I really wanted to be negative this time, but the theatre kids of a cappella simply nailed this one again.
‪@Thevoiceplay‬ are simply unbeatable at this!
This version is so incredible that I don't even have words right now.
I believe my reaction speaks for itself and hopefully you'll also enjoy my occasional nerdy musical analysis.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

The songwriter gave Voiceplay a ten out of ten raised alehorns for their version. I call that high praise.

[@ThouShaltNot]

This is definitely one of their most popular songs for a reason! And adding the rap was pure genius, it just elevated it in such a cool way. Can't wait for more VP! I'm still just gonna keep suggesting the medleys dude, Queen, Boy Bands, Disney, all of em are amazing

[@alisonmiller4636]

Boy bands in 5 minutes is so much fun

[@DarciKat256]

Queen in 5 is what I use to turn people into VoicePlay fans 😜

[@RWHansen]

You know you are doing something right when the orginal composer, Miracle of Sound, posts a comment on your cover: "Well done, lads. Definitely one of the more creative covers I've heard! I rate it ten raised alehorns out of ten" You haven't really reacted to one of their more soulful covers yet. I recommend either Creep by Radiohead or I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raite.

[@DravenGal]

Yes, both great ones to watch! Creep is in my top five VP vids.

[@patriciawitherspoon7207]

You haven't seen Geoff's solo stuff yet, have you? Yet another glorious rabbithole !

[@alyssadaniels7841]

It’ll be really hard to find a VoicePlay cover you won’t like, I think! They are consistently awesome, masters at their craft!

[@bobharp3492]

In most cases they get better and better even when you think they can't lol

[@acorrado5529]

Loved your reaction- thanks! I think you would really enjoy "Hoist The Colours".

[@alisonmiller4636]

I really do not think it will disappoint, but the start of them being "theater kids of accapella" Phantom of the Opera. Lineup is very different as many, many years old by now.

[@Traci2000]

This one had me ready to march off to war!! It gets me so pumped! It's top 5 VoicePlay for me. If you haven't watched "7 Nation Army" yet, I'd recommend that one for sure. It's a banger! Also, if you want a more Southern gospel feel with this group, check out "Daddy Sang Bass." It's an older one from when Earl was still with the group but it definitely has that feel to it. ❤

[@ilonadever8249]

Unlocking new flavors.... perfect description for this one!! I was just looking through the entire catalogue of their work. There is nothing I don't like. Uh Oh, double negative. Oh well, nothing makes me go "meh". There are many that I don't go back and listen to over and over. Not because they aren't wonderful, but because they don't grab me. And, no, I won't give you an example. Find one yourself, and make it funky!

[@chlistens7742]

if you want to see them in something challenging but fun,,, try :in the hall of the mountain king:

[@FLNatureGuy]

Absolutely... A Masterpiece

[@lilasullivan3538]

LOVE seeing your joy at VoixePlay’s sounds. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and expertise show.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

Yes, the VoicePlay twist on things is always a treat. Watch for their dub step influences that are a little gem they put into some of their arrangements.

[@Shadow_Person11]

I look forward to following you on your quest to finding a song you aren't that impressed with... and I have 0 intention of helping you with that. 😂

[@thisismetoday7423]

They have sooo many flavors 😅❤

[@johndeeregreen4592]

With VoicePlay, they are noted (pun intended) for using a dominate 7th chord with Mixolydian riffing under it over where it was supposed to be minor. It just gives it a lot of oomph and modal ambiguity for a measure or so.... that way, you really cannot tell exactly where it's going to resolve.

[@mikkifullerton]

Oooo I'd love to hear that, could you point out a couple examples?

[@johndeeregreen4592]

@@mikkifullerton, "Nothing Else Matters" is a good example. Instead of using an A minor chord, they use an A dominant. In "Hall of the Mountain King" Geoff does something similar, but with a twist. It's supposed to be a minor chord, but he does a Jazz run in Dorian toward the end of the song. These are techniques normally only Jazz musicians are familiar with... Geoff and Layne are VERY knowledgeable on using modes and chord substitutions.

[@mikkifullerton]

@@johndeeregreen4592 Thanks for the examples I'll check them out after work. And I agree their musicianship is amazing, that's why I support them!

[@karenponchak5304]

Fyi - the original is actually not the Peyton Parrish one - there's one that's purely by Miracle of Sound. That is the one i listened to.

[@SunnyOutlook]

Watching your reactions certainly brightens my day. As others I'm sure have mentioned, you may be hard pressed to find a song you won't be impressed with. Geoff has his own channel doing low bass covers. You might want to take a listen to some of his solo stuff as well.

[@LokificentsLair]

The infamous Geoff B0

[@lkayh]

OK, I don’t think you’ll dislike this one, but how about trying “in The Hall of the Mountain King?” It’s VERY VERY different from this. Have fun!! Great reaction-and I’m sure someone’s already mentioned it but Gavin Dunne (@miracleofsound) gave this ten out of ten alehorns, even tho this is entirely different from his original conception. Oh, and if you want to encounter truly rabid, he’s the greatest singer ever to open his mouth, kind of fans, check out Dimash. Put on your asbestos underwear, though, if you intend to say anything that even sounds critical. The “dears” (his fans) will wash your mouth out. LOL.

[@katthor7311]

Faana: I listened to the original. I'm ready. I feel like I know what VP is going to do. Me: 👀 ......you're not ready Excellent reaction as always, sir. VP, really Geoff, will sometimes add a bridge with new lyrics to a song if they feel like they want to add some run time or interest....or ya know....sometimes they'll add a full rap section. 😆

[@FaanaMusic]

Yeah I definitely wasn't ready for the rap bit, haha

[@rdy3357]

Try Hoist the Colours, but do it as a double reaction with Drunken Sailor. Hoist the Colours is so emotionally intense that you need the joyous comedy of Drunken Sailor, and make sure you watch Drunken Sailort o the end.

[@DravenGal]

Ah, my very favorite! Voiceplay played a little trick on their fans with this video. See, during Covid, a lot of artists, especially Home Free, were doing videos where they appeared to be together, but weren't, they were all in different places and filmed and edited seamlessly together. Voiceplay did that in their cover of "Enemy," where they were performing "with" a lovely, talented young lady named Alexa. She was actually in Japan, and they green screened her in to make it look like they were together. And this came out not terribly long after J. None. left for the Naval Choir. At the beginning of this, J. None is on his own, so everybody assumed he was filming his part separately, and edited in. But THEN, he approached the door and with a squeaky door sound effect (done by Layne), and walks in and joins the group! The comments were pretty funny, many people saying "I thought J. None was elsewhere!" It was a real "Gotcha!" moment.

[@user-pk9zw8zb7b]

Your face is your best reaction. As every one of us, we can see you've really enjoyed this one !

[@Aurora-cv5to]

Here's one of their older ones you may not like as well. Try their cover of Once Upon a Dream. It's pretty short, but does need to be listened to straight through. Breaking it up spoils what integrity it has, so if you want to try it, do give it that grace.

[@AynoTaicho]

I challenge you to listen to Can't Make You Love Me by Voiceplay! It made me tear up, so emotional. Might be the change in persepective on them that you might find interesting.

[@FaanaMusic]

Thank you!

[@chlistens7742]

ok i think you should try the voiceplay loop it will show you some behind the scene how they do it

[@bjspeck4337]

Geoff has 3 B0s, the first really extended 14 sec. while J was singing the intro. Miracle of Sound thought VoicePlay's version was the best cover anyone has done. Love Layne's creaking door. We're Good was the song Geoff and Ron Dietz collaborated to introduce Cesar. Hoist the Colours (Pirates of the Caribbean), I Can't Make You Love Me (Bonnie Raitt), Queen in 5 Minutes, Live from the Sing-off Tour: VoicePlay doing their Road Trip (do get the one that is 9 Mil plus.

[@annamattaar]

For a more emotional/soulful song, try I Can't Make You Love me, or Creep! Probably won't help you with your goal, though, as those are equally amazing 😉

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Just letting you know... Geoff Castellucci premiered his new video "Unshaken" today at noon est. He brought back the 4 ghost riders from "Ghost Riders In the Sky" when they were alive. It is beautiful and epic.

[@FaanaMusic]

Thank you, I'll look into it!

[@jackyfriedman1963]

@@FaanaMusic You're very welcome 🤗

[@LokificentsLair]

Now we need Geoff's solo wicked games... you should also check out Dan vasc doing my heart will go on (the guitarist is INSANE) or amazing grace

[@karinwolf9639]

Waiting for many more VP reactions on your search for the "meh"-one... they ARE wizards of musical arrangements and truly ingenious in making songs their own. Go for it! I really don't think you will find a bad one... 😂🎉❤ superfine reaction btw. Love it when a reactor goes for the original first... 😊

[@karingreen396]

As always, this was so fun. There are songs that I am less fond of but I doubt that you’ll find one they are bad at…

[@FaanaMusic]

It's going to be tough, but I'll dig deep, haha

[@alfredoa334]

Thank you for another great reaction!!!

[@katrinagreely5399]

Have you looked at the song information, in the description box under each video, yet? It will tell you who did the arrangement (usually Geoff or Layne), who did the lighting (usually Eli), etc.

[@user-rq5qs5zn4r]

Check out their version of Creep

[@loismccray5455]

Geoffs sustained B0 at the beginning. I heard Geoff did a bit of light trauma the night before and recorded the next morning.

[@janeteitsworth8824]

Great Reaction

[@FaanaMusic]

Thank you!

[@EmmaYadkin]

I look forward to following you on your journey.😂

[@letheardaw]

Subscribed. I dare you. Watch "Road Trip", "The Chicken Song", or "Hall of the Mountain King" and keep a straight face🤣

[@emreongan]

You should check out Hoist the Colors, Dream On, Black hole Sun, Dragonborn Comes, Creep from Voiceplay.

[@bobharp3492]

You want to feel the rattle check out Geoff castelluchi deep bass cover of, I see fire, from the Hobbit enjoy and yes there all Geoff in costume keep it in mind

[@EtherealForever]

Oooh need to challenge you on 'soulful' stuff! Try "I can't make you love me" (Bonnie Raitt) or "Creep" (Radiohead) from VP... but first more epic stuff 😋. I think VP will accept your challenge! 😉🌹🕊

[@FaanaMusic]

I did Superstition by them and it was great as well! I will find my 'eh' song one day... 😜

[@EtherealForever]

@@FaanaMusic - they're genre range is so broad you probably will find your 'eh' 😄

[@draclaudiasilva4323]

Waiting for reaction to Oogie boogie song

[@susansouthard]

Your reaction was amazing! Check out Dan Vasc cover of “My Heart Will Go On”

[@aliecat199]

I think you’ll have a difficult time finding a song you don’t particularly like of VP’s. They have been involving so much since their inception back in the 1990’s. Welcome to the fold. 😊

[@christinestromberg4057]

With very few exceptions I always prefer VoicePlay (and Geoff) to the original. The two I have slight quibbles with are purely personal love of the original. I rarely feel that strongly about a style but there it is. And even with those I admire the skill.

[@cmdrglass5096]

Have you checked out any of Geoff's solo work ?

[@FaanaMusic]

Haven't gotten to it yet, but I'm planning it in the future!

[@minamishoujo]

They sound awesome in jazz as well try tennessee whizkey

[@DravenGal]

Good luck finding a "Eh" Voiceplay song. There are a couple I don't like AS much, but none I actively don't like.

[@FaanaMusic]

I'll keep digging, but it's gonna be hard, I admit!

[@DravenGal]

@@FaanaMusic If not impossible. You might try their older stuff. They've come an huge way, and some of the older stuff is less polished, but the charm is still there, I believe.

[@vogel2280]

Sooo...no Nightwish on your channel? Something went wrong here ;-) The most versatile singer in the world and maybe even the best and then we have Tuomas (the Metal-Mozart) creating that music. Ghost Love Score (Live at Wacken Open Air) would be a great place to start that journey. It is the most reacted to song on YT for a good reason.

[@susansouthard]

O MG check out The Bass Gang too.

[@jackchisnall9316]

Try their version of Tennessee Whiskey for something different.

[@margiestevens2384]

I like all of their song except Creep. They did a good job, I just find the song horrible.😂

[@user-li6fc8lw4p]

Why listen to this if you can hear the author of the song himself and perform it the way it should sound?
