Geoff is part of a group called Voiceplay and EVERYTHING they do is amazing, but one of the best is the Oogie Boogie Song cover from Nightmare Before Christmas.
Voiceplay is a group that Geoff is part of. "Oogie Boogie" he shows off his 5 octave range. The dude is a vocal beast. They have tons of awesome songs.
If you really want to see Geoff and his range,, his cover of the Beatles’ “Blackbird” and John Denver’s “Take Me Home,, Country Roads” are both worth the listen !
Voiceplay (acapella) has quite a few vids uploaded. You can react to them, along with Pentatonix and Home Free. They do a wide variety of stuff, but kinda specialize in Disney and showtunes. Voiceplay's lineup for a number of years has been Earl Elkins, high tenor; Eli Jacobson, low tenor; JNone, baritone; Geoff Castellucci, bass; and Layne Stein, beatboxer and occasional additional singer. But last year the group lost Earl, and he still hasn't been permanently replaced. Plus, there were the COVID restrictions. So, Voiceplay did a limited number of new vids last year, and used various guest artists (male and female) in the open spot. And, Geoff started doing solo music vids. In most of them, he just multitracks all the parts himself. Now, the group is losing JNone as well. He's going into the Navy. I hope Voiceplay survives and bounces back strong.
As some of the others said, Geoff is the bass singer for the 3rd of the big 3 Acapella groups, VoicePlay. Pentatonix, Home Free, and Voiceplay are all incredible. You really do need to hear some of Geoff's music along with a heaping helping of VoicePlay's music
Geoff is the bass in the acapella group VoicePlay, who are excellent and you definitely should react to them. Besides his solo stuff (which other people are already recommending!) I recommend VoicePlay's medleys, especially Queen and Moana, and also Warriors, Can't Help Falling In Love, and Kiss.
I love bass voices. Geoff Is from Voice Play and Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix (until 2017) and Tim Foust from Home Free are three of the very best basses in my opinion. These 3 guys sing like dragons from the depths of th earth, and each of them have huge vocal ranges and can surprise us by singing in the tenor range too. If ever they were to collaborate on one song it would be epic!
Avi hasn't sung in Pentatonix for a couple years now, and Matt Sallee, the guy who replaced him, should probably be part of this conversation. But Geoff is pretty awesome. I like all four of them. A lot.
@@67kemo you're right, I should have mentioned that Avi Kaplan had left PTX in 2017. I do like Matt, and he has a beautiful voice. In my opinion, he is not a bass singer like the three I mentioned in my comment above, which is why I left him out of it. I do think Matt does add to the Pentatonix sound quite nicely. He definitely has a good connection with the other members of PTX and makes beautiful music and harmony with them. This is all just my opinion.
@@rosedouglas9586 The only point I'll disagree on is I do think Matt belongs in the discussion. Some of the features they've done with him seal the deal, in my book. I honestly think that Matt is just a bit too humble to rumble at this point. I think he'll be a real "name" in five or ten years, though. And, like you, this is just my opinion. I appreciate the civility of disagreement without negativity.
Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci train. It is a very pleasant ride, and you've found a very fine station to get on at. Though, to be honest, there's not really a bad place to get onto the train. You'll want to connect with him on VoicePlay as well. He really does work with an amazingly skilled group of people. Though, a little over a year ago, there was a departure from the group, and right now, another member of the group is in the process of departing the group. Still, they do amazingly well with guest singers... they never turn in a bad performance.
The thing that I like about surfing around RUclips is when I stumble upon someone like you. I'm an old guy in the farthest corner of the northwest w/ little to nothing in common w/ you or your life up to now. Yet somehow you ended up reacting to a performance I've been kind of shadowing... and it turns out you & I have a common appreciation of letting ourselves enjoy a fun, talented group w/out all the bs that age and all the other crap puts in the way to create some kind of devision. Too cool... Subscribed. Now, check these guys out in the other stuff they have online. Geoff (base) is one of maybe half a dozen on the planet who has the capacity to sing in a 5 octive range. Just chase him and Ari and Tim online... it's fun.
I love how you're getting beyond the envelope of standard POP and getting in to A Capella. I certainly can't picture any rappers or hard rockers even getting close to Geoff's notes and you pronounce bass as Base, unless it's the fish - then you say bass/ Next should be either the original version or his Take Me Home, Country Road (the John Denver song or are you too young to know it), but great reaction
To get a good reference, I think Tennessee Ernie ford first did this song, then a few years back Billy Gibbons ( ZZ Top ) and Jeff Beck did this, each has their own great sound... check it out
Tim Faust himself has said that Geoff Castellucci might well be the lowest voice in music right now, and says that the truth i, Geoff Castellucci can go lower than he (that is, Tim himself) can go. Geoff disagrees, but Tim keeps saying it. The two of them are friends and have helped each other with video production in the past. In addition to checking out Geoff's solo work, check out the videos he's done with his group Voiceplay.
"I owe my soul to the company store" Young people, if they aren't into labor history, may not know this. In the dark days that this song stems from, miners would be "paid" in company coin that could only be spent at the company store. The prices were inflated to the point that miners would end up in debt just working. The coal mines had extremely cheap labor as a result.
What I didn't see up top is that this song represents a historical reality that was basically debt slavery. You see, back in the day many mining firms didn't pay their miners in money, but in company scrip, and the only place that would accept it as payment for anything was a store run by the company, which gave them monopoly power over pricing. Since the stores extended credit when their money ran out, getting into debt was easy, and getting out basically impossible. There was no racism in this system of slavery, in all but name, and since the miners lived what seemed to outsiders to be a hard life, but that was the lot of the poor. They couldn't see the debt-peonage parts, nor the fact that since parents had no money to get their kids out, it affected generations. Brutal shit, and there's much more, but history lesson over. That said, this is a song revealing a brutal truth, and Ford's original performances are a must to really "get it". Then take some time to absorb it, and then go watch the cover by Billy Gibbons and Jeff Beck. They put a lot more snarling anger into it than the other two, which'll get you even closer to the historical reality of living in that slavery system. I'd be angry a lot, too.
I guarantee their covers of Kansas' "Carry on my Wayward Son" ruclips.net/video/evG28VVz4dY/видео.html and Imagine Dragons' "Warriors" ruclips.net/video/DNh6_XubM2A/видео.html will amaze.

their video of My Mother Told Me from Assassin's Creed is seriously **BAD ASS**
Yeah, I listen to Oogie Boogie a LOT. Geoff is awesome.
What you need to hear is, MY MOTHER TOLD ME by voiceplay he's frightening 😆
Cosign this, it's a GREAT arrangement and I'd love to see Adogg's reaction!
You want to be blown away? Try "My mother told me" by Voiceplay. Geoff's regular gig.
Voiceplay is a group that Geoff is part of. "Oogie Boogie" he shows off his 5 octave range. The dude is a vocal beast. They have tons of awesome songs.
Can you imagine Avi Kaplan, Tim from Home Free, and Geoff on a song together?! 🤯 This song written and performed by Tennessee Ernie Ford
That could potentially cause a seismic event.
Ford's version was a cover. The original was written and first performed by Merle Travers.
@@squiresam Thanks, did not know that. 😊
I don't think our eardrums can handle all the basses in one song
I wish I could like this comment 100 times... I'd LOVE to hear those 3 sing together!
If you really want to see Geoff and his range,, his cover of the Beatles’ “Blackbird” and John Denver’s “Take Me Home,, Country Roads” are both worth the listen !
Blackbird is SO beautiful ❤
@@helgatornkvizt5412 Oh absolutely 100% agree
Geoff has a fabulous voice. Love his cover of High and Dry.❤♨️
Voiceplay (acapella) has quite a few vids uploaded. You can react to them, along with Pentatonix and Home Free. They do a wide variety of stuff, but kinda specialize in Disney and showtunes.

His cover of The Headless Horseman is great too and really fun!
All the others’ recommendations are excellent - didn’t see THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN - also great!
Geoff Castelucci is one of a kind ❤. Absolutely amazing. His vocal range is enormous!
If you like The Nightmare Before Christmas, his a capella group Voice Play has done several covers of the songs from the movie.
Tennessee Ernie Ford did this song when I was a kid. Geoff does it proudly!
WHAT!!!! Never heard of this dude, but he's good!
I love bass voices. Geoff Is from Voice Play and Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix (until 2017) and Tim Foust from Home Free are three of the very best basses in my opinion. These 3 guys sing like dragons from the depths of th earth, and each of them have huge vocal ranges and can surprise us by singing in the tenor range too. If ever they were to collaborate on one song it would be epic!
It would also destroy any sound system that was forced to broadcast it.
Avi hasn't sung in Pentatonix for a couple years now, and Matt Sallee, the guy who replaced him, should probably be part of this conversation. But Geoff is pretty awesome. I like all four of them. A lot.

He and the group Voiceplay are incredibly versatile and sing songs in almost every genre. Well worth checking out.
Two more of Geoff's single person groups are Country Roads and Bare Necessities.
Also Blackbird
Don't forget Headless Horseman!
OOGIE BOOGIE MAN BY VOICEPLAY!!!

Geoff is a force of nature. Definitely check out Oogie Boogie song and be prepared for the last note

Geoff's "Headless Horseman" is an absolute classic. You totally don't want to miss it, it's a lot of fun.
Check out "the Headless Horseman" by Geoff Castellucci. It puts this one to shame.
This is a old song by Tennessee Ernie Ford. You should check it out.
Seconded. Geoff's voice is fantastic of course, but the original is just //chef's kiss
You should also check out Geoff's performance of 'Way Down'!
I just listened to him too. amazing!
this song was made famous by Tennessee Ernie Ford in the year of my birth 1955....
keep up the great reactions my dude im still watching the vid. :) im sure you will like country roads from geoff also.
I love how you're getting beyond the envelope of standard POP and getting in to A Capella.

Love his voice. Ive heard him in the nightmare before Christmas song ... not sure which though
To get a good reference, I think Tennessee Ernie ford first did this song, then a few years back Billy Gibbons ( ZZ Top ) and Jeff Beck did this, each has their own great sound... check it out
Great voice in the Tennessee Ernie Ford classic!
Mr Adogg you is a joy to watch! Thank you.....btw Geoff is ace..😁
Geoff signing the Headless Horseman, he is with the Acapella group Voiceplay
Voice play is another acapella group, they are really good. Geoff is the bass guy for that group. You should check them out.
That was different...I liked it 😊👍
Blackbird.and high and dry by Geoff. Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas and My Mother Told Me by Voiceplay.

Your channel is growing like wild fire! Congrats
He's doing all the high parts too. He has a 5 octave range.

It may be spelled bass but when used in a musical context it is pronounced base as in bass guitar, bass voice etc.
Big Bad John !
I see others already told you about Voice Play. Can you react to Peter Hollens with Avi Kaplan - Black is the Color of my true loves Hair?
Made it to the End!! 😉🙏

Don,t for get C2C happy you won,t be disappointedJust started watching you ,You have the best reaction on utube
Blackbird (solo beatles cover) ... or ... Oogie boogie .. or .. My mother told me.
Another good one with just him is The Headless Horseman
Check out the original by Tennessee Ernie Ford this young man would make him proud covering his song
This was a way back song Tennessee Ernie Ford sang it
You need to do a reaction video to the VoicePlay cover of the Oogie Boogie Song from Nightmare Before Christmas.. I guarantee you'll love it.
How low can you go??? WOW!
he's bass singer for voiceplay. watch zombies vs hillbillies, it's voiceplay vs home free
Geoff is kinna a thing.. possibly a mutant.... this range is inhuman..... >.>
Listen to Blackbird. You won't be sorry!
Listen to his misty mountain cold
Can u react to his cover of “take me home, country roads”
Listen to the original by Tennessee Ernie Ford.
You should never knock two hammers together they could explode unless they are special panel beating hammers
Loved your reaction.
The musical part that he is singing is pronounced base, like a baseball game.
Not bass like a fish.
The funny thing is all the notes he’s dropping are throw aways, he never really dropped the Bass
I guarantee their covers of Kansas' "Carry on my Wayward Son" ruclips.net/video/evG28VVz4dY/видео.html and Imagine Dragons' "Warriors" ruclips.net/video/DNh6_XubM2A/видео.html will amaze.
You really want to hear the "original" 16 tons then listen to Tennessee Ernie Ford. He made it popular in the 50's.
Hey bro it’s not bass like the fish!!! It’s bass like a low range singer!!
Not low bass 🐟 Low bass 🎸 singer !! Lol
