[@jlelliotton]

There is so much raw emotion in this upgrade from PTX. When Matt started his solo I had shivers.

[@LeskeyC001]

Still brings me to tears after listening to it a number of times!

[@barbk2324]

It makes me cry every time.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Agreed!

[@ambergarner8471]

Yes! Matt's solo on this brought me to tears. His voice is like a warm blanket. He has really stood out to me lately, with this and Kiss from a Rose. Well done sir!

[@elainedavis9053]

This song; this arrangement; these voices; speak directly to my spirit. Thank you for this reaction - Just Awesome!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I'm glad you enjoyed it 😁👍

[@stacyl7783]

This is stunning. I think PTX has upgraded themselves!❤❤❤❤❤

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

It's an amazing cover for sure 😁

[@victorluke5816]

Each time anyone does their solo, it must be great for them to know that they have the world's best backup singers next to them.

[@cosmicdrift8311]

I love this take.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Right?! That's so incredibly important for any a cappella group especially.

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

I've said it before and I'll say it again - this is the best version ever of my absolute favorite Christmas song of all time, sung by the most incredible voices of our time. Pentatonix did the impossible and knocked Celine Dion out of the top spot as my favorite version of this song (still love you, Celine!!)!!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😁

[@russellfisher2853]

Wow, I love Celine, but I was just thinking about that to. Kirstie's got such a beautiful strong voice.

[@dawnreitenbach7111]

This to me by far is their most powerful. Also I love their version of O Come All Ye Faithful. It is so hard to pick a favorite though. Great reaction!

[@larryross9492]

Two arrangements couldn't be more different, yet wonderful. Shows their versatility.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

O Come All Ye Faithful is a good one! Thanks for watching 😁

[@ishort0967]

Wonderful reaction..Don’t know if it’s been suggested..But their cover of Kiss From a Rose is 💯🔥…and another opportunity for Matt to flex his soulful vocals☺️

[@bfly5990]

Yes

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I intend to react to that one 😊👍 Love that song!

[@lauriep2018]

This whole arrangement is frankly, overwhelming 😂. Every time I listen to it, I find something else I didn’t hear the time before. My favorite background part is when Matt starts his solo and sings “Fall on your knees” and the Kirstin and Mitch do some wonderful word painting with “fall all all” “fall all all” and then drop down lower and sing it again…. You know- the words actually falling. Genius

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Yes! That's a great moment in the song 🎵

[@marcgarrett4401]

Two consecutive eight beat belts from Kirsten well into her high range. Amazing.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Agreed 👍

[@barbk2324]

The video is exquisite! Matt took us the church and Kirstie took us to heaven. I wanted to say Kirstie BREATHE!! I love your reaction too!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Haha, right?! So much air coming out of her lungs in this one 🎵

[@jeffgoldman1479]

Jeff, I really love your in-depth reactions. Matt's solo was wonderous, BUT!! Kirstie's powerful belt near and at the end brought immediate tears to my eyes. They are all incredible performers. Maybe it's just me, but I never (Well, let's say hardly ever) think Kirstie gets enough credit for her contribution. There are times when she hits a note in vibrato that makes me stand up and walk around the room yelling "OH, OH, OH" And she gets better with age. Thank you , Jeff for your in put.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I appreciate your comment and compliments 😁👍Yes, they have only gotten better as time progresses!

[@russellfisher2853]

Absolutely, Her beautiful voice, and she's a powerhouse.

[@ronaldschweitzer1110]

Perfection to me.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😁

[@deborahdoesscrap]

This song really shows the growth of PTX. There voices have matured and they have come into their own.

[@marthalikens482]

I have already listened to this rendition of Oh Holy Night by PTX at least 100x's just for the spiritual aspect of it! PTX has been touched by Angels!!

[@billgrafflin9013]

During your 3rd "Wow", I said out loud -- "You ain't heard nothing yet".

[@lauriep2018]

😂😂😂😂😂 SAME!!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😂😂 Fair statement!

[@TeapotNinja]

"I was hoping she'd go up just a little." Wait for it... 🤣 Stunning arrangement.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😂😂👍

[@sheriraemalfroid-patterson2935]

Every Christian song they bring to life is so much better than the last; do they even know the depths this reaches into the listeners soul? They all did great, but Scott and Matt still have me floored- Mitch is always perfection and Kirstie’s last note is still circling somewhere out in space…❤Their best yet!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Yes! All are incredible vocalists 😊

[@marablemorgan8292]

Never think you know what to expect with PTX!!!

[@marilyncernik4128]

This song couldn’t be done better by anyone❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😊👍

[@celiachristman104]

Matt's solo gives me chills. Great break down and reaction. When I see your reactions you always point out things I've missed. Thank you for that! When I saw you had reacted to this song, which I think is the best one they've done for a while, I smiled to myself, knowing how much you would appreciate it. And...guess what? I was right! You did appreciate it a lot!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

❤️😊 And I really appreciate YOU for taking the time to watch and comment on these videos. Thank you!

[@davidbangtson3109]

This is nothing if not a new instant classic version of this song. So innovative and gorgeously done.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😊👍

[@dejns6945]

We their fans are..... Pentaholics! 😊

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😊👍

[@2436golden]

I wouldn't change a single thing. it is absolute perfection as is.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😊👍

[@AngelEyezz002]

I really love how solid Scotts bass is during Matts solo.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Nice catch! There were so many amazing things happening in this music video. It was hard to point out everything.

[@smithpauld1501]

It’s easy to miss Scott’s bass line when Matt’s singing lead. It’s full and rich. But when Matt drops back to bass, there’s another level of depth. Still, Scott carries a great low baritone.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Nice catch! I think I heard it, but just didn't comment on it with all the other wonderful sounds happening.

[@Karen-Campos]

From the film makers pov, the choice of white outfits, white lights on a black background was emanating subliminal connection to the angels singing on a dark star filled night to the shepards. Equally stunning and deeply meaningful. I appreciated the way they seamlessly switched between vocalists! Great reaction Jeffrey!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Thanks Karen! It's good to see you again 😊👍

[@pjb3583]

This is just one Wow after another, splendor and glory were the perfect words to use. Thanks for continuing with Pentatonix. Peace …

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Thanks for your viewership! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊

[@neutralman9124]

Matt's astonishing here. His best vocals easily. Incredible.

[@donnastohr]

I've watched your reaction to Kevin's Fifth many times. Are you aware that the Kevin and Matt team have done Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy Reimagined? Equally amazing! This version of Oh Holy Night is beautiful. An interesting contrast in style is offered in Pure Imagination/Christmas Time is Here. It's like a warm hug. These 5 are so talented and the arrangements are fire.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

That's very awesome! I have a reaction of their Mashup coming soon 👍🎵

[@debrawalkermeyer9109]

This is a Masterpiece from Pentatonix. All 5 Shined individually and together they created a stunning song. The best version I have ever heard.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I'm glad you really enjoyed it 😊👍I agree, it's a beautiful piece!

[@user-ti5ss2mi9x]

So Beautiful! Loved it!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I'm glad 😊👍

[@ajonteampanalo]

PTX🔥🤘

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

🙂👍

[@terriepurkey708]

I love Mitch and Scott's voices together (reminds me of Superfruit!!!) And I just love Matt's voice....so warm and rich and such a contrast to Scott and Mitch; lots of emotion in this section! - then Mitch - I love this lower register and he doesn't use it much but it sounds excellent - then Kirstie - sheesh, what can you say?! The other thing I noticed in this song is how seamlessly the lead changes and overlaps and flows like water.....just stunning.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

There's so many great parts 😊👍

[@Gwennedd]

Wonderful reaction! I'm so glad you reacted to this superb rendition of an already awesome hymn. They really put their heart and soul into this and I love seeing Matt get such a key part in this...Kirstie as well. I'm not sure, but have you reacted to their version of Seal's Kiss From A Rose? There's an incredible Vevo live studio rendition that is simply insane....you gotta check it out!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Thank you for watching 😊 I intend to watch their version of "Kiss From a Rose". I love that song!

[@Gwennedd]

@@JeffreyHackReacts, I'm really looking forward to that!

[@vidsorama2]

Thank you for reacting to this beautiful Pentatonix video. They are incredible.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@My2ndnephew]

I appreciate your analysis. I also appreciated when you would stop the video and tell us what you expected, start the video again and be completely surprised with their interpretation vs your expectation. They do that well.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Haha, right? That doesn't happen very often when I react, to be honest. So it was nice to get surprised by this onr!

[@madenabyss6981]

They upgraded their upgrade this is so stunning ❤

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😂 That's a great and ironically funny way to put it!

[@beckiramsey9561]

This is awesome cover of the song!! Beautiful!❤❤ Thanks Jeffrey!!👍👍

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Becki 😊👍

[@melissacoviello2886]

Hmmmm this arrangement is everything. You can’t even finish one wow…before you get another wow moment!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Haha, right?! 😂 Very true!

[@marablemorgan8292]

Thank you...

[@finnsmom773]

This was stunning and I love the words.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Yes! 😊👍

[@ellencuerva7966]

Really enjoyed your comments and analysis. Thanks

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Happy you enjoyed the video 😊👍

[@shilohauraable]

Isn't this just AWESOME! They weave between leads to background so fluidly! Amazing! 💕

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😊👍

[@vanessa4u4evr]

As Tina Turner would say, 'they're simply the best'. ❤

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

A phenomenal a cappella group indeed 😊

[@kathrynryan5863]

I love the emotion and the wall of sound that is left hanging twice in this song. Have you watched the prayer?

[@davephillips7209]

with ya....wow

[@marablemorgan8292]

Surprise! PTX is always full of them...

[@Fairplayer43]

Thank you señor!❤😊

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

It's good to hear from you! Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@marablemorgan8292]

⚡⚡⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@amyed3415]

Perfection. You should definitely check out Kiss From A Rose as well.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I plan on doing so 😊👍

[@mityakiselev]

Yo m8 if you like really cool vocals you might enjoy reacting to "Jinjer - Pisces (live session)". It's a Ukrainian band whose female lead singer has the voice of an absolute angel 😍

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I appreciate your suggestion 👍

[@mityakiselev]

and thus the countdown began

[@cesaralejandro7725]

Can you react to the music video creeping in my soul by cryoshell?

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I appreciate the suggestion!

[@stevesuarez1903]

They can do no wrong.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

👍🎵

[@sparkers70]

Love this cover, enjoyed your reaction except for pausing 3 times in the last two measures of the song. 😶

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I'm happy you enjoyed my reaction. In regards to my pausing, my reaction is my reaction in that present time. Hope you enjoyed the video otherwise 😊

[@Kateresa42]

I’m enjoying your reaction and analysis, but the compression or whatever odd thing is happening on the audio of what you’re reacting to is really noticeable to me. Is that for copyright issues? If it doesn’t bother anyone else, I won’t mention it again.

[@gretchenoliver3388]

I like your reactions, but you stop so much I listen to the videos several times before I catch yours so the flow of the music is in my head.

[@Rkbmomma]

The intro felt disjointed. Enjoyed Matt's solo.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😊👍
