Hoist the Colours Acapella VoicePlay ft Jose Rosario Jr (REACTION) First Time Hearing It

[@scottrogers7242]

Yes, the tall singer in the back row is their rotating guest vocalist Jose Rosario, Jr, regular group member Cesar was on his right, and regular member Eli was on his left. Jose is also featured in Voiceplay's "Drunken Sailer" and "My Mother Told Me"

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you for this. I hope to get to know them all better.

The best thing about having a name people find difficult to pronounce is that when you pick up the phone and someone butchers your name, you know it’s a sales call or someone else you don’t want to talk to. So you can hang up before they get into their spiel and go on with your day. Saves your time and theirs as well. Have you reacted to “What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor” yet? That’s another brilliant sea shanty by Voiceplay. Great reaction!

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

So you're saying I should get the spelling of my name legally changed to "Kxtg" but continue to pronounce it "Nathan"?

[@lkayh]

@@jonadabtheunsightly Exactly!!

[@SaeedReacts.]

That is a good one! Will keep that in mind. i just recorded a reaction to that one. Will go up later today.

[@christinestromberg4057]

One of my favourites. These guys are so creative. Before they create an arrangement their has to be the initial concept and that's what amazes me. The imagination that starts the process.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I love learning more about different creative processes.

[@bjspeck4337]

Let's add to your pirate shanties - Drunken Sailor. You got Jose name right. This was the first VoicePlay I heard. The first KZbin music I heard was Geoff's Monster Mash and I went looking for more - found Hoist the Colours. What a life! More Viking - My Mother Told Me and Valhalla Calling, more gaming - Dragonborn Comes Skyrim and Halo Theme. All of VoicePlay have worked at Disney or Universal in the past, and learned the value and enjoyment of the theatrics with their spectators. It makes them a singular group within the a capella world.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you for the recommendations and sharing this. It's cool they all have experience in these area's and it shows.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

I love seeing how you enjoy Voiceplay's videos. We all reacted that way when we first watched. It reminds us just how much we love these crazy good artists.

[@SaeedReacts.]

They are so good. Impressive. I enjoyed this one so much.

[@BetsySchiller-sj2sm]

Your face said everything 😅 This was the first Voiceplay video I watched. Two years later I'm still in the rabbit hole! Have fun! They never disappoint ❤

[@SaeedReacts.]

This was so much fun! Thanks for watching.

[@thisismetoday7423]

They are always so entertaining, this is one of my favorites ❤

[@SaeedReacts.]

This is so good! Thanks for watching.

[@nerdywordyprincess8499]

So excited for more Voiceplay! If you haven't seen it yet, you need to check out their cover of Drunken Sailor! And speaking of mispronounced names, a lot of reactors mispronounced or misspelled Geoff's name so often that it has now become a kind of inside joke with him and his fans. So when he clones himself in his solo work, the clones are named Jeff, Jeoph (pronounced gee-off), Goff, and Daryl. To be fair, Daryl wasn't a misspelling or mispronunciation. He appeared in Ghost Riders in the Sky and Geoff said he just looked like a Daryl. Lol.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I have a reaction to Drunken Sailor coming soon. So good! Thank you for sharing that. That is a funny and creative way of approaching that!

[@hwyla4416]

Whether or not you react to them, you should be told to check out some of their 'Shorts' and not so Shorts for the Pirate/Sailing theme as well as the full size songs. They have (as a real 'short') "Yo Ho! A Pirate's Life For Me" and "The Last Shanty", then as a 'Biggie' there's "Wellerman". Then, not 'Pirate' but instead 'Viking' brings you to "My Mother Told Me" followed by "Valhalla Calling". After all, Vikings sailed the big, bad sea, too! And really stretching the ocean theme brings "Moana" and "The Little Mermaid" Medleys. But PACE yourself! No need to get all pruney and waterlogged all at once!

[@SaeedReacts.]

I will have a look at some of their shirts. Thank you for all the suggestions. And i will try not to burn myself out, thanks for reminding me!

[@hwyla4416]

@@SaeedReacts. Yeah - I'm enjoying your reactions. I want you in it for the long haul. So NO Burnouts! Altho' I can certainly understand the excitement - jumping from one song to the next!

[@janetdw]

When they come out with a new one, it is my favorite for a while. But I always return to a few of them over and over again that compete for number one. This is definitely the top of that list. Originally, Eli was supposed to be singing the part that José sang. They had another guest artist lined up but he couldn’t make it out due to Covid travel restrictions. José had just come home to Orlando because the Chicago performance of Hamilton he was in had to close. So he was a last-minute substitution but couldn’t hit those belts that Eli can. So although he had already recorded his part, Eli had to learn the new part and re-record. It’s one of the things that I find so amazing about this group. No matter which guest artist it is they always fit in like they’ve always been part of the group. As a patron, I get to see some of the behind-the-scenes which is always entertaining. But in this one we got to see Cesar kind of freak out. He and José attended the same high school and were in theatrical performances together. They hadn’t seen each other for a while. He was extremely excited🎉. In addition to performing on stage, José was also a member of Rockapella, the first modern a cappella group I had heard when the television program Carmen San Diego came out. A few other favorites of mine are the Queen in 5 Minutes medley, Boy Bands in 5 Minutes and Dragonborn/ Skyrim. Original member Earl, who was the high tenor until 2020, appears in the first two along with J None who was the baritone at that time. In Dragonborn, Cesar was baritone and his bestie and sometime roommate, Omar Cardona, is the guest. That is the same lineup as their new space shanty as well as their cover of Aerosmith’s Dream On.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you for sharing this! I love Queen so excited for that one. And i grew up in the 90's so i should know a few boyband songs as well (i hope).

[@janetdw]

@@SaeedReacts. The Queen medley is outstanding. I’ve heard that the production is based on a burst appendix that Earl, the high tenor, experienced. It has an underlying story based on the characters (lords of the underworld) that they are portraying. So when they flash the explanations of who each of the guys is representing you might want to pay attention. I am in my 70s and my son is in his 40s and I recognized every song but one. I’m pretty sure you’ll recognize even the older ones as they’re pretty much classics that people do not typically think of as boy bands.

[@Denalicat]

This one will forever be known as the song that made a reactor jump out of his chair... in his boxers.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I just heard about this :D

[@fabianamercedezortiz7631]

Hola desde Argentina... Yo he escuchado muchos grupos a capella, y debo decir, que Voiceplay es el mejor! No solo por su calidad vocal (soberbia) sino por su calidad actoral también... Ay! Tienes taaanto por ver aún! y te asombrarás con cada presentación como una mejor que la otra... Por eso no sugiero ninguna en particular.. porque todas son asombrosas! Un abrazo a la distancia 😊

[@SaeedReacts.]

They are amazing! Thank you for watching. Greetings from Belgium!

Can we just talk about the fact that someone used the term "sepulchral" in a song? Such a cool, creepy word!

[@SaeedReacts.]

That was a first for me!

[@laundrygoddess4]

When this came out, we had a broken reactor count going. One even forgot that he wasn't wearing pants and jumped up and ran around. You were pretty composed! Well done

THIS is why they are called the theater kids of a capella 😂 💜💜

[@SaeedReacts.]

I am beginning to understand that. This is great!

[@user-pk9zw8zb7b]

In my opinion, this one it's the best acapella song ever made. But I'm always waiting for their next cover. They surprise us every time.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I am still new to this world, but wow this was great! Thanks for watching.

[@kmwwrench]

This is a good one. Jose is also in their very fun version of Drunken Sailor.

[@SaeedReacts.]

It is great. I actually went straight into reacting to Drunken Sailor, because i was having so much fun. Hope to get that one uploaded soon. Thanks for watching.

[@fairabbigailgrace]

I see many have already said you should react to Drunken Sailor, so I guess I'll suggest My Mother Told me, Valhalla Calling, Moana Medley, Boy Bands in 5 Minutes, Queen in 5 Minutes, In the Air Tonight, Halo Theme Song (I have never played the game and I think it's awesome), Metallica's Nothing Else Matters...I can suggest more if you need more...but really any you pick are fantastic. :) If you click on one it's going to be awesome. Thanks for your reaction videos and have a fantastic Monday!!

[@SaeedReacts.]

So many interesting titles. I hope i can get to all of them eventually. Have a great Monday as well!

[@fairabbigailgrace]

If you become a patron they always post BTS from every video. Fun fact: while setting up Geoff and Eli were singing SpongeBob SquarePants as they were carrying stuff in. The backdrop is a theater curtain.

That sounds like fun. They built a great community. Looking forward to explore more.

[@JillPeterson-dr6ox]

You might want to pace yourself a little. Give your mind a chance to process everything. I know you just want to keep going, but make sure you're taking care if you're physical and mental health too. With that said, how about recommendations for some older throw backs including a group if songs that tell a story: Starting with Trapped in 3 Minutes by Billie Eilish continuing with Panic at The Disc in 4 Minutes (parts 1&2) Then Queen in 5 Minutes .

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you for this. I have been going pretty hard, but i will keep that advice in mind. Soon some changes are coming to my life, which will open up more time and give me more peace. I truly appreciate your comment, because we do need reminders once in a while. I will add those recommendations to my list.
