Thank you so much for all the love on my first Nightwish reaction video. Also HUGE thank you to all of you who stopped on my Voice Coach Reacts Monday Live (starts at 6pm CET), we had SO MUCH FUN!! All the rest is warmly invited every week for this live show! find me here: www.twitch.tv/katriinka p.s. also a huge secret thank you to all who checked my music and my covers, you are awesome and thank you for your kind words!
corretr me if I am wrong but you have a jawline similar to Floor, you can or could or can learn to use that to your advantage and command your voice like hers
TH-cams "Vocal Coach reacts to my favorite band/vocalist" .... Hmmm... seen it, seen it...seen it...* 10 pages later * pff...seen it....wait...who's this? This i haven't seen...
@@MV19 Amy Lee yeah yeah right....Cristina scabbia she has a good voice but does not reach Floor´S tone. Tarja Tarja stayed in the past and was outdone a while ago. Of all the singers she mentioned in her comment, only Simone Simons gets a little closer to her, but her band doesn't accompany her as much as the talented Nightwish do, who manage to further highlight the great voice of Jansen. May your fanaticism not cloud your coherence
I've been a musician for almost 20 years now. There is one thing that I always notice if someone is a proper voice teacher or not, and that's when listening to this particular piece. Floor has such unique technique of using chest and head voice, as well as blending them and switching between them effortlessly. That's why she's one of the most versatile and best live singers today. I also loved your reaction. You're spot on. And welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. Army will probably encumber you with requests, but that's only because Nightwish fans are very passionate people.
Only in Finland do most people know Nightwish. Before Beste Zangers, basically no one in the Netherlands knew who Floor Jansen was. All these reaction videos have been a delight, but metal is and remains a marginal genre. Never forget how ignorant normies usually are.
@@Distorted80 I don't think that "ignorant" is the right word to describe what you call "normies". In fact, as an American who had never heard of Nightwish until a few months ago, I find that offensive. The U.S. Corporate world keeps bands like Nightwish from being mainstream by refusing to give them air time. They would rather sell the masses their canned version of music, which THEY control. So, the internet, and specifically these Reaction Channels is how MANY if not MOST Americans find bands like Nightwish. Every country has their own forms of restrictions on the flow of information. The U.S. is no different. Stay Safe, Friend.....be Blessed......🕊❤ Sincerely, 🌟💫💛
@@Distorted80 Ignorance about metal is mainly due to disinformation spread by metal "elitists" trying to keep 'normal' people from listening to metal. In the US, elitists intentionally reinforce the stereotype of metal as "devil's music" to keep people away. If I tell people that Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band, the image they're conditioned to associate with metal is a Black Metal band in face paint with black spiky leather outfits and blood running out of the corners of their mouths as they scream at the top of their lungs while blasting noise at 150 decibels. Floor hitting the D6 at the end of GLS would never be considered a possibility in the genre.
Every singer have limits. And next to them stays Floor, smiling. :D Because seriously - 8 years with NW, and she always come with something new and harder to do, almost impossible to do again and again and again. And sounds so relaxed like she still didn't reach those limits of hers. Not nearly. Songs after Tarja, songs after Anette, her old bands After Forever and Revamp, work with Ayreon, her time at Beste Zangers, and omg last NW album harder to sing then anything before... And so many other songs around she featuder in. Growls, Opera, Hard rock, Power metal, Pop, Slow ballads, and list goes on. In several languages. Ufffffff.........
So today is my first time listening to this band. 2 hours, probably 20 "reacts" videos, 5 performance videos and the studio version later and I could still do another several hours on just this song. I'm absolutely awestruck. What a voice and this react video is just spot on. How can anyone watch this and not be moved I don't know.
Alright, time to give you a little background about Floor. She started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She also studied musical theatre and a year of opera. Floor has been a vocal coach herself since 2003. She's a soprano. In my opinion, the thing that makes her stand out from other singers in this genre is her versatility. She can sing opera, belt, growl. Here are some links to some of her performances: th-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/w-d-xo.html (operatic vocals) th-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/w-d-xo.html (growling) th-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/w-d-xo.html (amazing belting) th-cam.com/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/w-d-xo.html (OUT OF THIS WORLD BELTING) th-cam.com/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/w-d-xo.html (operatic vocals, also the song is in German)
The nice thing for a vocal coach reacting to any of Floor's performances at the Wacken 2013, the Wembley & Tampere 2015 or Buenos Aires 2019, is that she uses numerous vocal styles, techniques, range, syncopation, etc. so there is plenty to analyse.
I think it's not that she's better, she's showing us more of what she can do in the new album, my question is... is that even her limit or she can sing even better? Like this girl said, every singer has his limits, but so far i didn't hear Floor's limit, is insane.
@@CrisHermetica I agree she is not better, Wacken 2013 has some pretty spectacular stuff. In the new album she mainly showcases how she handles fast staccato notes and displays her operatic voice again for those who thought Tuomas had turned a tiger into a meek kitten.
BTW Floor does have some (very few) limitations, she doesn't have Mariah Carey's range or agility but then again she has way more power than Mariah (agility and power are usually mutually exclusive).
Ah, a new term for Floor, “Dark Angel”. I hadn’t heard that one before. Usually it’s warrior, princess, Xena, goddess and Valkyrie. All equally apply. I love vocal coach reactions. Hope you do more Nightwish. Wacken 2013 songs are all great with excellent audio and video. Live Nightwish is always best. 😄🤘
Watching people getting a Floorgasm over this has become everyone's hobby. What makes you different than most is not interrupting the crescendo, but instead rocking it out like a total fangirl until the end and only THEN comment. You're amazing like that :)
Very good point, Katriinka. Most singers sing what they can, what they're comfortable singing. Floor ... sings what the song needs. I've heard her sing Dutch, English, Spanish, Latin, Finnish, German ... I've heard her sing metal, rock, pop, classical, smooth jazz and country ... She might not be the greatest in any one of those styles, but to me there's nobody who can do all of them on even nearly the same level as Floor.
Great analysis about how Floor uses her technical skills. It's maybe her best asset as a singer. She uses her capabilities to convey emotions and she can very eloquently search our heart and soul by choosing her tones intelligently. And the stunning amazonian figure is a great advantage to her too. Her stage presence is commanding but at the same time very likable and inviting, not at all scary or spooky. Ha ha, I'm so fanboy (but not the only one here). Thank you and greetings from Finland!
the US is super closed for this kind of music :/ here in the other side of the continent (chile) we've known NW from the 90s! :D but of course, their music never makes it to mainstream radios, only rock stations :/
@@AngelesBustamanteM A few of us in the US have known about Nightwish since the 90's. It's just that the only place that showcased the band's music was a store called Hot Topic. Which when it started out was pretty diverse in the music they carried. It has since lost it's teeth and become just like any other mall store sadly. They don't even carry music anymore. Just band merchandise.
@@AngelesBustamanteM It's not that all. Being "closed-minded" has nothing to do with it. It's just that the interest in Rock itself is pretty low overall in the US. Rock isn't as popular as it once was here in the US, or as popular as it is currently outside the US. In the US, Country still is #1 and the rest of the market is mostly taken by POP and R&B. There's still Rock fans here and there are Nightwish fans here in the US, it's just not as concentrated as they are overseas. I've seen them play 7 times to sold out shows.
@@AngelesBustamanteM Hardly, I've been listening to symphonic metal since the 90's. It's just metal mostly died off in the US after the 80's and moved on to rock and alt rock then pop and such... You have to remember techno also supposedly died here with the 90's and came back in the mid 2000's yet I was also listening to it through the 90's and even had a good laugh when rap artists and the like in the late 90's started using it and yet people were saying techno is dead. It wasn't till around 2005 that the internet started to become more available to the masses and music began to spread globally once more.
American metal fans are weird... there are tons of great metal bands and great tours that roll through your country and y'all want to act like it's a crazy niche scene like it was back in the 80s...
(Floor hitting the iconic note from GLS) Katriinka: "that's insane". Oh no no no, the insane part it's the 8 seconds D6 from Phantom of the Opera at Beste Zangers. That's insane.
jose jesus contreras salazar isn’t part of that playback? I mean no disrespect, but it sounds like a backing track comes on, or they bungled up the editing.
jose jesus contreras salazar I hope you’re right! The note is usually playback in the actual show, since it’s hard to not have the note be harmful if you do it often, and especially that long. In the episode, it also sounds like playback comes on halfway through, but it might just be the editing
@@tetrisgoat Other singers may use playback. But do you realize who are we talking about? This is Floor, she is just so good that she maybe makes it sound like playback. You can trust me she sings live every fucking time.
I can't imagine it being play backed in this show. In the same episode one of the singers forgets his lyrics and just improvises (Cosa della vita by Tim Akkerman and Samantha Steenwijk). Also, the other participants are mentioning it being pretty intense sitting so close to the stage when Floor is singing.
Nightwish Army is of course here! ;) Well, I can only say that I agree with every word being said. I don't know what else to add... Maybe only some details that may be interesting to you: for example, this particular show was Floor's first big gig with NW (82K people in the audience), and at the time she was not an official member of the band yet, she was replacing Anette Olzon who left the band in the middle of this (Imaginaerum) world tour. This song was played on a 1hr 10min mark of the concert. Maybe you already know, but Floor used to be a vocal coach for a number of years, and has classical training as well) If I start recommending Floor's performances here, the list will be quite long, so I'll try to shorten it a little: Beautiful acoustic: How's The Heart ( th-cam.com/video/yYtkPpFYzOo/w-d-xo.html ) Classic opera: Puccini: O mio babbino caro ( th-cam.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/w-d-xo.html ) Classic duet (kinda): Phantom Of The Opera ( th-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/w-d-xo.html ) Soft pop: Shallow ( th-cam.com/video/M68pe4a_9zk/w-d-xo.html ) Touching, emotional: De Beelden Blijven (A Song for War Child) ( th-cam.com/video/e6-6NVsbg6U/w-d-xo.html ) Growling: In Nightwish ( Yours Is An Empty Hope th-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/w-d-xo.html ), in ReVamp ( Wild Card th-cam.com/video/GpZMFALYeGc/w-d-xo.htmlm51s ) Latin: Qué Se Siente ( th-cam.com/video/DfYeLUoqw0E/w-d-xo.html ) Thank you for your reaction and analysis! Greetings from Moscow and stay safe! ;)
Now this was really a great reaction. Not my last one i watched. Prepare yourself Nightwish army is incoming with more information and tons of recommendations.
Thank you for not interrupting this amazing performance and instead, going back to pick out the moments you regarded as of special mention afterwards. This performance is all the more outstanding once you know that this was a setlist that she had no part in creating and not one of the songs was written for her (although she had changed the way the end of this song is performed) - in fact, she hadn't even been confirmed as the permanent lead female vocalist at that stage - See the documentary "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" for the full story of that tour, which had begun in early 2012 with Anette Olzon, with whom they parted company (after a near cancellation after the audience was admitted in Denver on the 28th September was only saved by the singers from Kamelot, who were opening for them - Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz - frantically learning a revised setlist between them in about an hour) at the end of September, after their show on the 29th in Salt Lake City, with Floor invited to complete the tour as a stand-in. She was at her sister's wedding when the call came to her in The Netherlands, and her first show was on the 1st of October in Seattle. Floor was announced (or rather confirmed - she'd made the role her own by then) as the permanent lead vocalist and a full member of Nightwish on 9th October 2013 - this performance was on 3rd August 2013, over two months earlier. No pressure then!
It's a very interesting fact that, I also used to know/listen to Nightwish when I was (much) younger but I never liked them that much back then. I recently sorted through my CD collection and found some Nightwish albums as well which proofs that lol. But it was very recently that I stumbled upon this song here performed by Floor which cought my attention immediately! And now after re-listening many songs from Nightwish perfromed by Tarja, Anette and Floor I definetely think that Floor is the best fit for this amazing band. All three singers are great, don't get me wrong but Tarjas and Anettes style, voice and acting never touched me the way Floors did in the very first moment. I know many "old" Nightwish fans will start argueing now but for me there's no doubt about it that Floor is the one and only person who is able to perform Tuomas compositions in the way they are meant to be performed. Tarja has a beautiful operatic voice but she was focusing almost exclusivley on this style which often made me think that something was missing. Tarjas stage apperance and acting also seems not to fit some of the more powerful songs. Then came Anette, she managed to add a bit more rock feeling by using more belting and more "acting" on stage but the tonality of her voice does not fit some of the songs and she didn't had the flexibility to go through the whole vocal spectrum so some songs sounded almost boring. Finally when I listened to Floor I realized, she is the one who combines the positive aspects of Tarja and Anette without the negatives and adds her own distinct style on top. Her voice fits very well and she has perfect control in every single note and she knows exactly how to emphasize and express emotions with her voice AND her acting/movement/gestures. She might not have Tarjas great operatic voice but she can still go all classical and operatic as well but then immediately switch to a full on belting slash hammer voice that blows your mind. And on top of that just watch her apperance on stage ... every gesture, every step even every blink of her eye is spot on to the music and the story she's telling. I know, the way Nightwish sounds and performs today with Floor is not all Floors work, it's also an evolition of the whole band, it would not be fair to say that this is just because of Floor but I'm very sure that they managed to evolve together as a very strong team and as very good friends.
Welcome to your first stop of a long, surprising always awesome Nightwish journey with Floor. Here are some suggestions for your next stops: -> There are a couple of great songs from Wacken: "Storytime" and "Ever Dream" are catchy in a very positive way. "Song of Myself" starts catchy and ends with everyone headbanging. "Romanticide", "Last Ride of the Day" and "Ghostriver" are the heavier ones. -> "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" (Buenos Aires) will give you a metal and power blast: Maximum speed and Marco (the singing bass player) becomes Hannibal Lecter ;-) -> "Yours an Empty Hope" from Wembley (have a good look!! at the growls. You'll be surprised.) -> „Dead Boys Poem“ from Buenos Aires (so amazing and emotional) -> „Weak Fantasy“ (Tampere): Kai the beastat the drums, Troy joins in, great duets with Floor and Marco, ... -> "The greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere) is epic as "The Poet and the Pendulum“ (Wembley - get to know the background of this song ahead) From the new album there are for obvious reasons no live sessions so far. For all songs there are lyric videos, except "Noise". But maybe you'll give some songs a try as well. It's an awesome album. Definitely not an "easy" one with a lot of really unique songs, different from what is "typical" for Nightwish. -->"Noise" is probably the most "typical" song and the only one with "real video". The video is great as the song itself --> "Tribal" is the heaviest one and Kai, the drummer, had to change his normal setup to be able to play it. --> "Shoemaker" (about Eugene Shoemaker) is such a heavenly and epic song with the possible epic ending. --> "Music", Pan", "How's the Heart", ... are really cool songs as well. All songs are challenged Floor as singer, which is not easy to do. --> "Harvest" is so different with Troy singing, that you will wonder if you're listening to Nightwish. Just in case (which I can really recommend) you're going to do watch Floor at "Beste Zangers" make sure you take the clips of "jenniezelf" on TH-cam as she has also included the talking / interviews before and after with english subtitles. The concept of the show is, that on one day all singers sing a song for one of them. It's a song that is from that singer or a song that means a lot for him / her. So it is very interesting to get to know the story behind each song. And it will help to understand the reactions of the other singers.Floor is singing there in German, Dutch, Spanis and English. Her "Phanom of the Opera" duet with Henk Poort is legendary.
Oh my, a double delight. One beautiful woman complimenting another beautiful talented woman. Great reaction Katriinka, you had some very unique insightful comments. I enjoyed it very much. Floor has become my favorite all time singer and Nightwish is the band I would most like to see live. I look forward to you reacting to more of Nightwish and Floor.
Start to finish.. This entire concert is a treasured gift to humanity. I enjoy the subdued and sincere reactions far more than those who intentionally overemphasize for the sake of playing to their viewing audience. Somebody who also appreciates the beauty of a symphonic interlude.. a rare occurrence indeed! And.. you did very well with presenting vocabulary and diction for (what I presume) is not your native language. Glad I dropped by for a visit. Will be back for sure. You are music to my ears. :)
Awesome reaction Katrinka my screen was on fire with two goddess on it. You’ve opened up the flood gates of NW army strap in and enjoy the ride. Romanticide next plz.
Your analysis was spot on. Or as we say: lots of singers sing how they can, Floor sings how she wants. Indeed she chooses the vocal placement/technique that the song needs, at any given time during the song. She is able to switch seamlessly, whenever she wants or whenever the song requires it. She is probably the most versatile singer on the planet.
Floorgasms every time she nails that ending. She is by far my favorite female vocalist and moves me like none other. Would love to get your reactions to Romanticide, song of myself, the greatest show in earth.
Great reaction! GLS, with Floor singing is the most reacted to song, in the history of music video reactions. A bit ahead of Jinger Pisces. FYI:There were 82,000+ in the audience that night. It is the 13th of 15 songs that NW performed that night. I would recommend either 'Ever Dream' or 'Storytime'from the same concert for your next Nightwish reaction. The singer's name is Floor Jansen. She is the 3rd and still current female lead singer of Nightwish (est. 1996) She had been with the band for little over 10 months at the time of this concert on 03 August 2013. She started performing in her first Metal Band, After-Forever at the age of 16. After that band disbanded, she started her own band called Revamp. Which was on hiatus, when she received a call from Nightwish to take over the female lead singing duties mid-tour. The rest is history.
See, this is why I like your reactions so much. I don't remember a single reaction from anyone else mentioning the middle part you called the 'interlude'. When I first heard Nightwish, and this concert performance was my first exposure to them, I thought that part was wonderful!! I was sad that the orchestra, and the choir that recorded the background of this song was not present. You mentioned it, and I saw you enjoy hearing it, and that made me happy that I wasn't the only one that noticed how great that part is. I truly enjoy watching you listen to the music and the singer because I know from your face that you are really listening, and not just doing it for the views. Floor reminds me of Zena, Warrior Princess here. She's supposed to be around 6 feet tall which is really nice. It's funny I never heard of Nightwish till reaction videos started popping up to them. I grew up in the '60's and '70's with all the classic rock bands, and I think Nightwish belongs right up there with them!! Thanks for sharing this reaction, stay safe.
When Steve Harris of Iron Maiden thinks you are the best band going you know you have made it that Wacken concert is in my top three best live performances along with Loreena McKennitt "nights from the Alhambra" and Iron Maiden live in Rio 2001. Floor is special she has taken Nightwish to another place.
first, thnx for a great reaction and even i'm dutch, i have never heard of nightwish, couple of my favorites are Metallica, Dream Theatre, Within temptation till Floor was in a show that i alway watch and she was in "de beste zangers" and holy f*ck that woman can sing i looked her up and since then Nightwish is my favorite band i listen every day day in day out and there isn't a bad song every time i think ok how are they gonna top that....mmmm that feeling isn't gonna last long....till the next song to be honest, enjoy the ride of you're new Nightwish with Floor Jansen
Finally!! Your reaction to one of the most versatile voices I have ever heard is greatly appreciated. Just comment that this is the tip of the iceberg and I hope you can continue discovering and enjoying Floor. Greetings from Santiago de Chile!
Unfortunately Nightwish was almost unknown in the US until recently, these reaction videos brought them to the forefront. Thanks for the exposure from people like you to bring such a tremendous band to us.
Hi Katriinka , love the lipstick. I think I have watched most reactions of this performance by voice coaches and I applaud you for your the break down of Floor's voice , it was more in depth than most others and spot on. Look forward to more from you.
Just a tip from an audio engineer: I hear you have a Gate or expander on your microphone so that it only opens when you speak. There's also a really low frequency in the background, and you can hear it Everytime the mic opens. You can put a really simple EQ with a high pass filter at around 150 Hz to solve this
thank you so so much. I am not recording in good conditions. I have to have my setup in the only room we have and there are very high ceilings. It creates terrible sound, so I am constantly trying to make it as best as I can. Thank you for your tip
The audio is generally good enough. I wonder if the sound we hear is a resonance from your voice in the desk or stand the microphone is on. A little damping could fix it.
14:12 the Floorgasm brings yet another convert to the family !! 😁 Welcome Sister. You’re one of us now. Just FYI, that’s about 70 minutes into the show and Floor had been killin’ it the whole way already. Also, that’s 82 THOUSAND people hanging on her every word; so, no pressure on her to Bury that (9 second long)high note.... At 6’1 and 170 pounds Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie; and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again. I love watching these reaction videos and my biggest hope is that people follow and enjoy the Symphonic Metal path I was led to.

Super nice reaction of you, and excellent analysis of Floor's techniques, power and ability to switch between the techniques. Please more of Nightwish with Floor - but I am sure you didn't find Floor's limits. On their new album, she was challenged for the first time in Shoemaker - getting the right feeling at the end - but she solved it, at home in her own studio, and now it's on the album. Great reaction and do enjoy the Nightwish adventure together with the Nightwish Army 👍🤘🤘
Very nice reaction! Enjoyed! Waiting more Nightwish and/or Floor... :) Maybe Floor´s songs from Dutch TV show "Beste Zangers" season 2019 where Floor was also. Her first song there was "Vilja Lied" in German. And she sing it to Dutch opera singer Henk Poort. And one extra thing, look other singers who are sitting there, for them Floor was tattooed metal vocalist and her song was really surprise to them as well Dutch people in their homes looking this show!
Great reaction. You describes exactly what Floor is doing every time in all songs she performs: Choosing the type of Technic she needs to express the emotion of the particular part of that song. What made it even more unique: she does it live and was not on stage as a full band member, but still as a guest singer. Although she was on World Tour with NW since late 2012, she was still the stand-in for Anette at Wacken Open Air festival 2013. - "it is not ALMOST a classical interlude." It is classic!! Nightwish is supported by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Most reactors tend to skip the part where the interlude plays. You didn't & you knew it was the part of the song. Thank you for your unfiltered reaction. Loved it. 😊🖤
thank you so much. and I really meant it. the interlude and one more part was copy claimable. and I let it slip. it was too precious. I only make money off content creation now, working really hard, but. I literally couldnt. it was too precious
You did it!!! I'm so glad for it, thank you so much. You look so fantastic and day after day I understand more about de head, chest or mix voice. Thanks a lot
Great reaction. Floor is an empath, able to project emotion with her voice, but watch her hands. I'm mesmerized by them when she sings. I hope to see you doing more from this band. Until then, keep on Nightwishing on. 🤘😜🤘 Subscribed and dinged.
Hi. You haven't heard anything yet from our Valkyrie. She's amazing and Beautiful inside and out. She's been with the band 10 months at this concert. She was still suffering a little bit from her burnout. She's been singing professionally since she was 16 and now she just turned 39 in Feb
@@machintelligence Except for Poet and The Pendulum. People have received strikes for that particular song and some videos have even been pulled. I'm wondering if it might be a choice made by Tuomas. That particular song is in his past now. I think there may also be an element of saving that particular song for Nightwish alone. Which is fine, because we can still find their TPATP here on TH-cam and listen to our hearts content. Stay Safe and Be Blessed......🕊❤
@@cinderellsworth I heard that Poet and the Pendulum copyright issues is not because Nightwish, but because some rapper used the "white lands of emphatica" in his song and his music label is claiming the copyright
@@cinderellsworth I have heard that the strikes are not from Nightwish, but from a rapper who sampled a small part of the work and used it for background in one of his songs. www.whosampled.com/sample/387594/Kollegah-Mondfinsternis-(Abaz-Remix)-Nightwish-The-Poet-and-the-Pendulum/ I might be wrong, but that sample is the source of the controversy.
Really enjoyed both your reaction and your in depth analysis of the Valkyrie Goddess' singing! Hope to see more Nightwish and/or Floor reactions in the future. Subbed.
The most amazing thing about this is, At the time this was this was recorded, Floor was only a touring member and had been with the band for a few months. That ending is something she did. The original doesn’t have that
I’m a 20 year+ Nightwish Fan, I have seen 100’s of reaction/voice coach videos & yours was an absolute joy to watch your reaction, the Funtime you were having, the appreciation for Floors goddess presence & her vocal mastery. I thanked Freya for blessing the earth with you, vocal coach who actually explains what is happening with the vocals & range. Keep up the great work & that incredible smile. Much love, peace & respect. Stay safe. 🤘
HI Katriinka, How do you feel reacting and analyzing another vocal coach and singer? "Phantom Of The Opera" with Henk Poort in Beste Zangers is a great recommendation. 4:06 Saying that she is not pushing hard now is true, consider it as foreplay. A goosebump starter. 4:11 We are witnessing here a real girl crush building up. 7:14 This is a fact, Floor knows how to use her toolbox. In her first show with Nightwish, she had to learn de 15 songs in the setlist in 48 hours. 9:40 Ghost love Score is practically 2 songs in 1, an interlude is very good for the vocalist to rest her voice a little bit. Also, add suspense and a theatrical mood in the show. 12:10 this part of the song, she starts the Goddess mode. 13:56 the start of the Floorgasm as only she can do. 14:19 The Floorgasm in all your glory It was a pleasure to watch a reactor that knows what she is doing. Thank you for the video.
If you are into Wagner, she is Brünhilde. Specially in the end part (after the staccato notes), below the "burned skies" (the fire in the background lights), for me it is basically the score of the Götterdämmerung. And yes, in the classic myths some sources even say that Brünhilde. was not mortal but a Valkyrie. Anyway, since you probably get tons of superlative accolades of the Nightwish Army, let's fairly point out the negatives also: I sometimes feel Floor is a bit too controlled and technical. A good example is her version of Heart's Alone (from her After Forever times). It misses the fire and raw emotion of Ann Wilson. But as singer comparisons go, Ann Wilson is a good league to be in for a Rock Singer:-) And of course it is over ten years old.
You've fallen down the Nightwish rabbit hole, and we're here to catch you! 😉 Floorgasm achieved. 😍 Want to hear her in Beast Mode? "Yours Is An Empty Hope - live from Wembley Arena 2015". PS - that t-shirt is nice, but your smile will be enhanced by a Nightwish shirt. 👍
Great reaction and analysis! Instant sub 😄 Please do more Floor and Nightwish, there is so many layers to see and hear which you can't hear in this one. There is so much to choose from but couple good ones from same Wacken 2013 concert: Romanticide Ever Dream Storytime Ghost River Greetings from Finland!
You shouldn´t be nervous, keep being spontaneous, you made my day, watching you enjoying another human being with the same love for singing. Huge thanks!!!
Wonderful reaction. This new wave of alpha live vocalists (Dimash, Floor, and Sohyang) transition effortlessly between vocal placements based on personal expression of the music. What they do can not be presented on an album recording because one simply assumes this has been cobbled together from multiple takes/tracks with a computer... You have to see them create each color live to understand the mighty thing they have done. These three are currently the greatest live vocalists on the planet, and you're lucky if you hear any of them on the radio. Ever. Shame on the music industry and honor to these 3 true artists in a sea of fakers and technology ❤
@@kimstrom7793 I lived there for a few years and never heard them on the radio even once, just a lot of Velcra, Lab and the Pahat Pojat movie theme. But no Nightwish.
@@mattphillips2530 Well yes it depends what channel you listen to. Radio Rock plays Nightwish on a daily basis probably. But mainly only singles like Nemo, Amaranth, Elan and now also Noise.
@@mattphillips2530 Ok, well maybe it was different then. I can't remember really as I wasn't that big a fan of Nightwish back then. I've been familiar with Nightwish ever since Oceanborn was released. Lost a bit of interest during the Anette era, as thought her live vocals were a bit average. But from the day I heard Nightwish with Floor for the first time in early 2015, they quickly became my favourite band. 😄
Very interesting reaction Katriinka with new insides about the vocals for me at least. Also thanks for dressing up for this occasion ❤👀. Usually I can't take my eyes of the Valkyrie Queen when she performs, but I have to admit this time I was kinda distracted. Please more Floor Jansen / Nightwish reactions. I recommend the Beste Zangers series (Floor sings Shallow / Phantom of the Opera). For a vocal coach probably highly interesting also the new album Human Nature, with the songs Music, Shoemaker, How's the Heart. Very difficult vocals, but you can see Floor shining.
Another Nightwish army soldier infiltrating your YT channel. Awesome that you sing and on twitch too. Followed you on here and twitch. Can't wait to hear you sing live. Also, your complexion and makeup is beautiful.
Cool to see how much you enjoy nightwish and floor, floor nailing it and give you goosebumps is called a floorgasm. She is the best and most versatile singer in the world ( and most of her fellow dutchies didnt even knew that till 2019) in beste zangers 2019 she amazed all the singers on that show and the dutch people, she did it all..german,english,dutch even in spanish and she nailed it all...her cover shallow is even better than the original! the best version of phantom of the opera( sorry nightwish and tarja fans) she did with henk poort on that show..i bet evenas a vocalcoach you will be amazed......so please check that out.....you also will also love sancta terra by epica with floor also featuring( not so epic as thissong but prettygood as well)....
We used to swim the same moonlight waters Oceans away from the wakeful day My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I'll bleed forever My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I'll bleed forever Scent of the sea before the waking of the world Brings me to thee Into the blue memory My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I will bleed forever My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I will bleed forever Into the blue memory A siren from the deep came to me Sang my name my longing Still I write my songs about that dream of mine Worth everything I may ever be The Child will be born again That siren carried him to me First of them true loves Singing on the shoulders of an angel Without care for love n' loss Bring me home or leave me be My love in the dark heart of the night I have lost the path before me The one behind will lead me Bring me home or leave me be My love in the dark heart of the night I have lost the path before me The one behind will lead me Take me Cure me Kill me Bring me home Every way Every day Just another loop in the hangman's noose Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home Every way, every day I keep on watching us sleep Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve Of you and me Forgive the adoring beast Redeem me into childhood Show me myself without the shell Like the advent of May I'll be there when you say Time to never hold our love My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I'll bleed forever My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I'll bleed forever My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I'll bleed forever My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I'll bleed forever My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I'll bleed forever My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I'll bleed forever My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I'll bleed forever My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I'll bleed forever...
Great reaction and analysis! For sure not much Floor can't do vocally, it's really quite astounding! Looking forward to seeing you sing:) have a great day
That was a nice reaction especially the part where you point out how she applies emotion and expression by transitioning through various techniques and that it is all a matter of choice on what would be the best fit for the current mood of the song. I have heard many people say Floor is too technical and doesn't have any emotion because she is too concerned on hitting the notes flawlessly (usually Amy Lee fans say this), I should forward them to this reaction video!
Excellent presentation of your reaction, respect!! Always cool to see people reacting to this song, and other outstanding examples. Btw - you and Floor are in the "STUNNING" club!! ;)
I think you’d really enjoy checking out more of Floor, she’s the most versatile singer I’ve ever heard, ever. You already saw how many tools she has in her voice in this song, you mentioned how she chooses her vocal placements and tones so well to suit the song and emotions she’s expressing and that’s so true again I have a hard time thinking of a singer who does it better. But you’ve only begun to see all the tools she has at her disposal. Her live stuff with Nightwish is all amazing and she was on a show called Beste Zangers, her performances on there are all great and again showcase the versatility, she songs everything from pop to country to salsa to opera to musical theater on that show, and in particular, the musical theater, her performance of phantom of the opera with Henk Port as the phantom... it’s just so so so so good
So, if got it right, you may not be familiar with NW other new entry: Troy Donokley. He officially joined the band shortly after Floor, and he plays... uh... pretty much whatever he fancy. And he is also third voice. Have a look at *I Want my Tears Back* live in Buenos Aires 2019!
Awesome reaction Katriinka ! Thank you for opening your Nightwish reactions with my request !! I hope you do more from this concert Wacken 2013 and also try some from Wembley 2015 they are all amazing !! Thank you again !!
Loved your reaction! Floor is the mistress of making songs her own. I have never been so blown away by a band of artists in my life. Thanks for your thoughts about her voice and how complete her skills are to bring the song to such a huge crowd. I subscribed, too.
Thank you so much for all the love on my first Nightwish reaction video. Also HUGE thank you to all of you who stopped on my Voice Coach Reacts Monday Live (starts at 6pm CET), we had SO MUCH FUN!! All the rest is warmly invited every week for this live show! find me here: www.twitch.tv/katriinka
p.s. also a huge secret thank you to all who checked my music and my covers, you are awesome and thank you for your kind words!
Hey check out a Brazilian band called Tribuzy Forgotten Time live execution

corretr me if I am wrong but you have a jawline similar to Floor, you can or could or can learn to use that to your advantage and command your voice like hers
@@corneliusantonius3108 thank you haha. Sadly jawline doesnt effect the way you sing. Vocal cords, diaphragm even the way your teeth are build do. :)
@@Katriinka Thank you for your clarification. I learned something.
Wow.... You are beautiful....A Goddess
Watching like 50th vocal coach with a bright smile hearing her sing.This has become my hobby at this point,makes my day.
Agreed, it never gets old, love it
I like to see the reaction for something that I love!
TH-cams "Vocal Coach reacts to my favorite band/vocalist" .... Hmmm... seen it, seen it...seen it...* 10 pages later * pff...seen it....wait...who's this? This i haven't seen...
I only have like 120 react channels on my inscriptions... lol
Well then, there is maaany of us with the same hobby
"Every singer has their limits."
Floor, descending from Valhalla: "You meant human singers, right?"
Angels have no limits :)
@@djgnu Floor is a Dutch Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. .
Descending from Valhalla. One of the best comments ever.
Nailed it.
Very funny
Katriinka: "If she wants to, she can go way harder"
Nightwish fans: "Wait for it....Wait for it...."

In After forever she did a Heart cover of Alone.
in my over 500 concerts, 6 of which were Nightwish with Floor, I have never seen or heard a better singer
#jealous
Tarja, Sara squadrani,Simone simons,Cristina scabbia,Amy lee..........
@@MV19 None of them are better. The only one that comes in the neighbouhood is Simone Simons.
@@xXTheoLinuxXx your respectable opinion
@@MV19 Amy Lee yeah yeah right....Cristina scabbia she has a good voice but does not reach Floor´S tone. Tarja Tarja stayed in the past and was outdone a while ago. Of all the singers she mentioned in her comment, only Simone Simons gets a little closer to her, but her band doesn't accompany her as much as the talented Nightwish do, who manage to further highlight the great voice of Jansen. May your fanaticism not cloud your coherence
See Floor on the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers, where she sings a variety of music - from "Phantom Of The Opera" to "Shallow".
and do not forget "Vilja Lied"
seconded. In fact, any of her performances on this show.
Also, watch "Yours is an empty hope (LIVE)" to see another variation of where she really shines in my opinion :)
Absolutely this
and also che se siente and winner
Katriinka: Every singer has their limits.
Floor: Hold my beer.
That'll be; Floor: Hold my wine :)
@@yeruhn now that I think about it, it should be Floor: Hold my whiskey and cigar.
@@yeruhn thats right, she rarely touches beer
Most singers sing what they can due to their limits, Floor sings what she wants.
ROFL
I've been a musician for almost 20 years now. There is one thing that I always notice if someone is a proper voice teacher or not, and that's when listening to this particular piece. Floor has such unique technique of using chest and head voice, as well as blending them and switching between them effortlessly. That's why she's one of the most versatile and best live singers today. I also loved your reaction. You're spot on. And welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. Army will probably encumber you with requests, but that's only because Nightwish fans are very passionate people.
You're right: she looks like a warrior goddess, like a Valkyrie.
Indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is a Valkyrie 😁🤘
Shes even the tallest in the band. A bunch of manlets lol
Most people know about them? Not in the USA sadly enough. I’m so happy I found them, they rock! Thanks for the reaction and good luck.
Most Americans hearing Floor for the first time only seem to think of 'she is like Amy Lee'.
In my opinion, a rather inappropriate comparison.
Loving Floor, and the boys, in Lafayette, Georgia, USA!
Only in Finland do most people know Nightwish. Before Beste Zangers, basically no one in the Netherlands knew who Floor Jansen was. All these reaction videos have been a delight, but metal is and remains a marginal genre. Never forget how ignorant normies usually are.
@@Distorted80 I don't think that "ignorant" is the right word to describe what you call "normies". In fact, as an American who had never heard of Nightwish until a few months ago, I find that offensive. The U.S. Corporate world keeps bands like Nightwish from being mainstream by refusing to give them air time. They would rather sell the masses their canned version of music, which THEY control. So, the internet, and specifically these Reaction Channels is how MANY if not MOST Americans find bands like Nightwish. Every country has their own forms of restrictions on the flow of information. The U.S. is no different. Stay Safe, Friend.....be Blessed......🕊❤
Sincerely, 🌟💫💛
@@Distorted80
Ignorance about metal is mainly due to disinformation spread by metal "elitists" trying to keep 'normal' people from listening to metal. In the US, elitists intentionally reinforce the stereotype of metal as "devil's music" to keep people away.
If I tell people that Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band, the image they're conditioned to associate with metal is a Black Metal band in face paint with black spiky leather outfits and blood running out of the corners of their mouths as they scream at the top of their lungs while blasting noise at 150 decibels. Floor hitting the D6 at the end of GLS would never be considered a possibility in the genre.
Every singer have limits. And next to them stays Floor, smiling. :D
Because seriously - 8 years with NW, and she always come with something new and harder to do, almost impossible to do again and again and again. And sounds so relaxed like she still didn't reach those limits of hers. Not nearly. Songs after Tarja, songs after Anette, her old bands After Forever and Revamp, work with Ayreon, her time at Beste Zangers, and omg last NW album harder to sing then anything before... And so many other songs around she featuder in. Growls, Opera, Hard rock, Power metal, Pop, Slow ballads, and list goes on. In several languages. Ufffffff.........
How true that all you said really is!
Now, go listen to Shoemaker.
So today is my first time listening to this band. 2 hours, probably 20 "reacts" videos, 5 performance videos and the studio version later and I could still do another several hours on just this song. I'm absolutely awestruck. What a voice and this react video is just spot on. How can anyone watch this and not be moved I don't know.
Floor is a Valkyrie Goddess
Alright, time to give you a little background about Floor. She started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She also studied musical theatre and a year of opera. Floor has been a vocal coach herself since 2003. She's a soprano. In my opinion, the thing that makes her stand out from other singers in this genre is her versatility. She can sing opera, belt, growl. Here are some links to some of her performances:
th-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/w-d-xo.html (operatic vocals)
th-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/w-d-xo.html (growling)
th-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/w-d-xo.html (amazing belting)
th-cam.com/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/w-d-xo.html (OUT OF THIS WORLD BELTING)
th-cam.com/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/w-d-xo.html (operatic vocals, also the song is in German)
People often overlook how amazing the drummer was here.
....and suffering with insomnia, which affected him so much that he had to stop touring with the band.
The nice thing for a vocal coach reacting to any of Floor's performances at the Wacken 2013, the Wembley & Tampere 2015 or Buenos Aires 2019, is that she uses numerous vocal styles, techniques, range, syncopation, etc. so there is plenty to analyse.
Yes, I went with this one since people said it´s her best showcase. It was fantastic!
She even grunts and growls for parts of a few songs. lol
@Johan Definitely..
@@Katriinka its not really her best... its just a normal Floor standard performance. Which is always a very high standard.
Floor is a Viking Angel on stage, but that video is 7 years old. She is even better now in the new album.
I think it's not that she's better, she's showing us more of what she can do in the new album, my question is... is that even her limit or she can sing even better? Like this girl said, every singer has his limits, but so far i didn't hear Floor's limit, is insane.
This song is a picture of Floor's powers, so many singing styles...
@@CrisHermetica I agree she is not better, Wacken 2013 has some pretty spectacular stuff. In the new album she mainly showcases how she handles fast staccato notes and displays her operatic voice again for those who thought Tuomas had turned a tiger into a meek kitten.
BTW Floor does have some (very few) limitations, she doesn't have Mariah Carey's range or agility but then again she has way more power than Mariah (agility and power are usually mutually exclusive).
@@gencoserpen1260 Mariah doesn't really even have Mariah's voice anymore. The whistle is still there, I think, though.
You know you’re good when what you do causes an reaction and a new word. What you had Katriinka was a floorgasm. It’s happened to us all.
Ah, a new term for Floor, “Dark Angel”. I hadn’t heard that one before. Usually it’s warrior, princess, Xena, goddess and Valkyrie. All equally apply. I love vocal coach reactions. Hope you do more Nightwish. Wacken 2013 songs are all great with excellent audio and video. Live Nightwish is always best. 😄🤘
xena
@Skeeze Smith - Not heard that one before either.
She keep adding new names, and it's not enough for our goddess lol
Another one to the list
Add Amazon, she's 6' 1' and beautiful.
Watching people getting a Floorgasm over this has become everyone's hobby. What makes you different than most is not interrupting the crescendo, but instead rocking it out like a total fangirl until the end and only THEN comment. You're amazing like that :)
Floor is her own biggest critic, so she practices and practices until she can do it effortlessly. She's been a vocal coach in the past.
Very good point, Katriinka. Most singers sing what they can, what they're comfortable singing. Floor ... sings what the song needs. I've heard her sing Dutch, English, Spanish, Latin, Finnish, German ... I've heard her sing metal, rock, pop, classical, smooth jazz and country ... She might not be the greatest in any one of those styles, but to me there's nobody who can do all of them on even nearly the same level as Floor.
Great analysis about how Floor uses her technical skills. It's maybe her best asset as a singer. She uses her capabilities to convey emotions and she can very eloquently search our heart and soul by choosing her tones intelligently. And the stunning amazonian figure is a great advantage to her too. Her stage presence is commanding but at the same time very likable and inviting, not at all scary or spooky. Ha ha, I'm so fanboy (but not the only one here). Thank you and greetings from Finland!

"everyone everywhere must have heard about them, its just so widely known"
*cries in American*
the US is super closed for this kind of music :/
here in the other side of the continent (chile) we've known NW from the 90s! :D
but of course, their music never makes it to mainstream radios, only rock stations :/
@@AngelesBustamanteM A few of us in the US have known about Nightwish since the 90's.
It's just that the only place that showcased the band's music was a store called Hot Topic. Which when it started out was pretty diverse in the music they carried. It has since lost it's teeth and become just like any other mall store sadly. They don't even carry music anymore. Just band merchandise.
@@AngelesBustamanteM It's not that all. Being "closed-minded" has nothing to do with it. It's just that the interest in Rock itself is pretty low overall in the US. Rock isn't as popular as it once was here in the US, or as popular as it is currently outside the US. In the US, Country still is #1 and the rest of the market is mostly taken by POP and R&B. There's still Rock fans here and there are Nightwish fans here in the US, it's just not as concentrated as they are overseas. I've seen them play 7 times to sold out shows.
@@AngelesBustamanteM Hardly, I've been listening to symphonic metal since the 90's. It's just metal mostly died off in the US after the 80's and moved on to rock and alt rock then pop and such... You have to remember techno also supposedly died here with the 90's and came back in the mid 2000's yet I was also listening to it through the 90's and even had a good laugh when rap artists and the like in the late 90's started using it and yet people were saying techno is dead.
It wasn't till around 2005 that the internet started to become more available to the masses and music began to spread globally once more.
American metal fans are weird... there are tons of great metal bands and great tours that roll through your country and y'all want to act like it's a crazy niche scene like it was back in the 80s...
"Every singer has limits"
Floor: Unlimited power
(Floor hitting the iconic note from GLS) Katriinka: "that's insane". Oh no no no, the insane part it's the 8 seconds D6 from Phantom of the Opera at Beste Zangers. That's insane.
jose jesus contreras salazar isn’t part of that playback? I mean no disrespect, but it sounds like a backing track comes on, or they bungled up the editing.
@@tetrisgoat there are plenty of live perfomances from Floor's solo tour where she and Henk sing it. So, I don't think so.
jose jesus contreras salazar I hope you’re right! The note is usually playback in the actual show, since it’s hard to not have the note be harmful if you do it often, and especially that long. In the episode, it also sounds like playback comes on halfway through, but it might just be the editing
@@tetrisgoat Other singers may use playback. But do you realize who are we talking about? This is Floor, she is just so good that she maybe makes it sound like playback. You can trust me she sings live every fucking time.
I can't imagine it being play backed in this show. In the same episode one of the singers forgets his lyrics and just improvises (Cosa della vita by Tim Akkerman and Samantha Steenwijk). Also, the other participants are mentioning it being pretty intense sitting so close to the stage when Floor is singing.
Nightwish Army is of course here! ;) Well, I can only say that I agree with every word being said. I don't know what else to add...
Maybe only some details that may be interesting to you: for example, this particular show was Floor's first big gig with NW (82K people in the audience), and at the time she was not an official member of the band yet, she was replacing Anette Olzon who left the band in the middle of this (Imaginaerum) world tour. This song was played on a 1hr 10min mark of the concert.
Maybe you already know, but Floor used to be a vocal coach for a number of years, and has classical training as well)
If I start recommending Floor's performances here, the list will be quite long, so I'll try to shorten it a little:
Beautiful acoustic: How's The Heart ( th-cam.com/video/yYtkPpFYzOo/w-d-xo.html )
Classic opera: Puccini: O mio babbino caro ( th-cam.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/w-d-xo.html )

Soft pop: Shallow ( th-cam.com/video/M68pe4a_9zk/w-d-xo.html )
Touching, emotional: De Beelden Blijven (A Song for War Child) ( th-cam.com/video/e6-6NVsbg6U/w-d-xo.html )
Growling: In Nightwish ( Yours Is An Empty Hope th-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/w-d-xo.html ), in ReVamp ( Wild Card th-cam.com/video/GpZMFALYeGc/w-d-xo.htmlm51s )
Latin: Qué Se Siente ( th-cam.com/video/DfYeLUoqw0E/w-d-xo.html )
Thank you for your reaction and analysis! Greetings from Moscow and stay safe! ;)
Clicked so fast. Cheers 🍻. Here comes the nightwish army.
M here ! :D
Now this was really a great reaction. Not my last one i watched.
Prepare yourself Nightwish army is incoming with more information and tons of recommendations.
thank you so much! :)
Thank you for not interrupting this amazing performance and instead, going back to pick out the moments you regarded as of special mention afterwards.
This performance is all the more outstanding once you know that this was a setlist that she had no part in creating and not one of the songs was written for her (although she had changed the way the end of this song is performed) - in fact, she hadn't even been confirmed as the permanent lead female vocalist at that stage - See the documentary "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" for the full story of that tour, which had begun in early 2012 with Anette Olzon, with whom they parted company (after a near cancellation after the audience was admitted in Denver on the 28th September was only saved by the singers from Kamelot, who were opening for them - Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz - frantically learning a revised setlist between them in about an hour) at the end of September, after their show on the 29th in Salt Lake City, with Floor invited to complete the tour as a stand-in. She was at her sister's wedding when the call came to her in The Netherlands, and her first show was on the 1st of October in Seattle.
Floor was announced (or rather confirmed - she'd made the role her own by then) as the permanent lead vocalist and a full member of Nightwish on 9th October 2013 - this performance was on 3rd August 2013, over two months earlier.
No pressure then!
It's a very interesting fact that, I also used to know/listen to Nightwish when I was (much) younger but I never liked them that much back then. I recently sorted through my CD collection and found some Nightwish albums as well which proofs that lol. But it was very recently that I stumbled upon this song here performed by Floor which cought my attention immediately! And now after re-listening many songs from Nightwish perfromed by Tarja, Anette and Floor I definetely think that Floor is the best fit for this amazing band. All three singers are great, don't get me wrong but Tarjas and Anettes style, voice and acting never touched me the way Floors did in the very first moment.
I know many "old" Nightwish fans will start argueing now but for me there's no doubt about it that Floor is the one and only person who is able to perform Tuomas compositions in the way they are meant to be performed. Tarja has a beautiful operatic voice but she was focusing almost exclusivley on this style which often made me think that something was missing. Tarjas stage apperance and acting also seems not to fit some of the more powerful songs. Then came Anette, she managed to add a bit more rock feeling by using more belting and more "acting" on stage but the tonality of her voice does not fit some of the songs and she didn't had the flexibility to go through the whole vocal spectrum so some songs sounded almost boring. Finally when I listened to Floor I realized, she is the one who combines the positive aspects of Tarja and Anette without the negatives and adds her own distinct style on top. Her voice fits very well and she has perfect control in every single note and she knows exactly how to emphasize and express emotions with her voice AND her acting/movement/gestures. She might not have Tarjas great operatic voice but she can still go all classical and operatic as well but then immediately switch to a full on belting slash hammer voice that blows your mind. And on top of that just watch her apperance on stage ... every gesture, every step even every blink of her eye is spot on to the music and the story she's telling. I know, the way Nightwish sounds and performs today with Floor is not all Floors work, it's also an evolition of the whole band, it would not be fair to say that this is just because of Floor but I'm very sure that they managed to evolve together as a very strong team and as very good friends.
Welcome back to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tuomas' composition is genius, Floor's execution is magical...
Welcome to your first stop of a long, surprising always awesome Nightwish journey with Floor.
Here are some suggestions for your next stops:
-> There are a couple of great songs from Wacken: "Storytime" and "Ever Dream" are catchy in a very positive way. "Song of Myself" starts catchy and ends with everyone headbanging. "Romanticide", "Last Ride of the Day" and "Ghostriver" are the heavier ones.
-> "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" (Buenos Aires) will give you a metal and power blast: Maximum speed and Marco (the singing bass player) becomes Hannibal Lecter ;-)
-> "Yours an Empty Hope" from Wembley (have a good look!! at the growls. You'll be surprised.)
-> „Dead Boys Poem“ from Buenos Aires (so amazing and emotional)
-> „Weak Fantasy“ (Tampere): Kai the beastat the drums, Troy joins in, great duets with Floor and Marco, ...
-> "The greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere) is epic as "The Poet and the Pendulum“ (Wembley - get to know the background of this song ahead)
From the new album there are for obvious reasons no live sessions so far. For all songs there are lyric videos, except "Noise". But maybe you'll give some songs a try as well. It's an awesome album. Definitely not an "easy" one with a lot of really unique songs, different from what is "typical" for Nightwish.
-->"Noise" is probably the most "typical" song and the only one with "real video". The video is great as the song itself
--> "Tribal" is the heaviest one and Kai, the drummer, had to change his normal setup to be able to play it.
--> "Shoemaker" (about Eugene Shoemaker) is such a heavenly and epic song with the possible epic ending.
--> "Music", Pan", "How's the Heart", ... are really cool songs as well. All songs are challenged Floor as singer, which is not easy to do.
--> "Harvest" is so different with Troy singing, that you will wonder if you're listening to Nightwish.
Just in case (which I can really recommend) you're going to do watch Floor at "Beste Zangers" make sure you take the clips of "jenniezelf" on TH-cam as she has also included the talking / interviews before and after with english subtitles.
The concept of the show is, that on one day all singers sing a song for one of them. It's a song that is from that singer or a song that means a lot for him / her. So it is very interesting to get to know the story behind each song.
And it will help to understand the reactions of the other singers.Floor is singing there in German, Dutch, Spanis and English. Her "Phanom of the Opera" duet with Henk Poort is legendary.
Oh my, a double delight. One beautiful woman complimenting another beautiful talented woman. Great reaction Katriinka, you had some very unique insightful comments. I enjoyed it very much. Floor has become my favorite all time singer and Nightwish is the band I would most like to see live. I look forward to you reacting to more of Nightwish and Floor.
Start to finish.. This entire concert is a treasured gift to humanity.
I enjoy the subdued and sincere reactions far more than those who intentionally overemphasize for the sake of playing to their viewing audience.
Somebody who also appreciates the beauty of a symphonic interlude.. a rare occurrence indeed!
And.. you did very well with presenting vocabulary and diction for (what I presume) is not your native language.
Glad I dropped by for a visit. Will be back for sure. You are music to my ears. :)
Awesome reaction Katrinka my screen was on fire with two goddess on it. You’ve opened up the flood gates of NW army strap in and enjoy the ride. Romanticide next plz.
haha thank you so much!
Now you have reacted to the 2 greatest Queens of Metal ..first Tatiana Shmaylyuk and now Floor Jansen.. glad you enjoyed both performances.
It was awesome! Both of the queens! :)
What about Brittney Slayes?
@@jamestalkington6306 Turn on the Bat-Signal, The Joker is in Town
Can't forget about Simone Simons
@@Katriinka I think you should add another Queen of Metal, a thunderstorm in a pocket 😅: th-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/w-d-xo.html
Your analysis was spot on. Or as we say: lots of singers sing how they can, Floor sings how she wants. Indeed she chooses the vocal placement/technique that the song needs, at any given time during the song. She is able to switch seamlessly, whenever she wants or whenever the song requires it. She is probably the most versatile singer on the planet.
You´ve got the point!
Floorgasms every time she nails that ending. She is by far my favorite female vocalist and moves me like none other. Would love to get your reactions to Romanticide, song of myself, the greatest show in earth.
from 🇫🇮😁🤘❤️🎶🎸👍🤩
Great reaction🤘 Hope We see you more with Nightwish rollercoaster Family 😁❤️
Great reaction! GLS, with Floor singing is the most reacted to song, in the history of music video reactions. A bit ahead of Jinger Pisces. FYI:There were 82,000+ in the audience that night. It is the 13th of 15 songs that NW performed that night. I would recommend either 'Ever Dream' or 'Storytime'from the same concert for your next Nightwish reaction.
The singer's name is Floor Jansen. She is the 3rd and still current female lead singer of Nightwish (est. 1996) She had been with the band for little over 10 months at the time of this concert on 03 August 2013. She started performing in her first Metal Band, After-Forever at the age of 16. After that band disbanded, she started her own band called Revamp. Which was on hiatus, when she received a call from Nightwish to take over the female lead singing duties mid-tour. The rest is history.
i'm so happy you highlighted that run downward ... her talent is unreal. love your channel!
See, this is why I like your reactions so much. I don't remember a single reaction from anyone else mentioning the middle part you called the 'interlude'. When I first heard Nightwish, and this concert performance was my first exposure to them, I thought that part was wonderful!! I was sad that the orchestra, and the choir that recorded the background of this song was not present. You mentioned it, and I saw you enjoy hearing it, and that made me happy that I wasn't the only one that noticed how great that part is. I truly enjoy watching you listen to the music and the singer because I know from your face that you are really listening, and not just doing it for the views. Floor reminds me of Zena, Warrior Princess here. She's supposed to be around 6 feet tall which is really nice. It's funny I never heard of Nightwish till reaction videos started popping up to them. I grew up in the '60's and '70's with all the classic rock bands, and I think Nightwish belongs right up there with them!! Thanks for sharing this reaction, stay safe.
When Steve Harris of Iron Maiden thinks you are the best band going you know you have made it that Wacken concert is in my top three best live performances along with Loreena McKennitt "nights from the Alhambra" and Iron Maiden live in Rio 2001. Floor is special she has taken Nightwish to another place.
first, thnx for a great reaction and even i'm dutch, i have never heard of nightwish, couple of my favorites are Metallica, Dream Theatre, Within temptation till Floor was in a show that i alway watch and she was in "de beste zangers" and holy f*ck that woman can sing i looked her up and since then Nightwish is my favorite band i listen every day day in day out and there isn't a bad song every time i think ok how are they gonna top that....mmmm that feeling isn't gonna last long....till the next song to be honest, enjoy the ride of you're new Nightwish with Floor Jansen
Finally!! Your reaction to one of the most versatile voices I have ever heard is greatly appreciated. Just comment that this is the tip of the iceberg and I hope you can continue discovering and enjoying Floor. Greetings from Santiago de Chile!
Storytime and Everdream from the same Wacken concert!!!!!!!!!
Storytime at Wacken drives me insane!!! 🖤🔥
Unfortunately Nightwish was almost unknown in the US until recently, these reaction videos brought them to the forefront. Thanks for the exposure from people like you to bring such a tremendous band to us.
Hi Katriinka , love the lipstick. I think I have watched most reactions of this performance by voice coaches and I applaud you for your the break down of Floor's voice , it was more in depth than most others and spot on. Look forward to more from you.
Just a tip from an audio engineer: I hear you have a Gate or expander on your microphone so that it only opens when you speak. There's also a really low frequency in the background, and you can hear it Everytime the mic opens.
You can put a really simple EQ with a high pass filter at around 150 Hz to solve this
thank you so so much. I am not recording in good conditions. I have to have my setup in the only room we have and there are very high ceilings. It creates terrible sound, so I am constantly trying to make it as best as I can. Thank you for your tip
The audio is generally good enough. I wonder if the sound we hear is a resonance from your voice in the desk or stand the microphone is on. A little damping could fix it.
There's a gate to Valhalla; it only opens when Floor Jansen sings.
14:12 the Floorgasm brings yet another convert to the family !! 😁 Welcome Sister. You’re one of us now. Just FYI, that’s about 70 minutes into the show and Floor had been killin’ it the whole way already. Also, that’s 82 THOUSAND people hanging on her every word; so, no pressure on her to Bury that (9 second long)high note.... At 6’1 and 170 pounds Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie; and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again. I love watching these reaction videos and my biggest hope is that people follow and enjoy the Symphonic Metal path I was led to. Welcome to it.
💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙
Nightwish Army Infantryman
This is the holy trinity of Nightwish songs live with Floor fronting...
Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013 th-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/w-d-xo.html
Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere 2015 th-cam.com/video/45brzDJKZ3o/w-d-xo.html DO NOT CUT THIS OFF EARLY. The Nightwish Army is Murderous behind this Sin. Be Warned. 😏😏
The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley 2016 th-cam.com/video/gbn9GczYBkw/w-d-xo.html (wait until you have a full understanding of the band’s history before you react to this one. It’ll add the context you need to fully appreciate this emotional masterpiece.)
Super nice reaction of you, and excellent analysis of Floor's techniques, power and ability to switch between the techniques.
Please more of Nightwish with Floor - but I am sure you didn't find Floor's limits. On their new album, she was challenged for the first time in Shoemaker - getting the right feeling at the end - but she solved it, at home in her own studio, and now it's on the album.
Great reaction and do enjoy the Nightwish adventure together with the Nightwish Army 👍🤘🤘
Very nice reaction! Enjoyed!
Waiting more Nightwish and/or Floor... :)
Maybe Floor´s songs from Dutch TV show "Beste Zangers" season 2019 where Floor was also. Her first song there was "Vilja Lied" in German. And she sing it to Dutch opera singer Henk Poort. And one extra thing, look other singers who are sitting there, for them Floor was tattooed metal vocalist and her song was really surprise to them as well Dutch people in their homes looking this show!
Watching professional singers getting floorgasms is my new favourite thing to do
Great reaction. You describes exactly what Floor is doing every time in all songs she performs: Choosing the type of Technic she needs to express the emotion of the particular part of that song. What made it even more unique: she does it live and was not on stage as a full band member, but still as a guest singer. Although she was on World Tour with NW since late 2012, she was still the stand-in for Anette at Wacken Open Air festival 2013.
- "it is not ALMOST a classical interlude." It is classic!! Nightwish is supported by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Most reactors tend to skip the part where the interlude plays. You didn't & you knew it was the part of the song. Thank you for your unfiltered reaction. Loved it. 😊🖤
thank you so much. and I really meant it. the interlude and one more part was copy claimable. and I let it slip. it was too precious. I only make money off content creation now, working really hard, but. I literally couldnt. it was too precious
You did it!!! I'm so glad for it, thank you so much. You look so fantastic and day after day I understand more about de head, chest or mix voice. Thanks a lot
Great reaction. Floor is an empath, able to project emotion with her voice, but watch her hands. I'm mesmerized by them when she sings. I hope to see you doing more from this band. Until then, keep on Nightwishing on. 🤘😜🤘
Subscribed and dinged.
Great reaction, great explanation too! Really added to other reactions from voice coaches I saw. Thanks!
Hi. You haven't heard anything yet from our Valkyrie. She's amazing and Beautiful inside and out. She's been with the band 10 months at this concert. She was still suffering a little bit from her burnout. She's been singing professionally since she was 16 and now she just turned 39 in Feb
You won't get copyrighted, Nightwish don't do that. Great reaction, try Storytime from the same show :)
They are smart. They treat it as free advertising. That being said, buy some of their music, since they are not able to tour right now.
@@machintelligence Except for Poet and The Pendulum. People have received strikes for that particular song and some videos have even been pulled. I'm wondering if it might be a choice made by Tuomas. That particular song is in his past now. I think there may also be an element of saving that particular song for Nightwish alone. Which is fine, because we can still find their TPATP here on TH-cam and listen to our hearts content. Stay Safe and Be Blessed......🕊❤
@@cinderellsworth I heard that Poet and the Pendulum copyright issues is not because Nightwish, but because some rapper used the "white lands of emphatica" in his song and his music label is claiming the copyright
@@cinderellsworth I have heard that the strikes are not from Nightwish, but from a rapper who sampled a small part of the work and used it for background in one of his songs.
www.whosampled.com/sample/387594/Kollegah-Mondfinsternis-(Abaz-Remix)-Nightwish-The-Poet-and-the-Pendulum/
I might be wrong, but that sample is the source of the controversy.
sadly yes, video got copy claimed, therefore no monetization. But at least it didnt get taken down! :) thank you so much!
Awesome reaction !!! Thanks for the insight. The USA needs to know more about Nightwish. Definitely just subscribed to your channel. You’re 🔥
thank you so so much!
Really enjoyed both your reaction and your in depth analysis of the Valkyrie Goddess' singing! Hope to see more Nightwish and/or Floor reactions in the future. Subbed.
The most amazing thing about this is, At the time this was this was recorded, Floor was only a touring member and had been with the band for a few months. That ending is something she did. The original doesn’t have that
Your love of Nightwish going back to Tarja is what made me become a subscriber. Congrats on an amazing channel! Beautiful analyzing 💗💕💗💕
Nightwish + Floor = heaven!! 🤩
I’m a 20 year+ Nightwish Fan, I have seen 100’s of reaction/voice coach videos & yours was an absolute joy to watch your reaction, the Funtime you were having, the appreciation for Floors goddess presence & her vocal mastery. I thanked Freya for blessing the earth with you, vocal coach who actually explains what is happening with the vocals & range. Keep up the great work & that incredible smile. Much love, peace & respect. Stay safe. 🤘
HI
Katriinka, How do you feel reacting and analyzing another vocal coach and singer?
"Phantom Of The Opera" with Henk Poort in Beste Zangers is a great recommendation.
4:06 Saying that she is not pushing hard now is true, consider it as foreplay. A goosebump starter.
4:11 We are witnessing here a real girl crush building up.
7:14 This is a fact, Floor knows how to use her toolbox. In her first show with Nightwish, she had to learn de 15 songs in the setlist in 48 hours.
9:40 Ghost love Score is practically 2 songs in 1, an interlude is very good for the vocalist to rest her voice a little bit. Also, add suspense and a theatrical mood in the show.
12:10 this part of the song, she starts the Goddess mode.
13:56 the start of the Floorgasm as only she can do.
14:19 The Floorgasm in all your glory
It was a pleasure to watch a reactor that knows what she is doing. Thank you for the video.
So much beauty on one channel. Host, Floor and NIGHTWISH music. A great job breaking down the vocals and explaining them.
If you are into Wagner, she is Brünhilde. Specially in the end part (after the staccato notes), below the "burned skies" (the fire in the background lights), for me it is basically the score of the Götterdämmerung. And yes, in the classic myths some sources even say that Brünhilde. was not mortal but a Valkyrie. Anyway, since you probably get tons of superlative accolades of the Nightwish Army, let's fairly point out the negatives also: I sometimes feel Floor is a bit too controlled and technical. A good example is her version of Heart's Alone (from her After Forever times). It misses the fire and raw emotion of Ann Wilson. But as singer comparisons go, Ann Wilson is a good league to be in for a Rock Singer:-) And of course it is over ten years old.
Awesome reaction Katriinka! Floor is an angel the best singer out there in my opinion!
You've fallen down the Nightwish rabbit hole, and we're here to catch you! 😉 Floorgasm achieved. 😍
Want to hear her in Beast Mode?
"Yours Is An Empty Hope - live from Wembley Arena 2015".
PS - that t-shirt is nice, but your smile will be enhanced by a Nightwish shirt. 👍
You are Literally Everywhere and I Love It. :))
I don't think I was prepared for your rich and velvety voice. So pretty!!
Great reaction and analysis! Instant sub 😄
Please do more Floor and Nightwish, there is so many layers to see and hear which you can't hear in this one.
There is so much to choose from but couple good ones from same Wacken 2013 concert:
Romanticide
Ever Dream
Storytime
Ghost River
Greetings from Finland!
You shouldn´t be nervous, keep being spontaneous, you made my day, watching you enjoying another human being with the same love for singing. Huge thanks!!!
Wonderful reaction. This new wave of alpha live vocalists (Dimash, Floor, and Sohyang) transition effortlessly between vocal placements based on personal expression of the music. What they do can not be presented on an album recording because one simply assumes this has been cobbled together from multiple takes/tracks with a computer... You have to see them create each color live to understand the mighty thing they have done. These three are currently the greatest live vocalists on the planet, and you're lucky if you hear any of them on the radio. Ever. Shame on the music industry and honor to these 3 true artists in a sea of fakers and technology ❤
I heard Nightwish with Floor twice today on radio. But I live in Finland 😁
@@kimstrom7793 I lived there for a few years and never heard them on the radio even once, just a lot of Velcra, Lab and the Pahat Pojat movie theme. But no Nightwish.
@@mattphillips2530 Well yes it depends what channel you listen to. Radio Rock plays Nightwish on a daily basis probably. But mainly only singles like Nemo, Amaranth, Elan and now also Noise.
@@kimstrom7793 Ah. I left Finland a year before Nemo dropped.
@@mattphillips2530 Ok, well maybe it was different then. I can't remember really as I wasn't that big a fan of Nightwish back then. I've been familiar with Nightwish ever since Oceanborn was released. Lost a bit of interest during the Anette era, as thought her live vocals were a bit average. But from the day I heard Nightwish with Floor for the first time in early 2015, they quickly became my favourite band. 😄
Really enjoyed your take on her epic vocals.
I too have trouble holding back the tears at the end when she belts.
Epic performance
Very interesting reaction Katriinka with new insides about the vocals for me at least. Also thanks for dressing up for this occasion ❤👀. Usually I can't take my eyes of the Valkyrie Queen when she performs, but I have to admit this time I was kinda distracted. Please more Floor Jansen / Nightwish reactions. I recommend the Beste Zangers series (Floor sings Shallow / Phantom of the Opera). For a vocal coach probably highly interesting also the new album Human Nature, with the songs Music, Shoemaker, How's the Heart. Very difficult vocals, but you can see Floor shining.
Another Nightwish army soldier infiltrating your YT channel. Awesome that you sing and on twitch too. Followed you on here and twitch. Can't wait to hear you sing live. Also, your complexion and makeup is beautiful.
Cool to see how much you enjoy nightwish and floor, floor nailing it and give you goosebumps is called a floorgasm. She is the best and most versatile singer in the world ( and most of her fellow dutchies didnt even knew that till 2019) in beste zangers 2019 she amazed all the singers on that show and the dutch people, she did it all..german,english,dutch even in spanish and she nailed it all...her cover shallow is even better than the original! the best version of phantom of the opera( sorry nightwish and tarja fans) she did with henk poort on that show..i bet evenas a vocalcoach you will be amazed......so please check that out.....you also will also love sancta terra by epica with floor also featuring( not so epic as thissong but prettygood as well)....
We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever
Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever
Into the blue memory
A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be
The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love n' loss
Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me
Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me
Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman's noose
Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep
Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast
Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I'll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever...
Nightwish Army reporting for duty xDDDDD
Every Member of this Band is on Fire and complete each other so perfectly
#nightwisharmy
Another great Nightwish reaction...although how could it be otherwise....I also love your expression when Floor makes that final note...❤️
The day everyone listens to Nightwish, is the day we will finally have a bit of peace. Not in the world, but in ourselves.
Great reaction and analysis! For sure not much Floor can't do vocally, it's really quite astounding! Looking forward to seeing you sing:) have a great day
That was a nice reaction especially the part where you point out how she applies emotion and expression by transitioning through various techniques and that it is all a matter of choice on what would be the best fit for the current mood of the song. I have heard many people say Floor is too technical and doesn't have any emotion because she is too concerned on hitting the notes flawlessly (usually Amy Lee fans say this), I should forward them to this reaction video!
Excellent presentation of your reaction, respect!! Always cool to see people reacting to this song, and other outstanding examples. Btw - you and Floor are in the "STUNNING" club!! ;)
This was awesome!
I think you’d really enjoy checking out more of Floor, she’s the most versatile singer I’ve ever heard, ever. You already saw how many tools she has in her voice in this song, you mentioned how she chooses her vocal placements and tones so well to suit the song and emotions she’s expressing and that’s so true again I have a hard time thinking of a singer who does it better. But you’ve only begun to see all the tools she has at her disposal. Her live stuff with Nightwish is all amazing and she was on a show called Beste Zangers, her performances on there are all great and again showcase the versatility, she songs everything from pop to country to salsa to opera to musical theater on that show, and in particular, the musical theater, her performance of phantom of the opera with Henk Port as the phantom... it’s just so so so so good
So, if got it right, you may not be familiar with NW other new entry: Troy Donokley. He officially joined the band shortly after Floor, and he plays... uh... pretty much whatever he fancy. And he is also third voice.
Have a look at *I Want my Tears Back* live in Buenos Aires 2019!
I love how much you love this, I agree with you. This band is amazing and her voice is epic.
Loved your analysis. Now I know a little more about vocal techniques.
thank you so so much :)
It’s nice to see a longer video where you can delve a little more into the details. Great, as always.
thank you my lovely
Love your reaction!!❤
thank youuu!
Awesome reaction Katriinka ! Thank you for opening your Nightwish reactions with my request !! I hope you do more from this concert Wacken 2013 and also try some from Wembley 2015 they are all amazing !! Thank you again !!
Mostly of singers sing what they can,
Floor sings what she wants 😎
Loved your reaction! Floor is the mistress of making songs her own. I have never been so blown away by a band of artists in my life. Thanks for your thoughts about her voice and how complete her skills are to bring the song to such a huge crowd. I subscribed, too.
This is not a rock concert or opera! This is an almost transcendental symphonic experience!
Thank you for such a respectful reaction.
