Haters will be haters. The internet is full of them. The true Pentaholics will never throw negativity/hate at you. Never. We Pentaholics really enjoy seeing others be amazed, and in awe as we were seeing them for the first time. As others have said, just be you. I hope you have a great set of Holidays. My wife never really like "Little Drummer Boy" but she loves PTX's version. The won there 2nd Grammy for "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy". I look forward to seeing your reaction to that one.

The humility of the drummer boy feeling he had nothing to give baby Jesus. When the boy gave of himself and played his drum, baby Jesus smiled, and was pleased. So aught we to give of ourselves.

"Little Drummer Boy" has been a Christmas favorite of mine for years, and for me, PTX's version is the best!

It's impossible to say which PTX member touched me the most. Each had their part, and all were magnificent! 🥁

Avi. (He surprised me) Too-too good. We have the serious Barry in this video, all professional like. Do you see what I mean about the background in the video? Imagine them singing this song, meaningful and why we have Christmas in the first place, standing in front of bright Christmas colors with gifts and ornaments? Takes away from the lyrics. This was a perfect background... Unlike "Did you hear what I hear" w/Whitney. Nostalgia is right, Barry. The simplicity of the video, the powerful lyrics, it all takes me back. Thanks for the reminder.

Who touched me most with their vocals.... Scott and Avi. I like that each member got to sing their part, and especially nice to hear Kevin sing. LOVE this Pentatonix version of this beautiful song! 💖

Your eyes were sweating, don't worry, mine do to with a lot of the songs from Pentatonix

*Barry:* This is from their Christmas album. *Everyone:* Sorry, you're going to have to be more specific.

I've said it before and will say it again: You do not hear Avi Kaplan's bass, you FEEL it.

I love the part of this song when Kevin sings and says: shall I play for you .. then starts his drum beatboxing

I'm so glad I'm not the only grown a$$ man that cried at this masterpiece.

The Little Dummer Boy was written in 1941 by Katherine K. Davis. If curious look her up. She taught me piano lessons when I was a child. Yes, I am old. She was an amazing musician. Pentatonix remind me of all the Christmas Carols we used to sing around the town Christmas tree. In a magical year the snow would start falling and the happy children would go to bed knowing we would have a brilliant snowy Christmas. So long ago and so far away. Pentatonix Carols are THE BEST.

Barry, I will quote you about Pentatonix, listening to them is like going to church. They are flawless.

As the saying goes, "Those that matter don't mind. And those that mind don't matter!" So please, just keep on being yourself!! You ARE appreciated!! 🤗 💞

In the words of Scott Hoying of PTX, "I know [the video] is doing well. It is getting hate already!" You are doing well, my internet friend.

It was appropriate PTX's own drummer boy was front center forward for the video.

Please don’t ever stop reacting honestly about music. This is just one of the things I LOVE about your reactions!

Dear Barry, I have sons your age. You have the most amazing spirit and I love spending time with you and your videos. Thank you for bringing me so much joy during such a lonely time in our world. God bless you.

I'm so thankful for all the men out there who know and trust their emotions and aren't afraid to show them.

Avi's vocals ALWAYS touch my heart! Really wish you would react to his solo music, I think you would be VERY surprised by what you hear!

Unfortunately there are insecure people in this world who don't feel good unless they are hurting someone. I love your reactions, Barry😊 This is going to be a fun Christmas watching PTX with you. I've been a fan of them since their first appearance on the Sing-Off in 2011.

I'm 56 years old. I've been a music fan all my life. I am professionally trained on piano. I am self-taught on guitar, bass guitar, harmonica and trumpet. I played in a jazz big band in college and moonlighted in a rock band for a few years at the beginning of my career in the TV production industry. I have thousands of records in my collection spanning all genres of music. I have NEVER in all of that time come across a musical act who can touch all gamuts of my emotions in EVERY song the way that Pentatonix does. I mentioned in an earlier comment that they are from my home state of Texas, yet I didn't find out about them until the pandemic was under way. I'm REALLY embarrassed by that...but while I was late to the party, I'm very much here now. And I am proud to call myself a Pentaholic!! Their new single/video drops today. I'll be heading to their channel to check it out right after I finish typing this comment!

You have to look at Avi Kaplan. You know the bass boy. he's making his own music now. it's soo good

My first experience with PTX. 10 years ago. Hooked ever since.

This was absolutely beautiful! 🥰They sounded amazing. As for your question, I'm torn between Scott and Avi. But all of their performances were moving. 💜 I really enjoyed your reaction.☺️ 🎅🏻🎄🎁🦌🛷❄️⛄

I cry every time I hear this song. The lyrics alone bring the tears when “the Ox and Lamb kept time” and then the sings “I played my best for him ba-rump-pa-bum-bum”.

I have heard a lot of groups in my life but the original Pentatonix they have my heart I wish Avi had never left

This group deserves everything that is beautiful in this world!!!! Thank you for this review and the kind words...

Kristin !! 👍💕

“Brassy boy” 🤣. Love listening to his reviews!

I will be spending more time with you BARRY...BECAUSE I SO ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY AND HOW YOU SAY IT...YOU KNOW YOUR MUSIC AND HOW TO GET IT TO US. THANK YOU MY MAN.

This song was near the bottom of my list of favored Chrismas Carols. Pentatonix's version elevated it to near the top.

First Noel by Pentatonix is amazing. You need to react to that too

Barry, you have the most beautiful eyes!!!😊

Barry you don't have to apologize we get it when music is beautiful it should move you. When music no longer brings you happiness that is when one has to throw in the towel

Dear Barry, look forward to your reactions from the heart. You have become my number 1 reactor. Thank you for making my day so enjoyable.

This is the only version on Little Drummer Boy i like. It gives me goosebumps every time! I love watching your reactions. Pure joy!

I'm with you on the tears of mixed emotions they've interned my heart.

I sang the Little Drummer boy when i was about 5 years old at our church at the time. My dad played drums for a band and he also played the drum when I sang. He passed when I was 9. This song brings memories and emotions for me too!

I love Barry: "Felt like a hug."

They are soooo powerful! Always my go to for when I want to feel something meaningful.

Barry, I love your reactions to Pentatonix. I know you've heard this a thousand times. Let me add a little love by saying thanks. Mark

Thanks for starting my day in such a sweet way! So glad you are staying with us. Pay no attention to the bad comments you don’t deserve them! Today PTX drops the video for Thank You (original song!) from the new Christmas album. Being one of their Patreon’s I already have seen it. It is wonderful! Everyone is in for a treat, don’t forget the tissues tho!

After that I need to hug Barry so much joy on his face.

Hi Barry, Pentatonix - Silent night is another beautiful song. Every time when I listen to that song I’m in tears... (And I’ve been a Pentaholic since 2015) 😅 and I still am of course

I love all of their songs especially Mary Did You Know!!

Each voice is a gift, a shining light, together they are a powerful beacon. Nothing short of Miraculous!

Just beautiful Barry. The singers are excellent. Crying again. Thank you

Have you heard Amazing Grace/My Chains are Gone yet? I cry every time I hear it.

Mary did you know & The sound of silence will both blow you away!

Berry a friend of mine said if shops played Christmas music like this he would like Christmas shopping. That sounds brilliant to me

Something I think we millions of Pentaholics are truly aware of but the general public doesn’t quite grasp, is that Pentatonix isn’t just singing a cover (or even an original). No, they are CREATING art! Yes, they are genius artists not just singers, and each of their creations is a miniature masterpiece! Despite increasing fame I can’t get it out of my mind that they’re still under appreciated. They’ve won three Grammys, but they should have won more-“Hallelujah” comes to mind. And despite the nine years of experience since the Sing Off, there has been no decrease in the artistry of PTX. Everything has been of extremely high quality- from the AvI era through to The Matt era today! Incredible growth! Kirstie is blowing me away today; she belts just like the boys now! Following this band has been nothing but a joy! Long live PTX!

Barry, it's hard to say which voice touched me the most in this video, since their vocals are all stellar. I would have to say, though, that Kevin really stood out here, with his incredible beat boxing and angelic voice. Merry Christmas!

I love that description. "Sounds like a hug, a loving hug." Exactly.

Tears too hun. I agree, so beautiful.

This song is my first love of all their wonderful music. I know I have listened to it more than 600 times since the first day it came out and I still tear up.

I love the 'It's Barry' introduction music. Old school cool.

First Noel and Silent Night are good ones. Most of them are good and fairly traditional. I like the duet in this between the baritone, Scott, and the bass. Avi. One of the first if not the first appearance of the beatboxer, Kevin, as also a high tenor singer. Avi being bass and "pure" that's his opera training.

Beautiful..🌹.... Just beautiful. What a gift that GOD has given them......

For King & Country has an awesome version of the Little Drummer Boy. I think it’s my favorite.

Such beauty...sung to me and from above me. They are all true gifts from God.

how music can make people feel such emotion at the same time! a borderless connection! It is magic ! Long live the music and thank you Barry🍀 for bringing us together 😍

This was the 1st. Pentatonix song I ever heard. I listened to it over and over. Perhaps you feel the emotions you do cause God is trying to reach you. God really does love you Berry that why he sent His Son that first Christmas morning.

Hola! Being emotional is being human and vice versa, as simple as that What I love the most of this amazing group is their ability to transform (many times, upgrade) and deliver a very well known song with a "something else", adding their modern twists on it but being very respectful with the original feeling of the song. It's obvious they are incredible talented singers, but their arrangements choices are even more amazing. I'm very glad to have found them and be witness of their growth and evolution. Many of their songs are part of my regular music collection nowadays. See you in the next one

The beatbox is just astounding. To take on a song where the drum is so prominent like that is difficult.

This is my favorite by them because it takes me back to my childhood and I'm five years old again. Plus, it really showcases the beat-boxing, which I feel never gets enough credit.

LOVE your reactions!!! For pure joy, listen to O Come All Ye Faithful; for pure fun, listen to You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen; for sweetness, Where Are You Christmas and That's Christmas to Me. And so many more, they're just amazing...

Another person fallen under their spell welcome Barry: think you would love Run to you. Not a Christmas song but you may like be prepared.

Barry loved it . Now Amazing Grace is a must. ❤❤

That was beautiful 😍 😮😮🙏🇬🇧❤️

Most beautiful voices this side of heaven! Greatest acapella ever. Amazing! Thanks blessings

It takes a true MAN to show emotion. I love your reviews. #1 reactor for me.

I can't listen to this song without crying.

So... I get emotional watching you get emotional 😅😂 It's so lovely to see you open your heart to music, and let your feelings shine through. And Barry? You have a very beautiful voice 🌞 Sing more!

You got me, I just boarded the Barry bus, lol. Love Pentatonix !

The song puts you right into the scene itself. You can feel the manger scene Almost touch the surroundings of the animals and people there. God born into his very creation and surrounded by them!. Thanks blessings

So glad you did this song. When I first discovered it years ago, I felt like I’d waited my whole life for this particular rendition of the song. And it still remains my favorite holiday song from them ♥️

Barry, they just released November 5 Amazing Grace. It will bring you to your knees it is so beautiful!!!!

Keep on just the way you are. It’s so loving to see see a real man be a real man

These people are something special, aren't they?

This group is a precious gift to the world!

A loving hug for you, Barry, our excellent driver =)

Barry, keep doing what you do! The world needs more people like you.

I just heard Scott recently say that they almost didn't release this video. They did not really care for how it turned out,but eventually went ahead and released it. Crazy tidbit.

MARVELOUS

I feel like you do about them. They are a musical bouquet!

I think you will really love their arrangement of “Carol of the Bells”.

You have to listen to their brand new song Thank You. It will make you cry!!! It’s incredible!! It’s an original song written by Scott and his bf Mark. It’s off the new Christmas album. Trust me you will LOVE it!!

As a performer I'm sure you know what you're doing when you look directly into the camera. Your emotions are transfered and amplified. You shed a single tear and mine run down my face.

Friendship touches the heart, music touches the soul!

Gorgeous !!! Them and you! Gli ho scoperti tanti anni fa e sono rimasti miei artisti preferiti per canti Natalizi. Tu invece sei meraviglioso sempre. 🎉

Their Silent Night in the church nave is insane.

It's okay Barry...I cried with you🙂...love from italy!!♡

Aren't they amazing 💕💕💕

Nice arrangement. Barry, thanks for not interrupting!

On this Christmas Eve congratulations Barry on 200,000 views! Great song by Pentatonix and a lovely reaction by our B☘.

You definitely need to watch their Amazing Grace version. It's breathtaking.

I feel like this song has great meaning for you. Thanks for the great reactions.

those voices aren't just beautiful voices , they're instruments of what music should be , an ability to communicate with emotion , and they've mastered it .
