Truly an excellent analysis (and solid demonstrations as well)! It's so nice to see a fellow creator that really has a lot to say about the music and the vocal technique(s) -- brava!
Oh thank you Peter! So much kindness in your comment. I’m a fan of how you break elements down in your reactions too! Keep on talking about all things music 😁
@@JenniferGlatzhofer MY CIRCLES ARE OVERLAPPING!
You are so cool Peter.
@@JenniferGlatzhofer: react to: The Driver by Home Free ( original by Charles Kelly) Enemy by Voiceplay ( original by Imagine Dragon) I want you Jennifer Glazhofer to explain more deeply in musically.
@@JenniferGlatzhofer Jennifer, please please do a reaction video of Voice Plays cover of The Hall Of The Mountain King. It looks very scary & you know how Voice Play does scary. You are the most fun to watch & the best reactor.
Just found out recently that Cesar did the high note we heard and his best friend is Omar. G#5. Cesar noted that during an online discussion when he was asked about it. And to top it off, it appears Eli toured with a rock band for 2 years.
Oh wow!!! Nice 😊
This video is tied storyline wise to their previous video on Warriors by Imagine Dragons. Its supposedly a couple of years later and they lost Earl and J to the zombie apocalypse but picked up Cesar and Omar along the way and this is them remembering the struggles so far
Oh nice nice!
Thanks for the info! A couple of us were wondering if it had anything to do with Ukraine, but I realize it couldn’t, given how long ago they had to have started putting this together.
Good analogy.
It is so cool that they tie different songs, by different artists together into the same story.
Well, you did it again. I have listened/watched this many times, and your dissection has me noticing bits I hadn’t before…take as much time as you feel necessary to highlight your thoughts, VoicePlay’s arrangements are so layered, intricate, and nuanced a quickie video won’t do them justice. Thank you for what you do. Stay safe and stay well. 😷😎✌🏻🤟🏻🤙🏻🖖🏻
Ah thanks so much! So much to talk about ahah! And you 😊
I'd been waiting for your analysis! Peter Barber recently said that he could just about do hour-long videos on VoicePlay's songs, simply because the arrangements are so complicated and there's so much to talk about. I feel as though you could probably do the same, and you know what? I'd watch it, and enjoy every minute. There is always so much to hear in VoicePlay's videos, and your clarity in breaking down the vocals has helped me learn a lot. Please don't ever feel like you have to cut yourself short when analyzing these guys- we're all here for it!
Ah thank you 😁 I feel like there’s so much to talk about, always with them!
I agree. Longer reactions, Ms. Glatzhofer. Thanks in advance
Eli has the voice and power of a rock god. Omar and Cesar are both incredible. Seems like there are no weaknesses with these guys.
I believe Omar and Cesar both ascended and hit that high note, with Eli sitting just below it - much like when Rachel and Emoni when they both ascended and hit the high note on the word 'defy' in the Defying Gravity song. Always look forward to your reaction andanalysis
In a discussion online they asked Cesar who hit the high note, him or Omar. It's was Cesar. He talked with Eli as they practiced and asked if he could take the high note. And he did. This discussion happened during a CZcams reviewers take on this video. Cesar was the guest for a review of the song.
@@jimcoogan1529 Glad to know. Thanks.
@@jimcoogan1529 That was a good show.
Besides explaining how the voice works and how sounds are produced, you also give me things to smile about. Keep trying Geoff's low notes because I dream of the day that the description about your channel no longer reads " Vocal coach reacts" but reads " Jennifer Glatzhofer: low bass singer and vocal coach reacts". :)
Hahah imagine!! Thank you 😊
News flash from our Department of Redundancy Department: Another great reaction. And it's nice to see the recognition Ms. Glatzhofer gets from her fellow reactors.
I love Voiceplay and have listen to/watch their video of this song several times since it came out - I'm absolutely in love with it ❤️ I love that you both talk about all the members (some reactors have a tendensy to primarily focus on specific members) and also all the layering.
For the sound from Layne, I can recommend you check out Peter Barber's First-time reaction and analyse of this song, he makes an attempt that made me understand it better.
Thank you for the analysis!! You are one of a handful I check daily when a new VP Cover drops, can't wait to hear your breakdown of it!! And if you feel like taking more time with it, by all means, I'm sure many of us would love to hear it. Another reactor/analysis said he could easily take an hour on this song. BRING IT ON!!!
Indeed!! So much to unpack with VoicePlay!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer: about: Home Free or Penatatonix and explain why.
In a recent interview, Caesar said he did the very high harmony! Good Job! 👍
I love VoicePlay and I love your analyses! You are defenitely one of my favourite reactors! You even make me feel like taking up singing again 😀 (just for fun)! I'm looking forward to your reaction/analysis to Geoff's newest, probably coming this weekend. It's rather different from his previous ones and sooooo great! Thank you for this, I enjoyed it as always!
Aw thank you!! Why not go for it 😁 and can’t wait!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer With your talent of analogizing a song you will love Geoff's version of his latest solo Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone.
I love how you explain the ins and outs of what they are doing vocally
Thank you 😊
@@JenniferGlatzhofer you are very welcome. I would love to hear you react to Be my Eyed by Pentatonix as Kristin is lead and also Season of Love as she hits a high note that is out of this world
Thank you for another great reaction. It seems to me that Layne is making the sounds of critters scurrying around in an old abandoned run down building as critters usually do. Layne is so underrated by many people. He & Geoff hold together the group .
Once more, you provide a very in-depth and accurate analysis of a performance. I really appreciate your take on things Jennifer. Kudos! Thanks for bringing this.
Thanks so much! 😊
You probably know this already, but Omar is EJ (from Voctave)'s brother. Very talented siblings. Both have featured in Voiceplay videos.
Great analysis, as I’ve come to expect from you!
I was never a fan of this song (or any kind of hard rock), but VP has won me over to being a fan of their version.
Yay! Thank you 😁
Yes! I saw your reaction had been posted for 1 minute and jumped right on it. Love your reactions!
Someone else thought that Omar and Cesar were hitting the highest notes, basically because their body movements were so similar. I know Eli can sing it, he was either goofing off or showing off during the behind-the-scenes video. I think Cesar was doing the harmony - I could be wrong.
Thanx for your fangirl analysis, love it!!
Thank you! 😊
I agree Ilona. Cesar and Omar are really close friends and it shows in their body language and I think that’s why people think they hit it together. But Eli can hit those super high notes really easily. And I think it would be a real stretch for Cesar. Plus, at least on the stairs, he’s going more for the baritone vibe. I could be wrong but it’s just that @ Eli sound.” There’s a particular quality to his voice (not just the metal rasp but it’s true voice). I think that’s part of why people think it’s not Eli because they didn’t go for his metal scream.
Cesar confirmed it's him doing the highest notes.
i'm still waiting to see her reaction to "hoist the colours", is definitely one of their best work i heard
Super-cool arrangement. Voiceplay are maybe the greatest vocal group of all time. You killed this analysis, Jen! Thanks.
Love all your reactions! Geoff has a new one coming out soon that will blow you away 😁
Can’t wait!
Wow, that was different. Voiceplay definitely made this cover their own. And the effects they put into it, amazing! I think I still prefer PMJ's cover the best, but this unique take on the song is definitely a close second. Loved your analysis/breakdown, Jen! As usual you always make me aware of aspects I would have otherwise missed. A most excellent reaction to a most original cover of Dream On!
Love how they make it their own! Thank you 😊
I think something that is never discussed is the difference between "making it their own", and "making it their own.....while respecting the original" I'm not a fan of acapella groups period. To me, they really lack in their storytelling capabilities. You're listening to vocal gymnastics and not following the song.
Very interested how they arranged it. As dream on is well known for being BLOODY HARD to sing as it goes HIIIIIIGH
Ooohh yes!
That's why the guys got Rob Dietz to help Geoff with the arrangement for this.
@@b.buster. They actually got Rob to assist because they were away for a while doing a private corporate show, so with getting ready for that they didn't have as much time as usual to work on the arrangement.
Outstanding analysis! I always take something away from your reactions. i so enjoy these videos! Please keep up the phenomenal work!
Another fantastic analysis 👏😎 keep’em coming 👍
I love your reactions because I actually learn something and your analysis is very easy to understand, keep up the great work ❤️
Ah thanks!
As someone who can sing subharmonicly and being very young(15) how I learnt was to relax my vocal chords and add in a little vocal fry and boom it happened when it happened the first time kinda scared me a little bit but now I can easily get down to E1 and with a push and a lot failed attempt I can just about get it down to about C#1
Oh nice!! Thanks for sharing 😊
your breakdowns are amazing. keep up the good work
Such a clever and creative arrangement! And of course the voices to go with it!! I always loved this song, but it feels like I just discovered it all over again!!
I love your analysis of Voiceplay's work! So good!!!
Thank you!
This is my first and certainly not the last time I watch a reaction video from you. I mean..I'm not a specialist in music but I love seeing experienced people like you pointing out things I did notice on my own but I can't name them because I didn't study music but it's such a passion for me to understand what's going on in a song and you help me so much here. I adore you. New subscriber!!
Ah thanks so much! Happy to have you here 😊
A year plus in she still shocks on Geoff's flexes! It is a chest growl.
I believe Omar hits the G#/Ab6 and Caesar is on the F6 and Eli is the C6. That harmony is so tight its hard to hear! Insane from these guys!
I'm pretty sure its 5th octave not 6th
Cesar is on the high note
@@not_an_humin3710 yup, in the reaction/analysis by Mortius, where he had Cesar with him he confirmed that it was him on the high note.
Very nice analysis. Thank you!❤😊
Oh good. I've been waiting for your reaction to this one.
Always look forward to you’re reactions. Always so so much fun
Thank you 😊
Subharmonics which Geoff is using to reach those really low notes are rumbly and resonant in nature and its really hard to maintain a subharmonic note especially in first octaves I am still shocked how Geoff has mastered subharmonics in that level definitely a top tier bass!
Would you believe…..Geoff says he’s not a “real bass”. He says he’s a baritone with a good range.
If that’s a baritone, I’d give my right arm to hear a real bass.
Been waiting for your reaction...worth the wait :)
Thank you 😁
@@JenniferGlatzhofer I would love to see you react to Can You Feel The Love Tonight by Pentatonix if you have any free time! I feel like you'll have similar reactions haha
VoicePlay's arrangements are really SO amazing. (Most of them are done by Geoff. Don't know if he arranged this one.)
Geoff did arrange this one, and he does about half of VP's arrangements. The other half is done by Layne, the beatboxer. He arranged Oogie Boogie's Song and The Little Mermaid medley, for example. They tend to alternate. Whoever arranges also tends to direct the video, edit, costumes, etc. Occasionally someone else will arrange. Eli (bald tenor) arranged Eleanor Rigby. Eli has been into choreographing the lighting, like in Hoist the Colors and Wicked Medley.
Hi Jennifer thanks for the video. Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Thank you!! And you!
Until this dropped, Morgan James' cover was my absolute fav. Will check out your reaction to her.
When they put this together, they imagined it as coming after Warriors. Some time has passed, they've lost a couple of comrades, picked up a couple of new ones...... if you haven't, please do react to Warriors. Warriors is the one that made me an obsessive VP fan.
Yes, I just read that from someone else’s comment. So clever!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer Geoff was worried that they could pull it off & do it justice. Well they absolutely did. I think it was better than the original. You could hear every word clearly & with feeling. Everything they sing is done with so much feeling & emotion that other groups don't have.
I agree. Pease react to Warriors. It's a couple of years old and is often overlooked but it is truly one of their best. It is unbelievably good.
Hey y’all. Vote for Omar on The Voice US. Live shows start very soon. ✌🏻
I watched the video yesterday, but it's definitely not the same without your intermissions! Loved this.
Thank you!
Great analysis
Great reaction dear
It's a little hard to pick out mid song, but...Geoff goes down to an e flat 1 sub at one point. He's been killing it recently. Another fun reaction.
Madness! 😱
LOL. I really would love to see the raw video of your reactions before edits. I suspect we’re missing a lot of goodness.
I wonder if it’s easier for Geoff to keep it light with those drops if he uses subharmonics. From what little I understand about the technique, it might make a difference.
Can we talk for a sec about Eli’s acting? All of them are quite good, but with him I really do sense a deep sadness and a painful story behind it. The first couple times I watched this I actually wondered if something was wrong in real life. I love actors who can do that-convey a sense of depth and backstory without words (beyond what’s in the script).
I love your in-depth analysis of vocal technique. Can’t wait for the next!
Ahaha this is pretty much my reaction, what’s missing is if I slip up on any words and redo the sentence 😂 and yes! Eli’s acting is on point!!!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer You should do a blooper reel. LOL. I’ve just gradually noticed that Eli is one of those unusual actors who really disappears into his characters. The Eli in Hoist the Colours is a whole different guy than this Eli. There’s even some difference between similar characters, like his pirate vs. his Viking. None of these guys are slouches in the acting department, but that’s a really unique gift.
It’s all over on my Patreon 😊 and love that! Love the dedication
@@JenniferGlatzhofer I’d love to do Patreon, but right now my budget is… Multiple, huge vet bills. Thank God for pet insurance, but even just the deductibles and copays are killer. And more to come. It’s going to take awhile to catch up-if ever.
Regarding the sadness, the building they filmed in was Eli's former school in Leesburg Florida.
Wow, I got chills
Omar is going to be on The Voice! September 19th
Was that an F or a 5.6 on the Richter Scale?
That was your best Layne impression yet.
😂 getting there hahah
My favorite thing on CZcams is when you react to Voiceplay. It would be awesome to see you watch their older stuff. They have a lot and tbh it’s all really good. Especially any of them with J still on the group
Have you by chance seen any of their mini video's? I would recommend "Crazy - Patsy Cline VoicePlay Mini (acapella)"
Great reaction as always! I'd like to throw my hat in ring and recommend Tomi P. He's an a capella guy from the Czech Republic. He's got a big range but his lows will vibrate your headphones. Start with either Hellfire (from the Hunchback of Notre Dame) or his version of Sweet Dreams. He's fantastic as is your detailed analysis. Keep up the great work.
Ooh thanks for the suggestion!
Yes Tomi P is GREAT. Look at the Bass Gang and their covers of Billy Elish.. they are GREAT bass singers. Bobby and Peter and Marwan are no slouches...
I believe that Layne is using some very brass type tongue movement with the (I'm going to call it a) helicopter sound. I constantly had to get faster with tongue movement playing trumpet. My band teacher really pushed that back in high school and it's one of the things I've never forgotten. Almost a clicking of the rear and front of the tongue offset. It was super tough to learn and I love how he does it!
Check out Geoff's new solo in The Rains of Castamere. All I have to say is WOW.
They keep giving us videos, we NEED the movies...
On the last note when they sing "gone" they are all in the F key (i think) just on different octaves. Also as a bass singer though not nearly as good as Geoff. Not really close to be honest but hes so good at sliding down and up. I think at one point in a bass line he was at a F sub-harmonic and kept sliding up an octave into the next note. This was right before the three man highs toward the end.
On a crowdcast video Geoff pretty much said this is a sequel to Warriors. He said "Its several years after Warriors and somebody stole their violins and killed Earl and Jay (J None) and probably ate them. Then we found Cesar and Omar." That's why its in a apocalyptic setting (Eli's old high school).
Nice! And yes, so cool! Love that background knowledge 😁
It always amazes me to think that this masterpiece came out of the head of a nineteen year old kid. No matter how great he wound up being, it's like "Dood, at least try to make it look a little bit hard". They did a great job, and the arrangement was awesome. I know I'm late to this one. Was a little bit scared I'd be disappointed. I liked it, but somehow it's like saying grace without any food not having Tyler in there...
Hello! From what Eli said in the BTS vids, he’s doing the lower not in that super high part and Omar and Cesar are hitting the top together.
Thanks for the clear analysis and advice! I've been trying to practice higher notes since Tim mentioned it on The Charismatic Voice (I'm a low bass with a narrow range - C2 is comfortable, C4 is not). It sounds pretty painful going high and I haven't managed to stop wincing and apologising when it's particularly horrible, even when alone, but I am at least persevering...
Just saw Cesar say that high part was him.
You always make me smile when you are taken by surprise. You may want to check out Mike Masse "Africa" cover too. You are awesome. Thank you.
One hundred years from now, vocal coaches, working with bass singers, will be teaching "grumblenes." This will be one part of your musical legacy.
Really interesting to watch this one back to back with the PMJ/Morgan James version. I see from the comments that I’m not the only one who learns something from your analyses of these videos. ❤️
You really got excited about this one! I think if we all had a camera on us, we would look just like you do at 14:08. Like we can somehow help Geoff hit those low notes. 😂 I’m curious, how would you describe your reaction at 14:15 when talking about the swell? 😉
I’m just messing with you. I love how much you enjoy it. We all do as well and that’s why this works. ❤️
Ah thank you! Definitely excited ahah 😊 and I think it was my surprised giddiness at the swell, something so simple yet so effective!! Thank you ❤️
Geoff has a video if how he does his subharmonics. Its very informative
This is sdo good
Cesar reacted to this on Mortius 's channel. It was cool. Cesar said they let him hit that note.
So reactor Mortius had Cesar on as commentary when he did his reaction. And the really high notes at the end, Cesar said it was him that hit them.
I know this will seem like a "flex", but im 15 and I finally hit a B0 and I just thought that it was something worth sharing :D
For that note where Geoff just hits bottom, if I remember Peter Barber? G1 in chest into a an F1 sub.
You must react to Geoff's take on "Ain't No Sunshine" by Billy Withers
HI Jennifer, this was nice and informative as every Time. Thank you very much 😊
Since it seems that you like this one maybe you want to watch their cover of "Warriors" (If you havn´t watched it on your own 😉). It is in a similar style.
My favorite of the four you reacted to, but then I'm fond of 9th Century Top Ten Hits... This is the best version I've heard although The Hound+Fox/Adam Chance also do a creditable job of it. You really are starting to hit the low notes. I think you mentioned you go to Instagram and exercise with Peter Hollens; seems to be paying off. Speaking of Peter Hollens, as you recently demonstrated he and Tim Foust have a ton of great material out there. Four days of them would be another nice "week".
Cesar did that high note, he admitted tit
Amazing! Thanks!!
I don't understand, why the cover "Hoist The Colours" was left out? Do it, Jennifer, you won't regret it. )
More keep coming out 😂 It is on the list so I need to bump it up to the top!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer Be sure to pick it up! Your reactions are cool: both emotional and professional. I'm sure this cover will not leave you indifferent.
I second this, it still remains my favourite thing they’ve ever done.
@@charsol2389 That's exactly what it is !!
Great video and fantastic support for The Fairy Voice Mother with your visit. As I commented in your video... when is a collaboration between you two coming up? and.... have you thought about interviewing the members of Home Free? I think they would be very happy to talk to you.
Ah thank you! Would be very interesting!!! And I shall give it a think 😊
@@JenniferGlatzhofer It could be great 💪
Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays version of Enemy. It just came out.
You should listen to this....Lara Fabien - Adagio
Jennifer, really enjoy your reaction and analysis of the Magic of Voiceplay.....have you reacted to their cover of the Halo theme.....Geoff hits a B0, not once but twice...jf you haven't yet, you should really check it out, as Layne is amazing, Eli hits high, high notes, Cesar is cool. Geoff is in the 'Underworld', vocally speaking, and Scott Porter, who was a fouding member of the group, re-joins them or this song for a special tribute to one of the VoicePlay family.......>^^
I was totally blown away but the halo theme it was crazy everywhere
I believe Cesar is on the highest note, I think that's what he said anyway
Would love to see a reaction to Cakra Khan's cover of either "I'd Rather To Blind" (Etta James) or "Back to Black" (Amy Winehouse). The Back to Black cover is very different than Winehouse's rendition but, imho, superb.
Helplessly Hoping by Home Free Worth a listen and will blow your mind.
You should do an analysis on Voiceplay's Halo music video
Nice reaction! Do you have perfect pitch?
Get Geoff'd on.
Heh. "How does he do this?".
Me, matching because it's in my range: "uh because it's in his range?" It's just effortless to match if it's your range.
I can't quite get all the subharmonic levels he gets, but I'm only just starting to, and I can only do it first thing in the morning.
Please also listen to Home Free
Two Country Singers Try To Sing Opera.
You won't be disappointed.
Should check out Tennessee whiskey by voicplay and we're good by voicplay
It was Cesar and Omar that hit the higher notes, C5 and G4 were the top notes from the two of them.
Repeat as much as you like. I'd watch a 40 min video. XD
Surprisingly i can hit a geoff note 😂
Pls do more Julie and the Phantoms!!!!!! UGHHHHHHH!!!!
Is it 'el-EE'? Or is it 'EE-leye'?
Eli but pronounced like Ellie
You, m'lady, are a glutton for brain-breakers... From Home Free to Voice play, you risk your sanity to break things down. Thank you for reacting.
Ahaha thank you 😁
@@JenniferGlatzhofer between your explanations and the Charismatic Voice breakdowns, I find that I am learning so much about music.... I may never stand on stage myself, but I am gaining a deeper appreciation for those that do.
Good harmony (If they not using auto-tune und/or pitch correction?), but sorry...This ist not even worthy comparison to das original Aerosmith ROCK music composition. I would never buy this... Maybe if they gave it away for free...Maybe? But probably I would not waste petrol or my time to find it in a store. This type of American GenZ hip-hoppity ist not my thing anyway. I could believe das current American generation may like it though. Auf Wiedersehen :)
Steven Tyler wouldn't give this a second look.
Not sure what’s going on but every time I watch one of your reviews it seems as if you have s tiny skip in your player and it’s very distracting….
I love your analysis of the voices. I learned something about brightening a sound with a slight vowel change. This arrangement by VoicePlay is so interesting. I really enjoy all the harmonies and the vocal riffs in this. Thanks for your reaction
Thank you 😊
