#Nightwish #Reaction #FloorJansen
With that enthusiasm you can pause and rewind as often as you like
Hi, as I'm the first one to place a comment, I'd like to tell you to not stop smiling; cause you don't actually know how many broken soul you could mend as you enlighten their existence with the glow of your angelic smiling face.
I totally agree with your statement.
Yes! Your smile and your joy lightened a heavy day for me. Thank you!
Yup...agree
You really do have an Amazing smile. Very bright. More importantly, you have nothing but honesty and joy behind it. Keep smiling Bethany.
Coming across this reaction a year later and truly one of the most memorable experiences of my life was the American leg of this tour. I went to one of the shows just after Annette left, and knew nothing about Floor. Any reservations i had about them losing yet another female vocalist were gone the moment she began.
She was larger than life and just worked so well with the entire band, and she only got better through the show. I was hoping so hard that she would remain with the band after the tour was over, because she was still a temporary member at that point. Every time i see one of these reaction videos I'm brought back to that show and remember how almost overwhelming it all was. Floor is amazing.
I was at the Melbourne, Australia show of this same tour and had almost the same experience that you did. I went into it with a great deal of uncertainty and came out of it in love. One of the greatest concert experiences of my life.
@@user-gw5ul7hp6h did Kamelot tour with them in Australia? They ended our show with both bands singing one of the Nightwish songs together, which was also pretty awesome. Definitely the best show I've ever gone to, and I used to go to a lot of concerts. 😆
@@chuiduma no, Kamelot didn't come to Australia with them but Sabaton did and they blew my mind.
Bethany, there is nothing better I like more than watching a professional like yourself get that ear-to-ear “Floor Appreciation Grin”! Thanks
So true. It's so uplifting seeing a professional being captivated while analyzing a Floor's performance. Very nice :)
Yes this! And...your captivating smile is bringing light and love in de world, so keep going, especially with everything floor does (especially beste zangers!) because she is also bringing so much light to the world! And i can know because she is a twin flame like myself.
... a.k.a "Floorgasm"
Agreed. She is phenomenal.
Now we are lucky enough to have Bethanygasms !
Bethany, it was a real pleasure to watch you listen to each musical phrase several times, discovering diamonds and pearls at every step. As a child in a good cake shop :) I hope you return to Nightwish as soon as possible, be convinced that you will not regret it!
So true! Thanks, mate!
@gabriel bardac
What do you think? I think that she needs to react to Shoemaker (live at hellfest 2022). What an ending! Simply magical. Floor ❤️❤️❤️
@@robertowinter7713 I think that's a great suggestion 🤘
I must confess that never - out of all the reactions to Storytime I've seen sofar - have I enjoyed someone pausing & replaying like you just did. While the expressions on your face were a joy to behold in itself, your informed explanations really added to the experience. Wonderful the way you said "one more time", as if you were a kid, enjoying something the dull grown-ups told you you're not supposed to do.
Long story short: loved every second of your reaction. You amplified the joy that was manifest on stage on that magical evening at Wacken, where everything good in music came together. Now I'm gonna watch your reaction.. "one more time". Cheers from Amsterdam!
💯
I absolutely agree. So many reactors pause for the most irrelevant reasons. Her pauses add value.
@@rognuald9007 She takes the time to "smell the roses" as it were, and Floor's vocals are the most glorious garden to be appreciated.
That's because she had something of substance to say. I agree with you.
@@jeffk1482 And “We are here to care for the garden”🙂
Someone's caught the Floor Jansen bug 🤣🤣🤣 great reaction. Many more songs to get through, but if you want to hear what an absolute powerhouse this wonderful woman is in her upper chest register you should react to Everdream (also Live at Wacken 2013) next. You'll also get a very brief introduction to the vocal warrior that is Marko Hietala (bassist) in that one 😁
Yes, your next reaction "Ever Dream" and when you reacts to "The Poet and The pendulum" then you know why we love Nightwish. It is the perfect song. A master piece.
@@javiermarsilla Poet at Wembley is..... perfect!!
I concur!!!! (Both observations)
David is right! You will love this one, and once again be shocked and amazed how Floor and the amazing compositional talents of Tuomas are able to arrange a song that starts and slowly builds to a climactic and powerful ending. Even in this radio friendly Nightwish single from 2002.
Ohhh, yeeees!!!! Agreed.
Please Check Ever Dream from Wacken 2013
You will love it... We promise
Dear the Vocalyst, never mind the the pausing, that's what we are here for: an analysis of what's going on vocally. My favorite part was Floor's nonverbal ending, a gorgeous voice doing gorgeous things. A great reaction, and if I may say so an infectious smile😀.
Right?!? That non-lyric ending just makes the heart SOAR. And geeeeez, that last note? (Palpatine voice:) "UNLIMITED P O W E R !!!!"
And the same applies for going back in the song - it's always better to go back and show what you wanna stress, then just plainly talk about it. Great reaction! Thank you, Bethany!
The cry she puts in in the middle of that run is EVERYTHING
It's ok to gush on the Valkerie Queen, we all do ! I'm 63 and some stuff she sings brings tears to my eyes. How does that happen! How many singers can go from growling to full blown opera? She can!
Nine years later, yesterday 25 June 2022, she nailed Storytime again on Hellfast 2022 ( on UA-cam). For 25 year a great singer. And band of course.
I agree with everything. Let's not forget the songwriting level of Tuomas, the keyboarder. Astounding.
The “operatic” part after the interlude was originally sung by a choir (too difficult for the original singer Anette?)
Floor:”hold my beer…”
nah Floor: Hold my whiskey
@@floreaciprian9742 or: “Hold my sigar”🤓
C'mon comparing Anette and Floor ?!
If you want to hear her growl a bit more. Then checkout "Yours is an empty hope"
Listen careful in there when Marko sings
You will be amazed.
You should look up all 7 perfomances she did on the 2019 season of the Dutch show "Beste Zangers", Then you will see how versatile she is singing several styles of music. The most epic one is the Phantom of the Opera she did together with the actual Dutch Phantom artist Henk Poort.
I concur...
Hi Bethany! Just to be in agreement with roeloftooms comment: as part of the "Beste Zangers" series, Floor also performed a German operatic piece "Vilja-Lied --- Lied vom Waldmägdelein" by the composer Franz Lehár. She did this to honor professional Dutch opera singer Henk Poort. You can find it at ua-cam.com/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/v-deo.html. Also, as a fan of "belting", one of my favorites from the series is "Que Si Siente", sung in Spanish.
I believe she's already reacted to Phantom with Henk
@@davidellinsworth22 Hi David! Yes, I goofed. I have since gone back, and I see she has already done both "Phantom" and "Bobbino Caro". I have updated my comment to just refer to Vilja Lied. Thanks for the heads up!
I would also recommend her Live in Amsterdam videos here in UA-cam.
I don't think you should feel bad for pausing, or to talk even more about the technical things you notice. You're a voice teacher, after all. If people just want to watch someone make wow faces without any pausing or analysis, there are plenty of reaction channels that offer that. It's also so nice to see a voice teacher recognize all the little things that Floor does in her performances. She's amazing at using dynamics, vocal colors, phrasing, and vocal effects as tools to aid storytelling. She also mostly uses epiglottal twang in her belting and relatively little nasopharyngeal "twang", so her belts tend to be less super bright sounding than they are for a lot of singers (though she does occasionally use both when she feels a song moment calls for it). Keep up the good work!
I see her and her Brothers in Nightwish yesterday on Arte concert Livestream.(Hellfest). Only one word Breathtaking.
I did too, Ralf! Just amazing! Thanks to Arte btw.
@@hansv.d.hooven5232 Yep, yesterday was Breathtaking. In my opinion, one of the Performances from Nightwish i ever see. And Floors last note in Ad Astra. Only Wow. Yes, thanks to ARTE.
@@ralfmeyer9086 I agree, it was a performance of Wacken quality. As you said Breathtaking! Grüsse aus Hengelo NL.
@@hansv.d.hooven5232 Grüsse zurück in die Niederlande vom Dümmer See. Stay Safe friend🤘
@@ralfmeyer9086 Ralf, hast du Niederländisches Fernsehen? Floor wird gleich auftreten im Programm Ode an unsere Veteranen.. Ist auf NPO1. Ab 18.10 Uhr..
I just found your videos yesterday and can almost not stop watching them. Considering the NFL playoffs are on live, and I can come back any time to your videos is crazy.
And .... none of the songs at Wacken were written for Floor but for Tarja or Annette ....... if you didn't know that ..... well, she did an awesome job!
Btw. I liked your (big smile) reaction. Yes, you are awesome too 😉.
Btw2. When Floor was asked to step in halfway Nightwish's Tour in 2012, she had to learn the complete setlist in 48 hours (also a UA-cam video).
@@TheVocalyst Yes, she did. There are several documentaries (approx. 2 hours long) where Floor is telling how she got involved/being asked to help out the band during their US-tour when the second singer (Annette Olzon) had to go to the hospital with (I think) a severe flue. Floor got the phonecall from Tuomas on her sister’s weddingday and she sat the day after on the plane ….. learning the setlist in 48 hours!
I couldn't agree more with your comments. Two years ago anyone said get into heavy metal like yourself no not for me. If I'm honest I was being a bit snobbish. Then NIGHTWISH happens & my music world went NUTS.
I'm going with my wife to see NIGHTWISH at the NEC BIRMINGHAM IN NOVEMBER can't wait.
Me too matey. Been a long wait.
I'm going to their London concert. I can't wait.
Her stage presence, her stature! she is the whole package of a performer.
Every time Floor sings is a masterclass.
Love the fact that you called her smart. As I much as I have huge respect for her technique, her talent, her power, the thing I love th e most about her is what I would call her "sing-wise intelligence". She know the songs perfectly, not only the lyrics but their meaning, she know exactly what she's singing about, at every second of the song, which allow her to always pick into the vast amount of styles and technique she can use the one that's perfect for that phrase, that line, that word. Everything she does, every twist she puts, every time she had a little grit or a little operatic here and there, it serves a purpose, it serves the song, it serves her interpretation, she never showing off just for the sake of it, she does crazy things but she does them 'cause that helps her interpretation.
It's normal to pause on her music. There is a lot to talk about. I never get bored from your Floors' analysis.
Great analysis Bethany. I'm no vocalist, or coach, but 2 years ago i heard Nightwish for the 1st time, and Floor. Since then i have realised they are an amazing band and Floor is so special. She is without doubt my favourite ever female vocalist now, and for me alongside Freddie Mercury as the best ever. She is THE Valkyrie Goddess🤘🖤
Great reaction - it's always fun to watch someone discovering Nightwish and Floor for the first time. Your joy reminds us how we felt hearing them for the first time.
Next steps? Well I'd suggest Romanticide from the same concert, or Seven Days To The Wolves from Wembley in 2015. Both of these will show you Floor singing with Marko (the bassist) and that will give you a WHOLE other vocal feast to analyse, because he's a stunning singer in his own right. Other people with have other ideas of course, but it really doesn't matter 'cos you can't put a foot wrong with Nightwish. Have fun!
When it comes to Nightwish and Floor.....you can pause, give your insight, go back and play it again .... ALL DAY, were here for it .....that was incredible......there's so much too hear from Floor ....from Nightwish to her previous bands , solo, lockdown videos , guest appearances, beste zangers, sing meinen.......its like she never stops working.
But once again great reaction and i like that you wait awhile in between Nightwish reactions , instead of doing one after another, like some reactors do .....it gives us something to look foward too but dont take too long. l 😆
I love the way you catch those little nuances, which most of us miss, but know it affects us somehow, almost subliminaly.
Her voice seems far more real than many others, and so much variety.
Lovely reaction and analysis. Don't worry about the pausing. Your insights and knowledge are what I am here for. It helps me appreciate my favorite music even more. To hear her technique and artistry I recommend her acoustic performance of How's the Heart from the current album on Planet Rock. Just gorgeous. It is also on their current tour setlist. Maybe a double reaction with the lyric video from the album and the acoustic version?
I concur wholeheartedly. Definitely double reaction time!
I concur 100%!
The double reaction is a great idea!
Yes please do both. It will give you soo many chances to pause ! :)
second this comment! :)
Never gets old watching someone have their mind blown by Floor. Most versatile talented singer in the biz
do pause as much as you feel need... that is precisely what I, we I pressume, am here for. We know the fantastic talent you are facing, the music, the vocals... this is all about your reaction. And it is gorgeous. Please keep it up with Nightwish, you will not regret it.
"Your's is an empty hope" is one you will certainly enjoy!
I love the pausing and explanations on what you hear! It is why we listen to a voice expert. I really think you will love 'Shoemaker'. Floor does amazing things in that one.
Many bands have songwriters...but Nightwish has a COMPOSER !
You're journey just gets better with each new song. I've been on this ride with so many reactors, as a lot of us have and it never gets old, especially with someone (you) who actually has valid opinions and has an understanding of music and the emotions behind it. There are 2 kinds of reactors on this journey... those who chose to stare at their phone and use the music as background noise, and those who stare wondrously out the windows at the beautiful music landscapes, letting it all soak in. Enjoy the window seat.
Edit.. fyi, this is now the 3rd time I've watched this, and rewound every time you laughed.
I really like that!
@@jeffk1482 Thanks fella ☺️
totally agree.. love it when a "pro" gets Floored..
And you've barely scratched the surface of her abilities 🤘🤘🤘
Watching reaction videos to Nightwish and Floor has become one my favorite pastimes. The orchestration of the music, the precision of the instruments and then the vocals. I mean those vocals. They are absolute perfection.
Please check How's the Heart - acoustic version, Floor really shines there imo.
The moral is: Floor can sing what she wants, how she wants and when she wants ;-)
Very True.
Very true. When someone asks Floor, what can you sing, she answers "Yes"
another soul is taken by our valkyrie goddess. Floorgasms everywhere
I love the enthusiasm with which you discover the world of Floor and Nightwish. I can promise you that the band and also floor solo still have countless surprises in store for you.👍👏
I see all the comments took the words out of my mouth so ill just say this....More Nightwish and more professional gushing of Floor! hahah
Indeed, more Nightwish!
BUT, there is a songs from Nightwish, you need to prepare yourself beforehand by reading a background story of it. Like "Dead boy's poem" , "The poet and the pendulum" and "The Greatest show on Earth". Please put those on your list and prepare yourself first, it will be easier to you to understand a meaning of songs. :)
Dead Boy's Poem -> ua-cam.com/video/yPlL1qq5mJw/v-deo.html
The Poet and The Pendulum -> ua-cam.com/video/iEzZRMthhXU/v-deo.html
The Greatest Show on Earth -> ua-cam.com/video/hMaJtY0xG00/v-deo.html
Please, by all means pause away! I don't tune into Floor reactions to listen to the music but to learn more about why I am already so captivated by it. You are by far one of the best at doing that so I thank you, and look forward to the next one!
The go back girl the colors of her voice with the band is insane
Feel free to pause all you like...we know Floor is amazing, but having someone show just how amazing is wonderful to see
The songs at Wacken 2013 were written before Floor joined the band. She added a lot to several songs. That classical bit was originally a pre-recorded choir in the background. The end of Ghost Love Score wasn't even in the original. If you want to hear a gritty Floor with a little growling try 'Yours is an Empty Hope' live at Wembley. She recently kicked off a side solo career with two songs so far. I recommend 'Storm'. You can do the official music video or a live version at HLF8. This is not her Nightwish voice being used. The genre is called 'Floor' 😊🤘
I love your passion and your smiling is very nice. Very good reaction. That’s is the reason why we are here. Reactors knows exactly why Floor is out of this world, not just vocally, her stage-presence, her gestures, her smiling, her movements, her open arms (sort of inviting the audience). Not to forget TUOMAS, the poet and composer…and the whole band. You will get introduced to the second great singer in NW very soon.
If you liked this one, you’ll LOVE Everdream, from the same show.
alot of reactors pause to hear themselves talk but your pauses (which i loved) was from pure enjoyment and a knowledge to share with us. by the way you have an amazing smile.hope m ore NIGHTWISH is on the way
The best thing I took away from this reaction is that you possess the most perfect smile I have ever seen.
I love watching your smile getting wider when the video goes on :) Floor is an absolute genius
Love Jukka's part on the drums - what a showman!... then that operatic part and Emppu's guitar squeals!.... Great performance, great reaction!
Your face just lights up as you watch this amazing woman perform. You obviously recognize the talent that you've discovered ... a voice teacher's dream, an example that you can use to demonstrate the techniques you are teaching. Welcome to Nightwish ... stop listening to them at your own pleasure peril. Every song is an epic journey and are new and fresh, no repetition or derivative songs. Tuomas is the greatest composer of my lifetime, in my opinion. I know you're focused on the vocals, but you did mention aspects of the composition. You are watching six musical geniuses come together to create a collection of near perfect music. I have to laugh at your shy "one more time" ... as if you think we don't want to hear it again too!! hahahaha. New sub! Enjoy!
At 17:03, the "one more time" with those sparkling eyes ! Priceless. Thank you so much.
Like other's have said, we're here for the pausing. We've got drinks and maybe popcorn or other snacks. Take your time, pause, rewind, provide insightful perspectives or just headbang. Up to you: your channel and we're here for it.
Some reacters pause a lot, talk a lot, sometimes don't even rewind, you do all that, you rewind, many times, often... But what you say is interesting, and full of sense and knowledge, even for novices like me !! That's what makes your reactions so delicious, great music, discovered and analysed for us by someone who knows what she speaks about and how to tell it. Thank you !! 🙏
Hi Bethany, French Division of the Nightwish Army reporting here. Thanks for another perfectly lucid yet appreciative reaction. You clearly seem to enjoy your Nightwish & Floor ride so by all means keep going and keep us listening. I was wondering if you were familiar with Floor's participation in the live version of Epica ("Sancta Terra), because it is really worth your while, with Floor's friend Simone Simons singing in duett with her, plus band plus orchastra plus choir all perfectly blended.... knock yourself out and see you next time!
Continuing with my education on Nightwish! I’ve only heard a few songs but I am already hooked, and am ready for more! I really enjoyed your reaction, and the analysis you do really helps to appreciate the song even more. The beautiful smile you had and the joy you showed through the entire reaction was fun to see and made my day!
I think we have a new Nightwish fan 😁 Great reaction! Yes, she is captivating, as are you. Subscribed now. Keep exploring Nightwish! Ever Dream?
If you want to hear Floor put on a belting clinic I can recommend Ever Dream live at Wacken 2013
Great reaction! I stumbled onto Nightwish during Covid ...it's the only band I listen to. I feel lucky that I was able to see them live last month in NYC. What an amazing experience.
Pause and go back all you want. The enjoyment you project is addicting and I love it.
And the BAND........I love seeing how happy they are. and having Floor, why would they not be happy. This whole concert is nothing but smiles from all six members of the band.
Today was the first time I watched a video on your channel. I'm very glad I paid attention to it - quite by accident. There are so many reactions on UA-cam, but it's really hard to find something of value, something worth listening to... And you are definitely worth it, so I welcome you warmly Bethany! I have been a fan of Nightwish for many years and I know this song very well - I thought that everything about it has already been said and nothing new can be added. I was wrong - you pointed out details that I hadn't noticed myself and no one else mentioned. And that's the point - that's how I understand valuable reaction - thank you! So - please - never apologize for the breaks, because they are the value for which I watch such videos. It is what you say that is important - don't change it!
I rarely decide to subscribe to a channel after watching just one video. But - after listening to you I have no doubt - I found another valuable channel, so - you have a new subscriber! See you around!
NEVER a problem for Nightwish fans to pause, & rewind, If you pause you need to. I loved your reaction, we feel the joy too. An interesting fact is this was Floor’s first concert as a permanent member of the band, & it had not been announced yet. It was announced later in the year with the release of their newest album. She had replaced the bands 2nd singer in mid October, 2012, on a tour in the US. They called her, she had to learn this enormous set list in 48 hours. They did a documentary on this , called “Please Learn the Set List in 48hours”. She was just coming out of an extended period of a burn out, which she speaks to in interviews. She had her own band, was writing the music, lead singer, did about everything, when that happened. She is an amazing person, beyond the best singer to me in my lifetime, at least singing the music I love. If you want some Floor only, she did some great vocals on a TV Show, Beste Zangers.2019, which included a couple of versions of Shallow, & Phantom of the Opera, is a must hear.
I saw you did Phantom, enjoyed it.
'We'll see what happens today'. You got sucked in, again! 😀 No biggie, that's normal listening to Nightwish, and Floor. Resistance is futile, to quote a certain alien race. Don't worry about the pauses. It means you are going to point out things that most of us would probably miss, which is the point of reacting. If I want to listen to an uninterrupted performance, I just watch an official video. I came here to be informed and entertained, and I wasn't disappointed. Another great reaction. Oh, and I agree with others suggesting you check out Ever Dream. You will love it!
The whole nite wish band are just world class performers and the keyboard player writes most of this , that alone should blow ur mind .enjoyed
One of the best reactions i have seen, i loved your pauses and playing back, it's obvious how much you like this song...and Floor..🤟❤️
Pausing, going back once, twice, even three times is no problem if you do it for a good reason like you do. That's what you do when you analyze something! I've seen dozens of reactions to this performance, including many from vocal coaches, but you pointed out intresting things I've never heard before.
I also appreciate that even though vocals are your thing, you commented the band and the music as well. Good vocalists need good songs to sing and a good band to perform with. I like your positive attitude.
Great reaction / love it. Consider doing the entire Wacken 2013 show live. Her performance is soooo impressive…greetings from Denmark🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
That would be awesome.
oh it's really a pleasure to watch you enjoy Nightwish music with our vocal godess Floor Jansen; as a vocal coach you sure will appreciate the acoustic version of 'How's the heart' or the song 'Shoemaker' from the last album 'Human Nature. You can listen to the lyric video or they just did a real good LIVE performance at 'Hellfest' in France; you find it on YT.
Keep them coming. 🐺🐺😎😎
Literally was listening to this song while passing through the Rocky Mountains in Canmore Alberta - during a lightning storm, on about the same day this was posted. Hitting Floor’s operatic bridge, while lightning is flashing all around you - I highly recommend it!!!
Hi beth, awe is the only word that fits this singer & band from the composition from Tuomas to the skilful playing from all band members. Floor's voice is so free & wonderful & she is not afraid to let it fly & oh my word when she does its something to behold.
ah floor jansen she has so many ranges to her voice she can growl and all the rest she speaks 5 different languages oh and she loves whiskey and a cigar with her hubby when she is restin and chillinalso she is a vocal coach
Nightwish alongside Epica were discoveries that opened the door to Symphonic Metal and the depths of the genre for me... and I love Slipknot too, especially the Iowa album lol
Oh yes , pause all you want . This was just Brilliant ...
"I won't go back ... well, actually I will go back". I LOVE it when you do that. I keep returning to your reaction videos, they enlighten my day every single time.
when on 08:23 you've already used up all superlatives, Empuu acts as being tired, Tuomas stops playing, Jukka starts the rythm and the horns announce the Valkyrie Queen ... it's Epic. Your smile says it all, Bethany. Thx for your knowledgeable comments and the beautiful smile
Very nice analisys, i love this band..u need try ''Dead Boys Poem''live Decades...is a masterclass of voice, and very beautiful song for any ears
¡Gracias por reaccionar!. Esta es una canción que me emociona mucho y Floor la interpreta como las diosas.
your smile watching them is so nice, and please, pause all you want, I really appreciate the information you give about the techniques Floor uses. It helps a lot to someone who doesn't have great knowledge about this and just enjoys the band.
Also, can I selfishly ask you to react to "Ever Dream" wacken 2013? that one is probably my other favorite song from this spectacular concert besides this.
Beeethanyyyy! 🎶🎶 You´ve just schratched the surface of this wormhole! We need more 🥰🥰, greetings from Finland!
Never feel bad about pausing and going back, to hear something again or point something out. We are all here to get your insight into what is going on vocally.
I really think you would enjoy, Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean, live in Buenos Aires. Floor pulls off some powerful staccato notes in that one.
I watch people react to music I love because I love watching them fall in love with the thing I love too. It becomes a mutual experience. Seeing you fall in love with Floor specifically, and Nightwish as a whole, is the reason I watch stuff like this. No need to apologize!
Wow this was a blast to watch! Instant new subscriber here!
Floor is the journey and the destination.
Welcome to the family. Floor is amazing. Can't wait for you to do more Nightwish
Absolutely love the huge smiles as you go through the video!
From what I heard they went on just around midnight at the festival. I wonder if it is more challenging to perform this early in the morning with the level of energy the brought?!
love your joyfull reactions. thank you
There's a point in about the first verse where the camera pans to Emppu and he has this look on his face like, oh yeah! Look what we found! Tuomas also grinning madly, ..... like they couldn't wait to unleash this vocal beast on the 82,000 crowd!
It is satisfying to see someone appreciate Nightwish from the get go. Floor absolutely killed it at Wacken 2013, the whole band did! Beautiful music with near perfect execution. The magic of that night is historic in my opinion. The stamina to churn out each song so brilliantly is a feat that may never be duplicated.
Your enthousiasm is the reason I came to watch you again. ( and Nightwish of course)
Great commentary on Floor's amazing vocal tonality and musicality. Rewind as you need to my friend. We love your appreciation of this wonderful and unique composition. We are hear to listen to what you have to say regarding Floor's amazing technique as well as your comments on her wonderful and varied vocal timbres and colors. Loved it! Especially that big beautiful smile that started at the beginning and continued until the very ending!
Hope to see you again very soon.🙏
So much more to hear from Floor's vocal stylings and storytelling talents.
Your pauses are an enjoyment for us all? It makes us understand and appreciate this fantastic music even more. And above all your happy face is a delight to watch. So keep up your good work. Greetings from Amsterdam.😀
All of us vocal nerds get super excited listening to Floor, don't worry. We love that you love it. I wish I could sit down with you and just take you through my favorite performances personally, haha. I think that's the appeal of reaction videos in the first place, actually. The joy of watching someone experience something for the first time that you already love.
I personally love in that first verse how she goes from that sighing tone on "within a snowflake on his palm" and that snaps right back into piercing power with "Unframed by poetry, Canvas of Awe". And then the dramatic theater voice for "Lips that intoxicate"... she is really just all over the map. I enjoy watching you geek out over her
This is why we all love our queen! 💗👸 👍
babysteps in
few more things to explore there...
i like you genuinely enjoying this journey and i'm looking forward on the things to come, soon you will recognize floor isn't the only one who can sing in this band, this is gonna be fun :)
Thank you for doing another Floor/Nightwish reaction! I've been waiting for this. I love to hear professional singing teachers give me more information on some of the nuances of Floor's singing style. But I also agree that choosing exactly WHICH songs are best to review Floor's style is difficult, as part of her talent is to mix so many different styles between different songs. Hopefully, as time goes by,, you will have a chance to review some of Floor's SOLO efforts, which can be broken down into three categories: 1) the "Beste Zangers" series; 2) her solo recordings done from her home during Covid ("Adagio" of Lara Fabian, "Alone" of Heart, "Oblivion" from the movie with Tom Cruise, "Let It Go" from the movie "Frozen"); and 3) the recent "Sing Meinen Song" TV special from Germany. (Also Floor has recently released two solo efforts: "Fire" and "Storm").
With the greatest of respect (hey, everybody gets to put in at least ONE request!), may I beseechingly request the first song from the "Sing Meinen Song" series: the cover of singer Clueso called "Zu Schnell Vorbei" (in English: "Over Too Quickly"). It's not available on UA-cam but only on VOX: see www.vox.de/cms/sing-meinen-song-clueso-hit-als-metal-song-damit-blaest-nightwish-frontfrau-floor-jansen-alle-weg-4959246.html. It is a great technical performance by Floor, with a great ending where all the singers hug and kiss one another at the success of Floor's performance --- a really joyous celebration of the craft of singing for singing's sake! I'm sure you will love it!
Floor's "Zu Schnell Vorbei" version can be found on the Odysee channel of Jenniezelf, Dutchie translator who also has a YT channel here. It has English subtitles embedded. A lot of things that YT blocks can be found on her Odysee channel. Cheers from Amsterdam!
Always extra enjoyable watching Vocal teachers/experts loving Floor like we do and admiring the talents of the Valkyrie Queen.
