Young Opera Singer Reacts To Kamelot - Elizabeth 

Roy Khan is one of the best metal singers ever, IMHO. Great to see you got to finally hear him and hope you listen to more!!

:D Roy studied opera, so he does not only have the singing part on point, he also has the acting part, they way he portrays every emotion is unmatched.

Roy Khan is legend. This whole live DVD is spectacular. This and his performance of Memento Mori in Belgrade are some of my all-time favourite live performances.

The moment when Roy goes full belt at the end of the 2nd verse is one of my all time favorite vocal geek moments/needle drops, up there with the E5 Geoff Tate does in a similar spot of Take Hold of the Flame.

At last someone do KAMELOT reaction. Welcome to symphonic metal again this gener is not only female vocals. KAMELOT is awsome no mater witch vocalist sings. They do many futerings. Next time : Lair, Lair. Under Grey Sky. Karma. Center of The Universe. Sacrimony. Forever. And many many more. Metal greatings from Poland 🤘

Roy Khan from that period was something really special. Great band. Thomas Youngblood (guitarist and composer of all songs) is a genius. If you want to hear how the band sounds these days check out their Sacrimony (Official Live Video) with Alissa White-Gluz and Elize Ryd. its FANTASTIC. Tommy Karevik is a great vocalist too

How much I love this song and singing! The whole Album Karma is an unrepeatable work. A Masterpiece. One of the best in Metal !! Thank you, sweet Aaliyah, for your heartfelt and precious reaction! (If I may suggest... make sure your listening proposals are just like this: of high quality, rare and precious. Less is more.) Love, beauty and Light from Italy. Giovanni

Glad you enjoyed Kamelot and Khan's amazing voice. If you want a song that shows off more of his lower tones check out their song "The Great Pandemonium". One of my all time favorite songs. I also highly recommend you check out the bend Sonata Arctica, specifically their song "Everything Fades to Grey". It's a song with amazing storytelling and really shows off his vocals.

This was one of my favorite live video performances ever for many long years. Surpassed by.... well, there's the modern Kamelot with Tommy Karevik doing the extended live version of 'Forever'. I did get to see Kamelot live in October 2019, after being a fan since 2002, and I recently bought tickets to see them again this coming May. I sang myself hoarse the first time I saw them.

Roy khan videos are truly study material for everybody interested in music vocals. He has so many colors to paint a picture (song). Also, I really enjoyed your reaction, thank you very much ! Pd: abandoned is another song from them same concert that has similar qualities to this one but much shorter.

Roy Khan is IMO one of the best 5 metal singers EVER. I don't know a single other singer who can transmit emotions as well as he can. Their whole album Karma (which this song is of) is an absolute musical masterclass in every way. Every song is unique and a 10/10. The title track Karma was even used by the japanese synchron swimming team during the olympics. I highly recommend you listen to the full album. He sings even better on record.

There have been a number of powerhouse, brilliant, unique vocalists on the Rock and Metal scene, some of those voices are instantly recognizable as no one else but themselves... and yet probably none so exquisite, at least today, as Roy Khan. His silky smooth tones mixed with leathery power, insane range and panther-like rasps all as the role requires are just him, in his own league. The current singer for KAMELOT, the Swede Tommy Karevik is extremely versatile (you ought to get acquainted with his original group, SEVENTH WONDER - try "Tiara's Song", for example), he is in control and actually a pot of gold for the band, for he can sound, in the right places, almost as the perfect replica of Roy. Except that makes us long for Roy's suave darkness even more. You are right about Roy Khan being a true singer-actor, inhabiting any of his songs. In this, I could compare him to Freddie Mercury, or perhaps even Maria Callas. Heck, Roy even hurt his vocal folds like Callas (and others who used to give themselves and go too hard) did before. He took an almost 10 year sabbatical from singing to recover, and just recently has thankfully returned to the thing that he loves - singing with his youth band, CONCEPTION, and accepting guest appearances. Ha had been missed! The song trilogy in question, "Elizabeth", is one of the pinnacles in KAMELOT's art. I get increasingly more chills perceiving how it goes from melodic balladry and triumphant notes to ever greater level of intensity, following a wretched mind of the infamous countess Elizabeth Batory towards damnation. Good choice taking it in with lyrics! The concert during which this was recorded, "One Cold Winter's Night" in Oslo, 2006, stands as one of the best overall collective achievements in the field of Live show recordings this side of full opera / theater productions. :) (To rival it, perhaps "Retrospect 10th Anniversary" show from EPICA, if you have not checked that out, featuring full orchestra and choir - well, you should. Moreso that EPICA and KAMELOT are musical kin in more than one way. The theatrical intensity is sure a connecting factor!) Please return to KAMELOT more often! Of the current show, I would heartily recommend experiencing songs like "Center of the Universe", "The Haunting" (feat. Simone Simons), "Abandoned", or "Forever" - it will be fun to see you recognize the homage to Roy Khan's certain compatriot who we know from the Classics. :)))

One of the best metal bands ever.

Part 2 was the most difficult for my ears to digest the first time. But it became my fav part pretty fast. It really does get better with each play. Spot on about sing acting. Roy is so animated. He'd be amazing as a voice actor in animation. Suggestions for you if you want some other live examples: Epilogue is a short one but he is clear to hear in it. Moonlight is a fun jam. He is now with Conception: Listen to Silent Crying 2.0 And Roll the Fire 2.0 live in Athens. Special mention to their song Feather Moves.

Without a doubt an excellent performance, it would be great if you reacted to Kamelot with its current vocalist, the song is called "under the Gray skies". Without a doubt, it is an excellent song to make a reaction video.

Kamelot were formed in Tampa, Florida in the 80's by Thomas Youngblood (guitar) who is the only original member... The band was signed to European label Noise Records and debuted in 1995 w/ 'Eternity' feat. Mark Vanderbilt (vocals)... followed by 2nd album 'Dominion' in 1997. Roy Khan (vocals) from Norway joined Kamelot in 1998 and recorded 3rd album 'Siege perilous' ... Khan helped Kamelot develop creatively from a power metal band into a more symphonic metal band w/ the albums 'The fourth legacy' (1999)... 'Karma' (2001)... 'Epica' (2003)... and 'The Black Halo' (2005)... I believe this concert footage was shot on the 'Black halo' tour in Oslo, Norway in 2006 for the concert video/ live CD "One cold winter's night"... w/ Khan (vocals), Youngblood (guitar), Glenn Barry (bass), Casey Grillo (drums) and Oliver Palotai (keyboards) ... (Oliver Palotai eventually married Epica vocalist Simone Simons) Kamelot had built a strong fanbase in Europe by that point and turned their focus on N. America in 2007 w/ the 'Ghost Opera' album and tour... In 2009, Sean Tibbetts (bass) replaced longtime bassist Glenn Barry... the band released 'The poetry and the poisoned' (2010) which charted in the USA for the first time at #74... However, it was the last album to feature vocalist Roy Khan, who left the band in 2010 and Rhapsody vocalist Fabio Leone filled in for Kamelot's 2011 tour. Roy Khan returned to music in 2018 w/ a new band Conception. In 2012, Kamelot announced Tommy Karevik (vocals) from Sweden had joined the band and released the album 'Silverthorn'... Kamelot toured w/ Nightwish that year and returned w/ 'Haven' in 2015, touring extensively worldwide... longtime drummer Casey Grillo left the band by 2017. Kamelot released 'The shadow theory' (2018) w/ Alex Landenburg (drums) and subsequent live CD/DVD 'I am the empire - Live from the 013' in 2020 (filmed in 2018)... Kamelot's latest album was 'The Awakening' in 2023. More Kamelot songs to check out: 'The Haunting' (feat. Simone Simons)... 'March of Mephisto' ... 'Rule the world' ... 'Liar liar' (feat. Alissa White-Gluz)... 'Veil of Elysium'🔥🔥🤘🤘

Roy Khan of course ❤ I recommend an another amazing one, Andre Matos from the brazilian band Angra maybe the song Stand Away 😙

Loved Kamelot with Roy Khan. Saw them live twice in the Netherlands ..... awesome.

You always impress m e ..thank you

I highly recommend reacting to other songs from this amazing night, the whole show was incredible! Especially songs like Abandoned, The Haunting (featuring Simone from Epica), and March of Mephisto

Strongly recommend: Conception - my dark symphony (present Roy Kahn Band)

Hi. I like the theme of big theatrical live music. Thanks for sharing.

Never heard them before, but i enjoyed the performance. Gonna have to get more listens of this song. As always, great reaction.

You should definitely check out some Sacred Outcry or beast in black if you are interested in male vocalists with insanely high ranges.

There's A Band you should check out called Queensryche....The Singer of that Band is Very Operatic.....Songs recommended...(Eyes of a Stranger.....Silent Lucidity).....Geoff Tate is the singer and Also Creates a world....Much like this band does

@AaliyahCapili I don't think anyone has mentioned the keyboardist is Oliver Palotai, hubsand of Simone Simons? You've seen him in their "This Is Halloween" cover.

Dear Aaliyah. We look forward to your reaction to the new performance of maestro PLACIDO DOMINGO & DIMASH 🎼🎼🎼 Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

I was there, and yes it was amazing. :)

I never noticed it before, but part II sounds so much like a James Bond song. He would be great for that.

I just Discovered you've Already REACTED to Queensryche 😂😂....Was just giving Silent Lucidity a Revisit and Spotted your reaction

Listen to BLACK FATE, a Greek band. Vocalist Vasilis Georgiou with a voice similar to Roy's. Listen to "Rhyme of the False Orchestra".

Ciao Aaliyah! Adoro guardare i tuoi video, sei meravigliosa!🤗💞

🇦🇷 ❤

That is normal Music for me , he is a great Singer and that is Heavy Metal Music

Hey, that's the singer from Epica. In front of the mirror.

ロイカーンかっこいいですよね

If you like his acting on this track, watch "March of Mefisto" on the same concert...

Fun fact the “actress” is Simone from epica!

Aaliyah, hope you're doing well 🙏🏻 Missed your reactions to Angelina Jordan. She performed in the Nobel Peace Prize last December with Unchained Melody it's a great way to continue your journey. I think it's been over a year now, there is so much more great performances by Angelina. Peace and love 🙏🏻 God bless

The Grandfather of Heavy Metal Music is Classical Music

Great reaction. Broadening my music genre. I'm from 1972 -1982 hard rock still. All good🎸✍️🐕

Also do March of Mefisto by Kamelot.

As much as I love this epic power metal trilogy, it still only represents the lesser of tracks on one of the greatest power metal albums of all time. Forever, Wings of Despair, The Spell, Don't You Cry (along with the alternate version Roy sung in French), Karma (a personal all-time favorite), The Light I Shine On You, Temples of Gold (a secret treasure of mine), and Across the Highlands all rival, if not best the Elizabeth Trilogy, in my personal opinion. This is one of those albums that truly deserves a full listen/review.

You should check out King Diamond if you want some serious, creepy, operatic falsetto Metal.

Roy, cómo te extraño en la banda😢

I think next check up King Diamond ?

He sounds like a blend of Geoff Tate of Queensryche and Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. Those 2 must have heavily influenced him.

Okay, Elizabeth Bathory was obviously an unwell and evil woman, but without her we wouldn't have this trilogy, so I'm kind of torn ;) Glad to see you enjoying Roy.

roy was also so hot at this time

Without a doubt an excellent performance, it would be great if you reacted to Kamelot with its current vocalist, the song is called "under the Gray skies". Without a doubt, it is an excellent song to make a reaction video.
