Hello Michael, Ralph & Cody [A Lot's Happened Since Yesterday!] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome [BACK] to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, [song 13 of 15 from the setlist - the entire concert was a blast!..] together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. I am impressed by the analysis you did, even with partial information. I hope with all my heart that you will continue to explore Nightwish's music. 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. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] 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 [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen of n [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: th-cam.com/users/gbardaccommunity 🤘
13 of 15 in the set and she's still got all of that voice. . .Beyond talent! Thank you for the background Gabriel! It's amazing to see how far this band has come. Still stronger than ever! 🤘
Great reaction...from all different corners and perspectives/subscribed to yer channel...bon voyage! Best greetz from the land of birth of our Floor, The Netherlands
Hi, awesome reaction, nice to see various thoughts about it from different perspectives. Go for their "yours is an empty hope" next and see whos growling ;)
I am a 54 year old metal head, most all music I listen to tend to be heavy metal, hard rock, and classic rock. I am American and never heard of this band or woman in 2020, and I was knocked on my ass by them. They do hard stuff, they do soft stuff, they do melodic stuff, but no matter what they do it is amazing. Floor is the greatest singer I have ever heard, and this band is right up there with the legendary bands I have always enjoyed. I hope you guys continue on your journey.
With you man. Have always been a metal head from as far back as I can remember and my second favorite music is classical/symphony orchestral pieces so when I heard Nightwish I was blown away by both vocals and compositions (including lyrics). Saw them live in states this year from 2nd row and was absolutely the most impressive performance by a live band I’ve ever seen. I’m 47 by the way so probably grew up liking same bands 🤘
The next reaction should be Ayreon with the video The Day That the World Breaks Down, with 11 of world best metal singers. You will again be blown away because it is so different
13th of 15 songs. And 9 years later, she's still doing it every night on the current European tour, a mere few weeks after having surgery for breast cancer. I just watched the full 1 hour 45 minute video of last night's concert in Amsterdam and she sounded incredible. Why did it take me so long to find this band?
Hi guys Floor is Dutch and the band is from Finland, last month Floor was diagnosed with breast cancer but she already had surgery and is already on European tour, she is still recovering, last November 20th she cried at the end from the song Sleeping Sun, as she is still recovering emotionally, but soon our Goddess will be 100% a hug from Brazil.
I'm American and I don't like Pop. But I'm classically trained pianist/singer. I love this band because their musicianship is amazing. She takes great care of her voice. She is actually Dutch. The Band is Finnish.
To elaborate: Floor's done 4 years of Rock Academy, followed by a year Musical Theatre and a year Belcanto (operatic) at the conservatory. She was in bands from age 16 and was a vocal coach for some years. Believe me, she takes care of her voice. O, and she is a giant physically too (over 6'). Try a solo (Shallow -L. Gaga cover) of floor sometime. Like: th-cam.com/video/M68pe4a_9zk/w-d-xo.html Or if you like it as a duet: th-cam.com/video/3Pf7Xd3IVtU/w-d-xo.html It's from a Dutch TV show, where singers sing eachother's songs right in front of them.
Nightwish is my absolute favourite band! Gabriel Bardac just gave you A LOT of info and I just came in to enjoy your reaction and analysis, which was f-ing great! Please, continue to react to other Nightwish songs! You've got a brand new subscriber here!
Been a rocker for 70 years (includes the cradle) got turned onto this band by a "metal evolution " episode about European power metal , then started watching their videos during the Pandemic and a documentary about Floor joining the band. Just saw them live in LA last May. Great Band . She has incredible stage presence.
Just caught this today. Great reaction! You'll get tons of suggestions... look for Gabriel's list...but a couple of my favorites which don't get quite as much love but which I think might appeal to all of you would be "7 Days to the Wolves" or "Weak Fantasy" . "Dead Boys Poem" is an amazing ballad that really shows off the soft vs loud abilities of Floor you mentioned. Enjoy the ride with this band!
Two weeks ago, I saw Nightwish in Dublin, even though I had seen Nightwish a couple of times before, and I had seen Floor several times with her first band After Forever, it was my first time seeing Nightwish with Floor. When she was speaking, you could hear that Floor wasn't 100% recovered from her surgery, but when she was singing, it was all flawless. They also performed this song as second from last, only followed by the amazing masterpiece that is The Greatest Show on Earth.
Romanticide and a Song of Myself have a much harder edge musically and vocally. Storytime is a shorter rocker and Everdream a slower (at the start) ballad. This band does everything and Floor's vocal range and styles are great. Listen to Shallow by Floor here on youtube Beste Zangers show.
And Yours is an empty hope after those - Or at least some with Floor (from Netherland!) and Marco (Finnish, as most of them are - just to correct) together. / Wacken or South America shows
I agree. If you like harder, you should react to Romanticide and Yours is an Empty Hope. Same quality, but much heavier and shows off Floor's voice in different ways.
Very nice to hear a reaction like this one. They are rare. Thank you very much guys. The genius front this band, Is Tuomas Holopain. The big composer, musician, leader of the band, the keyboard player.
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 Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
It was a magical moment? Ten months before, they had to fire their vocalist in the middle of an American tour, in between shows. Their only option was to phone a singer that could take over in heartbeat. They had toured with Floor about 10 years before and knew her skills, and that she was currently available. They phoned her at her sister’s wedding in Holland, asked her to fly to America and learn a 15 song setlist in 48 hours (there is a documentary….). She did, and on October 1, 2012 in Seattle she nailed it, they survived, and she continued on as their guest vocalist into South America, back to Europe, Australia, Asia. Just before this concert, in early August 2013, they asked her to be the permanent singer for the band (something that was never in doubt) and this particular concert, headlining in front of 82,000 fans, was the culmination of their acceptance that they had truly made the best choice for the band! And 82k fans who had heard about the new singer, and had possibly bought tickets thinking they would see the old one, were jacked about what they were about to experience. It did not disappoint!
Nightwish is a Finnish band with a Dutch singer and one guy from the UK. All their songs are Masterclasses. Please continue to do the Wacken concert. Each song is so fucking genius and so different. Enjoy and thanks!!
Im a metal girl and I love Nightwish, after Floor came in. She gives me that metal edge i crave. My favorits are Song of my self and yours is an empty hope
Undoubtedly someone might have mentioned this already, but Floor Jansen is Dutch, she lives in Sweden and is married to the drummer of Sabaton. But she still feels Dutch. She sang the Dutch national anthem at the Dutch Formula 1 Grand Prix and she speaks Dutch with her daughter in Sweden. She also speaks English, German and Swedish fluently and a little bit of Finnish. She focused her new solo career (besides Nightwish) on the Netherlands and a bit in Germany. I would not be surprised if she will receive an knighthood soon by the Dutch King.
BTW, she can also sing death metal. Her growl gets down in the C2 - D2 range. She can go clean, growl, clean on a single breath. Floor is a vocal coach and has been in bands since 1997, no vocal surgery required.
Oh my! Romanticide, Storytime, Everdream, Song of Myself, Ghost River, MASTER PASSION GREED!!!, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, I want My Tears Back, Dead Boys Poem, Greatest Show On Earth, Poet and the Pendulum……. MORE!!! ❤😂😅❤❤❤
You mentioned The Phantom. She actually did it in the Dutch tv program Beste Zangers. Check it out. When you're into progressive I would like to suggest the Dutch musician Ayreon - The day that the world brakes down. I visited Nightwish last Monday in Amsterdam and what a night it was!
Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty: What you should do: Listen to Gabriel. He knows. Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured three more souls….:-) Floor is just great....and I will see her LIVE this week...I am a happy man :-) About Ghost Love Score: Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again. Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. Glad you liked and greetings from the freezing northern Finland! ⛄👍
Floor is trained soprano, but she can also sing quite deep and growl. This track is on the light end but Nightwish have made much heavier metal as well :-)
Does not matter how many songs she has done she will always sound awesome especially when you're actually standing in front of them I was at May 12th Chicago at the radius small venue so it was about the band and the music not the stage show only about 3,800 people it is the best concert I've been to in my 57 years and I've been to over 500 floor and nightwish in my opinion is the greatest band was is or will be welcome to nightwish gentleman and please follow general Gabriel list if you continue on your journey you will never be disappointed. As for wiping tears from your eyes like I said I am 57 and I was wiping tears from my eyes and I am not ashamed to say that only band that ever made me cry.
I looked at your reaction again today because I found your reflections and analysis afterwards really great. Many observations that I absolutely share about Nightwish. I also came across the Nightwish army through this video and just can't get away from it (don't want to either), because this band is otherworldly. I hope you do more Nightwish because I like your honest way to experience them.
Very Good reaction - one of the best for a long time - but to be honest - i am a NW and FlOOR FAN for a long time. Most have listen to 100 times. And every time i get a shivers over my body.
This was song 13 out of 15... So there were two more songs after that. Remember that when thinking of her vocal qualities. As a follow-up, try "Romanticide" (same concert), it's bit heavier but like every other Nightwish song, it's different from the previous song.

Hey guys, nice comment on a great band with the most versatile singer in the world. When singer Floor Jansen was born in the USA, she was a worldstar. Happy for us she lives in Europe. Greetings from the Netherlands
@@littleraven28 Floor is born in the Netherlands, lives in Sweden and sings in a Finnish band, speaks very well German, sings also in Spannish.......so that's why Floor is an European :)
Their performances are incredibly consistent from one concert to the next, and from one year to the next (and now, from decade to decade.) The secret sauce is the click track that the drummer has in his ear. That keeps him, the backing track (the London Philharmonic is their "studio" band), the pyros, and the lights (and even the fireworks... check out "The Greatest Show on Earth) all tightly synced, and the rest of the band follows his lead. Lot of pressure on one guy, but both of their drummers have been superb Peart-level musicians (as well as Bonham-level beasts.) End result is that you can line up, side-by-side, performances separated by years, almost note-for-note. Floor's vocals have evolved, as have some of Emppu's guitar riffs, but that basic consistency is what lets the fans become an integral part of the show. And let's not overlook Floor's stage presence ... she takes charge of a crowd the way Freddie Mercury did in his heyday. (What Nordic metal band doesn't need a six-foot leather-clad Valkyrie as a frontwoman?) You'll get no end of suggestions for further reaction videos. (The whole damned Wacken concert is top-notch, just for starters.) If you want to hear symphonic metal beyond what even Nightwish does, it's hard to beat "Sancta Terra" (Floor again, with Epica and Simone Simons.)
Hey guys!!! Good reaction!!!! Welcome to this rabbit hole. Please keep on with Nightwish. You'll be not dissapoint. She's amazing, but all the band are awesome. Greettings from Argentina. Sorry for my English.
To the guy that said he use to follow Nightwish, this is Tarja’s song. She has been gone since 2005, & Floor really powered the song up. What a beautiful enhancement it is. Second Singer Anette Olzon, Floor replaced in 2013. This was Floor’s first show as a permanent band member, although it wasn’t announced until the new album was released later in the year. She was asked to finish the tour for Anette in October, 2012, so she just had her 10th Anniversary with Nightwish. The band is Finnish, while Floor is from the Netherlands. Troy that also became a member in 2013, that plays guitar, & pipes is from England somewhere. Floor is married to the drummer of Sabaton, a Swedish metal band, & they live in Sweden. Floor says she is a Netherlands girl in a Finnish band, that lives in Sweden. Covers half of Europe. They are on tour now, shows almost every night, & she just had surgery, & facing Chemo in February. What a woman, but I know she had quite a scare, but saying all is well. I hope is taking care your f herself! Love our Floor!
25:26 The Floorgasm brings yet more converts to the family !! 😁 Welcome Brothers. You are, each of you, one of us now. Just FYI, that’s about 70 minutes into the show, and Floor had been killin’ it the whole way already. Also, that’s 82 THOUSAND people hanging on her every word; so, no pressure on her to Bury that (9 second long)high note.... At 6’1 and 170 pounds Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie Goddess, and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again. I love watching these reaction videos and my biggest hope is that people follow and enjoy the Symphonic Metal path I was led to. Welcome to it. 💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙 Infantryman-Nightwish Army. US Regiment. Kentucky Battalion RIP Ann Waychoff-Commanding General-Nightwish Army This is the holy trinity of Nightwish songs live with Floor fronting...

It’ll add the context you need to fully appreciate this emotional masterpiece.)
Great reaction guys. This particular song is the most reacted-to song in TH-cam history. It is one of the favorites for vocal coaches to react to and analyse. Floor has an outstanding voice and is classic trained. She also used to be a vocal coach. Yeah she can do it all
About the "organ" it is decoration to hide his triple Korg keyboards. Nightwish is finnish Tuomas the keyboard Player once said it was a Tribute to the Finnish violist and composer Jan Sibelius and to his monument in the finnish capital Helsinki, 600+ decorated steel pipes . th-cam.com/video/UbWb-zy85cc/w-d-xo.html Knowing Tuomas, there is always a meaning behind everything.
Guys, she also sings in a project based Prog rock “band”. If you liked her voice, please react to The day that the world breaks down by Ayreon. And no, Floor Jansen is from The Netherlands, Nightwish is from Finland
Hi guys, Nightwish Army, Indonesian (Ex UK) division here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish I see Gabriel has made contact. I recommend you follow his lead as you won't go wrong. In the meantime, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride, which is, Nightwish.
The thing about that opening time signature...When most bands do something like this, you're thinking: "Wow, that must be hard to do"...Here, you're just thinking: "Wow, that sounds great!" It was a little while before I even started to think: "This is an odd time signature"...
It's a keyboard stand for decoration and holding his wine bottle. He has 3 separate keys behind it, all Korgs. Also, they were the headliners that year. Song 13 of 15.
Floor is Dutch Troy English and the rest of the guys from Finland. Floor had only been performing with Nightwish for 10 weeks. To be as tight and perfect as they were and in front of 82,000 people was a phenominal and euphoric experience to be there.
Check out Ghost River / Devil in The Deep Dark Ocean or Ever Dream. Also Nightwish tribute to Pink Floyd's High Hopes live. Nightwish is a Band that you watch Live.
A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe 👍. You are spot on most of the time 👍 As you are already flooded in info, comments and suggestions, I will just add some facts: What people experience is nothing religious - the official word is a 'Floorgasm' - not kidding, and very common during a Nightwish concert. And please don't be mistaken - you have only scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities within this one 😁 - only around 12 - 14%... - still not kidding! On the Wacken 2013 concert, Floor only did old songs, written to the two former singers - not for her incredible voice and breath techniques. That comes from 2015 and up - and Floor has evolved since, and nowadays nothing and nobody comes even close to abilities. Trust me - she is the most versatile, powerful, skilled and talented storyteller ever. And that brings me to the stories - all Nightwish stories are deep - very deep poetic lyrics, often with quotes from scientists and writers (Darwin, Sagan, Dawkins and Shakespeare etcetera etcetera) - and you won't really understand Nightwish, before you dive into the lyrics.. I know all the best music comes from the US - that's completely okay. But Nightwish are not restrained by moneymakers to making radio friendly songs at max 4 minutes - they are free to create deep meaning full stories - or tribute songs like 'Shoemaker' (tribute to Eugene Shoemaker) - you should try the version from their newest album 'Human Nature' - written to Floor's voice. And then let Ralf have a go on singing...and breathing 😏. He may skip the last incredible part 👍😁 By the way - Floor does the live!!! That's how we Europeans prefer a tribute song. By the way - pop? - Floor made a version of Lady Gaga's 'Shallow' - in a TV-show called Beste Zangers. Talk about versatility, emotions and skills... And again - a big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 (Amsterdam is the Capital of the Netherlands 🇳🇱) - not Finland 🇫🇮 😁 And please read Gabriel's comments once more and use his links, while they have some of the best audio
- the singing godess Floor is Dutch - I guess they where two other songs after that at the Wacken gig - the poet an the pendolum and greatest show on earth are a must do now for you guys - wellcome to the nightwish army 😉
This is one of the top 5 concerts of all time! They did a DVD from this concert called "Showtime, Storytime". Every song in this 2 hours is absolutely perfect. They are all hyper talented. If you look this song, you have not even scratched the surface of Nightwish. Tuomas Holopainen is a genius. Many called him a modern mozart (he is creating all this musik and lyrics). Floor Jansen is not from Finnland, she is from Netherlands! She was singing the netherlands anthem this year at the Formula 1 GP in Zandfort. The band is finnish. On 4.Dec.22 they are playig finally in my home city Vienna in Austria. Im waiting now 2 years for this gig, it was 3 times canceled, because of the corona pandemic. But this year everything is fine :) If you guys are ready for more art from Nightwish, than go for "The greatest show on Earth" live in Tampere 2015. This is a more than 20 minutes long song, so do some research before, to know a little bit what is going on. For the "hard" man in your group, you can check out "Romanticide" from the same show in Wacken 2013! Its also freaking awesome!
the North German Division of the Nightwish Army reports !! We are there. special greetings to the General of the Army > GabrielBardac < (in your comments) and of course the rest of the Nightwish army and the sabaton family The Bande Vocals : Floor Jansen Bass,Vocals : Marco Hietala Guitar : Emppu Vuorinen Keyboards,Songwriting. : Tuomas Holopainen Uilleann Pipes : Troy Donockley Drums :1-Jukka Nevalainen until 2013 /and then 2-Kai Hahto.
Small internet, I knew the guy in the bottom square (I'm sorry I didn't catch your name) was from the Main Line area of Philly, I grew up in Ardmore, I knew that accent a mile away. Good to see some hometown area appreciation for Nightwish!
This song was in the second half of the 2 hour show. Floor was also in the third concert in this tour. Annette had dropped out sick and at this point Floor was still filling in, not a member. In this show she made this song her own.
Hi folks, pls. more comments a few hundred to go with Nightwish and with Floor on covering songs and her former bands and nowadays her solo songs. What she can do is going to amaze you all and not bragging and showing of. Just singing! Greetings from The Netherlands.
ha, see how energetic the audience is, they've been there all day and Nightwish was the closer for the Festival on Sat. night and they're still pumped up!! Ok, one thing the band is from Finland but Floor and her "Dutch windmill" is from Netherlands. And she is a vocal coach and voice teacher.

Hello Michael, Ralph & Cody [A Lot's Happened Since Yesterday!] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome [BACK] to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, [song 13 of 15 from the setlist - the entire concert was a blast!..] together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. I am impressed by the analysis you did, even with partial information. I hope with all my heart that you will continue to explore Nightwish's music.
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.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] 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 [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen of n [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 "
For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: th-cam.com/users/gbardaccommunity

13 of 15 in the set and she's still got all of that voice. . .Beyond talent! Thank you for the background Gabriel! It's amazing to see how far this band has come. Still stronger than ever! 🤘

You won't be disappointed, they are awesome.
They really are the best❤
I get the sense that you guys like stuff that hits hard. From the same Nightwish concert (Waken 2013) try "Romanticide" & "Song of Myself."
Thanks, welcome to Nightwish
I am a 54 year old metal head, most all music I listen to tend to be heavy metal, hard rock, and classic rock. I am American and never heard of this band or woman in 2020, and I was knocked on my ass by them. They do hard stuff, they do soft stuff, they do melodic stuff, but no matter what they do it is amazing. Floor is the greatest singer I have ever heard, and this band is right up there with the legendary bands I have always enjoyed. I hope you guys continue on your journey.
With you man. Have always been a metal head from as far back as I can remember and my second favorite music is classical/symphony orchestral pieces so when I heard Nightwish I was blown away by both vocals and compositions (including lyrics). Saw them live in states this year from 2nd row and was absolutely the most impressive performance by a live band I’ve ever seen. I’m 47 by the way so probably grew up liking same bands 🤘
The next reaction should be Ayreon with the video The Day That the World Breaks Down, with 11 of world best metal singers. You will again be blown away because it is so different
13th of 15 songs. And 9 years later, she's still doing it every night on the current European tour, a mere few weeks after having surgery for breast cancer. I just watched the full 1 hour 45 minute video of last night's concert in Amsterdam and she sounded incredible. Why did it take me so long to find this band?
Insane! Talent and dedication. So inspiring! 🤘
On the island, people tend to look out over the ocean rather than across the channel. This is a mistake.
10 years. Just had her 10th Anniversary in October, where she travele to the US to fill in for Anette Olzon.
@@islgrl292 9 years (and a bit) since this performance on 3rd August 2013.
@@bujin1977 , you are saying from the show, I am saying with the band.
HEY! CONGRATS!! you got your first `FLOORGASM`!!😎🤘
Nightwish Army Southwest-Germany Division is reporting for duty. Welcome to the ride.
Hi guys Floor is Dutch and the band is from Finland, last month Floor was diagnosed with breast cancer but she already had surgery and is already on European tour, she is still recovering, last November 20th she cried at the end from the song Sleeping Sun, as she is still recovering emotionally, but soon our Goddess will be 100% a hug from Brazil.
The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere! 🤘🙏🏻
I'm American and I don't like Pop. But I'm classically trained pianist/singer. I love this band because their musicianship is amazing.
She takes great care of her voice. She is actually Dutch. The Band is Finnish.
Finnish, give or take a certain Troy Donockley, who's English.
To elaborate: Floor's done 4 years of Rock Academy, followed by a year Musical Theatre and a year Belcanto (operatic) at the conservatory. She was in bands from age 16 and was a vocal coach for some years. Believe me, she takes care of her voice.
O, and she is a giant physically too (over 6'). Try a solo (Shallow -L. Gaga cover) of floor sometime. Like: th-cam.com/video/M68pe4a_9zk/w-d-xo.html Or if you like it as a duet: th-cam.com/video/3Pf7Xd3IVtU/w-d-xo.html It's from a Dutch TV show, where singers sing eachother's songs right in front of them.
Nightwish is my absolute favourite band! Gabriel Bardac just gave you A LOT of info and I just came in to enjoy your reaction and analysis, which was f-ing great!
Please, continue to react to other Nightwish songs! You've got a brand new subscriber here!
Been a rocker for 70 years (includes the cradle) got turned onto this band by a "metal evolution " episode about European power metal , then started watching their
videos during the Pandemic and a documentary about Floor joining the band. Just saw them live in LA last May. Great Band . She has incredible stage presence.
Just caught this today. Great reaction! You'll get tons of suggestions... look for Gabriel's list...but a couple of my favorites which don't get quite as much love but which I think might appeal to all of you would be "7 Days to the Wolves" or "Weak Fantasy" . "Dead Boys Poem" is an amazing ballad that really shows off the soft vs loud abilities of Floor you mentioned. Enjoy the ride with this band!
Nightwish army UK popping in for a great reaction.
Hail our Valkirya Goddes...is out the world...welcome the Nightwish world is magic music...master musicians Tuomas Genious.composer...🤘
Two weeks ago, I saw Nightwish in Dublin, even though I had seen Nightwish a couple of times before, and I had seen Floor several times with her first band After Forever, it was my first time seeing Nightwish with Floor.
When she was speaking, you could hear that Floor wasn't 100% recovered from her surgery, but when she was singing, it was all flawless. They also performed this song as second from last, only followed by the amazing masterpiece that is The Greatest Show on Earth.
90 minutes into the set my friends 🤘
We are here...we are everywhere....Nightwish Army
No Floor is from the Netherlands. The band itself is Finnish.
Romanticide and a Song of Myself have a much harder edge musically and vocally. Storytime is a shorter rocker and Everdream a slower (at the start) ballad. This band does everything and Floor's vocal range and styles are great. Listen to Shallow by Floor here on youtube Beste Zangers show.
And Yours is an empty hope after those - Or at least some with Floor (from Netherland!) and Marco (Finnish, as most of them are - just to correct) together. / Wacken or South America shows
I agree. If you like harder, you should react to Romanticide and Yours is an Empty Hope. Same quality, but much heavier and shows off Floor's voice in different ways.
Very nice to hear a reaction like this one. They are rare. Thank you very much guys.
The genius front this band,
Is Tuomas Holopain.
The big composer, musician, leader of the band, the keyboard player.
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 Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Odin: Send me your Heroes
"Floor delivers an army"
It was a magical moment? Ten months before, they had to fire their vocalist in the middle of an American tour, in between shows. Their only option was to phone a singer that could take over in heartbeat. They had toured with Floor about 10 years before and knew her skills, and that she was currently available. They phoned her at her sister’s wedding in Holland, asked her to fly to America and learn a 15 song setlist in 48 hours (there is a documentary….). She did, and on October 1, 2012 in Seattle she nailed it, they survived, and she continued on as their guest vocalist into South America, back to Europe, Australia, Asia. Just before this concert, in early August 2013, they asked her to be the permanent singer for the band (something that was never in doubt) and this particular concert, headlining in front of 82,000 fans, was the culmination of their acceptance that they had truly made the best choice for the band! And 82k fans who had heard about the new singer, and had possibly bought tickets thinking they would see the old one, were jacked about what they were about to experience. It did not disappoint!
Nightwish is a Finnish band with a Dutch singer and one guy from the UK. All their songs are Masterclasses. Please continue to do the Wacken concert. Each song is so fucking genius and so different. Enjoy and thanks!!
Best part of this whole thing is from 40:25 to 40:57, you'll thank me for this!
Last song in this show was "Last ride of the day" I think which is a very good "kick out" song for a festival like Wacken.
in this concert it was the last one and yes she can keep going
“My heart is with them” that’s beautifully said ❤
Im a metal girl and I love Nightwish, after Floor came in. She gives me that metal edge i crave. My favorits are Song of my self and yours is an empty hope
Undoubtedly someone might have mentioned this already, but Floor Jansen is Dutch, she lives in Sweden and is married to the drummer of Sabaton. But she still feels Dutch. She sang the Dutch national anthem at the Dutch Formula 1 Grand Prix and she speaks Dutch with her daughter in Sweden. She also speaks English, German and Swedish fluently and a little bit of Finnish. She focused her new solo career (besides Nightwish) on the Netherlands and a bit in Germany. I would not be surprised if she will receive an knighthood soon by the Dutch King.
BTW, she can also sing death metal. Her growl gets down in the C2 - D2 range. She can go clean, growl, clean on a single breath. Floor is a vocal coach and has been in bands since 1997, no vocal surgery required.
Oh my!
Romanticide, Storytime, Everdream, Song of Myself, Ghost River, MASTER PASSION GREED!!!, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, I want My Tears Back, Dead Boys Poem, Greatest Show On Earth, Poet and the Pendulum……. MORE!!! ❤😂😅❤❤❤

very cool reaction,
greetings from the Nightwish Army from Germany :-)
I was at their shows in Amsterdam and Luxembourg a few weeks ago. They were amazing!I wish you were there too!!
You mentioned The Phantom. She actually did it in the Dutch tv program Beste Zangers. Check it out.
When you're into progressive I would like to suggest the Dutch musician Ayreon - The day that the world brakes down.
I visited Nightwish last Monday in Amsterdam and what a night it was!

Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured three more souls….:-)
Floor is just great....and I will see her LIVE this week...I am a happy man :-)
About Ghost Love Score:
Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again.
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. Glad you liked and greetings from the freezing northern Finland! ⛄👍
Actually Floor Jansen (Yahn..sen) is from the Netherlands...She does a massive windmill. The band is Finnish.
Floor is trained soprano, but she can also sing quite deep and growl. This track is on the light end but Nightwish have made much heavier metal as well :-)
Does not matter how many songs she has done she will always sound awesome especially when you're actually standing in front of them I was at May 12th Chicago at the radius small venue so it was about the band and the music not the stage show only about 3,800 people it is the best concert I've been to in my 57 years and I've been to over 500 floor and nightwish in my opinion is the greatest band was is or will be welcome to nightwish gentleman and please follow general Gabriel list if you continue on your journey you will never be disappointed. As for wiping tears from your eyes like I said I am 57 and I was wiping tears from my eyes and I am not ashamed to say that only band that ever made me cry.
Subscribed for more Nightwish reactions :)
I saw them last Tuesday and yep, they're still just as good! :)
Would love to see them live. This opened our eyes in a big bad way! Definitely doing more 🤘
I looked at your reaction again today because I found your reflections and analysis afterwards really great. Many observations that I absolutely share about Nightwish. I also came across the Nightwish army through this video and just can't get away from it (don't want to either), because this band is otherworldly. I hope you do more Nightwish because I like your honest way to experience them.
Very Good reaction - one of the best for a long time - but to be honest - i am a NW and FlOOR FAN for a long time. Most have listen to 100 times. And every time i get a shivers over my body.
This is the 3rd last song so she's been singing her heart out already, an this is "the ballad" of this set. Go for Romanticide
Floor Jansen is a charismatic story teller and a vocal coach too!
This was song 13 out of 15... So there were two more songs after that. Remember that when thinking of her vocal qualities. As a follow-up, try "Romanticide" (same concert), it's bit heavier but like every other Nightwish song, it's different from the previous song.
Just went to their concerts in Amsterdam and Vienna, it was EPIC❣️❣️❣️

Hi, nice reaction, greetings from the Nightwish Army from Poland
Hey guys, nice comment on a great band with the most versatile singer in the world. When singer Floor Jansen was born in the USA, she was a worldstar. Happy for us she lives in Europe. Greetings from the Netherlands
I concur. Floor is European.
In fact she is not Finnish either, she is from the Netherlands.
@@littleraven28 Floor is born in the Netherlands, lives in Sweden and sings in a Finnish band, speaks very well German, sings also in Spannish.......so that's why Floor is an European :)
Their performances are incredibly consistent from one concert to the next, and from one year to the next (and now, from decade to decade.) The secret sauce is the click track that the drummer has in his ear. That keeps him, the backing track (the London Philharmonic is their "studio" band), the pyros, and the lights (and even the fireworks... check out "The Greatest Show on Earth) all tightly synced, and the rest of the band follows his lead. Lot of pressure on one guy, but both of their drummers have been superb Peart-level musicians (as well as Bonham-level beasts.)
End result is that you can line up, side-by-side, performances separated by years, almost note-for-note. Floor's vocals have evolved, as have some of Emppu's guitar riffs, but that basic consistency is what lets the fans become an integral part of the show.
And let's not overlook Floor's stage presence ... she takes charge of a crowd the way Freddie Mercury did in his heyday. (What Nordic metal band doesn't need a six-foot leather-clad Valkyrie as a frontwoman?)
You'll get no end of suggestions for further reaction videos. (The whole damned Wacken concert is top-notch, just for starters.) If you want to hear symphonic metal beyond what even Nightwish does, it's hard to beat "Sancta Terra" (Floor again, with Epica and Simone Simons.)
The pipes are a large facade to hide Tuomas’ wine bottle holder - I’m serious, watch more of this concert!
Hey guys!!! Good reaction!!!! Welcome to this rabbit hole. Please keep on with Nightwish. You'll be not dissapoint. She's amazing, but all the band are awesome. Greettings from Argentina. Sorry for my English.
To the guy that said he use to follow Nightwish, this is Tarja’s song. She has been gone since 2005, & Floor really powered the song up. What a beautiful enhancement it is. Second Singer Anette Olzon, Floor replaced in 2013. This was Floor’s first show as a permanent band member, although it wasn’t announced until the new album was released later in the year. She was asked to finish the tour for Anette in October, 2012, so she just had her 10th Anniversary with Nightwish. The band is Finnish, while Floor is from the Netherlands. Troy that also became a member in 2013, that plays guitar, & pipes is from England somewhere. Floor is married to the drummer of Sabaton, a Swedish metal band, & they live in Sweden. Floor says she is a Netherlands girl in a Finnish band, that lives in Sweden. Covers half of Europe. They are on tour now, shows almost every night, & she just had surgery, & facing Chemo in February. What a woman, but I know she had quite a scare, but saying all is well. I hope is taking care your f herself! Love our Floor!
PS: 13th song of 15, the last is “Last Ride of the Day”, a real power banger! They never let up.
She really has. It has a different feel without losing any of the nightwish sound! She's fantastic!
25:26 The Floorgasm brings yet more converts to the family !! 😁 Welcome Brothers. You are, each of you, one of us now. Just FYI, that’s about 70 minutes into the show, and Floor had been killin’ it the whole way already. Also, that’s 82 THOUSAND people hanging on her every word; so, no pressure on her to Bury that (9 second long)high note.... At 6’1 and 170 pounds Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie Goddess, and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again. I love watching these reaction videos and my biggest hope is that people follow and enjoy the Symphonic Metal path I was led to. Welcome to it.
💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙

Great reaction guys. This particular song is the most reacted-to song in TH-cam history. It is one of the favorites for vocal coaches to react to and analyse. Floor has an outstanding voice and is classic trained. She also used to be a vocal coach. Yeah she can do it all
Blew us away! Absolutely powerful vocal performance. I think Ralph was right. This was a magical performance 🤘
@@ALHSY
She even Growls.. She literally does it all.
About the "organ" it is decoration to hide his triple Korg keyboards. Nightwish is finnish
Tuomas the keyboard Player once said it was a Tribute to the Finnish violist and composer Jan Sibelius and to his monument in the finnish capital Helsinki, 600+ decorated steel pipes .
th-cam.com/video/UbWb-zy85cc/w-d-xo.html
Knowing Tuomas, there is always a meaning behind everything.
Guys, she also sings in a project based Prog rock “band”. If you liked her voice, please react to The day that the world breaks down by Ayreon. And no, Floor Jansen is from The Netherlands, Nightwish is from Finland
She is Dutch. The band is from Finland.
Love this band! Saw them this past year in Minneapolis, absolutely amazing!
Hi guys, Nightwish Army, Indonesian (Ex UK) division here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish I see Gabriel has made contact. I recommend you follow his lead as you won't go wrong. In the meantime, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride, which is, Nightwish.
Thanks for reaction. New sub here! 🤘
Nice reaction from different aspects. I think I was seeing a little 'floorgasm' towards the end.
The thing about that opening time signature...When most bands do something like this, you're thinking: "Wow, that must be hard to do"...Here, you're just thinking: "Wow, that sounds great!" It was a little while before I even started to think: "This is an odd time signature"...
You won`t believe it, but solely the fan base of the Goddess ranges from 12 year old boy to over 80 years! Yes ! Really !
Yes, and I saw examples of both last night in Amsterdam while we were waiting in the rain to be let in 😂
@@littleraven28 Oooohhh....so I believe you will be one of the first to buy the record when its released !!!!!
@@HCH944 definitely !! It was an amazing show.
@@littleraven28 You deserved it after waiting soo long......
However....I´m jealous.....
Hi. If you guys want a heavier Nightwish song, then go for. "Yours is an empty hope".
It's a keyboard stand for decoration and holding his wine bottle.
He has 3 separate keys behind it, all Korgs. Also, they were the headliners that year. Song 13 of 15.
The next song, second to last in the set, Song of Myself, is almost even harder singing. In that one, you get to see Marco, the next big surprise!
Floor is Dutch
Troy English and the rest of the guys from Finland. Floor had only been performing with Nightwish for 10 weeks. To be as tight and perfect as they were and in front of 82,000 people was a phenominal and euphoric experience to be there.
Check out Ghost River / Devil in The Deep Dark Ocean or Ever Dream.
Also Nightwish tribute to Pink Floyd's High Hopes live. Nightwish is a Band that you watch Live.
A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe 👍.
You are spot on most of the time 👍
As you are already flooded in info, comments and suggestions, I will just add some facts:
What people experience is nothing religious - the official word is a 'Floorgasm' - not kidding, and very common during a Nightwish concert.
And please don't be mistaken - you have only scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities within this one 😁 - only around 12 - 14%... - still not kidding! On the Wacken 2013 concert, Floor only did old songs, written to the two former singers - not for her incredible voice and breath techniques. That comes from 2015 and up - and Floor has evolved since, and nowadays nothing and nobody comes even close to abilities. Trust me - she is the most versatile, powerful, skilled and talented storyteller ever.
And that brings me to the stories - all Nightwish stories are deep - very deep poetic lyrics, often with quotes from scientists and writers (Darwin, Sagan, Dawkins and Shakespeare etcetera etcetera) - and you won't really understand Nightwish, before you dive into the lyrics..
I know all the best music comes from the US - that's completely okay.
But
Nightwish are not restrained by moneymakers to making radio friendly songs at max 4 minutes - they are free to create deep meaning full stories - or tribute songs like 'Shoemaker' (tribute to Eugene Shoemaker) - you should try the version from their newest album 'Human Nature' - written to Floor's voice. And then let Ralf have a go on singing...and breathing 😏.
He may skip the last incredible part 👍😁
By the way - Floor does the live!!!
That's how we Europeans prefer a tribute song.
By the way - pop? - Floor made a version of Lady Gaga's 'Shallow' - in a TV-show called Beste Zangers.
Talk about versatility, emotions and skills...
And again - a big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰
(Amsterdam is the Capital of the Netherlands 🇳🇱) - not Finland 🇫🇮 😁
And please read Gabriel's comments once more and use his links, while they have some of the best audio
- the singing godess Floor is Dutch
- I guess they where two other songs after that at the Wacken gig
- the poet an the pendolum and greatest show on earth are a must do now for you guys
- wellcome to the nightwish army 😉
We don´t have much in the Low Countries but we have our metal queens.
This is one of the top 5 concerts of all time! They did a DVD from this concert called "Showtime, Storytime". Every song in this 2 hours is absolutely perfect. They are all hyper talented. If you look this song, you have not even scratched the surface of Nightwish. Tuomas Holopainen is a genius. Many called him a modern mozart (he is creating all this musik and lyrics). Floor Jansen is not from Finnland, she is from Netherlands! She was singing the netherlands anthem this year at the Formula 1 GP in Zandfort. The band is finnish. On 4.Dec.22 they are playig finally in my home city Vienna in Austria. Im waiting now 2 years for this gig, it was 3 times canceled, because of the corona pandemic. But this year everything is fine :) If you guys are ready for more art from Nightwish, than go for "The greatest show on Earth" live in Tampere 2015. This is a more than 20 minutes long song, so do some research before, to know a little bit what is going on. For the "hard" man in your group, you can check out "Romanticide" from the same show in Wacken 2013! Its also freaking awesome!

Small internet, I knew the guy in the bottom square (I'm sorry I didn't catch your name) was from the Main Line area of Philly, I grew up in Ardmore, I knew that accent a mile away. Good to see some hometown area appreciation for Nightwish!
Awesome.
she had to learn all the scores in 48 hours after Anette left in 2012 during their world tour so thats how good she is
After Anette left. Tarja left in 2005.
Something harder? "Yours is an Empty Hope" - Wembley 2015. Nice little surprise in there for y'all to discover ;).
Hehe or something really harder and heavier with a lot of rage 😁
Master Passion Greed it is 🤘🏽
@@littleraven28 Exactly!
This song was in the second half of the 2 hour show. Floor was also in the third concert in this tour. Annette had dropped out sick and at this point Floor was still filling in, not a member. In this show she made this song her own.
Hi folks, pls. more comments a few hundred to go with Nightwish and with Floor on covering songs and her former bands and nowadays her solo songs. What she can do is going to amaze you all and not bragging and showing of. Just singing! Greetings from The Netherlands.
Nightwish army southern US division reporting in! Great reaction yall! Cant wait for yall to see more! 🤘🤘🤘
Fan since 1999 and next live here in München 5.12.2022 so closing
ha, see how energetic the audience is, they've been there all day and Nightwish was the closer for the Festival on Sat. night and they're still pumped up!! Ok, one thing the band is from Finland but Floor and her "Dutch windmill" is from Netherlands. And she is a vocal coach and voice teacher.
I thought i heard it all. Then i heard Nightwish. As the legendary Neil Peart wrote, "Fool That I Was".
