Within Temptation brings Tarja into "Paradise" with a song that inspires creating a better future for all. What makes this all the more amazing is that our patrons selected this as their one song suggestion for me to analyze recently. Thank you, Patrons!
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Within Temptation featuring Tarja Turunen for the first time, performing "Paradise”.

Same thing with Tarja and Floor, who are actually friends, or Simone and Charlotte Wessels.

    I think you named the thing I love most about the metal sphere. They all get along. They like each other, support each other, help each other. They go together on tour, they co-headline, they invite each other on stage, or to feature on songs. They could see each other as the competition, but they don't. We're far from the pop music industry famous feuds, like Katy Perry vs Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey vs Jennifer Lopez.... It's a healthy and caring musical sphere and it's so inspiring.

  • @RoseForEverafter
    @RoseForEverafter 2 роки тому +19

    I see so many people claim that Tarja's not versatile just because they don't understand that her having a naturally dark, warm voice is different from her using operatic styling, so it's SO NICE to see you point out where she goes more contemporary. I'm not sure if you've checked out much of her solo work, but she's awesome! Highly recommend her cover of Supremacy for some super fun style choices she makes and some killer high notes, and also recommend her folk cover of Sleeping Sun with Steve N Seagulls to really see how she can adjust her voice to a more lowkey setting.
    As for Sharon, god I love her voice. It's grown so beautifully over the years. I know most of the stuff you've checked out from her is from their earlier discography, so you might have been surprised to hear her show off such a rich and powerful chest voice. Another great one to REALLY hear the development in Sharon's technique is the live performance of Let Us Burn. Some other fun ones are her cover of Just What I Need Tonight and her solo song Crash and Burn.
    You should really see a live performance of this song--the M'era Luna one is fantastic! I love it live, because it really shows how they each get different spots to shine and really weave in and out of each other beautifully because they have such different techniques--Sharon's brighter, more natural tone takes the forefront on the spoken verses, while Tarja's classical, dark voice comes through more strongly on those belting vocals where she can draw out those rounded vowels, like you talked about. You get to hear Sharon a little better on that big climax part when they sing it live, too, cuz I don't think a lot of people even realize she's singing it in the studio recording.
    Regarding the production, as far as I remember, WT recorded the track and then sent the demo to Tarja--so her vocals were likely layered in with Sharon's! They had like one Skype call at the beginning of the collab to discuss working together and then actually never met in person until filming this music video! That's the other great thing about seeing them perform live, to see their wonderful chemistry, because they've both talked about how they instantly clicked and became best friends and talk like every week. There's a really cute performance from Metalfest 2017 where in addition to Paradise they actually also sing WT's song Angels and Tarja's song I Walk Alone together (and sound GREAT on each other's) and there's lots of loving and complimenting the whole time. And you're so right--it really does seem like that vibe carries over into the whole community of female metal singers! I can't WAIT for Sharon's tour with Amy Lee to start, because Sharon's said they bonded insanely fast and it's sure to be an amazing time.

They always changed their sound and lyrics to become something exactly as I needed in all phases of my life. This is the band of my life. Even their most recent songs (Entertain You, The Purge, Shey My Skin and Dont Pray For Me) nailed a lot of what I feel and think today. Paradise is from their album Hydra, which have two more killer colabs - And We Run and Dangerous, this one with Howard Jones.

    This is one of my favorite Within Temptation songs. Sharon and Tarja singing together is a beautiful experience. There is at least one live version of this song where Tarja came on stage to sing with them at a festival a few years ago that you may want to check out. Their energy on stage in that live performance is electric and you can tell that they just enjoyed performing with each other. It's always fascinating to me to watch on stage interactions when a band has a guest singer come on. Tarja and Sharon were having the time of their lives together, and the pure joy that was written on their faces is a testament to how they get along offstage.

      "Misi" Honestly, If I hadn't got into Evanescence, I wouldn't have got into Nightwish and Within Temptation. People don't talk about this a lot but Evanescence is probably the most influential and overlooked band of the past 20 years that got many American teenagers into Power, Symphonic, Gothic and Black Metal

    This is the way Sharon usually things, at least in the last 12 years or so. She became more chesty, and singing with a lot more mixed voice as well. In her earlier music with within temptation, she was much more of a light head voice singer. All beautiful styles. TARJA has been versatile for a very long time. She does sing a lot of Pop style techniques, not just classical as heard detractors would say.

    I remember when this single came out (honestly, it feels like last week, not eight-odd years ago, haha!) Whenever there’s a collaboration by ladies in the metal world it’s bound to be pretty great, but I near lost my mind with the announcement of this one. (I may have audibly shrieked at the time.) The front women of my top two favourite bands singing together! ❤️‍🔥 It makes me sad that I’ll never get to see them perform it together live and I’m super jealous of those who have! Your face, once again, perfectly encapsulates everything I feel when listening/watching. 😍
    And yes, no expense is seemingly ever spared as Within Temptation have developed their production and music videos over time - they’re always top notch. There are a couple of videos of the ‘making of’ this video, and one of their accompanying photoshoot which are fun to watch too.

    thanks for doing this video, I recently found out that Nightwish has a new singer and wanted to hear Tarja, and I've never heard this song. really takes me back, thanks for the breakdown. I too am a sucker for the operatic sound that comes from the former Nightwish singer, and Floor is great- their new singer is great, but i really am floored when I hear Tarja perform. I love metal music and her voice being so "dark" lends itself well to the genre.

  • @carlcopsey3173

    I've heard this song several times. I've been a fan of Within Temptation and Nightwish since the release of their first albums respectively.
    I didn't realize how powerful this song was. This reaction has given me a newfound perspective on this song. And I'm not one who doesn't pay attention to a songs theme or story. But I missed just how powerful this song really is. Thank you for showing this.
    Now, if you would only do Steelheart. I am so surprised that in all this time you have not done so! Easily one of the best vocalist in the '80s and rarely can anyone hit a higher, cleaner note and so beautifully, then the vocalist of Steelheart. He even has a story, tragedy, that would fit well in the narrative of the reaction. I personally would start with the live version of "She's Gone". You may take issue with the fact that he chews gum and sings at the same time! LOL! But without a doubt, one of the most impressive heavy Rock vocalists of that era.
    I understand you always get requests on these comments. And it can certainly be overwhelming. But this is one that you do not want to miss out on. It's the only request that I can think of that you would be missing much! So, you must experience this vocalist. Research the accident that he was in that had to do with his voice. This video was well before that time. He was in a stage accident and after that, he could never sing exacly the same again. It affected him in that way.

Anyway, fascinating as always, thank you!

When they are touring I tend to go see them. I know the band almost 20 years now. Tarja I have known since her Nightwish days. She has a very special voice.
    Both remain some of the most beautiful woman in the metal scene, voice and looks, and they deserve all the love they can get. Within Temptation is a Dutch band but they are really not known there. IMO this has to change.
