Just when I say they can't get better..........amazing! Rachel was the understudy for Glinda on Broadway. Emoni is a powerhouse too, but I have to give props to Layne in this one. His vocal perc was astonishing. Everyone just sounds so good together and are so talented. Geoff worked on this for years and he finally got the perfect "cast" to sing it. Also, Geoff's new solo song is the best one he's done to date. I'm a huge fan of his bass, but it's his bare-tenor that made me cry. Shenandoah is such a moving song and he nails it perfectly.
Cesar has been such a good addition to the group. I love geoffs look at him after his kill the witch. Cesar pure joy at seeing bubbles, and the was Cesar looks at him during the I have been changed bit.
Next one on the list is the Greatest Showman medley, right? This one was fun to watch. It was great to see you appreciate the time Geoff put into this arrangement, too. I know he said he slaved over it for a long, long time before he found the right feel, the right voices to perform it, too, I'm sure. But, it's one of their best, for sure.
Emoni has sung with VoicePlay on a few videos, as well as touring with them on the Sing Off tour. She's fantastic; one of those voices I kind of wish they collaborated with more often. She also seems like a truly lovely person, which is always nice. I really wanted to point out a couple of Geoff's recent releases to you. As you know from watching this Wicked medley, Geoff's arrangements have gotten so amazing of late, and his last two solo releases also reflect that. I know it's not Christmas season any longer, but if you haven't seen his rendition of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, then you are seriously missing out. He has updated that old carol, while still maintaining its essence entirely. I don't know how he does it. (Also, thanks to that video, I now know what a Picardy Third is. Thanks for the music theory education, Geoff!) And then there's his most recent cover, Shenandoah. This is a choral standard, at least in certain parts of the US (my daughter sang it from middle school through high school, pretty much on a yearly basis in either her chorus class or in district assessment). It's a sweet song, but as usual, Geoff transforms it into something absolutely sublime. It will about bring tears to your eyes, it's so lovely. Please do check them out- you don't want to miss these!
This is why I love your reactions. Most reactors are either pure emotion or pure technical analysis. You give us the perfect mix of both, and manage to make sure that neither one is lacking. Absolutely one of my favorite reactors - keep up the incredible work!
Yes Emoni actually has sung with Voiceplay during The Sing Off Tour. Emoni was actually on season 4 with her group Ten , with Voiceplay and Home Free. This is absolutely amazing for sure. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to these songs.
This is soo good!! Probobly my favorite from Voiceplay by far. And Rachel, at the end, is just spectacular! Seeing them perform live, in the flesh is gonna be on my bucket list! 🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕 #subscriptionsquad
That was Rachel's 10th collaboration with Voiceplay and Emoni's 6th official video one because she has been with Voiceplay on sing off tour and are life long friends!
Loved your review, it really highlighted the richness of the arrangement as well as the vocals. i am also an avid Glee fan too, I miss it so much! Thank you for doing these reviews, they are so entertaining!
Definitely agree with Greatest Showman Medley by Voiceplay #subscriptionsquad. Fantastic reaction BTW. This is a top 3 VP song for me, and Defying Gravity was so amazing, that alone could be a top 3 VP song.
Great reaction! This is such an amazing performance and arrangement from VoicePlay. Emoni has collaborated with them a few times, but I'd specifically recommend checking out either The Bones (so underrated and so beautiful) or Just Sing (a video for charity which features a bunch of performers VoicePlay has collaborated with over the years - if you watch this one, make sure you turn on the captions to know who's who!). Also recommending Geoff's newest video, Shenandoah. It's one of the most beautiful things he's done yet.
Love this. Geoffs 7min plus Beast he said years in the making. Eli is turning into an awesome lighting geek. This is perfect. I also get goosebumps with their new year's release of The Greatest Showman Medley. Rachel was Glenda in the theatre.
Love watching your videos!! I think you should watch more of Geoff’s solo work, I’d recommend Blackbird and Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold! He’s amazing!
Just found your channel in my feed this morning and subbed IMMEDIATELY after watching this reaction!! I absolutely LOVE Voiceplay!! I can’t get enough!! ❤
I think you would REALLY enjoy Voiceplay's Just Sing! It features 20 or so singers, including both Rachel and Emoni (as well as a number of notable past collaborators and Voiceplay members). It also has captions noting on the singers resume highlights and/ or how Voiceplay met them. Closed Captions on is a must. Truly awesome video!
When you stopped and talked about Emoni and Rachel switching 'roles' for the song, I totally got what you were saying, but I was like, she'll get it when the rest of the song plays out.
I loved watching your reaction to this! Your love for the music and the joy in every bounce is infectious. Please, please, please react to Geoff's most recent, Shenandoah. And if you aren't tired of Christmas, his God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
I like the way the sing ❤❤😊 and especially i appreciate you Danielle for reacted this song and some another songs of accapellas group. It is because of your reacted and all the explaination parts of every songs you give i know to sing especially the bass i love that geoffe sing😊😊❤❤
The arrangement is superb vocals as always fantastic but the harmony in this is truly angelic ironic being from wicked lol but wow wow wow so good chills don't even describe the feeling
Yes Emoni has sung with them before, offhand I think of The Bones, when Earl left the group. previously there is one the title of which escapes me but it's about a a bubble yum bum. :) I'm sure there are others but can't think just now. Also she sang with them on the Sing Offs.
Every one of them had a moment or two, but I think Eli absolutely killed it. I also loved when Caesar yelled, "Kill the witch," and Geoff basically told him to chill. Emoni was in the group TEN, which came in second to Home Free in the Sing Off.
LOVED your reaction!! I agree with everything you said and pointed out much of the same thing myself. The musical transition to Defying Gravity was EVERYTHING!!! Awesome!
I think I read that Rachel understudied for Glinda in the national touring company of Wicked, so she might have asked for a shot at Elphaba. Loved this reaction!!
You should check out the last cover of Geoff 😊. Also, if you like bass, you must at least listen one time to Tim Storms cover of Lonesome Road or nearer.
Hey! I believe the reason they cast Rachel as Glinda was because she actually was the understudy in traveling Wicked for 2 years on broadway, so it made a lot of sense. It’s somewhere in here credentials if you look up rachel potter wicked - thought that might help with the thought of why they cast her instead of vice versa!
Danielle I got to see this live for my first time 3 years ago and I was humming every song it was funny I didn’t realize it until funnily enough the end of act 1 with this song. I love Voiceplay I discovered these guys myself by accident scrolling RUclips
I'm surprised no one talks about the incorporation of bell tones in "For Good". Most tend to use bell tones to ascend the scale; they decided to flip it and it's subtle but so cool to lead into the resolving chord.
Emoni has sung with them in a few videos. Plus she is sings in The Villians Lair by PattyCake Productions which is Layne and Tony Wakim’s company. You should check some of those out.
I think they broke Danielle with this one. :) Last time I saw this kind of reaction was Geoff's bass drop at the end of Oogie Boogie. Such a joyful reaction. Joined my pantheon of reactions to rewatch.
I think that's the point of it, you'd expect Glenda to be more princess y and high but they made her the deeper different sound and Vice versa with Elphaba (Alphaba?) it makes this one unique from other covers
Ooh please please react to Defying Gravity ~ Superfuit! I think you'll really enjoy it. Competitively, it's way less of a production but so so worth it!
I always love your reactions. I know you really like it when you start to sing along, when it's good, you just want to be there singing with them. You really must do The Greatest Showman next though, for a full production it's really one of their best, it even outshines Hoist The Colours. #subscriptionsquad
No, Rachel and Emoni shouldn't switch roles. You'll see (and hear) why shortly...........waits for 'Defying Gravity'........That's why. It took Geoff several years to do the arrangement for this. Eli did the lighting design per usual lately. This is their best medley by far. I'm sure you'll eventually get around to their Greatest Showman Medley, but I don't think it measures up to this one.
I think you may need some new headphones because the ones you have apparently don’t let you hear any of Geoff’s magical bass line, just the high notes. 🤨
How has she not checked out Pentatonix? I see she's reacted to both Voiceplay and Voctave for months. She doesn't like Pentaholics? Or is she afraid of watching the best a capella group in the world who made history more than once and shattered the glass ceiling for a cappella groups and gave them a shot in the real music world? 😁😉💕🤗 (Please react to Pentatonix🥺🙏)
I LOVEE pentatonix! I grew up listening to them and loving all of the arrangements even did a couple for high school choir!! I plan on reacting soon, i just have liked bringing more attention to these groups on RUclips because they are so talented too!! Don’t worry, soon enough! ❤️😍
Rachel actually understudied as Glinda for the wicked national tour for a while!
Just when I say they can't get better..........amazing! Rachel was the understudy for Glinda on Broadway. Emoni is a powerhouse too, but I have to give props to Layne in this one.

Love your reviews!!!! I still think you need to do a review of Voiceplay's "We're Good"....
Yes! On the list!
Emoni has sung with VoicePlay on a few videos, as well as touring with them on the Sing Off tour. She's fantastic; one of those voices I kind of wish they collaborated with more often. She also seems like a truly lovely person, which is always nice.

I loved this one. The arrangement was wonderful and the vocals were stunning. Thanks for your reaction
Rachel really wanted the part she is doing here. She had a lot of Glinda behind her.
This is why I love your reactions. Most reactors are either pure emotion or pure technical analysis. You give us the perfect mix of both, and manage to make sure that neither one is lacking. Absolutely one of my favorite reactors - keep up the incredible work!

This bass is why I got extra bass headphones. VP is so good. Never disappoints

Loved your review, it really highlighted the richness of the arrangement as well as the vocals. i am also an avid Glee fan too, I miss it so much! Thank you for doing these reviews, they are so entertaining!
I personally think this is the best thing they have ever done, an absolute masterpiece!

I'm a huge fan of The Bones.
Emoni performed with them in “The Bones “ and blew it out of the park..plus she cameo’d in Sing...
Pausing here at 11:56 mark because I know what's coming and Danielle doesn't. Buckle your seatbelt Danielle!
This has to be one of my favorite reactions to this medley, the sheer joy it was showing on your face was great!!
Love this. Geoffs 7min plus Beast he said years in the making. Eli is turning into an awesome lighting geek. This is perfect. I also get goosebumps with their new year's release of The Greatest Showman Medley. Rachel was Glenda in the theatre.
Emoni Wilkins was in "Just Sing". I don't know if she was in anything else with Voiceplay.
loved the performance. loved the reaction and breakdown. loved everything about this. love you coach! ❤🙏
#subscriptionsquad
Your enthusiasm and excitement was contagious. Of all your fantastic videos, this is one of the best.
Of course we watched Glee! Love this medley and your reaction!❤️
your joy is infectious! ❤️🏴
I honestly don’t know how you make it through these reactions without bawling. This arrangement is downright perfection
Love watching your videos!! I think you should watch more of Geoff’s solo work, I’d recommend Blackbird and Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold! He’s amazing!
Just found your channel in my feed this morning and subbed IMMEDIATELY after watching this reaction!! I absolutely LOVE Voiceplay!! I can’t get enough!! ❤
I loved this since day one! 🔥💯. Thanks for explaining why we do love it so much, Danielle! 💖

She sang with them in “I Love Me” too, which I think is great!! It was also when Tony was still their baritone, but after bubble gum.
Awesome reaction Danielle!! Seeing you get so excited is a blast!
I remember when I saw Wicked I literally bawled at For Good definitely the best show I've seen on Broadway
They blew the house up🌪🌪
Great performance 🙏🙏✌️🤘
Every one of them had a moment or two, but I think Eli absolutely killed it.

After hearing Eli and Rachel in this I am desperate for them to sing As Long As You're Mine together. It would be *so* beautiful.

It’s somewhere in here credentials if you look up rachel potter wicked - thought that might help with the thought of why they cast her instead of vice versa!
When Rachel started singing I got goose bumps in my leg
Danielle I got to see this live for my first time 3 years ago and I was humming every song it was funny I didn’t realize it until funnily enough the end of act 1 with this song. I love Voiceplay I discovered these guys myself by accident scrolling RUclips
If you haven’t seen it, you should do a reaction to Voiceplay’s HOIST THE COLOURS absolutely incredible xx
tbh i think i watch this video once a week, absolutely love your reaction to it :)
Eli's rock Tenor is awesome. Rachel and Imani are fabulous. The song picks are so well suited to all of them
Great reaction Emoni has collaborated with Voiceplay on a few songs, including their cover of Beyoncé’s Love On Top 👍👍👍
Been waiting so patiently for your reaction to this. Was worth the wait.😀
I'm surprised no one talks about the incorporation of bell tones in "For Good". Most tend to use bell tones to ascend the scale; they decided to flip it and it's subtle but so cool to lead into the resolving chord.
Emoni has sung with them in a few videos. Plus she is sings in The Villians Lair by PattyCake Productions which is Layne and Tony Wakim’s company. You should check some of those out.
Me just patient waiting for Danielle to react to Joshua bassets new songs :)
I think Rachel sang most of Elpheba because she played Elpheba in the touring company of WICKED. ❤️
Voctave and Vocal Majority - A Million Dreams
I love Rachel Potter! I wish her more success on her career.
I think they broke Danielle with this one. :) Last time I saw this kind of reaction was Geoff's bass drop at the end of Oogie Boogie. Such a joyful reaction. Joined my pantheon of reactions to rewatch.
I think that's the point of it, you'd expect Glenda to be more princess y and high but they made her the deeper different sound and Vice versa with Elphaba (Alphaba?) it makes this one unique from other covers
Waiting 😍♥️
How about a tribute to this and the studio with a reaction to phantom of the opera?
I have been waiting for you to do this and now I am so happy!! ( next is the Greatest Showman!)
Ooh please please react to Defying Gravity ~ Superfuit! I think you'll really enjoy it. Competitively, it's way less of a production but so so worth it!
Emoni did a great version of The Bones with Voiceplay. Loved your reaction to this.
If you want to know who Voiceplay has recorded/performed with, go listen to Just Sing! Make sure to turn on the captions.
Hey have you seen the new VoicePlay vid DragonBourne Comes!?! Lots of eye popping moments in this one.
I always love your reactions. I know you really like it when you start to sing along, when it's good, you just want to be there singing with them.
You really must do The Greatest Showman next though, for a full production it's really one of their best, it even outshines Hoist The Colours. #subscriptionsquad
new subscriber here from the Philippines! have you tried reacting to "See You Again" by KZ Tandingan? ❤️
If you want another song with Emoni she was in VoicePlay’s cover of The Bones and it’s one of my favorites
#subscriptionsquad. You should review The Dragonborn Comes by voiceplay. Please!
i think she wanted to do the Elphaba because she played Glinda in Wicked on Stage
yeah.. next.. The Greatest Showman Medley
Rachel sounds so much like Eden Espinosa and it’s crazy lol
Emoni did sang in “the bones” with voice play
How do you like those earbuds? Those are the ultimate ears ones right? I've been curious about them for a while
Hi Danielle, I love your reaction videos. Please do react to Taylor Swift's All Too Well 10-minute version. Thank you! Have a nice day.
I would love to know what Geoff’s last note was !!
How has no one noticed at 5:13 when emoni sings "sister and advisor" she actually says stister
No, Rachel and Emoni shouldn't switch roles. You'll see (and hear) why shortly...........waits for 'Defying Gravity'........That's why. It took Geoff several years to do the arrangement for this. Eli did the lighting design per usual lately. This is their best medley by far. I'm sure you'll eventually get around to their Greatest Showman Medley, but I don't think it measures up to this one.
You need to react to oggie's boggie song of voiceplay i think it's gonna blow your mind.
who arranged this.....chords anchored by Geoff......unsung hero : Layne..... last note by Geoff !!!!!!
Fun fact Rachel actually understudied Galina in the national tour
'WHEW!!!!!!!!'
I love Rachel
I think you may need some new headphones because the ones you have apparently don’t let you hear any of Geoff’s magical bass line, just the high notes. 🤨
Please react to Katrina Velarde's vocal range coach Danielle❤❤❤ you'll like it. Please🙏🙏🙏 I've been requesting it for a long time please notice me
Can I just say I’m totally distracted by just how beautiful you are I can’t even look at voiceplay.
I think their Greatest Showman medley was EVEN BETTER than this one. Can't recommend it enough.
Ahhh nope
How has she not checked out Pentatonix? I see she's reacted to both Voiceplay and Voctave for months. She doesn't like Pentaholics? Or is she afraid of watching the best a capella group in the world who made history more than once and shattered the glass ceiling for a cappella groups and gave them a shot in the real music world? 😁😉💕🤗
(Please react to Pentatonix🥺🙏)
I LOVEE pentatonix! I grew up listening to them and loving all of the arrangements even did a couple for high school choir!! I plan on reacting soon, i just have liked bringing more attention to these groups on RUclips because they are so talented too!! Don’t worry, soon enough! ❤️😍
@@daniellemariesings That's wonderful. I look forward to seeing them. 💕🤗
Maybe don’t pause it so much. Lol. We’re all hearing the harmonies.
The full uninterrupted version is listed in the credits. Reactors usually pause rather than talk over the performance.
These reactions give me so much joy! Still holding out for Geoff's 16 Tons!
