One of the reasons I love your reactions so much is cause you can SANG and when you mimic the sounds/notes, it’s so spot on I could cry!!! Keep up the amazing work!🙏🏼

[@justinrentfrow1117]

Scott and Kevin have both said this was the most technically challenging arrangement the group has ever done. I smell another Grammy.

[@lynn2574]

Mitch’s control between his chest and head voice is phenomenal. IMHO this is the best vocal I’ve heard from both Scott and Mitch since I started listening 10 years ago. This is special. Grammy worthy.

[@Lupin788]

The precise vocal control of all 5 of them in this performance is impeccable. I hope this performance and arrangement are both submitted to the Grammy committee when the eligibility period comes up next year. The songs from last year's Christmas album and this year's original album are eligible for the upcoming Grammy nominations.

[@lynn2574]

@@Lupin788 Ben Bran posted the songs/albums that were submitted for nomination this year. 🤞

[@Lupin788]

@@lynn2574 I saw that! It was great to see them submit entries to various categories. I think Amazing Grace has a really good shot for nominations in arrangement and contemporary Christian performance.

[@marymichele340]

This is perfection. Mitch was meant to sing this song. It doesn’t take us to church; it takes us to God. I have listened to this several, several times. I agree. They make a song theirs. Perfection!

[@bridgethaines7127]

There is such a GENTLE angelic quality to Mitch's voice in this I swear he had an angel stuck in his throat. And Scott's Italian opera voice is BUTTER. Kirstie has become the queen of effortless power.

[@ginawhitfield6797]

You are correct Brad. Best arrangement. This is Grammy worthy

[@yvonneclaes5208]

How can you not comment on the TONE of Scott AND his Italian? Don't get me wrong, Mitch and the rest were great, but Scott...he sounded like a classical singer here. His TONE!!!

[@cyndianderson7056]

Scott literally gave me goosebumps. This thrilled me to death.

[@susanscott5060]

I agree. We don’t often get to hear his beautiful baritone range. It’s so full and smooth!

[@Erin49694]

i’m sensing a grammy for this one…🤞

[@classiccj2569]

Yes pleeasse

[@scottsaunder702]

grammy number 4

[@jurassicpark546]

That was angelic. Pentatonix never disappoints.

[@G-grandma_Army]

Kevin and Matt’s contribution to this song can’t be overlooked. All together this is a true masterpiece. I’m crying as I type and I think I’ve heard this at least 20 times so far! Has to be an Emmy!

[@wallen308]

I think Matt is the quiet achiever in this one. His rich, resonant bass really underpins this piece beautifully. Everyone was brilliant in this. Stunning Grammy worthy performance.

[@Felipe_Evans]

Mitch is another world

[@dtrix10kc]

This is literally otherworldly. Mitch's voice soared to Heaven with the angels and Scott's lower range was ridiculous and insane. Kirstie's belting was the cherry on top. Absolutely magical and gorgeous.

[@karlsmith5272]

Grammy worthy. Just when I think they can't surprise me any more, BANG!! They do something like this 😂

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

This is definitely the best arrangement and performance they have EVER done. Yes, more than Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, Imagine, Amazing Grace, etc. I was speechless and breathless the first time I heard it. (I don't count hearing it on AGT as my first time hearing it.) My second favorite on this album is My Heart With You. It will have you swimming in emotions!

[@TheInkdN3rd]

I echo EVERYONE'S comments, ten fold lol but can we PUH-LEASE take a second to give my guy Matt some love on this one? I was so mesmerized by the way the trio was taking us to chuch (yes....CHUCH, lol) & switching off the duets between all 3, & hearing the beautiful 5 part harmonies & of course KO's PERFECT percussion the first half dozen times I watched/listened .....that I didn't realize how LOW Matt was actually going & SUSTAINING the bassline until I got in my car. Bruh. I honestly think that might be his lowest note yet. My bum was vibrating for real on this one. Caught me off guard driving down the road🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 All jokes aside tho, kudos to the whole group. I most definitely smell a Grammy here!!!! Fingers crossed! Great reaction btw!!

[@thechomiji]

Matt's vocal progress is fantastic. Those lows he was hitting, beautiful and velvety, and delicious!

[@mamajenkins1981]

Yessss, I’m actually playing this reaction through the Beats speakers in my car and Matt is making the whole car vibrate 🥰🥰

[@TheInkdN3rd]

@@mamajenkins1981 Yaaaaaassss!!!!

[@thatsroughbuddy-]

100% agree with you, this is DEFINITELY one of their best and smartest arrangements they've ever done. Especially that bridge section with Scott and Kirstin. That part in my opinion is the best thing they've ever created, period.

[@debbierhodes4479]

This is absolutely gorgeous! They all did awesome. Mitch sounded like an angel.

[@classiccj2569]

Ah, yes, such a gorgeous voice

[@jenjenjen2222]

I’ll say, my favorite progression from them is Little Drummer Boy, Hallelujah, Amazing Grace, The Prayer. Each release of these songs has had me more blown away with each song. I am a HUGE Céline Dion fan. HUGE! But this version of The Prayer, WOW! 🤯🥰

[@carriekovach797]

Just WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! 😇😇😇 How do they keep shocking me after all of these years? Bravo PTX 👏👏

[@shortybarnesyanik]

It was this time last year when they put out Amazing Grace!! Nov. 5th Great reaction!! I can’t stop listening to this one! I love it! Mitch, Scott and Kirstie hit a grand slam on this one!! Of course Kevin and Matt did their thing as well! My new favorite PTX song!

[@kayelynpenelopelong5167]

Absolutely Gorgeous! I predict a Grammy! Evergreen has to be the #1 Christmas Album of "2021" Kirstie is Stunning and Mitch is Angelic. Scott singing Italian is Solid Gold.. Kevin & Matt seam Flawless. I will be listening to "The Prayer" all Holiday Season. Thank You, Your reactions are always lots of fun & enjoyable.

[@danielcarter837]

I think I have been.... Mitch Slapped Scott Shocked (thank you Fleetstreet) Kirstie Clapped KO'd by KO Mesmerized by Matt All at once. I wonder if only Pentaholics can live through this since we have been exposed more beauty than the average person. This song should come with a warning. This might destroy people that haven't been exposed to Pentatonix before.

[@scottperil905]

Great reaction!! did not think they could top Amazing Grace but they did.

[@Karen-Campos]

THE arrangement! Absolutely stunning work from every single member! Grammy #4 is what we just heard! Andre & Celine will be proud! Tho I favor Celine’s duet withJosh Groban! THIS is now my favorite. Mitch soaring & Scott’s Italian!

[@leighbesstoad]

Since I first heard this right after it came out, I was reminded of what Sara Bareilles told them after Dog Days Are Over: " What we have here is a group of young people who can become so much more". This is the so much more. They are now mature artists, in absolute total control of their instruments and able to handle even more complex harmonies than before. And remember when Sean said "PTX you sound so big". This is PTX at their biggest. It's almost like the judges 10 years ago could see this coming. And I can't wait to see where they grow and go from here. I think we're only just beginning. Which may be truly amazing as spectacular as they've been til now.

[@bartonbagnes4605]

Definitely a great song, and as always Pentatonix killed it.

[@Dan-B]

Scott singing Italian? In his lower register? Get the sand bags, my basement is flooded.

[@jeangoodwin1856]

I agree with you Brad that this was hauntingly beautiful. I think this song is THE BEST one they have ever arranged and sang. Mitch’s voice was definitely fitting for The Prayer but his solos with Scott and Kirstin were beyond amazing. I love this song, love your reaction, and will continue to listen to it over and over again 💕💕

OMG! Is often over-used... but in this case.... Oh, My GOD! seems totally appropriate! Enough said.

Yes, Pentatonix you have taken us to a place where we feel safe…and utterly blown away with your amazing talents. You have all brought your best “A” game for sure ❤️

[@jenchem42]

I loved this reaction. As a songwriter, you have the ability to really understand the complexities of the arrangement, and that's unusual among reactors! Subbed!!

[@SpectrumMommyAmylee]

This song definitely ranked in my top 5 from them! My #1 spng I loved they did a while ago Mary did you know! Id love to hear an updated version of it with Matt instead of Avi.

Lord Have Mercy! EPIC! I love this song. Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion and Josh Grobin, Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman ----- My God, how can anyone compete with any of these???? Well here we go ----This is the most emotionally charaged performance of this song I have ever seen/watched/witnessed. OMG ... This is IMO the most gorgeous performance of this amazing song that I have ever heard.

You will love the entire Evergreen album. I Saw Three Ships, a song I never really liked is now one of my favorites. The arrangement is phenomenal. Can't wait for your reaction to all of them as with anything PTX related.

Scott doesn't have a classical voice but his Italian pronunciation was spot on and so beautiful. Mitch's voice was made for this song. So angelic.

Definitely Grammy worthy! Thank You Brad for reviewing The Prayer! After seeing this on AGT finale was hoping this would be a duet for Mitch and Scott and PTX did not disappoint- wonderful arrangement and the voices all are amazing, stellar and outstanding. Please review the album my 2nd favorite is My Heart With You

When I found out they were doing "The Prayer" I was so excited. It is one of my favorite songs. I have heard Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli and then Celine and Josh Groban sang it and I loved them both. I have a new favorite version now. This was AMAZING!! I listen to all the reactions not only to see what their opinions are but also just to hear it over and over. It is beautiful.

[@LeskeyC001]

Possibly the best piece of music I have ever listened to. Bravissimo! Are you listening Grammy academy?

[@edsartistry]

If you were only listening to this , you would think it was Botticelli and Celine singing this. Scott sounds so much like Botticelli, it's INSANE! PTX is really great at building up to a maximum crescendo and then dropping you back down to earth and doing it over again. That is what makes their music so EPIC !

[@cindychurch925]

This has to be the best arrangement of this song ever. Such feeling. Their harmony. Every single person in this group is a gift from God. My goose bumps have goose bumps

[@Notnowdeleteaccount]

Loved your reaction and you are so right, it is like hearing this song for the first time. Very moving, so angelic❤

[@davidthieman8020]

The Prayer is amazing, but Mitch and Scott are the two main Pentatonix that steal the show with their voices. Kirstin, Kevin, Matt do a brilliant of blending with their voices to make something different and special when all of them come together in the song.

[@carolynl.higgins6206]

Kirstin is right there with Mitch and Scott. She pierced through with brilliance (more than just blending) -- gave me chills, all three -- and then the beautiful bridges, walls of sound, and artfully placed percussion and bass by Matt and Kevin. Exquisite and emotional!

[@jeaneskridge8075]

As I watch your reaction and enjoy the beautiful video once again (I've watched it over and over), I still get a wonderful warm feeling. To me, when the light starts shining down on them, it gives me the idea that the Spirit of God is shining down to let them know He hears our prayers. Beautiful.
