The soloist for “Whole new World” is Drew Ochoa. A few years ago his barbershop quartet, After Hours, won the International convention gold medal. A very accomplished singer in his own right and fits perfectly well with Voctave.
If you want another example of Drew's excellence, check out his quartet's performance of "Take On Me" ua-cam.com/video/kmAYpZsYT8U/v-deo.htmlsi=rp_RAC03YLh7zzF4 You're going to love love love his upper range!
Being an a capella fan for years with Pentatonix and Home Free being my all time favorite groups I still have to say, Voctave is on a whole other level with their arrangements. They are truly masterful and I have to say I have not heard anyone coming even close to the magic they create.
THANK YOU, TARA for bringing back your reactions to Voctave. Drew is singing Aladdin and he is wonderful (see him in their “Remember Me” video). Oh, on their tour they told us that Chrystal does the costuming choices, since you mentioned. As my students in music say, "Any Day with Voctave is a Good Day."
I say the same thing about Drew, he smiles with his eyes. It's so beautiful, inviting, and endearing. What a gift. I definitely recommend reacting to Somewhere that they just released as well. Pure perfection.
Every single one of them has a magnificent voice but it is sooo magical when they combine. I shall be forever grateful to you Tara for introducing me to them a few years back.
This has to be their best Disney song so far and that note EJ holds at the end is incredible. That man has lungs of steel! And the guy who did Aladdin is Drew
As a musician I really appreciate your intuitive and spot-on comments. You are way above any other commentators in the way you convey even the smallest of nuances. Your channel and comments are true teaching avenues for everyone. Thanks!
Have soooo missed your Voctave reactions. So many awesome ones to do. Their covid induced version of You Will Be Found ( Dear Evan Hansen) with a huuuuuuuuge supporting cast is wonderful and West Side Story's Somewhere will give you chills and tears!! Do your thing pretty lady . ( and some salsa on the side)
I'm so excited! I received word yesterday that their new Christmas album just shipped. We're also going to see them in concert in Dayton Dec. 7th. This is going to be a very merry Christmas!
I believe that their great diction comes from so many of them having sung in Voices of Liberty at Epcot Center. That's a hallmark of vocal groups who sing at Disney parks.
Tara, I've always enjoyed your reactions, and this is no exception. I know this comes a little late (like 5 months), but I would really love for you to react to Voctave's cover of "Somewhere" which features each and every one of the members. And if you'd like a little more Broadway, check out their cover of "Goodnight My Someone", a Kate Lott solo. And finally, I recommend you listen to their "Disney Lullabies"... you will not be disappointed. I look forward to many more of your reactions!!!
Yep. Voctave does it again. I really love your Voctave reactions - PLEASE, don't wait so long to do more! As we are in the Christmas season please do some Voctave Christmas reactions. I'd like to recommend "Where Are You, Christmas?" featuring, Ashley Espinoza and her son Gael - it's absolutely stunning (make sure you have some tissues).
I got to meet Drew (singing A Whole New World here) and Aaron (singing Kill the Beast) at Walt Disney World last week. They are part of the Voices of Liberty who sing in the American Pavilion at Epcot. Super nice guys. We talked for a bit and got a pic with them!
Okay so a few things. Tara, your facial reaction on the first video, WAS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS! WERE YOU HAVING AN ALLERGIC REACTION? WHEN THAT MAN CARL HIT THAT LAST LOW NOTE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO CALL 911 FOR YOU.😂😂😂😂 THEN LATER ON, YOU WERE SO EXCITED THAT YOU GAVE THE STANK FACE NOT ONCE BUT TWICE! STANK IT UP TARA!😂😂😂😂 Anyway this was nice video. Thanks for sharing I love you so much! Amen!❤️😊🤗😘😘😘😘😘
EJ can get right the heck outta town on this one! 😂 But the standout of this one for me is Drew. The warmth from his voice and face make me wanna step onto that flying carpet.❤
Welcome back Tara! You've got lots of new Pentatonix to catch up on, inc!using solos from Mitch (under the name Messer) and Scott, including a song he wrote for his new husband!
Have been a subscriber for a quite some time. Love your channel. Don't forget about Voctave in December. You got to check out "Where Are You, Christmas." Bring a tissue.
I would imagine that you could probably break just this song down in a three credit continuing education masterclass...so much to talk about, so little time.
Tara: I love how well dressed they always are. Never scruffy... Me: now I WANT her seeing their Disney 90s TV Medley. Them dressing up as 90s teens there. I admit it's a one time only departure of dress code so far. ^^
I love the major a cappella groups (the 'big three'), but Voctave SOUNDS better than any group I've heard. Ever. Between the superhuman arrangements by Jamey, and the superhuman voices they ALL have... this group is just stunning. They epitomize the term "wall of sound."
Where are you christmas is so good Ashley is amazing plus i would love your opinion on the little boys vocals i think he's about 3 yrs old? I love your reactions
Dear Ms Simon, Your listening skills are supreme. I would love to hear your reaction to “Tuyo y Mio” (acoustic version 2023) by Camilo y Los Dos Carnales. Camilo’s voice is so different from Los Dos Carnales but to me they sound so great together, and it’s a beautiful song. Thank you for considering!
Tara! If you haven't heard of Samara Joy, I can't recommend her enough. Jazz singer at only 23 years old with multiple Grammys. Her voice is incredible

They're the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOING TO SEE THEM in a week.
They recently did a cover of Somewhere. Please take a look at that one. It’s so good!
11 unique and talented voices all getting solos, this should be catnip to Tara
Yes, please do!!
Please review Somewhere...it sent chills.
Just LOVE your squeals of joy when vocative moves you from critique to amazement! Sometimes words are just insufficient!

I’ve seen them live and they legitimately sound exactly like their recordings, it’s crazy. The talent and technique is amazing.
The name of the smiling guy who sings Alladin is Drew Ochoa.
No words can do them justice. Simply the best.
I screamed when I heard OUT THRRE!!! I freaking love it !
Tara you too make the world a better place! I LOVE your energy! You are also very beautiful! 😊
Awee. Thank u love
This has to be their best Disney song so far and that note EJ holds at the end is incredible. That man has lungs of steel! And the guy who did Aladdin is Drew

Thank you so much. That’s exactly what I hope to do through my channel.
Alladin singer is Drew Ochoa. Lead singer of the After Hours Barbershop Quartet!
And if you have not heard After Hours versions of "Take On Me", "Butter Outa Cream" and "Nowhere To Go But Up", you don't know what you're missing.
I love Voctave. And I love your energy & enthusiasm Tara !!!
If you like this you are gonna love their rendition of "somewhere" from West Side Story!
He is INSANE !!! WOOW|| Love low voices like that. They give me shivers
You really need to check out their cover of “Somewhere” from West Side Story. It is even more epic.
Girl I agree Voctave is amazing ♥been watching them for years now lol.
E.J. held that last note for 19 seconds. I am so glad they featured the men in this one. Loved your reaction 😊
I think it was more than 19 seconds, but I still got chills.
Because of Kate I have learned to live classical vocal and opera vocal. She is the reason I have expanded my love for music. So yes Kate is my fave.
Tara you are simply the best reaction going. Such passion and knowledge. Love watching your site.
Love your reaction to this amazing performance by Corvyx ❤️💯👍. He has new music being released soon!
Hey Tara! You don't know how much you've inspired me. Also your song walk away, it's helped me alot🤗
Have soooo missed your Voctave reactions. So many awesome ones to do. Their covid induced version of You Will Be Found ( Dear Evan Hansen) with a huuuuuuuuge supporting cast is wonderful and West Side Story's Somewhere will give you chills and tears!!

"Take a breath, dude! Are you purple?" I can't stop laughing!😂😂😂😂
that Guys got an amazing voice
Yes "Somewhere" is an awesome recommendation to do next. It's heavenly
I believe that their great diction comes from so many of them having sung in Voices of Liberty at Epcot Center. That's a hallmark of vocal groups who sing at Disney parks.
The guy who did a whole new world is Drew Ochoa! He did/does barbershop as a Lead I think
His last name is Ochoa. Lol. Probably an autocorrect.
@@IForgetWorlds yep thanks for the catch!
loved the hair Tara

I always love when EJ holds out his notes that you have to take three days off from work to hear the whole thing.
Voctave is the best thing that has ever happened to the world...
Not sure they top Jesus, but they’re surely awesome 🤩
Yep. Voctave does it again. I really love your Voctave reactions - PLEASE, don't wait so long to do more! As we are in the Christmas season please do some Voctave Christmas reactions. I'd like to recommend "Where Are You, Christmas?" featuring, Ashley Espinoza and her son Gael - it's absolutely stunning (make sure you have some tissues).
I met them 1 week ago!
I got to meet Drew (singing A Whole New World here) and Aaron (singing Kill the Beast) at Walt Disney World last week. They are part of the Voices of Liberty who sing in the American Pavilion at Epcot. Super nice guys. We talked for a bit and got a pic with them!

They’re simply amazing!
EJ can get right the heck outta town on this one! 😂 But the standout of this one for me is Drew. The warmth from his voice and face make me wanna step onto that flying carpet.❤
EJ holds the last phrase and the held last note for 27 seconds since he did not take a breath between them. What pipes.
Welcome back Tara! You've got lots of new Pentatonix to catch up on, inc!using solos from Mitch (under the name Messer) and Scott, including a song he wrote for his new husband!
Love them all but Jamie’s voice is so beautiful.
this reaction is my favourite, u make things fun and shine, thnxx :)
Awee. Thank u! I’m so glad u enjoyed it.
Have been a subscriber for a quite some time. Love your channel. Don't forget about Voctave in December. You got to check out "Where Are You, Christmas." Bring a tissue.
I love seeing how much you enjoyed this!
Nice bass line, and a hearable bassline.
great reaction ! I love your energy!
They just released a “Disney Lullabies” medley. Worth a listen.
You MUST review Somewhere by Voctave, CRAZY GOOD !
That Tara, is Drew Ochoa. Great voice in some great groups, including some barbershop!
Will you please interview Voctave next? That will definitely be fun to watch!
Oh que hermoso bajo !
I love voctave and I love your reactions to it. Please react to "somewhere" from them.
Oh my Lord. I love EJ!
You should react to EJ’s brother, Omar Cardona’s, performances from ‘The Voice’. He was on the the show last year, and you will be blown away.
Your reaction is what makes me happy, but Kate makes me cry.
I would imagine that you could probably break just this song down in a three credit continuing education masterclass...so much to talk about, so little time.
Facts! So good!
The newest members are Aaron (beauty and the beast) and Drew (Aladdin)
Hi, Tara! I absolutely love Voctave! Will you be reacting to VoicePlay again? Perhaps something featuring J? ❤
Wish I'd been born with a 'Voice'! Instrumentalist, here.
Great reaction Tara!
Hallo Tara! More Voctave please. Please do O Holy Night by them since it's near holiday season already. Cheers!
You should definitely do one with your students. Anyone?
Tara: I love how well dressed they always are. Never scruffy...
Me: now I WANT her seeing their Disney 90s TV Medley. Them dressing up as 90s teens there. I admit it's a one time only departure of dress code so far. ^^
I love the major a cappella groups (the 'big three'), but Voctave SOUNDS better than any group I've heard. Ever. Between the superhuman arrangements by Jamey, and the superhuman voices they ALL have... this group is just stunning. They epitomize the term "wall of sound."
EJ!
Amazing!!!!!
Yes. They are planets top notch.
Excelente!
Where are you christmas is so good Ashley is amazing plus i would love your opinion on the little boys vocals i think he's about 3 yrs old? I love your reactions
Oh-Em-Geee!
Dear Tara, please, react Gabriel Henrique's presentation in the semifinal. Kisses from Brazil.
Dear Ms Simon,
Your listening skills are supreme. I would love to hear your reaction to “Tuyo y Mio” (acoustic version 2023) by Camilo y Los Dos Carnales. Camilo’s voice is so different from Los Dos Carnales but to me they sound so great together, and it’s a beautiful song. Thank you for considering!
Please do a reaction video to Emma Kok singing Voilà with André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra!
It's also been a while since you reacted to Sohyang.
Will you please do a reaction video to Voctave "Let the be peace"?
react to voctave prince of egypt medley. you will be blown away
What I'd give for EJ's lung capacity! Heck, just even half of it.
Please react to Forestella - Time in a Bottle. Their tenor guy is amazing!!!
XDDD more please
PLS react to Tarryn Stokes Sings Coldplay's 'The Scientist'
Hey Tara, can you react to Colm Mcguinness's cover of Hell's Comin With Me?
Tara! If you haven't heard of Samara Joy, I can't recommend her enough. Jazz singer at only 23 years old with multiple Grammys. Her voice is incredible
Yes! Second this! Perhaps Guess Who I Saw Today, or her Grammy’s performance
Being able to sing that long without breathing should not be allowed.
They're impressive for sure,but the originals are the ones that get me,especially the singing voice of Scar.💘💘💘
First
You ruined the end with all you’re screaming. Does that not occur to you?
Dovresti reagire al " principe d' Egitto" ciao grazie " dei Voctave bellissima , come te😊
