It's Jess, I'm an opera singer who does a performance analysis on Pentatonix's version of Hallelujah. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER:
I don't believe this song is about the birth of Jesus Christ, which is what Christmas is about. However, I believe it gets categorized in the Christmas song category because of its title and its references to biblical figures and events. I know the meaning of the song can be confusing. I found a great article from Rolling Stone giving meaning and understanding to the song. Check it out:

First i have to say, i am a massive PTX fanboy. They are crazy talented, and the music group i listen to the most, for the last couple of years, but. The stomping in this particular performance has to be pre recorded. There is no way to get that of a consitent sound (quality and the small effects on the stomp) while he is walking, and doing it on different places of the floor, with the sneakers he is wearing. As i said, they are crazy talented, but they are still human. Sorry ... *duck* :)

@Haghenveien 3 жыл бұрын

@@garionth Yes, but even if the sound itself it's prerecorded (I agree that it's difficult to make that sound while wearing sneakers) he's stomping his foot at the right moments. You don't see his foot going one way and the sound another. So that makes me think that he can do it, it's only that it's unlikely he would get enough resonance on that floor with that kind of shoes. I read a comment about him using a special mat at their concerts to get the sound. And it makes sense, flamenco dancers, for example, use something like that when the floor is not appropiate for the zapateado.

Scott always takes the bass line whenever Avi/Matt takes the lead. They rarely loop or overdub vocals in their recordings. Their motto is "don't record anything that we can't reproduce live". And you really NEED to see the official music video for this song. It is both sonically AND visually stunning. They've had amazing songs in their career, so just selecting one to recommend is difficult. Some of my personal favorites are Daft Punk, Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, Mr. Grinch and The Sound of Silence. They also have some incredible original songs as well.

It says a lot that so many of the PTX fans are professional singers themselves. Scott has something like a four octave range. One of the incredible strengths of this group is that they ALL have great ranges, and can cover for each other and do intricate melding of melodies that you wouldn't think possible. These five are simply not human. And then there's Mitch...

I just read in another comment that you would love to meet Kevin. If you don't already know, he was classically trained on the Cello and has appeared in Carnegie Hall at 18; plays saxophone and several other instruments; was taught by Scott and Avi to improve his singing; speaks several languages (including Mandarin); graduated Yale and was accepted into their Medical School, but opted out for Pentatonix (a story in itself). He's the true musical genius of this group (although each of them are super, super talented), and if you react to his solo version of "Down", you will be convinced !!

I just love this group and the depth of emotion they capture. When Avi and Mitch sing, inevitably I tear up. There is just something so beautiful and powerful to me about their voices and how they are able to capture and emote the emotion. Its soulful. They are all amazing. Kevin is so over the top talented its as you eluded, you just cant wrap your brain around everything he is doing let alone how he is doing it. Kirsty has been coming out of her shell and she's an angelic voice. Scott to me is the foundation. I heard someone else comment his voice is like honey and I thought yep that captures it. Thank you so much. Happy Holidays!

You could react to the Music Vid of this song (shot in a desert). Since they're syncing to a studio recording there, Kevin's chest-thumps on the leather jacket are amplified a little more. Other than that, the balance is pretty much the same. Christmas-themed: Mary Did You Know (from this same Avi era) or Amazing Grace (new). Light-hearted Christmas: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Non-Christmas-themed: Bohemian Rhapsody. Daft Punk. Say Something. Sound of Silence. Kevin Olusola may be the most talented group member. Graduated from Yale pre-Med, and from Berklee College of Music. Speaks English, Spanish, Mandarin. Plays multiple instruments. There's a YT vid of him playing sax at Carnegie Hall when he was a teenager. By some accounts, he invented celloboxing. And he's engineered some of PTX's studio recordings. [I've read that the group decided at the last minute before release to switch Hallelujah from Christian lyrics back to the originals, and they were outside the U.S. at the time, so they just found a studio and Kevin set everything up for them to cut the new version.] Here's a vid of Kevin in the studio, multi-tracking himself by pre-planned live looping. And there's others where this came from. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f62ampRqmM6Yf58.html

This is one of the best, most informative reactions to this version of PTX's Hallelujah that I've seen and I've seen a lot! Yes Scott always sings the bass line when Avi (and now Matt) sing their solos. His range is insane. Well to be fair they all have incredible range! Kevin is so unbelievably talented isn't he? If you haven't seen it, treat yourself to watching his cover of Marian Hill's Down. He sings, beatboxes and plays the electric cello on it. It's a musician's masterclass. I love them all but I'm a Mitch fan for life! His voice moves me sooooo much! I've been a Pentaholic since they started up in 2011 but only got to see them live for the first time this May in London. They were phenomenal. I can't believe what they can do with their voices. They so deserve their three Grammy's and their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Loved all your insight and it was fun to see someone familiar with PTX and this song but new to the visuals. But my favorite part was "shush audience!" 😆

Yup lol our boy Scott is a beast. He can hit those high notes and lower bass notes. He’s soooo talented such a beautiful voice

@Sweeney541 3 жыл бұрын

I love seeing people figure out that Scott takes over the bass. :) FYI it's not just in this song. Whenever Avi (and now Matt) sings the lead, it's Scott doing bass. One of the best examples is You're a Mean one Mr. Grinch. He also sings the bass lead on the first verse of their rendition of Sound of Silence. Scott has a huge vocal range - over 4 octaves - he sings bass, baritone as well as baritenor/tenor.

This was amazing! I look forward to more PTX breakdowns. I watch only PTX reactions, pretty much daily So many to react to, it's hard to make suggestions, but these are MY faves: -Wizard of Sash's with Todrick Hall -Come Along -Can't Hold Us -Daft Punk -Bohemian Rhapsody -Say Something -Sound of Silence -New Rules + Are You That Somebody Have you seen Kevin's cover of Down by Marion Hill? If not, you must, must, must! He is unearthly.

I loved your breakdown of this live performance! Your knowledge and breadth of musical interpretation is on keen display and I so appreciate it! I'm in love with this group. Each member brings a unique and personal spin of their own and it comes together rather brilliantly. Mitch in particular always stuns me; his voice always takes my breath away. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Cecilia Bartoli, Vivica Genaux and Sumi Jo! Thank you for this video and I'll keep on watching!!

@StarSong936 3 жыл бұрын

My first time seeing this song was their music video filmed at lake Bonneville. On the musical arrangement, my understanding it that Scott does most of that. He does get input from the other members of the group, but he does the final arrangement that they perform. I love their performance of "Be My Eyes" If you haven't seen it, look it up.

That was an awesome reaction!!! I love people explaining the technical parts in their arrangements. As long as it's the Christmas season please check out "God rest ye merry gentlemen" live at Jimmy Kimmel. It's amazing ❤️ Or my favorite ones Silent Night live. For me it's a perfect rendition and Avi is crazy good (they all are but for me he sticks out in this one)

Ah Jess, we Nightwish fans miss your reactions! Great, insightful and educational reaction to Pentatonix's stunning version of this classic. As usual, you point out aspects which I can miss, and your appreciation and enthusiasm is infectious. Now, perhaps a wee visit to Nightwish's repertoire....please?! 🙂

There are so many voice coaches and singers that do these reactions and they are so beyond layman's speak. I'm not saying you oversimplified it's just relatable your explanation. It makes us all see, hear, and enjoy the music on a higher level. Thank you. I've subscribed and look forward to future reaction.
