I like your concept! Many already commented about pausing, but it's hard to do that in right places since you honestly listened this the first time. :)
And these epic NW songs are tough in my opinion, there's a lot to take in. That's why I recommend something shorter, faster paced by them (if you do Nightwish some point again). Like, Storytime or Romanticide from this same concert. :)
All the best to you guys and your channel! ps: holy shit the view from your window
in all honesty its a reactionvideo, if people want to listen to the song without pauses they can just go and listen to the actual song
Thanks for understanding ;)
Thank you so much for your support! ❤️
We are lucky to have an amazing view! Those are the bright lights of downtown Toronto-if you look close you can see the CN Tower ✨✨
If you assume that a studio version appeals more to the imagination in terms of music, and this determines your taste, then I personally think you are kidding yourself. A studio version can influence the true singing level to such an extent that it can be disappointing live. A live performance only shows what an artist is capable of in terms of voice use and instrumental realistic sound. I do understand what you mean when you say that the visual aspect of a live performance now (can) influence you. But that is independent of taste or learning to love a new kind of music genre. It is about the complete live on stage album that shows what the band, singer and type of music stand for. You like it or not. But the music doesn't change with that. On the contrary, it is important to see the artist live and then to be able to colour the picture through a purely digital studio recording.

Comparing Amy Lee of EVANESCENCE to Floor Jansen of NIGHTWISH is like comparing a pigeon to a dragon.
I know right XD
ikr? Amy Lee is so damn superior on everyhing.
Pepe you’ve missed the point. Flor is worlds better than Amy Lee
@@TheGrinder66 he got the point, he just used it against the statement on purpose, i think u missed the point
Amy Lee is Ford Fiesta. Floor is Mercedes S-classe. There is no way to compare!
THE WORST PAUSE OF ALL TIME IN THE HISTORY OF REACTIONS
Right???
Yes!
Seriously.
Lol exactly
100%
Wow. Pausing at the last note was like having sex in a car. Almost finishing..... then a cop bangs on the window! WTF!
"you need to pause because i need to make a point" she wasnt even listenning to the song
That's why most reviews suck ass. It doesn't take the musical knowledge of mozart to realise when an important part of the song is happening and yet they still never fail to pause because they like the sound of their own voice. Some of the best reviews I've seen on UA-cam are guys that tell you from the outset they don't pause 👍 you can see what they think through facial expressions and then they review at the end. I'll always go out of my way to praise them in the comments as being a good reviewer.
@@gavinchapple8350 no pause reviews are clearly the best but I think it's something about copyrights and basically if you want to get paid you have to pause like every 30s in the song. I even watched some reviewers pause and straight up say "no, I just pause because I have to" and continue with the music. But most feel like they have to make up excuses and BS analysis of obvious stuff nobody cares unless it's very scientific stuff like from voice teachers.
@@gavinchapple8350 Actually, the very best reviewers pause a lot, because they have something worthwhile to say. Check out The Charismatic Voice, where Ghost Love Score is dissected by a professional singer (Elizabeth Zharoff). Not that that's what's happening above... 🤷♂
@@jpdemer5: you are soooo right!!
Did you seriously just pause at THAT moment?!?!
Someone said that Evanescence is coke and cheeseburger, Nightwish is champagne and caviar. Nightwish has been around since 1996.
Your may be right with that comment. Because I like nearly all I have heard of Nightwish. But I don’t like anything I have ever heard from Evanescence. P.S. Nightwish have been around since 1996, Evanescence have bee around since 1995.
Haha, people don't have to like every singer and music gerne. But people that say Evanescence can't sing clearly don't know much about a good voice. And people that say that some singer's are better because they have been around for a longer need to think up a good reason and not to come up with something that dusn't even matter. And if Nightwish is from 1996 that was a greath year because Within Temptation is also from 1996.
giovanni gio People On here are saying that Evanescence started out as a Christian band. Do you know if that is true. I actually thought I heard that said on MTV years ago.
Haha, that was my comment with the coke and cheeseburger 🤣
Wolfgang Engel Well said my friend ;).
They... paused... in... the... middle... of... THE... NOTE!!!!
(It's the climax of the whole song)
we can forgive if they do another- say perhaps Storytime from Wacken
It was regrettable, though..
coitus interruptus :)
Thats unforgivable sin. So much blabbering. You will experience hellish flames until your heart melts.
@@madhatter6708 the greatest show on earth!!!
Disliked.
Pausing during the high note should be a punishable crime
Mike Johnson being named mike johnson should too
Wtf, me too
What even is their vibe if they could think something like that is cool?
Shameful pairing of people.
Agree. They (she) fucked it up.
@@navarrolevel7 dont try to be funny😂
Fun fact: Nightwish was way before Evanescence, Evanescence were inspired by Nightwish. Nightwish was the band that brought symphonic metal into "mainstream", their first album was released in 1997 and by their 3rd album, Wishmaster (2000), they were already a big name in european and japanese rock scenes. Evanescence released their debut album (Fallen) in 2003 one year after Nightwish released their widely acclaimed 4th album, Century Child. :D
Actually I believe Evanescence was formed in 1995. However they didn't put out a full length album until the early 2000's By that time Nightwish had released 4-5 albums and were on their 2nd world tour.
Depends on the country I guess, here Within Temptation brought the genre, as far as it existed back then for some reason everyone called it gothic metal, into the mainstream. Ice Queen was a pretty big hit and was played all over the mainstream media.
@@ThunderwingDoomslaye Within Temptation is another band inspired by Nightwish.
@@j.nybergh7003 probably a bit. But they started around the same time, released their first album in the same year, so I doubt they took all their inspiration from them, or vice versa.
@@ThunderwingDoomslaye I guess both of their success added each others making symphonic metal more popular.
Oh my god an interrupted floorgasm 😭 you can't do this this is inexclusable 😱
You need to pause this, I need to make a point.
No, Floor made the point, you need to listen.
Manners please. To my great disappointment so many Nightwish fans like you have created a negative image for Floor and the whole band with comments like yours in many similar reaction/analysis/review channels. I understand passion, but try to think before you comment.
@clark cimmerianthe whole point of this isn't a review, its showing his girlfriend new music. and not pausing this would have gotten their video banned, btw
@@TheGreatAbaddon Not true.
😂
Doesn't matter if your friends are DJs. Pushing play buttons, aligning tracks and doing crossfades is shameful, compared to playing an actual music instrument, especially at the level of proficiency that these people do. Not to mention Marco and Troy also sing while playing. And that Troy plays, like, 8 instruments in this band. Holy hell, how can anyone think a DJ's skill level is anywhere near this?
Who has a bloody five minute conversation in the middle of a note?
I think you guys now hold the world record for stopping or skipping over the BEST moments of the whole damn song!
Ha! Oops.
Andrew Ludwig sorry! I’ll get better with the pausing...I need to remember there are huge fans watching....my bad 😣
@@pamelamaeandrews4526 Don't feel too bad. My girlfriend does the same thing. She will interrupt ANY show at THE worst possible moment, and doesn't understand why I get pissed and back up the video.
@@goopah I share your pain brother...the timing...jesus...always on the money.
@@pamelamaeandrews4526 At least you are trying! I (obviously) have a UA-cam Account, but I am certainly NOT a Content Creator because I KNOW things will go SO WRONG for me! I don't even bother trying. You ARE trying, which makes you better able to understand some things about posting new content, etc, besides actually trying to broaden your horizons. Good on you, please keep going! :)
Knew exactly how the comment section would look like at that pause in the end
viikmaqic haha! My bad! 😱
Nooo Amy Lee is amazing but Floor Jansen is a whole nother level of talent. Her voice is incredible.
agreed!
Completely
I think floor looks similar to her but the band itself sounds nothing like it lol.
@@DynamiteProd floor is tall, and another level
You feel like this is something special because it is something special. This is probably one of the greatest live performances I have witnessed. This song is over an hour into their set list and Floor's voice is still this strong. Over 80,000 people watched this, and they were lucky to see it live.
Ghost Love Score is not just a song, it's an experience. You have to feel it! Sometimes the best parts pass so fast, you need to pay close attention. It's a masterpiece. :)
They... They... They paused the floorgasm... omg....
Yep. Hard to believe, but they DID!😱
I feel you dude.
My wife does the same, start talking at the wrong moment Everytime 🤪
lol, they did! But I think the live version from Buenos Aires on youtube is even better :)
aye - they left us all effing hanging....
That pause was like a slap to the face, everyone pretty much wanted to see your reaction to that one last note because it normally blow anyone away. Fuck its funny reading these comments.
Dude! You are dismissed as a metal head for interrupting the goddess!
"You need to pause this..."
No, you need to go tf home.
It has always surprised me that American metal fans often don’t know many internationally renowned bands even in the Internet era. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the American show business is trying to protect its market from "foreign invasion."
:-)
When Evanescence appeared in 2003, it seemed ridiculous to me that it was advertised almost as the "world's first gothic metal band with female vocals", although in Europe those kind of bands existed and were popular at least from the mid-90s.
Well said!
@Dyvim Tvar I strongly disagree with this. Most of the Americans with whom I spoke may not know something, but always was notable for lively curiosity and respect for the culture and art of other countries.
@Dyvim Tvar How can you condemn the whole multi-million nation for the controversial actions of the government? As a Russian, I understand this very well, because it is also very unpleasant for me that sombody can judge me by the disgusting actions of the Putin's government, although I have never supported him.
@Dyvim Tvar talk about under-educated, families have being separated since Bill Clinton. Don't speak on that which you do not know
Actually he's not metal head 🤣
Every reacting video in youtube doing this for adsense.
Almost all channel reaction uses nightwish to attract subscribers.
Or other symphonic metal band like epica, within temptation, evanescene, apocalyptica, lacuna coil, after forever and any other.
Floor is a Goddess. Symphonic Metal isn't even "my" genre, but since Floor joined Nightwish, I've been hooked.
Shhhh! She actually is a goddess. "Floor" is her disguise. What would happen if people discovered her secret identity? Ooops...
Nightwish - Romanticide from this same concert (Wacken 2013)
That shows the power of the voice, no operatic stuff, heavier and badass...
I thought she would like the mellow stuff like GLS but not really.
'Pause the video!' Oh my frikkin'...…… This was a first! THE coïtus interruptus of video reactions! If you really would have a feel for this song you would never had pushed that pause button on that spot. It was like watching the very last episode of Game of Thrones and switching the tv set off 10 minutes before the end. The horror! I kinda liked your little disputes and disagreements but could we agree to disagree, eh, perhaps AFTER the song is finished? Just a thought.
exactly. It's perfectly fine to pause a video if you you want to say something, but not there. That was so anticlimactic
This couple is horrible... BIG DISLIKE!!!
It's perfectly fine to do that as long as you go back and listen to the part you missed.
This is Floor the 3rd singer and current singer.
It is sad that you stopped it during her highest note. Which we call Floorgasm.
Nightwish has so much to offer. One song will not show what they are all about.
Here are some suggestions. Ghost River, Song of Myself, and Romanticide all live at Wacken 2013.
Here is some info about the band!
Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female
fronted symphonic metal band. 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 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 still is.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals).
She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon (Poppy, strong
vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor
Jansen. (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) 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 live (Floor).
Ann Waychoff Hi Ann, here we are again :).
@@TheJama64 yep!!!!
Goddamn it! Do you have an alert out? I thought ''1 hour, i'm here before Ann''.. But noooo... Jeezus
As bad as Floorgasm Interruptus is, it still beats the other GLS reaction that went live on UA-cam today. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you avoid it lol.
@UCiJj0ZPuuXCyRAKO6kxVzog MusicAnalyst Reactions
This is NOTHING like evenesence. This is a whole nother level of talent
It’s taking all of my decency to not talk so much shit right now for pausing it right on Floor’s climax note! SMH 🤦🏻♂️
....YOU DID NOT PAUSE THE FLOORGASM!?!?! Wut!?! Big mistake...
No surprise this chick did
RIGHT??!!!!!
They DID!!!😱
I’m taking HEAT for this one!! 😱Sorry guys...I’m learning! This song was amazing!!! ❤️
Don't worry about it, glad you liked it!
Let her listen to Nightwish “ The Poet and The Pendulum “ . But get the story behind why it was written. It’s like watching a play. There’s a wide range of emotions he was going through when he wrote it. It’s a true work of art.
Lol
Floor was already a star with After Forever when your evanescence popped up
You said something that was completely why I loved your reaction. She IS a fuc**ng Sorceress, and battlefield commander, and commands her followers. Floor Jansen is worthy of our devotion, and worthy of our praise.
WHO ON EARTH WOULD EVER PAUSE DURING THAT LAST NOTE? THAT SHOULD BE A CAPITAL OFFENSE!
because she was not "listening" to the song - she was too busy thinking about what she wanted to say. people want to do a "music reaction" video - but they apparently know nothing about music - she probably does the same carp when watching a movie...
Nightwish was there before Evanescence-they just did not much publicity in the States...
Nightwish is not only operatic... from 2010 forward- they have tons of music that is not operatic.
Mad Hatter thank you! I wanted to know this....❤️
Personally, I think Floor Jansen( Nightwish) makes Amy Lee ( Evanescence) look silly ..@@pamelamaeandrews4526
Nightwish (Finish) has like 10+ years on Evanescence. Check out Lacuna Coil (Italy). Same issue, pre dates Evanescence by years, but not as well known.
Mad Hatter I agree 100%
Can't believe, they PAUSED an FLOORGASM...WTF
Worst Nigthwish Reaction ever! The sum of all mistakes... too much talking, don't know the singers name, pause in the middle of Floorgasm (worst mistake), compare with Evanescence and talk about they begins the genre, a little of research doesn't kill anyone...
kalle kanin fucking idiot. Shut ya hole!
@kalle kanin Ei. Ei todellakaan ole miljoonia naisia jotka pystyvät vetämään näin. Edes Tarja ei pystynyt.
Who gives a fuck about nightwish they are a bullshit band in metal
Live versions is where you actually see how good the band or artist is. Some mainstream singer’s are horrible when you heard them live, even with correcting the voice. When you listen Nightwish, listen them live, they are awesome. There are no long guitar solos or free jamming, because it’s symphony based music. I don’t belive that Beethoven did write the concerto where next 12 bars everybody is free to play what ever they want ;). If you will discover Nightwish you will notice that Tuomas Holopainen (keyboardist) is one of the greatest songwriters of current era. He is genius.
How to ruin it all with a poorly-timed pause. :)
Comparing Amy Lee to Floor Jansen, ok, i'll not say anything (despite the fact that i was really chocked) but pausing in the middle of the magnificient last note ... come on, you can't do that, it's wrong :O
And by the way Floor is not a Disney Princess, she's a Viking Godess.
You do not stop in between when she is on the Top Notes or in general. Do not stop it. You loose the whole experience by stopping. She is no Chick. Her Name is Floor Jansen. She is a Valkyrie. Just the Name the Fans gave her long ago. Cause she can also do it like Tarja abd Anette (Former NW Vocalists also very good, different)
More Nightwish does the trick! Try The Greatest Show on Earth, live from Tampere (truly the greatest show on Earth) or The Poet and The Pendulum from Wembley (live). Masterpieces both of them. Or pretty much anything from Nightwish to be honest...
She will like Storytime, Last Ride of the day, Nemo, Alpenglow, Elan, Everdream, Last Of the Wilds, The islander, While your lips are still Red- these are a bit softer- but should be live( Wacken/ Tampere, Wembley)
the 3 sections work so well. the instrumental bridge starts softly but you don't realize that it builds into this grande intro for the powerful 3rd section.
Nightwish predates Evanesence by a decade.... the singer is Floor Jansen. They are a Finnish symphonic metal band... the composer is the keyboard player Toumas Holopanien who is a complete genius.
Nightwish has been around since 1996, their first singer was Tarja Turenen, and she was released in 2005 due to conflicts and the next singer after 18 months of searching was Anetter Olzon she was released in 2012 due to severe conflicts with the band band and then Floor Jansen took over on 48 hours notice and the rest is history. And no Evanescence was not first, actually Amy Lee said she got her inspiration from Tarja. Evanescence can't carry Nightwish's boots, Nightwish is so far above other bands to be relative unkowns in the US 8 years ago, but now they seel out every venue they play in the US. Floor is a classically trained vocalist, and is the most requested guest musician in Europe. Their drummer Jukka is in a class of his own, enought said.
It's understandable she immediately recognized Evanescence, since they are maybe the most popular band of the genre in America (I can tell you I love Nightwish, but I really don't love Evanescence). But Symphonic Metal definitely started and developed in Europe, and Nightwish have been (and still are) one of the leading forces that brought it to success.
Most important note: I have seen so many reactions to Ghost Love Score now. I think nightwish fans are flooding all reaction youtube channels asking for Ghost Love Score. BUT this is the first time I hear someone say that Floor Jansen sings like a mermaid. Usually people say "oh she seems like an angel" and that's totally wrong! The whole Nightwish symbology revolves around the "ocean" concept and female voice is really thought to be the one of a siren or mermaid. So....THANK YOU for saying that see seems like a mermaid.
Wacken 2013: it's a summer festival (in germany I think). There were 82.000 people there, enjoying Nightwish's concert ;)
Nightwish really do have a majectic production machine when it comes to "make the show", the performance itself is a great part of their concert: with all the backing animations on the giant screen, the fireworks and the lights.
I would advice to always listen to metal on live videos, it's just so much better (even if Nightwish is extremely good even on the studio version to me)
AND...bad bad guys for pausing on the Floorgasm (yes her final note, we call it Floorgasm) without saying anything about it
great comment! Next time we won't accidentally cutoff the floorgasm ;)
She could hear "the siren" from Nightwish with Tarja. It's a little more heavy and you could show her that the comment about that Floor sing like a mermaid was very accurate, because she get the essence of the band.
TheEscapist she totally sounds like a beautiful siren. Love her so much....❤️
What I like most about this song is the passion - obviously for a lost love, and because I lost my twin flame when I was 32, this speaks directly to a piece of my heart. Other than that, yeah the show is amazing, but if you watch past performances by the other vocalists - Anette Olzon and Tarja - you'll notice that this is different. The passion is also in what the musicians are doing and how they're playing. I also love how it's 5 or 6 songs in one. Melodies weaving in and out of each other.
If you want to see something else amazing, check out Floor in her earlier band, After Forever, doing Energize Me. The voice is real!
Good reaction up to a point, you guys paused in the middle of THE NOTE (better known as the Floorgasm) her name is Floor Jansen and she is the queen of metal. She is the current singer, Annette was the 2nd singer (the not so operatic singer) Tarja was the oringinal singer who smashed the symphonic metal door right in. 🤘🤘
This is actually their 3rd and current singer. Her name is Floor and she is an extremely versatile singer. Check out "Romanticide" or "Ghost River" from the same show to hear her sound more "Metal". "Song of Myself" is awesome as well. She's amazing and by far the best singer they have had.
Tracy Murray I was blown away by her! Amazing! ❤️
But in my opinion floor is the best. Even better than Tarja, cause Tarja can't get out of the opera mode.
Never pause in the "FLOORGASM"!!!
I got a little bored of reaction channels nowadays 'cause they use to say the same things, but here... Wow! You two made me smile with this, the discussion levels that you brought, the ideas and feelings that her expressed; and with one of my favourite bands ever. You have a new suscriber here, keep doing this, you're good.
The Festival where this was shot is called Wacken Open Air. Its the biggest Heavy Metal Festival in the World, its every year in Germany in a town called Wacken.
You should check it out its awesome.
You just didn’t pause it in the middle of her highest note in the song. WOW
Pausing is inevitable and in random spots. But others have compensated by jumping back 10-15 seconds and taking in the entire moment of the song. I.e., the ending would’ve been saved if you went back a bit.
I've actually been thinking of doing that. Thanks
@@metalconvert2324 Don't worry Lady in Red, All Nightwish fans love you anyway now 🌹
@@metalconvert2324 If you're using UA-cam with the web browser, you can use letters J, K and L in the keyboard to skip 10 seconds backwards, pause and skip 10 seconds forwards.
No they didn,t. Tell me they did not. This cant be true..... wake me up and tell me iT was a nightmare.... pause during floorgasm. Nooooooooo
I forgive her the comparison with Evanescense, and pause the Floorgasm only if they see more videos of Nightwish, Delain, Within Temptation and Unleash The Archers :D
Paused in the middle of the high note . ( face palm ) lol
Reaction are much better if you listen to song. Then talk about it afterwards in my opinion. This is there newest singer. P.S. This is the kind of stuff which can get none metal fans to start appreciating metal.
the risk of having the video blocked by UA-cam also increases.
You dare to pause in the middle of the floorgasm???!!! SACRILEGE!!!!!
New sub. Great reaction guys. Keep 'em comin'!
I have a feeling that NIGHTWISH - Storytime (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) would be a good one for her too. It's a bit harder than this one, and shorter, but still has amazing vocals. Especially toward the end, so no more pausing there!
Annette or Floor version? I prefer Floor's
@@pheenix135 Definitely Floor. I'm still waiting for them to perform Escapist with Floor as well.
You hit the nail on the head. The beauty of groups like Nightwish is what you hear live is as good or better than what the recording sounds like. Find groups like that and you have found real music not commercial music.
I love the band so thank you for this reaction👍. You guys are funny and beautiful😍... And wow incredible view... Greetings from 🇫🇮
Thanks for checking us out!! :)
🥰 thank you
Its Evanescence who are Nightwish-like... Nightwish has been around since officially since 96 (the concept of the band since 94 if unverified source are to be believed) They were one of the first if not the first band in this genre and theyre undoubtedly the most successful.
Also as much as I love Amy Lee she cant hold a candle to Miss Floor Jansen and though it may ruin the magic, the sorcerer in Nightwish is the Keyboardist Tuomas. He is the lyricist and Composer and a true music genius, Floor is more of the Enchantress using the magic to spellbind the audience, she as well is a one in a billion artist.
(And you need to layout a format, that pause at the the end, in the middle of the crescendo is not something people will forgive twice... Im not being mean, just telling you as it is)
Her Name is Floor Jansen and she is the Queen of Metal !!!!
This is Floor Jansen. She is their third and current vocalist. Although this an AMAZING performance, please don't judge the band by a single song or performance. They have an incredible selection to choose from. I recommend you listen to Everdream and Romanticide from this same show. That's just to name a couple. Thanks for your reaction. You should also check out Greatest Show On Earth.
You have it backwards. Floor is the 3rd singer. She is the Lou Gehrig/Tom Brady of music. The replacement that became an all-timer, a legend.
She's been singing professionally since she was 16. Was(is?) also a voice coach.
"So many people" - 82,000
Also, play the damned song! You might enjoy it more, as a whole. ;)
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THIS!!!!!!!!
This whole concert from Wacken in 2013 is available on UA-cam - totally epic!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. That last note is what we fans call a "Floorgasm". There's so much more to explore -- check out "Nightwish - Romanticide (Live Wacken 2013)" it also has their male vocalist singing on it. Enjoy!
A little history lesson on Nightwish vocalists:
Nightwish started out as purely opera-metal, since their first singer, Tarja Turunen, was an Opera soprano and that was all she could do. She was definitely an iconic frontwoman and she helped established them as a huge band, no-one will ever take that away from her. Personally, I always liked the band DESPITE her opera vocals, not because of them.
They fired her in 2005 and got a Swedish pop-rock singer named Annete Olzon, who had no opera vocals but instead had a very powerful, clean rock 'belt' to her vocals. But it's no secret that she struggled with a lot of the older, more operatic songs live and requested they be taken out of the setlist.
They fired her in 2012 and now have this current singer you are seeing in this video. Her name is Floor Jansen and she has the perfect mix of the opera origins of the band and the powerful rock voice of the middle period. She crushes all of it effortlessly and will likely be there until the band calls it a day.
Welcome to Nightwish! Captain David Simmons Fort Myers Florida Division checking in!
You said that you would pay to see this live? I just paid a ton of money to see them in Stuttgart Germany! It was worth every penny!!! ( I also went to see the Porsche Museum and the Mercedes Museum.)
Celine Dion...good. Floor Jansen...unbelievable. She also beats Adele, Maria, Carrie, and maybe even Whitney.
all the downvotes are nightwish fans with blue balls from the interrupted floorgasm
Yup haha
Never ever stop Floor in full flow
:PPPP
It's true. Can you blame them? They need relief with another Nightwish song lol Possibly The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere. I didn't dislike, though! Lol
@@CyanideGirl94 Poet and the pendulum live
Best singer on the planet today. Toumas, the keyboard player has that amazing cpu for writing these songs, but Floor is the real deal. The boys best take care of her...their future is VERY bright with Floors vocals IMO. I too had never heard of them until came across a YT reaction video. Hook, line and sinker as they say. Amazing super-group.
"You need to pause this because I have to make a point" WTF!!!!!!
You paused... during the Floorgasm!?!?!
Meh, Floor pretty much ruined this song anyway.
Multiple points I her performance that make me cringe becaise she is tying so hard to make it work and just doesn't have the voice for it.
Floor is an amazing singer but there are certain songs (like this, sleeping sun, romamtacide, dead boys poem, etc) that she just doesn't have the voice for. Those songs are really built for Tarjas darker, more operatic style and it hurts eveey time i watch people judging nightwish based on Floor's performances of those songs because they just aren't on anything remotely close to the level of Tarja's.
Please note that i am absolutely NOT saying Tarja is a better singer, as there are certain other Nightwish songs (like Poet and the Pendulum) they Floor absolutely nails and that would sound wrong if Tarja tried to do them.
Just saying the two have very different vocal styles, and when Floor tries to do songs like this you can really hear the struggle of her trying to be something she's not.
@@pete3198 what? U know i read w e u just wrote and somehow a middlefinger came up on my leg
@@8ExtremeRush8
Don't care what you think, there are some nightwish songs (generally many of the early ones written for Tara's vocals) that floor struggles with because great as her voice is her style is more mainstream. Some of those more classically styled songs just don't have the same magic when floor does them.
Hi, I'm from Argentina. Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece. But I must say that it hurt me deeply how you cut the best part. the end. The FLOORGASM ¡¡¡¡ why, why did you do that?
Alejandro Gil my bad!! I’m paying dearly for this in the comments. 😱I’m learning and I’m new to metal so please be patient with me....❤️This song was badassssss!!! 😍
@@pamelamaeandrews4526 Thank you for your response. I am also very happy that you enjoyed it. Floor Jansen is a badass right ?. and do not worry I know it was not your intention, and I know very well that you liked the band and the metal queen the Dutch goddess. To remedy the final error, I will give you one more chance haha. Choose any theme of the 2013 recital (Wacken) to react and you will be forgiven. Greetings from Argentina and many thanks to the two for appreciating the good music
First of all. Nightwish was first with this music. Evenecense is a very faded shadow Next to Nightwish and Even though i love amys voice its not in the same league as Floor Jansen. But I have a huge problem with your videos. The way I understand it is that she is the one that wants to learn to love metal. But when the guy is making jokes and telling what he doesnt like then he ruins her experience. And by the way... You should check out the other bands live. They Will not give you the epic feeling live. And if you want to like metal you should not pause as much. Its not like pop where its 1 Line in repeat. And btw. To hit the drums fast is not the same as beeing a good drummer. Timing is everything.
Therion started symphonic metal couple of years earlier
Floor is fucking amazing. However, it's important to remember that all of the music and lyrics to their songs are written by their keyboardist, Tuomas, with some help from the guitarist and bassist.
Again, Floor is fucking amazing, but you really gotta give it up to Tuomas for the creativity.
I met Nightwish in Dallas Texas on their most recent decades tour! So awesome in person!!!!
Cheers!! from Thailand.This band is great. I always listen to metal rock, but this band did great combination of music and this band also made me open my mind listening to opera.
The original singer (that this song was written for) was Tarja, did exclusively opera vocals. The 2nd singer Annette, who you probably heard before, was pop sounding. This is the current singer Floor Jansen. She can perform many different styles of singing.
The Keyboard player writes 95% of their songs. A few other songs that you might like:
Nightwish - Ever Dream live at Wacken 2013
Nightwish - Shudder Before the Beautiful live at Wembley
Revamp - Sweet Curse live featuring Simone Simmons of Epica
Kamelot - My Confession
Super reaction, it is refreshing to see reaction from someone not so into metal!:D Song of myself is the gem of Nightwish that true fans respect and love!
Thanks! Some people don't like to hear criticism. But not you! :)
I'm disappointed by some of the comments. The first 2m30 of the video basically tell STAN, Snowflakes, Easily offended, etc, to fu** off (in the most polite way possible), which is a good thing. Honest reactors don't need these kind of whiner who dislike for the sole reason that you did not validated their love for their favorite singer. Whoever you guys decide to react to next the comments section will also be full of these individual, it's not exclusive to Nightwish or metal fan it's the same for every fan base. They are looking for honest reactors (yeah right!) but u will get love in the comments only if you are a cheerleader-dishonest waste of reactor space, which I find highly hypocritical. Some of the top reactors in subs count will never say anything negative ever, they are the fakest of the fakest, but they get praise for their authenticity, go figure...
I hope you will continue discovering Nightwish. There are so many layers to their music
Maybe you wanna see different side to Nightwish, maybe try Romanticide or Storytime?
trinxikene Yes react to Romanticide, also from Wacken 2013.
Or Sleeping Sun with Tarja always a classic.
Poet and the Pendulum is probably my favorite Nightwish song. I definitely recommend reacting to it since it's a lot more dynamic and tells a very personal story to Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboardist.
Ok, A little late but here goes:
Wacken is a yearly week long metal festival in Germany where numerous bands from different countries play in many different sub genres of the metal hat.
Nightwish ( from Finland ) belong to a category normally known as symphonic metal.
Along these lines you also have power metal, folk metal and viking metal.
These styles of metal are uniquely European since they base their foundation on the fact that Europe as a continent consist of 49 different countries all with their own languages and cultures so the music is based on rock, classical music and the different kinds of folk music heralding to the different cultures and music traditions.
Symphonic metal is a style of very melodic metal with strong classical undertones and influences,- hence the keyboards playing stuff that sounds like they have a full classical orchestra with them on stage and is also the reason for the vocal style of straight rock singing blended with opera characteristics.
All of this needs VERY prolific musicians to pull it off and Nightwish rank among the best.
Their singer Floor Jansen ( Holland ) is normally referred to as the Godess Floor Jansen.
The fans have lovingly renamed this song " Ghost Love Floor " for her incredible capabilities and in contrast to a LOT of contemporary especially pop artist she can actually pull this of live.
The amazing thing about her vocal consistency is that this song is situated about 70 minutes into a concert that last for about an hour and and 30 minutes which means she had already been going at it for more than an hour when she gets to this incredible stretch of vocal skills. She always sounds like she could go on for a week without straining her voice which is why she is widely regarded as probably THE best female vocalist in metal these years.
In you want to subject yourselves to the full experience and treat that is Nightwish watch and listen to the entire concert ON QUALITY SPEAKERS.
It´s easily found on UA-cam under Nightwish - Live at Wacken 2013 HD Full Concert.
What you will then have experienced is something normally known as multiple Floorgasms.
Enjoy.
Why a break in the end? Blasphemy!
Anf they thought, beforehand, that they woudl catch hate for an honest, and maybe not so positive opinion, little did they know it be somethign liek pausing a high note at the end that would get them the flack!
Thomas Meissner haha 😂
Omg so much potential...and then you had to go and pause in the midle of "The" Floorgasm...haha Im sure you will get better with time, ill subscribe any way :)
oops haha
Nightwish dose not just have fans, They have a Army. This not the type of music that you can talk over, Music has a flow, Brake the flow and you will have a much harder time getting in to it.
Nightwish started 1996 and was one of the first symphonic metal bands and most likely the first largely known. I remember hearing one band before Nightwish that was very similar to symphonic metal called the Gathering (with Anneke van Giersbergen) but apparently it's more gothic metal than symphonic. Btw. thank you for reacting to Gojira - Born in Winter. I found one of my favorites songs through your channel.
90,000 at this show, plus they sold out Wembley Arena in 2015 80,000 fans

This song is more vocal driven than other Nightwish songs so the instrumentation is not that visible except the orchestrations (which are by the same orchestra that made the score of The Lord of the Rings). The drummer Jukka Nevalainen is one of the greatest. It is a real scene to see him performing. He plays with big moves and attitude and he hits HARD. He has suffered from insomnia and had to step a side for now and he has been replaced by Kai Hahto. He is the best drummer from Finland in technical point of view. I like Jukka's style better but I was pleased to hear Kai was gonna taka his place.
Nightwish isn't the band that first took the symphonic elements but they are the band that raised the genre in front of the big audience. Nightwish is also older than Evanescense and more variative, even heavier at times. Nightwish's style is very unique. The main songwriter and the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen has been called as Modern Mozart. This era songs are from his head and feelings. Their two first albums had more fantasy like theme but the third one turned it more into human mind. The first one with their second singer Anette Olzon, the heavy dark monster Dark Passion Play is a heavy, sad, depressive and angry voyage into your deepest mind. The opening track The Poet and the Pendulum is truly worth of listening to. It is their darkest and most powerful song ever. Not saying the best but one of them. Again I demand to take the Live version from Wembley. It is sang by Floor Jansen and she really adds more feeling to this one than Anette. Anette is a good singer tho but she doesn't have that huge ability to give feeling to a song.
The next album Imaginaerum is a trip to power of imagination. Not as heavy but very creative. One of my favorite songs Last Ride of the Day is in the second last spot when Song of Myself ends the album. Last Ride of the Day (Live at Wacken) ends the concert you just watched. Nice uplifting and heavier song.
Therr latest turns the sledge in a totally different way. It is about life and evolution. The album is ended by a 24-minute monster The Greatest Show on Earth. Evolution-biologist Richard Dawkings has speaking role in the album and his books have been used in the lyrics. That song is also worth of listening. Again, live version is desired (live at Tampere). One heavier song with more technical instrumentation is Romanticide (live at Wacken). It is originally in Once album but again Floor nails it great.
The current singer Floor is totally superior amongst all the metal singers. She can make Amy Lee look like a choir girl. She is that good. You heard most of her techniques and abilities. She can also growl but she does that only in two of their songs (Ghost River and Yours Is an Empty Hope). She doesn't use her operatic style that often so it's more like a season to add flavour where needed. She can be an angel, siren or the warrior Xena.
Nightwish is really popular in Europe and they do festival headlining like the this Wacken show, sold out arenas as well. There were 75000 people in the crowd.
The reason why people want you to do the live versions coz they give a lot more impact but still the impact you are feeling is real even when just listening the studio versions. Also most of the songs sound so much better with Floor. She gives them totally new life. Nightwish has their own magic that no other band has. Also you see how great they are on the stage. I have seen them 14 times live and every time they blow me away.
@Mikko Laine
Great summary! Apparently not everyone shares our passion for Nightwish (yet), which is okay. I also had to get used to all the aspects and layers of these compositions, but when it grabbed me, it never let go again! So I guess we shouldn't take a first review like this thát serious. Having said that ... what I don't understand is the remark "these guys are doing basic things", which is far from the truth, even if the music doesn't appeals to you. Like you described above, these are top musicians, playing complex and beautiful compositions ... but again, apparently not everyone has the same set of ears. Best regards from the Netherlands
Shame on you fans for attacking these people. You wanted a genuine reaction, you got one. They reacted to this song in their own way. If they wanted to pause in the middle of the note, let them. That’s what a reaction video is. A ‘Floorgasm’ isn’t a reason to make them feel ashamed of reacting to your favorite band, and that word itself has become overused and cringeworthy in itself, if I’m honest, and I say this as someone who has been a fan of Nightwish for over 15 years.
2 points:
1 - Nightwish build the whole song to explode in the end, they stop the song in the middle of the explosion.
2 - This guy is a mix of Adan Levine and David Giuntoli
Say hello to Floor Jansen!!! She is one of the best vocalists out there.....period 👍🏻
Floor wasn't even technically in the band yet when this video was made. She was filling in for Anette. The band has said they will hold on to Floor tooth and nail, she is perfect for Nightwish. She has the range to sing any style. She has a side project that does straight hard rock as well. If she likes a show Poet and the Pendulum is setup like a play.
I like her comments. She is not into heavy metal but she is very openminded to hear it close and understand it. Comparing Amy Lee to Floor Jansen is only because she does not have any reference to be equally compared to because she is not a metalhead. The "commercial" hard/heavy music that is aired on radio/tv is Evanescence and a few other bands. In Italy there is not a heavy metal radio. Floor Jansen has a operatic singing preparation, has a beautiful voice and she can manage airflow to sing whatever she wants to. This song has appeared into their album named ONCE and the female voice of Nightwish was Tarja Turunen that left during the 2012 tour and Wacken Open Air festival lasts 3 days between end of July and beginning of August (2013). She had little time to learn all their songs and performing THIS is the sign that she is an amazing singer. Watching this video and listening to her could appear that she has passed years to sing it but it was only a few months and in a so short time she has made this! I suggest you to go to one of their live shows, regardless the ticket price, because she is a real miracle of nature. The alchemy in their shows is incredible and the chemistry that ties the band is visible. Once the show begins, everything flows and is incredible.
