Metal Vocalist First Time Reaction - Creep - Radiohead (acapella) VoicePlay ft. Anthony Gargiula

[@petacream6738]

I feel embarrassed that I had avoided watching this version thinking I would not enjoy it as now I am here in tears due to how beautiful it was

[@laundrygoddess4]

Nobody builds then let's you down softly like vp. They bring all the feels and just change the song to what you think it really needed to be all along

[@janetdw]

If you really liked Cesar’s vulnerability, you should check out their cover of I Can’t Make You Love Me. Cesar requested it, so Geoff arranged it and they selected EJ Cardona to fill in the guest artist spot. There’s no beatboxing in it so Layne is actually singing for a change (hooray). EJ is a member of Voctave, another highly rated a cappella group and is Omar’s brother. Omar has appeared with Voiceplay a number of times (and is roommate to Cesar.) EJ has performed one other time with VoicePlay in Go the Distance from the Disney movie Hercules. A lot of people say that that was their saddest song but I think this one has probably replaced it. Every time Cesar’s voice breaks on the word “cry” my eyes well up and it’s downhill from there 😭.

[@delord1619]

Talk about talent, even during his solo, Eli was calling the lighting changes with the remotes in his hands.

[@susanfulbright4898]

By each one refecting in the mirror it's as though they are saying all of us feel that way sometimes. That is why it touches all of us like it did.

[@ronsbrat525]

Awesome reaction John. Kudos to Eli for his arrangement to this. So freaking beautiful.

[@stuartfaulds1580]

from what I've heard the mirrors were Geoff's idea.

[@ronsbrat525]

@@stuartfaulds1580 Yes it was. The mirror is Cesar's.

[@Aqualyra]

​​@@stuartfaulds1580the musical arrangement, is Eli's, not the staging.

[@candilunsford2878]

The mirror was a genius idea. So often what we see in ourselves is fueled by our fears and insecurities and this introspective feel is perfect for this song. Cesar and those puppy eyes made me cry. Eli's arrangement was beautiful and I've been waiting for him to do a new one since Eleanor Rigby.

[@karenponchak5304]

Geoff's lowest recorded note is a B0 subharmonic in their covers of the "Halo" theme and "Valhalla Calling", and an A0 growl in their cover of "Enemy".

[@ilonadever8249]

I am old, did not know the song, did not know anything from Radiohead, except Geoff's solo cover of High and Dry. With Voiceplay, it does not matter. They can do a song that makes me cringe (The Chipmunk Song) or that I've never heard of and make me love it. Most of their arrangements are done by Geoff or Layne, but this one is all Eli all the time. He did their arrangement of Eleanor Rigby three years ago after a founding member (1997) left them. He had already done the arrangement, then had to decide whether to bring in a collaborator - no, because they didn't want to replace Earl, or change the arrangement. They did neither, Eli sang both tenor parts. I hope we don't have to wait another three years for Eli's next arrangement!

[@merdedespichard9444]

You’re my favorite reactor due to your Positivity! I thought Anthony Gargiula’s singing was outstanding in this, he’s really blossoming; and Eli of course is always wonderful. And Cesar is revealing more sides to himself, he was great in this. I just adore the VP version!

[@Cordelia53]

This so phenomenally fantastic!! These guys can do anything and turn it into gold. Had to grab me a box of tissues for this one. Cesar killed it with his emotions, Eli did amazing with this arrangement. I have no words. I mean They all put so many emotions into this song. I was crying through most of it. It is already on my playlist! Great reaction!!

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

Cesar is a god-like talent who also shines in their cover of I Can't Make You Love Me.

[@nonrmpermata9540]

Me too😄, I love "Creep" for long times. Nice cover👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I hear another Felix's deep voice there. Thank you for sharing and reacted.

[@jamiem4941]

I enjoyed this so much! I knew you would “get them”, they are so special. I think Eli arranged and did the lighting on this one. Seeing Caesar in a bigger role was perfect, he did present a fragile voice which was beautiful. Thank you John, as always I love watching your reactions!

[@unnidyrhaug5499]

I am stunned !! What voices, this song is a MASTERPIECE 😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@sampanther8854]

Me too that song is very dear to me and they blew my mind with that performance 😍 thank you for sharing 👍✌️❤️

[@larryc3860]

In my opinion, any good a capella performance just seems to make a song better.....this is GOOD........

[@annel6265]

I always look forward to your commentaries, John ...enthusiasm and expertise combined. It's a present to all of us. Thank you!

[@cathy8070]

YES…..this was mind blowing 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦

[@crystijones9518]

Another song I wouldnt have listened to if VP hadn't covered it..and always love theirs more.

[@ingeborgjackson2461]

Love,love love it😘😘😘

[@acorrado5529]

Great reaction- thanks!

[@clawa1970]

I agree with you on so many things. 😁 VP is also my favourite a cappella group. I also think, this is a masterpiece and I also already loved the original Radiohead song. But VP puts it into a complete different vibe and I like this version much more. Great reaction by the way, I like your enthusiasm. 👍

[@jackloomis1130]

Great reaction! I believe the lowest Geoff has gone is B0, which is nearly off of the piano!

[@bethgooch6243]

I Can’t Make You Love Me is another great one for Cesar.

[@Aurora-cv5to]

Loved your reaction, thank you! I think this is a stunningly gorgeous performance. Ely did this one - the arrangement, video, and of course... lighting design.

[@AuntDandy]

Love it!💜💜💜

[@spiwilson]

Voiceplay's masterclass on how to take a good song and make it stellar.

[@biljanabadovinac1575]

Wow, wow, that is amazing!!!!!!!

[@Tarkus_]

This is so epic. These guys just get better and better. And as you said, all their features are always great, but I think Anthony might be my favorite.

[@par500dragon7]

Just stunning.

[@jackiewilliams4298]

I love VP.

[@Badger77722]

A similar sound from Cesar is in the VoicePlay video of I Can't Make You Love Me.

[@bjspeck4337]

Geoff's lowest note is A0 (this may be outdated info since someone said he hit a G0 in a growl like the A0), B0 in subharmonic, F#1 in full chest voice, A5 in falsetto (Elvira live and on stage, again this may be outdated). To me, this is stunningly beautiful and heartrending. It takes me back to school days when kids were wickedly good at knifing you with words that made you feel so small and insignificant. VoicePlay is at the top of their game and have been for the last year or two. I listen to Home Free, Pentatonix, Voctave (got to see the in Tallahassee in Jan this year) and they are all really excellent but I don't think there is any group out there that can hold a candle to them. Thanks for doing these reactions. I see that you are about to hit 100K. I like your sign-off which reminds me of a quote: In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

[@smashmonster6929]

He actually hit a Bb5 in voiceplay’s mini cover of peaches. Also I’m pretty sure he has an F1 chest and then a few E1 chests that are questionably countable.

[@Traci2000]

I really enjoyed your reaction to this!! It was so beautifully done and I loved watching you take it all in. ❤❤

[@janeeggleston9542]

Great reaction!

[@stuartfaulds1580]

for ending on a low note try, Voiiceplay's Oogie Boogie song, where Geoff (their bass) shows off a lot of his insane vocal range.

[@lorriredmon8212]

A rollercoaster of emotions for sure. Pure excellence.

[@LumiEreDorama]

You should see Hopipolla - creep cover

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

this was so beautifully done ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jimk9860]

You have to check out the CREEP cover by PENTATONIX.

[@Tammy-km5uf]

The version after they are u masked on the Masked Singer is the best

[@johndandrea8034]

Great song...Great Reaction and analysis.

[@amberfuchscia709]

Beautiful reaction!

[@archashencmaa9937]

Great reaction John! Stay Blessed!!

[@geogiana2270]

I'M IN THE CREDITS! Ahem. Sorry, I only just managed to get into a situation where I could join that level of patronage for them and this is the first one my name is in. I'll be honest, I've never liked this song. Sorry, I just never have. When I saw that this was going to be the first one with my name on, I was bummed. But they what they did with it... Eli's arrangement is so dynamic, taking you through a whole emotional journey. And Cesar has been taking things to a whole new level it in the last couple of videos. I knew this song, of course, but honestly I've never liked it. But this.. I FELT this. Something about just how deeply emotional the performance is makes the lyrics tattoo them onto your soul.

[@conniesaratoga3194]

Check out Haley Reinhart and Post Modern Jukebox singing Creep in a totally reimagined vintage jazz style. It is another amazing interpretation by a phenomenally underrated singer who chose to stay independent and thus gets no radio or tv airtime,but gets to stay on control of her career. You won't be disappointed!

[@nataliemorton5568]

What a bunch of creeps! Had NO idea creeps could sing so harmoniously! Great cover John-- you pulled me right into the genius behind this group. ☺

[@ebruevrenselinanc2885]

Great reaction :) I would recommend for you to listen Brian Justin Crum's live performance of Creep at America's Got Talent. It is really mind blowing

[@tiffymcconkey]

Geoffs lowest note so far is a subharmonic B0 in Valhalla Calling

[@flar4282]

Not quite sure what Geoff got down to in this cover, but I know he's done a C1 in the Elvis cover of Way Down, a couple of B0s in their Halo cover and touched on an A0 at the end of their cover of Imagine Dragon's Enemy.

[@kerytanis4303]

Hey there, you have to check out pentatonix s version of this song alongside Tom Ball's version of the same song. YOUR FUN FROM GREECE.

[@DravenGal]

I was never a huge fan of the Radiohead version, found it depressing. But somehow, Voiceplay's isn't even though the emotions are so strong.

[@duraaedavis1416]

There are these two teenage sisters that did a phenomenal version of Creep I think on The Voice. Mimi and Josefin 2019

[@darcelburkhalter9617]

I agree😊

[@Bloodbound89]

it is a great cover , there iss just one i like more because the voice fits more i my opinion thats from a guy that sings with ranndom guys and girls on the streets. if you search for greg creep you should find it i like that version very much. this here is 2nd place but it was a close one :D

[@CyndraNeal]

👍

[@michelledotts2041]

Please watch Creep with Haley Reinhart, Post Modern Jukebox. She’s amazing 😊

[@matt8097]

You should check out pau from the warning do a piano cover of this is awesome.

[@mariamoore9813]

you should try geoff's songs

[@christinestromberg4057]

Five incredibly special guys who probably don't know it. Geoff famously feels too slender, Eli is short, Anthony has less than conventional good looks, Cesar is gay and had a friend shot in a gay club, I can't imagine what Layne might feel insecure about but no doubt there's something. We all do feel that way at times. And here they scream it out for the world to hear. Fabuilous. The mirrors were Geoff's idea, the rest was Eli.

[@andreakear97]

I should never listen to a vp song when I've already heard the PTX version because vp will always disappoint me. Just my opinion.
