Well, I want a sweatshirt!!!
We can definitely make that happen 😁
if that's you Rachel, i LOVE your voice.....HUGE fan......any opportunity to hear you is a welcome addition to my bleak existence ......vocal interplay between you and Geoff is great
Please be an official member of Voiceplay
@@gaffayu4395 i would love to but as a rule .... i join nothing....i was never even a boy scout....thanks for asking, Gaffa
@@markmclendon8621 I was saying that to Rachel lol
Layne did a great job arranging this one.
Got everyone to beatbox.
In The Little Mermaid Rachel sings in two roles, first as the mermaid, and then Ursula imitating her, so high for Ariel and lower chest voice in the other role. It's interesting. I love watching you watching /VoicePlay, I love how you love and appreciate Geoff and his gorgeous voice. His new one, to be shortly released, is rather different. No sudden suprises, no diving into the depths for shock effect, just a stunningly beautiful rendition. Brings tears and not just to me.
always impressed by Eli’s voice he’s so versatile ❤️🏴,
Another brilliant medley from VoicePlay and Rachel Potter! I had forgotten how much I LOVE the music from The Greatest Showman until I heard this, and it was so nice to hear it done by some of the best singers around. So much fun with some super creative moments (as we've come to expect from VoicePlay) -- please enjoy! Also, be sure to check out the epic new merch from The Bass Gang (link is in the description) 😁
My only complaint was the lyric change during some of the songs, but other than that it was good :)
Enjoy hearing Layne sing, and then hearing the whole group beat box! The professional riffs and belts, mostly absent in the original, are really great. Also loved Geoff just dropping in a low base note here and there. Great analysis video, Thanks!
Please 🥰🙏 Reacting Voctave's song too 😘
@@MegaJogadora I made my 1st video for Voctave that will be coming out Monday after next :)
@@PeterBarber 😱😁👏👏👏👏👏
Just a late FYI - Hugh Jackman was stage musical theater before he was a movie star. He, like John Travolta & Kevin Bacon, got his start as a trained song & dance man. So he IS a trained singer just like the VP crew! And the woman they dubbed in for "Never Enough" was just supposed to demo it to sell the movie & music to possible producers. But when they heard her performance, the actress & rest of the cast recommended her voice be used instead. She's really an amazing singer & recently performed that song live on stage with Pentatonix! It was awesome! 💖
2:29 Bell tones all the way bro 😂✊🏽
This is one of the best arrangements by Layne, imo. Everybody performed beautifully 🔥💯. I guess sometimes it pays off to think "inside the box" 🤣😍
I couldn't help but smile when you said Layne was the only one beatboxing, as I knew what was coming up; and sure enough, around 11:10 everybody does it, even Rachel. It was great! 🤯
Thanks for another great reaction and analysis, Peter! 💖
"Trashin' the Camp" 😂 Yes!!
5:02 Pentatonix did something similar when they collabed with Lindsey Stirling for, "Papaoutai". The opera singer being protrayed by Rachel Ferguson in the movie was supposed to be Jenny Lind. Rachel's vocals for "Never Enough" were actually performed by Lauren Allred, who got her start on "The Voice".
I love seeing a reactor get excited about the "music theory" aspect of a song. Another great analysis bro.
Geoff and most bass singers are ALIENS.
N’synk had one major hit where they are puppets in a puppet show.
The song "Never enough" was the choice of the Opera singer. Everyone in the audience seems off because it is not her opera NOT her way of singing. She was talking to P.T. Barnum. played by Hugh Jackman. She wanted him and she found out before performing that evening that he did not feel the same about her and that he loved his wife. That is why the song builds and she tells him a little something something!!
Ah love Trashing The Camp. The NSYNC/Phil Collins version was awesome but love the movie version too.
My favorite movie and have seen it three times.
Looking swell my friend 😍 great video!
Re Geoff/nasal… It seems to me he’s pulled way back on that. I think he might have seen some of the comments you mentioned or picked up on it himself watching the videos, because while I still notice it from time to time it seems like when he does it now it’s more intentional and less just a comfortable habit. He has this incredible natural voice and this last year it feels like he’s been working his butt off on the details.
Agreed! I really noticed in his latest solo video ‘Shenandoah’ - his upper register sounds so clean and open!
Fun fact. They never used a green screen. They built this box from square one.
TARZAN IS MY FAVE DISNEY MOVIE WITH A MALE HERO IN IT
LOVED YOUR REACTION. I REALLY ENJOY IT .
Loved watching you enjoy and dance with this.
Amazing reaction and analyisis of this cover by voiceplay. Keep it up . loving it them.
It was a pleasure listening to and watching your analysis of one of my favorite movie soundtracks, loved every bit of it!
Glad you got to this one so quick! This is the absolute best reaction & analysis page on RUclips!
What a wonderful reaction....Thank you so much, your knowledge seems brilliant.. Thank you VoicePlay...amazing as always!
Loved your reaction and analysis! 🥰 Also ordered my sweatshirt. Couldn't resist loved the colors and look of it. Hope you are having an awesome start to this new year.
Always enjoy your commentary as they help me "hear" more in the song. VoicePlay is one of my favorite groups and you know sometimes it's all about that bass.😊
While I enjoyed their take on it there was one song on the soundtrack that they didn't sing in their video. And I noticed that because the song was my favorite from the film.
I just want to let you know that I love your reactions and analyses. I can (and do) watch your videos over and over because your content never ceases to entertain (even the umpteenth time) and your own voice is so pleasant. Keep doing what you’re doing and more! Much love and respect.
Great analysis!! You pointed out so many things I missed, I love it. Just bought a sweatshirt too! Should be here in a few days 😁 so excited
OK, comment three: the merch looks fantastic. I am dying to see another song from you guys. Hope it comes soon, and I can’t wait to see your new covers. Just a side note: I look forward to your reactions because you explain things so well, and as a performer, you are a lot of fun to watch-loved the things you did with the Emperor’s New Clothes and Therefore I am, for example. Lots of character bits that just helped make the songs work. I finally got around to Change On The Rise, and you did some things there vocally that just blew me away. I knew you were good, but something about the way you opened it up in that was just awesome. I’m not nearly as able as you are to analyze and explain, but damn, it was good. Well, done!
Loved that they were thinking inside the box ( Music Box ) that is. Everyone got to do a little beatboxing. Geoff with the Christopher Lee look with the mustache and cape. The part that was so fun to me was that they ended in the exact same positions they were in at the beginning.
Never enough Is my favorite song.
I am soooooo behind on ur videos 😔 been a busy couple weeks.
This is an amazing rendition I love it.
As always, an amazing reaction analysis from u, I appreciate it.
I'm loving the hoodie and want one too!
I love Rachel with Voiceplay
Thank you thank you thank you for mentioning the opera singer in the movie. I had the same exact thoughts and I really thought I was the only one who thought that.
I can listen to you talk for hours 🤗
One of these days I'll catch on to the fact you spoil us with second videos. :) Why yes, I did notice that hoodie and I love it, especially the teal accents (Teal's my favorite color) I'll be checking out the shop asap. #HappyGangsta Keep up the great work!
Rachel needs to be a permanent feature of VPlay
she fits so well with them
Excellent break down, as always! I always look forward to your new releases. Now. I looked through your videos and did not see Voctave. You say you like a cappella. Well, they are a beast in the a capella world. They sometimes collab with well-known soloists (Kirstin Maldonado, Sandi Patty, David Phelps, Rachel Potter, etc) and use their own talented soloists as well. They have many albums; but, songs? I’d look at Disney Love Medley (feat. Kirstin and then fiancée), Great Movie Medley, Someone Like You, & Impossible Dream. Bring Him Home (feat. David Phelps) is beautifully done. They have an entire release with songs like Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, a nod to Ella Fitzgerald, among so many amazing others. When people hear them, jaws drop. Most people get caught up in the beautiful voice of Kate Lott, the 1st soprano who is classically trained and reaches beautiful high notes. I love listening to all the middle voices interweaving. Lastly, their Prince of Egypt Medley is absolutely stunning and a nod to the original. They are in Orlando and many sing in Epcot as Voices of Liberty. You’re missing out if you don’t give them a listen❤️🎶 Don’t make me shout that I’m a Patreon, lol!!! All songs are arranged by one of the singers, Jamey Ray. He arranges each song to fit each specific voice. Very cool. Cheers!
Can't wait for the Dragon Born reaction now.
According to what I read, Hugh Jackman only sang one of the songs - the rest were done by a professional singer. The same for the person who played Jenny Lind.
Also ( I didn’t notice it right off, but someone else made a comment that I checked out) Layne added a line in Never Enough. Cesar (and I think Eli) sings “can I ever be enough?” in that lovely wistful tone he can portray. Those details are what set VP apart. (Along with the lining of the music box being “Big Top” red and white stripes.
I love the music box. It was fun to see them assemble it. But I especially love the parts where Layne pointed with the cane (to bring up the lights?) and the cane extended past the edges of the music box. Just like the hat toss it seems to reinforce the illusion that they are in this tiny music box.
But…. I am not knowledgeable about opera, but I was astonished that I knew about The Swedish Nightingale and you didn’t 😳. Spool beds are named for her - she was hugely popular. I V am older though- but not that old!!
Yes. I was surprised they gave a totally pop song to the opera singer character “Jenny Lind”. I kept waiting for a higher note or two. VoicePlay always has wonderful medleys. I appreciate your analysis. Thanks
Ik I’m gonna love this. Your videos always pick up things I do and want others to appreciate.
I’m looking forward to your reaction to Geoff’s newest video (hint hint). You’ll love it. Full of everything geoff does right.
Awesome Reaction!!!!
In the original movie, one reason they might have had the famous "Swedish Nightingale" singer Jenny Lind not sing opera, other than to keep in line thematically with the rest of the movie, is that Lind had officially "retired" from opera by the time she toured America with Barnum managing her, singing other music that was said to better suit her voice. She was considered too "cold and Teutonic" for the passionate Italian opera but her voice was said to be one of the best of her generation. Hand Christians Anderson and Chopin were inspired by her.
I loved this reaction and analysis! You always help to point out certain parts I missed with your careful ear and I enjoy how genuinely you enjoy the music and the performances. Glad you loved the movie this is based from, it's one of my favorites for music soundtracks!
Voctave does an awesome arrangement of “A Million Dreams” with the Dallas Vocal Majority chorus. It’s well worth checking out.
Definitely not me clocking the sweatshirt the second I saw the thumbnail 👌 honestly felt called out there 🤣
They weren't edited into the box.... that was the set, they built it to size.
Yep, it is a cover and the album is unbelievable
Regarding the editing, the figurines reminds me of Papaoutai, by Pentatonics and Lindsey Stirling, where they are small dolls in a kid's playroom.
Love your insight and analysis! Looking forward to the Pit Vipers being broke out for Shenandoah!
Based on your comments about the actors singing the songs well and voiceplay one-upping them as pro singers - I can highly recommend the Greatest Showman Reimagined album!! P!nk does A Million Dreams and it’s beautiful, but all the songs are so well done!
Brilliant reaction as always!! Does anyone know what was the high note Eli hit in last solo?!
Hi Peter! Great reaction - thanks for the amazing breakdown as usual! I really love that hoodie and went to the link you put in the description, but it won't let me click on the hoodie to view it or to choose sizes, etc. The only option is to put it in the cart...so I tried that and it both says I have one item in my cart and also that my cart is empty. I think some tweaking needs to be done on your merch site, maybe?
I totally agree with your comment about how the famous opera singer Jenny Lind was singing that song and they didnt get an actual opera singer for the part. That was something that was a sticking point for me with the movie as well, other than that i love the songs that were in that movie so much.
I know this may not be super popular with your audience as it's late-20th-century classical, but it would be super cool to take a look at the 4th movement of Schnittke's Choir Concerto. In my opinion, one of the greatest works ever for unaccompanied choir.
Hugh Jackman was in a few Broadway shows. Like Boy from Oz and in the movie Les Mis as both of the main Characters. He has had quite a bit of musical theatre training. I know you listen to Songs with Bass mostly but Jeremy Jordan is an AMAZING BROADWAY SINGER AND TENOR. I would looove to see some reactions to his high notes
He was also in Oklahoma!
D1 sub on your upcoming "Other Side" cover 😲 that is seriously impressive! Make sure you get the Pit Vipers out and I'd love to see your initial reaction when you get it back from Marwan!
diamond in the rough voice play alladin medley is awesome need a reaction
This current 4+Rachel grouping may be Voiceplay's best ever.
Regarding the video choice of having Voiceplay be figures in a music box, Pentatonix's music video for Papaoutai had them as dolls, so a similar-ish concept.
Truth Arcane is incredible!
May I suggest a very nice singer by the name of Colm McGuiness? He has an awe-inspiring range that I think you would find impressive
I loved the group perc section. It was just so well pulled off. Also, I really do love the timber of Layne's singing voice. We only get to hear it just so rarely, that when he actually DOES sing even if just a little, I find myself hanging on his voice a bit. LOL.
Eli really surprised me with his low section, too. I have never heard him singing quite that low before, and for him that's really low compared to where he normally sings. (TFW you as a female Contralto listen to a guy singing and your first reaction is "holy crap, that's way higher than I can ever hope to reach!" 😂)) His voice is so versatile that it's crazy awesome.
Geoff being Geoff... I melt when he sings no matter what. LOL. But this was a nice mix of his range, I think. No lows just for the sake of going low, but lows that enriched the sound of the piece. Very well done. I think some of the nasal sound we get from him at times might just be from him pushing himself higher than his voice likes to be.
I loved the music box, too. VP are so creative, and it's their theatrics that make them my fav of all the acapella groups.
Thanks again for your expertise as well - the technical side of your commentary is why I watch your reactions. :)
If you enjoy Layne's singing, I'd recommend checking out his personal youtube channel (Layne Stein) and the studio he owns with Tony Wakim (PattyCake Productions)! They have some awesome Disney-style songs on PattyCakes (I highly recommend "It's not over yet" and "Tough Love") although they're not acapella. On his personal channel he often makes sweet birthday videos for his daughter, and definitely gets to showcase his own singing a lot more, plus the rest of his family! "Evil Like Me" is a great one for that, both shows off his high notes and low notes :)
He has sung lower in Kiss and one other song too, can't remember the name.
@@nikelodeon6852 Yes, I know he has gone lower and is just as good low as any other part of his range. I was more commenting on the rarity - he doesn't USUALLY go quite that low. Yes he absolutely can and it's as wonderful as anything else he does - it just is rarer. That's all. :)
@@SeliahK You said you'd never heard him singing that low before so I pointed out where he has sung lower that's all.
I really love the way Cesar hit that A1. Does anybody know what character he’s playing in this? (I’ve seen people mention Geoff is the strong man, Eli is the tall man on stilts, which kind of explains why he’s sitting the way he is), etc.
Cesar's character is W. D. Wheeler, the brother of Zendaya's character, the trapeze artist. Geoff is actually hard to place, cause if you look at the three-legged man he's got the pants, shoes, kind of hair, and mustache of that character, but I don't recall seeing that one with the cape.
@@pennyc7833 And Eli is the “Irish Giant”. In the behind the scenes that the Patreon members got to see Eli took the stilts off and ran back-and-forth across the floor with the ends of the pants flipping out like big giant feet it was absolutely a scream.
Cesar hit an A1? Are you high dude? He's a tenor...
0:05 BASSMR
The main actors/actresses in the movie were Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya, Michelle Williams, and Keala Settle.
I love Trashing the Camp!
I thought the shirt meant you are into bass fishing. Drum slap. You're welcome.
Always enjoy your technical expertise, with a hint of fanboy! By the way, Cesar pronounces his name just like the salad. ;)
You should react to Pentatonix Bohemian Rhapsody
ruclips.net/video/PluaPvhkIMU/видео.html Hugh Jackman during practice had a surgery on his nose and was told to not sing, of course he didn't listen and during a belt actually tore his stitches. You can see it in the video because he keeps throwing his head back and trying to not sniffle.
Super picky correction (that I wouldn't expect you to know). At 13:55 when you mention the high descant during the beatboxing section, that isn't Rachel. It is a voiceover by Elizabeth Garozzo - the same person that did the spirit voiceover for their frozen II Medley. Again, not something I would expect you to know unless you are the type of nerd (like me) that reads the credits section before listening - just want to give the credit where it is due.
I love VoicePlay in every way possible except just for this - that they don’t credit her in the video. I think she should be listed right before the patrons. I thought about it for FrozenII and got a bit disappointed that it didn’t happen here either. It seems that very few people read the credits and so not many people know that she’s the one doing that voice. She has a beautiful voice and I wish people acknowledged her for it!
@@veronicathunander4579 Interesting point. I know that I read the credits and that VoicePlay is better than most about having a credits section to look at in the first place. But yeah, since it is a small, easily missed part and she isn't actually in the video, an acknowledgement on screen would be a good addition. I know that during the Premiere, Layne made a special point to credit her when that moment came up in the video, so there is that.
@@sarahereach Yes, you’re right, I’ve noticed that there are others who don’t even have a credit list, so it’s great that VoicePlay does! I always check it too, I think it’s interesting to know who’s done what and perhaps VoicePlay believes that most people do check it. Perhaps many do! But based on reactions I’ve watched and comments I’ve read, many seem to take for granted that all the voices belong to the people on screen (which of course almost always is the case), even if they suppose that there are others involved regarding video, mixing, lighting etc.
please react to jacob collier!! not a bass singer but an amazing musician who has shaped modern harmony :) enjoy!
Theres a similar effect to the video effect in a song by lindsay stirling and lizzy hale called shatter me. not a bass song but a good one. not the same but similar.
Again, lovely to listen to you and see you doing what you do. So cute, too. Please react Lara Fabian Je suis malade. Everyone who does reacts in yt, does it sooner or later. Do some search but don't listen to eat beforehand. Concert 1999 like every other reactions.
Home Free does a video inside a snow globe for a song of the same name.
Agreed, they definitely should have had an opera singer and song. They ALSO should have kept Jeremy Jordan in the movie instead of Zac Efron. Huge missed opportunity! Also Nsync did one of their hits in the toy store on a little toy stage 😄
You should react to Pentatonix if you haven’t. They’re also an a-capella group and they’re great!
I’ve done many vids for PTX! Love them - if you go to the “Reactions” section on my channel page, you’ll find a bunch
Can you react to Maytree? Maybe you can react to their cover of “Game of Thrones’s” theme (Acapella). Their Bass is amazing!
you NEED to check out Geoff's NEW SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey man, react to Chris Cornell or his bands: Soundgarden, Audioslave or Temple of the dog (say hello 2 heaven live)
Do you also have a Billy Bass on your wall somewhere?
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
You need to react to rammstein,du hast live in Paris.till lindemann has a deep voice
Can you do a reaction to man of constant sorrow by home free please!
Hi Peter. Look for the channel "Lucas Inutilismo" and find the video "2021 em uma música" and "2020 em uma música", I'm pretty sure that you'll like this videos. Lucas does a medley at the end of each year with the popular songs from year.
We watched this video last night and we weren't huge fans of the arrangement. I think they're incredibly talented but we personally didn't enjoy it. I like watching your reaction and analysis, though. While we didn't care for their arrangment, your analysis gives me an appreciation for all the work they put into it. Thank you!
Love Geoff, hate the mustache!!
bass voices are the best Geoff is the bomb
Beat boxing quintuplets
Her name was Jenny lynn.
Lind
Still saying... YOU NEED TO TRY BEATBOXING!!!!!
All in a music box - did I see this before? Maybe not literally, but how about Pentatonix with Papaoutai? ruclips.net/video/ScDIkNcqZjE/видео.html
is it just me, or does geoff look like 1990's Freddy Mercury???
Your channel is awesome, Peter. Fantastic music & videos. I subscribe. Please react to Monica Naranjo - Europa. She's amazing, one of the best female voices in the world. An incredible music metal /rock /opera. Greetings from Spain. Link 😎👇

You're the mean one Mr Grinch , what r you waiting for ? Check also out Never Enough by Morissette Amon and you will drop your jaw .
It's an interesting way of looking at things to think of "never enough" as... well, effectively the movie's "villain" song. The character is pretty awful when you get right down to it, hiding behind this mask of purity, and how she doesn't take a cut of her performances.
