By popular demand, here is my long-winded first-time reaction and analysis for VoicePlay's Wicked A Cappella Medley! Ye be warned, since the original video is over 7 minutes long, it only makes sense that my analysis was so long that my camera decided to stop filming after 30 minutes (apparently that's a thing) 😅Anyway, they did a truly wonderful job capturing some of the most iconic tunes from the musical theater world -- I hope you enjoy!
Ehh… lovely smile tho
I never cared for this song enough to really take note of it untill I heard your analysis of it. As a bonus, I love the way you move to the rhythm of the music. PS, keep the hat it looks good on you.
"Bassline By Geoff" sounds like an expensive fragrance.
I'd buy that one!
On another video someone said they wish they could wear his voice as a perfume, he replied, it would smell like whiskey and coffee so if you're into that then ok lol
😂😂 Cesars "kill the witch" kills me everytime. And Geoffs face after he says that ahhh
@Amanda Willenbring also on daddy sang base when earl goes up really high. geoff just looks at him like wtf
I laugh every time!
Geoff is a Sea-Witch... should he be concerned? (Little Mermaid Medly...)
@@christopheracall3530 😂 good point. maybe
You know you're used to hearing Geoff's voice when you hear an F#1 and think, "Oh, that's easy for him." LOL!
Geoff and Layne arrange for VP about 50/50. Eli did one too actually: Eleanor Rigby, and it's delightful. Emoni sang The Bones with VP when Earl had left.
Of your last few reactions: Hoist the Colours Geoff, Halo Layne, Wicked Geoff, Friends on the Other Side Layne, If I were a Rich Man Layne. Geoff's arrangements tend to be a bit more lyrical, and he has Layne singing baritone not just beatboxing. Layne's arrangements tend to be a bit more rhythmically complex and Geoff ends up doing amazing impossible runs and painted odd colors. Not a perfect way to tell the arrangers apart, but is a starting place. Having two such skilled arrangers in one group is astounding. The little bit of arranging by Eli make me want to hear more. Eleanor Rigby is brilliant, and the Dr. Who mini was a delight.
@@moniqueakar484 Didn't Eli also write the arrangement for Carry On Wayward Son? Agree that having just one outstanding arranger is amazing (and we, the audience benefit), but VoicePlay is blessed with multiple talented arrangers.
@@cmz90 Both Layne and Eli are credited on "Carry on my wayward son" (and Queen Medley as well) - I know Eli is mainly credited with the idea for Queen Medley and solo credited for Eleanor Rigby, but I don't know about "Carry on my wayward son"
Geoff played Ursula in LIttle Mermaid, so kill the witch struck a cord ...
LOL
Rachel and some of the guys in the group sang for Disney, she also understudied for the Glinda role on the 2nd national tour for Wicked and also was on Broadway for The Addams Family as Wednesday, among other productions. Emoni is just amazing. When they were singing Popular, the backing vocals were singing Emerald City. I think the section before Gravity is Geoff's own arrangement, it's actually the same song as Gravity but in the show, it's spoken. Gravity is sung last in Act 1 and For Good is toward the end of Act 2 - Voiceplay flipped the two. As always, cool reaction.
Sorry if someone else already pointed it out, but for future reference VoicePlay always listed each songs arranger in the description of each video, and this one was indeed arranged by Geoff.
Rachel's ending was wonderful! Her quick, agile runs were just beautifully done.
I can’t stop watching this medley. Glad to see experts point out things my non-singing self will never notice on my own lol
Geoff called this his seven-minute BEAST that was years in the making.
Emoni was on the Sing-Off Season 4 as part of group named Ten. That's the same season as Home Free and Voice Play. The interesting thing about Ten was that the group formed to be on the Sing-Off and had never performed together before that. The singers in the group were all background singers before getting together. I found it interesting to watch their journey on the Sing-Off as they found their identity as a group.
You mention Geoff's usual relaxed delivery. That's another thing I love about his singing. Puts me in mind of the late Perry Como who was a favorite of my parents.
Mele Kalikimaka is a great example of his relaxed delivery
Excellent analysis, as always. During Geoff's solo for Wonderful, Eli took over the bass line. You can see him hand-conducting himself when the camera cuts to him. Also, loved watching your ventriloquist skills in the last chunk of the video 😝
I need to thank you--it was your reaction on geoff's bare necessities that made me check out him and voiceplay! So, thanks!
Wonderful break down as usual. I'm glad you acknowledged the amazing perc by Layne in defying gravity which pretty much all of the other reactors failed to catch in the midst of everything else going on. He and Geoff blew my mind with how good that sounded. Thank you for what you do.
Wicked especially is a show where there's not a lot of variation and coloratura in performances! They're so strict to going by the book on that show, that this arrangement is absolutely fascinating. There are so many cool moments in it, I really love the way the soloists adapted their sections. Great, great video. Also, for more on the Broadway area, I would love to hear your reaction to something from Hadestown with Patrick Page. How Long or Hey Little Songbird would be incredible bass songs to hear
VoicePlay is good at listing who is responsible for the arrangement in their video descriptions. You can always check there for yourself. 🙂
I have to tell you that I love your analysis. I have no knowledge of music, beyond enjoying it and playing around on the keyboard. But I have been watching various experts analyze acapella videos and I am learning A LOT! You explain things so that, even if I don't fully understand exactly what you mean, I am able to recognize the talent of the singers. I am also able to catch repeating words and phrases you use and get some understanding of what they mean. Thank you for being so thorough and taking the time to point out things I would never have noticed on my own. You are helping me appreciate and enjoy music so much more.😊
Geoff and Layne have each done almost exactly 50% of the videos. (I got obsessive one day while trying to figure out why I always know which one arranged before I check. I still don't have a clue how I tell them apart, but it became easy to count and see who does "most." And the answer was - neither, they're equal (if you eliminate the recent flurry of shorts from Layne) Layne, however, almost always does the medleys, so this is an unusual choice here.
Emoni also sang in The Bones, and if you haven't yet heard that one, you should. It was the second of the two they did right after Earl left, and both arguably sound like they were a response. (The 1st was The Heart of Life)
I agree both of those songs felt to me like they were responses to Earl's departure.
Perfect time for "you're the mean one Mr Grinch" , one of their best with Geoff goes inhuman .
Racheal was in Wicked the 2nd touring company.
Geoff said this took him a couple years to arrange.
Had to wait for the right voices to be available, Rachael and Emoni and Cesar who's with the group now
Peter, there are only two Reactors that I really enjoy listening to. You're definitely in the top two. The other is a female. In my opinion, Opera Singers seem to have that special ability to give a wonderful breakdown, analysis and critique of the techniques employed in these various genres that we are exposed to.
Dude, you're not a Ferengi. Just say "woman", like a normal person.
@@cybergeek11235 oh god, I'm ferengi like you said lol😂 just Googled the meaning of this word, reread the comment above and realized that I always say male / female when I want to say about the biological sex. So... Natives don't speak like that, do you?
@@hanna_ivanchenko Oh, you're not a native speaker! Dang, now I feel like a jerk. Um, *some* native speakers do speak like that, but (in my opinion) it makes them sound like they're talking about a specimen, not a person. Like, you talk about "the female of the species" or how "the ranking female in the pack", but that's when you're trying to maintain a level of detachment. You never hear songs like "female got them apple-bottom jeans" or "you make me feel like a natural female", right? 😀
@@cybergeek11235that makes sense:) by the way, I'm proud of myself that you didn't get at once that I'm not a native :)
@@hanna_ivanchenko as you should be! I'd love to be functionally bilingual, but I don't have any real opportunity to USE a second language in my daily life, and if I'm not actively using it, it will fade away :(
Such a wonderful arrangement! It took Geoff a long time to finalize it, but it paid off! 💖🔥💯
Geoff and Layne alternate arrangements for VoicePlay. While they're rehearsing a Layne piece, Geoff is working on the arrangement for their next song, and vice versa.
LOL. Your opening was super resonant bass. If I didn’t already know you are an operatic bass I’d know at that moment.
Geoff's solo in Wonderful is sung by the Wizard in the original.
Nuts! I wanted to see your face when he hit that last note. LOL. Peter, I think I read somewhere that you teach? You’re really good at explaining things. I wish I’d had you in some of my classes back in college. I might have understood the theory classes a little better. LOL. Anyway, awesome review, as usual. I always look forward to these.
"Let's get Wicked" love it. This is a great arrangement.
I know I always say I appreciate your in depth analysis on these but I really do love hearing them as I continue to learn more and more about things by them, I love how knowledgeable you are with such a vast amount of music. Not just terminology but the structure of various types of music and how they are typically composed versus how they are arranged. I really do love it. Thank you as always
Nice job Peter. Always love you analysis
That C#1 sub you can hear very well even without headphones
I love how VoicePlay goes from a song that’s related to murder to a song about being thankful for your friends. Brilliant stuff!
I notice that in VP's medleys they usually perform the songs in the order from the original show/movie.
So excited you’re reacting to this one!! It was arranged by Geoff!
I’m so sad we didn’t get to see your facial expressions for the ending 😭
OH YEAH! I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for doing this one!! Great job.
Another great job Peter! Love Wicked and VP did a fun job with it.
I love your analysis, thanks for always pointing out what we may have missed or defining what we can't hear or explain! :)
thank you for another great reaction Peter
Once again, really excited for the notification. I’ll have to join your patreon when I can.
First off, glad that you're feeling better! And you lucky duck for getting to see this live on Broadway (This, Hamilton and Phantom would be my big 3 to see live) Thank you for sharing this with us.
wow! that was a very detailed analysis ❤️🏴
I love voice play and this one too ! Greatings from germany ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Incredible insight as always. Battling a sore throat here too, thankfully i had to play the piano for this years christmas concert and didn't have to sing for an hour haha. Hope you feel better soon.
Rachel actually drops the song 'one day in the emerald city in the background' of 'popular'.
Thanks for your analysis. It’s always interesting.
The lead-in to last song; the “unlimited” is part of the lyrics of that song.
Awesome commentary. I love the vids Voiceplay does because of their "acapella musical theater" where they really get into character...please consider looking at some of their other music. I adore Queen in 5 minutes and I really LOVE their versions of Moana and Little Mermaid. Still do not know why Disney doesn't hire them for a musical film LOL. Really they ARE that good!
Isn't this great? So impressed.
Great video, sir!
The other lady was in one of groups on the show called Sing Off.
I've heard in an interview from either Layne or Geoff that they typically alternate the arranging.
Great review and analysis! I’ve been catching up on your videos and just subscribed. Very enjoyable. With musical theater, I’d love to hear your reaction or take on Patrick Page as Hades in Hadestown.
You should check out Tim Fousts song come go with me
You need to react to Tim Storms - Lonesome Road. His version of lonesome road is nothing but pit viper moments. He holds the Guinness world record for the lowest talking and singing voice.
YESSSSS
Hey Peter! I‘m already a huge fan of y’all (The Bass Gang). Will there be some more songs soon? 😅👍🏻
Eli also does the bass when Geoff's doing his solo
Combined pit viper! 😄
Looks like the time has come to check out Diana Ankudinova's "rechenka"
you need to do Can you feel the love tonight by pentatonix next!!!
A shame your camera cut out, but I appreciated all the analysis. 🙏
Can you pretty please react to Elena Shaddow and Soo Bae performing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Elena is my favorite Broadway actress and Legit Soprano, seriously. Soo is an amazing Cellist. It would mean alot
Could u react to Tim’s new solo
hey man, react to Chris Cornell or his bands: Soundgarden, Audioslave or Temple of the dog (say hello 2 heaven live)
Peter, I'm waiting next Dimash reaction. Ave Maria or Olympico please.
That's a long E on Emoni buddy. Other than that great analysis
Thank you. lol Every time he says her name, I think of a sea anemone.
@@athlov lmao, i agree
please react to over the river ptx pls.
Listen to ring of fire from Free Tree ft Avi Kaplan, 2 bass singers 1 song
Did you mean Home Free? If so, he's already reacted to that one back in August. You can listen to it here: th-cam.com/video/6Rrjdw_QTWw/w-d-xo.html
During the 'corn-fed hick' section (sung by the wizard), in Wicked, it always sounded to me like it was very deliberately supposed to sound like the singer was going to break into 'Gary, Indiana' at any time. If that one was going to change Genres, I think it would have gone country, not pop.
NF , paralyzed... Please! New sub anyways! Stay blessed.
PLEASE HAVE A REACTION TO PENTATONIX GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN. BTW THE REACTION IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST.
Plees chek out Tomi p doing hellfire bass cover i have a relly good time hope you Will love it 👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂
Does anyone else turn into a puddle when he starts talking? Just me?
Me too. Peter has a beautiful voice regardless of how he uses it. I love to listen to him.
It’s always about Geoff Geoff and Geoff
The other singer are only 10 pourcent of his attention 🙄🙄🙄
Voiceplay it s 6 singer (in this one) not only Geoff 😡😡😡
Calm down
Too bad your video froze up.
Sigh. Too much analysis.
Lol don’t watch. I love it.
Lol, what exactly do you think you’re watching?
Sigh. Too much whining.
