Queen of the Damned by the greatest vocalist alive ̶F̶r̶e̶d̶d̶y̶ ̶M̶e̶r̶c̶u̶r̶y̶ (RIP) ... Justin Hawkins been waiting for a masculine/ gay/ trans friendly version of what is the perfect opera of change..
Mr. Hawkins, to me, you are a superstar. Seeing you on youtube is like seeing Elvis on youtube. Please take care of yourself. You have fans you do not even know you have who appreciate what you have done.
It's unfair how naturally crimpy your brother's... I mean your hair is. 😆Seriously man, your vocals are wildly fantastic. I especially love how you described the feeling of adding grit/distortion in a healthy way. I'd be quite keen to hear more on how you think about your voice and producing such exquisite sounds. Thanks for doing this!
Thank you both for pulling the curtain back on the craft enough for us non-expert music lovers to better understand and more deeply respect the effort put in to make the music we love.
Elizabeth is awesome, probably in part because of her nearly unbelievable (and often maddening) naiveté with respect to all rock and metal of the last 50 years.
Yeah, he really has his head on his shoulders for all the fake bravado (I'm pretty sure it's fake hah) mixed with self-deprecation (funny to see both those coming out of the same person so regularly) he engages in. Really made me happy to see him happy.
@@JayPhonomancer yes she's got a couple of covers she has on her own channel however there are some, imo, better videos if you search for "elizabeth zharoff singing" from operas she's done or there's one of her with a guitarist which should be a top result that's fantastic
I choked when you said “20 years after it was released.” I listened to this song as a teen when it was released. I can’t believe it has been that long!
We had just heard this song for the first time about two years ago- We actually had to search allover to find out who performed it. "Who IS that guy?". I was so elated to find the video.
The Charismatic Voice was the first youtube channel to demonstrate to me that reaction channels can be good. Since then I have found a handful of other subject matter experts doing reactions that are informative. The value for somebody like me is finding the vocabulary to describe the things that attracted me to some of these artists in the first place and really understand why their art works.
First time I saw the channel name I was like "calling yourself Charismatic is a bit pretentious", but, well, she is, charismatic, fun and knows her shit. She has every right to be has many subs and views as she does.
You might like Virgin Rock’s channel. A classically trained harpist reacts to and applies her music education to rock music-She was now is not a virgin to the genre.
The Charismatic Voice has probably done more for me in understanding and appreciating the vocal talents and abilities of vocalists than any music theory class has ever done. Every video she does is a lesson in vocal theory and I am no way a vocalist but she has been the cause and solution to many 1am UA-cam rabbit holes of exploration. She is so positive and even when she is critiquing she still finds the best part of the mistake if that makes sense and elaborates on it and I just know vocalists are watching her content and taking notes.
1 am? Those are rookie numbers! But also, yes she is a much better reactor than all those people who just play the song and bob their heads along, and finish the video by saying "yeah that was alright, see you next time". She makes a tone deaf person like me appreciate the craftsmanship in songs so much more. Whoever knew dio, meatloaf and a few others were so uniquely talented? She made me able to distinguish when i enjoy a song because it's fun and poppy from when the singer and band are actually really talented
@@NecramoniumVideo agreed. Reaction but with actual tangible information and perspective versus just someone saying "wow" the entire time with some basic take.
@@DropAnchor1978 Yeah, I get that but I just listen to or watch the video she is referencing first then watch her reaction unless its something I am really familiar with already.
Two of my favourite people reacting to each others videos - yay! 😁🤟 Met both Elizabeth and Jus in real life and happy to say how fab they both are. Big love to both of you ✌️💙
I'm glad "Never meet your heroes' is leaving the culture to make room for awesome heroes. Don't know them, but Dave Brockie from GWAR was god tier charming.
I just jump in to say that Andy guitar is one of my absolute favourite channels for guitar tutorials. I bet i am not the only one who thinks that! Man you have no idea how many songs i learned how to play thanks to you!
@@JackXombi I don't think I ever really spent much time with him but I did meet him a few times because I open for them in the way back here in Lawrence Kansas. Both at The Crossing and also out at the The Outhouse.
Charismatic Voice is one of the only non-history reaction/analysis channels I watch. She's good, and she's a hell of an opera singer as well. Plus she's a fellow D&D player, so she gets an auto-win for that.
I must admit I check the Charismatic Voice out quite often. It's fun to watch Elizabeth discovering new music, she's fairly new to the Rock Metal scene and her patreons recommend new music to her. She is actually a world renowned Opera Singer and has an incredible voice too, she also attended Bloodstock a couple of years ago and loved it. She's really open to all genres of rock.....it's cool to watch her expression as she discovers new stuff.
She loves electric callboyn2. Check out her reaction to ratatatatata, the collaboration. With babymetal . Fact checkmouit a ll hermreacti9ns to ...call boy. In fact j7smcheckmout callboy they're amazingn❤❤❤
the camera really captures the Joy of Discovery on her face and in her breakdown and analysis of the music, and the work involved to create such beautiful music. and she sees beauty in so much music, she gives me hope for humanity.
I've seen a lot of her videos and recently discovered she's a professional opera singer with an insanely powerful voice. Suddenly all those reactions holds more weight.
I’m just going to put this out there: I found the video to this song REALLY appealing. It’s like, if there was a porn made by women for women this is what it would look like. You have this guy who can sing really well and is like “I took a bath, I dried off, put on a cool outfit, got comfy on a cool made bed, and I’m ready for looooove. Oh and I’m going to sing you this really charming song.” And the song is really charming. I think what makes this song great is that it sounds fun. Like someone had lots of fun writing, playing, producing this song. It’s also imbued with this sense of humor.
Don't let "not being able to read music" stop you. For singers it's just sight-reading. The little dots let you know up or down, the Italian lets you know the "how" (softly, loudly, etc.). Your ears will let you know the cues. One, two times through, you'll get it. If I could pick it up in High School as a metal head, you can get it. It's the singing part that's hard and you're an ace, bud.
I watch THe Charismatic Voice channel from time to time... the host is very fun and cute in her discovering all this new music to her because she mainly just sang and listened to Opera music.. her mind has been expanded to enjoy Metal music, and it is always so wonderful her genuine innocent reactions to such things
It is refreshing to see two people building each other up on these two channels. I know it's cliché, but there is way too much of the other thing these days, so this exchange is a bright spot. I have always loved this song; it was perfect for its time.
@@Paul8v It's a reference to a video she made ages ago. She's done a cover of Erasure's - Always and made a video to go with it where she's wearing a Unicorn onesie in reference to the old mobile game Robot Unicorn Attack that used a version of the song as its main theme and level song. It's worth a watch..you can tell she had a blast making it
Her analysis of this song is what guided me to this channel. I had no idea you were on UA-cam now. I was in 8th grade when "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" came out and I've loved it since the first day I heard it. So happy I found this channel
I was thrilled to see The Charismatic Voice analyse your vocal, but it totally made my afternoon to see that you responded. This was awesome. Thank you 🙂
This is such a fantastic opportunity as a singer, because you know she's gonna analize it insanely well, but the idea of the person singing and explaining what is actually happening, be it in their mind or body/throat/etc... Gives so much clarity. There's so much intimacy, mentality, persona and many other aspects that make a singer, the notes they reach or sounds they generate. Ahhhh i love this! Thank you!
The amount of time it took for a reaction video to be reacted to is mind-bottling. Watched Charismatic Voice this morning… 8 hours later a reaction to the reaction. A Valentines Day miracle! Thank for doing this video!
Ah the humour is alive and well here, that said Elizabeth is an awesome woman, insanely talented to boot. Her reaction videos are the stuff of legend as she really gets into it, you can see it in her body language and facial expressions, just a sweet human being she is.
@@iSiberianHusky Everybody panders. That's what entertainers do, embellish their content so that their audience enjoys it more. Keep in mind that rock stars are also entertainers who pander and embellish.. and their audiences love it.
Your voice has the best ranges I've ever heard and could rival Freddy Mercury's. I can't carry a tune in a bucket so hearing your vocal capability is literally mind blowing. You deserve so much more notoriety simply based on the level of humanity that you approach music with. The music community needs more of your gift for sure.
Watching Elizabeth get into rock and metal over the last few years has been amazing. She's done some great interviews with the likes of Tati from Jinjer and has put a camera down the throat of the Lorna Shore guy. Her channel is essential viewing!
I've listened to quite a few The Charismatic Voice videos and this might be the most impressed I've heard her be about someone's vocal abilities. She never really disses anyone's singing but this really was an exceptional reaction from her. Well deserved Justin. Glad it made your day.
This was awesome to see, Justin is hysterical. I still remember blasting this song at top volume on my way home after a double shift at work and realizing that the car next to me was blasting the same song, so we all sang along as we rode down the street in the middle of the night.
We put the music video to this song on last night and my 16 year old daughter was like “Is he a space mermaid? He’s a space mermaid” because of your beautiful, long flowy hair. Lol.
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain She also does a Tea Time with various vocalists that she reacts to should contact her I think it would be fabulous to see you two interacting you singlehandedly got me back into singing again after seeing this video all those years ago thank you very much
Critiquing someone who critiques. Bloody awesome. Put my critiquing on critique streams to a new level lol. The charismatic voice is a great channel for my vocal learning. It also led me to your channel. Great to see your still around and active. I loved the darkness. Cheers. ✌️
She's a hell of a singer Justin, I mean seriously, a really amazing singer; I'm a guitarist and I still watch her videos because she's so damn good at analysing vocals.
I was hoping for this reaction video and sha-bam, it was swiftly delivered. Two of my fave Tubers, in back to back videos. We are truly living in a golden age.
My two universes have combined into one! This is like a DC/Marvel movie collaboration but BETTER! I have been watching both of your UA-cam channels for the last couple of years so this was awesome to see.
You are SUCH a lovely human, musician, and man. Not necessarily in that order. Thank you so much for responding to TCV’s video, absolutely charming and informative and Funny. What a fucking gem. 🖤
Was such fun watching her watch your video and react - amazing feedback and well deserved - we all know about your amazing voice and sense of humour ❤😂❤
Sorry, you'd had a bad day, but I'm glad you watched this and it cheered you up. You do have an incredible gift and it's a joy to hear you use it. I also love what you're doing here. Thanks, man! Keep doing it! 💜
If Queen ever decided to do another tour or even just a few shows you'd be the perfect singer for them. Who knows if they ever will but I can't think of any other singers who could do it justice and own it like you could.
Have you checked out Tom Chaplin from Keane singing It's A Hard Life with Queen? Although, not as visually entertaining as Justin Hawkins, he gives a flawless performance.
I love her channel. She reacts to alot of metal as well. I love that she's a vocal coach and professional opera singer and has come to love and appreciate metal vocalists.
For the most part, "metal" really isn't my scene - but the "metal" singers that are good are GOOD! I've been getting into the Japanese metal/hard rockgirl groups a lot more lately - BANDMAID are bliss, Nemophila most excellent, Lovebites is a little too "metal" for more than the oddtrack, Hanabie are fun, and there's so much more. Not sure where The Wagakki Band fit in, but Babtmetal are definitely "Kawaii metal" - Suzuka's voice in outstanding!
There are definitely some stuffy opera and classical musicians who only listen to classical and look down on other styles. But the cool ones just love MUSIC in all its forms. I remember being in college and studying Bach in piano lessons, rehearsing an opera in the evening, and then singing in a rock band on the weekends. And I loved it ALL. 😂
This was great. So nice to see a singer react to all the nice and genuine comments she makes when she watches something that impresses her. Brilliant stuff.
Holy sh... I just came to your channel and I didn't realize how insane of a 'musician' you are. I knew your vocals were out of this world. But your 'musicianship' matches it. Absolutely insane. Instant sub.
She goes heavily into the science of vocals, physics and biology, which goes right over my head, but she's learned all of this stuff as part of studying to become an opera singer. And now she's also a metal fan and a roleplaying gamer. You never know, it might help you.
Mate you and Elizabeth having a crossover moment, like ever decreasing circles crossing over with Keeping up appearances. Two of my favourites youtubers coming together
I really liked the videos she did with Will Ramos of Lorna Shore where they put a camera down his throat so they could watch his vocal chords while he did his screaming/growling. Awesome stuff! Glad she's reacting to you.
Haha this was a hilarious fun video! i was delighted to see The Charismatic Voice do a Darkness song! Theres something really compelling about seeing someone's first time reaction to something you've seen or heard thousands of times before.
Crazy how I find Elizabeth’s reactions so soothing and coupled with Justin’s reflective way of getting across his point of view. Literally relaxed to the max!
Outstanding. I'll have to watch the music video again. When The Darkness blew up in 2003 there were many comments about your voice, your range, your falsetto, comparisons to Freddie, the success of PtL. For the rock fans like me who grew up in the 70/80's, you were all a real breath of fresh air to listen to. Glad that The Charismatic Voice gave you a look-in, and now I'll check out her review too. Good to see that your band is still around 20yrs on. Nice one...
I bought Permission To Land shortly after it was released after reading a Rolling Stone review comparing the band to Queen and Led Zeppelin. After my first listen I was all "Wtf"? I thought the vocals were almost a parody, but after a couple more listens I realized the riffs and songs were really memorable and well-written, and the guitar soloing was great. And to me they sounded more like early Def Leppard (musically) meets The Bee Gees and The Cure (vocally), which is a pretty cool, interesting and unique amalgam. So yeah, it quickly became a current favorite album of mine and when my friend Dan and I would drive to Hollywood on the weekend to hang out and party at the Rainbow, we'd crank it in his car and I'd sing along and he'd crack up because I used to be able to hit pretty much all of Justin's high notes. Get Your Hands Of My Woman was my favorite one to sing, especially when he goes "You cu-hu-hunt!" in that crazy high falsetto 😎
@@dmitryowens yeah, it's a great album but there was a bit of an image problem because; people didn't know how to accept the band. I was living in the UK at the time and immediately there were comparisons to Freddie Mercury. JH did say that The Darkness were going for a sound sort of Queen/ACDC which I think they got, and still have. Love on the Rocks (with no ice) was my favourite. The very last two power chords are pure metal... \m/
@@paulelverstone8677 Yeah, great song - I also really dig Love Is Only A Feeling. And to me Justin's voice reminds me more of Robert Smith when he sings in his natural mid-range and Bee Gees and other 70's male disco artists when he sings the high stuff - Freddie sang more in full chest voice and didn't use as much falsetto as Justin does.
Justin, I am a big fan of Elizabeth, who is The Charismatic Voice, and she seemed to have fun time, and she loved the song, and your singing. She does Tea Time interviews with musicians, and we'd love to see you do one with Elizabeth.
I've seen a few of your reaction videos just because of the algorithm. I had no idea you were the lead singer of The Darkness. My wife and I used this song for the Recessional at our wedding and there was never even a discussion about another. Thank you for your part in creating it :)
The first time I saw the "I believe in a thing called love" video, I got my eyes fixed to the screen and when it ended I needed more!🤩 So I bought the record as soon as I had the chance. What an album!❤ And luckily those that came after...Long live The Darkness!!!🫶 Special mention to Dan's beauty. Those shots of him while he is playing the guitar solos 13:02 are simply... gorgeous!!!🔥🔥🔥 🥰
Have him do a reaction video to her opera? We’re already two levels of inception deep into this review (his video being reviewed by her being reviewed by him). Actually, yeah. I think we need to dive deeper into this labyrinth…but you’re going to have to pay for the therapy afterwards.

yea, definitely a sausage .. big one with a big red tip... nothing could ever be inferred here..
FIRST TIME HEARING IVE HAD A WEIRD HISTORY WITH MUSIC.
Mr. Hawkins, to me, you are a superstar. Seeing you on youtube is like seeing Elvis on youtube. Please take care of yourself. You have fans you do not even know you have who appreciate what you have done.
Justin, Im a 38 year drummer, and I live in Africa. Can we do some music together?

Interview Justin or do a chat thing. Be a mega vid for fans of both
You guys should do a collab i would love to see an interview or something.
Thank you both for pulling the curtain back on the craft enough for us non-expert music lovers to better understand and more deeply respect the effort put in to make the music we love.
Maybe a Tea time Elizabeth? It would be great! 😀
Can you hear the whispers building in the masses? Collab..... collab....collab....collab....collab....collab....
Him pausing her pausing him. 😂
Pausing youuuUUU, pausing meeeeEEEE.

A frying pan flipping!🤨
@@boldbilegI was going to say this, but I knew someone else did
Genius.
Watching justin hawkins react to the charismatic voice reacting to justin hawkins is the thing i didn't know i need, but i needed it.
So meta
Yeah it’s not a fap I saw coming either.
I found it quite wholesome. Justin was more human and even humble than I knew.
Elizabeth is awesome, probably in part because of her nearly unbelievable (and often maddening) naiveté with respect to all rock and metal of the last 50 years.
This is the first time I've ever seen the actual vocalist reacting to the vocal coach's reaction.
Brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Floor Jansen did a reaction to Ghost Love score, and Arjan Lucassen responed to Julia Nilon's reaction to Valley of the Queens
@@remcohoman1011 Ronnie Radke does it as well.
Same here! And with a fantastic sense of humor. It's nice to see he doesn't take himself too seriously.
And Brendon Urie did too, as I remember🤔
We need to go deeper 🧐
Looking forwards to Elizabeth reacting to your reaction of her reaction.
This could go on forever.
Let's not go too meta now...
@@chicochi3 you mean you're going to react to elizabeth reacting to justin's reaction of her reaction? i'll react to that!
YES !
@@lennymccartney1 Not me. My reactions are not important. But these two both have reasonable and educated things to say about each other.
If you watch the original Justin has left out nearly all the many, many compliments on his voice, this makes me like him even more
Great point. Agreed!
The video would be way too long if he included them all lol.
Yeah, he really has his head on his shoulders for all the fake bravado (I'm pretty sure it's fake hah) mixed with self-deprecation (funny to see both those coming out of the same person so regularly) he engages in. Really made me happy to see him happy.
As a professional opera singer she is infinitely qualified for her reactions. I love everything she does.
Does she upload any of her own performances on her channel at all? I ha e never heard her sing but I love her reactions/analysis

@3lapsed Hey thanks, I will check them out 👍
@@JayPhonomancer She has some of her opera stuff on her own channel!
Hmm, my first vocal coach was an opera singer, so that was brilliant, techncally, physically, but I had to figure out my rock chops myself.
I choked when you said “20 years after it was released.” I listened to this song as a teen when it was released. I can’t believe it has been that long!
Same buddy, thirteen when this song was released. Old man now 😂
Yeah that hurt. I was in high school when this song came out. Now I'm just like wait how tf was that 30 years ago?!

Brilliant comment, well played sir
Watching her eargasms to music is amazing. She analyzes and breaks it down like no other.
I've never been sure how to describe her giddiness when she hears new music. 'Eargasm' is a perfect description, and it's really fun to watch.
I'm pretty sure that's not the only kind of gasm she had
I started watching her videos today and I'm hooked. She _has_ a charismatic voice, the look of delight she has is a joy, really brightened my day.
wait until you see her Shock and Horror. Look up her reaction to The Who and Pete Townshend abusing his instruments...
She’s absolutely fantastic and so wholesome, open to all forms of music. I’m so glad you saw her reaction and responded.
Wholesome is definitely the word. I can't imagine even the mildest cuss word has ever left her mouth, or even entered it. hah
Charismatic Voice is one of the only non-history reaction/analysis channels I watch. She's good, and she's a hell of an opera singer as well. Plus she's a fellow D&D player, so she gets an auto-win for that.
It also helps that she had never heard like any rock songs ever so she has a fresh perspective!
she's awesome. her reactions and analysis of groups like Pantera are magic!
She is an absolute delight.
She's irritating and seems to enjoy gurning and pausing videos every 10 seconds and talking all over them.
The Fairy Voice Mother is also great, she so effortlessly recreates vocals from literally any genre

You’re in for a treat. This channel is special. One of my favorites.
Same!
Same, just found out about this channel and it looks great!
Same!!!
Never in my wildest teenage dreams did I ever think there would be a way to see his beautiful face in this context.
The Charismatic Voice brought me here and I just subbed...your vocals are next level with no comparison! Your humor is a bonus!
I was thrilled to see The Charismatic Voice analyse your vocal, but it totally made my afternoon to see that you responded. This was awesome. Thank you 🙂
Ditto 👍 Made my day too 😀
Agreed!!
Not only is she a vocal coach she is an opera singer, and very cool man that you get to see this video
Well, she actually IS a vocal coach as well. ;)
Imagine the duet we could get?
"Making sure you don't forfeit the gift that's been bestowed upon you!" Best quote to any singer ever!!! Thanks! JT
W0W! You're Reviewing the Reviews, of a Reviewer, Reviewing U.
Well done!!? "This is the way!"
So say we all
Reviewing yoooooOOOOOOOuuuuuu, reviewing meeeeEEEEEEeeee
This is such a fantastic opportunity as a singer, because you know she's gonna analize it insanely well, but the idea of the person singing and explaining what is actually happening, be it in their mind or body/throat/etc... Gives so much clarity. There's so much intimacy, mentality, persona and many other aspects that make a singer, the notes they reach or sounds they generate. Ahhhh i love this! Thank you!
The amount of time it took for a reaction video to be reacted to is mind-bottling. Watched Charismatic Voice this morning… 8 hours later a reaction to the reaction. A Valentines Day miracle! Thank for doing this video!
I believe she sent the video to him prior to release. Just for this reason.
The Charismatic voice is delighful to watch.Her facial expressions are wonderful. She seems to really enjoy dong reactions.
Same lol
Everyone loves dong reactions :D
i love watching her dong reactions.
Lol
I would love to see her reaction to my dong
Ah the humour is alive and well here, that said Elizabeth is an awesome woman, insanely talented to boot. Her reaction videos are the stuff of legend as she really gets into it, you can see it in her body language and facial expressions, just a sweet human being she is.
I love the dedication Justin put into making his singing LOOK realistic in the music videos. Not enough singers do that.
Watching her facial expressions is part of what makes Elizabeths's content amazing.
Agree. Like a Disney princess who came to life. She's so cute.
Indeed!
Right? I love how excited she gets over the smallest things
@Zoltán Bereczki "Sometimes?" She knows what she's doing and how she's doing it. She's pandering.
@@iSiberianHusky Everybody panders. That's what entertainers do, embellish their content so that their audience enjoys it more. Keep in mind that rock stars are also entertainers who pander and embellish.. and their audiences love it.
Your voice has the best ranges I've ever heard and could rival Freddy Mercury's. I can't carry a tune in a bucket so hearing your vocal capability is literally mind blowing. You deserve so much more notoriety simply based on the level of humanity that you approach music with. The music community needs more of your gift for sure.
Speaking of I'd love to hear Justin doing some Queen tunes.
I love that he is able to not take everything (especially himself) SO serious!!! Laughed a lot!!!
you're absolutely beaming, love it. you deserve all the praise you get, Justin.
I second and third that 🤘
He ages like a fine wine. Handsome man.
Watching Elizabeth get into rock and metal over the last few years has been amazing. She's done some great interviews with the likes of Tati from Jinjer and has put a camera down the throat of the Lorna Shore guy. Her channel is essential viewing!
I've listened to quite a few The Charismatic Voice videos and this might be the most impressed I've heard her be about someone's vocal abilities. She never really disses anyone's singing but this really was an exceptional reaction from her. Well deserved Justin. Glad it made your day.
This is the first time I ever seen an artist react to someone reacting to their song. Brilliant! Love it.❤
We definitely need an interview between Justin and Elizabeth, that would be fun.
She's an opera singer.
She has an infectious personality.
This was awesome to see, Justin is hysterical. I still remember blasting this song at top volume on my way home after a double shift at work and realizing that the car next to me was blasting the same song, so we all sang along as we rode down the street in the middle of the night.
We put the music video to this song on last night and my 16 year old daughter was like “Is he a space mermaid? He’s a space mermaid” because of your beautiful, long flowy hair. Lol.
And the enchanting voice that could make any human fall into the abyss (space instead of deep sea) just to keep hearing it.
I love the Charasmatic voice so much, I wish i could meet someone who would look at me the way she looks at music.
She is so amazing. She is so fun to watch, incredible insight and her enthusiasm is massive.
Thanks Justin, you’re voice is always touching me!!!!
Thanks!
LMAO
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain She also does a Tea Time with various vocalists that she reacts to should contact her I think it would be fabulous to see you two interacting you singlehandedly got me back into singing again after seeing this video all those years ago thank you very much
Justin is a national treasure. The end.
Correction: he's a treasure for the whole human race. 👍
And so is Elizabeth, obviously.
Critiquing someone who critiques. Bloody awesome. Put my critiquing on critique streams to a new level lol. The charismatic voice is a great channel for my vocal learning. It also led me to your channel. Great to see your still around and active. I loved the darkness. Cheers. ✌️
How can you not love this dude?
She's a hell of a singer Justin, I mean seriously, a really amazing singer; I'm a guitarist and I still watch her videos because she's so damn good at analysing vocals.
We all need the Tea Time interview with both of you happening! Go for it! Can't wait! Love from germany! ;)
Awh brilliant Justin 👏 Your response didn't disappoint 😍 You had fun with it in amongst your awkwardness/flattery from all her compliments. 🦋
It is hard to be humble when you are as great as Justin is. But Justin did very well indeed.
She loved you ❤ l
Loved her reaction❤
She is a delight to watch and listen to and she obviously knows her shit ,but her giggles are just infectious.
The thumbnail on her video...the look on her face...it's almost evil delight! She loves your vocal prowess! We all do eh?
I was hoping for this reaction video and sha-bam, it was swiftly delivered.
Two of my fave Tubers, in back to back videos. We are truly living in a golden age.
My two universes have combined into one! This is like a DC/Marvel movie collaboration but BETTER! I have been watching both of your UA-cam channels for the last couple of years so this was awesome to see.
This is the best thing I have seen on the Internet in ages!
The girl has got an ear. She’s the best out there
You are SUCH a lovely human, musician, and man. Not necessarily in that order. Thank you so much for responding to TCV’s video, absolutely charming and informative and Funny. What a fucking gem. 🖤
Well said. He is a gem. Perfect description!
Was such fun watching her watch your video and react - amazing feedback and well deserved - we all know about your amazing voice and sense of humour ❤😂❤
Sorry, you'd had a bad day, but I'm glad you watched this and it cheered you up. You do have an incredible gift and it's a joy to hear you use it. I also love what you're doing here. Thanks, man! Keep doing it! 💜
obsessed with how this guy talks
😁 you still have it!!!! Freaking AMAZING!!!! 0:39
I watched her yesterday and she is correct. You really do have a great voice. I honestly think you have to be in the top 10 of all time.
Yes - the triple threat of voice, guitar, and songwriting - the muses smiled on his birth
You do have an unbelievable voice. I even remember playing "Love is Only a Feeling" for my parents so they could hear your talent.
I was watching this before. Her reactions mirrored my first reaction to seeing this vid for the first time.
She is adorable
If Queen ever decided to do another tour or even just a few shows you'd be the perfect singer for them. Who knows if they ever will but I can't think of any other singers who could do it justice and own it like you could.
I'm not sure whether the entire catalogue works for him but the track Justin did with them at the Taylor Hawkins memorial was fantastic.
I agree Robyn…I’ve often thought his opening ‘jingle’ sounds Mercury like.
They haven't stopped touring, they have Adam Lambert as their vocalist for several years now
Have you checked out Tom Chaplin from Keane singing It's A Hard Life with Queen? Although, not as visually entertaining as Justin Hawkins, he gives a flawless performance.
Yeah no disrespect to Adam but Justin would nail it
I'd take a Zharoff endorsement over a spangly plaque every time. Delighted it gave you such a buzz.
I love her channel. She reacts to alot of metal as well. I love that she's a vocal coach and professional opera singer and has come to love and appreciate metal vocalists.
For the most part, "metal" really isn't my scene - but the "metal" singers that are good are GOOD!
I've been getting into the Japanese metal/hard rockgirl groups a lot more lately - BANDMAID are bliss, Nemophila most excellent, Lovebites is a little too "metal" for more than the oddtrack, Hanabie are fun, and there's so much more. Not sure where The Wagakki Band fit in, but Babtmetal are definitely "Kawaii metal" - Suzuka's voice in outstanding!
There are definitely some stuffy opera and classical musicians who only listen to classical and look down on other styles. But the cool ones just love MUSIC in all its forms. I remember being in college and studying Bach in piano lessons, rehearsing an opera in the evening, and then singing in a rock band on the weekends. And I loved it ALL. 😂
Like others have said already Justin, it would be fun to have you on one of her interviews.
Looking forward to the Charismatic voice's reaction to your reaction. I would genuinely not tire of that dynamic.
This was great. So nice to see a singer react to all the nice and genuine comments she makes when she watches something that impresses her. Brilliant stuff.
OMG this is so meta!!! A singer analyzing another singers analysis of their voice. LOL
Holy sh... I just came to your channel and I didn't realize how insane of a 'musician' you are. I knew your vocals were out of this world. But your 'musicianship' matches it. Absolutely insane. Instant sub.
She goes heavily into the science of vocals, physics and biology, which goes right over my head, but she's learned all of this stuff as part of studying to become an opera singer. And now she's also a metal fan and a roleplaying gamer. You never know, it might help you.
Mate you and Elizabeth having a crossover moment, like ever decreasing circles crossing over with Keeping up appearances.
Two of my favourites youtubers coming together
I really liked the videos she did with Will Ramos of Lorna Shore where they put a camera down his throat so they could watch his vocal chords while he did his screaming/growling. Awesome stuff! Glad she's reacting to you.
Haha this was a hilarious fun video! i was delighted to see The Charismatic Voice do a Darkness song! Theres something really compelling about seeing someone's first time reaction to something you've seen or heard thousands of times before.
Crazy how I find Elizabeth’s reactions so soothing and coupled with Justin’s reflective way of getting across his point of view. Literally relaxed to the max!
Outstanding. I'll have to watch the music video again. When The Darkness blew up in 2003 there were many comments about your voice, your range, your falsetto, comparisons to Freddie, the success of PtL. For the rock fans like me who grew up in the 70/80's, you were all a real breath of fresh air to listen to. Glad that The Charismatic Voice gave you a look-in, and now I'll check out her review too. Good to see that your band is still around 20yrs on. Nice one...
I bought Permission To Land shortly after it was released after reading a Rolling Stone review comparing the band to Queen and Led Zeppelin. After my first listen I was all "Wtf"? I thought the vocals were almost a parody, but after a couple more listens I realized the riffs and songs were really memorable and well-written, and the guitar soloing was great. And to me they sounded more like early Def Leppard (musically) meets The Bee Gees and The Cure (vocally), which is a pretty cool, interesting and unique amalgam. So yeah, it quickly became a current favorite album of mine and when my friend Dan and I would drive to Hollywood on the weekend to hang out and party at the Rainbow, we'd crank it in his car and I'd sing along and he'd crack up because I used to be able to hit pretty much all of Justin's high notes. Get Your Hands Of My Woman was my favorite one to sing, especially when he goes "You cu-hu-hunt!" in that crazy high falsetto 😎
@@dmitryowens yeah, it's a great album but there was a bit of an image problem because; people didn't know how to accept the band. I was living in the UK at the time and immediately there were comparisons to Freddie Mercury. JH did say that The Darkness were going for a sound sort of Queen/ACDC which I think they got, and still have. Love on the Rocks (with no ice) was my favourite. The very last two power chords are pure metal... \m/
@@paulelverstone8677
Yeah, great song - I also really dig Love Is Only A Feeling. And to me Justin's voice reminds me more of Robert Smith when he sings in his natural mid-range and Bee Gees and other 70's male disco artists when he sings the high stuff - Freddie sang more in full chest voice and didn't use as much falsetto as Justin does.
She loves it because you guys freaking rock. Hopefully more people see that. I love converting people to your music.
Justin, I am a big fan of Elizabeth, who is The Charismatic Voice, and she seemed to have fun time, and she loved the song, and your singing. She does Tea Time interviews with musicians, and we'd love to see you do one with Elizabeth.
Hee hee 😂 love this !!!!!! 😊
I've seen a few of your reaction videos just because of the algorithm. I had no idea you were the lead singer of The Darkness. My wife and I used this song for the Recessional at our wedding and there was never even a discussion about another. Thank you for your part in creating it :)
You're great, Justin. Just a great human being. This was a fun watch.
Just watched that charismatic voice video yesterday, Then this video hapoens!!! So awesome. I feel like im part of something really cool lol.
The first time I saw the "I believe in a thing called love" video, I got my eyes fixed to the screen and when it ended I needed more!🤩 So I bought the record as soon as I had the chance. What an album!❤ And luckily those that came after...Long live The Darkness!!!🫶
Special mention to Dan's beauty. Those shots of him while he is playing the guitar solos 13:02 are simply... gorgeous!!!🔥🔥🔥 🥰
🙌💗
I was 20 when this song came out. It was such a breath of fresh air from all the other music of the time.
this makes me happy
Please do a reaction of her operatic performances. She's amazing.
Have him do a reaction video to her opera? We’re already two levels of inception deep into this review (his video being reviewed by her being reviewed by him). Actually, yeah. I think we need to dive deeper into this labyrinth…but you’re going to have to pay for the therapy afterwards.
@@______IV Then have Leo react to him reacting to her singing opera ..
I messaged her about your channel after watching that video. Love that you did this !! \m/
Elizabeth is such a treasure! Long-time follower of hers and she does fabulous analysises over the years.
I've rarely been so entertained by a video.
