This song takes me back to midnight Mass for Cmas as a kid at our convent with my grandma, she passed away before I got married, despite a September wedding, our musician did this song acoustically in her memory

[@Blue-rl5dp]

Everybody acts like Mitch's part in the Singapore "A ha" was a good example but I'll take this one any day. When he belts out "the great I Am" and holds that note for 12 beats, THAT is epic Mitch!

[@larrygranbois4164]

Agreed!

[@davidphillips4476]

100% agree, that note here has so much power!

[@bradrozelle3999]

You might feel different if you were at that live show, instead of hearing it through a cellphone mic....imo

[@Blue-rl5dp]

@@bradrozelle3999 That could be, but in the Singapore show he was very frenetic and hyper. (I understand he was tired so drank 2 energy drinks, and they worked!) I just like the clear carrying tone of his voice when he's not trying to please everyone by reaching the high notes. There is such a nice tone to his voice in it's normal range.

[@janetgeesen1216]

That part brings tears to me eyes every time!

An incredibly beautiful song along with their phenomenal talent. I always enjoy your reactions to ptx. Your expressions of your amazement of their vocal ability, talent, skill, and inner beauty as individuals is so uplifting and impressive. Thank you again!

[@adancer3592]

I've come to the conclusion why Acapella moves our emotions like it does . While instruments can bring our emotions out in profound ways We are hardwired to respond to the human voice like nothing else can

[@vickiroman189]

So true. To my ears, it's the purest music there is.

[@Kimmerkel-k]

I have often thought this myself.

[@TheInkdN3rd]

KO. That "man" is quite literally not of this world. His purity in both spirit & voice are so GENUINE he authentically does justice. That is why he is so strategically placed where he is THAT guy. He, whether beatboxing, slaying Beyonce, giving us goosies with his angelic tenor, or arranging the body/atmospheric percussion, writing or arranging, he contributes that X factor. They choose to place his special voice in those places on the songs that grab our guts. That said.....PLEASE Sir Nick....you said the word a handful of times at the beginning.....Imagine is the song you need. Trust me. Blessings!

[@jeantonelle]

This is the one that got me hooked on PTX. It was the first video of them I'd ever seen and I was just done for after it. Also always one of my favorites. Just LOVE it.

[@AmandaSmith-zr8mn]

Could literally see the video in my head as you were watching haha no worries!

[@chrisgirone]

SG1 is the name of a military unit in the television show called Stargate. It is comprised of Colonel Jack O'Neill, Cpt. Samantha Carter, dr. Daniel Jackson, and teal'c

[@NilZed1]

KO's voice is so light and normal human sounding, but somehow better than the rest of us even as 'small' as it is compared to the other 4 belters. and pentaholics know what the videos are about. for their big songs, we don't need it. We ARE watching your we really are. (and we like you, we really like you!)

Voices of angels! Mitch’s slap when he sings, “I AM”. Amazing

[@mimiloveee9]

When I told you I cried 5 times at their concert fam this was one of them‼️😭 fxcking mind blowing I bawled ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@packerkats7578]

I believe it’s absolutely a conscious decision when and how they unleash Kevin’s voice. TBH, I think that’s true of all of them. One of the things I love most about this group is the lack of ego. Their primary objective is who’s voice serves the music/song/lyric the best. Love them so so much. 🥰

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Exactly. Hearing Kevin in the bts of Evergreen saying "I don't think this song should have beatboxing, just sleigh bells", as the beatboxer of the band, is just them in a nutshell. So impressive!

[@leslienoel6909]

This is exactly what makes them so amazing. Their first objective is to make great music. Showing off is just a byproduct.

[@thechomiji]

Did you notice that they framed Kirstin with the light most of the time? That was very deliberate. Their video-making is often simple, but also often surprisingly sophisticated.

[@loricharlonne2167]

I remember the first time I heard this song, I must’ve said, “Oh my God” dozens upon dozens of times…just blown away from the very first note to the last note. Every single one of them was spot on…absolute perfection 🎶🌈🙏❤️🌹

Thx Nick 😎

my favorite version of this song of all time!!

[@ronaldschweitzer1110]

I feel you. Certainly one of their greatest accomplishments. It never gets old for me.

[@violetf.2025]

For sure they gave Kevin the last part 🤩🤪, same with Amazing Grace - his voice is so sweet and soft and lovely ❤️. That's the cherry on the cream cake 🥰🥳

[@MelaniePoparad]

I absolutely adore when Scott and Avi sing lead vocals in a close duet. Their voices sound so utterly amazing together. Drummer boy highlights this as well. I think they are very aware of how and where they use Kevin’s singing voice. His main skill set (beatboxing) is so essential and not easily covered by the others if he sings. And his voice really is so pure, it is like a beautiful treat when he sings. Gotta keep it back for the big moments for maximum impact. Also, I was raised in an industrial area.. my dad was both a pipe fitter and a truck driver. And then after i grad, i was an engineer at the steel mill.. foul language is not new to me and sometimes those words are the only way to get across the magnitude of your feelings or describe what you are experiencing. I assumed the video wasn’t up because of copyright... we’ve all seen it a thousand times. We know the video. ;)

[@helenachevallier128]

Great reaction! And don't worry about the missing video, like you said, we've seen it before, I'm probably at least 250 of those views. I absolutely love this song, and especially their version. But the one that Home Free does sure is awesome too. ❤️

Can a guy breathe- Mitch doesn't seem to need to (same can be said in their version of "Carol of the Bells")!! LOVE this song by them. Each one adds so much to the incredible swelling majesty of this rendition. We've seen the video, can play it back as we listen. Love your reaction!!

[@loribirdsong8733]

I love this version. It’s absolutely stunning in every possible way and I feel like they are talking to Mary like she’s there! If you haven’t seen Mitch’s cover of Billie E’s ‘Your Power’….there are no words. He could be singing in an alien language and I’d loop it for the day.

Thank you for reacting to this beautiful Pentatonix performance. To be honest, I didn't even notice that the video was missing until I started reading the comments. lol. I knew exactly what you were seeing while reacting because I've watched it so many times. I love it every time.

[@tersommers]

I knew exactly what was going on in the video by listening to the song. No worries! While I love to see these gorgeous people whenever I can, I have watched the video so many times, I memorized it! Thank you for appreciating these people and their talent. I feel Kevin is given solos in most of the hard hitting, meaningful songs. Especially the ones that have a Christian attachment. Kevin is very religious, and I think they know the impact to him and the audience whenever he takes over.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Yes exactly. Especially when he was new to singing, but also now, his voice can have such a pure and innocent, almost childlike quality. It hits you in the emotions instantly, especially with how they place it in those epic or poignant songs. And I agree that they do realize the meaning of having Kevin singing in the more religious songs since he feels it. Same with how I loved that Matt & Kevin opened and ended it in Amazing grace.

[@aprilanderson6432]

Soo ❤️ this song; the sentiment and the angel voices!! Very beautiful and mesmerizing. Also... another video with a blond Kirsten... LA LA LATCH

[@jehuxtable]

It's cool. We have seen it enough to know what's happening.

[@lostrmntic]

Early Kevin solos were a different breed. Now he can hold his own with the rest but in the early few years of Pentatonix, bringing out Kevin felt different. He was training with Avi to learn how to sing and his voice sounded very innocent and pure. It felt like when they bring out little Timmy to sing the national anthem at a game and you can tell he's going to be amazing if he keeps at it. But then you realize that this little Timmy is being raised by unicorns... and they might be raising a monster.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

My favorite of all their Christmas songs! ("O Come All Ye Faithful" is a close second). Not only a beautiful rendition with the superb harmonies, but the cinematography in this is outstanding. Did you notice that in the second half of the video, they often showed Kirstie framed by the opening of the cave with the light behind her looking similar to the classic portrayal of Mary/The Madonna with a halo/aura? Absolutely perfect visual metaphor.

[@RubyGB]

Don't need to see this video to enjoy your reaction, we're all very familiar with this performance.

[@melissiasmith9826]

Just a little info. This was filmed in the batcave.

[@foxphilesg1fan454]

Thank you, thank you! I love this video so much and I just *knew* your reaction would be epic. I'm SG1Fan, by the way, aka FoxPhile aka Heidi. I think this is perhaps the greatest example of just how well PTX arranges their voices to present a song at its absolute best. How they each get solos, but then the blending of Scott and Avi - not the most common - followed by the blending of Kirsten and Mitch which is just angelic. Then Kevin comes in with that heavenly voice that is just beyond perfect for some of the most profound verses in the song. Add in the amazing sections where they all blend together - either in a round that leads to that powerful crescendo or the very soft and beautiful ending. To say nothing of the Mitch slap on “the Great I AM!” Thank you again for this reaction. It was all I hoped it would be.

[@jensthiel3844]

I’m the only one who think that Kirstin looks like Maria herself? Especially in the takes where the light in the back is flooding around her like a aura? Love that video love your reactions

It's definitely deliberate - in the particularly epic songs, Kevin comes in as the last (if not always final) soloist, and after the wall of sound. It's the same in Imagine and Amazing Grace, for instance.

Filmed in Bronson Cave in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. It was the entrance to the Batcave in the TV show. Cave acoustics are so resonant. In another cave in St Paul, MN Chris Rupp was joined by Home Free for a different Xmas song, What Child is This. That is a rare one with both Chris and Chance.
