For more incredible EJ, my favourite performance is "O come all Ye Faithful" by Voctave. 😍 You may want to do it closer to Christmas or not, up to you 🤗
@@TempleMusicAcademy thank you for another great reaction to Voice Play. Would you please do reaction videos of Voice Plays cover song... Carry On My Wayward Son & Dream on ? In Dream On their newest member is Cesar, the guy with the big hair. He is the one that hits the high note at the end of Dream On. Voice Plays cover song Mr. Blue Sky is also awesome. Voice Play are known as The Theater Kids & are avery theatrical acapella group in a lot of their songs. Queen In 5 Minutes is a perfect example of that. Thank you.
That chord-stacking technique you mention at the end is classic barbershop tag-arranging. Also, as others have mentioned, EJ is a longtime member of powerhouse acapella ensemble Voctave. Please check them out, you're in for some seriously good ear candy.
I agree, DJ. I thought that I'd seen you react to Voctave. But if you haven't... RABBIT HOLE!!! No beat boxer and a slightly larger group but, like VoicePlay, a little more theatrical than Home Free or Pentatonix. Lots of Disney and Christmas. EJ is phenomenal. Plus they have one of the best sopranos that I have ever heard in Kate Lott. Check out their "Disney Love Medley" featuring Kirsten Maldonado from Pentatonix. Their "O Come, All Ye Faithful" is also a huge crowd favorite. But you'll lose your cool when you hear their "Great Movie Medley."
You need to listen to VoicePlay featuring DeeJay Young "Bang." So many modulations and crazy 3 part harmony cord runs! So clean. He was also featured in Hamilton.
Hey DJ. Great reaction! I really like the way you explain the technical "stuff". EJ Cardona is AMAZING. He's a part of Voctave, don't know if you have reacted to them? Wrong season, but he really shines on "Oh come all ye faithful". Love how much you love the acapella.
@@TempleMusicAcademy Oh you need to check out their Disney Love Medley featuring Kirstie Maldonado of Pentatonix, and their Mary Did You Know with Mark Lowry (the composer).
I truly enjoy watching your reaction vids. I don't always comment, but I must this time. The break down and education I get from your vids is a real blessing. Plenty of reaction channels where they act all crazy or over the top to get clicks. You use your knowledge, which in my view, is far more effective. Keep the greatness coming man. Appreciate what you bring to the RUclips world. Of course, VoicePlay killing it with EJ Cardona.
Just found you and really enjoy what you do and how you do it. Was a bit disappointed you missed tuning in to some of the interesting things Layne was doing, but with VoicePlay there is always so much going on, it's easy for the ear to miss things. Would love a reaction to Geoff's cover of "Blackbird". His arrangement is lovely and it showcases his incredible voice range and quality
What a treat! VoicePlay, fantastic in their own right, featuring EJ from Voctive. If you want more of EJ, check out Voctive, an incredible 11 member a cappella group (no beat boxer) that typically employs 8 and 9 part harmonies in their arrangements. It's like a vocal symphony. You will not be disappointed. EJ is featured in their rendition of O Come All Ye Faithful. They do a Disney Princess Medley that features each of their five female vocalists that will knock your socks off. I look forward to more of your reactions.
I love harmonies that give me chills, goosebumps, and sometimes tears! But am I the only one that actually "itches" when everything hits just right? It's like the next stage past perfection. If that makes any sense.
Loved this reaction and breakdown! I adore VoicePlay and thought this performance was just fantastic - they all knocked it out of the park. Such a sweet and uplifting song. (By the way, just a gentle suggestion, but it might be good to have a link to the original video for whoever you're reacting to in the description box somewhere so it's quick and easy for your followers to find. I think it's just a courtesy thing for the artists)
EJ is with the a capella group Voctave. If you've never heard Voctave, you need to react to (or at least listen to) some of their music. They are fabulous. I high recommend O Come All Ye Faithful, where EJ takes the lead.
I'll echo it here: you have to check out voctave's O Come All Ye Faithful for a showcase of EJ's prowess. Voctave as a group would be a great addition to upper react repertoire: Disney Showstopper Medley, Mary Did You Know ft Mark Lowery, The Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame (mashup) are good starters!
EJ’s regular group is Voctave as others have said, my own personal favorite video that Vocative has done is a mash- up of Carol of the bells and the Bells of Norte Dame. you should listen to it it’s awesome
Great reaction, you should also check out Pentatonix 90s Dance Medly, Come Along and Making Christmas. Home Free Sea Shanty medly. Peter Hollens Skyrim Theme (Full version and one with Lindsey Sterling), Hobbits Drinking Song, Durins Song and Misty Mountain (he has 2 versions one with Tim from Home Free). VoicePlay Light bulb and Death of a Batchelor. Superfruit Defying Gravity, Frozen Melody, Rise and Future Friends (title song and everything on the album).
Amazing and educational video, as always! I hope you will also be posting a reaction to Geoff's new cover of Take Me Home Country Roads - I'd love to hear your take
I love your comments and videos! I was looking for voiceplay reactions, and after your Oogie boogie video i subscribed :) I would love to see your reaction to their disneys medleys, they made The little mermaid medley and Moana medley, the Ariel is super awesome! The female singer, Rachel, was actually singing as Ariel in Disney world for several years, and her voice is so spot on, you are checking if you watch the movie or voiceplay :D
New. Just found you. And a lot of these great a capella bands. The melding is so heart yanking. Overwhelming and beautiful. But I'm wondering, where's the Home Free? I rank Voiceplay, Home Free and Pentatonix as my three faves. But maybe that's because I love a beautiful bass. I'm here for the bass. Tim, Geoff and Avi.
Hi! Know busy, but haven't heard you doing any Voiceplay lately. Just a few (not all) to choose from: Tennessee Whiskey Shape of You/No Diggity House of The Rising Sun (Geoff) If I Were a Rich Man My Mother Told Me Mission: Jingle Bells | VoicePlay Queen in 5 minutes Man in the mirror Superstition
Hi Venus! I’ll get back to voiceplay soon, I just got a bit burnt out with their copyrights and blocks. So we switched gears a bit and focused on some other artists. I’ll make my way back eventually!
Great reaction. Your screen is a tad too small. Can't see your facial reactions. Thanks for enlarging when you pause to talk about it. But I really enjoy seeing peoples faces during reactions.
Fantastic reaction. Can you react to VoicePlays song. Warrior (imagine Dragons) please its amazing. Layne beatboxes while playing a violin at the same time xx
Home Free has some new releases that may interest you; their covers of Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues, and Percy Sledge's When A Man Loves A Woman. Sure wish you would react to more of their songs, their catalogue is over 130 original and cover performances. Thanks!
@@TempleMusicAcademy I can guarantee that if you react to Home Free your number of subscribers will go up. That said, I hope you react to them because you like their music. Hope to see you again soon. ✌️😎
They are great but, I feel like Eli, Jay and, EJ are too similar. The female of Rachel Potter adds more to the group. Eli can get pretty high but, its that clear high Metzo/soprano that Earl gave but is missing, just a little, in this piece.
Ej sings with voctave. If you haven’t heard them EJ will blow you away when they sing oh come all ye faithful!
I was just going to say the same thing
EJ 's brother, Omar, performed with Voiceplay in "Carry On My Wayward Son"💜💜💜
Seriously!? That's really cool to know!
And Superstition!
And EJs wife sang with Geoff in Mele Kalekemaka!
Voctave and Voiceplay collided here and I’m in heaven
For more incredible EJ, my favourite performance is "O come all Ye Faithful" by Voctave. 😍 You may want to do it closer to Christmas or not, up to you 🤗
what a great idea!! I should do another christmas bash this coming year!
Don't wait.. Do it NOW!!!

In addition to Wendi's suggestions, check out Voctave's Disney Princess Medley which features all 5 female's voices
EJ sang with VP a year later in "I can't make you love me." Very touching rendition. Loved it.
You need to listen to VoicePlay featuring DeeJay Young "Bang." So many modulations and crazy 3 part harmony cord runs! So clean. He was also featured in Hamilton.
EJ Is the tenor of Voctave... it's time to another collaboration between Voctave and Voiceplay!!!!
I just love the chromatics at the end.
Hey DJ. Great reaction!
I really like the way you explain the technical "stuff".
EJ Cardona is AMAZING. He's a part of Voctave, don't know if you have reacted to them? Wrong season, but he really shines on "Oh come all ye faithful".
Love how much you love the acapella.
I knew he looked familiar but I just couldn't place it! I haven't done much Voctave aside from Mr. Grinch. Hope to get to see them more!
O. M. G. You HAVE to react to Voctave's Prince of Egypt medley!!
@@TempleMusicAcademy Oh you need to check out their Disney Love Medley featuring Kirstie Maldonado of Pentatonix, and their Mary Did You Know with Mark Lowry (the composer).
@@susanbradley5685 That song is amazing!!! Their new guy’s voice is perfect for the part. And can we talk about the Hebrew part? Spot on perfection.
Their arrangements are genius! Very creative and powerful. I love this one very much!
Thanks for a great reaction!

Any chance youll be doing Geoff's new video of Take me Home Country Roads? Would love to see you do it!
Totally!! I should get that one done next! Please never stop reminding me until I get to it! haha.
@@TempleMusicAcademy Peter Hollens and Adam Chance also released a version of Take me Home Country Roads about a week after Geoff's. Both very good.

Emotional response triggering a physical reaction. 100% legit!!

Have you seen Voiceplay's cover of "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles? It's so freaking cool!!! You should check it out if you haven't seen it yet!
An other masterpiece of Voiceplay and guest ❤️
Great harmonies. Great tribute to this piece.
EJ is with the a capella group Voctave. If you've never heard Voctave, you need to react to (or at least listen to) some of their music. They are fabulous. I high recommend O Come All Ye Faithful, where EJ takes the lead.
You think EJ's "hold" here is great, just listen to his holds in O Come All Ye Faithful. As you said, he's phenomenal (as are all members of Voctave).
Voctave is very big on that chord stacking you mentioned, which is the acapella group where EJ comes from.
Great reaction as usual! Thanks for doing this one.
Excellent reaction again. I love the way you explain what you hear. I love Geoff's new cover "Country Roads Take Me Home" I bet you will too.
Now this is one of my favorites
I'll echo it here: you have to check out voctave's O Come All Ye Faithful for a showcase of EJ's prowess.
Voctave as a group would be a great addition to upper react repertoire: Disney Showstopper Medley, Mary Did You Know ft Mark Lowery, The Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame (mashup) are good starters!
I love the last note that they hold at the very end! that is my favorite part of the whole song!
I love that cover!
That looks like the dude from voctave who held a note in a Christmas song for like a minute and a half 😂
Would love to see your reaction to Voiceplay "My Mother Told Me "
EJ’s regular group is Voctave as others have said, my own personal favorite video that Vocative has done is a mash- up of Carol of the bells and the Bells of Norte Dame. you should listen to it it’s awesome
I love Pentatonix and that's who these guys remind me of....if you have yet to check them out they perform some Queen..
Voiceplay do stack chords, for sure. Very well, as you said. The "ladder" at the end is Geoff ascending though.
Don’t know if you noticed but Geoff actually went down all the way to a d1 there was a d2 stacked on top of it but still pretty ridiculous
Great reaction, you should also check out Pentatonix 90s Dance Medly, Come Along and Making Christmas.
Home Free Sea Shanty medly.
Peter Hollens Skyrim Theme (Full version and one with Lindsey Sterling), Hobbits Drinking Song, Durins Song and Misty Mountain (he has 2 versions one with Tim from Home Free).
VoicePlay Light bulb and Death of a Batchelor.
Superfruit Defying Gravity, Frozen Melody, Rise and Future Friends (title song and everything on the album).
Just here to echo everyone else that is mentioning O Come All Ye Faithful from Voctave. You want to hear EJ hold? You ain't heard nothing yet.
A great reaction thank you ptx released a new one at the same time would love to see you react to it
90s medley 🙂
Please do more Home Free and Voiceplay reactions. I would love to hear your take on more.
Talk to ya next Monday. Watch it go!
Verynice reaction. Please react to PTX'S 90s dance medley!
Amazing and educational video, as always! I hope you will also be posting a reaction to Geoff's new cover of Take Me Home Country Roads - I'd love to hear your take

There’s some home free on the channel! I’m still trying to organize it better :)
EJ is also Omar Cardona’s brother. The lad from VP’s “Superstitious” and “Wayward Son.”
Bow ties are cool
@@zitriphyer8429 So are fezzes! 😜
@@DravenGal 😄
you have seen e j cardona before. he is a tenner from voctave...
I’m not in love with the camera work on this one, but the arrangement and vocals are, as usual, amazing.
Please look at Geoff's cover of High and Dry. I think you'd be presently surprised
Hi!
Know busy, but haven't heard you doing any Voiceplay lately.
Just a few (not all) to choose from:
Tennessee Whiskey
Shape of You/No Diggity
House of The Rising Sun (Geoff)
If I Were a Rich Man
My Mother Told Me
Mission: Jingle Bells | VoicePlay
Queen in 5 minutes
Man in the mirror
Superstition
Hi Venus! I’ll get back to voiceplay soon, I just got a bit burnt out with their copyrights and blocks. So we switched gears a bit and focused on some other artists. I’ll make my way back eventually!
How to say I am married to disney nerd without thecnically say "I am married to disney nerd"
Not complaining.... too much ;)
Also check out EJ with Voctave on Let There Be Peace on Earth. Hope you enjoy! ruclips.net/video/oXreNYWtjPQ/видео.html
You are a mega analytical reactor.
I would love to see you react to Tomi P's bass cover of Hellfire! I think he covers 6 octaves. It's a masterpiece
You should also check Citizen Queen, 5 amazing female voices.
Could you please do a review of VoicePlay’s Bang! Featuring Deejay Young? I would really like your take on how he fits with the group. Thanks.
You should totally check out 25, by The Pretty Reckless. I'm sure you won't regret it :)
Great reaction. Your screen is a tad too small. Can't see your facial reactions. Thanks for enlarging when you pause to talk about it. But I really enjoy seeing peoples faces during reactions.
why is no reactor embracing Geoffs last note? It could be production but it sounds lower than OOgioe Boogie song or around there
I think I saw that it was a D1, which would be lower than Oogie Boogie.
Fantastic reaction. Can you react to VoicePlays song. Warrior (imagine Dragons) please its amazing. Layne beatboxes while playing a violin at the same time xx
Home Free has some new releases that may interest you; their covers of Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues, and Percy Sledge's When A Man Loves A Woman. Sure wish you would react to more of their songs, their catalogue is over 130 original and cover performances. Thanks!
That’s a great idea! I really like this group so maybe I’ll dedicate a while to their catalogue :)
@@TempleMusicAcademy I can guarantee that if you react to Home Free your number of subscribers will go up. That said, I hope you react to them because you like their music. Hope to see you again soon. ✌️😎
Please react to Voiceplay "I Can't Make You Love Me" I want to see/your reaction.
Another VoicePlay idea - My Mother Told Me..... and I don't even LIKE Sea Shanties.... ruclips.net/video/bs4ZJpWJh_Q/видео.html
I appreciate your thoughtful reaction, but there's something super wonky with the frame rate. Just me? Was messing with my eyes.
You'll want to see EJ in this one: ruclips.net/video/CljN1YIxHiI/видео.html
