Before I start getting comments on this, I definitely uploaded in 1080 on this video, and something is glitching and changing it to 360, so my apologies! I'm working on it!
Might be a youtube thing . Your ghost love score video was fine at first for me then it gliched later . Now it is back to normal.
Glad you're back with Nightwish! Love Floor and you're reactions are great! Wait to you get to some of her solo stuff, but there's soooo many NW tunes to react to, I'll enjoy reliving the journey with ya!
We all understand. It's just youtube doing youtube stuff. Thanks for taking the time to create and share this wonderful reaction with us.
Sometimes YT needs a Bit more time for Rendering Higher quality happens with Others Channels i follow too.
As long as the audio is OK, I don't care about the video resolution. As I commented before, I much appreciate the great amount of screenspace you give to the band!
Love your reactions. And let me tell you something: DO NOT WORRY ABOUT PAUSING. PLEASE PAUSE AND TALK ABOUT IT. Most of us have heard these songs 500 times and are here to hear your opinion and to get your breakdown. Elizabeth from CV pauses about a 100 times and rewinds each part multiple times, and has over a million subscribers, so please, just tell the people who complain about the pauses to go watch the original. PLEASE PAUSE MORE!
Well stated! I agree completely. We know we can watch the original any time we want to (and do). We're here for your reaction, so pause and react away to your heart’s content!
Thank you!💕
I gho with JO for 110% most of us know which Song comes next by the Humming of the Stage Monitors:D and some can say from heart how many Plektrons Empuu throws exactly when in which Song into the Crowd. We are here for your Commenting and Emotions. Plz Pause, Lady of the Vowels;)
Absolutely don’t worry about pausing. Every reactor who does an in-depth analysis (whether vocal or another aspect) pauses a lot. If you have something to say, stop the video and say it.
I fully agree. The only thing that started to annoy me with other reactors is lying about the reason for the pausing. Just acknowledge that it is needed for the copyright protections. We all know how it is, no big deal.
Every Nightwish fan watching this video: "she hasn't even heard Marko sing yet" 😂😂😂
Next up: Ever Dream (Live Wacken 2013) 😊
I concur!
@@gailbreslin5441 I also concur :)
100 %
Lol,and NW's best singer is still Marco Hietala(at least for me). I'm still hoping that he would be back,one day
@@Kromvato sadly I think that ship has sailed. Hope I'm wrong
Pauses are no issue for us true NW fans. We've heard these songs thousands of times. Just happy to get more people exited for this band.
💯% agree with you. Also super fun to watch al of those 'awe' moments😉😜
Tuomas: -We use backing tracks in the breakdown with an opera voice.
Floor: - Awwwww that is so sweet you funny little man. Now hold my glass of wine and let me show you have it´s done without backing track.
Tuomas: - Ok my Valkyrie Queen.
Hahahahahaha
😆
Floor is amazing but they started with an amazing opera singer so I think your comment is not valid😘
* RED wine. 🍷😄
@@iina6106 not in Storytime. It's an Anette song so I don't really know what you mean.
@@iina6106 This song was written for and recorded with Anette on the Imagenearum album and she didn't do any operatic singing. The operatic part was on the backing track at live shows with Anette.
"She used every part of her voice." Actually, there's lots left in the toolbox you have yet to hear. She has only given a hint at distortion in these two songs. She can get much heavier with the distortion, plus vocal fry and false cord growls. Then there's her ability to sing in different languages, which requires an awareness of where vowels are placed. So far she has sung in eight languages (speaking four, plus a bit of the fifth). The sheer variety of genres she can manage is something else. We haven't yet talked about vocal agility. Just when we think we have heard everything, she'll pull something new out of the toolbox.
Have fun exploring . . .
😱
@@KatieJeanOBrien can't wait to see your face on some incredible Floor's Surprises!
@singing lessons with Katie Jean O'Brien two songs which are very different from each other and showcase the variety of what she is able to do are "Yours is an empty hope"(Wembley Arena) and "Shoemaker" (album version or Hellfest version). Wish you a lot of fun discovering Nightwish.
This one is from the 2nd lead singer Anette Olzon era. Every song at this show was written for one of the first 2 singers. The operatic part was originally done with a choir, as that vocal style isn't in Anettte's wheelhouse, she has more of a pop/rock style. Floor took over those parts when she joined. She added to most of the songs and made them her own. Primary songwriter, Tuomas Holopainen, likes themes of stories andchildhood innocence. He's also a fan of composer Hans Zimmer, and Disney.
This Wacken show is an iconic performance, and a great gateway to their music. More from this show to try, Romanticide, Song of Myself, Everdream, and Ghost River.
Most fans are OK with pausing, we came here to hear what you have to say, to see your reaction. We've heard the songs many times before.
Definitely Ever Dream...
@@cyborgslayer8083 Yep, time to unleash Marko!
I would be curious to see how many times I have watched people reacting to Nightwish.
@@orion351us 🤘Hanoi Rocks 🖖
@@orion351us Me too!
Ever Dream from this show is a banger. And Floor has said herself that that song is the most difficult song for her to sing. Not that it shows but still. Hahahahaha
I can’t wait to check it out!
@@KatieJeanOBrien Yep, that one, then Romanticide
@@KatieJeanOBrien you'll love it, think it's my favorite! Saw them live in Minneapolis last year, Ever Dream blew me away live!
@@KatieJeanOBrien Oh, it happens to be the right time of the year because Ever Dream contains an Easter Egg... with a BIG surprise for you in terms of vocals!
Can't wait to see your face on that reaction video.😉
Greetings and a happy Easter to you and your family from Italy!👋🇮🇹🖖
I concur on Ever Dream should be next! But by now, I think Shoemaker is more of a challenge then Ever Dream.
Before she joined Nightwish .. she has been a voice teacher and vocal coach. Trained in Rock, Musical Theater, Opera .. self described as a music nerd. Latest videos of Nightwish on tour she is windmilling .. and visibly pregnant with her second child. Amazing .. and beautiful.
Incredibly amazing!
@@KatieJeanOBrien Actually, you would think that she would take a break after the Asia tour - not so Floor. Now she's going straight on her solo tour... What a power package! This woman simply cannot be human.
Basically she called herself a vocal nerd
She was in After Forever. That's how I first heard her.
@@Kelsea-2002 You heard already that Nightwish is going to step down for any foreseeable amount time of touring eh... they are not going to tour at all with their next album releasing -24...
You had me crying at the end when you mentioned teachers limiting styles. As a music major and piano teacher I feel you. I tell my students I want them to learn the rules so they can learn how to break them.
YES! This!💕
After 2 videos you're already one of my favorite reactors, and I've already seen a lot! The combination of musical competence and genuine enthusiasm in a "simple" video with a few good breaks is a real joy, thank you for that! Subscribed and excited for your next Nightwish/Floor experience! 🫶🤘
Wow, thank you!
I agree with Peter. In both this video and Ghost Love Score you apologized for not doing the things a certain way. Don't worry about that. If someone doesn't like your style or analysis they can go watch something else. These are your videos. You do them the way you want to do them. That is how you will feel most comfortable and will get the most enjoyment from making the videos. I know where to find all these songs without having to listen to a "pesky" reactor pause and react. If I just wanted to listen to the song I wouldn't be on your channel. I'm watching your video because I want your authentic reactions and thoughts.
Me too!
That's one (of many) things about Floor, She doesn't just sing a song, she tells a story.
Watching your reaction is like looking in a mirror 3 years ago when I first heard Floor and NIghtwish.........the sheer look of joy.........just like Christmas morning as a kid!
Ha! Awesome!
Just as a follow up, if this is your favorite kind of singing.........ever bought a CD or an album and every last song on it was soooo good? Consider Floor's singing over the last 20 years as one of those CD's!
This song was written for the second singer of Nightwish, Anette, and she couldn’t sing operatic. So the choir did those pieces of music in this song. But when Floor joined the band she decided to sing these parts herself. And she does this on other tracks as well, like the Poet and the Pendulum and Song of Myself.
Wonderful!!
Excellent reaction Katie! The best part of this is that you only think that you've heard Floor use every part of her voice. There are still many surprises to come. What you call "growley" Floor calls "a bit of colour" 😁 Aside from her performances in previous band 'ReVamp', the best example of Floor growling with Nightwish is in 'Yours is an Empty Hope' ua-cam.com/video/DuwY1d-KIss/v-deo.html In the chorus of this song Marko takes the high side while Floor drops VERY low 😊
So good!
So glad you finally got to hear Floor. She can sing like an angel, growl like a heavy metal beast, and everything in between. And in several languages. She's one of the best.
I have the same feeling... how is that possible that I just discovered Nightwish last summer when I was searching for The Phantom of the opera song and the search engine recommended song was Nightwish End of an Era performance. Since then I discovered an amazing new world. Each Nightwish song is a journey of excellence. I cannot not believe that I only discovered Nightwish a few months ago.
But you did, many Things happen for an reason, when they , well...happen:)
I discovered them in 2020 ...and it's turned into a bit of an obsession. I was so lucky to see them live in NY last year. Amazing!!!!!!
Did you also see Nightwish Phantom of the Opera 2022 ?
Or the "Beste Zangers 2019" version ?
Both with the original Dutch Phantom Henk Poort?
That's how I discovered Floor and Nightwish.
@@bettymajoor Yes, I have seen both performances. Floor is amazing. The more I see, the more I liked it.
@@robspence2276 fort all of us its a obsession, every day a bit of Nightwish😁
I think now might be a good time to dip into Beste Zangers, a Dutch music show where the singers sing songs that are special to the other singers on the show….Floor sings in multiple languages in multiple styles, really, trust me, you need to see this….
It's going to be hard for you to choose between Romanticide and Ever Dream next. Romanticide has a bigger "holy crap" moment. But Ever Dream from a technical Singing perspective...the fact that Floor herself calls it the most difficult Nightwish song to sing tells you all you need to know about it. You can't go wrong with either.
To give you some background on this song: Storytime was written for Anette,, Nightwish ‘s second lead singer and Floor‘s predecessor. Anette is a pop singer and not classically trained. So in the part of the song where Floor is singing classical, there is a children’s choir on the backing track. Anette did not sing during that part in the original version of the song. Floor sings this part at the pitch of the children’s choir, because she can…
The opera section was originally performed on the backing track by a choir. When Floor became the lead singer she opted to do that section herself and the choir was removed from the track.
Actually the choir wasn't removed. She sings along the choir.
Excellent reaction, do not worry you never heard of Floor and Nightwish before. Although she is Dutch most of us Dutch people heard of here either up to 2019 (!) When she performed in a Beste Zangers show, doing classical music (Vilja Lied). Turned Spanish Salsa into metal/salsa. Did Shallow (Lady Gaga) with her own twist and last but not least Phantom of the Opera with the original Dutch Phantom. She blew everyone away. It kick started a series of youtube covers, her own show and now even her own (self written) album... All the while raising a daughter, last year battling breastcancer and recently touring Asia, very pregnant of her second child after releasing her Album. I think she is the epitomy of a powerhouse and a lighting beacon for young women you can have it all.
Such a great reaction. Yes, sing whatever styles you need to express yourself. Telling stories and using dynamics to keep the audience hooked. When I saw Nightwish with Floor, the whole place when crazy. She is soooo good, it's unfair really. Goosebumps city for me, always. Wishing you a very long and amazing trip on the Nightwish and Floor express. Cheers. oh, by the way, there's a video about how Floor came to join the band. It's called 'Learn the set list in 48hrs', it's awesome.
Thank you!!!
@@KatieJeanOBrien yup "learn the setlist in 48h" shows us Floor recovering from a burnout to answer the sos call of Nightwish touring in U.S.A. to replace their lead female singer, Anette Olson, and she just had 48h to learn lyrics and how to sing 15 sounds she has never heard. And then boom! On the stage, and... magic happenned!
If you'd like to hear Floor do straight up opera, she performs O Mio Babbino Caro somewhere here on UA-cam. She hits a home run, as expected.
💕💕💕
@@KatieJeanOBrien Sabat Mater Dolorosa Variation Duet with and good Friend of Her( another great female Metal Singer, Simone Simmons) in the middle of an Epica Concert circles the Net too:) She does the Alt Part at that Time, also an perhaps interesting One for You.
O Mio Babbino Caro is quite short so maybe do double reaction with Misery's no Crime @ Mezz Breda 17-01-2014. After that you can start to fill all the genres between:)
‘ I think I have been living in a cave’. You are not the only one. Nightwish is the worlds best kept secret, but once you have discovered them, what a journey. My own epiphany was 6 jan 2022, wacken 13 GLS. Keep on board, but save Poet and the pendulum until you have heard quite a bit of NW, know something of the back story and listen/watch Floor, poet, Wembley. And, never forget the Nightwish journey needs Tarja and Annette as well as Goddess❤❤❤❤❤Floor. Story time is, of course, an ‘Annette’ track originally.
I’m so glad I caught you yesterday early on in the beginning of your journey, immediately subscribing. I now anxiously await every NW reaction you are about to do. At 66 years young I now have dropped everything else I used to listen to realizing it was all just mainstream America “soulless”music. Nothing else brings me chills and tears like Floor’s masterclass fronting of Nightwish does. Nothing else will do anymore. Representing the Southeast Michigan Nightwish Army here and awaiting these three next: Song of Myself, Everdream and Romanticide. All from Wacken 2013. Thank you!!
Thank YOU!
You' ll be amazed by some other songs by Floor. Look at Sancta Terra, from Epica, where she sings with another famous Dutch metal singer. And 'How is the heart' acoustic version from Planet Rock. Enjoy the rest of your Nightwish ride!
Thank you!
Great reaction! Glad you enjoyed it. And now we dive further down the Nightwish rabbit hole. Next up on your play list should be (Romanticide ) or (Everdream) from this same concert if you don't mind me making a suggestion.
Great reaction again! Don't worry about the pausing - it's only when reactors pause every 5 seconds and then don't 'back up' before continuing that gets annoying. You get the feeling that they're not listening to the whole song, just separate phrases as if they're unconnected. Oh, and don't be too concerned about being hit with copyright strikes either - Nightwish view reactions as adverts for their music - the popularity of their work with reactors has had a big impact on their reach. Looking forward to your continued amazement!
Well, copyright STRIKES are scary, three of them and your channel is history. Copyright CLAIMS are to be expected when reacting to any music video.
Be careful especially when reacting to clips from music festivals like Hellfest. They are known for hitting reaction channels with copyright strikes!
Floor has only shown you about 25-30%, she can do anything vocally that she chooses. I love strong vocals, of all kinds, and Floor is just amazing. She considers herself a vocal nerd, and was taught the same things initially, about only vocally choosing one path. She can sing anything she chooses, beautifully. Thank you for your reactions, hold onto your hat because Floor has a lot more to show you she can do vocally.
My favorite Nightwish song. Fell in love with them due to watching reactions of this performance and then had to go see them live - and i will say - yes, they are overwhelming in person. Floor was stunning to hear in person. I couldn't even make sense of it in my head, but a few times I was pretty sure she didn't need a mic. The chorus in this song is one of my all-time favorites of any song. It's so beautiful; I love the cries, coming down at the end of the phrases to the lowest note. Also the energy - both from the crowd and them on stage. When watching this, I alway feel like those 3 girls towards the end - literally having the time of their lives. Would have loved to have seen theis show. It's a contender for when I perfect my time machine. Happily waiting for more Nightwish reactions. I don't even need to suggest any. They are all good.
I am so excited for more!
Dear Dear Lady ...YOU Are The Truth 💜
Greatest song since the beginning of man, and the greatest vocal woman in history to sing it. Best band members of the Nightwish band in their history.
She did NOT use every part of her voice! 🙂
You've a lot to discover yet!
In her former band Revamp she seamlessly switched between opera and deathmetal growls. 😁

This one is better overall (Here's my hell):

*laughs in "Distain"* 😅😅😅🤘🤘🤘
@@JB-tc1xw Or Here's My Hell - From soft to growl within one word.
Yeah
Lots more to explore 😜🤘🔥
I've heard that last note....over the last 4 years, probably 10000 times.
We need more Nightwish reactions - Ever dream wacken 2013 live and Romanticide wacken 2013 live. As an aspiring singer, your reactions are my favorite! Floor's voice is so healthy and consistent, full of colors!
You should check floor`s participation on the Beste Zangers TV show. She blew everyone`s minds by singing many differente styles and languages... there`s even a video of her on a radio show singing the phone book.. and she nailed it. Perfect singer.
Pausing to add something to your commentary is perfectly expected. You back it up enough to not break the flow of the song. Your channel, your pause button. You do you
Excellent reaction . you have no idea what your about to experience . one of the next on Gabriel's list is "Romanticide" let me give you a heads up its heavy belting and put some rubber bands on your socks because the last note will blow your socks off
😱😱😱
Thank you for a brilliant reaction Katie from someone who knows what she talking about. Lovely to know that Floor inspires you. Please more NW reactions...❤🤘
Thank you so much!
@@KatieJeanOBrien Does that mean you'll do more NW?...😉
Nightwish Army Southwest Michigan Division checking in. Your reaction showed up on my radar. I can't wait to follow you as you continue to discovery more of this awesome band.
I’m originally from Flint, MI! Greetings!
There can be only One , and SHE is that ONE , my Valkyrie Queen
Awesome reaction :) I will strongly recommend you either do The Poet And The Pendulum live from Wembley, or Nemo live from the same concert (Wembley is the best one for those two songs) Keep it going! :D
I definitely will!
@@KatieJeanOBrien Please please don`t do The Poet without knowing all the story behind.....
It gives you a lot of understanding what its all about......
Very true, I was a bit quick with this comment! The story behind poet and the pendulum is crucial to experience the song!
@@KatieJeanOBrien yes please watch a lot of their work first and do read about the background of TPATP, there is a lot of info on that subject on the internet. Lots of reactors scr*w up their comments because they have no clue what it is about🙏
@@KatieJeanOBrien The Poet and the Pendulum is a monumental and pivotal moment in Nightwish history and is one of their 3 opus songs (Ghost Love Score and The Greatest Show on Earth being the other two) but its a deeply, deeply personal song for Tuomas (keyboard player and leader of the band). As others have said, don't rush into this one, listen to some of their other songs first, get to know them, take a look at some of their earlier work with Tarja and Annette, do some research (its all out there on the net) because it'll really help you understand the place where the pain, the angst, the loneliness and desperation in that song is all coming from.
Enjoy your journey with Nightwish!
It is a (dark) chest of wonders thst will keep suprising!!
Thank you!
Love it when your jaw drops !! Me too, and I've heard her hundreds of times !! Best female singer "All-Time" !!
You’ll know you’re a true fan when you can look at a random video from Wacken 2013 & know where in the show it is by the costume Floor’s wearing, which song she changed during, and the near "wardrobe malfunction" it all involved.
Seriously… most singers sing what they can. Floor sings what she wants…. 💪🏻💪🏻
💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙
Infantryman-Nightwish Army. US Regiment. Kentucky Battalion
RIP Ann Waychoff-Commanding General-Nightwish Army
BTW…beware the sure-to-come cat fight amongst us fans over the merits of each of the 3 Nightwish female vocalist. Some of us can get kinda ugly behind it. I’m guilty of that ☹️. All are GIFTED hard working professional vocalists. But…🤷🏼♂️ Floor rules all 😏😏
Very nice reaction as always! And, please don't apologize for pausing and commenting. The best part of the video is your commentary and analysis (after all, we've all seen the performance a billion times). You're getting the hang of when to pause and you are backing up to re-hear a particularly good bit and allowing for the flow of the piece. There is nothing more boring, for me, than a reactor who only pauses once or twice to say"Wow, that is so cool" or "Amazing" or some other obvious comment. I'm really looking forward to more Nightwish reactions/analysis from you.
You should check out the video from the Wintertour 2022 "Nightwish - The Phantom Of The Opera (ft. Henk Poort) (LIVE)"
It was a special event, she performed the song in Amsterdam with a dutch singer, who mainly plays operas and musicals. One of his major roles was The Phantom.
Your channel, your reactions and analysis, enjoy your journey.
Thank you! Will do!
I love your enthusiasm! I am stoked to see your next Nightwish surprise! ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎
Thank you!! 😁
And once again a channel I can follow along for one of the greatest musical rabbit holes there is.
I'm not saying I want you to watch every single video Gabriel provided to you, but that's exactly what I want.
Haha! Oh I will!
You're right, she's perfect 😊🤟🏻🇳🇱 you've seen and heard nothing yet though. Keep going you won't be sorry...
Katie, once again, you put a smile on my face! Loved every bit of your reaction!
And just to let you know, that vocal riffing, you called it? That vocal improvisation? Not in the original studio recording, or in any performance Annette Olzon ever sang, for Storytime. Floor did that on her own, and did it because she could -- and in doing so, made Storytime her own, just like she made Ghost Love Score her own, since Ghost Love Score was originally written for Tarja Tarunen, Nightwish's first vocalist.
Edit: Katie, I think you're ready for your first true heavy metal song by Nightwish: Romanticide. To give you a little tease, Romanticide has something in it no other Nightwish song does: A chromatic vocal slide by Floor that ends in such a high, clear note, that I call it "The Banshee Wail."
That will be my next one!!!
Nobody here in Holland knew her. And she entered beste zangers holland. 9 weeks of perfection followed where she showed it all. Vilja lied to phantom off the opera. Proud to be dutch
She has some amazing stuff on her solo channel, would love to see you react to Face Your Demons from her solo concert in Amsterdam.
I suggest Ever Dream and Romanticide from the same show 😊 So you can also hear the male voice 🤫
Hi Katie, greetings from UK
That was another great reaction, thank you 😊
Please don't be concerned about pausing, we are used to people doing that in order to give their thoughts and we really enjoy hearing what people think of the music and singing, especially technical explanations like yours.
The song "Ever Dream" is my best guess for your next reaction. You will hear Marko the bassist sing a couple of lines. He also has a terrific voice and was the main singer in the bands he was in before joining Nightwish. He and Floor are often singing together in Nightwish songs
And wait til you hear her growl with Marko! "Yours Is An Empty Hope"
There is a video of Floor singing Puccini Aria on Dutch TV a few weeks before this concert ,,😎
that concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, it is useless to suggest a song in it, just search "Nightwish wacken 2013" and any performance is a masterpiece.
Nightwish - Ever Dream (Wacken 2013). I like it very much.
Love love love your reaction... we, as Nightwish lovers, know when to look at your face when Floor is bringing the floorgasms 😂 to hear Floor full on growling, check out "yours is an empty hope" live at wembley
It's funny, each Nightwish song is different yet you can tell it's them. Each song is unique and has it's own twists. And each member is part of the team, no one showing off or trying to out do someone else. And throw in that they are better in person than on recording. Amazing band.
The Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy 😇 is perfection 🥰 💞 ❤
Nightwish and Floor Jansen have so many mind-blowing performances, I envy you are discovering them for the first time. If you want to see a truly "epic" performance with an accompanying orchestra and choir, you should check out Epica + Floor performing "Sancta Terra." A Simone Simons and Floor Jansen duet is almost too much to handle, plus the overall performance is mind-blowing. Recommend: _Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show_
Don't worry about pausing if you have something relevant to say! Most of us here are huge fans who know the performance by heart so a relevant pause here and there is no problem at all!
Great Reaction! At this point Floor had only been with Nightwish for about 10 months. Something happened to their other singer when they were on tour in the U.S. (Seattle) and Toumas called Floor to see if she could come fill in. So the people at this concert in Wacken (pronounced vahken) Germany might have heard Floor sing in her other bands, but they had not heard her sing Nightwish songs.
Thank you for another entertaining and enthusiastic reaction to Nightwish and Floor. 🤗 If you ever meet an old singing teacher of yours,let him listen to a song by Nightwish and Floor. He will never say anything so stupid again. 😂 I would love to suggest you a song from Nightwish, but I just don't know which of these fantastic ones to choose - there are just too many! No matter which one you choose, it will inspire you! Best regards,Kelsea
Thank you!💕
indeed
Thanks for your reaction on this one and the previous one. A nice suggestion for the next one could be: Shoemaker (official video)
Not frustrating at all, your amazing. 😊
I absolutely understand that there are individuals that want to listen to the song over and over without pauses. And its vital to pay attention to that crowd. But not at the cost of vocal analysis. Most of us here are not professional singers and your insight is so helpful. My suggestion would be to talk as much as you want, especially at the end of the video. My two cents worth. Love your energy. Take care.
Thank you!
Good luck w/ the technical issues, seems to be a common experience w/ youtubers :) Glad to see you being comfortable stopping and going back to pick out technical Stuff for us! And, can't wait to watch you slide further into the Nightwish rabbit hole - enjoy!, and thanks again for sharing your excitement with all of us out here on The 'Net!
Thank you!!
This whole concert is a coming out party for Floor and the band, nobody knew it at the time but she'd not long been asked to become a permanent member of the band (it was announced later in the year 8. When you get to "Last ride of the day" pay close attention to how Floor interacts with Toumas (keyboards) and Marco (bassist) and what lyrics she's singing at the time because it's a big clue to what was happening behind the scenes.
Floor's accuracy is superhuman. Ask her for an A, and she can just belt out a perfect A440, no hunting required. (And hold it for 6 or 8 seconds, add some vibrato, and slide to wherever else she feels like going.) "Storytime" and "Ever Dream", in particular, really show off this remarkable ability.
Any sound engineer with autotune should just leave it off - or maybe use Floor to calibrate it.
Loving your reactions and I agree with the comments. Pause away. We’ve heard these songs so many times. We just love seeing others enjoy and appreciate their music. I’m a sort of new Nightwish fan myself as I found them a couple of years ago and I’m still learning and loving their music🤘🏻🤘🏻
I was always impressed too in how she goes from operatic to normal voice singing with effortless perfection like you noticed. The band is so tight too! Nice reaction.
Thanks for listening!
My Queen, my life, my Floor!
She is also a voice teacher and yes she is trained. she started at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, then entering the Conservatorium Tilburg in 2002/2003.
It was almost 10 years ago in 2014, i was a 20 years old metalhead. Only information of Nightwish I had was 'They changed their original vocalist years ago'. I knew only one song of theirs, which was "She is My Sin" and that was all. Was not a fan or anything.
On that awesomely random night, This show's DVD popped up on my laptop screen and i was like "eh, why not.." I watch entire live shows once or twice a year maybe. SO YEAH, 10 years later i still remember how amazed i was listening to Floor and Nightwish. I think the best word to describe how I felt is 'enchanted'. Now it is 2023 and I still have Floor's voice on many of my daily playlists.
React to every song in the Wacken 2013 Night Wish set. One of the greatest shows ever, by any band ever!
If people want to watch uninterrupted then just watch the clip. I know for myself I watch reactors for their insights. I love how enthusiastic you are about this little journey
Keep going with Nightwish and mainly with Floor too, she just released her first solo album and it's amazing, is not metal at all but as a metal fan I've loved too. Her performance at beste zangers are just to die admiring them. Greetings and see you!
Wait for it………she is mind blowing
Yours is an empty hope……..Wembley Stadium 2015. Seven Days to the Wolves…… again with Marco…… he has left the band to parent…… can’t argue with that…… and Floor is pregnant with her second………but finishing her tour……
I highly recommend that you stick to this Wacken concert before moving on. Best sound and video quality and this concert was just perfect.
Fantastic reaction!!! Enjoying your Nightwish journey! So many amazing songs this concert- Romanticide, Song of Myself, Ghost River, and for something you would never expect in a metal song try I Want My Tears Back.

@@KatieJeanOBrien just happy that you liked the list and thank you for some good reactions 😀👏
Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band from Kitee. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen
You must react to her version (cover) of Shallow....😢😢 (at the tv show Beste Zengers).
Best version ever!
That intro makes me wonder where Michael Myers is! Floor says her "windmill" is good exercise for her neck muscles and throat- part warm-up, part stretch, part relaxation/reset. The vocal flips between head, mix, belt, chest and growl so fast and easy-LOOKING!! Yes, super impressive. "Top of her lungs to the bottom of her boots - and back!" "Ghost River" or "Seven Days To The Wolves"..soon?
The maestro behind these songs is Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboardist. Together with Floor's amazing ability to sing they just take their music above any other bands 💙🤍❤️
Yes, the Nightwish rabbit whole runs deep. The last performance with their first singer was their interpretation of Phantom of the Opera .
She wasn't feeling well but gutted it out. Marco was phenomenal.
Nice reaction. Can’t wait till you explore even more
More to come!
Phantom of the opera ft Hank Port ..
You will love it
Nice reactions so far! I hope you keep it going. More Nightwish please ^^ I wish your portrait was bigger so I could see your reaction more clearly.
Wait until she hears Marko joining in 😊
You seemed to appreciate my favorite part, the vocal riff at the end. She puts so much into that, such emotion and power.
Amazing!
Poet and the Pendulum is a Must do next!
So far you haven't heard Floor and Marco who plays the bass in these songs. He has a phenomenal voice almost as amazing as Floor's. When they do harmonies, they lift each other to new heights and it is utterly amazing.
The only thing I'd use a time machine for would be to experience this show in person.
Pause away, and dont be shy in boring down into the technicalities, we love that.
