DragonForce Singer Audition - Eli Prinsen

[ManofWar55]

They're just mad that you can sing outside of the studio. They pulled a Metallica/Les Claypool on ya!

[Lunaticonx]

He should be the man. Thanks man, you have a great voice.

[DreadKyller]

when singing very high it reminds me of ZP in some ways.

[europowermetal]

amazing!



[FretburnerintheskY]

Here! The high bits were truly epic as fuck, be in my band dude, the force is lost to the dragons folly!! But well done anyway!

[thesacrificedx]

@FretburnerintheskY Thanks bro.

[pugnentgary]

@FretburnerintheskY He would have brought balance to the force.

[DreadKyller]

May The Dragonforce Be With You... Now that I did not see coming

[Magicquel567]

Weird that they deleted your other video man, I love Dragonforce, but sometimes they can be... ughh too commercial or something :P

[thesacrificedx]

@Magicquel567 I have to admit, it cut me deep as they were one of my alltime favorite bands.

[Magicquel567]

@thesacrificedx I could imagine mate

[follian]

@thesacrificedx I have a suprize for you on my channel!

[gokijin]

AUDITION FOR KAMELOT!! Hurry up and tell them they don't need to look any further that you're the man for the job!

[ZulfadhliARahman]

@gokijin I agree with you, man. Eli Prinsen if you're reading this, get an audition for KAMELOT!! They're also good as DragonForce!

[iKeyboard15]

AMAZING! how did you get the backing track?

[thesacrificedx]

@iKeyboard15 Thanks. I got the track off of youtube and then mixed it together with thier demo.

[orologiaioinutile]

you are a fucking pro XD

[cashprinter5000]

and r u gona sing throught the fire and flames

[cashprinter5000]

felt its better than the original

[halford3256]

solid...a pro..

[WinterMadness05]

OMG this is going to win PLEASE PLEASE PLEAASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[rokkit1988]

This audition is a brilliant idea. Regardless of who wins, they'[ve exposed quite a few brilliant singers (especially Eli) to the public who can probably write their ticket anywhere in the power metal world after this.

[ChiefOfCenturia]

two words: penis discharge

[zpdragonforce95]

great!!your voice is incredible!!!!!!!!the next dragonforce singer for me!!!!!

can you give me sone singing tips?i don't study singing,but i try!:)

this is my version, but is record in a very bad way,without phone and at the 1 attempt!:)

[CINDYBISMARCK]

better than original???you are all crazy guys!!!!

[Tiberiusize]

@CINDYBISMARCK

he is 

[Necromal]

:46 Herman should be a mime.

[hoagiesupreme]

lol looks like zp gave this vid a thumbs down. jealous.....

[Hyrekia]

I stick by what I said. If they don't pick you they better pick someone DAMN GOOD (though it's hard to imagine someone can fit into their songs as well as you) or I'll never go to another show.

[hugagab]

good

[Darkonox]

Man your voice is amazing, the better one that i found.

[serpenttao]

Your voice over this song takes some getting used to, it's unusual to hear. But I think you're able to bring DragonForce to a new level with your amazing and unsually clean voice. I really hope they'll pick you for this man.

[mrlolzguy]

Awesome!!! u can definitely replace ZP

[StrkSS]

In my opinion, here is why this song is the best... 5:20-7:24. Eli, if you dont get picked by Dragonforce, please tell me you will keep singing power metal.

[dougclub1]

... I almost hate to say it, but this is just as good if not better than with ZP. So powerful!

[daemoss1986]

Youre fucking amazing dude! you must be the new Dragonforce singer seriously your voice rocks more melodic than ZP i like the two versions but this one is better for me keep singin!

From Spain.

[PirataBataco]

Love Ur voice!!!!!

[MichedRaud]

I think you got a better voice than Zp's... in my opinion. Hope you make it! :D Long live DragonForce!

[GuillermoSmyser]

I've never heard the version with Canon at the end. That's pretty cool.

[Dnine1]

Dude! you should be the new singer in Dragonforce! you sing just as good as ZP!

[fatboy30179]

@Dnine1 Zp Has nothing on this guy. ZP was a decent vocalist. He was a little to 80's. His voice lost the melodic tone it was supposed to have.

[Malik82691]

Nothing's better than the original.....but Wow! 0_0 10/10

[ckgladu]

If you don't win the contest Eli, Dragonforce's name will be degraded. End of story.

On a side note about this song, I'm amazed at the double tracking vocals you did as well as the harmony parts. It's practically all in unison. That's just amazing.

[thesacrificedx]

@ckgladu Thank you very much for noticing the harmonies & stuff...I didn't have much to work with so I just "winged" them...Thanks again,

ELi

[Tim7676Tim]

hahah, so funny, you make it sound like a better song than the original. Also funny, at nightwish, everyone wants Tarja back, and here everyone wants you in the group. One more thing: YOU ROCK!

[PhantomSkillz57]

Wait i'm SO confused is Eli Prinsen Dragonforce's new singer or are they still in the selection stage? If their still in the selection stage can someone please tell me the top 5 that woud be great thanks............and bro YOUR VOICE IS...............DRAGONFORCE!!­!! :D I'm with you all the way!

[kevinsayahofficial]

@PhantomSkillz57 they havnt chosen the singer yet, but i have a really good feeling its going to be eli, he is probably the best so far

[AtorpWarrior]

This is great! Better than the original song! You have a very powerful voice!

[DevineCrimsonThunder]

Have you heard anything back from Dragonforce? You are friggen amazing.

[sheartrigger8]

Dragonforce....Please.....Choo­se Eli.....

[BobTheSkeleton]

*ding ding ding* I think we have a winner, this guy should get the Job

[ivanforcex]

dawm man that was gooood .. please cover BLACK FIRE .. if you do that .. i´ll do what ever you want man ... WHATEVER!

[dsisa27]

Fuck yeah!!!! You're sooo great Eli :-) As I had written a reaction on your Last Journey Home video, I really hope you'll become the singer of Dragonforce :-) Keep goin' and good luck =)

[SlaughterOfDeath1]

You have to be the next singer! You sound great!

[sleyerek]

this song is too tiny, small, little for u... I WANT TO HEAR U IN "WHERE DRAGONS RULE" OR "STARFIRE" :D

lol really ZP is like a little worm to you

[StryperandJesus]

i think i cried a little.!!!

[dragganforce]

On the wings of death by the hands of doom

By the darkest light from the darkest moon

Crossing silent seas over mountains high

For we stand as one tonight

...just sooo epic

[wood1234627]

you will be next DragonForce singer:D

[tekken3y0sh1m1tsu1]

YOU BETTER BEAT PELLEK...YOU'RE THE BEST SO FAR, YOU'RE ORIGINAL AND NOT TOO OVER-PRODUCED...GOOD LUCK!! >__<

[as101345207]

if ears could eat...

[MiraiNoMikh]

oh man, U RE SO FUCKIN, F U C K I N GREAT

the choosen one D8

shit.. I WANT YOU TO BE THE NEW SINGER!! D:

[superstraightedge15]

You amaze me Eli, I hope someone see's this, because you have a future, keep on it man! You've just gained a huge fan.

[sheartrigger8]

Dude, I get major goosebumbs every time I hear you sing. I really hope you get the part man.

[SoldierOfSunrise]

A very, very impressive performance, mate! You are a good singer, no doubt.

I'm a singer of a rock/metal band too. Dear Eli, would you be so kind as to send me the backing track of this song?

[orhsomebody]

You have to be the singer! Why do they still wait!

[thesacrificedx]

@freemusictutorials1 Hahahaha!!!! Dude, thank you so much for the comment! Probably my favorite one i've gotten yet! "dangit!"

[SuperSmashbros111]

four words:

BETTER

THAN

THE

ORGINAL

[thesacrificedx]

@SuperSmashbros111 WOW! Thank you very much!

[filsommer]

@SuperSmashbros111 Hey, it's GREAT, but Zp's voice in DF will never be replaced. Sorry :D

[theMFmtg]

@SuperSmashbros111 Lol, he's very good, but no one will ever be as great as ZP. though, if he doesn't come back, this should be the new voice.

[gutialm]

@SuperSmashbros111

Please don't go that far :D, but it's true, that he has an epic voice!

[Haddockxyz300]

Heroes Of Our Time!For next one :)

[D4K44R1]

Hey Eli, I noticed you made this one as a request. (sort of) Anyway i was wondering if you could do Heroes of our time, it's one of my favourite DragonForce songs and your undoubtedly the best of all of the DragonForce auditioners, if thats a word, if you can find the time i'm sure i'm not the only one who would benefit from it. Thanks.

Good Luck with getting the part.

[thesacrificedx]

@D4K44R1 You know man, Heros of our time is probably my favorite DF song and if I could get my hands on an instrumental track to do it with, I would LOVE to do that one!

[D4K44R1]

@thesacrificedx

Alright, i'll be sure to start looking :)

[ozzfestt2007]

@thesacrificedx Good luck Eli, your voice is so powerful

[thesacrificedx]

@ozzfestt2007 Thank you!

[scorchfrost]

your voice reminds me of iron maiden <333

[thesacrificedx]

@scorchfrost Thanks, I love Maiden!

[Haddockxyz300]

Nice...You took the demo!

[thesacrificedx]

@Haddockxyz300 Right on!

[PokkiTube]

How long did it take for your voice to be this strong? How was your practice schedule?

[thesacrificedx]

@PokkiTube Years, until I found the right teacher. As far as practice, I still do daily warm ups before singing and a hardcore vocal workout 3 to 5 times a week along with a regiment of tons of water, cardio,etc.

[tuturuturu1]

eeh got any link i can use to find ur band? i cant find it D: maybe its cuz im mexican and ppl doesnt like us :c lol jk D:

[mathbles703]

Atta boi, showing them again. I knew this was gonna happen, can't wait for TTFATF. And rocking the end once again my friend :D

[thesacrificedx]

@mathbles703 Hahaha! Thanks buddy! TTFATF is next!!!!

Great to hear from you again.

[mathbles703]

No problem man, you got all my support!

BTW, excellent job on the karoake mix...much better than i did :P

[thesacrificedx]

Thanks man, I really wish I would have had a quality backing track for this one since it's a favorite of alot of DF fans(myself included). Also, I need to get someone else to run the sound next time since I keep getting the delay mix too hot.

The next one on the "request list" is Through the Fire and The Flames..which I actually do have a good backing track for. People have also asked for Fury of The Storm and many others which I'd be more than happy to do if I had some backing tracks! ;)

[PowerDaso]

Awesome! It might help on the guys decission, too. I think you should've used the remastered version of the song, though.

[tuturuturu1]

wow thats amazing dude :D got any other material? u just got urself a mexican fan XD

[thesacrificedx]

@tuturuturu1 Yes, you can check out my current band, The Sacrificed 

[ls1jay]

Great job, Bro!

[thesacrificedx]

@ls1jay Thanks Brotha!

[kattfan]

Awesome voice dude!

[thesacrificedx]

@kattfan Thank you very much.

[DFleming92]

bro............that was amazing. my favorite song ever mixed with the next dragonforce singer (i hope). i will be listening to this A LOT lol it's frickin' awesome. Rock on.

[thesacrificedx]

@DFleming92 Thanks bro, your support means alot.

[stargazer93]

Wow, this is great. Even better than the audition. Your voice is perfect, not just for DragonForce, but any rock/metal band would be lucky to have you as frontman.

[thesacrificedx]

@stargazer93 Wow! I can't thank you enough for the amazing comment!

[leoandmyles]

Eli you are amazing if you win which im sure you will throw a party and we will all be there! one song which you should try is Dawn over a new world on sonic firestorm i think you would really nail that ;-)

[thesacrificedx]

@leoandmyles Right on! ;)

[666ShadowDragon]

vocals are amazing but the echo gets on my nerves a bit :) overall, good cover, I've heard worse. Hope you get in the band, would be awesome.

Don't suppose you could send the the backing track for this could you??

[BztnO]

Eli you are awesome, i need say that.  THE METAL STILL ALIVE lml

[thesacrificedx]

@BztnO Thank you so much! Metal Forever..

[TheJuicyPoo]

Ok Eli I have to be honest..........THAT WAS AWESOME :D I knew you would do a great job here and I just think you are perfect for Power metal. You are by far the best of the auditions and I dont see any of the others trying different songs out. Amazing high pitch tones and I cant wait for TTFAF. You have my vote as always and please let Herman and Sam see this. Good Luck and may the Dragonforce be with you :)

[thesacrificedx]

@TheJuicyPoo Thank you so much!! I do hope Herman and Sam watch this not only as an audition but also as a tribute.

[pugnentgary]

The ending is epic! The way it all works together with the viceo and stuff.

[thesacrificedx]

@pugnentgary Thanks man.

[as101345207]

geez, best audition yet! just turn down that sort of "echoing" effect

again, i hope you get the job

[thesacrificedx]

@as101345207 Thanks! Yeah, sorry about the effects mix..I should let someone else do the "producing" and just stick to singing I think..

[as101345207]

@thesacrificedx dont get me wrong, the mixing and all isnt bad just saying the "echo"

[PowerMetalJBeans]

delicious!

[thesacrificedx]

@PowerMetalJBeans Thanks!

[Bazoleandro]

Very good, congratulations!

His voice fits very well in this song, but I think with less effect would be much better, so his voice would be clearer.

congratulations, I support you, Eli in Dragon Force!

Leandro Bazoli / Brazil.

[thesacrificedx]

@Bazoleandro Thank you. I had some trouble mixing this due to the music track which is a mixture of the original music and a karaoke version of the song which the drums were barely audible. That tempo fluctuation made the timing difficult. I know the effects were too "hot", I was trying out my new TC Helicon pedal. When I do TTFATF I should have the thing figured out...I hope...=P

[SM2lgy]

@thesacrificedx It's because you're using the unfinished demo version of Valley Of The Damned, which wasn't recorded to a click track and has tempo fluctuations all over the place..

[Dragonich777]

Eli, I've listened to other auditions for the new lead singer of DragonForce and all I can say is.... YOU ARE THE ONE AND ONLY CHOICE!! Even the way you sing has "I AM AWESOME" written all over it!

Good luck, mate!

[thesacrificedx]

@Dragonich777 Thanks mate! It really means alot, what you said.

[Thrangor7]

You have so much Talent. Great Job man

[thesacrificedx]

@Thrangor7 Thank you so much.

[BboyStepsReborn]

Awesome man, absolute killer.

So good. Honestly, if you don't become the new singer of DF omg I will take a life.

lol

Good work mate.

[thesacrificedx]

@BboyStepsReborn Hahahaha! Let's hope it doesn't come to that! Hahaha!

Rock on!

[BboyStepsReborn]

@thesacrificedx Lol...true

But still omg...Honestly I can't wait to hear your voice on some new Dragonforce material.

Would own this joint.

[D4K44R1]

ELI PRINSEN FTW!!!!

seriously dude i hope you get the job.

[thesacrificedx]

@D4K44R1 Thanks!

[Magicquel567]

fuck yeah eli :) I was shocked when I saw the title, I thought/hoped, it said something like you were the new singer :P but great job again mate

[thesacrificedx]

@Magicquel567 Thanks mate!
