@@JacobBurtonStudios hey Jacob,we NW fans appreciate it when vocal pro's react to the best band & singer ! just a reactor tip tho: please go back a bit after a pause before resuming for song continuity your viewers will appreciate it :) cheers
@@JacobBurtonStudios btw this song was just a taste of what you will experience going forward, Beste Zangers 2019: Phantom of The Opera ,Floor Jansen w/Henk Poort,the whole Wacken 2013 is a Gold Standard seminal event,every song better than the originals.
keep in mind the she sings this song almost in the end of the concert , she was singing for more than 1 hour already :) Floor , the best female singer in the planet right now !
@@sleeepwalk Both Floor and Troy were full members of the band at Wacken 2013, but they had to keep it secret. Not that it makes any difference, but that's just how it was/is.
@@The_Pony No, she (and Troy) were announced as members on 9th October 2013, although a hint had been dropped at M'era Luna, the last show of the tour, immediately before the final song - fittingly, "Last Ride Of The Day", when Marcos said "Well, you may carry on for a while". Yes, an agreement had been reached (in the hotel bar after Sauna Open Air at Tampere on June 8th), but contractual requirements of some kind meant it could not be official until later. Floors 2nd (and, it transpired, final) album with her own band, ReVamp, was released between the end of the tour and the announcement, which may have been the obstruction, or maybe Anette's contract stipulated that she was lead vocalist until at least the end of the tour, and only a stand-in was permitted. We may never know.
Tarja could do operatic. Anette could do light rock. Floor can do operatic, classical, baroque, pop, light rock, heavy rock, metal, growl, metal scream, musical theatre. And she can put them together in one song when called upon.
@@proxy6986 no, sorry... the answer we were looking for was Floor... Floor Jansen is the queen of metal, but thank you for playing... we have some lovely parting gifts for you on the way out...
She can also growl! Check out Yours is an empty hope (Wembley), really cool song and she shows some more power Edit: For lower notes: Song of myself (Wacken) For more emotional singing: The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley) For endurance: The greatest show on earth (Tampere, was the last song of the concert, keep that in mind)
@@JacobBurtonStudios I would first listen to a bunch of other songs before you get to the Poet and the Pendulum, because you need some background first. Also getting information about that song is quite important, and playing the version with lyrics displayed. But I´m jumping too far ahead now.
@@JacobBurtonStudios Or you can do the version from Mexico city ( th-cam.com/video/DuwY1d-KIss/w-d-xo.html ) I think the mix in that version shows her growls even better
I was on the side of the stage (left wing) for this performance on a little balcony, so I had a top-down view of the stage and the audience. This is by far one of the best performances I have witnessed in my life. Truly special and highly professional!
#SOOOOOOOOJEALOUS What an amazing thing to have been a part of. Truly jealous - but not in a bad way. Happy that experience is part of your life. Just wish I would've been able to be there as well. Some day, when there are time machines, this concert audience is going to swell exponentially.
WELCOME to the NightWish family! I am a RECENT addition to the NW Army and SO HAPPY to be here and along for the NW and Symphonic Metal ride!!! I discovered them due to a request on a React channel I co host and WOW NW Army support and LOVE and WOW WOW WOW NW!!!!! FLOORGASM!!!! Marko WITH Floor, PURE BLISSSSSSSS!
@@JacobBurtonStudios We're NEW together brother! The welcome my kids and I got was speechless! The love these guys are showing, blows me away! Tool Army found its match with Nightwish Army! lol I'm part of Tool Army too, nearing 30yrs now :)
The big three songs are Ghost Love Score (Wacken), Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley) and The Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere), but you will enjoy them more if you do some other songs first and learn a bit of the bands history. My recommendation for next songs would be Storytime, Last Ride of the Day, Seven Days to the Wolves, Shuffer Before the Beautiful, Yours is an Empty Hope (Wembley version)...
@@JacobBurtonStudios all from her at the dutch TV Show Beste Zangers 2019, all her Coverversions she did on her own Channel, all live Performance at Wacken, Tampere, Buenos Aires, Wembley. One specific Song? No way, they are all great and unique. Maybe one she did also at a dutch TV Show, a Puccini Aria 'Oh mio babbino caro' or as a soecial guest with the dutch Symphonic Metal Band Epica, the Song 'Sancta Terra' live Retrospct Show, Simone Simons is also a great dutch female vocalists. And i'm not a Part of the Nightwish Army, just a Fan of her. Greetings from Germany. ☺
@@JacobBurtonStudios I am pretty sure Gabrial will comment and give you the Bands background and a list of songs for you to react to. Usually, the next recommended song is Romanticide from the same concert. It will show you the heavier side of Nightwish. Welcome to the NW rabbit hole. Enjoy it.
Stay with nightwish for now!! Storytime, ever dream from the same concert! 7 days to the wolves, yours is an empty hope (surprise there)!! Then poet and the pendulum (with research and lyrics) and greatest show on earth... Marco sings too... while your lips are still red, the islander and AC/DC cover high hopes!!
Loved watching your reaction! I discovered Nightwish a few years ago and fell in love. Floor is an amazing vocalist. All the members are incredible musicians.
Mario? Marco! Or Marko! Greetings from a Marco with also long blond Hair (sadly not as long as the Nightwish Marco, but longer than Jacob's) and without a beard and three years younger. 😁😁
@@JacobBurtonStudios Have to point out, that some stack of people, some youtube reactioners included, compared Floor's fersion wist Tarja's from End of an Era, and preferred Tarja's.. Me included (but i'm not an youtuber).
Hopefully more reactions are coming. I'm interested in seeing what you have to say about the band and particularly Floor. When Dutch people talk about really good music, artists and singers coming from our little nation (and there are a LOT), Floor is almost never talked about and it's a shame. I for one am really happy so many international people are discovering her, so please do go down that era of Nightwish more. I'd personally recommend Weak Fantasy (Wembley 2015), 7 Days to the Wolves (Wembley 2015), Dead Boys Poem (Buenos Aires 2018) and My Walden (Tampere). There's a lot to discover, many different vibes, so any other recommendations given, including easing into the discography by reacting to the Wacken concert more are valid, and please don't be overwhelmed, go at your own pace, bu it's worth discovering more.
1:28 and BAHM !! in your face ... 3:08 Floorgasm 1 .... 12:12 in your face number 2. ...... 13:35 floorgasm 2 .... 14:04 floorgasm 3. coming to a standstill .14:12 end !! :) patient dead :)) the North German Division of the Nightwish Army reports !!

She opens her mouth and the voice of an angel emerges. She is like being all singers in one. Is there anything she can't sing? If so I haven't heard it yet. A metal goddess, an opera singer, contemporary, pop, etc., etc

Great Reaction !! Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
@@JacobBurtonStudios This is a neat list. It's always hard to wait for a reaction to "Greatest show on earth" that one is really great with backgrond information to the lyrics because they're very scientific. You should really try to follow this. Greetz
"What did she not show us this song?" That she can do? Deathgrowls (yours is an empty hope) ... A D6 for 8 seconds (Phantom of the Opera, with Henk Poort) ... Spanish (Que Se Siente, beste zangers), Dutch (Mama, beste zangers), German / opera (Vilja Lied, beste zangers), country (About love I don't know a thing, beste zangers), smooth jazz (slow love slow), and many other things.
Also, Let it go (Frozen sound track cover), The evil that man do (Iron Maiden cover, with After Forever), Alone ( Heart / I-ten cover), Adagio ( Lara Fabian cover), etc, etc... just search and you will see her versatility... She is one of a kind, IMHO.
Agreed, this, for all its beautiful showcasing of her abilities, really is just the tip of the iceberg of what she can and does do. DEFINITELY check out all of her performances on Beste Zangers, for just how amazingly full her grit and growls can go check out yours is an empty hope, to hear a jaw dropping duet with another amazingly talented Soprano check out her guest appearance with Epica in Sancta Terra, for an acoustic sampling check out how's the heart, and for an astounding operatic moment there is Shoemaker from nightwish's latest album, human nature.
Because neither she nor Nightwish is promoted in the USA, which is truly sad. I didn't hear about Nightwish until '06, and I only learned about them then from a coworker.
@@RaymondBCrisp I get that. I accidently stumbled onto them on youtube three years ago and luckily by chance they were playing 2 hours from me so got to see them live. But you would think a vocal coach would search out different vocalists.
@@JacobBurtonStudios In my 18 months Nightwish journey with The Wonder Floor Jansen, I've seen at least 20 Vocal Coaches that didn't know about her but now they sure do ,...and were all totaly mesmerized by her insane vocal abilities and versatality, awesome stage presence and crowd control ! They agree that she's not only gifted by her superb physionomy of 6' 1" goddess (super lungs and breath, large mouth,..),.. but she is very "skilled" ! Meaning that it is obvious that she has been very hard working to get where she is now ! Many VC say that they will show Floor to their students ! Also good to know that she has been herself a vocal coach for 15 years and she said in interviews that been a total "vocal nerd" and only realy paying attention on the analysis & comments done by other vocal coaches on her performances on TH-cam! So Jacob, she will probably see yours reactions if you continue your journey ! By the way, recently on her own YT channel, she has posted up to now 3 free vocal masterclasses and 5 new covers to check out! 👍 Cheers from Montreal! 🇨🇦👍🤘
5:45 "This guy" is Emppu, the guitarist. He's also known as "the Hobbit" due to his lack of height (He's 5',3") and you can find him walking from here to there, and back again. BTW Floor is an even 6' without heels. Tarja came from a classical background but could sing rock. Floor came from a rock background and learned to sing classical. Floor studied 4 years at the Dutch rock academy, then another year or two at the conservatory studying classical singing and musical theater. All that while being the lead singer in the band After Forever. This song wasn't on the set list for the tour originally, when Anette was stil the singer. When Floor took over after Anette she told Tuomas that she loved this song and asked him if they could use it on the tour. It was introduced Oct 10th, ten days after Floors first show with Nightwish.
Thank you for this info! Yeah I guess I thought Emppu was going to do a duet with Floor. In the end this song was a PERFECT JAM without it being a duet
@@JacobBurtonStudios Emppu lets his guitar do the singing. 😉 Three singers is enough in a band. Floor, Marko, and Troy, who you haven't met yet. I do hope that whoever replaces Marko have a good voice too.
MY recommendations for your NEXT Nightwish vids are as follows: 1) Song of Myself (Wacken 2013), 2) Storytime (Wacken 2013), 3) Romanticide (Wacken 2913), 4) Shudder Before The Beautiful (Wembley 2015), 5) Ghost River (Wacken 2013) 6) Ever Dream (Wacken 2013), , 7) Yours is an Empty Hope (Wembley 2015). TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE getting to "The Poet and The Pendulum" (Wembley 2015) and "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere 2015).
You need to watch Floor with Henk Poort sing Phantom on the TV show (there is a youtube video). He's Dutch and played the Phantom but he does Nightwish's metal version with Floor. He is one of Floor's idols and she was so excited to get to sing with him. They kill it.
Oh and your JAW DROP, at the end was priceless! You made me smile with that reaction. What didn’t she (Floor) show you? Well.... “Yours is an Empty Hope” live in Mexico City
What didn't she showd us here? Well actually 80% of her abilities. Like seriously. She did exactly as much as the song needed. No more, no less. (This was originally Tarja's song, but Floor made it herself. The ending she just add to this song when she joined them, and now it feels so empty without. She just have feel to it.) We were as surprised as you are when we heard this song with her for the first time, but now 7 years later - this one is actually one of the easiest songs of her repertoar. (well maybe not easiest, just not that extreme in any direction of any style you've just heard) Deep harsh dark growls, high note clean opera, insanely long straight notes, long quick complicated sentences that are even hard to just say, jumping up and down at the scale, you name it. And you look at her and she looks perfectly calm like this is easy, that she still have reserves and can push even far than all of this. (btw in english, dutch, swedish, finnish, german, italiano and spanish)
I'm 67 years old now and since 30 december 2021, when I heard this masterpiece for the very first time, I know and feel what the word "Floorgasm" means.
Haha! This is one of the most epic live performances ever and also the most reacted music video on YT (over 1K i think). And we have seen most of them (😵) and never get tired. This is the Floor's showcase and also her favorite live song. There are plenty of duets with Floor and Marko if and when you'll continue your Nightwish tour. Well done and greetings from Finland! ⛄👍
@@JacobBurtonStudios you can listen to all the songs she sang in the contest « beste zangers 2018 », especially the duet with Hank Port and also all the covers she did and the entiere show at wacken and and and.....
*Disengage Vocal Coach Mode* *Engage Floorgasm* ... ... ... *Finally remembers to re-engage brain* Congratulations on your first Floorgasm, welcome to the Nightwish Army :)
First! I am sure Gabriel gave you the low down on the Phantom reaction, welcome to a great band with 3 different singers over the years. This is Floor, the 3rd (and current) lady. In my opinion there is no finer female singer around currently.
loved the reaction! I know this is an uncommon one to react to as a second floor-song (usually it’s Romanticide, Storytime, ever dream, song of myself, the Islander, ghost river, yours is an empty hope, dead boys poem or something in that order) but, for AMAZING harmonies of Floor and Marko together, please listen to 7 days to the wolves! Also, as many will recommend, for a different side of marko with floor as background singer: while your lips are still red. (Don’t know if you have heard, but marko has taken a time out and has left the band, music industry and media in general, for an unkown amount of time. Let’s enjoy his performances on yt together en wish him all the best)
Or try that song with Patricia Janeckova, a girl who won the Czech version of AGT in 2010 at the age of 12 and is currently becoming one of the best sopranos in the world: th-cam.com/video/d0f37m4FhSk/w-d-xo.html In this video she is only 14 and outperforms Floor with this aria already. Sorry, Floor. ;-)
@@JacobBurtonStudios I'm LOVING him and I notice when he is not focal on a song so far into my NW journey. This band is just so amazing and I am less than a week into them and WON over!
This is one of the big three of Nightwish by Tuomas, keyboardist/songwriter. The other two being "The Poet and the Pendulum" Wembley Arena 2015,14 minutes and "The Greatest Show on Earth" Tampere 2015, 20 minutes. Hope you react to more Nightwish before reacting to those two masterpieces. You need to do some research on those songs before reacting to them, otherwise you're going to miss a lot. I hope your next reaction is to a Nightwish song with Floor and Marko together on vocals. They complement each other amazingly. "Ever Dream" Official Live Wacken 2013, beautiful and powerful. "Ghost River" Marko representing bad, Floor good. "Song of Myself" again Floor and Marko. Romanticide, once again Floor and Marko. All in Wacken 2013, and all three representing the heavier stuff of Nightwish. Wacken concert is epic, but Wembley Arena 2015, Tampere 2015 (outdoors stadium), and Buenos Aires 2018 concerts are great as well. Even though Floor was not 100% ok in BA she did well. For the most part you can not even realize she's not totally ok. Hi again from snowy Helsinki Finland.
@@JacobBurtonStudios Greatest Show on Earth is like, belting E5s and F5s for the entire 20 min song, then you belt the last 4 lines of the chorus in G5s full power... In the end of a 90 min concert...
... and it was live performance (that's about Floors sing quality and voice control). Very good reaction and review. Thumb up and sub for that. Greetings from #NWArmy Poland.
+ Nightwish is a Finnish band with a Dutch singer. She lives in Sweden. They sing in English and the concert is in Germany. Floor has sung songs in English, French, Spanish, Finnish, Swedish, Dutch and German. 🤓🤪
@@JacobBurtonStudios growls, even bigger and higher belts, twists and turns you never saw coming :) Floor is an amazing singer and she fits into Nightwish perfectly. The music that Tuomas writes is just out of this world and Floor matches it with her vocals. I am positive that my brothers and sisters in arms have already suplied you with all the songs you need to hear from Nightwish, but if you have the time i would recommend to look for Floor on 'Beste Zangers' it is a Dutch tv show where different singers sing covers from others on the couch, giving their own spin on it. You can hear her sing pop, rock, metal, soft in Dutch, English, German and Spanish. I would also recommend listening to Epica - Sancta Terra ft. Floor Jansen to hear her sing even more operatic together with Simone Simmons. Another Dutch singer who clearly drank from the waters of Valhalla which cascade onto our little country ;) Loved your reaction and you've made a fan!
Floor is a vocal teacher herself. She's not actively teaching students though because she's a rock star or whatever but she's been putting out some master class videos on her TH-cam channel. Enjoyed the reaction so looking forward to seeing more. There's a lot to dive into
Gday, I have recently come across your channel as a fan of reaction videos. I notice you have done 2 of the 3 most reacted to rock/metal videos in Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (live Waken 2013) and Jinjer - Pisces (studio session). The third one of the holy trinity of rock/metal reactions is "Devin Townsend - Kingdom (live EMGTV)" this performance will blow your mind as much as the other two. Devin is a Canadian singer songwriter that has a career and body of work spanning nearly 30 years and is still going very strong. He also has an army of reaction fans that will come and give you his history and all the best songs to react to after this one
I've been shooting them 8 days later at M'era Luna festival as accredited photographer, which was the last show of the tour. And the last one for Jukka :-( I then shot them 2 years later again at the same place. Yu can find the shots at Music2See on Instagram
hahhaha "I am deceased" Sounds about right!! Glad you're exploring the world of Nightwish! #NWArmy is comin! Definitely check out some of these amazing songs from them: Romanticide, same show as GLS, Storytime same show, Song of Myself same show, Ever Dream same show, Poet and the Pendulum (live at Wembley, but do some research here about Tuomas, Tarja, and the whole discord that led to Tarja's departure), Weak Fantasy, Yours is an Empty Hope, The Islander live at Tampere for Marco, and finally this all leads up to The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere. Good luck! If you go further on this journey, I'll be sure to follow along. Love seeing people discover NW for the first time.
Great reaction! Please react to Nightwish's Storytime, Romanticide or Song of Myself from the same concert (Wacken 2013). And The Poet and The Pendulum (Wembley 2016). Greetings from Chile
To me she’s the equivalent to Dimash in a female version. One of the best vocalists of our times, classically trained with insane chest and mixed voice. I would’ve looooved to be there too 😍 Great reaction Jacob! 😊
Awesome! glad you love them so much! I became a fan back in the 00s in the Tarja days, so I appreciated a reactor starting with Tarja first! Although, almost every new Nw fan watched this song first, and there is absolutely no hate for that! This song is such a banger, and Floor is a Valkyrie Queen! I hope to see you do more NW videos, I’ll be here along for the ride! Again, welcome to Nightwish, and enjoy! Thank you for the video! Please do “Yours is and Empty Hope” live Mexico City next!
Awesome! I just love to see the first reactions to Floor, and Nightwish. ❤️ Oh, you should react to 'The greatest show on earth' - it is mind-blowing! Marko sings quite a lot too. But be sure to read up about the song and the meaning behind the lyrics before! ☺️

Take/react to any song from the Wacken play list and you won't be disappointed. Nice job...Peace and Long life to you and yours.
Wrong. It's Jansen, not Jensen. With an (British) A like in lager, not an E. And she can sing a lot but by far not everything. And you can take any song from any play list of any band at Wacken and won't be disappointed. ;-)
Your mouth dropped- you had a Floorgasm! This concert Wacken Open Air 2013 was attended by 82,000 people and produced the blu-ray Storytime Showtime. Floor is rated as one of the best vocalist in the world- just the tip of the iceberg here. Thank you for an awesome reaction!
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!!!
Fantastic Reaction 👏☺️. I'm a sub now ! Welcome to the Nightwish Army and to the Mystical Magical Musical Adventure that is Nightwish !!! Can't wait to see more and more ! They have so many songs that go all over the world of MUSIC 🎶 and Emotions ! Your journey is gonna be Epic ! Try " Song of Myself" from same Wacken 2013 live...one of my favorites !

That's Floor for ya, she's the real deal and her range goes from death growls to angelic operatic and anything in between (literally!) I became a fan of the band in the late 90's, 98-ish i think and fell in love with the contrast between heavy and light so to speak. When Tarja left the band and Anette stepped in, i wasnt a very big fan of the change but in all respect, Anette is a great singer herself, but it wasnt THE Nightwish sound i was looking for. Then a few years passed and i heard they had to replace Anette mid tour for a new singer and to my more than pleasant surprise it was announced that Floor Jansen, from my home country The Netherlands would take over from Anette. (she had 48 hours to get to the venue the band was at AND learn all the songs from the set list, no easy task) Now i already knew Floor was this amazing singer but even i was not prepared for it, how well she fit in the band and how good it would be, i dare say they are better now than they ever were. This is no disrespect to either of the two previous singers, both are truly good but... neither had the range Floor has and neither had that level of interaction with the audience, Floor was born to be in Nightwish. And by now, it has been shown that even the most hardcore Tarja fan, most of them anyway, all admit that Floor is next level. Some still prefer Tarja but many of us have hailed Floor as the Queen, the Valkyrie, the Siren of Nightwish, she is simply phenomenal! If you're band is that good, you want the best singer you can find for that band, not many achieve that goal... but Nightwish certainly did, they found that polished diamond they were looking for, and Floor is her name. Thnx for the react Jacob :D

@@JacobBurtonStudios id say check out Beste Zangers Floor- "Shallow", THEN Nightwish "Yours is an Empty Hope". Really hits you with the drastically different performances.
"The second we can go to shows and be in stadiums, I am literally THERE". Well, make sure your passport is up-to-date. Because you won't see Nightwish in a stadium in America. There are only four US shows scheduled for their current (interrupted) tour, two on each coast, and the largest venue they're playing seats fewer than 6,000. I saw them the last time they came around my area (five years ago), in a grubby little club on the outskirts of town. The venue has a maximum capacity of 1,000, and was NOT sold out. We got there just before the show started, and I stood fifteen feet from Marco. An unbelievable show, with almost no one there to see it. Nightwish loses money every time they tour the US, and can't grow their fan base beyond their few existing fans. I know I'm not alone among American Nightwish fans in feeling that they deserve stadium audiences, and that almost all of the artists actually selling out those stadiums instead do NOT. Nightwish is the clearest demonstration of what is wrong with the American music industry. American audiences slather over the mediocre and barely adequate, and believe that what they're hearing is the best that music can be.. They have never even heard of one of the most talented bands in the world, let alone a singer as glorious as Floor. And they never will, because there's nothing in it for (insert the names of any thousand random music business slugs and hacks). It annoys me no end when anyone in America says that "today's music sucks", because they only have other American music for comparison. America doesn't know because they don't want to know, and they don't want to know because they don't know. It just makes me want to shake a hundred million people by their lapels and scream "PAY ATTENTION" into their faces. Unfortunately, my arms aren't long enough to reach America's lapels, and after 9/11 I don't qualify for a passport. So, have fun, wish I was there. My heart is with you, even though my body is stuck in the birthplace of Garth Brooks. (MAKE AMERICA NIGHTWISH)

Tarja could do operatic. Anette could do light rock. Floor can do operatic, classical, baroque, pop, light rock, heavy rock, metal, growl, metal scream, musical theatre. And she can put them together in one song when called upon.
I need to check that one out!
@@JacobBurtonStudios "yours is an empty hope" is the one song where she full on growls. Plus Marco is singing on this as well
She growls a bit in Ghost River as well.
@@christianbinder8409 I think the Wembley version is the best; agree?
I've seen/heard Annette sing jazz too. Forgot the name of the song, but I really liked it.
Honestly, she's the best singer in the world.
Yas!! Love Tarja the Queen of Metal!
@@proxy6986 Yas!! Love Floor the Queen of planet Earth! ;-}
@@proxy6986 overrated
@@proxy6986 no, sorry... the answer we were looking for was Floor... Floor Jansen is the queen of metal, but thank you for playing... we have some lovely parting gifts for you on the way out...
This was the 13th song of a 15 song set about 70 mins in. They nail every song. Welcome aboard!
Thats incredible!!!
"This is a long Performance". Me: laugh's in the length of Greatest Show on Earth :D :D :D
Oh boy!
Indeed! Greatest Show on Earth last song of the concert (Tampere) and she stunns for 24 minutes long! 🤘🏻
greatest Show on earth is possibly one of the, if not the best! It honestly never feels longer than 10 minutes!
@@mikey289cui Pretty short in comparison to Supper's Ready or Thick as a Brick. :-D
xDDD
Welcome back to the Nightwish Army!!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!
Check out " Romanticide" from the same concert. Marco & Floor both sing.
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
And “Ghost River” too, where they perfect the beauty-and-the-beast harmonies 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
She can also growl! Check out Yours is an empty hope (Wembley), really cool song and she shows some more power
Edit:
For lower notes: Song of myself (Wacken)
For more emotional singing: The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley)
For endurance: The greatest show on earth (Tampere, was the last song of the concert, keep that in mind)
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
@@JacobBurtonStudios Np bro, I edited it with a few more songs for different fields of singing (low notes, emotional singing, and endurance)
@@JacobBurtonStudios I would first listen to a bunch of other songs before you get to the Poet and the Pendulum, because you need some background first. Also getting information about that song is quite important, and playing the version with lyrics displayed. But I´m jumping too far ahead now.
And if you want some more 'raw' Floor vocals, look at her previous bands ReVamp (e.g. Disdain) and AfterForver
@@JacobBurtonStudios Or you can do the version from Mexico city ( th-cam.com/video/DuwY1d-KIss/w-d-xo.html ) I think the mix in that version shows her growls even better
oh yeh the open mouth floorgasm
lolololololololol
I was on the side of the stage (left wing) for this performance on a little balcony, so I had a top-down view of the stage and the audience. This is by far one of the best performances I have witnessed in my life. Truly special and highly professional!
So cool!!!! #JEALOUS
#SOOOOOOOOJEALOUS
What an amazing thing to have been a part of. Truly jealous - but not in a bad way. Happy that experience is part of your life. Just wish I would've been able to be there as well. Some day, when there are time machines, this concert audience is going to swell exponentially.
tip of the iceberg mate... you re about to enter into something amazing
I'm ready!
Nightwish army reporting in 🤘
Greetings!!
15:02 She didn't show her growling, which can be heard in their song "Yours is an Empty Hope"!
Thanks for the recommendation 🙏🏻
WELCOME to the NightWish family! I am a RECENT addition to the NW Army and SO HAPPY to be here and along for the NW and Symphonic Metal ride!!! I discovered them due to a request on a React channel I co host and WOW NW Army support and LOVE and WOW WOW WOW NW!!!!!
FLOORGASM!!!! Marko WITH Floor, PURE BLISSSSSSSS!
Happy to be here!
@@JacobBurtonStudios We're NEW together brother! The welcome my kids and I got was speechless! The love these guys are showing, blows me away! Tool Army found its match with Nightwish Army! lol
I'm part of Tool Army too, nearing 30yrs now :)
I hope the Nightwish Army arrives to give their incredible advice on how to navigate the Nightwish catalogue...
I need it!
The big three songs are Ghost Love Score (Wacken), Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley) and The Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere), but you will enjoy them more if you do some other songs first and learn a bit of the bands history. My recommendation for next songs would be Storytime, Last Ride of the Day, Seven Days to the Wolves, Shuffer Before the Beautiful, Yours is an Empty Hope (Wembley version)...
"What did she not show us" after just one song.
Me: You ain't heard nothin' yet
Any recommendations on what I should listen to next?
@@JacobBurtonStudios all from her at the dutch TV Show Beste Zangers 2019, all her Coverversions she did on her own Channel, all live Performance at Wacken, Tampere, Buenos Aires, Wembley. One specific Song? No way, they are all great and unique. Maybe one she did also at a dutch TV Show, a Puccini Aria 'Oh mio babbino caro' or as a soecial guest with the dutch Symphonic Metal Band Epica, the Song 'Sancta Terra' live Retrospct Show, Simone Simons is also a great dutch female vocalists. And i'm not a Part of the Nightwish Army, just a Fan of her. Greetings from Germany. ☺
@@JacobBurtonStudios I am pretty sure Gabrial will comment and give you the Bands background and a list of songs for you to react to. Usually, the next recommended song is Romanticide from the same concert. It will show you the heavier side of Nightwish. Welcome to the NW rabbit hole. Enjoy it.
@@marcbaur677 Don't forget Stabat Mater Dolorosa from the same Epica show (Retrospect)
Stay with nightwish for now!!
Storytime, ever dream from the same concert!
7 days to the wolves, yours is an empty hope (surprise there)!!
Then poet and the pendulum (with research and lyrics) and greatest show on earth...
Marco sings too... while your lips are still red, the islander and AC/DC cover high hopes!!
I have yet to see a vocal coach react to her on TH-cam who wasn't blown away by her talent and technical ability.
It's impossible not to be SHOOK!!
I've seen two, a couple, Dimash fanboy and fangirl, total incompetence from them...
Awww my gosh I love you reaction. I realy felt the love for Music in you
Thank you so much!!
"Who is this guy?"
That is the always wonderful Empu. He's so funny, but a badass on stage.
He seems great!
Loved watching your reaction! I discovered Nightwish a few years ago and fell in love. Floor is an amazing vocalist. All the members are incredible musicians.
Thank you so much Rozzy!!!
Nightwish with Floor, the best combination ever!!!!!!!! You will learn that everybody in Nightwish is amazing!!!!!! Thanks for the reaction
Can't wait!
@@JacobBurtonStudios Do not drop Tarja, thare are a hidden treasures in the early NW era !
What about Nightwish with Tarja? ;-)
Tarja made Nightwish Nightwish. Without Tarja, Nightwish wouldn't exist today. And the typical Nightwish sound.
Oh boy.... here we go!
It got so real so fast!
Congrats to your first floorgasm. I hear the nightwish army coming...
lolololololol
To hear Floor and Mario, do “Everdream” from the same Wacken show.....
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
Mario? Marco! Or Marko! Greetings from a Marco with also long blond Hair (sadly not as long as the Nightwish Marco, but longer than Jacob's) and without a beard and three years younger. 😁😁
@@marcbaur677 Greetings!
Mario?!? It’s Marko!
Would love to see a Nintendo version of him tho... he would totally fit in the world of Zelda. 😁
@@JacobBurtonStudios Have to point out, that some stack of people, some youtube reactioners included, compared Floor's fersion wist Tarja's from End of an Era, and preferred Tarja's.. Me included (but i'm not an youtuber).
Hopefully more reactions are coming. I'm interested in seeing what you have to say about the band and particularly Floor. When Dutch people talk about really good music, artists and singers coming from our little nation (and there are a LOT), Floor is almost never talked about and it's a shame.
I for one am really happy so many international people are discovering her, so please do go down that era of Nightwish more. I'd personally recommend Weak Fantasy (Wembley 2015), 7 Days to the Wolves (Wembley 2015), Dead Boys Poem (Buenos Aires 2018) and My Walden (Tampere). There's a lot to discover, many different vibes, so any other recommendations given, including easing into the discography by reacting to the Wacken concert more are valid, and please don't be overwhelmed, go at your own pace, bu it's worth discovering more.
Thanks for the recommendation Shireen! 🙏🏻
Yup,.. she got more fame after she won “Beste Zangers”, but still less then she deserves.
1:28 and BAHM !! in your face ... 3:08 Floorgasm 1 .... 12:12 in your face number 2. ...... 13:35 floorgasm 2 .... 14:04 floorgasm 3. coming to a standstill .14:12 end !! :) patient dead :))

I have been pronounced DEAD. Cause of death? Floorgasm.
@@JacobBurtonStudios yes .. that's the reason :). but don't worry you are not the first :)
She opens her mouth and the voice of an angel emerges. She is like being all singers in one. Is there anything she can't sing? If so I haven't heard it yet. A metal goddess, an opera singer, contemporary, pop, etc., etc
She is such a versatile singer!
him checking a note "that's a D"
Me: yeah thats cute
😂 She was nowhere NEAR finished

Great Reaction !!
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
"The Greatest Show on Earth" darüber müssen wir nicht reden, das ist die Königsdisziplin
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
@@JacobBurtonStudios This is a neat list. It's always hard to wait for a reaction to "Greatest show on earth" that one is really great with backgrond information to the lyrics because they're very scientific. You should really try to follow this. Greetz
Now you've met the queen keep em coming fella. That was a great reaction thankyou.
Thank you for watching!!
Love the reaction! As usual, you started in professional mode and ended up in fan mode!
I tried to keep it professional but by the end I was basically dead!
"What did she not show us this song?" That she can do? Deathgrowls (yours is an empty hope) ... A D6 for 8 seconds (Phantom of the Opera, with Henk Poort) ... Spanish (Que Se Siente, beste zangers), Dutch (Mama, beste zangers), German / opera (Vilja Lied, beste zangers), country (About love I don't know a thing, beste zangers), smooth jazz (slow love slow), and many other things.
wowowowowowowowowoowwowowow
Also, Let it go (Frozen sound track cover), The evil that man do (Iron Maiden cover, with After Forever), Alone ( Heart / I-ten cover), Adagio ( Lara Fabian cover), etc, etc... just search and you will see her versatility... She is one of a kind, IMHO.
Agreed, this, for all its beautiful showcasing of her abilities, really is just the tip of the iceberg of what she can and does do. DEFINITELY check out all of her performances on Beste Zangers, for just how amazingly full her grit and growls can go check out yours is an empty hope, to hear a jaw dropping duet with another amazingly talented Soprano check out her guest appearance with Epica in Sancta Terra, for an acoustic sampling check out how's the heart, and for an astounding operatic moment there is Shoemaker from nightwish's latest album, human nature.
Adagio cover omg unreal
@@henkievan192 OMG indeed
How can vocal coaches not know about Floor? Always amazes me. This song only shows a little of her vocal abilities.
Because neither she nor Nightwish is promoted in the USA, which is truly sad. I didn't hear about Nightwish until '06, and I only learned about them then from a coworker.
It should be illegal that I never heard of them before TH-cam!
@@RaymondBCrisp I get that. I accidently stumbled onto them on youtube three years ago and luckily by chance they were playing 2 hours from me so got to see them live. But you would think a vocal coach would search out different vocalists.
@@JacobBurtonStudios In my 18 months Nightwish journey with The Wonder Floor Jansen, I've seen at least 20 Vocal Coaches that didn't know about her but now they sure do ,...and were all totaly mesmerized by her insane vocal abilities and versatality, awesome stage presence and crowd control ! They agree that she's not only gifted by her superb physionomy of 6' 1" goddess (super lungs and breath, large mouth,..),.. but she is very "skilled" ! Meaning that it is obvious that she has been very hard working to get where she is now ! Many VC say that they will show Floor to their students ! Also good to know that she has been herself a vocal coach for 15 years and she said in interviews that been a total "vocal nerd" and only realy paying attention on the analysis & comments done by other vocal coaches on her performances on TH-cam! So Jacob, she will probably see yours reactions if you continue your journey !
By the way, recently on her own YT channel, she has posted up to now 3 free vocal masterclasses and 5 new covers to check out! 👍
Cheers from Montreal! 🇨🇦👍🤘
@@JacobBurtonStudios You'll barely find them on places like SiriusXM as well. And yet they play WAP.
Nightwish Army !! Hold Positions!!!
How do I enlist?!
@@JacobBurtonStudios Wait for it, you'll know it when he lands...
Great reaction. You finally got here!!! Glad you enjoyed it! Stay safe!
Yes! Thank you!
5:45 "This guy" is Emppu, the guitarist. He's also known as "the Hobbit" due to his lack of height (He's 5',3") and you can find him walking from here to there, and back again.
BTW Floor is an even 6' without heels.
Tarja came from a classical background but could sing rock. Floor came from a rock background and learned to sing classical. Floor studied 4 years at the Dutch rock academy, then another year or two at the conservatory studying classical singing and musical theater. All that while being the lead singer in the band After Forever.
This song wasn't on the set list for the tour originally, when Anette was stil the singer. When Floor took over after Anette she told Tuomas that she loved this song and asked him if they could use it on the tour. It was introduced Oct 10th, ten days after Floors first show with Nightwish.
Thank you for this info! Yeah I guess I thought Emppu was going to do a duet with Floor. In the end this song was a PERFECT JAM without it being a duet
@@JacobBurtonStudios Emppu lets his guitar do the singing. 😉 Three singers is enough in a band. Floor, Marko, and Troy, who you haven't met yet. I do hope that whoever replaces Marko have a good voice too.
MY recommendations for your NEXT Nightwish vids are as follows: 1) Song of Myself (Wacken 2013), 2) Storytime (Wacken 2013), 3) Romanticide (Wacken 2913), 4) Shudder Before The Beautiful (Wembley 2015), 5) Ghost River (Wacken 2013) 6) Ever Dream (Wacken 2013), , 7) Yours is an Empty Hope (Wembley 2015). TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE getting to "The Poet and The Pendulum" (Wembley 2015) and "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere 2015).
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
You need to watch Floor with Henk Poort sing Phantom on the TV show (there is a youtube video). He's Dutch and played the Phantom but he does Nightwish's metal version with Floor. He is one of Floor's idols and she was so excited to get to sing with him. They kill it.
Thanks for the recommendation! ☺️🙏🏻
@@JacobBurtonStudios I think you'll like it.;)
Oh and your JAW DROP, at the end was priceless! You made me smile with that reaction. What didn’t she (Floor) show you? Well....
“Yours is an Empty Hope” live in Mexico City
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
If you want to hear more Marko try High Hopes and the Islander. Stunning.
who knew there were so many vocal coaches about lol
We exist! :)
Floor commented on that ;).
What didn't she showd us here? Well actually 80% of her abilities. Like seriously. She did exactly as much as the song needed. No more, no less.
(This was originally Tarja's song, but Floor made it herself. The ending she just add to this song when she joined them, and now it feels so empty without. She just have feel to it.)
We were as surprised as you are when we heard this song with her for the first time, but now 7 years later - this one is actually one of the easiest songs of her repertoar. (well maybe not easiest, just not that extreme in any direction of any style you've just heard)
Deep harsh dark growls, high note clean opera, insanely long straight notes, long quick complicated sentences that are even hard to just say, jumping up and down at the scale, you name it.
And you look at her and she looks perfectly calm like this is easy, that she still have reserves and can push even far than all of this.
(btw in english, dutch, swedish, finnish, german, italiano and spanish)
She is definitely a versatile singer! I always love to see that!
14:11 🔥 always priceless to see Vocal coaches experiencing this climax 😎😉 great reaction 🙏🏻
The best!
I'm 67 years old now and since 30 december 2021, when I heard this masterpiece for the very first time, I know and feel what the word "Floorgasm" means.
Haha! This is one of the most epic live performances ever and also the most reacted music video on YT (over 1K i think). And we have seen most of them (😵) and never get tired. This is the Floor's showcase and also her favorite live song. There are plenty of duets with Floor and Marko if and when you'll continue your Nightwish tour. Well done and greetings from Finland! ⛄👍
I need to hear Floor and Marko duet!!
@@JacobBurtonStudios romandicide has them together and Marko and floor together is pure heaven!
@@JacobBurtonStudios Try Romantacide from this concert or Ever Dream, also the live version from this concert. Actually, watch them both.
Devil and the deep dark ocean (live Buenos Aires 2018), is also one the best duet Floor & Marko.
You must check it out!
@@JacobBurtonStudios Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires will blow your brain out. Marco as the devil, Floor as a water creature.
Yes she is amazing and it is just the beginning of your travel !
I can't wait!
@@JacobBurtonStudios you can listen to all the songs she sang in the contest « beste zangers 2018 », especially the duet with Hank Port and also all the covers she did and the entiere show at wacken and and and.....
We know now that the audience are mainly time travellars; people from the future who saw this video and wanted to be there!
Thats me!!!
And she is vocal coach too!
That’s so awesome!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
let's go for more Nightwish. We are here with you, w8 for next song
Any recommendations on which one I should listen to next?
Romanticide from Waken ;-)
*Disengage Vocal Coach Mode*
*Engage Floorgasm*
...
...
...
*Finally remembers to re-engage brain*
Congratulations on your first Floorgasm, welcome to the Nightwish Army :)
Thank you!!!
First! I am sure Gabriel gave you the low down on the Phantom reaction, welcome to a great band with 3 different singers over the years. This is Floor, the 3rd (and current) lady. In my opinion there is no finer female singer around currently.
She is amazing!
Ah, I'm late to the party and he was here on another video?
loved the reaction! I know this is an uncommon one to react to as a second floor-song (usually it’s Romanticide, Storytime, ever dream, song of myself, the Islander, ghost river, yours is an empty hope, dead boys poem or something in that order) but, for AMAZING harmonies of Floor and Marko together, please listen to 7 days to the wolves! Also, as many will recommend, for a different side of marko with floor as background singer: while your lips are still red. (Don’t know if you have heard, but marko has taken a time out and has left the band, music industry and media in general, for an unkown amount of time. Let’s enjoy his performances on yt together en wish him all the best)
Thank you! Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
i wholeheartedly agree with this comment. 7 days isnt even one of my favourites but ill be dammed if marko and floor dont sound perfect together in it
Alwsys good to see someone listwning to this song... also, Sancta terra (Song by Epica featuring Floor) is a song you have to check.
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
For opera try "Oh mio babino caro" with her.
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
Or try that song with Patricia Janeckova, a girl who won the Czech version of AGT in 2010 at the age of 12 and is currently becoming one of the best sopranos in the world:
th-cam.com/video/d0f37m4FhSk/w-d-xo.html
In this video she is only 14 and outperforms Floor with this aria already. Sorry, Floor. ;-)
Troy brings his Welsh heritage with him PERFECTLY in these songs! I just LOVE the flavor he brings!
He is awesome!
@@JacobBurtonStudios I'm LOVING him and I notice when he is not focal on a song so far into my NW journey. This band is just so amazing and I am less than a week into them and WON over!
This is one of the big three of Nightwish by Tuomas, keyboardist/songwriter. The other two being "The Poet and the Pendulum" Wembley Arena 2015,14 minutes and "The Greatest Show on Earth" Tampere 2015, 20 minutes. Hope you react to more Nightwish before reacting to those two masterpieces. You need to do some research on those songs before reacting to them, otherwise you're going to miss a lot.
I hope your next reaction is to a Nightwish song with Floor and Marko together on vocals. They complement each other amazingly.
"Ever Dream" Official Live Wacken 2013, beautiful and powerful.
"Ghost River" Marko representing bad, Floor good. "Song of Myself" again Floor and Marko. Romanticide, once again Floor and Marko. All in Wacken 2013, and all three representing the heavier stuff of Nightwish.
Wacken concert is epic, but Wembley Arena 2015, Tampere 2015 (outdoors stadium), and Buenos Aires 2018 concerts are great as well. Even though Floor was not 100% ok in BA she did well. For the most part you can not even realize she's not totally ok.
Hi again from snowy Helsinki Finland.
I'll have to check those out!
Sorry, I sent my comment too early, in the middle of writing, by accident. Slip of finger. So I added a lot more to my comment to make it complete.
@@JacobBurtonStudios Greatest Show on Earth is like, belting E5s and F5s for the entire 20 min song, then you belt the last 4 lines of the chorus in G5s full power... In the end of a 90 min concert...
... and it was live performance (that's about Floors sing quality and voice control). Very good reaction and review. Thumb up and sub for that. Greetings from #NWArmy Poland.
Thank you for the sub Marcin!! :)
Floor is 6 feet, 1.5 inches tall in bare feet, and wearing 5 inch heels here.....audience of 82,000
WOW!!!
And she's still not as tall as her skillz.
She's exactly 6 feet tall, 5 inch heels? Haha that would be another 12,7 cm. By mid year Floor will be 6'5...
+ Nightwish is a Finnish band with a Dutch singer. She lives in Sweden. They sing in English and the concert is in Germany.
Floor has sung songs in English, French, Spanish, Finnish, Swedish, Dutch and German. 🤓🤪
@@herby4911 And Troy is from England.
If concerts start back up, I'm supposed to see them in NYC in October.
Take me with you! 🙌🏻🙏🏻
'What did she not show us in this song'
Every Nightwish fan is grinning when you're saying that ;)
You aint seen nothing yet...
Omg thats what I keep hearing?! What is around the next corner?!?!
@@JacobBurtonStudios growls, even bigger and higher belts, twists and turns you never saw coming :)
Floor is an amazing singer and she fits into Nightwish perfectly.
The music that Tuomas writes is just out of this world and Floor matches it with her vocals.
I am positive that my brothers and sisters in arms have already suplied you with all the songs you need to hear from Nightwish, but if you have the time i would recommend to look for Floor on 'Beste Zangers' it is a Dutch tv show where different singers sing covers from others on the couch, giving their own spin on it.
You can hear her sing pop, rock, metal, soft in Dutch, English, German and Spanish.
I would also recommend listening to Epica - Sancta Terra ft. Floor Jansen to hear her sing even more operatic together with Simone Simmons. Another Dutch singer who clearly drank from the waters of Valhalla which cascade onto our little country ;)
Loved your reaction and you've made a fan!
Floor is a vocal teacher herself. She's not actively teaching students though because she's a rock star or whatever but she's been putting out some master class videos on her TH-cam channel. Enjoyed the reaction so looking forward to seeing more. There's a lot to dive into
Thanks for the info! Thats so cool!
She did teach but her first band get a lot of gigs so she stopped teaching because she didn't had time to do those two things together. .
If they didn´t already invade your channel.... The Nightwish Army is on the way.
I'm so ready! How do I enlist?!?!
World: what style can Floor sing?
Floor: Yes!!!
lololololooolololololl- literally!
Vocal ensemble? Sean-Nós?
th-cam.com/video/-Cz8nQAi2A4/w-d-xo.html
I wonder if Floor can do this. ;-)
OMG you just did it ! I will love this video im sure. Hugs from brazil Jacob !
Yay! Thank you!
I highly recommend "Ever Dream" from the same concert Wacken 2013
Thanks for the recommendation 🙏🏻
Gday, I have recently come across your channel as a fan of reaction videos. I notice you have done 2 of the 3 most reacted to rock/metal videos in Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (live Waken 2013) and Jinjer - Pisces (studio session). The third one of the holy trinity of rock/metal reactions is "Devin Townsend - Kingdom (live EMGTV)" this performance will blow your mind as much as the other two.
Devin is a Canadian singer songwriter that has a career and body of work spanning nearly 30 years and is still going very strong. He also has an army of reaction fans that will come and give you his history and all the best songs to react to after this one
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
I've been shooting them 8 days later at M'era Luna festival as accredited photographer, which was the last show of the tour. And the last one for Jukka :-(
I then shot them 2 years later again at the same place.
Yu can find the shots at Music2See on Instagram
So cool!
She commands, we obey. Yes it is that simple!
I will do as she says
hahhaha "I am deceased"
Sounds about right!! Glad you're exploring the world of Nightwish! #NWArmy is comin! Definitely check out some of these amazing songs from them: Romanticide, same show as GLS, Storytime same show, Song of Myself same show, Ever Dream same show, Poet and the Pendulum (live at Wembley, but do some research here about Tuomas, Tarja, and the whole discord that led to Tarja's departure), Weak Fantasy, Yours is an Empty Hope, The Islander live at Tampere for Marco, and finally this all leads up to The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere.
Good luck! If you go further on this journey, I'll be sure to follow along. Love seeing people discover NW for the first time.
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
OMG, where is Gabriel!? Dutch Army is in...Enjoy your journey and of course "Stay Safe"
I am excited to meet him!
SHE is Amazing ....welcome to the ride.
Thank you! Happy to be here!
Nightwish Army Present and accounted for
Show me where I go to enlist!
My man had a floorgasm.
100%
Great reaction! Please react to Nightwish's Storytime, Romanticide or Song of Myself from the same concert (Wacken 2013). And The Poet and The Pendulum (Wembley 2016). Greetings from Chile
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
Was part of that insane audience. EPIC.
I’m v. jealous!
To me she’s the equivalent to Dimash in a female version. One of the best vocalists of our times, classically trained with insane chest and mixed voice. I would’ve looooved to be there too 😍
Great reaction Jacob! 😊
Thank you so much!!! :)
What did she not show us in this song?
MANY things haha!!
Wow!
@@JacobBurtonStudios I can't wait for you to discover more😊
Awesome! glad you love them so much! I became a fan back in the 00s in the Tarja days, so I appreciated a reactor starting with Tarja first! Although, almost every new Nw fan watched this song first, and there is absolutely no hate for that! This song is such a banger, and Floor is a Valkyrie Queen! I hope to see you do more NW videos, I’ll be here along for the ride! Again, welcome to Nightwish, and enjoy!
Thank you for the video!
Please do “Yours is and Empty Hope” live Mexico City next!
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
IMO skip Anette. I stopped listening to NW with Anette, Floor got me back, my 1st reaction to Floor was 😲
14:10 floorgasm confirmed!
🤯💁🏼♂️
Awesome!
I just love to see the first reactions to Floor, and Nightwish. ❤️
Oh, you should react to 'The greatest show on earth' - it is mind-blowing!
Marko sings quite a lot too.
But be sure to read up about the song and the meaning behind the lyrics before! ☺️
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻

Hmm... But i don't know.
Perhaps because it might be unpleasent for some people to get a compliment? 🤔

And your hair i can't see 🤷♀️
Maybe...
Otherwhise you would also get a compliment with apologise 😜
(Wow... 🤦♀️
Better don't take me to seriously today 🤪)
Great reaction, subbed to follow your Nightwish journey..... Ever dream and Story time from Wacken are both great.
Thanks for subbing!!!
Her name is Floor Jansen (Yen-sen) and she can sing.....EVERYTHING.....including a phonebook from any where you might choose from! No group can duplicate what they can do. Take/react to any song from the Wacken play list and you won't be disappointed. Nice job...Peace and Long life to you and yours.
She is amazing!
Wrong. It's Jansen, not Jensen. With an (British) A like in lager, not an E.
And she can sing a lot but by far not everything. And you can take any song from any play list of any band at Wacken and won't be disappointed. ;-)
Your mouth dropped- you had a Floorgasm! This concert Wacken Open Air 2013 was attended by 82,000 people and produced the blu-ray Storytime Showtime. Floor is rated as one of the best vocalist in the world- just the tip of the iceberg here. Thank you for an awesome reaction!
Try Romanticide from this same concert..
Thank you!
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!!!
Wowowiwowowiwowowwowowowow

So many great performances to look forward to, and Stories behind the songs !! Best wishes from the hills of East Tennessee USA ❤️ ! (Nightwish Army resident Hillbilly/Hippie. LOL 😂)

@@JacobBurtonStudios You're Welcome
Oh boy here we go again! Great reaction! Keep on going
Thank you! Will do!
That's Floor for ya, she's the real deal and her range goes from death growls to angelic operatic and anything in between (literally!)
I became a fan of the band in the late 90's, 98-ish i think and fell in love with the contrast between heavy and light so to speak.
When Tarja left the band and Anette stepped in, i wasnt a very big fan of the change but in all respect, Anette is a great singer herself, but it wasnt THE Nightwish sound i was looking for.
Then a few years passed and i heard they had to replace Anette mid tour for a new singer and to my more than pleasant surprise it was announced that Floor Jansen, from my home country The Netherlands would take over from Anette. (she had 48 hours to get to the venue the band was at AND learn all the songs from the set list, no easy task)
Now i already knew Floor was this amazing singer but even i was not prepared for it, how well she fit in the band and how good it would be, i dare say they are better now than they ever were.
This is no disrespect to either of the two previous singers, both are truly good but... neither had the range Floor has and neither had that level of interaction with the audience, Floor was born to be in Nightwish.
And by now, it has been shown that even the most hardcore Tarja fan, most of them anyway, all admit that Floor is next level.
Some still prefer Tarja but many of us have hailed Floor as the Queen, the Valkyrie, the Siren of Nightwish, she is simply phenomenal!
If you're band is that good, you want the best singer you can find for that band, not many achieve that goal... but Nightwish certainly did, they found that polished diamond they were looking for, and Floor is her name.
Thnx for the react Jacob :D
Thank you for this info!!
@@JacobBurtonStudios you're welcome :)
NIGHTWISH ARMY COSTA RICA IS HERE!!!!
Welcome to the best of the best our queen FLOOR JANSEN

@@JacobBurtonStudios id say check out Beste Zangers Floor- "Shallow", THEN Nightwish "Yours is an Empty Hope". Really hits you with the drastically different performances.
@@JacobBurtonStudios might i suggest The Islander from the Tampere 2015 show to hear more of the range of Marko
love your style, great reaction, thanks
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you so much for the positive feedback!
"The second we can go to shows and be in stadiums, I am literally THERE".
Well, make sure your passport is up-to-date. Because you won't see Nightwish in a stadium in America. There are only four US shows scheduled for their current (interrupted) tour, two on each coast, and the largest venue they're playing seats fewer than 6,000.
I saw them the last time they came around my area (five years ago), in a grubby little club on the outskirts of town. The venue has a maximum capacity of 1,000, and was NOT sold out. We got there just before the show started, and I stood fifteen feet from Marco. An unbelievable show, with almost no one there to see it. Nightwish loses money every time they tour the US, and can't grow their fan base beyond their few existing fans. I know I'm not alone among American Nightwish fans in feeling that they deserve stadium audiences, and that almost all of the artists actually selling out those stadiums instead do NOT.
Nightwish is the clearest demonstration of what is wrong with the American music industry. American audiences slather over the mediocre and barely adequate, and believe that what they're hearing is the best that music can be.. They have never even heard of one of the most talented bands in the world, let alone a singer as glorious as Floor. And they never will, because there's nothing in it for (insert the names of any thousand random music business slugs and hacks).
It annoys me no end when anyone in America says that "today's music sucks", because they only have other American music for comparison. America doesn't know because they don't want to know, and they don't want to know because they don't know. It just makes me want to shake a hundred million people by their lapels and scream "PAY ATTENTION" into their faces. Unfortunately, my arms aren't long enough to reach America's lapels, and after 9/11 I don't qualify for a passport. So, have fun, wish I was there. My heart is with you, even though my body is stuck in the birthplace of Garth Brooks.
(MAKE AMERICA NIGHTWISH)
As long as Nightwish is still playing, todays music is not dead! I totally agree! It's all about what we're listening to!
I soooo agree with this sir it's frikken criminal to say the least!😡🤬
She's from another dimension.... FLOOOOR❤❤❤❤
She really is!
Next: Yours is an empty hope, storytime and stargazers sir.
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏻
Seven days to the wolves 🤘🏻
