We're finally back with a new reaction! VoicePlay and AleXa totally did it justice. Also, if you've not seen the Arcane series yet, do yourself a favour and check it out! It's SO GOOD. 😍

For me, what makes Geoff's bass line so amazing (as one reactor pointed out), he's effortlessly slipping back and forth from low chest to subs.

[@huldradraco]

yes, Cesar's tattoo is real, its a tarot card King of Cups. and yep, that is Geoff going up in his falsetto range for a few seconds :-) and finishes the song with a growl that ends all the way down to an A0.

[@shirleykarr560]

I wondered if that was a new personal best low for Geoff. The THX sound effect slide he does was an awesome way to end the song.

[@huldradraco]

@@shirleykarr560 he has done fry even lower, but the growl only ended on an A0, it wasn't a sustained note, which is usually what people count when counting it as part of a vocal range. it was just a fraction of a second. his lowest sustained is still the B0.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

@@huldradraco What I'm curious about is whether he did the high falsetto at 8:44 too! Another commenter was pretty sure that that was Geoff, and not Geoff handing off to AleXa! 🤔

[@huldradraco]

@@ZhenYaoYin no, that's AleXa. Geoff's high notes lasted from 8:40 to 8:44, and then AleXa came in even higher. A lot of reactors don't catch that it is Geoff doing the high notes though and assume it's one of the others.

[@thprofessional5070]

I'm glad they left out the look out for yourself line and the rap. This felt much more epic to me!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

They definitely made the song their own! 😍

[@chlistens7742]

AleXa is a K-pop artist and winner of America Song Contest 2022 (raised in Oklahoma and a US citizen). AleXa's part was filmed in South Korea where she was when the video was being created. If you decide to watch some of AleXa's songs i would recommend (in this order to watch) "Bomb" "Do or Die" and "Revolution" they have a linked story through the music videos... if you just want a sample of AleXa then go try her latest song Wonderland (i would recommend the "Official Performance Video" version version of this song

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Well, stay tuned... We have a video coming up soon! 😉

[@ZhenYaoYin]

I didn't expect to finish uploading it today, but here it is! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWGboKKonqySea8

[@BBgunX22]

Geoff didn't hand off his falsetto to AleXa that was all him. He has an insane range. Truly a talented singer

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

love when Eli gets to belt out his part! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Yaaaaaas 🙌

[@suzybailey5501]

I can't really find the words... Alexa - Great! Cesar - Oh my! Eli - WOW! Geoff - OMG! Layne - What the hell was that??? Great reaction as always, thank you! 😊👍

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Truly "What the hell was that???"!!! 😆

[@mmasque2052]

The members of Voiceplay were dressed as Characters from Arcane, too; maybe just not as closely as AleXa does Jynx. Cesar is Ekko, Geoff is Silco (I think that’s the name. The one who helped shape Jynx into what she became.) the others a bit less so but still game-based. As for the video, each of them was filmed separately in front of a green screen (AleXa was in Korea and uploaded her part through the internet) then all the individual parts edited together.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Now that you mention it, it makes sense that Geoff was Silco... He did that whole evil laugh and all! 🤔

[@jtaylor119]

Layne is Viktor and Eli is Jayce!

[@julietull2316]

Just want to say that you two are such a joy to watch! You’re an adorable couple.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Aww, thanks! ❤

[@sandraperezaguilar4946]

My best wishes for a full recovery to Carrie. Geoff's laugh sounds so cool, it's like "evil." Of course Layne excelled at beatboxing and Eli...is Eli, what else can I say, he's always magnificent, I love his high notes!!! Cesar's soft voice!!!. I've never heard of AleXa, but I definitely liked her voice, and the little choreography suits the video well. Don't you think they darkened Geoff's hair and Eli's mustache and beard to match the theme of the video?

[@shirleykarr560]

The hair looks darker, but it's just an effect to darken everything to suit the tone of the song. In the BTS you can see their usual hair and mustache color. Except Cesar, of course.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

I suppose they did darken everything a little bit! So that they match the background... And Carrie's fully recovered now too, thanks for your well wishes! ❤

[@sandraperezaguilar4946]

@@ZhenYaoYin I am glad to know that Carrie is well now.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

I'm sorry you were ill and I'm so glad you're doing better now. And thank you guys so much for the explanations. I've never even heard of Arcane, much less have any familiarity of it. I'd heard the names Jinx and Echo mentioned by other reactors and assumed the other were dressed as specific character too. I guess not, although Eli and Geoff are looking so dapper. Love those outfits! Thanks again, guys.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Glad that the explanations helped! 😄

[@JerryGDawg56]

Great reaction as always guys!!

[@ericturner7824]

Cesar's tattoo is a modified 'king of cups' tarot card......been waiting for your reaction to this....hope Carrie is ok now......in their cover of "If I Was A Rich Man/Girl" Geoff has that high 'run', if you check out Layne's grin, as Geoff goes into his falsetto.....his wicked grin........>^^< On Cesar's Instagram account, he was doing a video postcard, and i did see it there, but in "Dream On", it can be seen.....too.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Thanks! I don't know why I didn't notice it in "Dream On"! And Carrie's totally okay now, too! 😄

[@veronicathunander4579]

I can't wait for you to react to the one Geoff will release next (I guess next week since he just uploaded it on Patreon)! It's hilarious! 😊 I always enjoy your reactions so much!

[@shirleykarr560]

I can hear their giggling already. 🤣

[@veronicathunander4579]

@@shirleykarr560 🤣

[@rmdewberry2482]

There is just SO SO much in this song. XD They killed it.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Totally!! 🤩

[@masestero]

when i first saw the video (never had the pleasure from arcane as others), i thought they were and that might just be me being old school LoL player, from left to right: Victor (Layne), Ekko (Cesar), Jinx (Alexa), Braum (Eli, mainly because of the mustache) and Vladimir (Geoff)

[@thprofessional5070]

Can't wait for your reaction to way down by Geoff!

[@christinestromberg4057]

They were all filmed on green screen, seperately, at least for the choreography, which AleXa sent by phone from South Korea! Layne is channelling a lion in this one.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Big Lion Energy! 😂

[@SugarGaL44]

Alexa reminded me of Jazel right from the start! xD

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Took us awhile though, LOL! 😂

[@veronicathunander4579]

I’ve been longing to see your reaction to this! Sorry that you got covid, Carrie, and glad to see that you are well again!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Thanks, we're glad to be back too! 🙌

[@janetdw]

Glad to have you back! This is such a complex arrangement not only musically but visually. Thank you for the explanations. As with so many of the more modern songs that VoicePlay does I Googled the Imagine Dragons version and found one they had merged with clips from either the series or game - I’m not sure which. So I knew that Jinx was, shall we say, troubled. I may have to actually subscribe to Netflix for a short time just to see who what the heck is going on. Since you’ve seen the series you may be able to answer a question for me. It seems that the effect that they’ve given the guys and Alexa makes them look like they’re CGI generated like in really high level games. Does that have anything to do with the series? It’s just they don’t quite look real, especially Eli. There’s a flatness to them that makes them look like characters in a game.

[@simmerplayer2747]

Ive not watched Arcane, but ive seen clips of it, so yes it is animated so im sure that was the look that Voiceplay was going for to match with the visuals of the show. And Arcane is connected to the game League of Legends.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

I'm pretty sure that they were very deliberate in achieving a similar look and feel to the show... Props to Eli (and Layne too I think) on the video production! 🔥

[@robertofiend1264]

8:44 That’s the first inaccurate thing you said throughout the video. That was actually Geoff continuing that high falsetto with a run. Listen carefully and you will hear the run. If that was AleXa, she would still do it in chest, since this is her “low” high range. This is Geoff’s HIGH HIGH range. That’s why it’s in falsetto.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

It sounded more like AleXa's "low" high range to me, but if it was really Geoff, that was probably the highest note he has *EVER* hit! 🤯 (don't quote me on that lol)

[@robertofiend1264]

He has hit higher than this. This was I believe a B4 to a C#5 all in falsetto. His highest note that he can hit is an A5. In VP videos, we have seen him hit an Eb5 in his mix range in the Queen medley. In the Little Mermaid Medley, he hit a D5. So yeah, Geoff is basically an alien.

[@roblowe8387]

so geoff played vladimir and eli is playing braun and i think my boy ove on the left is playing bomber suit darius
