Metalheads Unite! We have transformed this elite talent into a true metal aficionado. Elizabeth is truly one of the best

The woman. The myth. The legend. The opera singer turned metalhead who has given so much support to the Rock and Metal community in recent years. Expanding the point of view of many and increasing acceptance and understanding on the art and beauty of harsher genres. The one and only Charismatic Voice!

❤ Oh my goodness! I’ve been watching the Charismatic Voice for soooo long, but have NEVER seen Elizabeth sing until now! I am overcome with emotion and blown AWAY! Wow and wow and WOW! 💕❤️💕

This is why we care what she thinks. Talent polished to perfection. Brava!

Holy shit is this charismatic voice?

I think that Floor Jansen should do a reaction video to this ;)

I’m a metal guy but I think she just made me an opera fan too!

For those that don’t realize how physical a performance like this is, look at her at beginning and end. By the end she is sweating pretty hard. She worked that piece and it was awesome to watch. Elizabeth we so appreciate your performance and we love your enthusiasm in all you do.

The Charismatic Voice should react to this!

Wow. Didn’t know she could sing like this. How humble of her to always say something positive about every singer in her reaction videos and she always appreciates how every artist uses their own toolset in their own way. Especially when she is leagues above them in skill.

Been watching her reaction videos for a while now as I like her quirky shyness but also it was obvious she was musically trained , but I had no idea she was at this level . Brought me to tears !

I'm not an opera fan, but I think I'd pay to see her perform. Wow.

That little smirk and nod to the conductor like... “yeahhhh, I’m ready to kill this.”

Whenever I watched her reactions I always figured she'd be good but jesus, I never expected this.

This woman is amazing. Her reactions/opinions on other artist performances are entertaining to watch because there is just something about her ability to express untethered emotional thought. She can also speak French and German and sing Italian like nobody's business. If it turned out she knew martial arts I'd start seriously thinking she was the new 5th Element or something.

Arguably one of the most difficult opera to sing and Elizabeth nails it while making it look easy. She not only has the song memorized, but memorized in a German with the correct pronunciations! Bravo!

So amazing to see her practicing what she preaches! So many opera singers just focus on the technique and look like robots or mannequins up there singing. She conveys real emotion! Enough to even get a little bit of meaning in spite of not knowing the language.

Notice that her voice is not amplified in any way. Yes, the orchestra is controlling their levels, but she's projecting above everything. Goodness.

Queen Fabiola of Belgium gave you a standing ovation and applauded with the utmost enthusiasm...that says it all!!!!!!! She was an aristocrat and loved and KNEW Opera very well. That itself if amazing!!!

I love her expressions and the personality throughout. It's clear she gave it her all and she killed it!

Here from the Nightwish army. Stayed because holy crap our girl can sing! Elizabeth, you must have worked SO HARD for this! You go, girl!

Nightwish army here for our beautiful and talented Elizabeth 💕

And this amazing artist has made herself the beloved sweetheart of millions of KZfaq users and Metalheads - this is the Definition of Genius ❤

I am such a fan of Elizabeth. I grew up in a home with a father who was a famous American classical composer and pianist. My mother was a classically trained singer, but most of her career focused on composing. At the age of 5, I started studying voice, piano and several other instruments. Nobody pushed me to do it, but my love of music was so strong by that age. I had no choice but to pursue it. Over the next 15 years, I studied classical guitar, drums and became a good singer. Good. Not good enough to make a living, but good enough to work in studios, backing up other artists, etc. I've been to operas and classical performances in Vienna, Hamburg, London, New York and Los Angeles. Elizabeth...you are as good as any I have seen or heard. Why? Because many classical singers are so focused on technique that they fail to reach their audience with emotion and passion. In the late 1980s, I was in Vienna and saw Kathleen perform. She was amazing and she did a terrific job connecting with the audience. Her control was stunning. Her pronunciation was perfect. She was at times playful and at times serious. Her ability to sing intervals on pitch with no deviation was stunning...all while changing tempo or intensity. Strauss must have risen from his grave to congratulate her. Well, Elizabeth, you are, in my opinion, her equal. But what I love most about you is the fact that you can appreciate and review pop or rock music, where the singers don't begin to have your skills. My parents always looked down on rock or pop music. They were too damn caught up on pedigree. You on the other hand bring expert analysis, passion and joy to most people who don't know what a chromatic scale is or why it matters. You bring great joy to the masses with your videos and I thank you for what you are doing. I'm a big fan.

Nightwish fans check in here :D. And also: What a voice and what an interpretation! I'm amazed by such power and control of her voice. Beautiful.

And that's the PERFECT example of the difference between singing in an operatic style and true opera. Pure projection, no mic required!!! And damn, she's almost metal! I half expected to see her windmill or something...

I did not exspect her to be this staggeringly good.

Elizabeth is not only amazing opera singer but also a gifted ambassador of the opera to new internet audience. I hope it will help popularizing opera.

Wow. Now I understand why our girl Elizabeth, aka Charismatic Voice, can react to Floor Jansen's singing with such passion and knowledge! Funny to see a small channel like this getting overrun by the Nightwish Army. 😁

This is her performance in the Finals of the Queen Elisabeth Competition 2011 here in Belgium. I'm not into opera at all, but love her KZfaq channel The Charismatic Voice because of her enthusiasm in reacting to a wide diversity of songs and musical styles. She definitely shows that classical musicians can also be very open minded in music.

As a fan of TCV, this is also my first time hearing her sing. Words fail me!

Elizabeth Zharoff is a goddess of all music genres. Truly amazing.

Somewhere, maybe on a silver mountain, Ronnie James Dio is reviewing this and loving every minute of it.

Who is from The Charismatic Voice? Fantastic job, Elizabeth!

OMG. I had no idea what an extraordinary voice Elizabeth has😮.

I wish I could go back in time and be there applauding

I have this weird smirk on my face watching certain other "vocal coaches" on YT nowdays. Like, i've found humble gold in Ms Zharoff aka The Charismatic Voice and its given me trust and superpowers to spot all the fakers and pretenders out there.

Ms Zharoff, I have to apologize! I have become a fan of the charismatic voice because i learned more watching your videos than other critics and from years of practicing in church... but many other voice critics or reactors often have "meh" talent themselves, and I'm not proud of it, but I made assumptions... This performance knocked my socks off! That was a clean, bright, and beautifully resonant! You brought fire!!!

Until you hear it for real, live, in the flesh, you have no idea how much you need operatic soprano in your life. At the Last Night Of The Proms last year at the Albert Hall, I heard the incredible Lise Davidsen, the first operatic soprano I'd ever heard. And she blew my f**king mind. The first thought that came to my mind is "how the hell did I get to 58 without this in my life?"

To get tickled at her reactions and facial expression while reacting to so many different metal and rocks songs, and then actually not only hearing her but really listen to her sing…literally in tears right now! What an incredible, amazing, and absolutely beautiful singer and performer!!

Elizabeth Zharoff might be the most perfect creature ever to walk the earth. I'm smitten.

What an absolutely incredible performer. Been a fan of Liz and The Charismatic Voice for quite some time, and _this_ is my introduction? Floored. Absolutely floored. Also, eleven years ago? Woman hasn't aged a _day_ !

Wow! This performance IS metal! \m/ Elizabeth might not have realized it at the time, but she WAS metal before she listened to her first note of the genre.

This girl who was devestated by the brilliance of Dio singing is a treasure

If you were wondering if the Charismatic Voice had any credibility, I think your got your answer X10 just like I did.

I never realized how talented Elizabeth is!!! Her voice and technique are off the charts!!

Wow, Elizabeth can sing like this, and yet appreciates Heavy Metal. Kudos to the girl!

Not only is she gorgeous, but her set of pipes...oh my God 🤯 💖 Her husband is one of three luckiest men on the planet. I've watched her reaction videos, but this is the first time I've heard her soul.

Upon conclusion of the song, Elizabeth's facial expression shouts "yeah, that's right...I just sang the $#!+ outta that one!!" Bravo

Love watching her analyse the world of rock music.Had no idea she could sing like this.outstanding and so powerful.

I can honestly say that I've never sat through an entire operatic piece. The charismatic wonder nailed it. That's one for the bucket list. 😊

All her reaction videos gained so much credibility in my eyes now.

The best part of the video is definitely the first 15 or so seconds where you can see her mentally preparing for the task ahead and then softly nodding to the conductor with a "lets do this" look in her eyes. Also at the end i dunno why but it looks like she just wants to give everyone a hug but has to restrain herself and only handshake. Fun fact, elizabeths video of her reacting to herself has more views then this one.

An old metal-head here…and I’m utterly shredded by your rendition, Ms. Elizabeth! I may not understand your words, but I can feel your emotion! Thank you for your contribution to the world of music!!

I finally found Elizabeth doing her operatic thing! Try to imagine being in the room with her voice. I can barely. She’s a true gift to all of us. She’s taught me to appreciate life in a whole new way just by watching her unabashed responses to metal songs. Her fluttering eyelashes, her gorgeous smile, everything about her is mind blowing. I loved what she said about Randy Rhoads in particular. I’ll be a forever fan of The Charismatic Voice!

Wonderful performance! Also, much appreciation to Mozart's wonderful music. His dramatic 'showing off' music such as this and the Queen of the Night arias are always top drawer.

Jeez she went full on beast mode there.!

THE DIFFERENCES IN VOLUME touch me. She is very emotional in her singing. Powerful lungs. Very physically expressive. The time and effort it takes to get to this level of expertise eludes most of us. Notes I only hit when I stub my toe in the middle of the night. Love her! 😃❤

Not much of an opera fan, but the wondrous power and virtuosity of the performance by Elizabeth blows me away. I could listen for hours…..and will!

Holy Mother of Jesus, is there no end to your talent? Elizabeth, I’m speechless.. 😮

what a fantastic voice and technique she has. So adorable.

As a former concertmaster, I would have loved to perform this piece with her. Elizabeth has an incredible set of pipes. Love her reaction videos, but her operatic voice blows me away 💜🖤

Elizabeth has such a Charismatic Voice! I love it!

Elizabeth, `You are a star. No more, no less. You are loved. Simple as that

I had heart attack 😭...omg is this charismatic voice that I've been watching recently 🙂..... what a talented woman

I was blown away and memorized by her singing. She was going through so many emotions that she was pouring sweat at the end. I love emotional singers cause you can truly see their passion for music

Still wishing Elizabeth would perform again live professional like this because I would go anywhere to see and hear it live!!

i will never understand how anyone can sing this way, just amazing

AMAZING. And YES, Floor Jensen sent me here.

Wow! I’ve watched quite a few of her reaction videos and knew that she knew her stuff, but I didn’t imagine her voice to be this professional!! I’m thoroughly impressed to say the least!!

Holy cow. I had no idea she could sing like this. Brava!!!

Elizabeth is truly the voice of an Angel here on earth that gave me goosebumps for 8 minutes straight. Bravo She is a Legend and now the Charismatic Voice!

Phenomenal woman. Found her as the charismatic voice on youtube reacting to Floor Jansen. Then switched to her website and came here. This extremely gifted woman is a class of her own. I am extremely impressed. Totally blown away. Such a lovely woman, what a charisma, and what a voice. Out of this world. I hope she will sing a duet some day with Floor. That would be an absolute blast.

I came across her channel 'The Charismatic Voice' only yesterday. Have since binged and re-watched her metal reactions - I have never before been into reaction videos ... Not that I needed any proof that she knows what she is talking about! But damn, what a performance! Einfach nur großartig! Would love to see her and Floor (or Simone of Epica) nerd about singing and about complex symphonic metal music!

OMG!!! I have followed CV for years and this is the first time I've heard her !!! 😍 Besides that It's in German. She's making German sound like Angels.

HOLY SHIT!! What an incredible voice!

Bravo Elizabeth!!! Bravo!!!

Wow, just wow !!! Just when you thought you couldn't love Elizabeth any more I finally see this ! What a talented I dividial, yet so humble at the same time.

I didn't know I loved classical music and opera until I heard this!!! I'm a heavy metal person and didn't know I could like classical music until I seen and listened to this

Nightwish fan here - I was clapping hands at home at 1:45 am ... Respect

She melted faces wow that’s a hell of a talent😊

After hearing The Charismatic Voice reactions, I just HAD to hear her sing opera. I was NOT disappointed. I am a classical music fan but generally not an Opera fan. However, finally hearing E.Z. sing is a sheer joy!

Damn! I have been watching her reaction videos for awhile and decided on a whim to see if there were any of her singing. I had no idea! She is absolutely amazing...

Nightwish Army here 💛💚 Completely mesmerized by this video!!! 😍🔥👐

Can watch this over and over again and am still stunned by her voice. Fellow metalhead that learned about Elizabeth from her channel evaluating some of my favorite songs also

I'm impressed by Elizabeth as a singer and now understand how she knows so much about singing. Always very expressive and lovely,

This IS 18th Century heavy metal - Mozart, Beethoven, et al were the Ritchie Blackmores and Eddie Van Halens of their era. It's no wonder at all that Elizabeth has developed such a love for the modern masters of metal - her influences were theirs as well.

Have seen some (definitively not all, but working on fixing that) of Elizabeths videos (charismatic voice) where she reacts and analyzes other artists voices. It is absolutely clear in those that she LOVES music, and she REALLY knows her stuff. They are an absolute joy to see due to her knowledge and enthusiasm. Here she proves without a shadow of a doubt that she can back up her talk. Would love seeing her on stage performing in a real opera.

Wow!!!!! That applause at the end means you own the joint.

Kicking ass here for sure and showing is all what the standard should be

WOW 😳 Holy...wow. I mean, I knew she's an opera singer, but I had no idea what to expect. Well, she's definitely a true soprano!! Absolutely stunning and breathtaking. WOW.

This is exactly why I respect her vocal analysis! So beautiful in range and style!

Came here, first for your Nightwish reactions, and breakdowns, but was utterly "Floored" by this performance! Your intonation, and control of those scaler melodic 16th note passages, at that tempo, at the end of the piece - absolutely WORLD CLASS! BRAVO! And...yes, I do agree, you are not only worthy, but a "peer" of the Valkyrie Goddess; You both need to Skype a sit down "coffee chat." Let's make this happen, guys n' gals - shall we?

I can see why she’s drawn to metal performances. This right here, was so freaking metal. Outstanding.

Nightwish army here -- wow this lady can sing

I'm blown away by her power, utter beauty, grace, and charm. New fan.

What an amazing use of her singing hole!! She gave it her all.

Omg my first time Hearing Elizabeth sing

Such grace! I am pretty sure that, toward the end, after Ms. E. shook hands with the conductor and concertmaster, as she turned upstage toward the orchestra, she requested that they stand for recognition as well. Maestra move!

Stunning. What beautiful singing. And such a difficult piece as well. Another who was brought here from her Nightwish reactions and analysis. I hope to see her sing with the Philadelphia Orchestra someday.
