Rainbow "Stargazer" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer

Elizabeth. I am truly enjoying your reaction to Ron. Also everyone commenting, he truly loved you all very much . I was lucky enough to have toured with him for the last 15 years of his life and and now a board member of the Ronnie James Dio Stand up and shout cancer charity. Please always keep his music alive. Share with your children. Know that over and above all of your amazing comments he was the most amazing human being I've ever met in my life. On the road Ron taught us that nobody was more important to the show than anyone else.the only difference between him and everyone else was he was the only one that could do his job.take some time and search dio by decade. I love you Ron you are hugely missed. Big Scott

"Every opera singer could learn from listening to Dio. A God of voice." Such an epic comment. Thank you.

In my opinion, this is the greatest rock vocal performance of all time.

Let's just take a moment to appreciate the collosal drumming of Cozy Powell. Brutal precision. Seamless quadruple bass and toms on the intro. Very difficult to play.

Now you all know why we cried when he passed away. RIP Dio

For me, Stargazer is easily top 5 best songs ever

Dio’s vocals, Ritchie’s guitar, and Cozy Powell, one of the greatest drummers ever. Could I ever ask for more?

I have been listening to this song for well over thirty years, and I still get goosebumps every time I hear the line, "I see a rainbow rising."

"I see a rainbow rising, up there on the horizon" - for the last 35 years literally every time I have listened to it, I get goosebumps at exactly this point, like clockwork. One of the greatest songs ever.

"my eyes are bleeding" oh my god that gives me goosebumps every single time

RJD was Edgar Allen Poe, Pavarotti, Da Vinci, and Robin Hood rolled into 1 guy. He gave back to the fans so much in many ways. His canvas was the stage. Greatest songwriter and storyteller that ever picked up a Mic and sang. Generational. By all accounts, he was an even better human being off stage.Very generous man.

Dio was the best singer of Metal. His tone and vibrato was unique. Dio is a God of Metal and now he is singing in HEAVEN... AND HELL 😁

this is a very important song in metal history, bands were created just from this song.

Seeing Elizabeth falling in love with Dio is fascinating and wholesome

I never heard Stargazer before tonight. What a thrill beyond words. I cranked it up.Then I found Elizabeth's analysis and I knew I had to listen and watch her face while she absorbed this song. What an experience. I'll never forget this. I'll be back plenty of times to go on this journey with Rainbow again. Loved it.

Now it's over a year since this reaction, the follow up to this song, A light in the black , deserves some of your attention ✨️

This song is like The Lord of the Rings in Rock version, its a god damn masterpiece

I had the honor... (that word doesn’t even say enough) of spending a few moments with Ronnie.. still have his number in my phone (can’t delete it). Dio was an actor, he became the song.. he put himself in role of his characters in his songs. He was a great great man. A perfectionist and some would say difficult to work with at times, but his results were second to none. The world is a lesser place without him... but he left us so many gifts. From his Ronnie and the redcaps “An Angel is Missing” where he is singing 50s style music, all the way to the power of Strange Highways with the song Jesus Mary and the Holy Ghost. Ronnie was one of a kind and i for one am absolutely fortunate enough to say he filled my childhood with joy and later... proved to me what an artist is... and to this day i can’t help but get choked up hearing the man... on the silver mountain.. he will always be.. the man.

One of rocks greatest tracks!! Cozy Powell on drums, Blackmore on guitar and Ronnie, wow that voice!!

Stargazer is one of the few songs that I still remember the first time I heard it. It catches you instantly. I specifically enjoyed Elizabeth's face expresions as she heard it through. It shows the feeilings and deep emotion that this song generates and, to me, this is what art is all about.
