Best female( and most versatile) singer in the world period! and can you imagine that most people here in the netherlands( as she is dutch) found this really out in 2019( this was wacken 2013)?.. As she performed on dutch tv show beste zangers...all of her performances were amazing( and the faces of anazement of the fellow dutch singers priceless) she did it all, opera,pop, in german in dutch in english and even in spanish..with the highlight the best phantom of the opera performance ever she did with henk poort..you will be amazed check it out!
Most versatile? Maybe. Best? A very risky statement. She is good at everything, but against a top notch specialist of a certain style she would definitely lose. Let her sing the Queen of the night against Anna Netrebko, and I would bet on Anna. Let her sing the Phantom of the Opera against Sarah Brightman, and Sarah would win. And let her sing Wishwaster against Tarja, and Tarja would win.
@@Nikioko turn it around and then ask yourself, could all the performers you sum up do the same as floor. Hell no the cant. They are hooked in one style while floor can sing everthing. So compare to specialists is dumb as hell. So no pont taken . Show me each of them do the same at any style and do it better then floor you win. But i can tell you right now you loose big time. Btw my 2 cents on your topic.
@@TheGrimmReaper1 You obviously don't get the point and seemingly don't want to get it. I invited you to look for new horizons but you prefer to stay in familiar waters and claim to have seen the world although yyou know so little. "Floor can sing everything" is just a statement that can easily be denied. Just a drop in a lake. Sure she can do a lot, but by far she can't do everything. I really would like to listen to her singing in a vocal ensemble where she has to sing with 3, 5 or 7 other people. She has a very strong and dominant voice which is absolutely unsuitable for that. I heard from an opera choir director that the most difficult thing is to form 20 or 40 professionals to a unit. The stronger the vibrato, the bigger the difficulty. Another point: If you study music, or anything else, you eventually reach the point where you have to specialise. Just because other people work in that niche they have chosen doesn't mean that they can't do anything else. I recently heard in a video about a comparison with Pat Benatar. Well, Pat Banatar has her typical rock style of singing we know from the 80s, but she is also a studied opera singer like her mother. So, just because she doesn't sing opera doesn't mean she can't. There is a difference between what people can do and what they actually do. Floor does a lot and shows a lot, but there are also things she doesn't do. All these examples when she sings "operatic": Tarja is an opera singer singing the traditional style (though she took some pop lessons), Floor isn't. She sings something that sounds somewhat like opera but in fact isn't. Floor is more like a musical theatre cross-over singer like Sarah Brightman. I hope you know that The Phantom of the Opera isn't an opera but a musical. Voice is such an individual instrument that in the high end the technical differences are marginal but the individual anatomy maked them distinguishable. And finally you haven't understood Nightwish's song. In The Greatest Show on Earth, they quote Dawkins: "But who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton." And of course singers greater than Floor. She is truly a great singer but definitely not the best singer in the world. At least not by valid standards.
@@Nikioko hihihi. Unborn and then greater then. ???? Oh i know phantom is a musical.! And i didnt say floor is the greatest. Only she can do more then you give her credit for. She does almost every style. Rock. Opera. Metal, growls even dead growls. Jazz. I can see the way you write you haven't explore youtube in case of floor. And you are asuming that i am boxed in. And don't know jack sh.... There you flew out of the corner. Never mind i have my opinion and you yours. And i still stand by what i wrote before. Your long story didn't did prove or let me believe it in a other way.😉😉😉😉😉😂
Hello @ Rise Academy! Nightwish Army incoming here, your reaction just appeared on our radar.. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in Wacken Open Air 2013, in front of 82k+ metal fans. Your reaction speak for itself, you love it.. :) Since this is your first Nightwish experience, I'll give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan: " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core.

Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
Beste Zangers 2019, a Dutch show feat top Dutch artists who sing eachothers songs and songs that hold meaning to them to eachother reinterpreted ,Floor sings: Shallow,Vilja Lied,Winner ,Phantom of the Opera & more, you will then understand why she is so LOVED
@watashi Yeah I'm a pretty new nightwish fan and damn it makes up so much of Nightwish comment sections. I just avoid them now because I'm sick of hearing 'Tarja was better' or 'Floor is better'. Like come on it's been years and whether you like it or not, Floor is now part of the band. If you don't like it don't watch it. Go watch whoever you like and let us enjoy the music in peace.
This is LIVE. Almost at the end of a two hour gig. There are more even harder tunes after this. Seven years later she is sooooo much better. Congrats you have just experienced a Floorgasm! Welcome to the party
A lot of reacters don't give enough credit that this song was still flawless after over half their set already. And it wasn't originally written for her to sing, but she made it her own.
It's one ting to be able to sing something like this in a studio.. but to be able to perform like this on a live setting is something truly remarkable.
Floor is a metal singer who is trained in operatic singing not an opera singer dabbling in metal. She joined her first metal band,after forever, at 16. Nightwish's original lead singer Tarja was a opera singer who was friends at university(they were all studying music) with the Keyboardist Tuomas(who is the main songwriter)and the gutairist Emppu .
Not to knit pick, but the three were friends long before university. As a matter of fact Tuomas had to change the entire coarse for Nightwish after hearing Tarja sing upon returning from university and how different she sounded. Out with the mellow folk tunes, in with the symphonic metal!
The nice thing for a vocal coach reacting to Nightwish is, any performance from this Wacken show, the Wembley or Tampere ones in 2015 or the Buenos Aires one are fantastic and will cover a multitude of vocal techniques, range, syncopation, etc. you name it she sings it. Also she was on a TV show in her home country of the Netherlands called Beste Zingers, where she covered songs from other artists, in numerous music styles, from an aria, to a musical, to latin music, to Lady Gaga, etc. which are all fantastic. 😀
Actually she is not an Opera-Singer. It is the other way round. She was from the beginning a metal-singer and now is also doing some Opera-Stuff. She started with "After Forever" wich is also a Metal Band.
I have seen Nightwish 5 times and they are so good live there are no words in the English language. Have met them twice and they are all incredibly nice in person. When they tour again I will be the first to buy tickets. I really miss live concerts!
Greetings from Finland. Floor is not classically trained in the full meaning of the words. She only studied musical theater & opera part-time for two years, but quit because she wanted to have more freedom to experiment with her vocals & mix different styles of singing. She's also a vocal coach, but nowadays she's too busy with Nightwish & her other projects to practice any coaching. She's most likely the most versatile & talented female metal vocalist of our time.
what????? Holland here...Floor did the Rock academy and went to conservatory together with SIMONE SIMONS from Epica ( She studied classical/opera/musical music 6 years. Damn...get your facts straight.
@@monicacarolina6480 Maybe you should get your facts checked. Before Floor "revamped" her official site, she told in her biography on the old site that she only studied classical singing part time - first a year musical theater & after that also one year opera part time. This is also what Wikipedia says about her: "Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera", In one of her interviews on TH-cam she also tells the same story & says that she study classical singing more because she found that vocal technique too restrictive.
A little more then some training, I think at least two years of private tutoring at a classical conservatory while she was also studying at the first Rock Academy.
@@ChrisEchoes I don't think she really studied at the conservatory, rather, over the years,she privately worked with a teacher who taught at conservatory, specializing in musical theater, as needed. If you have not already, check out the commentary she recorded to go with Spotify playlist of Human Nature when it came up, i think it was called Metal Talks or something like that. I think that's the most detail I've heard her go into about her training. As for Rock Academy, she had said many times it was not quite adequate,, she was already with AF and was not getting what she needed. I think it's fair to say that she has very good fundamental all-around training and a ton of experience that enable her to be a versatile and effective performer.
Nightwish and Floor missing a note Try to find a song from Wacken, Wembley, Tampere or Beunos Aires and I thinh it would be hard to find one where they miss a note. Great reaction, want more? I made a little list. - Everdream (Wacken) - Storytime (Wacken) - Song of myself (Wacken) - Wish I had an angel (Wacken) - Last ride of the day (Wacken) - Nemo (Wacken) - Ghost River (Wacken) - 10Th man down (Buenos Aires) - Dead boys poem (Buenos Aires) - Devil and the deep dark ocean (Buenos Aires) - Slaying the dreamer (Buenos Aires) - Shudder before the beautiful (Wembley) - Yours is a emtpy hope (Wembley) - Weak Fantasy (Tampere) - The poet and the pendulum (Wembley) -The greatest show on earth (Tampere) - Sleeping Sun (Tampere) their complete new album Human : Nature (in order) Please check out Beste Zangers where you can hear more of the versatilty of Floor - Vilja (German) - Que se siente (Spanisch) - Mama (Dutch) - Winner - Shallow (solo) - Shallow (duet with Tim Akkerman) - Phantom of the Opera (Duet with Henk Poort, the original Dutch Phantom in the 90's) Looking forward to them.
FYI: There were 82,000+ in the audience that night. GLS 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. Floor Jansen 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, when she was 32. Starting from the age of 16 she had been the lead singer in two other S. Metal Bands, 'After Forever' & 'Revamp' before joining NW. Those goosebumps and chills are known as 'Floorgasms' to NW fans.
Hey Tina you see a glimpse of a great metal band and blessed Floor. Three vocalist in my life have brought me to tears with their singing . Floor was the first . Its her conviction how she puts all in. Very expressive. I recommended this song a ways back cuz i had a notion you would appreciate all aspects of this band. Glad you liked it. Best regards from USA
Tuomas, keyboard, is not a songwriter - he is a composer, and one of the worlds best currently - this is a well-known fact. Therefore, don't ever use fast forward or skip something in transitions, build-ups or between chapters - you will miss points. Nightwish are 6 extremely pro musicians, from Tuomas acknowledged as one of the best composers in the world - to Floor, acknowledged as the greatest, most powerful, versatile female singer currently in the world - she is a voice nerd, who develops her own voice techniques, and she has also incredible dialog with the audience. There are two other really really pro singers in the band, and together those 3 are unique on the Symphonic Metal scene today. You might be ready for The Poet and the Pendulum, Wembley 2015 - to discover real magic. And do not dare pause it!! 🤘🤘🤘
i love them the same as you maybe more :) but you have to calm down you will scare people away with this childish fanboy radicalism ... i hope you are not over 16 years old lmao
Hiya from New Zealand :) Other way round :) Floor started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She has done a year of operatic training, and also studied theatre. She has studied hard, and it shows. Incredible. They all are.
I saw the band now 10 times live from 2002 til now. My tickets for the show in Amsterdam next November are in the pocket ..i also meet the band serveral times at backstage.
Woohoo, thank you Tina, that was great. I would love to see Nightwish in concert, (of course) and my last live show was seeing Jinjer at The Zoo in Brisbane, March 7th, just as this Pandemic was about to shut everything down.
1. never skip at nightwish 2. never stop a nightwish song before its end pausing maybe ok but not stop and end it 3. if u want more frontwoman of metal check epica, within temptation, lacuna coil, amaranthe, unleashe the archers, halestorm and arch enemy out.
Floor isn't a female opera singer who dabbled into rock and heavy metal. It's the other way round. She first studied 3 years at the Fonteyn Rock Academy in Tilburg, the Netherlands followed by 2 years classical training and theatre at the Fonteyn Conservatory for music and performing arts, also in Tilburg.
I live in Austin, TX - Live music capital of the world (not sure if we still hold the Guinness record of the most live performances per night) and yes... I miss live music!
Nightwish Live at Wacken Open Air 2013 🎶🎶🎶 Epic concert! 🎶🎶🎶 Next to react: Storytime, Ever Dream, Romanticide, Ghost River, Song of Myself, Dark Chest of Wonders ... Last Ride of the Day Setlist: 1. Dark Chest of Wonders, 2. Wish I Had an Angel, 3. She is My Sin, 4. Ghost River, 5. Ever Dream, 6. Storytime, 7. I Want My Tears Back, 8. Nemo, 9. Last of the Wilds, 10. Bless the Child, 11. Romanticide, 12. Amaranth, 13. Ghost Love Score, 14. Song of Myself, 15. Last Ride of the Day Audience in this concert was 82 000.
I want to see Sabaton live, Hannes, the drummer is married to Floor. Its a swedish power metal band and their song is always about historical battles and so on.
The background sound in your video? Two possibilities. 1. You are very small and live in an industrial vacuum cleaner. 2. Your home is at the business end of an international airport. Very good despite the extra diegetics.
A funfact is that the previous singer was ill during a concert in Denver. Two vocalist from Camelot jumped in and did the concert holding papers in their hand with the lyric, but after that they asked Floor if she could help the band. Problem was.. she had 48 hours to learn the whole setup with lyrics and so before the first concert.. and nailed it :) And please react to Sabaton ;)
The Nightwish army is a pretty cool and friendly bunch. But by cutting past the break they took you missed the entire point of the buildup and then you cut the ending off. Not a fan. And im sure you will hear that from other than me. But there´s room for improvement in future Nightwish songs. Just saying ;) Other than that i really liked your reaction to our Valkyrie Godess :)
Great reaction. As you can see, Nightwish has some rabidly fanatical fans. When we get a little defensive, just skip the comment. Skip, pause, comment over as you need. We all own the song, so if we want to hear it uninterrupted, we can pull up our own playlists, like mature adults. A good reaction is one without any preconceptions of the song, artists, and band history, and you gave us exactly that. Thank you!
Jansen it's amazing, she sing operatic , belt, head voice, and she can growl ... I suggested Storytime , Song of myself or Yours is an empty hope ... Nice day.
For more of the classical-modern mix, please have a listen to Epica. I nominate "Consign to oblivion", this is from early in their career, in 2006, when the singer probably put more emphasis on the classical style than she does now. th-cam.com/video/30xdo4VX2xA/w-d-xo.html
lol i ve watched a ton of reactions to this song. none of those reactors has skipped the interlude that rude into the middle of the rest of the song. Very disappointing! Did you just say "girl" to Floor? .... i guess that would be a major offense if a man/boy would have said the same thing! 😤
If you want to watch entire performances uncut then watching reaction vids isn't the place to go as copyright act makes this type of thing necessary, just watch the complete vid on their own channel and quit moaning.
It is with love and empathy that I say: a reaction vid can be expected to have pauses in which reactions can be given. Cuts and skips are something else: like in Monty Python: "skip a bit brother" i.e. "not interesting" or "my attention span isn't that long"; or the presumed attention span of the viewers isn't! I think it is a pity that the song as a unity, a given atmosphere is sacrificed with that. Fans can be thrown out of the happy experience... However, it is her choice.
@@benbermusicsI totally agree music should be uninterrupted without horrible skips it is an insult to the composer and performers. Pauses are not so bad as you still get the benefit of the composition in the way it was written and intended.
@@bleaksnatcher Agreed. I fear we, the subscribers, are part of the problem. In our requests we are hyping singers like Floor to vocal coaches/professional singers to react on them. Together we tend to put an over focus on the tricks a vocalist can do - because she is great! E.g. phenomenal reach! From that point it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy... Things beside the singing and the tricks become obligatory surroundings and can be sacrificed because they are not what it's all about. Floor stands her ground but her delivering of "tricks" is always serving to express the lyrics and feel of the song. In this, she cannot flourish without the band members and you can feel their mutual appreciation. We, the fans, love this glorious mixture. It is totally different from solo global stars like Dimash. They go on stage to deliver acrobacy. For me the ears register but my heart is not reached... I think all in all this was a positive reaction and I appreciate her very much, especially for speaking out in the racial problems now erupting all over USA.
@@benbermusics Absolutely, well said. Floor is possibly the best female vocalist at the moment but without the structure of the other parts it will be as a comparison studying the Mona Lisa with a great big strip of it removed across the middle.
Them being symphonic metal allows them to take their music in several different directions. They have the long epic multipart full production type songs like Ghost Love Score, The Poet and the Pendulum or The Greatest Show on Earth.. Then they have several of the more classic thrash heavy metal style songs like Romanticide, Song of Myself or Dark Chest of Wonders.. They even have a very celtic rock sound going on in songs like E'lan or My Walden.. You chose, but the Nightwish Army loves it all..
I noticed that you were amazed by the ending. You were as Nightwish fans called, "Floorgasm". I know that you run a singing and music academy because I mentioned that is Floor Jansen is also a vocal coach too. By the way, Floor Jansen has her own TH-cam channel. You probably subscribe to her channel and talk shop plus about Nightwish.
Hello Tina - First let me say that I appreciate all your efforts in reacting to all styles of music and think you did a great job. When it comes to Nightwish don’t worry about the length of the video. Some songs of there’s are long by just about anyone’s standards others are not but that is part of the journey and Thomas’s (composer) musical thought. Even if you choose not to publicly react to more songs I highly in courage you to dive deeper into there catalog as a musician I think you would appreciate the musicianship of all the artists. To the community... I am new here so could someone explain to me why this reaction has, at the time I’m typing this 103 negatives. Is it because Tina decided to skip a little of the interlude? If this is the case I would remind all of you who are angry that this is a vocal coach reaction channel and there will be pauses and skips. If you wish to listen to the song without stops and skips I suggest you go to the official Nightwish TH-cam channel. On the other hand if it is simply because this isn’t your kind of music I can respect that but music is defined as: vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. I believe Music in all it’s forms should be appreciated because like the definition says it expresses our emotions even if we can’t. Something to think about: Think of all your major life moment’s... How many of those moments involved music in some way. Of those moments that involved music how many styles...
I miss seeing live music too! I use to go a couple times a month to a club to see live bands. I actually have tickets (that were postponed) to see Jinjer and another concert in Vegas with Scorpions and Queensryche. I'm hoping at some point I'll be able to see them. I'm betting on it by not asking for a refund in fear that tickets will double or more when this pandemic is over.
The comment on her Xena warrior outfit was spot on. It was her nickname, her friends nickname was Gabriel (Simone Simons) She is the leas singer of the band Epica The guitarist of that band used to play in the same band as Floor Jansen. Floor did a quest performance with Epica th-cam.com/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/w-d-xo.html
My apologies if I misunderstood you, but are you saying that people around Floor and Simone gave them those nicknames? I thought it was a fan community thing.
Tina, you just made tears well up in my eyes and I haven't even heard your critique yet !! Thank you, thank you, you've given me something to look forward to, even if you don't like it !! 😉😉
Nightwish are my favourite band, but beware the intolerant fans who don't like skipping bits of the song. They probably won't like the Evanescence comparison either, although one of their albums sold more copies than the whole discography of Nightwish. Glad you liked the song, this whole concert is a masterclass of live performance 🤘
Thanks @slash1971 Unfortunately I cannot create a reaction to everyone's taste and that is ok. However, projecting negativity across a channel that promotes positivity and the love of all music is not something that will be welcome on this page. It's the old school saying that if you have nothing nice or constructive to say, don't say it at all.
Nightwish has grown steadily like in metal it usually is. They are one of biggest European bands of their generation now after 24 years. Evanescence has very different story. Their biggest success came right after their debut album. It was the time in early 2000's when alternative rock/metal and nu metal was very popular. Linkin Park's debut album also came out back then and was huge success.
I would assume that most of us love Evanescence and Ami Lee (have an album and blueray), although Floor Jansen / Nightwish are unmatched esp. when it comes to live performances; btw. the amount of sold albums does not say anything at all about the quality.
Amy Lee? This was a league above Amy Lee. ;-) It is funny that it seems that in the US people only know Evanascence. In Europe, there are many symphonic metal bands with a female singer: Epica, The Gathering, Within Temptation, Haggard, Rhapsody of Fire, Therion, Xandria, Delain etc. You might want to listen to one of these. And most of these bands are either from Sweden, Finland, Germany or the Netherlands.
Wow coach 156 thumbs down ? I know none of them are Army members. I'm sorry so many of your regulars didn't like it. Thanks for the honest reaction, glad at least you liked it. Don't be shy about doing other Nightwish songs. You will enjoy ( being a coach ) her clear and clean vowels when she goes high and the amazing breath control.The Band is Tight, the Vocals are Great.......156 ?
Prepare for an onslaught of comments from the Nightwish Army. Wonderful to see people still just now finding Nightwish. All three of their leads have been impressive in their own way. You should probably rush to check them all out. You won't be disappointed.
Floor Jansen started singing in rock bands when she was 16 You might like this from a Dutch TV show floorJansen phantom of the opera beste zangers 2019
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 Sweet!!!! 😁 I recommend Song of Myself from this same show. And as every piece of these songs are composed pieces (especially the backing tracks) you really rob yourself if you skip any parts, especially on their few longer songs. Just want to make sure you're aware so you can get the full experience!!!! 😉🤘🤘 And hello from Northern California!!!! 😁✌
Nice, very nice reaction. I hope to see Nightwish live in november Amsterdam this year but now with this pandemy world wild. Luckely I saw Floor live last february.
Actually, Floor's had very little (year or two at most) straight opera training, and has said it's not her favorite style. Even in this song, she doesn't really do much of it. Check out the Tampere '15 version of Stargazers or Villa Leid from Beste Zangers to see her go "full" opera. Oh, and as for the G3 & Guthrie Govan shoutouts...um, will you marry me hahaha? Guthrie is an amazing players (same with Satch, Vai, and Lukather). I've seen a couple of the G3 shows over the years...they're always great. Saw Vai on his last tour...great show, but *crushingly* loud. I usually don't use ear plugs, but I was wishing I had 'em for that show. I didn't get a pick from Steve, but I did snag a drumstick from Jeremy Colson \m/
for vocally really challengin stuff, listen the Nightwish new album Human Nature. Would be nice to have more reactions for this Wacken 2013 concert. Every song is golden. Rock musical type of song try: Ghostriver. More heavier stuff try: Romanticide. More celtic wipe try: I want my tears back.
Imo she is not an opera singer she is a clasicly trained metal vocalist. If you watch "Your's an empty hope" from Nightwish or Disdain from Revamp you will see the difference.

Some of these comments are hilarious!! Self appointed Nightwish ambassadors, how to instructions for someone else's channel and complaining about skipping a time fill which is ear candy to me, but not part of a voice reaction obviously. If everyone was as smart as these people the world would be a better place.... All that nonsense aside, I enjoyed this reaction and I like watching you when you enjoy a song, it is a treat for me. I love this song and have seen dozens of reactions to it and watched the video on its own several times. These guys are great musicians, and Floor Jansen is an excellent singer. I don't know off hand any current live performances I would like to see, but if I could turn back time, I would love to see Pink Floyd, Boston, Rush, Tears For Fears, or the Alan Parsons Project live. I could go on and on with the list, but those are the top bands that come to mind at the moment. Stay safe out there and thanks for sharing this reaction!
The buildup right at the point was the beginning of the next act. So much tension in the way she walked out after the beat kicked back in the following shot just before she begins to again sing...and you missed it, and we missed your reaction to it. Tragic.
To quote someone else, “Most signers sing what they can or feel comfortable with. Floor sings what she wants!”
Daniel Ferreira..was that Tim Crist? Just curious?
This is from Wacken 2013. All songs from that show are awesome. I suggest - Storytime, Song of Myself, Ghost River from that concert.
Amy Lee is a mouse compared to the dragon that is Floor.
Best female( and most versatile) singer in the world period! and can you imagine that most people here in the netherlands( as she is dutch) found this really out in 2019( this was wacken 2013)?.. As she performed on dutch tv show beste zangers...all of her performances were amazing( and the faces of anazement of the fellow dutch singers priceless) she did it all, opera,pop, in german in dutch in english and even in spanish..with the highlight the best phantom of the opera performance ever she did with henk poort..you will be amazed check it out!
Ahmen
Most versatile? Maybe. Best? A very risky statement. She is good at everything, but against a top notch specialist of a certain style she would definitely lose. Let her sing the Queen of the night against Anna Netrebko, and I would bet on Anna. Let her sing the Phantom of the Opera against Sarah Brightman, and Sarah would win. And let her sing Wishwaster against Tarja, and Tarja would win.
@@Nikioko turn it around and then ask yourself, could all the performers you sum up do the same as floor. Hell no the cant. They are hooked in one style while floor can sing everthing. So compare to specialists is dumb as hell. So no pont taken . Show me each of them do the same at any style and do it better then floor you win. But i can tell you right now you loose big time. Btw my 2 cents on your topic.
@@TheGrimmReaper1 You obviously don't get the point and seemingly don't want to get it. I invited you to look for new horizons but you prefer to stay in familiar waters and claim to have seen the world although yyou know so little. "Floor can sing everything" is just a statement that can easily be denied. Just a drop in a lake.
Sure she can do a lot, but by far she can't do everything. I really would like to listen to her singing in a vocal ensemble where she has to sing with 3, 5 or 7 other people. She has a very strong and dominant voice which is absolutely unsuitable for that. I heard from an opera choir director that the most difficult thing is to form 20 or 40 professionals to a unit. The stronger the vibrato, the bigger the difficulty.
Another point: If you study music, or anything else, you eventually reach the point where you have to specialise. Just because other people work in that niche they have chosen doesn't mean that they can't do anything else. I recently heard in a video about a comparison with Pat Benatar. Well, Pat Banatar has her typical rock style of singing we know from the 80s, but she is also a studied opera singer like her mother. So, just because she doesn't sing opera doesn't mean she can't. There is a difference between what people can do and what they actually do.
Floor does a lot and shows a lot, but there are also things she doesn't do. All these examples when she sings "operatic": Tarja is an opera singer singing the traditional style (though she took some pop lessons), Floor isn't. She sings something that sounds somewhat like opera but in fact isn't. Floor is more like a musical theatre cross-over singer like Sarah Brightman. I hope you know that The Phantom of the Opera isn't an opera but a musical. Voice is such an individual instrument that in the high end the technical differences are marginal but the individual anatomy maked them distinguishable.
And finally you haven't understood Nightwish's song. In The Greatest Show on Earth, they quote Dawkins:
"But who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara.
Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton." And of course singers greater than Floor.
She is truly a great singer but definitely not the best singer in the world. At least not by valid standards.
@@Nikioko hihihi. Unborn and then greater then. ???? Oh i know phantom is a musical.! And i didnt say floor is the greatest. Only she can do more then you give her credit for. She does almost every style. Rock. Opera. Metal, growls even dead growls. Jazz. I can see the way you write you haven't explore youtube in case of floor. And you are asuming that i am boxed in. And don't know jack sh....
There you flew out of the corner. Never mind i have my opinion and you yours.
And i still stand by what i wrote before.
Your long story didn't did prove or let me believe it in a other way.😉😉😉😉😉😂
Hello @ Rise Academy! Nightwish Army incoming here, your reaction just appeared on our radar..
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in Wacken Open Air 2013, in front of 82k+ metal fans. Your reaction speak for itself, you love it.. :)
Since this is your first Nightwish experience, I'll give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan:
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "

@@Marco-Conner We were here :)
On point as always :-)
Thank you
Aww, you skipped over the most epic re-entrance edit after the intermission!
Right! Can NEVER skip a second with Nightwish. It's always a full show with every song.
I wasted my time for nothing...!
She skipped London Philharmonic Orchestra 🙄🎶🎶🎶😅🤯
Major foul skipping ahead in this masterpiece.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!!!! YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beste Zangers 2019, a Dutch show feat top Dutch artists who sing eachothers songs and songs that hold meaning to them to eachother reinterpreted ,Floor sings: Shallow,Vilja Lied,Winner ,Phantom of the Opera & more, you will then understand why she is so LOVED
I know you gotta do you, but that was dang near a cardinal sin to skip ahead in a Nightwish song 😳😁
Saw in the background
Sounded like an airport in the background
Prepare yourself for the Nightwish army. Do not be scared though, they are an incredibly friendly community
Look forward to meeting them :)
I think the community is too much comparing the (formal-)singers
I think army is great word for us. Floor is real commander
@watashi Yeah I'm a pretty new nightwish fan and damn it makes up so much of Nightwish comment sections. I just avoid them now because I'm sick of hearing 'Tarja was better' or 'Floor is better'. Like come on it's been years and whether you like it or not, Floor is now part of the band. If you don't like it don't watch it. Go watch whoever you like and let us enjoy the music in peace.
@@extraphobic7710 That argument was solved many months ago. Best singer of Nightwish is Marco.

@@RiseAcademyofMusic I hope you didn't watch it off camera first :]
This is LIVE. Almost at the end of a two hour gig. There are more even harder tunes after this. Seven years later she is sooooo much better. Congrats you have just experienced a Floorgasm! Welcome to the party
A lot of reacters don't give enough credit that this song was still flawless after over half their set already. And it wasn't originally written for her to sing, but she made it her own.
It's one ting to be able to sing something like this in a studio.. but to be able to perform like this on a live setting is something truly remarkable.
Floor is a metal singer who is trained in operatic singing not an opera singer dabbling in metal. She joined her first metal band,after forever, at 16.
Nightwish's original lead singer Tarja was a opera singer who was friends at university(they were all studying music) with the Keyboardist Tuomas(who is the main songwriter)and the gutairist Emppu .
Not to knit pick, but the three were friends long before university. As a matter of fact Tuomas had to change the entire coarse for Nightwish after hearing Tarja sing upon returning from university and how different she sounded. Out with the mellow folk tunes, in with the symphonic metal!
EPICA WITH SANCTA TERRA (with floor jansen as guest singer ) THATS AMAZING .
Ι second that!!!!
The nice thing for a vocal coach reacting to Nightwish is, any performance from this Wacken show, the Wembley or Tampere ones in 2015 or the Buenos Aires one are fantastic and will cover a multitude of vocal techniques, range, syncopation, etc. you name it she sings it. Also she was on a TV show in her home country of the Netherlands called Beste Zingers, where she covered songs from other artists, in numerous music styles, from an aria, to a musical, to latin music, to Lady Gaga, etc. which are all fantastic. 😀
Actually she is not an Opera-Singer. It is the other way round. She was from the beginning a metal-singer and now is also doing some Opera-Stuff. She started with "After Forever" wich is also a Metal Band.
Ish, not sure if the classical training or metal bands came first.. ^^
@@Terrorain The classical training came first but became a blend very early in her classical studies
@@AlexAmez well, she went to "Rock Academy", that is not focused on classical training.
@@ingobordewick6480 She then went to the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later where she studied musical theater and opera.
I have seen Nightwish 5 times and they are so good live there are no words in the English language. Have met them twice and they are all incredibly nice in person. When they tour again I will be the first to buy tickets. I really miss live concerts!
Greetings from Finland. Floor is not classically trained in the full meaning of the words. She only studied musical theater & opera part-time for two years, but quit because she wanted to have more freedom to experiment with her vocals & mix different styles of singing. She's also a vocal coach, but nowadays she's too busy with Nightwish & her other projects to practice any coaching. She's most likely the most versatile & talented female metal vocalist of our time.
Yes.
what????? Holland here...Floor did the Rock academy and went to conservatory together with SIMONE SIMONS from Epica ( She studied classical/opera/musical music 6 years. Damn...get your facts straight.
@@monicacarolina6480 Maybe you should get your facts checked. Before Floor "revamped" her official site, she told in her biography on the old site that she only studied classical singing part time - first a year musical theater & after that also one year opera part time. This is also what Wikipedia says about her: "Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera",
In one of her interviews on TH-cam she also tells the same story & says that she study classical singing more because she found that vocal technique too restrictive.
@@tarmotyyri6733 Still, she was trained for six years or eight, don't remember, by a musical theatre teacher during those years.
It's more the other way around, actually - a rock/metal singer with some operatic ability and training)))
A little more then some training, I think at least two years of private tutoring at a classical conservatory while she was also studying at the first Rock Academy.
ChrisEchoes - around a year of two of classical tutoring counts as very little as far as classical goes, it takes years and years of training usually
@@ChrisEchoes I don't think she really studied at the conservatory, rather, over the years,she privately worked with a teacher who taught at conservatory, specializing in musical theater, as needed. If you have not already, check out the commentary she recorded to go with Spotify playlist of Human Nature when it came up, i think it was called Metal Talks or something like that. I think that's the most detail I've heard her go into about her training. As for Rock Academy, she had said many times it was not quite adequate,, she was already with AF and was not getting what she needed. I think it's fair to say that she has very good fundamental all-around training and a ton of experience that enable her to be a versatile and effective performer.
@@npinjest7779 No, she actually did attend the conservatory.
@@jamescurfman3284 I did not think she was enrolled in a course of study, but rather took some classes. I could be wrong.
Nightwish and Floor missing a note
Try to find a song from Wacken, Wembley, Tampere or Beunos Aires and I thinh it would be hard to find one where they miss a note.

👍🏻🤘🏻
you hardly will even catch floor taking a breath
@@torsten.breswald Perfect breath control and core support, she knows what she's doing and admits to being a vocal nerd.
FYI: There were 82,000+ in the audience that night. GLS 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. Floor Jansen 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, when she was 32. Starting from the age of 16 she had been the lead singer in two other S. Metal Bands, 'After Forever' & 'Revamp' before joining NW. Those goosebumps and chills are known as 'Floorgasms' to NW fans.
Hey Tina you see a glimpse of a great metal band and blessed Floor. Three vocalist in my life have brought me to tears with their singing . Floor was the first . Its her conviction how she puts all in. Very expressive. I recommended this song a ways back cuz i had a notion you would appreciate all aspects of this band. Glad you liked it. Best regards from USA
Tuomas, keyboard, is not a songwriter - he is a composer, and one of the worlds best currently - this is a well-known fact. Therefore, don't ever use fast forward or skip something in transitions, build-ups or between chapters - you will miss points. Nightwish are 6 extremely pro musicians, from Tuomas acknowledged as one of the best composers in the world - to Floor, acknowledged as the greatest, most powerful, versatile female singer currently in the world - she is a voice nerd, who develops her own voice techniques, and she has also incredible dialog with the audience. There are two other really really pro singers in the band, and together those 3 are unique on the Symphonic Metal scene today.
You might be ready for The Poet and the Pendulum, Wembley 2015 - to discover real magic.
And do not dare pause it!! 🤘🤘🤘
A bit aggressive, don't you think?
i love them the same as you maybe more :) but you have to calm down you will scare people away with this childish fanboy radicalism ... i hope you are not over 16 years old lmao
Hiya from New Zealand :) Other way round :) Floor started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She has done a year of operatic training, and also studied theatre. She has studied hard, and it shows. Incredible. They all are.
I saw the band now 10 times live from 2002 til now. My tickets for the show in Amsterdam next November are in the pocket ..i also meet the band serveral times at backstage.
That is amazing!
Respect.
Woohoo, thank you Tina, that was great.
I would love to see Nightwish in concert, (of course) and my last live show was seeing Jinjer at The Zoo in Brisbane, March 7th, just as this Pandemic was about to shut everything down.
1. never skip at nightwish 2. never stop a nightwish song before its end pausing maybe ok but not stop and end it 3. if u want more frontwoman of metal check epica, within temptation, lacuna coil, amaranthe, unleashe the archers, halestorm and arch enemy out.
EVERY song from that show is amazing!!!!!!
I think Floor is rather metal singer with opera training, than opera singer that dived into metal
this video is full of beauty: beautiful song, beautiful performance, beautiful Floor and beautiful You :) Thanks for good mood!
YOU ROCK!!! Ignore the haters and You do You!!!!
Was planning on going to several events, but they got cancelled. Jinjer, the Hu, and Devin Townsend.
Floor is just amazing. That was a great video 👏🏻
Floor isn't a female opera singer who dabbled into rock and heavy metal. It's the other way round. She first studied 3 years at the Fonteyn Rock Academy in Tilburg, the Netherlands followed by 2 years classical training and theatre at the Fonteyn Conservatory for music and performing arts, also in Tilburg.
You have just experienced "floorplay" and your first "floorgasm." Welcome to the light. \m/ \m/
I live in Austin, TX - Live music capital of the world (not sure if we still hold the Guinness record of the most live performances per night) and yes... I miss live music!
👏👏👏
Loved it
Nightwish Live at Wacken Open Air 2013 🎶🎶🎶 Epic concert! 🎶🎶🎶 Next to react: Storytime, Ever Dream, Romanticide, Ghost River, Song of Myself, Dark Chest of Wonders ... Last Ride of the Day

10. Bless the Child, 11. Romanticide, 12. Amaranth, 13. Ghost Love Score, 14. Song of Myself, 15. Last Ride of the Day
Audience in this concert was 82 000.
I want to see Sabaton live, Hannes, the drummer is married to Floor. Its a swedish power metal band and their song is always about historical battles and so on.
The background sound in your video? Two possibilities. 1. You are very small and live in an industrial vacuum cleaner. 2. Your home is at the business end of an international airport. Very good despite the extra diegetics.
A funfact is that the previous singer was ill during a concert in Denver. Two vocalist from Camelot jumped in and did the concert holding papers in their hand with the lyric, but after that they asked Floor if she could help the band. Problem was.. she had 48 hours to learn the whole setup with lyrics and so before the first concert.. and nailed it :)
And please react to Sabaton ;)
Loved the reaction. Please react to Nightwish's Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean live in Buenos Aires next time ;)
The Nightwish army is a pretty cool and friendly bunch. But by cutting past the break they took you missed the entire point of the buildup and then you cut the ending off. Not a fan. And im sure you will hear that from other than me. But there´s room for improvement in future Nightwish songs. Just saying ;) Other than that i really liked your reaction to our Valkyrie Godess :)
Great reaction. As you can see, Nightwish has some rabidly fanatical fans. When we get a little defensive, just skip the comment. Skip, pause, comment over as you need. We all own the song, so if we want to hear it uninterrupted, we can pull up our own playlists, like mature adults. A good reaction is one without any preconceptions of the song, artists, and band history, and you gave us exactly that. Thank you!
Much appreciated for your comment Brindle, thank you 😊
Floor is the best female singer 🤘🤘
Jansen it's amazing, she sing operatic , belt, head voice, and she can growl ... I suggested Storytime , Song of myself or Yours is an empty hope ... Nice day.
Try Rajaton, "Butterfly" (live), an a cappella group from Finland.
You are a beautiful reaction!! To me, your lips are the most beautiful reaction of this reaction! Very beautiful reaction!!
Thank you!!!
Their entire Wacken 2013 is legendary on par with Metallica in Moscow and Queen at Live Aid.
I would love to see Nightwish in concert
As someone who went to see live music 5 nights a week every week yeah I miss it and the folks I go out with
The fact that you shout out Guthrie and the Aristocrats is awesome. Extremely underrated band, arguably the most talented prog trio right now.
Completely agree! You may like the band XYZ too, let me know what you think!
Miss it more than you can imagine I help out 2 local bands here in Jacksonville FL and I'm dying for a gig
Will definitely go to see Faun and Van Canto when they play near us. Both are amazing live
For more of the classical-modern mix, please have a listen to Epica. I nominate "Consign to oblivion", this is from early in their career, in 2006, when the singer probably put more emphasis on the classical style than she does now. th-cam.com/video/30xdo4VX2xA/w-d-xo.html
lol i ve watched a ton of reactions to this song. none of those reactors has skipped the interlude that rude into the middle of the rest of the song. Very disappointing!
Did you just say "girl" to Floor? .... i guess that would be a major offense if a man/boy would have said the same thing! 😤
If you want to watch entire performances uncut then watching reaction vids isn't the place to go as copyright act makes this type of thing necessary, just watch the complete vid on their own channel and quit moaning.
It is with love and empathy that I say: a reaction vid can be expected to have pauses in which reactions can be given. Cuts and skips are something else: like in Monty Python: "skip a bit brother" i.e. "not interesting" or "my attention span isn't that long"; or the presumed attention span of the viewers isn't! I think it is a pity that the song as a unity, a given atmosphere is sacrificed with that. Fans can be thrown out of the happy experience... However, it is her choice.
@@benbermusicsI totally agree music should be uninterrupted without horrible skips it is an insult to the composer and performers. Pauses are not so bad as you still get the benefit of the composition in the way it was written and intended.
@@bleaksnatcher Agreed. I fear we, the subscribers, are part of the problem. In our requests we are hyping singers like Floor to vocal coaches/professional singers to react on them. Together we tend to put an over focus on the tricks a vocalist can do - because she is great! E.g. phenomenal reach!
From that point it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy...
Things beside the singing and the tricks become obligatory surroundings and can be sacrificed because they are not what it's all about.
Floor stands her ground but her delivering of "tricks" is always serving to express the lyrics and feel of the song. In this, she cannot flourish without the band members and you can feel their mutual appreciation. We, the fans, love this glorious mixture. It is totally different from solo global stars like Dimash. They go on stage to deliver acrobacy. For me the ears register but my heart is not reached...
I think all in all this was a positive reaction and I appreciate her very much, especially for speaking out in the racial problems now erupting all over USA.
@@benbermusics Absolutely, well said. Floor is possibly the best female vocalist at the moment but without the structure of the other parts it will be as a comparison studying the Mona Lisa with a great big strip of it removed across the middle.
Them being symphonic metal allows them to take their music in several different directions. They have the long epic multipart full production type songs like Ghost Love Score, The Poet and the Pendulum or The Greatest Show on Earth.. Then they have several of the more classic thrash heavy metal style songs like Romanticide, Song of Myself or Dark Chest of Wonders.. They even have a very celtic rock sound going on in songs like E'lan or My Walden.. You chose, but the Nightwish Army loves it all..
Would give my left arm to see them live
Also, sounds like either a vacuum cleaner or plane in the background
I think in Aussie English it's known as a hoover.
@@EnglishLad Nothing sucks like a Hoover!
I noticed that you were amazed by the ending. You were as Nightwish fans called, "Floorgasm". I know that you run a singing and music academy because I mentioned that is Floor Jansen is also a vocal coach too. By the way, Floor Jansen has her own TH-cam channel. You probably subscribe to her channel and talk shop plus about Nightwish.
Hello Tina - First let me say that I appreciate all your efforts in reacting to all styles of music and think you did a great job. When it comes to Nightwish don’t worry about the length of the video. Some songs of there’s are long by just about anyone’s standards others are not but that is part of the journey and Thomas’s (composer) musical thought. Even if you choose not to publicly react to more songs I highly in courage you to dive deeper into there catalog as a musician I think you would appreciate the musicianship of all the artists. To the community... I am new here so could someone explain to me why this reaction has, at the time I’m typing this 103 negatives. Is it because Tina decided to skip a little of the interlude? If this is the case I would remind all of you who are angry that this is a vocal coach reaction channel and there will be pauses and skips. If you wish to listen to the song without stops and skips I suggest you go to the official Nightwish TH-cam channel. On the other hand if it is simply because this isn’t your kind of music I can respect that but music is defined as: vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. I believe Music in all it’s forms should be appreciated because like the definition says it expresses our emotions even if we can’t. Something to think about: Think of all your major life moment’s... How many of those moments involved music in some way. Of those moments that involved music how many styles...

Saw Nightwish live in Germany November 2018. An Evening i will never forget
I miss seeing live music too! I use to go a couple times a month to a club to see live bands. I actually have tickets (that were postponed) to see Jinjer and another concert in Vegas with Scorpions and Queensryche. I'm hoping at some point I'll be able to see them. I'm betting on it by not asking for a refund in fear that tickets will double or more when this pandemic is over.
The comment on her Xena warrior outfit was spot on. It was her nickname, her friends nickname was Gabriel (Simone Simons) She is the leas singer of the band Epica The guitarist of that band used to play in the same band as Floor Jansen.
Floor did a quest performance with Epica th-cam.com/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/w-d-xo.html
My apologies if I misunderstood you, but are you saying that people around Floor and Simone gave them those nicknames? I thought it was a fan community thing.
Had tickets to both Devin Townsend and Jinjer but they were cancelled and want to see them! I saw Opeth a month before everything was shut down.
cant wait to see her cover
Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session) now there a woman with some crazy vocals and is rock/heavy metal for you ;)
Just because she said Guthrie I will suscribe to her
I would have loves To been there. They just released an album during Covid. I want to see them.
Highly recommend "Romanticide" from this same concert. It showcases a bit different style for Floor and the band - it's awesome.
Waiting (im)patiently 😊😊😊😊
Is the background noise Harley motorcycles going by?
Tina, you just made tears well up in my eyes and I haven't even heard your critique yet !!
Thank you, thank you, you've given me something to look forward to, even if you don't like it !! 😉😉
Thank YOU! For the suggestion
You said the good words ,look great ,but playing forwards was a shock .godd bless .
Nightwish are my favourite band, but beware the intolerant fans who don't like skipping bits of the song. They probably won't like the Evanescence comparison either, although one of their albums sold more copies than the whole discography of Nightwish. Glad you liked the song, this whole concert is a masterclass of live performance 🤘
Thanks @slash1971 Unfortunately I cannot create a reaction to everyone's taste and that is ok. However, projecting negativity across a channel that promotes positivity and the love of all music is not something that will be welcome on this page. It's the old school saying that if you have nothing nice or constructive to say, don't say it at all.
Nightwish has grown steadily like in metal it usually is. They are one of biggest European bands of their generation now after 24 years. Evanescence has very different story. Their biggest success came right after their debut album. It was the time in early 2000's when alternative rock/metal and nu metal was very popular. Linkin Park's debut album also came out back then and was huge success.
@@RiseAcademyofMusic I will not say it.
I would assume that most of us love Evanescence and Ami Lee (have an album and blueray), although Floor Jansen / Nightwish are unmatched esp. when it comes to live performances; btw. the amount of sold albums does not say anything at all about the quality.
@@RiseAcademyofMusic also I went to the original G3 concert tour at The Royal Albert Hall and Joe Satriani signed my ticket!
Another Nightwish Army member here! *Represent!*
Amy Lee? This was a league above Amy Lee. ;-)
It is funny that it seems that in the US people only know Evanascence. In Europe, there are many symphonic metal bands with a female singer: Epica, The Gathering, Within Temptation, Haggard, Rhapsody of Fire, Therion, Xandria, Delain etc. You might want to listen to one of these. And most of these bands are either from Sweden, Finland, Germany or the Netherlands.
Floor is metal singer who can do opera. She is the front woman of Nightwish. Try Romanticide next. This is where you can see she is a metal singer.
Wow coach 156 thumbs down ? I know none of them are Army members. I'm sorry so many of your regulars didn't like it. Thanks for the honest reaction, glad at least you liked it. Don't be shy about doing other Nightwish songs. You will enjoy ( being a coach ) her clear and clean vowels when she goes high and the amazing breath control.The Band is Tight, the Vocals are Great.......156 ?
Mentioning Guthrie got my attention , not many know his awesome slippery skills lol
Love your reaction to Floor. She has an unbelievable voice. I was hoping you can do a reaction to Steve Perry from Journey?
It´s more than brillant it´s fantastic
Prepare for an onslaught of comments from the Nightwish Army. Wonderful to see people still just now finding Nightwish. All three of their leads have been impressive in their own way. You should probably rush to check them all out. You won't be disappointed.
I would love to see Nightwish (Floor Jansen), HEART, Clan of Xymox, Ladytron, Suzanne Sundfor, Black Nail Cabaret and many others.
Floorgasm - done! ;)
Supertastic reaction! I think you should react to the black widow marvel movie! Hi it’s grant in Philly!
Thank you very much! I think you should react to the evil dead scary movie! I really appreciate it!
disturbed sound of silence live on conan pls pls pls !
Floor Jansen started singing in rock bands when she was 16

🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 Sweet!!!! 😁 I recommend Song of Myself from this same show. And as every piece of these songs are composed pieces (especially the backing tracks) you really rob yourself if you skip any parts, especially on their few longer songs. Just want to make sure you're aware so you can get the full experience!!!! 😉🤘🤘
And hello from Northern California!!!! 😁✌
Nice, very nice reaction. I hope to see Nightwish live in november Amsterdam this year but now with this pandemy world wild. Luckely I saw Floor live last february.
Actually, Floor's had very little (year or two at most) straight opera training, and has said it's not her favorite style. Even in this song, she doesn't really do much of it. Check out the Tampere '15 version of Stargazers or Villa Leid from Beste Zangers to see her go "full" opera. Oh, and as for the G3 & Guthrie Govan shoutouts...um, will you marry me hahaha? Guthrie is an amazing players (same with Satch, Vai, and Lukather). I've seen a couple of the G3 shows over the years...they're always great. Saw Vai on his last tour...great show, but *crushingly* loud. I usually don't use ear plugs, but I was wishing I had 'em for that show. I didn't get a pick from Steve, but I did snag a drumstick from Jeremy Colson \m/
The sound in the backround sounds like vacuuming.
for vocally really challengin stuff, listen the Nightwish new album Human Nature. Would be nice to have more reactions for this Wacken 2013 concert. Every song is golden. Rock musical type of song try: Ghostriver. More heavier stuff try: Romanticide. More celtic wipe try: I want my tears back.
you re gonna enjoy that ride with nightwish and Floor Jansen....
Imo she is not an opera singer she is a clasicly trained metal vocalist. If you watch "Your's an empty hope" from Nightwish or Disdain from Revamp you will see the difference.

You shouldn’t have skipped it ahead !! DAMN
Some of these comments are hilarious!! Self appointed Nightwish ambassadors, how to instructions for someone else's channel and complaining about skipping a time fill which is ear candy to me, but not part of a voice reaction obviously. If everyone was as smart as these people the world would be a better place.... All that nonsense aside, I enjoyed this reaction and I like watching you when you enjoy a song, it is a treat for me. I love this song and have seen dozens of reactions to it and watched the video on its own several times. These guys are great musicians, and Floor Jansen is an excellent singer. I don't know off hand any current live performances I would like to see, but if I could turn back time, I would love to see Pink Floyd, Boston, Rush, Tears For Fears, or the Alan Parsons Project live. I could go on and on with the list, but those are the top bands that come to mind at the moment. Stay safe out there and thanks for sharing this reaction!
The buildup right at the point was the beginning of the next act. So much tension in the way she walked out after the beat kicked back in the following shot just before she begins to again sing...and you missed it, and we missed your reaction to it. Tragic.
