Danielle Marie Reacts to Geoff Castellucci- "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." Day 3: Fa-la-la-idays

[@Aurora-cv5to]

I'm old and so OVER most traditional christmas songs - when this came out last year I heaved and sigh and listened anyway, knowing that Geoff would be fabulous no matter what. This became an instant favorite. I adore it. Not a boring or predictable moment anywhere to be found. He is amazing. It's so obvious that he pursues his music as art, and is relentless about expanding his own limits.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

I have sang the bass part of this song so many times for choir, when Geoff came out with this, yes, it was a major breath of fresh air for me. I got so burned out on traditional Christmas songs, I just stopped singing them. I am 46, so I've been singing and hearing them for close to a half century... hearing them revitalized definitely helps, for sure.

[@Aurora-cv5to]

@@johndeeregreen4592 Yeah, I did my choir stint too. Maybe that's part of the problem. I'm easily bored, and at best, they reach a polish that makes them exactly like every other, with entirely too many identical verses. Boredom within the song, boredom without as it comes in, uninvited, from every direction. Geoff, on the other hand, doesn't even repeat the glorious musical phrases I'm dying to hear again...

[@shelleeroe7305]

I second that…this is one of the reasons he’s been an inspiration to me.

[@Tarodan]

One of my favourite things about Geoff's videos are how much the Geoffs look at and interact with each other. Like an actual vocal group would for entrances and keeping synced.

[@pacalvotan3380]

Now that we're officially in the holiday spirit...you really have to check out Voiceplay's "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch"...another awesome exhibit of Geoff Castellucci's range.

[@marshayoung9387]

Please do a reaction video of Geoff's new solo cover Till Then. He does it deep & slow, with a piano night club setting & feel. He will melt your heart with this one.

[@christinestromberg4057]

Geoff's new one is out any day now. :) Yes he creates his own harmonies, he does the arranging, sing, fliming, editing, etc and also arranges roughly half of the songs for VoicePlay.

[@ilonadever8249]

You are right, in his solo work, he writes the entire arrangement. He records it all first then does the video. He sings along with the recording, you can watch the movement of his mouth and throat, it never looks lip synced. I think this arrangement for his solo is the best that he's done. At least, it's my personal favorite. Thanx for reacting to and analyzing this one Danielle, can't wait for more Geoff!

[@lusifer8]

OMG you have to hear the "im dreaming of a white Christmas" , epic does not do it justice

[@erinromary2796]

Congratulations !! I am so glad that you are back too. Please more Geoff and VoicePlay!

[@MikeinUt]

You said that Geoff never ceases to amaze you at the end of the video. Looks like he down right shocked you with his first three notes. Love watching your reactions to Geoff.

[@patriciaschuman4205]

Thank you for reacting to this, he transformed this carol into a completely different-feeling song for me too (in the best way). Keep your eyes and ears open, Geoff should be dropping his Christmas song for this year to the general public soon (we lucky patrons already got to see it!)

[@gregsteele806]

This one has a nice Mannheim Steamroller vibe. I love it.

[@par500dragon7]

Geoff reinvented this song, and it is brilliant!

[@Jaybullz34]

I have some suggestion for your Christmas song list! Look into Geoff's cover of "Mele Kalikimaka" and also Voctave's cover of "Mary Did you Know" and "Come All Yé Faithful"!!!

[@nerdywordyprincess8499]

If you enjoyed this, you're going to love his one for this year! You also need to watch Voiceplay's cover of the Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late). It's amazing... And absolutely hilarious! ✌️❤️🥕 #SubscriptionSquad

[@bennywilliamsjr.6914]

I seconded that. #SubscriptionSquad

[@gracetheatre23]

I agree it is amazing, I would love to see her react to it! #SubscriptionSquad

[@bjspeck4337]

I concur.

[@thomasfarr7934]

I listen to every reaction of Geoff's stuff. I have missed you! I would love to hear your reaction to his Ghost Riders in the Sky! (I know Christmas is coming...but...) Also his cover of Elvis Presley's Way Down! It makes me laugh! It's pure fun!

[@johnwright7033]

# subscription squad . Great to have you back and a reaction to geoff . Voctave , where are you christmas ? Will totally hit you in the feels . Congratulations by the way

[@alexiltempo]

This must be my favourite cover by Geoff

[@johnroberts5797]

When he goes so deep and the drum keeping beat it's almost medievel. PLEASE react to Ben Adams and Morissette singing THIS IS CHRISTMAS official music Video.

[@ITDOESNTHAVETOMAKESENSE]

It sounds spooky because much of the tone is the same as his Monster Mash cover. And the inflection on "merrrrrrry gentlemen" is very spooky sounding.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

This was absolutely amazing. Enjoyed watching your reaction and analysis to this song.

[@scottboa2738]

First of all, Congratulations, regarding your pregnancy. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. A few observations: 1) I love this video. It's truly scary, just how talented Geoff is. Notice how the lighting in the back windows "dance" to Geoff's voice? 2) This came out last Christmas. Geoff just released his Christmas video of I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas on Patreon a few days ago. It premieres on KZbin tomorrow afternoon. I would love for you to react to it. It is awesome. A true masterpiece. #SUBSCRIPTIONSQUAD

[@princesssvenja3113]

I'm loving oll of Geoffs Songs 🥰 If you loving it to hear 4 Geoffs singen, then you have to watch "Ghostriders in the sky" That's a cover that he did aswell😊😘

[@kIDNEYKid-xt9uc]

I like how this came out the same day Geoff released his cover of "White Christmas"

[@julievanarends3702]

I love Geoff! He just released a new version of White Christmas a few days ago. It’s fantastic, too!

[@ablevablev604]

Wow, i can´t believe, that you don´t hear the 2 beautiful picardy thirds in this song.

[@marshayoung9387]

OMG Danielle, you have got to do a reaction video of Geoff's new cover of I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas ( White Christmas ). You will be amazed at this one. This is his absolute best ever. Much better than this one . He just keeps getting better & better. Please please do this one. He just released it as if 1:00 pm on December 4th.

[@patrickgoodwin3085]

Wow! This guy can really hit the low notes. New here and have seen a couple of your videos and am enjoying them. I have a suggestion-For King and Country-Little Drummer Boy.

[@rmdewberry2482]

Not a fave carol of mine, but I just eat up this version from Jeff. Trying to follow all of his voices in this one is SO fun!

[@vvoof2601]

*Geoff

[@dalebuck7168]

Wednesday rocks!!! I'm 80 yo and love that Netflix series....also love Geoff (glad you are no longer saying Gee Off LOL) Love your reactions.

[@suzybailey5501]

When I first saw Geoff was doing this I thought 'well, at least he'll do something interesting with it'! I couldn't have imagined, one of the oldest and more boring, imo, carols could be arranged in such a unique and highly enjoyable way. I've played this numerous times throughout the year simply because I love the beat the beautiful harmonies and Geoffs voice of course! Great reaction, thank you! 🙂👍

[@robertorossi7695]

MERRY CHRISTMASSSSSSS💯💯💯🤩🤩🤩

[@toddlower5546]

Home Free "Cold Hard Cash" next please! 🙂

[@RescueSquadCulp]

Happy Holidays #SubscriptionSquad

[@papatomthune4924]

Did you notice the lighting changes on the windows from outside? Great reaction!

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

Lorena McKennit does an incredible version of this song as well. Geoff's and Lorena's versions are my favourites.

[@truckshackley373]

I’m getting serious Trans Siberian Orchestra vibes from this. It’s fantastic!

[@rebekkahdavi8493]

ITA! I thought exactly the same thing as soon as the particular beat started, along with the bells in the background.

[@QueenKim29]

Geoff has a new Christmas song premiering today. White Christmas.

[@RuroniEthan]

Wednesday ROCKED!!!!! I totally agree. This was Without a doubt the most epic version of the song I'd had ever heard. Absolutely loved his arrangement on this 1. And he totally revitalized this song from its traditional roots. I know I've never heard an arrangement like this or I've never heard this song sound like this. I'm not sure if you have this planned on your roster or not but I just found out that voiceplay did a Rendition of oholy night featuring Rachel Potter and it was absolutely gorgeous. It's about 5 years old but it was the 1st time I heard it the other day and it was so Good. Also you're a mean one Mr. Grinch was nuts and funny. DJ young just came back for a rendition of the chipmunk song Which absolutely blew my mind.

[@RuroniEthan]

Ps I absolutely love watching your videos because your energy is so infectious. Just wanted to mention that. it is a blessing to Be able to influence people from so far away just by smiling into the camera. Congrats again on the joyous news and Blessings and positivity to you and yours during this holiday season. MERRY/HAPPY (INSERT YOUR PREFERRED BELIEF HERE)!!!!

[@deansouthwick1906]

I just finished watching Geoff’s rendition of White Christmas. Wow! I hope you react to it soon! #subscriptionsquad

[@ronprince1478]

😊

[@stephanginther9051]

Please react to "Wonder As I Wander - Epic Version" by Simon Khorolskiy. It is, as the title says, epic. Plus I think the song itself is underrated as a Christmas song.

[@FLNatureGuy]

🔥🔥💯💣💣🎄🎄

[@jamesraley7214]

I like your hair . Thanks it conditioned to smooth as Geoff’s voice😂 #subsriptionsquad

[@arthurschalick2362]

O Come, All Ye Faithful - Voctave #Scriptionsquad

[@melodiemalone2317]

Great reaction like always Please react to voiceplay chipmunk song (Christmas don t be late) please 🥺🥺

[@DennisKovacich]

I’ve asked this question on a couple of other reactions, but haven’t seen an answer. You paused and mentioned how he did “prai … ses” with that pause in the middle. Is there a separate word for that staccato effect when it’s sung rather than played on an instrument? Also, I’m a bit confused. The title says “Fa-la-la-idays,” but you said “Fa-la-la-lidays.” Which is it? 😉

[@toddreed882]

You have to check out Voiceplay’s cover of “Nothing ElseMatters” by Metallica…Arranged by Geoff and featuring J-None! #subscriptionsquad

[@jimcoogan1529]

That one seems to be breaking a record for breaking reactors :-) The best.

[@brendaswolfe1435]

🎄🎅🤶

[@toddreed882]

Check out his recent release of Carol of The Bells!!!!

[@danielcrow9420]

Great reaction as always. May I suggest Mr. Grinch by Small Town Titans.

[@brentp2306]

Home Free O Holy Night.

[@AudioVile]

You asked, "Who should I react to next?" I know YOU know a cappella. Have you checked out m-pact? THey do an Earth, Wind, and Fire medley that is, in my opinion, outstanding. They 'reproduce' the brass section with surprising success! Here's a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faGTgHiNaMlratk

[@kelvincristopher8588]

3:31 Good low voice but i think it didn't hit the right note?? 🤔🤔

[@daviddavison3970]

For a good laugh react to Rusty Chevrolet by Da Yoopers (subscription Squad ) P.S. love the hair

[@garybryers7226]

#SubscriptionSquad You really need to react to Pentatonix Oh Come All Ye Faithful! Thanks!

[@Robert.Sheard]

I love all of Geoff's work (and VoicePlay's) but this might be my favorite of his solo works. And I don't even like Christmas music. 🤷

[@kylesummers1565]

I like Tim's tone better, but I think Geoff can trail lower.

[@marshayoung9387]

Geoff is all around the best.

[@lusifer8]

Careful , baby gonna have deep voice 🙄🤔

[@daviddavison3970]

Trans-Siberian Orchestra vibe
