Their facebook post from a day or two ago has me thinking 99.9% Fabio. Which is fine by me, I was really leery about him replacing Khan. And, I do prefer Roy. But after watching some live videos with him, I have no doubt that I'll be seeing both sets. Also it gives me a chance to see him because the way things have been going, I'm never going to get to see Rhapsody live.

Update: Just looked again, there's nothing saying he's on. But they did post on Monday about new merch, listing Fabio as their guest vocalist. Not for any shows, just in general. So maybe he's semi-official, until the auditions are over next month.

I saw Fabio sing with Kamelot on the last NA tour. I thought he did great and I'd be happy if it was him. Would also be cool if Simone joined them as well!

Which one?

Well the Rhapsody with Fabio stated they are currently booking shows. If he is singing with Kamelot, who knows, Rhapsody get be on the boat too... wouldn't hold your breath though.

The thought had occurred to me. But holding my breath is not something I plan to do. If they get announced, it would make things insanely good for me. But I'm happy enough with the current lineup that I'm unsure if I can actually get any more excited for January than I already am.

Also: Wait, what? There's another Rhapsody? Oh wait, I recall hearing that. Rhapsody of Fire is what I meant. I've actually never heard anything about the other one. Not even sure what genre they are.

Um, the story is that the Rhapsody Of Fire has now split into 2 bands (going their separate ways) one is Fabio Lione's Rhapsody Of Fire and the other is Luca Turrilli's Rhapsody. So Luca Turrilli is no longer with Rhapsody Of Fire which is unfortunate. It's pretty stupid for them to keep such similar names though.

Honestly, from the stuff I've seen, I don't really feel his vocal style suits it as well as Khan. Just my opinion.

Khan was fabulous, but will not return to Kamelot, so why keep comparing...Same as Nightwish with Tarja.

Fabia is a great temporary replacement live. He sings different then he does with Rhapsody of Fire, which I am not that much a fan of. Seen him live with kamelot and it was quite a show!

Khan was kinda unique - but from the few clips I've seen with Fabio, I'm pretty sure the two shows onbroad will be entertaining---

I don't doubt it won't be a good show. I just don't feel his voice does the same justice for a lot of their songs.

by **mooyagi** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 3:41 pm

Khan will be very difficult to replace. If Kamelot moves forward with a different styled vocalist, that's fine. My concern is that they at least find somebody who can do the old material justice. It doesn't have to sound exactly like Khan, but it's a fine line between putting your own style on it and ruining the song. This is my problem with Annette in Nightwish. As for Fabio, having heard his work on Rhapsody and Vision Divine albums (VD needs Michele Luppi back) I am not a fan. I will give him a chance with Kamelot as I've been told he does pretty well, but I have. A pessimistic outlook on it. Hopefully I can be proved wrong.

Exactly. Like if Fabio was the new singer, I honestly would love to hear what kind of new material they work out together and it probably would work really well.

Don't even worry about it and not embarassed at all, the thought of all of that happening just brought a very large smile to my face

WHoever sings for kamelot, I hope they do it solo.....

SOLO I can't hear them!

The problem is that Khan is a low tenor singer and Fabio -- while he apparently has a ridiculous range (like a four-octave vocal range or something) is naturally a higher singer than Khan (closer to a high baritone than a low tenor IMO), so it doesn't sound as crisp. Like I said, great singer -- unimpressive vocalist. I don't get the emotion that I got from Khan. Just watch 'One Cold Winter's Night' in its entirety. It'll give you chills.

So who are suitable low tenors that would be dream scenarios? Well. . .Russell Allen from Symphony X comes to mind

And, of course, Michael Eriksen from Circus Maximus.

What? No way! I've been out of the loop while watching the actions of other bands. I must go research, and weep. I can't imagine either being as good after the split.

As for the replacement, I'm guessing it will be someone from either a very small band or a new face. Roy left a big hole to fill, and rather than shoehorning someone with a name in there, they will likely - or at least should - find someone with the requisite tone, range, and most importantly, passion. It is true that Fabio, no matter what he does, will be able to match the emotion inherent in the performances.

by **Ecliptica** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:15 pm

Oh, and for reference, the kid from South Korea I was talking about earlier sounds exactly like Roy (if not a bit better towards the end of the song!) and has a ton of emotion:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7OlMKJrgvI

Of course, he's an amateur and probably has never played in front of a crowd. And is in South Korea. But, still, I'd LOVE to see this kid get a chance to sing with the band.

by **Ravenlord** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 5:56 am

Impressive.

Found this one to be good to show his voice alone : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNp9MzEdhQ0&feature=related

by **mooyagi** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 9:27 am

Wow. Really impressed with the Korean kid.

by **Eternity** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 9:32 am

Holy hell, I'm loving this Korean kid. Here's hoping he sent in an audition tape. If not, someone needs to show Kamelot his youtube channel because DAMN.

by **Fatum11** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 3:54 pm

All I can hear is Khan in the Korean kids videos... is he singing over the top of him or does he really just sound like Khan?

by **raspberry*tart** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:02 pm

WTF that Korean Kid is awesome

I thought that too... but - and this might be a placebo kind of thing - I think I can determine the faintest hint of an accent in his voice.

If it is Khan singing, this guy has the best lip sync powers in the world.

Listen to his recording of Forever. He's got a really thick accent on that one. From the comments, looks like he's been living in the US for a couple of years and is improving his English.
