[@peoc6491]

Wow! Kamelot has been my favorite band for about 18 years. I've seen 6 live shows with them here in Sweden through the years. I really love this song and you truly truly nailed it!!! I'm impressed 🤘🏻😈🔥❤️

[@gnuro]

the growl, the operatic voice, the outfit.....my god

[@ArnoVlmt]

OK now you scream... Where will you stop!? Amazing cover Kristin we need more videos now 🤘

[@KristinStarkey]

Only when you help me find a better camera 😆❤

[@NonOtherThanJesse]

@@KristinStarkey It doesn't need be perfect! Visuals are anyways secondary to vocals and the music altogether! Me and certainly many others would be happy with the same quality that you had in this video! But i understand that it is totally you choice what you choose to record and upload!!! Keep on rocking! 🤘

[@KristinStarkey]

@@NonOtherThanJesse Thanks!! After this video I ended up buying a brand new nice camera, but I have to wait a few months for it because of the chip shortage going on...but its coming! Itll also make filming easier and less time-consuming. But thank you!! 😁

[@Gulliolm]

@@KristinStarkey Also, keep in mind that light is even more important than a good camera. So some cheap soft boxes could be useful for your setup

[@KristinStarkey]

@@Gulliolm this was using 2 soft boxes and a ring light...I think its definitely the camera 😅😅

[@Xaldarus]

We need the vocal coaches to start reacting to this now

[@KillerbloodRagnaros]

Brutal!!!!! last year she was the revelation female vocalist of power metal and this year, and with this, I see that she has positioned herself so well in the power metal scene, that I can say that she is one of the best female voices of power metal (if not the best). I had never seen that level of technique in the voices in a female power singer, of perfectly imitating 3 voices with really different tessituras and they all come out perfect. I think it's true what Luca Turilli found when he included Bridget Fogle in his solo power project: The best female voice for a power metal band must have Contralto tessitura!!!! EPICNESS

[@KristinStarkey]

Wow, this is incredibly kind of you to say. Thank you so much 💖🙈

[@pedroteran5885]

There's no way she won't be in an Ayreon album in the future.

[@shredkettle]

Good call. Here's to the future 🍺

[@KristinStarkey]

Oh man, that would be a dream 😍

[@janvervaeke]

@@KristinStarkey well deserved, IMO too ... please see also my other comment, higher ..

[@victorruiz2309]

I really hope this happens in the nearest future. Also, a collaboration with Floor Jansen would be more than amazing.

[@ErikShaferFaelor]

This needs to happen! Only discovered Kristin tonight and I'm in awe.

[@JesterheadSWE]

I like how you nailed both Alissa’s vocals and body language. And ofc the lead vocals too. 10/10 👌

[@IulyaFoodStation]

Goosebumps !!! You're fantastic Kristin !! I love you, I'm glad I met you in reality and that I felt so much modesty expressed by you. Talent, voice of other dimensions beauty and you are wonderful!❤🤘🙋‍♀️

[@KristinStarkey]

You are the sweetest!!! Thanks so much ❤💜❤

[@penguine342]

You can take the woman out of the Opera, but not the Opera out of the Woman! Love it!

[@BobsBikingAdventures]

Saw the 50 years of Metal video, came here pondering, "Yeah, incredible clips, but no way you could keep that up for a full song." I stand 110% corrected! Bravo Kristin! Bravo! 👏👏

[@LorcanWard]

Incredible! Not just singing both male and female parts but having such a range from growls to operatic like power metal vocals.

[@Dobermann1977]

Oh wow goosebumps. Many covers of this song, but that one is brilliant

[@timothyburrows9622]

Seriously how is she not the lead in a symphonic metal band?

[@LeatherStrapsofMomo]

Seriously. She definitely has the voice for it.

[@michpo1445]

lol not everyone wants to be in a symphonic metal band

[@Unusualtiktok]

Power Metal Band better

[@joannaraymond1771]

If she wanted to, she definitely would be!

[@SupraBot78]

Indeed. Nightwish level band would be perfect for her.

[@msscarlettraven1388]

I can not bring my jaw back up from the floor. WOW!!!

[@HanAvitohol]

Probably the best cover of this song I have heard so far! Respect!

[@Redfield70]

This woman has it ALL! A STAR THROUGH AND THROUGH!

[@Corro_Dedd]

Wow, your Voice range and your skills in different techniques are awesome! I hope to see more of you in metal projects in the future!

[@saltyratt0es]

I stumbled across your channel and oh my gosh! You’re voice is absolutely amazing, you really inspire me to use more of my chest voice and try challenging things while singing. Thank you!

[@uziquattro1083]

Been waiting!, glad you're getting more content out!

[@MaryJade]

Wow that is some impressive versatility. 😮 This is awesome!

[@IJebronLamesI]

It’s the slow ascension with just a hint of raspiness on that high note at 4:43 that got me. ❤

[@junkpunchhero]

The last stretch, *chef's kiss*.. pure passion! have a SUB.. fantastic!

[@michaelanderson4849]

Yaaaay! We got both demon Kristin and angel Kristin in the same song. And, as usual, the tone of your voice is smooth like honey.

[@AIgeneratedAlien]

Wow, just got to know you from Temperance last official video but what a voice! Amazing perfomance! You're also charming and beautiful! Hail from Brazil \m/

[@dianeaishamonday9125]

Dang, that's a real contralto!! You are amazing!!

[@Akeldama117]

Such a great cover! Really want to see whats next! Loved your Avenged covers with BradleyHall/Guitar

[@JackPecker911]

Please keep making more covers, your voice and energy is absolutely amazing

[@KimiiiRaikkonen]

5:07-5:13 The right part gave me asmr. This is amazing

[@PersephoneSkye_]

I love the the depth of your voice! Has a power metal-esque vibe to it! (Keep hearing Unleash the Archers in my head). And of course, Kamelot is always a great choice, especially this song :)

[@natewolf9123]

Wow, what a stunning performance! You have such a unique, incredible, and dynamic voice! This cover is on point and I can't wait to hear the next song!

[@thenuad]

Spectacular!

[@waltermatt3889]

Most beautiful for me!Thanks for that!!!💖👌🤘👍

[@aeronzero]

Here because of Bradley Hall. Love your voice !

[@complexredneck]

Hands down one of the best vocalists I have ever heard...and gorgeous! 🤘🤘🤘

[@karstenvaljak7999]

well, what can i say? That was an outstanding cover to say at least. Greetings from crazy krautland.

[@lixtetrax7]

You deserve a lot more recognition! I really hope you start posting regularly so you build a loyal fan base and become more well known. Good luck!

[@grevlisserra8949]

You did my favorite song with epica flawlessly but this its just mind blowing, your growls and unclean vocals are as the comment said below - smooth like honey, next, Ghost Love Score, please or Scaretale...ox-G

[@stephaneg.7373]

Really impressive vocal skills range. And you radiate so much energy ... thank you.

[@otundetchagala9560]

This is what people like to call - "the full package".

[@spencer2396]

Such power in your voice! Great job, Kristin, I'm blown away as usual!

[@paulm8908]

tommy is a tough act to follow. great job Kristin!!!

[@thomaskoeppel6506]

Wow! That was outstanding! Beautiful! I must hear more.

[@arcaneoddity]

Goosebumps. That's all I'm saying. Hot damn

[@aarong3899]

😳 F**k yea!!! New logo, different profile pic and some badass growls. Perfect. The only way I listen to power metal is if you sing it. You’re gonna make all the power metal singer guys cry alone n the shower while rocking back and forth in the fetal position with that voice!🤘🏻Can’t wait to see what’s next.

[@KristinStarkey]

Hahaha!! 😆 thanks so much!! And thanks for noticing the new logo too - I think it came out so cool!!

[@salva0922]

Beautiful and talented

[@enricocarta9429]

Amazing voice and great performance 👏👏👏

[@Wrackey]

Came here from Skar's channel, and have no regrets. What an amazing diversity and skill. Subbed.

[@NakamuraRTS]

Just found your channel through the Bradley Hall collab. Is there anything you can't do? If you commit, you'll be the next Floor Jansen. 👏

[@CLRugal]

That's incredible! Omg

[@galgrunfeld9954]

What the hell, you can now also growl?! From being clasically trained and fully focused on operatic music, I'm amazed by your transition in such little time. Just how much time do you spend practicing? That's amazingly fast to be able to do such different singing and so well! *Eespecially* in positioning with this level of clarity and control. I'm currently taking development lessons to sing better as a hobby so what I'm starting to know just how much time and effort it takes to get to your level, *especially* in such little time, and especially having muscle strength, control and use in quite a different style of singing that can have quite different requirements. I've listened to some of the best singers in the world in terms of technique and versatility (e.g Dimash Kudaibergen), and you're slowly but *definitley* making your way there with a focus on metal which I personally is something I'm yearning to listen to. I absolutely loved the cover and am looking for more.

[@TheMusicalPotatoes]

Tons of classically trained singers go into metal but rarely do any stand out like this and even more rarely do they sound so good in such a wide range. Most of the singers belting the high power metal stuff don't have much of a low range and vice versa but you're just good at....all areas. Did you practice this stuff throughout your life or did you really come straight from opera (I assume you're a contralto there?) into this? Either way it's impressive, metal is a tough genre. I've seen a lot of classically trained singers come to metal, but unable to adapt and perform in it. You however are quickly becoming one of the best I've ever seen. I really hope you join or feature in a good band and create some new amazing songs ^^

[@KristinStarkey]

Thank you so so much!! I've been a lifelong metal fan, but honestly never thought I'd be able to make something of it. I went to school for opera, finishing a doctorate in it. For years it seemed to me the only legit avenue to make a living off of singing - and I did fall in love with that too - but metal has always been closest to my heart. Both are incredibly dramatic and I love it 😆. The pandemic really cut off opera jobs for me, so I thought it was a good time to take the plunge and actually record/make videos showing my "secret" metal technique 😆. I'm thrilled people are enjoying it, and I'm enjoying it too! I hope to find a balance of working in both areas in the future...and yes, I'm a contralto 😊

[@TheMusicalPotatoes]

@@KristinStarkey Awesome! So the pandemic was good for something after all :D The classical training is obvious, but it still would've been insane if you were this good in metal if you never practiced that. You definitely have something unique going, contraltos are quite rare in the genre as it is, it's mostly sopranos and some mezzos. And the diversity is a huge plus. Would love to nerd out more about technique but I'm not going to xD Main thing is, definitely develop further in this sphere and I hope you find that combination of both worlds that you're looking for (maybe join a symphonic metal band or metal opera?). Can't wait to hear more!

[@evilemuempire9550]

Not to mention the growls, the only classical singer I can think of who’s done them was Floor Jansen, and not many at that

[@Alilolilou]

omg the growling caught me by surprise, you can do everything it's crazy

[@Fishsticks360]

I love the original song and now I love your cover. Bravo.

[@DN1977]

I found you because of temperance. I think Pastorino and Temperance did the best deal of their job. And their followers too. Amazing, really. What a voice. See us in Milano.

[@Shadyworks68]

🤯😱😵‍💫If you ever make a metal album i will buy it without question you are really amazing🔥🔥🔥

[@emiliomedina4501]

Beautiful voice! 🎶♥

[@BlutigeTranen]

Fabulous vocals! I love female vocalists in an operatic metal setting and you absolutely kill it!

[@iceman92xiv56]

OMG! This is my favourite Kamelot song for sure and wow, you nailed it! I wasn't expecting you to cover the "Alyssa part", but that was really cool and I'm soooo impressed! Thanks for covering this one!

[@marth922]

This was fantastic!

[@HeavyGuerrero]

your way of singing is incredible and you are very beautiful.

[@estefrutos]

god, I've just discovered you and your voice is so epic, absolutely amazing, I'm in love. and it's so hard for me to enjoy female voices in metal. I really hope you join a symphonic metal band soon

[@IsakAidee]

Wow... she annunciated the growling parts so well I actually heard what she said. I've kind of just mumbled through the "heavy crown" part. I'm not a native english speaker so I've often had trouble identifying the words in songs, even though after I know the lyrics I'm like "ah yeah of course"

[@lepsa8323]

Holy shit, super impressive!! Didn't expect those growls!

[@deadmous3]

You are so talented. You deserve more visibility...

[@joemusicman64]

What a voice and range.

[@eamonahern7495]

I love your taste in music

[@curs790]

O_o awesome, perfect, i can`t believe that1s possible: such an impeccable sound from the beginning to the end of the track. Thank you!)

[@JackKastor]

This is life-affirming stuff, thank you!

[@JSchellergJ]

Girl, you already are a metal goddess. Keep rocking

[@chgymnastics]

You certainly did this song justice 🙂 awesome job!

[@_sobral]

This song feels so different that I'm having goosebumps!

[@jamesdelbridge7882]

Incredible as usual!

[@SEPHEIROT]

You should be in Nightwish or something like that . You are awesome

[@lucacomello1353]

You are a true force of nature, your voice breaks through my heart you make me fly. I can no longer be without your Voice. Thank you very much 🤘🏻

[@XHateXCrew]

What!? Now kamelot? Wow, amazing!!!! More power!!!! Keep rockin'🤘🤘 what's next?

[@CosmicKristen]

Absolutely amazing! Nailed it

[@saadslasli724]

Beautiful voice !!

[@shredkettle]

Kristin! We want more uploads! I've been binging your uploads but there needs to be more!

[@rainydayaudio]

Beautiful and powerful and heavy as hell. You’re perfect.

[@EszterJurancsik]

Such a beautiful voice!❤

[@ramue5749]

Was wondering when we would see a new cover from you. Your vocal work is truly inspired!

[@axepackermusic8636]

Excellent !!!!!

[@joncordobaguitarrista]

Wowwwww magic amazing!!!!!!!! congratulations!!!!!!!!

[@eternalwings]

KRISTIN YOU RULE

[@SupraBot78]

How can a metal woman outshine all Tarja, Floor and Tatiana (at least Lauten) at the same time? You are a legend Kristin.

[@MaximillianGreil]

How does this not have more views?!

[@falconheart21]

You have an amazing vocal range and control! I would love to hear you cover something from Nightwish, when Tarja was the lead. You're one of the first artists I've heard on here that I think could do it justice.

[@bonnylad1651]

Oh my.. Such a lovely pair of.. Lungs.

[@rafaelrigatto8643]

impressive!

[@guerreroluz400]

Guttural voice??? 😮 Wow!!! 😲 Magnificent blend!!! 💪 As always, is a pleassure to hear your voice!!! 😍 Killer logo, by the way!!! 🤘

[@deezjef722]

your lower register is absolutely insane, so full and rich

[@cher6932]

Very strong.and powerful.

[@JoeBidensAdderall]

I wish I liked this kind of music. It’s always a novelty listen for me which is a shame. Great stuff. Great singing.

[@TheCreepypro]

blows me away how good this is!

[@barryfilter2364]

Impressive vocal skills.

[@rasenshuriken9076]

Those deeper notes and the growling got me all tingly. I knew you could pull 'em off, but damn, you're getting better with every video and I love it!

[@KirylMaushuk]

Great cover! Keep it up. Powerful voice, and an immense vocal range. \m/

[@Rodrigo93vg]

And now I'd like to propose a toast to the new metal queen =D

[@reni_papp]

you have a fantastic voice I love it 🖤💜🖤💜🌷

[@dr.blubolt250]

WOW! I am blown away by your awesomeness!!!! I rather like your version better than the original. Thank you!!
