I think Floor would assume that you will put it some octaves lower. I know what that sentence means theoretically, but I would probably just yell and sound like a drunk idiot anyway.
Can we just appreciate the Mad Genius that is Tuomas Holopainen? Talents like him are said to be born once a century. In ancient times, he may have become a songwriter, componist or musician we remember fondly even today. Let us make sure that happens.
...i think,its not far the day when there will be a section for music lessons in school for Mr.Holopainen..so that our children and grandchildren will know..
I look at it in the way Dawkins sums it up in the end monologue. If we are lucky enough to have Tuomas Holopainen, then can you imagine the calibre of person who wasn't lucky enough to win the lottery of life?
"How does one even emotionally recover from a Nightwish concert?" ......... You can't. I was privileged enough to play the drums for a band that opened for them in Auckland, New Zealand in 2013. To this day the experience is as fresh as it was back then. I was able to recommend a few local brews to Emppu and Marco after their soundcheck and my wife had the task of guarding the toilet door for Floor as the lock was broken (Floor was eternally grateful for that). The thing made me laugh was with in about two minutes of them finishing their set Floor had traded her knee high boots for jandles. It was a hot night after all. We watched the set the played from dam as near side of stage. It was amazing. I hope to see them again back here in New Zealand.
Wow! To be in New Zealand is a privilege, I was there a long time ago, most amazing place and people but hey, you met nighwish there !!! I’d be delighted even if any of the band sent me a text message 🤣
@@bobbytidepod1690 Thanks, I was just curious because I couldn't find, and you must do something good, when you can play the opening act for Nightwish 🤘
@@allengator1914 No. It's clearly Floor Jansen on stage. Tarja was kicked out YEARS before this show. Even Floors parents were at this show. I don't think they would be, if it wasn't Floor on stage...

I completed the Trinity :) yayyy! the more I thought about this piece post edit the more things I wanted to comment on so I'll add a couple more things below. the lyrical content for this song was incredible but simultaneously educational as heck.... I found myself googling some of the phenomena/things they mentioned because not only did the song make me curious/interested it also made me care about how lucky we are to exist and be here as we are. the music itself really captured that as incredible as evolution is it's has been all about survival and sometimes survival, growth or extreme change isn't beautiful OR comfortable. let me know your thoughts on the vocal breakdown. a comment was left recently that made me consider the accessibility of the terminology I use so let me know if you'd like a break down minus any of the technical jargon. overall... wow... holy heck .... yes. incredible. hope you liked it!
Thank You a lot of the sound producing analyze, now I must learn to talk again - LOL! The "pipe" is (atleast to IMHO?) an Overton Low D whistle, and the bagpipes Irish Uilleann pipes... Tuomas has used London Philharmonic Orchestra as backtrack (f.e cello in the begnning) for his songs/ compositions??) I believe in this one too... and u are right about searching throught google to find out what does the text mean, phew!
Floors parents being at this show….How proud they must be to see the positive and joyous effect their daughter and this incredible band has on thousands of people must be almost overwhelming for them. Sensory overload… Nightwish style. The band that can call it “The Greatest Show on Earth” and deliver on all points…just and incredible adventure in songwriting and performance🤘🤘
Nobody puts on a spectacle quite like Nightwish! They are bar far better then any band at telling a story through their music and only Nightwish can make a long song end too soon. You just want their music to never end! This is such an amazing example of just how amazing this band is and why they are in my top 2 bands all time! I was hooked the first time I heard them over 20 years ago and they have never failed to impress me, in fact they have actually gotten better with every passing year! This performance is a masterclass on how it should be done! This performance brings it all! Floor and Tuomas in my opinion are the two greatest musicians on this planet today, maybe ever!
On a serious point, can we give Kai Hahto a lot of respect? The underlying drums made this entire song, and bearing in mind he only came in very recently (relative to this), replacing a man that was in this band for 20-odd years, Kai played an absolute stormer.
"how does one even emotionally recover from a Nightwish concert?" one doesn't, I was there and now 5 years later I'm still crying when watching this, and it's all very much worth it and more
@@EmanueleCorsi You could be right, although I never use the word "falsetto" (which contains the word: "false", and therefore has a negative connotation). I would say "lyrical headvoice", which is not "false" at all, if you get my drift...
@@rientsdijkstra4266 Yep I got it. I'm italian so "falsetto" is quite a normal word for me and no offense is intended 😅 I think the origin in the word stands in the fact that it's a technique requiring to change somehow your original vocal timbre, so the "false" reference...
@@EmanueleCorsi Ah, ok, I understand, thanks! I think we can say that a belted G5 is about as impressive as a D6 in lyrical headvoice / falsetto. Both are awesome! 😎🤘
Comming back and forth for watching nightwish reactions and there is still one and only one, who can describe what I feel and cannot explain, because I'm not a musician (only and programmer with math skills ;) ) to explain. Thanks a lot Julia, for your "top notch" reactions. I have to say my native tongue is German so excuse my poor English.
I started listening to Nightwish when i was 5 years old. I am 21 now and been to 2 concerts. You have no idea how much this band means to me. It saved my life so often and if this band ever stopps existing I will cry oceans.
In another TV documentary Floor breaks down in tears when she sees her parents in the documentary in the audiance at Tampere looking at Floor and her mother in tears. Floor is a beast and angel on stage but in real live very humble.
This is what Gandalf would listen to before he went to face Balrog at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. Thank you for your insightful analysis, Julia. I had fun watching your commentary and participating in the live chat 🙋
“ how does one emotionally recover from a Nightwish concert?” You don’t. You don’t even try. You count yourself blessed to have seen them (twice for me so far) and you wait for the chance to do it again!
As a noob, learning singer, this is pure freaking gold. Please more of this beautiful style of analyzing Floor's singing and Nightwish music in general. You are amazing!
I cannot properly express the feeling inn the crowd during this song. It has an indescribable sense of fellowship with the other fans, and feels like an unstoppable force.
Your insight into the actual techniques being used are amazing. There are a few folks out there who want to see some TH-camrs on Floor Finds (Floor's own channel "show"), and since she has mentioned that not enough folks break down the techniques, I threw your name in the hat, hopefully I get to see you fangirl on Floor's channel.
Drinking game! -Julia gets flustered at how easy Floor makes something sound -Julia gets chills/shivers -Julia uses her keyboard to further frustrate herself at Floor's ability. EDIT: Made it to the end!
As a music photographer I will love you forever for crediting Tina for her photo you used at the latter part of the video. Also the reaction and your insight was impeccable as always! Thank you so much.
Nightwish was the first concert I ever went to. I was 15. I've been too dozens of concerts since but nothing could ever compare to the way Nightwish made me feel. I still havent emotionally recovered.
Hey Julia, many thanks for this rich and insightful reaction. This hasn't been done on this level so far. You really set a new bar for quality vocal reactions. I can only hope you come back to Nightwish and their members again. There is still more to discover from the band itself and their solo projects. If you don't mind, a nice thing to do is a comparison (not in the sense of a competition) of "Phantom of the Opera" Floor performed together with Henk Port on Beste Zangers and the "original" Nightwish version with Tarja and Marco doing it. Personally I love both interpretations for different reasons and would be excited to hearing your thoughts on it. GreeZ from Germany
Yes, I made it to the end easy, of your 40 min. reaction, and even sometimes rewound a bit or stopped to read your remarks on top. So lets say, it took an hour of my time, or better said: it gave me an hour lifetime that was well spent. Feels even like we shared time a bit. But you did all the preparation! Thank you so very much! ❤️ PS Your technical breakdown was a bit deeper than most other vocal coaches do or dare, I think this was better: perfect.
You and The Charismatic Voice have become my favorite reactors of late. I know nothing about singing, but it's nice seeing both of you beautiful ladies geeking out over other great performers. 😊 Floor is a gooddess.
Another good one is Chase Carneson. He isn't a vocal coach, but he hears music in an amazingly different way from anyone else I have ever heard. Give him a listen as well. He has brought a lot things forward that I have never noticed/heard before.
@@OhyesIdid1 Definitely agreed there. Though I've listened to this song so many times, Chase pointed things out that I never noticed. He's done that in literally every video I've seen of his. @War624 you should check him out!
And that's how you make an amazing reaction/analyses to this masterpiece. Vocally i was so impressed by your explanation!!! Floor and Marko were superb vocally. They voices blend amazingly and Floor's stamina and endurance during the whole f******* concert....., i can't even talk about that without having goosebumps! I loved your reaction. Made me apreciate even more Floor's capabilities (i didn't know that would be possible) because a few vocal reactors usually don't do this kind of actually explain how she does vocally! and you did amazing, because that's the point, right!? I Hope Floor reaches you and thanks you for your amazing job trying to decipher her tecniques. Thank you!! And i hope you continue to React to Nightwish and show us more of your knowledge about Floor's vocals. A great song to react next is Nightwish - Your's is a empty hope, live at Wembley 2015, where Floor show us a different vocal ability, AGAIN!!!
The Wembley 2015 performance. Omg. IIII WAAAAASS THEEEEEEREEEEE 🎶 😂 The best show I've been to, and I've been to a lot. It truly was The Greatest Show on Earth.
after the "Bach/Mozart" reference he plays a tribute riff to Metallica,Enter Sandman,there were several other tributes played throughout the masterpiece by the Metal Mozart.
The musical reference part starts with African tribal drumming (right stereo track), continuing with American native singing/barking (left stereo track), then a medieval flat vocal hymn while flute doing “Dies Irae”, then comes unknown tunes of harpsichord from Renaissance era, then Petzold’s (former credited to Bach) "Minuet” from Baroque era played with fortepiano, then female vocals singing some classical song (pa-da-da-da-da...), then some claim to come American banjo music, then that guitar riff from "Enter Sandman", and finally the bassline that some say it's from "I Wish I Had An Angel" or "Symphony of Destruction".
"She's up at a G5!" and the eyeroll when back to the track may be the best moment in reaction history! I love your reactions and the input you give. Thank you.
Really enjoyed and appreciated the "taking us to school" portion. I look forward to seeing more of that! And since you asked for noting it in the comments, yes, made it through the very end.
Marco is great singer. Stunning as a Phantom, calm and subbtle in The Islander and devilish in the Devil and the deep dark ocean. He is the best change in the group ( former bassist was on first 2 cds)
@@frantaf Actually the former bass player Sami Vänskä was playing bass on the second and third album, on the first one Nightwish didn't have a bass player and Emppu was playing the bass for the record. Samppa Hirvonen was the live session bass player during that time and Marco joined the band for the fourth album.
"Floor's voice realy seems ready for anything at anytime" great comment and your right, it is. This song was the end of a 16 song set list and they all look like its the first song. The song itself is a masterpiece for sure also this show was very special one for Floor, her parents were in the audience.
How do you recover from a Nightwish show? You don’t! You relive it in your memories on a regular basis. I still get goosebumps thinking about the few shows I’ve seen
I always find it amazing at 8:30 with the line "the greatest show on earth" and they zoom on what seems to be twins, which to me is a fascinating thing in nature
Yes, and in addition to ReVamp and After Forever, Floor also growls during her guest appearance in Soilwork's Let this River Flow (Live in the heart of Helsinki 2015)
Thank you for taking so much time and putting in so much effort to do this video. I was one of the 1500+ that stayed til the end and appreciate you sharing you knowledge with us.
This song brings me to tears every single time. One of the greatest songs ever regardless of your preference of genre imo. Having the lyrics up is mandatory for this, it's such a deep song. So fantastic!
That Bach' minuet is part of the musical evolution to represent the human civilization development. Bach's minuet, banjo bluegrass, Metallica's Enter Sandman on electric guitar, than techno music.
The references start with the tribal drums. The fluets before the minuet are reference to Dies Irae, Day of Wrath - A Chant from the Traditional Latin Requiem Mass. After the minuet there is also another reference to Bach the infamous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, then Sandman etc. Thought I would add something to the reference list, altough I am sure there are number of gems hidden in the piece. :)
Just a bit on you as a reactor. I’ve seen many, from the lay-person/fan to “vocal coaches” respond to this exact performance and most have been glowingly positive. That said, you are exquisite to experience. Zero jealousy which displays your self assurance and makes the compassion that you display actually worth witnessing and probably genuine. An absolutely lovely compassionate countenance coupled with obvious expertise. You do not need to be emotionally broken by a performance to have genuine pleasure light up across your face and offer us worthwhile insight as to the impressive gymnastics and athletics provided here. You are well worth the time and attention, so please never feel too long winded as you are an equal pleasure to experience alongside this band of humans from another planet 😁. You and Chase Carneson are both exquisite and I thank you.
I would put Elizabeth of The Charismatic Voice right up there with both Chase and Julia for explaining in a beautiful, intelligent and constructive way what is happening in the music and vocals. 🤘
This is the BEST reaction/analysis from I've seen from a vocal coach. Really appreciate you taking the time to analyze technics details of the performance, that makes all the difference. Even Floor mentioned in a recent insta live she has not seen many reactions that go into the technical part of producing the sound she chooses for each section.
Daaaang. That was a great video. I found your breakdown at the end exceptionally informative and helpful. As an utter layman in terms of music theory and vocal technique, I appreciate you taking the time to explain the vocal mechanics and the sorcery of performance art. Thank you so much for this incisive analysis (and for your emotional impressions). You nailed it. Also, tell Caption Julia hi for me and that I love her. She deserves a little appreciation as well. Thank you. Seriously.
@@allengator1914 They've done a lot of Tampere gigs over 23 years, including all three singers. I'm sure there are bootlegs of all of them. So your DVD will be right if its a gig from more than 15 years ago. If it's more recent that then it's labelled incorrectly.
you should watch the reaction to this song of Chase Carneson, though while you have been concentrated on the vocalization more, he was after the music and what was going on and during watching your vid the idea of a collaboration came to my mind, that would be so awesome, both of you professionals in your fields, both super likable and respectful in commenting, and i could imagine there would be so much synergy effects
Sounds fun. It'd probably be two hours long but it'd certainly be interesting having two different people reacting to the same thing and discussing it.
I love watching reaction videos because I ttuly enjoy seeing people fall in love with the music I love so much, but I hold a special appreciation for when experts (musicians, teachers, singers/vocal coaches, etc) not only react but lend their expertise to it. I'm a drummer of over 30 years, I'm not a singer and I never will be, but I love listening and hearing about the techniques used by these vocalists. It's fascinating. I have to say, your videos have been some of my absolute favorites because you combine your emotional responses with true knowledge and expert articulation. Some go so overboard with the "OMG THE FEELS" or just ramble buzzwords without actually analyzing or explaining anything. You portray very real reactions with actual analysis and meaningful commentary, and I commend you for it. No sensationalism, no overdone craziness or false pretentiousness, just pure you and your knowledge. Keep it up, I love what you put out there. Fantastic work. 🤘
What complete band . All the members are absolutely brilliant . I can't get over the singing it is so powerful and so precise but one thing that really impresses me is the drumming it's like a machine gun ,gets me every time and the woodwind section haunting and beautiful. I followed YES most of my life now in my 60s and night wish have taken it to a another level I'm so glad I stumbled upon them.
I was with you till the end 🤘 so Perfect done 🤘🤘🤘 try everdream its so touching this song. I am looking forward to it. And your chattery is adorable 😂😂😂
Thank you so much. This was really interesting and lovely to watch. The "we were here!" part always wrecks me too. It is such a powerful message that that moment transports... ah instant goosebumps just thinking about it! When I first heard this song I thought it was fascinating but for some reason didn't completely catch me. Sometime later I saw this Tampere performance and it completely captivated me from start to finish. Outstandingly well done by all of Nightwish and the effect team but yeah Floor... that Valkyrie of music is just so damn good with everything.
"We were here" is also there as a chorus in Alpenglow. That was half an hour earlier, but it still will help the audience picking up this chorus faster, even the ones that did not hear either song before the concert. Sometimes Tuomas is a sneaky bastard, in a good way. I don't think I have ever seen anybody else using this trick to engage the audience. And having your audience chanting "we were here" to you? Sneaky again. That will make them feeling even more satisfied that were actually there. I am sure Tuomas never thought about these psychological tricks when writing this piece. (not)
You've mentioned Floor's incredible endurance. Just to make it more absurd, this was the last song of a 2-hour performance. The classic recording of Ghost Love Score from Waken 2013 comes after over an hour of that show. Just singing in church wears my voice out. Professional singers leave me in awe.
One of the reasons why this was so emotional for Floor was the fact that her parents were attending this show in Tampere.There is an interview with them before the show for a Dutch program as well as with Marko and Tuomas.
Great reaction Julia! I love how you go into detail to explain to us what is actually happening in something we all have watched a million times. You are an amazing content creator, keep up the good work 😁
the immense greatness of the performance added to your great reaction forced me to watch the video twice 🤩 another emotion-filled nightwish song, always beautifully sung by flor, is "dead boy's poem", in the performance of the 2018 concert in buenos aires.
That closing chorus - WE WERE HERE! Screaming at the uncaring infinity, no matter what happens and where each of us ends up, right here and right now - WE WERE HERE! It matters, we matter, and nothing will ever change that. So whenever you're feeling low, when life's trials have you down, come scream at the cosmos with us!
I live a mile away from the stadium this was filmed at, whenever I see it I remember that ”we were here” and it makes me so sad. Especially since Marco has leff the band and the band stopped touring. There’s nothing left of that magical night in there, only videos on TH-cam.
Great reaction. Very educational. I subscribe to Floor’s channel as well. She was asked if she watches reaction videos. She said she doesn’t usually because the reactions aren’t informative or helpful for aspiring singers to learn from. I believe she would appreciate your reaction. Cheers. Well done.
Masterful and informative reaction and believe me I happily stayed to the end. I also appreciate that you gave yourself the space to actually enjoy the dang performance :)
I never watch videos this long but your knowledge and great (and yet adorable) way to speak and live music made it so easy that I just want to watch this over again!
Just found you today. Love your show. I was a trained vocalist (do we ever stop?)... and this woman blows me away with all the things you point out. I REALLY appreciate your informed comments that are often playing in my own head as I listen to this amazing band. My son introduced me to Nightwish, just as I introduced him to Jusie Bjorling.... I used to take him and a car load of his friends on musical rides in my cool convertible. Those boys have amazing musical taste to this day - far beyond their cohorts. Some days that makes me feel like my work here is done. Can you appreciate that?
19:53 ...ans still looking cute.. ..Seriuosly... THIS dear Julia... makes YOU stand out from the lot... HONESTY.. As a Nightwish fan I salute you, my good lady.. you are true, you are honest, you don't sweet-talk..
The animal-like growls is mostly Marco, but Floor and Troy usually add backing vocals too :) And yeah it was cool to see you catch the little Bach tribute! But not just that - Tuomas uses that whole instrumental section (mins 14 to 15 approx) to tell the story of music evolution: hidden behind the keyboard melody and the riffs, you can hear short fragments of different types of music throughout History: from tribal instruments to Gregorian to medieval to Bach to Metallica and lastly to electronic beats, all that in under a minute, and without losing the conducting melody. If that's not called art, I don't know what is :D PS: I stayed till the very end :D
Thank you. I've seen a few of these reaction format videos and I've got to say yours has to be the best. I'd imagine putting your extra comments in the corner must be pain during editing but it makes your videos flow so much better; worth the effort. Well done being so informative yet so unintrusive. As for the song, incredible, it stirs uncontrolled emotion ......and I'm a grown arse man.
I did... Make it to the end. I usually don't. Superb video. Analysis and explanation are very clear even for me. I've seen a few reactions, but this one deffo tops the list. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌷 Nightwish doesn't need my opinion. They speak for themselves. We just have to enjoy it like you would enjoy or experience a painting from the old masters. 🤷
Well spent forty minutes, it was almost as fast as the twenty minutes when I watched the Greatest Show on Earth for the first time. Thanks for great commentary and a free lesson!
Thoroughly enjoying to watch you react and loving this inparallell performance, as much as I do. And, your extensive and excellent analysis afterwards. Thanks a lot!
Marco adds so much to this performance ! I would love to see your reaction of another Finnish band called Wintersun - "Sons of Winter and Stars" or "Time" (both songs live at Sonic Pump Studios), they're a fantastic band with some really epic music, Jari is a great composer and an awesome singer as well
Also, how about that Marko slaying the harmonies on the ”man, he took his time in the sun..” etc. I love love love that bit and how they sound together on this one!
Wow. I have watched this from Tampere, and listened to this track so many times, daily if I'm honest. This is the most amazing musical arrangement I have ever heard. I would like to echo DGARedRaven, if Tuomas Holopainan had been around centuries past, we would still be listening to his works now. Celebrate the amazing works, enjoy, because there will not be the same like for some years to come.
Helou Julia =) I have to say you are remarkable what comes to reacting on these videos on your channel. You give your honest opinnions every single time, and with open heart!! I have watched every nightwish reaction video, and some others and it is pure joy. I am from Finland, and because of you reacting on nightwish , I have found beauty and many more layers in the songs. Thank you
Julia, yes I watched it til the end :-) Thank you so much for putting so much effort in this reaction; I learned so much more about the vocal techniques Floor is using and the way you describe it is informative, funny and entertaining. There have been recently some really good reactions to The Greatest Show on Earth, but I was esp waiting for yours and you did not dissappoint. Absolutley brilliant. We will try to sneak another Floor song in your next voting game. 💖💥💥😂😂
Julia, thanks for your open mind, your "from the heart" reactions, so pure, hard to see these days, yet, you, bright redhead, stand out!!! You actually know what you are talking about, instead of just pasting the "Vocal coach" thingy,............. heck !!!! Arjan Lucassen commented on YOUR reaction to Areyon !!! Holy... ( you fill in the dots, and curse hahhaha) ... I salute you, my good lady, and hope to see some more "you being surprised at what Floor Vocally does" like when she did the "We where here.." and you recapped and keyboerd and sang.. THAT !!! That is what makes your reaction stand out... and I thank you once again for being serious, not just listening, sayin...yeah great..and on... Lots of love and warmth from The Netherlands !!!!!!

I think Floor would assume that you will put it some octaves lower. I know what that sentence means theoretically, but I would probably just yell and sound like a drunk idiot anyway.
Can we just appreciate the Mad Genius that is Tuomas Holopainen?
Talents like him are said to be born once a century. In ancient times, he may have become a songwriter, componist or musician we remember fondly even today.
Let us make sure that happens.
Let's make sure this comment gets a million likes and more. Tuomas Holopainen truly is a musical and poetic genius.
...i think,its not far the day when there will be a section for music lessons in school for Mr.Holopainen..so that our children and grandchildren will know..
Respect!
Bach was in the 17th century, Mozart even later. What more have we to expect from Tuomas? What will he be remembred?
I look at it in the way Dawkins sums it up in the end monologue.
If we are lucky enough to have Tuomas Holopainen, then can you imagine the calibre of person who wasn't lucky enough to win the lottery of life?
Nightwish... the only band that makes a 21 minute song that leaves you wanting more at the end
Check out parts 1-3 of Painters of the Tempest by Ne Obliviscaris dude. 22 minutes of incredible folk influenced progressive metal
The Odyssey - Symphony X and The Great Escape - Seventh Wonder as well :p
Unleash the Archers make a 7 minute Awakening seem like the prelude. It's like time both pauses and accelerates when you get lost in music like this
Check out mago de oz la cantada del diablo

I found myself googling some of the phenomena/things they mentioned because not only did the song make me curious/interested it also made me care about how lucky we are to exist and be here as we are. the music itself really captured that as incredible as evolution is it's has been all about survival and sometimes survival, growth or extreme change isn't beautiful OR comfortable.
let me know your thoughts on the vocal breakdown. a comment was left recently that made me consider the accessibility of the terminology I use so let me know if you'd like a break down minus any of the technical jargon.

hope you liked it!
I loved it! Cheers from the US 😁

@@ingobordewick6480 You were on Wacken 2013??? You really were? You really were there?
Damn ... how lucky you are ... :)
She's my favorite female singer for almost 20 years . She can do everything with her voice . What pleasure to listen
Most sing what they can, but Floor sings what she wants 🤷🏼♂️
Mine too. Best I've ever heard
38:44: "... If you are still here ..."
Me: WEEEE WERE HEEEERE!!!!
Yeahhh! Great comment! :)
i use to live about 300 meters away in front of that stage and just open my window and hear many great gigs in that stadium, including this one
Julia: Excuse me? Where is that?
Floor: It's a simple G5 made in the final act of a 21 minute song, at the end of the show.
well, she does a beautifull well sustained D6 for 8 seconds in the Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort...
@@rientsdijkstra4266 but I believe that D6 is falsetto, while this G5 is not...
@@EmanueleCorsi You could be right, although I never use the word "falsetto" (which contains the word: "false", and therefore has a negative connotation). I would say "lyrical headvoice", which is not "false" at all, if you get my drift...
@@rientsdijkstra4266 Yep I got it. I'm italian so "falsetto" is quite a normal word for me and no offense is intended 😅 I think the origin in the word stands in the fact that it's a technique requiring to change somehow your original vocal timbre, so the "false" reference...
@@EmanueleCorsi Ah, ok, I understand, thanks! I think we can say that a belted G5 is about as impressive as a D6 in lyrical headvoice / falsetto. Both are awesome! 😎🤘
👏👏👏 Very nice work Julia. Keep 'em coming.
thanks! I saw my live chat getting excited that you were there too!
@@jvoxfox Wouldn't miss it, enjoyed every minute and looking forward to more. Maybe a collab at some point?
@@ChaseCarneson glad you enjoyed it! collab sounds fun too
Oh yes, my two favourite NW "reactors" SHOULD indeed collaborate 😍
Shoemaker would take your breath away 😉
You two are Amazing! I love watching your reactions and learning more about the mechanics of why I am instinctively moved by Nightwish.
Julia: 19:42 "Excuse me!!!??? Where is that???"
Me: Best indignation + fangirling moment ever!
I thought Julia was just going to end it at " I'm going to break down." and not continue..."the technique". :)
@@sket179 me too - I was expecting "I am going to break down if she belts any higher than that"
Just as her reaction to Poet and the Pendulum at 3:30 😀
This whole reaction itself is like a journey. It didn't feel like 39,5 minutes at all. Awesome reaction. You are awesome Julia.
Comming back and forth for watching nightwish reactions and there is still one and only one, who can describe what I feel and cannot explain, because I'm not a musician (only and programmer with math skills ;) ) to explain. Thanks a lot Julia, for your "top notch" reactions. I have to say my native tongue is German so excuse my poor English.
I started listening to Nightwish when i was 5 years old. I am 21 now and been to 2 concerts. You have no idea how much this band means to me. It saved my life so often and if this band ever stopps existing I will cry oceans.
Floor's parents were present during this concert. At the end she gets emotional. 💕
That made me tear up.
In another TV documentary Floor breaks down in tears when she sees her parents in the documentary in the audiance at Tampere looking at Floor and her mother in tears. Floor is a beast and angel on stage but in real live very humble.
Here's the video, have fun: th-cam.com/video/OUIU0o5A48I/w-d-xo.html
@@maneskin8097 When I saw Floor tear up in that documentary, I lost my shit completely. That was the rock academy reunion one.
This is what Gandalf would listen to before he went to face Balrog at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. Thank you for your insightful analysis, Julia. I had fun watching your commentary and participating in the live chat 🙋
Had to leave the chat early for work 😅
Never heard of Rhapsody of Fire, right?
@@luisnunes2010 of course I have and not a fan.
What, Gandalf the grey before he returned as Marco the white?
@@phillee2814 😂 good one
“ how does one emotionally recover from a Nightwish concert?” You don’t. You don’t even try. You count yourself blessed to have seen them (twice for me so far) and you wait for the chance to do it again!
Adorable! LOVE Nightwish!
Theres vocalists singers then theres FLOOR this woman is in a league of her own!!
yes, we were here until the end 😄 and with a tear in the eye
Yes we did and yes we are.
and with a happy heart 🤘👍
As a noob, learning singer, this is pure freaking gold. Please more of this beautiful style of analyzing Floor's singing and Nightwish music in general. You are amazing!
Talking about vocal stamina. This was the last song of the set, the previous song to this was Ghost Love Score! Another vocal beast.
I swear I've seen this performance about 20 times and goosebumps still come just as prevalent as the first.
absolute TRUTH!
True still
I cannot properly express the feeling inn the crowd during this song. It has an indescribable sense of fellowship with the other fans, and feels like an unstoppable force.
And yes I watched to the end
Your insight into the actual techniques being used are amazing. There are a few folks out there who want to see some TH-camrs on Floor Finds (Floor's own channel "show"), and since she has mentioned that not enough folks break down the techniques, I threw your name in the hat, hopefully I get to see you fangirl on Floor's channel.
Drinking game!
-Julia gets flustered at how easy Floor makes something sound
-Julia gets chills/shivers
-Julia uses her keyboard to further frustrate herself at Floor's ability.
EDIT: Made it to the end!
Sorry I’m wasted, what were you saying?
@@Sneaky5o7 QED :-)
Every single second was worth it. Thanks for this, Julia. You are the best!!!
As a music photographer I will love you forever for crediting Tina for her photo you used at the latter part of the video. Also the reaction and your insight was impeccable as always! Thank you so much.
Nightwish was the first concert I ever went to. I was 15. I've been too dozens of concerts since but nothing could ever compare to the way Nightwish made me feel. I still havent emotionally recovered.
The way Floor keeps that big smile while she's singing is just **Heart Eyes**
Thank you, Julia. Thank you, Nightwish ♥️
Thank you Floor Jansen ❤
Hey Julia,
many thanks for this rich and insightful reaction. This hasn't been done on this level so far. You really set a new bar for quality vocal reactions.
I can only hope you come back to Nightwish and their members again. There is still more to discover from the band itself and their solo projects. If you don't mind, a nice thing to do is a comparison (not in the sense of a competition) of "Phantom of the Opera" Floor performed together with Henk Port on Beste Zangers and the "original" Nightwish version with Tarja and Marco doing it. Personally I love both interpretations for different reasons and would be excited to hearing your thoughts on it.
GreeZ from Germany
these are both great renditions for very differnt reasons!
Julia listening to The Poet and the Pendelum: This is a long song!
The Greatest Show on Earth: hold my axe
Yes, I made it to the end easy, of your 40 min. reaction, and even sometimes rewound a bit or stopped to read your remarks on top. So lets say, it took an hour of my time, or better said: it gave me an hour lifetime that was well spent. Feels even like we shared time a bit. But you did all the preparation! Thank you so very much! ❤️
PS Your technical breakdown was a bit deeper than most other vocal coaches do or dare, I think this was better: perfect.
You and The Charismatic Voice have become my favorite reactors of late. I know nothing about singing, but it's nice seeing both of you beautiful ladies geeking out over other great performers. 😊 Floor is a gooddess.
Same here. There's a real vocal coach feel to them with minimal gimmicks.
Another good one is Chase Carneson. He isn't a vocal coach, but he hears music in an amazingly different way from anyone else I have ever heard. Give him a listen as well. He has brought a lot things forward that I have never noticed/heard before.
@@OhyesIdid1 Definitely agreed there. Though I've listened to this song so many times, Chase pointed things out that I never noticed. He's done that in literally every video I've seen of his. @War624 you should check him out!
@@JGMeador444 he has an amazing ear.
@@TheSeeking2know Very well said, mate.
And that's how you make an amazing reaction/analyses to this masterpiece. Vocally i was so impressed by your explanation!!! Floor and Marko were superb vocally. They voices blend amazingly and Floor's stamina and endurance during the whole f******* concert....., i can't even talk about that without having goosebumps! I loved your reaction. Made me apreciate even more Floor's capabilities (i didn't know that would be possible) because a few vocal reactors usually don't do this kind of actually explain how she does vocally! and you did amazing, because that's the point, right!? I Hope Floor reaches you and thanks you for your amazing job trying to decipher her tecniques. Thank you!! And i hope you continue to React to Nightwish and show us more of your knowledge about Floor's vocals. A great song to react next is Nightwish - Your's is a empty hope, live at Wembley 2015, where Floor show us a different vocal ability, AGAIN!!!
The Wembley 2015 performance. Omg.
IIII WAAAAASS THEEEEEEREEEEE 🎶 😂
The best show I've been to, and I've been to a lot.
It truly was The Greatest Show on Earth.
after the "Bach/Mozart" reference he plays a tribute riff to Metallica,Enter Sandman,there were several other tributes played throughout the masterpiece by the Metal Mozart.
there's some "ebm" thing also going on there for a second that could be a reference to Mason Bates "Mothership"
And there's an electronic beat right after it
there's also seems to be a reference to Megadeth - Symphony of destruction in here as well...
darude - sandstorm
gotta be
The musical reference part starts with African tribal drumming (right stereo track), continuing with American native singing/barking (left stereo track), then a medieval flat vocal hymn while flute doing “Dies Irae”, then comes unknown tunes of harpsichord from Renaissance era, then Petzold’s (former credited to Bach) "Minuet” from Baroque era played with fortepiano, then female vocals singing some classical song (pa-da-da-da-da...), then some claim to come American banjo music, then that guitar riff from "Enter Sandman", and finally the bassline that some say it's from "I Wish I Had An Angel" or "Symphony of Destruction".
Every few weeks I go on a binge watching voice coaches react to Nightwish, and when I found your stuff, it instantly climbed among my favorites
"She's up at a G5!" and the eyeroll when back to the track may be the best moment in reaction history! I love your reactions and the input you give. Thank you.
This song's end always drives me to tears, because of the beauty of the song and the past tense in the lyrics...
Yes, dozens hearing, still the same result. Still can't understand how something like this could be created a performed.
Really enjoyed and appreciated the "taking us to school" portion. I look forward to seeing more of that! And since you asked for noting it in the comments, yes, made it through the very end.
You shoud whatch "the islander" from this concert! this song performed by Marco, and his cleans are so beautifull
Eugene Art Agreed!
Yes...
Marco is great singer. Stunning as a Phantom, calm and subbtle in The Islander and devilish in the Devil and the deep dark ocean. He is the best change in the group ( former bassist was on first 2 cds)
@@frantaf Actually the former bass player Sami Vänskä was playing bass on the second and third album, on the first one Nightwish didn't have a bass player and Emppu was playing the bass for the record. Samppa Hirvonen was the live session bass player during that time and Marco joined the band for the fourth album.
@@mattitu I forgot the first one. I have Oceanborn and Wishmaster cds dont have Angels.
"Floor's voice realy seems ready for anything at anytime" great comment and your right, it is.
This song was the end of a 16 song set list and they all look like its the first song. The song itself is a masterpiece for sure also this show was very special one for Floor, her parents were in the audience.
How do you recover from a Nightwish show? You don’t! You relive it in your memories on a regular basis. I still get goosebumps thinking about the few shows I’ve seen
I always find it amazing at 8:30 with the line "the greatest show on earth" and they zoom on what seems to be twins, which to me is a fascinating thing in nature
You should see floor do the metal growl in there song yours is an empty hope just try it
Floor really growls in:
Revamp - disdain
Revamp - wildcard
Yeah, it was really deep and bassy. She did some growling in Revamp and After Forever too.
But YIAEH Wembley version.
Yes, and in addition to ReVamp and After Forever, Floor also growls during her guest appearance in Soilwork's Let this River Flow (Live in the heart of Helsinki 2015)
@@Esther-217 That's cool. I gotta check that out. Thanks for the head's up.
Thank you for taking so much time and putting in so much effort to do this video. I was one of the 1500+ that stayed til the end and appreciate you sharing you knowledge with us.
This song brings me to tears every single time. One of the greatest songs ever regardless of your preference of genre imo. Having the lyrics up is mandatory for this, it's such a deep song. So fantastic!
That Bach' minuet is part of the musical evolution to represent the human civilization development. Bach's minuet, banjo bluegrass, Metallica's Enter Sandman on electric guitar, than techno music.
The references start with the tribal drums. The fluets before the minuet are reference to Dies Irae, Day of Wrath - A Chant from the Traditional Latin Requiem Mass. After the minuet there is also another reference to Bach the infamous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, then Sandman etc. Thought I would add something to the reference list, altough I am sure there are number of gems hidden in the piece. :)
I knew i heared the riff of Enter Sandman @ some point, thx for preventing me from searching.
Just a bit on you as a reactor. I’ve seen many, from the lay-person/fan to “vocal coaches” respond to this exact performance and most have been glowingly positive. That said, you are exquisite to experience. Zero jealousy which displays your self assurance and makes the compassion that you display actually worth witnessing and probably genuine. An absolutely lovely compassionate countenance coupled with obvious expertise. You do not need to be emotionally broken by a performance to have genuine pleasure light up across your face and offer us worthwhile insight as to the impressive gymnastics and athletics provided here. You are well worth the time and attention, so please never feel too long winded as you are an equal pleasure to experience alongside this band of humans from another planet 😁. You and Chase Carneson are both exquisite and I thank you.
Could not agree more! Stay yourself, you are an EXPERT, it is a pleasure to watch, it is like a journey!
I would put Elizabeth of The Charismatic Voice right up there with both Chase and Julia for explaining in a beautiful, intelligent and constructive way what is happening in the music and vocals. 🤘
This is the BEST reaction/analysis from I've seen from a vocal coach.
Really appreciate you taking the time to analyze technics details of the performance, that makes all the difference.
Even Floor mentioned in a recent insta live she has not seen many reactions that go into the technical part of producing the sound she chooses for each section.
Yesss, we did it until the end .. . We were here!
Daaaang. That was a great video. I found your breakdown at the end exceptionally informative and helpful. As an utter layman in terms of music theory and vocal technique, I appreciate you taking the time to explain the vocal mechanics and the sorcery of performance art. Thank you so much for this incisive analysis (and for your emotional impressions). You nailed it.
Also, tell Caption Julia hi for me and that I love her. She deserves a little appreciation as well.
Thank you.
Seriously.
Caption Julia says thanks for the support and that she's glad you enjoyed the video.
23:22 I saw Nightwish live almost a decade ago and I still haven't recovered. Good luck to you.
Last time I was in Nightwish concert was when Tarja was still singing. Looking forward to see Floor singing live with Nightwish someday.
@@MikkoRantalainen yeah I saw them on the Once tour, which I just realised was a bit more than a decade ago.
Your reaction at 12:02 was freaking gold.
"Are you kidding me?! FLOOR!" and that exasperated look of how anyone can do this following.
Wonderful!
This isn't Floor singing, it's Tarja Turgensen. Nightwish went through 3 different female lead singers.
@@allengator1914 This is absolutely Floor. You need to go back and review the lead singers and their different appearances.
@@Jhaiisiin Sorry I have a bootleg DVD of the Tampere show and it lists Tarja as lead vocalist, so if it's wrong then so am I.
@@allengator1914 def your bootleg is wrong. This is why buying official merch is a good thing.
@@allengator1914 They've done a lot of Tampere gigs over 23 years, including all three singers. I'm sure there are bootlegs of all of them. So your DVD will be right if its a gig from more than 15 years ago. If it's more recent that then it's labelled incorrectly.
Stayed till the end :)
One of my favorite things about this band is how much they adore their fans, and how they interact. Marco is adorable :)
you should watch the reaction to this song of Chase Carneson, though while you have been concentrated on the vocalization more, he was after the music and what was going on
and during watching your vid the idea of a collaboration came to my mind, that would be so awesome, both of you professionals in your fields, both super likable and respectful in commenting, and i could imagine there would be so much synergy effects
Sounds fun. It'd probably be two hours long but it'd certainly be interesting having two different people reacting to the same thing and discussing it.
@@jvoxfox lol probably, but i would watch it, even if you take like mary had a little lamb as the song to react to ;P
@@torsten.breswald me2 ;)
@@jvoxfox I will watch it, two hours or not, as long as it is a Nightwish live performance.
I would like this!
I love watching reaction videos because I ttuly enjoy seeing people fall in love with the music I love so much, but I hold a special appreciation for when experts (musicians, teachers, singers/vocal coaches, etc) not only react but lend their expertise to it. I'm a drummer of over 30 years, I'm not a singer and I never will be, but I love listening and hearing about the techniques used by these vocalists. It's fascinating. I have to say, your videos have been some of my absolute favorites because you combine your emotional responses with true knowledge and expert articulation. Some go so overboard with the "OMG THE FEELS" or just ramble buzzwords without actually analyzing or explaining anything. You portray very real reactions with actual analysis and meaningful commentary, and I commend you for it. No sensationalism, no overdone craziness or false pretentiousness, just pure you and your knowledge. Keep it up, I love what you put out there. Fantastic work. 🤘
What complete band . All the members are absolutely brilliant . I can't get over the singing it is so powerful and so precise but one thing that really impresses me is the drumming it's like a machine gun ,gets me every time and the woodwind section haunting and beautiful. I followed YES most of my life now in my 60s and night wish have taken it to a another level I'm so glad I stumbled upon them.
I was with you till the end 🤘 so Perfect done 🤘🤘🤘 try everdream its so touching this song. I am looking forward to it. And your chattery is adorable 😂😂😂
Thank you so much. This was really interesting and lovely to watch. The "we were here!" part always wrecks me too. It is such a powerful message that that moment transports... ah instant goosebumps just thinking about it! When I first heard this song I thought it was fascinating but for some reason didn't completely catch me. Sometime later I saw this Tampere performance and it completely captivated me from start to finish. Outstandingly well done by all of Nightwish and the effect team but yeah Floor... that Valkyrie of music is just so damn good with everything.
"We were here" is also there as a chorus in Alpenglow. That was half an hour earlier, but it still will help the audience picking up this chorus faster, even the ones that did not hear either song before the concert. Sometimes Tuomas is a sneaky bastard, in a good way. I don't think I have ever seen anybody else using this trick to engage the audience. And having your audience chanting "we were here" to you? Sneaky again. That will make them feeling even more satisfied that were actually there. I am sure Tuomas never thought about these psychological tricks when writing this piece. (not)
You've mentioned Floor's incredible endurance. Just to make it more absurd, this was the last song of a 2-hour performance. The classic recording of Ghost Love Score from Waken 2013 comes after over an hour of that show.
Just singing in church wears my voice out. Professional singers leave me in awe.
One of the reasons why this was so emotional for Floor was the fact that her parents were attending this show in Tampere.There is an interview with them before the show for a Dutch program as well as with Marko and Tuomas.
You did an exceptional review on this Julia. Thank you!
Great reaction Julia! I love how you go into detail to explain to us what is actually happening in something we all have watched a million times. You are an amazing content creator, keep up the good work 😁
Yes, I saw it through the end. Thanks, Julia, for this wonderful reaction.
the immense greatness of the performance added to your great reaction forced me to watch the video twice 🤩
another emotion-filled nightwish song, always beautifully sung by flor, is "dead boy's poem", in the performance of the 2018 concert in buenos aires.
That closing chorus - WE WERE HERE! Screaming at the uncaring infinity, no matter what happens and where each of us ends up, right here and right now - WE WERE HERE! It matters, we matter, and nothing will ever change that.
So whenever you're feeling low, when life's trials have you down, come scream at the cosmos with us!
I live a mile away from the stadium this was filmed at, whenever I see it I remember that ”we were here” and it makes me so sad. Especially since Marco has leff the band and the band stopped touring. There’s nothing left of that magical night in there, only videos on TH-cam.
Great reaction. Very educational. I subscribe to Floor’s channel as well. She was asked if she watches reaction videos. She said she doesn’t usually because the reactions aren’t informative or helpful for aspiring singers to learn from. I believe she would appreciate your reaction. Cheers. Well done.
Masterful and informative reaction and believe me I happily stayed to the end. I also appreciate that you gave yourself the space to actually enjoy the dang performance :)
I never watch videos this long but your knowledge and great (and yet adorable) way to speak and live music made it so easy that I just want to watch this over again!
Just found you today. Love your show. I was a trained vocalist (do we ever stop?)... and this woman blows me away with all the things you point out. I REALLY appreciate your informed comments that are often playing in my own head as I listen to this amazing band. My son introduced me to Nightwish, just as I introduced him to Jusie Bjorling.... I used to take him and a car load of his friends on musical rides in my cool convertible. Those boys have amazing musical taste to this day - far beyond their cohorts. Some days that makes me feel like my work here is done. Can you appreciate that?
19:53 ...ans still looking cute.. ..Seriuosly... THIS dear Julia... makes YOU stand out from the lot... HONESTY.. As a Nightwish fan I salute you, my good lady.. you are true, you are honest, you don't sweet-talk..
The animal-like growls is mostly Marco, but Floor and Troy usually add backing vocals too :)
And yeah it was cool to see you catch the little Bach tribute! But not just that - Tuomas uses that whole instrumental section (mins 14 to 15 approx) to tell the story of music evolution: hidden behind the keyboard melody and the riffs, you can hear short fragments of different types of music throughout History: from tribal instruments to Gregorian to medieval to Bach to Metallica and lastly to electronic beats, all that in under a minute, and without losing the conducting melody. If that's not called art, I don't know what is :D
PS: I stayed till the very end :D
Floor is aiding quite heavy on it, like she does when encouraging the viewers to join in
Thank you. I've seen a few of these reaction format videos and I've got to say yours has to be the best. I'd imagine putting your extra comments in the corner must be pain during editing but it makes your videos flow so much better; worth the effort. Well done being so informative yet so unintrusive.
As for the song, incredible, it stirs uncontrolled emotion ......and I'm a grown arse man.
Well said...
...and I hope the rest of you catches up before too long.
Julia your reaction to the composition was entertaining and the analysis afterwards was educational and informative. Well done!
I did... Make it to the end.
I usually don't.
Superb video. Analysis and explanation are very clear even for me.
I've seen a few reactions, but this one deffo tops the list.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌷
Nightwish doesn't need my opinion. They speak for themselves. We just have to enjoy it like you would enjoy or experience a painting from the old masters.
🤷
Your reactions to Nightwish songs are as super as Floor's singing ability. Thank you. 😊
You are simply the best. Love your reaction and your comments. As always!!!!
Well spent forty minutes, it was almost as fast as the twenty minutes when I watched the Greatest Show on Earth for the first time. Thanks for great commentary and a free lesson!
i watched to the end and enjoyed it thanks
Thoroughly enjoying to watch you react and loving this inparallell performance, as much as I do. And, your extensive and excellent analysis afterwards. Thanks a lot!
This seals it for me.....I'm flying half way across the country to see this band live!
Floor brings all the onions to the yard
Marco adds so much to this performance !
I would love to see your reaction of another Finnish band called Wintersun - "Sons of Winter and Stars" or "Time" (both songs live at Sonic Pump Studios), they're a fantastic band with some really epic music, Jari is a great composer and an awesome singer as well
Also, how about that Marko slaying the harmonies on the ”man, he took his time in the sun..” etc. I love love love that bit and how they sound together on this one!
Wow. I have watched this from Tampere, and listened to this track so many times, daily if I'm honest. This is the most amazing musical arrangement I have ever heard. I would like to echo DGARedRaven, if Tuomas Holopainan had been around centuries past, we would still be listening to his works now. Celebrate the amazing works, enjoy, because there will not be the same like for some years to come.
Helou Julia =)
I have to say you are remarkable what comes to reacting on these videos on your channel. You give your honest opinnions every single time, and with open heart!! I have watched every nightwish reaction video, and some others and it is pure joy.
I am from Finland, and because of you reacting on nightwish , I have found beauty and many more layers in the songs. Thank you
Ooh ooh can't wait to see your reaction! I've been waiting on this one ;) I hope you enjoyed it!
Finally someone who shares the some emotional respons to Floor's amazing, superhuman techniques! Great video!
Julia, yes I watched it til the end :-) Thank you so much for putting so much effort in this reaction; I learned so much more about the vocal techniques Floor is using and the way you describe it is informative, funny and entertaining. There have been recently some really good reactions to The Greatest Show on Earth, but I was esp waiting for yours and you did not dissappoint. Absolutley brilliant. We will try to sneak another Floor song in your next voting game. 💖💥💥😂😂
I loved your reaction Julia, you 're great, I'm 65 and love Nightwish.
Julia, thanks for your open mind, your "from the heart" reactions, so pure, hard to see these days, yet, you, bright redhead, stand out!!! You actually know what you are talking about, instead of just pasting the "Vocal coach" thingy,............. heck !!!! Arjan Lucassen commented on YOUR reaction to Areyon !!! Holy... ( you fill in the dots, and curse hahhaha) ... I salute you, my good lady, and hope to see some more "you being surprised at what Floor Vocally does" like when she did the "We where here.." and you recapped and keyboerd and sang.. THAT !!! That is what makes your reaction stand out... and I thank you once again for being serious, not just listening, sayin...yeah great..and on... Lots of love and warmth from The Netherlands !!!!!!
