Hoist the Colours Acapella VoicePlay Reaction

[@par500dragon7]

This song is EPIC! It broke several reactors when it came out. One guy got out of his chair and left the room, forgetting he only had boxers on!

[@lorriredmon8212]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@KaireemReactions]

I can see why and I was worth the wait to react to this 😊. Sorry for the late reply

[@Traci2000]

QoFy's reaction to this is definitely my favorite! 😂 Gotta love when someone gets so into it they forget they're not wearing pants! 🤣

[@markbelcher2972]

That arrangement, production, and performance was EPIC and it should have won an award. I’ve never seen/heard better.

[@KaireemReactions]

I agree I do believe it should of won an award ! It was incredible

[@marleiaisenhoward1891]

Check out carry on my wayward son! They killed it as well

[@Traci2000]

This one was my favorite from them until "Nothing Else Matters" came out. It's so theatrical and that style is absolutely perfect for something like this. It just suits them. And they crushed it. Really enjoyed your reaction to this one! ❤️

[@KaireemReactions]

I agree ! They both are outstanding. Thank you for watching 😁

[@jayb8698]

"Did you hear that last note ????" Seriously, you've gotta check out Voice Play's cover of Oogie Boogie Song. You ain't heard nothing yet 😁😁😁

[@joshuaebel7096]

Also fun fact this sea shanty was used in the Pirates of the Caribbean 3! Which is why it is bit more well known

[@KaireemReactions]

Oooohhh that’s where I think I remembered the rhythm from ! Thank you

[@carinarodebak9419]

Yep Kaireem, it's up there by the side of NEM. Also been known as the reactor breaking cover, that's now have competition. It' s from Pirates of Caribean 3. That face you made, you'll guaranteed to end up in a reactors cut video, lol.🤣

[@caitlinkavanagh3298]

Yes, each group is excellent and has their own flavor, but I just love VoicePlay, they do so many styles and always have so much fun doing it. Their behind the scenes are always so much fun.

[@laundrygoddess4]

I'm so grateful you realize you can't compare the big three acapella groups. They all have their specialty. I'm into the video adding to the meaning of the song so I'm a voiceplayer. I can appreciate all three but vp speaks the most the me.

[@KaireemReactions]

Yes they are definitely in their own lane and I can totally understand why you love VP. Thank you for watching. Also it took me awhile to reasons how different they are

[@aaroncoffman88]

What Geoff did was technically subharmonics but I think subatomic works too as would subterranean.

[@KaireemReactions]

Oh I see and 😅 it was ridiculous low

[@Broomrider1492]

This Arrangement and Video by Geoff Castellucci. They are Pirates here and in their cover of "My Mother Told Me" again with Jose. They are Vikings. Absolutely love your reaction to this. #TheatreKidsOfACappella. My #1 group and #1 bass. Geoff hitting those high notes is killer. The way sustains that last low note is amazing every time I hear it. Sub-Harmonic note.

[@KaireemReactions]

They did this arrangement magnificently. Thank you for watching. Ahh that’s the note 😊 thank you

[@christinestromberg4057]

You got the name right, :) It's pretty much what it looks like. I think when the name Eli is the whole name. it's pronounced like eel-eye. This Eli's name is short for Eliezer, so that's why it's said differently. I love your reaction to this. I imagine you'll be playing it over and over, as most of us do. :) Oh and it's subhamonics Geoff does. This song was written for Pirates of the Caribbean, At Worlds End.

[@5foot2eyesofblue13]

You're right it's short for Eliezer which is pronounced eh·lee·ay·zr. It's Hebrew I think.

[@christinestromberg4057]

@@5foot2eyesofblue13 Yes it's a Jewish/Hebew biblical name

[@KaireemReactions]

Thank you for letting me know I’m as right 😊. Yes ! I see but thanks for exposing the Eli name too😊. That’s the word !… I was close aha . Sorry for the late reply

[@jabbazabba23]

Bro I’ve been waiting for you to hit this one. If me and Voiceplay were married, this would be the song that came on the jukebox that I instantly fell in love with it from across the bar.

[@KaireemReactions]

Sorry for the late reply and it was always going to happen 😅. It just took me some time to get there and I don’t regret it.. I don’t disagree with that 😅

[@justann1358]

Love this one! Definitely one of my favourite from VoicePlay

[@KaireemReactions]

Agree!!

[@ruthrussell1329]

Actually, Geoff's last note is higher. He holds the low "die" for several seconds (about 7) then modulates upward about an octave, and hold it til the end.

[@KaireemReactions]

No way 👀.. it doesn’t sound like it hmm 🤔

[@janetdw]

Congratulations! You showed admirable restraint there. One of the reactors was so blown away, he got up and walked off, not realizing he was in his boxer shorts. At least you were fully dressed! You can see why this is so popular. It’s almost operatic between the costumes, and the incredibly complex arrangement and the quality of their voices. I’ve always said it’s like a tapestry of sound. Not a wall of sound because that is solid. But the tapestry is woven. You got Jose’s name right. Spanish is usually pretty easy to figure out except for the accents because most of the time the letters are pronounced the same way. Not like English where dough, through, cough, rough and bough all end the same but sound different! José and Cesar went to high school together and were in performances there. He actually was a last minute substitution because the artist that they had originally written the part for couldn’t make it due to Covid restrictions. So even though Jose is in the center back and is the featured artist, he does not have the majority of the lead lines which is normally the case with Voice Play. He could doesn’t do those crazy high notes like Eli does, so Eli had to re-record and Jose took the part that Eli originally was going to do I didn’t think anything would ever kick this off of my number one spot for their performances, but their recent one just shot right up there. It’s especially surprising to me because I am not a metal fan. But you just can’t argue with perfection.

[@KaireemReactions]

Sorry for the late reply but thank you for the comment. I apologise if i don’t reply to everything. No way 😅 well at least that person enjoyed it and I can’t blame them. This was 10/10 and you are right. Their recent one definitely is up there. What a group and I am loving them 😊. Nice I got it right ! And nice to see that they do duets with long term friends. Gotta appreciate the support 😊

[@justann1358]

The reactor is QoFyReacts. And there’s a string of videos where another reactor reacts to QoFy’s reaction and another reactor reacting to that. It’s quite funny. I think it’s King Family Reacts and then Brad Steele

[@KaireemReactions]

[@patriciaschuman4205]

Yeah, I totally understand the confusion about how to pronounce Eli, since most of us assume the first time that we see it that it's serving as a nickname for Elijah, hence you think it should be EE-lie (and I'm sure a lot of us grew up hearing Three Dog Night's song Eli's Coming, which pronounces it that way). But in this case it is short for Eliezar, where the first two syllables of the name is pronounced similar to the first two syllables of Elliot.

[@KaireemReactions]

Thank you for explaining 😁

[@allisoncameron-dicker2737]

Couldn't quite tell if you liked this one or not🤣 then of course there was Geoff's slide from cellar to attic.. .. Great reaction. Xx ❤🇬🇧

[@cometgirl217]

First time watching this channel and I’m blown away! Your initial reaction was so contagiously joyful 🥳 And the genuinely thoughtful commentary afterwards was an unexpected bonus!

[@robinhatcher8021]

The sub woofer note. Like when bass is so low/strong on your speakers, they vibrate. Geoff is doing THAT! Amazing.

[@KaireemReactions]

If that’s the note then damn 🤯.. what a range

[@robinhatcher8021]

@@KaireemReactions yes, that's the note and his range is unreal low! I read he has 5 octave range but don't know if that's entirely true. But the sub woofer is for sure! Seems it would just shred his vocal cords! Another woofer is Tim Foust from Home Free. He worked with Geoff for being a woof.

[@KaireemReactions]

@@robinhatcher8021 wow! Nice acapella small world there. What a talented guy. I love his work

[@robinhatcher8021]

@@KaireemReactions me too. If you haven't already, and you want to hear Geoff being UNREAL LOW, check out Hoist the Colors by Voiceplay. Shock at what he does doesn't begin to describe. Love all the guys in it, but Eli has crazy voice too.

[@arthurplane9682]

Ok Mr. Kaireem! (I subbed 2 help your goal btw) Some very gentile suggestions to perhaps help you along your way. Firstly your reactions themselves are fantastic and honest. That being said, there are some very very superficial actions that you could make to help you reach your goal. Firstly, is your "background", I know that it is very shallow, however merely watching someone's plain white painted room is dull for your audience. Simple fix? Rig some twine on across your backspace and hang one or more light colored flags, tapestries, team bed-sheets, or whatever suits your fancy so the audience is not watching yer flat screen TV in the background the whole time. Later as you grow, and can afford it, replace it with a simple green screen. Second (I was a Theater Nerd BTW.) is Lighting. Fluorescent, or cool white bulbs and LEDs "wash people out" making their eyes seem hollow or Zombie like, please use what is called a "warm white" or "natural light" bulb and your problems will be solved. A simple lighted mirror with your name and channel written on it with magic marker also works, use a cool color for it like green or purple. Once again! I am NOT critical of your reactions / style whatsoever, I merely want you to succeed in your endeavors. Good Luck ... AJ

[@KaireemReactions]

Thank you 🙏🏾! Yes so I massively appreciate this comment. Love that you are giving me some feedback on what can be done on my background. I am aware of this and it’s the first thing on my list to improve but unfortunately nothing cheap to get and organise especially for my Name to be lighten up on a sign. Once I get somewhere or get enough money in general backing me I can then start purchasing new things to help my background look more appealing 😊. Thank you tho

In terms of arrangement Vocative is more like a small choir than most modern acapella. They don't use vocal percussion and the larger number of singers changes how they shape thier harmonies
