LIVE Q&A with Elizabeth

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com

[@patrickcrowe5106]

I just love your enthusiasm!! It's part of what makes your channel so much fun to watch! Cheers to authenticity!

[@Bigsby77x]

As far as Pink Floyd goes, give "Great Gig in the Sky" a try. I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy the vocal performance of either the original or the live Pulse version (with Sam Brown).

[@robertparsell8771]

So agree!!!

[@bokononbokomaru8156]

They've had the most amazing female backing singers for that over the years

[@tenchmagic]

Sam Brown is simply amazing 🙌🙌

[@rogerhouben9230]

A tea time with Floor Janssen, the nerdiness would be epic😅

[@lMarcusl]

They already contacted her, a few times even I believe, and received no response.

[@caprise-music6722]

@@lMarcusl I guess *Hope never dies*

[@gladheads]

@@lMarcusl A&P-REACTS who is a much smaller channel says he contacted management and they said yes, you'd think Elizabeth and Kirk then would be able to do it !!

[@timothyblazer1749]

Omg...you're an opera singer, a LARPing nerd, you love LotR..... I too am bekilted, and envious of your fine husband. You both won the lottery! Many happy years to you and yours

[@brianparsons3967]

Hello from Talladega Alabama. Love watching your program and you're the best at what you do!

[@davidmarks4449]

I stumbled across you just yesterday. However I am smitten...not how you think though. Your infectious enthusiasm is a bright light! Also, I appreciate your obvious knowledge and sheer joy in analyzing vocals from my favorite genres of music. Your own singing (yes I did my searches) is quite amazing! I do sound design and also teach, but from the standpoint of aesthetic and narrative integration. Your comments definitely coincide with my approach. Anyway, I know you did 2 Queensryche videos. You must do 'Suite Sister Mary' from 'Operation Mindcrime.' I do suggest you research the song since it's part of a longer narrative within the album. It's heavily influenced from opera and the production value is just stellar. I realize you watch video versions so check it out from the live version, 'Operation Livecrime.' Also, please consider analyzing Rush. People either love or hate Geddy's voice. They have a very large catalogue spanning back to the early 1970's. His vocal style changed drastically over the decades. You could definitely do a series of his evolution.

[@KainzMusic]

Love your channel. I love how you demystify the technicalities of the performances and let us understand the emotional connections and how subtly brilliant the performers actually are. Thank you for your educational value and for being just so dang delightful!

[@jirom71]

OMG you’re such a nerd! I love it. I love everything Tolkien

[@DrSlackr]

I would love to get Elizabeth's take on Wagakki Band; A Japanese band that combines rock with traditional Japanese instruments (Wagakki) and poetry singing (Shigin). They have plenty of great songs and high quality live videos to choose from and lately they've been gaining a lot of traction internationally.

[@jollyrogarrr8848]

A very talented and professional singer is Micheal Sweet from the band Stryper. Anything from them is good

[@shiftstart]

I missed this! Instead of Iron Maiden, listen to Bruce Dickson’s solo song “Tears of The Dragon”. You won’t be disappointed.

[@MrVikingmead]

I noticed the swords, then you said shard blade… and I re-focused and thought “oh yeah!” Great books. Glad they are safe :)

[@andreaspedersen3952]

You mentioned Pink Floyd... Last 20 years Steven Wilson has been compared to Roger Waters, and probably one of the most influential in the prog-scene. 2 choices: his band Porcupine tree and their 17 mins masterpiece Anesthetize, live from Tilburg. His solo project under his own name. Maybe "Routine" live from Albert Hall? Great duet with Ninet Tayib, who got a fantastic voice!

[@IamVintage72]

Oh man I missed it. I just subscribed yesterday after watch u listen to Take hold of the flame from Queensryche. Please try Eyes of a stranger or Jet city woman for your next Queensryche song. You are so incredibly fun to watch. Your expressions are incredible!!

[@laurahigdon4741]

Here's a wish list Mike Patton/ Faith No More - Midlife Crisis Myrkur - Ella Rhiannon Giddons - (anything) Lingua Ignota - Holy is the name (Kristin is a very extreme composer and vocalist but so so worth it)

[@harryepstein3629]

A couple of suggestions for you Elizabeth: 1. Annie haslam and the great prog rock group who not many people ever heard of, and who never quite got their just due, Renaissance. Albums in particular: turn of the cards, ashes are burning, sheherazade. You pick the song. They're all great. Not much by way of video available for them though--- Maybe start with "Mother Russia". Very long, moody, melodic operatic prog rock pieces. Different than, but sort of the nightwish of their day, in terms of high quality song writing and construction and superb musicianship. 2. ANYTHING by loreena mckennitt. A very unique and haunting and beautiful, one-of-a-kind voice, and very beautiful and haunting song writing---

[@urty24]

I love the shardblades in the background. Can’t wait for the 5th book. Do you guys cosplay or just LARP?

[@SparkyLu60]

have you ever heard of Jeff Wayne''s "War of the Worlds" rock opera? released in 1978 and that's when I heard it. Narrated by Richard Burton

[@bokononbokomaru8156]

I was listening to that just the other day. Forever Autumn & the part about the ship Thunderchild are really moving

[@mattrichardson5678]

Been a fan since your analysis of Opeth Ghost of Perdition! To see more overlap of classical and metal check out Fleshgod Apocalypse playing Prologue and Epilogue from their album Labyrinth during their “Evening in Perugia” show. Metal with symphony orchestra, piano, and operatic vocals!

[@greg83083]

KING DIAMOND HYPE!!!! Can't wait for that one!

[@katesjanice]

How do you feel about West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof? My favorite musicals...

[@bernadetteweaver7980]

Loving these videos- so glad you like Kamelot. I would like to suggest “Lemuria” by a band called Therion. Cheers!

[@mikecortes8481]

I love your crazy weapons 😂 you need to be a GWAR fan!! 😂 they’re one of those acts that you really don’t need be a fan of the music to enjoy a show! Costumes are incredible! 🤩

[@jedinxf7]

You know who has developed into a pretty good singer, who'd be a great subject for a reaction? Bo Burnham, whose Netflix special "Inside" is pretty cool. I'd recommend "Welcome to the Internet". it's very musical theater in some ways, he does a villain voice and an evil cackle and everything.

[@Whooooooops]

Totally agree! I'd love to see her watch Welcome to the internet or even All eyes on me

[@jedinxf7]

@@Whooooooops i would love "that funny feeling" too. or How the World Works lol. Or, unpaid intern + reaction video + reaction to reaction video + reaction to reaction to reaction video.

[@War624]

I still need to watch that. I just heard it gets pretty heavy, and I don't know if I'm mentally ready for any heavy topics right now. Lol.

[@jedinxf7]

@@War624 it's very heavy lol

[@foolsjourney8118]

Sorry I missed this live Elizabeth- enjoying the catch up though.

[@stephenpetrovich2383]

I can think of a few bands that I would so love to hear. Fates Warning, Flotsam and Jetsam, Avatar and Metal Church are a few I have never seen on the channel.

[@stormcorrosion176]

Fates Warning all the way!!

[@iankeogh2344]

Fates Warning, especially the early Alder work (1988-1998), and anything from the Arch era. Fantastic band.

[@stephenpetrovich2383]

@@iankeogh2344 I have never heard a bad song from FW ever....love them, love Ray Alder....even his solo album is amazing. New FW album is awesome

[@brandi2080]

[@GregsWhiskyGuide]

So sorry I missed this, Elizabeth, but will watch the replay (in fact I did improvised an Impromptu live on my channel being too busy to do a video these days...then I realized it crushed with yours & other friendly ones as well, so apologies...Will comment after watching, cheers !

[@wp9860]

Elizabeth. Would love to know what you think are the major reasons why people watch reaction videos.

[@rosexthermite]

ik i'm not elizabeth, but sometimes people really wanna hear others opinions on their favourite (or least favourite) things! at least that's my reasoning.

[@jeeeeeeees]

I'm very new to your channel and I love you!

[@BrianSmithTheDukeofURL]

Hello from Boca Raton, Florida. I love your channel, and your perspectives.

[@briantwardowski2661]

Have you checked out Tim Storms? World Record for lowest note sung. He has 2 octaves below E0 documented. Getting there I think without the tricks. Lonesome Road is a good example! Would love to see your reaction. Thanks 😊

[@pucknuts33]

Have you listened to any Judith Hill? "The Other Side" is so good ... as is "Better Days"

[@julianhaefs]

Personally, I think Comfortably Numb and High Hopes are the best Pink Floyd songs, especially in the PULSE version, so I'd recommend the latter!

[@thegandeeman]

Glad you showed that Lord of the rings. Stories don't always workout to the happy ending. Sauron was actually one of the creators of middle earth. He had the ring to find them all, the eye, not bind them in darkness. He was the elf queens husband and elrond was actually destroying or removing him from a life he made

[@beerye3]

Would love to see a reaction to anything by Pat Benatar! “Heartbreaker”, “We Belong”, “Promises in the Dark”, and the list goes on!

[@akarm5000]

Promises in the Dark

[@ned1621]

Can you imagine Elizabeth and Floor Jansen singing together!! Or her doing a song with Floor in Nightwish wow 🤩...

[@michaelabilla6210]

Just love the way you speak

[@jonathanallen2015]

I wanna see you react to Skillet, they are a Christian Rock Band and the current members are John Cooper Lead Singer/Bassist, Korey Cooper John's Wife Rythum Guitar/Keyboards/Background Vocals, Seth Morrison Lead Guitarist, and Jen Ledger Drummer/Background Vocals, Ben Kasica was Lead Guitarist before Seth Morrison, Ben Left after the Awake Album, Lori Peters was Drummer before Jen Ledger, Lori left before the Awake Album and she taught Jen some of the songs

[@Greg-om2hb]

I’ve long been curious about your cephalopod friend. I’ll suggest again that you listen to Ronnie James Dio sing Kill the King off the Rainbow on Stage album, as well as the Puddles Pity Party version of Ozzy Osborne’s Crazy Train. Finally, check out the vocals of Mayu of Nemophila.

[@1ls376]

Elizabeth reminds me of and looks like the actress on TV show "The Office". The cute one.

[@markweaver3196]

have you done any other Phil Collins other than In The Air? Have you done Peter Gabriel? Mike and the Mechanics? Eagles? Billy Joel? Styx?

[@bokononbokomaru8156]

I'm all for SciFi/ Fantasy ornaments, but you should add famous singers... may have to do an annual tree too or at least for Beltane, Xmas, Wnter Solstace, Ground Hog's Day, Durin's Day, & of course Gollum's Day 😁

[@ArcticLemming77]

Lovely little Q&A, unfortunately I missed the live chat. I do have a small suggestion for a possible reaction/analysis in collaborration with Sean Daniel and that would be Running Wild with their song "Blazon Stone". Epic guitar intro combined with interesting lyrics and at the same time a taste of the band that invented Pirate Metal.

[@cozartphotos]

Do you know of Lise Lindstrom? What are your thoughts? I went to school with her. Love your channel!

[@jdlstoryteller]

I'd really love it if you could do ANYTHING by Shanty singer David Coffin. He's been a singer and storyteller for a long time and has a voice I personally wish to emulate and tweak to my own more than any other. The Seaman's Hymn or The Calling On Song/Away Rio would be a good start. Thank you so much!

[@emmadroste8493]

Man I still want to see an analysis of Erykah Badu's tiny desk concert (specifically Green eyes)!!!

[@zcustomcarnesi]

Headless Cross , by Sabbath . Amazing voice.

[@italiano5150]

Hi there! Have you talked about " Beast in Black"? You should definitely check them out because their vocalist (Yannis) is simply incredible and has an outstanding vocal range & power !!!! Probably one of the very best Heavy Metal (Power Metal) vocalists of today. 🤟

[@Freddy_4_Fingers]

I wish I had caught this live so I could have played along, but I was at work 😩

[@HHCDNafets]

Wow no comment here so far. That was a great special, thx alot and don't forget a small band is called Skunk Anansie and Nina Hagen is very special *lol* 😀

[@MichalGlowacz86]

I second Nina Hagen! Her "Naturträne" would be perfect for Elizabeth to analyse.

[@chrisvickers7928]

I'd like to suggest the McGarrigles with Mary Black and EmmyLou Harris singing Stephen Foster's 'Hard Times Come Again No More". It's a vocal treat.

[@Stahlwollvieh]

Any plans to check out Dir En Grey sometime? The live version of "Macabre" is quite the experience... tons of interesting vocal techniques and one hell of an atmosphere. It's hard to explain really without sitting down and listening to it.

[@ozmatt1222]

Would love to see you react to and break down Matt Corby ‘Brother’ (Live for like a version) Triple J. Listening to this for the first time is an otherworldly experience.

[@Boone1981]

Puddles Pity Party did a (mellow metal style) cover of Holy Diver

[@miykaelp5284]

I would like to see you react to the band Lucius, both singers are amazing. Would be a good Tea time too

[@kristynsdad]

Love your channel!!! You have the most realistic, compelling reactions. Thank you for making KZbin great. Please, please, please check out and react to "Hold on to love" by Jason Becker. His story of overcoming obstacles and still being able to create music is unparalleled. The song/lyrics/video are extremely powerful and emotional. The family is currently selling off his guitars and fundraising for his treatment of ALS. He is an incredible talent and brilliant musician/composer with the most loving family. You are so great at critiquing and finding the deeper meaning to the lyrics and music that this song should hit you straight in the heart. I believe you will find it very powerful, I did for sure. Thank you! We'll be watching

[@siliyemoodislam]

Is Toumas Holopainen of Nightwish your brother? You look like him.

[@aylinyaman7885]

Also it shocks me that no one reacts to PJ Harvey. She is a 90s alternative rock icon. Her voice is amazing, and I would like you to react to her one day. “Down By The River” may be a good start .

[@hadif9737]

Would you do Soen? God's acre for example

[@pablosauque8972]

Please check out skid row the voice of Sebastián Bach un increíble

Yes Great gig in the sky is a must mist

[@davidchambers9827]

Check out Liliac - a band of siblings 13-21, that do a lot of covers including DIO Holy Diver , Rainbow in the Dark , Iron Maiden - The Trooper and many other covers and also originals like Nothing, Mars- Live fromCummings GA and Sail Away

[@andrewclackum3454]

Play Black Sabbath w/ Ian Gillian , "Born Again".

[@timlee7038]

Yes

[@c4br4l17]

Another suggestion is Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac ( Live 1976). Stevie Nicks is a legend.

[@kimhopkins5264]

Hoping you’ll eventually react to some Sierra Ferrell! I perform a couple of her songs and folks around here are getting on her band wagon and I’m hoping to promote her more. I promise you’ll love her!

[@ddttrrb72]

I just found her this last week. Elk River Blues...is strangely compelling

[@craigslue]

Devour the Day, Good Man, Faith.

[@bonhughes575]

I agree with "Born Again" ...title track from Black Sabbath's only work with Ian Gillan (who called himself the worst singer they ever employed)

[@stanleyarnstrong3871]

For nerdy stuff about instruments and great broad- based reactions, seek out A Roadie Reacts. He will do basic stuff, but at times gets quite technical about it.

[@einarthormodster95]

How can we get Elisabeth to listen/analyze Thimmt Johansen from SABATON?

[@warrenburrell1745]

Love your reviews please do some Danzig (How the Gods Kill) I think you’ll absolutely love it

[@cadik3018]

Using the comic sans font can help some people with dyslexia. It's a "looser" font that makes the letters look less scrunch together, making them harder to mix up.

[@shademoriq]

I wanted to ask if you could check out and react to "BRONWEN - Wide Eyed Love (Official Video)" or perhaps her bilingual version of fields of gold? She is one of my favorite Welsh singers with such an amazing voice. I know you must get loads of requests but I do not think I have seen any reactions to Bronwen she is such an underrated singer and musician.

How about doing a reaction of the song Broken Wings by Alter Bridge?

[@jeffturner2975]

Queensryche did a cover of Heaven on their MInds from Jesus Christ Superstar - from their album Take Cover, where they paid tribute to the songs and artist that influenced them

[@corbinsbrewreview]

I would loooove to see a HIM analysis. Maybe Disarm Me or And Love Said No (personal favorite). Ville Valo’s voice is unique and somewhat enchanting in a way.

[@catchy_tune]

Yes, this group came to my mind as well. Also Nirvana

[@skjeggendale4976]
