Andre Matos ' vocals in "Fairy Tale ," a hit by Shaman , have become the latest subject of study on the YouTube channel The Charismatic Voice , where opera singer and vocal coach Elizabeth Zharoff reacts to different artists in videos, providing technical analysis and sharing personal impressions.
The choice of Shaman's song was made after many requests from fans of the band and finally reached the channel, which currently has one million subscribers. In the video, Elizabeth listens to the song for the first time and expresses great surprise at the quality of all the elements of the track when watching RituAlive . "I was very intrigued by this band when I read about them," she said.
Being a pianist as well, the opera singer demonstrated her admiration for Andre Matos' skill by beginning the song with a conversation with the audience using only the piano, later commenting on the folk feel of the track and how well the storytelling of "Fairy Tale" works, saying at the end that the lyrics seem to apply to how the Maestro faced saying goodbye to the world. "Knowing that the singer is not with us, what a beautiful final phrase for this song, because (...) with this absolute love and joy that he seems to feel and spread in the singing, you think 'Wow, that's probably how he wanted to be remembered, he never died, he's shining in the sky'," she said.
The video only has English subtitles, but they can be automatically translated through YouTube's settings.
