I love Geoff, but I also really enjoyed the precision, energy, musicality, and selection of tones in Ashley's buildup and descending run starting around 2:50
1. Layne, needs to sing more because his voice is angelic 2. Geoff, killing those high/low notes 3. Eli, over here slaying everything that comes out of his mouth 4. Cesar, being the amazing addition that he is 5. Ashley, MISS GIRL save some talent for the rest of us
I think I could expect this song acapella, since it's originally styled as Hassidic/cantor-like (unaccompanied) singing - but barely in modern style acapella. And I agree with the rest.
Very simple. He’s not human. 🤣 All jokes aside I love VoicePlay. They are just so good and their rendition of songs are great. I prefer them to Pentatonix. My sister loves Pentatonix so that’s how I heard of them and liked their earlier stuff but ever since they became famous they changed. Their earlier stuff was better in my own opinion. VoicePlay on the other hand hasn’t changed their style and that’s what makes them so great.
I like that they're singing this as normal folks dreaming about being rich. Makes the song so much more enjoyable. When it's some huge pop star performing a song like this, I usually find myself grumpily thinking: Whaddya mean "if" I were rich? 😅
Man this song takes me back to a class I had in middle school called music appreciation. We watched movies like Fiddler on the Roof, The Sound of Music and some other old movies that had a lot of singing in them.
Holy crap, I've never heard of this lovely lady before but that riff at 2:53 was absolutely insane. I don't know if people reading this know how hard it is to riff UP like that but it is not easy, and she didn't JUST riff up. Like, it's obviously impressive when you listen to it but WOW!
those vocal chords hurt like a mfer, i can come somewhat close to his low notes but after a while of trying my throat tightens up so much i can barely speak. practice makes perfect but im my case it makes me wanna cry outta pain lmao.
One of the things I just realized that I love so much about Voiceplay is that they have lots of flavor and solos and breaks, but they still retain the fun and essence of the original song. That's not an easy thing, but they do it every time.
@@laundrygoddess4 why should I hush? I'm defending J. The person I replied to deleted their comment, but they were telling J to "shut up and speak proper English"
Oh man .. just how ... wow thats fantastic😊😌🎧🎵 Geoff come on that is not fair, good looking, funny and you have a voice that is heavenly good🤯🤩 3:14 LOVE that part❤️😊😌
Every single time I turn this video on, the second she hears Geoff, my 7 month old daughter stops anything she's doing and watches the entire video. She doesn't do that with any other song/show/artist. She freaking loves this song and you guys!
I've got to say, I'm so glad that Cesar is part of Voiceplay now. This video is a perfect illustration of how he's the kind of guy that makes everybody want to smile and laugh just by having a smile on his own face, and I'm so excited that we get to see more of that. Also, his voice is beautiful, and I hope they come out with a piece or two that has him leading the singing, just to show off his amazing talent.
My mom is a lifetime fan of acapella, but sadly she is also looking to slough this mortal coil. Your timing on releasing this is all but perfect as it allows me to give her a parting gift before she leaves.
This is a stellar arrangement and performance!!! The harmonies from Ashley, Eli and Cesar are phenomenal. Layne's beatboxing is...inhuman as usual. Just...how?! Geoff killed it on the lead, and that bassline during the breakdown 👏 Cesar and Eli crushing it! And Ashley, woo girl! Incredible! Loved every minute of this, and it's going to be stuck in my head for the next 10,000 years! 💗
I'm over here thinking the same thing. Every night I go to bed with this song stuck in my head. I listen to it in the morning, first thing. I'm like a sad lil Voiceplay junkie, is all...
I keep coming back to this one. I wish y’all would do more traditional broadway or musicals with an updated sound. This version is incredible. And Ashley Diane needs invited back over and over. Incredible voice.
What an absolutely sensational arrangement and performance -- so creative, so innovative, so interesting. And brava to Ashley coming on the scene like a wrecking ball -- can't wait to hear more from her. Just recorded my first time reaction to this and will be uploading next week! Cheers.
When the whistling hit, I entered another dimension. Geoff hitting that insane note that hits the subs better and cleaner than the most bass heavy trap remixes do. Splendid
Layne: over-the-top good arrangement. The entire group outdid itself vocally. Keep that female singer...get her in the group, I mean. And Eli...I don't know how you do it, but you're a show-stealer!
@@barnabasjthomas9983 This is my first time hearing her so I don't know how much auto-tuning she needs. The group uses it, yes, but the adjustments aren't large, generally. Would they feature a singer that required large adjustments for solo and part harmony? Maybe, but I doubt it.
@@barnabasjthomas9983 There's a vocal effect on her voice a time or two, but I'm hearing a deliberate effect - not autotune/pitch correction. It's like the reverb on Geoff's voice at 1:16. Pretty sure he can't make his voice suddenly sound like it's echoing in a cave, ha. They're creative choices, not correcting errors.
2 minutes, 58 secs.... "What?" I almost fell out of my chair!! And Geoff? Just casually dropping that F1 bomb that rattled my head (I'm used to it). The beat boxing??? Insane. Sick. Fire. Wow.... pick your compliment. Superb piece. One of their best!
I am excited to see this and especially see Cesars first video as an official member I am so excited man this was so amazing an amazing rhythm and Geoff did awesome leading this one amazing job guys and I hope Cesar had a fantastic time with his first song as a member and Ashley was incredible she had an amazing voice
I am certain that if someone who didn't regularly listen to voiceplay heard this, they wouldn't realize that at 3:23 the whole line is just geoff. I think the listener would think the song went like this One band member: "If I were a wealthy..." another band member: "Maaaan" this was an overcomplicated way of saying that Geoff has got amazing vocal range.
Ashley Diane sings with the Voices of Liberty in Epcot at Disney. We heard her there in June, she has a phenomenal voice! Great song and arrangement as always, keep it up!
Amazing arrangement Layne; Geoff eating low notes for breakfast; Eli and Cesar killing the background; and did Ashley descend from the heavens - HOLY COW! - she slayed!!
I recently found Voice Play this year and this is by far my favorite of theirs. I love them all but this once tops it. It helps the Geoff has a lot of solo’s in this. Geoff is my favorite but they are all great.
Yeah I was thinking he was gonna go super low. But then he went super high. Needless to say, my jaw dropped. Good lord the vocal range on that man never ceases to amaze me.
takes alot of practice and pain but with the right voice you can hit those notes too. im not a professional in any way but i have been practicing all kinds of notes throughout my life and whenever i try to nail geoffs notes my vocal chords feel like they want to give up life. i can do about 20-30 minutes of those notes and my throat gets too tight to barely even speak normally.
I bet there is a really cool backstory about when Ashley says “what?” after The Run. I imagine when they were practicing it everybody just stood around and stared at her like 😮😮😮😮
This is awesome...love to hear Geoff using his range. Everybody does wonderful solos in this, and I especially like Ashley's "what" at 2:58 as if to say that unbelievable riff she just did is no big deal.
That last "If I were rich I'd bi-di bidi bum" by Cesar is just giving me LIFE! It somehow *sounds* exactly like the little shimmy he does in the video. Love it! 🔥
Thank you for a mind-blowing song. Ashley Diane was a spectacular guest singer...more of her please please please. Geoff staggering as usual. Cesar a lock, yay! Eli totally on point. Lane knocking it out of the park. Thank you all.
I like this song. (Been jammin it since high school.) I did something like what she did with the run, but a different run, obviously, in front of my friends, and said what, just like she did. That's pretty funny. 😁
Geoff’s range!!! Holy cow!
I’m listening on repeat, I just loooove Ashley's energy and smile, and of course, Geoff's bass voice, which never misses to give me goosebumps ❤
If I was a wealthy woman, I'd finance and support Acapella groups like VoicePlay. They deserve all the best!
TRUE! I love these men and women, I’m also fortunate to have a voice similar to Geoff’s, so the bass-lines are mine when I redo these with my lads!
🥰
I am a Patreon, and I think US$ 2,00 per song is really well spent!
Absolutely!!!
No. A capella groups like Voiceplay are doing just fine financially on their own. Even individually
I love Geoff, but I also really enjoyed the precision, energy, musicality, and selection of tones in Ashley's buildup and descending run starting around 2:50
the AUDACITY from Ashley to do that run then go... WHAT? lol insane man
I really like Geoff's facial expressions here
If you guys do a cover of Toss A Coin To Your Witcher with Geoff as Geralt, the fans are gonna explode
Geoff as lead, other vocal slow melodic and built up into fast pace with spooky vibe.
I'd be ok exploding that way BRING IT!
Oh, but we would die SO happy! LOL
Oh my, wouldn’t that be awesome!
Also troo
1. Layne, needs to sing more because his voice is angelic
2. Geoff, killing those high/low notes
3. Eli, over here slaying everything that comes out of his mouth
4. Cesar, being the amazing addition that he is
5. Ashley, MISS GIRL save some talent for the rest of us
Yeah Layne has a great voice
Always exciting to see some Layne vocals.
Layne NEEDS to sing more!!! I absolutely ADORE his voice!!!
Perfect comment
Can we talk about cesar's dancing. Like every clip hes in hes moving he really does have the best energy
Let this be the known as the moment Cesar was no longer just a feature in a voice play video
I was just going ask about this...he is listed as an official member!
Yea verily
The video before this announced it :)
I think I'm in love...
He is baritone -Tenor, which is fit into Voiceplay criteria.
2:52 ... 'What?' The boys' faces... priceless. 🤣
I wish I could like this video 1000 times.
Geoff throwing out some high notes and then hits us with that beautiful octave drop... I'M GOBBLING IT UP!!
I honestly never thought I’d hear this song in acapella let alone Voiceplay cover of it. I’m very impressed and Ashley was amazing in this!!
I think I could expect this song acapella, since it's originally styled as Hassidic/cantor-like (unaccompanied) singing - but barely in modern style acapella. And I agree with the rest.
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate Layne’s silky-smooth solo there at the beginning
Layne needs more singing parts! His voice is so pretty 😍
This!!❤
HOOOW? Did Geoff go from G4 to E4 to C2 to F1 in one jump at 3:26? Amazing. Dude is so good.
Yep talent

That why that Voiceplay will permanently keep him forever. He is everything and the core of Voiceplay.

@@Miyanoai14: you said it right, he is absolutely the king of subharmonic which we and I love.
I've never heard anyone or group sing this song in a way that I really like. What a wonderful surprise!
All I’m going to say…is that Geoff is a freak of nature on this one
I mean… isn’t he always? 😉
Hehehe, such a show-off at the end 😜

Man Ashley be murdering all of us with her runs and riffs and then say "what"
Yeah killer G#7
I like that they're singing this as normal folks dreaming about being rich. Makes the song so much more enjoyable. When it's some huge pop star performing a song like this, I usually find myself grumpily thinking: Whaddya mean "if" I were rich? 😅
very very true
The pop star is probably thinking "richer".
I HATE that a ton. You are rich.
I am a upcoming UA-camr, who would love to reach 270 subs Today!!!
They're (for the most part) singing the original version from Fiddler on the Roof, who's singer is indeed a poor Jewish man.

Yeah. He's not human in the slightest.
What Geoff is human!
@@treehouse5577 bruh it’s a 🎆jOkE🎆

His power is growing like the grapes that thrive on the vine. uwu

The amount of sass that just RADIATES from Cesar is incredible
Man this song takes me back to a class I had in middle school called music appreciation. We watched movies like Fiddler on the Roof, The Sound of Music and some other old movies that had a lot of singing in them.
I've watched this so many times -- LOVE IT!
Holy crap, I've never heard of this lovely lady before but that riff at 2:53 was absolutely insane. I don't know if people reading this know how hard it is to riff UP like that but it is not easy, and she didn't JUST riff up. Like, it's obviously impressive when you listen to it but WOW!
And yet her voice is only ONE thing that I admire.... she is absolutely drop-dead gorgeous.

She sings with Voices of Liberty at EPCOT as her regular gig.
I am enjoying your back catalog so very much. The whole group, over the years, is really awesome. So impressive. So happy to back you on patreon
Don't fool us, Geoff. With your voice, there's no way you wouldn't be a rich man
What I love about voiceplay is that everyone gets to sing interesting parts
Geoff absolutely DESTROYING that ending in a good way! Shame, hiding him as a bass when he has that beautiful sound
My cat was watching this with me & he LOVES it.
My animals are big fans as well.
I love how voiceplay appreciates the bass
Its so hard to understand how much of a vocal range Geoff has, its insane
those vocal chords hurt like a mfer, i can come somewhat close to his low notes but after a while of trying my throat tightens up so much i can barely speak. practice makes perfect but im my case it makes me wanna cry outta pain lmao.

And Eli lecturing them for being naughty... 😁

SO ACCURATE
