Pentatonix White Winter Hymnal - Perth, Australia - REACTION VIDEO

[@melissa1991]

This video was filmed by me at their concert in Perth, Australia. Original video credit is from this channel youtube.com/@melissa1991 where more videos from this concert are available

[@vidsorama2]

Thank you very much for sharing your videos, Melissa. You did a great job of recording the performances by Pentatonix. I hope that you had the most amazing time at the concert.

[@madenabyss6981]

I went to that concert me and my daughter had the best night ever

[@karenkilner1090]

Oh come all ye faithful is my favourite Pentatonix Christmas song. Very up beat

[@tammyree6200]

Agree. Can't help but move!!❤

[@karehelene]

But even though you like their li-i-ve works, their official video of this is the one you want to watch!

[@LisaD-1969]

Agreed! The original video is the best.

[@philipkudrna5643]

They have a tutorial for the clapping pattern on KZbin. It‘s super hard. We learned it with a group of friends and performed that song. Singing is one thing, clapping is another. But doing all together is insanely hard!

[@cosmicdrift8311]

One of the most incredible demonstrations of hand-mouth coordination. Shreds the cup song. On the official video is a link to learn how to do the hand choreography yourself - if you dare to try.

[@vidsorama2]

Fun times. Thanks for the reaction to this live Pentatonix performance. They are so adorable.

[@keithschneider7716]

This song was originally recorded by the band Fleet Foxes. It is about addiction and the songwriter’s loss of high school friends. The red is blood.

[@denisehaukkala9742]

Every time I hear this I think this is an Edgar Allen Poe version of a Christmas carol. Like the round set up on this too. Neat group hand work too.

[@Mike_Judas_Priest_Kalsek]

Pentatonix doing Pentatonix stuff haha! Well, what else can I say? You know it's gonna be good just because they always seem to do great stuff, right? Cheers!

[@megjones7860]

Thanks for this one Debbie!! Pure Pentatonix Perfection every time. The only thing better than watching PTX sing, is watching them sing and dance - even if it's only the hand choreography. Skill, focus and concentration with superb vocals!!

[@madenabyss6981]

I was at that concert with my daughter it was so much fun❤❤

[@michaelbritt3466]

Great reaction Debbie! FYI, there is an official video of this song where they are closer to the camera and they can be seen more easily.

[@rfiliagaful]

This is a cover of Fox Fleet's song. Most people talk about the French revolution in connection with the lyrics that talk about the children with their little heads falling in the snow. But I've never been able to make much sense of the words. I just love the time, the harmonies, and especially the hand choreography.

[@tammyhill3798]

Of course we want to watch them again and again and again. Then with reactors, again and again…😂🤭🤗💋

[@thequestionqueens]

YAY!! Love them

[@melissacoviello2886]

They’ve posted some funny compilations of them practicing. I got to see them perform this live, there first time ever (as far as I know) last November for their first show of their Christmas tour. I almost always replay each song. Lol

[@lindaosmon5224]

Ha ha there is a video out there showing when they were rehearsing for this tour, Matt was having a hard time and Mitch was giving him a hard time.

[@thequestionqueens]

Mitch is an adorable instigator 😂

[@thechomiji]

Love this song! It's awesome that they've started doing it live - the original video was many years ago.

[@robinmcdaniel5881]

The original video with Avi looks like they are trying really hard not to look at each other and laugh. 7 years later and no mistakes.

[@leanndawson1570]

Very true....then there's Kevin, who looks like it's his easiest day at the office, EVER. 😅

[@Bonofox1]

You should also react to the official video!!

[@rachellephipps1361]

Yes its amazing!

[@rfiliagaful]

Yes, you can really see their hand choreography in the official video. I love this song

[@danielcarter837]

I was a drummer that would sing backup and this is hard. I was not near as talented as them so it may be easier, but this is hard. Queen I am sure you came by your multiple syllable pronunciation of a single syllable word by living in the south. You came by it naturally. Don't change a thing. Pentaholics are used to listening to Christmas songs all year round. We are perfectly fine with it.

[@tamarasmith9060]

The guy who wrote the song said it has no historical references or deep meaning. He simply saw a bunch of kids playing together one day & had a flashback to when he & his "pack" played together running through the woods & playground & such doing games like follow-the-leader. As to everyone trying to read into the scarf color, in modern times red is simply the most common color scarf & gloves bought for kids, typically because it will match their Christmas outfits & also the bright color makes them easier to spot. Parents think kids will be less likely to lose them if they're a bright fun color, but I don't think statistics would show that to be true.😂

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

❤❤❤

[@janetlawson4482]

Their video was when Avi was still in the group. You can see their hand movements so much better, yup, I’d be slapping everybody 😂❤

[@catherinelopresti7121]

Love them!! You should check out their cover of Carol of The Bells and Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy (they received a Grammy for the second one). Their versions are sooo good! Don't like the originals anymore. Their Christmas songs bring a whole new life to the songs that you have heard year after year and are tired of!

[@davidphillips4476]

They actually have a choreography video of their hand patters out there. There is no way I could do that AND sing.

[@9012505]

The 2022 Christmas tour was the first time they did it live. The first few performances looked pretty rough. They really have it down now.

[@marygraham1959]

How are they doing that? Lots and lots of practice!! Lol.

[@chrispavlich9656]

Yeah, I prefer the Official video because you can see what they are doing way better, plus you don’t hear the crowd. Usually the sound at a lot of their venues isn’t up to snuff.

[@neetgupta1]

You should watch the official video of this one, it has Avi in it rather than Matt and there is a clapping tutorial at the end. Apparently Avi really struggled to learn the clapping choreo. He had to spend more hours than the other learning it! The words of the song are a bit odd: "I was following the pack, all swaddled in their coats With scarves of red tied ’round their throats To keep their little heads from fallin’ in the snow And I turned ’round and there you go And, Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow Red as strawberries in the summertime" Apparently if you interpret it literally it's rather gruesome as it's about a general decapitating his soldiers and tying their heads to their bodies with scarves! However the lead singer of Fleet Foxes who wrote the song said it was actually about the death of childhood friendships, in particular a friend called Michael!

[@Badger77722]

While in a normal official video they lip-synch the words to the song, in this live version they're actually "hand-synching" their movements to a recording of the claps, slaps, etc. - trying to mic them all to actually pick that stuff up would be a real problem (and probably a disaster). So they're singing live, they're moving their hands live, but the hand sounds are pre-recorded. On the tour where they're performing this song, they even had a mess-up where the pre-recording started playing before they were ready, and one of them said something like, "It's the hand of God!"

[@Kimmerkel-k]

That makes so much sense.

[@janetlawson4482]

I couldn’t wait to see your reaction to the routine! I am with you, I would be slapping everyone, having trouble walking and chewing gum😂. The only time, separate from Pentatonix is the movie Love The Coopers, it’s a really good movie, this was fun❤

[@marablemorgan8292]

[@dwfarr]

If it was me, there would be casualties. Recommend their cover of Mad World.

[@thequestionqueens]

😂 casualties!! So true, you and me both 🥰

[@susanscott5060]

Please do Gold next!

[@sonjarussell7332]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/epqckqWtqsmnqsk This is the link to the video of the clapping tutorial. PTX recorded this to coincide with the release of the official video with Avi. As complicated as it looks and sounds with each of them doing something different, it really isn’t all that hard when you break it down! Each of them has only 16 beats/movements to repeat start to finish. But what an effect! It looks like they may have simplified a bit for live performances and changed the ending…but it still packs a punch! Enjoy!

[@thequestionqueens]

I can’t wait to watch this!

[@sonjarussell7332]

[@ptxlvr7150]

The animals heads were about to fall off, think about it, I don't want to ruin this for anyone, but Debbie asked......

[@bethphillips9693]

I would just like to ask you to cut some of your hair and send it to me so I can make a wig. I have like 12 hairs on my head and I'm insanely jealous of your hair!!!!!

[@pamscarr8696]

I do not hear the bass. Where is Avi? Not good without him.

[@philipkudrna5643]

Good Morning! Avi left the group backbone 2017! I hear Matt‘s bass clearly. Maybe your earphones are weak?

[@Sony8773-k5e]

Ich höre Matts Bass nicht nur deutlich ich spüre seinen Bass sogar👍

[@stephanie3230]

I'm a huge Avi fan myself, Matt did a good job.

[@lauriep2018]

Matt had been with PTX for almost half of the bands tenure. I’ve seen him live for it five times…. I can hear him clearly and definitely can live in concert. Maybe it’s your audio… Plus, that comment could have been worded in a way that didn’t make you sound like a jerk…

[@thechomiji]

@@Sony8773-k5e - thanks. Google says "Not only do I hear Matt's bass clearly, I can actually feel his bass." I agree.
