OH MY GOSH this made me so emotional! I’m in love with this medley! What is your favorite song from this medley?

[@denisea871]

Each song is special. All them bring out the best of the song they are singing. How can you choose? They are all wonderful! :) One of their songs highlights some of the men in the group - it's Disney Show Stoppers. It's really good too. I'm enjoying your reactions. I'm looking forward to more!

[@primemover1416]

Five words for ya, DM: O Come All Ye Faithful.

[@nosbig98]

I am pretty sure Kate goes higher in the Disney Love Medley, in case you are ready for it... ;-)

[@nosbig98]

@@primemover1416 Yeah, a masterclass from E.J. I also love to listen to their mashup Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame.

[@nosbig98]

Your soprano is Kate Lott. She, and several of the group, sing in Voices of Liberty at EPCOT in Florida.

[@bradleyroberts0575]

So glad you love our Voctave family so much! Watching you discover us made me so happy!! Jamey’s arrangements are magic as are all these voices. I’m the luckiest as I get to help shape things as their Music Director. It’s a special group and team! So glad you are digging what we are doing!!! Thanks for the support and love

[@ronallen6578]

I had tickets for months for your show in Dayton last Dec. '23. How do you get sick the day before and miss this?? I managed to do it. I'm hoping Voctave will return to Victoria Theater in '24. You guys are beyond description. 😊😊

[@vmsilverknight4661]

Voctave is in a class all their own ... ALL their arrangements are incredible ... O' Come All Ye Faithful will impress you ... C.J. is the soloist

[@bflandragon90]

Omg yes. Amazing #subscriptionsquad

[@bethelliot7140]

Yes!

[@charliecampbell6851]

EJ is his name

[@ashleyj97]

EJ Cardona

[@sethbender2863]

Omg yes so amazing.

[@bigragu6828]

Kate Lott is the soprano blowing your mind. Jamey Ray (gentleman next to Tony conducting) is the genius arranger for all Voctave songs. you will NOT be disappointed with whichever song of theirs you react to. "someday" and "baby mine" are my personal favs of theirs. (if you really want to get emotional. #subscriptionsquad

[@rickieodem488]

Hearing Kate in person at Epcot was a magical experience. Most of the Voctave members perform in the Voices of Liberty group and it is a life-changing event to hear them perform! Loved your reaction and appreciation of this perfect Disney Princess moment!

[@rachelhurst3224]

"Someone Like You" and "Mary Did You Know" are my two favorites. Kate is a coloratura soprano and glides up to those F's above high C with ease. Her control/release is phenomenal.

[@chrissherrill49]

Kate Lott's range and control are on display in "Someone Like You". Very near the end she is soloing on a note that is so high, but so, so delicate - it's amazing.

[@Mieknara]

Part of your world is so spot on. But the best moment is that cut after "yet". Great Movie Medley, Prince of Egypt. Even the Star Spangled Banner. Poor Unfortunate Souls which has our favorite collab partner Rachel Potter. O Come All Ye Faithful...get ready for that one.

[@whynot5698]

Prince of Egypt!!!

[@corvus1374]

They sang Mary Did You Know? with the writer of the song. It's beautiful. The soprano is Kate Lott.

[@grege5592]

That soprano is Kate Lott!! She is incredible as you are now finding out!! I highly recommend the Great Movie Medley next!! It shows all of Kate’s greatness!!

[@theloneranger8725]

I'm not sure that even incredible is good enough to describe Kate Lott's soprano ability. I'm also not sure just how high she can go with her range. She's already around Jupiter's moons and still going. This cover is my favorite medley of theirs, but I also love their "Moon River" performance. If you haven't seen it, check it out.

[@vladislav44]

The beauty and talent of the singers of Voctave, coupled with the genius of Jamey Ray's arrangements. It really doesn't get much better. And the soprano one is Kate Lott. I'm sure it won't be long till your new obsession has you memorizing all their names though!

[@AviatorDT]

The soprano you love is Kate Lott. :) I've been waiting for you to review this one being the Disney Princess geek you are! About time ma'am! Also, take note of how they managed to have 11 people match their vibratos perfectly on the very last note. Amazing

[@joshhaas7240]

Welcome to Voctave : ) Great reaction! So hard to pick a favorite from this one ... I think I'd have to go with Colors of the Wind, Chrystal's voice is just so rich. And the first Soprano is Kate Lott; she is ridiculous XD The one who does their arranging is Jamey Ray, he's singing second from the left. Pardon me while I pull up my notes (shuffles papers nervously) My Personal Favorites: Someday; Prince of Egypt Medley; Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame; Christmas Waltzes Some suggestions for songs by topic/singers depending on what you're looking for: Men: Disney Showstoppers Bass: You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch Male Solo (EJ): O Come, All Ye Faithful Female Solo (Tiffany): The Impossible Dream; O Holy Night Female Solo (Kate): I Wonder as I Wander (one of three songs in a medley) Harmonies: Someday; Prince of Egypt Medley; Pure Imagination Collab with Kirstin from PTX: Show Yourself Most Popular: The Great Movie Medley; Mary Did You Know; Disney Love Medley

[@keybored1981]

For a bonus Disney princess song, "How Far I'll Go" (from Moana). What really put Voctave on the map is the "Disney Love Medley" with Kirstin Maldonado (Pentatonix) and Jeremy Michael Lewis is nice (30 million views). For male soloists, check out Someone Like You from Jekyll and Hyde (with Jody McBrayer) or O Come All Ye Faithful.

[@johndarknight4419]

Absolutely beautiful! Each voice, each harmony, each song. What an outstanding arrangement!

[@garyhanshaw1970]

The women shine in this video. You really need to hear the men shine in the Cinderella medley or the Prince of Egypt medley! Voctave never disappoints! #SubsciptionSquad

[@jnewton1119]

I would love to see your reaction to Voctave's "Mary, Did You Know." The guest vocalist is Mark Lowry, who wrote the song. Kate Lott's vocal control at the end of the song will make you gasp.

[@georgeallan1300]

"This is my favorite!"..."This is my favorite!" Danielle has turned into a child again. Great reaction.

[@georgefry5334]

I just love it when someone falls in love with Voctave like I have. Not that I need my opinion validated, but to experince your pure joy of being memerized and uplifted by musical excellence is so wonderful. It's not Christmas yet but you must listen to their rendition of "Mary did you know" Featuring Mark Lowry the writer of that song. For a taste of what the guys can do listen to the "Disney showstopper medley". Also "You will be found" which features a thousand voice virtual choir as back up. But everything they do is amazing so you can't really go wrong no matter what you choose. The man doing their arrangements is Jayme Ray and he sings in the group also.

[@neerajemanuel7771]

She's already reacted to you will be found!!

[@BethBArtz]

This is my intro to Voctave, and wow! It's also my intro to you, Danielle. I so enjoyed the way you explain what was sending you back to 7 years old. You're adorable (I'm old, so I can say that.) lol. I'm so impressed with Voctave. Master Class, for sure. #subscriptionsquad

[@fabiom65]

Love to see someone that understands music listening to voctave. Regular people enjoy it, people who understand whats being done usually freak out just like you did, for how perfect they are… they are just ridiculous (in the best way possible). Their performances on Disney love medley, o came all ye faithfull, disney showstoppers and mary did you know are a must listen

[@TheCoachTom]

You were like a car lover test driving a Lamborghini. Voctave is awesome From one Disney geek to another... fantastic job!

[@siegfriedherrmann6212]

of ALL of your reactions that i've had the privilege of watching and listening to....THIS.....IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE!! Thank you Danielle....so much for this marvelous full hearted emotion filled reaction to this Masterpiece by Voctive!! You are always such a joy to watch! Your passion, your indepth knowledge of so many topics when it comes to music......your sense of humor and funloving attitude ..topped off by your demonstrable inner and outer beauty...make every one of your reaction vids are pure joy to watch and listen to!!

[@ronallen6578]

I've watched your pure reaction here 20 times. Sometimes you don't have to tear something apart, but just simply enjoy it and nothing more.

[@oldguydoesstuff120]

When you go back to listen to this again, pay attention near the end of "Reflection" just before Kate his her high note - the second one. Their tuning is so good that you can hear a ring tone of the note Kate is headed to before she gets there. Just incredible to get 11 people with such good intonation.

[@apuuc]

Danielle I just found your channel and I'm 7 min in and I'm already so moved by your reaction. I live in a household where none of my family really feels or understands my love and passion for music. I don't play any instrument but I have a smidge above average singing voice. I can sing well enough to be in a small vocal group because I blend well with others or a section leader in a choir but not as a soloist. Seeing you react and notice things that I see and hear as well makes me feel that I'm not alone. That others are moved to the very core of their souls as I am when they are moved by a small pause or precise placement of tone in a song. I guess I'd say Thank you for loving music and sharing your thoughts with us.

[@671mma]

i was just thinking about how it would be awesome if you reacted to Voctave, but the medley where Kirsten from pentatonix sang in. Then I saw this. was super happy to see it =)

[@pastorlyndon]

Danielle, I haven't watched your channel in many months and came back on this video and was reminded why you're so amazing. Your love of this music is absolutely infectious.

[@daniellemariesings]

I appreciate this so much! Welcome back!

[@abbylagorra9910]

WOW thank u so much.. at last u have reacted to them.. since its BER months.. we Filipinos celebrate Christmas as early as September.. why dont you react to thier "Oh come all ye faithful" its a top notch! we're excited to see how you react to thier super tenor

[@arthurpohlman2782]

I'm no singer but have some musical experience as a brass band musician, and my disbelief at this group's professional abilities is mind blowing. Such a powerful performance from the singer's as well as an absolute gorgeous arrangement. Kudos Voctave and thx for a superb reaction video. Cheers Arthur.

[@michaellegacy477]

Voctave is life. Tiffany Colburn the 2nd soprano, and personally my favorite is a super soprano in her own right. Please react to her O Holy Night solo and be ready for her last note. Her Impossible Dream solo is great also but not as high as Holy Night. Impossible Dream showcases her amazing breath control.

[@Chrisdalm]

A year later and still gives me chills!

[@roelcruz7586]

Voctave is the ish! They do great Christmas songs too. Check out Mary Did You Know ft. Mark Lowry. Thanks coach D!🤙🏽 you rock 🤟🏽

[@scottsacala]

So I’m on my every-now-and-then Voctave reaction binge, and the first thing I noticed when you spoke, is that you sound like a Disney Princess yourself! 💚 It’s always nice finding new channels with great content. As a vocalist myself, I love it. You got yourself a new subscriber!

[@jemportal4166]

I learned a lot in this video, and btw, you seem like the sweetest person in the world!

[@ronallen6578]

Hi Danielle, This is the 1st time I'm seen 1 of your videos. Your honest reaction was a sight to gehold. I could watch you simply turn into a little 7 y.o. girl seeing her 1st Disney movie and falling in love with it. Your reaction truly had me shedding tears. I have recently found Voctave as well and I simply love them. To my chagrin I recently found out they had sung in Dayton, OH last month and I didn't know of them at the time--I'm sick about it. A few of there songs I really enjoy are Moon River, Impossible Dream, O Holy Night to mention a few. I will be watching your videos and I have 2 artists you may or may not know of. First is David Phelps. OMG, the voice on this classically trained man is mind numbing. He has a rendition of OHOLY Night you MUST listen to. The next is Lucy Thomas. I believe she is 17 and is from Great Britain. Talented beyond her age, beautiful and genuine. She actually sings like an angel. Sometimes her little sister, Martha, joins her in duets. She is headed towards superstar status I hope. Please take a moment and listen to both. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! Ron from OH

[@Kiranalongwind]

That ending gets me every time, so you aren't the only one who loves the ending. #subscriptionsquad

[@jessneonbayud]

i love the reflection so much😍

[@Gameorama91]

I just recently heard their 90s Disney Cartoon medley, it was really good! Highly suggest a reaction to that!

[@brianjames2697]

this group is truly amazing and I LOVE your honest, emotional reaction to how epic they are! Two others you should check out...even if it just for your own listening pleasure, are "Great Movie Medley" & "Disney Love Medley"...they also do a killer "You Will Be Found". Love your content, keep it a comin!

[@wendyproctor3525]

I know some of these folks and not only are they talented, they are wonderful, humble people. Jamey Ray is an amazing arranger.

[@CgGoil]

Voctave is perfection. I dont know how many times i have heard this, and many of their other songs, but i get teary almost every time.

[@Rayhaku808]

I've never seen someone freak out so much I love this

[@imuawarriors]

my favorite Voctave performance is their 'Impossible Dream'... they also do it with the DCI group, Carolina Crown. so powerful.

[@ChrisKing25]

When she says "wind" at the end of Colors Of The Wind literally sounds like the wind just blew the note away... the softness of her voice was amazing!

[@kimberlybrower925]

I have watched a ton of reactions to this video and yours was my favorite! You pointed out things that I was hoping others would pull out.

[@ltkauffee]

Watching you watch this was all I had hoped it would be! Huge emotional release... LOVE it!

[@mrL9122]

There's something very special about the women who sing in this group. They get the special ring heard more frequently in male ensembles. The arranger understands barber shop harmonies, but also the art of using voices as instruments within the arrangement. Bravo to the men in this group, your voices make these women sparkle even more.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Aww only two videos in this playlist?! *GIRL* !!! You are behind and need to add more lol.

[@Chrisdalm]

Danielle, your reaction to this video is exactly how I feel. Jamie Ray does the arrangements and is genius with the vocal production. These are all Disney singers and this production is the best I have seen.

[@robertorossi7695]

when I see your reactions ..... I see a little girl who enters Disneyland for the first time ...... with that smile and that astonished look and as if I were eternally happy with what you listen to.

[@jimwilson7528]

You can do 2 of their short songs in one video.. Stampede from Lion King...mind blowing..Voice Play, Pentatonix and most others couldn't do what they do, without all doing multiple parts layered in the studio. Over The Rainbow, will bring a tear to your eye with it's pure beauty!

[@super_siri]

When you are singing that high you literally CAN'T enunciate as much as you'd like to. You can't stop the air flow to get the diction in without losing the breath support you need to sustain the note. When I was in choir in college, my teacher used to tell the sopranos to go to an ah or ooh when we would go up that high, and the diction came from the rest of the group.

[@JamesDavis-qg4jl]

I just love Voctave. Every time they sing I am overcome by waves of chills.

[@dlwbjw]

Voctave was founded from Barbershop harmony. Several of them compete in both male and female international Barbershop quartet contest.

[@pcpyro9104]

I was lucky enough to see them live for a Christmas concert. They are even more amazing live. Love, love them.

[@bladerunner752]

Once upon a dream is a waltz after all so the swaying feel to their singing is perfect.

[@Secrets17x]

Super underrated reactions. Keep going.

[@aidensanderson1058]

Im not sure if you have been told, but Voctave also goes by "The Voices of Liberty" from Epcot in The Liberty Pavilion. They are absolutely amazing. I have loved them from the first time I went to Disney World.

[@antoinebrg6299]

Loved your reaction ! Here's some of their best performance: O Come All Ye Faithful Disney Showstoppers Medley Someone Like You Poor Unfortunate Souls Great Movie Medley Beauty and the Beast

[@emmanuelfani5385]

Absolute masterpiece

[@sxbrowns]

Great reaction, Danny. You might want to give their “Impossible Dream” a listen. Tiffany, the soprano 2 solos and gives it her all.

[@daviddavison3970]

This is the best reaction I've ever seen. My favorite was the second song.

[@momof2475]

Everyone in this group worked for disney productions for live shows before forming voctave

[@marcus252phone]

Voctave is amazing 🤩 more plzzzz

[@wendischambach6181]

So you've discovered Jamey and Kate. We'll be coming up on holiday time soon so tuck a couple suggestions in the back of your mind to react to then: "Mary, Did You Know?" (for Kate-her last note is epic and has probably the most effortless talent I've ever heard in a soprano), "This Is My Wish/Let There Be Peace on Earth" (for the alto ?I think her name is Sarah? and CJ), and "O Come, All Ye Faithful" (for CJ). But another couple suggestions for now would include their versions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "The Great Movie Medley." P.S. And you don't even miss a beatboxer in this group, do you?

[@doorran]

Voctave did a Disney Princess Love Medley with Kristen of PTX and Jeremy, also an acapalla singer who was engaged to Kristen at the time. It was pretty good. "Disney Love Medley (feat. Kirstin Maldonado & Jeremy Michael Lewis)"

[@scotte3812]

You should check out Disney love Medley. I think you’ll love it.

[@larocquegroupprivatewealth1267]

When are you reacting to the Disney Love Medley by Voctave?! Head to toe chills

[@dbarnett1058]

Ok, came across your channel last night and watched several of your videos. Generally I am not a video commenter, but I love the genuine joy you express at what you hear, especially in this video. Voctave and Home Free are two of the best a capella groups out there. If you haven't yet, watch Voctave perform Mary Did You Know featuring Mark Lowry (the author of the lyrics and phenomenal baritone). And their Disney Show Stoppers Medley. Coincidentally, many (most) of the current and former members of Voctave actually perform at Disney Parks (WDW).

[@gregdobbin4509]

Love Your Reaction!!❤️❤️

[@chicagoblair]

I’m surprised you haven’t done a deeper dive into Voctave yet, nor any Pentatonix either. You’ve got lots to react to right there. Love your honest, genuine reaction.

[@bigdudetalldude]

You need to do Voctave's cover of A million dreams from the greatest showman. They have that giant choir behind them in that one.

[@pibaron74]

Hello Danielle, A bit of information you were asking about in this video. So the 2nd guy from the left Jamey Ray next to the guy who is conducting is the person who started the group and does all the arrangements for the group. He is super talented. In order of solos: 1. Kate Lott (awesome first soprano) her high notes are flawless and exhilarating- Once upon a Dream, 2. Tiffany Coburn - Some day my prince will come 3. Sarah Whittemore - Part of your World, 4. Ashley Espinoza - Reflection (Mulan) and 5. Chrystal Johnson - Colors of the Wind. If you want to know anything else please ask.

[@dorkyvonmunchmunch9912]

This was my introduction to Voctave about 3 years ago. I was hooked from the beginning. So excited to be seeing them live in a month as I hear they are just as good live. As others have said, Kate Lott is the Soprano1. Jamey Ray is the AMAZING genius who arranges all their songs. He arranges them for each member's voice rather than by a simple SATBB arrangement. In several songs, you will get 11 part harmony which seems like it would be too much. It's not. My recommendations: "Someday", "How Far I'll Go", "The Impossible Dream", "Prince of Egypt Medley", "Pure Imagination" (no video on those last two though- just audio), "Moon River", "Over the Rainbow" and "Great Movie Medley". Come Christmas time...just throw a dart to choose. They are all amazing. "Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame", "O Holy Night", "This Is My Wish/Let There Be Peace on Earth", and my two favorites "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Mary Did You Know". Happy Voctaving! #subscriptionsquad

[@bramos488]

Not sure if you're familiar with the animated film "The prince of Egypt" but their medley cover for that film is so good its ridiculous, please reach to that one. You will not be disappointed!

[@charfree6888]

6:46 The way you shifted on your seat Coach, I just know you're anxious to know if the singer chose "bahrn" or "burrrrn" 😂 Me too✋

[@anthonypanepinto9685]

Christmas is coming, Listen to Voctave featuring "Mark Lowary" doing "Mary Did You Know" Mark is the person who wrote the words to this song. His friend wrote the music back in 1985.

[@EarlJohnRadam]

I also love Voctove❤️

[@PatrickSennett]

Holy Moley indeed. Enjoyable reax .

[@theironherder]

I've said this before, but I can't be guilty (or, per Monty Python, guilcup) of plagiarizing when I repeat my own words. When I 1st started watching reactions on YT, I expected to enjoy the music & to learn from the reactors. What was a total surprise was how much I enjoy & relish the enthusiasm & contagious joy of the reactors. Their smiles & laughter & chair dancing make me very happy, & for days at a time. And you, dear Danielle, have a smile that I love seeing. And your laughter and enthusiasm. I haven't seen you chair dance yet, but I can hope.

[@MJ811125]

My Voctave faves are Prince of Egypt (audio only), Disney Love Medley, Poor Unfortunate Souls/I Put A Spell on You, & Someone Like You.

[@mathowle1109]

answer to 6:03. I think they are all current or former members of "Voices of Liberty" at Disney World EPCOT Center.

[@Finis08]

Check out the Disney Love medley they did with Kirstin from Pentatonix and Jeremy Michael.

[@brettham9571]

You have to listen to Voctave singing Mary Did You Know with Mark Lowry!

[@Dcabacs16]

Because it's BER month and christmas is near. React to Voctave singing O Come, All ye faithful. Thanks love all your videos 🥰

[@EmmaChihuahua81]

Prince of Egypt will make you weep it is soooooo good!

[@douglassmith4969]

I really enjoyed your emotional reaction to Voctave. They're pretty good, huh!?! Actually, they're incredible. Jamey Ray, second from the left in this production, is their genius arranger. In an interview, he explained that he does not arrange for sopranos, altos, tenors, baritones, and basses in general, but instead specifically arranges for each and every individual member of Voctave. That's why you have 7, 8, 9-part harmonies. The soprano you like is Kate Lott. If you want a real exhibition of Kate's talent and control, give a listen to Voctave's "O Come O Come Emanuel/The First Noel/I Wonder as I Wander" medley. Now that you've heard each of the female members of Voctave, check out their "Disney Showstoppers" which features several of the men. And for something different, I think that you'd really enjoy Voctave's version of "Mary, Did You Know" which features Mark Lowry, the song's lyricist. You really can't go wrong with any they do!!! Right now, we are enjoying a renaissance in a cappella spearheaded by four groups, Voctave, Pentatonix, Home Free and VoicePlay, each one fantastic in their own way. I look forward to many more of your reactions to these groups. Laissez les bontemps roulez!!!

[@86sportyguy1]

The guy that was directing writes all of their arrangements. You should watch Mary did you know feat. Mark Lowery. It will take your breath away.

[@droid8472]

You should react to their version of Mary did you know with the original writer, and oh come all ye faithful

[@YuriGVlogs]

I like their Disney love medley with kristin maldonado and jeremy lewis. It showcases how great vocals they have

Great reaction

[@nairbyelworc6652]

As one person stated below that Voctive is in a class all their own. Even comparing them to Home Free or PTX who are true to their style and arrangements. Still James Ray, who does all of their arrangements, and Tony conducting sets them apart. Great reaction.
