Teen Opera Singer Reacts To Queensrÿche - Silent Lucidity 

Watching a new generation experience the music I grew up on is such a joy. It's almost like I'm experiencing it again for the first time. Enjoy your musical journey

The cellos playing a bit of Brahm's Lullaby at the end is the perfect final touch to an incredible song.

Great reaction! Yea, Queesnsryche is such a talented band that defiantly has their own sound like no other. Also, "Geoff" is pronounced like "Jeff" 😉💜Keep it up!

Queensryche is such an underrated band but it's 5 great musicians working in sync with each other...at least in their first 6 albums. Jet city woman or eyes of a stranger 🤔.....something softer and beautiful I will remember ❤ unplugged live 🔥

This song was nominated for 2 Grammy’s in 1992 for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.

...captivating...it is "captivating" watching you enjoy this song...you are delightful Aaliyah

I'm glad people are steering you to great rock songs and groups. I think this is a really good composition, coming back to the opening theme in the middle and at the end, and an effective use of a string ensemble. The cellos, violins, violas, and the acoustic guitar at the end are just wonderful.

Loved Queensryche when I was in high school. Great song and I learned to play it on guitar. Beautiful. Would love, love, to see your reaction to Portishead, specifically, "Portishead Glory Box Live At Roseland NY ( Best Audio)". That band (Portishead) were so popular and made amazing music and that live recording was from 1998. I learned recently the lead singer Beth Gibbons performed Symphony No. 3 by Henryk Górecki a few years ago. That is one of my favorites (Gorecki).

Another song that really exemplies Geoff's voice is Roads to Madness from the album "The Warning". Sadly, not many people have reacted to it even though it is one of the best male vocal performances ever. I definitely recommend it! I've seen Tate with his own band live in concert as well as Queensryche multiple times over the past few years.

Reaction recommendation: Queensryche “Suite Sister Mary” from Operation Livecrime. It’s got a background choir and a duet. I’d love to know what you think!

Michael Kamen composed the arrangements for this song ..and they are perfect!!!!! is pure perfection

Their version of “Scarborough Faire” really runs through his complete vocal capability in one song.

Love Queensryche ... Geoff Tate .. back in the day probably could have song opera.

Most of the metal/hard rock bands from the '80s to mid '90s were very good at both high energy and ballads.

You really did a great job with this reaction. Your commentary was insightful and interesting.

When he says "walls come tumbling down" the music "tumbles down" also. Might be my favorite part.

Great song. Actually a very powerful song musically and vocally.

Great reaction. Hope you continue your journey into Queensryche. Plenty of hits to consider.

I enjoyed it. 👏 🙏 Let me know if you do their song called Empire. 😊

geoff tate's range back in the day was mad crazy

Almost every reactor I've seen react to this loves it

Love this band along with Journey. Steve Perry another great voice

Take a listen to their album, "Operation Mindcrime," it has a lot of great songs that highlight Geoff Tate's voice. Eyes of a Stranger and I Don't Believe In Love, are two my favorites.

Queen of the reich live, queen of the reich live Queen of the reich live

Challenge for everyone. I heard this before the radio did. I've met them. They used to be my favorite group. The challenge is, listen to this again, hear everything, but pay extra special attention to the strings, especially during the instrument break. If you don't feel the build up, feel the strength, and shed some tears at the peak, your not human. I'm 52 and still do

one of the most beautiful rock ballads ever sung

You would very much enjoy the MTV unplugged session they did. Pick any song from that. I recommend "I Will Remember" or "Killing Words" really is a must listen.

Operation Mindcrime is a rock opera listen to it start to finish, it was,is genius

And yes, indeed, here is one of the best and most beautiful power ballads of all time, in my view and for many other music fans. You definitely picked up on just what a well-composed song it is- all of the varied instrumentation and arrangements. And Geoff is very much singing lower and more restrained, but of course that fits the song. I felt pretty sure you would enjoy and like it. Given how incredible it is, it’s so easy to be moved by its overall beauty.

Amazing divergence from heavy metal genre.

Thank you for the video. I also suggest "Eyes of A Stranger" by them; Geoff's vocals in that song are so expressive. Such a great band!

It`s a song about ASTRO TRAVELING,Just remember (NOTHING CAN HURT YOU ) When you`r Traveling through the COSMOSE if you can wake up within your DREAM You will have DREAM CONTROL !!!

Queensryche was never a favorite of mine , solely based on personal preference . I respect their talent and I do like this song quite a bit. There is an actual lullabye called the Wolf Lullaby or something close to that sung in a Norse language that is extremely beautiful though I don't understand a word of it. Anyway much luck and continued success to you.

This is one of my all time favorite songs. I understand how you could feel like listening to it before you go to sleep. This came out when I was about 14 and I could only afford the single (cassette, haha) on the money from my after-school job, but that is exactly what I would do-I’d lay in bed and listen to it over and over on my Walkman. Eventually I listened to it so much the actual tape part of the cassette got worn out and snapped. I’m glad you liked it!

Jet City Women is a MUST ! If you love this song ?

OPERATION LIVECRIME: - [ ] I saw Queensryche on this tour! I play drums and Scott Rockingfield is one of my favorite drummers of all time! I even got my double bass TAMAS and Zildjian cymbals in the same configuration and I have chains ⛓ stands to hang my cymbals!

Thank you Aaliyah for the wonderful reaction to this beautiful song, and for allowing me to hang out on your channel for a few minutes! I always feel smarter after enjoying your reactions. No hurry to get to them or anything, but I would love to one day see your reaction to these songs live: "White Queen" by Queen from the Odeon Hammersmith, "Dog and Butterfly" by Heart, "That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be" by Carly Simon from 1971, and "Cheerleader" by Walk Off The Earth! Take care and keep up the great work on your channel!

QUEENSRYCHE: SILENT LUCIDITY: What I love about true artists is that you can’t fit them into one clear box. I love when people discover that the same group that brought you Into the Eyes of a Stranger also can switch it up entirely and level you with Silent Lucidity. That’s the power and palette of an incredible artist such as Queensryche and the vocal performance of Geoff Tate in particular! Enjoy!

Sweet reaction. Another thing about this song is the timing in dynamics, when he sings the lyrics "come tumbling down and a new world will begin" the drummer adds a drum fill descending from high to low mimicking something collapsing, perhaps relative to the walls in the fore mentioned line "the walls you built within".

Nice to see a young woman being sensible and passionate about music. No tidepods, no self destruction. No politics. Now try a song called hunger strike

OK, so I'm guessing you haven't ever listened to merciful fate or it's singer King diamond. "As a vocalist, he is known for his powerful and wide-ranging countertenor singing voice, in particular his far-reaching falsetto screams." He is the most unique voice you will hear.

Although you will not find another voice as good as Geoff Tate, Have you listened it to Skid Row yet? Sebastian Bach also has an amazing voice. And he was pretty easy on the eyes as well.. Oh and also! Janie Layne of Warrant. "Uncle toms cabin" is fun! And ""I saw red" is beautiful.

You are very very good at this reacting thing. Thanks for that.

Thank you so much for reacting to this song.

I love your reactions to all the various rock songs, most of which I've been fortunate to see live over the (many) years - including Queensryche who are superb live, especialy Operation Mindcrime live. However I would love to hear your take on the Pearl Fishers Duet - Jussi Björling and Robert Merrill - can you listen to this without shedding a tear?

Aaliyah Capili, Gracias por tu respuesta a el. saludo que te envíe me gusta mucho tu voz y las reacciones , no me has complacido con la petición de la orquesta sinfónica de Londres, y Deep Pepour se que te va a gustar mucho gracias, linda eres una hermosa cantante de ópera me gusta tu voz, y como te dije tu rostro irradia mucha luz, y tus ojos que son la ventana de tu alma,y tu rostro un libro abierto, con una expansión emocional hacia la música y no dudó que ala naturaleza ,y. La belleza de la vida un abrazo y Dios te bendiga y te cuide que sus ángeles te acompañen donde quiera que vallas, Fernando Rangel de México, me gustaría que rraccionaras a México. Gracias nuevamente Aaliyah. Bay.

Perfection

aaliyah this Isyana Sarasvati - Frühlingsstimmen - Walzer, Op. 410 - Johann Strauss II opera sing try to hear how to react she sing opera i hope you like it

The Bellevue Boys (early local nickname). Somehow, luckily I got to hear them a little bit before their first album because they lived in the same city as me when I was a kid. I think it was seventh or eight grade.

Please rename your channel to Teen Girl Proves Other RU-vid Reactors Suck And Then Proceeds To Teach A Class On Properly Reacting.

Ha! If you think "Take Hold of the Flame" was high energy, you should hear "Queen of the Reich." His belts in that are higher than the one on Grandpa's pants!

You need to hear Heart & Jason Bonham perform "Stairway to Heaven" from the Kennedy Center Honors. It's is THE best live performance I have ever heard.

Savatage-when the crowds are gone. Phenomenal group. CO founders of trans Siberian orchestra

I saw them perform this song as their final encore in 1991. It is the single most beautiful song I've seen performed live. I also used to sing this to my daughter when she was a baby to help put her to sleep. It always takes me back to that time when I see someone hearing this for the first time. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

Oh my gosh, you need to do Eyes of a Stranger, what are you waiting for. Great reaction to silent Lucidity though

I have just recently discovered your channel and I love it! Being a rock and metal guy who lived through the release of all these great songs, it warms my heart to see a young person loving this music! I LOVE watching your reactions to these songs-seeing you swaying in your chair, bopping your head to the beat. Well done young lady 🙂🙌🏻

React to Leonid & Friends. Please. Most incredible band I’ve heard in over 20 years!

Live version of the lady wore black is a good one also

React band Shaman Fairy Tale - Live in São Paulo 2002. Andre Matos

The song is about a father comforting his child who wakes up from a bad dream about someone the child loves passing away. The father then teaches the child about lucid dreaming.

You look awsome god bless you

This is an amazing song. The 1st 4 or 5 Queensryche albums are fantastic

Loved the wind playing with that strand of your hair, Aaliyah. 😉😉 Guess this time of the year you already need the fans on were you live. 🥵😘😘 Not far behind here in Portugal. 😁 There are many pairings of fast/slow songs one could do, because metal really do have the dynamic range for it. 🤘🤘 Angra Carry On/Time Eluveitie (Helvetie) Rebirth/Call of the Mountains Helloween Eagle Fly Free/Forever and One Manowar Kingdom Come/Master of the Wind Blind Guardian Valhalla/The Bard's Song (in the forest) Rhapsody of Fire Dawn of Victory/Magic of the Wizard's Dream

Take a listen to queensryche take hold of the flame. Tate's vocal range is amazing

The late great Michael Kaman did the magnificent string arrangements on this song which also makes it so great. If you listen at the end you will hear a little snippet of Brahms Lullaby

Geoff Tate (vocals) of Queensryche recorded his best vocal performances between 1983 and 1999... 'Silent lucidity' was their big hit single from their 1990 album 'Empire'... Another ballad from the record w/ Tate's powerful vocals was 'Anybody listening?' (full audio version). Former Queensryche guitarist/ songwriter Chris DeGarmo wrote 'Silent lucidity' about dreams to his young daughter... They had an orchestra on the track, conducted by (the late) classical composer Michael Kamen, who would later work w/ Metallica on their single 'Nothing else matters' in 1991 and conducted their 1999 'S&M' live performance w/ a full classical symphony orchestra. Another ballad on which Queensryche added orchestral strings was the 1993 song 'Real world' (for a movie soundtrack). Although established in the 80's as a hard rock/ heavy metal band... Queensryche opted to progress their music in the 90's... their 1994 album 'Promised Land' was a mostly acoustic record ... w/ Geoff Tate singing his most heartbreaking songs ('Promised land'... 'Bridge'... 'Someone else'... 'Lady Jane'...)

You could react the song "é isso ai - ana Carolina e seu jorge". The live performance . .

I thought this was a Pink Floyd song until I saw the video on MTV.

I might Have commented on another of your videos to Check these guys out😂

I have a sleep mix that I haven't really changed or added to in over a decade. This is one of the songs on there. :) It is a favorite to be sure.

You should listen to Eyes of a Stranger Jeff Tate great vocals

An amazing song by an amazing band. Geoff' s vocals are great on this song. You are always dressed to the T and look great young lady but I'm still holding out for some metal band Tshirts. Lol!

Good ears!!

Great track, their biggest FM hit though much more chill than much of what they produced with the original lineup in the 80s & 90s. They were equal measures hard rock, prog and metal and were one of the most impressive and polished bands of that genre. Their Masterpiece is Operation Mindcrime, a concept album that should be heard in a single sitting, it is up their with Pink Floyd and the WHO for great, Ikonic concept albums. For another stand alone epic, try On the Roads to Madness from their great debut album, Warning. Another fine album is Empire, try Jet City Woman, a hit and a banger for sure. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶

Hi friend!

listen to steve perry sing ANYTHING - he was the lead singer for journey.

"Faithfully" by Journey.

This song is definitely a masterpiece.. It's music... Not the BS that sounds all around us now.

So glad you've heard of them

Amo i tuoi video! Aaliyah sei meravigliosa, davvero splendida! 🫶

Te envió un saludo desde México Fernando Rangel .Muchas Bendiciones.

Great break down of the song Asliyah. This is one of my favorite ballads from a rock/metal band. If you like this one I'd strongly recommend these: Iron Maiden - Strange World (lyric video) Testament - Return to Serenity (full 6:36 min version) Death Angel - A Room with a View (4:20 min version)

When I feel like a cry, I sometimes go here 😎

One of my favorites! What a beautiful song ♥

That's music to your ears so soothing man very cool song and is beautiful keep rocking

I'd love to see her reaction to the whole "Operation: Mindcrime" album (the first one, obviously). That might be a bit much to hope for, that's a deep dive few reactors are up to. But there's another dimension to this band with their prog-rock theme albums which she hasn't really gotten into yet. It's a true modern Opera.

❤❤❤ you are so intuitive

Great reaction and insight as usual follow the dream

Awesome thanks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⚡✨

You are an amazing person ❤

One of the best song of the 80's, jeff posseses a powerful voice..

*I always think of Pink Floyd with this song.*

Geoff, pronounced Jeff...Love seeing your reaction to Mr. Tate...One of the best. Saw Queensryche in Vancouver BC, many moons ago, promoting Operation Mindcrime. Wicked concert. A reaction to Operation Livecrime, the live version of the album would be spectacular. You won't believe how fantastic his vocals are, live.

She is sssssssoooooo Beautiful inside and out.

I don’t believe in love by Queensryche One of my favorite song

Wonderful

Masterpiece

One song I would really suggest you check out, is Heart’s version of Stairway To Heaven, which is done live, at the Kennedy Center Honors, honoring Led Zeppelin. Heart is comprised of two sisters, Ann and Nancy Wilson. Ann is considered to be probably the best female rock singer ever. Their version is so good, at one point, Robert Plant (the singer of Led Zeppelin) begins to cry. It should not be missed.
