Also at 3:02, EVERY TIME, my brain goes "boom, crash, bam boom! KIDDING!!!" It's been a little over SEVEN YEARS since the Broadway Top 10 came out with its tiny snippet of Popular. Guys, TONY was in that one, that's how long it's been. Such a kick of nostalgia, but the thing that really struck me was how much better the bassline was in the 2021 version. People don't realize how much Geoff has improved since VP started. He's gotten lower and he's learned subharmonics, sure, but he's also gotten the confidence to show all that off. I'd like to think that 2021 Geoff wrote the bassline that 2014 Geoff wanted to sing back then. Again, just wow.

@angiewoollard704 2 года назад

Cesar looks at Geoff with such genuine love and admiration and appreciation at 5:29 that each time I watch it, a sob catches in my throat and tears come to my eyes. There's no acting there. Now, contrast that with the interaction between Cesar and Geoff at 3:43... Cesar: KILL THE WITCH! Geoff: You okay, pal? Cesar: Yeah, I'm fine... That's one of the many incredible things about a VoicePlay video - the dedication to characterization and the telling of the story. They aren't just standing there singing, but rather, there's thought put into little looks, gestures, facial expressions. This storytelling is helped along by the amazing light show that Eli gave us - whether you realize you recognize them or not, those lighting cues between each song, and sometimes even within a song, draw you into the story even deeper. Now for the music stuffs. One interesting thing that really struck me was when two singers came together in unison (Rachel and Emoni at 4:58 and 5:22; Cesar and Geoff at 5:29) which, to me, was very powerful in those moments in the story as it gave a sense of them being equals. Some cool flexes: -Geoff jumping TWO octaves at 0:55 from Ab1 to Ab3 -Cesar riffing up and Eli riffing down at 1:12 -The handoff of the solo from Rachel to Eli at 1:42 -Layne popping a bubble at 2:41 and then the cute head choreo move with the lyrics at 2:46, all while laying down his epic 7+ minute beatboxing extravaganza -Geoff's solo in "Wonderful" (3:16) - "here, let me do a quick range flex by beautifully singing a phrase in a range higher than people expect from me and then singing the next phrase an octave lower..." all while Eli nonchalantly holds down the bass line. -Applause and slack-jawed awe for that C#1 at the end, Geoff. 😯 The intertwining of lyrics and melody lines was absolutely brilliant - they swirled around in my head like a kaleidoscope. The tempo changes/ritards, that goosebump-inducing dip into Lydian at 5:49 (is that in the original...?), that complex orchestral-feeling penultimate chord at the end...it was all just masterful. Although the right chord progression frequently brings tears to my eyes, not many songs make me teary due to the sentimentality and emotion of the performance and the grandeur of the arrangement, but this is one of them. (Sorry for always posting such wordy comments. I just always want to shine a light on all the things I appreciate...and there are always a lot of them...)

@janetdw 2 года назад

I am not musically trained and I learned so much from people like you. Never apologize for a long discourse when it’s full of information. One of my favorite parts was in Wonderful. I love the little shoulder bobs and Cesar’s face is just so joyful. He has such an expressive voice and expressive face. What a great addition he makes to the team! Oh. And at 5:47. Chills.

Bubbles, beats and...bloody amazing bits! 🤪 (obviously I'm not musically talented! Lol) Eli's notes are always so pure and perfect, even when they feel like they should be a vocal crack AND those lighting/visual effects were pure joy to watch...AMAZING work!🤩 Geoff showing us his range and hitting those notes that make our skin tingle all the way from our toes (those bass rumbles make my toes curl) right to the top of our heads (HOW can he sing such a range of notes with such purity and clarity???)...beautiful! 🥰 And not forgetting Rachel who slots so wonderful into every little gap and sings so beautifully and powerfully, matching wonderfully with Emoni AND with the rest of the band, while still keeping her voice true...fabulous!💗 Honestly, this piece might be my absolute favourite...you are marvellous and...maybe I should listen again from the top...💕💕💕

@Flutergirl1124 2 года назад

I love how no one is afraid to be expressive with their hands as well as their faces. As singers, we tend to use our hands to visualize what we physically do when we sing. Every action they do has a purpose and I think it's amazing that they don't try to hide that

@barnabasjthomas9983 2 года назад

5:55... Wow. The six hold their chord, letting it build into a tense, discordant harmony and drop into an instant of pure silence..

Thank you for having Emoni singing for Glinda. Having someone who is canonically popular and beautiful played by someone who is “fat” (in quotes because I use it to describe myself but other people may find it offensive) can be incredibly helpful for people’s self esteem. It just goes to show that we don’t all have to look like the magazine models to be beautiful. Also am I the only one who noticed that Tony has been involved more with VoicePlay videos lately, behind the scenes for the last two they released. It might just be coincidence, but it does show that they’re still on good terms.

I totally agree with you. Emoni is a big girl and is absolutely smoking hot. I find the obsession with tiny, skinny girls a bit weird to be honest. It's fine if a woman is naturally thin, but some women are naturally big even with a good diet and exercise. I imagine Emoni is phenomenally active with a very busy schedule, but is probably like a lot of us in that it's easy to put weight on and hard to lose it. She's gorgeous, talented, has the voice of an angel and looks like she's a lot of fun.

No one lays a lily on their grave Eli: The good man scorns the Wicked! Through their lives, our children learn All: What we miss, when we misbehave: Emoni: And Goodness knows The Wicked's lives are lonely And Goodness knows The Wicked die alone (Nothing grows for the Wicked) Nothing grows for the Wicked Geoff: Nothing grows for the Wicked They reap only What they've sown (Good news!)

Obviously the vocals, harmonies and arrangement are superb as expected, but can we talk about Layne? Holy crap. I don't think I have had my mind blown by a vocal percussion performance like that since the first time I heard a Jeff Thatcher solo. Can't wait to see the reactors making the same stupid faces I was undoubtedly making.

The most amazing Thanksgiving gift I have ever received. My husband and I went and saw Wicked years ago, and this is my first Thanksgiving without him in 53 years, so your reminder of an amazing time together brought a sweet sadness and thankfulness that I had him for so long. I wish I could hug every one of you.

This comment took me a long time to formulate (and a version was originally posted on Patreon). I was trying to find the words to describe how I feel about this one. It is not often I am at a loss for words. I'm still unsure I've properly verbalized it, but here we go... This arrangement just knocked me back, it's just SO detailed. The iconic songs are in there, and they are beautifully done, but it is things like the weaving together of "Popular" and "One Short Day" (for example) or just that perfect little snippet of "Wonderful" that is the real brilliance to me. There is so much going on, it's difficult to take it all in. I just adore this arrangement. And the performances? Everyone was on TOP of their game for this one, y'all make it seem *so* easy, but it's not. Then there's "Defying Gravity." I feel the segue out of "For Good" into it was perfectly subtle (especially if one is unfamiliar with the lyrics (not me 😁)). And that moment the light goes green and Rachel sings "So if you care to find me..." ...when it hit, I got chills and teared up simultaneously. So, in summary for TL:DR... Very well done, and thank you! 💚

@sharicreamer4514 2 года назад

I don't know any of this music so I fear I am missing out on some of the complexity you describe. Maybe I should quit now, go watch the musical a dozen times, then come back to this arrangement.

I've never really been a fan of Wicked (I just don't watch a lot of theatre), but this was absolutely amazing. Fantastic arrangement. First time seeing Emoni, and her voice is beautiful. That opening with "Nothing Grows for the Wicked" was fantastic, and Popular was great too. The whole thing was great, but in my opinion, Rachel's performance of Defying Gravity stole this for me. She's worked with Voiceplay a number of times, and I wish they'd just make her a full-time member already xD

@huldradraco 2 года назад

everyone wishes Rachel would join, but she lives too far away from them. a new member would have to live in Florida or close by, and she lives far away with her family and a steady job.

@00Jess_M 2 года назад

I don't know the musical, so most of the songs were new to me. I think I've heard Popular before somewhere and of course Defying Gravity. But thanks to Glee I learned to hate that song. So thank you, VP and Rachel, for this version I love to listen to. How do they always know what kind of voice the songs need and sound that way? Meanwhile I am sitting here, already happy when I just hit the right note, not even trying to sound any kind of way. Cesar's "kill the witch" and Geoff's look are priceless, but I can't get over how Cesar looks at Geoff during the "because I knew you". 😢 But to be honest, at that point my eyes are already debating whether to tear up or not since Emoni startet that part of the medley. Maybe I should give the original songs - especially that one (For Good?) - a listen, but I feel like it's mainly Emoni's and Cesar's fault. Their voices with just the humming or bass underneath sound so beautiful. And after listening to a VP version I always miss Layne's beat in the original songs. 😁 I love that in this one, as almost always, every person has a moment to shine and i get to hear all of my favorite voices. But can somebody tell those reactors that this one high note comes from Eli, not Rachel? Many seem to get confused and not all of them notice their mistake. 😂 It's so much fun to watch Eli. He kills the vocals and is so charismatic.

@tonifinley4872 Год назад

All of the singers are great in this, but can we show some extra love for Layne, please? His vocal percussion is AMAZING!

My favorite part is Rachel's 3-part build of defy-y-Ying gravity. With her hand motions it's like she's charging a spell. Her outfit suits it really well too. She'd be great for the wicked witch part tbh.

This is VoicePlay! To Geoff, Layne, Eli, and Cesar, thank you for all you do to make the world a little brighter. Rachel, you'll always be the fifth member of this extraordinary team to me.
