Hello everyone! My name is VERONNA, and I've been a pop singer and voice teacher for over a decade! I'm officially part of the Kardavox Team and I am SO EXCITED to help all of you sing better! If you are interested in one-on-one vocal lessons with me, head on over to kardavoxacademy.com to learn more!
Hello my friend Veronna!!!....Believe me this: You have to react to this Incredible Singer with the Most Insane Vocal Range of The World!!!..When I recommend Dimash to experts like you, sometimes they laugh and they look at me with that look that says "Have you gone crazy?...Nobody can sing like that"....And I smile and tell them "Do you want to bet your car?"!!!...Of course after they hear him their faces say it all!!...Lol!!...They can't believe what they are seeing and hearing....So well, I want to invite you to make a reaction to this incredible singer, who is leaving all the experts with their jaws literally on the floor...In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"... In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"....Since then all this madness began on the internet, UA-cam and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano, which allows him to reach all registers, both masculine and feminine, that is, he can sing as Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contratenor, Contralto, Mezzosoprano and Soprano...You can see in UA-cam to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true!!...In addition to all this, Dimash is capable of singing in more than 12 languages...In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide....Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you!!...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers!!!...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...ua-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/v-deo.html
Perfect analysis from my lovely band. Thanks for that , was very interesting. I'm glad to see new people to listen and analyse Nightwish. Usually beautiful lady like you. Greatings
Hi Veronna, this studio release tho good would never be the recommendation for a 1st time reaction, to really appreciate this band and Floor's amazing vocals is to experience a Live performance video and that being their masterpiece Ghost Love Score -Wacken 2013 Official Live yt link ends in : BAVo, it's the most reacted to performance ever on Yt ,several vocal coach reactors have over 3Million views from one reaction/analysis, I look forward to you having your mind blown : ) cheers
Hello VERONNA [ from Kardavox Academy ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This music video is the 1st single released in advance from their upcoming studio album Yesterwynde (2024), featuring Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, .and (at the end) Troy Donockley, multi-instrumentalist and singer. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘
For those with limited intellect and vocab, sure such an oversimplification can help them label or pigeonhole in their limited understanding such a band and it's fanbase but generally we prefer "discerning music enthusiast with enough exposure and experience to have some modicum of appreciation for the truly amazing luck to get such a group of talented people with zero ego to meet and follow this magical band"
She does exactly as Kardavox was wondering about, Switching from one to the other live, Floor is a pro at doing just that. lol That is what makes her final belts in Ghost Love Score (live) so chilling.
@@galadballcrusher8182 Relax. Have fun. Nightwish’s fans are way too intense for nothing. It’s a good band, but they won’t have a big place in music history. Chill out.
Greetings from the Nightwish Army. You are listening to our Queen Floor Jansen. The greatest voice singing today. Keep listening to her she can do it all and in many languages. Opera to deep growl in a flash. She is amazing! Thanks!
@@user-Rockmagix one reply and a triple fail. 1) You obviously know very little about Nightwish; 2) You definitely know nothing about Floor and her own career at After Forever and ReVamp; 3) Completely failed appealing to my nationality. Someone's got a jackpot 🤣
@@АлександрАнтипин-к6д I leave it to you. 1. I know each step of Floor since she was 16. 2.I own all nightwish albums 3. I own all Floor Jansen albums I guess just your answer to my first post was not really fitting. Not only because a group is sorted in the drawer Metal you have to put growls in each song. In the right song - yes. In this song: NO.
@@user-Rockmagix so with all your nerdy fanboying you managed to miss an obvious joke about "Yours is an empty hope" being an opening song at plenty of live shows. Well done
Floor Jansen has some crazy years behind. She lost her gallbladder. Did higly touring for 1, 5 years. And in between got breast cancer (cancer free after treatment) 3 weeks later back on stage.. And then got pregnant, doing some more touring. Child born and recording the hole album about 6 weeks after giving birth to her 2nd child at the age of 42. At still sounding like that❣️ Talking about Mixed voice you must listen to Floor live . No better example. Starting with Ghost love score live at Wacken 2013 For your vocal analyse I would suggest to listen to her solo at Beste Zangers TV show 2019 - Vilja Lied, Shallow and Phantom of the Opera A flexible Larynx? Please listen to her previous band Revamp Live at Graspop 2010 - Disdain Her previous band After Forever live at Progpower US 2007 - Dreamflight Nightwish live at Planet rock acustic -How's the Heart 2020 And many other Nightwish songs.
I totally concur. These are good suggestions. Floor's YT channel has her solo concert and cover videos, personal covid time stories, interviews, and some vocal masterclass videos. She is a wonderful person.
Poet and the pendulum and dead boys poem are brilliant examples of her as storyteller as an alternative to ghost love score . Live versions of course .
@@johan7170 Wrong. There's no 1 right way to enjoy Nightwish or any music, no matter what the "army" keeps saying. You absolutely can listen to Poet without knowing the story and still enjoy it as a magnificent song.
No kidding. I had a balcony seat to a Nightwish show six years ago during which she sang Greatest Show on Earth, and my face STILL hasn’t fully healed from being melted off.
I saw Nightwish live in Montreal at MTELUS almost 2 years ago. Floor is one of the most complete technical vocalists and has an incredible ability to adapt her vocal tools instantly to suit the style of ths song. You could spend hours and days listening to her mastering all her techniques.
The song Shoemaker is about Eugine Shoemaker the only human who is ashes is on the moon ...look up who the man was and then look for Shoemaker video tribute from Nightwish and then see it Live on Hellfest festival in France ...the last part when I saw it on the video I thought no way she can sing that but live is even better.Nightwish is a live band that is then on its best. Every song is diffrent so it is like a journey .Most people start with Ghost love score on Wacken festival there is also a video from Floor herself reacting on her singing Ghost love score where she tells what she is doing with her voice and why,Anyway welcome to Nightwish The fans will show you the way on this beautiful journey.
Floor is classicaly trained also trained in the arts and at a school of rock. Floor started in the band After forever at age 16. Floor has done her own more Pop ish album. Has performed Christmas/metal carols and has performed Classical/Opera music. Floor has done a rock album called Northward. After leaving After forever Floor formed the group Revamp before helping Nightwish out with there tour 2012 she later was made a full member of the band 2013.
I discovered Floor when I ran across her singing O Mio Babbino Caro. I thought holy hell's bells, who is THAT? Afterwards, It was down the Nightwish rabbit hole.
Singers sing what they can, Floor Jansen sings what she wants ❤once she sang the phonebook in a Dutch radioshow ❤and It sound like a real song ❤her voice just touch your soul and grab your heart ❤she is one of a kind ❤our Valkyrie queen ❤
Oh absolutely. THIS would be a faaaaaaaaar better entrance to listen to Floor and Nightwish. Almost everything from that legendary Wacken 2013 would be so much better than this (imo) pretty mediocre song.
Floors range = various estimates (A3-D3) to (E6 -F6) possibly plus whistle but I have never heard her use it. Floor tweeted this If I hadn't had passionate music teachers in my high school, I might never have started singing. I was the bullied, insecure kid who dreamt of singing without knowing that I had a voice for it. "Because of my dedication at school I dared to crawl out of my shell and started to sing! I became more confident of myself and made friends and was forever in love with music. "Nothing is as wonderful and honest as making music together. Nothing connects as music can. Music education is therefore very important for many reasons. Floor's Wiki Bio Floor Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. After After Forever split up she started teaching performing in her own course called Wanna be a Star?! She used to play the guitar, piano and flute and has completed several years of music studies. From the age of 16 all during this period she was fronting the the Band Apocalypse (later known as After Forever) in 1997 until they disbanded in 2009. She then did vocal coaching and formed her own band called Revamp which officially broke up in 2016 because of Floor's commitment to Nightwish. The Rock Academy in the Netherlands is an actual Bachelors degree, conservatory style, but focusing on the rock/pop industry
Hi, 74 years old hippie from the Netherlands =Floor, Irene, Simone, Anneke, Dianne, Charlotte, Joost(LUL) & Arjen(Ayreon) Country= reporting in: Hi Veronna, love your reaction & tech skills. Enter the Nightwish journey with Floor Jansen as the singer and you'll be "unpacking" Floor's singing capabilities for a long time to come ... Shine on my dear, 🤘✌
Saw the the band in LA 2022, at the Wiltern Theater , what a great show . I've been going to concerts since the late sixties (I'm 72) and this women has a stage presence that is incredible. Plus , in my humble opinion , i believe that she is one of the finest singers on Earth.
Floor can alter the placement from her head voice to chest voice as if flicking a switch. Ghost Love Score live at Wacken, 2013, is an ideal starting point for showing a range of different vocal styles (though not all of them). She’s not the Swiss Army knife of singers because, to accommodate so many tools, the object is compromised. There is no compromise in her voice.
Their best live performance is probably the 2015 live at wembley stadium, one of the few times they did Ghost Love Score, the Greatest Show on Earth and The Poet and the Pendulum
Floor can also Live go back and forth from different placements, larings, styles in a fraction of second and also do voice acrobatics on any song - AND her breathing technique is out of the scale and supports Mega long singing stretches without a need of a breath. She is the perfect Vocalist who can sing anything with any style and any tone. Nightwish Songs like "Ghost Love Score", "Poet and the Pendulum", "Storytime" all Live will show her skills!
Totally concur. People often go for a new release, so we need to do better and just guide them to the next song kindly! Thank you for this comment my friend!
I can appreciate that sentiment, but I've browsed through quite a few of the comments, and I don't really see Nightwish fans acting badly, and I'm not in that army so I'm pretty impartial. It's just undeniable that this video is not the best representation of what Floor, or the band are actually capable of.
Hello Veronna, greetings from UK That was a great reaction, thank you Floor (lead singer) is one of the most versatile vocalists out there at the moment, truly world class. She describes herself as a vocal nerd 😁 A great introduction song which showcases some of her versatility is a song called "Ghost Love Score", the live performance from their Wacken 2013 show. Some other teachers from your academy have reacted to the song before, but I would really like to hear your reaction and analysis 😊 The videography and sound quality from that concert was really good and you can hear Floor's voice really well in the mix I am really looking forward to hearing more Nightwish reactions from you, I just love your reaction style 😊
Nightwish has many videos that are live performances, 2013 and forward with Floor as the singer, two other singers prior to 2013. I have noticed over the years that many people's first introduction to the band is with the 2013 Wacken concert, most with Ghost Love Score, where Floor gets to show off many (but not all) of her vocal techniques and mix from head to deep chest all in one song. I found your breakdown enjoyable!
I was honestly waiting with baited breath for your first Nightwish reaction. Floor is a vocal coaches dream to react to (which is why EVERY vocal coach channel on YT has at least one Nightwish reaction). She is the living embodiment of what one can accomplish with the proper training and drive to be the best at what you do. Others have already suggested Shoemaker (Live is mind-blowing), but look at Gabriel's list, pick out the styles that appeal to your curiosity, and go for it! Can't wait to see how far down the rabbit hole you go! Nightwish Army, AZ Division checking in 🇺🇲🌵
Honestly, as much as I like this song this doesn't even begin to give you a sense of what Floor can do. I'm intrigued and entertained enough by your personality and for your love of music to immediately subscribe as I look forward to experiencing more from you! Try "Shoemaker" by Nightwish to get a quick sense of some of Floor's talent. That will be a proper appetizer. From there, you won't believe the range and extent of her catalog. Cheers!
Hi Veronna, i like to add: Listen/watch to the live performances of Nightwish and Floor Jansen. You'll be amazed for shure. Greetings from the Netherlands Nightwish Army East Division. 🤘🔥🤘@@VeronnaMusic
Floor only had her first singing lessons at the age of 18, at a rock academy. She later learned the basics of classical music at a conservatory. Then there were metal growls. She attaches great importance to comprehensive training. She is a workaholic and when she has nothing to do she starts singing. She'll probably give a whole concert during the day. She sounds the same live and the bigger the audience, the better she sings. She thrives on the energy of the crowd. She sees herself as a metal singer, but recently released a pop album as a side project: Floor Jansen - Storm (Official Music Video) Mastermind Tuomas Holopainen has, among others, Hans Zimmer as a role model. The singer at the end is Troy Donockley and grew up in the Fok scene. He's not a vocal athlete, but fits in such quiet moments. Folk is another integral part of Tuoma's compositions.
@@VeronnaMusic I forgot that Floor is the third singer. Tarja Turunen wanted to become an opera singer and finished her training with Art song. She established opera singing in metal: NIGHTWISH - The Phantom Of The Opera (OFFICIAL LIVE) The Floor version: Nightwish - The Phantom Of The Opera (ft. Henk Poort) (LIVE) The second singer Anette Olzon was a pop singer: Nightwish - Slow Love Slow live Montreux Jazz Festival 2012 HQ There is also a Floor version here: Floor Jansen - Slow, Love, Slow (Live) The Ghost Love Score version from Wacken no longer corresponds to the original. The ending was too lame for Floor and she gave him a new one: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (WACKEN 2013)
This is just a small taste of Nightwish. There are 20 years of Nightwish, it is a very deep rabbit hole full of wonderful and extraordinary music. Enjoy the journey
This is NOT Nightwish, this is one tiny facet of a massive diamon. I promise you this chameleon of a vocalist and performer has a baffeling array of vocal skills beyond this style. Ghost love Score is maybe one of the few songs that tap into a wider array. There is so much more. Please enter the rabbit hole, if you are a vocal coach you owe it to your competence to investigate.
Hello Verona, nice reaction on a great voice. For me and many others is Floor Jansen the most versatile female singer in the world. But….the song Ghost Love Score ( Wacken 2013) is such a pleasure to react for a voice teacher. In this song is Floor unbelievable good. A must for professionals to watch…and to learn. Young Floor was for years also a voice teacher. Greetings from the Netherlands
@@VeronnaMusicindeed, you must see Nightwish live by yourself. Mark of your team react three years ago about Ghost Love Score. I hope you do by yourself or the song Shoemaker ( Deichbrand 2022).
I agree. This is not the song to start with Nifhtwish. It's a great song but need to dive into more of their live performances. Start with Wacken and Ghost live score
Yes. But ghost love score demonstrates many different vocal styles. Storytime is also great . It has belting, opera, and Rock. The whole Wacken concert has amazing vocals. An even deeper dive is floors first band After forever . She was super talented even age 20. Also special from last album is song Shoemaker . It has an ending beautiful opera performance.
@@jerrybk1 agreed, though Shoemaker is one of the few songs where I prefer the music video to the live version. Not that the live version is bad, but the visuals from the music video is stunning.
Troy does sing one line different at the end there, the line "Last sighs on a deathbed" changes to "Last sighs of a million loves". It's a beautiful way to kind of zoom out even further and offer that different perspective of us coming from this long line of lives all with their own stories and dreams and adventures that we'll never know about. Honestly the theme of this song breaks my brain a bit but it's such an interesting thing to think about. Not many artists write about the stuff that Nightwish do and it's a breath of fresh air.
Hi ! Welcome to Nightwish world ! I really hope we´ll see more with you. And I did like every comment of yours, very clear, very easy to understand. Thank you, you got a new subscriber here too. Greets from Finland.
Hi Veronna .As much as I love Nightwish and Floor, I don't think this song is suitable as a Nightwish introduction. As written before, try Ghost Love Score live at Wacken or try Floor alone at Beste Zanger with her cover of Shallow. Both are incredible.
It sounds like you think vocal coach are stupid and can't hear anything else than the vocals, and then circle jerk vocals. This is a composition where everything is important not just vocal crap.
Floor Jansen's Bio is on Wiki. Yes, she's also schooled in Classical singing and performed in several recitals, but the focus of her Musical education was more on Pop and Metal. Before Nightwish, Floor was frontwoman of After Forever and Revamp.
wow :) i'm so glad for your journey ahead. this is a song in which floor is not the center piece, it's really about the message, the story, the collective of the band. the fact, what you loved her voice and were able to talk for so long about the song makes me excited for the songs where she is the center piece and does show off, particularly her mixed voice, and particularly live. if you loved this, you'll be in awe listening to the other songs. can't wait. have fun
How cool is it that I just discovered you, reacting to Electric Callboy, and then shortly after, you react to the first time to my favorite vocalist! I give you major props to immediately recognizing that Floor is classically trained, though I'm guessing not to the extent you think she is (only about a year). But she is a vocal nerd, and was a vocal coach for many years. Although I love Floor in the studio, where she really gets her superpowers is live, so I hope you get a chance to react to her live performances (especially with Nightwish) very soon.
Jebus what an amazing breakdown, I've watched dozens of reactions to Floor's singing, but this is like listening to an amazing teacher. First time I'm trying to sing along just to understand the point better 😄
Floor Jansen first completed his studies at a rock academy and then studied musical and opera part-time. I think the perfect songs to get to know your vocal range are Phantom of the Opera together with the Dutch leading man of the Phantom Henk Poort, then Shallow and then of course Ghost Love Score with Nightwish.
What I rarely see in comments is that Floor consider herself foremost as a metal vocalist. She did a 4 year course at the Rock Academy in the Netherlands. During or after Rock Academy she did 1 year classical/musical training. She left because the focus was too much on theory than learning the technique. Keep that in mind, only 1 year of classical training. She also admitted that she's a vocal technique nerd. Yes, there's a lot of effort and practice behind what for us mortals seems so effortless and easy. What she can do with her voice was not handed to her on a silver plate. Just my 2 cents why Floor is so good at what she does.
You should remember this day... you're very first "Floorgasm" You really should watch their performance of "The Greatest Show On Earth" live at Tampere!
Bienvenue dans le monde merveilleux de Nightwish, très intéressante analyse/réaction ! N'hésite pas à continuer ta découverte de leur répertoire devant la caméra à nouveau !
for me, Floor is the pinnacle of good singing techique. She can do it all with her voice, in a lot of registers, she masters breathing technique, she can do anything she wants and sing in any genre of music. Her full opera voice may not be as good as a full opera singer, because, as she said herself, singing opera was not her thing, so she just picked up some techniques and evolved into more rock singing. Trying to emulate what she does is almost a singing lesson in itself! Listen to anything from nightwish live, she is out of this world. I can't listen to studio versions of some songs anymore, it all sounds so bleh after you hear her vocie for real!
New vocal coach, same food metaphors! Hell yeah. Your singing examples around the 24:00 mark are amazing. Almost had a jump scare when you added proper power to them.
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done and welcome to the Nightwish Family, it is fun and highly recommended to go back to the period when Floor joined Nightwish (2013) with the concert Wacken!! And to follow the order that Gabriel indicates!? Have fun !! 😘
Love your analysis, combined with tips exercice. Manu thanks and happy you are discovering nightwish ! A long story, many talents and incredible musical word ! 🤟🏻🔥
Brilliant reaction thankyou. You are spot on about Floor she has had years of classical training, she also teaches too. Floor is without doubt one of the greatest vocalist in the world she can sing any GENRE of music brilliantly . Check out all her Nightwish and all her solo stuff and you will find out. She covers musicals and Disney ( for her young daughter) too
Our beloved Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy has given birth to a baby girl 😊❤. Doesn't bother her at all, singing live or in the studio. 😊❤ She did opera only for one year, just for the technical side of it.
29:09 she can do that, she did it multiple times live, 2 and a half hour shows, ending with a song having her belting upper F's and G's.. She is well trained, and gifted.. She smokes sigars and drinks whisky aswell... She is gifted.. amazing.
I think the technical term is a "Floor Dominant Voice" 😜 Thank you Veronna for an incisive breakdown reaction (great voice exercises that helped my treacle like voice) to this new offering from the wonderful Nightwish 🙏👍😊❤️
Floor Jansen simgs anyting , the best singer we have now , now she sing exactly what the composer (Toumas Holopainen) wanted . Floor is very versitile and have full control .. Greetings from nwAse Sweden
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Gulf Coast Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
It's been a long time since there was Nightwish-activity on the Kardavox channel. Good thing you've explained Mark did not find himself one hell of a good doctor. Floor got a bachelors degree at the Rock Academy and then half a masters education in Musical Theater. She focused on the classical singing, but you can also see it the way she moves on stage. She really displays the lyrics and emotion on stage. That is one of the reasons why they are so good live on stage (a part from all the efforts that have gone into the lighting and video backdrop)
That was interesting. You surely added your spin on it - gave value to this video. So one of the best for this. (Not only listening and nodding or repeating wow, but) giving your expertese to this. (Though i'm not sure i could do a smoothie after hearing your explanation - but that's not about your words but the fact i know almost nothing about singing, or am able to do any of those i now know theoretically [after listening to vocal coaches] ) A new sub here. ❤
I bumped up the video, curious to see more of her analysis. But you just need to know, the lead singer did a 16 seconds long note at the very last minute of a challenging 80 minute live setup including the song "shoemaker" (Hellfest 2022, youtube)
Welcome to the family, Veronna. Nightwish is a Finnish-based band with current and former members from Finland (Tuomas, Emppu, Kai, Jukka, Jukka, Marko, Tarja), The Netherlands (Floor) and England (Troy). They perform in English, so its the second language for most. For this song, the orchestral music and choral voices are all real live recordings. Nightwish will play them back in concert.
You should do ( Ghost Love Score) from the live 2013 concert. Performance in front of 82,000. In Attendance. Gabriel has song with links at the bottom of his comments. All the songs the nightwish army loves.
I am pleased to welcome you to the wonderful world of Nightwish from the UK Oldies Division (East Anglian branch) of Nightwish Army. As you delve deeper into their music (as I hope you will) you will find many diverse songs. Symphonic metal is the official genre, but you will find songs ranging from metal to ballads and even a jazz track. I have subscribed to your channel in the hope that you'll keep on watching and listening to Nightwish, especially their live recordings. I saw them live at Wembley in November 2022 and it was the most amazing unforgettable experience. To hear more from them, I suggest you follow Gabriel's list or pick and mix from it. I have followed Nightwish for some time now and all the compositions and musicianship never fail to please. Looking forward to your next reaction.
Hello Veronna, Kardavox Academy, you have just tasted a bit of Floor Jansen's vocal capabilities and are just as touched by Nightwish (Musical Box of Pandora) as we are. (Jansen, pronounced: Yahn-Sen) Although Nightwish is a Finnish band, their third singer (and also the male voice at the end) is not. She is Dutch, lives with her husband Hannes van Dahl, the drummer of the Swedish band Sabaton, and their two daughters in Sweden. Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career (initially) just as the background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997, but real soon she took over the lead until early 2009 and the band fell apart. Parallel she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. She studied Musical Theatre and one year Opera. She plays guitar, piano and flute and has completed 12 years of music studies. She’s a Light Lyric Soprano and her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1, 2012 (while she was within ReVamp, but recovering from a burnout) Floor replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. After one year (shortly after the Wacken Open Air festival concert 2013) on October 9th 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer.

Hello, Lass. You started your journey at a transition point in the Nightwish world. To truly explore Floor's vocal agility I would recommend three songs. First is the ever-popular Ghost Love Score live at Wacken in 2013. Then there is Shoemaker the lyric video is great, and finally How's The Heart unplugged from Nuclear Blast studio, Then you can tackle Phantom of the Opera live from Vigo Dome in 2022. That should be enough to melt your brain. You will learn much from our Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen. Welcome to the army from Ontario.
Everyone in Nightwish is a pro for decades. Listen to more, you‘ll find almost any style, any Emotion, turning loose your imagination. Nightwish can change your life, seriously.
This is not the song to react to if you want to hear Floor,she’s been drowned in the chorus and mix. You’re much better off watching a live Nightwish performance from Wacken 2013,Tampere or Wembley 2015 if you want to analyse her range,technique and talent ….. Gabriel’s list has the best quality performances with regards to sound and visual quality.
Hello Veronna! 😉 Floor Jansen was shot to the heights of the musical sky by her membership in Nightwish band. She was known even before, but nowhere near as famous as she is today. She's a perfect singer, I don't know anyone like her, but to evaluate the song and the performance only through her singing wouldn't be correct. 🙂 Everyone in the band is a true master like (for example) Kai Hahto with his prefect drumming technics, or Emppu Vuorinen - the guitar magician with his awesome sense for the perfection of the song he's playing... But there are 3 unusual masters in the Nightwish band - Tuomas Holopainen can play 10 musical instruments at a professional level and compose the magnificent music and texts, Troy Donockley can play 12 musical instruments at a professional level, sing and compose music. Floor Jansen is maybe 5 singers in one, beacuse her voice is very flexible - limpid as a crystal, gentle and tender, silent and soft, but it also can be hard and powerful, or also rough, strong and growling. She has a voice like no one... Which band in the entire world can tell that about itself? Nightwish is a gem in the world of music!🤘
Hi Veronica. Huge Nightwish fan from Phoenix, Arizona new subscriber here for you. I love this song and performance. Thank you for this wonderful reaction.
Thanks for a super fascinating analysis. Of all songs with Floor this must be one of the hardest to analyse her voice because of the stylistic choice to mix her voice low and make it sound somewhat ethereal. I'd suggest Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013 or Shoemaker official lyric video for something to sink your teeth into.
Although I agree Shoemaker is a fantastic example of Floor, the live version shows that she didn't need multiple takes spliced together to create that MAJESTIC sound.
You should see more live Nightwish action! Check out the incredible Wacken 2013 concert! I see it every year 1-2 times and i got always goosebumps! They did a DVD from this concert called Showtimy, Storytime. There are a lot of other liveconcerts in the web, like Buenos Aires, Wembley, Tampere and many more. Nightwish exist nearly 3 decades and there is so much to discover!
Hey so welcome to the Nightwish Army first off second off if you react to clean vocals and your partner reacts to screaming it's probably going to take both of you in most reactions...
I am not one of the Nightwish army, though I happily defer to them for all things Nightwish. If your purpose here was to check out Floor, then there are thousands of better examples of her performing both with Nightwish, and solo. This is giving you only the barest glimpse of what she's actually capable of.
Floor can sing any genre. I think you would enjoy Ghost Love Score as she covers 4 different genres in one song. She is my all-time favorite singer in my favorite band. The song was number 13 of 15 that Nightwish played live at the Wacken 2013 festival in front of 82,000 fans. They cut a DVD for this performance, so voice and music are gold. Also, her vocals are definitely not low in the mix. They are in your face. 😊🤘 Ghost Love Score: ua-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Reacting to Nightwish the first time and the new song, unexpected but nice. They are fantastic live and you should watch Ghost love score from Wacken 2013. She is singing with different style there and its fantastic
@KardavoxAcademy Please, we want mooore!! 🖤 More from Veronna for sure, with her beautiful analysis, and next time over our most dear live performances from Nightwish, I hope! And thanks for the awesome reaction! This song is amazing, and IT GROWS ON YOU!
Hi there, Veronna. Firstly, thanks for the free style lesson. Welcome to the Nightwish Army. Recommended reactions: Well, anything from Floor's work with Nightwish from 2013 to present day! Also check out her solo work in Netherland's BesteZangers show and her own performances live. You'll find it all on youtube. Good work so far girl. Keep it up.💋🧡!!!
Hello everyone! My name is VERONNA, and I've been a pop singer and voice teacher for over a decade! I'm officially part of the Kardavox Team and I am SO EXCITED to help all of you sing better! If you are interested in one-on-one vocal lessons with me, head on over to kardavoxacademy.com to learn more!
Talk to Mark...
Hello my friend Veronna!!!....Believe me this: You have to react to this Incredible Singer with the Most Insane Vocal Range of The World!!!..When I recommend Dimash to experts like you, sometimes they laugh and they look at me with that look that says "Have you gone crazy?...Nobody can sing like that"....And I smile and tell them "Do you want to bet your car?"!!!...Of course after they hear him their faces say it all!!...Lol!!...They can't believe what they are seeing and hearing....So well, I want to invite you to make a reaction to this incredible singer, who is leaving all the experts with their jaws literally on the floor...In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"... In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"....Since then all this madness began on the internet, UA-cam and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano, which allows him to reach all registers, both masculine and feminine, that is, he can sing as Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contratenor, Contralto, Mezzosoprano and Soprano...You can see in UA-cam to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true!!...In addition to all this, Dimash is capable of singing in more than 12 languages...In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide....Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you!!...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers!!!...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...ua-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/v-deo.html
Perfect analysis from my lovely band. Thanks for that , was very interesting. I'm glad to see new people to listen and analyse Nightwish. Usually beautiful lady like you. Greatings
Kardavox reacted to Nightwish before... But somehow they never reacted to Epica.
Can you do it next please?
Epica - Unleashed (Live at the AFAS Live)
Hi Veronna, this studio release tho good would never be the recommendation for a 1st time reaction, to really appreciate this band and Floor's amazing vocals is to experience a Live performance video and that being their masterpiece Ghost Love Score -Wacken 2013 Official Live yt link ends in : BAVo, it's the most reacted to performance ever on Yt ,several vocal coach reactors have over 3Million views from one reaction/analysis, I look forward to you having your mind blown : ) cheers
Hello VERONNA [ from Kardavox Academy ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This music video is the 1st single released in advance from their upcoming studio album Yesterwynde (2024), featuring Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, .and (at the end) Troy Donockley, multi-instrumentalist and singer.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 "
For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community

🫡 Gabriel!!!
Gabriel the Legend 🫡🫡🫡
🫡 COSTA RICA DIVISIÓN HERE 🤘💀🇨🇷 WE SALUT YA GENERAL BARDAG
Gabriel, greetings from the Dutch😊😊🙏🙏🤘🤘
You are a legend, man. Thank you for carrying on the thorch! ❤
You need to hear Floor live . She is so much better live . And she does the whole gamut of styles from opera to growling and everything in between!
Nightwish LIVE is a Visceral experience.
For those with limited intellect and vocab, sure such an oversimplification can help them label or pigeonhole in their limited understanding such a band and it's fanbase but generally we prefer "discerning music enthusiast with enough exposure and experience to have some modicum of appreciation for the truly amazing luck to get such a group of talented people with zero ego to meet and follow this magical band"
She does exactly as Kardavox was wondering about, Switching from one to the other live, Floor is a pro at doing just that. lol That is what makes her final belts in Ghost Love Score (live) so chilling.
During the same song. Heck the same stanza even.
@@galadballcrusher8182 Relax. Have fun. Nightwish’s fans are way too intense for nothing. It’s a good band, but they won’t have a big place in music history. Chill out.
Greetings from the Nightwish Army. You are listening to our Queen Floor Jansen. The greatest voice singing today. Keep listening to her she can do it all and in many languages. Opera to deep growl in a flash. She is amazing! Thanks!
Tuomas: Floor, do you want that to sing opera or chest?
Floor: Yes.
"And is there any place for growl? Would be a nice warm-up song"
@@АлександрАнтипин-к6д Well, if you compare music with just growling take the next bottle of wodka......
@@user-Rockmagix one reply and a triple fail. 1) You obviously know very little about Nightwish; 2) You definitely know nothing about Floor and her own career at After Forever and ReVamp; 3) Completely failed appealing to my nationality. Someone's got a jackpot 🤣
@@АлександрАнтипин-к6д I leave it to you.
1. I know each step of Floor since she was 16.
2.I own all nightwish albums
3. I own all Floor Jansen albums
I guess just your answer to my first post was not really fitting. Not only because a group is sorted in the drawer Metal you have to put growls in each song. In the right song - yes. In this song: NO.
@@user-Rockmagix so with all your nerdy fanboying you managed to miss an obvious joke about "Yours is an empty hope" being an opening song at plenty of live shows. Well done
Floor Jansen has some crazy years behind. She lost her gallbladder. Did higly touring for 1, 5 years. And in between got breast cancer (cancer free after treatment) 3 weeks later back on stage.. And then got pregnant, doing some more touring. Child born and recording the hole album about 6 weeks after giving birth to her 2nd child at the age of 42.
At still sounding like that❣️
Talking about Mixed voice you must listen to Floor live . No better example.
Starting with
Ghost love score live at Wacken 2013
For your vocal analyse I would suggest to listen to her solo at Beste Zangers TV show 2019
- Vilja Lied, Shallow and Phantom of the Opera
A flexible Larynx? Please listen to her previous band Revamp
Live at Graspop 2010
- Disdain
Her previous band After Forever live at Progpower US 2007
- Dreamflight
Nightwish live at Planet rock acustic
-How's the Heart 2020
And many other Nightwish songs.
I totally concur. These are good suggestions.
Floor's YT channel has her solo concert and cover videos,
personal covid time stories, interviews, and some vocal masterclass videos.
She is a wonderful person.
I'd add the Romanticide and then Yours is an empty hope after that (so that you've also heard Marco first)
I would add „The Islander“ from the Tampere show, Floor singing backing vocals to an amazing Marko is just beautiful!
@@sateentuoksu romanticide ESPECIALLY because she mentioned slides in this video in her head/chest switching info
I concur.
Poet and the pendulum and dead boys poem are brilliant examples of her as storyteller as an alternative to ghost love score . Live versions of course .
Poet and the Pendulum should never be listened without knowing the full context of the song.
@@johan7170 Wrong. There's no 1 right way to enjoy Nightwish or any music, no matter what the "army" keeps saying. You absolutely can listen to Poet without knowing the story and still enjoy it as a magnificent song.
@@PeeVee1979 Yes, you can listen to Poet without knowing the story. But knowing it will make the experience 10x better.
@@johan7170 "...should never be listened..."😊
Thats just bullshit, you can absolutely listen to it without knowing anything about it@@johan7170
Album Floor never does her voice justice. She's so much better than they put on their records. Her live performances are through the roof.
No kidding. I had a balcony seat to a Nightwish show six years ago during which she sang Greatest Show on Earth, and my face STILL hasn’t fully healed from being melted off.
@@Ironcabbit Ghost Love Story live is another one of those songs that she uses to blow everyone across the galaxy. Floorgasms are real.
I saw Nightwish live in Montreal at MTELUS almost 2 years ago. Floor is one of the most complete technical vocalists and has an incredible ability to adapt her vocal tools instantly to suit the style of ths song. You could spend hours and days listening to her mastering all her techniques.
I was at that concert also. It was great to see them live in a smaller venue.
The song Shoemaker is about Eugine Shoemaker the only human who is ashes is on the moon ...look up who the man was and then look for Shoemaker video tribute from Nightwish and then see it Live on Hellfest festival in France ...the last part when I saw it on the video I thought no way she can sing that but live is even better.Nightwish is a live band that is then on its best. Every song is diffrent so it is like a journey .Most people start with Ghost love score on Wacken festival there is also a video from Floor herself reacting on her singing Ghost love score where she tells what she is doing with her voice and why,Anyway welcome to Nightwish The fans will show you the way on this beautiful journey.
I was thinking Shoemaker Live as well, I guess this warrants an "I concur"!
The live performance is certainly a treat for fans, but I think the studio version would be the one to use for a technical vocal analysis.
I concur.
My favorite is currently Nightwish Shoemaker pinkpop 2022.
but my favorite Nightwish song/performance changes every time 😀
Floor is classicaly trained also trained in the arts and at a school of rock. Floor started in the band After forever at age 16. Floor has done her own more Pop ish album. Has performed Christmas/metal carols and has performed Classical/Opera music. Floor has done a rock album called Northward. After leaving After forever Floor formed the group Revamp before helping Nightwish out with there tour 2012 she later was made a full member of the band 2013.
I discovered Floor when I ran across her singing O Mio Babbino Caro. I thought holy hell's bells, who is THAT? Afterwards, It was down the Nightwish rabbit hole.
Singers sing what they can, Floor Jansen sings what she wants ❤once she sang the phonebook in a Dutch radioshow ❤and It sound like a real song ❤her voice just touch your soul and grab your heart ❤she is one of a kind ❤our Valkyrie queen ❤
She really is amazing!!
Symp
Nightwish is best seen live. I strongly recommend to start on Gohst love score, Live Wacken 2013
Oh absolutely. THIS would be a faaaaaaaaar better entrance to listen to Floor and Nightwish. Almost everything from that legendary Wacken 2013 would be so much better than this (imo) pretty mediocre song.
+1
Floors range = various estimates (A3-D3) to (E6 -F6) possibly plus whistle but I have never heard her use it.
Floor tweeted this
If I hadn't had passionate music teachers in my high school, I might never have started singing. I was the bullied, insecure kid who dreamt of singing without knowing that I had a voice for it.
"Because of my dedication at school I dared to crawl out of my shell and started to sing! I became more confident of myself and made friends and was forever in love with music.
"Nothing is as wonderful and honest as making music together. Nothing connects as music can. Music education is therefore very important for many reasons.
Floor's Wiki Bio
Floor Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. After After Forever split up she started teaching performing in her own course called Wanna be a Star?!
She used to play the guitar, piano and flute and has completed several years of music studies.
From the age of 16 all during this period she was fronting the the Band Apocalypse (later known as After Forever) in 1997 until they disbanded in 2009. She then did vocal coaching and formed her own band called Revamp which officially broke up in 2016 because of Floor's commitment to Nightwish.
The Rock Academy in the Netherlands is an actual Bachelors degree, conservatory style, but focusing on the rock/pop industry
Floor Jansen has a very deep rabbit hole with Nightwish and her solo work, plus with other bands
Hi, 74 years old hippie from the Netherlands =Floor, Irene, Simone, Anneke, Dianne, Charlotte, Joost(LUL) & Arjen(Ayreon) Country= reporting in: Hi Veronna, love your reaction & tech skills. Enter the Nightwish journey with Floor Jansen as the singer and you'll be "unpacking" Floor's singing capabilities for a long time to come ... Shine on my dear, 🤘✌
Thank you very much!! ☺️🙏🏻
I would add Sharron Den Adel to the list.
I would add Zora Cock to the list (Blackbriar)
Do Ghost Love Score, Wacken 2013, you get all sides of Floor, from operatic to gritty. Well worth your time!!!!!, and then follow Gabriel's list!!!!
Floor is a charismatic story teller and a vocal coach too.
Floor is also a vocal coach .
Was. Fifteen years ago.
Saw the the band in LA 2022, at the Wiltern Theater , what a great show . I've been going to concerts since the late sixties (I'm 72) and this women has a stage presence that
is incredible. Plus , in my humble opinion , i believe that she is one of the finest singers on Earth.
Floor can alter the placement from her head voice to chest voice as if flicking a switch. Ghost Love Score live at Wacken, 2013, is an ideal starting point for showing a range of different vocal styles (though not all of them). She’s not the Swiss Army knife of singers because, to accommodate so many tools, the object is compromised. There is no compromise in her voice.
this is the last album of a trilogy, I would suggest pick any song from the 2013 Wacken Concert.The whole concert is epic.
I prefer shoemaker
Their best live performance is probably the 2015 live at wembley stadium, one of the few times they did Ghost Love Score, the Greatest Show on Earth and The Poet and the Pendulum
Floor can also Live go back and forth from different placements, larings, styles in a fraction of second and also do voice acrobatics on any song - AND her breathing technique is out of the scale and supports Mega long singing stretches without a need of a breath. She is the perfect Vocalist who can sing anything with any style and any tone. Nightwish Songs like "Ghost Love Score", "Poet and the Pendulum", "Storytime" all Live will show her skills!
Nightwish fans, this song is going to be a lot of people's introduction to the band. We need to act better.
HAHAHA! 😂😂😂 I think it was a great introduction!
Agreed! Every introduction is a good introduction. Let's move on to what's next rather than complaining.
I concur. We need to allow each new listener to experience their own Nightwish journey.
Love from California ❤
Totally concur. People often go for a new release, so we need to do better and just guide them to the next song kindly! Thank you for this comment my friend!
I can appreciate that sentiment, but I've browsed through quite a few of the comments, and I don't really see Nightwish fans acting badly, and I'm not in that army so I'm pretty impartial. It's just undeniable that this video is not the best representation of what Floor, or the band are actually capable of.
Hello Veronna, greetings from UK
That was a great reaction, thank you
Floor (lead singer) is one of the most versatile vocalists out there at the moment, truly world class. She describes herself as a vocal nerd 😁
A great introduction song which showcases some of her versatility is a song called "Ghost Love Score", the live performance from their Wacken 2013 show. Some other teachers from your academy have reacted to the song before, but I would really like to hear your reaction and analysis 😊
The videography and sound quality from that concert was really good and you can hear Floor's voice really well in the mix
I am really looking forward to hearing more Nightwish reactions from you, I just love your reaction style 😊
Awesome, thanks!! I will probably do others of Nightwish for sure 😉 !
And thank you, glad you liked the video
@@VeronnaMusic I REALLY like your reaction style and your personality 🙂
Nightwish has many videos that are live performances, 2013 and forward with Floor as the singer, two other singers prior to 2013. I have noticed over the years that many people's first introduction to the band is with the 2013 Wacken concert, most with Ghost Love Score, where Floor gets to show off many (but not all) of her vocal techniques and mix from head to deep chest all in one song. I found your breakdown enjoyable!
I was honestly waiting with baited breath for your first Nightwish reaction. Floor is a vocal coaches dream to react to (which is why EVERY vocal coach channel on YT has at least one Nightwish reaction). She is the living embodiment of what one can accomplish with the proper training and drive to be the best at what you do. Others have already suggested Shoemaker (Live is mind-blowing), but look at Gabriel's list, pick out the styles that appeal to your curiosity, and go for it! Can't wait to see how far down the rabbit hole you go! Nightwish Army, AZ Division checking in 🇺🇲🌵
Honestly, as much as I like this song this doesn't even begin to give you a sense of what Floor can do. I'm intrigued and entertained enough by your personality and for your love of music to immediately subscribe as I look forward to experiencing more from you!
Try "Shoemaker" by Nightwish to get a quick sense of some of Floor's talent. That will be a proper appetizer. From there, you won't believe the range and extent of her catalog. Cheers!
Wow thank you so much!!! 😊 I'll listen to more of her and Nightwish for sure!
Hi Veronna, i like to add: Listen/watch to the live performances of Nightwish and Floor Jansen. You'll be amazed for shure. Greetings from the Netherlands Nightwish Army East Division. 🤘🔥🤘@@VeronnaMusic
A bientot
I'm glad to see another vote for the motion made in the premier chat!
Floor only had her first singing lessons at the age of 18, at a rock academy. She later learned the basics of classical music at a conservatory. Then there were metal growls. She attaches great importance to comprehensive training. She is a workaholic and when she has nothing to do she starts singing. She'll probably give a whole concert during the day. She sounds the same live and the bigger the audience, the better she sings. She thrives on the energy of the crowd. She sees herself as a metal singer, but recently released a pop album as a side project:
Floor Jansen - Storm (Official Music Video)
Mastermind Tuomas Holopainen has, among others, Hans Zimmer as a role model. The singer at the end is Troy Donockley and grew up in the Fok scene. He's not a vocal athlete, but fits in such quiet moments. Folk is another integral part of Tuoma's compositions.
Wow thank you for all the information 😊
@@VeronnaMusic I forgot that Floor is the third singer.
Tarja Turunen wanted to become an opera singer and finished her training with Art song. She established opera singing in metal:
NIGHTWISH - The Phantom Of The Opera (OFFICIAL LIVE)
The Floor version:
Nightwish - The Phantom Of The Opera (ft. Henk Poort) (LIVE)
The second singer Anette Olzon was a pop singer:
Nightwish - Slow Love Slow live Montreux Jazz Festival 2012 HQ
There is also a Floor version here:
Floor Jansen - Slow, Love, Slow (Live)
The Ghost Love Score version from Wacken no longer corresponds to the original. The ending was too lame for Floor and she gave him a new one:
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (WACKEN 2013)
This is just a small taste of Nightwish. There are 20 years of Nightwish, it is a very deep rabbit hole full of wonderful and extraordinary music. Enjoy the journey
Nearer to 30 years! The band started in 1996!
This is NOT Nightwish, this is one tiny facet of a massive diamon. I promise you this chameleon of a vocalist and performer has a baffeling array of vocal skills beyond this style. Ghost love Score is maybe one of the few songs that tap into a wider array. There is so much more. Please enter the rabbit hole, if you are a vocal coach you owe it to your competence to investigate.
This is Nightwish. Everything Tuomas Holopainen writes with the label Nightwish is Nightwish. End of that story.
Yikes, speaking as a Nightwish fan, get over yourself
Greatest Show on Earth is definitely their magnum opus.
Or Shoemaker for more recent clear voice techniques by Floor.
When Floor sings soft and beautiful I am home. So gorgeous.
As already recommended: Ghost, Love Score live at Wacken 2013
Welcome to the world of Nightwish! I would be thrilled if you could react to more of their songs. Greetings from Colombia
What an amazing reaction an analysis! Please do more Nightwish! It was just a touch of their Music Universe.
Thank you! 😌 I will! Stay tuned 😊
Hello Verona, nice reaction on a great voice. For me and many others is Floor Jansen the most versatile female singer in the world. But….the song Ghost Love Score ( Wacken 2013) is such a pleasure to react for a voice teacher. In this song is Floor unbelievable good. A must for professionals to watch…and to learn. Young Floor was for years also a voice teacher. Greetings from the Netherlands
Thank you!!! Will check it out 😊
@@VeronnaMusicindeed, you must see Nightwish live by yourself. Mark of your team react three years ago about Ghost Love Score. I hope you do by yourself or the song Shoemaker ( Deichbrand 2022).
I agree. This is not the song to start with Nifhtwish. It's a great song but need to dive into more of their live performances. Start with Wacken and Ghost live score
Or Story Time from the same concert :)
Yes. But ghost love score demonstrates many different vocal styles. Storytime is also great . It has belting, opera, and Rock. The whole Wacken concert has amazing vocals. An even deeper dive is floors first band After forever . She was super talented even age 20. Also special from last album is song Shoemaker . It has an ending beautiful opera performance.
@@jerrybk1 agreed, though Shoemaker is one of the few songs where I prefer the music video to the live version. Not that the live version is bad, but the visuals from the music video is stunning.
Troy does sing one line different at the end there, the line "Last sighs on a deathbed" changes to "Last sighs of a million loves". It's a beautiful way to kind of zoom out even further and offer that different perspective of us coming from this long line of lives all with their own stories and dreams and adventures that we'll never know about. Honestly the theme of this song breaks my brain a bit but it's such an interesting thing to think about. Not many artists write about the stuff that Nightwish do and it's a breath of fresh air.
Hi ! Welcome to Nightwish world ! I really hope we´ll see more with you. And I did like every comment of yours, very clear, very easy to understand.
Thank you, you got a new subscriber here too. Greets from Finland.
Thank you very much!! ☺️🙏🏻 Glad you liked it!!!
Hi Veronna .As much as I love Nightwish and Floor, I don't think this song is suitable as a Nightwish introduction. As written before, try Ghost Love Score live at Wacken or try Floor alone at Beste Zanger with her cover of Shallow. Both are incredible.
It sounds like you think vocal coach are stupid and can't hear anything else than the vocals, and then circle jerk vocals. This is a composition where everything is important not just vocal crap.
Floor Jansen's Bio is on Wiki. Yes, she's also schooled in Classical singing and performed in several recitals, but the focus of her Musical education was more on Pop and Metal. Before Nightwish, Floor was frontwoman of After Forever and Revamp.
wow :) i'm so glad for your journey ahead. this is a song in which floor is not the center piece, it's really about the message, the story, the collective of the band. the fact, what you loved her voice and were able to talk for so long about the song makes me excited for the songs where she is the center piece and does show off, particularly her mixed voice, and particularly live. if you loved this, you'll be in awe listening to the other songs. can't wait. have fun
You need to hear Floor doing "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013 to get an idea of her ability.
How cool is it that I just discovered you, reacting to Electric Callboy, and then shortly after, you react to the first time to my favorite vocalist! I give you major props to immediately recognizing that Floor is classically trained, though I'm guessing not to the extent you think she is (only about a year). But she is a vocal nerd, and was a vocal coach for many years.
Although I love Floor in the studio, where she really gets her superpowers is live, so I hope you get a chance to react to her live performances (especially with Nightwish) very soon.
Nice I’ll check her live for sure!! Thank you! 😌
Jebus what an amazing breakdown, I've watched dozens of reactions to Floor's singing, but this is like listening to an amazing teacher. First time I'm trying to sing along just to understand the point better 😄
Oh wow so happy you liked it 😃
Thank you!!
Floor Jansen first completed his studies at a rock academy and then studied musical and opera part-time. I think the perfect songs to get to know your vocal range are Phantom of the Opera together with the Dutch leading man of the Phantom Henk Poort, then Shallow and then of course Ghost Love Score with Nightwish.
More Floor!!!
What I rarely see in comments is that Floor consider herself foremost as a metal vocalist.
She did a 4 year course at the Rock Academy in the Netherlands.
During or after Rock Academy she did 1 year classical/musical training.
She left because the focus was too much on theory than learning the technique.
Keep that in mind, only 1 year of classical training.
She also admitted that she's a vocal technique nerd.
Yes, there's a lot of effort and practice behind what for us mortals seems so effortless and easy.
What she can do with her voice was not handed to her on a silver plate.
Just my 2 cents why Floor is so good at what she does.
You should remember this day... you're very first "Floorgasm" You really should watch their performance of "The Greatest Show On Earth" live at Tampere!
Bienvenue dans le monde merveilleux de Nightwish, très intéressante analyse/réaction !
N'hésite pas à continuer ta découverte de leur répertoire devant la caméra à nouveau !
Merci 😊
for me, Floor is the pinnacle of good singing techique. She can do it all with her voice, in a lot of registers, she masters breathing technique, she can do anything she wants and sing in any genre of music. Her full opera voice may not be as good as a full opera singer, because, as she said herself, singing opera was not her thing, so she just picked up some techniques and evolved into more rock singing. Trying to emulate what she does is almost a singing lesson in itself! Listen to anything from nightwish live, she is out of this world. I can't listen to studio versions of some songs anymore, it all sounds so bleh after you hear her vocie for real!
Bonjour Veronna!! Definitely need to check out Ghost love score live at Wacken 2013!! A pure gem!!
New vocal coach, same food metaphors! Hell yeah. Your singing examples around the 24:00 mark are amazing. Almost had a jump scare when you added proper power to them.
Thank you!! Good jump scare? Hahha 😂😅
Classical singing theory for dummies. This reactor is brilliant, explaining stuff in ways even a musical disaster like me gets it.
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done and welcome to the Nightwish Family, it is fun and highly recommended to go back to the period when Floor joined Nightwish (2013) with the concert Wacken!! And to follow the order that Gabriel indicates!? Have fun !! 😘
Love your analysis, combined with tips exercice. Manu thanks and happy you are discovering nightwish ! A long story, many talents and incredible musical word ! 🤟🏻🔥
Thank you so much!! 😃
Brilliant reaction thankyou. You are spot on about Floor she has had years of classical training, she also teaches too. Floor is without doubt one of the greatest vocalist in the world she can sing any GENRE of music brilliantly . Check out all her Nightwish and all her solo stuff and you will find out. She covers musicals and Disney ( for her young daughter) too
Thank you very much!! ☺️🙏🏻
Our beloved Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy has given birth to a baby girl 😊❤.
Doesn't bother her at all, singing live or in the studio. 😊❤ She did opera only for one year, just for the technical side of it.
Great to see another reaction from a vocal coach that obviously knows what they are talking about!
I hope🙏🙏you listen to Ghost love score, storytime, everdream etc from Wacken live 2013 🤘🙏🙏
29:09 she can do that, she did it multiple times live, 2 and a half hour shows, ending with a song having her belting upper F's and G's.. She is well trained, and gifted.. She smokes sigars and drinks whisky aswell... She is gifted.. amazing.
I think the technical term is a "Floor Dominant Voice" 😜 Thank you Veronna for an incisive breakdown reaction (great voice exercises that helped my treacle like voice) to this new offering from the wonderful Nightwish 🙏👍😊❤️
My pleasure! Glad it helped 😊 !
What a song from the metal Mozart and the guys...and that Woman is the gift to mankind.
Floor Jansen simgs anyting , the best singer we have now , now she sing exactly what the composer (Toumas Holopainen) wanted . Floor is very versitile and have full control ..
Greetings from nwAse Sweden
She is really great indeed 😊
You would like this song, a great lpng song. The Greatest show on earth. It is not about The band.
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she
got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power
of her vocals.
We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard.
ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!
The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready!
Nightwish Army Gulf Coast Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Nightwish Army Germany calling. Welcome to the World of Nightwish 😊
Do the live Songs with Floor....ALL of them, start with the Wacken 2013 Konzert 😊
It's been a long time since there was Nightwish-activity on the Kardavox channel. Good thing you've explained Mark did not find himself one hell of a good doctor.
Floor got a bachelors degree at the Rock Academy and then half a masters education in Musical Theater. She focused on the classical singing, but you can also see it the way she moves on stage. She really displays the lyrics and emotion on stage. That is one of the reasons why they are so good live on stage (a part from all the efforts that have gone into the lighting and video backdrop)
Great video. I hope to see you listening to Floor's live performance.
Just wait and see. She does it ALL live without a hussle. Please react to some Live stuff from 2013 or later.
That was interesting. You surely added your spin on it - gave value to this video. So one of the best for this. (Not only listening and nodding or repeating wow, but) giving your expertese to this. (Though i'm not sure i could do a smoothie after hearing your explanation - but that's not about your words but the fact i know almost nothing about singing, or am able to do any of those i now know theoretically [after listening to vocal coaches] )
A new sub here. ❤
Thank you!!! Haha the smoothies are learnt in private lessons with me 😉 ! Glad you liked the video!
If you wanted to hear a Nightwish song of the first time, I would pick a live verson of "Ghost Love Score"
Hi Veronna, great reaction. You have a lot to explore. Especially the live performances. You will NOT be disappointed. Enjoy
Thanks 😊
I bumped up the video, curious to see more of her analysis.
But you just need to know, the lead singer did a 16 seconds long note at the very last minute of a challenging 80 minute live setup including the song "shoemaker" (Hellfest 2022, youtube)
Welcome to the family, Veronna. Nightwish is a Finnish-based band with current and former members from Finland (Tuomas, Emppu, Kai, Jukka, Jukka, Marko, Tarja), The Netherlands (Floor) and England (Troy). They perform in English, so its the second language for most.
For this song, the orchestral music and choral voices are all real live recordings. Nightwish will play them back in concert.
You should do ( Ghost Love Score) from the live 2013
concert. Performance in front of 82,000. In Attendance. Gabriel has song with links at the bottom of his comments. All the songs the nightwish army loves.
This is not a prime song to listen her voice abilities, but you hear it anyway. Nice reaction.
Thank you 😊
I am pleased to welcome you to the wonderful world of Nightwish from the UK Oldies Division (East Anglian branch) of Nightwish Army. As you delve deeper into their music (as I hope you will) you will find many diverse songs. Symphonic metal is the official genre, but you will find songs ranging from metal to ballads and even a jazz track. I have subscribed to your channel in the hope that you'll keep on watching and listening to Nightwish, especially their live recordings. I saw them live at Wembley in November 2022 and it was the most amazing unforgettable experience. To hear more from them, I suggest you follow Gabriel's list or pick and mix from it. I have followed Nightwish for some time now and all the compositions and musicianship never fail to please. Looking forward to your next reaction.
I really enjoyed the reaction, thanks :D
Glad you did! Thank you! 😌
Hello Veronna, Kardavox Academy, you have just tasted a bit of Floor Jansen's vocal capabilities and are just as touched by Nightwish (Musical Box of Pandora) as we are. (Jansen, pronounced: Yahn-Sen) Although Nightwish is a Finnish band, their third singer (and also the male voice at the end) is not. She is Dutch, lives with her husband Hannes van Dahl, the drummer of the Swedish band Sabaton, and their two daughters in Sweden.
Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career (initially) just as the background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997, but real soon she took over the lead until early 2009 and the band fell apart. Parallel she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. She studied Musical Theatre and one year Opera. She plays guitar, piano and flute and has completed 12 years of music studies. She’s a Light Lyric Soprano and her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons.
On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1, 2012 (while she was within ReVamp, but recovering from a burnout) Floor replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. After one year (shortly after the Wacken Open Air festival concert 2013) on October 9th 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer.

Hello, Lass. You started your journey at a transition point in the Nightwish world. To truly explore Floor's vocal agility I would recommend three songs. First is the ever-popular Ghost Love Score live at Wacken in 2013. Then there is Shoemaker the lyric video is great, and finally How's The Heart unplugged from Nuclear Blast studio, Then you can tackle Phantom of the Opera live from Vigo Dome in 2022. That should be enough to melt your brain. You will learn much from our Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen. Welcome to the army from Ontario.
Everyone in Nightwish is a pro for decades. Listen to more, you‘ll find almost any style, any Emotion, turning loose your imagination. Nightwish can change your life, seriously.
Lol
This is not the song to react to if you want to hear Floor,she’s been drowned in the chorus and mix. You’re much better off watching a live Nightwish performance from Wacken 2013,Tampere or Wembley 2015 if you want to analyse her range,technique and talent ….. Gabriel’s list has the best quality performances with regards to sound and visual quality.
Hello Veronna! 😉
Floor Jansen was shot to the heights of the musical sky by her membership in Nightwish band. She was known even before, but nowhere near as famous as she is today.
She's a perfect singer, I don't know anyone like her, but to evaluate the song and the performance only through her singing wouldn't be correct. 🙂
Everyone in the band is a true master like (for example) Kai Hahto with his prefect drumming technics, or Emppu Vuorinen - the guitar magician with his awesome sense for the perfection of the song he's playing...
But there are 3 unusual masters in the Nightwish band - Tuomas Holopainen can play 10 musical instruments at a professional level and compose the magnificent music and texts, Troy Donockley can play 12 musical instruments at a professional level, sing and compose music. Floor Jansen is maybe 5 singers in one, beacuse her voice is very flexible - limpid as a crystal, gentle and tender, silent and soft, but it also can be hard and powerful, or also rough, strong and growling. She has a voice like no one... Which band in the entire world can tell that about itself? Nightwish is a gem in the world of music!🤘
Hi Veronica. Huge Nightwish fan from Phoenix, Arizona new subscriber here for you. I love this song and performance. Thank you for this wonderful reaction.
Thank you, that’s very kind of you. 😊
Can't wait for a reaction/analysis of Ghost love score and Storytime LIVE at Wacken 😁
nature is metal ladies & gentlemen
Thanks for a super fascinating analysis. Of all songs with Floor this must be one of the hardest to analyse her voice because of the stylistic choice to mix her voice low and make it sound somewhat ethereal. I'd suggest Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013 or Shoemaker official lyric video for something to sink your teeth into.
Although I agree Shoemaker is a fantastic example of Floor, the live version shows that she didn't need multiple takes spliced together to create that MAJESTIC sound.
NOT THIS ,ONLY LIFE ,AND THERE SO MANY GREAT DUTCH FEMALE SINGERS ,LIKE FLOOR.
Oh my, what a gorgeous vocal coach.
Haha thank you!! ☺️
You need to check out more, especially live. This is not even in the top 75% of her stuff that I would have recommended for a first listen,
Definitely check out Ghost Love Score live from Wacken. It's absolutely mindblowing.
Listen to their previous album, Human Nature. It's very impressive, vocally and otherwise.
You should see more live Nightwish action! Check out the incredible Wacken 2013 concert! I see it every year 1-2 times and i got always goosebumps! They did a DVD from this concert called Showtimy, Storytime. There are a lot of other liveconcerts in the web, like Buenos Aires, Wembley, Tampere and many more. Nightwish exist nearly 3 decades and there is so much to discover!
Hey so welcome to the Nightwish Army first off second off if you react to clean vocals and your partner reacts to screaming it's probably going to take both of you in most reactions...
I am not one of the Nightwish army, though I happily defer to them for all things Nightwish. If your purpose here was to check out Floor, then there are thousands of better examples of her performing both with Nightwish, and solo. This is giving you only the barest glimpse of what she's actually capable of.
The complexity of Nightwish music is unmatched by any other symphonic power rock bands out there, with the exception of Epica.
Floor can sing any genre. I think you would enjoy Ghost Love Score as she covers 4 different genres in one song. She is my all-time favorite singer in my favorite band. The song was number 13 of 15 that Nightwish played live at the Wacken 2013 festival in front of 82,000 fans. They cut a DVD for this performance, so voice and music are gold. Also, her vocals are definitely not low in the mix. They are in your face. 😊🤘 Ghost Love Score: ua-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Reacting to Nightwish the first time and the new song, unexpected but nice. They are fantastic live and you should watch Ghost love score from Wacken 2013. She is singing with different style there and its fantastic
@KardavoxAcademy Please, we want mooore!! 🖤 More from Veronna for sure, with her beautiful analysis, and next time over our most dear live performances from Nightwish, I hope! And thanks for the awesome reaction! This song is amazing, and IT GROWS ON YOU!
Thank you, that’s very kind of you. 😊
Hi there, Veronna. Firstly, thanks for the free style lesson. Welcome to the Nightwish Army. Recommended reactions: Well, anything from Floor's work with Nightwish from 2013 to present day! Also check out her solo work in Netherland's BesteZangers show and her own performances live. You'll find it all on youtube. Good work so far girl. Keep it up.💋🧡!!!
Thank you very much!! ☺️🙏🏻
