The high Soprano is Kate Lott and she’s amazing.
Every time, on every song.
Yeaahhh kate lott the woman in black clothes.
I think one of the most amazing pieces that displays Kate's talents was when they sang "Mary Did You Know" featuring Mark Lowery. Her voice control there is unparalleled.
@@jfulton-ak John, I completely agree. I don't know if I've ever heard a better example of voice control, especially in a soprano. I was going to suggest the same song. Thanks for beating me to the punch!
Especially since she is able to produce those high notes not only as clear as a crystal bell, but also very quietly, in other songs even more quiet than in this one. And THAT is really impressive considering how extreme those notes are and how frequencies work (basically the higher, the louder)
2 Fun facts:, Kate (the soprano) leads up to the C# the first note, Voctave follows on the second note.. but then Kate jumps again to the high F# on the third note before they resolve! (Bonus fact, even in this video, you can see Jeremy laughing and shaking his head in disbelief every time Kate shines)
Also, Jeremy had to have the breath for longer than the 14 second long phrase at the end, because he didn't breathe when Kirsten got to before the last note! He held for 22 seconds to fill the two breath gaps. Incredible.
Yeah, the first time I heard it, I freaked out that Kirstie held her last note for 5+ bars, but then I realized that he took his last breath even earlier. Amazing!
I should have read the comments! Lol. That's what I just commented. 🤦🏻♀️😳😏
@@manuelodonnell1148 You can actually he hear him continuing to sing right before the last note
You are talking about the woman on the left in the black shirt, correct?
At least it seems that she is the one with the very high notes
I was just about to post this. She is so good. And talking about cute, how about Elizabeth! She is just the best!
There are clips here and there of Kirstin and Jeremy just collapsing laughing mid practice, because of just how good the lovley ladies and gents from Voctave actually are. Purely wholesome moments
My favorite moment is when at 7:42 Jeremy looks over at the soprano like he cannot believe it lol
I really love Kirstin's lower range, even more than her upper range. Her voice would genuinely be perfect for a Disney princess, for more proof just watch Superfruit's Frozen Medley (Superfruit is Mitch and Scott from PTX, and Kirstin joined them since they're friends since high school).
Agree, Kirstin is also amazing in Rather Be. You really get to hear her full range.
Soprano lady is Kate. Their Disney Princess Medley truely shows how wonderfull her voice is.
If you like Jamey Ray's arrangements but you haven't gone down the Voctave rabbit hole yet, you are really missing out. Voctave is the group that he helped form. He writes the arrangements specifically to take advantage of each of their unique voices. The group is filled with outstanding talents which get highlighted in different songs. You really should go to their youtube page and react to more of their videos. They also have more Disney songs that you will love.
Yes please Disney’s princesses medley!
If you like this, watch them perform Disney Princess Medley. It's outstanding!
OH YES PLEASE :DDDD
Yes please!
I just love how you so openly express your joy and enjoyment of great music. Not a stoic analysis of technique but rather letting your soul just feast on the raw emotion that great music produces in us. I am glad I found your channel. Please react to more of Voctave.
And, yes, Jamey Ray is an absolute gift to A Cappella music - all his arrangements are gold. Please react to more Voctave!
This video is the one that launched the popularity of Voctave. They were smart to recruit Kirstin because she brought millions of views and greatly contributed to their launch. They even did a couple of "promo" videos they released to build up interest. If you watch it again, notice the big grins and shaking heads from Kirstin and Jeremy reacting to Kate Lott's high notes.
My dream will come true!!! You will FINALLY react to Voctave!!! Hopefully just the first of many! ❤❤
Plenty more Voctave to check out! Showstoppers Medley, Movie Medley, or Princess Medley, can't go wrong with any.
Mary did you know- voctave ft mark Lowry, i promise you won't regret it.
Yes please!
Recommended highly
Yes Kate does a note in that song that is ultra high, ultra soft, head voice and lasts forever. She's the best. :)
Would love to hear your reaction to Mary Did You Know with Mark Lowry!
So.... Voctave does more disney.... Disney princess medley, Disney showstoppers... The rabbit hole is DEEP with Voctave... PLEASE fall down that hole and keep going! Don't make us wait. The way that you really LISTEN to the music us what draws us in!!
Kate Lott is the high soprano for the group. She's is something absolutely special. Check Voctave with Mark Lowery doing "Mary did you know". She shines once again throughout, especially the end.
Voctave are vocal excellence, without exception and Kate Lott, the Descant Soprano, is a phenomenon. Both Jeremy and Kirsten are excellent vocalists in their own right, but you can see in both this video and the rehearsal one that they are awestruck by the capabilities of Voctave, both with regards to Jamie's arrangement and the individual and group vocal talent on display, especially when Kate Lott casually hits that F#6 with such ease.
OK…this is probably the 50th time I’ve watched this! The combo of Kirsten, Voctave and your excitement…a triple threat as well as a triple treat!
I can’t wait to see your reaction to this! I’ve listened to it almost as much as Dimash. When you get done with this I would suggest you immediately listen to Voctave perform their Disney Princess Medley. It’s astounding! Final note: the short little soprano is going to blow you away!
The amazing soprano is named Kate Lott. I recommend reacting to more Voctave, they are awesome.
I love this one. Those harmonies are heavenly. And the soloists have a great connection, I think they were in a relationship back then. There's a video from the rehearsals and they both lose it when they hear one of the sopranos.
That soprano! She blew me away too. :-)
This should be said video: th-cam.com/video/rjZpz0EvnV8/w-d-xo.html
@@wolfymyname9989 I had never seen that before! Thank you for sharing that!
I love how they panned over to Kate before she sang that note... she really is amazing.
Indeed. Kirstin Maldonado and Jeremy Michael Lewis are first rate but the looks on their faces when they find themselves performing with the absolute masters of the Al Capella craft are priceless. Wonderful learning experience for the two of them.
I’m so stoked for this
:-D
Great reaction, as always.
Wait until you watch their "Disney Princess Medley". Chills.
And Kate Lott.. Is a star.
Cheers^^.
oh come all ye faithful is also amazing! E.J. is one of my favorites.
One of the things I live for is seeing people hear voctave for the first time and people hearing Kate Lott for the first time. Please do more!
Elizabeth I knew you would love voctave as much as we do. Fun fact. In the last section when everyone follows the kate lott the lady in the black shirt. If you listen closely after thr group follows her up she goes up again right at the end i think its a d6. Now you need their Disney princess medley.
Even higher; she starts the last chord on a c#6 and then pops up to an f#6!
Voctave are so dang amazing! If you do any more of them, I'd love for you to listen to their "The Great Movie Medley"! I know that one blew my socks off especially because it really showcases the power of acappella
Very cute outfit 😊😊
More Voctave please - their Princess Medley would be a good one to follow this.
While on de subject of A Cappella: Please do a video on "OOGIE BOOGIE'S SONG | The Nightmare Before Christmas | VoicePlay A Cappella Cover". Their base singer is amazing!
This is going to happen --- in October! :-D
I just suggested the same, then realized this comment. Looking forward to October!
Their Haunted Mansion take is also excellent. Used to be a lead there (World, not Land) at one time. Were it up to me, I would change the current HM track out for Voiceplay's, the audio anyway.
His name is Jeff Castelluci
8:07 You mention the vocal arrangement a lot, and this is a subtle but excellent example of it. They're trading off solo passages of the current song till this point, but on "This bond between us. . . " they join together in harmony. The lyrics themselves are incorporated into the arrangement. Just...magical.
I have listened to this song dozens of times... both "official" and by reactors. Though I haven't commented on YOURS, Elizabeth, I had to today. For some reason THIS time just hit me in terms of how good you are. I know that, as I have been subscribed for 2 years now... but it really hit me today. This was done 3 years ago, so I doubt you'll see these recent comments. You are fantastic!
I am just completely knocked out by that smile. This is the ‘I can’t wait’ and ‘I’m not going to get my emotions strung out’ smile. Belle(PhD) you could be in a Disney movie...the happiest channel on TH-cam! 🌈👸🏼 gotta put the sunglasses on because the radiance is blinding me😊 #1Fanboy 💙
Your the best john..I second everything you just said..
jim hallo mate! Didn’t you call the 50k in July?
Yes John. But remember I also revised it to 60,000 by the end of July, and that’s just about exactly where she will be, it’s just so awesome to see you love her so much because she is the coolest. Talk to you later number one fan boy :-)
THANKS, John! ::blush::
Finally! Someone breaking it all down. The Sopranos are out of this world. And also, glad someone appreciated Kirsten's crystal clear voice. Thank you for this because I had learned so much and stuffs (a lot of them) you pointed out that I had missed. Bravo to you as well.
The gentleman conducting in the back of the group is Tony DeRosa, who has been in four world championship barbershop quartets (the most recent being Main Street). How about a barbershop quartet reaction ;) ?
I must have watched the Dapper Dans perform in Disneyland hundreds of times... One of the reasons I had an annual pass was just to go watch the live shows. Completely worth the price!
I love how Voctave isn't over produced and it's all in the arrangement. It's just like butter and ear candy. Soooo good.
Try out Voctave singing "Mary Did You Know" with Mark Lowry. Amazing.
He is beyond magic...
I love how you express an almost childish wonder while listening and reacting to any of the songs you've featured. It just shows a passion for your profession that often gets pushed aside for the sake of professionalism. Never let your inner child go
Everybody knows Kate Lott she is legendary!
Check out the rehearsal video for this recording. Kirstin and Jeremy's reaction to Kate's high notes are so cute. I am OBSESSED with Voctave and Jamey Ray is a musical genius in my opinion.
You *NEED* to react to Voctave's 'Carol of the Bells' ! It is so freaking good and Kate Lott (the first soprano) flexes hard in that xD
They also have a Disney Princess Medley 😍😍😍
You need to react to every single song Voctave does!!!
Hi Elizabeth! First, I have to let you know that I LOVE your Minnie Mouse Fleece Hoodie...Very Cute (the Sparkle in your Eyes and your Smile just adds to the presentation...I think I found my favorite thumbnail image!!!). It's Great that your outfit complements a, "Disney Love Medley." This performance was Outstanding, the Singers were Amazing and your Reaction alone was filled w/ Joy and Excitement...Just like the, "Happiest Place on Earth." And Thank You, Elizabeth, for all of the Extra, Extra Work that you put in to review and react to all of these performances the past 2 weeks!!! You Are The Best!!!!! :-)
Thanks, Kirby! Your comments always make me feel appreciated. I can't thank you enough for your support.
I’ve only just discovered you recently due to the Jinjer “Pisces” video. Ended up watching your reactions to Nightwish and Floor too. There are 2 main reasons I’ve enjoyed your vids. 1. Unlike other reaction videos done by vocal coaches/singers. It feels like they try and do whatever is happening in the video, as a sort of “look at me, I can do it too!” type vibe. Which just annoys me. Whereas you listen to what’s going on, and just explain it and why it’s great. Even though you are an incredible singer and could sing what these people are doing, but you don’t 👍🏻 2. I can tell by watching you, that you just love music and the visible excitement you show in these videos is infectious and endearing.
What a great post. And all of it so accurate..
Thanks for this!!!! Much appreciated. :-D
Girl... you need more Voctave in your life! I can't believe it has been this long since you checked them out!
Your love of music is so infectious and joyful! Thank you for sharing it, while teaching a deeper appreciation for others so they can learn new things to love in music and singers.
Please react to "O come all ye faithful" by voctave
Their version of O Come All Ye Faithful is one of the most emotive singing performances I've ever heard. There is so much reverence in the delivery of this song. Tears every time.
I loved your explaination of the "t" and "d" sounds as well as the oohs and aahs! As a linguistics nerd and a bit of a vocal nerd I found it really informative and interesting!
As many people in the comments probably pointed out, the high soprano's name is Kate Lott.and she is indeed phenomenal!
Following this video, a few obligatory suggestions:
- Voctave's "Great Movie Medley". Features some more of Kate's high notes, it was a tribute to Jon Williams when he died and it's incredible. Also, it shows some of what the bass section can do, which I am a fan of.
- Voctave's "Disney Princess Medley". I especially love Chrystal's (the counteralto) part, but generally - it features of all Voctave's female members singing a solo and absolutly killing it.
- "I Have a Dream" by Main Street, a barbershop quartet featuring Voctave's Tony DeRosa. They are awesome, and this is a song based on the song from Tangled. It's great.
- "Razzle Dazzle" by Main Street. Another one from the same competition (the 2018 International Barbeshop competition, which they won).
- "Notre Dame Medley" by The Ringmasters. A Swedish barbershop quartet who are all incredible. Nothing not to like.
Everything on here is accurate, except that John Williams isn't dead... He's 88 and still working, as far as I know...
Without a doubt, you do the best reactions to acapella groups. We are so fortunate to have so many excellent groups available to us on TH-cam. Depending on the song, I like PTX, Home Free, Voctave , and Voiceplay equally. Please continue to share your expertise on their respective performances, and introduce any new groups you encounter.
Also please don’t forget about Angelina Jordan.
Great reaction. The soprano that nails the top notes is Kate Lott. She's stunning.
Your reaction is honest and spot on ..Jamey has incredible 9+ voice note chord arrangements . These people are musicians ,It is testimony to their craft and stands as a superior example for any singer who wishes to excel. thank you !!
Voctave’s Disney Princess Medley is phenomenal. They feature each of the women with a different princess solo. Also, you probably knew this, but Jamey Ray is also one of the tenors in the group. Maroon shirt, sharing the music stand with the guy in the purple shirt.
I love how the arranger used "Like a shooting star" line to put the Kate`s octave jump, great way to give a feeling of that beautiful shooting star passing over everyone heads through music!
Love this! Please: Voctave "Princess Medley."
Great insights and articulation, especially the heavy focus on construction (like the ooo-to-aaah-to-lyrics for the background vocalists). My favorite reaction videos go well beyond "wow, they are really good" and actually teach something about the writing, construction, or performance techniques. And your joy in the subject matter was icing on the cake! Well done.
So, Voctave's Disney stuff is all amazing and Kate blows everyone away as usual, but listen to their rendition of Oh come all ye faithful to see them really show off their tenor. It's pretty mindblowing.
Elizabeth, thank you very much for a wonderful evening, get well soon, take care of yourself, I look forward to your wonderful reactions..
If you enjoy acapella you should react to Home Free - Man of Constant Sorrow
Can I second this homefree are awesome
I think their version of How Great Thou Art is the best showcase of their talents
@@Strayfegaming its a many amazing songs from Home Free. We all need morde Home Free in our Life :)
Did you see she did? Some of her facial expressions during parts are priceless. Watch when the 'harmonica' comes in, for one.
Your level of excitement is so enjoyable! First time watching your videos, and I have been following Voctave for many years. I appreciate your appreciation of them.
I have lost count the number of reactions I have watched on this song. You are my official favorite. Your smile is so genuine - you are very intelligent but I see the little girl coming out in that smile. My daughter works for Disney and she is like you in many ways....still starry when she sees a princess in the cafeteria and she is almost 27 LOL! I don't have a group or choir but I bought the sheet music for this from Jamey's site - it is SO fun to follow each part. brilliant writing as you say! NICE reaction!
Definitely need to check out Voctave with Mark Lowry Mary did you Know!! Incredible, and sung remarkably by the author of the song!!
Forgot to say, if you really want to see their amazing vocal arranging, the great movie medley!!!!!!
I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet so I'll throw in my two cents...The first soprano, Kate Lott is a coloratura soprano and she did study opera and other genres as well...This group is based out of Orlando, Florida and also about half of them along with Kate sing with Disney's "Voices of Liberty"... They all come from different areas and genres of music and most of them have won many awards in their areas of singing...Great reaction even if it was 2 years ago... Lol...Can't wait till the next one...
I feel you would be in heaven with Voctave Disney Princess Medley!
I have just found voctave this evening and my first thought was hoping you had listened. But one I don’t see is Disney Showstoppers Medley. This arrangement is pure gold. Hope you’ll check it out!
Welcome to the world of Voctave !!! They're 2 others Disney song by them : Disney princess medley and Disney Showstoppers Medley. BTW the guy with burgundy's shirt, near the bass is James Ray.
I always smile when the male lead shoots that impressed smile at the soprano singer at the start of the Tarzan song. Like he heard her through those noise cancelers and loved it
The soprano is Kate Lott and she's fantastic, but each and every member of the group is fantastic. Your reaction was terrific and brought up aspects of the arranging that I never noticed, specifically their use of ooohs and aaahs.. During your reaction you mentioned your love of a cappella and Disney. Well, with Voctave, you hit the mother lode. Check out their "Disney Princess Medley" (which features Kate and all the female vocalists) and "Disney Showstoppers". if you want more Kate, give a listen to Voctave's version of "Mary Did You Know", featuring Mark Lowry, who co-wrote the song. You won't believe Kate's control at the very end of that song. And as an a cappella fan, you owe it to yourself to explore the music of Pentatonix, Home Free, and VoicePlay. I would love to see your reactions to "Hallelujah" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Pentatonix, "How Great Thou Art" and "Man of Constant Sorrow" by Home Free, and "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Mr. Blue Sky", and "Ooogie Boogie's Song" by VoicePlay.
In any event, this old Barbershopper is looking forward to many more of your reactions.
You F**ing nailed it!
Kate Lott and Tiffany Coburn are Amazing sopranos. It is great to see this group at the EPCOT Disney in America. The Voices of Liberty. AMAZING!!!
Who don't just love any and everything Disney!? And I love your shirt! 🤘
You're never too old for Disney!
Ear Candy...love that! Gives me goosebumps! Love your comments & your excitement, well done!
About two years ago, I started making music-scores for computergames, and when I make a score, I use inspiration from Hans Zimmer, Antonio Vivaldi and Jamey Ray.
Hans Zimmer can create a underlaying feel better than anyone else, Vivaldi uses violin better than anyone else, and Jamey Ray can create "whole sounds" better than enyone else. The way Jamey Ray uses harmonizing in his accompaniment is out of this world. Kind of like Jacob Collier does, a brillant musician.
And, about this video, very well done! Some of the things you notice is brillant, and to hear your thoughts about the singing-technique is teaching me a lot, as I'm not a singer. Especially the "engine room" workings of the "u" and "a", that was really nice :-)
Thank you for a lovely video, you've just got a new fan and subscriber ;-)
I saw the minnie dots and this acapella arrangement and I thumbed-up 2 seconds in.
How can you not love Kirstin. Best of your geek reactions so far.
Kindest of Regards Urhart
Holy crap when you hear harmonics in vocal arrangements you know a groups locked in.
You have to react to Voctave's Disney Princess Medley next!
More Voctave please :)
They are amazing as usually ❤️
You are delightful! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts about this song!!!
Voctave has done several Disney songs and medleys. They’re one of the few groups who have license to because several of their members actually sing in performance groups at Epcot/Disney World. All of them are amazing, you’ll adore them, and I know lots of us would love seeing your reaction to them. For starters: Disney Princess Medley, Disney Showstoppers, How Far I’ll Go. Outside of their Disney material, I’d love to see you react to This Is My Wish/Let There Be Peace On Earth ❤️👍🏻
2 things. 1) it's rather adorable to see how much enjoyment you get out of something you love and your mannerisms only emphasize it. 2) check out Voctave's version of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful".....wow talk about power in a voice!
Of course there are a ton of other acappela group's work to check out. Voice Play (moana medley, oogie boogie, Tennessee whiskey etc), Home Free (ring of fire, honey I'm good, auld lang syne, do you hear what I hear, etc). Love your videos and your shared expertise!! Keep them coming!
If you want to hear more of Kirstin taking a STRONG lead, listen to the Pentatonix cover of Say Something. Its absolutely amazing, and the arrangement is beautiful
It sounded like you missed the fact that Kate Lott, at the very end, actually went a fourth up from that high note you were admiring so much. Listen again: she's the sparkle at the very tippy-tip-top of those last two chords. She makes the jump milliseconds before the director cuts away from her.
Please do more Voctave reactions! Especially the Disney Princess Medley (which showcases the female singers), the Disney Showstoppers Medley (which showcases some of the male singers), and their Great Movie Medley!
Awesome reaction! Thanks for all the technical aspects you bring out.
Amazing display of talented voices!!
This arrangement is so awesome. I love the drawn out dissonance at the end that quickly resolves. So satisfying.
i love this medley so much i will never get tired of it
Your pure joy watching this is just wonderful and made me happy 😊
I am patiently and anxiously waiting for your next reaction to Voctave...and I hope it comes soon.
My Top 3:
1. Movie Medley
2. Disney Princess Medley
3. Mary Did You Know
What an awesome reaction. I have viewed this performance close to 100 times and with scores of reactions. Not only did I glean so much more insight into the musical genius of Voctave, but you did so in a way that mixed such joy with your insight. Thank you.
I would love to see more of your reactions to Voctave. They are just so so good!
Lovely reaction! I just love your display of emotion. Awesome hoodie😍 suits you really well❤
If you want to hear that Soprano full on, then I recommend more Voctave, e.g. the Disney Princess Medley - every female singer gets her own Disney song. ❤
I swear her lowest range is higher than I'll ever get 😶
I love your analyses. I learn so much! And your reactions are terrific. Thank you!
Awww so cute with the hoodie!!!😊 love the reviews!!
Great analysis! Total ear candy. That finale is to die for. Yeah! It got me excited too. 🤗
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this but I LOVE LOVE LOVE your reaction & comments! Ear candy ❤️
