There is a massive amount of technique and control behind his performance and he still makes it so emotional and deep. What a beast! We're so lucky he's back with Conception.
That they sound well together is not the only reason that she sometimes sing with Kamelot. The keyboardplayer Oliver Palotai is Simones man and the father of her son. That world is also a small one after all!
Roy's ability to add a sense of complex character to his singing voice is what really allowed Kamelot to do these multi-part songs and two part concept albums and have them come off as masterful pieces of storytelling instead of feeling overdone or even cringy. The way you can hear the character development in not just the lyrics but also his voice is incredibly rare.
Yes! He feels younger and more esuberant in Epica, somber and more desperate in The Black Halo, matching the slower tempo and dramatic songwriting. All very tasteful and masterfully mixed and produced. Both records are among the finest in the genre imho.
Roy Khan will always hold a special place in my heart, and I treasure his recordings. That said, Tommy Karevik was about as close to a perfect replacement as you could hope for. Mad talent.
I found Kamelot after Silverthorn so I came to knis them with Tommy, but going back and listening to Roy, man they have been blessed with incredible singers.
There was a better replacement. I'm sorry, I think you meant to say Vasilis Georgiou there. Too bad he sounded very much like Khan to actually make it. But given how Kamelot has been getting worse and worse since Khan left I'm glad it never happened. Karevik may try to sound like him but can't even come close. Still a Tommy fanboy? Listen to Forever ''2013 edition'' live.
I like Karevik a lot but find the albums with Karevik to by lyrically incomprehensible. The writing has gotten really strange. Even the metaphors are difficult to digest as sensible. I know it sounds harsh but really read some of the lyrics. Especially in Shadow Theory. Several of the tracks aren't even logical even for poetry. This isn't the case for all the new songs. But it is much more noticeable now.
ROY KHAAAAAAAN!!!! Btw, I loved watching this. You're very talented, Beth. I'm a composer and singer, myself, but I've got a lot to learn in the singing department. lol People ask me for singing advice from time to time and I quickly become aware that there's a big difference between being able to sing and being able to teach - by understanding the mechanics and putting into words how each technique is performed. You're awesome. =)
I saw Kamelot a few times with Roy and also met him. He's a total class act! I also saw him with Conception years ago and they absolutely killed it. Conception was my highlight seeing Roy. Tore is such a killer guitarist!
This whole concert is a clinic on amazing talent on every instrument, as well as how to properly mix a live show. This is 100% the best sounding live album I have ever heard, in terms of sound quality. In every way, it sounds as good, if not better, than the studio versions of these songs.
Roy Khan was the main person who I really learnt a lot from. Because of him when I sing now I tend to end some words with a very bright, breathy tone with vibratto. Also he showed me that being a baritone is not a barrier to singing high notes. I love the man!
Roy Khan Is Absolutely amazing. Stunning talent. One of the best to me.....You need to see him singing alongside Simone Simmons...Absolutely spectacular!👍👍👍
Great reaction as always, thanks for doing these :) Time for some trivia! - The song is about Elizabeth Bathory, "the Blood Countess", who was obsessed with eternal life and tried to achieve it by bathing in the blood of virgins. That's why the female singer does the little performance with the mirror during the first part. - The awesome keyboardist (Oliver Palotai) is married to Simone Simons, the singer of Epica (which you already reacted to) - Actually, Epica is named after one of Kamelot's albums. Metal is just a big family after all :D
Roy Khan es simplemente impresionante!!! Calidad vocal, junto a unos grandes músicos, este tema es muy bueno, Roy en Vivo se nota la dedicación a cada canción que interpreta. 🤘🇨🇱
@@shaunkelly9102 fabio is being killed by his way too much italian vibrato, hat being said he also thinks way too much of mimself as a vocalists which has resulted in him singing worse than he can actually sing
would be nice to compare his vocals tho his old songs with new ones. also i think conception is quite liniar so not really wow compared with the old one
@@elite_m97 this EP is only here to tell the world they're back. Full-length album will be better. And EP isn't bad, yes, not as amazing as it could be but for the band's first release since 1997 it's good
Wow, it's been a long time since I've heard Kamelot and Roy. Beth, if you want to do a follow up, look up 'The Haunting' and 'When the lights come down'.
Beth, you came for an encore. I somewhat guessed it after your first Kamelot experience. Roy Khan, this particular concert, best of the best. Thanks and you welcome :-)
I was in the front row of that very concert, Oslo, february 2006! Roy is absolutely one of my greatest vocal idols. I'm a natural baritone or bass-baritone, and Roy is one of the singers that have really given evidence to that there is more range for me to achieve.
Hi Beth! Can you please increase the volume of your videos? I usually listen to everything at 50% of my volume, but for your videos I usually have to boost to at least 100% (not all of them, but most). Keep in mind that if you use headphones you may not notice this difference cause they usually have imbued compressors, so you need to hear it on speakers. Your videos are awesome, btw, keep up the good work :) Looking forward to Coverdale (Judgement Day) and Ian Gillian (in his prime) analysis :P
I notice the same. I expect the issue is that most audio has Replay Gain applied to it to make it artificially louder. When ripping CD's with dBpoweranp this is part of its metadata, so you can have your music player basically lower the volume of louder stuff so Everything's at the same volume. Then you listen to TH-cam and it's super loud cause Replay Gain.
I requested this~ Roy Khan needs to be heard, he's soo good~ And just an FYI, he is back singing with his old band Conception If you didn't know. Also highly recommend Nightwish. Not to advertise but I do highly suggest subscribing to her $10 Patreon, It's really worth it. She's super nice, has good exclusive content and talks to her Patreons a lot. Totally worth it.
YES! I love you for picking Kamelot. Roy Khan is my all time favorite vocalist. I want to recommend some quite long songs, but really great vocal performance: Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence iced Earth - Dante's Inferno OR Travel in Stygian (Both Live in Athens 1999) Thank you! Your metal reactions make my day.
Brilliant. I finally got to see them live in a beautiful theater setting back when their album Silverthorn came out and it was one of the most amazing live experiences I've ever had. Thanks for a great and informative video as always.
I've never heard this band before, thank you for this reaction Beth. I have definitely added them to my Playlist. Love how much you enjoy them as well.
Look up Conception as well! Roy Khan (the vocalist) left Kamelot and retired from music a couple of years ago. But recently he came back with a new Conception album!
Thank you so much for reacting to this one, Beth! I've been waiting for this! I always loved this performance to bits, but now I get the awesomeness even more, thanks to your commentary ♥️
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! I saw your thumbnail at the bottom right corner of my screen while watching a Nightwish Ghost Love Score reaction video and I was like: "OMG! Should I pause it or close and click this one? OMG, what should I do?". Great song, one of the first I heard from them. Love Roy, he's like the male version of Floor.
R.I.P John Pactrick McDonald aka Midinight. I still have photos from the shows I attended and a rare limited 500 edition signed solo cd from Midnights attic.
The song is a story about the life of Elizabeth Báthory, Hungarian form; Báthory Erzsébet, (born August 7, 1560, Nyírbátor, Hungary-died August 21, 1614). The evil that Kahn spoke about was that she was rumored to have murdered hundreds of young servant girls to bathe in their blood to regain/keep her beauty. Her exploits have become part of the Dracula/vampire myths, the seductive and immortal parts. I must admit that I think that Roy Kahn is a rare and awesome singer. His voice introduced me to the Symphonic Metal that is blossoming around the world.
Please do "the day that the world breaks down" by Ayreon, do the studio version to get all the 11 singers (Tommy Karevik, new Kamelot's vocalist, kicks ass there and Floor Jansen too!)
9:24 OMFG! I'm sorry but I've been a long time listener of Kamelot and your little insight of Roy Khan's vocal style just clicked it in my brain, of what his style is. That got me excited haha I just wanted to say.
Ah... in case you want to take a look into Kamelot again you might enjoy The edge of paradise from this concert. Roy's voice in the beginning there is the most angelic thing I've ever heard and I'd love having your opinion on that🌸
Your channel is slowly blowing up. Keep doing what you're doing :) Great video as always! Edit: Now that I think about it, this dude reminds me of the male vocalist for Amaranthine. Interesting.
There are few singers that are artists as well. Klaus meine from Scorpions floor Jansen from after forever Roy Khan from kamelot. These people have a gift.
There are many vocal coaches that do reaction videos. Beth is the only one that really REACTS to it, and adds technical comments to support her reactions.
Oh lord do I miss Roy... one of the greatest voices I've ever heard live... absolutely on the dot throughout a 2 hour concert... a magnificent beast... I love Kamelot, I have nothing but love an respect for the current lineup and specially Tommy Karevik who has done a superb job so far, but Roy Khan is simply on an elevated realm for me... I wish he would sing somewhere, I wish he comes back and puts out more music... I really miss his beautiful voice...
Ooooooooh! I'm sooooooo late! Roy Khan is an awesome vocalist, and this is one of my favourite songs from Kamelot with Roy as a lead singer (the live version, though, because, as much as the studio is cool, the live tops it, as is usually the case with metal bands I love, it seems, haha).
Thanks to the person that requested it and thanks for filling the request Beth! And any concert that they play Sailormans Hymn at, I always lose my voice for a day or 3. It's fine, it's worth it to feel it in that moment. I love Kamelot so much!
As much as I know, Roy was sick at that live. That's why his voice is crackly at times and deeper at the low parts. But it makes it even more magnificent. He is an outstanding Vocalist.
Wait, was he really sick? He absolutely NAILED pretty much most of the notes. When he was sick in wacken 2008 you could really truly hear him struggle.
Welp, that was awesome. How have I not heard this band before now? Another great band discovered via reaction video. Thank you again Beth! Powerful song. Roy reminds me a bit of Geoff Tate (Queensryche). Amazing vocals , and Roy owned that stage
I have such fond memories of Khan and his shows. He has such a special place in my heart. During my first show he hopped down and let me duet on "Center of the Universe," life never got that good again. The minute this man gets on stage in front of you, you are transported away for the entire set.
This whole concert was just out of this world, and is easily the best performance I have ever heard!!! Only thing negative is that it could have been a much bigger venue! Roy Khan, you are in my heart forever!!!!!!!
Roy Khan is a GOD! I adore his vocals - he is in a "new" band now called Conception - you should check those out, also. I say "new" because he was with them before he joined Kamelot, he then left Kamelot took a break from music and then went back to Conception. I'm so, so happy he is back in the music scene, I have missed that wonderful voice of his.
He was in Conception before he was in Kamelot. They went on a hiatus while Khan was in Kamelot. Then they revamped years later. So in a sense, they aren't "new" per se. They have a new vibe in comparison to their older material though.
@@randomninja83 that is correct this is Roy's old prog metal band ..they formed in the late 80's.plenty of stuff on youtube of live performances from the early 1990's and full album tracks.he was in his ultimate form back then
For those that are asking "Who is this Roy Khan?" (that is outside and pre-Kamelot) Check out his original band Conception .. Every single album from their debut in 1991 to 1997 .. And then their re-emergence (along with Khan's in almost a decade) in 2018 to present ..
I had a friend who asked me why i wanted my spotify not randomised. It's because Kamelot's albums are build like a story and needs to be listened to in order to get best results.
Candlemass - Bewitched. There's a live version from 1990 with Messiah Marcolin on vocals. Video is VHS quality, but the singing is otherworldly. A Must!
I'm been listening to this live version for over 10 years and I still get chills when he fully opens up and throws weight behind his voice on "Have I found myself, eternity?!" Geoff Tate was my first major vocal influence, but Roy's ability to generate darker tone colors w/ pristine technique has also been a huge inspiration since I found Kamelot in college.
If you liked Roy Khan, check out Conception, his older band... It's much more experimental and vocal-centered, less Power Metal than Kamelot. Last Sunset, Water Confines and The Promiser show his range really well. They recently reunited with him, too!
@theonemav I read an interview with Karevik back in 2011 where he stated he had never had a singing/vocal lesson in his life. So yeah, since Roy Khan had lessons at a young age, Khan's technique would be much better. Still, Karevik has a very nice voice. Hopefully he;s taking lessons now too, at least to help him retain his voice while on the road if nothing else.
if so only with SW ! with Kamelot he;s singing rather safe as he persoanally stated "he needs to keep his b---ls in a closet so he can sing daily" while with SW he gives it all :/ quite dissapointing when you think of how khan gave 10000 percent of himself to kam
Tommy is such a monster of a vocalist, as opposed to most of kamelot fans i actually prefer him to Roy, not saying that he's bad cause his very good ( in a different way) but what tommy has done in the last two albums and specially in Seventh wonder is just amazing, few vocalists have impressed me as much.
![KAMELOT ➡️ Elizabeth (I, II & III) [CC Lyrics]](/img/n.gif)
There is a massive amount of technique and control behind his performance and he still makes it so emotional and deep. What a beast! We're so lucky he's back with Conception.
You absolutely need to do "The Haunting" next, the live performance with Simone Simons from Epica. Her and Roy are great together.
That and forever live. Would love to see both
The Haunting is probably my second favorite Kamelot song after Prodigal Son.
So good!
That they sound well together is not the only reason that she sometimes sing with Kamelot. The keyboardplayer Oliver Palotai is Simones man and the father of her son. That world is also a small one after all!
Roy's ability to add a sense of complex character to his singing voice is what really allowed Kamelot to do these multi-part songs and two part concept albums and have them come off as masterful pieces of storytelling instead of feeling overdone or even cringy.

Yes! He feels younger and more esuberant in Epica, somber and more desperate in The Black Halo, matching the slower tempo and dramatic songwriting. All very tasteful and masterfully mixed and produced. Both records are among the finest in the genre imho.
absolutely exactly thought
Roy Khan will always hold a special place in my heart, and I treasure his recordings. That said, Tommy Karevik was about as close to a perfect replacement as you could hope for. Mad talent.
Completely agree.
I agree... but I'm glad he's back as well, even with Conception!
I found Kamelot after Silverthorn so I came to knis them with Tommy, but going back and listening to Roy, man they have been blessed with incredible singers.
There was a better replacement. I'm sorry, I think you meant to say Vasilis Georgiou there. Too bad he sounded very much like Khan to actually make it.

I know it sounds harsh but really read some of the lyrics. Especially in Shadow Theory. Several of the tracks aren't even logical even for poetry. This isn't the case for all the new songs. But it is much more noticeable now.
He's probably the most original singer with his own style.
@FatalPies I heard. Roy Khan has a better and unique timbre. Geoff didn't invent baritone voice
Roy Khan and Devin Townsend: My favorite vocalists.
ROY KHAAAAAAAN!!!!
Btw, I loved watching this. You're very talented, Beth. I'm a composer and singer, myself, but I've got a lot to learn in the singing department. lol
People ask me for singing advice from time to time and I quickly become aware that there's a big difference between being able to sing and being able to teach - by understanding the mechanics and putting into words how each technique is performed.
You're awesome. =)
Roy is a legend. The only singer I saw who sings better live than on recording! 🤘🏻
@@sinussp9121 since when? Lmao
I saw his last 2 shows as lead in Kamelot and it was absolutely suberb, just as good hes always been
@@pedroj3432
Yes?
I saw Kamelot a few times with Roy and also met him. He's a total class act! I also saw him with Conception years ago and they absolutely killed it. Conception was my highlight seeing Roy. Tore is such a killer guitarist!

It is mixed well, very few live albums I would put above it. Band-Maid's live at Zepp Tokyo is my #1 in terms of how well it's mixed.
Check out the Leprous live at Rockefeller mix, equally amazing
This, i've watched one cold winter's night hundreds of times, it's my go to live dvd when downing brews, absolutely the best.
If you like this, check out Full Circle by Pagan's Mind. A more recent example of how amazing a live prog experience can be.
Fook yes OCWN is amazing. Damn what I wouldn't give to see 2000s Roy live...
One of the greatest vocal storytellers of our time !
One of my favorite singers ever! You should also listen to the studio version when he was younger, it's absolutely gorgeous.
Roy Khan was the main person who I really learnt a lot from. Because of him when I sing now I tend to end some words with a very bright, breathy tone with vibratto. Also he showed me that being a baritone is not a barrier to singing high notes. I love the man!
Beth, Roy Khan is a trained opera singer. He's unbelievable. You should no longer be surprised at his ability.
Roy Khan Is Absolutely amazing. Stunning talent. One of the best to me.....You need to see him singing alongside Simone Simmons...Absolutely spectacular!👍👍👍
Beth, you continue to introduce me to sounds unknown. Love the experiences! 👍
Great reaction as always, thanks for doing these :) Time for some trivia!
- The song is about Elizabeth Bathory, "the Blood Countess", who was obsessed with eternal life and tried to achieve it by bathing in the blood of virgins. That's why the female singer does the little performance with the mirror during the first part.

- Actually, Epica is named after one of Kamelot's albums. Metal is just a big family after all :D
also Oliver Palotai is actually clasical trained, he usually "plays some sonatas in the morning" random shit :))
I love in Farewell, from the same concert, when Roy pulls his in-ear monitor out at the start of the song because he knows he doesn't need it.
YES!!! I have been waiting for this for so long!!!
Roy is THE most amazing singer EVER. End of story. So glad he is back!
Roy Khan es simplemente impresionante!!! Calidad vocal, junto a unos grandes músicos, este tema es muy bueno, Roy en Vivo se nota la dedicación a cada canción que interpreta. 🤘🇨🇱
YES!! I see you get into Kamelot (Roy Khan Era) lately. Love the reaction!!
More Kamelot please!! Roy Kahn is a special treasure to mankind :)
YES !!!!! Roy Khan is still THE best male vocalist on the planet. Period.
Sorry, but Mike Patton is the One. ❤️
Marko from Poets of the Fall would disa-
Actually, I think he'd just agree and they'd do a collaboration.
“Best male vocalist” is a rather subjective title. Roy is one of the most technical and skilled vocalists metal has seen though.
That's a weird way to spell Fabio Lione.
@@shaunkelly9102 fabio is being killed by his way too much italian vibrato, hat being said he also thinks way too much of mimself as a vocalists which has resulted in him singing worse than he can actually sing
You will love Deep Roy in
Conception - My Dark Symphony
He's back into music and singing again.
would be nice to compare his vocals tho his old songs with new ones. also i think conception is quite liniar so not really wow compared with the old one
That ep doesn't even come close to what he was able to do. It sounds abysmal.
@@elite_m97 this EP is only here to tell the world they're back. Full-length album will be better.
And EP isn't bad, yes, not as amazing as it could be but for the band's first release since 1997 it's good
Wow, it's been a long time since I've heard Kamelot and Roy. Beth, if you want to do a follow up, look up 'The Haunting' and 'When the lights come down'.
Definitely check out "The Haunting"!
If you look up When the Lights Are Down here on youtube, around 1:06, you can see me headbanging! XD
Please, react this!
She did When the Lights Come Down in her Abandoned video
I discovered Kamelot around 4 months ago and they're all I listen to. His singing is addictive and the music is also great
Beth, you came for an encore. I somewhat guessed it after your first Kamelot experience. Roy Khan, this particular concert, best of the best. Thanks and you welcome :-)

Keep in mind that if you use headphones you may not notice this difference cause they usually have imbued compressors, so you need to hear it on speakers.

Looking forward to Coverdale (Judgement Day) and Ian Gillian (in his prime) analysis :P
This. Very much this.
Those are Audio technica studio headphones. They're designed for true sound. They aren't exactly $20 sony's.
I notice the same. I expect the issue is that most audio has Replay Gain applied to it to make it artificially louder. When ripping CD's with dBpoweranp this is part of its metadata, so you can have your music player basically lower the volume of louder stuff so Everything's at the same volume.

Valasty true
I’m inside the train. Even with earphones is difficult to hear.
Roy Khan, the voice of God! Awesome. Beth, would love to see you react to more Andre Matos. He was such an amazing musician.
Roy khan is the most amazing vocals of the all time.
Yes! Kamelot is my all-time favorite band. I'm loving your videos. You are so charming and talented. Keep it up :)
thanks, I was listening this songs in 2007 and listening now from your point of view it makes me appreciate a lot again.
If you like his voice, it is also prominently featured in Trois Vierges by Epica as he is performing a duo with Simone. It's incredibly beautiful.
5:20 the power thats unleashed is simultaneously spine-tingling, heart throbbing, and gut-wrenchingly beautiful.
OH MY GOD finally you're reacting to this masterpiece!!!
I requested this~ Roy Khan needs to be heard, he's soo good~ And just an FYI, he is back singing with his old band Conception If you didn't know. Also highly recommend Nightwish.
Not to advertise but I do highly suggest subscribing to her $10 Patreon, It's really worth it. She's super nice, has good exclusive content and talks to her Patreons a lot. Totally worth it.
Thank you for requesting it buddy. As a norwegian i am very proud of being from the same nation .
Watching this video make me appreciate roy khan and kamelot even more. No wonder why i like this song very much. Evergreen in my life.
Oh snap! Elizabeth! This is one of my favorite Kamelot songs of all time!!!
YES! I love you for picking Kamelot. Roy Khan is my all time favorite vocalist.
I want to recommend some quite long songs, but really great vocal performance:
Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence
iced Earth - Dante's Inferno OR Travel in Stygian (Both Live in Athens 1999)
Thank you! Your metal reactions make my day.
Check out my reaction to Iced Earth here: th-cam.com/video/7CMMLnmG15U/w-d-xo.html
I absolutely love what You said about baritones
For those who love Roy's voice: look for the band Conception. They reunited last year to make music and Roy is singing again! :D
Jilhoa1 - Thank you! I was desperate to know what he was doing these days. This made my day! Thank you so much!
@@romanovalicky They are on Spotify with the 2018 album Dark Symphony. Enjoy it! :)
Brilliant. I finally got to see them live in a beautiful theater setting back when their album Silverthorn came out and it was one of the most amazing live experiences I've ever had.
Thanks for a great and informative video as always.
I've never heard this band before, thank you for this reaction Beth. I have definitely added them to my Playlist. Love how much you enjoy them as well.
Look up Conception as well! Roy Khan (the vocalist) left Kamelot and retired from music a couple of years ago. But recently he came back with a new Conception album!
Roy Khan is just a treat to the ears. Would love to hear some reactions to Elize Ryd from Amaranthe. I think her voice is also out of this world.
How about Roy Khan and Elize Ryd together? Conception - The Mansion (feat. Elize Ryd)
Thank you so much for reacting to this one, Beth! I've been waiting for this! I always loved this performance to bits, but now I get the awesomeness even more, thanks to your commentary ♥️
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! I saw your thumbnail at the bottom right corner of my screen while watching a Nightwish Ghost Love Score reaction video and I was like: "OMG! Should I pause it or close and click this one? OMG, what should I do?".
Great song, one of the first I heard from them. Love Roy, he's like the male version of Floor.
Love the analysis, the comments, the song, the band, the accent, the looks, the hair, the lotr reference. The sweetness. I think I am in love ! ❤️
You should check out Midnight (former vocalist of Crimson Glory)
Ohhh my god, yes!! Queen of masquerade of Crimson glory as well
Oh yes. In my opinion the top voices with Tate and Dio at 80's.
Ioannis Kostoulas definitely!
R.I.P John Pactrick McDonald aka Midinight. I still have photos from the shows I attended and a rare limited 500 edition signed solo cd from Midnights attic.

Really, Khan is inspiring in all but every aspect. He's managed to make his passion into a testament to what can be done with enough effort.
You've done it. Now I need to look up some more Kamelot as I've always loved their tunes but fallen away from them. Well played.
Love your reactions and analysis.
Please more Kamelot!!
Thank you that was so fun! Please do more kamelot with Roy!!
That was one of my absolute fav songs back in the days... I still love it but havent heard it in a while so that's a nice gift !
YESSSS
Thank you for doing this band. Particularly this set
Kamelot at their best. God, I love this (these) songs.
The best, I really love his voice. Thanks for the reacts
Please do "the day that the world breaks down" by Ayreon, do the studio version to get all the 11 singers (Tommy Karevik, new Kamelot's vocalist, kicks ass there and Floor Jansen too!)
Nah anything of the theory of everything would be a better representation of his voice, or just anything by aryeon
Yes! Each singer brings something a little different for each character they play. I want to hear the voice analysis of them
I really appreciate this great video on my favorite male singer! Fantastic channel too!
Singing along with this concert is my go-to remedy for a bad day. It makes me so happy that you got as much joy out of this performance as I do!
oooo this is one of their best songs! And this live version is fantastic. Glad to see you doing this one!
9:24 OMFG! I'm sorry but I've been a long time listener of Kamelot and your little insight of Roy Khan's vocal style just clicked it in my brain, of what his style is. That got me excited haha I just wanted to say.
You must do kamelot the haunting (live,from one cold winter night)
Yes! Simone Simons goes so well with Roy.
That's a classic!!
Ah... in case you want to take a look into Kamelot again you might enjoy The edge of paradise from this concert. Roy's voice in the beginning there is the most angelic thing I've ever heard and I'd love having your opinion on that🌸
Thomas has said in an interview that this is the song of which he is most proud. A masterpiece!
Anathema - Untouchable (part I & II) from Universal DVD
Beautiful song
OMG.This just made my day! I was waiting for this one!
Love seeing your reaction to and analysis on this one, Beth!
A fantastic modern rock opera the likes of which are rare these days.
symphonic power prog metal genre. there is many conceptual albums.
I would suggest watching Roy Khan's last exceptional performance, Memento Mori - Belgrade Live
Hahahaha love the instant genuine smile at 5:20. Roy will forever be my nr 1 singer. He's just amazing at every part he brought to the table.
Your channel is slowly blowing up. Keep doing what you're doing :)
Great video as always!
Edit: Now that I think about it, this dude reminds me of the male vocalist for Amaranthine. Interesting.
The sheer delight and fangirling here is such a mood.
"He sounds like a mermaid" 😍
Oh,sure he is unique ;)
There are few singers that are artists as well. Klaus meine from Scorpions floor Jansen from after forever Roy Khan from kamelot. These people have a gift.
There are many vocal coaches that do reaction videos. Beth is the only one that really REACTS to it, and adds technical comments to support her reactions.
OMG OMG OMG!!! This is going to be insane! Thanks
Oh lord do I miss Roy... one of the greatest voices I've ever heard live... absolutely on the dot throughout a 2 hour concert... a magnificent beast... I love Kamelot, I have nothing but love an respect for the current lineup and specially Tommy Karevik who has done a superb job so far, but Roy Khan is simply on an elevated realm for me... I wish he would sing somewhere, I wish he comes back and puts out more music... I really miss his beautiful voice...
dude he is back for a year, Conception - my dark symphony
Ooooooooh! I'm sooooooo late!
Roy Khan is an awesome vocalist, and this is one of my favourite songs from Kamelot with Roy as a lead singer (the live version, though, because, as much as the studio is cool, the live tops it, as is usually the case with metal bands I love, it seems, haha).
I love symphonic metal with all its contrasts. One minute it's beautiful and ethereal, and the next it's raw.
Thanks to the person that requested it and thanks for filling the request Beth!
And any concert that they play Sailormans Hymn at, I always lose my voice for a day or 3. It's fine, it's worth it to feel it in that moment. I love Kamelot so much!
As much as I know, Roy was sick at that live. That's why his voice is crackly at times and deeper at the low parts. But it makes it even more magnificent. He is an outstanding Vocalist.
Wait, was he really sick? He absolutely NAILED pretty much most of the notes. When he was sick in wacken 2008 you could really truly hear him struggle.
Welp, that was awesome.
How have I not heard this band before now? Another great band discovered via reaction video.
Thank you again Beth!
Powerful song. Roy reminds me a bit of Geoff Tate (Queensryche). Amazing vocals , and Roy owned that stage
I have such fond memories of Khan and his shows. He has such a special place in my heart. During my first show he hopped down and let me duet on "Center of the Universe," life never got that good again. The minute this man gets on stage in front of you, you are transported away for the entire set.
YES YES!!! OMG you did it, for the love of Rhoy KHan, Beth you did react to Elizabeth 1 2 3
The best norwegian vocalist ever
This whole concert was just out of this world, and is easily the best performance I have ever heard!!!
Only thing negative is that it could have been a much bigger venue! Roy Khan, you are in my heart forever!!!!!!!
Roy Khan is a GOD! I adore his vocals - he is in a "new" band now called Conception - you should check those out, also. I say "new" because he was with them before he joined Kamelot, he then left Kamelot took a break from music and then went back to Conception. I'm so, so happy he is back in the music scene, I have missed that wonderful voice of his.
He was in Conception before he was in Kamelot. They went on a hiatus while Khan was in Kamelot. Then they revamped years later. So in a sense, they aren't "new" per se. They have a new vibe in comparison to their older material though.
@@randomninja83 that is correct this is Roy's old prog metal band ..they formed in the late 80's.plenty of stuff on youtube of live performances from the early 1990's and full album tracks.he was in his ultimate form back then
For those that are asking "Who is this Roy Khan?" (that is outside and pre-Kamelot)
Check out his original band Conception ..
Every single album from their debut in 1991 to 1997 ..
And then their re-emergence (along with Khan's in almost a decade) in 2018 to present ..
fooser77 🤘🏼👍🏼HELL YAAA
Roy is definitely one of the best ..
That you mentioned "theatrical" and two voices in one ..
Check out Impellitteri doing "Phantom of the Opera."
I had a friend who asked me why i wanted my spotify not randomised. It's because Kamelot's albums are build like a story and needs to be listened to in order to get best results.
Omg Thankyou for reacting to this
One of my favourites
you are an honest woman. i love ya. roy khan can do everything beyond you and i.
Candlemass - Bewitched. There's a live version from 1990 with Messiah Marcolin on vocals. Video is VHS quality, but the singing is otherworldly. A Must!
classic TV director - pans to the bassist during the guitar solo.
I hate them
That's because guitar players don't want their solos copied by anyone else.
I'm been listening to this live version for over 10 years and I still get chills when he fully opens up and throws weight behind his voice on "Have I found myself, eternity?!"
Geoff Tate was my first major vocal influence, but Roy's ability to generate darker tone colors w/ pristine technique has also been a huge inspiration since I found Kamelot in college.
You have many songs singed by Roy Khan to react because he's incredible!!!!
If you liked Roy Khan, check out Conception, his older band... It's much more experimental and vocal-centered, less Power Metal than Kamelot. Last Sunset, Water Confines and The Promiser show his range really well. They recently reunited with him, too!
Oh I always loved Elizabeth - Fall From Grace. *sits down to watch your whole reaction vid*
I'd love to see your take on Tommy Karevik, the singer who replaced him. Very different and somehow similar to Roy.
Jilhoa1 meh his technique is so much worse than Roy.
@theonemav I read an interview with Karevik back in 2011 where he stated he had never had a singing/vocal lesson in his life. So yeah, since Roy Khan had lessons at a young age, Khan's technique would be much better. Still, Karevik has a very nice voice. Hopefully he;s taking lessons now too, at least to help him retain his voice while on the road if nothing else.
if so only with SW ! with Kamelot he;s singing rather safe as he persoanally stated "he needs to keep his b---ls in a closet so he can sing daily" while with SW he gives it all :/ quite dissapointing when you think of how khan gave 10000 percent of himself to kam
Both very operatic? Tommy has a higher natural tone, though Roy can get up there when he wants to.
Tommy is such a monster of a vocalist, as opposed to most of kamelot fans i actually prefer him to Roy, not saying that he's bad cause his very good ( in a different way) but what tommy has done in the last two albums and specially in Seventh wonder is just amazing, few vocalists have impressed me as much.
