Elizabeth,
Taylor did the Grinch somewhere around 6 y/o. What I think she meant at 11 y/o was...
Being one of the top3 girls considered for the role Hannah Montana.
Wondering what trajectory life would take if she had been offered that role...🤔
She has now called it a blessing in disguise...
Which I agree because I Love her work in The Pretty Reckless
Will you please consider reacting to this Beth Hart live at the Paradiso. Song is called Am I The One. I promise its a performance like you've never seen before. I know you did her once before but that video she wasn't even trying. Here is her full bore. Here's the link
th-cam.com/video/5Ro191bgp7k/w-d-xo.html
Thanks. Can you let me know if you will do it so I don't have to keep blowing up your comments. Thanks. Also I watch tons of reaction videos and your my favorite. You have such a great personality and love for music that it makes me feel great.
Suggest checking out *"Wild City"* and *"Back to the River"* from *The Pretty Reckless* for more awesomeness. This band is awesome, especially Taylor. But... the character of unplugged versions of these songs is different-not better or worse-from the studio/video version and ends up with different character than the original performance from which it was based. _It'd be completely awesome to see you provide compare and contrast studio versions against these intimate live performances._ (Ex.: How do vocalists and bands alter their approach to different performance settings?)
...while I'm at, recommend *"Superhuman"* from *Charlotte Wessels* (again!😛) 🤙🏼
Surprise review. Not many delve into Pretty Reckless. Marks for using the German word Dur for a major key, with diphthong being a small added bonus. Would be interested in your take on Beth Hart's performance of Am I The One live at the Paradiso, Netherlands..I believe it's from 2002. It's a crazy ride.
So there's a lot of great Pretty Reckless songs: "Going to Hell," "House on a Hill," "Miss Nothing," "Make Me Wanna Die," and of course, "Heaven Knows." But if you really want to hear how deep the damage goes, the song you want is "Kill Me," where she goes into pretty explicit detail about what happened to her as a child star, among other things. If you check that one out, remember to buckle up and be ready for a real rollercoaster of negative emotion.
And if you want to hear her and Lzzy Hale together, check out the cover that she, Lzzy, and Maria Brink from In This Moment released of Queen's "We Will Rock You," last year. There's a lot of menace in that cover.
I think Under the Water is also a very good, very dark song she did and goes well with "25". I've been hooked since someone showed me "Make Me Wanna Die" and there are almost no songs on any of her albums I would say are bad, some are just okay mind you, but none I'd skip and say it was bad.
I love them! So many amazing songs.
@Dirk yesss!!! That song is amazing!
Ye id like to see her do Make me wanna die and Heaven Knows. Its always funny watching reactors do Heaven Knows when that iconic scene shows up.
Death by rock and roll, Love can only save me now, Take Me Down
To hear Lzzy Hale and Taylor Momsen together, they join Maria Brink on a cover of We Will Rock You.
And the vocals order is Brink, Hale, then Momsen.
Hear Brink at least once first, either with The
In-Between or Fighter.
Yesss! This would be the perfect way for her to get into In This Moment. I'd love it if you analyzed "Fighter" by that band.
This is a good one for sure
Was going to recommend that myself. Especially when you mentioned Freddie Mercury
Man, I’ve been dropping Maria all the time. Whore, The Gun Show, Fighter, Burn…literally anything ITM is vocally…and musically…amazing.
I hope you get to them soon. All the Vocal Coaches & reactions seem to do the same things within a few weeks of each other.
Be the leader and do Maria & ITM before everyone else. Fighter rivals Adele, Christina, or any pop singer…but with full attitude & metal heart.
Taylor Momsen is really an underrated vocalist. Great control. And very powerful with that rare piercing quality to her voice when she really lays into it.
And she's got a ton of soul.
@@dowens3781 Definitely.
Agreed. She's definitely amazing. One of my personal favorite female vocalists today.
Honestly I think this happens to a lot of metal vocalists. Loads of people have no idea how much of a power house they really are. Just the way Taylor can project emotions sells me on her. Her voice is so hauntingly powerful and straight to the heart. Give me a good metal/rock vocalist any day.
She or one of her band mates was sick for Rockfest when I went and they couldn’t perform :’(
This is the perfect song for pretty reckless it’s really done just right it has all the feeling of a 007 James Bond song
isnt the next bond film nr 25? would've fit so well..
@@Whoracle8531 yeah instead they have Billie eilish who sucks
It helps that the main riff is a direct rip of the Bond melody lol
Was it intended as a contender for the next Bond movie?
Great call. I can literally see the opening credits.
Taylor Momsen and The pretty reckless just keep getting better and better as time goes on.
I've been a fan since the first album and each one seems to get better and better.
Taylor has such a strong powerful and emotional voice.
She looks so much more comfortable with herself these days, I love it.
Totally agree. Going to Hell and Miss Nothing are two of my favorite songs ever.
The Pretty Reckless have some VERY emotionally intense songs. "House on a Hill" and "Under the Water" are very emotional, underrated songs with fantastic vocals. Taylor is a very good vocalist who just keeps getting better.
Under the Water hits my soul from every dimension every time I listen to it. Vocal and lyrical masterpiece.
When she hits us with the "Saved!" I always get chills
With Taylor Momnsen, you don't just hear her singing, you FEEL it somewhere indescribably deep.
Taylor kicks ass. You really need to examine the acoustic version of "Death by Rock and Roll". Her voice live sounds just like it does on the recording. Powerful and amazing!!!
I'm so glad Taylor Momsen and The Pretty Reckless are finally getting the appreciation they deserve. When their first album came out there were a lot of people thinking it was just a phase or a vanity project from a teenage actress looking to get some street cred, but I'm glad she's proven that she's a real deal rocker. Plus the music of the Pretty Reckless has been getting better with each new album, they have a number of pretty great songs.
And since Lzzy Hale got mentioned, as much as I adore her voice, Halestorm's music leaves me quite indifferent by comparison to the Pretty Reckless. I find myself listening to their covers far more than their original songs. Lzzy absolutely rips on Dissident Aggressor.
Yeah, I remember her being mocked when she started music. Not just side eyed, but straight up mockery. It was really quite cruel stuff honestly. Not surprising, it was the mid to late 00s, and we’re only just now digging in to how awfully cruel and sexist the tabloid/celebrity culture was.
But she showed them.
It took Metallica a good 10 years to finally make it big.
Wonderful comment! Much agreed!
I have to agree with the Halestorm. I do enjoy them and own most of their music, however, I personally think Taylor has better songs.
When I first heard of the Pretty Reckless, I was inclined to write them off as a vanity project for a bored actress who thought she could sing. Then I listened, and really enjoyed the music, and saw some interviews with Taylor that made me think, “no, this girl really loves rock ‘n’ roll.” It’s been great watching her develop as an artist.
I had no idea who she was, and my first exposure to them was them opening for Stone Sour. I was in London for the week, and the next day I had all 3 of their albums.
"House On A Hill" is another absolutely haunting song from The Pretty Reckless, one that has never really gotten much popular attention. But I can already see that it's listed a few other times in the comments, so there ya go. :)
Thats one of my fav songs :D
I love this song!
this is by favorite pretty reckless song by far, it's amazing
Yeah, it’s a pretty depressing song , I was in a very depressed period of my life and that and other songs were both my heaven and hell.
Thankyou I will check it out. I love them
I am OVER THE MOON that you have gotten to Taylor's vocals. The unplugged casual Just Tonight is one of my favourite vocals ever!
Incredible... thank you soooo much for giving us (me hehe) your take on her voice!!
My favorite too!!
It's the greatest Bond sound track that never was.
This is one of my favorite reactions ever. So freaking good. I think the "trinity" must now be completed...
Let's do "In Between" by In This Moment
Yes, please! "The In-Between" is a great intro song to this band. It's got clean and harsh sections, and the mix of styles actually _makes sense_ for the song.
Can you do "Fighter" as well hits hard emotion.
Blood and Whore also
@@alicequeenofmadness9995 I was introduced to them through Big Bad Wolf and I was so socked I couldn't make heads or tails of them. And they I saw them opening for Halestorm, sold my soul immediately and never looked back. Long story short, those are probably all better options than BBW, I support these motions.
Technically she did do a song with Lzzy Hale. In This Moment did a cover of We Will Rock You with both of them. All 3 of their voices are pretty unique in my opinion.
After you've delved into Taylor and The Pretty Reckless a bit further, please give Maria Brink and In This Moment a go. The raw emotion of 'The Fighter' always brings tears to my eyes 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
I so agree there :)
Different but the perfect blend for the song :) \m/
Taylor said it best about her voice, in the song "death by rock n roll"- 'this sickness in my throat'. That is just a perfect way to describe that raspy gritty voice. she is the future of rock N Roll, and the future sounds AWSOME!
Taylor is by far my favorite female rock vocalist these days. From her 60's rock influences to her range and the hard rock albums she puts out there, she is keeping rock alive while so many other her age have given up on it.
Only Love Can Save Me Now is another great one from this album.
I really wish she'd choose to front Soundgarden for just one last album 🙏
It's been said already but I'm joining the chorus of voices in two things here:
1. you should definitely listen to the studio version of this song for full effect.
2. Maria Brink (from the band In This Moment) MUST be on your lookout as one of the next voices to react to on the channel!
Her "like a stone" tribute to Chris Cornell is ammmmmaazing
The best, most heart wrenching version was recorded live about 2 days after Chris' death. It's fan vid. So audio isn't perfect, but very good for what it is. However it's something very rare, a pure raw outpouring of grief and loss by a very talented artist. She had to pause several times to weep, but did an excellent job as she said "for Chris". Not only did she open for him that night, she waited for him after the show to thank him. She was one of the last people to see him alive. The next morning she found out he was dead.
@@fredbarnes2049 do you have a link for the video?
@@fredbarnes2049 super late response, but I was already a fan of her and the band before hand but that was the moment where I was like. Yeah she is on a completely different level. Talent and emotional. Wise the love that she had for Chris and the inspiration she took from him was on full display with how emotional her performance was. That was her hero her role model.
I don't know why, but Everytime I hear this song, I think it belongs in a James Bond movie.
Well, you have "Die Another Day" in there, staring down the barrel of a gun, and the last Bond movie was 25. I seemed like a perfect fit!
Now you need to do a song from In This Moment, I recommend River of Fire, and then you can listen to their singer Maria Brink do We Will Rock You with Taylor Momsen and Lizzy Hale. Even if you don’t react to it since there is no actual video just the audio recording you will love it.
There is a brilliant video that someone has put together for We Will Rock you th-cam.com/video/svYAxoZM0K8/w-d-xo.html
Agreed! I would say The Fighter would show off Maria's range and talent, and either river of fire, roots, or in between would show of the entire band!
River of Fire is a perfect song for Elizabeth to get introduced to Maria's voice. its one of my favorites from them too.
I was going to suggest In This Moment a while back... but I wasn't sure their videos may be a bit much for this channel. Never heard of them until I saw them open for Rob Zombie and Korn a couple years back. Kind of a show stealer.
I have been waiting for InThis Moment forever I want to see your reaction to Whore but I am most curious about your analysis of 11:11. Also Roots and Oh Lord
Was so surpised with the new album. "Only love can save me now" is a taste back to grunge, a must watch. Very underrated band.
I absolutely agree, it is an amazing track to sing out loud. And the track “ And So It Went “ is so anthem worthy.
I've been into them since the beginning, even though i paused sometimes, they are one of few bands who i love all their songs and i feel this fourth album is their best one yet. if i had to choose second it would be going to hell album
Sounds like it could've been a bond movietheme to me!
As for her singing... it's a perfect blend of pretty (pristine) and reckless (gritty to the point where she sounds like she's recklessly ripping her vocal cords)...
Tons of "Skyfall" vibes, specially around minute 07.
This absolutely sounds like an audition to write a future Bond theme. Strong Skyfall vibes, and some The World Is Not Enough vibes too.
i know i'm years late but it was apparently send in as a Bond theme, there even is the line of "Die another Day", in the end they chose Billie Eilish probably because she was the way bigger name. (All thing's i've heard, can't verify any of this myself obviously)
10:00 I love that “skip to eight.” She’s very intentional about her consonants. She reproduces every little detail from the studio recording live. Her consistency suggests that she puts a lot of thought into delivery.
It's absolutely criminal how underrated The Pretty Reckless is. Such an amazing band and Taylor has an amazing voice but also stage presence.
Those of us who know...know.
Absolutely
no, that's Michelle Branch's band. actually, their name choice is poor since theres a punk rock band with the same name. "pretty" reckless" is the most generically used youtube band names. not good for that choice but she does have talent. go michelle!
She is not underrated unless you know nothing about music
when people say "underrated" it leaves me thinking, ok by who? who is suppose to rate them? because people that find the band like it so... i don't get that, under or over rated are not real things.
"Like A Stone" by Taylor in honor of Chris Cornell is wonderful and sad. She was on tour with him and I think one of the last to see him alive.
And she sang it just two days after Chris died. Heartbreaking
Don't make me start crying just thinking about it.
Oh man, if she was friends with Chris, then I wonder if she knew Chester Bennington too since they were close. 2017 was not an easy year for that community.
I find it interesting how her eyes add to the emotional impact of the song. She never looks up, at the viewer, always keeping her eyes closed or looking down ever so slightly, and deprived of that personal connection from having her look at you, it increases the context of listening to someone's private pain pouring out than it would otherwise.
There is not a single bad song she's recorded. She's has an absolutely stellar voice backed with life experience, desire, passion and wisdom. I've seen and heard many very famous singers s and she is absolutely the finest female vocalist today in rock, and maybe in and genre. Her band compliments her voice with the music they make together and is equally powerful. The song you reviewed is a sifter touch in mostly hard rocking songs, but listen to Harley...it could easily be a country hit. Just choose anything she sings, as absolutely nothing disappoints and she's a complete breath of fresh air in a worn out industry. Wonderful review !
I love watching you nerd out about songs like this. I’ve heard this song so many times and it still gives me chills. I’d love to see Taylor with Lzzy Hale and Amy Lee.
Absolutely!! What a great collab that would be!
This song would lend itself to being a great Bond Film intro, stylistically. Reminiscent of Sam Smiths Bond song.
This is exactly what I thought when I first heard it, total Bond vibes
Me too, early Bond films and Shirley Bassey
Given the new Bond is the 25th film in the series, I can't help but think it's not a coincidence
There's whole reddit threads about why this was a bid to be the next bond song but Billie eillish won out.
5 to 6 a lie a kiss the secrets that were stirred wed never say (Bond #6 is In her Majesty's secret service)
Skip to 8 we called it fate, to live to let us die another day (film.8 is live and let die)
At 9 I saw the signs reflected in the barrel of a gun (9 is the man with the golden gun)
10 we're here again and those who love me burned up in the sun (10 is the spy who loved me, and rhe plot has a nuclear bomb bit)
The entire song is like this (the bridge count is all the daniel Craig films which started at 21)
House on a Hill is one of my favorites by The Pretty Reckless.
Adore Pretty Reckless. My favorite is 'Take Me Down', love the soul and style. And her voice is amazing, hard to believe how she started compared to now. Especially if you've seen the video to 'Way Down Below'.
Take me Down is the first Pretty Reckless song I've heard, and still my favorite too 😁
Thank you for mentioning Take Me Down. The album "Who You Selling For" is often overlooked. The album proves The Pretty Reckless has the musical prowess to write and perform all genre's of music. It fascinated me how the sound of the album took qualities from classic rock, grunge, funk, soul, blues, and effortlessly still epitomized the Pretty Reckless trademark sound. Phenomenal album.
I was thinking after you reviewed Lzzy Hale a few times that Taylor Momsen should be next on the list! If you ever decide to do The Pretty Reckless again, I recommend "The Walls Are Closing In / Hangman". Super awesome section at the beginning with just piano and Taylor, as well as a cool bridge of all Latin lyrics. Showcases her voice really well and one of my faves from them.
I'd also recommend "House On A Hill", which has a more acoustic feel to it and really places Taylor's voice in the forefront of the song.
On another note, I'm just gonna hope that In This Moment reaction isn't that far either ya know?
@@asinoralte2881 Hell yeah, an In This Moment reaction would be absolutely awesome!
I remember being amazed how they woven a heartbeat all through the House On A Hill (especially when I listened to it using a good headset)
House on a Hill, yesss, please 😍
I can never understand how everyone but me lumps TPR in with Halestorm and ITM... I truly hear no similarity. I can admit that Lzzy, solo, has a ton of talent and a powerful voice though TPR is more of a "original" hard rock sound (in most of their songs). Maybe it's a generational thing since I'm old as dirt and would compare TPR with Heart, Joan Jett, PJ Harvey and Lita Ford... maybe even Joplin.
Love the Pretty Reckless, Taylor's voice is such a beauty to listen to!
I think she is underestimated as Rock singer, because of her "pretty girl" actress image.
Your face when she goes to grit and back again to soft is brilliant! My feelings exactly listing to this song!
I actually wonder if she would do a reaction to In This Moment since she's reacted to Lzzy and Taylor. The band has an awesome cover of We Will Rock You and it showcases each of their voices quite well.
The band's lead singer, Maria Brink, also has some vocals and a beautiful range. I recommend Fighter, River of Fire, or Roots to start with but it's honestly all great.
Maria Brink is seriously under-rated
River of Fire gets me pumped every time. Black Wedding is a fun one, too.
I think Elizabeth would be FASCINATED by Maria’s vocals, especially after this reaction to Taylor.
Please react to Maria Brink from In This Moment, especially "Sick Like Me". She has an amazing voice. :)
Really love their song "In Between" myself.
I am in love with her voice. So textured, with great range and power and clarity when she wants it.
Another suggestion: As we come into the holiday season, you should try to find a good version of Christmas Canon Rock by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
She’s quickly becoming my favorite female singer.
Nop
@TheCharismaticVoice you should review the video and their interpretation of We Will Rock You with Taylor Momsen, Lizzy Hale and Marla Brink from In This Moment.
"That. Is. Delightful." Loved your expression when you were hearing that part.
"Only love can save me now" is a must to review. And of course "Heaven Knows"
She's awesome. Really need to get her albums. The effortless rasp and soft voice is always impressive. Very emotional end.
Talking of soft and har-😨 Rasp! or Roar! Would love to know what you think of Big Bad Wolf by In This Moment.
Momsen has a unique voice in that while she sounds extremely soft she can be raspy and raspy at the same time. She can easily express a lot of feeling through her voice, her timbre, and her vocal technique.
Certainly the most amazing singer that has emerged in the last decade and has become one of the best in rock n roll.
She can be raspy and raspy lol
"Take Me Down", from their "Who You Selling For" album, is probably my favorite song from their past albums.
musically, to me, it sounds like the opening of a James Bond movie. My favorite song will always be the first one I heard, when they were on Letterman. Make Me Wanna Die.
I can’t wait to see you react to Melody Cristea of Liliac. Their cover of Dio’s The Last In Line was requested by Wendy Dio for their cancer fund and is absolutely freaking epic. Knowing you’re a Dio fan, I think you’d appreciate another. Dio is Melody’s idol.
You should probably check out Violet Orlandi here on TH-cam as well. Her whole crowd makes some good music and showcases a variety of vocal talents. Her Ghost covers alone are amazing.
Hmm, I've never heard of them, but I'll have to check them out. Cristea is a Romanian family name and Liliac means bat (as in 🦇) in Romanian. I wonder if there's a connection here.
Thanks for mentioning this 🍻
@@razvanmazilu6284 Actually their parents are Romanian by birth, immigrated to America after the fall of communism. The name of the band came about because their father is from Transylvania and the band strives for a gothic look with an old school metal sensibility. As was said when they do Dio it's exceptional, he was the lead singer Melody's chief inspiration.
Yes to both! I know your channel is very popular and has a very long wait list, but both artists are fairly new and very active. I'm tempted to recommend Liliac's cover of Dio's "Last in Line" maybe the best thing they've ever done, but I have to go with their own "Sail Away". Violet's cover of "Like a Stone" is I think one of the 2 best ever, it brought me to tears. The other version was Taylor Momsen's
You might like The Secret of the Runes album by Therion. My favourite songs are Midgard and Vanaheim. It's a concept album, combining Norse mythology, opera, and metal. Very pleasing to the ear.
Rarely do songs give me goosebumps throughout, but this unplugged version is arctic in it's shiver inducing sound. I just saw The Pretty Reckless live, too. She, and the rest of the band, are really great live, as well.
Hi... please do it react, Dark Avenger Brazilian band, Morgana song's with front man Mario Linhares (R.I.P). Thank you
Taylor Momsen is fantastic. You can feel the emotion in her voice. Oh yeah, Howard Jones - Killswitch engage, you should definitely analyze his voice.
hello all good i leave you the name of a band from japan is not very well known but has followers has a mix of metal death metal visual pop band Broken By The Scream - Do ・ Do ・ IN ・ Pa !! I recommend this topic is live Show-
2018.09.05 I hope a videoreaction of this band kisses, greetings from Argentina Norteamaerica
Thank you for finally react to them, The Pretty Reckless is very underrated and deserves more attention. Other songs I recommend from them are Only Love Can Save Me Now, House on a Hill, Witches Burn and the list is endless 😅
You really have to check out PLUSH!! Moriah Formica is one of the best singers out right now and you are missing out! They are an all-female band all under 21 and the singer is compared to Ann Wilson/Amy Lee/Lzzy Hale. They have a new song being released this coming Friday called Athena. Please react to it you won't be sorry. BTW they are going on tour with Evanescence and Halestorm this Fall in support of their album which comes out at the end of October.
In the group of "hard rock ladies" (Halestorm, In This Moment, Pretty Reckless, etc) I think Taylor is easily my favorite.
We are spoiled.
Floor, Courtney, and Brittney, and many more are so good.
100% got chills when you said it was unplugged, I absolutely love her and her voice!!!
I would be genuinely surprised if this song was not written for the new James Bond movie.
Glad I'm not the only one who picked up on this. It seems really obvious.
i was totally thinking that too, glad im not the only one. middle of the song im like wow this is very bondesk
Honestly it doesn’t even seem remotely vague. While she claimed in an interview that this was “autobiographical” she also said that “of course” it was inspired by James Bond and she’s a huge fan. My guess is it was (sadly) a rejected Bond song and she didn’t want to hassle with royalties/licensing issues. The lyrics are awesome but maybe even a little on the nose. And she’s rocking a martini in the music video. Good song though.
Five to six, a lie, a kiss. The secrets that were stirred we'd never say- Film 6 On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
Skipped to eight, we called it fate, to live to let us die another day- Film 8 Live and Let Die (1973)
At nine, I saw the signs, reflected in the barrel of a gun- Film 9 The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Ten, we're here again. Those who loved me burned up in the sun - Film 10 The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
@@doofinator4285 Both things can be true but your analysis of the lyrics seem spot on to me.
And for the next song, You do a cover of "25"
That would be awesome=)
her acoustic version of hit me like a man is amazing.
This was brilliant! Please react to "Suite Sister Mary" from Operation: Livecrime by QUEENSRYCHE!!!!
As others have mentioned "House on a Hill" and Queen's "We Will Rock You" cover are great choices.
Elizabeth, Have you ever heard a song/singer that you haven't liked? }:]
Although I am mostly into rock, metal & blues - I'd like you to react to Summer Moved On by A-ha. Morten Harket has an amazing voice and he holds a note for like ever in it.
Taylor is an absolute beast! One of the rare bands, where I prefer the acoustic versions, and there are a lot them.
This is the way to listen to Taylor Momsen. Her live acoustic performances are always better than the albums. She did a lot of them earlier in her career. Here's "Hit Me Like A Man" from 2012, she's not even using a microphone.
th-cam.com/video/XWvrxlyG5F8/w-d-xo.html
Oh, I love The Pretty Reckless, more please!!
The beauty in the simplicity of the unplugged version perfectly amplifies the pain in the lyrics. Taylor is such a powerhouse. Her control, her delivery, everything about this performance just has me in awe and rips my heart out. I'm gonna need a minute.
Always amazing! So many great acoustic versions they’ve done that can be found on TH-cam. I love the version of Since You’ve Been Gone where it’s just her and Ben sitting on stools. Hit me Like A Man has an amazing version similarly performed. So many great songs and fantastic live band! Plus you can hear Taylor and Lzzy along with Maria Brink from In This Moment doing a cool cover of Queen’s We Will Rock You.
Finally Taylor Momsen!!! I love her voice. I’m waiting for the reaction of Halestorm’s Break In ft. Amy Lee
Please react to Maria Brink (In this Moment) Big bad Wolf 👌👏
Taylor Momsen's voice always makes me so emotional. Thank you for doing this!
Wait you said duet...how bout a triple threat her lzzy hale and Maria brink..we will rock u
Nice! Been a fan of The Pretty Reckless for quite awhile!! Awesome to see Elizabeth checking them out!
Wonderful band... I love these guys, playing along to their songs on my bass is a blast. Taylor is awesome, of course, and does such a fabulous job with this song. Can't wait to hear your reaction, Elizabeth. Please add another tally for me on "FASTER" by Within Temptation. (Best version: th-cam.com/video/iQVei5C2N4E/w-d-xo.html) Sharon den Adel seriously rocks your socks on this one. I'm dying to get your take on her vocals. I've listened to it hundreds of times and it still blows me away.
Hi Elizabeth! Thrilled you got to The Pretty Reckless! Would love it if you did "House on a Hill" by them.
I also think it's a good opportunity for you to see a bit of In This Moment, Maria Brink's vocals are also pretty unique. I'd recommend "Fighter" or "Black Wedding" before some of their heavier songs. Maria, Taylor and Lzzy also did a pretty interesting cover of "We Will Rock You" together for In This Moment's latest album.
Frankly, I can't wait for you to check more of their work out 😄
Also, and as a side note, I'd recommend you check out more of Faouzia's stripped work. One of my favorite is "Bad Dreams", where it's just her and a piano. Or the stripped version of the song you already reviewed "Tears of Gold", I think you'll like that version far more 😊
Please watch a song by In This Moment. They have some live ones that are good!
I definitely heard the Beatles during the uplifting part. However, where you were struggling to think of who she is similar to during the chorus where she sings, "At 25..." I hear Bruce Dickinson, very Iron Maiden. Especially when she sings, "...All hope has died," to me is exactly how I think Bruce would attack it. If you want another good song of hers, "Take Me Down," one of my favorites.
Up the irons!
Glad I'm not the only one who heard Dickinson there.
I remember hearing this song for the first time pretty recently and being stunned by the depth of her voice. I had only heard her grittier rock voice and was so impressed with this. They've become one of my favorite bands. You should check out the band Dorothy if you like them!
Have been listening to Taylor for quite some time now, and they have evolved into something truely great. Her vocals, writing and emotion that she has put into her music just makes it all the better. Hope you have the chance to experience her energy in person. And hopefully see you going through her other works as well. 'Only You' comes to mind, 'Absolution', the really short 'Burn' and 'Blame Me', just a short list of the many songs you can feel her rawness come through.
Hi Elizabeth! So, students of yours have done this? I have never heard of the song nor the artist, but you have tuned me into other songs and/or artists before, so, let's do this. Of course, after work for me, so I'll miss the premiere. Already looking forward to getting home from work. :)
The Pretty Reckless is incredible, I highly recommend you to check them out. Their latest album is the album of the year for me
The pretty reckless is one of my favorites!! Their new album Death by Rock n roll is amazing!! Would love to see you react to And So It Went.
I was waiting a reaction about TPR also under the water it's a Great song
I love how she goes into "Bond-theme mode" at 8:20 and at 8:50 sings: "to live, to let us die another day" (Bond movie right there), before delivering a verse like a flickering candle flame, similar to what Billie Eilish does at 2.15 into "No Time To Die".
Soo happy to see Taylor get some love for her vocal ability. Those moments where she lets the ragged edge get out so precisely shows how fantastic her control is.
For some reason, I get serious James Bond theme song vibes from this. Such an amazing song, thank you for introducing it to me.
I saw a lot of people wondering if this was their attempt to be the official song for No Time to Die (which is the 25th bond movie)
The Pretty Reckless was one of the corner stones of my music taste as a kid, still shows through today. I've quite literally never heard a song from them I don't like, and I've listened to every single album thus far. They're the kind of band where I want every single album as a physical copy just to be able to look at them and be like "Damn they really fucking rock" 😂
If you decide to listen to another song by hers, I highly recommend "House on a Hill" .... the lyrics and the feeling in that song is amazing too.
Taylor sounds like she's singing like a 1940's or 1950's lounge singer. Really old school!
Would love to hear her do a James Bond theme song.
There was a rumor, which I happened to believe, that this song was made for the last James Bond movie, which was #25. She shot that down with the story of it being based on personal events, but listen to the music, it's a loose variation of the James Bond theme song. My theory is that she's singing from Miss Moneypenny's perspective.
Can you breakdown Storm Large's rendition of 'Take On Me', by A-Ha at AGT 2021?
Or maybe her performance of 'Long Black Veil', for the helloween season?
A song with a story!!?? Refreshing to actually hear a story, not just a hook And a chorus. Great song by a talented young lady.
I love watching your reactions to all of these videos. You really need to do 1 for KISS unplugged song ( I still love you ) I think it will blow you away.
This is a band that I just started listening to and I'm really liking what their doing, like her voice, this thumbnail is a little bit better 😆
Ha!!! I was just listening to Taylor Momsen a few minutes ago and thinking how interesting if she would be analyzed by The Charismatic Voice.
She does an in studio cover of Champaign Supernova that is simply beautiful. During the bridge she smoothly slides into Dear Prudence for a bit and then finishes off Champaign Supernova.
I forgot about this cover. Thank you for the reminder-it’s amazing.
Hey, patron supporters can yall recommend something by Nine Inch Nails? I don't think she has done anything by them.
You should check out Halestorm's acoustic rendition of their song "Amen".
Lzzy's technique is on full display and you just might want to feature it for a vid-review.
I spent many moons assuming that My Medicine was the best vocal performance and when I heard 25 I realsied that there was a whole new level beyond that.
