Another Patreon Choice! I asked our Patrons to choose a winter song for this snowy season, and Within Temptation's "Ice Queen" dominated the poll! I was simply impressed by Sharon den Adel's crisp vocals on one of Within Temptation's most popular songs of all time. This is an amazing ride!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Within Temptation for the very first time, performing "Ice Queen” live.

Her voice live is unreal, it's so clean, it goes right through you. Also her charisma is unmatched, crowd goes wild in some songs, in others there's dead scilence. I went to the concert, because my wife is a huge fan and since then I'm a fan too. I have chills everytime I hear "The Promise" or "The heart of everything"

2021 has been quite the year for Elizabeth. She discovered Dio and Deathcore, transformed into a unicorn, and got down with the (morning) sickness, among other things. With all that going on, this frostbitten gem was always lying just out of reach, but no more! I would have preferred the music video with it's gloriously cheesy early 2000's effects, but WT is a great live band, and Ice Queen is there penultimate anthem. Would love to see a reaction to And We Run, as it is a fascinating blend of styles. Interestingly, there is nothing "icy" about Sharon. Everything about her, from her appearance to her voice radiates a lovely, smiley warmth. Reminds me of someone . . .

@crhu319 2 года назад

Sharon is not just the vocalist, she has as much control of the music as Lzzy Hale does. As a composer and lyricist she is top notch, and that makes her THE Empress. Her vocals may not range too far off soprano but her phrasing is very powerful and sincere, Patsy Cline level. And this is a style of music Elizabeth zharoff and her inevitable Charismatica could do with current skills. Not to ship that too much, could decide to go all Angela Gossow on us too lol.

@Daniel-dj1tf 2 года назад

Finally, Within Temptation was the band that introduced me to this genre, and later I found out about the Gathering, Epica and ofc Nightwish. Sharon is with ease one of my favourite all time female vocalists.

@darkestlost 2 года назад

Now i really want to see you covering her Mother Earth, the song which make me know the band and still is my favorite. And i just didn't know until this day that Ice Queen talk about nature. In the true, most of power metal songs of this time from Scandinavia talks about the nature and how much we have to care about it. Just pick Stratovarius songs like Anthem of the world, Paradise, and so much more. Even today is a currently theme in the metal of this genre.

Hi Elizabeth, it's been over a year since your last reaction to Within Temptation, and I'm glad you're reacting to another song/video. Sharon's vocal performance was outstanding as well as the band/orchestra. Overall, this was a great song for the winter season. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙

One of my fav rendition of this song. too pure, too (at least seemingly) relaxed and easy, too perfect in note and pitch, and its variances, that I don't know a better unchained melody can be sung anytime soon. It's like he is doing something as simple as just talking to you but this heart felt beautiful melody comes out. The relaxed and sincere love just fills the atmosphere and reflected on his face the whole time. I don't know which part he could have done better.

I have already been following a bond for quite some time now. I truly believe that the singer of the band is a pearl gone unnoticed. The band is called black briar. Her voice is just enchanting. I always wanted to know how well she could sing from a vocal coach perspective. The band is "blackbriar". The songs I would recommend are "through the crevice", "liillith be gone" and "beautiful delirium". Some songs have acoustic versions which are just as amazing as the rest. (Coincidentally also a duch singer)

Nature and life have been a big part of the Within Temptation sound for a long time. The album this track came from is called Mother Earth and features plenty of other themes around this. A fewbyesrs later they did a duo track with Tarja Turanen the former Nightwish vocalist to carry on the coat of arms of the 2 OG's of female metal singers.

@RoseForEverafter Год назад

Shimmery is such a good word for her high notes! She really is an angel-in personality as well! And I love how much FUN the whole band always seems to be having on stage, especially when they get to dress up like this 😂 she’s great at engaging the crowd too She and Floor remind me a lot of each other in terms of their vocal tones. Like, they both have quite “neutral” voices. Warm but still very clear and light, where they can pretty easily choose to use both brighter and darker tone effects on different parts. They’ve also both got those high mixed belts on LOCK. I know it’s been a while since you’ve checked out WT, but if you’re ever interested in doing more, Sharon actually did a song with Nightwish’s first singer Tarja! It would be great to hear what you think of them singing together considering Tarja’s heavily operatic style is SO different to Sharon’s natural one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ysP8N1ZlUDY.html

I have to recommend a second time band Gathering (with singer Anneke van Giersbergen who already were in another video here with Sharon den Adel). It would be sad not hearing the band and the singerin here after all the nightwish and within temptation songs. Travel is their Magnum Opus in my mind but meaby the greatest vocal performance from Anneke is from Waking Hour song. Both from the TG25: Live at Doornroosje

Love your channel and reviews. Your technical information is so appreciated by this 63 year old. Since you seem to enjoy following the journey and growth in singers I’d love to suggest Jonathan Antoine. He first appeared to the world on Britains Got Talent with his friend Charlotte and disparaging remarks from Simon and the crowd because he is overweight… until he opened his mouth. At 17 he has the voice of Pavarotti. Jonathan and his friend Charlotte recorded together for a few years and then he moved on solo as a tenor. The change in one person cannot be more striking as he went from an extremely shy, somewhat broken 17 year old to the funny confident adult Jonathan now in concert and on RU-vid. His Italian is beautiful and his Godfather theme became my new favourite rendition. I hope you will enjoy his journey as much as I have. There is so much inspiration for teens and adults in what he has achieved. I only wish more people might see him and know that weight and beauty alone does not equal talent but comes in all sizes, shapes, ages and looks.
