[@TheCharismaticVoice]

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

[@brettmoore5561]

I'm not sure if it's been requested before, but can you do Dee Snyder (acoustic), Were not gonna take it.

[@MrRabiddogg]

she has some simple song videos as well. I think there was one with her on a couch with an acoustic guitar in the YT rotation.

[@MrRabiddogg]

have you tried singing a metal song like she does?

[@HansPlatz]

Thank you so much for this video! I really love watching your reactions, so we are honored to have our song on your channel! 🎩🎸🎩

[@DargorHSK]

Congratulations to the number one of Feuerschwanz in the German Album Charts. The bar is set for the The Dark of the Moon debut. 😜

[@fredbarnes2600]

Thanks much for the interaction. It means a lot to all of us!

[@HansPlatz]

@@DargorHSK thanks! challenge accepted! 😆

[@HansPlatz]

@@fredbarnes2600 of course! and music is all about interaction!

[@Puppies03b3eleyySnowflakes]

You're awesome, I'll be annoying everyone by playing this for them til they check you out!

[@drsavage3262]

I think the representation of white dress vs black dress is Jenny of Oldstones/ The ghost of High Heart from the books. Mostly book readers will understand the reference.

[@Magicninja999420]

I swear, EVERYTHING coming out of Napalm Records is fricking epic!

[@bosunbones.8815]

They do have great taste, not going to argue!

[@mikeofmidgard]

Just listened to the recommended original video - to be prepared for the premiere. I must admit, I didn't know the name Melissa Bonny up to now and I am happy you introduced her to me! I'm always curious to learn new musical flavors from you. One of those reasons to be addicted to TCV. Man! How can a graceful young lady growl that way? I'm really amazed! Wow!

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

I can't wait for you to see the interview with her!

[@mikeofmidgard]

@@TheCharismaticVoice Already set the reminder. I will be there with a pot of tea 😀

[@capp00]

Firstly Melissa has a great voice. Fantastic cover of a very cool song. Second, she's adorable!

[@leoallan2225]

She sounds a bit like Sabine from Deadlock.

[@ThomasLePew]

I'd really love seeing a video from you reacting to an original Florence & The Machine song. She has such a gorgeous voice and gives me goosebumps everytime.

[@Trolltex87]

I was hoping to see someone post this!

[@MA-ls1bj]

I have found so many new artists to listen to through your channel including this group. Thank you!

[@dougredshirt3991]

The first time I heard Melissa was listening to "Marching on Versailles", and wow what a surprise her voice was. Been a fan ever since.

[@ThisIsMego]

Yup, same.

[@GrunkleBearnison]

Wow. Wow. Wow. I didn't expect to be brought to tears, but the ending broke me. Absolutely stunning. I will be seeking out more Melissa Bonny, I didn't want her to stop singing either!!

[@blacklions2005]

I just wanted to say thanks for turning me on to some bands I hadn't taken a leap on with these videos. And I absolutely love seeing your reactions to all this music. It's always awesome to see others geek out over their passions.

[@LChrigu]

Hey Elizabeth :) Let's come straight to the point: no one as ever reacted to 'Hear n' Aid - Stars' from 1985 which features (kind of) everybody from the 80ies metal scene - from Dio to Rob Halford, Geoff Tate and Yngwie Malmsteen. Best collab that is out there! I am sure you would absolutely love it :)

[@fvgoya]

Up!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@imppious]

This really needs to happen, even though most of the song is guitar solo.

[@morrisdeutsch6175]

Awesome idea! Would love to see her do Stars!

[@pierreverove3732]

Aaahhhhh !!!!! I’ve been waiting so long for this reaction !!! Yeeeeesss !!!

[@rexey1]

Melissa is fantastic. I think I first heard her with Evenmore and there was undeniable talent. She's gotten better with each project.

[@ejpetewon2006]

Please review their Lord of the Ring's, Enya's May It Be cover, please please please! Melissa and Charlotte totally killed it, the vocal harmonies and background growls, I cry everytime I listen to it! It's so beautiful!

[@davidparker9008]

I am so in love with the Charismatic Voilce. I so love when she finds something that delights her.

[@HHCDNafets]

Thx E for such a great January weekend with such a enriching review and the teatime interview. Melissa really rocks!

[@antivanti]

I remember first coming across her when she sang a cover of Amon Amarth "Twilight Of The Thunder God" with Rage of Light back in 2017. Glad to see that she is now starting to get some major attention

[@heelclickern]

Yup...totally agree! Still one of my favourite covers🤘 And i really liked this take to...

[@Puppies03b3eleyySnowflakes]

I just checked it out, it's amazing thanks for the recommendation!

[@nyrmetros]

Same!

[@kirbys1370]

Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time listening to this song, and I loved the performance. This powerful and enchanting song was mesmerizing, especially when Melissa and the harpist are performing together in the intro/outro. The band was also impressive and Melissa's growls were surprising and amazing. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙

[@briancollis1809]

I first heard Melissa on Rage of Light's "Mechanicals" and it remains one of my favorite metal songs ever... it is SO GOOD! Shame she's not part of that project anymore.

[@fighterdove4937]

OMG!! I agree with you

[@angussharington2374]

"Fallen" is my favorite :)

[@DanielWoike]

I first heard her with Rage of Light as well. They replaced her, with a pretty good singer though. But it was a good project.

[@ox7639]

I just bought the latest "ad infinitum" vinyl and i will definitive buy the "dark side of the moon" one whenever it comes. Hearing that Floor Jansen is Melissas idol, nothing can go wrong. When talent meets work attitide success is guaranteed. These vinyls will be priceless in 20 years as "early Melissa Bonny pieces".

[@sarahrichardson375]

Really enjoyed this. Melissa's ability to flip between vocal styles, is pretty impressive. Melissa reminds me so much of a Canadian vocalist, Loreena McKennitt, particularly on McKinnitt's album, "The Visit". If you have never heard of her, give a listen as I think you might appreciate her vocal style.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Another beautifully enthusiastic reaction, Elizabeth. Melissa Bonny is one of my favourite singers. I first encountered her versatility when she was with Rage of Light. I think this might be the most I've seen so far of her tender side.

[@Thnielsen85]

Oh sh*t... the chorus with screams.. gives me the chills!! She is remarkable! The entire band are phenomenal!

[@mattpiemonte2826]

Yes!! Love this song, group and Melissa in general!

[@vojtechtesar7517]

Oh my god... I just found out about Melissa like a month or two ago but only like past few days I started really paying attention to her and when looking for her songs I found you did not only reaction but also interview with her. What a great job you are doing! Edit: But seriously, anytime I am like "damn I love this singer" you are like:"I got you, bro"

[@Nic0t1ne535]

Elizabeth Zharoff is a huge nerd she hears harsh vocals and she thinks is that night king I'm loving it

[@carloscortez1216]

Wow, Amazing! It blew out my rusty mind! Beatiful art in every aspect!

[@galadballcrusher8182]

The character in white is portrayed by Jenny the harpist of Feuershwanz so yeahhhh and i think the vocals are related to her being a ghost that interacts with Jenny

[@HiFiAlex]

Love Jenny of Oldstones and everything else Melissa is involved with! She is amazingly talented! Elizabeth, I love your reactions and analyses too! If you haven't been asked yet, would you react to videos of a new Italian symphonic metal band Nocturna? "New Evil" and "Daughters Of The Night". Both Grace Darkling and Rehn Stillnight are amazing vocalists! Thanks! :)

[@panman2568]

“The ones who’ve been gone for so very long”. Gives me chills everytime!

[@nerty6]

so there is a Nightwish - Harvest - Live in a Virtual World 2021 video omg

[@crycry410096]

Hi Elizabeth. I love your reactions and your voice. I've never asked for a specific voice or song to be reacted by anyone, but seeing that London Grammar are not to be found here, I must beg, please, please, please, listen and react to London Grammar Wicked Game. Any song or cover done by London Grammar is an amazing experience alone, but this one is special. Hannah has an amazing voice, which I think is underrated.

[@youbertu]

"Yay Napalm!" And so it begins... Another plug for Ann Wilson of Heart...how about "Love Alive" or the classic "Barracuda" from the Little Queen album?

[@Imurai]

Scream, my Queen, SCREAM AT US!!

[@XDSDDLord]

That conclusion took the words straight out of my mouth.

[@seanmcdonald5124]

You have to do WASP Cries in the Night...total 80s hair band but one awesome song.

[@tonydeluna8095]

See you guys tomorrow Elizabeth and Kirk!

[@donaldcampbell3043]

Such a cool video, saw it when it first came out didn't realize I hadn't watched this reaction

[@keef5]

This song was a highlight of season 8

[@fvgoya]

I didn’t know this vocalist. On the intro, she reminds me little of Loreena McKennitt.

[@Kindroth110]

She’s the singer for Ad Infinitum. I like their songs Marching on Versailles and See You in Hell.

[@crhu319]

Yes Loreena with a Vicky Psarakis growl

[@markmclendon8621]

love the Celtic/mystical vibe at the beginning

[@benjamineer3045]

I commented one Melissa what I think she can become not only the Metal world in Elizabeths face to face interview, which definitely everybody that loves this reaction should watch. Here I just like to point a revalation that only came to me today. Dark Side of the Moon is accidental side Project triggered by Melissa and Hans of Feuerschwanz that started out of a silly dare and the line up is Melissa and her fiancee (the drummer, also know for his work with Amaranth) and Hans the Upright (or better Hans Platz) on guitar and Miu Mieze or Jenny Diehl on harp (both of the latter from Feuerschwanz). It took almost 3 months from me to realize that Jenny played the role of Jenny of Oldstone in the music video. Very clever by them very stupid by me to realize so late that Jenny literally is Jenny here :P

[@danyelebowman2541]

She has a beautiful voice!!!!

[@davidgoza5620]

I always love your expression when a woman hits you with harsh vocals unexpectedly.

[@estherbartholdy]

Can't go wrong with Melissa! Great reaction. Sending you love from Guatemala.

Him-funeral of hearts. Best song ever

[@mindremind3289]

OMG! It would be so awesome to see you reacting to Volbeat. The singer Michael Poulsen has such an unique Voice and hits me everytime I listen to them.

[@rickkimmel2110]

I need Hans' hat. That thing rules.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

I think Hans said he only has two top hats. We need to get him more!

[@rickkimmel2110]

@@TheCharismaticVoice I'd pitch in for that 🙂

[@Arzie81]

Was waiting for this one since your video about Warriors of the World united by Feuerschwanz.😆 Such a beautyful song. Have listened to this song about a couple hundred times...but you pointed out things I still didn't notice. Thank you so much for your take on this. I always learn a lot from your videos 🥰

When you said "Dark Side of the Moon" I got excited. Then I realized you didn't mean what I thought you meant. I think I just gave away that I am old.

[@staytuned2L337]

Pod the Rod 💪🏽. This song is fantastic (added to by the lore behind it all), and I'm in love with the story itself.

[@Kishandreth]

7:44 The journey of facial expressions you go on should have earned you skymiles.

[@JeyGore]

I'm not sure if you've had anyone else suggest Infected Rain, or if you've heard of them, but you should really give them a listen. Their new album dropped yesterday. However, I think you should give "Endless Stairs" or "Mold" off their album 86 a listen first. Lena, the vocalist, is someone I believe would make a really good interview. She's a talented lyricist, supreme harsh and clean vocalist and one of the sweetest, most positive people I've ever seen. The entire band is platinum level.

[@blikje_in_de_water]

can't wait to see Melissa Bonny with Ad Infinitum live in november!

[@FreeSpeech4All]

Did I finally hear Amaranthe mentioned? When are we gonna get a reaction video for them... or any of Elyse Ryd's works? 😁

[@what_the_hec7]

Hey, Elizabeth, I got a couple of recomendations I think you'll find interesting. First there's Epica with Unchain Utopia from Omega Alive, it's one of her best performances ever and the stage set up is insane. Also, Celtic Woman's Going Home. It has one wonderful violinist, two amazing sopranos with very different tone qualities and a contralto doing incredible ornaments

[@nerty6]

loved her witch single

[@nerty6]

and her with miracle of sound

[@jhwright3761]

Hi, Elizabeth! Great pick and review. Keep 'em coming ;-).

[@blitzgirl6522]

So glad I recently watched GoT season 8 because I knew to click this!

[@marklondon9004]

Suggestion: 2009 Land of Hope and Glory, Sarah Cononley, Last Night of the Proms.

[@AJ_NL_1963]

The beginning of this song looks very much like Blackmore’s knight. A band very interesting for your channel. Because of lovely great vocals combined with instrumental brilliantness

[@antivanti]

*Blackmore's Night (after Richie Blackmore and his wife Candice Night) And yes would love to see some reactions to them... Also I haven't thought about them in a while. Thanks for reminding! 😊👍

[@MyDania2009]

Hey, yeah yeah...... she is gorgeous and sound like someone really special, but PLEASE don´t forget the incredible sound of the BAND.

[@JannichHolmerIbsen]

Awsome. Please check out a realy unique voice with singer Messiah Marcolin in the swedish band Candlemass? An almost operatic singing in a heavy metal band.

[@MissLoonasSpeech]

Even though the debut with Johan Langquist on vocals is still my favourite Candlemass-album, I fully second your recommendation. If I was to suggest a song with Messiah on vocals, I'd pick "At the Gallows End".

[@JannichHolmerIbsen]

@@MissLoonasSpeech yes I agree with that song, its one my own favorites

[@beneto7582]

Great video, thank you so much! When it comes to GoT-Covers, my absolute favorite is still the "Suite & Rains of Castamere" performed by The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (LIVE). If you would do reaction video to this, I would hang up a giant poster of you over my bed like a teenage boy, and I am 47, lol!

[@littlerambo]

omg I love this song

[@carmelr5504]

As soon as she started screaming I thought of Lauren Babic 😂 girls who can rock both!

[@sirkat344]

Wow. Right away, I 'hear' Candace Night (Blackmore's Night) in this. I knew immediately that I'm liking this song. No- never seen GOT, I don't stream. Anyhoo, oh, this is killer... Yup, gotta find a copy of this for my "car tunes"! Way to go, Elizabeth! Awesomeness twice on a Friday. Happy Weekend to all who dig this. :D

[@vlogsmadebyadam2110]

Omg that scream is so 😍

[@p5gBand]

Did Jenny Diehl do some of the growls too or was that just a scene for the video and Jenny only played Harp (I say only but of course, she is a master at the instrument)

[@quentinfourie8323]

I must suggest a song from another band the vocalist of Blind Gaurdian is in. Band is Demons and Wizards - Fiddler on the Green (band name is great!). I suggest getting the lyrics for context as well although he has a very clean sound in this (for the most part ;)). Even if you listen to it off camera because I know it's not popular, it is beautiful though.

[@jacek_poplawski]

Wow this is actually very good. Dont remember this song in GOT but here the performance is excellent.

[@dawnewing6951]

I actually thought it was LOTR.

[@sethkaicer319]

[@hellbig9959]

When you love this, then you should listen to the band "Anathema" with " UntouchabIe part 1 & part 2". I bet you will be in heaven while you listen to this. It is an unbelievable beautiful song who needs a reaction from you!

[@horsepuncher95]

I fucking love Anathema, Weather Systems is phenomenal, The Lost Child and Internal Landscapes are probably my favourites for his vocals of that album but it's so damn hard to choose coz of how stellar every track is

[@marshall_banana]

so much fun :)

[@BigTyDaFrog]

You should react to fade to black by metallica

[@pierrepineau5040]

Bonjour Elizabeth, that was really good...that woman have soul in her singing and the musicians were very good...I've look to a lot of your reactions and I really appreciate them, it's easy to see that you know what you're talking about when it come to singing an interpretation...because you seem to like charismatic voice I would suggest you to have a look in the Kate Bush material, that woman is a true artist in every sens of the word...not only she have a unique and beautiful voice, but she's a wonderful story teller (I know you like that aspect because I've seen your reaction about Lara Fabian)...she also write her song, sing them and produce them...since the early "80 she was really a pioneer in a lot of aspect (music, singing, first woman to have a number one in the UK chart with a self composed song, first to use a head rest mic in concert, etc.)...if you're interested I would suggest to start with "Running up that hill" or with "A woman's work."....I'm pretty sure you won't regret it...sorry if my English have some mistake, I'm a french speaking guy from Montréal.

Off topic but would love you to critique Richard Cheese (Mark Jonathan Davis) despite his genre he has an incredible voice, and doesn't get near enough credit.

[@SammytheTongue]

You should do Bat out of hell by Meat Loaf!!! If you look at his childhood his father beat him and almost killed him once. he also called him Meat Loaf as a child and it's like a big middle finger to his father. You don't get much more rock n roll than that!

[@oglschmitt]

[@danyelebowman2541]

Still think you should check out Steelheart......

[@Sinewmire]

"The Prince of Dragonflies loved Jenny of Oldstones so much he cast aside a crown, and Westeros paid the bride-price in corpses" Agreed that this is the best thing to come out of S8. Rumour has it that Jenny of Oldstones escaped the disaster at Summerhall that claimed the lives of her husband Duncan Targaryen and so much of his family, and returned to her family's ruined castle, Oldstones and stayed there as a living ghost. There's an old lady who lives nearby, known as the ghost of high heart, who share her prophetic dreams in exchange for being sung this song, and she would always cry. She matches the description of an woods witch who was lady's maid to Jenny of Oldstones.

[@michelricardo5776]

You are amazing😍

[@luisnunes3863]

The Dark Side of the Moon is such an interesting project, it's great to see them on the channel! Elizabeth, on the last reaction, someone said that Iron Maiden is the biggest underground band in the world, because though they are huge, with a gigantic fanbase and legendary status, they have very little mainstream crossover and there are people even in the music business that when one speaks of them go aaaah, how do you spell that... that line of reasoning goes double for Manowar, they're a metal secret, for the iniciates of heavy music alone. Please listen to the much repeated advice in the comments and give it another try with Mountains, the band's most melodic song, one where Eric stays in that sweet spot you identified most of the time. Plus at least two more points of interest (no spoilers). kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ-liKyuj6uJoqs

[@oglschmitt]

You could tell she was very intrigued by Eric's voice and the bands showmanship. Wouldn't surprise me to see another Manowar reaction soon.

[@wraithsong24-7]

Great suggestion Luis!

[@Quexyz]

Ooh, excellent pick. And if we're talking bands of great influence, but relatively little fanfare recognition Anvil should certainly be considered as well.

[@Broccoli_Highkicks]

Manowar are nowhere near as big as Iron Maiden, though. Not even close. I don't know where you're getting this 'nobody outside metal knows Iron Maiden' stuff, but it sounds like romanticised nonsense to me. There's three classic metal bands EVERYONE who hasn't spent their life under a rock has heard of: Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Iron Maiden. Five, if you want to add Judas Priest and Slayer.

[@oglschmitt]

@@Broccoli_Highkicks Everybody knows Metallica. They are as much a mainstream band as a metal band now. Who can't sing the chorus to "Enter Sandman" on command?Plenty of people may have heard the name Iron Maiden, but outside of the metal fanbase, how many actually know any Maiden songs. They can pack a large venue full of fans, but you won't hear them on top 40 radio. Ozzy Osbourne is a mainstream name.As a result a lot of people. have heard OF Black Sabbath, but how many of those people have any familiarity with Sabbath's material? In the mainstream, Slayer and Priest are known for their notoriety more than their body of work. I think you are confusing awareness with familiarity. Louis's point WAS that Manowar is not as big as Maiden, but they still have an incredibly large and loyal fanbase for a band with almost no mainstream presence.

[@roberthollobaugh2409]

you would probably love Swiss folk metal band Eluveitie
