You should check out Lizzy's performance of, "Familiar Taste of Poison," live on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, I believe it was. It's truly amazing in my opinion. Especially when you consider that it is live.
Lzzy Hale is amazing. If you feel like digging, she documents the steps she took to maintain her voice; no alcohol, more sleep, one coffee then only water, etc. She has been very deliberate in her efforts to keep her voice; she said something along the lines of 'some people don't have to make these changes, I do.'
Yes! I gained so much respect for her when I read that article about her. She also exercises daily to keep up her cardiovascular abilities, does not eat dairy or sugar. She is so dedicated.
I think she sounds even better live, I've taken my daughters to 3 of her concerts and live is just unreal, the power in her voice is unbelievable. I can thank Halestorm for making my girls rock/metal fans!
seems to be a thing of the past. back in the day southern rock bands were the same way.unless of course, they got into one of their 30 min jams. witch was still great
Just saw Halestorm last month and this woman was as strong as steel the entire show. Never cheated a note. Probably the very best vocalist' on the Rock music scene. Male or female. She takes the crown. And above all that, her little brother is one of the best drummers/ showman around. Finally, they are kind and very sweet folks.
I have seen halestorm 7 times in the last 12 years and meet and greet 4 times, though none recently. She's stonger than steel. Always. She's also very short.
I love Floor. And she is spot on. I mean when it comes to rock music in total it's hard to find a lead that actually can really sing. Like real singers. I think she gave me hope in rock music.
I honestly did a search a moment ago to see if there was some sort of colab between Lzzy and Floor.. Those two have the most amazing voices... Floor has so many different sounds and voices too, that I am sure they could find a way to stack their sounds so well.
Lzzy Hale said on Twitter: "Actually, the song “I miss The Misery” is a metaphor for the relationship we all have with misery. We as humans are addicted to torturing ourselves via drugs and alcohol, internet negativity. We all struggle with wanting to go back relationships we know are bad for us….."
@@bigh1708 I could talk about them and their music for hours, they've been my favorite band for around a decade. If you need any song suggestions I'm happy to oblige.
Personal fun fact from me: This music video was filmed in my home town of Flint and "The Machine Shop", that you see in the beginning, is our local rock spot for up coming bands. I saw her live here and she truly touched my soul. Her band members were outside playing cornhole with us while waiting to get inside before the show. She came out and talked with us for a bit also. She was so moved by our crowd that she actually cried on stage. She is such a sweet person.
I met her at the house of blues in Cleveland when she opened up for papa roach . A big snow storm was coming so everyone hurried up to leave and we went around where the tour busses were and they came walking out with papa roach. They all invited us to some bar and we hung out with both bands for almost 3 hours . Cool people all of them and down to earth
"Looks like it's about to end and I'm not okay with that yet." - Legit me every time I hear Lzzy Hale sing anything. I am SO glad you've discovered her. I really can't wait to see you react more to her. I got to meet her at a show twice in one night and she was just the most wonderful human. The band would talk with their fans all night if their manager allowed it :D
First time I ever saw them live, she strode out onto the stage and grabbed 50,000 or so of us by our souls. She was a ROCK STAR, and we had no choice but to acknowledge it. Very few performers have her stage presence.
I’ll say I’m sure that happened, I’m in New Zealand. She partnered with an amazing female lead metal band here in NZ for some shows. I was a massive fan before this was announced. But when she played here. She was burnt the fuck out. Like she put her all. But her voice was fried. This was in the early days when I bet they were touring 365 24/7 it was sad to see though.
Lzzy has such an aggressive voice, but powerful and electric and not hostile. It's beautiful. Her sound is raw and it makes for such amazing connection to the lyrics. I find her poignant and amazing
theres so much great Lzzy Hale content out there. She collaborates with SO many artists. I suggest looking up her duet of Break In with Amy Lee, Song of Women with The Hu, and Shatter Me with Lindsey Stirling in particular
She did a duet with Eric Church for the CMAs a few years ago and she went full beast on that, serious punch! Was lucky enough to see them live a few years ago and she was fantastic too
I discovered Halestorm a few years back when they supported Shinedown here in England, and was a fan pretty quickly, but Familiar Taste of Poison solidified it for me. It was so atmospheric and epic hearing it
Ooooh man...if you enjoyed Lzzy, you GOTTA listen to her collaboration with The Hu singing Song of Women. What a BEAUTIFUL mix of cultures, talents, and skills.
I have seen Halestorm live, and Lizzy's voice is every bit as good live as in the studio. I can't believe anyone can sing with the range and power she has and not blow out their vocal cords. She is a freak of nature! Her and the band are incredible.
I highly recommend “Freak Like Me” to really show off the range of her voice with the grit. She hits one note and holds it for forever and then somehow bend the note up instead of fading down like you naturally would. Insane vocal talent
My husband had that phrase FREAK LIKE ME tattooed on his arm along with LZZYs autograph and we both have the halestorm logo, love em xx he has met them with our daughter and myself omg lzzy is tiny! The band is amazing am seeing them in 2022 cannot wait and hope they do a meet and greet as its at a smaller more personal venue, the barralands in Glasgow xx
Specifically when she sings Familiar Taste of Poison, LIVE. She executes these insane vocalics, just her voice with sustained notes. Freakin' GOOSEBUMPS, people!! When I hear her this song in particular, I feel this uncontrollable pull from the core of my soul out and hear my voice ringing out with her no matter where I am.
"Wow, It, it looks like it's about to end here, and I'm not, I'm not OK with that yet ..." Gold, Elizabeth, Gold. I've only just discovered Lizzy's vocals and I'm loving her more and more every time I hear her. This is probably my favourite song of hers so far. Thanks again for analysing this song.
The live versions of this are pretty friggin awesome. Lzzy gets that whistle scream in and you can damn near feel it in your bones. She's an amazing singer.
Lzzy Hale was born in the wrong decade. If this song had been released in 1987 or 88, it would've been huge! As far as I'm concerned, Lzzy is the rightful heir to Lita Ford and Joan Jett's throne atop Rock/Hard Rock.
I saw that when it came out and to me that was a cringy performance with vocals sounding nervous, forced and not in tune. But hey, that's just MY opinion! =)
OMG I would LOOOOVE to see this! I've been a huge fan of theirs since they first put out a 4 song demo before Beautiful Tragedy was released. I was hooked within the first 30 seconds and have been ever since. And GD did I love them live. It's now my mission to put this recommendation in every new reaction from Elisabeth!!
Back when Lzzy Hale still drank, I was at a music festival in the VIP section & ended up doing a shot with Lzzy Hale & Ivan Moody from Five Finger Death Punch. Both fantastic, down to earth people.
2 years or so ago...I got to see Evanescence with orchestra(for the 2nd time!) and Lindsey Sterling touring together ... and she had Amy Lee sing Shatter me , was amazing
Her vocals are amazing. She is going 100% in this song. I love the smooth and the gritty like the love and the hate of the lyrics. She must have some incredible control not to blow out her voice. You can hear and see the anger in the video. Great song!
Ya gotta check out their song "FREAK LIKE ME". she hits an impossible note and holds it for awhile. Thanks for helping us learn more about how music is actually made! 🤟
lzzy hale has the most INCREDIBLE voice oh my god !!!! seeing her live last week at wembly i have never heard a vocie with so much power and presence. wow wow wow! she really is the best female rock singer i swear down
Another Halestorm rec for you: Heart of Novocaine. It's an acoustic track and there's a live studio session of the band performing it a little over a year ago. No post production, just instruments and vocals, and Lzzy brings the thunder. From the low notes to the high belts, clean singing at the start to that hard Lzzy grit. And lots of close ups to see what her mouth and neck are doing. Great track for really analyzing her vocal work in action. And just a great track in general
Lizzy is just badasss... That voice is beyond belief and I think she's very deliberate in how she drives her punches. Her power and emotion comes through as if she's uncovering just a portion. There's definitely more to come. I love listening to her, would really love to sing a duet with her(in my dreams)....lol Thanks for covering her. I also thoroughly enjoyed your coverage of Cash's "Hurt".... That song, as well this song, speaks to my emotions...........a lot.
I've had the absolute pleasure of seeing Halestorm play 5 times now. I believe the first show I went to was 2012. And holy moly... They slay it every. single. time. They sound almost exactly the same as on their albums... her "belts", "screams", "high notes" (not sure of the correct term) that she sings live are so much better live and in person. Maybe it's because I admire her so much and have since the day I found out about Halestorm. It just hits different live and in such a beautiful and powerful way. Not to mention Lzzy, Arejay, Joe, and Josh are super duper kind and humble and such sweet humans. I have a signed poster from them hanging up in my room. It's my most cherished possession 😂🖤🤘
Lzzy is an amazing singer. I took my stepdaughter to see Halestorm in concert for a Christmas gift 2 years ago and they were just as great live. This is a good song choice to be introduced to her vocal style with. :)
Saw Halestorm for the third time last Friday and they just keep getting better. Just for fun I took a noise meter and I miss the misery was in the mid 90 dB (A) range but that ‘hurt’ Elizabeth mentioned took the peak level up to 106.6dD (A)! Lzzy has one powerful voice. By the way they supported Alter Bridge and Myles is also an amazing singer.
Hello Elizabeth, this is a first listen to this for me too. Wow Lizzy Hale is such a good singer, great power. I love your reactions, I am always surprised how giddy you get.
I love Pretty Reckless. I think her voice is getting the grit and control she always wanted more recently. I would LOVE to see @CharismaticVoice react to "We Will Rock You" with Lzzy Hale, Taylor Momsen and Marina Brink. Kick. Ass.
You should check out that video that was linked at the end of her singing Break In with Amy Lee. Too many people have been sleeping on that team up and it’s so good
I love how expressive your facials features are when you’re listening. I just found your channel through TH-cam suggestions and wasn’t instantly interested but when I watched your episode with Metallica “One” I was drawn in. Very nice work and it’s fun to watch.
Oh man they have so many good songs! I Am The Fire, Here's To Us, Mz Hyde, Uncomfortable, and so many more. Edit: Now that I watched the video I see you've heard Here's To Us. You really need to listen to I Am The Fire. Same awesome lyrics and same powerhouse vocals plus an awesome video. Also highly recommend her duet with Lindsey Sterling called Shatter Me. Her vocals on that song give me chills every single time. Also an amazing video!
When the world suffocates me with negativity it’s such a relief to watch Elizabeth’s videos. She’s so wholesome it’s like an antidote to the everyday bs.
I saw Halestorm live at Summerfest in Milwaukee years ago before they became a well known band. I think they only had one single out at that time. They were opening for the headliner at that stage. When she got on the piano and played "Break In", they literally had the entire crowd speachless. That was when i knew they were going to be big. The entire concert that night was amazing. Great show and great vocals for a live performance.
I just love how excited you get! Lzzy Hale takes her vocals pretty serious and I just love how smart she is with her voice. The song Break In by Halestorm would be a good one to review.
Halestorm has a song called Freak Like Me and in it Lzzy hits this crazy high and long note. It sounds so crazy that you think it was extended in production, but no, because she hit it at her live concerts too. Absolutely insane fierce voice
Ok so I found this looking at Halestorm vids... As a 58 year old man people find it odd that Lzzy is my favorite singer but that voice is just so unforgettable. And your delivery of your take is simply awesome. I've neve= seen one of your vids before But the more I listened to you the more I liked you! Your smile m and enthusiasm is so natural, you gave me takes on her singing that I can't put into words but you did. Simply love discovering different things - like you, thanks.
Best thing about all your videos is seeing your actual reaction. Unlike a lot of people you actually show it on your face and it really draws a person into the video. Such an amazing way of breaking it down and explaining everything.
Flyleaf missed out on a great singer. Lacey was the meat of the band and well now it's what's her name. Lacey could grab your attention and make you feels chills. "I'm So Sick" is what got me. I was wow.
Pre-Covid, i think they used to run about 250-300 shows per year. I question why her voice hasn't popped yet either. Seen them live twice....she belts it out just as good if not better live. Love it!! One of the best female rock vocalist to come out in a long time.
I have seen them live twice and they kill it every step of the way. Have you done I am the Fire? I think that is probably my favorite of theirs, the lyrics hit with me and the power she packs is absolutely amazing!
YEEEES! Elizabeth! Halestorm needs more reactions. Lzzy is amazing, I've seen Halestorm live four times and she is as amazing! Thank you for reacting to Halestorm. I love your music choice variety.
Actually, a great one to watch is Lzzy and Eric Church live at the 2014 CMA awards. Prime example of how a vocalist can completely change the tone of a song.
And cause Nicole Kidman to ask "who the f*ck is that?" on live tv. (That part has been edited out from the video since the first time I saw it but Lzzy has mentioned it as well.) Also, I saw them do this song live in Boise, while obviously sick, and she still blew Church out of the water.
Would love to see you react to The Pretty Reckless! I'd recommend "25 (unplugged)" as the song has a lot of emotion but the editing seems fairly minimal. I'd definitely put Taylor Momsen right up there with lzzy Hale.
Listen to the song “break in” from halestorm feat. Amy lee it’s done beautifully and it’s just the 2 of them live singing in a recording studio together
Oh my goodness I've never watched this channel before but I absolutely love this song and this was awesome! I love how impressed you seemed with her voice, and the way you explain exactly what's going on in terms of making those sounds.
Lzzy is a force of nature, it's like hearing a lioness roar straight to your face. SHE. IS. FIERCE. Elisabeth, if you liked her on the studio recording, check out Halestorm's live performances please, there she givers her very best. And thanks for reacting to my top female crush XD
Lzzy is honestly one of the best vocalists around these days, and her guitar definitely places her with the gods. What's even better is her mainstream appeal. She's guested with acts across the spectrum, from Lindsey Stirling to Eric Church to MGK to In This Moment. She does ballads and hard-driving rock and everything in between. This is a once-in-a-generation talent and a true successor to Lita Ford and Joan Jett.
When I saw Halestorm July 2022, Lzzy between songs mentioned and thanked her vocal coach/teacher in high school, for giving her the foundations of good vocal technique. Great moment and appreciation
I think her most powerful recorded live vocal may be when she was invited to duet "That's Damn Rock n, Roll" with Eric Church at the CMA awards. Her gritty screams were amazing!
I was a music student in college, at the end of ever term (semester) we would put on a gig. My band chose to cover this as the final song of our set, and damn was it the most fun but vocally challenging thing I’ve ever done. Hands down best performance we ever did
I was hoping you’d get to Halestorm. They are amazing and Lizzy’s voice is great. She and Amy Lee do an amazing song called “Break In” and their voices are amazing together. She also does an excellent song with The Hu “Song of Women.” You should take a look at them.
With all due respect, you are STUNNINGLY beautiful Miss Elizabeth (& you have an absolutely flawless smile)!I love the channel, love the reaction vids, love your singing, and positively adore your enthusiasm! Keep doing what you do!
I don't want to think about my age, but that song was bringing back to my head banging days. The big hair metal and hard rock bands of the 80'S. Thank you for reacting to this song. Brought back good memories!!!! I need to buy more music (Halestorm).
if you like that, check out the halestorm covers album, she sings skid row, dio, cinderella, heart and more, and even does duets with sabatian bach of skid row, and tom keifer(sp) from cinderella and a beautiful duet cover of close my eyes forever with lita ford herself, i mean there's no doubt she was highly inspired by 80's rock/metal, and i couldn't love her more for it lol
@@rickjames2043 i do too lol some 200+ cassettes and nearly 200 cds of old school rock/metal, my momma started me out right in the 70's with black sabbath and the eagles and led zepplin, all that good shit lol
@@rickjames2043 unfortunately any and all actual albums i've had are long gone, but so are any record players that i've ever had lol so i guess it doesn't matter. these crystal clear cd recordings are nice but there's just something classic and nostalgic about that record scratch sound with music
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
You should check out Lizzy's performance of, "Familiar Taste of Poison," live on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, I believe it was. It's truly amazing in my opinion. Especially when you consider that it is live.
I love the reaction and breakdown for this!!! well done and thank you

@Vicky Knight I would love to know WHERE this is documented?
Yes! I gained so much respect for her when I read that article about her. She also exercises daily to keep up her cardiovascular abilities, does not eat dairy or sugar. She is so dedicated.
I think only cocaine and bourbon can give this voice :)))
@@celesteroberts2890 No dairy? I'm out.
She does a song with Lindsey Stirling called “Shatter Me”. So good!
I was literally about to suggest it when I spotted your comment.
I'll just casually drop this link here th-cam.com/video/49tpIMDy9BE/w-d-xo.html 😊
I was going to suggest that too.
@@nickbrown6754 this live version is awesome th-cam.com/video/VYSs1w22a_w/w-d-xo.html
So much this!!!!
I agree! The combination of Lizzy Hale and Lindsey Sterling is fantastic!
Love Halestorm. One of the few bands I've seen that sounds nearly spot on live as they do on the album.
I think she sounds even better live, I've taken my daughters to 3 of her concerts and live is just unreal, the power in her voice is unbelievable. I can thank Halestorm for making my girls rock/metal fans!
seems to be a thing of the past. back in the day southern rock bands were the same way.unless of course, they got into one of their 30 min jams. witch was still great
I stack them in with the likes of RJD, Iron Maiden and Priest when it comes to live/studio sound. Absolutely love them.
I've made this same comment to many others.
You have got to do halestorm "taste of poison". She did it on "Jimmy Kimmel" really shows a different side to her voice...
Just saw Halestorm last month and this woman was as strong as steel the entire show. Never cheated a note. Probably the very best vocalist' on the Rock music scene. Male or female. She takes the crown. And above all that, her little brother is one of the best drummers/ showman around. Finally, they are kind and very sweet folks.
I have seen halestorm 7 times in the last 12 years and meet and greet 4 times, though none recently. She's stonger than steel. Always. She's also very short.
She can express anger, love, longing, even sarcasm while singing a single song. Would love to hear you break down Taste of Poison.
She CAN do this live. Her live vocals are nuts.
There's a full live concert on TH-cam where she shows off her awesome musicianship. th-cam.com/video/u7zuAlf5FBo/w-d-xo.html
She is even better live
@@Imurai I was there. Couple of mates had never heard of Halestorm, other than what I told them. They're converts now.
@@DieyoungDiefast I envy you so much right now 😄
The best love performance I've ever seen.
Fun Fact: Floor Jansen was asked in an interview who her favorite female metal singer was and she said Lzzy Hale from Halestorm.
I was gonna say this! That's like the highest compliment in the world
I love Floor. And she is spot on. I mean when it comes to rock music in total it's hard to find a lead that actually can really sing. Like real singers. I think she gave me hope in rock music.

My Halestorm vote is "I am the Fire". She really shows off her singing and her power in that one IMO.
That was going to be my recommendation as well!
Especially the live version!!!
Agreed. Should have been that one live. Best version I've seen was a later one when she had short hair.
this! watch the live version!
Yesss
First time I ever saw them live, she strode out onto the stage and grabbed 50,000 or so of us by our souls. She was a ROCK STAR, and we had no choice but to acknowledge it. Very few performers have her stage presence.

Saw them live at Copenhell 2019, it was one long party. Lzzy just took control of the crowd, great fun.
i would recommend "Love Bites (so do I)", it's even more insane than "I miss the misery"
Agreed. The bridge of the song is absolutely epic.
The Acoustic version from the live room is just brain-melting. Anyone who doubts her ability to perform hasn't heard it yet.
I was gonna say this.
Great tune !!!
Definitely
Lzzy has such an aggressive voice, but powerful and electric and not hostile. It's beautiful. Her sound is raw and it makes for such amazing connection to the lyrics. I find her poignant and amazing
I'm convinced half their tour budget is replacing mics when they spontaneously burst into flames when she screams.
It 100% is 😂 I was at a concert of theirs a few days ago and by the second song they had to replace the mic
theres so much great Lzzy Hale content out there. She collaborates with SO many artists. I suggest looking up her duet of Break In with Amy Lee, Song of Women with The Hu, and Shatter Me with Lindsey Stirling in particular
Definitely Shatter Me. That is a great one.
Song of Women was best track of 2020.
Definitely second checking out Lizzy hale with the Hu song of women
@@crhu319 I like the song, but the mix has her vocals quiet compared to The Hu. Sometimes it's hard to hear her.
She did a duet with Eric Church for the CMAs a few years ago and she went full beast on that, serious punch!
Was lucky enough to see them live a few years ago and she was fantastic too
Familiar Taste of Poison really shows off her singing ability
And rock show.
Familiar taste of poison is seriously underrated.
Familiar Taste of Poison is absolutely amazing and mesmerizing! Would love to see a reaction to that song.
I discovered Halestorm a few years back when they supported Shinedown here in England, and was a fan pretty quickly, but Familiar Taste of Poison solidified it for me. It was so atmospheric and epic hearing it
Ooooh man...if you enjoyed Lzzy, you GOTTA listen to her collaboration with The Hu singing Song of Women. What a BEAUTIFUL mix of cultures, talents, and skills.
Early frontrunner for Crossover/Collaboration Band of the Century. Really dig these guys!
The Hu is awesome... full stop.
I like The Hu, but not that song you have to listen Yuve Yuve Yu, i think is the best
I second this statement.
I love that collab! Such a great song. ^^
I love the way you get all giddy and geek out at really good vocalists. Everyone should do something they love as much as you love singers/singing!
I have seen Halestorm live, and Lizzy's voice is every bit as good live as in the studio. I can't believe anyone can sing with the range and power she has and not blow out their vocal cords. She is a freak of nature! Her and the band are incredible.

One my fav all time
Fry control
My husband had that phrase FREAK LIKE ME tattooed on his arm along with LZZYs autograph and we both have the halestorm logo, love em xx he has met them with our daughter and myself omg lzzy is tiny! The band is amazing am seeing them in 2022 cannot wait and hope they do a meet and greet as its at a smaller more personal venue, the barralands in Glasgow xx
Girl crush, it's killer...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Her vocals shine so well in "Familiar Taste of Poison" and "Innocence". There's this HUGE range for her.
Two insanely great songs
Wanna showcase purely the vocals? I am the fire is insane
I came to the comments to suggest "Familiar Taste of Poison", really amazing song.
Specifically when she sings Familiar Taste of Poison, LIVE. She executes these insane vocalics, just her voice with sustained notes. Freakin' GOOSEBUMPS, people!! When I hear her this song in particular, I feel this uncontrollable pull from the core of my soul out and hear my voice ringing out with her no matter where I am.
'Rock show' , 'You call me a bitch like it's a bad thing ' too
"Wow, It, it looks like it's about to end here, and I'm not, I'm not OK with that yet ..." Gold, Elizabeth, Gold. I've only just discovered Lizzy's vocals and I'm loving her more and more every time I hear her. This is probably my favourite song of hers so far. Thanks again for analysing this song.
Favorite songs from her are "I am the Fire"and "I like it heavy" the ending of the second one is absolutely beautiful
I Like It Heavy is probably my favorite song by Halestorm
The live versions of this are pretty friggin awesome. Lzzy gets that whistle scream in and you can damn near feel it in your bones. She's an amazing singer.
Lzzy Hale was born in the wrong decade.
If this song had been released in 1987 or 88, it would've been huge!
As far as I'm concerned, Lzzy is the rightful heir to Lita Ford and Joan Jett's throne atop Rock/Hard Rock.
ive said for YEARS that she is our (30 somethings) generation's joan jett... high five for sharing the comparison
Very much agreed
Yes. Halestorm takes me back to the mid-80s, and *I love it*!
Lita and Joan? More like Ann Wilson...she is 70 and still sing like a godess!
@@ImDembe Whoa there! Slow down! Ann Wilson is in a league all her own. Let's not get crazy here!
Nice to see you review halestorm. The best song for you to review is "familiar taste of poison", the live version on the jimmy fallon show.
I saw that when it came out and to me that was a cringy performance with vocals sounding nervous, forced and not in tune. But hey, that's just MY opinion! =)
Yes, yes, yes!! 😄👍🏻
I second this, but the music video version.
@@TheMack I'll agree that it sounded like she was trying a bit too hard, I love Lzzy and she sounds best relaxed just doing what she does.
Familiar taste of poison is definitely the numer 1 song that I would want reviewed on this channel. So much emotion and so tastefully done.
Their version of Bad Romance is great. Also, Lzzy does a great duet with David Draiman of the song ‘Close my eyes forever’.
It’s a cover of an Ozzie Osbourne and lita Ford song.
Their version of hearts all I wanna do is make love to you is absolutely amazing and dare I say better than the original 😳🙊
Thanks for the info I'm excited to check this out.
I had no idea she collaborated with Draimen! Both their bands are in my top 5
Has she discovered "In This Moment" yet? Talk about great female vocals, Maria Brink of their group is incredible.
In this moment would be great!
Big Bad Wolf.
OMG I would LOOOOVE to see this! I've been a huge fan of theirs since they first put out a 4 song demo before Beautiful Tragedy was released. I was hooked within the first 30 seconds and have been ever since. And GD did I love them live. It's now my mission to put this recommendation in every new reaction from Elisabeth!!
Maria brink 🤤
I would absolutely love to hear her react to Maria
Back when Lzzy Hale still drank, I was at a music festival in the VIP section & ended up doing a shot with Lzzy Hale & Ivan Moody from Five Finger Death Punch. Both fantastic, down to earth people.
You should check out Halestorm with Amy Lee from Evanescence performing “Break In”, their voices are amazing together
This. They're sooooooo good together.
Yesss!!!
Omg yeeeeeesssss I love their song together Break in actually had my shed some tears cause it was so beautiful and passionate in my opinion
I think I was the only person that didn't like this...
I prefer the studio version they did, over the one they did during social distancing.
I would recommend that one specifically.
Now that you’ve been introduced to Lizzy Hale you need to analyze “Break In” a duet with Lizzy Hale and Amy Lee from Evanescence .
Try Shatter Me by Lyndsey Sterling, Lzzy Hale is the vocalist on it.
Sirius XM version only, the acoustic one.
@@romanzbawiciel5221 it's ok but the official video is so much better
I agree. I have been to a couple of Lindsay performances. Lizzie was on tape🙁. Not touring for one song.
2 years or so ago...I got to see Evanescence with orchestra(for the 2nd time!) and Lindsey Sterling touring together ... and she had Amy Lee sing Shatter me , was amazing
* Lindsey Stirling
Her vocals are amazing. She is going 100% in this song. I love the smooth and the gritty like the love and the hate of the lyrics. She must have some incredible control not to blow out her voice. You can hear and see the anger in the video. Great song!
Ya gotta check out their song "FREAK LIKE ME". she hits an impossible note and holds it for awhile. Thanks for helping us learn more about how music is actually made! 🤟
Every time she hits that note I swear it's a guitar
Lzzy and Amy Lee have a beautiful duet called “Break In” that I think you’ll really enjoy - check it out! Their voices compliment each other so well.
Halestorm performing “Familiar Taste of Poison” at the WZZO Studios. This is such an amazing live performance, highly recommend!
I love the version they did on Jimmy Fallon.
"It looks like this song is about to end and I'm not ok with that". - That's how I feel in the final moments of most Halestorm songs.
I related to that sentence all too well.
Same
That feeling is amplified x100 at their shows 😭
lzzy hale has the most INCREDIBLE voice oh my god !!!! seeing her live last week at wembly i have never heard a vocie with so much power and presence. wow wow wow! she really is the best female rock singer i swear down
Love the joy you always display when listening to various singing styles. It's infectious.
She’s just as powerful in live shows. It’s insane.
I highly recommend “Familiar Taste of Poison” by Halestorm! The song is phenomenal and gives me chills every time I listen to it!
Another Halestorm rec for you: Heart of Novocaine. It's an acoustic track and there's a live studio session of the band performing it a little over a year ago. No post production, just instruments and vocals, and Lzzy brings the thunder. From the low notes to the high belts, clean singing at the start to that hard Lzzy grit. And lots of close ups to see what her mouth and neck are doing. Great track for really analyzing her vocal work in action. And just a great track in general
Her facial expressions are more entertaining than the music video.
Lizzy is just badasss... That voice is beyond belief and I think she's very deliberate in how she drives her punches. Her power and emotion comes through as if she's uncovering just a portion. There's definitely more to come. I love listening to her, would really love to sing a duet with her(in my dreams)....lol Thanks for covering her. I also thoroughly enjoyed your coverage of Cash's "Hurt".... That song, as well this song, speaks to my emotions...........a lot.
I've had the absolute pleasure of seeing Halestorm play 5 times now. I believe the first show I went to was 2012. And holy moly... They slay it every. single. time. They sound almost exactly the same as on their albums... her "belts", "screams", "high notes" (not sure of the correct term) that she sings live are so much better live and in person. Maybe it's because I admire her so much and have since the day I found out about Halestorm. It just hits different live and in such a beautiful and powerful way. Not to mention Lzzy, Arejay, Joe, and Josh are super duper kind and humble and such sweet humans. I have a signed poster from them hanging up in my room. It's my most cherished possession 😂🖤🤘
Her cover of 'all I wanna do' from heart is amazing
Their live cover of 'Girl Crush' shows how Lzzy gets the gritty emotion out in a slower softer song. I love it.
familiar taste of poison is slow and its theirs
Saw her live in a festival and I remember feeling like there was some sort of Goddess on the stage. It's a supernatural force. Unbelievable.
I LOVE that you rewind the videos so often! I then get a chance to see what you’re describing- it helps so much! Love your vids!
Lzzy is an amazing singer. I took my stepdaughter to see Halestorm in concert for a Christmas gift 2 years ago and they were just as great live. This is a good song choice to be introduced to her vocal style with. :)
Of you're not okay with it ending, there's only one solution, more Halestorm songs in the future ;)
You should check out her singing break in with Amy lee. The way their voices sound together is out of this world!
Saw Halestorm for the third time last Friday and they just keep getting better. Just for fun I took a noise meter and I miss the misery was in the mid 90 dB (A) range but that ‘hurt’ Elizabeth mentioned took the peak level up to 106.6dD (A)! Lzzy has one powerful voice.
By the way they supported Alter Bridge and Myles is also an amazing singer.
Hello Elizabeth, this is a first listen to this for me too. Wow Lizzy Hale is such a good singer, great power. I love your reactions, I am always surprised how giddy you get.
The message behind this song is just relatable based on my past experience. Thanks for pointing that out, Liz :)
YES! Can't wait for this reaction.
Recommendation: 25 (unplugged) by The Pretty Reckless
Cindy Lou Who!!!
I would like to see this one reviewed
@@sopwithsnoopy8779 The very same.
I love Pretty Reckless. I think her voice is getting the grit and control she always wanted more recently. I would LOVE to see @CharismaticVoice react to "We Will Rock You" with Lzzy Hale, Taylor Momsen and Marina Brink. Kick. Ass.
You should check out that video that was linked at the end of her singing Break In with Amy Lee. Too many people have been sleeping on that team up and it’s so good
I personally prefer just Lzzy
Love Hailstorm, this is one of my favorite songs. Beautiful woman with an amazing voice.
I love how expressive your facials features are when you’re listening. I just found your channel through TH-cam suggestions and wasn’t instantly interested but when I watched your episode with Metallica “One” I was drawn in. Very nice work and it’s fun to watch.
Oh man they have so many good songs! I Am The Fire, Here's To Us, Mz Hyde, Uncomfortable, and so many more.
Edit: Now that I watched the video I see you've heard Here's To Us. You really need to listen to I Am The Fire. Same awesome lyrics and same powerhouse vocals plus an awesome video.
Also highly recommend her duet with Lindsey Sterling called Shatter Me. Her vocals on that song give me chills every single time. Also an amazing video!
I feel like a lot of people here are sleeping on killing Ourselves to Live
When the world suffocates me with negativity it’s such a relief to watch Elizabeth’s videos. She’s so wholesome it’s like an antidote to the everyday bs.
Funny, the used to play locally here and opened for my brother's band. They disbanded, and Lizzie kept going. Good for her!
The only coach on YT that will look at any genre and show her genuine emotion and thoughts. I LOVE HER!
I saw Halestorm live at Summerfest in Milwaukee years ago before they became a well known band. I think they only had one single out at that time. They were opening for the headliner at that stage. When she got on the piano and played "Break In", they literally had the entire crowd speachless. That was when i knew they were going to be big. The entire concert that night was amazing. Great show and great vocals for a live performance.
I just love how excited you get!
Lzzy Hale takes her vocals pretty serious and I just love how smart she is with her voice. The song Break In by Halestorm would be a good one to review.
Halestorm has a song called Freak Like Me and in it Lzzy hits this crazy high and long note. It sounds so crazy that you think it was extended in production, but no, because she hit it at her live concerts too. Absolutely insane fierce voice
Lzzy hale She has so many sides to see
Soft side: dear daughter
Another good rock style: I am the fire
Ok so I found this looking at Halestorm vids... As a 58 year old man people find it odd that Lzzy is my favorite singer but that voice is just so unforgettable. And your delivery of your take is simply awesome. I've neve= seen one of your vids before But the more I listened to you the more I liked you! Your smile m and enthusiasm is so natural, you gave me takes on her singing that I can't put into words but you did. Simply love discovering different things - like you, thanks.
Best thing about all your videos is seeing your actual reaction. Unlike a lot of people you actually show it on your face and it really draws a person into the video. Such an amazing way of breaking it down and explaining everything.
Listen to Lacey Sturm sing I'm so Sick when she was with Flyleaf. She has an amazing range and scream!
Lacey Sturm kills it!
I saw Lacey live a few years ago on her "Life Screams" tour. She is amazing!
Flyleaf missed out on a great singer. Lacey was the meat of the band and well now it's what's her name. Lacey could grab your attention and make you feels chills. "I'm So Sick" is what got me. I was wow.
“The song looks like it’s almost over, and I’m not ok with that” Me every time I listen to Halestorm 😍
Pre-Covid, i think they used to run about 250-300 shows per year. I question why her voice hasn't popped yet either. Seen them live twice....she belts it out just as good if not better live. Love it!! One of the best female rock vocalist to come out in a long time.
I have seen them live twice and they kill it every step of the way. Have you done I am the Fire? I think that is probably my favorite of theirs, the lyrics hit with me and the power she packs is absolutely amazing!
YEEEES! Elizabeth! Halestorm needs more reactions. Lzzy is amazing, I've seen Halestorm live four times and she is as amazing! Thank you for reacting to Halestorm. I love your music choice variety.
Zach Wylde was quoted as saying "she has pipes of doom." I have seen her live a couple of times, she sounds amazing.
Can't agrue with Zakk Wylde. Guy played with Ozzy - the god of metal !
Have you heard Lzzy Hale's lyrics she wrote to sing with The HU's " Song of Woman"?
That one is sooo good
Actually, a great one to watch is Lzzy and Eric Church live at the 2014 CMA awards. Prime example of how a vocalist can completely change the tone of a song.
th-cam.com/video/HiIJprCQavc/w-d-xo.html
Yes! That's the song that finally got me into Halestorm. My father was watching the CMTs and I went "hey wait, who's that?!"
And cause Nicole Kidman to ask "who the f*ck is that?" on live tv. (That part has been edited out from the video since the first time I saw it but Lzzy has mentioned it as well.)
Also, I saw them do this song live in Boise, while obviously sick, and she still blew Church out of the water.
I was about to post the same suggestion! :D
@@180_Evil That's the video I would choose!
I love the passion you show for music, you can see in the way you listen and and your facial expressions, can tell there's true love there.
I've seen Halestorm live three times and no one keeps the energy high like them. From the first note to the last, it's just insane.
Would love to see you react to The Pretty Reckless! I'd recommend "25 (unplugged)" as the song has a lot of emotion but the editing seems fairly minimal. I'd definitely put Taylor Momsen right up there with lzzy Hale.
Listen to the song “break in” from halestorm feat. Amy lee it’s done beautifully and it’s just the 2 of them live singing in a recording studio together
familiar taste of poison and i am the fire are her two "strongest" vocals as songs to check in the future. her control in them is just insane.
Oh my goodness I've never watched this channel before but I absolutely love this song and this was awesome! I love how impressed you seemed with her voice, and the way you explain exactly what's going on in terms of making those sounds.
Seen them 5 times and they were flawless every single time! So freaking talented!
Lzzy is a force of nature, it's like hearing a lioness roar straight to your face.
SHE. IS. FIERCE.
Elisabeth, if you liked her on the studio recording, check out Halestorm's live performances please, there she givers her very best.
And thanks for reacting to my top female crush XD
Maybe consider 'Break In' feat Amy Lee?
Pretty please.
Or Lindsey Stirling with Amy's 'Wasted On You' String Session.
Lzzy is honestly one of the best vocalists around these days, and her guitar definitely places her with the gods. What's even better is her mainstream appeal. She's guested with acts across the spectrum, from Lindsey Stirling to Eric Church to MGK to In This Moment. She does ballads and hard-driving rock and everything in between. This is a once-in-a-generation talent and a true successor to Lita Ford and Joan Jett.
When I saw Halestorm July 2022, Lzzy between songs mentioned and thanked her vocal coach/teacher in high school, for giving her the foundations of good vocal technique. Great moment and appreciation
I was fortunate enough to see Halestorm live last year. No recording I've heard captures the full complexity and power of her voice. Just phenomenal!
I think her most powerful recorded live vocal may be when she was invited to duet "That's Damn Rock n, Roll" with Eric Church at the CMA awards. Her gritty screams were amazing!
The people in the crowd didn’t know how to react she’s such a powerhouse
I was a music student in college, at the end of ever term (semester) we would put on a gig. My band chose to cover this as the final song of our set, and damn was it the most fun but vocally challenging thing I’ve ever done. Hands down best performance we ever did
I was hoping you’d get to Halestorm. They are amazing and Lizzy’s voice is great. She and Amy Lee do an amazing song called “Break In” and their voices are amazing together. She also does an excellent song with The Hu “Song of Women.” You should take a look at them.
With all due respect, you are STUNNINGLY beautiful Miss Elizabeth (& you have an absolutely flawless smile)!I love the channel, love the reaction vids, love your singing, and positively adore your enthusiasm! Keep doing what you do!
I would love to hear more Halestorm.
I don't want to think about my age, but that song was bringing back to my head banging days. The big hair metal and hard rock bands of the 80'S. Thank you for reacting to this song. Brought back good memories!!!! I need to buy more music (Halestorm).
if you like that, check out the halestorm covers album, she sings skid row, dio, cinderella, heart and more, and even does duets with sabatian bach of skid row, and tom keifer(sp) from cinderella and a beautiful duet cover of close my eyes forever with lita ford herself, i mean there's no doubt she was highly inspired by 80's rock/metal, and i couldn't love her more for it lol
@@rocknrollnwalker Thanks for the heads up. I will look for the album. It's funny I still have all the cd's of Skid row, Dio, Ratt, ect.
@@rickjames2043 i do too lol some 200+ cassettes and nearly 200 cds of old school rock/metal, my momma started me out right in the 70's with black sabbath and the eagles and led zepplin, all that good shit lol
@@rocknrollnwalker Amen! Me too!! I have some 45 singles also.
@@rickjames2043 unfortunately any and all actual albums i've had are long gone, but so are any record players that i've ever had lol so i guess it doesn't matter. these crystal clear cd recordings are nice but there's just something classic and nostalgic about that record scratch sound with music
Her song “Do Not Disturb” is a true story. She talked about it on a radio show
Please, please react to The Fighter by In This Moment. I'd love to see your reaction to Maria Brinks voice
Maria can really belt it out for sure.
Wow what a voice, great vocals and a wonderful range.
Just discovered her on your channel, another true rock chick of immense talent.
