![ROADIE REACTIONS | "Nightwish - Yours Is An Empty Hope (Live)" | [FIRST TIME SONG REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
''Is there anything she cannot do''
Rumor goes she's pretty bad at bricklaying.
hahahahaha give her an hour and she'd probably have that figured out too
@@jvoxfox Yeah i'll bet she will.
What was i thinking ?
Disappoint.
We've seen her lumberjacking and fence building so you never know!
@@jvoxfox Just wait. She has shared a video of herself installing fence posts with Thor's hammer. Or at least that's what it would be for me.
Floor bamboozled me in this performance! I have no regrets!! (I never do with Nightwish songs). I loved the aggressive element of this song from the growls to the physicality and the fire!!
I'm 99% sure it's a stylistic choice WRT the distortion she's using. It's an intense song with a dark meaning so she's accenting in that way.
When you hear all beste zengers presentations... Dead boys poem in buenos aires... Shoemaker... O mio bambino caro... Maybe you reached 60 per cent... of her voice....
You should also have a look at Floor former band Revamp. I recommend "Revamp - Disdain", a more aggressive song of her. :)
As usual we are not worthy of the voice that is Floor Jansen....
May I ask for a request to be done?
I will tell you that the lead vocalist is only 15 in this performance..but. I would love to know what you think of them.. thank you and Happy Holidays..
th-cam.com/video/IP6KBmEbkr0/w-d-xo.html
IRT the growl, I had a flashback to your reaction to The Greatest Show on Earth in the primal section around the 15 min mark.. "Is that Floor?" :D
Case closed: Julia has become a fan and is now official member of Nightwish Army. Welcome aboard Julia!!
yep we got her lol exhibiting fangirl reactions at the end there
one of us... One of us... ONE OF US!
still waiting for someone who knows anything about music NOT becoming a fan!
THE ARMY FRON COSTA RICA SAY WELCOME !!!!!
@@josejimenez-nn6me lovely country spent some time there surfing down the pacific cost when i was younger .From the UK
Please do "Shoemaker" and/or "How's the Heart" studio videos with lyrics from the album released earlier this year. Perhaps then you can do "How's the Heart" acoustic version after to compare the contrast.
Yes, Shoemaker is a must, well also How's the heart really!
@Julia, How's The Heart lyric video followed by the acoustic live version from Planet rock in one reaction video is epic.
Link "How's The Heart" at Planet Rock acoustic version: th-cam.com/video/yYtkPpFYzOo/w-d-xo.html
Shoemaker after this 👌 perfect
From an edge to another... Yours an empty hope x Acoustic How's the heart... Just proof she is not from this planet.
There are 2 kinds of Floorgasms - the usual kind and then the realisation that Floor is growling. xD
When I saw you schedule this, I eagerly anticipated your reaction.
Freyja better be a good girl as she gets older or she'll face her mother's full vocal fury. I wouldn't have wanted to hear these words growled daemonically at me --
"DO YOUR CHORES! DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!"
@@Robert_Douglass "Moooomm... I don't want to go to bed yet." Floor: "Yoursss is an Empty HOPE."..
@@JB-tc1xw Haha, clever.
tuomas is such a Lucky man. He can write whatever he wants. He knows they all can pull it off.
I saw an interview Troy did where he said "Tuomas has a really bad habit of throwing ridiculous key signatures at me." 😆
Tuomas actually wrote some parts where Floor had to request for some pauses to actually breath somewhere. She spoke about it on some interview.
@@corinna007 yeah the stuff in Harvest is fucking impossible, really curious how Troy is going to be able to life-perform it.
Totally right,Tuomas is genius and now he has way to tell what's happening in his head😃
Julia, good that you have the courage to stop watching a video (and show it to us) due to the stroboscope effect!! Take care.
I was seriously worried she'd have an epileptic seizure on camera the way she first reacted.
@@forgalzz7 Tell me. My wife has a strobe light sensitivity that can cause epileptic seizures.
Agreed, pro moment.
God bless those strobes, the Wembley version is better anyway!
It is, a better mix I think. Sold out Wembley Arena? Now there's a surprise.
Julia, you might now go and watch Chase's musical analysis of the same piece, there's a lot of musical info in it.
Oh, maybe you should go watch a moment of a younger Floor with her own band:
th-cam.com/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/w-d-xo.html
Really liking your reactions, I'm learning a lot, thank you.
The strobing was actually about to end, it was just part of the intro.
Yep, Wembley version is better
@@572Btriode Yeah, ReVamp - Disdain :)
Julia is a magician - by a single show switch, she got an audience 5 times larger than the previous (2500-12700) 👌
Sound engineer here. That effect on Floor's microtonal vocal part was some reverb, giving it that little echo-y effect. You can change the amount of reverb you put on the effect, this one had a very light touch of it, but enough to be able to hear it and give it that kind of creepy, siren-y sound.
Also so glad you realized it was Floor doing the growls! There really is nothing she can't do.
Agree. The reverb probably has a slightly longer decay on it it which will give it a longer trailing effect .
It was part Marco as well.
Great to hear from the tech folks! As repetitive as a lot of reactions videos are, we never hear from the unsung heros. Tank is good for production and stagecraft. But we never hear from a sound person. I would love to just see a video about what you al are doing during a concert. Then analyze a song for its engineering techniques. Nightwish engineers are the magic gnomes of the band. None of these videos would be so popular without the brilliant work you do getting all the parts so perfectly balanced.
@@richsz24 Yes definitely a delay. I used to use that, a gated reverb of sorts.
Plate reverb with 1.57 decay and a pre delay of 2ms followed with singled tap delay
floor destroys every pop singer out there
Indeed!! Can you imagine T Swift (& I like her in her play pen) trying to follow Floor for one song, whole few hr concert!!??
Please react to Devil and the deep dark ocean live in Buenos Aires it is truly one of the best, I would love to hear your reaction to it :)
I totally support this. PLEASE!
Agree!
My second-favorite, after "Yours....". Consider "Devil" a mini-opera.
Totally agreed! I feel like she’s an actress when I watch this performance.
I second that
She sang Ever Dream and Storytime back to back after this. Her vocal stamina is otherworldy
And she was asked once what was the most difficult song to sing. She said Ever Dream.
Ever dream and GLS were written specifically for Tarja's vocal range, it's impressive seeing another vocalist pull those songs off well.
Nightwish is very lucky to have the Titan of Song as their frontwoman.
@@Bladelols27 i think GLS , Floor song better than Tarja, (my opinion)
@@Bladelols27didn’t they change the key in ever dream for floor 🤔
And yes, we have a growling monster on stage. You should listen ro Revamp "Disdain" (Graspop) . You will meet a different Floor from a pre-Nightwish era!!
I second this - Julia, you'd certainly find Disdain interesting - highly recommended! :-D
Agree, do sometime check out her work on Revamp and After Forever. A lot of excellent music there too.
Yes disdain is one of floor’s best. Plus the musicianship is also great.
I'd never heard of Revamp and just checked it out, holy shit! Absolutely amazing!
I feel like Floor often embodies that scene in Peter Jackson’s Lord Of The Rings where The Lady Galadriel lets out her “In place of a dark lord you would have a queen. Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the morn.”
Nice quote.
Cate Blanchett (Hela) could also put the Hammer down too.
Treacherous as the Sea! Stronger than the Foundations of the Earth! All now love Her and despair!
She is the Titan, the Primarch of Music! An angel and a daemon in equal measure!
The LOTRO movie Galadriel is actually a great comparison, she has the cute, frightening, elemental, fundamental, sorrowful and all other moments Floor can embody in her singing.
"Is there anything she can't do?"
Sing badly. Floor is incapable of singing badly.
She could if the song called for it for some reason, lol!
@@okiejohn3925 I seriously believe if you can write it and it is within the range of human voice ( I am possibly narrowing this a bit more than necessary), Floor can probably sing it. Could be interesting to see if she can sing some of the non-western scales actually, but then that's be being a music nerd. I am not game enough to takes bets either way.
I bet if she was asked to do a Justin Bieber cover she could sing badly. lol
@@michaelshort2388 Not willing to take that bet.
@@michaelshort2388 She would not, it would be her song after that, and Bieber would be the one making a crappy cover of it. 😁
ReVamp, live Wild Card. She goes from high falsetto down into guttural growls. Same in the song Disdain, also ReVamp.
Ahhh YES REVAMP!!! and hmmm... There aren't many videos of After Forever... Some of her best work...
@@horscategorie disdain live is a banger of a tune.
@@shspurs1342 Sure is. Loved her in AF and Revamp - Happy for all of the success, both personally and professionally. She has worked hard and deserves to reap her rewards. I do miss AF and Revamp, but Tuomas has been, as usual, composing masterpieces. I just wish there were more that used her high registers... They give me chills.... Soooo good....
-Floor, what vocal style can you sing?
- (Floor) YES!!
(stolen joke, sorry)
But so true!
Well get them all there...
One day Julia and Elisabeth will headbang, when we hit them with enough Nightwish and Metal stuff ^^
Her face when she figured out it was Floor growling instead of Marko HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Ohhhhhhh, you are in for a surprise, floor showing more off what she can do, at the end it soubds like 10 angry bear in the woods😀 happy holidays and stay safe Julia
10 angry bears? More like 11 angry bears lol
A hundred angry bears would cower in terror before Her majesty and vocal power.
Well that was a random little happy twist, going from "aww she went with the cruise version" to "Oh snap, Wembley! nice!" that's my preferred version with a better mix, probably from a more elaborate setup aswell
Distortion wont trouble floor a bit..check out her stuff with Revamp
Fantastic reaction, and I love that you kept the video-switch in for us to see :)
Glad you enjoyed!
The contrast could not get bigger.
Floor singing Shallow and “angry” Floor singing and growling Empty hope.
At the same Wembley concert Floor also sings Poet and Pendulum.
So devil vs angel🤫
Besides that: Empty Hope is an awesome Nightwish song: the composition and keyboards from Tuomas, evil riff from Empu, epic drumming from Kai and Marco as always badass with singing and bass.
Enjoy. 😈
Marco is a beast. Oh and the coolest beard in rock ever.
@@johnnyphillips4406 Especially now with the grey beard, he looks like Odin.
" So devil vs angel🤫" or alternative just Floor being Floor. Beyond simple duality ( that was deep).
Julia, THIS is Floor no limits what so ever,she sings All style,s that,s why the band and us love her.
The moment you see floor growling, that is what you see in all reaction.s . ha ha ha
i love it. Good that you do more video,s of NW Stay safe and healty.
I am so proud to be a Dutchman, as a little country we produce so many good singers, and Australia must be incredibly proud to have such good voice coacts as Julia Nilon, Julia, you can be proud of yourself.👌👌
This song should've been called: Floor flexing on everybody for (insert lenght of the song) minutes straight
Marko just won the masked singer in Finland🤘🏻 I mean can this band get any cooler!!🤩
You can always tell when Floor does something that blows Julia away. She says "Floor" with two syllables instead of one.😂. Love it.
Fah-loar! 😁👍
Floor has a youtube channel, and master class videos. If you join, you can ask her questions! 😁
"is there anything she can't do?"
Well, I never heard her throat singing
Growling is halfway there, so you never know. 😁
...yet.
Frankly, I'd be surprised if she wouldn't at least give it a shot sometime in the future (and perhaps already has in private), given her vocal nerdiness. 😁
When Floor has told being a vocal nerd no doubt she has stopped by a Mongolian throat singer and asked how to do it. Floor nor Tuomas just have not seen use to it. Yet. ; )
IMHO singing and harmonising the singing by deep growling under it like the Mongolians do sound awesome.
Which Tarja does in The Siren.
(Not trying to be an obsessed and mean Tarja fan, just stating a fact. I do love her though 😊❤️)
Watching a musician choke up just talking about the emotion and skill portrayed by a fellow artist :D No need to explain.
From the minute I saw you were reacting to this one I was waiting for the reaction when you realized Floor was doing the growling and, boy oh boy, you did not disappoint. She is versatility personified and you are dynamite to watch. Thank you.
Please do "Dead Boy's Poem" Live in Buenos Aires!! You're reactions are wonderful!!
Always in for a good Floor growl😁😁😁
Always educational commentary and your emotional engagement and reaction is infectious. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and glad you enjoyed it. Stay beautiful and healthy! And Merry Christmas from Texas!
Always fun watching reactions to this particular song. After one gets used to Floor's cleaner style, one remembers; she's a metal singer in a metal band.🤘
This is a great song. And the Live at Wembley version has much better sound quality. You picked up on Floor growling much quicker than most.
PS video-Julia's demon face is very cute :D
well she had me in the first bit but thankfully I've heard Marko before now to tell he was the melodic vocalist in that moment!
really? I am a little bit shy of the demon face so glad it's going down well!
@@jvoxfox Haha Demon Julia rocks!
@@jvoxfox your Demon in your face is perfect you see Demon Floor (only on Stage)..🤗🤗
"Is there anything she can't do?"
Yeah.... disappoint ;)
And floor just released her 3rd masterclass video a few minutes ago, so to her channel I go!
Lovely reaction Julia. Love your analysis, your engagement with whatever is going on, your 'this can't be true but it is' face when Floor is doing Floor things. Always learning something on your channel. Greetings from the Netherlands! 🙏✨🌹
It makes me sad that I may never refer to see Nightwish live with Marko ever again...I just can’t picture the band without him
He’s out of Nightwish? 😱
@@chechevite yeah. Left a few months ago
Yeah, I’m confused how they’ll work… Marco is just… Marco.
However if they find someone to take his place for the time being I hope the community won’t be mean to them. We’ve all seen how mean some Nightwish fans were, and continue to be, to lead singers… Wish we could all just be a little nicer. If Marco feels like needs a break and he wants to find himself, I wish we could all respect that and not take our frustration out on a person who hasn’t done anything wrong.
Need to do 7 Days To The Wolves from this same concert
Floor has been growling since her early days in After Forever .. Age 16-28. (edit) I was incorrect. It wasn't until ReVamp that she growled.
Thought she started growling in Revamp
No she never used growls in AF. Mark Jansen was the one using gulturals. She started using growls in Revamp.
@@yuriperez1221 ReVamp is what got me into Floor... and I followed her into Nightwish. Her songs there more gritty than Nightwish, and phenomenal. Who was the composer on those 2 albums?
@@yuriperez1221 I thought i heard her say she did use some in a Q & A a while back. im pretty sure i did. i could be wrong of course.
Thats false. Floor didnt growl in after forever. She started growling in revamp. In fact there is a story where in the early days of revamp, in a Q&A someone said to her they didnt know she could growl, then she replyed "neither did I".
sound engineer: shit comes in, shit goes out. Oh, it's Floor, time to relax. A good compressor and reverb did the job.
Sweet! I subscribe to Julia's channel; 9 hours later, she posts a "Yours Is An Empty Hope" reaction. Instant dividends!
Sorry, Julia - I'm crying with laughter here! That was a classic!
And one of the fastest I've ever seen, so you've got a blooming good ear. Had to go back after the livestream and watch it again.
Yeah, there are actually few people who catch it so fast. I saw one reaction where they didn't catch it at all and I know there is at least one where they only figured it out at the end of the song.
Have to remember, some of them know that she's going to growl in the song so they know to look for it. Then just act surprised. Some admit it later on in the comments.
Harsher growls?Lots more distortion?Then have a look at Floor in her band Revamp from 2010🤟
th-cam.com/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/w-d-xo.html
Chase: Don't tell me she can scream and growl too!
Julia: That's her growling! Is there anything she can't do?
They've been Floored!
If floor don't do something it's because she don't want to. I got to say your hair damn now that's amazing.
First I was... no not this strobe-hell-of-a-version... Then she switched, and I was yay!
Mariah Carey: "Hey floor, can you do 8 octaves?"
Floor Jansen: "Can you even growl?"
#MINDBLOWN
3:42
The moment when she realized.... Priceless xD
Absolutely agree with your statement. So epic 😊.
Will you react to "Hows the heart"?
A suggestion for breaking into another genre:
"Krigsgaldr" by Heilung. It is some sort of proto-germanic folk music, wiht a language mix from modern German and English back to some ancient dialects that must have been reconstructed by archgeologists. Honestly, I don't know how these ancient languages actually sounded like.
Gosh the last growl from Floor sounded so demonic, love it, sheesh.
"Demon Julia's Face" is the "Ugh that's nasty! - I love it!" -face
You did publicly react to Floor's performance "Shallow" and "Phantom of the Opera". Have you seen the other performances as well? Preferably as published by jenniezelf, which contains background information with subtitles. th-cam.com/play/PLnRZG2KlxbhArE-CyCLzjVAj5g0BvM-Jj.html Just to see more extreme examples of her versatility.
tuomas is such a Lucky man. He can write whatever he wants. He knows they all can pull it off.
I love the moment you realized that Floor was doing the growling vocals. It’s a lot of fun to see the reactors’ faces at that moment.
Nw is the total package. They are over the top in a good way. I’ve alway said Floor is the perfect singer for Nw. She has the vocal ability and agility to navigate the vast moods, atmosphere, colors and soundscapes of this incredible band.
Please do "Dreamflight" of After Forever 2007 live at Progrock
Imagine being someone proselytizing or something and having her spin around and growl “Yours is an empty hope!” At them causing a yellow puddle on the ground.
Please react to Phantom of the Opera - Nightwish with Tarja Turunen
I have lost count how many times I have watched this, I see it pop up and think yeh I'll watch it just one more time. Your jaw dropping when floor is growling is priceless. Makes me smile every time. Thank you for reacting to this one. Have you reacted to Storytime yet? If not you should. I think you would like that too now your hooked. Take care and stay safe.
Floor is amazing, check out the video from planet rock, acoustic version How's the Heart. I think you would really like it and I would love to hear your take on it...
When she did Disdain in her band Revamp she goes from a growl and slides right up into her chest voice. I have never heard that before...
Actually, I just listened to it again and she slides from a growl into a belt! Even more impressive...
I’ve been trying to get someone to react to Donna Missal performing Keep Lying live. She’s super underrated but her voice is unlike anything you’ve heard recently. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 please react
So glad you switched the video, this is imho the far better quality video. Nice how you picked up on Floor doing the growls immediately :D
Want more Floor growls? Revamp- Disdain ( live at Grasspop 2010) It's awesome
Of you wanna see more growls from Floor, check Distain and wild card from her former band, Revamp
When yourself, Chase and Tank watch Nightwish together you will have every angle of the performance covered. Looking forward to it. Thanks for another wonderfully informitive video.
I love this reaction, Julia! Among reactions I've seen to this song, I think you have been the quickest to twig that it's Floor growling. And your reaction at that moment is a joy to behold.
By the way, have you heard Jinjer's latest release, "Home Back"? I think you'll enjoy it.
I’m pretty sure that Floor could out-growl even a Tasmanian Devil, if she set her mind to it, lol!
Julia, please please do “How’s The Heart”, acoustic version - perhaps as a double reaction (it’s not a long song) with the album version - there would be SO much for you to talk about; technique, vocal choices, etc! And ofc course it’s gorgeous ;)
I’ve been waiting and hoping for you to do this, ever since you did your first NW song - because you see so much that other vocal coaches/vocalists don’t
I always love just how much of a blast they all look like they are having, so dammed infectious.
I thought it was a myth, but I guess she growls! I thought it was just a myth spread by a camera focusing on her instead of Marco during The Greatest Show on Earth during a growl - but no! 👀
Floor is...
Edit: I have given up trying to describe Floor - she just is! 😂😂😂
Phenominal reaction Julia. Well done! Keep up the amazing efforts ❤️
Had to stop the video to confess that "Video-Julia's demon-face" is possibly the most adorable thing I've seen all month.
I'm back here watching again after 2 years. Still a joy to share this with you, Julia.
In my humble opinion. Floor is the best singer on the planet. No matter what style she sings, she owns the song. I'm not even a Nightwish fan but I listen to them just to hear her sing. I think she's even better with her previous band, Revamp. Please listen to Trial of Monsters and Disdain (Live at Graspop 2010). You will really hear her crazy ass range.
I found your channel via Nightwish. I love your reactions to these videos Julia your face is so expressive and the details you find are great. I'm sure you have many requests, but I'd love to see your reaction to Floor's cover of Alone. It's on Floor's channel.
Nightwish is one of my favorite European bands! Floor's voice is not of this world
I'm so glad that I can watch you enjoying Nightwish. I've been trolled so much for liking them. It's so refreshing to see someone getting it. 😁
Great reaction, as always. No matter how much I get out of watching a video, I can always get more by hearing what you have to sat, Thanks.
Some bands have a singer that can belt, some have a singer that can hit those high notes flawlessly, some have a singer that can growl to hell and back, some have a singer that can hold a note forever... then there is Floor! She can do it all... She changed Nightwish and Nightwish evolved for (and because) of her!
Yessssss 👍😊
Always nice to see that specific point of recognition where the reactor becomes aware that it is Floor, doing all the growling. Very nice reaction Julia. You have one of the best reaction channels out there. Love your personality, knowledge and presentation. Always very content-full and enjoyable. Beautiful talented woman, reacting to another beautiful talented woman. Keep it up!
They are all so relaxed on stage, and they seem to have so much fun up there... Hands up everyone that wishes they were a friend of theirs and could go and hang with them before and after a concert a couple of times a year...
Hallo Julia, at the same time you Post your Reaction, Floor released her Vocal MasterClass #3. .look for this, i mean it can Interessent you.❤from northern germany
Floor is a mix of classical training with a metal heart. Check out Revamp. That was her band before Nightwish. She was a wild one in that band.
Dear Julia, why don't you listen to ROMANTICIDE from NIGHTWISH.
I think you would like it.
I love the look on peoples face when they realize it's Floor doing the growls.
Another jaw dropping for Floor's collection! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good one Julia! 🌷🌷🌷🌷
Haha what a day julia and chase on one day with two of my favourit songs from NW 🤘🤘
Is chase another reactor or her bf?
Chase is another reactor they did weak fantasy and while your lips are still red with each other as double reaction
@@janihaavisto79 Chase is doing Elvenjig/Elvenpath tonight
@@janihaavisto79 that’s what he does. He breaks down as much as he can what is happening at any one time. His insight into music is very good
Floor growling since 2007; i met here in a concert in 2009 when she was with revamp..and man, revamp had a lot of growling
I generally find the singer’s that do growling vocals are normally incredible singers
Floor has done growls before. In her band Revamp she did the growls quite a bit.
I loved this reaction, and the insights you provide from a vocal perspective :)
There is another version of this song live in Mexico City - more growling! Try that one after you have read / interpreted the lyrics.
Floor's ability to go from, power vocals, to growls, to angelic head voice and back again, is just mind boggling.
As a Finn, not surprised you've got problems with the lyrics, I've too....
