You have no idea what can of worms you just opened by reacting to Nightwish. Get ready for the Nightwish Army which means thousands of views and comments! Your Nightwish education is on the way!
It's probably a good thing that the Kiss Army was pre-internet. Of course, there's no reason for this brilliant gentleman to have reacted to any vocals that Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley have ever vomited into a microphone.

Hello @ John Henny ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar..
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in 2013 at Wacken Open Air festival, in front of a 82k+ audience.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Yes, Floor Jansen is a vocal coach. As I heard, she called herself "a vocal nerd". She's one of the greatest female singers of our time, imho, doing all that vocal acrobatics you noticed (and appreciated, as a professional) live, in an "open air" metal concert. That's the high level of Nightwish's musicianship.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
Hope you'll continue this journey with us, so I'll drop here a list of songs with the current lineup of the band you may like:

@@JohnHennyVocalStudio Nightwish has a history of 24y, and Floor Jansen has accompanied them in the last 8y (already). My message is long, but it covers only the most important moments. There are so many other things to say, beauty to discover. We need professional opinions like yours to understand the unique beauty of this group of artists who have brought us all together as hypnotized here. I took a look at the comments: there are already here fans from all continents..
The "flaming cow head" is the sign of the Wacken Open Air Festival, so it has nothing to do with Nightwish. ;-)
Good reaction. If you are planning to take the Nightwish journey, Floor Jansen will give you something new in every song
this was also the 13th song of the concert after belting like crazy...........insane
NW army is here,great reaction 🤘🤘

I've watched so many of these at this point. The song/performance never gets old, but the reactions can be tiresome. Thank you for making it interesting.
Sadly for me the comments from the same nightwish fans also are getting tiresome same thing over and over .. I wish they would just be quiet for once and let people discover the band in their own time. Its a reaction video not a lesson in nightwish history.
Great reaction! As you venture deeper in, her versatility will blow you away. Cheers!
please react next to : THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA with her , Floor Jensen & Henk Poort from the Dutch tv show Beste Zengers , thank you :)
Her name is Floor Jansen, check out her appearances on Beste Zangers, you won't believe it!
Seconded. D6.
Phantom of the opera (duet with Henk Poort), Shallow, ...
@@pvandewyngaerde oh yesss
True! Her performance on that show 'Beste Zangers' is incredible. Her versatility is insane,

Yes; is amazing your voices combination. This deutch tv. show was creation for the all songs of Floor sing was react for youtubers arround this planet.
@@alejandromoya7 dutch.tv show...nothing deutch about it.;-)
Nightwish is a Finnish band and here are the members currently:
- Tuomas Holopainen - Keyboards & main composer/arranger - Finnish
- Floor Jansen - Main Vocals - Dutch
- Marco Hietala - Bass & Vocals - Finnish
- Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist - Finnish
- Kai Hahto - Drums - Finnish (In the video you just watched it was still Jukka Nevalainen, he left as the drummer in 2014 and is now with the band's management team)
- Troy Donockley - Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, vocals, guitar, keyboards, bouzouki, etc. - English
The backing tracks are recorded with the London Philarmonic full orchestra and choir.
She is a particularly interesting singer for a vocal coach, as she is probably the most versatile singer on the planet right now, from song to song she sings in different styles, techniques, syncopation, etc.
In case you would interested to react to her some more, here are some song of interest vocally:
- Storytime from Wacken 2013
- Everdream from Wacken 2013
- Romanticide from Wacken 2013
- Yours is an Empty Hope from Wembley 2015
- The Poet and The Pendulum for Wembley 2015 (14 minutes long)
- The Greatest Show on Earth from Tampere 2015 (20+ minutes long)
- Dead Boy's Poem from Buenos Aires 2018
- The Devil and The Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires 2018
She also participated in a Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers in which she performed numerous covers in all kinds of music styles from an aria to Lady Gaga which is also very interesting vocally speaking.
You forgot Jean-Claude van Damme
Welcome to Floor Jansen, the 6' Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. You've heard about 40% of what she can do. I've heard her sing rock, metal, classical aria, country, lullaby, smooth jazz, pop and musical. I've heard her sing in English, Dutch, German, Finnish, Spanish, Italian and Latin. I've heard her do deathgrowls and hold a D6 for 8 seconds. And I've heard her do all those things live on stage. Sure, there are singers who can do any of the things she does better than her, but there's only one who can do all of them and sound great and convincing doing it all.
And she does all of those things with such superb stage presence, such ability to convey emotions that i have not seen ever before. Thats the reason many fell in love with her, and enjoyng every bit she pushes out, whether with Nightwish or sometimes also alone, like for example 1y ago the series "Beste Zangers 2019" or her support for charity War Child (she did a song for them originally called De beelden blijven, recently published also in English as The fight goes on), or even the actual 9th album of Nightwish (Human || Nature) which is not yet available as Live (which is usually better choice with NW)...
There is tons to choose from, most of them really excellent...
My tips for you would be maybe Shallow (cover, in Beste Zangers) of the duett with Henk Poort - Phantom of the Opera (also there), or the How's the hearth in pure acoustic version (on Planet Rock session)...
@@SYNtemp Definitely Phantom of the Opera. She and Henk are superb together.
I see Floor or Nightwish, I hit like!
You just opened a door that you’re never going to be able to close. Welcome to the club (or Army).
Subscribed to see more Floor and Nightwish.
It's more of an Army really
Hi John thought you might like to know some of Floors musical background..
Floor tweeted this
If I hadn't had passionate music teachers in my high school, I might never have started singing. I was the bullied, insecure kid who dreamt of singing without knowing that I had a voice for it.
"Because of my dedication at school I dared to crawl out of my shell and started to sing! I became more confident of myself and made friends and was forever in love with music.
"Nothing is as wonderful and honest as making music together. Nothing connects as music can. Music education is therefore very important for many reasons.
Floor's Wiki Bio
Floor Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. After After Forever split up she started teaching performing in her own course called Wanna be a Star?!
She used to play the guitar, piano and flute and has completed several years of music studies.
From the age of 16 all during this period she was fronting the the Band Apocalypse (later known as After Forever) in 1997 until they disbanded in 2009. She then did vocal coaching and formed her own band called Revamp which officially broke up in 2016 because of Floor's commitment to Nightwish.
The RockAcademy in the Netherlands is an actual Bachelors degree, conservatory style, but focusing on the rock/pop industry.
Ghost Love Score is a fantastic song and Floor does it brilliantly, but it doesn’t show the full range of her vocal talents. Her rendition of “Phantom of the Opera” with Henk Poort on the Dutch tv show Beste Zangers shows her more classical abilities, while Nightwish’s “Yours Is An Empty Hope” showcases her in full metal mode.
For the other end of the range I'd also add the last part of "Shoemaker".
And I'd say her Vilja Lied is better yet to showcase her classical side.
Song of Myself, Ever Dream, Romanticide, Elan, Ghost River
And they must be all live versions. Ask the Army which concert is best for each song.
Thank you John Henny ❣️ Floor Jansen is awesome singer and the NW is just superb. Please analyze and react more to them, next maybe Yours is an empty hope, use live performances only since they really excell when live! I really hope you continue with them! Btw, nice noticing the rhytm changes 😉
Wow! She has a beautiful voice! I never heard of this group, but I just love them already!
Nightwish with Floor are magic and listening can become an addiction. She did some solo stuff in a well produced Dutch music appreciation TV show called Beste Zangers (just Google Beste Zangers Floor and all of the songs she does will come up). Every performance is great. There are Sirens and she is one.
"How's the heart acoustic" is a precious case for every vocal coach analyse. Others Epic songs from Nightwish: "The poet and the pendulum" and "The greatest show on earth".
Awesome recommendation!!!
But research into the background of the latter two is VERY strongly recommended. Likewise for "Shoemaker" if he reacts to that - which would be great as it shows off another magical aspect of Floor's seemingly endless variety of singing styles.
Also Dead Boy's Poem and Everdream
yes and Storytime please :)
@@grantacubayo love that song so much...sad but so beautiful ❤️🤘
Her tone drives goosebumps globally.
versatile vocalist, Jansen can sing from ethereal, classical and operatic singing, to powerful belting, and aggressive, raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. She is a soprano.
Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. Later, she started teaching .. Ever dream , Romanticide , yours is an empty hope are fantastic. Nightwish is brilliant!
New analogy idea from that: Tarja is the spear, Anette the longsword, and Floor the poleaxe.
(Marco can be a double handed serrated machete I suppose, and troy simply bow and arrow.)
@@xcritic9671 Tarja is an angel, Anette is a fairy, Floor is a full on warrior princess.
@@darkiee69 too close to the standard analogy. You can keep the fairy one though.
Floors signatures are her seamless transitions, her super precision, power, dynamics and transmission of emotion.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish! Hope you continue your journey into this amazing band
This was really good. I have seen probably 12 - 15 Ghost Love Score reactions now and this one is among the very best. Not to put any pressure on you but I just subbed. Hope to see more Nightwish. Thanks
You’ve hardly seen 10% here of what Floor is capable of...
Its really only the 1st Floor experience. The other Floors are fantastic as well.
Sinvare Indeed, this is just a small taste!
@@syyneater Hey Guys, Can you recommend another song that she sings? Thanks
Wasp Fr. Everdream, Storytime, Romanticide, Yours is an empty hope, Poet and the Pendulum. Watching any of those should get the suggestion algorithm to start suggesting more.
@@waspfr.7103 I was going to ask the same question, and thank you, Daniel Harrison, for the beginner's guide to her portfolio
10:06 "and the mouth is gonna open up" Hell yeah it is ;) LOL
Great reaction. Love the details you picked up on.
Great reaction and analysis. Floor Jansen (Yan-sen) is one of a kind. She is classically trained and has an exceptional range. Check her singing Phantom Of the Opera with Henk Poort on a show called Beste Zangers. That shows her upper capabilities. You can also check out Dead Boy's Poem live at Buenos Aires for her low singing ability. Subbed to see more as you dive into Nightwish and Floor's techniques and abilities.
Nice vocal analysis. Just a suggestion, try the 'rewind 10 sec' button after each pause, it helps emphasize the point your making and it makes sure you're not missing anything. Would love to see more NW songs, maybe Romanticide :)
Usually i would agree but he seems very focused.
Second that!
Dutch Division, Frisian battalion reporting. Thank you so much for this professional reaction and welcome. Hope (no, convinced!) you will enjoy your journey. There will be a ton of suggestions coming your way. Just to add one: Shoemaker (please do some research before listening). Although nothing beats the live performances of Nightwish (and because of COVID there is no live registration of Shoemaker available yet) I truly recommend it. Keep it up John (ow...and when you really love prog music, try Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down)
American Division, Ashkenazi battalion here!
I have probably watched over 100 reactions to this song and this is definitely one of the best! Thank you for the great technical analysis. Wonderful to see someone who picks up on the talent of not only Floor, but the entire band. Tuomas is an amazing song writer. Can't think of a song from Nightwish that I don't like.
This was a very interesting video, informative. I enjoy it.
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish!
In addition to the band, you will hear a symphony orchestra in the background.
Nightwish has been using the London Symphony Orchestra or part of it in the background with their studio albums since 2004. Also two different choirs (adults, children) as needed. In live concerts, they play it from the backing tape and perform themselves on top of it.
Everything that happens on stage is for telling a story. Fireworks, pyrotechnics, lights, led panels, background music (symphony orchestra) and music played by each band member, vocals ... And each song has its own story. And because every story is different, that’s why Nightwish sounds different in every song and within the song there are variations depending on the course of the story.
So, if they now have about 120 songs, that means 120 stories. Same as 120 books or movies ... All different. That makes this band really interesting. You can never know what will happen next. As it is in a good movie or book.
They have two trained singers. Floor Jansen and bassist Marko Hietala. And as you noticed, you can really hear it. If you make another video where Marko also sings, you will notice how good those two are together!
We think (Nightwish Army / fans) Floor is the best female metal singer in the world. Valkyrie goddess.
If we draw a line and there is opera at one end and growling at the other, she is, to our knowledge, the only singer who can sing all the way through. We understand, of course, that a true opera singer is better in her own art. But others who are able to sing at the top level of each singing style between the extremes probably don’t exist ...
I really appreciate that you don't just talk about the vocal part.
Nightwish musically has very complex and epic structures.
They are a very unique band.
Not for nothing Tuomas (the keyboardist, founder, leader and who composes 99.9% of Nightwish's music) is called "the master"
The whole band can distort the listeners' perception of time and space. They are TimeLords!
Tuomas is also known as "The metal Mozart"
One of the best composers around.
Incoming NightWish army! I hope you are ready! :) She is our Amazon and Valkyrie. (Other great song to see IMO Romanticide, Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019, Vilja Lied at Beste Zangers 2019, Floor Jansen - Puccini, and my favorite Weak Fantasy! Fantastic react!
Nightwish is the best band out there today, no one comes close to them!
A B S O L U T E L Y spot on 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
While they are my favourite band, i don't like these kind of statements. Let's be modest.
@@todanrg3 I stand by my opinion.
Im joining Mike!
@@todanrg3 hehe I agree with that, but we are talking about Nightwish here, there are always exceptions 😁
Incoming army
Sets her apart is right. There are quite a few great female hard rock and metal vocalists, but Floor stands alone.
There is Floor Jansen... then a gap and somewhere after the gap the rest trodding behind....
I wrote that last night, but something kept bugging me... Now i know what... The ghost of Fritz Wunderlich, a German tenor.. He resides in the gap not far behind Floor. Would be double magic if it was possible for those 2 to sing together...
Hi Mr Henny! Welcome to the rabbit hole! Careful, that first step is a DOOZY!!! :)
Best vocalist on earth
Can sing all what she wants
Opéra...classic...belting...growling....etc etc.....
Her vocal range is......amazing....and so powerfull
Stage presence unbelievable
A beautiful person...humble and shy
À Goddess
Welcome to the world of Nightwish my friend - Nightwish army incoming! I've been listening to them for 21 years so I know there is so much more for you to experience and constantly blow you away, the legend that is Floor Jansen will constantly amaze you. It is said that she snores in key she is that good :) - Great reaction!
Welcome and great reaction! 😊👍 This is about 10% of her singing capacity...
If you choose to go that rabbit hole of NW....There is LOTS of surprises to come. Wait until you hear that viking bearded bass player sing! 😁
Thank you! This is my favourite type of reaction - when the reactor uses the experience as a means to share their knowledge of the arts. Much appreciated! (Also: I would love to see you react to more Nightwish.)
If you want a D6...so just watch her duet with Hank Poort on the Dutch TV Beste Zangers
Phantom of the Opera
I have followed this group since the mid 2000's. Floor is a vocal coach. All of the musicians of Nightwish have extreme educations in music. The pianist Tuomas Holopainen is the band composer (note I said composer, not songwriter) for about 90-95% of their work. This band has 3 highly skilled singers! Floor, Marco (the bass player- also known as "the voice of Finland"), and Troy (multi-instrumental including- flutes of all sorts, Uilleann pipes, and strings). They all have solo and other group work. But come together for their long-standing and ongoing Nightwish work. They not only do rock, but they can also do just about everything. As a long time musician myself, I consider this group as musicians- musicians. They are a joy. So welcome to the "Nightwish Army"! You will not be disappointed. You will be pleasantly surprised at their diversity and daring.
‘Im thoroughly impressed, thats absolutly wonderfull’
Ladies and gentlemen... we got ‘em
Nightwish is a a true godsend of music . All the songs as you delve deeper on this journey will just bring you to amazing places. And reacting to nightwish is quite the experience! I have seen them live and plan to see them again. When I was younger with Tarja this was my favorite song due to the symphonic parts of it and the choir. But floor has delivered so much emotion to this nightwish family it is hard to believe. Welcome to the family and the journey! Ps. React to live versions of songs ! Cheers!
I just wonder why am I so damn happy when the vocal coach reacts ,analyses ,praises someone else's voice!!🎉🎉
Great reaction, welcome to Nightwish. Loved seeing you having your first Floorgasm (named after the Dutch lead singer Floor Jansen). You have not even seen half of what she is capable of. From real metal growling to real Opera (and everything in between,pop,heavy rock,metal,jazz,musical etc she can do it all at top level. Besides more Nightwish i would recommend you to listen to her last year performance of Phantom of the Opera with one of the official phantom male singers Henk Poort. Look for Beste Zangers 2019 Phantom of the Opera Floor Jansen en Henk Poort, it will blow you away.
You hear that stomping outside your door? Nightwish army member reporting for duty. Subscribed. In my humble opinion you've just listened to the best female voice on the planet in rock/metal today.
You've finally met the Queen! Arguably the most powerful female voice in the world. From opera to hard metal and everything in between, you're just scratching the surface of what she's capable of. And subbed for more Nightwish! Live is best - from Wacken 2013 which has ultra hi-quality recording: 1) Storytime, 2) EverDream, 3) Romanticide (harder metal but an example of her jaw-dropping 4-5 octave range at the end), 4) Song of Myself - and all the rest from the same concert is incredible. And there are great operatic vids of her such as Phantom of the Opera and so much more. Anything by Floor Jansen and Nightwish is amazing. :) Glad you've finally discovered Floor.

Floor is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and if you continue to experience her performances you will see just how versatile a performer she is. She can sing in any genre and in many languages, here in front of 80,000+ metal-heads at the Mecca of Metal, Wacken Open Air, she gave a complete blow out performance along with the band, one that many of us who have seen many concerts will tell you is top 5 period!!!! Only request as the NW army will deliver many others is do Nightwish especially with Floor LIVE as you truly never merely listen to her or the band you experience them and that is only possible LIVE!! Great reaction and analysis BTW.
Congratulations on the new book! That's fantastic. You seem like an amazing resource for the average schmuck who wants to learn the difference between singing and caterwauling.
Pandora’s box opened and down the Nightwish rabbit hole we go😂 great reaction 🤘look forward to seeing more
Very nice reaction, thanks a lot !!
To note, this was the last show of the 2012-2013 world tour where floor had to come in last minute and learned this set list in less then 48 hours.
Hey John! Thanks for this reaction! I see Gabriel already got here so I won't say much besides that I enjoyed your reaction to this song and it looks like you've got great energy. Subbed.
Nightwish is amazing and Floor is goddess :)
I'd recommend for you same quality band, I call it "twins"
AYREON - The Day That The World Breaks Down (amazing song, with only 11 singers :)) worth to see and hear
Yup, I am subbing for future reactions!
Storytime, from this same Wachen concert, and Floor's duet with Henk Poort of The Phantom of the Opera (Beste Zangers TV show) should be fun for you. LOTS of others as well.
Enjoy!
Bit of background to this: you would never, never tell from her spectacular performance and presence on stage, but when this mega concert happened she had been with Nightwish for just a literal handful of shows. The band had a break up mid-tour (long story) with the previous singer and Floor had just 48 hours to step in and m get ready for the first show. I don't remember how many others passed before Wacken, but not many. Early on in this concert, Marco (bass) introduces her to the crowd since she is still new. Right before "She is my sin" which, by the way, is always good to react to! None of the songs were written for or with her, yet she immediately made them her own and, as you can see, she is such a commanding figure on stage too. Welcome to Nightwish, you are about to be drowned in suggestions for more reactions. You'll soon discover that Marco is an amazing singer in his own right too, that Tuomas (keyboards) is the mastermind of the lyrics and music, that Jukka slays those drums, Emppu is an amazing guitarist and you still have to see Troy stepping up on stage with flutes and bagpipe... if I may, I suggest waiting a bit before going for the juggernauts "the poet and the pendulum" and "the greatest show on earth". Start from the short ones, such as Romanticide, Dark chest of wonders (Wacken opener), or I want my tears back for a first taste of Troy as well. But I'm sure you already got lots of suggestions!
id say the final assent to the high note started 13:00 then she just goes up the scale from there
Good luck trying not to be hooked on this song from now on. I’ve probably watched it 250 times since first hearing it earlier this year and I still get goosebumps every time.
Great reaction John! I think I speak for everyone here when I say I hope to see you cover lots more Nightwish. They really are a rather unique band, their music is very difficult to pigeonhole and I am sure you will enjoy all of it. You will find some rather long pieces in their discography and I just want to assure you that the people who watch these NW reaction/analysis videos have the attention span to handle longer videos... please don't feel the need to rush.
You are consistently one of the best analyzers of singers and songs. Many of the others react, but too many of them have no idea why the music is good or how the singer is producing the notes or using dynamics to promote an emotion. You should have many more subscribers, and for that matter, views. I routinely search for your videos.
The Nightwish Army is here! Thank you for a great reaction and welcome to the rabbithole!
We are here! Great reaction to this most epic performance. You have already received a little additional info to begin with 😅. Greetings from Finland!
A very nice reaction. From a vocal coach perspective, you'll definitely appreciate for example The Poet and the Pendulum (live Wembley) or The Phantom of the Opera duet with Henk Port from De Beste Zangers show. Also, Marco, the bass player, is an amazing singer as well. Not shown in this song but in many others from the same Wacken performance. Enjoy the ride.
Damn RIGHT you smiled around the 7 minute mark ;)
I don't even know what song to recommend for you to continue on this journey called Nightwish 😄
there are so many songs from them that are masterful
maybe storytime ? 🤔
(live of course)
Congrats on your first Floorgasmn it wont stop here there whatever, it only gets better the more you hear her angelic voice
She even makes warm-up exercises (at 12:45 on your vid) sound great even though they're in the middle of the song! Your remark about Nightwish harking back to the good ol' days of prog rock was spot on.
Thanks for the excellent reaction and analysis of the band and Floor! I still love this song even after finding Nightwish over a year and a half ago!
thank you for your expert reaction.
This performance is legendary. We'd love for you to continue your Nightwish journey with the Wacken 2013 festival. And if you'd like to check out something softer from them, you might want to take a look at "The Islander" (live at Tampere 2015). There you'll see what the bassist can do.
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish and their lead singer Floor Jansen. (They are so skilled professionals it feels magical) You have no idea the complete joy for you that waits ahead. Especially for someone as gifted as yourself when it comes to listening and understanding voice analytics. This was brilliant. Not too much extraction, the perfect amount in my opinion. If I could give you one thing for the future; The Video & Audio was not completely in sync. I salute you, great job.
“I gotta listen to that again”. The only proper reaction when we talk about Floor
Some viewers mentioned it in the comments already. She took part in the Dutch show 'Beste Zangers'. Floor Jansen's versatility is incredible. Definitely worth your time. I would really love you to react on something from that.
Floor Jansen was originally sent to earth to guide slain warriors to Valhalla. Gladly, she decided to stay and make music :)
And those high belts were over an hour into the gig.
About counting odd meters: she IS married to a drummer, so ...
Welcome to the NW Journey! Great reaction!
Thank you for The Reaction. It was a pleasure to watch and listen.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Outstanding, cogent analysis of this epic song. And bravo for not letting your obviously extensive training get in the way of enjoying Floor's majestic performance! I've watched dozens of reaction videos to this tune and learned several new things on yours so thanks and...rock on!!
My friend, I have watched countless reviews of this song..and I REALLY appreciated and enjoyed watching with you! You added good insight and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and I with you. Your affability and knowledge makes this one of the best reviews out there!! Well done sir!
The band is amazing. Each musician is spectacular and together Nightwish is a mind blowing experience. All their work is intricate, meaningful, and flawless. Floor is the icing on the cake with her fabulous voice. I am a devoted fan girl.
Believe me, after 50 songs you will continue to say, damn, they surprise me again... And Floor show me another style, language, tone, etc... etc...
Now there is no way back .... Floor Jansen and Henk Poort with The Phantom of the Opera! A belted D6 at the end ...
Please please check out "Romanticiade" from the same concert in Wacken 2023 - the high notes she hits there are even more amazing to me!!
and by the way, she is a Vocal Coach...
I've seen some of your other stuff, but now that you've done Nightwish you've left me no choice. I had to subscribe. Looking forward to seeing your journey.
Fun facts about the Viking Goddess Floor Jansen.... at the time of this performance she had been with the band less than 6 months. Her first concert having been oct-nov of the previous year this show was jan- feb... and she had to learn the set list on the tour bus in 48 hours from when she joined the band mid tour..
My home town of seattle will forever live in the annuls of nightwish lore as Floor's first performance
Nighwish Army Swiss brigade, checking in! Nice reaction and analysis. New sub!
One of the better vocal analyses I've seen of this performance. Enjoyed this!
Just FYI, the flaming bull head above the stage is the symbol of the Wacken Open Air Festival, a massive annual heavy metal fest held in Wacken, Germany.
Great analysis bro! We’re very proud of this band in Finland💪🏼🤘🏻
They are going to be touring next year. Only 4 shows in the US - two of them are in your backyard. They will do both shows at the Wiltern in Los Angles in October 2021. After you review a couple more songs, my bet is, you will want to be there. Great review!
This was enjoyable to watch. Subscribed. Nightwish has so much versatility. Music for every emotion. And Floor Jansen as a singer is as versatile as it get's.
The TH-cam video of this performance was the first time I'd seen Floor as Nightwish's (then) new singer, too.
Her (what I now know to be a) high A flat blew my mind too!
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!Please do the greatest show on earth live in Tampere.tnank you for the great reaction!!
floor isn't just skilled, she actually defines the scale all others are measured on. and she's doing it with a smile
Genesis, yes! My thoughts exactly. As someone else pointed out, opening the door in to the nightwishuniverse, is like sitting home, and someone's ringing on the door, you open the door, and before you know it, the house is filled to the rim with people asking you if you've heared of nightwish?
Always love watching someone be introduced to Nightwish. Welcome to the family.
Thank you for the analysis part. You bring much more to the reaction than just "oh she is good"
