I would LOVE to see: Phantom Of The Opera (with Tarja, End of an Era, 2005), Storytime (Wacken 2013, with Floor), The Greatest Show on Earth (Floor, Tampere 2015), Yours is an Empty Hope (Wembley Arena, 2015, Floor) Ghost River, Romanticide, Ever Dream, She Is My Sin and Song of Myself (all from that concert, Wacken 2013).
      Also, OUTSTANDING video! Best I've seen, had to subscribe... Congrats and welcome to the Nightwish Army!
      Ps: I would totally love that same kind of video for some Rush, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath or UFO songs, if you're trying another rock or metal for some another video!

    This reaction happened to me late at night, when I should have been asleep already. I listened with headphones so as not to wake the neighbors. I was preparing to write the usual greeting, but I realized it would be a mistake. You know very well the context, the song, the capabilities of the band, the vocal qualities of Floor and Tarja. As I will subscribe.
    I find it fascinating that in the case of Nightwish, we can see and compare 2-3 versions of the same songs. It's as if we see several interpretations of a famous opera area ...

      @@andreasgrussl There is a rather large intersection between Metal and Classical Music, not just in Symphonic Metal. That is also true for Metal fans, most of us can name a few classical pieces and composers we really like. (Beethoven and Vivaldi for me)
      My favourite example by Nightwish of how much of a difference a singer can make is "10th Man Down". Tarya sounds emotionally detached from the story, her vocals floating above the heavy music, giving it a hymnic feel, a certain lightness. Floor's version on the other hand drips of emotion, her voice is in the thick of it and pulls you into the story, making you part of it. Both interpretations are brilliant but so different, they feel like different songs.

In fact, in most cases - as you said - there seems to be a love for both Rock/Metal and Classical music in many people.

    Very good analysis of Floor's performance in this song. Most people only think about comparing Floor and Tarja's versions of this song in terms of which voice they like better, but I think it's more interesting to compare the two approaches philosophically. The way the vocal arrangement was originally written for Tarja, she contrasts the ups and downs of the musical composition with her consistent vocal approach. Floor's approach to this song is totally different, instead completely reworking the vocal arrangement to follow all the same ups and downs the composition does, and adding an additional 20 seconds of vocals at the end so that the vocal arrangement crescendos at the same moment the musical composition does. Neither approach is necessarily right or wrong, they're just two completely different artistic visions of how vocals should fit together with music.

    • @AndreSomers
      @AndreSomers 2 роки тому +14

      Great way to explain it. Thank you. But if you _do_ ask the question which one I like better, I must say I prefer Floors' version because it uses so many more colors. Tarja was a fantastic front woman for Nightwish, but she basically used only one vocal style: operatic. The different styles Floor uses add a lot of depth to the performance for me.

    Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted !
    Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
    Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6)
    She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot.
    Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
    From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
    And The Person behind Nightwish :
    Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist and songwriter of Nightwish) is the main composer for Nightwish.
    Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot.
    🤘😎🤘.

Loved your insights and comparitive links to other songs/bands. I have a personal preference for Floor's vocals, because of her versatility and overall sound, but I don't want to take away anything from the vocal abilities of Tarja (and Anette).

    Hervorragende Arbeit, Andreas! Einzigartige Analyse mit Mehrwert. Hintergrundinfos zu Floor, Unterschiede zu Tania, Beispiele von Filmmusiken usw. Das alles professionell editiert und zu einem unterhaltsamen Stück UA-cam zusammengeschnitten. Herausragend im Meer semi- bis unambitionierter Reactions und Analysen, die durchaus ihren Charme haben. Respekt! Ich hoffe nur, dass ich das mit „Kevin Allein zu Haus“ aus dem Kopf kriege, wenn ich mich mit dem Song mal wieder in Ichreißdiewelteinstimmung bringen will!🤣

    Abot Tarja vs Floor: as you said, it's mostly about the personal taste. Tarja was much more operatic while Floor is so versatile and by that brings way more into the songs.
    One thing that always strikes me, when I hear live versions with Tarja (any NW song) is that she sings quite often on an offset timing (to drum rythm). It's probably something that comes from her strict operatic style and (musical) background. But metal, even symphonic metal, is so driven by riffs and rythm that this offset timing simply appears as not fitting and "wrong" (in a way).

    Floor is by far a more entertaining singer. Her opera, stage/show, rock and folk styles are without match. Dropping from head voice to chest voice within 1 lyric is unbelievable. The Ghost Love Score went from pretty good to Epic with Floor. Thank you for your analysis. Well done!

    @chrism2964 2 роки тому +16

    Ignoring vocal tone for a minute, the reason I prefer Floors version is that it has so much more energy. Ive seen a few people argue that Floors versions miss the original point of the songs, but I dont agree. You can change the energy without changing the meaning. I guess it depends on your personality, Tarjas approach may appeal more to a sullen teenager, Floors approach may appeal more to a more confident adult.
    Another thing is that Floors timing is much much better. Tarja often sounded like she was lagging behind the music, for me it just made the songs feel really flat. Its like Tarja was pulling us away from the music and trying to make us focus on the voice, whereas Floors timing compliments the music. I find Tarjas approach quite jarring. Its ironic really that its Floors version that gets all the vocal reactions, given that the voice part is more complimentary to the music and less dominant.

    Tarja and Floor are top singers, but with Tarja I'm still hungry, even a bit boring. At Floor it is the opposite, you are always faced with surprises, her technique and color palette are much larger and also more pleasant to listen to. Floor also constantly examines the content of the text and feels it well. Top Artist🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶

    Probably the greatest live song performance in musical history, and personally, my alltime favourite performance. There is no stopping Nightwish... Tuomas (keyboards), is the driving force behind the band's compositions, and he just shines on stage as well. Floor brought a passion and an understanding of the English language to make it leaps ahead of Tarja'a (NOT TANJA) version.
    Easily the most reacted to video on YT. Thanks.

    hey Andreas ! Thank you for that reaction and brilliant analysis ! 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.
    As someone who started listening to Nightwish and Floor with her 1st band 20 yrs ago I offer My song list recommendations below which is solely focused on the singer you just saw & heard,cheers
    **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.

    What is great about analyzing GLS is you can see the evolution of the emphasis. Floor built on Tarja's various tweaks and settled into her base version and the band adjusted. Now that is the new base and it expands around that on a performance by performance basis. With all the video today we can actually see the process. Just the evolution with Floor between Argentina and this performance is fascinating.
