One thing I think that does NOT get the recognition deserved is the absolutely spectacular arrangements by Jamie Ray. His arrangements are always beyond gorgeous and always absolutely perfect for each and every voice in Voctave. Powerful every time. The man is an acapella arranging genius - and a fine singer, too!
Such a rock-solid foundation from the 10 supporting singers. 'Impeccable' is the only word that does it justice. Special shout out to the basses and to Tiffany for that high pedal note
Chris, I have been following Voctave since their beginning and drove over two hours to see them live in Boerne, Texas in December. Can you imagine hearing this song, sung live, trying to keep your composure in an auditorium filled with other people. It was difficult. There is very little differentiation from their live performance to their post-production videos on TH-cam. Hats off to their on-the-road sound crew because their live microphone mix was just amazing. If you can ever see them live, do it. Such professionalism and literally the best at what they do. I'm a drummer and just stunned by them.
James, I've heard them sing this live half a dozen tunes and I have sobbed each time. Each time. So I totally get your reaction--and your willingness to drive to see them; I've done 6 hr road trips for their concerts. Worth every damn penny of gasoline
You have to do O Come, O Come Emmanuel/The First Noel/I Wonder As I Wander. That way Kate can knock you off your feet the same way EJ did!!! It's INCREDIBLE!
I know this was composed and performed on earth. i *know* that. I *feel* the angels surrounding and supporting this group, and perhaps taking a lesson or two in how to perform praise music. This is heavenly.
EJ (I got it right this time 😂) is just an incredible vocal talent. Just an amazing voice. He has only done on collaboration with VP, but he was so good with them that I wish he would do another. Voctave is just an incredible group.
Holy spirit, indeed! EJ is a beast. Tiffany and Tony can also do some jaw-dropping sustained notes, and the new guy, Drew Ochoa, does an impressive sustain in their latest release. Mark Lowry does similar sustains in their Mary Did You Know and he does it TWICE! Mind-boggling.

@@nikelodeon6852 he has solos on silent night, and short solos on a few other songs. Anything you can do is the song that has him and Tiffany holding notes for 30 seconds.

That soloist has the lung capacity of a WHALE. Not only did he hold that last note forever, he modulated up a fifth and held THAT! CRUSHED IT!
He is EJ Carson's...see Go The Distance as a guest with Voiceplay.
EJ Cardona ...cursed autocorrect!
And this Voctave rendition and your reaction were superbly on point!
De tenor van the Ringmasters kan dat ook als een beest. Ook een aanrader!
don't think I've ever heard a more heartfelt version ever

Completely agree!!

I agree totally Chris. My thought was this must be what the angels sound like in heaven. It makes every hair on my body stand up. Thank you Voctave!
What an Amazing Arrangement! Awesome Cord Changes! Beautiful Praise Song!
RIGHT!

Now u know why that is my favorite Christmas song from them :)
Love the reaction!
Unbelievable. No other word for it.

This!
Another great reaction! I was waiting for the moment things would start to fly through the air...and you did not disappoint me😉
LOL! Master of understatement I see.... (that last part where you said, 'well that's great.') Too funny!
When we get to heaven, this will be what we hear.
I LOVE watching reactors when they realize that he is STILL going.
It was great fun watching your reaction!! Thank you! Happy holidays.
That last note is 25!! Seconds😅😍
Love your reactions 🙏🏻

Who's Tony?

@@4partharmony208 I've never seen him take a solo ever... which song was this?
@@nikelodeon6852 A Million Dreams. Doesn't really show his posting skills, but great solo

Awesome!
“HooOoolllly Spirit!” Lolol😂

You must review O Come All Ye Faithful by Pentatonix. Blows every other version by anyone out of the water. Period!
Reacted to it a couple days ago, check it out! :)
@@creativecrewfam I've looked on your channel and can't find it anywhere, even with a specific search.
They are great, but I think Pentstonix did this song, well maybe not better but great in a different way very upbeat.
React this same Song But pentatonix version
