The first time I heard PTX do this carol, it completely blew me away, much as it did you. Never in my wildest dreams did I think PTX could upgrade this song to make it so modern and yet traditional at the same time. They are truly magicians of sound to our ears.

The whole story of this song is just amazing. Such a simple, beautiful, and heartfelt hymn. Written for a church where the organ was broken. No musical accompaniment. Only human voices, lifted up in joyful praise. Listening to Pentatonix sing this version in a church just brings all that home in such a beautiful way.

I love to watch PTX reactors to see what songs are their favorites, who their favorite member is (you can usually tell after a few videos), and if they have the same reaction to certain aspects of a song as I had when I originally heard it. One thing I've noticed after enjoying all your PTX videos is you generally comment on the background vocals, percussion, and bass, but rarely comment on the lead vocals. Sometimes it seems like you are so focused on what's happening in the background in your headphones that you don't hear the soloists lol. There's nothing wrong with that and one of my favorite things about PTX is that everyone can find a voice or tone that appeals to them within the group, but after watching PTX reactors for years, I think you are the first one who reacts in that way. It's nice to see something different. One last note--in this one, I love watching Avi in the beginning when the trio is singing by themselves. He is like a proud papa listening to them.

Thanks, Chris, this brought back memories of Christmas time growing up. No dishwasher, so our Mum (soprano) and 4 kids (1 tenor, 1 baritone and 2 mezzos) would harmonise all the carols we knew, and our favourite was Silent Night. Our Dad was kindly asked not to join in. There is nothing better than listening to superb voices in settings like here 🎄

The Five Faces of New Pentaholics 1. The most common is the Mitch Slapped. Commonly found when Mitch is heard for the first time in Hallelujah, and doing Aha! at the Star Vista. 2. The Wide Eyed Look of Disbelief. Normally found when you hear their Wall of Sound. Found when listening to Mary Did You Know, Imagine, and Mad World. 3. The I Didn’t Want It to End face. Most commonly found after listening to the 90s Dance Medley. It can also be found after listening to all their medleys and evolutions. 4. The Teary Eyed Look. This is commonly found when listening to an emotional song of theirs or just the sheer beauty of their work. Commonly found when listening to Mary Did You Know, Hallelujah, Amazing Grace, Imagine, The Prayer and most especially Thank You. 5. The What Did I Just Hear Face. Happens when Pentatonix starts strong, or when you hear a really special note or Kevin sound. Is usually accompanied by rewinding the video or song to make sure your ears really heard what they heard. Those times are too many to list, but the most common rewind at the start moment is the beginning of Sound of Silence.

That is absolutely amazing. They have taken a somewhat simple melody and rhythm (even though it's popular ) and they weave that through a delightful harmonic arrangement, passing the melody line from one to another almost as if it has always been so. The bass enters almost as uf it were a drone, the extension/development hints at some of the best Renaissance church music though it is still of this century. I can understand how it takes you back to the birth of christ as the resonance of the sound is similar to that of a high ceilinged cave...or church/cathedral. The music takes us into a lullaby. All i want to know is how the hell did they come up with that? It's ingenious but would be nothing without those amazing voices. I wish i didn't live in the UK I too want to hear them live xx
