We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
would you do a reaction to Yannis Papadopoulos Vocal Cover of GLS? ua-cam.com/video/nfZxu1aQzp8/v-deo.html
the performance he did floor at the wacken .. broke all expectations !!, this of course is very good, but what he did at the wacken was extraordinary!
@@johanmelv0gue595 Absolutely!!!! Wacken version is out of this world. She hits an A flat
Two words: Steve Perry
ua-cam.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/v-deo.html its floor talking about this song herself and commenting about techniques
"I wouldn't consider myself a huge metal fan" - well that aged well :D
Haha
I know, that moment the stank face hit when listening to Lorna Shore, or when she looked like she needed a cigarette after Epica - Consign to Oblivion was confirmation that we got her:D
I’m not a huge fan either. So many just depend on screaming, this band is pure art.
@@mermaidmomma Like I tell my friends. I'm not a big fan of metal, rock, techno, or any genre. I'm just a fan of good music.
To be fair, it took her less than 23 minutes to change her mind...
3 years later and i still stop in to watch this reaction. Golden❤
Me too. I have lost count....also Julia's reaction is great
Just had a short pop up with her reaction to this which made me watch again. Floor is just killer.
Same! Back for the umpteenth time lol
The video Elizabeth made in 'Shorts' of her top metal reactions has probably encouraged many people to re-visit this initial reaction 😉
3MM views => you're not alone!
I adore this lady because she doesn´t show any sign of jealousy or envy !
The big astonished eyes, the smile of acclamation....
lovely person ! :-)
She appreciate good stuff she's a professional singer herself.
She doesn’t have to. This woman is a professional opera singer and has PIPES
She's quite accomplished herself
@@cwm8565 Floor does not sing opera except on rare occasions(Phantom with Henk Poort--two duets with EPICA's Simone Simons)
Half of my reason for following is her facial expressions 😀
So proud of Floor! I know her from the music academy, she was a classical singer and she is a sweet funny person, a bit shy, but when she sings she is THE queen. After her classical training at the music academy, she went to the Rock Academy. She is a powerhouse and a very pure charismatic sweetheart. Yes, you are right, she was classical trained before she started singing metal.
You go girl!! Dutch Power! \M/
Glad you got to know her! In my mind she really ranks as one of the greatest female voices of this time, full stop, regardless of genres.
Floor has a beautiful voice, and on stage he's great. I love it.
I also believe that Nightwish's music is the most suitable for her, and they have all benefited from this union. I also love Taria and Annette who have done great things with Nightwish, each of them marked an era in that group, but Floor remains Floor, and I hope she will continue singing for a very long time.
This is 100% cap
wow, that's so cool! Very nice to know she's a good, kind person :)
@@AP-eq6fv very! She loves animals, owns two horses and dogs, and is very sensitive. That's why she lives in the quiet forests of Sweden with her husband (drummer Sabaton and their daughter Freya) She is a very kindhearted emotional sweet woman. In class she was the quietist of all 😁
See her owning that stage now!
"Her voice has so many possibilities in it..."
Nightwish fans....."Wait for it...Wait for it..."
Ha. No doubt just wait for the floorgasm
(infomercial voice) But WAIT! There's MORE!!
I watched her get goosebumps heading into the end... you could see the exact moment it happened
Not now, hold a moment more...
At the end:
Floor: "Well, guys! Hold my beer!"
@@zurnie lol you just kill me hahahahaha
Seeing a person experiencing their first Floorgazm just never gets old.
@Blood I was at WOA 2013 to see Deep Purple, Motörhead and Rammstein. Never heard of Nightwish before.
Than Floor came along and blasted me away.
Seven years later, every now and then I still have very vivid dreams about that Gig.
@@tylerdurden3788 Hey Tyler, been there too! What do you mean with DP, did I miss something?
Congrats on your dreams, that must be nice :)
@@dustrider9306 Probably Deep Purple!
Floorgasm......LOVE IT.
However, she selected the wrong video to react on. She should have gone with the one which every reactor has been reacting.
"It's almost like there's an interlude" - Yup, this is her first symphonic metal song.
More of an Intermission! For all the band.
15:00 beginner steps of her first-ever floorgasm...15:35 shivers....15:45 extasis...15:58 "can't stop, can't stop. its too go(o)d...16:07 extasis pt2 and non-believing what just happened :D that first reaction is, over-and-over, just so damn good to watch
I love how the term floorgasm really shows itself there.
Wow great description 👏🏼
Watching professional singers floorgasming all over the place is my favourite thing to do^^
Amen to that !
Lol.
absolutely, seeing professionals giggle like they found a free candy store makes my day!
One German reactor, Tania Levy, actually expressed her urge to light up a cigarette after her Floorgasm...
Her expression said it all.. 😍
Alright .. who here has seen this video or the wacken version countless times and STILL cries?!? Unbelievable
I prefer the Wacken version.
Still gives me chills
Wacken version is much better
Also have to say the Wacken Version is much better and Floor is more powerfull there.
Seems like someone is always cutting onions nearby when I watch this performance.
2+ years ago: "I wouldn't consider myself a huge metal fan"
2022: "I just can't get enough Queensryche and Iron Maiden."
Don’t forget DIO!
+ Lorna Shore 😂
2023!
@@ericcomfort6228 dio can you hear me i am lost and so alone...
@@Babewatcherbob no
"i wouldn't consider myself a huge metal fan or metalhead [...]" AND SO IT ALL BEGAN :D
You know a singer is talented when their most popular songs are the live, unedited versions.
Unedited? Hardly. It's a professionally recorded show which has gone through a huge numbers of vocal filters and cleanups in order to be even shown like it is. So no, not unedited. It is live, sure, but that's about all. Nothing is "unedited" anymore in that respect. Even in concerts, before you hear the voice through the speakers, the mixers and filters have done their job on it first. If you want some "unedited" voice, then watch her Bloodstock concert where the mixer totally failed. Then you get to hear how she sounds like without all that technology to help her.
@@michaelvedal1907 True. In this particular case I have heard her sing at a tv program years ago without a mic (I sat in the audience), just her voice and it was very impressive. And tbf, I am not a metal fan were a woman sings. Metal is diabolical to me and a women’s voice that pure makes it angel like.
@@michaelvedal1907 Having heard,it doesn't seem like Floor's problem.
She is spectacular,the whole thing is badly mixed or something.
It's like everything was slightly out of tune.
Possibly the mix was off for her, I've seen it before.
Remember,she always has to hear what happens around her,she possibly couldn't then.
@@michaelvedal1907 I'm fairly sure it isn't huge. My hearing is certainly not to the standard of a professionally trained musician or producer, but it's not shabby. The difference between Nightwish recorded by fans and Nightwish recorded by the geniuses behind the stage is mostly quality of gear. Fans don't generally haul 6 microphones hooked to 24-bit high speed ADCs to a concert. If they do, not all of them haul them away again afterwards. But I'm not hearing significant amount of frequency tweaking.
I've listened to the Bloodstock performance. Yes, it was rougher, so yes, you're absolutely right that there is some. Short of Jukka posting exact figures here (pffft! right!), this is just debate. You probably listen to more bands in an evening than I do in a month and can tell me the difference in accoustics between stadiums, whether any of the band had been sick (it's virus heaven), how much time they had to sound check and whether any temperature/humidity change made any real difference.
All I can tell you is that this is NOT Judas Priest Live in the Recording Studio (as that album is sometimes referred to). Now that I could hear.
So true!
You know what they say, "Singers sing what they can, Floor sings what she wants."
They say that?
@@johnnywood8082 now they do
thats a good one
I don't know who says that, but it is correct
Brilliant!!!
Revisiting this 2-years on and hearing Elizabeth’s caveat that she’d never call herself a metalhead! How times change.
any voice that can give goosebumps and tears at the same time is special....
Reactor: "It's not over is it?"
All nightwish fans: "it's only just begun"
Yes. This.
I wish I could hear the song for the first time once again. If only for that part.
😂😂 my exact thought
"It's almost like there's an interlude"
Cuz there is. lol That bit was so cute.
No... but also no
one of the best floorgasms i've ever seen. and especially from someone who knows what she's talking about.
Have you seen Rebecca vocal athlete, she's on the same level. ua-cam.com/video/r68y-IoMGtk/v-deo.html
@@markschattefor6997 Yeah, i know her
@@markschattefor6997 Nah - Half Life sista's got her beat.
Thanks!
@@TheCharismaticVoice oohhh my dear you are in for a treat if you continue the Nightwish journey, something you will never comprehend. Best reaction I have seen yet. Love it!!
This has got to be the greatest fusion of genres you will ever hear in this time, The whole composition just speaks to my soul this is my music 😊 😮
She had a stomach flu the night before and slept on the bathroom floor. She wasn't even sure she could sing. She was under a Doctor's care all day. And she sang THAT.
Someone else said that’s not true for this performance.
It was in Mexico@@suzanneemerson2625
No, she was perfectly healthy here. That flu was during the same tour, but another concert.
The craziest part is, this isn't even her best performance of this song. Wacken open air was the pinnacle.
I agree, this is actually the first time I've heard her sing off-pitch in a phrase. Was this her first live performance of this or with Nightwish?
@@ZzKevZz No, but that was 1 year before Wacken, so she has perfected the song. Wacken version is pure magic !
Yeah the Wacken performance was perfection but it was cool to hear her do a few things slightly differently as she starts to make the song her own. She's absolutely incredible, I'd love to see them live.
Disagree to some extent. I've never heard her deliver the final punch with the same impact as in this performance. She absolutely blew the roof off the stadium. It was transcendent.
I'm gonna say the wacken one has even more effects on it. It almost doesn't sound live anymore. I've seen some videos of her in my country singing in this show and she sounds very different, way hoarser. Nothing against her cause she has a great voice, no doubt about it.
Early in the song....
The Charismatic Voice: "I was thinking she would have more grit or belting happening..."
Me: *starts cackling maniacally*
yeah I always do that when people say stuff like " well she has a lot of power" half way in the song :D
::giggles::
"It's not over, is it? I don't think it's over." Nightwish virgin :)
What’s truly nuts is that this performance is about 2 months after she joined Nightwish.
She’s been with the band about 2 months at this point as a not yet permanent replacement and the crowd is chanting her name. That says it all.
are you freaking serious? she joined in 2012 sure but she was already with the band for more than 2 months and was already permanent by the time the concert happened im fairly sure
@@xGoodOldSmurfehx video is from 2012. Its not wacken 2013 version.
peace be with you
xGoodOldSmurfehx I’m serious. She officially became a member around mid 2013.
TheMightyOdin about the crowd chanting her name, I'm not sure about it, but you have to consider that was an argentinian crowd. Look for argentinian crowd on youtube. There's no crowd like this (and I'm not even argentinian)
Lucas Casanova Silva I know all about the Great crowds of Argentina. It sounds like they are saying “floor” to me at the end.
"it sounds like she has the ability to be putting a lot more power out"
me: *grinch smile*
Same :D
“She wasn’t ready!”
- Kevin Hart
I can't waiting for "Yours is an Empty Hope" and/or Poet and the Pendulum"... *Grin*
LOL yeah.
having been a fan of nightwish from way back in day when Tarja was the lead vocalist, Nemo being one of my favourites from back in day, but i must say, no disrespect to previous lead vocalists, but Floor took nightwish to a whole new level in my humble opinion. And Ghost Love Score is one of the most amazing songs she's done.
Got the same exact experience! 🤙
It's so funny to watch people listening to Ghost Love Score performed by Floor for the first time. As a person sits looking at the screen, covered with goosebumps and eyes wide with surprise, and then the Floor begins to sing even more powerfully, and the person begins to squeak with pleasure. But then Floor blows up the singing even more, and the listener is absolutely dumbfounded. This is Floorgasm in it's true manifestation :)
Floor Janson could sing a German phone book and it would still be masterpiece.
German phone books are underrated anyway. Very outspoken, but still organized ;)
Neinwish?
not really, no.
I was like who the heck is Carmina Burana ? why I love this channel I lean something new every time and hear bands that blow me away. thank you to the charismatic voice and her followers.
Was drinking when I read this… flew right outta my nose. Thanks
Floor Jansen & Henk Poort "phantom of the opera" Beste Zangers 2019. I really think you are going to love it. For me is the best phantom performance ever.
Oh my GOD that one is amazing I have seen countless reactions to that one. Mind blowing ending haha and such a catchy song I have loved it for many many years.
If you want a high note... this is the song to do that 🥰
It's awesome to see how many Floor fans have recommended this Phantom duet. It's been the most up-voted and recommended piece (aside from the Wacken version). I'll be doing a first-time reaction to it soon!
THANKS!!
Phantom.
It's so good!
Love your 'Floorgasm'!
Should definatly check out the phantom of the opera version. And the wacken live version 😁
Your reaction reminds me of how i felt seeing Floor do this for the first time. She had just joined Nightwish two weeks before I went to their live show. Floor was my favorite singer from the After Forever days, and Ghost Love Score is my favorite song ever. I didn't think they'd do this song, since she had just joined the band, but when it started playing i started sobbing, SOBBING, in the audience. And when she hit the high note at the end, which Tarja never did, I knew it was the best moment of my life.
Such envy, i hate you soooo much!!! I wish i was there, i've also loved Floor since the first time i heard inimical chimera, back in the day, and while i do love Tarja's version/singing, i didn't particulary like Ghost Love Score when she was in Nightwish; Floor made this song epic. (kind of sad that nobody ever speaks of Anette, it's like everyone wants to pretend that didn't happen).
indeed
I have listened to that song a thousand times and it always give me chills. Floor is unbelievable and the band is perfect, all the musicians are perfect. just amazing
have you tried the tarja version ? the floor jansen version is also great
with Tarja everything is 1000x better
I@@agauerm I love Tarja but I went to a Tarja concert 3 months ago. Unfortunately she is not the same. She can't achieve the voice that she had 20 years ago. She can't sing nightwish songs anymore
Elizabeth: "Wasn't that like Carmina Burana?"
Me, clueless but fancy: "Yes, Carabiner Banana. Indubitably."
Hahahhh!! Nice comment, perfect!
@@francois-xavierbelanger4708 , xD
Lmfao 🤣🤣
I kid you not: right now there are posters plastered around my hometown with Carmina Burana on them and everytime I drive past I giggle and say 'oh look it's Carabiner Banana!'
Would not have given those posters a second thought without having read this comment.
But I think she's right, it's in the chorus of Carmina Burana - O Fortuna : ua-cam.com/video/zOVP7qfWMA8/v-deo.html (the first 3 min)
"to be floored"
Definition: That feeling when you hear Floor sing "Ghost Love Score" for the first time. (And every time after.)
Also known as a "Floorgasm."
this was just my first time and that was EPIC!!!!
lol
First time I heard Floor as new Nightwish singer was with my favortie Nightwish song: Ever Dream. I thought only Tarja could sing that song so beautifully, but then I heard the famous Waken 2013 concert where they presented Floor as the new singer, and now I only want Floor to sing that song forever... sorry Tarja.
I cry all the way through this, every time. She is that powerful...❤️
not only is Floor a great singer/performer, but she is also a vocal coach and instructor.
My favorite part about that ending is you can see in her face she KNOWS she nailed it.
Mine is Emppu's face (the guitar player) after that note. That smile, awesome. Floor wasn't their official singer at this stage, but that smile just says "Jup. She's a keeper". Brilliant!
@@CaptainAlbatross Yes, thank you for pointing that out! 21:13
I hope you do more Floor and/or Nightwish and not be put off by negative comments. This is a really good commentary and reaction.
++++++
I've just searched through 900+ comments, and I didn't see ANY negative ones.
@@garyballard179 true but I think it was a warning in general because some people tend to be very judgemental over Nightwish react vids.
She talks too much!
@@garyballard179 There were quite a few in the live comments when this premiered.
nothing better than seeing a person who doesnt identify as a metal lover almost dying of enjoyment from a metal song. :)
It's not really a metal song.
@@maksphoto78 it's symphonic metal by definition 🤷
Exactly!! I commented that in another video of her!
I agree
Just watched another video about this, and someone said this was #13 of a 15-song concert... and she still pulled that much energy and blew everyone away.
And it is, it is always one of the last ones on the shows. They came to Brazil recently and I thought they wouldn't play it because it wouldn't be officially filmed, but it was as perfect as this performance here. Floor is the best.
She is clearly in LOVE just like the rest of us. FLOOR JANSEN FOR EVER!!!!!!
While the 2012 Buenos Aires performance of this song is good, the 2013 Wacken performance is the best version. Floor was still fairly new with Nightwish in 2012 and had made several additional interpretive changes to this song by the time of the 2013 Wacken show. In general, Floor's interpretations of songs tends to evolve over time, and year after year she is constantly making tweaks to her approach to each song. A few performances with interesting technical aspects:
1) Nightwish - Dead Boy's Poem live from Buenos Aires 2018. ua-cam.com/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/v-deo.html
This performance really shows off Floor modifying her vocal configuration almost constantly through a song to convey the shifting emotions. Being able to shift her timbre in various ways word to word and note to note is one of the big skills she's developed since the 2012-2013 period where she tends to sing at least entire lines in a single timbre.
2) Nightwish - How's the Heart live acoustic for Planet Rock 2020. ua-cam.com/video/yYtkPpFYzOo/v-deo.html
A great choice for showing Floor using some breathier timbres and shifting from lighter to darker tone qualities. She uses a relatively lower larynx in her chestier mixed voice and belting here, and that's something she's developed in the ears since the 2012-2013 period. Also her belting in the last third is pretty special here.
3) Nightwish - Your's is an Empty Hope live on the Nightwish Cruise 2015 ua-cam.com/video/XtXqUNB8zrU/v-deo.html
This song show's off Floor's ability to do false cord growling (in the chorus the growling is *her* not Marco), as well as her using some heavy distortion in the central part. Also a decent intro to Marco Hietela, Nightwish's main male singer.
Oh, and since you're likely to be inundated with requests to react to Floor and Henk Poort doing Phantom of the Opera from Beste Zangers, I just want to point out that Floor makes some really interesting choices in her performance of that song. She uses a mixed voice in a quasi-classical configuration rather than pure head voice through all of it except the crescendo, and in the crescendo she chooses to asend in *volume* as well as pitch on each climb. It's really cool.
Thanks again for the reactions!
What a great and informed comment, thank you!
Yeah, she was still doing a bit of Tarja in this one. It's neat to see the beginnings though before she made Nightwishes vocals quite her own.
Yep
it was a mistake
Yep, Wacken 2013 is the one, much better.
I would recommend all of her Beste Zangers performances to really get a sense of her enormous range.
Face it she's a six foot one singing Valkyrie and she is one of a kind!
An Amazonian Angel, so to speak
@@djjeeveslarue3499 rule no.1 Don't compare the singers because Marco is the best
rule no.2 Floor is a Valkyrie not an Amazon there's a difference
183cm is 6'0", although in stage heels she admits to 2M
cringe 😬
@@arwestromen I didn't compare anyone. Thank you. Any Woman that is taller than me is an Amazon. I can't help I'm just below average in height. So what? Jerk.
After years on anxiety over performing live with her own band and almost house bound mentally, she got the call from Nightwish to perform this concert....She got her courage together and gave the performance of her life here....This song was her favourite and the best moment of her performing life.
Wacken 2013🤘
Not even Wacken. Somewhere in the States. It is on youtue. Wacken was like 9 months later.
years? you make her sound a basket case.... she wore herself out doing everything for the band herself, when it fell apart she had nothing to show for her efforts... it was only then she had a breakdown... mental and physical exhaustion combined with the loss of what had been the sole focus of her life for years... it didn't last years. Once she joined Nightwish her focus came back in a hurry, it was what she was born to do
@100Dwarf Seattle, mid-tour, was Floor's first gig as NW singer.
The show prior was in Colorado. NW used two singers from their opening act as emergency fill-in singers for Annette.
By the time NW had made it to Waken, Floor was NW's official singer.
@@christopherchick6419I was there at that concert. Showbox SoDo in Seattle. Let me tell you, she killed it out there. I told my friend who went with me that she was going to NW’s new full time singer.
listening to Floor Jansen is nothing but an eargasm !!!
Hello @ The Charismatic Voice! Nightwish Army incoming here, your reaction just appeared on our radar..
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in Buenos Aires in 2012. Your reaction was a beautiful surprise for me at least, hope you'll continue this ride, together with us. For that, I'll subscribe :)
Since this is your first Nightwish experience, I'll give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan:
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. 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 is a permanent addition.
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 heard 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, Decades 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 "

I thought you said short version 😂😂😂
Such an awesome and informative comment! I'm loving seeing how dedicated and passionate the Nightwish Army is. Thank you for this history, and for all of the links!
I'm definitely going to continue reacting to them, and to Floor.
@@TheCharismaticVoice I am impressed by your gracious answer. Nightwish is, for many of us, a garden with brightly colored and fragrant flowers in the middle of a dark and grey world. The passion you see in us is the passion for life itself. I look forward to your next step in this unique journey.
"It's like this perfect blend of metal and classical music!" Yes, welcome to symphonic metal. We have beautiful singers and complex instrumentals here, it's a great place to be.
Came for this comment. Was not disappointed.

Totally agree!
I honestly did not know there was a term for night wishes style. Symphonic metal.
So watching this years later again, and I realize now, Floor got Elizabeth into metal....
This is what I would imagine the angels singing would be like
This lovely coach seems very satisfied with the performance. Wish there were a word for it.. But listen up people. Don't ask her to do the most hardcore songs right away. Go easy on her.
Yes I know what you mean, but I want to know what see makes of the ending of romanticide :)
"Wish there were a word for it"... There is. She had a Floorgasm.

@@Carrinthe Yes I totally agree, Not many people actually hear both voices which is a shame. I am chilled every time. I think I have only seen 2 people catch it. the latest one is Sonny Von Cleveland's reaction. He hears it and reacts. So we will see if this this nice lady hears it. I hope she does.
You are right but I really, really want to hear her do The Poet and the Pendulum.
I'm intrigued.
That whole vocal section at the end you played through a second time was something Floor added to the song herself. The original vocalist would have made a dramatic exuent right before that point and let the prerecorded choir take over. If i'm not mistaken, the audience was chanting "Floor! Floor! Floor!" at the end. They just witnessed an incredible rebirth of the band happen right before their eyes.
Ah, very interesting to know that Floor added that part herself! Thanks. :-)
I heard from someone who attended the Wacken 2013 show that many people in the audience bowed for her after that last high note.
I think this might have been the 5th time Floor performed this song live. There's more about that in the documentary "Nightwish - Please learn the setlist in 48 hours". Bootleg here: ua-cam.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/v-deo.html
The epic Wacken performance was much later: ua-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/v-deo.html
She is just a Goddess. There literally is no comparison. I am blown away literally every time I listen to her take off.
I was there in that exact moment and it was a blast seeing Floor and Nightwish together! :D
You lucky bugger, I'm so jealous!
Oh you are so lucky!
Still loving this in 2023
00:17 "...I wouldn't consider my self a huge metal fan or a metal head..."
16:09 *converted*
Derek Charette not sure I agree on the best form of music there is. Don’t get me wrong I like some of it but I love electronic music as well from the likes of Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis which for me is just as good although totally different.
@Derek Charette Let's just say that metal is better and more multifaceted than it's reputation :D
Dwelling in those absolutes will in the worst case restrict yourself from equaly good expiriences.
buerger3 exactly. I was never into metal at all as I wrongly assumed it was screaming shouting type stuff. Then by chance I discovered Iron Maiden and that opened the door somewhat. Soon after I took a punt on Ghost Love Score from Wacken. The rest as they say is history.
@Derek Charette , dude, check Elizabeth Zharoff's background before classifying her like normal people.
i'm pretty sure the "conversion happened at 7:37 . . .
"This Woman, this Diva, this Creature ... she is so amazing."
Name it, mortal ... she is a goddess.
She is the best period!
Eh... live for 10,000 years first I may start calling you a goddess... but even then serpents live that long too. Y'all save goddess for when it is appropriate... cheapening the word.
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Warrior Queen of the Valkyries, Snatcher of Souls, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign.
2024 and still epic........props to the orchestra, the band and the chorus ( or choir ) singers for adding to Floor's amazing vocals.....symphonic metal at its best🤟this is a truly difficult composition and score to perform........... so many key changes 🎶 thank you Nightwish and Floor...........
LOL chanting “Floor” before the song even ended. We’re talking about one of the best vocalists ever, wowza.
A genuine pleasure to listen to someone who knows their stuff. You'll read a lot of comments about "wrong concert" and it's in part about the Wacken Open Air concert being such a show, but also because Floor had only been with the band a few weeks at this point. She's still feeling her way with the music. She joined the band in mid tour when Nightwish had a falling out with their lead singer. She flew over from the Netherlands to Seattle, WA with 48 hours to learn the setlist.
So imagine, you didn't get the full Floor effect.
I would like you to listen to "Shoemaker" on their latest album. There's no chance of getting an unpopular version as there's only one. The song is about Eugene Shoemaker, NASA planetary scientist, whose ashes are scattered on the moon in a crater named after him. his urn contained an inscription from Romeo & Juliet. You need that information to make sense of the lyrics. ua-cam.com/video/Rjp_DfvJimg/v-deo.html
Floor can go from death growls to opera and everything in between. "Shoemaker" is a very technical rendition by Floor that I think you'll appreciate. Her rendition on the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers, of the Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort (former Phantom) would also be well worth the listen. ua-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/v-deo.html
(UA-cam seems to be having trouble with paragraphs today.)
I really like your comment and I agree. Shoemaker is such an amazing song. All the songs from the new Nightwish album are great. It became one of my all-time favourite albums.
I can also relate to that UA-cam paragraph problem... :-) If you used paragraphs, then they appeared as double or triple paragraphs or had even more spaces than that. Now it seems that UA-cam has them sometimes correct the first time but if you even think about correcting a small mistake then all the paragraphs get suddenly lost. If you try to fix that, then some random paragraph appears here and there. English isn't my native language so I often have to correct some words... UA-cam then punishes me for that, which is nice :-)
Yes, please go back and listen to the Wacken Open Air version. Fantastic !
Yes, that! ☝️
@@katrinehegglund746 cant beat Wacken... wish I was at that one.
Falling out with old singer lol, more like fired for being pregnant. How they’ve treated their past singers is kinda despicable. Floor is a good singer but not the biggest fan of her interpretations of older Tarja songs.
Has first Floograsm "that was satisfying"
Straight back for another!
As a professional, you may appreciate the fact that this was not the opening song of their set. it was the 13th of 15 songs for that show, they had been performing an hour already.
multiple Floorgasms, they also exist.
People in that concert truly witnessed a miracle.
I love how in the beginning the guitar player is standing there like "yeah you know what's coming"
and near the end he has this huge smile on his face and he's like "told you it would be good!"
You: "Can't stop, can't stop, it's too good..."
Me: YES, you are wise.
Lol thts what she said
when she hits that last long note watch Empuu the guitarist just starts laughing like omg did she really just do that
That scene alone made this my favorite live version of GLS, seeing that even the band enjoys the song more than EVER!
Yeah, I always notice that, too. It's like "Yeaaaaah, she did it!" He might be having a floorgasm of his own there haha
It’s so fun watching older reactions again. “I’m not much of a metal fan” to “I’m in studio with the biggest metalcore singer of the decade”. “I’m gonna rewind and listen to this again if that’s okay” to “we’re gonna listen to this 3 more times because it’s insane so buckle up”. I’ve loved your progression, both as a channel and personally
I get chills everytime I listen to Floor Jansen sing this song.
Nightwish had so far 3 singers: Tarja (classically trained singer, the original vocalist of this song), Anette (Pop singer background) and Floor (Rock, metal and classical training). I was wondering if you'll be interested in analyzing how nightwish three differente singers approached this song. I think it would be an interesting watch!
I count 5. Have you not heard of Marco? or Troy? .....🧐
@@FullTexanEffect Or Tuomas on Angels fall first (listen to once upon a troubadour, my absolute favorite nightwish song)
@@asshole9191 I guess we should also add in Alissa White-Gluz and Elize Ryd as well....🤔
Yeah I would love to see a video on Tarja even sans comparison (but the comparison would probably be cool)
Tarja >>>>> the rest..
One of the best reactions to this song I've seen, and I've seen a LOT!
Thank you!
I agree :)
Here here
Same here
“I’m not particularly ametal head
Well she is one of us now mwahahahah
Oh how people don’t realise what they are missing. People really have no idea the variety that is in metal . I’m so glad you found us now you see the beauty in our darkness
Nightwishes sound tech deserves a raise...
"I can't stop it's too good"
She's beginning to believe
I'm surprised she didn't go for a smoke after that lol.
+1 for an inadvertent Matrix reference.
Love the part at 4:50 when Tuomas smiles and raise's his eyebrows at Marco, Floor had only just joined the band temporally to finish this tour off and given 48 hours to learn the whole set, she nailed every song and Tuomas's reaction was basically telling the group "She's a keeper", little did they know they had not seen anything of her vocal capability's, If it can be sung Floor can sing it and with perfection.
Also Emppu at 16:04 like "F*** yes, we got a freakin' godess on stage and we know it!"
If that's from the Latin American tour she had already been with the band for 2 months. Still, it was a really great performance for so little practice.
There’s no way you could possibly know what some raised eyebrows and a smile was meant to convey, for God’s sake🙄 Your comment sounds like bad fanfiction.
I'm pretty sure they have seen plenty of her vocal capabilities, it isn't like Floor was a total stranger to the scene before Nightwish or that Tuomas didn't know about After Forever.
Of course Nightwish knew about Floor's capabilities when they asked her to join the band, but I totally agree with you about what you said about Tuomas' facial expression. Floor's first concerts were not perfect, good enough to convince the audiences though. But here the facial expressions of Tuomas really tell he knew how good Floor really is. That Nightwish is going to do wonders with her as the female lead vocalist.
Hi from Helsinki Finland!
No other singer moves me emotionally so much as Floor does. There are many songs, like this one for example, that make me cry and have shivers all over. She is just the best. I love that woman.
I have to idea how many times I have seen this performance, and it never fails: Be that just the performance or a reaction to the performance, Floor always has me crying during that build-up.
👍
👍
If you want to see young Floor please listen to her band After Forever 2007 "Dreamflight" live at Progpower.
You won't be disappointed.
fun fact. metalheads and classical fans share the most taste in-common
Yes their were both about innovation
@@aaronrumph3291 And technical skill. These aren't genres you can phone in. If you're going to perform them, you have to really do them well, or you'll get called on it.
classical is metal without electricity.....
I'm a pianist with a love for classical music. There is nothing better than metal.
i m pretty sure there has been some research done on it. and bout the similarities of the genres, thus their respective fans' also. like how they both are theatrical, the fans know their shit etc
13:55 "I love capes"
Edna Mode has left the chat.
Omg I'm dying
NO CAPES >:(
@@bronysaiyan5236 Capes YES!!! 😋
Lord Vader has entered the chat. :)
🤣Omg
There's a shot of emppu in late 2012, when she juuuust joined and they started playing this. His smile when she reaches the crescendo is the facial expression of a man who has come out of the sinai desert after 40 years. I know it's been years since you did this, but i wholeheartedly encourage you to let yourself be sentimental and revisit this personally for what it is as a piece of art and how far you've profressed.
She make me cry each Time i hear this song ❤
Carismatic Voice: “That was so satisfying”
Floor: Yes!
And your reaction at the final notes... we call it “floorgasm”.
The wery specific term thats now established some 7 years for this feeling... :)
Loooooove this term!! :-D
@@TheCharismaticVoice A friend of mine was at this concert (wacken open air 2013) i can imagine how everyone there must've felt O.O
Who was that came with the term Floorgasm ? He/She should be mentioned in the all-time dictionary.
@@monsterhunterrivi6303 Like on any show where Floor is involved. :D
I remember my first Floorgasm as it was yesterday. It was back in 2007 when she was a part of After Forever. I saw her multiple times with Nightwish and I saw her with Ayreon. And Damn! I know she is something but I'm completely overwhelmed every single time.
My new favourite type of youtube video is people hearing Nightwish for the first time.
And I wonder how many are faking that to get views from ignorant fans.
Ive never heard of Nightwish until a month ago. While I personally have no interest in this band, Floor is pretty awesome. Absolutely beautiful voice and she is a power house.
@@mattsbrute Check "Northward", Floor's rock band.
Literally what I've been doing for the past few days. 😅
it's true..
Old video I stumbled across, don’t know what I like more, Floor Jensens magical voice or your enthusiasm!
Well done!!💪💪
This is the song that made me fall in love with Nightwish. As a classically trained violinist, I discovered symphonic metal about 10 years ago and have been devoted to the genre ever since. Glad you are loving this as much as we do!!!
I really loved your reaction, Elizabeth. You are very expressive and present.
Floor Jansen is no diva. In fact, she is a very humble and lovely person in all interviews, while she is a Valkyrie on stage. You are correct, she is not only classically trained, she is also a vocal coach herself. Her singing range and technical versatility is very impressive, and Tuomas, the band's keyboard player and composer really managed to push her and the each member's talents to the limit. I guarantee you will be surprised with each and every new Nightwish song you discover.
It is a beauty of a person. It has an angel voice. Always beautiful produced for the stage or in the corner of the house. Monumental voice. However, she is super humble and friendly. So much perfection in one person.
Floor's UA-cam channel (Floor Jansen) shows her in real life. She is a beautiful person.....Inside and Out.....💛
@@cinderellsworth And that is why we love her.. ❤️...
Facts:
- She has also been a vocal coach.
- Shes the third singer, to sing this song in the band, meaning she has to sing someone elses version, making it her own.
- Nightwish is known to be storytellers.
- Your smile is gorgeous, mesmerizing and heart shattering :O
I Agree 100%
Agreed
And the medical problems she had to overcome when she was first asked to join makes her that much more of a Goddess!!
Was thinking the same!
Geez she's stunning :)
Imaginearum was a great movie.
I can imagine her as the warrior queen leading a massive army with just her voice. Just stirring the hearts of a whole army and they all charging onward as she lets out that last, long, magnificent note! Thank you, imagination
I feel like I’ve been living under a rock! I am absolutely floored!!!
heheh floored
Great reaction and.. now for the obligatory "warning" you've just rang "the dinner bell at the dining halls of Asgard" as this react will summon the Nightwish Army.
So prepare for a LOT of Floor Jansen/Nightwish requests and you'll be directed to "Beste Zangers" "de 10e van Thijl" "After Forever" "ReVamp" and "Ayreon".(ao)
"Beste Zangers" will pop up a lot as it showcases her skills outside the metal scene and after listening to what she did there, her actual range will become clear.
Anyway, whatever reacts to Floor you get into, she will constantly blow your mind, and she'll give you "Floorgasms" each and every time ;) (welcome to the club lol)
Thnx for the react :D
Revamp++ Epica ft Floor Jansen - Sancta Terra to be precise :-)
She has summoned our Queen! We must be here to witness

reporting for duty !!!!!....for Asgaaaaard!!!!
Ghost love score is one of the older songs of nightwish they could not play for some while after Tarja left because it was just to demanding for Anette. I literally cried when I first heard Floor singing it after such a long break. So amazing.
I cried evertime I heard this live. And many times on recordings. Tarja and Floor both rocked this song.
But Anette also *did* sing Ghost Love Score live. I was there. And I cried - but not of joy, like with Tarja or Floor but because I thought I can't stand another Nightwish concert with Anette butchering my all time favorite song. I didn't know then, that this was Anettes last tour with Nightwish.
Though Anette seemed to be a nice person and I felt a bit bad for her personally, I was relieved to no end when I heard that Floor was taking her spot.
@@Bitfire31337 I only liked Nightwish technically with Tarja, I preferred Annette's more emotional voice to her very clinical one, but yeah, she couldn't do all of them. But Floor has the best points of both. I actually saw Floor perform with Nightwish when she was at FMVF with Revamp and she wasn't in it yet.
i remember the first time I went to a Nightwish concert with Floor - back in 2015. I was pretty sceptical cos I absolutely LOVED the old songs with Tarja. Then, they started Ghost Love Score. And THEN, my friend and I looked at each other, mouths hanging open, and I think he said something to the effect of "is ... is she just out-Tarjaing Tarja???" And that was that. Still love the old songs with Tarja but I have to admit I like Floor's voice better.
Floor nailed them actually
third time is a charm she was the singer this band needec
Im a grown man and this song brought tears to my eyes. Incredible
You can see her fall in love with Floor's voice. Pupils blown wide. Hers is a voice you could get altered on.
Try her rock version of the Vilja lied in Beste Zangers, since you're an opera singer it could be an interesting reaction..
I agree 100%! And any song she sings from the show Beste Zangers will show her versatility and emotion!
Yes I second that!!! Please react to this song!!
Yeah, totally agree with u guys, and id like to add to beste zangers pile the version of phanton of the opere were Floor sings with Henk Poort.
I still get goosebumps just thinking about this show.
Floor is really the Beste Zangeres ❤️❤️❤️
Floor was part of the Dutch tv show called "Beste Zangers" (Best Singers) last year. Each episode one singer is in the hotseat and the other singers sing a song which they either sung themselves or has special meaning to them. You can find the playlist in the right order at ua-cam.com/play/PLdqO9-8PsDBS52DDwZVaDTrptJxjnCPYA.html
a great playlist
@@jkeep1968 Oh yes that's the way to go if she wants to react to more of Floor!!!! Love it!
@@sarakaster I second the Beste Zangers playlist. She blows away her fellow Dutch singers most of them did not know her or what she was capable of.
You have to hear her do Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort. It's so good it can make you cry. ua-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/v-deo.html
Floor's performances on Beste Zangers were amazing. It's a definite must watch.

"If it's ok with you I would like to go back to that last part"
Honey, how many times do you think we all have gone back to that last part? 😂
It was very cool to see you thouroughly enjoy every bit of this performance! Thanks for this video. Great reaction!!
It's probably one of the most "Holly S**T, I need to listen to this again" moment on UA-cam !
It's called a floorgasm is what you just had
This woman did not just have one floorgasm but multiple. Love it.
I noticed that too! She had at least 5 mini Floorgasms before the grand finale. It was awesome!
Why aren't artists/bands like this more well known? The world is fucked!!
Talk about having your cake and eating it, too! Floor is stunning! Great analysis!

@@dracso6058 not sure why this is important but here let me teach you en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphonic_metal
As some people are sad you didn't choose the Waken 2013 performance to react to, let me just say that it's not all bad - the Waken performance does some things a little better, but this one has the best audience you could hope for - the atmosphere in the room comes through, and I love the bit with the crowd singing/chanting/humming? along with the guitar bit. So there's a lot to be said for this version too.
I fact I prefer her more delicate singing of this version.
@@fioddorsuperconcentrado2492 I think in overall i do like the wacken version a little better, but i also kinda like how the band acts in this one. It's still rather new to perform together with her and i feel like they all are a bit in awe themselves how well it works. Wacken seems... i wouldn't say unpersonal, that's way too much, but a bit more professional and routined which isn't the worst, but the awe is lost.
Fioddor Superconcentrado I like Empuu’s own Floorgasm on this one (seems like first time she really truly hit that last part more perfectly and he’s like a kid in a candy store). I too like certain aspects of this performance better than Wacken but ..I mean...you can’t go wrong with either.
I do prefer Wacken, it's a cleaner recording and she does sing it even more effortlessly. But this is also an epic performance and this reaction wouldn't have been different. I do like the live vibe. The Wacken one is so clean it's almost make you think that's just the clip.
Seriously folks? Are we really doing the Wacken vs. BA thing here?
Holy shit! I don’t know what to say really but, between watching your reaction and seeing Floor and hearing the most beautiful voice I may have ever heard, for the first time…holy shit. Much love to you for this video!! I am glad I saw her first on this channel!!❤❤
