You should do more Epica. I highly suggest that you check out their song "Consign to Oblivion: Live at the Zenith"! The singer of Epica is Simone Simons. Another fun fact: Mark Jansen, the guitarist of Epica, used to be in a band with Floor called AfterForever.

So, this is my first time hearing Epica. This is a great review because you're the only vocal coach that actually sounds good when you're explaining how they sing. Great job, keep it up!

I know this comment is a year old, but i found Epica through an amv years ago, the first song i heard was the last crusade, it remains next to my favorite song by them (both versions of it) this song is probably my favorite if just for how good it sounds with floor in it.

Beth, you're a metal head at heart :D Floor is my favorite female metal singer since her days with After Forever (you should react to them by the way). Simone Simmons is so good as well. I had such a big crush on her during my 20's xD

Now that you've done Epica, please react to Kamelot with Roy Khan! He's a legend and they have a few live collabs with Simone Simons ❤

@ifyouwantbochin The Stabat Mater Dolorosa Mariela is talking about is a rendition of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, as sung live by Floor Jansen and Simone Simmons, live with orchestra.

This is such a honed piece of perfection. Its like a laser intensive streak of perfection through all of the beautiful music that exists. Floor and Simone in their prime. In the future people will envy us for living at the same time. So glad Ibsaw Floor live in 22, whe will be an icon in music forever on.

2 powerful and talented ladies managing to hold your attention even backed by a 50 person orchestra. This is just a stunning performance and really appreciate your dissection.

If you like symphonic metal, you need to check out Within Temptation! The singer Sharon den Adel is not trained but she has a unique and beautiful voice! I recommend songs from their Elements concert: Our Solemn Hour (songs starts at 25:20) The Promise (at 1:01:10)

1:30 Their flexibility between styles is something I've always found super impressive. Floor and Simone are really special for that. Epica uses it in their songs wonderfully. There is no shortage of material in which Simone is "flexing" or showing off this skill haha. Check out Chasing the Dragon, Unleashed, Tides of Time, Kingdom of Heaven, Serenade of Self Destruction, The Essence of Silence, Natural Corruption, In All Conscience, Once Upon a Nightmare, The Holographic Principle, Dedicate Your Heart. That's a list in chronological order of some of my favorites from them that showcase head voice. Most musicians/bands have one or only a few styles of vocals in their music. Epica is so interesting to me because Simone alone has some very contrasting styles, plus we have Mark's growls, and then various combinations of different sections of the choir (full choir, male only, female only, etc). Then when you consider that in their music any combination of these vocals might be coming in an out, sometimes in unison, sometimes call and answer, etc. etc. you see why Epica's music never gets old. There's a lot to digest with this stuff in the aforementioned songs.

Somebody like dimash switches from classical voice to a pop voice between phrases. One phrase is pop the next phrase is classical. These two ladies were changing within phrases, like in the middle of phrases. That is very impressive.

During the same concert, they (Floor and Simone) sing Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater", with the orchestra. When you have time, try to listen also Nightwish's "The Greatest Show On Earth", in the live version.

The 'kid in a candy store' look on your face at parts of the performance was so precious. Priceless! Thank you for this reaction.

I love Epica and this song so I'm happy you covered this one! I know you've had a look at Nightwish already but the live version of the islander from the tampere show is worth a look. It's one of those songs that focuses on Marco and his voice always blows me away.

I Love watching you reacting to this song. You genuinely seem to be enjoying yourself. Do more Epica and Nightwish songs please! 😁

I love the idea of you Floor and simone sing together:-)

Very nice reaction Beth! Glad to see you appreciate and really get into other styles... One of these times we will get you letting out that strawberry mane and headbanging to some great stuff... Epica kingdom of heaven live just might do the trick!

I know everyone talks about Floor and Mark being in After Forever together, but they also collaborated on another project together, ReVamp! It's worth checking out. Floor really showcases her range, from operatic to guttural vocals

Well Mark (on guitar, and the screaming guy at end Beth) and Floor were both in the band After Forever. Their first band. Then Mark quit (to say it nicely) and shortly after started Epica (originally Sahara Dust). So yeah, there is a lot of chemistry and camaraderie between them. Also Floor sings on his other project "MaYan" too.

Floor will start a single word on an operatic style and slide down and end up in a pop place with a harsh grit finish .....same word and Simone is pretty amazing in her own right.....you are witnessing in this performance a level or vocal agility and commitment that is pretty rare

One of the best bands in the world that don't get the attention they deserve. Such great musicians

I Love Epica...seen them 4 times live in small venues, up close and personal. Simone is an Awesome singer. Floor Jansen is lead singer of Nightwish and is also Awesome. Seen them several times too. If you ever get a chance to see either one live, go see them! You won't be disappointed. :)

I really feel like this is such a refreshing insight on all performers your reviewing. The way you describe techniques, your reactions, your great personality from what we see it’s just awesome I’ll like every video haha. Working my way threw your videos so far.

Honestly: I think it's something about rock academy or other music education, the non-rock music education doesn't seem to mind teaching how to switch between styles. Or they have more classical teachers at the rock academy as well. Something like that would be my best guess !

There are three major bands that are at the top of the Symphonic Metal Genera, you have now reacted to two of them. The third is called: "Within Temptation". The performance you want is live from their 15 year anniversary concert in Antwerp, 2012. The first song, "Iron" starts at 5-40 and would be an excellent choice. That concert also features an orchestra live on stage with the band.

Simply amazing, great commentary Beth.

amazing reaction as always beth awsome song brought tears to my eyes , hugs and kisses from Greece

For another live performance with both of them check out Stabat Mater Dolorosa, you will not disapointed !

Epica is my number one, a band I’ve seen live 4 times. I see Epica, I click. Simone (Epica) was pregnant and I think a little ill during this show, so she gets extra points for performing up there for 3 hours as well as she did. She’s only gotten better with time. And of course Floor Jansen is always amazing to watch and listen to.

Great reactions! You have so much energy and it shows that you are passionate about what you're talking about, plus you give us much info!

Yes! Thank you for doing this. Great content as always! Epica got their name from the album 'III Ways to Epica' by Kamelot, so it seems fitting if you would do Kamelot soon :) I would suggest doing 'The Haunting Live at Norway (2006)' as I think you would enjoy the theatrical atmosphere and because it features Simone Simons from Epica (who is also married to Kamelot's keyboard player Oliver Palotai). Alternatively I would really enjoy seeing a reaction to the live rendition of 'Elizabeth (I, II & III)' as it is an extremely expressive performance. Thanks again :)

Well done pointing out the change of placement. Not many other vocal coaches focus on it and it's massively complicated to do in such a quick switch.

If you want to hear an instant switch from a pop sound to opera, check out Kristin Chenowith singing "The Girl in 14-G". One sylable, she's in her usual Broadway style, the next, she's singing Wagner like she's at the Bayreuth Festival. I've never heard any singer switch styles that far that quickly. And she makes it look easy.
