    Amazing debut video for Cesar De La Rosa! And how about Ashley too, she really killed it in this one. Also, do let us know what you thought about the comparison I made between this song and Pentatonix's "Royals" 🧐🤣

    Thank you, you are the first reactors I have watched that have actually known where the original was from. "Fiddler on the roof", when I was young my brother played Tobal in his H.S. drama class performance of "Fiddler on the Roof".

    The backing melody at 6:38 mostly reminds me of Arabian nights from Aladdin.

    • @tatewakinew
      @tatewakinew Před 3 lety +3

      Fun fact: both composer and first performer of Arabian Nights were Jewish.

    • @ZhenYaoYin
      @ZhenYaoYin  Před 3 lety +2

      It does have that Middle-Eastern sound that Aladdin had… I almost wanted to say that the stories took place in the same region but Fiddler was based in Russia 😆

    This one definitely had Geoff double-tracked on the bass line. I think that’s the case for most of their recorded music. Eli really only handles the bass line in live performances if Geoff is leading.

    • @ZhenYaoYin
      @ZhenYaoYin  Před 3 lety

      Aww I didn’t want to assume that it was just a case of Eli lip syncing to the bass, but looks like this might be one of those times 🤪

    When Layne did that series of minis recently with computer and synthesizer sounds I wondered how long it would be before some of those sounds worked their way into his arrangements.... and here they are. Listen again to that very first note before Geoff begins to sing... and there are bits and pieces scattered all through this. Just LOVE it.

    • @ZhenYaoYin

    You should react to I knew you were trouble/as long as you love me mashup from them! They did it a long time ago but it’s really good. I love it because Layne has a bigger part in it than usual!😁

    Go back to where VoicePlay was on the Sing-Off tour back in 2014. Get the Road Trip with 9.2 million views and listen for Layne. Royals shows up here. I'll be waiting for your reaction. Also on the Sing-Off competition Honey (from Just Sing) takes the lead in "Play That Funky Music" and the guys get wrapped around her fingers.

    That (Jewish music?) style is called Klezmer, and it’s the genre that all of the Fiddler of the Roof was composed in, as well as many other Jewish English and Yiddish language films of the era. Cool stuff, if you ever get a chance to listen to it.

    Just a quick correction: While Topol played Tevye in the movie, Zero Mostel originated the role on Broadway. Here's his performance of the song on the 19th annual TONY Awards: czcams.com/video/nbJEpcteKg4/video.html

      @@ZhenYaoYin Eli does have bass range though, he can take around C2-E2. Check for example Marcello Bass’s compilation of Eli’s range, where Eli does those notes live. I guess that if they use Eli as tenor or baritone, they double track Geoff as bass, but if Eli doesn’t sing another part I think he takes the bass line (probably doesn't happen often in studio though, they will be wanting that baritone or tenor harmony). Edit: I just realized that watching that video from Marcello Bass would mean some spoilers for you if you'd want to react to some of the included videos eventually. Here's a link to a song that has no video though, so I guess you won't react to it? It is a medley called "Diamond in the rough" from their album "Once Upon Ever After". According to Marcello's video, Eli hits a F2 in chest in "Prince Ali" here: czcams.com/video/RZ2j4WEEHrk/video.html .
