When Nightwish lost Annete, I was hoping against all hope that they would choose you to front them (Though I have to confess that I LOVE Ancient Bards, and would have lamented your loss there). Your cover here is a delight! Thank you.
I've been listening to this all morning. I can't even describe how good this is. I like Anette's version but Floor made this one of my favourite Nightwish songs. I love how you can take basically any song and make it your own. Every new cover you make is my favourite song.
I think that when you reach a certain level of talent, comparisons are hard. It's more like a personal taste than an objective comparison between levels of talent. What I can say is that, from my point of view, I agree completely with the comment. I hear metal and similar from around 25 years, I heard pretty much all the worldwide known comparable voices and I can say that nothing and noone hooked me like Sara did. It's probably a personal taste, she just resonates perfectly with me and I listen a song from Ancient Bards or one of her covers pretty much daily from more than a year. Never happened before. So, to me, she's at top spot for sure :)
The more I listen to this the more I love it. I really like your rendition which is less operatic and just a great power vocal. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work..... 🎤 🎶 🌟
I'm glad nightwish aren't looking for a singer at the moment. That was awesome. That is my favourite nightwish song. Looking forward to the new ancient bards album.
Ciao Sara Grazie alla tua Voce sono rinato il mio cuore spezzato è magicamente guarito, non so come posso sdebitarmi per quello che hai fatto ti sarà grato per Sempre. Grazie mille di cuore ❤️ complimenti per il video una meraviglia meglio dell'originale.
The best cover of Nightwish Anette's song! Looking forward to more! And in the previous MV and live videos, I seem to think you are a bit like Anette.💙
Great cover! I just love your voice, been an Ancient Bards fan for many years, but somehow your channel passed under my radar until now. Take my subscription! I'd love to see and hear you do a duet with Floor or Simone, that would be epic.
You're awsome! You should do a cover of Nightwish's song 'For the Heart I once Had', you have just the right tones for that... Although, I love you in your own style with Ancient Bards, it's really amazing the way you make other bands songs sound.
Sara, to me you have the most beautiful voice in the world together with Floor Jansen. I don't know why you feel the need to overprocess it to this point...it doesn't even sound like you. It feels fake to me, and I felt the same about the Within Temptation cover. Hope to see you again soon with Ancient Bards and that these videos will bring attention to your original music 🖤
@@SaraSquadrani I think it's the voice effects and the mixing! It's not natural at all! I find those more suitable to people who are not good as you at singing and have to mask it...but maybe it's a fixation of mine. People who don't know your voice well probably won't notice. Nevertheless it's a pity for me, this way your voice loses some of its warmth and some harmonics
@@claudiabeltrame2207 I don’t know, there’s just some basic EQ, reverb and delay, very standard! Plus, it was all done by the same guy who’s been mixing my voice for the last 12 years. The only difference is that I don’t have high-end gear when recording at home. I feel like I’ve never sounded more like myself than in these covers, which I can sing with much more calm and attention as opposed to the haste given by the limited time I have in the studio for albums. Moreover, my voice isn’t really on rails, it has many facets I give different nuances to when I see fit, according to the mood and the style of the song. I really have no issues with my voice and I certainly am not trying to change it or mask it in any way 🙂
I didn't think you had any issues with your voice, I just thought that you (or the guy mixing) tried to make it sound more like Anette's. I hear a lot of (unnecessary, for my taste) autotune. Well maybe it's just these songs that don't make your voice stand out as other songs. I think the result is better with Celine Dion's, but I understand your fan base requests and your desire to meet them. Edit: I also made my husband listen to this cover and he almost didn't recognize you. He is a big Ancient Bards fan and he was the one who made me discover your music.
@@claudiabeltrame2207 Not that Sara needs any defense but with alldue respect, i think you guys are confused. Maybe you are confuseing the layered vocals and the uncommon (for sara) range, she is using in this song for autotune. I think there is no autotune and i have been using it for years, but my main point is this , we all agree Sara is a great singer ,right ? Even if autotune was to be used it would be undetectable since she doesnt really make mistakes that would force it to sound "autotuned".
Oh My WOWZERS!!! This absolutely SLAYED!!! I never thought about it but your voice is probably the best possible fit for Imaginaerum songs cos they have this child-like tone and you pull that vibe off soooooooo well! And I love what you did with the video, the colour lighting and the headbanging is gets me soo pumped. And the notes on the ending were so much WOW!!! Would have just wanted to see you try to join in with the choirs on the chorus.

Guiness world record for the longest AAAAAAA at 4:56 😂 Sara is just the best!
😂😂 thank you!!
Great point that one
Nightwish and Sara. Today is good day. Fantastic cover
Thank you Patrick
Rocking rock: ✔️
Great cover: ✔️
Superior performance: ✔️
But that headbanging: ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
Hahahha *laughs while stretches neck"
@@SaraSquadrani glad to see you are back
I LOVE Anette but your version........... OMG. I love you so much Sara. You are surely my favorite singer ever!
lol her voice is somewhere in between Anette and Floor, great for this cover
It's in between paradise and heaven.
@@scottjohnson6070 Ohh Scott

Thank you! 🥰 There was no better choice than Floor for that job anyway!
You are awesome, your voice combined a lot with this song. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Hi! Obrigada!!

Thank you so much
the way you cover songs is awesome Sara. long live the Ancient Bards!
Великолепный кавер! Браво! 👍👋💥
Sara fits perfectly with Nightwish, I could only wish to hear her singing a duo with Marco ♥
Hi! I don't know if it counts, but I kinda did duet with Marco, in the Ayreon album :)
@@SaraSquadrani Well that counts haha! Awesome :D!
This song just had a huge boost. Sara you are the best singer in my opinion. Literally the best female singer in the world!
In the world? 😮 Thank you very very very much ❤️

@@stefanogalimberti I can agree with that
Wow you're voice can get very similar to Anette!! Good job Sara! :D \m/
Actually it's a unique Squadrani voice, recognizable everywhere! 🎙️🔥🤘
much more pleasant than Annette...
This is a little offensive 😅, Sara is much better😁
Awesome cover! I honestly don’t know who’s version I like better. Please do more Nightwish. Maybe some Elven Path…
Thank you!! I will look into some more Nightwish ;)
Oh, definitely a cover of Elven path would be amazing!
Sara sei immensa. Amo I Nightwish alla follia. Tarja, Anette, Floor...
Cover spettacolare. Sei meravigliosa. Ti adoro.
The more I listen to this the more I love it.
I really like your rendition which is less operatic and just a great power vocal. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work..... 🎤 🎶 🌟
Dear Dave, thank you kindly!
Great release. Sarah is always spot on, a sensational vocalist.
Thank you
I'm glad that you decided to cover of dynamic song. Where were you when N were looking for a replacement for Tarja? ;D
😂 😂😂
wow!! love anettes turn in nightwish. this is a great cover. love it!!
Thanks! I’m happy you liked it!
Wonderful cover as always!
Thank you!! ☺️
Love your voice! Wonderful cover.
Thank you very much Robert!
ancient bards has always been my favorite band, and now that I listen to this beautiful cover, I realize that my favorite is sara, idol. ❤️
Your voice is simply stunning. The lighting gives the cover an extra layer of awesomeness, the enjoyment and passion is incredible and undeniable ❤❤
Thank you!!
I'm glad nightwish aren't looking for a singer at the moment. That was awesome. That is my favourite nightwish song. Looking forward to the new ancient bards album.
Thank you James 😊
Non ho parole! Meravigliosa è riduttivo... Vorrei un giorno poter vedere te e Floor cantare insieme
Brutal 🔥
Amazing! You made this song yours and delivered an outstanding cover

Da paura, fantastica
Grazie!! 🥰
Awesome! \m/
Thank you!!
That headbanging was unexpected, though there is not much to do during those neverending orchestrations. 😀
Exactly 😂
However it was funny too, a lot of hair from nowhere, or should I say "hairbanging". 😄✌️
I would love to hear you cover Elan by nightwish.
OH NO SHE DIDNT. DID SHE JUST COVER NIGHTWISH!?
I think I did! 😁
@@SaraSquadrani And it was wonderful! Always excited to see your next video
Your voice fits very well this song. Maybe you can cover an old Nightwish song? :-P
queiro mas de Nightwish con tu vos, uno de Tarja, te van a salir increibles como este
👌👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘

Good cover. But now you know how majestic Floor Jansens voice is . . .
Never doubted of the majesty of Floor's voice!
@4:56 5:10 es lo mas importante
you can replace any symphonic vocalist
I think everyone but Annette Olzen is able to completely dominate this song on vocals. Jesus I wish they would re-record the vocals on those records.
Floor is definitely better than Annette, but why does Annette get no love?
You didn't do the whole song
It'll sound better if u lower the autotune down. I know that u already r a good singer.
Rocktastic Cover Sara!🙃🎶🤘
Thanks!! Happy you liked it :)
Oh My WOWZERS!!! This absolutely SLAYED!!!

Hi Andrei, thanks! I guess my Disney side comes through here :D
mi è piaciuta anche l’escalation con cui eri immobile di fronte alla telecamera per poi finire a fare headbanging 😂
😂😂 così, un po’ effetto surprise 😜
