I like how Marko gives zero F's for how anyone else would sing a song. He just does what Marko does.
Read the history!!Tarja is the Original singer!!!
@@katigallagher5510 thats mean nothing 😒
Yea, with his raspy voice he is Da beast :P
@@pedjavukmirovic6770 ... it does to legions of those who love her and regard her as very special...as do Floor fans who follow her to the ends of the earth
good but a tad over the top with the wailing at the very end...
I always get shivers when Marko cries, "Sing, my angel of music!"
I’ve never heard a man sing phantom better than Marco. Floor is my favorite Nightwish singer, but I like Tarjas version of this song more. But Ghost love score, Floor just destroys that song and always gives me goose bumps.
Highly under-rated comment! That line is supposed to be ominous.
My favourite part is when he sings "my power over you grows stronger yet". Yikes! It's mind blowing.
Not only is Marco a convincing Phantom, but he's playing intricate basslines while doing so.
"it's magical". Magical is a Nightwish normal state of being.
Sadly they started losing their magic after Tarja left. Now Marko is gone.
I agree, Marco's voice fits the character of the Phantom perfectly
... if only musical directors & singers would "get it" too. The Phantom NEEDS to be growly / dark / creepy / SCARY, because that's what he is.
Marko does the Phantom the way he should be done... the Phantom is a deranged madman... a psychopathic killer and this take absolutely NAILS that. Webber is said to absolutely love this version. I will always hold this in a special place because this video was my introduction to Nightwish. Still gives me chills. The word masterpiece comes to mind.
same1 i remember showing my choir teacher this version in like 11th grade!
I saw them about a year before this was recorded, and I still remember the chills and goosebumps of hearing it live. I'd seen the Broadway show a couple years before, and this was so much better.
Tarja, at first, had a devil of a time adjusting her strict classical delivery to the power metal timing, pitch and constant key changes but once she did...perfection ensued naturally and for 9 years she was unstoppable....
a vocal beast indeed...she spent that entire highly acclaimed night endeavouring to stay ahead of the fever by constantly changing outfits and taking every chance to rest....one of their most acclaimed concerts....love Floor but adore Tarja since the start
Tarja is legendary for blending her powerful initial, very mezzo voice so perfectly with the band that it become an instrument onto itself...their early power metal days in "from wishes to eternity" concert is a perfect example
Tarja is the first and original vocalist of Nightwish, with her the group recorded 5 albums (Angels fall first, Oceanborn (masterpiece), Wishmaster, Century child, Once (big album). Today Tarja pursuing a successful solo career, I really liked her latest album "In the raw". I recommend more Nightwish with Tarja:
- Slaying the dreamer, Planet hell, Wishmaster, Sleeping sun from the concert End of an era;
- Swanheart, Walking in the air, Dead boys poem, The Pharion sails to orion from the concert From Wishes to enternity (at this concert you are can really appreciate Tarja's voice);
- End of all hope, 10th man down from the Summer Breeze festival.
You forgot Over the Hills. Great list of performances though.
Wishmaster is absolutely Tarja piece of cake I don't think Floor can handle it:)
What is the difference between the first and the original?
Tarja made NIGHTWISH. Marco is an Ok singer. Sometimes you over does it. But, With Floor is it good also. But Tarja is da BEST!
Aaaah, Sleeping Sun is so good
Tarja uses red, yellow and black outfits with matching microphones as a trademark...she is indeed a vocal beast....this is from 2005..her last concert with Nightwish ..the date of liberation (the true unleashing of the vocal beast and warmest, most charasmatic personality)
And white too... As we can see in Wish I Had an Angel's song on this concert... BTW, it's my favourite concert, by far...
Tarja adjusted her strict operatically trained voice to the requirements of the metal performance..while with Nightwish, she likewise brilliantly performed formal operatic pieces and to this day divides her time between her acquired love of metal and classical
Tarja was their original singer! ;) For me it’s my favorite but I love the 3 eras so much! She had the flu in this concert
What is the difference between the first and the original?
The Islander Live has to be next! Marco is an amazing singer and it's very well reflected in that performance!
Oh yes
@@EmBaMusik or High Hopes
Hard agree
I've been told the doctor adviced Tarja not to perform that night. That's why she sounded a little out of breath.
my understanding of it , as well...a real diva ..haha....she also showed her alleged, selfishness by returning to the stage to finish out 4 more songs, ( on a night in 2000) after being attacked 20 some minutes prior , on that night, while in the middle of performance....she stated that she struggled for 20 some seconds with the assailant, until her manager jumped in and defended her, while security was lax and the boys just continued to play as though nothing happened..there is a clip of it on youtube..just look for Ataque de Tarja
Who told you ?
@@perfectone5848The Only act that her manager did right !
@@wearehere8925 Just some Nightwish fans. I believe them, but that's just me!
@@wearehere8925 ...its yet another perfect example of her love and appreciation of the fans...Marcelo ADVISED HER AGAINST going on that last night to safeguard against possible serious damage, but she did it anyway because that is the pro she is...and even in her most weakened, she performed brilliantly in this, one of their most celebrated concerts...while Tuomas, the martyr, went to tie one one with his half-drunk buddies, while all, the exhausted Tarja could do is collapse into bed...she showed them mercy by answering treachery with discretion and that is what saved them from complete collapse...far more than they ever deserved...though happy for Floor having the opportunity to shine after her burnout ( never understood that, remembering how great she was in After Forever and REvamp)...
"Shivering shizkebabs". Need to remember that.
Marko is outstanding, loved his vocals.
Best verison ever. Epic. The most beautiful mayhem. I always feel like I have to hold my breath for this whole performance.
Toumas, Tarja and Emppu formed Nightwish in highschool in 1996. And her voice allways fellt like a 5th instrument rather then a lead singer, Nightwish was all about the music created by Toumas back then ;-)
Tarja's hauntingly dark, resonant voice which so blissfully fills any room she happens to be in, regardless of size...many great performances her and in "from wishes to eternity" concert
@@chrisbergsten1429 amen...be great if we could blend the two in some type of perfect amalgam
The best version of the song I have heard!
I cannot remember which interview Tarja mentioned this in, but she did talk about the microphone vs classically singing without one. She mentioned that when she first started with Nightwish, she had trouble with just letting the microphone do its work and kept pushing really hard. I think the phrase she used was, "singing like there was a potato in the back of my mouth". But she mastered it very well. Honestly, her sound and her dedication to her craft are such an inspiration. She's done live performances on Instagram since the pandemic started and it's lovely to hear her voice in its natural state.
yah i loved those ..the vocal splendor, Q&a sessions..so bubbly and genuine..loved it..miss those lately
@@perfectone5848 Her voice sounds so much like my old voice teacher's voice who was such a great mentor to me. It was so comforting to hear Tarja singing like that during the beginning terror of the pandemic. She and Floor have both done so much to reach out to their fans during this time and it has been very fun to learn more about both of them!
@@xfortunesquex ... i hear you...i am still in Tarja withdrawal mode from those sessions...at least Floor has taken over, in that area...Tarja and Floor are great inspirations to me as well...i followed them both from the early days and was always in awe of their persistence to excel...and while today's NW fans are fairly aware of Floor's class and fan appreciative nature , the equally sweet nature of Tarja is somewhat unknown to those who had not been exposed to her....this explains why many still believe the misstatements with which Tuomas has labeled her all those years back...
@@perfectone5848 They seem to both be wonderful people. Anette is really nice, too, from what I see. I think Tarja and Anette both get a bad reputation because they were both dismissed from the band. People don't realize that it's way more complicated than that. And I do think both decisions appear, at least on the surface, to have been handled less than ideally. That isn't to say that I have any malice toward Tuomas or the band; it was just very unfortunate how it happened and was a difficult decision all around. Truly, a situation where nobody wins.
@@xfortunesquex ..yes all three ladies are very nice...and i personally have no ill will towards Tuomas...but the way he dealt with Tarja was dishonorable , especially, since she, out of loyalty to him, agreed to remain in the band but under her terms to which they agreed and then began to resent...his claims about her canceling concert, for instance, referred to, not the original one in Oslo, for which she had adequate notice, but the impromptu one, the following night, for which she received a very short notice and turned it down because of her commitment with someone else ( she was already in the proces of establishing her solo career and put that partially on hold to fulfill her obligations with Tuomas...and the pivotal statement " i can leave at any time" that she made was in reference to her being already partially independent and was said out of heat of passion after learning that they were not going to accept the earlier stipulation that the tours will be very limited, given her health concerns and need for a personal life...he then goes on to say that as a result of this statement, he can no longer write songs for her...fine then..call it quits and let her go to pursue her own career..but no
If you liked Tarja you've only just scratched the surface, I recommend Walking in the Air from the Wishes to Eternity concert or Wishmaster from End of an Era
I'll add Slaying the Dreamer and the Siren from End of an Era."
Sleeping sun. The studio version.
The thing with Tarja is ... you could have cut off her microphone at the end and they'd still have been able to hear her ...
yap, she trained to do just that...
Marko's voice had to be muted so that it would not obscure Tarja's voice!
Likewise, there is songs where the sound of the backing track choir had to be muted for the same reason !
@@mylife3350 - That's not the point I was making. Have them both on stage, no mic and then move away from them while they sing at the top of their voices. I betcha you can hear Tarja long after you can't hear Marco anymore. I assume you never attended an opera?
@@haraldschuster3067 I do know Caruso ,Callas and so on start with !
@@mylife3350 - You haven't seen them live, though (I assume, unless you are allergic to garlic and spend the nights in a coffin). When you - as I do - record concerts you experience how much power a pop or rock singer has and what comes out of the mouth of a fully trained opera singer. Being able to sing - without aid of amplification - over a full orchestra so that you can be heard in the farthest balcony is a skill that takes years of training and most singers can't do that for an entire opera, maybe for an aria and then they're exhausted. Tarja has trained for lyrical singing - that requires a level of power and projection that only a small percentage of singers can manage. Marko has his own qualities - I never heard someone able to add rasp to his falsetto in the way he does, absolutely amazing - but he doesn't have the same level of projection. It's not a good or bad thing, it's a technical thing that doesn't matter when microphones are used (except for the guy who has to do the mix).
Marco has such a unique voice. I love him. He has a band called Tarot. He recently came out with a solo self-titled work, realeased with both english and finnish lyrics.
I saw them in this tour and Tarja (original singer, Floor is the 3rd) and she changed dresses and microphones with the same colour all the concert.
Glad to see a Tarja reaction pop up in my recs. Everyone always reacts to Floor and while I like her, to me Tarja IS Nightwish.
yah, everyone is reacting to gls from wacken but if they looked at other Tarja era song performances , they'd be blown away by Tarja
EXACTLY!!!
I can only agree to that, I love the Tarja with Nightwish era.
I agree 100%
Well, Tarja to be more specific, to me Tarjas vocals + Marcos vocals + Tuomas' writing + the band is Nightwish. I feel that once you take any of that away it's not the same.
I know I'm incredibly late to this comment but...I must disagree....Tuomas IS Nightwish. Everything Nightwish embodies IS Tuomas' orchestration, lyrics, melodies, instrumentals, he is the powerhouse of that band. Losing tarja was awful, but they found Floor and are still epic. Losing Marco is awful, but they can find another powerful male vocalist and instrumentalist, and they will be epic. They ever lose Tuomas...and I truly believe Nightwish will never recover.
Marko doing Floyd's "High Hopes" from the same concert is well worth a gander. I predict you'll enjoy that just as much,
Tarja was sick as a dog during that performance. High fever and throwing up between songs.
And still planted that presence, performance and that high note.
I love this Phantom of the Opera so much!! Wonderfully atmospheric, Marko and Tarja are superb!
Tarja is a literal Siren. Her voice is so hypnotic...
Tarja Turunen is the band's original vocalist. Nightwish has 9 studio albums, 5 with Tarja, 2 with Anette and 2 with Floor, the current singer. Tarja was sick at this performance and was advised by the doctors not to sing, thats why you noticed her tired breathing. She had flue or something like that. I would like to suggest another great performance with Tarja. Please react to "Swanheart", recorded on the dvd "From wishes to eternity". Thank you!
What is the difference between the first and the original?
@@wearehere8925 I see no difference. The original singer is the first vocalist of the band. Tuomas, Tarja and Empuu founded Nightwish. They are the beginning of everything. Tuomas had in mind to create the band and decided to call Tarja and Empuu. The three were friends from school.
@@Rafael-qi9bt It was a joke !
@@wearehere8925 hahahahaha
It doesn't get much better than this. A world class performance if there ever was one. Gives me the chills everytime.
The singing is perfect from both Tarja and especially Marko and they adjust to each other ... AND the arrangement of the piece supports this merger of the voices perfectly.
the issue with this rendition of the song is that it's SO MUCH BETTER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE. It gives me "bdsm in a haunted mansion". Marko is a beast with that voice, Tarja is a seraphim
you can spend a day watching reactions to this song just to see folks react to Marko.
I was waiting for this reaction man. Clicked faster than The Flash
Me too!
Aaaha savior of the universe
I love Tarja, so much!!!
And the TARJA, is the very reason, why i am NOT A FIRST TIME FLOOR FAN NO MORE!!!!!! 😮😮😮 WOW!!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍👍
Tarja was their original vocalist. Her termination from the band was quite dramatic, but she has gone on to a kick ass solo career.💜
Yeah!! With the song: diva!
I absolutely love her solo career, rather not solo career but I love her band Tarja 😍
What is the difference between the first and the original?
@@wearehere8925 Google it
@@MiguelLopez-is9te It was a joke !
I LOVE seeing Marko receive so much deserved praise!
Tarja is their first vocalist ☺️
In before someone says and their best :P, (I think they're all amazing tbh)
she is very special. indeed...as is Floor, in many ways
What is the difference between the first and the original?
WE ARE HERE huh? He said he thought Tarja was their second, so I commented saying she was their first
She was the First. When I was at the Tour it was called the Once-Tour and a few weeks later it was the End of an era-Tour.
Great reaction! Thank you very much Ken Lavigne!
Tarja Turunen was the original Nightwish vocalist for almost a decade, defining a big part of their sound with her classically infused vocal techniques which combined perfectly with Nightwish's inicial power metal and later symphonic metal sound, and also with Marco's vocals, as you noticed it was a perfect match in every way!
The great thing is that Tarja has been having an amazing solo career in the last 15 years... Her voice is really high (her last note on this one is an Eb6), but also a full and really powerfull sound (and in her career she always keeps on experimenting new things with her vocals, including a haunting dark and lower register she can belt out), plus having this theatrical presence on stage... I'm really glad you liked it!
As a sugestion, I'll leave you 3 links for some essential Live performances by Tarja Turunen solo in recent years:
1st - A very energetic Live version of "Victim of Ritual" (song composed by Tarja)... the crowd really goes wild at this one - from Woodstock festival: ua-cam.com/video/GxDnhbGTJSs/v-deo.html
2nd - An unbeliavable version of "Supremacy" (a Muse cover) Live at Hellfest festival - Very powerfull high notes: ua-cam.com/video/wmMBI_0X3oE/v-deo.html
3rd - As an amzing follow up to the Nightwish video you just watched, here it is "Stargazers" in a Live performance where Tarja surpassed even hersef in the studio version from Nightwish's legendary "Oceanborn" album... its simply a Perfect and unmatched redition: ua-cam.com/video/2Hl2ibaUvcQ/v-deo.html (starting at 40.56min)
I hope you enjoy these ones as much as I do! Cheers! \m/ \m/
Kiitos!!!
Tarja is an unbelievable vocalist. Marko is very powerful and amazing vocals too. Drummer is excellent too.
Tarja is my absolute favorite Nightwish lead singer. Her voice is freaking amazing and i love her so much. Thank you for reacting to these videos
amen to that...she encompasses so many disparate flavors and nuances in her delivery that its as though one is hearing her for the first time, each instance a new live recording is unveiled
Tarja was the original trailblazer.
Without her in Nightwish from the early days on there probably wouldn´t have been a Nightwish worth talkking about today.
Nowadays,-
several beside her,- no one above her!
She needs to prove herself to no one.
During her time in Nightwish Tarja reigned supreme.
no probably, about it..before finding her Tuomas 's greatest ambition was to form a mood music group...
Came to hear Tarja and was more impressed by Marko. For me he is the incarnation of the phantom. Love his voice in this piece and the interaction with Tarja. Getting goosebumps every time i hear it. Please react to Stones or The Voice of my father by Marko Hietala from his soloalbum.
Tarja was how I was first introduced to nightwish back in high school. Her voice is soo powerful and haunting.
MARKO makes this an amazing performance. His Phantom is crazed and mesmerizing and Rocking.
The Phantom was originally going to be performed by a rock singer, actually, which is one of the reasons why rock works so well as a genre for this song. The even did a rock-style version of this song as a promo for the musical. But then they changed gears completely and chose Michael Crawford, and his performance was very different, but also what 90% of his successors have tried to emulate in their own performances since the musical as a whole was just such a revolution in the musical world.
I love how in the third verse Tarja sings the main part with Marco "interrupting" and then Marko takes the lead in the chorus with Tarja singing the harmony until the roles reverse for the last line at "The Phaaaaaaaantom [...] Miiiiiiind". And the lead voice at "The Phantom of the Opera is there" sings an octave lower than the harmony with a mellow tone then and jumps to the same octave and goes full power while the harmony voice goes full power at the start and gets more mellow to the end.
And for the 4th verse and chorus, all of that is the same except the roles are reversed
Fucking brilliant...
please react to Nightwish 'high hopes' for more of Marcos singing. and yes it is a Pink Floyd cover...
yes we need this
THIS!!!!!!! and it shows Emppu's style really well!
Absolutely!!! :D
Yes please!!
Would love to see you do Romanticide live Wacken 2013 for some more Marko (& Floor) awesomeness
islander.... for ,me..
Or ghost river!
@@rainrai he definitely needs to do Islander that song is amazing
The Islander is absolutely a must do, but he’s only done 3 Nightwish songs so far and I feel like that will be better appreciated a little further along his journey 🙂
Nightwish is Awesome!! ..they are an Amazing Finnish group,love this song. And more..
I like Marco in The Devil and the deep dark ocean live at Buenos Aires ,Floor and Marco duelling
Bassist is called Marco, so Yes you were correct!
Tarja was sick during this concert and still rocked it!
Thanks for doing this "Phantom of the Opera" reaction video on Nightwish's version with Tarja Turunen. It's so great to see how you enjoy this show. Your eyes are gleaming. :-) Yeah, Marco and Tarja absolutely nailed it. I'm always happy when Tarja gets the recognition she deserves as about 90% of the NW reaction vids feature Floor these days. Both singers are amazing. Keep it coming.
You should hear Tarja's performance of Poison. It's mind-blowing
High Hopes is a must and a perfect continuity piece for this song. Marco's solo piece from the same concert.
Entertaining reaction with new insight to technical aspect, thanks!
Really cool reaction. It's nice to see you reacting to NW songs with their first singer Tarja. You should react to some of Tarja's solo songs too. Check out Tarja's version of "Supremacy" (a Muse cover) live at Woodstock 2016, it's an amazing performance and it showcase her great vocal abilyties.
Tapani M sorry to correct you but this is not a nightwish song, its a cover of a musical song. I personal prefer reactions on songs written by Nightwish Tuomas (sometimes Marko). Does not mean Tarja and Marko did not perform a great cover, they sure did but its not Nightwish.
I LOVE TARJA ♡♡♡♡♡ 🇦🇷🇦🇷
Young Marco, already a vocal beast.
Check out the cover of "High Hopes" from the same concert for more of his, he really puts in a lot of emotion.
See Nightwish reaction, I click!
Mmm, in the beginning yes. But lately I always check with which frontlady they play. Because there's quite a difference, in my opinion.
Think TAF. Tarja, Anette, Floor. Now you just have to do Floor and Henk Poort's Phantom from Beste Zangers.
As much as I like this version, the one Floor performed on Beste Zangers pleased my ears more completely. Floor sings with her childhood Idol Henk Poort, and the chemistry is amazing. Thank you for reviewing this version.
Awesome reaction!!! Keep them coming!!!
Loved your reaction! 🤟
As others have said, Tarja did that while VERY ill. I would love to hear that when she is at full strength. And Marko killed it.

Hi! Please react to Tarja - Supremacy (live Woodstock 2016). Tarja - I Walk Alone (live in Rosario, Argentina). Tarja is amazing! What a voice!!
I love watching your reactions! Informative and joyful! I also got the goosebumps when Marco was singing for the first time in this song! Keep doing what you do :)
+1 for this reaction. This is a gem for history.
Good one there Ken!
Very impressive performance of both Marko and Tarja! One of the fans' favourites!
And what a phantom that is! 🙂 Oh Marko he is always exceptional!
Huzzah! Glad you reacted to this!
She just nails that D6. Marko is amazing
"I got shivers, well I'm sure you guys did when you first hear it" how about every time, for years and years, and the rest to come.
amen to that...its as incredible as the very first time one hears Tarja
Tks Ken! U great!
OMG i love your videos. 💕
Marco looks and sounds deranged in this performance, which fair enough, the phantom wasn’t exactly a stable character. But then he goes and composes and sings songs like While Your Lips are Still Red or The Islander (live at Tampere if you want to give it a listen) and it is such mood whiplash.
Funny that you commented about her microphone matching her dress, she actually switched outfits a few times in this concert and she did indeed have a red microphone for her red red dress and a white one for the white.
Yeah, I got goosebumps when I heard that ending too. Amazing chemistry between Marko and Tarja too!
loved the reaction, tnx. amazing performance by both singers, marko just rips it. btw tarja was the first singer, who made me fall in love with the band, way back in 1998 with the oceanborn album.
Best reaction for that video. Greetings from Brazil!
Tarja first love her...she my favorite Nightwish singer
amen..
I love this song.
Great reaction KL, kiitos.
such a wouderful reaction
Tarja was the one that got me to start to listen to this kind of music. This was in the end of the 90th. Now I am well immersed into Metal and LOOOOOVE FLOOR !!
she had the flu so not singing up to snuff altho her singing is really something here to me. Marco is amazing in this. Really amazing.
Great review. Her voice blew me away the first time too. But his is also earthy and fitting for the Phantom
Thee greatest show on Earth needs to make it to the react list as well
Excelente Ken ...From Argentina
Now I am extremely excited! Welcome to the wonderful world of Tarja! Please watch her solo performances from her solo career. Start with “supremacy”.
amen..
Yes yes yes
The whole Century Child album is a masterpiece.
Melhor interpretação da Canção Fantasma da Ópera!
Orgasmo Alucinante a voz de Tarja Turunen!!❤💘
I love Tarja!
This is a great version, but my personal favorite is with Floor Jansen and Henk Poort on the TV show Beste Zangers. Henk was the Dutch Phantom for quite a while, and Floor's idol growing up. They have some amazing chemistry. Give it a listen. Thank you for reacting to this one too. Nicely done Sir.
You asked what make a drummer (Jukka) he just crying coz this was a last concert of Tarja with Nightwish and the name of dvd delivered from this End of an Era
You should check out Tarja Turunen - SUPREMECY(Muse cover)
Yes! The Hellfest performance 👌
or Woodstock
Just commented the same. Chills everytime
Tarja had a cold during this, her last, preformance with Nightwish. So glad to hear that you liked this video 😀
and a serious throat infection...night of liberation for the one and only...
Think of the audience they performed. Metal fans that loved it. Talk about crossing genres.
I was there, a concert never forgotten. The last one with Tarja. Truly the End of Era. Listen Siren and Ghost Love Score from the same concert.
Nightwish are masters of contrast
For This variant of band with voice of Tarja... I was falling in love in 1996
