So cool!

[@catwhowalksbyhimself]

@@angelabowman1614 You keep repeating this, yes, Elizabeth herself on this channel said she has some backing vocals in it, so you don't know the full story.

[@EbonRaven]

Don’t get me wrong, I love Geoff’s voice and I think there aren’t many songs he can’t do amazingly…. But I really can’t imagine anyone other than J singing the lead for this. (This is my favorite song from Princess and the Frog, so it made me so happy they did this one.)

[@DravenGal]

I love Eli’s little yelp when J starts to chide him!

[@rmdewberry2482]

Every time I hear JNone I remember just how much I love his voice.

[@lkayh]

Great reaction, Elizabeth! Will you please pretty please do one of Voiceplay’s Hide and Seek and talk to us about your part in it??

[@angelabowman1614]

That was someone named Lauren Paley.

[@maryboyer242]

Lauren was the featured artist, but Elizabeth did background vocals on it.

[@christineschutten248]

Someone said the rattling of Geoff's bass booms was supposed to resemble a blown speaker! That's my favorite part of course! Now that you have worked with VoicePlay I am hoping for a collaboration with yourself and Geoff I feel like your voices would blend beautifully together.❤️🎵🎶

[@lkayh]

I love this area of J.None’s voice. Very rich. Nice texture

[@tompeavy8254]

Awesome review and some genius decisions by VP throughout. Toward the beginning Eli does a solo after J sprinkles his head. But his words are actually J’s character speaking through him. Such a neat touch. At the end on Geoff’s bass drop, I think it’s a nod back to the hip hop section. Geoff’s bass sounds like a rattling car stereo and Layne comes in with the DJ scratches. It is so cool and I enjoyed your analysis.

[@jaguarfb96]

I NEED to hear about your time working with VoicePlay!!!! To get the chance to sing with them would be a dream come true

[@bewolver6173]

I will always love Geoff’s deep “dum dum dum” where you mentioned the vibrating/rattling, and of course before that “the caaaards, the caaaaards!”

[@bobharp3492]

Great job I love watching you get giddy as things get crazy

[@Wannabe_Baby]

Love the eyebrow movement at 14:50 and Evil Elizabeth's "yeahhhh!" at 15:05. Both hilarious! :D Your enjoyment is always so infectious.

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

loved J in this a part he was born to play I think! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@dougtexas]

So much fun with the groove changes! The abruptness of quick time signature and mood just makes it more entertaining! Jay really came through, and so did everyone else. Of course, Geoff, and especially Layne's awesome beat-boxing and bass drive.......oustanding!!!!

[@codytutor567]

So glad to see more Voiceplay reactions! I’ve been missing seeing them on your channel, love what you’re doing!

[@LazerWulf]

This was a good one. Always good to have J.NONE back. For some old-school VoicePlay spooky goodness, can I recommend their Grim Grinning Ghosts video? It's one of my Halloween staples. Also, Geoff's Headless Horseman proves he's the second coming of Thurl Ravenscroft himself.

[@leslieholland7843]

Phenomenal! Great reaction! Thanks, Elizabeth -- I saw so much more when I watched through your eyes.

[@mattrichardson5678]

Thanks Elizabeth for another great analysis, your true passion always shines when you do an a cappella analysis and it’s so wonderful. It made a big difference when you pointed out the section with the “ah” vowel sound for the future lyrics, and the bass dropping to resolve the high section.

[@Warlocke000]

In a movie you can get away with stopping the music and vocals in the middle of a song to do some more dialog or what have you, but in a cover like this it would be awkward, so delivering the dialog as a sort of rap to keep the musical flow moving is definitely the way to go. Maybe not the only choice, but almost certainly the best/smartest one.

[@billparrish4385]

Great reaction, Elizabeth! I always love the look of pure joy you have while watching these, like an excited little girl on Christmas morning gazing over her pile of presents! 🎄🎅 And thanks for the mention of actor Keith David, who as you said voiced the original Dr Facilier, and the other voice roles you mentioned. Besides his voice work, he was also Mary's stepfather in _There's Something About Mary (1998),_ and the general at NASA in the Bruce Willis 'blow up the comet' movie _Armageddon (1998),_ for those who want to put a face to the voice.

[@sarawlindgreen3115]

Great, fun and engaging reaction ❤️ I always love your reactions to Voiceplay and to Geoff, and I highly recommend that you check out Geoff's newest cover of 'Ghost Riders in the sky'.

[@laurenkop1019]

You have mentioned how their costuming (like the bone or nose prosthetic) effects the voice. I always assumed these music videos were lip synced (sing alongs) and actually recorded in a studio.

[@allenfortenberry9924]

You should react to Geoff's new cover of Ghost Riders in the Sky

[@joergojschaefer3521]

Week II with the spooky Spooktoberbeth 😁 Get your Mojo ready for the other Side, Voodoocharismaniacs *Muhahahaha* 😁

[@DanielaMiszezun]

I watched it several times.. I really liked this version... :) And your reactions too. One learns a lot.

[@samanthalloyd85]

This is my son's favourite film and song he was always singing it when he was younger

[@MiladyMacabre]

Keith David is also well-known to Disney fans as the voice of Goliath in Gargoyles.

[@morganalori]

It's fun to keep finding new things with every rewatch. Seeing Lock,Shock, and Barrel's masks in the background. So fun.

[@dougel4709]

The rattle in the bass drop sounds to me like one of those 'cars that go boom', but is also missing a bunch of the bolts that should be holding it together!! 🔊🔊🔊🔩🔩

[@richardfranz3180]

At 12:52 the tongue makes its' grandest appearance yet, lol. That's what I always look for. It's the Elizabeth stamp of approval. On another note, I'd like to get your take on a new PMJ release. It's a cover of "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. I know what most are thinking, but you know what Scott can do with an arrangement, and the featured singer, Caity Gyorgy, is spectacular.

[@jacobwalsh1888]

Love your reactions as always. Hoping to see you do some more Dio :). There are at least three Dio pieces you should do at some point. One is mistreated, from his rainbow era, live in Munich 1977. The other two are from his sabbath days, Sign of the southern cross, studio version, and finally falling off the edge of the world, live. The last one is a performance only months before his death.

[@R-Barchetta]

Anything and from the 1977 Munich show is worthy of review/reaction, it was such an amazing show! Falling Of The Edge Of The World is excellent, so is Shadow Of The Wind, but I would love to see her reaction to Metal Will Never Die by The Rods featuring RJD.

[@DravenGal]

I just adore J and Cesar’s voices together!

[@hailthebagwan]

Long time listener, first time commenter. Big fan. I just heard Devon Townsends "Kingdom" live performance on EMG TV. Gave me goosebumps, a cacophony of sound and he seems to have such a great time performing. Would love your take as he goes from operatic to metal growl so easily but looks like it must hurt. Love your work.

[@janhankins911]

Got two I'd love, love, love to hear you react to. Hide and Seek (Ding Dong) by VoicePlay. Very Halloween. The second is Nessun Dorma by Rob and Austin from Home Free. Would love to hear your reaction to that! And , while I love the different artists Voice Play brings in, I miss J. None!

[@arthurdeamorim4775]

I recently found your Channel, awesome job, cheers com Brazil ❤️

[@MoramothHauntz]

I've watched this video a few times this last few weeks. It's great and I'm going to watch it a ton more

[@angelabowman1614]

I see you commented on VoicePlays new song "Hide and Seek (Ding Dong)"....it is Super Fabulous! Love it! 🎃👍

[@philwaugh9095]

People forget that Geoff beatboxes too. I mean can you imagine a better voice made in the heavens for dropping the bass beats? It feels like he used to do it more way back in the day.

[@YMath806]

May I suggest you check out Voiceplay's ACA Top 10 - Disney Heroes or any of that series. It's a fun medley and the video shows a lot of voiceplay's playful personality. May I also suggest Voiceplay's Queen in 5 mins. not only is it another great voiceplay medley, of Queen songs non the less, but the video is very entertaining and has some 'lore'. I remember the paragraphs in the comments analysing it, Thank you for the wonderful video and and insights. You help me catch and appreciate so many more details in these pieces of art.

[@Myho07]

This was so awesome, so fun and creative! They did an amazing job.

[@janetdw]

I love how they re-created the storyline from the movie just like they did in Oogie Boogie. I believe Keith David did those vocals as well. Neat fact about Dr. Facilier‘s name. Did you notice during the hoodoo voodoo section that the sacrificial chicken 🐔 was HeiHei from Moana? Also the set was used in Geoff’s cover of Way Down. Pretty funny to hear you explain that those ooooohs are generally spooky sounds since you just finished contributing yours to this year’s Halloween video😂. Thank you for explaining how all the vowels affect the overall mood. Now I have to go back and listen to karaoke tracks again. As someone with no musical training I have found that listening to analyses like yours and then listening to the karaoke track really helps me appreciate the entire performance and not just the lead vocals which has always been my general inclination.

[@nicholasnyiri3861]

Always love your videos! They always brighten my day! I would love to do a video with you sometime I'm a singer and voice actor as well! I would love to take lessons with you that would be epic!

[@stefanomaccheo]

Best song ever for Halloween is Bauhaus' Bela Lugosi's Dead live at Coachella. You should totally react to that. Peter Murphy is a goth icon and that song is considered the first goth single. If possible, don't look at the thumbnail before the reaction. It's a surprise. That Coachella performance was one of a kind. You'll be more than interested cause there's no dropoff in the performance even in his particular condition on that night.

[@ana900127]

Haven't seen it yet and already liked it! Cant wait for the premiere

[@janetdw]

Yet another bogus telegram request. Other reactors have reported these as a scam.

[@bjspeck4337]

You always bring things to the table that I never singled out. How did you hold out on this one for a whole year? I think I've watched it at least once a week. Can I help talk you into doing Hide and Seek (Ding Dong)? I would love, love, love to hear your take on it.

[@sirkat344]

It really does amaze me at times at how 'just' voices can create such a full sound, as if there's instruments involved. Very, very cool. TCV Halloween is in full force now! 😈 Mwah-hahahaha!

[@jasonschicantek]

For others spooky themed groups, The Merkins are a horror themed parody group. They have a ton of covers, but I'd suggest their song Slashstreet Boys - 'I'll Kill You That Way' as a start.

[@tpernis23]

KING DIAMOND has a song called HALLOWEEN. Live at The Fillmore in Philadelphia is a great version. He's also got a Christmas song called No Presents For Christmas

[@claudevillemaire355]

Now that you have satisfied your Halloween urges, you desperately need to react to Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown singing Nessun Dorma on a video titled Two country singers try to sing opera on Austin Brown's channel!

[@TheRealityleak]

This. A million times this. Its amazing!

[@f-allen]

Please allow me to add my request to the above -- Austin Brown and Rob Lundquist singing Nessun Dorma. I would genuinely love to see your reaction and analysis! I'm betting a LOT of your followers would. Pretty please? With some Home Fries on the side?

[@stantharp8355]

I agree a hundred percent 💯, Rob and Austin do a fantastic job

[@kylestaples465]

Damn you kinda pause skipped J's powerful run.but another great reaction! Glad you finally did this one

[@MugiwaraMSH]

I love love love your reactions! Cannot wait to watch this one. I’ve got a request that I know won’t get many likes but the performance is so good. Daniel Johns (of silverchair) cover of Smells like Teen Spirit live performance with only a piano and harp.

[@gordonpromish9218]

always fun to watch you get jumpy with delight

[@zhubajie6940]

Regarding the singing tiki masks, I remember one time for a wide world of entertainment at Disney World sitting alone in the Tiki Room at about midnight or so, again no one in the room. A more creeping prickly at the back of your neck feeling one cannot have.

[@jasondean88888]

Would like to see you do a deep dive on Axl Rose. I'd love for an explination on what people are taking about for his nom falsetto voice singing. He is considered a bass-barriton but has a near 6 octave range that goes higher than oprha sopranos using some technicque Ive never heard you discuss here. If you get interested. make sure to crowd source which songs. He doesnt often play with his low range, but he's in Garth Brooks Friends in low Places "low" type range amd his upper end chops and the overtones and quality of his voice is what made him a star. Massive endurance as well. Easily some 30 second power notes he's held. It'd a shame he let himself get out of shape, but it's thought some of the loss has just been because of damage due to the techniques he choose. "Deal with the devil" type thing. Likely wouldnt have been as big without taking on the damaging style.

[@laurabondu5609]

Sorry to say so but "facilier" isn't a french word but "faciliter" is indeed from the verb "facilitate". Love the reaction as always and Voiceplay definitely nailed this song which is one of my favorite.

[@stevenshewfelt888]

every time Geoff sings , it makes you giggle , i love it

[@louieleanos3554]

I always enjoy your reactions. Add Rob Lundquist & Austin Brown's version of Nessun Dorma to your list.

[@Sytrylt]

Heyy great video as always !! ;) Just a correction, because I'm French. Facilier doesn't mean facilitate. The word than means facilitate is "faciliter". The character's name lacks a T to be the french word. But I guess they may have made a play on the word for his name.

[@phoenixaki3458]

What you NEED to do for Halloween at some point this month is Devin Townsend's song "Vampira", the video is so goofy and with everyone in skeleton costumes and it's a fun song :D

[@gonzalodecata136]

Can't go wrong with Elizabeth + VP, such a good combo!

[@robhosner5784]

There is a great Halloween song called Scare Me by a band called Ludo. Also there biggest hit Love Me Dead would be a great song to analyze IMO.

[@chlistens7742]

I want to see your analysis of Hide and Seek (ding dong) i know you did voice over's in it.. and I loved them but i think you have an opportunity to give us more background on this and i don't know if you have seen the finished song or not (if you have it still would be nice to hear your overview and insight on it)

[@chrisgertz8250]

For Halloween I think you should check out Halloween by Helloween. Lyric version. Unfortunately the official video was shortened. Missing a lot of great stuff.

[@manuelsessa9072]

Great! Next are The Headless Horseman from Geoff Castellucci and Kidnap Sandy Claws from Voiceplay also

[@SAITO2]

love this song so much

[@paultemple5042]

As someone who actually has ' Friends on the Other Side ' , seeing this come from Voiceplay is a delight for me. And Seeing it being evaluated by the Charismatic Voice is even more so.😊✌️❤️

[@billparrish4385]

17:04 That 'interesting rattle' by Layne, I'm thinking that's all him, not a production effect. It reminds me of how he ended 'We Don't Talk About Bruno', with his voice distortion there, containing a raspy hum and (I think) a bit of 'ingressive phonation', or 'inward bass beatbox'.

[@darktoranaga]

Since Halloween is getting close, some Halloween might be appropriate? Maybe "A Tale That Wasn't Right"?

[@dennislloyd4018]

Two COUNTRY Singers try singing OPERA - "Nessun Dorma" - Austin Brown and @Rob Lundquist

[@jestana]

Before the Princess and the Frog, I mainly knew of Keith David as Goliath from Gargoyles

[@uncle_thulhu]

Well, you know Halloween is Voiceplay's season, just like Xmas is PTX's. They've already done Hide and Seek from (I think) Disney's Haunted Mansion, and Geoff's just done Ghost Riders in the Sky. Both brilliant, as usual. Not to mention, did you ever do Geoff's Headless Horseman from a few years ago? I think the bone clips onto his septum. Hope it didn't mess with his skills too much. Speaking of which, I do wish you'd react to some competitive beatboxing. You'll be amazed, I promise. This is the 2018 Grand Beatbox Championship final, between Codfish (Australia) and D-Low (UK). kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3XRaGiqesufftE

May I suggest Five Finger Death Punch’s Ivan Moody vocal reaction? His voice is legendary and very underrated as many tend to hate on the band. I personally don’t think there’s anyone else like him, his yell, his singing, his anger. It’s passionate. Maybe react to the song Roll Dem Bones by Five Finger Death Punch?

[@Jezebel29]

I'd really like to see this as well! Especially some of the earlier work, or their cover of a New Level by Pantera!

[@blinkin7795]

for a halloween song i recommend the Marilyn Manson cover of "This is Halloween". it is a good introduction into Manson's vocal abilities without the risk of traumatizing Elizabeth.

[@paultemple5042]

@The Charismatic Voice, the bone is called Makeup and there are plenty of ways to create the Visual Effect of someone having a bone through their nose without actually having a bone through their nose.

[@mikeofmidgard]

That was nice today. Voice Play analysis videos always make fun😄 The rattle on the lower bit at 17:00 calls for a short and follow up with iZotope 😇😉 For some reason I cannot paste the video url with timestamp here (as I would like to), which immediately leads to removal of the comment 🙄🤯What the heck is YT doin' here? 👀 How about scam removal?

[@marshayoung9387]

[@cherilogan8761]

Replay crew....got hit pretty hard by hurricane in Florida. Need the distraction right now thx

[@maloxi1472]

1:45 Quick note: "Faciliter" is the actual French translation for "to facilitate" . "Facilier" would actually be closer to the French word "facile", which means "easy"... so on the whole, this wouldn't change your interpretation (as "the one who facilitates") too much 😉

[@scolombe1]

I've got a suggestion to check out as well, "Pure Massacre" by Silverchair. Daniel Johns has an amazing voice and was I think 15 or 16 when Silverchair released their first album.

[@samsinger5135]

this was really fun they did... another take on this sang by Thomas Sanders with others in "Friends On the Other Side - Disney Villain Mash-Up | Thomas Sanders" where they mashed up a few villain songs while playing this.. highly recommend checking out

[@Rosannasfriend]

Great reaction and song!

[@SaeAreum]

Great Video! It's my first time commenting on one of your Videos, but i just gotta ask you to react to EDEN. Songs like wake up, crash, gravity end credits, times like these. There are so many great songs, his music is so emotional, therapeutic, downright depressive... Would really love to hear your take on his music. ❤️

[@robertthwaites3007]

The "bone through the nose" made me think of it as a Screamin' Jay Hawkins reference.

[@Chaser547]

just cause I like noting his wonderful work an additional credit of Keith David was when he voiced Goliath from the Disney Cartoon Gargoyles and one of his more notable video game roles is that of Captain Anderson from Mass Effect and the Arbiter from Halo

I would highly recommend a review of The Dead South. An amazing band, would like to have your thoughts on them!

Do you think you'll be able to react/analyze some of the Pattycake production songs please?

Please don't miss Geoff Castellucci's Ghost Riders In The Sky cover. Came out on Oct 5. It is not to be missed.

[@jackchisnall9316]

I don't sing and I don't play an instrument in fact I don't understand music let alone singing but I thoroughly enjoy it. To help me understand could you answer two questions, 1 what is singing what separates it from other noises that come out of the mouth? 2 can anybody sing with the right teaching and practice assuming they have undamaged vocal chords and can breath normally? Many thanks for your analysis and comments they are helping me to understand.

[@craigedwards6181]

With Halloween, right around the corner, I have a request.... Korn "Daddy" I must warn you it's a hard song to listen to the song but would love to hear your take on it.

[@Deb-ex9st]

Elizabeth I'm recommending that you listen to the beginning of Bill Mars podcast with Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates. He talks about the vocal track and with the top throat doctor said about it, I found it very interesting
