nossa, sim

Yeah I almost didn't click because I didn't want to watch fails

Really well organized clickbait, GG Bella chris

Me too. Although I don't like most of these bands/singers because I don't think there is a place for opera in metal, but I must admit all of them are doing great job performing live. Alissa White-Gluz is my girl from this list, and Angela Gossow was even better.

CHRISS

Wow you are here. Hail Nanowarriors!

And then there's Sharon Den Adel who never received any vocal training but manages to be up to par with the rest of them

man Sharon’s got the voice of an angel

Floor did this as well on Dutch radio

bro ! how i'm not surprised to see you pop out here haha, i'm a big fan of Sharon aswell, she has such a great voice, i'd love to catch them live one day

@@xiphos Bruh! xD

Absolutly agree....Gorgeous voices

Sharon disappoints some times

Live there is always some special touch. Awesome!

Live versions are much better than studio, for sure. Live acts are real touch of music and emotions.

Same here.

Most of them use both autotune and melodyne in records. But you know... This is like guitar effects. If you bad - even the best effects don't turn you to Steve Vai. More like Vteve Sai... Same with autotune or melodyne - if you can't sing... You still can't. Recording vocals is super hard, so autotune and other tools save money and time.

Genre has nothing to do with ability, you know that right?

Very much the truth. Very well said, Sir. I agree 1000%.🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏

@@loomick it does

@@666mephistophelesgaming so if you play metal then you must have more musical talent? Is that what youre saying?

Buy some motorcycle earplugs. They're designed to drown out some sounds more than others. And while it dampens the overall sound, it saves your hearing and makes the music overall sound better imo.

Thanks for saving my time i guess

except amy lee... she sucks in live

@@achillesamusic Why saving your time? It's some kickass metal singers at their best. No time wasted in listening anyway, imo.

¡Larga vida! 🤘🤘

Oh is that what's its called "symphonic metal" hmm ok well that makes more sense that its put in its own bracket.

@@71771PAULTHEWALLOFSOUND there's a plethora of types of metal, maybe you should look them up.

@@nicolemelo8994 I was being sarcastic. I just don't consider that as metal, and that's just my opinion which doesn't mean much..but still i could name many all female and female front singers that i consider metal. To me it's like calling Green day punk. But then I'm old school, was brought up with sabbath, maiden (Paul de anno) maiden not that woosy Bruce, just because it has guitar doesn't automatically make it metal. It's symphonic rock, not metal.

Heard Guano Apes live, still disapointed, as there was no angst and she avoided every harsh vocal part... only smooth kitten vocals 😖

@@marinaperovic8218 maybe she did that intentionally. I mean, the artist can sing in their own ways. And maybe you happened to hear and see the soft mellow ones.

Yes! I love Tatiana’s vocals!

@@marinaperovic8218 I'd be disappointed to, from what I've seen she's great live, could've been a bad day

@@marinaperovic8218 As most people know, you can't sing harshly all of the time. It does major damage to your vocal chords. Everyone is different. She may have damaged them and is no longer able to reach that range that she was known for, or is more careful now. Hence, why she switched her style in the last albums she's done.

Yes, chills litterly from her live. Pop stars don't have shit on these ladies

Floor, Simone, Tarja, Sharon, i love those four. Amy Lee was great too, not so much nowadays

Simone and Floor sound better live than in studio

@@Diogopam Amy has some troubles performing live, but she is a talented artist anyway. Respect.

Sharon Den Adel too

She’s a dark godess.

If it was Floor, why were you watching the roof XD

@@Pow3rus 😂😂😂

@@Pow3rus If you look at Floor, the roof is always in view.

If you’re talking about that show at the Orpheum in 2015 when they toured endless forms - that was a magical night. Perfect acoustics. Floor was phenomenal. Sounded better than the album version. Best concert I ever saw!

Lzzy Hale is so good! Loved her work with The Hu - Song of Woman, amazing song. Would have been nice to see Su-Metal from Babymetal as well. She has an amazing voice too.

This list missed quite a few singers: Lzzy Hale, Maria Brink, Taylor Momsen, Lacey Sturm, the singer from the gathering anneke van something, and one of my personal favourites - vibeke stene from Tristania

@@billysmith1797 unfortunately i've seen more metal fans who think that babymetal isn't "real metal" than those who do, and i'm not sure which side the creator of this video is on :/

Facts

@@billysmith1797 We don't get to hear Su-Metal live often though

She wasn’t even classically trained either which amazes me. She taught herself how to sing well and I think she’s done a damn good job. Phenomenal vocalist, as all the women in this video are

@@kitty.miracle If you have a monitor you can hear yourself. Last ditch effort would be to record yourself and make adjustments with that. Obviously training is better but it can still be done with a decent ear.

@@kitty.miracle “Pitchy” is a bullshit term anyways.

Sharon has a really particular voice. One in a billion

@@kitty.miracle While there are techniques that people cannot typically teach themselves, hearing pitch isn't that difficult, if you have a good ear. While there are a couple notes in the version which are different than the studio version, it still sounds controlled enough to make me believe she intentionally changed the pitches of a couple notes. Possibly to reduce vocal fatigue/strain, or simply to ensure she could hit those higher notes with less difficulty.

And they didn't even include Anneke, either =D

@@minimaltrace Nor Simone Simons...

@@realulli Simone is the first one in the video.

Omg Lzzy Hale! 100%!

Don't forget Once Human and Butcher Babies too \m/

Yes Halestorm and the pretty Reckless but also my other fave In this moment

Brittany Slayes from Unleash the Archers has one of the best voices I've ever heard of any metal band. Also Roddy Walker from Protest the Hero.

@@jsilbern8973 Wow April 14th Slipknot with In This Moment! I am picking up tickets today. Saskatoon is only 2 hours from Regina. Thanks for the tip.

@@andrewcarpenter3991 jinjer was originally coming also, but due to the Ukraine War they dropped off. Wage War is replacing them.

Saw them live in 2019 and it was the best experience of my life

True they were great live I saw em in Seattle

i got to see her live when she was on tour with Lindsey Sterling. and that was awesome show

I saw Evanescence live when I was in college and when she started singing that first song... Instant Goosebumps. I was not prepared to be in the presence of that much awesome.

Saw her during the Family Values tour in 07, and listening to Lithium while it was raining on us up on the lawn is an experience you can't replicate.

@@greyalice She first came on stage when I saw her in a special way for me personally, too. It was during a tour where a supporting band who performed prior to them (Veridia) performed a song "I'll never be ready". The singer told a backstory about the song how she wrote it for her dying father, and I lost mine too, but long time ago, but still the wave of grief came back at that time. I had tears in my eyes, and then she introduced Amy to the stage. They hugged and then she proceeded to play the piano to accompany the song.

I have been seeing Amy since 2003, even seeing her at Le Zénith while I was in college where their live album Anywhere but Home was recorded which was one of the best experiences of my life. The Synthesis tour was striking too. One of the most underrated aspects of Amy Lee is her killer stage presence. She is always gracious and courteous to bands she tours with (even if she is more popular than the headliner) and often brings opening bands' lead singers back out like Papa Roach to duet with her on songs like Bring Me to Life or sings Freak on a Leash with Korn at the end of the concert which is really neat. She is incredibly dynamic and versatile. Even if Amy is having a hard time vocally like at the end of a long stretch of a tour (she has a huge international fan base and a comparably large American one compared to others on this list and she is HUMAN after all and has hard days like ALL OF US) she always keeps her mic ON unabashedly and she keeps the fist-pumping energy high on songs like Going Under and Tourniquet or starts vulnerable on the piano and then brings in explosive guitars on songs like Call Me When You're Sober or Lithium, but also gets ALL the phones waving in the air while she seranades listeners on songs like My Immortal, Far from Heaven, or if you are lucky to see it live, songs like Hello. No one can go from headbanging to piano playing like Amy can. She can drastically adapt to circumstances and tours like when her gear got destroyed and she played a fully acoustic show in Russia, just her and the piano - I didn't see it in person but it was sublime! Her interpretational skills of songs are AMAZING too like her live cover of Korn's Thoughtless. Evanescence is such an amazing post-genre band that only Evanescence could tour with Muse, WagakkiBand, Seether, Korn, Halestorm, WT, AND Lindsey Stirling seamlessly. Evanescence has the open door (pun intended) for so many people into rock and metal that otherwise never would have listened to those genres. They certainly were for me.

I have seen Epica live they are NOT that good Simone Simons vocals are very very average live, better on album were it has been produced to the moon and back.

@@barrywallace2744 When did you see them live? Simone contracted a disease many years ago and that worsened her voice for some time. I saw them live on 2019 and they were just as good as in the studio

@@cantputashrugasausernameso5105 2018 was when I saw them, awful awful live band. Without the studio production they nothing special at all.

@uKyuu That's a very flippant, nonsensical reaction. I can judge that taste of my food without being a cook.

@@barrywallace2744 as a solid fan of Epica and Simone for over 10 years, I've seen many live performances of them and had chance to see them live twice and Simone was a absolute beast every time. You should keep in mind that touring for so long can take a huge toll on singers' voices and they may get sick too since they are human beings. Sound systems of venues also play a huge role on the matter.

Same! Although I saw them in London! I sang along to every song and was hoarse by the end of the gig. They were fantabulous. Black Anima is a fantastic album, so I'm glad I saw them on that tour.

@@sapphireseptember the Black Anima tour was when I first saw them, too. Totally agree it's a fire album!! 🔥

Clearly one of the best live shows I have ever witnessed. I was lucky to catch Lacuna Coil and Type O Negative touring together.

What's even more remarkable is that she really just found her unique voice and technique. No singing trainers involved. She just knows she can do it and loves to do it.

I`ve seen her and she´s absolutely amazing

I love „old” WT and Sharon, first albums. She was singing „darker”, more „gothic” in that period.

Actually, the live version is even better

Sharon live is out of this world

Maybe not FULL of it, but there is alot of that in metal too.

@@apanapandottir205 right, thats just how studios work these days. And people somehow don't understand that the voice goes through a whole bunch of electronics during live performances aswell. People would probably be weirded out these days if someone ever turned off the reverb on any singer, we are so used to that. Or the EQ, probably even more the EQ.

@@TheAlja But those tools are used to set the vocals in the mix properly (or any other instrument) and not to manipulate the pitch.

@@TheAlja Autotune is one thing, reverb, eq and similar stuff is totally different.

I believe Kanye West uses auto-tune... Edit: (I believe that live he actually lip-synchs to his own pre-recorded songs - I think there's actually a video of that you KZfaq, though I could be wrong...) 🙃

Yeah, my favorite among the pack too

Floor can’t be touched ! her and Amy are my favorite two always out of these group of metal /symphonic Rock whatever front women

…… Lyrically better live? Ummmm No one tell him

Yeah, I went to an evanescence/halestorm concert recently. It was incredible. Amy lees mic was too quiet though. Nothing else was wrong with the concert, we loved every minute of it.

Scrolled through video and was like "wheres Jinjer". glad to see im not the only one

I'm just a bit sad, Alyssa is only growling as Arch Enemys singer. Well, that's the style of that band though. BUT: She also has a really gorgeous singing voice! Try 'Kamelot - Liar Liar' for example. If you like switching between growling and singing, Helle from Ignea also does this mid-singing, like in 'Alga'. By the way: Shes from Ukraine, just like Tatiana, coincidence? xD

@@Corro_Dedd newest AE utilizes Alyssa doing clean vocals iirc. I still think I like Angela fronting Arch Enemy over Alyssa, and I haven't listened to much of The Agonist since Alyssa left, but she was great there.

@@Dung30n Tatiana could very well be the goat of female fronted metal bands 🤘

@@jsilbern8973 She does? Seems, I need to listen to the new songs, last one I know was "The eagle flies alone".

They're very good

And Charlotte got even better on stage compared to the video used here. You can hear even on the album versions of later songs that she is constantly learning new techniques and improving herself, she is definitely not sitting on her laurels.

@ Yes, Charlotte's voice got insanely powerful by that last album. She got better every record they put out.

Agree. The best female growler not on the list... how can you live with yourself? :D

It’s because her screams are heavily edited to sound the way they do and don’t sound the same as the recordings live. No don’t take this as I’m saying she isn’t a good vocalist and/or can’t scream well, but the list is trying to show people who sound identical to recording despite being live and she doesn’t quite hit the bare there unfortunately. I also think it’s possible they didn’t throw her on here cuz she’s from a Metalcore band or Djent Band and this seemed like an exclusively non-core metal list so nothing that could be considered new school metal made the list also, because outside of Jinjer, Spiritbox would have also been a perfect pic but they are nowhere to be found.

@@lithiumwhiskey1891 have you heard Jinjer live? Like in a club or on a stadium? hahahah

@@Dr3amDisturb3r Yes, she doesn’t actually sound like that. I can say for certain as a scream vocalist myself, she doesn’t actually sound like what you hear. Fun fact for everyone reading this, there is vocal edit settings you can put on a stage mic, it’s not something exclusive to studio recording, you can have vocal presets on mixers that stage mics are plugged into. You can even use auto tune live (Which is actually just one of a multitude of other pitch correcting software).

@@lithiumwhiskey1891 I see man, no hard feelings. You just seemed a little biased in your first comment xD

As do Ulli Perhonen of Snow White Blood and Zora Cock of Blackbriar

I'm still waiting when these two get together for a tour, that would be amazing.

Who are you planning to see? :)

there is a yearly female fronted metal festival i think in belgium. Or you could watch Ayreon musical projects. He is a talent hoarder. Where I live there was a goth festival Summer of Darkness where all talent of Europe just came to my town! but they stopped it.

thank God I found a copy that I could reupload here for preservation. The copyright strike forced me to cut Nightwish with Annette Holzen, but whatever.

Don't know about that last part. I've worked several concert venues and heard various performers from various genres. A majority sounded really good that I went back and listened to their albums. Many often outshined the studio version.

@@Rzo139 surely highly depends on the genre. Didnt mean to say "every other genre than metal" and certainly you will have "good" and "bad" apples in all genres. Metal just seems to have much less of a problem here than many other genres.

Better to see them do mistakes than watch some fake autotuned shows. That shows that they're real artists and real people

Yeah you can't compare a studio recording to a live performance In studio they can have as many takes as they like on 1 song alone and then still can add some more editing, in live performance they have to sing like 10 songs in succession which is insane and tough

Your comment is honestly so heartfelt and beautiful. I love how you uplift all of these talented women. We need more people like you in comment sections

As far as I know Doro is still touring, still relevant.

@@Deathbird_Mitch Oh wow, you're right. She has a tour going right now though mostly in Germany

@@arturiuspendragon6849 I do agree with your original sentiment, in spirit, though. WARLOCK 🤘

Saw Amy Lee live and could never go back to listening to the albums. It's not even remotely comparable. These people's talents exceed what is capable of fitting into a CD mix.

Som is a fucking beast.

Yo...u seen some kickass bands there. Oathbreaker is awesome! Im hoping to catch them live one day... Hopefully with venom prison!

Ughhhh I'd LOVE to see Spiritbox and Som

Angela live made me worry that instead of a mosh pit it was going to be a portal to the depths of hell. Goddamn demon!

Right? Angela live is Lucifer incarnate herself 😈

Just missed Angela in this

It's too bad both Angela and Alissa are terrible people i.e the photographer incident
