I can be hard as hell, depending on the degree of syncopation. Marko uses specific alternate tunings on both of his main performance basses. I presume it sounds better to his ears and probably makes these bass lines and vocals easier to meld.
I was impressed by Floor from the first notes I heard out of her mouth but the more I learn from people like yourself who are very technical about singing she’s even more impressive. I hadn’t really thought about the need for perfection of every muscle doing exactly what it’s supposed to along with the right amount of breath being utilized just constantly to sound so perfect. I’ve never heard someone have such what I call “overdrive resonance” of her voice...she can turn her voice up to 11 at any time and it just sounds so powerful and gorgeous. Also, her control as she’s coming off notes is the best I’ve ever heard. Again, really enjoy your content and learning more about singing (as a non-singer). PS- my comment on the Floor and Tarja vid wasn’t directed at you was for the people arguing who’s better.
im so glad a vocal coach finally did this song, most just do the big 3 and move on but this, in my non singer opinion, is one of floors most impressive displays of range and diversity and its a super overlooked song. thx for doing it, charlie! i learned lots, as i usually do with your vids
Yes, I have so much more respect for her and Nightwish because of all these vocal coaches. For starters, I´m looking forward to that live streaming in May.
They always blow you away with their Epic battles. The Viking and his sister, the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. They All were killing it. Excellent reaction as always Charlie..😎 Hail Nightwish
Thank you for that Charlie, interesting and informative as ever, non-singers like me and I expect plenty of others, do not realise how much work has gone into these performances until you point that out, it's very interesting and impressive. Might I also underline what @Gaël has said below, I know you are not an instrumentalist Charlie but what Marko is singing and what he is playing are very different things, how the timings and beats don't get crossed in his head I do not know, this piece is only one illustration of this talent. A shout out too for Mr. Metronome Kai the drummer, perfectly timed and really fast (live too) double kicks and hands doing something very different. Tuomas has said a whole story drops into his head which he then gets a musical idea to convey this as a score, then cuts that up into the lyrics as individual pieces, you will see all the albums follow a theme to the overall story and link one to another too. Nightwish are something rather special.
I really love the way you completely dissect these songs, and the vocal abilities of the artists. Always a joy to watch, and learning a lot at the same time. Makes me curious to hear you sing yourself. Will you be posting content from your own performances in the future? Ah, I just found and saw some of your performances through your website and other YT channel. Great to see you in action. You are really good. Also clearly a true born theatrical performer, so i now better understand why you can relate so much to Floor, her style, her power and her work. Personally, i think Floor could do the great and famous musicals and light operatic performances as well, with ease, as she showed with Henk Poort. You do a big pile in promoting her and her work, so who knows, maybe in the future, we one day might see a Floor and Charlie duet on stage. I would love to see that ;-) Keep up the good work my friend. It's very positively vibe'd, and very welcome in the crazy corona times we live in today. Greetings!
Well, this is one of the best performances from the "Deacades dvd". Old song but an excellent execution. "Evil" Marko and "Divine" Floor duetting. They say that Floor was sick back then 😵. And how many limbs do mr Kai Hahto possess? Haha, a "Floormachine", good catch. 😅🎣
Thank you, I really like your analysis. That is also the reason why I like Nightwish, not only for Tuomas amazing music, but for the amazing storyteller he is and how Floor makes them come alive with her voice and her whole body, she is simply amazing. I would love to see Tuomas composing an opera.
This was song no.16. They played 20 songs (including Greatest Show on Earth) at this Beunos Aires concert. Floor had been unwell. From the deep emotion of Dead Boys Poem, the dancing in I Want My Tears Back to this wild one - what a talented singer, musician / athlete she is. This incredible band can take you on an emotional journey like no other. Thank you for describing the technical vocal skills so we can appreciate the amazing talents even more.
Thanks so much Charlie! You have become my fav reactor/analyzer for sure. After listening to Nightwish since the early 2000's you have significantly increased my understanding and appreciation of the music and the genius vocal athletes that Tarja and Floor are - Marko's absolutely phenomenal voice as well. 🤘💕😀
I think you explained wonderfully, how difficult the techniques are that Floor uses (breath control and so on). To say it with Kennedy: Floor chooses to sing in these ways not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
Nice one Charlie! If you look up "Epic" you'll find The Iliad and the Odyssey, and also it says, "go see a Nightwish concert." Happy 40th Bday to Floor! I hope to see these guys Live one day. 😊
Slaving the dreamer is cool Besser als die Version von Tarja sorry das is meine meinung du sagst Marco is the Dreamer und Floor die Dearg Due also ein weiblicher Vamp ja der Song is einfach nur klasse

Charlie, thank you so much for the parsing and subtitling :))) Too bad my English is too bad to watch you live on Twitch. Greetings from Minsk, Belarus!
Here's a fun little story, if you haven't done it yet. "Scaretale" with Anette. She doesn't particularly shine as a live singer, but she's in her element here. th-cam.com/video/5EmpS8E7d30/w-d-xo.html
Amazing reaction on an amazing song that always gives me musical theatre vibes when performed by these two together, and more specifically, Phantom of the Opera vibes for parts of the composition.♥ Still so glad they'd put it on the setlist during Decades tour because to me it always seemed rather underrated before. (As does the entire Oceanborn album except ofc Sleeping Sun and Walking in the Air.) So glad more people get to experience this masterpiece nowadays!
Oceans, mermaids, dolphins, etc are a bit of a lyrical theme for Tuomas, popping up in different albums. This was off Oceanborn, which has one of my favourite NW songs, Gethsemane. If you want a reaction with an Easter theme then it's a decent choice! They performed it on this same Decades tour in Buenos Aires, but there is a video of them doing it in Helsinki in 1999 with the original NW line-up. It's an amazing contrast and compare. Different drummer, singer and bassist with the addition of Troy. Well worth your attention :)
Most of the band, including Floor were suffering from the flu when this was recorded. As little as 4 hours before the show, Floor did not know if she would be able to sing, her voice just wasn't there.
Lady Poseidon, love that. Thank you for your analysis on this song. It makes one appreciate even more the amazing talent and skill this band, its musicians, and its singers all have. Thank you again!
When Floor taught voice, one of her students started a prog metal band called Scardust along with an all metal choir called the Hellscore. They have more of a musical metal feel with some great musicianship. Check out "Dials" by them if you've wondered what a prog metal Hamilton might sound like or the song "Gone" which is a favorite of the singer, Noa Gruman.
"Show em my wickednesssssss." Damn, I'm gonna miss him. Hopefully, Nightwish will replace Marco with........wait for it..........a well rested Marco. Great reaction as usual. Keep on Nightwishing on. 🤘😜🤘
I'm pretty sure Floor either has 20 liter lungs or maybe she has some kind of set of bellows, like Troys Uilleann pipes, so she doesn't have to take a breath...like ever. This belt here is just IN-SANE.
I’ve desperately been waiting for you to react to this particular performance. I’m learning a lot from the few really good vocal coaches on TH-cam, but yours stand out. I was expecting that Marco and Floor did something truly amazing here, and you just confirmed my idea. As a Dutchie myself I’m really proud that you appreciate Floor so much, I even heard you’re from Dutch descent yourself?
Surely you’ll have a busy schedule when you’re in A’dam, but if you have time I’d like to invite you to a nice lunch or dinner. That’s a real invitation, not just being polite 😇. Tot ziens!
A little musical theater. Marko plays the devil to Floor's mermaid Ocean spirit character (Daughter of Poseidon). He amorously pursues her affections to no avail. One of Floor's most impressive vocal performances on this one. My friend, you put the other (so called) vocal coaches to shame with your knowledge and understanding of techniques. Every time! The best. 🎶🎶🎶👍
Haha it's funny. I've been posting videos for about 3 months, and as the views increase, so do the haters and trolls. It becomes a little demoralizing, BUT every time YOU comment, it makes me want to continue doing what I've been doing. Thank you as always Thor for your amazing insight and praise 😍
@@CharlieCalottaReacts Always some idiots out there my friend. Don't let them get to you. You do a great job every time. It would be great if there was a way to block the idiots.
Seeing this video for the umptieth time with different reactors and this is the first time I notice Troy is playing amazing solos over the melody at the end... 🤦🏽♀️
Everyone on that stage is in character, mostly because Marko and Floor brought it so hard, Tuomas and Empuu just fell in. Evan Kai had a stink face going.
The vocal emotions are not brought by Tuomas, but by Floor and Marko :) Tuomas gives a raw song on paper and the others work also on the end product. So has Floor a huge input on her part and did she change older songs of NW to make them even more spectaculair (pr example Ghost love score)
I wouldn't call Floor's character Poseidon, she's literally called the mermaid :) BTW, this version is very different from the original, especially Marko's parts. Thanks for sharing the reactions here :)
@@CharlieCalottaReacts hey Charlie, Bravo as usual, have you done Stargazers yet ? Floor does an amazing version of this very early NW song ,cheers NIGHTWISH - Stargazers (OFFICIAL LIVE) Vehicle Of Spirit -Tampere 2016 th-cam.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/w-d-xo.html

Nightwish-Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean with Tapio Wilska Decades Tour 2018 th-cam.com/video/7FI7sn9aUZA/w-d-xo.html 4 min 34 sec , video quality not great .

"Disgraced is my virginity Death has woven my wedding dress Oh Great Blue breathe the morning dew For you are the cradle of the image of god" "Brave now…
I feel like I hear voices like hers every so often, but the biggest difference is the time and effort people are willing to put in to master their instrument like hers. Large people with colorful voices are one in a hand full within my circles, but I've never met anyone in person who has the work ethic, drive, and passion for what they do to pair with those unique talents to become something like Floor
@@CharlieCalottaReacts True. Talent alone will never elevate someone to Floor's status. It requires much work as well. When I was learning to play bass, I played until my fingers bled. It takes that kind of effort to rise above the average.
What's really amazing about this performance is not just the fact that Floor was sick (sick enough to affect her concentration in the latter part of the concert that she messes some of the lyrics up and she had to pace herself in certain songs, e.g. Elan, Nemo, The Kinslayer), but also the rearrangement is entirely different, because not only did the band have to shift from Tarja's dark tone to Floor's brighter one in this performance, but also the male vocals to Marko's as well. Floor's constant shifting in her dynamic also made this very enjoyable and palatable, as I've always considered the studio version to be very monotonous and, for a lack of a better term, droning. I also love how this performance made the story of the song all the more visible (Marko plays the Devil that seeks to corrupt and tempt the Ocean, of which Floor plays both villainess and heroine as the Ocean pretends to submit, only to drown the Devil in the end). I never really got that with the studio (probably didn't help that I skipped the song a lot lol) Also, Charlie, I love your vocal breakdown of the performance. I dunno if you're taking suggestions here, but if you're interested in songs like The Devil...Ocean, you might wanna check out some of Nightwish's older works such as 'Passion and the Opera' (From Oceanborn, with a segment that reminds me of Mozart's Die Holle Rache aka Queen of the Night Aria), 'The Pharaoh Sails to Orion' (also from Oceanborn) and 'Beauty of the Beast' (From Century Child, and what many NW fans consider as the forgotten 4th member of Nightwish's Epics).
Friend, again you make a great song, better by getting deep in the song the music the singers, but you now you are at this moment my fav, reactor i am here to stay, and when i can i wil support you with patrion or other option, have great day, stay safe
Saw an Iron Maiden / Bruce Dickinson reaction where he does his usual thing of punching the air for the big notes. That reactor reckoned it was to help create the note or assist his chest or some such. When Floor did the mega bit of singing with the Olympian breath control, she stuck her arm in the air towards the end and then crouched down for the final note. Was that dramatic effect or was that part of breath management do you think? Thanks for another very informative reaction!
Probably both. It does help a little with support, but by how she usually sings it's definitely not necessary. I'd say more on the side of dramatic effect, but for her, it's definitely all connected. She's an amazing energy on stage
Your speaking voice is like Flooors singing voice, pure flooorgasm, you can read everything and it still sounds fantastic:)))))))) anyway great content 👍
Hey Charly Floor Jansen is not only Singer you listen to a Vocal Choach she have on TH-cam her one Chanel calls Master Class in the 2. EPISODE SHE TALKS OVER brease tecknigs
@@CharlieCalottaReacts Ah good stuff! One of these days I'll have enough free time to actually catch a stream live, but the uploads to TH-cam are just as much fun.
The arrangement of this version is so good though, compared to the cheap midi sound of the studio version. They should totally do a new version of this song with this orchestration and with Floor's voice.
Just stumbled across your channel and enjoying the content. I noticed you said you enjoyed the voice of Tarja Turunen and I'm surprised that no-one has pointed out that Tarja released an entire album of Ave Marias - th-cam.com/video/tR5o4FrFxlo/w-d-xo.html And she released what is probably my favourite Christmas album which is spooky and classical - th-cam.com/video/spJlqZIHK24/w-d-xo.html And did an orchestral tour with her then drummer - th-cam.com/video/3groSGNqMBY/w-d-xo.html - and shows Floor how to sing Vilja Lied! As much as I love Floor, Tarja just has a better feel for that style. And I do like to point out her microphone placement on the orchestral stuff. All the best from Scotland.
Marco loves singing with Floor because she has such a strong voice. He doesn't have to hold back on his vocals.
Marko's ability to sing while playing not so easy bass rhythms at 5:36 is impressive to me
I can be hard as hell, depending on the degree of syncopation. Marko uses specific alternate tunings on both of his main performance basses. I presume it sounds better to his ears and probably makes these bass lines and vocals easier to meld.
This song is one of my top 5 Nightwish songs. Their vocal interactions in this are mind blowing.
I was impressed by Floor from the first notes I heard out of her mouth but the more I learn from people like yourself who are very technical about singing she’s even more impressive. I hadn’t really thought about the need for perfection of every muscle doing exactly what it’s supposed to along with the right amount of breath being utilized just constantly to sound so perfect. I’ve never heard someone have such what I call “overdrive resonance” of her voice...she can turn her voice up to 11 at any time and it just sounds so powerful and gorgeous. Also, her control as she’s coming off notes is the best I’ve ever heard. Again, really enjoy your content and learning more about singing (as a non-singer). PS- my comment on the Floor and Tarja vid wasn’t directed at you was for the people arguing who’s better.
im so glad a vocal coach finally did this song, most just do the big 3 and move on but this, in my non singer opinion, is one of floors most impressive displays of range and diversity and its a super overlooked song. thx for doing it, charlie! i learned lots, as i usually do with your vids

Might I also underline what @Gaël has said below, I know you are not an instrumentalist Charlie but what Marko is singing and what he is playing are very different things, how the timings and beats don't get crossed in his head I do not know, this piece is only one illustration of this talent.
A shout out too for Mr. Metronome Kai the drummer, perfectly timed and really fast (live too) double kicks and hands doing something very different.
Tuomas has said a whole story drops into his head which he then gets a musical idea to convey this as a score, then cuts that up into the lyrics as individual pieces, you will see all the albums follow a theme to the overall story and link one to another too.

Hades and Poseidon? Never heard that analogy before. I always thought Marko was Cthulhu and Floor was a mermaid.
Nightwish: Devil and The Deep Dark Ocean lyrics
A snowy owl above the haunted waters
Poet of ancient gods
Cries to tell the never ending story
Prophecy of becoming floods
An aura of mystery surrounds her
The lady in brightest white
Soon the incarnate shall be born
The Creator of the Night
Deep dark is His Majesty's kingdom
A portent of tomorrow's world
There shall the liquid give Him power
The red-eyed unborn lord
Fatal embrace of the blood red waters
The cradle of infinite gloom
The spell to master this Earth
Carvin' on an infant's tomb
"I will die for the love of the mermaid
Her seduction beauty and scorn
Welcome to the end of your life
Hail the Oceanborn!"
"Disgraced is my virginity
Death has woven my wedding dress
Oh Great Blue breathe the morning dew
For you are the cradle of the image of god"
"Brave now…
One of the almost Nightwish's song ... Slaying the Dreamer the next sugestion reaction
🤔 Thanks for that one. Makes me emotional...
Hi Charlie It was Floor's birthday on Sunday. It was her 40th. Can't believe she pulled this whole show still being sick. She is my Beauty and Beast
Truly! We celebrated in the Nightwish Reacticide discord by watching her 2019 Tokyo concert! She's an absolute legend.
@@CharlieCalottaReacts She is an amazing human being
There really is no word or words to describe Floor she is just other worldly and amazing
With you being a vocal coach, how would you feel if you discovered someone like a Floor? That would have to be an awesome feeling.
Like if someone came to me for voice lessons and sang like that?
I feel like I hear voices like hers every so often, but the biggest difference is the time and effort people are willing to put in to master their instrument like hers. Large people with colorful voices are one in a hand full within my circles, but I've never met anyone in person who has the work ethic, drive, and passion for what they do to pair with those unique talents to become something like Floor
@@CharlieCalottaReacts True. Talent alone will never elevate someone to Floor's status. It requires much work as well. When I was learning to play bass, I played until my fingers bled. It takes that kind of effort to rise above the average.
@@OlettaLiano On the other hand, possessing the self-discipline to _really_ work on something could be considered a talent in its own right 😊
@@calanor4130 Yep. Self-discipline is the key.
The Ocean is a female entity (Life bringer, soft) and Marko is The "Evile One" and he wan't to get with her, but she is having none of it 😆
My Queen casually mass healing another stadium of mortals...
What's really amazing about this performance is not just the fact that Floor was sick (sick enough to affect her concentration in the latter part of the concert that she messes some of the lyrics up and she had to pace herself in certain songs, e.g. Elan, Nemo, The Kinslayer), but also the rearrangement is entirely different, because not only did the band have to shift from Tarja's dark tone to Floor's brighter one in this performance, but also the male vocals to Marko's as well. Floor's constant shifting in her dynamic also made this very enjoyable and palatable, as I've always considered the studio version to be very monotonous and, for a lack of a better term, droning.
I also love how this performance made the story of the song all the more visible (Marko plays the Devil that seeks to corrupt and tempt the Ocean, of which Floor plays both villainess and heroine as the Ocean pretends to submit, only to drown the Devil in the end). I never really got that with the studio (probably didn't help that I skipped the song a lot lol)
Also, Charlie, I love your vocal breakdown of the performance. I dunno if you're taking suggestions here, but if you're interested in songs like The Devil...Ocean, you might wanna check out some of Nightwish's older works such as 'Passion and the Opera' (From Oceanborn, with a segment that reminds me of Mozart's Die Holle Rache aka Queen of the Night Aria), 'The Pharaoh Sails to Orion' (also from Oceanborn) and 'Beauty of the Beast' (From Century Child, and what many NW fans consider as the forgotten 4th member of Nightwish's Epics).
Friend, again you make a great song, better by getting deep in the song the music the singers, but you now you are at this moment my fav, reactor i am here to stay, and when i can i wil support you with patrion or other option, have great day, stay safe
Saw an Iron Maiden / Bruce Dickinson reaction where he does his usual thing of punching the air for the big notes. That reactor reckoned it was to help create the note or assist his chest or some such. When Floor did the mega bit of singing with the Olympian breath control, she stuck her arm in the air towards the end and then crouched down for the final note. Was that dramatic effect or was that part of breath management do you think? Thanks for another very informative reaction!
Probably both. It does help a little with support, but by how she usually sings it's definitely not necessary. I'd say more on the side of dramatic effect, but for her, it's definitely all connected. She's an amazing energy on stage
Great song!
I still think Toumas is a Metal Tchaikovsky rather than a Mozart. The music is more story telling and Romantic than Mozart I think.
Your speaking voice is like Flooors singing voice, pure flooorgasm, you can read everything and it still sounds fantastic:)))))))) anyway great content 👍
Hahahaha that's too much. Thank you though. Hopefully I can get my singing voice to something close to that before I die 😁
Marko + base = Superman!!❤❤
This song sounds like a vocal marathon
The onsets are on each 9th count.
Hey Charly Floor Jansen is not only Singer you listen to a Vocal Choach she have on TH-cam her one Chanel calls Master Class in the 2. EPISODE SHE TALKS OVER brease tecknigs
Yeah we actually watch those on stream
I think of this song as a mini-mini opera.
Oh TOTALLY. It's VERY operatic. Much of NW epic songs are
@@CharlieCalottaReacts Indeed. I finally managed to see/hear their early "Beauty of (not "and") the Beast". Would love to see Floor tackle that one.
Have we shown you Brittany Slayes of Unleash the Archers?
We watched her today :)
@@CharlieCalottaReacts Ah good stuff! One of these days I'll have enough free time to actually catch a stream live, but the uploads to TH-cam are just as much fun.
Playing base while singing like that..wow
Thank You. Kiitos. Could you react to Nightwish The Siren End Of An Era by Tarja. I absolutely love this song.
I bet Floor teached Marco some tricks to do with his voice...
I heard she did! :)
🤩👌💥💯🎼
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Boss battle fight music is right... And Floor is totally boss! 😊
The arrangement of this version is so good though, compared to the cheap midi sound of the studio version. They should totally do a new version of this song with this orchestration and with Floor's voice.
Just stumbled across your channel and enjoying the content. I noticed you said you enjoyed the voice of Tarja Turunen and I'm surprised that no-one has pointed out that Tarja released an entire album of Ave Marias - th-cam.com/video/tR5o4FrFxlo/w-d-xo.html
And she released what is probably my favourite Christmas album which is spooky and classical - th-cam.com/video/spJlqZIHK24/w-d-xo.html
And did an orchestral tour with her then drummer - th-cam.com/video/3groSGNqMBY/w-d-xo.html - and shows Floor how to sing Vilja Lied! As much as I love Floor, Tarja just has a better feel for that style. And I do like to point out her microphone placement on the orchestral stuff.
All the best from Scotland.
Have you thought of finding yourself a metal band and see if you can adapt to sing with them.
I love your reaction to Floor, but you never talk about the band.
Never?
First time saying first!
Nice 😛
Mind you floor was sick this day...just saying...
