Lol I like the way avi looks at her. He's so encouraging and nice. And genuine as I've said millions of times

[@aamu3]

he's so happy!!! xD

[@blancodraco]

If memory serves, he loves teaching.

[@pentafruitgrassi4250]

I think he was making her a little nervous 😂😂

[@tors14]

Whew! That girl can sing!!! Her vibrato is stunning, her perfect soprano tone is amazing. She's got a very bright future ahead of her and I'm excited for her.

[@hazelchief-rabbit5903]

Yes, indeed, she can!! I absolutely love her voice. All the best, Lauren!

the way Avi looks at her 😍

I know!!!!!

[@jusefinocachorro9790]

I know 🥰🥺

[@KActis-yk9yv]

The way Avi and Kirstie kept looking at her in awe, and smiling! They are the sweetest! I'm glad she was able to sing with the group. Great job!

[@vickiehitch6436]

She did a great job

[@LiveLoveLaugh212]

2024 and I see this video for the first time. She sang beautifully and had PTX sang back up vocals…WOW! This also made me love and miss Avi more. Such a genuine guy. I love Avi solo career and I love PTX. I wish upon a star one day their roads will cross again and collab with each other. Would love to hear PTX harmonizes one of Avi’s song. Or Avi made a special guest appearance on PTX tour or video. Fans would go crazy. I’m sending my wish into the universe 😊

[@alyssaw7201]

He looks so happy singing next to her

[@eva_vert8942]

I love Avi's encouraging and proud smile to Lauren. You did a great job. Good luck!

[@allhailplankton369]

right thats what almost made me cry

[@Ordep_Aviaras]

How can a human like Avi can be so kind........

[@jakublistwon]

Pedro Lucas he is Jesus (ya know, he is Jewish, has stunning beard and long hair, that cannot be coincidence) xD

[@kannbrown65]

Avi, with his work with Acapella Academy obviously loves encouraging new talent. :) So, this is wonderful to see on so many levels. I love those encouraging smiles he's giving her.

[@steinfliege9912]

I die and live again EVERY TIME T-T

[@cathyboyce9617]

I love how Avi softened his voice to not drown her out ~~

[@BlueStar4040]

And also just casually changed his own part in a way that still works

[@shannonbear8807]

This brought a big smile on my face omg her voice is so beautiful and i love how Avi looks at her

[@milzyverse]

do you ever just cry because we don't deserve avi kaplan?

[@evaann-louise2408]

Yes

[@beverlyfearon9571]

doing that right now. lol

[@mariawilliams4941]

Quite often

[@April_Davis]

Avi being so sweet, genuine, and beautiful. Lauren deserved this. She is amazing.

[@liamupgrove6912]

Congratulations on defeating cancer! I hope and pray that you will realize all of your dreams. You have a beautiful voice.

[@CeceliaFutral]

Avi you are perfect in music body and soul 💕💋

[@Dragon-di1zg]

The Avi glances and smiles. Priceless

[@mariawilliams4941]

Avi was like a proud Father/brother it was so good that he didn’t over power her, what a lovely voice she has.

[@phoenixember0922]

Love the way Avi encourages her and looks at her

[@patriciamcguire469]

I just love Avi's delight in listening to Lauren share his song. Beautiful, beautiful song.

[@marybreen1791]

Lauren, you killed it! What a beautiful song. You were perfect!

[@clixtry]

at 0:05 you can see Avi looking at her all sheepishly and he looks very shy :3 ahh, poor Avi. Got to love him :)

[@jusefinocachorro9790]

0:54 Avi is so enchanted by her voice that he ends up forgetting the lyrics of the song, omg I love his way with people. ❤️ And at the end of the song he is so happy.

[@BlueStar4040]

I- never thought abt it like that but that's so wholesome... He is more nervous than her ❤😂

[@ohifonlyx33]

I literally almost passed out from this performance because I stopped breathing. Like you know there are a few moments where it's not perfect. But wow Avi and Lauren sound so good together. And that thing he did @0:57 was a good thing he did. Also, if I Avi Kaplan was singing with me (and that song of all songs WHAT EVEN) and SMILING AT ME LIKE THAT there is no way I could keep it together. I would probably pass out from nerves or grin too much to sing and start laughing. Like, you could tell he was genuinely happy to sing with her. It feel like there was a real moment an Kirstie caught it too @0:43 AND WHOEVER DID THAT THING @3:32 BETTER SING... was it Kevin? I thought It was Kevin, now I'm thinking Avi. IDK AHHHH

[@nancycurran8864]

Absolutely lovely and sensitive! Lauren your voice sounds as if you've been a part of this group forever. Love it!

[@florf2469]

This melts my heart. Lauren has beautiful voice and I love the way Kirstie and Avi smile at her throughout the performance.

[@SberryLeo]

As a musician I'm watching this and I'm so proud of you. I know and you know that those smiles from Avi and Kirstie was because you sang notes that people wouldn't sing. You was on the harmonies and you even change then a bit. I'm really impressed with your courage and your potencial. You did something amazing there. Congrats for that and for the other winnig. Sorry for the bad english, is not my first language.

[@toricorreg5642]

Avi watching the girl all the time

[@philippapay4352]

It's such a privilege to listen to Lauren's lovely voice and know it will not be silenced and to see Avi's anointed smile which is full of encouragement for her and to watch Scott's emotive body language as he sings for us, expressing the meaning with voice and gesture.

[@suzannehorne4115]

Beautiful!

[@hartbigsjauregui3840]

Pentatonix is so underrated I'm almost glad. This is real freaking talent. I'm amazed everything I watch their video. It's like a golden secret knowing about them.

[@AgitatedGhost]

I started crying hearing this version of the song and reading the description. It's so pretty on its own but now with her and knowing her story it brought tears to my and chills to my spine. This is so amazing!!!

[@vickiehitch6436]

Just beautiful. Amazing. She sounded so good. And of course the Pentatonix did too. Am very impressed that Pentatonix takes the time and does special performances and does Make a Wish too Brightens up the people's days.

[@rileybeliveau4198]

I've watched this four times

[@luizadumont3817]

Me too

[@sleebs]

this made me cry. im so happy you beat the cancer

[@DeirdreGH]

Lauren - you are amazing, magical and know your team adores you beyond words! So happy for you that your Wish came true. You are a superstar at singing and at so many other things! Watch out world! Dee-Dee from MCCP :)

[@31bkknss]

I am watching the range of emotions go across Avi's face from pleasantly surprised to glee to pride to encouragement and then a little bit flirty and a bit of looking at her like Scott sometimes looks at Mitch. there was also a moment of sadness with the "even me my dear" thinking about his "fear" as expressed once on an interview show of not finding his true love as if this was a come and go moment of "I like her". Mitch seemed almost on the defensive or insecure he crossed his arms and kept them there the whole time. Loved this. SO special! Good luck to you Lauren! BKK

[@ickes111]

So incredibly beautiful! I am covered in goose bumps, for it truly sounded like a choir of angels!! Congratulations on being cancer free Lauren & may I wish you many blessings on your career in music after school! You are truly and beautifully gifted!

[@morganmurphy5800]

This was so beautiful!!!

[@AK-AK14]

Just found this video! Glad I did. What a beautiful performance!

[@micheleshaw3764]

Wow wow wow! This song is very special to me, so to see and hear an additional voice blend so naturally and beautifully is just one more blessing I have been given with this song!!! Thanks so much for your Make A Wish request, Lauren, the gift you have given us in your having this wish come true!!!!!

[@akaymac1]

You sang so beautifully! I wish for you an amazing career ahead! Congratulations on being cancer free!

What a beautiful voice Lauren has....how she managed to sing with Avi giving her such heart melting smiles as I'd be a puddle on the floor lol....God bless his pure heart. Wishing Lauren all the best for future good health and hoping her singing career takes off. Merry Christmas from Australia

[@erinmacdonald5624]

Yay Lauren 😊😊

[@ashleyj97]

Dang, reading that description beforehand just made this song hit different. Such a beautiful performance.

[@lengould9262]

OMG, Kirsten is SO TINY! Mitch too. Thanks Scott for supporting them thru high-school (yeah, I know, they are probably both feisty enough alone, but still, gets tiring).

[@madisonnelson3125]

If this doesn't make you smile and make your heart warm, then I don't know what will 💖😭

[@westra1961]

Perfect

[@jennimurphy252]

I know this was uploaded a while ago, but I genuinely don't see enough comments talking about how amazing this girls voice is! Its so smooth and she's hitting all those notes so perfectly and effortlessly!

[@dariaestermann2418]

The way Avi looks at her is soooo sweet 😍😍and Kirstie kept smiling at her too. ❤ Mitch and Scott just sing, no eye contact, not a single encouraging smile ...

Grandios...!!!

[@G-grandma_Army]

Reading the caption brings tears to my eyes. I pray Lauren is still doing good in 2021 (2022 in 15 days). As I’m typing this Lauren (whom I’ve never heard if before is singing with Avi and the tears are flowing). And if I’m not mistaken, it looks like this is during Mitch’s battle, too, which makes me cry even more!

[@ccparc1073]

So make a wish, something impossible, like a capella will be mainstream. Miracles happen.

[@anniedownum451]

I can't believe the only reason I know this song exists is because I'm doing it in my high school choir. I'm not a huge Pentatonix fan (TBH prefer Home Free), but I love a few of their songs, including this one. Chills throughout. Can't wait to see how my choir does with this one!

[@afi1089]

you managed to catch the most important part of the whole upload -.-

Wow that's actually such a great idea for a make a wish thing. I don't have any life-threatening illnesses but if I did I would probably do the same. Then again if I ever met them i would probably faint from excitement lol

[@jaredprovost2002]

She's actually really good too, she could've fooled me into thinking she had a KZbin cover channel for sure

[@pcrlaura]

get you a man that looks at you like avi looks at lauren

[@Sophiave]

I'm hyperventilating about how Avi looks at her while singing

[@autumnprincess5680]

Who is still watching in 2017

[@31bkknss]

one last thought. I watch him react to his students when it is a teachers pride e.g. Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus performed at the 2016 Acappella Academy talent show. How he looks at her is "more". Just saying. BKK

[@gracecline1839]

who are the pentatonix

[@fernysextras5677]

I just saw kirstie and I looked for her height in google and she is 5'4 and I'm 5'4.I always thought I was at Avi's height,but I would look like a puppet if I was standing next to them.

[@rhysstuller7731]

im sad

[@hassenfoosdienimble7062]

Rhys Stuller Why are you sad?

[@zain4019]
