guys, seriuosly... i am a big khan fan but you compare a flaweless dvd recording from roy with tommys smartphone records - thats not a fair comparison..thats nothing...sorry to say.
You can still tell Roy's more flawless in intonation and pitch location and smoother in execution overall, regardless of audio quality. Tommy's great. No doubt about it, no questions asked. But Roy was the very HEART of Kamelot. Tommy lacks the richness Khan brought. And comparing anybody to Roy is just unfuckingfair. Tommy stands alone on his own. But even the best of the best just can't top what Khan brought to the table. Like, Hansi of Blind Guardian has always been my biggest vocal inspiration, but I can't ever say he's as flawless as Roy is live. Even though I much prefer Blind Guardian as a band, and Hansi is my idol i prefer both bands live. But Roy's just on a different plane. And being second best to him is no small achievement. Khantatat>Kürsch>Karevik. Period.
Agreed, but a comparison needs to be done with the same video/audio quality. Tommy is an awesome singer and his voice is different from Roy's, with a different style and different strength points.
@@graveworm1987 agreed, but I repeat, this is not a serious comparison: you can't compare a high-quality recording of Khan taken by a blu-ray disc with a cellular rec.

Roy Kahn is/ has been the best singer for Kamelot but I guess Tommy is a better singer, the potential he has shown in Seventh Wonder and Ayreon kinda feels limited trying to fit/ or imitate (if you wish) Roy Khan's singing. Of course they are different metal subgenres.
@@josevech28 It's been two years and everything you said is still a load of shit. Tommy is a very good singer but not in the same category as Roy. Roy is far, far superior.
@@newbiesama They are just a shadow of the old Conception, unfortunately. I was so enthusiastic when I heard they reunite and Roy returns but their new material is so lame (to my ears) :-(
Since I’ve heard Tommy live with great audio quality I can say that my opinion is: both are fkn amazing!! (But Roy’s voice and stage presence makes me always put him on top. I love how theatrical he is. Love 😍🙏
people are so ungrateful I mean this was one of most smooth and flawless vocalist change I've ever seen their voices are very similar and both are very skilled with theirs in their own way be glad this wasn't a tarja Annette thing
These songs were made for roy's voice , is normal if he wins cause those are his songs , also the recordings have more quality for Roy, with these points , I think is very unfair to make a comparison between both, im not saying tomy is better, I'll always prefer Roy , he is my favorite singer in my whole life , but is obvious that in this video Tommy has all the disadvantages
Khan was impossible to replace, Karevik is doing a great job but... 1/2 step down, and the prestance that Khan had on stage cannot be replace... Im trying to like Kamelot as much, but without Roy, its hard.
Exacto, Tommy es maravilloso, fabuloso, me encanta pero Roy, su voz, su presencia, ese hombre le pone una pasión a todo lo que canta y su voz estremece.
Juan Pablo a7x Roy es perfección en todo su esplendor, es más que notable su desempeño tanto vocal como escénico por sobre otros vocalistas, que sí bien son maravillosos,Roy es divino 😍😍contra eso nada.
@@liamfernandez223 seguramente conociste la banda con Tomy, pero déjame decirte que si Kamelot está en el nivel que está ahora es gracias a todo lo que aportó Khan a lo largo de su carrera como vocalista, y si vas a hablar conmigo habla con respeto, tu vocabulario sólo demuestra que sos un ignorante que no respeta el criterio de los demás. Saludos! Y espero que te quede claro que la voz de Roy Khan fué la que hizo llegar a Kamelot a la cima como banda.
This is like comparing marty friedman to kiko loureiro, But worse because the technical gap is much shorter, in some aspects Tommy seems to be more depured technically, but a lot of elite singers are, Khans advantage over the rest is not technique (tho he is not lacking in this) but in his amazing interpretation and expression of the songs. If you see the clip again, youll notice khan is meaning every word he is singing and tommy seems to just be parroting the lyrics. In this Roy Khan is untouchable... no other siger has this level of feel... at least in this genre
For me only Geoff Tate compares, and Khan himself has stated in numerous interviews that Queensryche was a huge influence on his (and the band's) signature sound and style.
I agree when you say Khan means every word he sings, I love Tommy's voice and I don't like to compare but since Khan left Kamelot the band isn't the same and that's because Khan was one of the composers and had a huge influence in the music. The music was more deep and mystic I don't really know how to describe it but it feels different, at least that's how I feel about Kamelot PS. Sorry if I spelled something wrong :P
@@bepkororoti2559the truth be told, some people don't see and hear well....in our eyes, the differences between them are huge on all levels...fortunately Roy came back strongly after 8 years of absence and is in Conception band !!
Something I think is fair to add in Tommy's defense is that all of these songs were written with Khan's voice, range, style in mind making it obvious why it sounds better in Khan's voice. That being said, Tommy definitely isnt a bad singer and many of the newer kamelot songs I wouldn't mind placing above older kamelot songs.
Exactly! I love them both, but there was thankfully a clear shift in writing and overall atmosphere when it came to the introduction of Tommy in Silverthorn an album that I find myself playing most actually
Nope, doesn't hold up. There is plenty of live cell phone video of Khan during his heyday that prove his voice carries much more gravitas and nuance than Tommy's. Sound quality doesn't have anything to do with it. Just listen, you can tell.
@@mujari Roy's his senior by quite a few years so comparing Roy on his way out (and we know he had a vocal burn out as he was going) to Tommy on his way in/ now isn't a fair comparison. Listen to Kamelot's older stuff/ some Conception. Compare them both in their respective prime and Tommy can't hit the highs that Roy could.
Finally, someone understands! Thank you Totally agreed. And it's hard for me to choose which singer I actually prefer, often leaning more towards Tommy. The new songs are so good and definetely surpass lots of their older ones. Not to mention that many older songs had similar composing styles and riffs, while the newer songs are all different from one another (it's true, let's admit it). And @Takai listen to some Seventh Wonder then, when Tommy also was very young and reaching the high notes that Roy did in Conception
Yes. Tommy's audio is mostly horrible. The idea is cool, but it needs better implementation. But it's also correct that Roy is bound to sound better on his own songs. When Roy quit, I honestly thought there was no way Kamelot could go on, and I wasn't familiar with Tommy at the time. After hearing them both, I pretty like them both equally.
Kamelot fan since The Black Halo days and Seventh Wonder fan since the Mercy Fall days here and I think both are equally fantastic. Khan tends to be my preference but that's because he was one of the first vocalists that made me start experiment with singing (it wasn't until I heard Tobias Sammet with Edguy and Avantasia that I started getting serious, though). However, Tommy is also one of the most incredible vocalists I've ever heard. The way I see it, they're two very different styles of vocalist. Roy obviously has the edge because of his operatic training and theatrical voice. He and Andy Kuntz from Vanden Plas are two of the best in that regard. However, Tommy has phenomenal control over his voice, along with great power in the higher notes, a seemingly wider range and he uses distortion a LOT more than Roy does, which enables him to convey aggressiveness to a greater degree than Roy. Tommy did a fantastic job of adapting from his Seventh Wonder style (where he tends to go all-out on vocal acrobatics) to the more reserved, theatrical approach of Roy's vocal work. I was genuinely shocked when I heard his voice on Silverthorn, I didn't realize he was so diverse and capable of adapting so much. Last I heard him, he was wailing ridiculously awesome high notes like the ones in The Great Escape, but then we hear him singing lower and intentionally restrictive vocally. It was a very welcome change as well. I love Roy's voice and I prefer his era of Kamelot but Tommy has been a phenomenal choice. It seems Youngblood and the rest of the guys wanted to choose a vocalist that could emulate Roy's voice without directly cloning it and they selected a PERFECT fit. I know that band fanbases can get really bitter over vocalist changes (another example is Killswitch Engage; I love both vocalists but fans love to argue about them), but it'd be really nice to just have one day where fans can accept that both vocalists were amazing for the band, even if they have a personal preference.
Having just really gotten into Kamelot in the past month, I love seeing comments like this (especially coming from the DT fanbase and seeing a lot of Portnoy v. Mangini comments lol). I know of Tommy coming from Ayreon, so while I wasn't surprised to see how well he sang outside of Ayreon, I get tingles from songs during the Khan era (Fourth Legacy, When The Lights Go Down, and Karma, among others) as well as things from Tommy's era (Sacrimony, Liar Liar, and Burns to Embrace, among others). It's just all good music :D
@@BenMichalowicz Oh yeah, the Portnoy vs. Mangini arguments definitely get old haha. It's always good to chat with newer fans! They're such a great band and I agree entirely, it's just great music!
Roy is Legendary and there's no getting round that, Tommy's voice works so very well with the last 3 albums which I find to be quite different in a good way to prior works, the band is writing music that works with his voice brilliantly I feel, so the new songs work as a decent distinction in songs style, and I've only good things to say about both singers especially as it was Haven that got me into this band in the first place!
Like si dejaste de seguir a Kamelot cuando Roy se fue...😢...cómo extraño sus puestas en escenas y su magistral canto. Tommy canta muy bien, pero sólo existe una sola "Voz de Dios".
Yo tmb extraño al grandioso roy khan osea el estilo que tenia kamelot le puso a la altura de otras grandes bandas que ya tenian un lugar ganado mucho mas antes y cuando llegó tommy digamos que no fue tan bueno pero obviamente tenian que adaptarse a un nuevo estilo que vaya a acompañar a su voz no digo que el nuevo estilo sea peor que el de antes es mas me gusta que invite a cantantes como alizza, lauren hart, entre otras pero nunca volveran a igualar al kamelot cuando roy khan era la voz jejee
different video qualities. Every song with Khan was taken from the official HD HQ show and it is normaly that his vocals would be better. I am not defending Tommy but try to repeat this video when they release new dvd blu-ray next year. equal quality/ worth of comparison.
The quality of recording isn't being compared here, it's the quality of performance. There are multiple videos out there of Roy performing not on the live dvd where he sounds exactly the same performance wise.
@@jlda1887 no hay reglas.cada quien con su gusto.la realidad igual dice que kamelot es lo que es gracias a los discos con Khan.o vos sos nuevito en esto y empezaste con los discos de Karevik?lo triste es ver como quiere imitarlo.es imposible
Roy has always been one of my favourite singer. Then one day I heard the "new" Kamelot song (Sacrimony or something) with Tommy and I was like "what the eff... Roy is gone... crying... a new singer... ohh he's even better" So what to say, both are very good. I like listening them both. No point of comparing them, just enjoy their performance. A bit different but somehow similar. Even though Tommy does it better and he's one of my new favourites, I still get goosebumps when I hear Roy's voice.
Khan's voice is so rich and textured. Such amazing modulation and nuance. Tommy can only parrot and hope for the best when things get really complicated. Don't get me wrong Tommy's a good singer, especially in his own band Seventh Wonder where he shines doing his own thing. He's always reminded me of a really good Broadway style singer. But Roy on the other hand is opera trained and it most definitely can be heard on all of the early Kamelot albums. He's truly a great singer. And the good news is that he's back with his former band Conception. Their new EP is due out late November. So if you love Roy Khan go and support!
I guess no one could call Tommy a bad singer. He is really technically good and all. But i cant say what it is, but Roy just touches you so much more. He is so present in his singing. He really means every word it seems.
The way I had to describe it to my wife: Tommy creates beautiful masterpieces worthy of praise, but Roy wove spells in sonic form. Tommy makes you stop and listen, but Roy has you hooked before he even opens his mouth.
Tommy and Roy are Awesome Singer, but Kamelot without Khan would not have become kamelot! I falling in love with Roy Khan Voice is so original and unique!
Replacing a vocalist is one of the hardest things a band can go through.it'll often make or break a band. In the case of Roy and Tommy, it's like cooking your favorite dish. You use fresh ingredients and spices and it comes out amazing. On the other hand you use dry ingredients and generic spices, it still comes out pretty good but it's just not the same.
Vocally they are both similar (see vocal range below). However, it is my opinion that Roy shows more emotion in the songs due to writing/co-writing them, and you can see how the latest album shows Tommy is more connected with the songs he was involved with writing/co-writing. As for live performances, I have to give it to Tommy as his stage presence is what a great frontman does (use of the stage, interaction with the band, audience involvement). Roy tends to stay in his spot with little movement. As reference, see the performances listed below. All but one are from live DVD recordings. 3 octaves, 6 notes: Tommy Karevik (D2 to C6) 3 octaves, 5 notes: Roy Khan (Bb1 to F#5) For comparison ~ 4 octaves : Geoff Tate (A1 to A5), Jon Oliva (A1 to A5), Freddie Mercury (F2 to F6) www.vintagevinylnews.com/2014/05/digging-deeper-axl-rose-is-not-singer.html Kamelot with Roy (Live) ruclips.net/video/EqqPYySZnVY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/6zgTPyV2iXo/видео.html Kamelot with Tommy (Live) ruclips.net/video/rUf6_L8Wyt0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/e4b1SkQfgUA/видео.html For reference: Queensryche with Geoff Tate (Live) ruclips.net/video/xk84dVq644k/видео.html ruclips.net/video/-eus0q7JNrs/видео.html

Roy Khan is better but you have to consider you are comparing a show in HD that was recorded for dvd and album purposes with a regular show with low quality by Kaverik
Não há sensatez nas comparações.. áudio de um live DVD e um live gravado de um telefone ( de um turnê desgastante possivelmente).. Mais Roy Khan não se compara a ninguém. Voz marcante e que deixa muitas saudades..
Can't say Tommy is a bad singer because he isn't. But there are many good singers and there is Khan. He's definetely more than just a good singer, even than great singer. He's true artist, he writes his own meaningful lyrics, always sings with so much emotions, oh and his theatrical-like performances! And Tommy is what? Good singer? Good for him..
Tommy is better for crazy teenagers because he is cute, but for true music lovers is even a ridiculous comparation. Roy Khan is just the voice of God and we are very lucky because he is back!
@@liamfernandez223 pues supongo que nada. Como que pongas en tu nombre de canal "oficial" cuando no eres nadie y no te conoce ni tu familia. A nadie le importa tampoco.
This is not a knock on Tommy(who's a fantastic singer in his own right) but Roy comes out on top. He knows when to hold back a half step to give that struggle in his voice. Not that he couldn't hit the note, it was an artistic choice(and a smart one). Plus his stage presence is unmatched.
I love Tommy Karevik's voice. He's really good. He's done a great job stepping into the void left by Roy. BUT, Roy Khan's voice is what made Kamelot my #1 favorite band. His vocals in March of Mephisto made my jaw drop, especially as the music for a Hellsing Ultimate AMV. Roy Khan has a bit more powerful of a voice, I think, and idk.... there's a certain je-ne-sais-quois about it. I'm still proud af of Tommy Karevik though. I mean, he's basically as close as anybody is going to get to Roy Khan, which is still quite an accomplishment.
4 года назад
Tommy is a low tenor and Roy is a baritone so totally different voices, plus roy is classical trained Tommy karevik is self taught, he's doing his best to sing songs written for roy khan timbre of voice... I love them both even if roy wins on his songs
Still listening to this comparison on 2022. I can say Roy and Tommy are absolutely crazy good singers. Have different styles. Even though I love how Khan sang with Kamelot, and now with Tommy has a different more plastic vibe, still, I think he does have more freedom to sing with Seventh Wonder than with Kamelot as he had to keep Roy characters and singing style. But he can beat Roy on some singing techniques, but Roy is about that theatrical part that no one can do, and that gives that singing style a plus. Both are great, way too different, but they needed a guy with crazy talent to fill the biggest shoes ever. Nightwish when this happened with Tarja ended not going very well for Annette Olson. But now having Floor Jansen worked very well for them. Great video as well!
Both are great singers. I personally prefer Roy's voice, since it's a Baritone and his high notes require a lot more tension and have a more distinctive edge. Whereas Tommy's is more like a Tenor if I'm not wrong, and his high notes just sound a little bit dry and easy, more effortless, less emotional to me.
They are both great singers in their own right. Must remember Tommy is singing Roy’s songs but he does well. Would love to see them both together on stage.
Roy Khan had an unique interpretation that carries on even in the songs Tommy performs. It's like those songs were made for Roy's performance. Tommy, even as a great vocalist, tries to replicate Roy's songs. Basically, Roy was the identity of the band.
We are trying to compare God, with another God. I grew up listening Roy with Concetion, and then with Kamelot. What can I say ?. This guy is not human, but someday, I found Seventh Wonder on you tube, I found a new guy singing like a fucking god, and some time later, he took the place Roy left. Tommy not only had to sing well, but he also had to fit THE PLACE of God. Both are fucking damm great singers. Both of them express emotions in their singing. So now we only have to decide if we prefer Roy or Tommy, or be smart and listen both, because we had the gift of knowing them.
Roy carries something that is beyond singing and words and everyone sensitive enough can sense it, there's no replacement for that. Tommy is a good singer and great guy but doesn't have that factor. I wish he did have it and what KAmelot was lives on. In that sense, to me, Roy WAS Kamelot. Wish I see him again in Kamelot before we all kick the bucket. To me, we all our losing something precious with each day he is not in that band..........
Roy was an incredible performer, he sang with soul, he gave it his all, his stage presence was magnificent and mysterious, you can't take your eyes off him. Tommy is a great replacement and he definitely has talent but he can't reach Roy's level. It's like Tommy is just doing his job whereas Roy was FEELING every word he sang and he passed that through to his audience. Which is why fans adored him and still do.
The new guy is probably better on a technical level but he is also far more generic sounding. I know it sounds harsh but he could literally be anyone with a great, clean voice. In contrast, there’s only one Roy Khan. You immediately know it’s him. His tone and rich texture really plays to my tastes plus he’s no slouch in technical ability.
Honestly, I have the exact opposite opinion, I feel like based purely of his voice, I sujet be année to pick Roy out of a crowd of other classically trained singers ( this is of course not taking his stage presence into account) but I immediately recognize Tommy’s
They are both amazing singers in their own ways. Tommy Karevik specfically what he does with Seventh Wonder is OUT OF THIS WORLD, he just really doesn't reach of impressiveness with Kamelot. But for Kamelot, there is just something so insanely unique with his voice that is impossible match. I'm happy for him that he's living a more a wholesome life now away from the spotlight, but it's still a shame we lost such an amazing voice and performer.
Yah'll also forget 2 really important things. Roy is Classically taught and joined Kamelot when Tommy was like in Jr. High-er- Secondary school (?).... And Tommy has never had any lessons. He is completely self taught. No one can touch Roy, but Tommy sings these songs very well. THAT we can agree on. It's not like comparing Nightwish singers, which everyone sounds completely different (though I've been a huuuuuuge Floor fan since 2010ish), And near everyone dislikes Anette(she sucked in Nightwish imho, great pop singer, though).
Its not correct to compare official video version with amateur smartphone records. Both are amazing singers. Kamelot must be very lucky to find equal replacement for Roy
in studio songs, i think i felt Roy's shadow in Tommy's voice; tommy's voice's good, but Roy Khan is the best! P/S: comparing between Roy with Tommy by this way's not fair for Tommy
Both of them are amazing singers but Roy is simply on a whole other level, that being said, Tommy was definitely the perfect man to take his place in Kamelot.
I think the video doesn't do his voice justice. Maybe it was a bad mix at the gig or something, but when I heard him sing live he sounded better than what we hear in the video.
I'd say that the difference between Tommy and Roy is that Roy is an operatic performance, whereas Tommy is the modern musical adaptation of the original production.
Ambos são excelentes vocalistas. Eu particularmente tenho uma ligação emocional com Khan porque descobri a banda com ele no vocal. Mas além disso, simplesmente acho o Khan o cara que tem uma habilidade única de fazer uma leitura emocional e transpor isso para a música. Parece que ele tem a preocupação de como cada palavra tem que soar. Isso acho fantástico. Um vocal muito emotivo e cheio de sensações.
As much I love Roy's work with Kamelot, this is kind of an unfair comparison of him and Tommy. Because, as much emotion that goes into kamelot's lyrics and performances it's impossible for Tommy to reach all the way to the top, especially with the "older material, simply because he didn't write the material. Every performance of Roy's work, cannot be more than an emulation of how Roy sings it. So while Tommy does an excellent job at that. In the end, Roy's lyrics are just "ink on paper" to Tommy. And that's why i figure piting a "new" vocalist against a previous vocalist is a bit of an unfair comparison. Do I like Roy better? Yes. Absolutely. But Tommy really does a good job, and a damned good one too. And in the end I think Roy did what was best for him, and that's admirable in it's own way.
Yes. DT and Kamelot are two of my top favorite bands ever, but I can't bring myself to love LaBrie's singing. Khan absolutely obliterates him and what you subgested would be simply amazing.
hmm i don't know, dream theater is my favorite band, james labrie's vocals are not for everyone but it would just sound weird if someone else was singing
In a live performance, Rhoy is better than everyone. You can say that Freddie Mercury, Axl Rose or anyone you think of at this moment is good. But nobody is like Khan.
La calidad de los audios es diferente y para alguien que no los conoce resulta confuso pero aunque me gusta Tommy y creo que es un buen vocalista para la banda, Roy no tiene comparación. Sin duda Roy es un Dios 🥰
Sea o no mala la calidad de los vídeos de Tommy, jamás, pero jamás le llegará a los talones a Roy, se nota demasiado la diferencia de voces, las escalas, sobre todos los altos, la voz envolvente de Roy no es como la popera de Tommy, que debo decir, es bastante común
a pues si a huevo con jamón y tocino es un chingon roy pero que crees ya va a regresar para otoño oi rumores que va estar en la banda conception y si quieres verlo ponle roy 2018 el reencuentro y va con todo

Jan Rzepucha My thoughts exactly. 🙄
There aren't any quality live recordings with Tommy, yet. Don't be a dumbass.
You don't need perfect audio quality to tell who is more on pitch.
You can still tell Roy's more flawless in intonation and pitch location and smoother in execution overall, regardless of audio quality.
Tommy's great. No doubt about it, no questions asked. But Roy was the very HEART of Kamelot. Tommy lacks the richness Khan brought. And comparing anybody to Roy is just unfuckingfair. Tommy stands alone on his own. But even the best of the best just can't top what Khan brought to the table.
Like, Hansi of Blind Guardian has always been my biggest vocal inspiration, but I can't ever say he's as flawless as Roy is live. Even though I much prefer Blind Guardian as a band, and Hansi is my idol i prefer both bands live. But Roy's just on a different plane. And being second best to him is no small achievement.

ROY KHAN COME BACK....THERE IS NO COMPARISON 💎🔥
simple and clear :)
thank you for saying it
@@bepkororoti2559the truth be told, some people don't see and hear well....in our eyes, the differences between them are huge on all levels...fortunately Roy came back strongly after 8 years of absence and is in Conception band !!
Something I think is fair to add in Tommy's defense is that all of these songs were written with Khan's voice, range, style in mind making it obvious why it sounds better in Khan's voice. That being said, Tommy definitely isnt a bad singer and many of the newer kamelot songs I wouldn't mind placing above older kamelot songs.
Exactly! I love them both, but there was thankfully a clear shift in writing and overall atmosphere when it came to the introduction of Tommy in Silverthorn an album that I find myself playing most actually
one rebuttal is most of these are down a full step when tommy sings them, which i dont know why cause he can actually get higher than roy.
Nope, doesn't hold up. There is plenty of live cell phone video of Khan during his heyday that prove his voice carries much more gravitas and nuance than Tommy's. Sound quality doesn't have anything to do with it. Just listen, you can tell.
@@mujari Roy's his senior by quite a few years so comparing Roy on his way out (and we know he had a vocal burn out as he was going) to Tommy on his way in/ now isn't a fair comparison. Listen to Kamelot's older stuff/ some Conception. Compare them both in their respective prime and Tommy can't hit the highs that Roy could.
Finally, someone understands! Thank you
Totally agreed. And it's hard for me to choose which singer I actually prefer, often leaning more towards Tommy. The new songs are so good and definetely surpass lots of their older ones. Not to mention that many older songs had similar composing styles and riffs, while the newer songs are all different from one another (it's true, let's admit it).
And @Takai listen to some Seventh Wonder then, when Tommy also was very young and reaching the high notes that Roy did in Conception
This isn't even fair, almost all of the clips of Roy are from professionally recorded and mixed recordings.
exactly
Yes. Tommy's audio is mostly horrible. The idea is cool, but it needs better implementation.
But it's also correct that Roy is bound to sound better on his own songs.
When Roy quit, I honestly thought there was no way Kamelot could go on, and I wasn't familiar with Tommy at the time. After hearing them both, I pretty like them both equally.
There's NO MATCH...to the MIGHTY KAHN!!!
I might have found one. Fuki from Unlucky Morpheus.
Kamelot fan since The Black Halo days and Seventh Wonder fan since the Mercy Fall days here and I think both are equally fantastic. Khan tends to be my preference but that's because he was one of the first vocalists that made me start experiment with singing (it wasn't until I heard Tobias Sammet with Edguy and Avantasia that I started getting serious, though). However, Tommy is also one of the most incredible vocalists I've ever heard.
The way I see it, they're two very different styles of vocalist. Roy obviously has the edge because of his operatic training and theatrical voice. He and Andy Kuntz from Vanden Plas are two of the best in that regard. However, Tommy has phenomenal control over his voice, along with great power in the higher notes, a seemingly wider range and he uses distortion a LOT more than Roy does, which enables him to convey aggressiveness to a greater degree than Roy.
Tommy did a fantastic job of adapting from his Seventh Wonder style (where he tends to go all-out on vocal acrobatics) to the more reserved, theatrical approach of Roy's vocal work. I was genuinely shocked when I heard his voice on Silverthorn, I didn't realize he was so diverse and capable of adapting so much. Last I heard him, he was wailing ridiculously awesome high notes like the ones in The Great Escape, but then we hear him singing lower and intentionally restrictive vocally. It was a very welcome change as well. I love Roy's voice and I prefer his era of Kamelot but Tommy has been a phenomenal choice. It seems Youngblood and the rest of the guys wanted to choose a vocalist that could emulate Roy's voice without directly cloning it and they selected a PERFECT fit.
I know that band fanbases can get really bitter over vocalist changes (another example is Killswitch Engage; I love both vocalists but fans love to argue about them), but it'd be really nice to just have one day where fans can accept that both vocalists were amazing for the band, even if they have a personal preference.
Well said!
I love to see someone who acknowledges both, they are very talented and of course they have different qualities that they bring with their vocals
@@santiagocalderon3261 I'm grateful that I'm not the only fan that sees the positives in both vocalists!
Having just really gotten into Kamelot in the past month, I love seeing comments like this (especially coming from the DT fanbase and seeing a lot of Portnoy v. Mangini comments lol). I know of Tommy coming from Ayreon, so while I wasn't surprised to see how well he sang outside of Ayreon, I get tingles from songs during the Khan era (Fourth Legacy, When The Lights Go Down, and Karma, among others) as well as things from Tommy's era (Sacrimony, Liar Liar, and Burns to Embrace, among others). It's just all good music :D
@@BenMichalowicz Oh yeah, the Portnoy vs. Mangini arguments definitely get old haha. It's always good to chat with newer fans! They're such a great band and I agree entirely, it's just great music!
Roy is Legendary and there's no getting round that, Tommy's voice works so very well with the last 3 albums which I find to be quite different in a good way to prior works, the band is writing music that works with his voice brilliantly I feel, so the new songs work as a decent distinction in songs style, and I've only good things to say about both singers especially as it was Haven that got me into this band in the first place!
Roy? Who is he? Why is he a legend? xD
Roy is the voice of God but Tommy is the angel of afterlife :)
No way! Roy is unmatched
Não dá pra comparar.. sdds Roy
Concordo Roy é foda.
Like si dejaste de seguir a Kamelot cuando Roy se fue...😢...cómo extraño sus puestas en escenas y su magistral canto. Tommy canta muy bien, pero sólo existe una sola "Voz de Dios".
Yo tmb extraño al grandioso roy khan osea el estilo que tenia kamelot le puso a la altura de otras grandes bandas que ya tenian un lugar ganado mucho mas antes y cuando llegó tommy digamos que no fue tan bueno pero obviamente tenian que adaptarse a un nuevo estilo que vaya a acompañar a su voz no digo que el nuevo estilo sea peor que el de antes es mas me gusta que invite a cantantes como alizza, lauren hart, entre otras pero nunca volveran a igualar al kamelot cuando roy khan era la voz jejee
different video qualities. Every song with Khan was taken from the official HD HQ show and it is normaly that his vocals would be better. I am not defending Tommy but try to repeat this video when they release new dvd blu-ray next year.
equal quality/ worth of comparison.
ruclips.net/video/hNuKCzQq6B0/видео.html
Ahi tenes uno con baja calidad y sigue siendo mejor roy
The quality of recording isn't being compared here, it's the quality of performance. There are multiple videos out there of Roy performing not on the live dvd where he sounds exactly the same performance wise.
@@nahuelgonzalez5470 Y cómo son las reglas de calificación para decir que es mejor? Yo lo escucho y para mí es mejor cantante Tommy...
@@jlda1887 no hay reglas.cada quien con su gusto.la realidad igual dice que kamelot es lo que es gracias a los discos con Khan.o vos sos nuevito en esto y empezaste con los discos de Karevik?lo triste es ver como quiere imitarlo.es imposible
Roy has always been one of my favourite singer. Then one day I heard the "new" Kamelot song (Sacrimony or something) with Tommy and I was like "what the eff... Roy is gone... crying... a new singer... ohh he's even better" So what to say, both are very good. I like listening them both. No point of comparing them, just enjoy their performance. A bit different but somehow similar. Even though Tommy does it better and he's one of my new favourites, I still get goosebumps when I hear Roy's voice.
Khan's voice is so rich and textured. Such amazing modulation and nuance. Tommy can only parrot and hope for the best when things get really complicated. Don't get me wrong Tommy's a good singer, especially in his own band Seventh Wonder where he shines doing his own thing. He's always reminded me of a really good Broadway style singer. But Roy on the other hand is opera trained and it most definitely can be heard on all of the early Kamelot albums. He's truly a great singer. And the good news is that he's back with his former band Conception. Their new EP is due out late November. So if you love Roy Khan go and support!
Definitivamente nadie podrá cantar las canciones de Roy con ese mismo sentimiento
Listen to new Conception single, it's on RUclips! Re:conception, Grand Again and Feather Moves

Grand Again brought tears to my eyes. Roy is back and Conception is a great band.

I love both, but, nobody like Roy, his voice is the most beautiful in the world😍😍
El color, los disparos y falsetes de Roy son inigualables más allá de que me gusten los dos. ❤️🙌🇦🇷
I guess no one could call Tommy a bad singer. He is really technically good and all. But i cant say what it is, but Roy just touches you so much more. He is so present in his singing. He really means every word it seems.
The way I had to describe it to my wife: Tommy creates beautiful masterpieces worthy of praise, but Roy wove spells in sonic form. Tommy makes you stop and listen, but Roy has you hooked before he even opens his mouth.
I understand why most ppl prefer Roy, but there's something about Tommy's voice and tone that moves me every time in the newest kamelot songs 🖤
Tommy and Roy are Awesome Singer, but Kamelot without Khan would not have become kamelot!
I falling in love with Roy Khan Voice is so original and unique!
Roy Khan is Kamelot, nothing is same without him. The difference is noted even in the amount of public.
Tommy is perfectly serviceable, but Roy Khan is a theatre by himself
Replacing a vocalist is one of the hardest things a band can go through.it'll often make or break a band. In the case of Roy and Tommy, it's like cooking your favorite dish. You use fresh ingredients and spices and it comes out amazing. On the other hand you use dry ingredients and generic spices, it still comes out pretty good but it's just not the same.
Really are you comparing an amazing classical trained Barintone with an amazing dramatic Tenor??? THERE IS NO POINT just personal prefferences
Being totally honest...I love both of their voices
Está vídeo está hecho para favorecer a Roy, la calidad de los vídeos de Tommy es muy diferente y no se puede analizar de una manera objetiva
Vocally they are both similar (see vocal range below). However, it is my opinion that Roy shows more emotion in the songs due to writing/co-writing them, and you can see how the latest album shows Tommy is more connected with the songs he was involved with writing/co-writing.
As for live performances, I have to give it to Tommy as his stage presence is what a great frontman does (use of the stage, interaction with the band, audience involvement). Roy tends to stay in his spot with little movement. As reference, see the performances listed below. All but one are from live DVD recordings.
3 octaves, 6 notes: Tommy Karevik (D2 to C6)
3 octaves, 5 notes: Roy Khan (Bb1 to F#5)
For comparison ~ 4 octaves : Geoff Tate (A1 to A5), Jon Oliva (A1 to A5), Freddie Mercury (F2 to F6)

Roy Khan is better but you have to consider you are comparing a show in HD that was recorded for dvd and album purposes with a regular show with low quality by Kaverik
Still, Tommy is singing in dropped key
Não há sensatez nas comparações.. áudio de um live DVD e um live gravado de um telefone ( de um turnê desgastante possivelmente)..
Mais Roy Khan não se compara a ninguém. Voz marcante e que deixa muitas saudades..
Comparação injusta, mas prefiro Tommy
Can't say Tommy is a bad singer because he isn't. But there are many good singers and there is Khan. He's definetely more than just a good singer, even than great singer. He's true artist, he writes his own meaningful lyrics, always sings with so much emotions, oh and his theatrical-like performances!
And Tommy is what? Good singer? Good for him..
Tommy is better for crazy teenagers because he is cute, but for true music lovers is even a ridiculous comparation. Roy Khan is just the voice of God and we are very lucky because he is back!

Roy is always the man,no comparison
This is not a knock on Tommy(who's a fantastic singer in his own right) but Roy comes out on top. He knows when to hold back a half step to give that struggle in his voice. Not that he couldn't hit the note, it was an artistic choice(and a smart one). Plus his stage presence is unmatched.
Tommy is amazing. Roy is a different species that came to bless us with his voice.
I love Tommy Karevik's voice. He's really good. He's done a great job stepping into the void left by Roy. BUT, Roy Khan's voice is what made Kamelot my #1 favorite band. His vocals in March of Mephisto made my jaw drop, especially as the music for a Hellsing Ultimate AMV. Roy Khan has a bit more powerful of a voice, I think, and idk.... there's a certain je-ne-sais-quois about it. I'm still proud af of Tommy Karevik though. I mean, he's basically as close as anybody is going to get to Roy Khan, which is still quite an accomplishment.
Tommy is a low tenor and Roy is a baritone so totally different voices, plus roy is classical trained Tommy karevik is self taught, he's doing his best to sing songs written for roy khan timbre of voice... I love them both even if roy wins on his songs
Still listening to this comparison on 2022. I can say Roy and Tommy are absolutely crazy good singers. Have different styles. Even though I love how Khan sang with Kamelot, and now with Tommy has a different more plastic vibe, still, I think he does have more freedom to sing with Seventh Wonder than with Kamelot as he had to keep Roy characters and singing style. But he can beat Roy on some singing techniques, but Roy is about that theatrical part that no one can do, and that gives that singing style a plus. Both are great, way too different, but they needed a guy with crazy talent to fill the biggest shoes ever. Nightwish when this happened with Tarja ended not going very well for Annette Olson. But now having Floor Jansen worked very well for them. Great video as well!
Both are great singers. I personally prefer Roy's voice, since it's a Baritone and his high notes require a lot more tension and have a more distinctive edge. Whereas Tommy's is more like a Tenor if I'm not wrong, and his high notes just sound a little bit dry and easy, more effortless, less emotional to me.
Roy=feeling,mistic and nature!All that we want to find in real music!All we want to feel!
They are both great singers in their own right. Must remember Tommy is singing Roy’s songs but he does well. Would love to see them both together on stage.
Roy Khan had an unique interpretation that carries on even in the songs Tommy performs. It's like those songs were made for Roy's performance. Tommy, even as a great vocalist, tries to replicate Roy's songs. Basically, Roy was the identity of the band.
We are trying to compare God, with another God. I grew up listening Roy with Concetion, and then with Kamelot. What can I say ?. This guy is not human, but someday, I found Seventh Wonder on you tube, I found a new guy singing like a fucking god, and some time later, he took the place Roy left. Tommy not only had to sing well, but he also had to fit THE PLACE of God.
Both are fucking damm great singers. Both of them express emotions in their singing. So now we only have to decide if we prefer Roy or Tommy, or be smart and listen both, because we had the gift of knowing them.
Roy carries something that is beyond singing and words and everyone sensitive enough can sense it, there's no replacement for that. Tommy is a good singer and great guy but doesn't have that factor. I wish he did have it and what KAmelot was lives on. In that sense, to me, Roy WAS Kamelot. Wish I see him again in Kamelot before we all kick the bucket. To me, we all our losing something precious with each day he is not in that band..........
Roy Khan is the most emotionally rich vocalist in the history of metal. But Tommy is doing a really good job with the band.
You absolutely can't compare pro-shot concert footage with someone's cell phone.
Roy was an incredible performer, he sang with soul, he gave it his all, his stage presence was magnificent and mysterious, you can't take your eyes off him.
Tommy is a great replacement and he definitely has talent but he can't reach Roy's level. It's like Tommy is just doing his job whereas Roy was FEELING every word he sang and he passed that through to his audience. Which is why fans adored him and still do.
Tommy fucking rocks, he's got an amazing voice, but Roy's godly voice is just too good for him.
Roy is the best of the two no need to even compare
The new guy is probably better on a technical level but he is also far more generic sounding. I know it sounds harsh but he could literally be anyone with a great, clean voice.
In contrast, there’s only one Roy Khan. You immediately know it’s him. His tone and rich texture really plays to my tastes plus he’s no slouch in technical ability.
Honestly, I have the exact opposite opinion, I feel like based purely of his voice, I sujet be année to pick Roy out of a crowd of other classically trained singers ( this is of course not taking his stage presence into account) but I immediately recognize Tommy’s
Roy clips is such pure chaos and sound so brutal yet divine...the new song with tommy is great but Roy's time was legend
They are both amazing singers in their own ways. Tommy Karevik specfically what he does with Seventh Wonder is OUT OF THIS WORLD, he just really doesn't reach of impressiveness with Kamelot. But for Kamelot, there is just something so insanely unique with his voice that is impossible match. I'm happy for him that he's living a more a wholesome life now away from the spotlight, but it's still a shame we lost such an amazing voice and performer.
THE KING IS BACK
Yah'll also forget 2 really important things. Roy is Classically taught and joined Kamelot when Tommy was like in Jr. High-er- Secondary school (?).... And Tommy has never had any lessons. He is completely self taught.
No one can touch Roy, but Tommy sings these songs very well. THAT we can agree on.
It's not like comparing Nightwish singers, which everyone sounds completely different (though I've been a huuuuuuge Floor fan since 2010ish), And near everyone dislikes Anette(she sucked in Nightwish imho, great pop singer, though).
Yes, its technically good, but he lacks the soul and presence Roy brought to Kamelot. Its all in the details, for me atleast
Los dos son grandes vocalistas.
A voz é incomparável. Nenhuma voz vai substituir Roy Khan ainda mais que o vocal atual só tenta imita-lo sem sucesso
Os dois são ótimos! Aqui estão comparando gravações de Dvd do Roy Khan, com gravação de celular de Tommy.
Real kamelot fans no waste time with such pathetic comparisons, Khan's legacy es untouchable and Tommy's present is simply amazing
Its not correct to compare official video version with amateur smartphone records. Both are amazing singers. Kamelot must be very lucky to find equal replacement for Roy
the quality and texture of roy khan voice is untouched
no one can replace this outer world man MR. Khan
en serio? ni de lejos se compara con Roy, nada más mira como sube la voz al inicio
Tommy is just an average replacement for an iconic singer in Khan
in studio songs, i think i felt Roy's shadow in Tommy's voice; tommy's voice's good, but Roy Khan is the best!
P/S: comparing between Roy with Tommy by this way's not fair for Tommy
My two Favorite singer! I love both, i love Conception and i Love Seventh Wonder!
Both of them are amazing singers but Roy is simply on a whole other level, that being said, Tommy was definitely the perfect man to take his place in Kamelot.
Khan is in a class of his own. Also like others mentioned the songs are his originality and has his soul and was designed for Roy's singing style..
I don't like the audio of tommy's part but I vot tommy I love tommy😘😘✌👊👍
I think the video doesn't do his voice justice. Maybe it was a bad mix at the gig or something, but when I heard him sing live he sounded better than what we hear in the video.
I'd say that the difference between Tommy and Roy is that Roy is an operatic performance, whereas Tommy is the modern musical adaptation of the original production.
Ambos são excelentes vocalistas. Eu particularmente tenho uma ligação emocional com Khan porque descobri a banda com ele no vocal. Mas além disso, simplesmente acho o Khan o cara que tem uma habilidade única de fazer uma leitura emocional e transpor isso para a música. Parece que ele tem a preocupação de como cada palavra tem que soar. Isso acho fantástico. Um vocal muito emotivo e cheio de sensações.
As much I love Roy's work with Kamelot, this is kind of an unfair comparison of him and Tommy. Because, as much emotion that goes into kamelot's lyrics and performances it's impossible for Tommy to reach all the way to the top, especially with the "older material, simply because he didn't write the material. Every performance of Roy's work, cannot be more than an emulation of how Roy sings it. So while Tommy does an excellent job at that. In the end, Roy's lyrics are just "ink on paper" to Tommy. And that's why i figure piting a "new" vocalist against a previous vocalist is a bit of an unfair comparison. Do I like Roy better? Yes. Absolutely. But Tommy really does a good job, and a damned good one too. And in the end I think Roy did what was best for him, and that's admirable in it's own way.
I would love to hear Roy sing with Dream Theater
Oh yees
Yes. DT and Kamelot are two of my top favorite bands ever, but I can't bring myself to love LaBrie's singing. Khan absolutely obliterates him and what you subgested would be simply amazing.
hmm i don't know, dream theater is my favorite band, james labrie's vocals are not for everyone but it would just sound weird if someone else was singing
I think it would be a perfect match with Khans great sense of theatric and vocalwidth.
Having seen Tommy live I know he is phenomonal. I just love Roy, plus Roy wrote the songs so you cannot expect somebody to do it as "well"
i like both. they are different but both have great range and power in their voice. i can't say one is better than other.
Roy Khan is brilliant, great singer
In a live performance, Rhoy is better than everyone. You can say that Freddie Mercury, Axl Rose or anyone you think of at this moment is good. But nobody is like Khan.
Khan will not be beaten
Khan is way better, but notice the video quality is much better on khan's versions as well.
Both are absolutely amazing. I don't have a favourite. I love the whole band! 🖤
La calidad de los audios es diferente y para alguien que no los conoce resulta confuso pero aunque me gusta Tommy y creo que es un buen vocalista para la banda, Roy no tiene comparación. Sin duda Roy es un Dios 🥰
Tommy is the best replacement for magnificent Roy 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I know right can't believe people complaining this change was almost flawless
live both brilliant!!
Sea o no mala la calidad de los vídeos de Tommy, jamás, pero jamás le llegará a los talones a Roy, se nota demasiado la diferencia de voces, las escalas, sobre todos los altos, la voz envolvente de Roy no es como la popera de Tommy, que debo decir, es bastante común
Roy Khan is the best...
Who's Tommy?
