Great reaction! We love VioLayne! This song broke so many reactors, it's crazy. Someone thinks it can't be done, Voiceplay says hold my microphone! J. None was recruited to sing with the Navy, but when he's on leave he often comes back and sings with Voiceplay. He may not currently be an official member, but he's definitely a member in spirit and heart!

@@nightthornkvala94132 I totally agree. They and J have been hinting to that happening. They even said their New Year's resolution is to kidnap J 😹. All their fans and reactors want him to come back as well. No one thinks of him as a feature. He's a member that took a hiatus to sing in the navy for 5 years. In the meantime he sings with them when he can.

@carinarodebak9419 Жыл бұрын

You have reacted to JNone at least 6 times by now. He was their baritone 2016-2021, when he was recruited to sing for the Navy on a 5-years contract. Cesar joined when he left. JNone been back with his old buddies on his leaves, for instance in Friends On The Other Side and also a lot of shorts. VP has used the violin once before, 3 years ago in Warriors. Then BOTH Layne and JNone played violin, mostly VioLayne, a nickname he has earned.

A lot of us VoicePlay fans would love to see J None come back to the group, this group of 5 doing this song is just phenomenal. I know they technically are missing the 'high' tenor that Earl contributed, but these guys have such phenomenal ranges that I think it could work. One of the reactors I watched said his only quibble was that J brought 'a little soul' that didn't seem to fit with the rest of the song, which I definitely disagree with! I think it helped him express what the lyrics meant and made him feel and added to the awesomeness.

I think that was an E1. His other drop note was an A1. J None was a member of VoicePlay until the US Navy recruited him for his vocal talents. He came back after bootcamp and did Friends on the Other Side and a mini or short at that time. VP had this one lined up in the fall but J None's leave got cancelled so they put it on hold until he could get here. They also the Chili's comercial, Made You Look as shorts. If you haven't seen Warriors and would to see more of VioLayne and a bit of VioJNone.

@judithboggs2196 Жыл бұрын

Lol....love that you stated there are exceptions to the "no instrumentation" in Acapella. For me, VioLayne invited another voice to add their voice to this epic piece. And, yes, I get chills at this point....especially when Geoff's dragon gutteral shows up. That's a mighty rare occasion when that happens. Just sayin'

@candilunsford2878 Жыл бұрын

An a cappella group could never do Metalli.......never mind. VoicePlay. These guys are going to kill me. Geoff arranged this, but he said Eli did all those high notes to himself and not the way he wrote them.

@janetdw Жыл бұрын

As others pointed out, J isn’t new, but 2 years in the Navy has changed him. He looks and sounds more mature and normally doesn’t sing this low (same for Eli). Definitely recommend Warriors. Layne’s violin is amazing, and because he can, J also plays for part of it. Also, you should treat yourself to listening to Geoff’s recently released Till Then. He somehow combined that low bass with a breathy, soft feel. The height of romance 💘.

@jackyfriedman1963 Жыл бұрын

Till Then tidbit.... Only Geoff and his wife Kathy are at the studio during filming. She makes 2 cameo appearances in the video. Beginning and end. But many on Geoff face (smile and eyes).

I've watched multiple reaction videos to this piece over the last week+. It's an awesomely seamed performance and video! 100% BUT I have yet to find anyone who reacts to Geoff's splash bass notes at the 9:40 and 10:10 mark on your video. The first few times that I heard the video, I was similarly mesmerized by Layne's wonderful violin performance (so nice to see him have the opportunity to show those chops off again!). Only on multiple viewings was I picking up on those crazy bass splashes so perfectly timed. Master arranger!

@marshayoung9387 Жыл бұрын

Some people call it cheating when VioLayne plays the violin in some of their songs. Voice Play broke all the rules when they did this . It makes a particular song better & more engaging. Now other groups such as Pentatonix with their cello's , & Home Free with a guitar have followed in their footsteps.

@lesaahrenstein6360 Жыл бұрын

Kevin from PTX please the cello in their video of shallow which was done fairly early on in their career. You can always tell where In The PTX timeline you are by Mitch's hairstyle and the length of hair. That being said as a medal head the respect that they showed the original is unlike I've ever seen a group do. I've never wanted to know what a group has felt about a cover another group has done with 1 of their songs but this 1 I really really want to know.

I’m glad you got to this-I was looking forward to your reaction. I only wish I could join all the Patreon accounts for channels I love. Right now I’m buried under vet bills for my elderly cat (and a younger one needs an ECG, which won’t be cheap either), and our local energy monopoly just jacked up our gas bills by 54%, when they were already ridiculously high, so I won’t be digging out anytime soon. Sorry!! Like, subscribe and comment is the best I can do to support you guys right now. OH, ETA: that was a big fat E1 sub from Geoff. If you read thru the comments a day or two after a video comes out, there are a couple people who make a point of letting us know the low notes in songs like this. Geoff keeps them busy!! LOL.

So the question I had for you was whether you knew of a way to light J.None a bit better for the distance shots. He was fine in most of the close shots, but not as well lit as I’d like for the distance ones.

Never been on your stream before, but thought I would say early into this reaction....I like the expertise you offer and how quick you are to acknowledge your musical limitation. At least not being pitch perfect. Of course we know all other musicians who react are....right? Also you do not pause, rewind, pause, rewind excessively. That is significant all by itself. Music is to first be listened to, then break down its elements, strengths, weaknesses, techniques, etc. I haven't subscribed yet, but I will continue to like, comment and....well .... we'll see. Btw, Acapella groups are my main interest, but bassist groups as well. Future reference: I am tired of PTX. Over played, over done, choking on sameness. My opinion only. I started listening to them first when Avi Kaplan was their bass, but I became disillusioned by their creative trend after he left. Again, personal preference presented here. There are plenty of other artists and groups for me--The Hu, for example, or Marcin Patrzalek.
