Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Kitee, Finland. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen.
"The Phantom of the Opera" is a song from the 1986 stage musical of the same name. It was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics written by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe, and additional lyrics by Mike Batt. The song was originally recorded by Sarah Brightman and Steve Harley, which became a UK hit single in 1986, prior to the musical. In its theatrical debut, it was sung by Brightman and Michael Crawford in their roles as Christine Daaé and the Phantom.

Song of Myself by Nightwish if you wanna hear more from Marko. Or High Hopes 😀
Rammstein - Engel (Live)!! 🧡
and Evanescence Bring me to life!
Epilogue by Fleshgod Apocalypse please. You especially i would like to do a reaction to this as you're an opera singer
A Singer I think you may like is an Aussie named John Farnham. He is the Premium Australian singer & a true Aussie Icon. His rendition of the Beatles Help is awesome. As is Burn For you & Please Don't Ask me & You're The Voice.
Maggie: Shooketh when Marko first opens his mouth
Nightwish fans: Just wait....
Exactly what I was thinking as well.
This!
No wonder, I love it every time someone discovers Nightwish has 2 top-notch singers
@@Karldin83 2 top notch singers at any given time.
Yes.
All of this.
Marco: starts singing
Maggie.exe has stopped working.
She is still trying to find her jaw on the floor 🤣
funny..love that comment
We've all been there ♥️
🤣
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
i love how everybody is already impressed by Tarja and then gets absolutely blown away by Marco :D never gets old
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you in 2 hours for my LIVE?
@@maggiereneemusic sorry didn't see that
I will never ever get tired of watching people hear Marko for the first time.
You come for Tarja, Annette, Floor...but you stay for Marko.
Makes me so sad as a Nightwish fan. Marko is gone now. I've felt his loss more than any of the other singers. :(
Hope to see you on my Nightwish Premiere of a new reaction video tomorrow? 🤩
@@ktvindicare his solo album though. Isn’t it amazing? I too was devastated by the news of Marko leaving Nightwish - but maybe it’s for good for him?
@@nebokhod I’m hoping against hope he’ll be back with Nightwish, at least for a few songs, now that he’s announced his return to music.
"Where did HE COME FROM."
Me, a fellow bass player: [laughs invisibly]
Why is this a blank post, what happened to the text?
Fellow bass player too. Cheers.
Guitar player here, this another youtube glitch?
We bassists get no love
Don't worry guys, we drummers love you❤❤
Floor or Tarja may be the eternal question, but the answer has always been MARKO.
TANK THE TECH: "Some people say Floor is the best NW singer, some people say Tarja, but we all know it's Marko."
Marko is the ONLY proper answer
No love for Annette 😭
Both of them sang together
Right? People often forget, but he is Awesome.
Marko makes this my favourite version of the phantom and I think the truest to the character - The phantom isn't a refined polished gentleman, he's a dangerous outcast living in the cellars of the opera house, and I think Marko captures that grit and pain better than anyone else I've heard doing it.
Thank you for your comment. Will you be joining me for tomorrow's LIVE PTX reaction?
what i think i heard [on a re-watch] is Marco taking his last "sing my angel of music" at the end, sliding from his top register all the way the bottom.. i still hold hope for his return,,
I totally agree with you, Marko Hietala is my favourite phantom ever! I love Norm Lewis, and the others, but Marko is embodying the phantom's true spirit, dangerous and tempting, hypnotizing and scaring, haunting and tortured.
The Phantom is insane. Squirrelly and mad. This performance captures that succinctly.
Funny Fact: Marko Hietala just won the Masked Singer in Finland a few days ago.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
He truly is the Phantom of the Show! 👀
Awesome
I think the way Marco sings this fits the character way better than the original. The Phantom is such a dark character, I'm surprised the original wasn't more like this.
Absolutely. He makes the Phantom sound a bit insane. Which he should, really, when you think of that story.
I know what you mean, but considering the genre/scene this is originally from... nah. They "couldn't" have done it back then or they would've got destroyed. But I DO think that the musical scene should explore it's horizon to allow more variance (maybe it has already, I'm not THAT familiar with it). But I'll add a bold suggestion; maybe even the opera scene should allow it in some cases. After all, it's just one way to express emotion and/or mindset.
And as Henk Poorts showed, the opera singer could well pull it off too, just needs practice with a proper technique.
To be fair, I've heard that Sir Andrew apparently always wanted the Phantom's role to be sung by someone with a "rock and roll" quality to his voice, so this is actually pretty damn perfect for the spirit of it.
I stumbled upon a video where Marko is singing Raoul with a Finnish opera singer, Think of me. Sound quality isn't that good, but very interesting. Marko can do anything...
@@heatherharvey2558 Andrew Lloyd Webber said this was his favourite version ever.
I love Marko’s phantom vibe he’s not the obsessed lovestruck phantom he is more manipulative Villainous type and I love it
Exactly!
Except that the Phantom is a lonely desperate genius, half-mad from every dripping moment of pain of a situation he has to experience in every nuance.
Agreed...he definitely makes the role more dirty and gritty
I mean, it's a metal cover. It absolutely makes sense to cast him in that light in a metal interpretation.
@@Bobbias I would say if the cover requires that interpretation then perhaps the cover should not have been made. If you want that interpretation then make your own songs to go with it.
“What the fridge. Where did he come from?”
Finland.
He came from Kuopio! 🖤💛💛🖤
it's very cold in winter
... so fridge is fine :D
"They have such a good band chemistry."
After the show: Well, dang...
Yeah, noticed that, too. That's when you realize she didn't do her homework on the band..... DANG!
Technically, she commented on Tarja and Marco's chemistry. They still remained friends, they even sang together in 2017. It was Tuomas that couldn't handle being friendzoned.
@@fluffybacon Actually Marko has stated that it was he who told Tuomas "you have to get rid of her".
But he was doing it as a professional musician who saw that the band was not well; Tuomas and Tarja had a much harsher schism because they had known each other for so long. Marko was still a new member so he never had any strong feelings about the issue
I see a lot of "The Islander" and "While your lips are still red" but the one to check out is the cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes"
YES! that's where you really see him shine, and it's a wonderful homage of the original song too
Yes! More Of ”High Hopes”!
Agreed,High hopes is the best marco's song
Yep, definitely High Hopes.
second "Hig Hopes" A tribute to Pink Floyds original, not just cover😄
Haha, all women start fan girling over Marco sooner or later. It's a law of nature.
How can you not though, seriously
@@redangel169 Haha, i know, even I do :-P
@@TheDryparn Same!
Of course we do, with that voice and that gorgeous smile
Not just women, obviously..
drummer = pirate
bass = viking
keyboardist = general pirate
guitarist = elf
vocalist = valkyrie
Fuck that's what I always thought. You nailed it :D
@@Fuzzelism wahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks brother 😄😄👍👍
More like
Vocalist = a Siren, then a Fairy, then an Amazon
@@user-yk9kh3xu5sAgree 😃👍😃👍
I'd say Tuomas is more a Vampire Prince, but he could have been a Pirate before he was turned.
For context, Tarja was very sick that day, so much so she couldn't get a note out at rehearsals. Jukka, the drummer, also had severe head pains (hence why you see him hoding his head at the beginning of the video). Knowing this and seeing how they still performed phenomenally well for this longer-than-normal show, one that was being recorded, is a true testament to their skills.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
Was this per chance the same concert = the last of the "End of an Era"-tour - after which Tarja got fired?
@@roykliffen9674 Indeed this was. Everyone else knew this would be their last time playing together with her. So you can interpret a lot of their expressions and mannerisms and the whole emotional charge of the song through that.
@@maggiereneemusic I was curious to see how far into the video it would be for you to find something to criricze. Bottom line is, Tarja has succeeded as a singer, What have you accomplished? I don't recall ever anybody reacting to any singing you've done. Has anybody even heard of you?
@@randypeters366 Why bother watching videos if you can't take criticism? jeez, crystal boy.
"Who's this?" - "It's just the bass player, don't mind him" 🤣😝 JK, Nightwish Army
Isn’t that what they said about the ship’s cook in Under Siege?
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
“He colors the notes, growls, changes the melody to be cooler...” (goes on to list all the things). Yeah, he does. Also, he’s still playing the bass.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you on my Twitch LIVE stream tonight @10pm EDT? It's FREE for you to 'follow' me and to watch my stream and you can request your favorite song for me to sing for you: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic
Goes to show how easy playing the bass is...... just kidding. ;)
I grew up with Tarja era Nightwish, and I'll always love her, but I love when people come to this video for her only to be blown away by Marco. He absolutely MADE this performance for me. When you see a professional production of Phantom, the male lead is always this clear, crisp voice that I never felt fit the character. Marco is EVERYTHING the Phantom should be to me. Dark, powerful, and malevolent. Could you imagine and old time opera house full of wealthy patrons if their show was interrupted by THIS voice? They would be absolutely terrified. So amazing...
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
I saw them live with this lineup. Among the public, there were a surprisingly large number of people you'd rather expect to see at an opera house and not at a metal concert.
Marco Hietala is one of the FINEST metal vocalists still working today. He's been jamming with Nightwish since their Century Child album and was in the band TAROT with his brother on guitars for over 30 years. He has one of the most instantly recognizable voice in metal music PERIOD!!!!
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
Welcome to Nightwish, came for the girls, stayed for Marco.
you should check out Markos Band Tarot and his soloproject
@@herbertkraft7379 i have, Tarot fan for 10+ years!
Marko resigned already. .
@@marvincopiado1964 "already?' You're saying it like this was a good thing.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
We should stop suggesting NW's Phantom of the Opera "because of Tarja".
We all know what's going to happen...
LOL! Hope to see you at my new NIGHTWISH reaction video Premiere tomorrow morning?
Yes... All these opera singers just aren't prepared for Marco. Tarja, as great as she is, is something familiar to them.
"... But Marko"
It is inevitable... and always fun to witness!
You obviously need to listen to more Nightwish, they have 3 vocalists now (Troy has a lovely Folk voice). Rather than argue whether Tarja or Floor is better, most fans have agreed Marko is the best singer in Nightwish.
That’s kinda why I like it. They’re expecting the female to slay, but then Marko SHOCKS them
Marco's high notes absolutely blew me away the first time I heard them. I expected him to be reasonably good because many metal musicians are quite good singers, but he's on another level from what I expected. I adore this cover. It really captures the feel while being so utterly unique at the same time.
Thank you for your comment. Did you also like my Livestream earlier today?
Hadn't listened to much power metal then, had you? 😁😁
@@luisnunes3863 Oh, I've listened to plenty of power metal. My favorite band was Iced Earth (I say was because of a certain recent incident involving schaeffer), and I was familiar with Rhapsody before they were Rhapsody of Fire, Camelot, Epica, etc. etc.
My point was more that because Marco isn't lead vocalist, but one of the musicians, you don't expect him to be as good a singer as he actually is.
@@Bobbias He was the lead singer for Tarot.
And the only thing Schaefer did wrong was fall for an obvious FBI entrapment. 🤣🤣
@@luisnunes3863 well you can't listen to every band out there. And as for Schaeffer, all I'm going to say is you're wrong.
It's worth noting that Andrew Lloyd Webber himself has gone on record to say that this is his favorite cover of Phantom Of The Opera.
im surprised he hasnt discovered tommy johannsson. i SERIOUSLY think HE should go on stage with that role with the acception of Henk poort playing him in the past. seriously andrew check him out
NIghtwish- While your lips are still red
All singing Marco!
With backing vocals by Floor....
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
Curiosity: Tarja was sick when she recorded this show. She had flu or something in her throat. She did the show taking medication.
Tarja doesn't need any excuse. She sounded great regardless. This young lady is starting out trying to become a successful opera singer such as Tarja. Her critiques are not needed.
@@Dirtnap1986 For sure. In fact, saying that Tarja was sick on the day of the recording only serves to praise the vocal quality of Tarja, who, even though sick, managed to make this performance so incredible.
@@Dirtnap1986 Did you even watch the video? She's not even being harsh, she was super nice during the entire video.
Yes she was severely sick and went through multiple outfits due to persperatiom and she was still unbelievable
@@ashildrtheswift3028
Shut up!! I indeed watched the whole video and the last thing a seasoned opera singer such as Tarja needs is the "critique" from someone who is starting out trying to get to her level.
Tarja is a true soprano. She has a phenomenal range.
You'r reaction to Marko was priceless! Yeah, his voice is beyond established.
Thank you for your lovely comment! Hope to see you on my LIVE in about 4 hours?
Marco is absolutely amazing but sadly he doesn’t get enough credit, as people tend to focus on Tarja/Floor’s singing. Thanks for this review! 🎭
Only vocalist good enough to have floor as a backup singer. See:The Islander 🤣😉

💯💯
I think one thing to remember here as well is that NEITHER of them speak english as their first language. A lot of the vocal choices may be accent related. Which makes it even more amazing in my opinion. Also Marco has no official vocal training as far as I know. He's just a rock legend.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope you will join me for tonight's premiere of a first time reaction video to a cool rock band?
I love how everyobody comes to react to Tarja but gets blown away by Marco
Tarja was so sick during this performance she couldn't even attend the warm-up or soundcheck. It's beyond amazing she could do the whole show.
She rarely did.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
I'm shocked no one has recommended "I wish I had an angel" yet another Tarja/ Marko duet of mind blowing awesomeness.

yeah and imagine now Tarja and Marco are both gone from the band :( their voices sounded soo well together I cant believe that I will never see those two having a duet together at stage :(
@@HK-gm8pe hopefully he joins on a few of her solo songs she puts out
@@Lee___H its blasphemy they even parted their ways in the first place lol
@@gandalfwhite4803 agreed
So THIS is what Marko-gasm looks like /takes notes/
LOL! Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you my livestream tomorrow?
Let's also appreciate that Marko is also simultaneously playing bass.
I love when people recognize the greatness that is Marco. He's one of my favorite male vocalists.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
Other Nightwish songs highlighting Marko Hietala's vocals:
"The Islander" Tampere 2015, his own composition, Celtic, folky vibes. Marko and the guitar, not the bass this time. It's the guitar part of the double neck. Mellow and powerful vocals!!! Floor's backing vocals towards the end.
"While Your Lips Are Still Red" Wembley Arena 2015, a soft ballad, Floor backing.
"High Hopes" Helsinki 2005 (End of an Era DVD) a tribute to Pink Floyd, rock style vocals.
"Isäni Ääni"/"The Voice of My Father" from Marko Hietala's solo album (2019)
Many, foreigners, non Finnish speakers, say the version in Finnish is better, I agree. Beautiful and strong.
Tarot "Tides" Live DVD 2006. Marko's old band, his brother Zachary on guitar. Heavy rock style.
Looove High Hopes and Tides😍
Do these
Master Passion Greed deserves love too, people never bother with it, guess cause there's no live version....
Also worth mentioning that Marko featured on the Finnish version of "The Masked Singer" recently
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope you will join me for tonight's premiere of a first time reaction video to a cool rock band?
Everytime I see someone react to this amazing performance I always love how everybody is amazed by Tarja... then inmediatly by Marko, by the time they all done talking about how amazing he is, he inmediatly blows their mind even more haha. I remember watching this performance for the first time back in 2005/06 and everytime I watch or hear it I have to stop whatever I'm doing, up the volume way over the top and enjoy it. Thank god for living in an era that allows us to listen to amazing performances whenever we want.
I have an odd hobby of watching opera singers get surprised by Marko in this performance.
So far, your reaction is top of the bill! :D
One more lady falling in love with Marko Hietala... This man has more time on the road than you have in life.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
@@maggiereneemusic I love your personality, sure, I'll join you virtually, because Brazil is way far from you.
🤩
Marco actually makes the phantom evil and dark. I can't listen to anyone else do this anymore, it always seems weak without the grit
Well, Henk Poort does amazing job too: it'a like a mountain bellows at you. He also sings Hello Darkness My Old Friend with the strength, challenge, vision and captivation that Disturbed does.
@@timomastosalo oh I know, and yes it's a great "traditional" version.
My point was, that this interpretation is more aggressively dark.
The phantom should be unnerving, frightening and insidious, IMO , and that's what Marko made him.
Amen to that.
Absolutely agree with that! After listening to this stunning version and how Marco turns the Phantom into a scary, menacing character I can't listen to any other soft "mickey mouse" version of this anymore! The phantom needs this grit and darkness!
PS Well I agree that Henk Poort does it quite well too. But I still prefer Marco's version :)
marko's version is fun but it's more phantom of the paradise. the phantom is meant to be an 1800s-era haughty, pseudo-gentlemanly opera teacher lol
Don't feel sorry, we're all--Nightwish fans--always overwhelmed by this. Love your reaction
Tarja is one of those singers whose accent you can really hear in her performances. That's what I usually end up checking varied pronunciations up to.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
Marco and Tarja's 🎭 chemistry and harmonizing were spot on! This performance is sooo ancient. But it's magic never faded. 🎭
Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching my video until the end. I appreciate it. 😁💖🎭 If you would like to connect more closely please join Patreon as we've built a great community there?
If you enjoy Marco, go check out: "Nightwish - The Islander", Thats where you will really hear him shine! :)
While Your Lips are Still Red and High Hopes are better showcases for his voice.
And high hopes. Omg I love it more than the original
All of the songs listed here are a must listen! High Hopes from this same show is their interpretation of the Pink Floyd song. I specifically say interpretation and not cover. It's fantastic!
Make sure it's the Islander live at Tampere! And yes... their version of High Hopes from this same concert is better than the original... and I LOVE Pink Floyd.
@@Skybolt211 yeah it's a big call especially for a pink floyd song but it's just so so good
Best Marko reaction ever haha. But you’ll never hear a better musical pairing then Floor and Marko when they are harmonising together. Check out The Islander live at Tampere.

Tarja and markko too
Are we going to completely ignore the fact that Maggie is amazed by the E flat (6), gushes over it being in the whistle register, but also hits the note without any effort at all? An opera singer or not, that is impressive.
I just discovered Nightwish...here...and I am familiar with Floor, I am not familiar with Tarja, so this will be even more fun to watch...something new for me!!
Hope you enjoy it!
In my personal opinion Tarja is the better singer between Herself and Floor... but i seem to be in the minority in this opinion. I've followed Nightwish from the very beginning and of all of their vocalists, Tarja has always been my favourite. Nothing against the other two, they are both very talented... i just think Tarja was the best of them.
You're on for quite a ride. Enjoy 😉
@@MetalHeadReacts I'm not sure, but that could be because she was the first, and it's always hard for us to accept a replacement. Human nature, you know.
So, I get it if she has a special place in your heart.
I myself only discovered Nightwish a few years ago with Floor already in place, so of course I prefer her, since she was the first singer I knew.
However, I also prefer her wider range over Tarja's nearly always operatic style. Floor can do operatic as well, but she can also throw in growling, metal, belting, etc.
To me, she's more versatile and can pull off a greater variety of styles and sounds than Tarja. Again, just my opinion.
Have a good one.
In my opinion, this concert (End Of An Era) is the best concert I've EVER heard-from any band. It is absolute power and perfection rolled into one.
Marco could easily be the lead vocalist in Nightwish if he ever wanted to be, but he is happy with just doing back-up vocals.
There's many songs where he has quite as much role as the lead singer. But yeah there could be more songsjust for Marco.
When I read these comments suggesting songs to listen Marco it surprises me that "The Siren" doesn't get suggested. And Marco is clearly the lead singer in that.
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁😍 Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope you will join me for my Christmas Eve Livestream at 6pm EST?
15:55 "that's high🤯" while doing the same note effortless :)
Marko is actually really good he blends with tarja voice very well
"Marco and Tarja seem to have some sweet connection..."
After the concert, they kicked out Tarja from the band...
He's the only one she's ever reunited with
Which is interesting since kicking her out was his idea.
@@brian3971 don't think she held a grudge about that. It was the others and the original bassist who allowed her to be sexually assaulted on stage in Guadalajara and did nothing to console her while she was on the floor crying after.
@@coachmikesfilmroom3111 right.. and Nightwish Hardcore fans don't wanna see that either. Instead they throw tomatoes(literally) all around her while praising Tuomas (the main culprit). LMAO. I love Nightwish as a Band, but that doesn't prevent me to see the truth. If you dig deep enough, you'll find out who was right and who was wrong in that case.
@@brian3971 it wasn't Marco's Idea. It was Tuomas idea and the rest agreed with him. Tarja never says nor acts bad towards Marco. Instead she termed him as a "brother". On one of her interviews she even said Marco already had a lot of experience in the business and he guided her through alot. When she needed some one to talk to, Marco and Empu were her support system.
A lot of great Marco performances, but the one that tops them all: high hopes, the Pink Floyd hommage.
Absolutely...One of my all time favorites 👊

The awkward moment when keeping up with Tarja is easier than keeping up with Marko haha! Your reactions are great and so is your voice. Thank you!

Great reaction and commentary! The talent of the three female vocalists of the Nightwish eras is taken for granted. Marko is the hidden vocal gem of the group.

@@maggiereneemusic I’m teaching a first aid course today, or I would. I’m an intermediate ukulele player and novice guitar player, but I love learning about music from many perspectives (theory, instrumental, singer, gear, cultural, experience level). Treated music like background noise most of my life. Correcting that later in life. Thanks for what you do.
He makes a more menacing phantom than any others I've heard before.
Oh yeah! Marco has some great stuff: "High Hopes", "The Islander" and "While Your Lips Are Still Red" plus his solo work.
Nevermind of what he did in Tarot: ''Tides'', ''Bleeding Dust'', ''Undead son'' and ''Riders of the Last Day''...
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
I personally think Marco’s best work is their Pink Floyd tribute of the song High Hopes from this same concert.
Marko brings the "sinister" to the Phantom that's missing from the Broadway version

Maybe someone should create a "heavy metal version" of the musical to actually make it as dark as it should be?
@@Muck006 Oh yessss!! Can you imagine Marco's "Don Juan Triumphant"?
And he'd go: "YOU HAAAVE COOOME HEEAARE... in pursuit of your deeeeeeaaapest urge..!!!!"
You have to see Nightwish - The Islander , live at Tampere. Marco sings the lead , Floor does backing vocals.
Thank you for your suggestion!😁
@@maggiereneemusic their cover of pink floyd's high Hopes is awesome, marco is amazing singing in it
@@maggiereneemusic Also Marko's old band called Tarot. there is song called Tides "Undead indeed" live and also Wings of darkness etc. You could explore more that band avenue too. Also Marko is kinda appearing everywhere. If you just search Marco hietala in youtube you can find all kinds of things... Including also Northern Kings project where he was.
Don't forget to take a look at Marko's recent solo work as well. "Stones", "Voice of My Father" are two of my favorites from his solo album earlier this year.
@@maggiereneemusic *But you should really take your time for "The Islander" and think about doing an back-2-back double reaction, because the live version differs too much from the original studio version on their 2007 album "Dark Passion Play". You should also react to the official music video, for which they have used the original studio version of course. Greetings & stay safe.*
I think it's like the difference between the Disturbed and Simon/Garfunkel of Sound of Silence. Most versions of Phantom are so prim and proper, such as Sarah Brightman or Birdy but this is more like making a pact with the devil and I love this!
Thank you for your lovely comment.
I love watching people react to this. You spend minutes on end analyzing every little detail of Tarja, and then Marko just blows all analytical commentary out of the water. I love it.
Hope to see you on my Nightwish Premiere of a new reaction video tomorrow? 🤩
Truely a great version - look forward to hearing your comments to the vocals.
Thanks so much!
I know everyone reacts to Marko hitting those high rock belts, but the thing that really impresses me is the sustain he has! He starts singing a few seconds before Tarja's last note and holds it until _after_ she stops singing!
Sure, he does that in his backing vocals all the time of course, but it just hits me in this song.
@@maggiereneemusic you can really hear that the phantom is ripping the song out of hers
Marco's voice is just incredible. So glad you loved him. His voice in Endless just stops time for me

When reactors talk about vowel placement i think they're forgetting the influence of having an accent. These guys are from Finland after all. Very different phonetically to English.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you on my LIVE stream today in less than 1 hour?
I love seeing people come for Tarja and then get blown away by Marko.
3 things about this performance: 1) Tarja was very ill this evening. That may have had a effect on her performance. 2) Marco was very upset with her at this point. 3) she was fired after this show.
Was waiting for that comment😅

Marco is the real unsung hero of nightwish.
I loved his voice the second I heard it. I have never wanted someone's voice and talent more than him.
He's the GOAT.
while your lips are still red is the prettiest song evar and its a marco song.

He looks like a GOAT too! 🐐!
The Moment she is hearing Marco fore the first time. Pure Love
I actually think this may be my favourite reaction to this song I've seen so far! Well done Maggie. Thank you very much for yet another very enjoyable reaction/explanation video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
As has been suggested, While Your Lips Are Still Red is a beautiful song
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you on my Twitch LIVE stream tonight @10pm EDT? It's FREE for you to 'follow' me and to watch my stream and you can request your favorite song for me to sing for you: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic
Everybody is completely blown away by Marko, because they don't expect what he's bringing if one hasn't heard him before.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
I love watching these videos when people discover Nightwish and the incredible surprise when they hear Marco all of a sudden
I always found it amazing how well their voices work together. He is super talented i am glad to see you saw the islander too. He just has so much fun and sounds so unique.
12:54 _They got a good band connection, they seem to be like friends in the band..._
Those familiar with NW history: *LOL*

what's nightwish's history?
@@sklxx7359 she was canned THAT NIGHT!
I love this cover. It makes me wish that they'd do the full musical in this style. Nightwish is amazing. They do anything from this to Celtic folk music and they do that just as well.

I read that Tarja was sick at that time. So to me thats even more amazing.
perfect reaction video, thank you.They have given exactly the right spirit, directly into the song. Gorgeous performance, incredibleee. Greetings from Turkey...
The Islander from Tampere, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aries and High Hope from this concert area all great examples of Marco's singing.
devil and the deep dark ocean live in buenos aires is also really great for floors vocals too, one of my fave vids to show ppl
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
Just so you know, she had a very bad flu during this concert. Wasn't even sure if she could perform that night.
Love this reaction ❤the best in authenticity ever!!!!! Thanks🤟
Sadly our Marco has left Nightwish but has continued to do solo music. Have you seen their video "The Greatest Show on Earth"?? A MUST SEE! And Marco sings a lot in their songs.
Thank you for your comment! Hope to see you on my LIVE reaction to Floor in about 1 hour today on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
So glad you enjoyed this and seeing the surprise on your face when you heard Marco. His voice is making the phantom so much more exciting and sinister. ❤

Now for Floor Jensen (Nightwish's 3rd singer) & Henk Poort (10+ years as the Dutch Phantom) - Phantom of the Opera.
Definitely worth checking out. Floor has a very unique and novel approach to Christine's part that you might find interesting, and Henk is a classically trained Opera singer and musical theater performer who pays homage to Marko in his take on the Phantom.
Tarja and Marko are more interesting 🤨..to me, purist.
Yes, I second this
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
Pude ver a Tarja en vivo hace unos años y Dios mío es impresionante su voz y su vibra increíble, además de que maneja al público tan impresionante. La amo
Tarja all the way!
Gotta love the diva. We need her as much as she needs to perform for us.
And your face when hearing Marco starting: PRICELESS :DDDDD
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
When you said they have a good band connection I almost cried, knowing that Marco knew Tarja was getting fired that very night and she didn't.
I love every single lead they ever had, but some moments were sad to experience as a fan haha
Hope to see you on my Nightwish Premiere of a new reaction video tomorrow? 🤩
They got on so well Maggie that an hour after this she was sacked, over the hills and far away.
Dear Maggie she is a Lyric Soprano and she has a 3 octaves vocal range too F3 to D6))))
F3-Eb6.
In her biography u can see this vocal range (DE to D6), but yes u r right she can sing Eb6 ))))
@@hovhannesmirzoyan5033 She could probably stretch both ends of that range should she have wanted to.
"I like how they are playing with each other"....you do realise they sing "The Phantom Of the Opera", literally a romantic song between two lovers, right? Also, I loved when you headbanged and your overall reaction to this song. One of the best I've seen. Thank you, I enjoyed this.

@@maggiereneemusic If I could, I would have already done so. You are not the only person I want to support through Patreon but the problem is that I have no income. As a university student I have yet to go out and work properly and as long as this remains the same I cannot support myself, much less anyone else.
Gotcha 😁
Maggie, I truly L-O-V-E your reactions; really genuine !!! Excellent review.
I had the same exact reaction the first time i saw this video! I love them now lol ❤
I wish i had an angel - end of an era
Epic duet between marco and tarja

Nightwish are amazing, Tarja"s classically trained operatic voice, Tuomas"s composition and Marco's voice contrast make it epic. A unique band in metal genre. They have such range of songs. NEMO, OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY are also from this period in Nightwish. Loved your shooketh.

I'm a Floor fan but this is Tarja's last concert and I cry every time I see this performance, every time...
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you join me for a new Premiere of a reaction video to Floor tonight?
Maggie: he is one of the better male singers I've ever heard
Nightwish fans: ha ha.... he hasn't even started yet
Song of My Father, Stones, While your líps are still Red...
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my new reaction video to Nigthwish I just posted?
@@maggiereneemusic yes it was great. Song of Myself is fantastic! You should try Nightwish's tribute to Pink Floyd's High Hopes. If you haven't heard the original Pink Floyd version listen to that version first (Live Pulse, Remastered, if you're reacting to it), then listen to the Nightwish version. Marco's vocals are amazing in that! Would love to see you react to Pink Floyd in general too
