Do NOT worry about pausing too much if you have something meaningful to say. If they want to hear the video they can go listen to it. This here is a REACTION VIDEO, so the point is actually YOUR REACTION. Just try to pause at the end of musical phrases so you’re not interrupting an incredible riff or something, and then roll it back a little so we can hear what you’re talking about in context. Great reaction! Keep it up!
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it, but this is filmed in Eli's old high school. One of the basement rooms has an old dental chair with "blood stains" on it--some horror movie was filmed there too. I was (eeek) in high school when this came out and this song was iconic. Of course, nobody singing it could hit that Tyler scream but VoicePlay nailed it. And in harmony no less! Omar was perfect for this one and Layne's vocal sound effects were amazing. Geoff's low notes balancing the tenors, and Cesar and Eli killed it as always. Those harmonies! It's kind of a post apocalyptic theme, but the "costumes" were pretty spot on for the late 80's. It's slowed down a bit from the original, but the video makes the lyrics that much more powerful. VoicePlay can do it all. Geoff is releasing a new one tomorrow on Patreon too.
By the way... Cesar is the one that did the super high note. I saw him in an interview with Mortius (reactor). Great interview. Cesar has a great personality as does all the guys.
I have watched this many times just to see your excitement every time you pause. Pausing is good when you do it because You cheer me up when I am down. Thank you.
1973 lol I love what they did with this song. BTW it's your reaction.. pause all you want.. we don't have to watch if we don't like it! I'm here for the reaction 🌹
Rob Dietz is an arranger that they have worked with occasionally for some time now. He did We’re Good, and a lot of their minis and TikTok videos. Usually if they use Rob he gets complete billing even if they tweak the arrangement some. So in this case, Geoff must have made significant changes or just collaborated with Rob. Otherwise Geoff wouldn’t be named. But usually either Geoff or Layne do an arrangement, then whoever does will take the lead on sets, costuming, makeup design, directing and editing the videos. (These days Eli does most of the lighting and they send the audio to Ed Boyer for final editing.) When a makeup artist is needed, their go to choice is Rick Underwood, who has been working with them for years. Sometimes Geoff and Layne control the camera(s), but most often they have a cameraman and his assistant. Geoff and Layne alternate videos, but since they are doing almost everything themselves it would be nearly impossible to do two full videos a month. (Believe me - I think most of their fans would wish for more.) and that’s without doing live shows. (Things got a little backed up last month when they opened a show in Colorado for Ryan Tedder.). So unfortunately I think all we can expect is one full video and a handful of minis and/or TikTok videos. But we know that whatever we get will be the highest quality, because they control everything.
Love your excitement. Love the song. Your pausing was because you were giving your reaction to what you had just heard. The no pausing crew can always go see the full song on VP's channel.. Which i would hope they would do anyway.
You can pause as much as you want, just keep showing those dimples, 😂. Throughly enjoy your reactions. Geoff really grounds the beautiful high harmonies, and Lane's percussion, just wow!😮
Firstly I don't know why people watch reactions if they hate pauses the original video exists! This is a fantastic arrangement by Geoff I just love everything he does tbh. Although a month seems a long time to wait we also get one a month from solo Geoff. I'd rather have this quality once a month than a half arsed affair more regularly. I do love Omar with VP but I also like Ashley & Rachel etc. The four boys plus whatever extra voice fits is my preference. Glad you enjoyed this so much.
Great reaction. Every single one of your pauses was about the music, and I never have a problem with that. Rob Dietz did We're Good, Magic Dance, Halloween Singers go Psycho, Remember Me and Holiday Movie Mini Medley. The first was full length, the others are minis. (And if you've been skipping over the minis, you should go back and pick them up, 2-3 at a time. They're little gems. My personal theory is that Layne was trying a lot of new stuff in the sound effect minis, and it was fun to hear everyone doing them. But I could be dead wrong.
Pausing is the point of reaction videos, to stop when you hear something cool or interesting and talk about it. some people prefer to listen to the whole sing without pausing, and then talk about it at the end, or play it a second time with pausing then. but most reactors do what you do, pause when they hear something they want to talk about. people pausing just to pause is annoying, but when you have something to say about what you just heard, it's totally valid to pause. a good middle way could be to wait with pausing till the end of a sentence or verse, and then rewind a bit to catch the transition. but just pause when ever you feel like it, there will always be people who get annoyed about any pausing in the music at all. the benefit of pausing and then do a small rewind of like 5 or 10 seconds, is that you don't accidentally ruin the experience of a really cool part that you might overlook due to pausing at that exact moment. i've seen reactors accidentally pause in some of the best parts of the song that people specifically come to watch them get mindblown over, and then totally miss it. :-)
For as much as I love Voice Play, I love watching your reactions. Watching your reactions to voice Play is like watching kids open up their Christmas gifts on Christmas morning. You are without a doubt my favorite reactor. Thank you so much ❤️
Aerosmith released this in 1973. I saw them in concert doing this. Same great vibe. Great reaction. You are a reactor and I expect you to pause. Do not worry about that.
I love Geoff so much. I love Layne & his beat boxing never ceases to amaze me. I love the little scurrying sound he did in this one. It makes me think of a critter running across the floor that are often found in abandoned buildings like this. Totally awesome ! Most of all I love the ending high notes that Omar, Cesar & Eli did at the end. The three of them together are phenomenal. I got the chills at the last ending word.
Just found you while searching For Home Free reactions - so happy! Love your reaction to good music - you can see your joy on your face. As for the negative comment - week, duh, it’s a REACTION video! How the heck are you supposed to react if you DON’T pause the video. Carry on, PappyD, we’re with you!
Pausing can be irritating but more irritating to me is when reactors talk over the video, thereby missing some of what's going on. This is just phenomenal, Geoff's sweet deep notes, just delicious.
I'm not a big Voiceplay fan, but this is fabulous. And your reaction made it even better. Anybody who complains about a reactor pausing needs to just go and watch the original video. And you don't talk over the music, which is SOOOOOO annoying. Keep up the great work!
Good pauses and rewinds are what a great reactor does. You're doing great... there will always be that negative person complaining about it. I am not a reactor, per se, but have helped in livestreams with other reactors -- giving my 2 cents on video; in a stream with multiple people -- so I understand how it works. Again, your method is perfect, in my opinion.
Don't worry about getting any negative comments. That is a sure sign that you are moving up in the RUclips world. You actually pause much less than most reactors, and honestly, I believe that is part of what reacting is about! I get tons of negative comments all the time, so it is just something you get used to. When it really feels good are when your subscribers defend you...LOL! Let me be one of the first!
6:45 No key change in sight here. Just Geoff reaching down towards his boots to ground the tenors reaching for the ceiling - but all still in the original key.
Loved your reaction! Reaction videos are supposed to have pauses to talk about the video. It's a reaction video, if you want to watch it without pauses watch the original video :)
I never watched you before. I watch reaction videos to see an honest reaction. I don't care how many times you pause. It's your channel. I will be watching you again. I enjoyed this video!
You did a fantastic job. Loved your reaction. To me, pausing is part of a reaction video. If you want uninterrupted viewing go watch the original. I, also, like that once paused you rewind a bit when you restart. Keep up the good work and don't let the naysayers ruin your fun.
This is a reaction video, pause as often as you like. Would rather you spoke out when you hear/see something than you waiting until the end then commenting. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your reaction, I love your excitement! This was another VoicePlay epic and I loved it! Echoing everyone else, pausing to comment is the point. The only time reactors (for me) are annoying is when they talk over the video, so you can't hear the song or what they're saying! I look forward to your next reaction! 🙂👍
I kinda figure if I'm watching a reaction video it would be counter productive to complain about the reactions. Go ahead and pause as much as you need to I'm here for it. If I want to listen to a song I'll go to the source.
Loving the reactions, your energy is really nice for both the calm and the intense moments! I'm very curious about 5:38, you mentioned VP's "Greatest Showman Medley", and I would be interested in hearing what your full thoughts were (or condensed thoughts). It seems like you considered it an outlier to their arrangement skills, like you don't enjoy it as much as others? Which is totally fair, each to their own of course, I'm just very curious as to the reasons 😊
I'm pretty certain that people pause alot when they first listen to these songs. Pause and go back to hear things again or just process what was heard. Don't fret too much about pausing. I think if you don't pause when listening to Voiceplay you might break your brain 🤪
I’ve never understood complaining about pausing in a REACTION video. If they want to see the video uninterrupted, go watch the original BEFORE watching reactions. 🙄🙄🙄
Unlike a lot of the others, this has never been one of my favorites. A lot of the 80s bands were just full of too much loud screaming for me. I like to hear the lyrics. Bad music? Absolutely not! Just not normally what I enjoyed. However… This has transformed the song for me. Some viewers have complained that it was too restrained, but I thought it was phenomenal. I loved the poignancy of the way they treated this. And I am glad they did that iconic “dream on” up in the stratosphere that paid honor to the original while still making at their own. But for the first time since that came out I actually listened carefully to the lyrics and as a result I’m gonna go back and check out the Aerosmith version - maybe my tastes have changed. VP is a powerful thing! And don’t worry about the pausing - you always have something good to say. I did have to laugh at the end when you put on your little pouty face. What it do Dave had exactly the same expression on his face when it got to the end.😫
Don t sorry about pausing. I've seen reactors that pause way more. Also. If they don't like it there are plenty of other people reacting. Or they can go straight to the artists songs on their channel. It's your way of reacting. Everyone is different. Some don't pause. Some a little. To each their own.
All of the acapella vocal bands have sort of turned me off from bands with "real" instruments. When they do a cover you really hear the lyrics. I have my three favorites. Home Free tops the list with Voice Play then PTX. Tend to stick with Home Free and Voice Play....maybe just the songs they pick. Not so pop?
I find ptx too commercial and their videos are kinda boring. More of them posing with perfect backdrops. It just doesn't channel the meaning of the music for me. I like home free too. They are fun to watch
@@laundrygoddess4 To me, PTX is so polished that they come off as slick. Pretty, but I just don’t connect. Although I do NOT (usually) do country ( or maybe it is C& W - it’s that twang I think) I always check out HF and Tim. They cross genres and are so talented and entertaining. If I pass on something, it is always the song, and never the performance.

Love how Omar’s voice just cuts through like a hot knife on “Everybody’s got their dues to pay.” Crystal clear and powerful!

I'm a huge Aerosmith fan and Dream On is my absolute favorite song by them. VoicePlay did it justice.
How can you not pause? They're voices are so awesome! Geoff's subs again, are amazing! He's awesome! Wish I could see these guys in concert!
Pause away when it moves you!!! I love to see your genuine emotions. VoicePlay is incredible!!
So costumes. Bass ++++++. Highs. Costumes and layout. Plus that hair. Ya he’s a robot.

@@kelleyoneal2578 as it happens VP & Geoff don’t block but I think that’s true of most videos
@@carolfranklin ah OK. Wasn't sure if it was a RUclips rule or group by group basis. Thanks for clarifying.
I love all their guest singers and I kind of like the change up. It allows for a greater range of song possibilities.

That wasn't a key change. They just jumped up a whole extra octave. I wondered if they could reach that high. I needn't have worried.
My only problem is that the song is too short. They need to remix a longer version of this. It’s awesome 👏
