They all popped off here, Eli did such a good impression of the original singer and belted insane notes, Layne dubstep-beatboxed like crazy, Geoff hit a D5 and an A0 in the same song like it's nothing (shame they didn't focus the attention on him more for his head voice run after his verse, most people seem to miss that it's _him_ in the high register up there), like holy sh!t these guys are good
Alexa is a KPop singer from Oklahoma but lives in South Korea. I am pretty sure her backup dancers choreographed the moves and the guys learned from her team. She filmed her part in SK and Layne and Eli worked their editing magic to make it look like she was there.
AleXa is a K-pop artist and winner of America Song Contest (raised in Oklahoma and a US citizen). Enemy is from League of Legends Arcane series and AleXa is in character of Jinx the lead in the Arcane series.
It's the little hip shift AleXa does at the end that gets me. Sassy girl. I am a fan of Imagine Dragons and I can't fault this. For an acapella cover this was genius. Loved it. For me, Cesar stole the show. His sound was perfect for this.
Been waiting all DAY for your reaction to this, Qofy! I am still processing. Every single one of the people on this video did things that shouldn’t be legal. On top of hitting (I think) his highest note ever and rockin’ it with that gritty tenor, Eli’s facial expressions-dang! He’s singing with this neutral expression, and then a slight tilt of his head and a small shift and he looks downright wicked (and yeah, that beard-it is PERFECT). Cesar brought it, too-way high up there and wailing away, and his expressions were FIERCE! Geoff-OMG. Those slides, drops, that flex with his range, and those deep percussive notes (when Layne wasn’t doing them-I can’t tell who did which) and Layne just laying it down and throwing out some beatboxing magic we’ve never seen before. And then AleXa-the choreography, the vocals, she’s got it going on! Plus Layne and Eli did the arrangement, which is unreal, and then the backgrounds, costumes, makeup, hair-WOW. So much going on I keep forgetting to breathe! I keep thinking these guys can’t top themselves and they go and do it again! Anyway, awesome reaction, as USUAL (which is why I always wait for your videos to come up). Great analysis!!
They all brought it on this one!!! Well they always do But very few people have noticed Geoff hitting those super sky high notes after his bass part!!!
So in this song Geoff is repeatedly hitting his lowest chest note which is F#1. We’ve heard him sing it one other time in their video ‘Superstition’ and he hit it for a brief second but in this song the bass line just alternates from G1 to F#1 in chest, sometimes subharmonic. That slide that he did near the end was the lowest note he’s ever sang which ended down at an F#0 which is insane!
From what I personally heard, he overshot the F#0 on the slide by just a hair and actually went slightly lower. I will have to run it through my analyzer and see just how low he got.
AleXa is KPop star in South Korea. We found out during the premier this morning that her people contacted VoicePlay and said she would like to work with them. They already had the arrangement for Enemy about done, so the collab came together fairly quickly.
AliXa is a singer, dancer, actress and now K pop artist based in South Korea where she was recorded and filmed on green screen and then added in. Another banger. I think it's probably Layne sounding like a lion. But then Geoff does one too at the end.
Arcane is a Netflix series made in the world of the game League of Legends. Alexa is playing the character of Jinx a woman driven crazy by tragedy. The song is the theme song of the show. I was drawn into this becaus I love her. This is an amazing performance by everyone.
Arcane is a Netflix show about a video game. I don’t know ANYTHING about the game, and it’s still one of my favorite shows. It’s a masterpiece in both story-telling and visuals. But of course, music too. This is such a good song for VoicePlay to cover, really cool how it turned out. 😄👍
Yes, Arcane is/was an awesome show, well worth watching! What a bummer it got axed. And the title song covered here is not the least of reasons for that! This cover is outclassing the excellent original for me. And AleXa gets her Jinx CosPlay on point! Her dance moves cover the disturbed nazure of Jinx perbectly!
It should not be possible for these guys to do the things they do or sound the way they do, but boy I'm overjoyed that they can! Another epically entertaining and phenomenal VoicePlay rendition! I so enjoy your reactions, thank you! 🙂👍
I listened to the audio a couple of times before the video was released - and I was certain that deep laugh was Layne, because we've heard him do it before. Nope. Geoff. I totally agree that Layne absolutely killed this one. Everyone is fabulous. But Layne. OMG. His arrangement, of course - it has that "Layne feel."
I know that Layne uses inhale notes to hit into the contrabass range. Geoff has talked about the fact that he can’t do inhale notes because he doesn’t understand them. So basically, if you hear an inhale note during a Voiceplay song, it’s Layne.
He sometimes uses throat bass notes for the contra range as well (he is a beat boxer, after all), and in this specific example, he used a throat bass note to hit that F#1.
They've definitely leveled up, lol! When I watched the preview I said the same thing as you about Layne and Geoff. Their foundation is just so strong, it's crazy. This one just seems so complex and it's so, so good. Great reaction and breakdown, as always! ❤️💗
AleXa looks like Jinx 👀 And holly #$@! The guy of bass voice o.o League of lengends (LoL) is a game Arcane: League of lengends is an serie based on the world and story of the game! the soundtrack they use is great (sorry eng is not my first language xD)
-8:45. Subharmonics can sound a bit different depending on how the singer chooses to produce the sound naturally. Kinda like any note, you can change the way it sounds with your vocal folds. also with the way your mouth is shaped, in some cases Geoff sings subs with his mouth semi-closed or semi--open, which gives it a different sound, and that may be what makes it difficult to tell whether it is or not.
Great reaction and yes, it's hard to tell who is doing what quite often. I love listening to the karaoke version on Patreon to be able to hear the background singers much easier. Even then sometimes I have a hard time telling between Layne and Geoff.
Yeah, you don't generally notice it, because he's busy making vocal percussion; but it turns out Layne's vocal range is even more all-encompassing than Geoff's. Also, he's been doing some very innovative stuff with the vocal percussion lately (last three releases in a row at least); traditionally, I have regarded Kevin Olusola as the best currently-active acapella beat boxer, but at this point Layne is starting to be in the running for it as well. I kinda want to see him do a multitracked solo cover, where five Laynes cover all the parts of an arrangement. It would need to be something with absolutely ridiculous rhythms, obviously.
12:23 Yes ! That was one of those rare clean chest F#1s from Geoff ! It sounds as difficult as his G1s used to sound around 2019-2020s, but at least he doesn't need to slide down to that note anymore or use a chest-fry mix like in Superstition (though, tbf, he'd demonstrated brief chest F#1s on Patreon then). Prepare to hear clean, resonant, sustained chest F#1s from Geoff in about 2 years, y'all... before he decides to go down again and own F1 😊
I checked Geoff’s low note at the end of song in an audio editing program and it seems to be around A0/Bb0 which is his new lowest note! Not sure of the technique, though I think it could be subharmonics. Edit: it’s growl
Don't say it... don't say it... don't say it... 🤪 As always, really enjoyed watching you have a good time! When I watched it, I was like you.. "Dude, Layne getting even more insane!" lol 🌹💋
You definitely should check out Arcane. It's an amazing animated series based on League of Legends lore, but you don't need to know anything about the game to watch and follow along

Geoff hit a d5 🤯

That face you make into the camera when Geoff does something unbelievable 🤣🤣
I understand AleXa sent her part in from S. Korea. Amazing job by Eli to make it seamless.
AleXa is actually a K-pop idol so I was very positively surprised when I found out about this cover
AliXa is a singer, dancer, actress and now K pop artist based in South Korea where she was recorded and filmed on green screen and then added in. Another banger. I think it's probably Layne sounding like a lion. But then Geoff does one too at the end.
Vocal chameleons. I can't even guess who is doing what anymore. Kudos to you for figuring it out. And Eli...my god, Eli and his rock voice.

Geoff goes down to F#1 full chest voice in this song. Also, I love Alexa's voice

(sorry eng is not my first language xD)
Another amazing arrangement and delivery! WOW!! 🔥🤯💯
Thank you for another great reaction. Layne knocked this out of the park. He is awesome.
Geoff high note was a D5 :)
13:40 I can be wrong but I think that was Layne and I love it! Also always so impressed of Geoff hitting hight notes (and low of course)
Geoff's low notes and high notes are absolutely awesome! How long does he hold that high note?
Just gonna say it like i said it in the comments of the original video - LAyne fully ate a whole soundboard in the making of this glorious video 🤣
SO READY FOR THIS!!

"I don't know about Arcane League of Legends. Is it a game? Is it an anime? A cartoon?"
Yes.
Great reaction and yes, it's hard to tell who is doing what quite often. I love listening to the karaoke version on Patreon to be able to hear the background singers much easier. Even then sometimes I have a hard time telling between Layne and Geoff.
I think Geoff's 'inhaled note' sounds like he is saying "YI"........Layne's inhaled notes (Think the end of We Don't Talk about Bruno)......>^^
That slide at the end by Geoff, according to my humble calculations (don’t hold me to my word) but I wanna say bflat0?🤯
His high belt was awesome too.
I've heard multiple notes. I've heard everything from Bb0 down to F#0 so I got no clue
It's an A0 but your closer to the guys saying he hits an F#0 like he's gonna hit a new lowest note by 5 semitones

VoicePlay is a great acapella group
That was fantastic!!
So happy to be the 1,000 LIKE 🔥🔥
Pretty awesome as usual 🥰
Love your reaction, basically the same as mine. Disbelief all the way
Geoff hit an A0 man
Is it just me, or is it getting hard to tell who is singing which parts? They’re all so skilled and have incredible ranges!
I checked Geoff’s low note at the end of song in an audio editing program and it seems to be around A0/Bb0 which is his new lowest note! Not sure of the technique, though I think it could be subharmonics.
Edit: it’s growl
For the note your right but it's the growl technique 😉
One thing I've noticed with notes off or nearly off the piano is notes are pitched at either the right note or a F#0
at 13;30- remember we've heard Eli take over the base line before - like in the moana medley ;)
Hey Qofy love your content hope you have a great day 👍🏾
Much love Patrick
Y'all know the video is fire when you see Qofy with the stank face
ooohhh yeahhhh
Yeah we he starts channeling widd then you know it's fire. And the big big smiles
Geoff put out a video and said he didn't know what a chest-fry note even is.
She is a J-Pop singer. Born in the US.
Wooooow
Don't say it... don't say it... don't say it... 🤪
As always, really enjoyed watching you have a good time! When I watched it, I was like you.. "Dude, Layne getting even more insane!" lol 🌹💋
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Layne, what are the top 10 weirdest noises you can make? Layne: Here you go! 😳🤯🥰
You definitely should check out Arcane. It's an amazing animated series based on League of Legends lore, but you don't need to know anything about the game to watch and follow along
There was more dance moves practiced, all I will say is the behind the scenes was an eye opener on that
I think you will really like Alexa's songs, react to WONDERLAND or REVOLUTION
I think it goes down to a B0 in growl at the end too
an A0
I think that is in chest, he's just using a lot of air to make it thick
Arcane is an anime
the last growl was a d#1
F#0
How the hell does everyone pitch an F#0 or F0 on a note that isn't near it its just an A0 lol
