I'm kinda addicted to watching reactions to this song. This is one of my favorites just because of this guy's not afraid to stop the song and appreciate all the little shit.
This is what happens when a 6'1" classically trained Amazon soprano with pipes plated in gold decides to show you what she's got....oh, no biggie, let me just humble and thoroughly shake 40,000 people to the core in a single instant. That's not a gift...it's a weapon.
4:02 and he already goes "bro, the range in her voice!" and i'm like "bro, you really don't know what's coming at you..." I enjoyed your reaction. Floor is a gift !
Sotiris Choutos I know! Been listening to Nightwish since I was 8 and Tarja Turunen is my top idol singer! 😍 She has the voice of an angel with the strength and presence of a war goddess!
@@johnowen9658 Same thing. watched the original vid.. maybe 20 times today.. and perhaps 10 reaction vids. alex hefner (and his mom) was my fave so far)
I'm addicted to Ghost Love Score reactions apparently. UA-cam keeps suggesting them and I keep watching them and you my friend, did not disappoint. I absolutely loved how you had to watch that ending 4 times! That ending is something else.
Tobias Bousch It truly is. They’ve now come an anniversary album and have been touring with it since March. Although they were sneaky and didn’t put Come Cover Me on it, and now don’t have it on fucking Spotify REEE 😂
They’re now bigger than they were when they had Tarja, which is saying something. They had to move venues in London in 2015, to Wembley Arena. I went to see them live at Wembley almost two weeks ago, they were fantastic.
Don't kick yourself too hard. Tarja was the original, and created a lot of the mystique of the Nightwish sound. I was turned off by Anette...the pop voice didn't cut it...its seemed as though the magic was gone. When I heard they hired Floor, I immediately came back. If you had ever heard Floor before, you would have know she was the perfect singer for Nightwish. Glad to have you back in the fold again.
Floor is an expert at ambushing the uninitiated. She comes in at a higher skill level than most other singers, and you think you know what you're in for. But she's only at 20%, and slowly unveils all of the weapons in her arsenal until she's ready to deliver the deathblow. Drops my jaw every time.
I see you going around to different Ghost Love Score reactions posting this comment :P I think just like me, Ghost Love Score reaction videos is your kink :P
@@stefinatorr Funny thing is, this *has* to be one of the most reacted/reviewed songs lately! There are just TONS of them. This particular performance is 5+ years old, so why now...who knows??? But it's GREAT. I think I've seen most of them myself as well.
Good thing you couldn't see me.I fell in love as soon as her mouth opened and the first words came out of her mouth. I am 52,I have been listening to metal most of my life,no other singer,male or female has made me want to meet them or go to a concert.I like live music but I hate being in crowds.I would put up with the crowd to see her and the band. To hear her voice live could be a religious experience.
Same with Alex, the HipHopHead reacting to metal. His face.. His face looked like he'd seen an angel, he could hear wedding bells ring, he was planning to have kids with her and grow old together after the first 2 notes :D
Holy f'ing shitballs !! I have never heard of this band before now, but I think I might have witnessed Xena blessed with the voice of a Goddess. Just bought the album. I believe I have been Floorgasmed o_O
Welcome to the Nightwish family! The Once album that this is off has their first vocalist, Tarja Turunen, in case it seems a little jarring. That was the last one that she did with the band, and the next two albums afterwards (Dark Passion Play - which The Poet and the Pendulum is off, I can see people begging Preston to listen to that in the comments - and Imaginaerum) have Anette Olzon on the mic. Floor has only been with the band from 2013, and only has, at present, one album with her on vocals - Endless Forms Most Beautiful. On tour though, they do some of the older stuff - some of which, before Wembley, hadn't been done in ten years. Enjoy your journey through the discography, if you decide to take it. It's a hell of a ride.
Yeah... that was basically my response when I discovered Nightwish a few months ago. Now I have ALL their albums! Another operatic/symphonic metal band to check out is EPICA. Do it. Do it now.
@@KaiHarper89 I bought the "Showtime, Storytime" album because I kinda want to hear this performance solidly for the next 3 weeks. I'm not sure that a studio album could be better than this, but give me time dude ! I'll be working on it :)
@@gh8447 Originally, the first thought in my head was that it reminded me of Within Temptation, who I also love. I'll be looking up Epica soon. Only so many hours in the day man ! ;)
the band has so many issues , their biggest mistake was lettin anette go , i mean after tarja people put it down to her being a diva , too many questions now , well see if floor leaves lol
lol i've watched this reaction a few times now and i always thought he said "Kevin felt that shit" and i'm just sitting here like who the fuck is Kevin? xD
God always gives the talent -- it's up to us on how to use it. In this case, I think that Floor chose to give everybody Floorgasms, lol. Floor's talent is so raw, so natural, that it is like a rare wine: It can only get better with age -- and that's saying something. :)
When I first saw this performance, I actually brought the complete video back several times. I knew the song from when Tarja was still in the band. That vocal exhibition in the end was not there. A million details about the vocals were not there before, that's all Floor. She made a real difference to how the song feels.
@@flashpeter625 Ghost Love Score was not my first Nightwish music experience. Phantom of the Opera live with Tarja and Marco WAS my introduction to Nightwish. I came VERY late to the party, but after hearing Tarja and Marco kill Phantom, I was immediately a new Nightwish fan. Then I heard that Tarja had been fired way back in 2005. I thought, how the Hell do you replace a singer with the operatic range of Tarja Turunen? Then I discovered Ghost Love Score live at Wacken and witnessed the power and the glory that is Nightwish now fronted by Floor Jansen. And I realized THAT is PRECISELY how you replace a vocalist as seemingly irreplaceable as Tarja Turunen: You get someone who is EVEN BETTER. You get Floor Jansen. And, by doing so, you give your devoted followers a Floorgasm, night after night after night. AND, better still? You get hundreds if not thousands of brand new Nightwish fanatics who hear THIS song, Ghost Love Score, live at Wacken, with Floor Jansen, and become INSTANT fans of this amazing band. I think KTF should also react to another video that I discovered not too long after hearing this Wacken performance of this song. There is a gentleman on UA-cam who put together an excellent version of Ghost Love Score live that features BOTH Tarja AND Floor singing the song. And what I discovered right away was how vastly superior Floor Jansen's version is when compared side by side with Tarja's. Floor ABSOLUTELY KILLS IT and Tarja's version in comparison looks weak and anemic, utterly devoid of any power or majesty. Floor not only kills it, she has vastly superior command of the stage, power and majesty to spare, AND she has the entire massive Wacken crowd eating right out of her hand AND she totally gives the band ALL the accolades it deserves right after she just utterly killed the ending vocal, whereas Tarja just finished singing and abruptly walked off-stage, as though she just could not possibly be bothered to acknowledge the frenzied adoring throngs of people OR her killer band. And it became instantly apparent that Floor Jansen, the stunningly beautiful, astoundingly vocally gifted singer from Holland/the Netherlands, rescued the Finnish symphonic metal titans that are Nightwish. (Most of my own personal family heritage is Dutch, so I might be a little biased towards Floor because of that.)
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish! :D Your face when Floor started singing was priceless, as was the incredulous awe later on. Don't worry, she does that to everyone, everyone falls instantly in love. :D And yeah, this wasn't even her really trying to push her limits. She has nearly four-octave range, incredible control and musicality, and she can do anything from growls to operatic stuff. Plus the stage presence of a valkyrie queen, obviously. Nightwish has been around since '96 when they started out in a small town in Finland, and they've been through three lead vocalists. Floor Jansen has been with them since 2012 and many fans consider her the best of the three though each one has their own fans. They're god-tier symphonic metal, basically, there is no one who can truly match them. Their keyboardist and primary songwriter Tuomas Holopainen is a genuine musical genius and a composer his idol Hans Zimmer now considers an equal. Anyway! Other song suggestions: Storytime, Song of Myself and Romanticide from this same show (live at Wacken 2013), Élan official music video, The Poet and the Pendulum live, The Greatest Show On Earth live (it's 20 minutes long but worth every second!).
Those suggestions.. damn son, Storytime? Elan!? really now, Elan? give the original Nightwish some love bro. It was their best period until olzon came to the band. I love floor since invisible circles era but she's not NW's signature voice neither nightwish are the band they used to be even if they got "bigger" and more pop-ular, it's just a tuomas'es band now. For example empuu nowadays seems like a session musician totally in the background music-wise. I miss the days with the circle pits and full on metal at their shows, the softer and cheesier music in the last non-Tarja albums drive me away making Epica their trully heirs who still stand on their ground getting better and better, just my taste and opinion Come on really now.. Elan?!?! you're trolling right? of all the back catalogue of their glorious career you suggested storytime and Elan?! xD
Emma quirke,did you get the ticket only to be told that the lead singer had left?what were you expecting?then to realise that you probably witnessed one of the greatest concerts ever.i’ve seen pink Floyd at Wembley which was mind blowing.but I wish I had been there with you.
@@stephendicks3239 Not Emma, but I was at Wacken '13 - I bought my ticket knowing nightwish was going to be there, but I was also at the infamous Denver show where Annette got sick the year before and then fired. This whole show was epic, the whole weekend was awesome, really no downsides.
That last note is called a Floorgasm. I have seen where other people have given you some background information. They are considered a symphonic power metal band. They have been around for 20+ years. They come from Finland. The keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their songs. They have had 3 singers. #1 was Tarja Turunen. She was with them until 2005. After they fired her(long story, different versions) they hired #2 Anette Olzon. She was with them until mid tour 2012 when they let her go (another long story). Then they hired #3 and current singer Floor Jansen. The bassist is Marco who also does vocals. The guitar player(one of the originals) is Emppu. The first drummer's name is Jukka. He had to quit touring due to health reasons in 2015. He is in this video and he is still with the band as the CEO of their company. Jukka got his good friend Kai Hahto from the band Wintersun to play the drums and he is still with Nightwish. Back when Floor became a member of the band Troy Donockley came on board. He is a multi instrumentalist and does vocals. This is the background of the band members and what they do. This song is from the concert at Wacken 2013. Any song from this concert is great. The other live performances are the End of an Era concert, live at Wembley Arena concert, and live at Tampere concert. There are other live ones but these are the best ones. Welcome to the Nightwish community. I am going to warn you that Nightwish fans are die hard. I look forward to going on this Nightwish journey with you. I am done babbling. I hope this helped............. :-) New subscriber!
No, I saw them in Helsinki last saturday, same venue where the End of era was. Gladly this wasn’t end of any era ;). It was last concert of Decades tour. No we just have to wait for a new album.
Funny enough, I'm becoming an addict to Jukka and his drumming -- it's complex yet addicting. I totally get the addiction to singing along with Floor, lol!
lol Remember when you could barely find a Nightwish video on UA-cam, official or not? I do. And now I’ve been watching these reaction-vids for months, Floor continuously recruiting new fans time and time again... I’ve seen them live in multiple countries dating back to the Tarja day’s and it’s glorious to see how they’re gaining so much more momentum and fame with each passing day. Welcome to the family! 🤘🏻😌
some people criticize reaction channels, but they are one of the best ways to raise awareness for bands and plus how do you not enjoy watching people enjoy your favorite music. so many people in the comments alone discovering Nightwish and in some cases rediscovering. lol
I'm totally addicted to watching these reaction videos of Nightwish with Floor, lol. You're right - this is so wonderful to see more and more people discovering them. And they all react the same way I did when I first heard them - pure and utter awe. Makes me so happy.
Thanks for adopting me. I new only of NightWish from Tarja and the track Nemo. Then I got introduced to Floor Jansen through Epica Sancta Terra ft Floor live Retrospective which is still today my favorite live performance from Floor and that's saying something.
Floor Jansen makes it look easy, but what she does in this song is very difficult. It looks effortless because she's damn good, that's all. She has been singing since she was 18 and she's a vocal coach, so she has perfect control of her breathing, the notes, the body position... her technique is flawless and she can sing literally anything she wants, metal, rock, pop, opera...
God I wish Floor would see this reaction... she would be so flattered when you repeat it and say..heaven felt that shit😂 now she's from my country..but I need to make sure she will see this reaction!💯
Right? I just recently heard/read something about Floor being initially intimidated and nervous about filling the shoes of the great Tarja. She was actually afraid of being rejected by the fans somehow, in a similar fashion to how they did not warm up to Ana (sp?). Isn't it funny how the most amazing talents seem to harbor the most insecurity and self-doubt, meanwhile, hacks and frauds are running around so full of themselves.
@@BlackieNuff That's because people with insecurities and self doubt have a natural drive to constantly better themselves. Prideful people with too much self confidence generally dont.
@ Tino Nurmi Right? Prideful people are too content in their own hubris to ever try to be better, perfectly satisfied to simmer in mediocrity, passing it off as competence, experience, or skill. Meanwhile, insecure people never feel they achieve or are "enough" and keep striving to improve.
Classic? Opera? Metal? I don't know what that was, but it was epic. I like how they gave each member a time to shine and her voice is insane. Shes like a dark super women.
Chris Schilling When your skin crawls, it's usually considered a bad thing, because most of the time one's skin crawls out of fear, terror, or just generally being freaked out OR creeped out. Not really words I would choose to describe my own feelings every time I hear this Masterful, majestic song.☺ But, my hair standing up and getting goose bumps from the epic, sonic category 5 hurricane that is Nightwish featuring the mind blowing Floor Jansen and those astonishing epic vocal Floorgasms? Yeah, my friend, THAT I can TOTALLY relate to.☺
It is easy to see how people can fall in love with a voice! Floor is a goddess. Check out 'Romanticide' live from Wacken! Just a "blow your hair back" performance!! Love your reaction, Preston!
There's also so much good material on :The Holographic Principle" too ... (and the EP of omitted material, "The Solace System"): "Beyond the Matrix" & "Universal Death Squad" and the title track are phenomenal examples of symphonic metal ...
Well, it's not THAT hard to not know them when you've not already been into Metal before 😉 oh and I can really recommend the whole Nightwish Concert from Wacken 2013, it's heavenly bliss! (But if you lack the time, at least listen to Ever Dream)
Preston...NEVER apologize for going back and listening, that’s why I LOVE your channel! You actually appreciate the music. You are so genuine and your excitement for music is contagious! Much love to my KTF family💜✌🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥💜
Everyone would probably forget about the football game if Nightwish played at half time. I mean there would be so many Floorgasms not one would be able to focus on the second half.
That’s another one fallen under their spell. There were 82 thousand people in that crowd and she had every one of them in the palm of her hand. The Greatest show on earth live @ Tampere, Nightwish’s 21 minute masterpiece.
I'll paraphrase Peter B.: In the beginning, God created music, and saw it was good. Then God created metal, and saw it was better. Then God created women metal singers, and saw that it was great. Then God created Floor Jansen, metal female vocalist perfection, and dropped the mic.
It's my new opinion that Floor Jansen is now the greatest singer on the planet and I say that because of her mastery of so many genres and her incredible vocal range and her beautiful vibrato.
I'm 61 years old and I enjoy ALL kinds of music, but only few Reactioneers(?). You are my favorite!!!! Young man, I love watching you feel the voices, the sounds, and magic, which is the music!! Goosebumps forever!
Welcome to the Nightwish Universe. They do not know how to put on a bad performance. Type in Nightwish live... Pick a song and enjoy. That is how it is. You load up this concert "wacken 2013" Wembley, Tampere, any of them. Be ready, An army of followers will click this video. They will spout out songs. Trust they are all good. You have only seen one facet to a multi faceted diamond here. They have so much to bring to the table. Enjoy them, explore them. You will find that most other things will kind of be boring to watch after a while.
@@petethorley5998 this is very true. Nightwish has been my gateway drug into metal (Nemo, specifically). Many of the other bands I started listening to back then I don't really follow any more these days, but I'll be damned if I'm not excited as a little kid each time I hear Nightwish are producing a new album ...
That was fun. Dude. I gotta say I've seen probably 30 reactions to this song and you're the only one to give any credit to her return to the stage. With the hair flip and that jab she throws. That's SO SO SO commanding. Such a power move. Nice to see someone finally address it.
What makes this even more impressively vocally is that this song is the song they end their shows with. So this is her voice after 2+ hours of performing. She's an absolute goddess, and the band is musically and technically amazing. Check out their song "The Poet and the Pendulum" live at Wembley to be amazed again.
Not true, they usually ended their shows with Last Ride of the Day. And so they did on this Wacken 2013 concert. Now they do it with Greatest Show on Earth a lot.
Nightwish press statement / July 15th, 2019 (Photo credits: Timo Isoaho) Nightwish has begun working on their 9th studio album, set to be released during spring 2020. Below you will find a statement from Jukka Nevalainen, who`s been the drummer in the band since their 1997 debut album “Angels Fall First”: “It has now been five years since my difficult decision, due to severe insomnia, to step aside from the Vehicle of Spirit of Nightwish. This included the previous studio album and the tours which followed. As I then expected, it turned out to be the right thing to do. These days I'm doing fantastic, and hardly ever need to deal with any sleeping issues. It also dawned on me that having more time to merely focus on band - related things happening behind the curtains made all the difference. Having said this, I have decided not to push my luck by returning to the band. My dear pal Kai Hahto will take my place as a full-time member of the band. I will continue to take care of the band`s businesses in the background, and I`m very much looking forward to what other adventures life has to offer! My sincere thank you`s for the band and the fans for the glorious time we shared!“ Jukka Jukka is the drummer in this video, Kai is the drummer in "Poet and the Pendelum"
You've just opened pandora's box bro. Nightwish fans are hardcore. They visit every reactor to educate and recommend relentlessly and passionately. Nightwish is on their 3rd singer (Floor Jansen - pronounced Yansin), who you just watched. She literally saved the band when their second singer, Annette Olzon, had to drop out mid tour. The band had to volunteer 2 female singers from the other band Kamelot who they were touring with just to do the show (not the one you watched, but one 8 months earlier). After that show, they called up Floor and asked if she'd be able to fill in for the rest of the tour. She accepted but had only 48 hours to learn their set list. Not only did she learn the lyrics and timing of the verses/ect, she sang that shit so well, everyone was dumbfounded. She helped them finish off the tour and they all decided she should be the new singer for good. Their first singer, Tarja Turunen ("Tar-ya"), had a very opratic vocal style (even more than iron maiden) , which at the time they formed was uncommon. But fans got attached to her. After she got married and had kids, she developed a lot of creative differences with the band to the point they decided to part ways. That's when they hired on Annette. But she didn't sing opratic, she was much more poppy. She couldn't do most of Tarja's songs and she was quite horrible live (they hardly ever released live performances with her because she just didn't cut it). Most fans dropped off when Annette joined. But when Floor came on, she was able not only to sing both Tarja and Annette songs, but she does it significantly better than both of them. Old skewl fans came back for Floor. The founder and main composer of 95% of all the music and lyrics is the keyboardist, Toumas Holopainen ("Too-moss"). Much of what he writes is very personal, very theatrical, and very poetic. Mostly it is just happened to turn out that way because of Tarja's opratic vocal style (which he didn't plan, it was just discovered).
The fans left because they totally blind sided Tarja out of the band. There is no way to sugar coat that shit into something even closely related to acceptable behavior. They lost me there... That was just brutal. After a gig they just handed her a letter and that was it. Floor is very good though, Anette could not hold a candle to the other two and that just added to their ugliness. It has been so many years now that it is time to forgive and forget, but that shit in 2006 was not cool in any way or shape. Tarja had a darker sound to her vocals that still resonates really hard. Floor has a more clear sound. Both are sopranos and so was Anette, but she didn't have the skill to do this. You should check something with Tarja as well... As in 2006 or older.
@@timometsanoja9666 excelent put, some songs still match Tarja's voice better. i really can't choose, some songs i love Floor over Tarja, some i love Tarja over Floor.
@@atlanteean well, maybe I may not be able to forget this, but forgiveness time is here. Music goes on. It was 12 years ago that they did this, Floor Jansen has been the lead vocalist for 6 years now... I would love to see Nightwish with both Tarja and Floor on stage belting out some of the old ones. That would be extremely nice to see, but I don't see this happening. Too much bad water has been spilled over here. But it would be really nice to see that. And we can always dream.
I never saw them live with Tarja but I did see them with Annette. The second time I saw them was actually when Annette canceled in Denver (was hospitalized) and I got to see Amaranthe's singer and The Agonists lead singers sing (they were touring with them through Kamelot) and the show was actually phenomenal. The guys in the band are so talented and with the other singers stepping in it actually was one of my favorite live concerts. They are just oozing talent. They asked us if we wanted our money back or if we wanted them to go on with the show the best they could. As we Nightwish fans are die hards of course we voted to go on with the show. lol
Congrats for your first floorgasm. Floor Jansen provokes intense goosebumps. She once cried while singing this song in Chile. She said this is her favorite Nightwish song
Tuomas holopainen is the song writer and maestro of nightwish. He is also the founder and leader of the group. He is the Keyboard player....but yes.... Floor Jansen brought her own style that just completes the band to a height that I don't think they will ever reach again.
Gaga is a phenomenal singer. She never do lip sync or playbacks. Just because you might not like her music or her voice, does not make her a bad singer/vocalist. She is an extremely good singer. Just as Floor is^^
honestly all of those singers can go soak for either being not very nice people or not very good singers but gaga not so much after hearing her do the sound of music medley, and how friendly and loving she was towards Julie Andrews asking her permission and then ther help with singing it. anything Julie Andrews sang in her time is so dificult to replicate well and GaGa did an amazing job, i would also love to hear floor sing that medley as im sure she would kill it too.
You need to go to Europe on their concerts, in US the venues are small and there are restrictions on fireworks and all, but in Europe they go big, with all the bells and whistles and fireworks. And indeed, check also their other songs like Romanticide (heavier song), or Poet And The Pendulum (amazing), or The Greatest Show On Earth and much more. Nightwish is unique and Floor is just amazing.
Absolutely. Europe does well by them. It's the same with productions like Babymetal. They sell out 100,000 + "seat" venues on a regular basis yet they get booked in second or third tier venues in the US. It's a real shame.
@QueenBee 1980 In that case, if you have a chance, try to also go on Rammstein shows, those are absolutely amazing as well :) @Dyan Hogue True enough, which is sad since people will miss so much this way. I guess on one hand they're afraid that there won't be enough audience for a big venue, but on other hand they need to do better marketing, plus not to underestimate people - people know way more about various bands then these organisers think, thanks to the Internet.
Dont think i have ever heard a live performance executed in perfection like this! it's a once in a century performance. This is my favourite song of all time hands down. Heard this performance over a 100 times and each time i cant hold back the tears, thats how powerful this is to me. Floor Jansen is unreal.
Here's a little list of songs of theirs you will probably appreciate; Bare Grace Misery, Beauty and the Beast, Bless the child, Come Cover me, Crimson Tide, Crownless, Dark Chest of Wonders, Dead Boy's Poem, Dead to the World, Deep Silent Complete, Elvenpath, End of All hope, Ever Dream, Fantasmic, Feel for You, Forever Yours, Gethsemane, Ghost Love Score, Lagoon, Moondance, Nemo, Ocean Soul, Romanticide, Sacrament of Wilderness, She is my Sin, Slaying the Dreamer, Sleeping Sun, Sleepwalker, Stargazers, Swanheart, The Greatest Show on Earth, The Kinslayer, The Phantom of the Opera, The Riddler, Two for Tragedy, Walking in the Air, Wanderlust and Wish I had an Angel
She is a beast... And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Every time she hits those choruses and high notes, a tear comes to my eye. Every damn time!!! And I just discovered them within the last couple of weeks.
Nightwish has an incredible range of musical skills (all members) and they know how to combine it with a great show.. and is arguably one of the best bands ever
I don't know how it started and why so many people are making reaction vids to Nightwish but that's really cool to see a great band less underrated! And it's great to see people giving a try to music genres they don't usually listen to, keep it open-minded!!
OMG real?! Please go looking for the 20 years of music they have, and please, look for the others Finnish metal bands. You wont regret. Wintersun, Sonata Arctica, Blind Guardian, And so hundreads.
Sometimes they come; its usually smaller venues tho. I went to a concert they did in 2015; and damn, I didn't think anybody could do the Tarja songs quite right; and then Floor pulled off some of the hardest songs in their discography; it did not disappoint.
I saw them in like the seediest, crappiest hole in the wall venue in Chicago in 2012, like 5 days before Anette quit. It was...… a performance not worthy of Nightwish, to say the least. At least their show wasn't sold out though! And they played Over the Hills and Far Away, which was neat!
Saw them in Worcester a year or two back, killer performance, but not actually a great concert for me. They had a highly-produced movie projected behind them and played the setlist as fast as they could with no real breaks. I felt that the movie completely broke the connection with the crowd. (Also too loud of course so I couldn't really hear enough of the musicianship, but what concert isn't.) They didn't do an encore because Floor had a baby, which is totally understandable, but I would have preferred maybe one less song and a brief pause to build tension for the last song and get the audience excited and feel satisfied. But the main issue is I was there for the band, not the movie.
Lol, Evanescence. Nightwish is caviar with white truffle and champagne. Evanescene is a Mc Donalds cheeseburger with a coke. But that's okay, sometimes you wanna have just that.
I don't know why we're shitting on Evanescence. Nightwish . . . usually has better writing? But it's going on a grander scale of ethereal sound. That said when it comes to vocalists? Amy Lee is probably better than Floor. Amy does have better pitch and more seamlessly can string sustained mid-ranged belts with or without mix and with a good control of her vibrato where as Floor's vibrato is a bit shaky and sometimes disconnects. Amy would also probably have better skill as an opera singer given how well she rounds her notes and manages to project open vowels with a lot more resonance? Where as Floor despite being a vocal teacher doesn't seem to have much knowledge or even confidence in her semi-operatic areas given how thin and unrounded they can be.
@@iTeacupPanda Maybe we shouldn't compare them, like Preston said. Evanescence is more a goth flavoured alternative rock/new metal - thing. Reminds me more of Linkin Park, than european symphonic bands. Thei're good in what they are doing. Nightwish should be compared to Epica, Within Temptation and stuff like that. I don't know if Amy is a better vocalist. She has a great voice obviously, but to me it seems that she doesn't show such a wide range with Evanescence. Maybe that's just me. But maybe she is overqualified for a band like Evanescence.
@@wolfgangengel4835 We definitely shouldn't compare, given while they're of a complimenting genre or style it's not the same or really TRYING to be that. I get what you're saying on the wide range thing, but if you think about it . . . it's because Amy Lee already puts a lot of different vocal stylings and techniques in what is already identified as her voice. She has managed to fit lyrical classical styles with sorrowful ballads, power ballads, soft rock, alternative , etc. In one style / sound people identify as hers.
"Heaven felt that shit bro" LMAO i don't think anything can prepare him for it, but we've been equipping him with experience, so at least he''ll come out in one piece :P and if you know him at all, that's exactly why he will react to it
floor is the perfection of human evolution. she can sing, she can dance, she can growl and she is beauty as f***. saw them live a month ago in berlin. it was awsome. great rection, best i saw in a while.
Every reaction I have seen for this masterwork is the same. A epiphany. That look of almost religious awe, every time I hear Floors' magic I almost weep
I'm so glad you liked this! For a brief history lesson on Nightwish: Nightwish is a symphonic metal band, and easily the most successful one (but there are a few others that are very successful too like Within Temptation and Epica). NIghtwish formed in 1996. They had three lead singers over the years. Their first singer (Tarja Turunen) was the singer in five of their albums. Their second singer is Anette Olzon and they recorded 2 albums with her. And their current singer (the one you just saw) is Floor Jansen and she has been in one album so far. All of their singers have pretty different styles, but I think that would be cool if you can discover the sounds for yourself. A great song to react to from their first singer (Tarja Turunen) is Nightwish - The Phantom of the Opera (make sure you do the live version with over 50 million views) A great song to react to from their second singer (Anette Olzon) is Nightwish - Scaretale Official Live And for another song with Floor Jansen (the current singer): Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley The first time I heard this, I also kept playing the ending over and over lol. It's so damn crazy
Well technically both groups were started around the same time, just that Evanescence didn't release anythign of note for years and were very local at first, in the timeframe Nightwish released several albums and kickstarted the genre. And obviously Eva started out as christian rockband and didn't make the shift towards goth rock till years later.
@@TerranigmaQuintet Nightwish is it's own category though really as they are a Symphonic Progressive Metal Band that started out with an Operatic Vocalist. Evanescence did not take that approach, nor have they ventured into the symphonic route like Nightwish, nor the Operatic route. When Nightwish came around nothing like it had ever been tried in the Music scene yet.
I saw lots of GLS reactions, but I keep coming back to this one. Love it. A musiclover reacting to unheard songs, not a "vocalcoach", not a "musician" knowing everything better, and most important noone with patreon asking me for 25 bucks to keep saying "oh wow" during a 10 minute video. This is genuine, I love it!
YES. I saw them in Mobile Alabama at the Saenger, drove from Louisiana for it, and the place wasn't even filled. They fill entire damn stadiums in Europe. "Travesty" isn't even close!
James LeMaire I was there! They filled the venue in Birmingham but yeah there was hardly any ppl in mobile. I did manage to get the set list from the stage and a pic from Marco.
I'm so glad it's that way, so American fans can enjoy them closer, plus Nightwish are the most loyal and spend tons of money in merchandise when they tour.
@@Justin-nq6kf I`ve only heard Awakening and was not too impressed. They are obviously very good musicians, but it felt like they were playing fast for the sake of playing fast, much like Dragonforce. I´m not saying it was bad, just lacked a little subtlety.
@@Justin-nq6kf Maybe subtlety is the wrong word. I just think that sometimes they should have slowed down a little (the drummer in particular). Some parts felt like a race, where they try to outperform each other. Just my personal impression. Like I said, they`re not bad, just not for me.
Floorgasm achieved. 😂😂 I think we have a new Nightwish fan. They have a wide variety of songs from very heavy to this epic ballad you just watched. Heavier stuff like Romanticide and Song of Myself from this same Waken 2013 concert. Operatic vocals by Floor in Stargazers (Tempere 2015). Long epic multi-transition pieces like The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembly 2016) & The Greatest Show on Earth (Tempere 2015). Sheeeshhh, I could go on and on. They have many amazing musical masterpieces. Look forward to seeing further reactions of their performances. You'll be getting a LOT more requests now that you've done one Nightwish song. Just warning you. 😜
"Heaven felt that shit" Best comment I've heard about this piece
That is what Heaven sounds like to me, ya, heaven felt that shit......
Me too!

you ain't the only one
I'm glad it's not just me. This song catches EVERYONE completely off guard.
I've watched at least 2 dozen reactions to this song so far. Every one of them is amazing.
I know wbat you mean the look on peoples faces priceless. I just heard it for the first time this week I can't get enough. Floorgasim
We are many
This Man Literally Floorgasmed and Said, Heaven Felt That Shit! Most Satisfying Comment Ever.
I know right that was the best line I've heard reacting to that!
So much love and appreciation! Music truly is Magic.
lol felt the same my thought was the angels paused ...looked at gabriel holding his horn...smiled meekly and puts it down until floor is done..
This performance always brings tears to my eyes. Bow down to the Valkyrie Goddess.
Floor forever!
Goosebumps every single time
It’s been seven years since I first heard it. Still bring tears to my eyes.
We are an army and we stand only to our queen, arise nightwish army
Was it true u where sick .
When you watch a video so much you start to watch other people watching the video.
Lol
Right there with you. I've been watching reactions to this and Poet and the Pendulum at Wembley for the the past week
I've spent the whole night watching reactions to that performance and I'm not bored yet.

Sorry but that night at awacken it was appx 88000.
4:02 and he already goes "bro, the range in her voice!"
and i'm like "bro, you really don't know what's coming at you..."

i thought that it was just me.
@@dougmphilly haha, I'm not alone in this!
It's correct
Carlos Morales same here!! Can’t stop, won’t stop!
It's good to know I'm not the only one doing this. 😁
I stopped listening to Nightwish when Tarja left. I've seen now, that was a mistake...
Tobias Bousch It truly is. They’ve now come an anniversary album and have been touring with it since March. Although they were sneaky and didn’t put Come Cover Me on it, and now don’t have it on fucking Spotify REEE 😂
Floor is fucking incredible. Especially live. Once you see them live, how they are now, makes me happy. They’re a family now, I love it.
They’re now bigger than they were when they had Tarja, which is saying something. They had to move venues in London in 2015, to Wembley Arena. I went to see them live at Wembley almost two weeks ago, they were fantastic.
Don't kick yourself too hard. Tarja was the original, and created a lot of the mystique of the Nightwish sound. I was turned off by Anette...the pop voice didn't cut it...its seemed as though the magic was gone. When I heard they hired Floor, I immediately came back. If you had ever heard Floor before, you would have know she was the perfect singer for Nightwish. Glad to have you back in the fold again.
I mean, it's understandable. The singer after Tarja wasn't.... nearly as good as Tarja was. Floor, on the other hand, is phenomenal.
Floor is an expert at ambushing the uninitiated. She comes in at a higher skill level than most other singers, and you think you know what you're in for. But she's only at 20%, and slowly unveils all of the weapons in her arsenal until she's ready to deliver the deathblow. Drops my jaw every time.
Top comment man.
You know how that ambushing move is called? Gettin’ “Floored” 😆
@@kpsmorera
I prefer Floorgasm, personally. 😉
She's like Super Saiyan 5 compared to other top vocalist in the world.
She's like a Final Fantasy boss battle, but you just want to give in and her to hit you with that arsenal again and again
I see Nightwish, I click. Simple.
THANK YOU!!!!
same here, lol
I think we all do :)
I see you going around to different Ghost Love Score reactions posting this comment :P
I think just like me, Ghost Love Score reaction videos is your kink :P
@@stefinatorr Funny thing is, this *has* to be one of the most reacted/reviewed songs lately! There are just TONS of them. This particular performance is 5+ years old, so why now...who knows??? But it's GREAT. I think I've seen most of them myself as well.
Another one of the simple family... Is always great to meet new family members xD
Anyone else almost tear up at the end? Her voice is just incredible, this is my first time ever listening to this band too.
adrenaline welcome to the family. Floor’s voice is glorious, a force of nature.
One helluva introduction! Welcome to the fold of Nightwish and Floorgasm-ers.
Everytime she makes my eyes cum.
Every single time I listen to this.
I'm straight up crying every time I listen to this performance :D
Nightwish "The Poet and the Pendulum" Live at Wembley is an absolute must next......
Yes, I completely agree
Yeah , I agree
True!
@@Modnar621 Definately
Impossibile for him not to love that one!
I've never seen a man fall in love so quickly.
Good thing you couldn't see me.I fell in love as soon as her mouth opened and the first words came out of her mouth. I am 52,I have been listening to metal most of my life,no other singer,male or female has made me want to meet them or go to a concert.I like live music but I hate being in crowds.I would put up with the crowd to see her and the band. To hear her voice live could be a religious experience.
Same with Alex, the HipHopHead reacting to metal. His face.. His face looked like he'd seen an angel, he could hear wedding bells ring, he was planning to have kids with her and grow old together after the first 2 notes :D
It's all in his eyes man. :p
Same as I did.
Russell Boynton It is.
Holy f'ing shitballs !! I have never heard of this band before now, but I think I might have witnessed Xena blessed with the voice of a Goddess. Just bought the album. I believe I have been Floorgasmed o_O
Welcome to the Nightwish family! The Once album that this is off has their first vocalist, Tarja Turunen, in case it seems a little jarring. That was the last one that she did with the band, and the next two albums afterwards (Dark Passion Play - which The Poet and the Pendulum is off, I can see people begging Preston to listen to that in the comments - and Imaginaerum) have Anette Olzon on the mic. Floor has only been with the band from 2013, and only has, at present, one album with her on vocals - Endless Forms Most Beautiful. On tour though, they do some of the older stuff - some of which, before Wembley, hadn't been done in ten years. Enjoy your journey through the discography, if you decide to take it. It's a hell of a ride.
Yeah... that was basically my response when I discovered Nightwish a few months ago. Now I have ALL their albums! Another operatic/symphonic metal band to check out is EPICA. Do it. Do it now.
You believe correctly! Welcome!
@@KaiHarper89
I bought the "Showtime, Storytime" album because I kinda want to hear this performance solidly for the next 3 weeks. I'm not sure that a studio album could be better than this, but give me time dude ! I'll be working on it :)

Originally, the first thought in my head was that it reminded me of Within Temptation, who I also love. I'll be looking up Epica soon. Only so many hours in the day man ! ;)

What about The first singer?
Everytime is see this song reacted to I just say “finally, people are discovering a band I’ve loved for over 15 years”
Cassie Winters sadly I have only been following for 13 yrs
I was waiting like 12 years to see it live. And i did..Never will be fully able to describe it. Just another dimension.
the band has so many issues , their biggest mistake was lettin anette go , i mean after tarja people put it down to her being a diva , too many questions now , well see if floor leaves lol
At least youre not a hipster about it lol.
I only found them in 2019 and cant get enough
"Heaven felt that shit"! :D spot on comment :P
lol i've watched this reaction a few times now and i always thought he said "Kevin felt that shit" and i'm just sitting here like who the fuck is Kevin? xD
Indeed, that comment was Golden! 🖒👏
God is afraid of Nightwish’s power 😈
God always gives the talent -- it's up to us on how to use it.
In this case, I think that Floor chose to give everybody Floorgasms, lol.
Floor's talent is so raw, so natural, that it is like a rare wine: It can only get better with age -- and that's saying something. :)
Amen !
I doubt about the sanity of anyone who doesn't bring back the video to listen to that final note at least three times.
When I first saw this performance, I actually brought the complete video back several times.
I knew the song from when Tarja was still in the band. That vocal exhibition in the end was not there. A million details about the vocals were not there before, that's all Floor. She made a real difference to how the song feels.
@@flashpeter625 Ghost Love Score was not my first Nightwish music experience.
Phantom of the Opera live with Tarja and Marco WAS my introduction to Nightwish.
I came VERY late to the party, but after hearing Tarja and Marco kill Phantom, I was immediately a new Nightwish fan.
Then I heard that Tarja had been fired way back in 2005.
I thought, how the Hell do you replace a singer with the operatic range of Tarja Turunen?
Then I discovered Ghost Love Score live at Wacken and witnessed the power and the glory that is Nightwish now fronted by Floor Jansen.
And I realized THAT is PRECISELY how you replace a vocalist as seemingly irreplaceable as Tarja Turunen:
You get someone who is EVEN BETTER.
You get Floor Jansen.
And, by doing so, you give your devoted followers a Floorgasm, night after night after night.
AND, better still?
You get hundreds if not thousands of brand new Nightwish fanatics who hear THIS song, Ghost Love Score, live at Wacken, with Floor Jansen, and become INSTANT fans of this amazing band.
I think KTF should also react to another video that I discovered not too long after hearing this Wacken performance of this song.
There is a gentleman on UA-cam who put together an excellent version of Ghost Love Score live that features BOTH Tarja AND Floor singing the song.
And what I discovered right away was how vastly superior Floor Jansen's version is when compared side by side with Tarja's.
Floor ABSOLUTELY KILLS IT and Tarja's version in comparison looks weak and anemic, utterly devoid of any power or majesty.
Floor not only kills it, she has vastly superior command of the stage, power and majesty to spare, AND she has the entire massive Wacken crowd eating right out of her hand AND she totally gives the band ALL the accolades it deserves right after she just utterly killed the ending vocal, whereas Tarja just finished singing and abruptly walked off-stage, as though she just could not possibly be bothered to acknowledge the frenzied adoring throngs of people OR her killer band.
And it became instantly apparent that Floor Jansen, the stunningly beautiful, astoundingly vocally gifted singer from Holland/the Netherlands, rescued the Finnish symphonic metal titans that are Nightwish.
(Most of my own personal family heritage is Dutch, so I might be a little biased towards Floor because of that.)
"Storytime " from the same album/concert ends just as great!!
A@@flashpeter625 Always been my favorite NW song, but Floor made it her own!!!!
three...hundred
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish! :D
Your face when Floor started singing was priceless, as was the incredulous awe later on. Don't worry, she does that to everyone, everyone falls instantly in love. :D And yeah, this wasn't even her really trying to push her limits. She has nearly four-octave range, incredible control and musicality, and she can do anything from growls to operatic stuff. Plus the stage presence of a valkyrie queen, obviously.
Nightwish has been around since '96 when they started out in a small town in Finland, and they've been through three lead vocalists. Floor Jansen has been with them since 2012 and many fans consider her the best of the three though each one has their own fans. They're god-tier symphonic metal, basically, there is no one who can truly match them. Their keyboardist and primary songwriter Tuomas Holopainen is a genuine musical genius and a composer his idol Hans Zimmer now considers an equal.
Anyway! Other song suggestions: Storytime, Song of Myself and Romanticide from this same show (live at Wacken 2013), Élan official music video, The Poet and the Pendulum live, The Greatest Show On Earth live (it's 20 minutes long but worth every second!).
It is the greatest watching someone hear her hit that note on this video for the first time. You almost get to live it all over again.
Tarja was better.
@@zingyzippo5954 Like I said, each fan has their favourite. It's largely a matter of taste.
Those suggestions.. damn son, Storytime? Elan!? really now, Elan? give the original Nightwish some love bro. It was their best period until olzon came to the band. I love floor since invisible circles era but she's not NW's signature voice neither nightwish are the band they used to be even if they got "bigger" and more pop-ular, it's just a tuomas'es band now. For example empuu nowadays seems like a session musician totally in the background music-wise. I miss the days with the circle pits and full on metal at their shows, the softer and cheesier music in the last non-Tarja albums drive me away making Epica their trully heirs who still stand on their ground getting better and better, just my taste and opinion
Come on really now.. Elan?!?! you're trolling right? of all the back catalogue of their glorious career you suggested storytime and Elan?! xD
Your comment is pure cringe.
I was there in that crowd. WAAAACCCKKEEENNNN!!!!! And they are awesome!
Top bands I've always wanted to see live
Emma quirke,did you get the ticket only to be told that the lead singer had left?what were you expecting?then to realise that you probably witnessed one of the greatest concerts ever.i’ve seen pink Floyd at Wembley which was mind blowing.but I wish I had been there with you.
that whole weekend was awesome, but Nighwish capped it off brilliantly - I'm happy I was there.
@@stephendicks3239 Not Emma, but I was at Wacken '13 - I bought my ticket knowing nightwish was going to be there, but I was also at the infamous Denver show where Annette got sick the year before and then fired. This whole show was epic, the whole weekend was awesome, really no downsides.
Andrew Carlson ,you were one lucky bloke.roll on time travel,that’s where I’m heading to.✌️👍🤓
That last note is called a Floorgasm. I have seen where other people have given you some background information. They are considered a symphonic power metal band. They have been around for 20+ years. They come from Finland. The keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their songs. They have had 3 singers. #1 was Tarja Turunen. She was with them until 2005. After they fired her(long story, different versions) they hired #2 Anette Olzon. She was with them until mid tour 2012 when they let her go (another long story). Then they hired #3 and current singer Floor Jansen. The bassist is Marco who also does vocals. The guitar player(one of the originals) is Emppu. The first drummer's name is Jukka. He had to quit touring due to health reasons in 2015. He is in this video and he is still with the band as the CEO of their company. Jukka got his good friend Kai Hahto from the band Wintersun to play the drums and he is still with Nightwish. Back when Floor became a member of the band Troy Donockley came on board. He is a multi instrumentalist and does vocals.
This is the background of the band members and what they do.
This song is from the concert at Wacken 2013. Any song from this concert is great. The other live performances are the End of an Era concert, live at Wembley Arena concert, and live at Tampere concert. There are other live ones but these are the best ones. Welcome to the Nightwish community. I am going to warn you that Nightwish fans are die hard. I look forward to going on this Nightwish journey with you.

some people criticize reaction channels, but they are one of the best ways to raise awareness for bands and plus how do you not enjoy watching people enjoy your favorite music. so many people in the comments alone discovering Nightwish and in some cases rediscovering. lol
Yeah I think that's because Floor is a much more personable person then Tarja and an arguably better vocalist.
I'm totally addicted to watching these reaction videos of Nightwish with Floor, lol. You're right - this is so wonderful to see more and more people discovering them. And they all react the same way I did when I first heard them - pure and utter awe. Makes me so happy.
Thanks for adopting me. I new only of NightWish from Tarja and the track Nemo. Then I got introduced to Floor Jansen through Epica Sancta Terra ft Floor live Retrospective which is still today my favorite live performance from Floor and that's saying something.
Yep my first NW concert was back in Century Child. Love it
Floor Jansen makes it look easy, but what she does in this song is very difficult. It looks effortless because she's damn good, that's all. She has been singing since she was 18 and she's a vocal coach, so she has perfect control of her breathing, the notes, the body position... her technique is flawless and she can sing literally anything she wants, metal, rock, pop, opera...
she started even earlier i guess maybe 16 or 17

Right? I just recently heard/read something about Floor being initially intimidated and nervous about filling the shoes of the great Tarja. She was actually afraid of being rejected by the fans somehow, in a similar fashion to how they did not warm up to Ana (sp?).

With Trump's "Americans First" policy, you're NEVER going to get a Finnish band (e.g. Nightwish) playing at SuperBowl. Sorry!
Could u imagine if they did a Super Bowl as Nightwish halftime show? :D
I would actually watch the super bowl if a metal band played at the halftime show in modern times
@@Brummiemartin don't be seally. Trump doesn't control NFL or invite the entretainers to superbowl
Everyone would probably forget about the football game if Nightwish played at half time. I mean there would be so many Floorgasms not one would be able to focus on the second half.
That’s another one fallen under their spell. There were 82 thousand people in that crowd and she had every one of them in the palm of her hand. The Greatest show on earth live @ Tampere, Nightwish’s 21 minute masterpiece.
Watch the entire show.....Wacken 2013.
There are good singers. There are really good singers. There are great singers.
Then there is Floor Jansen.
then there is roy khan
I'll paraphrase Peter B.:
In the beginning, God created music, and saw it was good.
Then God created metal, and saw it was better.
Then God created women metal singers, and saw that it was great.
Then God created Floor Jansen, metal female vocalist perfection, and dropped the mic.
Tom P Tati is in a her own league with her growls
It's my new opinion that Floor Jansen is now the greatest singer on the planet and I say that because of her mastery of so many genres and her incredible vocal range and her beautiful vibrato.
I'm 61 years old and I enjoy ALL kinds of music, but only few Reactioneers(?). You are my favorite!!!! Young man, I love watching you feel the voices, the sounds, and magic, which is the music!! Goosebumps forever!
Welcome to the Nightwish Universe. They do not know how to put on a bad performance. Type in Nightwish live... Pick a song and enjoy. That is how it is. You load up this concert "wacken 2013" Wembley, Tampere, any of them. Be ready, An army of followers will click this video. They will spout out songs. Trust they are all good. You have only seen one facet to a multi faceted diamond here. They have so much to bring to the table. Enjoy them, explore them. You will find that most other things will kind of be boring to watch after a while.
Hahaha!! Another victim of Floorgasm!!!! Welcome in the club bro, the Best symphonic metal ever!!!!!!
METAL CHURCH the word Floorgasm should be in the dictionary!
One if the best bands.... period ....
@@MetalMike38 totally agree!
@@petethorley5998 this is very true.
Nightwish has been my gateway drug into metal (Nemo, specifically). Many of the other bands I started listening to back then I don't really follow any more these days, but I'll be damned if I'm not excited as a little kid each time I hear Nightwish are producing a new album ...
This is my first time hearing them. I appreciate you doing different genres because now I'm a fan. Absolutely Outstanding!!!
That was fun. Dude. I gotta say I've seen probably 30 reactions to this song and you're the only one to give any credit to her return to the stage. With the hair flip and that jab she throws. That's SO SO SO commanding. Such a power move. Nice to see someone finally address it.
What makes this even more impressively vocally is that this song is the song they end their shows with. So this is her voice after 2+ hours of performing. She's an absolute goddess, and the band is musically and technically amazing.
Check out their song "The Poet and the Pendulum" live at Wembley to be amazed again.
Not true, they usually ended their shows with Last Ride of the Day. And so they did on this Wacken 2013 concert. Now they do it with Greatest Show on Earth a lot.
It was the third from last song in the setlist though.
The lead singer is Floor Jansen. Welcome to the floorgasm!!
“She up there looking like Xena” couldn’t agree more.
Floor stands 6'1" tall. She is a godess. Xena's only a princess.
I think of a bad ass Norse Viking war goddess when I see her!
Nightwish press statement / July 15th, 2019
(Photo credits: Timo Isoaho)
Nightwish has begun working on their 9th studio album, set to be released during spring 2020.
Below you will find a statement from Jukka Nevalainen, who`s been the drummer in the band since their 1997 debut album “Angels Fall First”:
“It has now been five years since my difficult decision, due to severe insomnia, to step aside from the Vehicle of Spirit of Nightwish. This included the previous studio album and the tours which followed.
As I then expected, it turned out to be the right thing to do. These days I'm doing fantastic, and hardly ever need to deal with any sleeping issues. It also dawned on me that having more time to merely focus on band - related things happening behind the curtains made all the difference.
Having said this, I have decided not to push my luck by returning to the band. My dear pal Kai Hahto will take my place as a full-time member of the band. I will continue to take care of the band`s businesses in the background, and I`m very much looking forward to what other adventures life has to offer!
My sincere thank you`s for the band and the fans for the glorious time we shared!“
Jukka
Jukka is the drummer in this video, Kai is the drummer in "Poet and the Pendelum"
I am amazed they can bring it out so soon.
Love Kai but truly miss Jukka best to him and his family ❤❤
You've just opened pandora's box bro. Nightwish fans are hardcore. They visit every reactor to educate and recommend relentlessly and passionately.
Nightwish is on their 3rd singer (Floor Jansen - pronounced Yansin), who you just watched. She literally saved the band when their second singer, Annette Olzon, had to drop out mid tour. The band had to volunteer 2 female singers from the other band Kamelot who they were touring with just to do the show (not the one you watched, but one 8 months earlier). After that show, they called up Floor and asked if she'd be able to fill in for the rest of the tour. She accepted but had only 48 hours to learn their set list. Not only did she learn the lyrics and timing of the verses/ect, she sang that shit so well, everyone was dumbfounded. She helped them finish off the tour and they all decided she should be the new singer for good.
Their first singer, Tarja Turunen ("Tar-ya"), had a very opratic vocal style (even more than iron maiden) , which at the time they formed was uncommon. But fans got attached to her. After she got married and had kids, she developed a lot of creative differences with the band to the point they decided to part ways. That's when they hired on Annette. But she didn't sing opratic, she was much more poppy. She couldn't do most of Tarja's songs and she was quite horrible live (they hardly ever released live performances with her because she just didn't cut it). Most fans dropped off when Annette joined. But when Floor came on, she was able not only to sing both Tarja and Annette songs, but she does it significantly better than both of them. Old skewl fans came back for Floor.
The founder and main composer of 95% of all the music and lyrics is the keyboardist, Toumas Holopainen ("Too-moss"). Much of what he writes is very personal, very theatrical, and very poetic. Mostly it is just happened to turn out that way because of Tarja's opratic vocal style (which he didn't plan, it was just discovered).
The fans left because they totally blind sided Tarja out of the band. There is no way to sugar coat that shit into something even closely related to acceptable behavior. They lost me there... That was just brutal. After a gig they just handed her a letter and that was it.
Floor is very good though, Anette could not hold a candle to the other two and that just added to their ugliness. It has been so many years now that it is time to forgive and forget, but that shit in 2006 was not cool in any way or shape.
Tarja had a darker sound to her vocals that still resonates really hard. Floor has a more clear sound. Both are sopranos and so was Anette, but she didn't have the skill to do this. You should check something with Tarja as well... As in 2006 or older.
@@timometsanoja9666 excelent put, some songs still match Tarja's voice better. i really can't choose, some songs i love Floor over Tarja, some i love Tarja over Floor.
@@atlanteean well, maybe I may not be able to forget this, but forgiveness time is here. Music goes on. It was 12 years ago that they did this, Floor Jansen has been the lead vocalist for 6 years now...
I would love to see Nightwish with both Tarja and Floor on stage belting out some of the old ones. That would be extremely nice to see, but I don't see this happening. Too much bad water has been spilled over here. But it would be really nice to see that. And we can always dream.
I never saw them live with Tarja but I did see them with Annette. The second time I saw them was actually when Annette canceled in Denver (was hospitalized) and I got to see Amaranthe's singer and The Agonists lead singers sing (they were touring with them through Kamelot) and the show was actually phenomenal. The guys in the band are so talented and with the other singers stepping in it actually was one of my favorite live concerts. They are just oozing talent. They asked us if we wanted our money back or if we wanted them to go on with the show the best they could. As we Nightwish fans are die hards of course we voted to go on with the show. lol
Fun fact, Floor (the lead singer) is married to the drummer of Sabaton!
Wow really?
And they have a kid
Sandesh Khade it’s a girl and yes, she’s gonna be tall.
Lucky man whenever they argue he can just watch this video and arguement over.
She needs to ditch him and marry me. lmao
Congrats for your first floorgasm.
Floor Jansen provokes intense goosebumps.
She once cried while singing this song in Chile.
She said this is her favorite Nightwish song
Lady Gaga, Madonna, Katie Perry, Cardi B, and the rest of you waif-ish, candy coated show boaters, bow before the Viking Warrior Poet Queen!
Gaga is the real deal.
Tuomas holopainen is the song writer and maestro of nightwish. He is also the founder and leader of the group. He is the Keyboard player....but yes.... Floor Jansen brought her own style that just completes the band to a height that I don't think they will ever reach again.
Gaga is a phenomenal singer.
She never do lip sync or playbacks.
Just because you might not like her music or her voice, does not make her a bad singer/vocalist.
She is an extremely good singer. Just as Floor is^^
honestly all of those singers can go soak for either being not very nice people or not very good singers but gaga not so much after hearing her do the sound of music medley, and how friendly and loving she was towards Julie Andrews asking her permission and then ther help with singing it. anything Julie Andrews sang in her time is so dificult to replicate well and GaGa did an amazing job, i would also love to hear floor sing that medley as im sure she would kill it too.
@@bojnebojnebojne she is also an outstanding classically trained pianist
If you think the singer's range here is impressive you should see "Poet and the pendulum-live at Wembley" That performance is an absolute monster.
You need to go to Europe on their concerts, in US the venues are small and there are restrictions on fireworks and all, but in Europe they go big, with all the bells and whistles and fireworks. And indeed, check also their other songs like Romanticide (heavier song), or Poet And The Pendulum (amazing), or The Greatest Show On Earth and much more. Nightwish is unique and Floor is just amazing.
Absolutely. Europe does well by them. It's the same with productions like Babymetal. They sell out 100,000 + "seat" venues on a regular basis yet they get booked in second or third tier venues in the US. It's a real shame.
@QueenBee 1980 In that case, if you have a chance, try to also go on Rammstein shows, those are absolutely amazing as well :)
@Dyan Hogue True enough, which is sad since people will miss so much this way. I guess on one hand they're afraid that there won't be enough audience for a big venue, but on other hand they need to do better marketing, plus not to underestimate people - people know way more about various bands then these organisers think, thanks to the Internet.
We just saw them at Manchester Arena last week. Totally epic!
Richard Lloyd I saw them in London. Phenomenal.
Vocals seem to have still the same resonants in a small venue.. have seen it done.. got the Floorgasms! 😁😁
Dont think i have ever heard a live performance executed in perfection like this!
it's a once in a century performance. This is my favourite song of all time hands down.
Heard this performance over a 100 times and each time i cant hold back the tears, thats how powerful this is to me.
Floor Jansen is unreal.
And this song wasn't even written for her voice xD that's the best part about it.
You should check out Ghost love score live from Buenos Aires.
This is amazing. Yes. One of the best lives I've ever seen.
Watching this again 4 years after you posted it lol, your reaction was always the best!
Bruh, I have never heard of Nightwish before your reaction. I am now a super fan of them instantly!! They get all the Don the Marcos...
Here's a little list of songs of theirs you will probably appreciate; Bare Grace Misery, Beauty and the Beast, Bless the child, Come Cover me, Crimson Tide, Crownless, Dark Chest of Wonders, Dead Boy's Poem, Dead to the World, Deep Silent Complete, Elvenpath, End of All hope, Ever Dream, Fantasmic, Feel for You, Forever Yours, Gethsemane, Ghost Love Score, Lagoon, Moondance, Nemo, Ocean Soul, Romanticide, Sacrament of Wilderness, She is my Sin, Slaying the Dreamer, Sleeping Sun, Sleepwalker, Stargazers, Swanheart, The Greatest Show on Earth, The Kinslayer, The Phantom of the Opera, The Riddler, Two for Tragedy, Walking in the Air, Wanderlust and Wish I had an Angel
She is a beast... And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Every time she hits those choruses and high notes, a tear comes to my eye. Every damn time!!! And I just discovered them within the last couple of weeks.
Nightwish has an incredible range of musical skills (all members) and they know how to combine it with a great show.. and is arguably one of the best bands ever
"Heaven felt that shit"
Bro.. Heaven sent that shit.
I don't know how it started and why so many people are making reaction vids to Nightwish but that's really cool to see a great band less underrated! And it's great to see people giving a try to music genres they don't usually listen to, keep it open-minded!!
Agreed 100%
Never heard of Nightwish until I watched this video from you. Now I love them thanks
OMG real?! Please go looking for the 20 years of music they have, and please, look for the others Finnish metal bands. You wont regret. Wintersun, Sonata Arctica, Blind Guardian, And so hundreads.
I found Floor on reactions too. Now I spend my days seeking my next Floorgasm. I'm an addict.
@@Grizzlox go see them live
@@j88per I wish I could, but I am living the luxurious life of poverty
Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars
The level of epic in this one is epic
Now we want to see a video of you watching OTHER people react to this song for first time, for 6 hours straight, like the rest of us.
Oh it’s not just me then 🤷🏻♀️
🤣 nope
@@troyastleford1008 Again nope.
"She don't even look like she's trying". Trust me dude... she not. Not yet.
"Need to find out when they're coming to my city." The beginning of the lament of every US Nightwish fan.
Sometimes they come; its usually smaller venues tho. I went to a concert they did in 2015; and damn, I didn't think anybody could do the Tarja songs quite right; and then Floor pulled off some of the hardest songs in their discography; it did not disappoint.
I saw them in like the seediest, crappiest hole in the wall venue in Chicago in 2012, like 5 days before Anette quit. It was...… a performance not worthy of Nightwish, to say the least. At least their show wasn't sold out though! And they played Over the Hills and Far Away, which was neat!
Saw them in Worcester a year or two back, killer performance, but not actually a great concert for me. They had a highly-produced movie projected behind them and played the setlist as fast as they could with no real breaks. I felt that the movie completely broke the connection with the crowd. (Also too loud of course so I couldn't really hear enough of the musicianship, but what concert isn't.) They didn't do an encore because Floor had a baby, which is totally understandable, but I would have preferred maybe one less song and a brief pause to build tension for the last song and get the audience excited and feel satisfied. But the main issue is I was there for the band, not the movie.
Nightwish _ greatest show on earth(live at tampere)
Nightwish _ poet and the pendulum (live at wembley arena)
Poet and the Pendulum!
@@Ashitaka1110 yeah, that was my mistake
2 years after watching your reaction to this, it is still the best. No doubt.
This was incredible. I'm a metal fan but I just discovered Nightwish with you! I feel like I've been tranced by a siren of the sea lol
Lol they do have a song The Siren.
Think mention of Sirens is in another couple of songs, too, right?
Don't feel bad that is a gothic rock band from Finland, that is why you never heard about it.
Lol, Evanescence. Nightwish is caviar with white truffle and champagne. Evanescene is a Mc Donalds cheeseburger with a coke. But that's okay, sometimes you wanna have just that.
Evanesence is more like good food from your local pub/bar its not processed shit from macdonalds. But yh nightwish is 5*
@@R3adybreck I can agree with that
I don't know why we're shitting on Evanescence. Nightwish . . . usually has better writing? But it's going on a grander scale of ethereal sound. That said when it comes to vocalists? Amy Lee is probably better than Floor.
Amy does have better pitch and more seamlessly can string sustained mid-ranged belts with or without mix and with a good control of her vibrato where as Floor's vibrato is a bit shaky and sometimes disconnects.
Amy would also probably have better skill as an opera singer given how well she rounds her notes and manages to project open vowels with a lot more resonance? Where as Floor despite being a vocal teacher doesn't seem to have much knowledge or even confidence in her semi-operatic areas given how thin and unrounded they can be.
@@iTeacupPanda Maybe we shouldn't compare them, like Preston said. Evanescence is more a goth flavoured alternative rock/new metal - thing. Reminds me more of Linkin Park, than european symphonic bands. Thei're good in what they are doing. Nightwish should be compared to Epica, Within Temptation and stuff like that. I don't know if Amy is a better vocalist. She has a great voice obviously, but to me it seems that she doesn't show such a wide range with Evanescence. Maybe that's just me. But maybe she is overqualified for a band like Evanescence.
@@wolfgangengel4835 We definitely shouldn't compare, given while they're of a complimenting genre or style it's not the same or really TRYING to be that.
I get what you're saying on the wide range thing, but if you think about it . . . it's because Amy Lee already puts a lot of different vocal stylings and techniques in what is already identified as her voice.
She has managed to fit lyrical classical styles with sorrowful ballads, power ballads, soft rock, alternative , etc. In one style / sound people identify as hers.
FINALLY !!!!! THANK YOU !!!
Next: Nightwish live @ tampere The Greatest Show On Earth
you will melt :D
Ghost love score is just a warm up for The Greatest Show On Earth. Live in Tampere
Finally thank you brooo !!
"Heaven felt that shit bro" LMAO i don't think anything can prepare him for it, but we've been equipping him with experience, so at least he''ll come out in one piece :P
and if you know him at all, that's exactly why he will react to it
"Heaven felt that shit." One of your most appropriate and memorable quotes from your reactions. This is one for the ages.
You are a beautiful human being, bro. Thank you for your heartfelt reactions! :)
I took this first ride along with Preston. This was amazing! Thanks Preston for bringing this to me.
floor is the perfection of human evolution. she can sing, she can dance, she can growl and she is beauty as f***.
saw them live a month ago in berlin. it was awsome.
great rection, best i saw in a while.
This is my first time hearing this band, and I believe this would've been the concert to end all concerts. I'm checking this out immediately.
I envy you, sir. Wish I could re-discover them for the first time again. As it stands, this band is the reason I'm a metalhead now.
Imagine this isn't even their best song. Their concerts rival the energy of Metallica back in their prime. This woman has a presence of a Goddess.
She got another one under her spell.
Every reaction I have seen for this masterwork is the same. A epiphany. That look of almost religious awe, every time I hear Floors' magic I almost weep
This is the best live performance of all time for me!
The energy is just incredible I need to see this live! Her voice and the band is off the scale and the drummer just hammers that drum kit.
Definitely goosebumps. Never heard of them before. Nice surprise, thanks 😉
I'm so glad you liked this! For a brief history lesson on Nightwish: Nightwish is a symphonic metal band, and easily the most successful one (but there are a few others that are very successful too like Within Temptation and Epica). NIghtwish formed in 1996. They had three lead singers over the years. Their first singer (Tarja Turunen) was the singer in five of their albums. Their second singer is Anette Olzon and they recorded 2 albums with her. And their current singer (the one you just saw) is Floor Jansen and she has been in one album so far. All of their singers have pretty different styles, but I think that would be cool if you can discover the sounds for yourself.
A great song to react to from their first singer (Tarja Turunen) is Nightwish - The Phantom of the Opera (make sure you do the live version with over 50 million views)
A great song to react to from their second singer (Anette Olzon) is Nightwish - Scaretale Official Live
And for another song with Floor Jansen (the current singer): Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley
The first time I heard this, I also kept playing the ending over and over lol. It's so damn crazy
They were around way before Evanescence. They basically started this genre of music :)
1996
Well technically both groups were started around the same time, just that Evanescence didn't release anythign of note for years and were very local at first, in the timeframe Nightwish released several albums and kickstarted the genre. And obviously Eva started out as christian rockband and didn't make the shift towards goth rock till years later.
@@TerranigmaQuintet Nightwish is it's own category though really as they are a Symphonic Progressive Metal Band that started out with an Operatic Vocalist. Evanescence did not take that approach, nor have they ventured into the symphonic route like Nightwish, nor the Operatic route. When Nightwish came around nothing like it had ever been tried in the Music scene yet.
@@powermetal26 Isn't that what I basically said when it comes to Eva?
@@TerranigmaQuintet they didn't start out Christian
I saw lots of GLS reactions, but I keep coming back to this one. Love it. A musiclover reacting to unheard songs, not a "vocalcoach", not a "musician" knowing everything better, and most important noone with patreon asking me for 25 bucks to keep saying "oh wow" during a 10 minute video.
This is genuine, I love it!
Totally agree with you !!!!
its a travesty that Nightwish isnt bigger in America, but that enables us to see em in clubs rather then stadiums
There are a lot of acts that should be bigger in the U.S., but thanks to the internet that is irrelevant.
YES. I saw them in Mobile Alabama at the Saenger, drove from Louisiana for it, and the place wasn't even filled. They fill entire damn stadiums in Europe. "Travesty" isn't even close!
I’ve seen them twice in smaller venues in Alabama and they absolutely took the roof off of the place! Amazing band.
James LeMaire I was there! They filled the venue in Birmingham but yeah there was hardly any ppl in mobile. I did manage to get the set list from the stage and a pic from Marco.
I'm so glad it's that way, so American fans can enjoy them closer, plus Nightwish are the most loyal and spend tons of money in merchandise when they tour.
This song is haunting, majestic, epic and emotionally powerful all at once. I can't describe it any better than that. What a performance.
This isn't better than only Evanescence. This is better than EVERYTHING.
Nah Nightwish is corny. Unleash the Archers is better.
d3m0nger I agree 💯
@@Justin-nq6kf I`ve only heard Awakening and was not too impressed. They are obviously very good musicians, but it felt like they were playing fast for the sake of playing fast, much like Dragonforce. I´m not saying it was bad, just lacked a little subtlety.
@@jannikmucha2824 That songs not supposed to be subtle. Its literally called AWAKENING. Playing fast for the sake of playing fast. Uh ok lol
@@Justin-nq6kf Maybe subtlety is the wrong word. I just think that sometimes they should have slowed down a little (the drummer in particular). Some parts felt like a race, where they try to outperform each other. Just my personal impression. Like I said, they`re not bad, just not for me.
"and she looking like Xena" Ah man I feel you, Lucy Lawless was like my crush
Floorgasm achieved. 😂😂 I think we have a new Nightwish fan. They have a wide variety of songs from very heavy to this epic ballad you just watched. Heavier stuff like Romanticide and Song of Myself from this same Waken 2013 concert. Operatic vocals by Floor in Stargazers (Tempere 2015). Long epic multi-transition pieces like The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembly 2016) & The Greatest Show on Earth (Tempere 2015). Sheeeshhh, I could go on and on. They have many amazing musical masterpieces. Look forward to seeing further reactions of their performances. You'll be getting a LOT more requests now that you've done one Nightwish song. Just warning you. 😜
She is so graceful on stage and tough at the same time
I cannot thank you enough, i had never heard of nightwish until your reaction and they are my new absolute favorite performers. They are fantastic!
14:57 "gonna hit that one more time"
.... wait for it xDDD
