Yannis sure is an amazing singer, and Beast in Black is a fun band. This version is still like a demo of what he can do with his voice, and that's it. It was technically great, like an fancy new supercar model, but I still prefer my old Mustang. It was stylish like a design house, but didn't have the warmth of a Home. I liked it as it was, a demo, but I didn't like it as an interpretation of the song.
I understand why you initially were so taken aback by this performance, especially due to the singer’s particular tone. It is not that he “doesn’t sing in his real voice”, though. We all, men and women, have two equally valid vocal mechanisms: “chest voice”, or “mechanism 1” as phoniatricians call it, which is the voice part we use to speak; and the softer, more floaty “head voice” or “mechanism 2”, which is sometimes (incorrectly) called “falsetto”. This singer is using more of a head voice coordination, which is understandable as he is singing almost all the time in a VERY high range for a man. However, Floor Jansen (and every singer who goes really high) uses her head voice a lot too, but since she is a woman and her larynx didn’t grow that much when she hit puberty, her “break” between both mechanisms is a few steps higher, so she doesn’t need to use it that often in the same range; and most importantly, mechanisms 1 and 2 sound much more similar (although not equal) in tone in women that in men. When a man “changes gears” from chest to head it is sometimes very noticeable, because the timbre in men uses to be very different between both registers. That’s why sometimes he could seem to be singing in a voice that “isn’t really his”. Also, in his particular case, he has a very clear, piercing and shrill head voice, which makes a stark contrast whith his deeper and “manlier” chest voice. All that said, he is doing an OUTSTANDING job here nontheless. He is singing in a countertenor range, and sustaining very high notes even for most countertenors! (and I know this because I am a countertenor myself, although a classically trained one :P). The problem I see here is, metal style favors a very piercing, twangy, guitar-sounding voice, and that is not the most advisable way to go if a man who doesn’t have a naturally light and shrill chest voice (which seems to be the case with this singer, who has a very rich and resounding chest mechanism, not really deep but quite “manly” sounding) wants to unify his two registers. What I would advise him would be to look for a darker, rounder, more velvety head voice, and to try to make his chest voice softer and lighter; that way his “two voices” would sound much more similar to each other. But then maybe he would end up sounding like an operatic countertenor and not metal at all XD. Excuse me for all this rant, but you seem like the kind of people who appreciates this kind of things. Very honest and respectful reaction on your part, as always. I’m becoming a fan of you! Hugs from Spain!
Yannis is an amazing singer. He is a Greek in a Finnish band. His vocal range is out of this world. I saw Beast in Black open twice for Nightwish and both times amazing. Their music is very catchy and powerful.
You guys look so puzzled! I can't stop laughing!! You should check out some Beast In Black. Yannis Papadopoulos use a lot of falsetto in his vocals. And he is damn good at is as well!
Personally I love the way his voice sounds because it doesn't sound gender specific or 'typically male' . Usually high male voices can sound to bright or screechy if you know what I mean, but I love how his voice still has that softer tone to it. And a bonus that he can still add that small growl if needed :)
I'm so thankful for this upload. My goodness! What a voice! I already follow y'all but I just happened to see the title in my feed and insta-clicked. Then I went to his channel and insta-subscribed.
If you ever get the chance to see Beast In Black live then grab that chance with both hands, I saw them opening for Nightwish in London last year and it was a blast!!!
The first verse or two with the head voice was a bit iffy for me, but yeah enjoy when he gets into his own voice a bit more (after "into the blue memory"...)
Jennifer Madera Maybe the first two verses, but his “My fall...” in mixed voice is absurd, and I don’t know if even Floor would sound that good coming out of her typical head voice into something more forceful.
Nice reaction. Beast in Black was support band to Nightwish in European tour between 2.11.-15.12.2018 (29 concerts). I guess Yannis got many possibilities listen how Floor does this song, and maybe got idea from there to do it himself also??? Specially, cos he follows Floor´s way, not Tarja´s or Anette´s way to sing this song.
The band "Beast in Black" opened for "Nightwish" in Amsterdam when I went to see ""The Decades Tour" 😎😍🌹👍 A guitarist left "Battle Beast" with artistic differences and founded "Beast in Black" and asked this Greec Yanis to be their frontman. Do you know the song "Blind and Frozen" ???
Beast in Black is great! I hope to see you react to some of their original music! Nice! And yes, this is his usual range and tone in Beast in Black too, it's very unique.
And know that I've seen it; I'm glad to tell you that like others, I saw them opening for Nightwish last year as well, and believe me or not, they were the stars that evening, making the Nightwish performance following up feeling lackluster (and I'd have never thought possible that I would say that). To me, they have the potential to be the next big thing here in Europe, because like Sabaton and Powerwolf, they can make their audience go from 0 to 100 with the first note played (and more importantly, hold that speed up until the last note played. They are unbelievably awesome live.
"I don't know what he sounds like" much like the question of "what's his vocal range?" the answer is pretty much yes. I think there's an interview kicking around where he admits he has a 7 or 8 octave signing range. Mix that with the fact he's attending the University of Macedonia for operatic theater and he probably has one of the most flexible and versatile voices in music.
This cover is fantastic. His voice is just ridiculous. I'd still love for you to react to the version with Anette. Watch Nightwish Ghost Love Score - Hartwall Arena
Many seem to have said it already, but I can't hold myself from promoting Beast in Black too. I was introduced to their first single "Blind and Frozen" and was sold almost the second it started. It has got all the elements a great song needs, and it immediately made me their fan. Yannis shows his talent in that one! Now there are two albums of total blast from BiB. I recommend "Blind and Frozen" and "Beast in Black" for heavier stuff, but when in need of ballades, "Ghost in the Rain" & "Oceandeep" will do the thing. The latter has nice parts that bring some Nightwish stuff like "Swanheart" into mind (with Troy playing a flute in Decades-tour). A reaction to Beast in Black please! :)
Well now you should react to his band Beast in Black :P I suggest a song ,,Blind and Frozen", it really show his vocal range (and this guy has really impressive vocal range!).
@@UltraCasualPenguin I mean, Dimash isn't the only singer with 6+ octave range. Yannish has 4+ octave range, but it's how he use his voice that makes him special
From hell with love is another great example of the Yannis bushwhack. It was my first introduction to his full vocal talents and I'd suggest you take a look.
Woah!!!! I suggested Beast in Black or Battle Beast and a couple days later we get a Yannis cover?! I would like to believe I did this haha you too are great as always!!
Haha yeah I heard you said Dylan (and thanks dylan!!) but you and wolfkain are just the best so I decided “my suggestion” lol would be the start of our friendship hahaha never stop with your videos!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
So Yannis is the frontman for the band *Beast In Black*. I actually managed to see this band, be the support band FOR Nightwish back in December 2018. They announced before their last song, if anyone wanted to meet them for a picture or autograph, they'd be at a certain area after Nightwish had played. I managed to get a selfie, all their autographs and actually hang out with Yannis for a bit after because I knew him originally FROM youtube (You was correct that he has a youtube channel). I'd love to see your reaction to Blind And Frozen!
I think Yannis was trying to mimic Floor a little but it is a lot of his own style there also - like most people commenting here i too saw them when beast in black toured with nightwish although i saw them in Manchester. Yannis has a crazy range in particular the high notes. Bit unfair to label him a power metal singer though - joakim brodie/bruce dickinson are prob the main 2 known power metal singers and he's not their style. As below i also recommend Blind and Frozen by beast in black - Yannis' voice is in full glory and you'll be blown away in the first 15 seconds of that song!
Yannis has a pretty cool style. In Beast in Black he goes from a sweet, sugary falsetto to going pure Rob Halford. On their Killed by Death cover he even sounds surprisingly similar to Lemmy for someone with his voice.
Wait, Killed by Death is a cover? With your mention of Lemmy, makes me think the original is my Motorhead. That may explain why I haven't heard the original, I'm not a huge fan of Motorhead.
There are several Beast in Black songs. My first sight of Yannis was Blind and Frozen. Another ballady types track is Oceandeep. Their most recent album is very '80s vibed. Although he probably went softer for the song he definitely does it a fair amount in his bands music.
I guess it's time for a Best in Black reaction now, haha! I cannot recommend the song "Beast in black" enough, it hits hard, awesome musicianship and his voice is strong as all hell.
My understanding is (I might be wrong) is that he was just a singer, and posted a couple of cover songs on RUclips, and when Anton Kabanen was forced out of Battle Beast and was forming his own band, he saw them and asked Yannis to be the singer. Check out "Blind and Frozen" from Beast in Black to get a better idea of his sound!
You guys should really check out Beast In Black, Yannis is an absolutely incredible singer, but that band was founded by the guitarist, Anton, who is currently among the best guitarists out there. He writes all their songs, and he combines fantasy themes with super catchy 80's pop/rock cliches and brings that out in a modern metal form.
Yannis is very versatile with a wide range. As a singer, I definitely am amazed at what he's put out there so far and am excited to see what comes next.
Nice version of my most favorite song. And i think Yannis got some advices from Floor and Nightwish and he heard the song performed live several times, becaus Beast in Black was the pre-band of Nightwish's last European Tour in 2018. I was there in Nürnberg/Germany in November. And Beast in Black did a really good job to heat the crowd before the "Kings of Melodic Metal" entered the stage. Keep going with your reactions - especially from Nighwish songs. Would love to hear your reaction to "Sleeping Sun" by Floor and "Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red" from Marco. Greets from Germany
Παμε μωρη πατριδα :) Yannis is an amazing vocalist....u should watch some older covers he has (also his work with Beast in Black)...his progress is astonishing....this performance is purely perfection
The first time I heard Beast in Black was the song Blind and Frozen and I was listening with the video minimised. I honestly thought the lead vocalist was female. This guy has an amazing range!
"Into the blue memorYYYYY". I really like the way he transforms at the end of that sentence. It's like he's had enough of "fragile and cautious" way of singing and it's time ad some power into it. Transition is awesome.
You guys out to check out the Hu - wolf totem, they're a Mongolian folk metal / rock band, also they're new as well, they're style is very unique. Also that show you mentioned I believe was "world's got talent"
WAAATTTT!!!! (Rough translation what the fuck am I hearing, Just when I thought I heard everything from this song this happens... MIND BLOWN)!!! Sistah really need to start having those box of tissues at the ready, like all the time 😂😜😂. I find that Yannis sits in between Tarja and Floor very comfortably. In terms of Yannis’ natural range he’s more comfortable in part two of the song (5:35 to end) as that is his more natural range. If you wanna check anything out from beast in black may I suggest blind and frozen and born again. Also worth noting he also did a cover of Sahara by Nightwish which is also fucking incredible. Beast in black actually toured with Nightwish during the European/UK tour with the decades album. My dream would be when Nightwish promote the next album which is coming out in 2020 that beast in Black tour with them again and bring Yannis out for Ghost Love Score and duets with Floor, everybody would lose their shit and goddamn mind. Anyway thanks for the reaction awesome as always 🤘❤️🤘
Never heard a guy with such a high voice. I thought he was lip synching until that 2nd verse. In your defense, I think anyone hearing him for the first time will be shocked.
Forget Beast in Black. You need to check out the vocal performance he did last year for a band called Warrior Path. Easily my favourite album of 2019. Get on it everyone you won’t be disappointed.
Definitely give a listen to Beast in Black, ‘Blind and Frozen’ or From Hell With Love’. Yannis is a fantastic vocalist, definitely from the Rob Halford school of influence, and definitely needs to be judged on more than just one well-executed cover. 👍🤘 (definitely)
Dear Sistah and Wolf, Yesterday I just stumbled upon your profound reaction video on The Greatest Show On Earth. And now it is down... Please, I beg you, please!! revise your video in such a way, that you can upload it again. Your analysis was such an eye-opener! It would make me so happy! Best greetings!
not sure if you know, but he also covered sahara by nightwish, and i love the NW version but let me tell you, i genuinely think he sounds best on it. its worth checking out imo
I agree with all saying you should react to Beast in Black. Blind and Frozen is one of their best for sure, but also get Oceandeep in there. Let's make Sistah cry again. xD
Great reaction! Please Listen to berserker, the fifth angel or zodd the immortal from beast in black for more heavy stuff and Blind and Frozen or This is War (those are my favorites from them) to have the whole picture!!! Greetings from Greece!!!
Lol you are all so wonderful!😬 Some of your comments have me laughing😂😂😂 If you want to hear my after reaction-- honest opinion about this cover, you may want to join me on Twitch today, lol because I will be discussing my thoughts after hearing it again, during my chit-chat vibe session😜❤ Www.twitch.tv/halflifesistah
Wolf is like: is this for real? (Not sure if it's a good or bad sign 😂) Sistah: what?! Me: same here, both, I don't know how to react, but I couldn't stop laughing for the first minute or so 😂

Great reaction suggestion!
Well, Wolf?😁😁😁😁
I liked it.
Yannis sure is an amazing singer, and Beast in Black is a fun band.
This version is still like a demo of what he can do with his voice, and that's it.
It was technically great, like an fancy new supercar model, but I still prefer my old Mustang.
It was stylish like a design house, but didn't have the warmth of a Home.
I liked it as it was, a demo, but I didn't like it as an interpretation of the song.
I never imagined this getting covered by a guy.. he nailed it!
*You both should really react to : BEAST IN BLACK --- "Blind And Frozen" or "From Hell With Love".*
Yes! Both are great!
Most certainly!
The first song off Berserker is also very good. A Judas Priest song not played by the band if I ever heard one ;)
How to confuse anyone who isn't aware of Yannis' Vocal range.
"born again" would also be great to heart him singing in a lower voice as well
I understand why you initially were so taken aback by this performance, especially due to the singer’s particular tone. It is not that he “doesn’t sing in his real voice”, though. We all, men and women, have two equally valid vocal mechanisms: “chest voice”, or “mechanism 1” as phoniatricians call it, which is the voice part we use to speak; and the softer, more floaty “head voice” or “mechanism 2”, which is sometimes (incorrectly) called “falsetto”.

He can crawl, he sings low, he sings high. He's very good guys.
Good? Truly your are thing of understatements.
Beast in Black is awesome. They have a cool retro metal vibe to their music. Yannis is a talented vocalist for sure.
He made an amazing job ! I always get goosebumps when I hear this cover 😊
I saw Beast In Black last summer when they toured with Nightwish on their Centuries tour.
It was awesome!
He also did a cover of "Sahara," beautifully might I add. definitely worth checking out.
You guys look so puzzled!
I can't stop laughing!!
You should check out some Beast In Black. Yannis Papadopoulos use a lot of falsetto in his vocals.

He is a natural soprano so he is actually singing by using his normal register right there.
Saw him on live in Spain 2months ago, he has that voice and much more, he is fucking talented
I'm so thankful for this upload. My goodness! What a voice! I already follow y'all but I just happened to see the title in my feed and insta-clicked. Then I went to his channel and insta-subscribed.
Yannis is awesome.
First time viewer. I love the combo, she´s the emotional "WOW" and he´s the analytical "Yeah i expected this" guy. xD
Great stuff guys, keep it up!
Ohhhh I like this!!!
If you ever get the chance to see Beast In Black live then grab that chance with both hands, I saw them opening for Nightwish in London last year and it was a blast!!!
I love her reaction!
Beast in Black opened for Nightwish on last tour.. I would love to see Floor and Yannis rock this as a duet.
The first verse or two with the head voice was a bit iffy for me, but yeah enjoy when he gets into his own voice a bit more (after "into the blue memory"...)

I have'nt seen more puzzled people then this after a song 😁
Yannis is very versatile with a wide range. As a singer, I definitely am amazed at what he's put out there so far and am excited to see what comes next.
For everyonr who says Wolf talks too much (FYI he doesn’t) here you have Wolf speechless 😂
That’s pretty much how he sounds

WAAATTTT!!!! (Rough translation what the fuck am I hearing, Just when I thought I heard everything from this song this happens... MIND BLOWN)!!! Sistah really need to start having those box of tissues at the ready, like all the time 😂😜😂.
I find that Yannis sits in between Tarja and Floor very comfortably.
In terms of Yannis’ natural range he’s more comfortable in part two of the song (5:35 to end) as that is his more natural range.
If you wanna check anything out from beast in black may I suggest blind and frozen and born again.
Also worth noting he also did a cover of Sahara by Nightwish which is also fucking incredible.
Beast in black actually toured with Nightwish during the European/UK tour with the decades album.
My dream would be when Nightwish promote the next album which is coming out in 2020 that beast in Black tour with them again and bring Yannis out for Ghost Love Score and duets with Floor, everybody would lose their shit and goddamn mind.
Anyway thanks for the reaction awesome as always 🤘❤️🤘
Never heard a guy with such a high voice. I thought he was lip synching until that 2nd verse. In your defense, I think anyone hearing him for the first time will be shocked.
He did really good.
I hope we sometimes see a duet with Yannis and Floor singing this song.
Forget Beast in Black. You need to check out the vocal performance he did last year for a band called Warrior Path. Easily my favourite album of 2019. Get on it everyone you won’t be disappointed.
I love your reactions and in depth discussion, but the highlight by far is the removal of the earphones noises.. gets me every time
Lol, most people miss that! Wolf will be happy to read your comment. Thank you, sugah😁😘🤗❤✊🏾🤘🏾
Check out beast in black with same singer
Visible confusion start's at 4:54 :D
King Diamond "Sleepless Nights (Live at The Fillmore)
8 months and no Opeth. It is time. Please do ghost of perdition. Love your stuff
I think they might enjoy something heavy like Deliverance even more :>
I was not expecting that at all. Thought it was going to be a typical metal singer doing a cover.
Yannis sings with Beast in Black. Top band. Signed my "Berserker" Cd for me!..... Try their song "blind and Frozen" or "Ghost in the Rain"!?
Do Beast in Black- Blind and Frozen it's an awesome example of his talents.
Big surprise coming in 2020
Definitely give a listen to Beast in Black, ‘Blind and Frozen’ or From Hell With Love’. Yannis is a fantastic vocalist, definitely from the Rob Halford school of influence, and definitely needs to be judged on more than just one well-executed cover. 👍🤘 (definitely)
Dear Sistah and Wolf,
Yesterday I just stumbled upon your profound reaction video on The Greatest Show On Earth. And now it is down... Please, I beg you, please!! revise your video in such a way, that you can upload it again. Your analysis was such an eye-opener!
It would make me so happy!
Best greetings!
I really think you both should watch Nonpoint. They are amazing. I think they you both would enjoy anything they do.
Yannis is amazing!!!
not sure if you know, but he also covered sahara by nightwish, and i love the NW version but let me tell you, i genuinely think he sounds best on it. its worth checking out imo
If you want to listen to Yannis in his normal habitat, you gotta check out "Blind and Frozen" by Beast in Black. There's a music video of it on YT :)
React to Insomnium - While we sleep!
I agree with all saying you should react to Beast in Black. Blind and Frozen is one of their best for sure, but also get Oceandeep in there. Let's make Sistah cry again. xD
Also, respect to Wolf. That's my nickname too. Hukka loosely translates to "wolfie".
Great reaction! Please Listen to berserker, the fifth angel or zodd the immortal from beast in black for more heavy stuff and Blind and Frozen or This is War (those are my favorites from them) to have the whole picture!!! Greetings from Greece!!!
Tool sober live at the reading festival 1993
Lol you are all so wonderful!😬
Some of your comments have me laughing😂😂😂
If you want to hear my after reaction-- honest opinion about this cover, you may want to join me on Twitch today, lol because I will be discussing my thoughts after hearing it again, during my chit-chat vibe session😜❤
Www.twitch.tv/halflifesistah
HalfLifeSistah I missed this stream! Is there a link I could get to watch that?
Wolf is like: is this for real? (Not sure if it's a good or bad sign 😂)
Sistah: what?!
Me: same here, both, I don't know how to react, but I couldn't stop laughing for the first minute or so 😂
Yannis is phenomenal.
