It's always a pleasure watching your reactions, especially to Nightwish and/or just Floor. Tuomas dedicated parts of this song from Nightwish's new album to Floor. E.g. "We met where the cliff greets the sea.. Shared a story, took the leap. Rose up rooted, hid a note. You know where.You`ve been there" refers to how Floor met her husband Hannes van Dahl, who is the drummer for the Swedish band Sabaton. And "Now there`s one who came from me. A child of light, another tale. Dear one" refers to Floor giving birth to their Freja daughter.
Shared a story,took the leap. This part referes to how Floor joined Nightwish. Shared a story (Floor’s first band After Forever was Nightwish support act in the European tour of 2002.), took the leap (From Europe to America where the band was touring when Anette left and Floor was flewn in as her replacement).

He had done session work, appeared in the official video for "The Islander", and did some touring previous to Floor joining the "Imaginaerum" tour in late 2012. Along with guitar, he specializes in Irish "Uilleann" bagpipes, tin whistles, Bouzouki & mandolin.
Love the way this performence brings out the teacher in you. You tell the listeners/students this is how it is done. You point out Floor´s technique. Great explanation.Great teaching example...Floor.
This is from the new album. Hvman::Natvre . Each song is awesome on it's own, but if you start from 'Music' and go on, it becomes a story. very cool, and there's so much technique, you can still tell on studio, plus you get lyrics. You really need to hear all three of them together on something live. There's a ton of 3 part harmony on the new album, and they went back and did some of their older music like that, but my fave with Troy ( not counting the new stuff ) is still a toss up between I Want My Tears Back at Wacken, and My Walden from Tampere. Great songs, and they always have so much fun. :) Love if you'd react to one of those sometime.
Ellen Hunt I definitely agree, the album has a story of its own. Quite rare. Normally I listen one to three songs from album. This is one that I want to listen rom the start to the end... incredible stuff in that sentense!
This track is from the new album. This acoustic performance is so intimate and emotional and the crescendo at the end is just mind blowing. Your demonstration of the open mouth technique is great. Floor is one of the best examples of it. Her mouth so huge (but beautiful of course).
I know you and your family have had a tough time recently, so I appreciate you doing this for us, especially with the emotional content of the song, Valerie. ❤️ I love the album version, but absolutely ADORE this one.
Thank you Valerie, so wonderfully done and with love and admiration. Apart from the sheer technical ability of Floor's voice, there is also a tone, an unknown element that somehow resonates with us and evokes emotions we sometimes didn't even know we had. Here's is a truly special gift as you have expressed to us on many occasions. Floor is truly a gift to us all, to Humanity as a whole, and that she is framed within the brilliance that is Nightwish as a whole,really a warmth and panacea for us all.
This version brings Blackmore's Night to mind, also Pentangle. Requires the guitarist to keep the tempo solid for the singer with the not so simple melody and rhytmic elements in it, e.g 5:47 Please react to Pentangle - Hunting Song live BBC with Jacqui McShee.
I knew you were gonna love it! The new album is very technical. Tuomas knows what she's capable off and he really challenged her for this album. But Floor loved it! From the new album I suggest you check out 'Shoemaker'. And if you wanna hear more from Troy, he did the lead vocals for one of the songs on the new album. the song is called 'Harvest'.
Omg, please you have to react to Nightwish's new album "Human :||: Nature". It would be so interesting to hear your opinion as a Voice teacher on it. If you do, they have videos published for all of them on YT. It's kind of a concept album so it does best to listen in order 🤗
Please react to the other acoustic cover they did for that same session for the song Nemo. Also their new album Human:Nature came out a few weeks ago and Floor does some vocal techniques that I have never heard before, so would be very curious to hear what a vocal coach thinks about it. The songs that are particularly interesting are Music, Shoemaker, Pan & Tribal.
Hi Valerie. I hope your doing well. You should listen to Shoemaker. Tribal. This is beautiful and so is the video. Shoemaker Floor said she had technical issues and slso the operatic part.
Very wonderful analysis and advice. You now need to check the recorded version. I think g=this will be the new folk song inserted into the set to replace "I Want My Tears Back". Well done Valerie. As usual. Be well and stay safe. Peace.
Beautiful song. I love it. Especially acoustic . The guitarist is Troy Donockley , He plays the folksy instruments in Nightwish . Uilleann pipes., Flutes , Accoustic guitar , Ect . Just look at Floor's posture while seated . The other song she sang like this was "SHALLOW" on Beste Zangers. Also worthwhile to listen to " Nightwish - Edema Ruh (Live at Baltic Princess Cruise) [HD] " ua-cam.com/video/g3fjBAhOXIM/v-deo.html
Hi Valerie! In case you didn't see my last comment: Devin Townsend is doing some quarantine concerts in order to donate it all. Since you like him so much I recommend you to do a reaction of. He has done two concerts so far, both posted here in UA-cam. I would like you to react to the Nightwish album as well if you want. Stay safe!
Thank you for this reaction, dear Valerie :). This song captures parts of my inner self - It rings a lot of bells. Language is one form of music. We will HAVE to come together - no borders or "kingdoms" any more - so the human race will be able to cope with problems of the future. It needs one world-language, playing "catch" with vast amounts of regional-languages. Together we are strongest.
@@tarmotyyri6733 That will be the next evolution of society ...but is unfortunate that during this cycle{12000 yrs} man has devolved into the dark side of selfishness ...The next cycle is upon us soon and to steal a phrase , these are the birth pangs of that new reality, it's not religion or political systems that are our salvation..but spirituality ...The truth of this has been hidden from the general "Us" for 5000 yrs ...Music is our guide and will be our collective cry to the universe . ..It is darkest before the dawn my friend ...Peace...
There are people dead right now because we don't close borders anymore. That's why we have this craziness now, you globalists let this spread as fast as possible and then freaked out as the worthless little totalitarians that you are.

Floor ( nightwish) is one of my favorite vocalists. In my top 6 still performing. My favorite female vocalist in the world is “ Park Ki Young” from Korea. She is so versatile that she can belt them with equal emotional impact , range and power in rock, pop, soul, jazz and classical ( opera). A few of my favorites that are worthy of reacting to: ( either privately or publicly) UA-cam: “I dreamt I dwelt in Marble Halls” ( 5:02 duration. A rare hidden gem that she performs the way it was intended to be performed : as an opera in English. Being a vocal coach you will be impressed. Anya’s Version is the standard but sung more as a ballad but Park Ki Young opera style takes you to church and beyond. Far better version. “ Nella Fantasia “ ( 4:08 duration. the best version ever and I’ve watched and listened to all the world class female vocalists perform this) But please don’t judge a vocalist by the number of requests you receive-altho your fans are usually right. But I’m a professional singer and most of my singing friends unanimously agree that Park Ki Young is currently the best female vocalist in the world. A few consider “Morissette, Floor, Diana Ankudinova and Sohyang as their favorites I concur. But what I’m trying to say is I believe Park Ki Young deserves far far more reactions than she has been receiving and I promise you and your subscribers who love the 5 other vocalists mentioned ( and I am among them) that you won’t be disappointed listening to a Park Ki Young song. Please start your Park Ki Young Journey with “ Nella Fantasia” ( click first vid 4:08) Then “ I dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls Park” ( 5:02). One of the rare ones performed by her in English and OMG OMG OMG. Then the rest. “goodbye a word that’s too short” ( click 5:08 one and her high notes are angelic and that last note... OMG!) “wound” ( emotionally impactful 5:57 duration ) “Hit hee Park Ki Young” (one of my all-time favorites 5:18 duration) Lonely Night ( one of a serious of “ Mask” performances that she won. Amazing vocal range. One in a million can sustain that last note. Click first version 4 : 10 duration) All love in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida. Al
I’d recommend the song Ghost Love Score live as it’ll give you a better sense of the bands normal sound, as well as seeing floor flex her full range a bit. She’s one of the most of the most flexible singers I’ve heard and it’s nothing short of brilliance.
Thank you very many! This is quite different than the album version but amazing. It is sad that they are singing in a bathroom or a metal container 😁😂😍. I am sorry to mention that.
I miss the proper terminology to describe this song, but it feels to me as if Floor runs an obstacle course with her voice in this one and manages to finish it without any setbacks.
Hi coach.. Can you reaction Dira Sugandi,Eka Deli and Lea Simanjuntak - Hilangnya Harapan(lost hope). This masterpiece Erwin Gutawa orchestra n they from Indonesia. Thx so much coach..
"You can drive a truck through it" For some reason that made me laugh probably more than it should have XD Very interesting tips! I recommend reacting to Shoemaker ua-cam.com/video/Rjp_DfvJimg/v-deo.html . Although it's a studio recording, Floor and the song in general are both breathtaking.
I missed this reaction of yours ...forgive me for being so late. I have to comment on your technical side. Your capture of the featured artist was extremely "tinny" and echo laden. Like you were playing it through a bad Bluetooth speaker and recording it with your laptop mic. Kind of distracting really. And I understand that audio recording and production is a carreer all of its own. This is intended as a constructive criticism. No offense intended.

At their new album Nightwish has 3 voices harmonizing. Floor, Marco and Troy. You should listen "Shoemaker".
Floortje! The songs are so much better when sung live.
You could check Troy on Nightwish's "I want my tears back" any version or "The Carpenter" Buenos Aires 2018. Such good songs.
This version brings Blackmore's Night to mind, also Pentangle. Requires the guitarist to keep the tempo solid for the singer with the not so simple melody and rhytmic elements in it, e.g 5:47
