This was a lot of fun!! I've watched it MANY TIMES since haha!
Jennifer, did you notice that all of the "Geoffs" were wearing name tags, each with a different spelling of his name?
I started giggling as soon as I saw that you'd responded to it. KNEW it would be a fun one. Enjoyed!!
I think I broke my face smiling the first couple times watching this. SO much going on, so much of Geoff’s silly/self-deprecating humor.
Yes, Geoff is singing the song Way Down. Way down, all the way down to the Bass-ment.
I get the impression from Jen’s intro that she is hearing from people who think she pauses too much. She really doesn’t. First off, while Geoff doesn’t really push the copyright thing, others do, and TH-cam actually requires reactors to pause now and then TO REACT (they sometimes block videos if people don’t do that). A reaction video is a video OF THE REACTION to the music, and that means stopping to comment. An analysis video is even more likely to pause for comments. Most of us are here because we actually want to hear what Jen has to say. Stick around-she’s great, and if you can adjust your expectations and hear her out, you’ll appreciate Geoff (and the others she reacts to) even more because you’ll learn about the skills it takes to do some of the things he does.
Thank you so much for this ❤️
@@JenniferGlatzhofer thank you for your quality reactions. It’s fun to watch some people who just appreciate music, but I really enjoy the analysis from people who actually understand the techniques we’re seeing. It’s so easy to miss details like mouth shape and how it changes the character of the sound.
@@lkayh absolutely! I have always been a casual listener of music. Even when I was really into music I don’t think I could’ve read back the lyrics, and I certainly didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to what the background vocals were doing. But now, after watching reactors especially people like Jennifer, I get so much more appreciation of the music. Not just because I understand that so much more goes into it, but I have learned from her videos about mouth shape and changing the vowels. I now appreciate just how intricate even a simple arrangement can be. And when they do an arrangement by Geoff or Layne - those are so complex. Every time I listen (if I start paying attention rather than just enjoying it) I hear something new. And for someone who has never really TRULY listened to music that is an Epiphany.
@@janetdw I was a music theater major in college, but it’s been a long, LONG time since I thought about stuff like this. Watching these videos helps it come back to me, and there’s something about realizing just how much thought and effort goes into a song that helps you appreciate it that much more. These folks aren’t just singers, they’re artists.
Absolutely yes to all of that! How could anyone do vocal analysis WITHOUT pausing to talk about things? Jennifer's way of doing this is perfect.
Geoff is doing a good job there... you can really see he practised at home with that broom! :)
Fully let his inner Elvis loose for all to see. Geoff the custodian. The moves and his clone's name tags Goff, Jeoph, and Jeff. Props to his choreographer. That wiggle oh my goodness. He said it took him eighty takes to get that last note C1.
Yay. Been waiting for this one. Geoff said it took him 80 takes to finally hit that C1 at the end. As much as we all are blown away by his range, “way down” that low is even a stretch for him.
Insane!!! 😱
geoff is hilarously humble
I don’t doubt it took a lot of tries to get and hold that note, but I wonder if 80 is an exaggeration. He does enjoy poking fun at himself.
@@JenniferGlatzhofer You should react to voiceplay's "good 4 you" cover with Olivia Rodrigo
Wonder how long it took for the B0 in the Halo theme from voiceplay
This time Geoff finally gave names to his clones.
Goff is giving a critique comparing it to "Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold", while Jeff is eating popcorn out of the dustpan and Jeoph sniffs and then licks a toilet brush.
It was to poke fun at reactors messing his name up lol
Jen's brain got Geoffed again😂💙
Indeed!😂
I love this comment! So true too.
I live to get "Geoffed," don't you?
I really enjoy all of your reactions but in particular, those with Geoff and VoicePlay. Excellent!!!
Yay! Thank you 😁
Agree!!
There's a rumor that Geoff used a body double for the "butt shot". They're saying it was Jeoff.
IDK what's the highlight of the clip for me: Jeff eating cocporn from a dustpan, Joeph singing into the toilet brush, or Goff furiously writing down hate comments. Mans gettin more and more chill with every video
Ending just made me realise that you haven't heard his 'Misty Mountains Cold' have you? You really should do that video, it's legendary 👍
I know!!
Yay! I kept looking for your new video for Geoff. I think he picked this one to see how many times he could make reactors say "way down." XD
100%😂
Great reaction as usual. This is now my favourite video with Ain't No Sunshine talk about polar opposites! Layne was on steadicam for this. Some of us are still wondering how they got through, because those two crack each other up normally. Geoff has such a lovely self deprecating sense of humour it's good to see him showing it here. Of course vocally it's incredible.
Oh nice hahah!!
I think Eli was doing lighting during this too! I can hear all the laughter and comments in my head!!
So much fun. And look at you hitting those low notes! 😉
Geoff is amazing. Fun reaction. 👏
Oh I know 😱😂 thank you!
A great homage from geoff to jd Sumner the bass singer by recreating the original C1
Loved hearing JD just destroy the basement, Geoff for sure did it justice!
JD was ancient though compared to Geoff...I think...when he hit that?
@@deegibb6368 to be fair JD always looked old though. Doesn’t take away from his ability to break speakers though!
@@Fishingdad257 I met him once as a young teenager in the early 80's, and he was so impressive. He definitely rattled the speakers with those low notes, and his speaking voice could melt butter!
"you also have the option to leave" You are now my hero. nuff said
😂😂 it’s the truth ahah!
Tell 'em, sister!
Great reaction
Fun fact in this video Layne doing the cameras and Eli doing the light
I m sure they are lots of fun doing this video
Thank you, Jen. Watching/listening to you is such a treat…you crack me up 😆. This video is a hoot. For another change up from Geoff, check out his version of ‘Shenandoah’. His voice is like honey-butter, a velvet fog… it’s just a beautiful rendition. Until the next video, stay safe and stay well.
😎✌🏻🖖🏻🤟🏻🤙🏻
Thank you!!!😁
What a fun roller coaster to listen and watch! Geoff's the best! ❤️🔥🤯
Yep, the end is a C1, like the one JD Sumner has at the end of Elvis' version!
I love the name tags...lol. Since everyone gets his name wrong.
"There will be pauses." Yes there will and quite a few of them too.
👍🏼
Yes, that was a C1. Oh lawd, the visuals though.
I love all your reactions. Going back to musical theatre classes at the ripe old age of 45, I find that the way you break down your singing reactions help me to improve my singing.
Ah yay! Love that 😁
I've been waiting for this for 5 long days
After the anguish of Ain't no Sunshine Geoff obviously felt the need to go a little more upbeat but missed the mark and went all the way to ridiculous (and by that I mean fantastic) hilarity! I haven't giggled - Jeoph, Jeff, & Goff or squealed - hip swivels & little butt shake, so much in ages! Of course he sounded great as always, that low C1 was astonishing, and hard earned, but what I really enjoyed were those gorgeous harmonies at the end! Always enjoy your entertaining and informative reactions, thank you! 🕺😁👍
You ARE funny...
And informative!!!
Your range is incredible!!!
How could anyone be upset with you, your quirkiness and beautiful smile. You are a favorite because you are so real. You feel the music and voices. It's a joy to watch your reactions. Thank you
Jennifer, I'm having a wonderful day when you react to Geoff or to Voiceplay! I go back and watch your reactions to them all the time. This one was so much fun, especially after the heartbreaking Ain't No Sunshine.
Thanx for your joy when you react, you are terrific!
Ah thank you!!
Like you said it's pure fun to watch this. If you think it can't go better he drops videos like this. I can't imagine what he will do next.
"If you think I am pausing too much... You have the right to leave." Best response!
😂
I loved it.
I think the misty mountains thing at the end there was making fun of all the trolls that keep saying that in the comments every video he puts out XD.
Love your reaction you were so giddy! Also, Geoff's cover of Misty Mountains next?
So funny!!
I'm never gonna get tired of hearing you attempt those low notes 😄
Hopefully one day we get to hear a 2nd octave subharmonic from you !
🙌🏼
I love your face and your reactions...they're so genuine.
Watching those videos is so delightful
I didn't know about the original song but just looked it up and apparently JD Sumner sang it this low (same key) in Elvis' recording of the song. So it's not just an ode to Elvis but also to JD. Awesome.
Yes, this was pure joy! Both the song and your reaction. I loved the playfulness in your voice when you say " so without any further ado". It's like an inside joke and it makes my day! You're getting closer to those subharmonics. You brighten up even the brightest days! Knowledgeable too!
Hahah indeed! Thank you 😁
11:25 i swear you just hit those notes, impressive
Amazing video, thank you for sharing.
I love your reaction and analysis videos! This is my favorite cover he's done so far
Omg your low notes are improving a lot 👀
🙌🏼
I love your reactions and your technical breakdowns. But you also seem to be a lovely person. 🙂
Your facial expressions are really a joy to watch in this reaction, and yes you ARE funny ❤️
And for the people that are saying that you pause too much, they should seriously stop watching things that says "analysis" in the title, and just let the rest of us enjoy something that makes us able to enjoy the songs even more than before ❤️
Thank you!!!! 😁
Jennifer's "bass" does it for me. 😋😋😋😋😋😋
One of the reasons why I'm a subscriber.
Funny video, great arrangement by Geoff, well analysed, love it. Your reaction also reminds me on my times trying to write down arrangements by listening to the music next to my piano.
Ah yes!! So intriguing hahah!
Yet another really fun reaction video. This has got to be in most people's top 5 songs of Geoff's. Great energy and it's so obvious how much fun he's having quite literally performing this cover. And your reaction observations were on point, as always. And it was equally as fun watching you really enjoy the performance - no doubt its tilt toward a more musical theater-like approach had much to do with your excitement. At least it seemed to tilt that way - albeit, I'm no expert on the subject 😁
Oh yes!! I absolutely loved it hahah!
I’ve been waiting on you to review this one! I knew you would thoroughly enjoy not just the music, but also the fun!
Do people seriously still complain about you pausing? 🙄 great reactnalysis, as ever.
Yup… ahaha thank you!!
There has been some disagreement among fans as to whether that C1 is his lowest note ever, considering it took him 80 takes to do it. It's true that he apparently did a B0 in the Halo theme, but can we assume that was a subharmonic and this one wasn't? Some say his C1 was a chest growl. I am totally confused by all this and hope he can clear it up, though to me, frankly, I don't much care. Its all so much fun.
It really sounds like it has the same "texture" a subharmonic has, and it doesn't make a lot of sense for his lowest chest note to jump from F1 all the way down to C1. I think people are just amazed that it took him so many takes, but Geoff seems like a perfectionist - he'd want that last "spotlight" low note to have power and smoothness. I'm sure the B0 took equally as long.
If you're looking for more Geoff, Blackbird is amazing
I saw you reacted to Peter Hollens ft. Tim Foust doing "Mist Mountain Cold". You need to react and do an analyses of Geoff's version.
Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
I learned so much watching this! I love Geoff's video. It is interesting to learn more about what he was doing with the song. Thank you!
I've been looking foreward to this one! I couldn't help thinking, "Oh, Jennifer will love this!" when I saw it. I hope this gives you all kinds of ideas for your own vocal performances. The only thing is I think you could have tried a little harder to get that C1. :-) Thanks for doing this one so quickly.
Very much enjoyed your reaction to this. It is such a fun video and your reaction added to that fun.
Consensus seems to be that that is indeed a C1 at the end. I think that may be the lowest note Geoff (or anyone in VP) has recorded as an actual lyric-carrying vocal so far.
I love your reaction s and Geoff is a talent god
If from some reason...of course we loved it!. We love to discover new artist, yes you're right, it was really funny ha ha...😃💛👍
Love your reactions, girl! I love your explanations about the anatomical variants for different notes and classes of notes. Glad I subscribed so long ago!
Geoff gives us an opportunity to relive GLEE... he could single handed lay revive that series.
Congrats on 50K! YAAAY!!!!
Fun as always Jennifer. Thank you.
Thanks!
He fell 3X's trying to do that chair walk over but didn't hurt himself. Layne hand held the camera. He must have had a good time laughing at this performance. I don't know how he got through it.
I ❤️ your reaction. So much fun. Did you notice the name tags? I always enjoy your technical experience. You add so much to the video by understanding more of how he does what he does. Loved the video! Loved your reaction.
Voiceplay just uploaded Good 4 U and I know you don’t like too upload too many Voiceplay vids but trust it’s soo good! Adriana with this video become one of my features by Voiceplay along with Rachel.
keep on practicing the low notes, who knows,
maybe you'll get there . love your reactions
Super analysis. I continually love to hear your take on songs. Kudos!
Thank you ☺️
Was that last note even on the piano!!! Gee-wiz!! 👍👍
Not on mine 😂
I posted this on some Elvis fan groups and they thought it was great. Elvis and JD Sumner(bass backup singer) would be impressed with Geoff's rendition.
I really like your analysis, you are lovely and deserve way more subscribers. Geoff put a lot of fun in this rendition, something we need more of in these trying times. I got a kick out of toilet brush Jeoff and eating popcorn out of the dustpan Jeff.
This was such a good reaction! I hope a lot more people see your content.
I only have 1 thing to add - NAME TAGS... Let us know when you see it.
😱😱😂
Geoff: *shakes his bum at the camera
Jen: Well, Geoff has gone up with the visuals! 😂😉
Love this, both the music and video! And I enjoyed you reaction and analysis so much, as always! He doesn’t have all that many videos that are this fun yet, it’s this one, Monster Mash and Headless Horseman. Headless Horseman is still one of my favourites by Geoff, and I hope so much that you’ll find the time to react to it come Halloween! 👻 🎃
Have you been working on your vocal fry? Cuz there were a couple of times in this video where I'm pretty sure that Geoff hit some crazy low note, you paused and then matched pitch (maybe an octave higher...but still crazy low!!) The only one I could pinpoint was where BV Geoff hit a note around the 11:24 mark, then you hit it at 11:26. I don't know what that note was, but all I can say is, "WOW!! Good job, Jennifer!!!" Wait,....haven't I heard you say you were a soprano in a previous video? Hmmm....You might want to re-think that.
Hahah yuuupp!! Soprano for sure 😂 but we’re stretching the lower range too😱
If you keep listening to these base singers you're going to turn into a "fry baby," Jennifer. lol
Shades of barbershop tags!
Eric holloway dueted the last 20 seconds or so and he also hits the last C1 (he cant use subs or anything so it was chest!)
So darn sexy and what a voice! Thank you soooo much for reacting to this one. ❤️
Hi from west central Peach State USA!!!really enjoy your take on the different singers and their ways of presenting their vocals. Was wondering if you could give your take on Mo Pitney covering George Jones' : " Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes"? know it's hard to keep up with all the requests!
I'll bet Elvis is smiling down on Geoff about now. 😉
Lol! I know you're doing a musical review, but sexy is the word you're looking for!
Yes that was a C1
Yes, that's a C1 at the very end.
Yes it was a C1
The video when she says cheeky.
Please react to "A Little Help From My Friends" by Darcy Lynn Farmer. Its fantastic in several ways.
Fun fact: It took 60 takes, yes 60 takes for Geoff to get that last note right.
She’s going way down on the analysis
🙄😂
hi! you need to react to Morissette - Gusto Ko Nang Bumitaw (live band performance) from june 5th. it‘s phenomenal, her performance is so powerful and intense it‘s just ridiculous. even if you don’t understand a word you can feel it all. also there is no singer on this planet who can sing that song in this way I think.
I think you would really like “Mary did you know” by tomi p and Casper fox. Love to see the reaction to that one
I've heard that the last note is a C1 chest although some others are sure it's a subharmonic. If that were the case, he wouldn't have needed 80 takes to get it right. Layne ran the steadi-cam and Eli the lighting. Imagine the hilarity of the 3 of them laughing at it all.
It's a subharmonic. Geoff can't go that low in chest voice and you can clearly hear the quality one would expect of subharmonics.
C1 chest? Geoff is amazing but that's a bit much. To me it seems like the vocal fold vibration is slower than in a subharmonic. Might be chest fry but it's definitely an extended technique
hey jen pleese say hes a gorgeous man +even if he sang outoftune we wld b ther...
Think that last note was a C1
G1 is bread and butter any day, any time note. But, he does go lower. A0s do make an appearance.
He keeps finding stuff that sounds good low. Just when you think he's run out! If you love him and the bass gang, you might even be able to find a way to tolerate me... Just to give you a few ideas, saw these in my feed today. Todrick Hall "The Wizard of Ahhs" ft. Pwentatonix, and VoicePlay "Moana medley and The Little Mermaid medley". Haven't seen them on your channel. Also, one little question for the rest of the rabble on here. Am I the only one who's found mysely trying to sing harmony every time a commercial comes on, regardless of what it is? I blame Jennifer for that lately... Keep up the good work! Tha mi an douchas gum bi latha math leibh!
Hahah sorrryyy!
React to JINJER - Pisces
Great reaction and breakdown as always. :) Just for fun I do have to point out though, at 8:48, it feels like you intentionally rewound just far enough to watch Geoff shake his booty again, didn’t you? ;P
I did not mean to…😱
@@JenniferGlatzhofer 😂
Lmao well if you didn’t mean to, then I believe you. Let’s just chock it up to a “happy coincidence” then shall we? ;)
Who would blame her?
@@barbarakennedy2667 I can’t imagine anyone who would lmao. I’m a 100% straight guy, and I know I certainly don’t. I only thought it would be a fun/silly point to tease Miss Jennifer over, especially so if it was a genuine coincidence and not intentional ;) lmao
You missed the very end. Which is hilarious an inside joke.
The shocking part is the Geoff considers himself a tenor. Tenors DON’T sing C1 in chest! I’m a baritone and there’s no way I can even think about that note.
Well, he considers himself a baritone - he just used to want to be a rock tenor when he was younger. Either way, he's ridiculous!
That C1 isn't chest, it's a subharmonic. Still amazing. In the original J.D. Sumner actually sings that C1 in chest voice
@@charlesdaloz2547 I had to listen closer. His subharmonics are too good. Hard to tell sometimes.
Okay I spoke before you said it sorry
elvis and jd recorded this in 1977-- hard to beat jd tho- just saying
he can go all the way to b0 xD
I like Geoff, he has a beautiful voice; but I do not like the song.
Like the song but hate the video, I just turn away and listen
