Now that was excellent. I just listened to your cover of Dimash's "Endless Dimensions". Dimash's music transcends genres! On a separate subject if you haven't heard Eva Cassidy you won't regret listening based on her angelic voice, she delivers live and she's even a good guitar player. "Over the Rainbow" is a good place to start. She was from my area of Washington DC. Blessings, JK
Nice.. Please do reaction for Vanny Vabiola (Celine Dion) of Indonesia..she has an Amazing Voice ever check this out : ua-cam.com/video/Tw17ucDBNxc/v-deo.html
Hi Caleb, you like good voices, you definitely have to react to finish band Beast in black - Blind and Frozen. The Singer is greek and he has an amazing, hight voice (of course Dimash is N.1). Stay save. Greetings from 🇩🇪
Hello Caleb Coles [Music] ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar..
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in 2005 in the"End Of An Era" concert, in Helsinky, Finland, then with Tarja Turunen, the first female singer of the band, together with the bass player, Marco Hietala. This was also Tarja's last concert with the band, she was fired immediately after the show, with an open letter. Bitter-sweet memories..
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
As I saw you enjoyed this powerful performance of both Tarja and Marco, and I'm sure you noticed all the changes in the musical arrangement. The "responsible" is Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard guy.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals) - you just heard her. 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).
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 "
Hope you'll continue this journey with us, so I'll drop here a list of songs 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):

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 (start listen it in reverse order..): ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo.html

For entire episodes of the show with En translation, you should check Denise Hofs's DM channel: www.dailymotion.com/xpinkeu/videos
In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us, which you can find on her YT channel ua-cam.com/channels/xy4Ijz2QKXXJaREs-isxwA.html - there are already 4 covers there, the first is "Let It Go" from "Frozen" (7 weeks ago, already over 1.888M views), the second - "Alone" from "Heart" (released 5 weeks ago) - 736K and counting. Then 3 weeks ago she dropped the third cover, in Dutch: "Is Dit Nou Later" from Stef Bos - already 216K views in 3 weeks. Just before Christmas she made a powerful cover of "Ave Maria" - already 181K views in just several days..
Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
Thank you, and also that is so great to do that in memory to her. I really do appreciate all that info!
It looks like perhaps next I'll have to react to Ghost Love Score at Wacken, which is Floor Jansen, correct? I Really do love this arrangement, I didn't know what genre they were but Symphonic Metal is a cool title. I only ever got into some Progressive Metal and Power Metal back in the day, this seem similar but not sure what to expect from upcoming songs. Thanks for watching the reaction and look forward to more in the future.
@@CalebColesMusic yes! Ghost love score 2013 wacken!
@@CalebColesMusic I won't sugest you any songs. Gabriel made it way good enough. For your knowledge thumb up and sub. Happy New Year.
Our trooper
Marco Hietala (the base player singing here) is the ever-present element in all of this, an he'll surprise anybody along the journey. Floor (the current female vocalist) is a swiss army knife of singing but Marco is a grab-bag of surprises.
Tarja the original singer ( and imho the best) was very sick during this show, high fever and she vomited between songs. So kudos to her. Cheers from the land of the Nightwish. Finland
I like how Marko lets this last note fall down all the way down to a deep growl. He does this again with Floor in Romanticide (Wacken) with Floor.
Walking In The Air. It does not have crazy amounts of views of reactors but it does something to me. If not a reaction please give it a listen.
Will do!
@@CalebColesMusic yes, please do, it is a cover of the music from the movie Snowman. If you choose to listen to it I would suggest you to pick the live version from the concert From Wishes to Eternity in 2000
@@CalebColesMusic please react to it, it such a beautiful song and also "swanheart" from the same concert.
Since you are a singer/songwriter yourself I'm sure you would love Nightwish "Ghost Love Score" Wacken 2013. Composition by the band founder/leader Tuomas Holopainen, and vocals by Floor Jansen, the 3rd and current Nightwish female vocalist. The one you just heard is Tarja Turunen, the original female lead vocalist of Nightwish. The role of the Pahantom was sung by Maorko Hietala, the bassist/vocalist.
I like the way you go back to check some points of interest, some high notes in this case, after you have finished watching the video/performance.
Greetings From Helsinki Finland!
Here's link to correct video (lyrics available with closed captions):
NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE)
ua-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/v-deo.html
Another song worth checking out is
NIGHTWISH - The Poet And The Pendulum (OFFICIAL LIVE)
ua-cam.com/video/N4Vfy5yCy-c/v-deo.html
This song is about the feelings of the band's keyboardist/composer Tuomas Holopainen after getting the fan reaction for kicking Tarja Turunen from the band.
The Phantom of the Opera show here was from the last gig Tarja was still the singer for the band. She got kicked from the band with an open letter immediately after the show!
GLS with Floor is fine, but with Tarja is another level..
Sure that shold be the next song
Tarja is my preference of Nightwish frontwoman and she has the first 5 albums with the band with lots of epic songs. I would love to hear your reaction of "Everdream" with Tarja from the same concert "End of an Era". Thank you and Happy New Year!
Tarja WAS Nightwish.
A singer AND a a song writer you say , This is going to be an awesome ride to watch 😜
OMG first you reacted to Dimash who is my #1 singer and made great covers of his songs
NW Army is here 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Haha, welcome!
They are everywhere. Lol I am one of the fans too.
French bataillon reporting in !
Southern Michigan, US reporting for duty! 🤘
Scots regiment reporting!
Thanks so much for the reactions. Nightwish is great with your reactions makes the experience even greater✨💫⭐️💛
Thanks, really appreciate that!
I just had another listen to your version of Endless Dimensions. I love your maaad hard rock version, stunning vocal and the driving electric guitar work 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
Thanks so much Jeannine!! Really glad you liked it - it was a lot of fun to make :)
Hello! nightwish was born in 1996 with Tarja Turunen (who sings here). initially Toumas (keyboardist) wanted to form an acoustic band until he heard Tarja's voice and was so surprised that he decided to do this fusion that we know as symphonic metal. they made 5 records. songs like ghost love score, sleeping sun, slaying the dreamer, planet hell, nemo, etc etc were sung by Tarja many years ago. Now Floor sings them, that is why you will see many repeated songs sung by these two singers, they are different versions. Tarja has an academic training in opera since very young, so she has a lot of technique and vocal range. If you compare ghost love score you will see the difference that I speak of. I like the old versions better. all they recommend after 2005 is without Tarja. She stayed until that year and then formed her solo career with a lot more variety in her voice. you will find many fans of Floor recommending her songs in Tarja's videos and insisting tirelessly without commenting on anything good. I recommend the old nightwish: ghost love score, wishmaster, slaying the dreamer, sleeping sun, ever dream, nemo, planet hell, the beauty of the beast etc. and after his solo career: supremacy (I think it reaches a higher note), walk alone, anteroom of death, serene, victim of ritual etc. I really liked your analysis, Tarja and Marco made a great pair !! sorry for my English. greetings from Argentina!
I agree. I believe in always checking out the original vocalist of any band first.
Loved your reaction and enthusiasm to this, Caleb. I downloaded this performance some months ago, it's fantastic! It's great to know POTO is you favourite musical. It's a masterpiece and is my favourite also, I never tire of listening to it. I saw it when it played in Sydney waaay back, with Rob Guest playing the Phantom, may he RIP, gone too soon 😔 I went to see Love Never Dies three times when it played here in Sydney, with Ben Lewis, love his baritone as the older Phantom and Anna O'Byrne. I met Ben and Merecedes at the Stage Door after one of the shows. I have the DVD that was made of one of the Melbourne shows and the DVD of POTO with Gerry Butler and they both get good rotation with my stereo hooked up and blasting.
Oh wow that would have been great. Yes gone way too soon. I saw it with Anthony Warlow in Melbourne, even though I lived in Sydney at the time we didn't know if it would be coming to Sydney so I went down to Melbourne to see it. It was incredible!
Great reaction Caleb Coles! Thank you very much!
Tarja Turunen was the original Nightwish vocalist for almost a decade, defining a big part of their sound with her classically infused vocal techniques which combined perfectly with Nightwish's inicial power metal and later symphonic metal sound, and also with Marco's vocals, as you noticed it was a perfect match in every way!
The great thing is that Tarja has been having an amazing solo career in the last 15 years... Her voice is high (her last note on this one is an Eb6), but also a full and really powerfull suported sound (and throughout her career she keeps on experimenting new things with her vocals, including a haunting dark and lower register she can belt out), plus having this theatrical presence on stage... I'm really glad you liked it!
As a sugestion, I'll leave you 3 links for some essential Live performances by Tarja Turunen solo in recent years:
1st - A very energetic Live version of "Victim of Ritual" (song composed by Tarja)... the crowd really goes wild at this one - from Woodstock festival: ua-cam.com/video/GxDnhbGTJSs/v-deo.html
2nd - An unbeliavable version of "Supremacy" (a Muse cover) Live at Hellfest festival - Very powerfull high notes: ua-cam.com/video/wmMBI_0X3oE/v-deo.html
3rd - As an amazing follow up to the Nightwish video you just watched, here it is "Stargazers" in a Live performance in which Tarja surpassed even hersef in the studio version from Nightwish's legendary "Oceanborn" album... its simply a Perfect and unmatched rendition: ua-cam.com/video/2Hl2ibaUvcQ/v-deo.html (starting at 40.56min)
I hope you enjoy these ones as much as I do! Cheers! \m/ \m/
YOUR vocal range, omg, just imitating them, this is the first of your videos I've watched, holy shit.
I just love her voice, her stage presence, the way she carries herself, her style.. Please react to Tarja alone in Woodstock 2016 with Supremacy (Muse cover) and in Argentina 2013 with Oasis. Stay safe.
Oh Caleb, this breaks my heart. I was there in the End of Era, this is my home genre, my home land, my favorite band all time. Been in so many concerts. What happened after End of Era truly was devastating, Tarjas follower as a solist Anette was such a disappointed, she was not bed, but not right for tye genre and now Floor is doing a great job again. As the End of Era goes the crown jewel is Ghost Love Score, it is wonderfully done also by Floor in Wacken version, the current official live version. Ghost Love Score is by far greatest masterpiece in the symphony metal. I have been waiting some reactor to be ballsy enough to do a comparison between the two, to point out awesomeness of both, not finding which is better as there js no such thing.
Loved following your face as it feels I am seeing the song again for the first time or screaming in the audience.
As the other great songs, fabulous songs, worth looking at in this concert is Siren, Slaying the Dreamer, Wishmaster and Wish I Had an Angel,
Welcome to world of Mozarts of today, they live here, in this genre and in this band.
Nightwish are on another level. Nice to see you again
if you are a metal head haha I recomend "slaying the dreamer'' from the same dvd (end of an era) :)
And some songs that show a little of tarja's voice are sleeping sun and the siren, from this dvd and walking in the air and swanheart from wishes to eternity dvd. hope you geep going on NW era (not just Floor as most of people who star to react to NW do...)
I'm glad you reacted to this and I hope you'll do more Nightwish reactions in the future ;) because they have really talented singers! Their Wacken show from 2013 is awesome. I highly recommend watching this show if you have time.
I will definitely check it out, I few people on the poll I did said Ghost Love Score from Wacken was a must :)
@@CalebColesMusic Yes I can confirm that! Alone the music is awesome because of the changes of rhythm and dynamics and then of course the vocals...
@@CalebColesMusic you should check out high hopes pink floyd cover by nightwish, you can clearly hear his amazing voice
Do another cover (high hopes (from same concert (end of an era)
Night Wish singing Phantom of the Opera is always one of my favourites! It’s hauntingly beautiful and metal AF.
😍Greetings from Finland🇫🇮! Nightwish Wacken 2013, please!
Hey, you should definitely check out nightwish Pink Floyd high hopes cover same show featuring Marco as lead singer, awesome 😎and wacken 2013 nightwish, awesome 😎Floor Jansen in 2013 and up, awesome 😎
Yeah.... Nightwish! Love classic trained voice with hard rock music. This is my all time favorite performance from Nightwish with Sopranosinger Tarja! Greet U from Austria... stay well!

Thank you, really appreciate the recommendations!
Very good recommendations, I have nothing really to add at the moment. Maybe Ghost Love Score from Wacken as the most "traditional" Nightwish introduction, but our friend here seems to like the faster paced / heavier stuff, so "Romanticide" and "Song of Myself" would be other "classics" to react to, but I appreciate your effort to leave the trodden reactors path with some titles heard not so often :thumbsup:
@@CalebColesMusic That performance ought to be from Helsinki, the last concert with Tarja Turunen (1996-2005). Eventually things became unbearable, after Tarja came up with a businessman as her fiance, who didn't share the same passion for music, others than how to make the most money with her. There might also be some kind of an unspoken, unrequited love issue involved, between the band leader and Tarja, which didn't help to settle the controversies at all.
Rumors said that they already dreamed of having Dutch singer Floor Jansen from their former support band "After Forever" as a replacement, yet "AF" did not disband until 2009. So Nightwish needed to restart with the Swedish singer Anette Olzon (2007-2012) in the meanwhile until Floor Jansen (2012- today) took over.
Quite a few songs are suitable for double reactions, as there are different versions from the singers. Both Tarja and Floor had extraordinary appearances live on stage. Also there are great stripped down accoustic live versions from Floor, like "How's the Heart" or "Nemo" from the above list which can be compared with the full band versions. 2nd singer Anette was great for recordings in studio, yet there are not many good live appearances with her on YT. If you will ever will react to "Yours is an Empty Hope", I suggest the version live from Mexico City, because contrary to the Wembley version, Floor's growling is mixed even-handedly with the clear-singing of the bassist's Marco male voice.
I'm glad that I learned about Nightwish not before 2013 when they had a benchmark concert with Floor Jansen at Wacken Open Air. So the current lineup is by far my favorite one ;-) though I miss the original drummer Jukka who needed to resign in 2015 due to health issues and was bringing in his friend Kai as an alternate. Nightwish' latest expansion and 6th band member Troy (UK) was officially joining the band alongside with Floor Jansen in 2012. Before that he already acted as a temporary guest musician since 2006. Besides of being the band's third voice, he's playing multiple wind and string instruments on stage.
@@MacZussie quote"There might also be some kind of an unspoken, unrequited love involved, between the band leader and Tarja, " enquote
Yes, That has always been part of my private working theory, that Tuomas had a deep private crush on his childhood friend. Yet Tuomas seems to be the classic introvert so will both feel the pain deeper, but also need to express it with minimal damage to others. I doubt if he will every confirm the full depth of loss in words. But in music - Poet and the Pendulum takes on so much more depth when you understand this emotion has now had 15 years to attempt to heal and/or resolve. I hear that Floor and Tarja are good friends and that might be some of the bridge for healing and restoration of relationship that Nightwish and Tarja could use.
Thanks for an informative reaction :) looking forward to seeing you do more Nightwish songs!
Привет самой очаровательной улыбке.С новым годом.Для меня давай лучше побольше своего вокала в новом году, и конечно не забывай Димаша.Береги себя.Люблю только вас двоих вы мои Айдолы!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Caleb, since I've been a long-time subscriber, it's cool to see you finally react to Nightwish. They are a phenomenal band with tremendous talent, as well as a huge diversity in their music, from sounding like Metallica to sounding like a celtic folk band.
Since Gabriel gave you the rundown, I'll just add something that you may not hear from the hardcore fans that particularly pertains to you and I as Christians.
Just know going in that several band members, including the primary composer Tuomas (keyboardist), are outspoken atheists, and even have a few songs that are direct attacks on Christianity and/or God ("Yours is an empty hope," and "Greatest show on earth" are 2 examples).
Does this take away from their tremendous musical abilities? Not at all. Do all their songs have such themes? Not at all.
I really enjoy many of their songs. But, knowing that you're a Christian, I thought it appropriate to let you know those things up front, as you begin diving into this band.
Take care brother. Happy New Year to you and your family!
I appreciate your open candor, particularly since it was very tactful. (Rare thing in today’s world of internet anonymity). But I’d like to (respectfully) disagree on a couple points. Yes the band members are openly secular/non-theistic. Meaning their outlook is centered around the foundation of separation from religious belief. This outlook puts value on what they know, particularly science, not faith in belief. The “science based outlook” is also very aware of not completely disregarding something until it’s proven; as such they don’t deny the possibility of a higher power. But neither will they belief it until they can be given enough proof.
They may have a couple songs that address their issue with a person being ostracized for questioning institutionalized religion; and are open to criticizing the man-made structure of religion. BUT that is far from being an attack on religion in it’s pure essence (let alone Christianity specifically). The songs I’m referring to are Weak Fantasy (previous album) and Tribal (newest album).
In regard to the two songs you mentioned (both from the previous album): Yours Is An Empty Hope is not an attack on Christianity, religion, or even belief system(s). It’s a response to people hiding behind anonymity while creating narcissistic illusions of vanity, particularly on the internet. When asked, Tuomas has explicitly stated that the song isn’t about the other theme found in The Greatest Show on Earth.
TGSOE is 100% a celebration of life on Earth through the process of evolution. Yes it has spoken word narrative provided by Richard Dawkins, but no where in the lyrics or narration is there an attack on religion, let alone Christianity. Sure, it directly contradicts religious beliefs found in the most religions; including, but not limited to, the 3 Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). But to call that an attack is a bit misleading. I will admit that Dawkins can be a bit abrasive with his own published rhetoric, but that abrasiveness is not found in TGSOE (nor is the Darwin quote).
I can whole heartedly understand how someone with a faith-based belief system may feel like their religion is being attacked via the celebration of evolution, but context matters. Ultimately it’s a celebration of life on earth; which is shared amongst many religions as well. The one thing we need in this modern world is civility and communication. This reply was my respectful attempt to keep that channel open amongst all of us who share the love for their music, because that’s what it is in the end: amazing music in terms of structure, composition, and vocal/instrumental performances.
For anyone interested I cannot recommend this react/analyze series enough: Guylian Prince, a French-Canadian Franciscan Friar for the past 25 years who specializes in analysis of texts, particularly holy scripture. He also has a deep appreciation for metal and rock music, supported by musical training. He does a deep dive analysis into many of NW’s songs, including the newest album in it’s entirety (even the track Tribal). Please show this guy some support, one of the truest lovers of music I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch.

It’s great to see an open and respectful discussion about this kind of topic. I’d like to add that science and religion aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive - even more true of science and spirituality. To me, Tuomas has a reverence for the universe and nature that is spiritual -and that’s why some of his music (esp Human Nature) give me both chills and tears. (The website Nick suggests is great - am in the process of listening to a very in-depth analysis of Human Nature lyrics.).
@Joshua Burba no problem my dude. I’m happy to hear you appreciated my comment and look forward to your expanded reply when you get the time.
Hi Caleb🤗First time for me too. I like it🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
It is really good, isn't it? Great way to change the original.
@@CalebColesMusic Yes, I agree. I love the original and this version too, very poweful🤗🇮🇹
@@manuelachiara3898 E allora benvenuta Manuela! I Nightwish sono veramente fantastici, sono sicuro che li apprezzerai strada facendo.
Chi hai ascoltato è Tarja Turunen, la prima cantante del gruppo, molto lirica, accompagnata dal bassista Marko Hietala (anche lui molto bravo, credimi: questo è nemmeno metà di quel che sa fare 😉).
Con una BUONA probabilità, la prossima reaction sarà con l'attuale (e terza in ordine di tempo) cantante principale: Floor Jansen.
Se ami Dimash, apprezzerai molto anche lei...😉
Saluti!
👋🇮🇹🖖
@@flaviovergottini652 Grazie per le informazioni.Questo gruppo è nuovo per me. Sono un'amante della musica metal(I Rammstein sono la mia ultima passione), ma da quando ho scoperto Dimash il mio modo di ascoltare e sentire la musica è cambiato.... Siamo decisamente su un altro livello, in tutti i sensi, ed è difficile descriverlo a parole.... Comunque, sono veramente curiosa di ascoltare ancora questo gruppo, mi ha colpito davvero, la qualità è davvero alta👍🤗
@@manuelachiara3898 Rammstein e Dimash eh? BENISSIMO! Credo che rimarrai parecchio soddisfatta, allora...😁
Ovviamente, "no spoiler policy" dal sottoscritto...😉
Ci vediamo! Stammi bene!
Ps: che goduria trovare una connazionale nella comment section!
Thanks for a reaction. Looking forward to more of your music. 🎵😃
Marko left Nightwish and there is a youtube video of him singing this song with Tarja after 18 years and you can see how much it means to them. It really was their song.
For band stuff and for Marco's vocals you could like their Pink Floyd cover High Hopes - it's old but it's great. As a songwriter you might like Storytime (Wacken 2013) and Song of Myself (Wacken 2013) and Last RIde Of The Day (Wacken 2013) that is also such great energy. Ghost Love Score is epic (Wacken 2013).
I would recommend "Ghost Love Score" and "Storytime" (both from Wacken 2013) for your next milestones on your discovery journey through the Nightwish universe. It will be your first encounter with the goddess dutch singer Floor Jansen.
Nightwish at Wacken 2013- start with Ghost Love Score, Romantacide, Song of Myself and the NW army will let you know what else. They are amazing musicians.
What an astounding arrangement! Our friends use to come over to sing this while my wife played piano for us. Unfortunately that was quite a while ago. Phantom of the Opera is my favorite Broadway show. Les Mis is second. I never would have imagined I would like this rock/metal genre of music, but I love Nightwish. 😀
Suena muy bonito! Buen trabajao!💜
Absolutely fabulous - high calibre of voice work and musicianship. The arrangement is brilliant of this mammoth song. All of this makes this so enjoyable to a non-metal lover of music. Thanks Caleb for introducing this group with the excellent skills to us. Happy New Year indeed.
Hello Carol. Nightwish are a SYMPHONIC metal band, and that allows them to perform much more freely from the Metal cliché the world is used to...😉.
Welcome to this "Dark Chest of Wonders" (it's one of their songs) called Nightwish and Greetings from Italy!
👋🇮🇹🖖
@@flaviovergottini652 Flavio, grazie per aver fornito queste ulteriori informazioni su Nightwish. Controllerò il loro Dark Chest of Wonders. Ancora una volta, grazie e felice anno nuovo.
@@carolbell2336 So nice of you to translate your thoughts, TY!
Just a fair warning: Nightwish had two line-up changes for their lead singer and Tarja Turunen is no more with the band since 2005.
The current singer is Floor Jansen, a real powerhouse, classically trained but with a more metal background (even if she BEAUTIFULLY can go full operatic when needed). Between them was Anette Olson, beautiful voice in studio, rock/pop timbre, but less constant in live events.
I'm telling you because you might find yourself a little confused checking them on your own: they have more than 120 songs, ALL really different from each other musically wise, and the three singers, with their own interpretations, can shift the overall feeling of a random song a lot.
Anyways, a gold rule to follow is that Nightwish is better to be experienced live, so stick with live videos in your personal journey.
It's a long way down in this rabbit hole, so... be aware!😉
👋🇮🇹🖖
@@flaviovergottini652 lol, I've already been down the rabbit-hole a bit. I saw a couple of live vids and am amazed at the massive number of avid fans they have. I assumed in this vid that it is Floor Jansen singing, operatic voice being an indicator, but no I gather. Thanks for all your input. Ciao.
@@carolbell2336 err... no, maybe I worded my comment poorly: Tarja is the one who always go operatic (and she is the one singing HERE), Floor prefers to go more metal but can sing operatic too. Anyways you can't go wrong with any Nightwish singer... just follow your tastes.😉
And yes, we're a passionate army of fans, lol!
Has been a pleasure to chat with you: have a nice day, stay safe and happy new year!
👋🇮🇹🖖
Loved your reaction video my friend! Peace.✌
You absolulty nailed it!
Greetings from Finland, the northern home of Nightwish. Great reaction C. More please. Something with the current singer, our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen: perhaps the legendary "Ghost Love Score" from Wacken, Germany 2013.
Nice to see at least someone is starting their Nightwish journey with Tarja and not with Floor! 😁 Awesome reaction, I've seen so many and you brought something new and yours! 🤘
Try their latest album, they now have 3 amazing singers 😲😲😲
I love few songs by Nightwing for a many years. This song in movie is much better for me
Everybody will rightfully bombard you with the Wacken 2013 show.
Floor is... something.... different... ( not gonna throw in spoilers but... yeah... my geuss will be throughout all the ranks- from conscripts up towards the higher echelons with the Nightwish Army will have the feeling of "Told ya")...
But if you want to hear Marko Hietala - the badass bassist and vocalist - may I recommend the Pink Floyd cover of High Hopes from this same show?
I am pretty sure the song you heard in school was "over the hills and far away". It was the song who made them go famous around the World.
Subbed for more nightwish try any song from wacken they are all gems stick with live, look forward to seeing you do more.
Fully sick mate! 😁 At last, another superb reactor showing up, right after Tankthetech stepped down. Love your voice too, and you are one hell of a talented multi-instrumentalist. New sub here, for nightwish and your future cover/originals.
Hey Caleb, a fellow Aussie here. Great reaction and analysis. Just 2 words for your next Nightwish reaction (from the same concert): HIGH HOPES.
Very interesting commentary. Floor Jansen is the current front-woman of Nightwish and perhaps you would like to hear her version of Phantom of the Opera live in a small setting with Henk Poorte. Henk is the Dutch Phantom who has performed the musical many times. Floor has one of the most versatile voices on the planet. Metal, pop, rock, opera and even an occasional growl. Nightwish has a huge fan base for good reason. Try the Wacken 2013 concert for Ghost Love Score or for more heaviness go with Storytime. Here’s Phantom: m.ua-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/v-deo.html
You called it perfectly fam
Yes! you definitely have to check Ghost love score at Wacken 2013 with new front vocalist Floor Jansen
Marko!!😍❤💥
Marco is SO amazing
Nightwish is a Finnish band that started in 1996. The group has 9 studio albums. The first 5 were recorded with Tarja, the woman you just heard. Since you like guitar, I think you will really like these 5 albums, as they have a power metal influence, especially "Oceanborn" and "Wishmaster". In addition to power metal, Nightwish with Tarja was heavily influenced by Gothic metal, symphonic music and folk music. The 4 studio albums produced after Tarja's departure practically do not have the influences of power metal and gothic metal. The band has increasingly become a symphonic and folk metal group. The second vocalist is Anette, she recorded 2 studio albums, and the current one is Floor, who also recorded 2 studio albums. The three singers have completely different styles, but are good in their own way. Anette has a pop vocal, and Floor explores different styles, such as rock, pop and lyrical singing, but her lyrical singing is not as developed as Tarja's. Floor sings a lot in belting, even in the songs made for Tarja. She uses lyrical singing in just a few moments.
Floor can use "lyrical singing". She just dont want do that too often. Its a artistic choice not to be second Tarja but Floor. No need to lift Tarja up by pushing Floor down.
@@petrihartikainen4645 I'm not diminishing Floor. She herself says that her background is in contemporary singing. Floor does not have a very developed lyric singing. She sings only the most simple and well-known arias. She never wanted to be a lyric singer.
Ay I’m Aussie too🖤
Yay hi from a fellow Aussie! I'm in rural Vic.
This performance is really cool. I'll explore your channel 😊
I'd love to hear your breakdown of Muse "Supremecy" cos I think Matt Bellamy is awesome with the high notes, I'd be curious as to where he hits
If you like this check out Bye Bye Beautiful. I dearly love Nightwish.
I hope you could react to Tarja and her solo songs too. Tarja has a very versatile career singing rock/heavy and classical and everything inbetween.
Floor Jensen among my top 7 female vocalists.
One is Lara Fabian but my numero 2 I don’t believe you reacted to.
Her name : Diana Ankudinova. Her Performance Of “ Rechenka” at age 14. Is is considered EPIC!!!
Diana has the most recognizable unique mesmerizing dramatic contralto voice in the world. There was a survey conducted by a ranking company ( I believe rank.com ) that ranked the best female pop singers of 2020 and Diana ( who is 17 now) was ranked Number 1. Even ahead of Demi Lovato!!!
As mentioned , Diana Ankudinova .
who many coaches, professional vocalists, and Reactors around the globe consider in possession of the most unique mesmerizing memorable amazing atavistic tribunal primordial shaman goddess voice in the world -any age. At age 14 her incredible and legendary performance of an old ritual wedding folk song titled “ rechenka” ( River in English) Is -to this day-considered by many professional vocalists and coaches around the world as the most unique and mesmerizing live performance by a vocalist -any age , in the history of Russian talent shows. And along with “ Human” ( lowest possible female notes she’s a rare dramatic contralto ) and “ Wicked Game” contributed to her winning not only the kids “ you are super” contest for orphans and adopted children 2 consecutive years but catapulted her to international fame
with millions of avid followers worldwide. And Famous composer Igor has accompanied her on the piano on “ Tomorrow Is A Lie” ( 4:26 .. posted by HTB amazing performance) And you might want to read a little about her tragic younger years abused and beaten by her birth mother and put up for adoption at age 3.
You may want to continue your Ankudinova journey by reacting the year prior to “ rechenka” when she was 13!
She entered her first kids contest in Russia where she sang a song that required masterful yodeling.
It was a masterpiece, a tour de force, some say one of the best yodeling performances on any talent show but in this performance it was the controversial aftermath that prompted the audience to give her a 5 minute Standing Ovation. And at 13 her rendition of “ Me Voy” in Spanish was emotionally impactful and when I suggested that my Spanish language friends watch they were shocked and couldn’t believe the perfect pronunciation and emotional feelings she conveyed.
And the following year and year thereafter she won the 2 “ you are super” Russian contests.
After reacting to Rechenka and Wicked Game and Human Please react to “ yodel time” And you’ll witness a yodeling masterpiece. Some recent songs ( she’s 17) worth reacting to are :
from her channel. Please subscribe. A beyond amazing rendition of “ by your voice” showcased on her channel a couple weeks ago Only a handful in the audience but if there were 50,000 in USA they would have screamed, yelled, applauded during and after.
And her recently released MV that is breathtaking with nature imagery that enhances the emotional impact.
And later on somewhere down the road you must react to her cover of the classic Beatles song “ Oh Darling” when she was 10 years old!!! And she was live on a radio show and did the song in one take!!!!!!!!
Which to this day remains my favorite cover of this Beatles classic.
If you continue to react to Diana your subscriber base will go thru the roof!
All love in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida,
All
From nightwish you can react to Nemo.its a really nice song
Wow! First time here and mate you can hit some awesome notes!
Will linger around the channel and check out your work too!
Subbed!
Great reaction to a great song. I think you will enjoy "Ghost love score" live at Wacken. Stay safe 🤘😁🤘
Ghost love score at Wäcken next!! 🔥
Cale,when you are not expecting,you hear Dimash doing both voices ,hitting every note and surprising the world,he is just waiting for his voice to get more mature ,and he blast the universe,i garantee it,just a matter of time,I loved this version of Nightwish,great version,but just waiting for the KING to bring it out,with a few more nuances,this was nearly a conventional cover of the ORIGINAL,but as you know as much as i do,Dimash will give it his little spin to it!
Your first reproduction of the sound was very impressive.
I love Tarja!!
You definitely need to check out a few more of Nightwish's songs & there's also another version of this song with Nightwish's current singer, Floor Jansen, performing with Henk Poort which is also fantastic.
If you want a non-nightwish example of a fantastic duet I'd also highly recommend Somewhere by Within Temptation, the acoustic version with the Metropole Orchestra & Anneke Van Griersen.
React to Nightwish song The Islander live at Tampere. Marko does the lead vocals. He is the male vocals that you heard in this video. He is also the bassist and is quite good on guitar too.
☮️💜
Marco takes it. "They say" operatic voice is piercing, but the mike levels matter.
You should definitely react to Ghost love score from Wacken 2013. There is not singer from this video (Tarja Turunen) but there sings Floor Jansen current singer of Nightwish. But if you like Tarja you should react to song Nemo from End of an era concert (same concert as this Phantom of the opera is from).
I'm sure "Ghost Love Score" was recommended; I'd personally recommend their most epic piece, Greatest Show On Earth!
Tarja and Marco 4ever. ❤️🙏❤️
At the end, Tarja reached a Bb 6. I'm told that she had the flu at the time. If she didn't have that, I have to wonder if she could have gone higher.
I enjoyed this. Since you mentioned Phantom of the Opera is your favourite, have you heard Flor sing this song without Nightwish? - ua-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/v-deo.html. Also check out Nicole Scherzinger - ua-cam.com/video/69qSSrDIGPI/v-deo.html and of course Sarah Brightman and Antonio Banderas - ua-cam.com/video/j9qLfyLowjg/v-deo.html. All surprisingly good.
Caleb, when will do a Dimash Breath and vocal acrobatics analysis video? We're still waiting for it 😂. I have a suggestion, how about make 2 videos of different analysis, because if you mix them both, then the whole video will be longer, but it depends on you. I hope you'll reply.
And nice reaction, their voice are really good and the mix of rock and Opera is nice.
Plus it's the last song of the gig iirc
Wow. To pull that off at the end of a concert makes it even more incredible!
@@CalebColesMusic It was her last concert with Nightwish period. She was fired right after.
Your memory fails you!
Phantom of the Opera started at around the 20 min mark of the concert, she's still wearing the yellow dress that she begins the concert with.
Either way - she's impressive in this performance, I love it.
♥️Tarja 🤘
Btw react to ramin camirlo and sierra boggess aswell!! for me it's the best performance of the phantom of the opera by far at a theater!
"Ghost Love Score" in "Wacken 2013" with Floor Jansen in vocals you will be react...
Don’t forget version with Tarja !!!!!!
Next stop: Ghost Love Score Live in Wacken 2013
Tarja is a very good singer, but she is 'one dimensonal' (operatic style only). You should definitely check out the latest singer of Nightwish, Floor Jansen. She is considered the best and most versitale female singer of our time. She joined in 2013, so all video's of Nightwish since, are with her. As you are a fan of the Phantom, here is a link to a rendition she did on the dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019': ua-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/v-deo.html The other performances of her on this show are mindblowing also. Go to both her UA-cam channels to get to know her better. Due to Covid she uploaded many interesting video's with interviews, personal insights, covers and vocal masterclasses.
Maybe Ever dream from Wacken 2013 to calm things down.
Please react to Morissette’s JLo Medley on Wish Olympics! That’s a sing and dance performance, like a superbowl, all live as always. You’ll definitely see her endurance here.
You are welcome.
Great reaction, but you forgot to mention the mastermind behind most of the Nightwish compositions and arrangements, the keyboardist Tuomas.
caleb i need you for something.i am new in practicing singing when i practice the high notes(mixed voice) i start screming .whats the solution to avoid that cracking
When you say screaming, to you mean you have to shout loud to get the notes? Or do you mean that your voice cracks and makes and unexpected loud noise?
@@CalebColesMusic yes i scream to get the high notes
Lol You didn’t answer Caleb’s question.
Ghost and nemo reactions plzzz !!!!!
Next: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score, Live Wacken 2013. Prepared to be Floored - pun intended.
Please, next react to HIM " SLEEPWALKING PAST HOPE"!!! This is a masterpiece!
Marco 🙃😘🥰
this is a REALLY strange place to start for Nightwish, but they are awesome and you should definitely check out their own stuff, especially anything from the Waken 2013 concert.
new subscriber here my I suggest as your 2nd song you do Nightwish with there current singer Floor Jansen and the best one to start out with is "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken Open Air 2013 , this song highlights her vocal range and amazing versatility.
Kiitos. PLEASE Sleeping Sun End of An Era. Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala.
let me tell you one of the best; WISHMASTER!!!!!!!!!
You wouldn't believe she had a stinking cold for this performance and wasn't sure she'd be able to hit it ;)
Hi. Nice reaction. Please react to Jah Khalib - Джадуа (Jadua). This is singer from Kazakhstan..
DIANA ANKUDINOVA , please !!!
Tarja 🥰😚
