Hello Rosalie [Reacts] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! Many thanks to Brandon for introducing you to this band :) This song was performed in Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], 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. 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 [pronounced Tu-oh-mas], 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 [pronounced Yukka] became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and very recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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: "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ua-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/v-deo.html "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ua-cam.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/v-deo.html "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ua-cam.com/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/v-deo.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) ua-cam.com/video/7xlyc16kLIs/v-deo.html "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) ua-cam.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/v-deo.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) ua-cam.com/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/v-deo.html "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ua-cam.com/video/yT7jPHrTFZU/v-deo.html "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) ua-cam.com/video/mzcy3a9q8_0/v-deo.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) ua-cam.com/video/knqeI807ZlY/v-deo.html "Sleeping Sun" live at Vizovice Masters of Rock festival 2016 (ballad) ua-cam.com/video/pVPTUEW1PEM/v-deo.html "The Islander" live at Tampere 2015 (Marco in charge..) ua-cam.com/video/Zo8ncK_5kzc/v-deo.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) ua-cam.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/v-deo.html "Alpenglow" live at Wembley 2015 (uplifting / metal) ua-cam.com/video/FrJvKZNEh7g/v-deo.html "Sahara" live at Tampa 2016 (middle eastern vibe) ua-cam.com/video/lTvYfLa4Wlk/v-deo.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ua-cam.com/video/wA44tjaP5n0/v-deo.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ua-cam.com/video/t26r_vAYQ0Q/v-deo.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) ua-cam.com/video/AN239Pbqbjo/v-deo.html "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) ua-cam.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/v-deo.html And if you want to be surprised by Floor's vocals :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 ua-cam.com/video/DuwY1d-KIss/v-deo.html "The Poet And The Pendulum" [Wembley Arena 2015] ua-cam.com/video/N4Vfy5yCy-c/v-deo.html - for this one (The Poet.. ) I strongly recommend you to do some research, since is a deep emotional and meaningful song, for both the band and the fans.

You'll not be disappointed :) @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 videos from this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLexzLA11Cst1G4E0D61rAnWvnDF4zIz8M.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 ..)

Hi again. There is still here a reply with a lot of links suggested by fans, but it was blocked by your anti-spam filters. If you are interested, please release it from spam. Thanks 🤘
Hey Gabriel. I've been casting an eye to Rosalie's comments checking for you. Just wanted to step in let you know you're appreciated from this side of these videos as well. Keep fighting he good fight...I swear I'll get their names straight eventually :p
Tuomas Holopainen is the keyboardist and he's the main man behind the band who writes the vast majority of the music. He also writes the orchestral parts. The guitarist is Emppu and he's the character in the band, though they all have their moments. At the same concert during "I Want My tears Back" Emppu messes with Floor's in-ears and it's a real laugh when you know what is happening. In other concerts, Floor has chased Emppu across the stage. When Floor goes dancing, Emppu gets the hell out of the way as the poor little dude would get run over. There's loads of these little moments scattered throughout their songs.
It's the closest thing to NW that most Americans are aware of. Unless you've heard Epica, Evanescence is the likely to be the first band that comes to mind.
As an old time rocker starting in the 70s , I have witnessed an untold number of live performances in my lifetime. This is in my opinion one of the greatest live performances , not only in rock, but any genre ,that there has ever been. Totally flawless , and to think they can pull this off live is amazing.
@@seanharrison933 Well Floor's first show with Nightwish was on Oct 1, 2012 in Seattle when she performed at the last moment with them after they fired Anette Olzon and this was the Wacken Festival 2013. If you search her first show with them it will come up adn there is video of it too. on Oct 9, 2013 she was announced as the official singer of the band. The Wacken 2013 concert festival was held from July 31 to August 3rd, 2013 and this show was on August 3rd. Search the lineup for the festival too. it is amazing what bands played that year.
The symphonic part is actually the London Philharmonic Orchestra with their choir. Nightwish uses several English choirs to add to their music. Floor is technical a lyrical soprano but has the range to sing some alto notes. She also growls and can hit a very clear D6. She's got it all. BTW, there is a video of her actually singing the phone book. Someone bet her she couldn't do it but she did.
In The documentary about making of EFMB Tomas says that they been working with this orchestra for over ten years. Pip Williams is the orchestral leader. There's a misconception floating around that NW works with The London Philharmonic Orchestra. It's The 53 Piece Orchestra (might have change the name) lead by Pip Williams. Pls let me know if you are sittning on info that provets me wrong. It's good to be wrong at times. You actually learn two things: howit isn't and how it is opposed being right. Then You only learn how it is :-)
That would be Jarkko Piipari. Pretty famous drum tech among drum techs. Which, I'll admit, isn't the most famous scene of people to be famous among. But every drum tech in the industry knows who Jarkko Piipari is.
The entire mix of this concert is phenomenal. For me, their best sounding live recording might be Tampere, but this one is comparable. I would guarantee you there are some samples blended in with the drums, btw. That's almost ubiquitous in metal these days. I don't look it as cheating. It's still Jukka's performance. The samples just provide a cleaner, more controlled sound. The mic'd drums give you the realism.
Welcome to Nightwish. 2 things are true here. Floor showed a lot of versatility, range, and technique in this song. This performance does not even begin to scratch the surface of what Floor can do. Each Nightwish song is very different and will be more amazing than the last (regardless of which order you listen). In addition, there are a lot of solo performances from Floor, which further expand her talents. She sings in 5 or more languages, and does everything from pop, to rock, to opera. And with regard to Nightwish, Floor is their 3rd lead vocalist and the first 2 are also amazing! I am hoping you continue this journey.
@@rosalieelliottofficial thank you for your kind response. I had been watching your Angelina Jordan and Aurora reactions (among others) and have been enjoying your content. New subscriber!
@@rosalieelliottofficial First off Welcome to the best band and female vocalist of our time, I know bold statement but if you take the journey you will understand ,A few things you may not be aware of ? NW is the most reacted to band on UA-cam ever, 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 songs from this concert are much different , 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 AfterForever 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.

@@rosalieelliottofficial also, at the time of this recording, floor had only been with nightwish for 5 months. this was the biggest concert she had done in her life up to this point (85,000 people)
Looking back on it nearly 10 years later, as I have mentioned in other reactions, the Doctor Who saying of "a fixed point in time" applies. There is Nightwish pre-Wacken 2013, and Nightwish post-Wacken 2013. Wacken 2013 is what pushed them from just being a band loved by metalheads to a band loved by EVERYONE. Seriously, I have yet to show anyone Ghost Love Score that has not been absolutely floored (pun intended) by it :P
@@rosalieelliottofficial Hello! It seems like you used EPICA in your video tags as well. Are you now going to react to them?? If you react to Nightwish, it's almost inevitable to react to Epica too. 🙂 They are the best of the best in the whole symphonic metal subgenre. Epica are generally heavier than NW since they also incorporate death metal elements into their music, but they also have several wonderful ballads and acoustic versions of their metal songs that can melt your heart. Can you tell me what would you like to start with? Something heavy? Something more radio-friendly or some of their longer epic masterpieces? Or maybe a ballad? That would be a bit unusual intro to Epica, but still good.
22:50 The Floorgasm brings yet another convert to the family !! 😁 Welcome Sister. You’re one of us now. Just FYI, that’s about 70 minutes into the show, and Floor had been killin’ it the whole way already. Also, that’s 82 THOUSAND people hanging on her every word; so, no pressure on her to Bury that (9 second long)high note.... At 6’1 and 170 pounds Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie Goddess, and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again. I love watching these reaction videos and my biggest hope is that people follow and enjoy the Symphonic Metal path I was led to. Welcome to it. 💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙 Infantryman-Nightwish Army. US Regiment. Kentucky Battalion RIP Ann Waychoff-Commanding General-Nightwish Army This is the holy trinity of Nightwish songs live with Floor fronting... Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013 ua-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/v-deo.html Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere 2015 ua-cam.com/video/45brzDJKZ3o/v-deo.html DO NOT CUT THIS OFF EARLY. The Nightwish Army is Murderous behind this Sin. Be Warned. 😏😏 The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley 2016 ua-cam.com/video/gbn9GczYBkw/v-deo.html (wait until you have a full understanding of the band’s history before you react to this one. It’ll add the context you need to fully appreciate this emotional masterpiece.)
No one does what Floor does. Her voice would be impressive enough, but the way she uses it is almost beyond belief. Clarity, pronunciation, the amount of fullness she carries up through her range. And then there's the way she becomes everything she sings, without it ever being cheesy, or inauthentic. Just totally natural, like she's been living every performance all her life. She's the 'once in a generation' (or perhaps century) voice.
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
@@rosalieelliottofficial you're welcome. And thanks for an amazing reaction. It's always fun to see when people really enjoy these performances. We even have a word for those chills you get when Floor Jansen sings. We call them FLOORGASM And you had multipel of them🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And the hair whipping/banging is called WINDMILLING. She is after all Dutch 🙂
Dear Anders, She is *just-human* like the rest of us. But still very unique, very special.. And highly gifted as an Empath, very much a High-Sensitive type of Personality.. I myself see her more as a 'Shield-Maiden', going to battle. To battle it out in the music industry with her Brothers, shoulder to shoulder, shield to shield... And yes, on stage she is (especially with NW) this Amazon Worrier-Queen, leading the Battle, from the front row...
Floor is by far the best female vocalist in music today, she can sing pretty much anything from rock to opera to Disney classics, and even does the raspy growling in a couple of songs too.
It was from minute 22:28 Rosalie's face went from surprise to awe and ended in disbelief that what's happening on stage is humanly possible. Welcome to the Nightwish army :)
She held that last note for 8 seconds. But if you watch the more recent concerts, you will find one where she did it for a whopping 15 seconds! Small correction to what Brandon said: Floor studied rock and had a year of opera training. Floor can do whatever she wants to with her voice. Her abilities go from opera style to growling like a lion.
Little does she know, Marco (the bass player) can sing with just as much talent! He SLAYS in their Phantom of the Opera performance with Tarja and the rest of the band!
Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome Rosalie, to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. Symphonic metal at its best. Floor is our Valkyrie queen. This is just the very tip of the iceberg. This is a band worth exploring, a gratifying journey! Enjoy!
80 THOUSAND in attendance for this show in Germany. This band is very popular!!!! If you really want to be blown away, watch live in Tempere THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH! Nightwish killed it and you will be speechless!
I am so happy for you that you found Nightwish and enjoyed it! Great reaction! I hope you do more. They are the greatest discovery I have ever found via YT and are now my favorite band of all time. I'll echo you both that being in the crowd during one of their live shows is a truly memorable experience. Borderline life changing. Saw them the first time in May in NYC and I am still trying to process. I thought I was prepared, but I was not. Have to see them again! Enjoy your journey, because it only gets better from here. 🙂 I subscribed for it! (I've also followed That's Not Acting - I have been there before) Tuomos is the keyboardest, actually - Empuu is the guitarist. Tuomas writes everything, however yes, Empuu is awesome. Very humble. Adds to a song only what is needed in terms of guitar work, as opposed to shredding it all the time. Also, yes, they truly enjoy being up there and get it from the crowd and return it in spades. You cannot be in the audience and not feel it and react, and you feel it even in a video. I love watching Storytime to really see it, but you see that joy in all their songs, from the crowd and themselves. Also, Nightwish Army we're typically referred to. It's appropriate. You just suddenly find yourself an over the top fan and cannot stop gushing about them. Sometimes feels like you'd follow Floor into armed combat, were we back in those days, if you imagine her presence on horseback lol. Valkyrie Goddess for sure. They are all amazing.
Fun fact: you mentioned toward the end of your reaction that you’re sure they’d done this song many times. But in fact, Floor had just joined the band a few months prior. In fact, her first concert with Nightwish was precisely 10 years ago tonight. She was called in when the singer they had been touring with fell ill and discovered she was pregnant. Floor was asked to finish the tour with them and had 48 hours to learn the set list. If I recall, at the time that the video you reacted to was recorded, she was not yet made a permanent member. There is a documentary of those crazy days titled “please learn the set list in 48 hours” I’ve been a Nightwish fan for years, through all 3 singers. I was already a fan of Floors from her first band, After Forever, which she joined right after graduation. When it was announced that she was coming on board I was both ecstatic and furious- ecstatic for obvious reasons, furious because I was at the final show with the previous singer. It was 2 long years before they came back to the US and I finally got to see Floor. I’ve seen them live 5 times and they’re absolutely unparalleled on stage, particularly since Floor joined the band.
For me, the crazy thing is they are so humble. They came and played in the smallest of small venues in Saskatoon, Sask a few years ago. Not much more than 1k people. But they rocked the place. To see how they gave us the same powerful performance as they do at any show... man... I love these guys. They just won me over so hard that day, I love them.
Emmpu plays what the songs want nothing more, and nothing less. They all are virtuosos of music. Playing multiple instruments at or above the professional level they have the ability to really combine into the incredible musical performances that immerse the listener in a sea of emotions.
Nightwish army New York here, welcome 👋 And this was the 13th song of the set! I think it's time for a little story. 😉 Try "Storytime" from this same show. But just follow Gabriel's post, it tells you all you need to know about this great band.
Big Shout Out to the NW and Floor fanbase.. Today to the day 28 sept., exactly 10 years after the Big Denver debacle... The final push that brought Floor together to her 'Brothers' ... You just witnessed the first Song of NW that Floor worked over, expanding on Tuomass' genius scoring.. Mind you, in Wacken, 2013 she still was 'just', the relieve vocalist... So much magic happended the last 10 Years, so much more to come.. Floor solo, Floor & Nightwish, all freaky musical geniuses at work & play ...
Nightwish, great band with the most versatile female singer in the world, Floor Jansen, will enriche your live Rosalie . Nice reaction. Greetings from the Netherlands
This is the last song/video I showed my mom before she died. She had been in a choir at UCA here in Conway, Arkansas back in the 80s that did operatic pieces and she was a tenor. She got to go to germany , Switzerland, france and other places. She sang in Notre Dame as well. I'm glad I came across your reaction and to see the look of joy on your face makes me instantly start crying. I like to watch reactions to nightwish, to see peoppes faces when they hear such great music and then I'll suddenly think of my mom.
Tuomas is the keyboardist. Enjoy and there are so many songs. From epics like "The Poet and the Pendalum" to heavy "Slaying the dreamer". One of my favorits is "Dead boys poem".
Watch the guy's facial expression in the first few seconds of the song. He knows what's getting ready to happen. I can almost hear him thinking, "you're in for a treat!" 😂
I was fortunate enough to see them in May, despite the fact that it is almost 10 years later and in a much smaller venue, her voice and their performance are just as captivating! When they took the stage nobody sat down for 2 hours!
I saw them in May as well and agree. I was fortunate to be able to photograph the show at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD .... up close and personal ... the sound wave was incredible, powerful and Floor's vocals superb
I have a question: I had tickets to a concert for december last year and was so hesitant, I didn't go. I was so afraid, that the departure of Marco and the health issues of Floor would ruin the Nightwish experience for me. Did I miss out? :( I think I did..
Hey Rosalie! This is without a doubt one of the best reactions to GLS I have seen (and I have seen a LOT...). If you want to hear and learn more about NW, then following Gabriel's list would be the best thing to do! Enjoy exploring the rabbit hole named Nightwish and keep up the good work!
wow thank you very much!! that means A LOT!! excited I got to explore NW and looking fwd to listening and learning much more. :) big thank you also to Brandon from @thatsnotactingeither for his amazing video work and collaboration. Thank you for your kind comment, Kloe :)
Great reaction - I'm sure someone has told you that it's actually the Keyboardist, Tuomas Holopainen, who is the mastermind of Nightwish and who writes 95% of all their music and lyrics 🤘
Emppu pinched Marko and Tuomas because it was awesome what Floor did. "This is real" At the time of this performance, Floor played with them only for 11 months. They called her during a tour through the States after firing their former singer. Floor said yes and had 48 hours to learn the setlist. Nice docu on YT btw. 😄
This is such a react-ception. I love watching people's reaction to their first time hearing Nightwish, and now I can watch someone else enjoying someone hearing Nightwish for the first time. Double the fun! Or is that triple the fun? 🤔😄🥰 I'm counting down till I will see them live for the first time in 4 days!
That euphoric feeling you had, with the need for something to drink, we call that the "Floorgasm". It appears our Valkyrie Goddess has claimed yet another soul. Looking forward to more reactions, loved the joint format BTW. Nightwish Army Arizona Division checking in 🇺🇲🌵.
They are willing to play the smaller venues like Des Moines Iowa (they aren’t as popular in the USA as the rest of the world.) They still put on a great performance.
Floor is known by many names. I prefer Valkyrie Goddess. She’s had three years rock training and one year of classical/opera/musical theater. Also was a vocal coach. A good follow up song would be the faster paced ‘Storytime’ from the same venue. It’s a great song to illustrate how much they all enjoy performing. 😄🤘 ua-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/v-deo.html
"everyone seems to be having fun" Meanwhile Jukka the drummer is doing 40 hours of work in just 10 minutes. By far one of my favorite drummers next to Jon Otto and Vinnie Paul.
Great reaction Rosalie! I am glad that you listened to Nightwish for your initial exposure to symphonic metal. They are one of the best in this genre in my opinion.
Hands down the best live operatic performance ever. And i mean - the best opera singers today do 1 performance in a play. She sang a whole open air concert. Song after song and delivered this crisp and clear and powerful set. Opera singers my azz. THIS IS TALENT.
Most people who react to this have already seen a lot of metal. It's great to watch someone for whom the entire scene is new. They just toured the U.S. earlier this year. American music audiences are clueless, but that was to our benefit- we got to see them in venues holding less than 2000, instead of the 80,000 that showed up to this performance at Wacken.
I love watching first time reaction videos when Nightwish are the subject material. Every time I'm wondering if your chin is actually going to hit the floor. Same reaction my first time hearing them.
I have seen this gig at least 250 times on itself, andsoooo many reaction vids to it... have to say This is the most true /honest piece of YT art I have watched. In awe...
From iron maiden to judas priest deep purple to blacksabath I have been to and listened to every great band and vocalist and I can honestly say this the best live show performances I have ever seen🥰🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed this. It is for me the most life affirming piece of music I have ever heard. when Floor hits 'That' note at the end of this song I believe I have heard the most prefect piece of music I will ever hear. and I can't stop myself from laughing and crying at the same time, This band is full of an obscene amount of musical talent. Thanks for a giving it a go, and if you liked them, you may also like Epica, another astounding vocalist backed up by a very talented band of musicians. Cheerr for the vid, up the Irons.
Awww this song just gets me crying every time, it's so amazing! Thank you for reacting to this. Although this is The dopest of all Nightwish songs and performances, you should really dig in to their discography, and have a taste of all 3 singers performances throughout the years. I've been listening them from since like 1998, and though I love Floor, Tarja was the original singer and oh lord, was she amazing ❤️ I recommend you to listen and enjoy the first 3 albums, then you will know where Nightwish came from. And yes, Tuomas is the absolute mastermind behind all of this, one of the last true composers in the World.
I really like you guys collaborating together on this, you had some great discussions about what you were seeing and hearing. I already love That's Not Acting's reactions, and you've really endeared yourself to me as well, and I really look forward to seeing more from you. One quick note, just to avoid confusion. TNA got the name right, but the wrong instrument. :P Tuomas is the keyboard player, not the guitarist. Not saying Emppu (the guitarist) isn't a genius in his own right, but credit where credit is due.
Hey Cali! Thanks for the kind comment (as always). Also for being so consistently gracious with me as a fumble around the world of nightwish. I will say that I am completely surprised that I got that one thing that wrong…I don’t know what led me to think that was Tuomas but somewhere I got that idea and, yeah…I’ve reacted to maybe 20 of their performances 100% believe that was him, lol 😅. But thanks again. At least now I know moving forward!
Floor Jansen.. Dutch glory! She managed to make me cry again. She is often called 'the Dutch Windmill' and she's known to give listeners floorgasms. I would love to hear her sing together with our petit Dimash 😉❤️
Rosalie, u just experienced rock opera at its best w a female lead singer Floor Jensen and as u felt her voice w such a range. I reacted this same way... jaw on the Floor. WOW what a performance. I'm now a subscrib.
You 2 vibe as reactors together so well. Seen you both individually. This should be a weekly/biweekly thing. Share something one on you heard with the other.
Howdy Rosalie! Nightwish Army Texas Division reporting in. Glad you enjoyed their song. Always great meeting new reactionists through music. Look forward to seeing what else you discover and we discover along the way.
As impressive as the last belt is, to me what she does just before that, going from head voice to chest so quickly and hitting the notes spot on is just as impressive.
Hi, beautiful reaction, great that you invited Brandon who has already listened to Nightwish and is informed about what awaits him and it was great to watch your reaction, Nightwish Floor Jansen's Army calls the Goddess of Valkyrie, I highly recommend that you keep responding to Nightwish especially on the Gagriel list, best regards.
Tuomas Holopainen is their keyboardist and composer. Emppu Vuorinen is one of their guitarists. At this time (2013), as seen in this video, Jukka Nevalainen was their drummer, and Marko Hietala was their bassist. (Not seen in this video, is Troy Donockley, whom plays several different instruments, as needed. The band has also had a couple of changes since this time. Kai Hahto has since taken over as drummer for Jukka Nevalainen, whom now handles behind the scenes stuff for Nightwish. Marko Hietala has since left, and now Jukka Koskinen is their new bassist.)
What's so great abt these double reactions with one already knowing what's in store, is that our man Brandon (great name, almost..) experiences the joy of sharing a gem with a NW novice. So he's enjoying Rosalie's fall for Floor and her Nightwish brothers in metal, like some of us enjoyed his own first dive into this rabbit hole. Great stuff and so much more to come I'm sure. See that Gabriel's arrived already, so Rosalie will be in good hands. Ty for this one you guys, that was thoroughly enjoyable. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘 P.s.: Don't know if Brandon's seen it yet, but Rosalie would definitely dig Floor's "Beste Zangers 2019" cover of Lady Gaga's "Shallow". No doubt it's in Gabriel's list, but a special mention won't hurt me thinks. If you're interested, I urge you to pick this specific extended version here, with the before & after talk (English captions available). Here goes: "Floor Jansen - Shallow (2019) + intro and outro (With eng subtitles)" - ua-cam.com/video/UWWbgYJ6Q6E/v-deo.html
Hey guys Thomas is the guy playing the keyboard the guy you’re talking about Is the guy playing the keyboard,, the lead guitarist is the guy walking around the stage touching everybody.. He’s a happy go lucky guy,, but Thomas is the guy on the keyboards.. Thomas is the one that writes the songs most of them And he is the one that got the band together.. Floor Jansen is the singer, and she’s has one of the most incredibly beautiful voice on the planet.. Nightwish is my new favorite band and thanks for reviewing them..
Add to this wonderful performance, you need to know that she had only 48 hours to learn the routine as it was her 1st time with the band performing live (so I understand)
You also mentioned that you enjoy when bands put instruments into songs that no one really things belongs to the music style. Well, check out their song "I want my tears back" There are two versions. Live at Wacken (same consert as this) and the slightly more popular Buenos Aires version. Both Floor and the audience goes wild in that one.
Nightwish Army UK Division new recruit reporting for duty. Epicness happens every time that Nightwish are on stage. This became quickly apparent to me some 6 months or so ago after I listened to Nightwish (I hadn't heard of Nightwish or Floor before) for the first time after being pestered by a friend to give them a listen, preferably live, so I did just to shut said friend up not expecting to like symphonic metal. It was suggested that I listen to "The Poet and the Pendulum" live so I did and OMG, I was blown away having never heard anything like it before. I haven't emerged from down the Nightwish rabbit hole since absorbing everything from the wonderful Tarja and Annette eras and now the incomparable Floor. One of my new favourite things to do is watch new reactors react to Nightwish for the very first time as it allows me to rekindle the feelings and emotions that I felt that first time. Magical. We are blessed to witness this wonderful group of magicians led by Tuomas who in my opinion along with Jeff Lynne of the Electric Light Orchestra is up there with the greatest songwriter composers ever and Floor is the best most versatile and accomplished singers that I have had the great privilege to see and hear. Thank you both for a wonderful reaction. Paul 👍🙏😊
Love your react! Always love reacts of this amazing and the best song ever!!! XD Im glad you enjoyed it! very funny ^^ ntmu both of you btw. peace out =)
Hello Rosalie [Reacts] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! Many thanks to Brandon for introducing you to this band :) This song was performed in Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], 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.
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 [pronounced Tu-oh-mas], 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 [pronounced Yukka] became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and very recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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:

"The Poet And The Pendulum" [Wembley Arena 2015] ua-cam.com/video/N4Vfy5yCy-c/v-deo.html - for this one (The Poet.. ) I strongly recommend you to do some research, since is a deep emotional and meaningful song, for both the band and the fans.
"The Greatest Show On Earth" [Tampere 2015] ua-cam.com/video/45brzDJKZ3o/v-deo.html - You should leave at the end the epic masterpiece. You'll not be disappointed :)
@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 videos from this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLexzLA11Cst1G4E0D61rAnWvnDF4zIz8M.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.

@ckid10: For full Nightwish concerts from all eras of the band, recorded at high A/V quality, I suggest you check out the YT Nightwish Arena channel: ua-cam.com/users/NightwishArena
You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019, TV show from Netherlands, here is a playlist made by Floor herself ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo.html
In the spring of 2021, Floor also did a cover of "Euphoria" for Beste Zangers Songfestival ua-cam.com/video/FOBgrpkOIVE/v-deo.html
In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us from her home studio, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 9 covers there, here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlinbJW0aJc2iVy5tYEhC5KL9.html
Following the success of Beste Zangers show, Floor performed a series of solo concerts in the Netherlands in early 2020 with songs from her entire career (After Forever, Revamp, Northward, Nightwish, Beste Zangers) following that the last and the largest concert, at AFAS Amsterdam, to be professionally recorded and broadcast online, with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. After several rescheduling, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the concert took place at the beginning of September 2021 in 3 consecutive days. So far the first 17 songs from the concert plus the backstage documentary have been posted online, here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlilDPohfKzmFC_wdTOllD3jh.html
On March 25th Floor Jansen released her first solo song, "Fire" ua-cam.com/video/Utz4gFG3HF8/v-deo.html and then (on May 27th) she added her 2nd one, "Storm" ua-cam.com/video/aGqJksbbUoY/v-deo.html
On September 9th Floor gave us her 3rd single, "Me Without You" ua-cam.com/video/RAnIRd39Pr8/v-deo.html

Hi again. There is still here a reply with a lot of links suggested by fans, but it was blocked by your anti-spam filters. If you are interested, please release it from spam. Thanks 🤘
@@gabriel.bardac I salute you, sir. Always on duty.
Hey Gabriel. I've been casting an eye to Rosalie's comments checking for you. Just wanted to step in let you know you're appreciated from this side of these videos as well. Keep fighting he good fight...I swear I'll get their names straight eventually :p
Tuomas Holopainen is the keyboardist and he's the main man behind the band who writes the vast majority of the music. He also writes the orchestral parts. The guitarist is Emppu and he's the character in the band, though they all have their moments. At the same concert during "I Want My tears Back" Emppu messes with Floor's in-ears and it's a real laugh when you know what is happening. In other concerts, Floor has chased Emppu across the stage. When Floor goes dancing, Emppu gets the hell out of the way as the poor little dude would get run over. There's loads of these little moments scattered throughout their songs.
I'd get out of her way, too. It'd be like getting hit by an NFL linebacker....a very beautiful linebacker, but it'd hurt nonetheless...lol
sounds like they have a blast :)

@@rosalieelliottofficial They do! If you consider that Floor calls the other band members her brothers, it says a lot, I think.
Watching people react to this is one of my guilty pleasures
Mine too. Can't stop watching reactions.
Guilty
Yup. At least once a month.
Me too :)
Oh I'm totally shameless here lol. It's the cheat code to watching it for the first time, every time. Knock yerself out!
Evanescense, Amy Lee? Come on folks! This is Floor Jansen, 6Ft Valkyrie Goddess of Metal ......
It's not fair to compare Amy vs Floor. Amy sings what she can Floor sings whether wants. I like Amy but Floor is on another level. Great reaction ❤
I thought the exact same thing when she said that about Floor, she is on a totally different level than Amy Lee.
It's the closest thing to NW that most Americans are aware of. Unless you've heard Epica, Evanescence is the likely to be the first band that comes to mind.
Floor is the only woman yet who never fails to brings me to tears with her voice. I dont know how, or why but she just does. She is just magical.
Same here.... even after years.
Me too, I'm a 71 year old guy, and this piece of music makes me ugly-cry, In my life, I've never heard anything that comes close!
Me and my wife argues about who is best; Floor or Tarja. I think Floor...cause she got something...special..
@@Uttaitunnelen Both are amazing. Different but equally superb
Those goosebumps you felt when she started singing are what's known as a "Floorgasm".
I don't need high notes to have a floorgasm... she begins floorgasmic and it ends floorgasmic.
If the goosebumps when Floor sings are a Floorgasm, what do you call the buildup to those, Floorplay? 😆 Just wondering.
Big fan of Nighwish and Floor.
@@granadosvm Sounds about right to me.
yup, it should be in the dictionary
As an old time rocker starting in the 70s , I have witnessed an untold number of live performances in my lifetime. This is in my opinion one of the greatest live performances , not only in rock, but any genre ,that there has ever been. Totally flawless , and to think they can pull this off live is amazing.
I'm with you, 62 years old and a metal head. This is beyond compare.
100%
Ive never seen anything as close to pure perfection as this.
To think, she wasn't even an official member of the band yet either.
2005 'End of an Era' Farewell tour for Tarja Turunen. It'sw on YT.......
@@seanharrison933 Well Floor's first show with Nightwish was on Oct 1, 2012 in Seattle when she performed at the last moment with them after they fired Anette Olzon and this was the Wacken Festival 2013. If you search her first show with them it will come up adn there is video of it too. on Oct 9, 2013 she was announced as the official singer of the band. The Wacken 2013 concert festival was held from July 31 to August 3rd, 2013 and this show was on August 3rd. Search the lineup for the festival too. it is amazing what bands played that year.
I love when reactors are blown away by Floor the second she opens her mouth and we all know ........wait , just wait , you haven't heard anything yet.
Exactly. The Floorgasm Experience lol.
Yep. I've had the pleasure of seeing this live. And then.. Floor happens
Me too I love to see them have their first floorgasm
Floor is my girl!!
Exactly...They are about to have a religious experience!
the most metal fans love the classic musik too
Its not Classic, its good music I Like... Can be everything
The symphonic part is actually the London Philharmonic Orchestra with their choir. Nightwish uses several English choirs to add to their music. Floor is technical a lyrical soprano but has the range to sing some alto notes. She also growls and can hit a very clear D6. She's got it all. BTW, there is a video of her actually singing the phone book. Someone bet her she couldn't do it but she did.
that's neat!! excited to check out more of her work and NW too. thanks for watching :)
@@rosalieelliottofficial just to let you know...Floor's headwindmills are spectacular...Check out "Storytime" from the same concert.
In The documentary about making of EFMB Tomas says that they been working with this orchestra for over ten years. Pip Williams is the orchestral leader. There's a misconception floating around that NW works with The London Philharmonic Orchestra. It's The 53 Piece Orchestra (might have change the name) lead by Pip Williams. Pls let me know if you are sittning on info that provets me wrong. It's good to be wrong at times. You actually learn two things: howit isn't and how it is opposed being right. Then You only learn how it is :-)
@@paulmarsh4079 Well she IS Dutch so you can expect her to know a thing or two about windmills 😉
ive watched this vid w you & Brandon more than once, a bunch...and like ur energy & appreciation of a new genre.
Tuomas (Keyboardist) is the master mind behind their music. He composes all of their songs and lyrics. He is the "Metal Mozart."
Tarja had Classical training, not Floor. Jack Sparrow vs. Tuomas Holopainen...
@@nervanderi Floor had classical training as well. She has said as much in interviews.
@@nervanderi floor do have classic training
Everyone knows there is only one true Metal Mozart... the guy from Umbra et Image *puke*
@@nervanderi Floor had classic as well, you can tell from how she sings.
Whoever mic'd those drums deserves a Grammy.
The one who recorded Marco's bass so clearly too.
That would be Jarkko Piipari. Pretty famous drum tech among drum techs. Which, I'll admit, isn't the most famous scene of people to be famous among. But every drum tech in the industry knows who Jarkko Piipari is.
The entire mix of this concert is phenomenal. For me, their best sounding live recording might be Tampere, but this one is comparable.
I would guarantee you there are some samples blended in with the drums, btw. That's almost ubiquitous in metal these days. I don't look it as cheating. It's still Jukka's performance. The samples just provide a cleaner, more controlled sound. The mic'd drums give you the realism.
It might be him himself - he was the drum tech originally.
Youre correct
Best part? Imagining how many young girls are now inspired to be in bands.
Welcome to Nightwish. 2 things are true here. Floor showed a lot of versatility, range, and technique in this song. This performance does not even begin to scratch the surface of what Floor can do. Each Nightwish song is very different and will be more amazing than the last (regardless of which order you listen). In addition, there are a lot of solo performances from Floor, which further expand her talents. She sings in 5 or more languages, and does everything from pop, to rock, to opera. And with regard to Nightwish, Floor is their 3rd lead vocalist and the first 2 are also amazing! I am hoping you continue this journey.
wow interesting! :) thank you for explaining. Looking fwd to more.
@@rosalieelliottofficial thank you for your kind response. I had been watching your Angelina Jordan and Aurora reactions (among others) and have been enjoying your content. New subscriber!
@@Erfedwe thank you very much! I appreciate you subscribing. Lots more coming soon :)
@@rosalieelliottofficial First off Welcome to the best band and female vocalist of our time, I know bold statement but if you take the journey you will understand ,A few things you may not be aware of ? NW is the most reacted to band on UA-cam ever, 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 songs from this concert are much different ,
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 AfterForever 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.

@@rosalieelliottofficial also, at the time of this recording, floor had only been with nightwish for 5 months. this was the biggest concert she had done in her life up to this point (85,000 people)
This is simply the greatest performance at any concert EVER!
According to your taste
Then you havent seen Rammstein live..
Not taking anything away from Nightwish.
One thing that a lot of people don't seem to notice is the production quality. For a live track, it's incredible.
This,they did absolutely brilliant job with this recording.Whole gig is same quality.
Yes!! Agreed.
Looking back on it nearly 10 years later, as I have mentioned in other reactions, the Doctor Who saying of "a fixed point in time" applies. There is Nightwish pre-Wacken 2013, and Nightwish post-Wacken 2013. Wacken 2013 is what pushed them from just being a band loved by metalheads to a band loved by EVERYONE. Seriously, I have yet to show anyone Ghost Love Score that has not been absolutely floored (pun intended) by it :P
There are musicians and then there is NIGHTWISH... They are in a class, above everyone else...
😎🙏♥️🇨🇦
Rosalie; your energy and charisma is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Welcome to the Nightwish's party! Greetings from Argentina! 😉🇦🇷
thank you so much!!! :)
@@rosalieelliottofficial Hello!
It seems like you used EPICA in your video tags as well. Are you now going to react to them?? If you react to Nightwish, it's almost inevitable to react to Epica too. 🙂 They are the best of the best in the whole symphonic metal subgenre. Epica are generally heavier than NW since they also incorporate death metal elements into their music, but they also have several wonderful ballads and acoustic versions of their metal songs that can melt your heart. Can you tell me what would you like to start with? Something heavy? Something more radio-friendly or some of their longer epic masterpieces? Or maybe a ballad? That would be a bit unusual intro to Epica, but still good.
22:50 The Floorgasm brings yet another convert to the family !! 😁 Welcome Sister. You’re one of us now. Just FYI, that’s about 70 minutes into the show, and Floor had been killin’ it the whole way already. Also, that’s 82 THOUSAND people hanging on her every word; so, no pressure on her to Bury that (9 second long)high note.... At 6’1 and 170 pounds Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie Goddess, and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again. I love watching these reaction videos and my biggest hope is that people follow and enjoy the Symphonic Metal path I was led to. Welcome to it.
💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙
Infantryman-Nightwish Army. US Regiment. Kentucky Battalion
RIP Ann Waychoff-Commanding General-Nightwish Army

Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere 2015 ua-cam.com/video/45brzDJKZ3o/v-deo.html DO NOT CUT THIS OFF EARLY. The Nightwish Army is Murderous behind this Sin. Be Warned. 😏😏
The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley 2016 ua-cam.com/video/gbn9GczYBkw/v-deo.html (wait until you have a full understanding of the band’s history before you react to this one. It’ll add the context you need to fully appreciate this emotional masterpiece.)
No one does what Floor does. Her voice would be impressive enough, but the way she uses it is almost beyond belief. Clarity, pronunciation, the amount of fullness she carries up through her range. And then there's the way she becomes everything she sings, without it ever being cheesy, or inauthentic. Just totally natural, like she's been living every performance all her life. She's the 'once in a generation' (or perhaps century) voice.
I think this may be one of the best descriptions of Floor and her incredible voice!!!!!!!!
You've nailed it perfectly. Thank you. 👍😊🙏
@Ben We get it Ben. You prefer Simone 😉
@Ben Very true Ben 🙏😊👍
I'll go with generation, because Ronnie James Dio was in this century too.
First Floorgasm of the day. Floor is 50% Dutch, 50% Elf Warrior Queen, 50% Nordic Goddess - 150% and upwards.
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she
got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power
of her vocals.
We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard.
ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!
The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready!
Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
One of the finest live performances ever recorded. Anytime frame any genre
She's our Valkyrie Queen or Valkyrie Goddess. Both works. And it's the keboardist Tuomas Holopainen who writes most of the music and lyrics.
ah ok :) thank you
@@rosalieelliottofficial you're welcome. And thanks for an amazing reaction. It's always fun to see when people really enjoy these performances.
We even have a word for those chills you get when Floor Jansen sings.
We call them FLOORGASM
And you had multipel of them🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And the hair whipping/banging is called WINDMILLING. She is after all Dutch 🙂
Dear Anders,
She is *just-human* like the rest of us. But still very unique, very special..
And highly gifted as an Empath, very much a High-Sensitive type of Personality..
I myself see her more as a 'Shield-Maiden', going to battle. To battle it out in the music industry with her Brothers, shoulder to shoulder, shield to shield...
And yes, on stage she is (especially with NW) this Amazon Worrier-Queen, leading the Battle, from the front row...
I love how excited she gets at the opening of the song and I can’t help but think “you haven’t even been Floored yet”
Floor is by far the best female vocalist in music today, she can sing pretty much anything from rock to opera to Disney classics, and even does the raspy growling in a couple of songs too.
It was from minute 22:28 Rosalie's face went from surprise to awe and ended in disbelief that what's happening on stage is humanly possible.
Welcome to the Nightwish army :)
She held that last note for 8 seconds. But if you watch the more recent concerts, you will find one where she did it for a whopping 15 seconds! Small correction to what Brandon said: Floor studied rock and had a year of opera training.
Floor can do whatever she wants to with her voice. Her abilities go from opera style to growling like a lion.
Little does she know, Marco (the bass player) can sing with just as much talent! He SLAYS in their Phantom of the Opera performance with Tarja and the rest of the band!
I really enjoyed Marco and wish he never left. All of them are good but Floor Jansen and Marco Heitala just outstanding.
Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome Rosalie, to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. Symphonic metal at its best. Floor is our Valkyrie queen. This is just the very tip of the iceberg. This is a band worth exploring, a gratifying journey! Enjoy!
Just loved your combined reactions. Please do it again on more Nightwish material ❤❤❤
Welcome to the most reacted to, song in UA-cam history 🔥🔥🔥🔥
thank you! :)
This is really nice to read (and with so many up-votes!). Thank you for this.
@@tnae You both did a really great job! 😀
80 THOUSAND in attendance for this show in Germany. This band is very popular!!!! If you really want to be blown away, watch live in Tempere THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH! Nightwish killed it and you will be speechless!
Tampere
I am so happy for you that you found Nightwish and enjoyed it! Great reaction! I hope you do more. They are the greatest discovery I have ever found via YT and are now my favorite band of all time. I'll echo you both that being in the crowd during one of their live shows is a truly memorable experience. Borderline life changing. Saw them the first time in May in NYC and I am still trying to process. I thought I was prepared, but I was not. Have to see them again! Enjoy your journey, because it only gets better from here. 🙂 I subscribed for it! (I've also followed That's Not Acting - I have been there before)
Tuomos is the keyboardest, actually - Empuu is the guitarist. Tuomas writes everything, however yes, Empuu is awesome. Very humble. Adds to a song only what is needed in terms of guitar work, as opposed to shredding it all the time. Also, yes, they truly enjoy being up there and get it from the crowd and return it in spades. You cannot be in the audience and not feel it and react, and you feel it even in a video. I love watching Storytime to really see it, but you see that joy in all their songs, from the crowd and themselves. Also, Nightwish Army we're typically referred to. It's appropriate. You just suddenly find yourself an over the top fan and cannot stop gushing about them. Sometimes feels like you'd follow Floor into armed combat, were we back in those days, if you imagine her presence on horseback lol. Valkyrie Goddess for sure. They are all amazing.
Fun fact: you mentioned toward the end of your reaction that you’re sure they’d done this song many times. But in fact, Floor had just joined the band a few months prior. In fact, her first concert with Nightwish was precisely 10 years ago tonight. She was called in when the singer they had been touring with fell ill and discovered she was pregnant. Floor was asked to finish the tour with them and had 48 hours to learn the set list. If I recall, at the time that the video you reacted to was recorded, she was not yet made a permanent member. There is a documentary of those crazy days titled “please learn the set list in 48 hours”
I’ve been a Nightwish fan for years, through all 3 singers. I was already a fan of Floors from her first band, After Forever, which she joined right after graduation. When it was announced that she was coming on board I was both ecstatic and furious- ecstatic for obvious reasons, furious because I was at the final show with the previous singer. It was 2 long years before they came back to the US and I finally got to see Floor. I’ve seen them live 5 times and they’re absolutely unparalleled on stage, particularly since Floor joined the band.
For me, the crazy thing is they are so humble. They came and played in the smallest of small venues in Saskatoon, Sask a few years ago. Not much more than 1k people. But they rocked the place. To see how they gave us the same powerful performance as they do at any show... man... I love these guys. They just won me over so hard that day, I love them.
Wow that does say a lot for sure! Thank you for sharing that :)
I had a similar experience near me, there were larger venues here, but the one they were at was a small one. Great experience.
Emmpu plays what the songs want nothing more, and nothing less. They all are virtuosos of music. Playing multiple instruments at or above the professional level they have the ability to really combine into the incredible musical performances that immerse the listener in a sea of emotions.
Nightwish army New York here, welcome 👋 And this was the 13th song of the set!
I think it's time for a little story. 😉 Try "Storytime" from this same show. But just follow Gabriel's post, it tells you all you need to know about this great band.
Big Shout Out to the NW and Floor fanbase..
Today to the day 28 sept., exactly 10 years after the Big Denver debacle...
The final push that brought Floor together to her 'Brothers' ...
You just witnessed the first Song of NW that Floor worked over, expanding on Tuomass' genius scoring..
Mind you, in Wacken, 2013 she still was 'just', the relieve vocalist...
So much magic happended the last 10 Years, so much more to come..
Floor solo, Floor & Nightwish, all freaky musical geniuses at work & play ...
Nightwish, great band with the most versatile female singer in the world, Floor Jansen, will enriche your live Rosalie . Nice reaction. Greetings from the Netherlands
That final long note is always the money shot in reaction videos of this song.
Rosalie, your face at the end .....was almost the best part of the show.
thanks so much!! :) i was blown away
@@rosalieelliottofficial - We've ALL been there the first time we experienced THIS performance!
This is the last song/video I showed my mom before she died. She had been in a choir at UCA here in Conway, Arkansas back in the 80s that did operatic pieces and she was a tenor. She got to go to germany , Switzerland, france and other places. She sang in Notre Dame as well. I'm glad I came across your reaction and to see the look of joy on your face makes me instantly start crying. I like to watch reactions to nightwish, to see peoppes faces when they hear such great music and then I'll suddenly think of my mom.
Tuomas is the keyboardist. Enjoy and there are so many songs. From epics like "The Poet and the Pendalum" to heavy "Slaying the dreamer". One of my favorits is "Dead boys poem".
Watch the guy's facial expression in the first few seconds of the song. He knows what's getting ready to happen. I can almost hear him thinking, "you're in for a treat!" 😂
I was fortunate enough to see them in May, despite the fact that it is almost 10 years later and in a much smaller venue, her voice and their performance are just as captivating! When they took the stage nobody sat down for 2 hours!
I saw them in May as well and agree. I was fortunate to be able to photograph the show at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD .... up close and personal ... the sound wave was incredible, powerful and Floor's vocals superb
@@williamthomas7509 Have you put your photos on FloorWorld?
I was at a Nightwish concert less than a month ago. All of these songs hit so much harder when you are in the crowd feeling it all.
Nightwish is totally amazing Live!! But I’ve never seen anyone top Rammstein.
I have a question: I had tickets to a concert for december last year and was so hesitant, I didn't go. I was so afraid, that the departure of Marco and the health issues of Floor would ruin the Nightwish experience for me. Did I miss out? :( I think I did..
@@Weird_Beard_ I am sure that it could have been better with Marco but it was still fantastic.
Hey Rosalie! This is without a doubt one of the best reactions to GLS I have seen (and I have seen a LOT...). If you want to hear and learn more about NW, then following Gabriel's list would be the best thing to do! Enjoy exploring the rabbit hole named Nightwish and keep up the good work!
wow thank you very much!! that means A LOT!! excited I got to explore NW and looking fwd to listening and learning much more. :) big thank you also to Brandon from @thatsnotactingeither for his amazing video work and collaboration. Thank you for your kind comment, Kloe :)
You listened to the bestband in the world,greatings from Holland!
Great reaction - I'm sure someone has told you that it's actually the Keyboardist, Tuomas Holopainen, who is the mastermind of Nightwish and who writes 95% of all their music and lyrics 🤘
The guitarist is Emmpu. The keyboardist Thoumas writes 95% of their music
Emppu pinched Marko and Tuomas because it was awesome what Floor did. "This is real" At the time of this performance, Floor played with them only for 11 months. They called her during a tour through the States after firing their former singer. Floor said yes and had 48 hours to learn the setlist. Nice docu on YT btw. 😄
That’s crazy!! Amazing
This is such a react-ception. I love watching people's reaction to their first time hearing Nightwish, and now I can watch someone else enjoying someone hearing Nightwish for the first time. Double the fun! Or is that triple the fun? 🤔😄🥰
I'm counting down till I will see them live for the first time in 4 days!
That euphoric feeling you had, with the need for something to drink, we call that the "Floorgasm". It appears our Valkyrie Goddess has claimed yet another soul. Looking forward to more reactions, loved the joint format BTW.
Nightwish Army Arizona Division checking in 🇺🇲🌵.
lol... How can they top this she says.. This will be fun to watch.. ... Yep, that look in your eyes.. That was what I was looking for.
As others have corrected things, Empuu is the guitarist, and Tuomas is the keyboardist, who writes nearly all the music and lyrics.
Subscribed to be part of your nightwish journey. Greetings from Germany 😊
Welcome aboard! :) more coming soon
Regardless of the size of venue, Nightwish performs with the same intensity. Was lucky enough to see them in Md this Spring and the energy was insane.
Was also at the Maryland show and agree that the energy was great.
They are willing to play the smaller venues like Des Moines Iowa (they aren’t as popular in the USA as the rest of the world.) They still put on a great performance.
I saw them in Minneapolis MN - maybe 2k people. They still perform like there are 80,000 people. Amazing
@@josettelang1122 I was there too buddy! Amazing.
Now you are hooked on Nightwish :) This performance is one of the best EVER in the world of music.
Floor is known by many names. I prefer Valkyrie Goddess. She’s had three years rock training and one year of classical/opera/musical theater. Also was a vocal coach. A good follow up song would be the faster paced ‘Storytime’ from the same venue. It’s a great song to illustrate how much they all enjoy performing. 😄🤘 ua-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/v-deo.html
"everyone seems to be having fun"
Meanwhile Jukka the drummer is doing 40 hours of work in just 10 minutes. By far one of my favorite drummers next to Jon Otto and Vinnie Paul.
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish!
Cyprus chapter of the Nightwish Army reporting in.............................this never gets old :)
Great reaction Rosalie! I am glad that you listened to Nightwish for your initial exposure to symphonic metal. They are one of the best in this genre in my opinion.
thank you :) So glad I was introduced to them! very impressed
Hands down the best live operatic performance ever. And i mean - the best opera singers today do 1 performance in a play. She sang a whole open air concert. Song after song and delivered this crisp and clear and powerful set. Opera singers my azz. THIS IS TALENT.
Most people who react to this have already seen a lot of metal. It's great to watch someone for whom the entire scene is new. They just toured the U.S. earlier this year. American music audiences are clueless, but that was to our benefit- we got to see them in venues holding less than 2000, instead of the 80,000 that showed up to this performance at Wacken.
I love watching first time reaction videos when Nightwish are the subject material. Every time I'm wondering if your chin is actually going to hit the floor. Same reaction my first time hearing them.
Welcome Rosalie....❤️ Greetings from Finland🇫🇮😍🤘! I have seen them live twice this year😍🤗.
Hi Marina! :) Greetings to Finland. wow. must have been an amazing experience
I have seen this gig at least 250 times on itself, andsoooo many reaction vids to it... have to say This is the most true /honest piece of YT art I have watched. In awe...
Nightwish is a very special band, really nothing like them. They are a source of endless joy to my life. I really enjoyed the reaction :D
Thanks for this very interesting and informative reaction video. I enjoyed it as much as I enjoy Nightwish.
From iron maiden to judas priest deep purple to blacksabath I have been to and listened to every great band and vocalist and I can honestly say this the best live show performances I have ever seen🥰🥰🥰
Amazingly this was one of the first concerts she'd done with the band. She learnt the entire set list and all songs in 48 hours for her first one.
Glad you enjoyed this. It is for me the most life affirming piece of music I have ever heard. when Floor hits 'That' note at the end of this song I believe I have heard the most prefect piece of music I will ever hear. and I can't stop myself from laughing and crying at the same time, This band is full of an obscene amount of musical talent. Thanks for a giving it a go, and if you liked them, you may also like Epica, another astounding vocalist backed up by a very talented band of musicians. Cheerr for the vid, up the Irons.
Great reaction! Floor had only been with the band 10 months at this time, and she is 6' 1" as well as being the best vocalist in Metal!
Awww this song just gets me crying every time, it's so amazing! Thank you for reacting to this.
Although this is The dopest of all Nightwish songs and performances, you should really dig in to their discography, and have a taste of all 3 singers performances throughout the years. I've been listening them from since like 1998, and though I love Floor, Tarja was the original singer and oh lord, was she amazing ❤️ I recommend you to listen and enjoy the first 3 albums, then you will know where Nightwish came from.
And yes, Tuomas is the absolute mastermind behind all of this, one of the last true composers in the World.

Love the theatrical breakdown. Enjoy your emotional rollercoaster.
I LOVE discovering videos like this one. Because, well... Nightwish.
I really like you guys collaborating together on this, you had some great discussions about what you were seeing and hearing. I already love That's Not Acting's reactions, and you've really endeared yourself to me as well, and I really look forward to seeing more from you. One quick note, just to avoid confusion. TNA got the name right, but the wrong instrument. :P Tuomas is the keyboard player, not the guitarist. Not saying Emppu (the guitarist) isn't a genius in his own right, but credit where credit is due.
thanks so much for the info and kind comment! :) That's not acting either is great!
Hey Cali! Thanks for the kind comment (as always). Also for being so consistently gracious with me as a fumble around the world of nightwish. I will say that I am completely surprised that I got that one thing that wrong…I don’t know what led me to think that was Tuomas but somewhere I got that idea and, yeah…I’ve reacted to maybe 20 of their performances 100% believe that was him, lol 😅. But thanks again. At least now I know moving forward!
i love your energy Rosalie!
Floor Jansen.. Dutch glory! She managed to make me cry again. She is often called 'the Dutch Windmill' and she's known to give listeners floorgasms. I would love to hear her sing together with our petit Dimash 😉❤️
Rosalie, u just experienced rock opera at its best w a female lead singer Floor Jensen and as u felt her voice w such a range. I reacted this same way... jaw on the Floor. WOW what a performance. I'm now a subscrib.
You 2 vibe as reactors together so well. Seen you both individually. This should be a weekly/biweekly thing. Share something one on you heard with the other.
thanks so much! @thatsnotactingeither is great to work with! :)
Howdy Rosalie! Nightwish Army Texas Division reporting in. Glad you enjoyed their song. Always great meeting new reactionists through music. Look forward to seeing what else you discover and we discover along the way.
As impressive as the last belt is, to me what she does just before that, going from head voice to chest so quickly and hitting the notes spot on is just as impressive.
Agreed!!
: ) It's a PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE ... what energy, huh!?! Yep, Home Fry here ... but had to see yer reaction to this! Amazing! Be Safe
You got Floored❤....and I really liked your reaction
thank you!! i sure did :)
Been a Nightwitch fan for about 2 decades now. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi, beautiful reaction, great that you invited Brandon who has already listened to Nightwish and is informed about what awaits him and it was great to watch your reaction, Nightwish Floor Jansen's Army calls the Goddess of Valkyrie, I highly recommend that you keep responding to Nightwish especially on the Gagriel list, best regards.
thanks so much! :) looking fwd to exploring more soon.
Valkyrie! That’s the word I couldn’t think of…thank you !
Tuomas Holopainen is their keyboardist and composer. Emppu Vuorinen is one of their guitarists. At this time (2013), as seen in this video, Jukka Nevalainen was their drummer, and Marko Hietala was their bassist.
(Not seen in this video, is Troy Donockley, whom plays several different instruments, as needed. The band has also had a couple of changes since this time. Kai Hahto has since taken over as drummer for Jukka Nevalainen, whom now handles behind the scenes stuff for Nightwish. Marko Hietala has since left, and now Jukka Koskinen is their new bassist.)
What's so great abt these double reactions with one already knowing what's in store, is that our man Brandon (great name, almost..) experiences the joy of sharing a gem with a NW novice. So he's enjoying Rosalie's fall for Floor and her Nightwish brothers in metal, like some of us enjoyed his own first dive into this rabbit hole. Great stuff and so much more to come I'm sure. See that Gabriel's arrived already, so Rosalie will be in good hands. Ty for this one you guys, that was thoroughly enjoyable. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
P.s.: Don't know if Brandon's seen it yet, but Rosalie would definitely dig Floor's "Beste Zangers 2019" cover of Lady Gaga's "Shallow". No doubt it's in Gabriel's list, but a special mention won't hurt me thinks.
If you're interested, I urge you to pick this specific extended version here, with the before & after talk (English captions available). Here goes: "Floor Jansen - Shallow (2019) + intro and outro (With eng subtitles)" - ua-cam.com/video/UWWbgYJ6Q6E/v-deo.html
Hey guys Thomas is the guy playing the keyboard the guy you’re talking about Is the guy playing the keyboard,, the lead guitarist is the guy walking around the stage touching everybody..
He’s a happy go lucky guy,, but Thomas is the guy on the keyboards..
Thomas is the one that writes the songs most of them And he is the one that got the band together.. Floor Jansen is the singer, and she’s has one of the most incredibly beautiful voice on the planet..
Nightwish is my new favorite band and thanks for reviewing them..
I like watching Ghost Love Score reactions and I have to say yours likely hit the top 5. Really love the energy and the technical view.
wow that is very flattering!! thank you for such a kind comment. Encourages me.
Add to this wonderful performance, you need to know that she had only 48 hours to learn the routine as it was her 1st time with the band performing live (so I understand)
You also mentioned that you enjoy when bands put instruments into songs that no one really things belongs to the music style. Well, check out their song "I want my tears back" There are two versions. Live at Wacken (same consert as this) and the slightly more popular Buenos Aires version. Both Floor and the audience goes wild in that one.
interesting! sounds good :) i'll make a note. thank you for the suggestion :)
Not to mention Troy with the 127 instruments (exaggerated) that he plays.
@@christoneymobile that's what I mean. That Troy is in that song playing something many people don't expect in a metal song
TX to bring Nightwish to your channel! For that, I subscribe! 👌 Love your reaction 🤟 NightwishArmy from Québec Canada 🇲🇶🇨🇦
Nightwish Army UK Division new recruit reporting for duty. Epicness happens every time that Nightwish are on stage. This became quickly apparent to me some 6 months or so ago after I listened to Nightwish (I hadn't heard of Nightwish or Floor before) for the first time after being pestered by a friend to give them a listen, preferably live, so I did just to shut said friend up not expecting to like symphonic metal. It was suggested that I listen to "The Poet and the Pendulum" live so I did and OMG, I was blown away having never heard anything like it before. I haven't emerged from down the Nightwish rabbit hole since absorbing everything from the wonderful Tarja and Annette eras and now the incomparable Floor. One of my new favourite things to do is watch new reactors react to Nightwish for the very first time as it allows me to rekindle the feelings and emotions that I felt that first time. Magical. We are blessed to witness this wonderful group of magicians led by Tuomas who in my opinion along with Jeff Lynne of the Electric Light Orchestra is up there with the greatest songwriter composers ever and Floor is the best most versatile and accomplished singers that I have had the great privilege to see and hear. Thank you both for a wonderful reaction. Paul 👍🙏😊
Love your react! Always love reacts of this amazing and the best song ever!!! XD Im glad you enjoyed it! very funny ^^ ntmu both of you btw. peace out =)

Saw them a few days ago in Berlin. Best show I've ever seen and heared.
