PENTATONIX Making Christmas REACTION - Nightmare Before Christmas - PTX Reaction Making Christmas!

[@TeaTimeWithTravis]

Just came home from work and listened to this one 4 times in the car. Back to back. I’m not obsessed or anything (lies) ! 😂

[@janetlawson4482]

Having watched you from the beginning of your Pentatonix journey, I really felt like you would appreciate every aspect of this, it’s so fast that only with repeated watching can you catch the subtle nuances of the choreography and actually just listening without the visuals is how I was able to dissect the vocal complexity of this, in The Making Of… the group speaks of the difficulty of this, while it looks quite simple, the choreography is quite impressive but contained and Mitch had mentioned that this was probably the most difficult song, vocally, very quick vocal tone changes and transitions between the major and minor keys, quite difficult, which made me truly fall in love with this, thank you for reacting Travis, have a wonderful weekend, your a joy to watch ❤️, Janet

[@bridgethaines7127]

I feel that their take on "My Favorite Things" invokes a bit of the feel of this video. Love it!

[@anitaslack9193]

I can't wait until you start doing actual Christmas songs and you react to Mr. Grinch. Matt actually sings lead on that one all the way through with Scott doing the background bass.

[@luckylady7542]

Mitch makes a beautiful, awful vampire? This is awesome. They are so talented. There isn't anything that they couldn't do and make it the best ever. Thank you. ❤

[@bridgethaines7127]

Mitch totes channels Barnabas Collins from Dark Shadows in "My Favorite Things" too.

[@luckylady7542]

@@bridgethaines7127 yes Barnabus. Everyone's favorite vampire. Couldn't wait for summer vacation so I could watch Dark Shadows. I didn't see Johnny Depps version.

[@Eric1SanDiego1]

Oh I can't WAIT until Travis reacts to "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" when Matt takes lead, Scott is All About That Bass, and Mitch, Kirstie and Kevin shine with their backups and sound effects.

[@lindafintling2042]

Yes!!! And it shows off their theatrical skills aswell. Of course that also applies to Making Christmas. Two great songs equally brilliant in performance! Love their facial expressions in Mr Grinch 😂😂😂

[@beverlykrebs4372]

@@lindafintling2042 Mr. Grinch is my absolute favorite of Matt's solos! He really pulls off the whole Grinch vibe!!! The behind-the-scenes video for it is so entertaining too!!! Travis will love it all!! And I can't wait for him to see my fav Christmas song - O Come All Ye Faithful!! Well, that one & Mary Did You Know?! Oh, what am I saying?! There are many more - I can't pick favorites coz they are all worthy of that title! Lol!

[@lindafintling2042]

@@beverlykrebs4372 Yes!!! I totally agree! Matt is killing it! And the other two are big faves of mine aswell!!! Mary did you know was actually my entrance to PTX many years ago through a share on Facebook. Such powerful lyrics and so well performed! I've been a Pentaholic ever since. And I totally adore the African vibe on Oh come... Impossible not to dance. LOVE them both!!!

[@Eric1SanDiego1]

@@lindafintling2042 Oh yes. There are a couple of songs they do that has a distinctly African vibe to it. That's one of the many things I love about Pentatonix: Each one of them has a different background, different tastes, different upbringings, and they just BLEND together so well. I really don't think there is anything they can't do.

[@lindafintling2042]

@@Eric1SanDiego1 Exactly! Their versitality makes them outstanding! No other group can compete with that in my opinion. Their creativity and geniality (is that a word?) is uncomparable. The sum of their combined talent seam to be much higher than the individuals added together if that makes sence. Just out of this world!

[@janetlawson4482]

Travis is going to love Christmas, O Come All Yea Faithful, Rockin Around The Christmas Tree, The First Noel, love Avi and Mitch in that one, Mary Did You Know, just sooo many!!!!

[@becca2383]

[@Sate12]

Rewind all you need to. We're here for wherever the journey takes you. Matt takes the lead and owns Mr. Grinch so check that out when you're comfortable enough to call it Christmas. Another not technically Christmas song is A few of my favorite things. It has the same Gothic elegance as this one

[@ravensouledsluagh]

Came here to suggest exactly these two. Kirstie leads "Favorite Things", but I think all the lads get a line or two. It also has the "hijacked by Tim Burton" vibe that this one did. And they're just adorable in it.

[@thechomiji]

Mitch was having waaaay too much fun! Matt was indeed amazing.

[@thegirlwhosparkles]

So excited! Matt's bass was just incredible

[@ellenhulslander2897]

Favorite Things!

[@becca2383]

Yes!

[@Kash7298]

2 things: A) love this song and your reaction and B) THAT HOCUS POCUS SHIRT IS EVERYTHING lol

[@ryanje8147]

Hahaha......this is the first time he didn't say he wanted Scott's outfit.

[@debbierhodes4479]

🤣🤣🤣

[@PurpleCinnamon-Land-Of-Misfits]

I don't know what was more epic, your face or Mitch's face in the video ❕❗ I loved it ❕❗

[@davidbangtson3109]

The arrangement and the production itself were so artfully done and the constant back and forth were totally fascinating. Kevin and Matt were the stars, but each did great unique stuff.

[@tersommers]

Love the shirt and the mug! The maniacal laugh by Mitch, twice! Matt's devious looks! The theatrics are so satisfying in this one! Their background in community theater came in handy on this one! This is the best of both worlds! Loved this! Thank you for the reaction!

[@callalily9842]

This maybe my favorite PTX reaction that you've done so far. That was so much fun! Matt is incredible. I love the richness of his voice. ❤️

[@conniehill4851]

That was fantastic!! Love them all. Mitch again spooking great!! Matt🤯 Listen to the Grinch. Also have you done Your power ?? Just Mitch it’s amazeballs!! Haunting and beautiful!!!

[@NicStryker1027]

Uh-oh, if we didn't lose him before he discovered their bottomless well of Christmas music. It will be a long time before he finds his way out of that rabbithole. 🤣

[@samnkacie]

This is getting me excited for you to react to Grinch!! Matt slays it as Grinch and you’ll absolutely love it!

[@TeapotNinja]

The mood of this one is so spectacular. Those effects! So amazing to see our theatre nerds sink their teeth into this. I'm not sure Kirstie understands how to dress for winter, though. 🤣

[@ravensouledsluagh]

She dressed for the office Christmas party. And I definitely want her outfit.

[@TeapotNinja]

@@ravensouledsluagh Right?! She looks amazing, just made me giggle when all the others are rugged up.

[@cindychurch925]

This is one of my all time favorites

[@r.d.stratford106]

Ohhhhh my. Okay, so you know how you often want to borrow shirts from Scott? Imma want to borrow that mug from you. That is too awesome! And I swear, your smile when you’re really delighted makes me smile too!

[@geraldinegailjavier7064]

I loved your response to Mitchs' laugh and probably the smile the first time, I know that it got me. Loved your reaction plus your shirt.

[@melissacoviello2886]

Mitch’s cackle was perfection, but I agree Matt was phenomenal.

[@wvob6752]

Silent Night and Mary Did You Know are beautifully done by them.

Yippee, another great one and I`m sure you will be ecstatic once you see this one. I can`t wait for you to do Problem.....💣

[@beverlykrebs4372]

Oh, I know!!! Matt & Kev just killin it at the beginning & all the way through it!!

[@karylmonaco8174]

Oh, my gosh! I never even heard about this one!! At first, I thought PTX was releasing new Christmas music and why hadn't I been notified. Finally figured it out and came back to watch it with you for the first time. I rewound more than you, however, so I got to watch your reactions multiple times, too! Such fun! And so much better with headphones. By the time you got to the first break, I was already rewinding and getting my Buds in my ears.

[@vickimoran1349]

I hadn't seen this one before, so I'm so glad your face popped up on my scrolling bar!! It sure is amazing! They absolutely rocked it! Great reaction as always! Thanks!

The vocal transition between major and minor key, so hard!!!

Travis, I knew you’d love this video. Your reaction was priceless and spot on. As a fellow Pentaholic, I love watching your Pentatonix journey and check in every day to see more. Happy Halloween!

[@morgsc]

You should def react to “My favorite things” it has more of a creepy vibe like this video, and kirstin takes lead :)

[@janetlawson4482]

I so that you would love this! Yeah!!!

[@marymichele340]

Matt was amazing. Fun reaction

[@amazinggrace5692]

Kevin tries to look menacing but really he’s too cute and nice!

[@MichelleB-yy8ge]

Since you like Halloween so much you ought to check out Monster Mash done by Geoff Castellucci. He is the bass for VoicePlay but does a bunch of things separately from the group and he just dropped this one today. You would also like his Headless Horseman video. And probably all of his solo stuff really. 😊

[@corelli2]

That was beyond great! That was one of a kind. 🎇🎇🎇🎇

There's a "behind the scenes" for this that's just as entertaining as the video.

[@richardwilson5560]

Loved your obvious delight! So glad you reacted to it. Thank you. 😁😁😎

[@rlhcat7662]

Yay - you did it! I thought you'd love this one. How do they go from sweet and perky to dark and creepy in one second??? They all have such a great combination of singing and and acting talents. There are many Christmas songs that I think you'd love, but I'll wait until Dec. to suggest those. A few more for now - PTX Light in the Hallway, there is no official video, here's a great live version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5m4mXmMeK6rndE ; Kevin Olusola Down; Scott Hoying Mitch Grassi & Rozzi Crane Stay With Me. Also, did I miss your reaction to the Sing Off #7? It's my favorite, so I'm turning blue from holding my breath.

[@vickyrobertson3166]

I agree with you. I love them all but Matt was amazing in this.

[@elainecourteau6231]

Isn’t it just... perfection. 🤗 I can wait until February for you to react to Valentine (one of my favorite PTX covers... well... let me think... lol). You should have tons of xmas stuff to react to soon, including their new album. Hummmm... maybe, if you have the time, you could react to their cover of “What is this feeling” from Wicked. It’s a live performance that was televised of the anniversary of Wicked... it’s kind of appropriate as a Halloween theme. Anyway, I really enjoy your reactions, comments and enthusiasm.

[@dolefomi]

Absolutely love this song and I quite enjoyed seeing that you do as well :D I am so curious how you'll react on Moon River 😍 anyways, have a great day and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

love the shirt. hocus pocus is a family tradition every year with the wife, kids and grandkids. The nightmare before christmas ties together mine and my wifes favorite holidays. great reaction as always.

[@miapendragon5240]

If you want a similar vibe form them check out My Favourite Things, if you want more Nightmare before Christmas, VoicePlay has covered 4 songs of that movie (Kidnap the Sandy Claws, What's this?, This is Halloween and Oogie Boogie Song)

[@ravensouledsluagh]

Since others already gave the suggestions I came here to make, I'm instead going to suggest their "New Rules x Are You That Somebody?" mashup. It opens with a little battle-type exchange between Matt and Kevin, and features Scott in the lead with some beautiful bell tones from Mitch and Kirstie.

[@imloco22]

I love it when you love it. Lol. It’s a very clever and fun video. Sounded like it would be right up your alley. The Grinch is a must but before you head to Christmas maybe do Mad World. It’s incredible.

[@missyjean37805]

Great reaction as always!! Youmake my day so much better. Thanks for the fun vid.

[@tamarasmith9060]

I knew you'd love it! Making Christmas is my 2nd favorite song from the movie. Another group did a cover of Oogie's song, & a lot of people liked it. I thought that it was done well, but the original song never made me want to sing along or put it on repeat, so I didn't really listen to the cover again. What I would love is for PTX to do their version of Kidnap the Sandy Claws. It's actually my favorite song from the movie, & when watching the movie (of course I have it on dvd!) I typically replay that scene multiple times before going on with the movie & then when it's over go back to that scene & do it several more times. 😂 I think PTX would do a fabulous version if they did it.

[@debbierhodes4479]

This is one of the best song that I think is overlooked a lot. Everyone is great. Love Mitch's evil laugh! He really needs to be acting on Broadway.

[@ambrossialynn4041]

Hehe, lots of fun as always

[@barbarabishop9362]

Do I get to say "we TOLD you so!" :D I adore this video, though right now it's having to fight to keep its spot in the top five since they released the deluxe version of "The Lucky Ones" with NEW TRACKS! Gah. And they're fabulous. (of course) I already mentioned that another "seasonal" one is "My Favorite Things." Trust me, it does NOT have a Julie Andrews vibe. And I am certain that for a little while it will also become "your favorite," until it gets toppled by the next in line. Like this one, it's got a touch of humor that is not normally a feature of most Pentatonix stuff. Which is a shame because they're really good at it. You haven't even touched the EDGES of the Pentatonix barrel, much less scraped the bottom. Not all their best music has a video. While I understand that the video reactions seem to call out for a video to watch, it's really the music you're most reacting to - though that little addition to Mitch's evil grin was PRIME! Plus there's so many of their older videos that are just amazing. LIke "Where are U Now?" and "Shallow." But for non-videos, try "Ref." It's got the most amazing a capella "synthesizer" effects you've ever heard. You are guaranteed to enjoy whatever you decide on next - let yourself loose!

[@Miobambino]

Never seen this before (bad pentaholic!!) This was great 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@da71le]

Yes I agree with many before.....check out Your a Mean One Mr. Grinch.....Matt rocks it

[@ptxlover6878]

Great reaction as usual! I second the recommendations for Mr. Grinch where Matt has the lead, and for something not spooky you could do "Home", "Dreams" (Cranberries) and "When the party's over" (Billie Eilish)

[@wiz7464]

If you like Halloween, you might like Candy (long and short version) and Doctor from Loic Nottet. He's a very talented young artist from Belgium.

There was just one thing missing here: character voices. I know, I know. VoicePlay has me spoiled.
