Yeah! Its my opinion too. And further more, so far I know Floor Versions of Anettes Songs, I like Anette's version of this song more than Floor's version.
Annette has this sweet-sour bitchiness needed for these songs. I have to admit I hated her in the beginning, now I know my judgment wasn't fair. I love to hear her songs nowadays. Like "The crow, the owl and the dove", for example
Totally agree with you about cell phone videos. I love Floor, but for me , this is an Anette song. She does great at that witchy sound this song requires.
I got to see them live during that tour, and as much as I love Floor (fan since the first After Forever album) and Tarja (got to see her live solo the same year) credits to Anette cos she did an excellent job that day!
Annette does a great job in this song. She does, indeed, sound like an evil witch. And, Daniel, I agree with you 100% about how that kid with the earphones will remember that concert. Memories like that last a lifetime.
Hey Daniel 👋 Yes, I agree, take your kid to an event like this and you will always have something for the heart ... ❤ like I told you before - seeing NIGHTWISH live together is the chain between my son Eric and me 💞 Good to see you again. Take care! Much love from Germany - Rose - 🌹
It helps to have good sound and better video as well. When I saw Nightwish last year there was a 30ish young father with his 10 year old daughter on his shoulders. She was eagerly awaiting Floor and her favorite song, Storytime. It warmed my heart and gave me hope for the youth of America.
This song is really funny theatrical piece to watch during the Halloween. Makes everyone smile! Fits Annette so perfectly! And Marko, as always, awesome!
Hello Daniel! You did see what a spectacle it was to see Jukka on drums. One of the few videos in which he manages to appreciate how great it is sitting there
This is, by far, the BEST Anette live performance with Nightwish i´ve ever seen (on tape)... listening to her live in person (both tours) made me angry and leave Nightwish live until 2018 "Decades Tour" .. live happens ..
If you google nightwish storytime, official music video. Its by natoworks and shows a much better version of scaretale. It does this because in the video annette is singing storytime in the movie! Please check this out!
Daniel, you've never said a truer statement re the boy on his Dad's shoulders. If I may, I'd like to share with you my favourite similar Nightwish moment. It was at Deichbrand (which isn't a metal Festival) so there were Families there that had never seen Nightwish - anyway, during 'Dark Chest of Wonders' , the cam pans to a young girl - and the look of sheer joy and wonderment on her face was priceless - and D C of W's is quite a heavy number too!! I know you want to cover Deichbrand at some point - I heard it had been taken off TH-cam for a while, but I think it's now back on!😊
"she sounds like a Disney witch" That's exactly why I prefer this version. Floor can be a goddess, angel, Valkyrie Queen, one of the best singers out there, but not an evil witch
Annette had her place in the band that is for sure. Her style really helped Tuomas’ writing and compositions to evolve. That being said Annette’s departure led the way to one of the best live performances the band has ever had with the Wacken 2013 show. I can’t help but feel that Wacken would have been mediocre at best had they not retained Floor. As we have seen with other live performances since 2013 Floor’s range can complement the entire Nightwish catalog. It makes me wonder if Decades live Buenos Aires even would have happened had Annette not left the band.
There is still another version that is a music video that marries footage from this show with footage from the Imaginaerum movie. I believe it's fan-made, but it's extremely well done, and is, in fact, my favorite version. It's a shame this didn't make it to the Wacken 2013 setlist. It's a brilliant song, and I would love a proper pro version with Floor, after she had time to work with it. Annette is great in this, but this isn't exactly a top-notch recording either.
I like all three singers. It's true that Floor's performance of some of Anette's songs doesn't sound the best, it's simply because each of them has its own uniqueness. Anette has a beautiful voice and the fact that the two most successful Nightwish albums are the ones she sang on also means something. There's nothing wrong with loving all three Nightwish singers.
i have to agree nw is all about familimy all is uber and share all and yes kid with headcancel noice so uber u right he will remember it rest of her life =) sorry to responce i got today news that i have cancer so im lilte sad u lift me up thou all have nice day i hope... best wishes nw army finland
This is posted on the Nightwish YT channel as "Official Live", but I'm not sure what the story is behind it. Looks to be shot by a fan or single crew member - certainly not up to their usual "Official Live" standards. Interesting video all the same. I agree with many others that Annette's voice is used to good effect on this piece.
Yeah, this strikes me as just a cleaned up cell phone video. It's better quality than the Floor version, but I've seen many better fan videos, especially using newer phones. I'm glad we have it, though.
@@Tarkus_ I'd have to guess that they didn't take their TH-cam channel as seriously when this was posted (2012). I was only a casual fan back then - owning a couple of their CD's, but didn't follow them too seriously so I can't speak from experience.
They used to have A LOT of good quality (audio vise at least lol) live performances with Anette from 2007 to 2008, they were the same format as this one, if people were to react to those versions they would certainly give anette a little more respect, however Nightwish set all those videos private some years ago. Shame really, I sort of understand why they did it. It certainly doesnt mix welll having Wacken 2013 alongside to those "official live" videos (they used to be in the same playlist on Nightwish's youtube channel lol) but damn do I miss them. A lot of lost media..
@@exoticmaniac3024 Interesting. I wasn't aware they'd removed/disabled certain videos. I wonder if this explains why their channel lost about 30 million views a while ago.
@@dazjackson1972 Could be, actually if you go to the official nightwish youtube channel, you can see "18 videos are not available" when scrolling down the "Live Recordings" playlist. Those are almost certainly the Anette videos, at least they didn't delete them.
This is indeed such a crappy vid! Not worthy to be ‘Nightwish official’. The music video ‘Nightwish Scaretale’ on the other hand is just fantastic. Still a great reaction again, Daniel!🤘🏻
In my opinion, Annette's voice just fits this song. The whole Imaginarium album was Annette's baby!! She really embodied this song!!
Yeah! Its my opinion too. And further more, so far I know Floor Versions of Anettes Songs, I like Anette's version of this song more than Floor's version.

There's still the official music video version of the song. Really creepy and fun to watch.

So now you obviously need to listen to cadence of her last breath, for the heart I once had and meadows of heaven. Best 3 with Anette 🤩
Can't believe I forgot whoever brings the night. One of the best nw songs evvvveer😮😮😮
And Eva. And Rest Calm. And The crow the owl and the dove. And Turn loose the mermaids. The list goes on and on
@@AndyMagnusson70
They got 'turn loose' not released. 😂
But i concur!
@@gaylord.b.cockburn Hahahaha had some bad luck thinking there. I should know that 😂😂😂😂
Yes to all of mentioned songs.
Annette does a great job in this song. She does, indeed, sound like an evil witch. And, Daniel, I agree with you 100% about how that kid with the earphones will remember that concert. Memories like that last a lifetime.

I am a huge Floor fan, but i think Anette owns this one.
Woohoo! I love that you took the time to react to Annette's version!

Imaginaerum is packed full of great songs, my favourite Nightwish album.

Oh yes Anette used her vocal talent and became the evil witch!!! I highly recommend you watch the movie as it is really quite good

Annette: Studio is better
Floor; Live is better
I blasted the Studio version of this several times yesterday for Halloween:)😊
ex Nightwish Tarja Frosty The Snowman official video. NEW ALBUM.
I’m sorry, still prefer Floor’s version!

Well at the time "The Nightwish Army" were all over Anette for being a terrible live singer. She proved "The Nightwish Army" wrong.
🇬🇧 Norfolk : let’s do this hope your Halloween went well 😊
