MUSIC COACH REACTS: Valhalla Calling - VoicePlay ft J.NONE 

The songwriter gave Voiceplay a ten out of ten raised alehorns for their version. I call that high praise.

It’ll be really hard to find a VoicePlay cover you won’t like, I think! They are consistently awesome, masters at their craft!

You haven't seen Geoff's solo stuff yet, have you? Yet another glorious rabbithole !

This is definitely one of their most popular songs for a reason! And adding the rap was pure genius, it just elevated it in such a cool way. Can't wait for more VP! I'm still just gonna keep suggesting the medleys dude, Queen, Boy Bands, Disney, all of em are amazing

This one had me ready to march off to war!! It gets me so pumped! It's top 5 VoicePlay for me. If you haven't watched "7 Nation Army" yet, I'd recommend that one for sure. It's a banger! Also, if you want a more Southern gospel feel with this group, check out "Daddy Sang Bass." It's an older one from when Earl was still with the group but it definitely has that feel to it. ❤

Loved your reaction- thanks! I think you would really enjoy "Hoist The Colours".

You know you are doing something right when the orginal composer, Miracle of Sound, posts a comment on your cover: "Well done, lads. Definitely one of the more creative covers I've heard! I rate it ten raised alehorns out of ten" You haven't really reacted to one of their more soulful covers yet. I recommend either Creep by Radiohead or I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raite.

They have sooo many flavors 😅❤

I really do not think it will disappoint, but the start of them being "theater kids of accapella" Phantom of the Opera. Lineup is very different as many, many years old by now.

Yes, the VoicePlay twist on things is always a treat. Watch for their dub step influences that are a little gem they put into some of their arrangements.

Unlocking new flavors.... perfect description for this one!! I was just looking through the entire catalogue of their work. There is nothing I don't like. Uh Oh, double negative. Oh well, nothing makes me go "meh". There are many that I don't go back and listen to over and over. Not because they aren't wonderful, but because they don't grab me. And, no, I won't give you an example. Find one yourself, and make it funky!

The infamous Geoff B0

if you want to see them in something challenging but fun,,, try :in the hall of the mountain king:

With VoicePlay, they are noted (pun intended) for using a dominate 7th chord with Mixolydian riffing under it over where it was supposed to be minor. It just gives it a lot of oomph and modal ambiguity for a measure or so.... that way, you really cannot tell exactly where it's going to resolve.

Watching your reactions certainly brightens my day. As others I'm sure have mentioned, you may be hard pressed to find a song you won't be impressed with. Geoff has his own channel doing low bass covers. You might want to take a listen to some of his solo stuff as well.

Your face is your best reaction. As every one of us, we can see you've really enjoyed this one !

Thank you for another great reaction!!!

I look forward to following you on your quest to finding a song you aren't that impressed with... and I have 0 intention of helping you with that. 😂

Faana: I listened to the original. I'm ready. I feel like I know what VP is going to do. Me: 👀 ......you're not ready Excellent reaction as always, sir. VP, really Geoff, will sometimes add a bridge with new lyrics to a song if they feel like they want to add some run time or interest....or ya know....sometimes they'll add a full rap section. 😆

Ah, my very favorite! Voiceplay played a little trick on their fans with this video. See, during Covid, a lot of artists, especially Home Free, were doing videos where they appeared to be together, but weren't, they were all in different places and filmed and edited seamlessly together. Voiceplay did that in their cover of "Enemy," where they were performing "with" a lovely, talented young lady named Alexa. She was actually in Japan, and they green screened her in to make it look like they were together. And this came out not terribly long after J. None. left for the Naval Choir. At the beginning of this, J. None is on his own, so everybody assumed he was filming his part separately, and edited in. But THEN, he approached the door and with a squeaky door sound effect (done by Layne), and walks in and joins the group! The comments were pretty funny, many people saying "I thought J. None was elsewhere!" It was a real "Gotcha!" moment.

Check out their version of Creep

Fyi - the original is actually not the Peyton Parrish one - there's one that's purely by Miracle of Sound. That is the one i listened to.

ok i think you should try the voiceplay loop it will show you some behind the scene how they do it

Great Reaction

Try Hoist the Colours, but do it as a double reaction with Drunken Sailor. Hoist the Colours is so emotionally intense that you need the joyous comedy of Drunken Sailor, and make sure you watch Drunken Sailort o the end.

I challenge you to listen to Can't Make You Love Me by Voiceplay! It made me tear up, so emotional. Might be the change in persepective on them that you might find interesting.

For a more emotional/soulful song, try I Can't Make You Love me, or Creep! Probably won't help you with your goal, though, as those are equally amazing 😉

As always, this was so fun. There are songs that I am less fond of but I doubt that you’ll find one they are bad at…

Here's one of their older ones you may not like as well. Try their cover of Once Upon a Dream. It's pretty short, but does need to be listened to straight through. Breaking it up spoils what integrity it has, so if you want to try it, do give it that grace.

OK, I don’t think you’ll dislike this one, but how about trying “in The Hall of the Mountain King?” It’s VERY VERY different from this. Have fun!! Great reaction-and I’m sure someone’s already mentioned it but Gavin Dunne (@miracleofsound) gave this ten out of ten alehorns, even tho this is entirely different from his original conception. Oh, and if you want to encounter truly rabid, he’s the greatest singer ever to open his mouth, kind of fans, check out Dimash. Put on your asbestos underwear, though, if you intend to say anything that even sounds critical. The “dears” (his fans) will wash your mouth out. LOL.

Now we need Geoff's solo wicked games... you should also check out Dan vasc doing my heart will go on (the guitarist is INSANE) or amazing grace

Just letting you know... Geoff Castellucci premiered his new video "Unshaken" today at noon est. He brought back the 4 ghost riders from "Ghost Riders In the Sky" when they were alive. It is beautiful and epic.

Waiting for many more VP reactions on your search for the "meh"-one... they ARE wizards of musical arrangements and truly ingenious in making songs their own. Go for it! I really don't think you will find a bad one... 😂🎉❤ superfine reaction btw. Love it when a reactor goes for the original first... 😊

Geoff has 3 B0s, the first really extended 14 sec. while J was singing the intro. Miracle of Sound thought VoicePlay's version was the best cover anyone has done. Love Layne's creaking door. We're Good was the song Geoff and Ron Dietz collaborated to introduce Cesar. Hoist the Colours (Pirates of the Caribbean), I Can't Make You Love Me (Bonnie Raitt), Queen in 5 Minutes, Live from the Sing-off Tour: VoicePlay doing their Road Trip (do get the one that is 9 Mil plus.

Geoffs sustained B0 at the beginning. I heard Geoff did a bit of light trauma the night before and recorded the next morning.

I look forward to following you on your journey.😂

Have you looked at the song information, in the description box under each video, yet? It will tell you who did the arrangement (usually Geoff or Layne), who did the lighting (usually Eli), etc.

Subscribed. I dare you. Watch "Road Trip", "The Chicken Song", or "Hall of the Mountain King" and keep a straight face🤣

Waiting for reaction to Oogie boogie song

You want to feel the rattle check out Geoff castelluchi deep bass cover of, I see fire, from the Hobbit enjoy and yes there all Geoff in costume keep it in mind

Oooh need to challenge you on 'soulful' stuff! Try "I can't make you love me" (Bonnie Raitt) or "Creep" (Radiohead) from VP... but first more epic stuff 😋. I think VP will accept your challenge! 😉🌹🕊

Your reaction was amazing! Check out Dan Vasc cover of “My Heart Will Go On”

Have you checked out any of Geoff's solo work ?

They sound awesome in jazz as well try tennessee whizkey

With very few exceptions I always prefer VoicePlay (and Geoff) to the original. The two I have slight quibbles with are purely personal love of the original. I rarely feel that strongly about a style but there it is. And even with those I admire the skill.

O MG check out The Bass Gang too.

Try their version of Tennessee Whiskey for something different.

I think you’ll have a difficult time finding a song you don’t particularly like of VP’s. They have been involving so much since their inception back in the 1990’s. Welcome to the fold. 😊

Sooo...no Nightwish on your channel? Something went wrong here ;-) The most versatile singer in the world and maybe even the best and then we have Tuomas (the Metal-Mozart) creating that music. Ghost Love Score (Live at Wacken Open Air) would be a great place to start that journey. It is the most reacted to song on YT for a good reason.

Good luck finding a "Eh" Voiceplay song. There are a couple I don't like AS much, but none I actively don't like.

I like all of their song except Creep. They did a good job, I just find the song horrible.😂

Why listen to this if you can hear the author of the song himself and perform it the way it should sound?
