To me, this is absolutely exquisite. It's a miniature, a compressed moment in time. I persist in thinking of Layne's arrangements as being humorous, busy and antic - I forget he's capable of pulling off this level of sensitivity and delicacy. But of course - he took the same exquisite care with True Colors, and that was a few years back. I think you would be stunned by the way they handled Nothing Else Matters. It's masterful. Moving into that type of song while not disappointing the metal fans is a tough assignment - and they did it with flying colors.

Eli (pronounced like Elly) has a fantastic range. You missed Nothing Else Matters which shows his lower range which is just lovely. Cesar did the high note in Dream On and his range is also huge though he doesn't want to know what it is. When they do live shows they make it great for the audience. It's where their humour and just good nature's come through.

Another vote for Nothing Else Matters! This cover was just gorgeous, I like it more than the original. Thanks for the reaction!

[@Traci2000]

You know, I swear they made this one sound like a hug with a warm blanket because we needed it. We all pretty much lost our minds over their "Nothing Else Matters" cover the month before and they were trying to help us cope, lol. That one is fantastic!

[@DavideBaroni]

As many others have already said, you just HAVE to check their version of "Nothing else matters"... Which has been labeled by some others "A Cappellica" 😁.

[@Juilene1965]

I think this is such a beautifully re-imagined version of this song. Love your reaction as always! You have missed SO MUCH AWESOME VOICEPLAY, KEN! DAMMIT! LOL....Check out their cover of Metallica "Nothing Else Matters"! You've also missed tons of Geoff's solo stuff! BTW...Eli is pronounced "Elly" (like Jelly). Another acapella cover I think you would lose your mind over is The Bass Gang "Hooked on a Feeling" featuring Tim Foust. It is brilliant! I don't think you have listened to Voiceplay's "In the Hall of the Mountain King" either...amazing stuff! And your brain will probably come to a screeching halt when you hear Geoff's cover "Ain't No Sunshine" and his Elvis cover of "Way Down". But there is so so so much for you to catch up on!

I’m glad you also noticed how much work they’ve done to raise the bar on their videos-and their voices, honestly. They’ve always been amazing, but beautiful things have been happening.

[@par500dragon7]

So glad to see you do VoicePlay again! They've been killing it this past couple of years, getting better and better.

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

Essentially all of Voiceplay have multioctave ranges 😂 Apparently in the behind the scenes of this video, Eli and Cesar were doing a bass-off too.

[@sharonleath1232]

Wonderful to see you review Voiceplay again, you're one of my favorite reactors. I have a feeling the person who suggested giving them a current look was referring to their amazing cover of Nothing Else Matters. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen, you'll be blown away!

[@b.w.9816]

I was really hoping you were going to do VoicePlay's cover of Nothing Else Matters. It is so beautiful.

[@camilemckitrick8783]

In acappella music the singers strive to blend into one voice. This is also true in chorale singing. Being the consummate professionals that VP are, I'm willing to bet there was no post-production involved to create that smooth, unified blend which makes it even more striking when they allow individual voices to stand out. And don't we just love it!

[@adamrhodes9946]

Yep, you have missed A LOT of Voiceplay covers. I hope you start reacting to them more often. Their Dream On and Nothing Else Matters covers were amazing.

[@Luana6350]

Yes! Voiceplay after a long time - great😍

[@Amandasera]

Ah one thing you should know about voiceplay is that they may be labelled a certain part (bass, baritone etc) but they LOVE leaving their alley to do other parts and just show their amazing ranges.

[@melodiemalone2317]

Great video

[@MiladyMacabre]

Just a clarification: Eli is pronounced Ehl-ee, not Ee-lie. Check out their cover of Nothing Else Matters and Geoff's upcoming release (slated for tomorrow) to really see how they showcase the songs but really make them their own. And yes, their live performances are amazing

[@paulmacdonald1525]

Don't recall the original, but this cover is wonderful. I believe Layne arranged it. I love that you came back to review Voiceplay after a hiatus. Suggest you check out their recent cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters.

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Great R&B vibe going with this one. You gotta check out Geoff's cover of the 1944 Mills Brothers tune " Till Then".

[@karenponchak5304]

Cesar is more baritenor than baritone. He may have a sweet E2, but he can sing a C5 full voice.
