Notice in the background, where Tuomas mouths 'Wow'! to Troy, after Floor's performance. They knew they had witnessed something special. Even after listening to Floor countless times, they are still impressed. As indeed, are we all! Floor is a once in a generation talent, imo.
This is the one song in Nightwish's catalog that makes this man cry. Being full aware of her vocal range and capabilities, especially in the operatics, while the original lyric video was a feast for the ears, witnessing Floor perform those operatics actually live during their live virtual event, it did bring me to tears and has brought the emotions out ever since.
It’s unbelievable how much emotion Floor can project with her voice. The ending of this song brings tears to my eyes every time. She truly is one of a kind! 🥰🥰🥰
BEAUTIFUL and POWERFUL Valkyrie Goddess !!!! I have witnessed this song up close and personal myself, and although I am a grown ass Metalhead, I was a sobbing mess at the end of it, and in total awe... to see this perfect woman. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘
When you see her live.....you really can't compare it what you hear on a computer......thought that i knew how she sounded live.....untill i heard her really live an that was mindblowing what a crystal clear powerhouse she is and greetings from the Netherlands
I recall hearing an interview with her where she was asked which is the most difficult song for her to perform. She said it was this one due to the range and breath control it takes. You'd never guess it watching and hearing how perfect she is with it!
We saw Nightwish live in the UK 2 nights in a row. It was sooooo EPIC, we all lost our tiny little minds. Floor kicks Ass whatever she sings. Thanks for another great reaction. Your goal is to see them live one day. Cheers
9:19 right at the end, I just LOVE how Tuomas said WOW to Troy, after that spectacular end of the song, another version that I really like is from their Hellfest concert, because of the lighting, the golden light showered Floor with its beautiful glow during the last part, Laudato Si Ad Astra and the way it was shot, made her look like a complete goddess
Hello again, redheadedneighbor. Carol, my wife of 43 years, got to see them perform live (including this song) in San Francisco at the historic Warfield Theatre on May 18th, 2022. Such an amazing and unforgettable evening. This band with our lovely Floor has become my favorite musical experience on the planet. Thank you, so much, for continuing to react to our beloved Nightwish with Floor performing live.
Many have answered the question. It is the LIVE experience. Every song is much harder and intense hearing them perform it live. One of the great joys of my life was seeing them in Los Angeles for a concert. Every song was pure METAL.
Greetings from the UK. I don't mind admitting it but this song brings me to tears every time and I am a guy in his mid 70's whe over the years has heard all the great female vocalists from the late great Janis Joplin onwards. Nothing compares to the force of nature that is the fabulous Floor . Long may she continue to grace us with her presence and performances . I genuinely feel sorry for folks who have not yet heard that fabulous voice
"...and on the eighth day he created Floor🌷 and cried from happiness,for he had created perfection". The moment she shows up I faint, and she hasn't even started singing. And I guess I'm not the only one😂 pffff🌷🔥😍❤
Gees after hearing this song more than 200x i teared up on those last high notes. Maybe the best focused shot of Floor in all her Operatic glory . Kudus to the guy that filmed this 💥💥💥
Fantastic and beautiful reaction, one of my favourites……I was at this Toronto show. The video doesn’t even do it justice. I was standing next to a stranger, but when Floor went operatic, we just looked at each other and said….WOW!
When I saw them about a week or so after this was recorded, I had just about the same view. What I can tell you is that them live is even better that what this phone recording can show. When you are there, every time Kai hits a drum, every chord that Emppu hits, every note floor sings it hits your chest and makes your entire being vibrate. It sounds absolutely perfect. I am man enough to admit, that after the show waiting to get out of the parking lot, I teared up as it was so emotional. Once you get to The Greatest Show on Earth (the last full song they play) you will see how emotional they can be..
Love your reaction 🤘 I’ve seen it live 4 times but can hardly remember anything. I just fade out when she starts singing, almost an religious experience. Truly the best singer and the best composer of all times🤘🤘
I was at the Montreal show the day after this one. This was one of the highlights of the set list for sure. They weren't sure that Floor would be able to pull this off live - but of course she nails it!! This concert was a very intimate venue in an old theatre of maybe 2000 people - it rocked!!
WOWWWWW WOOWWWWW that final...... goosebumps all over!! ❤❤❤Must be a great phone to capture this power......8:52 💯💯💯💯 And after that last note, she looks so beautiful and happy!
One of the newest concerts, Deichbrand, can be in the same sentence with Wacken, and they performed this song among crying audience. It's a sight to see/hear.
I concur. Deichbrand 2022 is a great example of todays Nightwish. People are all too stuck at Wacken 2013. The likes of Deichbrand 2022 and Buenos Aires 2018 are so much more nuanced performances. Someone really should do full concert reaction to Deichbrand..
Floor inhabits every song she sings. She is a full-body, immersive story teller. Her own empathy is transformed into a seductive display of pure emotion. She is the consummate performer !! (Yes, I'm in love!!). May I suggest Dead Boys Poem (live in Buenos Aires) ? It is my favourite Nightwish performance of all time, and a simply stunning song. I KNOW you will love it. :) Cheers from Australia.
I must APPLAUDE YOU! You are turning into one of the Nightwish Army now, red-headed girl :D You have already made your own decision to go outside the "Beathen path" and doing your OWN research! WHen you said you hoped it would be a phone recording so you could see the "Real" perfomances to see if they could manage to get it to sound good on an iphone, I actually yelled "YES! YOU GO GIRL!" because I was so excited to see a reactor deciding to do something completely different from everyone else. And to watch your pure joy... WELCOME!
Hey Red nice reaction ❤ I think Floor has mentioned that this is one of the more difficult songs to sing. Because the text does not have as natural flow as most other songs and it was a real challenge to make it sound effortless, not just throwing out words to a beat. And that last part...wow..I heard it live last spring and you just stand there amazed staring like a fool your with jaw on the floor. Love to see her happiness from the respons of the crowd, she is very down to earth and humble ❤

And it sounds EVEN BETTER IRL. I saw them live last summer in Stockholm - I was Floored.
So happy you did this version , i had sent the link to you for all the reasons you mentioned.....this is Nightwish live ...i love the guys scream at the end .
Yes.. they are THAT good live. Everytime. I wish we saw more of these good quality fan recordings as reactions, as ut shows just how flawless their shows are. And Floor hitting the ending casually effortless like its no big deal - just another tuesday at work.
Beautiful, hope you noticed "the sunrise" on stage during Floor's last run... If not look again... And of course Floor's genuine relief and pride that once again she brought it to an excellent ending..❤. We all love them some much..
Floor is just super lady singer. She sings with her soul and her heart. I always have tears in my eyes when she sing. I can`t help it and understand you very well.😍
Look at her working her diafragm during the 'Laudato' part, dear friends. Impressive work there, Floor! Seeing you so happy is very contagious, dear readheadedneighbor!
floor ones said that it take her time to get a new song in to her thick skull but when it is there she can pull it out anytime this is the proof she wearily struggled whit that ending and thomas had doubts about pulling it of live but floor just delivers the perfect replica live every time
when you watch this again Red watch Tuomas (the writer and keyboardist) say WOW after Floor was done singing.Song always bringa a tear to my eye.Toumas is a freaking genius
Hola hermosa Saludos de la Patagonia Argentina, me encantan tus reacciones , te comento que soy un fan de la buena musica y suelo ver tanto videos de artistas los oficiales pero tambien sus actuaciones en vivo porque me gusta mas ver su esencia sin tanta edicion en los vivos y tambien que se dice de el o lo mejor que se siente soy un fan de Nightwish y me estoy tambien convirtiendo en tu fan veo que le pones mucho amor a tus reacciones. besos y abrazos
Look at how Her corset moves in different parts, especially the belts! A slight clue, how professional sings. Whole body acts. Perfect technique!!!!!!! And The Voice!!!
As I said in my comment of the studio version. You have to SEE this live! I sometimes watch the live version without sound. Just looking at Floor when she prepares herself and singing the "Ad Astra" part. It's the best❤❤❤❤
Redheadedneighbor.... it's some much fun watching someone see Floor in the raw! Just a smartphone recording Floor doing what she does best...sing! Her voice is flawless...and I have multiple "Floorgasams" when I hear her sing! And yes...Tuomas' wife does speak the lines from Romeo and Juliet. Neat fact from my family...my late father was an acquaintance of Eugene Shoemaker's. He worked on so many top secret projects...no telling how many!
It is not even nine o''clock in the morning yet, and you coused my first Floorgasm of the day!! I can't help it. Those final notes from her and my tears run "horizontally" ..... I saw you barely kept it dry for " appearances" 😂🫣. I understand, the show must go on after all 😉. She indeed is a wonder. There are billions of people out there. But it is extremely unique that a singer can touch your soul like that. And at the same time staying herself, remaining humble and pleasant....I love her for that. Can't we use her as a not so secret weapon and sent her to a guy called Vladimir for instance? She will melt his heart. I know a couple of other candidates as well. It will turn this rock into a much more peaceful place. Thank you for sharing your emotions with the viewers. You are not alone. Greetings from the Netherlands.
No one else can bring such feminine beauty and vulnerability and empathy and emotion with the commanding presence and physical power and stamina to intensify it all.
Floor is a force of nature. The whole band are just simply brilliant live and that's that! Check out Tribal live you will love it!! That was Troy singing. If you do Harvest, Troy actually sings lead in that one. I'm not sure if there's a live version of it but there is a lyric video.
@@redheadedneighbor hi redhead, unfortunately this looks like a fan made video thus the poor quality, NW has much better versions : NIGHTWISH Shoemaker Pinkpop 2022 REMASTERED Nightwish - Hellfest 2022 - @arteconcert ( track #11)
Singing the "laudato" takes a lot of concentration - it's very technical, which is why she stands so still while doing it. Watch how her body tenses up after each breath... that physique has a lot to do with making her an earful as well as an eyeful.
Cool video. Now you need to hear a great live recording of this epic song. I was at the Nightwish show in May of 2022 and the entire audience was in tears at this ending vocal part. Live from Diechbrand Festival in Germany 2022. See link. It starts at 51.18 - The entire show is amazing. "Laudato Si". Praise be. "Ad Astra" - To the Stars. ua-cam.com/video/fHaBDZYOP0I/v-deo.html - Nightwish Live at Deichbrand Festival 2022
i always cry at the end of this song. you should listen to Floors operatic part at ad astra song. they played it at the end of the concerts and Floor is amazing. she holds the last note forever 🥰
What I've always loved about Nightwish since I found them (WAY too late.....sigh) is that there's always a vicious, violent beast on the stage with them, but it's rarely let fully off its leash....gently but tightly controlled, doing the bidding of superlative musicians. JEEEEEZ, but they're good.
Great reaction, I did say to only react to live performances from Nightwish! If I were you I’d go back to the general’s (Gabriel) list. The reason for this is you might go forward too far and then return to old songs, that won’t be the same excitement as you’ll have seen to far forward. Don’t forget Shoemaker is relatively new song, and you haven’t heard many of the older songs. Running with the list brings you forward with the band with Floor’s time! This is why our General gave you the list, to show you the way. Obviously it’s up to you? 😁🏴
Looking at the Goddess on stage, one could hardly imagine that SHE could be impressed by anyone, right? And yet, the whole reason she decided to front a metal band was another fantastic singer (and a redhead, incidentally :), the legendary Anneke van Giersbergen whom she saw perform in 1996. If you’re interested in the history of female-fronted metal (in the Netherlands specifically), check out a band called The Gathering some day. “Travel” or “On Most Surfaces” from their TG25 concert would be a good start, I think. Cheers!🤘
Hi, 74 years old hippie from the Netherlands =Floor, Irene, Simone, Anneke, Dianne & Arjen(Ayreon) Country= reporting in: Yes, I concur ... Go for "On Most Surfaces", "Travel" or "Waking Hour" (TG25: Live at Doornroosje). Shine on my dear Readhead ...
I know exactly what you mean by wishing you were in the audience. I cannot wait until NW start touring again. Great reaction. Keep up the great work. Greetings from the NW Army (Sydney AUstralia Division) 🇦🇺🤘
That looks so much like the concert I was at. I was literally in the same spot as this person was. I was 10 feet away from Floor. It was amazing. I hope they come back to the states soon.
Probably not the best live version of that song on UA-cam. But that said, this one brings me back to the 7 May 2022 (in Montreal), when i went to see Nightwish live; finally with Floor for the the first time. And Yes as always, i was again crying even before she pronounced her first 🤩🤩 "Laudato"😍😍!
Hi red,It's a epic song but, a fan phone recording is not really doing justice to this song,it's a kind of okay that you have somekind of perspective from the audience standpoint,but phones can't record the whole frequentie spectrum so,it makes it sound "flat", Hellfest or Deichbrand would have been the better option.😉
Just as much as I smile when I see Floor in this video, I just as much I cry when I watch the fan recorded video of Sleeping sun when Floor breaks down and cry. ua-cam.com/video/GZrSZeBpDKU/v-deo.html Gets me everytime
Greetings from Portugal! If you want to see and hear the writer and keyboardist of Nightwish and his wife Joanna, watch the video for the song "A lifetime of Adventures" from his solo album.
Yes, that is Tuomas' wife Johanna Kurkela doing the spoken word bit. She, Tuomas and Troy have another band called Auri that I'm sure you would really like. Here's their song Night 13: ua-cam.com/video/fYVmmWNskjs/v-deo.htmlsi=BefJ1Pkvrer-qnFR
apropos 'ad astra'. there is also track with a song with this name on the same album. and in the 'human nature' concerts the last years it was used as an outro. it is worth (and ear catching) to react to one of the best concert versions of that (some have an extra long end tone) ...
Nearly everyone thought this wouldn't be possible live, Floor proved them wrong, again! Toronto! A little bit of Troys head :) The "Floor Fan" centre stage. Yes, the energy, you can feel it even from a phone recording. I think Floor could have moved away from the mic, during Johannas Shakespeare quote (so as to not confuse us too much?) Floors reaction and smile, yeah. Ad Astra was used as the finale, for some recent shows, blows you away.
In the last couple decades, a non-pitch corrected performance has become a rarity in the main stream 'music biz'. Today's big stars seem to be all about glitz, choreography and marketing. The singing quality is almost an after thought. Singing that would not have been tolerated 20-30 years ago is now deemed good enough because it is "corrected" with pitch correction software and fixed in the studio before being released. Luckily there are still plenty of talented people... it is just that the music business (big record labels) don't promote new artists anymore. UA-cam is a way of self-promotion and channels like your's spreads the word. 😀
No pitch controll, no auto tune, this is the real deal!
Notice in the background, where Tuomas mouths 'Wow'! to Troy, after Floor's performance. They knew they had witnessed something special. Even after listening to Floor countless times, they are still impressed. As indeed, are we all! Floor is a once in a generation talent, imo.
i swear with headphones on i can hear him say it
Simple.....
GODDESS FLOOR = THE BEST SINGER IN THIS PLANET...
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WITH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL.
the best female singer of all time
@@johnsullivan8046 You Right !!!!

Ahhhhh the highlight of the day. You reacting to Nightwish. Suddenly it´s a good Monday. Thanks for that 🤘🤘❤
My pleasure!!
When you see her live.....you really can't compare it what you hear on a computer......thought that i knew how she sounded live.....untill i heard her really live an that was mindblowing what a crystal clear powerhouse she is and greetings from the Netherlands
Nice reaction !!
You can well see her breathing technic and how she fill her lungs in the opera part, impressive.
Always happy to see more Nightwish in the neighborhood.
Floor never disappoints, she always amazes me, and with ease. All the talent in the world, and just a super person.
Floor..the best front woman ever. She is also supernice. Love to have her here in Sweden.Thank you.❤

Don’t forget Shoemaker is relatively new song, and you haven’t heard many of the older songs. Running with the list brings you forward with the band with Floor’s time! This is why our General gave you the list, to show you the way. Obviously it’s up to you? 😁🏴
So that was our Valkyrie Queen.
Im also a Floor fan !!!!!
Center stage!
Looking at the Goddess on stage, one could hardly imagine that SHE could be impressed by anyone, right? And yet, the whole reason she decided to front a metal band was another fantastic singer (and a redhead, incidentally :), the legendary Anneke van Giersbergen whom she saw perform in 1996. If you’re interested in the history of female-fronted metal (in the Netherlands specifically), check out a band called The Gathering some day. “Travel” or “On Most Surfaces” from their TG25 concert would be a good start, I think. Cheers!🤘
Hi, 74 years old hippie from the Netherlands =Floor, Irene, Simone, Anneke, Dianne & Arjen(Ayreon) Country= reporting in:
Yes, I concur ... Go for "On Most Surfaces", "Travel" or "Waking Hour" (TG25: Live at Doornroosje). Shine on my dear Readhead ...
It seems like our Goddess sent shockwaves while unleashing all her power on us at the end! ❤
I know exactly what you mean by wishing you were in the audience. I cannot wait until NW start touring again. Great reaction. Keep up the great work. Greetings from the NW Army (Sydney AUstralia Division) 🇦🇺🤘
That looks so much like the concert I was at. I was literally in the same spot as this person was. I was 10 feet away from Floor. It was amazing. I hope they come back to the states soon.
Oh!! Cool!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Incredible, it sounds good even on a phone.
Yes, Johanna Kurkela, Tuomas' wife, recites the text from "Romeo & Juliet" 😃
Thanks for sharing
Probably not the best live version of that song on UA-cam. But that said, this one brings me back to the 7 May 2022 (in Montreal), when i went to see Nightwish live; finally with Floor for the the first time.
And Yes as always, i was again crying even before she pronounced her first 🤩🤩 "Laudato"😍😍!
Hi red,It's a epic song but, a fan phone recording is not really doing justice to this song,it's a kind of okay that you have somekind of perspective from the audience standpoint,but phones can't record the whole frequentie spectrum so,it makes it sound "flat", Hellfest or Deichbrand would have been the better option.😉
You see Tuomas' "Wow!" in the background at the end there. Even he's in awe of Floor, after all the performances they've done together!
Just as much as I smile when I see Floor in this video, I just as much I cry when I watch the fan recorded video of Sleeping sun when Floor breaks down and cry.

Gets me everytime
Greetings from Portugal! If you want to see and hear the writer and keyboardist of Nightwish and his wife Joanna, watch the video for the song "A lifetime of Adventures" from his solo album.
🇫🇮❤Every Nightwish song is ones favorite until one hears the next one.
Shakespeare's part in the middle of the song reads
redheadedneighbor's identical clone... Tuomas' wife Johanna Kurkela...
Yes, that is Tuomas' wife Johanna Kurkela doing the spoken word bit. She, Tuomas and Troy have another band called Auri that I'm sure you would really like. Here's their song Night 13: ua-cam.com/video/fYVmmWNskjs/v-deo.htmlsi=BefJ1Pkvrer-qnFR
I WAS Foored by the Red ❤❤ neighbour sunshine 🌞 ☀️ ❤
Floor is the queen of metal. All fans say that. She is so an amazing singer, the best on earth. Can you listen to Elan next?
Nightwish & Floor, they are giants in the studio, live they ascend to legends. Also, a good choice to react to the Toronto version.
Bonuspoints for you !! ❤
apropos 'ad astra'. there is also track with a song with this name on the same album. and in the 'human nature' concerts the last years it was used as an outro. it is worth (and ear catching) to react to one of the best concert versions of that (some have an extra long end tone) ...
Nearly everyone thought this wouldn't be possible live, Floor proved them wrong, again!
Toronto! A little bit of Troys head :)
The "Floor Fan" centre stage.
Yes, the energy, you can feel it even from a phone recording.
I think Floor could have moved away from the mic, during Johannas Shakespeare quote (so as to not confuse us too much?)
Floors reaction and smile, yeah.
Ad Astra was used as the finale, for some recent shows, blows you away.
❤ Great as ever ❤ Next one: Dead Boys Poem, Buenos Aires…
In the last couple decades, a non-pitch corrected performance has become a rarity in the main stream 'music biz'. Today's big stars seem to be all about glitz, choreography and marketing. The singing quality is almost an after thought. Singing that would not have been tolerated 20-30 years ago is now deemed good enough because it is "corrected" with pitch correction software and fixed in the studio before being released. Luckily there are still plenty of talented people... it is just that the music business (big record labels) don't promote new artists anymore. UA-cam is a way of self-promotion and channels like your's spreads the word. 😀
so beautiful.
Nightwish makes floor a worldstar . great command :) 🤘🤘🤘
we love Floor and NW. And wish them the best...hope they are fine.
