Matt did amazing here.

[@josephonyuma3631]

Hallo toto,, 😊

[@caseystoran7435]

Mitch always slays 😍😍

[@kristinewalberg2938]

Based on seeing them live in 2023 and the new tracks on their Christmas compilation, Matt has come into his own a great deal more than he was in this recording. He'll probably never be a basso profundo like Avi (which is probably as rare as Mitch's countertenor) but his voice has developed a beautifully warm, open tone that's very pleasant to the ear. What the commenters here might not realize is that Matt (if my math is correct) was only about 25 here, while Avi was 29. Few pep[le have their full, mature voice in their mid-20's that they'll develop in their late 20's or early 30's, and now that they've all reached that age they're making some amazing music--their old "O Holy Night" was beautiful, but the version released last year is just astounding, The one thing I don't care for in their current version of "Hallelujah" is that instead of having a sublime, unified swell of sound at the end, it's Scott singing a powerful lead with the rest of the group acting, basically, as his backup singers, something that seems to happen quite a bit these days. He has an amazing voice, but I still miss the old unity.

Matt is amazing! Love this version 😍

[@robingrace1899]

They are amazing as usual. Love them.

[@dorothybetlu5861]

HALLELUJAH

[@josephonyuma3631]

Super cute ❤️

[@manbumps]

Not bad. Definitely miss Avi though! He had such warmth to his voice.

[@hanaeve__]

manbumps Me too!

[@notevenclose.]

Years ago, but yeah

[@glideslope6845]

Do it better bro :)

[@hanj31]

Avi has a much thicker/ heavier voice than Matt. Matt has a lighter voice

[@sarahbrooks1471]

They were amazing I was there.

[@Inbedwhereelese]

Nooo I wish Matt would stay low on his part. All of them can go high, but what made that part so special was to hear how low a persons voice can go. I really like him overall, but definitely perefer avi‘s version in this particular case

[@carlexiamunnings5136]

me also

[@hanaeve__]

Agreed

[@Quanimus]

Me too

[@baev2]

I dont think this part is to see how low a person's voice can go. cause when avi was doing it, his voice was not as low and was singing normally

[@mkhypz9369]

Isabella Kab same

[@almaceciliasalgadovalenzue1959]

[@chr1srugby]

I wish I could see them live. When are they coming to the UK?!?!

[@elf.claritas8389]

soon this year!!!

[@thomaswall1079]

SAME!!!!! I really want them to come to Ireland this year

[@chrissnyder8799]

I’m waiting for them to come to AZ

[@bonniewells9208]

Miss Avi.

[@user-rs8vk5cq9i]

Ещё как! Не могу привыкнуть к Мэтту. Ребята что-то безвозвратно потеряли с уходом Ави, это очевидно. Но всё равно люблю их!

[@bedjwokpaulino4557]

i want to learn the sequence of the harmony of this song, i really like it, someone help me

[@santiagoeliascastellanosbe7219]

Matt's falsetto in 1:32

[@jolanethomas971]

Why would you alter the lyrics of a Leonard Cohen classic?

[@larrywt656]

There are over 80 verses to this song. Cohen continued adding verses over the years and always wanted the performers to choose which verses they wanted to perform in their versions. He even encouraged improvisations.

[@francispino4455]

did scott just bass? WTF?

[@clairebear1101]

Scott always does bass when the bass has the main part

[@elizabethfletcher3518]

Yea, Scott takes over the bass a lot more than most people would think

[@SoLuna137]

He is a baritone so he can take over bassline when the main bass is doing the singing.

[@annacarr9579]

I covered this song with my friends, I'd love if people would check it out!

[@rexfordasante6570]

Ptx no size

[@_sissibeauty_]

I miss avi

[@notevenclose.]

No one can do better than Avi, but he's good tho.

[@m.t.6969]

I didn't know she "broke his arm." Lol

[@k.m.1993]

I don't know the problem here. They don't sound even. Slightly out of tune everywhere except for Mitch.

[@Gonzalisto]

They are live and usually they use prerecorded tracks live, that's what you notice differently. That doesn't mean they sing badly, just that they usually have recorded tracks and this is not the case.

[@nicholasw.3488]

@@Gonzalisto They usually have recorded tracks?

[@Gonzalisto]

@@nicholasw.3488 yes, sometimes and sometimes they don't. I really don't know what it depends on.

[@jwmrules]

@@Gonzalisto they do not usually have prerecorded tracks for concerts actually! For live appearances on shows on NBC or like New Years they might, but not really for their concerts. I know this was a while ago but just wanted to put that out there

[@thomasisbored9060]

They do sound different in concert because of the sound system and the sound deadening but there is no excuse for what matt did

[@sashikemo]

Что за резкий ход в верх во время соло Мэтта? Хреновенько..

[@user-nt5vg6yq4x]

Бля, че это было вообще. Было бы еще красиво..

[@amaddock2952]

This doesn't sound good...is it maybe just a very bad recording?

[@violetangel5291]

Avi version was better lets admit it.....i miss his low notes

[@jinyin1385]

This new guy s notes and voice changed the energy ptx originally conveyed . He is not as phenomenal and unique as AVI Kaplan. PTX is not PTX anymore without the basso profoundo. This group has been outstanding due to this high tenor / counter tenor and the basso profoundo . I am not saying everyone else is worthless, however, Kaplan and Grassi s voices and vocal abilities don't sound like human possible, and their voices do complement each other perfectly.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

@@jinyin1385 I personally think their arranging is a way more important part of their success and the way they sing as one being, than a rare "wow he can go so high/low" shock moment. Yes, those are fun, but would just be a gimmick without the actual substance. And they can throw in a Matt growl note here and there if they need some shock value. I don't think their extremes were more than added sprinkling.

[@thomasisbored9060]

What the hell did matt do it sounded horrid

[@floriangrogoll5206]

i love ptx....but the head voice from matt...nope

[@elizabethfletcher3518]

Same
