Pentatonix are AT IT AGAIN! This time they bring the classic Christian hymn "Amazing Grace" to the table, but with a Pentatonix twist. (PS: Sorry for the audio issues in this one! My microphone glitched, but I figured I would post it anyway).

If you are interested in the best vocalist ive ever heard (and that is no small feat ot a title I give lightly) go check out angelina jordanher version of you say just got put up the other day. I've called Adele the voice of the century, so Angelina will just have to take the millennium. Dobe right this child prodigy who isnt a child any more could have a career and music they will still be talking about in a thousand years. Side by side analysis, she covers adele better than Adele sibgs songs that she wrote. She is the most interpretative artist ive ever seen and has been arranging all of her own work since she was in the single digits. Won her nations got talent at 7 years old

Pentatonix is what you get when every member of the group is gifted. This started with Avi Kaplan , but Matt Sallee has proven just as talented. Every person knows what they do best, and the group as a whole supports that and brings out the best in each of them. And we get treated to what 5 gifted people sound like in perfect harmony. That high harmony that resonates perfectly to a drop into dead silence at the end of Kirsten's part isn't the first time they've done that. They did it before in "Imagine," with Avi as bass. And Kirsten is the lead in to that high harmony as well, which is how you lead into a high harmony, with a nice high voice. Mitch can do that too, obviously, but Kirsten's high soprano set them up perfectly for it. And their flawless timing on the drop out almost leaves their voices hanging there for a millisecond like a echo into silence. The effect of perfect timing and synchronicity between them cannot be understated, they execute that particular quality better than most. When they do it live, it's one of the most incredible things to hear, the blistering high harmonies - which SOUND like there's 8-10 people, not just 5 - and the drop into dead silence. It raises the hair on your neck when they do it, it's absolutely incredible.

If you want a video to hit you "in the feels" I think their version of "The Prayer" will do it. The first time I watched it...I cried. It was so good. I don't normally cry like a baby but this one hit me hard. When the sun came out...the tears started pouring. Please react to that one. It should have been their 4th Grammy. Great reaction and explanation 👍. You always do a great job and keep it interesting. Some reactors get boring with all their technical talk.

I think this one is a perfect representation of the famous Pentatonix 'wall of sound' - it's so perfect. I always love people's surprise at Kevin's solo bit at the end. He has such a surprisingly beautiful high tenor voice. According to Mitch he can acttually sing higher than him, despite the fact that Mitch is a counter tenor. Please do their version of the Prayer - it's stunning. Also, for the feels their original song Run to me is absolutely gorgeous. PTX are known for their covers and Christmas songs but their originals are incredible and much under-rated.

Amazing as always. They blend so well and brings me to tears at times. My favorites are Kevin and Matt. So talented. I love their Christian music, they really get into their sounds. I love The Sound of Silence. First song I heard by them and I became hooked. I could listen to them for hours. They are incredibly talented each in their own way but join them together and you have something that touches your very soul. Amazing Grace and Mary did you Know are the best I've ever heard. They enciate each word so clearly, you can understand every word. Incredible blending of the total group and they all know when to lead and follow. I was a vocal music major, full schoalrship, and they give me chills and pure happiness. You guys are the best. I do have my favs and that would be Kevin and Matt. You guys rock and I never get tired of listening to you. Sometimes when I'm down, I listen to Pentatonix and my day immediately becomes pure joy and satifaction. Thank you for being a shining star with all that you do. You rival anyone out there with your unique spin on songs. Better than the original talent. I love you guys.

This version of Amazing Grace that adds the "My Chains Are Gone" refrain was originally done by Chris Tomlin for the 2006 film "Amazing Grace" starring Ioan Gruffudd (Reed Richards in the 2005 Fantastic Four movie). Tomlin was hesitant at first to make additions to something so well known, he decided to give it ago after discovering that the song had already had a previous addition, when the last verse was added anonymously in 1790. This version from the movie has become a fan favorite and I've heard it sung in church a few times.

The absolute joy you can see on Kirstie’s face and hear in her voice as she sings her verse, makes me cry every time. She owns this, it’s hers now. And Mitch was perfect, I love the tone he used here. Scott was perfect in his verse. Matt was perfect at the beginning, so beautiful. And Kevin coming for the surprise win at the end.

Great arrrangement by Pentatonix! I have a "peculiar" relationship with the music, though. Working on musicals and operas, it's not unusual to wind up with a song stuck in your head.

Just FYI, this version/arrangement is called "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" was put together by christian artist Chris Tomlin. The only thing he added was the chorus. The original version song was written in 1772 by a former African slave trader turned abolitionist, and had six verses but the last verse we all know wasn't one of them. The verse that starts "When we've been there 10,000 years" was added to the song in the 1852 novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" from an old African American song. Chris Tomlin took five of the six verses from the original, and the famous last verse, and wrote his own chorus to it. It's such an amazing song, with an incredible back story.

I was a little taken aback the first time I heard Kirstie's solo verse , at how choppy it was. I'm so used to trying to give each phrase flow. (Though she does a good job of ending each two-syllable word group with intention to keep the phrase going.) . As another comment mentioned, this version of "Amazing Grace" was written by Christian musician Chris Tomlin, for the soundtrack of the 2006 film Amazing Grace, about the history of the abolition of slavery in the British Empire. But Tomlin also has a solo version, just him singing and playing piano, and the choppy style for that verse is based on that.
