Her name is Floor Jansen "The flying Dutchwoman" she is tall at 6'1 tallest in the band. She sings operatic, rock, classic, in Spanish, growls, everything, she is the most versatile singer in the world today, and one of the most humble and gracious. She joined Nightwish in 2012 in the middle of their USA tour when they fired their singer Anette Olson in Salt Lake City, and called Floor, who was at her sister's wedding, and they asked her "Learn out setlist in 48 hours" and she mmet them 48 hours later in Seattle for her first show. This show is 10 months later and she still had not been asked to become a permanent member yet, that change after this performance she was asked and her answer was a resounding "YES
Floor is a Valkyrie. I am surprised a bolt of light didn't erupt from her on that high note and split the heavens.
Goosebumps inspired by Floor are called Floorgasms, and they’re how new Nightwish fans are born.
I assume tears, too. Cuz I'm bone dry after the past two days.
that's right my friend.. im a more extreme metal fan.... but damn! Im a nightwish fan by now
And I'm reborn everytime I listen to her ❤
Every time, too
I ger goosebumps every time I listen to 5his or any other nightwish song. Floor is our valkarye goddess
They're a Finnish band with a Dutch lead singer singing in English to a German audience.
That
Sounds
Like
Metal
from Portugal, welcome to Europe
Wachen Open Air attracts a worldwide audience not just Germans.
Proof that symphonic metal is universal.
And Soilwork (from Sweden) has a drummer from Belgium, Dirk Verbeuren. My two favorite Scandinavian bands have Dutch speaking members. Amazing.
I'm addicted to watching Floor reactions. Lol you did not disappoint. Thank you. She is amazing! 💜
Every single time I hear this performance I get chills
...and teary eyes, right?
No matter how many times I hear this performance I cannot believe a human being can sound like that...
Bc its a complete Master peace, all parts of it - and you can feel and see the joy and friendship among the Band members.
Floor is a smidge over 6 feet tall and very fit so she is a Amazonian woman.
Close but no. She's Dutch, not greek, She's a Valkyrie!
@@LordPai Floor is Dutch :)
@@thiccgeek1453 Oh shit. Right, Sorry man, Nice catch.
@ Banderezz Tony LaPore: A "smidge"? How do you define "smidge"? What's that meant to be?
@@thiccgeek1453 Hey, I like your channel too! Keep up the good work.
Here is some information to help you navigate their music. It is my standard speech...... :-)
I subbed.............
Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female
fronted symphonic metal band. They are from
Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes
the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And
there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK
who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In
2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now
still is.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen
(Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon
from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and
current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic,
soprano.....most versatile) - you just saw her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on
what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival
live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley,
Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the
Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey.
Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know
what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish
fans are hard core. So be prepared. Lol
Ann Waychoff lovely to see you’re already here, as always. =}
You got to this video an hour after it went up! You're awesome. I should stop complimenting you like this though, I'll start sounding like a stalker. LOL.
@@hazelangus lol, I'd rather say we are just slower in stalking nightwish reactions.
How do you even do this?..lol You must have a computer bot that auto posts this on every nightwish reaction automatically..lol
Hi Ann! Thank you for watching my reaction and for the background on Nightwish! Your name has been dropped so many times, I feel like i've been contacted by a legend!
CONGRATULATIONS! Officially half the population of the earth has now reacted to this video. Great milestone!
"So, first of all, why have I never heard of Nightwish? This is a travesty!"
You're damned right
Nightwish army, checking in. I saw "Nightwish" and "reaction" so I clicked.
Welcome to Nightwish fanhood.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish
She hit that high note at the end, and his soul left him. Lol
Floorgasm
Sam, you just got goosebumps .... we call it you had a FLOORGASM. Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!!!
The Nightwish Army is here. This singer is Floor Jansen. When Ann Waychoff gets to your comments, she'll give you all the info you need.
Floor Jansen is not only a singer, she's also a vocal coach. ;) And she still brings tears in my eyes when she totally goes for it. Yes, I get teary Floorgasms. lol
+ "oh it's a long video, 10 minutes"
- me laughs in the greatest show on earth
Floor Jansen is or was a vocal coach as well so this is a case of talent combined with knowledge. And hard work as well, of course. She's great.
Jepp, AND she was founding member of "After Forever" when she was still a Teen, and when her co-founder left the band to form "Epica" she was singer, band leader and sole manager of the band, while she also went to music school, specifically the freshly founded "Rock Academy".
@@olgahein4384 Not quite right, she joined After Forever originally as a "background singer" (her own words) and slowly got more engaged and ended up as lead singer. At least that's what she told recently on Beste Zangers.
Every singer has the knowledge. They don't just sing correct by accident or only when a vocal coach tells them to 🙄 so every singer is pretty much as qualified as a person who's singer and vocal coach
AND she is tall. She has quite a lot of volume of air and power.
"Why havent I heard of nightwish", the question asked by many reactors 😂😂
Long live the queen.
That's what everyone says. "How have I not heard of these people?" Welcome to the family man. Your journey has just begun.
The singers name is Floor Jansen, she is from the Netherlands. The Band is from Finnland and the location is Wacken in northern Germany :-)
One thing that surprises me the most is how many people have never, ever, listened or heard anything from Nightwish.
I know that where I live, in North East Tennessee, Nightwish isn't even played on local radio. I heard of them from a friend my sophomore year in high school and I guess she found them on UA-cam. I don't know many others who have heard of them or Kamelot, Sirenia or anything that isn't played on local radio. I try to introduce as many people as possible because I don't believe they know what they are missing.
i used to be a metalhead and loved tarja but it was with anette it went from awesome to pop. me being a metalhead, I DON'T LIKE POP, back in the day, shunned them for it. now i hear they have floor as lead singer. I didn't know that and i'm freaking dutch. our country has a high musical impact on the world but nightwish is so small here compare to all the other genres.
Depending on who you ask, Floor is either 6' or 6' 1". I am 6' and have met the band at a couple of meet and greets and she had about 4" on me. She was wearing boots but I would say 6' 1" is probably where she's at. She is the total package. Great talent, VERY attractive and she seems like a really nice person. The whole band is awfully nice too not to mention extremely talented. You can't help but root for them. Long live Nightwish.
I think she is 186 cm. We Dutchies are tall ☺
@@kirstenbakker839 Tends to be a common thing with people of germanic descent. I am of austrian german descent and about 205 cm don't of all my relatives on my father's side I don't think a one of them women included are under 185. I have an uncle who is 215 cm and has issues with doors being a tad to short for him.
@@alek2913 193 here, German/Black Dutch roots.
FUN FACT: Floor is 6' (1.83m) tall. Her husband, Hannes, is 6'7" (2.01m) tall. Their children may rule us all!
Additional fun fact: her husband is the drummer for the metal band Sabaton! Their young daughter, Freja (sp?), is definitely going to rule us all!
And Empu is like 5’1”!!!
Wow. I didn't know. Nice factoid
I will happily kneel to my Valkryie overlords.
I'm 185cm tall, I love seeing other tall Valkyries
Sam: Can't have it all. Haha...
Floore: Is that a challenge?
Your reaction was perfect. No one has described her posture as perfect as you before. Thank you.
Welcome to the party! I think youre the first Scottish reactor ive seen checking out Nightwish :) - Im Glaswegian so im very happy to see more Scots checking this band out :) If youre interested in more stuff from these guys then Storytime should probably be your next stop :)
Yasss I rarely hear from fellow Glaswegians on here! (well, i'm originally from Pitlochry, but Glasgow is 'home')
@@SSTVocalCoach Aww amazing! Pitlochry is a lovely part of the world :) Heehee well you've officially found another Glaswegian here :) *waving!* I do hope you enjoy the Nightwish ride Sam, the nightwish army are a friendly bunch in general :)
@@raspberryripple88 It's Picturesque for sure! Much prefer Glasgow though, there's just much more to do! Thanks for such a nice welcome to Nightwish- i'm in the discord group too! No idea what's going on half the time but it's lots of fun!
@@SSTVocalCoach Lol fair enough I can understand that :) Ah the good old nightwish discord group! I havent got round to joining the discord group so far, but i do dip in from time to time just to see whats happening :) There is a new Nightwish album coming next spring (fingers crossed for a Glasgow gig next year!) so i can only imagine the group is going to get even more mental over the coming months! :p
Welcome to the underworld! May your journey be wild. Our valkyrian Queen collected one more soul \m/
13:04
When the vocal coach turns away from the high note in ecstatic shock, you know you've done your job.
Poet and the Pendulum, Sam...but it has a pretty hardcore backstory, so you might just want to check that out first so it has more meaning. Also, please use captions on it so you can understand what's going on. :) Thanks so much for your reactions!!!!
Thank you, I'll be sure to take a listen soon as I get a chance! :)
To quik to point him direct to Poet and the Pendulum,evry thing from Wacken 2013 Live In Tampere, Finland) 2015,
Live at Wembley Arena.is great to do if you do more Nightwish
Not so fast with the Poet, people.
Best to build up a bit to that one, I think.
@@MountainMetal yeah at least know how is tarja and Listen to phantom of the opera first then Poet and the Pendulum
Sam Scott-Thorne: Session Singer & Vocal Coach that song is about the writer killing himself in a song so he wouldn't do it in real life.
Thank You! Really nice pick Sir! Always a time for some Nightwish ❤. Keep em' coming!
Floor is a Goddess 🖤🖤🖤🖤
I would recommend “Storytime “ from the same show. I think you would love it.
Yes.
He could do the whole concert ^^
@@samueljoost320 That sounds like a good idea, even more a amazing performance because Floor wasn't even a official member at the time and only joined them 11 months before this.. a few concerts aside, they haven't been much on this level after this, but always brilliant nevertheless.
Best facial reactions - 10:18 when she puts the edge in her voice, 12:56 and 13:02 when she hits those notes!
As someone who has been in an orchestral band when I was in HS, when you hear musical notes, you can anticipate where the next ones are going based on context. You can see it in his face at 13:02 he's thinking, "Oh wow, I know what note is coming nex- SHE HIT IT! Wow!!!!". I had the same reaction when I saw this song - SO great to see it in other people's faces too. :D
Floor is one the most versatile singer today,his vocal range is amazing ❤️🤘
FYI: "his" is masculine, "hers" is feminine. Just trying to help, no offense intended. :)
@@amax1229 I'm guessing Heavy77x speaks Spanish as their native tongue. He/she is strange for people who have Spanish as a native language.
I used to work with a lot of Spanish speaking people, it was pretty common for some of them to switch he/she when we would talk about things.
I just got used to it.
@@douglascampbell9809 finnish doesn't have gender eh...pronouns? He or she is just hän
His? If she was a boy he would be named Floris!
@@Loveyou-bb9bg skip the rudeness, for us who don't have gender pronouns, slip up like that happens easily
Mate that big smile of yours at the end of the song is exactly the reason why we all love this band. No more words needed :)
A friend introduced me to Nightwish in 2001 and I fell in love with them. The contrasting sound of the band and Tarja simply amazed me. Once she was no longer in the band I stopped listening to Nightwish. About 2 weeks ago I found this song while introducing my son, a musician, to different typesof music. I am once again in love with Nightwish and have been catching up on what all I have missed. Floor is amazing and a perfect fit .O recommend listening to this whole concert. You won't be disappointed.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army
Have you been addicted?
Of course you have 😁😁😁😁
More Nightwish more Floor and more being addicted
Greeting from Indonesia
The music is called symphonic metal and i very populair in Europe and South America. The band is from Finland and founded 1996. So far the band has had 3 vocalists
1 Tarja Turunen (Finish) pure opera voice also very good live. (until 2005)
2 Anette Olzon (Schwedish) more pop style. fine in the studio but not good live. (until 2012)
3 Floor Jansen* (Dutch) (current). * She is the vocalist you saw in this clip. She has a classical vocal background education and can sing any style she likes from jazz to opera high to growling low. Believe me when i tell you you have not even scratched the surface yet of what she's capable of.
Band members
Tuomas Holopainen (The keyboard player and creative mind behind the band. He writes about 95% of the music and lyrics)
Marco Hietela (the viking with the long beard (Bass and vocals)
Jukka "Julius" Nevalainen (The drummer)
Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen (the hobbit like guitar player)
Troy Donockley ( a person who did not play on this song but is a multi instrumentalist from the UK)
The clip was shot a few months after Floor jointed the band right in the middle of their US leg of the world tour. They asked her to join after tensions between the previous (Anette) vocalist and the rest of the band had rissen so high that they fired her. With close to a year still to go to complete the tour, and their next concert planned 2 day later they, needed a replacement fast. They called Floor because she had toured with them when she was part of the support bands"After Forever" and later "Revamp" on several occasions and they were quiet impressed by her vocals (who would not be?). She only had 2 days, including a flight from the Netherlands to the US, to learn the setlist and only had one rehearsal with the band a couple of hours before her first show and nailed it. Since they were making a documentary about the worldtour a lot of what happened was recorded. The documentary is called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" (ua-cam.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/v-deo.html )
As a next song to take a look at i would recommend their masterpiece "The poet and the pendulum" live at Wembley. Before you take a look at it i would recommend to take a look at the backstory of this song. This will make you appreciate it much more. here is the link ua-cam.com/video/gbn9GczYBkw/v-deo.html
BTW that last note she just sang? Nightwish fans created a whole new word for when she does something impressive like that. We call it a Floorgasm. Welcome to the club and boy are you going to receive a lot of traffic on your channel. ;-)
thank you for your honest reaction, from a dutch Nightwish fan, and yes she is dutch, and we are so proud that she is from the Netherlands!
This entire concert is AMAZING.... as well as anything else they have done with Floor in front. Floor gets much more animated than during this song, her stage presence and theatrics are second to none. and this is merely a sample of her vocal range and talents
I love her windmilling. XD
Floor Jansen! Don't foget it. She is amazing! 6' 1" without heels. We call her the Valkyrie Queen. You know Nightwish is Finnish and Floor is Dutch! I have been to Scotland many times and it is one of my favorite country's in the whole world. Scottish history is one of my passions. I would suggest either "Ever Dream" or "Story Tome" both from the same show. More rock oriented and shorter but still masterpieces of vocalizations.
WELCOME to our world, the Nightwish world. :o) Floor Jansen is their singer, and you, dear boy, have just had a 'Floorgasm'. :o)
Try Poet & the Pendulum live at Wembley 2016 next. 🙏🏻❤️
she is about 185cm and when i met her it was kinda intimidatng :D but she is the best singer in the world i love her
Should have him do Ghost River so he can get a feel for their Male singer / the base player.
Anything by Tarot would highlight his vocal prowess.
I love Marco's band Tarot 😍.
Or Ever Dream, it's one of my faves.
Bass player lol
@@saracarumbakaddoura9537 Tarot are amazing!! ...Tides is one of my all time favourite songs😊
Goosebumps ?? Thats a FLOORGASM !!
Her voice is perfection.
Get ready for more than a few thousand views and a couple thousand new subs, keep the Nightwish coming
Luckily no one in my life has never said “why haven’t heard of Nightwish?”
You sir have experienced greatness, and now must pass it on
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish! I look forward to watching your journey into this amazing band : )
Well the 6' 1" (1.8542 meters) Dutch dynamo, Floor Jansen (J is sounded as a Y) a/k/a to her fans as the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal slays another unsuspecting soul. Floor is just the definition of power, range and stage presence. She sings what ever she wants and changes her style on the fly without warning as you can see and hear. If drives like she sings she is a menace on the road (LOL)!! The band and her were performing LIVE, which is the only way to appreciate this band, before 80,000 metal-heads in Wacken, Germany just after Floor was made a member of the band. Some coming out party and this concert all 15 songs (this one was done 70+ minutes into the song set) are truly awesome. Try their Folk Metal sound with Celtic bagpipes mixed in, I Want My Tears back (ua-cam.com/video/ga-hR7CYbwQ/v-deo.html). The band is incredible and always plays tight LIVE and Floor well Floor is Floor, from Operatic, to Metal, to Pop to Growling and everything in between!! Nice reaction and once you start down this rabbit hole it will swallow you whole!!!!
I often wonder if that crowd realized at the time they were witnessing history being made.
The song kills me every single time, the end simply turns me into a emotional wreck. Floor has a long history in Dutch melodic metal. Am a fan from the beginning and when I heard she would become a part of Nightwish, it was like a dream come true
Same!! After the little "break" I can't help but drown in tears every time!!
SAME!! The end when the choir switches from "If you be the one to cut me I'll bleed forever" to "you were the one to cut me, so I'll bleed forever" I lose it EVERY TIME
@@My.Darkling exactly there. It did it again, works every time.
@@vincentvalentin8177 same! I feel so overjoyed that this band I have loved since I was a young teenager (and used to get made fun of for liking, it was dorky, it wasn't "real" metal, wtf is this youre listening to, etc etc) is finally getting exposure to actual professionals and metalheads! Metal culture is getting less and less elitist (yay) and I feel so vindicated for this being my favorite Nightwish song (and favorite band!) for 17 damn years!
I love people's first reaction to her singing because its different reactions but it all comes back to that she is really fantastic singer
Do I hear a little Scottish accent? 🤩
I love it!
You do indeed! :)
Love nightwish! If you really want to hear the best vocal range for Floor try to give Poet and the Pendulum at Wembly a listen. You need to know a bit before you go into that one though. Poet and the pendulum was written by (as were all of the songs actually) by Toumas, the keyboardist when they parted with their first lead singer Tarja (Floor is the third and current singer). There was a lot of backlash towards him on the decision to the point where he contemplated suicide, so he decided to write a song where he killed himself instead. The song talks about his inner struggles on the whole ordeal, and the last bit of the song is what his mother told him, that i feel made him continue on to this day. Great reaction and I hope to see more nightwish reactions from you! The nightwish army is coming, be prepared lol
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're in for a ride. Enjoy!!!
To whomever started this "React to Floor's voice in Ghost Love Score": THANK YOU! These videos are truly the appreciation of her magnicificent voice and presence during live shows. I thought that Tarja couldn't be replaced in the band, but here we are :) I'm so glad she joined Nightwish.
Enjoyed your reaction. Waiting for the next!
You may well find this interesting. She is currently on a Dutch TV show called Beste Sangers (Best Singers) where they gather a group of singers .. all Dutch .. and they then take turns and everyone sings a song that is either by or important to one of the singers each week. She has so far sang in German, Dutch and Spanish
ua-cam.com/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/v-deo.html .. sings a kinda Operatic Rock for the Older gentleman (he sings opera) .. is song his mother sang to him as a child (in German)
ua-cam.com/video/sj1ibZrjQTs/v-deo.html .. sings in Dutch to the woman in Red (her song) .. on another page someone commented that she has a Southern Dutch accent
ua-cam.com/video/DfYeLUoqw0E/v-deo.html .. sings in Spanish to the guy in White and gray .. his song
Oh God yes, I've been watching *fanatically* and she's just freaking killin' it!!!!!!!!!
🤘👏👍
@@jeffk1482 Yeah .. comments said she has been relatively unknown in the Netherlands .. this should fix that! :)
@@eTraxx 🤘
It is such heaven for Floor fans! Next week everyone sings to HER! I can't wait :D
@@Green-Lyon It's already going to happen next Saturday!
That is Floor Jansen the Queen of metal. Floor is 6'1" in bare feet than add the heels? Thanx for the review. Get ready for the Nightwish army. they will be here soon. Ann AKA the Nightwish MOMMA will be here soon she has al the info on Nightwish.
Why does hearing about Ann both excite and terrify me at the same time!?
@@SSTVocalCoach Haha! You don't have to worry at all. She's just the nicest and greatest Nightwish fan in the USA. She knows a lot about Nightwish, we all love and respect her so much, so just wait for Ann Waychoff...
@@SSTVocalCoach Ann is our beloved Nightwish momma bird. She takes all the new Nightwish hatchlings under her wings as they chirp away at the amazingly blue musical sky they've just noticed. A great lady and an ever-present supporter of UA-camrs who love great music!
Ann is just all around awesome!
This song needed multiple stages to realy grow up into this sort of perfection. This was by the way her first time singing this Song in Wacken Open Air (North Germany) in 2013. The Symphonic Parts are done by the London Symphonic Orchestra.
She's got some SEROUS talent - it gets a tear to my eye each time I hear her sing like that (the part towards the end). I can't stop saying that I'm just blown away. I've never seen anyone sing the way she does.
Yes, she is indeed very tall. She’s the tallest person on that stage by a fair margin. XD. Floor Jansen is arguable the best singer in the business right now, a true power house and incredibly versatile. This is a great song, but it only covers about 15% of what she’s capable of. Anything live from her is worth a listen, but the typical follow ups to this song are either Romanticide, Song of Myself, Ever Dream, or Storytime. Stick with the Live from Wacken 2013 for now, but the recordings from Wembley 2015 and Tampere 2016 are also phenomenal.
Actually, she wasn't the tallest person on that stage. Marco is 180 cm, Floor 183 cm and Tuomas 188 cm. But, maybe with her heels. Depending if Tuomas had thick bottom shoes... :D
Ever Dream kills me, Floor and Marco together just destroys everything!
No, the tallest by far is Enppu. He is a giant 🤣
@@lgmhorus Amongst Pygmies :P
I'd throw in Who I Am (with her old band Afterforever ft. Irene Jansen, her younger sibling). Another would be My Pledge of Allegiance #1, live with her old band (Afterforever).
Please react to Nightwish - Everdream at wacken open air 2013.
Agreed. It's phenomenal!
also agreed, amazing
Yes!
lets be honest.. react to ALL nightwish songs.
Ans welcome on a Nightwish journey)
Floor is a goddess!
The part of this that I've always found impressive is that this song is well over an hour into a show that was NONSTOP!
Some good songs that many have reacted to from Nightwish, are "Poet and the Pendulum", "The greatest show on earth" and her duet with another soprano from the band Epica, the song "Sancta Terra".
I'm so happy you reacted to Nightwish. I love your channel! They are fantastic!
I’m always amazed at how effortless she sings regardless of the force she is using. It always looks effortless
Her name is Floor! She rocks. I love this band!
Everyone who hears the Floor for the first time says: "She's got such an angelic voice". She does indeed. She's the reason why I started to listen to Nightwish again after 2005. And yes, she is 6'1ft tall, so quite tall for a lady.
The Dutch are the largest people in the world then she adds another 4-5 inches then average.
So angelic... except for when she grunts (check out some ReVamp performances)... 😉
The moment she started singing he was taken away. That's the power of the Floorgasm ladies and gents
Just so you know, this band's been through tons of drama. They had 2 singers before Floor. The first was Tuomas's school friend, Tarja. He wrote The Poet and the Pendulum after having to fire her. They have a wonderful cover of Phantom of the opera with her, and if you dl the studio of this, she'll be on that too. The second was Anette, who's a good vocalist, but at that time, at least, really struggled live because of all the drama. There's a live version of Slow, Love, Slow where she did alright. If you listen to that or the official vid to Bye,Bye, Beautiful after Tarja's stuff, you'll see why fans were livid. I feel hearing the other singers helps you see Tuomas's mindset and really drives home the emotion. Don't forget to do some songs with Troy and Marco :) Glad you enjoyed
Thumbs up Sam for genuine reaction and authentic analyzing. Here's few more highly recommended live Nightwish, most in ultra high quality 4k resolution (best version available) and all with straight links and with track description:
1) Nightwish - The Last Ride of The Day (Live at Tampere 2015 in 4k): ua-cam.com/video/IWbWr8P0hxM/v-deo.html
(Description: Absolute anthem-like headbanger showcasing more rocking side of Nightwish plus the immensily powerfull harmony vocals by lead vocalist Floor & bassist Marco)
2) Nightwish - The Poet And The Pendulum (Live at Wembley 2016, HD with lyrics): ua-cam.com/video/iEzZRMthhXU/v-deo.html
(Description: Opposite contrast to "Ghost Love Score", this dark toned track has both aggressive or melancholic transitions and Floor's even more sweeping vocal range. This one is keyboardist/songwriter Tuomas's most personal song, dealing with original lead singer Tarja Turunen departure from the band in 2005 and his (very) dark feelings and impact it had on him. NOTE: Floor's arresting delivery is the key component why this performance resonates with so many seasoned Nightwish listeners.
3) Nightwish - 7 Days to the Wolves (Live at Wembley 2016 in 4k): ua-cam.com/video/LOSsvdvixwk/v-deo.html
(Description: Showcase of a heavy groovy mid-tempo side of Nightwish with dynamic transitions and smooth harmony vocals by Marco & Floor.)
4) Nightwish - She is my Sin: (Live at Tampere 2015 in 4k): ua-cam.com/video/kN_Ue4qKLrY/v-deo.html

(If you liked bassist Marco's voice, here's 100% acoustical song fantasticly performed by him)
Have fun with (atleast some of) these + greetings from Finland, home of Nightwish. =)
Jeppe You can't throw people into Poet, you need to lead them in gently otherwise their heads might implode.
Also Song for Myself should be on the list so add that in at 2 and put Poet in at 7 as the grand finale.
@@hammerhiem75 I think he can handle all tracks in whatever order. =) Plus I didn't put any Wacken 2013 tracks in as so many always requests them anyways.
My list focuses more on 4k resolution videos as they offer superior video/audio quality + noone reaction channels nor request makers seems to know about them. Time to get that error fixed. Cheers!
A couple of days late, but welcome to the world of Nightwish. Hoping you'll do more of their songs. We do have a spot open for you in the Nightwish army ;-)
*Nightwish Army arrives* and says:
"Be prepared! The Nightwish Army is coming!" 😁
You want to hear more? You should, enjoy! ;)
One of the joys of Nightwish is the variation of styles they perform from the heavier songs to folky, operatic and rock but one of the constants is the Tuomas' excellent compositions. The more you check them out the more your will find to enjoy for sure.
Welcome to Nightwish! There are many more songs and performances to enjoy from all three singers
Nightwish has a wide span of tunes from the more slow ballads like sleeping sun and while your lips are still red... to the more uptempo as romanticide, wishmaster, storytime...
But in 2007 the band started to work with Troy Donockely, a multi instrumentalist from England. And he laid down pipes on a few song on "dark passion play".
He was soon looked upon as a member, so 6 years later he was added as the 6th member.
His entrance gave them a more folk inspired irish/Scottish sound, which you can hear on songs like "My Walden" and "the islander".
Floor is just amazingly versatile. Anything she's done with Nightwish is worth a listen. Right now though, I'm just soaking up everything she's been doing on the Dutch show Beste Zangers. It's 3 episodes in and she's sung in German, Dutch, and Spanish each with wildly different styles.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army, young Sam! 🤘
Floorgasm! Congrats! 83k in the crowd. She's even better today!
Floor used to do quite a bit of body building and she’s quite tall as well. She’s trained in classical, musical theatre and rock and has spent a long time as a vocal coach herself. She can also play the piano, guitar and violin. The reaction to her last note is universal; it has this primal power behind it, like an unstoppable force of nature. Let’s not leave out Tuomas, the composer behind this music (and the keyboards).
I love Floor Jansen and I love Nightwish. This concert was 6 years ago and I saw them 3 times since then.
You have to listen a more recent concert of them. Floor has improved her mastering of songs written previously for Tarja, and it is now better (even if you think it is not possible, it is). And their new songs are really great too. I can't wait their next album !!
WTF where the hell have I been, under a rock!!! I am blown away. Yep this is mega talent. WOW
Welcome to wonderful and magical world of Nightwish!
I loves watching vocal coaches reacting to a vocal coach.
lol "She's kind of glowy purply-blue, Not sure if that was intentional" yes, that would be their lighting guy! Nightwish has always had pretty good lighting, even back in the 90s when they were a tiny little metal group. Love that this was your first song of theirs; it's one of their oldest that they still play, but it hasn't really been amended much since the keyboardist wrote it. They also had other, previous vocalists, but neither had the range or magnificence of Floor.
And as a fellow Floor Fan, welcome to the club!
I love Nightwish so much and Floor in particular. She kills the song into atoms... and give all cred to the drummer (he's also awesome ofc).
Mesmerized, in love, lost in the performance. Great reaction ❤️
You gotta check out the song romanticide from that same show...
"The Goosie's" when listening to Nightwish with Floor Jansen is called a "Floorgasm", You should also check out early Nightwish with Tarja Turunen "Phantom of the Opera" for a more Operatic sound.
Welcome to the greatest symphonic metal band in the world. I love Nightwish and thank you for the reaction and the info on you give about the singing techniques.
Floor's got quite the back catalogue (and is doing De Beste Zangers on Dutch TV currently, which is an eclectic mix) She does a rather lovely rendition of O Mio Babbino Caro which is on YT.
