A real pleasure for me to start my day with an enthusiastic reaction to GLS! Thank you so much for coming back to Nightwish for more! I'm sure you'll have fun watching this unique band.
Your reaction to this tells me you would really enjoy Floor's own video in which she explains all the vocal choices she made throughout this performance. It is available on her own YT channel and is well worth watching for someone like you. As to the lyrics, the story outline is told in the choral part which starts "IF you be the one to cut me THEN I'll bleed forever" and in the ending changes to "You WERE the one to cut me SO I'll bleed forever". A song of the ghost of love, not of the love of a ghost 🙂 Something like 18 modulations in this song and Floor, 10 months into het time with the band, and not yet a permanent member, sings it flawlessly. She even added her own ending - the original didn't have the dramatic ending, which she introduced, with Tuomas' approval, shortly after joining the band and which is now standard (though she varies it very slightly in most performances). As to America, you won't catch Nightwish on tour anywhere for some time as the new album coming on September 20th is not going to be supported by a tour, unusually for Nightwish. But, as it happens, they have played 125 shows in the US, 20 in Mexico and 36 in Canada so the North American continent is not a stranger to Nightwish live, though few Americans seem aware of them. And you still haven't reached my top 6 even with this one which may give you some idea of how good they are, but cannot prepare you for the number 1 masterpiece which will come later.
I think floors versatility is what stands out most to me when compared to other singers. She can sing in almost any style, sound legit doing it, and in 8 different languages. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but every song in this performance (Wacken 2013) was written for one of the previous two singers and she made them all her own.
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Gulf Coast Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
This explains the spaceship with the keyboards in it. And did you see that viking with the hairs? And that lady? Let's face it, we earthlings don't sing like that! And those eighty thousand in the crowd were clearly hypnotized. I think it is caused by the goosebumps.
if you think that G#5 at the end was impressive, check out this cover of Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort, the original phantom in the Dutch productions. th-cam.com/video/TM23gaT4zkY/w-d-xo.html
This is usually the song that sets the hook, but I'm glad you were impressed enough yesterday with 'The Greatest Show on Earth" to come back for more. No stopping now. Love the reaction. It's always fun to watch people discover this great band.
Great reaction - I enjoyed seeing the happy wonder in your eyes. I wish I could be in your shoes (as a new initiate to Nightwish) so I could experience that first journey of discovery once again, but second best is seeing others enjoy is. Plenty of pleasant Nightwish surprises lie in store for you. You've seen 2 of their longer songs but they pack a lot into the shorter ones too.
So miss A yes you were just floored by the Dutch windmill floor Jansen because she is from Holland where they have windmills and she is tall like a windmill and likes to spin her head like a windmill. So may you continue on your nightwish rabbit hole. Wintersun Alex ❄️👋❤️
Greetings from Hamburg, Germany 🤘 New subscriber, indeed 🫶 I was a bit tiered with reactions to the outstanding music of Nightwish. Too many react only for the fame, like and shares. This is different with you. Authentic, enthusiastic and with a good eye/ear for details. Good job 👏🫶
I am so happy you've finally gotten a chance to give this rabbit hole a go, Amie! Welcome to the ride! Nightwish Army, Deep South division, present and accounted for! Love it!!!!!
Welcome from the Nightwish Army - Arkansas USA Division here to watch you smile and enjoy this fun band. Because Ghost Love Score has so many views it is often the first song of Nightwish re-actors view. It's one of so many many songs from this concert and several other concerts. Nightwish is one of those rare bands that is best Live. Their studio work and music videos can't capture the energy and how much fun the fans are having. If Gabriel hasn't contacted you yet with his band info and a play list you can use to help your way down the rabbit hole, he will soon. All of us Nightwish fans have been where you are, we remember how much fun it was to be introduced to this great music. We'll all be here with you na for you along the way. Enjoy every second of the journey you're about to embark. Have Fun !
welcome to the rabbit hole! Always good to see new reactors for Nightwish, because I know you will be here for a while - and I will follow you like a shadow. Because you are good!
Nightwish army Finland reporting 🤘🎶🔥 thanks for continuing the epic journey with the most amazing band ever ❤😊 with the composer Tuomas Holopainen, you can't expect anything else than a amazing musical experience 🎶🎹
This whole concert is epic , i bought the CD of this the day after hearing this song last summer , i cant help shadow drumming whenever i hear this , big shout out to the drummer
Perfect reaction from you 👍 And you are spot on - Floor's voice is not only used for storytelling - it is also a part of the instrumentation. You must re-listen to The Greatest Show on Earth later on, on this journey - here it is obvious to you how she is a part of the sound effects (growling, high humming eg). On their last World tour, they ended each session with this - no singing - just Floor and the instruments (From World Lands Trust) Ad astra th-cam.com/video/a0IU_aPhZ5E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6LSDPDftqux8uv28 And here she holds the last note for 18!!! Seconds.... th-cam.com/video/EUmYcSkKuL0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DIFrkx5AlP0sMTyB
Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome to one of the most rewarding musical rabbit holes you will find. A journey worth making. The pipes surrounding Tuomas’s keyboards is decorative, to give a calliope, carnival feel for this particular tour. Enjoy the ride!
Thank you for another lovely reaction! Nightwish were the headline act at Wacken Open Air Festival in 2013. That crowd they are playing to is around 82,000 people. Floor had only been with the band for around 10 months when they performed that show. This was her introduction to Europe as the lead vocalist with Nightwish. If you're interested, during covid Floor actually did a reaction video of this specific performance of Ghost Love Score. It has some great background on how she was feeling, as she was also performing for the largest crowd she had ever had at that time. Here's a link to her reaction video, from her own TH-cam channel: th-cam.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7Re81nzTPa1D4hL3
The very best live performance of all times performed by the very best band in combination with the very best Female singer in this part of the universe. Floor is unique. She tears you up. Eternal goosebumps. Chills beyond imagination. Try everything from her. And try everything from Nightwish. And of course she participates in that other epic project called Ayreon, together with all those other Goddesses like Simone Simons, Anneke van Giersbergen, Irene Jansen ( her sister), Marcela Bovio etc etc etc. And yes, the Dutch metal and progrock scene will blow your mind. And yes, Marko Hietala ( the former bass player from Nightwish) can be found within Ayreon as well. Life is Beautiful. Check out "the greatest show on earth " from Nightwish as well. Read the lyrics too. I stop now. I start brabbeling from pure enthousiasm. Happy hunting!
Hi Amie! Welcome to the Nightwish Army! Please keep going with this amazing group. I would also be very interested to see your reaction to Floor and Simone Simons singing the 13th century hymn Stabat Mater Dolorosa. Especially with your musical acuity and religious background.
Floor did a reaction to this on her own TH-cam channel. Wherein she talks about the need to compose herself and keep the adrenaline under control. Enjoyed your reaction.
Hello Amie! Thank you for this great reaction. It was such fun seeing your face, your enthusiasm, your laughter when the band did something unexpected. It made me smile throughout. The pipes around the keyboards are a tribute to the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. They resemble his monument in Helsinki which consist of 600 welded pipes together in a wavy movement. I hope you will react to "She's my sin" from this Wacken concert. Just before they did this song Marko, the bassist, introduced Floor to the audience as it was the first time a lot of people in Europe got to see and hear her. During the first 2 songs the crowd was a bit in an wait-and-see mood but when NW started "She's my sin" the crowd exploded more or less. I really like the vibe in this song. Greetings from The Netherlands!
when you come to Ever dream song you will hear her high range! But here we have not only incredible range, she controls the timbre and does what and when she wants, deciding what emotion she wants to express, It's incredible!
I would also suggest Ayreon for amazing live performances with a variety of singers and instrumentalists. *Just -The day that the world breaks down- I would recommend the non-live version. As the selection of singers suits the song a lot better + all the amazing trivia included in the official music vid.
Floor Jansen, master of all genres. My favorite singer and band. Tuomas (keyboards, founder, composer) is the Metal Mozart that created this experience and no matter which song you pick, it will be outstanding. 😄🤘
Not an actual pipe organ. Just a fancy keyboard stand (and wine rack!). He has a couple of Korg synthesizer boards back there. And a bottle of cabernet sauvignon. It is modelled after a famous sculpture on the grounds of the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland.
Thank you for your great reactions and greetings from Finland, home of Nightwish and northern shamans. I've been on the Nightwish journey for more than twenty years, I've been to Live concerts of each of their vocalists several times, and yet they still impress me. I believe that you have also found a life-long partner.. I am looking forward to your first LIVE meeting. It will be incredible and unforgettable. At least I hope we get it one day. Now this shaman of the north goes into the nightless night of midsummer together with millions of like-minded people. Be well.
Hi ! So fine to watch a reaction in which is comprehension of music on the level like yours. My low level music understanding loves to hear your comments. So here is a new subscriber for you, for your pro. comments and cause you decided to follow NW path here. Greets from Finland. All the best in your own music.
Nightwish Army Costa Rica división here. You just summon the army of the best live band there is. With a frontwomen of the level of a goddess. Get ready to enter a journey of epic music at its best.
I loved your reaction, and felt the same way when I discovered Floor and Nightwish. I am such a fan now, and they are all so good! Liked and subbed for your Nightwish/Floor journey.
Made me happy watching your reaction .. I've seen this video/reactions to it at least a couple hundred times .. you managed to carry me along for your first ride!
Nice that you liked this and greetings from Finland 🇫🇮 You shold see or Even Make long reaction to : "please learn the setlist in 48 hours reaction" about how Floor became as singer to Nightwish 🖤
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen(Yansen). Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill, Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour. 'Please learn the setlist in 48 hours Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solo tour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album 'My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton) daughters Freja (turned 7 years this march) and Lucy (born last october) ,a couple of horses, dogs and cats. Welcome to NightWish and the NightWish army will come. NightWish army member from Texas
Awesome reaction! Love your enthusiasm. I just knew you would love this band after your first reaction. You have just seen a bit more of what the best singer on the planet can do, but there’s still more to come!
👋 from the UK 🇬🇧 division of the Nightwish army something you might like to check out floor jansens friends ( Simone simons) band called epica it's another symphonic metal band but from Holland 🇳🇱 Epica unleashed live retrospect show ( full orchestra on stage with the band ) Epica sancta terra with floor jansen live retrospect show ( floor singing as a guest with the band) This one is much heavier epica consign to oblivion live at the zenith Paris

Romanticide, 12. Amaranth, 13. Ghost Love Score, 14. Song of Myself, 15. Last Ride of the Day Audience in this concert was 82k+
This song is something special. Those transitions are really great, Floors demonstration of power, tone, clean sound, classical elements, all of them just focused 100%, everything is just top class. It cant be better than this. And her scream et the end-damn. Fans call that Floorgasm (Floor hitting those high notes). Nightwish is spectacular
We knew that you would like it 😁Oh, and about Floor getting "gritty". Remember in The Greatest Show on Earth when you were in the jungle surrounded by animals grunting and growling? The lowest growls were coming from Floor, not Troy and Marko...
Hey Amie, Nice and good reaction 😃😇😍👍🏻 Floor Jansen is sooo good and she is from the Netherlands 🤗😃🥰🥳 I'm also from the Netherlands and she is big in the Netherlands 😃😇 - NIGHTWISH - Storytime (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) is also big song with Floor Jansen 🥳 She did also dutch program called Beste Zangers 🤗😇
Hi Amie, greetings from the Uk and here to follow your Nightwish journey. Have also had a listen to your songs and love the song Holy. Will check out some more on your channel . Subscribed !
G'day from OZ! Sure you ain't part Aussie? Top reaction! Tuomas' keyboard stand (the pipes) used to shoot flames and fireworks. Best damn gig of the decade - maybe the Century! Floor really is the mother of 2 girls - Freya and Lucy - in Norse mythology, her being the mother of Freya makes her the Goddess Nerthus (like Gaia!) big lungs! This was 13 of 15 songs! Stamina too! The tour was 572 days long for the guys! I think you know why they call Tuomas THE Metal Mozart!!
Really enjoyed your reaction! The pipe structure is a keyboard stand for Tuomas's (keyboardist/composer) Korg keyboards. No audio coming out of the pipes. Modeled on the Sibelius Monument in Helsinki, Finland. Jean Sibelius is a famous Finnish classical composer and Tuomas is big fan. This concert, in front of 82,000 people, was Floor's introduction to Nightwish's huge European fanbase. Floor had joined the band 10 months earlier mid tour after a falling out with their previous lead singer. In 48 hours she flew from the Netherlands to America, learned the whole setlist, and then did her first show with Nightwish in Seattle, WA. There is a documentary on YT called Learn the Setlist in 48 hours that covers her joining the band. The previous 10 months had been mostly touring in North and South America with a couple of small shows in Europe before Wacken. Floor was well known by many of the European fans from her previous bands After Forever and Revamp. People were eager to see how the two would combine and Floor just blew everyone away from the beginning. Checkout the show opener Dark Chest of Wonders. As a musician I think you would appreciate this analysis by a classical composer explaining from a musical theory perspective why this song is so epic. th-cam.com/video/-ql4Y12xbck/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PoS1LSFiXEgHTC5s. It is one of many examples of Tuomas's genius compositionally. For your next Nightwish song you should do Yours is an Empty Hope, live from Wembley. This will give you another side of Floor's voice. Listen carefully during the chorus to see hear which part Marko is singing and which Floor is singing. Since you enjoy this kind of music so much may I recommend another fantastic symphonic metal band, Epica. Female fronted with a classically trained singer. They are from the Netherlands. Checkout the song Unleashed from their 10th anniversary live show with a full orchestra and choir on stage. th-cam.com/video/rxd6sxLxdys/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zf9kYyzbWjZzM3Qf.
Great video, can't wait for more. Not sure if you have done "Tool" yet but I highly recommend them Nightwish is my second favorite band of all time to TOOL.
And miss A I wish that you consider to react to nightwishs sister band wintersun from Finland. I would recommend to start off with wintersun 1.5 official lyric video. And after that wintersun time live rehearsal video at Sonic pump studio in Helsinki Finland. So may you begin your wintersun rabbit hole as well where if you think about it if you do react and analize to wintersun think of all of wintersun fans that will become your new subscribers that will help your channel grow that way. So if you love nightwish then you'll love wintersun. Much love wintersun Alex ❄️👋❤️
thanks for this great and wonderful reaction i know floor jansen from the begin with after forever tuomas and all the songwriters are lucky with floor because they can wrote everything because floor can sing it all from soft till very heavy sorry for my english
I just saw a video where a Merkin claimed that the reason Merkins aren't invited to Eurovision is because Merkins are so talented they would blow away all competition. I know you are not all like this, but it is almost as funny as it is infuriating!
@@rolandkarlsson7072 Sorry! "Merkin" is a childish nickname for "American". Literally it was a wig to cover female pubic hair. It was very rude of me to say and I apologise.
Hi Amie, I'm excited for you as you take your first steps down the Nightwish rabbithole. New subscriber as I'll be watching each reaction....... should be good!
Oh, you won't believe how wonderful it is for me to see how much you enjoy this music. That joy and respect for music professionals is just something, ahh so heartwarming. Do you think you are a music professional yourself? thank you for this journey and I know, more is coming😉😍. I will continue the journey with you.
Hi Amie, i loved to see your reaction video of Nightwish. For me they are the best band in the world 😍 I also have another recommendation for you. If you like surprises and prog music, then try this masterpiece of our Dutch genius Arjen Anthony Lucassen with 11 awesome singers (I won't spoil who they are, but i think you will recognize some of them 😉): Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down. Here is the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/w-d-xo.html You will be blown away by all the talented musicians and singers! You won't be dissappointed....I PROMISE! Hope to see your reaction to this masterpiece soon and for now....Greetings, stay safe and lots of love from The Netherlands, Martin.
A real pleasure for me to start my day with an enthusiastic reaction to GLS! Thank you so much for coming back to Nightwish for more! I'm sure you'll have fun watching this unique band.
How could I not come back, nightwish are incredible musicians

@@shannontaylor345 So, you're changing your name :) I hope you're well, girl.
@@Amiekinz4ever I teared up by your comment.
One of the greatest musical performances of our time.
Etalon!
Great Reaction 👍
One of the best live bands to ever exist with a once in a lifetime Frontwoman .....Floor is HER .
She is so good!
Tnx .. just be honest ... enjoy .. and I like your reaction.. They are great and Floor is just Floor 👌Greetings from Amsterdam
Thank you too!
Well.....they will be the number 1 band, worldwide...someday soon...we will all bow for Nightwish!!!
We love our queen, here she put a spell on the fans, as they see her for the first time live, and she owned that stage!!
Great reaction. It's just Nightwish doing Nightwish things - exceptional as always. :)

This is the 13th song of a 15 song set , stamina amazing hence the small breaks
This is my favorite Nightwish song as well as it is for many Nighwish fans. It really showcases Floor's vocals as you heard.
It was amazing
she tall, wears leather, has a cape......and snatch your soul with her voice

*Just -The day that the world breaks down- I would recommend the non-live version. As the selection of singers suits the song a lot better + all the amazing trivia included in the official music vid.
Floor Jansen, master of all genres. My favorite singer and band. Tuomas (keyboards, founder, composer) is the Metal Mozart that created this experience and no matter which song you pick, it will be outstanding. 😄🤘
Greetings from The Netherlands.
Not an actual pipe organ. Just a fancy keyboard stand (and wine rack!). He has a couple of Korg synthesizer boards back there. And a bottle of cabernet sauvignon. It is modelled after a famous sculpture on the grounds of the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland.
Nightwish (Finland) rocks!
Thank you for your great reactions and greetings from Finland, home of Nightwish and northern shamans. I've been on the Nightwish journey for more than twenty years, I've been to Live concerts of each of their vocalists several times, and yet they still impress me. I believe that you have also found a life-long partner.. I am looking forward to your first LIVE meeting. It will be incredible and unforgettable. At least I hope we get it one day. Now this shaman of the north goes into the nightless night of midsummer together with millions of like-minded people. Be well.

It was a few days lol
I loved your reaction, and felt the same way when I discovered Floor and Nightwish. I am such a fan now, and they are all so good! Liked and subbed for your Nightwish/Floor journey.
Thank you so much!!
Made me happy watching your reaction .. I've seen this video/reactions to it at least a couple hundred times .. you managed to carry me along for your first ride!
Wow, thank you
Nice that you liked this and greetings from Finland 🇫🇮 You shold see or Even Make long reaction to : "please learn the setlist in 48 hours reaction" about how Floor became as singer to Nightwish 🖤
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen(Yansen). Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill, Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist.
There is a documentary made of this world tour. 'Please learn the setlist in 48 hours
Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solo tour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album 'My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton) daughters Freja (turned 7 years this march) and Lucy (born last october) ,a couple of horses, dogs and cats. Welcome to NightWish and the NightWish army will come. NightWish army member from Texas
"That" is a decorative keyboard stand!
Awesome reaction!
Love your enthusiasm.
I just knew you would love this band after your first reaction.
You have just seen a bit more of what the best singer on the planet can do, but there’s still more to come!
👋 from the UK 🇬🇧 division of the Nightwish army something you might like to check out floor jansens friends ( Simone simons) band called epica it's another symphonic metal band but from Holland 🇳🇱
Epica unleashed live retrospect show ( full orchestra on stage with the band )
Epica sancta terra with floor jansen live retrospect show ( floor singing as a guest with the band)
This one is much heavier epica consign to oblivion live at the zenith Paris

Nice to see you loving some Nightwish. INCOMING ARMY!
Oh I do love it too
This song is something special. Those transitions are really great, Floors demonstration of power, tone, clean sound, classical elements, all of them just focused 100%, everything is just top class. It cant be better than this. And her scream et the end-damn. Fans call that Floorgasm (Floor hitting those high notes). Nightwish is spectacular
This whole thing was epic
We knew that you would like it 😁Oh, and about Floor getting "gritty". Remember in The Greatest Show on Earth when you were in the jungle surrounded by animals grunting and growling? The lowest growls were coming from Floor, not Troy and Marko...
That's so kewl!!!
@@Amiekinz4ever Prepare for many more fun surprises. Is that intro guitar you? It's a very nice melody.
@Duskwind_ yes, it's one of my songs
What an excellent reaction! 🔥🤘 Keep these coming! 🙏
Thank you! Will do!
Hey Amie,
Nice and good reaction 😃😇😍👍🏻
Floor Jansen is sooo good and she is from the Netherlands 🤗😃🥰🥳
I'm also from the Netherlands and she is big in the Netherlands 😃😇
- NIGHTWISH - Storytime (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) is also big song with Floor Jansen 🥳
She did also dutch program called Beste Zangers 🤗😇
🤘greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Simply The Best!!!
Hi Amie, greetings from the Uk and here to follow your Nightwish journey. Have also had a listen to your songs and love the song Holy. Will check out some more on your channel . Subscribed !
Thank you soooo much!!!
G'day from OZ! Sure you ain't part Aussie? Top reaction! Tuomas' keyboard stand (the pipes) used to shoot flames and fireworks. Best damn gig of the decade - maybe the Century! Floor really is the mother of 2 girls - Freya and Lucy - in Norse mythology, her being the mother of Freya makes her the Goddess Nerthus (like Gaia!) big lungs! This was 13 of 15 songs! Stamina too! The tour was 572 days long for the guys! I think you know why they call Tuomas THE Metal Mozart!!
Yeah, this was incredible
Nightwish Army UK Division reporting for duty 🤘
You just do not get better 🤘🤘
Facts!!!
Shocked that you haven’t seen this before! This is one of Nightwish’s epics….absolute classic.
I've never heard of them before. Some people suggested I react to them, and three 2 songs I've done so far is all I've heard from them.
Great reaction again! Next Nightwish song you react to I’ll subscribe! It should be ‘ Story time’ ? 🏴
Next Nightwish song: “Romanticide” Live at Wacken ! 🎸🔥🤘
Really enjoyed your reaction! The pipe structure is a keyboard stand for Tuomas's (keyboardist/composer) Korg keyboards. No audio coming out of the pipes. Modeled on the Sibelius Monument in Helsinki, Finland. Jean Sibelius is a famous Finnish classical composer and Tuomas is big fan. This concert, in front of 82,000 people, was Floor's introduction to Nightwish's huge European fanbase. Floor had joined the band 10 months earlier mid tour after a falling out with their previous lead singer. In 48 hours she flew from the Netherlands to America, learned the whole setlist, and then did her first show with Nightwish in Seattle, WA. There is a documentary on YT called Learn the Setlist in 48 hours that covers her joining the band. The previous 10 months had been mostly touring in North and South America with a couple of small shows in Europe before Wacken. Floor was well known by many of the European fans from her previous bands After Forever and Revamp. People were eager to see how the two would combine and Floor just blew everyone away from the beginning. Checkout the show opener Dark Chest of Wonders.
As a musician I think you would appreciate this analysis by a classical composer explaining from a musical theory perspective why this song is so epic. th-cam.com/video/-ql4Y12xbck/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PoS1LSFiXEgHTC5s. It is one of many examples of Tuomas's genius compositionally.
For your next Nightwish song you should do Yours is an Empty Hope, live from Wembley. This will give you another side of Floor's voice. Listen carefully during the chorus to see hear which part Marko is singing and which Floor is singing.
Since you enjoy this kind of music so much may I recommend another fantastic symphonic metal band, Epica. Female fronted with a classically trained singer. They are from the Netherlands. Checkout the song Unleashed from their 10th anniversary live show with a full orchestra and choir on stage. th-cam.com/video/rxd6sxLxdys/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zf9kYyzbWjZzM3Qf.
Every composition is a new journey. Hope to see you again very soon.
Oh you definitively will
Great video, can't wait for more.
Not sure if you have done "Tool" yet but I highly recommend them
Nightwish is my second favorite band of all time to TOOL.
I love the band tool

Sweet
Truly Epic! Floor is a Valkyrie Queen!🤘🎸
And miss A I wish that you consider to react to nightwishs sister band wintersun from Finland. I would recommend to start off with wintersun 1.5 official lyric video. And after that wintersun time live rehearsal video at Sonic pump studio in Helsinki Finland. So may you begin your wintersun rabbit hole as well where if you think about it if you do react and analize to wintersun think of all of wintersun fans that will become your new subscribers that will help your channel grow that way. So if you love nightwish then you'll love wintersun. Much love wintersun Alex ❄️👋❤️
thanks for this great and wonderful reaction i know floor jansen from the begin with after forever tuomas and all the songwriters are lucky with floor because they can wrote everything because floor can sing it all from soft till very heavy sorry for my english
Your English is fine
@@Amiekinz4ever thank you very much
Yeah- We're Americans. We get Taylor Swift. Loved your reaction!
Don't forget all of the crappy vocals fixed with Auto Tune crap that we get also LOL!
I just saw a video where a Merkin claimed that the reason Merkins aren't invited to Eurovision is because Merkins are so talented they would blow away all competition. I know you are not all like this, but it is almost as funny as it is infuriating!
@@michaelnolan6951 What is Merkins?
Looked it up, and found that there were zero, nil, zilch translations of it to Swedish. Think it does not exist here.
@@rolandkarlsson7072 Sorry! "Merkin" is a childish nickname for "American". Literally it was a wig to cover female pubic hair. It was very rude of me to say and I apologise.
It was a given that you will like this one :)
The mile wide smile told us that NW once again succesfully delivered joy and happines!
Yup, I loved this one

Hi Amie, i loved to see your reaction video of Nightwish. For me they are the best band in the world 😍 I also have another recommendation for you. If you like surprises and prog music, then try this masterpiece of our Dutch genius Arjen Anthony Lucassen with 11 awesome singers (I won't spoil who they are, but i think you will recognize some of them 😉): Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down. Here is the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/w-d-xo.html
You will be blown away by all the talented musicians and singers! You won't be dissappointed....I PROMISE! Hope to see your reaction to this masterpiece soon and for now....Greetings, stay safe and lots of love from The Netherlands, Martin.
Great :)
thank you for this .. seems like you genuinely enjoyed it .. think you will like Poet and Pendulum by them
