2nd Hand Souls band members react to Jarkko Ahola - Walking In The Air. Link to the original video: • Jarkko Ahola - Walking... Link to our channel: / @2ndhandsoulsmusic
A very popular song in Europe around Christmas time. Nightwish did a heavy version of it with their first singer, Tarja.I love Jarkkos deep tenor voice and was surprised how high he started this song. I found the movie "The Snowman" on TH-cam. it is only about 25 minutes long. The movie has no dialog. Maybe that is why it is so popular in Europe. No translations needed. There is one song in the middle of the movie (Walking in the Air) sung by a soprano from a boys choir. I guess that is why Jarkko starts so high. The movie also made the lyrics make sense to me(mighty monster). Many of the good singers do these projects in old cathedrals and churches because the acoustics are perfect for acoustic instruments and voices. Another one to listen to is Norwegian singer Aurora doing this same song in Nidarosdomen. Jarkko also sings periodically with a project group called the 4 Kings along with Marco from Nightwish. He sings and plays bass in a Finnish metal band that I cannot pronounce. Enjoyed the reaction. Check out more Jarkko.
@@JayTor2112 I have to agree. The thing is tho, that Jarkko has his own, quite prominent solo career, and I don't know if he would be prepared to make Nightwish his main focus. He might not share well with Floor on a long-term basis, so their choice of replacement has to be well considered. I think they are giving time for Jukka to settle in and be accepted fully by the fans before doing further work with him such as vocals. Tuomas would not want a repeat of 2007. So it's all in the approach.
I do prefer Nightwish version of this with Tarja, but this is really nice one.. Don't get me wrong, Jarkko is really great - Brings his own touch here, very beautiful🥰..💯 for you guys!
Yes! You're doin it! and Yay! I got a mention! You lovely bunch of people all made my day :D Thankyou for doing this request of him from us. Finns are so progressive and open-minded with their music. Jarkko is self-taught :) It's raining and blowing a lot here in NZ. Today you would have thought it was mid-Winter, not mid-Summer! I don't mind too much as I'm a Winter person, and it gets really hot here in Summer partly because of the Ozone hole over us. Thanks to environmental measures worldwide, the hole has reduced in size somewhat; as I understand it anyway. Ok, enough rambling, I will watch the reaction :D Thanks Tomakazi, you're awesome! Flipster you're just the best! :D If you want to hear Jarkko's range and power (that voice jumps from 0 to 200 in a nanosecond), then take a gander at this link below - th-cam.com/video/iR5m9GTTAnE/w-d-xo.html
@@Piia2023 Yes! I was amazed! I was in the midle of the comment and didn't want to lose it - I couldn't find your name to make sure I spelled it corectly, so I said instead, "from us" :) You were the one who made the request, which I wanted to support wholeheartedly. Thankyou for answering me directly :) Inciidentally, most all of my closest friends are from other countries. Some years ago, I created a UN Family from people I met and got on extremely well with, through an online strategy game. Two from Finland, one from Iceland, one from the Faroe Islands, and one from the Philippines. The Finns are both in Espoo, Finland. We have been family for over 15yrs now, and Eyji and his wife (from Iceland) came to see me here in New Zealand while on their Southern holiday tour. It was such a thrill to meet him, and his wife, who of course is now also in the Family :) They are all very dear to me, and I'm looking forward to going over to meet them all in the near future :)
@@SuperMoofie wow, that's amazing. I have been to New Zealand, wonderful country. Did go to Milford Sound, actually travelled through both island. Thanks for the support, hope they would do more Jarkko Ahola and not only this song.
There is even a version of this song on YT with Finnish lyrics sung by the band members of Northern Kings except Marko but with Tuomas' wife Johanna Kurkela instead. Also a very beautiful performance like this one.
Thanks for doing this :) He has no vocal training what's so ever. He had a heavyband called Teräsbetoni so he was known as a heavy singer. He sings everything from heavy to opera. You could check out Teräsbetoni or Northern Kings My Way or classical pieces like Adagio or Nessun Dorma.
Jarkko is the King! He is the male Floor! He can sing anything and everything. Heavy Jarkko - Church concert Jarkko, Opera Tenor Tour Jarkko....just name it, he will nail it!!
I think it is by Howard Blake originally but Nightwish did absolutely awesome style version in 2000 "From Wishes to Eternity" DVD and show. It is one of the most liked tunes for Tuomas.
To hear Jarkko's legendary heavy screams, perhaps try his metal band Teräsbetoni - Missä Miehet Ratsastaa (music video) th-cam.com/video/TheV9eBTT3Q/w-d-xo.html
Hello. Great reactions video. Jarkko Ahola is amazing. Anyway I think you should listen to this video too. This is Johanna Kurkela( Tuomas Holopainen`s wife), Jarkko Ahola, Tony Kakko and J.P. Leppäluoto version 0f Walking in the air (Finnish lyrics). th-cam.com/video/9neDIowyhaA/w-d-xo.html. This song titled Avaruus in Finnish.
Jarkko Ahola bridges the gap between metal and opera. His technique is specifically similar to world renown opera singer Jose Carreras. However he has never had a singing lesson.

Absolutely love his voice, flawless performance 😍
Very ethereal and moving. This was written by Howard Dean for a 1982 animated UK Christmas special. Stay safe, God bless, keep rocking.
After Marco left Nightwish, he was the person everyone was expecting(hoping) to take his place.
Jukka is great, but I would have liked this better. Having Floor and Troy share Marko's vocal parts isn't working for me.

Jarkko METAL GOD!

You've seen Jarkko before, in Northern Kings with Marko, Tony Kakko, and J.P. Leppaluoto

Originally a Nightwish song from the Tarja era
It wasn’t originally a NW song…

Could you react to Mika Jaakkola feat. Marko Hietala - Soita (Official Music Video)?
Thank you.

Yes 🤘
Or AHOLA band 😊♥️♥️
Teräsbetoni : Taivas lyö tulta ( jarkko ahola)
Oh yes...🤘
He sounds a bit like Max on the toilet. - High register at the critical moment……..
Maybe you should film that and put it on TH-cam. Than Max would really become famous. 😂😉
@@frank1963 good idea! Would you subscribe?😀
@@timchambers8230 I would create several accounts so I could have multiple subscription’s just to support Max. 🙌
