Vocal Coach REACTS to DIO- BLACK SABBATH- HEAVEN AND HELL (LIVE) 

Dio got his diaphragmatic breathing technique from when he had to hold his breath crossing the mystical lagoon to slay the evil wizard

Dio doesn't sing, he just rides a dragon to the concert and then talks about his day.

He is no Mercury. Or Sinatra. He is the one & only... The legendary.... Ronnie James Dio...

No, you heard a little bit of Ronnie James Dio in Freddie Mercury:)

You don’t need to compare him to Freddy Mercury or Frank Sinatra to complement him. He stands alone. He is Ronnie James Dio!

Tiny body, big voice, bigger heart 🤘🏻🤘🏻 RIP Ronnie James Dio

Ritchie Blackmore said he felt chills down his spine the first time he heard Ronnie James Dio sing, and this was coming from a man who was previously in a band with Ian Gillan as the lead vocalist.

5'4 and sang about rainbows More metal than any of us could ever hope to be. RJD is a titan!

Dio was the big voice in a tiny body. He’s deeply missed.

today is the aniversary of his loss May 16, 2010. R.I.P. Ronnie we miss you

Dio had POWER. He'd command the stage like a general. That little man not only had a huge voice, he had the PRESENCE to tell a STORY. RIP to an icon and the father of power metal.

After Black Sabbath fired Ozzy, he was so upset when he heard and saw Ronnie he said "they've replaced me with a midget" Ronnie responded to him and said "I'm not a midget ,the correct term is a dwarf" lol

RJD performed with stomach cancer until his death, now THAT’S metal!!! 🙏🏼🤘🏽

You should check out “Rainbow in the Dark,” “Holy Diver,” “The Last in Line,” and “Stand Up and Shout.” They’re all great Dio tracks.

The world is full of kings and queens that blind your eyes and steal your dreams. It's heaven and hell. And the world is a little less interesting without you Mr Dio. RIP my Man!

Freddie and Frank were mere mortals. Ronnie was the Man on The Silver Mountain.

You are listening to the greatest front man in metal honey :)

I saw Ronnie James Dio in concert in 2007 when I was 12. I didn't fully appreciate what I was watching but am so thankful that I was able to see him before his passing and still hold those memories.

The man of the silver Mountain. Slayer of the wizard. Killer of the dragon. An entity nothing of this world can duplicate

I'm tearing up watching this. DIO was a legend among us.

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio, father of metal!

I always LOVE this lady's reviews. What I take for granted she inspects and pulls apart and explains WHY the voices from my youth were so powerful and magnificent... Her amazement kind of takes me back in a charming way.... Thank you Rebecca. :) FYI I didn't give a sh*t how/why RJD could perform the way that he did I just enjoyed it. ;)

Dio was a very small man with a GIANT voice!!

Why did Ronnie James Dio have to die? Because God wanted his voice back.

Dio didn't just perform. He told a story with his music. An amazing singer always sings with emotion and that is exactly what he did. There will never be another like him. He was one of a kind.

I know you love Freddie, but dio is in a class by himself

Dio....an absolute metal legend. Solo, with Black Sabbath....doesn't matter...distinct and legendary.

the whole album Heaven and Hell is a masterclass in rock/metal vocals

In this clip Ronnie was 44 and had already been singing professionally for over 25 years. And he was still killing it live in 2009 at age 66, one year before he passed. The dude knew how to take care of his voice, had a long and varied career, and his music will live forever. Thank you, Dio! \m/

Even "Frank Sinatra of Rock" is an understatement for Ronnie James Dio.

Dio never sang this song the same way twice in concert. It made it fun and interesting for him and the audience. Some versions of this are 12 minutes long with tons of audience participation.

His father used to make him practice the trumpet every day for hours on end when he was a child. This is the reason the great man gave himself for his outstanding breath control for his singing

Dio was well known for never training his voice and always giving his fans his time, he said "For every fan they will remember meeting me for the rest of there lives" but he was extremely humble about it which is why he always made sure to sign every autograph and talk to every fan that was waiting to meet him after the shows. #RIP🤘DIO

I spent much of this video looking for my 16 year old self. I was at this show (Philly) somewhere about 20 rows back. Great show and even better reaction video. Thanks for the smile and bringing back fond memories....

Glad I could see him live at least once. May he rest in piece, whether in heaven or hell, he is one of the best vocalist in music history.

I met him back stage once and asked him to sign my t-shirt with his favorite verse. He wrote the first letter of each word to the verse. It was late and I was still a bit excited by the entire experience. Once I figured out what he wrote: The world is full of kings and queens, who blind your eyes and steal your dreams, it's Heaven and Hell.

We all knew you'd love Dio . You gotta do some Rob Halford now. Victim of Changes - Live at US festival

Truly one of the nicest person you could’ve met. I have the honor of calling this man a friend. He is truly missed. RIP, My friend. 😢

I'm so in love with your reactions and so in love with your subtle comedic readings of these songs. I must admit that I have to often go back and listen to your accent rendering of Sinead.

He is Ronnie James Dio. You don’t need to compare him to anyone. He is the father of Heavy Metal.

The world is full of kings and queens that blind your eyes and steal your dreams...it's heaven and hell. We miss you Ronnie. PS, You knew when a 5'4" guy shows up covered in spandex, leather and metal studs some shit is about to go down.

Stunning!! Totally Fascinated By Not Only Your Take On The Voices That You Are Reacting To, But, Lost In Your Expressions And Responses To What You Are Hearing And Singing!! You're A Doll, Breathtakingly Beautiful... Ugh Just Too Much!!! Just Saying Have A Great Day!!

Rebecca: i give him an A Dio: seriously?

Bruce Dickinson, RJD, and Rob Halford , The voices of pure Metal

Should listen to his own solo band DIO - "Holy Diver"

His voice gives me chills that I can feel with my soul.

The most powerful voice from the smallest man in rock who was a giant among his peers

He has the most powerful voice to ever come out of a 5' 4" frame.

The guy was 5'2 with that voice. Crazy

I was lucky enough that I got to see Dio when I was in my late teens. Great concert and an even better performer. RIP

Eargasmic - best description I've ever heard of Ronnie's amazing voice!

5 foot tall with a 100 foot voice. RIP Ronnie James Dio.

DIO NEVER acted, he believed in ever lyric and every note. We miss him dearly!

the man is really missed. one of THE best voices in metal. glad i got to see him once before he died.

Best Rock Singer ever lived, no doubt about it. Rest in Piece Ronnie

'im interested in what he can do with his vioce" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats ronny james dio babe get ready

I've said this for a while... Dio pronounces EVERY SINGLE LETTER of each word he sings

Best voice metal ever !! And great reaction as always!!

You are gorgeous, and, always brings a tear to my eye, when I see how you love these singers, such as RJD! He was an incredible musician!!

“He’s like a gymnast” Me: who’s Jim Nast?

Dio, yes! Try "Don't talk to strangers" live version

Yeah, you've got my subscription ;) I am waiting for more from Dio reactions :)

I adore all of your reactions to 80s' metal, I consider them priceless. :) Dio was one of a kind, the world is a darker place without his voice. It is really nice to see a younger woman, trained in the arts and without prior knowledge of these folks/this genre to show as much respect and recognition of their talents. :) Thank you suga, please keep your reactions coming.

I cannot believe you said "the Frank Sinatra of rock" as your own spontaneous observation! He has been called exactly that countless times! HA! Uncanny. Love ya

My 3 favorite metal singers of all time - Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, and Bruce Dickinson.

You are in fact a pro and I enjoy your empathy emotions are like waves and you are a rider and you wear it so eloquently thank you for your perspective

Rainbow-Stargazer The Best Ronnie James Dio

What I really like about Rebecca is that she appreciates all singing for what it is from Billie Eilish to Ronnie James Dio and shows no overt bias toward one genre or another.

Ronnie originally wrote and performed this with Sabbath. Fun fact, he's widely credited with originating the devil horns gesture in metal. Apparently it comes from his grandmother and is an old traditional gesture to ward off the evil eye, or conversely to give someone the evil eye, presumably it depends on your mood, lol. Another great Dio performance you might want to check out is Rainbow - Kill the King Live in Munich 1977.

I hope you have recovered! You’re the best!

You have a new subscriber :) Love your videos!

My cousin brought me to a Dio concert in 1984. I knew absolutely nothing about him before hand. His voice blew my mind. The second song was "Don't Talk to Strangers" - I was stunned.

This made me cry for two reasons. I miss his voice. And I miss my friend who always stayed and took the time to talked with me even if others tried to drag him away. We first met in 92' when I was 6 .

RIP Ronnie There will never be another person that will influence the metal world as much as he did. I always get tears in my eyes listening to his music.

This is back in the day when we painted bedsheets to bring to the concerts in the hopes the band would see and acknowledge.

You're mistaken, you hear Dio in Freddie. Not the other way.

Please listen to stargazer by rainbow, one of Ronnie's finest vocal performances

OMG...I love your vocal comments!!! We would have such a great time together picking apart so many songs...I feel like you're here with me rockin!!!...thanx for the good times!!!

I like watching your reactions because you actually get it. You notice all the dynamics, and you seem to feel the heartbeat of the song and bands vision. Your able to have an open mind and i think your reactions are cool. pretty easy on the eyes too.

6 months before he died of stomach cancer he pulled a full Black Sabbath ( Heaven and Hell ) album out, where he sang like he never was ill... The Album is The Devil You Know, absolutely a one to listen..

DIO IS A GOD!!!!

just brilliant, so glad you liked his voice! RIP RJD!

It doesn't matter how many times I can watch the same Dio vids. I'm blown away by his vocals like it's the first time I've ever heard him.

I miss the early 80's some many great performers. It was a great time to be a teenager. Dio, Ozzy, Priest, Maiden and, many more.

If you want the full spectrum of Dio, listen to “falling off the edge of the world” He does everything.

With his unique voice and hypnotized with so many emotions and his unique kind and inspiration, he had the people who loved and loved him deeply and always left you with a laughing and a crying eye and no matter what the self-taught critics and posers may claim. ..Ronnie James Dio was and is the only and true master and king of heavy metal now and for all times he inspired me as a child to make music and to sing even whoever is steep and rocky to go on and believe in me DIO saved my life in the darkest times of my life and I will be a great admirer and fan of his music for as long as I live. He has left this to us all and will always be with us for everyone to party and never feel left alone in the dark we are all rainbows in the dark .... thanks Ronnie James Dio RIP

Becks...Thant’s goddam Dio. You are beautiful and dapper and dandy, but that man is the very lion that roared metal into life. His grain, temper, and register are always on display..the man was a walking theater. Always gracious to his enormous fan base, his legendary appeal is completely earned. So few men or ladies of majesty have graced the stage and your comparison to Freddy Mercury was spot on.

My Heavy metal coach Rebecca!!!!! I wanna see Judas Priest We are having a heavy metal journey here and we are in for a ride with the Maiden bois and the Heavy Metal God himself DIO Edit: I hope Coach Rebecca grants our request, All J.Priest songs are awesome, these guys under me are suggesting very good stuff!! keep em coming!

I'm so glad you got to Dio. In my opinion, Ronnie James Dio is the best voice metal has ever heard. And like you said, it's not just the voice, but the whole performer. He knew exactly how to tell the story, and involve his audience in it. Such a great performer! He is missed!

Love your channel

Ronnie has always been my favorite metal vocalist right alongside Chuck Schuldiner, his lyricism, stage presence, character, energy, and vocal scope have always brought a tear to my eye anytime I watch him perform. I wish I would've had the chance to see him live, but luckily there's enough content to feel that way.

Rebecca. You need to hear Ronnie do this with Black Sabbath. It's a little bit different. I love DIO but he did this with Black Sabbath first. There is a live version with Black Sabbath. Worth checking out and reacting to. And he was a small-statured person but a huge voice for one so small. And he loved his fans. He always put on a great show and connected with his audience. I got to meet him once. Saw him in concert several times. But met him in person once. Fascinating man. Had a nice chat with him. And you missed the last half of the song. It changes tempo and picks up speed. And ends on an up note. Sort of. Very dramatic end which you missed completely. You missed all of that. Like you literally missed half the song...the best half. Some of the best lyrics in the song come at the end of the song. How could you miss all of that? "They say that life's A carousel Spinning fast you Better ride it well The world is full Of kings and queens Who blind your eyes And steal your dreams It's Heaven and Hell. And they tell you Black is really white The moon is just The sun at night And when you walk In golden halls You get to keep The gold that falls It's Heaven and Hell. Fool fool You got to bleed For the dancer Fool fool Look for the answer." You literally missed ALL OF THAT. Not mad, just that you missed some of Ronnie's best vocals in that song. Now. Having said all that? Want to have your mind really blown by what an amazing singer Ronnie was? Find Rainbow's Long Live Rock and Roll album. It's here on RU-vid. Actually, every song on that album kicks serious ass but there is one I really think you need to hear. It's a soft, quiet, gentle, sad ballad with Ronnie singing, Ritchie Blackmore playing this gorgeous, beautiful guitar, and this wood flute or recorder just weaving in and out that gives the song this haunting, ethereal beauty. The song is called "Rainbow Eyes" and you might want tissues, it is so heartbreakingly sad and beautiful. I love it. Unlike anything he had done before or since. And Ronnie absolutely sang his heart out. 180° opposite of this. And for a man who claimed he never wrote a love song? If "Rainbow Eyes" is NOT a love song? I don't know what is. Amazing. Check it out. Thank me later.☺

Hello Rebecca: Ronnie James Dio was one of the greatest Rock singers of our time. RIP, Ronnie! With massive influence on many others, today. One "funny?" thing about him: I've, in decades, never found anyone to speak bad about the personality he was. Ever. (Shines a light, doesen't it?) One thing I'd like you to react on would be "Stargazer", when he was singing with Rainbow. Another thing, and this is for you: Roger Glover, the bassist of Deep Purple, made a musical for children in the early 7ties: "The butterfly ball and grasshoppers feast". And RJD sings there as the frog: "Love is all". I think this will be, in contrast to above song, really warm your heart: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NXnkJkw_sFE.html You must be pretty new into rock, for not knowing him. But that's O.K. Maybe I can hit you with more surprises. It would be my pleasure. Greetings from the far north of Germany!

Love it when you smile at the screen.

I listened to a podcast of his widow recently and she said he never lost his voice up until his passing and that helped him not he so depressed about dying.

Ronnie James Dio was two feet tall and had more power than any man will ever have. Ronnie James Dio was Yoda.

She's thinking, damn modern artists are not like this anymore. Rip dio metal legend

1 OF THE GREATEST VOCALISTS, ALONG WITH MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN, ROB HALFORD AND FREDDIE

Watching you and hearing you enjoy some of my favourite artists - Dio, Maiden, Zeppelin, Avenged - feels incredibly voyeuristic in some way. It feels incredibly intimate and personal how raw your reactions are and your enthusiasm is insanely sensual. I found your channel today and couldn't help bing for a few hours. I hope I managed to make this sound as un-creepy as possible. For what it's worth, the sentiment wasn't. Thank you for sharing these with us.

If you want more Dio, listen to Stargazer by Rainbow. It's another band of his that's equally amazing
