    Hello Bliss Music Academy ! 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 Buenos Aires in December 2012, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an wild Argentinian audience.
    At that time Floor had been in Nightwish for only 2 and a half months, joining the band as an emergency replacement in the middle of a world tour, when the previous singer could no longer perform for health reasons.
    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 (I notice that the links are blocked here, so you will have to look for them yourself, if you are interested)

    GLS is a great song, but the version from their set at Wacken 2013 was on another level. In fact the whole of Nightwish's performance at Wacken 2013 has gone down in history as one of the greatest live performances - of any genre - of all time. This is a journey that will swallow you whole - and you will love it!

    Nightwish is a band like no other. in this video, Tuomas Holopainen on keys is the maestro, a hugely gifted composer who has created so many masterpieces and Ghost Love Score is at the pinnacle. Jukka on drums was always full of energy and a real showman. Guitarist Emppu is like the glue of the band, so funny on stage and really gifted guitarist that always serves the song first - always great tone. Marko on bass was a powerhouse and one of my all-time favourite musicians. And Floor, she has a voice that could heal the most broken soul.. a once in a lifetime voice that always hits the deepest part of me. They are a gift to the universe.

Wacken's version is more spectacular, but this version has a beautiful magic, very intimate . And that ending with everyone singing the debut singer's name means a lot of what came next! a love that is hard to end... I was there, the song wasn't over and we were all already chanting his name... I think every Nightwish fan has a lot of respect for this song, even before Floor joined, and Watching Floor do it to the best of way posible was a godsend.

    Hello Bliss.
    I have some info on Floor Jansen for you here.
    She is married to Hannes Van Dahl, drummer of the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. Together they have 2 daughters (Freja & Lucy)
    Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 3 octaves (C3 to F6). Re-singing style ranges from opera to screams and grunts. She usually sings in English, in addition she has also sung songs in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish.
    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 with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she cool 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 as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.

    Loved your reaction and analysis. Floor has been the front-woman for metal bands for 27 years now, having joined her first band, After Forever, in 1997 at the age of 16. She is a self-proclaimed vocal nerd and has honed her natural talent meticulously over the course of her career. She has always had a powerful voice, but as she has matured as a vocalist the vocal styles and nuances that she uses to tell the story of each song have become more and more interesting, at least to me. She can sing anything from death growls to arias, and do it extremely well, but it is her emotional connection with the music, her bandmates, and with the fans that make her truly special. She is also one of the most humble and down to earth people you will ever meet. A beautiful person all around.

I recommend that you read all of Gabriel Bardac's comment and follow the link he provides at the end. That will take you to his community page where he provides links to many more Nightwish live performances. Nightwish is even better live than on their impressive studio productions, mainly due to the way Floor commands the stage and the audience. Keep these Nightwish reactions coming.

    @Bliss Music Academy: Honestly, I cannot wait to see you react to the Wacken 2013 performance of Ghost Love Score! Because if you can believe it, this is actually only the second time I'm aware of that Floor sings Ghost Love Score, and as a result, this performance sounds rougher than the Wacken 2013 performance. Floor, at the Wacken performance, sounds much more sure of herself, especially in the latter half of the song, as some notes sound off-key or not supported enough in this video from Buenos Aires in 2012. By Wacken 2013, Floor had sung Ghost Love Score many times, and made vocal improvements each time, resulting in Ghost Love Score at Wacken 2013 being the most reacted-to video on the internet.
    That being said, I highly encourage you to check out Floor singing Phantom of the Opera as well, both the Beste Zangers episode in 2019 (that video broke the internet in only 24 hours; "Beste Zangers" is Dutch for "Best Singers"), as well as the Nightwish performance of Phantom of the Opera in 2022, during their tour show at the Ziggodome in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

    Believe it or not, this is the rougher version of GLS official live. This is due to Floor having only been with the band for 10 weeks after flying from her sister's wedding in Netherlands to meet up with the band in the U.S. when the previous singer took sick mid-tour. This is all documented in the video: "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours". Greetings from Michigan and welcome to the rabbit hole.

    @Mischnikvideos 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    This is Nightwish's first video with Floor. She has only been with the band for a few weeks after they spontaneously separated from their second singer Anette Olzon during the ongoing tour. That's why here, like in Wacken, she's just a temporary helper. She had to fly from the Netherlands to the USA within 48 hours and memorize a set list that took 1.5 hours. The lyrics are all over the stage in case she forgets something. The audience's reaction shows how important this change was. She continued to fine-tune the details until Wacken.
    At the end of the following year she became an official member with the publication of the Wacken concert. The ending of the song no longer corresponds to the original and was changed by her. In general, she has adapted the singing to her abilities and interprets it differently than her predecessors.
    During the pandemic, Floor took a small singing course:
    Don't Stress Your Jaw - Vocal MasterClass #1
    Aside from Gabriel's list, I recommend this song. Floor spontaneously said she couldn't sing it:

    Btw... you should check out the Wacken 2013 version, (that whole concert actually 😘); because she was still fairly "new member/singer" in this version, so still a bit "nervous".

    Hello, Diane Nightwish Army US Division here. I`ve been obsessed with Nightwish for over 15 years. Check out their concert at Hellfest in 2022 also for their new material from Human Nature. Floor is a powerhouse in every thing she sings.

    Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! 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. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
    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.
    We hope, that there is more coming.
    NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.

    To see the progression of Floor's take on the song, have a quiet look at any of the songs from Waken 2013, Ghost River, Storytime, Romanticide, and even GLS.... as Floor becomes more comfortable with her place in the band - you can see the adaptions she makes. Phenomenal progress with songs she is interpreting from previous vocalists. Man she has pipes!

    Some people/fan's will tell you ,that the "Wacken 2013"is "better" but,Floor started +/- 2months before this as a replacement singer,so if you imagen that,plus the fact that she changed some things in this song,it's just exceptionel how she pulled this off. Wacken 2013 is also exceptionel in the sence that that whole concert was perfection but this performance was her,showing us what we could expect in the future of Nightwish with floor.🤘

    Be happy you saw this version first. There is a rawness in this version that cannot be equaled or duplicated. The Wacken version is much more polished and clean. You'll enjoy and appreciate both now that you've seen this one first.

    I think this is the concert where floor was sick and she had a sore throat. She is still executing her singing very well, but compared to many other performances, specially the beginning of the song is more rough than usual. You will be amazed How she is a master of tones and using her voice. She is a story teller, and choosing her style of singing by the song and emotions she want to deliver. Many people has been witness how her singing is touching your heart 🙂

    Oh no, hope you don't get roasted again for picking the "wrong version" :-D
    For me (having also started with this one), hearing the recording from Wacken didn't feel like a game changer, as many others might suggest. This one - to me - even has some better parts, like the "raspy part" or the "final note". Here it fades off at the end whereas at Wacken it just stops (only prolonged by the reverb of the mic) as if it's the end of her breath. But these are just some subjective comments. I like hearing both versions again and again and again ...

    Gotta love South American tradition of singing the guitar solos! OH and having your name chanted by the fans?!! Yeah that is an ego stroke! Last comment is that you as a coach made my day by sounding better than you look! Your blended accents were music to my ears. I guess some of that comes from 32 years in a university food service in USA just got me hooked on accents.

  • @franshinlopen2166
    @franshinlopen2166 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Oh, great, the early Buenos Aires version! There are two earlier amateur recordings of this on YT, one in the USA and one in Costa Rica IIRC. As has been mentioned by others, Floor had only been with the band a couple of months as a temporary replacement. Despite this, she got the band to change the ending and she also changed a couple of words in the lyrics. Mistakes? On purpose? Who knows!
    In other news, the people who told you that Floor has a classical background are misinforming you. She was formally trained at the Rockacademie Tilburg (sorry, that's how we spell it in Dutch) which is of course not classical at all. However, she is on record as saying she did not get much from the vocal lessons there. But she was so impressed by a guest lecturer Edward Hoepelman that she took private lessons from him. Although he is himself classically trained, his only goal is to develop your voice in a natural way. After graduation she took additional short courses in classical singing and musical theatre. But this all does not support Floor having a classical background.

    2:28 metal symphonic, good reaction, "Floor" is one of the metal queens with the most variety of vocal songs, I think there is no type of genre that she cannot sing.
    On this side of the Pond (metal), there are many talented artists, and there are many women, You'd be surprised to see floor sing the band before Nightiwsh, in fact here floor was very very new to the band Nightiwsh and was barely adapting, and how incredible she did

  • @clivematthews5296
    @clivematthews5296 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    When Floor joined the band mid tour ten weeks earlier than this they were no longer performing this as written for first operatic singer, Tarja Turunen, who didn't use the variety of vocal styles and the second singer, Anette Olson was a pop singer who couldn't sing it properly at all. Floor asked to reintroduce it and added the ending . That's why the crowd chant "Floor" at the end. Wacken 2013 is considered to be one of the first great Nightwish concerts with Floor performing 14 songs to such a superb level although none written for her. There are also several solo covers by Floor to be found that are worth investigating. From O Mio Babbino Caro, Vilja Lied, Lady Gaga's Shallow, Euphoria, Into the Unknown etc.

  • @ronaldderooij1774
    @ronaldderooij1774 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This was the first time Floor introduced her famous ending to this song. But overall, she was with the band as a stand in, for only a few months. Wacken 2013 is a bit better, also in sound and imaging. By that time she knew she had the job of frontwoman of Nightwish.

    Welcome to the Nightwish Army Private Bliss. You may not have yet realised, but you have just signed up to many years of discovering and enjoying the best written, the best arranged, the best performed and the best sung music. You will experience more emotions than you thought possible from music: you will cry, and then want more so that you can cry again; you will smile, and then want more so that you can smile again; you will listen in disbelief, and then want more so that you can listen again;. Each new song you listen to will become your favourite, until you revisit them again when you will agree that the one you are currently listening to now is your favourite. Then Captain Bliss you will sign up for another tour of duty because you cannot imagine a world without the music of Nightwish - Past, Present and Future - in it I know this to be true, because I was once you.
