Hello @ De Gem ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar.. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in 2013 at Wacken Open Air festival, in front of a 82k+ audience. 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. As I saw, you appreciate all the key elements of a Nightwish show: the timeless composition, the high level of musicianship of all the bend members, the heavenly voice of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen, Welcome among us! Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the 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. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .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 " Hope you'll continue this journey with us, so I'll drop here a list of songs with the current lineup of the band you may like: "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ua-cam.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/v-deo.html "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ua-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/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 "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 "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) ua-cam.com/video/knqeI807ZlY/v-deo.html "Sleeping Sun" live at Tampere 2015 (ballad) ua-cam.com/video/rsotlzr9wNw/v-deo.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) ua-cam.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/v-deo.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ua-cam.com/video/wA44tjaP5n0/v-deo.html "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) ua-cam.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/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 hear Floor growling :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Wembley 2015 ua-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/v-deo.html Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html You can also continue to 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 To understand better the context of this show you should visit also Jenniezelf's YT channel (En subtitled materials): ua-cam.com/users/jenniezelf For entire episodes of the show with En translation, you should check Denise Hofs's DM channel: www.dailymotion.com/xpinkeu/videos Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
Her name is Floor Jansen, she had been singing for over an hour in this concert when this song came up. The whole concert (Wacken 2013) is amazing. Nightwish will become one of your favorites. Try Storytime or Everdream from this concert!!!!!!!
Floor Jansen is a highly trained, highly skilled, charismatic stage monster. And you just heard about lets say 40% of what she can do. Supported by an all star cast of musicians. Try Storytime from this show.
Floor is the best singer in this universe. Nightwish is the best live band ever in this universe. I cry everytime I listen this song. Pure magic. Greets from Finland 🤘🙏🏻🇫🇮❤️
What dolt dislikes this wonderful, genuine and heartfelt reaction?? I see Gabriel has already posted his introductory message, so I'll spare you my own sermon. Welcome to Nightwish, enjoy, they have 120 great songs, and Floor Jansen is one of the best singers in the world when she doesn't slay dragons. (In sober reality, she prefers horseback riding to dragonslaying, which is about equally scary for me.)
Let's see . . . no sex scandals, no overblown artistic failures, no failed or successful rehab, no pile of famous ex-boyfriends, no stupid or skanky public behavior, no celebrity beefs, no crossover duets in unsuitable genres, no spectacularly sleazy stage show, no shave-my-head-batshit-crazy period, no hateful reality TV show, no horribly flawed personality, no vicious divorces, no terrible movies or sitcoms, no arrests or convictions, no public meltdowns, no unhinged social media posts, no talk-show catastrophes, no unbelievably ugly clothes, no idiotic statements to the press, no espousing weird beliefs, no "leaked" nude photos, no annoying hit single that people can't stand hearing, no bizarre music videos . . . hmm. I wonder why the American media wouldn't find her interesting?
Welcome to Floor Jansen, the 6' Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. You've heard about 40% of what she can do. I've heard her sing rock, metal, classical aria, country, lullaby, smooth jazz, pop and musical. I've heard her sing in English, Dutch, German, Finnish, Spanish, Italian and Latin. I've heard her do deathgrowls and hold a D6 for 8 seconds. And I've heard her do all those things live on stage. Sure, there are singers who can do any of the things she does better than her, but there's only one who can do all of them and sound great and convincing doing it all.
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, keys, band founder in 1996, leader, mastermind, composes, writes lyrics to and arranges vast majority of Nightwish songs. Marko Hietala bass and vocals Emppu Vuorinen guitar Jukka Nevalainen drums, replaced in 2015 by his good friend Kai Hahto due to Jukka's insomnia. Troy Donockley the multi-instrumentalist from the UK, not present on this performance. And last but not least, Floor Jansen vocals, from the Netherlands. She is the 3rd and current female lead vocalist of Nightwish from 2012 on. Original female lead vocalist was Tarja Turunen 1996-2005, 2nd was Anette Olzon from Sweden 2007-2012. I wish you keep on reacting to more Nightwish. I suggest "Ever Dream" Wacken 2013 Official Live so that you hear Marko and Floor on vocals together. They complement each other amazingly. Greetings from Helsinki Finland!
That's how you send pop divas back to school to learn how to sing. An she's doing it in front 82000 metalheads live. An that's just little bit of what she is capable of.
Nightwish is a Finnish band and here are the members currently: - Tuomas Holopainen - Keyboards & main composer/arranger - Finnish - Floor Jansen - Main Vocals - Dutch - Marco Hietala - Bass & Vocals - Finnish - Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist - Finnish - Kai Hahto - Drums - Finnish (In the video you just watched it was still Jukka Nevalainen, he left as the drummer in 2014 and is now with the band's management team) - Troy Donockley - Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, vocals, guitar, keyboards, bouzouki, etc. - English The backing tracks are recorded with the London Philarmonic full orchestra and choir. They had 2 previous singers Tarja Turunen 1996-2005 and Anette Olzon 2007-2012. Best method for reacting to Nightwish that I figured from watching reactors and discovering them recently and exploring their catalog myself: Keep the particularly long and complex songs listed below, if you have not watched them already, for after you have seen all the more standard ones from the 4 live shows mentioned in the numbered list: - Ghost Love Score (Wacken) 10 minutes - The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley) 14 minutes >>> Doing some research on the background story for this song is very important to be able to appreciate the meaning of the lyrics. - Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere) 21 minutes 1- Just do all the Wacken 2013 songs, they are all great. 2- Then the Wembley 2015 ones that are not part of the Wacken show. 3- Then the remaining songs from Tampere 2015 that were not in the previous 2 shows mentioned. 4- Then the older songs from Buenos Aires 2018 that were not in the previous 3 shows mentioned. 5- To see what they can do with a cover and if you like Marco's singing, watch their interpretation of Pink Floyd's High Hopes. 6- Then you can explore Floor's versatility with her band ReVamp's live performances of the songs Disdain at Graspop and Wild Card at Bloodstock. 7- And finally go in the deep end of the Floor talent pool by reacting to her performances on Beste Zangers in the order the episodes aired. For the first 4 steps, you can alternate between shows, but I would recommend to still only take songs that are not performed in the previous shows mentioned, as they are ordered in audio quality from best to worst. From watching a lot of reactions, in my opinion this is the most efficient order to discover the rabbit hole that is Nightwish and Floor Jansen. That should keep you busy for a while. 😀
Girl, you aint' seen anything yet. This is my favorite Nightwish song. Nothing is random in what you hear, everything is perfectly calculated and thought trough down to the last note of every musical organ you can and can't distinguish. Holopainen (the keyboardist ) is a musical genius, add the talent of the other members, and you get an unforgettable musical experience out of this world. The Dutch Goddess (Floor Jansen) is their 3rd singer, and in my opinion the most versatile and "right" for the band. I hope to see them just once in my lifetime. If you haven't already, also check the song "The Greatest Show On Earth"
Great reaction!😉. Metal has never been my taste in music at all but I accidentally discovered Nightwish about 2 months ago and now obsessed with them! Lol.. Especially the beautiful, amazing Floor Jansen 😍🤩🤗. Hands down this is literally the best live performance I have ever in my life heard/seen.. Hell, the best band I have ever heard/seen... 💯
Hey, De Gem! Funny you should mention a member of this band looking like a wizard, because there are those of us who play role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, and this is their "unofficial" classes: Tuomas, the Keyboardist: Human Bard/Sorcerer Floor Jansen, vocalist: Celestial Bard/Warrior/Siren Jukka Nevalainen, drummer: Human Bard/Pirate Emppu Vuorinen, lead guitarist: Halfling Bard/Imp Marko Hietala, bass guitarist: Human bard/tiefling Troy Donockley, multi-instrumentalist: Human bard/Druid Note: Bards are actually Middle Ages-era musicians.
Nightwish is the official house band of the Gods of Asgard. She is not Xena, she is the 6' 1 Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and she is Dutch. She can sing low, very low and very high and she has an Awesome Endurance. This is song nr.13 out of 15. Seriously doubt that any pop divas can emulate Her...
Dont forget growling...she can literally make any diva run for their lives, if she growled at them...and let's not forget those badass faces she loves making on stage! 🤘🤘
Well well! Great reaction, you gorgeous lady. Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal an Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances ever. The 'Lucy Lawless/Xena" there is the Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen, the best singer in the world. The "Wizard" is the bassist Marko Hietala, who is also a very good singer. The drummer is "the Pirate" Jukka Nevalainen and the guitarist is "the Hobbit" Emppu Vuorinen. The mastermind behind all of this greatness is the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, whose "organ thing" there is only an impressive keyboard stand. Thank you and greetings from Finland!
She is the third singer in the band, the first was Tarja Turunen, next Anette Olzen and now with Floor Jansen, and as you see she is an skilled singer and the song is a beatiful masterpiece, but it's not the only (there are much more) you should react to -Everdream (wacken2013) -i want my tears back (wacken 2013 or buenos aires)
I love your reaction to this. I'm a long time metal fan - and never knew about nightwish untill about a year ago (I don't know how!). But I found them through a reaction video and absolutely love their stuff - especially with Floor. Of all the reaction videos I've seen on Nightwish - this is one of my favorites because I can see you getting sucked in just like I was. Great stuff!
Such a genuine and great reaction. You could tell you genuinely enjoyed and appreciated the video without feeling the need to 'over-hype' your reaction for the camera. Keep up the hard-work :) Love from Manchester, England.
❤❤👍 Lovely and real. More Nightwish, please and thank you. As big as this band has become in Europe and South America, they are still one of the best secrets out there. Each in the band are A-list musicians and they have a best in a generation front woman. Lots of good song suggestions already listed. You just might get hooked. I will definitely stick around. ❤❤
Love your reaction. GReetings from The Netherlands. Nigthwish from Finland and Floor Jansen from The Netherlands, a match made in Valhalla, and a gift from Odin to humanity. 🤟🤟🤟
This Glorious voice... Rabbit hole my rear! Too simplified! Floor may not be the most technical, but emotions come through like no other! Blessed be, stay safe!
I know my comment may inherently rub some wrong... my words are true, look and realize as you would Nightwish lyrics, don't just discount my words out of hand
The Bruh! @ the end! I'm lovin it, Your reaction put a smile hugely on my face!!!!! That alone is SUB worthy. You can see it in your face that you were engaged with the music the performance. Outstanding Reaction! THX!
Welcome to Nightwish, the world's finest purveyors of Symphonic Metal. And welcome to Floor Jansen, our Valkyrie goddess with the voice of an angel, a devil and everything in between. "What else does she have? What else can she possibly have?" is a question best asked after a few more songs - you've only scratched the surface of this singer and this band. Floor can and will sing anything - she's a bottomless well of vocal talent. So it makes perfect sense that she'd be fronting one of the most talented live bands in the world, with nearly all the music and lyrics written by a flat-out genius composer (you barely noticed him there behind the keyboards). "Wait a minute - she's singing this live?" No, it's "Wait a minute - she's singing this live, outdoors, in front of 82,000 people AND a film crew, headlining the biggest Metal festival in the world - and she's only been in the band for TEN MONTHS?" Yes, it's all true. Metal musicians, and Symphonic Metal musicians in particular, can't and don't hide behind AutoTune, tempo correction or any other studio tricks to make them sound better than they actually are. And live, there aren't any "back-up dancers" or flashy choreography to distract the audience from the singer's shortcomings. You have to be REALLY good to play this music, and even better to play it at this level. You'll be getting lots of information and suggestions from the Nightwish Army - we're a really passionate bunch, but that's okay because the band we're so passionate about is just that good. You may expect to say "This is my favorite Nightwish song" - "No, THIS is my favorite Nightwish song" over and over, with every new song that you hear. Eventually, most people just give up and say "Nightwish is my favorite band". So, please react to more Nightwish songs - your "Like" button will thank you, and so will the Army. And so will your ears and your heart. (MAKE AMERICA NIGHTWISH)
Floor Jensen, first of her name, queen of the Valkyries, lady of Nightwish, protector of our metal Realm and sovereign of mortal souls. May she reign in grace and power.
I am English and from England and I know Medieval history, I also heard Medieval music and I can tell you that the start of Nightwish's Ghost Love Score is NOT medieval at all. Why Floor Jansen's voice sounds incredible live is because she is the greatest female singer on the planet FACT. Flood Jansen is married to Sabaton's drummer Hannes van Dahl, lucky geezer I and many male Nightwish/Sabaton fans love her and her Angelic voice. She is our dream girl. I am a Sabaton Fan but I have to admit that Nightwish is my second favourite band. Floor Jansen has been back up vocals for a couple of Sabaton songs including the latest one, which is the true story of the Christmas Truce which happened on Christmas day 1914 ( for Americans it is WW1). When British soldiers including our own Hertfordshire Regiment and the German soldiers, walked onto No Man's land to talk, smoke, exchange gifts, drink and play Football ( proper football not the game you play that has nothing to do with playing the game with only feet). Floor Jansen sings with the end credits. British Sabaton Fan 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴🇸🇪🇸🇪🇫🇮🇫🇮🇱🇺🇱🇺
What a cool punch of information, that I didnt knew. I knew that she is married with Hannes and they live in Sweden. You have great taste of music🫡 I have to check that Sabaton Christmas Truce song out. Thank you. From happy Finn 🇬🇧🏴🤝🇫🇮
Floor is a tank. She has the training, discipline and experience to be be note-perfect every night. It's why she is the most perfect Nightwish singer yet. The other ones they had struggled to sing live for any extended period of time without getting sick.
Hola :D that was the last song of the show btw :D and her voice was still that good. Istn it also nice that for genre like metal you see so many smiling faces in the crowd and so much peace and harmony :D Iam not a metalhead myself, but I always love that energy on those concerts
Oh what a musical rabbit hole you have discovered. Buckle up Alice. Lol. I was introduced to Nightwish music last November and they are officially my favorite band. Love your reaction and looking forward to more reactions. I feel Romanticide, Song of Myself, and Storytime would be groovy next songs. Keep rockin. Carrie Ann, Mendota, Illinois...
Fantastic reaction to simply the greatest band on Earth - they have 9 albums of pure brilliance, and live is always where they sound the best. I've sub'd in the hope you'll take the NightWish journey 🤘
I couldn't have put it better myself. Your analysis, analyses are completely accurate. I could add, but frankly there is no need to. Btw, even though you are in leisure attire, your elegance radiates onto the screen, and the camera loves you for good reason.
Welcome to discovering a true singer. No auto tune, they play instruments, write their own songs and also they are nice people. I met them at a meet n greet. First time I was ever star struck.
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!!!
Welcome to the Nightwish family. That was our Queen Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen) and her brothers in arms, as she affectionately calls them. Nightwish is more than just another band, Nightwish is an experience. I have subscribed and can’t wait to see you embark on this journey called Nightwish. Greetings from Alabama 😎
Welcome to the Nightwish world. You ve witnessed the best vocalist in the world. Floor is amazing. When you check out more, you ll see. See her version of "Shallow" in the dutch show "Beste Zangers".
May I say, you have a very good sound system. Don't touch anything, now the one and only Floor JANSEN can sing anything, you will fine that out. Stick with the 2013 concert, everything is good on this concert. My suggestion is STORYTIME, GREAT REACTION. WILL RETURN.
Name:Floor Jansen(ex-After Forever,Re-Vamp,now on Nightwish) Country:Netherlands Vocal Type:Dramatic Coloratura Soprano Range:5 octaves(D3-D6) Coloratura Sopranos are rare, but her range of 5 octaves puts her into a being in the top 20 of all female vocalists. Maybe even #1. She stands 6' even barefoot, 6 '5" to 6' 6" onstage with her heels & boots. She is Dutch, and she is the Goddess Valkyrie of Metal. Only the first vocalist from Nightwish, Tarja Turunen, a 3 octave (C3 - G♯6) Coloratura Soprano, comes remotely close. Pop divas run in fear when Floor steps to the mic!
The best part of reaction videos is the reaction and yours is genuine and that makes for a great video. Floor is unmatched vocally and if she was a Pop singer she'd be bigger than Taylor Swift. Glad I found your channel and look forward to more reaction videos. And remember... Metal music is good for the soul. \m/
Hey De Gem, enjoyed your reaction. Have a listen to all the songs from Nightwish - Live At Wacken 2013. All of it is spell-binding. Nightwish Army on their way to you!
Fun fact: Nightwish fire their second singer Anette in the middle of an ongoing world tour and have to give the next concert two days later. Floor got burned out during the South American tour of her band ReVamp and had to take a break. Nightwish called her if she could fill in in 48 hours. Had she asked a doctor, she should have refused. But Floor was and is one of the biggest Nightwish fans, already knew a few songs and couldn't say no. It quickly becomes clear that she is indispensable and after the tour is over she will also become an official member. She released another album with ReVamp, but instead of going on tour she disband the band.

welcome to the fantastic musical universe of nightwish and floor jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music. from the same concert, wacken 2013, i suggest you to react to these songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream".
MY recommendations for your NEXT Nightwish vids are as follows: 1) Song of Myself (Wacken 2013), 2) Storytime (Wacken 2013), 3) Romanticide (Wacken 2913), 4) Shudder Before The Beautiful (Wembley 2015), 5) Ghost River (Wacken 2013) 6) Ever Dream (Wacken 2013). TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE getting to "The Poet and The Pendulum" (Wembley 2015) and "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere 2015).
"I Feel like xena right now, I feel like a warrior princess like i'm about to slay all these bastards" LMAO that was the best quote i've heard in a long long time.
Welcome to the world of Nightwish is not only floor Jensen is all the band every body have a lot of talent especially Thomas he compose almost all the music is a genius . You have to fallow them .
Fun Fact: Floor is the Dutch form of the Roman goddess Flora, the goddess of flowers and plants. So no Valkyrie who brings dead heroes from the battlefield to Valhalla paradise or Xena. Even if the costume looks great on her ;-)
@Phelan That'd be terrifying lmao. That energy tho, it's true. She's radiates confidence and has such a strong presence and command of the music AND of her own stage performance, she really gives it her all and that kind of thing is what people love in great leaders :D
Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and in particular, Nightwish and Floor Jansen, shortly before she became an official member of the band. Yes, you read that right - she got the call at her sister's wedding in The Netherlands on Saturday 29th Sept 2012 after the band had an irreparable falling out with their previous female lead vocalist mid-tour, and 48 hours later, having learned the entire setlist, was making her debut with them in Seattle WA on 1st October. This song wasn't even in the setlist at the time, but within 10 days she had dug it out of their back catalogue, re-written the ending, and persuaded them to add it. The first time she sang it publicly was on 10th October in Austin TX. This is almost at the end of the tour on August 3rd 2013, with only two more festivals to go. Floor graduated from a 3-year degree at the Rock Academy in the Netherlands (which she attended while also singing for After Forever) before doing more studies in musical theatre and opera. After the breakup of After Forever, she formed her own band, ReVamp, but this (luckily for Nightwish) was on hiatus following her burnout about a year before her call from the band and although they had been writing and recording new material, they had no immediate contractual obligations, so she was free to answer the call. ReVamp's 2nd and final album, Wild Card, was released 20 days after this concert, and shortly afterwards, on 9th October, Floor was announced as Nightwish's permanent female lead vocalist. Apparently the offer had been extended and accepted in the hotel bar after the Sauna Open Air festival in Tampere Finland on June 8th but remained a band secret until after the tour, and I suspect, the fulfilment of a contractual commitment to the release of ReVamp's album. Her voice extends from alto up through the entire range of her natural soprano, and does so seamlessly, as her chest, middle and head ranges overlap so that she can transition between them where it suits the music instead of where she has to. This song barely scratches the surface of her vocal ability. Most people sing what they can - Floor sings whatever she wants to, and can sing anything except badly!
Loved what you said it reminded you of (medieval, enchanted forest, Xena etc.) because that's precisely how the music is supposed to make you feel. I'm guessing you don't normally listen to metal, so that makes it fascinating how it still triggered all of that imagery for you even though you're not used to symphonic metal. Loved the reaction, loved the pauses.Not too few, not too many imo
Hello @ De Gem ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar..
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in 2013 at Wacken Open Air festival, in front of a 82k+ audience.
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.
As I saw, you appreciate all the key elements of a Nightwish show: the timeless composition, the high level of musicianship of all the bend members, the heavenly voice of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen, Welcome among us!
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the 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. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .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 "
Hope you'll continue this journey with us, so I'll drop here a list of songs with the current lineup of the band you may like:

Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
Her name is Floor Jansen, she had been singing for over an hour in this concert when this song came up. The whole concert (Wacken 2013) is amazing. Nightwish will become one of your favorites. Try Storytime or Everdream from this concert!!!!!!!
Storytime is what i recommend to all the newibies for their second song We are the Army so its pretty simple for us
Floor Jansen is a highly trained, highly skilled, charismatic stage monster. And you just heard about lets say 40% of what she can do. Supported by an all star cast of musicians. Try Storytime from this show.
Brother I think 40% may be about double or triple of what it is. o_o
@@Leishtek you are not wrong
Storytime = "meh..." compared to this
Floor is the best singer in this universe. Nightwish is the best live band ever in this universe. I cry everytime I listen this song. Pure magic. Greets from Finland 🤘🙏🏻🇫🇮❤️
She sounds like that live , because shes , Floor Jansen the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal , Nightwish`s present singer .
Great reaction! The Nightwish army are coming.....
Yes!
You’re FLOORed!!!
What dolt dislikes this wonderful, genuine and heartfelt reaction??
I see Gabriel has already posted his introductory message, so I'll spare you my own sermon. Welcome to Nightwish, enjoy, they have 120 great songs, and Floor Jansen is one of the best singers in the world when she doesn't slay dragons. (In sober reality, she prefers horseback riding to dragonslaying, which is about equally scary for me.)
:-)
Welcome to the world of Nightwish. Greetings from the Netherlands.
You probably wonder how she’s not the most famous person in the world.
I wonder it sometimes. But she and Nightwish are all coming from outside the U.S. corporate bubble, so...
@@kammurabi2313 Agreed, if they were an American band, they would be inducted into the Rock and roll hall of Fame...
@@eddiecreutzburg7375 HOF is a complete joke. Remember that Madonna is in and Judas Priest isn't!
Let's see . . . no sex scandals, no overblown artistic failures, no failed or successful rehab, no pile of famous ex-boyfriends, no stupid or skanky public behavior, no celebrity beefs, no crossover duets in unsuitable genres, no spectacularly sleazy stage show, no shave-my-head-batshit-crazy period, no hateful reality TV show, no horribly flawed personality, no vicious divorces, no terrible movies or sitcoms, no arrests or convictions, no public meltdowns, no unhinged social media posts, no talk-show catastrophes, no unbelievably ugly clothes, no idiotic statements to the press, no espousing weird beliefs, no "leaked" nude photos, no annoying hit single that people can't stand hearing, no bizarre music videos . . . hmm. I wonder why the American media wouldn't find her interesting?
@@donaldcampbell9483 Agreed, they let everyone in.The name is ridiculous, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Floor just warming up..."Amazing. What else does she have!?...Well, you just have to wait and see! Nice reaction!!
Welcome to Floor Jansen, the 6' Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. You've heard about 40% of what she can do. I've heard her sing rock, metal, classical aria, country, lullaby, smooth jazz, pop and musical. I've heard her sing in English, Dutch, German, Finnish, Spanish, Italian and Latin. I've heard her do deathgrowls and hold a D6 for 8 seconds. And I've heard her do all those things live on stage. Sure, there are singers who can do any of the things she does better than her, but there's only one who can do all of them and sound great and convincing doing it all.
I completely agree, except for that part about other singers being better. Hehe.
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, keys, band founder in 1996, leader, mastermind, composes, writes lyrics to and arranges vast majority of Nightwish songs.
Marko Hietala bass and vocals
Emppu Vuorinen guitar
Jukka Nevalainen drums, replaced in 2015 by his good friend Kai Hahto due to Jukka's insomnia.
Troy Donockley the multi-instrumentalist from the UK, not present on this performance.
And last but not least, Floor Jansen vocals, from the Netherlands.
She is the 3rd and current female lead vocalist of Nightwish from 2012 on.
Original female lead vocalist was Tarja Turunen 1996-2005, 2nd was Anette Olzon from Sweden 2007-2012.
I wish you keep on reacting to more Nightwish. I suggest "Ever Dream" Wacken 2013 Official Live so that you hear Marko and Floor on vocals together. They complement each other amazingly.
Greetings from Helsinki Finland!
Nice one bro.
Glad you wrote this, everyone needs to find out about Nightwish.
Love it, greetings from Finland 🇫🇮 ❤️!!
"Why does she sound like this live?" Massive talent!
That's how you send pop divas back to school to learn how to sing.
An she's doing it in front 82000 metalheads live.
An that's just little bit of what she is capable of.
I TOLD YOU FLOOR GOT VOCALS! SHE CAN BLOW FR FR!
Your favorite color ... Orange color = Dutch color ... Floor = Dutch ... I see the attraction
Nightwish is a Finnish band and here are the members currently:
- Tuomas Holopainen - Keyboards & main composer/arranger - Finnish
- Floor Jansen - Main Vocals - Dutch
- Marco Hietala - Bass & Vocals - Finnish
- Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist - Finnish
- Kai Hahto - Drums - Finnish (In the video you just watched it was still Jukka Nevalainen, he left as the drummer in 2014 and is now with the band's management team)
- Troy Donockley - Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, vocals, guitar, keyboards, bouzouki, etc. - English
The backing tracks are recorded with the London Philarmonic full orchestra and choir.
They had 2 previous singers Tarja Turunen 1996-2005 and Anette Olzon 2007-2012.
Best method for reacting to Nightwish that I figured from watching reactors and discovering them recently and exploring their catalog myself:
Keep the particularly long and complex songs listed below, if you have not watched them already, for after you have seen all the more standard ones from the 4 live shows mentioned in the numbered list:
- Ghost Love Score (Wacken) 10 minutes
- The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley) 14 minutes >>> Doing some research on the background story for this song is very important to be able to appreciate the meaning of the lyrics.
- Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere) 21 minutes
1- Just do all the Wacken 2013 songs, they are all great.
2- Then the Wembley 2015 ones that are not part of the Wacken show.
3- Then the remaining songs from Tampere 2015 that were not in the previous 2 shows mentioned.
4- Then the older songs from Buenos Aires 2018 that were not in the previous 3 shows mentioned.
5- To see what they can do with a cover and if you like Marco's singing, watch their interpretation of Pink Floyd's High Hopes.
6- Then you can explore Floor's versatility with her band ReVamp's live performances of the songs Disdain at Graspop and Wild Card at Bloodstock.
7- And finally go in the deep end of the Floor talent pool by reacting to her performances on Beste Zangers in the order the episodes aired.
For the first 4 steps, you can alternate between shows, but I would recommend to still only take songs that are not performed in the previous shows mentioned, as they are ordered in audio quality from best to worst.
From watching a lot of reactions, in my opinion this is the most efficient order to discover the rabbit hole that is Nightwish and Floor Jansen.
That should keep you busy for a while. 😀
Girl, you aint' seen anything yet.
This is my favorite Nightwish song.
Nothing is random in what you hear, everything is perfectly calculated and thought trough down to the last note of every musical organ you can and can't distinguish.
Holopainen (the keyboardist ) is a musical genius, add the talent of the other members, and you get an unforgettable musical experience out of this world.
The Dutch Goddess (Floor Jansen) is their 3rd singer, and in my opinion the most versatile and "right" for the band.
I hope to see them just once in my lifetime.
If you haven't already, also check the song "The Greatest Show On Earth"
"Why does she sound like this live?" ...It's called TALENT.
Turning the world on to Nightwish & our Valkyrie Queen makes me 😁🔥
What else does she have?
Me: Snickering...oh just wait. You have a long journey ahead of you!
Yeah... And we're gonna love it
De Gem is like: - What else does she have?
13:54 is like: - THIS.
The thing about Floor is that you can listen to 10 or 15 Nightwish songs and still not hear everything she can do.
Great reaction!😉. Metal has never been my taste in music at all but I accidentally discovered Nightwish about 2 months ago and now obsessed with them! Lol.. Especially the beautiful, amazing Floor Jansen 😍🤩🤗. Hands down this is literally the best live performance I have ever in my life heard/seen.. Hell, the best band I have ever heard/seen... 💯
Hey, De Gem!
Funny you should mention a member of this band looking like a wizard, because there are those of us who play role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, and this is their "unofficial" classes:
Tuomas, the Keyboardist: Human Bard/Sorcerer
Floor Jansen, vocalist: Celestial Bard/Warrior/Siren
Jukka Nevalainen, drummer: Human Bard/Pirate
Emppu Vuorinen, lead guitarist: Halfling Bard/Imp
Marko Hietala, bass guitarist: Human bard/tiefling
Troy Donockley, multi-instrumentalist: Human bard/Druid
Note: Bards are actually Middle Ages-era musicians.
Nightwish is the official house band of the Gods of Asgard. She is not Xena, she is the 6' 1 Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and she is Dutch.
She can sing low, very low and very high and she has an Awesome Endurance. This is song nr.13 out of 15.
Seriously doubt that any pop divas can emulate Her...
Those divas just use autotune.........
Done
Dont forget growling...she can literally make any diva run for their lives, if she growled at them...and let's not forget those badass faces she loves making on stage! 🤘🤘
Well well! Great reaction, you gorgeous lady. Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal an Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances ever. The 'Lucy Lawless/Xena" there is the Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen, the best singer in the world. The "Wizard" is the bassist Marko Hietala, who is also a very good singer. The drummer is "the Pirate" Jukka Nevalainen and the guitarist is "the Hobbit" Emppu Vuorinen. The mastermind behind all of this greatness is the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, whose "organ thing" there is only an impressive keyboard stand. Thank you and greetings from Finland!
She is the third singer in the band, the first was Tarja Turunen, next Anette Olzen and now with Floor Jansen, and as you see she is an skilled singer and the song is a beatiful masterpiece, but it's not the only (there are much more) you should react to
-Everdream (wacken2013)
-i want my tears back (wacken 2013 or buenos aires)
I love your reaction to this. I'm a long time metal fan - and never knew about nightwish untill about a year ago (I don't know how!). But I found them through a reaction video and absolutely love their stuff - especially with Floor. Of all the reaction videos I've seen on Nightwish - this is one of my favorites because I can see you getting sucked in just like I was. Great stuff!
Such a genuine and great reaction. You could tell you genuinely enjoyed and appreciated the video without feeling the need to 'over-hype' your reaction for the camera.
Keep up the hard-work :)
Love from Manchester, England.
Thanks! I’m happy you noticed!
nightwish army is coming . i hope you react on more Nightwish and to Floor Jansen
Yep, thats Floor Jansen the Valkyrie Goddess!!
❤❤👍 Lovely and real. More Nightwish, please and thank you. As big as this band has become in Europe and South America, they are still one of the best secrets out there. Each in the band are A-list musicians and they have a best in a generation front woman.
Lots of good song suggestions already listed. You just might get hooked. I will definitely stick around. ❤❤
lol, she was asleep a few seconds ago and just got up and sang.....love it!
Love your reaction. GReetings from The Netherlands.
Nigthwish from Finland and Floor Jansen from The Netherlands, a match made in Valhalla, and a gift from Odin to humanity. 🤟🤟🤟
I'm a simple man, I see a new Nightwish reaction, I click the thumbnail. Welcome to Nightwish!
Lovely reaction! Enjoy your journey with Nightwish! It will change your life in a good way! Peace!
Watching first time reactors to Nightwish, is an amazing hobby. haha. Nicely done.
Love the reaction. Floor blindsides pretty much every new listener the same way. I know she took me there, for sure. This whole show is pure magic.
Thanks a lot, Lady! U know...every single word, every single emotion you gave us, is true! Great reaction and so well received by many, I'm sure ;-}
Great job! I will never get tired of people seeing Floor sing. Nightwish is amazing. They are. Floor is incomparable.
This Glorious voice... Rabbit hole my rear! Too simplified! Floor may not be the most technical, but emotions come through like no other! Blessed be, stay safe!
I know my comment may inherently rub some wrong... my words are true, look and realize as you would Nightwish lyrics, don't just discount my words out of hand
The Bruh! @ the end! I'm lovin it, Your reaction put a smile hugely on my face!!!!! That alone is SUB worthy. You can see it in your face that you were engaged with the music the performance. Outstanding Reaction! THX!
Welcome to Nightwish, the world's finest purveyors of Symphonic Metal. And welcome to Floor Jansen, our Valkyrie goddess with the voice of an angel, a devil and everything in between. "What else does she have? What else can she possibly have?" is a question best asked after a few more songs - you've only scratched the surface of this singer and this band. Floor can and will sing anything - she's a bottomless well of vocal talent. So it makes perfect sense that she'd be fronting one of the most talented live bands in the world, with nearly all the music and lyrics written by a flat-out genius composer (you barely noticed him there behind the keyboards).
"Wait a minute - she's singing this live?" No, it's "Wait a minute - she's singing this live, outdoors, in front of 82,000 people AND a film crew, headlining the biggest Metal festival in the world - and she's only been in the band for TEN MONTHS?" Yes, it's all true. Metal musicians, and Symphonic Metal musicians in particular, can't and don't hide behind AutoTune, tempo correction or any other studio tricks to make them sound better than they actually are. And live, there aren't any "back-up dancers" or flashy choreography to distract the audience from the singer's shortcomings. You have to be REALLY good to play this music, and even better to play it at this level.
You'll be getting lots of information and suggestions from the Nightwish Army - we're a really passionate bunch, but that's okay because the band we're so passionate about is just that good. You may expect to say "This is my favorite Nightwish song" - "No, THIS is my favorite Nightwish song" over and over, with every new song that you hear. Eventually, most people just give up and say "Nightwish is my favorite band".
So, please react to more Nightwish songs - your "Like" button will thank you, and so will the Army. And so will your ears and your heart.
(MAKE AMERICA NIGHTWISH)
Floor Jensen, first of her name, queen of the Valkyries, lady of Nightwish, protector of our metal Realm and sovereign of mortal souls. May she reign in grace and power.
You wanna hear more of her effortless vocals? Check out “Nightwish - The Poet And The Pendulum (live).” Soulgasm!
Loved your reaction.. there has been only few who uses word effortless and that's how she makes it look like 100%. You did this effortlessly too ;)
Ooooh yes! Good reaction! 👍🏻👍🏻
People who like Nightwish, will often also recommend The HU - Wolf Totem, and Heilung - LIFA Krigsgaldr LIVE (I was at that concert).
I am English and from England and I know Medieval history, I also heard Medieval music and I can tell you that the start of Nightwish's Ghost Love Score is NOT medieval at all. Why Floor Jansen's voice sounds incredible live is because she is the greatest female singer on the planet FACT. Flood Jansen is married to Sabaton's drummer Hannes van Dahl, lucky geezer I and many male Nightwish/Sabaton fans love her and her Angelic voice. She is our dream girl. I am a Sabaton Fan but I have to admit that Nightwish is my second favourite band. Floor Jansen has been back up vocals for a couple of Sabaton songs including the latest one, which is the true story of the Christmas Truce which happened on Christmas day 1914 ( for Americans it is WW1). When British soldiers including our own Hertfordshire Regiment and the German soldiers, walked onto No Man's land to talk, smoke, exchange gifts, drink and play Football ( proper football not the game you play that has nothing to do with playing the game with only feet). Floor Jansen sings with the end credits. British Sabaton Fan 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴🇸🇪🇸🇪🇫🇮🇫🇮🇱🇺🇱🇺
What a cool punch of information, that I didnt knew. I knew that she is married with Hannes and they live in Sweden. You have great taste of music🫡
I have to check that Sabaton Christmas Truce song out. Thank you. From happy Finn 🇬🇧🏴🤝🇫🇮
Floor is a tank. She has the training, discipline and experience to be be note-perfect every night. It's why she is the most perfect Nightwish singer yet. The other ones they had struggled to sing live for any extended period of time without getting sick.
Hola :D that was the last song of the show btw :D and her voice was still that good. Istn it also nice that for genre like metal you see so many smiling faces in the crowd and so much peace and harmony :D Iam not a metalhead myself, but I always love that energy on those concerts
This is like a sampler track of her ability.
Welcome to your Nightwish journey. Every song us different and awesome :) have fun!
Give us more, please!
Oh what a musical rabbit hole you have discovered. Buckle up Alice. Lol. I was introduced to Nightwish music last November and they are officially my favorite band. Love your reaction and looking forward to more reactions. I feel Romanticide, Song of Myself, and Storytime would be groovy next songs. Keep rockin. Carrie Ann, Mendota, Illinois...
Welcome to Nightwish world, you will love the band, they are awesome musicians, enjoy it, try with I Want my Tears Back from Wacken 2013 show
De Gem: So far it sounds good,
Everybody: Wait for it, wait for it.
If you mix royal blue with red lightning you'll get that effect. It looks really nice, more so in reality.
Fantastic reaction to simply the greatest band on Earth - they have 9 albums of pure brilliance, and live is always where they sound the best. I've sub'd in the hope you'll take the NightWish journey 🤘
You have just stumbled upon the best vocalist on the planet, this is about 1/10th of what she has. please continue down the rabbit hole
Welcome to the world that is Nightwish, enjoy the journey!!!
You really are the gem, loved your reaction 💖
Nice reaction, please next Song of Myself, same concert live at Wacken 2013
I couldn't have put it better myself. Your analysis, analyses are completely accurate. I could add, but frankly there is no need to. Btw, even though you are in leisure attire, your elegance radiates onto the screen, and the camera loves you for good reason.
This is the 13th song of a 16 song set and she's still singing like that. I have the whole concert DVD. It's amazing
Welcome to discovering a true singer. No auto tune, they play instruments, write their own songs and also they are nice people. I met them at a meet n greet. First time I was ever star struck.
This video is brought to you by "Wow" 😉
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!!!
Welcome to the Nightwish family. That was our Queen Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen) and her brothers in arms, as she affectionately calls them. Nightwish is more than just another band, Nightwish is an experience. I have subscribed and can’t wait to see you embark on this journey called Nightwish. Greetings from Alabama 😎
Welcome to the Nightwish world. You ve witnessed the best vocalist in the world. Floor is amazing. When you check out more, you ll see. See her version of "Shallow" in the dutch show "Beste Zangers".
Prepare to be floored 🤟🏻😜🔥🎤🎸🎇🎆 I got floored hearing it the first time lol 😂
May I say, you have a very good sound system. Don't touch anything, now the one and only Floor JANSEN can sing anything, you will fine that out. Stick with the 2013 concert, everything is good on this concert. My suggestion is STORYTIME, GREAT REACTION. WILL RETURN.
Name:Floor Jansen(ex-After Forever,Re-Vamp,now on Nightwish) Country:Netherlands Vocal Type:Dramatic Coloratura Soprano Range:5 octaves(D3-D6) Coloratura Sopranos are rare, but her range of 5 octaves puts her into a being in the top 20 of all female vocalists. Maybe even #1. She stands 6' even barefoot, 6 '5" to 6' 6" onstage with her heels & boots. She is Dutch, and she is the Goddess Valkyrie of Metal. Only the first vocalist from Nightwish, Tarja Turunen, a 3 octave (C3 - G♯6) Coloratura Soprano, comes remotely close. Pop divas run in fear when Floor steps to the mic!
The best part of reaction videos is the reaction and yours is genuine and that makes for a great video. Floor is unmatched vocally and if she was a Pop singer she'd be bigger than Taylor Swift. Glad I found your channel and look forward to more reaction videos. And remember... Metal music is good for the soul. \m/
Hey De Gem, enjoyed your reaction. Have a listen to all the songs from Nightwish - Live At Wacken 2013. All of it is spell-binding. Nightwish Army on their way to you!
Fun fact: Nightwish fire their second singer Anette in the middle of an ongoing world tour and have to give the next concert two days later. Floor got burned out during the South American tour of her band ReVamp and had to take a break. Nightwish called her if she could fill in in 48 hours. Had she asked a doctor, she should have refused. But Floor was and is one of the biggest Nightwish fans, already knew a few songs and couldn't say no. It quickly becomes clear that she is indispensable and after the tour is over she will also become an official member. She released another album with ReVamp, but instead of going on tour she disband the band.
"What else does she have??"
Nightwish fans: "oh just you wait 😁"

welcome to the fantastic musical universe of nightwish and floor jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music.
from the same concert, wacken 2013, i suggest you to react to these songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream".
MY recommendations for your NEXT Nightwish vids are as follows: 1) Song of Myself (Wacken 2013), 2) Storytime (Wacken 2013), 3) Romanticide (Wacken 2913), 4) Shudder Before The Beautiful (Wembley 2015), 5) Ghost River (Wacken 2013) 6) Ever Dream (Wacken 2013). TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE getting to "The Poet and The Pendulum" (Wembley 2015) and "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere 2015).
Hahaa this is liveeeee, it's almost ridiculous! 😵 Cool reaction! Thanks💫
Nice reaction, and welcome to Nightwish, i suggested Ever Dream or Storytime the same concert, greetings from México. Nightwish Army are here!!!
Nightwish Only three US cities in 2021 Lowell, MA 10-7-2021 Tickets on sale now
One of the best reactions to this song and ive watched hundreds
Ultra Violet? Great reaction. Welcome to the Nightwish family :)
Love your reaction brilliant
"I Feel like xena right now, I feel like a warrior princess like i'm about to slay all these bastards" LMAO that was the best quote i've heard in a long long time.
P.S. When Nightwish Fans Get Goosbumps, And React With Amazement At Floor's Vocals, It's Called A Floorgasm !!
"Imma bout to slay all these bastards"
True, True
Welcome to the world of Nightwish is not only floor Jensen is all the band every body have a lot of talent especially Thomas he compose almost all the music is a genius . You have to fallow them .
Loved your reaction, you’re ‘one of us’ now!
Fun Fact: Floor is the Dutch form of the Roman goddess Flora, the goddess of flowers and plants. So no Valkyrie who brings dead heroes from the battlefield to Valhalla paradise or Xena. Even if the costume looks great on her ;-)
And so the Metal journey begins........ 🖤🤘
Floor Jansen could've commanded that audience to invade the city if she wanted to. She's powerful. Reminds me of like, Joan of Arc.
@Phelan That'd be terrifying lmao.
That energy tho, it's true. She's radiates confidence and has such a strong presence and command of the music AND of her own stage performance, she really gives it her all and that kind of thing is what people love in great leaders :D
Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and in particular, Nightwish and Floor Jansen, shortly before she became an official member of the band. Yes, you read that right - she got the call at her sister's wedding in The Netherlands on Saturday 29th Sept 2012 after the band had an irreparable falling out with their previous female lead vocalist mid-tour, and 48 hours later, having learned the entire setlist, was making her debut with them in Seattle WA on 1st October. This song wasn't even in the setlist at the time, but within 10 days she had dug it out of their back catalogue, re-written the ending, and persuaded them to add it. The first time she sang it publicly was on 10th October in Austin TX.
This is almost at the end of the tour on August 3rd 2013, with only two more festivals to go.
Floor graduated from a 3-year degree at the Rock Academy in the Netherlands (which she attended while also singing for After Forever) before doing more studies in musical theatre and opera. After the breakup of After Forever, she formed her own band, ReVamp, but this (luckily for Nightwish) was on hiatus following her burnout about a year before her call from the band and although they had been writing and recording new material, they had no immediate contractual obligations, so she was free to answer the call. ReVamp's 2nd and final album, Wild Card, was released 20 days after this concert, and shortly afterwards, on 9th October, Floor was announced as Nightwish's permanent female lead vocalist. Apparently the offer had been extended and accepted in the hotel bar after the Sauna Open Air festival in Tampere Finland on June 8th but remained a band secret until after the tour, and I suspect, the fulfilment of a contractual commitment to the release of ReVamp's album.
Her voice extends from alto up through the entire range of her natural soprano, and does so seamlessly, as her chest, middle and head ranges overlap so that she can transition between them where it suits the music instead of where she has to. This song barely scratches the surface of her vocal ability.
Most people sing what they can - Floor sings whatever she wants to, and can sing anything except badly!
Welcome to the family. There's quite a journey ahead of you :)
I still feel like that after seeing this 100 times
Loved what you said it reminded you of (medieval, enchanted forest, Xena etc.) because that's precisely how the music is supposed to make you feel. I'm guessing you don't normally listen to metal, so that makes it fascinating how it still triggered all of that imagery for you even though you're not used to symphonic metal. Loved the reaction, loved the pauses.Not too few, not too many imo
Welcome to the Nightwish family.
Enjoyed your reaction. Floor brought me back to Nightwish with her voice. She is their 3rd vocalist and their best imo.
