APAP 2014 — VoicePlay live performances
When the VoicePlay guys made their annual trip to NYC for the 2014 Association of Performing Arts Professionals conference, they also did an off-site show at Stage 48 (now HK Hall). It was part regular concert and part shakedown cruise. Emoni Wilkins was about to join them for the upcoming Sing-Off tour, so they wanted to try out some possible songs for their new setlist. It was also a bit of a reunion. The ladies of Element welcomed the boys to their hometown by opening for them.

This song got a fantastic reception when they performed it on The Sing-Off, so it's no surprise that they wanted to get it tour-ready. Tweaking the arrangement to make it less of a solo piece was a great decision.
Details:
title: Play That Funky Music
original performers: Wild Cherry
written by: Rob Parissi
arranged by: VoicePlay
My favorite bits:
turning the lead vocal into a duet / duel between Eli and Emoni that is super fun
simplifying the choreography for a smaller stage
Layne's tasty beat under the rap section
"Uh-uh, baby."
the riff tutorial bit
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Trivia:
VoicePlay originally performed this song on the second episode of The Sing-Off with Honey Larochelle.
They later recorded this arrangement with Emoni for the deluxe edition of their "Collide" album of collaborations with other competitors from The Sing-Off season 4.

This clip cuts off before the big finish, but what he did get is darn entertaining. Heck, this song is always a blast when VoicePlay performs it, because their interactions are always a little different.
Details:
title: Elvira
original performers: The Oak Ridge Boys
written by: Dallas Frazier
arranged by: Geoff Castellucci
My favorite bits:
both Eli and Tony prodding Earl to take the lead, and Earl being a little extra forceful with Geoff about it
Tony working the audience during his solo
the "Earl can go deep, too" gag gets me every time 😆
Eli doing the "I see you" gesture at someone in the audience
Earl running out of steam on the long note sooner than usual and having some off-mic banter with Geoff about it
Tumblr media
"You know it's live when our faces look like that. #HighNotesHurt"
Trivia:
VoicePlay haven't released a studio version of this song to the public because it's such a live performance piece, but there is an audio recording available to their Patreon supporters.
They didn't end up including this in their setlist for the first Sing-Off tour, but it did make the cut for the second.
.
youtube
This is the roughest of the songs from that night, and a pretty good indication of why they didn't include it in their setlist for the tour. It definitely has some great moments, but the arrangement they'd tailored to Honey's voice just wasn't as comfortable for Emoni, and that's okay. That's what shakedowns are for.
Details:
title: Lady Gaga medley – ARTPOP
original songs / performer: all songs by Lady Gaga – "Aura"; [0:30] "Venus"; [1:14] "Do What U Want" featuring Christina Aguilera; [2:09] "Gypsy"; [2:24] "Applause"
written by: all songs by Stefani "Lady Gaga" Germanotta & collaborators – "Aura" with Anton "Zedd" Zaslavski, Erez Eisen, & Amit Duvdevani; "Venus" with Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair, Hugo Pierre "Madeon" Leclercq, Dino Zisis, Nick Monson, and Sun Ra; "Do What U Want" with R. Kelly, Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair, Martin Bresso, & William Grigahcine; "Gypsy" with Hugo Pierre "Madeon" Leclercq, Nadir "RedOne" Khayat, & Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair; "Applause" with Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair, Dino Zisis, & Nick Monson
arranged by: Layne Stein
My favorite bits:
Earl's smirk when he sings ♫ "garden panties" ♫ 😏
the little swell on the final ♫ "this could be looove" ♫
Eli's smooth diction through the rap section
their cohesion on the record-skip effect
the choreographed spins to draw attention to each singer as they layer into "Gypsy"
Tony getting into his groove during "Applause" with that pop timbre and those body rolls
the little ramp-up sound Layne makes going into the final section
Trivia:
VoicePlay originally recorded this medley with Honey Larochelle as part of their "Collide" album of collaborations with other Sing-Off season 4 competitors.
.
youtube
Now this arrangement was (quite literally) made for Emoni's voice and it shows. I'm sure not having to learn it from scratch made things much easier. This clip is missing the very beginning, but it's still a great time.
Details:
title: Can't Believe It
original performers: Flo Rida, featuring Pitbull [NOTE: The original lyrics and video are a fair bit racier than VP’s version.]
written by: Tramar "Flo Rida" Dillard, Armando "Pitbull" Pérez, Mike Caren, Luca Ciampi, Breyan Isaac, William Lobban-Bean, & Alexander Williams
arranged by: Layne Stein, Geoff Castellucci, & Hannah Juliano
My favorite bits:
seeing what choreography they added, since they were sitting in the original video
Geoff's meaty "wub-wub"s during the breakdown section
the boys obediently (and a little goofily) following Emoni's instructions from the lyrics
that big old riff
♫ "Boop." ♫
Layne's rhythmic shoulder wiggle as the others sing ♫ "how big that booty is" ♫
that smooth ending

I actually have other art I’m supposed to post, but after yesterday’s set from Madeon and him striking a pose during Miracle, you can’t expect me to not draw that.
It’s nothing too special, I just really liked the pose he did in front of the visuals.

A tiny PRINCE!!!! Madeon has been a big inspiration and driving force when i draw haha, always got his music going off as I complete artworks. And with the release of THE PRINCE, I have decided to draw more Madeon content! I won’t promise it will be a lot but there definitely be future artworks!

Guys, I'm just watching one of madeon's interview right now. Around the 10:45 mark, Madeon and the interviewer are talking about how he keeps in good health for preforming and Hugo mentions among other things that he stopped smoking "j'ai arrêté de fumer". Some might think that it's not such a big deal but I'm super proud of him!! Btw I'm bilingual (french and English) so if you guys want a short translation for anything in the future please do not hesitate to hit me up and I'll try to translate it as accurately as possible (it's my first time doing this on the internet and not with my friends, so please go easy on me) 💛✨

ARTPOP medley — VoicePlay music video
youtube
Is it any surprise that the theater kids of a cappella were drawn to the performance art queen of 2010s pop music? One might say a match between them was inevitable. And Honey was the perfect collaborator for the songs in this medley.
Details:
title: Lady Gaga medley – ARTPOP (feat. Honey Larochelle)
original songs / performers: all songs by Lady Gaga – "Aura"; [0:32] "Venus"; [1:18] "Do What U Want" featuring R. Kelly**; [2:10] "Gypsy"; [2:26] "Applause"
written by: all songs by Stefani "Lady Gaga" Germanotta & collaborators – "Aura" with Anton "Zedd" Zaslavski, Erez Eisen, & Amit Duvdevani; "Venus" with Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair, Hugo Pierre "Madeon" Leclercq, Dino Zisis, Nick Monson, and Sun Ra; "Do What U Want" with R. Kelly, Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair, Martin Bresso, & William Grigahcine; "Gypsy" with Hugo Pierre "Madeon" Leclercq, Nadir "RedOne" Khayat, & Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair; "Applause" with Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair, Dino Zisis, & Nick Monson
arranged by: Layne Stein
release date: 7 December 2013
** Lady Gaga has re-recorded "Do What U Want" with Christina Aguilera and replaced the original R. Kelly version on streaming services in light of multiple abuse accusations against him.
My favorite bits:
the colors of the guys' paint-drip shirts and Honey's hair making a complete rainbow
the combination of Geoff's bass line and Honey's sultry alto melody starting things low and sparse, with room to expand
Layne using a lot of breathy sounds in his percussion, which creates a sense of anticipation
the staccato repeated syllables giving it an almost electronic sound
their stripped down take on "Gypsy" that feels more intimate and personal than the original
that big swell leading into the final section
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Trivia:
The gang (particularly Layne) worked pretty fast on this production. The first single from ARTPOP, "Applause", was released in mid-August, and most of the other songs featured here were rolled out over the next several weeks. But "Gypsy" wasn't available until the full album was released on November 6th. And this wasn't the only thing they were working on during that month, not by a long shot.
Giving Tony the lead on the beginning of "Applause" is kind of ironic in hindsight, since he later admitted on a PattyCake livestream that he doesn't really like being the center of attention, and feels much more comfortable working behind the scenes.

Didn’t have anything properly prepared for Madeon’s birthday because my brain juices were spent on Nurture, so here’s a general happy birthday doodle for the good man.  Look at him, he’s celebrating with a little party favour.
