What an incredible honour to be on this list. Thank you so much for considering my reaction, this band is beyond phenomenal and getting to see them live recently for the first time was mind blowing. 🙏🙏🙏
I remember loving your reaction - I'm musically clueless, so it was fantastic hearing so much breakdown about things I didn't know existed that were right in front of me. I just listen to music. But the topping on the cake when when you went back and reacted to your reaction. I felt bad for you because you were pretty hard on yourself. No need to be! Just be yourself - that's awesome enough. (Oh, your tie-ups w/ Julia are great, too!)
Don Larsen 0 seconds ago While Chase and Elizabeth (both appearing on this video) are personal favorites, I can't pick a best reactor, but allow me to say this; a Chase Carneson and either Julia Nilon or Elizabeth Zharoff collaboration (or what the hell a threesome) wherein Chase analyzes the musicanship, arrangement, etc. and the ladies analyze Floor's vocals . That reaction may well break the internet.
Congrats to Chase Carneson, I agree that he gave the best reaction. He reacted to the whole band and the structure of the music, while others focused more on the singing. And of course a shout out to Gabriel, who took over the General's rank after the unforgettable Ann Waychoff. Last but definitely not least the biggest thanks to Tuomas for writing this epic piece of music and the band for performing this flawless. ❤🤘🏽
Chase is amazing! The first time I saw him, he was reacting to an Epica song...after listening to the first 10 seconds he gave all of this analysis, it was incredible!
My audiophile husband and I have been in the habit for many years of checking out expensive sound systems that we may never be able to afford. After the GLS Wacken 2013 recording became available, we made sure to bring the CD along on our test runs. The most expensive sound system we were given the privilege of enjoying for a few minutes was around $40,000. So you might say that we were live reactors to this epic song years before it became the headliner for TH-cam reactions. I wonder how many audio store techs remember that goofy couple who would come barging into their shiny showrooms to insist they hear this extraordinary music. This was before youtube reactions to GLS was a thing, so not one of them had ever heard it before. We're not at all surprised this performance became so widely popular. For all the reasons in this video, we couldn't help but share our obsession with it to anyone we could get to listen to it.
Been a Nightwish fan for 17 years. Always had "obscure" musical tastes that a lot of people didn't "get". But I never stopped sharing their music with people. I think the reaction movement has gotten people to be more open minded to music that they would never otherwise give a chance. It makes me happy to see Nightwish appreciated on a bigger level.
This video makes me feel so much pride of being part of such an amazing army and so proud of all the success the band has reached from the moment Floor stepped in as their lead female singer
"This video makes me feel so much pride of being part of such an amazing army" You had me there. "so proud of all the success the band has reached from the moment Floor stepped in as their lead female singer" But you lost me there. Sorry, but that's very disrespectful to Tarja, the original vocalist who helped make Nightwish what it is and Anette, her replacement. You may not have meant disrespect, but for those of us who've been around since the beginning, it's definitely a slight as they were successful before Floor came on board. Please don't read that as I'm yelling. I'm not. Just trying to be instructive. We're all part of the army! 💛
@@michaelm.1947 I disagree, I've been there from the very, very beginning and I actually agree with that quote. I don't think it means disrespect to the past. Without Tarja and Anette they couldn't be where they are today, sure, but that also includes the massive soar this song has taken since Floor so magically gave it her own spin. Nightwish is bigger than ever, WITH or maybe because of Floor. I don't mean to be harsh to you either of course, I'm just discussing opinions. I was just thinking that I loved GLS when it first came out but it always felt "unfinished" to me in Tarja version. In a lot of ways Floor was that perfect piece to the puzzle.
@Lisanne Interesting how everyones opinion is different. =) I do agree with Michael M. and less with you. But that´s totally fine. I needed a long time to find my opinion on how and who Nightwish is today and how I feel about it. Already as Imaginarium came out Nightwish was bigger than with Tarja before and with Floor it grows even bigger, but that was for sure just a process over time. Tarja was the singer(position), who made Nightwish big, famous and a well known name, it was understandable to take Anette, as a singer with a completly different style after that, cause the footsteps that the successor would step into were just too big. And cause of a pop voice appeals to a wider audience than pure opera singing Nightwish got a way bigger fanbase after that. Then Floor came. And one big difference on this Era-change was, that Floor was already known worldwide. So the grown bigger Nightwish now merged with an almost equal famous singer + she could sing the old songs in a 'more old way' again, wich let come back the one or other fan Nightwish lost while Anette's Era. I think if the situation with Tarja and Floor would have been the other way around, we would have the same conversations today. That are just my thought about the development of Nightwish. Now my opinion about the singers. I totally adore Nightwish with Tarja, even it was the beginning and not fully matured. For me it´s the perfect combination of music and voice, a perfect soul. As Anette came I hated her, but I was 16 and hadn´t the farsightedness why she was good for NW. As Floor came I understood it. Now there was someone, who sings opera-like again the old songs and even if Floor is a great singer, no question, I don´t like her way of singing(no matter if old or new songs). I found out for myself, that when Anette sang the old songs she made it to something so different that it was good again. And even if I really don´t like the arguments 'compare Tarja and Floor in this song x', cause always they take a version from Tarja from f.e. 2001, where she didn´t even had a completed vocal training 'against' a full grown Floor from 2015, I found out for myself that I still find the original versions the best. And I think if we all just love our own version and respect each others opinion, we´re such a big and great army of NW-Fans bound by the one thing we love, the music of Nightwsh.
Epic with Tarja, absolutely stratospheric with Floor. If ever a song justified endless reactions and viewings of reactions it is GLS and this reaction to the reactions is an epic in itself.
Nightwish Army Germany checking in. VERY Nice Sir !! Thanks a lot for that ! I especially like Fact #2 about our General (by Acclamation) Gabriel !! He deserves the praise for his hard work. Beside that: 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 !
No. 0 - it puts tears in men's eyes - half life sistah picked this up, i have also seen it in comments to the reaction videos. And for some reason it does it to me every time. As someone who played guitar in bands many years ago, the song, the vocals, the arrangement, the talent of each musician, the performance and the production for me represent the pinnacle of musical achievement in each respect and beyond anything I could have imagined all those years ago when I played and dreamed..
I’d have to give an honorable mention to Julia Nilon’s reaction as well. (I’d put her reaction on my top 5 list in place of the Valkyrie Queen herself, on this list)
What a great montage. Yes, we of the Nightwish Army persuasion really feel good about this breakdown of why Ghost Love Score is, far and away, the most reacted to band performance on TH-cam. Great work, Wim, putting this together for us.
I adore this compilation!! ♥️ There wasn’t a single reaction shown that I haven’t seen, plus 200 more… I adore Chase Carneson! Nightwish Army checking in from Alaska ❄️ 🎶 ❤️ 🤘
It finally happened, Gabriel was given a prominent spot in a video, well deserved too! He's the General for good reasons ;) (ps. i forgot to add, GREAT video!!)
to whom ? no one appointed him, he decided on his own to take up what AnnW.was doing, but Ann would have never allowed anyone to anoint her as some type of YT fan base leader,etc. she would never allow a reactor to think her advice or "list" is what they should follow.
@@nicod1361 is that what i suggested a year ago? no, i like Gabriel for the work he does in honor of Ann, the work he still continues today. And for that reason i liked it that he got a "honorable mention" here. I do not see your problem with this, Ann gets remembered as it should be. So.. why this type of reply? you wish people to forget about Ann? or do you dislike that Gabriel took up the mantle and was GIVEN the honorary title by the remaining fanbase, you excluded it seems.
@@nicod1361 actually no, but i do not see why Ann's ways should be Gabriel's ways as well, Ann might not have accepted the title, but that does not mean Gabriel should not have done so either, different people, different ways to approach it. And like i said, the title was given to him, he did not take it, and he also does not tell people to follow the list. If anything, he is very respectful of Ann's legacy and wants to keep that legacy alive. But yeah, maybe i do not get what you try to convey here, as much as you do not seem to get what i am trying to say. It's almost as if you feel insulted on how Gabriel was given that title after he took up the mantle on honor of Ann. And again, i might be wrong in that notion too, but how am i to see it? That Gabriel should not do this? or that people should not have given him that title? i'm not the one who gave him that, i just went along with it, different story. So.. what exactly is your issue with that?
@@j0hnn13K I have no issue with Gab doing his list and welcome letter at all, the problem starts when he "allows" so many to tell reactors things like "just follow Gabriels list" "he is your guide" etc, etc, that has been going on for some time now ,and a very many reactors have been led to think that they should exclusively only follow his "list" etc, thus everyone else becomes irrelevant, I have been posting lists before Gab started to, but I would never let a reactor think I was their go to person, or allow anyone to label me "NW Army "general" or "leading the NW fan base" it just seems ridiculous given the size of the NW YT fan base
It is Floor's autograph to climax the finals of a song with full volume, mouth wide open. She already did so before Nightwish, and the ending of Ghost Love Score as it was did not suffice for her, with the instruments finishing it.. So she asked the boys to let her 'freewheel a bit' on the ending. It was only months after she joined them. "Cool," the boys said. And so it became her ending of the song, and the fans almost can not wait for that thrill. Floor is a marvellous vocalist, and many of the harmonies with Marko show her skills. check out Floor Jansen with Revamp or with Ayreon to hear what she has been doing. Ghost Love Score is a fine proof of mastery for Floor.
By far the greatest live performance ever. Everything gets along in this epic: Floor's fantastic vocals, the built-up of the song and the instrumentals of the rest of the band.
Oh my, I recall seeing HalfLifeSistah's reaction to this and reacting myself with a mental "Aye, that's how it is for everyone, dear lady!" :) My own emotional reaction is strong and always tinged with the wistful wish that my wife could have still been alive to share this masterpiece with when I eventually found it a few years ago. And of course now I have to go and listen to Ghost Love Score :D
since 1999 and by accident i started listening and enjoying nightwish the best band ever there will never be a better band went trough their ups and downs member leaving new ones coming and still this is a journey that will never stop as long as we have our rock mozart at the helm
@@wivan27 re: Gabriel B. to whom is he to lead? the "Nightwish Army" is not led or guided or spoken for by ANY one person,? no one appointed him, he decided on his own to take up what AnnW.was doing, but Ann would have never allowed anyone to anoint her as some type of YT fan base leader,etc. she would never allow a reactor to think her advice or "list" is what they should follow.
I presume that No.4 is also an expert train spotter. Performance, interpretation, subtlety and emotion cannot be reduced to mere numbers. The mathematical school of review is all very well in a musical seminar but I can assure you that most people listening to this track will react to the emotion of the moment
MusicTeacherReacts (no.4) covers your points at the start of his video and whilst his analysis is valid there’s a fair bit of self parody to it. In his original first time hearing reaction video the emotion of the song and the performance hits him like an express train 🚆( and now I’m probably sounding like the trainspotter!)
@@wivan27 One MAJOR correction which is an INSULT to this MASSIVE fan base on YT ,Gabriel Bardac is NOT in ANY way appointed as any so called leader or representative , he is self appointed and a relatively newer fan who does NOT represent this huge fan base and to imply such is to diminish of all the other fans who put in as much effort to promote the band on YT , shame on you !
@@nicod1361 Nico, this was a tongue-in-cheek remark, in no way intended as disrespect to other fans trying to promote the band - hey, I'm one of them myself :)
@@nicod1361 No disrespect, but your comment was uncalled for. Gabriel has done an amazing job and i will bet you 90% of the army and fanbase could care less that he is mentioned. Funny thing is I have watched thousands of Nightwish reactions and have never seen your name, but I always see Gabriel and he gets fantastic feedback. You are probably the one who bitches about first time listeners who bring up the names Amy Lee or Evanescence. Chill out and be a true fan and not a Trol.
Why? - Because the Arrangement is multi-faceted, with small, repeating elements entering, teasing, then departing only to return again. It becomes a familiar rhythm, lapping at the shore. - The Listener can hear what they wish : metal's thunder and crash, a symphony, an opera or classical fare. If it's not your cup of tea, wait a minute... its like the weather in Oregon... things will change. - Because it is technically, "that good". Each instrument and orchestrated grouping is performed immaculately, without rush or drag, with incredible white-space left in the spectra for vocals.... the reason they 'dominate' is because there is ample room there to fill. This song can be whatever the listener wants it to be. It is "easy to listen to", so the mind has ample cpu cycles left to spend constructing the emotional content, following the story, and body-surf the key changes and rhythmic design. It is a perfect example of Why we should strive to Keep good things. Yes, we Can have good things.
GLS from Wacken 2013 is definitely the bench mark version. Thanks for putting such a well thought out piece. It was most enjoyable to one of thee greatest songs ever composed.
I'd love to see something like this for "The Greatest Show On Earth." If so, please consider the reaction by "History Buff" for the top 5. I've never seen a better breakdown about this masterpiece of knowledge that was composed by Tuomas. Some of these reactors do a phenomenal job of educating while they react, and others just watch, say "I like it" and sign off. Rewarding those who really put in the work, who add value to the time we dedicate to watching something we love so much, is only fair. While I try to comment on those, having you develop something like this has to make them feel as though the community respects their efforts. I thank you on my behalf, and I believe others like me who might not comment, but feel it. Much respect and thanks, my friend. Job well done!
Nightwish Army Captain Simmons from Fort Myers Florida! Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! I am going in December to see them in Stuttgart!!! Can't wait! Also going to Porsche Museum and Mercedes-Benz Museum!
I think I have seen all those reactions on the list.. and many more. I started when I was working on project away from home town and had to stay there for weekdays... nothing much to do in the evenings but youtube and sauna.. and some mini painting n stuff. Anyways from there on it has been one of my fav pastimes to watch NW reactions, not so much of late, but do still anyways :) I fellow finnish.. but I really found NW with reactions... and GLS was that brought me in... too bad I dont remember which reaction I did watch first.. damn.. fuk... Gabe will be smiling from ear to ear and we will never hear the end of it.. uh.. oh well..
I remember requesting Rebecca Vocal Athlete to check out Ghost Love Score on one of her other videos. I can’t for the life of me remember what video it was but I like to think I helped in starting this Nightwish reaction train lol
I love Rebecca Vocal Athlete. What happened to her and Nightwish /Floor reactions? Especially with Floor having all new covers and originals coming out. She hasn't done a reaction video to them in forever. Ghost Love Score was her first reaction. My favorite is her reaction to Floor and Henk doing Phantom. She literally had a Floorgasm towards the end. Freaking funniest thing ever.
Here’s my reaction story, Trigger warning for death. In 2017 my mom suddenly passed away in her sleep. My dad and I grieved together by sharing music. He and I have always had the same taste. I mean at 6 years old I went to ozzfest how cool is that? Fast forward to mid 2017, dad calls me and tells me there’s this new band he found on “the TH-cam” he said they’re called nightwish. And that’s what started it. Let’s fast forward to December, my dads mom passed away suddenly, same house as my mom. That night dad introduced me to Poet and the Pendulum. And then for the past few years every week I’d get calls about songs he’d seen in reactions that he thought I’d like, every single song by Nightwish and Sabaton! Come April 24, my dad suddenly passes. May 8th was the night we were supposed to see Nightwish together. I buried him with his ticket, he was there in spirit. I also buried him with a sketch of a tree I drew with the lyrics of “Our Decades in the Sun”. This band has helped me through my darkest times. My dad is rocking wherever his celestial life brought him. Thank you Nightwish and the Nightwish army ❤️
I would like to mention the GLS reaction by David Heretic, too. He may not have as many views as the bigger channels but his reaction was both funny and insightful.
i've watched hundreds of reactions over the years, love seeing them discover Nightwish. It seems to come in waves. Plus the vocal coaches and music teachers always point something else out. Floor reacting was very special too! And thanks to Gabriel for welcoming each one to the Nightwish army.
All the reactors you mentioned are wonderful. I’ve enjoyed every one of them. I’ve listened to it I don’t how many times, and I never get tired of it. It’s just a shame you didn’t include the original version.
For me GLS reactions phenomena is especially interesting partly because in my opinion GLS is not the easiest Nw song to enjoy and understand from the 1st listening. As it was mentioned in this video, the music is very complex. Seems like for those who have not listened to Nw (or symphonic metal in general?) before this song is also kinda... unpredictable. I remember listening to Endless Forms and Human Nature albums for the first time, and even if I'm familiar with Holopainen's music for years I never could predict where the melody will go, when it will make you stop and scream internally 😂
🤩👌💥💯🎼 Okay... Neat glimpse of "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013 reactors... Just few of them though. The amount of views gathered by reactors comes to this particular video from the "average" music consumers after all. Then steps in the technical break downs from different directions done by reactors which definitely helps 'ordinary' music listener to dig deeper on this version of the song --> Nightwish live performances. 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Genial Video!!! Comparto casi todo lo aquí expresado; lo único q diría en la mención de las mejores "reacciones/análisis" es que no pueden faltar la de los canales de "JULIA NILON" y "SABINA"; Son Apoteóticas!!! Gracias y Saludos cordiales desde Argentina!!!😉 ● LINKS: th-cam.com/video/BGL_IHZsxKw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/nENLunnxJ7Y/w-d-xo.html
The only thing I would change, and of course it cannot be changed now, is that Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice should have used Wacken 2013 version to react to. We would have seen much more fireworks from her.
If the numbers at the beginning are true, people saw more Ghost Love Score reaction videos, than the actual song... which is kinda disturbing, or maybe it's showing that, people rather like to listen to music with someone and reaction videos give that kind of sense, that you are not listening alone, sharing the experience.
I can't pick a best reactor, but allow me to say this; a Chase Carneson and either Julia Nilon or Elizabeth Zharoff collaboration (or what the hell a threesome) wherein Chase analyzes the musicanship, arrangement, etc. and the ladies analyze Floor's vocals may well break the internet.
I know Nightwish since a long time ago but with Tarja never feelt that click. She's a great singer but in my opinion very "academic" so some of the emotions and dinamism in the songs get lost. When I hear that Floor join the band immediately seen this legendary concert of Wacken and it just made me lost my head. Known her since After Forever, she's all terrain! That time this song made me cry and still, goosebumps are there always. Epic.
Same here. I've known Nightwish since 2003 but they didn't immediately click with me like Within Temptation or Theatre of Tragedy. Tarja's operatic style was a big reason, and it got worse with Anette Olzon who was servicable at best even though Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum are fantastically composed albums. Floor Jansen gave Nightwish a complete new vocal spectrum, coupled with her amazing stage presence. I'm hooked ever since watching Wacken 2013 for the first time. Tarja is a great singer in her own, and I can appreciate an album like Angels Fall First by now. Also, there are songs like Nemo, Ever Dream, and The Kinslayer that work better for me with Tarja. But Floor is so magnetic on stage, her precision is impressive, her range is breath-taking, and she can sing anything from operatic via folk and raw metal to heart-warming songs like How's The Heart and her cover-version of Lady Gaga's Shallow. If I have one complaint, then the lack of a Rest Calm version with Floor Jansen as female voice.
There is a mistake in this compilation!!! During part 4 about the song complexity and compostion you took of all the reactors you could have chosen a reactor who made a HUGE mistake. He assumed mistakenly that Tuomas had composed the song all the way to end includinbg the last few notes (the Floorgasm). He talks about how brilliant composing it is to work to THAT ending. The truth could not be further away!!!!!!!! The ending last three notes were not composed by Tuomas but by Floor. It is Floor Jansen who invented and added the ending for the song while freestyling during rehearsals. Before Floor joined NW and changed this song the ending of the song was not even remotely as impressive. By the time in this song Floor is singing those legendary final notes, Tarja would have literally already left the stage as the song would have been finished already for her!!!!
Absolutely right Mr Solo. Just listen to GLS with Tarja at Hartwall Arena 2005, a memorable performance itself, and as composed by Tuomas, and then try Floor at Wacken 2013, as adjusted by Floor.
Seen loads of reactions over the years to the point where I can’t stand some of the rectors yet ppl go mad for them. Some on the list I’ve no idea who they are. Loads of reactors are doing 12min vids on a 10 and a half min track that’s not much talking and reacting grrr
There isn't many things more annoying than the self-entitled "Nightwish Army" which is really just "Floor Army" which might admit, if pressed, that Tarja sung once too, Anette never. Nightwish is Tuomas and Tuomas is Nightwish. As for the rest, each lead singer has had her own strengths and weaknesses. And Marco was more important than any of them.
I’m sorry but I can’t agree. I love Tarja and there are Tarja tracks I prefer to Floor’s version. Tarja’s GLS is wonderful, but Floor’s ‘messing about with the ending’ just takes it to another level.
Fred, totally agree with you. That’s why I put messing about with In parentheses and by takes to another level I meant lifts it up to an even greater level of perfection.
Sadly you left out the original singer. The only reason Floor's version is so popular is because reactors want the subscribers and if they dare react to Tarja's version they get told it is the "wrong version". I like Floor's version but I LOVE Tarja's.
That is not true. Ghost Love Score at Wacken is usually the introduction to Nightwish, so how would the reactors know beforehand if any people are even going to watch that video or will they gain any subscribers by reacting to this specific version of GLS? Well, why people recommend to react to Ghost Love Score at Wacken and not for example End of and Era version? Because it's simply the most epic and impressive version of that song, so isn't it understandable that people want to give as good impression of Nightwish as possible. You have every right to love Tarja's version, but you can't change the fact that probably most of the NW fans prefer Floor's version.
@@jokuku3669 you stated opinion not fact. I have seen time and time again the comment from "the army" that Tarja's version is the wrong one. I also know that "The army" flood's reactors channels with the Wacken version request. Reactors that are trying to grow their channels will do what gets them subs and as soon as "the army" see a Floor video, they sub, but as soon as the reactor gets into either Tarja or Anette, they either lose subs or get hurtful comments. As for your comment about "Most NW fans" preferring Floor's version, I think that is your assumption. I can only speak for myself and those that I personally know and I prefer to listen to Tarja era songs sung by Tarja.
I feel you - and I am a Floor fan. I almost freak out when some criticizes Floor's voice in any way... and when I see a new NW reaction, and someone actually reacts to a Tarja song, I feel disappoinment. To imagine that you might feel that almost every time is horrible. Plus parts of the Floor fanbase can sometimes be a little...overprotective. It is not meant to hurt Tarja fans - though it does. But I also think that " The only reason Floor's version is so popular is because reactors want the subscribers " is a bold statement. It is surely ONE reason, I will give you that. And I agree with the other half of your statement: " if they dare react to Tarja's version they get told it is the "wrong version ". That is true. And itmust suck big-time.
Not true mate. GLS at Wacken 2013 is the version that most people gravitate too. There are many clickbait reactors who we’ve quickly learnt about, but the real vocal and song analyzers are always astounded by this song.
What an incredible honour to be on this list. Thank you so much for considering my reaction, this band is beyond phenomenal and getting to see them live recently for the first time was mind blowing. 🙏🙏🙏
Spotify introduced me to Nightwish but your reactions made me fall in love with their music and for that I will be forever grateful.

And cause of a pop voice appeals to a wider audience than pure opera singing Nightwish got a way bigger fanbase after that. Then Floor came. And one big difference on this Era-change was, that Floor was already known worldwide. So the grown bigger Nightwish now merged with an almost equal famous singer + she could sing the old songs in a 'more old way' again, wich let come back the one or other fan Nightwish lost while Anette's Era.
I think if the situation with Tarja and Floor would have been the other way around, we would have the same conversations today.
That are just my thought about the development of Nightwish. Now my opinion about the singers.
I totally adore Nightwish with Tarja, even it was the beginning and not fully matured. For me it´s the perfect combination of music and voice, a perfect soul. As Anette came I hated her, but I was 16 and hadn´t the farsightedness why she was good for NW. As Floor came I understood it. Now there was someone, who sings opera-like again the old songs and even if Floor is a great singer, no question, I don´t like her way of singing(no matter if old or new songs). I found out for myself, that when Anette sang the old songs she made it to something so different that it was good again. And even if I really don´t like the arguments 'compare Tarja and Floor in this song x', cause always they take a version from Tarja from f.e. 2001, where she didn´t even had a completed vocal training 'against' a full grown Floor from 2015, I found out for myself that I still find the original versions the best.
And I think if we all just love our own version and respect each others opinion, we´re such a big and great army of NW-Fans bound by the one thing we love, the music of Nightwsh.
01:05 RIP Ann Waychoff-Commanding General-Nightwish Army
Epic with Tarja, absolutely stratospheric with Floor. If ever a song justified endless reactions and viewings of reactions it is GLS and this reaction to the reactions is an epic in itself.
Bravo sir! Great work, thank you. 👏🏻
Love this song and the reactions to it. After over 2 years I still watch the new reactions 😂🤘🏻
as am i.. SO cool to watch new reactions, especially from those "in the industry"
Nightwish Army Germany checking in.
VERY Nice Sir !! Thanks a lot for that !
I especially like Fact #2 about our General (by Acclamation) Gabriel !! He deserves the praise for his hard work.
Beside that:
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 !
No. 0 - it puts tears in men's eyes - half life sistah picked this up, i have also seen it in comments to the reaction videos. And for some reason it does it to me every time. As someone who played guitar in bands many years ago, the song, the vocals, the arrangement, the talent of each musician, the performance and the production for me represent the pinnacle of musical achievement in each respect and beyond anything I could have imagined all those years ago when I played and dreamed..
Well said! 👊
I’d have to give an honorable mention to Julia Nilon’s reaction as well.
(I’d put her reaction on my top 5 list in place of the Valkyrie Queen herself, on this list)
What a great montage. Yes, we of the Nightwish Army persuasion really feel good about this breakdown of why Ghost Love Score is, far and away, the most reacted to band performance on TH-cam. Great work, Wim, putting this together for us.
I adore this compilation!! ♥️
There wasn’t a single reaction shown that I haven’t seen, plus 200 more…
I adore Chase Carneson!
Nightwish Army checking in from Alaska ❄️ 🎶 ❤️ 🤘
🙏🙏🙏
It finally happened, Gabriel was given a prominent spot in a video, well deserved too!
He's the General for good reasons ;)
(ps. i forgot to add, GREAT video!!)
to whom ? no one appointed him, he decided on his own to take up what AnnW.was doing, but Ann would have never allowed anyone to anoint her as some type of YT fan base leader,etc. she would never allow a reactor to think her advice or "list" is what they should follow.
@@nicod1361 is that what i suggested a year ago? no, i like Gabriel for the work he does in honor of Ann, the work he still continues today.
And for that reason i liked it that he got a "honorable mention" here.
I do not see your problem with this, Ann gets remembered as it should be.
So.. why this type of reply? you wish people to forget about Ann? or do you dislike that Gabriel took up the mantle and was GIVEN the honorary title by the remaining fanbase, you excluded it seems.
@@j0hnn13K it seems like you you entirely missed my point ,which was clearly spelled out ?
@@nicod1361 actually no, but i do not see why Ann's ways should be Gabriel's ways as well, Ann might not have accepted the title, but that does not mean Gabriel should not have done so either, different people, different ways to approach it.
And like i said, the title was given to him, he did not take it, and he also does not tell people to follow the list.
If anything, he is very respectful of Ann's legacy and wants to keep that legacy alive.
But yeah, maybe i do not get what you try to convey here, as much as you do not seem to get what i am trying to say.
It's almost as if you feel insulted on how Gabriel was given that title after he took up the mantle on honor of Ann.
And again, i might be wrong in that notion too, but how am i to see it? That Gabriel should not do this? or that people should not have given him that title? i'm not the one who gave him that, i just went along with it, different story.
So.. what exactly is your issue with that?
@@j0hnn13K I have no issue with Gab doing his list and welcome letter at all, the problem starts when he "allows" so many to tell reactors things like "just follow Gabriels list" "he is your guide" etc, etc, that has been going on for some time now ,and a very many reactors have been led to think that they should exclusively only follow his "list" etc, thus everyone else becomes irrelevant, I have been posting lists before Gab started to, but I would never let a reactor think I was their go to person, or allow anyone to label me "NW Army "general" or "leading the NW fan base" it just seems ridiculous given the size of the NW YT fan base
It is Floor's autograph to climax the finals of a song with full volume, mouth wide open. She already did so before Nightwish, and the ending of Ghost Love Score as it was did not suffice for her, with the instruments finishing it.. So she asked the boys to let her 'freewheel a bit' on the ending. It was only months after she joined them. "Cool," the boys said. And so it became her ending of the song, and the fans almost can not wait for that thrill. Floor is a marvellous vocalist, and many of the harmonies with Marko show her skills. check out Floor Jansen with Revamp or with Ayreon to hear what she has been doing. Ghost Love Score is a fine proof of mastery for Floor.
its never gets old watching people by their first floorgasm..the song never getting old too of course..goosebumbs includet
Great Job. Very well explained. ❤🤘
By far the greatest live performance ever. Everything gets along in this epic: Floor's fantastic vocals, the built-up of the song and the instrumentals of the rest of the band.
Oh my, I recall seeing HalfLifeSistah's reaction to this and reacting myself with a mental "Aye, that's how it is for everyone, dear lady!" :)
My own emotional reaction is strong and always tinged with the wistful wish that my wife could have still been alive to share this masterpiece with when I eventually found it a few years ago.
And of course now I have to go and listen to Ghost Love Score :D
👍👍 FLOOR JANSEN! 👍👍
since 1999 and by accident i started listening and enjoying nightwish the best band ever there will never be a better band went trough their ups and downs member leaving new ones coming and still this is a journey that will never stop as long as we have our rock mozart at the helm
I can't agree more. Floor said it herself a couple of weeks ago: he's the heart and soul of Nightwish
@@wivan27 re: Gabriel B. to whom is he to lead? the "Nightwish Army" is not led or guided or spoken for by ANY one person,? no one appointed him, he decided on his own to take up what AnnW.was doing, but Ann would have never allowed anyone to anoint her as some type of YT fan base leader,etc. she would never allow a reactor to think her advice or "list" is what they should follow.
That was cool... Thank you!
Awesome, well done 👍👊👍
Great montage thankyou
I presume that No.4 is also an expert train spotter.
Performance, interpretation, subtlety and emotion cannot be reduced to mere numbers. The mathematical school of review is all very well in a musical seminar but I can assure you that most people listening to this track will react to the emotion of the moment
MusicTeacherReacts (no.4) covers your points at the start of his video and whilst his analysis is valid there’s a fair bit of self parody to it. In his original first time hearing reaction video the emotion of the song and the performance hits him like an express train 🚆( and now I’m probably sounding like the trainspotter!)
Best song all categories ever made 🖤🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘🤘
With your handle I would have guessed you'd go for another Nightwish song :)
@@wivan27 One MAJOR correction which is an INSULT to this MASSIVE fan base on YT ,Gabriel Bardac is NOT in ANY way appointed as any so called leader or representative , he is self appointed and a relatively newer fan who does NOT represent this huge fan base and to imply such is to diminish of all the other fans who put in as much effort to promote the band on YT , shame on you !
@@nicod1361 Nico, this was a tongue-in-cheek remark, in no way intended as disrespect to other fans trying to promote the band - hey, I'm one of them myself :)
@@nicod1361 No disrespect, but your comment was uncalled for. Gabriel has done an amazing job and i will bet you 90% of the army and fanbase could care less that he is mentioned. Funny thing is I have watched thousands of Nightwish reactions and have never seen your name, but I always see Gabriel and he gets fantastic feedback. You are probably the one who bitches about first time listeners who bring up the names Amy Lee or Evanescence. Chill out and be a true fan and not a Trol.
@@wivan27 Nico seems to be that 1percenter that always finds something to complain about. Great job on this my friend. Well done.
Great video about this amazing song!!
Why?
- Because the Arrangement is multi-faceted, with small, repeating elements entering, teasing, then departing only to return again.
It becomes a familiar rhythm, lapping at the shore.
- The Listener can hear what they wish : metal's thunder and crash, a symphony, an opera or classical fare. If it's not your cup of tea, wait a minute... its like the weather in Oregon... things will change.
- Because it is technically, "that good". Each instrument and orchestrated grouping is performed immaculately, without rush or drag, with incredible white-space left in the spectra for vocals.... the reason they 'dominate' is because there is ample room there to fill.
This song can be whatever the listener wants it to be.
It is "easy to listen to", so the mind has ample cpu cycles left to spend constructing the emotional content, following the story, and body-surf the key changes and rhythmic design.
It is a perfect example of Why we should strive to Keep good things.
Yes, we Can have good things.
GLS from Wacken 2013 is definitely the bench mark version.
Thanks for putting such a well thought out piece. It was most enjoyable to one of thee greatest songs ever composed.
Have you heard GLS from Rio de Janiero 2012?
The adoring beast . That is beyond great. The low beautiful registry is the best ive heard from any vocalist.
Hi Wim, some of them have even made 2 reaction video's of this song, they did Buenos Aires first and then they did Wacken 2013 too...
1450 yes our Queen you did that and our lives have been blessed
These last weeks, i have listened to so many "Nightwish reactions", maybe my neighbours think i'm crazy lol
WOW, really enjoyed this, thank you!!! 🤘
I'd love to see something like this for "The Greatest Show On Earth." If so, please consider the reaction by "History Buff" for the top 5. I've never seen a better breakdown about this masterpiece of knowledge that was composed by Tuomas. Some of these reactors do a phenomenal job of educating while they react, and others just watch, say "I like it" and sign off. Rewarding those who really put in the work, who add value to the time we dedicate to watching something we love so much, is only fair. While I try to comment on those, having you develop something like this has to make them feel as though the community respects their efforts. I thank you on my behalf, and I believe others like me who might not comment, but feel it. Much respect and thanks, my friend. Job well done!
Yes!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen! GLS has the first song profiler I ever witnessed on TH-cam! That is a hell of a job, Wim! Hats off !!!
I think it’s more than ‘that note’, it’s ‘The Note’.
Floor hit the damn Spirit note on this one ❤️
What a fantastic work, amazing video. Thanks.
Nightwish Army Captain Simmons from Fort Myers Florida! Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!!
I am going in December to see them in Stuttgart!!! Can't wait! Also going to Porsche Museum and Mercedes-Benz Museum!
I think I have seen all those reactions on the list.. and many more. I started when I was working on project away from home town and had to stay there for weekdays... nothing much to do in the evenings but youtube and sauna.. and some mini painting n stuff. Anyways from there on it has been one of my fav pastimes to watch NW reactions, not so much of late, but do still anyways :) I fellow finnish.. but I really found NW with reactions... and GLS was that brought me in... too bad I dont remember which reaction I did watch first.. damn.. fuk... Gabe will be smiling from ear to ear and we will never hear the end of it.. uh.. oh well..
I remember requesting Rebecca Vocal Athlete to check out Ghost Love Score on one of her other videos. I can’t for the life of me remember what video it was but I like to think I helped in starting this Nightwish reaction train lol
I love Rebecca Vocal Athlete. What happened to her and Nightwish /Floor reactions? Especially with Floor having all new covers and originals coming out. She hasn't done a reaction video to them in forever. Ghost Love Score was her first reaction. My favorite is her reaction to Floor and Henk doing Phantom. She literally had a Floorgasm towards the end. Freaking funniest thing ever.
Here’s my reaction story, Trigger warning for death. In 2017 my mom suddenly passed away in her sleep. My dad and I grieved together by sharing music. He and I have always had the same taste. I mean at 6 years old I went to ozzfest how cool is that? Fast forward to mid 2017, dad calls me and tells me there’s this new band he found on “the TH-cam” he said they’re called nightwish. And that’s what started it. Let’s fast forward to December, my dads mom passed away suddenly, same house as my mom. That night dad introduced me to Poet and the Pendulum. And then for the past few years every week I’d get calls about songs he’d seen in reactions that he thought I’d like, every single song by Nightwish and Sabaton! Come April 24, my dad suddenly passes. May 8th was the night we were supposed to see Nightwish together. I buried him with his ticket, he was there in spirit. I also buried him with a sketch of a tree I drew with the lyrics of “Our Decades in the Sun”. This band has helped me through my darkest times. My dad is rocking wherever his celestial life brought him. Thank you Nightwish and the Nightwish army ❤️
I would like to mention the GLS reaction by David Heretic, too. He may not have as many views as the bigger channels but his reaction was both funny and insightful.
Excellent video. Keep up the good work.
i've watched hundreds of reactions over the years, love seeing them discover Nightwish. It seems to come in waves. Plus the vocal coaches and music teachers always point something else out. Floor reacting was very special too! And thanks to Gabriel for welcoming each one to the Nightwish army.
All the reactors you mentioned are wonderful. I’ve enjoyed every one of them. I’ve listened to it I don’t how many times, and I never get tired of it. It’s just a shame you didn’t include the original version.
Great summary! And it was great to see links from the description to the original videos!
For me GLS reactions phenomena is especially interesting partly because in my opinion GLS is not the easiest Nw song to enjoy and understand from the 1st listening. As it was mentioned in this video, the music is very complex. Seems like for those who have not listened to Nw (or symphonic metal in general?) before this song is also kinda... unpredictable. I remember listening to Endless Forms and Human Nature albums for the first time, and even if I'm familiar with Holopainen's music for years I never could predict where the melody will go, when it will make you stop and scream internally 😂
Tarja might have started the song but floor finished it.😁
Bravo! Amazing montage!
Awesome job!
🤩👌💥💯🎼
Okay... Neat glimpse of "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013 reactors... Just few of them though.
The amount of views gathered by reactors comes to this particular video from the "average" music consumers after all. Then steps in the technical break downs from different directions done by reactors which definitely helps 'ordinary' music listener to dig deeper on this version of the song --> Nightwish live performances.
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Very nice. Well done.
also.. the crowd... it seems like its almost static holding its breath during the end note.. and only continues when Floor is finished :)
So Floors notes gives her a Floorgasm every time she hears it just like us mortals. Holy Shit.
🤘🇫🇮
nightwish army from brazil
Genial Video!!! Comparto casi todo lo aquí expresado; lo único q diría en la mención de las mejores "reacciones/análisis" es que no pueden faltar la de los canales de "JULIA NILON" y "SABINA"; Son Apoteóticas!!! Gracias y Saludos cordiales desde Argentina!!!😉

Yea definitely agreed on Julia Nikon’s reaction
The only thing I would change, and of course it cannot be changed now, is that Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice should have used Wacken 2013 version to react to. We would have seen much more fireworks from her.
If the numbers at the beginning are true, people saw more Ghost Love Score reaction videos, than the actual song... which is kinda disturbing, or maybe it's showing that, people rather like to listen to music with someone and reaction videos give that kind of sense, that you are not listening alone, sharing the experience.
Floor is really good, she is amazing. But please do listen to the original Ghost Love Score with Tarja. She is on a different level.
Quick note, I'm sure a lot of those views are multiples from the same person. I know mine are. Never get tired of "that note".
No Gabriel here in the comment section.👀 I'm shocked! Where is our flag-bearer?
I can't pick a best reactor, but allow me to say this; a Chase Carneson and either Julia Nilon or Elizabeth Zharoff collaboration (or what the hell a threesome) wherein Chase analyzes the musicanship, arrangement, etc. and the ladies analyze Floor's vocals may well break the internet.
Completed by band infos, anecdotes on live acts, and a good dose of emotions by TankTheTech.
Chase is #1
While I love to watch GLS reactions, I now prefer to watch TGSOE reactions ^^. It's just the greatest show on earth, of course tampere version ^^.
I know Nightwish since a long time ago but with Tarja never feelt that click. She's a great singer but in my opinion very "academic" so some of the emotions and dinamism in the songs get lost. When I hear that Floor join the band immediately seen this legendary concert of Wacken and it just made me lost my head. Known her since After Forever, she's all terrain! That time this song made me cry and still, goosebumps are there always.
Epic.
Same here. I've known Nightwish since 2003 but they didn't immediately click with me like Within Temptation or Theatre of Tragedy. Tarja's operatic style was a big reason, and it got worse with Anette Olzon who was servicable at best even though Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum are fantastically composed albums. Floor Jansen gave Nightwish a complete new vocal spectrum, coupled with her amazing stage presence. I'm hooked ever since watching Wacken 2013 for the first time. Tarja is a great singer in her own, and I can appreciate an album like Angels Fall First by now. Also, there are songs like Nemo, Ever Dream, and The Kinslayer that work better for me with Tarja. But Floor is so magnetic on stage, her precision is impressive, her range is breath-taking, and she can sing anything from operatic via folk and raw metal to heart-warming songs like How's The Heart and her cover-version of Lady Gaga's Shallow. If I have one complaint, then the lack of a Rest Calm version with Floor Jansen as female voice.
There is a mistake in this compilation!!! During part 4 about the song complexity and compostion you took of all the reactors you could have chosen a reactor who made a HUGE mistake. He assumed mistakenly that Tuomas had composed the song all the way to end includinbg the last few notes (the Floorgasm). He talks about how brilliant composing it is to work to THAT ending. The truth could not be further away!!!!!!!! The ending last three notes were not composed by Tuomas but by Floor. It is Floor Jansen who invented and added the ending for the song while freestyling during rehearsals. Before Floor joined NW and changed this song the ending of the song was not even remotely as impressive. By the time in this song Floor is singing those legendary final notes, Tarja would have literally already left the stage as the song would have been finished already for her!!!!
Wow! I’ve not heard this before.
Absolutely right Mr Solo. Just listen to GLS with Tarja at Hartwall Arena 2005, a memorable performance itself, and as composed by Tuomas, and then try Floor at Wacken 2013, as adjusted by Floor.
Seen loads of reactions over the years to the point where I can’t stand some of the rectors yet ppl go mad for them. Some on the list I’ve no idea who they are.
Loads of reactors are doing 12min vids on a 10 and a half min track that’s not much talking and reacting grrr
I hate that reaction of a halfsisterlife, the rest i love.
I really like HalfLifeSistah. Great people, great fun.
There isn't many things more annoying than the self-entitled "Nightwish Army" which is really just "Floor Army" which might admit, if pressed, that Tarja sung once too, Anette never.
Nightwish is Tuomas and Tuomas is Nightwish. As for the rest, each lead singer has had her own strengths and weaknesses. And Marco was more important than any of them.
I think (hope) most Nightwish fans know that Tuomas is the heart and soul of the band.
HalfLifeSista is always so over the top and acted, it’s cringe all over.
Most are with Floor in vocals, but the original version with Tarja is the best.
with no end
I’m sorry but I can’t agree. I love Tarja and there are Tarja tracks I prefer to Floor’s version. Tarja’s GLS is wonderful, but Floor’s ‘messing about with the ending’ just takes it to another level.
😂😂😂. Yeah right.
@@brianwillson9567 is not messing , its make it better
Fred, totally agree with you. That’s why I put messing about with In parentheses and by takes to another level I meant lifts it up to an even greater level of perfection.
Sadly you left out the original singer. The only reason Floor's version is so popular is because reactors want the subscribers and if they dare react to Tarja's version they get told it is the "wrong version". I like Floor's version but I LOVE Tarja's.
That is not true. Ghost Love Score at Wacken is usually the introduction to Nightwish, so how would the reactors know beforehand if any people are even going to watch that video or will they gain any subscribers by reacting to this specific version of GLS? Well, why people recommend to react to Ghost Love Score at Wacken and not for example End of and Era version? Because it's simply the most epic and impressive version of that song, so isn't it understandable that people want to give as good impression of Nightwish as possible.
You have every right to love Tarja's version, but you can't change the fact that probably most of the NW fans prefer Floor's version.
@@jokuku3669 you stated opinion not fact. I have seen time and time again the comment from "the army" that Tarja's version is the wrong one. I also know that "The army" flood's reactors channels with the Wacken version request. Reactors that are trying to grow their channels will do what gets them subs and as soon as "the army" see a Floor video, they sub, but as soon as the reactor gets into either Tarja or Anette, they either lose subs or get hurtful comments.
As for your comment about "Most NW fans" preferring Floor's version, I think that is your assumption. I can only speak for myself and those that I personally know and I prefer to listen to Tarja era songs sung by Tarja.
I feel you - and I am a Floor fan. I almost freak out when some criticizes Floor's voice in any way... and when I see a new NW reaction, and someone actually reacts to a Tarja song, I feel disappoinment. To imagine that you might feel that almost every time is horrible. Plus parts of the Floor fanbase can sometimes be a little...overprotective. It is not meant to hurt Tarja fans - though it does.
But I also think that " The only reason Floor's version is so popular is because reactors want the subscribers " is a bold statement. It is surely ONE reason, I will give you that. And I agree with the other half of your statement: " if they dare react to Tarja's version they get told it is the "wrong version ". That is true. And itmust suck big-time.
Not true mate. GLS at Wacken 2013 is the version that most people gravitate too. There are many clickbait reactors who we’ve quickly learnt about, but the real vocal and song analyzers are always astounded by this song.
@@jokuku3669 well put 💪
