REACTING TO GEOFF CASTTELLUCCI'S - SIXTEEN TONS (HIS BEST WORK!!!) 

This one's subtitled "Geoff Castellucci Makes Women Pregnant With Just His Voice."

He hit all those low notes in chest voice, no subharmonics. That's why you thought it sounded different.

"Well Bless my Soul!". That line caused so many peoples jaws to hit the floor and stay there. XD

Sarah: You gotta ease into it. Me: Oh, no he doesn’t! Both of you: We’re ready. Me: Oh, no you’re not!

Geoff is an absolute bass beast! Don't get me wrong, I love Avi, Tim and Matt, but if I only got to listen to one bass for the rest of my life it would be Geoff!

He hit either an Eb1 or a F#1 when he said “step a side” and the last notes were B1, Bb1, G#1 everything in this song was pure chest too :)

Yep, at least I'm not the only woman sitting around drooling over basso profundo men!!

Beautiful man with a beautiful voice. True facts.

This one gave me chills he is absolutely incredible!!

The fact that Geoff has that much capacity in just his chest voice alone is mind-blowing to me. Holy smokes,, that man is something special for sure ! ♥️

Usually not a fan of reaction channels because of all the pausing + talking over, but watched you two react to this months back and on another Geoff reaction binge and had to watch again. Your reactions are enjoyable to watch, subscribed!

Tennessee Ernie Ford was a bass-baritone singer. He was a classically trained singer, but found jobs on radio doing 'hillbilly' personality type. At one point, he also was singing too & was discovered by a Capitol records scout. He then got his own TV show while also doing snippets on radio. He released almost 50 country singles through the early 1950s, several of which made the charts. He gained national fame in 1954 as the 'country bumpkin', "Cousin Ernie", on three episodes of I Love Lucy. In 1955, Ford recorded "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" (which reached number 4 on the country music chart) with "Farewell to the Mountains" on side B. Ford scored an unexpected hit on the pop charts in 1955 with his rendering of "Sixteen Tons", a sparsely arranged coal-miner's lament. Merle Travis had first recorded it in 1946. It reflected experiences of the Travis family in the mines at Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. It spent ten weeks at number one on the country charts and seven weeks at number one on the pop charts. The record sold over twenty million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. The song made Ford a crossover star, and became his signature song. He later went on to do an evening variety show incorporating gospel shows to end them & then a talk show. Eventually, he did guest spots on others' shows, then became a spokesman & eventually retired. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pLVtJkpl_ug.html ========== From SW PA. Great-grandfather & grandfather were miners. [Pittsburgh was known for having high level of pollution from the mills. It would erode nylons. Irony? I read somewhere (not sure true) the U.S. still has a large resource but now ship out to foreign countries to produce steel at a cheaper cost.] There's a symbiotic relationship that's missed in why coal & ore mines were existing. Majority was for manufacturing specifically steel mills. Didn't have the tractor-trailers so rail & river were the modes & still are for raw resources then manufactured steel. Means railroad cars would fill up on coal or ore & go to either the river to dump on barges and/or the finished product would be shipped up river to auto manufacturers or rail for steel in buildings. Why explain this? In my area steel mills were peppered around the rivers & the coal/ore mines were developed near deposits. In PA, we called the small communities 'patches'. They could be stuck near train lines (now defunct) or near rivers. Many times farms would be surrounding them. Unlike cities, there were no supermarkets. Grew vegetables & fruit in yard along with had chickens & pigs. There would be vendors came by on certain days for milk. There are still a few coal/ore mines but not that many as times have changed. Many are closed as the resource dried up or, supply diminished. My great-grandfather & others managed to buy their houses AFTER the company closed down. My grandfather, his children were all born in that house. The house is over 160 years old. His sister my great-aunt lived there until she died at the age of 104. Both my great-grandfather & grandfather died of 'black lung" and "lung cancer' (of course these type of guys smoked packs of cigarettes daily). I drive around I can see these patches still living on nearby residential plans.

Excited to see your reaction, its one of his best so far imo.

When you watch it again (and you *know* you will 😁), turn on the captions for some cheeky Geoff... Loved this reaction 💕

This is one of the most entertaining reactions to this song thus far... it embodies exactly how I feel inside! Haha

You guys are hilarious!! I was sitting here laughing the whole time just waiting for him to sing “step aside” and waiting for your reaction! 🤣🤩🙌🏼

Kaz, my husband can hit the same notes that Geoff does in this song so I know EXACTLY how you and Sarah feel during this cover.... Oh God!! Lol!

OMG I love you gals reactions! I've watched this video countless times since Geoff released it to his Patreon members and I still get chills every single time! I grew up hearing Tennessee Ernie Ford singing this as my grandpa absolutely loved it and I spent countless hours with my grandpa so I was really excited when Geoff announced he was finally going to sing it. It is just so incredibly amazing. I love the interaction amongst the four Geoff's and using the tools the way he did was just genius. Those tools by the way actually belong to his Dad.

He actually hit a Eb1 In chest voice,... He said in a comment that he did this in full chest voice and said that there's no Subharmonics and he felt like since it was already sang by a bass he decided to "step it up a notch" (Quote by himself) and call it a Low bass singer cover

VoicePlay is gonna have a new video out either this week or next week and it’s really really good, serious, you two will absolutely LOVE it. The featuring artist is INSANE. I really think they fit SOOOO well into the group. Looking forward to when that comes out.

I will never ever get used to Geoff and his low notes he is just so damn smooth. Love your reactions you guys are too cute. I know the way Geoff looks at you it feels like he's staring into your soul. ♥

Girls, you two need comfy chairs made of Bass-Subwoofers for listening to Geoffs Low-Notes :D

As a fellow sub-harmonic bass, it makes me laugh out loud at the reaction of young people to a basso profundo (operatic term, I studied classical voice). We have been singing low like this for decades. You've just always been exposed to falsetto boys. Check out the original version of this song by Tennessee Ernie Ford. (Not criticizing. I love hearing Geoff too. )

My husband has subwoofers in his car. The amount of amazing this song is - it's tenfold when using them.

Can't wait to see your reactions to this! I absolutely love this cover

You've helped me create a new word ....... "ear-gasm"

You two are SOOO much fun!! I love your stunned silence at the end. Sarah, I hope you're feeling better!

This was the very first Geoff or Voiceplays videos I ever saw or heard. I actually thought that it was identical quadruplets at first then flipped out when I realized it was all Geoff. I have binged all of their videos in a day then added them to my play lists immediately.

Are you saying, he reached a new High in Lows... And I love the fact that the both of you got all dressed up for Geoff.

The last note he hit was a chest Ab1. As Geoff Castellucci confirmed he is singing only in full voice throughout the song.

Most adorable reaction to Geoff EVER! Loved it!

I absolutely love watching both you and Sarah react to Geoff. It absolutely makes my day!

Cant wait to see this one, absolutely mind blowing

He left you two speechless. I love ❤ his voice. Gr8 reaction. Thx for sharing. 💕

I need a cooling fan after watching and hearing this.

lmao omg you two are so hilarious to watch, i love y'all's reactions

3:32 the look on Sarah’s face = PRICELESS!!

Oh man ,can't wait to see your reaction!!!!!!!!

You two kill me. Love it. Geoff Castellucci: the epitome of awesomeness. Agreed?

omg this is my favorite reaction by far! thank you so much i loved this

This is the best reaction to his song 16 tons I have seen so far and I've seen quite a few!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

i love you 2 and i love this performer.. just back showing love dears . ♥♥♥

I am loving ❤ 💕 your reactions. You Too are Amazing!!

Love your reactions, great stuff!

I am new to your channel lol, I love it. The reactions of you two is too funny! lol I thought you were gonna have to pause the video when Kaz went mental for a second when Geoff said "Well a bless my soul" lol Priceless. Way to hang in there.....for a few seconds lol

Can you believe Geoff said he had "spaghetti arms"?!

He will couse your cat to turn into a lion. and when he says step aside it will make you leave the country

Just about every reaction to this I’ve seen has women’s jaw dropping to the floor and so enamored, they’re speechless.

i keep coming back Kaz an Sarah.. i love Geoff so much, but your reactions are just amazing ^_^

I've always loved this song. Remember listening to Tennessee Ernie Ford sing it when I was a kid. This was an amazing version. Oh, if y'all would like to listen to some more bass singing, Chris Rupp (formerly of Home Free) just released a cover of Josh Turner's "Long Black Train" featuring Tim Foust. It's pretty good!

Loved your reaction ladies there was actually seismic activity when this song was sang😂😂❤️❤️🔥🔥

This is my favorite solo cover he's done. Also that was all in chest voice, he didn't go subharmonic to hit those notes.

I pretty much love anything Geoff does, but DAMN! This is by far his best song ever in my opinion! And the visuals are hot too! 🥰

I absolutely enjoyed your reactions to that video.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching you guys get your ovaries melted by this guy over and over again xD (It's okay, it happens to all of us)

Great reaction ladies! My reaction was the exact same 😍

You guys were funny. Great reaction. :)

When he hit that bass drop, I felt like his voice weighed sixteen tons LMAO

splendidly done!! Sarah's face is so reactive!! You two are amazing and I loves you dears!! I know you would have his babies kaz, which is ok, I would too >.>

Y'all at the start: "Okay, I'm ready" Me: "No, you really aren't." There is no being ready for Geoff's performances. You think every time that you know how good it's going to be, and he just surpasses every time. Anyway, love your reactions!

Love your reactions.

Was a sceptic cuz I’m an old school country kinda gal. Tennessee Ernie Ford would approve of this!! Amazing job!! I’m gonna be looking for more...the laundry can WAIT!

Your reactions are great !!

That opening joke tho!!! omg lol. this version of this song is just AWESOME!!!!!! love it! Tennessee Ernie Ford's original was very cool but this just drooooopppppppssss the bottom base!! What is this dude's Range??!!! massively cool! Fun reaction, thanks ladies.

I have listened to it 15 times, it does not get any better.

You're reaction 5:58 is just priceless. It says it all!

Y’all are the funniest reactors.

This song is so familiar to me. I grew up hearing this song and singing the lyrics came so naturally after so many years past. But Tennessee Ernie Ford's voice never gave me the chills across my nerves that this man does.

The last note was G#1, the same note Tim Foust hit at the end of Misty Mountains which you guys just reacted too!

got the chills ref,,,,well done lol

love it tht yr screen is bigger thn u...also yre honest abt geoff...

Gotta Love Y'alls Reactions!!! Can't imagine what y'alls Beaus think of y'alls Getting So Excited!!!

Wow I enjoy listening to him I hope he will keep up the good work take care

This made me realise how crazy Geoff is.

good! I have been with you since the 50 subs, hugs from Brazil

lmfao omg y'all are awesome, and the reactions. breathe girls, breathe lol. need a fan? a cold drink? lol

I love how Sarah is just like.....nope....I'm done...

I love your vlogs

That will forever be one of my favorite jokes.

Lol you guys are really funny

Im glad i found this channel its not as serious as others (sorry cant spell)

This has to be the greatest example of 100% justifiable simping 🤣🤣 And i love every second

This is TRULY GREAT!! Tech nowadays is amazing to allow one person to do amazing music ( like the trombone player who did 4 parts plus finger snaps and hand claps for rhythm, by going back and adding to looping parts)....Only bummer is,most likely he can't do it in a live acoustic performance.Buuuutt maybe with cloning.... :)

Was i wrong! Lol great reaction

Agreed. 4 of this man is too much for us ladies to handle... then you add in the bass and we’re dead.

That pun was horrible and I loved it, +1 from me xD

That was a really good joke!!! lmao

I ain't got nothin'. That was the look you had at the end.

Still my favorite reaction to this video.

This cover is based off of Rockapella's version of the song. Geoff has said their bassist Barry Carl is his favorite bassist. Various country artists have recorded it the most famous two being Tennessee Ernie Ford and Johnny Cash.

HAIL GEOFF CASTELUCCI

The Grease quote was worth a like on its own. :D x

Geoff. Always good for a Bass Workout, along with Bobby, Tomi and a few others.

Definitely check out Geoff - High and Dry, it shows off his incredible range really well.

You 2 are soo funny

Grew listening to Tennessee Ernie Ford doing 16 Tons

Good lord that opening joke was so stupid but SO FUNNY 🤣🤣🤣

The last words on "Can't no high toned woman make me walk the line" and "If you see me comin', better step aside" are insanely low for chest notes for a "baritone with a bass' low notes" according to geoff himself

Great reaction reaction, ladies! Geoff has a beautiful voice. He has often talked about his admiration for another bass singer by the name of Thurl Ravenscroft (you might know him as the one who sings "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch", dozens of Disney characters, and, of course, Tony the Tiger). I hear a lot of Mr. Ravenscroft in this performance! For a truly unique, other worldly, "new note" experience you must listen to Tim Storms. World record holder for the lowest sung bass note. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xtAltg0ZIrY.html This is well below the lowest notes here.

Did you guys not watch his cover of High and Dry? I remember watching it but i cant find the video on your channel anymore.
