I remember when Eli said he likes watching reactions of "the guy who thinks he doesn't know much about music but still makes sense with what he says" and I remember thinking he was talking about you!
I adore what they did with this, and John was just amazing! Such killer vocals with all of them and the combo of Geoff's bass and Layne's beatbox at the height of the song with John's atmospheric notes is SO powerful! Not that any of it would be nearly as amazing without J. None and Eli holding down those harmonies in the middle. It's just such an incredible arrangement and performance. I felt like I held my breath for most of this song when I was first hearing it, and heck, still, just to not miss a note.
I'm right there with you on the play it again train! These a capella groups are so multifaceted that you can't hear everything at once. I have to go back over and over and make a concentrated effort to hear each layer! Keep up the awesome reactions! I appreciate you! ❤
Exquisite! while Jeff is rumbling , Lane is going nuts beat boxing and John is playing in the next galaxy if you listen really closely Eli and Dj non are making some crazy runs in the background. watch Elis hands and face it makes it easier to pick out. John is stunning as the high Tennor tho...
The song was written for a prison movie, “Unchained”. Later words were written and Todd Duncan had the original recording. The song has been recorded by several artists, including Elvis around 1977.
I love your reaction! I can only confirm it! Words fail me every time I hear voiceplay. I can never get enough of the Geoffdowns and the Laynesane beatboxing. It doesn't matter who joins in for voiceplay, they're all incredibly good!
I really enjoyed this reaction Dennis & I so agree with you. Ever since I first saw/heard "It Ain't Me" I have loved John Pinto, Jr. and I am NOT a fan of "higher range" singers. I almost always find myself wincing but not with John. My very first thought when I heard Earl left was that John would be such a great 5th member. I was really excited when Geoff said they would be working with John again & this song/video did not disappoint. John's voice is so light & airy, never screechy and I could listen to him all day, which is a serious complement from me. I agree that all the VP guys were wonderful as well but they always are! I know many Eli fan's are disappointed he didn't get a "solo" but I love Eli too and there are many songs where he has a large part. It's all part of being in a group. Geoff's arrangement of this was really beautiful as well.
@KingFamilyReActs I know I'm several months late but this whole pulls at my heart strings 😥🍁 It probably wasn't their intention to get people to naturally 😢💐 cry but maaaaaan I'm roaring with some many emotions listening to all the melodies,harmonics it's do beautiful 😭🌸
Alex North wrote for Todd Duncan to sing as the theme for the 1955 prison movie Unchained hence the name of the song. Also love your reactions Dennis. Keep em coming brotha.
This is really good, though I would have liked to hear more from the members of Voiceplay themselves. This is more like John Pinto Jr. featuring Voiceplay. But it’s still excellent.
Felt the same way. I wanted a Voiceplay song, instead got them as backup singers. Now, of course it sounds good, John is a good singer and VP are amazing, but it was not what I was looking for. BTW, I like your icon!
The live from ptx last night is on you tube so could react to that one if no video Comes out for the lucky ones shale go listen to the rest now lol 😊 Your reaction was brilliant you got me excited when you got excited wow John has an amazing high range I was hoping they work with him again and can I point out I love Geoff's top he wearing ❤️
When are you trying to get to 50k by? Good luck! As for the song, I wanted more VP rather than just John. He's great, yes, but I'm here for Voiceplay. I was so disappointed that Eli didn't get a solo! Honestly, other than John, the one that shined was Layne. He is amazing and he killed it, both with the harmonies (I love when he sings) and the percussion. Geoff was too understated imo. But it was his arrangement, so I'm not too surprised. He likes to feature the collab partner the most over himself. Unfortunately. Lol. You are right, it did look like the Oval Office, haha! Apparently it is some estate house. Super classy. Oh, and Geoff's wife Kathy was their production manager for this, so that's neat. The patron preview of Sixteen Tons had a little bit after it that I think was filmed as they were leaving the estate. Now I know where it was! I was wondering what was going on. :)
You mentioned waiting to react to PTX Lucky Ones & said you would wait to Monday & then react to the audio only one. I would highly encourage you to watch the Jimmy Fallen version instead as they were not actually live with Jimmy Fallen but did present their full video of the song. They might release the official video next week but if they don't I would definitely say the Jimmy Fallen over the audio only.
Well, according to a bit of research, I found this website ( www.dansher.com/unchained/unchained.html ) that gives an interesting version of the history of this song, stating it was believed that Al Hibbler may have been the first to sing the song. However, according to wikipedia, William Stirrat was not the author, but was claiming that the name Hy Zaret was his pen name. Obviously, this song is shrouded in mystery and scandal; however, I think we can all agree that it is truly a legendary, timeless classic.
Jeg har hørt både VoicePlay og Home free versjon av Unchained Melody og jeg må bare innse at VoicePlay rekker ikke Home plays versjon lenger enn opp til anklene Sorry Voice Play
Im slightly dissapointed with this cover as a voiceplay fan.Dont get me wrong,it is still great but i dont get the goosebumps like other songs from them.This particular song is bested by Marc Martel's version according to me...
I imagine the boys were kind of tired when this version was done. It took 2 or 3 shoots as there were some major technical issues with the first one & they had to completely reshoot the video, take 2 had the same issue but at least they caught it before finishing & had to restart all over again. They talked about it on their BTS session on patreon
@@christinadowdican3268 im not a hater and in fact,im a fan.But i dont think this is their best cover and its just average for me..thats what im trying to say,i didn't talk about the visual productions
@@davidvlhmar3493 my apologies, I don't think i called you s hater, ii was just trying to explain about the issues they ran into trying to film it, granted the first take was probably better. Again my apologies.

Great reaction! I really loved this cover by them - I think the arrangement was wonderful and John knocked it out of the park.

most spectacular interpretatn, v diff frm th othrs coz of th lead

I love this cover! John is insanely talented, it's crazy. And that section of Layne's beatboxing was absolutely incredible!

Dennis, your music tastes are so closely in-tune with my own. I love Home Free, PTX, and VoicePlay all.

This was good. Although I'm partial to Austin Brown's cover right now lol. But loved this too
Btw Anthem Lights put a new one out. Idk if the video is out. But its blinding lights/take on me.
An 80s medley I think. ❤
Agreed. This is good, but not even close to Austin's rendition.
@@carladewitt1947 I wouldn't say not even close though
They are both so different, it’s impossible to say what one is better.

Absolutely LOVE this reaction man!
All I can say is "HOLY WOW.". FANTASTIC.
My new favorite version. If they had this version in Ghost no one would remember what was going on in the scene, they would only remember this song.
I completely understand your loss for words.....All I could say after I heard this one is........DAMN.....
That was amazing ! I now have 3-4 favorite versions of this song !!
I absolutely loved your reaction. ❤️😊

I have no words🥰🥰🥰
10:46 nice chest C2 and chest-fry F#1 by yourself 🙃
Actually very good Dennis lol
I was thinking that myself but i didn't know the actual notes he managed but G-D Damn Id love more of that
Original song is by Alex North done in 1955
Beautiful 🌹
I have thought for years this would have been a good cover for PTX. VP just killed it!
Hey there Dennis, this was was awesome
I actually prefer the way you jump around on the videos, replaying the best parts. Subbed to a lot of reactionists and I prefer the way you do it. :)
Alex North wrote for Todd Duncan to sing as the theme for the 1955 prison movie Unchained hence the name of the song. Also love your reactions Dennis. Keep em coming brotha.
Old Low Note Compilation | JD Sumner, London Parris, Thurl Ravenscroft Can you react to this video? Very low basses
This is really good, though I would have liked to hear more from the members of Voiceplay themselves. This is more like John Pinto Jr. featuring Voiceplay. But it’s still excellent.

Glad I wasn’t alone in that thought, John was amazing but yeah VP def felt like the accompanists unfortunately

For me, I want more but maybe they just want it to be not much because it will be iritating or uncomfortable to here. Still great cover for Voiceplay
Just search Elvis Unchained Melody
Maybe the oval office looks like this?!
Video starts at 5:03
Very nice but personally I prefer them with DeeJay Young or either of the two brothers whose names escaoe me right now.

Please react to morissette amon. Same song.....
Liked your reaction. I am glad you enjoyed it. But I would be a very unhappy Voiceplay fan if they make him the 5th. This is not my favorite by them
That was pretty awful. No tribute to the original. I have no idea why you acting like that was any good. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
