For me this era was the best. I loved the fantasy themes and the beauty and the beast themes that Tuomas composed! Tarja embodied the dark symphonic metal queen perfectly and Marco was simply the metal king!!! The version of "Slaying the Dreamer" from this concert is still one of my favorites as their combined vocals created pure magic 😊
I cried like a little boy when Tarja "left", but then I realized NW is not the only best thing in my life... But even then it hurt pretty bad, worse in fact than my first gf telling me to gtfo, or even some close relatives passing out. You know, that's just life, it has to happen sooner or later. But Tarja for me back then (I was/am a melodic metal freak, so I heard everything there was available at that time in the genre) WAS Nightwish, so it felt like an end of something truly unique for me. And then Annette came and while she was certainly not the worst, she just did not do it for me. She was kinda meh, in most NW performances. And then Floor came and we all know the remainder of the story. :D But I still follow Tarja (I just looove her cover of Poison, amongst others) and nobody will most likely ever sing "Bye Bye Beautiful" better than Annette and Marco.
The compositons from this era are the best by far. I love Floor but i think her songs on Revamp and AfterForever are better than nightwish's. Live she is amazing tho (singing the olds stuff)
Nightwish is a real phenomenon - 2 different singers, Tarja and Floor, and each manages to create a very different (sub) style with their voice and personality. A band that has 2 world class front singers (women) in 2 eras, perhaps unique. The fact some of us discuss which singer is better shows that this is the completely wrong question.....both are untouched in their own way, both are perfect. This song is just incredible, well written, amazing instruments, and this unlimited energy from Tarja with her operatic voice, making this so dark and powerful. Kudos to this band and their astonishing musicians....
Good example about Tarja. She is the Queen of Nightwish. From her era there are many songs where she absolutely shines brighter than Anette or Floor. She has such unique voice. Of course Floor has owned some songs from Tarja and Anette and in general is very good but if you look for the real Nightwish sound this is it. All three singers have their talent and songs. It is actually funny when people first get into Nightwish they see Floor and fall in love. After awhile they start to find other songs and singers like Tarja and fall in love again.
For me, Tarja was in a league of her own during that Nightwish era…as is Floor now. Tarja’s current solo work is impressive and worth a serious listen. The Nightwish army, of which there are many, (👋👋) know this as a great song and rightly belongs as a favourite. Sabina…the smile on your face was a sure sign that you have seen them live and know first hand just how good they are. Great song.👏
One of my favorites. Emppu gets to totally cut lose. And yes, Tarja is at the absolute heights of her energetic powers here. I do think she was having loads of fun with this song.
A little Iron Maiden shout out with The Trooper run right at the end. Love it. This is one of the first Nightwish tracks I ever heard. Still my favorite overall Nightwish album.
Yep .... a short section of Iron Maiden's Trooper @ the outro. Love it. For mee the original Nigthwish w Tarja is the one and only. Not diminshing Anette, nor Floor in any way. Those ladies are a very good singers. Back in early days (1998) i when i 1st saw the video "Sleeping Sun" ... It went like an auction .... "Going once, going twice .... SOLD!". Got hooked. Thou' I knew Marco from the Tarot. 😎
Hi Sabina. I've seen Nightwish live in Sydney, Australia, with Floor. I've also seen Tarja (solo tour) live in Miskolc, Hungary. Both were magical shows! No matter who the vocalist is for Nightwish, they're my favourite symphonic metal band. Emppu and Tuomas work extremely well together in this performance and Tarja is, as you say, Sabina, almost like this goddess figure. So glad to watch this and happy, as always, to hear your comments about it. Love from Australia.
Stargazers is another Nightwish song where Tarja really shines. Live version with her own band from Buenos Aires is the best version. Ofc there are many others as well.
I saw Nightwish on the Wishmaster tour in a small venus with a few hundred people. This was my favorite Nightwish song at the time (Fantasmic a close second). Yes, one of the best songs for her voice.
Thank you for this reaction!! I've listened to this song a million times but you made me notice new things I never paid attention to before, like how quick Jukka's drumming was at one point because Tarja's vocals were so calm there. The contrast reminded me of the ending of their song Beauty and the Beast, Jukka just going absolutely off on the drums while Tarja's voice soars above it, always gives me chills 🙏🏽❣ Wishmaster is such a great song & it was made for and is made by Tarja's voice.
Always feel bittersweet watching the songs from this performance as it was their last with Tarja. Especially as she wasn’t aware. The band is on absolute fire!🔥
Beautiful reaction, and I could not hide my excitement to see some love and appreciation for tarja and this era of nightwish, the one I fell in love with 20 years ago. If you like the energy and the sound of this song, please react to Crownless and, or Gethesmane. ✨🤘🏾
Yes indeed, Tarja shines in this track. She is still singing this song in her solo shows. Nowadays she usually has one Nightwish song in her set, it is this one, Nemo or Planet Hell usually. I hope that you can check out some of Tarja's solo work in the future😊 At the end of last year, Tarja released an amazing recording as a DVD of her show in Romania in 2020 that is called Circus Life. The sound of it is so grand. There are clips of it in UA-cam. I recommend that you do a song called Shadow Play from that concert. It was the last song in the concert. Shadow Play is from Tarja's latest solo album In the Raw (2019). Tarja has said that the song is about how we should stay strong and not let anyone manipulate us. And that we only have one life to live, the only chance to live and you should use that chance very well. I also believe that Tarja got reminded of that fact, that you truly should use that chance well, when she had a stroke. She got reminded that everything can end in a split second but luckily for her it didn't. Here is the live version: ua-cam.com/video/Go8L-9N1OJg/v-deo.html
Hi, Sabina. I'm happy to see a reaction of a Nightwish song with Tarja. So rare these days. Tarja truly shines in this version of Wishmaster. Have you watched any of the songs from the 2000 concert @ Tampare: From Wishes To Eternity? Tarja was amazing from start to finish. My highlights from that concert: The Kinslayer (show opener), Deep Silent Complete, Come Cover Me, Dead Boy's Poem (all four also available with Floor from the 2018 Decades live album), and Walking In The Air.
Thank you so much for this reaction. It is one of the 2 songs (the other was Wish i had an angel) that made me a big fan of nightwish in 1999. Tarja was a outstanding part of this group and only a singer like floor jansen could substitute her and hold up the quality.
Hi Sabina! Great reaction! Thank you for that! The good old Nightwish with Tarja, yes! I saw them 3 times live with Tarja, my first time hearing a NW song was in 97'. I love this song, it was also the name of the 3rd album. After the first 2 Angels falls first and Ozeanborne. My first NW song was Angels falls first, i'm not sure if there is a good live version (all with Tarja, Floor didn't sing this song, also not Beauty OF the Beast, it's a shame because that's 2 of my favorite NW songs) but i'm sure you would like both songs too. I know there is a good live Beauty of the beast version with Tarja, i think from 2002. The early years. I wish you a great new next week! 🤘 Bye!
Tarja said that Beauty of the Beast (my fav NW song) is very difficult to sing (vocally): she was pushed to her boundaries. Only once did I see them perform it live, and that was in 2002. The live version on YT is from the same tour and was recorded in Amsterdam. Wishmaster (the album) was my introduction to NW. A friend told me that he had found a unique Finnish band and I should really give it a listen.... a few months later I already went to my first NW concert.
@@duikmans i know, Beauty of the beast isn't easy to sing. But we talk about Floor, so i think she wouldn't have a problem sing that song. I don't think that's the reason why she doesn't sing this song and some others, Angels falls first as example.
Sabina I really waiting so long to you find finally absolutle Nightwish most underrated song ever..Creek Mary's blood..same concert..something unexpected, masterpiece
I just love Emppu's quitars on this one. They have revealed their next album would be heavier. I hope that means it's Emppu's turn to shine like on this one.
This song is the one that got me into Nightwish back in 2002. It's still one of my favourites. The Wishmaster performance from Wishes to Eternity 2001 is by far the best in my opinion. That whole concert is just out of this world. You should react to Nightwish - The Pharaoh Sails to Orion - From Wishes To Eternity
Nice to see Sabina "on fire" ... again. Once more, a nice reaction to the one of the best metal song ever made, in known human history. Nice detail @ backgroung ... a RGB-Sankara-stone, luckily w/o bad Priest, boy Maharadza & tugheens. "Kalimaa, kalimaa .... Shuttidee". 😂
If you like her staccato notes, check her performance of Passion of the opera from 2007. Another fantastic performance from the end of an era: Slaying the dreamer.
If you didnt saw Nightwish - Scaretale yet i recommend you to check this out. This song is with Anette and in my opinion one of her extra ordinary juwels
Fact. Filmed October 2, 2005. Helsinki Finland. Tarja had 5 costume changes that night. As for age, sure Marko.was 36, Tuomas was 26, Tarja also 26 -6 months on Tuomas, Jukka 25, Emppu 25 as well. The full DVD is uploaded. You see enough of this, lowlands 2005 (August) and.Wishes to Eternity you will get to know the band well. Just know sami was on bass until 2001. We won't see Marko until Wishmaster. 1st 5 albums Angels fall first Oceanbourne Wishmaster Century Child Once Those 5 1997 -2004 is where founder and lead singer Tarja sang on. ( Tuomas, Emppu & Tarja founded NW) from celtic/folk influences to Classica/Symphonic and power metal. You find it all there. Tarja was trained in chamber music or in German Lied music. Marko too had classical training. The point being how to be heard. How to control the sound. How to project without damaging your throat or voice. Too many huge stars had power and range. Abused their voices and bodies and lost that quality. Tarja now 45 (46 in August) has protected her voice and can sing so many diverse styles while adding flourishes and can reach shocking high notes without losing power. And yes she is such a show woman on stage. Dancing, swaying. Crouching. Pouring her heart into her music and how she moves on stage. Eye contact with the audience. Engaging them. This holds true on more intimate venues like the Theatre in Argentina where she did the DVD Act 1. Or years later in London with a small live audience, filmed in black & white Act II Metropolitan Studio and Milan Italy (in Colour) show cases how much she is loved all over the world. She has her head in the clouds but keeps her feet on the ground. Humble, kind, sweet, generous. Loved by everyone who knows her. And feel free to love what you love in any era.
The iron maiden riff to end it, love it xD. Wishmaster and Deep Silent complete were my intro songs to Nightwish, amazing pieces. But then, it was a 5 years journey of only bangers after that.
You won't be able to find a live performance or a video performance, but highly recommend that you listen to "Nightquest" by Nightwish from around the same period.
Firstly I will say I liked all NW singers, with a small lean to Floor. However in saying that I must say Tarja does a fantastic job with this, probably my favourite by her and of course Nemo has also got to be mentioned. ❤️🤘🎸🎻🇦🇺
I really like your reactions (on Nightwish), and I understand, that you also were in Hamburg 12. December last year. I sat next to the guy, who filmed the whole concert, which you can find on UA-cam....We should have shared a beer or two 😆
I heard this just then decades ago when it was released and it was great, now after years and hundreds of listenings (also from radio and background music) it gets more boring with the repeating chorus, that is more than familiar. A song of it's time surely and a big hit globally in the past..
The first Queen of Nightwish. An amazing concert. One of her best. Now, why have you not reacted to The Warning? They are taking the world R&R genre to new levels. Playing festivals in Europe and crushing it! They are like Nightwish, in that they are an amazing LIVE performance band. Three sisters from Mexico. Come on Sabina, it's time. One reaction in one year?????
The speed, the guitar solos, the huge sound. An absolute favourite of mine. I really don’t know how she sings that fast, tbh Oh, just FYI, don’t do that stupid Fishmaster song. You’ll never get it out of your head
Yeah Tarja is a witch queen. A bit shy 20 years ago, she was THE role model for a generation of Finnish goth girls. You can see them in the audience, at least during "Phantom of the Opera" camera shows a group of them couple of times. Once (maybe year 2000) I saw the audience of their gig. I was walking the city of Tampere and there were these goth girls everywhere. I was wondering if it is some witch world confrence or WTH.
great song... one of my favs. anyway... there is a misheard lyrics version that definately will bring a ear-to-ear smile - the fishmaster ua-cam.com/video/gg5_mlQOsUQ/v-deo.html
All hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑of NIGHTWISH and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGERS!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!!😀👍👍👍🤘
Since you have already reviewed Deutschland by Rammstein and enjoyed it, please review their song “Radio”. It’s amazing and I’m sure you’ll love it. Please review this. I’d love to see your reaction.🙏🏼
Someone on the Patreon can request this: ua-cam.com/video/oXUMpJqz-fE/v-deo.html Great live quality. Tarja on stage. And from a time before Marko was part of the band. Really great to throw back!!
The diamonds age of NW was with Tarja and maybe a few age with Annette,today NW is only pale shadow of that era, Floor is popular because of you tube existing, which was not causes when Tarja was singer and you tube was on beginning and was not so popular,when Tarja left NW all magic was gone with her.Her stages present was unic and mystical...
Not comparing because I love em both but some songs are delivered better. Wishmaster and Nemo is Tarjas and Ghost love score and 7 days to the wolves Floors Enjoy !
I would suggest for you to listen and react to Abim Finger (Indonesian Guitarist) Blues Rock Improvisation. Nothing Gonna Change My Love For You, Glasgow Kiss and others I think you would like them as well. Great reaction Sabina!
Is a shame that it's doesn't recognize so enough tarja's work in nightwish she was the real og vocalist and the best one I was nightwish fans but no longer since she left the band I mean in reality she was fired just for Thuomas ego. This is such a nostalgic to me you should be check it out more nightwish songs with tarja Sabina great reaction by the way 😅
Hi Sabina, we need YOUR reaction to Ren, Hi Ren, i've at least 50, but just waiting for yours. It's a MUST, you'll agree after doung it, i'm pretty sure, thanks , always around here.
What can I say? First NW albums were the best. "Wishmaster" was my first NW album and the first metal one. To me Wishmaster and Once are their best ones. "Wishmaster" album has such a great songs as... hell, every single song is fantastic with my personal their best song ever - FantasMic (album not live). Old good Nithwish with Tarja. Never the same after Tarja`s left. The older the band is the worster.
I've seen Tarja live in February in Italy and she sang this song beautifully and with an amazing energy. The audience went crazy during this song.
That's one of my favorite Nightwish songs too...Tarja has a strong energy when she's on stage, you can clearly see that she was born for it!
For me this era was the best. I loved the fantasy themes and the beauty and the beast themes that Tuomas composed! Tarja embodied the dark symphonic metal queen perfectly and Marco was simply the metal king!!! The version of "Slaying the Dreamer" from this concert is still one of my favorites as their combined vocals created pure magic 😊

And then Annette came and while she was certainly not the worst, she just did not do it for me. She was kinda meh, in most NW performances.
And then Floor came and we all know the remainder of the story. :D
But I still follow Tarja (I just looove her cover of Poison, amongst others) and nobody will most likely ever sing "Bye Bye Beautiful" better than Annette and Marco.
@@lazaruslong697 that song was a nasty attack on Tarja.
The compositons from this era are the best by far.
I love Floor but i think her songs on Revamp and AfterForever are better than nightwish's. Live she is amazing tho (singing the olds stuff)
Yes I believe Marko was at his pinnacle at this time. Just thinking about Phantom of the Opera cover.
Nightwish is a real phenomenon - 2 different singers, Tarja and Floor, and each manages to create a very different (sub) style with their voice and personality.

I love Tarja's solo Carrera, she's absolutely divine and clearly was born to be in a stage...🩷
One of my favorites. Emppu gets to totally cut lose. And yes, Tarja is at the absolute heights of her energetic powers here. I do think she was having loads of fun with this song.
Hey Sabina this is in my humble opinion AN ABSOLUTE BANGER AND TARJA'S VOCAL RANGE IS EPIC.
so glad you did this great reaction as always.
A little Iron Maiden shout out with The Trooper run right at the end. Love it.
This is one of the first Nightwish tracks I ever heard. Still my favorite overall Nightwish album.
Yep .... a short section of Iron Maiden's Trooper @ the outro. Love it. For mee the original Nigthwish w Tarja is the one and only. Not diminshing Anette, nor Floor in any way. Those ladies are a very good singers. Back in early days (1998) i when i 1st saw the video "Sleeping Sun" ... It went like an auction .... "Going once, going twice .... SOLD!". Got hooked. Thou' I knew Marco from the Tarot. 😎
One of my favorite Tarja songs.
Hi Sabina.
I've seen Nightwish live in Sydney, Australia, with Floor. I've also seen Tarja (solo tour) live in Miskolc, Hungary. Both were magical shows!

Love from Australia.
Stargazers is another Nightwish song where Tarja really shines. Live version with her own band from Buenos Aires is the best version. Ofc there are many others as well.
Tarja shines in every song... She is the undisputed queen of metal vocals.
She shines in all of the songs that were written for her.

I love this song from Nightwish ❤🤟🤘
For me after hearing this song a thousand times. I must admit this song is magical ❤
I love tarja's voice
One of my fav song by Tarja ❤❤❤
Hi, Sabina. I'm happy to see a reaction of a Nightwish song with Tarja. So rare these days. Tarja truly shines in this version of Wishmaster. Have you watched any of the songs from the 2000 concert @ Tampare: From Wishes To Eternity? Tarja was amazing from start to finish.

My great pleasure!! Such a treasure from Nightwish, I was so impressed by Tarja!! 🤟😃💥
check out slaying the dreamer she's awesome
This is one of my Favorite Nightwish songs
Chills one of my favs for sure a lot of power they look so young too Tarja killed that just think that was like 20years ago need more keep rocking
Great reaction as always Great band. Great music.. Great performance..Thank you.❤️

I just love Emppu's quitars on this one. They have revealed their next album would be heavier. I hope that means it's Emppu's turn to shine like on this one.
I really hope so. Not only is his playing great and he’s a joy to watch, but he writes exceptional solos.
End of an era
Great reaction Sabina. Tarja was epic on this song. I will see Nightwish for the first time in Berlin on the 9th June. Hope to see the army there
The Golden Age.....
Ah, you found the ultimate Tarja song (together with Beauty of the Beast): no one will ever be able to do it better.
This song is the one that got me into Nightwish back in 2002. It's still one of my favourites. The Wishmaster performance from Wishes to Eternity 2001 is by far the best in my opinion. That whole concert is just out of this world. You should react to Nightwish - The Pharaoh Sails to Orion - From Wishes To Eternity

Yes, Queen Tarja is great! I love Floor but there is always a place in my heart for Tarja too! Great! ☝🤘 💖🌹
If you like her staccato notes, check her performance of Passion of the opera from 2007.
Another fantastic performance from the end of an era: Slaying the dreamer.
If you didnt saw Nightwish - Scaretale yet i recommend you to check this out. This song is with Anette and in my opinion one of her extra ordinary juwels
Tarja, die Göttin😍
Fact. Filmed October 2, 2005. Helsinki Finland. Tarja had 5 costume changes that night. As for age, sure Marko.was 36, Tuomas was 26, Tarja also 26 -6 months on Tuomas, Jukka 25, Emppu 25 as well. The full DVD is uploaded. You see enough of this, lowlands 2005 (August) and.Wishes to Eternity you will get to know the band well. Just know sami was on bass until 2001. We won't see Marko until Wishmaster.
1st 5 albums
Angels fall first
Oceanbourne
Wishmaster
Century Child
Once
Those 5 1997 -2004 is where founder and lead singer Tarja sang on. ( Tuomas, Emppu & Tarja founded NW) from celtic/folk influences to Classica/Symphonic and power metal. You find it all there. Tarja was trained in chamber music or in German Lied music. Marko too had classical training. The point being how to be heard. How to control the sound. How to project without damaging your throat or voice.
Too many huge stars had power and range. Abused their voices and bodies and lost that quality.

And yes she is such a show woman on stage. Dancing, swaying. Crouching. Pouring her heart into her music and how she moves on stage. Eye contact with the audience. Engaging them.

Or years later in London with a small live audience, filmed in black & white Act II Metropolitan Studio and Milan Italy (in Colour) show cases how much she is loved all over the world. She has her head in the clouds but keeps her feet on the ground. Humble, kind, sweet, generous. Loved by everyone who knows her.
And feel free to love what you love in any era.
The iron maiden riff to end it, love it xD. Wishmaster and Deep Silent complete were my intro songs to Nightwish, amazing pieces. But then, it was a 5 years journey of only bangers after that.
Love this song so much! one of my top 3! hehe just saying
Love Nightwish
Thanks! I hadn't seen this before. I usually skip Tarja performances but this was good.
You won't be able to find a live performance or a video performance, but highly recommend that you listen to "Nightquest" by Nightwish from around the same period.
Firstly I will say I liked all NW singers, with a small lean to Floor. However in saying that I must say Tarja does a fantastic job with this, probably my favourite by her and of course Nemo has also got to be mentioned. ❤️🤘🎸🎻🇦🇺
Thanks!!!
Hahaha... Loved the Iron Maiden's 'The Trooper' outro! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
10/10 igen Sabina. Tack!
The very few mention that in the morning rehearsal Tarja couldn't sing. She had a fever and was sick at this recital.
Love the Iron Maiden riff at the end!
We love Nightwish because of the opera vocals
I like that you don’t pause the song during reaction and say what you want in text👍
I really like your reactions (on Nightwish), and I understand, that you also were in Hamburg 12. December last year. I sat next to the guy, who filmed the whole concert, which you can find on UA-cam....We should have shared a beer or two 😆
Nightwish's best era! Today no Empu, no Tarja and no Marco I miss those days! 😢 Hello gorgeous Sabina! 😍
Emppu is still there with Tuomas. 2/3 of the founders Tarja was 3rd. Jukka & Sammi joined after. But yes they were amazing. 😊
I heard this just then decades ago when it was released and it was great, now after years and hundreds of listenings (also from radio and background music) it gets more boring with the repeating chorus, that is more than familiar. A song of it's time surely and a big hit globally in the past..
Old Nightwish-Nostalgia.....
Hamster, a Dentist!
the one and original song of misheard lyrics
The first Queen of Nightwish. An amazing concert. One of her best. Now, why have you not reacted to The Warning? They are taking the world R&R genre to new levels. Playing festivals in Europe and crushing it! They are like Nightwish, in that they are an amazing LIVE performance band. Three sisters from Mexico. Come on Sabina, it's time. One reaction in one year?????
Jukka’s drumming in this is nuts
Ye the Nightwish queen.
The speed, the guitar solos, the huge sound. An absolute favourite of mine. I really don’t know how she sings that fast, tbh
Oh, just FYI, don’t do that stupid Fishmaster song. You’ll never get it out of your head
Mr Nevalainen on the drums😃🥳
Yeah Tarja is a witch queen. A bit shy 20 years ago, she was THE role model for a generation of Finnish goth girls. You can see them in the audience, at least during "Phantom of the Opera" camera shows a group of them couple of times. Once (maybe year 2000) I saw the audience of their gig. I was walking the city of Tampere and there were these goth girls everywhere. I was wondering if it is some witch world confrence or WTH.
one of my favorite songss!! have u heard kinslayer yet?
great song... one of my favs.
anyway... there is a misheard lyrics version that definately will bring a ear-to-ear smile - the fishmaster

It's time to Porcupine Tree - The start of something beautiful
All hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑of NIGHTWISH and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGERS!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!!😀👍👍👍🤘
More Therion, please. Arrows from the Sun etc.
After watching\listening to this song, you might as well look for Fishmaster, just for fun, the person who put the words together is very clever
Since you have already reviewed Deutschland by Rammstein and enjoyed it, please review their song “Radio”. It’s amazing and I’m sure you’ll love it. Please review this. I’d love to see your reaction.🙏🏼

Great live quality. Tarja on stage. And from a time before Marko was part of the band.
Really great to throw back!!
And at the very end, Marko and Emppu end with a little riff from Iron Maiden's The Trooper.
The diamonds age of NW was with Tarja and maybe a few age with Annette,today NW is only pale shadow of that era, Floor is popular because of you tube existing, which was not causes when Tarja was singer and you tube was on beginning and was not so popular,when Tarja left NW all magic was gone with her.Her stages present was unic and mystical...
U know, nightwish and floor, tarja, anetta is one and one seme band.
please, Make an analysis Queensrÿche - The Chase feat. R. J. Dio.
(Live at The Moore Theater, 2006)
Not comparing because I love em both but some songs are delivered better. Wishmaster and Nemo is Tarjas and Ghost love score and 7 days to the wolves Floors Enjoy !
I still hear the Misheard Lyrics version in my head 😂
I would suggest for you to listen and react to Abim Finger (Indonesian Guitarist) Blues Rock Improvisation. Nothing Gonna Change My Love For You, Glasgow Kiss and others I think you would like them as well. Great reaction Sabina!
Is a shame that it's doesn't recognize so enough tarja's work in nightwish she was the real og vocalist and the best one I was nightwish fans but no longer since she left the band I mean in reality she was fired just for Thuomas ego. This is such a nostalgic to me you should be check it out more nightwish songs with tarja Sabina great reaction by the way 😅
Hey Sabina :) Love your content especailly Warduna, but could you check out ORPHANED LAND feat. Hansi Kürsch - Like Orpheus ? Or All is One?
If you want to re-hear it with a humorous take on the lyrics…. ua-cam.com/video/gg5_mlQOsUQ/v-deo.html
React Last ride of the day ft tony kako at rock in rio
And Stargazers at Wembley, no skip the intro, you want see her growl
Now listen to the Van Canto acapella version :D
Tarja made the band Gothic!!!
Deberías escuchar a Lacrimosa, temas como Satura o Schakal
Hi Sabina, we need YOUR reaction to Ren, Hi Ren, i've at least 50, but just waiting for yours. It's a MUST, you'll agree after doung it, i'm pretty sure, thanks , always around here.

@@sabina1118 just a little pressure haha
There is a much better version of this song, with "the misheard lyrics", called Fish Master. 😆

Infant Annihilator Blasphemian with videoclip please ❤️
My favorite Nightwish song might be amazing dark haunting groovy 'Tribal' ua-cam.com/video/s0bG2ce5blo/v-deo.html
Of course, Floor could also perform this song perfectly - but she couldn't bring out the soul of the song, because it is Tarja's soul.
Floor gave it a try during their tour in Japan. At the end of the song she had a "nope" look on her face.
Do not, I repeat, do not watch the "Misheard Lyrics of Wishmaster" video unless you want a good laugh.
Next could be "Fishmaster"? Missheard lyrics.....
Check out "Nightwish misheard lyrics" this song too.
Hamster, a dentist, hard-core, Steven Seagal, warrior, this rifle in me, fishmaster.
Hamster.. A dentist... Hardporn.. Steven Seagull... Warrior.. This rifle.. In me.. The fishmaster. *singing*
No tarja no nigthwish
What can I say? First NW albums were the best. "Wishmaster" was my first NW album and the first metal one. To me Wishmaster and Once are their best ones. "Wishmaster" album has such a great songs as... hell, every single song is fantastic with my personal their best song ever - FantasMic (album not live).
Old good Nithwish with Tarja. Never the same after Tarja`s left. The older the band is the worster.
Century Child is my favorite one. But I fully agree that those were the best albums.
Hamster, a dentist, hard porn, Steven Seagal ... best misheard lyrics ever with this song .... :)
