A Dave a day makes a depression go away

Thanks so much for your going back to older Voice Play- love your reactions! Voice Play is so versatile in that their theatrical productions have evolved into something amazing but they still give us the raw acapella by continuing to release three mini/shorts every month. I agree about Geoff's higher range as he has worked so hard on that as he gets older and his voice gets deeper (I am more blown away by his high notes now!) Speaking of minis and Geoff's high range, I still recommend that you check out Voice Play's mini, "Peaches" as it reminds us that Geoff may be an alien.

(some of us don't need any reminding that Geoff IS, in fact, an alien from another dimension... as are ALL of VoicePlay and the artists they collaborate with lol)

Yes! This is one of my absolute all time favorites from VoicePlay! Love the random VP drop, Dave, and great insights as usual. I'd give you all 300 likes if I could.

Thank you so much for digging around and finding that you hadn't reacted to this, I LOVE this cover! Three hundred likes should be cake for this!! Come on folks, hit that like button!!

Thank you for coming back to VP so often ❤

Oh I am so glad a reactor has finally mentioned the “vocoder” section! That’s my favorite part! Geoff singing the words with bass, instead of a bass line, along with the tight harmonies is what gives it that cool effect. This is one of their most severely underrated covers, for sure!

Completely agree. This is a hidden underloved gem

This is just beautiful. There is something extra special about a group of men singing together. They are exceptional. 🪄Thank you, Dave, for the introduction to a group I have not heard before🪄

@@darlaalonzo2177 I wonder how long it'll be until VoicePlay's newest subscriber hoists themselves over to their Patreon and joins! :P (it took me about 3-4 months, but it would've been even sooner if I wasn't unemployed at the time... as soon as I'd settled into the new job, I immediately became one of the Patrons. Best money spent each month ever! Zero regrets)

Dave, I'm so glad to see you react to this! I've just been playing this one recently, and it's so great -- especially those stacked harmonies that you replayed starting at 7:35. I'm a new VoicePlay fan and I just love the variety and innovation in their catalog

As much as I love their newer more experimental works (and you will soon see what I'm referring to) I always love the straight standing or sitting on a stool a Capella performances they treat us to, kind of glimpse into what a live performance would be like and those minis! This right here is one of my favorites.

Just one that doesn't get the play time it deserves. Another is True Colors. How about Grow Old With Me?

This is easily in my top ten favorite VoicePlay songs (Scars to Your Beautiful/All-Time Low included in that, too).

My goodness, I forget sometimes that J None has a ridiculously good upper register. Earl usually took the spotlight with the soaring high notes, and now Eli takes those more often than not, but J None, man. Such a beautiful voice no matter where he sings.

It will never not amuse me that the Navy has J None singing bass in their choir ROFL!!! Yes, we know that J can hit some amazing low notes, but his crisp upper register is out of this world.... his voice in The Lion Sleeps Tonight was absolutely stellar

@@zarasha8220 Since VoicePlay covered the Lion sleeps Tonight back in their 4:2:Five days I couldn’t imagine them doing it without Earl. I was astonished to find out it was going to be J that had some of those crazy high notes. (Not to discount Cesar with his whistle notes).

This is one of my favorite reactions from you

J None is perfect as the lead in this.

I love this rendition... 🌹🕊

VP gets better with every cover. Each member is a master of his instrument. If you want to explore a bass a cappella singer who covers every track from high tenor to deep bass, listen to Tomi P. His cover of “Hellfire,” “My Mother Told Me,” and “No Time to Die” are all beyond belief

Thanks 😊

I've always liked this song, but until now, I realize that I didn't actually "get it." Something about this arrangement brought out the way this song was supposed to be heard and understood. It might just be as simple as being able to understand every single word - something I really love these guys for - they ARTICULATE everything perfectly. You'll never find anything of theirs on the "misheard lyrics" memes. :D I've been a Pentaholic for a few years now, but frankly, VoicePlay has edged them out of the top spot.

I too am a long time Pentaholic (bought their first album back in like 2011) and still enjoy their music... but it's just never hit the same ever since Avi left. I will always be a Pentaholic (and Home Fry!!) but there is no doubt in my mind that VoicePlay are a league of their own, above and beyond all the other a cappella groups out there. That's not to say the other groups aren't phenomenal, they are, they just don't have whatever magic it is that VoicePlay bring to the table. Maybe it's because pretty much from their inception, they've been fully independent artists & not weighed down by restrictions, limitations, and maintaining a certain sound/appearance to keep a record label happy. Total creative freedom to arrange and produce whatever the hell they want, whenever they want, and being in full control of the entire video process allows these obscenely talented men to make truly amazing art.

@@zarasha8220 and able take those risks that make them who they are. Even if something flopped and I haven't seen that yet, they would take something amazing from it for the next go.

I miss Earl. Voiceplay seemed more innocent and played it safe with Disney classics and pop music. I love that J None does appearances. Voiceplay now is insane though. Layne’s always had that dog in him and Geoff evolved, you’re right, but Eli oh my lord I don’t have the words to describe his vocal transformation

This is one of my all time favorites. It's on my top 10 list.

This is one of my top 5 favourites. Not fussed on the original tbh but love this. It’s on so many playlists I have irregardless of whether it’s a VP playlist or general car mix playlist. It’s a non-skipper in my books.

This is one of the few times I like the new version more than the original

Everybody: …. Dada da dada da dada Geoff: UUUGH! Once you hear it 😂😂😂

You sound like you can voice a villain in a show.

Now check your archives for Dan Vasc and see which ones you missed. I know you bypassed his NSP covers lol. Great Reaction Dave
