Just gotta say, if these new headphone made Geoff's bass make you brain vibrate, BEWARE when you hear Total Eclipse of the Heart. Your brain will turn to mush!
Yessss! Finally the Mortius take on this song! I watch a VoicePlay cover and then I just think, “ooooh, how’s Mortius going to react to this?” It’s just like clockwork in my brain. I cannot WAIT to see your take on the release from the other day, so much Cesar in that… would be a treat to have him back on for that reaction, though you’re all so busy that’s easier dreamed up than done, I’m sure.
Mortius, I think VP's arrangement of I Can't Make You Love Me -- which is exquisite -- is also under-appreciated. And the MV with all the singers in separate rooms just underscores the loneliness in the lyrics. Oh, and they sing their hearts out ....
Great reaction! This piece is intricately woven, a real stunner but not flashy. You figured that out pretty quickly. I’d keep the black headphones, they frame your face better and make your pink shirt and glasses really pop.
I feel SO validated by your "this is so good and might be so underrated"-talk at the end. Really think it is exceptional and been coming back to it for weeks, and also sort of wondered why I love it so much as it feels quite "basic" 😆
This is definitely one of my favorite VoicePlay arrangements. Deejay is SUCH a good person to choose for a Michael Jackson cover, and Geoff did an excellent job arranging to everyone's strengths (and giving us more Layne vocals!!).
I love the fact that it feels more intimate because they slowed it down. I like the stripped down jazzy, bluesy, sultry, sexy sound of it. (And they all look the part!😊) I really appreciate that even though DeeJay‘s voice could easily be mistaken for Michael Jackson’s, they did not slavishly copy the song. They rearranged it to feature his voice but make it their own. Those delicious harmonies! ❤ I love Geoff’s bassline, Eli’s gorgeous clear tones and the fact that we got to hear Layne sing with Cesar (One of my favorite parts. ) DeeJay gets a couple of chances to riff for a while. It reminds me of the Motown sounds that I grew up with. This is definitely my new favorite.
Thinking about what you mentioned in the intro and I think, it's the first time at all, that your reaction to a Voiceplay song is released publicly AFTER the release of the next Voiceplay song 😅 But never mind, I like and watch your reactions whenever they are released and to whatever VP/Geoff song they are. 🥰 Concerning the headphones - I see you already rewatching a ton of older videos just for checking the new sound (I would do it, tbh) 😆🎧
I'm loving Open Arms, so it's no problem that you needed time to set that up. So glad to have you coming back to acapella. I'm always soooo excited to see your reactions and analysis. I wholeheartedly agree, in terms of arrangements, this as "I Can't Help Calling in Love With You" are my faves. Some days I want the fun songs as I work out or wash dishes, some days I want to sit, close my eyes, sip some wine, and soak in some really superb vocals. They bring BOTH to the table.
This cover is absolutely beautiful, and the harmonies are magnificent. You really need to not only check out VP's Total Eclipse, but also you need to check out Geoff's cover of Imagine. OMG Mortius, you will melt. As always , love your reactions.
Geoff seems to be making this into a jazz-type arrangement, which was kind of a surprise given the original music, but he makes it all work wonderfully!
I love your reactions Mortius, because you're physically doing everything I'm doing mentally! This one is SO good, so great too have Deejay back. But, oh, I cannot *_WAIT_* until you see the one they just dropped...Top Ten, totally! I honest to Goddess think you'll get misty-eyed, at the very least! Oh hey, what's the name of the headphones again? I like Senheisser, but am always on the lookout (listenout?) for good ones!💙
I simply love this one by VoicePlay with DJ Young. The harmonies are epic and I love how they combine their voices. I am sure glad you are back to acapella as I love your reactions to this. I actually l would love if you ditched the pink shirt and your vest and just wear your regular clothes as I have seen you in a few of them and you have great taste
Mortius, have you ever reacted to Kings Return? They are an awesome 4-man a cappella group from Dallas. Singing R&B, pop, jazz, gospel, and choral standards. I saw them in concert and they slayed!
I have been looking forward to your reaction to this one since it dropped, and you did NOT disappoint! It's absolutely gorgeous in so many different ways, and I'm glad that transition from Geoff's sustained low(ish) note into the buildup struck you the same way it did for me! Looking forward to more fun things from you soon now that some of the crazy has settled down a little!
I miss you reacting to VoicePlay - and Geoff. You better prepare all your senses to hear Geoff singing Imagine. Serious. I love DeeJay's appearances and how he seduces us through the camera.❤❤❤❤❤
I havdnt been this impressed with a vp song since nothing else matters. Not to say all the other stuff theyve put out isnt fantastic, but this one just feels extra special for some reason 😂💜
Great reaction to an awesome arrangement. But I have to admit, I think the captions on your video stole the show. "Geoff noises" "Mortius noises" Perfect descriptions. Lol.
hey you should react to there new song that posted yesterdayis called “the total eclipse of the heart” they did a cover of it and is was beautiful.🥰 and by the way they got some high note and some harmony parts in there too so…be aware…ok.but away I think you should do a reaction to there new song is really cool 🙂
I started reacting with My Mother Told Me, Bang was just a few months before that, which means I’ve already seen it off camera since it was before I knew reactions would become my life
