When a guy is beatboxing, tapping his chest, and stomping his foot all at the same time at different beats, you know he’s freaking amazing.

this is how I imagine the choir of angels in heaven sound

3:46 You can hear Avi’s amazing bass voice in the background.

Avis, and Mitchs voices are just insane

I feel like the guy beat boxing doesn't get enough credit. He was killin it

i want this to be played at my funeral when i die

Lyrics: I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Baby, I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor You know, I used to live alone before I knew you And I've seen your flag on the marble arch And Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well, there was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me, do you? But remember, when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath, we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above But, all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you? And it's not a cry, that you hear at night It's not somebody, who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

The last 5 seconds where the crowd is silent. The bass just hits different. Peaceful harmony

The beat boxer doesn't get enough credit. My man killing it

Dear Scott, Mitch, Kirstin, Avi and Kevin, The chances of you seeing this comment is slim. But I needed to post it. My friend Claire.... you met her this year in Brisbane. A lovely 24 year old who adored your music to her core. She passed away two weeks ago after a long battle. I've not been able process it yet, but just then, as I watched this, I felt an amazing sense of joy that Claire is no longer in pain. Your music touched her and helped her on her journey. I only wish she'd have had more time to hear this one ❤Whilst I was always a massive fan of yours, for also helping me on my health journey, today it connected with me on such a deep level that I'll never ever forget. If you ever have a moment of self doubt please remember this. You are inspiring others in ways you may not even realise. Love Bridget

Avi's voice is magic. It's all so gorgeous!

I’m 19 years old, it’s so hard to be a Christian teenager and many teenagers don’t believe in Jesus but i want them to believe in Jesus I’ll pray for them everyday and I’ll keep my faith forever

he beat boxer literally makes this group he needs more credit.

avi is love, avi is life

I could watch this 1 million times and never get tired of this performance. Apparently incredible. You can feel the emotion behind it. It makes me speechless

Pentatonix it's the best vocal group ever I know on my life... God job Pentatonix GOD BLESS YOU😇

What blows my mind is how it sounds like the studio recording in a live performance

Anyone else notice how Scott took over the bass notes for Avi when Avi had his solo, and totally killed it? No, just me? Okay cool. They're so flipping incredible

Had this as my wedding procession song. Love their version

Avi has the voice of god and Mitch has the voice of an angel. Just amazing and stunning performance.

I will NEVER get over Avi’s part

CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE SCOTT’S BASS VOICE FOR A SEC

Scott has such a full rich voice it's so beautiful to watch him sing with such strength and power.

Avi’s background vocals during Mitch’s solo… (Chef’s kiss)

AVI DOES NOT GET ENOUGH CREDIT his range is just impeccable AH

What can go wrong when even Jesus is performing with you?

*I’m a 45 year old war veteran and I’ve lost every relationship and failed at everything in my life. Four days ago I was laying in bed, crying and I prayed to God. I told him that I have nothing to give him that’s worthy of a King but my broken heart. I heard him speak to me and say, “allow yourself to fall apart, it’s ok, I’ve got you.” I began to sob uncontrollably. I heard him speak again and he said, “I’ve got amazing and extraordinary things in store for you, just trust me.” So all I have is a broken life surrendered to Him. I have to give up and let him do the work because I am nothing on my own*

This is the most beautiful musical group I have ever heard. One day I hope to attend one of their concerts. When listening to their music I envision myself being able to sing like this to my Jesus. This music helps me express myself to the Lord. I love you Lord and thank you for this group, I pray your protection over them.

I was eating when I got the notification for this and I screamed, and now I'm choking on my sandwich.

Avi’s bass is insane u can feel it in your chest

This group is beyond talented. Every single one of them brings a flawless performance to the table and together they are powerful. This song brings tears to my eyes and goosebumps . God bless

I've heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do ya? Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, hmm Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to the kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well baby, I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch And love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well, maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who has seen the Light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Who is in 2020 still watching this video? They are very amazing

This is talent, unlike most singers who can't really even sing, just auto tune, and then when they play live they're trash. These guys are great though

*To the one who's reading this, I hope you are doing alright, I hope that all the pain you are facing right now will turn into a great achievement. Always remember that God is always with us. He will bless, guide, and protect us 💗*

I’ve watched this way too many times and I still get goosebumps

definition of High Note 1. High 2. Very High 3. So Very High 4. And there's Mitch Grassi

The white guy with the Beard sounded the best

I feel like certain works of art transcend humanity... like this, both this performance and this song are so out of this world it doesn't feel real. It's so much more than just entertaining. It captures your soul with raw emotion.

I heard you the first time on the radio singing "Mary Did You Know". My husband passed away November of 2019 so, it was the Christmas of 2018. My husband and I were delivering wholesale candy to the resorts around the Phoenix area. He loved changing the stations of the radio. When I heard even one note I would say,"Leave it there, leave it there!". You guys make music heavenly, truly awesome. The harmonies haunte they shoot straight through someone's heart.

Pay close attention to Kevin, listen to him, he's doing something incredibly special in this arrangement, especially during Mitch's solo. He's so underrated and slept on as a singer.

A take me to church cover would be cool...

Crazy how Avi is able to sing such low notes like if it was child's play. You could clearly see that Scott has a harder time hitting the bass notes, moving his head and stuff, but it's still very impressive how he's able to do it. Bro has crazy range

The second man singing is absolutely gorgeous and an absolutely beautiful voice. The Beat boxer is amazing and such a great bass sound. They all are amazing. 🥰😍

Avi is too talented to sing bass only.

Goosebumps, anyone else feel it?

Listening to Pentatonix is like listening to a choir of Angels. Bringing joy and comfort to all who listen. They truly are that good. God bless them always. ☺️

This is my favorite song by Pentatonix.

Mitch: Well maybe there's... Everyone: SCREAMS

I knew Penatonix where talented it but fucking hell this is next level.

I swear I'm just always instantly drawn to Kevin's movements OMG I'm just mesmerized because like 🗣HOW IN THE FREAKING WORLD ARE YOU DOING THAT😭🤯

From Indonesia;) Love this song so much I watch it over and over again and cry. Thank you my Jesus..Love u so..❤

Autotune: knock knock Pentatonix: who's there? Autotune: it's Autotune Pentatonix: *who??*

Kevin is amazing Kirsty is amazing Scott is amazing Mitch is amazing *Avi is perfect*

Truly talented musicians. Unbelievable vocals!

An amazing song by Leonard Cohen - who, unfortunately, has passed - evolving from a 1979 album and beautifully sung by Pentatonix. Thank you to all!

If you think that they're lip syncing....... The door is down the hall to your left.

I hated how everyone screamed when each person started singing except for avi and it kills me because I think avi did the best out of all of them . His voice is so deep and so soft like it make me get goosebumps 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I'm sorry, but Mitch's voice makes me cry. So amazing.

The Pentatonix are just insane!! Omg Avi is amazing, miss him😫

You know, of the 100 different "covers" of Leonard Cohen's " Hallelujah "...... this is by far the best.....

WARNING: Detailed video breakdown and explanation below. Thumb up so others can read for themselves! Allow me to preface this by saying that I am a true, hardcore Pentatonix fan. I have been following them closely since 2011, and I own every single song that's been released on iTunes. I also sing/perform as a vocal bass, and have for many years, so you can imagine that I've probably memorized every solo and bass part that Avi has. I record at home in my own studio and produce, mix, and master all of my vocal samples. I might also mention that I've listened to their studio rendition of Hallelujah countless times. As a hardcore fan, I owe it to pretty much every other fan and, of course, PTX themselves to dig in and defend them when their credibility is under attack. However, as a musician and a perfectionist, I also think it's imperative to call it when I see that something is amiss. Seriously, I could probably out-fangirl most of the people that are going to be pissed off at me (and in blatant denial) after reading this. I have listened (with studio monitors) to this performance about six times now. This next part is going to hurt some feelings. The hive-mind PTX fandom tumblr lurkers are probably going to roast me alive below. Oh well. *1.* Beyond a shadow of a doubt, parts of this performance are lip-synced to a pre-recording. I'm assuming that this was not by choice of the group. You have to realize that big-time producers of prime time television squeeze their margins of error so tightly for things like this, that they probably didn't give PTX a choice in the matter. Parts of it were cherry picked, and their mic gains were adjusted accordingly. Kudos to the guy running the sound. I'm sure he's paid accordingly. *2*. I KNOW what Avi sounds like when he performs live, I've heard him perform in person, and I know for a fact that he did not *flawlessly* copy and perform his solo from the studio recording. It's just not humanly possible. (although, if anyone could do it, it would either be him or Mitch) The timbre, the vocal inflections, the subtle nuances from that ONE take in the studio - It's all there. It's either a direct rip from the studio recording, or it's slightly remastered in an attempt to match the acoustics of this performance hall. Avi did *not* sing his solo live in this video. Sorry guys. They've had some absolutely outstanding live performances lately, but this was not all live. *3.* Scott tripped up a little bit on his entrance at 0:58. Watch his mouth closely. You heard "Da-da-duum" as Avi was about to sing, but you didn't see it from Scott. (and Kevin just doesn't have the range to hit a G2 without serious frying. He's a tenor, through and through.) Lip-sync! Granted, every note I hear afterwards is most definitely Scott, whether it be live or pre-recorded. He has a particular tone when he sings at the bottom of his range, as everyone does. Here's what was real: *1.* Scott's opening verse. That was legit. (They also wouldn't dare lip syncing someone whose face is zoomed in to the max from the beginning. Accidents can happen, as shown at 0:58) The melisma, the "riff ticks", everything. He has a knack for nailing it when it counts. *2.* I do not doubt that Scott sang the bass part during Avi's solo. I am fully aware of his range, and that he sings a D2 in "I Should Tell Ya Momma On You" He is probably capable of frying a low Db or C. *3.* The climax following 3:30 was, for the most part, totally live. Avi was a god here. *4.* Mitch's solo. At least until "It's a cold and it's a broken..." It's Mitch. 'Nuff said. I am a hardcore PTX fan, and I always will be. However, that does NOT reserve the right for me to make excuses for my favorite band when I know otherwise. In an instance like this, I just have to get over it, take a step back and think "wait a minute..." Then the reality hits, and I think "Oh. Primetime National T.V... If it was their choice, they'd do it totally live." Guys, you just have to remember that by participating, they're getting a lot of air time and exposure that a LOT of people will see. The producers of the program pretty much have the final say in what transpires and how things go at these events. That is all. Remember to be civil. We all love PTX, and we have way too many reasons to be happy and just move on. Keep calm, and sing on :)

Still my favorite version of this song

Been awhile. Miss this group

OK BUT SCOTT AND THEM BASS NOTES THOO!

When Avi sings the lead, Scott does the bass part. He can also sing high. Scott's got a hhuuugeee vocal range.

i feel like i could just listen to a loop of kirstin's and mitch's parts forever.

Avi sings the bass is absolutely beautiful.

Does anyone still watching pentatonix in 2019 ? 💖💖💖

Mitch got some mad talents

Das ist das schönste an der Weihnachtszeit, die Songs mit ❤und die wundervollen Stimmen

How lucky the audience were! Wish I was there.

Holy shit Kirstie is beautiful and her voice makes me melt

The black guy is a living drum set!

This never fails to bring a tear to my eye…in the best possible way! It is so beautiful and they perform it with SUCH passion!!!

Every single individual in this group is so talented but definitely have put in the work to be this good. They're wonderful.

To all the people who think they're lip syncing you are completely wrong Scott changed his part with a bit of vibrato in a couple of places and his voice goes raspy at 03:22 I have seen them live and seen Scott cover the bass on Standing By which Avi sings the lead on. They are amazing better than any other singers I have ever heard sheer vocal beauty.

Avi's voice is smooth like butter, sleek like his hair too

Best song I have ever heard!!!!! I have never heard ANY group blend and mix the way that Penentonix does !!!!!

Hallelujah 🙌🏾. This is The Best I've ever heard it done...HALLELUJAH 🙌🏾

I know 99% of the people wont read this, but for the 1%: I wish you a Merry Christmas!

Avi will always be missed. He has such a presence and his voice just resonates and reverberates so well almost like a cello or double bass.

Great job Pentatonix..i love you all...my 1 year old daughter doesn't sleep without listening ur songs and she tries to sing with you...u all are amazing...u all are blessed... more prayers, love and blessings

It takes me to another world 🥺

THE FACT THAT THIS IS ACTUAL LIVE SINGING WITHOUT ANY LIP SINGING YET IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STUDIO VERSION MAKES ME REALIZE THAT THEY HAVE SO MUCH TALENT OH MY G O D

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A LIVE........

i just can't w/you guys... this combo of pentatonix talent & this song. Holy moly. each one of you individually give me everything i ever wanted in life. in this moment. voices of angels. and i hear you long brown hair guy.. you all give me true talent chills along w/the chills this song already brings - pure heavenly pain and bliss oiii i feel it. every bit of it. THANK YOU

I have missed this group so much You guys should do a come back Your songs and voices are soul lifting

🔮~🔮 Avi's beard looks so fluffy... I wanna touch it.

Dang I miss Avi, his low notes give so much rich emotion when he sings. Chills

One of my favorite versions of Hallelujah.❤️

This is my favorite version of Hallelujah ❤ These voices are amazing😊

The thing that amazed me the most about this video was actually the crowd. They just stood there with the 'candles' and enjoyed the music. No one thad their phone out, which is so rare nowadays.

Honestly, Kirstie doesn't get enough credit. She sings so amazingly here while being to project all those emotions. Damn she just draws me in.

Love this group especially this song

I so mis Avi singing with this group! He is amazing & his voice cannot be replaced!❤😢

Sometimes I forget that this is "only" acapella.

scott singing bass lol xD

Nisam skoro cula ovako dobrih glasova na jednom mestu bravo za ekipu

Goose bumps every time! Love this version and them!!!
