Such a rock-solid foundation from the 10 supporting singers. 'Impeccable' is the only word that does it justice. Special shout out to the basses and to Tiffany for that high pedal note
You have to do O Come, O Come Emmanuel/The First Noel/I Wonder As I Wander. That way Kate can knock you off your feet the same way EJ did!!! It's INCREDIBLE!
Chris, I have been following Voctave since their beginning and drove over two hours to see them live in Boerne, Texas in December. Can you imagine hearing this song, sung live, trying to keep your composure in an auditorium filled with other people. It was difficult. There is very little differentiation from their live performance to their post-production videos on RUclips. Hats off to their on-the-road sound crew because their live microphone mix was just amazing. If you can ever see them live, do it. Such professionalism and literally the best at what they do. I'm a drummer and just stunned by them.
James, I've heard them sing this live half a dozen tunes and I have sobbed each time. Each time. So I totally get your reaction--and your willingness to drive to see them; I've done 6 hr road trips for their concerts. Worth every damn penny of gasoline
One thing I think that does NOT get the recognition deserved is the absolutely spectacular arrangements by Jamie Ray. His arrangements are always beyond gorgeous and always absolutely perfect for each and every voice in Voctave. Powerful every time. The man is an acapella arranging genius - and a fine singer, too!
I know this was composed and performed on earth. i *know* that. I *feel* the angels surrounding and supporting this group, and perhaps taking a lesson or two in how to perform praise music. This is heavenly.
Besides all of Voctave being technically proficient singers (ALL OF THEM), they are all great story tellers. EJ knocked it out of the park on this one. Loved your reaction as it went through the climax of the song. The ending even though I have heard it hundreds of times still makes me smile.
Holy spirit, indeed! EJ is a beast. Tiffany and Tony can also do some jaw-dropping sustained notes, and the new guy, Drew Ochoa, does an impressive sustain in their latest release. Mark Lowry does similar sustains in their Mary Did You Know and he does it TWICE! Mind-boggling.
@@nikelodeon6852 Back left. He did a lot of Voctave's musical direction (you can see him conducting in some earlier vids). He stepped away last year and Drew took his place. 4x barbershop world champion and fantastic human being
@@nikelodeon6852 he has solos on silent night, and short solos on a few other songs. Anything you can do is the song that has him and Tiffany holding notes for 30 seconds.
EJ (I got it right this time 😂) is just an incredible vocal talent. Just an amazing voice. He has only done on collaboration with VP, but he was so good with them that I wish he would do another. Voctave is just an incredible group.
A fun one for you is BYU Vocal Point doing Trans Siberian Orchestra's Sarajevo. Other goodies: Piano Guys: O Come O Come Emmanuel Peter Hollens December Song Kids tell the Christmas Story (not music... just cute) The Piano Guys with Peter Hollens and David Archeletto Angel's From The Realms of Glory
That soloist has the lung capacity of a WHALE. Not only did he hold that last note forever, he modulated up a fifth and held THAT! CRUSHED IT!
He is EJ Carson's...see Go The Distance as a guest with Voiceplay.
EJ Cardona ...cursed autocorrect!
And this Voctave rendition and your reaction were superbly on point!
De tenor van the Ringmasters kan dat ook als een beest. Ook een aanrader!
don't think I've ever heard a more heartfelt version ever

When we get to heaven, this will be what we hear.

This!
I agree totally Chris. My thought was this must be what the angels sound like in heaven. It makes every hair on my body stand up. Thank you Voctave!
What an Amazing Arrangement! Awesome Cord Changes! Beautiful Praise Song!
RIGHT!

Completely agree!!
Now u know why that is my favorite Christmas song from them :)
Love the reaction!

I LOVE watching reactors when they realize that he is STILL going.
Now watch voctave disney love melody

Unbelievable. No other word for it.
That last note is 25!! Seconds😅😍
Love your reactions 🙏🏻
Another great reaction! I was waiting for the moment things would start to fly through the air...and you did not disappoint me😉

Who's Tony?

@@4partharmony208 I've never seen him take a solo ever... which song was this?
@@nikelodeon6852 A Million Dreams. Doesn't really show his posting skills, but great solo

“HooOoolllly Spirit!” Lolol😂

It was great fun watching your reaction!! Thank you! Happy holidays.
Hey I'm a new subscriber but love watching your videos
Thanks for subscribing, Jacob! I'm glad you enjoy :)
Not bad for a bunch of barbershop quartet & chorus singers !!!
5:17 when the penny drops and you realize what's coming next!
LOL! Master of understatement I see.... (that last part where you said, 'well that's great.') Too funny!
You must review O Come All Ye Faithful by Pentatonix. Blows every other version by anyone out of the water. Period!
Reacted to it a couple days ago, check it out! :)
@@creativecrewfam I've looked on your channel and can't find it anywhere, even with a specific search.
You should check out the crystal river boys rainbow of love

They are great, but I think Pentstonix did this song, well maybe not better but great in a different way very upbeat.
React this same Song But pentatonix version
