I dont know if there are any on youtube but there are a few video I took of the show but havent had the chance to post them up yet.rikkertje wrote:But I haven't seen ANY video from the Polaris Tour where he sounds good... Are there any video's on YouTube fron the LA show?
Nice to hear that. I think he is improving too.pneumonia wrote:I was 3 times at this tour, and he sings better and better. Last gig (2 weeks ago) some songs we sang almost perfect (Paradise, Forever is Today, SOS) and in some he had some problems(Deep Unknown), but comparing ie Will the sun Rise from year ago and now i say that he made a progress.
I also think that YT films from gig make vocals (not only TK) uglier than live. The same with Kai, Deris, etc.
As much as I would like to believe that he sings Forever is Today perfect. I know it's just not possible. The chorus is just too high for him. I don't know how he did it on the album but I guess he will never be able to perform it like that...pneumonia wrote:I was 3 times at this tour, and he sings better and better.

he perfectly singed Find Your Own Voice (that's higher) so why couldn't he sing Forever Is Today?rikkertje wrote: As much as I would like to believe that he sings Forever is Today perfect.

I really don't understand why some people are always complaining about his voice!?![]()

We don't complain. We love Kotipelto's voice and we want his voice the best possible.
Exactly, besides it is impossible for a singer to sound exactly like they did 10-15 years ago, it just comes with ageBeast_Pete wrote:When I saw them live he didn't have any problems with his voice. He is still fucking great! It's just that audio records from live shows are never the same quality as actually listening to them live.
Hansi Kursch can do itStar_Ocean wrote:I rarely ever hear a power metal singer perfect live.
In fact, the only one I can think of that is close to perfection live is Fabio Lione, who is around Kotipelto's ago (a couple years younger I believe) and is still amazing.
But Kotipelto has never been perfect. I recall an Anthem of the World performance from the 90s that was beyond atrocious.

I wouldn't say so.if Koti doesn't feel confortable singing at high pitches anymore

Timo is a human just like the rest of us,with good and perfect moments.
Timo looks good,sings good,is in a great shape and No he isn't perfect like the most people on this planet.
You don't need to go all defensive like that. We all love Stratovarius and we all consider Kotipelto one of the most beautiful power metal voices ever. That doesn't change the fact that a considerable chunk of the community is concerned about his voice.stratowerner wrote:What a useless topic,If you want a perfect performance stay home on your chair and play your fav strato songs on the stereo player.
