Reaction-Analysis - VoicePlay's cover of "Jingle Bell Rock" as performed in "Mean Girls"

[@thisismetoday7423]

I loved this one so much. Cesar’s facial expressions were hilarious when everything was going wrong he was like stay cute, just stay cute no matter what is happening 😅 You might enjoy reacting to their cover of We’re Good with Adriana. It’s a really great cover but the other very fun thing about it was that was the first time we saw Cesar with VoicePlay… which from what I understand they were auditioning to replace JNone. The next one he was in was Butter and then became a permanent member. The first cover with Cesar as a permanent member was If I Were a Rich Man/Girl. I love seeing the history unfold ❤

The BTS video was hilarious. Tony taught them the choreography from the movie. We patrons of VoicePlay requested this and they let Layne run with it. They couldn't get a cameraman, and yes Tony filmed this on his iPhone. In Geoffs' web chat, he and Kathy mentioned cameramen have all moved to Georgia and Alabama.

I only watch Voiceplay/Geoff reactions tbh but every one you’ve done has got a like from me. Happy New Year from London 🎉

[@davidkreacts]

Thank you so much, and thank you for the super thanks! Very much appreciated. I'm glad you continue to enjoy my work. :-)

[@alexwalker8440]

Layne wanted to follow the scene shot by shot. Mission accomplished, Mr. Grinch, Sir! This was so much fun! Even introducing Eli's newborn son, Asher! 💓

[@katthor7311]

- I'm glad you knew exactly what scene the guys were reenacting. I was surprised how many reactors have never seen this movie. - Oh first one with Adriana, nice. - Speaking of the movie outifits, if you haven't yet, you definitely have to watch the bts for this one.😆 - When Oogie calls Santa "the fat one", Eli looks down at himself like...what? rude. 😂 - Yes, Layne saying helpers like that is hilarious - Yes, Layne waves to himself and kicks a boom box in his own face 😂 - I think Adrian was meant to be in front of the curtain, at least that's how I always saw it, but either way, no she has no idea of the chaos about to ensue. - Yes! You're the first reactor I've watched that mentioned the sleigh bells because that is definitely Layne, not the percussive instrument. - Cyndi was absolutely amazing here. 😁 - I also love that Geoff points his....hand?....in time with the skip 😃 - 🤣Bane Grinch, Sean Connery Grinch Most of your analysis was just me yelling yes at my screen after you made an observation. 😆 I hope you had happy holidays and the new year has been going well for you.

Watch the BTS when you can. The idea was floated that they’d all wear the same dress as Adriana and Cesar tried it on; and looked good in it, but they decided on these costumes instead. Once Geoff got into that Oogie Boogie costume, he was wishing they’d gone with the dresses. That costume was miserable enough to make him wish he was in a mini dress instead. And they copied the dancing scene by scene as best they could; which was really good. You need to check out We’re Good. Cesar’s first with the group and Adrianna is in it too.

[@bjspeck4337]

Adriana has been in You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch, Frozen 2, Good 4 U, We're Good (Cesar was also having his last audition prior to becoming a member of VoicePlay). My favorite is We're Good.

[@sarahborzelli_Castellineicieli]

The VoicePlay guys and their entire families are always good to offer good laughs paired with awesome music! Thanks for your reaction and analysis, David!

[@CapriUni]

One thing I noticed was that they cut to the VoicePlay member in the audience when that person was singing a lead line. I found that really helpful, since the costumes meant you can't really sync face to voice.

[@coletedeux]

Cyndi was the Grinch's mom recording home videa and doing the moves her "son" needed to do, including his bows.

[@karenponchak5304]

Not only did Layne kick the boom box into his own face, he waves to himself at the beginning. 😂 (I really need to finish watching before comment 🤪) As for the sleigh bells, all i remember from his demo is it's an inhale sound.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

So hard to analyze when the antics are stealing the show; feeling your difficulty to the nth degree. I think VoicePlay will land in the goofball hall of fame for this one.

[@christinestromberg4057]

To see more of Adriana check out Frozen 2, We're Good, Good 4 You, and The Grinch. The player was swung on a string, and it was padded on the contact side. :)

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

they had the boombox on a string and they padded it before swinging it at Layne ❤

[@hwyla4416]

They also hollowed it out. Removed the insides to lighten it up.

[@hwyla4416]

I'm surprised you hadn't seen Adrianna yet. For some reason I thought you had done VoicePlay's "Grinch" cover? She's in that one, so perhaps you can do that next year? I think my favorite with her is "Good For You", but she's been in several others as well. It is unbelievable to realize her first video with them was at 15 ("Frozen 2")! One comment I've seen really tickled my brain - The Beatbox is hit by the Boombox. That just seems very meta. And I agree that Asher had an adorable debut! He's so cute! Hope your New Year is especially wonderful!

[@ilonadever8249]

Always enjoy your reactions to Voiceplay's goofball pieces. Most of the silliest are Layne's arrangements, evidenced by ANOTHER body function bit of humor. You missed their version of Drunken Sailor, hysterically funny, arranged by Geoff. You will love it, guaranteed!! Also, We're Good, with Adriana and the first with Cesar, was arranged by Rob Dietz. He arranges a lot of their minis, too.

[@Aurora-cv5to]

Thanks - for this, and all of your reactions in 2023.

[@AutumnRavn]

Your face when you realise that someone may get hit in the face with a radio was hilarious. Love your reaction and analysis.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Adriana Arellano also appears in You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch and she's in Just Sing, singing the lyrics in Spanish. I think she's wonderful.

[@Jennifer_J_C]

Fabulous fun 😀 Thank 😊

[@Starrynightdiner]

With the Chicago concert and Asher’s birth they just didn’t have time for a full production. But i feel this fills in pretty well. ❤❤❤happy holidays David! ❤❤

[@Starrynightdiner]

Oh and Layne did the jingle bells sound for us on a live chat. Amazing!

[@veronicathunander4579]

What a treat, thank you David! This is so much fun! The radio was padded and tied to a rope on a rod and swung into Layne’s face by Tony. I strongly recommend watching the bts for this if you have the time, it’s a great! I wish you a nice ending to this year and Happy New Year!

[@karenponchak5304]

Fishing line 😉

[@veronicathunander4579]

@@karenponchak5304 Yes, fishing line!😁

[@carinarodebak9419]

This is sich an adorable skit. In this instance the BTS is even more funny than the video. I can't but amssociate to Tommy's version of the Grinch he did last year, singing in a Sean Connery voice together with members from Majestica, Chris slaying his verse metal growl.I guess no more. Christmas reaction this year so so hive yourself the pleasure to watch it privately. Elliott Michael Robinson, gorgeous bass voice wrote a Grinch rebuttal song. Not So Mean Grinch, which is hilarious to watch. Heavily recommended.

[@hollyevoy2118]

Love it!

[@Bluebell_uk]

It wasnt a reverse shot. If you are a patreon they show you on the BTS video how they safely hit layne with the cd player

[@Gael4ce]

“Safely” is kinda up for debate, lol. Not sure a piece of packing material counts as OSHA approved padding….😂

[@Bluebell_uk]

@Gael4ce didn't realise my " " marks disappeared 🤣

[@Gael4ce]

@@Bluebell_uk Lol, I’m pretty sure Layne checking his face for damage wasn’t acting on his part. 😆 Also - just caught the UK on your name. OSHA = Office of Safety and Health Administration. They are the federal body that is responsible for workplace safety rules - like ordering companies to require hard hats in construction zones - and they investigate claims of workplace injuries to determine who was responsible.

[@Bluebell_uk]

@Gael4ce thanks for explaining OSHA I presumed it was something relating to health and safety but wasn't certain.

[@Denalicat]

Great reaction and So much fun!
