Our absolute favorite song reaction has to be Ghost Love Score. Every time I'm just sitting there like Katt Williams going, "waaaait for it... waaaait for it..."
I love Madonna, but when he compared to her, I was like, "How?" But when he said the song Frozen, then I sorta got where he found similar vibes. Still, nowhere near the same genre or style.
ROFL I got BLASTED for doing "the wrong version" of this song for my other channels very first React to NW! NW Army is DEVOUT and side by side with Tool Army, the TWO GREATEST fan bases! IF you mess up on something towards NW the NW Army LETS you know! lol... I am a member of the NW Army now as well! We WERE here! :)
Floor Jansen is actually an Angel who came down to fill the position of a singer for Nightwish band during a time when the Band needed a new singer. You know she's an Angel because she learned the lyrics for an entire concert in only 48 hours.
I'm only a teeny tiny amount Scandinavian (probably like 2% or something.) but Scandinavian music is honestly the best I've ever heard, it's so unique and refreshing
Yeahh am I army? naah, just casual listener. But this shit is what you get when you take Tuomas, give him a stage, a band and any instrument he wants, a couple scraps of paper and the femal lead singer of his choice. Tuomas is the keyboarder who writes the songs, looks the best and holds the most of nightwish. The female singers rotate a bit and people stay clear of stating their favourite, but they all have their fans. I think this performance is often descirbed as a "Floorgasm", but don't quote me on that. Nightwish has a huge set of gigantic songs and a couple ... middling ones, no one learns them all by name, but I kno a couple people (me included) who just like to put on a playlist everyonce in a while and play Minecraft or.. anything.
"People are out there crying" "I think I would be too if I was out there" I can attest that when I saw them live a couple years ago, it took everything in me to not cry. They had no opener, it was just them. They played for almost 3 hours straight. To this day, it is the best performance I have ever seen.
When he said "Frozen" after that I thought that ok, there was some vibe there going on actually, so it was a nice point this time. I sure wouldn't have thought about it, but I was able to get his point when he said it. Obviously NW couldn't be much further away from Madonna as a whole (or any pop thing for that matter), but a small fragment of a song can sometimes bring some surprising and unexpected vibes.
Reactions to Nightwish never get old...... NOTE to the Nightwish army : Guys we need to stop sharing Nightwish like this. Soon it will be impossible to get tickets to life concerts. And who is to blame for that then? No, no, no we need to hide them !
Well, it wouldn't be with Tarja the original singer, as she was kicked out of Nightwish a good bit ago. But I would definitely buy tickets to see the band still as I do like some of their new stuff, while Dark Chest of Wonder is still my absolute favorite for being the first song I heard of the band.
To be fair: They literally kicked Tarja out because she was making it about money and wanted to raise ticket prices. So I am very confident, that Tuomas and the crew will keep ticket prices reasonable, and tourdates plenty for the foreseeable future.
@@robertschneider8808 I have to say as an ex death metal vocalist myself, I never introduced myself as a singer, I was a vocalist. There's a huge difference between singing, growling and screaming, and the three cant be compared. They are completely different styles that require different skillsets.
Yasmin thank you for gloriously misunderstanding the point I was trying to make. Just read what Gus wrote and you‘ll understand what I mean. Also, I sincerely doubt that half of the existing metal bands use growling as their primary vocals. While it’s not my preferred vocal style, I do know that growling the right way needs a lot of skill but it’s a different skill than clean vocals - which is the style that most people would call „real singing“. There is a reason why many metalcore bands have to vocalist, one who provides clean vocals and sometimes screams and one who growls.
Hello @ Trash Talkers! Nightwish Army incoming here, your reaction just appeared on our radar.. You both really enjoyed this legendary band performing in front of a 82k+ audience. Thank you! Stick to their live performances and you'll never regret it! Since this is your first Nightwish experience, I'll give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan: " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female fronted symphonic metal band. 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-instrulmentalist 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). 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 " Other Nightwish songs with the current lineup of the band you may like: "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ua-cam.com/video/YwGSAFarHRg/v-deo.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) ua-cam.com/video/lQu5QjidHWg/v-deo.html "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 "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) ua-cam.com/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/v-deo.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) ua-cam.com/video/knqeI807ZlY/v-deo.html "Sleeping Sun"live at Tampere 2015 (ballad) ua-cam.com/video/rsotlzr9wNw/v-deo.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) ua-cam.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/v-deo.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ua-cam.com/video/wA44tjaP5n0/v-deo.html "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) ua-cam.com/video/B1UjgozeIPQ/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 2016 (dark metal) ua-cam.com/video/AN239Pbqbjo/v-deo.html And if you want to hear Floor growling :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Wembley 2015 ua-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/v-deo.html Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html You can also react to Floor Jansen's performances 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 Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
@@jamescurfman3284 In fact yes, I saw her commenting just yesterday, 4 or 5 reactions before this one.. proving again she have a good heart, better then mine. @ Miracle Agomuoh's "Ad Astra".
That's because they have toddlers brains. They let their cocks decide who they love as their favourite 'female' singer. Hence their vile comments involving Tatiana from Jinjer. Stopping their video to make chauvinistic statements about the singers body shape, stating how her image 'fits' their ideal of 'the perfect women'. Wtf? Are they virgin's or is this the plain piggery-styled thoughts of 2 "mates", eeeuuwwWW! They barely mention the rest of the band? Strange??
@@aryanbianca3189 you are watching a different video perhaps? They actually mention every other member of the band, even if in passing. I heard no comments about body shape or "perfect woman." I do not get what you are going on about. They seemed to be genuinely having a great time enjoying the music. They gush about what a great band they are and all that goes into the performance. I don't get your ire.
@@aryanbianca3189 Im guessing you got salty because they said she is beautiful, which in case you didnt know, she is. Go get laid you fucking virgin and stop hating on people online for no reason you shitbag.
@@Hollywood6IX You guys should check out Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom of the Opera. Floor Jansen is the singer of Nightwish that you watched in this video. Henk Poort is the original Dutch Phantom... Such an AMAZING performance...
@@proclaimed75 I mean, she can't do gutturals like in many Deathcore bands, like for example Alex Terrible (Slaughter to Prevail), CJ McCreery (ex Signs of the Swarm and Lorna Shore), Ben Mason (Bound in Fear), Ben Duerr (Shadow of Intent), and Dickie Allen (Infant Annihilator). Maybe she can, or is capable, but having long vocal cords helps with it, so men have an easier time.
"That's what music does. It's a universal language that makes you feel emotions". That's all there is to it guys. There's nothing more awesome than people from a whole other genre of music reacting to another genre of music. I don't give a damn about the genre, if you make my head bang, my heart move or my mind blow away by your lyrics, voice or instruments, you are making real music to me. Loved this video and your reaction guys. Mad respect for both of you. PS: That's 82,000 people, just FYI :)
Auto tune was never invited in the first place... This is *metal,* not trash, mainstream bullshit like Rhianna or Beyonce. If auto tune came within a mile of a metal concert, it would be stomped harder than a mark at a biker rally.
You guys ain’t heard nothing yet. Nightwish is a very special band and Floor is perhaps the most versatile and greatest female vocalists of our generation.
right, and she can make gold out of nickel...give it a rest..i loved Floor too, but singing in a poppish voice in those Dutch pop contests is not a challenge for her..
Every single member of the Nightwish army watches you joke and trashtalk pre-song and we're all just smiling because you have /no idea/ what you're in for. :D
Floor Jansen, The Dutch queen of symphonic metal is a rare breed of vocalists. She can growl, but Nightwish does not do much growling in their music. If you want to hear how Floor growls, check out "Yours is an Empty Hope" live from Wembley Arena. Se doesn't do it like Jinjer, but she can do some growling. See link. You guys were great to watch discover Nightwish and Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen). I look forward to checking out more if you decide to continue this journey. Nightwish is a band that must be experienced live to get the full effect of their powerful music and explosive performances. Take a chance. ua-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/v-deo.html - Yours is an Empty Hope - live from Wembley 2015. This one does have some Metallic thrown in for excitement. Let's take it up a notch. See you then!
She does a full minute of growling on the Wild Card song from Revamp. Yours is an Empty Hope is a bad example... she only does it for effect rather than to sing the lyrics.
I think you guys should know just how amazing she truly is......She was a new member and only had 3 Days to prepare for this concert and learn all of Nightwish's songs!!!
This was 10 months after she joined the band. Her performance evolved over that time, giving us this perfection. Yes, she had two days to prepare for her first performance with them, but that was months before this show.
The Nightwish Army sends their regards. Floor's (the valkyrie's) voice is some otherworldly force: growling, deep singing, operatic, that belting high note at the end... She does it all. Keyboardist Tuomas (the magician) is the composer and I can't think of another word for him except "genius". The guitarist Emppu (the bard) can shred with the best but he knows he's not the focus of the songs so he supports every song flawlessly and only shows his skills at the solos. Marco is a viking lord of bass guitar with an awesome voice. Sadly the old drummer Jukka (the pirate) left, partly due to days' long insomnia, but the new drummer Kai can keep up, no worries. Not sure if he has a nickname yet. Aside from Kai, Troy (the piper) is the newest addition. He started off just doing backup sounds but was fully recognized as a member a few years back.
Empuu, the guitarist walking around, is just a cool guy. But when it's his time he is killing it the way it fits perfect to the song. Marco, the bearded bass player, is also a fantastic singer as you'll discover on your nightwish journey. There is so much you have to discover with so many different styles and facets incl. folk, catchy songs and really heavy stuff. Heavier, faster, Marko singing? --> Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires
I'm 65 and its great to see a couple of young fellas such as you 2 checking out music from overseas ..its all thats different now cause the record companies don't dictate to them they way they do in the US
I'm so stoked you loved this! Further Nightwish must-hears are: Phantom of the Opera (live) Poet and the Pendulum (live at Wembley) Song of Myself Romanticide 7 Days to the Wolves
Both singers are insanely talented and sing Phantom fantastically but it's just such an amazing introduction to the power and skill of Tarja where you see her in her element. It's similar to how Ghost Love Score is an amazing introduction to the power and versatility of Floor (though it does leave a few things for a nice surprise later). Plus Tarja's version has Marco. Henk is amazing but Marco also needs some love. He's a power house, too.
Nightwish at Wacken 2013 is the gold standard of all concerts. They were perfection that night. Check out any other live performances from this concert.
Bro, you are totally right. True perfection. Every Song got lifted to a never since reached new top this evening. The full concert video is my precious in youtube.
@@jordanlamp5050 She initially had very little time to learn the set list but you have to realize that she had been touring with them for a year prior to this show so in that time she fine-tuned her performance to give you this . I remember seeing initial videos of early show in South America and Floor sounded a bit rough and unsure unlike here where she has found herself and commands 82,000 people to do her bidding, so to speak. The only time I've seen Floor live was with After Forever, back in 2008, and she was on point and I instantly became a fan. I am very pleased that the world is finally starting to recognize her for the amazing singer that she is.
"You can tell she loves doing it!" - apart from yes!: They're in Wacken. That's like Metal Mekka. If you're playing in front of an audience of (potentially) 75.000 (tickets sold) people, you're a little bit excited and happy.
cool information I've learned regarding this song: -This song was originally written for the band's first lead singer, Tarja, who left the group some time ago (there's a whole history and drama with their former lead singers that's fascinating in its own right), and that final explosive burst she gives at the very end was totally improvised by Floor. -Originally the song was supposed to fade out a little more slowly and let the instruments take over on the way out, but the crowd chanting 'Floor! Floor! Floor!' inspired her to toss in that extra flair at the end, and everyone in the band fucking loved it. -This performance is from 2016, but there's a recording of her very first time performing it with the band in 2012, and you can actually see the guitarist look up and grin when she belts those final few notes: He legit wasn't expecting it but he was so happy to hear it. -That 2012 tour was where Floor joined the band almost overnight; she was originally meant to be a fill-in singer during their touring season because the previous lead singer, Anette, had gotten pregnant and wasn't going to be travelling with them. apparently some drama happened with selecting their touring singer, Anette threw a fit, and almost overnight, Floor became their permanent singer. Nightwish has been around since 1996, and they have a crazy history with three different lead singers, each of whom has their own distinct sound and kinda defines an 'era' of the band. Their lead guitarist, Tuomas, writes and composes most of the songs, with the band members inputting after-the-fact instead of the fully collaborative style most bands take. Definitely a LOT to dig into if you wanna learn more and hear more. they've got 9 studio albums and 6 live albums at this point, and I don't think they've had anything I'd call a disappointment yet.
you definitly should check this out! just an epic performance. Also please check out Epica with Sancta Terra, ft Floor Jansen (and full symphonic orchestra and choir) you can thank me later ;-)
@@gary0044187 I got into Nightwish when Tarja was still in the band but for me Floor is far more appealing to my ears. Tarja's style can be overbearing at times and in reality she is a one- trick pony while Floor is more like Swiss army knife; a different voice for different situations.
I've been saying this for yeeeears: "Ghost Love Score" is the best 9-10 minutes of music ever composed! Only other song that comes close to being this epic is Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". I always love watching reactors discover their love for Nightwish when they watch this performance. And I get emotional every time I hear this song - but this, this will always be my favorite performance of this song.
That's what happens,when symphonic Metal meets empathic voice. I have them in my music collection for a year now. You may listen to this: ORIANTHI - Heaven in This Hell EPICA - Storm The Sorrow Epica - Beyond Belief Halestorm - I Miss The Misery The Pretty Reckless - Heaven Knows + Make Me Wanna Die Skarlett Riot - Break You might look out for Evanesence,too. Have a nice listening
IMO, greatest song ever written, by the greatest band on the planet, led by the best female vocal I've ever heard. What struck me was your initial reaction to Floor's first notes. Many reactors are confused and a little taken aback, most seeming to think the surprise of her sound over that intro doesn't work. You guys got it immediately. That was awesome. Hopefully you keep going with Nightwish because there is so much more to experience. I'd recommend anything from the Wacken 2013 show to continue the journey, thought the usual path is through Romanticide, Storytime, Ever Dream and Ghost River, but the list is long and varied. Nice reaction. Nightwish Army incoming.
When you kept repeating “this is beautiful” over and a over it reminded me so much of my grandma. She always said to me “Kid, this sounds gorgeous, what is this, turn it up” when I played Nightwish at home (or Epica, Within Temptation and, oddly enough, Malice Mizer). I think that when your grandma likes the metal you blast you’ve literally struck gold. Another stunning song by them is Shoemaker from their newest album.
I have never heard of Nightwish until this reaction video. After I post this comment I will then commence to find Nightwish music on UA-cam and became introduced to their music because damn! That was awesome! I love Metal but I love it more when there are female singers in a Metal band i.e. Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Xandria etc. Nightwish has a new fan in me, I'm ready to join the army 🤘😎🤘.
I have heard this song a number of times. Watching you guys and your reactions has made me really appreciate how amazing the band really is. I subscribed, keep up the good videos!
Great reaction! You guys would really dig Romanticide from the same concert. Heavier, but awesome. And if Smokey wants something a bit more melodic, they just released a new album, and Floor did an acoustic version of one of the songs, How’s the Heart, on Planet Rock radio (easy to find on UA-cam. One of the best live vocals you will ever hear - brain melting. Enjoy!!
Just found you guys, and as a lifetime metal fan I'm just starting to listening to hiphop and must agree with your comment. -"Music is a universal language". Every genre has its highs and lows. And a person that is trapped by one single genre misses out so much. Respect to you!
1st!!! Nice reaction! This type of music is called Symphonic Metal. FYI: there were 82,000+ in the audience during this performance. GLS is the 13th of 15 songs that NW performed that night. I would recommend either 'Ever Dream' or 'Storytime' From the same Wacken 2013 concert for your next NW reaction.. The singer's name is Floor Jansen. She is the 3rd and still current female lead singer of Nightwish (est. 1996) She had been with the band for 10 months at the time of this concert on 03 August 2013.
Can't believe I have just found your channel! Your reactions to metal are so real, so authentic, and I absolutely adore you guys. Total fan, and lifelong subscriber right here!
I love ALL of the "reaction" vids to this song -- EVERY single one of them are simply astonished at how amazing this performance was. The fans, myself included, love just sitting back and waiting for the spots.
Well now you two have done it, You opened the can of worms and you are getting a addiction you are not gonna get rid of, great reaction and the Nightwish Army is here to flood you with request, and please react to them you won't be dissapointed, please react to Song of Myself and Romanticide, same concert from Wacken 2013. Subbed to follow your Nightwish Journey
What I love about Nightwish is the contrast and tension they develop in their songs. You have the beautifully sung bits with an ethereal feel to them, then the smash-you-in-the-face instrumentals hit, with the metal guitar riffs and kick-ass drumming and soaring vocals! Love it!!! Great reaction guys. Hope you do some more of Nightwish!
Them being symphonic metal allows them to take their music in several different directions. They have the long epic multipart full production type songs like Ghost Love Score, The Poet and the Pendulum or The Greatest Show on Earth.. Then they have several of the more classic thrash heavy metal style songs like Romanticide, Song of Myself or Dark Chest of Wonders.. They even have a very celtic rock sound going on in songs like E'lan or My Walden.. You chose, but the Nightwish Army loves it all..
I would like to recommend a few bands that are similar: Kamelot (Veil of Elysium), Within Temptation (and we run), & Lacuna Coil (Closer)! I could give you a list 4 miles long, but these are some of my top 5 favorite bands. Check them out, I would love to see you guys react to them as well. Thanks. 😎👍❤
Oh don’t worry, she can growl too! Lol You’ll see a bit of that sooner or later I presume. As for the song itself, the mastermind behind the keyboards, Tuomas Holopainen, writes about 95% of the songs. The band is his brainchild.
Song of Myself, Ghost River, Romanticide and Dark Chest of Wonders from the same concert Wacken 2013 live. Legendary concert 82,000 fans. Whole concert is awesome, can’t go wrong. 🤟🤟✌️✌️
Welcome to the Nightwish Experience! This is the best, most versatile, awe inspiring live band out there! Nightwish army incoming. Congrats on your first Floorgasm! Next up is Romanticide. Live at Wacken 2013. It’s a heavier song..hang on! 🔥🤙
this was her coming out parade! Floor was officially announced as the new permanent singer after being stand in for 10 months on their world tour. Nice reaction guys!
You just summoned the Nightwish Army!) Thank you for sharing your reaction! Subbed! Well, you've just witnessed Her Majesty Northern Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen, she is Dutch). She has classical background, rock academy behind, and used to be a vocal coach for a number of years. Floor is the most versatile and powerful female singer today and can sing anything from more pop-y style, classic opera, to metal screams and growls. She is singing not words but emotions. And she is really tall, I mean 6'1 + heels. Nightwish is a Finland symphonic metal band formed in 1996. Floor joined Nightwish in 2012 in the middle of a world tour, and before that they had Anette as a frontwoman, and before Anette - Tarja (Tar-ya). For Floor it was first really big gig with NW, 82K people, at the time she was only for a few month with the band. This song was performed at the end of 90min show, at a 1hr 10min mark. The bassist with a cool beard is Marco, and he sings some parts too. The mastermind behind 99% of lyrics and music is a keyboardist Tuomas. Guitarist name is Emppu, and the drummer in this show is Jukka (Yukka), but later he was replaced by Kai Hahto because of health issues. Flutes/uilleann pipes/guitar/vocals - Troy, he did not perform in this song. Nightwish is better live, always, so if live performance is available, go for it. In their performances, they often using recorded backtrack of a classical orchestra for their songs. They have very diverse music, from more light songs to epic scores like this, and to really heavy metal stuff. For the next step, I can suggest listening to: - Storytime from the same Wacken 2013 live - for move heavy: Ghost River, Song Of Myself, both from Wacken 2013 also - If you want to explore more Floor versatility, check out her performances on a TV show Beste Zangers in 2019. You just starting your journey with Nightwish, and be prepared to be surprised (and sometimes shocked) time and time again! Their music is very emotional and diverse. Greetings from Moscow and stay safe! :)
Floor Jansen, blessed with an abundance of talent, and 30-ish years of practice and hard training. She does power training, works out, is super fit and has an amazing amount of core strength - just look at those shoulders, those arms. And she puts all that power into her voice.
Omg 😍 never seen you guys before, but thanks for this video, Nightwish is my favorite band, and see you guys saying this is just the best, thank you thank you thank you!
I love how both your jaws dropped when she started singing. You have over 20 years of music to discover from Nightwish. You will enjoy the journey. There is no other band like them. They always sound better live. Check out Ghost River Romanticide 7 Days to the Wolves Dead Boys Poem Greatest Show On Earth Song of Myself Yours is an empty hope Gethsemane Devil and the dead dark ocean Last ride of the day Here’s a short list to get you started.

One of the best reactions that I ever seen. So cool guys! I was on that concert. Travelled from Brazil to Germany just for Wacken! I remember perfectly this song and how amazing was! Cheers!
She has the charisma that hypnotizes people right away. Her voice gives you instant chills. Can't escape her gravity. Such an amazing experience to watch her sing. Seeing people's faces when they react to Nightwish is so enjoyable. Great reaction... Subbed... Already waiting for more! And Yes, they are THAT good live....
Great and genuine reaction guys! Really enjoyed this reaction video. Welcome to the experience of a lifetime. Nightwish - and you will be forever changed :)
Man, I've been watching you for so long, I had no idea you had reacted to this. This popped up in my reactions today, and I'm so glad you found them to react to. This is one of my favorite songs in the entire world. So, I'm Nightwish Iowa, and I'm sure the rest of the Army was here back in 2020 to welcome you to Nightwish.
Welcome to the fan zone! Soooo now another two of the NW trilogy: Poet and the Pendulum (live Wembley) The Greatest Show on Earth ( live Tampere) U welcome 🥰
@@AlexanderWeixelbaumer Well, yes, but some people need to warm up first, many people are NOT the type to jump into the deep end of the pool without learning to swim first.
82,000 people at Wacken for that gig! Floor is 6'1" before the heels and her husband is 6' 3" - their daughter, Freya, will be huge! Angelic voice? - try "Angels" by Within Temptation. 8:12 Jukka Nevalainen is THE drummer!!! I like Madonna's "Frozen" too and I see a (tenuous) connection!
song helped me through major crisis.need to hear it every once in a while to re-stabilize. this people-react-to-it thing surely spices things up. Recommending "Heiliges Herz" by Samsas Traum.
"She can sing!"
Nightwish army members sit back and smile. "Just wait."
Our absolute favorite song reaction has to be Ghost Love Score.
Every time I'm just sitting there like Katt Williams going, "waaaait for it... waaaait for it..."
@@yetiornot5726 spot on!
@@Aravah1887 Haha, absolutely! :)
My thoughts exactly hahahahaha
Agree, but still not better than Tarja
"Don't compare them to any pop. We will get blasted."
Correct, sir. ☝️👍
LMAO so true tho
I love Madonna, but when he compared to her, I was like, "How?" But when he said the song Frozen, then I sorta got where he found similar vibes. Still, nowhere near the same genre or style.
@@4Shaman20 ... Or planet...
Funny thing is they are a pop band in Finland.
ROFL I got BLASTED for doing "the wrong version" of this song for my other channels very first React to NW! NW Army is DEVOUT and side by side with Tool Army, the TWO GREATEST fan bases!
IF you mess up on something towards NW the NW Army LETS you know! lol... I am a member of the NW Army now as well! We WERE here! :)
Floor Jansen is actually an Angel who came down to fill the position of a singer for Nightwish band during a time when the Band needed a new singer. You know she's an Angel because she learned the lyrics for an entire concert in only 48 hours.

This song is alledgedly classified as metal. To Scandinavians, though, this is simply music.
You guys honestly have the best music in the world IMHO. You are all so talented!
@@bethneild108 I'm not Scandinavian, but I agree, they really do.
I'm only a teeny tiny amount Scandinavian (probably like 2% or something.) but Scandinavian music is honestly the best I've ever heard, it's so unique and refreshing

Amen!🙏🏼 Regards from Finland!
Longtime rap fans listening to 60 seconds of symphonic metal, going "This is my kinda music!!!"... LOL :-)
Exactly
Think i laughed a bit to hard on this comment to scare co workers
It's ten minutes long and the song is incredible to anyone who appreciates music.
they also said that's real singing, glad they are self aware ;)
Thought the same hahaha
The nightwish army will be here shortly! Good luck!
Hello there 👀
yes - we are here...
I’m in the Nightwish navy. Don’t forget about us!
Here we are :)
Yeahh am I army? naah, just casual listener.
But this shit is what you get when you take Tuomas, give him a stage, a band and any instrument he wants, a couple scraps of paper and the femal lead singer of his choice.
Tuomas is the keyboarder who writes the songs, looks the best and holds the most of nightwish.
The female singers rotate a bit and people stay clear of stating their favourite, but they all have their fans.
I think this performance is often descirbed as a "Floorgasm", but don't quote me on that.
Nightwish has a huge set of gigantic songs and a couple ... middling ones, no one learns them all by name,
but I kno a couple people (me included) who just like to put on a playlist everyonce in a while and play Minecraft or.. anything.
"People are out there crying"
"I think I would be too if I was out there"
I can attest that when I saw them live a couple years ago, it took everything in me to not cry. They had no opener, it was just them. They played for almost 3 hours straight. To this day, it is the best performance I have ever seen.
I cried when I saw Nightwish play Ghost Love Score live.
I did... A lot XD
Every single concert
I will proudly cry if I ever get a chance to see them.
Haha I can confirm. I've seen them 4 times and every time brought me to tears.
Decades tour (or EFMB), perhaps? I swear, I almost cried at that one too (and every other one)
I love watching people fall in love Nightwish. It is a beautiful moment.
Yep.....there's almost no other choice, these days...Nightwish displays all 'the' ingredients for the best music possible ;-}
i´ve seen hundrets of Reaction in the last 3 Year it´s always fun to see the jaw drop "the Floorgasm" ;)
"...Madonna vibes..." *I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.*
When he said "Frozen" after that I thought that ok, there was some vibe there going on actually, so it was a nice point this time. I sure wouldn't have thought about it, but I was able to get his point when he said it. Obviously NW couldn't be much further away from Madonna as a whole (or any pop thing for that matter), but a small fragment of a song can sometimes bring some surprising and unexpected vibes.
In that case it was spot on.
To be fair frozen is a really good melody
Floor to Madonna ..Hold my beer ..
Well "Madonna" is from old Italian "Ma donna" and it means Lady, so he ain't wrong in that sense.
Reactions to Nightwish never get old...... NOTE to the Nightwish army : Guys we need to stop sharing Nightwish like this. Soon it will be impossible to get tickets to life concerts. And who is to blame for that then? No, no, no we need to hide them !
Jesus. I never thought of that LOL
Well, it wouldn't be with Tarja the original singer, as she was kicked out of Nightwish a good bit ago. But I would definitely buy tickets to see the band still as I do like some of their new stuff, while Dark Chest of Wonder is still my absolute favorite for being the first song I heard of the band.
To be fair: They literally kicked Tarja out because she was making it about money and wanted to raise ticket prices. So I am very confident, that Tuomas and the crew will keep ticket prices reasonable, and tourdates plenty for the foreseeable future.
I like the idea
people just need to build bigger stadia for them to play in
And that.......is called a "floorgasm" her name is floor Jansen lol.
FLOOR GANG OUGH!!!
She's married now, changed her last name.
@@eherlitz that's old, no need to change her last
@T. Dougs Heh, no he's called Hannes. Brilliant drummer in a band called Sabaton.
"Shes a real singer"
in metal all are real singers
Gabriel Sanchez nah as a metalhead myself I have to disagree with you on that point. I wouldn’t call someone who only growls a „real singer“
@@robertschneider8808 I have to say as an ex death metal vocalist myself, I never introduced myself as a singer, I was a vocalist. There's a huge difference between singing, growling and screaming, and the three cant be compared. They are completely different styles that require different skillsets.
Robert Schneider so you knows nothing about half of the metal bands and how difficult is to one to learn how to growls properly.
Yasmin thank you for gloriously misunderstanding the point I was trying to make. Just read what Gus wrote and you‘ll understand what I mean.
Also, I sincerely doubt that half of the existing metal bands use growling as their primary vocals. While it’s not my preferred vocal style, I do know that growling the right way needs a lot of skill but it’s a different skill than clean vocals - which is the style that most people would call „real singing“. There is a reason why many metalcore bands have to vocalist, one who provides clean vocals and sometimes screams and one who growls.
@@robertschneider8808 Ah, well... there is a wide range between good and bad growling as well. Properly done, i'd say it is singing.

Hello @ Trash Talkers! Nightwish Army incoming here, your reaction just appeared on our radar..
You both really enjoyed this legendary band performing in front of a 82k+ audience. Thank you! Stick to their live performances and you'll never regret it!
Since this is your first Nightwish experience, I'll give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan:
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female fronted symphonic metal band. 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-instrulmentalist 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). 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 "

Would love to hear a duet with Tati and Floor though.....
These two lookin' like toddlers entranced by a Disney movie when the lyrics hit.
That's because they have toddlers brains.
They let their cocks decide who they love as their favourite 'female' singer. Hence their vile comments involving Tatiana from Jinjer. Stopping their video to make chauvinistic statements about the singers body shape, stating how her image 'fits' their ideal of 'the perfect women'. Wtf? Are they virgin's or is this the plain piggery-styled thoughts of 2 "mates", eeeuuwwWW!
They barely mention the rest of the band? Strange??

Welcome to the Nightwish army
This was an incredible experince.....point blank period
@@Hollywood6IX You guys should check out Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom of the Opera.
Floor Jansen is the singer of Nightwish that you watched in this video.
Henk Poort is the original Dutch Phantom... Such an AMAZING performance...
1) Rocking, chilling, having fun
2) Floor starts singing
3) Frozen in motion, Jaws dropping, eyes widening
Thats our girl ;-)
Adjust the headset, a few times
Feel the neck going cold
Something new coming...
"This is a band. This is a megaband." You got that right!!
This lady here is so versatile, she can even growl. Check "Yours is an empty Hope", live version.
Live at wembley version
She can do everything, literally everything. That's why she is so special.
I agree.
@@proclaimed75 I mean, she can't do gutturals like in many Deathcore bands, like for example Alex Terrible (Slaughter to Prevail), CJ McCreery (ex Signs of the Swarm and Lorna Shore), Ben Mason (Bound in Fear), Ben Duerr (Shadow of Intent), and Dickie Allen (Infant Annihilator). Maybe she can, or is capable, but having long vocal cords helps with it, so men have an easier time.
She’s the best singer in metal surely

"That's what music does. It's a universal language that makes you feel emotions". That's all there is to it guys. There's nothing more awesome than people from a whole other genre of music reacting to another genre of music.
I don't give a damn about the genre, if you make my head bang, my heart move or my mind blow away by your lyrics, voice or instruments, you are making real music to me.
Loved this video and your reaction guys. Mad respect for both of you.
PS: That's 82,000 people, just FYI :)
This! Read it, people, and understand it!
I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this track, but every time I do I get goosebumps, every single time.
Floor: Sings everything perfectly
Auto tune: Aight Imma Head Out
Auto tune was never invited in the first place... This is *metal,* not trash, mainstream bullshit like Rhianna or Beyonce.
If auto tune came within a mile of a metal concert, it would be stomped harder than a mark at a biker rally.
You guys ain’t heard nothing yet. Nightwish is a very special band and Floor is perhaps the most versatile and greatest female vocalists of our generation.
right, and she can make gold out of nickel...give it a rest..i loved Floor too, but singing in a poppish voice in those Dutch pop contests is not a challenge for her..

Floor Jansen, The Dutch queen of symphonic metal is a rare breed of vocalists. She can growl, but Nightwish does not do much growling in their music. If you want to hear how Floor growls, check out "Yours is an Empty Hope" live from Wembley Arena. Se doesn't do it like Jinjer, but she can do some growling. See link. You guys were great to watch discover Nightwish and Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen). I look forward to checking out more if you decide to continue this journey. Nightwish is a band that must be experienced live to get the full effect of their powerful music and explosive performances. Take a chance. ua-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/v-deo.html - Yours is an Empty Hope - live from Wembley 2015. This one does have some Metallic thrown in for excitement. Let's take it up a notch. See you then!
She does a full minute of growling on the Wild Card song from Revamp. Yours is an Empty Hope is a bad example... she only does it for effect rather than to sing the lyrics.
true story with Revamp - thanks Adrian :)
and I think guys should be familiarized with Marco's vocals first, for better understanding what's happening there. :>
@@K17ten I absolutely agree with you! Just to be SURE that everybody can tell that it's Floor doing the growling and it's Marco doing the cleans. :)
If you want to hear her growling in my opinion is revamp distain the best song ua-cam.com/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/v-deo.html
I think you guys should know just how amazing she truly is......She was a new member and only had 3 Days to prepare for this concert and learn all of Nightwish's songs!!!
Yeah that makes this concert even more amazing! This is the reason the guitarist pinched the other bandmembers in the beginning
I can’t even believe that is possible she definitely pulled it off like she’s been with these guys for ever.
This was 10 months after she joined the band. Her performance evolved over that time, giving us this perfection. Yes, she had two days to prepare for her first performance with them, but that was months before this show.
Nightwish, the blending of opera and metal.
Also Epica though 💖. Love both bands.
The Nightwish Army sends their regards.
Floor's (the valkyrie's) voice is some otherworldly force: growling, deep singing, operatic, that belting high note at the end... She does it all.
Keyboardist Tuomas (the magician) is the composer and I can't think of another word for him except "genius".
The guitarist Emppu (the bard) can shred with the best but he knows he's not the focus of the songs so he supports every song flawlessly and only shows his skills at the solos.
Marco is a viking lord of bass guitar with an awesome voice.
Sadly the old drummer Jukka (the pirate) left, partly due to days' long insomnia, but the new drummer Kai can keep up, no worries. Not sure if he has a nickname yet.
Aside from Kai, Troy (the piper) is the newest addition. He started off just doing backup sounds but was fully recognized as a member a few years back.
Legend says that the guys made a pact with Satan to give them a singer who's voice beyond this world. That's how Floor came to be.
@@aronnemcsik The BS of the Year..
@@strikebr Sorry I didn't know I'm not allowed to make a joke...
She also did some death metal vocals during her Revamp days
Empuu, the guitarist walking around, is just a cool guy. But when it's his time he is killing it the way it fits perfect to the song.
Marco, the bearded bass player, is also a fantastic singer as you'll discover on your nightwish journey.
There is so much you have to discover with so many different styles and facets incl. folk, catchy songs and really heavy stuff.
Heavier, faster, Marko singing? --> Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires
While your lips are still red if you want Marco at his peak IMO
I'm 65 and its great to see a couple of young fellas such as you 2 checking out music from overseas ..its all thats different now cause the record companies don't dictate to them they way they do in the US
Good point
"That's a giant organ there", That's what she said ! :-)
It's just a front to hide the 3 or 4 keyboards he is using.
KORG KRONOS??? Oooohhh, that beauty!
Yes those "pipes" in front of the keyboards are just decorative. No music comes through them.
So you like guitars and have been watching Eits... Eitss... Henning?

Phantom of the Opera (live)
Poet and the Pendulum (live at Wembley)
Song of Myself
Romanticide
7 Days to the Wolves
Btw did u notice we put your comment in the video
@@Hollywood6IX thank you!!!
Phantom of the Opeta but the floor jansen and henk poort version
@@inkubuzz nope, the Tarja version
Both singers are insanely talented and sing Phantom fantastically but it's just such an amazing introduction to the power and skill of Tarja where you see her in her element. It's similar to how Ghost Love Score is an amazing introduction to the power and versatility of Floor (though it does leave a few things for a nice surprise later). Plus Tarja's version has Marco. Henk is amazing but Marco also needs some love. He's a power house, too.
Nightwish at Wacken 2013 is the gold standard of all concerts. They were perfection that night. Check out any other live performances from this concert.
Bro, you are totally right. True perfection. Every Song got lifted to a never since reached new top this evening. The full concert video is my precious in youtube.
What's crazy is how little time she had to prepare for this.
It is the performance that elevated the band to legend status, much like Live After Death was for Iron Maiden.
@@jordanlamp5050 She initially had very little time to learn the set list but you have to realize that she had been touring with them for a year prior to this show so in that time she fine-tuned her performance to give you this . I remember seeing initial videos of early show in South America and Floor sounded a bit rough and unsure unlike here where she has found herself and commands 82,000 people to do her bidding, so to speak. The only time I've seen Floor live was with After Forever, back in 2008, and she was on point and I instantly became a fan. I am very pleased that the world is finally starting to recognize her for the amazing singer that she is.
The sad thing is, I was there, but didn't really follow Nightwish at that time anymore... the reget...
"You can tell she loves doing it!" - apart from yes!: They're in Wacken. That's like Metal Mekka. If you're playing in front of an audience of (potentially) 75.000 (tickets sold) people, you're a little bit excited and happy.
estimated crowd of 83.000 niet that's a crowd allright...😂😂😂😂
cool information I've learned regarding this song:
-This song was originally written for the band's first lead singer, Tarja, who left the group some time ago (there's a whole history and drama with their former lead singers that's fascinating in its own right), and that final explosive burst she gives at the very end was totally improvised by Floor.
-Originally the song was supposed to fade out a little more slowly and let the instruments take over on the way out, but the crowd chanting 'Floor! Floor! Floor!' inspired her to toss in that extra flair at the end, and everyone in the band fucking loved it.
-This performance is from 2016, but there's a recording of her very first time performing it with the band in 2012, and you can actually see the guitarist look up and grin when she belts those final few notes: He legit wasn't expecting it but he was so happy to hear it.
-That 2012 tour was where Floor joined the band almost overnight; she was originally meant to be a fill-in singer during their touring season because the previous lead singer, Anette, had gotten pregnant and wasn't going to be travelling with them. apparently some drama happened with selecting their touring singer, Anette threw a fit, and almost overnight, Floor became their permanent singer.
Nightwish has been around since 1996, and they have a crazy history with three different lead singers, each of whom has their own distinct sound and kinda defines an 'era' of the band. Their lead guitarist, Tuomas, writes and composes most of the songs, with the band members inputting after-the-fact instead of the fully collaborative style most bands take. Definitely a LOT to dig into if you wanna learn more and hear more. they've got 9 studio albums and 6 live albums at this point, and I don't think they've had anything I'd call a disappointment yet.
If you want to hear Floor sing recently outside of the group react to Bestes Zangers Phantom of the Opera.
Yes please
Just for the shock factor: Vilja lied.
That would be a brilliant reaction to see!
Yeah, I was gonan put this one up for suggestion. Definitely a top Floor moment :D And singing with one of her opera idols :)
you definitly should check this out! just an epic performance. Also please check out Epica with Sancta Terra, ft Floor Jansen (and full symphonic orchestra and choir) you can thank me later ;-)

@@alexojeda9048 lol, i gotta admit that Floor is amazing but tarja definitely started this journey for me.
@@gary0044187 I got into Nightwish when Tarja was still in the band but for me Floor is far more appealing to my ears. Tarja's style can be overbearing at times and in reality she is a one- trick pony while Floor is more like Swiss army knife; a different voice for different situations.
Nightwish is pretty epic, but let's not forget the Queen of Scream, Maria Brink of In This Moment.
I've been saying this for yeeeears: "Ghost Love Score" is the best 9-10 minutes of music ever composed! Only other song that comes close to being this epic is Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". I always love watching reactors discover their love for Nightwish when they watch this performance. And I get emotional every time I hear this song - but this, this will always be my favorite performance of this song.
Stairway to heaven
Greatest show on earth
Endlessness from the new album is incredible too; I really want to see all of Human Nature live.
A masterpiece 🙏
That's what happens,when symphonic Metal meets empathic voice.
I have them in my music collection for a year now.
You may listen to this:
ORIANTHI - Heaven in This Hell
EPICA - Storm The Sorrow
Epica - Beyond Belief
Halestorm - I Miss The Misery
The Pretty Reckless - Heaven Knows + Make Me Wanna Die
Skarlett Riot - Break
You might look out for Evanesence,too.
Have a nice listening
IMO, greatest song ever written, by the greatest band on the planet, led by the best female vocal I've ever heard. What struck me was your initial reaction to Floor's first notes. Many reactors are confused and a little taken aback, most seeming to think the surprise of her sound over that intro doesn't work. You guys got it immediately. That was awesome. Hopefully you keep going with Nightwish because there is so much more to experience. I'd recommend anything from the Wacken 2013 show to continue the journey, thought the usual path is through Romanticide, Storytime, Ever Dream and Ghost River, but the list is long and varied. Nice reaction. Nightwish Army incoming.
When you kept repeating “this is beautiful” over and a over it reminded me so much of my grandma. She always said to me “Kid, this sounds gorgeous, what is this, turn it up” when I played Nightwish at home (or Epica, Within Temptation and, oddly enough, Malice Mizer). I think that when your grandma likes the metal you blast you’ve literally struck gold. Another stunning song by them is Shoemaker from their newest album.
Shoemaker, and all the rest of the album to be honest, is a masterpiece.
Bless your granny
I have never heard of Nightwish until this reaction video. After I post this comment I will then commence to find Nightwish music on UA-cam and became introduced to their music because damn! That was awesome! I love Metal but I love it more when there are female singers in a Metal band i.e. Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Xandria etc. Nightwish has a new fan in me, I'm ready to join the army 🤘😎🤘.
We are joining you in New fandom
I've loved them since the early 2000s. This is one of my favorite songs
I will be honest and selfish: it was one of the more entertaining reactions in a long time and I want more. Please more, you guys are great
"That's Otis from House of 1000 Corpses" XD. He's a huge horror fan too, he'd probably laugh his ass off at that
I always think of Marco as Otis P Driftwood now.
Amazing reaction guys, nightwish is an amazing band! I'm just waiting for them to come through my part of the world so I can see this!
Nightwish is my favourite band. Watching you guys react to this was like discovering them all over again!
And on that day two more men fell in love with Floor Jansen
And started a bromance with Tuomas, Marco, Emppu, and Jukka
Nightwish army here. Floor Jansen just rocked your socks off. You just got your floorgasm. Romanticide, the poet and the pendulum story time (live)
I have heard this song a number of times. Watching you guys and your reactions has made me really appreciate how amazing the band really is. I subscribed, keep up the good videos!
Interviewer : What's your vocal range ?
Floor : Yes.
Amen to that
Great reaction! You guys would really dig Romanticide from the same concert. Heavier, but awesome. And if Smokey wants something a bit more melodic, they just released a new album, and Floor did an acoustic version of one of the songs, How’s the Heart, on Planet Rock radio (easy to find on UA-cam. One of the best live vocals you will ever hear - brain melting. Enjoy!!

The instant Floor opens her mouth, jaws on the floor. Sounds about right! Love it
Just found you guys, and as a lifetime metal fan I'm just starting to listening to hiphop and must agree with your comment.
-"Music is a universal language".
Every genre has its highs and lows.
And a person that is trapped by one single genre misses out so much.
Respect to you!
Hell yeah, I used to headbang and wouldn't give rap a listen at all but Atmosphere and Flobots helped really broaden my musical horizons!
1st!!! Nice reaction! This type of music is called Symphonic Metal. FYI: there were 82,000+ in the audience during this performance. GLS is the 13th of 15 songs that NW performed that night. I would recommend either 'Ever Dream' or 'Storytime' From the same Wacken 2013 concert for your next NW reaction.. The singer's name is Floor Jansen. She is the 3rd and still current female lead singer of Nightwish (est. 1996) She had been with the band for 10 months at the time of this concert on 03 August 2013.
Im so glad you guys recommended this to us...utterly in love
Ok, guys...Get ready to be educated....Nightwish army Incoming!!!
Can't believe I have just found your channel! Your reactions to metal are so real, so authentic, and I absolutely adore you guys. Total fan, and lifelong subscriber right here!
I love ALL of the "reaction" vids to this song -- EVERY single one of them are simply astonished at how amazing this performance was. The fans, myself included, love just sitting back and waiting for the spots.
Well now you two have done it, You opened the can of worms and you are getting a addiction you are not gonna get rid of, great reaction and the Nightwish Army is here to flood you with request, and please react to them you won't be dissapointed, please react to Song of Myself and Romanticide, same concert from Wacken 2013. Subbed to follow your Nightwish Journey
Love it
Nightwish is symphonic metal. ^_^
What I love about Nightwish is the contrast and tension they develop in their songs. You have the beautifully sung bits with an ethereal feel to them, then the smash-you-in-the-face instrumentals hit, with the metal guitar riffs and kick-ass drumming and soaring vocals! Love it!!! Great reaction guys. Hope you do some more of Nightwish!
Thanks guys for fun reaction video. Keep em coming!
Them being symphonic metal allows them to take their music in several different directions. They have the long epic multipart full production type songs like Ghost Love Score, The Poet and the Pendulum or The Greatest Show on Earth.. Then they have several of the more classic thrash heavy metal style songs like Romanticide, Song of Myself or Dark Chest of Wonders.. They even have a very celtic rock sound going on in songs like E'lan or My Walden.. You chose, but the Nightwish Army loves it all..
The slack jawed yokel stare by reactors when Floor first walks out never gets old🤣
Is it me, or did you guys fall in love with her voice when she started singing? Your faces told a whole story, there!
Welcome to symphonic rock! :D
I would like to recommend a few bands that are similar: Kamelot (Veil of Elysium), Within Temptation (and we run), & Lacuna Coil (Closer)! I could give you a list 4 miles long, but these are some of my top 5 favorite bands. Check them out, I would love to see you guys react to them as well. Thanks. 😎👍❤
Oh don’t worry, she can growl too! Lol You’ll see a bit of that sooner or later I presume. As for the song itself, the mastermind behind the keyboards, Tuomas Holopainen, writes about 95% of the songs. The band is his brainchild.
Song of Myself, Ghost River, Romanticide and Dark Chest of Wonders from the same concert Wacken 2013 live. Legendary concert 82,000 fans. Whole concert is awesome, can’t go wrong. 🤟🤟✌️✌️
Love your reactions..2nd review of this song..EPIC!...you guys earned another subscriber today!
Another Floorgasm, folks!😄 Happens every time I watch a Nightwish reaction, especially this song 😊. Greetings from Scandinavia! 🇸🇪 😉
Welcome to the Nightwish Experience! This is the best, most versatile, awe inspiring live band out there! Nightwish army incoming. Congrats on your first Floorgasm! Next up is Romanticide. Live at Wacken 2013. It’s a heavier song..hang on! 🔥🤙
this was her coming out parade! Floor was officially announced as the new permanent singer after being stand in for 10 months on their world tour. Nice reaction guys!
I just love these guys' vibe.
Love you guys great reaction ti an incredible performance. .keep it up lads
You just summoned the Nightwish Army!) Thank you for sharing your reaction! Subbed!
Well, you've just witnessed Her Majesty Northern Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen, she is Dutch). She has classical background, rock academy behind, and used to be a vocal coach for a number of years. Floor is the most versatile and powerful female singer today and can sing anything from more pop-y style, classic opera, to metal screams and growls. She is singing not words but emotions. And she is really tall, I mean 6'1 + heels.
Nightwish is a Finland symphonic metal band formed in 1996.
Floor joined Nightwish in 2012 in the middle of a world tour, and before that they had Anette as a frontwoman, and before Anette - Tarja (Tar-ya).
For Floor it was first really big gig with NW, 82K people, at the time she was only for a few month with the band. This song was performed at the end of 90min show, at a 1hr 10min mark.
The bassist with a cool beard is Marco, and he sings some parts too.
The mastermind behind 99% of lyrics and music is a keyboardist Tuomas.
Guitarist name is Emppu, and the drummer in this show is Jukka (Yukka), but later he was replaced by Kai Hahto because of health issues.
Flutes/uilleann pipes/guitar/vocals - Troy, he did not perform in this song.
Nightwish is better live, always, so if live performance is available, go for it. In their performances, they often using recorded backtrack of a classical orchestra for their songs.
They have very diverse music, from more light songs to epic scores like this, and to really heavy metal stuff.
For the next step, I can suggest listening to:
- Storytime from the same Wacken 2013 live
- for move heavy: Ghost River, Song Of Myself, both from Wacken 2013 also
- If you want to explore more Floor versatility, check out her performances on a TV show Beste Zangers in 2019.
You just starting your journey with Nightwish, and be prepared to be surprised (and sometimes shocked) time and time again! Their music is very emotional and diverse.
Greetings from Moscow and stay safe! :)
Floor Jansen, blessed with an abundance of talent, and 30-ish years of practice and hard training. She does power training, works out, is super fit and has an amazing amount of core strength - just look at those shoulders, those arms. And she puts all that power into her voice.
Omg 😍 never seen you guys before, but thanks for this video, Nightwish is my favorite band, and see you guys saying this is just the best, thank you thank you thank you!
Great reaction!!!! I loved the respect you gave that performance!!! 💕
And that was song 13 of 15 from that show.... and still sounded that amazing
I love how both your jaws dropped when she started singing.

Romanticide
7 Days to the Wolves

Last ride of the day
Here’s a short list to get you started. Lol
not even a Nighwish fan but this song makes me cry every time
One of the best reactions that I ever seen. So cool guys! I was on that concert. Travelled from Brazil to Germany just for Wacken! I remember perfectly this song and how amazing was! Cheers!
Nice reaction. nice floorgasm. i would suggest romanticide, song of myself and ever dream same concert Wacken 2013
She has the charisma that hypnotizes people right away. Her voice gives you instant chills. Can't escape her gravity. Such an amazing experience to watch her sing. Seeing people's faces when they react to Nightwish is so enjoyable. Great reaction... Subbed... Already waiting for more! And Yes, they are THAT good live....
Great and genuine reaction guys! Really enjoyed this reaction video. Welcome to the experience of a lifetime. Nightwish - and you will be forever changed :)
Man, I've been watching you for so long, I had no idea you had reacted to this. This popped up in my reactions today, and I'm so glad you found them to react to.
This is one of my favorite songs in the entire world. So, I'm Nightwish Iowa, and I'm sure the rest of the Army was here back in 2020 to welcome you to Nightwish.
Welcome to the fan zone! Soooo now another two of the NW trilogy:
Poet and the Pendulum (live Wembley)
The Greatest Show on Earth ( live Tampere)
U welcome 🥰
Um...those songs are REALLY LONG. Let these two get used the the sound first, THEN clobber them with a thirty minute song. :)
@@jamescurfman3284 The longer the Nightwish song, the better... Next: The whole human::nature album
@@AlexanderWeixelbaumer Well, yes, but some people need to warm up first, many people are NOT the type to jump into the deep end of the pool without learning to swim first.
Way too early for those!
82,000 people at Wacken for that gig! Floor is 6'1" before the heels and her husband is 6' 3" - their daughter, Freya, will be huge! Angelic voice? - try "Angels" by Within Temptation. 8:12 Jukka Nevalainen is THE drummer!!! I like Madonna's "Frozen" too and I see a (tenuous) connection!
Floor isn't just an angel. She is a Valkerye...
I watching this again and again...this is better than any movie! You guys are fantastic🤘😝🤘
Thank you!
song helped me through major crisis.need to hear it every once in a while to re-stabilize. this people-react-to-it thing surely spices things up.
