      True! I feel like this is where Floor was really truly debuted to the world as the voice of Nightwish. I mean, she'd already been touring with them, but the broad reach of this venue, plus these videos...
      Given how much impact she's had on Nightwish and its fan base, I feel like this show was one of the biggest moments in Nightwish history, perhaps the most definitive and permanent markers of their style and flavor.

    you couldn't have a more versatile singer with a bigger sound than her and Nightwish and this song that really helps to showcase what compositions go what mister Tuomas Holopainen and company can do is so intellectually stimulating because no one puts heavy metal and the sounds and colors of the symphony together and they do it with such elegance and raw power this song is another where everyone can shine they have alot of songs like that

    • @rientsdijkstra4266
      @rientsdijkstra4266 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Reaction by Opera stage director on YT: "in this way Floor is even better then most big Opera singers: whereas the Opera stars often have difficulty in transitioning from the operatic range to the chest voice (which they not often use) they often "clunk" from the one to the other. The amazing thing about Floor Jansen is that she can effortlessly and fluently transition between these registers, make mixes at will etc. This is something most Opera stars Can NOT do..."

The drummer sounds like he has 3 arms!" I raised my eyebrow a bit. "What genre of music? Sounds familiar..." She thought for a moment and said, "I think it's Swedish Black Metal, but I'm not sure. You should check them out." Obviously a bit off with the names and genre, but seriously, how awesome is it for a 70 year old to be rocking out to Nightwish? :)

      Can you imagine...? (Obviously you can!). TH doing a two CD set for Christmas? One CD a Concerto' written and arranged by TH including symphony and choral work? CD 2 could be classic Christmas Hymms / Carols? Can you imagine a TH arrangement of "Oh come Emmanuel?" I would weep from the first note to the last... (I do already). Love the idea!
      I just inquired about VIP packages for NW's April 26th, 2015 show. I'd really enjoy the opportunity to meet the band and have pics taken with them. Of course (Withmy Wife's blessing) I would want one with just Floor and I... Whew!
      My youngest has got to go back stage twice to meet and revisit with Country Star "Toby Keith". The last show this year he actually played a song Connor-Andrew requested and dedicated it to him before performing it. When he finished it he said "I love you Connor-Andrew my Little-Buddy"). TK is alright in my book though I'm not a country music guy. CA gets that through is Grandparents. :-)

      I agree with Richard, Tuomas deserves more credit. Well MOST of the credit of course. Without great songs a band is basically a zero - no matter how well you play or sing those songs. World is full of excellent players and singers with rubbish material to play and sing. So it's obvious who we should be primarily thanking for for the success of Nightwish.

Marco has a great personality on stage and is very talented both instrumentally and vocally.Emmpu is also a great guitar player, watch him in romanticide live in wacken 2013. Yukka is also a great drummer and so is Kai. And Troy is great also. So they have a great team and an excellent songwriter! That's why they work so well.

    Once I wished for this night

    It's time to cut the rope and fly
    Fly to a dream
    Far across the sea
    All the burdens gone
    Open the chest once more
    Dark chest of wonders
    Seen through the eyes
    Of the one with pure heart
    Once so long ago
    The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me
    This night will bring him back to me
    Fly to a dream

    What I like best about Floor is the fact she takes each song in the Nightwish catalog, which is vast....and makes each song her own. It's like she had the songs re-recorded just for her to perform live. Floor DOES NOT mimic, copy or replicate Nightwish's songs, which were previously written for Tarja and Anette, respectively, to fit their vocal styles and range. Floor makes each song her very own, like they were written for her. And that is why I feel Floor is THE best vocalist Nightwish has had and currently has.

      Floor can sing almost every Anette song better then her aside from the couple in Imaginarium that were tailored for her lack of vocal range. Floor doesn't use operatic voice like Tarja, because the band didn't want her to. Tarja is still probably better at that style, but she specializes in that vocal style after all. Floor is far more versatile.

    I first started to listen to Nightwish back when Tarja was the vocalist. I continued to listen to them when Anetta joined followed by Floor Jansen. This is my humble opinion :) When I first started to listen to Nightwish, they had a very Gothic sound to them that Tarja seemed to bring (my girlfriend at the time thought they sounded "scary" because of Tarjas voice lol). When Anetta came, I thought she was alright, but she seemed to bring a more pop type of flavor to everything. Also, when Anetta would sing live, she would have trouble hitting the high parts that Tarja would easily do (Dark Chest of wonders as an example). To be fair, those songs were not written with her voice in mind, but rather Tarjas. Then I heard Floor Jansen. She has so much power in her voice. She doesn't bring the "opera" type of feel to her vocals, but to me personally, she is the best fit for the band that I have heard since Tarja left. I watched this video and wondered how she would do with "Dark Chest of Wonders, (I had never heard her sing it) and my mouth just dropped!. Fantastic voice with so much power and versatility and she seems to have so much stage presence. (watch her sing live at Wacken 2013 performing "Wish I had an angel") Great singer in my opinion. Anyway, these were just the humble observations of a long time listener :)

      I have to disagree, it's 50% she wants to give her own mark to them songs and 50% she can't handle some of the notes and vocal gymnastics of Tarja; You can hear it when she performs songs such as Wishmaster, The Siren, Phantom of the opera where it seems she's singing "light" versions of the songs because she knows her forte(chest vocals) and, like any singer, she doesn't want to go flat so she lowers the key a bit.
