Vocal ANALYSIS of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto. . . with a few unexpected surprises!

- It's no secret that VoicePlay is one of my favorite a cappella groups, and seeing them on a tear right now makes me exceptionally happy. Then this song came out. "We Don't Talk About Bruno" topped the Hot 100 charts, and is still cruising at #2 six weeks later. There is fire around this, and I just have to see how VoicePlay recreates this masterpiece.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to VoicePlay performing "We Don't Talk About Bruno” for the very first time.

Okay, just found the All Geoff cover of God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman!
Have you ever reacted to Leona lewis?
You should do a reaction video to one of Ville Valo’s songs from the band HIM
ua-cam.com/video/yNSuN8j3akY/v-deo.html
he say will tell us
Layne, doing the arrangement: Hey Geoff, you want to take this Isabella line?
Geoff, flipping his hair: Sure, no problem.
he knows how he makes the girls giddy and the guys questioning their sexuality. ;)
Best part of this entire music video
Did you notice Layne's reaction to Geoff during this bit? Funny! And I love that Layne had a vocal part... while continuing his genius sound effects!
@@rodwestonable Layne and Geoff always have the best sort of chemistry between them
you can tell geoff loves his job.
Okay, so... Geoff's costume change is actually BRILLIANT. Its a hint that he's not playing Bruno at all! In the movie the "seven foot frame..." verse belongs to Camilo. What does that have to do with the costume change and Isabela's line? Camilo is a SHAPESHIFTER. This is one hundred percent a thing Camilo would find funny.
Now I'm hoping for fanart of Camilo and Geoff!
@@Trickpants omg yes please?!
Wow, nice mindblowing detail you noticed there! Absolutely agree!! :D
You just blew my mind, wow. I really need to rewatch Encanto.
Didn’t Camilo even change into Isabela’s boyfriend at one point in the original music video as a joke?
I love their faces when Geoff takes over the Isabella line. Ashley looks like "Why is he singing my line?", Layne looks over like "What the hell?" and Cesar looks to the side as if saying "What's going on here?" ^^
VoicePlay just owns Disney covers. This was so much fun. I love how Layne made Geoff a Disney princess complete with hair flip. LOL
@Candi Lunsford not just Voiceplay, Voctave are there too, both amazing when it comes to Disney covers, but yeah I agree with what you’re saying
also peter hollens would take a share of the crown
@@mitchellb4551 forgot about Peter and his wife as well
@@jasongibbins6484 I had the exact same thought "Yea sorry, Voiceplay is great but Voctave takes the cake for Disney covers"
In fact, Geoff is portraying Camillo, the shapeshifter. In "We don't talk about Bruno", it was this character that was imitating Bruno. So it is coherent that he switched costume for the Isabella part. This last change was not in the film in the song, but it is sooo well done !
That hair flip by Geoff just sold it for me.
Say hello to the newest Disney princess - **Geoff Castellucci**
Just don't take your eyes out of Lane while Jeff changed clothes. His reactions are gold.
Thanks for mentioning it, I hadn't seen it and it was hilarious
Cesar too...in almost all of the VP videos now, there's some brief interaction between Cesar and Geoff.
This is one of those VP videos you have to watch at least five separate times, just to focus on everything one performer is doing all the way through. So many little jokes and nods to the original. Like Layne taking Dolores' part, which had the rhythm of her shoes while dancing as such an integral piece of the whole (and his voice is just so naturally sweet and unassuming). Geoff getting to switch roles just like Camilo. And of course, everyone's side-eyes and eye-rolls! So much fun acting in addition to the great vocal performances and amazing arrangement.
I adore the "married couple" energy between Pepa and Felix, and Ashley/Cesar capture it perfectly.
Right down to her eye-roll when he apologizes for interrupting her story. 😂
Plus he nails the little Felix correction after Pepa sings, "It was my wedding day," with, "It was OUR wedding day!" Love that. Felix is just happy to be here, and Cesar channels him here.
If I'm not mistaken, they're married IRL
@@LilCyco223Cesar is openly gay, so I doubt he and Ashley are married.
@@breannadeal8610 in my defense, I did say if I'm not mistaken, which, apparently, I was
Geoff is such a pretty pretty Disney princess! This is such a fun arrangement! Pretty sure "Nutella" was "Why did he tell us"
Love this one! One reactor paused the video on Geoff's face in the flower section, and said, 'Look, that is a perfect Disney princess!' Hilarious!
I have been following Voiceplay since I first found them years ago. I absolutely love their performances, talents, and productions. They have grown, in my opinion, from a young group of marvelous talents to a miraculous group of vocals rivalling anything out there, and surpassing most.
But for all the love I have for their music and talent, I have to say I may have laughed more watching your reaction. Priceless!
In a Patreon Q&A, Geoff was asked who decided he should wear the same shorts and shirt as Ashley. Turns out, the plan for him to sing the second line was in Layne's arrangement. GEOFF said, wouldn't it be funny if I was wearing the same thing. The clothes came with two sizes (rental) to make sure the fit was right. Geoff is apparently one woman's dress size larger than Ashley.
Always love, love love your reactions to Voiceplay and Geoff, thanx for reacting to this one!
Crazy! He looks a LOT more than one size larger than Ashley. He’s got some pretty broad shoulders and she looks fairly petite.
@@markbelcher2972 , I think the cut was loose enough that it made it work. lol
lol but Geoff is not a small guy, how is that possible
@@jedinxf7 Proof that women's sizing is insane lol
Judging from his sense of humor in his solo stuff, it doesn't surprise me even one bit 🤣
I really enjoyed how Geoff and Layne work together to create such a solid rhythm section. It gives the rest of the group the best platform to shine, and adds a really powerful dynamic.
I think my favorite “acting” bit in this is the way Ashley sympathetically strokes Eli’s head when he’s lamenting his hair loss. 😂
Another amazing reaction! Nobody combines in-depth musical knowledge with uncontrollable giggles quite like you!
Definitely one of the best reactions/review of this one I have seen. And I have seen most of them. Lol. When Geoff started singing Isabella’s line, the look on Ashley’s face like she was so pissed. Then Layne glancing over during that,like ‘WTF Geoff.’ And Cesar looking towards the exit like he wanted to leave. was so funny. When The Isabella line starts, I turn all my attention to the reactor now. Lol just waiting for the laughter.
First time hearing VoicePlay….looks like I’m heading down another rabbit hole after this! 🤣😅😂
Thanks a lot, Elizabeth! Now I can't unhear "Nutella!"
Nutteellllaaaaa! It's always in my head too. Now you share my nightmare!
@@TheCharismaticVoice Nutellafied ? 🤣
We knew you weren't going to wait long to check this out. 🤣
Hi Elizabeth, I'm glad you're reacting to another VoicePlay song, and I loved this performance. This was also my first time listening to Ashley, and her vocals were amazing. The humor and acting by everyone was the best, especially Geoff's scream over the rat. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
Not his scream, actually. That's the famous "goat scream." It's another joke.
The video from Voiceplay was so fun to begin with, and all your giggling just added to the funniness of this piece, thank you ❤️
From Elizabeth to Gigglebeth in less than 60 Seconds 🤣
@@joergojschaefer3521 Yes, and then we stay there for a little vacation throughout the analysis 🤣😍
@@sarawlindgreen3115 Gigglevacation with Elizabeth? Ok I'm in 🤣
Have you NOT done "If I were a Rich Man/Girl"? It's an absolute must! It's a mix of the original show tune and Gwen Stefani's "If I Were a Rich Girl" and Ashley Diane kills it.
Yes, and Layne DOES sing in that one, too!
Anyone else love how at 10:40 when Geoff does the trailing low note it's almost like she's literally watching the note trail out of the video and across the room 🤣❤❤
YOU REACTED TO IT YES. I was praying on my knees that you would watch this one by voiceplay
Its so impressive that you point out things that i never noticed in the song and Iv'e herd it like 1000 times!
The best part of these videos is knowing that you don't know what's coming, and seeing you react to things we know you will go crazy over. The joy in your voice and face for Geoff's wardrobe change and his scream were delicious!!
The “nutella” thing you heard was the part where Eli rapidly sings “Why did he tell her?”.
Funny tidbit of reaction, though. 😂😉
Totally "Sigmund Freud" Elizabeth is a chocolate beast 😁...So..."Hmmm, sounded like Nutella!" *ding* *ding* Ok Nutella, definitely! 🤣
hmm, I could have sworn I heard "now tell us" instead...
@@najrenchelf2751
What I wrote is in the movie.
I thought it was 'Abuela gets the Umbrella'
@@kratosGOW It's actually "Why did he tell us?" Felix is pretty clear with the "s" in the very beginning of the song.
Voiceplay is my favorite accapella group. This is the second time I've heard you squeal! Adorable. The fun you were having was contagious. You're the best!
You were almost enjoying this analysis too much. Your reactions and giggles were fun and as entertaining too watch as this video by VoicePlay.
AWESOME harmonies ....Great characterizations..... fun fun fun
This video is so funny. 😂 Geoff has a great talent as a comedian. Great choice Elizabeth.
Geoff is also wearing pink shorts! ❤️🏴
I was WAITING for you to get to the part where Geoff did Isabela's line and you did not disappoint.
Aaahh! I fell off my chair from laughing rolling about on the floor 🤣😂 That was so much fun watching. Thank you for this piece of entertainment!
Geoff is playing the role of Camilo….the one who can shape shift, so he changes from Bruno to the sister after Ashley sings that line.
I'm so glad you analyzed this!! I knew you'd get a kick out of a few different parts. This is one of the best covers they've ever done.
Your pure love of all music never ceases to make me smile. Another great video Elizabeth!!
The best thing about watching you watch a VoicePlay video is the ASMR response you have to Layne and Geoff.
Goodness , your reactions are awesome. No matter how many times I’ve listened to a song, you point out something I missed. Such fun following along with you.
This was absolutely hilarious, they are just amazing! You would never dream that music could be so much fun!
Your reaction to it was soooo funny, thank you so much for reviewing this one 👍
Can I mention how his bass lines NEVER fail to devolve her into a giddy school girl and I love it!
I like when you were talking about Geoff’s slide and passed on his face. It was a perfect pause.
I have been waiting and waiting for you to do your reaction video to VoicePlay’s ‘we don’t talk about Bruno’. They did such massive layering of all their talents and produced a wonderfully fantastic fun video. I have watched it so many times and still pick up things I didn’t catch before. I love how they say they take music seriously, but not themselves. I’ve heard that that shows true artistry and talent . I LOVE VoicePlay !! Thank you Elizabeth for your insight and analysis on their incredibly well done fun video. Cheers!
Eli's "Nutella" line was, "Why did he tell us?" Love your reaction!
Geoff is a Disney princess now
For a song that's about not talking about Bruno, sure takes a long time not to talk about him... LOL I'm not familiar with this group, and apparently I've been living under a rock because I'm not familiar with this song or the movie... But I enjoyed the group and the song... even the humor. Thanks for the introduction!
Your giddiness brings me much joy 😊
Oh! ::giggles::
You can tell when Geoff is gonna drop a _really_ low one... watch his hands!
Hands do help a lot and i dont know why
That ending has so much depth and intrigue delivered so quickly! I replay it many times trying to get the details - and then silence.... I think the only thing I can do is enjoy it.
We don't talk about Bruno, but we sure talk a lot about talking about Bruno! I first heard this when watching the movie and loved it there. As usual VoicePlay does a wonderful and funny cover. And - again as usual - you take us through all of the details, pointing out a few things I know I missed, all while simply enjoying the piece for the entertainment it is! Thank you!
ASHLEY fit this one perfectly. As with Rachel in the Little Mermaid medley, just a perfect voice for the part.
I think that is what I like about Voiceplay. By changing one voice each time they are able to put in the perfect selection for the job.
Love to hear you laughing, they nailed this vid :D
It's so incredible how Voiceplay keeps putting out so many amazing songs! Love your reaction/analysis as always, and eagerly anticipating a reaction of Voiceplay's Wicked Medely! :)
I've been expecting this video since the moment the other video released! I'm so genuinely happy!
That Nutella line is just the pregnancy talking, but now we cannot unhear it :):):)
Love your reaction...Kathy is the one throwing the petals at Ashley and Geoff.....I love to watch your expressions as you watch....I am glad you rewound and caught Ashleys expression when she sang about the dead fish....So many miss it because they close their eyes or look away that that part....Most reactors have watched this without having watched the movie first, but watching the movie gives much more context and understanding to the song....
Another reactor, Mortius did an interview/live stream with Cesar for their birthdays....Cesar confirmed that the scream wasn't actually Geoff, but the screaming goat sound effect....
I really think you should react to "If I was a rich man/girl"...There are some amazing vocal gymnastics in that song....
I was so excited to see that you were reacting to Bruno. You always point out the many things that slide right by me in the videos which helps me enjoy them even more!
I've been looking forward to you seeing this one. :) Geoff as Disney Princess is awesome. I heard one reactor say something like: Find someone who looks at you the way Geoff looks at that purple light. Oh yes!
Well, to be fair, beyond that purple light was his wife Kathy, flinging rose petals at his face. 😍 They actually slowed the video down to half during those scenes to make it look like the petals were wafting their way on a gentle breeze, but they were really being blown in their faces by a high powered fan. 😂
@@maskedmallard537 That is of course true, I have also watched the BTS video, and Geoff often looks off to one side in videos, where I'm sure he's looking at Kathy, though in this instance he's clearly looking above her, the line of sight wouldn't be right, but I take your point. He's just got such loving eyes anyway, you can't act or fake that look of love that comes from within. I see it often even as he looks into the camera.
Only Voiceplay can get me completely hooked on a disney song.
Great now I hear NUTEEELLLLLA everytime in Eli's part 😭😂😂😂
Ok girl, you're looking absolutely adorable. Congrats on your incoming little!!!
Elizabeth's reactions are just great, the song is good but the reactions are why i keep coming back
I so love your analysis, and obvious enjoyment that comes through on your channel. Thank you.
Your joy is contagious and puts me in a good mood!
I was smiling and grinning the entire time with you despite having rewatched their video countless times; your glee is infectious. :) I recommend "A Chance to Fly" also by Voiceplay, their amazing medley of songs from Wicked the musical. Unrelated but another recommendation: "Oath of the Gatewatch" by Planeswalker for a bunch of reasons you'd appreciate.
Lin Manuel Miranda is a genius for having come up with this song.
VoicePlay did an amazing, outstanding job here ❤ They were really really good and it was super funny too!
You should definitely do the rich man/rich girl song. It has one of, if not the best runs I have ever heard in a song. I really think you would enjoy. Plus just a good song in general
I really enjoy the subtle Diz-bounding that they are doing in this video. Thank you for both the in-depth analysis and the broad enjoyment. I was particularly interested in your discussion of the "d" sound at the start of the bass line. I learn something each time I watch this channel.
The Wellerman ft everyone? - The Misty Mountains
The Bass Gang - Emperor's New Clothes
I really enjoyed this reaction video!!
Thanks! ❤️
I loved the arrangement, I found out your channel recently and I'm loving these analysis videos, it's entertaining and I'm looking forward to see more as I am also a big fan of Voiceplay.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Geoff, but damnit Laynes arrangements are fire
the soft-spoken lines he did were excellent.
@@UltimateGamerCC Yessssss it was ASMR dude
It’s always great to see you do an a cappella analysis Elizabeth! You just let the passion shine, it’s great to see, thanks!
I admit at first I was confused about why Geoff went from Bruno to Isabela (hilarious though it is), then watching the original it hit me -- he's not Bruno in the green, he's Camilo shapeshifting into Bruno as he describes his 7 foot frame, rats along his back and all. And if Camilo can 'become' Bruno, why not Isabela? Plus Geoff doesn't just do it, he OWNS it, with that smile. Too funny!
I love your reactions so much joy and voice play get even better each time unbelievable what talent thank you
So glad you share your knowledge and enthusiasm when geeking out with such great artists.
I love that you take the time to have a longer video and react to all the little things we love to geek out over.
I believe Eli's lyric that sounded like Nutella is "Why did he tell us?"
That or "why didn't he tell us?"
Hmm. What didn't he tell us could work too.
@@martindinner3621 the line before is "Bruno says it looks like rain" so "why didn't he tell us?" wouldn't make sense in context
Part of the reason I follow this channel is to discover gems like that that I would have otherwise never found. I must've played the full song easily a hundred times already since watching this video. Thank you for that!
I love how playful and kind of childlike Cesar is in this one! Happy, innocent fun!
Is there anything that Geoff does that isn’t “groovy”? 😆
I love their complex arrangements and absolutely love Geoff's slides. They are always so smooth. The one important thing I have learned though is to never listen to them without my good headphones on! There is so much you miss if you just listen through the phones speakers.
So glad you're reacting to this one!! Such a brilliant arrangement by Layne, and possibly the funniest thing VoicePlay's done to date. Fantastic mix of crazy-talented vocals and humour - just a joy to watch. As they said in one of their webchats, they take the music seriously, but not themselves. That's why we love them!
I can hardly wait, this should be fun.
Just subscribed! I love your reactions so much! You take the time and always go into the music dynamics! I’m definitely going to watch more from you! 💗
You make analysis so fun 😭
It took me a whole lot of viewings to catch all the details in this: Layne’s and Cesar’s expressions when Geoff is in the blouse (Ashley’s too-she’s all, “you stole my line!”). So many musical nuances- Geoff is always kind of partly percussion with those low notes, but more so in this, and Layne’s amazing inhaled bass at the end. Eli’s acting (And I am going to grumble just a little bit here-I think there must be a reason Eli is usually separated from Geoff, but in this case, putting him behind Layne, who is a tall guy, kind of blocks some of his physical expressions). Ashley really blends well with these guys vocally-I hope it isn’t another year before she is featured again.
And just a suggestion, you really should react to “If I Were a Rich Man/Girl,” because Ashley does some things vocally that are well worth your attention.
I always love your reactions. Looking forward to the next!
I have been checking your channel for weeks to see your analysis! Your absolute glee while reacting to them is infectious. VoicePlay is the absolute best and you breaking it all down makes my day! Check out VoicePlay's Eleanor Rigby (Eli arranged it) and ditto the If I Were a Rich Man/Girl. 2 of my other favorites.
I was wondering why we didn’t have a vocal analysis of that song yet. I’m glad 🙂
Loved your reaction/review of the song. Along with the set and costumes, Voice Play videos make great use of lighting effects and props. Thanks for your outstanding video.
VOICEPLAY AMAZING AS ALWAYS! Complex Simplicity and the beauty!!! WOW!!! They bring joy and make it look like effortless and SO MUCH FUN!! -I think the line about Neutella was something like n tell us . . . But maybe they were hungry after an awesome session! WOOP WOOP WOOP!!!
WOW! After hearing this I can simply not listen to the original. This version absolutely BLEW my mind
I love voiceplay so I had already seen this, but your reactions always spot something here and there I hadn't noticed, and it's so much fun to see. Loved every second of it!
There's a video of Ashley and Geoff dressed alike dancing. It is hilarious. Also, you should definitely check out the "If I were a rich man/girl" cover. Ashley has a huge flex in that song.
where's the video of Ashley and Geoff dancing? I've seen the behind the scenes for We Don't Talk Bruno and there wasn't a dance in that
@@spidersylar it was on her Instagram.
@@ChrisHaar Ah thanks, I don't use Instagram much so didn't think to check there. Just saw it. Hilarious 😂
Yessss I DREAM of a Charismatic Voice analysis for If I Were a Rich Man/Girl!!!
@@jamielunsford8339 I'd like to see her do "Great Showman Medley" as well
Voice play came and performed at my high school in 2016, my sophomore year, it was really cool!
I was grumpy when I started watching this but your laughter at the costume change batted that away. I don't know if it's the analysis or your genuine joy for whatever music is playing that is more enjoyable.
Didn't go through all the comments so I don't know if this was mentioned before but Bruno's original name in the story was Oscar. Lin-manuel Miranda asked them to change it because Bruno was easier to rhyme with 😁
Your little squeals of joy at Layne's fills brought me joy.
