The little gossip clique was the spouses...Layne, Geoff, and Eli's wives, and Earl's partner. The sandwich delivery guy was Rek, the friend that passed away recently that they dedicated the Halo theme to. :)
I love this medley. The transitions are just incredible & even though they play up their lack of dance skill they're actually brilliant. The One Direction 'dance' is literally what 1D do in the video. The costume changes are also on fire. That's Earl's husband making the wallet comment to Eli,Geoff & Layne's wives. Also the guy who delivers the sandwich is Rek R.I.P who Halo was dedicated to.
If you watch the actual videos by the original artists (or a televised performance of Jackson 5/ Temptations), they're actually re-creating the videos - moves and even clothing/styles.
Some background. In Nov-2018, VoicePlay hit a Patreon milestone. The reward for that particular milestone was that the patrons got to choose the song the guys would do. That resulting list was narrowed down to a poll consisting of 3 choices. This was the winning Patron choice. And in typical VoicePlay fashion, they went ALL OUT, including enlisting choreographer Kristin Denehy (whom they had worked with on The Sing Off) for those sweet boy band moves. I feel this is just such a labor of love for their patrons (and evidenced by the fact it took 6 months for it to come to fruition), and I adore it.
Thank you for identifying the songs and group. I keep meaning to send this to one of the kids I mentored through Denver Kids-she was and is a huge Backstreet Boys fan, so she’ll either love this or hate it. LOL. “Love you so bad.” That’s literally the worst lyric to a love song I’ve ever heard!! The “you should see the size of his wallet” people are the wives and husband of Voiceplay members. And the guy who brings them a sandwich during Thank You is Rek-the fallen comrade that they memorialized in Halo Theme. 😔 You can kind of tell how far back a song goes by the length of Geoff’s hair, as well as, obviously, who’s in the group. Moana (just starting to get longer) was 2017, this was 2019. Great reaction, Mortius! And congrats on reaching a new milestone! I can’t do Patreon just now-GIMONGOUS vet bills, past and upcoming, have me on a super tight budget-even with pet insurance I have to have the money available to pay up front, and with my deductible and coinsurance, I’m still out thousands of dollars. Anyway, what I CAN do is subscribe, like and comment to help with the algorithm.
I know you've seen Halo and I'm sure you watched the end of it. You will see Rek Dunn in this one - he comes by the guys standing at a trash can when Rek passes by and gives Earl a sub sandwich.
As someone who grew up with a father that was a diehard Beatles and Frankie Valli fan, I grew up listening to this music. I was also very much a 90s boy band fan so I loved this video so much. The transitions are epic and I love how they changed characters essentially with each song change. I love how for a good minute you kind of just zoned out and just vibed with the music. The four people off to the side, the ones that were gossiping, were the members of Voice Play's significant others. The man who gave Earl the sandwich was a former founding member of Voice Play. He passed away recently and the Halo music video was dedicated to him. Great reaction!
At first I didn’t even realize you were cutting off a word and I was like “what are you talking about? I love the beat, I was dancing along the whole time!” 🙈
I picked up a new reactor who loves VoicePlay. He made a comment about Geoff - all you have to do is tip him a little to the side and you can use him as your bass fiddle which was a great visual.
I will admit that I was reluctant to listen to this in the beginning. I had to listen to 90s boy bands while my son was growing up. But I have to admit that I absolutely love this video. When I am in a bad mood I’ll try and watch this and it just cheers me up immediately. I love that they go back to some of the original boy bands that I listened to in my teen-hood. And even though I’m old, and didn’t know who sang Fake Love I did recognize it. There’s only one song I didn’t recognize: and that was Candy Girl. All the others I could probably sing along with, although I couldn’t identify which band was which because they all kind of blurred together except for Boyz II Men.
Thank you, this is one of my favourites, along with Queen in 5 minutes! Amazing voices, obviously, love the transitions and the dancing is hilariously good!
I’m not a big fan of the ‘90s boy bands, but the caught me out here. I was a bit indignant to see Jackson 5, Beatles & Temptations included as I’ve never seen them as ‘boy band’. And then I thought about the fangirling around them and realized that yes they really should be included. Teach me not to compartmentalize
I was shocked at first that this was considered a reaction still! This is one of my all-time favorite VP songs! I don’t know a few of the original songs either but the arrangement is so good and the video is amazing, how can you not love it?!?
Oh I loved this! I loved this so much! This video of VP is such a pick-me-up when I feel down and having you react to it actually made me flap my arms in a giggling, joyous mess. You are one of the few people that manage to keep an "entertaining" (for lack of a better word) spirit even when not knowing the songs. Also thank you, finally someone who appre ciates J Nones "Costume change" in the middle because HOTDAMN
Aww Mason left out a letter in the caption for Backstreet Boys 😧 and yet somehow I didn’t notice until my 3rd time watching, and scrolling through all 95 comments at the time I’m writing this, not a one mentioned this either lmao. Mason’s first goof? But regardless, I always love your editing additions to the Mortius Mayhem :D fantastic job as always, keep it up
I can’t believe it’s been almost a year. I found you with your reaction to VoicePlay’s “My Mother Told Me”. I look forward to your reactions. I hope you are able to do more reactions. I’ll be watching. Thanks for this reaction…and I’m not a Beatles fan either.
The Holy Trinity of Acapella right now seems to be Voiceplay, Pentatonix and Home Free, in no particular order. And Voiceplay is the one known for their theatrics and their seamless transitions. Home Free is known for its vocal precison and classic Acapella feel, while Pentatonix is known for their composition and modern aesthetic. Make no mistake each group can do any of those things, but that seems to be how it shakes out. As for the 'who is that?' question during the Walk Like A Man section, those are all the significant others gossipping about their men. In this case Earl's is Nick. But at this point everyone was married except J. None. So the four people are Geoff, Eli & Lane's wives and Nick. I thought it was awesome! He's also in the beginning of the Queen in 5 mins video, crying at Earl's bedside, remember?
Fantastic reaction. Can you react to VoicePlays song. Warrior (imagine Dragons) please its amazing. Layne beatboxes while playing a violin at the same time xx
I love you bro and your reaction was spot on, I subbed to you recently and have watched many of your videos and you always make me laugh...but you made me laugh so hard in this video right around 20.12 and 20.13 because the way you giggled you sounded like Mickey Mouse and that made my son have a giggling fit that just made me smile because he's been sick for 3 days and that made him genuinely giggle and be happy despite having to stay inside....thank you for that man and God bless you 🙏
Seriously...it's fantastic to hear someone with some mettle say they don't like the Beatles. I've never liked them, and I learned to keep my mouth shut about it early on.
When I watch this and see their friend Rek in his wald through, it makes me sad. He was way too young to leave this world. Is it sad That I know who The Little Einstines are? Or am I just a good grandma/great-grandma?
I haven’t been into boy bands since I was a ‘tween. LOL. But once I talked myself into watching this I really loved it. And to be fair, I only knew about three of these songs. Others I’d heard maybe but NO idea who released them.
The reason there is so much variety in music is because not everyone has the same tastes. While I find your dislike of The Beatles and Frankie Valli questionable life choices, they are YOUR life choices and don't cause anyone any harm. Rock on.
"Dangit Mortius! How dare you not have the same musical tastes as some random people on the internet!?" :P Also I'm honestly not a huge Beatles fan either. They had good music, but I don't think they're as talented as other people seem to.
I'm almost 70. When I was 12 or so, I was listening to The Four Seasons, or The Supremes, or The Temptations. Chuck Berry. The Ventures. All good stuff. I didn't like Elvis Presley - he was my sister's crush. Then The Beatles changed everything. Nowadays, I find early Beatles a little hard to listen to, but at that point in time it was AMAZING. And part of it was the fact that all four of them took center stage. Most groups at that time had a single "star" and the rest were supporting characters. True, John and Paul were the primary lead singers, and it was the subject of much conversation if George or Ringo sang, but George was amazingly talented and inventive with instruments, Paul and John wrote some really good music (it got better) and Ringo ... well, in some weird way he was just adorable. Perhaps you had to live through it to see how very much they changed the entire landscape of popular music, plus opening the door to everything that followed.
@@barbarabishop9362 Oh, I wasn't saying they weren't good, I just think the hype over them was too much. Admittedly though, you're right, they weren't just being hyped for themselves, it was one of the first "cross the pond" type stars. They were more than nationally famous. At the time that was rare to non-existent.
Just heard a fabulous new song by a new artist to me. It sounds like an Irish Folk song. May it be by Violet Orlandi. OMG she is incredible. She has Melinda doing harmonies and I guarantee this song will give you goosebumps
Don't worry about not liking the Beatles. My mother doesn't like them either, and she grew up in that era. Her hometown has a whole Beatles Festival, with murals and statues and a museum, all because the group once stopped briefly in the town on their way to a concert. That's it, a pit stop. For a small town, that was the biggest excitement of the century. My mom hated how crazy everyone was for a group she felt were "mediocre at best" LOL!
I also knew very few... The firat couple i knew because my parents loved them. And the others i vaguely recognized from background music in malls. I wasnt a boy band fan. I saved up all my fangirling for Geoff and Voiceplay. Lol
Even *I* know that particular Beatles song, and I don't know boy bands *or* sixties music. In fact, I think that's the only Beatles song I know, but it's just so frequently covered. Also I think everyone who was alive and not Amish at the time, was exposed to The Right Stuff at some point, though it was long enough ago (and the group that sang it sufficiently mediocre) that I can readily imagine someone not remembering it; I remember it mainly because of Weird Al's take on it, which is hilarious but unfortunately not as well known as the original.
I guess I understand why you might not like the Beatles, since they were before your time. (A friend of my husband came into work laughing one day. His teenage daughter had come to him with a starling revelation: “Dad, did you know that Paul McCartney was in another band before Wings?” But I can make a suggestion. In the year 2000 there was a large poll done for people to choose the top 100 albums of the last century. The Beatles Revolver album wasn’t on it. But there was another poll of just musicians, and Revolver was in the top 10. It has all of my favorite songs of theirs on it. You might want to give it a try. My top favorites are For No One and Here, There and Everywhere. And VoicePlay has done Eleanor Rigby which was also on that album. One other note: if you liked the clothes in this video, VoicePlay is currently getting rid of some of them for charity. But you have to be a member of their Patreon to be involved.
Eh, I've always thought The Beatles were overrated. :/ I've had a lot of people tell me stuff like "Well, without the Beatles you wouldn't even have [insert random contemporary musician here]" and to that I've got two standards answers: 1) You don't actually know that for sure, you're just making a baseless assertion, and 2) Even if that baseless assertion is true, there's a reason why people these days listen to [insert contemporary musician here] or even [insert classical musician here] instead of The Beatles; every generation of contemporary musicians have taken what The Beatles did and improved upon it, and The Beatles are just way too mediocre to have the staying power of Beethoven, Bach, Tchaikovsky or anyone else from that crowd... To be frank, The Beatles don't even have the staying power of Queen.
See. I am a huge boy band fan but not a fan of Voiceplay. Usually their arrangements aren’t my thing and they play too much into characters for me. But this is my one exception for them. Their voices work so well with each individual song and the dancing is classic.
I wouldn’t say ‘little’ girls swooned. They were at least mid to late teens usually. However, you are correct that women swooning and screaming whenever they appeared does probably count for considering them a boy band. Something I really had to reconsider after this video
Good question! I truly wish I had a satisfying answer but the reality is that I just don’t really enjoy the music. I’ve listened to most of their songs at different times throughout my life, and none of them really grab me. I wish I knew why!
I'm with you on NOT liking the Beatles. They have a few songs I can get in to but, on the whole, not a fan. Growing up listening to country music, most of these "Boy Bands" are unknown to me as well. I know the songs but not the bands.
Oh. Dear. What? How can you like music and not like the Beatles? They are so diverse that surely you could find something they’ve done in their vast catalog that would be appealing to you. Your loss. I was upset that in reacting to VoicePlay’s Drunken Sailor you tried so hard to analyze it that you missed the point of the fun. You let their ability to offer you perfection on 2 fronts at once overwhelm you, so that in the end you chose to be overwhelmed rather than enjoy the video.. Too bad. And as much as everyone is entitled to their own opinions and tastes in music, to flat out say you “ don’t like” the Beatles, is beyond my personal comprehension. Maybe you’re not the Reactor for me. Maybe I subscribed too soon.
If one opinion about one artist is enough to detract from the art and hard work of a creator, then I would have to agree with you about me not being the reactor for you. I will never shy away from sharing my honest thoughts and opinions, about anything and everything. I truly hope you learn to be more open to opinions, even those you can’t understand, on the next channel you visit 💕
Blocking. I think the word you were looking for is "the blocking"
BLOCKING
YES
THANK YOU
@@officialmortius No problem. Theater kid til I die! Haha. Love the videos!
The “size of his wallet” scene is Earl’s husband talking to Geoff’s, Layne’s, and Eli’s wives 😂😂
I was going to jump on and say the same thing, but you beat me to it....
Good job man, I was gonna say it myself as well lol

If you didn't catch it , the Walk Like a Man routine was from Single Ladies. HIlarious.
Not only are they wearing costumes similar to the bands but they are also imitating a lot of their moves as well.
“Who’s that?” That’s Earl’s SO. He was in Queen in 5 Minutes too.
I think Mortius was talking about the person that said 'you should see the size of his wallet' that was Earls husband!
@@craftymissfit6007 Yes, his Significant Other.

I picked up a new reactor who loves VoicePlay. He made a comment about Geoff - all you have to do is tip him a little to the side and you can use him as your bass fiddle which was a great visual.
The behind-the-scenes of this video were definitely very funny. César really stands out when he has to dance, he is very good at it!! I loved! ❤
That rhythmic thing is called half time. You feel a tempo change, when in reality is the same tempo, the snare hits once per measure instead of twice.
Came here to say this. lol
It's okay Mortius, you're allowed to have bad opinions

That's hilarious, and I can't disagree! 😁🤭

I think this is my favorite video from voiceplay, legendary
Thank you for the video!
(and for making me re-listen NSP songs 😂)
I had a blast watching your reaction to these songs. You always make my day.
The Holy Trinity of Acapella right now seems to be Voiceplay, Pentatonix and Home Free, in no particular order. And Voiceplay is the one known for their theatrics and their seamless transitions. Home Free is known for its vocal precison and classic Acapella feel, while Pentatonix is known for their composition and modern aesthetic.

a blast to the past! (oh, to be young again...)
When I watch this and see their friend Rek in his wald through, it makes me sad. He was way too young to leave this world. Is it sad That I know who The Little Einstines are? Or am I just a good grandma/great-grandma?
I knew almost none of these songs, but it's still an engaging video.❤❤
I'm never expecting a casual NSP reference and always enjoy it when they happen 😂
Have you ever listened to NSPs I don't know what we're talking about? That is one of my favorite songs of theirs because I can relate
If you didn't notice Geoff did also a transformation at 15:02
I'm British and I don't like the Beatles either...but I like Voiceplay singing The Beatles...lol
I haven’t been into boy bands since I was a ‘tween. LOL. But once I talked myself into watching this I really loved it. And to be fair, I only knew about three of these songs. Others I’d heard maybe but NO idea who released them.

Fun fact at 19:50 / the song at that time Geoff sings a D1 sub harmonic
I am not a huge Beatles fan, either. I was into N'Sync though. I think Geoff looked kinda goofy dancing to that stuff. Loved your reaction.
omg, FINALLY!!! someone else who feels the same way about the beetles as i do!!
Some of these groups I would not consider "boy bands". For example, the Temptations are Mo-Town.
Thanks!
i am just amazed at that tie, how did you so it
I didn't know most of them, either, so no worries ;)

so sandy claws next?
Off topic but what type of knot is that in your tie?
It is called an Eldridge knot, and it is my favorite tie knot!
I was also wondering, thanks for asking. I love intricate tie knots.
@@officialmortius one of the few fancy tie knots that I could actually name as well as have tied/worn myself :D
Im intrigued, what is it you dont like about the beetles?
“Placement?”
Some of these are more bands with men/boys and not what is considered boy bands in the modern sense.
hearing a ninja sex party clip in here truly delighted me

Seeing what you knew and didn't know and sort of know made me wonder how old you are...?
I love the fact that you know song lyrics because your girlfriend/wife were into them. 🥰
who was that? The guy was Earle's husband. THe women were Geoff's, Eli's and Layne's wives.
Even *I* know that particular Beatles song, and I don't know boy bands *or* sixties music. In fact, I think that's the only Beatles song I know, but it's just so frequently covered.

I guess I understand why you might not like the Beatles, since they were before your time. (A friend of my husband came into work laughing one day. His teenage daughter had come to him with a starling revelation: “Dad, did you know that Paul McCartney was in another band before Wings?” But I can make a suggestion. In the year 2000 there was a large poll done for people to choose the top 100 albums of the last century. The Beatles Revolver album wasn’t on it. But there was another poll of just musicians, and Revolver was in the top 10. It has all of my favorite songs of theirs on it. You might want to give it a try. My top favorites are For No One and Here, There and Everywhere. And VoicePlay has done Eleanor Rigby which was also on that album.
One other note: if you liked the clothes in this video, VoicePlay is currently getting rid of some of them for charity. But you have to be a member of their Patreon to be involved.
Eh, I've always thought The Beatles were overrated. :/ I've had a lot of people tell me stuff like "Well, without the Beatles you wouldn't even have [insert random contemporary musician here]" and to that I've got two standards answers: 1) You don't actually know that for sure, you're just making a baseless assertion, and 2) Even if that baseless assertion is true, there's a reason why people these days listen to [insert contemporary musician here] or even [insert classical musician here] instead of The Beatles; every generation of contemporary musicians have taken what The Beatles did and improved upon it, and The Beatles are just way too mediocre to have the staying power of Beethoven, Bach, Tchaikovsky or anyone else from that crowd... To be frank, The Beatles don't even have the staying power of Queen.
I have to agree, I don’t quite like the Beatles, I enjoy their songs but it would not be something I would go out to listen to
See. I am a huge boy band fan but not a fan of Voiceplay. Usually their arrangements aren’t my thing and they play too much into characters for me. But this is my one exception for them. Their voices work so well with each individual song and the dancing is classic.
honestly, i dont care for boybands or the beatles either
I just heard a new song by Freddie Mercury - a solo called "Time Waits for No One". Can you do a reaction to this one?
How is the Beatles a boy band?
Umm they were boys and started off very bubblegum pop and little girls swooned.
I wouldn’t say ‘little’ girls swooned. They were at least mid to late teens usually. However, you are correct that women swooning and screaming whenever they appeared does probably count for considering them a boy band. Something I really had to reconsider after this video
Mort. Go watch all the full originals now. I'll wait. And then I'll watch your full reaction to this same video. 🤪😏😉
OK ok I respect your preferences since music is personal preference I'm just curious why your not a fan of the Beatles
Good question! I truly wish I had a satisfying answer but the reality is that I just don’t really enjoy the music. I’ve listened to most of their songs at different times throughout my life, and none of them really grab me. I wish I knew why!
@@officialmortius all good just wanted to see if you had one but thank you for answering back
I'm with you on NOT liking the Beatles. They have a few songs I can get in to but, on the whole, not a fan. Growing up listening to country music, most of these "Boy Bands" are unknown to me as well. I know the songs but not the bands.
I'm not yelling, I'm not crucifying.....but I AM JUDGING YOU SO HARD
this video makes me remember that Earl and JNone used to be part of voiceplay. Still waiting for the JNone replacement...
Cool. I finally found the other person in the world that doesn't like the Beatles! ;-P
Hey!……….I don’t like the beetles either.😁
You don't like the Beatles? YOU ARE NOT HUMAN!!!
Or, maybe because I have my own unique experiences that have led to my preferences, that MAKES me human 🤔
@@officialmortius I was being facetious.
@@officialmortius Or should I say, I was kidding.
I don't like The Beatles either Mortius.
YOU DON'T LIKE THE BEATLES? *GGGGAAAAASSSSSPPPPPP*
Meh, that's fine. They're not in my top 100 either. :)
Oh. Dear. What? How can you like music and not like the Beatles? They are so diverse that surely you could find something they’ve done in their vast catalog that would be appealing to you. Your loss.
I was upset that in reacting to VoicePlay’s Drunken Sailor you tried so hard to analyze it that you missed the point of the fun. You let their ability to offer you perfection on 2 fronts at once overwhelm you, so that in the end you chose to be overwhelmed rather than enjoy the video.. Too bad.
And as much as everyone is entitled to their own opinions and tastes in music, to flat out say you “ don’t like” the Beatles, is beyond my personal comprehension.
Maybe you’re not the Reactor for me. Maybe I subscribed too soon.
If one opinion about one artist is enough to detract from the art and hard work of a creator, then I would have to agree with you about me not being the reactor for you. I will never shy away from sharing my honest thoughts and opinions, about anything and everything.
I truly hope you learn to be more open to opinions, even those you can’t understand, on the next channel you visit 💕
