Hey Guys, Sorry for mis-speaking on this reaction calling Floor Tarja (duh). Hopefully the information covered in this video was beneficial to my singing friends out there :-) And yes, there is a big money note at the end you can find here at 9:23 th-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/w-d-xo.html Great monster money note!
Still great and beneficial video for sure. You don't even know yet though lol. And actually even more impressive is that this started 70 minutes into a very active and belted show. You should either see dreflight live by her original band After Forever. It's on my channel after all videos disappeared. Amazing belting and great opera section. Trial of monsters at graspop with her band ReVamp. Really great with action, grit, belting, and again opera parts. Or romanticide from this same concert which started at 55 minutes which really shows the kind of vocal and physical stamina she had. Amazing belts and classical notes. Plus the bass player sings in that one and he has an amazing powerful great rock voice too
Floor isn't as Operatic as Tarja, but I love them both and yes on the Tone and Pitch that is what always sticks out to me Example Early Queensryche "Take Hole Of The Flame" Etc....So Good
I cannot beleive you analyzed her without watching the video all the way through -- you missed the entire reason she was singing in those ranges. It was building up to a grand finale. #Floorgasm
At the time this performance was recorded in Wacken Floor Jansen was still officially a temporary replacement for Annette (who was the female singer who followed Tarja). The band and the fans were so happy with Floor because she could very well sing the songs that were composed for both former singers.
Yes, and some of the epic middle, too. For reaction videos, we aren't allowed to play the whole piece. That's also why we have to stop and comment. They are totally awesome, and encourage everyone to watch the ENTIRE PIECE and more than that, the ENTIRE CONCERT! Amazing!
I see, I will post the same comment lol, yeah that concert it's awesome, but the best version of that song it's live Buenos Aires, you can check that video, it worths
@@kentamplin People have been fine to react to the entire piece in this instance many times, usually talking enough inbetween is all it takes to avoid a takedown afaik.
TerranigmaQuintet What he probably means is that he can’t monetize it if he doesn’t cut it apart. Other reaction channels give away the right to monetize the video to the original band (or record label). A good way to check who gets the money is in the description. If there is a comment like ”this video uses music from...” (or something line that, it’s the last thing in te description box) the band gets ad revenue, if not the reactor takes it.
Thank you for explaining her singing. I've actually met her 2 years ago during a singing masterclass in Rome (she used to teach something during the revamp era, the Rome one was sort of a favour to fans). She gave us some tips and insights. She is a force of the nature however. I've seen nighwish perform the night after at a festival and her stage presence is phenomenal, you can feel her energy all over. Her voice also really improved since the after forever era. One of the best female metal singers out there.
So you think floor has perfect pitch?? Well get ready to get ur mind blown, she isn't just a opera singer. She has range, versatility, and soul. She is just out of this world.
I've seen KISS, AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Metallica live. They were all an absolutely fantastic experience. But really it's just some great songs, bunch of nostalgia and abnormally large crowds. But... Seeing Nightwish live with Floor Jansen is something entirely else. It's like watching a musical theater, everything about it is just epic. The lyrics, the composition, the vocals - everything about it is so perfect, it just flows together and mesmerizes you. If anyone of you have a chance of seeing Nightwish - DO IT. The Poet and the Pendulum in particular, it puts the audience through so many emotions and knowing the meaning and what drove Tuomas to write the song makes it even better. Tuomas is a genius, very few can write songs AND compose such a constant stream of masterpieces. I'm glad he decided to write that song instead of committing suicide, never seen the band this happy before. Thank God for Floor, saving the band from their fall from grace and restoring morale - bringing the band to their absolute best they've ever been.
Ken you just laid down a monster lesson for me. I'm a bit discouraged because of my lack of range and quality but I'll never stop singing because praising God is the highest use of the voice instrument.Thank you always.
Ken, this is FLOOR JANSEN, formerly of After Forever and ReVamp. This is from their performance at Wacken Open Air 2013. Pretty much the single best concert Blu-ray I've EVER seen. Oh, and just wait till she hits THAT. LAST. NOTE!!!!
Yes. My bad for missing the last note. It was not intentional. I just got ahead of myself. My apologies to Floor, and to all of her fans whom I unintentionally gave a case of musicus interruptus.
Im soo happy you picked the version with Floor Jansen. She is a technique freak trained professionally,She put alot of work into details. Before Nightwish she used to give out coaching lessons. There isnt any style She cant do. 🤘👍🇸🇪
Nice reaction. I'm surprised of the amount of thumbs down, however a thumb is a view. You're a very cool dude, and I like you do not give in to those that do not agree with you. GG.
as many here has pointed out this is not Tarja, this is Floor Jansen. Tarja was a opera singer. Floor started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. Ican realy apresiate the history lesson so tu for that one :)
For people wondering why seeing this is SO crazy for some people, when Floor first started singing for Nightwish, she had this "stigma" of being a "belt-only" singer that didn't bring the operatic or pop aspects Tarja and Anette did. Clearly she's a versatile singer and can bring some of those qualities, but for people who don't know Nightwish and their history specifically, this performance surprised a lot of people. I don't know why it's making rounds 5.5 years later, but it's nice to see people appreciating Floor more than when she first joined the band.
What I seriously find most impressive about your reaction, in addition to the very clear expertise you have concerning the matter, is that you actually hit and find the same notes she hits, just like "oh yeah I like how she goes 'ooo-ooo-ooh' and that's this specific style and this is why she does it"
Perfect job Ken like always, finally after few years we got Nightwish video😜. Thanks for do this video with Ghost love score, my favorite song since floor Jansen sing it on buenos aires
I usually hate TH-cam's "reaction" videos cause they all seem fake. But yours I love because you give an honest real reaction to their singing. Awesome videos, love your channel. Peace, brother!
@@kentamplin I would love if you did a video about Bel Canto. I heard from you in a Dimash video that you find it to be the best approach to singing, and the resources out there on the internet are so embarrassing. But if you cover this in your course only, i understand.
Awesome reaction, Ken!! This is my fav song AND my fav band, I got sooo happy to see it here \o/ and I like that your comments are full of experience and knowlegde, thank you for sharing! (Hope to be your student asap 😄)
So glad you did this review! Indeed she's awesome, saw her live 5 years ago :). That's my favourite song from Nightwish, I agree it's got a beautiful and very creative melody. Would be nice to see more opinions from you about her since she's very inspiring :)
Thanks for doing this, Ken. Nightwish are awesome. Floor is great singer as is Marco the bassist. Hope you enjoy many more of their songs, which are of a wide variety. 🤟
@Le Dernier Gaulois Not better, just different. Floor has a much greater diversity when it comes to how many styles she can sing in, and in her ability to switch between them. Tarja, on the other hand, is a wonderful, classically trained vocalist. I;ve never heard a singer in a metal band sing in the same style she does quite as well- and there are a lot of good singers in symphonic metal. So, you have a preference for Floor's diversity over Tarja's classical singing and you have the right to your preferencial opinion. But to say one is 'better' than the other is a statement about skill, not preference. Personally, I love both of them, equally, but for different reasons. But, to state the reasons I need to repeat what I already said about their individual strengths.
That is a good one. What is cool about Phantom Is that it also demonstrates Marko's remarkable ability. OR one can look to some of her solo music. I'd actually recommend any of the three acoustic songs from this video: th-cam.com/video/uUAzRN9Co7s/w-d-xo.html if you would like to demonstrate Tarja's skill.
Phantom of the Opera was tailor-made for tarja, even though i have no doubt Floor can do the high-notes with ease. The strength lay in the interaction between Tarja and Marco. Still as long as Floor doesn't do her version of it, people will keep defending Tarja just for that song;.
Btw,- full name and titles: Her Highness The High Priestess Her Grace The Living Morgaine LaFey The Princess Of Darkness The Queen Of The Netherworld The Goddess Floor Jansen Bow,- mortal!
Ohhhh! And I love Lzzy Hale!! Haaah I now understand why, as ,by the way, I never loved Opera too much to say.. I do love Tarja and Simone Simons, for instance, and some more...Amy Lee has been another beloved one to me, and I ´m still learning from her ...she is awesome..! Its 5 am and I am awake do to this video..Thanks again! Such an interesting video, great stuff ,really!
12:20.Man, you 're completely right !!Jajjajaj it made me laugh , too..some strange sound XD...I love bluesy a lot more, but without forgetting Bel Canto...of course!
One thing... This isn't Tarja Turunen (1st singer for Nightwish), this is Floor Jansen (3rd singer). Most people react to this version, and they tend not to mention about the song being operatic, as while Floor can sing operatic, it is by no means all she can do. She is a more mixed singer. Reason I mention this is because it kind of ruins the premise of your review :/ Your going into it to review Tarja's operatic style, but that's not what you are seeing lol. Oh ouch, you cut the song off before the note that everyone is going to be flocking here to see. Not cool man. At least finish the song, you just missed out on a hell of a belted note at the end.
I am glad you liked the band, and don't worry, you are not the first vocal coach I have seen on TH-cam get the singers mixed up. I am interested in seeing how you would react to Unleash The Archers.
Watched Floor Jansen (in this vid it's Floor Jansen singing, not Tarja... at this time Tarja isn't a bandmember anymore for like 8 years) with her band After Forever back in 2003 and I just loved her approach to singing from the very first minute. I think I saw After Forever on 10 different occasions and was blown away every time. Back then she was 22. What a talent!
what a nice surprise I found today on TH-cam! Ken, thank you very much for detailed analysis. Very happy that you chose exactly this song. This is my favorite . So much unexpected moments, specialy with chest register, always thought that there a lot of head voice, but now I know what is my next challenge . Looking forward for next videos :)
Oh man, I think you missed a golden opportunity here to actually explore the full piece as a whole (instrumental as well as the vocal). So, so much can be pulled out of this performance for educational and analytical means. I get that this piece is quite long, but it also belongs in that category where it is worth hearing because the entire score is rich in quality musicality, texture and style from start to finish.
Lol Ken, I almost clicked off when you said you were reacting to Tarja singing. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I love Floor, here voice is smooth to me. I’m glad you went back and got the epic ending. Great information!
Hi Ken, I love the way you walked us through this song. I was so interested in the way you explained what's going on, I'm nodding the whole time.....like yes yes yes. lol. My eyes are glued to your words, and ears thoroughly listening! Very interesting on the opera information. You are in my opinion, no doubt, the best vocal coach ever! Keep up the great work!
This is Floor Jansen but Tarja the 1st singer also did this song. She was more operatic and trained for it and also sounds great . I would love to get your review and reaction to her version. They are both LIVE versions and this band haas to be heard LIVE to be appreciated (no auto tune or studio enhancements). Floor is a real power house with a real stage presence on top of her diverse vocal range. She has drawn many old fans and hordes of new ones to Nightwish. She can sing anything and sounds great doing especially LIVE where she seems to thrive.
I’ve seen Nightwish live 5 times since I’m from Finland, and Ghost Love Score wows me everytime! You should also check out another Finnish band’s song: Sonata Arctica - White pearl, black oceans live. The vocalist is Tony Kakko: one of the best power metal male vocalist with 4 octave range. He is in fact best friends with Nightwish members and sung in few Nightwish songs and also sung a song with Floor in Nightwish’s latest live dvd.
Wonderful analysis! Everything you said made perfect sense and I was able to hear the transitions in her voice. I've learned more about singing in this single video than my entire life. Thank you for that!! PS I'm a little sad you missed the Floorgasm :/ PPS you redeemed yourself Haha. Great videos, I look forward to the other ones, already learning so much!
Not a very well prepared review. Not knowing the correct name of the singer and not listening to the end of the song missing the best part. Very dissappointing. No thumbs up!
The history lesson was definitely worth it. I studied opera for a couple of years and although I am a jazz and blues singer now, I definitely think that this knowledge is important. I love how she mixes the voices up! Thanks, again for a great video, Ken.
Hey ken. One lesser known fact about Floor is that she is also a vocal coach. As for her other work, she was lead vocalist for a band called Revamp. You may like to check out her covers for Alone and Bad Romance, they are very good and showcase her other vocal styles.
I think we can safely say that Floor can prove her own teachings work by virtue of her own accomplishments, Wendy. Her students have an amazing teacher.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy oh yes. This is evident if you listen to their bass player Marco, comparing his voice from the early days to now, I think I can safely assume he is a Floor student. A fun little observation.
Whoa! I didn't think you would actually do this one. I love it how you're halfway your video and not even halfway the song lolz. I thought this was a very thorough video explaining how opera works and was very informative. I don't recall Floor sing any bluesy song but she did a cover of "Heart - Alone" once live with Marco and Troy and Puccini Aria live on a TV show. Overall, great video!
I'm sorry mate. I love your reaction! It was honest and very professional, but the fact you missed the "floorgasm" still hurts me a lot. I'm sure you have heard it by now, but I wish so much I would have heart it. You seems like a really nice guy so I subscribed.
Might wanna correct the Vocalist at 0:12 this is Floor Jensen. Tarja left the band way back 2006 or 2007. Also you skipped the best bit at the end, usually good to watch the performance till the end.
Since you missed the floorgasm, I think you own us a Tarja song. Try Tarja-Supremacy(hellfest). She held a C#6 note there and sings low note with heavy chest tone
Ok I never leave comments but here is mine: I love Nightwish's songs and I watched a lot of reactions even of others "Vocal Couch" ; My personal consideration is: "Damn, finally I am watching a real professionist doing a real reaction on the voice quality of this Singer". I would love to learn by someone as you, Good Job man!
Everyone always calls her a soprano but I saw an interview where she says she see's that but it isnt the case...and she hasnt done opera she knows she has the voice for it and has done it but shes not trained in it or likes it. She likes what she does.
New subscriber and aspiring singer Ken. This was the most educated, descriptive and enlightening reaction I've come across to date. Definitely going to check out your singing lessons. A great Tarja song to react to would be "phantom of the opera" but the live version, or even Tarja's version of this song. Please keep the great content coming.
This live version is sung by Floor Jansen, the current singer. The original studio-version was recorded by Tarja. She was much more "operatic" than Floor. Still an interesting video. Thumbs up.
Yes, Bbs, thank you. I made a mistake calling Floor "Tarja" who was actually in the band when it first formed. Floor is doing an incredible job in that role now.
Could you react to their cover of Phantom of the Opera? Really showcases the elements you're discussing, as it's a Musical Theatre song (not to mention it's an amazing cover too!) And actually sung by Tarja too 😂
@@kentamplin Yes i agree that :) and that will be really Tarja's singing. And also you can hear the bassist Marco Hietala singing Also. And especially this version live. th-cam.com/video/loaKHHdPo-Q/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for all the detail you gave us on the different vocal styles. It was much appreciated. We all knew that she killed these vocal and now we know how she does it.

Hey Guys,
Sorry for mis-speaking on this reaction calling Floor Tarja (duh). Hopefully the information covered in this video was beneficial to my singing friends out there :-)
And yes, there is a big money note at the end you can find here at 9:23 th-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/w-d-xo.html
Great monster money note!
dude, tarja instead of floor and missing the floorgasm!!!???!!! time for a reupload
What about take 2?
Still great and beneficial video for sure.
You don't even know yet though lol.
And actually even more impressive is that this started 70 minutes into a very active and belted show.
You should either see dreflight live by her original band After Forever. It's on my channel after all videos disappeared.
Amazing belting and great opera section.
Trial of monsters at graspop with her band ReVamp. Really great with action, grit, belting, and again opera parts.
Or romanticide from this same concert which started at 55 minutes which really shows the kind of vocal and physical stamina she had. Amazing belts and classical notes. Plus the bass player sings in that one and he has an amazing powerful great rock voice too
Floor isn't as Operatic as Tarja, but I love them both and yes on the Tone and Pitch that is what always sticks out to me Example Early Queensryche "Take Hole Of The Flame" Etc....So Good
Hello, Ken, is there a chance that you consider to make a cover of this song? I mean by one of your beautiful students)
Oh no you missed the floorgasm near the end😱
I apologize for that.
This is becoming the norm lol
Yeah, he cut off the best note of the song !. Bro how can we take serious when you do this .. gahhh
@@kentamplin The song that got me into nIghtwish, Love this band

Her name is Floor cause that's where your jaw willbe when u hear her sing
wopjohn and she’s so tall I’m surprised she’s not called Ceiling Jansen
Yea internet says she's 6'0.
Nightwish turns your world upside down because Floor is the top!
Nice-- fortunately, this was Floor Jansen.. Tarja was the first singer and she does the song justice too... My preference is this singer.. Thank You
You tell them MAD!😉
Yes stupid mistake on my part...
tarja > all
KTVA KTVA here she sings puchinni th-cam.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/w-d-xo.html
Yep, this is Floor and you cut out the end..The very best part( Floorgasm).. Nice info., though..
I'm glad you like the info that is helpful, and I'm very sorry for the two mistakes I made.

I think my mind IS blown. And I agree that she's awesome!
Floor is a musical chameleon ... She's an absolute powerhouse, amazing breath control and such clean pure vocals ..I love her
🦎🦎🦎
Why not watch the full video!? And this is Floor Jansen not Tarja Turunen, cmon man.
Sorry Ken but the actual Singer is Floor Jansen
I know duh on me!!!
Bit of trivia: Floor was a vocal coach herself
Is*
A Saturday night and I came across this video. I learned so much. No one come close to matching Kens expert information.
I've seen KISS, AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Metallica live. They were all an absolutely fantastic experience. But really it's just some great songs, bunch of nostalgia and abnormally large crowds.
But... Seeing Nightwish live with Floor Jansen is something entirely else. It's like watching a musical theater, everything about it is just epic.
The lyrics, the composition, the vocals - everything about it is so perfect, it just flows together and mesmerizes you.
If anyone of you have a chance of seeing Nightwish - DO IT.
The Poet and the Pendulum in particular, it puts the audience through so many emotions and knowing the meaning and what drove Tuomas to write the song makes it even better.
Tuomas is a genius, very few can write songs AND compose such a constant stream of masterpieces. I'm glad he decided to write that song instead of committing suicide, never seen the band this happy before.
Thank God for Floor, saving the band from their fall from grace and restoring morale - bringing the band to their absolute best they've ever been.
Absolutely, Dealman!
Ken you just laid down a monster lesson for me. I'm a bit discouraged because of my lack of range and quality but I'll never stop singing because praising God is the highest use of the voice instrument.Thank you always.
Ken, this is FLOOR JANSEN, formerly of After Forever and ReVamp. This is from their performance at Wacken Open Air 2013. Pretty much the single best concert Blu-ray I've EVER seen. Oh, and just wait till she hits THAT. LAST. NOTE!!!!
Yes. My bad for missing the last note. It was not intentional. I just got ahead of myself. My apologies to Floor, and to all of her fans whom I unintentionally gave a case of musicus interruptus.
No worries Sensei Ken,last I checked only Jesus is perfect :) not you nor I :) accident's happen :)
Im soo happy you picked the version with Floor Jansen.
She is a technique freak trained professionally,She put alot of work into details.
Before Nightwish she used to give out coaching lessons.
There isnt any style She cant do.
🤘👍🇸🇪
She is awesome, Nicke!
I've always loved Nightwish but with Floor Jansen as lead singer they really reached new hights! Her voice is so beautiful and versatile!

One thing... This isn't Tarja Turunen (1st singer for Nightwish), this is Floor Jansen (3rd singer). Most people react to this version, and they tend not to mention about the song being operatic, as while Floor can sing operatic, it is by no means all she can do. She is a more mixed singer.
Reason I mention this is because it kind of ruins the premise of your review :/ Your going into it to review Tarja's operatic style, but that's not what you are seeing lol.
Oh ouch, you cut the song off before the note that everyone is going to be flocking here to see. Not cool man. At least finish the song, you just missed out on a hell of a belted note at the end.
I am glad you liked the band, and don't worry, you are not the first vocal coach I have seen on TH-cam get the singers mixed up.
I am interested in seeing how you would react to Unleash The Archers.
Watched Floor Jansen (in this vid it's Floor Jansen singing, not Tarja... at this time Tarja isn't a bandmember anymore for like 8 years) with her band After Forever back in 2003 and I just loved her approach to singing from the very first minute. I think I saw After Forever on 10 different occasions and was blown away every time. Back then she was 22. What a talent!
what a nice surprise I found today on TH-cam! Ken, thank you very much for detailed analysis. Very happy that you chose exactly this song. This is my favorite . So much unexpected moments, specialy with chest register, always thought that there a lot of head voice, but now I know what is my next challenge . Looking forward for next videos :)
That is great to hear Alina!
WTH!!! YOU missed the FLoorgasm lol, re-do this with the ending
Thanks for the suggestion, Lundqvist!
Yeah would be nice a re-do but with Buenos Aires live video 💕
Oh man, I think you missed a golden opportunity here to actually explore the full piece as a whole (instrumental as well as the vocal). So, so much can be pulled out of this performance for educational and analytical means. I get that this piece is quite long, but it also belongs in that category where it is worth hearing because the entire score is rich in quality musicality, texture and style from start to finish.
Lol Ken, I almost clicked off when you said you were reacting to Tarja singing. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I love Floor, here voice is smooth to me. I’m glad you went back and got the epic ending. Great information!
I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks Jennifer Evans!
Hi Ken, I love the way you walked us through this song. I was so interested in the way you explained what's going on, I'm nodding the whole time.....like yes yes yes. lol. My eyes are glued to your words, and ears thoroughly listening! Very interesting on the opera information. You are in my opinion, no doubt, the best vocal coach ever! Keep up the great work!
Thank you starburstppl, and I am do glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much!!! I loved this reaction! I'm so happy about those informations that you brought to us!
Thank you again!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Lucas. Thanks for your kind remarks.
This is Floor Jansen but Tarja the 1st singer also did this song. She was more operatic and trained for it and also sounds great . I would love to get your review and reaction to her version. They are both LIVE versions and this band haas to be heard LIVE to be appreciated (no auto tune or studio enhancements). Floor is a real power house with a real stage presence on top of her diverse vocal range. She has drawn many old fans and hordes of new ones to Nightwish. She can sing anything and sounds great doing especially LIVE where she seems to thrive.
I’ve seen Nightwish live 5 times since I’m from Finland, and Ghost Love Score wows me everytime!
You should also check out another Finnish band’s song: Sonata Arctica - White pearl, black oceans live. The vocalist is Tony Kakko: one of the best power metal male vocalist with 4 octave range.
He is in fact best friends with Nightwish members and sung in few Nightwish songs and also sung a song with Floor in Nightwish’s latest live dvd.
Thanks for the suggestion Sanp Vhati!
Wonderful analysis! Everything you said made perfect sense and I was able to hear the transitions in her voice. I've learned more about singing in this single video than my entire life. Thank you for that!!
PS I'm a little sad you missed the Floorgasm :/
PPS you redeemed yourself Haha. Great videos, I look forward to the other ones, already learning so much!
Not a very well prepared review. Not knowing the correct name of the singer and not listening to the end of the song missing the best part. Very dissappointing. No thumbs up!
The history lesson was definitely worth it. I studied opera for a couple of years and although I am a jazz and blues singer now, I definitely think that this knowledge is important. I love how she mixes the voices up! Thanks, again for a great video, Ken.
The best singer of the planet...Hail to the queen Floor Jansen🤘🔥
Thanks for the visit!
Nightwish sounds Magnificent !!! , enjoyed it !! awesome reaction video ken!!! 😁🖒
Thank you for your expertise of the breakdown of this beautiful masterpiece. I appreciate it. The band members are beyond talented.
You're welcome George, and yes they are!
that explanation about technical opera was pure gold
That's not Tarja. It's Floor, who came after Tarja left. Tarja is much more operatic than Floor.
There was Annette after Tarja. Floor is already the third singer
@@peterw.4737 And yet she also came after Tarja. Mystery of mysteries!
Really interesting insight Ken. Thxs again Wilf
Hey ken. One lesser known fact about Floor is that she is also a vocal coach. As for her other work, she was lead vocalist for a band called Revamp. You may like to check out her covers for Alone and Bad Romance, they are very good and showcase her other vocal styles.
I think we can safely say that Floor can prove her own teachings work by virtue of her own accomplishments, Wendy. Her students have an amazing teacher.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy oh yes. This is evident if you listen to their bass player Marco, comparing his voice from the early days to now, I think I can safely assume he is a Floor student. A fun little observation.
Whoa! I didn't think you would actually do this one. I love it how you're halfway your video and not even halfway the song lolz. I thought this was a very thorough video explaining how opera works and was very informative. I don't recall Floor sing any bluesy song but she did a cover of "Heart - Alone" once live with Marco and Troy and Puccini Aria live on a TV show. Overall, great video!
Thanks EucalyptaYukari!
Please do the reaction again without cutting out the most beautiful floorgasm
Another find lesson from ken You are absolutely great and looking forward to More stuff in the Future.
I'm sorry mate. I love your reaction! It was honest and very professional, but the fact you missed the "floorgasm" still hurts me a lot. I'm sure you have heard it by now, but I wish so much I would have heart it. You seems like a really nice guy so I subscribed.
Thank you for subscribing, sulosky.
OH MY GOD! YOU TOO!? (pardon the caps) I mean the Ghost Love Score reactions are really getting popular.
you missed the best part!!
Always enjoy your excitement for the voice! Thanks Brother!
Might wanna correct the Vocalist at 0:12 this is Floor Jensen. Tarja left the band way back 2006 or 2007. Also you skipped the best bit at the end, usually good to watch the performance till the end.
tarja left nightwish in 2005 after end of an era concert .
Thank you for your detailed wisdom! I love your positive attitude and sharp focus! A true master teacher!
I bet this guy drinks a lot of coffee. I mean a LOT.
I believe, he injects it.
The history lesson and the analysis of her voice was really amazing. A lot of respect to you as a vocal coach, Ken.
JaguarStar Happy to hear that. Thank you!
Since you missed the floorgasm, I think you own us a Tarja song.
Try Tarja-Supremacy(hellfest). She held a C#6 note there and sings low note with heavy chest tone
Ok I never leave comments but here is mine: I love Nightwish's songs and I watched a lot of reactions even of others "Vocal Couch" ;
My personal consideration is: "Damn, finally I am watching a real professionist doing a real reaction on the voice quality of this Singer".
I would love to learn by someone as you, Good Job man!
Thanks Michael, and you can! Check out my singing course kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
Everyone always calls her a soprano but I saw an interview where she says she see's that but it isnt the case...and she hasnt done opera she knows she has the voice for it and has done it but shes not trained in it or likes it. She likes what she does.
KEN TAMPLIN
Sorry, I am late! Great reaction! Thank you for explaining!
Thanks ROCKETJEFF!
New subscriber and aspiring singer Ken. This was the most educated, descriptive and enlightening reaction I've come across to date. Definitely going to check out your singing lessons.
A great Tarja song to react to would be "phantom of the opera" but the live version, or even Tarja's version of this song.
Please keep the great content coming.
Very good reaction, I love your technical explanations. Thanks.
Thanks, Joao!
YES! I AM HERE BEFORE ANN!! HA! Nice reaction btw, Sir. But..... U... U... U skipped the floorgasm!!!!!!???!
holy crap - you have an amazing "female operatic voice" for a man - i was not expecting that dude - impressive :)
Thanks Ger Gemini!
This live version is sung by Floor Jansen, the current singer. The original studio-version was recorded by Tarja. She was much more "operatic" than Floor. Still an interesting video. Thumbs up.
Yes, Bbs, thank you. I made a mistake calling Floor "Tarja" who was actually in the band when it first formed. Floor is doing an incredible job in that role now.
@@kentamplin 😍🌹❤
Ken thank you so much for the video :) i'm fan of Nightwish and i follow your channel so this is a perfect video for me !!
You are an awesome coach! Thanks! Really💜 just...don't miss the last part ever again hahaha it is just too good
Could you react to their cover of Phantom of the Opera? Really showcases the elements you're discussing, as it's a Musical Theatre song (not to mention it's an amazing cover too!)
And actually sung by Tarja too 😂
Thanks for the suggestion, Marcus!
@@kentamplin Yes i agree that :) and that will be really Tarja's singing. And also you can hear the bassist Marco Hietala singing Also. And especially this version live. th-cam.com/video/loaKHHdPo-Q/w-d-xo.html
Ken, every one word you said is so meaningfull!!!
Ahh you cut the high G# out at the end,heaven felt that note.
Floor Jensen is a godess 💓💓💓👏👏👏👏👏👏 greetings Ken ✌✌✌
More nightwish!
Thanks, tooquick240!
This singer is Floor Jansen, but regardless, absolutely fantastic.
Thanks, ArmoredJesse!
I really enjoy watching ur videos on my way home. Rock on Ken!
Thanks Joseph!
Thank you for all the detail you gave us on the different vocal styles. It was much appreciated. We all knew that she killed these vocal and now we know how she does it.
So glad it was helpful to you 41 swashbuckler!
Been watching your videos for years. The vast amount of knowledge you have is just amazing. Love from Sri Lanka
Thanks, Aaron!
I really think you should re-do this video with the last minutes included, but you got my thumb up just because of the great analysis!
Floor is a valkyrie with a voice to match :D
Floor is Awesome, Galadria93!
