Why the whole world hasn't fallen in love with VoicePlay yet I'll never know! 😢

Geoff said he wept so much editing this video. Cesar chose this song and his voice is so mournful just pulls at your heartstrings. It's ok I watch every reactor that shows this or any of their videos. Found out that the reactor's view counts also get counted toward VP's view count.

Mortius will cry for a week after this one.

Geoff truly is the master of 5-part harmony, unexpected dissonances, and emotional arrangements. This is a gorgeous song, and your reaction is spot on.

I was so bummed when you finished the VoicePlay week and hadn’t done this song. So thank you for today. This is such a heartbreaker. 💔. They all did an amazing job and it was, as always, a joy to hear Layne singing. But Cesar! He just rips your heart out. I don’t have any musical training, and I am blown away by the arrangement and the layering so I can’t even imagine what must be like for somebody who understands just how complex it is.

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who has to pause Voiceplay videos, sigh deeply, rewatch a part and be in shock on how good it is. Love watching you freak out like I do Jen!

I've watched your reaction several times...when Eli starts to sing you instinctively touch your chest as if to touch your heart....

Cesar suggested it, Geoff arranged it (and said that he wept during the putting it together).

Thank you for a wonderful reaction. I'm right there with you on how personally involved I feel when these guys don't get the love they deserve in the views. I think it highlights just how tough it is for independents to get the notice and clicks they deserve. As an acapella fan (and having done a little of it myself) I really feel the differences between the groups and, while I always recognize the talent of the big three or four groups, I just can't help but put VoicePlay up on a different pedestal because they do it all from arranging to production, and everything in between, themselves. They don't have the resources behind the other groups but they produce top quality content from the first note to the last image on the screen. So I appreciate talented people like you telling their story through your reactions and encouragement of their work. I wish you all the success in growing your own following.

Didn't expect for the 5th day of voiceplay week. Unexpected is always the best.

I can always hear Layne’s harmonies when he is singing. I love his voice! Thank you, thank you, thank you Jenn for another VoicePlay reaction! ❤️

I so agree with you, this deserves a million views. It is a masterpiece both in arrangement and voices. Easily one of their best.

Is Geoff of this world? I cannot get enough of his voice. A his voice is a gift from above. Unreal.

I'm still so surprised you haven't reacted to the Moana medley or the Liittle Mermaid medley. IMO Voiceplay's two best videos/arrangements.

How does one know a song is beyond good? When it stops a professional analyst from doing their job and sucks them right on along with the rest of us. Great reaction, Jen. And good on you for keeping on top of things for as long as you did.

Loved the reaction!!! I would LOVE to hear EJ and Omar together do something with Voiceplay. That would be epic but will probably never happen.

Ceasar has the perfect voice for this song. EJ Cordona is a great add to this. Geoff did an amazing job editing. Thanks for reacting to this Jen.

You have absolutely made my whole week... the 4 VoicePlay reactions earlier - now a bonus reaction of the recent release! Thank you so very much. You are by far the best analyzer/reactor of music on KZfaq!😃

Totally agree with you. This one is just outstanding. I share and share, but ... and it gets to me every time, as I've just given up on a long term relationship. I don't know why more people don't appreciate them.

Beautiful! Another VoicePlay song that certainly will stir one’s emotions is their version of “True Colours”. It’s amazing! And Eli totally moves my heart in VoicePlay’s collab with Kurt Hugo Schneider in “Waving through a window” (from the musical Dear Evan Hansen”), on Kurt’s channel.

This arrangement takes me back to those HUGE Boyz II Men hits of that golden age of early 90's R&B... just so good!

Voiceplay has also done a song with Kurt Hugo Schneider on keyboard, called Waving Through a Window (from Dear Evan Hansen), where Eli has full lead the entire song. It really showcases Eli's versatility as a singer, and is highly recommended for Eli fans. 🙂

Those glasses look beautiful on you

Did they destroy you? They did me. This was so sad but of course beautiful at the same time. These guys are treasures. I try to watch five videos a day of theirs just to drive up their numbers. I do the same for Geoff's solo channel.

Oddly enough when this first came out I didn't feel the sorrow that so many others apparently did. I was in isolation because of Covid-19, and I really needed a hug, which I felt like this provided.

Comment; not about your reaction, but about the glasses...Sometimes people don't really look right in the glasses they choose...Girl....you look REALLY good in those glasses. Seriously....nice.

I feel like you could easily do an hour just breaking apart this piece. There is sooo much going on and the detail is incredible

As I mentioned in the first premier for Voice Play week, once you got to this video Cesar was going to break your heart. I love Cesar's voice, I have for awhile now, and have been impressed with him as an artist, and in general, for some time now. His personality comes through so much in each of Voice Play's offerings, fun, cheeky, sassy, a bit silly sometimes, but never hurtful. Then to have him come along and show us just how much someone hurt him, no, not hurt him, crushed him...My Gods, how do you NOT feel that? Ej is just redamndicilous, as always. Voice Play, Cesar in particular, set a tone and Ej's like, "Oh, we're causing depression today? Okay, I can do that!" ( Does it ever make anyone else mad, just how insanely talented these people all are? 🤣) Eli...*smh* Is there a more metal way to tear someone's heart out of their chest? If so, I don't want to hear it. And Lane...WTF, man! Arranger, videographer, director, editor, living 808, actor, all around good guy, funny...and can sing, too? Come on, bro! Leave something for the rest of us, will ya? Then we have Geoff. *sigh* Nobody has that kind of time, so...moving on! Great reaction, exactly what I was expecting but still so much fun to watch someone else break as much as I did.

I cannot speak for the rest of the ever growing multitude of reaction video addicts but, for me, I first became infatuated with a good reaction because it allowed me to once again FEEL, and that word is of utmost importance, to FEEL (what I can only describe as) the spiritual experience I once felt when first hearing something magical such as this cover. To be able to re-live that moment of discovery, wonder, awe and finally pure unmitigated JOY one can experience when they let go of the worlds constraints and allow your spirit to listen. Obviously this alone is enough to motivate me in seeking out new reactions and new reactors. What has been a bi-product of this journey is an even deeper appreciation and a more comprehensive understanding of not only arrangement choices but also of the tremendous amount of pure artistry that can be found in even the simplest performance. I have been a singer all life and from a very young age music has been an integral part of my life and because of that I've always considered myself fairly well versed in vocal performance, ensemble performance and even musical theatre. What I've been delightfully shown, however, in so many reaction videos, by qualified and insightful reactors such as yourself, is that there are so many more reasons to appreciate a piece of musical art. What you have, Jenn, is the best of what I consider to be two types of reactors. One one hand your competence in this area is evident and you continue to point out or bring light to things I'd not yet discovered as well as things I WOULD NOT have discovered at all. On the other hand, you do all that with the same wonder, reverence and humility as any of us might feel, keeping you (for lack of a better word) accessible to the rest of us music lovers regardless of the level of our experience or formal education. For most of us (I suspect), what we seek first in a reaction is the opportunity to re-live the moment when we first heard a given selection. What keeps at least me coming back is a reactor who is insightful, and confident enough to allow themselves to 'feel' in the moment while all the time remaining someone I could feel comfortable geeking out with about music or theatre (or anything for that matter) because that reactor, in this situation YOU Jenn, has never made me feel intimidated or set apart by any differences in knowledge or skill level. In a nutshell, Jenn, I wanted to thank you for continuing to bring me both Joy as well as giving me ample opportunity to cry again if so moved. Keep doing what you are doing, and I wish you nothing but continued and increasing success in doing it because WE'RE HERE FOR IT! (okay I've probably used all my words for the next 10 days so I'll stop there. xD Just wanted to get that off my chest)

VoicePlay does these amazingly epic songs, then turns around and reminds you they can make you cry too. So, SO good. *sniff

I've been campaigning for a Voiceplay collab with EJ and Omar as well as a bass collab with Tim, Avi and Geoff. My dream wish list.

It took me several times listening to this to fully appreciate how amazing it is. The arrangement is just gorgeous. Performances are obviously wonderful too, but the arrangement just slays me. It's fun to watch you react because I basically have the same reaction every time I listen to it and find something new. It's a travesty their video doesn't have more views at this point.

Truly a Master class in harmony, expression, this is truly amazing

I absolutely love this song. I think they did a beautiful job. (but I confess, I would love to hear HF do it, too) This was very emotional and heartfelt. Kudos, Voiceplay! (And to you, Jen, for a great analysis)

I love reaction videos because I love to hear it broken down to appreciate it sooo much more. And I love that you stop so much to fulfill that. You know how to explain in a way to understand. And you found yourself a new subscriber. I am obsessed with VoicePlay. I miss J.None. Lol but this song really made me appreciate Caesar sooo much more. And ELIIIIII. All day every day. They really did this song justice. Such a beautiful rendition. So amazing as are you. And thank you for what you do 🙏☺️❤️

This is so gorgeous, grabs your heartstrings, and never lets go. The guys did such a fabulous blend with it. Everyone needs to hear this in its simplicity, its heartbreak, its pure unadulterated talent. VoicePlay gives so much and I wish the were given the respect and credit they are due. I have listened to VoicePlay's version and all the reactors that have spoken for this. It wows everyone.

We are all right there with you. This rendition is so moving, words cannot do it justice. I guess that's why they chose to sing it. The group as a whole just killed. Oh, and your face when you "nailed" that first note, priceless.

Hi Jenn - first of all, very nice reaction, agreeing with you on the number of views Voiceplay (so far) has gotten for this rendition, but I was wondering if you have reacted to some of the songs where they're working with Deejay Young?!? If you haven't, and you're not overworking yourself, have a crack at "Bang" and "Butter" - or just enjoy them on your own, when there's a five minute break. Both songs are light summer breezes after this beautiful heartbreak - highly recommended, on my part. Cheers!!! ...

Jen: plays chords and says "oh" Jen: carries on Jen: no Me: what just happened?! Jen: oh, ok Jen: carries on Me: huh? 23:22 time stamp

I've watched numerous times...still get chills and cry a little. Truly beautiful and one of my favorites

Surprise! Another Voiceplay snuck in! You caught me there ... talking about EJ and the O Come All Ye Faithful reference. I was puzzled for a couple of seconds and then *click* the light came on! YES! Great memory Jennifer! At 14:07 ... "wrong time to put glasses on". I thought the same thing earlier when you said something about having tissues handy. Those glasses are going to get in the way! 😅 And at 22:09 ... that chord! (And Jennifer's shocked face 😁) THAT is when the theatre sound you mentioned hit me. Really nice cover by Voiceplay and brilliant reaction/analysis by you Jennifer. 😊

Bonnie Raitt sang this song and made it huge. When she sings it you feel teary eye too. I would LOVE to hear VoicePlay and Bonnie Raitt sing this together!

Everyone is so fantastic in this one. Each has a staring moment.

Love watching your videos. Keep up the good work

Love the new glasses. And yes, so glad you extended VoicePlay week.

This may be my favorite song of theirs! It is so moving! I’m recently divorced after 22 years and I begged him to try and work it out, so this hits home to me. 💔 I just found Voiceplay earlier this month and was smitten immediately (especially by Geoff 🥰) I’m working my way back. ❤️‍🩹

I love coming back to videos where Eli shines. Voiceplay has a new one coming that they have yet to announce. As a patreon member I will say it will blow you all away!

I’ve been rewatching this video and everyone’s reactions to this song. Voiceplay did an amazing job! I pray that Bonnie Raitt gets to hear this! 💙

The feelings and emotions conveyed by each member of Voiceplay had me in tears. Such a beautiful song, done so spectacularly.

I watched this video as it went out. Beautiful. I really appreciate how Layne did absolutely no beatboxing, but joined the VV's, blending lovely with the rest. I'm watching it again now. Next to my tissues.

I've seen a few reactions to this and not one has caught Layne going high just before Geoff starts singing! I had to go back to make sure I heard it right. In this video it's at the 20:57 mark at the end of his "I can't make you love me" echo, for lack of a better word.

Fantastic reaction! I love how you could barely talk about what was happening because you were so blown away. That's how all of us felt the first time we heard it.

That was a very moving song. The range and the depth just blew me away. Jen, as usual, your emotions were spot on and enjoyable to watch. I am impressed you caught so many nuances that most people cannot fathom. Love the analysis.

Immaculate singing and arranging and thank you for feeling the song so powerfully with us all ....awesome !

I am so happy you’re done a reaction of this absolutely gorgeous VP version of this classic. Cesar’s intro did bring tears to my eyes. Thank you!

This song breaks me too. I can't even sing along with out tearing up pretty quickly. Your reaction was amazing, so enjoyed it!

Absolutely beautiful! Great reaction!

Those glasses look awesome on you.

Geoff.....crap......body shook, I was very worried because i Love this song from Bonnie...Nice guys.

Thank you so much for adding this to your week, it is such a beautiful, yet heart wrenching song.

Man, an F5 for Eli! No wonder I have trouble with that note when I sing with him!

Not only do we get awesome vocals from VoicePlay, they've become great at telling the story of the song through their video. They filmed group shots but Geoff decided not to use them. Each guy being alone in a room tells the story better. Notice they don't even make eye contact with the camera. They're isolated. Heartbroken. Even more poignant is that Cesar, who suggested this song, is single while all the other guys are married. I haven't wanted to reach through the screen and console someone this much since Geoff did Ain't No Sunshine. Geoff said he hadn't wept this much editing a video since the last one with J. None before he left to join the Navy, Man In the Mirror.

There is a secondary character in this and it is the house itself. Each person is in their own room - alone. Cesar iwho has the lead is in the room with twin beds which is also a lonely place to be. No one looks at the camera,

This is SO gorgeous. Everyone should listen and then check their hearts.

I am a huge Voiceplay fanboy and this is a great rendition. I just don't think anything is going to compare to Teddy Swim's version of this though. VP has gone back to old school acapella for a bit now, I am waiting for another epic one to come out soon. I love the variety they make!

Thank you, Jen, for reacting to this! VoicePlay is such an amazing group and they have such a huge catalog of videos that you could easily do a month of VoicePlay and still not cover their best performances. This song is amazing. I first encountered it from Teddy Swims (amazing video if you haven't seen it) and I love the back story which you probably already know (ask me, if you don't - it's a great story!). I am also a huge fan of EJ and Voctave. And you look wonderful in your new glasses, but you always look wonderful.

I guess with EJ in here, it is a perfect excuse for a Voctave week!!

Omg i m start to thinking you not doing this song but I m glad you actually doing this I love you’re video please continu more and more

if you love this softer Eli, and the rest of the boys in this softer tone two AMAZING songs for you to give an analysis for would be, "I can't help falling in love with you", and "Tennessee whiskey" voice play do an incredible with these as well!!

I know it was for an ad, but those glasses really are flattering. So much to love here-seems like you catch so many things that just float by me-I always appreciate the song so much more. I’ll admit I rarely go back more than once or twice if the song is sad. I don’t like sad movies, either. For me, music and entertainment are an escape from the sad things going on in the world (and sometimes my life). They’re a way to get something more positive going on in my head. That may be why, despite the amazing singing and composition here, the views aren’t doing it justice. My apologies to Voiceplay and crew-that’s just a thing for me and maybe some others. Just guessing.

Outstanding reaction Jen!! I always appreciate the things i learn from each of your reaction vids and this...vid was no exception!! I too, thought that this was a wonderful rendition of this timeless classic by Voice Play!! Maybe even one of their all time best!! Lastly.......i enjoyed your eye glass commercial!! For what its worth young lady....you look especially lovely in your glasses....and that...is saying something because..you always look lovely in all of your clips!! Take care and God Bless!

Great reaction and analysis Jenn !! This has now become one of my, if not my favorite VoicePlay covers. Geoff's arrangement, along with the emotional performance, get's me every time I hear it.

Many other comments said what I was thinking. In particular, though... that final chord is just nuts. I listened to it like 15 times! Geoff on that A flat 1. Dissonant foundation to an insane chord. I can't even guess what that chord would be called! I am officially presenting Geoff with the title, "Dissonance Genius!'

I actually put a trigger warning at the front of my reaction as I knew the subect matter could affect viewers and I had already seen the thumbnails of some reactors which looked like they struggled with this one.

You wish you were talking to someone? How about with someone? A reaction and analysis collab with another KZfaqr would be really neat!

I have tears in my eyes

Jen, I was wandering about youtube and landed here. Your glasses threw me off. Then I heard you speak and I knew it was you. Yes Jen it is handy being able to see. Oh my goodness - YES! Wonderful! So moving.... Special!!! These guys are great. Jen please stop with the sorry, this is your channel. Stop if you need to. This is a beautiful song. If this does not move you, check your pulse. Do you still have one? Great! So good...... Their range is unreal. Most folks cannot do this. Simple, yet complex. Thanks lady.

This is beautiful but for a non acapella version, you really should check out Teddy Swims cover. It’s amazing!

Love those glasses. It really suits you and you look very pretty in them.

Usually your videos are so analytical. It's not often we see you react emotionally to a song.

We're good by voicplay gotta watch that one

I’m starting to love you! 😭

Hey Jenn there’s a guy named David Clayton Thomas, used to lead a group called Blood Sweat and Tears. He has a video of God Bless the Child that’s really special, love to see you react to it!

Great analysis. This piece is beautiful. May be under-appreciated, but it is so well arranged and performed.

I love the VoicePlay cover just as much as I love the original.

Hi Jennifer, please do a reaction video of Voice Plays latest cover song In The Hall Of The Mountain King. You won't believe what they have done with this classical orchestrated piece. Listen to the original symphony version first & you will see how Voice Play used their voices for this one.

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

Love your focus weeks, when are you doing a week of Avi's solo music...I would really love to see that

Cesar is stunning in this.

Great reaction, as always, Jen! It's so much fun to watch you analyzing something that is hitting hard emotionally. I didn't mean to sound mean, but you know what I mean, right?

Always love your reactions, especially the Voiceplay ones! Have you considered reacting to the Bass Gang? They recently released four new songs, each member arranged one of the songs and worked with a different featured artist, and their vocal ranges seem impressive. Some of their music is acapella.

One of my favorite Bonnie Raitt songs...great cover.

Jenn, have you listened to their version of If I Were a Rich Man/Girl? I love it and can listen to it over and over again. It's with Ashley Diane. ( I hope that's right)

Cesar really sold this from the go.....so emotional and with that bass underlying......sigh

Bonnie Raitt and her fans agree that this is a masterpiece.

Eli is my favorite. So are you.

Your title cuts off at an awkward spot lol. Might give new ppl the wrong idea about the channel… :P Really enjoy your reactions and analysis :-) keep up the great work.

Please do Road Trip - VoicePlay

Those glasses and some, more like lots, of hairspray would suit you well in a certain musical set in Baltimore, Hon. 😁

Sorry x7 XD I love how much you got into this!
