Geoff absolutely stole the show in this one, let me know if you agree. #voiceplay #cover #disney #lionking #scar #1mannzopinion #reaction #critique #beprepared
Geoff does a magnificent villain. Mykal (Michael) was an original member before leaving to go to Broadway. Look on Just Sing (with captions) and you'll get to see their claims to fame for all of the people that have had parts in the joy of VoicePlay. Geoff's solo is Song of Durin.
Jeremy Irons played Scar in the movie, but he didn't sing this, it was Jim Cummings. I believe Irons had some vocal cords issue while singing it, so his version was replaced. Mykal (pronounced like Michael) was a VP original member in 1997, with Geoff, Layne and Earl, as 4theLove; they changed to 4:2:five when Scott Porter joined, and later to VoicePlay around the time of the Sing-Off.
For more fun, you need to watch it again with the captions on and see the joke Geoff put in. During the lion roar he does near the end. We will hear more of the voice of Mykal(Michael) later this autumn. They've made another video where he gets to shine even more. Here Scar had the most lines, out of necessity. Mykal was tenor 1, when Earl was tenor 2, he can get up there! You hear some of it in Just Sing. Layne wrote the rap to avoid some of the spoken lines, but still explain the ongoing action. Seems some people complained about the spoken part in Hellfire and he wanted to try another solution.
Mykal was a founding member when Geoff, Layne, Earl and Mykal were known as 4 The Love. After they added Scott Porter they became 4:2: Five. Then when they went on The Sing-Off they became VoicePlay.
I really enjoyed your reaction- thanks! Mykal (Michael) was a member of the quartet, '4theLove', they formed back in high school. Mykal left the group to pursue Broadway and has had a very successful career on Broadway. Scott Porter joined as their beatboxer and they evolved into '4:2:five', Scott Porter left for Hollywood to pursue his acting career, then the group became Voice Play around 2012 with Layne as their beatboxer. Voice Play will have another one coming out soon featuring Mikal.
I loved how they did this one 😁 me personally I hated the live action lion king and I think they messed up scars song so badly in it , I only watched it once and never will again Voiceplay did a great job though , plus Geoff did a awesome job acting as scar 😁 I also loved Caesar’s acting in this 🥰

Layne came up with the rap bit as a compromise between breaking up the flow of the song by including the prose from the movie, versus leaving out the hyenas' dialogue entirely. 'Mufasa, Mufasa, Mufasa' and 'No King, no King, la-la-la-la-la-la!' are of course taken directly from the animated feature.
As a viewer of those reacting to VoicePlay or solo Geoff, I'm not looking to hear which is better (the original or their cover). I just want a valid reaction as to whether is was good or not.
Same here. I don't compare either. Usually. I did with Song of Durin because I also love Clamavi De Profundus and that's where Geoff got his inspiration for the way he did the song and video. And it turned out absolutely gorgeous. His best video so far.
Greetings! First of all, "The Lion King" (animated, I never watched the life action version) is one of my favorite Disney Movies, too. It's one of the last "2D" movies for me without all the 3D CGI stuff Disney does today. Not everything is bad about that, but I have a "special relationship" to the old handmade Disney movies: My father was a great graphic artist and he had a job offer from the Walt Disney Company in the late 70s to work in Carl Barks team in Anaheim. But he didn't sign the contract, because 1)I was just a toddler and 2)in the 70s the world felt "bigger" than today. Flying on an airplane wasn't a usual way to travel, also the US seem to be a complete "other world" from a German's pov. In retrospect, perhaps I would have become a Californian Sunnyboy with Bermudas and a surfboard, but... Don't challenge decisions that were made in the past. Just keep them in mind for decision that lie ahead of you.😊 BTT (and sorry for the excurse): I also do like the way VP chose the costumes. They look a bit like a "Street Gang" or an Bad A..s MC , especially Geoff as the "president" 😄 Oh, and thank you! I learned some linguistic knowledge from you. I never thought about multiple meanings of "pride" in English (as a native German speaker, I'm not that deep into the English language). I only knew pride in the "self-esteem" or hubris meaning, but not the "pack" (in the sense of "the pride of lions") meaning.💡
