Nightwish lead singer talks about her first ever show as the Nightwish leading lady in Seattle, WA just about 3.5 years ago. And I happened to be at that concert, too! ❤ She explains how nervous she was and the kind of pressure she was under with such short notice prior, but despite that how the Seattle audience welcomed her. I love Floor Jansen and she is a great fit for Nightwish. I loved Tarja a lot, but Floor is just amazing. She can do so much with her voice and her attitude is extraordinary. Not only that, I feel Nightwish is what she deserves, just as much as Nightwish deserves her. Here's to more operatic vocals in future songs, eh, Tuomas? ;) - Наука та технологія
Floor nails both Annette and Tarja songs! But she has her own voice as well which makes her incredibly fun to listen to no matter what song she sings.
Here is two Nightwish songs:

Floor saved Nightwish's career and Nightwish saved Floor's career. They were both chugging along ok but when they joined forces (so to speak) Nightwish as a whole just launched into a whole other stratosphere. And to see how humble and grateful Floor is here just shows what an amazing human being she is.
How do you make permanent fans? Like this. Her appreciation is palpable.
Such a special human being. We're glad to have you too, pretty lady.
THIS is why I love this band.
Floor and Troy are both special and they both were a good fit for NW. The band is so happy now, you can tell they enjoy each others company on and off stage. I remember seeing them with Annette and at the end of Tarja, they just looked miserable at those periods in time. Floor's persona is a force to be be reckoned with and she has a massive stage presence, that is something I don't think Annette or Tarja ever had. I won't stir up the pot about which is a better singer, but I will say that Floor is who NW needed to move forward as a band. I will say that when I first heard Endless Forms Most Beautiful, I was wondering if this was the right direction for NW. Well I may have said to myself "WTF is this?" But on the about the 3rd time through the CD, it finally clicked and I was like WOW! I realized what a genius Tuomas was for composing this masterpiece. While some people will never get the majesty and brilliance of EFMB, they hopefully will be the minority. Great band, great future ahead.
I was the first album of theirs that i got.....I am a relatively new fan but oh how they have saved my sanity...i can say i like all of the vocalists they have had but pref is definitely Floor....She just interacts with their audience sooo much better, and turns a concert into a journey.
I discovered them last year and I watched them wit Tarja and Anette. Tarja acted like a star with a stage band with no connection.
There is something with Floor that clicks on me. She brings so much soul to the songs it’s crazy. And I love the connection with the rest. The way she waves at Tuomas in Alpenglow and when he smiles back. They are really happy now, and I love that.
I was watching "Please Learn the Set in 48 Hours" again the other day and I would love to seen that made into a full on movie ending with the Wacken set. Watching that whole tour unfold on youtube in a series of live shows and seeing Floor grow into what is in my opinion the best signer for what Nightwish has becomes and continues to evolve into was magical as a fan.
that is a really great idea!
Bro Floor isn't just the best singer of Nightwish. Floor might be the best female vocalist we have ever seen in rock/metal, and I don't feel like it's hyperbole to say that.
I saw Nightwish with Floor at that concert 3 1/2 years ago....and saw Annette's last show 2 days prior in Salt Lake City. I'm glad to have been one of the very few ( if not the only one) to experience that transition as a fan., and I do love them both!
Wow! What a cool opportunity and experience. Thanks for sharing.
WOW!!!! Haven't seen this before. She is every thing that is good in this world. Love her!
Yeah it was pretty awesome haha
Ok, this is plain simple: we LOVE her!
I love how she says GIVE IT UP FOR THEM
A special triumph of courage over adversity. Here are some lyrics from Song of Myself (Imaginareum) which I believe sum up Floor’s situation when she joined Nightwish back in 2012. "A midnight flight into Covington Woods" - Floor’s flight from Holland into the US and to Seattle. "A song of me a song in need” - Floor needed to rebuild her career and confidence after her burnout, Nightwish needed a singer.. FAST! “Of a Courageous Symphony” - it took a lot of courage for Floor to step onto that stage back in 2012. As she alluded to in her magnificent speech. I would be proud to speak as well as she did.
floor jansen is the best female singer in every classified. .range,performed,power,skill,etc
Funny, touching, kind, beautiful, talented...
It's a well deserved love we're giving you, dearest Flying Dutchwoman...
I met her that night.. Amazing show.. literally cried at the end of Ghost Love Score
+High King Doge XII av Norge (Ignar the Husky) Lucky! I almost cried at the end of that song too, it's my favorite song of all time
I was right in front of Tuomas and at the end of the song he looked at me and smiled when he saw me, literally just ripped of my emotions.
I think knowing that he is able to have such a strong impact on people with his music gives him a great feeling. He's such a soft guy, too. Very calming when I met him. Even know, that moment in Ghost Love Score gives me shudders. I'll never have that feeling again. It was it's own unique experience. And I'll have another if I see them again and they play it. Much more powerful in person than seeing a live version on UA-cam of the song with Floor.
+High King Doge XII av Norge (Ignar the Husky) That's amazing. And agreed. :)
You met her without buying meet and greet??
Jessica Prieto
lol I wish. I met her with the Meet and Greet ticket.
Such a warm-hearted, humble person. Floor is simply the best!!!💖
Agreed
Thank you David for this clip. I hadn't seen it. Floor always shows what a sweetheart she is. Although being the best singer in the world, with a fantastic band as Nightwish, she is so humble, so human. What a special being she is...
You're welcome! Glad you got to see it. She is incredible.
wow. what an amazing lady. props to Seattle for being so cool and welcoming.
I want nightwish to cover an After Forever song 😞 I know that they won't do it but I just wanna hear Floor singing monolith of doubt again
4 me after forever is bigger than nw
Pedja Vukmirovic јесте!
Oh yes that would be amazing!!
Could easily fit troys pipes in somewhere
Yes to this 👏
@@pedjavukmirovic6770 LOL
Why does she always make me cry .....damn you Queen
This is beautifull, thank you for this video :)
+natalija You're welcome!
David thank you for this, i loved it, that is how i know Floor is, she is always like that, always loving the fans, and always honest and her self.greetings from the Netherlands
Thank you for commenting, Helen! Greetings from the USA. 😊
Power and grace. She's amazing
One of the most wonderful and lovable persons in the universe. Love cannot describe what we feel for her.
...and this is why she is simply the #Best!!!
A beard seeing a real angel in person, with pure unadulterated class! That only the most beautiful woman on the planet Earth, but Angelic vocal cords to match... So no floor, thank you. Oh how I love that beautiful goddess, and six foot of Pure Heaven
I remember watching the videos from that show after I heard Floor would be joining them, and I was hoping they would be good to her. They were!
And it's been even better for us!!! \m/ Floor forever....
Jason Osmond
Yes! \m/
Ever got a chance to meet them? Marco is a pretty funny guy ;D
High King Doge XII av Norge
I met them in Dallas. Marco truly is a joker. ;)

Nice! Tuomas was such a soft and calming person to meet. When my heart was rushing a billion beats a second, his presence somehow made it.. calming.. I loved it.
He truly noticed me throughout the show. Even saw me cry after Ghost Love Score. He gave a smile to it, knowing that it was such a powerful moving song to me. Especially with Floor singing the song, especially in the final moments when she takes it away. Even now, I get shudders from that night. And I know I'll never have that exact experience again..
That sound she makes at 0:11 Heartmelting
Oh Floor 😍😍😍
All class, fan for life.
😂😂 when she growls and says “GIVE IT UP FOR THEM” , u know Floor means business . Sweet though
Obrigado Você Floor, por me dar os melhores anos da minha vida, desde que entrou no Nightwish!
Floor it's the real Queen of Metal and a wonderfull person Nightwish makes the tight choice with her 😍😍😍🤘🤘🤘😍😍😍🤘🤘🤘😍😍😍 Pure Floorgasm 💞💞💞💞
FTW=FLOOR THE WIN!
Textbook on how to win a entire crowd with feww words and make than worship you.

The flying Dutchwoman floor Jansen is the best thing to happen to this band. Such a lovely story fully documented in the film "PLEASE LEARN THE SETLIST IN 48 HOURS" ua-cam.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/v-deo.html
Beautiful, unikat
Nightwish kiitos.
Floor Jansen was in Seattle???? I'm going to be kicking myself for the rest of my life for not knowing about Floor and Nightwish at that time.
Yeah they've toured and been to Seattle several times in the last 8 years. Maybe just twice? And I got to see them both times!
@@davidvkimball I've been living under a rock then 😂
Looks like I nice small concert hall ! : )
MUY GRANDE
How not to love her!
Right? She's great
Als ik floor zie,dan zie ik xena de warror princes
How about Lamplight Symphony by Kansas that inspired Ghost Love Score by Nightwish?
Oh did it?? Thank you I don't know!
why oh why oh why do they have to play such small venues when the come to the states?!?!? get with it 'Merica! they need to be in stadiums!!!
Couldn't agree more, it's criminal!
@@davidvkimball The next time they are in the Denver area, I wish they could play at Redrocks Amphitheater (seating for 9.5K). It woulds be wonderful to see a Nightwish concert under the stars.
@@machintelligence OMG that would be sooo amazing at that venue!!!
The Americans simply don't like the band, not like in South America or Europe. American culture is too different, and the majority of them either don't have the patience or the mental capacity to understand the lyrics.
And the amount of money put into the shows needs a return of investment. And they don't want to burn themselves out with the impossible demands of the public the moment the mainstream media get their claws into them.
Interesting you just touched upon a subject matter which was the prime reason for the widening rift with the band and Tarja in the past. Tarja didn’t want to sing in these small venues (USA) as she wanted to rest and preserve her voice, she thought the money they earn from these small shows was not worth it. That is why Tuomas blamed her for being greedy when he fired her.
Such a shame they play in venues like that in America. I feel embarrassed.
Oh absolutely, the USA has absolutely no idea what to do with these kinds of bands. It's kind of sad.
@@davidvkimball American public is sadly lacking in historical terms, they simply have no clue what sciences are about. They see it in religious terms, not in facts.
@@Paul_C Haha, I wouldn't go that far.
@@davidvkimball I have noticed more and more people just aren't going out to see bands like they used to, unless they're pop or country or of course Metallica or GNR. It's kind of a weird time. For a band like NightWish to play a bigger venue here they'd have to do an actual tour w/ other bands.. For example if they did a full N. American tour w say: Theocracy, Queensryche, Dream Theater then that would probably attract more people to a stadium or pavilion. It's sad. I remember back in the day there was a show at the local arena 2-3 times a week it seemed like. Now not very many.. most bands are playing clubs or small theaters anymore.. I hate it.
@@ryant3600 well I’m from NYC and I love Nightwish. And when Floor says “GIVE IT UP FOR THEM” she has me screaming 😆
To bad Seattle has gone down the crapper now ...shameful
Yes, it really has.
