Thank you all so much for the support on this video! I really enjoyed getting to go a bit deeper into the vocals compared to the stuff I normally check out and I’m glad that you all seem to enjoy it too! You all make my little heart happy 🥹
Would be fun to see you react to some other songs from the show as there are a lot of pretty well known broadway singers in the show, if you are interested I would love to see a video on the song ‘Ozzie’s’ if you want to hear something a bit more different from some famous broadway singers, there are also a few Bryce Pinkham (the voice actor that sings in this video) sings such as The Lullaby. This is just a suggestion though if you decide to branch out a bit, nice video though thank you!
Definitely recommend more songs, of course they have explicit words. Of course this is indie animation so you shouldn’t have copyright issues. Helluva boss is definitely a very good show.
One song of the show in an episode was written by KE$HA, but sung by somebody else. The fact that they got Kesha to voice a character is just cool to me.
copy right is a non issiue with spindle horse productions, afterall, they are made on youtube, they are meant to be seen for free and reacted to, not like hollywood. adendum i mean for hellovaboss reactions, obviously you should watch out for copy right crap from hazbin hotell becuase unlike hellova boss thats tied to a big company and we all know big companies are shitters.
It sounds like an aristocratic accent I don't know whether it would be British or French but it's hell. I'm American I hear aristocratic and think British.
"I wouldn't be surprised if the singer actually did get quite emotional singing that." This is actually what happened on a previous song he sung as this character - he started crying during the recording of the first take of the song, but powered through, and _that_ was the take that ended up being used in the episode. It is hearbreaking.
I think it was actually his third or fourth take of stolas sings that made it in (which is not a lot at all!), and they just used the full (either mostly or fully unedited) take instead of taking bits and pieces from other takes. Either way, he's a very talented singer/actor!
"You will be Okay" and "Owl in a Cage" are other Stolas songs if you're interested in that, but it would be interesting to hear your perspective on very different voices from the show than his like "Two Minute's notice" or "House of Asmodeous." Be warned though, the non-stolas songs and most of the show can get pretty explicit
I hope she'll react to other Helluva boss songs as well. It's definitely worth checking out the songs Edit: maybe Hazbin hotel as well (especially now with the whole season coming out in January)
Vivziepop loves people reacting to her stuff, so you don't really need to worry about copyright issues. So no need for any elaborate editing or cutting out scenes or such.
Helluva Boss really is one of the most adult like shows that don't feel adult at times. Sure the plot is that "a company set in hell run by imps that gets clients that pay them to kill people alive as revenge" is a self-explained story, but the characters despite literally being demons and hell-ish creatures, they still feel a sense of loving their personality. The characters have difficult friendships, trauma flashbacks, and plenty more messed up stuff all while happening in some of the most hardcore fucked up scenarios. And this song SOMEHOW takes place in the same universe???
Yes, you picked up on that well. Bryce Pinkham is an American broadway singer and sets up a posh British (with a wee bit of Scottish) accent when voicing this royal demon character named Stolas. His vocal range is really incredible.
To help answer any questions you may have, here’s a summary of the current storyline of the song. Stolas, a demon of noble birth, finds himself contemplating his next course of action. He has completely transformed his life for Blitzø, a demon of lower social standing, whom he has come to love. However, Stolas is uncertain about Blitzø's feelings towards him. Blitzø believes that he is undeserving of love and assumes that Stolas is only interested in their physical relationship, perceiving no genuine emotional connection between them. Stolas realizes that if he desires their relationship to progress beyond a mere contractual arrangement, he must allow Blitzø to make a choice. The basis of their contract is a mutual benefit. In simple terms, Blitzø requires access to the human realm to run his business, and Stolas possesses a book with the power to grant him that access. Stolas grants Blitzø permission to use his book, and in return, they spend one night together every month. By giving Blitzø a crystal, Stolas effectively terminates their contract. With the crystal, Blitzø no longer requires Stolas' book, rendering their monthly encounters unnecessary. Stolas is prepared to express his true feelings to Blitzø and hopes that Blitzø will reciprocate. However, Stolas is also apprehensive about the possibility of heartbreak once he relinquishes the crystal, as he fears losing Blitzø. 2:25: _”Is he in an English accent?”_ Nope. The actor for Stolas is Bryce Pinkham, an American actor and singer. Another interesting thing about this song is that it was originally a FAN-MADE song that the creators of the series decided to use! The original creator is PARANOiD DJ. I sincerely encourage you to explore more of HELLUVA BOSS as it features numerous remarkable songs. If you are interested, the series is available for free viewing on RUclips.
He actually is singing in an english accent! Bryce himself is american, but Stolas is british, so Bryce is actually singing in a different accent from his own - all the more impressive!
Also, I just want to mention, some fans didn't like the idea Blitzo ruined Stolas's marriage, but, to be fair, Stella, Stolas's wife, abused him physically and emotionally the entire time they were married and it was an arranged marriage too so love was never a part of their relationship. If anything Blitzo only gave Stolas the confidence he needed to finally divorce Stella.
@@andyt2kare you talking about Addict or is there another one i didn't know? In case it is Addict, it would be the first time a fanmade song has made it to the show, as Addict is from Hazbin Hotel and not Helluva Boss
Yeah, even though you mainly react to game OSTs, I would seriously suggest possibly watching and reacting to Helluva Boss episodes. There's nearly 2 seasons of it available to watch on RUclips. There's also Hazbin Hotel, the pilot episode of which is here on RUclips but it is getting a television release starting in January.
You don’t have to worry about copyright for this one, I think. By the way, Fun Fact: this Song was originally Fan-Made. Anyway, if you haven’t Watched Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel, they usually have Songs, so I recommend checking them out, if that is something you’re interested in. I also would like to see you do Touhou Bad Apple at some point too.
This was an independent production by a group killing it right now. Headed up by Vivian Medrano aka Vivziepop, it has basically exploded the independent animation world. And this is just her side project. It started with her releasing the pilot to her passion project called Hazbin Hotel. TLDR description Disney Princess in Hell. Featuring a lot of music as well she produced this to shop it around to catch the eye of a bigger production company. While she did that she released the pilot to a side project set in the same universe to produce while they work on getting Hazbin picked up. And Helluva Boss hit big. In particular it really exploded as something unexpected with the second episode where the character in this vid, Stolas, sang another song that just blew everyone away. The show benefited from covid due to Broadway shutting down and thus a lot of mainline singers were looking for work. Adding to their already musically talented cast they picked up James Monroe Iglehart (the Genie from Aladdin the musical) and Alex Brightman (Betelgeuse from Betelgeuse the Musical) in recurring rolls. And their voice talent did not go to waste either. Meanwhile Hazbin Hotel which promises to be a bigger musical experience (with some of the voice talent being brought over from Helluva) got picked up by Studio A24 and went into production. And that has finished with Hazbin Hotel scheduled to be released on Prime Video this January. Needless to say the fans are freaking out. You can watch the entire season and a half of Helluva Boss on Vivziepop's channel on RUclips. And there are a number of music vids that have spilled out of both productions already along with an entire cottage industry of musicians and composers jumping on the bandwagon releasing their own works. The song in this video came from exactly that sort of creativity. The song itself was released by Paranoid DJ. Vivziepop decided he nailed the motiffe so she brought to song into canon and rerecorded it with the VA of Stolas actually performing it.
You should hear him sing to his daughter Octavia. There he shows he can BLAST you away with Volume of voice alone. "you will be ok." if you ever look for it. I LOVE every song with Stolas aka. Bryce Pinkham. His voice is awesome for that role.
This reaction was great! If you are interested in more good Helluva Boss songs, I recommend "House of Asmodeous." Its sung by the broadway singers of both Beetlejuice (from Beetlejuice the musical) and the genie (from Aladdin the musical).
@@blueotanthink the point was that Stolas' VA is impressive for being able to have such control and power in his vocals while playing as his character. Though it is to be expected, Bryce is an experienced Broadway singer who often plays characters
I would love to see you react to more Helluva Boss songs. Another one by this character is "You Will Be Okay (Stolas' Lullaby)". It's another emotional song by him with great visuals to match.
Stolas is one of the Lords of Hell, stuck in an unhappy marriage but with a lover (Blitz, an Imp) who is in an arrangement with him for mutual gain. Stolas hopes for something more in the relationship. Helluvaboss is mosty about Blitz and his crew.
If you know who the characters are, this one is a real tear-jerker. If you have a stomach for cartoon violence and adult humor, there are some satisfyingly emotionally complex characters and great original songs. The show just gets better as it goes, it's crazy. Happy viewing :)
I love watching these technical reactions to the musical aspect of Just Look My Way. As an artist, I can definitely appreciate the sheer beauty of the animation and I know just how much effort was put into each frame. There’s definitely something there with color theory but I’m too enraptured by everything else to really do a break down lol. The camera angles as well are so good at helping to convey tone and emotion, alongside transitions and panning. I will admit that some of the nuances of the music itself is lost on me. Reaction videos like these help me get a better understanding and appreciation for music and I love it. Thank you so much for this video.
It's so interesting to hear a more technical perspective on this lovely piece, thank you! If you just want to see more of the sad owl and get another of his songs, you could check out the Helluva Boss episode "The Circus" by itself. (The main show is delightful but not everyone is up for that much dark edgy humor; the circus episode is much milder and can stand on its own as a story.) This was a fan song by PARANOIDDJ that the team loved enough to turn into an official music video. They did the same for another song, "Addict" by Silva Hound, and that's also great if you're interested in checking it out. Bryce Pinkham isn't the only Broadway star singing for these shows; Alex Brightman and James Monroe Ingleheart also have great musical numbers that you might find interesting from a technical perspective. "House of Asmodeus" and "Crooked Heart" both show off Ingleheart's impressive baritone. (And one more rec while I'm at it, since you said you normally react to video game music: I know nothing about Deltarune or the character Ralsei, but the song PARANOIDDJ did for them was too good to pass up.)
The singer, Bryce Pinkham, used to be a Broadway performer. The character, Stolas, has been called out for loving a lower class demon (an Imp), and wants to make amends with them.
I am SO GLAD you are 'ohhing and aweing' at the exact same stuff I way! All the little cracks, emotions- im so glad because no one else I watched reacted the way I was looking for.
Oh maaaaaan, i hope you'll check out some of the songs Hazbin Hotel will eventually release because Blake Roman- a starting out Broadway actor--- HAS THE EXACT RANGE in his voice that Bryce Pinkham (the singer in this video) has! Along with just- Hazbin Hotel being an overall musical series!
I just found your Channel, and _thank you_ for acknowledging that Stolas has an _English accent!_ I cannot tell you what it means to finally have someone say that and not claim he has a “British Accent”! Thank you from an English Lioness and call me a new subscriber 💙🐱💙
Excuse me, I did not start watching a show about funny imp people murdering people to be made to FEEL THINGS for an Owl demon noble. ....... But please, do continue.
i have thoughts after re-watching this and watching the newest episode of helluva boss. i don't think these two love birds are gunna get a happy ending...... from the amount of enemies blitz is stockpiling [sins, royalty, heaven, other lower class to even humans] to the fact they can never just seem to talk things out with each other like adults. and the fact this comedy is slowly becoming more tragedy i think what we are looking at is a story similar to the star crossed lovers, "Romeo and Juliet". a war is brewing and i hope blitz remembers when its all said and done to look his way.......
The singer is Broadway leading man and Tony nominee, Bryce Pinkham. He's got phenomenal range and he's best known (at this moment) as this character and for his turn as Monty Navarro in "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder". As noted below, the song composition was originally by PARANOiD Dj. The television show is far more raunchy, but with that strong undercurrent of character development you see here. I believe the songs in the show (because it's a musical) are done by Sam Haft of the Living Tombstone. This song is a lovely piece for you to start on!
Oh I absolutely would love to hear you listen to more Helluva Boss songs! As many other commenters have stated; it's a very adult, explicity show however. Personally I'd recommend House of Asmodeus (VERY explicit), and two minute notice! (Many, many swears.) And don't worry about pausing! We're here to watch you and hear your comments, if we want to hear the song we can listen to it on our own!
Vivziepop's channel is a true phenomenon. The talent attached to something like a RUclips Cartoon is unbelievable. Broadway voices, Popsingers, professional Voiceactors coupled with brilliant nuanced writing and amazing animation isn't something you come across often.
If you wanted to react to a series, helluva boss would be a great one! it is VERY inappropriate, but the visuals, voice acting, and emotional moments are amazing.
I’m not sure if I’ve heard the voice actor sing before (but I’m sure I have??) and I’m in LOVE. I adore how smooth and controlled his voice is and just ALSJDJJFJ so so good
Would be awesome if you reacted to the hazbin hotel songs, most sung by broadway stars and I love most of them like "poison" "loser baby" and "hell is forever"
bryce pinkham absolute legend it almost sounds real just for context he is in hell his name is stolas he is talking about blitz a lowerclassed demon that as seggs with him yeah he's gay anyways he actually caught feelings for blitz and blitz just thinks of what they have is just a deal stolas has a book and blitz needs that book to do his job and blitz and stolas have seggs as a deal so blitz can use the book the box that had that yellow crystal was from a friend of stolas the crystal is about the same use as the book and if stolas gives the crystal to blitz then they will stop interacting and blitz wont need his book that's why this song exists he is contemplating to give it to blitz
I would love to just watch you react to the songs of Helluva Boss, since this is a music based channel, but if you feel like creating a one off series of watching animated shows, Helluva Boss is top tier (BUT VERY ADULT!!! Don’t let this gorgeous song from Stolas fool you. He’s only non-explicit when he sings apparently lol)
I live to hear such insightful analysis! I always check out fandom reactions but it's so cool to hear some people knowledgeable in music talk about it!
The whole series is a musical so if you really want to you could either watch the whole series which is very very good even without the music or you could just look up the music videos from the episodes and react to those if you don’t feel like watching the whole series which is what I would recommend.
if you like this song i highly recommend watching the show and reacting to the songs from it theres a song in ever episode i believe and there all amazing
So, Big Fun Fact. This song was a fan made song made by ParanoidDJ that the creator of the series liked so much that they made it in to an official animated video sung by the voice actor for Stolas, the subject of the this video
The guy singing is called "Stolas (FAV CHARACTER), He is an owl,and he is the King/Prince of that world,He has feelings for Blitzø,Blitzø is part of his world,they met at a circus with a guy called "Fizzarolli" short formed "Fizz" And he is husbands with someone called Asmodeus,or should i say Ozzie,Stolas (The person singing) was best friends with Blitzø (Silent o),And he (Stolas) felt feelings for Blitzø,But Blitzø just sees him (Stolas) just as a friend,Stolas is married with a girl named Stella. --- ETC: Blitzø Works as a assasain,He (Blitzø) Works with Millie,Moxxie And Loona. Loona is Blitzø's Step-Daughter. Millie and Moxxie are married --- I will spare more details when you see the show. --- PLEASE I SPENT SO LONG ON THIS...
Hello, I am new to the channel, but I really enjoy your video. I wanted to recommend a game OST to you. It’s purely instrumental, but it’s fantastic. It’s the OST from my favorite game Outer Wilds. Some pieces of the OST I do really recommend would be: „Outer Wilds“ „Timber Hearth“ „Final Voyage“ „Travelers“ (also „Travelers Encore“ from the DLC) „Let There Be Light“ „14.3 Billion Years“ „Morning“ „Campfire Song“ „The River“ (also from the DLC) But be aware, if you want to play the game yourself, it is really spoiler sensitive. ::)
He sounds slightly more American (well, he IS American) in this song, but the character is a Goetia Prince, and that does tend to make Americans veer toward going very English. He is also very considerably good at doing a posh English accent. He's done it on Broadway even more flawlessly than here. And in certain songs he is downright operatic.
Kinda sad a LARGE portion of people watching this video are people who don't know Helluva Boss and don't understand it going in. But it's still an amazing song and my heart breaks for Stolas...
I really liked your honest reaction for this. I would be thrilled to see your channel opening up reactions to anime/animation/vtuber related music because there is so much good music out there ! I hope you don't mind different languages in a song though. Some anime recommendations to test if it suits your taste: anime music: TK - unravel (tokyo Ghoul opening) Ado - Tot Musica (from One Peace film "Red") Vtubers (I selected songs with strong emotional expression and good range since you liked this song from helluva boss): - vtuber Serafina: 【Cover】Ticking Away ft. Grabbitz & bbno$ | Cover by Serafina | VALORANT Champions 2023 Anthem - vtuber Nana Asteria: You and Beautiful World Yuyoyuppe - Nana Asteria Cover - vtuber Juna Unagi :「 ストレンジ | STRANGE」 【JUNA UNAGI】 ¿? [btw Valorant is also a Riot game ^^] and some game company that does a lot of elaborate music projects I can highly recommend is Riot - widely known as League of Legends (name of the main game). they created their own virtual bands (with their champions from the game and real artists singing the characters) Heartsteel - paranoia K/DA - popstars K/DA - villian K/DA - baddest True Damage - Giants Pentakill - Mortal Reminder cool cinematics with really good music that they produce by their own(!) music department for the most part (in corporation with different bands and singers): seasonal cinematic 2019 - Awaken seasonal cinematic 2020 - Warriors seasonal cinematic 2022 - The Call Every of their 166 champions go his own champion theme - here a small selection to see how much variation there is: - Aphelios, The Weapon of the Faithful | Champion Theme (ft. Laura Vall) - League of Legends - Volibear: The Relentless Storm - K’Sante, The Pride of Nazumah | Champion Theme - Fiddlesticks, The Ancient Fear | Champion Theme - League of Legends ____________________________________________________________ Also a good one from Diablo IV (Blizzard Entertainment): Halsey, SUGA - Lilith (Diablo IV Anthem) I also recommend watching the Diablo IV cinematics but I am not sure if you want to react to sth. without music (only score). But I gotta say Diablo IV is dark - it is about demons and (fallen) angels. Can you please describe (music) genres that you don't like so I can select my recommendations for you better?
In my layman's opinion, Stolas [Bryce Pinkham] has the best voice in the series, his songs are simply incredible! I recommend reacting to "When I See Him Tonight" [including the version with the "behind the scenes" singers] and "All 2 U." By the way, feel free to react to all the songs on Hazbin Hotel, they're amazing too! ♥

But he won't, will he? He'll never look. 'Cause he can't. He won't, and he can't. All-the-more reason why their relationship if we can even call it that, was right from the very beginning, doomed to sink and burn.
Wow, so many love, passion and longing frankly, how he handled things questionable he could’ve had a private chat with his wife and divorce her and ask his daughter. What does he want? But I believe blitz actually does like him man he never received much of love, except his mother, and he tries to piece relationships like a broken bass, but even how hard he keep putting it back together it won’t fit into place even how much glue or duct tape use it’s not gonna stay it’s broken. You should try to look forward instead of being scared to be. looking in the past. But I’m not a counselor understanding our relationships. I only had one that wasn’t really relationship. We never even went on one date loving the idea of the relationship feel like man I’m sorry me and relationships are really rocky. I try my best to be the person that they want to. It feels like it’s just a huge joke. Only thing I just feel was dead inside, Again, I am really sorry this wolf this this is really tough even for a song
To answer some of your questions and offer more info: 1. The show is American, and Bryce Pinkham (the singer here) is also American. But the character singing, Stolas, has an English accent that Bryce puts on for him, probably just because he's nobility and English accents always sound fancier 😁 To paraphrase Tom Ellis on his character choices for Lucifer, you can be a dick in an English accent and it's charming, but if you're a dick in an American accent, then you're just a dick 😂(Though there's another noble character in the show, played by an actual English woman, whose accent can't save her from being absolutely despised because she's a total bitch 😅) 2. The emotionality is wonderful, but also to be expected. Bryce is one of many cast members who are Broadway stars, and their skills are constantly shown off throughout the series, which has at least one musical number in every episode. Some other Broadway stars that are cast members: Alex Brightman (who played Beetlejuice in the musical version), James Monroe Iglehart (who played the Genie in the Broadway adaptation of Aladdin), and a guest appearance by Jonathan Freeman (Jafar in Aladdin). Even the non-broadway cast mostly have singing experience as well, as the show was conceptualized as a musical from the start, and casting choices made for that. 3. I don't have a third thing, but I do highly recommend watching Helluva Boss, even in your own time. It's *so good!*
Thank you all so much for the support on this video!

To be fair, he does have a good number of creepy moments. Like his entrance in "Truthseekers."
As a music person, this song is amazing. As a fan of the show, this song hurts so bad.
It hurts so much

The episode that gave us "Two Minutes Notice" was such a musical treat. Especially getting to hear Ozzi sing like that.
His voice is buttery!!! I love it when I hear this type of vocal control. The tone color is insanely calming.

Helluva Boss is a great show, it has lots of comedy but also very inappropriate at times. Overall in my opinion it’s great
kinda meant to be inappropriate
Oh my God that was beautiful, I don't even know what to say...wow. Wow wow wow. Incredible!
This is the 3rd time the Hellavu Boss fanbase has heard this owl sing. If you want to hear the first time he sang in the show, look up "You'll be Ok"
Is that the one with Octavia? If so then that might be my favorite song ive seen so far, i have to watch season 2.

And this is just her side project. It started with her releasing the pilot to her passion project called Hazbin Hotel. TLDR description Disney Princess in Hell. Featuring a lot of music as well she produced this to shop it around to catch the eye of a bigger production company. While she did that she released the pilot to a side project set in the same universe to produce while they work on getting Hazbin picked up. And Helluva Boss hit big. In particular it really exploded as something unexpected with the second episode where the character in this vid, Stolas, sang another song that just blew everyone away. The show benefited from covid due to Broadway shutting down and thus a lot of mainline singers were looking for work. Adding to their already musically talented cast they picked up James Monroe Iglehart (the Genie from Aladdin the musical) and Alex Brightman (Betelgeuse from Betelgeuse the Musical) in recurring rolls. And their voice talent did not go to waste either. Meanwhile Hazbin Hotel which promises to be a bigger musical experience (with some of the voice talent being brought over from Helluva) got picked up by Studio A24 and went into production. And that has finished with Hazbin Hotel scheduled to be released on Prime Video this January. Needless to say the fans are freaking out. You can watch the entire season and a half of Helluva Boss on Vivziepop's channel on RUclips. And there are a number of music vids that have spilled out of both productions already along with an entire cottage industry of musicians and composers jumping on the bandwagon releasing their own works. The song in this video came from exactly that sort of creativity. The song itself was released by Paranoid DJ. Vivziepop decided he nailed the motiffe so she brought to song into canon and rerecorded it with the VA of Stolas actually performing it.
You should hear him sing to his daughter Octavia. There he shows he can BLAST you away with Volume of voice alone. "you will be ok." if you ever look for it.
I LOVE every song with Stolas aka. Bryce Pinkham. His voice is awesome for that role.
This reaction was great! If you are interested in more good Helluva Boss songs, I recommend "House of Asmodeous." Its sung by the broadway singers of both Beetlejuice (from Beetlejuice the musical) and the genie (from Aladdin the musical).
Even crazier when you realize the entire song was done in the character's voice
Obviously? 😭
@@blueotan Ok smart ass, it's actually very difficult to sing while doing a voice, much less a voice AND a fake accent AND make it sound good
@@blueotanthink the point was that Stolas' VA is impressive for being able to have such control and power in his vocals while playing as his character.
Though it is to be expected, Bryce is an experienced Broadway singer who often plays characters
I love going through these reacts and finding people who just fall in love with Stolas for the first time ♥
i’ve gotten into helluva boss recently and the songs are really good!!!
Every song is brilliant
I would love to see you react to more Helluva Boss songs. Another one by this character is "You Will Be Okay (Stolas' Lullaby)". It's another emotional song by him with great visuals to match.
Stolas is one of the Lords of Hell, stuck in an unhappy marriage but with a lover (Blitz, an Imp) who is in an arrangement with him for mutual gain. Stolas hopes for something more in the relationship. Helluvaboss is mosty about Blitz and his crew.
If you know who the characters are, this one is a real tear-jerker. If you have a stomach for cartoon violence and adult humor, there are some satisfyingly emotionally complex characters and great original songs. The show just gets better as it goes, it's crazy. Happy viewing :)
THIS is the kinda reaction i wanted to see
It's even sadder with context
good reaction!! Bryce Pinkham is amazing!! his voice is perfect and his work voicing Stolas too.
I love watching these technical reactions to the musical aspect of Just Look My Way. As an artist, I can definitely appreciate the sheer beauty of the animation and I know just how much effort was put into each frame. There’s definitely something there with color theory but I’m too enraptured by everything else to really do a break down lol. The camera angles as well are so good at helping to convey tone and emotion, alongside transitions and panning.
I will admit that some of the nuances of the music itself is lost on me. Reaction videos like these help me get a better understanding and appreciation for music and I love it. Thank you so much for this video.
You should give Helluva Boss songs a chance, many of them are very good!!
It's so interesting to hear a more technical perspective on this lovely piece, thank you! If you just want to see more of the sad owl and get another of his songs, you could check out the Helluva Boss episode "The Circus" by itself. (The main show is delightful but not everyone is up for that much dark edgy humor; the circus episode is much milder and can stand on its own as a story.)
This was a fan song by PARANOIDDJ that the team loved enough to turn into an official music video. They did the same for another song, "Addict" by Silva Hound, and that's also great if you're interested in checking it out.
Bryce Pinkham isn't the only Broadway star singing for these shows; Alex Brightman and James Monroe Ingleheart also have great musical numbers that you might find interesting from a technical perspective. "House of Asmodeus" and "Crooked Heart" both show off Ingleheart's impressive baritone.
(And one more rec while I'm at it, since you said you normally react to video game music: I know nothing about Deltarune or the character Ralsei, but the song PARANOIDDJ did for them was too good to pass up.)
The singer, Bryce Pinkham, used to be a Broadway performer.
The character, Stolas, has been called out for loving a lower class demon (an Imp), and wants to make amends with them.
oh, could you please react to the whole series? It’s just so great and they have songs in every episode!
"Let me explaaaaaain " "ok ok ok..stop stop stop.I..oh...mmm..wow..hmm.h.ahhh". stolas... your voice, it is beautiful
Woulda never thought you’d do this, but I love this! It’s a GREAT show! And its made by a someone here on RUclips and can be found ON RUclips
I am SO GLAD you are 'ohhing and aweing' at the exact same stuff I way! All the little cracks, emotions- im so glad because no one else I watched reacted the way I was looking for.
Oh maaaaaan, i hope you'll check out some of the songs Hazbin Hotel will eventually release because Blake Roman- a starting out Broadway actor--- HAS THE EXACT RANGE in his voice that Bryce Pinkham (the singer in this video) has!
Along with just- Hazbin Hotel being an overall musical series!
Wow, I have no idea what this is but it's spectacular!
Helluva boss is an adult cartoon but with good comedy and beautiful moments
I just found your Channel, and _thank you_ for acknowledging that Stolas has an _English accent!_ I cannot tell you what it means to finally have someone say that and not claim he has a “British Accent”!
Thank you from an English Lioness and call me a new subscriber 💙🐱💙
If you want to hear heartbreaking belching you should listen to Owl in a Cage. The voice actor actually cries during the song
God! Out of all the reaction videos, this one was just -- 5:40 . Same reaction. Loved your analyzations of the song.
I have no idea about this but I enjoyed it and that’s what matters!
my friend showed it to me i was already entertained i was watching it for a year or 2
5:38 I react the same way every time I hear that part of the song 😂❤
Real
Excuse me, I did not start watching a show about funny imp people murdering people to be made to FEEL THINGS for an Owl demon noble.
.......
But please, do continue.
i have thoughts after re-watching this and watching the newest episode of helluva boss.
i don't think these two love birds are gunna get a happy ending......
from the amount of enemies blitz is stockpiling [sins, royalty, heaven, other lower class to even humans]
to the fact they can never just seem to talk things out with each other like adults.
and the fact this comedy is slowly becoming more tragedy
i think what we are looking at is a story similar to the star crossed lovers, "Romeo and Juliet".
a war is brewing and i hope blitz remembers when its all said and done to look his way.......
Watch the show, it's very good. Also, check out *House of Asmodeus* and *Two Minute Notice* from the show they're so good.
You can watch this and the entirity of helluva boss here without copyright issues
What's really cool about this song is that it's actually a fan made song that Vivzipop paid royalties to and made it canon.
Yessssss! Bro, helluva boss is so good! Even if you dont make a video about it, you should watch it!
I think people forget exactly much work goes into the animation and the skill that goes into it.
Your reaction captures mine perfectly
The amount of emotion made me cry like a baby and I still hear it on repeat
The singer is Broadway leading man and Tony nominee, Bryce Pinkham. He's got phenomenal range and he's best known (at this moment) as this character and for his turn as Monty Navarro in "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder".
As noted below, the song composition was originally by PARANOiD Dj. The television show is far more raunchy, but with that strong undercurrent of character development you see here. I believe the songs in the show (because it's a musical) are done by Sam Haft of the Living Tombstone. This song is a lovely piece for you to start on!
Oh I absolutely would love to hear you listen to more Helluva Boss songs! As many other commenters have stated; it's a very adult, explicity show however. Personally I'd recommend House of Asmodeus (VERY explicit), and two minute notice! (Many, many swears.)
And don't worry about pausing! We're here to watch you and hear your comments, if we want to hear the song we can listen to it on our own!
You really need to do the song “all to you” sung by the same character/va
Bryce is great at singing this might be my favorite song throughout the whole series.
I HAD EXACTLY THE SAME REACTION ON EVERY MOMENT 😭😭😭😭😭
Fan-made song, made canon. I genuinely get a cry faced everytime I hear it
Real😭😭😭
I don't know about this song specifically, but Bryce said he has cried during the recording of songs for the show.
Glad you enjoyed the song. Bryce really is something special, isn't he? 😊 I appreciated your opinions from a vocal standpoint.
This music video got me to binge the series on RUclips. It’s sooooo good!!!!
OMFG YOURE A DELIGHT TO WATCH!!! Please react to the other Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel songs PLEASE!!! Starting with Addict!!!
THANKS!
Vivziepop's channel is a true phenomenon. The talent attached to something like a RUclips Cartoon is unbelievable. Broadway voices, Popsingers, professional Voiceactors coupled with brilliant nuanced writing and amazing animation isn't something you come across often.
If you wanted to react to a series, helluva boss would be a great one! it is VERY inappropriate, but the visuals, voice acting, and emotional moments are amazing.
I’m not sure if I’ve heard the voice actor sing before (but I’m sure I have??) and I’m in LOVE. I adore how smooth and controlled his voice is and just ALSJDJJFJ so so good
Real
Would be awesome if you reacted to the hazbin hotel songs, most sung by broadway stars and I love most of them like "poison" "loser baby" and "hell is forever"
Real
bryce pinkham absolute legend it almost sounds real just for context he is in hell his name is stolas he is talking about blitz a lowerclassed demon that as seggs with him yeah he's gay anyways he actually caught feelings for blitz and blitz just thinks of what they have is just a deal stolas has a book and blitz needs that book to do his job and blitz and stolas have seggs as a deal so blitz can use the book the box that had that yellow crystal was from a friend of stolas the crystal is about the same use as the book and if stolas gives the crystal to blitz then they will stop interacting and blitz wont need his book that's why this song exists he is contemplating to give it to blitz
its very complicated
Don’t call my owl boy creepy
I would love to just watch you react to the songs of Helluva Boss, since this is a music based channel, but if you feel like creating a one off series of watching animated shows, Helluva Boss is top tier (BUT VERY ADULT!!! Don’t let this gorgeous song from Stolas fool you. He’s only non-explicit when he sings apparently lol)
I live to hear such insightful analysis! I always check out fandom reactions but it's so cool to hear some people knowledgeable in music talk about it!
As much as I personally love this song and how well it was done I just hate that it's not actually in the show
Real
The whole series is a musical so if you really want to you could either watch the whole series which is very very good even without the music or you could just look up the music videos from the episodes and react to those if you don’t feel like watching the whole series which is what I would recommend.
if you like this song i highly recommend watching the show and reacting to the songs from it theres a song in ever episode i believe and there all amazing
So, Big Fun Fact. This song was a fan made song made by ParanoidDJ that the creator of the series liked so much that they made it in to an official animated video sung by the voice actor for Stolas, the subject of the this video
You should totally check out the show.
The guy singing is called "Stolas (FAV CHARACTER), He is an owl,and he is the King/Prince of that world,He has feelings for Blitzø,Blitzø is part of his world,they met at a circus with a guy called "Fizzarolli" short formed "Fizz" And he is husbands with someone called Asmodeus,or should i say Ozzie,Stolas (The person singing) was best friends with Blitzø (Silent o),And he (Stolas) felt feelings for Blitzø,But Blitzø just sees him (Stolas) just as a friend,Stolas is married with a girl named Stella.
---
ETC:
Blitzø Works as a assasain,He (Blitzø) Works with Millie,Moxxie And Loona.
Loona is Blitzø's Step-Daughter.
Millie and Moxxie are married
---
I will spare more details when you see the show.
---
PLEASE I SPENT SO LONG ON THIS...
Quite a sad song.
this song makes me cry every fucking time, it's SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG
You're welcome
if you wanna see more of his voice listen to "youll be okay"
Hello, I am new to the channel, but I really enjoy your video.
I wanted to recommend a game OST to you. It’s purely instrumental, but it’s fantastic. It’s the OST from my favorite game Outer Wilds.
Some pieces of the OST I do really recommend would be:
„Outer Wilds“
„Timber Hearth“
„Final Voyage“
„Travelers“ (also „Travelers Encore“ from the DLC)
„Let There Be Light“
„14.3 Billion Years“
„Morning“
„Campfire Song“
„The River“ (also from the DLC)
But be aware, if you want to play the game yourself, it is really spoiler sensitive.
::)
He sounds slightly more American (well, he IS American) in this song, but the character is a Goetia Prince, and that does tend to make Americans veer toward going very English. He is also very considerably good at doing a posh English accent. He's done it on Broadway even more flawlessly than here. And in certain songs he is downright operatic.
Kinda sad a LARGE portion of people watching this video are people who don't know Helluva Boss and don't understand it going in. But it's still an amazing song and my heart breaks for Stolas...
I really liked your honest reaction for this. I would be thrilled to see your channel opening up reactions to anime/animation/vtuber related music because there is so much good music out there ! I hope you don't mind different languages in a song though.
Some anime recommendations to test if it suits your taste:
anime music:
TK - unravel (tokyo Ghoul opening)
Ado - Tot Musica (from One Peace film "Red")
Vtubers (I selected songs with strong emotional expression and good range since you liked this song from helluva boss):
- vtuber Serafina: 【Cover】Ticking Away ft. Grabbitz & bbno$ | Cover by Serafina | VALORANT Champions 2023 Anthem
- vtuber Nana Asteria: You and Beautiful World Yuyoyuppe - Nana Asteria Cover
- vtuber Juna Unagi :「 ストレンジ | STRANGE」 【JUNA UNAGI】 ¿?
[btw Valorant is also a Riot game ^^]
and some game company that does a lot of elaborate music projects I can highly recommend is Riot - widely known as League of Legends (name of the main game).
they created their own virtual bands (with their champions from the game and real artists singing the characters)
Heartsteel - paranoia
K/DA - popstars
K/DA - villian
K/DA - baddest
True Damage - Giants
Pentakill - Mortal Reminder
cool cinematics with really good music that they produce by their own(!) music department for the most part (in corporation with different bands and singers):
seasonal cinematic 2019 - Awaken
seasonal cinematic 2020 - Warriors
seasonal cinematic 2022 - The Call
Every of their 166 champions go his own champion theme - here a small selection to see how much variation there is:
- Aphelios, The Weapon of the Faithful | Champion Theme (ft. Laura Vall) - League of Legends
- Volibear: The Relentless Storm
- K’Sante, The Pride of Nazumah | Champion Theme
- Fiddlesticks, The Ancient Fear | Champion Theme - League of Legends
____________________________________________________________
Also a good one from Diablo IV (Blizzard Entertainment):
Halsey, SUGA - Lilith (Diablo IV Anthem)
I also recommend watching the Diablo IV cinematics but I am not sure if you want to react to sth. without music (only score). But I gotta say Diablo IV is dark - it is about demons and (fallen) angels.
Can you please describe (music) genres that you don't like so I can select my recommendations for you better?
In my layman's opinion, Stolas [Bryce Pinkham] has the best voice in the series, his songs are simply incredible! I recommend reacting to "When I See Him Tonight" [including the version with the "behind the scenes" singers] and "All 2 U." By the way, feel free to react to all the songs on Hazbin Hotel, they're amazing too! ♥

i love stolas sm YOU ARE LITERALLY SO ME JUST WANTING TO PAUSE EVERY 0.1 SECONDS AND ALL THE AH OOH WAH UH, TY FOR THE REACTION !
But he won't, will he? He'll never look. 'Cause he can't. He won't, and he can't. All-the-more reason why their relationship if we can even call it that, was right from the very beginning, doomed to sink and burn.
Watching this as someone who is absolutely obsessed with helluva boss, I genuinely started tearing up during the first few seconds 😭
I'm Japanese 🇯🇵
I want you to do xenoblade chronicles X's music reaction!
Came for the analysis cuz I love the breakdowns, stayed for your channel and what you do!
Wow, so many love, passion and longing frankly, how he handled things questionable he could’ve had a private chat with his wife and divorce her and ask his daughter. What does he want?
But I believe blitz actually does like him man he never received much of love, except his mother, and he tries to piece relationships like a broken bass, but even how hard he keep putting it back together it won’t fit into place even how much glue or duct tape use it’s not gonna stay it’s broken. You should try to look forward instead of being scared to be. looking in the past.
But I’m not a counselor understanding our relationships. I only had one that wasn’t really relationship. We never even went on one date loving the idea of the relationship feel like man I’m sorry me and relationships are really rocky. I try my best to be the person that they want to. It feels like it’s just a huge joke.
Only thing I just feel was dead inside,
Again, I am really sorry this wolf this this is really tough even for a song
I’m so afraid for the future episode, the full moon. I want these two to be happy like Fizz and Asmodeus.
Vivzie won't tag you for Copyright. She actually encourages whole reactions.
They've got a new song for this character where they actually show Bryce singing it.
ruclips.net/video/yXJRpH7t3_c/видео.html
To answer some of your questions and offer more info:
1. The show is American, and Bryce Pinkham (the singer here) is also American. But the character singing, Stolas, has an English accent that Bryce puts on for him, probably just because he's nobility and English accents always sound fancier 😁 To paraphrase Tom Ellis on his character choices for Lucifer, you can be a dick in an English accent and it's charming, but if you're a dick in an American accent, then you're just a dick 😂(Though there's another noble character in the show, played by an actual English woman, whose accent can't save her from being absolutely despised because she's a total bitch 😅)
2. The emotionality is wonderful, but also to be expected. Bryce is one of many cast members who are Broadway stars, and their skills are constantly shown off throughout the series, which has at least one musical number in every episode. Some other Broadway stars that are cast members: Alex Brightman (who played Beetlejuice in the musical version), James Monroe Iglehart (who played the Genie in the Broadway adaptation of Aladdin), and a guest appearance by Jonathan Freeman (Jafar in Aladdin). Even the non-broadway cast mostly have singing experience as well, as the show was conceptualized as a musical from the start, and casting choices made for that.
3. I don't have a third thing, but I do highly recommend watching Helluva Boss, even in your own time. It's *so good!*
Props to Paranoid DJ too, he wrote the song and Viv made it canon🥰🥰Bryce did a phenomenal job❤❤
I'd love to see reactions to the whole hazbin hotel playlist. And cotton candy and house of asmodeus from helluva boss
Thanks for this reaction.
I keep meaning to dive into the series, but this and the extends "You'll be ok" have cemented that I will.
Is is also an fan made song so check out the original song from them sounds just as amazing! It’s PARANOID DJ.
