[@Bine80]

I knew you will love it. For me this is pure perfection. The harmonies are crazy good and I love how they made it their own. ❤️ I especially love Avi because people seldom got the pleasure to really hear him sing while he was with PTX. Plus this is LIVE and you can really hear how good they are. I love it so much.

[@QofyReacts]

It’s so awesome

[@chrisabel1833]

Their harmonies here are unreal. It's still early in their careers yet still shows the depth of their talent.

[@QofyReacts]

They’re amazing

[@mariethemagnificent2000]

I love that they did this as a lullaby...at least that it sounds to me. Great reaction!

[@QofyReacts]

It does sound like a lullaby

[@RosheenQuynh]

Which is exactly why it's one of the songs I listen to at night. And on my bass speaker, Avi's literally lulling me to sleep every night with his gorgeous bass voice...

[@berlyn3014]

Great reaction. I love this version of "Silent Night". Avi's part gets to me every time. It's so relaxing and calming. I know pausing isn't ideal, but as long as it keeps the video from getting blocked I don't mind it. It seemed very organic the way you did the stopping here. There were actual things to talk about at that point instead of just stopping to stop. I say if it works, keep doing it this way.

[@QofyReacts]

I really appreciate this comment

This was Avi's arrangement as you can see he is gently conducting...and at the end Scott looks to Avi ......Gives me so many chills....so hauntingly beautiful.

This video was shot in a cathedral in Germany while they were on a European tour. The church you're thinking of from "Can't Hold Us" is the church on the campus of Mount St. Mary's University, in the mountains outside Los Angeles, which is where the entirety of "Can't Hold Us" was filmed. It's also where the A Cappella Academy (founded in 2014 by Avi Kaplan, Ben Bram (PTX long-time arranger/producer) and Rob Dietz (composer/arranger)) is held for 10 days every summer. Kids from 13-18 years old from around the world do video auditions, and those who are chosen spend those 10 days in intensive classes in vocals, performance, theory, composition and arranging, and specialties such as beatboxing and bass singing (which Avi often teaches). Here's an example of just one of the whole school choir performances, done at the end of the 10 days. This is "He Lives in You" from "Lion King 2" from the class of 2019 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKS4nH6rgauHodk

@@Bine80 I saw it once, but can't seem to find it again. It may be buried among the over 8,000 comments for their official video.

[@tamarasmith9060]

I 😍😍😍 their version. It starts as the traditional song with little PTX touches of changing the pace or which note gets held, but then it morphs into a sort of lullaby. ❤

[@QofyReacts]

So true

[@davidbangtson3109]

Such a beautiful rendition of this common song. They did it with such complexion and yet such delicacy. I like your frequent pauses! It allows you to comment when you want to do so.

[@QofyReacts]

I appreciate it David !

[@selinbaltac6843]

My favorite reactor is here again with another amazing PTX reaction!!! I love the way you pointing out every single yet amazing detail, you have really good ears! Love you man, take care!

I’m honoured to be your favourite Selin 🙏🏾 Glad you enjoy it

[@therealhaemony]

I love how you stop and point things out. I've heard this song many times, but I always hear something new based on what you point out. And I love how you're pointing out the dissonances that make this arrangement so crunchy and amazing. Keep on!

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you Haemony

[@risacornette7636]

First to hear this one 😊 I love this acoustic version. The church is the perfect setting for this beautiful song. The harmonies are so tight and majestic. I love Avi’s bass in the arrangement and then he bursts in with his higher register. Mitch and Kirstie sound so angelic and Scott and Kevin supporting are beautiful. I have to say you have a very nice voice as well QoFy 😊

[@QofyReacts]

Aww thanks Risa I appreciate ☺️

[@QofyReacts]

Welcome back to class 😁

[@rmac1042]

Mitch, Scott and Kirstie are known as “The Trio”. Kevin does the chordal extensions-easy for him because he has perfect pitch.

[@QofyReacts]

So true!

[@elainecourteau6231]

Another amazing arrangement! Yes, I agree with you that the trio seems like one singing creature. They breathe together, enunciate every syllable together, end each note together, what a gift. Kevin’s voice is so sweet and angelic, discreet yet an essential part of those refined chords. Avi’s solid and often surprising (note wise) chord bottom. This is what a finely tuned and oiled machine should sound like. And through it all, their love of music shines bright. Love and respect. Great reaction, as usual. 🤗

[@QofyReacts]

Hahah couldn’t agree more thanks Elaine

[@lexymich22]

I think they were born ahead of their time. Shawn from Boyz to Men was the first pentaholic. He was a super pentaholic too. He was one of the judges on the sing off show they won. My point is he said he think they were sent back from the future to make a capella cool again. Ben Fold was also a judge and said that too

[@QofyReacts]

Hahah I hear that Lexy

[@vidsorama2]

I really enjoy your reactions. As far as I'm concerned, please pause as much as you need to in order to get your videos to stay up with no problem to you. I love the way your comments bring attention to things I had not noticed or didn't know about in songs I've heard many, many times. Thanks.

[@QofyReacts]

I appreciate it

[@JensterEx]

I think I've seen somewhere this is in germany. they found the church by accident, loved the acoustic and decided to record something in it.

[@QofyReacts]

That’s amazing

[@ebiographie]

YES!! This is one of my favorite PTX vids of all time. The sound quality is so rich and then there’s that half second of just before Avi and Kevin join in...I swear the delicate notes hanging in the air suspend time and I end up holding my breath in anticipation of the full harmony drop. 💚

[@ebiographie]

Your pausing of this one worked out really well because it was great to hear you reacting and breaking something down, knowing the next second was going to blow your mind even more. Delayed gratification draws out those wonderful moments even more and I am here for it!

[@QofyReacts]

@@ebiographie I appreciate the comments!!

[@jamesensley3906]

This level of pausing is OK with me as long as it works on your end.

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you James

[@scottperil905]

I wish I had an answer for you. I've seen literally hundreds of PTX reactions and 90% are not blocked. Most veteran reactors like you are not blocked. Hope someone comes up with an answer so you can go back to your usual style. You are great in any style and always make me hear things I don't pick up ,making listening more enjoyable

[@QofyReacts]

Hey Scott I really appreciate that

[@sherryhall3635]

Wondaful reaction. You are so detailed -I love it. Yes, this is one of those songs that can be boring - except when PTX applies their special touch.

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you Sherry

[@RosheenQuynh]

The beauty and lullaby-ness is exactly of this song is exactly why it's one of the songs I listen to at night. And on my bass speaker, Avi's literally lulling me to sleep every night with his gorgeous bass voice...

[@justlinsu]

This was Avi's arrangement ....I think it's brilliant...heavenly harmonies... Kirsten sounded so angelic....but...When Avi sings the last part it makes me weep with joy...

[@QofyReacts]

It’s so amazing

[@RosheenQuynh]

WAIT REALLY?! NO WONDER IT'S SO GORGEOUS 😭

[@MrsRdTripp14]

YASSSS. This is my favorite Christmas song they do. I loooove it. Thr acoustics just add something special to it. When I was in choir in high school we always sang one specific song in the hallways at Christmas time because the acoustics were killer. I miss it.

[@QofyReacts]

It’s so cool!

[@jo_ni_kay]

The highlight to me was the counterpoint between Avi and Mitch.

[@QofyReacts]

So awesome

[@Catherine.Catherine]

Hey QoFy 👋! I’m feeling so relaxed now after hearing this. And the pausing technique seems to be working, and I don’t mind it - certainly prefer this than an eternity of being blocked.

[@QofyReacts]

Hey Catherine you’re right it seems to be working and I’m happy that you guys enjoyed it still

[@richtsje9961]

Silent Night never was a favorite song of mine ..... until PTX put their spin on it :) !! It starts like hearing angels singing , and when Kevin and Avi come in ... GOOSEBUMPS , every time again !! It sounds so full , partly due to the acoustic environment . I think you would like " O Come , All Ye Faithful " , it's with a choir and has a African vibe ( Kevin's roots) , and the video is recorded in a church , just like another great Christmas song "Joy To The World " . The pausing doesn't bother me , your comments are such a pleasure to listen / watch to and are so ful of valuable information :) !!

[@QofyReacts]

Ahh thank you I will check them out

[@julyriver8851]

I'm glad you reacted to this. It's always been one of my favourites (if not THE favourite). Yes, the acoustic in churches, most of them at least, is great. Don't worry about pauses, you did your thing in a nice way, not disturbing at all. Let me say how beautiful it is (was...) to hear Avi singing with them. Sweet harmonies, interesting arrangement. PS: sorry, can someone clarify me the correct form.... "to hear him singing [with them]" or "hearing him sing [with them]"?. English isn't my first language and I can't get that right. Sigh...

[@QofyReacts]

Glad you enjoyed it July and I believe is ...beautiful it was “hearing Avi sing .....” the English experts here will correct me haha

[@bradsouthers7476]

The purpose of a reaction video is to react... not for us to just watch someone watch a video. IMHO the reactors who get repeatedly blocked are doing so because they're doing more watching than reacting. Having said that, though, I've also seen very good reactors get so mesmerized by PTX that they forget that they're supposed to be reacting. I often feel bad for reactors who don't get to just listen and enjoy the discovery of new music without interruption. But go ahead and pause, rewind, repeat, react -- that's what you're here for, so don't apologize for it!

[@QofyReacts]

Hey Brad you get comment of the day!!

Most good reactors have paused quite a bit on this one anyway the interpretation is so unique for this song. So much to talk about.

So much !

[@lexymich22]

Don't forget to rewind a few seconds before you start it back bc that helps too.

[@QofyReacts]

Will do

[@kathyastrom1315]

They filmed this while on a promotional press blitz through Europe. I believe this church is in Germany. They were there in the church for other reasons, noticed the perfect acoustics in that side aisle, and decided to film this live performance on the spot.

You always pause at significant points, where something notable has happened whether or not anyone else can hear it - because when you mention it, everyone can hear it. It's lovely hearing someone who can hear all the lines and tidbits added in pointing them out!

Avi sounds like a cello or upright bass in this song. Kevin has the highest (non falsetto) singing voice.

[@QofyReacts]

He does!!

[@s.vidhyardhsingh3881]

When they go from PTX Trio to PTX OFFICIAL phase in this song...... It’s like a big Choir just got in........ Avi’s lush tone is amazing!!!!! Don’t get to listen to him often now a days so his voice has even more impact on my ears 😄😄 And the lead at the end by Avi 🔥🔥🔥 wow!!!!!!! They are really really good when they sing such songs( because I’m not much of a fan of Pop and some other stuff that’s more modern....My bad.........I’m usually considered to have been born in wrong generation, and I should have been born one or two generations before)

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

Sooo, ignore my comments on the previous vid asking for suggestions for preventing blocks as you now have those covered. That'll teach me to watch more uptodate before suggesting lol. Also, I too appreciate good acoustics, it's that beauitful cathedral effect. I grew up in the choir of a church that didn't just have no acoustic amplification it actively deadened the sound, so frustrating to sing in. We had the most amazing operatic tenor (not famous, but he'd sung all over the world) who visited, he played organ for us for about 6 months, even he struggled to get it to sound impressive when he sang, if I found it frustrating as a 15 year old, i can't imagine how he felt. About a year after I left the choir they got a decent sound system put in with mics and speakers, but a few years later they had a priest who didn't believe in using it. Unsurprisingly really, they ended up with no choir at all.

When are people gonna learn? He can't just let the song play, he's gotta fight getting his videos claimed. Also, don't you want to hear what he has to say more than the actual song itself? Seriously, why can't people just allow reactors to *dramatic gasp* REACT?
