Hello Debbie [TheQuestionQueens] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘
Thank you so much for taking the time to share all this great information! Wow, 82k people. I knew it was a lot but wow, that’s really a lot. I absolutely loved the music, the vocals. Both brilliant!
@@thequestionqueens Thank you for your positive response! For me, as for many of us, Floor's unique voice, together with the intense-optimistic energy of the band, was like a wake-up call, helping us overcome difficult moments in our lives, like a reaffirmation of the prevalence of the spirit over matter. I hope you will continue to explore Nightwish's ocean of music with us.
@@gnomche I watched this reaction at 7.30am, while drinking my first morning coffee. There are big time zone differences between America and Eastern Europe, where I live - I think that's the main reason 🤘
@@gabriel_bardac Whenever I see your name (and/or Martine) I know I'm up to something good and well worth watching. As much as I love the wide range of Nightwish's awesome music as much I deeply appreciate and respect the positive vibes that are so genuinely connected with the kind and peaceful Nightwish Army - and all you contribute to this incredible family of music enthusiasts 👏 Looking forward to enjoy a great experiance in Kitee in June all I can say is: Thank's a lot for all you do !🤘🎶🔥🤝
First time I heard of nightwish was by accident just browsing on here and fell in love with band n this song and rock music again sadly i found them a month after they came to my state for a concert 😱🤬
About 12 people in the USA knew this band existed for years. It's not your fault. It's mainstream media that never gave them airplay on radio. I love Amy Lee, but Floor is on a level all alone at the top. She does it all from growling to opera and even Disney songs.
FYI: Nightwish started touring the US around 2003/04 for the first time. Outside of their home country finland, they had their first european tour (oceanborn) in 1999, then the wishmaster world tour (w/o US) one year later. Although they were becoming more and more popular around these times outside of finland, they were never a band that got tons of airplay on mainstream radio back then. Their songs just don't fit in this scheme too well in general because Tuomas doesn't write them with mainstream media in his mind. So here in europe, it was never only about whats played in the radio, but what you would find and listen to in a CD store at that time. Metal apparantly has always had a very much stronger following in other continents than in the US.
Haha, I knew of 12 people personally who knew of Nightwish but you are correct in that they never of the exposure as much here until I wish I had an Angel.!
welcome to Nightwish, and Floor jansen- the most talented, versatile female vocalist the planet has to offer right now. the more you go down this rabbit hole you will see for your self..thx for the react. more NW please...ROCK ON!
Floor is the best female singer I have ever heard Her stage presence is amazing too. The band is outstanding too. When I listen to Nightwish I have to remind myself that I am listening to a live performance. Who sounds this good live!?
From gutural to soprano with 4 octaves she can do all what you want That's why she's the Greatest And a very down to earth person in real life That's why we love her
Sooooo mid-way through my camera died so I had to stop and start again. You'll see where I had to do it at and tried my best to keep the music flowing right LOL! Sorry about that :)
Glad to see you doing nightwish. The evanescense comparison may not go over too well. 🙂 Comparing Floor, the night wish singer to Amy lee . but don't worry, the fans are usually nice about it.
@@matthewlayo9561 lol - but it usually is the first comparison by many. It's never meant as an insult. That being said, Nightwish fans cackle in glee when people first hear Nightwish and we whisper "only a taste. You have no idea how deep this band goes. Get ready for a long and incredible journey."
Hello Debbie. Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. And they make Symphonic Metal. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion. Watch out for the Nightwish Army. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Yeah, i know.. woke up at 4 am and now already three hours wake. Maybe i'll go and get me some coffee 😁 (listening to your nw reactions for the second time, as seen them all and still want some More 😁 ❤️ )
Thank you! As a long time member of the Nightwish Army I’ve been wanting to request this song for a while now. But as a long time member of HOG, I didn’t want to interrupt your Tom and Nova journey! Nightwish is a whole new journey I know you will enjoy and I’m here for every second of it!
@@thequestionqueens Part1 hey Debbie ! great reaction ! and Welcome to the best band and female vocalist of our time, I know bold statement but if you take the journey you will understand ,the YT fan base is massive,passionate & very active, 80% of which is for the Floor era,she stepped in Oct 2012 ,and has been their 3rd,current & "Final" vocalist ,GLS is the epitome of Symphonic Metal with more of a classical influence as is many of their compositions but many from this concert are much heavier ,also GLS is the most reacted to song on YT ever with several vocal coaches having over 2.5 Million views .But this was but a very small taste of what Floor & NW has in store for you. As someone who started listening to Nightwish and Floor with her 1st band AfterForever 20 yrs ago I offer My song list recommendations below which is solely focused on the singer you just saw & heard,cheers **there are 2 pivotal events since Floor Jansen came aboard NW in late 2012 #1 Wacken 2013 - #2 Beste Zangers 2019 at this popular Dutch tv show filmed on Ibiza some top Dutch singers past & present get together and the person on the center couch for the day has one of their songs or a song that has meaning to them sung back to them reinterpreted by the other singers,novel idea . Floor opened the show with the 1st song below and just blew everyone's mind,only two of the other singers knew who Floor was but none of them had heard her sing with such versatility,after the 8 day run of the show Floor's & NW's popularity soared,stadiums filled up and ticket sales shot up.btw since Floor joined NW & after this show NW's fan base has tripled . on Mama by Samantha S.Floor completely changes the tempo and song structure ,the song is about Samantha wanting to be more like her Mom, Que Se Siente by Rolf is originally a merenge ,mambo type song so of course Floor does it her way,Winner by Tim A. he wrote for his brother who has Spina Bifida, About Love ,Ruben wrote about his parents divorce.

"It reminds me of that voice...." Every member of the Nightwish Army - from the simplest of conscripts to the Hands of Odin: "DON'T SAY IT! DON'T SAY IT! DON'T SAY I.... Oh well nevermind... Pull up a stump, grab a horn of ale and come sit by the fire. Gabriel will tell you a little story."
Good morning from the Central Valley California. I’ve discovered Nightwish 4 yard ago, I was amazed! Now I enjoy watching new comers like yourself experience this amazing band. Welcome😊
Nightwish Army Pacific Northwest Division. You are in for a great journey. Every song will be your new favorite, until the next one. And it is a long , long journey. You took your first step.. Subscribed to watch.. No turning back now.😊
A big and warm welcome to the Nightwish Universe 👍 And it is understandable that you think of Amy Lee - she is a phenomenal singer - but not in Floor's league. No one is - simple as that. As you experience yourself - Tuomas's (keyboard) captured your attention - and then Floor came and embraced your, and took you on a journey where 10 mintues became 10 seconds - and then she gently let you free again, completely filled and warned out with used emotions, awe and passion. That's Nightwish with Floor in front 😁 And don't worry - you ain't seen or experienced nothing yet - not kidding!! They are going to carry you into a musically universe, you didn't know existed - and it's going to blow your mind. Tuomas is a true genius of a composer, able to write deep deep poetic lyrics - stories wrapped into Symphonic Metal (merge of symphony and metal music) - and Floor is by far the greatest storyteller ever. And you will meet the Nightwish Army - a few hundred thousand very keen fans from all over the world, that will do anything to help you learn about Nightwish. Just ask us - the lyrics and the composition are complexed, but we are here to help and assist you 👍 Again, a big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘 and You are going to be addicted to Nightwish - just saying 😉
Hello Debbie. Welcome from Connecticut. You picked the right epic song to start your Nightwish journey. Enjoy the ride with Nightwish and Floor Jansen the Valkyrie Goddess. It will be one hell of a ride.
Nightwish Amsterdam: Great review of this legendary song and concert. Their whole Wacken performance was phenomenal. Enjoy your Nightwish journey.😀🤘👏You won't regret it for sure.
I think that you are wacky and wonderful 😊 Welcome to Nightwish. Now you should jump down the rabbit hole and watch all of their songs. I'm sure that a small army will follow down. Much love from the Nightwish army in New York 🤗
Greetings Debbie! Nightwish Army Nebraska checking in. I have enjoyed watching your reaction to Nightwish and our Goddess Floor. It was great seeing your first Floorgasm. Follow the wealth of information that Gabriel left for you and you will not go wrong. This is just the beginning of a magical journey for you.
Your journey has just begun. Welcome to the Nightwish army there’s so many wonderful people on here who love Nightwish and Floor Jansen. She’s the best singer I have ever heard in my life I would recommend you listen to every dream greatest show on Earth Nemo I want my tears back now and story time just to get you started always pick the live albums in concert welcome to Nightwish army
Nice reaction Deb, thank you. It never gete old, she hits The Note and you have The Look. WElcome to the community, enjoy your journey. We ( Nightwish Army ) are a Global Loyal fan base that loves new fans. Look fotward to your next NW react. Be well.
And there it is again... I understand americans always compare Floor to Amy lee at the start, but as i always say even though i like Amy Lee, she can carry floors suitcase when Nightwish goes on tour, because Floor is something completly diffferent. You wil notice if you keep going on the Nightwish journey. Also, Who is Beyonce ?
Gabriel will be along shortly to give you the full story. It was because of reactors like you that I found Nightwish in the first place (Tom MacDonald, too by the way). This is "Symphonic Metal". Two powerful music style blended together. For the record: Wacken is pronounced with a V. (Vah-ken), and Floor's name is pronounced with a Y (Yansen).
@@thequestionqueens thank you sweetheart. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I remember the first time I clicked on GLS video/song reaction, and I was just flabbergasted. I've listened to a lot of rock growing up - but never heard anything like that! I was mesmerized. For the last minute and half, I could vaguely hear my wife yelling my name over my headphones, but I was too entranced to pause it. When I did, she thought I has seen a ghost...(see what i did there) and said "You HAVE to hear this". Her and my daughter watched it, I put it on the speakers, and my daughter goes "HOLY CRAP I HAVE CHILLS DAD!"
I’m coo-coo for CoCo Puffs! Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish! Symphonic metal at its best. Don’t worry about having not heard of them. The vast majority of Americans have not. They are quite popular in many European, South American, and Asian countries. This was in northwestern Germany, at Wacken Open Air with around 82,000 fans. Floor is as good a vocalist as you will find anywhere. By the way this was song #13 of 15 in the set that night. General Gabriel will be along to provide you information about the band and offer links to recommended songs, if you choose to continue your Nightwish journey. Believe me, it’s one worth making. Next, “I think it’s time for a little story. It’s definitely… Storytime!” Enjoy!
Its FLOOR !!! .. the best female vocalist of the past and coming decenia ! ... enjoy ! .. and also see her covers of famous songs .. easy to find on You Tube
Greetings from Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA! Thank you for checking out this world class band. (Best to not mention Evanescence again...we understand that's the closest that most Americans have a reference for) You will be receiving a comment from Gabriel Bardac who will provide you with a band bio and list of links to best performances, on his YT channel. It's like a guided tour thru Nightwish 101...very helpful! The band has many styles and sounds that will hopefully appeal to you...some heavier, some softer...not one bad song!
@@thequestionqueens Oh I really hope you do take the journey to discover more Nightwish! The Army will be there to educate, assist and accompany you...
@@thequestionqueens We understand due the fact that N.American music media has ignored NW and Floor Jansen and heaped tons of accolades on Amy Lee & EV ,but there is really no comparison talent wise ,the musicianship of NW is top tier ,and Floor,s vocal abilities are simply on another level :)
NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. Welcome to Symphonic Metal with our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Greatest singer of ALL TIME!❤
Welcome to Nightwish and Floor Jansen. I think you will love a lot of their music. Every song is different. All great!!! Subbed in hopes of more. I think you will love Floors solo stuff and youtube covers she did during lockdown as well. Nightwish Army, BC Canada reporting for duty 😉
Hey Debbie, I have been following and enjoying your Tom MacDonald journey. Soooo, I get on today and see you discovered Nightwish! My absolute favorite group since I found them a couple of years ago!! Great reaction to the best live band in the world. And Floor...she can and does sing anything (Disney covers included) better than any vocalist in the world imo. Please continue a Nightwish journey. The Nightwish Army will gladly accompany you.
Hi great response Floor is a versatile vocalist you are right to say she can sing anything great that you still want to listen and react to Nightwish keep it up GABRIEL BARDAC and I am honored to welcome you on behalf of the Nightwish Army because that is what we fans are called cheers from Poland
Nightwish is an incredible band and Tuomas is just a genius songwriter, every song is different and his melodies are phenomenal, they music always blows me away. And in my 62 years I have never heard a female voice that moves me as much as Floor Jansen. Her stage presence and the emotion and heart she puts into her performances is unmatched. Greatest female vocalist of all time in my book
Yeah, we love em too. You are delightful. NW army reporting for duty. General Gabriel will be along shortly to give you a history of the band and many links to new music. It's all good, all of it. Enjoy your journey.
Ok, I can tell this is a ‘First time real reaction’. Thank you for reacting to vids that r actually yur first time. I love it!!!! ALL can tell when pepl r faking it. Love ya!!
I'm so happy you've discovered Nightwish! I will join you on your journey, but I do hope you change to headphones soon. I will find out, I'm about to watch your Storytime and Romanticide videos :D Please keep on following Gabriels list!
Please buy headphones it will make the sound so much better for you and us. For the next one please do storytime from the same concert and prepare yourself for the Nightwish army
I love Evenescence too but imagine them even 100 times better. The U.S. music corporations have dumbed us Americans down and hid us under a rock. Thank goodness for TH-cam. Great reaction BTW now I'm subbed.
Nightwish Las Vegas Regiment reporting. Welcome to the world of sypmphonic metal. Your next Nightwish song should be Romanticide. You also need to checkout a band called Epica. They are also dutch and Floor is good friends with Simone (Epica's vocalist)
Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty: What you should do: Listen to Gabriel. He knows. Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul….:-) It never gets old to see people freeze when our Queen starts to sing…. About Ghost Love Score: Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again. 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 !
Great reaction!. You seem like a person who would love the band Heart and talking about the band Heart Floor has done an amazing cover of the song Alone during covid lockdown times at her home studio with piano it's such a great reindition worth a look. And also welcome onboard the Nightwish train where every songs is not fully the same. Thank you.
Yes great reaction!! Floor is a national treasure from the netherlands. You should really watch her sing phantom of the opera with henk poort. Look up "floor jansen henk poort beste zangers" it is a dutch show where the best singers perform. Much love from the netherlands!! ❤️❤️
Hi Debbie. As a huge Nightwish fan, I am really glad that you reacted to this performance by our beloved band and our 6'1" Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen. Thank you for this and welcome to our Nightwish rabbit hole. You have now scratched the tip of the iceberg. I highly recommend that you read all of Gabriel Bardac's comment and follow the link at the end which will take you to Gabriel's List of links to many more fabulous Nightwish live performances. Nightwish is one of the rare bands whose live performances are even better than their studio productions. Once again, great reaction and thank you.
Evenescence and Nightwish both started about the same time, Evanescence being just a little bit older as they were founded 1995 while Nightwish was founded 1996. However by the time of the release of the first Evanescence album 2003 and their rise to success, Nightwish has already released four albums and had two international tours extending besides Europe to South America, Mexico and Canada.
Nightwish Army South Germany Division Hello Debbie ...Our Boss, Commander-in-Chief and General of the Nightwish Army Gabriel Bardac has already told you the most important things. It only remains for me to say a warm welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and at the same time welcome as a new recruit to the ranks of the Nightwish Army. You've just seen and heard her, who is named by her fans worldwide in the sum of her honorifics in hundreds of React videos: This is Our Majesty Floor Jansen, First of her Name, Goddess of the Valkyrs, Highly Queen of the Vikings, THE Lady of Nightwish, the House Band of the Gods of Asgard, Chosen Ones of Odin ,Protector of our Metal Realm Long may she reign She raises her hand and commands an 80k+ crowd with her incredible presence and power. Just with a wave of her hand. A member of the Nightwish Army once said: The old gods of Asgard sent Floor Jansen down from the heavenly heights as their gift to Nightwish. They sent them armed with a sword in one hand and a microphone in the other. And yes, I personally believe that's how it happened. There is nothing more to say about this Greetings from Germany the lady
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered ! Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora. Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6). She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉. Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the set list in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people. The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival. We hope, that there is more coming...

Hello Debbie [TheQuestionQueens] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community
🤘
Thank you so much for taking the time to share all this great information! Wow, 82k people. I knew it was a lot but wow, that’s really a lot.
I absolutely loved the music, the vocals. Both brilliant!
@@thequestionqueens Thank you for your positive response! For me, as for many of us, Floor's unique voice, together with the intense-optimistic energy of the band, was like a wake-up call, helping us overcome difficult moments in our lives, like a reaffirmation of the prevalence of the spirit over matter. I hope you will continue to explore Nightwish's ocean of music with us.
@@gabriel_bardac Almost again before you....
@@gnomche I watched this reaction at 7.30am, while drinking my first morning coffee. There are big time zone differences between America and Eastern Europe, where I live - I think that's the main reason
🤘
@@gabriel_bardac Whenever I see your name (and/or Martine) I know I'm up to something good and well worth watching. As much as I love the wide range of Nightwish's awesome music as much I deeply appreciate and respect the positive vibes that are so genuinely connected with the kind and peaceful Nightwish Army - and all you contribute to this incredible family of music enthusiasts 👏 Looking forward to enjoy a great experiance in Kitee in June all I can say is: Thank's a lot for all you do !🤘🎶🔥🤝
Every time I see this song, I am just so impressed by Jukka DESTROYING those drums! :) He's not playing the drums, he's part of them!
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!
First time I heard of nightwish was by accident just browsing on here and fell in love with band n this song and rock music again sadly i found them a month after they came to my state for a concert 😱🤬
She's one of my top 5 vocalists ever and the BEST vocalist currently on planet Earth!
She smiled at tge end of that bit cause she knew that she nailed it in a way that would have people taking about it for decades to cone.
About 12 people in the USA knew this band existed for years. It's not your fault. It's mainstream media that never gave them airplay on radio. I love Amy Lee, but Floor is on a level all alone at the top. She does it all from growling to opera and even Disney songs.
FYI: Nightwish started touring the US around 2003/04 for the first time. Outside of their home country finland, they had their first european tour (oceanborn) in 1999, then the wishmaster world tour (w/o US) one year later.
Although they were becoming more and more popular around these times outside of finland, they were never a band that got tons of airplay on mainstream radio back then. Their songs just don't fit in this scheme too well in general because Tuomas doesn't write them with mainstream media in his mind. So here in europe, it was never only about whats played in the radio, but what you would find and listen to in a CD store at that time. Metal apparantly has always had a very much stronger following in other continents than in the US.
only simone simons (EPICA) is at/close to that level
Haha, I knew of 12 people personally who knew of Nightwish but you are correct in that they never of the exposure as much here until I wish I had an Angel.!
You’re most definitely correct on Floor being on a level of her own.
@@MrWo-qj2yh Sorry but, I loved Tarja. Yes I know Floor is better, but you can lose virginity once...
And this was almost the last song of a two hour during show ….. she is the best singer around
Do you hear the boots behind you? Here comes the Army...
welcome to Nightwish, and Floor jansen- the most talented, versatile female vocalist the planet has to offer right now. the more you go down this rabbit hole you will see for your self..thx for the react. more NW please...ROCK ON!
Floor is the best female singer I have ever heard Her stage presence is amazing too. The band is outstanding too. When I listen to Nightwish I have to remind myself that I am listening to a live performance. Who sounds this good live!?
From gutural to soprano with 4 octaves she can do all what you want
That's why she's the Greatest
And a very down to earth person in real life
That's why we love her
Welcome to Nightwish a amazingly talented group of people and your first Floorgasm . More Nightwish please
Nightwish Army Chicago Division here. Enjoy the ride with Nightwish. The most under appreciated band.. Follow General Gabriels lead.
Sooooo mid-way through my camera died so I had to stop and start again. You'll see where I had to do it at and tried my best to keep the music flowing right LOL! Sorry about that :)
Glad to see you doing nightwish. The evanescense comparison may not go over too well. 🙂
Comparing Floor, the night wish singer to Amy lee . but don't worry, the fans are usually nice about it.
@@matthewlayo9561 lol - but it usually is the first comparison by many. It's never meant as an insult. That being said, Nightwish fans cackle in glee when people first hear Nightwish and we whisper "only a taste. You have no idea how deep this band goes. Get ready for a long and incredible journey."
@@matthewlayo9561 People compare to what they know and what comes closest in their mind. Nothing wrong there and we all do that most of times.

Welcome to this wonderful and magical band.

@@thequestionqueens Part1
hey Debbie ! great reaction ! and Welcome to the best band and female vocalist of our time, I know bold statement but if you take the journey you will understand ,the YT fan base is massive,passionate & very active, 80% of which is for the Floor era,she stepped in Oct 2012 ,and has been their 3rd,current & "Final" vocalist ,GLS is the epitome of Symphonic Metal with more of a classical influence as is many of their compositions but many from this concert are much heavier ,also GLS is the most reacted to song on YT ever with several vocal coaches having over 2.5 Million views .But this was but a very small taste of what Floor & NW has in store for you.
As someone who started listening to Nightwish and Floor with her 1st band AfterForever 20 yrs ago I offer My song list recommendations below which is solely focused on the singer you just saw & heard,cheers
**there are 2 pivotal events since Floor Jansen came aboard NW in late 2012 #1 Wacken 2013 - #2 Beste Zangers 2019 at this popular Dutch tv show filmed on Ibiza some top Dutch singers past & present get together and the person on the center couch for the day has one of their songs or a song that has meaning to them sung back to them reinterpreted by the other singers,novel idea .
Floor opened the show with the 1st song below and just blew everyone's mind,only two of the other singers knew who Floor was but none of them had heard her sing with such versatility,after the 8 day run of the show Floor's & NW's popularity soared,stadiums filled up and ticket sales shot up.btw since Floor joined NW & after this show NW's fan base has tripled . on Mama by Samantha S.Floor completely changes the tempo and song structure ,the song is about Samantha wanting to be more like her Mom, Que Se Siente by Rolf is originally a merenge ,mambo type song so of course Floor does it her way,Winner by Tim A. he wrote for his brother who has Spina Bifida,
About Love ,Ruben wrote about his parents divorce.

NASA (Nightwish Army Scottish Allegiance) Welcome to your Nightwish rabbit hole journey. Greetings from Scotland ❤️
Hail to the Queen, the Poet, the Riff-maker, the Groove master, the Piper of Heaven and to the Beat Lord ! Nightwish Army Italy present !
"It reminds me of that voice...."
Every member of the Nightwish Army - from the simplest of conscripts to the Hands of Odin:
"DON'T SAY IT! DON'T SAY IT! DON'T SAY I....
Oh well nevermind... Pull up a stump, grab a horn of ale and come sit by the fire.
Gabriel will tell you a little story."
🥰
NWArmy here, welcome and enjoy your ride into this amazing band. Greetings from Greece.💯🤘
And another Nightwish rabbit hole begins.
Good morning from the Central Valley California. I’ve discovered Nightwish 4 yard ago, I was amazed! Now I enjoy watching new comers like yourself experience this amazing band. Welcome😊
Nightwish Army Pacific Northwest Division. You are in for a great journey. Every song will be your new favorite, until the next one. And it is a long , long journey. You took your first step.. Subscribed to watch.. No turning back now.😊
A big and warm welcome to the Nightwish Universe 👍
And it is understandable that you think of Amy Lee - she is a phenomenal singer - but not in Floor's league. No one is - simple as that.
As you experience yourself - Tuomas's (keyboard) captured your attention - and then Floor came and embraced your, and took you on a journey where 10 mintues became 10 seconds - and then she gently let you free again, completely filled and warned out with used emotions, awe and passion.
That's Nightwish with Floor in front 😁
And don't worry - you ain't seen or experienced nothing yet - not kidding!!
They are going to carry you into a musically universe, you didn't know existed - and it's going to blow your mind. Tuomas is a true genius of a composer, able to write deep deep poetic lyrics - stories wrapped into Symphonic Metal (merge of symphony and metal music) - and Floor is by far the greatest storyteller ever.
And you will meet the Nightwish Army - a few hundred thousand very keen fans from all over the world, that will do anything to help you learn about Nightwish. Just ask us - the lyrics and the composition are complexed, but we are here to help and assist you 👍
Again, a big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘
and
You are going to be addicted to Nightwish - just saying 😉
The Grammys: soda pop
Nightwish: aged cognac.
next one....The Greatest Show on Earth Tampere live. Such a Masterpiece.
Loved every Second seeing them Live for the first Time...even though i am older now. Yes they are very good at Storytelling. (Edema Ruh)
Hello Debbie. Welcome from Connecticut. You picked the right epic song to start your Nightwish journey. Enjoy the ride with Nightwish and Floor Jansen the Valkyrie Goddess. It will be one hell of a ride.
Nightwish Amsterdam: Great review of this legendary song and concert. Their whole Wacken performance was phenomenal. Enjoy your Nightwish journey.😀🤘👏You won't regret it for sure.
This is a great rabbit hole to go down into. Love your reaction.
I think that you are wacky and wonderful 😊 Welcome to Nightwish. Now you should jump down the rabbit hole and watch all of their songs. I'm sure that a small army will follow down. Much love from the Nightwish army in New York 🤗
❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🤗
We are here ..we are everywhere ..Nightwish Army
Greetings Debbie! Nightwish Army Nebraska checking in. I have enjoyed watching your reaction to Nightwish and our Goddess Floor. It was great seeing your first Floorgasm. Follow the wealth of information that Gabriel left for you and you will not go wrong. This is just the beginning of a magical journey for you.
Loved this reaction so much!! Your enthusiasm is infectious and I'm looking forward to seeing where your Nightwish journey takes you!😁🤘❤
Your journey has just begun. Welcome to the Nightwish army there’s so many wonderful people on here who love Nightwish and Floor Jansen. She’s the best singer I have ever heard in my life I would recommend you listen to every dream greatest show on Earth Nemo I want my tears back now and story time just to get you started always pick the live albums in concert welcome to Nightwish army
I’ve seen a ton of reactions to this song, but it’s always fun to watch someone discover their new favorite band.
See you on the next one!
Nightwish , Wacken Germany , live :)
Nice reaction and Nightwish is not just a band but an experience you don't want to miss
That song was 45 min into a show that was nearly 1 1/2 hours.
Nice reaction Deb, thank you. It never gete old, she hits The Note and you have The Look. WElcome to the community, enjoy your journey. We ( Nightwish Army ) are a Global Loyal fan base that loves new fans. Look fotward to your next NW react. Be well.
And there it is again... I understand americans always compare Floor to Amy lee at the start, but as i always say even though i like Amy Lee, she can carry floors suitcase when Nightwish goes on tour, because Floor is something completly diffferent. You wil notice if you keep going on the Nightwish journey. Also, Who is Beyonce ?
Debbie, lovely reaction and welcome to Nightwish & Floors World! Just let you be guided by Gabriel!
Oh man! I love seeing the Nightwish Army growwwwwww!! welcome!!! 🖤🤘 You just had a "floorgasm"
Gabriel will be along shortly to give you the full story. It was because of reactors like you that I found Nightwish in the first place (Tom MacDonald, too by the way).
This is "Symphonic Metal". Two powerful music style blended together.
For the record: Wacken is pronounced with a V. (Vah-ken), and Floor's name is pronounced with a Y (Yansen).
Thank you, Frostrazor! Great to see you 😊
@@thequestionqueens thank you sweetheart. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I remember the first time I clicked on GLS video/song reaction, and I was just flabbergasted. I've listened to a lot of rock growing up - but never heard anything like that! I was mesmerized. For the last minute and half, I could vaguely hear my wife yelling my name over my headphones, but I was too entranced to pause it. When I did, she thought I has seen a ghost...(see what i did there) and said "You HAVE to hear this". Her and my daughter watched it, I put it on the speakers, and my daughter goes "HOLY CRAP I HAVE CHILLS DAD!"
I’m coo-coo for CoCo Puffs! Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish! Symphonic metal at its best. Don’t worry about having not heard of them. The vast majority of Americans have not. They are quite popular in many European, South American, and Asian countries. This was in northwestern Germany, at Wacken Open Air with around 82,000 fans. Floor is as good a vocalist as you will find anywhere. By the way this was song #13 of 15 in the set that night. General Gabriel will be along to provide you information about the band and offer links to recommended songs, if you choose to continue your Nightwish journey. Believe me, it’s one worth making. Next, “I think it’s time for a little story. It’s definitely… Storytime!” Enjoy!
Your whole comment just made me twinkle with a smile!
Nightlight Army North Texas (Denton here)!!!! I'm so glad Debbie is getting into Nightwish. Stunning vocals and fantastic rock! Enjoy, Debbie!!!!!!
@@angelabennett-engele1977 Hey fellow Texan and NWArmy enlistee! I’m in Denton County myself (Frisco)
Its FLOOR !!! .. the best female vocalist of the past and coming decenia ! ... enjoy ! .. and also see her covers of famous songs .. easy to find on You Tube
I never get tired of watching people experiencing Floor perform Ghost Love Score for the first time. I wish I could have that first time again myself.
Welcome to the pinnacle of symphonic metal. You should check out Epica featuring Floor Jansen. Simone, the lead singer of Epica, is also an angel
NightWish Army Switzerland Chapter here. Welcome to Symphonic Metal with our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen. 😎👍
I always get happy feeling watching Nightwish reactions!
Nightwish is an experience.
Enjoy!
🤘😎🤘
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish!
Greetings from Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA! Thank you for checking out this world class band. (Best to not mention Evanescence again...we understand that's the closest that most Americans have a reference for)
You will be receiving a comment from Gabriel Bardac who will provide you with a band bio and list of links to best performances, on his YT channel. It's like a guided tour thru Nightwish 101...very helpful! The band has many styles and sounds that will hopefully appeal to you...some heavier, some softer...not one bad song!
Thank you. I saw the comment you’re referencing. I really appreciate the feedback. I’m definitely interested in hearing more 💙
@@thequestionqueens Oh I really hope you do take the journey to discover more Nightwish! The Army will be there to educate, assist and accompany you...
@@amygoodson-catlady thank you so very much. I love the encouragement and I am so happy to have you all here with me. ❤
@@thequestionqueens
We understand due the fact that N.American music media has ignored NW and Floor Jansen and heaped tons of accolades on Amy Lee & EV ,but there is really no comparison talent wise ,the musicianship of NW is top tier ,and Floor,s vocal abilities are simply on another level :)
NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. Welcome to Symphonic Metal with our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Greatest singer of ALL TIME!❤
Thank you so much ❤️
Your eyes are freaking beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to Nightwish and Floor Jansen.
I think you will love a lot of their music. Every song is different. All great!!! Subbed in hopes of more.
I think you will love Floors solo stuff and youtube covers she did during lockdown as well.
Nightwish Army, BC Canada reporting for duty 😉
Que d'émotions... Les émotions sont différentes selon chaque chansons ! Bienvenue dans cet univers unique !
Hey Debbie, I have been following and enjoying your Tom MacDonald journey. Soooo, I get on today and see you discovered Nightwish! My absolute favorite group since I found them a couple of years ago!! Great reaction to the best live band in the world. And Floor...she can and does sing anything (Disney covers included) better than any vocalist in the world imo. Please continue a Nightwish journey. The Nightwish Army will gladly accompany you.
Welcome to my Metalworld for more than 40 years - I ' m 55 years old with still long hair and love this music
❤
Nightwish Army in coming soon, enjoy the rabbit hole you just fell into!!!!
Hi great response Floor is a versatile vocalist you are right to say she can sing anything great that you still want to listen and react to Nightwish keep it up GABRIEL BARDAC and I am honored to welcome you on behalf of the Nightwish Army because that is what we fans are called cheers from Poland
Nightwish is an incredible band and Tuomas is just a genius songwriter, every song is different and his melodies are phenomenal, they music always blows me away. And in my 62 years I have never heard a female voice that moves me as much as Floor Jansen. Her stage presence and the emotion and heart she puts into her performances is unmatched. Greatest female vocalist of all time in my book
82,000 people at this show.
That’s just a whole heck of a lot of people! Wow.
Yeah, we love em too. You are delightful. NW army reporting for duty. General Gabriel will be along shortly to give you a history of the band and many links to new music. It's all good, all of it. Enjoy your journey.
And Floor and the Nightwish band have got better during the last 10 years . Try the Phantom of the opera ft Henk Poort in Amsterdam 2023
Ok, I can tell this is a ‘First time real reaction’. Thank you for reacting to vids that r actually yur first time. I love it!!!! ALL can tell when pepl r faking it. Love ya!!
I'm so happy you've discovered Nightwish! I will join you on your journey, but I do hope you change to headphones soon. I will find out, I'm about to watch your Storytime and Romanticide videos :D Please keep on following Gabriels list!
Please buy headphones it will make the sound so much better for you and us. For the next one please do storytime from the same concert and prepare yourself for the Nightwish army
I second the notion of headphones. 🙂
I concur
@@MickRiley me too😀
Hello Debbie, greetings from UK
that was a great reaction, thank you
I am glad you liked it 😊
Floor Jansen is supreme perfection, the best singer of all time. Nighwish + Floor Jansen, The Best band of the world.❤ Thank you by reaction😄
Hi from Scotland, Question Queen,watch your reaction to nightwish story time, subscribe,and watching your reaction from the start,love your accent
I love Evenescence too but imagine them even 100 times better. The U.S. music corporations have dumbed us Americans down and hid us under a rock. Thank goodness for TH-cam.
Great reaction BTW now I'm subbed.
I recommend you whatch the whole Nightwish Wacken 2013 concert, brilliant show.
I hope u listening more awesome Nightwish songs.
Nightwish Las Vegas Regiment reporting. Welcome to the world of sypmphonic metal. Your next Nightwish song should be Romanticide. You also need to checkout a band called Epica. They are also dutch and Floor is good friends with Simone (Epica's vocalist)
Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty:
What you should do:
Listen to Gabriel.
He knows.
Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul….:-)
It never gets old to see people freeze when our Queen starts to sing….
About Ghost Love Score:
Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again.
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 !
Great reaction!. You seem like a person who would love the band Heart and talking about the band Heart Floor has done an amazing cover of the song Alone during covid lockdown times at her home studio with piano it's such a great reindition worth a look. And also welcome onboard the Nightwish train where every songs is not fully the same. Thank you.
The genre is Symphonic Metal, a whole different vibe of Metal and many different bands to enjoy.
Yes great reaction!! Floor is a national treasure from the netherlands. You should really watch her sing phantom of the opera with henk poort. Look up "floor jansen henk poort beste zangers" it is a dutch show where the best singers perform. Much love from the netherlands!! ❤️❤️
Hi Debbie. As a huge Nightwish fan, I am really glad that you reacted to this performance by our beloved band and our 6'1" Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen. Thank you for this and welcome to our Nightwish rabbit hole. You have now scratched the tip of the iceberg. I highly recommend that you read all of Gabriel Bardac's comment and follow the link at the end which will take you to Gabriel's List of links to many more fabulous Nightwish live performances. Nightwish is one of the rare bands whose live performances are even better than their studio productions. Once again, great reaction and thank you.
Evenescence and Nightwish both started about the same time, Evanescence being just a little bit older as they were founded 1995 while Nightwish was founded 1996. However by the time of the release of the first Evanescence album 2003 and their rise to success, Nightwish has already released four albums and had two international tours extending besides Europe to South America, Mexico and Canada.
Hi! Also wanted to point out that fact!
Nightwish Army South Germany Division
Hello Debbie ...Our Boss, Commander-in-Chief and General of the Nightwish Army Gabriel Bardac has already told you the most important things.
It only remains for me to say a warm welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and at the same time welcome as a new recruit to the ranks of the Nightwish Army.
You've just seen and heard her, who is named by her fans worldwide in the sum of her honorifics in hundreds of React videos:
This is Our Majesty Floor Jansen, First of her Name, Goddess of the Valkyrs, Highly Queen of the Vikings, THE Lady of Nightwish, the House Band of the Gods of Asgard, Chosen Ones of Odin ,Protector of our Metal Realm
Long may she reign
She raises her hand and commands an 80k+ crowd with her incredible presence and power. Just with a wave of her hand.
A member of the Nightwish Army once said: The old gods of Asgard sent Floor Jansen down from the heavenly heights as their gift to Nightwish. They sent them armed with a sword in one hand and a microphone in the other.
And yes, I personally believe that's how it happened.
There is nothing more to say about this
Greetings from Germany
the lady
Nightwish army Indonesia🇮🇩
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered !
Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy.
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6).
She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉.
Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the set list in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people. The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival.
We hope, that there is more coming...
