Shortly before he passed away, Leonard Cohen was given the opportunity to hear Pentatonix’s version of his song and he said it was the finest cover of “Hallelujah” he’d ever heard. RIP Mr Cohen.

[@BeingBetter]

That just made my day.

[@maryhuhnke8496]

I appreciate your authentic response to Leonard Cohen's iconic, Hallelujah. Long live Leonard Cohen and his never-ending!

Imagine has probably the ultimate build up to what Pentaholics call the Wall Of Sound

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

It's a must ASAP

Nah I give that designation to The Prayer. There's 4 walls of sound in that sucker.

[@lurker1107]

So, in 2014 the Recording Academy who is responsible for the Grammys changed one arrangement category. That category had been had been Best Arrangement - Instrumental for eons. In 2014, they decided to change that category to Best Arrangement - Instrumental or A Capella. I am convinced they did that because of Pentatonix. I can't prove it...but Pentatonix did win that category 2 years in a row. And no other A Capella group has ever won a Grammy. 😉

[@MC1002MT]

When the members of PTX were asked who was the best singer - all of them said "Mitch". He is so versatile - LOVE his voice!

[@therese369]

Its really tough tho, cause they all have something so incredibly unique to them. And they’ve grown so much during these years. But Mitch😍 Yeah he is so Damn amazing🤗

[@wvob6752]

I agree Mitch is the absolute best and then there was Avi next. Yet, they're all great singers and love their voices.

[@edwardmcdevitt790]

I, too, am captivated by Mitch's voice! He is so mesmerizing!

[@5josullivan]

I cant pick a best including the beatboxer, thats a talent all it's own .

[@mmg8823]

They have three Grammys. The first was for Daft Punk, which you have reacted to. The second was for Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, an instrumental by Tchaikovsky. A band that doesn't use instruments singing a song that doesn't have words. The third was for being Dolly Parton's backup band singing Jolene.

[@purplesky001]

Please don't avoid the sugar plum fairy. It's just beautiful

[@wendischambach6181]

"A band that doesn't use instruments singing a song that doesn't have words." LOL. Best description I've heard so far and so, so true. Well said!

[@alexandrarosanacuibus2205]

yes Avi's bass always reaches untouched corners of the soul

[@amyliza4027]

DAFT PUNK MEDLEY!! It cost about $400 to film, and got them their first Grammy!! Enjoy!

[@christineg8151]

I love this song, but the lyrics I feel are often misunderstood. You're right, it's an indictment, and I think a lot of people see it as as a celebration instead. "Hallelujah" as an exclamation gets used as a word of joy and affirmation/celebration, but this song celebrates loss and grief. Done properly, it will bring you to tears as you find that sense of despair/loss ("It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.") They do it right!

[@amandasamson4513]

agreed, it brings out that desperate emotion in me.

[@elcarto22]

This incredible song by Leonard Cohen actually has something like 50+ verses, and so every performer gets to construct their own version, using the verses they feel fits what they want to say.

[@jessicadukes2519]

You know its getting real when Fable is siting backwards in his chair. Ha! Next level! ♡

[@jman3254]

Their harmonies, especially when they crescendo and sustain a momentary high level of volume, are so so tight and electric that it often sounds like it's coming out of some sort of machine. Beyond incredible. . .

[@mecfstraveler]

I've been waiting for SOMEONE to realize this is a song about the pain humans cause each other...the pain of the betrayed.. and the betrayers' triumphant shout of "Hallelujah!" is perverse when used in this context. The lyrics are heartbreaking.

[@kristagerry8505]

If you love rap pentatonix has an amazing cover of can't hold us by macklemore! Also their original song is upbeat I don't think it's technically a rap but is really upbeat and fun!

[@ms_scribbles]

You mean their original song Sing? Well, it's got a bit of rap in it from Kevin, but it's mostly singing. Still, it's so much fun and puts a smile on your face. But yeah, I second the suggestion of Can't Hold Us. Everybody but Avi raps in that one and they're all fabulous. (Avi doesn't need to rap, he can just rattle your soul with his bass. That's good enough for me.)

[@billhallam3752]

They’ve won 3 Grammys so far. First was for their “Daft Punk” medley, the second one was for their arrangement of “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”, and the last one was for their duet with Dolly Parton on her classic “Jolene”. All were well-deserved.

[@uNkLeRaRa4]

"Wow I'm super impressed with the first guys voice!!" Mitch: *hold my beer*

[@Sweeney541]

Is this the time where we inform you that PTX can rap as well? Recommendations: Can't Hold Us, Thriftshop, No, Starships, Problem, We Are Ninjas, Sing! (an original PTX track). There's also their appearance on Drop the Mic

[@vidsorama2]

From Drop The Mic, I think that they were robbed. lol. Just saying...

[@rugr82day]

@@vidsorama2 , they were definitely robbed. Meth admitted it.

[@chrismorin1318]

If you think they "took you to church" in this one, wait for Amazing Grace. I didn't think they could match Hallelujah, but oh my my my my! Both of these songs make me feel like I have a low voltage electric current running through my entire body and I end up a shivering, quivering puddle of emotion by the end. I never realized that layers of goosebumps could feel like they were vibrating! ❤

[@BeingBetter]

Me too. It's an indescribable feeling.

I'm just tickled pink that you are doing all their songs.. That's So Freaking Amazing cause I have always loved them... Thanks Fil !! Your are the greatest ❣️

[@LKfan6110]

It was the first song I heard from them,,, I've been under his influence ever since,,, you almost expected Jesus to appear on the tape for these heavenly voices.

[@dwaynediamond6431]

Great reaction! Another good one is "Can you feel the love tonight" from the lion king soundtrack. It'll be another 30 rating for sure!

[@Sweeney541]

They do have 3 Grammys so far: 2 for best arrangement: Daft Punk and Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy 1 for best country group performance: Jolene (w/ Dolly Parton)

[@lindaaumiller7592]

I actually love this song. This group does this so well I feel the song. very few people can sing this.

[@bridgethaines7127]

The bass is Avi, in the beanie with the beard. He is a classically trained basso profundo and has been known to blow out speakers at shows, and can also do overtone singing. He left the band a couple years back for family and personal stuff, amicably, and helped them find his replacement, Matt.

[@jwhite17]

What blows my mind is that Scott covers the bass here during Avi’s solo

[@Karen-Campos]

“I think they are going to make this next level!” Ohhhh, you have no idea! Keep listening. It’s a roller coaster ride!

[@colinrichardson4490]

Hallelujah to Pentatonic's, acapella at its best (Mitch 😇 heavenly voice👏as always great reaction 💯👌👍

Fil, please keep reacting. I listen to you more than ANYONE else. There are 100s of people to react to Pentatonix, but I always listen to you first. You're the best!

[@davidbangtson3109]

One of their nicest performances. Several of their Christian sourced songs are top notch. Also react to Mary Did You Know, Amazing Grace, Silent Night, and more. Great reaction, as always.

[@olabergvall3154]

Well... this one is not a christian song one bit. We could ask the composer, had he not already passed off to pastures greener

[@AliciaMoore-Morada]

Silent Night is incredible, sung in a church nave. Simple, stunning. And Run to You is straight vocals, haunting!

[@shirleymoffat3338]

@Ola Bergvall Totally agree that it’s not a Christian song - especially as it’s composer was Jewish.

[@frostie552]

A wonderful appreciation. I love your comments about them “capturing the spirit” of the song. That illuminates what I think of as a core PTX ambition for every song they do, and, for me, they succeed. They add to my happiness every time I listen. And you did too with this reaction, thank you.

[@renebrown5589]

I love how you reacted to the emotional component of them singing this song. They are exceptionally talented but beyond that it triggers a primal reaction of our hearts and spirits and that’s what makes it profound

[@JustSomeApparition]

Another great choice 😁. The live version is "better" in my opinion, but that's only because you really are immersed in how truly acapella it is because you're not distracted by the production value. This is still great though. Anyway I look forward to the next, and, as always, remain blessed. -Kev

[@janetfrosst4331]

I totally agree that the live version is better.

[@reneepope-munro8115]

Agree, that filmed live version is IMO better vocally because it’s more dynamic, and as you say, no production distractions.

[@lynnetitus648]

No tricks in recording. I have seen them live, AMAZING.

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

[@amandasamson4513]

want to be mind blown!! listen to this song live!!

[@angelfeather7547]

I could see how emotional this was for you. I could tell Avi gave you the chills as well. I have to say that's how 90% of people who reacted to this song. Some cried more and some have more chills all over. I cried when Avi sang the part about Samson having his hair cut by Delilah. The emotion Avi sang it with was so strong. Samson broke his vow to the father by chasing an unclean woman who cut his hair off. It's painful because, our father cut his power and connection off too. That's why it's a broken hallelujah. He cried out to heaven and was not able to be heard anymore. This I imagine was how the fallen angels felt when they disobeyed their maker. They could no longer connect to the love they once had. It's a very touching song and PTX I feel did it the best. I loved your reaction to this. I love to see how others react to this song because, I love to see the build up on their faces.

[@larrywt656]

Hallelujah was my introduction to Pentatonix in March 2020, right as the pandemic was kicking into high gear. I'm actually kind of embarrassed to say that because they are from my home state of Texas and have been together since 2011. I'm not sure how I missed them all of that time and I was VERY late to the game, but I have been making up for it ever since. I have listened to EVERY song, watched EVERY video and downloaded EVERY album, and I haven't gone a single day without listening to or watching something Pentatonix or Pentatonix-related. I am a proud Pentaholic now and will be from now on. BTW, songwriter Leonard Cohen never intended this to be a religious song. It's a song of break-up, loneliness, isolation and heartbreak...but Cohen also intended for each listener to draw his or her own conclusions about the meaning of the lyrics. I've heard unconfirmed reports that Cohen heard this Pentatonix version shortly before his death and called it his favorite ever.

[@annagraham7083]

The Bass, Avi. You HAVE to listen to this with headphones. You will appreciate how this song has is done even more. That bass blows your mind

The lyrics "all I ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya". This is his way of saying when someone said "I love you" to him first he would terminate the relationship. Cohen was a lyrical genius.

Hallelujah is a very long song by Leonard Cohen and no one ever sings all the lyrics, but the verse Mitch is doing is becoming more popular. This song is more about how love can break you than a lovely church song.

Loved your reaction to this! Listen a second time to hear the seamless handoff of the bass line.
