I absolutely LOVE this version WAY more than the original, and I can give you a very simple reason why. When Gaga & Cooper sing it, they are two actors in a movie who barely know each other singing a very deep and emotional song to each other. Kirstie & Scott, on the other hand, are two life-long friends who are VERY close, been thru a LOT together, and even dated for a while in high school before Scott came out. Who better to convey the real emotions of these lyrics than these two? As you said, watch the way they look at each other in this video. It is SO obvious that there is a lot of REAL love in those expressions. That's something that even the best movie actors can't express realistically.

No, you are wrong. Scott and Kirstie dated in high school before he came out as gay. They still adore each other and Scott posts their old dating pictures on his instagram on her birthday. If you watch their tour stuff you will see they have no problem singing to each other on stage and giggling together backstage. You rarely see friends that comfortable together.

This takes my breath, literally, every time I hear it. I just wish it was longer! I agree that Kirstie looks extra-gorgeous in this - harking back to her Latina roots, it suits her so well.

Strong emotion, equally difficult to harmonize sitting right next to each other, but then again.....it's Pentatonix!!

Their cover of Ed Sheeren’s Perfect is STUNNING. “Beyoncé” makes an appearance in that video as well, it doesn’t seem like many reactors do that one but I highly recommend it.

You should TOTALLY check out their PTXPERIENCE videos! They take you with them on tour and behind the scenes and they are so much fun!! I would love to see you react to them!!!! In one of them you actually get to go behind the scenes of this video and see that they actually shot two in the same day! If you do you should start at Summer 2018 Episode 1, then the Christmas tour, then the 2019 tour! PS I absolutely love when Scott and Kirstin look at each other in this it’s my favorite part, you can see the genuine love they have for each other!! Loved your reaction as always! 💙

I love this; you can really see Kirstie’s confidence grow, esp after her Broadway stint

My favorite in this video was Matt! His bass was awesome, perfect, and he did a bass slide in there that was nothing short of phenomenal!

Okay I mean it this time-this is one of my all time favorites 😂. I think it is better than the original, but that’s me. Kirstin sounds amazing! She owned it.

I just recently said on another reaction that one of the things that makes this special to me is that each of them gets showcased for what makes them unique. Kevin and Beyonce are a power couple, Matt's bass-line cannot go unnoticed, Scott is reveling in his full broody soulfulness, Mitch is dancing with angels and Kirstie reminds us yet again what a powerhouse she is. I feel like if you wanted a newcomer to understand the talent of these guys as individuals as well as a group, you could just send them this way.

You go Kirstie! Her range continues to impress. This arrangement is fantastic! Scott is marvelous! And the rest of the band shines in each and every moment. Another PTX upgrade!!!

Totally and utterly brilliant!!!!!! ~ thank goodness for you tube ~ thank goodness for pentatonix ~ thank goodness for Travis ~ Xxx Xxx

Lost on You is total 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥!!

For some reason I thought you had covered this a month ago. There is a behind the scenes video that shows between takes/shots Kirstin and Scott were goofing around a ton. I think it helps they have been friends for all their lives and tried dating as teens (after Kirstin broke up with Mitch but before he dated Scott) Both of them can be silly but they also know when to be serious, so that discipline kicks in too.

Looking forward to you delving into PTX Christmas music. SO much to choose from. A couple of favorites for me are "O Come All Ye Faithful" and ""Favorite Things". Of course all are amazing.

Silent Night is one of my all time favorites of theirs. But you have to watch the live version performed in a church. It literally sounds like angels are singing. Kirstie and Avi really shine in that one! ❤

I can't say enough about Kevin feeling the music on his cello and how he makes it sound like a SIXTH voice. Listen again to just that voice - brought me to tears.

That was made after doing wave through the window, while on tour,so hard working. PTXperence is back stage on their tours they are amazing to watch, tour 2018 and 2019 world tour are some to watch.

Love your shirt! Kirstin! She's got the greatest vibrato! Love the gold accents! Kirstin loves Scott so much and they are so good with their musical theater background. I think it probably wasn't a problem! Thanks for your reaction!

I’m not a big fan of the original (maybe just overplayed)…I absolutely love their version!

Good lord, I just love watching your reactions! You always seem to enjoy all these videos with such enthusiasm and I can't help but smile every time.😊 Thank you so much for giving us something to look forward to every day. I know I'm old enough to be your Mamma, but I have a feeling you'd still be so much fun to hang out with.😊👍❤️ Great reaction, by the way, love this version!😉

if you wanna see more of kirstie’s range, watch seasons of love their live performance, she has amazing vocals in that

Thanks for the Ptx! Keep it up with their remaining Sing Off recordings please! And for variety, Morgan James Dream on or Ain’t no way. And thanks for the laughs from your comments! You are the man.

So beautiful. Love Kirstie in this video. Her solo stuff is awesome. Great reaction. Thx Travis😎

I was listening to the future friends album today and I thought of you when heartthrob came on, you havent done that one yet right???? You should lol it cracks me up.

This is gorgeous!!!! There's so much emotion....

Yay!!! Thank you SO much for doing this song! It's one of my absolute favorites! Love your reactions!

This version is by far the absolute best. Blows everyone else out of the water! The cello was so poignant and appropriate for this song.

also recommend checking out the 'All to Me' video by shoshana bean and scott hoying! its incredible and will have you in tears

Great reaction, Travis!! I love this arrangement of the song. Especially Mitch's part. Thanks for reacting.

Yes! I love this one!

Knew you’d love this one. ☺️. Check out ‘Stay with Me’ by Rozzi with Scott and Mitch. Rozzi is a good friend of Scott’s and they have collabed a few times. Her voice is fantastic.

That was stunning indeed. They are magical.

That was awesome

You hit my favorite!! They knocked this one out of the park!!!

Another great reaction! Love that you caught the gold so quick. 💛 (Nice shirt.) Just plugging "My Favorite Things" sometime close to Halloween. 🎃

Hi Travis. How about another Brian Justin Crum. I think you’ll love his cover of Elton John’s Your Song. I know I’ve mentioned it in the past. Also Scott’s duet with Mario Jose singing Lost on You.✌️💚

Oh wow!!! This Arrangement is just bad ass!!!.Phenomenal!

I love how you love them!! Please react to their "Sound of Silence" and "Imagine" you will love them, I promise!

Hahahaha Mullet Mitch is my favourite Mitch (tied with every other Mitch). So so so excited for you to start reacting to their Christmas music!!! Especially Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman. Happy listening! :)

I'd imagine that it definitely took them at least several tries. But that's what makes them great! They keep going and work so hard (of course, their talent helps a little) to give us brilliance! And yes, Kirstin looks stunning (and sounds even better) in this video

Love this! Thanks for another great reaction!

The gold jewelry and fixtures showing as color against the black-and-white filming is a throwback to the posters for the movie, which were all black-and-white with the only color being the gold lettering in the words "A Star Is Born".

You should react to Mitch doing Graveyard! I am a HUGE Mitch fan but l really want your opinion on it, good or bad.

"come on, Mullet Mitch" is my new favorite saying

Did you catch the bad romance homage on Beyonce? The trio all love each other and have grown up together, supporting each. Scott and Mitch call themselves kirstie's girls.

It appears that when Kirstie and Scott make eye contact while singing they feel so intimate and connected that they experience a connection with each other that few people feel with another. I believe that through their years together they have a connection that most people long for. The neat thing is that neither feels embarrassed or threatened by the closeness they share. I believe they both treasure it. Both Kirstie and Mitch have a connection with Mitch because of their past. That connection will last for the rest of their lives. The other thing that you said was "Kirstie........Whoa!" I concur. Point 5 seconds is enough to be affected by her on camera.

Hmm, 🤔 wonder if Travis thinks Kirsten is pretty? 💗💗 Speaking of Kirsten … Be my Eyes - written and leads this song. Run To You written by Avi and Kevin. No beatboxing… Thanks as always, Travis!! ☮️

This is up there near the top of my favorites list. It's so emotional and gripping. I pretty much live under a rock and had never heard the original, but I did after hearing this, and I just keep coming back to PTX's version. Kirstin's cry in her voice is so compelling, Kevin's playing is just so smooth, Scott's grit and rawness melt my heart, then Matt's insane bass rattles whatever is left! But I'll always end with my Mitchy and the flawless execution of everything he sings!

Great way to start my day! Was excited when I saw you'd done this one. Love everything about this, its so classy. Kirstie is stunning and I adore Mitch's part too. I just love your reactions and your love for them too. Can't wait to see what's next 😊

That was great! They are always amazing. Gotta know that by now.

Kirstie has a range that far surpasses most female singers. This really shows off her alto side. And Travis pulled a stank face! (I do that sometimes too)

No, it’s better than the original. I believe the trio have a special friendship from their long association with each other. Recommend their Rather Be, My Favorite Things, Popspring 2016 live 4 song set, Why Try by Forte featuring Kirstie, and It’s Different Now.

Superb reaction. PTX always delivers. Still waiting on you to do more "recorded vs live". Then do some Christmas music - O Come All Ye Faithful, 12 Days of Christmas, Mary Did You Know, That's Christmas to Me. Must do these before the new Christmas album comes out on October 29! Then you will have new songs!

Omg finally!! Been waiting for this! Love it! Now you need to do Perfect.

I have officially become a pentaholic! And I love watching you and your reactions. My kids are loving it too! 🔥🔥

Haha you said Mullet Mitch!!!

React to Kevin Olusola - Sign of the times (Harry Styles Cover) Not to be annoying with the repeat requests

This is so great One I don’t think you have done that is equally great is “New rules x are you that someone “”

I really enjoy their original Anchor. Mitch really shines.

Finally!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Of all of their videos where Beyoncé makes an appearance, and there are only maybe a dozen, this is by far my favorite. I love the tone and smoothness of his cello playing. I also think this is on of the better examples of his cello boxing. The rest of the group are their usual terrific selves. I do like their version better than the original even though I’m a big Lady Gaga fan.

I love when they take the cover of a song and kill the original ! They do it time after time, but this one is by far the best one over the original ❣

Beautiful rendition of Shallow, Kirsten and Scott killed it. The others as well. Suggestion...Charice Pempengco singing All by myself w/David Foster accompanying on piano. Fantastic!

Yes Perfect is just perfect for your next reaction.

This is so beautiful 😍 💖

You are rockin that beard, looks great! Thank you for this reaction, it is my favorite of theirs and I love seeing other people enjoy it.

Check out Qofyreacts channel. He also calls them "aliens" and especially Mitch. He uses the word "alien" a lot in his reaction to "I Just Called to Say I Love You" by PTX.

Please check out this one ,...Standing by - (HD Performance/ Toyota Oakdale Theatre, Wallingford, March 2015) Pentatonix. It's an older one but very beautiful and features Avi . Thanks

If you haven't covered "Say Something" yet, you must! Its hauntingly beautiful! Kirstie has the lead and Kevin & Beyonce are in it!!

Oh Travis, Travis, Travis!!! I actually think I love you lol!!! Not only do I adore your PTX reactions, and I’ve watched them over and over and over again, but the absolute beauty of you as a person just radiates and bursts through every video. One tiny, tiny, tiny little thing (acknowledge that this video is a year old so you may have corrected), but please please stop calling her KIRSTY, it’s KIRSTIN. 😘😘

Love this 1 👍🏻😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We stan Beyoncé!! We love when Beyoncé makes an appearance. She always pops off🤭😌 they said that they wanted to have the mv be in b&w with gold popping through to make it more simplistic and elegant!

Wonderful reaction! This is one of a favorite songs by PTX. With Halloween and Christmas coming you should react to "Making Christmas" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas". It covers both holidays.

I checked your playlist against Pentatonix' list of videos and just looked at the older ones that I liked to see what was missing. I'm sure I'm ignoring some that are other people's favorites but meh. :D "Rather Be" is similar in energy to "Sing." I'm certain you would love it. Also, "New Rules x Are You That Somebody" mashup is just a fantastic display of Kevin and Matt stealing the show in the first 20 seconds. Missing from your list: Somebody That I Used to Know Carol of the Bells Little Drummer Boy (these are the only two purely Xmas music videos I'll mention in this list) Save the World/Don't You Worry, Child Royals (Lorde cover) La La Latch Where Are Ü Now? No Attention Aside from "New Rules," these are all pre-Matt. I'm avoiding the newer stuff or this list would be 70 names long. I'm also not listing the "non-video" ones that I really love.

I love that PTX usually gives a nod to the original artist in their arrangements; did you catch the "Bad Romance" quote (at 5:37 of your video)?

Scott and Kirstin are really Great Friends. But there is a 'Special' Love between them as Friends. Go back and look, there are dozens of videos of where Scott and Kirstin give each other dozens of Extra Special 'Looks' at each other. Last example "Seasons of Love". Each give Heart Melting Looks to each other...

l really don't have a favorite....they are all so good

Did you catch the Bad Romance tune threaded through there near the end?? They did an incredible job and everything was working for her physically there, but I think she's MOST beautiful in Attention, personally. Christmas really is going to be fun. Thank You, Winter Wonderland, Silent Night, Favorite Things, and Mary, Did You Know are all worth checking out for that season. You know I'm always going to suggest Jinjer if you want to listen to other artists, starting with their Pisces live one take. Jack White is always good, you should check out The Raconteurs when he was with them, they were great!! There's so much music I love, but it's mostly out of date now lol.

You never disappoint 🤩🤗

I love your reactions. I love how you can pick up and point out each of the members little moments in the song that a lot of other reactors miss! And yes Kevin is a beast. It blows my mind that he can beatbox and play cello at the same time. Still holding out for a Run to You reaction. Pretty please with a cherry on top?

When I had seen this video dropped I was really taken back an amazed at how much kirstin has grown vocally especially her vibrato, it's so warm and rosey if you get what I mean. Matt's voice is very warm too but more like a fireplace and a cup of coco type warm 😂 but this is prolly one of my favs of all time as well for sure!

No. PTX version is so much better than the original. It is sung with much more passion and intensity! And Mitch at the end…YES!!!!💕

Need to warn me when you drop a PTX reaction! Couldn’t click fast enough. 😀

Another great song that they do with Kevin and Beyonce is Perfect. It's so underrated but I love it.!

If you want to watch something totally fun and different, and see Kirstie look stunning yet again, check out Come Along (if you haven't already). 😍

As far as solo works from PTX members go, I'd recommend either Kevin's cover of Down by Marian Hill, or Scott's cover of Wake me up by Avicii. Great reaction!

Not 100% sure you’ll see this BUT I think you should react to The Sugababes - Caught in a moment live reload session. Their a UK group who were really big in the early 2000s. The original members are reunited and had reissued their first album as a 20th anniversary gift to the OG fans. They’re working on new material as well.

I’d love to hear them - or just Kirstie - do “I’ll Never Love Again.” I agree with the comment about this particular song being overplayed, but in 5 to 10 years, I believe we’ll be swooning again when we hear it.

Brian Justin Crum does a cover of this which is INSANE

Great reaction. Thanks. Another reminder, please react to "New Rules x Are You That Somebody?"

Haha had the same thought with ptx feat Beyonce 🤣 great reaction as always, I love this song because it's one of those where pretty much everyone shows off what he can do! And pleeeaaaaase don't let me wait any longer for Moon River, it'll be sooo nice!

Please react to Run to you. It's beautifully haunting. Absolute favorite. I'll always be a pentaholic

you should react to claire crosby and her family! she sang this song with her dad and it was incredible!

Hello there! Watching right now!!

I know you have reacted to some of the Pentatonix videos from the Sing Off Season 3. Well in Sing Off Season 4 there were two groups that I fell in love with. Home Free, the first a capella country group (just a hint... as a general rule I don't like country, but I love these guys!) and a young Highschool group with an amazing sound, called Vocal Rush. I would love to see your reactions to that highschool group!

I think you'd like Superfruit's "Future Friends" There are two different videos, one with Brian Robert Jones Choir remix, one without, both give testament to an extraordinary friendship

Remember that comment about upgrades? lol

And Kevin on Cello🌹 and beatboxing

5:37 did anybody else hear the bad romance little reference?
