@@jessicasopranonotes If I didn't know any better, I'd have to say you seem to be a little flushed listening to Mr. Castellucci, with the utmost respect ma'am.
I agree, felt more like a shift in direction for them in that it's less 'pop', if Jess hasn't yet, his cover of Take me Home, Country Road is excellent. Also, Peter Hollens and Adam Chance (Home Free) also have a current cover of the same song. I want to add for Jess, that she has the warmest , most beautiful sounding voice I know of
I enjoy your analysis every bit as much as the singers / vocalist redition of these songs. My son is a Autistic young man, he so loved music as a baby and young child I encourage him by taking him for piano lessons. The instructor was ex Russian Opera singer, this women loved music. ( Reminds me of your passion for music) On James third week of lessons she ask if she could have a word with me after James lesson, alone?. I returned after his lesson where she ask "how many years has James been taking lessons?" I said three weeks why do you ask? She said the first week she showed James on the piano notes and how they sound, she was shocked the next week as James got every note she played correct, in order to impress upon me how rare this she drove it home by explaining she had college age students who have been students thier whole life yet could not do what James did in one week! Reminding me the students she taught were 22/23 years old!. I didn't say anything about this conversation to James right away, I waited a couple days before asking him how he was able to memorize the notes? He said simply "I can see the note and they are all different colors, I just remembered what color each note is ! Mind blown...not yet? I asked "where do you see them?" Just a I little annoyed he answered, "when she plays a note the note is right there in front of me!" Where I asked? "In the air over the piano!" Mind blown for sure god does bestow talents where needed, I think you too love music so much and for me it is inspiring, keep up the good work...music is food for the soul and conscience!
I'm so glad you got round to this one...that low note at the end always makes me smile, and its not just a ground shaker, he maintains his diction throughout, from the "N" straight through to the final hit of the "t" of the word night....
He released "16 Tons" which has become my favorite of his songs. I'm definitely a fan of his. Check it out, you will not be sorry. That an "Oogie Boogie Song" from Voiceplay. He sing's lead on it and it's amazing.
LOL!!! Who else but Jess can one minute give you music reactions with seriously deep music theory and follow it the next minute with undeniable evidence letting us know every cell in her body just underwent "musical ecstasy!" What a magical blend! This is what all-star YT reactors do! Feeding us musical knowledge for our minds and passionate artistic appreciation for our hearts....
@@jessicasopranonotes You're so welcome Jess and hey! "You jus' go on and be your 'bad' self!" All your subscribers deeply appreciate all you alter egos :-)
I'm only nitpicking because I know you appreciate technical terminology and jargon. With that being said, and as unbelievable as it may be, Geoff actually describes himself as a baritone with a bass range. From a technical perspective, he's correct
Sort of. His natural speaking voice is mid-bass and he is quite comfortable singing in baritone, then blasting those low notes. But, technically, he is a natural bass, just because of his natural speaking voice being so low; he just learned to push into contrabass.
I can totally see that! I hate the whole idea of placing someone in a "box" with a voice category. Whatever voice type he describes himself as, he's incredible ☺️
I always comment on how nimble Geoff is with his vocals. He's able to not only hit the notes, but sustain them without sounding strained or forced. Most (not all) basses are lucky to hit some of those notes, and often they are just a sound, whereas with Geoff, I can always hear and understand the actually words. Love your reaction and breakdown!
I have only seen three videos of Geoff Castellucci, this one, The Headless Horseman and Sixteen tons, and in all of them, the video work is superb to achieve the harmonies between the different voices he does. In Sixteen tons, it is also fantastic the use he makes of the tools of a mine to help himself as percussion instruments. Thank you very much for all the videos that you present to all of us. Greetings from Spain
@@janfigiel2738 I'm watching again her analysis of "Je suis malade" and after that, I'll go to look the Geoff Castellucci chanel and dive in his incredible voice
@@franciscojavierp.7162 I am not sure if you knew this but he is also the bass in a group called Voiceplay here on UA-cam. He has some amazing songs on that channel like the oogie boogie song.
@@dankraus9632 Yes, I knew them, not only that song but several, because Jess did the analysis of the song you mention and one in which the Grinch character (I think it is called that way) appeared. Both she and many other singing teachers, and of course we, the music fans, have been captivated by the wonderful work that this group and others like Pentatonix or Home Free do. Anyway, I think it's very good that you made the comment, because if another user doesn't know them, he/she can enter their channel or check the analysis made by Jess of these groups that sing acapella.
So much fun watching you react to and dissect this. Very animated and entertaining. I love watching someone who is educated enough to be scholarly on a subject, choose instead to just geek out and have fun :)
Just subscribed! Love your channel that I just found today! And I’d never heard this amazing rendition of a wonderful song. I’ve got to play Mr. C’s original video for my son, who has loved this song since I started playing for him when he was a toddler... and now that he’s a teenager playing 🎹 & taking music theory... I’ve got to also show him your *wonderful* analysis! 🙏🏼🎧 🎶 ♾🤘🏼 Oh just realized I’ve heard his rendition of 16 Tons that my dad played for me when I was a kid... too cool.
This is simply a GREAT song. It can be interpreted so many different ways. Geoff did a great job. I will be looking out for more of his solo work. I also recommend searching for “mi'kmaq blackbird emma stevens”. A high school project that translated “Blackbird” into a native language from the Canadian Maritimes and far NE U.S. Simply presented. Lovingly presented. Shows off the brilliance of the song.
Hey Jess! Welcome to the rabbit-hole of doom that we know as Geoff Castellucci. :) He's also sungThe Bare Necessities, 16 Tons, and Country Roads, take me home-- just to name a few --BEAUTIFULLY (if the I may say so myself).
I can't stop watching you react to Geoff, You are so thrilled and your joy makes your natural beauty transform into something "divine", I am developing such a crush on you. I wish I could sit all day and play "drop the needle" (vinyl reference) I play a song you play a song, you are just so lovable, sweetie
It gives me such great pleasure to see you enjoying the music so much. I have no idea about music, I can't sing or even play an instrument. But - your exhilarating remarks inspire me so much. It's so refreshing to see your enthusiasm and hear the profound explanations. THANK YOU !
We love you you are so vibrant and passionate. I watched the reactions to this video and it does seem to have quite an effect on the girls… We like the deep voices. I loved your assessment of this you are a major breath of fresh air always are
He has “how to sing bass” and how to do those really low notes tutorials on his channel. You should react to the new Voice Play video cover “My Mother Told Me” or to Geoff’s “Take me Home Country Roads” cover video next. The first would give you more vocal blend for the ear and the 2nd is a bass “treat”. Thanks for your reaction.
I love that I just mentioned Geoff in you're last live, and you enthusiastically said you did know him and here we are - Reaction!! 😁You kept this one close to your chest, although you did let us know many secrets to upcoming reaction releases. 😁👍❤️
I totally agree that Geoff is amazing, but... have you listened to Home Free doing “Take Me Home Country Roads”? For me, the arrangement and harmonies fit the song better. But that’s just my opinion ;-)
@@mikepope9503 i have, i was just suggesting another Geoff song for next time 🙂 as for home free i love there version of 'How Great Thou Art' from 2016 i believe.
I like Geoff as much as you . He is incredible vocal actor. We can see it in Oogie Boogie song and The Little Mermeid Medley .. Geoff as Ursula is great ( and blue ☺️). In the "My mother told me" mr Castelluci is using something like mongolian overtons( sorry for my English). It could be very nice to see your analisis beacuse yours are te most interesting. Best wishes.☺️👍
Thank you for your awesome reaction.....I love it when singers critique what is happening....he is just awesome in my opinion. If you want to hear Highs, and Lows from him..check out his cover of High and Dry
Simply tanks to explain to me and i suppose all of us something we can`t appreciate adequately before you arrive in our world with your knowledge and loving passionate personality. Now i'm surprise to appreciate a lot more the details i missed in my listening life. The music are not the same with you . i'm a 68th years old man alone with just one friend , the only relative in my life but with you , i remember i am a pretty good singer since my young (6 years old) age and maybe i will return signing in a gang or a choir because i practice with your help ..... and your passion. i don't know if my writing here have some signification to some people and if it was a necessity to do this ? I am a french language writer , sorry for the poor grammatical but you are the reason of my reaction to a lovely woman like you. Tanks again ❤
This is my favorite reaction that you have done. I really enjoyed watching you squirm around in the best parts of the song. Perhaps a seatbelt would be a good thing when reacting to him LOL. This was great! Regarding the song, it's a good song, but Geoff catches me with those low notes he throws in there. Harmonizing with himself was a nice touch so we can see his range, and he has a huge range. Thank you for your analysis, and your efforts making these videos. Take care and stay safe.
I would love to see you react to I’m not a vampire revamped by falling in reverse. The lead singer Ronnie is an amazing vocalist! He has spent a lot and effort working on his voice and it really shows
Love when you do Geoff. Love your reactions to his awesomeness. Can you do so more Homefree please if your lookin to do more Acapella stuff that would be great!
Can you take a look at Jonathan Young's "Bells of Notre Dame"? And if you want more Geoff, do Voiceplay's "Oogie Boogie Man." It's definitely my favourite song out of everything he's done.
Well, for Geoff solo work he did do a "16 ton's" video performance that was good. You might also try Voiceplay's Imagine Dragon's "Warriors" cover. or even their "Superstition" cover. They also did some Disney, "Little Mermaid Medley" and "Moana Medley" .
Paul MacCartney was being interviewed about this song. He said that he had written as a tribute for the American Civil Rights Movement which makes me love it even more. Geoff has done a magnificent arrangement on Blackbird.
If you haven't seen it already, he does a cover of Radiohead's 'High and Dry' that's even more impressive than this, believe it or not. And it's in the original key 😮
I was really impressed that he sang in his falsetto and sub-harmonic in the same progression near the end; I think it might have been in the same chord.
Pretty sure that note you were trying to identify was an A1. It sounded like a G#1 to me too, but an A would make more sense with the chord. That should be an A chord in this key. You wouldn't normally put a G# in the bass on an A chord. If you're going to sing a major 7th chord you almost always put the 7th on top to avoid the minor 9th interval. Besides, it didn't sound like a major 7th chord. It sounded like a straight major.
When he begins with the keyboard, the last chord of the intro with his left hand he plays the lowest key. Then he sings that lowest key as the lead register. Look at it, you will see.
@OperaSinger: You keep referring to the effortless quality of his voice, which reminds me of this simple observation by Danish polymath Piet Hein... "There is one art, No more, no less, It is the art of Artlessness." The ancient Greeks described this as Art of such quality that one was unable to figure out how it was done. Whether it's done in painting, or sculpture, or (in this case) singing, it's so impressive to experience such craftsmanship.
I love all of your reactions, but am surprised that you haven't reacted to Glennis Grace of Holland. Her own song Afscheid is incredible, her cover of Bon Jovi's Always is magnificent and her rendition of Whitney Houston's I wanna run to you is superb. She can sound exactly like Whitney, but she has her own voice and is nothing but lungs. I hope you give Glennis, one of the world's premier vocalists a chance and react to her. Thanks. Eric
Another wonderful reaction. If you can pull yourself loose from those low bass notes, can you listen to Lucy Thomas and react. I think this girl has an amazing voice, and I’d like your opinion/ reaction. She recently posted a cover of Eva Cassidy’s version of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”. She also does an excellent solo of”Hallelujah”. I think she’s another rising star. I think she’s 17 now. Thank you, I don’t know how to post a link on UA-cam.
Love your analysis. A good quality microphone would make it easier to understand you. I was having to turn the volume up when you were talking and then down again when Geoff was doing his thing. Cheers, and good luck for your channel.
You SERIOUSLY need to listen to Voiceplay Oogie Boogie song. if you ever want to hear Geoff's full range in a fun way, you must must must check it out!
You know you are good when you form your own 5-part choir and you cover Bass, Baritone, and Tenor by yourself. 🔥
RIGHT?!
Yes! He is amazing!
Thank you for explaining his vocals! I’m subscribing.
Let's not forget his falsetto.

I KNEW you were gonna love this one. ;)
His rendition of Radiohead's High & Dry is another great example of his talents.

Man just casually hits an E1 at the end lol
Digg that deeeeeep voice !
Intervalic distance. Wow great vocab !
My vote's for the Queen medley, but of course it's all the rest of Voiceplay showing off their super powers along with Geoff.
He. Is actually stated he is comfortable range is baritone. He has an amaging range!
I love all of your reactions, but am surprised that you haven't reacted to Glennis Grace of Holland. Her own song Afscheid is incredible, her cover of Bon Jovi's Always is magnificent and her rendition of Whitney Houston's I wanna run to you is superb. She can sound exactly like Whitney, but she has her own voice and is nothing but lungs. I hope you give Glennis, one of the world's premier vocalists a chance and react to her. Thanks. Eric
Geoff has a new cover, take me home country roads
All I can say, is nice!!!!
Love this song and love Geoff Castellucci! Have you heard him sing Shenandoah? It'll blow you away!
☺️ lol
Also if you liked this you’ll love his cover of high and dry. I highly recommend you check it out. 😊
Another wonderful reaction. If you can pull yourself loose from those low bass notes, can you listen to Lucy Thomas and react. I think this girl has an amazing voice, and I’d like your opinion/ reaction. She recently posted a cover of Eva Cassidy’s version of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”. She also does an excellent solo of”Hallelujah”. I think she’s another rising star. I think she’s 17 now.
Thank you, I don’t know how to post a link on UA-cam.
He has made a video explaining how to open up the low tones. You might want to look it up.
I aam so happy your are discovering Geoff.. try " the oogie boogie song' if you really wanna see his range.... that E1 rattles my entire skeleton
He has videos that teach how he learned. He will duet with people on TikTok. He live streams too. He's awesome
Love your analysis. A good quality microphone would make it easier to understand you. I was having to turn the volume up when you were talking and then down again when Geoff was doing his thing. Cheers, and good luck for your channel.
You SERIOUSLY need to listen to Voiceplay Oogie Boogie song. if you ever want to hear Geoff's full range in a fun way, you must must must check it out!
