  • One of Tommy Karevik's favorite songs of the Kamelot era about the importance of never giving up on yourself or the people around you, and that you can always make a difference in someone else's life. I just absolutely LOVE and ADORE that message, and am so excited to analyze not only this but speak with Tommy in an interview right afterwards!
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Kamelot performing "Under Grey Skies" for the first time, featuring Charlotte Wessels!

    Also, Charlotte is close with a lot of the TCV All-Stars. She's friends with Simone Simmons, Alissa White-Gluz, Elize Ryd, Sharon Den Adel, Melissa Bonnie, Marko Heitala, and Floor.

    Speaking of Kamelot, you should check out also some of their earlier albums with original singer Roy Khan.
    He left the band because he suffered from a massive burn-out, some years ago but he recently started singing again with his first band Coneption and is also on one of Arjen Lucassen´s Star One albums.
    Kamelot is one of the rare cases of a band, which had not one but 2 exceptional vocalists singing for them.

    Happy Oaks Day from Kentucky (and from Elizabethtown therein) Elizabeth, and Happy Derby Day tomorrow! I’m so excited to see this reaction, as I just watched The Gathering from The Monsters of Rock featuring Marco Hietala. I hope I spelled his name correctly. It was an amazing performance that I think was alluded too in another comment. Thank you so much for being who you are and doing what you do! We love you.

    This version is actually way better than the studio version. I think Tommy is very underrated as a vocalist, and while I loved Kahn, I feel Tommy's voice is more versatile. Top marks for this song.

    I'm such a fan of Charlotte and Tommy. Have been lucky to see both live in their respective bands! If you get a chance, there is a Kamelot song called Somewhere In Time, with the previous singer (Roy Khan) and Simone Simons from Epica. Very different (Simone is an incredible singer) but just as beautiful.

    • @databloom70
      @databloom70 2 года назад +1

      The Kamelot song with Roy and Simone is called The Haunting. And yes, Roy's voice with Simone's is pure honey. Better in my opinion than Tommy and Charlotte. Simone and Roy much more into classical opera style. Tommy's ballads sound like they belong in Disney movies.

    Charlotte Wessel and Melissa Bonny with the cover of Enya's hit "Let it be" together with the rest of the Dark side of the moon is a really awesome duet!

    His vocals in Kamelot are really good. His vocals in Seventh Wonder are on another level.
    This song is beautiful. The studio version also features the musicianship of Troy from Nightwish
    I absolutely love how giddy and excited you get over certain aspects of a song

    I absolutely love this live version of this song, as you said Tommy and Charlotte really blend together so well. It would be great to see a reaction just to Charlotte though, she is an awesome singer. I would suggest We are the Others as one to listen to, it's Charlottes reaction to the senseless death of a young Goth Girl in England and can get very emotional, also The Gathering (Live at the Masters of Rock) , Stardust and Burning Bridges.
    Also recently Charlotte and Melissa Bonny did a version of "May it Be" with Dark Side of the Moon that's pretty awesome

    Tommy is amazing and always a joy to hear. Charlotte's voice is always exciting to hear. If you want to hear a couple super vocalists at work you should check out Charlotte and Mellissa Bonny's cover of May it Be with Dark Side of the Moon. Or for a littel different vocalizations Charlotte with Delain has a couple duets with Marco from Nightwish, specifically The Gathering from Monsters of Rock.

    @aidaneckart5054 2 года назад

    That last chorus just makes you feel that special kind of way and then his high belt on "die for that someone" is so passionate and powerful.
    On the flip side, I've never liked the ending of this song. Just the way it drops out. Such a big ending into nothing. Definitely artistic and I feel I understand the meaning of them ending on "what kind of fool am I" but I just feel so unresolved.

  • @Imaginary257
    @Imaginary257 2 года назад +6

    Please please please check out more Charlotte Wessels! I second those suggesting Soft Revolution - beautiful song! And from Delain, I would also go for Masters of Destiny. She has also collaborated with many people you know, including Marko Hietala and Alissa White-Gluz.
    I would also absolutely love it if you did a Tea Time Interview with her, simply because she is the most wonderful and genuine human being 😊

    Charlotte. Your analysis is simply amazing. Your musical education and your own talents are stunning and I hang on your words. Please do a review of Jordan Smith and his video from 6 years ago entitled Stand in the Light. He's a national treasure and a naturally gifted singer. He's also very humble about his talents. Thx

    I worked as one of the concert staff for KAMELOT's live show in Korea ... Everything was so busy but such fond memories ... Youngblood was so chill and wise , like a great leader should be ......
    I was also given the task of finding a "vegan" restaurant (not very common at the time) around the area for a certain "Blue haired" guest vocalist member ... she was ranting about the shows in Japan just before coming to Korea ... she saw some certain fans that came to ALL the concerts and casually asked : "will you come to Korea too ?" smiling , their answer was : "NOOO ... never ... we hate Korea" ... she was like "why ?" ... and I was like : "i'm not surprised at all" ...... 🤣
    Anyway , the concert ended well and everybody had a great time before leaving 1 day later ......
    I was so proud to have personally helped the vegan member ... because she wasnt well known by then but short time later became known worldwide by becoming the new vocalist of ARCH ENEMY ......
    Thank you for another great video and having much giggles ... Cheers and pops to Lady Charisma ......

    Gorgeous reaction. I love Charlotte Wessels so much (but patreon is beyond me at the moment, but all respect to anyone going the indie route). What is less evident in this song is that she does tend to use an interesting nasal twang a lot and, I will assume from her native language, often subs "de-" for "th-" words. Not a criticism, just an interesting and instantly identifiable style choice.
    My favourite from her is one, sadly, you probably can't react to without permission. She did a duet with Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy (they have worked together a number of times) that is all clean and the way their voices blend and weave together is just divine. It is called "Lizzie" and is on the album she released ... last year was it? It is so achingly beautiful and absolutely worth the time and trouble.

    • @jo_g.germany
      @jo_g.germany 2 года назад +3

      I joined her Patreon hoping for more metal. That hasn't really happened, but I'm just blown away by every song she's released while on her own. Not metal at all, but not a single song disappoints! My favourite stays however Soft Revolution. It showcases everything I love about her and her voice.

    • @stevenscharmer1765

    This is one of the songs that I always suggest / recommend to everyone when I'm talking about Tommy's work with Kamelot. I'm fairly sure I also suggested it to you (in a comment on one of your other videos), and I'm glad you're enjoying the song.

  • @nahnotsomuch2292

    Definitely need to get an interview with Roy Khan and do a video analyzing one of the new Conception songs. As much as I miss Roy in Kamelot, the stuff he's been doing since they reformed Conception has been outstanding as well.
