Also, the Cesar in this ensemble appears to be a lot more kind and wholesome than the Cesar I dated for 3 years. So he has a good voice and a good heart.
@@DawnLapka I'm so sorry your Cesar turned out to be not so good. But yes, people who know this Cesar personally all tell us he's an absolute sweetheart, just like he appears on screen.
The 80s nostalgia is again brought home by VoicePlay. Thank you Eli. Cesar and Ashley, you knocked it out of the park. Layne and Geoff, great vocals and background beats as always.
This one brought tears to my eyes. Nice to see Ashley and Cesar together with the Spanish lines. Y'all are wonderful and my favorite group partly because of the variety that you bring me and the rest is pure magic.
I LOVE that they included the spanish version of this song sang by Lisette Alvares. A version that back then didn't get much recognition, only in the central American areas mostly but still a beautiful rendition to the original by Bonnie 🙌🔥✨️
I love Voiceplay's cover on this especially when Cesar and Ashley sang in Spanish. Been listening to it on repeat. I love Voiceplay's more theatrical stuff but this is wonderful too! This video deserves more likes and views!
Props to Rob on this arrangement- this was really lovely. Loved the inclusion of the Spanish lyrics. It’s …like. Cesar- you just get used to his angelic tone snd then you get a reminder of how versatile he is! Ashley is just excellent. I imagine her hiccups sound excellent probably can read the phone book and make that sound excellent too. It’s really a genius chemistry they have together and it’s smart to feature them. Of course, the three in support on this one are excellent too. It’s a terrific arrangement of your gifts- and Eli, really nice work here!!
i know i say this with every song's guest, but it's always a treat to have ashley d on board. this cover did not disappoint, my gosh. yet another VP video on instant replay 🧡
It's here! It's here! I saw one of my favorite songs was about to be released by one of my favorite groups, and nearly died holding my breath! Having it switch between English and Spanish was a pleasant surprise. 💖
Song selection, arangement , video... Everything is perfect. They sang the song fluently and flawlessly with Ashley Cesar's harmony. Eli is an incredible vocalist... I love Layne's singing too. And... Geoff ... The bass of the group touches the heart with its unique and impressive sound... This is the punchline !.👏👏
Boy, does this take me back! I would have bought the 45 of this back in the day! Special kudos to Cesar for nailing the 80s costuming! (Oh lord, all my favorite clothes from the 80s are now "costuming". I'll just hobble off to sit on my porch and yell at the neighborhood kids now.)
I was only recently introduced to VoicePlay, and have been recommending them to everyone I know ever since.. The experience of listening to them/watching their videos is akin to retrieving a comfy blanket, fresh and warm from the dryer, and wrapping it around your soul...😊
Either Cesar's really crushin' on Ashley or he's a flippin' amazing actor. But of course that's the thing I always love about him...he takes his part in the music as an actual acting role and he's completely committed to it. Honestly, every single one of you could make your living as actors. I often extoll your virtues as singers because you are each so uniquely talented vocally, but much should be said about character commitment. There is always such an intensity to it! As a musical theater person, I LOVE what you do!
I just never have the words to express how deeply I appreciate VoicePlay and their guest vocalists with every release. They are beyond top tier and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is no exception. The vocals and harmonies straight from heaven. My sincere thank you for your musical gifts to us with every note.
I remember singing this song across Kansas in 1983 when I moved to Colorado. It brings back the excitement and hope I felt then, seasoned with the bittersweet of things lost, which is the human experience. Lovely rendition, VoicePlay
Having recently driven from MO to CO (and then back again!), with modern speed limits (which I _still_ flagrantly broke), I can't imagine how interminable it must have felt in '83. Kudos to you for maintaining your sanity through the process!
Such a lovely rendition. Really enjoyed Ashley's Spanish parts. Geoff's backing bass really hit too. Cesar's and Eli's voices work really well with the song. Layne's beats kept good rhythm and kept the song moving. Well done all.
Voiceplay, thank you for the feel good, flashback Friday. Ashley and Cesar stole my heart on this one. This was another masterpiece and it was beautiful. These acapella groups don't miss with their arrangements. Now I am waiting for the next one---it will probably top this one as they usually do. Five voices I needed to hear today, thank you.❤🔥❤🔥❤❤
Total upswing and at the same time melting of the heart!!! The story in the video, your acting, the 80s arcade look, the clothing, your wonderful vocals, the Spanish bits and the amazing choices you made in the arrangement! Wonderful!
After a week of stress I finally got to watch this video. It might just be my new favourite song form you guys in quite some time. The harmonies, the arrangement, the unexpected turns (also the spanish part), I love it ❤
The first time Ashley disappears, my heart dropped and my eyes filled with tears. What an amazing video. Of course, the music is fabulous as well, but the video concept of this one really hit me. Could be a romantic couple, could be a platonic friend couple...works on many levels.
That was so gorgeous😍😍 I really love how you did a mix of English and Spanish, that was amazing. And the video is so cool, I love the story that you implemented into it. You guys are just the best, thank you for always making beautiful music❤
Wow. Just WOW!!! Sometimes it takes me more than one hearing to really "tune in" and fully appreciate how VoicePlay turns songs on their head. This one just smacked me in the face the very first time out. They took an original that was so-so (my opinion) and turned it into a thing of beauty. LOVE Ashley... glad to see her again. LOVED her in Rich Man/Girl and Bruno (as examples). Her voice works so well with these guys! LOVE this piece. Ashley and Cesar were PERFECT in this! Adorable! As I said at first... WOW!!!
WOW! I've loved this song since it first came out. I have to say Ashley and Cesar's vocals are so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes! You ALL always sound AWESOME no matter what you sing! Love you guys and Ashley!
That is such a beautiful rendition of the song. I love the dynamic between Caesar and Ashley. You guys really pick excellent guests to sing these songs. As always, the arrangements and production are second to none. Beautifully done song and video. Love the mixing in of the Beautifully sung Spanish, as well. You guys are just so ridiculously talented. Just when you think you got VoicePlay figured out and pegged, they stretch themselves and do more amazing things.
Y'all are the embodiment of a gigantic, bright shining, powerful, admirable, adorable, beautiful, wonderfully singing heart! I just say: THANK YOU.......from my heart. 🥰
This was the cover I didn't know I needed in my life, but VoicePlay came through again! Wonderful, amazing, chilling harmonies, fun set and costumes were on point! Thank you so much for this!
VP absolutely loved it🤩 I was hoping after you released the short, that you all will make a full version, and yesss, VP you made my day! The whole song was a treat to the ears, but when Ceaser and Ashley started singing in Spanish - wow! That touched the heart. Geoff, your voice is soooo amazing, it's serenity in a nutshell. Loved it VP, another masterpiece for my playlist💕
OMG. I'm speechless. Again. So beautiful. So emotional. You guys are reality Amazing. Another piece of art (heart). Assolutamente fantastico. Tutto. Ancora una volta senza parole. Grazie ❤❤❤ ❤
I absolutely love the place that this was filmed in! It’s a family favorite for my siblings, parents, and I! Beautiful work as always you guys! Beautiful song! ❤
Thank you for this rendition. Masterfully sung and reminded me of how much I still miss my late husband after a few years. They are always good memories for me.
You always rock!!!! The largest a cappella group and my favorite. I'd like to see you sing Breakfast in America by Supertramp, or some of their other songs. I think their songs would be great sung by you. Congratulations! Success always!
Ohh, I’m so excited for this. I love Total Eclipse! It reminds me of the time when I was getting groceries and this song came on over the radio. I looked around, and - can you believe it - I was the only one singing! We were in a supermarket for heaven’s sake. There would have been enough hairbrushes for everyone to have a microphone!
I love this arrangement. It's such a fresh take on a track I've heard more times than I'll ever admit. The mix of voices on this track give it such a great sound.
My friend shared your video with me. Such a gorgeous cover! Guys it was amazing while listening to you. I turned on for several times. Thanks a lot! You made my raining Friday evening!
This is absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you. You are all so amazing! I can’t believe I was able to live life before I found you. I love all of you so much!!!❤❤❤ And I love you now tonight. And I love you MORE than ever! (If that’s possible😊)
S'il vous plaît sans orchestres, juste la voix et des effets avec la bouche mais quel régal d'écouter ces musiques et un grand merci au groupe de VoicePlay
Do you guys ever miss? NO! A beautiful rendition of this classic song! Ashley should join your group permanently! Her voice blends so sweetly with the rest of you! ❤
I knew Ashley is a terrific singer, but oh my, this was such an extraordinary performance on her part! I mean, everybody is fantastic and the arrangement is brilliant, but... Ashley... You're incredible!
Ashley and Cesar’s voices together are just mesmerizing.
Also, the Cesar in this ensemble appears to be a lot more kind and wholesome than the Cesar I dated for 3 years. So he has a good voice and a good heart.
agree
Yes! They blend together beautifully. Their collabs with Ashley and Rachel are my favorites.
@@DawnLapka I'm so sorry your Cesar turned out to be not so good. But yes, people who know this Cesar personally all tell us he's an absolute sweetheart, just like he appears on screen.
VoicePlay has been my number one favorite accappela group ever.
Mine too 😊
They've certainly stepped in since Pentatonix lost Avi.
truee
The 80s nostalgia is again brought home by VoicePlay. Thank you Eli. Cesar and Ashley, you knocked it out of the park. Layne and Geoff, great vocals and background beats as always.
Great job, guys! And Lady! She fits in surprisingly well.
Cesar! Ashley! Your voices together are something otherworldly - and I love the little story told in the video.
This one brought tears to my eyes. Nice to see Ashley and Cesar together with the Spanish lines. Y'all are wonderful and my favorite group partly because of the variety that you bring me and the rest is pure magic.
Such a beautiful arrangement. Love the Ashley and Cesar duet. One of my favorite songs
Beatboxing was sick, Spanish lyrics gorgeous, deep notes incredible and the shots of the air hockey were hilarious hahah amazing cover guys!”
such a beautiful and heartbreaking version of this song. I love the retro setting and clothes. They suit Cesar and Ashley particularly well 😍
I LOVE that they included the spanish version of this song sang by Lisette Alvares. A version that back then didn't get much recognition, only in the central American areas mostly but still a beautiful rendition to the original by Bonnie 🙌🔥✨️
Deserves more views, Ashley Diane's voice is a perfect complement to VoicePlay ❤
I love Voiceplay's cover on this especially when Cesar and Ashley sang in Spanish. Been listening to it on repeat. I love Voiceplay's more theatrical stuff but this is wonderful too! This video deserves more likes and views!

Geoff giving me goosebumps with that massive low note... ✅✔️☑️
Watched this so many times over at this point and Eli's voice at 1:34 and Cesar's at 2:28 are so packed full of emotion! So rich and beautiful!
i know i say this with every song's guest, but it's always a treat to have ashley d on board. this cover did not disappoint, my gosh. yet another VP video on instant replay 🧡
Absolutely adoring the Spanish verses. Thank you for that! Ashley Diane is awesome and I love when she lends her voice to yours, guys!
It's here! It's here!
I saw one of my favorite songs was about to be released by one of my favorite groups, and nearly died holding my breath!

Eli is an incredible vocalist... I love Layne's singing too.

🙏♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for giving us a full version of this one, VoicePlay! Love seeing Ashley back with y'all 😁
The Spanish parts!!!!! I'm on my knees.... I loved it!!! Amazing!!!!
Boy, does this take me back! I would have bought the 45 of this back in the day! Special kudos to Cesar for nailing the 80s costuming! (Oh lord, all my favorite clothes from the 80s are now "costuming". I'll just hobble off to sit on my porch and yell at the neighborhood kids now.)
Don’t forget to wear your bathrobe and Birkenstocks!
It was bad enough when I turned on the golden oldies station & they were playing Queen😂
I'll join you, lol.😂
Don't forget, either, we gotta do the big hair!
Hey kids! Get off my lawn!
I was only recently introduced to VoicePlay, and have been recommending them to everyone I know ever since.. The experience of listening to them/watching their videos is akin to retrieving a comfy blanket, fresh and warm from the dryer, and wrapping it around your soul...😊
We all hope you love them as much as we do! Welcome to one of the more sweet and wholesome corners of RUclips...a corner loaded with talent and fun.
@@joyfulyes Thank you! That's very kind (and kindness is one of the most important of all human attributes...😊)
Ashley fits in so perfectly with VoicePlay.... love it!

Couldn’t green more.
And once again Voiceplay has taken a song that I am familiar with, but never really paid much attention to, and made it AWESOME.
I remember singing this song across Kansas in 1983 when I moved to Colorado. It brings back the excitement and hope I felt then, seasoned with the bittersweet of things lost, which is the human experience. Lovely rendition, VoicePlay
Having recently driven from MO to CO (and then back again!), with modern speed limits (which I _still_ flagrantly broke), I can't imagine how interminable it must have felt in '83. Kudos to you for maintaining your sanity through the process!
I do have to say, Ashley always knocks it out of the park, she has worked her way into my top 2 VoicePlay collaborators.
Such a lovely rendition. Really enjoyed Ashley's Spanish parts. Geoff's backing bass really hit too. Cesar's and Eli's voices work really well with the song. Layne's beats kept good rhythm and kept the song moving. Well done all.
Ahhhh that sounded amazing!!! Always happy when Ashley collabs with you
I love this version. So romantic and peaceful
Voiceplay, thank you for the feel good, flashback Friday. Ashley and Cesar stole my heart on this one. This was another masterpiece and it was beautiful. These acapella groups don't miss with their arrangements. Now I am waiting for the next one---it will probably top this one as they usually do. Five voices I needed to hear today, thank you.❤🔥❤🔥❤❤

Amazing!! Whenever Ashley and VoicePlay are on the same screen together, you know it‘s gonna be great!!
After a week of stress I finally got to watch this video. It might just be my new favourite song form you guys in quite some time. The harmonies, the arrangement, the unexpected turns (also the spanish part), I love it ❤
Oh wow.. this is a favorite of mine, this was even better. I have chills and tears.
Omg, you guys did an incredible cover again. And I love that you sang in Spanish gracias. The retro vibe with the arcade just gives it a final touch.
The first time Ashley disappears, my heart dropped and my eyes filled with tears. What an amazing video. Of course, the music is fabulous as well, but the video concept of this one really hit me. Could be a romantic couple, could be a platonic friend couple...works on many levels.
I also teared up❕❗
And I teared up as well.
Just lovely VP and Ashley! Cannot wait for the reaction videos and replay this a 1000 times. ❤ VP
Amazing! i Love that its a spanglish version! straight into my heart!
Geeze this takes me back. I heard this song so often in my childhood! 😂 Loved your version!
I absolutely love it when Ashley sings with Voiceplay.
What a lovely arrangement for some beautiful voices!
I have nothing but heart eyes for this cover, Ashley’s voice blends so well with all of y’all’s voices. All around, it’s a beautiful rendition ❤️
That was so gorgeous😍😍 I really love how you did a mix of English and Spanish, that was amazing. And the video is so cool, I love the story that you implemented into it. You guys are just the best, thank you for always making beautiful music❤
A very lovely version brilliantly executed! And I do love the 80's vibe of the video. 🥰
I want all your shorts to be longer, so I’m very happy this one got a full version! Just beautiful! ❤️🎶
Absolutely beautiful as always! And that harmony at the end *chefs kiss*
Wow wow wow! What a beautiful arrangement and a powerful performance!

Thank you for this rendition. Masterfully sung and reminded me of how much I still miss my late husband after a few years. They are always good memories for me.
Was für eine süße Liebesgeschichte von VoicePlay ,bzw .Ashley Diane und Caesar. Der Song hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Danke VoicePlay.❤❤❤❤
You always rock!!!! The largest a cappella group and my favorite. I'd like to see you sing Breakfast in America by Supertramp, or some of their other songs. I think their songs would be great sung by you. Congratulations! Success always!
Consider my heart eclipsed 🥰
Now I really need Eli leading “I Need A Hero” 😁
That would be an amazing mini. Hopefully I will remember that one the next time they open the suggestion box.
That would be EPIC
The name of the song is "Holding Out for a Hero".
Full Shrek cosplay
Totally
Thanks so very much for turning this into a full version.❤
Ohh, I’m so excited for this. I love Total Eclipse!
It reminds me of the time when I was getting groceries and this song came on over the radio. I looked around, and - can you believe it - I was the only one singing! We were in a supermarket for heaven’s sake. There would have been enough hairbrushes for everyone to have a microphone!
Holy cow, from the awesome video, to the Spanish section, and that key change... Total full body chills!
2nd listen... Same chills. You guys knocked this one out of the park!!
So.... BEAUTIFUL. The perfect mix of voices for this masterpiece.
This was utterly incredible, I never expected a 'Spanglish' version but I loved it, Ashley and Cesar have such chemistry that you can feel the pain.
I love this arrangement. It's such a fresh take on a track I've heard more times than I'll ever admit. The mix of voices on this track give it such a great sound.
Its great to see Ashley back in a full length production: Its been a while!
this was beautiful, made me cry
This was fantastic!! I like the bits of Spanish mixed in as well!
I can't count how many times I came back to listen to this again. So beautiful ❤
QUE MARAVILHA......PARABÉNS VOCÊS SÃO DEMAIS..👏👏👏👏
Love Ashley's voice.
One of favorite songs going through my teenage years. Beautiful done
My friend shared your video with me. Such a gorgeous cover! Guys it was amazing while listening to you. I turned on for several times. Thanks a lot! You made my raining Friday evening!
Stellar arrangement!
Loved the short and love love love this extended version ! Loved the video and love love love the DRAMA ! All very 80s ❤️😊 Thank you for doing this !
I love Ashley and Cesar's voices together, so so so beautiful! And the sections in Spanish hit me directly in the heart
Yay! Looking forward to the public premiere after watching it so many times on Patreon! ❤
This was so beautiful it made me tear up ☺️☺️
Love the 80s arcade look
This is absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you. You are all so amazing! I can’t believe I was able to live life before I found you. I love all of you so much!!!❤❤❤
And I love you now tonight. And I love you MORE than ever! (If that’s possible😊)
I love the original and this cover is really beautiful!
S'il vous plaît sans orchestres, juste la voix et des effets avec la bouche mais quel régal d'écouter ces musiques et un grand merci au groupe de VoicePlay
Do you guys ever miss? NO! A beautiful rendition of this classic song! Ashley should join your group permanently! Her voice blends so sweetly with the rest of you! ❤
Love this arrangement, beyond my expectation!!!
Voiceplay never disapoints🔥🔥🔥
ESPECTACULAR!!!
Ashley’s voice is just angelic. Voiceplay absolutely killing it as usual
I literally wait for Voiceplay to post videos and they never disappoint 🥹
Tears. Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful Voiceplay and Ashley.
I knew Ashley is a terrific singer, but oh my, this was such an extraordinary performance on her part! I mean, everybody is fantastic and the arrangement is brilliant, but... Ashley... You're incredible!
Yeah - didn’t realize how well she could act before! Kept tearing up!
