Greatest most diverse female singer in the world. Also has the most awesome stage presence, all hail the goddess Floor Jansen 😍🤘
HAIL!
Not just any goddess she's a Valkyrie Goddess
Agreed but listen to Jinjer. Tatiana (lead vocalist) has the most range, period.
More or less what I was about to say.
@@darknessmoto9912 Tatiana is an awesome growler, but her vocal range (and power) is far from the 4 octaves of Floor.
Actually never heard of NightWish but now I am in love! AMAZING!!!
As a Nightwish fan for one year, you are in for a hell of a ride! Especially because of the goddess front woman named Floor Jansen !
Stick around, we'll make a metalhead out of you, if you aren't one already. ;-)
Oh man, you're starting an epic journey on which you'll find countless masterpieces :D
@@Rosannasfriend going to go look her up now!
I've known about them for a while but only started really listening to them about 5 months or so and you're gonna love every second but strap yourself in its gonna be a long wild ride
I found Nightwish about 8 months ago by chance. I listen to Aseveral reaction channels, and this very song popped up in my list...and I decided to listen to his reaction. As a life long hard rock/heavy metal enthusiast, I thought that I had listened to almost every group around! Yes....life long....I am 63 years old, and I started listening to hard rock when I was an 8 year old boy back in 1965. Jimmy Hendrix, The Doors, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and on and on! Then...there is Nightwish and Within Temptation and more...who are in their own category of sheer awesomeness!
Enjoy the rollercoaster ride that is Symphonic Metal!
New subscribers too!
For those of us who like Nightwish, we understand video length and we never mind. If anything we dislike when they are cut short.
They are long.. I’ve never noticed……
Your smile says it all.
Nightwish isn't just a band, playing music. It's a Tolkien journey through every emotion an experience. Each fan is on their own journey. Yet all are in it together.
My suggestion for next reaction would be Storytime from same concert.
She sings in every style possible (opera, rock, pop, growls) and in many languages (german, english, dutch, finish and spanish, check all her performances on the Best Zangers show past year) which also affects the phonetics of singing, SHE IS BRUTAL, and living legend in her prime that deserves more recognition.
Floor is amazing!
But, hats off to the Drummer!
Bruh, that's tuff!
JUJHAR SINGH his name is Jukka Nevalainen. He may not be the best drummer in the world, but he put his soul in every note. He was perfect for Nightwish, but some insomnia health problems made him leave the band - he’s a kind of its manager nowadays -. His replacement, Kai Hahto, is an excellent drummer, but lacks the ‘soul’ element Jukka inherently had - from my point of view obviously -.
@@silenoz666 I agree, Kai is awesome and I don't say this to criticize him in any way, but Jukka is Jukka and I still love watching him go absolutely mental after Floor hits that note.
Jukka is probably among the best dynamic drummers..
As you said: far from the fastest and technical (though what he does is far above average), he knocks those drums so hard you could ask yourself if he did it for his life?
This gives an extra knack to the drums. It's a style that suits symphonis music fine and give resemblance to those hardhitting dynamic percussions.
@@andreaspedersen3952 I forget who it was, but I remember a comment some time ago saying Jukka was beating those drums like they stole his lunch money.
@@shaggybaggums Yeah it shouldn't surprise me if they did LOL :p
I am a simple man. I see Nightwish and I click. I come to clear the path for General Waychoff, leader of the TH-cam regiment of the Nightwish Army. I see Gabriel Bardac below has briefed you already, excellent work! Also, excellent reaction, I enjoy that you take the time to make it an educational moment as well as an entertaining one. My subscription is well earned.
We need a word for the band. They are some of the most accomplished musicians you will ever see. That is not easy music to play, and to put together a rhythm as tight as that is really an achievement. She could never have risen to those heights in front of a sloppy band.
It's crazy when you watch many reactions. Singers, bassists, guitarists, etc.
All of them say that every band member is doing a flawless job.
@@rundownaxe Did you think they were less than adequate?
@@donepearce Absolutely not! I am saying that people who know a lot about music say that they are flawless.
And I agree with them. This performance is perhaps my favorite of all time.
@@rundownaxe Ah, OK. That wasn't clear. We agree.
and a bit of recognition for the sound engineer in this case. I dont know how much of this was like front house sound, or completely remixed after, but it was stunning job. At the very least, they must have had a great monitor engineer on the day
Hello, Michal Towber! Nightwish Army incoming here, just found your reaction on our radar.. As I could see, you enjoyed the music and the interpretation, and you are pretty well informed about the lead singer, Floor Jansen. Your technical comments were on point and informative, you are natural in explaining things. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, I make my duty to give you some info that may help you navigate (a 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 saw 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 "

Or you could react to some of Floor Jansen's performances in Beste Zangers 2019 show (6 covers + 2 duets, singing songs from other genres, usually with a "touch" of metal..)
Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. Subscribed, for that.
What about Song of Myself also from the same Wacken performance? I loved that one.
@@g3synth205 For me, every Nightwish song is a diamond or a pearl, depending, but each is precious. My list is incomplete, I know. Song Of Myself is a masterpiece, both live at Wacken, and the complete studio version too.. made a "hybrid" once, with a special occasion.. it is in my channel.
Holy overload :)
I get it though. As an 80's metal head, I has given up on music when grunge took over in the 90's.
Nightwish, and Floor in particular, got me listening to and looking for new metal again.
@@kmdcompelelct 90 s killed metal,no riffing,no long solos.The living breath of metal imo.
@@keithvincent4 uhm, no it didn't. If anyone stopped listening then that's on them. Metal is alive and well, riffs, solos, all of it. Lest we forget that Nightwish had its start in the 90's, so if the 90's killed metal then where does that leave them?
Tuomas Holopainen (keyboardist) is the genius behind the composition and arranging
Love Nightwish & Floor & watching reactions. This band has incredible depth. Toumas, the keyboard writes almost all music & lyrics. They are all amazing performers & artists in their roles.
This is definitely one of their epic songs that showcases Floor’s classical abilities & elegance. She finds ways to weave in every style of singing with interesting colors.
Anything from Wacken 2013 is awesome. Try reacting to the show opener. Dark Chest of Wonders. More chest voice, more belting & more headbanging.
I think you are now ready to react to the other 2 big masterpieces of nightwish which showcases floors amazing versatility and skills:
" The Greatest Show On Earth (live Legendado PT/Br)" and "The Poet And The Pendulum (HQ with lyrics. Live @ Wembley 2016)"
👆 this!
Live in Tampere Greatest Show on Earth! is best version in My opinion!
One thing that always amazes me... Among many things... Is the way Floor can smile and sing at the same time... Just wonderful
The Poet and the Pendulum live at wembley and then The Greatest Show on Earth (live at Tampere). Both those performances are unreal!
That entire sequence after you paused the first time is really some of the best and most poetic commentary on this song and the vocals I have yet to see among reactions...
I've watched hundreds of reactions to Nightwish Ghost Love Score. I love how you've touched on just about every point about this epic performance as well as the festival. Floor is amazing and I really appreciate how you've done this reaction video. This song was performed well over an hour into their performance that night. There are so many more great Nightwish songs from Wacken 2013 to react too as well. I hope you look into them and enjoy them as much as we do.
More Nightwish please, you’ve just struck gold! 😃
Forget everything and take a look at that big golden trophy behind her. It's a freaking Emmy Statuette!
Always like heaven to watch Queen Floor in this masterpiece of Nightwish. Epic performance live at Wacken 2013 / Germany. You can take any song from this live gig, all the same outstanding quality. Thumbs Up to this reaction Michal, really profound and interesting, one of the best on TH-cam. Please check out more Nightwish / Floor Jansen. They are so versatile and deliver always. Best live band with the best singer. We are so lucky to have them around. For a vocal coach also interesting Floor Jansens rendition of Shallow from Lady Gaga; but beware you might love it more than the original. :-)
P.S. Miki, I just saw your reaction video to Shallow from Lady Gaga. You MUST check out Floor's version of Shallow. You will Love it.

Thanks for the reaction, welcome to the nightwish family. And Happy New Year
Enjoyed very much. Thank you. YOU ROCK!!!!!
Of the billions of video reacts for this OUT OF THIS WORLD AND OTHERS song yours is the one I liked the most. You are assertive in your descripcion of what it is going on with the music and the interaction within the band, you know what you're talking about and just explain it in a way that we people with little knowledge about singing technique can easily understand. Congratulations.
Check out the song entitled: The Greatest Show on Earth at the Webley Arena. The song, the lyrics and what is happening and being projected on stage is amazing. Strap in, it's a 24-minute long song.
Agree, although I prefer the Tampere version even if I adore Richard Dawkins at the Wembly arena.
THE SHOEMAKER SONG BY NIGHTWHIS FROM HIS ALMBUM HUMAN NATURE OF 2020, IS a genuine piece of art, for the real story, the connection with Shakespeare, the moon and space. THE MUSIC IS NOTHING LESS THAN MAGNANIMOUS. PLEASE ANALYZE IT AND YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A TRIP, AN EXPERIENCE ..... THANK YOU VERY MUCH FROM CHILE.
Hello from the Nightwish Army. I expect there will be many more dropping by to say hello. Nightwish is an incredibly diverse band and Floor is an incredibly diverse vocalist. Often when someone says diverse, someone may think "jack of all trades, master of none." With Nightwish and Floor, they are nearly masters of all. I hope you react to more of their incredible performances, as well as Floor's performances on the Dutch TV singing show Beste Zangers. Her duet of Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort has to be seen.
Everyone always brings of the bad some of the opera, when compared to the rest that was her least impressive performance. Let's recommend something like her performance of "mama", or "about love I don't know a thing" or even "shallow". To show a different side of her maybe "Que Se Siente". I personally prefer the performance is she in Henk did a few weeks ago of the Phantom of the opera.
Agree
Subscribed. Welcome to the Nightwish family. Hopefully they'll be more Nightwish reactions or even Floor solo reactions from Beste Zangers!
She was simply magnificent on that show.
Totally out of her element on that show but WOW!! Every week she SLAYED!!! Floor is to me... a new day Linda Ronstadt.... but better!!
Came across your review and have to say that was very well done. Nightwish is a group I stumbled on about 6 years ago and got just addicted. Composition, quality, voice are all out of this world. Floor is so good and can do so many genres. You might want to listen to Euphoria (a song festival song she is performing in a Dutch singers TV programme “Beste Zanger”) or else listen to 2 very contrasting songs: story time and dead boy’s poem. That illustrates Floor’s capabilities. Anyhow thank you for your your good and very pleasant review
Just in time to announce the comming of the Nightwish Army!
Your face was like "I Love you!" 83k in the audience. The last note: Floorgasm!
Welcome to the "Floorgasm" - that sensation of chills and other euphoric responses from hearing her sing and hit those amazing notes with such skill, power, and control, that she makes it look/sound effortless.
Very nice description of how her feminine voice sails above the male rock/metal/symphonic and yet they blend, well done.
Subscribed!!
Thank you thank you thank you! I love when Nightwish gets more exposure like this. :)
More Floor with Nightwish, just about any song from this same Wacken 2013 concert, or could you react To her performance on the song Phantom Of The Opera on 2019 tv-show Beste Zangers :) ?
And let us not forget the crew leaders, I do not know who the front of house and recording techs were, nor the LD (Lighting Director) were. Whoever they were getting that good of a mix live and out doors, with the air cooling at night, With that many sources on stage, not to mention the magnificent light show and pyro production, hail to the crew!!!
MARIAH CAREY: CAN YOU WHISTLE TO 8 OCTAVES?!??
FLOOR JANSEN: CAN YOU EVEN GROWL?!??
HOLD MY BEER
Try Santa Terra with Epica (Simone) feat: Floor Jansen I think you’d be impressed. Just a note Floor could sing a menu from a restaurant and it would be epic! Your mic needs to be turned up couldn’t hear your comments, good reaction🤘🤘🤘
hohoho! I think you meant Sancta Terra although maybe Santa Terra could be a christmas version ;)
Your right that’s what happens when I don’t have my glasses on, at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Thanks for the correction 👍
If metal is not really the music you're drawn to, try one of their less metal songs. A good choice would be Sleeping Sun, live at Tampere 2015.
However, if you want to see more of her stage presence and power projection, a bit more active than here, try either Yours Is An Empty Hope (live at Wembley or on the Nightwish Cruise) or 7 Days to the Wolves (live at Wembley). She also growls in the first one, and the second is best described as Xena the Musical performed by a Berserker Amazon.
Welcome to the Nightwish Family! great reaction and analysis. Hello Extreme Close-Up Cam! you're a beautiful lady. luckily you don't have long nose hairs. Floor was 32 at the time of this performance. She started singing professionally as the lead singer of After Forever when she was 17.
One advice on Nightwish ... always listen to them LIVE, always.
Nightwish Army has arrived at You 🦉💜🙏🏼
Now that you've discovered Nightwish, you will find your self "naturally drawn" to this genre from now on. Trust that from a girl who couldn't give metal the time of day before last year. Except for my brief fandom of Evanescence years earlier. Evanescence doesn't even compare . I've discovered so many symphonic bands since Nightwish as well, including Epica. Check out their song Sancta Terra, particularly the video that features floor.
Love your reaction..... maybe should watch this one... floor jansen and henk poort - phantom of the opera 😘looking forward to that one...
You got a very nice way to present your reactions, an I love the way you dit it with "Ghost Love Score" 😍
Brilliant review and reaction, If you haven't already, watch the whole concert sometime, not a weak song in it, beautiful melodies and incredible musicianship, glad you have seen Night wish with Floor, now you can carry on through the universe!
Floor always stays classy and in an age where cultural trash is the norm, it is really nice to see. Even when Floor is being seductive, she remains classy. One thing to note, while Floor is singing in a feminine way over all that testosterone, she is standing in front of the audience in a male power stance, projecting power and authority. It says, "I'm in charge."
Judging by the interviews the band has given, she has struck a very skillful balance between remaining a lady and at the same time being one of the guys. Along with her obvious talent, this is probably a major reason for her continued success with Nightwish.
when I listen to this im not thinking masculine or feminine.. I don't care at all.. I just enjoy it.. Who cares
Bloody hell you and your gender politics. They are succesful because they are mighty good, not because what is hanging at their groin.
When reviewing a song from them in the future, you might look to see if it was performed at Wacken '13. Probably one of the best produced concerts as far as sound quality. Wembley and Tampere are also great. This is a band made for live performances.
Thanks for doing this, Michal!
I would like to recommend you to check pretty different side of Nightwish, a song called My Walden, live at Tampere, Finland 2015, their home base, It more like Celtic folk song with really beautiful pipes that their sixth member, Troy, plays (Uilleann pipe, wooden flute, tin whistles - he also play bouzuki, bodhran, mandola, e-bow and acoustic guitar, but not in this song). He's really talented multi-instrumentalist from the UK. He has worked with NW since 2006 or -07 as a session player and he became a permanent member at the same time with Floor, October 2013.
Of course there's also an epic song of all epics, magnificent song about the birth of universe and birth of life on Earth: song called the Greatest Show On Earth, live at Tampere 2015 also. It's about 22 minutes song (but doesn't feel like that long). You will love it, I promise!
congrats ! you are the first vocal coach who mentioned the fact that there was an interlude in the song, and i have seen hundreds of em on yt, also you did your homework on Floor that she was a vocal coach to, if you want to explode your channel do more Nightwish with Floor, maybe since you are a vocal coach you should see Floor doing a duett the song is Phantom of the Opera here is the link, its the most viewed yt duett in the universe and its shows her qualities when she is out of her comfort zone of Symphonic Metal th-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/w-d-xo.html also you could view the song Storytime of the same show Wacken 2013 th-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/w-d-xo.html where the hight notes at the end are a goosebumps garanty, have a nice day grts. from a dutch guitarplayer living in germany, member of the nightwish army, orange legion
I think the interlude was so Emppu could take a leak. ;-]
@@Ayerstairs Well, I think they ALL disappeared from the stage for a bit. But, Emppu for sure, as much as he was drinking... lol
Actually, given that Wacken Open Air was in front of 82,000 people, I'm thinking Floor needed some last-minute confidence boosting. Keep in mind: Her biggest fear was "completely fucking it up" (from the documentary "Please Learn the Setlist in 48 Hours) -- and one of her favorite songs to sing is GLS. She needed a confidence booster because she wasn't yet a year out of her burnout, to spite touring with Nightwish since September 2012.
I'm thinking that Floor went backstage, and then everybody came back as well. Conversation went like this:
Floor: Hey guys. You think I'm doing okay?
Troy: Bloody brilliant, Floor -- you've got this. You know the song, just trust yourself to sing it. And we're all behind you.
Floor: You really think so?
Tuomas: Yes, we do. And as Troy said, you can do this. We have faith in you.
@@isaiahwelch8066 I don’t think so. Look at how she smiles on stage. She is having a lot of fun. Floor was already with the band for 10 months at this point and the band had told her two days before this concert that they wanted to keep her. So I don’t think her confidence needed any boosting at this point. Not any more. It’s the other way around actually. The band has stated that Floor gave the band a lot of confidence when she joined. And don’t forget that she already had a 16 year carreer in heavy metal when she was asked to join. In that time she had already played many big metal festival stages before with her previous bands so she was already used to big audiences.
@@treintje1001 Eh, you could be right. But the other thing is, Floor also wanted to be accepted by the fans as well. One of the things I've always thought is that her performance here, wasn't so much for the band, as it was for the fans. She even says as much in the documentary, that she wasn't Tarja or Annette, and that yes, she was replacing them -- but she wanted to be her own singer. Which tells me that this performance of GLS was an audition, so to speak, for the fans missing Annette (little in number though they are) and Tarja (hence the hardcore fans always saying "Tarja is better, and Floor doesn't measure up").
With now at least 6 years accumulated being with Nightwish, and Floor knocking out iconic songs -- GLS from Wacken 2013, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, Buenos Aires, 2018, and her duet with Henk Poort singing "Phantom of the Opera," I've noticed that more and more, Floor is proving, meritoriously, that she is just as good, if not better than, Tarja.
But the point remains: GLS from Wacken 2013 wasn't so much an audition for the band as it was for those fans that were still grieving over the loss of Tarja. Which is why you hear so much emotion from her at the end of the song.
I thoroughly enjoyed your insightful comments Michal. Well done!
That was very good commentary! Many of the reviews are cut up or just not entertaining but you are cool to listen to and your knowledge comes through strong ..great job!! I’m subscribing you sold me!!
Great Video! Thank you for sharing 💜
Yayyyy Nightwish ''popped up''...you've got a New subscriber (namely...''Me'' haha).
Love Nightwish...Love Floor...love all of their 120 little jewels we call songs...(and Song of Myself is my all time Fav song of Nightwish).
Thank you so much for this one...
Please keep up the great react vids you make...i'll be there whenever i see Nightwish passing by).
Big hugs from the Netherlands 🎵🤘🎶🤘🎵🎸🎶🤘🎚🎛🎹🎸🥁🎤🎻🎺🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Nice reaction. I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned it. But there were 82,000+ in the audience during their performance. GLS is the the 13th of 15 songs that they performed that night.
I saw a Nightwish reaction, clicked, enjoyed it and subscribed.Thank you and enjoy the Nightwish ride.
Tuomas (the keyboard player, and the songwriter for the band) is a genius. He sometimes does compose songs, but usually he does compose pieces of art.
Great reaction video, Ill keep checking for more
You've just been FLOORED again!!
Enjoyed all your comments on GLS, Michal. After many months of watching Gaga and Freddie Mercury performances, I was at a loss on where to turn to next, and noticed by accident that many reactors were reviewing NW performances. After 6 months of NW I still haven't had enough and fortunately they are coming out with a new album and touring again in 2020. Nightwish is arguably the most creative band on the planet and every song is vastly different with surprises within each song. You'll undoubtedly receive many recommendations to tune into their other two epic plays "The Poet and the Pendulum" (Live Wembley 2016) and the "Greatest Show on Earth", but you should also check out Floor's recent performances on the show "Beste Zangers Live 2019" (Best Singers) in which she sings in 5 different genres and 5 different languages. The show starts off with Floor's "Vilja Lied" fangirl tribute to her opera idol, Henk Poort, who is also on the show. Her symphonic metal "Phantom of the Opera" duet with Henk that ends the show is a masterpiece, but so is her remake of Gaga's "Shallow".
From what you are saying i think you might also want ta take a look at the band called Epica, with the talented and stunningly beautiful Simone Simons, who also is a close friend of Floor. A great song to start with would be "Chasing the dragon" live at the "Retrospect" show where the band was supported by full symphonic orchestra and choir. th-cam.com/video/Dx-FsHAQHp8/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction. I recommend you watch Nightwish "The Poet And The Pendulum" live at Wembley. It's an amazing composition the displays a broad range of her vocal vocabulary.
Somebody once said she was the female Freddie Mercury. I couldn't agree more.
I heard you mention what people often refer to Floor as (Valkyrie, Wonder Woman ETC) but it's not JUST because of the stage outfit. Floor is a legit SIX FEET tall which is taller than a lot of MEN I know. She just towers over most people and many of her fans could very easily picture her in some sort of armor on a winged horse with a shield and spear choosing the slain.
Good to see an articulate reaction video from someone who knows about singing.
Floor does have operatic experience from her teenage lessons. She was also a competitive bodybuilder in her 20s. You can see she is a big woman(6'1" 200lbs) who can control that 82,000 person audience without a problem. Nightwish fans love Floor! idk your age but she is 40 years old, married to another musician and they have a very young daughter.
You got to credit this band as an whole, it's really hard to believe this is live, its so perfect you swear its a studio version. This by far has to be the best live performance in history in my opinion.
"Poet and the Pendulumn" is another great Nightwish song
with a very interesting background story.
Jinjer - Pisces requests incoming!
If you want to do "something else" try Jinjer-Pisces live session (as i said above) or "Babymetal - Akatsuki Black Night HD" (live). With the info that the singer (babymetal) is 16 years old.
amazing reaction, tnx. and pls don't be shy to interrupt and giving your thoughts, that's why we're here of course...
On a technical note: your microphone volume level is simply too low to hear what you are saying while the music plays. Now it's more like watching someone do mime. Crank up the microphone volume more so we can actually hear your lovely voice. :o)
Another option would be to add text of what you are thinking or feeling in the upper right corner when you edit the video. That way we know what you are saying or thinking, but we don't hear your voice competing with the song.
This^ . Have seen a couple others do it, & it works well.
And the music in the opening is a lot lowder than her voice, that needs to be adressed in post-production.
I upped the volume after her first words and my speakers blew me away with the opening, so that needs to be leveled...
Alternatively, let it play. 🙏🏻
You should check out (react to) Floor & Henk - Phantom of the Opera live at Beste Zangers. You can thank me later.
great reaction video. thank you. carry on and stay safe and well.
You need some "Beste Zangers" in your life. Dutch TV show where a group of singers from different genres hang out for a couple of weeks. Each day one of them is the focus of the show and the others all get to sing a song for them. Maybe one of that person's songs, maybe one they love, maybe a childhood favourite. Not a competition, just for the love of singing. Floor did the 2019 show and blew everyone away. It's very popular among reactors especially as it's so intimately filmed that you can really study her technique closely. She also does a variety of different types of music (and in different languages!). Her cover of Shallow hit the Dutch charts and her duet with Henk Poort doing Phantom of the Opera had fans ecstatic. Worth treating yourself to Henk's cover of the Disturbed version of Sound of Silence as well. He's a veteran opera / musical theatre legend in The Netherlands and played The Phantom professionally for years. All the singers on it are great. A TH-camr called Denise Hofs has posted the full episodes with English subtitles. The Beste Zangers YT channel has all the videos of the songs themselves though without any of the story around each one. Enjoy!
You really critiqued this perfectly !
You need to check her out on besti zangers. She sings several songs in a variety of languages. Or check out some of her older music when before nightwish. She can do growls and opera. Enjoyed your reaction video.
She her sings several songs in a variety of languages AND STYLES.
Very nice reaction video... love to see you do Floor's Phantom of the Opera on Beste Zangers, and Sohyang's epic live performance of Everyone on Immortal Songs 2
Nightwish army Holland incoming! 🤘🏼❤️🇳🇱🔥
Be prepared for a whole flood of people on your channel if you choose to react on other songs of nightwish or Floor Jansen lol ;)
If one was to describe Floor Jansen in one word it would have to be, "versatile". She was recently on a Dutch reality show with other singers from the Netherlands and she covered a song from an operetta, a modern "Dutch Folk" song , an intimate version of "Shallow" from Lady Gaga, and a "Phantom of the Opera" duet. She had her fellow cast-mates variously in awe or in tears. Sincerity is Floor's main strength as a vocalist and as a person.
Floor is a Valkyrie, there are four very powerful men. Who blow me a way with their talent, but then DAMN this woman comes out and joins the others. She is a woman and when she starts singing she adds to that power. I guess that when you join a male a female together you achieve a greater being!
I loved how you talked quite a bit about composition. :) Awesome!
Watch Beste Zangers 2019 floor und Henk Phantom of the Opera. In fact just watch the whole season.
I have seen several reactions of Ghost Love Score recently and I have my own ideas, being a Nightwish fan, and your reaction was the most insightful. You may also consider 'the Greatest Show on Earth', which is more of a symphony style (their third 'symphony'), but it is a little longer. Or you may also want to listen to Nightwish with Tarja, their first singer (who sings like an angel in my opinion), maybe Swanheart. Excellent, thank you.
Nice honest, humble reaction. Because there's nothing left to teach Floor but sure you can teach others to be more like Floor. She's Dutch and the rest of the band is Finnish. All outstanding musicians.
I agree on reviewing the version of Phantom of the Opera where she sings with Henk Poort on the Dutch show Beste Zangers.
Imagine being there in the front row and looking up at Floor. The boots looked like they had 4" to 6" heels. She's 6" tall. Add the heels and that would make her 6'-6" tall (2 meters)! The director had the Leni Riefenstahl technique going. Most of the camera shots of her were from below looking up to give her the look of a Teutonic giant goddess. The audience was shot from above and the band was shot flat. Brilliant.

The thing about Nightwish songs...is they're not just songs. They're epic tales to tell. They can make you cry. They can melt your face off. They're super versatile. And they have the greatest, most passionate fans in the world. I truly hope you decide to venture further with Nightwish. You won't regret it

4 mins in and im totally sure that I'm watching a professional
Nightwish "Dead Boy's Poem" Buenos Aires Live 2018 Beautiful Floor balad
Being Symphonic Metal allows them to take their music in several different directions. They have the huge epis multipart masterpiece production songs like this or "the poet and the pendulum" or "The greatest show on earth". They have several of the more classic heavy thrash metal sound in songs like "Romanticide" or "Song of Myself" or Dark Chest of Wonders".. they even have a very celtic rock sound on songs like "E'lan" and "the Walden".. Your choice, take your pick or like us, love it all..
When this was taped Floor had only been with Nightwish about a year.
She was called in to replace the bands 2nd singer Anette.
One strong female singer. How about two? Simone Simons and Floor are amazing.
Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show
A metal band with a live orchestra including choir.

Also don't discount Marko.
Check out Nightwish - The Islander and While Your Lips are Still Red.
Always watch the live videos. They are one of the few bands that are better live.
Welp gotta love Nightwish reaction videos. Subbed cause ya know Nightwish.
I'm a simple man, i see NightWish i click.
You should try Epica - Sancta Terra Simone Simmons & Floor Jansen duet .
Floorgasmed again, and again, and again... Like everyone of us, Nightwish Army! Keep listen the greatest band on Earth! Best (Night)wishes, Michal!
The drummer is awesome too!
Olé from Brazil. This band is incredibly versatile and Floor Jansen came to the band and gave the finishing touch that was missing.
I agree with your review. Even if you don't know heavy metal, when I listen to Black Sabbath these changes in music have attracted me.
Nightwish, Therion and Haggard are masters at this.
The last note you got was captured by FLOORGasm (like everyone else).
Check their other songs from that same concert as well, they're all amazing. Storytime for example, many elements in that one. Romanticide, heavier song. Well, any song really :)
Excellent analysis. It's true symphonic, progressive metal has set a new standard, yet again.
Welcome to the world of Nightwish!!! Turkish Division speaking :)
I had a teacher called "Tauber" (=non anglicized version of your surname), which is also the name of the male dove in German. "Ow" like in window is a similar to German "Au" indicating window's old meaning: "wind-eye". In German the Latin form "fenestra" is now replacing window. "Ge" is a common modification tool in German, e.g. for creating nouns: Ow/"Au-ge" means eye or "Ge-sicht"(sight) means face.
Now you have to react to;
Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session)
Great reaction :) If you like this, then prepare for a big ride!
