    Hello Alpha and Omega Reactions ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us.
    Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing at Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K+ audience.
    About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
    As I saw, you enjoyed the powerful performance of the band. Hope you'll continue on this path.
    Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
    " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
    Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist 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 "
    Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory):

    @Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or this version of the whole concert: ua-cam.com/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/v-deo.html
    Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
    The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
    @Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

    Most Americans reference the Amy Lee vibes. No worries. It is what we have been fed in The States. Most females are diva pop singers. You will find that there are only a couple of things Amy and Floor have in common. Both like to were black and both are beautiful dark haired women who tend to sing songs with emotional and moving melodies. However, Floor sounds like this live without the aid of autotuning and rarely is left gasping for breath and straining to hold out ever word to the end of the phrase. Amy is amazing in the studio, however live she has difficulty sustaining her breath control and is a bit pitchy. Evanescence is wonderful and powerful on their studio recordings. Live in my opinion leaves a little bit to be desired. On the other hand Nightwish' studion recording are very good, but live they are a whole new experience. In my opinion, this is a dark romantic lost love song. Wanting to be reunited in death with a love so deep you are willing to give up your life for reunion on the other side. Tuomas, (keys) is the main composer of music and lyrics for Nightwish. Influenced by poetry and movie soundtracks. The beauty of poetry is we can each find our own interpretation of the meaning of the song.

    • @Thorgrim247
      @Thorgrim247 2 роки тому +3

      @@AGDinCA I am happy to hear that my friend. I really love Amy's music. Perhaps she has been working on her breath control. Her melodic writing has usually pushed her very hard vocally in the studio. Some singers and their producers don't take into account the demands on the human voice to perform these songs live night after night. It is not something to be taken for granted. This is also why many great singers as the age cannot sing their own songs very well when performing live. All the more reason to praise singers who can do it. Floor unlike most vocalists is amazing and her ability to sing long and sustained phrasing throughout an entire metal performance. Even the greats tend to cut their phrasings and sustained notes performing live verses their studio recordings. Not to mention that in the studio they have the convenience of taking separate attempts at the longer sustained notes and the help of studio wizardry and technology. Great for Amy however from what I have heard her band also lacks a little in the reproduction of their sound on record. Probably not their fault, just hard to reproduce the production used on Evanescence records. Be well.

      Well stated, Stephen, from a couple of aged senior citizens and passionate NW fans of three years, from the great high desert of southeast Arizona. In all our years we've never experienced someone with such a remarkable singing talent. In Floor you get so much more like very captivating stage presence and the way she captures the emotional essence of each song. She is also now blessed to be teamed with the tightest symphonic metal band on the planet and their remarkable composer and arranger, our Metal Mozart, Tuomas. We think our newest reactor is going to enjoy his journey with NW and we've subscribed to follow him. Stay safe and enjoy the ride.

    Hi, I remember recommending Nightwish to you months and months ago. I'm glad you've found some time to listen to them. Please continue to explore their discography, as they will give you something new every time, be it new styles, new instruments, new voices, etc. You won't get bored easily. Have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for more info about the band and a list full of song suggestions. Enjoy, greetings from the Netherlands

Dat zegt niets want die van Gabriel leerde ik ook pas kennen nadat Ann Waychoff was overleden. Ik denk dat jij dan wel weet over wie ik het heb.

    Great reaction.
    Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of almost four octaves (D3-G#5-F6). When listening to her sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres and is a Master vocal coach. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.

    Think of Nightwish as the band where Wagner, Bach, Hans Zimmer and John Williams meet Mettalica, Iron Maiden and Pantera. Its an all star cast led by one of the greatest composers of our time, Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) and fronted by one of the greatest singers of our time. Welcome and enjoy, because there are no two similar songs. And Symphonic metal is basically classical music with electronics and electricity.
    PS: Floor Jansen is highly skilled and trained singer who is also a vocal coach. Classicaly trained who can sing anything she wants…. This is basically 30% of what she can do.

      And that was just ticket sales and was limited to that number - I've worked a festival over several years (I met my wife doing so) and putting on a festival of this size in what are cattle pastures the rest of the year takes an absolute army of workers and volunteers, merchants, caterers, labourers, security, backstage hospitality, amusements, electricians, plumbers, scaffolders, riggers, technicians of all kinds, fire marshals, first aid - the list is endless and accounts for probably several more thousand pass holders.
      Wacken Open Air is THE European metal festival - there are others, but Wacken is the one that stands above all others for consistency and most metal bands would give a kidney just to play, never mind headline there. To put it in context, Alice Cooper warmed up for Nightwish on the adjacent stage, then as headliners, Nightwish had exclusivity, with no other stage active (I think there were five, plus a few more relaxed venues, that year), and they closed the show. Well, who could follow that?
      So with no following performance to prepare for, most pass holders would also have been in the audience.

    A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰
    This is Symphonic Metal, the merge of symphony and metal - something you are not familiar with in the US. But it is huge in the rest of the world.
    It's only the top of the top of musicians, singers and composers that master this genre. It's complexed compositions, with deep deep poetic lyrics - and in this case - the most versatile, powerful and skilled singer in the galaxy.
    This is approx 10 - 12% of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities - not kidding!!!
    This is storytelling on another level, performed by 6 incredible talented people, working so tight to enhance the experience of each song, to ensure that the crowd gets the ultimate experience of each song.
    Look out for Gabriel Bardac - he will give you a "brief" intro to Nightwish..
    Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘
    Enjoy the journey into this magical adventure...

    Greetings and welcome to Nightwish and symphonic metal.
    I hear the marching feet of the Nightwish Army!!!
    Unfortunately, the 6 foot, Dutch Goddess of all things vocal, Floor Jansen (yan•sen), was acquired almost a year before this performance because their previous singer, Anette Olzon, was fired from the band late September 2012 during this same world tour. So none of the songs she performed up until 2015 were recorded with her on a studio album.
    Her first studio recording as a member of Nightwish was for the 2015 album "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" and her second was "Human Nature" released in April last year.
    They are currently touring Europe in support of Human Nature and will be in the United States in May 2022.
    Don't get me wrong, I say "unfortunately" because I too would love to hear her voice in the studio recordings of these songs, however, founder and keyboard player, Tuomas Holopainen, already stated that the studio recordings will remain as is in respect of the previous singers and as much as the band may or may not admit that Floor is the best thing to happen to Nightwish, that's not going to change.
    You are going to love this journey. The rabbit hole goes deep, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.
    I'm only half way through your video....
    Let's continue. lol
    Well, the Army encourages you to follow Gabriel's blueprint. He will be your guide down the rabbit hole, and according to Gabriel, I think it's time for a little story....
    It's definitely "Storytime".

    The obligatory Evanescence comparison…I’m not going to roast you for that, but some may, unfortunately. As a fellow American, I can relate to having no other point of reference for what you’re hearing than Amy Lee, but I think you’ll find as you listen to more of Nightwish’s music that there is quite a distance between them. Floor has much more range and versatility. The band, too, is very diverse in their sound… no two of their songs really sound alike, but all are good. From this same Wacken 2013 show, I’d recommend Song of Myself, Storytime, Romanticide, and Everdream to get started further down the rabbit hole.

    Hmm, careful with the E-word comparisons - for some reason people get riled up when Floor is compared with Amy. I'm sure Floor doesn't care and as far as I'm concerned I put it down to only having heard 1 small 5% of what Floor can do.
    If Gabriel hasn't been yet he will soon and will give some guidance if you wish to continue the journey but be warned once you dive down the rabbit warren you may just get deeper and deeper and never escape.
    Once the Valkyrie Queen gets you you're lost.
    You have yet to hear Marko, the bassist, sing. One of the best male metal singers currently. Unfortunately he left the band back in January fir health reasons but listen to Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, Romanticide or several others, to hear him with Floor. What a combination.
    Tuomas writes complex music and his lyrics are almost always very important to the song. You picked up on that - kudos!

    Great reaction! 👍🤘
    Greetings from the UK! Info dump for you below!😁
    Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best and most versatile female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal herself Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Floor is a classically trained soprano and has a vocal range of more than 3 octaves (D3 to F6+).
    Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had (and my personal favourite), she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today.
    The other vocalists are -
    Tarja Turunen - (1996-2005) - (Finland) - Very operatic focused vocals.
    Anette Olzon - (2007-2012) - (Sweden) - More pop-centric vocals.
    Floor Jansen - (2012-Present) - (Netherlands) - Extremely diverse vocals, from deep growls to full on opera.
    The other band members are/were -
    Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland)
    Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland)
    Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland)
    Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Retired in 2014 due to health issues
    Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom)
    Kai Hahto - Drums (Finland) - 2014 to Present
    Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious goldmine of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff (including 2 other bands, After Forever & ReVamp) that she has done that is all pretty amazing as well. She is also an absolutely lovely, funny, smart and grounded person (in fact all the band members are exceedingly down to earth individuals). She has her own channel here on UA-cam where she regularly posts covers of songs.
    The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter/composer and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen.
    The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is extremely varied.
    The "Symphonic" backing tracks of their music is composed in the majority by Tuomas and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
    This was the 13th song in this particular set, Floor is belting notes like that the entire set.
    Nighwish are almost always better experienced with live versions of their songs if at all possible.
    Most new reactors are better off sticking with the Wacken 2013 set to begin with as it offers a taste of a lot of what Nightwish has to offer, they have multiple concerts though all of which are superb.
    Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Romanticide, Storytime, Ghost River, I Wish I had an Angel, Song of Myself, Ever Dream, Dark Chest of Wonders, I Want My Tears Back and Amaranth all from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vacken).
    Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance.
    Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version.
    Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make a lot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way.
    Prepare for the Nightwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘

    Welcome to the world of symphonic metal, Nightwish, and The Queen Herself, Floor Jansen (pronounced YAHN-sen.) Symphonic metal has been huge in Europe and S. America for a long time and is finally catching on in North America. You are in for a great ride, my friend, if you choose to come along. I suggest looking at Gabriel's roadmap and also like to suggest Storytime, from this same concert (Wacken 2013) for your next NW venture. Floor is gonna blow your doors off.

    Welcome to the phenomenal band that Nightwish is! Your face said it all haha. Please continue reacting to them as there is so much to discover! If I may give you a tip..when you pause use the left arrow on your keyboard to back 5 sec, if you then continue the song flows more. New sub here. Take care and greetings from the Netherlands!

    haha, yeah,, in that one comment you summed it up, you are in for an epic adventure. They put 1000% of effort, energy, skill, and persona into each and every one of their songs and concert performances, and be assured it will continue with each song, they do folk, metal, rock, pop, ballad, ethnic, and production numbers and each is unique. I'm sure Martine, Gabriel, Coyote and others will guide your journey, just sit back and enjoy the trip, you won't be disappointed, LOL

    Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish!
    Their musical style can be called symphonic metal, they didn’t invent it but are the biggest and best known band in that genre. Unfortunately, in metal music, it’s a marginal metal style. So no wonder if you haven’t heard of it before.
    Are they big? Yes in this metal style. When the first and last virtual gigs of their careers took place in May of this year, there were over 150,000 of us ticket buyers from 108 countries.
    Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) is the main composer and lyricist. A story emerges in his mind, he himself says he hears it as music. Then the band tells it through music and lyrics, like you just saw and heard. And the feeling is the same as reading a good book, you never know what will happen in the next chapter of the book ... It keeps the music interesting all the time.
    That’s why none of the musicians are on stage showing how good he / she is at playing, but how well together they are able to tell the story to you.
    And as you probably noticed, the story took you ...: D
    Ten minutes, and time didn't feel that long at all! Most of the time, it feels like ‘Nightwish’s songs could be even longer. Although on average they are about 6-8 minutes long. The longest is a 31-minute orchestral work, the London Philharmonic Orchestra as musicians.

    Welcome to the adventure. Night wish is a band that sounds better LIVE than studio versions.Yes, their studio albums are exceptional, but the live concerts really show just how great this band is. They get their energy from the audience. This 15 song concert is a prime example of that. No two songs are the same, and each song is equal or better than the last one. Glad you reacted to this. You won't regret it!!

    Ha Amy & EV wish they were this good ,I have listened to both for about 20yrs, if only the idiots in the N.American music media/industry knew what they where missing.
    hey Alpha and Omgea great reaction ! and Welcome to the best band and female vocalist of our time, I know bold statement but if you take the journey you will understand ,the YT fan base is massive,passionate & very active, 80% of which is for the Floor era,she stepped in Oct 2012 ,and has been their 3rd,current & "Final" vocalist ,GLS is the epitome of Symphonic Metal with more of a classical influence as is many of their compositions but many from this concert are much heavier ,also GLS is the most reacted to song on YT ever with several vocal coaches having over 2.5 Million views .But this was but a very small taste of what Floor & NW has in store for you.
    **there are 2 pivotal events since Floor Jansen came aboard NW in late 2012 #1 Wacken 2013 - #2 Beste Zangers 2019 at this popular Dutch tv show filmed on Ibiza some top Dutch singers past & present get together and the person on the center couch for the day has one of their songs or a song that has meaning to them sung back to them reinterpreted by the other singers,novel idea .
    Floor opened the show with the 1st song below and just blew everyone's mind,only two of the other singers knew who Floor was but none of them had heard her sing with such versatility,after the 8 day run of the show Floor's & NW's popularity soared,stadiums filled up and ticket sales shot up.btw since Floor joined NW & after this show NW's fan base has tripled . on Mama by Samantha S.Floor completely changes the tempo and song structure ,the song is about Samantha wanting to be more like her Mom, Que Se Siente by Rolf is originally a merenge ,mambo type song so of course Floor does it her way,Winner by Tim A. he wrote for his brother who has Spina Bifida,
    About Love ,Ruben wrote about his parents divorce.

    I really hope that we are evolving as a evolving as a reactor reactor to the reactors....... And what I mean by that is I am very happy to see that some people are finally praising someone by not trashing someone else....... And people are right but sometimes the comparisons are not apples to apples to apples and we all have to remember that singing and music is an art form and what 1 person thinks is art another person May think something differently so it's almost pointless to argue the subjective........ I think a lot of these singers are like professional Athletes Because they all bring a different skill set to the table....... And they are all masters of their craft in their own unique way and style. And who we choose to listen to is our own individual preferences. lol... Rock on!!!

    I am a fellow American, and the same thoughts initially went through my head. Wow, 10 minutes, we Americans and our fast food and show me what you got, you have 3 minutes thinking. Once I started watching, damn this woman can sing, and with those heavy guitars and drums, Amy Lee or Evanescence. Just how our minds work after years of being deprived of real music and real singers. I liked and subbed my friend, and let me tell you, this woman and band are like nothing you ever heard before. Soon you will hear them with more normal 6 or 7 minute songs, and you will be like, that was great, just not long enough. You will also be like Amy who, and while I still like Amy and Evanescence, like comparing a steak, potato, and salad dinner to McDonalds. Gabriel Bardac, he is like the Nightwish Army's (which I consider myself now) unofficial greeter/messenger, take a couple minutes and read his suggestions/history, will serve you well if you take this wonderful journey, and I hope you do.

    Good first NW reaction Alpha but word of advice, I wouldn't bring up Amy Lee/Evanescence when doing NW reactions as the Nightwish Army doesn't take too kindly to the comparison. So if you get a few more dislikes than you expected that's mostly why. Oh and you'll definitively hear it in some comments too. Other than that your react was really good. Gabriel Bardac has the 411 on Nightwish as well as best links for future reacts for you, hopefully! I'll sub on your next NW react, BTW. 😉🙃

      Amy Lee is a very talented and skilled singer with a career to be proud of. But Floor is on another level. I don't blame him for bringing up the comparison, it's all he knows really as American, he's not introduced to this kind of music, from Europe. I blame the radio stations in the US. Plus, they typically mention Amy Lee at the start of GLS, when Floor hasn't shown more than about 23% of her potential.

    OK "Army"..."Air Force" here! Thanks for a great post & reaction. I've been listening to this band since the beginning of the pandemic (lockdown, etc.) and am totally hooked. The genre is called Symphonic Metal. The vocalist's name is Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen). She is Dutch. The band is based in Finland. This song (GLS for short) is the 13th song in a 15 song setlist and Wacken (Vahken), Germany and is part of an open air festival. Every song within the setlist is worth listening to. I've been around a while (say over 60 years) and haven't ever heard a better live band. Be prepared to have your channel invaded by another Army...the Nightwish Army. They are great folks and VERY Loyal to this band. Thanks again for a great post and keep the reactions coming. Subbing gladly to your channel. TC

All his songs are unique and excellent. 😀🤘 A good one to go from here is Storytime from the same concert: ua-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/v-deo.html

    You now heard some of the skills our 1.83m Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen has to offer as the third and present singer of Nightwish. She is the most versitale female singer of our time. Just wait when she gets in full Dutch Windmill mode with her hair. She added the ending herself and this song has become their anthem since. As I am a Flooraholic from Utrecht, The Netherlands, here is some background information on her. She joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. My favourite song is 'Energize Me'. They made a very beautiful music video out of that: ua-cam.com/video/fjm4BrNAf6s/v-deo.html
    Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also has some classical singing education, but not as much as you would expect when you hear her sing. 'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song, such as from full operatic to serious growls in seconds. The song 'Disdain' is a good example:
    ua-cam.com/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/v-deo.html
    Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ua-cam.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/v-deo.html
    The lyrics of the songs of Nightwish are very poetic and the music as a whole is very challenging, but Floor pulled it off and she stayed for the whole world tour, culminating is this iconic Wacken 2013 Open Air festival which set new standards in Open Air concerts. It was obvious that the match Nightwish and Floor was made in Walhalla, so she became a permanent member of the band as the relationship between Nightwish and Annette was strained even before she got ill. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp'for a couple of years, but it became clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see:: ua-cam.com/video/bAiPeSsqD-4/v-deo.html
    Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on UA-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa:, ua-cam.com/video/QqdvFPBGN0c/v-deo.html
    and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini: ua-cam.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/v-deo.html
    As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered UA-cam in the last year and a half and uploaded many interesting videos on her channel. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing this at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish:. ua-cam.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/v-deo.html
    Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of the presents she left there. Floorgasm alert! Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughter Freja (turned 4 years last march), a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.

    Another sol carried away by our Valkyrie goddess. Floor Jansen, pronounced Yan-sen, is the best female vocalist today. She can sing any genre, any style, from opera to growls. Nightwish is a very tight band and you will see this as you dive down the rabbit hole. Very enjoyable to watch live as they put on a hell of a show. Romanticide is a next good song. Subbed to join you on your Nightwish journey. Enjoy the ride.

      @@AlphaandOmegaReactions it is social media and it came across harder then i meant it. Most americans compare to Amy Lee because thats the reference they have. So sorry did not mean it the way it comes over on social media.

    You loved Nightwish - Ghost Love Score, then you should check out Last Ride Of The Day Live At Masters of Rock. Shorter song but it still will knock your socks off.
