#FloorJansen #VocalCoach
Hello Nina Schofield ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This song was performed at Vizovice Masters of Rock festival 2016, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band. As you noticed, this is a ballad, and it was composed for the 1999 solar eclipse.
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, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as 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 - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen 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 (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 "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs with links with the current lineup of the band you may like. Please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and NOT as something mandatory:

And if you want to be surprised by Floor's vocals :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 th-cam.com/video/DuwY1d-KIss/w-d-xo.html
"The Poet And The Pendulum" [Wembley Arena 2015] th-cam.com/video/N4Vfy5yCy-c/w-d-xo.html - for this one (The Poet.. ) I strongly recommend you to do some research, since is a deep emotional and meaningful song, for both the band and the fans.
"The Greatest Show On Earth" [Tampere 2015] th-cam.com/video/45brzDJKZ3o/w-d-xo.html - You should leave at the end the epic masterpiece. You'll not be disappointed :)
@Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or videos from this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLexzLA11Cst1G4E0D61rAnWvnDF4zIz8M.html
Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
@Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

@ckid10: For full Nightwish concerts from all eras of the band, recorded at high A/V quality, I suggest you check out the YT Nightwish Arena channel: th-cam.com/users/NightwishArena
You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019, TV show from Netherlands, here is a playlist made by Floor herself th-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo.html
In the spring of 2021, Floor also did a cover of "Euphoria" for Beste Zangers Songfestival th-cam.com/video/FOBgrpkOIVE/w-d-xo.html
In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us from her home studio, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 9 covers there, here is the playlist th-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlinbJW0aJc2iVy5tYEhC5KL9.html
Following the success of Beste Zangers show, Floor performed a series of solo concerts in the Netherlands in early 2020 with songs from her entire career (After Forever, Revamp, Northward, Nightwish, Beste Zangers) following that the last and the largest concert, at AFAS Amsterdam, to be professionally recorded and broadcast online, with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. After several rescheduling, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the concert took place at the beginning of September 2021 in 3 consecutive days. So far the first 17 songs from the concert plus the backstage documentary have been posted online, here is the playlist th-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlilDPohfKzmFC_wdTOllD3jh.html
On March 25th Floor Jansen released her first solo song, "Fire" th-cam.com/video/Utz4gFG3HF8/w-d-xo.html and recently (on May 27th) she added her 2nd one, "Storm" th-cam.com/video/aGqJksbbUoY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe

👍👍
Gabriel Hellfest 2022 should be in consideration for adding to the list
Plse follow Gabriel's advise for more diverse Nightwish songs. In fact they have only 2 songs. 1: i did not expect this, and 2: that is my new favorite song.
That is so true for many who are new to Nightwish 🙂
Wait, these aren't two songs! It's one song in two parts!🙃😉😁
👋🇮🇹🖖
Haha 😂, well said 👍
perfect description!
Haha Very true!
Not the typical song a reactor chooses to do as a first song of Nightwish. But you'll fall down the Nightwish rabbit hole soon enough.
And thinking this is only the tip of the ice berg of Floor's vocal capabilities... You are so right! :-)
Can’t wait to see what else they have to offer ☺️
@@ninaschofield You will be surpriced, because every song is very different, they can play for example trash Metal, symphonic Metal, ballads, celtic, jazz etc. Just go with the links Gabriel Bardac gave you for a start
@@ninaschofield There's no way to set you up properly for how versatile this singer is, but here's 20 seconds or so to contrast with the lyrical performance you just reacted to. Enjoy 😉 th-cam.com/video/FYZqPsGajqY/w-d-xo.html
A very professional analysis never mind a reaction. Floor is known to sing very clearly no matter the genre. This song is better visually at the Tampere performance where they focus much more on Floor at the right times. I think your next song MUST be the “obligatory” Ghost Love Score from the Wacken 2013 show. It’s the world’s most reacted song on TH-cam and transcends most listeners no matter there preference in music genre
Based on how you reacted to this, you will have lot of fun exploring this band. Tuomas (keyboards) is special talent as a composer. Fans call him Metal Mozart. Nightwish is without any shadow of a doubt one of the most talented bands ever.
Lucky Nina, she discovered the most versatile female singer of our time….the amazing Floor Jansen of Nightwish
Floor Jansen is called the vocal godess, the Valkyrie; you have really just heard the tip of the iceberg...
You should start with their signature song 'Ghost Love Score' to get a better listen on what Nightwish with Floor are capable of and then just follow the list of Gabriel; will be interesting to hear your thoughts... 🐺🤘
Nighwish Army Germany / Bavaria
You forgot Titaness of Music.
Thank you. You find The Band. Nightwish songs will surprise you many times. Talent and twenty years hard work and you are what Floor Jansen is today. Check out Nightwish "Devil and Deep Dark Ocean" -Buenos Aires live. There you will find something more to react. Greetings from Finland.
Great reaction, and subscribed for more. Don't think I've ever seen someone start off with _Sleeping Sun_ - tip of the iceberg is right!
Can’t wait to watch more!
@@ninaschofield Nightwish Army - Midwestern U.S. division checking in from the Straits of Mackinac/Mackinac Island
Oh, Sweet Nina, we'll hold you to that 😉 (watching more)...IDK if you've realized how much your life has just changed for the better.
I hope Sir Gabriel's welcome message comes through along with the list of the best links, but I'll add one more vote for the 2013 Wacken version of Ghost Love Score (Official Live) as a great starting point for this fantastic band!
@@bloodybutunbowed291 Yes you are right. This is the song to start with. And everything else will simply amaze the blogger. She had never heard such a thing in her life. Of all the live concerts, I only listen to them. But on stage, they have no equal. And need to know every song. Thomas is truly the Bach of our time!
Да, ты прав. Это песня, с которой стоит начать. А все остальное просто поразит блогера. Она никогда не слышала ничего подобного в своей жизни. Из всех живых концертов я слушаю только их. Но на сцене им нет равных. И нужно знать каждую песню. Томас действительно Бах нашего времени!
subscribed, waiting for news on the group))
Not even on the iceberg yet !
Hello Nina.
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.
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.
Hi Nina. Really enjoyed your reaction. Nightwish's music is well worth exploring as it is very diverse, none of their songs are alike. There are epic and melodic songs, but they can also go really heavy on you and the next song could be very celtic sounding or even jazzy. You're right stating that you've only scratched the surface of what they can do. Floor Jansen, a vocal coach herself, can sing with an operatic approach, pop, rock and even grunting. She's a master at conveying emotion with her voice and her stage presence is unmistakable. The musicianship of the whole band is impressive. Their music is exceptionally well composed and arranged. The lyrics are very powerful and poetic, which leads to great storytelling.
Maybe the song 'Dead Boy's Poem' (live in Buenos Aires 2018) is a nice one to check out next. It's a beautiful song, which doesn't get too heavy, so you can ease into this kind of music. th-cam.com/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/w-d-xo.html
For more suggestions, take a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon). He'll provide you with a long list with song suggestions. Enjoy! Greetings from the Netherlands.
Dead boys poem...I concur.👍
All true, but even though I 'd love to see Nina react to Dead Boy;s Poem, I think she should continue with something a bit heavier (like "Song of Myself") since she already started off with such a mellow song. (links provided by Gabriel)
Martine....! Martine....! Martine....! so what, im an Fanboy, well Fangrandpa of this Lady!, i Cheer as long as my Inhalator let me:)
I Concur Dead Boys Poem, as far as the Lady read herself into the Meaning of the Lyrics in Front- or not, She seems to comprehend Things very fast...so.....ok....DBP concured.,...Martine! ....Martine!.-....

Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division saying Welcome , They had 3 singers 1. Tarja Turnunen 1996 - 2005 , Anette Olzon 2007- 1012, Floor Jansen 2012 - current . May I suggest there song "Ghost Love Score" this is a masterpiece that features Floor's versatility . - th-cam.com/video/47e_961OQWE/w-d-xo.html. this is at the Wacken festival in 2013 in front of 82K
Great Reaction , i hope you continue on this journey with Nightwish.......rarely see a reactor start with " Sleeping Sun" beautiful Song but a fairly simple song for Floor ....you hit it on the head with the tip of the iceberg comment ......Floor can do ANYTHING vocally from classical to growling and EVERYTHING in between as you will hear , truly one of the best and most versatile vocalist on the planet .
Subbed and Liked 👍
Thank you Nina for the reaction. Many vocal coaches tend to focus almost totally on the vocals, (understandably yes, but still), disrecarding the band, composition, arrangement. But you are a vocal coach AND a musician - and it shows. 👍👍
I hope you continue reacting to Nightwish. What you just heard was much less than the top of an iceberg of what Nightwish can do.
Greetings from Finland!
Hey Risto! Long time no 'see'. How are you doing?
Oh wow, Nina. I can’t believe you are only now discovering Nightwish and Floor Jansen! I have been following you for a while now mostly due to your Aurora reactions and you are one of my favorite reactors. I’m so excited to follow you on your Nightwish journey - this is going to be SO much fun!
So sweet reaction. Thank you so much. Thank you also for sharing your knowledge :)
You’re welcome thank you for watching ☺️
Hello Nina Schofield. You will have a lot of fun with Nightwish in terms of vocals, lyrics, composition and energy. I have never had a "favorite band" in my 43 years. Then I heard Ghost Love Score by Nightwish for the first time (that must be about 15 years ago now.) That group just blows you away. I hope you listen to more songs in the future.
I'm a Nightwish fan and I'm happy about professional reactions like yours! Hope you do more about Nightwish,
they are some of the best that is currently in the music world and will bring you a lot of joy and amazement!
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on her. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites:
Energize me: th-cam.com/video/fjm4BrNAf6s/w-d-xo.html
Monolith of Doubt: th-cam.com/video/3TmKHkQx45U/w-d-xo.html
Dreamflight: th-cam.com/video/73-_F9prx4I/w-d-xo.html
Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). Here is a link to a part of a TV show (with english subtitles) of the reunion of the class of the Rock Academy with mostly backstage footage of the Tampere concert of Nightwish in 2015: th-cam.com/video/B3NIfu0qvtg/w-d-xo.html
'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song. Here are some examples:
Misery’s no Crime: th-cam.com/video/SNPesLFTnUg/w-d-xo.html
Disdain: th-cam.com/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/w-d-xo.html
Wild card: th-cam.com/video/GpZMFALYeGc/w-d-xo.html
Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: th-cam.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/w-d-xo.html
Floor joined Nightwish after the iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see:: th-cam.com/video/bAiPeSsqD-4/w-d-xo.html
A suggestion to a christmas song sung by Floor. Here is a link to a performance in Finland with a special guest with the best seat you could imagine: th-cam.com/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/w-d-xo.html
Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on TH-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa:, th-cam.com/video/QqdvFPBGN0c/w-d-xo.html
and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini: th-cam.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/w-d-xo.html
As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered TH-cam in the last year. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish:. th-cam.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/w-d-xo.html
Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of the presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughter Freja (just turned 5 years), a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.
Nina Schofield: What else can they do?
Nightwish: Yes!
Floor Jansen is a beast in the vocals... you would like to hear Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013. It's a masterpiece that deserves to be watched.
"Tip of the Iceberg" LOL! I love it when people don't know yet!
The best thing to do is choose from Gabriel’s list…it’s a collection of the best live performances in regards to sound and picture quality,correct speed and stage show and from the best live concerts as well.It’s a wide ranging list to choose from so if you stick to these versions you won’t be disappointed.
You are in for a treat thats for sure. Welcom to the amazing world of Nightwish a jawdropping band from Finland with this amazing singer Floor Jansen fronting the band. She is the Queen of metall. Thanks for sharing.
Vocals are controlled with great feeling.
You need to do Ghost love score by Nightwish live at Wacken 2013..There will be others along soon to suggest the same..
Nightwish are well worth exploring ... the fact that you've reacted to one of their songs means the army will descend upon you
Sleeping Sun: written in 1999 for the total solar eclipse of 11th August that year.
History: Floor Jansen is the 3rd vocalist, replacing Anette Olzon, who replaced Tarja Turunen.
NWArmy here, welcome and enjoy your ride into this amazing band!! Grretings from Greece.💯👍
“Tip of the Ice” YES. In between Gabriel’s list look up the very short video Floor Jansen 15 second F5.
Yep, tip of the iceberg...great performance but 'Sleeping Sun' is just a relaxing walk in the park for Floor and the band!
Gabriel's list is good start to Nightwish, but use your creativity and add something from Human::Nature album to it. Concentrate to live stuff. All Nightwish stuff is different but still has Tuomas'es signature (the keyboard player is the resident genius/wizard).
You need to see more ! Watch ☆GHOST LOVE SCORE☆
Look at the audience they are right with her!!
Nightwish ,,Ghost love score,, live Wacken 2013 . Love this reaction .
Having watched your reactions/analysis for a number of years now, I think this was the perfect introduction for you to Nightwish and Floor's solo work.
I really enjoyed the different pieces of the piece you highlighted throughout.
Everything you noticed & commented on Floor’s voice - the answer is “Yes”!
Floor’s vocal talents, Tuomas (keyboard player, composer of all music & all lyrics, founder of Nightwish), every band member is a talented musician. An awesome combination that has a song for any mood, any emotion.
Follow “The List” and you’ll love the discovery experience!
Yes, you are a long way from the growler under the surface. There is so much this valkyrie queen can do with her voice you have to hear it to believe. You will love the journey you are embracing and we the Nightwish army will be there to guide you.
Tip of the iceberg might be appropriate for the Titanic but this is Floor Jansen we are talking about. What is about to hit you makes an iceberg seem so so trivial!
'Ghost Love Score', 'Storytime', 'Everdream', All of these songs from the 2013 Wacken live concert; Your fan base will love it.
We who love Aurora also love Nightwish, The Warning, Rammstein, Sigrid & Sabaton 😎😈🤗❤️
Ghost Love Score from the same concert. Floor shows what she can do in a wide range of vocal styles and techniques over a 10 minute rollercoaster of a song.
Hi Nina, great reaction and analysis. Always nice to see a professional at work. I would be thrilled if you explored more of this rabbit hole, lots of wonders await you! Next recommendation would be the "standard" introduction to Nightwish and Floor: "Ghost Love Score" live from Wacken 2013. A little bit more metal in it, but still quite soft overall. Awesome showcase of Floors vocal abilities (though by no means a complete one).
Tip of the iceberg about sums up one song with Floor.
There is nothing she can't sing, no genre or style or language she can't do (well not that anyone has discovered yet)
After many videos of her with Nightwish, solo, Best Zangers TV show and her own youtube channel covering every genre from folk, jazz, rock, pop, metal and thrash she's a genre to herself.
Prepare for the rabbit hole... I hope you bring snacks because it's a long and crazy ride :)
I really enjoyed your video!
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish!
The March has begun. Welcome to the Nightwish Army, NYC chapter. 🤘🏼
Thank you. Very nice reaction and informative analysis. Looking forward seeing much more Nightwish and Floor Jansen on your channel. 😊
Ive followed Nightwish for so many years now. Watching people's reaction to hearing them for the first time never gets old. The comment that I usually make is something along the lines of "that's what music is supposed to do to you when you hear it" . Over the hills and far away and Send me an Angel are two others you should listen to.
Greetings Nina Schofield! Nightwish Army USA, Nebraska division checking in. I have enjoyed watching your reaction to Nightwish and our Goddess Floor. This is just the beginning of a magical journey for you. I look forward to seeing more Nightwish reactions from you. Follow the wealth of information that Gabriel left for you and you will not go wrong.
Hello Nina. Welcome to the Nightwish family. That was our Queen Floor. You will find out that every Nightwish song is a new experience. I have subscribed and can’t wait to see you embark on this journey called Nightwish. Greetings from Alabama 😎
Nightwish Army UK popping in for a great reaction.
Nightwish is the most beautiful and magical musical journey in the universe. I couldn´t recommend them more... I really enjoyed your reaction :D I think you are going to be a little taken aback by the incredible compositions of this amazing band.
Nightwish hell yea, subscribed! Awesome reaction! Greets from Finland!
Hi Nina, beautiful reaction, our General Gabriel gave you the instructions, believe it is worth listening to
Floor Jansen is all that and than some.👍👍 Greetings from The Netherlands.😍😍
Follow Nightwish and you will be in for a treat. Welcome to the wonderful World of Nightwish.
Nina. Floor Jansen can sing Heavy metal, Aria Opera, Pop, Rock, Death Metal. She can sing in 8 languages: English, Dutch, Finnish, Italian, German, Spanish, Swedish, Latin. She is a Vocal Coach. She is the 3th Nightwish Singer, Tarja Turunen was the first and Anette Olzon was the second one. Nigthwish is a fenomenal band with fenomenal musicians. You should keep react to more videos by them. Welcome.🧡🤘
ui, I feel that a new journey FOR YOU starts here :D welcome to the world of Nightwish :) just heard this song last Saturday from Nightwish live at the Festival de Nimes in France
I love it that you got to react to this one first and not (one of) the more common one(s). I really look forward to your thoughts when you hear more! 😄
we are here...we are everywhere ...nightwish army🤟
I love a new reactor getting pulled into the rabbit hole! Especially a vocal coach. You will soon come to realise how special Floor really is. Gabriel’s list is the way to go, but Floor also has her own channel with some very special performances there too. I am already looking forward to the next reaction!
Really enjoyed this analysis/reaction, Everything regarding Nightwish songs is about details and movement, this is not just music, it is compositions. And a lot of emotions, Tuomas (keyboardist) is the master mind behind 95%of the songs, he is also called Metal Mozart.
Well an then the singer, Floor (in this video) is an amazing singer and a captivating performer doing all from operatic to growl, and magnificent belting.
You might be new to rock/metal but you are in for a musical journey of your life if you continue with Nightwish. You will get a lot of suggestions as you continue.
Looking forward to the next one already 😃
Excellent reaction! Very perceptive interpretations! This wonderful rabbit hole will get as deep as you let it. Enjoy the journey! More, please!
Nightwish has great musicians - a special you have already recognized it’s their lead singer Floor. The lyrics of their songs are very deep and perfectly performed…
Hopefully you will do a lot more of this fantastic band 😎👍🏆
Yeah, they are capable of anything you can think of and beyond! Happy exploring!
this dutch warrior princess can take you trough all the emotions with her voice, even in one song if she wants to.and all live
Nina, the journey has just started. What to listen to? More Nightwish (Wacken 2013, Tampere 2015, Buenos Aires 2018), Floor in "Beste Zangers" 2019 and in "Sing meinen Song" 2022, Floor with Epica, Floor with Ayreon/Star One (a universe in itself..), Floor in her first band, legendary After Forever, Floor in her second band, glorious ReVamp, Floor in Northward, Floor live at AFAS Amsterdam solo 2021, Floor at home doing covers, Floor's first solo singles after 25yrs in metal, Floor singing the phonebook..
Especially the last one. They say, someone could sing the phone book and make it sound good. To my knowledge, Floor is the only one who went on and proved it.
I saw Nightwish a few weeks ago at a small venue in NYC and it was simply mesmerizing. This song is about 10% of what she/they can do LOL. Wait till you hear her operatic stuff! I'll leave it to the diehards for the suggestions. I love it all, although make sure you always do the live versions ;) 'The Greatest Show on Earth' and 'Shoemaker' are my favorites live. Thank you and hope you're well!
Nina, nice reaction, thank you. Your comments were spot on. " the tip of thr iceberg of what she can do" and " I wonder what else they can do ". LOL...You about to find out when the Nightwish Army ( global fan base ) drops in with greetings and requests. Welcome to the NW community, enjoy your journey. Look forward to your next NW reaction. Be well. BTW she's an Empath, every lyric and note travels through her heart and soul.
Sleeping sun.... My alarm clock for the last 17 years. A bit unorthodox but it wakes me up so sweet ❤️
Amazing band! Greetings from Finland🇫🇮🌞!
Not usually the song to introduce people to Nightwish. Recommend Ghost Love Score.
Nice, I really liked this reaction. Like how you break the melodies and everything. Hoping to see more NW reactions from you. Subscribed....
you met Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive).
Floor Jansen is without a doubt the most wonderful vocalist I've ever heard in my 58 years here.
I've watched all your Taylor Swift reactions as I adore her now and always will...........but,........
Floor is the emotional deathstar. When she trains her vocals on you, the emotions will just explode
outwards usually with no way for you to keep them restrained.
Keep going, you'll see!
Nightwish is one of my favourite band of all time. Thank you for enlightening me with all the vocal techniques and I love them even more.
what else can they do? everything.
I love these reactions by someone who can actually break down the song and analyze the various parts. The fact that Nina can immediately replicate what is being played on the keyboard is amazing and shows a deep understanding of music.
It’s always fun to see vocal coaches especially that have No idea what they are stumbling into with Floor & Nightwish, in a genre they clearly say they aren’t into. Floor can do everything, will take you on a ride, most never get off. She is the complete package of stage presence, close to perfect notes, held to unbelievable lengths. This song, written by Tuomas Holopainen, the Keyboardist, is dedicated to the solar eclipse that arose in the European sky in 1999. It has been used in several sinking ships movies, & videos ever sense. Think the movie was Britannic.
Great reaction
Greetings from 🇳🇱 🤘
"I feel like we're at the tip of the iceberg with what she can do with her voice." /me giggles
OMG please please do more Nightwish songssss!!!! Loved it !!!
I highly recommend you react to"Ghost Love Score" from their appearance at the Wacken Music Festival in 2013. It will show you a lot more of the Iceburg.
I'm looking forward to seeing you react to more Nightwish now you have just heard one of the best singers on the planet... new sub for that.... enjoy
We as Nightwish fans love all members of NW - and especially Floor. You can check out Floor Solo (beste Zangers or live Amsterdam) or many other songs (Alone, Frozen, Ave Maria, or Duets wi8th Epica (Sancta Terra, etc) - Floor is one of the very best vocalist of our time. Similar in her abilities (versatile, power, Stage presence, crowd interaction, etc) to Freddy from Queen.
Nina 👌 I am so grateful that i finally find a Master who analyses what We (Nightwiish Army) are listening .Kiitos
Great analysis, Nina. And may I just say that you have the most perfect smile!
Oh Nina how I love Emppu and Markos guitar tones, Kai's drum beat, Tuomas' keyboard orchestration and then, that voice, oh that voice. 🙏😊👍❤️
"I feel like we're just touching the tip of the iceberg" truer words were never spoken!
Just a note to all vocal reactors. DO NOT press pause when Emppu starts a solo. You know who you are...
Please please please react to more NW Nina. Great knowledgeable reaction❤. You certainly know your stuff. You're right about it being the tip of the iceberg as far as Floor's voice is concerned, but that goes for the whole band. They're incredible, and on top of that, always look like they're having a great time performing.
I could recommend many songs, but, tbh, they're ALL epic...😁
Nightwish is ALWAYS ALL ABOUT THE LYRICS.... But bended in GENIUS amounts of composition and EXTRAORDINARY amounts of talent from ALL band members !!! You simply cannot go wrong with Nightwish !!!! Hugs from Romania !!!

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 5 octaves (Eb2 to F5)
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.
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. 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 as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
We hope, that there is more coming.
🤘😎🤘.
@Nina Schofield - Did anyone mention that this is a VERY intricate and vast Rabbit Hole you have just entered. Take note of (General) Gabriel's suggestions. He WILL be along soon if not already. General of the Nightwish Army. Promise you the Nightwish Army are really nice people :) You will also find many are also Aurora Warriors & Weirdos. So much to listen and learn from the amazing Floor Jansen. Talking about her clarity of diction in this song, you would hardly guess she is Dutch, and can sing in many many languages just as clearly. She also has such an amazing stage presence she can take you on a journey with each song :) Sooooo glad you finally got here as I love your videos and your insights :)
Great reaction an you're really right it's just the tip of the iceberg what she's capable of. So react to more!
Awesome reaction and analysis. Please analyze Ghost love score by Nightwish live at Wacken 2013
Oh shit. We have another reactor who can just listen a little, pick up and play. I'm thinking that's definitely SUB worthy!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish,
where have you been?
Like your appreciation of the tonal colours and changes,
there is a lot more to discover, yes, this is like a tip of an iceberg :)
"General" Gabriel has a curated list...
Check out "ever dream" or "storytime" the next time. 😎
Exelent song evenif the Tampere version is if possible even better. Floor is just bloody fantastic, she is the viking queen of metal, nobody can sing like her
One of my favorits is Storytime, even if it kinda straight forward rock song,
