VOICEPLAY ft. Anthony Gargiula | Creep (Radiohead Cover) Reaction 

Darn it, Lyle.... You made me want to jump on a plane and come hug you until you couldn't stand it. Thank you, thank you for being so honest and open with your reactions. You touch my heart like no other reactor does. Please, never change the way you do your videos. All of us out here love you!!!

I've been a Pentaholic for a few years now, and I will always love listening to them, but when you take in ALL of it, VoicePlay surpasses them. They are at least as talented, vocally, PLUS they create ALL of it themselves. They have no studio backing (which also means no studio trying to tell them what to do), they have their own talent pool to draw on for everything from arranging, filming, costuming, media presence, and so forth. I assembled a list of the stuff they've dropped over the last year or so and posted it on another reactor's page and was really blown away by the sheer magnificence of the stuff they've produced. I've watched this video plus reactions to it several times now, and each time, my eyes flood. If you want a little relief from that heart-rending, actually go to the original video and read the "liner notes" (description box). Even with tears flowing down my face, I found myself giggling at their humor. One of my favorite things about them is their relentless sense of humor. Note that people want to talk about how good they've "become," but seriously, people - go back and watch some of their older stuff. Try Phantom of the Opera, for instance, which is so old that TONY is in it (and Geoff has short hair, omg). They have NEVER been less than extraordinary.

Pentatonix, Home Free, and Voctave are so talented. All respect in the world to them. They don’t hold a candle to these guys. They have such depth. You feel what they feel. They absolutely get their message across. No other group Is on their level. The way they can do any genre and make it their own. Just superb.

One takeaway from this can be the last scene. Although they’ve spent most of the video reflecting with the mirror (and even when singing together, they were all feeling their own thoughts) that last scene shows there’s really no difference between them. Everybody is weird in their own way, but can come together to make something beautiful. And don’t worry about their next one. They just filmed it today, and I’ll challenge you right now to just try to get through it without laughing!

You're still here and are VERY loved and appreciated!

I cannot get through this without crying. I no longer sob uncontrollably. I’ve gotten that handled a little better. But the minute Cesar’s voice breaks on the word “cry” my eyes well up. Between the beautiful arrangement, the outstanding vocals and the stark drama of each of them staring into a mirror, I don’t know how anyone cannot be moved by this. I suffer from both depression and anxiety, and as a result I constantly doubt myself. The first few times I sort of had a little meltdown. But now I find it somewhat cathartic and even therapeutic to know that everyone has those moments. It just that some of us have more of them. I so admire and appreciate your honest reaction. I know there’s a lot of musical theory, and a lot of impressive “this” and fantastic “that”. But I love that you just appreciated the music for the piece of art it is. Thank you for your honesty. It’s why we keep coming back. Hugs 🤗🫂❤

Lyle, thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a real reaction and not being afraid of showing it, hiding the emotion behind editing. This is what keeps us coming back for more of your reactions. You said everything we are all feeling and actually putting it into words and you did it beautifully. Thank you, thank you❤ Sending lots of love and appreciation from Canada.

So beautiful, and so painful. For me, one of the things that made it powerful was hearing the same words from each of them, and realizing how universal self-doubt is. Thank you for keeping it real. Thank you, too, for reacting to Cesar's beautiful opening here, instead of ignoring it to focus on Geoff's low notes, as so many have. Somehow, watching reactors ignoring the beauty of his acting and voice just makes the words - the song - more painful.

I, too, cried watching this the first couple of times. VoicePlay is definitely my favorite of all a cappella groups. I mean, the way they know each other and trust each other to put something so beautiful and emotional and moving like this together. They are definitely a force to be reckoned with. Watching your reaction, you made me cry again. I just wanted to reach through the screen and hug you. I hope you're doing well.

Have you recovered yet? I just wanted to come and give you a hug all the way through this reaction. This version hits differently doesn't it. Eli smashed this one out of the park with his arrangement. Hopefully we will get more Eli arrangements in the future.

nothing more manly than a big man with a heart and not afraid to show it...thank you for your reaction.

It's been three years since Eli did an arrangement for them (Eleanor Rigby). I hope we don't have to wait that long for his next one. This was just masterful! Thanx for plowing through it, I know it was difficult! And yes, Voiceplay is the best!

Eli took the emotion of this song and each of their experiences and made it real. He arranged an amazing cover with this.

I've heard maybe a dozen covers of this wonderful song, some good, some ok but only VoicePlay have reduced me to tears! Their arrangements are always stunning, their voices, superb and the depth of emotion they portray in this rendition is for me, quite overwhelming! Seeing your tears Lyle, made me cry even harder. Bless you for letting that raw emotion show and thank you for another great reaction! 🔥😥💜🇬🇧

I cry everytime I hear this. Seeing them have watery eyes singing this brought up my own insecurities. Eli arranged this so beautifully.

1. You are special no matter what your mind is tricking you into believing. 2. Looks like this song was just the thing you needed to release the ‘pressure’ from your bad times (we all need to cry sometimes) 3. Agreed… VP are the best!

Lyle, I usually don't watch a reaction video if it lasts 20 minutes or more, but when you post one, I know it will be worthwhile, so I always watch it. This one exceeded my expectations - it was a wonderful reaction to this beautiful arrangement. Thank you, and hugs and blessings to you.

Lyle, YOU are very special. I cried when I first heard this and I cried with you at your reaction. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

This song is a stab in the heart in the best way. It captures the absolute despair that no one will every love you the way you are. It captures the imposter syndrome almost everyone feels. It captures the "of course everyone leaves, they deserve better." This rendition perfectly captured how I related to the original song. It hurts, but you feel less alone, because here is a group of people you admire, maybe even idolize, singing your feelings back at you.

Love your comments at the very end. I totally agree with everything you said.

Your silence immediately at the end said it all...I had the same reaction the first time I heard this cover. I've since listened so many times and get emotional each and every time. I so appreciate your emotional reaction so don't ever be afraid to show how you feel. You are loved ❤

Their emotions are so raw in this. And your reaction is so bare in its honesty. I can’t help but connect. Thanks and take care of yourself.

I agree with you that they found themselves and I hope they keep bringing more because I can't get enough

Thank you so much for your reaction - especially with the gut punch of the raw emotions! Please know that you are loved!

I'm watching this across the world in Florida, at 1:30 AM. And I, too, was speechless. So many people have told you you're loved and supported... take those words into your heart, and embrace them.

Lyle hope you’re ok It is a very emotional song and they knock it out of the park ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Totally agree - Voiceplay most outstanding Acapella Group going!

This is such an emotional cover of this song. Cesar makes me cry. And a perfect heartfelt reaction from you❤

Thank you for the great reactions, I agree voiceplay is ahead of the game. Eli did the arrangement on this and it’s absolutely beautiful. I cry every time I hear this. Sending ❤️ from the states

This so phenomenally fantastic!! These guys can do anything and turn it into gold. Had to grab me a box of tissues for this one. Cesar killed it with his emotions, Eli did amazing with this arrangement. I have no words. I mean They all put so many emotions into this song. I was crying through most of it. It is already on my playlist! Great reaction!! And Lyle...You are enough, and we love you!!

Loved your reaction to this one! It definitely gets you in the feels. It just shows that we are all our own worst critics. Eli did a stellar job arranging and lighting this as well as his direction with Tony. Geoff even said that he had a hard time not being emotional while recording this. I love how simple the video is since their vocals do all the storytelling literally and figuratively.

Thank you Lyle, sending love.❤❤

I personally respect anyone who admits to their own humanity and all the vulnerabilities and emotions that go with it. You handled it very well. Many reactors have been taken off-guard by their deep reactions brought about by this song performed by Voiceplay.

Such a beautiful song and video. Eli hit it out of the park with this arrangement.

Music is so amazing when it touches one's soul. And then VP does this & just collapses one's total being! Love you, Guy. ❤

Each and everyone in this was superb which made the whole thing, Sublime.

You are loved bro, so is everyone that reads this.

This song hits right in the feels. I cry every time I hear it.

Loved how it moved you. I don’t see how anybody can not be touched by it. Love voiceplay

It took me a week of watching it before I could get through it without crying. And now with it hitting reactors I'm crying again. Eli did such a fantastic arrangement and all the the guys knocked it out of the park. Beautiful song.

This is the second song VoicePlay has covered that I like/love and never liked or cared for before their version. They made me like In My Room after decades of hearing it and having a "meh" reaction at the best. And I didn't really like Creep until hearing this one.

Great reaction; pretty much how I felt for the first couple of times😢😢 hope you will be better in no time❤

All good man. They really put some emotion into this one. Enjoyed your genuine reaction.

Thank you for your very emotional reaction! 🥰 We were quite a lot of people who got leaking eyes watching this for the first time. I totally agree that VoicePlay has taken the lead.

Lyle, between you and Cesar I am a mess and probably need to go take a shower and nap after that ugly cry. Thank you for being real. Thank you for letting us know we aren't the only ones that this cover ripped apart. And thank you for just being. Like you, this has been a real hard week/month for me and getting harder.. this cover let me do what I hadn't done, cry.

Much love Lyle!!❤❤ I think we have all lived and felt the lyrics of this song, 100%!!😢

I feel ya man. Great reaction.

This song punches me in the gut everytime. The song is Just briljant. But voiceplay is killing it. And please, never forget: you are so very special! To me , to the community you have build and to your lovedones. Big hug 💞

❤❤❤❤

Loved the realness of your reaction, thank you for being so open with us. One of the things I appreciate how about Voiceplay is that they often cover songs in a way that highlights something different or brings out a different feeling or perspective from the lyrics. They did it so well with this in particular- I’ve never really liked this song but I love the cover and found it emotional for me too

Wow, you have been the most emotional over this song. Thank you for your priceless reaction to Voice Play. Cesar really breaks my heart with his expressions. I had to listen to this many many times so I could concentrate on each one of their voices & expressions separately. The more I listen to it the better I love it.

I spent almost 2 decades living the lyrics in Geoff’s solo. This is my favorite version of this song, the video just helps solidify that.

A real tearjerker. Heartbreaking, as you say. For me anyway. How many people can say they haven't felt that way? Five very special guys who probably don't know it. :) Well done for holding it together. I had the feeling it was a struggle. I don't even try. :) And yes Anthony's voice is sublime. I read that Cesar saw someone shot in a gay club he was in, so maybe.... and apparently Florida is cuutting down on gay rights..... so , you know. Thank you, I agree totally, they are in a league of their own.

No words needed. Your tears say it all

Hugs Lyle!! This is the best Creep cover ever! VP just absolutely grabs you by the feels, and insecurities, I dare say even more emotional than the original.

I have a sticky note on my bathroom mirror that says, "Depression Lies," because I need the reminder every day. I love how the final note of this is done with everyone in frame, because they are not alone. Hugs from Tucson, Arizona, Lyle.

I have cried everytime I have watched this, including all reactions to it! Thanks for your very real reaction.

It looked for all the world that VoicePlay had broken your heart. Hugs from me to you. I didn't think any song they could do would be more heartrending than I Can't Make You Love Me but I was so wrong. Oh Lord, they got this one so right. The mirror setup was another masterpiece of stagecraft. It added so much to the heartbreak and the haunting feelings. I agree that no one can touch them these days. They are that good and that SPECIAL.

Serious big HUGS for you. This song always hits hard, but this version really just, wow. Felt it and cried the first time I listened. You made me cry again. Thank you for always being so authentic and real in your reactions! It is so appreciated.

As a new subscriber(literally between your 2nd and 3rd replay) I wanna say I totally agree with all your subscribers, I like reactors who show real genuine emotions. Who are willing to be vulnerable and say "Here I am, like it or fuc$ off." There's a saying from somewhere; "If music doesn't make you feel SOMETHING/ANYTHING, then you're not listening; you're only hearing." Let them emotions flow my friend, if we(I should say "I", cause I shouldn't speak for all) didn't want honest, raw reactions we wouldn't be here. Anyone can watch a video and go "music good, bad, whateves", but to actually get something out of it is a totally different story. I'm going to apologize in advance; short replys, comments aren't really my thing.

Wish I could give you a hug! I could use one too.

🤗💕

Hey Lyle, been watching your reactions for a while and wanted to let you know how much I enjoy them. I especially appreciate your honest emotion with this one. When Geoff let slip that they were doing this one I listened to the original and the Ptx cover to have an idea of what to expect. Then they did the Patreon release, I hit play and it felt like a baseball bat to the stomach. Then I watched it again and again trying to process. It is so easy to put up walls, get defensive, get self protective when life asks something of you. It is so hard to be open, to take risk, to be vulnerable. This captures all of that.

I am sorry you have been having such a tough time recently. Sending hugs and love your way

Beautiful reaction!! Sending you all the hugs! ❤❤ And I agree with pretty much every single thing you said. VP always leaves me better than they found me. Their music pulls at my soul. And this one broke my heart and made me revisit some things that I haven't thought about in a long time. I'm wishing you all the good things and then some!

BIG hugs to You Lyle

When you said this week has been a rough one I thought, well maybe today wasn't the day to film this one! 😅 But actually, maybe it was exactly the right time for this, because there was something you needed to get out and this track helped that. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and hope things improve for you lovely x

Thank you for such an honest, emotional reaction. It's what I felt when I saw and heard the song on the VP patreon the first time: stunned tears. I can watch it now (a week later) without weeping, but the beauty of and vulnerability in the guys' voices still brings a lump to my throat. This self-reflection, represented literally here, and insecurity are what the song should've always been about. Other interpretations have had so much anger and borderline misogyny that I grew to dislike the song. Eli and VP have made a version that rings true for all of us who've ever suffered with imposter syndrome, with no nasty undercurrents. And yes, VoicePlay truly is the best.

I had the same reaction as you through several watches, I cried so hard! Too much recognition, I think, in all areas both social and work- or life related. But it’s also kind of healing to listen to this. Like talking about your issues with a close friend. It’s beautiful, VoicePlay is so great! Take care!❤

Beautiful reaction…most heartfelt and honest I’ve seen so far of this incredible song by VP.

Beautiful, haunting, and gets ya right in the heart, your not alone brought me to tears as well

I’ve listened to this video so many times. I love this song and the vocals grab my stomach and break my heart every time! I’ve also listened to many reactions to this song. Your reaction was the best and so sincere - so from the heart. I loved that you played it three times! It’s been a while since you posted this. I hope you’ve been having better days. Thanks so much for this superb reaction. God bless! 🥰

❤❤❤ Beautiful reaction my friend

You are not alone. Sending hugs!

I love that they let us see their vulnerability and their insecurities in a way that's so uniquely Voiceplay. Your reaction hit me right where you felt it too. Thank you for being genuinely you Lyle. Wish I could give you a big hug. We all need those sometimes. xo

"Let's listen to it again. If you don't like it, who gives a shit." LOL! 👍👍

This one hits hard, doesn't it? They all give a gut-punch of a performance, but Cesar definitely has the sharpest blade (he's incredibly good at that sort of thing, and apparently he has suffered a lot of real-life tragedy, made much more difficult these days, I would imagine, by being part of the LGBTQ+ community in America.) It feels like they all laid their vulnerabitlities bare in this one though (Geoff apparently has body issues, so giving him the line "I want a perfect body" was probably what helped him sell it.) Anthony's so young, I really hope he hasn't suffered too much already in real life to deliver his heart-rending performance. And please don't feel bad about feeling your emotions on camera either - it's what makes your reactions so special and meaningful. I agree with you about Voiceplay - they've actually taken over the top spot in my Favourite Acapella Group list with their recent work. And yeah, Eli is my favourite too!

Stay real, just as you are. 🫂

This song definitely brings the feels. Tearful hugs from the pacific northwest!

I think everyone did some self reaction during and after this one. We are all human and have insecurities... even them. They hit all cylinders. Each was perfect in their roles in the song. Magnificent!

Beautiful and touching reaction, Lyle. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us. ❤

Bless you, baby. You’re not alone.

Right there with you, man.

....and now there are 2 of us crying!! You are more than good enough that's why we all come back to spend some time with you xxx

I wish I could reach through and give you a hug.

it makes me cry like a baby too, its SO SO SO good, and omg the emotions.. absolutely wrecks me every time but I love it.

yes i agree - they are the best!

You are a beautiful person Lyle, so heartfelt & just down to earth real. thank you for another great reaction

Love your channel brother, always looking forward to see if you’re reaction is like mine. This was a song I have always been able to relate to. I once weighed right at 500 lbs, that mirror was always my worst enemy and voice of reason at the same time. Looking forward to your next reaction my friend, let’s be amazed togethe. 👍🏻

I love the reaction. Your channel is by far one of my favorites. Thank you for all you do ❤

Hugs, and thank you

This was beautiful and you are wonderful

Always love your reaction.

Voiceplay did an amazing job on this song. The emotion came thru in each individual sequence. To be hones, I did not like the original - too much electronic noise that overshadowed the words and meaning. There are many versions of this cover but I think VP has a unique way of interpretation for all their songs. Love you reactions and will always check back. Now, to address the emotion - don't ever change. While there are some creeps" in this world, most of us are just "unique" and vital to the universe. We are part of the whole. And at almost 80 - having lived thru angst and self doubt what I have learned is NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOURSELF UNLESS YOU LET THEM. Hugs

I feel you man ,they have done many great copies ,I like hellfire ,hoist the colours, Valhalla calling.but this is special.great reaction.

You belong here ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hugs to you.❤
