  • I've had a bunch of requests for Nightwish - and why not this classic?! I like to think of this cover as a mixed interpretation of both the album version and Floor's version. :)
    One of my absolute favorite albums growing up was Once. I was so inspired by the massive sound as a young girl - I truly believe it was one of the albums that got me to where I am today.
    Hope you enjoy!!

      Hell, no! She's now a member of Temperance, a great band that i highly suggest you! She would be a total waste in nw,since nowadays nightwish are just a pale shadow of their former self. And not since a couple of years.
      And i'm trying to be objective, because on a personal level i stopped listening to them after DPP.
      Before you ask me,yes, i'm tarja's biggest fan AND i love anette AND one of the only two songs i like on imaginaerum is Slow Love Slow. And i've been a fan of floor since af's debut ;)
      Sad to say since nw have been a great love of mine but i think they're artistically dead.

      I am now subbed and have watched many of Miss Kristin's videos. I am a fan of Floor Jansen. Until this moment, I thought it impossible for anyone to perform GLS as well as Floor did at Wacken 2013. I just got proven wrong. What a voice! What control WHAT POWER!!I loved her rendition. Perfection all over again. Count me in! Yes, this lady stands on the shoulders of a giant but I concur, she easily could fill in Miss Floor.

    Fantastic performance, Kristin! Your performance indeed captured the idea of combining the best elements of Tarja's and Floor's most well-known performances. And then you ended it with a truly astonishing and stunning interpretation that perfectly represents your unique style we've all come to fall in love with! Brava brava!

  • @YNGWIE998

    My God woman, you are a force of nature! I almost felt my hair blowing during some of your belts. Seriously though, you have managed to combine the techniques and personalities of Tarja and of Floor, and yet made it your own, with your personality and expressive singing riding on top. GLS is probably my favourite song of all time, and you most definitely get a 10/10. Bravo.

  • @Theodax1
    @Theodax1 2 роки тому +16

    This would qualify as a vocal ACHIEVEMENT!!!! Your gorgeous voice handles this very difficult song with both grace, and power. I always thought Tarja lost some of her annunciation due to her rather pronounced Finnish accent, still do to this day. However, you seem to be very aware of that and do a marvelous job of pronouncing every syllable clearly and cleanly. Even when you go into the later break in the song, you have such power and presence in your voice. Dare I say it.... You're almost TOO strong a vocalist for this song!!!! And YES!!!! You NAILED THAT LAST NOTE!!!! Floor Jansen herself would be, well......floored.... heheheheheheheh

    Bravo! Amazing performance.
    The control you have over your voice to keep such a beautiful controlled vibrato on a belt like that... I can't even begin to imagine.

    This is one of my favorite songs ever. I never thought anything could top Tarja's rendition, then Floor joined the band and added so much more energy to the ending. I got to hear her perform it in 2015 and it brought me to tears.
    And then you came along. The way you blended what both of them did best into a single cover was masterful. Seriously Kristin, this was incredible. Thank you.
