Floor is so great you can react to the 2013 Wacken version tomorrow and no one will mind.
Yeah this is not even the best version
Many people don’t understand how tough this gig was for Floor. Nightwish fans were still loyal to Tarja, and they ran Annette out of the band. So stepping into this role was a monumental task. But this was early into the tour and she was already winning over the fans around the world.
I am assume you thought this was the Wacken 2013 performance, whereas this is from 2018.
I totally agree with you about the pressure Floor was under in the very early days after Annette left.
@@DrSkeff this is from 2012
@@DrSkeff not only was the band and floor 10/10 at wacken 2013 the camera work was perfect switching between floor and the band I thought 😁
I am still a Tarja fan, and probably I will always be… but Floor belongs in that band
That's what happens when you fire your lead singer every few albums.
Floor is an amazing singer, seeing her with Nightwish live a few years ago really convinced me of that again. Sadly the new music Nightwish started to make ever since Floor joined hasn't reached even a quater of what it once was. Not one song came close to any of the old ones and I'm not just stuck in my old ways, struggeling against the changing times. I'm just 26 years old, when Endless Forms Most Beautiful came out I barely graduated high school. They didn't just switch singers again, Nightwish has become a completely different band now. Recently I rediscovered Dark Passion Play for myself and I was blown away by how much of a masterpiece it is. Annette may have struggled with Tarja's songs live, but she was amazing in the songs written for her.
Compared to that and the Tarja albums, the new Nightwish is simple rock music with a hyper active flute every now and then. It doesn't bring any excitement or emotional depth across. What happened to the beautiful compositions that tell a story of their own? When I listen to Tuomas old work I get lost in memories of worlds I never visited. That didn't happen once in the new albums, no matter how hard I tried to give them a chance.
As far as I understand it they appear to have found a new audience that likes this simpler music, although to be honest I only hear them talk about Floor, never the music.
For me it's as if Tuomas lost his muse along the way. When I want to listen to Nightwish nowadays, I can't touch anything beyond Imaginaerum, because for as much of a legendary singer Floor is, the music is not Nightwish anymore and in my personal oppinion Floor's voice is waisted on these vocal lines.
Never heard a better female voice in my life. Floor is incredible. Amy Lee is incredible but Floor is insane.
Nancy Wilson, Amy Lee, Lizzy Hale are all remarkable - Floor stands a half step above in her own category.
Amy Lee is an excellent vocalist for sure but in my opinion Floor Jansen is better. Amy`s voice is almost a bit too clean for my liking, to the point where it lacks warmth. Floors voice does have that warmth and she's certainly more versatile.
Hello Bethany [The Vocalyst] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This song is from Buenos Aires in December 2012, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an wild Argentinian audience.
At this concert Floor Jansen was in the band for just about 2 and a half months, joining Nightwish in the middle of a world tour, in replacing the former female singer.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" 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. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist 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 "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs with links with the current lineup of the band you may like. Please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and NOT as something mandatory:

@Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or videos from this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLexzLA11Cst1G4E0D61rAnWvnDF4zIz8M.html
Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
@Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

Hey Gabriel!!! Hope you're well my friend
@@gabriel.bardac Song fantastic songs in these lists, Floors Solo versions are nothing short of spectacular as well
I concur with this play list.
Reporting in from the Argentinian branch of the NW Army!
Nightwish Army Chicago Division. Check out all the songs from Waken Live. This band is amazing. Gabriel is our General. Biggest fan I think. Enjoy your ride to the wonderful world of Nightwish
Never too late to have chills ! best band ever ...thank you North Europe 🙏 Very important band for music ITW, they are Pink Floyd of modern times. Music : what happens between the two ears
Nightwish Army Canadian Shield division reporting for duty
Great reaction! Personally, I would have recommended the official version from Wacken in 2013, which is considered one of their best performances of the song. Gabriel Bardac will most likely comment here soon with a list of recommended performances to react to, if you want to continue to explore Nightwish. He knows what he's talking about, so I would suggest following his advice. :)
Concur
Concur.
Concur.
Yep, whilst this is great, Floor was just a few weeks into the band here, at Wacken She had months to get it perfect, and boy was it perfect.
@@AlvenmodFoto It truly was.
Finally! A vocal coach that doesn't stop every 5 seconds and telling a rockstar HOW they should sing! You will find Floor is the best!
Rockstar ... Valkyrie Warrior Beautiful GODDEST !!... ;))
Welcome to the world of Floorgasms! You just awoke the Nightwish army! Loved you reaction!
This is what Symphonic Metal is all about: great composition and strong music with powerful lyrics
Your guess is correct. Floor does have classical training. I won't spoil it for you. A little research will reveal how wide of a background Floor has in music. However if you want to hear her sing classical, Floor has sung both phantom of the opera as well as o mio bambino Caro.
Floor is amazing and even more so when you consider she had only been singing with Nightwish for 10 WEEKS when this was recorded and was still officially a guest singer to complete the Imaginarum tour, of course she was asked to become a full member in 2013 along with Troy Donockley (not in this song). You have to take a look at a lot of the list Gabriel has supplied there are some outstanding performances to watch
Floor was with the band for 10 months at this taping.
So sorry, my mistake...I thought she was watching the Wacken show!
Floor's first show with Nightwish was Seattle 2012, about 9 months before Wacken. She and Troy were announced as full official members of the band in October 2013. But still, to be this good and have this sort of chemistry after only 9 months when the other members have been playing together for 16-17 years is amazing.
@@amygoodson-catlady Her first concert was October 2nd 2012 and this was recorded December 14th 2012, The Wacken Show was 10 Months after Floor Joined, this is the Buenos Aires 2012 concert
@@billtbodger Thank you!...I am aware. I hit send on the comment b4 realizing it wasn't Wacken. Whether it's weeks or months, for either show...Floor is impressive! Just the nerves alone, but to perform at the level she did... applause!!
For vocal coaches, Floor Jansen is the gift that keeps on giving. All her live performances with Nigthwish from Wacken 2013, Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015 & Buenos Aires 2018 are all fire. Then there are live performances with her previous bands After Forever & ReVamp which are also amazing and to me maybe even more versatile vocally. Then she did a TV show in her home country, the Neatherlands, called Beste Zangers where she sang covers of all styles like pop, aria, musical, etc. and more recently she recorded a solo concert from Amsterdam with killer vocal performances that she all posted for free on her UA-cam channel. And oh yeah, almost forgot she has other covers and vocal masterclasses too on her UA-cam channel. For Nigthwish just follow Gabirel Bardac's posts and you can't go wrong.
o yes the wild South Nightwish Armee from Agentina sing they are Absolut Crazy and Asome
Oh, I forgot one more. Floor herself breaks down her singing in "Ghost Love Score"
ua-cam.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/v-deo.html
Great reaction Bethany. I would still recommend watching the Wacken 2013 live performance because you get to see her after having been with the band for over a year and more confident and comfortable singing these songs. You can really tell a difference.
I recommend it too, just one correction. During Wacken 2013, Floor is with the band for 10 months only, not over a year. There is a video compilation here in YT called "the evolution of Ghost Love Score ending" or something like that. It's interesting to see and hear how she came up with it. I think this is the first performance where she actually did it the way we all love and cherish.
PLEASE
that's what floor does to you, a constant smile on your face.🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
You could consider this to be the dressrehearsal to the wacken one,as this shows the jitters she had,which are gone in the wacken one,in that one she ows it totally.
Well, the Wacken performance we've all seen isn't truly live audio. She certainly hits the notes, but that audio has been retouched so much - if not completely rerecorded in the studio - because it was produced for official release. There couldn't be any imperfections. This one sounds more like a board recording and you actually hear what she sounds like live, imperfections and all.
This 2. are great too hear why Floor is the best in the world!! NIGHTWISH - Storytime (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) and NIGHTWISH - The Poet And The Pendulum (OFFICIAL LIVE)
A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe - and please do yourself the favor to listen to the Wacken 2013 version. The audio is so much better, and Floor has refined the song significantly!!!
And please continue with this journey - you won't regret it - and you will meet The Nightwish Army, a few hundred thousand fans from all over the world, all very keen to help you the best we can. And please ask us whatever you want - some of us knows the answer.
You have opened the door to the next level in music. Deep complexed stories, wrapped in poetry and filled with quotes from poets and scientists. Music composed to enhance the story - musicians never overdoing anything or showing off - everything they do is just to enhance the story.
And Floor Jansen - you ain't seen nothing yet 😉 😂
She is unique, with breath and voice techniques, and a range and power like no one else.
And she is still evolving....
Again - welcome to the Nightwish Universe - from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘 🤘
Yeah, Floor always goes with the feel, so there'll never be two exactly same performances, but that Wacken one has to be the epitome of Ghost Love Score. Kinda bittersweet as it might never be done as perfectly again so if you weren't there, tough luck. Of course there are no BAD versions done (or to be expected) and we will always have that recording.
Five more nights and it's the first time seeing them live for me (Tampere). Slightly excited maybe... 😜
YMMV - for me this is the best possible version of the song.
it fills my heart with joy and love to read such lovely comments about this Amazing Band (Floor
Definitely a Floorgasm was had today! Welcome to Nightwish and Floor Jansen!
the last Note by Chost Love Score was an Freestyle that floor Sing by an Soundcheck and i gess this concert was the First time for Floor to sing the song in this Version of Ghost love Score
Go and listen to 2013 concert of ghost love score with 82,000 people in attendance. And follow Gabriel list at the bottom of his comments. Can't go wrong, enjoy the ride. I know you will.
Welcome to your Nightwish journey. You have just scratched the surface. Nightwish Army Denver reporting for duty.
👏👏👍Welcome to the Nightwish Army 😁❤️Nightwish and ❤️Floor !
Sooooooooooooooooo much talent on that stage! The keyboard player writes, composes and produces all their works! He is genius, they are all world class musicians.
Hi Beth, in my opinion Floor is one of the best female singers i have ever heard, any genre any song she fits the bill from rock to disney this woman is amazing.
Need to go straight to Shoemaker to hear Floor''s opera chops!
Great reaction.
Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of around four octaves +. When listening to Floor sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres, and is a Master vocal coach. She often refers to herself as a vocal nerd. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
Hello from the Netherlands .
the singer is Floor Jansen she is our 1m84cm tall Dutch valkery queen.
this itself was a bad example of a video because at this performance Florr had problems with her earplugs she couldn't hear herself or the band well.
watch the video privately or not : Ghost Love Score Live wacken 2013 this is a live and open air event with 82,000 people attending .
- for Opera Floor : Villia song Best singers 2019 before this performance hardly anyone in the Netherlands knew who Floor Jansen was .
- for Opera musical : Floor with the Dutch Phantom Henk Poort with The Phantom of the opera Best singers 2019 .

Do subscriber please please keep researching and I'll check your library. The Greatest show on Earth!
They did a show in Toronto 2 days ago and also played Ghost Love Score where she held the last note in F5 for 15 seconds 😱🤗
I only found Nightwish in June, a month after they left. I was sooo bummed I had just missed this group!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish
this version live is a 7. live at Wakken is a 10. everything is better. Production, stage, direction and most important performance. thanks for the reaction from Colorado.
Yes the wachen version is better. Also Floors chant on the stage is awesome
Also I love the parts she perfected her growl on by then, in particular the growl she adds to “adoring beast” that’s missing here. Special shout out to the parts she decides to do in chest voice rather than operatic. Here she’s still doing more Tarja version as she’s learning.
I think both are definitely comparable. And this version has something special that the second one hasn't. Emppu's out-of-body experience in 15:07.
Hello Bethany.
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
And they make Symphonic Metal.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
please do yourself the favor to listen to the Wacken 2013 version
This one has though that part that only The Vocalyst has appreciated a lot. That line end "quiet of the night" sounds incredible to me, better than in Wacken perhaps to follow more the original (?). The rest is better in Wacken, no surprises there.
Consider that at this concert she had been with the band only 11 weeks, having been flown in mid tour as an emergency replacement.
Her previous band ReVamp is a better example of her versatility. ReVamp was her band so she was free to take the music anywhere she wanted. "Disdain" ua-cam.com/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/v-deo.html. This will probably be a better example for your students, though she does let go an F-bomb at the start. ;)
@@TheVocalyst The "F" bomb happens before she starts the song, so you can just start the video after that. Floor has rarely if at all, sworn during a Nightwish video.
@@TheVocalyst So Floor started with After Forever at 16yrs young. After they broke up she formed ReVamp. She has also done a lot of work with Arjen Lucassen's musical projects (Star One & Ayreon mostly). She was on Angels of the Apocalypse by Timo Tolkki's Avalon. She made a more rock than metal album Northward with Jorn Viggo Lofstad. She was on the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers 2019 if memory serves her first 4 songs were all in a different language (Shallow, Winner & Phantom of the Opera were particularly good). She also has a UA-cam channel with clips from her recent solo show and many high quality clips made during the lockdown.
Floor was in her sisters wedding in Netherland when she got call. We are on world tour could you please learn set list and come to Seattle in 48 hours. She did it.
@@TheVocalyst her 1st band AfterForever has much better displays of her vocal talents & versatility.

Hi Bethany, welcome to the world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. I see that Gabriel has arrived here. You will get a "Cliff Notes" (well written) from him to give you a comprehensive history of the band. I also encourage you to research some into Floor's solo offerings that can be found on her own UA-cam channel. It always makes my day when I watch a professional voice teacher and singer react to GLS for the first time. Well done!
"I see that Gabriel has arrived here", ngl that cracked me up lmao, you guys are fucking heroes xD
She: "I don't know what's gonna happen"
Me: The valkyrie is gonna be unleashed 😅
Good one. people usually do the Wacken 2013 version but this one is great too and good when the crowd chant her name at the end. Try Story Time , Ever Dream, Song Of Myself etc. from Wacken 2013
I love the ending here, I get emotional for her. And Emppu with the floorgasm :)
Hi! Nightwish army Australian division. For more diversity in Floor (we call her a Valkyrie) I would suggest a couple of songs, 'Shoemaker' is a must as well as 'Romanticide'. Honestly you can't go wrong with what ever you choose. The entire band are geniuses. ** Floor also has done some amazing covers, including Phantom of the Opera that you need to see 👀
Great performance for sure! Now check out the Wacken 2013 version. THAT one I personally consider the best performance I have ever witnesses anywhere, anytime in my 55+ years on this rock!
If you want more Nightwish, check out Gabriel's list and links. Can't go wrong.
Fell in love with her presence and talent, but over the years I've watched her in countless interviews, she is even more amazing than I expected. What a woman, Mother, and Wife. Truly giving human emotions a voice, to express such pain, joy, love, anger, etc from deep within our being.
See that blond gentleman with the bass? He'll also surprise you with his voice.
Welcome to Nightwish! Floor Jansen is my favourite vocalist of all time. The lady is a machine!!!! Believe me, you've barely even started. Have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment for some good background on the band, and some ideas what to react to next. Buckle up tight, because it's going to be one hell of a ride 😉👍
Great reaction, welcome to the NW rabbit hole! You cannot go wrong with any song from the Wacken 2013 concert. Follow Gabriel's list to get your full dose of this phenomenal band and the entire vocal range and uniqueness of every song. You will not be disappointed and will be pleasantly surprised. Note they are one of the few bands that sound even better live!
please stop telling reactors to follow one persons list, they are not perfect links nor the best venue versions,a reactor should not be lead to rely solely on one person for song recommendations with such a massive fan base on YT, ALL the fans should participate with equal validity .
here from Atl, GA for what is a deep rabbit hole dive! cheers!!
You want to rewatch this from Waken 2013, in my opinion Waken is the one you need to watch for an amazing live performance and the best experience.
10:49 Dear! She has every single traning you can imagening!!! She is a GODDESS!!!!
I've watched it a thousand times and I'm still soaking it up!
A big smile the whole song!! Wonderful. Fantastic reaction. Nightwish and Floor Jansen is masterclass and beyond. Thanks for this fun reaction. ❤
Thanks, welcome to Nightwish, greetings from Colombia
those Argentinians are such a great crowd. Passionate to the bone
Floor sings everything from Opera to Pop, Musical Theatre, to Symphonic heavy metal. She also is a voice teacher and coach. This was the first show where she did the scream at the end. For your own enjoyment check out the Wacken version of this...everything is bigger! 82,000 fans, bigger presentation, and Floor was at her best....
I love how Emppu is having fun because he knows what is coming at the end... 😀
He didn't know yet, in this video. This is pretty much the show where Floor claimed the song. I think that's the first time she did "the ending."
@@velvetxwings You're right that this is the first concert she did this ending - but in the rehearsals she already did it and let the guys know that she will do it in that show for the first time.... 😉😁
@@michael.albinus I've always wondered how much she plans things out with them and how much she throws in surprises, especially when she gives the little mischievous glances. Probably a lot of planning, it's probably all part of the effect.
Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division thinking you just had your 1st FLOORGASM , Floor Jansen is the Valkyrie Queen of Metal . The General Gabriel Bardac will help guide you on the most amazing journey ever .
Version from Wacken in 2013 is even better the hole concert was amazing
This song at Wacken 2013 is probably the best version (since you said you'd listen to it few more times). Another interesting thing is that she performs the ending differently at each concert, on purpose.
Before going into flagships like Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth (when you know the band), vocally interesting Nightwish songs are Storytime and Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean.
Oh what a lovely new face at Nightwish reactions. You seem honest and competent, I like it. If you want to do more reactions to Nightwish and their singer Floor Jansen, that will make me and many others very happy - and often amaze you! Nightwish is something really special!
I never tire of watching your reaction to the greatest singer in rock music.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
trust Gabriel on this . go by his list, they are the perfect links. you have no idea the journey you are in store for, Floor can do it all, your mind will be blown, in my humble opinion she is the best vocalist on the planet.
please stop telling reactors this,they are not perfect links nor the best venue versions,a reactor should not be lead to rely solely on one person for song recommendations with such a massive fan base on YT, ALL the fans should participate with equal validity .
Welcome to Nightwish rapid hole. If you want to hear Floor uses her voice like an instrument in the band check 10th man down from Buenos Aires concert 2018. Or same concert Devil and the deep dark ocean. Other really good songs are Romanticide(You can hear Marco, the bass player sing too), Ever dream from Wacken 2013, Well to be honest pretty much any concert and any song and you find interesting things she does. Tuomas(keyboard player) founded NW back in 1996 and writes/composes 95% of their songs. Marco did help too. And had some own songs that he made. Before Floor there were Tarja Turunen who was more operatic voice, then Anette Olsson was in NW for few years. But most think that everyone gave band what they needed at the time, now we can enjoy the perfect storm of nand excellence and Floors vocals abilities.
Welcome to the most beautifull rock slash classical mix music ever lady 🌺💎💥...greatings from the Nightwish Army from Holland 🇳🇱to USA🇺🇸...and ALL of the world y'all 💎💥🕊🦁🌻.OUR NIGHTWISH ANGEL ...GABRIEL....will lead You trought the Beautifull Path .... .enyyyyyyy the Ride 🌷
Floors singing and your smile is so far my favorite combination in whole "reaction community". 😄
Hi Bethany , Nightwish Army here, German Division. Greets from Hamburg. It's awsome to see your reaction to this beautifull Band. ^^ And the singer, Floor Jansen ist really the best. Hope come more reaction from this band from you. Thx , you made my day
if you look it again take the Wacken 2013 version ......there is Floor more than there comfortilit
Nightwish army Denmark reporting in 🤘 more please
Thanks great reaction !!
Simply put, Floor is the greatest vocalist on the planet. She is untouched.
Floor Jansen the Queen of metal ❤️is a classically trained and a professional voice coach with at least 20 plus years experience and can do anything from death metal growling to high opera notes and different styles and languages, her previous bands After Forever, Northward and Revamp and she was also featured in several Ayreon performances and a Dutch reality show beste zangers in 2019 and 2021, she is married to the drummer of the band Sabaton and has her own UA-cam channel, awesome 😎 you should really check out the 2013 wacken live show same song, better quality. Thanks 😊
Greetings from The Netherlands 😍 Nightwish is from Finland but their third female vocalist is from The Netherlands. And since many years they alsoo have the englishman Troy Donockoly the multi instrumentalist.
Instant Floorgasm. Keep up the Good Work.
if you want to hear Floor put on a belting clinic I can recommend Ever Dream live at Wacken 2013.
"If there's any particular song...?" It probably impossible to find such Nightwish's song you shouldn't hear. For many years I had a problem with the bands I like. When they published new albums I usually found just few songs I liked. Things changed when I discovered Nightwish. There are maybe 3 or 4 songs from all of their songs I like less then others but I still like them. Nightwish band has genial composer and amazing instrumentalists and the best vocalist on this planet is their lead singer. Someone said they are using a cheat codes in music world. Enjoy this amazing journey. Thumb up. All the best and see you soon.
This is my second exposure to Nightwish after watching the Poet and the Pendulum reaction. I definitely want to listen to these performances many more times, along with more of their songs! Amazing!! Great reaction!
Welcome to the Nightwish's experience
There are so Many great songs and performance by the band, and the singers before Floor Jansen
I want to suggest you:
-everdream
(Wacken 2013)
And ghost love Score (same show )
You will enjoy your journey
With this awesome symphonic metal band
Floor also can growl. Her range is bloody unlimited. Food for thought XD
Something to keep in mind about this performance: Floor had a cold during this show.
Read that again.
She HAD A COLD.
And she still sang at this level.
I don't think she had cold in Buenos Aires in 2012. She had cold (or, the way I hear it, was recovering from a cold) in Buenos Aires in 2018. That's when they recorded the Decades DVD, you know, all the live videos where Floor is wearing black plate armor :)
But in 2012 she was healthy, I think. It's a stellar performance and my favorite rendition of Ghost Love Score to this day.
Floorgasm…. The vocalist smiles with her eyes. Beautiful😊
For a great example of progression. This was just one of the first times Floor singing "the note". Check out her Wacken 2013 performance. Which is about 7 months after this one. Floor is a lot more comfortable both in the band and with her changes to this song.
Well that was enjoyable to a fantastic band. More please.
I enjoyed your reaction and commentary. Nightwish with Floor is my favorite. Hope you do more. Floor had 3 years of rock training then 1 year of classical/opera/musical theater. She was also a vocal coach at one time. Check out her UA-cam channel. She did several covers for her fans during the pandemic. IMO all her covers are better than the originals. She just signed with ATA to break into the mainstream, but she will still remain as front-woman as Nightwish. She just released her first solo single called “Fire”. Floor said that "it's a pop song, so it's not metal, it's not rock, but it's definitely me." 😄🤘
Every time I see someone react to Ghost Love Score (my favourite song of all time), it's an instant subscribe
This version of GLS is on a par with, and almost identical to, the Wacken GLS. When you consider that Floor had just recently in 2012 been asked to join the tour in Seattle, and she had to learn the whole setlist in 24 hours, it is astounding she was able to perform GLS and all the rest at such a high level. And listen to that audience chanting her name at the end!!
Happy you watched the 2013 Wacken performance. You can hear a few minor flaws in her Buenos Aires performance, but the Wacken delivery is just about perfect, and it is over an hour into the set! Happy to recommend more Nightwish songs for you. They are probably my favorite ban now after discovering them in 2020 thanks to Covid. I truly enjoy your analysis, you seem very authentic, as does Floor and the amazing band Nightwish! Tuomas is an absolute genius. Not everyone appreciates this band. They perform magic on the stage. Music I never knew I needed. The story of Floors life is also beautiful what little I know of it.
Floor Jansen (Yansen) is an amazing talent and her stage presence is incredible. Thank you for this wonderful reaction. Please read Gabriel Bardac's extensive comment. He gives some band history and has links to many wonderful live performances. I can't wait to see Nightwish at the Warfield in San Fancisco on May 18th as part of their May 2022 North America Tour.
Welcome to the Army. We live DEEP within the rabbit hole. Don't worry, we'll leave a light on.
You absolutely MUST react to Nightwish singing Yours Is An Empty Hope(Wembley version).
Also Floor's phenomenal duet with Simone Simons of Epica in their songs Sancta Terra and Stabat Mater Dolorosa.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish and Floor Jansen your only scratching the tiny tip of the iceberg when it comes to the band their singers and of course Floor. Hope to see you react to more of their songs especially for the vocal techniques!
i'd suggest you watch the Waken 2013 version of the song as she had perfected it and it became her own by then, with this version she was still getting used to singing with Nightwish.
And good reaction by the way.
That's a concert in Buenos Aires, one of the best audiences ever!!!
Hi Bethany! Congratulations on your first Floor Jansen and Nightwish review! As a die-hard fan of Floor's, I certainly hope you will be encouraged by the reception you will see here and our enthusiasm with rub off on you and you will continue with many more reactions to Floor's outstanding singing.
As dedicated fans however we are in a conundrum as I still cannot figure out how reviewers wind up listening to this version of the GLS song, when virtually all of us would much more prefer reviewers listen to the Wacken version. One key reason is that the audio quality, as well as the photography, came out much better. As a rule for Nightwish, DO NOT rely on what the band calls their "Official Versions" all the time, which may be influenced by commercial or strategic considerations, vs. musical quality or fan acceptance. Gabriel's list is not bad, or go with some of the other recommendations from the "Nightwish Army".
Finally, don't forget that Floor has many fine solo performances to review. Top requests include her cover of Lady GaGa's "Shallow", her cover of Lara Fabian's "Adagio", her performance of "Phantom of the Opera" with European operatic tenor Henk Poort on "Beste Zangers". And Floor has just wrapped up singing in a German show called "Sing Meinen Song", which should have her performances available in the next few weeks or so. Floor speaks 5 languages (English, Swedish, Dutch, Finnish and German), so the "Beste Zangers" and "Sing Meinen Song" are not in English, but in Dutch and German, respectfully. But they are great shows for singers to watch, as they really showcase the brilliance and creativity of each of the singers. I'm sure you would love them! Keep well ...
The Wacken version elicits tears!
I'm sure others may have already steered you to Beste Zangers, a Dutch program where Floor performed, just amazing. Any other Nightwish offerings will truly showcase her incredible voice, she is a Valkyrie Goddess!
Floor was new in the band here. You should watch it again but chose the Wacken 2013 where she has been in the band for some months and makes it even better. Then you can react to storytime from Wacken 2013
great reaction , i would love to see your reaction on the (wacken live version) and all the other nightwish songs
Please react to Romanticide and story time live at the Waken 2013 concert.
sometimes i think when other singers can switch on and off some effect on their voice while singing, floor has adjustable sliders and she can change to a different setup from one syllable to the other or smoothly change during singing to blend in vibrato or distortion or whatever. if there was an instrument to play what floor does with her voice you'd need like 15 people to play it, i guess ^^
when you listen to ghost love score more often, take a chance and listen to the wacken version of 2013 as well :)
for more songs to react to just follow gabriels list. it's well worked out in terms of order and stuff you know. you will know who gabriel is...
and prepare for some impact, the army is real, you will see :)
enjoy the ride!
As electric and exciting as this version is, the Wacken version is even more amazing. You owe it to yourself to check that version out too. Great reaction! One of my favorites I've seen for someone new to Nightwish. I love that you got caught up in how much you appreciated what she did with "night" and other vocal color changes she was doing. That's what she does, and you've not seen anything yet! She will continue to impress with her range and how quickly she can change to suit what she wants in pretty much everything she does. She's the most amazing female singer I have ever heard. She makes me tear up on songs I have heard dozens and dozens of times, because I know I am hearing something truly special and I am amazed every time like it is the first. Let's not forget her stage presence either. She is mesmerizing.
I hope you continue to explore Nightwish and react to them. I'm subscribing because I think you're going to have an especially wonderful journey hearing more of them (there's also two singers previous to her - she was with the band for 2 months at this performance). I think you'll have a lot of great things to say and will really enjoy it. Storytime and Ever Dream are a couple of my favorites, both from Wacken 2013 (they are almost always better live, and their live performances are better than just about anyone's studio performances) but it's all amazing. Gabriel will fill you in more. :-)
wacken is a lot more polished , sound engineering wise and floor's vocal wise.
Honestly, the „first time ever“ reactions are just so nice.
