No sitting allowed! | Stand By Me (acapella) VoicePlay ft. Mykal Kilgore | Reaction

[@acorrado5529]

Thanks for your reaction! Mykal was one of the original founding member of the quartet they formed when they were in high school called '4theLove'. They would sing in the school's restroom and on the street corners in front of businesses. If you like this format, you would also enjoy Voice Play's cover of "Lion Sleeps Tonight" and the minis/shorts on their channel as those are frequently film at this mall early in the morning before the stores open. Geoff recently released his Christmas video on his solo channel, "Carol Of The Bells", and it is blowing reactors away as it is amazing!

[@MrsRealistic]

Oh shoot! I'm on that one! It's one of my most favorite Christmas songs!

[@loveloochay]

💚💚💚🎄💚💚💚 I was swaying with you Mrs Realistic the whole time. I agree , I would have just been standing in the background the whole time. I think if just one of these gentlemen were singing at a mall , or anywhere, I would be fascinated. All 5 ?.. together ? It is magical 🧞 I thought Eli was superb on this one 🎶🎶🎁🎶🎶

[@MrsRealistic]

I might end up being the annoying fan who was always at the mall 🤣

[@LoriPeace]

I'm so glad you found this and reacted to it! Didn't they do a great job? And the interactions among them as they were singing, the way Caesar looked around at each one of them as he sang "stand by me," -- It's such a beautifully done piece!

[@MrsRealistic]

They seem like wonderful guys! I love how they work together and play off one another!

[@barbarakennedy2667]

I love how Mykal hugs Cesar and Geoff at the end. True longtime friends.

[@LoriPeace]

Just the best! I love it!

[@MrsRealistic]

I did too! They have a true comradery and it shows!

[@vdoyne]

Thanks for your reaction to VoicePlay's November release. As a founding member from their very early days, Mykal was the perfect collaborator for this one. Apparently, they used to sing this one when he was in the group. A lovely song with a beautiful message about true friendship.

[@MrsRealistic]

They all stand by each other 😊👍

[@DravenGal]

This is so pure and sweet and warm and smooth you could pour it on pancakes! And it's always a treat to hear Layne's dear voice! I like the hand transitions too. And this just proves Cesar can rock _any_ clothing! I can't wait to see you react to VoicePlay's and Geoff's Christmas videos! Hope your holiday are going smoothly!♥💚

[@MrsRealistic]

I'm so excited! I can't wait to hear them too!! Happy Christmas to you my friend!

[@DravenGal]

@MrsRealistic And a blessed Yuletide to you and yours! Speaking of, maybe you do a family reaction to them! That would be cool! I really think Phoenix will dig Geoff's! Also, if you never have, make sure to listen to Louis Armstrong's "Zat you, Santa Claus?" before you hear VoicePlay's version. ♥💚

[@MrsRealistic]

Wonderful idea! I'll have to get her in on some!

[@DravenGal]

@MrsRealistic Yay!♥💚

Immediately to the right of the boys is the front door of Pattycake studios. VoicePlay have performed in that spot loads of times and I have also always wondered why they don't have a large audience watching them, yet shoppers walk by as if they don't exist. It must be old hat to them by this stage I suppose. Anyway, it was the second time we saw Mykal and that lad can certainly sing! Thank you for the great reaction: I was looking forward to this one.

[@LoriPeace]

Actually it was the 3rd. He was in their compilation song back in 2020- Just Sing, and then just recently in Be Prepared. Also, have you seen him in this year's Miscast? He did an absolutely spectacular job. You've got to see it! Just search for Miscast 2024 and his name.

[@MrsRealistic]

I would never be tired of seeing them "singing" at the mall. 😄👍

[@hwyla4416]

They also schedule these mall shoots for early in the day when there are less people around.

[@Badger77722]

This mall is where Pattycake Productions is located, and apparently it's got a lot of empty stores these days (COVID did a number on it, I think). And this is also where VP films most of their shorts/minis, so regulars at the mall are probably used to seeing them set up like this. This format was like their minis because Mykal had a plane to catch and was limited on time, and this is a fairly "fast and dirty" way to film a video, something they've done a number of times and know how to do very well. But it was nice to see and hear Layne being able to sing for most of the video, before moving into beatboxing - always a treat to hear him singing these days, since he doesn't do it that often in their videos. BTS tidbit: Mykal, Eli, and Cesar had to stand on crates when they were in the back row, in order to match up in height to Geoff and Layne!

[@MrsRealistic]

🤣 I knew Geoff was pretty tall and Eli was shorter...so that's a funny little piece of info 😄👍

[@ilonadever8249]

This was also recorded before hand. When they are working in the mall I don't know whether they play the recording for everyone to hear, or if they just wear ear pieces. I doubt that they would play it full volume, and there may be gawkers off camera. If I lived in the area, I would hang out at the mall every morning just to try to watch them in production. They film almost all of their shorts/minis at this mall. This was such a sweet rendition!

[@MrsRealistic]

Haha! I would TOTALLY stalk that mall in the hopes of seeing them!

[@EtherealForever]

They usually do their minis in the mall, but they had so little time with Mykal they had to do this one too. Such a beautiful message for the times we are in 🙈. ⚘️🕊

[@hameedelbasyouni4266]

Your smile is sooo gorgeous.. please keep it forever on ur face❤❤❤

[@huldradraco]

sometimes individuals do stop to watch, but they stay in the background and not in view of the camera 😄

[@b.buster.]

Everyone in that mall know them.

[@MrsRealistic]

I've learned that now 😄👍

[@AudioVile]

It took me a to adjust... VoicePlay's "poetic license" sometimes throws me for a temporary loop! Once I was on board, I LOVED it! Great reaction!

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you! Yes, I love hearing the differences in arrangements!

[@SalymSkyeSpellwyck]

Hugs my darlin! TYSM for this reaction! Most people that go to that mall know them. It's not a normal mall with shop after shop. It holds mostly businesses and a few shops sprinkled here and there and then some empty stores. All the Vertical form videos that they record in a "mall" is this same mall.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thanks for the info! Cheers! 😊

[@ChristineCornish-l9z]

Lovely reaction thanks

[@Robert.Sheard]

Happy Holidays to all of the Realistics. 🎉🎊🎁

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you Robert! Same to you!

[@R989D]

If you’d like to hear more from Mykal, let me highly recommend his recent ish performance of “stars and the moon” on the mcc miscast KZbin channel. It’s just sass and angelic vocals for days! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3rTgIhoeceSbc0si=CXD_xBYLAKkL2_vr

[@R989D]

Oh and if you want more Layne singing- “True Colors” and “Heart of Life” he’s sings a lot. We love when Layne sings, his voice is so pure and beautiful and it’s a rarity.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thanks so much! 😁

[@joecoppola3974]
