"I'm not gonna compare two different singers in the same band" THANK YOU! As someone who appreciates all 3 singers Nightwish has had, I heartily appreciate this.
I love Nightwish with all 3 singers. I love Tarjas dark, cold style, Annettes melodic, caring voice. And my favorite albums are 2 with Annette. BUT FLOOR, that women is goddes. She has by far best voice of 3. Can sing Tarja and Annettes songs and make them her own, and some are batter then original. She has by far best stage presence, and is very obvious that she really care and appriciate Nightwish.
@@jsmith1214 All three? All five!
Well, Annette was basically the Blaze Bayley of Nightwish. She couldn't sing any of the classic songs and was the singer for the two worst albums.
@@AndreSomers Who was the fifth one (Tarja, Floor, Anette, Marco and ...)? Was the fifth one some of these: Johanna Salomaa, John Two-Hawks, Tony Kakko or Tapio Wilska? As far as I know Johanna Kurkela has not sung in that band or has she?
@@gredulous2444 I should have said 6 actually. Troy sings, and Tuomas sang on The Carpenter.
I stopped listening to Nightwish when Taja left. I like powerful female vocals, Anette who is the singer following Tarja just didn't do it for me. 2 years ago I saw on UA-cam, Ghost Love Score live at Waken with Floor and I thought to myself, what the hell let me take a listen. I was absolutely blown away!! Ghost Love Score is one of my favorite songs with Tarja. I didn't think it would be possible for me to like any other version of GLS better than the End of an Era version. That sent me into a mission to listen to everything Floor has done with Nightwish and her other bands. It's a great journey, even checking out some songs from Anette like Slow Love Slow. Enjoy your Nightwish Journey, it's epic!!
Same here, nothing against Floor but Tarja was my Nightwish :'(
Planet Hell!!!
Same by me! Lost interest with Anette. Found them here on YT only a few months ago! Love both Tarja and Floor.
Very similar, I still kept with them, but my interest in the band certain petered. I listened to the Tarja stuff fairly heavily and select tracks off of the new stuff. I actually bought Endless Forms Most Beautiful not realising that they had switched singers and thought "wow, they finally made some music suiting Anette's voice, well done." Then the algorithm decided I should watch someone doing the reaction to Waken GLS (possibly one of my all-time favourite songs) and I was blown away by the performance, and all the comments were talking about Floor, so I did a deep dive into the stuff with her, and I am so in love with this band again.
Same
For me, looking at Tarja first, and then Floor later, I see Nightwish the same. I am with you Tank, both singers are fantastic and added something unique and very special to the band and its history. But I can only speak for myself personally. I love Nightwish either way. Both are fantastic singers!!
At some point do Creek Mary's Blood!! And yes be sure to do Phantom of the Opera!!
Let´s not forget Anette, who was between of Tarja and Floor. Talk about pyros. Greatest show on earth in Tampere
Re: Tarja Nightwish suggestions: SLAYING THE DREAMER, 10th man down, Siren, Kinslayer, Sleeping Sun (ballad).
And 'End Of All Hope'
Sleeping Sun, one of the very few that I still prefer from Tarja (and that's as far as I'll discuss about that matter).
Slaying the dreamer is SOOOO good 💪
Kinslayer, Siren, Sleeping Sun, Wanderlust, Stargazers, Dead Boy's Poem, Ever Dream, Elvenpath, and of course, the song that made me sit through "The Descent" movie credits to find out the artist and the way I discovered Nightwish and fell in love with them, NEMO.
Absolutely check out the covers below
Covers:
Over the Hills and Far Away (excellent Gary Moore cover), High Hopes (excellent, maybe the best Pink Floyd cover of any song), Walking in the Air (Howard Blake cover - just beautiful - similar to Sleeping Sun)
Yesss please!
Tarja era songs...
Planet Hell (Jukka is a BEAST in this)
Nemo
10th Man down
Over the Hills and Far Away (Gary Moore cover)
Sacrament of Wilderness
STARGAZERS
Slaying the Dreamer
Dead to the World
Gethsemene
Kuolema Tekee Taitelijan (its a ballad, but its insanely beautiful and all in Finnish)
Fantasmic
Crownless (not sure if they ever played that live, but some good stuff in that song)
Dead Boy's Poem
I love Nightwish with Tarja, when she left the band I was so unbelivably Sad. I felt that the band was gone, even when Anette joined them, I was not as into the band as before. And at one point I stopped following their new music. Then by coincidence I heard Nightwish with Floor, and I cried because they were back! Floor brought the old soul of Nightwish back. ❤️✨✨✨😄
This was me! It wasn't until i started watching Tank and Chase's reactions that i gave Nightwish another listen and realized the current singer (Floor) was not the singer who i saw replace Tarja, who i just couldn't get into. So I'm actually rediscovering Nightwish during this pandemic right alongside Tank and Chase and their music is powerful! All that unnecessary dislike i had for years, for no reason. lol
It was the same for me! I did not know, that Floor joined the band until youtube suggested me a reaction video of "The charismatic voice" and know nightwish is all over my playlists back again;D
Same here, was a Nightwish fan with Tarja, didn't like Annette so I stopped following the band. I had also been listening to After Forever since 2001 so I knew who Floor was. When I heard Floor joined Nightwish I was ecstatic and when I saw the official Ghost Love Score video from Buenos Aires in 2012 I fell in love with them all over again. Floor just makes Nightwish a better band, they are now the total package.
Same! Though I was familiar with Floor's singing in After Forever and Ayreon so I thought: "Hmm, this might be good, I should check them out now"... and forgot until recently. And then I was totally Floored)
Same here
You have to do "Walking in the Air", "Sleeping Sun" and "Nemo" with Tarja... after "Phantom of the Opera"! ;)
I love Tarja's Sleeping Sun. So beautiful.
No Phantom please
@@ZappaSheik Haha... he said it will come next! ;)
Walking in the air. Hands down. Love the original too from snowman.
I'd also highly recommend "She is My Sin"
Will recommend "The Siren" and also "Planet Hell" - End of an Era (this same concert).
Planet Hell is a cracking song!
Oh, yes. Love both.
I'd love to hear what you have to say about planet hell :)
@@johnfreeman9505 I feel like it's kinda underrated. I love it so much.
Swanheart. Really shows off Tarja's classical tone, as well as being one of Tuomas's most beautiful melodies.
So funny! The first 3 seconds.... Marko throwing his plectrum in the audience and following it with his eyes like it is gonna fly at least a 100 meters through the air.... while in fact it immediately drops dead right in front of his feet. I mean, that was to be expected from a tiny piece of plastic. But still..... the effort he put into it, 10 points for trying Marko! LOL!
Has Emppu not given him lessons on how to do it? Cheers / B.
@@mbo191 Emppu's ability can't be taught... The man can hit a stamp a a hundred paces with a pick lol. That's just natural.
@@joguipo - 😁😁😁
Slaying The Dreamer 🤘
"Put a stake! through my heart, and drag me into sunlight"
awesome duet of Tarja and Marco.
On your free time, check out Wishmaster live From Wishes to Eternity concert. The sound is unbelievably closer to studio recording. You can see their former bassist, Sami in action and young Tuomas doing airguitar which is hilarious 😂
Tarja frequently changes outfits during shows and the changes usually include a matching microphone! In this concert I think she has 4 different mics to match different outfits.
And I'll add "Creek Mary's Blood" to the suggestion list (the version from this concert is great)
5 when you include Sleeping Sun's gown the same from the 2nd official video. Simply put I love that lady and what she does. Her warm chest voice and soaring vocals with the vibrato which fills the vocal tract for a far richer sound than straight vocals can do. It works for ME! I love it. I don't have to speak for others. Nor am I.
Tuomas and Emppu were having fun at that moment, but remember one thing Tank: this was their last concert with her.
After it they fired her. If you want to see how Tuomas really felt you have to watch the last song from the concert. Where he holds his head in the hands for a while after the song had ended. He knew he had made a deicision that would affect them, and especially him the next year.
I was actually thinking about that and almost brought it up during the video. It was crazy to think they looked so energized and fun yet also KNEW they were firing their singer hours later.
@@TankTheTech worse that they didn't even tell her to her face. Even cowardly told her not to open it until tomorrow. By which point at about 2am CET they published a copy. What I know is after Tuomas' father passed Tarja reached out to him and since then the past is being buried. Now Marko & Tarja met up and made up during a Xmas concert either 2012/13. Reports of hugging and crying and you can see them holding each other during a duet later. Another show they sang a duet of Ave Maria she wrote. Few years later while both at a festival in summer Tarja had Marco as a guest on stage. Those two settled issues then. As far as Emppu and Jakku ( o.g. one) I don't know other as a band they admit to handling things badly and the wrong way. This was airing dirty laundry in public instead of finding a neutral place and moderator to sort things out in private. Discuss legal rights and a public statement from the band.
Easy enough to announce Tarja taking a leave from the band to pursue both her Christmas album and 1st solo rock album. 2 years and they can decide if they'll produce another album together or rework the contract releasing her from her obligations. Lots of time to be adults. But drugs/booze and youthful pride got in the way.
Her getting married changed the dynamic. Can you blame a married woman not wanting to share dressing rooms and sleeping quarters with her male band mates who have been partying? Even if nothing inappropiate happened it would still lead to rumours. It gives the apperance of impropriety. Not cool. Not fair to her or her husband Marcello. 20 years married as of Dec 31, 2022. As someone whose faith is of importance to her, I fully understand. Never mind incident I was told of where she was attacked on stage who tried to disrobe her in Mexico. Where its reported the band did nothing but then manager Marcello called security to protect her. Yeah not exactly high on the trust meter these folks.
Anyways her solo career soars and new album Outlanders is out in a week.
Attended 3 Nightwish concerts in Tarja era, man, those days, even got to meet her and the band and have pics with all of them in tour bus. I even caught Jukka's drumstick on the concert from this tour! It's still on the wall in front of me. I'm living those memories again through this! I'm happy to see you join the army, awesome reaction! :) Tarja was our original goddess, we were in love with her :) When they dumped her I was sad like someone close to me died :( And when Tuomas brought Anette, a more of a pop rock singer, who couldn't sing all those epic Tarja era songs, it was even more devastating. We all though we will never experience this magic again. It's hard to describe happiness when they announced Floor is coming to Nightwish, things were finally right again in this world :) But still for us OG Nightwish fans Tarja will always remain in the heart as our original goddess :)
Slaying the Dreamer! In that song she's untouchable by anyone, as in Phantom of the Opera and The Siren. All from the same concert.
You can't compare them, that's what I pray over and over. Tarja was the voice that made Nightwish that popular, the crystal queen between the bad guys 😁. There were several bands out there doing similar stuff (not to say hundreds) that time, but they shined out due to her sound and the sound of the band in that context. Would Nightwish with Floor there where they are now at the beginning? I don't think so, but that is subjunctively. Every band is making progress and developments within the years and they are still outstanding in what they do and how they do it. I'm repeating myself: NW fan again 🙌
Slaying the dreamer from the same DVD! It starts quite calm but the last part with Marko is mindblowing.
As I wrote in the live chat, comparing Tarja and Floor is like comparing apples to pears or bananas to berries: totally useless! There will always be people who prefer this or that singer, people who dislike them both (you weirdos!🤣) and people like me who appreciate their talent just because they are so different yet so beautiful to hear!
Thanks Tank for pointing it out, and thanks again for all your backstage informations: sometimes we tend to give the show for granted but there's so much happening beyond the curtains!👍🤘💥
Greetings!
👋🇮🇹🖖
I agree with your statement Flavio.
@@LandanSmith ty Landan.
I think it's just common sense:
Why arguing if sharing is possible?
(And it's "for free" too, no one loses anything!)🤷
👋🇮🇹🖖
There are even a few of us who prefer Anette. In the studio anyway as no one comes close to Floor live.
@@rik8921 I never understood the hatred fans seem to have toward the varying singers. I like them all for varying reasons. i was lucky enough to see Floor with Nightwish when it was only her 2nd or 3rd time singing with them. It was a great show.
A better analogy is that it's like comparing cats and dogs. No one gets fired up about fruit discussions, but comparisons of cats/dogs or Tarja/Floor makes people really upset. Some people only like one of them, and some people even get mean and hateful. Luckily a lot of people love both, and appreciate them for what they are.
Wishmaster was the first Nightwish song I ever heard, way back in middle school around 2000, after a math teacher played it in class. The same week it was the first album I ever bought. The whole album, and this song in particular, has a very special place in my heart.
I started listening to Nightwish from this song, and because of this song i bought their disc back there at 2004...
Just walked through the main bus station, and this song hypnotized me and I followed it right to the music shop....
But if we talk about Tarja era at Nightwish, for me the best of it is the song - The beauty and the beast.
I am the worlds' biggest fan of Floor and I will admit that this is the ONE song that she can't touch Tarja on.
This and Nemo. I fully agree ! How amazing are they both though, the band is blessed to play their music with 2 exceptional lead singers.
Ever dream also
Basically all the opera songs
Yes, Tarja is an amazing vocalist and Nightwish has always been better in live performance no matter who sings at the microphone. I also recommend Nightwish with Tarja:
- Phantom of the opera, Slaying the dreamer, Planet hell, The siren, Sleeping sun, Nemo from the concert DVD End of an era;
- Swanheart, Walking in the air, Pharion sails to orion, Dead boys poem, Fantasmic from the concert DVD From Wishes to enternity;
- 10th man down, End of all hope from the Summer Breeze festival;
Tarja solo career: Supremacy from the Woodstock festival 2016.
Some amazing ones from the same concert: The kinslayer, the siren, slaying the dreamer, planet hell👏
Slaying The Dreamer, 10th Man Down and Kinslayer
The sloped keyboard makes ergonomically positioned for comfort.
I liked the end with the Iron Maiden riff.
bless THE child is great song from that concert
Planet Hell for sure. Such a great, heavy song, with great drumming by Jukka and singing chemistry between Marco and Tarja.
If you wanna hear Marcos and Tarja vocals in perfect harmony you have to listen to "The Phantom of the Opera" from this concert. It's absolutly awesome!!
Oh how I loved Nightwish back in 2005 ^^ I was just a teenager and they were the first symphonic metal band I ever heard. "Bless the Child", "Nemo", "Over the hills and Far Away", the list goes on. Now I'm fifteen years older, have a job and a family on my own and guess what? Still listening to them. Good luck on your wednesday journey.
Tarjas Operavoice is stunning everytime i hear her :D !!! Greetings from Germany.
RE: Yellow microphone: In this concert, she also wears a yellow dress with that mic, and a red dress with a red microphone and a white dress with a white mic. Mic stands are also appropriately colour coded.
Yup, Tarja is a total fashion diva and I love her for that,lol. She also rocks in extremely high heeled shoes and New Rock boots like no other.
Actually more of a coat than a dress...she had trousers on underneath. ;-)
And she's carried on that aesthetic for her subsequent solo career.
Next (after next week): From this same concert "Planet Hell". Jukka (drummer) has his time to shine... + "The Siren".
Old Nightwish from 2000 (from "Wishes To Eternity"), cover song: "Walking in the Air".
There are special events and twists and turns in life. Think of these members of Nightwish, for example.
When Nightwish was on a European tour in the early 2000s, Floor’s band was their support band. Floor then looked at Tarja, thinking that one day I want to be like her. And now she is a member of Nightwish!
When Nightwish was young, they were on a concert tour supporting a band for a Finnish metal band called Tarot. Tarot was founded by the Hietala brothers (Marko bass and Sakari guitar). Marko watched from Tuomas that that man has a book in his hand as soon as he has free time. And Marko thought, I would definitely get along well with that man (Marko also reads a lot). And now Marko has been a member of Nightwish for 19 years ...
When Tarja was a child, she started playing the piano at the age of 6. Her piano teacher was ..., Tuomas' mother! So Tuomas and Tarja knew each other on some level right from childhood (Tarja 6 and Tuomas 7 years old at the time.)
Maybe you would also like to get to know Marko's first band? Tarot. He was the bassist and singer of the band.
"Tides" ua-cam.com/video/3X9lLP7eHW0/v-deo.html
That was recorded in 2007.
I see so few comments for Nightwish - I Wish I Had An Angel
Such a masterpiece live! It's not just Tarja, it's all of them at their best!
PS: Marco is a beast at Slaying The Dreamer song
Glad you enjoyed it much love and respect to Tarja she helped put nightwish on the map in the early days I have loved them since then, each singer has their own merits for me and is always nightwish. Thankyou.
Woww, great reaction. Next reaction could be "Planet Hell" from the same DVD. Is a song with Marco and Tarja on vocals, epic and heavy song.
This ☝️💪
Regarding the yellow microphone, she actually uses multiple different colored microphone and changes multiple times throughout the concert. She starts off with a yellow coat with black pantsuit/yellow mic for the first couple of songs (Dark Chest of Wonder, Planet Hell, Ever Dream, The Kinslayer, and Phantom of the Opera), then she goes without the yellow coat and is dressed in just black with a black microphone for The Siren, then she uses a white dress/microphone during Sleeping Sun, switching to the black dress with yellow accents and the yellow microphone for Bless the Child, Wishmaster, and Slaying the Dreamer, afterward switching to a red coat/black pants and a red microphone for Nemo and Ghost love Score, finally switching back to a white microphone but a DIFFERENT white dress (Actually a white skirt and a white corset-style top) for Over The Hills And Far Away along with I Wish I Had An Angel (The final song in the performance). She uses various interludes, acoustic songs, and Marco's High Hopes to give time to change so many times.
I can say how it is to explore Nightwish with Tarja & after that Anette & Floor. My 1st Nightwish experience (2005 I believe) was actually a Nightwish concert at the Schleyerhalle in Stuttgart/Germany.
I heard the "Once" album for the 1st live at this concert & some of their older classics & I was just instantly in love. And so it was with every other singer or member of the band that left & came. I trust Nightwish to pick & choose what's the best for themselves & their art. I was never disappointed (:
Nice reaction - as always.
🤘 Nightwish🤘 Phantom Of The Opra is simply "must have" The beast performance ever od thise song in my opinion ofc. Next NEMO
I started listening to Nightwish back when Tarja was a singer, I just loved their sound. Back then, this wasn't something I had heard before, it was very new (though it should be said, I wasn't big on metal but this blew me away). I just loved the music and the combination of metal with Tarjas classical voice. I lost track of them for a while, I loved Tarja in the band and it was hard to think anyone could step in and replace her and give me the same feeling.
Enter Floor. I was sold once more and started listening to more songs with Floor as vocalist and fell in love all over again with this band. I have actually fallen for all 3 singers, they all brought something different and a lot of greatness to this wonderful wonderful band. They are all too different to compare, imho, though I admit I do have a favourite (I think most of us do).
Wishmaster is one of my favourite songs from back in the day, that and wish I had an angel and bless the child. I'm so glad you reacted to this song, Tarja shines a little extra in this one :)
Nice reaction am a old school Nightwish fan from 1999 so growded up in the setup and Tarja was a 5th instrument(in my view) in the band regardles a leadsinger! Also Toumas Tarja and Emppu formed Nightwish 1996 in highschool and has 5 albums up to 2005
The "End of an Era" DVD is great, "The Siren, "Sleeping Sun", "Phantom of the Opera", "Kinslayer", some nice songs to listen to.
If you want to check some good old Nightwish stuff, take a look at "From Wishes to Eternity" DVD, Tarja's voice was more mezzo-soprano and the band had a Power Metal-ish sound.
Some songs from that DVD: "Walking in the Air"; "Swanheart", "Sacrament of Wilderness", "Pharaoh Sails to Orion", "FantasMic" (in this song Tuomas stops playing to headbang and air guitar along with Tarja).
Nah, her voice was very much Light-Lyric Soprano in From Wishes to Eternity, she's Full-Lyric Soprano in End of an Era.
I love Tarja!!!
Thanks for not comparing because you're right...apples and oranges....I'm sick of the arguing etc. over the years....Great analysis, man, as always. Nightwish with Tarja got me into Symphonic Metal big time....because the first time I heard her sing (Nemo video) I got shivers and goose bumps and generally got reduced to an emotional wreck....hahahaha! Her solo work is also awesome....Her performance of 'Sleeping Sun' at the same concert is an art form.
WHOA WHOA WHOA WAIT A MINUTE.... I never noticed before but they just ended that song with a sample from The Trooper by Iron Maiden ... I love this song even more now !!!!
Been watching your videos, and I'm glad to see you react to the song my name comes from! I honestly don't recall many people reacting to Wishmaster but it was this show that made me a Nightwish fan for life. Still love them to this day!
In the old days I liked Nightwish despite Tarja. When Marko started as a bassist and male vocalist, I was happy to have something else than Tarja’s opera style. I never was big Anette fan but Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum are great albums. Floor is first female Nightwish vocalist I really like as singer.
Well, this was my first album/DVD and as someone who just love the music they create, I miss this, but love the band with Floor because she is like a return to the classical sound after the years with Annette. Love them both, but more than that, I love Nightwish
I agree with Mex Zavialov! Definitely "Siren" Also I love her accent!!! It's so cute and I think with her operatic voice well it helped put NW on the map. It's hard to hear any else sing these earlier songs even though I know that they sing it well.
Hey man! Keep rocking, your reviews are awesome!
The "tank facts" and notes are really cool.
Tarja is amazing. The very first song by Nightwish I've ever heard was Gethsemane, back in 1997, it's a fantastic song that isn't so great with Floor...
The Siren, Walking in the air, Phantom of the Opera and Planet Hell are awesome picks for Tarja.
And you should give Anette Olsen a try too. Go for Scaretale, studio version. Very unexpected.
Cheers from Brazil.
🎼I will not compare the two singers but i honestly choose what i long to hear over and over and absolutely hearing the old nightwish with tarja's voice as it gives me goosebumps🪔
The yellow mike and dress accents are holdover from a previous song in the set Phantom of the Opera, quintessential Tarja and Marco. Add Planet Hell for more Marco.
I discovered Nightwish shortly before Tarja left the band, so hearing this older stuff is so nostalgic. It's interesting how they've put out well over 100 songs across two decades, spanning genres from thrash metal to jazz to folk, and it ALL sounds like Nightwish. I think a lot of it comes from Tuomas's keyboard playing.
Anyway I suggested this one before but I'll suggest it again: Dark Chest of Wonders from End of an Era!
Trust me hearing nightwish back then vs now it's still the same to me simply epic and amazing story telling. Been hearing them since middle school and still amazed by every album.
When Tarja left the band she also left a huge hole in my heart which Annette didn't have the vocals to heal. I had followed them since the release of Wishmaster and suddenly I couldn't listen to a single Nightwish song without a deep and profound sense of sadness. When I discovered that they had replaced Anette with Floor I decided it was time to give them another go and not only was I finally able to listen to everything Tarja had ever done, but I've also been able to slowly dig into the studio albums from Anette. Floor healed my broken metal heart and I'm forever grateful. Now if only the stupid beer-bug would go away and let me go to the concert in Antwerp in November!
for me nightwish is nightwish with tarja and no one will ever change my mind. im happy you all like the new singers in nightwish but you cant take my memories and feelings away from me how it feelt when i first heard nightwish in the early 2000's to each their own.
The Trooper riff at the end is awesome.
If anyone's wondering what the song is about, it's about a book series called 'Dragonlance'. The 'Wishmaster' in question is Raistlin Majere, one of the protagonists of Dragonlance Chronicles (the first book trilogy) and later Dragonlance Legends (in which he becomes a kind of 'Anti-Villian' figure). The 'Apprentice' is Dalamar, a dark elf who assists his master in attaining ultimate power.
The lyrics follow the general plot of Legends, with some Lord of the Rings thrown in, but only a few references. For the most part, it's Dragonlance
Phantom of the Opera is a very good option from Tarja's era.
Plus they just uploaded it in a good quality video in their official channel
Nothing better than the OLD Nighwish. Now you have the answer to the question from an old fan.
I first heard them in 2000 when they had playd for like 3-4 yeras and "nobody" knew about them. First song I heard was Bless the child. And was blown away. Was really sad when T left the band. Has continued listening to them but not as passionate. F is a really awsome singer. But for me T will always be one step ahead. And that is because T's voice is much more different than other female vocalists in this genre.
And Tank, regarding the color of the mic, she also wore another outfit in the same color.
The Wishmaster album is in my top 3 favourite Nightwish albums. I love it so much.
Great job man!
Love how at the beginning The call of the mountain is playing in the background!!
I love eluveitie, I saw them whilst starting their career and playing in front of a 30People crowd.. and now they do world tour!!!
Of course I love nightwish too even thou, after all these years, I still don't know if I prefer tarja or floor.. but why choosing???? Just enjoy :)
This song has special significance for many Nightwish fans who entered during the dawn of UA-cam, as there was a "misheard lyrics" video called "Fishmaster" on here that parodied the difficulty of understanding Tarja's accent. The video was funny and sharable for easy laughs with your middle school buddies, like the Numa Numa Guy or Chocolate Rain... however, once you started going down the rabbit hole of Nightwish music videos like Nemo and Wish I Had An Angel, tons of us got hooked and I'm so glad we did.
To this day, I can't hear this song without mentally humming "Hamster... a dentist... hard porn, Steven Seagull..."
Jumping here 3 years later to mention that I am amazed how clean Tarja still sound with all that jumping and moving around. I mean you can hear it but still she comes of soooo strong. Imagine if she was holding her ground like Floor for power. Their style of delivery is so different. Love both so much.
I had the same problem like some others here.... i fell in love with Nightwish, when Tarja was the singer. It was so incredible, so outstanding, such an unbelievable combination of classic and metal these days. They made their Opus Maximus with "Once", and directly after that she left the band and my metal heart was broken. So I left Nightwish, too, and didn't follow their newer releases that intensive anymore. Although i noticed Floor as a great new entry to the line up, i was no more into the band. Of course she is a brillant singer and can sing all the classical Nightwish-Songs in a perfect way... BUT in my head and ear I always hear Tarja. It is not a question of better and worse, it is just the thing, with which voice you "grew up" in this outstanding band. For example "Ghost Love Score" IS Tarja, she gave soul, emotion and life to this song more than a decade ago, and I can't fade this out in my mind.
Nice work as usual mate. Love your reflection on "had I heard Tarja first".
I agree with you. They're not comparable. They're both great.
Formula 1 is great.... But a lot more stuff happens in just one lap at MotoGP than in a whole Formula 1 race.
I'm sure you got me now.
Big love from Spain... And keep'em coming. Good stuff.
Always loved the 'Trooper' outro for that song, they did several during the show. I know you heard it too from that pause at the end.
🤘🤘
Yeah, I heard it, but I assumed most everyone heard it too, and I honestly questioned myself right after I heard thinking “was that a nod to The Trooper or just something that sounded exactly like it.”
For more Tarja, You need to check Within Temptation - Paradise
Nightwish for me was only with Tarja ;) Of course Floor is also good, but its not the same if You knew them a lot earlier, thats my opinion ;) 🤘
her power metal days were astounding
Nice reaction! Other video's with Tarja: Planet Hell, Walking in the air. And High hopes is also great, with Marco's vocals!
I'm stoked to hear Sabaton in the background lol.
On their debut album "Angels Fall First" the male vocalist is Tuomas Holopainen. So he can actually sing too. 😅
Thanks for NOT comparing those two singers Tank! I can see that you have been on music business for a long time. Wise man gives credit to everyone. Especially Tarja deserves that because she is the origin of the band. One must never forget roots. Tarja, Anette and Floor, three different worlds. Each one league of their own and should be acknowledged for that too. Like you did. Greetings from Finland, the land of thousand lakes and even more heavy bands :-) Stay safe man!
Yes. Do „Nemo“ and „Wish I had an Angel“ with Tarja and live...
I was lucky enough to go to the Ontario show of this tour. It was my very first concert that I ever went to and when those first notes from this song hit its actually unreal. And her voice live is second to none. Thank you for reacting to them!
To answer your question regarding seeing this first with Tarja and than with Floor. I'm a NW fan for 20 years now, i've seen all three of the singers live. And i am one of the rare species of NW fans who likes all three of them. I do not compare them, i just say that NW is more than their current singer, it's the combination of all of this musicians that makes them great.
I saw Tarja live in 2006 or 2007 solo singing an old NW song (Passion and the opera) and it wasn't the same, it didn't sound like NW, their typical sound was missing. It wasn't bad, not at all.
And then while seeing them live with Anette for the first time i got that "Nightwish Vibe" again, even with a new singer.
I'm grateful for Floor, she can sing stuff from all NW albums, which is something Anette couldn't do - she was good as long as she sung her own stuff. Dark Passion Play is still my favorite album - simply good.
Also you should check out one of Anettes newer Projects The Dark Element. I recommend "The pallbearer walks alone" or "Songs the night sings".
I was introduced to Nightwish with Tarja, saw them live for the first time with Anette, and have had the pleasure of being front row with Floor. As a singer myself, I feel like no matter where you came in on this journey, you will fall in love. Not so much with the the singing (powerful though it is), but with the very essence of the band. They feed off each other with every song and you can tell they have true connection with each other. There were some bumps in the road, as with almost every music group ( they're human after all), but at the end of the day, the very spirit of Nightwish has never wavered. The Endless Forms Most Beautiful.
you couldnt have picked the better song to listen to Tarja for the first time,I think that Wishmaster is one of the songs that Tarja alone sings perfectly, I remember seeing it live and my mouth was open ...how the heck does she hit those notes? :O
A bit of warning here: if you search and find the misheard lyrics you can never unhear them :)
Lol, don't do it. Cannot be unseen!
Saw them like an hour after I watched this. Hahaha
Hamster!

10th man down... that was my favourite track in the tarja days! Ex gf of mine was a friend of hers.. apparently she was hard work 😂
Next "Phantom of the opera".
More Tarja: "Nemo", "Walking in the air" (ballad) or "Deep silent" (which is awesome by Floor, too)
Thank you for not comparing. I listened to Tarja growing up, I listen to Floor now, both are masters at their craft.
Over The Hills And Far Away is also a nice one, it has a unique vibe to it that I don't feel anymore. I love Floor's vocals since she was on After Forever, but I can't help but miss Tarja, cause I love her dark voice and the darker, more gothic, vibe that the band had back then. It's not about the skills, it's just when I think "Nightwish", I think Tarja.
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘😁✌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm an unabashed Floorshipper. That said I can appreciate the original works with Tarja, because without her in the making of the band we couldn't be where we are today. 😉
2:39 - Thank you! It wouldn't do justice to bóth of them, both Tarja and Floor (and Annette ofcourse)
I "met" Nightwish back in the days with Tarja and somehow she will always be part of Nightwish for me just because I heard so many songs with Tarja's sound. She had such a huge impact. After a few years I lost track of them so I missed the whole Annette era. Only a little while back I rediscovered them, and of course completely blown away by Floor. I am a huge fan of Floor, and although she NAILS all of the songs (no, I will NOT mention Ghost Love Score.... damn, there I was, trying so hard not to mention GLS, oh well) I still feel like Wishmaster really belongs to Tarja. Her eerie haunting sound is so perfect for this song. Does that mean she rules over Floor? No! Does the fact that Floor gives you goosebumps (No, I will NOT mention the F-word) during GLS mean she is better than Tarja? No. They deserve better than to be compared. This whole "battle" between Floor and Annette and Tarja takes away from the beauty that is Nightwish. It distracts from the wonder it brings us. The band as a whole does such a great job, with whomever is on stage. We have had the privilege to enjoy so many wonderfull singers and musicians all performing for US! Please stop wasting time comparing these wonderfull gifted people and start enjoying Nightwish for what it is.
Sleeping Sun,Nemo,Phantom of the opera,I wish i had an angel,End of all hope
Nightwish preluded by Eluveitie, epic. 🙌
this end of era is great concert. thanx to you going to the past and start looking old nightwish. this same concert have 2 killer song what tarja sing. phantom of the opera and the siren. the siren i like coz maybe siren voice is officially opera sound :) siren song have olso arab vibe in keyboard and tarja voice,marko sing also that song. ok thanx and have great day there.
I highly recommend you to listen to Tarja' solo music as well. It's not as metal as it was when she was in Nightwish, but the lyrics are so deep and amazing. Songs like Underneath, Die Alive, I Walk Alone, Anteroom Of Death and I Feel Immortal are some of my favourites.
The Siren and Planet Hell (Live end of an era) are great Tarja songs. I also recommend you "Ocean Soul" and "Come Cover Me" (Album versions) ;)
About the "retorical question" that you made on that video, I "meet" Nightwish with Tarja and I LOVE IT (and still love Tarja's solo carrer and everything) but I hate those fans who try to compare them. They have diferent styles, as you said, every one has their qualities and also I think that the band "evolved" adapting of their styles. One of the interesting things of Nightwish. But personaly I love Tarja's Era cause is more "classic"; Floor and Anette are less "symphonic" than Tarja (not a matter of judgind, just a style), and I love the opera "touch" of Tarja, but everyone can like what they want without disrespecting others
Nightwish - The kinslayer (end of an era) 👍👍👍
Great reaction 🤙
May I recommend Nightwish-Planet Hell live (end of an era) concert. Promise it'll blow your mind 🤯.
The yellow mic & stand will make more sense when you do Phantom of the Opera from the same show 😉😊
You should totally try Bless the child, it is what Nightwish whole sound around 2003 really was.
For a combination of nice soloes and Tarja‘s voice „Over the hills and far away“ is great.
Great reaction again! It is all Tuomas. Master and commander. It's not just a concert, it's a show and every small detail in the shows is carefully planned. As a side step, you might also check Floors' big moment of fame: her Phantom of the Opera at Dutch tv show Beste Zangers.
Thank you for your reaction Yes Tarja is as a symphonic metal goddess as Floor ! They are both unbelievable!! I can you recommend to react the poet and the pendulum. Live in London 2017 and The greatest show on earth 🤘🤘👍
This was the very first Nightwish song I ever heard allllllll the way back in high school (an undisclosed amount of years ago lmao). I still haven't caught up with all the music Floor has done with the band, though, but you're making me want to give it an honest chance (I know Floor from the Ayreon albums she's worked on, so I know I will love her). Also I'm TOTALLY digging these Pop-Up Video-type trivia bits. Like not only are you enthusiastic about the music, which is very fun to watch, but you also have interesting things to say and experience and knowledge to draw from when speaking about the music and the videos. LOVE IT!
Tarja has a direct line to my soul with her voice. That’s the only way I can put it. She hits me right in the feels, even when she’s rocking Muse or Peter Gabriel covers.
