Sistah, you did it again! I was trying to find an analogy to really explain what these videos do to me, so please bare with me:
My mind is like a sheet of metal and these songs have been hammered into my mind so many times, their outline is now clearly defined and no longer make any dents when I listen to them.
When I watch you react to them, it's like my mind gets smoothed down again and the songs really make a clear impression, as if I've heard them for the first time.
But it's better than the first time I heard them, because now I have a more refined musical understanding and more maturity, more open mindedness.
You being so open to us and not hiding your emotions allows me to project your emotions onto me and amplify the shock of the music and the emotional charge.
Thank you, again, for letting me feel what 15 year old me was feeling when listening to these songs!
You moved me so deeply, ny this remarkable message. 😢 I appreciate you for sharing this with me. People, like you, that are willing to pour out your truest feelings and thoughts, without inhibition, makes my metal journey more enjoyable and it gives me the desire to want to continue, allowing you all to see me vulnerable side.
Thank you, beautiful ☺🤗😘😘😘💖
Dude you should write poets or books that was deep man and the same way i feel it too. I have listened to Nightwish so much that now i enjoy watching other people getting that same experience..sistah made me cry too :)
Damn man that was deep
It is seeing someone experiencing the same feelings you had when hearing it for the first time, but for you it already has memories attached to it. Same for me especially since my mom died that same year. I cannot listen to it without a tear in my eye since the breakup of nightwish and after that my mom passed away. I totally get that analogy you make.
They sung the best version of Phantom of the Opera I'd ever heard, of course for those who love this type of music!
I adore it, Tarja has a stunning voice, so dramatic, so loud, powerful projection, so theatrical, so damn good ... She's Divine!
Tarja didn't audition for Nightwish, Tuomas and Emppu went to ring her doorbell and asked her whether she'd like to join. She said yes and the rest is history. Tuomas didn't know the extent of her voice until they were recording their first song for the first demo.
Watching this performance NEVER gets old.
I watched this performance ovah... and ovah... and ovah, again!! xDDD ♥
So true. Tarja is amazing on that one.
@@HalfLifeSistah Watch some of her performances from ACT I. She sings the same song there but with her own band and Diego Valdez as the phantom. Anyway the really impressive part is she's six months pregnant and can still hit those crazy high notes. Anyway, watch the whole video Act I, there's lots of good songs.
And then comes Henk and Floor !!!
It is new !!!
And better !!!
You had to.
If you see a red button named "nuclear", you'll just push it.
You have no decency, no respect, no common sense. Maybe I exaggerate, and then I'd beg your pardon.
Wolf clearly loves introducing her to the music that's touched him, and she's so open to it. That's why this is quickly becoming one of my favourite channels.
I'm having TOO MUCH fun!😄💖🙌🏾✊🏾🤘🏾
I agree!! Her reaction is always priceless, and he knows exactly what stunning music to present to her! Love them both!
Marco's voice is so amazing. Wow
I watched the ending over... and over again. I love his "well alright!" 😯💖👌🏾✊🏾🤘🏾
@@HalfLifeSistah You should listen to The Islander (live at Tampere) or While your lips are still red (live at Wembley)!
@@user-mq4vr7gq3j or his version of High Hopes from end of an Era. Beautiful!
marco's voice is MAGIC
Fun fact. As good as she sounds in this show, on the night of this show she was fighting off the flu. However, this was one of the Arenas they've always dreamed of playing so she pushed forward.
And she was recovering from a cold, damn it.
I said this on another Nightwish reaction video: *This is what happens when classically trained musicians become metalheads.* It is spectacular. Both genres have power, energy, raw emotion, and (good) metal even has the sophistication that opera is known for. On the outside, these two genres seem incredibly dissimilar, yet they blend so amazingly well- especially when the storytelling aspect of opera is left in. Symphonic Metal, AKA Operatic Metal is one of my favorite genres, for sheer musicality!
6:50 Oh my god, that's the most beautiful singing I've ever heard! I'm glad that Tarja got your "OH WOW!"-Stamp... maaaaany times :)
Idk if anyone mentioned this but Tarja never auditioned for Nightwish. Tuomas knew her from school and asked her to sing on their demo (Nightwish at the time was acoustic mood music) and when she opened her mouth and started singing her voice was a total shock to the guys. Her voice is a big reason they started making heavier music as her voice didn't quite fit what Tuomas had in mind for Nightwish. :)
I was waiting with everything to see the reaction of Marco covering his face with his hand lol
All hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑 of Nightwish and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGERS!!!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍🤘
well tarja is the original vocalist from nightwish. perfect voice she got. absolutely gorgeous.
This is the time nightwish at its best
Tarja has been singing Epic songs for 10 years, ofc there will be many requests =)
I kinda want to go to a Nightwish concert with you guys now...
And for the love of God, don't play her an entire album. She may not survive the experience.
:D
: D
:D
:D
Truth. X,D
Tarja es una diosa
This performance gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.
Tarja, Tuomas and Emppu actually knowed each other from Kitee and were already a band.
Yes, knew
Thank you so much for introducing me to Nightwish...they're like OMG
Music to my ears!💖
My fav band of all time. You have to see them in concert!!
"THE PHARAOH SAILS TO ORION" Live version from Nightwish with Tarja please ❤
THE BEST: TARJA TURUNEN!
CHILLS ME, SO MUCH EMOTION IN THE VOICE OF THIS GREAT TALENTED WOMAN! 🔝🔝🔝❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
I LOVE watching you Sistah, you just straight up bleed emotion when you watch this stuff, it's beautiful
Mmmmwwwwaaahhh!😘😘😘💖
Tarja was, is and will remain an absolute Queen!
Without her in Nightwish for the first many years there would have been no Nightwish and there would have been no Symphonic Metal genre.
There may be others beside her but no one above her,- not even Floor,- and I´m a massive Floor kinda guy.
Tarja in her time reigned supreme.
Very well said. My thoughts exactly
Amen
Ulf Danielsen Actually the Symphonic Metal genre was already invented in the Netherlands early-mid nineties by a band called The Gathering with front singer Anneke van Giersbergen. Anneke is literally the godmother of all Symphonic metal bands female front singers that followed like Floor, Simone and Tarja. And Tuomas himself said that The Gathering was a major inspiration and influence on him to start Nightwish.
first sentence and last sentence: absolute agree. the middle , written as an fact, is your opinion. mine- for myself is different as voice, person and versitality floor scores her out in every Term. just like said, my opinion.
@@hansolo2121 The first symphonic metal band is indeed Therion since 1987, and I'm not sure there wasn't another band before them. Yet The Gathering were different as Anneke isn't really a lyrical soprano. In that sense the first lyrical soprano in Metal was indeed Tarja.
Hello from Finland. Thank's for the emotional moment. Crying here too. =) So so good. That was the last gig with Tarja, in Icehall Hartwall Arena Helsinki. Newer going to forget. Almost in video too, but they cut my part away...=D
This is one of my favorite Nightwish performances. It is very iconic. In addition, the parallel that is possible between the history of Nightwish and the story told by the musical is very interesting. Tarja would be Christine and Tuomas would be the Phantom. In the musical's history, the Phantom is in love with Christine. It is an unrequited and stormy love. In addition, the Phantom is heard through Christine when she sings his compositions. The story of Nightwish is marked by dramas and many say that Tuomas suffered from an unrequited love for Tarja. Tuomas used to say that Tarja was the voice that best expressed his feelings. The lyrics of songs in Tarja's day were often very confessional. Christine was the voice of the Phantom, while Tarja was the voice of Tuomas. In the musical, the Phantom disputes Cristine with Raoul. At Nightwish, Marcelo (Tarja's current husband) said that Tuomas disputed Tarja's love (read the answer he gave to question 36 of the fans). Nightwish's choice to cover The Phantom of the Opera, just the part where Christine and the Phantom sing together, seems to be a very interesting coincidence, or who knows, it might even be a choice made by the unconscious, if the situation is viewed from a psychoanalytic perspective.
I loved his face throughout the video, it just radiates love for Nightwish. Especially at 4:15, where he's like "You have no idea what you're getting yourself into". Thumbs up :)
You know what... SHE IS GETTING BETTER EVERYTIME SHE IS SINGING IT
she does...
Amo Tarja Turunen! Sua angelical voz faz me alçar vôos com meus pés fincados em terra...Perfomance e voz alucinante, extasiante, Uma cantora de outra dimensão!! Gratidão Finlândia por compartilhar essa Deusa Lendária com mundo, nos encantando a todos através de sua Lindíssima e inigualável voz....
Hi Souljahs! I had way TOO MUCH fun doing Nightwish, again. I live opera and she is exceptional! I have been sick, the past few days, but man, watching/ hearing this again is giving me a high!
Enjoy, my loves!
I want MORE Nightwish 😍🖤
Keep It Metal✊🏾🤘🏾
Sugahs & Sistahs, we need you to react to an emotional *EVANESCENCE* song - *Good enough* . We'll cry together!
(Link of the video-song below)

Get well soon.
@@ez0950 thank you, love😘
@@HalfLifeSistah The poet and the Pendulm ft floor live plz ;) ua-cam.com/video/iEzZRMthhXU/v-deo.html
Sistah - mind your glasses don't break from hearing Tarja unleash!
...and the best way to explore the third singer of Nightwish - Scaretale! Lets do it!
I say "Meadows of Heaven" for all she could give... bur "Scaretale" live has cool vocal acting from both Annette and Marco, so not a bad place to start. :)
Big G...best Nightwish albums are (for me) both with Anette - not even one bad song. But Floor is like non stop jackpot...
Speaking of Pink Floyd, nightwish also covered high hopes by Pink Floyd, their bassist Marco sang the whole thing.
I just subscribed to your channel love all your reactions!! Keep Nightwish reactions coming!!
Welcome aboard! ♥
Music can take you places nothing else can. Nightwish is one vehicle that does it.
this woman is sent straight from heaven
Great reaction, always love watching this performance!
I have to correct you on a couple of things though - Tarja didn't exactly audition for Nightwish, she and Tuomas and Emppu founded Nightwish, they knew each other somewhat and Tarja was basically the only singer in the town they lived in, so it was natural that they came together. Originally Tuomas' idea for the band was to be an accoustic folk band, however they quickly evolved into metal because Tarja's voice was so powerful. Also Phantom of the Opera was not on Angels Fall First, it was on Century Child, which was their fourth album - this was also the first album Marco was a part of, before that the bass player was Sami Vänskä who did not sing, so when Marco joined the band they were able to do a lot more harmonizing and more duets, also Tuomas didn't want to sing anymore, which he in fact did on Angels Fall First.
Well Tarja, Emppu and Tuomas were classmates :D
This is the Nightwish I fell in love with!!!!!
Don´t get me wrong, I love Anette and Floor of course, but it's nice to hear this song again and remember the old times...
Always great to watch her how she feels the music. I got goosebumps and teary eyes too with this song. That Tarja's ending high note is D6, which is quite brave trick to do for any soprano at LIVE recording gig, because chance of failure is pretty high. Marco sang his own solo number also in this concert; Pink Floyd's High Hopes. You may like to listen it too. It's beautiful song and great cover version.
I just wonder what will happen if you guys do the Poet and the Pendulum... Because even it's dark song it's so emotional too, has so beautiful orchestration, especially those violins at the ending part, Mother & Father. So beautiful melodies... I cry like a baby every time I listen to it, no matter if it's the album version with Anette or live with Floor. Also I can't wait you to react to the Greatest Show On Earth - so spectacular and epic show in Tampere, Finland 2015!
Agreed on all counts! I have a hunch "The Pendulum" is swinging closer. :)) I have seen it requested at every turn (by myself included ;)).
For a "feel-good cry-song" (if that makes sense), I would also stand by my earlier recommendation of "Ever Dream" (possibly with Tarja, but especially with Floor!).
Ha. Thanks for highlighting the part where marco covers his face when shes singing. Always makes me smile.
Its time for Within Temptation - Paradise ft Tarja! That way you will get to hear more of her voice while introducing her to the 2nd biggest female-fronted band :)
Agreed!
I have to agree 2 amazingly powerful voices
Here,here! Our solemn hour.
That song is a nice gateway to Within Temptation for sure! Sort of reminds me of Sancta Terra by Epica (with Floor) as a way to bridge to a different great band.
@@bararobberbaron859
I suggest Caged from Within Temptation, can't believe there are 0 reactions to this song..
Some live performances are SO good, they become pieces of musical history - this song being one of them, the other being Pink Floyd ‘Comfortably Numb’ live at the Pulse concert...
If you like Pink Floyd. Nightwish did a cover of Pink Floyds song High Hopes from this same concert. It is unbelievable. Maybe you could play both versions to see what Nightwish did to the song to make it their own. Before everybody goes nuts. I am not saying they did it better, just different. Hope you get feeling better..........
💀\,,/
I’m have to find this.
Tarja with Wayfarer and over the hills and far away or sleeping sun. SLEEPING SUN !!
Especially sleeping sun ♥️♥️♥️
Kuolema Tekee Taiteilija
Hope I spelt this one correctly.
Saw them live last saturday in this same arena. Still can't believe it. And it was a worldtour ending gig as well....
Me too! It was an amazing show!
@@leap.5950 Mieletön..
Listen to Meadows of Heaven for your first Nightwish song with Anette. That song makes me tear up every single time.
There is my man! How almost no one remembers or quotes "Meadows of Heaven", is beyond me. Is it because of it being a ballad? But what an epic build and outpouring of soul!
FULL FULL SUPPORT, and I do not often write in caps! That is the song to "rehabilitate" Anette, she was very good in what matched fer skill set, and here's the proof!
Hope you're feeling better. Wolf is a great guy. Many blessings to you guys!
ROFL @ the "pop" and "thoop" sound effects pulling out Sista's earbuds, hahaha!
This was my first time hearing this song as well....IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME
Nice introduction. One little thing though. Phantom of the opera was on their fourth album which was released in 2003.
They decided to do metal instead of acoustics because they felt like her voice was too big for the acoustic stuff :)
*"Phantom of the Opera" is on the album "Century Child", which was released in 2002.*
*"ONCE" , their last album with Tarja, came out in 2004.*
God I've forgotten how much I love these DVDs. Going to have to dig them out again.
I died laughing when Marko was making the mask face in the corner of the screen while Sistah was choked up. Hysterically brilliant editing, guys! I read somewhere that Sierra Boggess didn't hit that high note (when she played Christine Daae) live on stage. She had prerecorded it.
THE ISLANDER! for moar Marco amazing ESS!
The greatest show on earth, please !!!!!
I can't get over how she gets so totally lost when Nightwish hits her ears. But can't blame her and I listened to this band from the 90s as I am from Finland and started instantly when they started to listen to them.
Omg amazing I am getting into Nightwish more and more
You should do Floor and Marco doing Ave Maria
Do "Walking In The Air", Live 2001 (from wishes to eternity). Is beautiful!
Yaaay more Nightwish! \o/ Christmas came early! Youre pronouncing Tarja correctly too, very good job
This song is off of Century Child; Marco Hietela's first album with them. I'm glad you'll be doing The Poet and the Pendulum with Floor. Wolf I'm sure you have heard Annette's version. Floor brings it to another level.
Please check out The Greatest Show on Earth though! It's their 24 minute epic from Floor's album! It's sure to make both of you cry!
Dang it! How did I confuse it with Beauty and the Beasts 🤦♂️ thanks for the correction
Yes. Please do the Live version from Wembley Arena...
@@michaelvondrake7489 For Poet, yes. Greatest Show should be Tempere.
@@WolfKain Because here is the "classic" all-time duel between beauty and the beast! Must have been subconscious. :)
As a Christmas celebration you should try Marco and Floor singing live “Ave Maria”! So beautiful ! Keep Nightwish reactions coming please!! It’s been too long since GLS !
YES! Definitely!!!
Grat reaction. As much as I'd love to watch you listen more Floor, I'm also glad to bring Tarja for Sistah to compare.
Some 'fun' facts:
1) Floor actualy did this song twice (well several times) on Christmas metal symphony 2008 with Russel Allen and same gig 2013 with Joacim Cans. Sadly it was not officially filmed, but in your free time without camera you could try crowd camera version. They don't sound that bad.
2) If you wanna hear Floor and Tarja together on one stage, they actually did Over the Hills and Far Away together in 2013 in Belgium. Basicly to shut media up for trying to make some publicity out of NW changing singer again, and trying to inicite them agains each other, because they are friends since 2002 when Floor with her band After Forever was NW's warm-up band. Media stopped after that gig. Sadly it is also crowd camera only, but it is interesting to see both of them together. (BTW Sadly sound technician on that show was 4ss#0le)
Next please some more Floor: NW - Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembey 2015
(originally sang in studio album by Anette, but don't bother with her - definitely not live. She was good on studio albums, but live... that is another story)
I’m not a vocal coach and can’t sing worth a d*mn but I can appreciate how insanely well this piece was executed and the extreme skill this must take, I was absolutely dumbfounded
I saw The Phantom of the Opera in NY in the early 90s...I was like 12-13 and my parents took me...mind blown...so damn cool...
Stunned! Love that visceral reaction. You're the real deal, dear.
Tarja - Ave Maria Paolo Tosti. In this song, Tarja sings in her Classical mode, you must react to this
Oh this was totally worth the wait!! But you have GOT to check out Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth (Live Tampere 2015) --- the sheer beauty of that song will have you in tears on top of Floor and Marcos amazing voices. Pleaaaaase! It'd be a wonderful Christmas present :)
I hear that one is amazing too, is suggested everywhere.
@@themplar The "Holy Trinity" of NIGHTWISH epics: "Ghost Love Score" (checked in spades); "The Poet and the Pendulum" (supposedly coming, omg); "The Greatest Show on Earth" (inevitable, nobody has withstood the fan pressure, and all are better for it!). And afterwards - 8 more albums of NIGHTWISH awesomeness. The Sistah is on to something. :))
I love Nightwish❤❤❤
Kiss from Paris💋
You guys make me smile like no other on UA-cam. I love you.
That zoom in was so funny
Another great song and reaction, So sweet Sistah and i love your sweater in this one. The ear pops are so funny, please keep them going. Love the edits Wolf!
@@HalfLifeSistah I have not been able to catch you on Twitch, I need to memorize your schedule.
I'm a new to this channel and I love her reaction to Nightwish, that was great to see
you are sooo adorable for crying out of cheer joy
Finally another nightwish reaction from you guys(wolf didn't cry this time) 😁😁 I'll be waiting for more nightwish from you, love you both, and your reactions, keep it that way, don't ever change 😊
Thank you and we love you!😄🤗😘💖✊🏾🤘🏾
if you wish to find things that make you cry, i believe that i know a guitar solo that will do that. Pink Floyd have a song called 'A Great Day For Freedom'. the guitar solo at the end of that makes me cry.
Ayyy llore con ella.. emocionante..amo a Tarja desde hace muchos años.. y también está cantando con marko en una gira.. y no puedo ir😢 espero más reacciones❤ saludos desde Argentina. Cynchu
Thank u for giving us this gift. You truly are loveable people
Hah such an awesome present for my B-Day!!! :D \m/ luv ya guys!
Happy Day of Birth, Sunshine! :-** (((hugs)))
Much love to you :) Be well ♥
Keep it Metal \../
@@HalfLifeSistah Thank you so much, gorgeous!!!! Wish you a MAGICAL December!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Please do Ever Dream from End of an Era! I’m sure you’ll both love it.
Oh yes, that is so beautiful!
Yes please. I love Marco's vocals in the live version. Wacken 2013
Yeah. Floor also nails that one.
@@silvadamico Only Tarja can truly render songs like Everdream and Sleeping Sun. Floor's version isn't terrible but she loses a lot of the more subtle emotions in the song with her more aggressive style. Tarja is more flexible. Tarja can be powerful as is evident in this song, but she can also be more delicate too and not lose the more subtle emotional nuances in songs like Everdream and Sleeping Sun the way Floor often does with her much more aggressive approach. Not everything should be sung as if it were a rock anthem.
@@stefanl5183 i mean agree to disagree, right? I feel that she brought a New energy to that song but i understand that is not everybody's taste.
beautyful reaction.
beauty song thanks
The lady's reaction is priceless. I know i know, Tarja also blew my mind when i first heard Nightwish back in 2000, I've been a hardcore Tarja fan (Tarjaholic) ever since 😎🤘
Epica - Consign to Oblivion live!!!
If Wolf reallly wants to showcase Marco's singing he should show you Marco and Floor singing Ave Maria. It's hella beautiful.
This performance in Wacken 2013 gets better and better each time I watch it.
love ur reaction, beautiful...
I implore you to make Nightwish - The poet and the pendulum live at Wembley please.
I love your reacts, sistah is an angel.
Please people help me for they seing this
If you want to heart the softer side of marko’s voice You should watch While Your Lips are still Red live @ Wembley.
I second this!
Or the islander!
And the Islander live from Tampere
You know what? I love the slow pace your review is taking. I don't live and breath the 60/24/7 news cycle that's pushed on us. (Gently but firmly.) Thank you for leaving room for accidental thunks and some emotions. -- In case Nightwish Ann follows me here, give her my best regards. She's okay. (Who am I to say anything about that???)
OMG I LOVE THIS WOMAN CRYING!!!! I LOVE HER!!! LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!
OH my god!!! great reaction!! This maybe sounds bad haha but i love when you start crying xD
Tarja is a killer. 🤩 She almost outdid herself here in this epic performance. 🙏 She’s still the queen of Nightwish and will always be. Amen. 🙏 ❤️🕺🥂👍
ahh... another one who is trapt in the past.. you know that she had her own career (going forward and not be keept in the past !)
good for her, love her new songs (had a family (son) and a happy life after NW, so all is good now) and Anette too
@@AntaryDraconis I’m not trapped in the past fore sure but for me the true NW-spirit died when she left. And yes, she does great as solo.
You absolutely need to see them live.
Sistah, i do hope yo do not suffer any ill effects from these videos., and those are tears of joy.. i too had a serious thing for Tarja in her nightwish years , so much so that my girlfriend at the time accused me of being obsessed with her. so i can appreciate her response,but i never went into minor convulsions.. on a lighter note check out her rendition of into the sun, sleeping sun and swanheart. you will be sure to get a hearty reaction
Tarja is the most beautiful and perfect singer of world.....
You have that sweater game down. Nailed it. Nice react too, my favorite band.
Lol, I had to heart your comment. Thanks, love ^_^ I want more sweaters, like this :(
And I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction ;) ♥
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING! So amazing!
I love this song tons! Hey my friends! Great job as always love ya!
This song was on their 4th album, Century Child :D
Awesome react. The Rime of ancient mariner by Iron Maiden. Great song.
Love the way you edit your reaction videos. Specially to an amazing song. Keep up! Straight from Brazil ;)
I know I’m 7 months late commenting on this video, but if an artist brings you to tears you know they did their job ❤️
I would’ve killed to see Nightwish with Tarja. I got my dad hooked on them back in 2004, but never saw them live.
