Nightwish Reactions: ua-cam.com/play/PLiT72mImvysMk2-j671tsnPs1RH6jUHG5.html
Thank you very much for your reaction, David! But if you'd like to listen to REALLY high notes, please consider Dimash Kudaibergen - Confessa + Diva Dance. Far not every female singer can cope with such high notes, but this guy can :) ua-cam.com/video/23HYymUjIHE/v-deo.html
Dimash is from Kazakhstan, and he got excellent education in classical music there. He became internationally famous after winning in Chnese version of "The Voice". He is now studying for his Master's Degree in theory of music (also in Kazakhstan), can play classical and traditional instruments.
I never get tired of seeing "the look" that people get with that end note.
Yesssss that note slays
Ah yes, the Floorgasm :)
A Nightwish virgin having their first Floorgasm.
Same here
Luckily that one is almost full proof.
What gets me is the lack of reaction often when the song picks up and she starts singing more powerfully and chesty compared to the intro.
And especially when she belts time to never hold our love... Which has always been one of my favorite parts. And it's a very good and high belt. And half the time people... Even people hearing her for the first time... Half the time they don't react to at all.
That gets me!
floor is one of the best vocalists of this time. Well trained and can sing anything from opera to pop or growls. The keyboard player is the genius composer behind al of their songs.
You: "I imagine this singer get so many comparisons to"
Me: "NOOOOOOO Dont say it!!!!
You: "Amy Lee"
Me: 😖
I thought exactly the same, lol. But he also said that the comparison is actually not justified.
Yes, the first reactor from US that corrects that statement, so a big thumbs up from me.
Yeah, nicely saved 😁
The fact that so many think of Amy when they first hear Floor/GLS must bring some merit. Probably because there is a limited degree of like examples to go by, and most people are more familiar in the States with Evanescence.
Ouch. It hurts me too.
FLOOR JANSEN , THE BEST FEMALE METAL SINGER OF THE WORLD .
Best female singer period 😎👌🏻
Alessia White (Arch Enemy), Sharon de Adel (Within Temptation), Simone Simmons (Epica), Lzzy Hale (Halestorm) and Amy Lee (Evanescence) are all top tier.
Tatiana Shmaylyuk (Jinjer) and Courtney Laplante (Spiritbox) are also up there.
@@jessegillmore7228 Hey Jesse , Your right , They are great .
Nightwish is all about a general soft and poetic ground theme, underlaid with metal heaviness. This song is on the softer end of their spectrum and relatively long. Go listen to almost any other song from the absolutely epic Wacken 2013 show for something heavier (Romanticide, Song of Myself, Ghost River, Dark Chest of Wonders, Storytime, ...). That should establish their "normal" spectrum pretty much, and then there the special "outlier" songs that make this band even more interesting, Greatest Show on Earth, Weak Fantasy and Sleeping Sun from the Tampere show, Devil and the Deep Dark Oceant, Dead Boys Poem from Buenos Aires and many many more.
I think the key is in their variety. They're so broad as musicians it's always hard to define them. For years, I've considered Tuomas the 21st century Beethoven
Yes!
America, home of the brave. The Netherlands, home of the metal goddesses like Floor Jansen, Anneke van Giersbergen, Sharon den Adel, Simone Simons etc etc.
And yet, until recently, dutch people know Amy Lee more than their treasures xD
Don't forget "absurdly tall people".
@@StergiosMekras Floor is 6.1 tall. The right size of a Valkyrie
AMEN!!
Anneke♥️
They are not as popular here in the State as they are like in South America and of course Finland etc where most of the band is from. Keep listening and you will see Floor Jansen is levels above Amy Lee vocally (and I am a fan of Amy Lee). Nightwish is an incredible band. Just to see what I mean listen to Bestes Zangers Phantom of the Opera Floor Jansen (happened about 6 months ago).
It is a show on Dutch television called 'Beste Zangers'. Floor & others star in the 2019 edition. She sings in 4 different languages during the period of the show (6 weeks running on TV?) and just as many styles. She is insanely good.
Correct me if I am wrong but, didn't Amy Lee, take inspiration from bands like Nightwish(with their original singer) when she started Ev.. I remember the first time I heard it on the mainstream I was suprised that a goth/symphonic sounding group was on mainstream at all, at the time. lol
@@Liatni She could have known, but I don't think Nightwish had any world wide hits just yet. Supposedly the male vocal and metal riffs were added to her original composition to make it radio friendly. Her new version is pretty different, so I can see that being the case. Not 100% on that though. Might be interviews with her that say for sure.
@@ellenhunt8767 I'm from the statrs and knew about Nightwish in the late 90's before I knew of Amy Lee. I actually liked Evanescence because they reminded me of simplified Nightwish. This was of course with Tarja.
@@Liatni Nightwish, Within Temptation, The Gathering - you name it.
Normally someone new to Nightwish is directed to "Romanticide" from the same concert, as a heavier contrast to this song. This performance is from the 2013 Wacken Open Air metal festival in Germany, where they were the headline act of the festival. They were singing in front of 82,000 people.
One of my favourites though is the Wembley Arena version of "7 Days to the Wolves" as they really get the place rocking. ua-cam.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/v-deo.html
In "Ghost Love Score", we see the opera/musical theatre Floor. In "7 Days to the Wolves", we see more of the metal Floor. We also see Troy, the sixth member, who is a multi-instrumentalist playing the bouzouki in this performance, plus the Uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes), guitar, plus a variety of flutes and whistles in other songs.
They have three vocalists, Floor Jansen on lead, Marko Hietala the bassist, and Troy Donockley. The band is from Finland, Floor is from the Netherlands and Troy is English.
Totally agree with 7 days the wolves being fantastic!
I usually suggest Ghost River just to see the surprise when Marko comes in.
I was one of the 82000!!!!
In my experience most reactors start with Ghost Love Score.
Nightwish definitely is More! More epic and more everything else. You'll see. Thank you and greetings from Finland!
And thank you Finland for Nightwish. The highlight of my year will be to see them in Tampere on June 5th at RockFest …. I really really really hope it doesn’t get cancelled.
aeldin131 Shit luck with this virus. NW has postponed the opening acts in China but unfortunately more bad news will come. I hope we all be well and there will be great concerts to come. 👍
Amy Lee is good but Floor blows her out the water. Just saying! Welcome to the Nightwish army.
The London Philharmonic Orchestra plays behind, no electronics at all
Yes! The keyboardest Tuomas Holopainen, composes the music and records the backing track with The London Philharmonic Orchestra, as Daria said. The recording also includes the choir voices. All natural instruments; no synths.
Not completly true. Tuomas is playing some parts of the orchestra live on his keyboard (the short strings at 09:10 for example) - and those are of course samples, or at least he is layering the samples he is playing with the backing track, but 09:53 sounds like "samples only" to me.
And to me this is completly fine, still sounds amazing AF!
Bottom line is correct though - most of what you hear is the London Philharmonic Orchestra ;)
@@marcel1416 Yes, that's why he usually have three keyboards at the same time.
Nightwish got new album "Human :||: Nature" 2020 song called "Noise"
Suggestions ? Let me see: pick any song from that concert wacken 2013 ,or wembley or tampere 2015 or even buenos aires 2018 , and i mean any song . 4 concerts , tell me if you find a bad song kkkk.
You just summoned the Nightwish Army!) Thank you for your reaction!
Well, you've just witnessed Her Majesty Northern Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen, she is Dutch). She has classical background, and used to be a vocal coach for a number of years. She is a very versatile singer and can sing anything from more pop-y style, classic opera, to metal screams and growls. And she is really tall, I mean 6'1 + hills.
Floor joined Nightwish in late 2012, and before that they had Anette Olzon as a frontwoman, and before Anette - Tarja (Tar-ya) Turunen.
Not all string sound you heard were produced by a keyboardist (Tuomas, and he is a masterming behind lyrics and music). They are using a backtrack recorded with a classical symphonic orchestra.
Nightwish is better live, always, so if live performance is available, go for it.
They have very diverse music, from more light songs to epic scores like that one, and to really heavy metal stuff.
For the next step, I can suggest listening to Storytime from the same Wacken 2013 live (pronounced Vaken, it is in Germany).
Greetings from Moscow! :)
mah, when you say she from classical background, that makes her sound like one the many that have a good voice and find a market in metal. But Floor is a metal head through and through, and you can see that in her face when she performs. She lives and breaths metal
It is no more than just a fact, she studied opera singing for some time. Listen to her "O mio babbino caro" for example. She has this knowledge and this ability, but she prefers to sing metal, as she many times stated in her interviews. Quote:
"I've studied classical singing, but I'm way more at home in Heavy Metal."
And it is great that she can incorporate those elements in her career of a metal singer.
Hello, @Hoopsick Reacts! Nightwish Army incoming here, your reaction just appear on our radar.. Your was a honest reaction, I really enjoyed it. I'll subscribe for that, to follow your discovery journey. They have several other songs of this lenght, but most of them are in "normal" size. Since this is your first Nightwish experience, here are some info that may help you navigate (a short history of the band, concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female fronted symphonic metal band. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "

Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
Wow. Thank you so much for all of this info
All hail Gabriel, the Scout of the Nightwish Army!
@@cornflowerofsweden1288 :) Thanks.
Do not call yourselves "Nightwish Army". It is a fucking metal band, not a K-pop band.
@@ritternoire I do not want to be pedantic but.. the term "Army" was used way before K-pop even existed. "The Kiss Army" is an example.
Nightwish is the biggest band in Finland. I'm also from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen (the keyboardist) is the mastermind behind the awesome band, he writes the songs etc. And metallica was the inspiration behind him.
You should check ever dream, storytime and dark chest of wonders - live wacken 2013
Alpenglow and shudder before the beautiful - live Wembley 2015
Sleeping sun and the islander - live from Tampere 2015
Elan - live Buenos Aires 2018
I think you're not ready for poet and the pendulum or the greatest show on earth yet. You will enjoy them more later!
Thank you and be safe!
Nightwish is the biggest metal band in the world with female lead singer.
Two things:
1. We call ourselves Nightwish Army
2. You said the forbidden word (AL)
So I have learned, but y'all couldn't have told me it was the forbidden words if I didn't say it. So I guess it worked out. Thank you Nightwish Army
@@Hoopsick Rock on! THAT's the attitude the Army loves!
Oh, come on, people, he couldn´t know about the comparisons between Floor and Amy Lee.. He`s from the States and Amy Lee is the only thing to compare he has heard already... Let him discover all the amazing singer ladies we have here in Europe... Floor is number 1, but Simone (Epica), Sharon (Within Temptation), Charlotte (Delain), Lori (Therion, by the way, she is american and nobody know her in her own country), Dianne (Xandria), Aylin (Sirenia) and so many many more...
@@rafaelsmerdoufranke6157 Don't forget the two beautiful ladies of Imperial Age, a Russian band I just discovered!
@@pietheindejonge321 Oh, I didn't forget them, though they are so many it that it would be too long... I love Imperial Age for some years know, since I discovered the amazing song "Turn the sun Off" (14 minutes long), and Legacy of Atlantis is really awesome. I have all their albums and listen to them regularly. Besides, they are very much inspired by Therion and close friends of Christopher Johnson, Therion's mastermind and in my opinion the most talented composer in the world...
I also would include Zuberoa (from Diabulus in Musica, they just released an awesome album, one of the few that is directly comparable to EPICA), Carmen (Coronatus), Vibeke (Tristania), Lisa (Draconian), Emma (Dreamslave), Fabienne (Eluveitie), Gaby (Haggard), Helena (Imperia), Nina (Neopera), Nitza (Nostra Morte), Asphodel (Penumbra)and of couse Tarja and Annete... This for the moment, if you liked Imperial Age, try any of these bands if you don't know them and you will find amazing music (specially Haggard and Penumbra, man, those two are my two other tops with Therion, Nightwish and Epica)...
I was at this Concert :-) Wacken Open Air 2013. This Song was at the end of an over 90min Show. So the vocal performance is even more impressive.
Be prepaired, Nightwish armee soon arriving :)
14:04 I thought: "Don't you dare hit pause now!"😲 Then: "Ok, he just checked how much time left"😏
I know, I was yelling at my phone saying “Don’t you dare!”
Same here! I’ve seen a few reactors pause before that last note and it kills me!
That's just the beginning...Ghost River, Storytime and Romanticide from the same concert are also fantastic! The Greatest Show on Earth is also huge but I'd save that for the end. You really need to watch the whole Wacken 2013 concert to really appreciate everything these performers can do. I've been following Floor and Nightwish since the beginning and I never get tired of jamming out to these epic tracks! Thanks for reacting!
82.000+ people going Metal mental, Nightwish has many genres, please check out Song of Myself and I Want My Tears Back, Storytime, same concert at wacken 2013 :) Subbed to follow your Nightwish Journey
More Nightwish please 🤘🤘
Nightwish = ratings
You found one of the best bands in the world. This has been the most satisfying and musically perfect year plus, of my life. Nightwish fills a music gap I didn’t know I had. I focused on Floor’s time with NW. Excellent suggestions have already been made. I’m eagerly waiting for their new album, Human. Nature. April 10th. Greetings from Missouri! Stay safe. Keep the NW coming. Subscribed, too.
Lorie - I'm also in Missouri (Springfield)...Greetings fellow Nightwisher!
Subscribed. Welcome to Nightwish. Great reaction. All I'll say about Nightwish is, always expect the unexpected with them. As you progress on your Nightwish journey, you'll see what I mean!
Great reaction, and welcome to the Nightwish party :) If you want to hear more Nightwish (hopefully you do!), there is ALOT to sink your teeth into :) Newcomers usually end up checking out Romanticide as a follow up to Ghost Love Score - its a bit more of a 'conventional' metal song, but this is conventional by NW standards so its always going to be next level :) I actually agreed with a lot of ur analysis/thoughts in the middle of ur reaction; Symphonic Metal is very different for American audiences especially, mainly because this kind of music has simply not really been available to the American market unless you searched hard for it, meanwhile these bands have been doing their thing over here in Europe for decades already and its only now (thanks to youtube in many ways) that you guys are starting to catch up and discovering music we've been enjoying for ages :) Anyways, hope you enjoy the NW ride :)
Awesome reaction and instant sub. Nightwish is the most versatile band i know.
Welcome to this wonderful journey (full of surprises, you'll see !)
5:10
me:don't say it, don't say it.
Him: ..Amy Lee
Me: 😑
I'm surprised I even got the name right. I listen to zero female singers on the regular so this is new to me. This turned out to be significantly different than anything I've heard from Amy Lee. Floor Jansen rocks🤘
Almost guaranteed that if an American hears Nightwish for the first time they will make an Evanescence comparison.
@@Hoopsick add 4 more minutes for listening 14 min of pure art: "The Poet of the Pendulum" live from Wembley 2016. Again she is blending different styles perfectly together. The transistions to the part 3: The Pacific and part 5: Father and Mother are insane and maybe the most touching I ve ever heard.
@@pmasher True, especially if (as with most reviewers) your first Nightwish song is "Ghost Love Score." Definitely an Amy Lee vibe at the beginning. But when you hear her growl in "Yours is an Empty Hope," belt in "Romanticide," or hit impossibly high notes in "Poet and the Pendulum," you see she is capable of so much more. And then she breaks your heart doing "Shallow" or "Winner" at the Beste Zangers show... Floor can literally do it all!
@@pmasher Because they don't have any other well known reference point. May the God of Metal forgive them.
Hopefully... you'll listen more of them. And I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of people guiding you to find the best songs, and the songs really don't end, there's plenty where that came from. Take my sub, you deserve it by this meeting of a Nightwish song.
Them being symphonic metal allows them to take their music in several different directions. They have the long epic multipart full production type songs like Ghost Love Score, The Poet and the Pendulum or The Greatest Show on Earth.. Then they have several of the more classic thrash heavy metal style songs like Romanticide, Song of Myself or Dark Chest of Wonders.. They even have a very celtic rock sound going on in songs like E'lan or My Walden.. You chose, but the Nightwish Army loves it all..
The 56 dislikes are from you mentioning Amy Lee in the same sentence as Floor Jansen 😂
Amy is good too. Not as good as Floor but she showed to the world a style that people dont listen to. So we must respect their differences. Im sure Floor doesnt feel offended by being in the same sentence.
Anyone else looking up a ton of these reactions just to see people’s reaction to the ending?? XDDD
I ran across a nearly 3 hour long youtube viddy that had reactor after reactor doing their thing at the same 30 seconds of this song at that point. It was astounding that are so many reactors. Since then I have seen several reactors who were not on that video compilation. Sadly I cannot find it now.
You have now opened the box, enjoy :) Great reaction.
He will definitely react to more Nightwish because already within 2 days, this video has by far more views than any of the others on his channel. Good ol' Nightwish army doing what we do!
yes nightwish.thanks for reaction....
I actually really enjoyed your reaction. I have only been a fan of Nightwish for just over 18 months, having been lead into the Symphonic Rabbit-Hole when I heard 'Exit Eden ' recorde a rendition of Visage's 'Fade to Grey' ( I am old enough to be a New Romantic from the very early 80's) , and suddenly I am confronted with NW!! They have quickly become my favourite band, and Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen) my favourite singer. Her range is incredible and has taken the band to a whole new level. I would like to subscribe if you promise to react to more of their material. Anything 'live' after 2013 will include her fantastic vocals. Take care
There's more coming. No doubt
I see Gabriel gave you the background info. He is a great guy. He is very knowledgeable. I subbed because I get to feel the way I did when I discovered them. It was about 5 years ago when I was 61. It was the best thing I ever did. When you see them perform or listen to their music they bring out such emotions in you. One thing for sure you will never know what to expect when you hear one of there songs for the first time. Take care and stay safe........
Hey Ann! What do you think of the new songs they released for Human Nature?
Hey Lisanne! I love them. I am even more anxious to hear the rest. I am sorry that some people don't like them. Maybe they will change their minds after they hear the rest........ Take care and stay safe....
@@fdsannie I had to get used to Noise but now that I have: looooooove it! I hope you're healthy, much love.😘
Hi Ann! Let me see if I got this right - Tarja was in it when Nightwish was formed back in 1996. Anette had to audition (send in a Demo Tape) before she became the Vocalist. Floor got called up (at her sisters wedding?) and asked if she could fly over to the US and cover as the Vocalist?
I myself only discovered Nightwish a short while back. I am from Sweden but I moved to Ireland in 2003 (work) so I completely missed Nightwish'es rise to fame at that time. Trying my best to catch up now... Cheers / B
@@mbo191 Just a couple of things. You are right about Tarja. She was let go from the band in 2005. The End of an Era concert was her last one with Nighwish. You were right about Anette, but she was let go. They did call Floor at her sisters wedding. There is a documentary called Please learn this playlist in 48 hours . It will explain all that happened then. I think you will find out a lot of info. ua-cam.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/v-deo.html I hope this will help......... Stay safe...
You've stumbled across the greatest band on Earth - well done! Keep the NightWish coming dude, I've sub'd just on that alone. Work your way through this Wacken show, then you can move onto Wembley, Tampere and Buenos Aires - it's all awesome as they are untouchable live 🤘
"I would say more but I don't know how to explain it." God I love being there! Such a wonderful place from which to start.
Regarding your comment on 3 different songs with the same rhythm, this is one of the reasons it is called Ghost Love SCORE! Your eyes told the story on that last high note from the Queen of symphonic metal, Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen). Most fans will suggest to check out "Romanticide" next from this same Wacken 2013 show. This will give you a taste of the heavier side of Nightwish. See link below. Can you hear the rolling thunder? That would be the Nightwish army on the march and heading your way with tons of suggestions and support for your reaction channel. See you for the next one and until then be well and stay safe my friend.
ua-cam.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/v-deo.html - Romanticide
She's so immensely perfect that most don't even notice how excellent the other performers are, who, let's face it, are absolutely bringing their A-Game (helped by the fact that the song itself is epic and very complex)
helloooo, welcome to the world of Nightwish do more Nightwish and your channel will explode, my fav. ? glad you asked, do Romanticide same show at Wacken, intro chorus verse solo verse chorus ?? lol forget it thats not Nightwish, i subbed you ...more info. will follow as the whole Nightwish Army will stumble in, grts from the dutch cheesehead living in Germany, member of the Nightwish Army, orange legion .... have a nice day and stay safe !
It's true, look at the other reaction channels. I subbed to all of them with NW. Now they all have thousands of subs.
Always great to see a Floorgasm :D the end note is a killer. Greetings from Finland :)
You feel that you’ve listened to the best Rock/Metal female vocalist of all time.
Love your reaction. Looking forward to see more reactions on Nightwish. You have a long journey to go. Just listen to the live ones. From Wacken 2013 till now there are 43 songs live to react to, all just as good as Ghost Love Score. I advice next one Romanticide From Wacken 2013.
they have new drummer now, Kai Hahto... man is awesome.
Tuomas, who plays those brilliant keys is as well the one who composes/writes most of their music. I find that each member of Nightwish is very talented at what they do and give it their all when they are doing it.
Same here,know them for over a year now,love them! Try story time,song of myself,both from wacken 2013 the whole concert is amazing💖
You have just begun the journey, with so much versatility yet to be seen from this incredible group. Song of Myself, Storytime, Ghost River, pretty much anything will be incredible. For some incredible musicianship, check out their rendition of Pink Floyds' High Hopes. Cheers!
Thank you for this reaction, welcome to the nightwish family, enjoy the journey and stay safe during these crazy times.
The music is called symphonic metal and is very populair in Europe and South America. The band is from Finland and founded in 1996. So far the band has had 3 vocalists
1 Tarja Turunen (Finish) pure opera voice also very good live. (until 2005)
2 Anette Olzon (Swedish) more pop style. fine in the studio but not good live. (until 2012)
3 Floor Jansen* (Dutch) (current). * She is the vocalist you saw in this clip. She has a classical vocal background education and can sing any style she likes from jazz to opera high to growling low. Believe me when i tell you you have not even scratched the surface yet of what she's capable of.
Band members
Tuomas Holopainen (The keyboard player and creative mind behind the band. He writes about 95% of the music and lyrics)
Marco Hietela (the viking with the long beard (Bass and vocals)
Jukka "Julius" Nevalainen (The drummer)
Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen (the hobbit like guitar player)
Troy Donockley ( a person who did not play on this song but is a multi instrumentalist from the UK)
The clip was shot a few months after Floor jointed the band right in the middle of their US leg of the world tour. They asked her to join after tensions between the previous (Anette) vocalist and the rest of the band had rissen so high that they fired her. With close to a year still to go to complete the tour, and their next concert planned 2 day later they, needed a replacement fast. They called Floor because she had toured with them when she was part of the support bands"After Forever" and later "Revamp" on several occasions and they were quiet impressed by her vocals (who would not be?). She only had 2 days, including a flight from the Netherlands to the US, to learn the setlist and only had one rehearsal with the band a couple of hours before her first show and nailed it. Since they were making a documentary about the world-tour a lot of what happened was recorded. The documentary is called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" (ua-cam.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/v-deo.html )
As a next song to take a look at i would recommend their masterpiece "The poet and the pendulum" live at Wembley. Before you take a look at it i would recommend to take a look at the backstory of this song. This will make you appreciate it much more. here is the link ua-cam.com/video/gbn9GczYBkw/v-deo.html
BTW that last note she just sang? Nightwish fans created a whole new word for when she does something impressive like that. We call it a Floorgasm. Welcome to the club and boy are you going to receive a lot of traffic on your channel. ;-)
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish : ) . I hope you will continue your journey into this amazing band.
I find it most interesting, these initial reactions to Nightwish. Those that value great music know it when they hear it. Their reaction in my words for them is "This is the music I have loved my entire life and I am just now hearing it for the first time".
Great reaction! You stumbled on to something new and enjoyed it. Just like me a while back. I listened to After Forever, the former band of Floor Jansen, 20 years ago. And still have them in my playlist. But Nightwish is the ultimate symphonic metal band. Their compositions are versatile and genius. Some of of their songs are split up in multiple parts, so awesome (the Poet & the Pendulum, The Greatest Show On Earth, etc). And other songs have definite celtic influences (Elan, Alpenglow, I want my tears back). And there is heavier stuff, like Romanticide, Song of Myself, Last Ride of the Day, Ghost River. Now they 3 amazing singers in the band, Floor, Marko the bassist and Troy who plays all kinds of instruments who brings the celtic fibe. Stick to live performanced. F.i from Wacken 2013, Wembley 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018. Great audio and video. I will always watch your reactions to Nightwish. Have fun with them!
Basically anything from that 2013 wacken concert is amazing...
You have taken your first step into a larger world ;).
Ah - the Amy Lee reference... that's what a small reference pool does to you (no criticism here, my pool used to be pretty shallow way back when and it *is* shallow on some genres and topics ;) ), and she's not *bad* but ...Floor Jansen is... better? superior? supreme? ah let's just fix with she *is* *The Valkyrie* ;).
I'll leave you with my little gospel of advice here:
Route one: "Nightwish in concert" => see more videos of the 2013, 2015 and 2016 concerts, sampling the energy and inherent differences.
Route two: "The Magnum Opus Route" => you started with the *least* of those, "Ghost Love Score - 2013 Wacken", continue through the greatness, diversity and darkness of "The Poet and the Pendulum - 2015 Wembley" to the crowning magnificence and all the "longue durée par excellence"-glory of "The Greatest Show on Earth - Tampere 2016".
Then (or starting with it) go through the awesome but lesser songs, sample the diversity => listen to the folksy sad sea shanty of the other magnificent vocalist of the band in "The Islander - Tampere 2016", hear him in the morbidly beautiful "While your Lips are still red - Wembley 2015" , sample the wrist-full melancholy of "Èlan - Wembley 2015", the glorious optimism of "Alpenglow" in the same concert, hear Floor growl in "Yours is an empty Hope" in the Tampere 2016 concert, enjoy the soaring beauty of "Sleeping Sun" in the same concert and submerge yourself in the profound melancholy of "Nemo"in the Wacken 2013 concert.
There is much to enjoy, trust me (and all the others here - don't just follow *my* overly flowery written advice ;) ).
Best regards
Raoul G. Kunz
Ghost Love Score, the Poet and the Pendulum, Song of Myself.... Really, at some point I've GOT to hear your impressions on their song "The Greatest Show on Earth" live. It's truly a masterpiece.
Enjoy your Nightwish journey. It only gets better from here brother. It's great music to keep your mind off this quarantine we're all in
Welcome to the NW experience: they are the kameleon of metal. Suggestions will be made by others. But you will like every single one of them.
Thx for your cool reaction!
Usually the comparison with Amy Lee , if it comes, is at the beginning of the song, by the end it is clear to everyone that while Amy is really good, Floor is in a league of her own, not only as a singer but as a performer with her unique powerful stage presence. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish and Floor HOOPSICK! 🤟✌️
"I have never heard a nightwish song before"... And he is hooked 😁😁😁😁😁
Dude, Next react to Nightwish: Storytime Live from wacken 2013!!!!
14:53 - Floor releases the crowd from her spell.
Oh yeah! Plenty to listen to starting with the same concert, Romanticide and Song of Myself are two heavy classics! Thanks for the reaction!
Welcome, and thanks for this great reaction. Looks like you just experienced your first Floorgasm. Oh man...you're gonna be overwhelmed with all kind of suggestions for Nightwish songs. I would recommend The Poet and The Pendulum, live at Wembley. But actually, it doesn't matter which sing you take, just make sure it's a live version.
Hi David, I enjoyed listening to your reaction to GLS. You should definitely react more to Nightwish's 'Storytime', 'Romanticide', 'Everdream', etc, etc, ..... too many to mentioned. Looking forward to your coming reactions to Nightwish, with Floor, the most versatile singer in the universe. Stay safe in these harsh times with greetings from The Netherlands.
“He looks like Brett Hart.”
Well now I can never unsee that.
"Lead guitarist looks like Bret Hart." I've been waiting years for a reactor to say that! Thumbs up!
Absolutely! Nightwish is a great band. I’ve seen this performance many times and it never gets old. Beyond epic performance!! Floor is such an amazing singer.
That was a real Floorgasm, congrats
And so much songs to explore.
Any live song will do.
Keep them coming I am a follower
"Is there more Nightwish-songs I should react to?" Yeah, I'd say 25 maybe 🤣👍
well, with the new album included it would be about 9 albums worth of songs instead of just 25
@@thensho You're right but I was thinking that reacting to over 100 songs would be too much to ask for :)
with this reaction you have obtained a ticket where you will not forget the trip. have fun :) Nightwish army Germany
The songs are written by the keyboardist, Tuomas Holopainen. He sends his compositions to the London Symphony Orchrstra, and they perform the backing symphonics, the rest is done by keyboards and the rest of the band. Floor is their third singer, after Tarja and Annette.
Hi from the UK nightwish have had three singers
1 tarja turunen (the siren) check out nightwish phantom of the opera
2 anette Olsen (the pixie) check out bye bye beautiful official music video don't get fooled it is nightwish
3 floor Jansen (the valkyrie) currently singing with nightwish check out

Nightwish high hopes
The nightwish army will soon be arriving at the door lol
The song Everdream starts out softer but has an epic ending. I want my tears back is a great concert song. Yours is an empty hope, Floor growls In that song (from a diff concert). The greatest show on earth is like 20 mins long. The list goes on and on! Please react to Storytime next 💕
They've recently released 3 tracks from the new album. 1 Symphonic metal, 1 folk, and 1 Disneyesque soundtrack. Nightwish do not do what people expect them to do. The keyboard parts are good because Tuomas the keyboardist and bandleader, writes all the songs.
Someone has just summoned the Nightwish army, they'll be here soon...nice reaction and welcome to the symphonic metal world...keep em coming!
Yeah >> Nightwish - Ghost Love Score. Your reaction when Floor hits those high notes at the end is priceless.....lol Now watch the rest of their stuff >>> you will be Floored.
Floor Yahn-sen (she's Dutch) is 6-1 in bare feet, 6-5 in the boots she's wearing here...she's into working out (check the arms and shoulders) audience of 82,000....the keyboardist is Tuomas Holopainen, who writes the music, lyrics, arranges everything, and a co-founder of the band....this was the 13th of a 15 song show....Nightwish makes Evanessence sound like a bar band....Nightwish has 5 concert videos on DVD, which I own all of
Welcome to the journey you are about to undertake! It will be quite an experience! Nightwish is extremely versatile and range in such a huge range of genres from softer, folky/Celtic to symphonic and heavy metal!
It all depends on what you want to hear next!
For something heavier , most people go with Romanticide live at Wacken (highly recommended start)
But theres sooo many good songs, always try to go live with Nightwish as Floor is just such a story teller in her stage presence.
Recommend after Romanticide 'song of myself ' 'ever dream' 'storytime ' to start off on and then 'the greatest show on earth' (live at tampere) and sleeping sun (live at tampere) and check out the new song off the new album getting released next week 'Noise' (probably before the greatest show)
Have a good trip! 🤘
When you placed your hand on your mouse, I totally freaked out. I was like "don't you dare to pause it, don't you dare!"
that was a great NATURAL reaction, a lot of times I suspect the reviewer has already heard the song they are reviewing before, many times probably, even tho' they try and get you to believe this was the first time they had 'heard' it, but your was a completely natural reaction from someone who obviously was listening to it for the 'first'; time, well done.
Welcome to your first trip on the Nightwish journey.
Ghst Love Score is a perfect start for this. From here you can explore so many different faces of Nightwish and of Floor. One big difference between Floor and Amy is her enormous range: From Opra, over Pop, Rock to Metal including heavy growls.
Some suggestions for next stops:
Everdream / Storytime (both WackenFestival 2013) for the less heavy songs.
Romanticide / Last Ride of the Day (both Wacken) for the heavier stuff.
Yours an Empty Hope (Wembley - Have a look who's growling)) / Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean (Buenos Aires) for the more metal side.
Maybe a bit later the two very epic songs:
The Poet and The Pendulum (Wemble - read the storyehinfd it first) / The Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere)
Apart from that Floor solo at "Beste Zangers" (a DutchTV show "Best Singers" where singers sing songs for each other):
"The Phantom of the Opera"together with Henk Poort
"Shallow"Floors very sensual version of this song by Lady Gaga
Have fun!
Greetz from Germany
I'm a sub now.. love nightwish❤ and some other stuff you react on already so i'm here to stay. Your stunnig face reaction on the end.. 🤣🤣🤣💪we got him in💪
One of the best reaction vids of Nightwish I've seen. Well thought comments and not too many pauses :)
Great reaction video! More nightwish please! Floor is a goddess! Just an fyi, pausing isn't necessary for most of the nightwish catalogue.
Thanks for nice reation ❤Floor Jansen & nightwish ❤
It helps that the keyboardist actually writes these songs :D
I'm a simple girl, I see a Nightwish reaction video, I smash like.
I can't experience them for the first time again, but seeing others do so is almost as good.
I’ve watched the entire Live at Wacken 2013 show on here/ so full of energy, epic and amazing!
Welcome to the world of Nightwish bud! Cheers and great to meet ya, I would recommend to do another Nightwish tune but now you gotta try the double of UA-cam shock vids(well, not shocking to like us metal fans but you will still get pumped on it) with the Jinjer-Pisces(live sessions) reaction if you can. \m/
This particular song is a Score, so it changes up multiple times and goes in all sorts of directions..
Dude, gotta say I didn't notice it at first, but second time through I caught it. I was focusing on just your eyes, you went from kind of like, "alright, interesting", to the point where Floor was pulling you in, transitioning to being totally bought in, until the end where you experienced your Floorgasm. It was all in your eyes man. It can't be helped, she pulls you in. She is just a presence on stage, physically and vocally. You can't help but be caught up in the songs she sings. The band and Floor really feed off each other so well. They push each other higher and higher. That band plays so tight in the pocket and her voice just cuts through so well and she can change from one genre style of singing to another and bridge it so well with the band. Some fans call her a "Valkyrie", but to me she is like a "Siren". You can't help but be drawn in to that voice. Just being a regular dude myself, it's tough to admit this, but the very first time I seen this video, I found my eyes watering up. Still does sometimes. I'm marked for life by this performance. That'show deep it went. I was almost like that girl in the video just lost in the moment. LOL!
Love Nightwish!!! This is a softer Nightwish, usually a good place to start if u never heard the band before. Try Romanticide or Ghost River from the same concert.
Loved your reaction and honest feelings- congrats and have fun with what comes next. :)
Floooooooooor!!!!Daaaaaaamn!!!The end is EPIC but her voice...jeez!Everything she does in this "play" is beyond words.Welcome to Nightwish!!!
Welcome to Nightwish! This epic band will take you through an emotional roller-coaster ride. The keyboard player, Tomas, who writes the majority of their songs is a musical modern-day Mozart. His compositions and song transitions are masterfully arranged. The other band players are great musicians also adding to the Nightwish sound in a perfect blend of harmony. Last but not least the singer, Floor Jansen, who is the third singer in the band. Well I could say a great deal about her but any praises would not do her justice. And I think it would serve you well to experience it for yourself without any biased opinions. And to guide you in the right direction you should watch/listen to any songs from their live shows from Waken 2013, Buenos Aires 2018, Tampere 2015 and the show called "Beste Zangers" during which Floor displays her talent singing in different vocal styles and languages. You have opened the door to and experience like no other. I'm not saying this just to flap my gums. I'm in my 50's, been a hard core metal head most of my life, heard many great bands and great singers. But I've never been star struck until I've heard Floor sing for the fist time about a year ago
Floor is the third female lead singer. She is our 6"1 Goddess or Valkyrie. This also her third band the first band she was background singer and then moved to lead singer . She was 16 when she started but was about 18 to 20 yrs. old. Wait until she starts growling in "Yours is an empty hope".Empuu did the solo, Marco is the bassist and he also sings. The drummer quit about 2014 or 15 because of insomnia. Tuomas the key boardist writes 98 percent of all the songs.Floor is in excellent shape she tries to work out when she gets a chance.
