Honestly surprised that Tatiana Shmayluk didn't show up a single time, considering how many reactions to Jinjer there are on youtube. But the fact that all three Nightwish frontwomen were floating around the top spots over the years, and both Tarja and Floor holding those top spots for so long shows just how great they are!
@@swankysweller With that line of thought, people would search for Nightwish, Within Temptation and Arch Enemy, not the respective vocalists either lol
Lovely to see how Tarja built tradition on the female metal scene. Also lovely to see how Sharon, Simone, Anneke and of course Floor always have been there for years and years. Definitely the world has been so fortunate to have had this incredible and talented women. I wish to start seeing Dianne Van G on this charts from now on ❤
@@noctusowl I'm so proud of them. I grew up with these women, I've been listening to some of them as early as six years old. To see how they take of finally is a great thing to experience.
If Lzzy Hale is considered metal, then we are missing Taylor Momsen and Amy Lee. And hoping someday the great Brittany Slayes from Unleash the Archers gets her just due!
There is no hard border between metal and hard rock. With songs like "Miss Nothing" it's hard to not recognise them as metal. At same way you could say Ozzy is not metal what could be completely wrong. While Halestorm sounds for me more pop than metal or rock. And this list is crap when no include even Jinger but include jpop
Underrated is the most overrated word. No, Anneke is not underrated. Unknown is a better word. The ones who do know about her, recognize her talent. So she is not underrated at all, she is just unknown by a larger audience. But unknown is not the same as underrated. So again: Underrated is the most overrated word.
@@alejandroruiz87 its intresting how she was there from the very beginning and got in and out of the list, and then boom just decimating the field in 2012-13
is shocking how TARJA remain on tops of the list for 19 fucking years straight, she is like the michael jackson female metal voice on the music industry
This is a ranking of internet searches, so Tarja probably gets a boost from Floor's immense popularity: people hear Floor, discover Nightwish, and then get curious about the band. (I discovered her in exactly that roundabout way.) Both women, of course, have the advantage of singing Tuomas' compositions.
lol@@jpdemer5 Tuomas had the advantage of forming a band with Tarja and Emppu and picking up Jukka and Sami right after. I liked Floor 20 years ago, but her old band was short-lived, exhausting artistic potential, and never that successful (even tho they have some total masterpieces). I actually forgot about her for almost 5 years. I never forget about Tarja, as opera is my thing and led me to NW, and I liked her both as a Nightwish and solo metal singer, and as a classical stage performer. Both women can showcase their skills no matter what material they work on. If Tuomas didn't have Tarja and Emppu to perform his compositions he would remain maybe a richer but not so famous ghost writer for other artists ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@KenjaTimu you think so? that girl has been reciving nothing but hate for some "true metal fans" for years now. Thank god, the metal world. fans and legends alike, recived her with opens arms yet those haters are loud as fuck. I dont think is condescending to put her alongside legends like Tarja and Floor at all. As i said, its a well earned victory for Su, and a big FUCK YOU to those "true metal fans" that are still out there hating her, without giving her a chance.
Was interesting how Su came out of nowhere and shot up to at one point number 1 and stayed around the top 5 since she entered. Also Lizzy Hale making so many comebacks
@Huh I don't understand what you're upset about here. I just said Su was an underdog. And not all the singers on here are symphonic metal either. Lacey Sturm from Flyleaf and Lzzy Hale from Halestorm are in here too.
Surprised that Lori Lewis, Tatiana Shmayluk, Melissa Bonny, Diana van Giersbergen, Heike Langhans, Clemetine Delauney and Asami never appeared. But glad that Anneke van Giersbergen and Marcela Bovio popped up. Also glad about Suzuka's (Su-Metal) strong performance.
Tarja and Floor with great music, Sharon with a beautiful voice and Suzuka with a metal concept different from other bands, a different language and amazing acts and stages. These three bands are my favourites.
I think the only reason she isn't bigger is because she's fronting a project that is extremely unique and sings mostly in japanese. If they had more songs in all english or if they were simply pure metal/rock I think it be a different story. Ramstein is a good example. I know a lot of people who don't know german who listen and love the band but they are a single genre and don't straddle 2 worlds like BM.
I don't even think she is a metal singer. I think she is a pop singer fronting a pseudo metal band. Pretty decent range, no distortion and no vibrato at all. Nothing to land her on a top metal singer list that excludes Tatiana Shmayluk.
@@Paul-jj5wyshe's a metal singer because her peculiar timbre let her sing on pretty heavy music without being overwhelmed, but yeah, she cannot scream, her voice is too clear. Her duets with Halford show that, she can easily reach all the notes, but it's like playing metal on an acoustic guitar😅. BTW, she has a wider range now, she's stronger in the lower range, but she has some holes, she's aware of that and carefully avoid those notes. Anyway most of the women here are Opera singers and she's in that range. 🤘🏻🦊⚡
@@Paul-jj5wy Just like Tarja Turunen, Floor Jansen, Simone Simons or Anette Olzon have been always considered as metal singers, SU-METAL is indeed a metal singer. BABYMETAL is a metal group (not a band, the three girls don't play even if Moa can play th guitar) because they are defined this way, their music is metal and they use many of the folklore of this genre.
I am shocked by the fact that Tatiana Shmayluk from Jinjer is not on this chart. It is a tragedy. She is one of the greatest female singers of all time.
Or a world tour (Babymetal). Or a pandemic lockdown related boost to (metal) music reaction channels all over the world who kinda simultanously reacted to one single band (Floor since 2020). Floor was my no.1 since the early 2000s, but it's got quite a lot to do with being at the right place at the right time.
@@olgahein4384 I totally relate with you! I met Floor in 2004 with After Forever and I have followed her career since then. She has been my favorite singer of all times. With Tarja I wanted sing Opera but Floor showed me that everything is possible. I really miss the heaviest Floor before Nightwish but she still is my number 1
Tarja Turunen is the Icon, Sharon den Adel, Simone Simons, Allissa White-Gluz, and Floor Jansen are all Legends, Suzuka Nakamoto is a Legend on the Rise...and catching them fast. I see some performers weren't listed, one in particular is Amy Lee of Evanescence. This is only an opinion, but every single one that was listed here earned this honor, and then some. Thank you for letting me express my feelings about this.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@Moonlight_shine7 Floor is definitely a legend. Have you not been paying attention? She has done so much in her career and deserves all the recognition she's getting.
Shame I never saw my girl Brittney Slayes pop up, unless I missed it somehow, but I'm happy to see so much Anneke up there. My two favorite female vocalists in metal.
I don’t care about the numbers, floor Jansen is the most talented female vocalist across multiple genres, she belts, operatic, falsetto, she even screams. Her voice is beautiful and trained in every possible way
She always was. Nightwish just cast a spotlight on the gem known in the European metal scene and brought her to a wider audience, then Beste Zangers, followed by COVID. Many of us have been long time AF fans. In reality, I never listened much to Nightwish until Floor became their vocalist. She is fantastic wherever she sings. Goosebumps.
@swaillidan5558 some people deserve their recognition; she is one of them. Being highly regarded for her skill isn't the same as being overrated. Tarja, on the other hand, is highly overrated.
@@ACGmusic0117 Her overall skill is indeed great. However, her performance in Nightwish has completely been held back cuz of Tuomas' ego to do whatever he pleases. She can do operas, growls, high belts... and where is that? There was barely any opera vocals in the most recent album, and NONE in EFMB. EFMB was a boring generic mainstream pile of crap, the highest note she hit in the album was like an E5 or F5 once. Her range spans literally an entire octave higher, she can hit F6 in operatic head voice. Why? Why hold back the variety she can provide and streamline, simplify everything instead of utilizing her full capabilities? And, naturally, she never got any growl lines to sing, cuz Tuomas has this idea to make Nightwish a folk rock band instead of returning back to proper symphonic metal
My loving singer still is Tarja Turunen because i met and i love NW and symphonic metal because of her but i love many more singers and bands with female vocalists. Every one is unique and has something different which i can't compare. In my opinion Anette's era was more difficult after Tarja's departure and she has done fantastic job, put NW even higher and Floor found a great band to become the new singer. So i have big respect to Anette and i continue to follow her in solo career, the dark element and projects with Magnus Carlson.
Damn Tarja has dominated for that long wow that women I see why they grew so much inspiration of that women😍 I also wanna see Dianne reign. Tarja and Dianne are for me the definition of Symphonic Metal, protect them at all cost and as for all the other wonderful ladies you all deserve it love you all ladies of Metal, and new to come. So proud to be a fan of women in metal ❤
@@jamalamo you clearly don’t like Tarja and it’s ok google is free do your research or don’t I really don’t care what you do. I’m appreciating my favorites and I support can we just appreciate our favorites and stop indulging ourselves with someone that wasn’t even mentioned thank you.
@@jamalamo When you watch the video Tarja is very hard to miss, just keep looking at the first place and you'll see her tirelessly work her way up there more often than any other singer for near 20 years straight 😊 Then you'll know who Tarja is
I knew Floor would crush everything at the end of the 2010s, simply because of Beste Zangers and upcoming Nightwish album, but I'm really suprised to see Doro and Tarja to be so constant at the top. I am well aware that Tarja is a living legend in metal and arguably one of the greatest singers the metal-scene has to offer and Doro to be one of the first female voice in metal ever, but still. No Tatiana was the biggest suprise for me. Such an amazing singers and no mention is almost a crime. Some notable namens that I didn't expect to see, but would have been reasonable are Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum) and Jennifer Haben (Beyond the Black).
I would have done anything to see Angela Gossow perform live one more time. I admire many metal artists but Angela is and will always be my #1 female growler. Her growl is out of this world, freaking beast.❤
Floor and Nightwish play in another league that includes bands like Rammstein, Metallica with legenday live performances. They went far beyond the boundaries of the genre (symphonic/female metal)
I feel Epica are in the same League. I guess not many people search for Simone in particular. Floor also had a lot of solo attention and upped her social media A-game considerably starting 2019.
@@erwinmulder1338 Ok, but I did not mean any social league, I meant another musical league. Simone and Epica are definetely top of the symphonic/female metal but Nightwish is top of the music. A spiritual experience composed by a genius and performed by the female reincarnation of freddy mercury
@@erwinmulder1338 Epica, the evil little sibling of Nightwish (is what we called them about 20 years ago). While i do love Epica equally, they are by no means in the same league overall. Yes, they are one of the top tier symphonic metal bands with femal main vocalist, but they go far harder and darker. And while there are times when they share or take the throne from NW for a while, they never stretched the borders of the genre (or any metal genre) as far as NW did and does. The symphonic metal sound was redefined and reshaped by Nightwish countless times, far more signifacantly than by any other symphonic metal band. In my opinion it's like this: If you want a band that is the definition of symphonic metal, you listen to Epica. If you want a band that is anything and everything that symphonic metal could be or become (and beyond), you listen to Nightwish. And because i like the music by J.S.Bach and walisian folk ballads as much as the music by System Of A Down, Lord Of The Lost, Rammstein, Electric Callboy, ASP, Epica, Nighwish and Old Mans Child, i go for Nightwish more often than for Epica.
Nightwish is my personal favorite, but it was Beste Zangers in 2018 that put Floor on top so solidly. Her duet with Henk Poort was getting a million views a week for over a month.
You could pinpoint the exact moment Nightwish split with Tarja because of the HUGE spike in searches for her. Weird that Anette didn't spike as much for that split. Maybe because there was less time between that split and the arrival of Floor than between Tarja and Anette? The spike at the beginning of the pandemic is interesting too, I think that is when Ghost Love Score basically became part of the Official Reaction Video Starter Kit, along with Pisces. I also agree with every one else that Tatiana absolutely belongs in there.
I think the split with NW and Tarja was just HUGE. When talking about NW it was all about Tarja often (same as now it's all about Floor). And there was no new singer for over a year and half. Anette then spiked crazily too when her name was revealed. The Anette split was announced in the same post as Floor coming on board. Makes sense that new singer adjusting on tour was far more interesting than Anette flying home. Also Anette never became "the diva face of NW" unlike Tarja&Floor.
I love FLOOR because her Vocal Skills are Powerful & Diverse. She's Not a "one-trick pony." She can take a song & put so much into it with her Style. She has..No Limits. She Excels and is a Multi-talented Artist.
@@F355 Tarja has a pleasant throaty, deep voice and a wide Vibrato...and I Much PREFER FLOOR'S brighter tones, her Chest & Head Voice and her mixture of them. And Floor's High, Long notes. I also PREFER FLOOR'S ability to Interpret a song more creatively and bring ALL the emotion out of a song. FLOOR..is a Rare Talent and this is Why she gets so much attention. 👌
Summa summarum: If you are or have been Nightwish's lead vocalist, you have done something wrong, if you can't make a career out of it. Tarja Turunen, Anette Olzon and Floor Jansen absolutely dominates this chart! From the very start all the way to the end. Naturally, mainly Tarja and Floor.
she worked out the technique of breathing and now it sounds just wonderful. it is clear that it is much easier for her to sing than before. Watching a lot of live shows from their last tour, she's singing really well now.
Simone is number one the fact is floor is yes an amazing singer but and I know alot of people will disagree but her original stuff isn't that good the last 2 nightwish albums to me ain't as good as there past...
Su-Metal is the stage name of Japanese singer Suzuka Nakamoto, who has become an icon in the metal scene worldwide thanks to her work as the leader of the band Babymetal. Since her debut in 2010, Su-Metal has made an indelible mark on the music scene thanks to her incredible talent, stage charisma, and ability to fuse elements of metal with Japanese pop culture. What has made Su-Metal revolutionize the world of metal is her ability to connect with a very diverse audience, which has helped expand the genre to new audiences. Her voice is unique and has been able to adapt to different styles and musical genres, allowing her music to have a global reach. Furthermore, Su-Metal has achieved what few artists have been able to do: she has fused metal music with elements of Japanese pop culture, creating a completely new genre. Babymetal is known for its "kawaii metal" style, a mix of metal and J-pop that has captivated millions of fans around the world. But what really makes Su-Metal a revolutionary figure in the world of metal is her ability to break stereotypes and cultural barriers. As a woman in a male-dominated genre, she has defied expectations and shown that women can be as talented and passionate as any other musician. In conclusion, Su-Metal has revolutionized the world of metal thanks to her ability to connect with a global audience, her ability to fuse musical and cultural genres, and her ability to break stereotypes and cultural barriers. Her legacy as the leader of Babymetal and as one of the most influential figures in contemporary metal is undeniable, and her music will continue to inspire future generations of musicians and fans of the genre.
"Non popular"bro, you are delusional, Japan is one of the most popular countries all over the world, and their music is mainstream which serves a lot, since ot only metalhead listen to it but regular folks, also the band is super popular was even viral for a long time.
@@danriu Do you compare the popularity of BABYMETAL with Nightwish, or some other renowned band in the west? Or the popularity of BABYMETAL in Japan? Because in neither case is it. In Japan they don't even give them the recognition they deserve. If you compare the number of people who live in Japan with the number of people who know or have heard the name BABYMETAL, you will realize that they are unfortunately not popular. In 2020 BABYMETAL was recently invited to Kohaku, where they made themselves known a little more in their own country. PS: Of course BABYMETAL sells out all their concerts and has a lot of fans in Japan, but that number of people is only a tiny fraction of the total number of people living in their country. In Japan, J-Pop and/or J-Rock is more popular PS2: Just because Japan as a country is popular, because of its culture, music, anime and other things, it doesn't mean that BABYMETAL is so :(
@@Disrawen You were bluffing a lot trying to make the band look as if it was the best ever above all obstacles, and you yourself dismantled what you yourself said in your first comment by elaborating, so you made the work yourself, nothing to say really lol, BBM is a great band, but you are just going full fanboy man, chillout.
@@danriu bro you are the delusional one lol. I'm a huge BM fan but at least I am reasonable. sure Japan is popular but the music coming out of there isn't at least compared to South Korea it's not even close. BM is not a huge band they straddle two worlds and sing in a language that is only spoken in that country. They will need to decide which world they want to live in and sing more songs in english if they ever want to become a huge band.
It's really interesting to visually see when these talented musicians joined bands or released albums. You can even spot the boost of Wacken 2013 on Floor's search results, and then her Beste Zanger's performance in 2019 sent her to the moon.
If Lizzy Hale counts as metal so does Amy Lee from Evanescence. Halestorm is hard rock. Nightwish fans are clearly insane with how much love each singer got at points during this. Tarja is just clearly beloved even solo, Floor got robbed because After Forever just wasn't as well known as Epica and Nightwish during her pre 2012 years.
Living in the US. I didn't realize Tarja remained so popular for so long after she left Nightwish. If it wasn't for going to see Nightwish I would have never learned about Simone and Floor. Now Floor blew up so big thanks to Beste Zangers she basically decided to b3come the list.
Three names stand out. Because they are always on the list. And they are: Tarja Turunen, Liv Kiritine, and Doro Pech. And the fourth one that sometimes falls off the list, but is on it from the beginning Anneke van Grinsberg.
Floor saved Nightwish, in 2012 during the tour Anette left, if Floor wasn't there then, there would be no Nightwish now ( Tuomas has also said this in an interview), Now Nightwish is bigger than ever,🤘 and of course Tarja has meant a lot to the band and she can sing fantastic opera but there was also her limitation right there, Tuomas can now write anything without limitations and that pays off. That Nightwish fans of the Tarja Era have trouble with Floor is that those fans think Nightwish is music with only a dark opera voice like Tarja has....even after 19 years¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All of these ladies are terrific, BUT, Tarja will always be Queen of the Metal Queens because she brought symphonic metal to the world. An absolutely stunning dark soprano with huge range. So very special. Simone is the Avenging Angel, when Epica is rocking out with harsh vocals and a full orchestra and Simone enters with her bright soprano cutting through it all...heavenly. Floor is a Valkyrie with power and precision and so many skills. I'm also a big fan of Lori Lewis. Another bright soprano that can cut thru all the din.
Queen Mother !! That makes her sound like a dowager. Tarja is only a few yrs older than Floor. Did you not see this video. Tarja was at the top for 15 yrs before Floor got off the bottom. Joining Nightwish brought her to the top. Tarja stayed at the top even after leaving Nightwish. Nothing wrong with having favorites, but look at the numbers.
@@adventuresinmusic2487 Thank you for proving my point! It is in the numbers indeed! Tarja was the leading lady ("queen") untill 2013 (now 11 years ago). Since then it has been Floor who is with a large margin. So, in terms of "tenure" Tarja preceded the current Queen of 11 years reign, Floor Jansen, and that is why I call Tarja the Queen mother... Furthermore, Floor was already in one of the world leading groups of this new genre from the beginning, and in terms of popularity Floor not only beats Tarja with a big margin in this YT scan since 2013, but also in many other polls and scans where Floor consistently scores 3 to 4 times better than Tarja. So actually I am being quite polite calling Tarja the Queen mother.
First female fronted band I remember hearing was Straight Line Stitch, Alexis Brown. Then Evanescence, Amy Lee. Back in HS they were almost like a guilty pleasure because of the environment I grew up in.
In my opinion, Floor Jansen wins this fight outright. You will ask why? Just because she owns all the vocal styles of ALL the girls in the list (with all my respect and sympathy for them). Need a light fleur - she can. Need an opera - she can. Need a growl - and she can do it. It's easier to say what she can't. There are no options here. Her vocal range and technique is beyond human understanding and ability. She can easily cope with any composition of any performer who flashed in this top. Believe it or not, be angry or happy, I don't care. This is just a statement of fact, nothing more.
Apareció de la nada y llegó al top en el mundillo del female fronted metal y llegó para quedarse pues seguro que habemos muchos fans fieles a ella en todo el mundo!
Honestly, seeing Suzuka so high up with some of *THE* names in metal warms my heart. I've been a BM fan since pretty much day one and seeing her grow from this cute girl into a gorgeous young woman with the voice of an angel is just fantastic.
Suzuka ❤ Always on top since January 2014❤ Babymetal have just released a new album (The Other One) a *** banger ! For people who don’t know Babymetal, look at "The First Take - Monochrome" a Suzuka’s vocal is just perfect❤❤ @Metalstats : Did you take Moa in considération for the stats?
I'd suspect not I'm not sure why otherwise you would just have the band name on there and Turja and Floor would account for total search for Nightwish for example. Doesn't make sense in this example.
As a Nightwish fan I was curious how they stack up in terms of overall metal popularity. Turns out they pretty close to own the top spot, but the most surprising thing is Tarja not even seeming to fall off at all after she left the band.
@@publicminx - She is also a successful solo artist, she doesn't just drag by into the top 5 for two decades due to the first year or two with Nightwish.
@@Max_Griswald Well, i listened to Tarja for another decade just for that reason that she was the former singer of NW - in her lives she still sings many NW songs, and her first solo album was still pretty close to NW albums of that time. Tbf, i just never liked Anettes pop sound singing style, and i cried a bit for the following 2 album releases of NW, as the songs were better than anything they did before, but Anettes skills weren't really on par. Once Floor joined NW though i lost any interest in Tarjas solo music, especially as she went into a direction i didn't care at all, sound wise.
@@olgahein4384I see many people saying this about Tarja. I think it's a shame she's forever seen as an ex NW singer, when she's just so much more. I actually appreciate her solo style (the last album being my favourite of hers) and come to think of it I like it more than NW direction since Floor joined. Their albums are not bad, but they come alive only during shows and are much more fun to listen to in live settings.
@@elizabethe_mal Floor is my favorite singer, but I agree. I think Tuomas has lost a bit of that old flare now that his music is all about climate change instead of passion and imagination. Floor's live performances give me chills, but I just don't like the new stuff as much as I'd like to.
All extremely talented and badass woman! My top 3 1- Suzuka 2- Alissa 3- Sharon Love woman in metal, we need more, the female voice can bring so much to a heavy metal song!

But the fact that all three Nightwish frontwomen were floating around the top spots over the years, and both Tarja and Floor holding those top spots for so long shows just how great they are!
the author of the charts simply didn't include Tatiana in the list, so she wasn't tracked - as with every statistics, take it with a grain of salt
@@dwightk.schrute8696 Why did I read this in Dwight's voice.
I dont think they were chosen by the YT creator. I think these are search results and people will search for Jinjer not Tatiana.
this chart is basically symphonic metal with a couple of others thrown in like Lzzy Hale and Sumetal but missing many others
@@swankysweller With that line of thought, people would search for Nightwish, Within Temptation and Arch Enemy, not the respective vocalists either lol
So the chart is basically dominated by Tarja and Floor lol
Tarja was such a legend that topped the chart for 10 years before 2013
Тарья и есть легенда.
Lovely to see how Tarja built tradition on the female metal scene. Also lovely to see how Sharon, Simone, Anneke and of course Floor always have been there for years and years. Definitely the world has been so fortunate to have had this incredible and talented women. I wish to start seeing Dianne Van G on this charts from now on ❤

@@noctusowl I'm so proud of them. I grew up with these women, I've been listening to some of them as early as six years old. To see how they take of finally is a great thing to experience.
This video showcases the power that Nightwish has.
And I’m pleased to see that Babymetal’s lead singer Suzuka is doing so well..!
Найтвиш, которые откровенно Кинули Тарью? Ха-ха три раза...
If Lzzy Hale is considered metal, then we are missing Taylor Momsen and Amy Lee. And hoping someday the great Brittany Slayes from Unleash the Archers gets her just due!
There is no hard border between metal and hard rock. With songs like "Miss Nothing" it's hard to not recognise them as metal. At same way you could say Ozzy is not metal what could be completely wrong.
While Halestorm sounds for me more pop than metal or rock.
And this list is crap when no include even Jinger but include jpop
Brittany Slayes is so underratedt, i love Unleash The Archers
@@Kjeleman Actually Evanescence falls under Nu Metal 90's so actually it is but I guess Nu Metal doesn't count
@@indonemesis1020 Evanescence was Nu Metal back in 2003 with the album Fallen, after that it went far from nu metal.
@@braineater2889 Nu metal stands for bands who made metal ish in the 90's. Yes Evanescence is considered nu metal it still is
Anneke is so underrated.
Sad ando true
Underrated is the most overrated word. No, Anneke is not underrated. Unknown is a better word. The ones who do know about her, recognize her talent. So she is not underrated at all, she is just unknown by a larger audience. But unknown is not the same as underrated. So again: Underrated is the most overrated word.
@@treintje1001 very good point. You're right
She has a super loyal fanbase tho.
Anneke is my fav 🌟
I like to watch how SU-METAL entered into this echelon of metal women, which has been existing for years in the same form... A new breath!
Floor Jansen is my favorite singer, but it's amazing how Tarja Turunen has built a beautiful career over all this time.
Floor Jansen has an incredible career as well. I remember watching her like 20 years ago with After Forever!

is shocking how TARJA remain on tops of the list for 19 fucking years straight, she is like the michael jackson female metal voice on the music industry
This is a ranking of internet searches, so Tarja probably gets a boost from Floor's immense popularity: people hear Floor, discover Nightwish, and then get curious about the band. (I discovered her in exactly that roundabout way.)
Both women, of course, have the advantage of singing Tuomas' compositions.
@@jpdemer5 boost? dude, she doesn't need to be boosted in anything. These new Nightwish fans are so dumb...
lol@@jpdemer5
Tuomas had the advantage of forming a band with Tarja and Emppu and picking up Jukka and Sami right after.
I liked Floor 20 years ago, but her old band was short-lived, exhausting artistic potential, and never that successful (even tho they have some total masterpieces). I actually forgot about her for almost 5 years. I never forget about Tarja, as opera is my thing and led me to NW, and I liked her both as a Nightwish and solo metal singer, and as a classical stage performer. Both women can showcase their skills no matter what material they work on.
If Tuomas didn't have Tarja and Emppu to perform his compositions he would remain maybe a richer but not so famous ghost writer for other artists ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Потому что Тарья - эталон.

That is pretty condescending.

As i said, its a well earned victory for Su, and a big FUCK YOU to those "true metal fans" that are still out there hating her, without giving her a chance.
@@KenjaTimu the band Su is in is named babymetal….
@@pompeiiizzy265 oh I know. I love Babymetal.
The little lady stands her ground.
Was interesting how Su came out of nowhere and shot up to at one point number 1 and stayed around the top 5 since she entered. Also Lizzy Hale making so many comebacks
Вы немного невнимательны...
Suzuka Nakamoto, what an underdog. Love Babymetal. But the true queen is Floor Jansen ❤
Флор и Симона это лучшие женщины на сегодняшний день🤘
@@2000jago ahh common guys, i love both..and Anette too;
@Huh I don't understand what you're upset about here. I just said Su was an underdog. And not all the singers on here are symphonic metal either. Lacey Sturm from Flyleaf and Lzzy Hale from Halestorm are in here too.
Yes, FLOOR is a Rare talent.
Floor definitely deserves the top spot
Nah
@@Traigame2cervezas Cope.
Tarja is 100% icon. Floor is todays queen
Surprised that Lori Lewis, Tatiana Shmayluk, Melissa Bonny, Diana van Giersbergen, Heike Langhans, Clemetine Delauney and Asami never appeared. But glad that Anneke van Giersbergen and Marcela Bovio popped up. Also glad about Suzuka's (Su-Metal) strong performance.
Justine Daaé, Marina La Torraca, Amanda Sommerville, Anna Brunner
Nora Louhimo
Tarja and Floor with great music, Sharon with a beautiful voice and Suzuka with a metal concept different from other bands, a different language and amazing acts and stages. These three bands are my favourites.
ЯИр за Флор вообще такая? О_О
It is great to see Suzuka getting the recognition she deserves.
Lol
I love Su and Floor
I'm impressed by Nakamoto Susuka who entered the top 10 in her 17 and never left it since until now even the time when they were on a hiatus...
I think the only reason she isn't bigger is because she's fronting a project that is extremely unique and sings mostly in japanese. If they had more songs in all english or if they were simply pure metal/rock I think it be a different story. Ramstein is a good example. I know a lot of people who don't know german who listen and love the band but they are a single genre and don't straddle 2 worlds like BM.
I don't even think she is a metal singer. I think she is a pop singer fronting a pseudo metal band. Pretty decent range, no distortion and no vibrato at all. Nothing to land her on a top metal singer list that excludes Tatiana Shmayluk.
@@Paul-jj5wy It's by popularity not by how good she sings
@@Paul-jj5wyshe's a metal singer because her peculiar timbre let her sing on pretty heavy music without being overwhelmed, but yeah, she cannot scream, her voice is too clear. Her duets with Halford show that, she can easily reach all the notes, but it's like playing metal on an acoustic guitar😅. BTW, she has a wider range now, she's stronger in the lower range, but she has some holes, she's aware of that and carefully avoid those notes.
Anyway most of the women here are Opera singers and she's in that range.
🤘🏻🦊⚡
@@Paul-jj5wy Just like Tarja Turunen, Floor Jansen, Simone Simons or Anette Olzon have been always considered as metal singers, SU-METAL is indeed a metal singer. BABYMETAL is a metal group (not a band, the three girls don't play even if Moa can play th guitar) because they are defined this way, their music is metal and they use many of the folklore of this genre.
With Floor branching out and doing solo projects, I’m fairly certain she will remain the queen of female vocalists for a good while to come….
She’s not the queen
Angela is the GOAT. Sorta painful to see her dropping from the stats completely to this day, but Floor totally deserves to be on top so that's OK
I am shocked by the fact that Tatiana Shmayluk from Jinjer is not on this chart. It is a tragedy. She is one of the greatest female singers of all time.
Ikr? Seems a little bit sus, considering that Jinjer has one of the most viewed videos of the bunch.
That chart really demonstrates when each band had member changes and or new album coming out. Love it
Or a world tour (Babymetal). Or a pandemic lockdown related boost to (metal) music reaction channels all over the world who kinda simultanously reacted to one single band (Floor since 2020). Floor was my no.1 since the early 2000s, but it's got quite a lot to do with being at the right place at the right time.
@@olgahein4384 I totally relate with you! I met Floor in 2004 with After Forever and I have followed her career since then. She has been my favorite singer of all times. With Tarja I wanted sing Opera but Floor showed me that everything is possible. I really miss the heaviest Floor before Nightwish but she still is my number 1
Floor became unreachable
So cool to see that Suzuka Nakamoto is on the list and never left the top 10 😊
Floor coming out of absolutely nowhere and dominating REPEATEDLY is so funny to me 😂
Tarja Turunen is the Icon, Sharon den Adel, Simone Simons, Allissa White-Gluz, and Floor Jansen are all Legends, Suzuka Nakamoto is a Legend on the Rise...and catching them fast. I see some performers weren't listed, one in particular is Amy Lee of Evanescence.
This is only an opinion, but every single one that was listed here earned this honor, and then some. Thank you for letting me express my feelings about this.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Jansen is no legend.
@@Moonlight_shine7 Floor Jansen is much MORE then a legend. Floor Jansen is the Valkiry Godess AND the ONLY queen of metal.

Flawless Victory. Fatality 😊
Only the last year's but for trajectory Tarja wins it all
Tarja, Floor, Susuka, Sharon, Simone and Alissa My favourites
Shame I never saw my girl Brittney Slayes pop up, unless I missed it somehow, but I'm happy to see so much Anneke up there. My two favorite female vocalists in metal.
i was going to say the same thing!! gotta love UTA
@@shawndale7344 and Brittney is sooo damn good live. She's a powerhouse.
As far as traditional metal singing goes, no woman can top Brittney!
Impressive to see Suzuka Nakamoto at just 19 years old reach the top of the list of the most popular Metal singers!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I don’t care about the numbers, floor Jansen is the most talented female vocalist across multiple genres, she belts, operatic, falsetto, she even screams. Her voice is beautiful and trained in every possible way
Su-metal is an absolute legend for being there at only 16-17 years old
Floor has become very famous since joining Nightwish.
She always was. Nightwish just cast a spotlight on the gem known in the European metal scene and brought her to a wider audience, then Beste Zangers, followed by COVID. Many of us have been long time AF fans. In reality, I never listened much to Nightwish until Floor became their vocalist. She is fantastic wherever she sings. Goosebumps.
In these stats, she really takes off when Beste Zangers aired in july 2019. That was when she first reached main stream audience.
Became overrated imo
@swaillidan5558 some people deserve their recognition; she is one of them. Being highly regarded for her skill isn't the same as being overrated. Tarja, on the other hand, is highly overrated.
@@ACGmusic0117 Her overall skill is indeed great. However, her performance in Nightwish has completely been held back cuz of Tuomas' ego to do whatever he pleases. She can do operas, growls, high belts... and where is that? There was barely any opera vocals in the most recent album, and NONE in EFMB. EFMB was a boring generic mainstream pile of crap, the highest note she hit in the album was like an E5 or F5 once. Her range spans literally an entire octave higher, she can hit F6 in operatic head voice. Why? Why hold back the variety she can provide and streamline, simplify everything instead of utilizing her full capabilities? And, naturally, she never got any growl lines to sing, cuz Tuomas has this idea to make Nightwish a folk rock band instead of returning back to proper symphonic metal
I like the Metal Galaxy boost for Su in 2019 😁
My loving singer still is Tarja Turunen because i met and i love NW and symphonic metal because of her but i love many more singers and bands with female vocalists.
Every one is unique and has something different which i can't compare.
In my opinion Anette's era was more difficult after Tarja's departure and she has done fantastic job, put NW even higher and Floor found a great band to become the new singer.
So i have big respect to Anette and i continue to follow her in solo career, the dark element and projects with Magnus Carlson.
Love Anette, kind of sad how short her "reign" on the top of this list was. Still, I have always been a huge Tarja fan!
the moment when Floor was top 1: JUSTICE!
Damn Tarja has dominated for that long wow that women I see why they grew so much inspiration of that women😍 I also wanna see Dianne reign. Tarja and Dianne are for me the definition of Symphonic Metal, protect them at all cost and as for all the other wonderful ladies you all deserve it love you all ladies of Metal, and new to come. So proud to be a fan of women in metal ❤

@@jamalamo When you watch the video Tarja is very hard to miss, just keep looking at the first place and you'll see her tirelessly work her way up there more often than any other singer for near 20 years straight 😊 Then you'll know who Tarja is
Cristina Scabbia forever 💖
I knew Floor would crush everything at the end of the 2010s, simply because of Beste Zangers and upcoming Nightwish album, but I'm really suprised to see Doro and Tarja to be so constant at the top. I am well aware that Tarja is a living legend in metal and arguably one of the greatest singers the metal-scene has to offer and Doro to be one of the first female voice in metal ever, but still. No Tatiana was the biggest suprise for me. Such an amazing singers and no mention is almost a crime. Some notable namens that I didn't expect to see, but would have been reasonable are Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum) and Jennifer Haben (Beyond the Black).
Didn't knew that Doro is still so popular. Think the last time i heared stuff from her was in the 1990s 🤔
Floor is a flop
I knew it, yeah Floor Jansen all the way for me! ❤️
I would have done anything to see Angela Gossow perform live one more time. I admire many metal artists but Angela is and will always be my #1 female growler. Her growl is out of this world, freaking beast.❤
absolutely. she will always be the best female growler🤘
Floor and Nightwish play in another league that includes bands like Rammstein, Metallica with legenday live performances.
They went far beyond the boundaries of the genre (symphonic/female metal)
I feel Epica are in the same League. I guess not many people search for Simone in particular. Floor also had a lot of solo attention and upped her social media A-game considerably starting 2019.
@@erwinmulder1338 Ok, but I did not mean any social league, I meant another musical league. Simone and Epica are definetely top of the symphonic/female metal but Nightwish is top of the music. A spiritual experience composed by a genius and performed by the female reincarnation of freddy mercury
Concur!
@@erwinmulder1338 Epica, the evil little sibling of Nightwish (is what we called them about 20 years ago). While i do love Epica equally, they are by no means in the same league overall. Yes, they are one of the top tier symphonic metal bands with femal main vocalist, but they go far harder and darker. And while there are times when they share or take the throne from NW for a while, they never stretched the borders of the genre (or any metal genre) as far as NW did and does. The symphonic metal sound was redefined and reshaped by Nightwish countless times, far more signifacantly than by any other symphonic metal band.
In my opinion it's like this: If you want a band that is the definition of symphonic metal, you listen to Epica. If you want a band that is anything and everything that symphonic metal could be or become (and beyond), you listen to Nightwish. And because i like the music by J.S.Bach and walisian folk ballads as much as the music by System Of A Down, Lord Of The Lost, Rammstein, Electric Callboy, ASP, Epica, Nighwish and Old Mans Child, i go for Nightwish more often than for Epica.
Nightwish is my personal favorite, but it was Beste Zangers in 2018 that put Floor on top so solidly.
Her duet with Henk Poort was getting a million views a week for over a month.
Tarja practically owned the whole thing, but yes, since 2019 so many Floor reactions were here and there. Also, Doro is timeless
Nope, she didn't after 2013 she was overtaken by Floor.
Jinjer singer needs to be in here
You could pinpoint the exact moment Nightwish split with Tarja because of the HUGE spike in searches for her. Weird that Anette didn't spike as much for that split. Maybe because there was less time between that split and the arrival of Floor than between Tarja and Anette? The spike at the beginning of the pandemic is interesting too, I think that is when Ghost Love Score basically became part of the Official Reaction Video Starter Kit, along with Pisces. I also agree with every one else that Tatiana absolutely belongs in there.
I think the split with NW and Tarja was just HUGE. When talking about NW it was all about Tarja often (same as now it's all about Floor). And there was no new singer for over a year and half. Anette then spiked crazily too when her name was revealed.
The Anette split was announced in the same post as Floor coming on board. Makes sense that new singer adjusting on tour was far more interesting than Anette flying home. Also Anette never became "the diva face of NW" unlike Tarja&Floor.
Rise of Floor. Totaly deserved. There can be only one number one, FLOOR, HELL YEAH!
I love FLOOR because her Vocal Skills are Powerful & Diverse. She's Not a "one-trick pony." She can take a song & put so much into it with her Style. She has..No Limits. She Excels and is a Multi-talented Artist.
Which vocal skills? Screaming is not power, you want power? Project your voice. Period. Her voice is too thin and can't sing high notes eithet
As opposed to Tarja who is the biggest one-trick pony there is.
@@F355 Tarja has a pleasant throaty, deep voice and a wide Vibrato...and I Much PREFER FLOOR'S brighter tones, her Chest & Head Voice and her mixture of them. And Floor's High, Long notes. I also PREFER FLOOR'S ability to Interpret a song more creatively and bring ALL the emotion out of a song. FLOOR..is a Rare Talent and this is Why she gets so much attention. 👌
Suzuka Nakamoto.. The success of BABYMATAL is surprising
Summa summarum: If you are or have been Nightwish's lead vocalist, you have done something wrong, if you can't make a career out of it. Tarja Turunen, Anette Olzon and Floor Jansen absolutely dominates this chart! From the very start all the way to the end. Naturally, mainly Tarja and Floor.
How is Amy Lee not on this list? Not even in 2003? I'm pretty sure she dwarfed Tarja in that era.
Su-metal and floor jansen my favorite singer
Love how my favorite bounced at the top quite a few times in Alissa White-Gluz. Super talented both clean, and harsh vocals. Just so talented.
Floor y Alissa son increibles🤘
I wonder if people keep looking for her because they don't memorize how to spell it. I know I do.
@@davuvnik I think you extrapolate to the rest of the world what happened to you
Good choice. Floor is my favorite but I've never heard Alissa sing a bad song that's for sure
Even better is that angela was on this list for so long. I didnt expect this
Floor leading the way. Just as it should be
I'm surprised that the name of Tatiana Shmailyuk from Jinjer doesn't appear from 2020. Those who still don't know should listen to her.
was waiting for her to pop up
I almost wonder if it's because her name is hard to spell.
I imagine that with Jinjers next album late this year or next year they will get quite popular in the states. Thats alot of album sales.
Being great content for reaction videos doesn't automatically translate to well known... it's a bit of a grassroots movement.
@@autohmae they are climbing the ladder. Slipknot and Disturb tours
Damn, Beste Zangers 2019 really put Floor into orbit...
Interesting to see.
But to be honest Simone will always be my personal favorite! ❤
she worked out the technique of breathing and now it sounds just wonderful. it is clear that it is much easier for her to sing than before. Watching a lot of live shows from their last tour, she's singing really well now.
I have two personal favourites Simone and Fabienne of Eluveitie/Illumishade. Floor is close to them to complete my top two!! 🥰😍🔥
Simone is number one the fact is floor is yes an amazing singer but and I know alot of people will disagree but her original stuff isn't that good the last 2 nightwish albums to me ain't as good as there past...
@@natalegallo3688 - There are several good songs on the last two albums, but I prefer the older albumbs overall.

SU-METAL 👑🤘🦊❤🖤
Su-Metal is the stage name of Japanese singer Suzuka Nakamoto, who has become an icon in the metal scene worldwide thanks to her work as the leader of the band Babymetal. Since her debut in 2010, Su-Metal has made an indelible mark on the music scene thanks to her incredible talent, stage charisma, and ability to fuse elements of metal with Japanese pop culture.
What has made Su-Metal revolutionize the world of metal is her ability to connect with a very diverse audience, which has helped expand the genre to new audiences. Her voice is unique and has been able to adapt to different styles and musical genres, allowing her music to have a global reach.
Furthermore, Su-Metal has achieved what few artists have been able to do: she has fused metal music with elements of Japanese pop culture, creating a completely new genre. Babymetal is known for its "kawaii metal" style, a mix of metal and J-pop that has captivated millions of fans around the world.
But what really makes Su-Metal a revolutionary figure in the world of metal is her ability to break stereotypes and cultural barriers. As a woman in a male-dominated genre, she has defied expectations and shown that women can be as talented and passionate as any other musician.
In conclusion, Su-Metal has revolutionized the world of metal thanks to her ability to connect with a global audience, her ability to fuse musical and cultural genres, and her ability to break stereotypes and cultural barriers. Her legacy as the leader of Babymetal and as one of the most influential figures in contemporary metal is undeniable, and her music will continue to inspire future generations of musicians and fans of the genre.
🙏🙏🙏
Let's be honest Floor has some mad vocals
My favorite : Suzuka Nakamoto
Floor has from another world brilliant voice and stage presence! Christina is my 2nd favorite here but all are fantastic in their own right!
She was not included. If she was she would definitely start showing up at late 2010s and early 2020 when Pisces was everywhere.
I'm surprised when it moved into 2020, Tetiana Shmailyuk from Jinjer didn't show up. She's outstanding.
The Queen Floor Jansen!
Su-Metal❤🔥
Suzuka Nakamoto 🤘🦊🤘 best singer ever!! Singing in a non-popular language, in a non-popular band, in a non-popular metal genre , etc... just amazing!
"Non popular"bro, you are delusional, Japan is one of the most popular countries all over the world, and their music is mainstream which serves a lot, since ot only metalhead listen to it but regular folks, also the band is super popular was even viral for a long time.
@@danriu Do you compare the popularity of BABYMETAL with Nightwish, or some other renowned band in the west? Or the popularity of BABYMETAL in Japan? Because in neither case is it. In Japan they don't even give them the recognition they deserve. If you compare the number of people who live in Japan with the number of people who know or have heard the name BABYMETAL, you will realize that they are unfortunately not popular. In 2020 BABYMETAL was recently invited to Kohaku, where they made themselves known a little more in their own country.
PS: Of course BABYMETAL sells out all their concerts and has a lot of fans in Japan, but that number of people is only a tiny fraction of the total number of people living in their country. In Japan, J-Pop and/or J-Rock is more popular
PS2: Just because Japan as a country is popular, because of its culture, music, anime and other things, it doesn't mean that BABYMETAL is so :(
@@Disrawen You were bluffing a lot trying to make the band look as if it was the best ever above all obstacles, and you yourself dismantled what you yourself said in your first comment by elaborating, so you made the work yourself, nothing to say really lol, BBM is a great band, but you are just going full fanboy man, chillout.
@@Disrawen dude, I lived in Japan for 6 years on and off during 2012- 2018 and they were pretty mainstream. Even in China they are popular.
@@danriu bro you are the delusional one lol. I'm a huge BM fan but at least I am reasonable. sure Japan is popular but the music coming out of there isn't at least compared to South Korea it's not even close. BM is not a huge band they straddle two worlds and sing in a language that is only spoken in that country. They will need to decide which world they want to live in and sing more songs in english if they ever want to become a huge band.
I'm so happy to see Su-Meal being so popular :D
Where is Courtney LaPlante и Tatiana Shmailyuk? It can't be that they weren't in the top 10 last 2 years.
It's really interesting to visually see when these talented musicians joined bands or released albums. You can even spot the boost of Wacken 2013 on Floor's search results, and then her Beste Zanger's performance in 2019 sent her to the moon.
Sharon over all, actually only one on the list I listen to 😊
If Lizzy Hale counts as metal so does Amy Lee from Evanescence. Halestorm is hard rock.
Nightwish fans are clearly insane with how much love each singer got at points during this. Tarja is just clearly beloved even solo, Floor got robbed because After Forever just wasn't as well known as Epica and Nightwish during her pre 2012 years.
FLOOR JANSEN, minha vocalista preferida, desde os tempos de After Forever.
Ew
Tarja was a gamechanger! She's a goddess! Floor is glorious!
Floor is the best, no doubt!
Yeaaah, Suzuka Nakamoto and Lzzy Hale
Living in the US. I didn't realize Tarja remained so popular for so long after she left Nightwish. If it wasn't for going to see Nightwish I would have never learned about Simone and Floor. Now Floor blew up so big thanks to Beste Zangers she basically decided to b3come the list.
Three names stand out. Because they are always on the list. And they are: Tarja Turunen, Liv Kiritine, and Doro Pech. And the fourth one that sometimes falls off the list, but is on it from the beginning Anneke van Grinsberg.
Tarja will be my only metal Queen...forever!!
Floor saved Nightwish, in 2012 during the tour Anette left, if Floor wasn't there then, there would be no Nightwish now ( Tuomas has also said this in an interview), Now Nightwish is bigger than ever,🤘 and of course Tarja has meant a lot to the band and she can sing fantastic opera but there was also her limitation right there, Tuomas can now write anything without limitations and that pays off. That Nightwish fans of the Tarja Era have trouble with Floor is that those fans think Nightwish is music with only a dark opera voice like Tarja has....even after 19 years¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hard to believe Tatiana is not there
Amy lee too.
All of these ladies are terrific, BUT, Tarja will always be Queen of the Metal Queens because she brought symphonic metal to the world. An absolutely stunning dark soprano with huge range. So very special.
Simone is the Avenging Angel, when Epica is rocking out with harsh vocals and a full orchestra and Simone enters with her bright soprano cutting through it all...heavenly.
Floor is a Valkyrie with power and precision and so many skills.
I'm also a big fan of Lori Lewis. Another bright soprano that can cut thru all the din.
Nope. The only true Queen and Valkiry Godess of Metal: Floor Jansen (Tarja is the Queen-mother)
Queen Mother !! That makes her sound like a dowager. Tarja is only a few yrs older than Floor.
Did you not see this video. Tarja was at the top for 15 yrs before Floor got off the bottom. Joining Nightwish brought her to the top. Tarja stayed at the top even after leaving Nightwish.
Nothing wrong with having favorites, but look at the numbers.
@@adventuresinmusic2487 Thank you for proving my point! It is in the numbers indeed! Tarja was the leading lady ("queen") untill 2013 (now 11 years ago). Since then it has been Floor who is with a large margin. So, in terms of "tenure" Tarja preceded the current Queen of 11 years reign, Floor Jansen, and that is why I call Tarja the Queen mother... Furthermore, Floor was already in one of the world leading groups of this new genre from the beginning, and in terms of popularity Floor not only beats Tarja with a big margin in this YT scan since 2013, but also in many other polls and scans where Floor consistently scores 3 to 4 times better than Tarja. So actually I am being quite polite calling Tarja the Queen mother.
Sumetal 🥰
Glad to see Anette hanging around even nowadays! Tarja and Floor are both amazing, but Anette has always been extremely underrated.
First female fronted band I remember hearing was Straight Line Stitch, Alexis Brown. Then Evanescence, Amy Lee. Back in HS they were almost like a guilty pleasure because of the environment I grew up in.
Tarja dominated for a decade, then became a top5, it seems Floor its at the top of the game for the past few years
In my opinion, Floor Jansen wins this fight outright. You will ask why? Just because she owns all the vocal styles of ALL the girls in the list (with all my respect and sympathy for them).
Need a light fleur - she can.
Need an opera - she can.
Need a growl - and she can do it.
It's easier to say what she can't.
There are no options here. Her vocal range and technique is beyond human understanding and ability. She can easily cope with any composition of any performer who flashed in this top.
Believe it or not, be angry or happy, I don't care. This is just a statement of fact, nothing more.
😂
Tarja the queen forever
4:32 Floor Jansen, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! She rose to the top with the speed of Warp 9.
Me sorprende que Anette aún se mantenga vigente, reconozco que escucho muchas canciones de ella, y Suzuka esta aún muy joven, irá como espuma.
Anette are amazing!
Apareció de la nada y llegó al top en el mundillo del female fronted metal y llegó para quedarse pues seguro que habemos muchos fans fieles a ella en todo el mundo!
Esque su úlitmo álbum "Strong" es buenísimo... Ya lo escuchaste? Si no, de verdad te lo recomiendo. Por eso sigue tan vigente Anette.
Anette has been excellent in the Dark Element! Her recent career has really showcased her talent.
Honestly, seeing Suzuka so high up with some of *THE* names in metal warms my heart. I've been a BM fan since pretty much day one and seeing her grow from this cute girl into a gorgeous young woman with the voice of an angel is just fantastic.
Su has grown so much! Love the older albums for the energy and boldness of BM overall, but their recent album has shown her really mature👌🤘
Floor, Anette, Anneke, Simone las mejores
Suzuka ❤ Always on top since January 2014❤
Babymetal have just released a new album (The Other One) a *** banger !
For people who don’t know Babymetal, look at "The First Take - Monochrome" a
Suzuka’s vocal is just perfect❤❤
@Metalstats : Did you take Moa in considération for the stats?
I'd suspect not I'm not sure why otherwise you would just have the band name on there and Turja and Floor would account for total search for Nightwish for example. Doesn't make sense in this example.
As a Nightwish fan I was curious how they stack up in terms of overall metal popularity. Turns out they pretty close to own the top spot, but the most surprising thing is Tarja not even seeming to fall off at all after she left the band.
because of her association with early Nightwish - those videos etc.are still on ...
@@publicminx - She is also a successful solo artist, she doesn't just drag by into the top 5 for two decades due to the first year or two with Nightwish.
@@Max_Griswald Well, i listened to Tarja for another decade just for that reason that she was the former singer of NW - in her lives she still sings many NW songs, and her first solo album was still pretty close to NW albums of that time. Tbf, i just never liked Anettes pop sound singing style, and i cried a bit for the following 2 album releases of NW, as the songs were better than anything they did before, but Anettes skills weren't really on par.
Once Floor joined NW though i lost any interest in Tarjas solo music, especially as she went into a direction i didn't care at all, sound wise.
@@olgahein4384I see many people saying this about Tarja. I think it's a shame she's forever seen as an ex NW singer, when she's just so much more. I actually appreciate her solo style (the last album being my favourite of hers) and come to think of it I like it more than NW direction since Floor joined. Their albums are not bad, but they come alive only during shows and are much more fun to listen to in live settings.
@@elizabethe_mal Floor is my favorite singer, but I agree. I think Tuomas has lost a bit of that old flare now that his music is all about climate change instead of passion and imagination. Floor's live performances give me chills, but I just don't like the new stuff as much as I'd like to.
