Hello Psyche Thompson ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome [BACK] to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air (Germany) in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. As I could find, you already reacted several months ago to the "Phantom Of The Opera" (live 2005) performance, with their 1st female singer, Tarja Turunen - but for some reasons the comments are closed there. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and NOT as something mandatory): "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ua-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/v-deo.html "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ua-cam.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/v-deo.html "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ua-cam.com/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/v-deo.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) ua-cam.com/video/lQu5QjidHWg/v-deo.html "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) ua-cam.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/v-deo.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) ua-cam.com/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/v-deo.html "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ua-cam.com/video/05eitd-EA6I/v-deo.html "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) ua-cam.com/video/OvOD6xecph4/v-deo.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) ua-cam.com/video/knqeI807ZlY/v-deo.html "Sleeping Sun" live at Vizovice Masters of Rock festival 2016 (ballad) ua-cam.com/video/pVPTUEW1PEM/v-deo.html "The Islander" live at Tampere 2015 (Marco in charge..) ua-cam.com/video/Zo8ncK_5kzc/v-deo.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) ua-cam.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/v-deo.html "Alpenglow" live at Wembley 2015 (uplifting / metal) ua-cam.com/video/FrJvKZNEh7g/v-deo.html "Sahara" live at Tampa 2016 (middle eastern vibe) ua-cam.com/video/lTvYfLa4Wlk/v-deo.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ua-cam.com/video/wA44tjaP5n0/v-deo.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ua-cam.com/video/t26r_vAYQ0Q/v-deo.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) ua-cam.com/video/AN239Pbqbjo/v-deo.html "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) ua-cam.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/v-deo.html And if you want to be surprised by Floor's vocals :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 ua-cam.com/video/DuwY1d-KIss/v-deo.html @Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or this version of the whole concert: ua-cam.com/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/v-deo.html Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)

Hello Gabriel - I hope your Sunday is going well - not sure where you are in the world, whether you behind or in front in hours, but which ever way, I hope Sunday will be good for you. You are the FIRST ever to get a response from me to an email like this as I do not like them at all and usually delete marketing as I won't be forced or coerced into anything., especially as they don't pay me to play stuff they they get bonuses for and all the revenue goes to the record company. But I liked your intro and style as I'm good at reading between the lines - really nice Gabriel (and I adore the name Gabriel). I've worked with may BIG stars in my career and know many so I understand talent. To me, this performance was second to none in my opinion and I actually take what I do very seriously because of my background in media - and for keeping 'demurely' quiet and respectful about things in the media, hence I am respected for that in the industry. I will use your list as my guide. Please note I play many genres as I have no prejudices and like many things, but want to highlight REAL talent to the masses and it seems to be paying off when things that I play being picked up all over the World - comments as proof and dealings with Google and You Tube directly. Many play these videos purely for views, I play them for inclusivity, education and teaching people to broaden their minds as to what is out there, and views help too. I will be widening the channel to not just be constrained by Reactions as everyone seems to want to to it now and it dilutes the actual process into a comedy show sometimes, which is not me at all. Interviews etc. will hopefully come too soon. Check out my Community Page or Google me so you have some prospective. Most channels don't have the exposure on Google like myself, so I am actually the real deal and people take note of what I say, because I am genuine, and as said I really DO care and respect the work put before me. Also please advise that copyright will not be a problem with the links you have submitted, as I am not going to fight for that. Have a wonderful day Gabriel and thank you. Psyche aka Psyche Thompson - Amazing Woman Of The Year UK (Awarded finalist). 🌹
@@psycheinc-theSLC Please note that I have read your answer a few times to understand it in depth, since English is not my native language. Thank you for your elegant answer. I'm from Romania (GMT +2), I'm 54 years old and I have a job in IT (9-18), so I'm just a fan. No business connection with Nightwish, of any kind. But they changed my life for the better with the optimistic energy of their music, me and many other fans around the world. There are people who have found support in their music in the fight against illness, physical or mental, as well as strong emotional support in the face of life's trials. I guess what I do can be called marketing (I've been told that a few times before), and I admit I'd be happy to see them as popular as the Beatles, for example. But I'd be just as happy if you didn't consider this a reason to have other reactions to Nightwish, but decided to listen to their music just for you. Please do not consider yourself obliged in any way by my approach. In an increasingly uncertain world, they have iconic lyrics that remind us of who we are, such as "Fear is a choice you embrace." For me, that matters. I hope we meet again. All the best from Romania!
Floor.. turned this song into a Tour de Force. She uses all her Technique & Style to SLAY. Legendary performance! She's become my Favorite Female Singer..and I've heard them All.
@@psycheinc-theSLC well may you have the happiest of all birthday's and may The Lord shower is His blessings on you like a spring rain! Here's to more🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂
Nightwish Army Texas Division reporting for duty. Welcome to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. Finnish symphonic metal at its best. This is just the tip of the iceberg. This band’s genius and talent will continue to surprise you. I won’t suggest specific songs, but recommend you start with live performances with Floor as lead singer for a little while, then you could expand to others. Enjoy your Nightwish journey. I definitely have.
A road that can take you down many paths, but they all lead to enjoyment. I am a recent traveler on this path also. Nightwish is a collection of great talent and has been for some time, don't neglect their other amazing singers who brought their own talents, resist comparisons and opt for the experience. Floor is of course Floor and she is another path to a hidden realm, but that realm has many entrances and crossing paths. I recommend her appearance with Epica Sancta Terra to show just how wide part of that realm is.
Thank you very much Thim, much appreciated. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on the next journey Don't forget to watch my Nightwish Film Mashup which I did a few days ago..I mentioned that was my dream in my review and I made it a reality 🙋🏽♀️🌹
Nightwish Army Italian Division reporting. I know, this song is like a roller coaster. Nice reaction, welcome in the NW family and I hope you enjoyed your first "Floorgasm" ;-)
This band!! I played this for a couple of my sisters on big screen about two years ago. Each of them just went to the level of amazement I first had with this song. You can’t turn away even if it’s almost crazy to remain. 🔥
I have watched this at least 300 times & I tear up often seeing others experience the wonder of this performance. The end is always a joy, a celebration of music & the human spirit. It is pure positivity & always leaves me feeling good. :)
From what I have seen thus far Jim - I think I would have to agree - 'sublime' work in my opinion. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone of this thread! Love Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Welcome to Nighwish. Toumas the keyboardist is the genius behind pretty much all of Nighwish music. When you get to hear more, I believe you will become to appreciate just how professionally talented everyone is in this band and that Tuomas is right up there with the best composers that have ever lived. Nighwish are not a band they are an experience 😎😌
LOVED your reaction and ending commentary on this musical masterpiece!!!! Nightwish and Floor Jansen have been my FAVORITE band and singer since I discovered them 3years ago seeing that here in America we don't have Symphonic Metal played at ALL so I was taken for a RIDE when I first heard this!!!! Floor's voice gives me the feels like NO other singer has in YEARS!!!! My passion for music was ignited again thanks to Nightwish's Symphonic elements and Operatic elements mixed with Metal, SO AWESOME!!! I truly hope you enjoy more from this VERY SPECIAL group of talented musicians and artists!!!! Hugs from Florida, USA
What beautiful comments. Thank you so much No One - I truly appreciate them. Have a wonderful Wednesday, keep safe, healthy and above all, happy. Psyche 🌹
Ghost Love Score has 17 changes :) You have dicovered the best symphonic metal band in the world. All the musicans are very talented! The arragements are from the keyboarder Tuomas Holopainen. He is a modern Mozart and Floor Jansen are the Valkyre godness, she can sing everything! I wish you much fun discovering the path of Nightwish :)
All Nightwish songs are different from each other with surprises within each. They take you on a journey. In your search for their songs to react to be aware that they have had three lead singers since 1996. Floor became an official member in 2013. So, if you're looking for more Floor songs keep that in mind. She is my favorite all time singer and I've been around for 78 years. Only two of their songs require some research before reacting to understand the context. In a nutshell, The Greatest Show on Earth is about evolution (Tampere) and The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley), which is very personal to Tuomas founder/composer/keyboards. The song is about the deep depression he went into because of the huge fan backlash after he fired the first singer in the band. Both these songs plus GLS make up an epic trifecta. 😊🤘
You've been around for 78 years? and your profile name is Skeeze Smith? - Lovely ☺️. Thanks for the information, much appreciated. Have a wonderful Sunday Skeeze - Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
@@psycheinc-theSLC Thank you for those wonderful emojis they are as beautiful as you are. I hope you will React to Lucy here on your youtube page. She deserves as much publicity as we can give her.
Floor Jansen the Queen of metal ❤️is a classically trained and a professional voice coach with at least 20 years experience and can do anything from death metal growling to high opera notes and different styles and languages, her previous bands After Forever, Northward and Revamp and she was also featured in several Ayreon performances and a Dutch reality show beste zangers in 2019 and 2021, she is married to the drummer of the band Sabaton, awesome 😎
Hello J C - thank you so much for the background information, I really do appreciate it and many people do read the comments so informative and educational as well as fun! Have a great Sunday and coming week. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️✨🌹
Hey Psyche Inc. So nice to see your enthusiastic reaction. That's what Nightwish does to us, goosebumbs, shivers and yes, they are all very talented artists. Everyone of them. Tuomas , the keyboardist is the composer and he really makes these songs sound so good. Every song has a story which they are based on. When you listen a few of their songs you'll find out what kind of exciting and amazing world you have stepped in. Wellcome to the world of Nightwish. More Nightwish. Yes, please.
Thank you for taking the time to comment Risto - much appreciated. Yes I will do more as 'I' like them. This was a marvellous lesson in how to put on a show that encapsulates everything that talent is supposed to be - something lacking these days if to be honest! Have a wonderful weekend and may it be fabulous! Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
Fellow Brit here. If you were looking for a journey - then you have found it!! Welcome to the Nightwish 'journey', (actually, we call it the rabbit-hole), and I can see that your interested has been piqued by this first reaction! You will be inundated with countless watches and 'likes', but please wait for Gabriel Bardac's welcoming DM. He is the Nightwish Army' spokesperson, and he will lead you safely down the hole where Alice once fell. Enjoy yourself, and prepare for your life to be changed forever :-)
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Hello Psyche Thompson Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. And they make Symphonic Metal. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion. Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Hello Frenk - yes I've seen the Night Wish army - and would you believe I have probably responded to 99% of them - that should show you for the outset that I am different to every channel! Anyhow, thank you very much for your comments and for stopping by - and yes Gabriel has been in touch! Happy Sunday and coming week. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division checking in on your reaction and I must admit I could not tell what you were feeling till the end I thought you were stunned by it for awhile , Floor Jansen is the worlds most versatile singer on the planet but most of all the Keyboard player is the founder & composer of Nightwish and his nick name is the Metal Mozart . your going to love his composing and song writing skills
Hello Robert thank you for our comments, much appreciated. I'm a professional in the media world, so I tend to watch everything then comment as I take the talent before me very seriously! There are a lot of reaction channels that do it for views, money, subs etc which is important, but I delve a bit deeper as my background IS media and not make this journey a comedy show, unless that is the content. Check out other videos that I do, it's the same, and that's why I have real backers and subscribers because they appreciate the style of the acts that I am watching with dignity in taking the time to absorb everything. What I saw in this video was beyond 'outstanding' but I will critique things as I progress. "Metal Mozart' - sublime ❤️. Have a wonderful Sunday and coming week Robert. Psyche
Take it at your own pace lovely lady. Whatever you choose, we will be watching. We call it symphonic metal, because of the orchestra instruments and the choirs. Nightwish is an epic journey and are extremely good at song arrangements and also a little touch of Musical Theater. Hope to see you again very soon. Be well Psyche! 💖🙏💎☝🥂🥂
I am 44 years old; and I only discovered this amazing group around 3 years ago now... they've since become one of my absolute favorite bands of all time. "Song of Myself" from this same concert is now my favorite song, it replaced Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar"... So good!
Hey Woman of the year, nice reaction. Nightwish is such a good band and Floor Jansen is for me and many others the most versatile singer in the world. Welcome in the beautiful world of Nightwish. It will enrich your live. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Hey Piet - thank you so much for your lovely comment - it made me smile - It's actually 'Amazing' Woman..blah blah blah - 😂😂 but I don't put that as there's no room! Anyhow thank you for checking in and for your lovely comment. I love Holland/Netherlands - went there when I was 8 - just one of the most beautiful countries in the World!❤️ Have a wonderful weekend. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Great reaction!. You haven't even scratched the surface yet. Welcome to the rabbit hole! I know Gabriel already sent you The Nightwish army's battle plans. Every song they do is different however unmistakably Nightwish. I hope to see you react to more of them!
Thank you for this awesome reaction. Metal music is one of the most diverse genres. It has many subgenres and this here is symphonic metal. The genre is known for it's arrangements, due to the classical elements that comes with. A band might even come with a symphonic orchestra in some bigger venues. Nightwish is one of the bands that defined the genre in the early 90's, with bands like Epica, Within Temptation or Therion. There are more songs with this caliber, so enjoy the journey.
Hello Kai (what a beautiful name x) thank you for taking the time to check in - much appreciated. Great comments too. Have a marvellous weekend - be good, if not, be bad to the MAX! ☺️. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Nightwish Army Chilean Division reporting and giving Like. Waiting for Nightwish in concert on October here! Welcome to the Symphonic Metal, it's a huge world full of vituous musicians, great bands, and a lot of emotions, where every song is not only a song, it's a journey... it's an experience.
OOh I bet you cannot wait for that! WOW - if I'm still here you need to check back in and tell us your experience and if you get footage let me see it so everyone can enjoy it. Thank you very much Claudio for 'reporting' in. Have a wonderful Sunday. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Hello Ian - happy Saturday! Thank you for your comments. I don't need headphones - I don't follow the crowd and do my own thing and my ears are just fine hearing what I hear ☺️. Have a wonderful weekend, keep safe, healthy and above all, happy! Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
@@psycheinc-theSLC Hi again it was just a thought but I respect your preferences. Thankyou for your reply. Keep on this journey and you will not be disappointed listening to Floor on her own or with Nightwish. Keep safe. Kind regards Ian
@@psycheinc-theSLC I did like and subscribe because I saw you were absolutely captivated! But I think you are not quite understanding Ian here. It is not about your perception of the music, but about ours. Using headphones is mandatory. You need to mix the original UA-cam audio with your own audio. Under no circumstances can you use a microphone to record a loudspeaker. The microphone does not have a flat frequency reponse, the speakers do not have a flat frequency response, and your room is also influencing the sound as well. Usually this results in a very tinny sound. Your audio is somewhat better, but not as good as the people who use headphones. I have attended more than a dozen Nightwish shows in six countries on three continents. But the Amsterdam shows in 2015 were top of the bill, mostly because I was in the sweet spot acoustically. The gutpounding feeling of the double bass drums and the bass guitar, all the extra instrumentation, and that glorious voice soaring above it all was lifechanging. There is no DVD that can reproduce this. Most home systems cannot even reproduce what is on the DVD. Your reaction is to a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy. I did like it, but mostly because of you.
@@franshinlopen2166 Thank you for your reply Frans much appreciated. However as you ALL know the songs a million times over I don't need to wear headphones and I won't wear headphones as its NOT mandatory and if so to whom? Not to me. My ears can hear it well enough thank you. And if people don't find it loud enough they can download the track or watch it on another channel with people wearing headphones. Most people wear them for sound but more importantly optics, but I'm not a sheep nor a DJ. My rules, my way. You don't pay me to do this or for my time and effort. You already know the songs so the reaction videos are about the person reacting to what they see and hear. If I'm not giving you the sound you want then I understand if you choose to go which is fine as my subscribers come from all walks and genres of life and they don't watch to see if I'm going to wear headphones - No one is going to tell me what I should or shouldn't do on my channel. I'm not a sheep and I do not follow the crowd but carve my own way and happy to do so even if it means I'm on my own as I stand by my integrity and convictions and not lectured by someone whose not doing the work or paying me! And I can assure you that Floor would appreciate my stance 100%. My channel, my way. Also this is about MY feelings to what I see that's what people subscribe to. Some channels wear headphones but their reacting doesn't match the optics! Also subscribers don't make a channel or pay for them either as we get paid nothing as the revenue goes to the artists and record company. So people should be appreciative of what is shown. Most channels have Patreon, donations etc. Here I only request the odd cup oif ☕ which is a small price to pay for the amount of work I do for free so you can all watch for free and I'm a very busy person! let's see how many people are willing to do that, but a 'virtual coffee'! On my channel I am 'trying' to showcase talent the right way so that more people can then go off and do their own research if they liked what they initally heard and download the tracks. That's how I run MY channel. And 'I' chose to show Night Wish not pushed by marketing! But I thank you again for your comments, as said I appreciate it very much and thank you for taking the time to watch it. What is ironic is in your last sentence you said you watched it because of me -and that's my point. Have a great Sunday Frans. Psyche 🌹
Psyche, welcome from Connecticut. Great reaction I loved it. I had tears in my eyes watching you. Great emotions. The best first reaction I have seen. You listened to the music and let it play through without interruptions. Nightwish is incredible and Floor is the Valkyrie Goddess. I have subscribed, and i am looking forward to watching more of your reactions. I hope you continue the Nightwish journey.
So refreshing to hear MELODY again in music. Sure beats the minimalist 3 note formula crap that tries to pass as music these days. Tuomas is a genius and Floor brings his composition and passion to life! What an epic performance...No autotune crap...just PURE TALENT!
Nightwish army Sargent (Wisconsin division) reporting in. Love the reaction! Just wait until you here Floors solo covers!! Amazing. A good cover to check out is "Shallow" (lady gaga's song). Floor made it her own!
Thank you Aries (what a nice profile name) but I won't be hearing it for a while as I'm a very busy woman and my list, which everyone is trying to squeeze on to, is a year long! Nightwish is coming in about 20 minutes - you're the first to know! Have a lovely evening. 🙋🏽♀️🌹
New subscriber here... you won me in the first 15 seconds of the song. I've listened to this spectacular song probably ten thousand times over the last 15 years, even having the honor of seeing it live, and it never gets old watching a new friend experience that same flush of emotions for the first time! It helps us to relive our own first time! Loved your reaction and your style. I'm looking forward to sharing your journey down the wide and deep and beautiful rabbit hole that is Nightwish and Floor Jansen! Welcome to the Nightwish Army!
FLOOR JANSEN - BESTE ZANGERS This is not a competition. The program is made for Dutch TV. The idea behind the show is that they invite 7 vocalist from different genre's and each episode one of them is at the center of attention. The other vocalist will either perform a song from the artist or sing a song that has a special meaning to them. That changed radically after this show aired. The woman is ridiculously versatile. She can literally sing any song in any style she likes If you to want to look into her pick any song of the show, it really does not matter all them are brilliant. As recommendation i would pick her version of the Lady Gaga song called "Shallow" ua-cam.com/video/M68pe4a_9zk/v-deo.html
Hello Ronald - thank you very much for your comments - much appreciated. My schedule, as I am sure you can imagine is ridiculously busy and tight, but I will try and view this in my personal time - thank you very much for sending the link. I also know of the programme. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks again! Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
welcome to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band, their live performances are some of the things that come so close to epic that they get to be mythical and of course Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive). this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream" this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
Hello sonosoloio thank you very much for taking the time to write your comments which have been noted and appreciated. The one thing I loved, which you said was 'EPIC' - that's it in a nutshell! Have a wonderful weekend and may it be everything you wish it to be. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Welcome to Nightwish there's always room on the Nightwish train for new reactors. Hope you continue your journey. Thank you for your reaction. A shorter nice song about an Eclipse called Sleeping sun worth a look.
I listen to this masterpiece of symphonic rock 100+ times, with every new reaction video. I always put a like, but here is a real great reaction! Greetings from Romania :)

What a reaction! Thank you! This is only one of Nightwish masterpieces, I´m sure Nightwish army would like to see you watch more of NW music. Tuomas with his keyboard is the man. Tuomas is the mastermind genius behind this music. I hope you will continue, at some point, on this joyful path of Nightwish music. Any song from This Wacken 2013 concert will do, they all are different and incredible. Greets from Finland. Stay safe.
Hello Pen - lovely comment - bless you, and thank you for taking the time to write it. Yes I will continue.... Have a wonderful weekend and make sure you enjoy yourself - remember, you are 'special' never let anyone tell you different! Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 The merge of symphony music with metal music, are mostly done successfully by European artists - and only from the absolute top shelf. It's often composed in chapters, and with deep poetic lyrics - and the singers!!! You won't find any others that versatile, powerful, talented and skilled - and Nightwish are the top in Symphonic Metal. Enjoy the musically journey of your life, into this phenomenal universe, where you experience music, instead of just hearing it. Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍
This is a BEAUTIFUL comment Kim - I read it twice. A bit like what I witnessed but in words. Stunningly written. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful and peaceful Sunday. Psyche 🌹
Thank you Juke (what a lovely profile name!) - Have a wonderful weekend with your family and friends, keep safe, healthy and above all happy. Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨

Have a wonderful weekend. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Hi Psyche Inc., Nightwish Army, UK division here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish I see Gabriel has made contact. I recommend you follow his lead as you won't go wrong. In the meantime, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride, which is, Nightwish.
Hellooo, Psyche. In addition to having beautiful eyes, you make very good reactions. NIGHTWISH, is one of my favorite bands. I wanted to suggest that you react to another band, spectacular, you will like them a lot. There are 5 girls, they play powermetal music, they are very talented, don't stop reacting to them, they will surprise you a lot. I leave you 5 songs, you see 5 jewels, judge for yourself. "A frozen serenade"" Swan song + intro Chopin""Edge of the world"" Empty daydream""Rising".A big hug from 🇪🇸
Great reaction. Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of around four octaves +. When listening to Floor sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres, and is a Master vocal coach. She often refers to herself as a vocal nerd. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
Welcome to NW SLC, i saw that you were very impressed by the frontwoman of the Finnish Symphonic Metal band Nightwish Floor Jansen (Dutch). Yes she is incredible. 10 Months earlier she came as a substitute for Anette Olzon, who became sick in the middle of a world tour and had to goo to the hospital. NW called Floor and she said yes. She had to learn the setlist in 48 hours (there is a documentary about that) and did this on the flight from the Netherlands to Salt Lake City, where she joined the band on their way to Seattle for the next concert. GLS wasn't even on the list, but because she loved this song so much, NW put it on the list. The last part of the song, the previous singer(s) didn't do, so she made it her own, with as result 10 months later at Wacken 2013 this MASTERPIECE. When she belt so high, you get shiversor goosebumps we call that a FLOORGASM. Congrats with your first one. If you want to react to more of them you can go with the links Gabriel Bardac gave you for a start. Greetings from the Netherlands South Division and enjoy the ride with us
What a beautiful set of comments Louis - thank you so much for taking the time to write them - much appreciated. I have to say I was not expecting what I saw and Floor is on top of her game on this particular song. As said, I find my own way, but I will be checking out more. Who knows, I may even get to speak to Floor in the future........! Have a wonderful weekend, and again, thank you for taking the time for 'me'. Until - Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Subbed for more Nightwish. I won't push you to search for specific songs from Nightwish, but all the songs from this concert are legendary. Almost any live song from this band is on point and so fun! Their songs are fun to watch and to listen to.
Hi Psyche, I really enjoyed your reaction to Nightwish, and the genre of Symphonic Metal. I hope you choose to do more reactions to them, as you give insightful and knowledgeable comments which add yet another dimension to appreciating this very gifted group of people. They are an experience that will envelop your whole being in the best possible way, as no two compositions are the same. I look forward to seeing where your journey takes you with them, so I make no recommendations as per your wish :) Greetings from New Zealand :) Stay well :)
Welcome to the Nightwish army. Loved your reaction and I've already seen all the others too. Keep on going with Gabriel's list, hope to see more NW's reactions on your channel, whenever you decide to do it. Greetings from the southernmost country of American continent, Argentina 🇦🇷
Hello Paola - thank you for your comment. Yes I will keep going for now - see you again on the next ride. Love to Argentina - Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨ p.s. I have a big following in South America on my FB page!
Ghost Love Score is a beautiful musical story, I believe it's about losing your innocence, and your childhood dreams about love, when you make love for the first time. Innocence is one of the greater themes in Tuomas' brilliant compositions. When you said "heavy metal", "heavenly metal" popped up in my mind. Thank you for your reaction! Liked and subscribed ❤
What a beautifully crafted comment - absolutely stunning to the core to read - thank you Cherlindrea99. Just gorgeous. Have a wonderful Sunday. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
I'm so deep into Nightwish 🤘💕One of the epics this song. Have a nice Nightwish journey Psyche 😘 Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) is behind this great symphonic metal music.
Hello MilaMan, thank you very much for your lovely comment! Yes the band members and Tuomas did a wonderful job and they are as much of a success as the Floor - they are all 'equally' great as it takes many to make something great like this! Have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for stopping by. Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
Hi Psyche. I really enjoyed your reaction to this awesome song. (I only discovered Nightwish about 4 months and after watching how they perform live in a number of songs, I went straight out and bought tickets for their current tour.) Aside from the vocals, the musicianship from the whole band is consistently awesome and the song-writing from Tuomas (the keyboard player) is...absolutely fantabulous!!!! I'm not going to recommend you any particular tracks, as you clearly stated you want to discover new music in your own way and in your own time. But what I did want to say, is that if you do go on to listen to more Nightwish, then I recommend sticking to their live performances, as they are simply 'extraordinary'. I also want to mention that there have been four principal vocalists over they years, each of which brings their own special and unique quality to the music. They all, in your own time, require your attention and your ear....Those singers, in alphabetical order are Anette Olzon, Floor Jansen, Marko Hietala and Tarja Tarunen.
In the second half there was something wrong with your head - headbanging goes up and down not right to left ;) - hihi - its funny when people dont belive what they actually do hear :) Thanks for your reaction - I am just one further guy from the youtube nightwish army who cannot get enough from these reactions. Everything else you find in the comment from Gabriel - he is the man :)
I encountered Floor through her association with another band, Sabaton, but she is an extraordinary vocalist. It is actually entertaining watching voice teachers or such first come across her because she doesn't look like a voice professional, so they are unprepared for her skill.
And again a soul is taken by our 6f1 Dutch Valkyre Goddes of Metal, more Floor Jansen, watch De Beste Zangers 2019, she sings in differend styles and differend language, She sings opera's O Mio babbino caro and from the Gamecube game Final Fantasy Cronicles, Sound of the Wind and sings in differend projects of Ayrion
Hello Psyche, welcome into the incredible world of storytelling by Nightwish. Yes her name is Floor Jansen (pronounce her first name just as the English word Floor (although her name means: flower. Her last name is pronounced as: Yahn-Sen, so you did well). Although the band is Finnish their 3rd female vocalist isn’t, she is Dutch. Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career as (initially) just as background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997 but real soon she took over the lead until early 2009 and the band fell apart. Parallel she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. She studied Musical Theatre and one year Opera. She plays guitar, piano and flute and has completed 12 years of music studies. She’s a Light Lyric Soprano and her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1, 2012 (while she was within ReVamp, but recovering from a burnout) Floor replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. After one year, on October 9th 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer. Is this real live? If you’ll have any doubts watch this: ua-cam.com/video/6qDrKoZ62wQ/v-deo.html the evolution of Ghost Love Score. Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp worked under the same Nuclear Blast record label.

Nightwish and Floor Jansen are world class and beyond. I heard them for the first time for a couple of months ago and now i am buying tickets för the concert in Tampere in april...Cant wait!! Nice reaction!!
😂...Hello Robert - I've just had my cuppa though it actually looks like a glass of 🥂 😂🤦🏽♀️. Thank you for dropping in and for making me smile! Have a wonderful weekend and keep safe. Lockdown almost over - fingers crossed - Psyche 🙋🏽♀️✨🌹
Thanks for your amazing reaction! Your face is so expressive, its a delight to follow. Nightwish is pure genius, they have so much to explore, i will sub you and see more 🤗
Hello Jani thank you so much for your lovely comment. Did you watch Storytime? That came out Friday. Try and check it out. They will be a fixture on my channel for a while as the journey is going to be long but exciting I think! Thanks for being here. Have a peaceful but happy Sunday. Psyche 🌹 🙋🏽♀️
As I said in this video, I could easily put the instrumental part of this music in fact, it depends where the music, voice and instrumental parts where put in the movie, but all of it could be placed in the relevant parts. Just stunning as far as I am concerned and I'm honest and unprejudiced in my opinions = fair.
You are more than welcome to explore the Nightwish musical catalogue at your leisure. Some may still try to push you in one direction or another, while others seem to have a regular role as guides to the better videos (there are always lesser-quality copies out there). In particular, Gabriel Bardac posted a list of links to many of their tunes... I do not believe he is trying to force you, but once you find a title that you would like to listen to, you might consider consulting his list to find one that has high-quality audio and video. Welcome to the Nightwish Rabbit Warren... there may be a few million folks down here, but there's always room for a few more. The vast majority of folks here just want to help more and more people discover this wonder band, their talents, and the incredible world of side-projects that have touched the Nightwish sphere over the decades. btw, I'm not a member of the NWA. I don't hang at their forums or Discords, and I have never seen them in concert (tho apparently I passed up on a chance to see them in the second Floor Jansen concert... bad lucj on missing that one, I must admit.) I'm just one more happy soul who is enjoying the music of this symphonic metal band.
Awesome to see more reactions to this great band. You have a lot of great songs to react to here just from this show alone 😃 Floors voice is such a gift and the former bass player Marko is also great. This song was also my first intro to Nightwish totally worth diving into this rabbit hole for sure 😊
Nightwish army Belgium reporting in. Welcome to our world and our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen. She is the most powerful and versatile female voice on the planet. Gabriël will show you the pathway into our world. Looking forward to more reacts.
Thank you, i enjoyed your video. Your reaction to the song, and the conversation with Gabriel makes me happy and curious. So i liked, subbed and am now waiting for more reactions, especially for Nightwish´s "Storytime" and "Dead Boy´s Poem" live recordings (please use Gabriel´s link library, it is not meant as a to-do list to go in order ... ) Pick what you want, or what a commenter, person you know or whatever makes you curious about. All the songs are unique and different, but they all have that special "Nightwish" sound and feeling. And I am absolutely convinced that you will not regret this trip
Great reaction! Every song in the Nightwish set from this 2013 Wacken concert is just this awesome - so just pick any one from Wacken 2013. Or simply follow Gabriel's list - you will be blown away by EVERY Nightwish song. Subscribed and looking forward to more Nightwish reactions.
Incredible band. Keep going with Nightwish. See Gabriel's list for the best links for most songs. Next up, try Storytime from this same show (Wacken 2013).
Midwest Division. Great Lakes Battalion of the Nightwish Army checking in from Straits of Mackinac / Mackinac Island, Lake Huron, USA. I hope you enjoyed your entrance to this musical rabbit hole of the band Nightwish! Welcome! Just follow Gabriel's path he's laid out for you, I'd really like to join you on your journey as you become part of Nightwish's story, if that's alright with you!
Hello BBU thanks for stopping by and supporting my channel, I really do appreciate it very much. Of course it would be an 'honour' to have you on the journey. I've also just released a video of Ghost Love Score with film (my vision). Check it out if you have time. My way of saying 'thank you' for the support I've had from the Nightwish family. Have a wonderful Sunday and coming week. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️ 🌹
Hello Psyche Thompson ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome [BACK] to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air (Germany) in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.
As I could find, you already reacted several months ago to the "Phantom Of The Opera" (live 2005) performance, with their 1st female singer, Tarja Turunen - but for some reasons the comments are closed there.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and NOT as something mandatory):

@Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or this version of the whole concert: ua-cam.com/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/v-deo.html
Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
@Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019 (TV show from Netherlands) here is a playlist made by Floor herself (start listen it in reverse order ..) ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo.html
For entire episodes of the show with En subtitles, you should check Denise Hofs's DM channel: dailymotion_dot_com/xpinkeu/videos
In the spring of 2021, Floor also did a cover of "Euphoria" for Beste Zangers Songfestival ua-cam.com/video/FOBgrpkOIVE/v-deo.html
In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us from her home studio, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 9 covers there, here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlinbJW0aJc2iVy5tYEhC5KL9.html
Following the success of Beste Zangers show, Floor performed a series of solo concerts in the Netherlands in early 2020 with songs from her entire career (After Forever, Revamp, Northward, Nightwish, Beste Zangers) following that the last and the largest concert, at AFAS Amsterdam, to be professionally recorded and broadcast online, with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. After several rescheduling, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the concert took place at the beginning of September 2021 in 3 consecutive days. So far the first 6 songs from the concert plus the backstage documentary have been posted online, here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlilDPohfKzmFC_wdTOllD3jh.html
Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.

Hello Gabriel - I hope your Sunday is going well - not sure where you are in the world, whether you behind or in front in hours, but which ever way, I hope Sunday will be good for you.
You are the FIRST ever to get a response from me to an email like this as I do not like them at all and usually delete marketing as I won't be forced or coerced into anything., especially as they don't pay me to play stuff they they get bonuses for and all the revenue goes to the record company. But I liked your intro and style as I'm good at reading between the lines - really nice Gabriel (and I adore the name Gabriel). I've worked with may BIG stars in my career and know many so I understand talent. To me, this performance was second to none in my opinion and I actually take what I do very seriously because of my background in media - and for keeping 'demurely' quiet and respectful about things in the media, hence I am respected for that in the industry. I will use your list as my guide. Please note I play many genres as I have no prejudices and like many things, but want to highlight REAL talent to the masses and it seems to be paying off when things that I play being picked up all over the World - comments as proof and dealings with Google and You Tube directly. Many play these videos purely for views, I play them for inclusivity, education and teaching people to broaden their minds as to what is out there, and views help too. I will be widening the channel to not just be constrained by Reactions as everyone seems to want to to it now and it dilutes the actual process into a comedy show sometimes, which is not me at all. Interviews etc. will hopefully come too soon. Check out my Community Page or Google me so you have some prospective. Most channels don't have the exposure on Google like myself, so I am actually the real deal and people take note of what I say, because I am genuine, and as said I really DO care and respect the work put before me. Also please advise that copyright will not be a problem with the links you have submitted, as I am not going to fight for that. Have a wonderful day Gabriel and thank you. Psyche aka Psyche Thompson - Amazing Woman Of The Year UK (Awarded finalist). 🌹
@@psycheinc-theSLC Please note that I have read your answer a few times to understand it in depth, since English is not my native language. Thank you for your elegant answer.
I'm from Romania (GMT +2), I'm 54 years old and I have a job in IT (9-18), so I'm just a fan. No business connection with Nightwish, of any kind. But they changed my life for the better with the optimistic energy of their music, me and many other fans around the world. There are people who have found support in their music in the fight against illness, physical or mental, as well as strong emotional support in the face of life's trials.
I guess what I do can be called marketing (I've been told that a few times before), and I admit I'd be happy to see them as popular as the Beatles, for example. But I'd be just as happy if you didn't consider this a reason to have other reactions to Nightwish, but decided to listen to their music just for you. Please do not consider yourself obliged in any way by my approach. In an increasingly uncertain world, they have iconic lyrics that remind us of who we are, such as "Fear is a choice you embrace." For me, that matters.
I hope we meet again. All the best from Romania!
Floor.. turned this song into a Tour de Force. She uses all her Technique & Style to SLAY. Legendary performance! She's become my Favorite Female Singer..and I've heard them All.

Nightwish Army Texas Division reporting for duty. Welcome to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. Finnish symphonic metal at its best. This is just the tip of the iceberg. This band’s genius and talent will continue to surprise you. I won’t suggest specific songs, but recommend you start with live performances with Floor as lead singer for a little while, then you could expand to others. Enjoy your Nightwish journey. I definitely have.
A road that can take you down many paths, but they all lead to enjoyment. I am a recent traveler on this path also. Nightwish is a collection of great talent and has been for some time, don't neglect their other amazing singers who brought their own talents, resist comparisons and opt for the experience. Floor is of course Floor and she is another path to a hidden realm, but that realm has many entrances and crossing paths. I recommend her appearance with Epica Sancta Terra to show just how wide part of that realm is.

Welcome to Nighwish. Toumas the keyboardist is the genius behind pretty much all of Nighwish music. When you get to hear more, I believe you will become to appreciate just how professionally talented everyone is in this band and that Tuomas is right up there with the best composers that have ever lived. Nighwish are not a band they are an experience 😎😌
....they are an experience ' - sublime! ❤️🌹 I love that x
Floor is an empath - and You can feel that watching her. Her energy is mindblowing
I agree 🌹
Great reaction. You just heard one of the greatest voices of our generation.

The Greatest show on earth the most intelligent rock song ever
LOVED your reaction and ending commentary on this musical masterpiece!!!! Nightwish and Floor Jansen have been my FAVORITE band and singer since I discovered them 3years ago seeing that here in America we don't have Symphonic Metal played at ALL so I was taken for a RIDE when I first heard this!!!! Floor's voice gives me the feels like NO other singer has in YEARS!!!! My passion for music was ignited again thanks to Nightwish's Symphonic elements and Operatic elements mixed with Metal, SO AWESOME!!! I truly hope you enjoy more from this VERY SPECIAL group of talented musicians and artists!!!! Hugs from Florida, USA
What beautiful comments. Thank you so much No One - I truly appreciate them. Have a wonderful Wednesday, keep safe, healthy and above all, happy. Psyche 🌹
Ghost Love Score has 17 changes :) You have dicovered the best symphonic metal band in the world. All the musicans are very talented! The arragements are from the keyboarder Tuomas Holopainen. He is a modern Mozart and Floor Jansen are the Valkyre godness, she can sing everything! I wish you much fun discovering the path of Nightwish :)
All Nightwish songs are different from each other with surprises within each. They take you on a journey. In your search for their songs to react to be aware that they have had three lead singers since 1996. Floor became an official member in 2013. So, if you're looking for more Floor songs keep that in mind. She is my favorite all time singer and I've been around for 78 years. Only two of their songs require some research before reacting to understand the context. In a nutshell, The Greatest Show on Earth is about evolution (Tampere) and The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley), which is very personal to Tuomas founder/composer/keyboards. The song is about the deep depression he went into because of the huge fan backlash after he fired the first singer in the band. Both these songs plus GLS make up an epic trifecta. 😊🤘
You've been around for 78 years? and your profile name is Skeeze Smith? - Lovely ☺️. Thanks for the information, much appreciated. Have a wonderful Sunday Skeeze - Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨

Hey Psyche Inc. So nice to see your enthusiastic reaction. That's what Nightwish does to us, goosebumbs, shivers and yes, they are all very talented artists. Everyone of them. Tuomas , the keyboardist is the composer and he really makes these songs sound so good. Every song has a story which they are based on. When you listen a few of their songs you'll find out what kind of exciting and amazing world you have stepped in. Wellcome to the world of Nightwish. More Nightwish. Yes, please.
Thank you for taking the time to comment Risto - much appreciated. Yes I will do more as 'I' like them. This was a marvellous lesson in how to put on a show that encapsulates everything that talent is supposed to be - something lacking these days if to be honest! Have a wonderful weekend and may it be fabulous! Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
Floor can sing any song, any genre and make it her own.
Fellow Brit here. If you were looking for a journey - then you have found it!! Welcome to the Nightwish 'journey', (actually, we call it the rabbit-hole), and I can see that your interested has been piqued by this first reaction! You will be inundated with countless watches and 'likes', but please wait for Gabriel Bardac's welcoming DM. He is the Nightwish Army' spokesperson, and he will lead you safely down the hole where Alice once fell. Enjoy yourself, and prepare for your life to be changed forever :-)
☺️🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she
got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power
of her vocals.
We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard.

Hello Psyche Thompson
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
And they make Symphonic Metal.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Hello Frenk - yes I've seen the Night Wish army - and would you believe I have probably responded to 99% of them - that should show you for the outset that I am different to every channel! Anyhow, thank you very much for your comments and for stopping by - and yes Gabriel has been in touch! Happy Sunday and coming week. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division checking in on your reaction and I must admit I could not tell what you were feeling till the end I thought you were stunned by it for awhile , Floor Jansen is the worlds most versatile singer on the planet but most of all the Keyboard player is the founder & composer of Nightwish and his nick name is the Metal Mozart . your going to love his composing and song writing skills
Hello Robert thank you for our comments, much appreciated. I'm a professional in the media world, so I tend to watch everything then comment as I take the talent before me very seriously! There are a lot of reaction channels that do it for views, money, subs etc which is important, but I delve a bit deeper as my background IS media and not make this journey a comedy show, unless that is the content. Check out other videos that I do, it's the same, and that's why I have real backers and subscribers because they appreciate the style of the acts that I am watching with dignity in taking the time to absorb everything. What I saw in this video was beyond 'outstanding' but I will critique things as I progress. "Metal Mozart' - sublime ❤️. Have a wonderful Sunday and coming week Robert. Psyche
Take it at your own pace lovely lady. Whatever you choose, we will be watching. We call it symphonic metal, because of the orchestra instruments and the choirs. Nightwish is an epic journey and are extremely good at song arrangements and also a little touch of Musical Theater. Hope to see you again very soon. Be well Psyche! 💖🙏💎☝🥂🥂
Thank you Thorgrim - I absolutely 'love' this comment to the bones. You've got me! ❤️x
Too right. It helps to take it at your own pace esp something like this that’ll grow you along with it’s progress. It’ll move you
I am 44 years old; and I only discovered this amazing group around 3 years ago now... they've since become one of my absolute favorite bands of all time. "Song of Myself" from this same concert is now my favorite song, it replaced Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar"...
So good!
Hey Woman of the year, nice reaction. Nightwish is such a good band and Floor Jansen is for me and many others the most versatile singer in the world. Welcome in the beautiful world of Nightwish. It will enrich your live. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Hey Piet - thank you so much for your lovely comment - it made me smile - It's actually 'Amazing' Woman..blah blah blah - 😂😂 but I don't put that as there's no room!

🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
Thank you for this awesome reaction. Metal music is one of the most diverse genres. It has many subgenres and this here is symphonic metal. The genre is known for it's arrangements, due to the classical elements that comes with. A band might even come with a symphonic orchestra in some bigger venues. Nightwish is one of the bands that defined the genre in the early 90's, with bands like Epica, Within Temptation or Therion. There are more songs with this caliber, so enjoy the journey.
Hello Kai (what a beautiful name x) thank you for taking the time to check in - much appreciated. Great comments too. Have a marvellous weekend - be good, if not, be bad to the MAX! ☺️. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Great reaction ... and you just heard the best female vocalist of these times .... the DUTCH Floor Jansen .... greets from the Netherlands
Hello Hans, thank you so much for checking on, I really do appreciate it very much! Have a great Sunday with your family and friends. Psyche 🌹
Nightwish Army Chilean Division reporting and giving Like. Waiting for Nightwish in concert on October here! Welcome to the Symphonic Metal, it's a huge world full of vituous musicians, great bands, and a lot of emotions, where every song is not only a song, it's a journey... it's an experience.
OOh I bet you cannot wait for that! WOW - if I'm still here you need to check back in and tell us your experience and if you get footage let me see it so everyone can enjoy it. Thank you very much Claudio for 'reporting' in. Have a wonderful Sunday. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
From a 67 year old: Ghost love score ten times a day keeps the doctor away ❤
Loved your reaction. It will sound even more powerful and awesome with headphones. Welcome to the Nightwish army. Subscribed to follow your journey!
Hello Ian - happy Saturday! Thank you for your comments. I don't need headphones - I don't follow the crowd and do my own thing and my ears are just fine hearing what I hear ☺️. Have a wonderful weekend, keep safe, healthy and above all, happy! Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
@@psycheinc-theSLC Hi again it was just a thought but I respect your preferences. Thankyou for your reply. Keep on this journey and you will not be disappointed listening to Floor on her own or with Nightwish. Keep safe. Kind regards Ian
@@psycheinc-theSLC I did like and subscribe because I saw you were absolutely captivated! But I think you are not quite understanding Ian here. It is not about your perception of the music, but about ours. Using headphones is mandatory. You need to mix the original UA-cam audio with your own audio. Under no circumstances can you use a microphone to record a loudspeaker. The microphone does not have a flat frequency reponse, the speakers do not have a flat frequency response, and your room is also influencing the sound as well. Usually this results in a very tinny sound. Your audio is somewhat better, but not as good as the people who use headphones.
I have attended more than a dozen Nightwish shows in six countries on three continents. But the Amsterdam shows in 2015 were top of the bill, mostly because I was in the sweet spot acoustically. The gutpounding feeling of the double bass drums and the bass guitar, all the extra instrumentation, and that glorious voice soaring above it all was lifechanging. There is no DVD that can reproduce this. Most home systems cannot even reproduce what is on the DVD. Your reaction is to a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy. I did like it, but mostly because of you.
@@franshinlopen2166 Thank you for your reply Frans much appreciated. However as you ALL know the songs a million times over I don't need to wear headphones and I won't wear headphones as its NOT mandatory and if so to whom? Not to me. My ears can hear it well enough thank you. And if people don't find it loud enough they can download the track or watch it on another channel with people wearing headphones. Most people wear them for sound but more importantly optics, but I'm not a sheep nor a DJ. My rules, my way. You don't pay me to do this or for my time and effort. You already know the songs so the reaction videos are about the person reacting to what they see and hear. If I'm not giving you the sound you want then I understand if you choose to go which is fine as my subscribers come from all walks and genres of life and they don't watch to see if I'm going to wear headphones - No one is going to tell me what I should or shouldn't do on my channel. I'm not a sheep and I do not follow the crowd but carve my own way and happy to do so even if it means I'm on my own as I stand by my integrity and convictions and not lectured by someone whose not doing the work or paying me! And I can assure you that Floor would appreciate my stance 100%. My channel, my way. Also this is about MY feelings to what I see that's what people subscribe to. Some channels wear headphones but their reacting doesn't match the optics! Also subscribers don't make a channel or pay for them either as we get paid nothing as the revenue goes to the artists and record company. So people should be appreciative of what is shown. Most channels have Patreon, donations etc. Here I only request the odd cup oif ☕ which is a small price to pay for the amount of work I do for free so you can all watch for free and I'm a very busy person! let's see how many people are willing to do that, but a 'virtual coffee'! On my channel I am 'trying' to showcase talent the right way so that more people can then go off and do their own research if they liked what they initally heard and download the tracks. That's how I run MY channel. And 'I' chose to show Night Wish not pushed by marketing! But I thank you again for your comments, as said I appreciate it very much and thank you for taking the time to watch it. What is ironic is in your last sentence you said you watched it because of me -and that's my point. Have a great Sunday Frans. Psyche 🌹
I agree Psyche it is not mandatory. Sorry for starting the headphone debate!!!
Psyche, welcome from Connecticut. Great reaction I loved it. I had tears in my eyes watching you. Great emotions. The best first reaction I have seen. You listened to the music and let it play through without interruptions. Nightwish is incredible and Floor is the Valkyrie Goddess. I have subscribed, and i am looking forward to watching more of your reactions. I hope you continue the Nightwish journey.
So refreshing to hear MELODY again in music. Sure beats the minimalist 3 note formula crap that tries to pass as music these days. Tuomas is a genius and Floor brings his composition and passion to life! What an epic performance...No autotune crap...just PURE TALENT!
🙋🏽♀️🤗🌹
Nightwish army Sargent (Wisconsin division) reporting in. Love the reaction! Just wait until you here Floors solo covers!! Amazing. A good cover to check out is "Shallow" (lady gaga's song). Floor made it her own!
Thank you Aries (what a nice profile name) but I won't be hearing it for a while as I'm a very busy woman and my list, which everyone is trying to squeeze on to, is a year long! Nightwish is coming in about 20 minutes - you're the first to know! Have a lovely evening. 🙋🏽♀️🌹
New subscriber here... you won me in the first 15 seconds of the song. I've listened to this spectacular song probably ten thousand times over the last 15 years, even having the honor of seeing it live, and it never gets old watching a new friend experience that same flush of emotions for the first time! It helps us to relive our own first time! Loved your reaction and your style. I'm looking forward to sharing your journey down the wide and deep and beautiful rabbit hole that is Nightwish and Floor Jansen! Welcome to the Nightwish Army!
Beautiful comment - it would be a pleasure Chris - see you on the next ride! Have a wonderful weekend - Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
Nightwish Army US (Missouri) divison. Welcome to one of the best female singers currently out there.
FLOOR JANSEN - BESTE ZANGERS
This is not a competition. The program is made for Dutch TV. The idea behind the show is that they invite 7 vocalist from different genre's and each episode one of them is at the center of attention. The other vocalist will either perform a song from the artist or sing a song that has a special meaning to them. That changed radically after this show aired. The woman is ridiculously versatile. She can literally sing any song in any style she likes
If you to want to look into her pick any song of the show, it really does not matter all them are brilliant. As recommendation i would pick her version of the Lady Gaga song called "Shallow" ua-cam.com/video/M68pe4a_9zk/v-deo.html
Hello Ronald - thank you very much for your comments - much appreciated. My schedule, as I am sure you can imagine is ridiculously busy and tight, but I will try and view this in my personal time - thank you very much for sending the link. I also know of the programme. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks again! Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
welcome to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band, their live performances are some of the things that come so close to epic that they get to be mythical and of course Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive).
this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream"
this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
Hello sonosoloio thank you very much for taking the time to write your comments which have been noted and appreciated. The one thing I loved, which you said was 'EPIC' - that's it in a nutshell! Have a wonderful weekend and may it be everything you wish it to be. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Welcome to Nightwish there's always room on the Nightwish train for new reactors. Hope you continue your journey. Thank you for your reaction. A shorter nice song about an Eclipse called Sleeping sun worth a look.
🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Sleeping Sun is such a beautiful song (very soft compared to this one).
I listen to this masterpiece of symphonic rock 100+ times, with every new reaction video. I always put a like, but here is a real great reaction! Greetings from Romania :)
Thank you so much RoMadCars - I really 'do' appreciate that very much. Have a wonderful weekend. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨

A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰
The merge of symphony music with metal music, are mostly done successfully by European artists - and only from the absolute top shelf.
It's often composed in chapters, and with deep poetic lyrics - and the singers!!! You won't find any others that versatile, powerful, talented and skilled - and Nightwish are the top in Symphonic Metal.
Enjoy the musically journey of your life, into this phenomenal universe, where you experience music, instead of just hearing it.
Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍
This is a BEAUTIFUL comment Kim - I read it twice. A bit like what I witnessed but in words. Stunningly written. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful and peaceful Sunday. Psyche 🌹
Ingredients: 1) this amazingly talented band. 2) on the top of it, you add the gift to mankind, the GODDESS. The result is "not fair" 😁

Nightwish Army Texas here! Am enjoying going through your Nightwish catalogue.
Hello islgr292, great to see you - and thank you for that - much appreciated. Have a great weekend! 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Hi Psyche Inc., Nightwish Army, UK division here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish I see Gabriel has made contact. I recommend you follow his lead as you won't go wrong. In the meantime, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride, which is, Nightwish.
"I was not expecting that....."
Yep. 1st-time Nightwish reaction. Glad you enjoyed that. :)
Expect to not-expect-that again . ;)
Fantastic reaction! Symphonic Metal done properly is so grandiose!
Hellooo, Psyche. In addition to having beautiful eyes, you make very good reactions. NIGHTWISH, is one of my favorite bands. I wanted to suggest that you react to another band, spectacular, you will like them a lot. There are 5 girls, they play powermetal music, they are very talented, don't stop reacting to them, they will surprise you a lot. I leave you 5 songs, you see 5 jewels, judge for yourself. "A frozen serenade"" Swan song + intro Chopin""Edge of the world"" Empty daydream""Rising".A big hug from 🇪🇸
Great reaction.
Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of around four octaves +. When listening to Floor sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres, and is a Master vocal coach. She often refers to herself as a vocal nerd. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
🙋🏽♀️🌹People read the comments do thank you so much fior sharing the information. Have a wonderful Sunday. Psyche 🌹
Thanks 4 reacting! - Nightwish Army
Welcome to NW SLC, i saw that you were very impressed by the frontwoman of the Finnish Symphonic Metal band Nightwish Floor Jansen (Dutch). Yes she is incredible. 10 Months earlier she came as a substitute for Anette Olzon, who became sick in the middle of a world tour and had to goo to the hospital. NW called Floor and she said yes. She had to learn the setlist in 48 hours (there is a documentary about that) and did this on the flight from the Netherlands to Salt Lake City, where she joined the band on their way to Seattle for the next concert. GLS wasn't even on the list, but because she loved this song so much, NW put it on the list. The last part of the song, the previous singer(s) didn't do, so she made it her own, with as result 10 months later at Wacken 2013 this MASTERPIECE. When she belt so high, you get shiversor goosebumps we call that a FLOORGASM. Congrats with your first one. If you want to react to more of them you can go with the links Gabriel Bardac gave you for a start. Greetings from the Netherlands South Division and enjoy the ride with us
What a beautiful set of comments Louis - thank you so much for taking the time to write them - much appreciated. I have to say I was not expecting what I saw and Floor is on top of her game on this particular song. As said, I find my own way, but I will be checking out more. Who knows, I may even get to speak to Floor in the future........! Have a wonderful weekend, and again, thank you for taking the time for 'me'. Until - Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
@@psycheinc-theSLC "Floor is on top of her game on this particular song."
I think you'll find that she is on top of her game on every song. 🙂
Subbed for more Nightwish. I won't push you to search for specific songs from Nightwish, but all the songs from this concert are legendary. Almost any live song from this band is on point and so fun! Their songs are fun to watch and to listen to.
🤗🌹🙋🏽♀️
Hi Psyche, I really enjoyed your reaction to Nightwish, and the genre of Symphonic Metal. I hope you choose to do more reactions to them, as you give insightful and knowledgeable comments which add yet another dimension to appreciating this very gifted group of people. They are an experience that will envelop your whole being in the best possible way, as no two compositions are the same. I look forward to seeing where your journey takes you with them, so I make no recommendations as per your wish :) Greetings from New Zealand :) Stay well :)
🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Welcome to the Nightwish army. Loved your reaction and I've already seen all the others too. Keep on going with Gabriel's list, hope to see more NW's reactions on your channel, whenever you decide to do it. Greetings from the southernmost country of American continent, Argentina 🇦🇷
Hello Paola - thank you for your comment. Yes I will keep going for now - see you again on the next ride. Love to Argentina - Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨ p.s. I have a big following in South America on my FB page!
Ghost Love Score is a beautiful musical story, I believe it's about losing your innocence, and your childhood dreams about love, when you make love for the first time. Innocence is one of the greater themes in Tuomas' brilliant compositions. When you said "heavy metal", "heavenly metal" popped up in my mind. Thank you for your reaction! Liked and subscribed ❤
What a beautifully crafted comment - absolutely stunning to the core to read - thank you Cherlindrea99. Just gorgeous. Have a wonderful Sunday. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Nightwish army Greece department here! Welcome to the most beautiful music journey, welcome to our family 🥂🤘🎶

very cool reaction,
greetings from the Nightwish Army from Germany :-)
Thank you very much MW - Have a great Wednesday - Psyche 🙋🏽♀️✨🌹
I'm so deep into Nightwish 🤘💕One of the epics this song. Have a nice Nightwish journey Psyche 😘 Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) is behind this great symphonic metal music.
Hello MilaMan, thank you very much for your lovely comment! Yes the band members and Tuomas did a wonderful job and they are as much of a success as the Floor - they are all 'equally' great as it takes many to make something great like this! Have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for stopping by. Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
Hi Psyche. I really enjoyed your reaction to this awesome song. (I only discovered Nightwish about 4 months and after watching how they perform live in a number of songs, I went straight out and bought tickets for their current tour.) Aside from the vocals, the musicianship from the whole band is consistently awesome and the song-writing from Tuomas (the keyboard player) is...absolutely fantabulous!!!!
I'm not going to recommend you any particular tracks, as you clearly stated you want to discover new music in your own way and in your own time. But what I did want to say, is that if you do go on to listen to more Nightwish, then I recommend sticking to their live performances, as they are simply 'extraordinary'. I also want to mention that there have been four principal vocalists over they years, each of which brings their own special and unique quality to the music. They all, in your own time, require your attention and your ear....Those singers, in alphabetical order are Anette Olzon, Floor Jansen, Marko Hietala and Tarja Tarunen.
In the second half there was something wrong with your head - headbanging goes up and down not right to left ;) - hihi - its funny when people dont belive what they actually do hear :)
Thanks for your reaction - I am just one further guy from the youtube nightwish army who cannot get enough from these reactions. Everything else you find in the comment from Gabriel - he is the man :)
I encountered Floor through her association with another band, Sabaton, but she is an extraordinary vocalist. It is actually entertaining watching voice teachers or such first come across her because she doesn't look like a voice professional, so they are unprepared for her skill.
She is actually married to the drummer from Sabaton, and occasionally they will combine like they did for the Sabaton song Christmas Truce.
Very good comment Lee 🌹
And again a soul is taken by our 6f1 Dutch Valkyre Goddes of Metal, more Floor Jansen, watch De Beste Zangers 2019, she sings in differend styles and differend language, She sings opera's O Mio babbino caro and from the Gamecube game Final Fantasy Cronicles, Sound of the Wind and sings in differend projects of Ayrion
Oops, i see that i made a mistake, it's Ayreon
We NEED apeople like you to grow our army! Love and kisses from The Netherlands!
Thank you so much Robert I really appreciate that. I take what I do seriously so thank you xx
Hello Psyche, welcome into the incredible world of storytelling by Nightwish.
Yes her name is Floor Jansen (pronounce her first name just as the English word Floor (although her name means: flower. Her last name is pronounced as: Yahn-Sen, so you did well). Although the band is Finnish their 3rd female vocalist isn’t, she is Dutch.
Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career as (initially) just as background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997 but real soon she took over the lead until early 2009 and the band fell apart. Parallel she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. She studied Musical Theatre and one year Opera. She plays guitar, piano and flute and has completed 12 years of music studies. She’s a Light Lyric Soprano and her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons.
On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1, 2012 (while she was within ReVamp, but recovering from a burnout) Floor replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. After one year, on October 9th 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer.
Is this real live? If you’ll have any doubts watch this: ua-cam.com/video/6qDrKoZ62wQ/v-deo.html the evolution of Ghost Love Score.
Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp worked under the same Nuclear Blast record label.

He is simply a GENIUS - and Yes Metal Mozart - just stunning in every which way! 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
Nightwish and Floor Jansen are world class and beyond. I heard them for the first time for a couple of months ago and now i am buying tickets för the concert in Tampere in april...Cant wait!! Nice reaction!!
Thanks Timo - you must report back after the concert to let us know your experience! Have a great Sunday. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨

Thanks for your amazing reaction! Your face is so expressive, its a delight to follow. Nightwish is pure genius, they have so much to explore, i will sub you and see more 🤗
Hello Jani thank you so much for your lovely comment. Did you watch Storytime? That came out Friday. Try and check it out. They will be a fixture on my channel for a while as the journey is going to be long but exciting I think! Thanks for being here. Have a peaceful but happy Sunday. Psyche 🌹 🙋🏽♀️
You have just been Floored for life. 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Nightwish Instrumental only music is definitely cinematic, awesome 😎
As I said in this video, I could easily put the instrumental part of this music in fact, it depends where the music, voice and instrumental parts where put in the movie, but all of it could be placed in the relevant parts. Just stunning as far as I am concerned and I'm honest and unprejudiced in my opinions = fair.
nightwish army USA . more nightwish please....ROCK ON!
☺️🌹 Have a great weekend NAZ88-3
Good one
You just opened a box that won't shut.
Welcome to the rabbit hole Alice.
Kindest.
😁🤗🙋🏽♀️🌹
You are more than welcome to explore the Nightwish musical catalogue at your leisure. Some may still try to push you in one direction or another, while others seem to have a regular role as guides to the better videos (there are always lesser-quality copies out there). In particular, Gabriel Bardac posted a list of links to many of their tunes... I do not believe he is trying to force you, but once you find a title that you would like to listen to, you might consider consulting his list to find one that has high-quality audio and video.
Welcome to the Nightwish Rabbit Warren... there may be a few million folks down here, but there's always room for a few more.
The vast majority of folks here just want to help more and more people discover this wonder band, their talents, and the incredible world of side-projects that have touched the Nightwish sphere over the decades.
btw, I'm not a member of the NWA. I don't hang at their forums or Discords, and I have never seen them in concert (tho apparently I passed up on a chance to see them in the second Floor Jansen concert... bad lucj on missing that one, I must admit.)
I'm just one more happy soul who is enjoying the music of this symphonic metal band.
Randall - the voice of reason and balance - I absolutely love it! ❤️😘. Have a wonderful weekend. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Welcome in the Nightwish Family 🤘
Thank you Ralf, thank you ❤️x

They are avatars from another world.... This performance beats the shit out of it all
'...this performance beats the s**t out of it all'.......goregous ❤️x
Awesome to see more reactions to this great band. You have a lot of great songs to react to here just from this show alone 😃 Floors voice is such a gift and the former bass player Marko is also great. This song was also my first intro to Nightwish totally worth diving into this rabbit hole for sure 😊

Thank you, i enjoyed your video.
Your reaction to the song, and the conversation with Gabriel makes me happy and curious. So i liked, subbed and am now waiting for more reactions, especially for Nightwish´s "Storytime" and "Dead Boy´s Poem" live recordings (please use Gabriel´s link library, it is not meant as a to-do list to go in order ... ) Pick what you want, or what a commenter, person you know or whatever makes you curious about. All the songs are unique and different, but they all have that special "Nightwish" sound and feeling.
And I am absolutely convinced that you will not regret this trip
Beautiful comment - thank you some much helliOn - have a great week and yes more Nightwish will be coming - Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Great reaction! Every song in the Nightwish set from this 2013 Wacken concert is just this awesome - so just pick any one from Wacken 2013. Or simply follow Gabriel's list - you will be blown away by EVERY Nightwish song. Subscribed and looking forward to more Nightwish reactions.
🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
Incredible band. Keep going with Nightwish. See Gabriel's list for the best links for most songs. Next up, try Storytime from this same show (Wacken 2013).
