  • Good trained voice but nothing special. The voice itself is not too rich or expressive and as technique it's standard for any opera singer.

    I appologize if I offended someone's tastes.

  • bellisimaaaaaaaa y gran vozzz.

  • Hey I wondered all the trolls in Tarja's videos are gathering.. and here I found the lot of you :)

    I also see that instead discussing about this video, still Tarja is the main topic of discussion.

    --

    I propose to declare these: "places for the mentally ill and society dropouts".

    This way all of you can gather, repeat the same sermons, and convince one another that everyone is wrong and yourselves are right.

    --

    Unlike you, I will press "dislike" and get on my way.

    This is what normal people do.

  • @MrNakhrul y usted que hace aquí? si tu eres el principal troll de Lori Lewis, que estúpido sos!

  • @klahuss

    I have nothing against Lori and I am listening Therion since the 90's.

    My problem is with you, with your clone accounts and with your fanaticism on the matter.

  • @MrNakhrul deje de ser estupido. Usted no viene al caso!

  • @klahuss

    What did you say? That your mother sucks cock for a dollar?

    Sorry I don't know your language well, you should try and use english for a change.

  • @MrNakhrul la puta madre tuya pide un dolar, pero la cago y tuvo un burro, o sea, tu!!

  • Beautiful soprano i love you loriiii ♥ but the real queen of metal is VIBEKE STENE ♥♥♥

  • She is the best ^^ greetings from Costa Rica!!!! I love her. ^^

  • Lori is a coloratura soprano, a very rare voice indeed. Tarja is a lyric soprano, so they are different and cant be compared. But obviously, Lori can control her voice better live. Still like both.

  • @mikewill9511 y que tiene que ver la coloratura con lo lirico ???

  • @mikewill9511 both are lyric voices. coloraturas are not rare.. just pure coloraturas, which have a rare agility in their voices. Which none of them are and will never be. To hear what a coloratura can sing listen to Anna Moffo, Damrau, Dessay, Sutherland. All have lyric or dramatic voices and still have coloratura in their voice(agility). The pure coloratura soprano sounds like Ingeborg Hallstein, Lily Pons, ofc there are also others.

  • eres una belleza lori te amo atte otniel

  • How can anyone compare Lewis with a woman who's voice fades off when singing live and can't control her vibratto (Tarja)

  • @Felinestance

    That 'fading' is called 'singing piano' or pianissimo maybe., depending what you heard.

    Tarja's vibrato is perfectly controlled, your problem is that you wish her to sound like the fast and uniform operatic vibrato.

    She had a period when she sang with that kind of vibrato and sounded "operatic" she just evolved.

    --

    Your problem is that you wish to hear metal + opera.

    I consider this abberant (just personal taste) and Tarja does not do that. At least not anymore.

  • @MrNakhrul Quite the opposite, now that (recently) I saw her singing some real lyrical pieces with harus I can see that she is finnally improving.

  • @MrNakhrul A vibrato in this style of music has almost always been regular, and I can tell she's not experimenting because even when you try to percieve the supposed effect she is trying to achieve you can hear how she looses control, and about the fading out....come on! you can give excuses forever but she can't use it all the tme, even in the parts that need power?

  • @Felinestance

    I respect your opinion but it's so wrong that I find it exhausting to explain.

    "A vibrato in this style of music" - what style of music? Tarja is singing at least 3 totally different styles.

    "has almost always been regular" - IF you were refering to opera, it has been - because it helps projection .. having no microphone.

    Tarja uses all kinds of vibrato, including this traditional one - in "Oceanborn" era, when she was around 19-20 she already mastered it.

  • @MrNakhrul She mastered it at that time when she was 21 - 25 as you say, but she lost it due to lack of practice. Tarja at this point was still a rock singer, if she had intended it to be that way (her vibrato) she would have done it in the recordings as well. Still, she is singing very well now, and might keep improving so I really don't understand why this discussion is going on. :P

  • @Felinestance

    Uniform vibrato depersonalizes a voice and that's why she mixes it now with styles taken from other areas - classical or non classical.

    "when you try to perceive the supposed effect she is trying to achieve" - probably you are God and understand the supposed effect that's in her mind; then you compare it with the "missed" effect ..

    Hope you get my drift, you are supporting a supposition using another supposition.

    Both wrong btw.

  • @Felinestance "you can give excuses" - excuses for what? You like or not, she is considered one the best (maybe the best) in her business. Excuses could bring marginalized fans who worship mediocre opera dropouts. -- "opera is a sang theater, what you mean is lyrical singing" - what I mean is opera. Here's Habanera for eg /watch?v=nJ3h4LerUkE -- Lost what from "lack of practice" - Tarja was performing classical in parralel with NW. She is doing it since 1997.
  • @MrNakhrul hmmm I thought you weren't just another Tarja fan but whatever...I'll just answer one thing: that what you showed me is not opera, it's juat an opera aria, but she's never participated in an opera, anyone can just sing an aria (varying in quality of course), but being selected for an opera is another.

  • @Felinestance

    It's getting chaotic, I was done. OK, replying to this:

    "hmmm I thought you weren't just another Tarja fan but whatever.."

    - she is not an opera singer and never will be - said that herself. That takes whole career dedication and body changes that for her and her music direction are not favorable.

    - about fandom. my collection includes from Pavarotti to Damrau and from Elvis to Angela Gossow.

    Tarja is the only one I consider myself a fan of and the only voice I love.

  • @MrNakhrul THEN WHY THE FUCK DO YOU KEEP BRINGING UP OPERA EXAMPLES!

  • @Felinestance

    R: "why bring opera examples"

    - to show you that Tarja can do opera with skill and with ease

    - to show that opera is not some superior kind of art; it is such, only for pretentious individuals who don't really know opera

    - because Lory sings metal like singing opera - which is bad taste. So for comparing in the same coordinates, I showed Tarja singing an opera aria. She is superior to say at least.

  • @Felinestance

    And finally, I hope:

    The point is: some metalheads want to feel "cult" and listen to Lori.

    Cant really LOVE her voice because in opera there really are voices that really blow your mind - if you like opera, that is.

    --

    Cannot care less, from my first post until now I was referring to the fucktards who are spamming Tarja's videos with "Lori/Vibeke/Floor/Bugs Bunny" are better.

  • @MrNakhrul Tarja might be better, but I stand her voice live. I just feel like she's using way too much vibrato. And her singing is soulless to me also because her vibrato. It sometimes makes Tarja sound like she's out of tune (even though she isn't). That's why I prefer Lori. She controls her vibrato much better for my taste and sings with a lot emotions.

  • @subwaytosally18642

    Tarja controls her vibrato only when singing classical, in rock she does not even think about it (said that herself in a recent interview).

    This is a huge difference right here, one that most don't get: in rock Tarja sings rock woth classical technique. Lori (attempts to) sings opera coloratura in metal.. excuse me if I want to puke, the result sounds like shit.

    So, you "feel" that Lory transmits more emotion because she CONTROLS more?

    :)

    All righty then.

  • @subwaytosally18642

    On the other hand you were wrong all along. If you compare strictly the opera/classical voice, Tarja is better technically and has supreme control. Check out for eg her performing Carmen, too see how she combines slow/fast and even choked vibrato.

    Lastly, I cannot even consider Lori of entering a "contest" with Tarja, because Tarja was a powerhorse soloist all her life.

    Lori just sings generic/easy/short coloratura here and there in Therion and AD.

  • @MrNakhrul I'm not an expert, I just like to listen to music. Tarja might be better, but I don't care because I don't like her that much. It's as simple that.

  • @subwaytosally18642

    Then don't use technical arguments. It's as simple that.

    In any case, my original post was about something else and directed towards other people. Like my retard friend @khlauss here who did tons of "versus" videos, trolls every Tarja video and does not even bother to speak english.

  • @MrNakhrul I just can say who I prefer and why. That's what I did. And if you read closely, I wrote "I just feel like..." which means that it's my opinion and that it hasn't to be right. I know I'm unfailable.

  • @subwaytosally18642

    You "feel" a lot of intrinsic technicalities it seems. You may be a natural, who knows :)

  • @MrNakhrul Or maybe, I have a preferance for singers whoe are technically limited. I don't know.

  • @MrNakhrul And, just a question: What are you doing here even though obviously don't Lori? I was wondering about that.

  • @Felinestance

    True, she trained towards church music at Sibellus, then towards chamber music at Koln. But really, her first performance of Carmen was exceptionally good.

    There's no point man - I write, you write back and so on.

    --

    It's a matter of how we see art, of taste, of what music we listened to or practiced when we grew up etc

    My problem was with people from here flaming Tarja's videos.

    See you.

    

  • @Felinestance

    This style of music has no vibrato. And many times it involves growling. I was talking about metal, you were talking about opera. This means that you are looking for something where it should not be.

    Lori Lewis sings full operatic in a genre that has nothing to do with opera.

    Compared with professional ladies in opera today she is mediocre.

    Compared with "metal queens" like Tarja or Floor (even Simone Simons although she is lower lvl) again she is nothing.

  • @TheRicochet4 of course dear, everything you say is true

  • @MrNakhrul Still, this is all old news, since that harus concert she showed of really well, so I'm expecting more of her now. :) And Nightwish has never been opera, opera is a sang theater, what you mean is lyrical singing.

  • A very talented queen of metal!Tarji also is one of the best!

  • With this voice you are beautiful any look you have...

  • Lori is hot as fuck, now please shuddup.

  • She is wonderful one of the best female singers !

  • id hit it somoen said shes homely so am i so it kinda balances out i guess :)

  • Yes, It's Lori, beautiful eyes, beautiful voice, sexuality. A WOMAN.

  • @soulgorden Lori lewis is the best 4ever!

  • @klahuss 100%

  • Love her!

  • Comment removed

  • do you call your songs?

  • Awesome voice, but patronising to say she's beautiful. She's pretty homely with make-up on, so fuck knows how she'd look like without.

  • @Avradizimir I know how she looks without makeup. Absolutely normal and quite pretty/

  • @Avradizimir Agreed! Melissa is way more beautiful!

  • @SkuldBR is more beautiful, but less talented

  • @Avradizimir Oh who are you to talk. She looks absolutely beautiful! She's a goddess!

  • I'd choose the singers of Therion anyday

  • @Bleedthewineunholy, I second your comment and the poster you mentioned. It pisses me off when people call Turunen the best operatically trained singer in metal, which is obviously bull since she does plenty of things a classically trained singer shouldn't do. As much as im a fan, shes a horrible singer. For one her diction is lousy and she doesn't use her diaphragm properly, plus she does the whole annoying vibrato thing. Anyway I don't want to make this a versus debate but if I had to choose

  • Бесподобный голос! С ума схожу ,когда ее слышу!

  • Amazing video and photos!

  • потрясающий вокал

  • @qliphaNaamah ......exactly agree with you, sHe is beautiful woman w ith amazing soprano!!!!!!!!!!

  • I ever though that I would find someone better than Tarja...

    WWWOOOOWW!! The voice of Lori is AMAZING!!!!

  • She is better than Tarja, way batter, in fact she's the only female singer in metal I heard who is prefect live. Not good, perfect, never heard a dud note come from her mouth.

  • @Eerielai THANK YOU!!! I was just saying the exact same thing to someone last night, she's the only vocalist I can truthfully say is consistently perfect live, I've never heard her crack, miss, run out of breath, or go flat. She is the soprano all other metal vocalists in this genre need to learn from.

  • @BleedTheWineUnholy I agree Lori Lewis is brilliant and one of my favourite vocalists, but I have heard other amazing singers who sound perfect live, like Floor Jansen. Even if a singer has a bad night, they can still be an amazing singer.

  • @dmteply I know what you mean, Floor is amazing, but the point I was making was that I have never heard Lori have a bad night, EVER. Every other singer in the genre has a few videos on youtube where they had a bad night. I'm not saying having a bad performance once in a while takes away from a singer's talent. I'm just saying out of all the singers on here, Lori's the only one that is CONSISTENTLY perfect, not just occasionally perfect.

  • @BleedTheWineUnholy Yes I know what you mean, she is amazing. I mentioned Floor because I've always heard her being consistent as well. :) At least I haven't heard a video of her having a bad night so far.

  • My god , she rivals Tarja... IN fact i think I like her style better...

  • It is unlikely not to fall in love with her...

  • She's so bloody brilliant!!!... love her style, her voice's colour... Lori rules!!! \m/ =D

  • she have an amazing voice!

  • she have an amazing voice!

  • I really love her voice... so strong and sweet at the same time... perfect harmony =D

    I love Symphonic metal ;)

  • Oh por Dios esta mujer humilla a todas las demas!!!!

    O_O

    OMFG!!!!

  • Lori Lewis registe in the same voice as Tarja Turunen the best most beautiful voices gothic metal.

    i very enjoy Therion with Lori Lewis and Katavina Litja

  • I am amazed there is other talent rather than Tarja

  • @Vomear You need widen your taste. I love Tarja, but there are many other wonderful singers as well.

  • Wow Lori Lewis is my favorite soprano ever!!!!!

    I love her voice it´s sooo perfect and she is extremely awesome!!

  • "dawn of the new athens" is a master piece

  • Боже, я люблю эту женщину.

  • ООооооо, наконец-то кто-то родной здесь замечен! :))

  • Дааа, есть немножко.

  • she is a dramatic agility soprano

  • what's the song in 1:42? Lori is awesome!!

  • Hymn to The Sun

  • Lori Is teh best , i love her voice is too strong, power and beautiful much better than others in this genre  <3

  • beutiful voice!

  • The real Beauty in Black! Also, she looks spectacular on "The Miskolc Experience" live at Miskolc. Where did u get that picture with her arms in sort of praying position? I'm in love with her in that photo.

  • In what seconds this photo exactly? I'll send you this foto if you want

  • Really? Thanks, Ill really appreciate it. The picture appears in 1:16.

    I owe you one.

  • O'key!! Send me you mail please :))

  • you can write me to megatherion thats my user name. the server is colombia and ends with com

  • please feel free to send me anything you want to share. Im a big Therion fan and love those beautiful women and their spectacular voices. Tks :))

  • Also, perhaps you know who are the girls in the live concert at wacken 2001? I'm specially interested in the redhead, I think she is beautiful.

  • O'key, no problem!

    What about Wacken 2001, I'll write you later

  • Beautiful woman with amazing soprano.

  • Lori es la raja wn!!! lejos la mejor vocalista de gothic metal

    excelente soprano!

  • Yes! You're right! Every song you tell correct!

  • can simeone plwase write for me the list of the songs ? ? ?

  • I think the very first bit (without vocals) is a part of Ancient Verses, then it's Schwarzalbenheim, Ancient Verses (thx qliphaNaamah), Ginnungagap, The Bluish Shade, ?, Der Mitternachtsloewe, The Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah, ?, Sun of the Sun, D'Oreste, Son of the Staves of Time, Artemis, Muspelheim, Lemuria, ? (might be The Loon), An Arrow from the Sun.

  • yeah¡¡¡ she has an awsome voice my 2nd fav. i have to say hehe

  • And who's your favorite?

  • mmm actually i like aloot of sopranos, therion has very good ones but my fav. is Simone Simons, the thing that i dont like of Epica that Simone doesnt (note: i love Epica 100%) express her true vocals, she does very well but i know she can hit higher and better vocals. Imgine her singing mmm Schwazalbenheim from Therion ha i think that was a bad example, but do yall get my point?

    but still Lori rocks...

  • The second song is =Ancient Verses= of Aesma Daeva.

  • Hermosa, encantadora, una voz implacable perfecta. Sencillamente la mejor

  • Lori is the best singer how I ever heared.

  • i love lori, she is beautiful

  • Lori rules

  • Oh yes, I agree with you, she's the best

  • Lori Lewis is wonderful. :D I think she is by far the most technically sound female singer in metal.
