FYI - This song was written/published in 1779 by a reformed British slave trader named John Newton.

[@larrywt656]

Man...this one gets me every time. I've literally heard thousands of versions of this song in my life, and this is the best one I've ever heard. Between Kirstie & Kevin's bagpipes drone under Matt's opening solo, Scott's soulful solo, Mitch's solo in his amazing lower register, Kirstie's stunning SOARING solo (with that wonderful vibrato that she has perfected in the last couple of years), and Kevin's icing-on-the-cake surprise at the end, this performance was absolute PERFECTION! This past Sunday (Independence Day here in the states, one of our biggest holidays), they appeared on the annual DC Capitol Fourth TV special and sang an exquisite version of the song Seasons of Love from the Broadway musical Rent. It also features a stunning soaring vocal solo from Kirstie. It's already all over KZbin. I suggest you check it out because it's fantastic!

[@Reckyj]

Love how you call it perfection, I agree. I. AGREE!

[@lindaminor2872]

I beleive I warned you about this one. No matter how many times I hear this song, it gets to me. And yes, continue to eat those words about Scott (LOL!!!) . You were new to PTX. You had no idea.

[@Reckyj]

I was unaware! Lol

[@bill.godwin-austen]

This is one of my all time favorites of theirs. Everyone is absolute perfection in their solos, the harmonies are amazing, the "bagpipe" drone at the opening by Kirstin and Kevin sets the mood perfectly, and Kirstin's verse gives me goosebumps no matter how many times I hear it.

[@mercyangel2630]

I really have enjoyed your reactions to Pentatonix! I've watched alot of reactors, and you have become one of my favorites!! After seeing this reaction, I'd like to recommend Mary Did You Know. It's another beautiful one that will "take you to church!" in a wonderful way!

[@Reckyj]

Super happy that I’m one of your favorites! And thank you for the suggestion.

[@sheilad5321]

There was an interview with PTX where they asked them what their favourite song was from their Christmas album and Kirstie said it had to be Amazing Grace because it was so emtional to do. I think that's their trademark, that you can feel that they've given it their all. With their outstanding talent and their outstanding attitude they are so giving, and we are the beneficiaries.

[@schuhschrank947]

Even though I am not a religious person, Pentatonix' version makes me cry every time I hear it. It is a cover of Chris Tomlins version Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) of 2007. He added the 'new' lyrics. Someone said somewhere: Pentatonix don't do covers, they do upgrades. And this is definetely one of their masterpieces.

[@Reckyj]

Masterpiece indeed!!

[@philipem1000]

I am an atheist but I know church music. One thing that makes PTX as good as it is, they respect every song they cover. They know this song of course, they know its meaning its origin and they know its church music. SO they made it church music to a new level. Best cover ever of this song which is one of my all time favorites.

[@kenkahuna]

I think you might be ready to watch an amazing live performance featuring Avi and Mitch called AHA Singapore.

[@shilohauraable]

Totally Amazing Performance ‼️

[@carolynl.higgins6206]

This is an amazing performance of Pentatonix and Matt shines in his solo and bass.

[@carolscott1686]

Kirsty's vibrato is gorgeous in Shallow. Thanks for being you Recky. You brighten my day.

[@Reckyj]

Ohh that’s so nice to hear. I’m super happy that I can influence you day.

[@steveeverett1736]

@@Reckyj you can hear over the years how Kirstens vibrato has developed over the years, from the PTX cover of Hallelujah to this one, the range and how she sustains the vibrato is even better

[@tundiel]

Aww. I loved how you declared so solemnly that you are a Pentaholic. Bless your emotional heart ❤. As always, a wonderful reaction from you! And yes, as others have suggested, Aha, Singapore, Star Vista. I think you're ready. And a heads up, it's a fanmade video from a camera phone so the audio is a little off. But it's definitely the best live PTX that I've seen. Kevin is off camera, but definitely there. And don't be confused by the choral beginning, it's definitely the right video. And (last And, I swear lol), you won't get copyrighted on this one, so no filter needed, and you don't even need to pause (though I'm pretty sure you will as you're gonna be shell-shocked hahaa).

[@Reckyj]

Hahaha thank you for your kind words! More PTX is coming

[@geraldinepalkovics8036]

You said: “I don’t want to stop every 25 second.” No, you didn’t. You did it in every 10. 🤣🤣 love how emotional you get every time. 😘

Kevin just punches everyone right in the Feelz at the end there.

[@Reckyj]

Hard punch to! Lol

[@ClaireBarn]

I feel like Scott is the anchor. He takes that parts that need more umph than the other silky smooth voices. Not saying he doesn’t do smooth, of course.! He does the fry.

[@shortybarnesyanik]

He’s my favorite. I could listen to him sing all say long!

[@janetfrosst4331]

Aha live at the Star Vista, Singapore. The best example of Avi's lows and Mitch's highs. You won't see Kevin but he is there.

[@carolynl.higgins6206]

This one's about Matt. And he does a phenomenal job with his solo and bass!

[@danielcarter837]

When I heard this the first time I was getting teary eyed when Kirstin did her part, then they drop the Kevin on you at the end and you just fall apart.

[@christiestewart2674]

This Is Most Definitely One of My Favorites of PTX, I Definitely Feel The Spirit in their Version of this song!!!!

[@tajaybarker7184]

U might waa a try imagine by John Lennon it’s awesome and new 90s dance medley

Has been done. Check the playlist! =)

[@booboo5544]

for sure one of the best tearjerker, booboolu loved ur reaction to this one, and another one is imagine. most reactors were doing it during the summer when all the riots, BLM movement, the racism and bad cops was going on that his song brought out the good from PTX it is well done.

[@Reckyj]

Imagine has been done. Check the playlist! 😃

This was lovely. Always gets to me when Kevin sings. Great reaction. Thank you.

[@Reckyj]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@louellamoyer5578]

Thank you! Mitch had wings on his jacket. and the tones Kirstin and Matte sang in the intro. gave the illusion of bagpipes in tribute to the early versions of the Hymn. They always have a trick or two to add to their songs. Absolutely LOVE them! So happy you appreciate PTX and their talent and genius to any song!

[@rebeccamunoz2948]

Great reaction Recky, this song hits hard for sure. 💕💕🎶🎶🦋

[@Joodster]

Amazing Grace was one of the songs at my father's funeral in 1991. I haven't been able to listen to that song since. But I listened to PTX do the song, and even though it tore me up, it also made me feel better. This is such a beautiful rendition.

[@colleenstapleton2120]

[@Reckyj]

Will do! Thank you for your suggestions

Pentatonix recently performed Seasons of Love (from the musical Rent) for this year's A Capitol Fourth special on PBS. Please react. Kirsten has one of the leads and gets to show off her range. Plus there is actually a choir to back them up. 🤗

One of their best songs that is designed to inspire us. Loved every second of it.

[@lorilapid1209]

It doesn't matter how many times l watch this, I get so emotional and can't stop the tears. They made this song so beautiful.

[@packerkats7578]

Whew. Kirstie slays me with her solo on this one. I tear up every single time.

[@ritathomas5167]

"God damn it's so good! I'm still getting a church feeling..." Probably the most amusing quote used to describe this song! And you would look great in an all-white suit. Just don't forget the feathery angel wings on the back of the jacket - like Mitch! And we knew you would eat your words about Scott - no reason to get excited over that. Before I heard this version of Amazing Grace, I would have been hard-pressed to pick my favorite Pentatonix song. Now - it is definitely this one. I am a senior citizen, and have already told my family that whenever my time comes to pass from this world, I want this video played at my funeral. There won't be a dry eye in the house! Recky, you should also react to Home Free's version of "How Great Thou Art". Another misty-eyed song for sure! Great reaction! Thank You!!

[@Reckyj]

Thank you for the suggestions! More home free is on the list!

[@davidpratt2007]

And if you have not already do so, listen to the song without pauses ..it's impact is magnified. That Kevin tag at the is killer!

This is a fantastic song done by Ptx. I played this at my rats funeral and it fit perfectly. They kill every song they do. I haven't heard one I did not like yet. Great reaction too. I get goosebumps and it hits the feels every time I listen to this song....this is the one I want played at my funeral.❤❤

[@Reckyj]

One of the best!

[@richardwilson5560]

LOL, Glad you put the filter on so you did not have to pause it. Don't worry, one reactor had studied up on the group and was amazed at the base being the lead on this song, and how high his voice was. (Mistook Kevin for Matt) I kinda like the foo-pas!

[@Reckyj]

Hard to be perfect when facing greatness. 😄

[@deennaemilio]

It is not about slavery. It is about the chains of sin and the grace of God ransoming you by His grace

[@jeangoodwin1856]

Recky, the filter does work fine but there is another option. Check out the reactor (It’s me, Barry) because he plays the video twice. Once straight through without talking (the reaction - facial expressions) and then another (the review) where he makes his comments. Just a thought. ****Thanks for this fantastic reaction because it is one of my favorites. I’m a Mitch fan and I adore him but his lower register just makes me happy! Please keep the PTX coming💕

[@Reckyj]

I don’t get it. How does that work? So he record the song? And then..? 🥴😄

[@Reckyj]

[@philipem1000]

music is SUPPOSED to make you feel!! One thing that makes PTX so good is that they totally respect the songs they cover. They know this song and they delivered it in a way that respects its origins. Yes it's church music. They know how to do that.

[@mariondiemert430]

No one has done Amazing Grace like PTX!

[@kayecastleman6353]

I think it's their naked voices, virtually without embellishments, and each so uniquely distinct from another that we can identify who is doing what at any moment, that makes their music so poignant, so personal, and so moving. This song gets me, too. Btw, that dissonant droning sound that Kirstie (and Kevin?) is doing at the beginning, is a take-off on the bagpipes, which often play this song at funerals. The only reactor I've heard who identified it on first hearing was of Scottish heritage, so no shade on the rest of us, just another clever PTX twist. Great call on Kirstie's vibrato, beautifully appropriate here. And... did you notice Mitch's 'wings'?

[@Reckyj]

I noticed Mitch Mitch wings. I got really emotional at one point.

[@janegreene2838]

It's about slavery to sin and how sweet salvation is to save a person from the death penalty of sin. It's not about American history of slavery.

[@helenabdulah7263]

Small correction...British slave ship captain who became a priest. There is a whole movie about it!

[@df5199]

I didn’t think it was possible, but I think Kirstin may have topped this performance with The 4th of July’s Seasons of Love.

[@trishsmith593]

I agree. She KILLED that July 4th performance!!

[@mosaiceyes2020]

Hi Recky I love it when the song turns you into an emotional mess. Your wife is lucky to have a man with such a sweet, heart. Thanks for turning the volume up on the video. If you don't mind it still could be increased. You see, no need to worry it's too loud on our side of the computer. It won't be because we are able to adjust the volume here. At this point, my volume is as high as it can be and I'm still having problems hearing it due to being hard of hearing. Hope you don't mind. Thanks!
