This is Layne's arrangement. Thinking inside the box. Was so fun watching them building this giant music box set. Rachel as the Swedish Nightengale, then, of course, the shortest person, Eli as the Giant on stilts, Cesar as the Trapeze flyer, Geoff as the Strongman, and of course Layne as the Ringmaster. I think my favorite part is when they all get to do a little beatboxing and Geoffs This is the Greatest Show.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Hahaha both definitely my favourite bits!!!

[@UncleJesterr]

Jennifer got moves love how much you enjoy listening to VP to the point you naturally respond positively nothing forced :)

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Love it hahah!

[@rickieodem488]

Layne was actually the baritone of the group when Scott Porter was their beatboxer. You see him sing occasionally, I remember he had a line in "My Mother Told Me" and another in "Hoist the Colors". I think that Eli and Cesar did really well with their parts, and Rachel is always a pleasure to hear and see!

[@christinestromberg4057]

Layne also does more singing in If I Were a Rich Man/Girl. And has been mentioned, Geoff's Shenandoah is absolutey beautiful. INcidentally, hat "Me" is sung exactly the same way by the original singer.

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

If you want to hear more of Layne singing ( and who doesn’t?) try heart of life or true colours. Eli is so versatile with his voice he always impresses me.❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you! And yes, agree!

[@rickieodem488]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer And Layne actually sang a complete part in the Little Mermaid medley which is awesome by the way.

[@TheStorm123abc]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer also if i were a rich man/girl has layne sing a verse at the start

[@marshayoung9387]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer Geoff can actually beatbox & he taught Layne how to beatbox. Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays cover song The Death Of A Bachelor & you will hear Geoff's beatboxing. It is only Geoff & Earl singing this.

[@carolfranklin]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this they are all superb. I speak as a big Geoff fan I love it when Layne gets to sing! Eli doing his rock God and Cesar & Rachel's theatrical voices and Geoff being Geoff. I love the fact that when Voiceplay do a medley it really is, the songs are all intermeshed in the best way. Geoff also has a solo Shenandoah out now which is beautiful.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Loved it!! Yes love the way they all interlink!

[@lizwildcatmunro2460]

Queen In 5 minutes is another fantastic “Rock Eli” Voiceplay one. True Colours showcases Layne’s beautiful singing

[@candilunsford2878]

VoicePlay just keeps getting better and better. There is a video out featuring Keala Settle that is from the workshop done to get the green light from producers to make this movie. It is a once in a lifetime experience they had. It's well worth the watch. Layne has some things he's done by himself and with his daughters on his Facebook page. Geoff's new solo is so beautiful and tear jerking--he really hits you in the feels with it.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Ah lovely!! 😊

[@lengould9262]

Came for Rachel Potter. Superb.

[@janetdw]

One of the unexpected benefits of being a member of the Patreon community is that they usually also publish the karaoke track. And it’s not what I would think a karaoke track would be but then again I don’t do karaoke. But it’s everybody except the soloist. And it is fascinating to hear the background and you think I don’t know if I like that. But then they put it with the soloist and it is amazing. After watching several reactors like you and a few others especially those who point out the backgrounds, I’ve gone back and listened to as many of the karaoke tracks as I could find and I have a whole new appreciation for what they do. I highly recommend it - the best five dollar a month investment I’ve made in years!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Oh I should do this!!! Then you can hear the ‘backing’ a lot more AND get to sing with them! Sounds like a lot of fun - thank you!

[@randiskye4444]

I totally agree! I love this perk and have started going back and listening to the karaoke tracks. It really helps me to appreciate the complexity of their arrangements I believe, even more so than listening to the fully polished release. I'm glad I'm not the only one (and of course I have to sing along)!

[@capstan50g]

I always love their arrangements. Never Enough is really the song from that show for me. Rachel Potter never disappoints. Thanks for the analysis, Jen!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Such a great arrangement! Thank you 😊

[@jamiejenkins9096]

Surely have to do ‘hoist the colours’ by voiceplay next?

[@tdb2012]

What great fun! Loved this reaction Jen. And you managed to get a laugh out of me a few times during this video. Great job! Voiceplay is so damn talented (as are Voctave, Home Free, Peter Hollens, etc); would really like to see them live one day. Keep 'em coming my friend 😎

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Ah yay! 😂 and yes, same!!

[@par500dragon7]

Also, I checked your video list and didn't see that you'd reacted to VP's Hoist the Colours. And you absolutely should... it is EPIC. It broke several reactors when it came out. Eli basically lives on a C5, Cesar is awesome, and Geoff is... well, Geoff. It's the whole package: lighting, set, costumes and makeup, paired with incredible vocals arranged by Geoff.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Got to be done ahah!

[@AngieCHolland]

Glad you chose this one! I’ve probably watched it a dozen times since they released it and you are correct, you hear something new every time. Amazing. Voiceplay can bring a smile on the worst day!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Oh they definitely can!! I could listen to them all the time ahah! Thanks for watching Angie ☺

[@creationsbychancecan]

This was such a great arrangement by Layne. Love Rachel's voice and Ceasar really got to show more of his range too

[@ericturner7824]

I do love their arrangements.....you can tell they know sound, voices, registers, and how to get what they want from each other, and the songs, plus putting their own 'spin' on it....love your reactions and analysis....>^^

[@KevinPlaysGuitar]

You're not the only one who watched The Greatest Showman once. This guy right here did aka me. 😃It's a great movie! I love the soundtrack there as well. I love how they all have different ranges from high to low in their voices. So incredible!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Ahaha yup! SNAP! So incredible, and the way they all fit so well with each other!

[@veronicathunander4579]

The “mi” ... “may” is actually done in the original, so Rachel chooses to sing it the same way it was sung there 😊 (except in the original the second me was more towards the “may” sound as well, I think?). Really nice that you did this!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Yes very true! Just in general it’s one of those words that always gets modified to ‘may’ and yes, Rachel’s second ‘me’ is more of a ‘me’ 😁

[@jcandrews308]

Another cool one from them is Just sing. Features many artists that they've known through the years. Hint: have captions on - they've put in captions naming everyone and how they're connected. Really cool piece

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Oh that’s sounds amazing - thank you!

[@jcandrews308]

And apparently (someone mentioned it somewhere else) Layne used to be one of the singers before he took over the Beatboxing from Scott Porter (sang with them on the Halo theme song).

[@rickieodem488]

Another vote for "Just Sing" you will be surprised by at least one of the people who shows up, and the song itself is very uplifting!

[@randiskye4444]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer If you get a chance to listen to or react to "Just Sing" pay close attention to the few seconds just before Tim Foust starts, Headphones required. I think that moment is hilarious!!

[@benbristow1218]

First off, Voice Play is fantastic. Not sure you can say more without repeating yourself. Rachel Potter is also equally fantastic. Did you know she did Broadway?

[@par500dragon7]

Really enjoy your reactions and breakdowns! I'd love to see you react to Geoff's recent release of Shenandoah. It's a beautiful old American folk tune, and he does his usual stunning and creative job.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

On the list :)

[@cybergeek11235]

Legitimately - if you reach out to Layne (and/or VP in general), he'd probably be happy to give you a quick lesson. I mean, he had a 90ish minute chat with The Charismatic Voice - worst he can do is say "no", right? :)

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

😱 this would be epic!

[@rickieodem488]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer Both VoicePlay and Home Free as well as Peter Hollens are all very supportive of the reviewer community, especially those reviewers like yourself who give us a deeper appreciation of the creativity and artistry of the perforrmers. I've seen Geoff, Tim, Peter and most of the others replying to reviews over the years, and they are all stand-up guys! Love what you do Jennifer!

[@davecampbell4312]

I'm glad that you were happy to watch this because it made me happy too! But girl! You had me scared! I was afraid that you would not attempt Geoff's low note and that my world would come crashing down on me! My heart would be torn out of me, my eyes would flood with tears and I would be scarred for life. It seemed an eternity but you just had to wait until the end to make me feel OK again. It did hel when you tried the pft,pft, pht though. That made me laugh! Thanks fot another fun facial expression experience especially the frowny faces! Have a great day!

[@rongotwalt4487]

Great reaction Jenn ! Don't really follow this wonderful group ; But they are fabulous acapella quintet ! I listened to Pentatonix quite a bit but these singers are so very good ! I really love their arrangements and vocal harmonies and intervals throughout the song ! It's always changing and keep you really listening and involved in the song ! There is so much going on all the time that there isn't any time to hear their unique vocal inflections and nuances that are happening all the time ! I'm amazed that you can process and breakdown their vocal techniques quickly ! But this is the only way you can do it by listening to each section and breaking down their voices ! Especially when you're listening to five different voices! I personally think this is a fantastic rendition and it's so uplifting and fun to listen to ! Rachel is such a fabulous singer and I love Geoff's ridiculous lows ! I can see why you like to react to them because there is so much to talk about ! Visual I thought the video was so beautifully produced ! I will now go back and look at your other reactions to them they have got my attention for sure ! Can you imagine them in a Broadway musical play performing ! That would be a treat for sure !I just listened to the song complete and uninterrupted and it's a vocal acapella masterpiece ! I can imagine the time and effort needed to produce and to put this performance together ! As always it starts with great voices ! Thanks Jenn as always for the breakdown and reaction as it was so much appreciated ! Keep posting ! 🤗👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Ah thanks for watching! Yes definitely go and watch more VoicePlay, always a lot to look at and listen to! I have to keep rewinding, as you can see 😂 enjoy!

[@ilonadever8249]

Jennifer, always love to watch your reaction and analysis of Voiceplay! Your huge grinning fan girling on one hand and wonderful analysis on the other - excellent!! The me/may bothered me a little - the only downside for me. On the other hand, having five beatboxers was amazing. I think Layne is the only one who would have thought to do that. Thanx again!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thanks for watching! Yes has to mention the me/may - a tiny pet peeve!! 😊

[@leechowning2712]

I seriously would love to hear them do a complete version of any of these songs, although the Greatest Show would be so cool.

[@StooPidasso]

Adam Rupp claims to have learned to beatbox from a VHS tape by Wes Carrol, who performed with the group House Jacks, back in the day.

[@lkayh]

One of the things about that “may/me”-did you notice the guys were also singing “may?” I thought that helped support her choice-but then the last time she goes back to MEEE, so it makes it stand out a bit. Great reaction-I love it when vocal coaches break it down. You should check out their newest-The Dragonborn Comes from Skyrim. It’s great.

Love your review. 🌺 Let's be honest, even if the word is "me", the "ee" sound is not pleasing when it's belted. Forget the "safer place", "ay" just sounds better than "ee". I believe the original by Loren Allred is sung the same way.

[@ciaratorrence4825]

Coolcat8b you are correct. Loren Allred belts me as May in the original Version of the song like Rachel Potter did in this medley
