Voiceplay "Boy Band Medley" | Voice Teacher Reaction

[@edithdavis2848]

They have so much fun looks easy .until you think how much work they put into it.

[@Broomrider1492]

This is so fun as they have Geoff's, Layne's, and Eli's wives, and Earl's husband is in this. You should see the size of his wallet is so funny.

[@Iansco1]

Was about to say that.

[@tishatittle1010]

@@Iansco1 I love that part with Earl's hubby

[@Iansco1]

Best dancer in this video of Geoff's hair

[@daventunes3822]

The guy with the HIGH tenor is Earl, who was with Voiceplay for years until leaving a couple of years ago. This video was done long after J. None replaced longtime baritone Tony Wakim, who is partners with Layne in Pattycake Productions. J. None left to join the Navy not long after Earl left. Cesar has since filled one slot, but they still have one open. That's why they've had so many guest artists during and since Covid.

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

Earl was a founding member of VoicePlay!

[@krista584]

The high-pitched 🎶biscuit🎶 made me LOL so hard! 😂

[@lkayh]

I love this one too-and I don’t even like boy bands most of the time!! The heartbreaker: The guy who brings the sandwich when they’re all around the trash can-that’s Rek, the comrade they dedicated the Halo video to. He died of COVID last year (I think). Some of these “best ofs” and “in 5 minutes” videos are just priceless. Great reaction, Chris!! I won’t suggest any tunes this time.

[@guypithecusthe1st453]

Too bad that Rek didn't mug the camera a little bit. It would have been a better memory. ... Guy

[@nightthornkvala94132]

I never heard a reason for his death but the timing kind of leans that way. But I'm making no assumptions. Could have easily been a heart attack, high blood pressure, or a car wreck.

[@lkayh]

@@nightthornkvala94132 could be. I was told this by someone I believe would know (a patron). Doesn’t mean they do.

[@randiskye4444]

Thanks for mentioning Rek. I don't remember VP giving a cause of death, only that he was family to them and taken way too soon. Let's honor the way he lived to his creative potential and was much loved in this life.

[@lkayh]

@@randiskye4444 Voiceplay didn’t, you’re right. I got it from a comment made by someone who often posts “insider info.” Could be wrong.

[@dianekerr2403]

If you like this one you might get a laugh out of Voiceplay's take on "Cheerleader" - lots of fun

[@alexwalker8440]

This and Queen in 5 minutes are 2 of my very favorite medleys! 😍💯

[@Iansco1]

The two with Earl's husband?

[@alexwalker8440]

@@Iansco1 Yep, I guess so. Oh, another one I love is Daddy Sang Bass, also with him.

[@nikkibanning176]

VoicePlay is so great. Love this medley. I'm sure they had fun with all the choreography.

[@par500dragon7]

That high voice is Earl Elkins... and he's just that high!

[@StephanieGraham0129]

Yay! I am so glad you reacted to this one! It’s one of my all time favorites. You should also check out Warriors and Dragonborn Comes. Another fun one is Friends on the Other Side. 😁

[@mswitch936]

I can say that I am not a real fan of Voiceplay but this is probably my favorite song that I have seen from them. They genuinely look like they are having a blast and their voices fit their particular songs so well.

[@bkm83442]

That's just Earl. He has one of the craziest and most beautiful high tenor voices I've ever heard. I weep every day that he's not still with VoicePlay.

[@Wildecat10]

If you watched the Halo video, you know what good friends they were. Rek Dunn was the guy that brought be the sandwich here.

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

love this one ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@tracyz9155]

This is such a great trip down memory lane and the vocals are spot on. Thanks for your reaction

[@candilunsford2878]

Love the creativity on this! Their transitions are just amazing.

[@DaisyGray74]

Yesssss! Love this one! Voiceplay can do no wrong in my eyes. Everything is golden. Lol. You should totally check out Citizen Queen (Acapella group discovered by Scott Hoying) doing “Evolution Of Girl Groups” and the group Next Town Down doing “Evolution Of Boy Band’s”.

[@Broomrider1492]

The man that hands them the sandwich is their friend Rek that they did the tribute for by doing the HALO theme after his passing last year. I don't think you have reacted to that one yet.

[@ilonadever8249]

Always enjoy your reactions to Voiceplay! I'm old, so the only number that I knew was I Want to Hold Your Hand. I've learned not to close my eyes for a second for fear of missing some special bit. You missed one during Ain't To Proud To Beg by the Temptations, I hope you watched it again. Thanx for continuing with Voiceplay, they are my absolute favorites!

[@jessicacifelli5496]

Oh please keep doing Voice Play! This one is a personal favorite but I love everything they produce! Carry On My Wayward Son, Daddy Sang Bass, Queen in 5 Minutes, Warriors, Halo theme song, When The Dragon Born Comes, Tennessee Whiskey, and so many others to choose from! Can't go wrong with Voice Play!

[@rmoenmjea]

I love that one so much. I think you would really like Daddy sang bass or their queen medley too. Slight annotation though, the "camera coreography" did start to make me a little dizzy, idk if others felt that too but I personally didn't enjoy that tooo much.

[@anaestay6698]

These guys are so much fun!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Don't know if you've seen this one but I'd love to see your reaction to The Chicken Song. Or to Wookiee Christmas. Or any of their versions of Road Trip.

[@vanessamorris1985]

This is absolutely one of my favorite VP videos! I would absolutely love to see your reaction and analysis of Voiceplay’s The Dragonborn Comes!!!

[@randiskye4444]

This one is one I had to watch a few times, to absorb all the background antics. I missed the boy band craze of the 2000(?)s cause I'm old, but I now know probably the best parts of the genre after having this on my playlist for quite a while now. Glad you enjoyed and great reaction again!

[@cathysmith2941]

I love the boy bands theu did this so good

[@Saiytanya]

I'm glad I actively checked to see if you had anything new out. I got unsubscribed somehow. Grr! Resubscribed though, and as always, it was an absolute blast watching your reaction. The nostalgia is so real in this one!

[@creativecrewfam]

Oh no! Well, I appreciate you coming back :)

[@suzybailey5501]

Really good to see you reacting to this one, one of my absolute favourites! Apart from the obviously wonderful voices and great transitions, I just love seeing them dancing, so fun! 🙂👍

[@Snapdragonflie]

Yes, the choreography is so fun! I know it's supposed to be sort of silly, making fun of boy bander dancing a little bit, but they can all actually move pretty well!

[@suzybailey5501]

They do move pretty well, I also enjoy the moves in their video of 'Cheerleader' from about 5 years ago as well! 🕺🙂

[@reflexxuns4065]

I always love your reactions! Very cool. Voiceplay is amazing, aren't they?

[@meredithmiller7016]

Yay! I'm so glad you did this one. This is one of my favorites and not everybody who reacts to them does this one. Thank you and I'm SO glad you loved this medley!

[@bjspeck4337]

Fun watching you!

[@creativecrewfam]

Glad you enjoy! :)

[@Maerahn]

Ah, so you met Earl in this one then? 😁 Most people are surprised when they first hear him - somehow he doesn't look like he 'should' sound like that! Have you seen their Queen in Five Minutes' one yet? That one is REALLY creative, I think you'll like it a lot.

[@rossinme]

i know you can truly appreciate an amazing singer! YOU MUST HEAR FAOUZIA. please try her stripped versions of Tears of Gold, or Don't Even Know Me. I promise you will thank me for the rest of the year!

[@tatewakinew]

Besides great singing, with their presentation you're sometimes forgetting most of them are 40 (especially Eli who is actually the oldest AFAIK).

[@janetdw]

I know from another post that they were in high school at the same time but not at the same school and often saw each other during singing competitions. So he’s probably only at the most three years older than Jeff who I believe is 41 or 42.

[@Juilene1965]

I love this one! They look like they are having so much fun with it. One of my faves! If you haven't seen it yet, check out their cover of BTS "Butter". It is freakin brilliant and so fun! All sorts of shenanigans going on in that one :)

[@jenniferparker5189]

I suppose it's just that I'm getting "old" but I personally don't consider ones like the Jackson 5, the Temptations, or the Four Seasons as "boy bands".🤔 But again, that's just me. No matter what though, it was awesome!!😎😎👍👍❤❤

[@kazzMarie]

Fantastic reaction. Can you react to VoicePlays song. Warrior (imagine Dragons) please its amazing. Layne beatboxes while playing a violin at the same time xx

[@hhcoolmv1]

Since you enjoyed this, I highly recommend checking out RoadTrip's (channel is called RoadTrip TV) Evolution of Boybands from 2018, it's also very good!! They were a British-Irish boyband who sadly split up in 2020 😭 But their covers are still very much worth a watch!

[@hhcoolmv1]

Not sure if you'll see this second comment, but here's some extra information I meant to add about RoadTrip! - There were 7 members of RoadTrip over the the time they were together (though only 5 at any one time)! Andrew "Andy" Fowler (28, from Manchester, England), Ryan "Rye" Beaumont (26, from Somerset, England), Brooklyn (or Brook) Wyatt (born Gibson Avraam, turning 24 this year, from Essex, England), Ryan "Sonny" Robertson (turning 26 this year, from Essex, England), Harper Dark (born Harper Hunt, turning 22 this year, has lived in few places but I believe the place he's lived longest was in Tenerife? Don't quote me on that lol), Michael "Mikey" Cobban (26, from Bristol, England), and Jack Duff (turning 23 this year, from I believe? County Meath, Ireland) - Though I did mention their covers and they were probably most known for those, they also had original music! (They' since admitted it wasn't really to their tastes, but some fans still enjoy it) They had 4 EPs + an acoustic version of one of them - Miss Taken (2017), Tokyo Hotel (2017), Dynamite (2019, this is the one there's an acoustic of!), and White Label (2020). Also had one stand-alone single, one of their most popular songs, 'Take This Home'. (If you check out their Evolution of Boybands, that's the song at the end!) - They split up May 12th, 2020 - Too much to fully go into here but unfortunately they had basically an evil manager, Blair, who bullied them and stole their money over the nearly 5 years they were a band, so they sadly suffered a lot :( (If you do want more information about that once you're more familiar with them, look up the videos The Truth About RoadTrip (that Rye and Sonny did), and The Real Reason RoadTrip Ended (that Rye, Sonny, Brook, & Mikey did). - They now have solo careers! Andy I believe is releasing his first solo single sometime this year, Rye & Sonny are now a duo called F.E.A.T.S (stands for Four Eyes And The Skyscraper, a ref. to Rye's glasses and Sonny's height), Brook has several singles and a small EP 'something out of nothing', Harper's working on stuff but nothing's out yet, Mikey's focusing more on his KZbin channel these days but he may still do some music?, and Jack has a few singles out with some more stuff coming soon.

[@par500dragon7]

Check out Queen in 5 Minutes!

[@sallycripe2697]

This was good, even though I could only name 2 groups (J5 and Beatles). Guess I'm showing my age.

[@scotthritz6641]

Turn the frickin advertising out of your reaction Chris!!! What a perfect way to ruin it!!

[@creativecrewfam]

I'd like people to support me, so that's why I share...on my channel. If you'd like to watch the video without any distractions, check out the link where I post the original video :)

[@huldradraco]

i hope you give your students more feedback as a voice teacher than you do reacting to videos... why bother having "voice teacher" in your video title if you're just watching a video? think you're the only voice teacher/vocal coach i've seen so far that has maybe 1 or 2 minutes talking time compared to listening time. most of them have 3-4 times as much talking as listening to talk about their vocal performances/choices/techniques, the music etc.... i mean, it's nice watching you enjoy the music, don't get me wrong. but a little more feedback on the actual performance would be nice as well.

[@creativecrewfam]

Lol I definitely teach way more to my students - then again, it is a private lesson. Is this opinion based off this one video, or have you even seen the others? Because I tend to go in great detail.
