    Yes, Tarja is and always will be the goddess of symphonic metal. She is just perfect.
    Please don't get stuck with Tarja in Nightwish, react to her solo work. She has amazing songs that show all her versatility

  •  Рік тому +49

    Don't be ashamed of having a favourite. I always say that Tarja was the one angel that put Nightwish on the Symphonic Metal scene. The next evolution of Nightwish and Tuomas composing was when Anette joined the band. Both singers was magical in their own way and crucial for the evolution of Nightwish. When Floor took over from Anette the final era of Nightwish was a fact. Floor is also my favourite for her magical way of connecting with the audience and also making the band look so happy together again.
    To sum it up - no need to compare singers, just enjoy each era.

      Bullshit written above, Holopainen wrote music as it was inspiration. What kind of nonsense are you talking about that he composed music for someone or under someone’s voice, he just composed music, and whoever had the ability sang these songs, for example Tarja whined when recording the album, that you have to take too high notes, Annette is generally hard case, even I can cover their entire repertoire, of course it will not be opera vocals or classical vocals, but those who hear it never hears others will be able to say with the same degree of rightness that these songs were written for me (complete crap of course)

    It's really funny that you say Tarja didn't fit in the band. It can be seen that you know nothing more about the formation of the band or about symphonic metal.. Tuomas came to her house and asked her to sing his demo. What he didn't know was that in the meantime she had started studying classical music and her voice had become dramatic. Tuomas wanted an acoustic band. Nightwish chose to be a heavy metal band to support her strong voice. It was only thanks to her and Tuomas's decision that the symphonic metal subgenre was born. Tarja was the first voice. Floor undeniably keeps Nightwish afloat with her personality and talent, otherwise the ship would have sunk long ago. But Tarja is the mother of symphonic metal. Thank God she is no longer with them on that sinking ship.
    So, how could Tarja not fit into a symphonic metal band, a genre she helped create? And if you conclude from the comments under Floor's videos that she is the goddess for all, then you are quite naive. Nightwish had three female singers and each of them has its own fan base.

      I always prefer Tarja with the slower vocal songs. Not necessarily slower songs but the ones where her vocals have time to breathe as it works much better for her classical style. It is always personal preference, I'm not bothered by accent at all more so by the timing of the vocals. Deep Silent complete, Come Cover Me, Forever Yours etc are the ones that I think Tarja nails.

    Love Tarja. But fair warning. Judging her on one song when she was constrained by the band members to only do that which they all agreed to. Her solo career is so vast and diverse. A 3.5 octave range. A lyrical mezzo soprano who can belt up to Db6 but has developed that deep warm round chest voice.
    She was s founder of the band with Emppu and Tuomas. They knew her from high school and reached out to her to form a band. There was no such genre as symphonic metal back then just a few people experimenting. They helped create the genre,there was no roadmap. No ear pieces to feed the sound back to you so you could hear what the audience was hearing. She just had to sing over the instruments. Technology has come a long way in 18 years since this was recorded.
    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarja_Turunen 25 years summed up here. She reinvented herself several times. The span of styles,genres she has turned her hand too is breathtaking. Still rocking it at 45 now. Amazing lady.

    Every song from the 2013 Wacken performance was written for one of the other singers. Floor had joined the band about 10 months before that concert as an emergency replacement singer for Annette. (See the video... Please learn the Setlist in 48 hours).
    Elan was on the setlist at Wacken and the video is available.
    Another interesting thing to consider is that most people at the 2013 Wacken show had never seen or heard Nightwish with Floor as the singer. When she came out to their first song of the concert, Dark Chest of Wonders, she was introducing herself to 82,000 fans.

    Tarja, another kind of metal goddess :) Our dark angel of music, beautifully melancholic and romantic. Her classical sound is what created Nightwish as we know it today in the first place, Tuomas meant for Nightwish to be an acoustic campfire music-like project, but when he heard Tarja sing he decided the music needed to be grander to fit her voice and that's how they shaped the entire genre of Symphonic Metal.
    I do think it's fair to say Floor suits the band better but Nightwish has never sounded more magical to me than when Tarja was still with the band ❣

    The first wave of classical or classical-ish female vox in the lead role in metal bands actually came in Norway in the 1990's:
    * The Third And The Mortal -- with Kari Rueslåtten (pronounced REW-eh-SLOH-ten) on vocals for the first EP and first LP in 1993 and 1994 respectively, making it the first time this combo had been done as a permanent feature of a metal band. Their debut LP was actually the inspiration for the formation of Nightwish in 1996.
    * Theatre Of Tragedy -- with Liv Kristine on vox for most of their tenure, the initial albums had most of the music set up as small plays between her and a male growler. Somewhat similar to Epica today, but doom metal instead of symphonic metal.
    * Tristania -- with Vibeke Stene on vox for most of their existence. Much, much heavier than the other bands, combined with a male growler.
    * Sins Of Thy Beloved -- with Anita Auglend on vocals for most of their existence.
    * Dismal Euphony -- with Linn Achre Tveit as the initial female vocalists.
    Interestingly, four out of these five -- all but the first one -- were from around the same city, Stavanger.
    Besides, Therion, who are Swedish, there is also another Swedish band, Draconian. Therion I believe started before The Third And The Mortal, but didn't do the classical-inspired female thing initially. Draconian started in 1996, but their female vocals are more contemporary in style.
    The Dutch band The Gathering also started out early, but I believe their first singer was male, and besides their most well-known female vocalist, Anneke van Giersbergen, again uses contemporary vocal styles.

    Dave and Ash. I don't know how familiar ya'll are with Epica or remember if Ash liked listening to Jinjer. I used to hate death metal growling/screaming in music. When I started listening to Epica I learned to respect it. Then I started to not mind it so much. Now I love it if in the same song there's the "normal" singing parts like the way Jinjer does. My first time listening to Jinjer I hated the sound. Now I'm a fan.
    A couple of good songs to get you started with Epica are from the Omega Alive streaming show they did during covid.
    Skeleton Key and Unchained Utopia
    From their Retrospect concert there is Sancta Terra where Floor makes a guest appearance.
    If Ash doesn't like growling/screaming Epica might be a good band to ease her into it. You have the contrast of Mark's growling against Simone's beautiful soprano.

    The thing with Tarja and Floor is that they really don't need the mic... They got unbelievable power in their voice and Nightwish is or was very different from basically everyone else with the fact that they didn't stop playing to make space for the vocalist... Vocalist has had the chops to take her space no matter what the band is doing. And this is where Annette failed quite badly and this is why the albums done with her are more conventional... And this is why there are no official lives off of her era on the older songs. She just couldn't pull them off like Tarja and Floor can... These two are just built different! Very rare talents and it is quite fortunate they found Floor. We wouldn't have Nightwish today if they had not hit it out of the park with the third vocalist.

[making sure it's not Floor this time] what they'd call her..?" / "She's called Tarja" [Dave not quite sensing Ash is still in Floor-mode, so he simply mentions the name of NW songster Nr1].
    Great stuff (and ditto reaction all around btw) which reminded me of the other two you did, i.e. the "Phantom" with Floor & Henk & the miscommunication in that one followed by an in depth analysis of it at the start of your GLS Wacken 2013 reaction.

    Tarja, our dark queen 🤟🖤. My the most favorite voice and Nightwish era. I saw Tarja last week at a concert after dark in a big rock festival. Her charisma, energy and voice...I was absolutely amazed.
    Nemo is not my favorite song with her voice. This song was made as a radio hit and is too mainstream for me. I love her more now in her solo career than when she was in Nightwish. But Tarja + Nightwish was pure magic. Floor is great, but it's not the same anymore. Tarja is unique. Her voice brought me to metal.
    Floor can sing classically, but not like Tarja, who studied classical singing in Finland and Germany. Tarja is a master of her craft and sings classical concerts around Europe. But Floor has a more trained chest voice and rock vocals more than Tarja. To say that Floor can do the same as Tarja and more is far from the truth and if you listen to Tarja's stuff and Floor's stuff, you can see the difference. Each of them is exceptional in a different way.
    I love you Tarja Turunen and I miss you so much in Nightwish but don't come back. You seem happier now than you ever were with them and you really shine on stage.

    Together with Tarja, Nightwish were a unique band that created a new subgenre of metal. Tarja had it all: voice, style, charisma. Thanks to her voice, Tuomas decided to make the band a heavy metal band and not an acoustic one. She got them to the top. She was with them for 9 years. Then the egomaniac Tuomas decided to fire her because she afforded herself to have her own needs too. She showed more character and courage in her departure than rest of the band. Marko has gotten wiser with age, he also recently left the band and apologized to Tarja for everything they did to her in 2005.
    Without Tarja, there would be no Nigtwish band for Floor to sing in. Now Nightwish is an ordinary dying band, if they didn't have songs from Tarja's era, they would be dead already. Floor, was excellent before she came to NW, but they were unable to use her abilities on any studio album.
    Fortunately, we still have our Finnish Diva Tarja here, who not only broke out of the shadow of Nightwish, but even recently surpassed them in terms of the quality of her music.
    Live long, queen. For me you are the one and only forever, whether you sing rock, classical or electronic music, your voice is a gift from God. And you are a gift to us all, beautiful inside and out.

    Very good reaction. Giving your opinion with respect, not putting anyone down. I think it's good to have two people reacting together sharing their opinion with each other and us watching your reaction. I suggest you watch the Official Video of Nemo with Tarja, on your own. I think her vocals in that one are the least operatic ever. I am not a big fan of opera vocals because of the excessive use of vibrato.
    An American female opera singer of younger generation, who reacted to several Nightwish videos, said that some hard core opera fans hate singers who sing long straight notes. They want to hear a lot of vibrato. Many people think high notes as such are opera or operatic. But that's not the case, not without a lot of vibrato. This is my layman opinion.
    There is a thing called forced or compulsive vibrato. Some singers can not sing a long straight note. They need to see a good vocal coach for help. There's a Finnish popular music singer who sometimes sounds like a lamb with, what I believe, is her compulsive vibrato.

    Keep in mind, in many countries/languages, the letter J is pronounced as a Y, so Tarja = Tarya. In the same vein, Jansen is pronounced Yansen.

    Definitely more Ash! I really like how open minded you both are. There are videos of Nemo with Nightwish and Floor from Wacken 2013 and Hellfest last year, along with an acoustic version (just Floor and Troy) from Planet Rock radio and I remember seeing a version from Floor's recent solo shows. Either of the first two are the best comparison with what you've just seen with Tarja.

    Hi, Ash and Dave I can't disagree with you both on Nightwish. It's good to see or listen to the two earlier singers, for myself it helps to understand their history I've got some of the early albums, which I absolutely love, all three women have talent but Floor makers Nightwish more complete, for me. Any Nightwish after 2013 will be good to look at. It's good to see Ash and you together. Thank you both.

      golden era was 2012 - 2018 unfortunately without Marco they have lost a lot. Easy to replace the bass, next to impossible to replace that vocal! Troy is fine but Marco he is not and a lot of my favourite songs involved Marco and are either never to be heard again live or far weaker without him. Wouldn't stop me from seeing them live in person but I cannot watch them on youtube as they are missing a chunk of the magic! I cringe when Floor is singing Marco lines or worse when Troy is trying to belt as it is not his strength at all 😢

    I like Tarja had songs that suited her like "Wishmaster" and "Nightquest". Anette had "Scaretale". Floor is versatile and fits many songs. Floor sang "Nemo" at Wacken 2013. Also, you should check out the duet with Tarja and Within Temptation ("Paradise"). Also check out Tarja's "Undertaker" and "Innocence" (best in the video). You might want to show Ash In The Moment's top songs also. Lastly, "Sancta Terra" with Epica ft. Floor.

    Great reaction! There are so many great versions of this song. The original music video (probably my favorite), this live perfromance, Floor at Wacken in 2013, acoustic version from Planet Rock with just Floor and Troy, a completely different stripped down intimate version from Floor's solo show in Amsterdam (another favorite of mine, available on her YT channel), and her amazing performance at Hellfest last summer where she holds an F5 belt for over 12 seconds. Mostly what this shows is the genius of Tuomas's writing. That this song is so good in all these different forms. I really enjoy Tarja's voice and in some songs I prefer it to Floor's (Planet Hell, The Siren). Others I prefer Floor's (her Ghost Love Score is so much better then Taja's in my opinion). Others I like them equally (like this one, Sleeping Sun). Unfortunately you will see some old Nightwish fans in the comments who never got over the band firing Tarja and feel the need to tear down any version of Nightwish other then with her. This was her final performance with Nightwish. They handed her the open letter right after this show firing her. Lots of fans turned on the band for firing her and that drove Tuomas into a deep depression. He wrote the masterpiece, Poet and the Pendulum, as a way of dealing with his depression. I have learned to treat the whole Tarja/Nightwish break up dust up like my parent's divorce. I love them both and whatever happened between them is their problem and doesn't change my love for both of them. The whole Tarja vs Floor think is dumb and in fact Tarja and Floor are friends and have performed together.

  • @tamashii6670
    @tamashii6670 Рік тому +1

    If you want to know how Tarja really singing, I recommend react to something from her solo career, in rock/metal songs you can hear different techniques she using, not only such classical vocals, and in classical songs you can hear that she is definitely classically and operatically trained, if not Nightwish she could be one of the best opera singers, but she chose Nightwish, as first woman in such band, because of her vocal now we have so many metal bands with female vocalists, so we should be grateful. :) And because of powerful Tarja's voice Nightwish is symphonic metal band, at first it was acoustic band, so... ;) Oh, she also has electro project called Outlanders. She fits to so many music genres, and she is not only incredible singer, but also songwriter, composer, arranger, and pianist too, just amazing woman. :)

    Tarja fans also call her a goddess. She is an opera diva and dressed accordingly at the time. She wants to be a lady. Floor is quick to make an appearance at Nightwish in clothing inspired by fantasy and the Middle Ages. She adapts the sound of film music and folk in the music of Tuomas. With the growing popularity of the Wacken video, she becomes a Valkyrie. Anyone who has experienced her as a concert visitor will find her a little gentler.
    End of an Era was the last concert with Tarja, 2005. Right after that she was fired. Hence the title of the DVD. Nemo was the commercial breakthrough in 2004 and made it into mainstream radio in Europe. It is the most successful Nightwish single ever. It is also the most played song at concerts and is still a staple today. Nemo and Ghost Love Score are both off the album Once.
    The next Nightwish concert can last. In early 2024 they will release their tenth album without a subsequent tour. In the best case, there will be a new album and tour in 2025. But that could also take until 2026 or 2027. The band have not said anything about any plans beyond 2024.
    The sound has changed over the years. It has been adapted to modern tastes, much to the annoyance of 2000s fans. I sometimes feel like I'm on a merry-go-round with the cast. Only Tuomas and Empuu are first cast. With vocals and bass you've reached three. Three times a band member had to be replaced at short notice and unplanned (Jukka, Anette and Marko). But it took them 25 years to do it.
    Annette:
    Nightwish - Nemo live Montreux Jazz Festival 2012 HQ
    Floor:
    Nightwish - Nemo (Wacken 2013)
    Overall, the pop singers or combinations of pop and classical dominate in the symphonic. Specialized classical singers like Tarja tend to be the exception. Floor is the role model today and not Tarja:
    Within Temptation - 'The Fire Within' (Official Music Video)
    EPICA - UNCHAIN UTOPIA - (ΩMEGA ALIVE) (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
    BEYOND THE BLACK - Dancing In The Dark (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)
    VISIONS OF ATLANTIS - Pirates Will Return (Official Live Video) | Napalm Records

    Ash, I completely agree with you. I would certainly not be a Nightwish fan with Tarja on lead vocals. However, for Floor to be the singer now, there had to be the evolution from Tarja to Anette to present day.

    Symphonic metal is the combination of opera and metal, therefore to say that Tarja doesn't fit with the band and symphonic metal is absolutely ridiculous and stupid...Tarja is one of the co-founders of the band and one of the creators of the genre, her dark and majestic soprana voice is perfect for symphonic metal, even most of the songs were made for her voice...
    Floor is good but her voice is more pop, she doesn't have an operatic background. Nightwish with Floor is not symphonic metal...

    *As an old Nightwish fan [since 1998], I don't have a special preference in the vocalist-case, even if I'm generally happy with Floor as Nightwish's vocalist, but I have some preferences in the case of some song-arrangements. I prefer this original "Nemo" arrangement over the newer ones, same thing with "Sleeping Sun" [ Original 1999 version = reference version]. In case of Nightwish's commercially most successful track "Amaranth" I admit I still prefer Anette's studio-version over all live-versions...* 🎵🎸🥁🎹🎵💿🎵🔥😈🔥

    Brilliant reaction (as always).....Funnily I thought the same initially, Floor is just the one of the most versatile and best singers in the world - I think this is fair to say. And Ghost Love Score certainly suits Floor best. However, over time and listening to all their songs old and new again and again, I feel that Tarja is absolutely stunning, and incredible singer. For certain songs Tarja is equally better suited than Floor, perhaps because the operative style adds drama and fits better with some. Beside Nemo, the best Tarja live performance is "Wishmaster", would be curios to see you react to it ! Also, Tarja has an incredible classical version of a Rammstein song "Ohne Dich" ua-cam.com/video/28OpIlBG_zg/v-deo.html , have listen to that.
    Nightwish is perhaps the only band with 2 world class female lead singers, they are so blessed !!

    I enjoy most reactions but to actually say that Tarja doesn’t fit NW has to be one of the most uninformed comments. It is typical of those who think somehow NW started in 2913 with Floor or had no success before that. And I respect Floor and don’t get into the fake rivalry. They are good friends. But back than Tarja fit what Tuomas wrote. The band was more gothic/symphonic at least u til Mario in 2002-3 and now it’s full Hans Zimmer metal.Like new NW sound better? Fine. But to say Tarja doesn’t fit a song written for her is just silly. Tuomas and Tarja w/Empuu founded NW and this song was their biggest break thru hit. With her voice. BTW despite the change Tuomas has said that the best interpreter of his vision and his words was Tarja. Love Floor. But don’t diss the OG and don’t disrespect NW’s origins. Ghost Loce Score was written for her as well.
