Thank you for coming back to Nightwish, the big smile on your face says it all. You are one of us, obviously. I'm glad that your better half :) was present, I could read the curiosity on her face. I think she left with a positive impression. Maybe a few reviews together would be a good idea.
Nice to see your comment here Gabriel, I haven't watched Nightwish reactions for some time now, I was busy but like any drug you will come back to it after a while and so did I. I just love the music and I love when people literally get their eyes and ears opened with somethin special like Nightwish. It takes a while to fully understand the entire greatness of Nightwish's music. You need put away your preconceptions...
Please tell me this is why you listened to K-pop for a year. To lure the K-pop lovers to your channel and then confront them with good music. Job wel done. So much commitment. I bow to you.
Nightwish Army UK Division new recruit here reporting for duty. I'd never heard of either Nightwish or Floor until around 6 months ago after deciding to see what all the fuss is about after hearing so much about them from a work colleague and OMG, blown away and now I'm buried deep down the Nightwish rabbit hole and never want to resurface whilst absorbing everything from the Tarja, Annette and Floor eras. All are great but Floor for me has it all. All of the Nightwish constituent parts are phenomenal making possible the experience that we all see, hear and feel when we watch and listen to them. It's transcendental. Thank you for a wonderful reaction. Paul 👍😊🙏
Jukka needs to get a shout out!! I never hear anything about his drumming but he KILLS it on this song. His transitions are seamless and he's playing like a madman throughout the song, especially the outro section!!!
I'm Finnish and can't do Estonian, but there are quite a bit of similarities between our languages. So, "Kummitus" is "Ghost" both in Finnish and in Estonian, and I believe "Armastus" is "Love" in Estonian. "Partituur" (Estonian) and "Partituuri" in Finnish means sheet music or "Score". So, there you have it :-) Edit: ...and obviously "Öösoov" means Nightwish. "Yö" is Night in Finnish and "Öö" the same in Estonian. "Soov" is wish or desire etc. in Estonian , whereas in Finnish there's a different word - "Toive" - for it
We do have "armas" in Finnish too. Armas = love, dear (noun, adjective, also a male name), it's just an oldish expression. Funny thing is .. if we were to derive a verb from it, it would be armastaa, and a noun derived from that would be armastus.
I have been watching your bts reactions to this was a nice surprise!! Nightwish is also a favorite of mine. Also it’s nice that a band from my country (Finland) is appreciated!!
And every time I listen any Nightwish song I get "Tuomased" because of his amazing composing skills. Lets not forget him, and the whole amazing band. Every single member of this band is incredibly talented👍
Then the time seems about right to go to the next level with another wonderful creation from Tuomas ... For me the absolutely most influential songs beside GLS are "The Greatest Show on Earth" and "The Poet and the Pendulum". There are lots more but these are just awesome!
She's going to be singing the Dutch national anthem this sunday at the F1. I can honestly say that this will be the first time I'm excited to hear the national anthem 😄
I saw Nightwish for the first time at the end of September in 2012 in Salt Lake City and had Kamelot as their touring partner. I made the drive from the Seattle area to meet my then-girlfriend so that we could attend the show together. TBH, I was more of a Kamelot fan and didn't know too much about Nightwish but had really liked what I had previously heard. Annette was the singer for Nightwish at the Salt Lake City show. The next day I had to drive back to Washington state (where I was based in the Army) and decided to see Nightwish and Kamelot in Seattle two days later. When Nightwish came onstage in Seattle I did a bit of a double take and thought to myself "I do believe this is a different singer than two nights ago." And it was Floor. And it was still a great show. A little later on I had read about what had transpired within the band and their change in vocalists (and had subsequently seen the documentary). I find it quite a big deal (for myself) that, among the fans of the Nightwish Army (not counting tour personnel), that I may be one of a very few, if not the only one, to have seen Annette's last show and Floor's first show only two days later. I will always say that I do love them both!
I saw them at march 2012 in Joensuu. It was 2nd best concert in my life. For me Taikatalvi is very important as Marco's voice is magical. I understand why they don't play it example in US but it have good lyrics and its lovely song :'D I have seen them many times and it made me sad to see them live 2021 without Marco, but I really love Floor too. I have seen her backstage and she is giant woman with giant heart :)
That's awesome you saw both of those shows. I was at the Denver concert (when Annette was sick and Elize sang in her stead, the documentary show). It was definitely unique.
@@tink5188 I attended my first Nightwish concert in Denver in 2014. The band asked the audience to see how many had attended the 2012 concert and about half of them had.
@@machintelligence oh man. I wish I hadn't missed that concert. I only just saw Floor sing with them for the first time this year. I wish I had seen her back in 14 too.
I almost teared up when I saw you had an emotional feeling towards the end. This never gets old, can't wait for December to finally see them live after postponed twice.
I've forgotten how many times I've watched this video since 2013. I try to watch it with newbie uploaders who haven't watched it. Always a treat to see their eyes bug out when Floor starts cranking up her powerful voice!
Hard to explain what this song does to me. My first Nightwish, I still listen all the time. Emotionally kills me. Probably heard it 1000 times, still not enough. An immediate addiction. The trapdoor of the most fantastic rabbit hole you will experience.
Having seen a lot of these Ghost Love Score reactions, I thought I'd try to watch them all. Then Google told me there were over 1500! Think that says it all about this Band, this Singer, this Song and this Performance. AND this devoted audience.
Congratulations with your excellent channel Jim! ....Watched your very first reaction and almost all your reactions to Symphonic Metal. Best wishes from Namibia
Thanks to this song I rediscovered Nightwish and my Love for music in general, and of course Floor , who I love most of All🥰!!! This is happening Right now : Nightwish 10th Studio album is in the making !!! Floor's first Solo album is in the making !!!! Floor Jansen sings national anthem during F1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix in 4 September !!! Jukka (Gentle Giant ) Koskinen is an official Nightwish Bass Player !!! NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Thank you for reacting again to Nightwish. I love it that a reactor likes Nightwish and BTS. I like them both. Going to see Nightwish in november again. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘💪🇳🇱🌷🤗
Nightwish Army here, just popped here to say, go a deep dive, I haven't watched reaction videos for awhile. But it's always good to come back to someone experiencing Nightwish. It's the best experience. Also live they are phenomenal I've had the luck to witness all 3 vocalists in my time as a fan. And Floor is by far the most versatile and imo the best.and I like both the others.
It's always funny to see and hear that people are discovering Nightwish for the first time. I've been listening to them for like 17 years and they were not new then.
I had of course seen the title before I clicked on this video, so probably that helped me with the Estonian title, but as a Dutch speaker, I noticed the last word was very similar to the Dutch word partituur, which would be score in English. I unfortunately haven't seen Nightwish live with Floor yet, but have seen them with Tarja and Annette, and have seen Floor with After Forever, but if things go as planned, the postponed show in Dublin will allow me to finally see them in November. I definitely hope this song will be on the setlist.
I heard GLS two years ago for the first time. Since then I listened hundreds of times to the reactions. Never get enough of that. This musical artwork completely changed my musical taste. And Floor is without a doubt the best female singer of this era!
Always floored again 🤪. Maybe you will also return to Epica. Still missing their epic masterpiece "Kingdom of Heaven Part 3" Omega Alive. You can blow your mind again.
The band is Finnish. Tuomas is a genius, a metal Mozart. Troy you will see sometimes is British and Floor is Dutch. It brings something new on a next level. Like in the old days when they experimented with Rock. Two songs come to mind. Nina Hagen - Naturträne live and Focus - Hocus Pocus live in the USA at the late show or something.
Tuomas is ok, not even close to a genius. It's just not that modern pop shit most people are used to. People need a proper horizon again. 200 years ago, musicians would have wiped the floor with todays musicians. And most musicians from asia wipe the floor with modern western musicians.
I don't speak Estonian but my mother tongue is Finnish and I'd assume "Öösoov" is literally "night wish" (in Finnish night is written as "yö") and "kummitusarmastuse" is "ghost love" because word "kummitus" in Finnish mean ghost. And the "partituur" is supposed to be score in music, similar to Finnish "partituuri". I think that might be translation error, though. The word "partituuri" in Finnish means the music sheets for an orchestra which I think is called "sheet music" or orchestra arrangement in English. The "score" in GLS has meaning of "musical piece" instead of "sheet music".
In english it is "musical score". In the narrower sense, music is a detailed writing of the parts of all musical instruments in a musical work on superimposed sheet music. Score is one of the schemes of a musical structure. But eventually, if we could catch Tuomas and ask him, even then I doubt he will tell us the full idea behind that title. 😅
@@rpgp6065 I have understood that Tuomas doesn't want to explain titles nor the lyrics. He has one idea that he originally thought but his thinking seems to be that there are no wrong interpretations because everybody feels the music a bit different. He didn't even want to explain the repetation marks in the middle of "Human :||: Nature". My guess is that's meant to be read as "human, human nature, nature" but I don't expect to ever hear the official explanation.
hello from the Netherlands . watch the Nightwish Documentary "please learn the setlist in 48 hours" with your wife so that she also knows the background of Nightwish and Floor Jansen. thanks for the video . Sincerely, Hollandduck
I needed this after trying to listen to the classical lady that literally has listened to practically nothing but classical her entire life. That reaction was so painful to watch.
Lol for the 'Estonian' language distraction (Estonian is one of two other languages that share linguistic roots with Finnish.... well, there might be a couple more near-dead languages, but get you the drift.... if RPG used Finnish, you would have seen thru the deception immediately.) Great serendipitous exposure of your better half to NW. ... this rabbit hole is getting mighty crowded!
I think because of guys and ladies, like you, are making the band more and more popular here in the US. When they were touring here in the US not too long ago, they performed in front of Sold Out shows everywhere! I have sent a bunch of emails to Circuit of the America's race track to try to get the to book Nightwish for the Formula 1 Race here in Austin, Texas! They sell out every single year, close to 120,000 people are in the stands, and even more fill up the hills surrounding the course..like General Admission. There is also 2 NASCAR Races and MotoG motorcycle racing at COTA. The NASCAR races also had huge crowds for both races.
I consider myself fortunate that I got to see Floor perform with Nightwish back in October 2012, she had only been with the band for two weeks, replacing the last singer that got kicked out mid tour. The day I got the tickets in the mail was the day the split was announced, but I was so excited to see Floor, since I was familiar with her earlier work in After Forever. Ghost Love Score hadn't been performed live since 2009, but since Floor knew the song they added it back to the set and I got to hear only the fourth time she'd ever done it in front of an audience. Had no idea I was witnessing musical history at the time, I just knew it was incredible. The way she works a crowd is just amazing, I have loved all of the singers of Nightwish but she is by far my favorite (with Marco being a very close second)
Good to have you back Jim. A note: although the band is Finnish, their 3rd vocalist is not. Floor is Dutch (is married to Hannes van Dahl, drummer of Sabaton) and live in Sweden (when not on tour) together with their 5yo daughter Freja.
Wow nice to se you again Jim, you should definitely do some more reactions together with the lady there. Storytime, Everdream, Romanticide and so on... Dead boys poem....
Fun fact: Estonian and Finnish are closely related. There are various minority languages around Finland. The next related language is Hungarian. Both come from the Urals, are not related to the other languages in Europe and are correspondingly difficult for Europeans to learn. Even after 10 years, Floor only masters the basics. But it is sufficient for the usual interview. She lives in Sweden and her swedish is probably much better because swedish and dutch are related.
Yep. You did your homework. Though I also read that some characteristics of Uralic spread over the Nordic arenas giving a uniqueness to the germanics that also incorporated it into what developed as Russ, along with its variants.
Lets not forget that she is MARRIED to the drummer in Sabaton!! It blew my mind. Nightwish is where it all started for me when it comes to metal. Mostly because of the softness of it and musical numbers that are epic and then later I could go on to listen to more heavy stuff. Yeah, Nightwish can be heavy too, but not in that way. I hated Growling as a child, now I can handle it and can listen to other bands. But later on in my teens I were introduced to Sabaton, my bestfriend at the time brought me to their concert in this tiny concert area in 2012 and I have loved them ever since. Then I figured out that Floor and Hannes were married and I just love that crossover. WOULD LOVE for them to actually tour together or something. Sabaton did play WITH Apocalyptica and Amaranthe one time and I just ... wow.
Hungarian is not exactly "next related" European language. They are most numeorus in this language family. There are Finno-Ugric nations living in European part of Russian Federation whose language is much more closely related to Finnish and Estonian. Saami, Karelians, Veps, Izhorians and Votes living closer, but there are also Mordvian, Mari, Komi, Udmurt, Khanty and Mansi people who speak related languages.
@@freyatilly I don't know and I can't imagine that Finnish had a significant influence on the other languages. The Finns were not conquerors and did not culturally shape their neighbors. The Finns are not a role model.
Thanks for the good music from Wacken W:O.A= Wacken open Air 2013 and Nightwish with singer Floor Jansen for 82.000 Metalfans. One of the best songs live all time! Wacken is near Hamburg/Germany. And 2022 (4.-6.August) W:O:A total sold out. And 2023 sold out!
And again 2souls ( one allready) are taken by our Dutch Valkyrie Goddes of Metal , more Floor Jansen, watch the Beste Zangers 2019,she sings in different styles and different languages, she sings O Mio Babbino Caro and from the gamecube game Final Fantasy Chronicals, Sound of the Wind. She is working on different projects of Ayreon too, Valley of the Queens and The Day The World Break Down are good ones to start with...
Pretty cool that such an old performance is still in high demand. Floor's voice has changed a lot since then. Getting older is such a curse to all singers. But she still sounds pretty good. Thay are a great band.
Nope, watched and listened to so many times, not only for `Floor and Nightwish' but also for the surprised and/or first reactions of the commentator. I watch and enjoy it time and time again with a huge smile on my face...I can't get enough of that!...That's my sin...lol!
oh yeah, floorgasm's for everyone courtesy of our 6' 174 pound dutch valkyrie queen floor jansen, sweet reaction for not pausing the video every 2 minutes like some do, guys go on and complete the nightwish holy trinity, ghost love score done! now the poet and the pendulem live at wembly a 5 part masterpiece on the pain of dismissing the original lead singer tarja turenen caution parts 3 and 5 often bring tears thats a cleansing floorgasm its best to not resist then the greatest show on earth live at tampere or with richard dawkins live at wembly nightwish is the shit and america specially cali needs a big ol wiff, my dream is NW plays the coachella open air festival cuz NW in the cali desert nightsky with our weed=the best night ever heck i'd kick paris hilton's butt out the way to get upfront, romanticide, everdream, sleeping sun kickass as well, enjoy your nightwish journey!
welcome to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band, their live performances are some of the things that come so close to epic that they get to be mythical and of course Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive). this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream" this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
The song ever dream was what made me fall in love with the band. Amaranth was my ex girlfriend ring tone. End of all hope is also a good one. The genre I haven't seen anyone react to is which house blvck ceiling or clepsydra.
Are you ready for a double reaction of the same song in two versions? Winds of Transylvania in a live version th-cam.com/video/aIuR_-uADSc/w-d-xo.html and a music video version th-cam.com/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/w-d-xo.html
This clip was from a German festival, they played the same piece in Tampere, Finland year earlier for rehearsal, and the final was in London Wembley music arena. The show of all times...and imagine: Mr. Richard Dawkins was there to end the show with his words. That is really something to see!!!
BTW, Floor stands 6 feet, 1.5 inches tall in bare feet; so she's wearing 5 inch heels here......audience was an intimate little gathering of 82,000.......Nightwish Army, South Carolina, USA......enter "Showtime, Storytime" into the TH-cam search, and you'll find this entire show.....
Europe is the WEST. The WEST is not just America. Love that your reaction, not too much talking which Americans or Canadians tend to do TOO much of in reactions beyond the required terms of YT. Thank you. : )
Every time I heart Ghost Love Score and Floor does her thing, I always get tears in my eyes, and Ive listened to this song 100's of times Edit: They were in Denver, where I live, I bought tickets, was excited AF bc it was going to be the 1st time I would see them live...boom, one week before the concert I got the rona!! I couldnt go, felt like sht, and didnt want to spread it either...Im hoping they come thru again in 23 Edit: In Europe shes known as the Metal Queen!!!
Nightwish Army here and just want to say there's nothing like watching a newbee see this for a 1st time , always makes my day . I would love seeing her watching Storytime also

So then there is yet another reason to watch the race. Thanks for the info
And they specifically adapted the anthem to "utilize" her exceptional range. It was a unique version.

Not only is this song one of the most popular, this particular live performance probably tops them all.
I almost teared up when I saw you had an emotional feeling towards the end. This never gets old, can't wait for December to finally see them live after postponed twice.
I almost always got attacked by the onion ninjas when hearing this... they visited again...
I was there in Wacken when it was recorded. With one of my best friends, who isn't around anymore so I get teary everytime listening to it
I've forgotten how many times I've watched this video since 2013. I try to watch it with newbie uploaders who haven't watched it. Always a treat to see their eyes bug out when Floor starts cranking up her powerful voice!
Hard to explain what this song does to me. My first Nightwish, I still listen all the time. Emotionally kills me. Probably heard it 1000 times, still not enough. An immediate addiction. The trapdoor of the most fantastic rabbit hole you will experience.
Having seen a lot of these Ghost Love Score reactions, I thought I'd try to watch them all. Then Google told me there were over 1500! Think that says it all about this Band, this Singer, this Song and this Performance. AND this devoted audience.
Congratulations with your excellent channel Jim!
....Watched your very first reaction and almost all your reactions to Symphonic Metal.
Best wishes from Namibia

Absolutely!!!! Love watching new people being exposed to Nightwish! I think we all would love to follow her adventure down the rabbit hole!!!
one of the greatest vocal performances ever.
Yes, the best vocalist that I have had the great pleasure to listen to (and watch) during my 55 years here on Earth 🙏😊👍😍
@@PaulOutdoors i agree .....and seeing her is just unexplainable how good she is i try and tell people but i just cant.
Loved how you were sucked in. Nightwish is always worth another listen. Nice!

Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she
got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power
of her vocals.
We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard.
ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!
The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready!

ALL HAIL, OUR MIGHTY GODDESS!!
The quality of the recording is so amazing for a live show.
My first NW was Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere) via another reactor... Then down the rabbit hole I went.
Still one of their best performances ever.
Thank you for reacting again to Nightwish.
I love it that a reactor likes Nightwish and BTS. I like them both.
Going to see Nightwish in november again.
Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘💪🇳🇱🌷🤗
Nightwish Army here, just popped here to say, go a deep dive, I haven't watched reaction videos for awhile. But it's always good to come back to someone experiencing Nightwish. It's the best experience.
Also live they are phenomenal I've had the luck to witness all 3 vocalists in my time as a fan.
And Floor is by far the most versatile and imo the best.and I like both the others.
Floor is a sparkly gem...a truly gorgeous person inside and out, and the best voice on the planet period.
It's always funny to see and hear that people are discovering Nightwish for the first time. I've been listening to them for like 17 years and they were not new then.
I had of course seen the title before I clicked on this video, so probably that helped me with the Estonian title, but as a Dutch speaker, I noticed the last word was very similar to the Dutch word partituur, which would be score in English.
I unfortunately haven't seen Nightwish live with Floor yet, but have seen them with Tarja and Annette, and have seen Floor with After Forever, but if things go as planned, the postponed show in Dublin will allow me to finally see them in November. I definitely hope this song will be on the setlist.
I heard GLS two years ago for the first time. Since then I listened hundreds of times to the reactions. Never get enough of that. This musical artwork completely changed my musical taste. And Floor is without a doubt the best female singer of this era!
Yes Jim! Do the NW catalogue again with your wife.That would be cool to watch 🤘😆🤘
☝ I hope you already read it Jim
Good thumbnail. I got trolled into watching you react to Nightwish. :p
How did she not know?! Welp, time to go through the NW journey again as joint reactions.
Always floored again 🤪. Maybe you will also return to Epica. Still missing their epic masterpiece "Kingdom of Heaven Part 3" Omega Alive. You can blow your mind again.
The band is Finnish. Tuomas is a genius, a metal Mozart. Troy you will see sometimes is British and Floor is Dutch. It brings something new on a next level. Like in the old days when they experimented with Rock. Two songs come to mind. Nina Hagen - Naturträne live and Focus - Hocus Pocus live in the USA at the late show or something.
Tuomas is ok, not even close to a genius. It's just not that modern pop shit most people are used to. People need a proper horizon again. 200 years ago, musicians would have wiped the floor with todays musicians. And most musicians from asia wipe the floor with modern western musicians.
Floor Jansen the Queen of metal ❤️😎
I don't speak Estonian but my mother tongue is Finnish and I'd assume "Öösoov" is literally "night wish" (in Finnish night is written as "yö") and "kummitusarmastuse" is "ghost love" because word "kummitus" in Finnish mean ghost. And the "partituur" is supposed to be score in music, similar to Finnish "partituuri". I think that might be translation error, though. The word "partituuri" in Finnish means the music sheets for an orchestra which I think is called "sheet music" or orchestra arrangement in English. The "score" in GLS has meaning of "musical piece" instead of "sheet music".
In english it is "musical score". In the narrower sense, music is a detailed writing of the parts of all musical instruments in a musical work on superimposed sheet music. Score is one of the schemes of a musical structure. But eventually, if we could catch Tuomas and ask him, even then I doubt he will tell us the full idea behind that title. 😅
@@rpgp6065 I have understood that Tuomas doesn't want to explain titles nor the lyrics. He has one idea that he originally thought but his thinking seems to be that there are no wrong interpretations because everybody feels the music a bit different.
He didn't even want to explain the repetation marks in the middle of "Human :||: Nature". My guess is that's meant to be read as "human, human nature, nature" but I don't expect to ever hear the official explanation.
Nightwish strikes again !
It's great every single time!
My first time hearing it. Holy crap
I watched this whole concert and, considering Floor was relatively new, the set was pretty flawless. Fell in love with Floor straight away.
hello from the Netherlands .
watch the Nightwish Documentary "please learn the setlist in 48 hours" with your wife
so that she also knows the background of Nightwish and Floor Jansen.
thanks for the video . Sincerely, Hollandduck
I needed this after trying to listen to the classical lady that literally has listened to practically nothing but classical her entire life. That reaction was so painful to watch.
Hahahaha. It was all about her expectations. I guess you didn't forget to read her comment section too 🤣
Lol for the 'Estonian' language distraction (Estonian is one of two other languages that share linguistic roots with Finnish.... well, there might be a couple more near-dead languages, but get you the drift.... if RPG used Finnish, you would have seen thru the deception immediately.)
Great serendipitous exposure of your better half to NW.
... this rabbit hole is getting mighty crowded!
this song is another one that showcases the band and singer the raw power and talent is top notch second to none
I think because of guys and ladies, like you, are making the band more and more popular here in the US. When they were touring here in the US not too long ago, they performed in front of Sold Out shows everywhere!
I have sent a bunch of emails to Circuit of the America's race track to try to get the to book Nightwish for the Formula 1 Race here in Austin, Texas! They sell out every single year, close to 120,000 people are in the stands, and even more fill up the hills surrounding the course..like General Admission. There is also 2 NASCAR Races and MotoG motorcycle racing at COTA. The NASCAR races also had huge crowds for both races.
I consider myself fortunate that I got to see Floor perform with Nightwish back in October 2012, she had only been with the band for two weeks, replacing the last singer that got kicked out mid tour. The day I got the tickets in the mail was the day the split was announced, but I was so excited to see Floor, since I was familiar with her earlier work in After Forever. Ghost Love Score hadn't been performed live since 2009, but since Floor knew the song they added it back to the set and I got to hear only the fourth time she'd ever done it in front of an audience. Had no idea I was witnessing musical history at the time, I just knew it was incredible. The way she works a crowd is just amazing, I have loved all of the singers of Nightwish but she is by far my favorite (with Marco being a very close second)
Saw recently in Minneapolis, unreal!!!
Good to have you back Jim. A note: although the band is Finnish, their 3rd vocalist is not. Floor is Dutch (is married to Hannes van Dahl, drummer of Sabaton) and live in Sweden (when not on tour) together with their 5yo daughter Freja.
Dude, THE ISLANDER is an awesome Nightwish song.
Thanks for playing this all the way through. Your partner is a stone woman, had more reaction to the vape. You though, are a Brother in Floors arms!
Wow nice to se you again Jim, you should definitely do some more reactions together with the lady there. Storytime, Everdream, Romanticide and so on... Dead boys poem....
Nightwish Army UK popping in for a Nightwish Virgin
Fun fact: Estonian and Finnish are closely related. There are various minority languages around Finland. The next related language is Hungarian. Both come from the Urals, are not related to the other languages in Europe and are correspondingly difficult for Europeans to learn. Even after 10 years, Floor only masters the basics. But it is sufficient for the usual interview. She lives in Sweden and her swedish is probably much better because swedish and dutch are related.
Yep. You did your homework. Though I also read that some characteristics of Uralic spread over the Nordic arenas giving a uniqueness to the germanics that also incorporated it into what developed as Russ, along with its variants.
Lets not forget that she is MARRIED to the drummer in Sabaton!! It blew my mind. Nightwish is where it all started for me when it comes to metal. Mostly because of the softness of it and musical numbers that are epic and then later I could go on to listen to more heavy stuff. Yeah, Nightwish can be heavy too, but not in that way. I hated Growling as a child, now I can handle it and can listen to other bands.
But later on in my teens I were introduced to Sabaton, my bestfriend at the time brought me to their concert in this tiny concert area in 2012 and I have loved them ever since.
Then I figured out that Floor and Hannes were married and I just love that crossover. WOULD LOVE for them to actually tour together or something. Sabaton did play WITH Apocalyptica and Amaranthe one time and I just ... wow.
Hungarian is not exactly "next related" European language. They are most numeorus in this language family. There are Finno-Ugric nations living in European part of Russian Federation whose language is much more closely related to Finnish and Estonian. Saami, Karelians, Veps, Izhorians and Votes living closer, but there are also Mordvian, Mari, Komi, Udmurt, Khanty and Mansi people who speak related languages.
@@rpgp6065 I wrote that there are other languages. But how many speakers are there and which ones are not threatened with extinction?
@@freyatilly I don't know and I can't imagine that Finnish had a significant influence on the other languages. The Finns were not conquerors and did not culturally shape their neighbors. The Finns are not a role model.
Check Shudder Before The Beautiful live at Wembley
:smiles: As ever, stumble across a reaction on the TH-camz ... settle in to watch ... and suddenly it is over ... already? :)
Thanks for the good music from Wacken W:O.A= Wacken open Air 2013 and Nightwish with singer Floor Jansen for 82.000 Metalfans. One of the best songs live all time! Wacken is near Hamburg/Germany. And 2022 (4.-6.August) W:O:A total sold out. And 2023 sold out!
And again 2souls ( one allready) are taken by our Dutch Valkyrie Goddes of Metal , more Floor Jansen, watch the Beste Zangers 2019,she sings in different styles and different languages, she sings O Mio Babbino Caro and from the gamecube game Final Fantasy Chronicals, Sound of the Wind. She is working on different projects of Ayreon too, Valley of the Queens and The Day The World Break Down are good ones to start with...
haha
whoever translated it into Estonian is half a season of mushrooms ahead of everybody else ;)
I managed it without mushrooms this time 😂
"Ghoom Charakhra" Nescafe basement season 5, unleashed giant of music awaits your reaction. Love from Pakistan
Pretty cool that such an old performance is still in high demand. Floor's voice has changed a lot since then. Getting older is such a curse to all singers. But she still sounds pretty good. Thay are a great band.
“ evanescence with balls” oh those were the days, Jim.
Nope, watched and listened to so many times, not only for `Floor and Nightwish' but also for the surprised and/or first reactions of the commentator. I watch and enjoy it time and time again with a huge smile on my face...I can't get enough of that!...That's my sin...lol!
It's like you were Rick-rolled, but the correct response is thank you!
oh yeah, floorgasm's for everyone courtesy of our 6' 174 pound dutch valkyrie queen floor jansen, sweet reaction for not pausing the video every 2 minutes like some do, guys go on and complete the nightwish holy trinity, ghost love score done! now the poet and the pendulem live at wembly a 5 part masterpiece on the pain of dismissing the original lead singer tarja turenen caution parts 3 and 5 often bring tears thats a cleansing floorgasm its best to not resist then the greatest show on earth live at tampere or with richard dawkins live at wembly nightwish is the shit and america specially cali needs a big ol wiff, my dream is NW plays the coachella open air festival cuz NW in the cali desert nightsky with our weed=the best night ever heck i'd kick paris hilton's butt out the way to get upfront, romanticide, everdream, sleeping sun kickass as well, enjoy your nightwish journey!
bruh did you weigh her? lol
explain " might" lol please do love watching new peoples jaws drop to the ground ..such fun lol
welcome to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band, their live performances are some of the things that come so close to epic that they get to be mythical and of course Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive).
this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream"
this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
They are all incredibly talented in Nightwish and have been making so much good music for many years.
Yes yes yes !! Try: Nightwish- song of my self ! Live at Wacken 20 13 !!! The world needs more Floor Jansen!!!
I saw them in Minneapolis in May front row, My God!!! they blew me away, she is a Valkyrie, a Siren!!!!
This is SOOoooo awesome !
It doesn't matter how many times I see this performance, or how many reactions I watch, this song gives me chills every time.
The song ever dream was what made me fall in love with the band. Amaranth was my ex girlfriend ring tone. End of all hope is also a good one. The genre I haven't seen anyone react to is which house blvck ceiling or clepsydra.
Cant wait to see them on their world tour in November 🤘🏼
So there’s an otter squad on TH-cam, and I’m not a member? I am on Twitter.
Our community is called the Otter Squad 🦦
Thanks for the reaction. An American that pronounces both Floor Jansen and Wacken correctly is very rare. Greetings from the Netherlands.🇳🇱
Thanks. Greetings from the Nightwishland a.k.a Finland 🇫🇮
I am new to your channel. I am part of the Nightwish army - lol.
Yhanks Jim!
We are here...we are everywhere...Nightwish Army
Are you ready for a double reaction of the same song in two versions? Winds of Transylvania in a live version th-cam.com/video/aIuR_-uADSc/w-d-xo.html and a music video version th-cam.com/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/w-d-xo.html
I like it too but my personal fav is The Poet and the Pendulum. I see that you reacted to it too. I'll be watching that next.
Good one.
This clip was from a German festival, they played the same piece in Tampere, Finland year earlier for rehearsal, and the final was in London Wembley music arena. The show of all times...and imagine: Mr. Richard Dawkins was there to end the show with his words. That is really something to see!!!
Nice trick 😄
BTW, Floor stands 6 feet, 1.5 inches tall in bare feet; so she's wearing 5 inch heels here......audience was an intimate little gathering of 82,000.......Nightwish Army, South Carolina, USA......enter "Showtime, Storytime" into the TH-cam search, and you'll find this entire show.....
Europe is the WEST. The WEST is not just America. Love that your reaction, not too much talking which Americans or Canadians tend to do TOO much of in reactions beyond the required terms of YT. Thank you. : )
Yeah, When your go east from Finland first comes Russia and next is USA. So USA is in east 😁😉
Every time I heart Ghost Love Score and Floor does her thing, I always get tears in my eyes, and Ive listened to this song 100's of times
Edit: They were in Denver, where I live, I bought tickets, was excited AF bc it was going to be the 1st time I would see them live...boom, one week before the concert I got the rona!! I couldnt go, felt like sht, and didnt want to spread it either...Im hoping they come thru again in 23
Edit: In Europe shes known as the Metal Queen!!!
This is my ringtone & alarm. One of the greatest songs!
