THESE GUYS PUT ON A PLAY! | Shay Reacts | VoicePlay - OOGIE BOOGIE'S SONG A Cappella Cover REACTION

[@KillerTruffle]

As a response to your comments about not being able to get a sense of their talents because they were playing characters, I'd just have a couple comments. First, singing accurately on pitch as they did while in character voice is actually harder than just singing, so they do still have some talent there too. But watch it again and listen more to what's subtly going on in the background. There are some fantastically difficult vocal arpeggios and other things happening to give the song its foundation that you don't really even notice when you're listening to the primary vocals. Those undertones are not done in character voice, and you can still get a lot of their talent from that.

[@DravenGal]

I agree!

[@Ydnic7481]

I hadn't read your reply until I'd left my own. Pretty much the same, just our own spin on words. He'll come around 😊

[@Equinox5991]

“He has a low voice.....then he gets lower” Me *grabs popcorn*

[@leechowning2712]

Oh... Just... Oh boy...

[@ezrahulsey9833]

Waiting for the end 😂

[@someoneelse4720]

I've watched tons of these reactions and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Lol me too cause I knee he was gonna go much lower😹😹

[@Someone-dv7hw]

​@@someoneelse4720yessss~ that's what we are here for~ this is what we want to see from someone hearing Geoff for the first time😂

[@sc0repio662]

No offense meant, but the song IS from a musical featuring human & non characters, so I am a bit surprised at your distraction at them singing in the character voices; It IS an integral part of the song itself & it's MUCH more difficult & demonstrates considerable vocal talent to sing in character as well. LOL! Yes, Geoff Castellucci's last E1 note is incredibly impressive. Seeing as how it just dropped a few hours ago & you specifically mention you doing it yourself at 01:45, here's a Halloween Treat for all: VoicePlay - Kidnap the Sandy Claws | Nightmare Before Christmas | (Acapella cover) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmm2hYavYrhoi6M

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

Voiceplay JUST released their rendition of Kidnap the Sandy Claws today, ironically, if you wanna check it out, haha

[@joefran2513]

Headless horseman is a must, from the bass Geoff, like a solo one

[@vins1662]

I totally agree

[@KillerTruffle]

Don't worry too much about clashing "fandoms" between PTX, Home Free, and VoicePlay - a whole lot of them like all three groups. There's almost never bad blood between the groups, and there's tons of overlap among the fans.

[@cassandrahepp6445]

There are even overlaps in the groups themselves. Like Homefree having Avi on their "Ring of Fire" cover for example.

[@MagnetMagicGirl]

This is so true!! I honestly want a mashup of all three groups. So much talent in one song??? PLEASE!!!

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Agree. Home Free and Voiceplay were on the 4th season of Sing Off together and became fast friends. Tim Foust taught Geoff Castellucci how to do the super low notes. He even was one of the singers in Voiceplay Just Sing video. Rob Lunquist did the Movie Medley with Voiceplay. There's a video called Voiceplay vs Home Free - Zombies vs Hillbillies. Voiceplay are called the "Theater Kids" because of their theatrics. Most people love them not only for their voice but because of them dressing up. Hence their name Voice Play. The we guys are in Orlando Florida. Before forming the group they all worked in either Disney World or Universal Studios as characters in shows.

[@iancorrigan9758]

To get a feel for each singer, songs like Moana Medley, Frozen Medley, Queen in 5 minutes, and a ton of other songs

[@Lightning-rs7yz]

You should react to Voiceplays “kidnap the santy claws” that they released today

[@sprumf]

I second this-

[@sprumf]

Ah yes, geoff and his subharmonics - that end note was an E1.

[@DougRayPhillips]

Geoff also hits an E1 in his cover arrangement of Paul McCartney's "Blackbird" where he multitracks himself as all the voices.

[@Debs_Badger]

In addition to seconding "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water," I'll throw "Tennessee Whiskey" and "True Colors" in there as well.

[@falseparadox3838]

Watch “Can’t help falling in love” also by voiceplay. In the beginning it’s slow and a bit boring, but it develops into the most beautiful thing you will ever hear!!

[@antimatterexplodes4014]

Luckily for you, Pentaholics tend to also be home fries and voice players! In my humble opinion, the character voices they did shows their talent even more than playing the songs "straight." Their aca top10s are great, queen in 5 minutes, Moana, the little mermaid, are all fantastic. But if you're in the mood for more serious, Geoff Castalucci singing blackbird by the Beatles is the most amazing use of the human voice I've ever witnessed.

[@CrimFerret]

No issue with liking Home Free or Pentatonix as well. A lot of the fans listen to all three. Good music is good music.

[@BrettHondow]

They are singing in character, nothing distracting about that. It's a performance, not a test for vocal range prefection. Appreciate it for what it is. Did you even hear the other cool character voices?

[@Raelzin25]

@@CShayOfficial Can't Help Falling In Love and Queen in 5 Minutes are god ones to check out

[@kris_d]

If you want something that’s still a fun video but really shows off all their voices I’d recommend Boy Bands in 5 minutes, Queen in 5 minutes, or go to one of their more traditional covers like Can’t Help Falling in Love or Bridge of Troubled Water

[@ogeewiz]

Daddy Sang Bass is an often overlooked gem. They do a lot of theatrical songs so singing in character goes along with that. Listen again to the support they give to Geoff in the background of this song. I think you shortchanged them.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Yes it is. In the end you get to see their families. I agree on the medlies. Everyone gets a part so they show everyone talents.

[@louf1025]

I personally loved this one for the theatrics of it (not to mention Geoff’s insane range) and their complex rhythmic harmonies and arpeggios in the background. But VP has so many talents, and they do so much variety from “Can’t help falling in love” which is very straight, to Disney medleys. I’m a big fan of their cover of Imagine Dragons’ “Warriors” and their recent cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition”. They even do some country stuff like “Daddy Sang Bass”. So check them out. Dare I say, I like them more than PTX because of how diverse their music is.

[@louf1025]

@@CShayOfficial thank you. Good reaction though, even though you’re wrong. Lol. Just kidding. Hope you enjoy some of these other recommendations. P.s. just subscribed.

[@sarcasmxkate]

I don't really think their Halloween themed stuff is meant to be emotional 🤔 you may want to check out their covers of Bridge Over Troubled Water and Can't Help Falling in Love for that. They are the most theatrical of the big 3, so they do play around a bit more.

[@darlenecheatham7775]

If you turn on the captions it calls the last note subterranean

[@DougRayPhillips]

A lot of Voiceplay's material (and Geoff's solo material) is covers of stuff where theatrics and costumes add to the effect. But if you want to hear just the group's normal voices, with everyone getting a turn at soloing, check "Can't Help Falling In Love."

[@DarkEmpress86]

To get a better idea of their vocal talents without the character voices, try watching "Can't Help Falling in Love," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Boy Bands in 5 Minutes," "Queen in 5 Minutes," or "The Little Mermaid Medley" to start 😊 They're more theatrical and whimsical than PTX and Home Free, which is a big part of why I personally love them so much, but they have a serious and emotional side as well. I look forward to seeing more VoicePlay reactions from you in the future, hopefully 🙂 Also, their bass, Geoff Castellucci, has a few solo covers on his channel that are fantastic if you're interested in checking them out.

[@Froggyh63]

Good analysis, but there are lots of others songs that aren't character driven. Yes Geoff Castelluci solo stuff is incredible. The Headless Horseman is perfect for Halloween

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

Yeah, this one is kind of the Geoff show. If you want to see what their tenors can do, check out Hoist the Colours. Alternately, the baritone takes the lead part in Friends on the Other Side.

[@grimgrinningtracy9157]

This was doone to be true to the original, do not make the false assumption that all of their performances are in character, though some are which makes them more talented. Don't confuse their fun and creativity with lack of talent. Lighten up, it is a fun Halloween video, you knew the movie, songs, voices and personalities of the movie characters already, what were you expecting? Did you think Oogie Boogie was somehow going to turn into a romantic love ballad or a prince?

[@tracyz9155]

Yes VoicePlay does several theatrical covers but they are musically so interesting with the syncopated harmonies and other variations. My favorite of theirs is a regular song, though. VoicePlay’s cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Thanks for your reaction

[@dianekerr2403]

Lots of good voiceplay suggestions in these comments, also check out Trapped: Billie Ellish in 3 minutes. Grim Grinning Ghosts is another good one for Halloween.

[@ritathomas5167]

I personally LOVE a capella music - starting when I was a child. I just marvel at how they can sound so full and even do acoustics with just voices! Although I have my favorite such groups, I do love them all - including this one! All of these people are so talented! Another by this group you might like is called something like "Queen in 5 Minutes". I have noticed, like you, that this group doesn't just stand or sit there and sing - they act it out, get in character and generally make it an event! Great reaction! Thanks!

[@dinounit67]

For their more normal voices I’d suggest you check out their version of ”I can’t help falling in love” or their Queen/Billie Eilish medleys

[@marlahudgins7038]

PLEASDE react to ZOMBIES VS HILLBILLIES (VOICEPLAY VS HOME FREE)

[@smallfamily2604]

If you want to assess their vocal talents, then I strongly suggest Cant Help Falling in Love, Warriors, or True Colors!

[@alanward9660]

Welcome to Voiceplay! As much fun as this one is, perhaps it isn’t the best start for a new fan. Check out their Scars to your beautiful All time low mash up to really hear their voices. Also check out their Little Mermaid Medley.

[@coastermaniacs]

hoist the colors they did is amazing

[@wallen308]

Last note was a sub-harmonic E1 😱. Geoff Castalluci did a great rendition of The Headless Horseman which you might enjoy. Voiceplay has heaps that show off all of their vocal talents. I particularly like Warriors cover.

[@papatomthune4924]

Geoff has a 5 octave range and his last note was an E1. He has his own channel as well. He sings "Blackbird" and "Sixteen Tons" neither one will disappoint you! Both would make good "Reactions"! ❤

[@joshuagoldsmith7240]

They did do another cover of the Nightmare Before Christmas. Several actually. One is “This is Halloween” and Another is “Kidnap Mr Sandy Clause”. VoicePlays cover of “Superstition” maybe more of what you like since you didn’t quite enjoy the whole character aspect at least for this one. However I will say they do have a lot of good covers so any of them would be well worth the watch

[@Samuel_Pincel]

"Blackbird" by Geoff pls

[@NuclearMilks]

“It didn’t do much justice with the vocal talent in the group”....I HOPE you’re joking.

[@thomasfarr7934]

This showed their vocal talents than most venues! What they did was much more difficult that just singing...

[@lkreinmiller-author]

VoicePlay just released Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws Recommend if the characters distract you, shut your eyes. 🥸

[@bekahnavarro]

If you haven't seen their new Kidnap the Sandy Klaus video that just came out, watch it immediately. Although theatrics is what they do. If you don't like costumes, makeup, videos where they act things out, you may not like a lot of their stuff. It isn't all like that, but much of it is.

[@christinapolander4025]

Voiceplay came out with a recent video of kidnap sandy Claus. It's amazing

[@leechowning2712]

The three groups are the heart of a new age in music. Home Free is our country, PTX is our pop, and Voiceplay makes much more "voice acting". Voiceplay is always in role, yes. Although I laugh at you "he is low" at the midpoint of his range. He covers 5 octaves.

[@mazcolyer1972]

If you watch more of them and you will get to see there real voices but they are amazing earl has just left he the one with the beard and holds the rat lol pls react to 21 pilots it is a mash up and is brilliant 😁

[@Someone-dv7hw]

5:53 hehe... not hating you, no way, I love when reactors notice that.

If you want to hear their “normal” singing voices and connect to an emotional song you should check out their cover of can’t help falling in love with you

[@bastiaanvanommen8497]

Check out Voiceplay his version of Kidnap the santaclaus. It is the newest :)

[@travisrussell9166]

to see them with just true voices and being themselves, Please take a look at their cover of DADDY SANG BASS. it shows their voces and their familes

[@thomasfarr7934]

Definitely do Geoff Castellucci's (the bass) "solo" stuff. He does all of the parts, all of the harmonies and all of the characters.

[@tracysimmons6963]

final note was E1

[@tiffymcconkey]

The last note is Subharmonic

[@toodlescae]

I like Pentatonix with Avi but I LOVE Home Free and Voice Play.

[@simonmoore7056]

Check out daddy sang bass by voice play and the check out home free they are country and they are amazing and there bass is amazing

[@azitula]

I respect your honesty. I think you would probably enjoyed it if you listened again however just to the background.

[@williamchavez7186]

they do a medley of songs from the Movie Moana and also the Little Mermaid

[@Kick_Time]

Great reaction!!! This video is not always a great first video to react to for this group. This song is more for fans who already know what they can do. If you wanna see a better cover to showcase their actual talent then i would recommend their little mermaid melody

[@aaronmessick9143]

Even the caption says "subterranean"

[@wdisneyw71]

1 point for using cans.

[@dinodasbunce6224]

I was tempted to write a long reply to your comments on this song then decided that I am to old and tired to bother with it. All I will say is that I seldom feel compelled to tell a presenter that they are, in my opinion, so completely clueless in their reaction to a video that I have no choice but to give this reaction video a thumbs down.

[@theaffiliate4208]

Sorry Shay, I'm the opposite. Listening to the singers in a theatrical performance adds to the experience and contexts of the music. If they are just singing... well, I can listen to the CD, LP, cassette, mp3, whatever at home at my leisure. Not the same (that, I will grant you).

[@Ydnic7481]

Be prepared to be surprised. Warriors, Boy Bands In Five Minutes, Tennessee Whiskey... Those really shows their range. We'll see how your reaction are to another. Was a bit disappointed. I got your point. But, it felt like you keyed into that aspect and missed the nuances over all. But, to be fair. This was my first interaction with you. And I've been a fan of them for years. So, I'll be fair and look at your other reactions 😊

[@katherinehite1635]

Ring of Fire by Home Free

[@steby123]

Bass.

[@obe22099]

VoicePlay and Home Free fans fans seem less cult like. It's as if they actually like music and not just idol worshipping. When i see a comment that reads like a pamphlet for Jehovah's Witnesses i know it's time to remove myself from the comment section.

[@kngtrdr_]

Too bad it's not ICP's Boogie Woogie Wu song LOL
