Devils choir or hallelujah!
Our play director knows you guys. Mr. Calvin Weary, he is such an amazing person! I love your music guys keep it up!
@@aarongibeau5930 , Love The Devil's Choir.
Holy smokes. Just discovered this cover. The whole band is incredible. I want to learn how to sing like this guy!!
Every year. This is the anthem. I was on the day it came out. love you cats.
Heh, Santa hat. Says, "He's really _sleighing_ that vocal."
I smell what you're stepping in.
;-)
I didn't. Two hours later: what's this on my shoe? LOL
@@TheCharismaticVoice Here's one for you: ua-cam.com/video/ABdj4dEfNNc/v-deo.html
She has the hots for his him now lol. I dont blame her either. Im not even gay but that man's voice had me thinking twice for a minute lmao
Dude she creaming her seat right now
naw you gay af bro
He’s also a nice guy. I saw them when they opened for Hinder. After STT finished, The whole band came out ahead of schedule so I could get a picture with them. We were only there to see STT. We left before Hinder took the stage.
@@mfumich They for real have gotta be some of the most humble yet talented guys ever. Saw them opening for Halestorm and they absolutely rocked it, everybody was headbanging and dancing like mad! Turned me into an instant fan for life
i agree, I think she's got a new crush :)
The man has pipes. i am a singer, and I'm not bad, but NOWHERE in this man's league
I went to High school with the singer. Genuine guy
Phil is a vocal coach himself. I am sure he would really enjoy your reaction to this!
By the way, raw vocals from these guys are just as good as the big productions. I was lucky enough to be rained out of a concert with them in the parking lot and they played some of their stuff while we waited for the concert to continue. Really sweet guys too
Lead singer *performed* this song, he didn't just sing it. Watching his face during the video he looks like he's having fun and really playing into the song. I get a very "theater" vibe from him and his performance. Very charismatic and playful performance. Brilliant.
They’re all from PA. So am I and they’re fantastic. I love Phil Freeman’s vocals. I honestly sit there and try to replicate. I can’t hit higher notes. But his lower vocals I can destroy. Much love to Small Town Titans.
Ditto...especially when i'm drunk...
I really appreciate the way you geek out on these vocalists instead of just saying "wow" "cool"
Small Town Titans are an amazing talent that isn’t getting the recognition they deserve and I truly hope they get more noticed soon cause they deserve it
Yes I am with you on that they need more recommendations
I've got them added to every Pandora station I have they are so good. Me and my daughter found them about 2 years ago and show them to everyone
They are bout the best group of all time for me, and I’ve been thru some good ones, I’m 55 now. This is the only group I listen to now and I can’t get enough!!
@@1982MCI I hear yeah and am only 32
that is SOUL
I LOVE her technical terminology; "...sort of... liquidy goopy...?" Kills me! XD Only found her a few days ago, but I became an instant fan!
It amazes me because his enunciation doesn't falter thru any part of his delivery thru any part of the song..
Brilliant..just wow
Watching this chick smile, giggle, and melt is really adorable.
"Slaying/sleighing this vocal in so many ways". Just a great joke!
If you want unexpected, check out Small Town Titans doing Hallelujah. Also, their original music is insane. Phil wrote a song called Dragonfly for his mom, who passed away, that has touched many of us beyond words. You would never think it was the same singer. Check out his completely different style with his wife as they perform as Lucille and The Wolf. The creativity and musical talent of everyone in this band is just off the charts! Go listen to tye beautiful fugue in the middle of Devil's Choir. I mean ... they are on repeat for me every day. Welcome to your new obsession. :)
I adore Dragonfly
Phil's vocal training had done him VERY, VERY well!!!
Her reaction is genuine. I can see the amazement in her facial expressions. I think she is in love. 😂
"He is slaying this vocal in so many different ways"
Yes, he is, and I think you may be turning into a metal head! I just heard part of this song yesterday on the radio, it's killer. Looking forward to hearing some more by them.
Someone is smitten with the performance they just watched... lots of heart eyes for the Grinchy boi 😍
Right😂 Small Town Titans need to see this❤️❤️
@@silverliningsrock8148 totally!
They did a version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah that is amazing.
It is another major show of their talent. STT is truly a talented group!!
Their cover of hunger strike is amazing too
I love these guys, and I get a kick out of people doing reactions to this particular song.
As well as sex and candy, all amazing covers. Hallelujah is by far my favourite.
@@hughmongus7379 I can nail that song...
Why aren't these guys on every station out there! They are amazing! And after watching the video, dayum you were informative. I never watch these thru but you killed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry this has only now come into your life. Phil's voice is one of my all time favorites... from those effortless bass notes to that exquisite scream 😍
She is having the exact same reaction I thought she would have! She is so surprised all the way thru this song, his voice is just so fricken incredible!!! I can’t get enough of this song!!!
I really dont like his voice I cringed so much when I heard it
@@Jammermt99 Someone's jealous they've never seen a woman that impressed.
@@theaberrantdon nah I just dont like his voice it hurts my ears lol
Your compassion is overwhelming and it comes off in the most ADORABLE WAYS.
I introduced Phil to the band Clutch. I remember the hug he gave me the next day. He's a great guy.
This cover is absolutely beastly!
Yaaaay I was one of the people who suggested this. I love this version so much. The lead singer has amazing vocals and range
Thank you so much for reacting to this song ❤
Yay too, I also suggested this one! It is probably my favorite version of this song. Oh thank you very much #The Charismatic Voice for doing this one!
I'm really glad this one made it to your radar. I really like what these guys have done. His Johnny Cash cover is awesome too.
Yeah these guys are Awesome. Have you heard their song " The Ride "
Folsom prison is awesome. They all did a great job.
Phil is a good guy too.
Hallelujah by small town titans is amazing!
Your joy and enthusiasm during these videos is so infectious.
You’re so right, I kept looking at her and finding myself having the same emotion and smiles without even realizing it hahaha.
I love the small town titans. There lead singer is a amazing person and super nice in real life. Saw them live a few years ago and his voice is absolutely amazing.
They are awesome! The lead singer and he’s good friend played at my birthday party 4 years ago.
first : you are so cute in that hat . Second: wow , I mean , WOW , "Small Town Titans" ! I am going to have to listen to more of them. Usually , in metal , I don't hear good annunciation like I did with these guys. I love the "Grinch" movie, one of the must sees around the holiday time . This was such a treat to listen to. Thanks for this one Miss Elizabeth and to those who recommended it. 😀🕊
They are an amazing band. He is just as good live too.
If you’ve never heard Pantera - Cemetary Gates, you should definitely react to it. Studio version
My home state flag!
Omg... Totally agree! That is such a great combination of different ranges, plus a really heavy on the heart song.
Broken:)
yes!
She has, forget if or before your comment.
We need Valhallelujah for Christmas!! NANOWAR OF STEEL BABY
YES
I am considering this for next week. I may have a surprise?
@@TheCharismaticVoice v interested
Of all the reaction style producers, I find your videos to be the most analytical and informative to the musically untrained or unskilled. It is very refreshing and allows us to better appreciate the music that we know and love! Thanks!
Thank you, Nicholas! I am glad I can come off as informative when there's so much depth to cover.
@@TheCharismaticVoice Indeed. I hope to catch you breaking down' Kurt Hugo Schneider - I Can Go The Distance' one day! A personal favourite and in my opinion a very well composed arrangement.
The groove gave me similar vibes to "Toxic Love" From the movie Ferngully: The Last Rainforest
Might I recomend a youtuber by the name of Johnathan Young. His version is epic.
Is that Tim Curry? He kills it as the monster in that!
OH MY GOSH, yes.
Also sounds a LOT like Hey Man, Nice Shot by Filter
She definitely experienced an eargasm. BTW, love how the mot juste kicked in when she finally realized the word she was searching for was "crooner."
@The Charismatic Voice Have you thought about the possibility of interviewing Phil Freeman about his vocal training and his work on this song? It obviously thrilled you, and thank you so much for sharing that--and your insight with us. You ROCK, Elizabeth!
I absolutely think you are by far the best reaction channel!!!
Thank you, Lucy. But we wouldn't be anywhere if it weren't for fans like you!
It's close. I'm afraid we need to see an Elizabeth/Julia Nilon react-off to decide.
This. Your enthusiasm is ridiculously infectious.
Yea she’s actually analyzing the voice and the music in away I haven’t seen on UA-cam before
They did a nice rendition of Johnny Cash's Folsom County Blues too!
If you want to see pure joy, watch her face. that is what pure joy looks like. side note, if you look close enough, you can see a crush developing as well. which by the way adds to this video even more.
Her face said *sploosh*. I agree.
It only took four months of pressure and a holiday season to get this onto the channel, but it was so worth the wait!
Now for Octavarium!
Quote of the year: "Intentionally GOOD"
Ok...and I thought I was excited about VoicePlay's cover. Nope. This has beatened theirs and Pentatonix's covers.
Pentatonix, I loved the backups. VoicePlay adored the solos. LOVE everything here.
ABSOLUTELY great version
I love how you get so much joy out of something completely different from what you do. :)
It's so nice to see a first look/hear of this song I've been enjoying for a couple of years now. It hits every one of my tingly parts! You were smart to listen to this before any other songs of theirs. None compare, although they are all good. Masterful rendition and one of a kind. Even after all this time and hearing it dozens of times, the looks on my face every single time are just like yours in this video. Awestruck and enraptured. 💕
Line by Line is my favorite by them.
If you pay close attention you can see the exact moment a mop and bucket was first needed!
I’ve come to believe I watch your channel for facial expressions more than anything lol you’re very expressive
Glad to see you got your Devin Townsend-inspired octopus!
Krakino is a part of the family now.
"Laaaanguorus".... yep, nailed it. Can't think of a better word for that rhythm
His voice continues to blow me away
Crazy to see a local band on here from PA. Vocals done well, wish the guitars were recorded better.
The octave is too artifacty... I get it
If you like this one, another of theirs that’s amazing is Hunger Strike. Originally by Temple of the Dog. They had Matt James from Blacktop Mojo sing on it as well, so two fantastic singers.
Absolutely!!!!
I love that version of Hunger Strike
I just heard a rendition of Hallelujah by the Small Town Titans ... and his vocal range is amazing.
For some reason I keep coming back to this video...I think it is watching her face lighting up with joy many times as this song unfolds...watching joy like that is priceless and it also kind of bleeds through into my very @soul
I'm also voting for Voiceplays version to be next :) It's quite awesome
Seconded!
I would REALLY love to see your reaction to ALICE IN CHAINS-LOVE HATE LOVE (LIVE AT MOORE) ❤ insane performance
She came at least 3 times listening to this
OMG!!! TRUE STORY!!! Had an AD BREAK around the 4:55 mark and it was the VIDEO for the song she's reviewing!!!
🤯🤯🤯🤯
Holy shit, I didn't know you reacted to this. I remember when this first came out, wanting a bunch of people to react to it. I'm glad you've done it. If I recall, I'm pretty sure the vocalist is a vocal coach as well.
Yes he is
They have a song called Dragonlfly (I think) that was about the lead singer's mom passing away that is very moving.
Their "Will It Riff" series is amazing!
Crazy thing is I remember meeting these guys while the attended college and some of the best times was karaoke at the town bar, trust me jam the rest of their music u won’t be disappointed
The timing and power in the bass lines is just stellar. That alone will have me looking into these guys.
Wintersun to follow up? Lot's of vocal variety, too. And more.
Merry Christmas to Elizabeth, Kirk and the whole gang.
The list is getting crazy. I don't know if I can commit to Wintersun this go-round. And yes, I want to hear more from these guys! Thank you for the well wishes, Luis. I hope you do too!
@@TheCharismaticVoice Well, if Nuclear Blast is acting up (noticed that Helloween is down), that just means we get more Small Town Titans, as well as Angra, Rhapsody, Iced Earth and Shaman sooner... eh eh. If it helps jump ahead in line, for Fairy Tale by Shaman there's footage on UA-cam of André explaining and demonstrating how he sang it...
Beye.
I fell in love with this almost 2 years ago. I didn't know about them, and someone steered me to them. And they are GREAT. Great Post.
So nice to watch someone geek out to a vocalist. How lovely.
Their cover of Queen’s Fat Bottom Girls blew me away and made me an instant fan. Holy crap, the level of talent.
His song dragonfly is amazing his voice!! But so happy you did a reaction of them they’re amazing
I would love to see a reaction to one of my favorite country performances ever: Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey (Austin City Limits Performance)
You need to listen to and watch all their music. This is only a small tip of their awesome work
Watching vocal coaches gush over my boy from STT is awesome!! Don’t underestimate Rock people!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
YESSSSSSS SMALL TOWN TITANS ARE AWESOME!! Definitely recommend some of their other stuff
Hi Elizabeth,
I really like your reactions. They’re priceless. For me, this is part of what sets you apart from others. Plus, I trained in classical voice (tenor). I practiced while singing along with Pavarotti tapes.
Merry CHRISTmas!!!
Try the Pentatonix version also. Matt Sallee sings the bass line.
you have to take a look at this MB14 | La Cup Worldwide Showcase 2018
You HAVE to listen to their rendition of hallelujah 😍
Always enjoy small town Titans, I love hearing deep vocals and he has a great range, but sings in that lower range that I enjoy singing with.
Their new song is awesome too, it's called Ruffling Feathers. I am so glad that you are shining a spotlight on this group, they deserve to be so much more known😁
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
I don't even care who she is reviewing, those facial expressions and smiles are intoxicating.
THESE GUY ARE KILLER! BEEN FOLLOWING THEM SINCE THE GRINCH COVER CAME OUT!
Your affinity for annunciation is refreshing.
This guy used to wait for December to watch The Grinch Stole Christmas every year...I can see The Grinch smiling devilishly all throughout. He knows the spirit.
This band is phenomenal...and you know it...that man can sing!!!
Glad to see STT getting some attention, these guys are awesome.
Absolutely love that you reacted to this. I'm amazed with the number of reactors that haven't check this out as well as other Small Town Titans songs as well. Your breakdown and explanation were beautiful. One of their or "Phil's" songs that really hit me is "Dragonfly" that he wrote after his mom lost a 3 yr battle with cancer. The message he has under the video explains in detail the passion that drove him to write it. He's also a vocal coach/instructor.
After watching this over and over, I have to reply again at Christmas time 2023. Yours is my all time favorite reaction to this song. I enjoy all your reactions. Spot on and Merry Christmas from a random Joe from Tennessee.
you will forever, once a year, demand of yourself to listen to this song
Try ”Dragonfly” by the Titans along with “Doorbell” and “Hallelujah”...I think you’ll like the mix. They also have plenty of metal songs too...
Love the channel...
Phil wrote Dragonfly for his mom who passed away from cancer. Beautiful song! Hallelujah gives me chills, sooo good!!!
That was amazeballs. What an excellent adaptation.
Omg HELL YEAH, didn't expect you to discover these guys, they're SOO GOOD!
Edit: im pretty sure their singer is a vocal coach with a channel as well if I remember correctly
Just say it.. This is a masterpiece of coolness. 🏆👍✔
Love Small Town Titans version of this song ❤️
Need to react to some Type O Negative. Especially, "Love You to Death"
I LOVE seeing how much she loves this
Thank you for this reaction, Now you need to listen to them performing Hallelujah, you will be pleasantly surprised.
Love this song. Their cover of Hallelujah is incredible as well.
Yaaaaaayyyyy! My suggestion! Can't wait!
It's me again! Requesting you react to some Coheed & Cambria! I know you like unique tone, pronunciation, and skills, so they're right up your alley, IMO :D Mother Superior (especially the live Nervous Energies session) or Dark Side of Me would be great starts! :) Love your videos, thanks for putting them up!
A decaying sound you say. I love that. Never heard it before.
