even 15 years later this version is still my favorite. I like to think that without Tarja Nightwish would never have been where they are today. She put Nightwish on the map back in late 90's early 00's. i have listen to Nightwish since 1999 i have seen all changes. Tho the new songs are all increadable masterpieces in their own glory i still value the earlie songs that shaped Nightwish most.
That is correct. Without Tarja there would have never been Nightwish. Sure, Tuomas would have done something, but it was Tarja's voice what inspired him to do bigger songs. They supposed to be acoustic mood band. Then again, I believe that Tarja also inspired him to write all those incredible songs like "Ghost Love Score" and "Ever Dream", even "Nemo" and "Bye Bye Beautiful" (+many many more).
Everyone always focuses on Tarja, and the comparison to Floor etc etc. but for me the consistent performer that blows everybody away every single time is Marko. Keeping up with opera singers and hitting notes like those is NOT easy for a guy, even less so one who doesn't have a falsetto
@@Elan_B I love Floor and Marko equally. Some Floor fans are all about Floor. Floor's solo stuff is awesome, but for me she's at her best with Nightwish. I also prefer "How's the Heart" by Nightwish over the acoustic version by Floor and Troy. There's more to enjoy.
Also annoyed by all those "voice wars". Whenever some youtuber posts a "Who is the best singer? Tarja, Anette or Floor?" video I comment with "Marko." :p
Tarja and Floor sang a duet, "over the hills". It's quite nice. And the height difference... Tarja looks like a little doll next to Floor. I grew up with Tarja, haven't listened to Nightwish for years and rediscovered the band with Floor. I absolutely agree. They are both talented and passionate about what they do, they should not be compared. Especially not in a hostile way.
@@MrFrikkenfrakken your not alone i love everything they make because i know Tuomas alwayes makes music and fits it to a singers style,annette wasnt so good live but you cant say albums with her were bad most of popular songs everyone reacts today are form imaginarium so yea i love all 3 of them
@@MrFrikkenfrakken I think of Nightwish as a huge bridge between two beautiful yet very different lands, with a an island in the middle which sustains the middle pillar (is that the word?) of the bridge. Being the lands Tarja and Floor, with Anette playing the part of the island, it's easier to comprehend that without just one of them there would have been no Nightwish at all... moreover, what unites the island's and lands' people (fans) all toghether is the bridge himself so IMO loving Nightwish is crossing that bridge and appreciate all the 3 lands... Greetings from Italy! 👋🇮🇹🖖
You should react to Nightwish song Everdream, featuring Tarja & Marko, either in Lowlands or in The End of an Era Concert and then you could understand why most of the Nightwish fans love and prefer Tarja, regardless Annette or Floor. And if you didn't know in The End of An Era Concert, Tarja had been with fever and a cold. And the result is that it wasn't noticed by the people who were there in her interpretation of each song.
I love Tarja's voice! Nightwish has 9 studio albums, 5 with Tarja (first vocalist and co-founder of the band), 2 with Anette and 2 with Floor, the current singer. Most of the most beloved songs were originally recorded with Tarja. It would be nice if you checked the original versions. As a first suggestion, a reaction to "Slaying the Dreamer" or "The Siren", both recorded on the DVD "End of an Era", would be good. The differences between Tarja's belting and lyrical singing give a very beautiful color to these songs. Thank you!
or any other from this concert or "from wishes to eternity" concert, summerbreeze 2002, Raumenmeri 2003, or lowlands 2005...she is brilliant in them all
just incredible that we are still raving about this 1909 novel over 100 years later… turned into a film, musical theatre and the popular song some 77 years later. Incredible that Nightwish was able to pull this off and Marco and Tarja perform this so well to fit into the symphonic metal landscape
Well said SuziQ! I've said it many times before, but it bears repeating, all three singers are perfect. No amount of arguing, bickering and trolling can diminish them. They are in our hearts forever as are Marko and Troy. No band deserves five perfect singers more than Nightwish.
On a good day she was as good live as in studio recordings. There is a youtube video of an excellent performance of her. Let's not be unfair, after all she was Tuomas's pick for Nightwish.
@@Eulaalia10 That's true, but I didn't say all three singers were perfect live, or even perfect singers. People are the sum of their experiences, and the experiences the band went through are what made them who they are now. So all three singers were/are perfect at creating the Nightwish we know and love.
This is so bittersweet for me to watch. This song is what introduced me to nightwish in 05. Then to know that after this performance. Is when the band gave her the "open letter".
Marko is a great singer that is underated by many. In Nightwish Marko songs balads as "While Your Lips Are Still Red", Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" and "The Islander. Marko's solo work is awesome. He is part of the "The Northern Kings" with Jarkko Ahola (Teräsbetoni, ex-Dreamtale), Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica) e Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto (Charon). He sings a metal version of "In The Air Tonight" (Phil Collins) and "Take On Me" (A-HA). You'll even find Marko singing "Ave Maria" in a Christmas special.
You are entirely correct. I love all of the singers and what they each brought to Nightwish during their respective times with the band. Some songs are just better with certain singers, but in no way does that retract from the others. They are all amazing.
THANK YOU for stating to not compare the two, each has their own sound, style, both use their instrument (vocals) uniquely to THEIR strengths. Tarja (pronounced tar-yaw) had been with Nightwish since the start, she made the band what it is today. After she departed they had HUGE shoes to fill. Why they went with Anette Olzon I have no idea, I'm not dissing her, I love her, but she was more of a pop-metal singer and could not do what Tarja did/does. She had her own qualities and sound to which she is using today. She took a ton of flack and that was not fair, I'd love to see ANYONE come in and replace Tarja especially when you know you cannot. It's not fair she take all that negativity.
Nightwish is an awesome band. Few bands could claim both Tarja and Floor as lead vocalists in their history. Both ladies are among the best vocalists working today.. Tarja has had a great solo career and Floor is a Queen.
You must do your reaction of Everdream but sang by Tarja in concerts like Lowlands 2005 or The End of an Era DVD is pure feeling and better than Floor. The chemistry and the interaction not only with band members but with the audience from Tarja is that makes her so unique.
They were on fire here! And without Tarja, even if it’s many years ago, it’s not the same band. This is the originalband and the best version of the band. 🙏❤
Nightwish's 3 singers: 1. Tarja (original singer): 1995 to 2005 2. Annette: 2006 to 2012 3. Floor (current singer): 2013 to 2020+ everyone knows Floor, she's super popular with everyone, especially right now, and is a really good singer, having a huge variety of singing capability (pop, classical/opera, belting, growling/raspy), able to sing nightwish's old songs that were for Tarja's classical/opera singing, as well as new songs for her own variety/range of singing abilities Unfortunately for Annette, she's a pop singer, and a very good singer too, but her pop singing just didn't go that well with nightwish's music, which was made for Tarja's classical/opera singing. So, usually, she gets left out. so, it comes down to "Targasm” (Tarja) vs “Floorgasm” (Floor) in terms of the Nightwish singers in who you like most, if you like classical/opera singing better, Tarja is better at it, but that's all she does while with nightwish, as nightwish was created for tarja's unique singing/voice, (now with her own band, or solo, she does a greater range of singing), but she does it really well, she's really got a beautiful voice, if you like more pop singing, belting and growling/raspy, with or without classical/opera singing, than you like Floor better I knew nightwish from the early 2000s, so Nightwish will always be with Tarja, but Nightwish with Floor is really good too, but it's Tarja, who's my favorite singer with nightwish (many others will help you out with Floor's songs, so I'll just stick to Tarja's songs here) ---------- if you do like Tarja with nightwish, here's some good ones: (NOT ranked, just listed) 1. End of an Era (her last concert with nightwish, hard to find good quality and the entire concert, as it gets taken down) 2. Phantom of the Opera (her duet with Marco, really good, both of them together, this song was actually used in the Phantom of the Opera remake movie in 2004) 3. Wishmaster 4. Planet Hell (marco sings in this song as well) 5. End of All Hope 6. Dead Boy's Poem 7. Nemo (watch the official music video, NOT her concert performance of it, as it's really good, this is probably what got most of us older fans of nightwish, hooked to nightwish and her, after finding/watching this song by her and nigthwish) 8. Kinslayer 9. she is my sin 10. wish I had an angel and many more too
cowardly posted a letter outlining half-truths and very questionable accusations of her character and that of her husbands for which the fans, media, industry exploded, besieging Tuomas with avalanche of hate mail
@@BrindleChase i beg to differ...Tarja decided on a solo career in 2003 (not to join another band, despite numerous great offers)..she only agreed to remain for a bit longer , on the basis of her terms, to which they all agreed initially but then Marco bulked at shorter tours and Tuomas resented Marcelo's role in the band's affair, as though Tarja was no longer a vital part thereof..at any rate, the trashy letter was meant to drive a wedge between Tarja and the fans as well as paint her husband as a corruptive influence to the interests of the band...maturity and good-natured respect would have made the split far less of a humdinger for Tuomas..as she was not going to put up a struggle..and, as always, maintained her discretion
Tarja and Floor are both absolutely amazing and I adore them both. It should never be a competition as to who is better as that's unfair to both wonderful ladies. Both are goddesses. Tarja has had a great solo career after Nightwish and her latest album 'In the Raw' is fantastic. You guys should react to some of her solo stuff. ☺
This was her last show with the band, the DVD is titled 'End of an Era' i believe. PS: Tarja is pronounced "Tar-ya" just like Floor Jansen (Jansen = Yan-sen) 😊😊
always love the instant tears from the Finnish goth girls! Marco said in an interview, after Tarja left, they thought about calling Floor. After Forever was going good at the time, and they didn't think she would be interested.
plus the fact that Floor used a beautiful classico/metallic sound and they wanted to divest themselves of a classical voice, fearing inevitable comparisons to incomparable Tarja
@@thegrtone744 no doubt. thing i can't stop imagining watching this. think The Letter was already written by now? i think it probably was. unfortunate. if you subscribe to the multiverse theory of quantum physics, there's an Earth where it was never written.
Tarja is where the operatic sound came from for Nightwish. Her version of Ghost Love Score is different from Floor's and epic AF. My favorite Tarja song was Beauty Of the Beast, and it's a song that most of the members of the band helped write various parts of. Nightwish has had three amazing singers who have each gotten to show off their best work with the band. Anette's version of Dark Passion Play is no less emotional than Floor's, and Meadows of Heaven is a song that I doubt Floor will cover. Many of the most popular songs from the Wacken show were originally sung by either Tarja or Anette first, but Floor has made them her own. The Anette era is when I found Nightwish and she will always be a favorite, those two albums are for me Nightwish's best.
For more Tarja, try Within Temptation ft. Tarja - Paradise (What About Us).. Btw. Sharon is also Dutch, like Floor and Simone from Epica.. => Just like i said earlier.. There must be something in the Water over there.. *lol
So sad fact: This being Tarja's last performance with nightwish.....she did not know it during the concert but every other band member knew she was being fired. If you look at the drummer during that first bit, he looks like he is giving the impression of " damn, heart breaking to hear her sing beautifully while knowing it is her last"
Tarja is a bonafide opera singer. She did opera singing gigs while she was in Nightwish. I guess she is still active in that scene along with her solo career. This was a really tough act to follow and Floor does fit the bill very nicely. But there was a third leading lady for this group... Annette Olson. You still have not heard her sing for Nightwish. All three women are sopranos, but with a very different skill set...
Tarja and Marko Ava Maria performed years after she was fired from Nightwish it's so emotional. They do a Christmas tour with Floor, Tony from Sonata Arctica, Elize from Amaranthe and other singers and musicians every year.
Tarja wasn't their previous singer, but the 1st. After her was Anette, and then Floor. PS. Tuomas is said like 'TOUR-muss' (without an audible R obviously) - but if it feels difficult, you can say Thomas just in English: his name is just a Finnish version of it.
primo reaction dear lady!...love your look and smile..you need to see Tarja in their early power metal years when she sounded like a freight train with stage performance to match ... try anything from the wishes to eternity concert from 2000
For me, this is still the best version of the phantom and one of the most incredible songs ever. I love watching the reaction of those listening to it for the first time. Tarja does and amazing version of the phantom in her solo Act 1 concert. In a number of ways it betters this version BUT it misses Marko’s performance giving this Nightwish version the edge and leaving it at the top.
She had the flu during this gig. And still sang like an angel. It's also the last consert before she was handed that famous letter that told her she was no longer in the band.
Actually that is incorrect. If you listen to how the band say her name, or Floor says her name, it is most definitely not with a hard J. It's more like Tar-e-ya. Plus i hear them sort of rolling the R when saying her name.
What Jonas meant was that if you know how to pronounce Finnish alphabet you know how to pronounce Tarja. As J is always pronounced as Y and your Rs are always rolled. Unfortunately it is not the same in English if you do not know the language well.
Oh yeah they were really acting because after this very concert they kicked her from the band, right after it. It was decided already and they all knew, just she didnt.
Great reaction. :) Can you react something from Tarja's solo career? Please react song "Crimson Deep" live version from DVD "Act I" or "Supremacy" (Muse cover) live from Woodstock 2016.
I’m not sure if that chemistry is real at this point. Everyone knows this is her last show but her. Unanimous decision, she must go. The show must go on.
That would obviously have some impact, but it's not like they necessarily disliked her as a person. Tarja even specifically mentioned recently that she always had a good relationship with Marko.
Tuomas was jealous of Marcelo and angry at Tarja for leaving, considering her irreplaceable...Marco was mad because she was costing him money, refusing to go on long tours and the rest would do anything to keep their job...
@@thegrtone744 Dude, nobody needs you spewing random accusations 15 years after a messy breakup. Nobody involved was a saint, but the only ones who didn't grow as people are bitter Tarja fans like you. Just let it go. We're trying to be a nice community here.
I wasn't a fan of Nightwish during the Tarja Era. The talent was obvious, but Tarja prevented me from liking the band... Also, it's weird to see this video: Marco knows Tarja has been fired, but she doesn't know yet.... I usually skip this reaction from other reactors.
Oh you mean the Y's that you pronounse as "why" when you say the actual letter all by it's self? Yeah... that's really strange how the letter J, which is pronounced as "jay" when you say the letter by it's self, would somehow sound like the letter "Y" ... XD If you follow the english rules as to how to pronounce letters, then the word "You" should actually be pronounced "Why-ou". XD
This IS the best performance of this song EVER. Even today I still get goosebumps like crazy from the beginning to the end 🤩
even 15 years later this version is still my favorite. I like to think that without Tarja Nightwish would never have been where they are today. She put Nightwish on the map back in late 90's early 00's. i have listen to Nightwish since 1999 i have seen all changes. Tho the new songs are all increadable masterpieces in their own glory i still value the earlie songs that shaped Nightwish most.
Согласен)
100% agree
I kinda hope Floor & Marko don't do Phantom, and leave this as the perfect version. They shouldn't touch Meadows of Heaven either for the same reason.
absolutely..without her they would be a mood band
That is correct. Without Tarja there would have never been Nightwish. Sure, Tuomas would have done something, but it was Tarja's voice what inspired him to do bigger songs. They supposed to be acoustic mood band. Then again, I believe that Tarja also inspired him to write all those incredible songs like "Ghost Love Score" and "Ever Dream", even "Nemo" and "Bye Bye Beautiful" (+many many more).
Everyone always focuses on Tarja, and the comparison to Floor etc etc. but for me the consistent performer that blows everybody away every single time is Marko. Keeping up with opera singers and hitting notes like those is NOT easy for a guy, even less so one who doesn't have a falsetto
Marko is a gem! His song endless is my favorite of the last album.
Can't wait to hear Marko singing Phantom with Floor
Marco kinda steals the show here!
@@Elan_B I love Floor and Marko equally. Some Floor fans are all about Floor.
Floor's solo stuff is awesome, but for me she's at her best with Nightwish. I also prefer "How's the Heart" by Nightwish over the acoustic version by Floor and Troy. There's more to enjoy.
Also annoyed by all those "voice wars". Whenever some youtuber posts a "Who is the best singer? Tarja, Anette or Floor?" video I comment with "Marko." :p
Tarja and Floor sang a duet, "over the hills". It's quite nice. And the height difference... Tarja looks like a little doll next to Floor. I grew up with Tarja, haven't listened to Nightwish for years and rediscovered the band with Floor. I absolutely agree. They are both talented and passionate about what they do, they should not be compared. Especially not in a hostile way.
And I am one of those apparently few who enjoy the band with all three women singing, they certainly are different and that is what makes is special.
@@MrFrikkenfrakken I like some songs with Anette, Tarja is pure nostalgia and she has a great voice and Floor is just great. So yeah... me too :)
I'm there with you guys as well. They approach singing totally differently to each other and all sound great.
@@MrFrikkenfrakken your not alone i love everything they make because i know Tuomas alwayes makes music and fits it to a singers style,annette wasnt so good live but you cant say albums with her were bad most of popular songs everyone reacts today are form imaginarium so yea i love all 3 of them

This is simply the ultimate best version of this Nightwish modded version of this grand song...impossible to top this by any means.

amen..its a beautiful rendition..still gives me goosies
Wow! Great reaction! Fan from Finland here!
Yeahhhhh finally a Nightwish Song Reaction with my Vocal Queen Tarja 🖤💜🖤💜Thank you for this 🙏
Легендарное выступление!
My opinion is Marco killed it . He's the man. If you to react to another Tarja you should do Walking in the air at the End of an Era.
Walking in the air from a concert From Wishes to enternity 2000.
Love how you stopped headbanging when it got real :)
THANK YOU for stating to not compare the two, each has their own sound, style, both use their instrument (vocals) uniquely to THEIR strengths.

Your band is freaking fucking awesome. Just started following you and your man. My god, how haven't I
heard of your band?
They were on fire here! And without Tarja, even if it’s many years ago, it’s not the same band. This is the originalband and the best version of the band. 🙏❤
Nightwish's 3 singers:
1. Tarja (original singer): 1995 to 2005
2. Annette: 2006 to 2012
3. Floor (current singer): 2013 to 2020+
everyone knows Floor, she's super popular with everyone, especially right now, and is a really good singer, having a huge variety of singing capability (pop, classical/opera, belting, growling/raspy), able to sing nightwish's old songs that were for Tarja's classical/opera singing, as well as new songs for her own variety/range of singing abilities
Unfortunately for Annette, she's a pop singer, and a very good singer too, but her pop singing just didn't go that well with nightwish's music, which was made for Tarja's classical/opera singing. So, usually, she gets left out.
so, it comes down to "Targasm” (Tarja) vs “Floorgasm” (Floor) in terms of the Nightwish singers in who you like most, if you like classical/opera singing better, Tarja is better at it, but that's all she does while with nightwish, as nightwish was created for tarja's unique singing/voice, (now with her own band, or solo, she does a greater range of singing), but she does it really well, she's really got a beautiful voice, if you like more pop singing, belting and growling/raspy, with or without classical/opera singing, than you like Floor better
I knew nightwish from the early 2000s, so Nightwish will always be with Tarja, but Nightwish with Floor is really good too, but it's Tarja, who's my favorite singer with nightwish
(many others will help you out with Floor's songs, so I'll just stick to Tarja's songs here)
----------
if you do like Tarja with nightwish, here's some good ones:
(NOT ranked, just listed)
1. End of an Era (her last concert with nightwish, hard to find good quality and the entire concert, as it gets taken down)
2. Phantom of the Opera (her duet with Marco, really good, both of them together, this song was actually used in the Phantom of the Opera remake movie in 2004)
3. Wishmaster
4. Planet Hell (marco sings in this song as well)
5. End of All Hope
6. Dead Boy's Poem
7. Nemo (watch the official music video, NOT her concert performance of it, as it's really good, this is probably what got most of us older fans of nightwish, hooked to nightwish and her, after finding/watching this song by her and nigthwish)
8. Kinslayer
9. she is my sin
10. wish I had an angel
and many more too
I believe Tarja was let go immediately after this concert, at least that's what I've garnered from other comments.
cowardly posted a letter outlining half-truths and very questionable accusations of her character and that of her husbands for which the fans, media, industry exploded, besieging Tuomas with avalanche of hate mail

@@overdosedmiawallace interesting..but Tarja's husband offered ample documentation to reinforce the facts and to squash their delusions

Next.. nightwish - wishmaster (end of an era). Nightwish - slaying the dreamer (end of an era)
This was her last show with the band, the DVD is titled 'End of an Era' i believe.
PS: Tarja is pronounced "Tar-ya" just like Floor Jansen (Jansen = Yan-sen) 😊😊
Finland has a metal church. Imagine the accoustics in there
always love the instant tears from the Finnish goth girls! Marco said in an interview, after Tarja left, they thought about calling Floor. After Forever was going good at the time, and they didn't think she would be interested.
plus the fact that Floor used a beautiful classico/metallic sound and they wanted to divest themselves of a classical voice, fearing inevitable comparisons to incomparable Tarja
@@thegrtone744 no doubt. thing i can't stop imagining watching this. think The Letter was already written by now? i think it probably was. unfortunate. if you subscribe to the multiverse theory of quantum physics, there's an Earth where it was never written.
Yes! Finally a Video that highlights Jukka's sheer power when he plays. Also, FYI, Tarja is pronounced Tar-Ya. And shes also a great vocalist
Seth Booze Jukka always kicked ass!!!
want more tarja? try wish i had an angel or sleeping sun (live from end of an era concert) and she is my sin (live)
This whole concert, End of an Era, is worth a look and a listen for sure.
one of their most acclaimed
thegrt one absolutely. So ridiculously good.
Please, react to theirs concert "From Wishes To Eternity" 2001.
It was recorded in December 2000 and published in 2001.
Amazing version. Funny you commented on the on stage chemistry, the band replaced her just after this concert I think.
Tarja is where the operatic sound came from for Nightwish. Her version of Ghost Love Score is different from Floor's and epic AF. My favorite Tarja song was Beauty Of the Beast, and it's a song that most of the members of the band helped write various parts of. Nightwish has had three amazing singers who have each gotten to show off their best work with the band. Anette's version of Dark Passion Play is no less emotional than Floor's, and Meadows of Heaven is a song that I doubt Floor will cover. Many of the most popular songs from the Wacken show were originally sung by either Tarja or Anette first, but Floor has made them her own. The Anette era is when I found Nightwish and she will always be a favorite, those two albums are for me Nightwish's best.
For more Tarja, try Within Temptation ft. Tarja - Paradise (What About Us)..
Btw. Sharon is also Dutch, like Floor and Simone from Epica.. => Just like i said earlier.. There must be something in the Water over there.. *lol
chemistry lasted for an hour from that point, Tarja started to talk with Marko last year after 14 year
:)
Tarja is pronounced Tar-yah. Opera is her thing. She was one of the first operatic metal singers. Great reaction video Suzie Q! Peace out!
So sad fact: This being Tarja's last performance with nightwish.....she did not know it during the concert but every other band member knew she was being fired. If you look at the drummer during that first bit, he looks like he is giving the impression of " damn, heart breaking to hear her sing beautifully while knowing it is her last"
A more metal Tarja; I Wish I Had an Angel.
Tarja is a bonafide opera singer. She did opera singing gigs while she was in Nightwish. I guess she is still active in that scene along with her solo career. This was a really tough act to follow and Floor does fit the bill very nicely. But there was a third leading lady for this group... Annette Olson. You still have not heard her sing for Nightwish. All three women are sopranos, but with a very different skill set...
Slaying the dreamier ,siren ,Planet hell please
We love you too :)
In 2022 this version is still amazing
I wonder who is coming actualy to see the reaction for Marco being insane? XD
Tarja and Marko Ava Maria performed years after she was fired from Nightwish it's so emotional. They do a Christmas tour with Floor, Tony from Sonata Arctica, Elize from Amaranthe and other singers and musicians every year.
Tarja has a forgiving heart and enormous charisma
Tarja wasn't their previous singer, but the 1st. After her was Anette, and then Floor.
PS. Tuomas is said like 'TOUR-muss' (without an audible R obviously) - but if it feels difficult, you can say Thomas just in English: his name is just a Finnish version of it.
All in all a great performance, but for me Marko stole the show!
primo reaction dear lady!...love your look and smile..you need to see Tarja in their early power metal years when she sounded like a freight train with stage performance to match ... try anything from the wishes to eternity concert from 2000
Tarja & Marko kiitos.
THE band Helloween is a must soon again
For me, this is still the best version of the phantom and one of the most incredible songs ever. I love watching the reaction of those listening to it for the first time. Tarja does and amazing version of the phantom in her solo Act 1 concert. In a number of ways it betters this version BUT it misses Marko’s performance giving this Nightwish version the edge and leaving it at the top.
while your at the store, could you pick me up a bag of YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd suggest Walking in the Air with Tarja Live. Very touching and gosh were they young. :)
She had the flu during this gig. And still sang like an angel. It's also the last consert before she was handed that famous letter that told her she was no longer in the band.
and a throat infection , going on like a champ for this last concert of tour and they called her a diva...
i love you 😍😍😍
Tarja is the former member and then was anette and now floor .
The best version everr❤❤❤❤ Tarja❤❤❤❤
I love floor, but this version, what truly puts over the top, is Marko. Of course tarja is amazing and I lover her too, but Marko is the man.
Tarja = Tar as in Tarmac. Ya as in call ya. 😁
Great reaction. Tarja will be missed.
Check out Tarja and Floor "Over the hills" duet. They did it together, I love both of them! :)
Everdream with Tarja is heaven :)
amen..it just sounds straight from heaven
love tarja, i would never compare her to another singer.
yah, she is so unique with that devilishly angelic quality...and absolute epitome of walking sweetness in person
amen..her splendor is inimitable
The tarja is great
Everdream with Tarja is a must 😎
live End of an Era
@@davidviteris thats the one 🤘👌
Devil and the deep dark ocean in Buenos Aires 💪
The j in her name is pronounced as a Y. So Tar-ya. Just an FYI. Love the reactions by the way. Diggin your band too.
this version best coz good faster tempo,marco is best phantom and i love tarja. thanx suzi to react this one. hmmm next 10th man down :)
and end of all hope, the way it was meant to be done
React to paradice of whitin temptation feat Tarja.
I'm not a Tarja fan, but nice reaction. Marko is the man as always!
As Tarja is from finland her name prnomes exactky as it spells, with a hard R and J. If you can spell it you can say it kinda
Actually that is incorrect. If you listen to how the band say her name, or Floor says her name, it is most definitely not with a hard J.
It's more like Tar-e-ya. Plus i hear them sort of rolling the R when saying her name.
What Jonas meant was that if you know how to pronounce Finnish alphabet you know how to pronounce Tarja. As J is always pronounced as Y and your Rs are always rolled. Unfortunately it is not the same in English if you do not know the language well.
Oh yeah they were really acting because after this very concert they kicked her from the band, right after it. It was decided already and they all knew, just she didnt.
thats gratitude for you, after she stayed with them out of loyalty, after official quiting years prior
Great reaction. :) Can you react something from Tarja's solo career? Please react song "Crimson Deep" live version from DVD "Act I" or "Supremacy" (Muse cover) live from Woodstock 2016.
before we get into this, im gunna go peepee and then shove in my headphones, hope you haver waht it takes :P haha
I’m not sure if that chemistry is real at this point. Everyone knows this is her last show but her. Unanimous decision, she must go. The show must go on.
That would obviously have some impact, but it's not like they necessarily disliked her as a person. Tarja even specifically mentioned recently that she always had a good relationship with Marko.
Tuomas was jealous of Marcelo and angry at Tarja for leaving, considering her irreplaceable...Marco was mad because she was costing him money, refusing to go on long tours and the rest would do anything to keep their job...
@@ozzyp97 ..recently , she met him once or twice...i wouldn't after his crazy eyed diatribes
@@thegrtone744 Dude, nobody needs you spewing random accusations 15 years after a messy breakup. Nobody involved was a saint, but the only ones who didn't grow as people are bitter Tarja fans like you.
Just let it go. We're trying to be a nice community here.
Please check out to Tarja's cover of "Supremacy"
Take a listen to their cover of Gary Moores over the hills!
I wasn't a fan of Nightwish during the Tarja Era. The talent was obvious, but Tarja prevented me from liking the band...
Also, it's weird to see this video: Marco knows Tarja has been fired, but she doesn't know yet....
I usually skip this reaction from other reactors.
Her name is pronounced as TARYA
Tarja is pronounced Tarr-ee-ya Yes, those European J's that are pronounced as Y's again lol. ALSO, if you can roll the R sound you get bonus points.
Oh you mean the Y's that you pronounse as "why" when you say the actual letter all by it's self? Yeah... that's really strange how the letter J, which is pronounced as "jay" when you say the letter by it's self, would somehow sound like the letter "Y" ... XD
If you follow the english rules as to how to pronounce letters, then the word "You" should actually be pronounced "Why-ou". XD
