FINALLY people are getting around to Roy Khan reactions. One of the best clean vocalists of his era. Hopefully more people start doing them. You should Elizabeth from this same concert!
Elizabeth by Kamelot is a really nice introduction to what Roy can do on his own, especially the live version. I think it'd make for an interesting reaction, his style of singing is quite unusual.
Oh yes! Elizabeth has pretty much everything present. And when the story is about a woman who was one of the inspirations behind the myth of Dracula, the story is also interesting.
In case no one mentioned it. Epica got their name from Kamelot's album Epica. Simone is married to Kamelot's keyboard player Oliver Palotai. Both bands have worked together several times, love both bands!
Rebecca you are doing something incredible, by that I mean you are bringing new attention to a music world that goes generally unnoticed by the mainstream music audience. So many people love your channel, and I'm so excited that you're opening up the floodgates to new music, and new experiences. No other vocal coach is doing this, so really thank you! Your channel is top 10 on all of youtube, keep up the amazing work
4:36 the Story about this song? Both Albums, Epica (Faust I) and The Black Halo (Faust II), basically cover the story of Goethe's Faust I & II. The Haunting (Somewhere in Time) is about Ariel and a girl named Marguerite. Everyone who's familiar to the Epica story line knows that Ariel lost his love Helena and one day he comes across a girl who reminds him of her, named Marguerite. She seduces him and he almost falls in love with her but just in time he realizes that he only loves her because of her resemblance with Helena. So he refuses to love her (at the moment) But he also promises to return one day, when his quest has ended and he found peace of mind - then he might love her again.
I absolutely love Roy Khan. His vocals with Simone are an absolute powerhouse. Please, if you're going to revisit Kamelot, do Don't You Cry. His vocals are absolutely beautiful, and really showcase them. ❤🤘😍
Seconded! The only prob about Don't You Cry is the lack of live performances videos (with Roy Khan on vocals). I would love to see a react of Abandoned or Elizabeth (Parts I, II and III)! Such melodic and vocal rich songs!
No offense to the guy who sings liar liar, but that new era just isn't the same. he's pretty good but no Roy Khan. He probably would be just as good if it were his band to begin with but Roy embodies the life of the band to me and it just is not the same.
Whoever requested this, you are amazing. I've been waiting for Kamelot reactions for far too long! Roy Khan has always been one of the most emotionally evocative singers I've ever heard and this is one of my absolute favourites
Yes! So glad you did this one! And yes that is the same singer from Epica. Try Epica - Chasing the Dragon live at Retrospect! It's a beautiful and emotional song.
I think the live versions of Momento Mori or Elizabeth by Kamelot is an amazing showcase of Roy Khan's vocal abilities even in a live setting. Would love to see you react to either of these!
Rebecca headbanging -> Priceless Moment! Thank you for reacting to Roy Kahn! He is awesome ^^ pls react to more Kamelot! The song Abandoned is just soo beautiful really. Great ballad and so emotive. Also, can't wait to hear your operatic voice in one of ur songs! ❤
Roy Khan is without a doubt the best vocalist I've ever heard(if I had to pick one). You should absolutely do more of Kamelot from that era. Try the one called Elizabeth (I, II & III) from the same live performance if you want a proper Roygasm. It's incredible!
To my knowledge, Roy Khan is one of the only singer who sings better live than in studio. He is a beast. Too bad he left Kamelot, even though Tommy Karevik is doing a fantastic job and his voice is very close to Roy's.
@@yanakyrychenko4995 I allow you my dear :). I think everybody has an opinion and has the right to tell it, has soon has it's not insulting and trolling.
Love your comments and reactions! You speak my mind. This performance is also my favourite, and they are indeed a perfect match made in heaven. Thank you for featuring it.
Great reaction Rebecca, just recently started seeing reaction videos, and gotta say you are the best. Fun and informative. Perfect! Keep it up young Lady. Big fan of Kamelot, Epica, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Therion, and Mostly Autumn
I fell in love with Roy Khan's voice a long time ago, but you should hear his replacement Tommy Karevik too. He has done great work for Kamelot, but also Seventh Wonder and Ayreon :D
The story is connected to the legend of Faust. Kamelot’s two albums (Epica & Black Halo) is their own take on the Goethe’s Faust. Roy’s character is singing to his mistress, Simone, saying he’s trying to replace the memory of his dead lover with her, living vicariously through their affair
If you loved them singing together seriously listen to Trois Vierges. It's a ballad by Epica that Roy Khan is featured in. One of my favourite songs off of the album and it's just so beautiful !! But I loved this review, this song is literally childhood favourite from Kamelot.
Little context on the song Rebecca, the album it's from (2005's The Black Halo) is the second concept album and sequel to 2003's Epica album, both albums tell the tale of Faust. The Black Halo tells the second half when the main character Ariel (Kamelot lead singer Roy Khan) sells his soul to the devil Mephisto (played by Dimmu Borgir frotman Shagrath). As for this song (track 3), Simone Simons from Epica plays the character Marguerite, who resembles Ariel's dead lover Helena (played and sung by Kamelot guitarist Thomas Youngblood's wife, Mari Youngblood). The song is about Marguerite meeting Ariel and despite knowing she look exactly like his dead love, he'll never be able to love her.
Roy Khan has a powerful and very recognizable voice. He left Kamelot a while ago to focus on his family though. Kamelot's new singer, Tommy Karevik, is a powerhouse as well. And yes, that is SImone Simons from the band Epica. Fun fact, Epica gets their band name from one of Kamelot's albums. They've collaborated a lot in the past. Furthermore, Simone is married to the keyboardist of Kamelot, Oliver Palotai. They have a son named Vincent. It's all one big metal family, haha.
@@tweevers2 Whoa, hold on. Roy is back??? Last time I heard of him he left the band and everything metal behind, and ended up singing psalms in churches. That is awesome if he's back.
Thank you so much for this reaction !! Roy is one of the best live vocalist I've ever seen, what a fantastic voice this man has. Simone is awesome as well and they complement each other so well ! (She married with their keyboardist a couple years later I think) Please react to Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars (live at Sonic Pump Studios)
I stumbled on your videos and love your reviews of vocalists - your articulation is educational. As a vocalist - i find today a lot of vocalists are “dumbing” down their vocals and don’t emote at all... i love that you value that - I’ll keep tuning in! Awesome ! and your fun and adorable - makes following along fun !
Love your reactions, especially the metal ones! Highly recommend sth more of Nightwish : Ever Dream from Wacken 2013 and of course The Greatest Show on Earth from Tampere 2015.
It was cool seeing your reactions as you watched this! I always felt it was one of the best duets/videos I've ever seen or heard and it was nice that you as a vocal coach also think so highly of their performance.
Roy khan is still one of my largest vocal idols. I'm so glad that you've finally come across him. I think one more of his songs would be great for you to react to before you move on. "Forever" would probably be a good choice. Keep doing what you do, Rebecca. We love it and we love you. :3
They weren't an item then, were they? But it IS cute either way. I love the fact that Epica and Kamelot members have collaborated a lot over the years.
Roy Khan is an incredible singer, one of my all time favorites! He brings so much energy, control and emotion with his voice. And this whole concert (video) is one the best performance I've ever seen from a metal band.
Rebecca Please Please Please do FOREVER from the exact same concert! It is a must! Thank you for doing this, you made a ton of Metalheads like myself very happy.
Love this performance ❤ Kamelot's keyboardist (and Simone's hubby) actually stood in for Epica's keyboardist for the first of 2 USA tours in 2010 and got to meet both of them. Love your head banging by the way 👍
Simone is one of my favorite vocalists of all time! Her voice is so beautiful. I would love to see you review Epica - Chasing the Dragon live at Retrospect. In my opinion it's one of the most beautiful songs that shows off her voice.
I absolutely agree! 🙂 After nearly ten years as an Epica fan, I had never heard anyone coincide with me about Chasing The Dragon..Just about all their music is astounding, but there's something about that song that got me so totally enthralled by Simone..it made it my fave.. 😍
YES! I cant remember if I requested this here but Kamelot and particularly Roy Khan are fuckin amazing. If you want to do more of him, check out Elizabeth pt 1,2,3 from this same show. Its absolutely insane
Time for today's dose of RVA to lift my spirits. My choice of beverage for today was black tea. This is a great song, and adding Simone always makes things even better. Now I have to listen to more Kamelot. Thank you Rebecca, I'm glad I found your channel a little while ago!
Thats not true about Epica. Kamelots album "Epica" came out in 2003, Epicas first album "The Phanton Agony" came out in 2002. So there is no way epica could be named after Kamelots Album.
@@juyifan7933 Yes it is, the band has even said so. The Phantom Agony came out in June of 2003 and Epica in Januari of 2003. Before being called Epica they were called Sahara Dust. You can find that information easily just by googling.
@@Patryn71 Ok, but the singles for Phanton Agony came out in 2002. Cry for the mom for instance. If the band said so, i couldnt argue. But the timeline doesnt seem to be right.
@@juyifan7933 "Still under the name Sahara Dust, they produced a two-song demo entitled Cry for the Moon in 2002." It just says the name was later changed to Epica, but it doesn't say exactly when.
Roy is a handsome vocal beast, indeed. I love how you've heard a few seconds of him and you're already bewitched. He does that to people, and sadly, Kamelot is not the same without him. Tommy, the current vocalist, is a powerhouse when it comes to singing, but he just doesn't have Roy's aura, and it's not the same to me. Check out Conception, Roy's other band, they've come out with a new material recently.
I love your channel so much!! You make it educational while keeping that humor! Girl, you're hilarious!!!! Also appreciate that you watch/listen to a plethora of genres
The story is an interpretation of Faust,l. In this song he was bewitched by the demon Mephistopheles into thinking this woman (Simone) was his wife, who killed herself in the last album. This is him breaking free of the illusion and leaving her. Just in case you were curious. ;)
Close, but Simone is the lover he tried replacing the memory of his deceased lover with. Mephistopheles’ original love is played by Youngblood’s wife in these performances
The first comment is actually right. You should check the album's story, Hannah.. Ariel is still stricken with grief and sorrow over Helena's death. (March of Mephisto) With Ariel's will nearly under Mephisto's total control, the fallen angel brings Ariel a beautiful young woman named Marguerite, who looks and speaks like Helena. Ariel seduces Marguerite and the two sleep together, which completes Mephisto's manipulation of Ariel. (When the Lights are Down) The morning after, Ariel regains his memory, breaking Mephisto's control over him, and comes to his senses. He apologizes to Marguerite and explains his story, begging her to leave, but saying that they might meet again someday. (The Haunting (Somewhere in Time)
Roy 'motherf*cking' Khan, the man the myth the legend. The most awesome voice in metal. His timbre, his musicality, how he gets emotionally involved. He's surpassed by none imo. Thank you for your reaction. There's plenty more where that came from.
Yes thank you! I requested Forever and Center of the Universe recently on Twitter, but this is great too(even though it's not even close to being amongst my favourite Kamelot songs), especially for you as a reaction since it's a duet.
Yes, Rebecca! That IS Simone Simmons from Epica. You did a reaction to her and Floor Jansen from Nightwish goofing around on stage at the TErra Sancta show a while back. She happens to be married to Kamelot's keyboard player, Oliver Palotai. I think you would absolutely LOVE Kamelot.
Great reaction and great headbanging😂. They sound perfect together.It's sad that he left the band.You should try Elizabeth from the same concert.Roys voice is mindblowing .Fun Fact :The keyboardist is the husband of Simone.
Oh this makes me so happy that you loved this! I've been a Kamelot fan for a decade and they're awesome. They have a newer song called Under Grey Skies that I highly recommend
Roy Khan. One of my favourite singers, he was phenomenal. Fortunately I was able to see him live with Kamelot a couple of times, very fond memories. Roy Khan-era Kamelot, you just never get tired of it. This concert and the dvd is bigger than life.
"What's the story about" you ask? This song is on their album *The Black Halo* which is a concept album heavily inspired by Goethe's *Faust* , so pretty much that ;) The Black Halo is the 2nd album of that story. The first one is called *Epica* (and yes, there is also the band Epica, which indeed has Simone on lead vocals :)).
Roy Kahn is amazing! Please react to more Kamelot!! The live version of Memento Mori (from this same concert I think) is incredible! Also Edge of Paradise, Eden Echo, Karma, and The Black Halo :D
I was thinking about requesting some Kamelot. Great timing! :p That entire concert is amazing btw. Roy is one of my favorite singers when it comes to tone and feel.
I love your videos, your reviews are clear and fun and I really wanted you to meet Andre Matos. He is well known in South America and has the nickname "Maestro" for having in his journey in Metal, orchestrations and to have regent formed, one of the most important Metal vocalists in the world and the largest in Brazil. It's a pretty slow song, with violin, piano and Heavy Metal, where Andre manages to show his bass and treble perfectly. The band has many great songs, but I think it expresses well about their abilities. Please react to this video: Shaman - Fairy Tale (RituaLive 2002)
Rebecca, In all honesty, Thank you. This is one of my favorite songs of all time and it also holds a very emotional load for me as I used to sing this with my dad. Not well, but we had fun, so I count it. To see you take on this song makes me happier than I have the words to express. Thank you, thank you! Also, outfit on point! Would like to add, TH-cam told me about your upload roughly 2 seconds before I clicked it, but I can see I'm hours late. Still, Grateful!
Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite bands. Roy is one of my favorite singers. I was able to attend a meet and greet for The Black Halo tour and the whole band could not have been nicer.
Hey Rebecca! Wanna try some metal a capella with Van Canto - Primo Victoria... Yeah I know it sounds weird the idea of "Metal a capella" but give it a try and please share your reaction you'll love them as a musician focused on voices! Cheers!
Indeed, a metalhead she is already! lol which is great news!! Loved the headbanging 😁. Lovely and entertaining review as always, keep your light shining... Thanks!
I've seen a lot of vocal coaches on youtube but by far I like your videos the best! Btw can you please react to Molitva by Marija Serifovic (Serbia eurovision performance 2007)? I hope I'm not annoying since it's my third time asking you to react to this, but I would love to hear your opinion on her vocals. Xo Rebecca from Serbia!
In these reaction videos I always look at the comment section because lots of people start suggesting songs, and I may discover some new song of artist. That Marija was very good, I'm really glad that I went to check it out.
Kamelot is probably my second most favorite band :) For me it is like male fronted Nightwish :D even if their styles are different it gives me the same feelings :) and as with Nightwish I say, just pick any of their songs, you cant go wrong :) especially from this live show called "One Cold WInter's Night"
RHAPSODY OF FIRE Fabio Lione is the male version of tarja and Floor. From the lowest to the higuest. Gifted - LAMENTO EROICO at Wacken 2011 (súper low) - EMERALD SWORD & GRAND FINALE (súper high) - ON THE WAY TO AINOR (low+high+growl) He is outrageous (and has a little Robert Plant look ;))
I'm glad I lived for the moment to see you headbang! Ah, Simone Simmons... My first (and only) female celebrity crush. Although he is, indeed, handsome. So I guess I'm still gay (I was afraid they would take away my homosexual card!). You know? I really, REALLY hated Kamelot at the beginning. Just because I wasn't into the genre. But at 16, I attended my first concert/festival and they played there. The guys I was hanging out with around told me that they knew I enjoyed good vocals and I should check them. I did (live) and OH MY, I fell in love immediately! Kamelot LITERALLY got me through the voice. So good one on this (I really love your videos!).
06:33 OH she's becoming a metalhead, hahahaha great video as always ^^
HAHAHA I died with that lol
Once you start you can't stop loving it
We're getting to her..... ;-)
About time!
Inebitable!
FINALLY people are getting around to Roy Khan reactions. One of the best clean vocalists of his era. Hopefully more people start doing them.
You should Elizabeth from this same concert!
Yes, we want Elizabeth!
Elizabeth by Kamelot is a really nice introduction to what Roy can do on his own, especially the live version. I think it'd make for an interesting reaction, his style of singing is quite unusual.
Agree, that's his gratest performance!
I was about to suggest this one. One of his best perfomances, a lot of interpretation going on and his falsetos on point.
Yessssssssssssss!!!!!
Oh yes! Elizabeth has pretty much everything present.
And when the story is about a woman who was one of the inspirations behind the myth of Dracula, the story is also interesting.
That is one of the best kamelot songs
In case no one mentioned it. Epica got their name from Kamelot's album Epica. Simone is married to Kamelot's keyboard player Oliver Palotai. Both bands have worked together several times, love both bands!
Thanks to whoever requested this. Roy Khan is god.
I REQUESTED THIS COUNTLESS TIMES!!! I AM SOOOOO EXCITED
@@ScotlandSlag Me too! So glad!
Now she should choose "FOREVER" or "KARMA" so she could enjoy his voice as its best
you're very welcome
roy is the best vocalist i’ve ever seen live, period
Rebecca you are doing something incredible, by that I mean you are bringing new attention to a music world that goes generally unnoticed by the mainstream music audience. So many people love your channel, and I'm so excited that you're opening up the floodgates to new music, and new experiences. No other vocal coach is doing this, so really thank you! Your channel is top 10 on all of youtube, keep up the amazing work
Hey @ScotlandSlag, I felt exactly the same (among other feels) and I didn't know how to express it in words, thanks
@@KarimBenyagoub I'm glad I could help, music helps me to be expressive :).
I'm a simple man, I see Kamelot and I click immediately.
Who would trade his Karma for your Kingdom?
"FOREVER"
Same
Why do I see this "I'm a simple man" comment on every TH-cam video I watch. People need some new material
Same here
4:36 the Story about this song? Both Albums, Epica (Faust I) and The Black Halo (Faust II), basically cover the story of Goethe's Faust I & II.
The Haunting (Somewhere in Time) is about Ariel and a girl named Marguerite.

But he also promises to return one day, when his quest has ended and he found peace of mind - then he might love her again.
Underrated comment! Was looking EVERYWHERE on the internet for this explanation, thank you so much! Just barely got into Kamelot haha
I absolutely love Roy Khan. His vocals with Simone are an absolute powerhouse. Please, if you're going to revisit Kamelot, do Don't You Cry. His vocals are absolutely beautiful, and really showcase them. ❤🤘😍
And the story behind the song ❤
Seconded! The only prob about Don't You Cry is the lack of live performances videos (with Roy Khan on vocals).
I would love to see a react of Abandoned or Elizabeth (Parts I, II and III)! Such melodic and vocal rich songs!
@@Talurask999 great recommendations!
Oh my god, that song is life! Saying I love it would be an understatement
No offense to the guy who sings liar liar, but that new era just isn't the same. he's pretty good but no Roy Khan. He probably would be just as good if it were his band to begin with but Roy embodies the life of the band to me and it just is not the same.
Whoever requested this, you are amazing. I've been waiting for Kamelot reactions for far too long! Roy Khan has always been one of the most emotionally evocative singers I've ever heard and this is one of my absolute favourites
I will take that thank you though i am sure many more people then i requested it.
Yes! So glad you did this one! And yes that is the same singer from Epica. Try Epica - Chasing the Dragon live at Retrospect! It's a beautiful and emotional song.
OMG YES!!!
Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
PLEASEEEE
YES YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES!!
This needs to happen! Chasing the dragon is a very dramatic song ❤️
When metal singers have an opera background you know it's gonna be good
Roy Khan has such a wonderful voice. I love Kamelot's new stuff but Roy just has this power in his voice. He was really brought me into this genre.
I think the live versions of Momento Mori or Elizabeth by Kamelot is an amazing showcase of Roy Khan's vocal abilities even in a live setting. Would love to see you react to either of these!
Rebecca headbanging -> Priceless Moment!
Thank you for reacting to Roy Kahn! He is awesome ^^ pls react to more Kamelot! The song Abandoned is just soo beautiful really. Great ballad and so emotive. Also, can't wait to hear your operatic voice in one of ur songs! ❤
Abandoned is such an incredibly beautiful song. Honestly.
@@vigridr7614 Abandoned of course!
Oh hell yeah. Abandoned is one of the best ballads and really showcases Roy's powerful emotional tone big time.
I needn't say anything. You've already said it, except she said,"Well okay.", and dived right in.
So many great songs from Kamelot, both during and after Khan, but Abandoned hands down bar none is my absolute favorite
Kamelot - Elizabeth (I, II & III) live at Norway! I always waited for this, thanks for your reaction!
Roy Khan is without a doubt the best vocalist I've ever heard(if I had to pick one). You should absolutely do more of Kamelot from that era. Try the one called Elizabeth (I, II & III) from the same live performance if you want a proper Roygasm. It's incredible!
and some Conception, soon... their live performances are coming.
Please share that first place with Fabio Lione. He goes from opera to high notes.
Both toghether would be orgasmic
Elizabeth from this dvd is what made me fall in love with roy khan
Say "the Best" is too risky. He is awesome no doubt but i would say "one of the best metal singer"
Khan is an absolute beast, but for me, no one could ever beat Jorn lande. My God what a fucking voice
To my knowledge, Roy Khan is one of the only singer who sings better live than in studio. He is a beast. Too bad he left Kamelot, even though Tommy Karevik is doing a fantastic job and his voice is very close to Roy's.
completely different style, but Dylan Saunders is "better live" personified
Check out Conception, Khan is back singing.
Allow me to disagree regarding Tommy)
@@yanakyrychenko4995 I allow you my dear :). I think everybody has an opinion and has the right to tell it, has soon has it's not insulting and trolling.
I have to agree, I think kamelot was extremely lucky to get a singer that's so close to Roy
Epica consign to Oblivion, i wont give up until you have reacted to this epic tune .
"Design Your Universe" is another song worth to keep trying for
It has to be the Paris show though. 😎
Agree
This concert if FULL of amazing vocals from Roy Khan... The Black Halo, Center of The Universe, Forever, and Elizabeth are just fantastic!
Love your comments and reactions! You speak my mind. This performance is also my favourite, and they are indeed a perfect match made in heaven. Thank you for featuring it.

I suggest "the gathering" of Marco Hietala with Delain. She liked him, and he shows there how good can be singing
Ever Dream from Wacken 💜💜💜
It was cool seeing your reactions as you watched this! I always felt it was one of the best duets/videos I've ever seen or heard and it was nice that you as a vocal coach also think so highly of their performance.
His voice is so powerful - yes, and finally he is back in business!!!!!!! Now with his old band Conception! 😍😍😍
Roy khan is still one of my largest vocal idols. I'm so glad that you've finally come across him. I think one more of his songs would be great for you to react to before you move on. "Forever" would probably be a good choice.
Keep doing what you do, Rebecca. We love it and we love you. :3
Fun fact: Simones husband is the keyboardist . Must be nice to share a stage once in a while?
That's cute ♥️
They weren't an item then, were they? But it IS cute either way. I love the fact that Epica and Kamelot members have collaborated a lot over the years.
@@nimedhel09 i am honestly not sure when they became a couple but their child was born in 2013 so im guessing at least since then. =D
@@minimaltrace Hahaha!
Even funnier fact: Epica took their name as a tribute to Kamelot's same named album 😁
love how she lets herself more and more free on each video with her reactions and not holding back showing emotions, also that headbanging was 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I am a HUGE Kamelot fan. Have been waiting for this!
Yay! Rebecca noticed me ^^
Roy Khan is an incredible singer, one of my all time favorites! He brings so much energy, control and emotion with his voice. And this whole concert (video) is one the best performance I've ever seen from a metal band.
You should react to "Kamelot - When the lights are down", it's pretty melodic
Serenade would be a good one too.
Elizabeth I,II, and III too
Rebecca Please Please Please do FOREVER from the exact same concert! It is a must! Thank you for doing this, you made a ton of Metalheads like myself very happy.
Try the vídeo "female metal singers: expectation vs reallity".

Up hehehhe
Love this performance ❤ Kamelot's keyboardist (and Simone's hubby) actually stood in for Epica's keyboardist for the first of 2 USA tours in 2010 and got to meet both of them.

YES! I cant remember if I requested this here but Kamelot and particularly Roy Khan are fuckin amazing. If you want to do more of him, check out Elizabeth pt 1,2,3 from this same show. Its absolutely insane
(I'm just gonna leave this here....)
Kamelot - Edge of Paradise (Live)
Roy's falsetto is ridiculous!
You mean how he goes super quiet in head voice, and maintains his stellar vibrato??? Like the breakdown on forever in this Dvd.
The man has almost 4 octaves. He is brilliant.
YEEESSS!!!!
Goosebumps!!! That intro!
Two gorgeous perfect gifted amazing vocals
Roy Khan is a god with his vocals. When he left Kamelot, I was so sad. He is truly magical with his voice.
Time for today's dose of RVA to lift my spirits. My choice of beverage for today was black tea.
This is a great song, and adding Simone always makes things even better. Now I have to listen to more Kamelot. Thank you Rebecca, I'm glad I found your channel a little while ago!
This was the first song I heard of them. I immediately bought the album the next day. His vocal has a Queensryche feel to me
I love your face whenever Simone flips her hair or headbangs 😆 Nice to see you're becoming quite the headbanger too!
The pianist is Smoon's husband! 😉
EPICA!
And guess where from is Epica's band name?
Kamelot's album "Epica"! 😁
Thats not true about Epica. Kamelots album "Epica" came out in 2003, Epicas first album "The Phanton Agony" came out in 2002. So there is no way epica could be named after Kamelots Album.
@@juyifan7933 According to Allmusic.com, The Phantom Agony was released on December 23, 2003. Kamelot's Epica album was released on February 4, 2003.
@@juyifan7933 Yes it is, the band has even said so. The Phantom Agony came out in June of 2003 and Epica in Januari of 2003. Before being called Epica they were called Sahara Dust. You can find that information easily just by googling.
@@Patryn71 Ok, but the singles for Phanton Agony came out in 2002. Cry for the mom for instance. If the band said so, i couldnt argue. But the timeline doesnt seem to be right.
@@juyifan7933 "Still under the name Sahara Dust, they produced a two-song demo entitled Cry for the Moon in 2002." It just says the name was later changed to Epica, but it doesn't say exactly when.
Roy has a very expressive voice that make you feel the song. Do Kamelots Abandoned. shows much of his range and expressiveness.
Roy is a handsome vocal beast, indeed. I love how you've heard a few seconds of him and you're already bewitched. He does that to people, and sadly, Kamelot is not the same without him. Tommy, the current vocalist, is a powerhouse when it comes to singing, but he just doesn't have Roy's aura, and it's not the same to me. Check out Conception, Roy's other band, they've come out with a new material recently.
I love your channel so much!! You make it educational while keeping that humor! Girl, you're hilarious!!!! Also appreciate that you watch/listen to a plethora of genres
Roy Khan has one of the most beautiful and powerful male voices I have ever heard. You should react to Kamelot's Abandoned from this same concert.
Daym.. I always got goosebumps when Roy started singing with higher notes. Love your reaction.
Seen Simone 4 times live with Epica, Rebecca, get yourself to one of these shows! Haha 🙂
Love your vides always put a smile on my face. Lots of love
The story is an interpretation of Faust,l. In this song he was bewitched by the demon Mephistopheles into thinking this woman (Simone) was his wife, who killed herself in the last album. This is him breaking free of the illusion and leaving her.
Just in case you were curious. ;)
Close, but Simone is the lover he tried replacing the memory of his deceased lover with. Mephistopheles’ original love is played by Youngblood’s wife in these performances
That’s why there are lyrics like “what made me think you were her” and “don’t pretend I’d be loving you”
The first comment is actually right.
You should check the album's story, Hannah..
Ariel is still stricken with grief and sorrow over Helena's death. (March of Mephisto) With Ariel's will nearly under Mephisto's total control, the fallen angel brings Ariel a beautiful young woman named Marguerite, who looks and speaks like Helena. Ariel seduces Marguerite and the two sleep together, which completes Mephisto's manipulation of Ariel. (When the Lights are Down) The morning after, Ariel regains his memory, breaking Mephisto's control over him, and comes to his senses. He apologizes to Marguerite and explains his story, begging her to leave, but saying that they might meet again someday. (The Haunting (Somewhere in Time)
I haven't seen the video yet but I'm really excited to see what you think about Khan, he is simply perfect 😍😍😍 thanks for this ❤❤❤
Roy 'motherf*cking' Khan, the man the myth the legend. The most awesome voice in metal. His timbre, his musicality, how he gets emotionally involved. He's surpassed by none imo. Thank you for your reaction. There's plenty more where that came from.
Yes thank you!
I requested Forever and Center of the Universe recently on Twitter, but this is great too(even though it's not even close to being amongst my favourite Kamelot songs), especially for you as a reaction since it's a duet.
Kamelot - Elizabeth /I, II & III/ try this!
She's gonna cry so many times! xD
The version from this very concert is gold
oi where are the likes, this is the best trilogy song in Kamelot, we need this!!!!!!
Yes, Rebecca! That IS Simone Simmons from Epica. You did a reaction to her and Floor Jansen from Nightwish goofing around on stage at the TErra Sancta show a while back. She happens to be married to Kamelot's keyboard player, Oliver Palotai. I think you would absolutely LOVE Kamelot.
Great reaction and great headbanging😂. They sound perfect together.It's sad that he left the band.You should try Elizabeth from the same concert.Roys voice is mindblowing .Fun Fact :The keyboardist is the husband of Simone.
+1 for the Elizabeth trilogy, it's not only Roy's great voice but also the other instrumentalists and the story telling in this one
+1 for the Elizabeth trilogy, it's not only Roy's great voice but also the other instrumentalists and the story telling in this one
Oh this makes me so happy that you loved this! I've been a Kamelot fan for a decade and they're awesome. They have a newer song called Under Grey Skies that I highly recommend
I LOVE SIMONE SIMONS VOICE
I keep coming back to this. Roy is just... Wow. Thanks so much for reacting to him, and to this song.
Epica - dancing in a hurricane please
Roy Khan. One of my favourite singers, he was phenomenal. Fortunately I was able to see him live with Kamelot a couple of times, very fond memories. Roy Khan-era Kamelot, you just never get tired of it. This concert and the dvd is bigger than life.
"What's the story about" you ask? This song is on their album *The Black Halo* which is a concept album heavily inspired by Goethe's *Faust* , so pretty much that ;) The Black Halo is the 2nd album of that story. The first one is called *Epica* (and yes, there is also the band Epica, which indeed has Simone on lead vocals :)).
You should also mention that the band got their name from that album haha
such a powerful message towards the end, after an ‘as usual” great reaction on another amazing duo... thanks Rebecca.
Roy Kahn is amazing! Please react to more Kamelot!! The live version of Memento Mori (from this same concert I think) is incredible!
Also Edge of Paradise, Eden Echo, Karma, and The Black Halo :D
Watching your reactions is a bright spot in my day, thank you.
I love youuu!! Pleeeeaaaase react to Epica - Cry For The Moon!!!! Great reaction :D
I was thinking about requesting some Kamelot. Great timing! :p
That entire concert is amazing btw. Roy is one of my favorite singers when it comes to tone and feel.
React to Epica live:
Design Your Universe
Chasing The Dragon or
Dancing In A Hurricane
Pleaseeee ❤️
Yeah, Chasing the Dragon is a beautiful song. :)
Eu amo chasing the dragon na voz da Amanda Someville 🤩😍😍
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS EVER 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I AM SO HAPPY YOU HAVE A METAL PLAYLIST 😭😭
I love your videos, your reviews are clear and fun and I really wanted you to meet Andre Matos. He is well known in South America and has the nickname "Maestro" for having in his journey in Metal, orchestrations and to have regent formed, one of the most important Metal vocalists in the world and the largest in Brazil.
It's a pretty slow song, with violin, piano and Heavy Metal, where Andre manages to show his bass and treble perfectly. The band has many great songs, but I think it expresses well about their abilities.
Please react to this video:
Shaman - Fairy Tale (RituaLive 2002)
I Love this Band, Andre Matos is GREAT.
Rebecca, In all honesty, Thank you. This is one of my favorite songs of all time and it also holds a very emotional load for me as I used to sing this with my dad. Not well, but we had fun, so I count it. To see you take on this song makes me happier than I have the words to express. Thank you, thank you! Also, outfit on point!
Would like to add, TH-cam told me about your upload roughly 2 seconds before I clicked it, but I can see I'm hours late. Still, Grateful!
👋♥️💜you are welcome
Please react to The Siren by Nightwish (End Of An Era DVD)
Yes!
Yes!!!
Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite bands. Roy is one of my favorite singers. I was able to attend a meet and greet for The Black Halo tour and the whole band could not have been nicer.
Hey Rebecca! Wanna try some metal a capella with Van Canto - Primo Victoria... Yeah I know it sounds weird the idea of "Metal a capella" but give it a try and please share your reaction you'll love them as a musician focused on voices! Cheers!
Indeed, a metalhead she is already! lol which is great news!! Loved the headbanging 😁. Lovely and entertaining review as always, keep your light shining... Thanks!
Please you should watch Kamelot - Elizabeth, this is the same live
It's literally like your channel was made just so I can hear someone rant and rave about all my favorite singers. Feels pretty great
I've seen a lot of vocal coaches on youtube but by far I like your videos the best! Btw can you please react to Molitva by Marija Serifovic (Serbia eurovision performance 2007)? I hope I'm not annoying since it's my third time asking you to react to this, but I would love to hear your opinion on her vocals. Xo Rebecca from Serbia!
Aleksandar Taskovic she is the best! Even I, who only listen metal music, I see all her reactions.
In these reaction videos I always look at the comment section because lots of people start suggesting songs, and I may discover some new song of artist. That Marija was very good, I'm really glad that I went to check it out.
@@bobrezendeassis Glad you enjoyed it!
I have had this concert on DVD for over 10 years! I love Roy Khan, so much! Best singer in the world!
Kamelot is probably my second most favorite band :) For me it is like male fronted Nightwish :D even if their styles are different it gives me the same feelings :) and as with Nightwish I say, just pick any of their songs, you cant go wrong :) especially from this live show called "One Cold WInter's Night"
Wow thanks for reacting to this song ! Kamelot is one of my top band and this Live show is legendary !
Please next EPICA - Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith! They are amazing live!
ahh i flipin love this gal she makes my day so much better !
Please react to epica - unchain utopia live in hellfest
I think the official live performance is better cause you can hear much clearly the instruments
Love your reactions and analysis.
Please more Kamelot!!!
RHAPSODY OF FIRE
Fabio Lione is the male version of tarja and Floor. From the lowest to the higuest. Gifted
- LAMENTO EROICO at Wacken 2011 (súper low)
- EMERALD SWORD & GRAND FINALE (súper high)
- ON THE WAY TO AINOR (low+high+growl)
He is outrageous (and has a little Robert Plant look ;))
Why not fabio and tarja together?
Stand away by angra
Fabio and Tarja sang the phantom of the opera, but the video quality is poor
@@g.omusik8286 didn't hear it. I've done thanks to you. Wonderful!
Your words at the end were so touching and true I had to subscribe. Keep inspiring Rebecca we love you :)
Thanks so much 💙
I'm glad I lived for the moment to see you headbang!
Ah, Simone Simmons... My first (and only) female celebrity crush. Although he is, indeed, handsome. So I guess I'm still gay (I was afraid they would take away my homosexual card!).
You know? I really, REALLY hated Kamelot at the beginning. Just because I wasn't into the genre. But at 16, I attended my first concert/festival and they played there. The guys I was hanging out with around told me that they knew I enjoyed good vocals and I should check them. I did (live) and OH MY, I fell in love immediately! Kamelot LITERALLY got me through the voice.
So good one on this (I really love your videos!).
Thanks so much! 💜💜
Rebecca is my favourite vocal coach on youtube!
