Mr. DJ….my name is Tiffany Coburn and I’m the 2nd soprano in Voctave. I cannot tell you how very VERY honored and humbled I was by your high compliments and extremely kind words. It’s not everyday an arranger like Jamey Ray comes along and offers us the opportunity to get to sing songs like this! Ha!!!! WE ARE BLESSED and so extremely grateful for new friends like you that give us such beautiful encouragement and support. It pushes us along to the next thing….whatever that may be. You and all of these friends in the comments…..THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND FOR LISTENING TO OUR MUSIC. ❤️

Thank you Tiffany and all the members of Voctave for using your God Given voices to bless all of us with Your music

The woman you'd like to give $5mil too is Tiffany Coburn. She was just nominated for a Dove Award for INSPIRATIONAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR for her album "You Are More". She's my favorite singer on the planet.

The language at the end is Hebrew. It is based on a popular song in Judaism. The lyrics and translation are as follows: "Ashira ladonai ki gaoh gaah, Ashira ladonai ki gaoh gaah, Michamocha baelim adonai, Mikamocha nedarba kodesh, Nachitah v'chas d'cha am zu gaalta, Nachitah v'chas d'cha am zu gaalta, Ashira, ashira, ashira..." "I will sing to the lord, for He has triumphed gloriously, I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously, Who is like you, O Lord, among the Celestial? Who is like you, majestic in Holiness? In your love You lead the people You redeemed, I will sing, I will sing, I will sing..."

Dang right! I remember the first time I saw the movie when it first came out and only a couple years ago, I FINALLY found it again, this time on DVD. Deliver Us and When You Believe STILL gives me chills!

Kate is the high soprano and Tiffany is the soprano that you were asking about! Also you should give some credit to Jamey Ray for his arrangements! He does the arrangements of this group and actually founded Voctave! Also, he is my professor at Rollins College!☺️ love your reactions btw♥️

I was just about to hit the bed man, and you hit me with this reaction. DJ the dissection of this was superb. In a couple places you asked who was singing, and I believe the lead for "When you Believe" was Tiffany Coburn. Her voice is supreme, and I felt like I was hearing her specific tone there. The super high soprano is Kate Lott. I had the pleasure of meeting several members of this group including both of those listed when we visited Disney World a few years back. Kinder people you'll never meet man. Always appreciate the education and as the musicians step up, so do you boss. Be well DJ!

In terms of intricate arrangement and flawless execution, I think this is their best track ever, and that's saying quite a bit.

Tiffany Coburn is the one you're asking about. She recently came out with her own album. It very good as well! Loved the reaction!

Tiffany 🌹 she’s one of the Sops she sings the Soprano but she also has an high extension in her top range! She’s fabulous and an amazing singer/ storyteller. CHECK OUT… IMPOSSIBLE DREAM and OH HOLY NIGHT by Voctave ! Tiff sings lead on both and will absolutely blow your mind and bring you to tears if your not careful 🥺💜💜💜

This musical piece makes me cry from some deep place inside me...every single time.

"On the verge of geeking out" reactions are the best reactions. Like you, this combined two of my favorite things: The Prince of Egypt and Voctave. What is not to love? Their harmonies, arrangements and musicality are unmatched by any other group in my humble opinion. Always enjoy your explanations and ability to teach some basic music theory, but genuinely appreciated that this was just a touch too powerful and personal to add those this time (with a few exceptions, of course). Great reaction. Thank you, DJ! I know Voctave reactions don't give you the "views" of other acts, but LOVE that you keep coming back because you enjoy and appreciate it.

Thank you for reacting to Voctave! 😍🤗 Tiffany singing "Many nights we prayed" did the lead vocal on their cover of "Impossible Dream" it is spectacular!!

Tiffany Coburn. Beautiful inside and out

Oh wow. Didn't know this music. Now I'm in LOVE with it!!

Voctave’s arrangement of this is, in my opinion, the best out there hands down. Great reaction! If you would like (reaction would be awesome, too), the next best Prince Of Egypt arrangement would be any of Sam Robson’s work. My favorite is his “Deliver Us” piece. His editing alone is worthy of a reaction! (His voice is amazing, too, of course). I bet your fanbase would dig it as much as you. Cheers!

Hey man, really nice work. Great analysis. I'm late to the party, so I'm sure people have told you this, but the section in When You Believe is done in Hebrew. Just wanted to drop a comment and compliment your work. I love what you said about how "ooo's" are more narrow and pointed and how "ahhh's" fill more space. Really great observation and you put it in really simple terms. Great teaching moment. Really well done overall. Thank you.

I love watching someone else get as many goosebumps as I do when I hear their arrangement. It’s so beautiful, sometimes I burst right into tears at the first “deliver us” ❤❤❤

The 12:21 point loved the "uhs" filling in the low end and then the melodic shift to harmonize with the lead singer taking the new song. Just that transition got me. The Hebrew language and musical sensibilities really shone powerfully in Voctave's arrangement, and they have the voices to deliver it! Loved your reaction and enjoyment as always, especially since this soundtrack was close to your heart. Loved how you "selfishly" (as you put it) went back to listen again and again to the awesomeness they were putting out. 😂 Powerful song. Powerful group. Powerful reaction. 🙌

This is great! You’ve made the comment before that one should listen with their eyes closed. This is a perfect example of why!! Every single time, I hear something I didn’t hear before. Voctave is more of a vocal ochestra than a choir. They really do sound like a full orchestra, filling all the space around and behind the lead. Also Sarah Harmonizing with Tiffany…

OK, well, first comment I have to make is TUNA? ok, have you ever been held paralyzed by goosebumps? I could not move for a full two minutes while the sensation washed over me. Now i am being held hostage by an immense feeling of guilt, I am such a PTX-head, and having enjoyed this, I feel like i have committed some form of adultery. DJ, if you ever need to know why I (we) are completely loyal to your reaction videos, watch your reaction here again. the way you carry us through this piece of music is absolutely stellar. you took my ignorant ears through this amazing garden of delight. Until this piece, Voctive never jeopardized my relationship with Pentatonix, but this is the best I have heard of them. BRAVO VOCTIVE. if you want another really good redition, BYU Noteworthy has a release of When You Believe worth a a listen.

Was waiting for you to react to this one! One of my favorite arrangements of theirs. Great reaction

As others have said, yes it is Hebrew, but specifically the words are from Exodus 15:1, 11, 13, the Song of the Sea which is sung following the crossing of the Red Sea.

Yes! This is one of my favorites, I have this on repeat on my playlist! 😁

This medley gives me the tingles in the back of my head and neck. Doesn't Kate sound like a theremin at the beginning? Also, if you want to hear Tiffany Coburn at her best, check out their O Holy Night.

This was the very best they have. I’m so sad they don’t have a video with it. But it doesn’t even matter. Stunning

Kate Lott is your first soprano Tiffany is your second soprano

Hearing these songs in acapella makes me shiver. Amazing

So glad I subscribed. Such a pleasure WATCHING you react, and hearing your insights!

Hey man GREAT reaction! I can’t help but think I may have influenced your watching of this lol but anyways this was such an intricate and well-informed breakdown of the musical themes, meanings, and vocal arrangement. As always, educated and entertaining content. Keep up the good work!

Every time I hear this I get goosebumps all over.. so nostalgic and pure en SO GOOD. And your explanation and review is interesting! Thank you❤️💪🏻

I’m always excited for more Prince of Egypt, a favorite of mine and the soundtrack is just phenomenal really. Voctave did a stunning job ☺️

Super powerful music. At times it got me in the feels. Nothing like the fullness of Voctave. Kate's high whistle tone, and the strong bass notes on both ends of the vocal spectrum has me with goosebumps. Loved the movie, but the soundtrack adds so much more to it. Strong reaction to it. Loved the interviews last night. Keep it up DJ !

Beautifully arranged and performed! I wish they would've followed the movie order of the songs. It definitely threw me off in the middle. Also, the super high soprano is Kate Lott.

There is a orchestra and choir version of Deliver Us from the National Taiwan chorus that's particularly good.

From the same album....Being Alive feat. David Phelps. Absolute perfection!

Also a lover of prince of Egypt, Johnathan Young and Caleb Hyles does an amazing job with the songs with rock feel covers! Deliver us is super powerful!

Hi there, Israel! Welcome to our family :)

Absolutely Hebrew and they did an unbelievable job on the pronunciation. Many times you'll hear choirs performing a piece in Hebrew and they miss the guttural "h" sound. Which to my Jewish ears ruins the beauty of the language.

I only have one issue with this arrangement. They changed the lyrics in All I Ever Wanted from "this is my home" to "now I am home". I feel like it changed the important meaning of the line. "This is my home" is Moses trying to convince himself that this revelation that he is a Jew doesn't matter. "Now I am home" doesn't really make sense in the context of the song and almost has the opposite intended meaning of the line.
