Hello Gracie ! 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. As I could see, you really enjoyed the entire performance, and appreciate all the key elements of a Nightwish show: the intricate classical-structured "cinematic score" composition, the high level of musicianship of all band members, but most of all - the stellar vocals and charisma of Floor Jansen, our Dutch metal queen. 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 (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory): "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) th-cam.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/w-d-xo.html "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) th-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/w-d-xo.html "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) th-cam.com/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/w-d-xo.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) th-cam.com/video/lQu5QjidHWg/w-d-xo.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) th-cam.com/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/w-d-xo.html "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) th-cam.com/video/05eitd-EA6I/w-d-xo.html "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) th-cam.com/video/OvOD6xecph4/w-d-xo.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) th-cam.com/video/knqeI807ZlY/w-d-xo.html "Sleeping Sun" live at Tampere 2015 (ballad) th-cam.com/video/rsotlzr9wNw/w-d-xo.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) th-cam.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/w-d-xo.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) th-cam.com/video/wA44tjaP5n0/w-d-xo.html "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) th-cam.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/w-d-xo.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) th-cam.com/video/t26r_vAYQ0Q/w-d-xo.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) th-cam.com/video/AN239Pbqbjo/w-d-xo.html "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) th-cam.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/w-d-xo.html And if you want to hear Floor growling :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 th-cam.com/video/DuwY1d-KIss/w-d-xo.html Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..) You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019 (TV show from Netherlands) here is a playlist made by Floor herself (start listen it in reverse order..): th-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo.html To understand better the context of this show you should visit also Jenniezelf's YT channel (En subtitled materials): th-cam.com/users/jenniezelf For entire episodes of the show with En translation, you should check Denise Hofs's DM channel: www.dailymotion.com/xpinkeu/videos In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us, which you can find on her YT channel th-cam.com/channels/xy4Ijz2QKXXJaREs-isxwA.html - there are already 3 covers there, the first is "Let It Go" from "Frozen" (4 weeks ago, already over 1.607M views), the second - "Alone" from "Heart" (released 2 weeks ago) - 587K and counting. This weekend she just dropped the third cover, in Dutch: "Is Dit Nou Later" from Stef Bos - already 105K views in 1 day.. Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
I see that you have been visited by the Nightwish Army already. I have to say, yours is one of the most enjoyable first reactions to Nightwish that I have seen. The joy on your face was priceless!
Great to see your reaction to Nightwish. You have now listened to the best band in the world and the greatest singer in the world!! You are just starting on a fantastic adventure! Enjoy the ride!!
First reaction i see from you was Peter Gabriel with Paula Cole and i love it. Now this reaction to Nightwish is brillant. I see you love and life music. Thank you for this.😘😘
Nightwish Live at Wacken Open Air 2013 🎶🎶🎶 Epic concert! 🎶🎶🎶 Setlist of this concert: 1. Dark Chest of Wonders, 2. Wish I Had an Angel, 3. She is My Sin, 4. Ghost River, 5. Ever Dream, 6. Storytime, 7. I Want My Tears Back, 8. Nemo, 9. Last of the Wilds, 10. Bless the Child, 11. Romanticide, 12. Amaranth, 13. Ghost Love Score, 14. Song of Myself, 15.

Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish! Everything that happens on stage is for telling a story. Fireworks, pyrotechnics, lights, led panels, background music (philharmonic 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.
Don't know how I missed this, so late getting to your party. I've seen hundreds of these, and this really is one of my *favorite* first time Nightwish reactions. The shocked happiness on your face was priceless and totally infectious!
Gracie! I know what you mean. I only discovered Nightwish 2 years ago and had the same reaction. Can you imagine? This performance is from 2013!! Seven years ago. Listen to more from this concert. All the performances are great. And because they were producing it for a BluRay release the video and audio recordings are superb.
Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, agility, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. It is apparent when listening to her sing that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres and was a vocal coach herself. It is incredible how she is able to take any song and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet.
We all know 2020 has been a very frustrating year. My personal silver lining is that I found Nightwish, and Floor Jansen. I also found reactors to this song (and others) and the pure joy it gives many of them. Thank you Gracie for sharing YOUR joy with us! May you find much more joy in Nightwish and Floor as you travel down the rabbit hole! :)
Greetings from the State of Texas...and Welcome to the Nightwish Army! The singer's name is Floor Jansen...and your reaction to this song was exactly like mine....well..except I first heard this song at about 2 am...and my was asleep, so I had to be quiet! Oh...and I am a 63 year old man who has listen to rock and roll since 1965, when I was only 8 years old. In my 55 years of listening to rock and roll music, I have never heard a group of musicians that thrill me inside like Nightwish! I have lost count as to how many times I have listened to this song...and it fills my soul with joy every time. I love everything I have heard by Nightwish. So...listen to what others suggest....
Hey, Larry! Fellow Texan, here. Fair bit younger, but have been listening to Nightwish since 2010 when Pandora fed me Over the Hills and Far Away on my Dragonforce station. Funny, that. I don't even listen to DF anymore but listen to Nightwish almost daily.
Welcome to Nightwish; you have entered the Dream Emporium, opened the Dark Chest Of Wonders, and taken your first step on the Elvenpath. It's always entertaining to watch someone experience Nightwish for the first time, but some reactions are better than others. Yours has definitely brightened my day. The joy on your face at the beginning, the stunned disbelief at the end . . . you are an immediate Nightwish fan. We look forward to watching your Nightwish journey unfold - and if we can help you in any way, we're here for you.
Welcome to the Nightwish party 😁 Great reaction loved it 👍 The army is on the way for you and will welcome you with open arms 😄 I hope you continue this Nightwish journey for it will bring you many smiles 😃 stay safe and stay healthy and greetings from Florida USA 🤘🤘
It appears that your passion for music is deep. Nightwish is the band to fulfill your need for emotional and powerful music with the amazing vocal ability of Floor Jansen, the Dutch queen of symphonic metal. Hope to see you very soon lovely lady. Peace.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army... Recruitment tests passed....instant smile, check... Wondering why you never heard of them before, check and not forgetting... The Floorgasm.... We have all had em, and usually the first one on this very song.... So welcome to the nicest, and most helpful, army ever.... 🤘🤘🤘.. I see Gabriel has briefed you on all required Intel about Nightwish, so sit back, strap in and enjoy the ride of your musical life...
I watch nightwish reactions a lot and yours is now one of my favorites. I love your reactions because I felt the same way the first time I heard this song . it was so exciting and so different and so beautiful. And like yourself I was asking myself where has this band been all my life and how come I haven't been listening to them. I hope you continue to do more night wish reactions I will watch as many as I can. Much love coming your way. Welcome to the nightwish family.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army! I highly recommend Last Ride of the Day, Storytime, Romanticide, and I Want My Tears Back, all from the Wacken 2013 concert.
Easy sub, what a smile. Loved your reaction, and yes, Nightwish can blow you away. Have fun with discovering this great band, and take cover becouse the Nightwish arme will visit your channel. greetings from the netherlands.
the North German Division of the Nightwish Army reports !! We are there. special greetings to #GabrielBardac and of course the rest of the army i love your hair color which one is that? sure fits my mohawk
I hope and believe Gabriel will come and tell you about Nightwish. I'll just suggest you react to one of these Nightwish songs, performances. "Ever Dream" (Official Live), "Song of Myself", "Ghost River", or "Romanticide" Wacken 2013 Great reaction thank you! Greetings from Helsinki Finland!
Hi Gracie! The fact your face lit up on the first notes, and you hadn't even heard Floor yet -- that was pure, unadulterated _gold._ Congrats -- you have a new subscriber. 🤘😎🤘
Sorry Gracie, Nightwish Army arriving a bit late here! Loved your reaction, glad you finally found Nightwish, the band that changes your life! Nightwish have extraordinary lyrics, music and individual artists and all finished off with the most amazing contralto, the amazing Floor. I strongly recommend Endless Forms So Beautiful and Shudder Before The Beautiful. Looking forward to seeing you react again :-)
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. They had 2 previous singers Tarja Turunen 1996-2005 and Anette Olzon 2007-2012. Best method for reacting to Nightwish that I figured from watching reactors and discovering them recently and exploring their catalog myself: Keep the particularly long and complex songs listed below, if you have not watched them already, for after you have seen all the more standard ones from the 4 live shows mentioned in the numbered list: - Ghost Love Score (Wacken) 10 minutes - The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley) 14 minutes >>> Doing some research on the background story for this song is very important to be able to appreciate the meaning of the lyrics. - Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere) 21 minutes 1- Just do all the Wacken 2013 songs, they are all great. 2- Then the Wembley 2015 ones that are not part of the Wacken show. 3- Then the remaining songs from Tampere 2015 that were not in the previous 2 shows mentioned. 4- Then the older songs from Buenos Aires 2018 that were not in the previous 3 shows mentioned. 5- To see what they can do with a cover and if you like Marco's singing, watch their interpretation of Pink Floyd's High Hopes. 6- Then you can explore Floor's versatility with her band ReVamp's live performances of the songs Disdain at Graspop and Wild Card at Bloodstock. 7- And finally go in the deep end of the Floor talent pool by reacting to her performances on Beste Zangers in the order the episodes aired. For the first 4 steps, you can alternate between shows, but I would recommend to still only take songs that are not performed in the previous shows mentioned, as they are ordered in audio quality from best to worst. From watching a lot of reactions, in my opinion this is the most efficient order to discover the rabbit hole that is Nightwish and Floor Jansen. That should keep you busy for a while. 😀
Hello gracie,welcome into the nightwish world. I warn you , its addictive and the only medicine is keep listening. Nightwish is always a experience and one that bring you in tears. Welcome in our nightwish family.
It was great to see how much fun you had. To continue that feeling you must react to "Storytime" next from the same Nightwish 2013 Wacken Concert. I look forward to your reaction to that one.....Enjoy
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal. Welcome to the rabbit hole called Nightwish. Just, as a start listen to the songs of the live concerts at Wacken, Wembley or Tampere. Beware, the Nightwish army will be upon you....to guide you
Queen Bee,Aguilera, Carey, Dion. Clean my boots, get my battledress, shield, sword. . Now. . The Goddess commands you. ... lol Hail the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal Floor and her Brothers.
And if the Queen gets into trouble, her General comes in with the Archers and Slayes the enemy, that General being Brittney Slayes and Unleash the Archers.
I LOVE Celine Dion, but even she can't stand toe to toe with Floor, even when she was in her prime. Doesn't stop me from loving her, though. But Floor is my queen.
@@sarahgraves6759 In that case, if you don't already know her, you should check out Morissette Amon. She is my other queen. She does more songs like Celine would sing but she is also in a lot cases comparable with Floor, great story telling, makes every thing her own, very flexible in every style she does and so on.
You have opened a whole new world with this reaction. The list of recommendations will flood in for you to enjoy. You will find that the Nightwish Army are constantly hunting out the reactions to the band and they are 100% supportive of the reactors. Enjoy your journey . Loving the blue hair btw :-)
Cool shirt, cool hair, cool reaction! :) This is a deep rabbit hole you have stumbled into here. Follow Gabriel's guide and you'll discover all the wonders this awesome band has to offer. Keep it coming and have fun! :)
Gracie, welcome to the world of Nightwish and the vocal goddess Floor Jansen. They are a Finnish rock band with Floor hailing from The Netherlands. In my opinion, she is the best vocalist to ever have existed and you need more,
A very honest reaction. After viewing this live performance you are HOOKED!!! If you were fortunate to be there at Watkin (2013) as one of the 30,000 crazed fans, they are one of a kind.
Nightwish Army Calgary Division here.....and to quote Freddy Mercury...Another one bites the dust...Really enjoyed your reaction. You looked exactly like I did the first time I heard this. Welcome to the Nightwish Rabbit Hole. The drop is long but oh so enjoyable and girlfriend we got your back. Gabriel B should show and give you the information you need to continue....enjoy hun.
Gracie Blue, you did it! Much better than i expected! Thanks so much for reacting. Well, what´s coming up next? Let´s go on with epic performances 😃, Try out Rammstein "Ich Tu dir Weh" (english translation "I hurt you") live from Madison Square Garden...!
Loved you enthusiasm and you haven't seen a Floor windmill yet!! ,Follow Gabriels suggestions to get the best experience from this amazing band and yes there all this good some heavier some longer and some with folke vibes and some like this GLS NW army Wales
The band is awesome and you will find a lot of amazing songs You should react to: -Everdream (Wacken 2013) You will know Marko Skills and of course will enjoy Floor's beatiful voice and the great performance by the whole band
Welcome to the phenomenon that is the genre of Symhonic metal and welcome to the Nightwish Army!! This was the Wacken Open Air Festival Concert back in 2013, and there were over 82,000 people at this concert. the current singer is from the Netherlands, and a majority of the band members are from Finland, although the woodwinds player is from England. THE BAND IS NOT NEW. They released their first album in 1996. SO WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC ACTUALLY IS NIGHTWISH???? Nightwish is actually one of the groups credited with the CREATION of the Metal Sub-genre of Symphonic Metal (according to Wikipedia!). Symphonic Metal in general only borrows the hard driving double kick drums, and the hard grungy style guitars and bass from Metal. However, in SYMPHONIC METAL the guitar is not the primary focal point, it is in fact the keyboards and their movie-scorish sounding orchestral sound. The keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen (first name pronounced as Too-oh-mas) is the composer of all of the music arrangements and is the leader of the group. He is a personal huge lover of movie scores, which is where a lot of the movie-scorish style sound of the keyboards comes from (which is the primary focal point of ALL of Nightwish’s music instrumentally). In Symphonic Metal 90-95% of all Symphonic Metal bands are all female fronted. Currently only Kamelot, Serenity, and a hand full of other Symphonic Metal bands even have male singers, and they are normally referred to as Symphonic Power Metal. The female fronted bands are the ones usually referred to over in Europe as ‘Symphonic Metal’. The most popular being Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica, and Delain. When Symphonic Metal first started the female singers ALL used an operatic style of singing, but as the Genre has evolved over the last 20+ years in the UK since Nightwish came long when they released their FIRST album back in 1996, they have adopted more of a contemporary style of singing like Floor uses currently. Floor Jansen is the 3rd and current Lead Singer since Nightwish released its first album in 1996, and she is from the Netherlands. Keep in mind when Floor did this concert (Wacken Open Air in 2013), she had not been with Nightwish for very long, she was actually a FILL-IN for this particular tour. Nightwish was in the middle of the Imaginearum World Tour when they parted ways with their SECOND Lead Singer Anette Olzen (from Sweden), and Tuomas (pronounced as Too-oh-mas) called Floor and asked her if she could learn their entire set list in 48 hours and then fill-in for them for the rest of the tour. Within the next few short months, the band posted their first Official Live Performance video since they fired their first lead singer Tarja Turunen at the end of October 2005. During Anette's entire tenure with the band, Nightwish did not post ONE single solitary live performance video on their official TH-cam channel. Hmmm? Curious? At the end of this Imaginearum World Tour (just a few months later!), (As Floor tells the story in an interview) the Band pulled both Floor Jansen and Troy Donokley aside and asked them to be official members of the band. Floor said both her and Troy both had tears in their eyes. Troy had been a guest musician with the band on such official videos like The Islander, but never an official member of the band. The rest as they say ... is history. CURRENT BAND MEMBERS • Tuomas Holopainen - keyboards, piano, is the primary musical composer for all arrangements Is also who formed the band, and is the leader of the group. • Emppu Vuorinen - All guitars (been with the band since its inception) - (His name is pronounced Ehm-poo) • Marko Hietala - bass, male vocals, acoustic guitar (is Nightwish Second Bass player, and has been with them since 2001.) • Troy Donockley - uilleann pipes, tin whistle, low whistle, guitars, bouzouki, bodhrán, backing vocals • Floor Jansen - lead vocals (Floor is Nightwish current and THIRD Lead Singer) • Kai Hahto - drums (NOT APART OF THE BAND YET WHEN THIS CONCERT WAS FILMED - Kai was hand picked by the groups original drummer Jukka Nevalainen to replace him when he had to stepped down for medical reasons listed below. Kai is a personal friend of Jukka’s, as well as was Jukka's drum teacher) FORMER BAND MEMBERS SEEN IN THIS CONCERT AT THE WACKEN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL FROM THE YEAR 2013: • Jukka Nevalainen - drums ( original drummer from 1997-2014 and is who you see playing drums in this concert at the Wacken Open Air Festioval Show from 2013. He had to step down for severe medial reasons, and handpicked his replacement. Jukka nearly died from a period of 2 straight years of severe insomnia, and had to be hospitalized because of it. Even though he stepped down as drummer, according to Toumas, he is the CEO of the Nightwish Corporation now. So he is still very much a part of Nightwish.) Other Former Band Members NOT seen in this video: • Sami Vänskä - bass (1998-2001) • Tarja Turunen - vocals (Nightwish FIRST Singer for the first 10 years of Nightwish existence from 1996-2005) • Anette Olzon - vocals (Nightwish SECOND singer, from Sweden, from 2007-2012) The songs that I recommend you listen to from this list are ALL from the Wembley Arena LIVE Show which is from the Vehicle of Spirit DVD/Blu-ray in 2016: 1. Poet And The Pendulum - This is one of the corner stone songs for this band. I would RESEARCH THIS SONG BEFORE REACTING TO IT. I would also not do this one right away, I would build up to this and get a few Nightwish songs under your belt before doing it. As stated above Floor Jansen is their THIRD Singer. Their first singer sang entirely in the operatic syle and was named Tarja Terunen. She was Nightwish Singer for TEN YEARS. Her last concert was THE END OF AN ERA concert filmed the end of October of 2005. Immediately after the conclusion of the END OF AN ERA concert Tarja received a letter called "The Open Letter" from the band telling her they were parting ways with her. Poet And the Pendulum is about the emotional heart wrenching experience of events that lead up to that decision, and the backlash from fans after ward. SO this song is extremely INTENSELY emotional. Doing your reseach into this before hand will help you understand why the song is so emotional and why it was written in 5 acts like it was. Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/iEzZRMthhXU/w-d-xo.html 2. Greatest Show On Earth - I would RESEARCH THIS SONG BEFORE REACTING TO IT. I would also not do this one right away, I would build up to this and get a few Nightwish songs under your belt before doing it. This song is about the creation of the universe, the big bang, and evolution. Be ready because this is a 20 min thrill ride that only feels like 3 or 4 minutes long. This one in particular will show off both her dynamic range and ability to change styles in a song, like Ghost Love Score. I think you might want to look for the Tampere Finland Show because it has FIREWORKS coordinated with the music. Also, I think its a good idea to look for the Tampere Finland show with lyrics, so you can follow along with the lyrics, as there is a lot to take in for this one. Look for the one with Lyrics and Fireworks both. Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/bl6lUfIMkGM/w-d-xo.html 3. Ever Dream - my absolute all-time favorite Nightwish song. The most high energy song they’ve ever done in my opinion. I think Wembley Arena show is the best one. Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/w-d-xo.html 4. Romanticide - Be prepared because this is one of their heavier songs, and Floor and Marko both do some singing in this, and this one is an amazing thrill ride of a song. Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/w-d-xo.html 5. Elan - (this is an extremely up beat high energy song that just leaves you feeling good). Again Wembley Arena is a great one to react to. Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/XcwrwRKPaEg/w-d-xo.html 6. Alpenglow - (this is JUST a feel good song. And again, this was such a fun song in the Wembley Arena Show). Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/FrJvKZNEh7g/w-d-xo.html 7. Nemo (Nemo is from a Latin word which means no one or nobody. It is about a time in Toumas life when he felt his direction in life was aimless, and without real direction. It’s an awesome song and a HUGE favorite of long time fans. This song was originally written during the Tarja Era). Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/dR1gH5aQWBU/w-d-xo.html 8. Stargazers (this one is an OLD Tarja Era song, and is sung almost entirely in an Operatic style, so if you wanna hear Floor sing Opera in a Metal song, this is the one to listen to. I would do this from the DECADES TOUR). Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/w-d-xo.html 9. Yours Is An Empty Hope (Maybe do this one from the Tampere Finland Show. Be prepared because behind Marcos vocals on the chorus, is Floor growling. You read it correctly, yes she really CAN do everything!!). Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/XtXqUNB8zrU/w-d-xo.html 10. 10th Man Down (this is from the Tarja Era, but Floor nails it perfectly.) Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/Px1YJ0EdNAI/w-d-xo.html 11. Last Ride Of The Day - I would do this from the Wembley Arena Show . This song was the second to the last song for the Wembley Arena Show from the Vehicle Of Spirit Blu-ray/DVD. It is simply one kick ass song. Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/CdfhJmkZRbU/w-d-xo.html 12. 7 Days To The Wolves - This is another kick ass song, and I would do this from the Wembley Arena Show. Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/w-d-xo.html
After so many Floorgasms, you really need a smoke... 😱🤣🤣🤟 Nightwish from Finland and Floor Jansen from The Netherlands, a match made in Valhalla, and a gift from Odin to mankind.
Welcome to the nightwish family, she's Floor Jansen and she's Dutch and has the best voice ever. You also have to listen to Storytime, Ever Dream, Dark Chest of Wonders and even better the whole Wacken concert
@@GracieReacts honestly, try prurple, that would ALSO look so amazing on you, but, if youdo that, you had best to move to the uk, so i can make you my first future ex wife.....cant have a lady looking that good without me hitting on her hair first xD hahahaha
@@GracieReacts thats easy, just say you will turn your head purple, move to the uk and become my first future ex wife, just dont let the ex bit put you off xD hahahahahaa jk
Nightwish army german division reporting in Nice reaction 👍 This song was performed by an outstanding band called Nightwish with our valkyrian goddess Floor Jansen in front of a 82k audience at the biggest Metal Festival at Wacken in Germany. If u need a suggestion for a new reaction, just pick one of the nightwish Army's herald #GabrielBardac comment. Hope you will do some more nightwish reactions ☺️ Stay safe and Greetz from Germany 🙃
You, like many others, suffer from Nightwish's limited market. Sadly, I didn't discover them until 2006 or 2007, when a coworker suggested I listen to them. They just aren't marketed outside of Europe very strongly. Now, thanks to the internet and TH-cam, we can fully enjoy them now! Better late than never as they say! Thanks for your reaction!!!
Finnish metal is the best metal of the world.

Nightwish army reporting from the NetherLans. Welcome to the world of Symphonic metal. What you hear here is just the tip of what this band can do. There were 82,000 people there. Try next Story time.
woah GIRLLLLL, before i even get into this vid, thumbs up for your hair alone, OMG, i never knew blue hair could look so great and hot on a brown girl, OMG< where do you live, i a m claiming you, you look so WOW
Hello Gracie ! 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.
As I could see, you really enjoyed the entire performance, and appreciate all the key elements of a Nightwish show: the intricate classical-structured "cinematic score" composition, the high level of musicianship of all band members, but most of all - the stellar vocals and charisma of Floor Jansen, our Dutch metal queen.
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 (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory):

For entire episodes of the show with En translation, you should check Denise Hofs's DM channel: www.dailymotion.com/xpinkeu/videos
In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us, which you can find on her YT channel th-cam.com/channels/xy4Ijz2QKXXJaREs-isxwA.html - there are already 3 covers there, the first is "Let It Go" from "Frozen" (4 weeks ago, already over 1.607M views), the second - "Alone" from "Heart" (released 2 weeks ago) - 587K and counting. This weekend she just dropped the third cover, in Dutch: "Is Dit Nou Later" from Stef Bos - already 105K views in 1 day..
Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
Wow 🤯🤯🤯
Thank you 😘
👍 Always a pleasure to see ur comment dear Gabriel
Gabriel 👍👍👍👍
@@GracieReacts You might want to pin this one to the top for easy reference!
The famous Bardac wall of text :D hehehe
I see that you have been visited by the Nightwish Army already. I have to say, yours is one of the most enjoyable first reactions to Nightwish that I have seen. The joy on your face was priceless!
😁 I really enjoyed this performance
@@GracieReacts it kinda came through that you did :) Really enterntaining reaction
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to see your reaction to Nightwish. You have now listened to the best band in the world and the greatest singer in the world!!
You are just starting on a fantastic adventure! Enjoy the ride!!
I feel the same way! Why did I not know about this band before 6 months ago
Girl, i know the feeling :D
Every time i hear this song (a few hundered times by now) i have to fight the tears.
First reaction i see from you was Peter Gabriel with Paula Cole and i love it. Now this reaction to Nightwish is brillant. I see you love and life music. Thank you for this.😘😘

Saw Nightwish live November 2018 in Germany. An Evening i will never forget!!!
4/4 , 4/4, 3/4, 4/4 intro bars of that song are the sign!
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish!
Everything that happens on stage is for telling a story. Fireworks, pyrotechnics, lights, led panels, background music (philharmonic 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.
Everything is just awesome 🥰
Don't know how I missed this, so late getting to your party. I've seen hundreds of these, and this really is one of my *favorite* first time Nightwish reactions. The shocked happiness on your face was priceless and totally infectious!
Gracie! I know what you mean. I only discovered Nightwish 2 years ago and had the same reaction. Can you imagine? This performance is from 2013!! Seven years ago. Listen to more from this concert. All the performances are great. And because they were producing it for a BluRay release the video and audio recordings are superb.
PS- Your blue hair looks marvelous!
WOW 🤯
Thank you 🙈
Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, agility, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. It is apparent when listening to her sing that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres and was a vocal coach herself. It is incredible how she is able to take any song and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet.
We all know 2020 has been a very frustrating year. My personal silver lining is that I found Nightwish, and Floor Jansen. I also found reactors to this song (and others) and the pure joy it gives many of them. Thank you Gracie for sharing YOUR joy with us! May you find much more joy in Nightwish and Floor as you travel down the rabbit hole! :)
I love watching first timers!!!!...incoming floorgasm!!!!
Greetings from the State of Texas...and Welcome to the Nightwish Army! The singer's name is Floor Jansen...and your reaction to this song was exactly like mine....well..except I first heard this song at about 2 am...and my was asleep, so I had to be quiet! Oh...and I am a 63 year old man who has listen to rock and roll since 1965, when I was only 8 years old. In my 55 years of listening to rock and roll music, I have never heard a group of musicians that thrill me inside like Nightwish! I have lost count as to how many times I have listened to this song...and it fills my soul with joy every time.
I love everything I have heard by Nightwish. So...listen to what others suggest....
OMG I can't imagine listening to this song at night 🤣
I'll wake everyone up
Hey, Larry! Fellow Texan, here. Fair bit younger, but have been listening to Nightwish since 2010 when Pandora fed me Over the Hills and Far Away on my Dragonforce station.
Funny, that. I don't even listen to DF anymore but listen to Nightwish almost daily.
Welcome to Nightwish; you have entered the Dream Emporium, opened the Dark Chest Of Wonders, and taken your first step on the Elvenpath.
It's always entertaining to watch someone experience Nightwish for the first time, but some reactions are better than others. Yours has definitely brightened my day. The joy on your face at the beginning, the stunned disbelief at the end . . . you are an immediate Nightwish fan. We look forward to watching your Nightwish journey unfold - and if we can help you in any way, we're here for you.
Welcome to the Nightwish party 😁 Great reaction loved it 👍 The army is on the way for you and will welcome you with open arms 😄 I hope you continue this Nightwish journey for it will bring you many smiles 😃 stay safe and stay healthy and greetings from Florida USA 🤘🤘

It appears that your passion for music is deep. Nightwish is the band to fulfill your need for emotional and powerful music with the amazing vocal ability of Floor Jansen, the Dutch queen of symphonic metal. Hope to see you very soon lovely lady. Peace.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army... Recruitment tests passed....instant smile, check... Wondering why you never heard of them before, check and not forgetting... The Floorgasm.... We have all had em, and usually the first one on this very song.... So welcome to the nicest, and most helpful, army ever.... 🤘🤘🤘.. I see Gabriel has briefed you on all required Intel about Nightwish, so sit back, strap in and enjoy the ride of your musical life...
😊😊😊
Thank you
I watch nightwish reactions a lot and yours is now one of my favorites. I love your reactions because I felt the same way the first time I heard this song . it was so exciting and so different and so beautiful. And like yourself I was asking myself where has this band been all my life and how come I haven't been listening to them. I hope you continue to do more night wish reactions I will watch as many as I can. Much love coming your way. Welcome to the nightwish family.
Super exciting and fun
I'm already in love.
Thank you for your comment 😊
Welcome to the Nightwish Army! I highly recommend Last Ride of the Day, Storytime, Romanticide, and I Want My Tears Back, all from the Wacken 2013 concert.
Great reaction! I love the range of emotion this song tends to lead new listeners through!
Hello from Florida, I love your true reaction. Here comes the Nightwish army. The singers name is Floor Jansen.

Great reaction thank you! Greetings from Helsinki Finland!
Gabriel just did 😁
Thanks for the suggestions
Welcome, welcome to the Nightwish Army. Enjoy the journey!
Hi Gracie!
The fact your face lit up on the first notes, and you hadn't even heard Floor yet -- that was pure, unadulterated _gold._
Congrats -- you have a new subscriber. 🤘😎🤘
😁😁😁
I love it
Thank you
Sorry Gracie, Nightwish Army arriving a bit late here! Loved your reaction, glad you finally found Nightwish, the band that changes your life! Nightwish have extraordinary lyrics, music and individual artists and all finished off with the most amazing contralto, the amazing Floor. I strongly recommend Endless Forms So Beautiful and Shudder Before The Beautiful. Looking forward to seeing you react again :-)
Thank you 🙈
I'm happy to have you 😁
@@GracieReacts Thank you Gracie :-)
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.
They had 2 previous singers Tarja Turunen 1996-2005 and Anette Olzon 2007-2012.
Best method for reacting to Nightwish that I figured from watching reactors and discovering them recently and exploring their catalog myself:
Keep the particularly long and complex songs listed below, if you have not watched them already, for after you have seen all the more standard ones from the 4 live shows mentioned in the numbered list:
- Ghost Love Score (Wacken) 10 minutes
- The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley) 14 minutes >>> Doing some research on the background story for this song is very important to be able to appreciate the meaning of the lyrics.
- Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere) 21 minutes
1- Just do all the Wacken 2013 songs, they are all great.
2- Then the Wembley 2015 ones that are not part of the Wacken show.
3- Then the remaining songs from Tampere 2015 that were not in the previous 2 shows mentioned.
4- Then the older songs from Buenos Aires 2018 that were not in the previous 3 shows mentioned.
5- To see what they can do with a cover and if you like Marco's singing, watch their interpretation of Pink Floyd's High Hopes.
6- Then you can explore Floor's versatility with her band ReVamp's live performances of the songs Disdain at Graspop and Wild Card at Bloodstock.
7- And finally go in the deep end of the Floor talent pool by reacting to her performances on Beste Zangers in the order the episodes aired.
For the first 4 steps, you can alternate between shows, but I would recommend to still only take songs that are not performed in the previous shows mentioned, as they are ordered in audio quality from best to worst.
From watching a lot of reactions, in my opinion this is the most efficient order to discover the rabbit hole that is Nightwish and Floor Jansen.
That should keep you busy for a while. 😀
Great reaction Gracie! The Nightwish Army will definitely add to your subscriber list. Keep up the journey...this is going to be fun!
Hello gracie,welcome into the nightwish world.
I warn you , its addictive and the only medicine is keep listening.
Nightwish is always a experience and one that bring you in tears.
Welcome in our nightwish family.
I loved your reaction, as energetic as Nightwish's!!! Please do more! Next Romanticide or Storytime.
It was great to see how much fun you had. To continue that feeling you must react to "Storytime" next from the same Nightwish 2013 Wacken Concert. I look forward to your reaction to that one.....Enjoy
Thank you 🤗🙈
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal.
Welcome to the rabbit hole called Nightwish.
Just, as a start listen to the songs of the live concerts at Wacken, Wembley or Tampere.
Beware, the Nightwish army will be upon you....to guide you
Queen Bee,Aguilera, Carey, Dion. Clean my boots, get my battledress, shield, sword. . Now. .
The Goddess commands you. ... lol
Hail the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal Floor and her Brothers.
And if the Queen gets into trouble, her General comes in with the Archers and Slayes the enemy, that General being Brittney Slayes and Unleash the Archers.
I LOVE Celine Dion, but even she can't stand toe to toe with Floor, even when she was in her prime.
Doesn't stop me from loving her, though. But Floor is my queen.
@@sarahgraves6759 In that case, if you don't already know her, you should check out Morissette Amon. She is my other queen. She does more songs like Celine would sing but she is also in a lot cases comparable with Floor, great story telling, makes every thing her own, very flexible in every style she does and so on.
You have opened a whole new world with this reaction.
The list of recommendations will flood in for you to enjoy.
You will find that the Nightwish Army are constantly hunting out the reactions to the band and they are 100% supportive of the reactors.
Enjoy your journey . Loving the blue hair btw :-)
Thank you 😘
Gracie has the same reaction and face expressions that I have everytime I listen to this song. amazing, love it. Enjoy the nightwish army
Cool shirt, cool hair, cool reaction! :)
This is a deep rabbit hole you have stumbled into here. Follow Gabriel's guide and you'll discover all the wonders this awesome band has to offer.
Keep it coming and have fun! :)

Welcome! Gabriel has a great “map”, worth following :)
Gracie, welcome to the world of Nightwish and the vocal goddess Floor Jansen. They are a Finnish rock band with Floor hailing from The Netherlands. In my opinion, she is the best vocalist to ever have existed and you need more,

Welcome to the phenomenon that is the genre of Symhonic metal and welcome to the Nightwish Army!!
This was the Wacken Open Air Festival Concert back in 2013, and there were over 82,000 people at this concert. the current singer is from the Netherlands, and a majority of the band members are from Finland, although the woodwinds player is from England. THE BAND IS NOT NEW. They released their first album in 1996.
SO WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC ACTUALLY IS NIGHTWISH????
Nightwish is actually one of the groups credited with the CREATION of the Metal Sub-genre of Symphonic Metal (according to Wikipedia!). Symphonic Metal in general only borrows the hard driving double kick drums, and the hard grungy style guitars and bass from Metal. However, in SYMPHONIC METAL the guitar is not the primary focal point, it is in fact the keyboards and their movie-scorish sounding orchestral sound. The keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen (first name pronounced as Too-oh-mas) is the composer of all of the music arrangements and is the leader of the group. He is a personal huge lover of movie scores, which is where a lot of the movie-scorish style sound of the keyboards comes from (which is the primary focal point of ALL of Nightwish’s music instrumentally). In Symphonic Metal 90-95% of all Symphonic Metal bands are all female fronted. Currently only Kamelot, Serenity, and a hand full of other Symphonic Metal bands even have male singers, and they are normally referred to as Symphonic Power Metal. The female fronted bands are the ones usually referred to over in Europe as ‘Symphonic Metal’. The most popular being Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica, and Delain. When Symphonic Metal first started the female singers ALL used an operatic style of singing, but as the Genre has evolved over the last 20+ years in the UK since Nightwish came long when they released their FIRST album back in 1996, they have adopted more of a contemporary style of singing like Floor uses currently.
Floor Jansen is the 3rd and current Lead Singer since Nightwish released its first album in 1996, and she is from the Netherlands. Keep in mind when Floor did this concert (Wacken Open Air in 2013), she had not been with Nightwish for very long, she was actually a FILL-IN for this particular tour. Nightwish was in the middle of the Imaginearum World Tour when they parted ways with their SECOND Lead Singer Anette Olzen (from Sweden), and Tuomas (pronounced as Too-oh-mas) called Floor and asked her if she could learn their entire set list in 48 hours and then fill-in for them for the rest of the tour. Within the next few short months, the band posted their first Official Live Performance video since they fired their first lead singer Tarja Turunen at the end of October 2005. During Anette's entire tenure with the band, Nightwish did not post ONE single solitary live performance video on their official TH-cam channel. Hmmm? Curious?
At the end of this Imaginearum World Tour (just a few months later!), (As Floor tells the story in an interview) the Band pulled both Floor Jansen and Troy Donokley aside and asked them to be official members of the band. Floor said both her and Troy both had tears in their eyes. Troy had been a guest musician with the band on such official videos like The Islander, but never an official member of the band. The rest as they say ... is history.
CURRENT BAND MEMBERS
• Tuomas Holopainen - keyboards, piano, is the primary musical composer for all arrangements Is also who formed the band, and is the leader of the group.
• Emppu Vuorinen - All guitars (been with the band since its inception) - (His name is pronounced Ehm-poo)

• Kai Hahto - drums (NOT APART OF THE BAND YET WHEN THIS CONCERT WAS FILMED - Kai was hand picked by the groups original drummer Jukka Nevalainen to replace him when he had to stepped down for medical reasons listed below. Kai is a personal friend of Jukka’s, as well as was Jukka's drum teacher)
FORMER BAND MEMBERS SEEN IN THIS CONCERT AT THE WACKEN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL FROM THE YEAR 2013:
• Jukka Nevalainen - drums ( original drummer from 1997-2014 and is who you see playing drums in this concert at the Wacken Open Air Festioval Show from 2013. He had to step down for severe medial reasons, and handpicked his replacement. Jukka nearly died from a period of 2 straight years of severe insomnia, and had to be hospitalized because of it. Even though he stepped down as drummer, according to Toumas, he is the CEO of the Nightwish Corporation now. So he is still very much a part of Nightwish.)
Other Former Band Members
NOT seen in this video:
• Sami Vänskä - bass (1998-2001)
• Tarja Turunen - vocals (Nightwish FIRST Singer for the first 10 years of Nightwish existence from 1996-2005)
• Anette Olzon - vocals (Nightwish SECOND singer, from Sweden, from 2007-2012)
The songs that I recommend you listen to from this list are ALL from the Wembley Arena LIVE Show which is from the Vehicle of Spirit DVD/Blu-ray in 2016:
1. Poet And The Pendulum - This is one of the corner stone songs for this band. I would RESEARCH THIS SONG BEFORE REACTING TO IT. I would also not do this one right away, I would build up to this and get a few Nightwish songs under your belt before doing it. As stated above Floor Jansen is their THIRD Singer. Their first singer sang entirely in the operatic syle and was named Tarja Terunen. She was Nightwish Singer for TEN YEARS. Her last concert was THE END OF AN ERA concert filmed the end of October of 2005. Immediately after the conclusion of the END OF AN ERA concert Tarja received a letter called "The Open Letter" from the band telling her they were parting ways with her. Poet And the Pendulum is about the emotional heart wrenching experience of events that lead up to that decision, and the backlash from fans after ward. SO this song is extremely INTENSELY emotional. Doing your reseach into this before hand will help you understand why the song is so emotional and why it was written in 5 acts like it was.
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/iEzZRMthhXU/w-d-xo.html
2. Greatest Show On Earth - I would RESEARCH THIS SONG BEFORE REACTING TO IT. I would also not do this one right away, I would build up to this and get a few Nightwish songs under your belt before doing it. This song is about the creation of the universe, the big bang, and evolution. Be ready because this is a 20 min thrill ride that only feels like 3 or 4 minutes long. This one in particular will show off both her dynamic range and ability to change styles in a song, like Ghost Love Score. I think you might want to look for the Tampere Finland Show because it has FIREWORKS coordinated with the music. Also, I think its a good idea to look for the Tampere Finland show with lyrics, so you can follow along with the lyrics, as there is a lot to take in for this one. Look for the one with Lyrics and Fireworks both.

3. Ever Dream - my absolute all-time favorite Nightwish song. The most high energy song they’ve ever done in my opinion. I think Wembley Arena show is the best one.
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/w-d-xo.html
4. Romanticide - Be prepared because this is one of their heavier songs, and Floor and Marko both do some singing in this, and this one is an amazing thrill ride of a song.
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/w-d-xo.html
5. Elan - (this is an extremely up beat high energy song that just leaves you feeling good). Again Wembley Arena is a great one to react to.
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/XcwrwRKPaEg/w-d-xo.html
6. Alpenglow - (this is JUST a feel good song. And again, this was such a fun song in the Wembley Arena Show).
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/FrJvKZNEh7g/w-d-xo.html
7. Nemo (Nemo is from a Latin word which means no one or nobody. It is about a time in Toumas life when he felt his direction in life was aimless, and without real direction. It’s an awesome song and a HUGE favorite of long time fans. This song was originally written during the Tarja Era).
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/dR1gH5aQWBU/w-d-xo.html
8. Stargazers (this one is an OLD Tarja Era song, and is sung almost entirely in an Operatic style, so if you wanna hear Floor sing Opera in a Metal song, this is the one to listen to. I would do this from the DECADES TOUR).
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/w-d-xo.html
9. Yours Is An Empty Hope (Maybe do this one from the Tampere Finland Show. Be prepared because behind Marcos vocals on the chorus, is Floor growling. You read it correctly, yes she really CAN do everything!!).
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/XtXqUNB8zrU/w-d-xo.html
10. 10th Man Down (this is from the Tarja Era, but Floor nails it perfectly.)
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/Px1YJ0EdNAI/w-d-xo.html
11. Last Ride Of The Day - I would do this from the Wembley Arena Show . This song was the second to the last song for the Wembley Arena Show from the Vehicle Of Spirit Blu-ray/DVD. It is simply one kick ass song.
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/CdfhJmkZRbU/w-d-xo.html
12. 7 Days To The Wolves - This is another kick ass song, and I would do this from the Wembley Arena Show.
Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/w-d-xo.html
After so many Floorgasms, you really need a smoke... 😱🤣🤣🤟

Hiya Gracie welcome to the amazing world of ..night wish ....
Nightwish Army Texas represent!
You, like many others, suffer from Nightwish's limited market. Sadly, I didn't discover them until 2006 or 2007, when a coworker suggested I listen to them. They just aren't marketed outside of Europe very strongly. Now, thanks to the internet and TH-cam, we can fully enjoy them now! Better late than never as they say! Thanks for your reaction!!!
Yeah 😁
Better late than never
Floor is the best from Holland ❤❤❤❤
We are searching the internet for new floorgasms to see. And we found you! Great energy you have. Try Romanticide next. Keep it up. Stay safe. 🇳🇱
😊😊
Love these reaction videos. You're just getting started! I see you haven't done "Pieces" by Jinjer yet. Check out the live session video!
After your reaction to the very first note, I knew this was gonna be good 😂
😁😁
This is one of my favorite ghost love score reaction...I recommend the greatest show on earth (live version)
😁😁
Finnish metal is the best metal of the world. Just like bands like a Wintersun, Children Of Bodom, Nightwish, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Evil Drive, Battle Beast, Beast In Black, Warmen, Elias "Evil" Viljanen, HIM, Apocalyptica, Tarot, Thunderstone, Swallow The Sun, The 69 Eyes, Insomnium, Raskasta Joulua, Jarkko Ahola, Sentenced, Turisas, Stam1na, Brother Firetribe, Kenziner, Tarja Turunen. etc... Check all those bands because i bet you love some of them. Greetings Helsinki, Finland.
Welcome to Nightwish
Dear Gracie, I subscribed because 1) you didn't say "without further ado" before hitting play (reactors, it's NOT COMPULSORY) and 2) you seemed to feel the music. Take care and stay healthy.
Without further ado 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was super excited 😊
Thanks
Hey, you should definitely check out the rest of the wacken show nightwish next wembley 2015, awesome 😎 The singer is Floor Jansen who is Dutch and a professional voice coach as well and she is currently doing covers on her TH-cam channel and a master class online, thanks 😊
