Ayreon - The Eye Of Ra (Vocal Coach Reaction Video)

[@sascharuthsch831]

The highest notes were sung bei Marcela Bovio and the incredible Mike Mills! I was on that side of the stage where Mike stood and I could hear hin...it was awesome!

[@LuisRosa72]

Mike's range is absolutely insane!

[@Green-Lyon]

Wish I could have been standing right there alongside you. What a show!

[@RolandDeschain1]

Marcela can be heard above everyone. She's amazing.

[@Dianen65]

so much talent on that stage... and great people too......

[@thomasmikel3566]

Marcela Bovio, awesome powerhouse from Mexico. She has incredible range and power. Love everything she's done.

[@Astaroth236]

This is probably the most overqualified chorus I ever seen. I can't imagine how amazing this whole concert would feel there in the front of the crowd.

[@renevw5812]

It was amazing !

[@antivanti]

Whatever religion offers this choir as the greeting to the afterlife is the one I'd sign up for ☺️

[@ecthelion1735]

Ancient Astronaut Theory

[@michaelsargeant4993]

Floor is so proud of her sister. Both wonderful people and so humble .

[@aaronbarlow4376]

I thought she looked like Floor. It makes sense now.

[@04me93]

Not only do you give good analysis and good content, you d more Ayreon content than the other reactors. I love it so much

[@MaHa-py4ys]

Ok, couple of reactions mentioning Marcela Bovio, so here's a shameless plug by me: she is releasing an EP with her new project Dark Horse White Horse (progressive metal). There are two vids out there for that EP: Black Hole (kzbin.info/www/bejne/goSnmnl-ZbSeZ68 ) and Judgement Day (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKi9f6qjl9yLiLc). The last song deals with her feelings after hearing she got cancer (thank God she recovered from that).

[@christinaalgate4899]

I really like her voice. I liked her acoustic version of Like a Stone by Chris Cornell.

[@greywuuf]

You know Marcella from "valley of the queens" .. dude the sheer mass of Ultra high level singers on that stage was in danger of causing rifts in dimensions.

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

Marcella arranged a lot of the vocal harmonies for this concert.

[@justdave9610]

Michael Mills with his magnificent high falsetto is the one voice that cuts through the most for me personally

[@sphinyal8758]

Michael Mills is so goddamn underrated! If you aren't aware as I wasn't till last week he does stream on twitch!

[@Hydrangea1971]

I was thinking that it was Michael too!

[@LordAJ12345]

Same. Mike is amazing. He might be the most underrated male vocalist in the entire genre.

[@soon_to_emerge]

Also, for me the biggest heroes of this show are three ladies as back vocals (Irene Jansen, Marcela Bovio and Lisette van der Berg) Other vocalists pop here and there while these three just do their thing during the whole concert.

[@monatoetje]

Should react to Scarlet Stories

[@ultrazineSWE]

@@monatoetje +1

[@soon_to_emerge]

@@monatoetje agreed

[@papaverweg]

She shines even more together with Anneke and Floor perform ‘The Valley of the Queens’. She sung that song years before (together with her younger sister) in Arjen’s ex-band ‘Stream of Passion’

[@patricschoenaker]

@@monatoetje Ohhh absolutely. Scarlet Stories is amazing... and Lisette is amazing!

[@palantir135]

This song was written after Arjen saw the movie Stargate Marcella solo: out in the real world by Stream of Passion. Or same song in The second Ayreon live concert. Don’t forget the rest of the second live concert: The electric castle live and other tales.

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

Yes, the Star One albums (which are not part of the Ayreon cycle as such, but still Arjen's project) have songs inspired by various sci-fi movies - the most recent album focuses on time travel movies for instance, with songs inspired by Bill & Ted, Terminator etc.

[@ginne7268]

This symphonic metal awesomeness . Even the so called background singers are world class on their own.

[@FemaleMetalLover]

Marcela is shredding! I hear her crystal clear when ALL of them sing combined. She is objectively in my opinion, the most talented - and I do not even consider her a favourite at all, but I will give her that credit.

[@crabuki1273]

You probably know already, but her work with (and without) Arjen and Lori in Stream of Passion is really quality. This song, "Passion," has such interesting melodic choices (and bonus Bovio, her little sister is singing backup). kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX3VZ4JrrpKonbs

[@Kullioking]

that does only show that she doesent know how to turn her selfe down with her voice or if they had personised mices that the soundgay is to stupid to turn her volium down.

[@crabuki1273]

@@Kullioking Seems like you might've had a bad day. I hope tomorrow is better for you. She's a professional musician with hundreds of live performances, so I'm going to assume she knows what she's doing. This was cleaned up in post-production for the DVD, after all, so what we're hearing is what Arjen intended.

[@LuisRosa72]

This was the closing song on the Universe concert, which is why literally all of the guests came back onstage for the grand finale. And in case you're curious about Arjen's voice, he also sang co-lead on Amazing Flight In Space during that same show! He also sang lead on several songs in the Electric Castle Live shows of 2019.

[@typeomaiden4038]

I cant wait to see what song they use for this big, everyone on stage, moment next year for the 30th Anniversary show!

[@Esmeagolly]

What a group... Arjen sure knows how to pick them and make them shine! And they deserve every ounce of praise. Ps. Damien never seizes to give me all the chills

[@marcel021065]

Again you make every video more fun and better with the reaction, and for me everything with Floor, Marco or Nightwish makes my day great, thanks for this one

[@mandje2002]

If you want to attend an Ayreon concert you have to have a lot of patience, maybe 1 weekend every 2 years (if you are lucky) that there is one and then you also have to get a ticket (the two previous times the tickets were sold out in half an hour)

[@mandje2002]

and take a trip to the Netherlands.

[@sphinyal8758]

Also I just subscribed because you called me out like that at the end :D hope for more ayreon reactions or any of his talented musicians he choses.

[@TheSeeking2know]

Nice music. The differences in the vocal production and styles in really cool to hear in the same song. Also feeling the drum work as well! 👍

[@renevliex557]

Love the ending. It's like a metal version of band aid. 👍👍

[@andreaspedersen3952]

You also has to remember that Mike Mills have a sick range and a super-high male falsetto. Pretty sure i heard him too.

[@luigimeloni74]

You should try to watch some "Stream of Passion" videos from the "Live in the real world" concert. Marcela Bovio on violin and vocals, her sister on backing vocals, Arjen Lucassen on guitar. In the concert they play also various Ayreon songs, for example this version of "Valley of the Queens" kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3vKpZuhm92JoMU

[@mndoci]

Yes please. that was so good.

[@terryminator4208]

Yeesss!! The Jansen sisters! Floor and Irene!! 🔥👍🤘😁🤪. They sing so beautiful together. And they are so beautiful. Inside and out. And I see Marco in there also.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

I love ,when i see Floor and Irene together. The Jansen Gang.🤗

[@mnewm21]

Arjen sings in this concert but only on An Amazing Flight in Space where he plays his space hippy from Electric Castle! I think it might be his eponymous song ...I very much thinks he sees himself as the hippie in space :D

[@robynturnham2706]

Arjen has a really nice voice. You should hear some of his vocal. He has a side project that is all him - 'Lost In The The New Real' which is fantastic

[@sphinyal8758]

Marcelas talent is INCREDIBLE! Her backing vocals during the whole concert are insane, they are super operatic during the "ride the comet" performance. But still Mike Mills alias Toehider is my ayreon hero musician. Maybe you can check out his live version of his song "whatever makes you feel superior"he got on his channel. Hes just showing off his talent :)

[@pdutchie4924]

Great to see you loved it so much. Hope we can do the ‘Universe’ concert as a whole with the discord group soon. 🙏🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

[@gork8468]

Interesting note on the genetic component of a voice I hadn't really thought about for singing. Kind of explains how good the Jackson 5 and other big sibling groups sound singing together.

[@papaverweg]

Yes, that’s Marcela. Remember Ayreon ‘The Valley of the Queens’ trio together with Anneke and Floor. Also worth to watch Ayreon: ‘Isis and Osiris’ live in Tilburg NLD 2019 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGe8d5Wdgt-ekLs

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

I believe this is about the Stargate series .

[@Qwarzz]

I love those industrial robots swinging light beams around

[@soon_to_emerge]

Marcela is wonderful. Check Stream of Passion or MaYan to hear her more.

[@ohmagdalena]

Or her new project Dark Horse White Horse. Song "Judgement day" is awesome.

[@soon_to_emerge]

@@ohmagdalena thanks for heads up

[@khosani1726]

Marcella is such an unsung hero of the genre. She beat ovarian cancer last year, I think. Arjen did a solo project with her as the main (only?) vocalist. Stream of Passion. Check it out. I'm surprised a blackhole didn't emerge there on stage from all that massive talent there. HOLY JEEBZ.

[@RolandDeschain1]

That first Stream of Passion record is in my top five of all time.

[@khosani1726]

@@RolandDeschain1 Embrace the Storm is FANTASTIC.

[@MechMonstrosity]

Marcela is wiiidely underrated! You should watch The Theory of Everything Live by Ayreon, she's absolutely wonderful

[@ultrazineSWE]

"I honestly can't imagine putting on a show without involving Marcela... she's simply the best!" /Arjen Lucassen

[@anpunefru]

That was such a great show as was into the electric castle live seen both twice as once is never enough. Front row for both such an experience only Arjen can bring together.

[@vero9177]

Such a treat!. When you cannot choose which singer you want to hear, you just listen to Ayreon you'll have it all (thanks to Arjen) Yeah! wow, reacting to Beste Zangers, Og3ne, and last but not least Ayreon. Your focus is on the The Netherlands !? (no wonder, haha). Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@nixellion]

That high-voice in the finale's harmony that Marcela is producing is part of the original harmony from 2014's "Star One The Eye of Ra" concert, Floor was singing the high notes in the original. Of course it was not as epic of an ending there, with only the base band on stage, without all the other singers of Ayreon. But what was epic in that 2014's concert was the long s-s-straight like a line note produced by Damian Wilson in the beginning of this song, if here he sustained it for 8-ish seconds, back in 2014 it was whole 12.

[@honzazaloudek1883]

You like sound of singing siblings on stage? You like Ayreon? You like Marcela Bovio? Check out another Arjen's live show - Stream of Passion - Live in The Real World from 2006 having Marcela Bovio and her sister Diana on stage 😎 For example song Computer Eyes 🙂

[@keeskloost6977]

The greatest line-up on the stages in history.

[@572Btriode]

That was truly excellent Charlie, thank you. For once I noticed the whole audience was in time and neither sped up or slowed down, not a common occurrence !

[@TJMiton]

Such a great Stargate tribute :)

[@mosmeijler3089]

Metal version of "we are the world"

[@ShadowhispersBand]

Good luck with going to an Ayreon concert. Apparently there will be a few around september 15th in 2022. But you have to be quick on getting tickets... Really quick... Btw. More Marcela please... You got the choice: MaYaN, Dark Horse White Horse, Stream of Passion or her solo works. Amazing singer and such a lovely person.

[@jackshaftoe21]

"They even have the composer up there" - believe it or not, Arjen can actually sing pretty well - for instance kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWfVc3uXhNKLg9E And yeah, Marcela is awesome and the amount of talent on this stage is ridiculous

[@derpip4325]

guess its marcella and mike in the chours. they are so awsome together in the same concert they sung the therorie of everything. its so worth to listen to that duett. mean every song from that concert is just so good but i like the duett

[@renevw5812]

I wonder what they are going to do with his latest album in real concert Transitus. If you bought the Vinyl you have a real Comic next to the album. But what a line up.

[@brockr6795]

Marcela Bovio! Wow, woman!

[@davidhansen2748]

FWIW, Irene's name is pronounced something like ee-RAYN-eh.

[@aris8332]

Please more Marcela, do the Monster take, next to the Christmas tree. Somewhere in the middel there is a very long note, going up and down a bit. This note, I call a cry. The song is about the record company, how they became a monster, but the layer beneath is that Mexico, or more the criminals in Mexico have become a monster with all the killings. In this long note she does a vocal movement that sounds to me very Hispanic/Mexican. So my interpretation is that with the length and strength of this cry she is telling how bad it is and with the special vocal effect she points at Mexico. I am not a vocalist and if my interpretation is wrong please tell me your vision.

[@shoemaker688]

Second singer sounds like Ronnie James Dio. He probably would like to be in his too. And there's a buch of talent on that stage. Wauw!

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Oh I hear it!

[@marlonvanwijland1428]

If i remember correctly, He does Dio "tribute" shows. I've seen him do one at the Rock cafe bar stage at Graspop festival in 2019. (Same festival Ayreon played in 2018)

[@sonjaschweinsberger1637]

Marcela Bovio is so fantastic! Unfortunelly she's super underratimetied for the metal fans!

Now this is a powergroup.

[@khellendross3573]

Nice, probably my favorite song about Stargate. Granted its probably the only metal song about Stargate. But its a good one! Marcela is so damn talented.

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Michael Mill the Australian Singer Watch carefully he is hitting the really high notes and he's a dude lol! But really check out other Ayreon songs and you'll see how high this man can hit almost ear piercing.

[@sphinyal8758]

No thats clearly Marcella on top. Mike doesn't look like he is reaching very high, he looks super relaxed.

Definitely Marcela! She did a great cover (!?) with MaYan of monolith of doubt by after forever!
