@@Ashtarot77 it's just like they told Elvis he'd never make it. and just like mark Calloway and steve Williams being told by they'd never draw a dime .
Reminds me of the one and only Jordan Nike commercial I thought said something pretty profound - ua-cam.com/video/JA7G7AV-LT8/v-deo.html Don't let your losses defeat you. Lindsey's career track is a great model
Fun fact: Lindsey toured with Evanescence before the world imploded, and Amy sang this track with her each night. I guess things come full circle in a way.
From someone who played violin professionally for quite a few years, what Lindsey does is very impressive. I mean she has good technique, and I like in this song how she has some fairly fast runs but each note is distinct. Like Elizabeth said, stringed instruments tend to sound Legato, as if the notes are run together. To get a crisp, more Staccato sound you have to get fancy with the bow. That's not easy. Not at the speed she's doing it anyway. But the thing that sets her apart is her stage performances where she dances while playing. That's basically impossible. I believe she was told along the way by more than a few people that it was impossible and she should give up. This wasn't just someone who had the perseverance to achieve something difficult. It's more like being told your whole life that gravity is not optional, and you refuse to believe that and somehow learn to fly. She's an inspiration. I'd be happy with 10% of her determination.
She's a fighter. So many times she was faced with a excuse to why she should quit she instead took it as a challenge and showed that what was said as impossible is only said by those that lacked the courage to even attempt it. She is a true role model with an unbeatable spirit.
Well-stated! Yes, we even got to see her be told on TV that what she was attempting was impossible. A few years later I was getting to watch Lindsey dead center from less than 10 feet from the stage doing the "impossible". And in the years since she has just continued to smash barrier after barrier, overcoming pain and everything else in her path to do what no one else can do. Yes, with 10% of her determination I would have been 1000% more accomplished than I am.
With that vocal consistency, Lzzy supposedly has had a "one-take" reputation in the studio. She is spot on and even more amazing live, controlling all that power, all while playing her guitar. You may really enjoy Halestorm's 2019 set from the Download festival - it's an official release, so great quality and totally awesome!
The keyboardist in this video is Jason Gaviati 'Gavi' , and was Lindsey's best friend. It was absolutely amazing watching these two interact both on and off stage, check out some of the live performances of Round Table Rival with him. In her documentary 'Brave Enough' Lindsey talks about how supportive he was and how he was always there with a hug when she needed it. Gavi developed a very nasty cancer while on tour for Shatter me and passed away rather suddenly. Shortly after this Lindsey also lost her father as well, and it was devastating to her. Shatter me was all about breaking free of the her eating / mental disorders. Her third album 'Brave Enough' is about dealing with the loss of her father and Gavi. It features a lot more vocalists such as Andrew McMahon, Cara Faye, ZZ Ward, Rivers Cuomo and Lecrae. It really was an amazing and powerful album that you should check out, it tops this album as one of me favorites that she release.
If you haven't already done so, take a few minutes to yourself to watch the music video for this. The visuals really add to the story being told, and the full instrumentals add a lot to the overall power of it and really accent Lzzy's vocal power.
I agree! You really should watch the music video. I know the version you watched was the right one from a reaction perspective. But I actually like the audio in the music video more and the visuals are great as well.
This is one of those songs that makes me cry. It doesn't have to be about an eating disorder, to me it's about depression, or at least my own struggle with it.
The part for me is what I hear and how I relate. We are far from perfect as Human and each of our experiences are personal. How we connect or relate to something or someone is an expression or our experiences in life. As imperfect as we are its as equally beautiful if we choose to see it. Lyrical poetry as I've often heard it described as is a deep form of therapy for my soul. As some may think Soup is good for you while being sick. Music with Passion is My Chicken Noodle soup for my Soul. Depression can be very dark, and music such as this is opening the Black out curtains for me.. thank you ..
Your interpretation is perfectly valid, too. Lindsey may have written it about her own struggles with an eating disorder but smart songwriters like her leave the lyrics a little more on the vague side so that they can be more relatable to more people. For her the song is about an eating disorder but the actual lyrical content of the song is just about struggling with with an unnamed something that you're too afraid to tackle yourself and crying out for help from someone else. The unnamed something could be anything that the listener has struggled with now or in the past. I assume that's what she was going for. That, or the lyrics are vague because nothing really rhymes with anorexia.
It stills blows my mind how easliy Lzzy can belt some notes bringing some grit like it's nothing. It's for sure one of the most powerful voices out there in metal overall.
It’s crazy too how good she is live. Yknow on spotify you’ll hear live tracks and the vocals aren’t quite as good but Halestorm is quite the opposite. Vocals are practically the same and the backing is whats different.
Her stance is pretty common for metal singers who also play guitar. The knee props the guitar up just enough for what they need to do and obviously lean a bit forward towards the microphone. Lizzie plays guitar on a good amount of her songs so im not surprised at all if she has this habit even without playing the guitar. She seriously is talented, a huge amount of power, strong vibrato, real steady with no shakes etc. It's harder for women to sing more metal compared to men and you really just gotta have it naturally and Lizzie really really does.
Your reactions to Lzzy are the best I've seen. You are the only channel I've watched that acknowledges her singing ability for how good it is. You nerding out over it is always great to watch. Keep up the great work :D
Lindsey actually DID wrote this song for Amy Lee, but Amy at that time was on maternal leave, was pregnant and couldn't participate so Lindsey did the video with Lzzy , but after a time Lindsey and Amy actually performed this song together, and there are video's of it. Would love to see your reaction to that live video
I always love hearing a live performance from artists for the music as apposed to just a finished packaged video. However, the visual aspects of the video for this is amazing and boosts the feeling for me about the powerful emotions and intensity of this song.
@@JCrook1028 we all know that. That being said, her lyrics are open enough that they can and do easily resonate with any number of other struggles. Its part of what makes the song so amazing
I've watched this performance probably half a dozen times, but I only just realized that at the end, the moment you said "awww they like each other" Lzzy is actually saying "thank you" to Lindsey in American Sign Language. I assume she just didn't want to say it verbally since her mic was still on.
In Shatter Me's Behind the Studio video, the moment when they have first met, Lzzy firstly thanked Lindsey for doing this. And i think she kept doing that after every performance.
Awesome reaction. I feel like Lzzy doesn't get enough credit for her vocal abilities so it's nice to see her reacted to. Halestorm- Black Vultures (Acoustic version) is excellent for up close of her singing.
This isn't the only song where Lzzy does this, but you can really hear it in this tune. She really has incredible pitch. There are a few different parts where she enters and needs to immediately be in unison with the violin. Just before the "shatter" in the chorus you can hear the violin. If she was even a little out of pitch with those parts you'd immediately be able to tell due to it being unison...and she just absolutely nails it.
I've loved this song ever since it was released years ago but haven't heard this stripped down version of this song. Hoooooly. I'm not getting just chills here - freaking tears, man!
Lzzy is an absolute beast. Her voice has such of a wide range and powerful. Can't wait to meet her and her band Halestorm. Lindsey is an amazing violinist and what a great collaboration with Lzzy.
I have followed Lindsey for years now she is not just a violinist but an incredible producer of songs and the visuals she presents. Your subscribers are very knowledgeable about music and performers in general. Wonderful channel.
Yeah I saw that Evanescence with Orchestra Tour at the Pearl in Las Vegas AND the same thing but with Lindsey Sterling at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles the year after...both amazing shows!
Lizzy Hale is one of the most amazing singers I've ever heard. Zero fx zero auto tune just pure talent and skill. Destined for supper stardom. Thanks for this video
Speaking of collaborations, It's worth watching both: Amy Lee and Lindsey Stirling - "Wasted on you (Strings Sessions)" and Amy Lee with Lzzy Hale - "Break in" both are great
This hit my recommendations today (I have watched many of your videos), and I have watched this before, but I love this song and I needed something to play in the background while I got ready for a get-together with friends. What I did not expect was how much the song would hit me. My mother passed away 2 months ago and when something you reacted to came up that I thought she'd like we'd watch it together. 5 minutes in and I was sobbing, remembering when mom and I watched this and I was singing along, mom laughing because I would keep singing when you'd stop the song. It's one of the great memories I have of my mom (I'm 47, so I do have many), but this just hit me hard. I miss her so much. Thank you for bringing up this wonderful memory of my mom, even though it still hurts terribly.
I was already a fan of Lzzy Hale because of her voice but hadn't heard of Lindsey Stirling when this song came out. Not only did Lzzy turn me on to Lindsey Stirling but this is song is probably one of Lzzy's best vocal performances.
My favorite from Lindsey is : Song of the Caged Bird - Lindsey Stirling (Original Song) ua-cam.com/video/inb8MMZ-QmA/v-deo.html I always think that song now when i see the new Morissette video "Phoenix" : ua-cam.com/video/RJ8Hrl0uqkQ/v-deo.html
Funny, I was the exact opposite. Big fan of Lindsey Stirling from early on in my UA-cams experience, but had only heard vague whispers of a brewing Halestorm. The combo is undeniably powerful.
Hi Elizabeth, I've heard Lindsey perform in the past and she's a phenomenal violinist and performance artist. This is also my first time listening to Lzzy and you could feel her energy as she belted out those powerful, gritty vocals. This was an Amazing collaboration and I would Love to hear more reactions from these performers. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! ❤
I'm glad you mentioned the artist's imagery of a music video at the beginning, if you haven't watched it already the video for Shatter Me is as potent as the lyrics. Also on the topic of Amy Lee, Lindsey toured with Evanescence and my wife and I got to see Amy sing this. It was as amazing as expected.
AAArghh!!! It´s here! (I'm starting to think you are making this channel my private dreamfactory!!) Sabaton, pentatonix, lindsey stirling, halestorm! I love this!
@@whirledpeaz5758 ooh, that's a good one! But I have this tingling memory that she already did.. Might have dreamt it tho. Haven't Lindsey Stirling done some collabs with Peter Hollens too? She had quite a catalog of top quality collabs! 🤤🤤
I'm not a vocalist. Have always been a guitar player. Your positive and informative commentary is always a delight to listen to. I've learned to appreciate so many little things about vocalists, that I never knew. I can definitely see you as being somebody's favorite vocal coach. I could have used your help back in music school. :)
Been following for a while now, and I still Love her technical terminology "They wakka-wakka-wakka in a slower way..." And she's still saying "I feel like I've been spoiled by metal." That's what I love to hear from my favorite opera singer!
Just awesome. Loved the contrasts. Love how Lindsey looks very cute and sweet and Lizzy looks like a total rock star. Love how the sparse arrangement showcases Lindsay's instrumental virtuosity and Lizzy's amazing voice. Love how Elizabeth will be giggling, smiling, rocking out, just reacting on an emotional level; then will stop and dissect music, performance, and production at a nearly molecular level. I also love that Lizzy and Lindsey both just seem like they would be super cool people to talk to, and I can say for a fact that Elizabeth is a complete jo, brought t to interact with. Three of the most awesome and awesomely talented ladies you'll ever find, brought to you by TCV.
That was awesome! Thanks again for taking the time to break this down. Every time I watch one of your videos, I'm educated, excited, and encouraged to sing...unfortunately the people in my office may not appreciate that...lol
This reaction took me down a rabbit hole, then I found this gem. Elizabeth, break out the horns and the sword, Swordsman V Bard. Skyrim, Peter Hollens and Lindsey Stirling.
Was wondering if this track was going to win out once Hale storm appeared on your docket. It's how I discovered Lzzy Hale, and Lindsey Stirling was one of the very first channels I subbed to on YT. And that was without knowing she was on AGT, just followed a recommendation to "Crystallized" and thought it was amazing, so promptly fell down the rabbit hole. Thanks for selecting this next!
I had not previously seen this version. I love the music video, but this stripped-down version delivers a rawness to the anguish of the chorus that isn't apparent in the MV.
I adore lzzy as a vocalist. She is so raw and yet controlled. I would love to a reaction of halestorm- familiar taste of poison when they were live in philly
About 20 years ago I was at a show in Nashville and Lindsey Stirling was the opening act. Alison Krauss introduced her as the greatest young violinist of her generation. I was enthralled by her playing back then and she has only gotten better as she has honed her craft. This song is a powerfully strong work and a great choice for a reaction video.
@@Necrowolf81 I found Lindsey back when she first uploaded Crystallize back in 2012, I looked her up after she uploaded a few more songs and I could have sworn it said she was a few years younger than me but she is almost a full year older, wtf. She looks at least 5 years younger if not more.
It's so refreshing to have this level of reaction video. Your passion and excitement is contagious. Even though I admit my ignorance to anything related to singing. 99% of the terms you are using, I have no idea what your talking about. But when you play back, I hear what your describing for the very first time. Thank you so much. Curious if you would do a reaction to: Lorde - Everybody wants to rule the world. I fell in love with this version of this song but have no idea what it is about her voice that entrances me.
I love both Lindsey and Lizzy. Hearing them together was amazing. They compliment each other so well. The emotion pouring from both ladies is almost scary. I hope they do do other things together in the future. Elizabeth, have you ever heard Ksenia Buzina? She's a Russian singer who is also amazing. The song "One Last Cry" is a great one to react to. It's live and you have a good view of her face as she performs.
I know both Lindsey Stirling and Lzzy Hale, plus I love this song. Have not seen nor heard thus specific performance. Thank you for your reaction analysis 🧐.
Everytime I listen or sing along to this song it just gets me to tears. Everything about it is just so perfect. The lyrics, the violin, the arrangement... I played violin for like 2 years when I was a kid and had someone like Lindsey Stirling be famous at the time, maybe I would have continued. Now, I'm currently trying to get back to music as a singer and it's so fun to hear that she intended to collab on this song with Amy Lee. Growing up I used to train my head voice by singing along to Evanescence so it totally makes sense I'm having a lot of fun singing along to this. Such a beautiful song and great commentary on Lindseys and Lizzys performance!
The pure innocent joy on your face just makes me feel so fuzzy and happy. I feel like I’m experiencing these songs for the first time again myself with that unbridled wonder and it’s so lovely
Lzzy Hale is just one of those chameleon vocalists that just...can do so many different genres for different artists. Once again I gotta highly recommend doing Song of Women by The Hu feat. Lzzy. The Hu asked her to write lyrics ON TOP of the lyrics already in place, which is INSANE. What she wrote honors the original lyrics magnificently, and it's just a brilliant collaboration
New to seeing your content and I want to say that my favorite thing about your videos is definitely the fact that you go in to the history of the song-writing process in it.
I'm never ready for this song to end. This is my favorite version of the song and I'm glad you finally reacted to it. Lzzy's voice, IMO, perfectly matches the lyrics of the song and I don't think that there is anybody that could have done a better job at conveying the emotions of Lindsey's lyrics. This is why Lzzy is my favorite singer of all time. Not only is she technically brilliant, but she can make lyrics feel personal, which is the point of music, right? I've watched the original video countless times and now I can watch your video countless times. Thank you!
Great reaction, Elizabeth! This performance absolutely floored me. I have seen the official video, and in my opinion this studio performance is SO much more powerful. The emotion conveyed in Lzzy’s vocals is stunning. Thanks for doing this one.
You should watch the video too. It's soo beautiful!! Saw Lizzy/Halestorm live a few years ago. I'll never get over how absolutely insanely amazing she is live!
She's exceptional when she's on stage with someone, as opposed to singing alone in a studio. Her duet with David Draiman on "Close My Eyes Forever", to me, is infinitely better live than it is in the studio version.
This is an amazing version! I feel the studio version of this adds even more of an epic feel with the dubstep drops. It is by far my favorite song from either of them!
Thanks everyone who suggsst these songs, and you for analyzing them, even breaking down on the beat of the music. Many of these fantastic performers I would I d of never heard ofvthem until now.
I really hope you do more of halestorms songs in the future, or just songs with Lzzy, she has such a powerful voice and I can't get enough of peoples reactions to it
I'm interested in Lindsey's technique here. She is being deliberately anti-classical in playing many notes without vibrato. That takes super-accurate finger-placement and she has that down perfectly.
This song always makes me teary-eyed. Lzzy does an amazing job at making you feel the pain and emotion of the lyrics. You can feel it all if you listen. Such a great song.
Great reaction as always, I hadn't seen this performance before. Can't count the times I've watched the music video though. While we don't necessarily need a reaction to it after this, you should definitely watch it!
it is great... I think there might be issues with the copyright noise with The Song of Women... I've asked about this before at one of the true vocal teacher channels (might have been here) and I heard there were concerns about the proprietary noise that will take down a legit breakdown because it is tied to a channel that may be monitized... so you can watch the video but you aren't allowed to comment and post on a great channel. its a shame.
Absolutely love both of them, they're both just phenomenal. I've only been to one live concert in my life and Halestorm was there. 5 rows away un amplified Lzzy sounds exactly the same. She has such a powerful and amazing voice.
Lindsey does not only play the Violin and dances, so seeing her sitting on a chair playing the violin is strange... but she also sings.. check out Lindseys Original "Firefly"
Lizzy Hale is a spectacular vocalist. I listened to Halestorm's first album after hearing them on the radio and was totally impressed with her singing. I think she is one of the best new female rock vocalists. Yeah, I know they have been out for a couple years now but I have not really heard anyone lately that impresses me like Lizzy. I love your commentary on the videos you do.
You should definitely check out the music video for the song, it really puts the song in more perspective. When this album first dropped, I listened to it on repeat for weeks
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
Hearing an opera singer say "I've been spoiled by metal" ...feels so good
It hurts so right
A n d, she also said "wacka wacka wacka"...just a smorgasbord of quotables today!
Metal hides many treasures!
Just waiting for Howard Jones
Spoiled by metal...yes you have, and you will never be the same again.
Lindsey going from being told she won't make it as a dancing violinist who infuses into dubstep... to selling out shows is so amazing.
A lesson to show people who tell you can't, that you can and you will. :)
Absolutely! She’s so talented. My husband and I saw her and Evanescence live, and Lindsey’s set and collab with Amy Lee were beautiful!

Lzzy is so underrated, she's one of the best vocalists of this generation for sure!
Lzzy is absolutely not underrated!
@@sretePtraB Maybe not by you. But I guess they are saying she is not as well known as she should be. Which you can't really disagree with that
Her and Floor Jansen. Both share the throne of metal female metal vocals
"I'm gonna nerd out super right now"
Most fans of the channel: "Oh, please do!"
Right?! Please let me listen to you talk more.
I second this! "Please just do!"
Oh that is so true...when Elizabeth "nerds out" we KNOW we're in for something special...LOL
Nerd all you want, I will eat up every word.
From someone who played violin professionally for quite a few years, what Lindsey does is very impressive.

@@zeldyrrolorin9962 agreed, it looks so weird having Lindsay just sit there.
@@DrThunder2004 yeah, little weird.
Definitely agree. In this case the video actually adds to the impact of the music. You'll have even more goosebumps.
Behind the scenes video as well
This is one of those songs that makes me cry. It doesn't have to be about an eating disorder, to me it's about depression, or at least my own struggle with it.
There is a silver lining in every dark cloud. ;-)
The part for me is what I hear and how I relate. We are far from perfect as Human and each of our experiences are personal. How we connect or relate to something or someone is an expression or our experiences in life. As imperfect as we are its as equally beautiful if we choose to see it. Lyrical poetry as I've often heard it described as is a deep form of therapy for my soul.

That, or the lyrics are vague because nothing really rhymes with anorexia.
It also fits being trans and having to deal with dysphoria after puberty really, really well.
Absolutely!! I felt this DEEP!!
It stills blows my mind how easliy Lzzy can belt some notes bringing some grit like it's nothing. It's for sure one of the most powerful voices out there in metal overall.
If you love Lzzy, you're gonna *adore* Melody Cristea from Liliac!
Floor Jansen.

This song was the first time I heard of Lzzy Hale. Great song. Never heard it live before. Two very talented people
Oh man, so many feels with this video. RIP Gavi. You were Lindsey's soul. Your keyboard was the perfect match for Lindsey.
Anyone else with me. Love to see Lizzy Hale and Floor Jansen duet. Don't think the world could handle it.
They’re my two favorite singers period! I’d absolutely love to hear them sing a song like Ghost River together. Or literally anything, I don’t care!
Floor said Lzzy is one of her her favorite female singer
In one of her Quarantine QnA's, Floor says she definitely wants to do a duet with Lzzy!
Floor and Simone Simons have done duets together that were out of this world. I’d rather hear Lzzy with Simone for the starker contrast of voices.
There is a great cover of Come Undone from Duran Duran by Adrenaline Mob. Russell Allen und Lzzy Hale, two Powerhouses together, just awesome!
Lzzy is an absolute beast. Her voice has such of a wide range and powerful. Can't wait to meet her and her band Halestorm. Lindsey is an amazing violinist and what a great collaboration with Lzzy.
I'm already a fan of both. Been following Lindsey for a few years. My son's learning to play violin. As for Lzzy I mean...I'm a metalhead all my life.
I have followed Lindsey for years now she is not just a violinist but an incredible producer of songs and the visuals she presents. Your subscribers are very knowledgeable about music and performers in general. Wonderful channel.
Lindsey is featured by Evanescence in the song Hi-Lo. The also had a North America Tour as Co-Headliner.
I got to see Amy Lee and Lindsey LIVE during that tour. So much positive energy.
Oohhhanother very very good song.
Yeah I saw that Evanescence with Orchestra Tour at the Pearl in Las Vegas AND the same thing but with Lindsey Sterling at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles the year after...both amazing shows!
I got to see the Sterling/Lee tour at their Atlanta stop! It was one of the most beautiful live performances I’ve ever seen in my life!
Lizzy Hale is one of the most amazing singers I've ever heard. Zero fx zero auto tune just pure talent and skill. Destined for supper stardom. Thanks for this video
Speaking of collaborations, It's worth watching both: Amy Lee and Lindsey Stirling - "Wasted on you (Strings Sessions)" and Amy Lee with Lzzy Hale - "Break in" both are great
I would love to see "Break In" on here.
Break In is one of my favorites. I would love to see her react to it.
You should also check out "Hi-Lo" by Evanescence. She colabs with Lindsey on that track too. Its a pretty decent album all-in-all
Dude, thanks for the info!
@@neilclapp4172 yesyesyesyesyes!!!!!
This hit my recommendations today (I have watched many of your videos), and I have watched this before, but I love this song and I needed something to play in the background while I got ready for a get-together with friends. What I did not expect was how much the song would hit me. My mother passed away 2 months ago and when something you reacted to came up that I thought she'd like we'd watch it together. 5 minutes in and I was sobbing, remembering when mom and I watched this and I was singing along, mom laughing because I would keep singing when you'd stop the song. It's one of the great memories I have of my mom (I'm 47, so I do have many), but this just hit me hard. I miss her so much. Thank you for bringing up this wonderful memory of my mom, even though it still hurts terribly.
I love this performance! Really hitting it out the ballpark with the choices lately, Elizabeth. Looking forward to the premiere.
This channel has given me a much deeper appreciation for music by helping me see the skill and technique used by vocalists.
I was already a fan of Lzzy Hale because of her voice but hadn't heard of Lindsey Stirling when this song came out. Not only did Lzzy turn me on to Lindsey Stirling but this is song is probably one of Lzzy's best vocal performances.
My favorite from Lindsey is :
Song of the Caged Bird - Lindsey Stirling (Original Song)
ua-cam.com/video/inb8MMZ-QmA/v-deo.html
I always think that song now when i see the new Morissette video "Phoenix" :
ua-cam.com/video/RJ8Hrl0uqkQ/v-deo.html
Funny, I was the exact opposite. Big fan of Lindsey Stirling from early on in my UA-cams experience, but had only heard vague whispers of a brewing Halestorm. The combo is undeniably powerful.
Wholeheartedly agree!!!
I have been a fan of Lindsey Sterling since 2015. It's a nice surprise to hear Lzzy Hale for the first time. Good combo.
Yea Lindsey turned me on to Lzzy.
Lindsey collaborated with Peter Hollens on a couple of songs, too. They were really great!
Hi Elizabeth, I've heard Lindsey perform in the past and she's a phenomenal violinist and performance artist. This is also my first time listening to Lzzy and you could feel her energy as she belted out those powerful, gritty vocals. This was an Amazing collaboration and I would Love to hear more reactions from these performers. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! ❤
I'm glad you mentioned the artist's imagery of a music video at the beginning, if you haven't watched it already the video for Shatter Me is as potent as the lyrics.
Also on the topic of Amy Lee, Lindsey toured with Evanescence and my wife and I got to see Amy sing this.
It was as amazing as expected.
Wonder if we can convince Elizabeth to react to Linsey and Pentatonix cover of Imagine Dragons' Radioactive?
I like Lindsey but IMO Within Temptation's cover is better.
There is no live version, only studio.
Yes! And there's a French song she does with Pentatonix as well ... sorry don't know the exact name for it ...
@@kellystrickland7412 I think it's "Papaoutai"
@@ninadimopoulou6619 yes! That's it, but I didn't want to attempt the spelling lol
Watching Lindsey's face when she's playing and watching Lzzy is just amazing....
AAArghh!!! It´s here! (I'm starting to think you are making this channel my private dreamfactory!!) Sabaton, pentatonix, lindsey stirling, halestorm! I love this!
Wonder if we can convince Elizabeth to react to Linsey and Pentatonix cover of Imagine Dragons' Radioactive?
@@whirledpeaz5758 ooh, that's a good one! But I have this tingling memory that she already did.. Might have dreamt it tho. Haven't Lindsey Stirling done some collabs with Peter Hollens too? She had quite a catalog of top quality collabs! 🤤🤤
I'm not a vocalist. Have always been a guitar player. Your positive and informative commentary is always a delight to listen to. I've learned to appreciate so many little things about vocalists, that I never knew. I can definitely see you as being somebody's favorite vocal coach. I could have used your help back in music school. :)
Been following for a while now, and I still Love her technical terminology "They wakka-wakka-wakka in a slower way..."
And she's still saying "I feel like I've been spoiled by metal." That's what I love to hear from my favorite opera singer!
Thank you, C Chapa. This is such a sweet comment!
This song, and the voice of Lizzie do not fail to give me goosebumps
Just awesome. Loved the contrasts. Love how Lindsey looks very cute and sweet and Lizzy looks like a total rock star. Love how the sparse arrangement showcases Lindsay's instrumental virtuosity and Lizzy's amazing voice. Love how Elizabeth will be giggling, smiling, rocking out, just reacting on an emotional level; then will stop and dissect music, performance, and production at a nearly molecular level. I also love that Lizzy and Lindsey both just seem like they would be super cool people to talk to, and I can say for a fact that Elizabeth is a complete jo, brought t to interact with. Three of the most awesome and awesomely talented ladies you'll ever find, brought to you by TCV.
That was awesome! Thanks again for taking the time to break this down. Every time I watch one of your videos, I'm educated, excited, and encouraged to sing...unfortunately the people in my office may not appreciate that...lol
This reaction took me down a rabbit hole, then I found this gem. Elizabeth, break out the horns and the sword, Swordsman V Bard. Skyrim, Peter Hollens and Lindsey Stirling.
Lzzy hale is on another level vocally. She's amazing and she can do it all. She's absolutely gorgeous too.
Was wondering if this track was going to win out once Hale storm appeared on your docket. It's how I discovered Lzzy Hale, and Lindsey Stirling was one of the very first channels I subbed to on YT. And that was without knowing she was on AGT, just followed a recommendation to "Crystallized" and thought it was amazing, so promptly fell down the rabbit hole. Thanks for selecting this next!
I fell down the rabbit hole when Spontaneous Me was recommended to me by YT
It was her Zelda Medley for me, it went viral-ish at the time and I loved it, then found out she had some other good stuff too.
I had not previously seen this version. I love the music video, but this stripped-down version delivers a rawness to the anguish of the chorus that isn't apparent in the MV.
I adore lzzy as a vocalist. She is so raw and yet controlled. I would love to a reaction of halestorm- familiar taste of poison when they were live in philly
I think I'm Not an Angel is better at that Philly concert. The whole thing is good though.
Loved this song since the moment I first heard it. Izzy's vocals are awe inspiring along with Lindsay's haunting violin playing.
About 20 years ago I was at a show in Nashville and Lindsey Stirling was the opening act. Alison Krauss introduced her as the greatest young violinist of her generation. I was enthralled by her playing back then and she has only gotten better as she has honed her craft.
This song is a powerfully strong work and a great choice for a reaction video.
20 years ago? At the time, Lindsey was just 14 years old 🤔
@@luisanowagbooks7289 it was in 03 or 04. She was just a kid.
@@Tom33070 time flies...
@@luisanowagbooks7289 would not have guessed she was 34. She looks really young imo.
@@Necrowolf81 I found Lindsey back when she first uploaded Crystallize back in 2012, I looked her up after she uploaded a few more songs and I could have sworn it said she was a few years younger than me but she is almost a full year older, wtf. She looks at least 5 years younger if not more.
Lizzys flawless belts is one of my favorite things about her. This song brings it out really well.
It's so refreshing to have this level of reaction video. Your passion and excitement is contagious. Even though I admit my ignorance to anything related to singing. 99% of the terms you are using, I have no idea what your talking about. But when you play back, I hear what your describing for the very first time.
Thank you so much.
Curious if you would do a reaction to: Lorde - Everybody wants to rule the world. I fell in love with this version of this song but have no idea what it is about her voice that entrances me.
I love both Lindsey and Lizzy. Hearing them together was amazing. They compliment each other so well. The emotion pouring from both ladies is almost scary. I hope they do do other things together in the future. Elizabeth, have you ever heard Ksenia Buzina? She's a Russian singer who is also amazing. The song "One Last Cry" is a great one to react to. It's live and you have a good view of her face as she performs.
That was a great live performance. Have you ever heard of Sigrid? She has an amazing unique sound. I would love to hear your opinion.
I would suggest Dynamite from the Radio 1 Piano sessions. Anyone backing that choice?
@@michja you beat me to it!! 😁👍👍
Absolutely. Dynamite, acoustic/with piano version where you really can hear her beautiful voice.
YES more epic Norwegian singers pls xD
Sigrid doing acoustic is the stuff to listen too, she's got a good voice
Lindsey is amazing live. Her concerts are always a great experience.
I know both Lindsey Stirling and Lzzy Hale, plus I love this song. Have not seen nor heard thus specific performance. Thank you for your reaction analysis 🧐.
Really like watching your video's. Especially the metal or rock singer's honestly. Like how you break the vocals down.
God I love that song. Gives me goosebumps from start to finish
Everytime I listen or sing along to this song it just gets me to tears.
Everything about it is just so perfect. The lyrics, the violin, the arrangement...
I played violin for like 2 years when I was a kid and had someone like Lindsey Stirling be famous at the time, maybe I would have continued.
Now, I'm currently trying to get back to music as a singer and it's so fun to hear that she intended to collab on this song with Amy Lee. Growing up I used to train my head voice by singing along to Evanescence so it totally makes sense I'm having a lot of fun singing along to this.
Such a beautiful song and great commentary on Lindseys and Lizzys performance!
Ah, yes, the internet's favorite dancing violinist and her awesome colabs with great singers
The pure innocent joy on your face just makes me feel so fuzzy and happy. I feel like I’m experiencing these songs for the first time again myself with that unbridled wonder and it’s so lovely
Lzzy Hale is just one of those chameleon vocalists that just...can do so many different genres for different artists. Once again I gotta highly recommend doing Song of Women by The Hu feat. Lzzy.
The Hu asked her to write lyrics ON TOP of the lyrics already in place, which is INSANE. What she wrote honors the original lyrics magnificently, and it's just a brilliant collaboration
Mmmmm yes. And if you enjoy looking at something outside of our western singing boxes, the Hu with their Mongolian throat singing is a real treat!
New to seeing your content and I want to say that my favorite thing about your videos is definitely the fact that you go in to the history of the song-writing process in it.
Love this song! Thank you for doing a reaction to it. Wish you all the best, keep it up🙏🏼🌹
I'm never ready for this song to end. This is my favorite version of the song and I'm glad you finally reacted to it. Lzzy's voice, IMO, perfectly matches the lyrics of the song and I don't think that there is anybody that could have done a better job at conveying the emotions of Lindsey's lyrics. This is why Lzzy is my favorite singer of all time. Not only is she technically brilliant, but she can make lyrics feel personal, which is the point of music, right? I've watched the original video countless times and now I can watch your video countless times. Thank you!
Lizzy is a power house. Recently she did a Duet with Amy Lee from Evanescence called Break In. Great song from 2 powerful women.
It's a great song, but really not very recent 😂
Not recent, no, but AMAZING song. Two powerhouses together = melt in your chair amaze-balls.
7 months ago is recent enough in my eyes lmao
I swear, it is the best duet I ever heard. Highly recommended
@@Matth3w311ison they have done a version of this song 8 freaking years ago lol. The song ain't new and neither is the version together with Amy Lee 😂
Great reaction, Elizabeth! This performance absolutely floored me. I have seen the official video, and in my opinion this studio performance is SO much more powerful. The emotion conveyed in Lzzy’s vocals is stunning. Thanks for doing this one.
Everyone in that live was so prepared and so into it that’s beauty
You should watch the video too. It's soo beautiful!!
Saw Lizzy/Halestorm live a few years ago. I'll never get over how absolutely insanely amazing she is live!
Lizzy live is a completely different experience than listening to her music videos. That lady can sing
She's exceptional when she's on stage with someone, as opposed to singing alone in a studio. Her duet with David Draiman on "Close My Eyes Forever", to me, is infinitely better live than it is in the studio version.
This is an amazing version! I feel the studio version of this adds even more of an epic feel with the dubstep drops. It is by far my favorite song from either of them!
Oh you soooo have to check out Lzzy and Amy Lee, 'Break In' it's an amazing colab.
Thanks everyone who suggsst these songs, and you for analyzing them, even breaking down on the beat of the music.
Many of these fantastic performers I would I d of never heard ofvthem until now.
5:02 I dunno why, but the fact that the janitor just walks by while they're recording this kickass song is really funny for some reason...
Same !
I really hope you do more of halestorms songs in the future, or just songs with Lzzy, she has such a powerful voice and I can't get enough of peoples reactions to it
I'm interested in Lindsey's technique here. She is being deliberately anti-classical in playing many notes without vibrato. That takes super-accurate finger-placement and she has that down perfectly.
You should see her doing it while she's moving and dancing around on a stage.
This song always makes me teary-eyed.
Lzzy does an amazing job at making you feel the pain and emotion of the lyrics. You can feel it all if you listen. Such a great song.
Great reaction as always, I hadn't seen this performance before. Can't count the times I've watched the music video though. While we don't necessarily need a reaction to it after this, you should definitely watch it!
Lzzy is just plain awesome. She's definitely one of our most talented vocalists of our time
You should cover her colab with The HU some time.
it is great... I think there might be issues with the copyright noise with The Song of Women... I've asked about this before at one of the true vocal teacher channels (might have been here) and I heard there were concerns about the proprietary noise that will take down a legit breakdown because it is tied to a channel that may be monitized... so you can watch the video but you aren't allowed to comment and post on a great channel. its a shame.
Absolutely love both of them, they're both just phenomenal. I've only been to one live concert in my life and Halestorm was there. 5 rows away un amplified Lzzy sounds exactly the same. She has such a powerful and amazing voice.
I'm so glad you did this song as it's one of my favs!!
Awesome song...lovely playing...Lzzy is always awesome live! Can't wait to see her again live!
This song gives me goosebumps too. Lindsey’s violin playing is so beautiful and Lzzy’s voice is so strong
This is my first time hearing either artist and I love it. Lizzie has a hell of a voice. I'll definitely be listening to more of her
Yes more halesotrm on the channel best live performance ive ever seen! Also she is the kindest person irl
I'm learning so much about vocals, and getting to know so many new artists , love your channel and your presentation
Loved this combo. Gorgeous song and 2 epic artists. The music video is stunning too. This looks like the studio video tho. Haven’t seen that one.
The sequel a must watch.
I really enjoy watching this channel. This was one I was hoping you’d review. Thank you for doing this!!!!!
Amy Lee also sang this with Linsey on their joint tour. Both versions are great.
I loved seeing Lindsey sterling and Evanescence in concert in Seattle a few years ago she is amazing
Lindsey does not only play the Violin and dances, so seeing her sitting on a chair playing the violin is strange... but she also sings.. check out Lindseys Original "Firefly"
Thank you for reminding me of this, i had forgot about it. She also sings on her Christmas album she released a few years ago
I just subscribed because I LOVE your genuine joy in the emotional effects. To see you break into smiles and shivers.
Lzzy. Power, vocal fry, control. I love her tone. Not breathy but gritty.
Lizzy Hale is a spectacular vocalist. I listened to Halestorm's first album after hearing them on the radio and was totally impressed with her singing. I think she is one of the best new female rock vocalists. Yeah, I know they have been out for a couple years now but I have not really heard anyone lately that impresses me like Lizzy. I love your commentary on the videos you do.
You should definitely check out the music video for the song, it really puts the song in more perspective. When this album first dropped, I listened to it on repeat for weeks
Holy crap, the goosebumps! Love your channel! Keep it up, thanks!
Thank you Fredrik Olsson!
Would love to see you listen to some In This Moment! Maria Brink is a fantastic female vocalist.
