Seventh Wonder is such an underrated band.. Their album mercy falls is easy in my top 5 albums..

[@Anton-F-B]

Word!

And Tiara too

[@mastersystem80]

Totally agreed! fantastic album, tons of emotion, making an epic history about casual things of human nature... Fantastic vocal lines, they deserved a little bit better production, but anyway is an incredible album

FINALLY someone is doing Seventh Wonder in the reaction world!! I've been suggesting it for like a year on every Ayreon or Kamelot video I see haha. Agree with @Jony that the Mercy Falls album is a phenomenal showcase of Tommy's vocal talent

[@rupbhatt]

That album is a total emotional roller coaster

Thank you Alyssa, and never give up trying!

There was actually a reactor i saw who has done both The Great Escape (just the song) and Mercy Falls probably 2 years ago. Can't find it unfortunately.

[@antti-jussikemppainen305]

I'd like to see you jump straight to the deep end and react to The Great Escape. A masterpiece in musicianship and writing. The song will take you on a journey few songs can.

She would have a blast with the song "The Great Escape" Total vocal acrobatics all throughout that song. love it!!!

[@iiXalexXii]

[@Hikdin]

That would make nearly an hour long reaction video. But I won't be complaining 😃

[@antti-jussikemppainen305]

@@Hikdin Or possibly two 45min reactions. The songs parts would support the division into two.

[@franzvezuli]

The Great Escape is the pinnacle of Seventh Wonder. Tommy's best range in display. Not enough could be said about the backup vocals too. A masterwork of instrumentation by everyone. And a human story to boot. It is a 30min song. But if Elizabeth can pull it off, it will be "The Greatest Musical Journey".

[@TemporalShrew]

Asking you to react to their song “The Great Escape” is prooooobably a little much to ask, but I *do* suggest you at least listen to it on your own time! It’s one of the best showcases of Tommy’s voice *and* of the entire band’s talent, it’s just… quite long.

[@danclarke29]

It’s one of the few long songs in Prog that actually NEEDS to be as long as it is.

[@danoliver3053]

@@danclarke29 I agree. There are no unnecessary filler sections like you get in some really long songs, and no silence or fading in/fading out. It's actually 30 minutes of great music.

[@evancampbell7048]

[@Sunedosa]

Please listen to it, it's so amazing !

[@bigg2988]

I will be laconic on this: YES, please!

[@Ashestothestar]

Seventh Wonder is one of my favorite progressive metal band (in the melodic and emotional style). Tommy has a lot more free field to express himself than in Kamelot, and his talent is really amazing (note that he is self-taught). The album Tiara is a concept imagined by the band, which is the continuation of their longest song, The Great Escape (30 mn!), adaptation on the previous album of a poem named Aniara, by the Swedish author Harry Martinson, Nobel Prize for Literature. The technique of the bassist and the guitarist, allied to the terribly evocative voice of Tommy, are to die for ! Great choice for the voice, but the other musicians do their best in the electric way.

[@anttisaamanen2398]

Tiara is something of a thematic sequel to Great Escape/Aniara, I think. Probably also inspired by Greta Thunberg, I'd imagine. And Aniara is referenced in the lyrics to (iirc) Tiara's Song (Farewell pt. 1).

[@brucehanby2156]

YES! A Seventh Wonder reaction with Tommy! Awesomely COOL! THANK YOU!

[@da3daluz]

I'd recommend Long Way Home by Seventh Wonder, shows of Tommy's vocals and is a GREAT song overall. Also it's a duet with his sister Jenny, their voices mesh so incredibly well.

[@immortalbehemoth88]

This is my go-to song to try and sing along (key word try). Great suggestion.

[@andreas0398]

Yes!!

[@theclow614]

Tommy is one of the most impressive parts of "The Day That The World Breaks Down" by Ayreon. His voice is WONDERFUL.

[@Mark0Nolan]

Good to know that you appreciate Seventh Wonder. Awesome band, deserves more attention.

[@stuartwilliams5771]

Hell yeah. Tommy is just ridiculous. There are few vocalists in heavy music who are able to emote in the way that Tommy can. His predecessor in Kamelot, Roy Khan, Geoff Tate from Queensryche, and Ronnie James Dio.

[@MrsSerena84]

How Lucky Kamelot is to have both

[@stuartwilliams5771]

@@MrsSerena84 for sure. Kamelot made a great choice picking Tommy. He sings Roys songs very well live despite their differences as singers.

[@nomo9344]

Indeed

[@danclarke29]

I heard an interview with Tommy on the Metalsucks Podcast where he said he did not grow up listening to metal - he was actually a huge Michael Jackson fan as a kid - would explain the runs. And you’re right - I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone else do that in metal. He is my vocal idol for sure.

[@nomo9344]

I wouldn't classify this song as metal, in fact, I previously commented on this song by simply saying "lots of soul"; however, if you listen to Black Sabbath's 7th Star album with Glenn Hughes on vocals, the album is replete with r and b runs. Listen to "No Stranger to Love" and "In Memory" for just a few examples. Time permitting, let me know what you think.

[@danclarke29]

@@nomo9344 thanks! I’ll most definitely check it out. It doesn’t surprise me to hear Sabbath has done it, seeing how they’re pioneers already.

[@nomo9344]

@@danclarke29 Hey Dan, in fact, after thinking about it, even the first song on the 7th Star album, In For the Kill, has a ton of runs, albeit in a more edgy fashion and not quite a smooth.

[@danclarke29]

@@nomo9344 thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered the cd online so I’ll let you know what I think when it arrives in a few days. I know I know, I could just look it up on KZbin but I’m a huge proponent of supporting the artists (especially after what’s been done to them over this last year and a half). Edit : I also find that listening to a physical copy of an album from start to finish is a far better experience and more conducive to fully appreciating the music than a shitty quality KZbin video! Stay tuned!

[@imokin86]

Re the lyrics, this album is a sequel to one epic song they wrote previously, The Great Escape. It was in turn based on a sci-fi epic poem Aniara by Harry Martinson (which got him a Nobel prize). So it's ultimately a nerdy piece of art.

[@florianbappler7242]

Beyond Today (Farewell part 3) is a beautiful song, sung beautifully. Off the same album, but totally different than this. Just him, a female singer and a piano. You HAVE to check it out. I personally prefer the full on rock version of Against the grain, but it's just good to see them reviewed at all. Well done.

[@rph1990]

I hate the farewell songs. I'm in tears nearly every time I listen to them, they're beautiful

[@Hikdin]

Good choice. Acoustic tracks from the "Mercy Falls" album are even more impactful. Queensrÿche's "Someone Else" and Kamelot's "Epilogue" are similar in showcasing Geoff Tate and Roy Khan's vocals.

[@antti-jussikemppainen305]

Yes, Epilogue is awesome!

[@wolframreactor74]

Tommy with Kamelot performing Prodigal Son… is epic as well

[@sVieira151]

YES! Seventh Wonder on a reaction channel? Just what I needed. The acoustic version definitely gives you a clearer picture of his voice, but there's something about hearing Tommy full flow in the metal mixes that is something else entirely! I'd love to hear a reaction to The Black Parade, Breaking the Silence, or Exhale

[@Anton-F-B]

Have been following Tommy since pretty early on in Seventh Wonder and got super hyped when it was announced he was going to take over after Roy in Kamelot. Seen him live with both bands and it's always an amazing experience! I hope you get to see him in live action soon!

[@madnezz1961]

great choice, one of the best vocalists today. Tommy's wife Kobra Paige is another amazing vocalist from Kobra and the Lotus. Check out Prevail 1 or 2 to choose from a great set of songs

[@nickohlsson3055]

Seventh Wonder has been my #1 favorite band since 2008, and Karevik my favorite singer as long. Technically this song really showcases his fantastic vocal skills, but to anyone reading I also recommend the song Beyond Today from the same album. Also a slow burner.

[@mtaffer]

I love Seventh Wonder! Thanks so much for this!

[@PauerKorde]

Your enthusiasm for Tommy's singing is infectious. It's very nice to hear someone describe what he's doing in both technical and lay terms. I sing, but I am not learned. I first heard Tommy on "Waiting in the Wings," and immediately took notice. When he joined Kamelot, I was ecstatic, although the actuality seemed more like he tried to be more Roy Khan-like in Kamelot instead of being Tommy (I have no idea if that's his bag, or Thom Youngblood's, or what. Not judging, just observing). Tommy absolutely kills in the songs, "Pieces," from "Waiting.." and "Tears for a Father," from "Mercy Falls." If I wasn't already an old man with too little time & sleep, I'd love to pick Tommy's brain on training, diet & maintenance, but as I will likely never be making a living singing, it's really hard to consider committing the resources. UGH! St00pid adulthood! 8'P Cheers!

[@darrellbeam8053]

Elizabeth, you are one of my fav reactors. Your openness, devotion and enthusiasm to your craft is awesome and entertaining. Thanks you! If you haven’t heard, Jeff Castelluchi (sp) just covered the Misty Mountains song. It’s crushing.

Their album Mercy Falls is an absolute masterpiece (well, if you can look past some hilariously terrible voice acting in just a few parts), and I certainly wouldn't ask you to react to it for a video, but I do really recommend sitting down and going through it on your own time. Really great story and top tier performances from the entire group.

His drum solo from Rush - Live in Frankfurt is a must hear by any musician. Also from Rush I recommend the official music video for "Tom Sawyer" (*correction* from the "Snakes and Arrows Live" show) and then "Middletown Dreams" from the Clockwork Angels DVD. Going back to Queensryche, I would recommend "Suite Sister Mary" I love what you're doing and look forward to your future reactions.

Another great reaction to a great performance. I subscribed to your Chanel 12 months plus ago, & have on numerous occasions requested you react to a young Soprano by the name of Amira Willighagen, but alas, my requests appear to have fallen on deaf ears. I understand you may only react to those artists where you receive multiple requests, Angelina Jordon being one in particular. Angelina is an absolute prodigy, with such a magnificent unique voice, & in no way would I compare Angelina to Amira, but I will point out they nearly mirror each other’s journey, even down to their philanthropic attributes. They are both prodigies, albeit with a completely different music genre. So, please give Amira just one reaction as I’m always impressed with your reaction style & pertinent, informative comments. Please react to “Ave Maria by Gomez at the Canisius Church “, when Amira Was 12 years old. ( a beautiful, emotion packed performance.) Cheers, Graeme. ps. 51million views on one uTube video alone should invoke some enthusiasm.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5-klKmnpst7fbs FIRST REACTION PLEASE WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT IS.

[@paulomoraes9355]

Next react : Shaman - fairy lady

“Baritone claw” is known as invisible orange. Most metal performances, someone at some point Is holding the invisible orange.

I just discovered your channel and I'm addicted! Thank you so much for the awesome content. Have you ever listened to Andre Matos? He was the singer of Angra and Shaman. Also part of Avantasia and a few other projects. He has a very unique voice, insane technique and one of the best writers the Power Metal genre has ever had. He's was also a great pianist and maestro. When he passed away in 2019 the metal fans in Brazil were in shock. I'd love to have you reacting to Nothing to Say, Carry On or Angels Cry from Angra. From Shaman, Time Will Come or Fairy Tale (one of the most beautiful metal ballads). Cheers from a Brazilian in Seattle.

Highly highly HIGHLY recommend anything from Woods of Ypres' album "Woods 5: Grey Skies and Electric Light", his voice is just something else

[@wixed]

Seventh Wonder - One Last Goodbye

[@normanhoward8862]

Hayley Reinhart performs with her dad at Chess records, Please. A masterful performance that leaves me in awe.

If you want to hear and review more Tommy Karevik, I’d recommend the live version of Revolution by Kamelot, featuring Alissa White-Gluz. It is one of the heaviest songs from Kamelot, and both Tommy and Alissa are amazing in the live version (which does not have the perfect video quality but is still good). I think it is one of the very few live performances where Tommy really shows the power of his voice.

Your amazingness would go up amazingly with an analysis of Mike Patton/ Faith No More - Midlife Crisis Myrkur - Ella and all the other artists that I only think of when I'm not online

[@michaelprovenza7575]

Myrkur would be so cool.

[@icedvengence3845]

Warrel Dane (R.I.P)and Nevermore or Sanctuary or his solo stuff...

[@RaptorMk2]

Elizabeth needs to check out Kobra and The Lotus (Tommy married Kobra Paige last spring). She'd also LOVE the live version of Under Grey Skies (Kamelot with Charlotte Wessels).

[@hmemcpy5807]

You will definitely enjoy his duet with Simone Simons (with a pinch of Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp) off the latest Ayreon album 'Transitus'! Very much recommended! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pavQhYueZ6h1jdk

[@MrsSerena84]

This is AMAZING

[@larsalghul3275]

A Band you have to reacting to is Rival Sons. It's a classic (Hard)Rockband with heavy blues influences. Great songs to react to are "Jordan" (acoustic version), Too Bad or Keep on swinging (also Acoustic version) . Thank you for the attention and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@michaelarthur6133]

I certainly hope you have listened to 'Mercy Falls'. There will be tears. Also, Live in Atlanta.

[@drakarthyl9269]

I hope you've listened even to "One last goodbye" from them, in case have "fun"

[@viniciuspacheco320]

Great video, as usual! My only complain about this version is that the best part of the song (for me) is missing. When he sings: "When our vision was blurred, and our hearts lead astray She opened our eyes for us We must gather the greatest of minds we can find There must be a way to survive"

[@Skye_Crinson]

Great!! 😍🤩 thank you
