You could actually see in Chases eyes every time he wanted to pause, but couldn't :( This must have been frustrating for him, apart for being a marvelous collaboration
@@Elviolli I think that (to first stop point) we may have a five pause and one back to the begining 😉 Chase don't look a very comfortably in this reaction but he do a good work (like always)
As a drummer for 30 years, I completely agree with how horrible it is when a drummer can’t keep time. I tell my students that “all the thrills and chills are fine. However if you can’t keep steady time it all means nothing.” And Kai is a machine!
Speaking of drummers that are machines, This is Pau drummer of The Warning - they call her the shredder because things have a tendency of breaking around her. I couldn't choose which of these demonstrates it the best. th-cam.com/video/6E5rQw6JtgI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/-VUCzqDyOdI/w-d-xo.html and one for the timing th-cam.com/video/6YU42y8H_d8/w-d-xo.html

This was a fantastic collaboration, loved it. Both of you were right on, and Chase even managed his withdrawls with the lack of pauses lol Just awesome. As a former piano player and vocalist this was fantastic to get both sides of it today. Can't get any better then Julia and Chase!! Next we need a reaction with Julia, Chase AND Tank!!
This was THE BEST analytical breakdown of a song ever!!! Love you two gingers together!!! I really hope it’s not the only collaboration we see from you guys! Keep up the great work!!! 🖤🤘
Now all that's needed is that Floor drops in to have a chat with both of them. And Weak fantasy was right in the middle, song 9 out of 17 between élan and storytime.
So instead of 50 pauses, we get 1 50 minute pause? Just joking, it's great to see something new and this song is really unknown and underrated imo so nice to see you both react and talk about it.
I won’t name names but I’ve seen other attempts at what you just did which didn’t work. The sum was less than the parts and they hadn’t figured out how to coordinate their comments. You nailed it.
Nightwish brings me to Julia. Julia sends me down the Band-Maid rabbit hole where I find Chase. Chase and Julia get together to bring me more Nightwish. Tank joins in the comments. Damn I love TH-cam.
Hey thanks so much Julia and Chase for doing this - I emailed Julia a month or two ago about the possibility of a collab with Chase and I'd love to think that it was because of me that this happened, but honestly I don't care! Just so awesome that I love it either way
Just imagine my surprise when I saw Chase's face in the corner before I started watching. My two favorite Nightwish reaction people. Great reaction guys. It was great to hear both the musical and vocal sides of a reaction in one video.
Now THAT'S what I want from a reaction collaboration. That was loads of fun - a bit like listening to Test Match Special during a rain break: people chatting amiably on a subject they're passionate about. Informative and somehow comforting. Thanks, both, I look forward to the next one.
Funny, I also expected this and It was not a battle at all! From the beginning it was established Julia was in control of the pause button 🤣🤣🤣 So funny looking at Chase when you know he wants to pause!!! ⏸ Our poor pause master!!! 🤣
I’d like to provide the obligatory recommendation to listen to Marko singing “The Islander” from this same show, since you’d like to hear him sing solo, and sing differently as well.
I guess you're not gonna read this - it's an old video after all - but right now I'm binge-watching your reaction videos like there is no tomorrow - again (it is actually tomorrow already) - can't get enough :-)
That was the quickest 37 mins I can remember! Just awesome breakdown of an amazing song from an unbelievable band. Absolutely loved the collab. Thanks a ton!
Oh this was soo good, I think better than I expected. It's great how the 2 of you both have fantastic inputs without treading on each others toes. The mutual respect is evident. Not sure how much time and effort goes into putting these together but its all worth it! 🙌👌❤
Don't worry about you're new to nightwhish, doesn't matter if you have listened their songs before. You should listen a nightwish song 100 times and still getting some new.
You probably won’t even read this, seeing as I’m late to the party, but I just have to make a comment this :) Julia, remember how you made a comment about actually feeling a bit uneasy or creeped out, when Floor was singing about telling the child a story?! You kinda apologized for it, because (I’m guessing) you thought that it was weird to feel that way, when Floor was singing about singing to a little child? Well, that just shows how good Nightwish is at writing and performing their music - because they made you feel the way you were intended to, without even catching the deeper meaning of the lyrics. You see, the song is actually about the bad aspects of organized religion; how it’s used to control people both economically and spiritually, how it’s used to justify hate and war - and how each generation indoctrinates the next right from birth (very simplified summary). So in the lines; “wake up child, I have a story to tell - once upon a time”, Floor is actually a mother telling her child the stories from her religious text (Bible, Koran, Torah, etc), hence indoctrinating him/her into her religion. It’s a softer iteration of the lyrics that come just before, where they sing about “mothers milk filled with poison for this newborn”. Sorry for the long comment - I just thought it was a really cool example of, how good composers and musicians can make us feel specific emotions, even without lyrics :)
You could actually see in Chases eyes every time he wanted to pause, but couldn't :( This must have been frustrating for him, apart for being a marvelous collaboration
oh thanks for this! i hadn't looked into these lyrics yet! it also puts in evidence how good Floor is at expressing emotions through her voice.. i always thought this song exhaled scorn and disdain and now i know why ^-^
Isäni ääni is a great song by Marco (You've gotta listen to the Finnish version though) Also 'The Islander' is a more laid back Nightwish song that features Marco a lot more
I will take the dare to make the following short playlist of songs that, me as a crazy fan of Nightwish i higly recommend, you should listen, react and analyze: Yours Is An Empty Hope Panthom of the Opera (with Tarja) The Islander Thank you for all your effort and dedication to
I'll echo Chase's suggestion to check out some Wintersun. Not just for the brilliant music, but the vocalist does a pretty damn fine job too. Loneliness (Winter) would be a great starting point, although their live rehearsal sessions are also fantastic.
Gosh, imagine checking your phone at 11 on a Friday, to find your two favourite youtube humans doing a reaction together at exactly that moment. Too good! Love the conversations and the detail you both get into, having someone to bounce thoughts and questions off of suits ya both :)
Now we need Julia's reaction to the band Chase most loved discovering, Unleash the Archers. Awakening for a start, of course. th-cam.com/video/gqUPGa15Oto/w-d-xo.html Wintersun, Sons of Winter and Stars. A masterpiece that would be great for a extereme vocals specialist to look at... th-cam.com/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/w-d-xo.html Marco solo Insaenii Aeaenii. th-cam.com/video/Kp_kNvPQlq8/w-d-xo.html High Hopes. th-cam.com/video/4oEDnVeYYyM/w-d-xo.html
Weak Fantasy is one of my absolute favourites. The "wake up child, I have a story..." section is just SOO well done. and I love the emotion expression of Floor thorughout the whole piece. It's also, as they say "a banger".
When i first heard of this idea i though this could work . Now that I've seen the chemistry between you guys , that was ( Julia word ) EPIC . So well done the way you apricate one another's view on the same song and I am looking forward to your next collaboration , please don't make us wait to long for it . Thank you both again .
I just want to say I love the collaboration of analysis - The composition breakdown with the vocal analysis together is phenomenal. Please keep doing these!
Really excited, that is a cool thing to explore, makes you both stand out as reactors. If there can be info, synergy and humor than you are bound to make many people happy! See also The Charismatic voice doing collab in Ayreon - The day when the world breaks down reaction!
Oh this is a nice idea. Julia focuses analysing singing technique, and Chase analyses melody and instruments. The only thing missing is the lyrics analysis, what the song is all about, what the story and the meaning is. Well done both of you!
Great reaction! I only have notifications turned for three reaction channels turned on and you guys are two of them. I'm starting to look at Nightwish as having two lead singers, with one singing the bulk of the vocals. It's subtle, but in many songs, Floor drops back behind Marko, and then powers into the lead at the right moment. They swap the lead position back and forth. Now for a Nightwish reaction with the two of you only with Captain Pause as the host!
Oh dear! Chase, Tank and Julia, you are now The League of Reacting, or something like that, because definitely, you have become the most amazing combo of reactors on the internet with the most well built comments in technical, intelligent, fun, and well expressed way ever. You're so enjoyable to see and listen. My three favourites. Thank you for an awesome reaction, I'll be waiting for more. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🖤🤘🏻
Great reaction and analysis by two of the best reactors on YT. Love it my friends. Hope you chose to do more as a tandem. It was wonderful and lots of fun and interesting musical and vocal commentary. Hope to see more soon! I am a subscriber to both of you! Peace.
If you want to hear Marko sing more gently, I suggest While your lips are still red. It also happens to be one Chase hasn't done yet, so maybe another collab?
Yes more Nightwish and more Floor!!! React Floor on Beste zangers 2019. Acoustic Nemo and How's the heart with Floor and Troy on Planet Rock. Have a great weekend!
Wow! That was a treat! Brilliant collab with Chase. I hope that this becomes a thing as I've noticed a few other reactors starting to also try cola vids. Awesome stuff. Here's a band for your consideration: The Warning - 3 sisters (the Villarreals) from Monterrey Mexico. They are Daniella "Dany" on guitars and vocals; Paulina "Pau" on drums and vocals; Alejandra "Ale" on the bass. This is one of their songs called "Black Holes" performed live at the Dakota Bar in 2018. Back than they were 17, 15, 13 respectively. For this performance, Pau steps away from her kit to play the keyboards and sing while her sisters provide backing vocals. Nice hormonic layering especially at the end. When listening to the lyrics, this is a heavy song about addiction - and it was written by Pau when she was 13!! Also, despite the heavy nature, Pau is smiling at the beginning because she realized that the audience had started singing with her. Link: th-cam.com/video/lM8KeQ_tNQc/w-d-xo.html. - Wil.
The two of you should do more of these, it's actually really cool to hear both perspectives in the same video, especially how you guys bounce off of each other's comments and explain the same moment from the other perspective.
Thank you, this was very interesting. Both of you have said that Nightwish songs feel shorter than they actually are, that you don't notice time passing. Had the same thing with this reaction, so I think I'm not alone in wishing for more collaborations 🙂
It's finally happening! Amazing news to wake up to, it will be so rewarding to watch this video right after work. What's better than two gingers and Nightwish on the screen at the same time? And my gut tells me that there is a VERY good reason to be excited for Saturday as well :)
I'm seriously hyped for this thing. Weak Fantasy is both intstrumentally and vocally full on nuances, so you two analyzing it, is a match made in heaven. Was it a random pick or did you know before? EDIT: Aaand I'm back after whatching it whole. PLEASE MORE. Maybe Julia could be Chase's guest next time, but please do this one more time. Very enjoyable and informative.
Now you HAVE to do one more together, where Chase gets to be in control of the pause button, right?! There were several times where I thought he was going to just yell “STOP!!!”, because he clearly wanted to pause the video SO badly, lol. Seriously though - I would love to see more collaborations between you two
I am super excited, you were my first two reactors I subscribed to! I already hit thumb up, cannot imagine anything can be unlikable here. You are both super nice, positive and informative. I hope this will become a regular thing!
Thank you! You both are really easy on the ears and eyes. A lot of talking considering the length of the song, in this case that is a very good thing. You complete perfectly each other - both observing the piece from different perspective. Marco and Floor have in deed great chemistry, almost as great as you two! As someone else already commented Chase was banging many times the imaginary pause-button a lot. Hard. It is nice to see that both of you are mortals as well and not some all knowing beings from another dimension. We all have things to learn, I suppose? Keep on reacting and have a damn good Day!
As expected, this was awesome. Love to see you two do one of these a week or whatever periodicity works for you both. Two subject matter experts having a conversation about the totality of songs is a rare thing to see. All the best to you both.
Weak Fantasy...bones picked, completely broken down, and thoroughly examined. The two of you together.....perfect reaction! Please, please, please, do more reactions together. :)
I'm seriously late to the party here, but I truly enjoyed watching the dual reaction between you and Chase. Having your amazing explanations of vocal tones and pitch along with Chase's knowledge of the musical style choices and applications is incredible. It's literally a 2 for 1 experience as I get to hear you both discuss your specialties and learn from one another.
Loved the two of you together chatting. Love it. Need a few more pauses to allow Chase not to explode though I think ;) I would love for you to react to their cover of Pink Floyds 'High Hopes' with Marko as lead vocalist. If not their is always 'the islander' and 'Kiss while your lips are still red'.
The thing that sets Floor Jansen apart in my eyes is the breadth of the vocal techniques/toolkit she has mastered. It gives her an incredible dynamic range of emotion that she can express. Her ability to infuse nuanced emotional queues into her vocals is unparalleled. It makes it possible to fully connect with the listener. She is also extremely capable of connecting with the emotional charge of the lyrical content. Those two things coupled together mean that, when you listen to Floor singing a song, you are 100% engaged with it on a subconscious, visceral level.
Coming to the end of the video now, the future's bright, the future's orange... Sorry UK advert reference there... But I stand by the sentiment, this was brilliant. Love the Nightwish appreciation society that's developing on TH-cam with the holy trinity of Chase, Julia and Tank covering a spectrum of expertise 🙏🙏🙏😁
There's another guy who has done a couple of Nightwish songs - Dr Marc Reynolds, stage director, performance coach etc. So he's sort of in Tank's wheelhouse in a small way, but while Tank's intimately familiar with the inner practical workings of putting a show together, the types of pyros, lighting, screens and what have you, plus ALL the intstrument tech, Reynolds has the perspective of looking at what the whole picture does to the audience, which is interesting. He's a vocal teacher too, but I really prefer Julia on that.

Now we need Julia's reaction to the band Chase most loved discovering, Unleash the Archers. Awakening for a start, of course. th-cam.com/video/gqUPGa15Oto/w-d-xo.html
Wintersun, Sons of Winter and Stars. A masterpiece that would be great for a extereme vocals specialist to look at... th-cam.com/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/w-d-xo.html
Marco solo Insaenii Aeaenii. th-cam.com/video/Kp_kNvPQlq8/w-d-xo.html
High Hopes. th-cam.com/video/4oEDnVeYYyM/w-d-xo.html
Awww ... that's so cute.
I knew we're probably a lot of things here at the Nightwish army but I didn't think we were matchmakers! 😁❤😊
Weak Fantasy is one of my absolute favourites. The "wake up child, I have a story..." section is just SOO well done. and I love the emotion expression of Floor thorughout the whole piece. It's also, as they say "a banger".
When i first heard of this idea i though this could work . Now that I've seen the chemistry between you guys , that was ( Julia word ) EPIC . So well done the way you apricate one another's view on the same song and I am looking forward to your next collaboration , please don't make us wait to long for it . Thank you both again .
I just want to say I love the collaboration of analysis - The composition breakdown with the vocal analysis together is phenomenal. Please keep doing these!
Really excited, that is a cool thing to explore, makes you both stand out as reactors. If there can be info, synergy and humor than you are bound to make many people happy!

Omg, the best collab reaction ever, and one of the best Nightwish songs ever - loved this guys, please do more of these, you're both amazing 😊
Chase is a great reactor as are you Julia. You need to do more of these for sure. Chase is trying really hard to refrain from just rocking out 😂😂
Oh this is a nice idea. Julia focuses analysing singing technique, and Chase analyses melody and instruments. The only thing missing is the lyrics analysis, what the song is all about, what the story and the meaning is. Well done both of you!
Great reaction! I only have notifications turned for three reaction channels turned on and you guys are two of them.
I'm starting to look at Nightwish as having two lead singers, with one singing the bulk of the vocals. It's subtle, but in many songs, Floor drops back behind Marko, and then powers into the lead at the right moment. They swap the lead position back and forth.
Now for a Nightwish reaction with the two of you only with Captain Pause as the host!
You both Julia and Chase are my favorite reactors. And now you did one together. I really appreciated this one, thank you!
Oh dear! Chase, Tank and Julia, you are now The League of Reacting, or something like that, because definitely, you have become the most amazing combo of reactors on the internet with the most well built comments in technical, intelligent, fun, and well expressed way ever. You're so enjoyable to see and listen. My three favourites. Thank you for an awesome reaction, I'll be waiting for more. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🖤🤘🏻
Great reaction and analysis by two of the best reactors on YT. Love it my friends. Hope you chose to do more as a tandem. It was wonderful and lots of fun and interesting musical and vocal commentary. Hope to see more soon! I am a subscriber to both of you! Peace.
If you want to hear Marko sing more gently, I suggest While your lips are still red. It also happens to be one Chase hasn't done yet, so maybe another collab?
^ This! Some lovely guitar work from Troy in that one for Chase to analyse too.
They have done exactly this, in case you missed it. It's on Chase's channel (with more pauses :D)
re-listened... even two years later, this is still one of my favorite collab reactions.
Thank you for everything you have both added to my life.
Yes more Nightwish and more Floor!!! React Floor on Beste zangers 2019. Acoustic Nemo and How's the heart with Floor and Troy on Planet Rock. Have a great weekend!
Both of you - please keep doing these joint reactions. So well done. You both increase my appreciation of already wonderful music.
i can just feel chase wanting to hit that pause button in the first 30 seconds of the song
Wow! That was a treat! Brilliant collab with Chase. I hope that this becomes a thing as I've noticed a few other reactors starting to also try cola vids. Awesome stuff.
Here's a band for your consideration: The Warning - 3 sisters (the Villarreals) from Monterrey Mexico. They are Daniella "Dany" on guitars and vocals; Paulina "Pau" on drums and vocals; Alejandra "Ale" on the bass. This is one of their songs called "Black Holes" performed live at the Dakota Bar in 2018. Back than they were 17, 15, 13 respectively. For this performance, Pau steps away from her kit to play the keyboards and sing while her sisters provide backing vocals. Nice hormonic layering especially at the end. When listening to the lyrics, this is a heavy song about addiction - and it was written by Pau when she was 13!! Also, despite the heavy nature, Pau is smiling at the beginning because she realized that the audience had started singing with her. Link: th-cam.com/video/lM8KeQ_tNQc/w-d-xo.html. - Wil.
This is the perfect mix of accents!
Could you turn this into a series? “The Gingers react” 😂
Wow, thanks ! You both just Made my weekend with this collab, About my fave band nonetheless 😃👂👌
Chase would have already paused 500 times during the intro alone hahah (no disrespect I like his pauses)
The two of you should do more of these, it's actually really cool to hear both perspectives in the same video, especially how you guys bounce off of each other's comments and explain the same moment from the other perspective.
Thank you, this was very interesting. Both of you have said that Nightwish songs feel shorter than they actually are, that you don't notice time passing. Had the same thing with this reaction, so I think I'm not alone in wishing for more collaborations 🙂
Each of you individually are a luminary of analysis. Together you become a nova, brilliant and compelling. More!!!
It's finally happening! Amazing news to wake up to, it will be so rewarding to watch this video right after work. What's better than two gingers and Nightwish on the screen at the same time? And my gut tells me that there is a VERY good reason to be excited for Saturday as well :)
What's better than 2 gingers? 2 gingers reacting to Jinjer. But as they've both done it, my joke falls short :(
Very insightful! Looks like you had a lot of fun on this one, big fan of both of you.
I'm seriously hyped for this thing. Weak Fantasy is both intstrumentally and vocally full on nuances, so you two analyzing it, is a match made in heaven. Was it a random pick or did you know before?
EDIT: Aaand I'm back after whatching it whole. PLEASE MORE. Maybe Julia could be Chase's guest next time, but please do this one more time. Very enjoyable and informative.
This was so fun to watch! Great collab! You guys should do this more often, loved it!
Now you HAVE to do one more together, where Chase gets to be in control of the pause button, right?! There were several times where I thought he was going to just yell “STOP!!!”, because he clearly wanted to pause the video SO badly, lol.
Seriously though - I would love to see more collaborations between you two
I am super excited, you were my first two reactors I subscribed to! I already hit thumb up, cannot imagine anything can be unlikable here. You are both super nice, positive and informative. I hope this will become a regular thing!
Well, this should be interesting , also I cannot decide whose accent I love more, but probably Chase 🥰
I can choose, definitely Julia.
Julia 💘
Thank you! You both are really easy on the ears and eyes. A lot of talking considering the length of the song, in this case that is a very good thing. You complete perfectly each other - both observing the piece from different perspective. Marco and Floor have in deed great chemistry, almost as great as you two! As someone else already commented Chase was banging many times the imaginary pause-button a lot. Hard.
It is nice to see that both of you are mortals as well and not some all knowing beings from another dimension. We all have things to learn, I suppose?
Keep on reacting and have a damn good Day!
You're both top shelf so very much looking forward to it!
As expected, this was awesome. Love to see you two do one of these a week or whatever periodicity works for you both. Two subject matter experts having a conversation about the totality of songs is a rare thing to see. All the best to you both.
Weak Fantasy...bones picked, completely broken down, and thoroughly examined. The two of you together.....perfect reaction! Please, please, please, do more reactions together. :)
yay! Finally 💪🤘 Endless Pauses most beautiful
Lol
I'm seriously late to the party here, but I truly enjoyed watching the dual reaction between you and Chase. Having your amazing explanations of vocal tones and pitch along with Chase's knowledge of the musical style choices and applications is incredible. It's literally a 2 for 1 experience as I get to hear you both discuss your specialties and learn from one another.
Loved the two of you together chatting. Love it. Need a few more pauses to allow Chase not to explode though I think ;)
I would love for you to react to their cover of Pink Floyds 'High Hopes' with Marko as lead vocalist. If not their is always 'the islander' and 'Kiss while your lips are still red'.
The thing that sets Floor Jansen apart in my eyes is the breadth of the vocal techniques/toolkit she has mastered. It gives her an incredible dynamic range of emotion that she can express. Her ability to infuse nuanced emotional queues into her vocals is unparalleled. It makes it possible to fully connect with the listener.
She is also extremely capable of connecting with the emotional charge of the lyrical content.
Those two things coupled together mean that, when you listen to Floor singing a song, you are 100% engaged with it on a subconscious, visceral level.
Now that we had a taste of you two collaborating ... You are aware that we want more right?
We see you!
Chase breaking down composition. Julia breaking down vocals. Hit with both barrels. I love it!
Coming to the end of the video now, the future's bright, the future's orange... Sorry UK advert reference there... But I stand by the sentiment, this was brilliant. Love the Nightwish appreciation society that's developing on TH-cam with the holy trinity of Chase, Julia and Tank covering a spectrum of expertise 🙏🙏🙏😁
There's another guy who has done a couple of Nightwish songs - Dr Marc Reynolds, stage director, performance coach etc. So he's sort of in Tank's wheelhouse in a small way, but while Tank's intimately familiar with the inner practical workings of putting a show together, the types of pyros, lighting, screens and what have you, plus ALL the intstrument tech, Reynolds has the perspective of looking at what the whole picture does to the audience, which is interesting. He's a vocal teacher too, but I really prefer Julia on that.
