Brittney Slayes - Queen of the Reich Karaoke - Edinburgh

[@12344567ist]

Ain't no fucking auto-tune here baby, she is the real deal, raw talent, in your face. gives me chills.

Brittney Slayes doing kareoki is like Usain Bolt running in the fathers' race on school sports day...

Ok ...so this is after a show , cheesy karaoke bar equipment , recorded on a cell phone .....and she still sounds AMAZING....... She is a Queen.

[@themadmattster9647]

this is almost better than their official cover of the song

[@BrotherBadger123]

What makes You think it's Cheesey Bar Equipment ?!?! I know Karaoke Host that have State of the Art PA Systems that can make anybody Sound Good. ALL Pros Use PRO Equipment, just because they are Hosting Karaoke does not Mean they are not Professional Singers. It means they Don't do Concerts in Large Arenas like Most Professional Singers.

After an entire tour worth of shows. Amazing.

[@vlavoie6893]

She's truly amazing

[@adameves5970]

She's a chick. This song is crazy for a guy, like Tate. But for a chick's register, this should be a walk in the park. Put it in perspective before you say random things without thinking.

[@earendilthemariner5546]

@@adameves5970 how about YOU. It seems to me he meant still going that high after doing an entire show

[@gordoncoon5371]

So it turns out that as a result of this video being seen by Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon /Star One ) she was offered and performed on the Star One track - Fate of Man. Arjen knows talent when he sees it as the list of musicians he's worked/works with include ; Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden Floor Jansen -Nightwish Steve Vai James Labrie - Dream theatre Russell Allen - Symphiny X Simone Simons - Epica The talent pool he has access to is a who's who of modern and golden era metal. To say that Brittany fits in perfectly is an understatement.

[@TheIncredibleMalk]

We were there with them after the show, was ace banter. I was planning going up and singing Alice Cooper but then Brittney did this and I was like "nope, not following that!" haha

[@jamescurfman3284]

Very smart of you. :)

[@jmscoving]

Not no but hell no 👍

[@StarOfArtemis]

Watching the video I thought jesus, imagine just thinking you're gonna go up and sing casually and then Brittney Slayes shows up out of the blue!!? You know all the others just noped outta there😂

[@flekkzo]

Missed opportunity of a lifetime. You could have told everyone for the rest of your life that Brittney Slayes opened for you:)

[@ConfessorEpicness]

You know your on another level entirely when you sing Queen of the Ryche for fun...

[@Zaaxun]

She is opera trained, no problem hitting those notes. Mind blowing voice!!

Late to the show…what the hell👀👀👀one of my favorite songs in 80s…made me tear up..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Bravo..

[@VoxBox2000]

It's NOT just the vocal range that is difficult for most vocalists, but also, the resonance and tone are a key part of being successful in singing this.

[@henriqueochoa3219]

Dude WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** this is absolutely fantastic

[@hemioperator]

We also have to acknowledge her masterful use of “finger guns” on display here. Simply amazing.

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

This a a genuine "Nobody can sing this song in a karaoke Bar" Brittney "Hold my beer"

[@jeffk1482]

Literally!!! She picks it up at the end - laughed my ass off at that.

[@fofrankstank]

It's one of her major influences !

[@monfe5532]

I'd love to hear her sing trooper, hallowed be thy name, and infinite dreams

[@UltraPvnk]

Infinite Dreams! U know what u r talking about. Song where Dickinson best sang.

[@TheIncredibleMalk]

Grant from Unleash the Archers did The Number of the Beast that same night, he knocked it out of the park. Would love to hear Brittney sing a Bruce song though, agreed.

[@TheinvisibleorangeMetal]

They used to close their set with Out of the Silent Planet back in 2014

[@racewiththefalcons1]

Infinite Dreams is the most underrated Maiden song. It might be my favorite of theirs, actually.

[@0num4]

@@racewiththefalcons1 That's a fantastic song, from a fantastic album. Seventh Son doesn't get enough praise, being the concept album...but I love it.

[@apixphotographystudios]

Seriously now? After the show? This woman is a top-notch artist. I really wish she receives in the future to come the recognition she deserves. Indeed an outstanding singer.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Actually, Unleash the Archers is an award-winning band, having won the Juno (Canadian Grammy) for 2020 Metal Album of the Year, for the album Abyss. Yes, she is _that good._

[@garybumgarner3814]

Holy shit at her vocal range. She definitely slay it. Mind blown

[@Danyloww]

Although it is funny how she is acting and performing, it is really nice to see that she is loving and enjoying every moment of singing and being herself. No need to say how much I adore her and her voice.

[@JoeWuhPuh]

I mean she was completely bladdered at the time, so that explains the goofiness of some of it

[@Danyloww]

I don't judge her at all...

[@Rancid-Jane]

She definitely was enjoying it.

[@MandoMonge]

She’s all I look for in a partner (that explains why I’m single xD). She also looks hella cute with glasses

[@bananas1318]

What makes this video so much better than it already is, is the fact that Brittney looks like shes having so much fun on stage. I love when a band looks like theyre happy when theyre performing, i know its a career and sometimes it can be stressing.. but to me when the people performing are full of energy and they look happy.. it makes the experience that much better.

[@Rancid-Jane]

She definitely was enjoying it.

[@HOFFAMVA]

Of all the bands I’ve seen over the past 38 years, UtA and Sabaton are the two who seemed to have the most fun onstage and genuinely wanted to make sure their fans had just as much fun. 🤘

As a vocalist myself all i can say Brittany is absolutely awesome.

[@tskwerl]

"Hey, mates! Let's head down to the pub and belt out a few karaoke tunes!" "All right, dude. You're on!" *walk in the door to this* "Sooo... call it a night, then?" "Yeah, I'm good." :D

I wonder how many in the bar knew who Brittney was (is)... and how lucky they were to be there that night!

Off and running no room for mistakes and Nails it!! Kudos and well done Brittney. Simply start to finish. No slow warm up just go for it now opening wail. She stays with one of the hardest vocalists to imitate. Beauty, and such range. Brittney unleashed!!
