Totally, the both of them have a good chemistry and complement each other very well. Definitely Marko and Tarja took their roles very seriously to perform and with the support of a great band members like all of they are. And Tarja is Tarja, regardless Floor is also a great singer and both of them are good friends and also have the same operatical training and education in music.
Dude! Three things you never do: 1. Yell "Fire" in a theatre. 2. Yell "Bomb" on a plane. 3. Ask Nightwish fans who the best singer is. No, make #3 the top one. Never, ever, do that ....
Tarja, the original singer, is who drew me into Nightwish. Their second singer, Annette (who you have not reacted to), I felt did not match the band’s style well, so I stopped listening to them for a long time. A few years ago, I listened to them again after they gained Floor, and I’m back on them. Floor is my favorite of the three.
I was a fan of Nightwish just when Tarja was there. Flor is good and have a nice voice, good stage presence, but Tarja is unbelievable. And her voice with Marko's voice, hit straight to the core, especially in this song :)
Dear God Preston do you know what you have done with the question you just asked all your viewers? "Let me know who your favorite singer is." Let the fighting begin! Lmao
It's impossible to choose between them. Tarja's voice fits better in songs like Phantom but then again it was Floor who made Ghost Love Score a masterpiece. Sure it was always a masterpiece but Floor really put final touches to it. Even though I never had any problem with Anette, she never was on the par with Tarja and Floor. Anette has a clear and powerful voice but she leans more towards a pop singer. Nothing wrong with that but with Nightwish you need to have something extra.
So glad you found Nightwish and truly appreciate their music! Tarja was one of the pioneers of soprano voices over Metal music, creating a genre that so many of us love today, so props have to go to her! That said, I am definitely 'Team Floor' and always will be! Yes, Marco has a fantastic voice and I would love to see him featured even more! You have many, many more of their excellent songs to to discover....enjoy the journey!
I discovered Nightwish in 1999 so I am a Tarja fanboy. When the band decided to dismiss Tarja, the first name and only name for me to pop in my mind as a worthy of taking her spot was Floor. And I can fully understand why they didn't pursue Floor at the time because she was having her own success in After Forever. The bass player Marco Hietala has been in the music scene for over 30 years, releasing 9 albums with his first band Tarot. The first replacement singer Annette was an ok singer but CANNOT do what Tarja or Floor can do.
I discovered Nightwish in 2013 and i'm a Tarja fangirl too 💖💖 she's my idol Floor is the whole package, she was made for Tuomas's compositions !! I loved Anette's albums too. I guess i'm more of a Tuomas fan 😂
@@elyeliza8287 I 'hated' Tuomas after the saga with Tarja's leaving. I am also a fan of the band since the late 1990s, so it hit me hard the way that Tarja was let go. However, after hearing The poet and the pendulum, Tuomas was forgiven by me, as the song tells that he seriously suffered tons for what happened.
@@natashas.1566 I am with you! I was really upset with him too because of their complaints with her in that letter, I was convinced that to Tuomas, Tarja was his secret Christine, and was really just hurt and jealous that she married someone else. I remember when I watched their old documentary, he was always falling down drunk all the time and they had to take care of him. I wondered why with all that beautiful music flowing out through him, and that gorgeous festive Disney-inspired stuff too, is he so unhappy? I figured maybe he's like one of those really smart prodigal people who almost can't function here around most people if not for booze. I conjured my own drama about it. XD But anyway, he makes life so much more beautiful with his amazing talent. Even though I hadn't heard them in a long time now since Tarja left, I fell in love with Tuomas' epic composing within the first few measures as per usu!! XD I hadn't heard the poet and the pendulum yet!! I will go listen!!
from the moment they created I used to be a fan.I love Tarja. Her voice, her profile, her performance. I was disbelieved about Floor, even though I was a fan to her previous band 'after forever' cause she was going to perform after legend Tarja, But , there she was and proofed us wrong.I love the way she performs with Nightwish and I kinda think she is better in general..
My thoughts exactly, Tarja edges Floor out on the operatic stuff, but that’s all she does, she’s all head voice, and she’s great at it and sounds amazing, but Floor as a beautiful operatic soprano as well and can also do literally anything else you need her to vocally, she’s complete, perfect singer for Nightwish
@@ryanhalien8468 when last did you listen to Tarja? No, dear, she's not all headvoice. Even in Nightwish she wasn't all headvoice. She was so consistent almost everyone thought she was all headvoice. Now more than ever she definitely isn't all headvoice.
Mary Akin-Ajayi fair enough let me put it differently, I’ve never heard a Tarja song that wasn’t at least 95 percent headvoice, I’d love to hear one that showcases her full vocal range, if you could give me a link that’d be great, I mean that sincerely.
@@ryanhalien8468 If you listen to her performances in December 2018 you'd realise she sings more in chest and mixed voice now unlike her Nightwish days. ua-cam.com/video/1Zd7_MLtV1U/v-deo.html The above is a playful performance of White Christmas with Joe Lynn Turner
Please react to Epica - Sancta Terra ( Featuring Floor Jansen) Also Epica - Kingdom of Heaven live (It's gonna blow your mind) Epica is nightwish but heavier.
I really like Epica, except for one thing....they to do much of those death vocals. Simone is a wonderful singer and the band is very good but for me it just ruins the song. Same with Amaranthe. Elize Ryd can sing her butt off and former singer Jake was soooo dang good. But those other vocals are just horrible.
You should explore the situation a bit deeper, her departure wasn't nice so you wont find her as a surprise act nowdays. But Tarja did start her solo career after she was kicked out of NW and she did invite Floor to sing with her on one song at her concert so luckily for us, there is a performance where both of them sing together!
There's also recent performances where Tarja and Marco performed together again. Tarja also kept in touch with Emppu after the split and even talked to Jukka from time to time. However Toumas and Tarja still hasn't seemed to healed their wounds. So far, it is difficult to find Tarja's side of the story and requires use of the Internet Wayback Machine. Last I checked, Toumas still has that damn open letter on the Nightwish site.
@@Tbone.357 They went to music school together. Tuomos was also dating Annette for a short period of time. Tuomos writes most of the songs so he was the one that made the executive decision.
Thank you so much, my friend, for giving that heavenly creation,Tarja a chancev to shine again.. i am a 6'3" former army ranger and has never shed a tear even after loosing my best friend in a mission, until i heard this magnificent voice do this song and another ballad called "swanheart" thats right she reduced me to a fountain of tears. by the way, i lovev the intro tyo your channel. the man speaking is soooo right. your most difficult impediment is the one you build for yourself looking forward to more Tarja and thanks
@@-_YouMayFind_- The band did not even had the balls to tell her face to face, that they gonna kick her out, so they wrote a letter and gave it to her after the last show! That's when I stopped following the band! I'm 100% a Tarja-Lover and I still love the band of her time, but I do not care, what they did since then - in my opinion they don't deserve to be cared of!
I love both Tarja and Floor. Tarja’s voice is what drew me in all those years ago and introduced me to symphonic metal. I’ve seen them perform in several countries spanning two decades and I’m grateful to have their discography as a bit of a soundtrack to my life since my teen years. All that said, Floor is my personal preference as lead vocalist. Marko is incredible too and deserves a mention. Looove when they sing together and harmonize to the point where their voices meld and sound almost like one... *happy sigh* That’s not to say either Tarja or Anette were in any way less accomplished as leads, I just prefer Floor’s range and diversity over Tarja’s more strictly classical approach and Anette’s more poppy sound. That she can go from a growl all the way up to operatic and back down in a single breath with a smile on her face is to me simply magical and I appreciate the goosebumps I get when she flips through the different “styles” with such ease. She feels like the perfect fit that can do it all. Angelic arias and growling headbangs and windmills... I mean... yeah... Love Tarja, but Floor ticks more boxes for me personally.
Yep, Tarja is quite brilliant singer too, I like many of her versions, but... there's no one like Floor's versatility and supremacy! This high note at the end was D6 by the way - the note that anyone doesn't dare to reach just like that at LIVE concert which goes to DVD. Bass player/second vocalist is Marco Hietala - super cool dude, brilliant musician and awesome singer.
If you like Marco's voice, he is the lead singer on Nightwish's "The Islander", which you should definitely check out Live at Tampere. One of my favourite songs by the band as a whole. As for Tarja vs. Floor. I like all three of the Nightwish frontwomen, for different reasons, but Floor is my favourite, she brings a lot more versatility and can effectively execute the largest range of their musical catalogue.
Keep it up man, I'm lovin' your reaction vids. Tarja is amazing, and as an old school Nightwish fan, I will always love her vocals, however Floor Jansen is probably one of the best vocalists out there today with her range and versatility, so I have to give this one to Floor. If you're liking the symphonic metal, please check out some Epica.
As usual, a great reaction. As a fellow Nightwish fan i get it 100%. I would pick Floor as my favourite because she is just so much more versatile and brings a much warmer personality to her performance. Who can't help falling in love with her.
Love it man..I like seeing you going through songs I like and just as much I like the fact you introduced me lots of song from the rap side of the music.. Thanks for being there for us. Keep it going. Greetings from Czech republic, Europe
Loved it!! I can't pick between the two. They are both amazing. Another good band , Within Temptation. A lot of great songs. The live Black Symphony performance of Our Solemn Hour is awesome. From Winston Churchill in the beginning to her designing costumes and her voice. Awesome. They also did a colab with Xzibit that's pretty dope. Love your channel. ✌&❤
I love Floor Jansen, she my goddess. But for Nightwish, Tarja Turunen is and always will be the voice of Nightwish. The Bassist is a singer for his own band Tarot
Marco is a singing beast!!! He’s went through 3 different singers and changed his pitch and tone to fit perfectly with each one...To answer your question... FLOOR is the metal Queen!!! My backing statement is that Floor can sing all the older songs and newer in any style she feels like on a given night... she has it all!!! Most of all she’s Humble!! Can’t say that about the first two... lol!! Great reaction... Love Nightwish!!!!
Floor is my Goddess and it's an easy choice. I won't insult Tarja---I will say Floor has Multitalent & Versatility that is powerful, Beautiful and Overwhelming.
he is still in Tarot. the drummer of Tarot had a serious illness so the band didn't record new album, and in 2016 that he passed away the band is on break.
Great reaction. You are right Markko is a fantastic singer, he complimented all the ladies voices. As to who I enjoy most would be The Beautiful Miss Floor Jansen. She can sing all genre. Her range is phenomenal. She is the perfect front women for Nightwish. Love her.
If there is anyone on the planet that can hang with Floor its Tarja!!! I love them both so hard for me to choose honestly! I started listening to Nightwish when it was Tarja's show!! you need to listen to Tarja doing Ghost Love Score as it was her song originally! Amazing! KTF
I always love Tarja Turunen. You can't beat the original because she led the way. Annette stank her voice just rubbed me the wrong way. I used to listen to Floor Jensen when she was in Forever After. I also believe that Marco could have been a better choice after Tarja left the band. Since I was already a huge fan of Floors. Like others I stopped following NightWish when Tarja left. Now I believe that Floor is a Great singer and I was SO happy when she joined Nightwish! However, knowing that Nightwish was formed FOR Tarja I feel and believe she is the best singer from NightWish.
Didi Do Yes, I just discovered Nightwish a couple of months ago. I really tried to keep an open mind to all of their stuff. All three singers. I just have a hard time warming up to the thick operatc sound of Tarja. Just a personal preference. And I know she wanted to leave the band and the band just sped up the process. I think she caused a lot of stress in the time before her leaving. If I’m wrong, maybe you could fill me in. No disrespect.
You got it backwards. The band is After Forever ;) I used to listen to them too, though only their first two albums -- don't know why I didn't follow after that. A LOT of other bands formed from members of AF. Epica, MaYan, Floor to Nightwish eventually, etc.
I don't have a favorite, they're both great. I can't and won't choose. They're both different but talented. It's like choosing between Messi or Ronaldo you know your going to win with either one but they play different styles.
Marco have nice voice... he can also have pure voice like in While your lips are still red. Tarja and Floor ... we can't compare. Floor is a little less good as Tarja in operatic voice. But Floor have more than 1 voice. She can do growling (Yours is an empty voice), rock voice (Weak Fantasy), operatic (The greatest show on earth)... so versatile. So I love Tarja but Floor is just in a higher planet.
This is clearly coming from someone who has only followed Tara in her nightwish days, she can pretty much do all those things now except growl, but let’s face it, that’s just crass and unremarkable.
Yeah Tarja doesn't always sing operatic style like she mostly does in Nightwish. But yeah not growling - probably not, haven't seen nearly all. IMHO her best stuff is done outside Nightwish.
I prefer Tarja overall. Don't forget that there was another singer in between Tarja and Floor - Anette Olzon. She was on 2 Nightwish albums, which I thought were great. She wasn't an operatic singer, so she wouldn't compare to the others in that way, but she was a great singer in general.
You are funny) Sleeping sun, Nemo, Riddler, Walking in the air, Deep silent complete, Beauty and the beast, Over the hills and far away, Wish master, Elvenpath, Carpenter - all of these are about Tarja. I can recall more if you want.
Nightwish isn't about singers. It's about musicians pushing their limits and become the best. Every member of the band is simply an exceptional musician, and Tuomas is a musical genious. Tarja is still an absolute legend, an amazing singer and I adore her in this version of the song. On the other hand, the years Floor Jansen spent side by side with these super talented guys and the hard work she has put on her art, has propelled her into becoming one of the most versatile and best technical singers in the world... She can now sing absolutely everything, and the emotion in her voice can make you cry, every time. She is trully a siren. Just goggle her...
My favorite singer depends on the song that is being sung bro. Tarja is TOTALLY meant for the pure classical element, whereas Floor is meant for more metal elements.
I like them both, but in my opinion, for the kind of music that nightwish make, Floor is perfect. The guy singer and bassist is Marco, he is pretty good too. You have to listen to their cover from pink Floyd's song high hope, with Marco doing all the singing. Also there's a performance with both singers Tarja and Floor, just don't remember which song is. And try Epica, song sancta Terra, feat Floor
Glad you get to experience Tarja' s voice. Floor is an unbelievable singer and I love her. However we never forget Tarja and always will appreciate her.
I am new to Nightwish, but so far I'm a fan of the new singer Floor. I've listened to Tarja's original version of Ghost Love Score and Floor's (new singer) live version to compare. And Floor adds what the song was missing, an epic climactic ending. The original song just seems to fade away but the new singer (Floor) belts out some emotionally charged high notes at the end that leave the listener satisfied and in awe. Plus I think she just fits the band better than Tarja did. Her stage presence and style meld very well with Nightwish
I saw Floor live in concert but Marco was actually the best vocalist, Floor was great, just not the main act. Tarja was Nightwish would have loved to see her live...
For me Tarja was like Darksied on Apocalyspe Thanos on planet Titan everytime you saw Tarja it was like an Archangel going to do the lords work she had that presence about her Floor doesnt have. Since your newer to the band you'll always favour Floor, Floor is doing amazing things with the band but I cant forget Tarja greatness.
Tarja is my fave. I loved her when I first started listening. But, I really love Floor. PLEASE react to NIGHTWISH- THE SIREN live @ END OF AN ERA - Another Tarja 🔥
You right bro!!! She is Legend!!! I am glad finally NIGHTWISH have found a Best New Singer who fit with all their songs but Tarja she's still a Legend of NIGHTWISH. Tarja vs Floor? Nightwish win
Tarja is good. I was at her concert and nightwish too. Floor and Tarja are both great singer but Floor is the one who stole my heart! and because of the title I thought you would do a comparison between floor and tarja because floor sang the phantom of the opera too :D and here is few position to react: Tarja and Floor - over the hills and far away Floor and Epica - sancta terra Tarja and Within Temptation - Paradise im sure you will like it!!!!
Oh man, Floor Jansen is great, but Tarja Turunnen is a class of her own. Though Tarja's voice sounds sometimes too much opera-like to me, she was the best singer Nightwish had. But because band and her split, Nightwish had to look for replacement. Floor is not Tarja 2.0, but a very good replacement. She fits in perfectly!
Tarja Turunen 🥀 la épica cofundadora y primera vocal femenina de Nightwish REINA de reinas del Heavy Metal Sinfónico Lírico Operístico Soprano🥀 buena reacción a su majestad🥀
Yes, her duet with Henk is incredible. However, I still prefer this version over that one (altho' Floor's ending is OVER THE TOP). Part of why I like Tarja's Phantom better is because Marco is almost perfect. Henk was great but seemed a bit overdone at points.
Marco has had Nightwish as a side project for couple of decades now ( ;D ). His other band he founded and sings in, is Tarot, FOUNDED IN EARLY 80'S and still going strong. So yeah, this guy is seriously professional and a talented professional. Glad you made a point of it :) Shout out from Finland, the metal music wonderland!
I love Nightwish since their first album, I am big fan of Tarja, but personally I like Floor more because of here different types of vocals. Tarja is amazing but 95per of her singing was operatic. Floor can do the same plus much more. For me Nightwish was never better than it is now and honestly... I cant imagine to be.
I've been a huge fan of NW since the beginning and have liked all 3 singers. They all have their strengths in certain areas. Tarja is a god and spoiled a bunch of fans early on. But I like Floor the best.
Yeah. I saw The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway when they came to Birmingham. That start at 2:24 always startles people who are unfamiliar with The Phantom of the Opera. I love it. I took my dad to see it with me, and he had the same reaction as you. Lol. Love your reactions. Much love. ♥
Both, Tarja and Floor fit perfectly with nightwish, the original singer is Tarja and they make a lot of good things with her, they own a lot bc of her, but I think Floor is so damn good too, her voice is so powerful, pretty different but powerful, she can do rock and opera, that’s the diferente between floor and tarja
My friend, Tarja, Annete and al Floor all three are Soprano but their voice coloration, style and technique are different. I big NW fan, i dont hate Annete, 2 of the best albums, in my opinion, were composed for her to sing. Otherwise Floor is a Goddess! Sorry for my broken English.
Tarja was special, no doubt about it. The pure operatic quality of her voice was mesmerising. I loved the fantastical epicness of Annette’s singing. Floor though takes Nightwish to new heights. Her vocal range is superb and she is a gorgeous rock chick to boot.
Tarja is a fantastic singer but is more suited to operatic style singing. Whereas Floor has the range to compete with the operatic style but also then hit the deep growls of death metal vocalists. Absolutely need to check out Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red from Wembley (same show as Poet and the Pendulum) if you like how Marko sings. He takes centre stage and Floor provides more of a complimentary backing vocals.
If you want to see Floor do a great operatic performance look up her old band After Forever. The life performance of Dreamflight. One of her best performances ever. Not the newer HD scaled one because while it improved the video quality it lost a little audio quality. Or for some awesome clean and harsh switching with opera her band revamp. The trial of monsters live at grasp 2010.
There are videos with floor and tarja singing together I believe over the hills and far away is one such video . now with that being said each of the 3 singers have their place in the nightwish catalog. Annette was the first of their singers to draw me in with the superlative album imaginaerum, then I discovered tarja with the end of an Era album and it's diverse songs,but then I heard endless forms most beautiful and I fell deeply and hopelessly in love with floors vocals which have no peer as it is the voice from heaven an angels voice.

Exactly , Floor and tarja are perfect, you cant compare perfection

Perfection has no face
I agree. Everybody knows that Tarja is better
I absolutely love Tarja. She doesn't only sing well, but her entire performance is beautiful.
She's a little to opera for me.
The answer is easy. I like both singers.

Floor is also my favorite,,, Anette did some really good album work- not great live on Tarja songs.. Floor is the total package.
I just found them a week ago. I've been obsessed. The second singer sucks.
Danielle Hudson Annette doesn’t suck. She just doesn’t fit Nightwish’s sound at all. In a less operatic band, she would have been great.
Same experience 100%
Actually...I agree 99%...I think that Annette indeed does suck 😂
I was a fan of Nightwish just when Tarja was there. Flor is good and have a nice voice, good stage presence, but Tarja is unbelievable. And her voice with Marko's voice, hit straight to the core, especially in this song :)

I really like Epica, except for one thing....they to do much of those death vocals. Simone is a wonderful singer and the band is very good but for me it just ruins the song. Same with Amaranthe. Elize Ryd can sing her butt off and former singer Jake was soooo dang good. But those other vocals are just horrible.
Epica kingdom is god
You should explore the situation a bit deeper, her departure wasn't nice so you wont find her as a surprise act nowdays. But Tarja did start her solo career after she was kicked out of NW and she did invite Floor to sing with her on one song at her concert so luckily for us, there is a performance where both of them sing together!
There's also recent performances where Tarja and Marco performed together again. Tarja also kept in touch with Emppu after the split and even talked to Jukka from time to time. However Toumas and Tarja still hasn't seemed to healed their wounds. So far, it is difficult to find Tarja's side of the story and requires use of the Internet Wayback Machine. Last I checked, Toumas still has that damn open letter on the Nightwish site.
@@chrisbergsten1429 I may be mistaken but isn't she about half his age?
Thanos shit....hahaha
@@Tbone.357 They went to music school together. Tuomos was also dating Annette for a short period of time. Tuomos writes most of the songs so he was the one that made the executive decision.
Thank you so much, my friend, for giving that heavenly creation,Tarja a chancev to shine again.. i am a 6'3" former army ranger and has never shed a tear even after loosing my best friend in a mission, until i heard this
magnificent voice do this song and another ballad called "swanheart" thats right she reduced me to a fountain of tears. by the way, i lovev the intro tyo your channel. the man speaking is soooo right. your most difficult impediment is the one you build for yourself looking forward to more Tarja and thanks
Team Tarja ❤️I love them both though. They are friends, so...
The only real answer to this question.
But Tarja left them so basically I am not sure if she deserved this
@@-_YouMayFind_- Tarja was fired. She didn't leave on her own.
Verrottesok she mentioned wanting to leave on her terms but they fired her instead
@@-_YouMayFind_-
The band did not even had the balls to tell her face to face, that they gonna kick her out, so they wrote a letter and gave it to her after the last show!
That's when I stopped following the band! I'm 100% a Tarja-Lover and I still love the band of her time, but I do not care, what they did since then - in my opinion they don't deserve to be cared of!
I love both Tarja and Floor. Tarja’s voice is what drew me in all those years ago and introduced me to symphonic metal. I’ve seen them perform in several countries spanning two decades and I’m grateful to have their discography as a bit of a soundtrack to my life since my teen years. All that said, Floor is my personal preference as lead vocalist. Marko is incredible too and deserves a mention. Looove when they sing together and harmonize to the point where their voices meld and sound almost like one... *happy sigh*
That’s not to say either Tarja or Anette were in any way less accomplished as leads, I just prefer Floor’s range and diversity over Tarja’s more strictly classical approach and Anette’s more poppy sound. That she can go from a growl all the way up to operatic and back down in a single breath with a smile on her face is to me simply magical and I appreciate the goosebumps I get when she flips through the different “styles” with such ease. She feels like the perfect fit that can do it all. Angelic arias and growling headbangs and windmills... I mean... yeah... Love Tarja, but Floor ticks more boxes for me personally.
After Forever - My Pledge of Allegiance #1
Floor Jansen was the singer. Check it out!!!!!
Sins of Idealism is also a good song.
Yep, Tarja is quite brilliant singer too, I like many of her versions, but... there's no one like Floor's versatility and supremacy! This high note at the end was D6 by the way - the note that anyone doesn't dare to reach just like that at LIVE concert which goes to DVD. Bass player/second vocalist is Marco Hietala - super cool dude, brilliant musician and awesome singer.
Floor is my fav for Nightwish, but Tarjas voice is incredibly beautiful!!
I have been listening Nightwish since '98 and I like all 3 singers, but my favorite is Floor 🤘
If you like Marco's voice, he is the lead singer on Nightwish's "The Islander", which you should definitely check out Live at Tampere. One of my favourite songs by the band as a whole.
As for Tarja vs. Floor. I like all three of the Nightwish frontwomen, for different reasons, but Floor is my favourite, she brings a lot more versatility and can effectively execute the largest range of their musical catalogue.
Keep it up man, I'm lovin' your reaction vids. Tarja is amazing, and as an old school Nightwish fan, I will always love her vocals, however Floor Jansen is probably one of the best vocalists out there today with her range and versatility, so I have to give this one to Floor. If you're liking the symphonic metal, please check out some Epica.
As usual, a great reaction. As a fellow Nightwish fan i get it 100%. I would pick Floor as my favourite because she is just so much more versatile and brings a much warmer personality to her performance. Who can't help falling in love with her.
Total enchantment! I've never heard this group before.
Love it man..I like seeing you going through songs I like and just as much I like the fact you introduced me lots of song from the rap side of the music.. Thanks for being there for us. Keep it going. Greetings from Czech republic, Europe
Loved it!! I can't pick between the two. They are both amazing. Another good band , Within Temptation. A lot of great songs. The live Black Symphony performance of Our Solemn Hour is awesome. From Winston Churchill in the beginning to her designing costumes and her voice. Awesome. They also did a colab with Xzibit that's pretty dope. Love your channel. ✌&❤
I love Floor Jansen, she my goddess. But for Nightwish, Tarja Turunen is and always will be the voice of Nightwish.
The Bassist is a singer for his own band Tarot
For you, that is..
And for me
Marco is a singing beast!!! He’s went through 3 different singers and changed his pitch and tone to fit perfectly with each one...To answer your question... FLOOR is the metal Queen!!! My backing statement is that Floor can sing all the older songs and newer in any style she feels like on a given night... she has it all!!! Most of all she’s Humble!! Can’t say that about the first two... lol!! Great reaction... Love Nightwish!!!!
Floor is my Goddess and it's an easy choice. I won't insult Tarja---I will say Floor has Multitalent & Versatility that is powerful, Beautiful and Overwhelming.
Just found your channel and like your reactions. Nightwish is an awesome symphonic metal band and I love Both Tarja and Floor.
Tarja is my favorite. But Floor is great too. Marco Hietala is the singing basist. His former band is Tarot.
he is still in Tarot. the drummer of Tarot had a serious illness so the band didn't record new album, and in 2016 that he passed away the band is on break.
harjajarvi71 No shit! ?
Great reaction. You are right Markko is a fantastic singer, he complimented all the ladies voices. As to who I enjoy most would be The Beautiful Miss Floor Jansen. She can sing all genre. Her range is phenomenal. She is the perfect front women for Nightwish. Love her.
Madness as soon as she started singing I had tears 😭
I love both singers. They are talented in their own ways but also amazing and enjoyable.
If there is anyone on the planet that can hang with Floor its Tarja!!! I love them both so hard for me to choose honestly! I started listening to Nightwish when it was Tarja's show!! you need to listen to Tarja doing Ghost Love Score as it was her song originally! Amazing! KTF
I always love Tarja Turunen. You can't beat the original because she led the way. Annette stank her voice just rubbed me the wrong way. I used to listen to Floor Jensen when she was in Forever After. I also believe that Marco could have been a better choice after Tarja left the band. Since I was already a huge fan of Floors. Like others I stopped following NightWish when Tarja left. Now I believe that Floor is a Great singer and I was SO happy when she joined Nightwish! However, knowing that Nightwish was formed FOR Tarja I feel and believe she is the best singer from NightWish.
There must have been a reason why Tuomas wanted another front woman than Tarja.
Jet From Holland are you a new nightwish fan? Turnas never wanted another singar that tarja he said so múltiple times.
Didi Do Yes, I just discovered Nightwish a couple of months ago. I really tried to keep an open mind to all of their stuff. All three singers. I just have a hard time warming up to the thick operatc sound of Tarja. Just a personal preference. And I know she wanted to leave the band and the band just sped up the process. I think she caused a lot of stress in the time before her leaving. If I’m wrong, maybe you could fill me in. No disrespect.
You got it backwards. The band is After Forever ;)
I used to listen to them too, though only their first two albums -- don't know why I didn't follow after that. A LOT of other bands formed from members of AF. Epica, MaYan, Floor to Nightwish eventually, etc.
Tarja is my fav. But Floor is freaking amazing!!
Tarja ghost love score and wishmaster is perfect!!!!do not forget blind guardian.time stand still.mirror mirror.nightfall.bright eyes.the bard's song.
She's actually the first singer. happy to see another person loving tarja :D
This was the BEST reaction yet!! Preston, you have not ever failed to deliver!!
Tarja's voice can make the hardest dude get emotional =)
Or the most emotional dude get hard.
Wtf I'm dying lmao
Floor's too
I loved Tarja didn't think a lot of Annette and think Floor is brilliant. And Marco is totally underrated.
I don't have a favorite, they're both great. I can't and won't choose. They're both different but talented. It's like choosing between Messi or Ronaldo you know your going to win with either one but they play different styles.
I first experienced Nighwish with Tarja as the singer so she is special to me and obviously my favorite.
I saw them in Denver last year. It was an awesome show.
Marco have nice voice... he can also have pure voice like in While your lips are still red.
Tarja and Floor ... we can't compare. Floor is a little less good as Tarja in operatic voice. But Floor have more than 1 voice. She can do growling (Yours is an empty voice), rock voice (Weak Fantasy), operatic (The greatest show on earth)... so versatile. So I love Tarja but Floor is just in a higher planet.
This is clearly coming from someone who has only followed Tara in her nightwish days, she can pretty much do all those things now except growl, but let’s face it, that’s just crass and unremarkable.
Yeah Tarja doesn't always sing operatic style like she mostly does in Nightwish. But yeah not growling - probably not, haven't seen nearly all. IMHO her best stuff is done outside Nightwish.
The Greatest Show on Earth - Live Tamper - PLEASEEEEE!!!!!!
I prefer Tarja overall. Don't forget that there was another singer in between Tarja and Floor - Anette Olzon. She was on 2 Nightwish albums, which I thought were great. She wasn't an operatic singer, so she wouldn't compare to the others in that way, but she was a great singer in general.
Hate Anette
Both Tarja and Floor are incredible, talented and gifted singers with lots of hours of hard work on their backs. No sense to compare. Enjoy both ;)
I can´t believe u are reacting to nightwish!!! that´s freaking awesome!
React to EPICA - CONSIGN TO OBLIVION or any other
Please react to Child In Time - Deep Purple Live 1970
Team Tarja for this song
Team Floor for all the rest of nightwish songs
One of the best timeless songs of all time by deep purple, can only agree with you @Andres Lopez
lmao at your team choice! much of a bandwagoner?
@@FarazOloumi Is cause I think Floor is the best singer of Nightwish, but only Tarja can perform this song as a god.
You are funny) Sleeping sun, Nemo, Riddler, Walking in the air, Deep silent complete, Beauty and the beast, Over the hills and far away, Wish master, Elvenpath, Carpenter - all of these are about Tarja. I can recall more if you want.
Anette takes Slow, Love, Slow.
Respect for Tarja, she is amazing vocalist but Floor is a tsunami. She just grabs you. Floor ever
Nightwish isn't about singers. It's about musicians pushing their limits and become the best. Every member of the band is simply an exceptional musician, and Tuomas is a musical genious. Tarja is still an absolute legend, an amazing singer and I adore her in this version of the song. On the other hand, the years Floor Jansen spent side by side with these super talented guys and the hard work she has put on her art, has propelled her into becoming one of the most versatile and best technical singers in the world... She can now sing absolutely everything, and the emotion in her voice can make you cry, every time. She is trully a siren. Just goggle her...
Tarja chief strength was performing in Nightwish and this was one of her best performances perfect chemistry with Marco (man of hidden talents...!)
My favorite singer depends on the song that is being sung bro. Tarja is TOTALLY meant for the pure classical element, whereas Floor is meant for more metal elements.
I like them both, but in my opinion, for the kind of music that nightwish make, Floor is perfect. The guy singer and bassist is Marco, he is pretty good too. You have to listen to their cover from pink Floyd's song high hope, with Marco doing all the singing. Also there's a performance with both singers Tarja and Floor, just don't remember which song is. And try Epica, song sancta Terra, feat Floor
I believe it was 'Over the Hills and Far Away' - Great song, and displays their friendship!
Another great reaction from you. Most entertaining. Tarja for her operatic style. Floor for taking Nightwish to the next level.
I like all the singers, but Tarja is my favorite.
Glad you get to experience Tarja' s voice. Floor is an unbelievable singer and I love her. However we never forget Tarja and always will appreciate her.
I am new to Nightwish, but so far I'm a fan of the new singer Floor. I've listened to Tarja's original version of Ghost Love Score and Floor's (new singer) live version to compare. And Floor adds what the song was missing, an epic climactic ending. The original song just seems to fade away but the new singer (Floor) belts out some emotionally charged high notes at the end that leave the listener satisfied and in awe. Plus I think she just fits the band better than Tarja did. Her stage presence and style meld very well with Nightwish
I saw Floor live in concert but Marco was actually the best vocalist, Floor was great, just not the main act. Tarja was Nightwish would have loved to see her live...
For me Tarja was like Darksied on Apocalyspe Thanos on planet Titan everytime you saw Tarja it was like an Archangel going to do the lords work she had that presence about her Floor doesnt have. Since your newer to the band you'll always favour Floor, Floor is doing amazing things with the band but I cant forget Tarja greatness.
@@legendofold101 amen to that 👍
@@TinaMUFC10 Just speaking fact.
Tarja is my fave. I loved her when I first started listening. But, I really love Floor.
PLEASE react to NIGHTWISH- THE SIREN live @ END OF AN ERA - Another Tarja 🔥
Tarja is and forever will be incredible.
Floor just commands everything within her field of vision.
We all win.
Holy hell, I love Phantom and metal... but I’ve never heard this ‘til now! Love it!!!
Took a beautiful song, from an amazing play, made it their own...and just as enjoyable, with no actors.... surreal!!
You right bro!!! She is Legend!!! I am glad finally NIGHTWISH have found a Best New Singer who fit with all their songs but Tarja she's still a Legend of NIGHTWISH. Tarja vs Floor? Nightwish win
Tarja is good. I was at her concert and nightwish too. Floor and Tarja are both great singer but Floor is the one who stole my heart!
and because of the title I thought you would do a comparison between floor and tarja because floor sang the phantom of the opera too :D
and here is few position to react:
Tarja and Floor - over the hills and far away
Floor and Epica - sancta terra
Tarja and Within Temptation - Paradise
im sure you will like it!!!!
Oh man, Floor Jansen is great, but Tarja Turunnen is a class of her own. Though Tarja's voice sounds sometimes too much opera-like to me, she was the best singer Nightwish had. But because band and her split, Nightwish had to look for replacement. Floor is not Tarja 2.0, but a very good replacement. She fits in perfectly!
Just saw this.. she was ,y favorite until Floor (the new singer). Glad you enjoy the Nightwish! \m/
Tarja Turunen 🥀 la épica cofundadora y primera vocal femenina de Nightwish REINA de reinas del Heavy Metal Sinfónico Lírico Operístico Soprano🥀 buena reacción a su majestad🥀
You need to see Floor sing this omg.... speechless
Yes, her duet with Henk is incredible. However, I still prefer this version over that one (altho' Floor's ending is OVER THE TOP). Part of why I like Tarja's Phantom better is because Marco is almost perfect. Henk was great but seemed a bit overdone at points.
See Marco the bassist and singer singing "The Islander" Live on stage. very impressive.
All three singers are great in their own way. I believe Floor has a more versatile voice and I love her stage presence.
Marco has had Nightwish as a side project for couple of decades now ( ;D ). His other band he founded and sings in, is Tarot, FOUNDED IN EARLY 80'S and still going strong. So yeah, this guy is seriously professional and a talented professional. Glad you made a point of it :) Shout out from Finland, the metal music wonderland!
All hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑 of Nightwish!!!!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!😀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Alter Bridge - Words Darker Than Their Wings (live)
Full orchestral backing! Amazing performance.
I love Nightwish since their first album, I am big fan of Tarja, but personally I like Floor more because of here different types of vocals. Tarja is amazing but 95per of her singing was operatic. Floor can do the same plus much more. For me Nightwish was never better than it is now and honestly... I cant imagine to be.
I've been a huge fan of NW since the beginning and have liked all 3 singers. They all have their strengths in certain areas. Tarja is a god and spoiled a bunch of fans early on. But I like Floor the best.
I love all of your reactions. Greetings from Argentina.
Yeah. I saw The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway when they came to Birmingham. That start at 2:24 always startles people who are unfamiliar with The Phantom of the Opera. I love it. I took my dad to see it with me, and he had the same reaction as you. Lol. Love your reactions. Much love. ♥
Both, Tarja and Floor fit perfectly with nightwish, the original singer is Tarja and they make a lot of good things with her, they own a lot bc of her, but I think Floor is so damn good too, her voice is so powerful, pretty different but powerful, she can do rock and opera, that’s the diferente between floor and tarja
still love Tarja but.....i`ve been Floored....she is like a female Bruce Dickinson on steroids with a godlike precence...
That is quite a good describtion.
Tarja is Paul Di'Anno and Anette Olzon is Blaze Bayley?
Well said! :-)
Tarja = Opera singer
Anette = Pop singer
Floor = Metal/Rock singer
hengedy great comparison
Tarja is a better soprano, but Floor can sing everything. Nightwish has the best line-up atm imho :)
Floors genius lies in executing the long awaited songs from Dark Passion Play. That album is great but we've had no-one to sing it properly.
My friend, Tarja, Annete and al Floor all three are Soprano but their voice coloration, style and technique are different. I big NW fan, i dont hate Annete, 2 of the best albums, in my opinion, were composed for her to sing. Otherwise Floor is a Goddess! Sorry for my broken English.
I also think Floor is much better at administering her voice. I remember Tarja messing up after a few songs in many concerts
I don’t think floor is very good live imo- loved her on the album, not live.
@@robertoprestigiacomo253 Could you please elaborate a bit on what ''messing up '' might mean ? False keys, maybe ?
Tarja was special, no doubt about it. The pure operatic quality of her voice was mesmerising. I loved the fantastical epicness of Annette’s singing. Floor though takes Nightwish to new heights. Her vocal range is superb and she is a gorgeous rock chick to boot.
Nightwish singers are amazing over all!
old and new :D
Tarja is a fantastic singer but is more suited to operatic style singing. Whereas Floor has the range to compete with the operatic style but also then hit the deep growls of death metal vocalists.
Absolutely need to check out Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red from Wembley (same show as Poet and the Pendulum) if you like how Marko sings. He takes centre stage and Floor provides more of a complimentary backing vocals.
If you want to see Floor do a great operatic performance look up her old band After Forever. The life performance of Dreamflight. One of her best performances ever. Not the newer HD scaled one because while it improved the video quality it lost a little audio quality.
Or for some awesome clean and harsh switching with opera her band revamp. The trial of monsters live at grasp 2010.
I loved Disdain. She nailed both vocal parts flawlessly live.
@@DarkSeraphim1 Ave it awesomely transitioned to trial of monsters
Tarja gives me chills I love this performance!
I love all 3 singers of this band. Just absolutely love the band itself
There are videos with floor and tarja singing together I believe over the hills and far away is one such video . now with that being said each of the 3 singers have their place in the nightwish catalog. Annette was the first of their singers to draw me in with the superlative album imaginaerum, then I discovered tarja with the end of an Era album and it's diverse songs,but then I heard endless forms most beautiful and I fell deeply and hopelessly in love with floors vocals which have no peer as it is the voice from heaven an angels voice.
