Jonathan Young "Hellfire" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer

One of my all time favorite Disney villain anthems, Jonathan Young takes "Hellfire" and brings a metal twist. I was so excited to witness this cover by one of KZbin's prolific cover artists, known for his Disney and Anime cover songs.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Jonathan Young for the first time, performing "Hellfire” from Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".

I mean a reaction channel could go for ages just on his disney rock. Would love those and a few others to be reacted to

[@darthplagueis13]

Whilst Jonathan is of course not as scary when he isn't playing a role, there's still a certain trend noticable. He and Caleb have sung their way through a lot of what Disney et al have delivered in terms of music and typically, Jonathan is the one who indulges in the villain songs whereas Caleb excells in the more heroic themes.

[@Echo-Ashe]

Perfect example with Caleb doing well with the hero songs is his cover of Go the Distance.

[@VegetaLF7]

Which is why I find it interesting that in their Savages cover, Jonathan voices the more heroic Chief Powhatan while Caleb voices the more sinister Governor Ratcliffe. They completely flip the script on us with that cover.

[@kennikitty]

Well, Caleb is a tenor and Jonathan is a barritone, I believe? The villain songs are darker in their tone and therefore complement Jonathans voice better, while the hero songs are lighter.

[@IntrovertedCanine]

This just makes me want a musical eith Caleb as the hero and Jonathan as the villain.

[@SkullShrapnel]

I think caleb is more theatre teained and jonathan is more metally trained...i didnt look...just guessing

[@EveMizgala]

I love the addition of "Please! Give me sanctuary!" because it's what Quasimodo's mother is screaming at the church doors right before Frollo killed her. Really nice touch adding it to Frollo's song.

[@Pablo360able]

My favorite part of his rendition is how he reaches the peak of his distortion at "let her taste the fires of hell" - then pulls back and is basically clean on "or else let her be mine or mine alone". It really shows that, on some level, he really believes his own hypocritical worldview, and genuinely thinks of his claim to Esmerelda as something beautiful and born of love, not even recognizing anything wrong with that.

[@nixixim]

They don't write Disney movies like they used to. So many haunting themes and complex philosophies portrayed by some of these villains, it's amazing.

[@Pablo360able]

@@nixixim I’m going to stop saying anything nice about old Disney movies if that’s just going to attract comments about how “they don’t write Disney movies like they used to” as if something like Encanto is simple and clean

[@j_g9109]

@@Pablo360able Well, I definitely prefer past Disney, but people saying that Disney is not as good isn’t always the same as claiming they’re not good anymore. Hunchback of Notre Dom _is_ more complicated, deeper and heart-wrenching than Encanto. That doesn’t mean that Encanto is bad or simple. It is clean, but I don’t understand why that’s automatically a bad thing.

@@firstlast4312 I didn't know Jonathan streamed on Twitch... thank you so much for mentioning it, followed.

[@13shoshana]

The reason I love the "give me sanctuary scream" hits so hard for me is because thats what Kwasimodos mother is asking for when he kills her, so not only is it super dramatic but it also drives home both his desperation but also his hypocrisy, and I love it.

[@Dryarae]

The "Caleb" you're referring to is Caleb Hyles who is indeed a singer as you mention. They pair up on their version of "The Bells of Notre Dame" which I'd love to hear your take on, as well as MANY other collabs between the pair of them.

[@kimiyamk]

I'm sure you know but just for folks learning about Caleb from this comment section, his album "In One Breath" is available in full on youtube and spotify and is a phenomenal original composition.

[@bimbkin2830]

His version of "Bells of Notre Dame" is also so haunting and amazing, it would be great if you'd react to it as well!!

[@dutcherbl]

Yes and that is one of his collaborations with Caleb Hyles. Love that cover, and this one, and all of them.

[@thor3562]

I second this. It is still my favourite of all works of Jonathan Young.

[@goldencyclone4984]

I think Bells is probably the highest note I've heard Caleb hold, it's insane at the end how broad his range is

[@xtremedreamer]

Yes. I love his work, originals and covers. "Be Prepared" cover by him is another one where he knocks the expressive vocals out of the park

[@Tyler_Gomola]

Both versions. His original version is wonderfully grungy and angsty, while the metal one sounds like something out of a God of War game.

[@charlescohen4279]

Oh my god, yes. A hundred percent madness.

[@chrismuller7203]

I would really recommend the Metal Cover, the Video is so amazing and just thinking, that he also filmed that himself so not just the DIY Music..

[@isabelleblanchet3694]

For fits and giggles, there is also the Twisted Translation of "Be prepared" he did with Malinda kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYWTaoJpqdaUipY

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

Jonathan is amazing. He does pretty much every instrument himself and a lot of editing as well. He also has his own original music that's totally worth checking out. But as for the covers, he also did Bells of Notre Dame and so many other awesome Disney covers. His Prince of Egypt covers are amazing too.

[@jdpragmatic8644]

In the original: the music dips off after “mine and mine alone” as a guard comes in to inform Frollo that Esmeralda escaped. Then Frollo resolves to burn Paris to find her. In this one: he starts pleading to Maria, quoting the Lord’s Prayer, and screaming for help as the music crescendos to a stop. And then his inner demon takes control over him as he resolves to burn Paris to find her. It completely changes the impact of the scene, and I LOVE IT.

[@brianhalligan9268]

The sheer emotion and character that Jonathan put into these performances is what puts his covers over the top for me. If you want some other recommendations Bells of Notre Dame and Be Prepared are exceptional and well worth a watch.

[@adamhunter1223]

[@kevin537]

Caleb's high range compliments and contrasts Johnathan's range so well.

[@lordnmaster2]

"Hellfire" is my go-to audition number, and I cannot imagine going up to an F on "she will burn" after you just got done doing it on a D. Jonathan's range is worthy of envy.

[@Sheamuscz]

And the best thing is, this cover is actually 2 semitones higher than the original, so the notes here aren't actually D and F, but E and G, which makes it even more impressive.

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

It really helps where his vocal range is too, being a super low bass makes hitting those in pure chest much harder, but I think Jonathan is in that high bass, low baritone range with a very dramatic timbre in his voice. I, for instance don't have too much issue hitting a high F, maybe even a high G in my chest voice despite being around the same area as Jonathan, but since him and I are both raised on rock and metal I can only guess he grew up singing way out of his own range like I did. I have pushed my range a stupid amount that I probably need to get an instructor to figure out what my actual voice classification is, I am not a tenor, I know that much, I have an E2-F4 chest on any given day, C2-A4 on rare occasion, pushed chest can get me down to A1 and chest fry/subharmonics can get me to C1 and sometimes lower, mix and head voice get me anywhere between D5 and F#5 depending on the day. Based purely on my comfortable chest range I am a bass, but I have heard baritone as well, I am not a trained vocalist so I am not an expert at all. Either way Jonathan's range and just general singing prowess is utterly insane, I am hoping I can get down to a consistent C2 as I age and improve in the same way as him, portraying this kind of emotion is one of the most fun things you can do. Whatever character you are playing or song you are doing, this sort of emotional vocal performance is amazing.

[@ekki6820]

The one thing I very much enjoy about Jonathon Young, is his vast and overwhelmingly powerful grasp of emotion. He seems to be able to command just the right about of anxiety, levels of distraught, rage, or outright fear in ways that I honestly would expect out of a method actor, not a singer.

[@AZombieWizard]

He really sells the "man who thought he was righteous but realized he has fallen into sin" that makes Frolo such an amazing character. 10/10 just for the production then another 10 points for the song being a banger. Solid 20 out of 10

[@grammar_antifa]

I'd love to see your reaction to his Prince of Egypt collabs with Caleb Hyles. Playing With the Big Boys is my personal favorite.

[@vic6091]

Rock/heavy metal and opera/operatic music themes have such a wonderfully strange and beautiful marriage

[@trevorlange]

I like how the ad lib at the end, "Give me sanctuary." is a callback to one of the earlier songs, The Belles of Notre Dame, in which Quasimodo's mother is crying out for sanctuary at the doors to Notre Dame Cathedral when she was being pursued by Frollo and is then subsequently killed on the steps

[@eastcoastoverseer]

Jonathan Young's "Villains" album is -*chef's kiss* A suggestion for something that might pique your interest is Melancholia, by the band Dark Sarah. Each of their albums tells an overarching story of the main character Sarah, and the latest album is about a character named Luna, with a surprising connection to the original stories. I think you'll really enjoy it!

Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙

[@jonathanedison]

Love the original song. Judge Claude Frollo is such a real villain. Someone that you can see existing. It’s the reason he’s so menacing. This version’s dark timbre adds a grit to it that I love. It’s hard to say which I love more as the original will always hold a place in my heart. I love Hunchback! Great review as always!!

[@TheHanson]

Jonathan Young is one of my favorite artists. His covers of so many songs are amazing. Even though he doesn't always write his own. He takes songs and makes them his own, while staying as close as possible to the original.

Their cover of Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is INTENSE. Though, I'm happy to say that Jonathan is now putting a lot of energy into shifting to more original works, and his song Land of the Living is amazing. I'd love for you to react to it.

[@xsithspawnx]

Hell yeah! Jonathan Young is one of my favorite metal artists! His covers and originals are both amazing and worth looking into. The artist he frequently collabs with that you alluded to is named Caleb Hyles, and he is an incredible signer as well. On a rather topical note, they actually teamed up to do a similarly awesome cover of "The Bells of Notre Dame" (would strongly recommend this one as a great way to see a bit of Caleb and more of Jonathan Young). I would definitely recommend diving deeper into both of them! 😉

[@SkylerFallow]

Hi Elizabeth! Thanks for reacting to Jonathon Young, he's a remarkable and prolific artist, and I'm glad you enjoyed this video! A couple of things that you wondered about during the video: Jon is a multi-instrumentalist. He plays guitar, keyboard, bass and drums, and I believe he usually plays all the instruments on his songs, unless otherwise mentioned. He has a group of other KZbinr friends that he collabs with quite often, including Caleb Hyles whom you mentioned (and whom you should definitely check out - he has a fantastic voice and also has done a lot of covers of Disney songs, pop songs, and much more), as well as RichaadEB and FamilyJules, who are both guitarists who do a lot of video game covers. The four of them together have done an INCREDIBLE set of eurobeat covers in a power metal style, which I cannot recommend highly enough. Even if you don't post reactions, you should give them a look just because they're so much fun. They're on RichaadEB's channel. Jon has also branched out into original music, as well as his covers of all sorts of things. If you want to hear him singing his own composition, I'd recommend Echo Chamber, or Land of Broken Dreams. Have a great day!

[@TheErickDH]

with how much you enjoyed this, you would love his cover of "Be Prepared" from the Lion King, particularly the more recent 2019 version. it is on the level of this video in terms of how well he sorta crawls into the characters head and lays every last bit of emotion and madness in his performance, in a way that just haunts the viewer. also his collab with Caleb Hyles on The Bells of Notre Dame is pure fire, as well as their many collaborations on covers of the Prince of Egypt soundtrack

[@TheHorzabora]

Your reactions to this mirror my own so immensely, watching your face is a mirror of my own. This song really reaches into the heart, and Jonathan Young does an amazing job with all his religious and villain songs - particularly his male voices. He has *so* much talent for taking distortion in and out of his voice and such an ear for when the hard edge of rock will improve a song to reach the heart. Thanks for this review. And your reactions are so awesome as you watch him struggle with his hope and torment, as well as his madness.

[@nicholasmullins3693]

To answer some questions: Jonathan does all of his own arranging from what I've seen He specifically went to school for that. Caleb is a fellow singer, normally doesn't do as much arrangement. You should look into Jonathan's originals as well, because he puts even more into them.

[@oglschmitt]

Well, Mrs. Z, no one embodies the wholesome beauty, charm, and intellectual curiosity of a Disney princess like you; and no one channels the snarling, maniacal evil of a Disney villain like Mr. Young here. They also say that the best villains are mirror images of the heroes and Mr. Young is ridiculously talented, absurdly prolific, has an amazingly expressive face, and seems super likable. Hmmm, how can this not be awesome? I hope this video does well, because I would love to see you not only check more JY, but also other amazing KZbin artists like Dan Vasc, Violet Orlandi, and Skar Also, and I hate making requests because I know you're swimming in them, but Halloween is approaching, and Mr. Young has an AMAZING version of Oogie Boogie song. I know Geoff and Voiceplay already crushed that song, but you must react to JY's version. Geoff was creepy and fun as the character, Jonathan Young is intense and absolutely terrifying!

[@travismattingly1414]

I love that you referenced how his technique has a little "Ronnie" in it. Absolutely legendary influence on power metal Ronnie had, and Jonathan Young really slays his own renditions of that power metal technique.

[@ToshioZaPanda]

I have been a huge fan of Jonathan Young for many years now and I always love his versions better than the originals so it makes me happy that someone with your knowledge thinks about it the same way.

[@cindybarber5197]

It was so fun to see you break down Jonathan. I have loved his stuff for a long time, and he does have some really fun songs, that aren't quite so crazy, and his original music is amazing too. Great breakdown though, love it!

[@tareskisloki8579]

So glad you're finally dipping your toes into the HCU, I look forward to seeing you climb down this rabbithole :)

[@mattlozinski1700]

You've got to do bells of notre dame by him and caleb hyles

[@firstlast4312]

I found Jonathan first but The Bells got me to Caleb & I am so impressed with their collabs as well as his solo work. I especially love his Steven Universe cover work!

[@Angelos42]

Very much need to do Bells of Notre Dame

[@CircleTheSkies]

I recommend checking out his original stuff as well - "Jet Pack Race" and "Final Frontier" both got me choked up (for different reasons), excellent songs.

[@dutcherbl]

All of his Disney covers are great. Let It Go is super fun. Also, his cover of Your Gonna Go Far Kid with Lauren Babic is epic.

[@FelixWolf]

His cover of 'The Sound Of Silence' is my personal favorite!

[@dakodastevens8972]

My favorite Jonathan cover is still "friends on the other side" but "Hellfire" is a close second. All of his work is great.

[@AriaOnEdge]

i love your reaction. at first you didn't know what to expect and not to offend, but the look in your eyes was almost that of a princess being courted by a nat 20 charisma check, the eyes expressive, facination, almost being courted on the backfoot, so much focus on so many things you aren't ready for and the second time around you giggle like a nerd at so many places it's super cute XD. i love these reactions, getting a technical look at these artists while still enjoying the medium

[@sasavj14]

I'm so glad you reacted to this cause I love Jonathan Young! He was one of the first artists to get me into metal and heavy rock. And I absolutely agree; in all his covers he always makes a great villain, though of course that's not all he can do.

[@Pablo360able]

Listen. Can we just acknowledge, as a society, how *wild* it is that "Hellfire" exists as a Disney song in the first place? Imagine how impressive and classic Hunchback would be if it leaned more into that uncompromising realness instead of being the tonally compromised mess it is.

[@pastelguts6182]

Hunchback of Notre Dame would have been perfect if those god damn gargoyles werent in it

[@furlizard]

Oh, yes, I'll second getting rid of the gargoyles! They probably were forced to have them to be able to have the darker stuff they wanted.

[@michaelhawkins7389]

@@pastelguts6182 I agree they ruined the film... despite this I think its a great film but yeah they are so annoying

[@caseycoker1051]

I love Jonathan Young so much! I honestly can't recommend his stuff more! Some of my favorites by him are "In the Dark of the Night", "Bells of Notre Dame", "Friends on the Other Side", "Playing with the big boys now", "poor unfortunate souls , and "you're gonna go far kid". Also for something very different, his version of "Be Our Guest" is super fun and phenomenal. Seriously it's hard to go wrong with him and Caleb, they are both fantastic!

[@imarock.7662]

Omg, your reaction is absolutely amazing. Your analysis, and expressions are such a joy to watch a listen to.

[@saphironkindris]

Jonathan young is not just a singer, but one hell of an actor as well. He really pulls you into his music.

[@Lisa091091]

So, now I want you to look at / listen to the "Hellfire" cover of Violet Orlandi. Me, being a Disney nerd had that on my YT front page and I loved it so much and now I'm just in love with everything she does. Then I found Halocene cause of Violet and then I found Jonathon cause of Halocene. I'm having a moment watching this reaction of his "Hellfire" cover :D

[@peteacad1]

Lisa keep going down the collab rabbit hole with Violet, Halocene, Malinda Reese and Jonathan. They have introduced me to so many other YT Artists they are incredible

[@carmelr5504]

Jonathan arranges everything himself I'm fairly sure, he sometimes livestreams the process on his twitch, Caleb Hayes is another youtube cover singer who is also awesome! They've collabed a bunch of times ^_^

[@vicariousxiv2436]

YES! So much YEEEEES! Jonathan Young is one of the most talented people I've ever heard, I really hope you check out more of his stuff, he's done a TON of disney villain covers (literally the best versions of them, like this one, no joke), and has recently been releasing a lot of amazing original work as well. Your insight into his work and performance is so interesting to watch as well, I've always loved him but not only hearing your analysis of his work but also seeing how much you're enjoying it yourself puts a smile on my face lol

[@christianbone3395]

He has a bunch of metal Disney villain covers, you should check out more of them.

[@MascottDeepfriar]

Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles cover of PRINCE OF EGYPT - "Playing With the Big Boys" (METAL cover version) Is a true work of art.

[@codewordbw3340]

Of his music, the ones I would recommend most are his cover of Be Prepared (the most recent one), as well as his collab with Peter Hollens for Rains of Castamere. For Rains of Castamere, theres a metal version on Jonathan's channel and an a capella version on Peter's, and I would recommend listening to the a capella version. Or you could put them both in the same video, since they're very similar. Love the reactions 👍

[@micahwithabeard]

I'm so happy you found Jonathan Young! I absolutely love his covers. my favorite Disney song as a kid was "In the Dark of the Night" from Anastasia. I loved how creepy and dark it sounded(i guess i was a messed up kid lol) and Jonathan does a fantastic cover of that as well.

[@Ancient_War]

This is the best version of this song, original or otherwise. I really get the sense he’s tortured and tormented, and trying to convince himself he’s not to blame. And the tears at the end are just genius.

[@Mnemonforempress]

The Bells of Notre Dame is how I got into Jonathan Young. His non-Disney covers are also awesome. And if you like magical and mystical music, check out AURI - Pearl Diving. Johanna Kurkela is an amazing vocalist, I think you will love her.

[@rebeccamccarthy121]

Seconding Auri! Especially since Tuomas of Nightwish is involved.

[@bigmikeg84]

His original album is fire

[@SlickLemons]

More Jonathan Young pls, been following him for a LONG time and he's a true talent

[@TrueRaz]

I recommended this a few times, especially after the last Peter Hollens video. I am glad you loved this song as much as I thought you would. The video almost got lost it the algorithm but this has been one of my favorite reactions.

[@tonymccall8911]

I have been waiting for this, but I honestly think you would love his prince of Egypt collaboration or inthe dark of the night from Anastasia

[@RinniePere]

This is fantastic!!!! I love the Juxtaposition of the heavy guitar and drums with the high, tinkling piano part. And his voice!!!!! 💀🤩

[@josiahrobinson6135]

I watched Jonathan Young react live to this on Twitch tonight! He's one of my top five musicians right now - him, Dan Vasc, Mayki Fabiani, Victor The Guitar Nerd, and Davi Vasc are my top five. Thank you for this great reaction! Jonathan is a great guy and deserves all the success that's coming his way! This is a great reaction, too!

[@benb6274]

Even if you don't react to it, you really, really, really need to check out the cover of this song that Tomi P. does. Its an amazing rendition and his vocal talent is absolutely crazy. Think Peter Hollens, but with a 6 octave range.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

I have heard a lot about Tomi P., and he's on my list now!

[@benb6274]

@@TheCharismaticVoice from what i've seen you get excited about in other videos you're going to absolutely love his work. His cover of Hellfire is definitely the best place to start by far. It showcases his range extremely well. He definitely deserves a lot more press than he gets as well. Thanks for the response and keep up the good work.

[@jmbmusic1]

@@TheCharismaticVoice Great to hear that! I‘ve been recommending his work for months😄👍🏻

[@jaypg101]

@@TheCharismaticVoice Happy to hear! He's got excellent talent! His hellfire cover is jaw dropping, I also recommend it as a starting place as it blew his earlier productions out of the water!

[@LadyFeline3]

@@jmbmusic1 And maybe from there she'll react to the rest of the Bass Gang. I really want to see her react to them as a group and as individuals, especially Peter's covers of 'Creep' and 'Change on the Rise'. Fingers crossed!

[@LyrialEra]

Ive followed Jonathan Young for years now and have always loved his covers, he recently started making originals and released an album with gloryhammer vibes that I highly recommend checking out

[@yasminjordaan8496]

hehe You know more is coming, do you follow him on twitch??

[@YouDontOwnCats-TheyOwnYou]

He has a cover of an originally japanese song called "Unravel", from an anime called Tokyo Ghoul, it's really underrated and I'd absolutely love to hear your take on this song, there is so much emotion he puts into this song, no matter how many times I listen to it, it gets me time and again.

[@lleldridge1]

Gosh. Never heard of this guy until today. Just watched a cover of My Heart Will Go On. 🤯🔥

[@illi183]

It would be absolutely amazing to see some Manowar and Iced Earth on the channel. Both bands have some of the best metal singers to ever do it. A question of heaven by iced Earth and either heart of steel or blood of kings by manowar are fantastic choices. Love the reactions.
