Pentatonix - Hallelujah REACTION! WOW WHY I TAKE SO LONG FOR THIS 2

[@susansisson366]

Pentatonix released this cover just two weeks before Leonard Cohen, who wrote this song, died. It's my hope that he got to hear this before he died. It's the best version of this song ever -- they saved the best for last, so to speak.

[@michaelf8702]

Allegedly he did & stated it was his favorite cover...

It was shot in the Mojave Desert (not sure exactly which part, but it wasn't Death Valley). Fun fact: It was shot using a drone camera! The "Da da dummm" is the bass harmony, done by Avi, except during Avi's solo when Scott took over the bass harmonies.

It look like the dry lake bed north of ridgecrest in the mojave desert

[@DavidRay_40]

I don't know all their names; the only one I could identify was Kevin, so tell me, who was the guy with the insanely high vocal range? I think his vocal range is five octaves, which is ridiculous for a guy.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

@@DavidRay_40 That would be Mitch Grassi. His voice is a natural countertenor, which is the highest of the male voices. What's particularly impressive is that it seems to come so easily to him. He never seems to strain to hit those insane high notes. Check out their live concert performance of "Aha" (by Imogen Heap) at the Singapore Star Vista. Mitch was absolutely on fire that night He explores the stratosphere in that one.

[@katykilminster2172]

This is my zen song, for some reason when I'm down and stressed this song always lifts my spirits and gives me renewed strength. Thank you so much for reacting to it.

[@christinaalvarado1983]

This is my son's favorite song (version) ever! He just turned 7 and it's been his favorite since he was 3!

[@mecfstraveler]

When I first saw this in my feed I did a double check on the date it was uploaded. I didn't know that there were reactors out there that have been heard acting as long as you have who haven't seen Hallelujah yet. It's usually the first one they react to. But hey I'm glad you saw it now! I love it and thought it should have won an award. I still think that but I hold no Sway With the powers that be in the awards Department of any music institute. I know hard to believe but it's true. Enjoyed your reaction

[@peacetoyou63]

This is the most covered song ever! Its writer and genius is Leonard Cohen. Please learn more about this icon; he passed away a few back.

[@JoleneDaviesITKWJ]

LOVE this rendition... PTX is amazing

[@edwardvanleppard2774]

Kirsten’s beauty in the moonlight overthrew me!

[@merenthatarrant1860]

They're awesome. Glad you found em

[@roxiilouise3006]

The great value jesus. I have screamed 😂😂😂😂😂

[@verdammtsirius]

More pentatonix!!!!

[@aaronwatson9653]

Avi kaplin the guy that does the bass voice has his own songs out now he's solo check him out!

[@Rickbe3rd]

If you like them, try (Mary Did You Know). Heavy stuff.

[@heatherjackson6231]

One of my favorite songs ever! Right up there with Man in the Mirror & Allman Brothers-Soulshine! We all have those go to songs! Much luv from Iowa 😘😘

[@philquinton777]

Shot at Edward's Air Force base, just east of Mojave, California. On the dry lake bed the shuttle landed on.

[@QueenOfTheSea101]

they are purely accapela. EVERY 'instrumental' sound you hear on thier videos is either from their vocal chords or their bodies... which given all the songs they sing, is impressive. also clear why so damn many reacts channels react to this video, mr Billy.

[@chrisbrewer3820]

Could you react to “I can only Imagine” it by mercy me. It is one of my favorite Christian songs. Many people say it is one of the best Christian songs ever written. I hope you consider to react to it.

[@lornaanderson1459]

That's a beautiful one!!

[@ladywytch129]

I am not even Christian and I like that one!

[@deannakinsman6790]

Finally...great reaction!!!

[@BillyYouSoCrazy]

I know I know 😆

[@jenniferyoung8551]

I had to laugh when you mentioned how many views their video had b/c i was gonna mention you were a little late to the game BUT better late than never!!! Lol

[@mariomariolemieux982]

You would have the same "why did I wait so long" response to anything BabyMetal. For the love of all that is metal, check out Road of Resistance, live in Japan

[@rinmorinzumofu]

First!!! React to any Pentatonix, Superfruit, Avi Kaplan or Kevin Olusola

[@tommckinney3136]

Avi Kaplan. Without him the bass line just isn't there.

[@thelivingmiracle]

That intro had me ROFLMFBO

[@avengersfan949]

I love Mitch’s hat in this video

[@aprilsaling2038]

You said Great Value Jesus and I damn near lost my shit LOL

[@sean1849]

about damn time

[@dtwolfe63]

If you haven't yet, you might wanna check out their live performance of this song... It sounds almost identical to the recorded version seen here.

[@calhoun1968]

I believe they said in an interview, that they filmed it in the desert on their way to Lost Wages. Peace, Love and Light my friend.

[@volgrl78]

Another great one!!

[@aginggamer9720]

I think they filmed in Death Valley, CA.

[@cnikkiturner76]

Joey Fatone from N’Sync.😂😂

[@jakemoeller7850]

Pentatonix: Daft Punk is 🔥🔥!!

[@LeaderofThePack303]

You should react to Kyle Tomlinson - Hallelujah. He performed his version on Britain's Got Talent in front of Simon Cowell. This version is the most beautiful i have ever genuinely heard in my life.

[@MsSuperbutterfly]

Love this song. Please react to Avi Kaplan- Change on the Rise. Home free -.Man of Constant Sorrow

[@cherylgoodyear6199]

He has already reacted to both of those. 😉

[@cherylgoodyear6199]

He has already done both of those. 😉

[@MsSuperbutterfly]

@@cherylgoodyear6199 thanks, I will look again for them. I must have overlooked them when I looked before.

[@minesimusic1447]

Great idea for a video here... React to the song “THROUGH THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES” -By Dragonforce.

[@mariomariolemieux982]

I'll help you get the Dragonforce if you help me get the BabyMetal. I've been going for Road of Resistance, which DragonForce helped write

[@minesimusic1447]

Mario Mario Lemieux fair enough mate crack on

[@minesimusic1447]

Mario Mario Lemieux and I was just giving a suggestion but hey, more the merrier.

[@lonniekramlich6241]

Billy, it looks like Death Valley, sunrise or sunset, an in the winter.

[@JH-ho2mh]

Give a song called Times by Tenth Avenue North a listen... As deep as it gets!

[@jayholland2632]

This video along with 'Daft Punk' (mashup) and 'Imagine' (John Lennon cover) are part of the reason that they have +3 Billion views on YT, and a rabid fanbase of "Pentaholics", of which I am proudly one. Not to mention the incredible side projects that Scott and Mitch (Superfruit) kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2mYhmaahdqciJY , Kirstin (original pop songs) kzbin.info/www/bejne/npibnauqgLiAh5I , and Kevin Olusola (looping KOver's) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3jNmGRvaM1nhc0 . Along with Avi's, now former bass, solo work kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWmVc4eugbOlpdk . As a group they are one of the most talented top to bottom. There are no weak links. Their arranging ability is unmatched. Which is why they can turn covers into their own, often better than the original, and originals that are just as incredible. The thing I find so impressive though is that, apart from the occasional addition of Kevin's cello, Beyonce, that the sound is produced from just five voices. So well in fact, that often times you actually forget that there are no instruments. While this is A capella music it is most definitely not the "barber shop quartet" that people too often associate with that term. I continue to enjoy your reactions and look forward to more PTX reactions, hopefully.

[@geertje1974]

❤. Please react to anything ptx, superfruit, mitch grassi graveyard, Scott hoying all of me, Kevin sign of the times , avi kaplan otherside.And so much more.❤

[@miyajheale8078]

"Where'd they film this at? The middle of the Earth? I don't understand this" Huh... never been to or seen video's of Burning man then have you?

[@randyjohnson8787]

Billy please react to Lucy Thomas version of hallelujah

[@kathrynhaskins3491]

Half a billion views, says something

[@amandacrouch80]

Joey fatone is the nsync guy i think

[@maccrazy7335]

You should try the Jeff Buckley version as well.

[@gretchenoliver3388]

OK review, but the squeaky chair did not improve on the beat boxing.

[@Hucfinn-zz8dl]

Yes, This version is one of my favorite's of this song ! Mr Cohen wrote an amazing song ! You need to hear it with his own voice !!!

[@richardbrewer3078]

Yep, that was Leonard Cohen's classic that has been covered probably by more artist that any other song in the past 20 years. Great version! Now, Billy Weabs, you never have played a request by me before and I don't bug you often, but I'd like to hear an old classic Chuck Berry song from Pulp Fiction. Please play the electric guitar pioneer's great "C'est la vie" or as some know it as "You never can tell."

[@dodiesdiary]

Written by the late departed poet, singer songwriter, Leonard Cohen. His record company turned this song DOWN! Only shows what dumb ass suits they were. R.I.P. Mr Cohen.

[@noahkenner2845]

Can you do a luke Bryan song

[@bamachine]

The best version of this song is by Jeff Buckley. If you have not heard it, you are truly missing out. It puts this to shame. They are fine performers but they cannot touch his haunting voice.

[@andyb1653]

LOL Yeah dude looks like Jesus, if Jesus was a stoner from Redding, CA
