[@slayerat5280]

I was at the Denver Debacle, it was such a strange but memorable night! Watching Alissa and Elize* on stage singing from printed off lyrics and performing with everyone is one of the most unique concert experiences I've ever had.

[@VashGR]

No worries it was an honest mistake and has nothing really to do with the musical analysis for the song. As for Allisa, in her current band Arch Enemy she does harsh vocals 99.9% of the time. I would strongly recommend her previous band The Agonist. "Thank you pain", "and their eulogies sang me to sleep" and "ideomotor" are great songs with about 40/60 clean/harsh vocals from her. Personally I really like her cleans and think it's a shame she doesn't use them in Arch Enemy.

[@TimGallant]

I am SO glad to learn (a bit late) that you're starting to dig into Tommy. I love Roy Khan and when he quit Kamelot, I felt absolutely certain that it was going to be all downhill from there. I had no idea who Tommy Karevik was. Then I heard the Silverthorn album, and the rest is history. What a wonderful singer. His voice is beautiful and powerful, and aches at all the right moments. He's probably my absolute favourite vocalist right now. The power stuff is amazing, but it's the ballads that really get me. (I don't know what's out there so far as live videos, but his performance on Seventh Wonder's Beyond Today gets me every time.)

[@TimGallant]

It almost seems unfair that one band could have two different vocalists that are this good.

[@zebulonswearingen4607]

This is my first time hearing Kamelot - and I approve. I’ve already heard Amaranthe, Arch Enemy and The Agonist. I’m a fan. This channel is great because you’re descriptive in this music-loving way. And this educated, knowledgeable way as well. It enhances the songs; it’s like hearing the great musicians with fresh ears.

[@TheKartoffel101]

Alissa and Elyze actually had to jump in for a Nightwish performance when the original singer got sick and became friends with each other. Since then they're performing every now and then together. Mostly with Kamelot because both have features in Kamelot songs.

[@cm4279]

Arch Enemy and Kamelot were the opening bands on the Nightwish tour so they were able to step in when Annette was hospitalized. I was at the NYC show a few days before this occurred.

[@sarcophage]

The video from that show was incredible - how brave of them to step in. That was a great way to show support for the band and for the fans. Kamelot are AMAZING people, their performances are incredible but they’re great humans too

[@adriannebee2056]

The sudden fangirling as soon as you heard Alissa made me laugh so much. You are so cute and I love how excited you get when you see something like that. Your excitement to talk about frequencies was also adorable and made me smile.

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

Talking about Elize's age made me think of Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation) whose voice has matured so flawlessly and given her additional vocal "tools" since she started out. Also, she makes her own costumes and wore like 6 in Black Symphony alone.

[@bhg70]

Elize is fantastic. Love her in Amaranthe, and she does a lot of guest spots as well. Alissa can sing clean as well. She's done some other guest spots on Kamelot songs where she shows off a very nice clean voice. Mutli-talented.

[@unknownapproach9410]

I’m still on the fence with Tommy in Kamelot, he’s one of my fav singers but I still associate Khan with Kamelot in my head and I haven’t heard a Kamelot song that matches Tommy’s voice. I am in love with Seventh Wonder so I’m hoping to get more into the next Kamelot album

I've hung out with the Kamelot guys after a few shows in Denver. They are really cool! I love their music. Tommy was the perfect choice after Roy Khan left. There's a KZbin video recording out of Roy Khan singing "You raise Me Up", during a church service. It's very cool.

[@louisea5669]

I'm afraid you got it a bit wrong there: Anette Olzon has never been in Kamelot, she was in Nightwish before Floor. When NW were touring the US, they were supported by Kamelot (along with Elize and Alissa), so when Anette got sick in Denver and couldn't perform Elize and Alissa stepped in. Nightwish' documentary covers it, just search youtube for The Denver Debacle 😊 Anette was fired from NW right after that.

[@Shepherd_03]

Considering what they managed to pull off, debacle definitely doesn't seem appropriate for that show!

[@TheWiseGrif]

@@Shepherd_03 alliteration is fun, so debacle it is

[@RaptorMk2]

To add on, Anette was fired from Nightwish shortly after this, and Floor was hired and had all of 48 hours to learn the setlist. This was the same 2013 tour that the legendary Wacken show was from. Edit: Also, also, Elize had also auditioned for Nightwish before they hired Anette and said after the Denver show that being a part of Nightwish was always a dream of hers

[@primalfear8732]

I was at the show in Salt Lake right after Denver... we commented how bad it was and low and behold they fired her the next day.

[@ParaditeRs]

They fired her for being sick 🤔?

[@johnanderson7739]

I just realized something. Alyssa and Elise have an amazing bit of history with Nightwish and Floor. When Annette Olsen went to the hospital during the 2012 US Nightwish tour, the band was left with no singer for their Denver show. Alyssa and Elise were signing backup for Kamelot who were the opening act. For one night, they were the lead singer for Nightwish, which the crowd loved, even if they had to read cue cards to know the lyrics. Annette sang at the next show in Salt Lake, and then was replaced with Floor, who had 48 hours to learn the songs.

[@QuirkyFactos]

I love Floor's addition. But it kinda unfair for Annette. Imagenaerum was specifically made for Annette's unique voice and I REALLY LOVE Imagenaerum's Annette. Floor's addition indeed made that album grande, but it's different vibe, rendetion to Annette's. Catchy, naughty, but dark.

[@jmazoso]

@@QuirkyFactos very true

[@PeTTs0n88]

So much talent on one stage, and the production (lighting, costumes, camera, everything) just makes it awesome - the entire I Am The Empire show and DVD/BD is amazing. Roy is fantastic, but damn Tommy can sing, for sure. Can't pick a favorite, it's impossible. I can warmly recommend Phantom Divine from the same show, by the way! You may just add another singer to your list! 😉

[@matthewh.9544]

Kamelot singing Under Grey Skies is a fantastic performance, he sings amazing, and so does she.

[@15Berserk]

Alissa is highly addictive. I would recommend you Reason to Believe, cause is the only song of Arch Enemy where she sings with clean vocals and growls, and maybe there you have more stuff to analyze of her skills. However, if you're looking for a fierce performance, 100% Alissa... Nemesis at Wacken.

[@SightUnseen555]

Alissa and Elize seem to tour quite regularly with Kamelot. I saw Kamelot in Vancouver in 2019 (amazing show! I was new to Kamelot at the time, went primarily for one of their openers, Sonata Arctica) and Elize was featured on several songs even though her band wasn't on tour with her. They also brought in Noora Louhimo of Battle Beast (who was one of the opening acts) for a song too.

[@TroyKnapp]

One thing that amazed me about this tour is how Alissa just BLASTS onto the stage. Her presence was captivating. Anytime she was on the stage she OWNED it. I've never seen Arch Enemy (or The Agonist), but I definitely wanted to after seeing that show.

[@MrRoyBurns]

She has a stage presence unlike anybody else I've ever seen. I don't know how she does it, but you immediately forget about everything else up there. There should be some live recording of Arch Enemy online (Alissa is wearing something white on it iirc) that captures that perfectly.

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Me too, I can't f-ing believe I totally missed out on Kamelot until discovering them a couple years ago, and Roy was already long gone! And while I like the new Conception stuff, I don't love it, even with Roy. The same way I feel about Kamelot without Roy. I think Roy and Thomas Youngblood were an exceptional pair, they are both better together than on their own. The classic Kamelot stuff is on a whole other level.

For an experience of Alissa's range, you will have to roll back the clock to her old band "The Agonist" and listen to her acapella of swan lake. She does all the layers herself. You may wonder how/why she moved into a scream only band like Arch Enemy. It is truly a treat.

[@oglschmitt]

Actually bought Lullabies For the Dormant Mind from Alissa herself at a show. Had to scrape up some change to make the purchase. "Nothing like buying metal with metal" I told her, which she got a kick out of. Arch Enemy may not be the best vehicle for her, but I am very happy for her success.

[@HHMasterPuff]

I've been wanting to suggest Amaranthe for a while now. They're awesome and unique. 3 seperate vocalists, and they can best be described as "Disney Metal" with a good blend of a poppy style of metal with amazing vocals and great instrumentalists. The Nexus, Maximize and Boom! would be my top recommendations.

[@stevensauer8539]

I was lucky enough to see Kamelot opening for Nightwish on the tour when Annette (the Nightwish singer) was let go and they brought in Floor Jansen (there's a great documentary out there about this). It was the fourth concert with Floor - and only the fifth day since she replaced Annette - and she did great. Kamelot was also wonderful. While they had Tommy at that point (alas, I missed ever seeing Roy), they hadn't yet released the album that this song is from. Not too long later, Kamelot was headlining their own show, with Eklipse and Delain opening. They heavily featured the songs from Silverthorn, and it was glorious. One of my favorite overall albums from Kamelot. Alissa and Elize as always were amazing at the earlier show. The two of them - one dressed in all white, one in all black - doing vocals on March of Mephisto was particularly cool live. The later show featured the ladies of Eklipse - featured on Kamelot's album - joining them on stage for the appropriate songs, and they were great too. Silverthorn has a great story, and some of the songs (as usual for Kamelot) have some very deep and complex lyrics. If you haven't listened to the album as a whole by now, I highly recommend doing so. Their best overall work since the two-parter Epica (the album the band named themselves after) and The Black Halo.

[@cjland8410]

If you wanna hear more Alissa, try Arch enemy “Nemesis” live at Wacken. It’s an official live video and it’s quite the show. For Elize, there’s a few amaranthe songs to try, for a ballad, “Amaranthine”. Another good classic is “Hunger”. A newer song you could try is “Archangel”. Overall amaranthe is a very unique band and I think you’ll get a LOT out of them, there’s 3 vocalists so there’s a lot to decipher Edit: Oh and Elize is 36, so not like starting career young, but still quite young, she just hasn’t really aged in all the years haha

Or very different Nightwish with the song "Slow, love, slow" (can't imagine that one sung by anyone but Anette).

[@zephyr835]

@@Qwarzz Yeah, live from Montreux.

[@NL-SanderH89]

I was there, and what an amazing night it was. Thanks for reviewing this. Another great song is Liar Liar.

[@sVieira151]

This should be great. I predict she'll enjoy Tommy's vocals, and because of that she she totally listen to Seventh Wonder at some point! Edit: great reaction! I hadn't actually seen this performance before. It's wonderful!

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

I've heard two Seventh Wonder songs! We have a Beat Saber playlist the patrons put together for me, and so far it's been on there twice. I will say. . . I might react to one of their songs I haven't heard coming soon. ;-)

Yes! I've been waiting for this. One of my very favorites

[@dikworaekwobiyie]

For more Tommy, I recommend "Forever", "Here's to the Fall", or "Under Grey Skies". For more Alyssa, try Arch Enemy's "Reason to Believe" for a nice mix of clean and harsh vocals.

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

Or "Thank You Pain" from when she was in The Agonist.

[@c2bRa]

none of the arch enemy songs show AWGs potential at all, when you know the songs of the agonist...

FINALLY ELIZABETH HAS BEEN INTRODUCED TO ALISSA WHITE-GLUZ! It was about time.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Thank you!

[@gnomche]

She is awesome, but Allisa is only a princess. The Queen that still holds trone is Angela Gossow. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 the Nemesis perfomance from Tokyo 2008. I was scared and turned on at the same time.

[@hajrahajra6841]

I really like that you notice every detail and that you have a positive attitude towards rock music. I enjoy the criticism. He chooses really good music. I like this channel

[@MaximusSkywlaker]

Seventh Wonder - Tiara's song would be a perfect choice if you want to see Tommy in all his glory

[@unknownapproach9410]

Anything from their live album off the mercy falls story would be great too

[@mastersystem80]

with Seventh Wonder, you can hear him with no restrictions of "Kamelot Style" and he is soooo amazing, making magic with his voice... Mercy falls has some incredible voice lines

[@storpey]

I have to echo this. Tommy Karevik has always been my top vocalist, and I'd imagine Elizabeth would get a huge kick out of his Seventh Wonder chops!

[@nateufford5619]

This song always gives me chills. Every time.

[@MrMeraby]

If you want to hear Alissa White-Gluz doing both styles with Kamelot, check out Liar Liar. It is perhaps the best 1-2 punch of her vocals I've heard. (It is a shame Arch Enemy doesn't generally let her do clean vocals).

[@Crusaderglenn]

Yeah sister,i'm really with you.I love both Tommy and Roy.Kick ass Kamelot!

[@user-jy3tp8mh7w]

You should do "abandoned" with Roy again, and "liar liar" from this same concert. They will blow your mind.

[@fenris1168]

Abandoned is a must!

[@androidparapc7733]

Yeah, that two song will be great

[@kiddfromjerz1659]

And the haunting with SS 🔥👆

[@user-jy3tp8mh7w]

@@kiddfromjerz1659 yeah, but that one is reacted a lot more than the other 2, I'd like to see them before the haunting.

Wander with Roy is also a splendid song !

[@metalsmithnick8714]

Back here again. This song and the singing gives me the goosebumps 🤩

[@praetorxyn]

Elize and Alissa were the original performers for this song (the music video is very worth checking out as well... though the video makes it clear how desperately sad the story of this song is). I recommend checking out Liar Liar next, but the music video has been edited for time and cuts out some of the guitar / keyboard parts... so while the video is great for visuals it may be best to react to a lyric video or a live performance. Liar Liar is one of the few songs where you can hear Alissa sing clean.

[@Aquadoessingingandstuff]

Thank goodness you're reacting to Tommy! Literally melts me every time he sings. My favourite story teller singer, and he is completely self taught!! Omg I'm fan girling but he is seriously such an amazing singer! ❤️

[@JaakkoTK]

Ayreon - Everybody dies, Tommy Karevik is there too! AND Mike Mills!!

[@hisk7263]

Yes. Please

[@claudiac.2184]

One of your vids popped on my KZbin feed and I just had to see all of your reactions and analysis to Kamelot, Epica and Nightwish reactions and I gotta say I loooooveeeeeeeeeee how you really try to know all the members from the bands or collabs. It's a "little" detail not everybody does and it shows so much respect for all the musicians involved. A big hug from Spain!! P.S: 15:12 you're so right!!!

[@Dr_Footbrake]

If you do more Amaranthe be careful as there's a few of the more popular songs that don't feature Elize much. Archangel is probably the best one to check out currently: contains the band's current lineup, shows off decently Elize's vocal capabilities (though still only 3/4 of what she's capable of) and has enough different costumes to start up a costume shop!

[@Lord-Granpa-B]

Dear The Charismatic Voice, I just discovered your channel two days ago. What I can say is your analysis is fantastic. So nice to see someone with such an astute ear for the smallest detail. I'm currently binge-watching your analysis(s). Subscribed and so delighted to have discovered you (it was your teatime w/Maria Franz (mega Heilung fan right here)! ✌️❤👍

[@michaelswanson7843]

100% recommend Phanton Divine so you can also get introduced to Lauren Hart. You are doing a great job of following the white rabbit on this journey, because all of these bands are leading you deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole :)

[@rixyl7475]

Never heard this band before, but I IMMEDIATELY heard Tommy. Never thought I'd hear like 3 words from a singer and immediately recognize them.

[@JarpsHellRider]

you REALLY need to react to the live version of 82nd ALL THE WAY by Sabaton, with Amaranthe (Main band of Elize). The whole song presents 4 singers, not including backing, and it's impressve as hell

[@TheButterflyChaos]

Yep! Really fun to see live too

[@AquilaTempestas]

I would love to see this so much!

[@ghostrecon3214]

It is nice to see a 23min reaction to a 4min song 😄 There is a lot to appreciate. Keep doing what you are doing!

[@ToddPetersen]

Elize Ryd is one of my favorites. I'll buy everything she is on. Her band Amaranthe is unique as it has three singers in every song. The song 'Hunger' put them on the map in 2011 but the song 'Archangel' from last year had really cool costumes.

[@brucemclaughlin7845]

Alissa owns the stage! She's the greatest performer in music today!

[@rsisaac814]

"Into the Black Hole" from Ayreon Universe is performed by Tommy and it's fantastic! Also "Magnetism" from the same show features Tommy, Marco, and Anneke :)

[@GregerBurman]

I think you're ready for some Swedish melodic death metal with Alissa in Arch Enemy. Definitely check out Amaranthe also, they have two more vocalists apart from Elize. So fun to see you discover my favourite performers one after the other.

[@fhammer07]

yes please do Amaranthe! so much fun with three vocalists

[@timothymartin5538]

Saw Kamelot last night in London, female and harsh vocals performed by the singer from Ad infinatum, she knocked it out of the park and they extended the song for a few extra minutes to really show that off, was a great performance all round

[@FanaticDrummer]

Finally some Kamelot!!! Kahn is one of the best and most underrated theatrical and dynamic singers. He has the voice of a Disney movie if it was dark and metal. New singer is good, But Kahn is so untouchable with his delicate tone.

[@HolyAd3pt]

Tommy is so much better lol

[@DarkIntentArts]

I am so happy i was there for this concert in the 013 it was amazing from start to finish!
