OFFICIAL VIDEO] Hallelujah - Pentatonix - Jerod M Reaction

[@coloradolady2379]

I love when a SINGER listens and comments on Pentatonix. Most people can hear how beautiful their music is, but only singers understand how exceptional they are. Their ranges are abnormally large, their control of their voices and their blend, the dynamics they use in their arrangements and are always on point! I’m so glad they are committed to the group because any one of them could stand alone, but as a group PTX is a rare and beautiful gift!

[@Angelfish757]

Oh you're a Pentaholic you just don't know it yet lol

[@theresamarion6211]

Their Bohemian Rhapsody cover will surprise you. They all have solo projects although Superfruit is Scott and Mitch together. They have two EPs out, Avi has an Album out, Kirstin has an album out and so does Kevin.

[@JerodM]

Theresa Marion Bohemian Rhapsody was great! I reacted to it but my video got blocked.

[@debimcgowan4478]

I'm loving your reactions to Pentatonix. Would u please react to their cover of Imagine by John Lennon, it's beautiful with a beautiful message from them. I think that it may push u over the edge to becoming a full blown Pentaholic. Thanks in advance!

[@JerodM]

Debi McGowan I will check it out. 😉

[@JerodM]

I reacted but the video I uploaded was blocked by SME. Sorry. 😕

[@JerodM]

P.S. I admit...I am a pentaholic...they are too good

[@gustavsson5277]

Yes, that was Scott doing the bass!! It seems like most people doesn't notice that so I'm SO glad that you did! :D I'm also really glad that you're a Scott fan (he's my favourite) and that you commented on his passion when he sings ^^ I'm definitely going to watch every PTX video you react to

[@JerodM]

Thank you so much!

[@NeckCS2]

Wrong! Scott is NOT singing the bass (in this version). Scott does the bass line when the perform this live. For the studio recording Avi is double looped. They recorded his base line and his singing part separate. If you listen closely on the Hali"LUJAH" part, you can hear SIX voices. The other 4, Avi's bass part, and his singing part. If you listen to the live version you can key in and hear that Scotts par during that isn't there because he covers the bass in the live version.

[@dangdang4334]

Neck false,

[@emiliajojo5703]

Scott is so underrated!

[@lisahood1389]

Yes in all cases, when the bass (Avi or Matt) is singing bass, Scott takes over. They do this live as well, you can’t fake it.

[@mchras]

I love that you show appreciation for Scott in his song. Many people talk about Mitch or Avi or Kirstie (which they deserve), but almost no one talk about everything Scott does in this song. Thank you for acknowledging him!

[@dianad3080]

New subscriber here. I love your passion for music and enjoy your appreciation for PTX. Keep it up.

[@detrix42]

when Avi is singing, Scott is in fact doing the bass!!

[@song7087]

detrix42 in the live version not this. Avi’s bass was recorded

[@dangdang4334]

SONG false

[@chrissyvictory232]

@@song7087 false, in both versions it is Scott singing the bass line while Avi does his solo. You can hear the difference in the tone between the two.

[@twilightrhapsodist]

“Oh that’s Avi....I remember him.” Too soon.

[@elaineadams6718]

Great reaction..yes, that was Scott doing the bass line..they are all so talented!! Just a few of their videos..Imagine..Royals..Say something..Mary did you know..you can't lose listening to any of their videos~~~

[@NinjarioPicmin]

was it confirmed that it is scott? i struggle to believe that ( i know he can go that low and does it live, but really in the studio too??)

[@vickiehitch6436]

you r right. Pentatonix r awesome

[@taya989]

Ninjario Picmin yes that's why it's hard to hear even in studio because his bass isn't as powerful as Avi or Matt

[@jck1794]

that's not Scott, listen more closely. Avi's tone is very recognizable. They double layered him in for the studio version.

[@cherylwilson8743]

Yes, it's Scott. Go watch the live version and you'll see Scott doing the bass. He does it while Avi sings then they switch back.

[@jeancaldwell233]

Every one of these people is so incredibly talented, it just blows my mind. It always amazes me how full those five voices sound, even when recording live. As you know, they all have solo projects in their own preferred styles. In Avi’s album, under Avriel and the Sequoias, he has a great, upbeat version of Sweet Adeline, sung more in his baritone range. Recently he posted a more soulful, solo version in his bass range that is just beautiful. It is on his Facebook page, and it’s well worth looking checking out.

[@allybandy3047]

For Kirstin go for Rather Be. Filmed in Japan. She also does some amazing things in Perfume.

[@mimmzee53]

I tend to go on KZbin binges watching Pentatonix reaction videos lol. I'm glad I came across your channel! Can't wait to see when you start getting to all the Christmas stuff! (If you plan to)

[@JerodM]

I definitely plan to very soon. (I know it's early, but Christmas preparation for me has always started in September...)lol

[@chrissyvictory232]

SAME! LOL. I always love watching the reactions to all PTX. 😊

[@biggeorgetx]

If you enjoy acapella, give Home Free a try. IMO they are PTX's equals as far as harmonies and arrangements. Start with In The Blood, Helplessly Hoping and How Great Thou Art, on a lighter side Hillbilly Bone, My Church, All About the Bass, Butts Remix. They have dozens of videos on KZbin, all exceptional.

[@JerodM]

George Schuller I have heard them. They are a great group. I will try to react to one of those I haven't seen yet.

[@dorothycarson6339]

They sound the same on tour and in person I promise you .

[@brittanygidley6081]

Mitch’s voice 💜 in the hat and then Avi in the beanie 💜

[@joebarnhart4460]

Ha! You were a Pentaholic by the second video. You just didn't know it yet. Kirstin's stuff -- Disney Love Medley with Voctave (amazing soprano in that group), Over the Rainbow (sung live at a dog event), and the national anthem at a basketball game (never heard a more impressive rendition).

[@JerodM]

Perhaps... haha

[@rawans5769]

React to their vocal ranges lmao

[@PMJonte]

HALLELUJAH!...a simple song that has bore more fruit than a peach orchard in Georgia. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like something a southerner would say. AGX here...saying hello from Houston. I hadn't realized how new to PTX you were. Let me tell you something...I don't fan-boy often because it goes against my image of being an angry rock n roll guy (he says sarcastically), but this is the song that hooked me, not to mention it was the first thing I had ever heard from PTX. And I have heard more people say that about HALLELUJAH than any other song. What's cool about your reactions is you seem to understand what the sonic experience should be when listening to music from both an arranging and recording perspective. PTX clearly has an amazing engineering team and their musical talent goes without saying. But, they use very basic fundamentals of music theory to arrange their pieces, which is why they are so amazing. Think about it...who the f*** in the pop music world does that?! Anyway...thanks for a great reaction. I eagerly await your next PTX upload. Until then...AGX out.

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Please react to Pentatonix singing Amazing Grace, Imagine, Be My Eyes

Jaw dropping perfection. Pentatonix gives it all.

[@shaylove8395]

Right!? Jaw on the floor! I love Pentatonix. Acapella fascinates me and they've really pulled together a perfect vocal range. I'd love to hear your thoughts on WorshipMob's cover of "Sinking Deep" by Hillsong.

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

Leonard Cohen, the gentleman who wrote this song, heard Pentatonix version shortly before he passed and said it was the best cover of his song he had ever heard.

Thanks Jerod, I'm a big Pentatonix fan and just starting enjoy the reaction videos. Enjoyed yours.

[@davidanderson6460]

This is the first of your reaction videos that I've seen. You picked a good one from PTX to react to. I don't know what you like, but check out Gabriel Henrique - "I Look To You" (Acoustic version). You won't be disappointed. Maybe you'll offer a reaction. A bit of trivia: Though you'd never know it from this video, it was over 100 degrees in that desert.

[@NeckCS2]

[@philquinton777]

Just found your site. You mentioned the setting. I believe it is the dry lake at Edwards Air Force Base, judging from the mountains in the background. Used to live near there. Even though it is the desert, it is pretty. The group just makes it even better.

[@wvob6752]

Avis is doing the bass while Scott is singing. When Avi sings Scott does the bass.

The beauty of reacting to great music is to shut up and listen.

Wow, as human beings with the ability to sing, it's AMAZING we can sound like this with just our vocal chords! They're my favorite a Capella group.💛

Check out their vocal ranges at least the trio aka Kirstin Mitch and Scott but there is one for Kevin and Avi even one for Matt

[@peterramsay7779]

You need to turn up the volume, so we can all hear it better.

[@susanbrown2578]

who can replace kirsten💔

[@mecfstraveler]

Kirstin has a Self-Titled CD that she released around the same time that Superfruit released theirs. She did an Official Music Video for each song as well. I think she did not get the support she deserved from Pentaholics, but she never does and I don't know why. I LOVE Kirstin and she is as important as every other member of that group. I'd love to watch your reaction to her 1st release from the album! It's called "Break a Little" by Kirstin (she has chosen to go by her first name only as an artist). 😊

[@twilightrhapsodist]

If you like this one, you’d love their version of Mary Did You Know.

So you're almost admitting you're a Pentaholic as of May 2018. When did you decide to attend PentaCon?

[@leesteele9261]

There is own Avi sings with a honor choir. Do Hallelujah, daft punk.

[@mecfstraveler]

I honestly believe they would be at least nominated for a Grammy for this video and the arrangement. The location was so barren as it would have been when King David had been writing songs in the Book of Psalms and I do believe he is the king they are referring to in the lyrics. Yes I know they refer to Sampson and things like that but I just mean it's so bear and it shows the pain of the Soul that is reflected in the song. It's that feel that makes the song So poignant. And they also kill this one live! It's one of Kirstin's personal bests, always gives me chills. Being that the original is such a beloved song it's amazing that they were able to make people like another version, their version. This is one I didn't watch for a while because I was afraid that for the first time I would just like something by PTX. I was wrong! There's been a couple that I was afraid to listen to and waited a while. They never let me down on those either I was certain they were going to because it was my favorite songs from favorite artists! For instance the evolution of Michael Jackson. I didn't want to hear that one. He is such a special and unique human being and talent I never thought anybody could do any justice to his music besides Michael himself. But they did a great job! If they're pretty smart about certain songs performed by particular performers that are classics and cannot be improved on in our minds. PTX is very smart when they covered those songs. They keep it as close to the original as they can. Like they did with bohemian Rhapsody. Leaving getting requests to cover that throughout their career, and they always said no they did not feel that they could do the original Justice. They said if they ever came to a place where they thought they could do justice to that song maybe then they would cover it. I was amazed when they did go ahead and cover that. Some things people didn't notice in Bohemian Rhapsody. We always pick up on Kevin doing acoustics and rhythm but I found it really nice that we got to hear the piano as Freddie Mercury played it in the beginning. I expected to hear that piano cuz I was listening for the original song subconsciously and it just was really a treat that they vocalized those notes. They were very smart to stick to the original and not try to change it. They still remember to be humble and I just love the heck out of that about them. They show a lot of respect where it's definitely due. Another short story by me and an amazing reaction from you!

[@elizabethtailor111]

Music magic. The most amazing thing about them is that even though they are every one star quality, they seem to be able to subjugate their egos in service to the music. Shows rare humility, and true friendship, which I hope they can maintain so we can continue to enjoy them. Makes me think they must be very nice people.

[@chrisabel1833]

This was released about the time Mr. Cohen passed away ... such a fitting tribute to an amazing songwriter. Many, many people and groups have covered this song -- this is my favorite.

[@susansisson366]

The baseline, as sung by Avi, underlies the harmonics of the trio, and is gorgeous. The visuals, ending with the winter sunset sky, is simply stunning, especially with the song which has built to such a tremendous crescendo, and then fades, as does the winter sky, into the perfect ending. Wow! They released this record just two weeks before the composer, Leonard Cohen, passed on to glory. I hope he heard their version before he died. It is the best, the very best, and the perfect song to go out on.

No, it's not Scott singing the low base while Avi is singing. It's double recorded, once with Avi doing background low base, then with him singing the low tenor part. There's a lot of double recording going on with the production videos. Don't fuss, it's the norm thing to do.

[@ElianaOteroP]

Actually is Scott doing the bass line. Check hallelujah live and you can see him doing the bass.

[@lefoifalemalama3112]

[@MaiOnYoutube]

Scott takes over the bass parts when Avi sings. You can hear Scott's bass in this song. His range can go that low too. :)

[@dianad3080]

@Obama's Uncle, Scott indeed takes over the bass while Avi is singing. If you watch a live performance you can actually see Scott singing the bass while Avi sings. Scott can sing pretty low as well. He has an incredible range. I just attended their concert 3 days ago and they actually performed this song and Matt the new bass sang while Scott did the bass as well. 😊
