We were just about the leave but the owner played on the TV the whole End of an era live concert. My friend left, but I just sat there through the whole concert and enjoyed every moment. Forgot about the sorrow for the moment and just enjoyed the amazing sound this band has (no matter the frontman they have). That really came at the right time... Listening to this now made me remember just how great the band is, and Floor is definitely more than worthy of being the frontmen.

Can you breakdown this video th-cam.com/video/-PK_WwAQ_mg/w-d-xo.html It's a Quran recitation Recitation of Famous Qari Abdul Basit.. With his lovely voice 😁
Well I'm new to this channel, and I think your overall reaction was great, but I have to say that this whole tendency towards the "reality TV show quick-cut interview" style is driving me to distraction. I know it's one of those things we've seen done by supposedly professional outfits that put together reality shows, so you think it will make your product look professional, but it does, in fact, make it extremely hard to watch. Bear in mind it was originally employed in clips that were only a few seconds long, where the producers were intentionally manipulating a reality personality's words to fit their script, not full-length things like this. I'm sorry, I'd love to watch more of your content, but the whole quick-cut thing is just too much to bear. Nothing personal - you seem like a terrific person - and I'll check back for future videos. Cheers
Nightwish became an entire band when Floor joined the ranks. I am was the gang who thought that when Tarja left the band, it was in it. But the first time I heard this presentation, I had to admit that Floor is the best thing that Nightwish has come up with. You have to check same concert "Song of My Self, Romanticide or Storytime.....
So you said Floor was the best thing that happened to Nightwish BEFORE discovering this performance. That's a good one ^^ I agreed with everything in your intro, for me is natural that people who loved the Tarja era now love the Floor era. There's no competition here, other than personal preferences which can even change from song to song.
Thank you for giving the drummer, Jukka, the credit. In these reaction videos everybody naturally focuses on Floor and her vocals, but I guess Jukka deserves his own reaction videos. Cheers from Turkey.
She's so perfect that most don't even notice how excellent the other performers are, who, let's face it, are absolutely bringing their A-Game (helped by the fact that the song itself is epic and very complex)
Thank you so much for the moments of compare/contrast with Tarja! Wish more reaction people would do that. I love both of them in Nightwish. I missed a Tarja so much right after her exit from the band, it took me years before I gave them a fair chance, but Floor has resurrected my fandom!
Long time NW fans rediscovering them with Floor are some of my favorite reactors! Stick with Wacken 2013 for a while. Time for a cold shower in the GHOST RIVER! 🤙🔥
13:55 the Floorgasm brings yet another convert to the family !! 😁 Welcome Brother. 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.)
There is no other vocalist like Floor. She was the missing link to Nightwish. At long last Nightwish is complete and cohesive all around like one machine.
Floor is my favourite as well! Saw her with the whole band twice and it's an experience out of this world! Already have the tickets for the next concert!
With the amount of people reacting to this song and the amount of people watching the reaction, it should be listed in Guiness World Record. Btw great analysis. I'm glad that you're familiar with Nightwish, hence you're able to point out the strengths of the 3 vocalists without being biased. I'm looking forward to your reaction + review on Marko's performance.
Check out the entire Nightwish set from Wacken 2013 (it's up on TH-cam - the entire concert or individual cuts). Every song is this good and the entire set really showcases Floor's capabilities and range.
There is a symphony orchestra's backing track with a choir. The band and Floor are live. Jukka the drummer is responsible for timings. Tuomas's organ "thing" is for theatrics, impressive though. This show is the best live show that I've ever seen. Everything is first class on this dvd. Other good shows are Tampere 2015, Wembley arena 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018. Greetings from Finland!
In the original album version of the song, the orchestra and the choir are heard a lot better - that's why I prefer that over the live performance: th-cam.com/video/Y6UDS6biLAk/w-d-xo.html
Here are some suggestions for Nightwish with Floor (yes, she is Dutch):: -> "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, … -> Elvenjig / Elvenpath (Buenos Aires): Awesome intro and it continues on that level -> "The greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere) is one of the two most epic songs. The title is not about the gig, but about the topic of the song: The evolution of mankind. -> "The Poet and the Pendulum“ (Wembley) is my personal absolute masterpiece of Nightwish. Be sure to know the background of this song ahead (short version see below *) -> There are a couple of great songs from Wacken: „Story Time“ 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. ***** From the new album there are for obvious reasons no live sessions so far. For all songs there are lyric videos, except this one. 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. Floor said that she was really challenged to sing the songs that Tuomas wrote for her. Knowing her abilities, you can imagine that they are "special“. „ -->"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. -> „Pan“ is just an amazing ride. When it starts you for a moment think you‘re listening to Floors husbands band „Sabaton“. In the song you‘ll be reminded to „Tribal“ and „Noise“. -> Procession“ a rather calm song with so amazing vocals by Floor --> "Harvest" is so different with Troy singing, that you will wonder if you're listening to Nightwish. -> „Endlessness“ is Marcos song and shows his great voice. --> "Music", „How's the Heart", ... are really cool songs as well. Of course. From "How's the Heart" exists also an acoustic version only with Troy at the guitar from "Planet rock" The album challenged Floor as singer, which is not easy to do, as she is one of the best and most versatile singers in the world. ***** If you'd like to Explore Floor on her own: Beste Zangers Just in case (which I can really recommend) you're going to do "Beste Zangers" make sure you take the clips posted by "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 by 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. ***** * Backstory for „Poet and the Pendulum“ Tuomas (the keyboarder and songwriter) was in depression after the split from their first singer Tarja. He was in the position to either commit suicide in real real life or to write a song about it and die within that song. Luckily he choose the latter option. He is the poet, "killed" by the pendulum. And afterwards there is darkness, silence and just a fading heartbeat. It gives me a shiver every time. As this song is so emotional for him all the others have an eye on him. He even had his the vocals turned off in his in ears. Greetz from a German-Dutch concert photographer
These are the live NW concerts you have to see! Wacken 2013, Wembley Arena 2015, Tampere 2015! Buenos Aires 2018 too. Great stuff! So was your reaction to GLS! Greetings from Helsinki Finland! Stay safe!
Props for knowing classic symphonic metal names. I've seen most of who you mentioned in concert. Symphony X was one of my all time favorite shows, who headlined for epica and into eternity.
Im at the start of the song and I can tell this guy has no idea whats about to hit him. She has about as much vocal experience as years this dude has in his life. Its almost not fair game.
Nice reaction. You barely scratched the surface of what Floor's capable of. From pop songs (Beste Zangers show) to opera to metal growls (ReVamp), she can to practically everything. A lot to check out. Tuomas (Nightwish's mastermind) said in an interview there will be no more other singer than Floor in Nightwish...
another great Floor Jansen featured song is Epica Sancta Terra having Floor and Simone Simons together makes it angelic. not to mention the Orchestra and Choir backing them.
Dramatic? Yes. Coloratura? Definitely no! Coloratura is this: th-cam.com/video/c4DpYgG3FyM/w-d-xo.html Floor has a strong voice and can sustain long notes, but she hasn't the flexibility for colloraturas. Actually, there are very few dramatic coloratura sopranos in the world. That's why the Queen of the Night is mostly sung by lyric sopranos instead: th-cam.com/video/lJJW0dE5GF0/w-d-xo.html
This is the best live performance of this song. Nightwish is a pioneer in symphonic metal. I liked your comments and that is how most viewers react. I only have a tip, try to comment where you feel there is an instrumental section. I think you may lose the feeling or effect if you pause in the middle of a powerful or menangful section and enjoy it less. Thumbs up!
Greetings from Finland, the home of Nightwish. First, thanks for summoning the Nightwish army to storm your channel. Second, Tuomas Holopainen (the keyboardist, principal composer/songwriter) does not play the string instruments with his keyboards, but they have a backing track recorded with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
It's so cool to rediscover old love :D As you clearly have history with Nightwish and few songs with Floor... And you said she can do a bit of growl too :D I just giggled like a little girl for a moment, i can't help it but you definetly need to react to Yours is an Empty Hope - Live Wembley!!! Pls, do it now :D I can't wait to see your reaction to that :) Subbed and liked! Stay safe! Greeting from Finland!
I'll see what I can do, there's so many reactions on my to do list already ;) thanks for subbing, enjoy, there will be more Nightwish on the channel for sure
"I've got to see them live." For sure!! But you may not be satisfied with seeing them just once. They are that good live. Also, have you listened to their new album? It's brilliant!
Hi there. If you like to hear her with the Opera Sound, I can recommend "Stargazer" from the Live Concert at Tampere. That song was written at the time of Tarja, and Floor performed it beautifully. And about the drums: "Weak Fantasy" from the same show.
The keyboardist is not playing the stringed instruments. The London Philharmonic Orchestra is playing the stringed instruments. It’s a backing track. But they can’t afford to take them on tour.
Thank you for the review; I always enjoy listening to a professional vocal coach more when watching reaction videos. If you could provide additional insight into Floor's singing, two areas I would like discussed are BELTING technique, and its opposite, SOFTNESS. For belting, Floor's rendition of "Que Se Siente" in the Beste Zangers 2019 series is I feel is the most dramatic; and for softness, her recent solo rendition for the WarChild charity of the song "De Beelden Blijven" has extremely soft vocals. Juxtaposing both of these songs together in the same review would be a great idea, in illustrating her range and, without meaning to criticize anyone else, to compare with, e.g., Lady Gaga or Evanescence.
Very right about Annette and Tarja. Floor clearly had some struggle in the beginning (especially in late 2012 part of the tour, to find her way with Tarja her Songs and with some lyrics written for Annette, I mean the faster and smoother text. But she clearly found her way..
Ou, an old fan of Nightwish discovering Floor... those are often epic videos... we like them/you :) Lets do some more... Wacken, Wembley, Tampere, Buenos Aires? Anything... or Human || Nature, or even Beste Zangers '19??
You should check out Kamelot's newest live video they posted from their upcoming DVD, Sacrimony. I'm sure if you've been listening to the symphonic metal family you're familiar with Kamelot, but I think this performance really nails what makes Tommy an amazing front man and you also get the cool duo dynamic of Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz doing accompanying vocals
If you like Anette, The Dark Element. I listened to her and Jani before I ever found out she was a lead singer for Nightwish. Anette has found her niche with The Dark Element.
I really liked your reaction and commentary, thank you! I think you should listen and react to their new album, it is amazing. The songs come with really cool lyric videos. First song on the album is called Music. Greetings from 🇫🇮.
You are right... I always prefer Floor to Tarja. Always since 2001. She is more everything : expressive, versatile, metalhead, better technique, accessible, talented, etc. I met her, she is a super kind WOMAN! Yeah! I am the 666 th to like it!
Volume could be a little louder for this great music to listen to, but that was a minor thing actually, I liked your reaction very much. I think you should take a listen to Nightwish new album the second with Floor. In my opinion their best album. Songs like Music, Shoemaker, Pan and my favorite Procession. Only lyric videos on TH-cam to look for. Thanks, you look great too :)
This is a kind off song that noks your socks of. What about a dwarf on guitar, a viking on bass, an elf on keys, a beast on drums and a Valkeyre to show how it's done. vocally.
For Floor singing in true opera tones please react to their song Shoemaker from their latest album, Human. :||: Nature. It's an official lyric video because they haven't sung it live yet. I believe you will be blown away, especially in the last couple of minutes. 🤘
Hi, nice reaction, but 10:30 : "She has it all" 😁You know nothing, John Snow !😁 Have a look, what she does with yours "Anettes best Storytime", same concert ! (If it wasnt one you already checked)
Great reaction Coach ( reminded me of your Dimash melt down LOL ). They will be in NYC, Ontario Canada and LA ( I have tickets for LA ) in September if not canceled by virus. You have come full circle with the band. This time you get to meet the Nightwish Army, get ready here they come. Any song from Wacken Concert is a winner for you to react to, Wembley and Buenos Aries concerts are also excellent performances. Enjoy your rebirth with Nightwish.
Finally, someone does not write that he knows symphonic metal music, but he has never heard Nightwish... Finally someone who likes Floor and Tarja (both are great but different). Finally someone who likes this genre and admits that he doesn't like other metal music, really and not just for the camera. btw. I'll wait for you to like it 🤣🤣
MY recommendations for your NEXT (Floor) Nightwish vids are as follows: 1) Song of Myself (Wacken 2013), 2) Storytime (Wacken 2013), 3) Romanticide (Wacken 2913), 4) Shudder Before The Beautiful (Wembley 2015), 5) Ghost River (Wacken 2013) 6) Ever Dream (Wacken 2013). TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE getting to "The Poet and The Pendulum" (Wembley 2015).
Hi, not really, it's just that there's so much I could react to and at the same time I wanna figure out exactly what to do on the channel. I really like nightwish, but there are other bands and music topic I wanna talk about as well although they don't necessarily all work on TH-cam so I'm finding my way. There's still a strong chance I'll react to them in the future or talk about the band in some shape or form
She can paint all colors. She is goddess. Thank you for your reaction. Please can you react Floor Jansen and Henk Poort phantom of the opera in beste zangers.
I'm agreeing with the comment section, with Nightwish you need to feel the music not talk right through the song. Copyright yes you gotta pause not the entire song though. Aren't you supposed to feel the music when you're singing a song so you can the emotion of the song?? You can't do that if you talk right through it.
Well, "The Phantom Of The Opera" is a stage musical, not an opera, although she plays the part of an opera singer. But Floor can and has sung opera, and is trained to do so.

I agreed with everything in your intro, for me is natural that people who loved the Tarja era now love the Floor era. There's no competition here, other than personal preferences which can even change from song to song.
The Netherlands, a small country with a lot of great female singers.
Proud to be Dutch 🇳🇱
And tall...
Indeed, just like myself (6.15 ft / 1.86 m)
Proud to!!
@@strikebr I`m Dutch and short...... ;)
I’m Dutch, but not tall (1.60) 😂
Finally, a reactor that is not a Nightwish virgin, he knows his stuff.
Thank you for giving the drummer, Jukka, the credit. In these reaction videos everybody naturally focuses on Floor and her vocals, but I guess Jukka deserves his own reaction videos. Cheers from Turkey.
She's The perfect voice
If you like Storytime with Anette, you really should give a watch to that song from Wacken 2013, one of my favourite live performance ever.
I did, that's epic!!
Tarja and Annette both skipped (different) parts that Floor does sing...
She's so perfect that most don't even notice how excellent the other performers are, who, let's face it, are absolutely bringing their A-Game (helped by the fact that the song itself is epic and very complex)
I love this kind of reaction from someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
Yep.. the band is great now ... everything is perfect..
Sure is!
perfection would require Jukka still on Drums
@@mutleyeng I like both of them.. Kai is a perfect drummer although he has a different visual performance.
1-2 guitars more
Thank you so much for the moments of compare/contrast with Tarja! Wish more reaction people would do that. I love both of them in Nightwish. I missed a Tarja so much right after her exit from the band, it took me years before I gave them a fair chance, but Floor has resurrected my fandom!
It took me over 20 years to see them live. I hope you don't have to wait as long. Without a doubt..... well worth it!!
Saw Nightwish live in Germany November 2019..An Evening i will never forget!!!!!
Floor sings in 8 languages.
Floor and band make perfect harmony together.🎵🎶👏👏👏👌👍
Long time NW fans rediscovering them with Floor are some of my favorite reactors! Stick with Wacken 2013 for a while. Time for a cold shower in the GHOST RIVER! 🤙🔥
We'll see, there will be more Nightwish reactions in the future for sure!
Love watching her live videos. She’s always smiling while she performs. 💖

Tuomas has said as Floor goes so does Nightwish,wont go thru another vocalist.
There is no other vocalist like Floor. She was the missing link to Nightwish. At long last Nightwish is complete and cohesive all around like one machine.
Floor is my favourite as well! Saw her with the whole band twice and it's an experience out of this world! Already have the tickets for the next concert!
I love that Floor has a great low range too. She is amazing! Thank you for this great reaction :)
Great reaction, spot on with Floor being the full packet, looking forward to more reactions from you.
With the amount of people reacting to this song and the amount of people watching the reaction, it should be listed in Guiness World Record.
Btw great analysis. I'm glad that you're familiar with Nightwish, hence you're able to point out the strengths of the 3 vocalists without being biased. I'm looking forward to your reaction + review on Marko's performance.

If you want to see a new floor jansen vocal trick search for "you are an empty hope" you will be very surprised
I agree with you! I love Within Temptation, but Nightwish is the best. Floor has taken them to another level. Great reaction video.
Most vocalists sing what they can, Floor sings whatever she wants to!
There is a symphony orchestra's backing track with a choir. The band and Floor are live. Jukka the drummer is responsible for timings. Tuomas's organ "thing" is for theatrics, impressive though.

Matt Phillips Haha! Great name.😄

Both in the way she sounds and looks ;)

First "FLOORPLAY" !!
Then "WARNING;; WET FLOOR" !!
And Finally "FLOORGASM" !!!!!!
....Floorever 😁🇫🇮🤘❤️🎶🎸👍
Floored?
Well then you're a Floorshipper!!!! 😁🤘❤🤘
Here are some suggestions for Nightwish with Floor (yes, she is Dutch)::
-> "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, …
-> Elvenjig / Elvenpath (Buenos Aires): Awesome intro and it continues on that level
-> "The greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere) is one of the two most epic songs. The title is not about the gig, but about the topic of the song: The evolution of mankind.
-> "The Poet and the Pendulum“ (Wembley) is my personal absolute masterpiece of Nightwish. Be sure to know the background of this song ahead (short version see below *)

The album challenged Floor as singer, which is not easy to do, as she is one of the best and most versatile singers in the world.
*****
If you'd like to Explore Floor on her own: Beste Zangers
Just in case (which I can really recommend) you're going to do "Beste Zangers" make sure you take the clips posted by "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 by 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.

* Backstory for „Poet and the Pendulum“
Tuomas (the keyboarder and songwriter) was in depression after the split from their first singer Tarja. He was in the position to either commit suicide in real real life or to write a song about it and die within that song. Luckily he choose the latter option. He is the poet, "killed" by the pendulum. And afterwards there is darkness, silence and just a fading heartbeat. It gives me a shiver every time.
As this song is so emotional for him all the others have an eye on him. He even had his the vocals turned off in his in ears.

Haha the fist shakes at the end, best reaction to that part :D
These are the live NW concerts you have to see! Wacken 2013, Wembley Arena 2015, Tampere 2015! Buenos Aires 2018 too. Great stuff! So was your reaction to GLS!
Greetings from Helsinki Finland! Stay safe!
Props for knowing classic symphonic metal names. I've seen most of who you mentioned in concert. Symphony X was one of my all time favorite shows, who headlined for epica and into eternity.
Check out Yours is an Empty Hope for even more Floor vocal variations!!!
Im at the start of the song and I can tell this guy has no idea whats about to hit him. She has about as much vocal experience as years this dude has in his life. Its almost not fair game.
Ok so he knows the music, but it was till fun to watch this reaction.
Nice reaction. You barely scratched the surface of what Floor's capable of. From pop songs (Beste Zangers show) to opera to metal growls (ReVamp), she can to practically everything. A lot to check out. Tuomas (Nightwish's mastermind) said in an interview there will be no more other singer than Floor in Nightwish...
another great Floor Jansen featured song is Epica Sancta Terra having Floor and Simone Simons together makes it angelic. not to mention the Orchestra and Choir backing them.
Floor Jansen is a dramatic-coloratura soprano, nothing more, nothing less.
Dramatic? Yes. Coloratura? Definitely no! Coloratura is this: th-cam.com/video/c4DpYgG3FyM/w-d-xo.html
Floor has a strong voice and can sustain long notes, but she hasn't the flexibility for colloraturas.
Actually, there are very few dramatic coloratura sopranos in the world. That's why the Queen of the Night is mostly sung by lyric sopranos instead: th-cam.com/video/lJJW0dE5GF0/w-d-xo.html
This is the best live performance of this song. Nightwish is a pioneer in symphonic metal. I liked your comments and that is how most viewers react. I only have a tip, try to comment where you feel there is an instrumental section. I think you may lose the feeling or effect if you pause in the middle of a powerful or menangful section and enjoy it less. Thumbs up!
Greetings from Finland, the home of Nightwish. First, thanks for summoning the Nightwish army to storm your channel. Second, Tuomas Holopainen (the keyboardist, principal composer/songwriter) does not play the string instruments with his keyboards, but they have a backing track recorded with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Floor is a vocal coach herself. Perhaps you can sing and she will analyse. But she is also classical trained.
Cool, I didn't know that! I would like to hear her thoughts about me hehe
Well, she took a semester of opera singing and decided that she wasn't good in that. Not exactly what I would called "classically trained"...
Oh awesome you mentioned my Kings of The North from Kemi Finland Sonata Arctica. Oh dude subbed just for that. 🙂🙂🙂
they've done 3 more concert DVD.s since this one, and I have them all
It's so cool to rediscover old love :D As you clearly have history with Nightwish and few songs with Floor... And you said she can do a bit of growl too :D I just giggled like a little girl for a moment,
i can't help it but you definetly need to react to Yours is an Empty Hope - Live Wembley!!! Pls, do it now :D I can't wait to see your reaction to that :)
Subbed and liked! Stay safe!
Greeting from Finland!
I'll see what I can do, there's so many reactions on my to do list already ;) thanks for subbing, enjoy, there will be more Nightwish on the channel for sure
loved the reaction, tnx
"I've got to see them live." For sure!! But you may not be satisfied with seeing them just once. They are that good live. Also, have you listened to their new album? It's brilliant!
Hi there. If you like to hear her with the Opera Sound, I can recommend "Stargazer" from the Live Concert at Tampere. That song was written at the time of Tarja, and Floor performed it beautifully. And about the drums: "Weak Fantasy" from the same show.
Floooor!!❤🤘
The keyboardist is not playing the stringed instruments. The London Philharmonic Orchestra is playing the stringed instruments. It’s a backing track. But they can’t afford to take them on tour.
If you want to hear Floor go full opera check out Shoemaker off the new album.
10:55 the big statement!
Thank you for the review; I always enjoy listening to a professional vocal coach more when watching reaction videos. If you could provide additional insight into Floor's singing, two areas I would like discussed are BELTING technique, and its opposite, SOFTNESS. For belting, Floor's rendition of "Que Se Siente" in the Beste Zangers 2019 series is I feel is the most dramatic; and for softness, her recent solo rendition for the WarChild charity of the song "De Beelden Blijven" has extremely soft vocals. Juxtaposing both of these songs together in the same review would be a great idea, in illustrating her range and, without meaning to criticize anyone else, to compare with, e.g., Lady Gaga or Evanescence.
have you seen this ? :Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019 : th-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/w-d-xo.html
and some more stunning performances from that same show...
You finally did it...!!!
Very right about Annette and Tarja. Floor clearly had some struggle in the beginning (especially in late 2012 part of the tour, to find her way with Tarja her Songs and with some lyrics written for Annette, I mean the faster and smoother text. But she clearly found her way..
Just one word for the content of your reaction: quality !
Tarja = Viking Queen
Annete = Viking Princess
Floor = Viking Warrior (Valkyrie)
This was how someone explained the 3 singers and feel its fair.
Sounds about right
You say growly style, than you havený heard Yours is a empty hope (Wembley)
Would love to see you react to that song, how many likes to do that?
The official videos were bad because they always almost muted her growl
Ou, an old fan of Nightwish discovering Floor... those are often epic videos... we like them/you :)
Lets do some more... Wacken, Wembley, Tampere, Buenos Aires? Anything... or Human || Nature, or even Beste Zangers '19??
There will be more soon! Glad you enjoy the video
I actually like the clip of floor and Tanja singing duet. I'd love more of that.
You should check out Floor singing Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort, she did it on a Dutch singing show. She's amazing
The string instruments are pre recorded by a symphony orchestra on a clicktrack. So they all need to be on point. 🙂
Floor is the best from Holland ❤❤❤❤❤
You should check out Kamelot's newest live video they posted from their upcoming DVD, Sacrimony. I'm sure if you've been listening to the symphonic metal family you're familiar with Kamelot, but I think this performance really nails what makes Tommy an amazing front man and you also get the cool duo dynamic of Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz doing accompanying vocals
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘😁✌ Hello from Northern California!!!! I recommend Song of Myself from this show also.
If you like Anette, The Dark Element. I listened to her and Jani before I ever found out she was a lead singer for Nightwish. Anette has found her niche with The Dark Element.
full package and cool being known as the queen of the valkyries
Yes! She can sing opera. I suggest you to watch her versions of Vilja Lied or O Mio Babbino Caro.
I really liked your reaction and commentary, thank you! I think you should listen and react to their new album, it is amazing. The songs come with really cool lyric videos. First song on the album is called Music. Greetings from 🇫🇮.
try Floor on dutch tv Show ´Beste Sangers´...Phantom of….. or ´Shallow´ or the accustic Version of ´Nemo´ with Floor and Troy
You are right... I always prefer Floor to Tarja. Always since 2001. She is more everything : expressive, versatile, metalhead, better technique, accessible, talented, etc. I met her, she is a super kind WOMAN! Yeah! I am the 666 th to like it!
Volume could be a little louder for this great music to listen to, but that was a minor thing actually, I liked your reaction very much. I think you should take a listen to Nightwish new album the second with Floor. In my opinion their best album. Songs like Music, Shoemaker, Pan and my favorite Procession. Only lyric videos on TH-cam to look for. Thanks, you look great too :)
This is a kind off song that noks your socks of. What about a dwarf on guitar, a viking on bass, an elf on keys, a beast on drums and a Valkeyre to show how it's done. vocally.
For Floor singing in true opera tones please react to their song Shoemaker from their latest album, Human. :||: Nature. It's an official lyric video because they haven't sung it live yet. I believe you will be blown away, especially in the last couple of minutes. 🤘
Hi, nice reaction, but
10:30 : "She has it all"
😁You know nothing, John Snow !😁
Have a look, what she does with yours "Anettes best Storytime", same concert !
(If it wasnt one you already checked)
Cool reaction. But why do many reactors play the song with such a soft sound. Just screw the folume a bit more open.
I'd love to hear your opinion on another, a little bit different Nightwish song called "The Islander" (live @Tampere).
Great reaction Coach ( reminded me of your Dimash melt down LOL ). They will be in NYC, Ontario Canada and LA ( I have tickets for LA ) in September if not canceled by virus. You have come full circle with the band. This time you get to meet the Nightwish Army, get ready here they come. Any song from Wacken Concert is a winner for you to react to, Wembley and Buenos Aries concerts are also excellent performances. Enjoy your rebirth with Nightwish.
most singers sing what they can....Floor can sing whatever she wants and yes she is dutch but lives in sweden and sing in an finnish band hahaha
Haha, yes, she's really multicultural :))
Man, I can sing also what I want... not that anyone is interested, but that’s besides the point... 😜
@@janjanssen9629 Yep i also can sing what i want but i don't think the Netherlands are ready for it.....they never will
She can sing a lot, but not whatever she wants. She cannot sing a Händel opera, for example.
Nice comment , next station Epica 😉
Finally, someone does not write that he knows symphonic metal music, but he has never heard Nightwish...
Finally someone who likes Floor and Tarja (both are great but different).
Finally someone who likes this genre and admits that he doesn't like other metal music, really and not just for the camera.
btw. I'll wait for you to like it
🤣🤣
There you go haha :) thanks for the nice comment
MY recommendations for your NEXT (Floor) Nightwish vids are as follows: 1) Song of Myself (Wacken 2013), 2) Storytime (Wacken 2013), 3) Romanticide (Wacken 2913), 4) Shudder Before The Beautiful (Wembley 2015), 5) Ghost River (Wacken 2013) 6) Ever Dream (Wacken 2013). TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE getting to "The Poet and The Pendulum" (Wembley 2015).
I don't know if you were talking about just that one section, but Floor is not mezzo, she is a full soprano.
@Peter Ang yeah
"I'm not really into metal." *cough* Jinjer - Pisces: th-cam.com/video/SQNtGoM3FVU/w-d-xo.html *cough*
Floor is a Goddess
Your voice is much louder level than Floors singing.
is there any reason, that you haven't continued the Nightwish journey? Thanks.
Hi, not really, it's just that there's so much I could react to and at the same time I wanna figure out exactly what to do on the channel. I really like nightwish, but there are other bands and music topic I wanna talk about as well although they don't necessarily all work on TH-cam so I'm finding my way. There's still a strong chance I'll react to them in the future or talk about the band in some shape or form
You should watch Wacken 2013 and Beunos Aires 2018 concerts.
I would like to see you react to the song Music from the new Nightwish album. I enjoyed your reaction
She can paint all colors.
She is goddess.
Thank you for your reaction.
Please can you react Floor Jansen and Henk Poort phantom of the opera in beste zangers.
Watch her on the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers
You react to the best Metall female voise in the wold and one of the best vocel coches
Put the volume up on the music.
6:09 chimes ;)
Right, thanks! 😁
I'm agreeing with the comment section, with Nightwish you need to feel the music not talk right through the song. Copyright yes you gotta pause not the entire song though. Aren't you supposed to feel the music when you're singing a song so you can the emotion of the song?? You can't do that if you talk right through it.
Any chance of you do a reaction to Nightwish's "The Greatest show on Earth" live at Tampere? You won't regret :D
Another symphonic metal band u should check out is Kamelot. Both singers are great, but I prefer the current singer Tommy.
"she could sing opera " he says
Floor:" hold my beer"
Mate check out "phantom of the opera she sings with Henk poort.....yeah , she can do opera
Well, "The Phantom Of The Opera" is a stage musical, not an opera, although she plays the part of an opera singer.
But Floor can and has sung opera, and is trained to do so.
@@phillee2814 Vilja Lied maybe?
