    Her name is Floor Jansen, and she is Dutch, a 6'1" goddess of metal. The band is Finnish, and have been together since 1996, Floor is the 3rd lead singer, having replace Anette Olzon in Oct 2012, so she had only been with the band for 10 months when this was recorded. She replaced Olzon with 48 hours notice, and learned a 15 song set list. And Nailed it. She is one of the most respected singers in the world, and probably the best and most verstatile, and a truely beautiful human being inside and out.

      I don't know if Floor would have said "Hold my beer," because when Tuomas called her, she was scared. And to top it off, her burnout was not yet a month past.
      Her two biggest fears were: A) "That I would completely fuck up" (Floor Jansen, 'Please Learn the Setlist in 48 Hours'), and B) That she would not fit in with the band, because she's Dutch and a woman.
      But needless to say, the band -- all of them -- alleviated her fears, and gave her the opportunity to make these epic concerts we love so much.

    This is the performance to start with when it comes to Nightwish. I'm a huge fan. The organ thing is for looks! The vocalist is Floor Jansen, she is Dutch, the 3rd and current female lead vocalist of Nightwish, from 2012 on. Tuomas called her and asked if she would join the band mid US tour and cover for the sick vocalist. She had 48 hours to fly to Seattle and learn the set list!!!
    There rest of the band members here are Finns. They have a 6th member Troy, the multi-instrumentalist, from the UK.
    Tuomas Holopainen, keys, is the band founder in 1996, leader, mastermind, who composes, writes lyrics to and arranges vast majority of Nightwish songs. Also known as Metal Mozart.
    Bass, vocals, Marko Hietala, guitar Emppu Vuorinen, drums Jukka Nevalainen, today his friend Kai Hahto due to Jukka's insomnia.
    I happened to see Tuomas a month ago near Stockmann's. Had to say a few words and thank him for his music. I told him I will tell other fans I met him. He said OK. Afterwords I came to think about a dozen questions I should have asked him. I watch as many Nightwish reaction videos as I can. And they are many!
    Hi again, always a pleasure to watch you and your videos!

      @@WildwoodVagabond The Finnish members are from a small town in eastern Finland near the Russian border called Kitee. It makes it that more special to have so many talented musicians from such a small place, its is just a village really. The bassist and main male vocalist was replaced quite early and recently, the drummer had to step aside for having quite severe insomnia. As a result, eastern Finnish metal scene is quite active, high quality in all areas of production, as one can imagine if one of your "own" makes it big.

    Floor is a soprano, not a mezzo soprano, but a real soprano and she can. She is able to sing anything between growling and soprano inside the very same song, and loud if needed.For me there is, or have ever been so versatile woman. She may not be the very best opera singer, but she sure has one of the most versatile and powerful voices ever recorded.

    Welcome to the amazing world of Floor Jansen and the rest of Nightwish! As a 63 year old heavy metal/hard rock enthusiast from when I was an 8 year old boy back in 1965...I have listen to practically every group in this genre...and yet, I had never heard of Nightwish until a few months ago. I can tell you this, Nightwish is in its own classification...they have more talent in their band than almost any band I have ever heard! Once you listen to a Nightwish song...you can listen to it over and over again.
    Yes, Floor Jansen is classically trained...and it shows!!

    Hello @ Wildwood Vagabond ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar..
    Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in 2013 at Wacken Open Air festival, in front of a 82k+ audience.
    About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
    From what I understand, you relocated to Finland without knowing that it is the country with the most metal bands per capita in the world. Well, now you know. Welcome among us, the fans of the band! :)
    Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
    " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. 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-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
    Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
    There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
    I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
    Hope you'll continue this journey with us, so I'll drop here a list of songs with the current lineup of the band you may like:

      On the contrary, Floor fan. If there's a poppy singer in Nightwish, it's the CURRENT singer who sings everything with the same soft poppy voice. Anette was a rock singer. Yeah she has a bright voice, but voice colour doesn't make one poppy, you can definately be a rock or metal singer with bright colour voice. It's the attitude and identity, how you sing and what you sing, that identifies you with a genre.

    You've finally met the Queen! Arguably the most powerful female voice in the world. From opera to hard metal and everything in between, you're just scratching the surface of what she's capable of. And subbed for more Nightwish! Live is best - from Wacken 2013 which has ultra hi-quality recording: 1) Storytime, 2) EverDream, 3) Romanticide (harder metal but an example of her jaw-dropping 4-5 octave range at the end), 4) Song of Myself - and all the rest from the same concert is incredible. And there are great operatic vids of her like Phantom of the Opera and so so much more. Anything by Floor Jansen and Nightwish is amazing. :) Glad you've finally discovered Floor.

      Aurinkohirvi you are right. And as a #Finland focused channel, we might be interested in the ’old stuff’ with Tarja here as Tarja is somewhat of a legend in Finland. So, if I might suggest, we could add a few songs to Gabriel’s list, e.g. Phantom of the Opera, Wishmaster, Everdream (Tarja version), Nemo original video and Sleeping sun etc.

    welcome to the fantastic musical universe of nightwish band and floor jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, WARNING! this band is addictive with an ocean of emotions.
    theirs are not just songs but works of art! studio versions of their songs are good but the band are at their best live, where their performances are just magically unforgettable!
    this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" live in the 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" live in the 2015 concert in tampere - finland
    .
    from this concert (wacken 2013) i suggest you these songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream".

They had a different singer then, Tarja. Since then they have become Finlands most popular and well known band, world wide.

    The "pipes" keyboard screen was inspired by Finnish national composer Jean Sibelius's monument in Helsinki. Nightwish used to play Sibelius's "Finlandia Hymn" as an opening instrumental number on tour. Johanna Kurkela, the wife of Nightwish's keyboardist/ songwriter, is also a successful singer. Her song, "Kuolevainen" is a big favorite of mine.

    Symphonic Metal allows them to take their music in several different directions.. They have the long, epic, multipart full production style songs like this one.. They also have several of the more classic thrash heavy metal style songs, and just about everything in between.. They even have the songs with a bit of a Celtic folk rock vibe going on.. But, no matter when the style they all have those beautiful symphonic elements that make the music so rich and full sounding.. Take your choice, the Nightwish Army loves it all.

    "Who's this guy?"
    That guy is Emppu, the guitarist. When he doesn't have anything to play, he likes to wander around the stage to check up on his bandmates and hatch little practical jokes on them. Here you could see him gently touching Marko's and Tuomas's arms - Emppu is unusually touchy-feely for a Finnish male.

    The music is called symphonic metal and is very populair in Europe and South America. The band is from Finland and founded in 1996. So far the band has had 3 vocalists
    1 Tarja Turunen (Finish) pure opera voice also very good live. (until 2005)
    2 Anette Olzon (Schwedish) more pop style. fine in the studio but not good live. (until 2012)
    3 Floor Jansen* (Dutch) (current). * She is the vocalist you saw in this clip. She has a classical vocal background education and can sing any style she likes from jazz to opera high to growling low. Believe me when i tell you you have not even scratched the surface yet of what she's capable of.
    Band members
    Tuomas Holopainen (The keyboard player and creative mind behind the band. He writes about 95% of the music and lyrics)
    Marco Hietela (the viking with the long beard (Bass and vocals)
    Jukka "Julius" Nevalainen Later (2015) replaced by Kai Hahto because of health issues (The drummer)
    Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen (the hobbit like guitar player)
    Troy Donockley ( a person who did not play on this song but is a multi instrumentalist from the UK)
    The clip was shot a few months after Floor jointed the band right in the middle of their US leg of the world tour. They asked her to join after tensions between the previous (Anette) vocalist and the rest of the band had rissen so high that they fired her. With close to a year still to go to complete the tour, and their next concert planned 2 day later they, needed a replacement fast. They called Floor because she had toured with them when she was part of the support bands"After Forever" and later "Revamp" on several occasions and they were quiet impressed by her vocals (who would not be?). She only had 2 days, including a flight from the Netherlands to the US, to learn the setlist and only had one rehearsal with the band a couple of hours before her first show and nailed it. Since they were making a documentary about the world-tour a lot of what happened was recorded. The documentary is called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" (th-cam.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/w-d-xo.html )
    As a next song to take a look at i would recommend their masterpiece "The poet and the pendulum" live at Wembley. Before you take a look at it i would recommend to take a look at the backstory of this song. This will make you appreciate it much more. here is the link th-cam.com/video/gbn9GczYBkw/w-d-xo.html
    BTW that last note she just sang? Nightwish fans created a whole new word for when she does something impressive like that. We call it a Floorgasm. Welcome to the club and boy are you going to receive a lot of traffic on your channel. ;-)

      @@cancelled_user No, she wasn't. She even sang one gig after her hospital visit. Marko said in his book that she couldn't get over and forgive them that they didn't cancel the shows but instead used substitude singers on one night. Basically she "behave" herself out of the band.

    Welcome to Floor Jansen, the 6' Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. You've heard about 40% of what she can do. I've heard her sing rock, metal, classical aria, country, lullaby, smooth jazz, pop and musical. I've heard her sing in English, Dutch, German, Finnish, Spanish, Italian and Latin. I've heard her do deathgrowls and hold a D6 for 8 seconds. And I've heard her do all those things live on stage. Sure, there are singers who can do any of the things she does better than her, but there's only one who can do all of them and sound great and convincing doing it all.

    From Wiki
    "Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera." So that is the opera influence. Nightwish is in the symphonic metal genre.

    Nightwish is absolutely my favorite band!! They are very humble and there are no stars in this band. Keyboard player and songwriter Tuomas Holopainen is very intelligent and he is a musical genius. I think it reflects Finnish modesty. Music tells all powerful way. I have seen a lot of videos, interviews of them, It was not a fairy tale... All Finns should be proud of this band!
    Nightwish is not so popular in USA. The promoting international company Nuclear Blast is German. Tuomas Holopainen was an exchange student in USA and good friends there!

    btw the intermission is very relaxing and beautiful but does confuse many lol. This was their 13th song in a row - just a little break built in to the set :)

    Floor Jansen is probably one of the greatest singers in the world right now. Most opera singers can't do what she does. She can switch between head voice, chest voice, mixed voice, belt and growl within the same song. Occasionally she switches in the middle of a line. She uses all of her techniques to serve the emotional message of the song.
    There's a reason she won the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers ("Best Singers") in 2019.

    I think it was 2018 when dozens of youtubers started reacting to Nightwish and their channels blew up. That had probably something to do with how reaction channels are so popular nowadays. Ghost Love Score is Floor's signature song even though it was released eight years before she joined the band. This performance is from Wacken Open Air in Germany, the biggest metal festival in the world with daily audience of 80 000. Before this concert in 2013 most Nightwish fans were still missing the original singer Tarja who was fired from the band in 2005. Nearly every song in this gig is amazing but Love Score is where people usually start when they are introduced to the band. Nightwish is the most successful Finnish band worldwide, having sold over 9 million albums.

      I wouldn't have associated you to metal but they have wide variety of songs and the theatrical or operatic expression gives them its own flair. As you probably knew, Finland is very much rock and metal country, at least what comes to 30-60 year olds. Younger ones listen to rap and electric music and older schlager and tango.
