A classic that deserves more attention than it receives! But please, please don't deny yourself the experience of their Nothing Else Matters cover. It's truly exceptional.
Tony Wakim not only sang the male lead in this, but he also made Rachael’s dress. He comes from a line of seamstresses and has been sewing since an early age. He does the costuming for Pattycake Productions, and occasionally VoicePlay. For example, he dressed VoicePlay for their Wicked medley. (Another extraordinary dress for Rachael, as well as extra long pants for Eli the giant and fancy circus wear for Layne and Cesar.)
@@christinestromberg4057 I agree. He has said that he doesn't regret the time he spent performing, but that he also doesn't regret giving it up to work behind the camera, so seems quite content to be working on 'the other side'.
Tony has such a beautiful voice & presence. I love the work he does through PattyCake Productions. But I'd love seeing them featuring him in a video like they did with Scott in the Halo video! 💖
Glad you pulled this one from way back! I didn't know notice before that Eli was on that harmony with Rachel. You can see him wide-mouthed in the way back behind her. If you looking for more VoicePlay, Nothing Else Matters (Metallica) is mindblowing and In My Room (Beach Boys) is like a warm hug.
Woot Woot! This one is often overlooked by the reactors. It's amazing to see where they were at this point and see where they go with Oogie Booie, Moana, the LIttle Mermaid, Wicked Medley, and We Don't Talk About Bruno. For a little fun, their Cheerleder is in a boy-band style. Queen in 5 Minutes is a must-see.
The Phantom here is Tony, nominally their baritone at the time; and this is easily the best thing VP ever did while he was with them. Other things you might have encountered from that era include First Noel, Road Trip, Chicken Song, and the Zombies vs Hillbillies collab with HF.
Watching your reactions to Voiceplay is always fun! And bravo for stopping, wiping your expectations and starting again. Some reactors didn't recognize Geoff with short hair, either. I am here for all things Voiceplay and Geoff!
I’ve had this song in my Spotify playlist for at least 5 years and just realized that this was voice play! Funny thing is I’ve been listening to voice play for about a year or so. It makes sense as to why I’ve been obsessed with this version of the song. So good.
If you Like Rap with VoicePlay - Valhalla Calling - (After the Baby. Much Love and Prayers for you all)... Congrats. Always watching. Thank you for your Joy, Passion and Dedication to the Art of the Voice.
One of my favorites. I love every version on Phantom of the Opera. It's Tony Wakim who used to be a baritone for VP but wanted to get into production so he and Layne bought Pattycake Studios. A lot of VoicePlay's videos are done here as are quite a few of Geoff's solos. There are 2 live productions done during the Sing-Off era that are fun: Road Trip (make sure you get the one with 9 million) and the full Chicken Song where Tony plays the waitress ( do get the one with Tony)
AHH this is such a good one and one I feel like a lot of people miss because it is an older one! Great reaction!! And the Phantom is Tony Wakim, he runs Pattycake studio with Layne.
Oh, gosh. Thank you for the shout out and for the awesome review!!! This was the first song of Voiceplay’s I ever heard, and have been such a big fan since. So cool seeing you review it, you’re the best, Danielle! And I hope you check out their cover of True Colors- a master class in harmonies.
One of the biggest hints as to how old this is , is the fact Geoff has such short hair. One more great cover of this is from a singer called Birdy, I'll see if I can find this for you (it's on a Asian singing contest)
Wow. I had also missed this cover by VP. You can easily tell it's an older one since Earl is still there and J. None is not. I am immediately surprised by the lack of attention on Geoff, since so many of their newer videos tend to stress his extreme bass contributions. Thanks for reviewing this one or I probably never would have seen it. It is definitely a different take on The Phantom.
Hi Danielle, congratulations. Thank you for another priceless reaction to Voice Play. There are two original songs by Voice Play that are little known to many. They are from 2015. They are...( Voice Play )One Minute Musical ( Miley Cyrus ) music & lyrics are by Geoff Castallucci & it is hilarious. also... ( Voice Play ) One Minute Musical ( Light Bulb ) music & lyrics are by Eli. Because they are short they both can be done in one sitting. Would you please please do a reaction video of them ? I have been begging all reactors to do them for the past two months & nobody will. I guarantee you will love them.
Subscription Squad. I am so excited for you to do a reaction video of Geoff's new solo cover...Sounds Of Silence...It is hauntingly beautiful. Geoff pulled at the heart strings with this one.
Congrats and best wishes for you and your baby! I would love to hear your reaction to Renaissance. The Song of Scheherazade is my favorite, but it's almost 30 minutes long. Mother Russia, Things I Don't Understand, Day of the Dreamer and A Song For All Seasons are others. #subscriptionsquad
Another up-vote for “Nothing Else Matters”. It’s spiritually true to the original but they’ve made it their own, dramatic, dynamic, powerful, moving. Awesome solos and harmonies throughout. Watch carefully as the climax builds. I think you’ll like the way it ends, too. May I also suggest "Valhalla Calling” for some fantastic Viking vibes (pay attention to Eli). “Ghost Riders in the Sky" is a fantastic cover by Geoff. #Subscriptionsquad
I feel like many covers of this song just don't display how pushy and impossible to satisfy the Phantom is. No matter how well Christine sang he was never happy. But this cover nails that aspect!
I would love to hear your reaction to two different live performances, 1st one would be Distributed on the Conan O'Brien show doing a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" an exceptional must see performance I feel is better than the original song. The second would be the Righteous Brothers live on the Andy Williams show from 1965. Doing "Unchained Melody", pure talent, nothing added to enhance the sound, another must see performance. Both of these performance are well worth your time. Totally impressive talents you will enjoy.
#Subscriptionsquad If you want to hear a really, REALLY powerful Phantom of the Opera. I recommend Floor Janssen and Henk Poort. They were on a Dutch show called Beste Zangers. You aren't going to want to miss this!
Looking beautiful sis. Praying for you to have an easy and smooth delivery and that you have no complications making the last few months of your pregnancy more miserable than a normal pregnancy.
Danielle this is my first time commenting. I love your reaction videos! I am offering up a suggestion for you. Try reacting to Post Modern Jukebox's cover of Aerosmith's Dream On featuring Morgan James. Just make sure your wearing shoes, it's so good it will knock your socks off!
VoicePlay's arrangements are always slightly shocking in a way. A good way usually. There's only one that still bothers me a bit and that was If I Were a Rich Man/Girl, from Fiddler on the Roof. I still have trouble with the way they changed that one. Maybe it just meant too much to me. But virtually every other arrangement they've done I just love. As for creepy, have you seen their Once Upon A Dream. That is really creepy.
@@christinestromberg4057 I know, the first time I clicked on VP's version of If I Were a Rich Man/Girl, I clicked off right away, going, "Nope, that's just way too different from how I want the song to be sung". Probably because I am old enough to remember seeing/hearing Zero Mostel, Topol and Herschel Bernardi perform it. I finally made it though it and it does have a place on my 'listen to while doing my stationary bike' playlist simply because it's fast and rhythmic. If it's not a top fave for me, I do have to say that I like it better than Gwen's version (which I never heard until after watching VP's version). Same with this song, I really didn't like it much when I first heard it, but I do appreciate Tony and Rachel very much in it. I admire what they did with this song, but it's never going to be a top favorite for me just because the original song (and the whole score, if I'm being honest) was something that really touched my heart and blew me away.
Hello Danielle, remember when you said you'd love to hear 4th impact sing a more recent version of Bang Bang after reacting to their audition? A while after xfactor they did a longer version on the wish bus. It is much cleaner since they arent dancing around (they dance in their seats which shows their joy singing this) and of course you have the wish bus sound quality. I saw it years ago but it just popped up in my feed and the first thing i thought of was your request. It is really worth reacting to. ua-cam.com/video/ZS8dQGTpodE/v-deo.html
#subscriptionsquad Great analysis, as always! Rice and Weber were sort of my gateway drug into musicals, because I was mesmerized when I first heard Brightman and Crawford doing Phantom. Hearing Voiceplay do this was a treat, for sure. As far as a suggestion for a new analysis of a fantastic performance, I recommend the performance of Stella Splendens by Luc Arbogast and the Nederlands Blazers Ensemble. Luc's tone and range are amazing, and I hope you love it. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/F_KcBuR9rZs/v-deo.html
Hey danielle can u react to jann gladiator live show it's a song that lose in poland euro Vision pre selections but it's polish people favorite and everyone is mad about that
Good day. Thank you for another amazing reaction. I have always loved Phantom of the Opera and they did an amazing job with it. I came across your channel while listening to Dimash reactions. Thank you. I love your enthusiasm when you talk about music and giggled with glee while watching your Dimash reactions because I could relate to how you felt. I recently came across a South Korean crossover quartet named Forestella, and when I heard their music, I was in awe as they are amazing. I am curious to hear you react to and analyze their music. Their music is chocolate to my ears, and it always puts a song in my heart and a smile on my face. I have seen some people react to them, and there were some copyright issues for some reactors, while others had none with the same song. Please listen to their song Champions. ua-cam.com/video/r2JyHuhbtzY/v-deo.html .They have also done covers of Bad Romance by Lady Gaga. ua-cam.com/video/jKg7JdtPPaA/v-deo.html . Shape of you by Ed Sheeran ua-cam.com/video/L9V6Qg_gFYc/v-deo.html and a few Queen songs. You can watch Phantom of the Opera sung by Pitta (Kang Hyung-ho) one of the Forestella singers ua-cam.com/video/RUoe1e1nsnQ/v-deo.html
I don't like it. My favorite is with Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum. Gerard may not have the greatest voice but the sexual appeal couldn't be denied. #subscribersquad
A classic that deserves more attention than it receives! But please, please don't deny yourself the experience of their Nothing Else Matters cover. It's truly exceptional.
One of the most underrated works by VoicePlay. Rachel's voice to reach down into alto range, while maintaining a mezzo presence is incredible.
Tony Wakim not only sang the male lead in this, but he also made Rachael’s dress. He comes from a line of seamstresses and has been sewing since an early age. He does the costuming for Pattycake Productions, and occasionally VoicePlay. For example, he dressed VoicePlay for their Wicked medley. (Another extraordinary dress for Rachael, as well as extra long pants for Eli the giant and fancy circus wear for Layne and Cesar.)
Tony seems like a very multi-talented guy! I didn't know he did the costumes for The Greatest Showman Medley.
I did not know that. Fascinating. I miss seeing him in VoicePlay but life moves on. :)
@@christinestromberg4057 I agree. He has said that he doesn't regret the time he spent performing, but that he also doesn't regret giving it up to work behind the camera, so seems quite content to be working on 'the other side'.
I miss him in Voiceplay but I'm glad to know he's still so heavily involved with them in this capacity.
Tony has such a beautiful voice & presence. I love the work he does through PattyCake Productions. But I'd love seeing them featuring him in a video like they did with Scott in the Halo video! 💖

Love Tony's voice, wish we could see him sing more. He joined them in Just Sing, but would love to see him again.
Tony Wakim is the Phantom. Now he is part owner of Pattycake Productions with Layne. He now is background production assistance on VoicePlay videos.
The Phantom here is Tony, nominally their baritone at the time; and this is easily the best thing VP ever did while he was with them. Other things you might have encountered from that era include First Noel, Road Trip, Chicken Song, and the Zombies vs Hillbillies collab with HF.

Fantastic Phantom and Christine
Tony is the phantom of The Opera. Danielle Marie. Sings.
A forgotten gem. Welcome back!
Wow. I had also missed this cover by VP. You can easily tell it's an older one since Earl is still there and J. None is not.

Hello coach danielle its been a while seeing you reaction videos.God Bless You Always coach🥰

Earl would be the one singing closest to Rachel's part, not Eli.

Hello couch Danielle im happy you back again 🙂😇😘😘😘😍💓🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Welcome back , 6m now , very cool , all baby things good ??
Great reaction to an iconic opera cover
I would also like to say that Tony and Rachel have good chemistry in this video.

P.s. Is it sad I noticed that the books on the top shelf are one of my favorite series to read? I love Harry Potter.

As a fan of Phantom I highly recommend checking out the Nightwish official live version for a metal twist.

Hi Dani, You and Rachael can be preggo buddies, she announced early January that she is pregnant with #3.

I still have trouble with the way they changed that one. Maybe it just meant too much to me. But virtually every other arrangement they've done I just love. As for creepy, have you seen their Once Upon A Dream. That is really creepy.
I believe If I Were a Rich Man/ Girl was also a bit of Gwen Stefanis version. So not strictly from Fiddler.
