Floor Jansen, First of her name, Queen of the Valkyries, Sovereign of mortals, Lady of Nightwish, Protector of the Metal Realm. May she reign in grace, clarity and power.
I don't think so. Ms Tara Simon seems to know her stuff well. Even nothing that the music sounds it could be for a movie. Tuomas do love to listen to movie soundtracks by Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer. And in an interview, when asked about singers, he also mentioned Celine Dion - because of her technique. And she is right about Jukka being a good drummer keeping it just so. From her reactions, while she noted on Floor's technique as good, no mention about her voice's timbre and tone, about Floor's diction, intonation and phrasing. I frankly think Floor's techniques is risky. But, hey, she's a vocal coach before. Maybe she shows what she is doing.
Thank you for giving a shout out to Jukka the drummer, the guy is insanely good, he's basically Floor's co star here, and that's saying something given how good the other band members are. Not many reactors mention Jukka.
Best comment, Jukka is an amazing drummer. This is a great reaction video, when you talk about Nightwish you've got a solid band, Jukka, Marko, Thoumas and Emppu.
I think that she is performing even better than Tarja. Floor has a wider range and is able to deal with the different singing styles that Nightwish has had over time.
@@jaimergonzalezh Please don't be too disrespectful. Whatever the realities are that we want to accept, you're still essentially saying that an accomplished professional opera singer can't sing well enough. That can be a bit rich coming from some random commenter regardless of the context.
@@chardonnay5767 I didn't mean to be disrespectful. Tarja is phenomenal, but I think that Floor seems to be able to handle a wider set of singing styles than Tarja tried. I would not even argue if anyone said that Tarja is a better opera singer than Floor. I just personally think that Floor is able to cover more ground, and to do so with fantastic quality.
1:being a vocal teacher yourself doesn't make you immune to mistakes. Psychologists can be crazy bitches themselves as well. Although her technique indeed is pristine and highly proficient, no question. I'd give a lot for a few sessions with her advise. 2: saying she's got an opera background is misleading. she had some rather basic classical training, but nothing very extensive. It enables her to access immense dramatic effect. But she truly reigns in contemporary singing. The whole package is outstanding.
She is also a giant woman (1.83 meters for a minute, if im not wrong, and a huge chest). It helps her to nail classic Nightwish songs so easily (more volume-more sound-more space to work).
Now that you have opened the Nightwish door...prepare to be bombarded with requests, so I might as well chime in...Nightwish- Poet and the Pendulum Live at Wembley 2016
A whole bunch of Nightwish fans will be suggesting so many more songs to you! So glad you reacted to this. Their songs are always top notch. After this people tend to react to Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley
@@SoulFullOfMusic81 they all do. Not specially anyone. I praise jukka just AS much as the rest of the group stil and i Will Keep doing so as long as he keeps his good influence on the group as he does now. But i praise both kai and Troy just as much 😍 the only one that gets a little more than the rest is Toumas 🤘 he is just " the master" 😁👍
Floor dropped another bomb in a dutch program called Beste zanger van Nederland. She did a duet Phantom of the opera score, and hits a few notes that are only for the greats among us...
I love it when someone gets introduced to Nightwish. Floor is such a badass, probably the only person on the planet who could have been a true successor to Tarja.
@@Harolddespui I have heard Floor singing operas before. She is extremly good with that and in general easily one of the best singers in the world. But when it comes to opera she is not as good as Tarja. Maybe it is because Tarja is a trained operatic singer and floor is not.
@@Juvahh Sorry I misspoke (Quarentime life n I was abit high) I meant previous singer "Tarja Turunen" the first female singer on Nightwish. I personally prefer Floor but Nemo still my favor song by them n Tarja n her Phantom of the Opera was fantastic. I saw them in cousert when Tarja was there singer n I was the greats saw I have ever gone to.
Nicolas Cardillo Hahaha that’s alright. I was already thinking “did they replace Floor too? Please nooo!”, lol. I used to like Tarja a lot (been in 2 Nightwish concerts myself and loved them, both with Tarja), but while I didn’t get to like Anette so much, I’m really enjoying Floor singing. I didn’t see Anette live, but I absolutely gotta see NW again now with Floor. It seems to me that she’s a more versatile singer than Tarja was... she was awesome, but more focused on the “operatic” part. Anyways, Nightwish always was and is a fabulous band with exceptional live performances. Let’s hope we get the chance to keep watching them live many times!
I had the absolute privilege of seeing them live twice. They are amazing, incredible, wonderful. I cried many times. I also got to meet them which was a mind blowing experience. They are truly incredible.
@@Delibro Lots of other voice coaches presses space and switches into speech mode. Then presses space again to return to listen mode. They tend to catch more details by being 100% focused on listening. And we too enjoy it better to not have the talk overlaying the music.
Floor is a goddess. Before the release of their last album, this was her favorite Nightwish song. She was performing her favorite song at the largest metal festival in the world--and she bleeding NAILED it. You need to check out "Greatest Show on Earth" by Nightwish. It's her best vocal performance to date (in my opinion). I've seen them live thrice, and it's spiritual.
The recording of this song from Buenos Aires in 2012 is astonishing. She'd only just joined the band full-time and people were clearly uncertain about the new singer, but by the end of this song she OWNED Argentina. :D The crowd's on their feet chanting "Floor! Floor! Floor! Floor!" One of the most magnificent vocal moments in rock.
NIGHTWISH is Spectacular live! This was about an hour and a half into this concert! The Wacken 2013 show was impeccable in its entirety. You should react to more Nightwish live... I would recommend The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembely 2015. It is a absolute musical masterpiece and it showcases Floor's diverse vocal talents.
People go 'round and 'round about which recording is best, but I come down on the Buenos Aires show the previous year. When she hits *THAT* note in Ghost Love Score it's like slamming at high speed into a block wall made entirely of awesomeness. 😀 Time, space, and sound all converge and it's like nothing I've ever heard.
Tara, one of the things that is not mentioned very often is that this is a 15 song set and this performance was song number 13 in the set. Thus, she is doing all of those wonderful technical things, such as breath control, etc, after about an hour of performing. Now not all of Nightwish's songs are this long, but there are a lot of them that are similar in the amount of effort that Floor and the band have to put out on stage. The whole band is just amazing.
Well, Floor has a bachelors' degree in performance arts (Rock academy), so she definitely knows how to sing. She's also inherently talented and best thing to ever come out of my country that's not sports (Floor ranks higher though, it's a shame so very few Dutch people know of her).
ferretmom66 Yeah, but Troy, who plays pipes for them, is an official band member. So her statement is still accurate; maybe she spotted Troy at the back of the stage early on, even though he wasn’t a part of this song? She certainly seems to have done some research on the band prior to watching the video.
@@DarkJediPrincess I think there's a bit of Troy's work around 7:20. There is actually a great example of the Uilleann pipes in a different song during this concert: Last of the Wilds.
@@Tarasimonstudios As i already said before in another coments... Love your reactions and lessons... But I don't undestand why you did not made more videos of NW and Floor. I wait for, I don't know, 6 mounths and did not see anymore videos of this guys... Please give us this gifts...
@@catherinegoulet4263 After Forever was great, I used to listen to Energize Me all the time. So glad Nightwish managed to bring her on board after Annette left.
If you love this line-up then watch any live recording from 2013 onward (actually she jointed them right in the middle of their American part of their worldtour in 2012). they have had 3 vocalist 1 Tarja (mainly operatic she was with them until 2005 a very good vocalist) and Anette Olzon (very average singer with a rather disappointing live voice IMHO). Futhermore Floor had been the lead vocalist of "After Forever" and "Revamp" before she jointed them. This is were the band knew her from because she had been on tour with them as part of the support band and had become close friends. Both of her previous bands are also worth a look.
welcome to Nightwish fandom. i highly recommend to watch the entire show of Wacken live from 2013 where this song is from th-cam.com/video/nIsbXJ81SK0/w-d-xo.html
It sure is. I almost came when I first heard it in 5.1 DTS format. Absolutely transcendental experience. Of course with the original Tarja's vocals. I like Anette and Floor, but they can't outperform her in that song.
@@Holtijaar OH, yeah, I agree. Tarja is a metahuman, half siren half woman, but I really love the epic end Floor made in the shows as a golden finishing to an amazing book.
@@daddycool4047 if you wanna call it 'what reactions will make me popular 101' I dont think tool needs to be in the list. Just the 1st 3. But Nightwish - Gls always leads on to Poet and the Pendulum, Romanticide, Greatest show etc ...
@Talsong Kingslayer I'm sorry but that's not true, Floor is a lot better than Tarja, maybe not in opera style, but Floor can do whatever she wants, but Tarja can just sing opera, that's all. Nightwish is free now to do whatever they want, wich is great because the band have a lot more to offer that just the type of music that they used to do. Also you can watch an interview to Troy, he said that Floor can sing anything, wich is not the case for Tarja, so yeah Floor is a lot better singer than Tarja.
Now that you've heard Floor sing let me suggest "Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show" and you can enjoy more Floor and discover Simone Simons ethereal voice at the same time.
@@tontoepstein6860 You are wrong. Yes, some backing choirs and symphonic parts are played from backing track. But not as much as you think. Tuomas has fancy keyboard and if you focus on him, a lot of symphonic parts (especially strings) are played by him. I maybe looks like his keyboard can't be heard, but it is not true. He is playing a lot of backing symphonic parts. Only it is not so obvious...
@@FadedLightBluePink I'm not "wrong." If you want to hear how they'd really sound without the ridiculous amount of backing tracks, then find the videos of them on their 2004 American club tour, and then compare it to their last show in Finland in 2005 that was recorded for video and reeked of prerecorded backing tracks.
@@tontoepstein6860 the main reason is that touring with a full orchestra and choir is logistically difficult and expensive. They only seek to make the live performance sound as faithful as possible to the studio recording. Covering all bases imo. No worse than rap/hip hop "artists" shamelessly stealing outright and sampling music from others to create their own worthless hits and making gazillions. At least Nightwish are really talented musicians. And this is a pretty gloriously epic performance.
@@rickleblanc8900 Why are you comparing them to rap artists, that's a concert joke, tool They don't need to pay a full orchestra, they need to play live with whatever they've got. If they can't do that, then don't tour.
This was when Tarja Turunen was still with the Nightwish. so slightly different vocals. I forgot the had a new lead. Tarja also has some amazing song that she did on her own as well. Very worth the listen.
@Jorge Conceição Yes, she does. But it's not the same. Not that its bad, but clearly Phantom of the Opera is owned by Tarja. Just like with Ghost Love Score, Tarja sung it, but Floor's version is what its known for.
Now you have done it. Soo great. Floorgasms to all. Nice Reaction. This Concert was recorded at the Wacken Open Air 2013 in front of 82000 People. Floor Jansen the Queen of Symphonic Metal!!! Thanks for the Reaction!! Greets Paddy
@@ravendarklawgaming197 I love Floor, but would never diss Tarja's voice. Her pure classical head voice is in a league of its own, even if Floor is more versatile and has much better vowel pronunciation for English lyrics.
Honestly, nightwish are the most talented band of the last 20 years, but still dont have the recognition they deserve. They have album after album of incredibly delicate yet extremely technical anthems
My marching band did a Nightwish set for my sophomore year. We did “Sahara”, “Islander”, “Escapist”(Concert addition only), and “Moondance”. We NEVER lost a single competition during that set.
Lucario007 how is that possible? The Islander, Sahara and Escapist are all dark passion play era songs. In 2004 Once was released, Tarja was still the singer and none of those three songs were written.
Wacken!!! the biggest Music (Metal) Festival in Germany, and one of the biggest in Europe. 85 000 People, sold out in round about 30 minutes every year
She taught for years, sang professionally with success for over 20 years, and is a vocal coach during her downtime. So yeah, she's both technical and emotional.
Nightwish has had multiple very different sounding vocalists during their very successful career (Tarja Turunen & Anette Olzon. Also their bass player Marco Hietala has a killer voice and features on some songs). If you feel like it, it might be fun to try and analyze some side-to-side comparisons of different singers doing the same songs live, and commenting on their technical differences!
Her: "I'm probably gonna try to talk over some instrumentals, *if there are any in here*..." Me: That's obviously her first Nightwish Song - and there's a lot of talking ahead 😂.
I can't understand how you can listen to her singing that chorus and talk and think about technique instead of just getting goose bumps and feel like flying in another dimension
What society dictates Blows ah but are you a drummer in a high profile band though? You know it’s like a top sport don’t you? I have insomnia too and if I’m not taking sleeping pills, I’m tired of sleep deprivation and if I do take them I’m groggy and hungover. Don’t know which feeling is worse. Sometimes walking the stairs even takes my breath away. So yeah I do believe he had to quit his job due to insomnia. God knows he’s not the only one. But if you’re not having any troubles, care to elaborate on your secret? I’m sure we insomniacs are dying to know this miracle solution
@@rickleblanc8900 Agreed, not sure how she can judge a song that she constantly talks over. I like the british vocal coach better, she doesn't talk as much and also pauses to say things.
@@rickleblanc8900 Maybe it's because she is a vocal coach and tries to explain to people how Floor's voice and performance works? Cut her some slack, she is great at explaining and I love the fact that she comments on things in more detail.
Well thats because she is, objectively, one of the greatest singers alive right now. If you watch Best Zangers you will see that all the professionals singers there, even the legend that is Hank Poort, were absolutly impressed by her.
@@realeyesrealizereallies1176 it comes down to personal taste I guess, she didn't say they sung badly just that she preferred the more classical approach from the musical, she was very complimentary of Ghost Love Score. I think it was Opera singer reviews or something like that.
Just saw Linor Oren on the Beste Zangers duet with Henk Poort and Phantom of the Opera. She was not that impressed, but I think mostly irritated since she was expecting the original Andrew Lloyd Webber composition.
People who don't play themselves might think that it's easier to play with a backing track, but actually it takes a whole another level of musicianship to pull it off. You can't fail even once or everyone and their grandmother will notice it. Especially the drummer, he keeps the group together or not.
Yeah, people exclude music based on pre assumptions.. Someone heard a death metal tune in passing and thinks all Heavy Metal sounds the same. Nice though that some, at least, gets the wake up call and an opportunity to enjoy something new to them.
Chill dudes. Metal is good for those who love it. I would never listen to any metal were it not for Tarja. Don't care much for Simone or Sharon and their bands. They sound like girls with sweet voices singing pretty songs compared to Tarja, a woman with great timbre and tone who really made Nightwish sounds majestic and soulful. Without Tarja, Nightwish sounds like a technically good band playing bombastic and over wrought music. Still good. But no "magic" and distinctiveness as a symphonic metal band.
I NEVER CLICKED LIKE BUTTON FASTER AND HARDER, BEFORE EVEN WATCHING THE VIDEO! I'm so happy you finally reacted to metal goddess Floor Jansen and I'm so happy you loved the complete band, since you mostly react on pop artists. The amazing fact is that Floor was singing very vocally demanding songs for an hour already, before singing Ghost love score and she doesn't even sound tired a bit. That's how great her technique is and her stage presence is awesome, she was totally commanding that crowd with her magic! The highest note she's hitting in the song fans named "Floorgasm"! :D Thank you for reacting!
Floor is pathetic if we compare her with Taria. Try listening the same songs and you will hear the difference, Floor's voice is much weaker. There is only one Valkyrie.
@@1Predatel1 You've noticed that except for yourself, no one here in dozens of comments has made any kind of comparison between Floor and Tarja. If you do not like it, do not see it, simple. Even if I prefer Floor to Tarja or Anette, that does not give me the right to insult them. I tell you, Tarja's voice was the reason I became a Nightwish fan, and when she left, I moved away from them for a few years. Until I hear Floor ... As many say, she is a Goddess, she is simply the meeting of the best vocal attributes of Tarja, along with Anette, with the bonus of rock voice she as. And therefore, she has an improved singing technique, and her presence on stage is sublime, the audience gets mesmerized. But this is just my opinion and personal taste, I will not go around saying that the others are pathetic. It is a matter of RESPECT.
8 Simple Rules for Reacting to Nightwish 1 - At 1:25, that's not Troy. Also, those aren't Uilleann pipes. 2 - Yes, that drummer is killing it. Always does. 3 - Yes, the rest of the band are also serious musicians. 4 - So is Floor, but like, on turbo. 5 - Watch The Poet and the Pendulum. 6 - Then watch The Greatest Show on Earth. 7 - Then have a drink and a cigarette. 8 - If you need to come down easy from your Floorgasm, try Epica - Sancta Terra w/Floor.
@Tara, WOW it took you a while to get here, but *so glad* you did! Hehehe, watch out....you're about to be bombarded with requests from the Nightwish family. I'm looking forward to it!!!!
Great video. Love your facial expression at 9:49 when she hits her note. The word "Floorgasm" is often used when describing her vocals, and now you know why :)
*insert Ann Waychoff'* Welcome to the Nightwish Nation! The band has been around since 1996 and pioneered the Symphonic Metal genre. The band was created by the keyboardist and composer, Tuomas Holopainen, who writes 95% of the music and lyrics, with the others being Marco (bassist). The singer is Floor Jansen, a legend in the metal world. The last note she hits is what we call a Floorgasm. This song is a sweeping epic love song with truly poetic lyrics. There is SO MUCH to this band that you'd appreciate if you react to more of their videos. Most people are going to try and sway you towarsd "Poet and the Pendulum", but I recommend you check out "Story Time" or "Romanticide" both from this show Wacken 2013. You'll be even MORE amazed at what Floor can do on those songs. She is also capable of growls (see "Yours Is An Empty Hope" official live video).
@Adam Blackstone "The band was created by the keyboardist and composer, Tuomas Holopainen" But What about Tarja Turunen and Emppu Vuorinen? They're all co-founders!
Tuomas had the idea in his mind already and then asked Jukka and Emppu who were on board. Then asked Tarja. They all make up the band but he started it and it is following his vision / direction but with consideration of the other members input of course.
Night Wish history can be pretty much be summed up in one word prior to Floor's arrival - DRAMA. Aside from Floor's vocals and stage presence, which fits the essence of Night Wish perfectly, she also brought a calming influence from the storms of the past. In watching her Paris 2018 interview on the Duke TV channel, I was struck by the feeling of calm that I get when she speaks. She takes no individual credit for the band's success and attributes it all to her bandmates. Her statement was something to the effect that she is merely another instrument on the stage, just like everyone else. All the Night Wish musicians have a reputation of being perfectionists, but I think Floor took them to another level since they know she's going to "bring it" on every song of every performance which pushes them all to step up. As I studied the facial expressions and interaction of the band members during the 15 song 1.5 hour Wacken '13 performance (Ghost Love Score was #13) it was obvious they knew early on in the performance that they had found their replacement for Annette.
Listen to some of Epica! Simone Simons is a great singer too and even has duos with Floor Jansen (Sancta Terra live is fantasitc!). Try Essence of Silence (official live video), The Obsessive Devotion (official live video), The Phantom Agony (Retrospect) or Chasing the Dragon (Retrospect). Pregnant in a few of those and still killing it. And lastly Consign to Oblivion live at the Zenith for mindblowing showmanship. PS: Isn't symphonic metal the awesomest thing ever? Yes. Yes it is. It's the best mix ever.
Floor Jansen is/was a vocal coach herself. She did it for years to make ends meet. Her discipline and stamina was born out of years on the road in various bands. Now she's in Nightwish playing arenas and stadiums and probably doesn't have much time left to do lessons these days. Not to mention she's now a mother.
What still blows me away is that Floor was a temporary replacement for vocalist Anette Olzon when this was recorded. Floor initially replaced Anette on their North America tour and then did Wacken Open Air. There's a 2 hour documentary about Floor's first days as a 'only-live' member called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours". A month after this recording it was announced Floor would be a permanent band member. Also, that's a crowd of 85.000 people.
I have seen alot of concerts in my day but Nightwish is right up there with the greats . I don't know any artist right now who could out sing or out shine Floor or Nightwish .
I saw Nightwish in concert last year and it was THE BEST concert I've ever been to. I even got to meet them. They are so cool and were very nice to me. I was shaking and nervous but they made me feel very welcome. Seeing them in concert and meeting them was number 1 on my bucket list.
YYYYEEEEESSSSSSS! I knew you'd have a lot to dig into on this performance. Floor Jansen is an amazingly talented singer and that entire concert was killer between her and the musicians in the band. As other people are saying, when you come back to Nightwish, please please please react to The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley. Its another one of their epic, symphonic songs that's packed with amazing musicianship, singing and emotion. That or I'd love to hear you react to Lisa Fischer - "How Can I Ease The Pain" ( Live )
Nightwish is a "Symphonic Metal" band. Floor is a classically trained singer as well as a vocal coach herself. The last note she sang is known in the Nightwish community as the "Floorgasm." Welcome to the fold!
YAASS finally! I’ve been waiting a year for this! Welcome to the world of symphonic metal. Nightwish is one of the biggest of the sub genre and they’re a live band, mostly. Their live is better than the studio. I would highly recommend The Poet and the Pendulum Live at Wembley, it’s a longer but is phenomenal.
Thank you, Tara, Thank you. I've been waiting for this since I started getting into vocal coach reaction videos. I love how you point things out. It comes off as the most professional, yet entertaining vocal coach reaction video. I really enjoyed your reaction to Nightwish. I hope you react to more in the future.
Next song, EPICA ft. Floor - Sancta Terra You want orchestra and everything included this kind of music, here it is, with 2 ladies top notch within symphonic rock
You're going to absolutely love this video when you watch it again and don't talk over all of her amazing singing! You're going to be mind blown! It's going to be wonderful!
The commentary tended to smother much of the singing. Sadly. Perhaps watch it first, make notes and THEN talk about it at the end ! I stopped watching this review after 6 minutes .
She is awful...she watched Grammy award winner Yebba's amazing performance of My Mind, and felt the need to diss the way she was dressed. Me thinks she likes herself a WHOLE bunch...

Floor dropped another bomb in a dutch program called Beste zanger van Nederland. She did a duet Phantom of the opera score, and hits a few notes that are only for the greats among us...
That was insane.
Thank you for recommending that.
more nightwishhh
oh boy can she zang
I love it when someone gets introduced to Nightwish.
Floor is such a badass, probably the only person on the planet who could have been a true successor to Tarja.
>a true successor to Tarja
nope
@@rawdez_ Floor is much more versatile than Tarja, it's not even a contest.
@@Harolddespui When it comes to pure operatic style, Tarja is better. Not by much, but better.
@@stapelchips6559 Floor will do 'Phantom of the Opera' next week on Beste Zangers, let's hear.
@@Harolddespui I have heard Floor singing operas before. She is extremly good with that and in general easily one of the best singers in the world.
But when it comes to opera she is not as good as Tarja. Maybe it is because Tarja is a trained operatic singer and floor is not.
Nightwish is something special, all-around special. This song gives me chills every time.
She should react to the new Singer Nightwish as well.
Nicolas Cardillo New singer?
@@Juvahh Sorry I misspoke (Quarentime life n I was abit high) I meant previous singer "Tarja Turunen" the first female singer on Nightwish. I personally prefer Floor but Nemo still my favor song by them n Tarja n her Phantom of the Opera was fantastic. I saw them in cousert when Tarja was there singer n I was the greats saw I have ever gone to.
Nicolas Cardillo Hahaha that’s alright. I was already thinking “did they replace Floor too? Please nooo!”, lol.
I used to like Tarja a lot (been in 2 Nightwish concerts myself and loved them, both with Tarja), but while I didn’t get to like Anette so much, I’m really enjoying Floor singing. I didn’t see Anette live, but I absolutely gotta see NW again now with Floor. It seems to me that she’s a more versatile singer than Tarja was... she was awesome, but more focused on the “operatic” part.
Anyways, Nightwish always was and is a fabulous band with exceptional live performances. Let’s hope we get the chance to keep watching them live many times!
"What's your range?"
Floor: "yes."
lame.
@@derekpratt4055 Jelly xD
Accurate 🤘🏼
@@kalabell12 In fact, her range spans 4 octaves.
Pathetic. In Tarja Laughing.
Every member of the band has a master's degree in music theory
I had the absolute privilege of seeing them live twice. They are amazing, incredible, wonderful. I cried many times. I also got to meet them which was a mind blowing experience. They are truly incredible.
im hoping to meet them next time they come around where i live! i'm pretty sure i'll faint, but it'll be 100% worth it.
I've had the privilege of seeing them live 3 times now (once with Anette, 10 days before she left the band and Floor took over)
Floor is classically trained and is also a voice coach in her own right.
She saw it all and made cogent comments. My only criticism is that she talked over some the most important voicing at the magnificent end of the song.
For that, hear the original video.
If you sea a video of Tara, lots of technical explanations are in it. I think that's why people are here.
@@Delibro Lots of other voice coaches presses space and switches into speech mode. Then presses space again to return to listen mode. They tend to catch more details by being 100% focused on listening.
And we too enjoy it better to not have the talk overlaying the music.
Floor is a goddess. Before the release of their last album, this was her favorite Nightwish song. She was performing her favorite song at the largest metal festival in the world--and she bleeding NAILED it.
You need to check out "Greatest Show on Earth" by Nightwish. It's her best vocal performance to date (in my opinion).
I've seen them live thrice, and it's spiritual.
The recording of this song from Buenos Aires in 2012 is astonishing. She'd only just joined the band full-time and people were clearly uncertain about the new singer, but by the end of this song she OWNED Argentina. :D The crowd's on their feet chanting "Floor! Floor! Floor! Floor!" One of the most magnificent vocal moments in rock.
NIGHTWISH is Spectacular live! This was about an hour and a half into this concert! The Wacken 2013 show was impeccable in its entirety. You should react to more Nightwish live...
I would recommend The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembely 2015. It is a absolute musical masterpiece and it showcases Floor's diverse vocal talents.
Yep, @Tara, @Tony Lapore and others are right. You're totally ready for The Poet and The Pendulum at Wembley 2015. Buckle up...
I have seen them performing Ghost Love Score in 2015 at the M'era Luna Festival.
It was so amazing!
People go 'round and 'round about which recording is best, but I come down on the Buenos Aires show the previous year. When she hits *THAT* note in Ghost Love Score it's like slamming at high speed into a block wall made entirely of awesomeness. 😀 Time, space, and sound all converge and it's like nothing I've ever heard.
Tara, one of the things that is not mentioned very often is that this is a 15 song set and this performance was song number 13 in the set. Thus, she is doing all of those wonderful technical things, such as breath control, etc, after about an hour of performing. Now not all of Nightwish's songs are this long, but there are a lot of them that are similar in the amount of effort that Floor and the band have to put out on stage. The whole band is just amazing.
Check next The Poet And The Pedulum live from Webley and enjoy great music and vocals with so much emotion.
100% agree with this comment
That's a great song but never saw the live performance. I will have to check it now.
Yes Please!
React to Nightwish - The poet and the pendulum (Live in Wembley), that's a must. 🤟
Hi Tera. That song was 90 minutes into their set. Also, the audience numbered 83,000. I love your reaction videos!
Even more impressive is this is after songs like romanticide as well
Have never clicked on a video so fast! So glad you reacted to Nightwish, and glad you enjoyed it!
Well, Floor has a bachelors' degree in performance arts (Rock academy), so she definitely knows how to sing. She's also inherently talented and best thing to ever come out of my country that's not sports (Floor ranks higher though, it's a shame so very few Dutch people know of her).
True!
Vocal Coach: This almost feels theatrical, in a way
Nightwish: Gurrl, *we ARE the goddamn theater*
But yet, not Dream....
@@jongalt26 HA!
The Greatest Show on Earth ;)
The whole point of that imaginaerum (or whatever it's written) tour was to be theatrical, a circus like show.
Jason nah, they are the Greatest Show on Earth 🤷🏼♂️
Tuomas is the keyboardist, that pipe thing is just a fancy front for his keys.
ferretmom66 Yeah, but Troy, who plays pipes for them, is an official band member. So her statement is still accurate; maybe she spotted Troy at the back of the stage early on, even though he wasn’t a part of this song? She certainly seems to have done some research on the band prior to watching the video.
@@DarkJediPrincess I think there's a bit of Troy's work around 7:20. There is actually a great example of the Uilleann pipes in a different song during this concert: Last of the Wilds.
Yeah, uilleann pipes are the Irish version of bagpipes...most European countries have some version of the bagpipes.
I don't think Troy was a full time member of the band at this point - he did the pipe pieces, as well we other instruments, as a session musician IIRC
Most female vocalist: I can sing
After hearing Floor Jansen: I cant sing

@@catherinegoulet4263 After Forever was great, I used to listen to Energize Me all the time. So glad Nightwish managed to bring her on board after Annette left.
I have never heard of this group before but I am a fan now.
If you love this line-up then watch any live recording from 2013 onward (actually she jointed them right in the middle of their American part of their worldtour in 2012). they have had 3 vocalist 1 Tarja (mainly operatic she was with them until 2005 a very good vocalist) and Anette Olzon (very average singer with a rather disappointing live voice IMHO). Futhermore Floor had been the lead vocalist of "After Forever" and "Revamp" before she jointed them. This is were the band knew her from because she had been on tour with them as part of the support band and had become close friends. Both of her previous bands are also worth a look.
Ooohhh there goes YOUR weekend....Enjoy!!!
Their latest album is brilliant. Buy it !

And this song was at the end of 70 to 80 minutes concert ....she is brilliant
Ghost Love Score its not just a music, its a monument built in space and time
Uh...OK.
It sure is. I almost came when I first heard it in 5.1 DTS format. Absolutely transcendental experience. Of course with the original Tarja's vocals. I like Anette and Floor, but they can't outperform her in that song.

@Talsong Kingslayer go away from my comment. Many people love Floor more than Tarja
@Talsong Kingslayer I have all the albums and blu ray of Tarja but, Nightwish today, only with Floor.
@Talsong Kingslayer I'm sorry but that's not true, Floor is a lot better than Tarja, maybe not in opera style, but Floor can do whatever she wants, but Tarja can just sing opera, that's all. Nightwish is free now to do whatever they want, wich is great because the band have a lot more to offer that just the type of music that they used to do.
Also you can watch an interview to Troy, he said that Floor can sing anything, wich is not the case for Tarja, so yeah Floor is a lot better singer than Tarja.
@Talsong Kingslayer no floor🤗👍
Floor is a Titaness, period point blank. She has the body of an Amazon warrior, the mind of an Einstein, and the voice of a Goddess.
Now that you've heard Floor sing let me suggest "Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show" and you can enjoy more Floor and discover Simone Simons ethereal voice at the same time.

Please pause the song when you want to comment
About the huge crowd ... This recording took place at the "Wacken open air", europe's (if not the world's) biggest Metal open air festival.
This "recording" is right. Most of the sounds you're hearing are being piped in rather than being played live.
@@tontoepstein6860 You are wrong. Yes, some backing choirs and symphonic parts are played from backing track. But not as much as you think. Tuomas has fancy keyboard and if you focus on him, a lot of symphonic parts (especially strings) are played by him. I maybe looks like his keyboard can't be heard, but it is not true. He is playing a lot of backing symphonic parts. Only it is not so obvious...
@@FadedLightBluePink I'm not "wrong." If you want to hear how they'd really sound without the ridiculous amount of backing tracks, then find the videos of them on their 2004 American club tour, and then compare it to their last show in Finland in 2005 that was recorded for video and reeked of prerecorded backing tracks.
@@tontoepstein6860 the main reason is that touring with a full orchestra and choir is logistically difficult and expensive. They only seek to make the live performance sound as faithful as possible to the studio recording. Covering all bases imo. No worse than rap/hip hop "artists" shamelessly stealing outright and sampling music from others to create their own worthless hits and making gazillions. At least Nightwish are really talented musicians. And this is a pretty gloriously epic performance.
@@rickleblanc8900 Why are you comparing them to rap artists, that's a concert joke, tool They don't need to pay a full orchestra, they need to play live with whatever they've got. If they can't do that, then don't tour.
You need to see there version of " Phantom of the Opera".
here is a live version: th-cam.com/video/I7WlqE6ETBI/w-d-xo.html
This was when Tarja Turunen was still with the Nightwish. so slightly different vocals. I forgot the had a new lead. Tarja also has some amazing song that she did on her own as well. Very worth the listen.
@Jorge Conceição Yes, she does. But it's not the same. Not that its bad, but clearly Phantom of the Opera is owned by Tarja. Just like with Ghost Love Score, Tarja sung it, but Floor's version is what its known for.

Honestly, nightwish are the most talented band of the last 20 years, but still dont have the recognition they deserve. They have album after album of incredibly delicate yet extremely technical anthems
jOSzhi EQ don’t forget within temptation and epica
Epica are pretty badass, but still not up there with Nightwish. And within temptation aren't even use to the heights of Nightwish
My marching band did a Nightwish set for my sophomore year. We did “Sahara”, “Islander”, “Escapist”(Concert addition only), and “Moondance”. We NEVER lost a single competition during that set.
Is there a video of that I would like to see that
Robert Schneider it was back in 2004, not sure we have video from that far back, lol!
Lucario007 how is that possible? The Islander, Sahara and Escapist are all dark passion play era songs. In 2004 Once was released, Tarja was still the singer and none of those three songs were written.
No bloody wonder you didn't lose - you brought a tank to a fistfight!
@@smayds Well, we were going against 5A schools that had 350+ members in their band, so we needed all the ammunition we could get.

She taught for years, sang professionally with success for over 20 years, and is a vocal coach during her downtime. So yeah, she's both technical and emotional.
First time I've heard Nightwish's show described as minimalistic.
lol
I was thinking the same thing lol
Nightwish has had multiple very different sounding vocalists during their very successful career (Tarja Turunen & Anette Olzon. Also their bass player Marco Hietala has a killer voice and features on some songs). If you feel like it, it might be fun to try and analyze some side-to-side comparisons of different singers doing the same songs live, and commenting on their technical differences!
Why bother? They're all singing to backing tracks, it's impossible to do a comparison.
Her: "I'm probably gonna try to talk over some instrumentals, *if there are any in here*..."
Me: That's obviously her first Nightwish Song - and there's a lot of talking ahead 😂.
I understand your comment 😂✨👍🏼
I'm not so sure, she has obviously done some research because she picked Troy out straightaway
@@Tomtraubert2009 nah she just thought tuomas was troy and the organ fascia were pipes
I can't understand how you can listen to her singing that chorus and talk and think about technique instead of just getting goose bumps and feel like flying in another dimension
How can she hear anything she spoke like the entire time
Nightwish - Phantom of the Opera! This performance is with the original Nightwish singer along with the bassist on the male vocals! Great reaction.
Jukka's one of the most dynamic drummers out there. He's also so much fun to watch. Sad that he can't tour any more due to insomnia.
Ohhh!!!! That explains alot. He is great though! So sad. I saw them last year with the drummer from Wintersun. That was quite a treat!!!!
I never really bought into that, there's plenty of things you can take to sleep, I've been an Insomniac for 42 years
What society dictates Blows ah but are you a drummer in a high profile band though? You know it’s like a top sport don’t you? I have insomnia too and if I’m not taking sleeping pills, I’m tired of sleep deprivation and if I do take them I’m groggy and hungover. Don’t know which feeling is worse. Sometimes walking the stairs even takes my breath away. So yeah I do believe he had to quit his job due to insomnia. God knows he’s not the only one. But if you’re not having any troubles, care to elaborate on your secret? I’m sure we insomniacs are dying to know this miracle solution
Didn't know that he plays for insomnium now

Me: "Sure it's (just) Wacken :D"
That is one festival I would like to attend one day. It would be hella expensive, but worth it.
I have yet to see a Vocal Coach on TH-cam who was not seriously impressed with Floor's singing.
Well thats because she is, objectively, one of the greatest singers alive right now. If you watch Best Zangers you will see that all the professionals singers there, even the legend that is Hank Poort, were absolutly impressed by her.
Theres one reviewing the duet with Henk poort, she said she heard way better versions but lacked to say the names of those performers.
@@realeyesrealizereallies1176 it comes down to personal taste I guess, she didn't say they sung badly just that she preferred the more classical approach from the musical, she was very complimentary of Ghost Love Score. I think it was Opera singer reviews or something like that.
Just saw Linor Oren on the Beste Zangers duet with Henk Poort and Phantom of the Opera. She was not that impressed, but I think mostly irritated since she was expecting the original Andrew Lloyd Webber composition.
Please react to Epica - Sancta Terra live with Floor Jansen ❤
This. It is a great example of Floor and how she interacts with others. And a great performance as well.
YES!!! React to Epica!!
With the added bonus of being exposed to the beautiful and very talented redhead SImone Simons.
Yes please!
I second this request 😀
This is how we Dutch roll! Viva la Floor! A true Floorgasm!
People who don't play themselves might think that it's easier to play with a backing track, but actually it takes a whole another level of musicianship to pull it off. You can't fail even once or everyone and their grandmother will notice it. Especially the drummer, he keeps the group together or not.
funny how everyone is like "I never thought metal could sound like that!" Well yes folks hear that. Nightwish, Within Temptation and waaay more.
Yeah, people exclude music based on pre assumptions.. Someone heard a death metal tune in passing and thinks all Heavy Metal sounds the same. Nice though that some, at least, gets the wake up call and an opportunity to enjoy something new to them.
Helli We I guess most have never heard Iron Maiden before.
Chill dudes. Metal is good for those who love it. I would never listen to any metal were it not for Tarja. Don't care much for Simone or Sharon and their bands. They sound like girls with sweet voices singing pretty songs compared to Tarja, a woman with great timbre and tone who really made Nightwish sounds majestic and soulful. Without Tarja, Nightwish sounds like a technically good band playing bombastic and over wrought music. Still good. But no "magic" and distinctiveness as a symphonic metal band.
I NEVER CLICKED LIKE BUTTON FASTER AND HARDER, BEFORE EVEN WATCHING THE VIDEO! I'm so happy you finally reacted to metal goddess Floor Jansen and I'm so happy you loved the complete band, since you mostly react on pop artists. The amazing fact is that Floor was singing very vocally demanding songs for an hour already, before singing Ghost love score and she doesn't even sound tired a bit. That's how great her technique is and her stage presence is awesome, she was totally commanding that crowd with her magic! The highest note she's hitting in the song fans named "Floorgasm"! :D Thank you for reacting!
Floor is pathetic if we compare her with Taria. Try listening the same songs and you will hear the difference, Floor's voice is much weaker. There is only one Valkyrie.
@@1Predatel1 You've noticed that except for yourself, no one here in dozens of comments has made any kind of comparison between Floor and Tarja. If you do not like it, do not see it, simple. Even if I prefer Floor to Tarja or Anette, that does not give me the right to insult them. I tell you, Tarja's voice was the reason I became a Nightwish fan, and when she left, I moved away from them for a few years. Until I hear Floor ... As many say, she is a Goddess, she is simply the meeting of the best vocal attributes of Tarja, along with Anette, with the bonus of rock voice she as. And therefore, she has an improved singing technique, and her presence on stage is sublime, the audience gets mesmerized. But this is just my opinion and personal taste, I will not go around saying that the others are pathetic. It is a matter of RESPECT.
"The Greatest Show on Earth" live at Tampere by Nightwish is an absolute masterpiece. I think you'll love it.

2 - Yes, that drummer is killing it. Always does.
3 - Yes, the rest of the band are also serious musicians.
4 - So is Floor, but like, on turbo.
5 - Watch The Poet and the Pendulum.
6 - Then watch The Greatest Show on Earth.
7 - Then have a drink and a cigarette.
8 - If you need to come down easy from your Floorgasm, try Epica - Sancta Terra w/Floor.
Followed your instructions. Floorgasm well and truly achieved. I'll take that drink and cigarette now, and I don't even smoke.
@Tara, WOW it took you a while to get here, but *so glad* you did! Hehehe, watch out....you're about to be bombarded with requests from the Nightwish family. I'm looking forward to it!!!!
Great video. Love your facial expression at 9:49 when she hits her note. The word "Floorgasm" is often used when describing her vocals, and now you know why :)
Haha!!!😂😂
It's really touching when the audience star screaming when she is holding the scream.
*insert Ann Waychoff'*
Welcome to the Nightwish Nation! The band has been around since 1996 and pioneered the Symphonic Metal genre. The band was created by the keyboardist and composer, Tuomas Holopainen, who writes 95% of the music and lyrics, with the others being Marco (bassist). The singer is Floor Jansen, a legend in the metal world. The last note she hits is what we call a Floorgasm.
This song is a sweeping epic love song with truly poetic lyrics. There is SO MUCH to this band that you'd appreciate if you react to more of their videos. Most people are going to try and sway you towarsd "Poet and the Pendulum", but I recommend you check out "Story Time" or "Romanticide" both from this show Wacken 2013. You'll be even MORE amazed at what Floor can do on those songs. She is also capable of growls (see "Yours Is An Empty Hope" official live video).
Hahahaha
Now it feels like a real Nightwish reaction video. ;-)
Thank you "Ann!"
@Adam Blackstone
"The band was created by the keyboardist and composer, Tuomas Holopainen"
But
What about Tarja Turunen and Emppu Vuorinen? They're all co-founders!
Tuomas had the idea in his mind already and then asked Jukka and Emppu who were on board. Then asked Tarja. They all make up the band but he started it and it is following his vision / direction but with consideration of the other members input of course.
Was glad to hear you giving Jukka shout out. He's an amazing drummer. His energy behind the kit is second to none
ya you talked through it all
Night Wish history can be pretty much be summed up in one word prior to Floor's arrival - DRAMA. Aside from Floor's vocals and stage presence, which fits the essence of Night Wish perfectly, she also brought a calming influence from the storms of the past. In watching her Paris 2018 interview on the Duke TV channel, I was struck by the feeling of calm that I get when she speaks. She takes no individual credit for the band's success and attributes it all to her bandmates. Her statement was something to the effect that she is merely another instrument on the stage, just like everyone else. All the Night Wish musicians have a reputation of being perfectionists, but I think Floor took them to another level since they know she's going to "bring it" on every song of every performance which pushes them all to step up. As I studied the facial expressions and interaction of the band members during the 15 song 1.5 hour Wacken '13 performance (Ghost Love Score was #13) it was obvious they knew early on in the performance that they had found their replacement for Annette.
great reaaction, you nailed it
Listen to some of Epica! Simone Simons is a great singer too and even has duos with Floor Jansen (Sancta Terra live is fantasitc!). Try Essence of Silence (official live video), The Obsessive Devotion (official live video), The Phantom Agony (Retrospect) or Chasing the Dragon (Retrospect). Pregnant in a few of those and still killing it. And lastly Consign to Oblivion live at the Zenith for mindblowing showmanship.
PS: Isn't symphonic metal the awesomest thing ever? Yes. Yes it is. It's the best mix ever.
No, your use of the word "awesomest" is.
My Queen Goddess casually mass healing her audience!
Floor Jenson is Amazing singer love her voice . Great reaction to NightWish .Tara you could sing like her love to see that.
Her Name is Floor Jansen not Jenson!
Floor Jansen is/was a vocal coach herself. She did it for years to make ends meet. Her discipline and stamina was born out of years on the road in various bands.
Now she's in Nightwish playing arenas and stadiums and probably doesn't have much time left to do lessons these days. Not to mention she's now a mother.
What still blows me away is that Floor was a temporary replacement for vocalist Anette Olzon when this was recorded. Floor initially replaced Anette on their North America tour and then did Wacken Open Air. There's a 2 hour documentary about Floor's first days as a 'only-live' member called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours". A month after this recording it was announced Floor would be a permanent band member. Also, that's a crowd of 85.000 people.
Awesome song and man is that band massively talented.
And now, react to Poet and the Pendulum, live at Wembley ✌🏻
I have seen alot of concerts in my day but Nightwish is right up there with the greats . I don't know any artist right now who could out sing or out shine Floor or Nightwish .
I saw Nightwish in concert last year and it was THE BEST concert I've ever been to. I even got to meet them. They are so cool and were very nice to me. I was shaking and nervous but they made me feel very welcome. Seeing them in concert and meeting them was number 1 on my bucket list.
YYYYEEEEESSSSSSS! I knew you'd have a lot to dig into on this performance. Floor Jansen is an amazingly talented singer and that entire concert was killer between her and the musicians in the band. As other people are saying, when you come back to Nightwish, please please please react to The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley. Its another one of their epic, symphonic songs that's packed with amazing musicianship, singing and emotion.
That or I'd love to hear you react to Lisa Fischer - "How Can I Ease The Pain" ( Live )
Dont comment on perfection please, she does not need any advice from vocal coaches, she's a vocal coach herself, and a goddess,
Nightwish is a "Symphonic Metal" band. Floor is a classically trained singer as well as a vocal coach herself. The last note she sang is known in the Nightwish community as the "Floorgasm." Welcome to the fold!
'This is very symphonic' .. Yeh who would have thought that from the nr1 symphonic metal band in the world :D Haha! Awesome!
You talked through the high note, never saw anyone do that before and miss it.
yeah right.
i can relate. she's been talking through some great moments. the constant talking without pausing the video was irritating to say the least.
She talked through the whole video. She's really quite sickening to watch. Another failed singer doing vocal coaching.
@@randypeters366 😂😂😂😂🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
YAASS finally! I’ve been waiting a year for this! Welcome to the world of symphonic metal. Nightwish is one of the biggest of the sub genre and they’re a live band, mostly. Their live is better than the studio. I would highly recommend The Poet and the Pendulum Live at Wembley, it’s a longer but is phenomenal.
Thank you, Tara, Thank you. I've been waiting for this since I started getting into vocal coach reaction videos. I love how you point things out. It comes off as the most professional, yet entertaining vocal coach reaction video. I really enjoyed your reaction to Nightwish. I hope you react to more in the future.
I thought you said you might talk over the music. Not over the complete vocals.
The poet and the Pendulum, The greatest show on earth, Ever dream, Romanticide, Yours is an empty hope.
Skip the last. She doesn't like growling.
100% she needs to do Greatest Show on Earth. A masterpiece for the ages.
Next song,
EPICA ft. Floor - Sancta Terra
You want orchestra and everything included this kind of music, here it is, with 2 ladies top notch within symphonic rock
You're going to absolutely love this video when you watch it again and don't talk over all of her amazing singing! You're going to be mind blown! It's going to be wonderful!
The commentary tended to smother much of the singing. Sadly. Perhaps watch it first, make notes and THEN talk about it at the end ! I stopped watching this review after 6 minutes .
She is awful...she watched Grammy award winner Yebba's amazing performance of My Mind, and felt the need to diss the way she was dressed. Me thinks she likes herself a WHOLE bunch...
