It's a joyous anthem...as it should be. Pentatonix has made it "smile", for sure. It's now the only version of the song I want to hear. They have zeroed-in on the essence of the song! Wow!!!

You said it very well! They are individually so extraordinarily gifted + dedicated (they WORK at their craft). And they are also stunningly generous as musicians and artists. As you put it, each one can shine without overrunning anyone else. They understand the interdependence, vulnerability and power required for their "musical magic" to shine its brightest. Love them, love them, love them.

It was pure genius that they gave this song an African vibe! I suspect that Kev being of Nigerian heritage had something to do with the origin of this arrangement! I’ll bet 95% of first-time listeners would never guess the genre this would be in when they first tuned in! Pure genius! Kev’s a genius anyway!)

Hello DTV! This is my favourite PTX Christmas songs and definitely my favourite version of this song. Makes me want to get up and dance every time. Avi and Kevin driving the rhythm is great. Scott starting so smooth and rich. Mitch and Kirstie with the ear candy "Eee yeah eee yeah". Then Mitch and that angelic voice and piercing clarity. Kirstie sharp and clear. Then they start layering and stacking the voices one on top of the other, so glad you picked that up....it is genius in the arrangement. Then the choir coming in then rising to the crescendo. The joy on their faces and the dancing! A total Pentatonix masterpiece...yet again!

I don't have a huge amount of experience, but what I HAVE experienced of African music, is it's been so full of joy. This took me back to the first time I saw "The Lion King", the musical. We were lucky enough to be sitting in the orchestra section. So when in the opening number all the "animals" came down the aisles singing....ohhhhh! So overcome with joy & awe!! This song brings me right back to that moment and those feelings. Pure happiness!

I'm wandering through Pentatonix Christmas reactions to try and get a little Christmas in July vibe going. I loved your reaction to this song! It is such a joyous song and it makes you want to dance no matter the time of year. This is absolutely my favorite version of this song. I'm afraid when I hear it from now on, it will feel a little dull. But then, that's what Pentatonix does! They take a song that you may like a little or even dislike a little and turn it into your absolute favorite song. This is definitely an upgrade to an old Christmas song and I appreciate you reacting to it! Cheers! PS I liked your reaction so much that I am subscribing today.
