Singer/Songwriter reacts to PENTATONIX - THE PRAYER (MUSIC VIDEO) - FOR THE FIRST TIME!

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!🙏🏼

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.

[@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.

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

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!

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!

[@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.

[@Erin49694]

i’m sensing a grammy for this one…🤞

[@classiccj2569]

Yes pleeasse

[@scottsaunder702]

grammy number 4

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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! 🤯🥰

[@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!

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.

[@fuionochingsung5091]

That was the Mitchslap of Mitchslaps. Holy crap.

[@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.

[@thelivingmiracle]

[@suzannehorne4115]

[@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.

[@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!

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!
