I've gained a lot of respect for Eli, not just as a singer but as an actor. He really gets "into character" in these videos. I wouldn't have been surprised to see him USE that bat at some point. (Hey, it can't always be about Geoff lol)
Agreed. That last line of "a seven-nation army couldn't hold me back" may have been sung real soft. But it was still intimidating. Not a man you want to cross. But one you sure do want on your side.
That's part of the appeal with this group. Most, if not all, have experience in either voice acting &/or have worked doing musical shows for Disney World. They can really get into their characters. In Hellfire you can see Layne really emotionally connected to the song along with the others.
Somehow Caesar always just has more... attitude! Eli does the rock god thing so well. Layne has just so many sounds and variety it is ridiculous. Geoff's bass is amazing and his flavor on things is just chef's kiss. And on this Anthony just shines!
I think my favorite part of this song (that I've not [yet] seen reactors comment on) is the real bluesy color/tone to Cesar's singing in the first verse. I've seen this song categorized as "Blues Punk," and Cesar definitely delivered the blues. He's really been maturing as a singer since he joined, and there are a lot more vocal colors in his rainbow... Or maybe it's just as the group gets to know each other better, Geoff and Layne are giving him more colors to sing. In any case, I like!
I like that they are comfortable adding in the audio engineering. We all know they can sing these songs clean, the extra stuff makes it that much more entertaining.
My favorite moment in this piece (out of hundreds) is when Anthony does that last insanely high riff and hands it off to Eli - its amazing! Always appreciate your reaction and analysis of Voiceplay and Geoff. And you have not reacted to their Little Mermaid Medley - you've gotta see it. Trust me!! I like the camera angle, it is more personal and intimate.
The camera set up is much better, because it feels like you are more engaged into a conversation with your viewers. VoicePlay really just keeps raising the bar with every song that they release. It's awesome!
I do like the new camera setup. Voiceplay’s In the Air Tonight was last month’s release. They have a positively exquisite video coming out within the week. This was fun.
I prefer this new camera angle. My hearing isn’t great so being able to watch your face while you’re talking makes it a little easier to keep up without having to blow the speakers out of my cheap TV. I want to thank you for the videos you post. I’ve always loved music but I’ve learned so much about how singers actually produce and control sound from you. Please keep educating and entertaining all of us.
When you reacted1 with WTF at Geoff's home lyric then the drop that follows was hilarious. My favourite part of your reactions is when you go, wait what??? And don't really know what to say. It's s genuine and makes you more entertaining to watch
Your face when you here Layne's first crazy beat boxing is priceless!! Ha! I thoroughly enjoyed this cover and your analysis. Been waiting for this one and really happy to see this!!
Love your new angle.... looking "at us" as you explain and breakdown each video is indeed so much more personal.......loving your smile as you are appreciating their talent too! You are a wealth of knowledge for us all!! Thank you!
All things. Any things. I love Geoff. I love Anthony's riffs. I love this new angle for your camera. I think it's super dope that you got to sit back to back with Jane Lynch this morning. Anything. 😉Thanks for taking the time on these long VP analysis videos, Peter! Always a good time.
What do you think of the part towards the end, the "rip it off" part, where Anthony starts the riff and it's handed to Eli to finish with the rip it off? I love the transitions in many of the songs from Anthony to Eli and vice versa. Great analysis! I know this piece was packed full of things to examine and you only have so much tie to do it! Thank you for going in depth in the songs that you analyze.
Anthony has an incredible voice. Hear it again in their cover of Golden Hour. It has a bridge section written by Geoff. He's becoming more adventurous in that direction. This however is just terrific, from all of them. Loved your reactions :)
Anthony first appeared in Voice Play's Just Sing video. The caption on that one said "Haven't collaborated with him yet, but we want to!" These Anthony videos have literally been coming for years.
I like the new camera set up. Apparently i live under a rock because I had never even heard of this song before Voiceplay covered it. As I'm sure others have mentioned, their take on "In the Air Tonight" is a must-see!
I’ve been waiting for weeks to see your reaction to this! Thankfully, you never disappoint! I don’t know if you noticed but that 2010 dubstep bass sound? The first time you hear it it sure looks like it’s Cesar (he even gives us this cheeky grin after)-second time might be as well. Also, not only does Anthony hit that B5, but then Eli comes in on the same note. I mean, we knew he could do it but… Loved this reaction! And congrats again on the 100k!! You’re in the big time now!!
@22:05 is when the reaction I was WAITING for happened. Every single reactor I have watched react to this one has just lost their ever loving mind starting there.
Thanks for the review Peter, was really hoping you would do this one. This is one of my all time favs from Voiceplay. Another level again! Everyone shines, background, Layne is pure ALIEN. Cesar brings his own, Eli is the usual gold and Anthony, my man, my man. Would love to hear him on more covers from Voiceplay. These guys are simply on another level with their production. Amazing cover all over!
Worth the wait just to see your reaction to the dubstep section 😂 Anthony has a phenomenal voice! He’s done Golden Hour previously with them and this month’s new video which may be coming out tomorrow 🤞🏻He’s also a part of the acapella group Earcandy.
Been waiting for this one from you because there was so much going on. The original is pretty simple and repetitive but as they always do they changed it up and brought a way better twist on it. Thank you for breaking it down and giving your insight.
There’s a lot of passion in this song, and a lot of energy. I don’t follow Voiceplay, but I follow you and will occasionally listen in. I like your new set-up because I can actually see a reaction on your face!
Thank you, Peter, for this reaction and analysis, it was great fun to watch and I'm very impressed at how much you notice within the timeframe of your viewing the video. Also I like the new camera angle, it allow us as viewers to see your reaction a little better, and you might say that it is "in your face", but to me it just feels more intimate and like a conversation even though it's basically you doing a monologue.
Geoff - what can we say? Keeping that base line moving throughout, adding and subtracting to it to give it some variety - and the occasional really low note just to remind us that he can, if he wants to. Layne - just goes to prove my rule for VoicePlay videos - if it doesn't sound like it's made by a human, it's almost certainly Layne! Anthony's riffs and runs were kind of a breakout for me, considering how little of those he did in Golden Hour, the only other song I've really heard him perform. I knew from GH that he had a really good voice, but this was pretty amazing! Eli, in both of the Viking videos, and now in this one, has really shown his "you REALLY don't want to cross me" acting side. Yes, anybody waving around a metal baseball bat is going to bear watching, but Eli really looked like he was kind of wanting to use that bat (hopefully on something, rather than someone). Cesar was by far the most restrained member in this video - just solid backing vocals throughout the entire song. But it was nice to hear him not using the breathy style we've heard so often from him - I really like his "solid" (I would guess, from Peter's lessons, more solid vocal fold closure?) voice even more.
You are one of my all time favorite reactors, and I’ve been waiting for you to react to this song and/or In The Air Tonight! I love that you apply and share your musical knowledge when analyzing these videos… way too many reactors claim to be vocal coaches, musicians, etc. yet only sit there and stare at their screen. I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos… thank you so much for creating such amazing content!! p.s. I live in the suburbs of Philly and would absolutely love to see you perform sometime!
Love your VP analyses. Missed them. You should do a compilation of several of their shorts sometime. They've been amazing. The only downside to shorts, can't back up. But they do loop.
Sounded like a pretty good jazz trio in the background at the start of the video, I had thought Mason was experimenting before sense and your comment broke through the musing. Watching you spend so much time in the middle section when I knew the entire second half was just around the corner was pretty funny
I really do like the new camera angle. it almost feels like a conversation. I mean, obviously you can't hear me, but I do talk and interact a lot while watching your videos. 😂
Thank you for your exceptional job of breaking down this group's amazingly talented productions! You help me appreciate them and their vocal talents even MORE!
I don't know what the contract to be a member of VoicePlay looks like, but 100% Layne's contract has a rider that he is allowed/required to make his water drop sound in every song. 💧
Actually I like the new angle on your camera. Feels more personal. Loved this version of the song, VoicePlay and company really know how to bring it home. And that pertains to all of the videos they've done in the last year. They have just stepped it up to a higher plane and every time I hear them do a new video, I think how can they possibly beat the last one, but they do. Every one seems to be blooming - Eli #1 has been incredible and Cesar is really coming into his own as well. Geoff and Layne are at the peak of their game and it is absolutely breathtaking.
I do like you facing the camera, because it's easier to see your reactions, and your big beautiful brown eyes widening when Geoff goes low, or Layne does something stellar. Great reaction! As for Jane Lynch, and dining a celebrity...welcome to Santa Barbara. But still really cool! I was just watching Adam Lambert preform "Marry the Night." from his Glee guest starring, just before this.
Yes. Enjoying the front, more intimate, camera angle. Always add more value to my Voiceplay experience. You point out things by ears/brain does not pick up on and makes me focus more on the little details. Which make their talent even more amazing. Thanks for your analyzations.
I love watching YOU. Your commentary just enhances the Voiceplay magic, and 'tis magic, laddie. Love you up close and personal looking straight ahead into the camera. Happiness comes to one after your reaction❤
So love a good break down of a Voice Play video! Like the new set up. Also, appreciate the more intimate effect. Best wishes on your new endeavors I CA.
I love this style of analyzing songs because you break down individual parts. I had to smile at your beatboxing reference because my song beatboxes and explains it all to me. Thank you for doing these videos.
Second latest. They've also done In The Air Tonight since this one came out. Looking forward to you seeing that one ;) But yeah, I think it works very nicely for you to be talking directly to the camera. I think you should keep doing it.
This was so fun! I'm also a fan of the new camera angle. Since you don't often make silly faces, it always gives me a giggle when there's something impressive/surprising/funny enough to break you out of analysis mode, and the new setup makes it easier to see. 😀 Not that I'm complaining about analysis mode! I'm a literature/poetry nerd, and while I enjoy music and singing and there is some overlap there, I'm not super knowledgeable on the music front. Your explanations are always easy to follow and just really pleasant to watch because your enjoyment of what you're doing comes through so clearly. (Speaking of poetry nerding, i wanted to comment on your I See Fire analysis to explain why Ed Sheeran's original didn't hit you as hard the original of Misty Mountains, but it would have been quite long and i didn't have the mental bandwith that day to make it shorter. In a nutshell, though, Misty Mountains hits harder because it was written to be read, whereas I See Fire was written to be sung. Since Misty Mountains is far more efficient in terms of word usage, you don't have to do much musically to give it emotional impact. There's a bit more to it, but that's the tl;dr version.)
Thank you for your elaborate analysis. Very helpful for better understanding all the things going on in the background. So far, the reactions I have seen by you have always been worth the watching. :)
I like the forward angle, but maybe not as zoomed in? I dunno what your set-up looks like and if that's hard to manage without making things difficult to see or interact with. I can't even pick out a favorite from this group. Layne's arsenal of sounds is incredible and creative. Geoff and Eli have massive ranges they can cover and sustain. Caesar also has some amazing range and I feel like he's the best at really tapping into his character and bringing the music to life.
Great camera angle and great breakdown! I love this version so much more than the original. “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins is VPs latest release, and also worth a breakdown! ❤
Thank you Peter for another wonderful reaction/analysis...Once again, you pointed out a few things I have not heard before. I really like this version....and yes there is a TON going on.
So glad to hear your take on this! Great reaction! 😊 would love to hear your thoughts on the videos with continuity, such as Warriors-Dream On- Seven Nation Army, and others.
Great reaction. Thanks for breaking down musical and production elements to be appreciated. I think that's what's so impressive about VP - they spread the opportunities to shine for each member throughout their songs! [I like your new camera setup better!]
I never cease to be massively entertained and impressed by this group -- which covers do I still need to analyze??
Their newest, in the air tonight! And they will also have another new one out within the next week or two 💜
😅 Also I don't think you've reacted to golden hour from vp yet, also with Anthony 💜
Any of their older stuff!
Kidnap the sandy claws maybe?
All of them
I've gained a lot of respect for Eli, not just as a singer but as an actor. He really gets "into character" in these videos. I wouldn't have been surprised to see him USE that bat at some point. (Hey, it can't always be about Geoff lol)
Agreed. That last line of "a seven-nation army couldn't hold me back" may have been sung real soft. But it was still intimidating. Not a man you want to cross. But one you sure do want on your side.
I don't think it's ever all about Geoff in a voice play video.
I just love Eli!!! 💖
I love to hear him start off in the lower part of his range. So smooth! No trace of the Rock God here. His versatility never ceases to amaze.
That's part of the appeal with this group. Most, if not all, have experience in either voice acting
&/or have worked doing musical shows for Disney World. They can really get into their characters. In Hellfire you can see Layne really emotionally connected to the song along with the others.
As soon as I saw the startled expression on Peter's face in the thumbnail, I thought... "Layne!" Gotta be one of Layne's crazy percussion riffs...
31:25 "Did he get up to a B5? Which i dont have today. Its so high you can't even hear it" hahahahaha. I related so well with this comment
26:09 "Did he just say opera? OH, MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!" We love you, Peter. 😆❤
The part where the throaty bass kicks in ( 14:37 ) is Geoff. Laine(layne?) takes over after that.
Somehow Caesar always just has more... attitude! Eli does the rock god thing so well. Layne has just so many sounds and variety it is ridiculous. Geoff's bass is amazing and his flavor on things is just chef's kiss. And on this Anthony just shines!
I think my favorite part of this song (that I've not [yet] seen reactors comment on) is the real bluesy color/tone to Cesar's singing in the first verse. I've seen this song categorized as "Blues Punk," and Cesar definitely delivered the blues. He's really been maturing as a singer since he joined, and there are a lot more vocal colors in his rainbow... Or maybe it's just as the group gets to know each other better, Geoff and Layne are giving him more colors to sing. In any case, I like!
Love it when they catch you so off guard that you just yell out "what the fuck"
I like that they are comfortable adding in the audio engineering. We all know they can sing these songs clean, the extra stuff makes it that much more entertaining.
Boogie song isn't that case. :D
My favorite moment in this piece (out of hundreds) is when Anthony does that last insanely high riff and hands it off to Eli - its amazing!
Always appreciate your reaction and analysis of Voiceplay and Geoff.
And you have not reacted to their Little Mermaid Medley - you've gotta see it. Trust me!!
I like the camera angle, it is more personal and intimate.
LOL “it’s so high you can’t hear it”
Silly bass 😂
I'm loving how it starts relatively straight and chill, and then they start to add more of that "VoicePlay" spice lol
The camera set up is much better, because it feels like you are more engaged into a conversation with your viewers. VoicePlay really just keeps raising the bar with every song that they release. It's awesome!
I do like the new camera setup. Voiceplay’s In the Air Tonight was last month’s release. They have a positively exquisite video coming out within the week. This was fun.

Your face when you here Layne's first crazy beat boxing is priceless!! Ha! I thoroughly enjoyed this cover and your analysis. Been waiting for this one and really happy to see this!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Since this they've done In The Air Tonight, with J.None. Brilliant 80s throwback. :) And yes Anthony's name is the Italian way, Gaarjoola.
Love your new angle.... looking "at us" as you explain and breakdown each video is indeed so much more personal.......loving your smile as you are appreciating their talent too! You are a wealth of knowledge for us all!! Thank you!
VP never disappoints. Your analyses never disappoint. Thank you!
The continual interruptions are annoying 😡
Peter, Loved your reaction and especially the analysis and the new camera angle. I'm still finding new things every time I hear this song. 🥰
Did you know that VP also did a cover of Phantom of Opera ft Rachel Potter that is well worth reacting to.
I do love this camera angle. Like you said, it's much more intimate, just the way I like it 😄
And once again VP does something out of this world 😲
Thanks, Peter, for the reaction. I was excited for Anthony Gargiula in this but Cesar's pin-up pose did me in.😆😍 Perfect.
All things. Any things. I love Geoff. I love Anthony's riffs. I love this new angle for your camera. I think it's super dope that you got to sit back to back with Jane Lynch this morning. Anything. 😉Thanks for taking the time on these long VP analysis videos, Peter! Always a good time.
The "Wuuut the fuk" at 22:15 just sent me. 🤣🤣🤣
Saaaame 😅
Camera angle is great and picture quality is so much better. This analysis was worth waiting for.
Glad to hear that!
27:32 Love when you start groovin during a reaction. As always, another phenomenal break down.
What do you think of the part towards the end, the "rip it off" part, where Anthony starts the riff and it's handed to Eli to finish with the rip it off? I love the transitions in many of the songs from Anthony to Eli and vice versa. Great analysis! I know this piece was packed full of things to examine and you only have so much tie to do it! Thank you for going in depth in the songs that you analyze.
Dammnit Pete!? InDouche is now in my Lexicon!
Thnx a pantload🙄🤣
Anthony has an incredible voice. Hear it again in their cover of Golden Hour. It has a bridge section written by Geoff. He's becoming more adventurous in that direction. This however is just terrific, from all of them. Loved your reactions :)
Anthony has also been in several of their Minis
@@janetdw that's true.
Anthony first appeared in Voice Play's Just Sing video. The caption on that one said "Haven't collaborated with him yet, but we want to!" These Anthony videos have literally been coming for years.
I like the new camera set up. Apparently i live under a rock because I had never even heard of this song before Voiceplay covered it. As I'm sure others have mentioned, their take on "In the Air Tonight" is a must-see!
Yes! like the new format of the closer beautiful Peter Barber mug :D
I’ve been waiting for weeks to see your reaction to this! Thankfully, you never disappoint! I don’t know if you noticed but that 2010 dubstep bass sound? The first time you hear it it sure looks like it’s Cesar (he even gives us this cheeky grin after)-second time might be as well.

Loved this reaction! And congrats again on the 100k!! You’re in the big time now!!
Thanks so much!
@22:05 is when the reaction I was WAITING for happened. Every single reactor I have watched react to this one has just lost their ever loving mind starting there.
Whaaaat. Thefuck?
- Peter Barber 2023
Also being so discombobulated that he couldn't even get the pit vipers on at one point. 🤣 Gold!
Stank face and all. Lol
Peter! I'm so glad you picked up on how high Anthony goes in that last riff! I think its one of the most impressive things in the song!
Like the new camera angle. It does seem more personal. I love how much you enjoyed that.
I like how you actually know what you are talking about. Just like Charismatic Voice. Geoff is my fave but as a whole I love Voice Play.
Thanks for the review Peter, was really hoping you would do this one. This is one of my all time favs from Voiceplay. Another level again! Everyone shines, background, Layne is pure ALIEN. Cesar brings his own, Eli is the usual gold and Anthony, my man, my man. Would love to hear him on more covers from Voiceplay. These guys are simply on another level with their production. Amazing cover all over!
The EDM background is great for this; I knew you'd have a look at it from that. I had no idea about the EDM.
Worth the wait just to see your reaction to the dubstep section 😂
Anthony has a phenomenal voice! He’s done Golden Hour previously with them and this month’s new video which may be coming out tomorrow 🤞🏻He’s also a part of the acapella group Earcandy.
I love how they felt the need to censor the pillar with some duct tape
Been waiting for this one from you because there was so much going on. The original is pretty simple and repetitive but as they always do they changed it up and brought a way better twist on it. Thank you for breaking it down and giving your insight.
Great analysis. Really like the intimate vibe with you facing the camera.
There’s a lot of passion in this song, and a lot of energy. I don’t follow Voiceplay, but I follow you and will occasionally listen in. I like your new set-up because I can actually see a reaction on your face!
Thank you, Peter, for this reaction and analysis, it was great fun to watch and I'm very impressed at how much you notice within the timeframe of your viewing the video. Also I like the new camera angle, it allow us as viewers to see your reaction a little better, and you might say that it is "in your face", but to me it just feels more intimate and like a conversation even though it's basically you doing a monologue.
Geoff - what can we say? Keeping that base line moving throughout, adding and subtracting to it to give it some variety - and the occasional really low note just to remind us that he can, if he wants to.
Layne - just goes to prove my rule for VoicePlay videos - if it doesn't sound like it's made by a human, it's almost certainly Layne!
Anthony's riffs and runs were kind of a breakout for me, considering how little of those he did in Golden Hour, the only other song I've really heard him perform. I knew from GH that he had a really good voice, but this was pretty amazing!
Eli, in both of the Viking videos, and now in this one, has really shown his "you REALLY don't want to cross me" acting side. Yes, anybody waving around a metal baseball bat is going to bear watching, but Eli really looked like he was kind of wanting to use that bat (hopefully on something, rather than someone).
Cesar was by far the most restrained member in this video - just solid backing vocals throughout the entire song. But it was nice to hear him not using the breathy style we've heard so often from him - I really like his "solid" (I would guess, from Peter's lessons, more solid vocal fold closure?) voice even more.
You are one of my all time favorite reactors, and I’ve been waiting for you to react to this song and/or In The Air Tonight! I love that you apply and share your musical knowledge when analyzing these videos… way too many reactors claim to be vocal coaches, musicians, etc. yet only sit there and stare at their screen. I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos… thank you so much for creating such amazing content!!
p.s. I live in the suburbs of Philly and would absolutely love to see you perform sometime!
Love your VP analyses. Missed them. You should do a compilation of several of their shorts sometime. They've been amazing. The only downside to shorts, can't back up. But they do loop.
Yes for the new camera setup! Great analysis as usual!
Yay. I have been waiting for this for weeks. You did so good. Thank you.
Sounded like a pretty good jazz trio in the background at the start of the video, I had thought Mason was experimenting before sense and your comment broke through the musing.
Watching you spend so much time in the middle section when I knew the entire second half was just around the corner was pretty funny
I really do like the new camera angle. it almost feels like a conversation. I mean, obviously you can't hear me, but I do talk and interact a lot while watching your videos. 😂
I knew you'd love this one, with all the dub step and electronic type influence! 💜
You have the very best channel, period. The charasmatic voice is the only other one getting an honorable mention. Kudos!!
Thank you for your exceptional job of breaking down this group's amazingly talented productions! You help me appreciate them and their vocal talents even MORE!
I don't know what the contract to be a member of VoicePlay looks like, but 100% Layne's contract has a rider that he is allowed/required to make his water drop sound in every song. 💧
Actually I like the new angle on your camera. Feels more personal. Loved this version of the song, VoicePlay and company really know how to bring it home. And that pertains to all of the videos they've done in the last year. They have just stepped it up to a higher plane and every time I hear them do a new video, I think how can they possibly beat the last one, but they do. Every one seems to be blooming - Eli #1 has been incredible and Cesar is really coming into his own as well. Geoff and Layne are at the peak of their game and it is absolutely breathtaking.
A Lebanese reactor said that if he was in trouble he'd call on those guys because they look like total bad asses
Really like this set up. And just love this cover.
Great analysis as usual...And yes...New camera angle is awesome. Can't wait to see you reaction to VP doing CREEP.
I do like you facing the camera, because it's easier to see your reactions, and your big beautiful brown eyes widening when Geoff goes low, or Layne does something stellar. Great reaction! As for Jane Lynch, and dining a celebrity...welcome to Santa Barbara. But still really cool! I was just watching Adam Lambert preform "Marry the Night." from his Glee guest starring, just before this.
Yes. Enjoying the front, more intimate, camera angle. Always add more value to my Voiceplay experience. You point out things by ears/brain does not pick up on and makes me focus more on the little details. Which make their talent even more amazing. Thanks for your analyzations.
I love watching YOU. Your commentary just enhances the Voiceplay magic, and 'tis magic, laddie. Love you up close and personal looking straight ahead into the camera. Happiness comes to one after your reaction❤
Love the camera set up. Love the full frontal lol
So love a good break down of a Voice Play video! Like the new set up. Also, appreciate the more intimate effect. Best wishes on your new endeavors I CA.
Fantastic :)
I honestly love these closeup videos of you reacting. Awesome video as well. Keep it up!
I love this style of analyzing songs because you break down individual parts. I had to smile at your beatboxing reference because my song beatboxes and explains it all to me. Thank you for doing these videos.
The “what the fuck” during the first breakdown got me 😂
Good stuff Peter as always!!!
Really appreciate your analysis. The newest one they did "In the Air Tonight" that is a must hear.
You need to do their most recent song, that released today: Creep.
A song with so many covers is challenging... but this is one of their best, ever.
Great reaction and analysis as always 👌 The arrangement of this cover is amazing ❤❤
Did you know that Geoff does Beatboxing on the side ?
Loved the analysis! I do enjoy the new camera angle. Take care!
Love the in-depth analysis (it’s my kind of obsession,) so awesome, and of course VP was amazing as usual (yet never boring. )
Since their release I was ONLY waiting for your reaction!! Why did you make us wait so long? Always enjoy your work!
Give our guy a break. It takes some time and aggravation to move across a continent.
Thank you for the reaction, I've never laughed at a reaction so much as I have this one. Keep up the fab work.😂
Very good analysis that highlights how good VoicePlay really is. ANd yes, I like this camera angle.
Second latest. They've also done In The Air Tonight since this one came out. Looking forward to you seeing that one ;) But yeah, I think it works very nicely for you to be talking directly to the camera. I think you should keep doing it.
Love the set-up. It's much more intimate.
Anthony sang the National Anthem at age 12 - amazing if you want to give it a listen.
Thank you, Peter. You really open my ears.
Loved the reaction/analysis, definitely do In The Air Tonight and Golden Hour! And ANY of their older stuff, would love that as well.
Peter’s bell tone demonstration at 19:06 was definitely Saria’s Song from Ocarina of Time! 😆
I quite like the new angle. Great in-depth review.
Great reaction. I learned a lot. I like the new camera positioning.
Excellent!
This was so fun! I'm also a fan of the new camera angle. Since you don't often make silly faces, it always gives me a giggle when there's something impressive/surprising/funny enough to break you out of analysis mode, and the new setup makes it easier to see. 😀 Not that I'm complaining about analysis mode! I'm a literature/poetry nerd, and while I enjoy music and singing and there is some overlap there, I'm not super knowledgeable on the music front. Your explanations are always easy to follow and just really pleasant to watch because your enjoyment of what you're doing comes through so clearly.
(Speaking of poetry nerding, i wanted to comment on your I See Fire analysis to explain why Ed Sheeran's original didn't hit you as hard the original of Misty Mountains, but it would have been quite long and i didn't have the mental bandwith that day to make it shorter.

Thank you.
Anytime!
No, seriously, I will geek about writing for literal days if nobody shuts me up 😂
Thank you for your elaborate analysis. Very helpful for better understanding all the things going on in the background. So far, the reactions I have seen by you have always been worth the watching. :)
I like the forward angle, but maybe not as zoomed in? I dunno what your set-up looks like and if that's hard to manage without making things difficult to see or interact with.
I can't even pick out a favorite from this group. Layne's arsenal of sounds is incredible and creative. Geoff and Eli have massive ranges they can cover and sustain. Caesar also has some amazing range and I feel like he's the best at really tapping into his character and bringing the music to life.
Great camera angle and great breakdown! I love this version so much more than the original. “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins is VPs latest release, and also worth a breakdown! ❤
I like the direct contact feel.
Thank you Peter for another wonderful reaction/analysis...Once again, you pointed out a few things I have not heard before. I really like this version....and yes there is a TON going on.
Such an insightful analysis as usual. So much I missed listening to the original with my untrained ear. Thank you.
I do like the straight on angle, I feel like we see your expressions better
So glad to hear your take on this! Great reaction! 😊 would love to hear your thoughts on the videos with continuity, such as Warriors-Dream On- Seven Nation Army, and others.
Just a great reaction!!! Really appreciate you analysis. Thank you very much for all your good work.
Great, in-depth analysis as always, Peter. Newest cover (dropped today) is Creep.
Great reaction. Thanks for breaking down musical and production elements to be appreciated. I think that's what's so impressive about VP - they spread the opportunities to shine for each member throughout their songs!
[I like your new camera setup better!]
