Hello Jasmine & Connor [ Double Take ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 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. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! General Gabriel Bardac entered ! This is called Symphonic Metal !!! Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora. Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6). She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉. Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. And the master of this magic is: Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish) Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot. This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people (one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world and one of the largest open-air festivals in Germany). The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival. We hope, that there is more coming. NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA/PauFan🤘😎🤘.

She is phenomenal,a true Swiss Army Knife vocal goddess...Any style Any Genre , Any language.

Hello Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. And they make Symphonic Metal. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestions. Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
this is the most reacted to video in the history of TH-cam video reactions........this is Floor (the Valkyrie Goddess) Janson, who's a bit over six feet tall, and wearing 4 to 5 inch heels as well.......Tuomas (the Metal Mozart) Holopainen is the keyboardist, co-founder (in 1996) , leader, guru, composer, lyricist, arranger, and producer of 95% of the band's music.......audience here was an intimate little gathering of 82,000.......hello from the Nightwish Army, South Carolina, USA.......

Welcome to Nightwish guys and the third most versatile singer, Floor Jansen, the 6ft Dutchwoman. It's a massive rabbit hole to follow. 13 more songs plus an instrumental at this concert. And that's just a start. Greetings from the UK.
NW Army Canada thanks you for reacting to Nightwish! 🪖General Gabriel 🪖has given you the information needed, I will just add that if you choose to go down their rabbit hole I would be happy to accompany you on your journey! Watching for your next Nightwish reaction.
Wacken is a festival in Germany. Many different bands play in front of 82000 fans of different bands. How do you get 82000 fans of different bands under control? Floor Jansen is sent on stage with Nightwish. In my opinion, Floor Jansen is one of the best singers in the world. Not only in rock. This woman can sing anything and because her fans always said she could sing from a phone book and they would listen, she really did that one day. No joke and it sounded great.

Nightwish Army New Zealand Trench division reporting in. Welcome Beautiful people to Nightwish Symphonic metal. They are a Finnish band with a British member named Troy Donockley and a Dutch member lead vocalist Floor Jansen. They use tracks recorded from the Philharmonic Orchestra London. And the rests is live. No two songs are fully the same.
Nightwish is a finnish symphonic metal band, founded in the 90's by keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, aka Metal Mozart, who also is the main composer, and lyricist of the band. Floor is their third, and current singer. She is dutch, but lives here in Sweden, and is married to the drummer of the swedish metal band Sabaton. If you want to know her a bit better, she has some interesting, fun, and reaction worthy stuff on her TH-cam channel. Emppu is the guitarist, and is lovingly referred to as the hobbit. Marko Hietala, aka metal Gandalf, the bass player, is not with the band anymore, sadly. He is also a very good singer, which you will notice if you continue down this rabbit hole. Behind the kit we had Jukka Nevalainen, I say "had" because he had to step down from his kit due to health reasons, Insomnia, I think. He is working with the band behind the scenes, at least I think he still is. Another member, who isn't on stage for this song, is british multi instrumentalist and singer Troy Donockley. Speaking of Troy, he is part of a little side project called Auri, together with Tuomas and his wife Johanna. Tuomas also did a soundtrack of sorts to the graphic novel about Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa. The album is called The Life And Times of Scrooge. The Duckburgh universe is popular here in Scandinavia. By the way, the girl in the crowd you said wanted the camera out of her face, her smile says she is loving every second of that show, and during another song, you can see her blow a kiss to the camera, so I don't think she is minding it all that much 😁 What next? Romanticide at the same show maybe.
Un coucou de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France, avec un peu de retard, très bonne réaction à l'écoute du plus grand groupe du monde pour ma part. Mes amis vous venez de faire connaissance du métal symphonique et de notre reine Floor, mais vous n'avez qu'effleuré le dessus de l'iceberg et vous n'êtes qu'a l'entrée du terrier de lapin. Je vous souhaite de bons floorgasmes et continuez vos réactions nous serons toujours derrière vous pour vous soutenir pour notre groupe...... Encore plus d'écoutes s'il vous plait...... Merci. Continuez sur le festival du Wacken Open Air 2013, vous êtes sur de ne pas vous tromper, les quinze chansons du set sont des classiques pour tous les fans du groupe et sont à écouter absolument. Vous venez d'écouter la 13ème chanson du set ( un incontournable ), ensuite faites le Ever Dream qui commence comme une douce ballade voix piano et sur un signe de Marko ( le bassiste ) continue d'accélérer pour finir comme un train à grande vitesse et en même temps de faire la connaissance de la voix de Marko, ou écoutez une petite histoire, un bon rock avec un refrain qui reste longtemps en tête avec Storytime ou alors du plus lourd avec Ghost River pour entendre le mélange magnifique des voix de Floor avec Marko ( merveilleuse harmonie ) ou encore plus lourd avec Romanticide ..... Et je pense que notre ami Gabriel Bardac devait arriver sous peu, ou être déjà passé ( Un grand MERCI à Gabriel d'avoir repris le flambeau de notre regrettée Anne ) , allez sur son mur, cliquez son nom et allez sur communauté, vous pourrez suivre sa liste en toute confiance avec les meilleurs mixages à la bonne vitesse et avec le meilleur audio mais ce n'est pas une obligation, juste un sage conseil pour entendre une petite partie du meilleur du groupe. Continuez les filets du groupe sont tendus et il vous sera très difficile de vous en sortir, plus de NIGHTWISH s'il vous plait et bienvenu à vous...... Bonne écoute et à bientôt, et un nouvel abonné ici.......Paix et amour sur vous mes amis, ............ PS: Vous pouvez aussi faire un excellent choix pour : le fantôme de l'opéra et, si vous le voulez, essayez les deux versions du groupe à 17 ans d'écart, merci d'avance.
I'm so happy for you to have discovered this band - so much joy awaits. Unarguably one of the best bands ever, and not just in metal, but of all music genres...and Floor Jansen the singer is unequaled for her combination of vocal ability, innate musical understanding, story telling, and stage presence. Nightwish are one of those bands that change your life for the better.
124 Spider here. Nightwish Army Soldier present for duty. Hello from Portugal. Our General GABRIEL BARDAC will guide you on this incredible journey of discovery.
to name a few songs i think you will love are 7 days to the wolves / greatest show on earth/ ever dream / story time/ week fantercy /evlen jig elven path and many more all live of course your in for 1 hell of a treat❤❤❤❤
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Nightwish Army South Germany reporting on duty. Follow our General Gabriel.....he will lead you the first steps into the rabbit hole...... Rock On.......
Hi Guys, greetings from UK Thanks for reacting to my favourite band "Fucking Hell" and "Wow Wow Wow" are some of the usual expletives when people first hear Nightwish 🤣🤣🤣 I enjoyed your reaction, and I hope to hear more in the future
You need to check beste zangers. Floor jansen singing shallow. It's a cover of a lady gaga song. It's shows a different side of floor and is incredible ❤
Floor is there 3rd singer and by far there best this is floors first big outing with them it took me 5 years to fall instantly in love with a band as fast as i did with obviously I'm talking about the warning instant love for them
I really love it when double reactors (pfffeew boom!) have a lot of chemestry! I loved your reaction and think you wnat to hear Floor growl in the next one! Do 'Your's an empty hope' live next please?
Greetings Jasmine & Connor, Nightwish Army, Indonesia reporting. So glad you've finally found Nightwish..... we can't have you suffering for ever and a nice reaction too. I see our leader Gabriel has made contact so if you decide to go down this amazing rabbithole you'll be in safe hands.
You mentioned that Floor's singing sounded like opera. She has classical and operatic training, as well as a gritty rock/metal technique, even harsh growls. I've never heard another singer with such a wide variety of techniques that are flawlessly mixed, even in a single song. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbithole!
O boy you are jumping down a rabbit hole with floor and nightwish a finish symphonic metal band even though been around for 20+ years i only found them around 5;years ago and this is like yours my first introduction to them
Hi Double Takes Reacts, i loved to see your reaction video of Nightwish. For me they are the best band in the world 😍 I also have another recommendation for you. If you like surprises and prog music, then try this masterpiece of our Dutch genius Arjen Anthony Lucassen with 11 awesome singers (I won't spoil who they are, but i think you will recognize some of them 😉): Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down. Here is the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/w-d-xo.html You will be blown away by all the talented musicians and singers! You won't be dissappointed....I PROMISE! Hope to see your reaction to this masterpiece soon and for now....Greetings, stay safe and lots of love from The Netherlands, Martin.
Even though there two totally different bands there talents of stage presents is phenomenal this is just the tip of the iceberg floors vocal range power phenomenal from her high belts to full on metal growling they do get hever floors full on grow is evedent in the song yours is an empty hope if i hope you react to that check out the london 1 its epic
Pirates of the Caribbean vibe is absolutely right. The song was written in 2003, when the first part was in cinemas. I know an opera singer who makes reaction videos on TH-cam and says that when he closes his eyes he hears an opera singer. Floor rejects this for herself. She was only interested in training her head voice and therefore studied the basics of classical music. Thank you for not comparing her to Amy Lee / Evanescence, as many do. Floor's vocal range is not that extraordinary. The average person has 2 octaves with training, Floor has 3.5 (which you should have as a professional singer) and there are 8 useful octaves of the human voice. What makes Floor special is that she is a vocal nerd and is constantly testing the limits of her voice. What you admires is about 30 years of daily training. The flexibility of her voice makes her the best of the three Nightwish singers for many. Mastermind and keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen says little to nothing about the content of his songs. He wants people to find their own way of approaching the songs. In my opinion, he is ending his friendship with the first singer, Tarja Turunen. In 2001, Tarja announced to the band that she was leaving the band because she would be finishing her classical studies in Germany in 2002/03. The band was able to persuade her to continue working with the band after that, but under Tarja's conditions. The song was written in 2003, when the friendship had turned into a business relationship. In 2005, the band fired her and accused her of turning into a diva. Tuomas writes almost all the songs. The other band members and orchestrator are there to remind him that singers have to breathe, not everyone can use 10 fingers and that there is a better way to implement his ideas.
Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division saying welcome to Symphonic Metal with Nightwish and the Valkryre Queen Floor Jansen . New subscriber now . If I may suggest there song "Storytime" from the same show Wacken 2013 show in front of 82 k People and they were the headliner - th-cam.com/video/Lxox2BiLap8/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUfbmlnaHR3aXNoIHN0b3J5dGltZSB3aXRoIGx5cmljcw%3
I highly suggest to listen to Floors band ReVamp. with straight forward metalriffs: Disdain live at Graspop 2010. th-cam.com/video/iNSf64M9uA0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pDFIwHKCj8CdJVdG
Thnx 4 this. Go on with the stuff. Welcome to the Nightwish army^^. Please listen to song of myself at Wacken. And, i am sure this will leave you speachless, the Gratest show on earth at Tampere. Due to Marco's voice , the wiking bassman, give "The Islander" also at Tampere a try. And frist of all, Ghost love score at Wacken. Floor Jansen will take over^^
I foresee if you follow Gabriel_Bardac's list, one song a week, by the time you finish the list you'll have a shiny 100K plaque to hang under those three donkeys. Promise.
Not her entire range - she can go lower, higher, and can growl. Not their longest song - there are two longer best known songs. One is extremely sad - basically a musical suicide. The longest is a story of how the Earth came to be from the Big Bang. They typically play it at the end of the concert. Their new album has a slow song ("Lanternlight") and a great power song ("An Ocean of Strange Islands"). However, they currently aren't touring because the band needed a break - especially Floor Jansen who gave birth to her second daughter, Lucy.
Now you really should react to the original singer and co-founder of the band Tarja Turunen's version live from End of an Era as this song was written for her amazing vocals
Hello Jasmine & Connor [ Double Take ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 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.

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 "

Hey Gabriel. Thx for summoning the army once more.
Hi General
Welcome Gabriel!
Don't expect every Nightwish song to be like this. Every song is different and each one an adventure.
Best female singer in the planet right now ! she can do all the styles of singing in One song ! your trip just started it 🤟😎
Can’t wait to check out more!
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! General Gabriel Bardac entered !
This is called Symphonic Metal !!!
Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy.
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6).
She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉.
Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute.

And the master of this magic is:
Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish)
Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration.

We hope, that there is more coming.

NW Army Canada thanks you for reacting to Nightwish! 🪖General Gabriel 🪖has given you the information needed, I will just add that if you choose to go down their rabbit hole I would be happy to accompany you on your journey! Watching for your next Nightwish reaction.
Greetings from Finland 🤘🤘
Wellcome to the Nightwish world ! Only great songs! Greetings from NW army Nordic division / Sweden
Wacken is a festival in Germany. Many different bands play in front of 82000 fans of different bands. How do you get 82000 fans of different bands under control? Floor Jansen is sent on stage with Nightwish.
In my opinion, Floor Jansen is one of the best singers in the world. Not only in rock. This woman can sing anything and because her fans always said she could sing from a phone book and they would listen, she really did that one day. No joke and it sounded great.
love the picture on the wall, that would put a smile on my face everyday😄
My all-time favorite singer and band. I see this song as an unrequited love. 😄🤘

Nightwish Army New Zealand Trench division reporting in. Welcome Beautiful people to Nightwish Symphonic metal. They are a Finnish band with a British member named Troy Donockley and a Dutch member lead vocalist Floor Jansen. They use tracks recorded from the Philharmonic Orchestra London. And the rests is live. No two songs are fully the same.
@@jasonmarshall7572 all hail from Nightwish Army Bay of Plenty
@annebeecher6544 yeah! Go Bay of Plenty Lovely there!
Nightwish is a finnish symphonic metal band, founded in the 90's by keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, aka Metal Mozart, who also is the main composer, and lyricist of the band. Floor is their third, and current singer. She is dutch, but lives here in Sweden, and is married to the drummer of the swedish metal band Sabaton. If you want to know her a bit better, she has some interesting, fun, and reaction worthy stuff on her TH-cam channel. Emppu is the guitarist, and is lovingly referred to as the hobbit. Marko Hietala, aka metal Gandalf, the bass player, is not with the band anymore, sadly. He is also a very good singer, which you will notice if you continue down this rabbit hole. Behind the kit we had Jukka Nevalainen, I say "had" because he had to step down from his kit due to health reasons, Insomnia, I think. He is working with the band behind the scenes, at least I think he still is. Another member, who isn't on stage for this song, is british multi instrumentalist and singer Troy Donockley.
Speaking of Troy, he is part of a little side project called Auri, together with Tuomas and his wife Johanna. Tuomas also did a soundtrack of sorts to the graphic novel about Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa. The album is called The Life And Times of Scrooge. The Duckburgh universe is popular here in Scandinavia.
By the way, the girl in the crowd you said wanted the camera out of her face, her smile says she is loving every second of that show, and during another song, you can see her blow a kiss to the camera, so I don't think she is minding it all that much 😁
What next? Romanticide at the same show maybe.
Un coucou de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France, avec un peu de retard, très bonne réaction à l'écoute du plus grand groupe du monde pour ma part. Mes amis vous venez de faire connaissance du métal symphonique et de notre reine Floor, mais vous n'avez qu'effleuré le dessus de l'iceberg et vous n'êtes qu'a l'entrée du terrier de lapin. Je vous souhaite de bons floorgasmes et continuez vos réactions nous serons toujours derrière vous pour vous soutenir pour notre groupe...... Encore plus d'écoutes s'il vous plait...... Merci. Continuez sur le festival du Wacken Open Air 2013, vous êtes sur de ne pas vous tromper, les quinze chansons du set sont des classiques pour tous les fans du groupe et sont à écouter absolument. Vous venez d'écouter la 13ème chanson du set ( un incontournable ), ensuite faites le Ever Dream qui commence comme une douce ballade voix piano et sur un signe de Marko ( le bassiste ) continue d'accélérer pour finir comme un train à grande vitesse et en même temps de faire la connaissance de la voix de Marko, ou écoutez une petite histoire, un bon rock avec un refrain qui reste longtemps en tête avec Storytime ou alors du plus lourd avec Ghost River pour entendre le mélange magnifique des voix de Floor avec Marko ( merveilleuse harmonie ) ou encore plus lourd avec Romanticide ..... Et je pense que notre ami Gabriel Bardac devait arriver sous peu, ou être déjà passé ( Un grand MERCI à Gabriel d'avoir repris le flambeau de notre regrettée Anne ) , allez sur son mur, cliquez son nom et allez sur communauté, vous pourrez suivre sa liste en toute confiance avec les meilleurs mixages à la bonne vitesse et avec le meilleur audio mais ce n'est pas une obligation, juste un sage conseil pour entendre une petite partie du meilleur du groupe. Continuez les filets du groupe sont tendus et il vous sera très difficile de vous en sortir, plus de NIGHTWISH s'il vous plait et bienvenu à vous...... Bonne écoute et à bientôt, et un nouvel abonné ici.......Paix et amour sur vous mes amis, ............
PS: Vous pouvez aussi faire un excellent choix pour : le fantôme de l'opéra et, si vous le voulez, essayez les deux versions du groupe à 17 ans d'écart, merci d'avance.
Welcome to Nightwish
Thanks!
Just found the channel and the frequency you guys post is MAD, keep up the work greatness will come to you guys for sure. Much love from Brasil
I'm so happy for you to have discovered this band - so much joy awaits. Unarguably one of the best bands ever, and not just in metal, but of all music genres...and Floor Jansen the singer is unequaled for her combination of vocal ability, innate musical understanding, story telling, and stage presence. Nightwish are one of those bands that change your life for the better.
124 Spider here. Nightwish Army Soldier present for duty. Hello from Portugal. Our General GABRIEL BARDAC will guide you on this incredible journey of discovery.
to name a few songs i think you will love are 7 days to the wolves / greatest show on earth/ ever dream / story time/ week fantercy /evlen jig elven path and many more all live of course your in for 1 hell of a treat❤❤❤❤
It's a very rewarding journey❤❤❤
You just watched the "Most Reacted To" video on TH-cam!!
Thanks for the reaction!!
Oh wow 😆 I can see why
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she
got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power
of her vocals.
We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard.
ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!
The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready!
Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Nightwish Army South Germany reporting on duty.
Follow our General Gabriel.....he will lead you the first steps into the rabbit hole......
Rock On.......
In Romanticide from the same concert, you can see “what that is”. It’s the facade to hide Tuomas’ wine bottle holder!
Hi Guys, greetings from UK
Thanks for reacting to my favourite band
"Fucking Hell" and "Wow Wow Wow" are some of the usual expletives when people first hear Nightwish 🤣🤣🤣
I enjoyed your reaction, and I hope to hear more in the future
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
The Nightwish Army and The Warning Army are truly the Best . SO Calif reporting 🇺🇲
You need to check beste zangers. Floor jansen singing shallow. It's a cover of a lady gaga song. It's shows a different side of floor and is incredible ❤
Floor is there 3rd singer and by far there best this is floors first big outing with them it took me 5 years to fall instantly in love with a band as fast as i did with obviously I'm talking about the warning instant love for them
I really love it when double reactors (pfffeew boom!) have a lot of chemestry! I loved your reaction and think you wnat to hear Floor growl in the next one! Do 'Your's an empty hope' live next please?
Awesome! Been wondering when you guys would finally get into this! They're great! 👊🏻 #NikARMY
Welcome to Nightwish ❤❤❤
UK Army popping in for a great first reaction.
Finland signing in! The country of origin of Nightwish.
I didn't realize you haven't heard them yet!
Yesssssssssssss
Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. A journey worth taking.
Welcome to the show. Floor Jansen, the Dutch queen of symphonic metal.
Greetings Jasmine & Connor, Nightwish Army, Indonesia reporting. So glad you've finally found Nightwish..... we can't have you suffering for ever and a nice reaction too. I see our leader Gabriel has made contact so if you decide to go down this amazing rabbithole you'll be in safe hands.
You mentioned that Floor's singing sounded like opera. She has classical and operatic training, as well as a gritty rock/metal technique, even harsh growls. I've never heard another singer with such a wide variety of techniques that are flawlessly mixed, even in a single song.
Welcome to the Nightwish rabbithole!
That’s incredible!! She is so talented 🔥
O boy you are jumping down a rabbit hole with floor and nightwish a finish symphonic metal band even though been around for 20+ years i only found them around 5;years ago and this is like yours my first introduction to them
Hi Double Takes Reacts, i loved to see your reaction video of Nightwish. For me they are the best band in the world 😍 I also have another recommendation for you. If you like surprises and prog music, then try this masterpiece of our Dutch genius Arjen Anthony Lucassen with 11 awesome singers (I won't spoil who they are, but i think you will recognize some of them 😉): Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down. Here is the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/w-d-xo.html
You will be blown away by all the talented musicians and singers! You won't be dissappointed....I PROMISE! Hope to see your reaction to this masterpiece soon and for now....Greetings, stay safe and lots of love from The Netherlands, Martin.
I absolutely concur!
FLOOR COMMANDING THE ARMY,SUCH A BADASS,GREAT REACTION GUYS,PLS DO EVERDREAM

Nightwish army Denmark reporting in
You've summoned the Kraken now... Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. The army is recruiting more members.
Pirates of the Caribbean vibe is absolutely right. The song was written in 2003, when the first part was in cinemas.
I know an opera singer who makes reaction videos on TH-cam and says that when he closes his eyes he hears an opera singer. Floor rejects this for herself. She was only interested in training her head voice and therefore studied the basics of classical music. Thank you for not comparing her to Amy Lee / Evanescence, as many do.
Floor's vocal range is not that extraordinary. The average person has 2 octaves with training, Floor has 3.5 (which you should have as a professional singer) and there are 8 useful octaves of the human voice. What makes Floor special is that she is a vocal nerd and is constantly testing the limits of her voice. What you admires is about 30 years of daily training. The flexibility of her voice makes her the best of the three Nightwish singers for many.
Mastermind and keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen says little to nothing about the content of his songs. He wants people to find their own way of approaching the songs. In my opinion, he is ending his friendship with the first singer, Tarja Turunen. In 2001, Tarja announced to the band that she was leaving the band because she would be finishing her classical studies in Germany in 2002/03. The band was able to persuade her to continue working with the band after that, but under Tarja's conditions. The song was written in 2003, when the friendship had turned into a business relationship. In 2005, the band fired her and accused her of turning into a diva.
Tuomas writes almost all the songs. The other band members and orchestrator are there to remind him that singers have to breathe, not everyone can use 10 fingers and that there is a better way to implement his ideas.
Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division saying welcome to Symphonic Metal with Nightwish and the Valkryre Queen Floor Jansen . New subscriber now . If I may suggest there song "Storytime" from the same show Wacken 2013 show in front of 82 k People and they were the headliner - th-cam.com/video/Lxox2BiLap8/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUfbmlnaHR3aXNoIHN0b3J5dGltZSB3aXRoIGx5cmljcw%3
Aaannnnndddd... The Valkyrie Goddess claims herself another pair of souls.
Welcome to the rabbit hole!
Let us know when it's Storytime!
One opera trained reactor has stated that the first parts of the song are actually classical, more than opera, singing.
Compouser, lyricist and arranger, keyboard player, Maestro Tuomas Holopainen metal Mozart
I highly suggest to listen to Floors band ReVamp. with straight forward metalriffs: Disdain live at Graspop 2010. th-cam.com/video/iNSf64M9uA0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pDFIwHKCj8CdJVdG
@@youaremysecretstream I concur. More kick ass Floor.
Or maybe While love died by her rock project Northward. It's got Foofighter vibes!!!
A lot of THWA fans came from the NWA - I’m one of them. I want to someday see Pau meet Floor!! Look up, look wwaaayyy up!!
jansen=killer , tnks from brazil my channel
Epica - consign to oblivion
Thnx 4 this. Go on with the stuff. Welcome to the Nightwish army^^.
Please listen to song of myself at Wacken.
And, i am sure this will leave you speachless, the Gratest show on earth at Tampere.
Due to Marco's voice , the wiking bassman, give "The Islander" also at Tampere a try.
And frist of all, Ghost love score at Wacken.
Floor Jansen will take over^^
I foresee if you follow Gabriel_Bardac's list, one song a week, by the time you finish the list you'll have a shiny 100K plaque to hang under those three donkeys.
Promise.
oh she can REALY growl. here with her former band th-cam.com/video/iNSf64M9uA0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Nbvp41gcbsEaMgcB
👍👍🇳🇱🤘🤘🎤🎸👏👏
You're gonna be visited by the army. Rabbit hole is open
incredibly difficult to perform -- props to the band, orchestra, choir and, of course, Floor.
You have no idea of what you are getting into. Follow Gabriel's list, you won't regret it!!!!!!
Not her entire range - she can go lower, higher, and can growl. Not their longest song - there are two longer best known songs. One is extremely sad - basically a musical suicide. The longest is a story of how the Earth came to be from the Big Bang. They typically play it at the end of the concert. Their new album has a slow song ("Lanternlight") and a great power song ("An Ocean of Strange Islands"). However, they currently aren't touring because the band needed a break - especially Floor Jansen who gave birth to her second daughter, Lucy.
Hi Jasmine, did you enjoy what we call a floorgasm?
Hey can you guys do Three Doors down sing called Kryptonite (react to the official music video, if possible.
THAT would be awesome! 👊🏻
That’s not her range wait till you hear her growl
Who the better end of the deal? You cause you got a coffee or you cause you had your first Floorgasm?
Im not sure its humanly possible to not like Nightwish. :)
PS - love the donkey pic in the background.
Now you really should react to the original singer and co-founder of the band Tarja Turunen's version live from End of an Era as this song was written for her amazing vocals
