He ain't the only one...The VA of Vortex and Asmodeus is an award winning Broadway star. Plus freaking Kesha voiced Queen Bee. Absolutely star studded cast...GOD I'm so excited for Hazbin Hotel, freaking KEITH DAVID as Husk! GOD IT'S GONNA BE AMAZING!
I think, if he really wants a good example of Bryce's vocal range, he should react to "Foolish to Think" from the musical "A Gentlemen's Guide to Love and Murder". My mom, best friend, and I all agree he has a very old fashioned quality to his voice that makes him sound very pleasing.
The thing I found more impressive from Bryce is that this is not even his singing voice! He is singing in the character's voice, with his British accent and all. Bryce is really one of a kind!
Ok maybe its an unpopular opinion but I actually dont think it sounds a lot like Stolas and is much closer to his normal voice. I think its a little deeper than what we are used from Stolas.
"Is this normal for the show?" Yes! Most Helluva Boss VAs are Broadway actors, such as Bryce Pinkham, so they all have amazing voices and the music is just excellent in general! I loved your reaction btw!
@@CountDraccula Even if they haven't performed on Broadway, the majority are still professional vocalists, with the exception of maybe Brandon Rogers and Richard Horvitz (who loves theater and musicals anyways!)
@@DaniReacts13I understand that a lot of them are professional vocalists I was just saying they weren't all Broadway Actors as that could cause confusion
In season 1 episode 2, he sings probably his(now) second best song. This show is super underrated. There's so much that goes on it's hard to explain. At surface level, the show is about a group of imps in Hell that own their own contract killing business, but it goes so, SO much deeper than that. Each character has so much backstory. It'll make you laugh and cry your heart out.
The character is rather tragic, he’s a man forced into an arranged marriage with a horrible woman and he had a child with her, he falls in love with someone of “lower class” and the feelings aren’t totally reciprocated
This song was originally sung and created by PARANOID DJ two years ago and it's called Stolas' Lament. They just now made it an official song for the series by having the voice actor for Stolas perform the song. Helluva Boss is an adult cartoon about demons in Hell. You can find all episodes for it here on youtube on the channel you got this video from. Believe me, if you were watching the show, this would hit you so much harder- You will get to hear Bryce singing in the second episode of season 1 and the first episode of season 2.
@@faanvugeincynicalassassin Yeah, he also just made a song about Verosica. But if you want more heart felt song, then look no further then his Angel Dust songs. Like 911, Show & Tell and Valentino. He does Angel's voice very well, and damn he can put feelings in his voice. (That scream in 911 still gives me shivers.)
If you wanna hear the high note listen to one of his songs called “You will be ok” his voice is so fricken amazing I cannot and the helluva boss series in general has so many amazing songs too
When/if he watches the first helluva boss EP and he sees Stolas for the first time, he's either going to be dying laughing or slightly disturbed 😂😂 The character you watched sing his name is Stolas and he has sang 2 other songs "You will be okay" and "Owl in a cage" I suggest both, they're absolutely amazing!
@@cyberwolf_1013 The pilot has officially been declared non-canon. And to be honest it became pretty apparent that it was non-canon long before it was made official. Everyone is completely different. Blitzo is portrayed as a completely incompetent moron rather than a killing savant who's a completely unstoppable death machine but terrible at being a regular person. Moxxie's respect for Blitzo is completely absent, and his annoyance with Blitzo's usual antics is amplified into open hostility towards Blitzo as a person. Millie is a bimbo rather than the well-adjusted, emotionally grounding force in an endless sea of psychopathy, self-loathing, and daddy issues.

Like Truth Seekers in its entirety doesn't make sense if the pilot is canon.
Since you liked this song, you'd probably also like YOU WILL BE OKAY from S1 E2. Same character performing a more comforting song with an equally powerful voice. They's a lot of context in this I could give, but the short version is that he's heartbroken at the thought of loosing someone who's one of the few positive things in his life. He's coming to terms that it's ultimately the other guy's choice to stay with him and is setting him free from a mostly transactional arrangement. And this music video will be the last new content for the show we're expecting for the next couple months. So we're just gonna have to wait and see if our sad owl boy gets his happy ending or not
To answer your question, yes, the show is basically a musical, which they tell you in the pilot, with most episodes having a musical number of some kind. Episode 2 of season 1 has another song sung by this guy, so you get introduced to him rather quickly. I highly recommend just watching/reacting to the whole show, maybe 2 or 3 episodes a week, as they are at max 30 minutes long. Most of the characters that have singing parts are voiced by Broadway actors/vocalists. The show starts off very extreme, but it tends to calm down once the plot is established more.
Every time I hear these emotional Stolas moments I think about the Pilot VA and wonder how well this would carry with a Stolas who had a deeper more intimidating voice
You can't just jump into this one without knowing anything about the show! 😅 There's so much emotional context you're missing out on, enough to make us viewers cry at the song 😅 The show is a musical, so every episode has at least one song in it. And Bryce is not the only Broadway star on the cast. PLEASE check out the show, even if it's just for yourself off-camera; you will not be disappointed! Without specific spoilers, the background of this song: Bryce's character, Stolas, is in a sort of transactional relationship with someone who's got even more baggage than he does (which is a lot!), and he's been trying to make it more real and less transactional for basically two seasons now, but everyone on the show is too damn broken 😢
Whenever Vivziepop makes a music video or add a song to her shows, they always come out banging and some absolutely amazing storytelling mixed into every note and lyric. Helluva Boss and the other show of this universe, Hazbin Hotel, are amazing in their own right and I definitely recommend you look at these, but this by far my new favorite song within this universe. So glad you were able to enjoy it.
Yes it's heartbreaking beautiful. And his character Stolas sings alot. He's also a loving father, he loves his daughter so much and genuinely wants to be with Blitz O. But they are having relationship problems. Sings his emotions out.
Yes this is normal for the show, each episode has at least one musical number. And Stolas (the character in this video) has had a few songs "You'll be Ok" "Stolas Sings" and this. This song and Stolas Sings are power ballads, You'll Be OK is a lullaby for his daughter Octavia.
Love seeing proper appreciation for Bryce's incredible voice. Like someone else said, S1e2 (Loo Loo Land) he has a song at the very beginning. Once he started singing I was HOOKED. He's just too good.
He has sung 3 songs from Helluva Boss (including this one) called "You'll Be Okay" and "Stolas Sings," his voice is ridiculously beautiful. You can even listen to other songs from the series like, "Klown B*tch" "House of Asmodeus" etc.
Oh yeah, there so many beautiful shots in this music video and I love it and the animation 2-D art style is breathtaking. and I feel really sorry for Stolas he’s so sad I just want to give him a big hug. He deserves better and to be happy i’ll be uploading my reaction soon !
This music video wouldn’t have been possible without the writer and producer of that song, Paranoid DJ. That channel had a fan fic based on this song and was made about a year ago. Huge thanks to them for making this happen. I’m pretty sure the verses were altered to reflect the main points to the series, however the chorus wasn’t changed at all (atleast I don’t think so.)
Stolas (the character) sings a couple times in the show. Every song he sings is immediately one of my favs just because he’s so talented. The show itself is very musical, but a majority of the songs are more comedic. He sings in S1 E2 and in S2 E1 and both are more dramatic in tone compared to the rest of the songs in Helluva Boss.
(Everyone else in the comment section has already given every piece of info, but I want to put it all in my own way) Bryce's character here, Stolas, does have two other songs in the show, both very emotional. This song in particular was originally written by a fan who's a fan-music creator, Paranoid DJ, like 2 years ago in between episodes 6 and 7 (of season 1; we're now in between 7 and 8 of season 2). For this video they got permission to cover the song with updated lyrics and performed by the character's voice actor, set to a visual side story to set the tone for the next episode. There's a lot of emotional context behind this song from the show, so I really hope you watch all the current episodes soon, and perhaps come back to this song (it'll hit so much harder). As long as you're okay with crass humor (a la Brandon Rogers, who co-writes the show), it's a great show, a musical with at least one number per episode, about some demons in Hell trying to work out their traumas to have functional relationships. At the center is the protagonists Blitz(o), an imp who runs a team of hitmen who go to the human realm to kill people the deceased want revenge on, and Stolas, a prince of the Ars Goetia charged with astronomy. They have had a deal where Blitz(o) uses Stolas's magic grimoire to travel to the surface world in exchange for a sexual affair to make up for Stolas's loveless marriage, but after some events the real feelings they start to develop for each other get fractured. I can't give away more than that, but all of us Helluva Boss fans would implore you to check it out for the details!
Bryce Pinkham met the creator of the show, Vivienne Medrano, because she's a fan of A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder (the Broadway musical) and he originated the role of Monty Navarro (the main character). If you haven't listened to Gentleman's Guide, I highly recommend it, as it's currently the 10th year anniversary of the show!
Helluva Boss is an animated series on TH-cam by Vivziepop. You should watch it. This music video is cannon to the Helluva Boss show. These are two characters from the show that have an interesting relationship. Also, yes he does have other songs in the series. The show is a musical, sort of. There is a song or two in most episodes, and I think they are all bangers. As a musician you would like this show, at least for part of it for sure. Considering it’s a TH-cam animation, the animation and music goes hard. The story is also very compelling.
He sings a Lullaby an episode two and you really get to hear just how good he is~ If you want to hear him belt it out, that is the song you need to hear~ Including this one I think we’ve only ever heard him sing three times But he put so much emotion into each one~
Info about the show: The pilot gives a glimpse into the main cast: Blitzo (the o is silent), Moxxie, Millie, and Loona. The three imps and the hellhound are a part of I.M. P (Immediate Murder Professionals) and their core job is fulfilling commissions from sinners (I can't fathom a hellborn citizen wanting a human dead) to kill someone currently living. In the pilot, Stolas is a royal (Goetia) that is basically having an affair with Blitzo. Blitzo wanted a book that give I.M.P. the ability to traverse to the human world, and Stolas wanted the intimate relationship. Granted, you get more about Stolas and the complicated relationship with Blitzo after watching the first season (I don't wanna spoil for any newbies, it's much better to experience it), this song does give a good idea of how he truly feels about Blitzo. Can't give too much without flat out spoilers :(
@@imdrunkmk427 Out of curiosity; What part of the pilot isn't cannon? I'm pretty sure their jobs haven't changed, just some of the VAs. Like, I'm positive in Spring Broken they went to the human world and killed people contracted.
@@jordanhunter3375 it just gave a glimpse of the characters, their relationships, and a foundation for the show. Like most pilots. It's just how pilots go my guy 💁
Bryce Pinkham starred in The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder on Broadway, and he's had two other big songs in the show so far. The music for this show goes so hard - every episode has at least one original song, and stylewise they're all over the map. Other Broadway stars in the cast include James Monroe Inglehart (the Genie from Aladdin) and Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice). Also definitely check out the music video for their other show Hazbin Hotel, "Addict", it's equally good! And the Hazbin Hotel pilot itself has two great songs in it.
There are just too many words to even describe the situation the character is in. Its honestly a must watch, there is build up but definitely worth it.
You need to listen to his two other songs as Stolas, being his songs in season 1, episode 2 and season 2, episode 1. Fun fact about the second one: He did the entire thing whilst also crying.
just looked up Bryce as I've been a fan pf the show for ages. He's American, I never knew this and just assumed he was English this whole time. This also means he performed this masterpiece WHILST PUTTING ON A FANTASTIC ENGLISH ACCENT. I listened to his broadway songs and his natural accent is very prominent. Truly an artist
If you want to hear him go a little stronger, PLEASE listen to him sing "You will be okay"...then again, PLEASE watch the whole show (you'll hear that song in an ep). This song will feel stronger once you understand the story between Stolas and Blitz.
Fun fact, a lot of the voice actors in Helluva Boss are actually broadway talents like Bryce, Stolas' voice actor! Two of which include Alex Brightman who plays Beetjuice in the broadway show, (you guessed it), Beetlejuice. And James Monroe Iglehart who played Genie in the original broadway production of Aladdin! :D
Hellava boss is a dark comedy set in Hell and is basically a Broadway musical, literally, since several voice actors are actually Broadway musicial stage actors.
Oh we fans of this show are aware of the size of the production. The credits to the episodes seem to grow larger which shows how big the production of a show like this for TH-cam is. I do recommend that you check out the show.
Just listening to you talk about singing makes me want to take those voice lessons I’ve always wanted but never had the time/money for. I LOVE singing, but progress is so frustratingly slow just experimenting on my own. I really want to be able to understand and do the things you’re talking about.
Stolas does have two other numbers in the show. Each episode has at least one song. The latest episode had 4. I can't say there have been any misses song wise. I get them all stuck in my head. The show comes off oringally as crude adult humor but its actually a very warm and heartfelt show with meaningful character relationships. Worth a watch and I'm glad to find someone who hasn't seen the show react. I was curious as to what someone who hasn't seen it would think.
What I find important to mention is, that this song was originally a fan song from Paranoid DJ here on youtube from I think one or two years ago before the story was as well established. And now it is officially part of the universe with just a few small adjustments.
The best info on the animation is that it's called Helluva Boss, and all of it is on TH-cam for free. The plot is a lot of demons from actual hell running a business where they go to earth and kill mortals for pissed off dead sinners with an axe to grind thanks to the help of a wealthy benefactor from the demon nobility. It's a little about their job killing mortals for profit, but mostly, it's about the cast and their relationships to each other and the world. Also lots of dirty jokes and phenomenal cartoon violence. Very worth the watch, and it does well on react channels, FYI. Plus, each episode has at least one song either sung in character or as part of a musical interlude.
yes, his voice really shines in the softer parts of the song, the line at 1:40 is my favourite part of the song (but the whole thing is really good ofc) he really managed to get the melancholy through
As a huge fan of this show, this style of production is absolutely normal for just about every episode. If you don't know what it's about, it takes place in Hell following a trio of imps and a hellhound that run an assassination business in the Pride Ring called I.M.P. (Immediate Murder Professionals). The boss is named Blitzo but he insists on being called Blitz so a lot of people spell it like "Blitzø". The other two imps are Millie, a sweet but psycho kind of imp born and raised in Wrath, and her husbad Moxxie, a "thespian type" born in Wrath and raised in Greed. The Hellhound is Loona who was adopted by Blitzø and has a serious attitude with just about everyone who crosses her path. The demon in this music video is Stolas, a prince of the Ars Goetia (based on the actual depiction from the Lesser Key of Solomon) who has been lending his spellbook to Blitzø so they can access the human world to conduct their business of taking revenge on the people they're contracted to kill by the Sinners that show up in Hell. The deal between Blitzø and Stolas is that Blitzø has to return the book once a month on the full moon and sleep with Stolas and then he can keep the book for the rest of the month. The thing is is that Stolas is married to Stella and they have a teenage daughter named Octavia (Via for short). Stolas cheated on Stella with Blitzø and now everything is going wonky at home for him. I don't condone cheating, but to be fair, she was absolutely horrible to Stolas during the entirety of the marriage and absolutely had it coming. I won't say anymore, but I highly recommend watching the show on Vivzie's channel. It's absolutely amazing and you won't regret it.
for his last song, he literally cried while singing... His charakter reached a breaking point there and his voice broke, some lines were a little off or screeching... many people said that he was performing badly, but i think it's even more of a masterpiece BECAUSE we all know Stolas (Name of this Owl guy) can sing very well! His heart and soul just shattered in this episode
as a helluva boss fan when you said we need to hear more i was like ongggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Half of all the episodes are straight up musicals, the other half are gold too and all of them are hilarious. Gose surprisingly emotionally deep without throwing too much at you.
So, some context... the 4 eyed owl demon made a deal with the horned demon... then they both fell in love, both refuse to admit this, and both keep telling themselves that while their love is true, the other is just using them. So the owl demon has finally gotten the gem that will allow the horn demon to nolonger be dependent on him, effectively breaking their deal, freeing them both to admit their true feelings, or as owl fears, horn will take the gem and walk away without even looking his way.... it is so God damm pretty
Episode two. He sings a song at the start and i knew i was going to love this show from that moment. He really really does a great job. But its not just him theres a lot of amazing songs in there.
trust me, you will enjoy the show, tbh the creator of the show's yt channel gave me strange expectations for this show, but that strangeness ended up being what made Helluva Boss unique and amazing
Helluva Boss is an amazing indepent animation made by Vivziepop here on TH-cam. The basis of the show is a group of demons work as assassins in hell, but oh the show has evolved into so much more. It's truly one of my favorite shows of all time.
Oh, I totally recommend the show. Tons of cool musical numbers in there. I would recommend the pilot first, but it's no longer cannon. So definitely do a slight bit of research before diving head long in. Gonna help in the long run
You think this is impressive? Bryce sung a song in the show where he did it in one take AND started tearing up and crying towards the end. We love Owl Daddy
This song ripped my heart out when I heard it today. You really have to know the lore to fully understand just how beautiful this song is. Good thing is the past seasons are right there waiting on you to watch. It's brutal and violent but all that is really secondary to the real story.
Helluva boss is a show on TH-cam that got HYPER MEGA famous stupid quick. It's got awful, raunchy, gorey humor that's hilarious, but when it wants to hit you in the feels, it does so like a runaway freight train to the family jewels. I'm not exaggerating by saying this show is better than most TV shows currently on. They've had massive quality voice actors on, like the Broadway voices of genie and Beetlejuice, Norman Reedus, and even Ke$ha. I cannot reccomend you check this show out enough.
This is absolutely normal in the show! Every character has an amazing voice actor that can perform so well musically! This song is even more beautiful in the context of Stolas's character. He definitely deserves all the love.
I KNOW RIGHT!?!?!?!? i am obsessed with this song!!!! You gonna watch the show after this music video?? You hear when he rasped "let" when he sang "let me explain" and then later when he sang "please" in "please look my way"? He is such a freaking AMAZING singer its ridiculous
Stolas has three songs of his own in the show which is a tame musical. The song of the show fit the settings usually. So no random singing. he'll probably have another one but currently "You'll be ok" is his first and "Stolas Sings" his second . a lot of the actual episodes have their own songs
I'm glad that someone who knows music is just as blown away as I am by this performance. Coupled with the knowledge of the show and story, this song hits very hard. A true masterpiece in my completely uneducated opinion.
Such kind words and appreciation for Bryce! I appreciate that, subscribing for that, and yes! You should definitely watch more of the show, and yes, Bryce does sing a time or two in it. ;) Even beyond that though, it's a great show, and it's right here on youtube! What have you got to lose?! :D
he sings two other songs in the show, 1st season is Stolas's Lullaby, and season 2 ep 1 he sings there as well, but all music in this show is amazing .
Bryce Pinkham is actually a Broadway performer - and yes! This is very normal for the show. It's VERY musical and leans into a plethora of genres.
One of my Favorites is Striker's theme song
He ain't the only one...The VA of Vortex and Asmodeus is an award winning Broadway star. Plus freaking Kesha voiced Queen Bee. Absolutely star studded cast...GOD I'm so excited for Hazbin Hotel, freaking KEITH DAVID as Husk! GOD IT'S GONNA BE AMAZING!

Helluva Boss and the other show of this universe, Hazbin Hotel, are amazing in their own right and I definitely recommend you look at these, but this by far my new favorite song within this universe. So glad you were able to enjoy it.
Yes it's heartbreaking beautiful. And his character Stolas sings alot. He's also a loving father, he loves his daughter so much and genuinely wants to be with Blitz O. But they are having relationship problems. Sings his emotions out.
Blitzø the o is silent 😂😂😂
Yes this is normal for the show, each episode has at least one musical number. And Stolas (the character in this video) has had a few songs "You'll be Ok" "Stolas Sings" and this. This song and Stolas Sings are power ballads, You'll Be OK is a lullaby for his daughter Octavia.
5:18 this hurts EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Watching the LIGHT LEAVE HIS EYES! GAAHHH!
Love seeing proper appreciation for Bryce's incredible voice. Like someone else said, S1e2 (Loo Loo Land) he has a song at the very beginning. Once he started singing I was HOOKED. He's just too good.
He has sung 3 songs from Helluva Boss (including this one) called "You'll Be Okay" and "Stolas Sings," his voice is ridiculously beautiful. You can even listen to other songs from the series like, "Klown B*tch" "House of Asmodeus" etc.
If you like this song, I think you'll REALLY like "You Will be Okay," alternatively called "Stolas's Lullaby" apparently.
Oh yeah, there so many beautiful shots in this music video and I love it and the animation 2-D art style is breathtaking. and I feel really sorry for Stolas he’s so sad I just want to give him a big hug. He deserves better and to be happy i’ll be uploading my reaction soon !
This music video wouldn’t have been possible without the writer and producer of that song, Paranoid DJ. That channel had a fan fic based on this song and was made about a year ago. Huge thanks to them for making this happen. I’m pretty sure the verses were altered to reflect the main points to the series, however the chorus wasn’t changed at all (atleast I don’t think so.)
Stolas (the character) sings a couple times in the show. Every song he sings is immediately one of my favs just because he’s so talented. The show itself is very musical, but a majority of the songs are more comedic. He sings in S1 E2 and in S2 E1 and both are more dramatic in tone compared to the rest of the songs in Helluva Boss.
Yes Stolas sings like this commonly in the show :) and you won't have to wait long to hear another one of his songs again if you watch the show
Another song done by this character/voice actor was his first song in the show
Song: You Will Be OK
S1 Ep 2 Loo Loo Land
(Everyone else in the comment section has already given every piece of info, but I want to put it all in my own way) Bryce's character here, Stolas, does have two other songs in the show, both very emotional. This song in particular was originally written by a fan who's a fan-music creator, Paranoid DJ, like 2 years ago in between episodes 6 and 7 (of season 1; we're now in between 7 and 8 of season 2). For this video they got permission to cover the song with updated lyrics and performed by the character's voice actor, set to a visual side story to set the tone for the next episode.
There's a lot of emotional context behind this song from the show, so I really hope you watch all the current episodes soon, and perhaps come back to this song (it'll hit so much harder). As long as you're okay with crass humor (a la Brandon Rogers, who co-writes the show), it's a great show, a musical with at least one number per episode, about some demons in Hell trying to work out their traumas to have functional relationships. At the center is the protagonists Blitz(o), an imp who runs a team of hitmen who go to the human realm to kill people the deceased want revenge on, and Stolas, a prince of the Ars Goetia charged with astronomy. They have had a deal where Blitz(o) uses Stolas's magic grimoire to travel to the surface world in exchange for a sexual affair to make up for Stolas's loveless marriage, but after some events the real feelings they start to develop for each other get fractured. I can't give away more than that, but all of us Helluva Boss fans would implore you to check it out for the details!
Bryce Pinkham met the creator of the show, Vivienne Medrano, because she's a fan of A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder (the Broadway musical) and he originated the role of Monty Navarro (the main character). If you haven't listened to Gentleman's Guide, I highly recommend it, as it's currently the 10th year anniversary of the show!
Helluva Boss is an animated series on TH-cam by Vivziepop. You should watch it. This music video is cannon to the Helluva Boss show. These are two characters from the show that have an interesting relationship.
Also, yes he does have other songs in the series. The show is a musical, sort of. There is a song or two in most episodes, and I think they are all bangers. As a musician you would like this show, at least for part of it for sure. Considering it’s a TH-cam animation, the animation and music goes hard. The story is also very compelling.
0:29 your about to join a fandom that’s what the heck your about to do
Bryce Pinkham is, by far, the greatest actor who plays Stolas
He really belts it out at the end of his song 'You will be okay'.
Is it normal for the show? Yes, it very much is normal, which is what makes the show such a fricking gem.
He sings a Lullaby an episode two and you really get to hear just how good he is~
If you want to hear him belt it out, that is the song you need to hear~
Including this one I think we’ve only ever heard him sing three times
But he put so much emotion into each one~
Watching a clip of this is what prompted me to watch the show.
Info about the show:
The pilot gives a glimpse into the main cast: Blitzo (the o is silent), Moxxie, Millie, and Loona. The three imps and the hellhound are a part of I.M. P (Immediate Murder Professionals) and their core job is fulfilling commissions from sinners (I can't fathom a hellborn citizen wanting a human dead) to kill someone currently living.
In the pilot, Stolas is a royal (Goetia) that is basically having an affair with Blitzo. Blitzo wanted a book that give I.M.P. the ability to traverse to the human world, and Stolas wanted the intimate relationship.
Granted, you get more about Stolas and the complicated relationship with Blitzo after watching the first season (I don't wanna spoil for any newbies, it's much better to experience it), this song does give a good idea of how he truly feels about Blitzo.
Can't give too much without flat out spoilers :(
Pilot is no longer cannon sadly
@@imdrunkmk427 Out of curiosity;
What part of the pilot isn't cannon? I'm pretty sure their jobs haven't changed, just some of the VAs. Like, I'm positive in Spring Broken they went to the human world and killed people contracted.
Yeah, Pilot has been reduced to "Proof of Concept"
@@jordanhunter3375 it just gave a glimpse of the characters, their relationships, and a foundation for the show. Like most pilots. It's just how pilots go my guy 💁
Bryce Pinkham starred in The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder on Broadway, and he's had two other big songs in the show so far. The music for this show goes so hard - every episode has at least one original song, and stylewise they're all over the map. Other Broadway stars in the cast include James Monroe Inglehart (the Genie from Aladdin) and Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice).
Also definitely check out the music video for their other show Hazbin Hotel, "Addict", it's equally good! And the Hazbin Hotel pilot itself has two great songs in it.
There are just too many words to even describe the situation the character is in. Its honestly a must watch, there is build up but definitely worth it.
“This song makes me want so much more” WELCOME TO THE CLUB
You need to listen to his two other songs as Stolas, being his songs in season 1, episode 2 and season 2, episode 1.
Fun fact about the second one:
He did the entire thing whilst also crying.
Whoa really?! I had no idea! The first time I heard that song, I cried too. His voice is so mesmerizing.
just looked up Bryce as I've been a fan pf the show for ages. He's American, I never knew this and just assumed he was English this whole time. This also means he performed this masterpiece WHILST PUTTING ON A FANTASTIC ENGLISH ACCENT. I listened to his broadway songs and his natural accent is very prominent. Truly an artist
If you want to hear him go a little stronger, PLEASE listen to him sing "You will be okay"...then again, PLEASE watch the whole show (you'll hear that song in an ep). This song will feel stronger once you understand the story between Stolas and Blitz.
hes like "i need to hear this guys voice" but you can, if you watch the show. he sings some of the best songs in the series
Fun fact, a lot of the voice actors in Helluva Boss are actually broadway talents like Bryce, Stolas' voice actor! Two of which include Alex Brightman who plays Beetjuice in the broadway show, (you guessed it), Beetlejuice. And James Monroe Iglehart who played Genie in the original broadway production of Aladdin! :D
THE SONG ALSO MAKES US WANT MORE AND WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE NEXT EPISODE YET
Stolas is such a tragic character. It's worth a watch. The Show is very theater. this song always makes me cry.
Hellava boss is a dark comedy set in Hell and is basically a Broadway musical, literally, since several voice actors are actually Broadway musicial stage actors.
I seriously recommend you watch the series, it's soooo good. it has 2 seasons now ( sorry for my English it’s not my first language 😅😅)
Oh we fans of this show are aware of the size of the production. The credits to the episodes seem to grow larger which shows how big the production of a show like this for TH-cam is. I do recommend that you check out the show.
Just listening to you talk about singing makes me want to take those voice lessons I’ve always wanted but never had the time/money for. I LOVE singing, but progress is so frustratingly slow just experimenting on my own. I really want to be able to understand and do the things you’re talking about.
Stolas does have two other numbers in the show. Each episode has at least one song. The latest episode had 4. I can't say there have been any misses song wise. I get them all stuck in my head. The show comes off oringally as crude adult humor but its actually a very warm and heartfelt show with meaningful character relationships. Worth a watch and I'm glad to find someone who hasn't seen the show react. I was curious as to what someone who hasn't seen it would think.
What I find important to mention is, that this song was originally a fan song from Paranoid DJ here on youtube from I think one or two years ago before the story was as well established. And now it is officially part of the universe with just a few small adjustments.
The best info on the animation is that it's called Helluva Boss, and all of it is on TH-cam for free. The plot is a lot of demons from actual hell running a business where they go to earth and kill mortals for pissed off dead sinners with an axe to grind thanks to the help of a wealthy benefactor from the demon nobility. It's a little about their job killing mortals for profit, but mostly, it's about the cast and their relationships to each other and the world. Also lots of dirty jokes and phenomenal cartoon violence. Very worth the watch, and it does well on react channels, FYI. Plus, each episode has at least one song either sung in character or as part of a musical interlude.
yes, his voice really shines in the softer parts of the song, the line at 1:40 is my favourite part of the song (but the whole thing is really good ofc) he really managed to get the melancholy through
As a huge fan of this show, this style of production is absolutely normal for just about every episode. If you don't know what it's about, it takes place in Hell following a trio of imps and a hellhound that run an assassination business in the Pride Ring called I.M.P. (Immediate Murder Professionals). The boss is named Blitzo but he insists on being called Blitz so a lot of people spell it like "Blitzø". The other two imps are Millie, a sweet but psycho kind of imp born and raised in Wrath, and her husbad Moxxie, a "thespian type" born in Wrath and raised in Greed. The Hellhound is Loona who was adopted by Blitzø and has a serious attitude with just about everyone who crosses her path. The demon in this music video is Stolas, a prince of the Ars Goetia (based on the actual depiction from the Lesser Key of Solomon) who has been lending his spellbook to Blitzø so they can access the human world to conduct their business of taking revenge on the people they're contracted to kill by the Sinners that show up in Hell. The deal between Blitzø and Stolas is that Blitzø has to return the book once a month on the full moon and sleep with Stolas and then he can keep the book for the rest of the month. The thing is is that Stolas is married to Stella and they have a teenage daughter named Octavia (Via for short). Stolas cheated on Stella with Blitzø and now everything is going wonky at home for him. I don't condone cheating, but to be fair, she was absolutely horrible to Stolas during the entirety of the marriage and absolutely had it coming. I won't say anymore, but I highly recommend watching the show on Vivzie's channel. It's absolutely amazing and you won't regret it.
The recent Helluva Boss songs are absolutely my favorite, they are just so good at producing everything lately.
The entire series is a must watch!
His voice is beautiful!!! Don’t worry he sings more in the show so there are more songs if you want to hear them or react to!
for his last song, he literally cried while singing...
His charakter reached a breaking point there and his voice broke, some lines were a little off or screeching...
many people said that he was performing badly, but i think it's even more of a masterpiece BECAUSE we all know Stolas (Name of this Owl guy) can sing very well! His heart and soul just shattered in this episode
as a helluva boss fan when you said we need to hear more i was like ongggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Half of all the episodes are straight up musicals, the other half are gold too and all of them are hilarious.
Gose surprisingly emotionally deep without throwing too much at you.
if you wanna hear him use more of his full range definitely check out his lullaby "you will be ok"
So, some context... the 4 eyed owl demon made a deal with the horned demon... then they both fell in love, both refuse to admit this, and both keep telling themselves that while their love is true, the other is just using them. So the owl demon has finally gotten the gem that will allow the horn demon to nolonger be dependent on him, effectively breaking their deal, freeing them both to admit their true feelings, or as owl fears, horn will take the gem and walk away without even looking his way.... it is so God damm pretty
You can check Helluva boss - You will be Ok,
another song from the same character and same performer where you can hear more of his vocal range
Episode two. He sings a song at the start and i knew i was going to love this show from that moment. He really really does a great job. But its not just him theres a lot of amazing songs in there.
Listen to his lullaby for his daughter. It's Stolas's lullaby
This is a music video of a YT cartoon series, i can’t spoil but it’s fire
trust me, you will enjoy the show, tbh the creator of the show's yt channel gave me strange expectations for this show, but that strangeness ended up being what made Helluva Boss unique and amazing
Helluva Boss is an amazing indepent animation made by Vivziepop here on TH-cam. The basis of the show is a group of demons work as assassins in hell, but oh the show has evolved into so much more. It's truly one of my favorite shows of all time.
Dude you need to check out the newest song they released with the episode its called "all 2 u" it gives so much more than what this one gives
Oh, I totally recommend the show. Tons of cool musical numbers in there. I would recommend the pilot first, but it's no longer cannon. So definitely do a slight bit of research before diving head long in. Gonna help in the long run
You think this is impressive? Bryce sung a song in the show where he did it in one take AND started tearing up and crying towards the end. We love Owl Daddy
This song ripped my heart out when I heard it today. You really have to know the lore to fully understand just how beautiful this song is. Good thing is the past seasons are right there waiting on you to watch. It's brutal and violent but all that is really secondary to the real story.
The other song he sings for this show is called 'You will be ok.' It is him singing the song to his kid
Helluva Boss is full of songs performed by amazing singers
The show has a lot of comedy, but there's so many emotions put into it as well
I think Stolas singing the lullaby shows more power to his voice
He has a couple songs in the show and he's amazing
Helluva boss is a show on TH-cam that got HYPER MEGA famous stupid quick. It's got awful, raunchy, gorey humor that's hilarious, but when it wants to hit you in the feels, it does so like a runaway freight train to the family jewels. I'm not exaggerating by saying this show is better than most TV shows currently on. They've had massive quality voice actors on, like the Broadway voices of genie and Beetlejuice, Norman Reedus, and even Ke$ha. I cannot reccomend you check this show out enough.
Yes he does sing a few times in the show. I recommend looking up "You will be okay" and "Stolas sings" if you want to hear more of his songs.
This is absolutely normal in the show! Every character has an amazing voice actor that can perform so well musically! This song is even more beautiful in the context of Stolas's character. He definitely deserves all the love.
I highly recommend watching the series the animations are simply beautiful!
This music video got me to binge the show. It’s so good!!!
Another song to check out would definitely be “you will be okay”
I KNOW RIGHT!?!?!?!? i am obsessed with this song!!!! You gonna watch the show after this music video?? You hear when he rasped "let" when he sang "let me explain" and then later when he sang "please" in "please look my way"? He is such a freaking AMAZING singer its ridiculous
this song is so beautiful without context, and gets even better when you have the full context and can see all the references and symbolism
I feel like youre gonna love almost every song from the show 😂 the songs have absolutely no reason to go so hard, and the STORY BEHIND IT ALL
A good belting song from him is You Will Be Okay. It is also from the show!
Stolas has three songs of his own in the show which is a tame musical. The song of the show fit the settings usually. So no random singing.
he'll probably have another one but
currently "You'll be ok" is his first and "Stolas Sings" his second . a lot of the actual episodes have their own songs
I'm glad that someone who knows music is just as blown away as I am by this performance. Coupled with the knowledge of the show and story, this song hits very hard. A true masterpiece in my completely uneducated opinion.
This is where it began...😂 I've followed you ever since and you've become one of my favs ❤
Such kind words and appreciation for Bryce! I appreciate that, subscribing for that, and yes! You should definitely watch more of the show, and yes, Bryce does sing a time or two in it. ;) Even beyond that though, it's a great show, and it's right here on youtube! What have you got to lose?! :D
he sings two other songs in the show, 1st season is Stolas's Lullaby, and season 2 ep 1 he sings there as well, but all music in this show is amazing .
Honestly my favorite love song, don't know another that makes me feel like this one does
My favorite show ever! Amazing talent, animation and wonderful songs!... I will never stop recommending this show to EVERYONE!!
Bryce Pinkham is a broadway actor who, yes, sings a lot in the show! There is "You'll be Okay" and "Stolas Sings" you might wanna check out!
I think my favorite belting that he does is called: Sibella by Bryce Pinkham. His final notes are sooo beautiful
You need to see the series!! And all the songs!
Good reactor😂 his observations are actually interesting, and he doesn't pause every 20 seconds so he really gets to see the emotion of the song
Yes, every episode tends to have a song. Some better than others, obviously. And that character sings a lot.
Whole show is a musical. And yes. All his songs are bangers.
Yup that's Bryce Pinkham and he was a performer on Broadway. He sings several times in the show so far.
Amazing voice, amazing character, and amazing show. I binged the whole series in one day.
