Yeah, Mitch is a special breed. The group has been asked several times who they think the best singer in the group is…everyone but Mitch points to Mitch. They realize what a unicorn he is. The fact that they are all amazing singers but choose to sing together is a gift to us all. Love your reactions. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

[johnmcginnis]

Music heals, music thrills. Without music, I could not live.

[michaelmurphy]

I've said before and I'll say it again. When God needs to send his Angels for singing lessons they show up at Pentatonix door. Singers with perfect pitch are rare but Mitch combined it with perfect musical instincts. He's the total package.

In case you haven’t been told yet, Mitch is a counter tenor with a 6-octave range. A truly exquisite voice. Kirstie is a mezzo soprano but rarely hits her upper range. When she does, it’s always something special.

[margretrosenberg]

The reason Mitch's solo sounds effortless is that it IS effortless. This song is right in Mitch's sweet spot, the range he's most comfortable with. Yes, when he switches from chest voice to head voice he does it flawlessly, without a hitch, and yes, that comes from training, which by now is ingrained in him, but this is Mitch singing something beautiful for the joy of singing something beautiful. I'm just glad he shares the beauty with us.

[RubyGB]

Mitch's effortless performance is by the grace of being a rare natural born counter tenor (many believe there is only one born to a generation). His talent was not so much gifted to him by God but to the world.

[susanpeterson]

Scott is a natural baritone but we seldom get to hear it like this. He can and does sing everything from bass to high tenor. They are ALL amazing singers and human beings.

I’ve been in love with them since 2011 when they were on Sing Off. Some of the best vocals I’ve ever heard. Their arrangements even in the early days were innovative and stunning. They were 18/19 years old then and Sara Bareillis told them they were going to be stars. She wasn’t wrong. They just get better every year.

OMG, How Beautiful, What a great Prayer!!😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

[hernameispekka_Rebecca]

What a lovely and genuine reaction. They really don't pull any punches on this one. They go "Oh, are those your heartstrings? I'll just play with those for a while".

[chrisabel]

In the recording evergreen video, Kevin asks Kirstie if she's doing the first part. She responds, "no, Mitch is doing that". Kevin nods "Oh, OK", like it's a natural choice for the band to feature their male countertenor on a female part. As others noted, the making video gives insight into the teamwork they bring to arranging, re-arranging, and recording of their work. It's worth 17 ish minutes to watch on your own.

[elizabethfelet]

It is so beautiful, it's almost .... painful. Like, ripping the breath out of your lungs painful. Like you almost can't breathe. It's that impactful.

[TheToscanaMan]

Dude... intense one. When Kirstie belts it is something isn't it? I've heard this a million times but it never gets old. PTX at their best. ☮

[elainedavis]

Great Reaction -- No matter what kind of music we prefer we all can recognize "greatness."

[johnthegreek]

Hands down this is definitely my favorite version, they were robbed from The Grammy’s this year, Michael Buble beat them with his album (I like Michael Buble) but this cover is Grammy and Every Award Worthy

[mollygee]

At 20 seconds what they are doing is giving you a blanket and tissues because your world is about to be ROCKED

[jennycarr]

You are correct, it NEVER gets old. Thank you for sharing your emotions, Watching it through your eyes was like watching it for the first time for me. SO good!!!

[SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

I tell this story to every reactor that watches this video. This song literally saved me from severe pain. I had just had surgery for kidney cancer the morning this video came out. I was in so much pain, I couldn't sleep, and I was scared and alone (thanks to COVID). After watching this video, my tears of pain turned to tears of joy and hope, and I was able to get some rest. Best experience of my life was getting to share that story with Pentatonix at their concert this past December. They are miracle workers. Wonderful reaction, you are a good soul. ❤

[miketj]

The trio is amazing in this as usual. I think sometimes Matt and Kevin get overlooked a bit in songs where they don't have solos. This entire song rests on the bass and beats provided by Matt and KO. They give the piece power, drive, and an anchor. Great reaction.

[brendahowell]

No it never gets old. They are just amazing. Speaking of Amazing.. Amazing Grace is awesome by them as well. As everything is.
