Check out my first ever reaction to VoicePlay next ua-cam.com/video/gTa5fFcpS8M/v-deo.html
Thank you for another great reaction to Voice Play. Please do a reaction video to Voice Plays cover of Hell Fire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Also Voice Plays mash up of Queen songs titled Queen In 5 Minutes. It is a very theatrical mash up & their story telling is awesome. Also Geoff's solo cover to Shenandoah. He loves to clone himself 3 or 4 times to harmonize with himself. Please put these on your to do list.
@@marshayoung9387Hellfire is fantastic!!
Seeing someone discover VoicePlay is one of my favorite things! And it's even better when that person has the musical knowledge to appreciate their creativity and talent.
Yes! Because some people just don’t “get it”. I feel bad for those people 😅
And I learn so much more when a knowledgeable person takes the effort to disect and explain nuances that I missed.
I would recommend Hoist the colours from Voiceplay. You can see more theatrical side. We don't talk about Bruno (from movie Encanto) is more one the humorous side but very complex in structure.
For a bit of fun I suggest listening to their version of Hall of the Mountain King. A good example of their silly side.
Yes yes please!!!
Sir Hairless: Let me know what other VoicePlay songs you would like me to react to in the future......
Me: ....👀all of them 😶
I second this 😁
If you enjoy Earl and Queen he is featured in their more theatrical cover of 'Queen in Five'.
It's always a wonderful treat when Layne sings for a whole song.
And quite rare
@@aaroncoffman88 Sadly, yes. But he does seem to be doing it a bit more.
@DravenGal And personally I am happy about that. Layne has an incredible voice. I keep waiting for him to start his own solo channel like Geoff. With 2 of the Laynes beat boxing while the other 2 sing
@@aaroncoffman88 PattyCake takes up too much of his time for him to do solo work as well, I think.
Quite rare. I think the only other where he only sings is True Colors and I Can’t Make You Love Me.
I would love to hear you react to voice Play Mountain King, being a classical musician and all. Thanks for your reaction.
Layne's Hall of the Mountain King is so incredibly character driven and the arrangement is incredibly dynamic and I can't wait until you discover it. Your classical take will be exciting... However long it takes to discover it
YES, Hall of the Mountain King is an incredible arrangement and shows their comedic and theatric style. Please!!!
Another great example of VP having fun while storytelling is The Little Mermaid medley
I'm really enjoying your analysis and appreciation. Thank you so much for opening up the intricacies behind their songs.
🎢 🎪 🎢 ... well , Sir .. I mean Sir Hairless, ...... you have landed on a tricky truth ..
Voiceplay = good filth !!!!!
So , so , glad are entering the Voiceplay kaleidoscope which is magically colorful. I have been surprised so many times by this group with harmony , or chord choices , costumes and make up , or mnd bending vocal range .. and their choices of excellent songs. " ... oh , the tension ...... " .. lol lol - too good Sir Hairless 👨🦲 ..
You are helping me have a happy Friday. Cheers to you .. enjoy your weekend!!!! 🌎🌎🌎👣👣👣🌎🌎🌎👣👣👣🌎🌎🌎
One of their best and more theatrical pieces is Queen in 5 Minutes. It is truly amazing. They tell a story using Queen songs, and each plays a role.
I love how you are so very technical with your comments. It is quite a bit easier to listen to all the parts in depth and makes the songs so much better.
Really enjoying the way you break it all down - especially showing us how the chords are made up on the piano. While I sing, I was never afforded a true musical education and so don't have any idea why certain harmonies work, just that I love the sound of them. Thank you for explaining what is going on!
Thank you
As one Hairless Englishman to another, bravo sir! Your analyses and full-on dissections of these artists (especially the a capella groups) leaves me in awe of your knowledge and talent! I look forward to more of the "Big 3" (Pentatonix, Home Free & Voiceplay) but, if you want a one-off vocally awesome, emotionally-charged song, please react to Voctave's version of "Mary, did you know?" (featuring the original lyricist of the song, Mark Lowry). It's bloody fantastic! Keep up the sterling work 😊
Yes!! That is my favorite Voctave cover. I was going to request the heck out of it closer to Christmas time lol
Both songs you've analyzed are Geoff arrangements, can't wait to see you breakdown a Layne arrangement. Learning a lot and really enjoying it, thank you.
Your “Ahhh, the tension” exaggerated grimace mini-moment made me laugh out loud. You’re a delight after a horrid week at work! ❤
Nice choice for a follow-up to Nothing Else Matters. I would suggest Hall of the Mountain King featuring Liz who joins them with operatic singing. As an orchestral piece of music without words, it is incredible to see performed acapella.
If you want to hear another beautiful song in this vein, check out Geoff's multi-Geoff rendition of the folk song "Shenandoah." It's his wife's favorite song and he just knocks it out of the park.
I love that they do all their own arranging. So multitalented!
Their most theatric performance, well for me is their cover of oogie boogie song from nightmare before christmas they go full in character voice that I havent heard done by other groups. I also think you will enjoy their medley covers like the little mermaid medley or wicked medley
Thank you for your detailed analysis! I would love to hear your responses to Hell Fire, or Sleeping in the Cold Below, or What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor
So happy to see you with Voiceplay again. They are so great and your analysis is great also!
Thanks! Expect many more VP reactions to come in the future
Very nice and interesting analysis, thank you very much. 🙂
To try their theatrical and funny side, you may try either their version of "We don't talk about Bruno", from Disney animated movie "Encanto", or "In the hall of the Mountain King", which I believe you know well (it's from Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt", just in case...), which I'm very curious to hear your thoughts about, or maybe "The Dragonborn comes - Skyrim" for the theatre, or the Viking "pair" made of "My Mother told me" and "Valhalla calling". But to have together BOTH the theatrics and the fun, I'd say "Drunken Sailor". Hilarious. 😅
See you next time| 🙂
Ooh la la, Sir... that was not only 'good filthy', but really 'deliciously filthy' :) Loving your good mood and always wonderful explanations, thank you!
Oh, all those crunchy chords!!! And there is one more cover of this you must see. It's Pentatonix's version. I know it has to be coming.... Love watching your face as they sing. Thank you so much!
Most definitely listen to PTX’s version. It is beautiful
This is another one arranged by Geoff. I will definitely be excited for you to check out a more theatrical one and a Layne arrangement. I love how you chose this one because I definitely wasn’t expecting this to be your next reaction. I hadn’t seen anyone recommend it. I appreciate you pointing out the rhythmic changes and tension because it’s hard for me sometimes to pinpoint exactly what it is about VoicePlay that… keeps you on your toes which you also mentioned. They have a knack for taking a song that you think will be “basic and calm” and still make it exciting. They keep the original feel and sound of a song while also making it new, different and fresh. I can’t wait to see what you pick next!!!
Yeah it was recommended a number of times! I've received recommendations for many VoicePlay songs in the comments of my first video so the list is already quite big for them 😅
I'm loving their arrangements so far (from the two I've heard)!
@@SirHairless You have a lot to catch up on with them for sure. I have my favorites but everything they do is enjoyable in its own special way. Watching you learn them is SO MUCH FUN!
I just joined your UA-cam channel, Sir.
I have watched hundreds of review and analysis videos, and I have not found anyone else who provides as much useful and insightful information. Before watching your videos, I never felt anyone had earned my paid membership. I really appreciate your detailed analysis from making me hear new things in songs I have listened to many times to teaching me why I like something in a song or helping me to understand what notes I am hearing in a harmony or introducing me to new artists.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you, and welcome! I'm happy to hear you find value in these videos 😊
I waited patiently for this. Heads up that both reactions have been to music arranged by Geoff. Both Laine and Eli arrange for VoicePlay too.
Excellent reaction!
Loving your analysis of voiceplay. Always fun to have someone who understands arrangements listening and analysing. Cannot wait to see more
HAPPY FRIDAY IT'S VOICEPLAY!! My theory is that because Geoff can sing any note on and off the keyboard he likes to use them all when makes these arrangements 🤣 Maybe try Valhalla Calling next for fun vibes they go completely mental, its awesome
Love hearing your breakdown of my favorite acapella group. They have such a diverse catalog of music.
So great! I loved your breakdown. I can’t wait for the next VP video! You really can’t pick a bad VoicePlay song. They are all great. Can’t wait for you to see the playfulness of the guys too! 💛💛💛
I learn so much from your reactions. Thank you. And as someone in the comments has said re suggesting another song, the answer is "all of them!"
I would add "PLEASE check out Geoff's solo channel" as well.
Please please please keep these Voiceplay reactions coming! I'm learning so much
I love your reaction to this one -- your facial expressions throughout, but especially in the end section where the one line repeats over and over, were just wonderful. Aside from the musical beauty of this arrangement, I love the facial expressions of the men -- I imagine their significant others are standing just off-camera and they're singing directly to them. Either that, or they've all fallen in love with the wall behind the camera, and while I think they're all pretty good actors, I prefer to think there were sweet people smiling back at them.
i would dearly love to sing this with a group. i *love* singing scrunchy harmonies!
Tim Foust did a rendition of this song. Just him singing and playing the piano. There’s no video so it’s audio only. But absolutely worth a listen.
Another really great reaction. Listening to you analyze and expound on the voices and arrangements is so much fun, the time goes by so quickly. Earl has a great voice for sure. One of my favorite fun videos by them is We don't talk about Bruno. But there are a lot of them.
You have to check out next: “valhalla calling”, “my mother told me”, “dragonborn”, “oogie boogie”
You did great here... others have recomended already. So I'm left in anticipation of further reactions to VP. 🎉❤
I LOVE all the crunchy chords in this one.
PTX does an awesome version of this as well. More traditional than voiceplay’s cover, but awesome!
Thank you, sir for another delicious breakdown of a VoicePlay song. Waiting for another one. 🤩👍
almost forgot: I would like to see reaction to "the lion sleeps tonight" voiceplay-version
Thanks, that one is already on my list for a future reaction 👌
This made me cry the first time I saw and heard it. It's so beautiful. Earl up and left Voiceplay a while back, but luckily we have years of his singing with the group to look back on.
I love this song. Geoff dropped a new solo at noon today, Unshaken. Thanks for teaching me extra things. Can't wait to get my piano back once I get out of this little camper. The dissonance in some of these chords is so good especially as it resolves. Three of my lighter favorites are In the Hall of the Mountain King, Little Mermaid and Drunken Sailor. Another beautiful one is I Can't Make You Love Me.
I know you have another Voiceplay cover picked out. Both of these that you've heard are Geoff arrangements. If the next one is not Layne's, I hope you will be sure to choose one.
In the Air Tonight - Brilliant
The Lion Sleeps Tonight - Hysterical
Little Mermaid Medley - Theatrical and hysterical
Eli has done a couple of arrangements and a few collaborations with Layne. My favorite arrangement from him is Eleannor Rigby.
My favorite Layne arrangements are In the Hall of The Mountain King, Hellfire, Oogie Boogies Song, Valhalla Calling, The Little Mermaid Medley and In the Air Tonight 😅
It would be interresting to have a classical musician's opinion on Eleonor Rigby because of the very unique twist in this arrangement...
Really great reaction 😊 I learned a lot! I love Voiceplay and am happy you discovered them.
Chills chills! Beautiful. 😮 I'm not a big Elvis fan.(Don't judge me.… but I like this song!)
💖R/A 🎼
This one is so beautiful. I just love VP. You might like Geoff's solo work. 16 tons or House of the rising sun are great, along with his Halloween stuff. My favorite is Monster mash. As for fun Voiceplay songs, "In the hall of the mountain king" or "We don't talk about Bruno" are really fun for sure.
Loved your break down of this one. Can't wait for you to get to enjoy the fun side of these guys.
It's always exciting for me to find a new reactor who has so much knowledge to share about how these magical arrangements actually work. It's hard to pick songs to suggest, because there are so many options. Maybe Drunken Sailor for a more theatrical look at how unexpectedly complex they can make something traditionally simple? Also, I would encourage you to dip into Geoff Castellucci's solo channel (the bass) when you get the chance. I would love to hear you break down his version of Shenandoah (or any of his covers, really).
If you love heart-tugging Voice Play covers, you should check out "Creep" originally by Radiohead. Great reaction though ❤😊😊
Love voiceplay, and excited that you are delving into their catalog:)
They have so many awesome theatrical songs that it's hard to really choose. I've seen In the Hall of the Mountain King mentioned, as well as The Little Mermaid medley, and I think both are phenomenal choices for your analysis style (though you may end up needing a few more pauses, lol).
great performance and very interesting analysis as always thank you
Thank you for your second reaction to Voice Play. Another great vocal composition by Voice Play you should check out is the HALO Theme featuring singer Scott Porter. Scott was original member when the group was called 4:2:Five. Halo Theme is the soundtrack to the video game Halo: Combat Evolved.
Thank you so much for your lovely reaction and analysis!
I'm a Voiceplay newb, but I recommend "Hellfire" and "Valhalla Calling" for the theatrical side.
I learn quite a lot from your reactions thank you!💝💞
Another in-depth technical analysis of one of my favorite groups. Thanks.
🫡
Dios, que hermosas voces. Cuantas versiones de este tema y todas hermosas. Gracias al compositor y a ti por reaccionar y enseñarnos tanto. Un abrazo de madre como siempre.
Really enjoyed your reaction and analysis. Looking forward to your analysis of Queen in 5 mins, Dragonborn comes, Hoist The Colours, …. Really all of them…😂
The emotions this song evokes are just amazing! Even as a teenager, this song made me want to find that love!!! Such a wonderful realization that love never fails at any age! “Where angels dare to tread!” Beautifully done!!!!
Suppose we start lobbying for VoicePlay to perform "Fools Rush In"? Wouldn't they be sensational with that song?
Thanks for the detailed reaction.
A fantastic educational experience. You have an almost magical way of explaining things to people who don’t have the knowledge you do.
I tend to gravitate to certain groups and certain songs/arrangements. I believe the term that you use “scrunchie” refers to what has been described as dissonance. I think that’s what I really gravitate to. I love the unexpected tones. And now I will be listening more carefully to the tempos that they use. I’ll probably not catch a lot of it but I’ll be listening.😊
I don’t know if this is accurate because I have no musical training but I have heard that Geoff’s arrangements are more harmonically complex and Layne’s tend to be more rhythmically complex. I think that would sort of go along with Layne being a beat boxer.
But I have to guess by whether or not Geoff has been pushed to do something he’s not necessarily comfortable doing. If that’s the case or if he’s featured more then it’s a Layne arrangement. Layne and Geoff have known each other since middle school when they started singing together and he likes to push Geoff.
Eli has co arranged a number of pieces with Layne , and done two of his own. His most recent arrangement of Radiohead’s Creep is the first version that I’ve truly liked. I know it’s popular, but I always got angry stalker vibes from it. As an introvert, I prefer the reflective element in their cover.
You’re right!!! And from what I understand, at some point Layne was an EDM producer. His arrangements are really rhythmically complex, even more so than Geoff’s. The unexpected is what I really love from these guys.
@@thisismetoday7423 I forgot about the EDM. That probably adds to his expertise as well.
Thank you! Really appreciate it Yes, scrunchy/juicy/filthy chords are a result of dissonances, and resolved suspensions are resolved dissonances 🎵 I also love dissonances (and suspensions, shock 😅)
Thanks for the information!
Hall of the Mountain King. Please. It is so creative.
Enjoyed the video. Would love to hear your take on Hellfire - Voiceplay's version that is.
Thanks for your detail and breakdown on this one, I've been listening to it for two years now and I'm still not bored. They are indeed master arrangers!
This was my personal favorite Voiceplay line-up and their last entirely full-time roster (they had these five from the end of 2017 through about mid-2020).
Great analysis. If you want to hear a really fun VP song The Lion Sleeps Tonight is really different to the more serious ones so far. It has everything including whistle notes from Cessr. In the Hall of the Mountain King for fun and theatrics. Drunken Sailor for a really different take on a traditional song and a great arrangement- listen to the end after the screen goes black for that one especially.
Thanks for the recommendations 👌
So...
A huge Disney catalog. Pick your favorite Disney musical and enjoy.
Broadway -- Their version of wicked is just that. Also If I were a Rich Man/Girl.
Sh-Boom -- Plain ol' 60s doo wop fun.
Tennessee Whiskey is so smooth.
Video Games - Skyrim The Dragonborn Comes
You could do just Voiceplay and have more material than one YT channel could cover.
Again another brilliant reaction and analysis!! Indeed VoicePlay's arrangement tend to have a lot crunchy harmonies and interesting rhythm changes, and I really enjoy finding those intricacies in their songs. I'm glad that you can immediately pick up and appreciate those details. I also love your humor in this (Ah! the tension! 😂) Wonderful job!!
I do miss Earl, i love his voice
I love watching your reactions, you are so talented ❤🥰
Thank you
TY for VP content! Please please please do reaction to "Phantom of the opera" by Voiceplay! There is short one but incredible one!!!💘
You want theater? You want fun? ANY of their movie medleys. :)
Yes! Their Disney Medleys are soooo good!
Another song that features Earl is Daddy Sang Bass. It's got a few cute shenanigans and ends in a very moving and touching way. I cry every time.
Queen in 5 minutes probably showcases his voice the most. Also Boy Bands in 5 Minutes.
@@thisismetoday7423 I love Queen in 5 minutes! 🤩 There's so much going on, ya gotta watch it at least 5 times to catch it all.
And I love all the shenanigans in Boy Bands in 5 minutes. 😁 Another one I can watch over and over again. (Oh, who am I kidding, I can say that about most VoicePlay songs.)
But I got about half through the comments and saw no one mentioned Daddy Sang Bass. Not many people request that one for some reason. 🤷
@@maskedmallard537 Queen in 5 minutes is really cool in so many ways. Boy Bands in 5 minutes is just extra entertaining to me though. It’s the dancing I think. I was surprised both Geoff and Eli have some moves! 😅
I love Daddy Sang Bass because I love everything they do but it’s not one of my top favorites. Probably not in the top 25 for me if I were to rate them all lol I actually thought about that recently, would be so hard to rank or rate them because they don’t have a bad cover! 😀
Thank you for another great analysis of a great VoicePlay cover!
Interesting that the VoicePlay songs you've analyzed so far are both arranged by Geoff Castellucci. Geoff and Layne Stein split the majority of the arrangements between the two of them, and I used to try to figure out from the sounds who did the arrangements, but they fooled me so many times that I've just given up and take a look at the description box anymore!
Another song arranged by Geoff that I think is similar to this one (and again done without going "musical theater") is I Can't Make You Love Me, the melancholy hit by Bonnie Raitt. It has yet another lineup, with Cesar back in (he's the one who wanted to do the song), and a guest artist E. J. Cardona, who sings tenor for the a cappella group Voctave.
The member you didn't know is Earl Elkins, Jr. as you found out. He was one of the founding members, but left the group in 2020 for undisclosed personal reasons. His high tenor is something I've always compared to a laser beam - if he focuses it on you, you're going to know you've been hit!
Valhalla calling, we don’t talk about Bruno, and hellfire. Also check out Geoff channel for his own songs, some done with “ doppelgängers”
I recommend Tim Foust's version (audio only). Just Tim being Tim and playing his piano. Gorgeous.
Your analysis was really informative. I was so glad to see it pop up. This song tends to get overlooked because reactors do assume it will just be a simple arrangement. Even when VoicePlay do simple, it's never boring. It's right there in the name. They like to play, in many different ways. And don't worry, you will get plenty of Layne's inventive percussion if you keep delving into their catalog. (Though we also enjoy his lovely singing voice, so don't let a potential lack of beatboxing be a deterrent if you want to check out more ballads.)
Восторг! Я не слышала этой песни от них) Спасибо огромное)
Geoff is dropping his video tomorrow.
Loving your reaction, and analysis. Two of my favorite Layne arrangements are True Colors and Tennessee Whiskey.
Tennessee Whiskey for melody and beauty. Yes! Also, Hellfire, which is more theatrical.
Always a pleasure to listen to you no matter what you are reacting to ❤❤❤
after watching some of reaction i realy Like your style of Analysis and video structure
Great reaction, I always learn so much. Thank you! Both of these were arranged by Geoff. I'd love to hear you react to one of Layne's arrangements, and a fun one is Hall of the Mountain King. (yes, by Grieg.) Historically, they split arrangements roughly 50/50. Moving forward, Eli will be picking up a share. (But he does have a brand new baby at home, so I don't know when this new plan will kick in.)
Oooh, would be on the lookout for your next reaction as I am quite curious what you are going to listen to!! They always add the "VP touch" to their arrangements. This is very different, but beautiful nonetheless. Thank you for your detailed analysis. 🌹🕊
I think this was so beautiful ❤
Highly recommend Oogie Boogie’s Song. To me that’s the best Voiceplay theatrical song and video.
Looking forward to more Voiceplay (Hoist the Colors and Enemy are really theatrical) and for you to hear some Voctave (i'd suggest starting with Disney Princess Medley or Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame)
Oh My! You haven’t seen their version of “Seven Nation Army” yet!!???! OMG. It’s amazing, it’s theatrical, it’s Everything.
Not yet, I've only done two VP reactions so far! One for the future though, for sure 🎶
There is a same song from pentatonix 😉
Please do theirs too. It's from the Avi era so you're good to do it now.
I've been listening to Voice Play and Home Free both for 10 years, since they each performed on The Sing-Off. I'll let you know when I find a bad arrangement by either group.
As for Earl, we'll, we miss him. He was a founding member who stepped away shortly after this video due to personal reasons. Cesar took that opening, and then J None left just after that because the US Navy wanted him in their Choir. He does still stop by to sing with the guys whenever he has a chance.
J None left before Cesar. Earl was never replaced. Cesar replaced J None.
Earl was known for his LASER-LIKE cutting voice that just....punched through everything. I know all of us were very sad when he left the group, but....we wouldn't have Cesar if he hadn't. So I guess it's OK. :)
It certainly is a very distinctive voice!
Great reaction. Sir if I may a request?….Faouzias new drop “Fur Elise”, her “live version”shows her amazing vocals. Ty, hope all is well. Love from USA 🇺🇸 ❤❤
Thanks for the recommendation! I can't promise I can fit this in anytime soon - I have another Faouzia song lined up for my next Faouzia reaction which is a Patreon request, but maybe some time in the future!
For me VoicePlay's arrangements are just stunning. Earl had/has a very high tenor voice though his lower voice is, for me, more enjoyable. Less piercing. Geoff refers to Earl's high voice as "Earl's World", a world he never enters. Of course, he can go quite high, but not that high. :) Another one in this vein is True Colours, but for a different feel, ELO's Mr Blue Sky is one I really like. But there are so many it's hard to choose.
I’m curious, have you ever delved into any really good barbershop? The is a song titled My Coloring Book the Sidewinders did long ago that I think you might enjoy.
I used to listen to barbershop on UA-cam as a young teen - I often accredit barbershop with really teaching me to hear different vocal lines in acapella arrangements
