- One of Tommy Karevik's favorite songs of the Kamelot era about the importance of never giving up on yourself or the people around you, and that you can always make a difference in someone else's life. I just absolutely LOVE and ADORE that message, and am so excited to analyze not only this but speak with Tommy in an interview right afterwards!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Kamelot performing "Under Grey Skies" for the first time, featuring Charlotte Wessels!

May I suggest you to do a vocal analysis of the amazing band Pain of Salvation? I recommend Iter Impius and Martius Nauticus II Live or The Passing Light of the Day.
Aahhh I love this channel! Thanks so much for the kind words, I loved performing this song with Kamelot and Tommy is such a phenomenal singer! Also thanks so much for everyone suggesting my songs in the comments, it means a lot! ❤️❤️❤️
It's the minimum we can do, you deserve it ^^
That was a fantastic performance. I Iove it when the artists see these videos and get personal feedback, it makes it so real and they must feel so appropriated by a fellow professional singer (who's obviously got a voice of the highest quality).
I'd love to see Geoff Tate and Bruce Dickinson see these compliments because they are channel favourites.
Lovely to see it ladies.❤️
🤘🐙🤘
You're a gem Charlotte
Love your stuff Charlotte!! Get in there and dig into her lovely sound Elizabeth!
Tommy is so underrated in the metal sphere. The dude is out of this world and a top class human being. I wish he and his bands got more attention.
Kobra Paige, Tommy's other half, is worth hearing too. Kobra and The Lotus have messages in their songs (eg Light Me Up) similar to Delain (eg We Are the Others).
How much more recognition do you need? Dude is in one of the best symphonic power metal bands ever.
You are so right!!!
it really says alot when you replace ROY KHAN and do a good job at it
@@OfficialFo Agree!
Charlotte isnt "just" a magnificent singer, she is a songwriter and a multi-instrumentalist too. You must to see her stage presents to catch her charisma, power and little "crazy but kind" moments! First time i saw here 13 years since but she still always enchants me :)
Elizabeth, you really should listen to Charlotte Wessels when she is in Delain. Songs like, See Me in Shadow, Frozen, Sever, We Are the Others, Your Body is a Battleground, Sing to Me, Lullaby, One Second and We Had Everything are so good. This is just a few songs, but there are so many good songs to choose from. I love her voice.
She was the lead singer.... They sadly broke up.
@@raoefvanmouwerik9037 no they are technically still around but nearly all the last lineup members left.
@@patrickschardt7724 You are technically right. :-D
@@raoefvanmouwerik9037 Yes Martijn plans to bring in various "artists" rotations but he's done touring! The band members wanted to continue under the name but Martijn rejected the idea. Their drummer joined Merel Bechtold's band DEAR MOTHER - check out 12 Years in Exile. Their singer is a SUPERSTAR!!!
@@Axe_Slinger Martijn/Delain announced a date of live performance a few days ago. So... no one except Martijn and ex-Delain members knows exactly what and why happens. :(
Stoked you are finally getting to hear Charlotte Wessels! Her work with symphonic rock band Delain is well-known and high-caliber. Her recent solo work is a mesmerizing self-produced lockdown project with sounds in the best traditions of Tori Amos, Björk, and similar. Highly recommend *"Superhuman"* and/or *"Soft Revolution"* .
Me too!
Jeah been waiting for it 😍
Charlotte is another one of the phlanax of female Dutch metal gems. I really love her work!
It would be interesting to see your reaction to Kamelot's "The Haunting" with their former singer Roy Khan feat. Simone Simons, as this showcases both their old singer and another great duet!
The live version from 2006 is just amazing.
Yes! The Haunting!! Elizabeth would get a serious kick out of their voices!
And then she can mention Simone is married to the keyboardist lol
I think she did an early Kamelot song with Roy before, Elizabeth part I,ii,iii.
@@shorey66 It is not so early KAMELOT, it is prime time KAMELOT really, or approaching their peak. But I know it is a little nit-picking. :) At the beginning of the 2000's, that band ruled so hard they seemed to plateau on the summit of excellence for 3 albums, just after the one "Elizabeth" is from.
Kahn leaving Kamelot, what a travesty. Still cant get over the loss.
There's something great about watching someone cackle with joy whilst listening to music.
Knowing that he can keep that voice while being a fire fighter...
BUT HE'S COMPLETELY SELF TAUGHT. Tommy is amazing.
I've been waiting for approximately forever for Elizabeth to get to Charlotte.
Edit after watching the vid: Charlotte is one of the sweetest, most optimistic people out there. Elizabeth would absolutely love diving into her work. I'd suggest starting with Nothing Left (live) for her work with Delain, and Victor (live) for her solo work.
Also, Charlotte is close with a lot of the TCV All-Stars. She's friends with Simone Simmons, Alissa White-Gluz, Elize Ryd, Sharon Den Adel, Melissa Bonnie, Marko Heitala, and Floor.
You just picked my most favourite Delain song!
More Kamelot and I've been desperately waiting for you to do Charlotte Wessels! I adore this song and honestly Charlotte is a star. I've been a fan of Delain for over a decade now and I've been keeping up with all her Patreon stuff! She's definitely someone I reckon you could get for an interview also.
One of the moments I love the most in this is after the final belt, the cameras catch Sean (bassist) grinning his head off. When you are making the rest of your band smile like that, you're creating magic.
I think “just a blue eyed believer of the colors in you” is such a beautiful lyric and sentiment. It gets me every single time. In Twilight Hours is another gorgeous Kamelot ballad.
This version is actually way better than the studio version. I think Tommy is very underrated as a vocalist, and while I loved Kahn, I feel Tommy's voice is more versatile. Top marks for this song.
I like it better too! Tommy's vocals really shine live. Unfortunately rare now, but they are such incredible musicians.
Man, I've been sleeping on Kamelot. I didn't realize their vocalist had this amazing of a voice.
Oh man! We finally get more Kamelot, and I’ll be at a dentist instead! I was also a Delain fan, so I’m glad you’re hearing Charlotte Wessels.
Speaking of Kamelot, you should check out also some of their earlier albums with original singer Roy Khan.
He left the band because he suffered from a massive burn-out, some years ago but he recently started singing again with his first band Coneption and is also on one of Arjen Lucassen´s Star One albums.
Kamelot is one of the rare cases of a band, which had not one but 2 exceptional vocalists singing for them.
Kamelot's original singer was Mark Vanderbilt. Granted, they got the spotlight with Khan, but please, check your facts prior to writing stuff.
@@FlixPat Possible that OP here did not consider Mark Vanderbilt to be an exceptional vocalist. This is really a case of opinion, not fact.
YESSSS i've been waiting for that, i love this performance so much! Also I'm so happy to see Charlotte on this channel. She's amazing, you really should take a look into her music as well, what a talent!
Now that I think about it, Tea time with Charlotte would be lovely, i feel like you would harmonize so well.
I can't listen this song without crying. 😭😍 🙌👍👏this couple of artists gave us an extraordinary vocal performance.
Can you imagine how being on the front row of that DVD recording was like? If you notice Thomas in the beginning, looking down while playing the acoustic guitar, he's probably looking at me crying my eyes out 🤣
I've been hoping you'd do a Charlotte Wessel video. She's got a great voice and is doing an interesting musical project via kickstarter at the moment after the Delain drama. Some other stuff from her that would be cool to see would be "Soft Revolution" Live with Timo Somers for her solo work and The Gathering live at Masters of Rock, featuring someone you would definitely recognise.
*Edit, project is via patreon not Kickstarter
YES! Absolutely upvote Charlotte Wessels' solo work. Either "Soft Revolution" or "Superhuman" would be fantastic! 🤘🏼
Is it just me who thinks Delain hasn't really make full use of her voice, after i heared this ?
@@beldin2987 in the first years I agree, but the last years with stuff like Masters of Destiny she came more to her potential in my opinion :)
@@SilvaLuna I really can't wait for Elizabeth to hear Masters of Destiny! Every time I listen to it, I think; what would Elizabeth say of this? and this bit? ooh ooh this!
I would love to hear you react to Roy Khan's iconic ballad with Kamelot, "Abandoned"!
If you want to hear more from Charlotte Wessels, Masters of Destiny is a beautiful song which features a good selection of what she can do, I think :)
I can't believe I'm just now hearing about Kamelot. They're SO GOOD.
You'll have to get Charlotte for some tea time.
YEEEEESSSSSS!!! 2nd, 3rd, 4th, AND 5th, this.
One of my favourite Kamelot songs. ❤️
I'm still hoping you'll react to something featuring JP Leppäluoto someday. "Dance With The Dragon" by Dark Sarah would be up your alley, I think.
Charlotte Wessels is a fabulous singer. Her work with Delain is something to listen, any song actually 😉 Great vidéo, again!
Tommy and Khan are so damn good with the vocals. You truly feel every lyric when listening to a Kamelot ballad
I discovered this channel when Tommy shared your reaction to Sacrimony, and it's always great to see how authentic your excitement to great vocals is and how insightful your comments are
Charlotte Wessel and Melissa Bonny with the cover of Enya's hit "Let it be" together with the rest of the Dark side of the moon is a really awesome duet!
Ohhh yeah this is a good one. Absolutely breathtaking. I still hope for more Khan era Kamelot but this is some of Tommy Kamelot's finest work.
Memento Mori live with Khan could be a great reaction
Or perhaps The Haunting for the Simone bonus. I will say though I actually find Under Grey Skies my most emotionally moving Kamelot song even though I generally prefer the Roy era. It is just golden. Charlotte is special.
Definitely more Kamelot. 👍
I agree to that! ❤
Please do more Tommy's analysis! You should go for The Great Escape - it's 30 min long but it's worth it! It shows his diversity as a vocalist fully.
The album this song is from is an absolute masterpiece. There is seriously not a single bad song.
I also will echo checking out Charlotte more. Her stage presence is incredible and she is such a sweetheart. Every time I met her, I got a hug. She's amazing
Which album is it? Karma?
@@shorey66 Haven
You can almost see tears of joy when Elizabeth is talking about the technical side of their singing. There's so much appreciation and aknowledgement of their trade. Song is also absolutely beautiful, so I guess that helps too. :D
So cool that you finally noticed Charlotte Wessels!:)) She's an amazing singer. Delain parted ways, so Charlotte now is doing her solo carrer -- Please check out her Soft Revolution studio music video!
I love that you're finally getting a glimpse of Charlotte! I highly recommend a reaction to 'Masters of Destiny'
This song is beautiful, and a moment of grace in everyday life
Charlotte her voice was a little bit underwhelming next to Tommy his 'out of this world' voice. But i want to urge you all to take a listen to Charlotte her voice in Delain or Phantasma. Her sound is so unique and mysteaque, you will love it. 😀
This track in particular really solidified Tommy's spot in Kamelot. Everything he has done with them has been great, but this is a signature track for sure.
sounds so good
I can't wait for this reaction! This song is so emotional ❤️
Tommy and Charlotte are seriously amazing. And this song is amazing. Tommy is usually underrated and I don't understand why. Charlotte is a queen.
Seventh Wonder just released a music video for their new single"The Light" if you want to hear another side of Tommy. Would be cool to see you react
it blows my mind how good tommy sounds live. one of the few singers who tends to sound even BETTER live than on the records. seen him with kamelot before and the guy is INSANELY talented
If I get to sing with Tommy just once in my life... I would be completely content! His vocals are perfection and when he sings I feel like I'm wrapped in a blanket. And this performance from the both of them is just so amazing. How they compliment each other, and when they go to the power notes they are both giving each other the strength to belt! So beautiful! 💖
Since I discovered Elizabeth's TH-cam Channel, this is probably THE video I've waited for so long.
Under Grey Skies is my favorite song/duet EVER !
Thank You, miss Zharoff !
All my support from France 🇨🇵 !
I have been completely obsessed with this song recently and am dying to hear your reaction to it. Absolute beauty
This is one of my favorite songs from them
Your face represents me!! I just adore him!
I'm such a fan of Charlotte and Tommy. Have been lucky to see both live in their respective bands! If you get a chance, there is a Kamelot song called Somewhere In Time, with the previous singer (Roy Khan) and Simone Simons from Epica. Very different (Simone is an incredible singer) but just as beautiful.
The Kamelot song with Roy and Simone is called The Haunting. And yes, Roy's voice with Simone's is pure honey. Better in my opinion than Tommy and Charlotte. Simone and Roy much more into classical opera style. Tommy's ballads sound like they belong in Disney movies.
Kamelot's previous singer Roy Khan is probably my favorite singer of all time, and I was devastated when I heard he left the band. That said, hearing Tommy for the first time on their first song with him, Sacrimony (Angel of Afterlife), was such an amazing and reassuring experience. I didn't want Roy to leave, but if anyone was going to replace him then I'm glad it was Tommy.
Be sure to check out "In Twilight Hours" from the latest album. Definitely my favourite duet from the new era of the band, blew me away. Jennifer Haben is great on that track!
Charlotte is an incredible vocalist and songwriter. You have to look into her more :)
This song always brings me to tears because of how beautiful it is. Tommy's voice really moves me and speaks to me on so many levels.
I'm also very impressed about how big his note spectrum is, from hitting very low to very high notes.
I'm glad he's representing Sweden in this way!
Thankyou! Love this whole concert video!.... the "creaking" = casual but emotive! Love Charlotte!! Her singing with Marko from Nightwish should be on your list too! Metal IS family! Alissa White-Gluz sang (yes, SANG not just growled) at this concert, Elize Ryd sang at this concert too. It was AWESOME. I'd love to see a collab between Nightwish and Kamelot - I could almost die happy then!!
Should interview Charlotte soon. 🙏🏼
She's always been my favorite vocalist 💕 her voice just melts me.. I have all of Delains cds 💿 Great stuff..
This was how I first heard of Charlotte, and her voice was so beautiful I had to find out where she was from.
I'm glad to watch you reacting to this song and to Charlotte! Hope for more CW to come 💪🏻💪🏻
I really love Tommy as a person and as a singer. I can safely say that he is my inspiration in life and when I listen what you are saying about him, I got butterflies in my stomach for real. Just like when I hear him sing ❤
Charlotte goes into full belt in Masters of Destiny. You HAVE to review it! She doesn't come anywhere close to her full power in this song.
It's.a.ballad
Please please please check out more Charlotte Wessels! I second those suggesting Soft Revolution - beautiful song! And from Delain, I would also go for Masters of Destiny. She has also collaborated with many people you know, including Marko Hietala and Alissa White-Gluz.
I would also absolutely love it if you did a Tea Time Interview with her, simply because she is the most wonderful and genuine human being 😊
Having watched quite a few of your reaction videos, I figured this was likely another operatic metal band. (And I was right!) But WOW, was I not prepared for this duet! Such an amazing and inspiring song! And glimpsing a few of their other videos, I have a new band to check out.
This is such a beautiful metal ballad.. and they are amazing singers.... as always, loving your insights... stay healthy and well!
So glad to see Kamelot here. "So pretty" is pretty much their profile!
You should check Charlotte in Delain and from her solo work I highly highly recommend Soft Revolution, that song is epic!
I worked as one of the concert staff for KAMELOT's live show in Korea ... Everything was so busy but such fond memories ... Youngblood was so chill and wise , like a great leader should be ......
I was also given the task of finding a "vegan" restaurant (not very common at the time) around the area for a certain "Blue haired" guest vocalist member ... she was ranting about the shows in Japan just before coming to Korea ... she saw some certain fans that came to ALL the concerts and casually asked : "will you come to Korea too ?" smiling , their answer was : "NOOO ... never ... we hate Korea" ... she was like "why ?" ... and I was like : "i'm not surprised at all" ...... 🤣
Anyway , the concert ended well and everybody had a great time before leaving 1 day later ......
I was so proud to have personally helped the vegan member ... because she wasnt well known by then but short time later became known worldwide by becoming the new vocalist of ARCH ENEMY ......
Thank you for another great video and having much giggles ... Cheers and pops to Lady Charisma ......

...... ...... ......
His vocals in Kamelot are really good. His vocals in Seventh Wonder are on another level.
This song is beautiful. The studio version also features the musicianship of Troy from Nightwish
I absolutely love how giddy and excited you get over certain aspects of a song
I think i have never heared anything from Charlotte before that impressed me that much than this song 😲😲
Beautifull song! Especially their voices together at the end....goosebumps!
I always love watching your reactions....those facial expressions!😁
I was at this show in Tilburg 😃
such a special evening, there were lots of special guests and this was the only time they did this song on that tour.
If you want to check out Delain, i would suggest Masters Of Destiny.
One of their best songs i.m.o. ànd a great vocal performance by Charlotte , from sweet, vulnerable to the big belting in the chorus, which is another goosebump moment for me.
All the best from The Netherlands!
I remember crying my eyes out at this concert because of how well they brought this song and how much hope is caught in the music. LOVE IT.
Thanks for your analysis and interview with Tommy. You made my day with this.
I was waiting for this reaction! Such a beautiful song, and a perfect one for Tommy to display the full array of his vocal prowess
Charlotte Wessels duets with Melissa Bonny in The Dark Side of the Moons version of Enya's "May it be". :-)
Saw Kamelot at a small venue a couple years ago with Delain and Lauren Hart from Once Human. Gotta be one of the best live performances ever.
More Charlotte Wessels please 🥰
Charlotte Wessels best performance is on Delain's song GET THE DEVIL OUT OF ME! The slides she performs are CRAZY! She trained as a Jazz singer!
She also does a song with Alissa White-Gluz. The Red hair and the Blue hair meld perfectly together!
such a sweet and pretty song, thoughts from a simple listener
when I bought and watched this BluRay at home this gave me soooooooooooo many chills and emotional tears... Seeing it again years later, same reaction 💙 Tommy is simply the best and Charlotte does also a beautifull work on this duet. Love them both!
Oooooh I absolutely adore this track 😭
Been hoping you would get around to some of Charlotte's vocals. And just knew you would love this song..but it's just the tip of the iceberg 😀
yes, more Charlotte!
I'm so glad to see more Kamelot. Tommy is absolutely captivating when performing.
Tommy is amazing and always a joy to hear. Charlotte's voice is always exciting to hear. If you want to hear a couple super vocalists at work you should check out Charlotte and Mellissa Bonny's cover of May it Be with Dark Side of the Moon. Or for a littel different vocalizations Charlotte with Delain has a couple duets with Marco from Nightwish, specifically The Gathering from Monsters of Rock.
Your first video i saw was your first Kamelot reaction, it introduced me to both your channel and Kamelot, and since then your channel has become one of my favorite reaction channels and Kamelot has become one of my favorite bands. Soo happy to see you doing more of them, AND you even got an interview with Tommy himself, how cool is that??
Tommy Karevik is a very good singer, but Roy Khan is just gorgeous.
Couldn't agree more!!!
You said it brother. People say he has the voice of God, and I'll be damned if he doesn't. Incredible talent is Roy.
Thanks Elizabeth, your knowledge always enhances the listening experience, and seeing your passion for music is wonderful.
Happy Oaks Day from Kentucky (and from Elizabethtown therein) Elizabeth, and Happy Derby Day tomorrow! I’m so excited to see this reaction, as I just watched The Gathering from The Monsters of Rock featuring Marco Hietala. I hope I spelled his name correctly. It was an amazing performance that I think was alluded too in another comment. Thank you so much for being who you are and doing what you do! We love you.
I can't wait for Derby Day!
This song means sooo much too me because I have had periods where I didn't wanted to be part of this part but when i heard this song for the song I cried my heart out because as Tommy already mentioned about what the song is about I made a MASSIVE switch in my life where I said to myself OKAY you are now gonna fight because you DO deserve too be hear in this world. It's soooo awesome how strong the medium of music can be such a massive part of your life.
I don't know how many times I've watched this video, or how many times I'll watch it in the future. The song is beautiful, the vocals are exquisite, and the pure joy in Elizabeth's reaction and analysis is intoxicating.
Saw it live 5/4/2018...Awesomeness!!
I absolutely love this live version of this song, as you said Tommy and Charlotte really blend together so well. It would be great to see a reaction just to Charlotte though, she is an awesome singer. I would suggest We are the Others as one to listen to, it's Charlottes reaction to the senseless death of a young Goth Girl in England and can get very emotional, also The Gathering (Live at the Masters of Rock) , Stardust and Burning Bridges.
Also recently Charlotte and Melissa Bonny did a version of "May it Be" with Dark Side of the Moon that's pretty awesome
I saw them on this tour. So glad they filmed it. It was a magical show. The Keyboard on Drum solo together was a highlight.
Oh god. I don't know how I'm only finding your reaction to this song one year later. This is one of my favorite Kamelot songs ever, specifically this live performance. Whenever Tommy sings the first "and did you know that every cloud has a silver lining", I always get goosebumps. On hard days, it immediately makes me tear up. This has been a hard week for me and finding this video made it a lot better!
Your giddiness makes me smile! I totally understand it!
I saw Kamelot live Sept 2019. It was the last concert I went to before you-know-what happened. They were spectacular!!!! 💗
I love this song so much! He really is one of the best male vocalists I believe. The power of this song is awesome! They sing it together perfectly.
They both are soooo amazing. My 2 most cherished bands. Beth is fangirling, though (who wouldn't lol). Damn you, lucky Tommy!
A Khan-era ballad from Kamelot I love is Abandoned from The Black Halo. I wonder if there’s a particularly good live recording somewhere.
There sure is, after all it's a quite central piece of both the Black Halo and One Cold Winter's Night.
Go now and watch it! I'm jealous; wish I could see it again for the first time. I've only watched it about a thousand times now. So GOOD!
If you do more Kamelot stuff, I would love love love to see your reaction and response to Song for Jolee or Prodigal Son 😍
Ooh. A reaction to Prodigal Son would be a blast to watch!
YES MORE KAMELOT PLEASE
