I heard a theory that each monster represents mental disorders/fears Noodle: Claustrophobia (from being shipped in a FedEx crate twice), PTSD (the El Mañana incident), and anxiety. That’s probably why her monster wouldn’t give her any personal space nor privacy. Russel: has insomnia, sleep paralysis, and the fear of being possessed again, that’s why his monster holds him still in the bed. Murdoc: the fear of genuinely being happy without relying on vices like drugs, alcohol, and kinky sex, due to being abused by his father growing up. This is why he looks like he’s having the time of his life, but in reality he was terrified. 2D: from the way the video portrayed it, he most likely has bulimia nervosa. This can be supported since he has anxiety, was constantly abused by Murdoc, and had a lot of traumatic events in his life. He originally turned to abusing his painkillers to deal with his pain, but those painkillers also killed his appetite… so his weight also gave him a new source of control when he felt like there was almost no control and probably started off as an anorexic in the earlier phases. Eventually he was taken off the painkillers, and the withdrawals can included increased anxiety, and appetite coming back in a vengeance. However by that time he was taken off painkillers, he was already known as the Pretty Boy Frontman singer for the gorillaz, and with his increased appetite, he still had to maintain his “pretty boy” image, which probably led to him developing purging behaviors. Ik it’s a cartoon, but it sorta makes sense in the later phases, 2D is always eating something, he’s also the only one in the group that’s clinically underweight (with the only exceptions being phase 1 when the band started. Also he looked healthy in Phase 5 when Murdoc got locked up), yet he’s in his 40s (noodle is the only one that ages in the group but still), it would be predictable if his character gained weight from all that food, but he never seems too. Also it could explain why his teeth always seem to get worse and worse with each phase. While sure, he lost the first few when Murdoc crashed his car, 2D went flying out the window and essentially gave 2D an 8 ball injury (which doesn’t make you blind btw), so he might have lost a few teeth from there. However his teeth keep getting worse throughout each phase. Also 2D is based off the creator Damon Alburn, and Alburn has opened up about having an eating disorder when he was younger as well, so it’s possible that 2D is or was secretly struggling himself as a character. That’s why he was attacked by food. + if you pay attention to the lyrics, the song is literally about giving into vices, and going broke from a gambling addiction as well. Which supports the theory that this video could be about each bands members Vice/fears/mental issues they struggle with. Also great reaction btw 💜

This song is about Avi being homesick for his town he grew up in.

@barnano

Wonderful song of Marcelito Pomoy one of the best singer from the Philippines

Mitch rapping is my favorite thing ever!!!

❤

TX for this reaction. Greetings from South Africa

The guy is talented. You are not...

Hola como estas...por favor puedes reaccionar tambien a otros temas hermosos de celine dion, como por ejemplo when i need you, call the man, riverdeep mountain high, the power of love, the power of the Dreams, i believe in you Whit IL Divo muchas gracias 😘

I understand what you are saying but I respectfully disagree. Super leads, tight harmonies, and the exceptional rhythm section is sometimes enough.

This is a great great song by Avi. Thank you so much. Greetings from South Africa

I love them with an unmatched passion. Appreciate you. Greetings from South Africa

Ren has an upcoming song next Thursday, he is calling for help from the reaction community so PLEASE react to the song because he deserves support! Go to his channel for more information.

👏👏👏You will enjoy the music of Ren, so many genres he sings, & instruments self taught, 💛of gold " The Ren Effect is real 🫶

Ren is an absolute GEM. Thank you for this reaction.

Yeah...this one was pretty ordinary. It was done when they were all separated for the pandemic, so filmed and recorded in their own homes.

I think this was another song from the pandemic where they couldn't be together in the same room. I really like this video, tho! Like you said, great energy!

❤❤much love and thank you for supporting our boi❤❤

I liked what you said about Hi Ren If your interested in further tracks can I suggest Troubles is a recent hip hop song about Ren's struggles with Chronic sickness Back on 74 message in a bottle retake is a good example of his singing Or Fred Again mash up Genesis or The Hunger are both rap Nas Halftime retake is a tribute in rap to Nas Murderer official video or Murderer Acoustic Power is also good For older songs With his band The Big Push I shot the Sheriff Road to Zion Hip hop version Or Englisman in New York Hope to see some of these with you Will share to fan site

Benson Boone is his name. No band name - yet. He has a new record out, with lots of great songs. He's a great lyricist. Gotta love Benson Boone!! Yes, he is American from Monroe, Washington😊

Ren has been living through hell for 13 years before this release, He is the definition of a tortured soul. L copied this and post it on new reactors messages. He was bitten by a tick when he was 16 or 17 He got really sick from it and went to doctors and they could not figure what was wrong with him. When he had joint pain, muscle spasms, skin rashes, boils, internal organs started shutting down, And Doctors had no idea what was going on. He was loosing weight and had constant fatigue could not even stand to shower.. Doctors started sending him to psychological evaluations, They told him his mind was making him sick ! And started treating him for that with some heavy pharmaceuticals. And all that shit really fucked with his mind, He started believing he was crazy. And this went on for 8 fucking years !! 8 YEARS !! He pursued his own symptoms and lead to a Doctor that gave test for Lyme disease. Where he lived it was very rear to ever contract Lyme disease so he was never tested. When he went in described his symptoms the Doctor knew what he had. Ran the DNA test and found it in his system. However it has been in there for 8 years and has done a lot of damage to his body. He can only eat like 6 things his bones still hurt and the autoimmunity may never be healed. He had to go into surgery to remove tissue to generate stem cells grown outside his body then under go treatment taking the stem cells to remove the Lyme disease chromosome. That was in LA then he went to Calgary and under going treatment on the damage the Lyme left.. He is still there until July. His song Fred Again Mash up is 5 songs from EDM artist Fred Again and Ren put 5 together and made a acoustic version that he poured emotion into to it..

Beautiful. What a voice!! Tx for this. Greetings from South Africa

Nice reaction! Keep reacting to Ren. His music is terrific and he has a massive fan base. When they find you they will flood your channel. I suggest you try MONEY GAME PT. 1, but all of Ren's songs bang. (HI REN, by the way, was filmed live from a single take, something Ren excels at.)

I just love réaction that are made in the recording studio because theres way more informations about the song compared to a video thanks that was an informative réaction bravo

You have the correct interpretation of this song. It is about hope that we get through dark times.

Ashley and Cesar started life in Puerto Rico before their 2 families moved to Florida. So they speak Spanish fluently. I think they met and found each in the arcade and eventually it didn't work out. Have you reacted to We Don't Talk About Bruno (Encanto)? She's in that one with VoicePlay, also Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush/Stranger Things), If I Were a Rich Man/Girl (Fiddler on the Roof), some minis - Shero Reacts, River, Your Turn to Role, Time Warp, Como La Flor (Selena), Pink Panther Theme, and more.

Thank you for reacting to my request. I will share it with some Celine fans. Hopefully by uploding this reaction, you will also help someone. And as Celine said, even if it helps one person, it will be an amazing thing 🫶 Thank you 🙏

There are now 3 Adams in this group

Adam Bastien did a good job. Austin (redhead) left the group in June and Adam’s been doing good. Thought it was a good song for him.

This is a song from the 1980s, first made popular by Bonnie Tyler. The arcade setting and the video effects are a tribute to that era. It's also been covered before by the artist Meat Loaf. The Spanish lyrics are from a version of the song that's popular in Puerto Rico, where Cesar and Ashley are from. You've reacted to another VoicePlay videos that featured Ashley: she was in their cover of We Don't Talk About Bruno. The song can be interpreted as a breakup song, which definitely seems to be what VoicePlay was going for here. But I think it could also be seen as someone describing a complicated, scary or even dangerous relationship and needing their partner's love and reassurance--that seems to fit the original Bonnie Tyler video better.

This is a arcade inside the Oviedo Mall where Layne and Tony's PattyCake Productions studio is located. Ashley has been in a few of VoicePlays videos. They were singing in Spanish.

I feel the backup singer's killing the song in parts of the songs its out of sync with macelleto and kinda trying to over sing him

#HOMEFREE

Bastien chose this Bonnie Raitt cover for his introduction to the Home Fries. I like the jazzy bluesy sound to the song. It's different. Can't wait for what comes next. Great reaction.

Great reaction ❤

They did a great cover of one of my favorite Bonnie Raitt songs. Bastien's voice was perfect for the lead. Everyone sounded awesome in the background vocals, Rob with his bluesy sound, Tim's bass & Adam's vocal percussion. Looking forward to more of the new songs with the newest member.

Fantastic! Just like I knew it would be! I'm excited to see more of the energy and smiles Bastien brings to the group. They made a great choice for this addition to Home Free. . I hope people realize he wasn't picked to replicate Austin . No one could do that. He was picked for the great things he can add. You can see how comfortable they seem together. Thanks for the Home Free reactions!

I hope you feel better soon

Beautiful ❤

So glad you are OK. I love this song!! They are so versatile. TX. Greetings from South Africa

Glad to see you've recovered mostly. Hope the recovery continues. Mitch can rap pretty well, I think.

Avi's music is very personal to him yet very relatable to others at the same time. Love his music.

Sorry to hear about your illness. Hope u are fully recovered now. Thank for the reaction.PTX are fantastic in ay genre. If u want positive songs, try Can't Hold Us. Also another , an original, Love Me When I Don't written by Kirstie.

Watch Hi Ren By Ren. You will experience a new world.

Thanks. Nice reaction. Your pauses and smiles were quite telling.

Thanks for the reaction! 🫶💪 The recording session without the video is for her song called "This time" from 2007 and she was literally crying recording it. It is about a woman who is abused by her partner 😣😣😣 yet she decides that that time was the last time. You can find the whole video for sure. It was not an easy task for Celine to sing it. She's never been in a situation like that and it's the only song she' recorded about this specific topic so far. Peace 🫶

the lady in audience is his mum

Tx for this. We Pentaholics appreciate you. Can't remember if you did "Problem" , another Ariana Grande song. Something so different. Greetings from South Africa

They go from the oldest songs to the newest in evolution medley's.

I loved your insight about two people dancing in formal wear. If you do not know his amazing life journey from being orphaned at age 7 and he has never had any musical or vocal lessons. His life has been a living miracle.
