The audience doesn't know yet how lucky they are. They're at an absolutely legendary concert.
True! I feel like this is where Floor was really truly debuted to the world as the voice of Nightwish. I mean, she'd already been touring with them, but the broad reach of this venue, plus these videos...
Given how much impact she's had on Nightwish and its fan base, I feel like this show was one of the biggest moments in Nightwish history, perhaps the most definitive and permanent markers of their style and flavor.
I was on this Concert😀Best Concert😀💞
@@michi_gaminghd2161 WOW! Cool! Wish I had been there!
I think they do
@@michi_gaminghd2161 If I wasn't trying to follow the teachings of Buddha and become one generous spirt, I would tell you to go fuck yourself and drown in my own vomit of envy. But since I am, I'll say: Happy you made it man! You took part in the most epic Nightwish concert yet! Well done.
Floor walks on stage, and owns it, for the rest of the whole show.
Reagal Along with Jukka;) Really hope he gets back to the band soon(Don't even know why i just answers to a 2 year old comment haha)
Reagal absolutely. The Queen of Metal. The only thing she needs to be World dominator is the Dragons from Deneyrus.
Hey guy, even as a total Tarja fan I love your comment!
Lol “floor”
@@KarlstadDrums I think he will if he can conquer his chronic insomnia. I know Floor wants him back, Jukka is such a dynamic drummer. She wants Marko back too, they sing so well together.
Funny story: tonight at work I asked most of my coworkers what their favorite bands were...and most of them told me about country bands, or some rappers...whatever, but one lady -- she's got to be pushing 70 -- said to me, "well, I think they're called Dark Chest of Wonders, or something like that...wow. The drummer sounds like he has 3 arms!" I raised my eyebrow a bit. "What genre of music? Sounds familiar..." She thought for a moment and said, "I think it's Swedish Black Metal, but I'm not sure. You should check them out." Obviously a bit off with the names and genre, but seriously, how awesome is it for a 70 year old to be rocking out to Nightwish? :)
Lord Jocko That's my plan as long as the band hangs in there.
You're either a very bad liar or just a horrible storyteller.
Toon Reunis ...and you came to this conclusion based on...? Well, sorry to disappoint you. I just thought I'd share a cool little experience that I had, that's all. You are right about one thing, though : I AM a bad liar, and that's why I speak the truth. As for horrible storytelling, well, at least 19 people liked it, so you can go Troll someone else. Have a nice day!
Lord Jocko We'll stick with horrible storyteller then, have a nice day.
Toon Reunis Seriously? You must have really high standards for UA-cam forum stories. Perhaps you should share one of your stories, as an example of something worthy. I would be interested. But then, maybe you don't have any good stories at all.
Listening to Nightwish again, because of Floor!
When she began to sing, it looked like a sudden appearance of WN5h star encircled in a shockwave... O:psh -> WN5h:a with a great flash like which you've NEVER seen!
Same
Same here.
My first ever nightwish experience was Floor at Wacken and it was this year. I tried listening to Tarja and Annette I just can't seem to get into them. I need floors energy!
Yeahhhhhhhhhh
She's not a woman. She is a dragon.
LittlePhoenix93 she is the Dragon Goddess 😄
@@rheyv5790 So...she is Tiamat, The Dragon Goddess
would that make Sharon den Adel, of Within Temptation, Bahamut the Platinum Dragon?
Dragons wish that they could be Floor.
Female dragon please
I just loooove Floor's voice and the way she bangs her head. She's an amazing performer.
yes she is, love that on her :) and her voice also...
Everybody listening Nightwish again \o/
THANK YOU FLOOR!!!
And this is how one of the greatest live performances in the history of metal started.
Floor is so powerful. The minute she walks on stage she just captivates.
I don't care who sings this song as long as Jukka is one the drums!
Hope he can cure soon and come back!
cure? i dont read much on them whats he in need of curing?
+jason fidler He's got serious insomnia since a few years ago, so he needs long rest to be back.
Oh ok thanks
I agree. I have a huge sympathy towards Jukka. He is the one who inspired to dream of one day playing drums myself. My heart is with him, I hope a miracle will happen to him regarding his insomnia. I trully wish he will play again sometime
The way she can simply transition between rock and classical (operatic) singing with such ease is like nothing I have ever heard before.
Reaction by Opera stage director on YT: "in this way Floor is even better then most big Opera singers: whereas the Opera stars often have difficulty in transitioning from the operatic range to the chest voice (which they not often use) they often "clunk" from the one to the other. The amazing thing about Floor Jansen is that she can effortlessly and fluently transition between these registers, make mixes at will etc. This is something most Opera stars Can NOT do..."
They could not have found a better singer than Floor Jansen. She is remarkable. May she stay with the band for years to come.
So true. She can sing Tarja Turunen old Nightwish era songs. And better. I don't mean Tarja is bad. Without Tarja there would be Nightwish. Without Nightwish there would be symphonic metal. I love sleeping sun, when Tarja sing it. I mean on record. Floor sing sleeping sun better in live.
@@markokumpulainen8742well Therion is Symphonic metal and they did before Nightwish.
@@Theshark15z That didn't know. Thank you 😀
well.. lets just be real.. they did find one, long before floor ever came into the picture..
but.. they decided to cut her loose at the end of the tour with a letter. 👎😤
so you are partially right: i dont know that they could have 'found' another one better AFTER that happened..
@@Theshark15z After Forever and Anneke van Giersbergen / the Gathering started before Nightwish, and some other bands in the genre
This whole concert, start to finish - is an absolute vocal CLINIC. Kids - do you want to learn rock vocals? This is the gold standard right here. This is how it's done.
This whole show is a clinic on how you DO a show. Every detail is on point. It's STUNNING.
This is the asymptote, for no one can perform as HEAVENLY as Nightwish with Her Imperial Majesty Floor Jansen!
Dare I say that Nw has found it's future singer. It's sometimes hard to admit that a band can still be good after a drastic change. I grew up listening to them with Tarja but fuck nostalgia, this rocks! Floor is a perfect fit to this band.
This concert is a masterpiece.
Absolutely. It blows me away.
This chick is second to none.. she can literally sing ANY style out there with ease...shes going to bring NW to places they've never even dreamed of...cant wait to see what happens
I completely agree. I think they are on the path to great things. I was a huge fan of Tarja. Still am. Anette, while she did have a good voice, it never sounded like a good fit at least in my ears. I think we're in for some great fucking metal from Floor.
Yeah! Floor Jansen is the Empress of Metal! Hail Her Imperial Majesty, live she long and shine bright!
Andrew Bolshakov hahahaha hail Jansen !!
cierto Floor es la mejor
I haven't heard her yodel yet but I'm sure if she did that would be pure awesomeness like the rest of her range.
This video is the best performance of a woman singing a metal song I've seen in my entire life.
Everdream wacken
She also nails story time
Storytime and Ghost love score for sure
Ghost Love Score, Wacken 2013, The Poet and the Pendulum Wembley stadium, Song of Myself (Wacken 2013), etc...
pls pls see and listen to GHOST LOVE SCORE, from same concert, prepare for goosebumps....be well;-)
You can see the entire band enjoying themselves in this piece. Floor is priceless.
in 2019
I still like this.
Is anybody here?
We're here. Still listening, still rocking.
This song is in the list of songs I created if Nightwish ever entered into a Battle of the Bands and had to play a 7-song set.
I keep coming back. I think 1M of those 2.8M are mine!
Yes! I still love this song, and I still love Floor and I still love Nightwish! And even worse, I still allow myself to love Tarja above anything in music! Forgive me! HAHA :)
#WeWereHere
Hello!!
When I first heard this, my jaw literally dropped. Floor's got one of the most incredible, beautiful voices I've ever heard.
I stopped listening to Nightwish after Tarja left. And then I happened to run into Nightwish live videos again. And you know what?! Floor is the best thing that ever happened to this band. In my opinion, she is so amazing live. I simply cannot stop listening to live versions of every song I could possibly find by Floor. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration for me. Keep this up! ♡♡♡
Nothing but live
I agree. Floor is very versatile vocalist and her stage presence is SO MUCH better than Tarja’s. Sorry to say it but for me Tarja always looked stiff and uncomfortable on stage. She is a great singer but Floor fits NW better!
@@mmnde12 Seriously? I think you would have to watch this live again and say if Tarja really felt "uncomfortable" on stage, Floor sings very well and it is true that it is versatile but I do not know... I still prefer Tarja...
ua-cam.com/video/ROdKrGVVuI8/v-deo.html
@@lord_paradox ....Tarja is artistically limited, with a good, but not special, operetic voice. NIGHTWISH outgrew her.
Simply fully agree!
Once I had a dream
And this is it
Once there was a child's dream
One night the clock struck twelve
The window open wide
Once there was a child's heart
The age I learned to fly
And took a step outside
Once I knew all the tales
It's time to turn back time
Follow the pale moonlight
Once I wished for this night
Faith brought me here
It's time to cut the rope and fly
Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago
The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me
This night will bring him back to me
Fly to a dream
She's perfect
"Multiple Floorgasm's" each time I hear this!
Maria Lannister ML ~ Merry Christmas to you and yours! It is my hope that you miraculously realize a "White Christmas!" So much to be thankful for! Bought a great book by George RR Martin explaining and detailing all of the Great Houses and their blood-lines. Game of Thrones kicks off soon! All the best to you "Maria Lannister". May God Bless and Keep You and may He make his face Shine on you during this Holiday season! Shalom! MrNewo123 ~
Maria Lannister ML ~ Love it!
What can be wrong with anything T. Burton or J. Depp do working together? So cool. You guys rock. My youngest son is blind and loves to watch "Frankenweenie" HA!
Can you imagine...? (Obviously you can!). TH doing a two CD set for Christmas? One CD a Concerto' written and arranged by TH including symphony and choral work? CD 2 could be classic Christmas Hymms / Carols? Can you imagine a TH arrangement of "Oh come Emmanuel?" I would weep from the first note to the last... (I do already). Love the idea!
I just inquired about VIP packages for NW's April 26th, 2015 show. I'd really enjoy the opportunity to meet the band and have pics taken with them. Of course (Withmy Wife's blessing) I would want one with just Floor and I... Whew!
My youngest has got to go back stage twice to meet and revisit with Country Star "Toby Keith". The last show this year he actually played a song Connor-Andrew requested and dedicated it to him before performing it. When he finished it he said "I love you Connor-Andrew my Little-Buddy"). TK is alright in my book though I'm not a country music guy. CA gets that through is Grandparents. :-)
I you feel like sending a pic of your Themed Christmas Décor we'd love to see it. NAowen09@gmail is my email address. (If there is any way to erase the YT communique' after you read it that would be cool so my email is not out there for everyone?)
I'll send you a picture of our Christmas décor in exchange? If this seems too weird please tell me.
God Bless!
N.
Maria Lannister ML ~ I love the TH Christmas album.... I think it to be brilliant.
I'll post two pictures of TOby and Connor-Andrew. The first time they met was in Hartford, CT and the second time at the WA State Fair in Puyallup. I wont get to it until tomorrow as I am about ready to crash.... I think you guys have a creative home covered in Love. So cool.
I had no idea that "I want my tears back" is inspired by Disney? I watched the documentary on the making of "Scrooge McDuck?" that he wrote the soundtrack for, He is so brilliant yet looks the part of a Dark-Rock-Musician". I will miss seeing Jukka on the kit. Such an animated drummer and so tight.... Did you see a third act has been added to the bill?
Ok Girl. We'll figure the pic thing out tomorrow. My best to Joseph. (I don't think I'd like Susan to go back stage at any show without me! LOL).
Sleep well!
A third band was added to the show... Cannot recall the name at this point but I believe they are German. If it's the band I think i it is it's an odd fit?
YenSids Army Hi "ML" Happy New Year! The band is "Sabaton..."
Holy shit what a performance! Floor is absolutely on fire, and I am completely enchanted by her.
As a no-body in Canada, I been listening to Floor since 05' her After Forever days, was even listening to NW same time. Time goes on high school college kids and a beautiful home. Nw singers going left and right, then omg Floor Jansen. One of the best singers joined one of my favorite bands. WOW. I'm so happy for her.
we nightwishers fly to a dream again, thanks to you, Jansen
I miss Jukka😭 Kai is amazing too, but no other drummer is as expressive as Jukka Nevalainen... his faces give the songs even more power than they already have❤
This is the way to open a concert
you couldn't have a more versatile singer with a bigger sound than her and Nightwish and this song that really helps to showcase what compositions go what mister Tuomas Holopainen and company can do is so intellectually stimulating because no one puts heavy metal and the sounds and colors of the symphony together and they do it with such elegance and raw power this song is another where everyone can shine they have alot of songs like that
Just hearing this for the first time. This woman is incredible. I’m completely blown away.
Never knew this band existed until now. I really feel like I missed a lot.
Welcome to the family, my friend!
You're in for a treat, lol
The presence of this woman is goddess-like. Owns the stage firs0t second she stepped foot on it. Undeniable power, and the other members feed on her energy.
Someone else having goosebumps in the the last two "once so long ago"?
What a spetacular singer!!!!!!!
FLOOR. FUCKING. JANSEN. That is all.
sexy woman
I have to admit that, even though I'm a huge fan of Tarja, Floor's voice is freaking incredible! This gave me chills. I can't wait to hear Nightwish's next album.
I never really wrote a comment about the many singers of Nightwish, but such comments are all I've been seeing since Floor joined the band, so I'm going to give my 2 cents and simply stop reading Nightwish comments altogether.
All three singers stand on equal grounds for me, but my personal favourite is Floor, not because she is the best, but because of her versatility. It's going to be a great strength if she sticks with the band for further albums because it will allow Tuomas to create music without worrying about whether or not the singer will be able to handle it. Floor can and will handle it.
That's just my 2 cents though. I respect all three singers, Tarja Turunen, Anette Olzon and Floor Jansen.
+Rokusan Sangen Tarja was the OG of nightwigh she was the best I get it from every fan but the matter of fact we are at 2016 and Floor is what nightwish is at.
After watching the entire show my only thought was "Nightwish is back".
Floor give the fan excellent vocal, interaction and sexy vibe as a metal band should be.
Tarja was an event, Anette was deception (look at the deception from the fan in the live videos), floor is a proper metal show.
+alexv182 We must have been listening to different Tarja's. She was a novelty that now is everywhere in symphonic metal. If you think she's a great classical singer try listening to Lori Lewis or better still some of the top opera divas of the day. Maybe it will give you some perspective.
+Rokusan Sangen
I agree. But I also love Floor because she's taller and sexy, her stage presence is superb with her headbaning and moves in the stage. Her voice and Marco's compliment very well. She's really into the music. I respect Tarja though, I knew the band when she was in it, but she was weird to see. I definitely think Floor fits better.
+Dave Mason I agree, it's mostly the novelty. Back then there weren't that many metal bands that used an operatic female voice. While Tarja has a great voice, there's way better vocalists out there. The appeal back then, and still, is Tuomas' great compositions combined with a female voice that fits with what he writes. The only difference now is, they have a singer that can do it all.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, I loved Nightwish while Tarja was in the band, I loved them when they moved onto Anette, and I love them even more now with Floor since she can do both styles nearly as well. Not to mention her stage presence is just majestic
2:05 Girl at the right is totally mesmerized with Jansen's voice and presence
Nightwish needed this woman. Large gorgeous woman with an incredible vocal range
@Lesley Wynter Or valkyrie warrior?
You mean: tall (and athletic)..
I never even imagined that I'll say that, after Tarja left, but... damn, this woman is absolutely freaking awesome! Damn, I'm gonna start listening to Nightwish again:D
One of the best two openings I have ever seen at a concert. Marco and Emppu cross to open an inter-dimensional portal for the Valkerie named Floor by her followers. What follows is Symphonic Metal history.
Phenomenal....I had not heard of Floor or Nightwish 5 months ago then after hearing so much about them decided to see what all the fuss is about and OMG 😳😍👍
I'm partial to Floor but PLEASE give Tuomas credit for composing the songs.
Whether people want to accept it or not there wouldn't be a Nightwish without Tuomas.
Dave Mason and Nightwish would have never existed without Tarja
How is that? You think Tuomas wouldn't have asked anyone else to join had Tarja declined the offer to sing with them? Of course he would have. Now, would they have risen to the fame they did with Tarja with someone else singing - that's a whole different story. In all likelyhood, no.
I agree with Richard, Tuomas deserves more credit. Well MOST of the credit of course. Without great songs a band is basically a zero - no matter how well you play or sing those songs. World is full of excellent players and singers with rubbish material to play and sing. So it's obvious who we should be primarily thanking for for the success of Nightwish.
LOOOOOLLLL
I absolutely agree! May God bless Toumas! He has given us a lot of great music to listen to over the years and I have to say this he IS Nightwish. However I love every other member as well. They all play very well together and seem to get along. Marco has a great personality on stage and is very talented both instrumentally and vocally.Emmpu is also a great guitar player, watch him in romanticide live in wacken 2013. Yukka is also a great drummer and so is Kai. And Troy is great also. So they have a great team and an excellent songwriter! That's why they work so well. And floor is probably the best female singer I've ever heard. She just has it all.
I first started to listen to Nightwish back when Tarja was the vocalist. I continued to listen to them when Anetta joined followed by Floor Jansen. This is my humble opinion :) When I first started to listen to Nightwish, they had a very Gothic sound to them that Tarja seemed to bring (my girlfriend at the time thought they sounded "scary" because of Tarjas voice lol). When Anetta came, I thought she was alright, but she seemed to bring a more pop type of flavor to everything. Also, when Anetta would sing live, she would have trouble hitting the high parts that Tarja would easily do (Dark Chest of wonders as an example). To be fair, those songs were not written with her voice in mind, but rather Tarjas. Then I heard Floor Jansen. She has so much power in her voice. She doesn't bring the "opera" type of feel to her vocals, but to me personally, she is the best fit for the band that I have heard since Tarja left. I watched this video and wondered how she would do with "Dark Chest of Wonders, (I had never heard her sing it) and my mouth just dropped!. Fantastic voice with so much power and versatility and she seems to have so much stage presence. (watch her sing live at Wacken 2013 performing "Wish I had an angel") Great singer in my opinion. Anyway, these were just the humble observations of a long time listener :)
And she and Marco have sparks
You can't open a concert with a classic Tarja song. The public will hate you.
Floor: hold my beer.
she still sounds like she is auditioning for best zengers
Nothing against Floor, but Tarja still owns this song.
No one sings it like she does.
@@opszanski And no one will, it was designed for her. What makes this performance truly remarkable is the fact that Floor adapted to it and gave an amazing show!
@@gtaonline-oldgiga7729 yeah, agreed, but the fact is that they still opened the show with a Tarja song instead of opening perhaps with Story time or the first song of the album (the one that is like a lullaby in other language)
@@gtaonline-oldgiga7729 :) thanks for seeing my point and keeping it cool
Marco looks so happy
What an opening! Such a huge, heavy, epic sound. Floor is perfect in delivery and big presence. Looking like a Dominatrix,Viking, Lady of the Lake, and having the lungs to go along with it. I’ve watched this over and over.
I have watched this whole show. This just amazing. You can feel the energy. She has taken this band to a new level.
ML ~ AGREED!!!!!!!!!! MNO123
I never had a multiple goosebumps on a single act ever, not until I heard Floor sang. My queen!
I agree !!I have never felt so emotional as I do when I listen to her and nightwish. I’m obsessed
All hail the queen of metal!! Floor Jansen
She isn't a star.. She's an entire galaxy
The best performance ever from this band. One of the best 3 shows ever made from any band. This is pure gold.
Here we can see Marko, Jukka, and Godness Floor. Legendary show.
A musical explosion of art and talent. Legendary concert.😃
Queen of metal!!
No. She's the Empress of metal!
Dark Chest of Wonders.... the song that made me discover Nightwish. I'll never forget my first Nightwish concert on the tour after this song was released. Tarja was great for Nightwish but I really have to admit Floor is the best thing that happened to Nightwish.... she's a perfect fit in my opinion. She made the old songs her own and gave them a new soul.
Floor made me discover Nightwish !
The repeat of the refrain with the key change up a step near the end of the song still bashes me on the head. It just drives the awesomeness SO HARD!
Nemo with Tarja made me love Nightwish 20 years now.. Now is Floor and she is perfect!
OH MY GODDESS, I must have seen this thousands of times and they still captivate my soul. Floor is breathtaking pulling off some angelic singing abilities, and the guys seem so happy to be able to play good music together
Jukka is pure energy his expression on the drums are gold
The best fucking singer of Nightwish!
I read the reason why Floor doesn't sing Tarja's songs like Tarja in full opera (we know she is more the capable.) is she doesn't want to "copy" any of the previous singers or "front for a Nightwish cover band". She sings the songs how she would sing them if they were her own. Seriously guys... Check out some of her opera stuff.
Klutzy Mutt Floor never sing any song in full Classic al voice, since After Forever a wonderful band in the past of Floor
Klutzy Mutt Floor indeed has versatility but i have noticed that floor maybe can't sing some of the tarja-era songs in operatic style like her. Listening to End of an Era concert made me realize that some songs just sound great with tarja's voice and style. No hate for floor though, i love her as well.
@@Luna_Anonymous Of course she can't sing it the same way, that's the point. They're both different. But that doesn't mean Floor couldn't do them all in full operatic.
I have to disagree, it's 50% she wants to give her own mark to them songs and 50% she can't handle some of the notes and vocal gymnastics of Tarja; You can hear it when she performs songs such as Wishmaster, The Siren, Phantom of the opera where it seems she's singing "light" versions of the songs because she knows her forte(chest vocals) and, like any singer, she doesn't want to go flat so she lowers the key a bit.
Honourable woman
Floor is just an angel from the sky, it's almost unbelievable how extraordinary she is singing and performing at the same time. I'm so in love that I can't even describe the feeling of watching her alive.
i wanted to drink some water 3 -4 hours ago but i found Nightwish live concert songs on youtube...
Now i am thirsty as hell but happier than ever before :D
Its really not a pleasure reading comments below NW videos. Even though at least it calmed down to a point where most people are respectful and tolerate the other opinions. Why don't we just enjoy and adore such an incredibly insane awesome music!
Dang duud, you got a point.
Seriously. I should just not bother reading the comments. They're incredibly annoying.
people don't use to work like that, unfortunately.
Already loved this song, but Floor blew it completely out of the water! Wow! Well done!
THIS IS PURE PERFORMANCE ROCK WITH ONE OF THE GREATEST LEADS EVER. THE BAND - FLOOR PUNCHES YOU SQUARE IN THE FACE WITH SUPERLATIVES AND KNOCKS YOUR TEETH OUT. THIS CONCERT SHOULD BE INDUCTED INTO SOMETHING
Say what you will about any of Nightwish's singers, I'm just glad they exist in any form. I enjoyed all of the vocalists, as a huge Tarja fan, I must say that I had doubts about Floor until I recently watched some of the performances. Undeniably, she has embraced the bands music and made it her own. Amazing stage presence and live vocals. It's like listening to a different song when Floor sings it. Good stuff. :)
What I like best about Floor is the fact she takes each song in the Nightwish catalog, which is vast....and makes each song her own. It's like she had the songs re-recorded just for her to perform live. Floor DOES NOT mimic, copy or replicate Nightwish's songs, which were previously written for Tarja and Anette, respectively, to fit their vocal styles and range. Floor makes each song her very own, like they were written for her. And that is why I feel Floor is THE best vocalist Nightwish has had and currently has.
Amazing drummer.
+fireandfleshVEV0 Oh hell yeah!
Her voice is really special. Nightwish was reborn.
No, she is not Tarja nor does she need to be. AWESOMENESS IN A DEGREE OF PURITY NEVER BEFORE SEEN
The Alphas of the power-pop-glam metal genre. Oustanding. And Floor? Possibly the greatest musical act presence of all time. There, I said it and stand by it.
It’s still absolutely insane that this is live. Most bands don’t sound this good on record, they’re so TIGHT
Mastered
Freaking Valkyrie goddess 🔥🤘⚔️
Floor is a GODDESS.
I have said it once already, the band is super, Floor is a singer behind any imagination, she doesn't have to shake her A.. , like many of the American superstars, I think she has bypassed all of them, but the "DRUMMER" its insane, fantastic, still I cannot understand how he keeps up the speed? All together unbelievable, hope it's going one for many more year's!!!!!
perfect performance
This woman is a fucking amazon goddess, can't get enough of that voice and would love to see these guys live- when they coming down under next- I'm there!!!
Floor gives the much needed headbangs to NW's songs that neither Tarja nor Anette gave.
I have to agree, though I thought both Tarja and Annette fit the band quite well during their stints within the band. This is not to downplay Floor's vocal ability, because it is incredible. I liked Annette, I liked Tarja so long as they were singing the songs that were written for them.I can't want to hear the next album that will undoubtedly be written more in tune with Floor's vocals. Either way, the band has always been incredible.
Brett Griggs I know! There are so much hate sometimes about them changing vocalist... but Nightwish will keep doing great on the future.
xenosingularis Brett Griggs Agree with you both. Nightwish was great with all *[three]* singers. I liked the operatic flare that Tarja gave the band, but they seemed to be lacking in the 'power' department, _(suppose that's why Tuomas hired other guest vocalists and later and more so Marco in the 'Century Child' era and album)._ Then they fired Tarja, which was dissapointing. They then hired Anette, which it took me a lot of time for me to appreciate her vocal style and the dramatic vocal change. But a year on from 'Dark Passion Play' and certainly into the 'Imaginarium' album I began to like her, though her 'hit and miss' live preformances really urked me to be honest. But generally I did ike her voice, and the more 'power metal' and aggressive sound and vibe she brought to the band. When it was annouced that Anette had left Nightwish, I was sort of both dissapointed and glad... But worried at the same time that it would be the end of Nightwish as a band. Then when I had heared that Floor Jansen had been hired I was *super excited*. I'd always liked her previous bands 'After Forever' and later 'ReVamp'. But always thought her voice deserved a much more bigger, epic and bombastic band, _(like Nightwish)_, and Nightwish deserved a 'real' metal singer that had the power, (such more power then Anette could bring). During Floor's induction during the 'Imaginarium Tour', it was quite clear that many NW fans believed that Floor was the best choice for the band, (including myself). Now it's like a happy ending to a epic film, now that Floor is an official member of Nightwish. Can't wait for their new album! BRING ON THE 'REAL' METAL, I say!
yeah becuz if tarja or annette headbangs only for 1 song the whole concert is fucked xD you see what I mean: no more breath :p
I agree I like floor and tarja the best I like annete too but annete hair should!d be long I don't think annete belongs to a different band I watched the movie I very the best of annete that she can do
This is the story of Nightwish
Tarja was the seed that made it sprout
Anette was the nursing leaves that help it grow
Floor was the one that made it bloom it the greatest show on earth!!!
Not true, but nicely told :D
Anette made them loose so many fans...what the hell are you on about ?
In fact with Tarja it was their golden age.
Holy Hell that was awesome!
Do you see how everyone of them deeply enjoys the performance?! It is breathtaking. And you, Xena, you are a dragonslayer!
I can watch this performance over & over and never get tired of it. Her voice is absolutely beautiful as is she!
This is the dream lineup. As much as I liked Tarja, Floor is just incredible. With Marco and Jukka.... I'm sad we'll probably never see this again.
she owned the FLOOR.
Nobody fills Tarja's place as wonderfully as Floor does. Not only that, but Floor makes it her own, as well! I love Floor! :D
***** Ha ha, Floor fills any place and them some XD
***** While I think that Floor can sing some of Tarja's and Anette's songs as well as them or even surpass, this song is not one of them, I don't think it fits her.
Bobby Truck She could sing this just like Tarja did. She has extensive classical and opera training. Just check out videos of her singing opera on UA-cam here. She doesn't sing it like Tarja, though. She makes it her own. Otherwise, she's just covering it.
+Bobby Truck
Floor can sing almost every Anette song better then her aside from the couple in Imaginarium that were tailored for her lack of vocal range. Floor doesn't use operatic voice like Tarja, because the band didn't want her to. Tarja is still probably better at that style, but she specializes in that vocal style after all. Floor is far more versatile.
Floor is luv ^_^
Awesome performance! They all are great, and Floor is definitely the highlight! She's so powerful and energetic. Love this girl!
Ah, Jukka, I am glad you are better now, truly, but we really miss you.
The chills.. oh boy WHAT A PERFORMANCE
She rules!! By the way, belo cabelo, cara! =D
that Empress of music, restored my faith to live performances again! For a long time I wasn't much to live's but that Band...oh God!!
She sings like an angel! I love her.
Absolutely fell in love with y’all
incredible voice!!! she is amazing
Two things I love about Nightwish live: watching Floor singing and Jukka killing the drum set
Me too
One facet of that perfection: Ever Dream from this same concert, after Emppu's solo.
Pure epic platinum.
Hearing Tarja's backing vocals gives me a ghostly feeling, like if she were lurking in the soul of the song. Haunting effect.
That last note...FLOORGASM!
This song and this concert were my very first introduction to Nightwish. Suffice to say, my jaw had dropped to the floor (no pun intended) by the time it was done.
Floor brought to Nightwish what Marco brought......neither were the founding members but will be the most iconic and legendary additions.
Okay, honestly, this is my favorite Nightwish song, and I had goosebumps when I heard Floor do the file verse. When she belted out that final note, it was magic.
I don't get this, it seems like Nightwish fans are worse than Star Trek fans, YOU'RE NEVER HAPPY!!!!
To everyone who doesn't like Floor's singing... may I remind you what this song sounded like just before Floor took over?
nightwish wacken 2008 - Dark chest of wonders
I've never really listened much to Nightwish, but I have to say Floor Jansen is absolutely incredible! What a power machine!
One of the greatest performances in metal history!
Amazing womam, what a voice.
I first heard of Nightwish during Tarja'a reign and never thought anyone could replace her, but omg she is absolutely amazing!!!
me too! I even stoped following Nightwish till Floor appearead! And wow! She is good! Verrrry good!She deserves nightwish fans support! All the support!
