Isn’t this just brilliant. Geoff’s worked long & hard on this arrangement & I think it’s there to see. He’s given everyone just the right solo & the best use of their abilities. They’re all so incredible. I’ve never even seen the show but that never seems to matter with Voiceplay. Geoff’s just dropped his God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen it is epic!!
So good! Must have taken ages!! And yes 😏
@@JenniferGlatzhofer Took Geoff 2 years to get the arrangement right.
@@jimcoogan1529 wow it definitely shows this was so beautiful
I had no idea he worked on this arrangement. He’s extremely talented. It’s one thing to be able to sing, it’s ANOTHER thing to be able to put together an arrangement this complicated! That’s AMAZING.
@@Kaybri0526 He called it his "beast".
Geoff calls this the 4 Yr beast. Took the time and needed the right voices. Cesar is such a brilliant addition to voiceplay
I agree ... I think when they went with Cesar, they could not have chosen better ! 😀
The beat Layne is laying down after Rachel's Flyyyyyyyyyyy in the last song. Has to be one of my favourite things ever!
I love the pickup in beat at "nobody in all of Oz". I can't help but move my head to it.
Eli in his upper range -- nearly alto -- to match a lower female mezzo is insane.
A thing i really love is how Rachel is looking at everyone the whole time. She really looks like having so much fun :D
I keep noticing that too! She is very into the role as Elphaba, and I love it - It makes it very engaging to watch :D
@@Trickpants It's not only here. Also in other Voiceplay clips i have seen with her.
In the BTS video, it was revealed that Rachel had total laryngitis during the shooting of this video. Her acting here, though, was so good! She literally never missed a beat.
I seriously love your reactions to Voiceplay! You are a mix of professorial knowledge and school girl giggles with them, I love it!
Hahaha always! Thank you!
This one is epic. Geoff’s arrangements just keep getting better and better. As does their vocal talents.
Geoff just dropped God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. He and three of his alter egos have a wonderfully different take on this classic song, using all of his wide range and arranging talents, even switching the time signature part way through. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.
So great! And yes, on the list😊
Geoff knocked this out of the park. His Christmas one is amazing too. I loved the cadence with it.
This arrangement is wild! I’m so impressed
So good!!
Don't apologize for pausing, when you're giving us such helpful insight, pointing out the technical and artistic elements that we're too overwhelmed to notice. And thank you for fangirling on my behalf! VoicePlay and Geoff in particular have become my favorites. I love the diversity of their collaborators, who are all incredibly talented singers. They work hard to make it look this easy, but you can see and feel how much fun they're having, and it's contagious.
So much fun! And yes, I agree that they’ve become my favourites too 😊
Geoff said he started this arrangement back in 2013, but couldn't find a way to make it sound as he envisioned it ... until now!! His creativity has no end, we're very spoiled! 😍. Everybody did a wonderful, amazing job! 🔥💯. Most VP arrangements are by Geoff or Layne, and all share the fact that VP adds their own signature to the original, making it almost a new song, their own!! And then those voices!! Perfection!!
Happy to see you enjoyed this so much! Keep up the great work, please check Geoff's God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, you won't be disappointed! 💖
Just wow!! Such a great arrangement!
Fun fact: Eli was doing the bass at Geoff's part
Did you notice in the first part of Good News that Cesar leads with riff going up and then Eli riffing down?
I didn’t think they could do better than Hoist the Colours, but this is so amazing. I love that they each get their moment to shine. And Layne! He just killed it. I love his little extras - popping the bubbles, and that head tilt at Populer-lar. In addition to his amazing vocals, Eli did the lighting. Geoff’s bass notes in the background, along with Layne’s drums keep it all just moving along. And can we talk about just how adorable Cesar is, in addition to his lovely voice? And Rachel and Emoni - each is formidable in their own right, but together … WOW 🤯
Stop all you want. I always learn something.
Yes yes I did! So good 😁 love all the bits your mentioned!
Geoff's arrangement and Eli's lighting. Geoff calls this his seven-minute Beast and was so happy to finely get it done. The BTS video was so funny.
Ah I need to watch that!
Since this is a Masterpeace, Geoff released an other one on his own channel. His Version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is just crazy.
Keep an eye out for it!!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer I will ;)
I very much appreciate all the pauses; you always have some interesting technical details regarding how their voices are being utilized, and I always learn a lot from your commentary. This was such a treat to listen to; we've heard Rachel with VoicePlay quite a lot, but the addition of Emoni as well (who has also done a few collabs with the guys) takes it to another level. Two powerhouse ladies, along with the fellows (who we already know are vocal beasts); how could this be anything other than epic? And Geoff's arrangements (well, Layne's too, but since this is Geoff's piece...) have matured and improved so much lately. They are really refining their art, and let me tell you, I am *here for it*!! I love how they always manage to surprise us, changing things up while still remaining faithful to the original, but still putting that unexpected spin on things that makes the sound wholly and recognizably theirs. They are all such incredible talents, and it's such a joy to be able to listen to each video they put out and appreciate all the work that goes into these productions.
Thank you!! This is just simply amazing and I enjoyed it very much as you can tell! 😊
Great review. Love this group because they have so much fun doing this. And the arrangements, costumes, and lighting get better every time. I have watched your review 3 times because you are just as much fun to watch and your analysis is great. Thank You.
Ah thanks!! It’s so much fun 😁
I keep returning here every once in a while. I love this reaction.
What a great reaction!! I’m glad to hear you talk about Eli-he’s fabulous, isn’t he?
So great!
Eli is so amazing, I'm convinced there's nothing he can't do.
You're still the queen of facial expressions. I tried to mimic your expressions but my face went numb before the halfway mark!
I don’t even realise what i’m doing until I react hahah! 🙈
The part of the arrangement ''..I do believe that I've been changed for the better.. '' until where they transition into the other song - that Emoni and Rachel sing in harmony together - reminded me of the song When You Believe, that Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston dueted. Rachel toured with the National Tour of the Broadway show Wicked, where she played Glinda. I feel like Geoff and Layne both take inspiration from '80s and '90s style of music when they arrange their music. Awesome reaction as always. This song was amazing.
Oh yes! Good spot!! So great😊
Wow what an arrangement! They all sound amazing! They're just too talented.
So much talent!!
I have no words! I love wicked and Geoff did an incredible job arranging this. Rachel and Emily were the perfect choices too.
This performance is epic, yes, but I enjoyed Ms. Glatzhofer's reaction above all else. To see someone getting such joy is some kind of ultimate reward. To paraphrase slightly, I'm better for knowing, however vicariously, her euphoria.
Ah thank you hahah!! It honestly blew me away!
I love your reactions Jen. Stop as much as you like (as if you need my say-so). I feel educated after each video.
I've heard a lot of reactors... I have settled on 3: The Charismatic Voice, Julia Nilon and you. You're easily as engaging as the other 2, more established, channels! Keep up the great work (please).
Thank you very much! Honoured to be along the two great channels you mentioned😁
I just love your personality! You seem like the kindest, funniest person ever!
Aw thank you! 🥰
This was so good. And Lane's beat boxing - some of his best! Loved it Jen. You do such an excellent job of breaking down the singing and explaining how they do what they do. Absolutely marvelous!
Ah thank you Tim 😊
Nice reaction. Thank you! I appreciate the musical knowledge I can glean listening to you. I believe you will thoroughly enjoy some additional collaborations Voice Play has done with Rachel Potter, all very theatrical. Little Mermaid, Moana, Phantom of the Opera.
Thank you! 😁
I was really hoping you would react to this! I’m excited
Loved it!😊
I loved your reactions as much as I do the Wicked video. When you pause it is never wasted, your comments are always informative and enjoyable.
Ah thank you very much!
I imagine the note that Geoff hits at the end of Oogey Boogey is the sound that all of creation cried out when Geoff hit puberty
Jennifer - very nicely done & no it wasn't too long ..... Would you please consider listening to and evaluating Morgan James .... I would suggest "Angel from Montgomery" and "Dream on" (Post Modern Jukebox cover feat. Morgan) ....... Thanks and keep them coming.
The best review and recovery so far, EXCELLENT, thanks
Awesome reaction. Definitely one of their best performances.
Also check out Voiceplay - Bang, We're good, if I were a rich man/girl, Halo theme song, Queen in 5 minutes.
And, since we're in the Christmas period, check out Voiceplay - you're a mean one Mr Grinch
Truly enjoyed watching your reaction and analysis of these songs. I love this play so much.
This reaction I somehow missed at the time. Got it now 👍 I too am a fan of dissonance (or as one of my choir instructors called them.. The crunchy notes) ❤
As always, awesome reaction and analysis so understandable for an untrained ear(me that is) your knowledge and explanations are sooooo good like the best iv seen, can't wait for ur next voiceplay experience 😀
Ah thanks so much!
I was planning on seeing Wicked in March this year while it was on tour, but I got covid. Bummer. Would give almost anything to hear VoicePlay do the whole play.
Thank you for your reaction. I appreciate your break down which I always learn something new. I'm glad you loved it.
Thank you 😁
I understand that Geoff took years arranging this one. And the result is well worth the time spent. I see that Rachel understudied Glinda in the official touring production of Wicked. You need to see Geoff's new one: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Epic.
Ah wow! Yes, the result is incredible 😁
Yeah I heard Rachel understudied Glinda too, but from this performance I really think Elphaba would suit her really well too. She's got so much talent and brings a lot of power. She's good at those edgy roles too, I liked her performance as the human form of Ursula in the Little Mermaid medley too.
@@alexbeesley7971 Yes she is clearly versatile. I think that performing with VP you have to be an all rounder.
You have to be my favorite reactor to this medley, and it feels like I've watched most of them. You're pointing out things I had missed and show genuine passion and well articulated explanations to all these incredible harmonies and arrangement nuances. Love it! Keep up the good work!
Ah thank you!! One of my favourite reactions to film so far 😊
Just saw this and I loved all the parts you pointed out! I really appreciate it when people give us actual analyses of the beauty of VP. I love learning more about how they're doing it.
Please, please, tell me you're going to do their new one, The Greatest Showman medley?! I subscribed specifically for more Voiceplay reactions from you.
Thank you!! I have some reactions lined up BUT! I haven’t watched their Greatest Showman medley yet… so it’ll come 😁
Lovely to see Rachel again, she is in my favorite VoicePlay and Voctave songs (Moana and Mermaid with VP, Poor Unfortunate Souls with Voctave). And Wicked is one of my favorite Broadway experieence. Bravo Jen!
Good looking, witty, funny, very knowledgeable, personable, cute, and all one wants to be around but enough about me. We love you too Jennifer! Another fun video with great explanations! You always make my day better. So glad you just had to try that low note!
😂😂 best comment over here hahah! Thank you 😊 and yes... I did try AGAIN!
Technically you can do subharmonics like geoff does, just with the range you have. He has videos talking about how to sing low and he answers questions. He didn’t know if women could even do subharmonics. In a qna, he said that some said they could. And yea. I’m curious to see if you can nail it, it’s taken me 3-4 years to get subs and even now I can’t do them well. Then again, hormone therapy made me have to relearn how to sing. 🤧 anyways. Love the video! I look forward to future videos of VP and Geoff from you. :)
Oh amazing! Thank you 😁
@@JenniferGlatzhofer ofc! :D
Brilliant!! Love your Voiceplay reactions. Please react to Geoff’s new Christmas cover of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen!!
Hi Jennifer! I knew you'd just be blown away by this amazing medley - such an epic arrangement! 😍
So good 😍
This was stunning. As I understand, Rachel has sung this part on stage and Emoni (E-Mahon-ee) has sung with VoicePlay on tour before. They always get such great guest singers. I really enjoyed your analysis, especially about voice placement. It is very helpful. Thanks for your reaction
Ah thanks!! 😊
Voctave, Where Are You Christmas!!!
I love rachel in the moana medley too. This medley is really good 😊😊
8:12
Nice "bass." 😋😋😋😋😋😋
Love your reactions to VP!
I know Geoff gets a lot of credit already, but all these songs sound awesome because of his background beating/humming. it makes everyone's voice sound extra full and rich without being intrusive.
These things are never long enough!
I don’t know why, but in Defying Gravity, Geoff’s arm movements are so funny to me 🤣
Ah, I shall go back!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer you may not find it as funny, my sense of humor is insane. It just looks like he was trying to row a boat at one point
He says that if they tied his hands he couldn’t sing. 😀
I feel Layne doesn't get enough camera time nor credit for his work, amazing sounds!
You are not whistling Dixie about educational. Music & life. I love to looking & listening to you. Listening to the song is like a pause. Love your charisma.
Love luv and louv this
I love love love Voiceplay and everyone is so freaking talented my god Eli but this video missed J.None.
react to gabriel henrique!! singing O Holy Night!! You will be surprised!
Reds- My Mother Told Me and Hoist the Colors.
I have to admit, I've become fairly obsessed with "For Good" lately. Any chance you and your girl might be doing something with it? (Waiting...)
home free are fantastic take a listen
How about Home Free -- Cold Hard Cash for Christmas
Please react to Little Mix - Between Us Live in Graham Norton🥺✨
Suggestion: Gabriel Henrique Brazilian singer
I hope you're ok! It must be painful to have that C# stuck in your first passage! :)
😂😂 you are on a roll today ahah!
Hi Jenn. First I was thinking that in England, they probably don't call you Jenn, but Jennifer, Here in the US you would have been Jenn from when you were little. That is because here in the US we don't know how to speak the English language, we are lazy and were pigs ( I am teasing lol ) I am hoping I didn't offend you. In any case I am very impressed with the A Capella groups including the ones you do. ( Pentatonix, Home Free , Voctave). I am a little less familiar with Voice Play but it is interesting that they are from the Orlando, Florida area as well as Voctave ? I live on the west coast of Florida, and moved here from the Midwest and in a general sense. Florida is not a haven for great or even good musicians. LA, Nashville, New York are more known for that. I think I need to apologize to you for recommending Voctave. When I first listened to that Voctave clip and thought " If Jennifer is going to listen to this ,she is going to fall over dead ?" lol It has all the Jennifer things in it. It had tilts and suspended and augmented chords ( you refer to them as crunchy) that resolve. It has Kate Lott, that ridiculous soprano singing those beautiful parts. Did it check all the Jennifer boxes ? Probably ? One a scale of 1 to 10 , how would you rate that arrangement ? Probably an 11 ? You didn't have a chance and it was cruel for me to recommend it. You could have seriously hurt yourself listening to that. I fell like I came up to a known alcoholic and gave them a bottle of 151 rum. It was cruel and I am very sorry. Thanks Jennifer We love you. With love from Florida
Ah people call me Jen here 😊 and don’t apologise!! Love Voctave, will be doing more reactions soon! There’s just so much talent to watch 😁
Dimash - Ikanaide

Elle is a baritone too. all of them have a ridiculous range
