I also think it's worth noting that, yes, the bass singer can sing really low and it's so powerful and clean. But my dude is AAALLLLLL up and down the scale for that whole song. He's jumping almost an entire octave during the chorus back and forth, and that is SO HARD to do! So much respect.

[@TheMysticFolkYT]

Avi's voice and RANGE is just absolutely incredible. It feels like falling asleep. His solo music is amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you haven't!

My school a capella group got to meet and sing with Avi with a group of other choruses at a regional conference last year! He is SUCH a phenomal vocalist, both in Pentatonix and now in his solo career. We did this song, and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience.

Pentatonix is the closest humanity has come to the PERFECT combination of voices coming together to make music. Even when they change their line-up, they remain nearly perfect. It's like there's some music wizard that has magically brought these voices together. That sh*t doesn't just happen. There's some sorcery going on here.

[@safersephiroth943]

[@Thetruepianoman]

Pentatonix is life but I reckon you've forgot about every choir ever

[@VirtualBabe29]

They’ve only made one lineup change. In 2017 Avi left for personal reasons, and was replaced by Matt. . Kirstie and Mitch do change appearances regularly though.

[@rachelconsoli8428]

Agreed!! Matt is amazing, but the group is just not the same without Avi 🥺

[@rhia3012]

Personally I think that Avi brought the pure raw emotions everytime he sang no matter how many times he sang the same song The others have their moments of raw emotions (e.g their cover of say something(I love this one)) but they feel more theatrical at times rather than relaxed and become more dramatic the more times they sing the song Still an amazing group though :D

[@soccerwizard975]

I keep forgetting how irreplaceable he truly is. Matt is great but Avi is just in another universe.

[@richdiddens4059]

They filmed this on a southern California dry lake bed. In late summer when it was about 110 degrees. Bundled up because this was for a Christmas album. Now that's dedication.

[@cherlynnonaile]

I love them so much and knowing this fact makes them even more awesome 🥺 thanks for sharing!!!

[@anitaorvarsdottir]

why did so many people tell me it was filmed in iceland? where did that come from

[@walterhefty5618]

I'm really disappointed that Avi left the group. He is by far one of my favorite basses that I have ever heard (as a retired third bass myself. Lost my head voice in 2002 after a brain aneurysm. Not to mention that singing now gives me headaches). His bass line is so distinctive in this song and I love it.

[@melvinsmiley5295]

Didnt he want to stop the touring? I am sure that is so hard on artists being away from family.

[@steezymtb5876]

This hurt me as well. I truly believe that they were five people who were supposed to sing together. I have never heard a better combination of singers. And I definitely don't want to trash Matt, he does a good job in a hard position, but as a non-religious man I still have to say I believe there was a purpose for Avi to sing with these guys.

[@Chaoticchaos732]

Probably no one is here anymore but he has his own music now. He is on youtube I'd recommend looking him up

[@bradleywalton970]

Have you heard of Geoff Castellucci and Tim Foust? They are up there with Avi

I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your singing voice and that singing now gives you a headache. I bet that you were an excellent singer before the brain aneurysm. Would have loved to have heard your voice!

[@richardfranz3180]

Whenever PTX hits the crescendo of any song, I cry. That wall of sound from their voices bores deeply into me. Since it's the Christmas season, I suggest reacting to their new release "The Prayer", or an old classic "O Come All Ye Faithful". Both well worth it.

[@Max-jf5vu]

'The Prayer' is absolutely spine-tingling! No religious belief required, just sounds divine! Really encapsulates their re-establishing of the mastery of their art after the singer-change period.

[@Loruca]

I'm back. It wasn't Kelly's show, but I did find two live versions, neither of which play the whole thing. The Sirius XM version has Matt's verse and Scott's verse. Kirsten takes over Scott's verse and sings the "my chains are gone" part. They skip Kirsten singing the verse and skip Mitch's solo completely and go directly to Kevin's outro. In the version they did for the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, They did it the same as the studio version except they don't do Mitch's solo at all. Bummer. Mitch is so good!

[@queenofgreen83]

There’s a live version of this from their Christmas Special that is STUNNING.

[@DougCoughler]

I think Mitch's vocal range is really spotlighted in "The Prayer" that they just release a little while ago. It is with their new bass singer, Matt. Avi, the former bass and second soloist in "Halleluhah" left the group amicably to go on to do other things and is still releasing music. Scott (the first soloist) will take up the bass line when the bass singer has a solo, as you heard in this arrangement. This track always gives me goosebumps, as does "Sound of Silence". Christmas is definitely their best genre, but they've rarely had a "dud" with any of their covers or original pieces. If you want to hear them individually, Scott and Mitch make up "Superfruit", and Avi, Kristin, and Kevin all have solo work. Kevin is also a celloist (cellist?). Their collaboration with Lindsey Stirling on Radioactive is very good, as is their recent collab "Over the River" is a treat.

[@heinleinreader]

The first time I heard Pentatonix, years ago, sing anything, I cried. I am not ashamed of tearing up for a beautiful blending of voices. I love four part harmony and choir singing and such. I think one of the best I heard was the Statler Brothers doing a song called Bed of Roses. I also am a huge fan of The Oak Ridge Boys doing American Made and a few others of theirs as well. I love the blending of the harmonies in the Beach Boys Kokomo. I am a deep Baritone and can hit bass if I try, but I can also hit a full on middle tenor if I want to. I cannot go from one extreme to the other without sliding there, but I can do moderation within a particular vocal range with ease. These guys (and gal), are superb at it. I have heard practically every major release from Pentatonix since I first heard them. They are the most incredible blend of disparate vocals melded together into a pleasing whole I think I have ever heard. And just to establish my range, I can do all four parts of Elvira if I must, and I can fill any of the four that a group is missing. I feel most comfortable with the baritone, but can do any of the other three as well.

But my favorite part is listening for the layered bass on there. Avi has one of the best bass voices I've ever heard. His original music is so good. And Kevin, geez, he is so talented, in Pentatonix's cover of Radioactive, he is soooo good. Scott, I can't with him, trying to keep up with his runs is very difficult, and Kristin, such a lovely range, and cant get enough of her voice. And Mitch as well, his voice has got some umph to it but also is so beautiful in a softer setting. I love all of their older stuff. I make playlists for a couple yoga teachers and they specifically ask for this song at the end and it is perfect. Overall Pentatonix is an amazing group and I totally recommend a reaction video to sound of silence

This is definitely their best Christmas song, just because it’s perfect, but second best is Mary do You Know. Definitely recommend reacting to it!

I know they did so many songs by now but this arrangement will forever be my favorite. It's simply perfect in my opinion.

[@danielhoehne801]

Probably my favorite part, after having watched/heard this a ton...is after the voice wall...and Kevin and Avi breaking it down....the combination of percussion and bass....they do this in quite a few....but just recognizing what they are doing is amazing.

You're not the only one, I've cried a million times just listening to this song

[@haleyk.]

Omg you should definitely check out their song “Run to You”. It’s a original from them and it’s so stunning

[@hawnkane]

I love this version of Hallelujah, and with the added harmonies it brings such depth and soul. I see you're just like me whenever I hear a song done well with good technique and supported by an internal passion, it'll always draw tears to my eyes! I also love Lucy Thomas version of this song, very touching!

[@johntamplin4214]

Lucy Thomas’ version of Hallelujah absolutely crushes this……sorry, she’s on another level!

[@steveray9655]

With Christmas coming right up, I would recommend their live version (not from a concert, but performed/recorded live in the corridor of a stone chapel) of "Silent Night".

[@lala-it9ym]

Yes please!! its my favourite live performance of them

[@yarieliscedeno2548]

Another amazing song by Pentatonix is Oh Coma, All Ye Faithful!! Its absolutely amazing!!

[@DawnStafford-ez4mp]

My favorite part of this song is the SPECTACULAR timing. Perfect.

[@RainbowxZombee]

One of the things that amazes me the most is the fact that they don't use any instruments other then their voices and bodies. They are by far one of my favorite bands of all times and I absolutely live Mitch's voice. It is so pure.

[@rmjunk]

This gives me chills every time, especially the part where the camerawork gets even more dynamic.

[@bkeller1976]

This and “Mary did you know” gives me chills and goosebumps every time.

[@paulineestr]

mitch has the most incredible vocal range ever! you should watch some complications of his entire range because i would LOVE to see your reaction to it!

[@jessewashere4734]

I actually heard this song watching an episode of Jersey Shore where Mike and Lauren find out that they are having a baby and it sounded so good that I had to find out who sings it. Never heard of Pentatonix before but they made me love this song, a song that I never thought I would care for. So beautiful. Another song was Amazing Grace. I mean WOW! Mind blown...

[@donaldjohnson8336]

Sis, as a man, I am right there with ya with the 😭! . I remember having a teacher in college that would cry at amazing readings of poems. He used to say it this way, “When excellence hits your soul, it causes emotion.” Loved that guy. Great reminder to enjoy the things that resonate with you!

[@samanthaa3564]

Their versions of “The Prayer” and “Amazing Grace” are both amazing a similar feeling to this one.
