[@janetdw]

I was so thrilled to see you come up with another VoicePlay reaction. I watch a lot of other reactors who also know about music because I know nothing. Many of them specifically talk about their arrangements and how complex and well thought out they are. I’m a patron so I get to listen to the karaoke track. I don’t pick up on things the way those of you with musical training do but by listening to the karaoke track I can hear the background harmonies without being distracted by whoever is singing the lead. When I go back to relisten it’s always a better experience. Geoff is on one side and is Baron. In the voodoo faith, he is called upon for healing and resurrection. He is often at the crossroads between the living and the dead. The other three are greedily awaiting Earl to pass away so that they can whisk him off to their various underworlds. He requires payment to let the person live, so the medallion that Nick, Earl’s husband, places around his neck is missing at the end. Geoff is also the last one to go. I think my favorite part is when Eli gets in Geoff’s face and starts “We are the champions” and Geoff just looks over and sings “another one bites the dust.”😂

[@DTA-Music]

No, most other reactors don't stop to read the character intros. BUT GOD I WISH THEY DID, it's so important to what's going on, THANK YOU

[@lkreinmiller-author]

Earl has a phenomenal voice. I do miss him in VP.

[@katthor7311]

Yay! I'm so glad to see you back with VoicePlay. You mentioned the joyful feeling you get when you listen to them, and that shows through in your reactions, and that's why I love watching you react to them. I hope you'll do some more VP soon. Oh, and they are the masters of the medley. 😁

[@danielbrosky]

Voice Play - simply the best in creative re-interpretations of already-great songs!!

[@Denalicat]

Really missed your VP reactions. You are right about that switch in the heart they just flip every time they start singing (or just playing) together. Their medley and mashups are just so well done . Wonderful reaction.

[@catherinemillroy7487]

Welcome back to VoicePlay! They have been some great songs since you have been gone. VoicePlay is awesome. I'm not a big fan of Queen however this was excellent and clever. Again welcome back to voiceplay.

[@lindabull4185]

Wonderful, thanks for a great reaction. You really need to catch up with VP or GC you haven't even touched base with. Them yet. Have a good weekend weekend Boody hoppe you do some singing with the band. Ta Ra for now 😋💖🖐💤xxxxxxx

[@CynicalTesuji]

It's so good to see you reacting to VoicePlay again! We've missed you on some of their recent releases, not to mention Geoff's as well. While they haven't done any medleys recently, I've long thought that VoicePlay have always excelled at how they put them together. Most of the time the inital arrangement is done by one person, although once thats been distributed to the others there is often feedback and changes can happen then. That said, I've heard more of Geoff talking about his arrangement process that I have heard about Layne's, and this piece was arranged by Layne and Eli. So, there's that. BUT. If you want to hear one of their cooler medleys (IMHO), then check out Trapped: Billie Eilish in 3 Minutes. That is a medley of Billie Eilish's music arranged by Geoff, but I swear it is more of a mashup than a medley. The way he interweaves songs is incredible, with the lyrics from one flowing seamlessly into another, while the backing vocals may be from something entirely different. It's crazy, and the video is also more or less a mini-'horror' movie. Even though it's an older piece, like this one, it's still one of my favorite arrangements of all times just due to the complexity of its structure.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Welcome back 😊. Missed your reactions to Voiceplay and Geoff. You have missed a lot of awesome videos. Please catch up 😉.

[@karingreen396]

Welcome back to VP! You are my favorite VP reactor. I watch other stuff too. You express the love I feel for them and you have introduced me to other stuff that I enjoy. Thanks

[@karinwolf9639]

You make me so happy today: beeing back with a beautiful VP reaction. Please stay here with us for many more. So much good stuff happened... 😊🎉❤

[@christinestromberg4057]

This medley was about telling a story, based on Earl having had a health scare while on tour. Some gods of the underworld fighting over his soul, but Baron has the ability to give life back, so he was on the opposite side from the others. The other man is Earl's husband.

[@reallollabunny]

Thanks for the context!

[@BonnieKaupp]

Love your gushing over VoicePlay ❤ We've missed you. 😊

[@patriciawitherspoon7207]

I cannot WAIT to watch you're reaction to Geoff's latest single, Unshaken. Soon, pretty please???

[@CyndraNeal]

Thanks for your always fun and heartwarming reactions of VoicePlay! I think you would like Geoff’s cover of Blackbird!

[@r.d.stratford106]

I am so happy to see this-I have missed your VoicePlay reactions and the unique insights you always bring! Really, really enjoyed it.

[@BetsySchiller-sj2sm]

Voiceplay did a medley of Billy Eilish songs and Pamic at the Disco that are great too. Loved the reaction and thanks for coming back to Voiceplay. They're my happy place too😊

[@Aurora-cv5to]

Yes! Was excited to see you do VoicePlay! Thank you!

[@Traci2000]

I just love watching you react to this group. It tends to be so similar to my own reactions and feelings toward them and it just brings me joy. Thanks for this one! ❤

[@stephnichall]

I got so excited to see you back with Voiceplay! 😁

[@EmmaYadkin]

Your excitement is contagious. Thanks for putting a big grin on my face. I hope you'll be doing more Voiceplay in the future.

[@AngieCurl]

You’ve missed so many releases. I have been waiting for some new VP & Geoff reactions. 😅 Please comeback to the rabbit-hole! ❤

[@acorrado5529]

So happy to see you come back to Voice Play- thanks! I have really missed your enthusiasm and great feedback. I am hoping to see more reactions to some of solo Geoff and Voice Plays more recent releases.

[@karenzak6627]

Yes! VoicePlay at last! Thank you for this great reaction. I enjoyed your appreciation of the production as well as the insights on creating medleys you shared! Welcome back!

[@bjspeck4337]

I have always been fascinated by how VoicePlay built a mini-movie from the medley.

[@Starrynightdiner]

You’ve missed a lot of VoicePlay and Geoff Castellucci releases. You need to come back to the mad world. We are waiting. ❤

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Totally agree 💯%

[@DravenGal]

Oh, I'd love to hear Geoff or Voiceplay do "Mad World!" Currently my favorite version is Adam Lambert's when he was on American Idol. I remember the show ran too long and his performance got cut off! They had to show it before the vote-off episode the next day! It was a bit of a mess, but the performance was SO GOOD! Simon Cowell gave Adam a standing ovation, which was pretty much unheard of at the time.

[@Starrynightdiner]

@@DravenGal lol. I didn’t even mean the reference to the song. Actually i was thinking of Alice in wonderland. But i do love that song and Adam.

[@DravenGal]

@@Starrynightdiner Are you a fan, perchance, of the Pirates of The Caribbean movies? If so, I strongly recommend going to a channel called "The Hillywood Show," and looking up their musical POTC parody. It's hilarious. As are their other parodies, almost all musical. They're a great channel!

[@LauraDawnTheAwesomePossum]

By now it's a mad Omniverse, lol. Geoff's voice creates black holes daily which form other pocket dimension universes. ❤

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

Every time I watch VoicePlay's Queen in 5 Minutes, I am entranced by the vocals and the story. It is a chance to find a new unseen gem each time. And yes, even songs that I don't like are revamped by VoicePlay's abilities. I think part of it is that they really take time to study and honor the original and then add their unique understanding to the arrangement.

[@nikkijung1970]

I would love to see you react to Voiceplay singing Bang.

[@kathrynmenzel2615]

So happy to see you doing VoicePlay again.

[@thisisnrgs]

Yesssssss You come back with another VP reaction! Please do more of VP and of course Geoff...

[@rahelmeyer2750]

Yes please! Do more of VP and G'!

[@par500dragon7]

I just love this... listening and watching. The various moments between the characters are so great!

[@iamsquatty]

Geoffs rock scream in this one is so good😂💜

[@lkayh]

Yeah, that high note from Geoff surprises a lot of people. I’d like to hear more rock like this from him. And Eli is absolutely in his element here. I’d really love them to do a cover of a full song that would take advantage of his rocker sounds. I don’t know if people have mentioned this but always let a Voiceplay video play until you see the Patrons scrolling. They often have “surprise endings” like this. Thanks for doing this-hope to see more Voiceplay soon!! Also, I can’t find your reaction to The Bass Gang-have you posted it yet?

[@JaneFromMars]

It’s up now.😉

[@anaestay6698]

My absolute favorite song of Queen is Don't stop me now too. Did you know that it appears in a ranking as the song that brings most joy to people? 5 months ago I went under surgery and the surgeon let me choose a song to calm my nerves in the OR. Of course i chose that one :)

[@LindaAnn1]

Your are as great as voiceplay

[@Maerahn]

I love watching your reactions, because you have that extra level of musical knowledge to offer. And your instincts about the way different acapella groups work are spot on. As far as I know, Pentatonix and Home Free use the same production editors (from the same record company) for a lot of their songs, while Voiceplay are still fiercely independent and not signed to any record company. This gives them the kind of freedom to experiment with their sound and arrangements that the other groups don't really have. It's why they've crept up the ranks to become my favourite acapella band, ESPECIALLY in recent years, when they've really stepped up their game.

[@Jennymit21]

I adore your reactions bc you genuinely appreciate them and you have their same heart and pure goodness. Like sees like!! I know 2 of the guys personally and can confirm that they truly wonderful human beings that genuinely care for others and are funny and sweet and just wonderful humans. Thanks for what you do!

[@masafilipovic7629]

amazing reaction as always! so happy u came back to VP, thank u!

[@casamusica6033]

Earl, the guy in the bed, was a regular member of VP. Great voice. But Geoff is the star to me, as always. Love your enjoyment of them. Please don't stay away so long this time.

[@marshayoung9387]

I was getting worried, I haven't seen you in so long with a Voice Play reaction. You have a lot of catching up to do. Please do a reaction video to Voice Plays cover of Sleeping In The Cold Below also Geoff's latest solo cover of Unshaken from the Red Dead Redemption 2 video game . ( It looks like the ghosts riders are back ) lol. Thank you for coming back to us with another great reaction to Voice Play ❤

[@Melisendre]

Every time I watch the medley I want them to do full covers of every song. I love Queen and I love Voiceplay. It's the perfect combination.

[@BeckyBug7]

There is no such thing as too much gushing over Voiceplay! I was so happy to see this pop up on my suggestions I immediately had to switch over to it. It has been way too long since you did a Voiceplay song, so thank you for jumping on this one today. I wasn't a VP patreon when this video was released, so it may have been different back then, but now, typically, it is one person who is doing the arranging with feedback from the others once the arrangement is primarily complete. Both Geoff and Layne's medleys are stellar and so well put together that they sound totally organic. Please do more Voiceplay and Geoff soon! Geoff recently released a cover of Unshaken from the Red Dead Redemption 2 game and I think you would love it.

[@DravenGal]

Really great reaction! VP put so much effort into their work! But you almost ended it too early! 😛Don't forget Voiceplay is sneaky, LOL! They sneak things in at the end, sometimes, so you need to watch to the end! And worst thing that can happen is you hear some more of their music! I can't wait to see you do some of their newer stuff. "Sleeping In The Cold Below" is amazing.

[@liamstrain]

Eid Mubarak - thanks for another great reaction. I'm glad you read the intros. Makes sense of the story in a way that might be missed.

[@thisismetoday7423]

I love it when you react to VoicePlay! ❤

[@Jennifer_J_C]

Such an epic creation. Thanks 😊

[@ilonadever8249]

I saw this pop up hours ago, but was tied up with things that had to be done. Finally! I always love your reactions to Geoff and Voiceplay. Thank you so much for doing this one!!! Geoff did another game piece. Unshaken from Red Dead Redemption 2. Just so ya know....

[@ArabManReacts]

❤️❤️❤️on it!

[@Robert.Sheard]

I have missed your VoicePlay (and Geoff) reactions. 🎉🥃

[@rahelmeyer2750]

Me too!

[@musiceastwest397]

Gush all you want! They deserve it. I've always liked this Queen medley. Thanks for coming back to VoicePlay.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Everyone that watches this SHOULD pause and read the information.

[@Le7emeChat]

Notice the coin is here until the end, but absent when he wake up, since the fee for the ferryboat (to life or afterlife) was paid.

[@JaneFromMars]

Voiceplayers, if you want him to do more VP reactions, join his Patreon and request their songs. That’s how it works. He’d love to get more VP/Geoff requests! He’s a true fan.

[@thisismetoday7423]

How does his Patreon work? Because I only saw in the paid tiers that you can suggest a song but nothing about a guaranteed reaction.

[@JaneFromMars]

Thanks for asking! It’s changed a few times as the community grew, but I think the current system is based on 1) several members supporting a request and 2) seniority. Members for 6+ months add requests to the list. Newer members work together to get requests on the list. He’ll give you the details.

[@marshayoung9387]

We are out of luck if we can't afford to.

[@JaneFromMars]

@@marshayoung9387 That’s true for most channels.

[@ArabManReacts]

Youuuuu! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dianeschluter9995]

That is exactly how i feel about Voiceplay too! There are a bunch of new ones from VP and Geoff you've missed! Definitely check out Unshaken on Geoff's solo channel. I can guarantee you won't be Unshaken!

[@evalu3369]

You are cool to! Great reaction.

[@paula0721]

Your reactions are always contagious! And yes, these guys have something special (Geoff 😅) Jokes aside, it's good to see VP on the channel again! You missed some releases, hope to see you reacting to them soon.

[@anaestay6698]

Love this reaction! saludos!

[@Cpperk95]

Passion. They radiate passion in their performances and you also have passion about music. That's the key.

[@mityakiselev]

This is how you make a narrative for a music video. IDK how they managed to pull this off, but it's bloody brilliant. Apparently, Earl had a medical emergency prior to the production so they decided to make it about him. If I understand it correctly (sorry if I got something wrong, I am notoriously slow), Earl's character goes into a coma. The guy who puts a pendant around his neck is Earl's IRL husband or boyfriend or whatever. Earl is now in limbo with four different deities from different cultures, all of whom have something to do with death. J is Anubis, the Egyptian god of the afterlife, he usually weighs the person's heart against a feather to see if it's heavy with guilt. Eli is Yama Nirvana, and Layne is probably Cerberus judging by the fur, tough to tell. They're all these cold-blooded judges and stuff. Geoff plays Baron Samedi, a Haitian deity known for controlling death and life, and he's more human than others, he can be subjective and he can be bribed, that's why they put money and stuff into people's graves. He takes a liking to Earl, and he notices a pendant when he touches his chin with a cane. The other guys are clearly annoyed with this familiarity, they want Earl in the afterlife. They even have a falling-out with Baron, everything complemented by the song choice, the lyrics are about different things but they all kinda make sense in this scenario. They attack Earl, but Baron protects his chest from other weapons with his cane. Earl wants to go back so he disintegrates the gods. Notice how the other three all take fighting stances but Baron is chill and not aggressive. When Earl wakes up (I love how the song choice is "Don't Stop Me Now" and it ends on the lyrics "I feel alive"), he no longer has the pendant on him, meaning that stuff could've been real and Baron took the shiny as payment for giving Earl another chance. Freddie Mercury once said, "Do what you want with my music, just don't make it boring". I would argue it's in good hands here, that feels exactly like the kind of symbolic stuff he would do.

[@LuluDumpling]

Thanks for a brilliant comment

[@GHmorenos]

I truly love your reactions!

[@ArabManReacts]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@EtherealForever]

We all have that VP switch - thank you for the reaction - we certainly missed you too!!! I see you need Patreon requests... so I won't recommend anything here, but thank you for flying the flag! Hope you are well and like the hairstyle! 🌹🕊

[@ArabManReacts]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Izabella907]

Quadzillion?? Ha ha. You're so happy to see them, it makes me happy, too.🥰

[@katkem9192]

You have to do more Voiceplay ❤ Also there is a really good song from Dimash When I've got you! I would like to here your comment on it 😊

[@EllaSilentDragon]

Of all the acappella groups I definitely like Voiceplay the best. ❤ But of Queen medleys there is an even more impressive one (at least in my very subjective opinion 😅) Dimash and Super Vocal Boys sang a Queen medley years ago on a Chinese tv show. He didn’t speak English yet but sang it really well. But it’s difficult to get reactions to it published (as far as I‘ve heard) 😅

[@eross3140]

Great reaction! The guy with the voice you liked is Earl. He was in their Oogie Boogie's Song that you reacted to. I miss him, but the current group is also awesome. Thank you!

[@loveloochay]

🎼🎼🙉 .. this is pretty cool ..

[@claudiacruz2323]

Catching up with your videos Arab Man...this is a fun and soul involving marathon!

[@Swan-yo6hn]

Welcome back to VoicePlay :) You've been missed!

[@Juliana_Livingston]

Yes! More VoicePlay and Geoff! Missed your reactions to them! 🙃

[@cwilson463]

Beautiful reaction to a beautiful song. There’s an old quote from Freddie Mercury shortly before his death that went “Do what you want with my music, just don’t make it boring.” I believe Freddie would be very pleased with Voiceplay’s covers of some of the most iconic songs Queen has ever made.❤

[@HanneRahn]

Great reaction…Thank YOU…! Great voice btw…! 👍 If you love Queen try to see and listen to Pentatonix and their take on Bohemian Rapsody! It took them 5 years to perfect it, so they all were happy 😉👍 Greetings from Denmark ☺️

[@joyvanderveer2282]

I knew you would love this. Anyone who loves Queen would hear the deep respect in the way they sang these songs. It was so good! WOW!

[@MarieDesJardin]

VoicePlay as the "coolest, kindest, bestest people." I'll accept that! Thanks for your reactions :)

[@lauriehallcolemandowns7364]

I like the concept of this one. and the technical difficulty of arranging this is really phenomenal. No one is as inventive and creative as VP.

[@suzannebastien2918]

If you like medleys you should listen to Pentatonix 90's Dance Medley 🥰

[@denzelpanther240]

I am so incredibly happy that KZbin brought you to my attention via electric Callboy. There are a Million reaction channels but its rare to get one that is also knowlegeable about music so I can actually learn something about the music I like. And then you are also entertaining and likeable. Damn. Instantly made my top 5 channels. Going to binge your vids for the night. Keep it up. You are on a Level with Tank the tech for me

[@Bartek_Sobolski]

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

If you want to see VoicePlay's response to a founding member, Earl, leaving the group three years ago, please watch their video for The Heart Of Life. I feel that it epitomizes who they are.

[@Datsnice97]

when you go into changing song keys to fit together, reminds me of an Australian comedy group called Axis of awesome... they did a full comedy sketch on how its dead easy to right a pop song and played a heap using just 4 chords. should check it out if you get a chance

[@blancamorris596]

Boudyyyy, QUEEN is also my favorite rock band. I M O the best of all time!! Please check messages and emails very important. Thank you for fantastic reactions in general, effort and soon reaching 100k. I promise I have all my family already subscribed to AMR. sending congratulations and all my love ♥️♥️♥️

[@ArabManReacts]

THANK YOUUUU!!!! I hope they're watching, i'll give them a shout out haha

[@bastiangugu4083]

If you like impressive and varied vocals, then I would suggest giving ADO a listen. She's a young Japanese artist with an impressive range in vocal styles. I think, "Tot Musica" and "Aishite, Ashite, Aishite" would be good showcases.

[@sanditabonita7117]

Voiceplay just released their cover of Blackhole Sun and I need, need, NEED to see your reaction to it! It's featuring Anthony G.

[@ArabManReacts]

OUFFFFFFFFF

[@detrafitch66]

Hey AMR, great reaction as always. 😁

[@ArabManReacts]

Hey, thanks!

[@rhov-anion]

I absolutely stopped to read the title cards and grew excited. I love mythology, I knew who each of these were. (Well, not Layne's character, but I worked out that he's Cerberus.) Each are Death gods, but Geoff is the Haitian god of death and resurrection. Therefore, he's the only one who can bring Earl back, the last foe to face... literally, the Final Boss. The Baron can be convinced to return you to life by having enough will to live and a bribe. In Earl's case, the price was the gold medallion from the beginning, which is missing at the end. Freddie Mercury was a mythology nerd too, and he would be so proud.

[@SarabethWhite]

❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@detrafitch66]

I have been waiting for "Arab Man Reacts" to let us watch as he reacts to Drunken Sailor and Sleeping in the Cold Below. I have been disappointed and hope AMR will come back to the VoicePlay side. 🤣
