[ChodTheWacko]

I've listened to countless "experts" and "professionals" and "vocal coaches" examine pentatonix videos. This coach mentions a LOT of stuff that no other person does. For a "simple" example, very few reviews notice how Pentatonix transitions between singers so seamlessly and cleverly. And you can tell Mr Carri is a real professional. For example, he replays sections MULTIPLE times in order to make sure what he is about to say is complete and correct. It's a simple thing - Mr Carri probably looks at that comment and thinks, "doesn't everyone do that?", but no - you almost never see anyone else do it. It's also pretty interesting how Mr Carri doesn't blink an eye at how low Avi sings, nor how high Mitch sings. He's probably heard tons of singers. A low singing bass and a high singing tenor is nothing unusual to him. Other "experts" are like "OH MY GOD THATS SO HIGH" and make "Mitch faces". He doesn't even think it's worth mentioning. Bravo. It's unfortunate that Most youtubers watchers have extremely short attention spans and probably will avoid this video because it is longer than 5 minutes. Their loss!

"Some Italian guy reacting to _Hallelujah_ for over 34 minutes. I don't have time for this."
Initial impressions can be so wrong. The English subtitles were expertly done, and I could feel your passion at the talent displayed. Your musical knowledge is clearly first rate. 34 minutes well spent. Subscribed. Grazie.

[michelefields]

I’ve listened to this performance at least 100 times, but you made me hear and understand elements that I had never noticed before. You caused me to appreciate their talent more than ever. Thank you!

[rowenakotelniski]

The way you explain the things they do with their voices and arrangements makes it easy to understand for a person like me with no musical training. I have not seen any other reactor explain it like you do. You make me appreciate Pentatonix even more for their abilities. I will be back for more!

[summerarmstrong]

I have watched hundreds of reactions to Pentatonix songs and I think you’re my absolute favorite! I truly appreciate your knowledge and insight about their stylistic choices and how talented they really are. Most reactors just think they’re awesome and react to their voices but it’s so much more than that. It’s a treat to hear you talk about the techniques behind their singing and why they choose to do what they do. They’re not just good singers, they’re smart singers. Not a lot of reactors get that and I appreciate that you do. I’ve learned more from you than any other reactor. Thank you for that, and for the time you put into making sure your reactions are top quality. I subscribed the first time I saw one of your reactions! I’m definitely sharing it!

[AmateurCrastinator]

Never in my life would I have thought an interpretation of a song would tie me to a chair like this one. I envy Roberto's incredible high resolution ability to hear, analyse and interpret vocals. I'm amazed and had to repeat several parts, so the 34 minutes were more like a whole hour on my end but I never have experienced their interpretation of Hallelujah as richly layered and intense as today. I bow my head and thank you!

[EduardQualls]

He's speaking Italian, which means that, even in the pauses between video playback, the music doesn't stop. _Parlare italiano: è cantare ad ogni respiro._
This is simply the best, most detailed, most musically informative reaction to/explanation of this video. Bravo!

[boredtech]

Let me preamble with first this statement.per aver racchiuso la valutazione più bella e precisa che abbia mai sentito. hai l'orecchio di Dio.
My father was a notable conductor, here in the US and abroad. I started playing piano at 3, I have played in orchestras for many years. I sing and have recorded many songs. I have been a tenured professor of music theory and history, but your analysis of this simple and wonderful rendition of Pentatonix song was, is the finest and most accurate and please stay with most articulate I have ever heard. Best of all it was done in the only language nuanced enough to express the intricacies of the song. bravo maestro, analisi straordinaria.

[cindyriggs]

I loved hearing and seeing your reaction to Pentatonics Hallelujah.
I will elaborate: my first viewing of their performance made me cry like a baby. In fact, I cry every single time I watch it. I was curious as to why it has this affect on me. So I decided to try to understand. I came across this entire phenomena of people ( like you) filming their reactions to it. Everyone was blown away, and mainly were dumbfounded, describing it as amazing, or saying wow, over and over. They also could not articulate the reasons they felt such strong emotions. I decided to research Cohen, and they meaning behind the lyrics. Very interesting;some religion; old testement, the word ' hallelujah', and what that connotes,
referencing king David ( he was a harpist!), and then Sampson and Delilah, but also mixed with these modern NON- religious lyrics.
I read the things Cohen had to say about it. He even called it a 'secular form of hallelujah', like for the everyman. Hmmm... 🤔.
But why do I always cry? I am not religious, but somehow this song draws something forth from me.something deep within. Superficially, the performance and song are amazing. ( Cohen didn't have the vocals to make me react to it so emotionally). Then I can across your reaction video. Finally ! Someone who is talented and articulate; who can begin to help me understand it. I loved your descriptions of the strategic uses of dynamics and what they contributed to the emotional impact. When you said a certain part 'stung you' ; and the real, and reactive look on your face... I shouted yes! !! Finally someone is unpacking this loaded performance a bit, and really digging into what makes it so successful at evoking emotions in everyone. You mainly describe it from your professional view, which is obviously very advanced. But you also allowed yourself to really feel it and describe how it affects you viscerally as well.
I can see, you are a person of great substance; of great passion, respect and proficiency for music. And also a person who is not afraid to allow others to see your real thoughts and emotions in your reactions. How you described the shapes of their mouths as they sang: as, when horizontal, allowed their tone to 'cut like a blade' . Bravo. I loved that description. I really don't watch many personal YouTube channels. I am glad I found yours.
Building on what you described, I am close to distilling my own reaction to this performance. I had no idea about the bible references, other than the word hallelujah. I think I pick up on universal meanings, for almost all the verses, subconsciously even. Tied you to a chair, cut your hair....that is an utter feeling of powerlessness...we have all felt that, haven't we?? It hurts so much, and so deep, he cannot do anything else. he just has to resign his self because he must 'let go', and the hallelujah is pulled from his lips.... as if to release that pain to the universe ( or 'give it to God' to handle (for some)) . And the references to the broken hallelujahs. Powerful. The people who struggle in everyday situations of pain, and joy as well. It is a hopeful song. It makes me hopeful . It was really nice to see what you did here. I find your intellect, your sincerity, your love of music, and your musical prowess to be so darned refreshing.
I have gone on too much.
I subscribed. And thanks again.

[brookebeasley]

I would love to hear your reaction to and breakdown of their cover of "Gold." Lots of vocal techniques there I'd like to learn about.

[dianeaustin]

Robert...your analysis and your musical knowledge and the way you offer up your opinion...it's why I and many others keep coming back. Bravo!!

[Lookinforrealmusic]

The second singer has my favorite voice of any singer working today. His name is Avi Kaplan and he went solo in 2017.
The sound of his voice is so beautiful it gives me goosebumps.

[mcdaniel]

Your analysis is so detailed, it belies the notion to simply sing with heart and emotion. Love to you. May I suggest PTX's recent upload of "Amazing Grace, " another masterful performance IMO.

[karylmonaco]

I saw this and didn't have time to watch, and then it disappeared!! So very happy it showed up again. Your analyzes remind me of what I did as an English major/teacher, analyzing poetry--looking at word choice and sound and rhythm and rhyme and imagry, etc., to emphasize and add meaning. What we called a "close reading." But you're doing it with music in ways that add such depth to my understanding and enjoyment. I was already a huge Pentatonix fan; you've made me truly understand their talent and artistry in ways I never could without help. Waiting anxiously for the next one! I'm also now a huge Roberto fan...

[ChrisS-idgk]

I’ve watched so many “Vocal Coaches” react to music, but none as in-depth or with the knowledge that you bring to the table. You do it all without coming off as trying to impress your audience like so many do, but rather in a natural way of someone that actually has a working knowledge of music. Very refreshing!
Thank you 🙏

[AlishaHerbiederbie]

I know this video is nearly a year old, but your analysis was absolutely captivating. You gave such attention to each element the individual singers brought to the song, it helped me to appreciate the music even more. You used language that a person like me, who enjoys a variety of music but lacks training, could understand and gave insight for why this song is so beautiful. Thank you for including subtitles for us who do not speak Italian, they were as focused as you were in this analysis. I'm subscribing and will be watching your other videos, please keep up the excellent work!

[jetmail]

Wow! Another advanced class in deep music analysis. No one does it better! Riveting! I learn more from your dissections and observations in one video than hundreds of others! Pentatonix are an a capella phenom but your analyses are phenomenal! Magnificent work, sir!

[lauriep]

Thank you SO much for the time and thoughtfulness you put into your analysis. I know many of us truly appreciate it. I've watched your version of Sound of Silence quite a few times, along with a few others on your page. You bring a very different perspective. We all know they have great voices and that they blend so well, but you pick up specifics on their arrangements that I never even noticed. So thank you again and looking forward to more!

[pamscarr]

Avi, second soloist and bass for the group was on the verge of taking a bass position at the L.A. Opera house when when he and Scott, (tall blonde) met. He (Avi) is classically trained.
He was with the group 6 years but the constant touring and recording was more than he could continue. Also his mother was going through a second round of cancer and he could not get away to be with her and his Dad.
His rich 5 octave range plus his whistle notes when he sings using his Polyphonic voice is so beautiful.
For my ears, PTX will never be the same.

[amyhull]

This was a PURE JOY to listen to--especially as someone learning Spanish and realizing how much I've learned through listening to your Italian!!--because of how DETAILED your musical analysis was. Thank you for giving me even more to think about musically than many others have done. Grazie, grazie!!!
