Sorry, i needed a minute to pick my chin up off of the ground... the floor is filthy. Thank you for watching and congratulations on all of your success!!! I look forward to hearing more!
The chorus of singers in the background are known as Ayreon's Angels. From your left, looking at the screen they are: Irene Jansen (Floor's sister), Lisette van den Berg and Marcela Bovio. The woman who had the solo in this was Magali Luytin. Next up, maybe "Age of Shadows" live.
"The other guy" is Tommy Karevic from Kamelot / Seventh Wonder. With the exception of Maggy Luyten all singers were also featured on your first Ayreon song, as this is the 3rd track of the album The Source. Please do the whole Universe show, it shows a fantastic variety of Arjen's music, every single song is amazing and so well performed.
Magali "Maggie" Luyten can sound very gentle voiced too (mot during this concert though), she is amazing, check out Intergalactic Space Crusaders from this same concert, Maggie goes wild ;-)
Tommy Karevik the newest lead singet for Kamalot is the other singer singing with Hansi. Also the three backing vocalists one Looks a bit like Floor Jansen?. That's because it's her sister Irene Jansen.

Maggy might sometimes sound a bit scary on stage, but she is such a nice and kind person. I got the chance to talk to her in Tilburg before one of the shows in September. Especially this concert is worth watching in its entirety to get an overview of Arjen's work since it was a Best Of Ayreon show and the first official concert after 22 years. They play songs from many albums and even a few Star One (another of Arjen's projects) songs. If you go through the playlist in order, every new singer will be announced on the big video wall.
Maggie Luyten is the harsh singer , the Backing singers , all top notch , called Aryen angels . Marcella Bovio , Lizette van den Berg and Irene Jansen ( Sister to Floor)
Here in Europe are Musicals in the theater still very popular, from the setups of the lion king till Oklahoma, Modern and Old are Art, everything where good singing and music were played we will/want to see it.
feel that Europeans have a musical theater gene. Floor Jansen for instance, spent 6 years at the great Tilburg music school in Holland, studying music theater with her final year done in the opera conservatory. her goal always metal. I believe that European history is filled with music theater to a much greater extent than ours(certainly many more centuries than ours) hence my opening remark. I also believe that Europeans have a much greater access to music education than we do. Good reaction, but your sound is a little off, got a bit of music in a barrel sound in the playback
funny that you mention musical theatre...Floor Jansen studdiet oprah and musical theatre at the concevatory after her bachelar at rock academy....did you notice floors sister Irene as background singer?
I‘m a life long musical theatre nerd who got into metal in my mid twenties precisely *because* I started noticing the similarities to musical theatre. I always thought heavy music just wasn’t for me, without ever really giving it much of a chance. Turns out, it’s really just about adjusting your listening habits. I think the overlap between metalheads and musical theatre fans is greater than people think.
The writer behind Ayreon, Arjan Lucassen is the writer of the text and music. And he also pics the singers who perform a certain part of the lyrics etc. It's a collaboration of many. But the main man is Arjan Lucassen, he started Ayreon.
Interesting observation about musical theater. I think even West Side Story by Bernstein and Porgy and Bess by Gershwin were at the time very progressive musical productions (and I still love to hear that music). What I love when seeing these Ayreon live performances is to see how all musicians on stage enjoy the moment, must be a highlight in their career to join together on stage.
No question these vocalists are absolutely amazing. However, I would like to draw your Attention also to the band. All together sounds absolute world class. 🎉🤘🎶🖖
If you're interested in hearing other female heavy vocal singers I would suggest people like Jinjer, Melissa Bonny (of Rage of Light/Ad Infinitum) [my personal favorite], and Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy). Another good reaction!
Why wouldn't fans of metal and metal performers be interested in musical theatre? I think you'll find we have diverse tastes and can respect all genres of well crafted music. That other guy is Tommy Karevik of Kamelot and Seventh Wonder. He's really amazing.
It does not sound sill at all David. Much of Arjen's creations are a type of Broadway metal play. Vocalists playing roles in the story. That is Maggie Luyten the Belgian belter. If you want to check one of the 3 ladies singing the chorus parts, check out this link to Marcela Bovio (curly red hair) doing a live studio one take of her cover of Muse's "Muscle museum". Stunning! ruclips.net/video/LpvAhy6mSP4/видео.html - Muse - Muscle museum (symphonic cover by Marcela Bovio)
I think it`s already all said about this song and the phenomenal singers-but as you mentioned "hardcore music with female singers" and that you`re feared of it, because it might be "screechy" (and you enjoyed Maggi`s "lower edge") i think you`re ready to meet Tatiana(Jinjer), Alicia (Arch Enemy) and Melissa (Ad Infinitum and others). For Tati try "Pisces" (ruclips.net/video/SQNtGoM3FVU/видео.htmlsi=qHhRQW_NPBEVmfJa ), for Alicia i suggest "Handshake with Hell" (ruclips.net/video/dsuhfOD7emE/видео.htmlsi=nDgxFrc_OQ6d_2cN) and for Melissa "Twilight of the Thunder God (Amon Amarth cover)" (ruclips.net/video/5uBgxgsRQXA/видео.htmlsi=KZIFwHMHzTe54wCU) and her collab with Feuerschwanz "Ding (Seeed cover)" (ruclips.net/video/WmlshlqXD54/видео.htmlsi=GPvWqD3pOVgloTRS a glimpse into german medieval metal, another watchworthy rabbit hole) as a start......keep up the good work :)
Thanks for your comments on my voice ;) cool video !

Why not Twisted Coil?
The first of these Ayreon live concerts was a full on musical theatre production of the Ayreon album The Human Equation.
"The other guy" is Tommy Karevic from Kamelot / Seventh Wonder. With the exception of Maggy Luyten all singers were also featured on your first Ayreon song, as this is the 3rd track of the album The Source.
Please do the whole Universe show, it shows a fantastic variety of Arjen's music, every single song is amazing and so well performed.
European metal and music in general has a strong thread of operatic and musical theater embedded in it.
Magali "Maggie" Luyten can sound very gentle voiced too (mot during this concert though), she is amazing, check out Intergalactic Space Crusaders from this same concert, Maggie goes wild ;-)
If you want musical theatre and metal check out Nightwish with Floor and Henk Poort in Phantom of the Opera live at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam

Check out Eye of Ra. Everybody is there, it’s like a huge super group!!🤘🎸

The other female singer is Maggy Luyten, a Belgium singer and coach. I loved your reaction again. Did you react to 'The eye of Ra'? I reccommend it.
You've GOTTA check out Toehider, my man! Michael Mills is incredible!
Aryen often drops "the Floor Bomb" :-).
And it hits every single time 🤘🏼
Tommy is also the 2nd singer on TDTTWBD that stands out with his vocal runs.
Yep they are brilliant :)
I concur

Great reaction to a great song!

Welcome to the universe of Arjen Lucassen. Any live performances from the Electric Castle or Universe shows are pure 🔥.
If you like to explore more into femlae-fronted bands with multi-talented female singers try Ad Infinitum and Xandria.
For more of Irene, and an introduction to the band i recommend "The two gates (Universal)"
Mike Mills is a great guy, I've seen him at gigs around the city & he's very nice
I've chatted with Mike and totally agree that he's a great guy! 🌹
No question these vocalists are absolutely amazing. However, I would like to draw your Attention also to the band. All together sounds absolute world class. 🎉🤘🎶🖖
Dude listen to twisted coil live next, it will blow your mind.
Jaaah! xD

Keys useful to back up a video. The Left Arrow will take a video back 5 Seconds and the J will take it back 10 Seconds.
Arjan is according to himself heavily influenced by musictheatre. Andrew Loyd Webber being one of his favourites
If you want lower edge growls from females try nightwish song, yours is an emty hope live at wembley
Or anything with arch enemy
Or jinjer

I will kiss it for him if it gets you tondo a Toehider song one day.
