I used to listen to pentatonix a lot until I came across VOICEPLAY and I was like HOLY CRAP.

[@jacquestrahan8405]

Did you know both were on a competition show called The Sing-off? PTX were previous season's winners and mentored them in one episode. Also, another great a capella group called Home Free was in the same season as these guys.

[@fabianamercedezortiz7631]

Idem!!!!!!

[@Shebeawolf2]

I listened to PTX a long time ago. IMO they became too 'commercialized'. Their music doesn't have the same spirit or evoke your feelings for the song the way they used to. Home Free are really good. I still listen to them. VoicePlay have solely taken over the top spot though. The 'theater guys of a capella' are beyond amazing. They are masters at vocals, arrangements, & production effects.

[@thisismetoday7423]

Same!! 😅

[@sarahprince2412]

​@@Shebeawolf2 Agreed with Pentatonix. I wasn’t really into them to begin with but they had some good songs earlier on in their career. Then Avi left and now they are just generic to me. As you said, very commercial. No feeling. Voiceplay here on the other hand is so much better because they haven’t lost touch. They stay true to themselves with their unique arrangements as well as their cool looks they tend to do in their videos. And they get better and better with each video they do.

[@toodlescae]

J. None whipping out the Louis Armstrong vocals is fire.

[@JoCoyote]

I would have been so disappointed if no one had

[@Shebeawolf2]

J did this before too in the mashup he sang for the Navy's birthday concert. Perfectly placed nod to the man

[@Marina-Gee]

Saw your comment before listening and couldn't wait for it 😅 But then they all did such an amazing job (as always of course 😁) and the video is so much fun with these theater 'kids' having so much fun by doing what they love ❤️‍🔥 😂 I got totally distracted because of all the intricacies 🤩 so I was still a little surprised when J.None did a perfect Louis Armstrong tribute 🥹😍❤️‍🔥 Love all of it 🥰

[@Laura-Bug_the_first]

Definitely!! I was like 😮

[@collinnicholasns]

I did like the nod to Louis Armstrong that was definitely a good touch.

[@SweetCuttlefish-AshleyE]

This feels a little bit like what it would be like if the residents of Halloween town tried to write/perform a Christmas song, so I guess it’s perfectly on brand for Voiceplay 🤣

[@mackenzaytaylorrockingautistic]

THE BEST COMMENT YET!

[@rickdixon4662]

Listen to their rendition of Oogie Boogie Man. Way better than the movie version.

[@caljones]

*snort* THE ACCURACY 🤣

[@lynnenicholson6968]

Was written in 1953 and first recorded version was sung by Satchmo (Louis Armstrong)

[@sarahprince2412]

@@rickdixon4662 I love their rendition of the song. Geoff’s range is out of this world in that song.

[@MorningRose370]

I love how you all look scared or worried...and then there's Eli staring down the camera like "Bring it."

[@jo4309]

yea

[@PiaNurmi-y8v]

Layne was exceptionally good in this arrangement. He kept the momentum and provided "backbone". The solo where he sings and beat boxes was amazing.

[@lisahouston5022]

Literally got chills.

[@aljole683]

J None singing a bass note or two, singing Satchmo, and the rest of the gang doing what they do SO well! This was so much fun!

[@crimson-cloud]

Love that little bit from Layne at 1:50 . wasn't expecting it but he killed it absolutely

[@gabbieblue]

yes! i love a bit of solo beatbox and he worked it beautifully into the arrangement, as always

[@sarahborzelli_Castellineicieli]

THIS is such a VoicePlay tune and video! This is how we know and love you: Imaginative. Ridiculous. Brilliant.

[@kathrynmenzel2615]

J’s Louis Armstrong is scarily good!

[@spellcrashers]

We all know the vocals are spectacular, but can we talk about the camera work? Fantastic!

[@donnaj9964]

And the editing--!!!

[@spellcrashers]

@donnaj9964 💯

[@Nareimooncatt]

I'm trying to figure out how they did it, and I'm thinking they used something like a bullet time rig and green screen to get such seamless transitions. Only saw a little bit of background distortion. I only watched a short bit of it so far, so I could certainly be mistaken.

[@spellcrashers]

@Nareimooncatt could be. Or even a simpler rig, we've seen really good stabilizers with go pro equipment. I'll have to watch it more and dissect, I would love to be able to recreate similar shots.

[@Nareimooncatt]

@@spellcrashers it would at minimum have to be some sort of motorized rig capable of making the exact same camera path.

[@mikkifullerton]

When the Kings of Halloween do a Christmas song should we really be at all surprised this is what happens? Their creativity simply refuses to be contained by a traditional Christmas chord.🤣

[@verniceaure4865]

Geoff really hit it out of the park when he arranged this song. Perfection!

[@mikkifullerton]

@@verniceaure4865 Layne arranged this one, but agreed he hit it out of the park, along with J's performance!

[@verniceaure4865]

​@@mikkifullerton: Wow! I didn't double check before I posted, just assumed. That'll teach me. Thank you for the correction. Layne did an exceptional arrangement and J was the star on top.

[@SydneyFateTraveller]

Love the homage to Louis Armstrong!!

[@karmabl0ck]

I haven’t seen anyone mention it but applause to Ben for the camera pathway being consistent in all the different takes! It makes the swaps so clean and it was one of the first things I noticed (and wondered about)

[@felicitymcdonald24]

He was operating a special robotic camera arm called CineBot that was programmed to the music so it would be the same for each take, but yeah that definitely would take some skills to know how to do that!

[@karmabl0ck]

@ I figured as much once I looked in the description

[@Chaedron1]

That was a spot on impression of ol' Louis Armstrong right there! Good job J. None.

[@Martha-s1s6x]

Pure New Orleans jazz. Well done Gentlemen, well done

[@CapriUni]

This has been one of my favorite Christmas songs since I first heard the Verve/Remix of Louis Armstrong's version a dozen years ago. I'm glad one of my favorite groups is bringing it to a wider audience.

[@FuelMeOnce]

Ain’t no Voice Play play like a J None Voice Play feature. You guys rocked the bells on this one!!

[@bethcoussou]

J None, mad respect for your “Louis” impression!!! This was loads of fun!!!!

[@ronsimms6961]

Always a pleasure to hear and see J None performing with Voiceplay.

[@bentheremedia3011]

You guys killed it!! This turned out so good! Really enjoyed working with all of you! 🫶🏼

[@lkreinmiller-author]

J.None MOST EXCELLENT Louie impression. Thank all of you for this amazing reminder of a bit of my Christmas past. Merry Christmas to all of you and your sweet families. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@PrincessFang217]

I never knew about this song until VoicePlay made this song! Love it!

[@bearfog07]

Why have you guys not put out a Christmas album, lord knows you have enough Christmas songs to make one! Great job as usual! Lots of love from Australia x

[@Lynn_M867]

Love this jazzy Christmas gift of a tune. And love J “Armstrong” as the feature. Happy holidays to all.

[@lucy_onYTB]

So fun! I love that Mr. Castellucci stayed in the smooth low voice without venturing too high or too low, it's my favorite. And Mr. J. None's Louis Armstrong vocals were incredible, everyone's voices were, really. But did you guys see the "star" at the top of the tree? I see you guys😏 Merry Christmas from the Czech republic and thank you for elevating my exam season.❤

[@glowormrdr6183]

No! I thought it was an angel. It's their logo? 👄🤭 I'll bet that's on their merch page.

[@lucy_onYTB]

Yes, it's their logo! It's a mouth 👅👄

[@mirantideturner]

It looks like everyone had a blast. Such a fun cover! A little spooky, a lot addictive, and a top-notch performance from all of the guys.

[@MrWulfKing]

They did it again!!! Another beautiful music hit!!!

[@bjspeck4337]

Oh my word...can't stop grinning. Loved the smooth transitions of the seating arrangements. While everyone's voice is terrific, where on Earth did J get that voice - could it be Louis lent his to J?

[@ingiford175]

I was watching a video a year ago about a drone that can repeatably do a given angle and they were using it to create magic illusions that had almost no jitter like we saw here (even on a windy street), I am wondering if they are using the same type of tech

[@yahconnijohnson1754]

This was one of my dad’s favorite Christmas songs. Everyone was fabulously fun and fantastic. What an honored tribute to Louie Armstrong by J None and Geoff, Ceasar, Eli, and Layne are always awesome. Merry Christmas 🎄❤

[@Debs_Badger]

Between your original cover of this one and Brian Setzer's, I've been hearing this one on my Christmas playlists for so long, I was genuinely surprised that many people hadn't heard it before. Needless to say, this revisit is both refreshing and fun, and TOTALLY meets the requirements of your origimagidiculous brand! 🎅🏻👀

[@LisaGolemArt]

Origimagisiculous…. lol. My new fav word!

[@amarab8544]

Not the Luis Armstrong impression I’m dying

[@BetsySchiller-sj2sm]

J's inner Louie Armstrong killed me! 😂 😂 Merry Christmas 🤶

[@rosemaryinnes160]

So funny and nice.I used to like Traves Scott but now it’s you amazing people.❤👍

[@cloudyskies8644]

Love that creepy Christmas vibe!

[@ArmanMcharo]

I’m so glad that J None is returning for these videos because I missed his singing it’s so enjoyable.

[@randolphlee4586]

Geoff knocked it out of the park with his Highly original version of Silver Bells, and now this; Well, it makes for a very happy Friday

[@leechowning2712]

His Carol of the Bells is coming out today too... I am on Patreon, so can say it was fun.

[@paperzing5533]

OMG!!! Permanent spot in my Christmas Playlist! When J started to scat, I fainted!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dominique2812]

VoicePlay featuring J.None for their Halloween- & Christmas music! Life is good 😊 Congratulations on a very successful year 😊🍾🥂

[@gabrielleclennon6589]

YAAASSSS!! J.None's impression of Louis Armstrong through..

[@PanTranPhee]

I just have to say, part of me is wondering if you guys have EVER done ANYTHING poorly or at a subpar level - cause if you tell me you have, I'm not gonna believe you. You are bloody phenomenal.

[@manasi_kane]

Christmassy on the edges, boppy in the middle with a sprinkle of spook ! I love it ❤ Always a great time when J joins y’all. This is such a fun video too ! Happy Christmas/ Holidays y’all !

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

:D a sprinkle of spook...... I like that.

[@AudioVile]

Gotta LOVE J None's nod to Louie Armstrong's vocal style! Great cover, as always!!

[@ruthfeiertag]

We know you guys have nothing about which to worry because you're never bad, just Always Awesome. You all are a great gift to the universe.

[@rjjsreactions-rk7zh]

Fun and excellently done J. None & Everyone! 🙂 🇨🇦

[@20Celia11]

The world is in change. But the spirit of Christmas still remains in our hearts. And we even can find it in the fun that this video brings. Love from Germany

[@KikiSohma]

Really enjoyed the cinematography on this one.

[@kmwwrench]

Love the Louis Armstrong voice from J None. Spookiest Christmas song ever.

[@chih-chaoyang5290]

This is just so much fun!! J’s energy definitely fits this song perfectly! And the Louis Armstrong voice is just great!! Cesar sprinkled the perfect amount of sass in this!! Geoff just makes the perfect bass voice in his solos, and Layne!! What was that beatbox singing happening at the same time I? 🤯 And Rock Eli also did get featured in this one as well!! 🥰🥰 Not to forget Zat Ur Hand Bucky here!! Thank you for spreading holiday joys!! Happy holidays y’all!!❤️❤️❤️

[@karenponchak5304]

You would think with all the classic Christmas tunes I grew up with, that I would have heard this one before hearing VoicePlay sing it. Nope. Far as I'm concerned, I'm kinda glad Layne's been "bad". Thank you for this gem. And J.None..... you're only the second person I've ever heard do such an impersonation. LOVE IT💛 Happy Holidays to all of you.

[@johnwatson2887]

You should hear Ella Fitzgerald's impersonation of Louis Armstrong. Just a couple of lines in, I think, Mack the Knife.

[@nanaminnnnn__]

VoicePlay always makes my day. Missed making my coffee this mornin and had to drop the kids off at school (phew, the day just started and I'm already tired!). Fortunately on the way to work, I had VoicePlay to bring me a bit of joy. Thanks again fellas for a wonderful melody!

[@devinspencer1678]

This is definitely one of my favorite Christmas songs, and you guys killed it!

[@BeatrizPOMPONLEVAINVILLE]

I can only imagine Santa Claus listening to this cover again and again and being late for delivering the Chrismas presents. This is brilliant !!! And J. None with his Louis Armstrong vibe should be illegal.

[@nathanmeech7495]

My son and I have been addicted to the phenomenal talent and antics of VP for the last 8 yrs. But it is their Christmas and Halloween music that really is our favorite. By the way they have enough originals of each you can make your own Christmas VP and Halloween VP albums on Spotify!

[@karenponchak5304]

they may actually do cd compilations ... outside of the two Christmas ones they've already done

[@wanderingyoutuber2055]

Everything you guys sing always comes out golden! This was pure holiday magic! Merry Christmas to all! ❤️🎄

[@katthor7311]

This is such a fun one! I've been listening to the earlier arrangement on their Peppermint Winter album for a few years now. It's very cool to have a new arrangement and a video now. 🤩 And if you ever needed proof that Layne speaks his own language....well here ya go. 😆

[@cairrean2412]

I love that it's the same song but it sounds so different.

[@katthor7311]

@cairrean2412 yes! Layne's brain knows no bounds.

[@dixiefletcher1539]

Love, love, love one of their best songs

[@amjdq23]

❤Jolly and spooky! Perfect! 🔥

[@lauriehallcolemandowns7364]

I love J channeling Satchmo scatting toward the end!!! I love Layne singing and beatboxing at the same time! Everybody's just so good in this! Gotta watch it multiple times like all of VP's songs! This is just so fun!!!

[@rmdewberry2482]

Fantastic notes, fine fits, snowy windows, epic camera work, Caesar shakin' the present...what more could you need?! ❤‍🔥

[@JP-lb5bm]

Another genius production. Tell me, does consistent perfection ever get tiring? You guys never disappoint, thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

[@Ctlife1986]

I love these guys, great tribute to Mr Armstrong. Could not have been done better❤️🎅

[@DGKEN]

OMG my boys did it again with the song they killed me i love you voice play your the best

[@fernandodesousa4842]

Congrats on yet another amazing song, and I'm definitely here for Jay's Louis Amstrong homage.

[@drewconleymusic]

Returning to the classics of course

[@twikid4134]

Glad to see J,. None!!!!!!!!!! J None, great Louis Armstrong. Great job to all of you, and thank you for a great retro Christmas song. Have a Merry Christmas to all of you and your families. 🎅🎅🎅🦌🦌

Fantastic job guys. Wishing all all of you a merry Christmas

Straight to the Christmas playlist it goes!!! ⚘️🕊

[@JoBarnes-x2n]

Never heard this Christmas song before! I love hearing new songs. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone. ❤🎄🎄🎄🥂🍻🍹

[@JoBarnes-x2n]

Just wanted to add I really like the set and the touch with the snow. Love the arrangement and fun vibe as well. You guys are all so very talented. 😊

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Nice Louis Armstrong shout out, J None. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs since minor textures are rarely heard in the “tired well known favorites” every pop artist covers around this time. Everyone got a chance to shine as the singer, and the harmonies are tight as usual. And even better for releasing the video on St Nicholas Day, just after Krampus Night the night before.

[@callmeanne1043]

Oh this has been an absolute banger, stuck in my head since it came out. Completely encapsulates the VoicePlay vibe that I’ve come to love so much. Also, goddamn J.None! He really did rule the show with this one and I adored every second of it. And Layne’s part! I knew in theory he could growl that low but having it be isolated so it’s clear it’s him was so cool!

[@banker4ever]

MULTIPLE FESTIVE EARGASMS-That's a Voice Play Christmas song. Merry Christmas to us🤣🤣

[@kiersten6577]

The singing is always on point ! I love their range! They ate these songs up ! I needed this cause my morning was alittle crazy 😭❤️

[@alexandralorenz3700]

What a great and refreshingly funny video. Your voices are fantastic as always, the arrangement high end, the video production top notch, the whole thing spiced up with a big dash of humor... My voiceplay heart is happy 😍

[@ad9aggie]

J.None channeling his inner Louis was priceless. Loved this guys!! Keep on keepin' on, y'all!

[@TitanWrangler]

I love how VoicePlay emblem is on the top of the tree. Their voices are angelic and otherworldly, so I suppose that’s an apt substitute :)

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

And, to add to the comnents; I love that the sofa had a solo feature shot included. That was a sofa-king dad joke.

[@Itsmebaileygee]

Excellent. Extremely well done, you dapper looking folks!

[@ruthroberts8868]

So good to see J. None, releasing his inner Louis!

So good, and so much fun! You never know what’s coming, except that this is VoicePlay with J None at their core all the way through!❤😂

[@jesusreignsinme]

I throughly enjoyed this. I actually had to listen to the original version from Louis Armstrong to be able to 1. Remember the song & 2. To be able to appreciate how you made it your own. Well, I just received my first Christmas gift from Voiceplay and it was fantastic! I know I say this so much, but THANK YOU & Merry Christmas to you and your family. What a great way to finish off 2024.
