![Arab Man Reacts to NIGHTWISH - Storytime [LIVE at Wacken]](/img/n.gif)
First: you have nothing to apologize for, you did nothing wrong.
Then - I am glad that you have now taken the 2nd step in your exploration.
For many of us, Floor Jansen is a once-in-a-generation artist, managing to cover a diversity of vocal styles with masterful control, making her the perfect frontwoman for Nightwish, a band whose compositions are predominantly a melange of musical styles. (classical, folk, pop, metal). She joined the band as an emergency replacement halfway through the world tour promoting the album "Imaginaerum" (2011) when their 2nd singer could no longer continue due to health reasons. This concert took place towards the end of this tour, when Floor had joined the band for about 10 months. As a natural consequence, Floor sang in this tour exclusively songs recorded in the studio with the first 2 soloists of the band, Tarja Turunen and Anatte Olzon, demonstrating a huge capacity for adaptation, talent and creativity.
hello Gabe hope your doin well cheers 🐕🍺
Gabe is right! Screw the haters
Good to see you here Gabe. Texas reporting in.
NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. Please don’t listen to the “gatekeepers” that ruin music. There is NO wrong song to start with. Enjoy however you would like as NightWish has an unlimited catalog of greatness. This is YOUR channel, not their channel. Enjoy your ride my friend! ❤️🤘
So true! “Floor or nothing”? Please…
Exactly this! Every age of Nightwish is amazing in its own way and the people who insist on gatekeeping aren't really fans, they're just looking for a confirmation bias about their favorite song. I love Nightwish, I have a vocalist that I prefer for the band, but that by no means stops me from listening to everything else they have with joy.
^^^What Kevin said. ;)
Nightwish is incredible whoever is singing and any song.
Exactly , don’t apologize and just go on the journey and discover which songs you like and which versions appeal to you. The whole idea there’s one truth is stupid and goes against everything Nightwish stands for.
I don't think anyone is upset, just we want you to have the same joy we had. Glad to see your reaction!
Yes I am truly upset. Not that he reacted to "the wrong song". But people who think that their words and choise are rules.
Yes, exactly this! 😊
Every Nightwish's song will be your next favorite
🤘😎🤘
Exactly.
Facts.
Whatever guard you have up, when Floor's voice comes in she cut's thru it like a fresh sharpened butcher knife and get's you right into your soul and while your bleeding out you feel satisfied.
Greetings from Germany
First of all, there is no "wrong" song to start your Nightwish journey with. The 2005 version of Phantom is iconic and well loved by all the Nightwish fans. Some might say that it's a good idea to start closer to the beginning of Nightwish and work your way forward in time. Nightwish just doesn't put out bad music. I would say that the most important thing is to find the videos that are best for that particular song, and Gabriel's list will be of tremendous help in that matter. Other than that, I say, go where you want, explore as you will. You will find such tremendous variety in their music, from lovely ballads, to songs with a definite Celtic influence, to hard and heavy rock/metal. I like the way you analyze the songs, and I am looking forward to hearing you analyze more from this great band. And, if you want to hear more of Marko and Floor, try another song from this concert -- "Romanticide."
Perfectly said my sista!
The 2005 version of phantom is not loved by all Nightwish fans.🙂
Compouser Tuomas Holopainen metal Mozart
Yeah. No bad songs. But yeah better and worse recordings (like cell phone vs professional recordings - like wacken) - so the quality of the audio & visual material
My first song was the Greatest Show on Earth at Wembley (2015). One of the longest, and i became an instant fan. Once i got my jaw off the ground, that is. Enjoy the journey.
You can not start with the wrong song. They have lots of great songs. Seen them live a couple of years ago. Amazing live band. Some people say the best female singer on earth. This is BS of course. But she is amazing. I am from the Netherlands where also Floor is from. Big fan of her and Nightwish. Seen a couple solo shows of Floor. She has a great Soloalbum and lots of songs and covers on her own channel. Thanks for this reaction.
Who would you say is a better, more versatile singer that can sing everything from opera to pop to showtunes to rock to metal to death metal and do it as well as Floor, just curious, I'd like to hear her 😎😁
@@tomvenner6030 Floor can do it all. Opera, metal, rock, pop and everything in between. For me Tarja is too operatic and Anette totally not operatic. So for me Floor is the best fit for Nightwish.
There’s no wrong song to start with!! I’d even argue Tarja is the best way to start off your Nightwish journey as the original singer and voice of the band. True fans love all of Nightwish’s singers. If you want more Tarja, I’d suggest Wishmaster live from the End of an Era concert. 🤘
Think nothing of it. There is no wrong song to start with. I look forward to following you on your journey.
Ghost Love Score was written by Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboardist (99 percent of all Nightwish songs are composed by Tuomas) , and was written for Tarja Turunen who was the original vocalist that you saw in the Phantom clip - Floor rearranged the ending of Ghost Love Score, with Tuomas's blessing, and it has become the band's most iconic version now - Even though Floor has now been with the band for 12 years and has recorded 3 albums, written with her vocals in mind, she has turned most of the original songs, written for the first 2 vocalists, into her own versions in some way or another
Great reaction. Nightwish is always best live. Try "Romanticide" From that same Waken concert. Cheers from a finn in Sweden 👍👍👍
Hi 👋 from the UK division of the Nightwish army welcome to your first floorgasam lol 😊
Happy you met our Dutch Valkyrie Metal Goddess Floor and Nightwish.
Please do more, it’s all this good! Wish I could hear it all again for the first time, but that’s loooong gone 😆
Btw, no pitch correcting necessary here!
Nightwish - STORYTIME - Live at 2013
Nightwish - ROMANTICIDE - Live at 2013
And the song Ever Dream Live Wacken 2013 by nightwish,
Nothing to apologise for. If you don't know you don't know ! Here to follow your journey with Nightwish. Subscribed.
Thank you!! I felt so bad about doing it all wrong!!
Dunno what you did, but surely no wrong way. Just go for it and enjoy the journey ❤️🤘
Loved your talk about energy and feedback from the crowd. As you dig deeper you will learn why Floor was available for Nightwish. She had a mental breakdown from prior work because she did not learn how to release all that feedback energy. In that process she learned she is empathic (HSP). She needed to learn how to channel all that incoming energy and take time to release it. She now lives in nature with horses (empathic animals), has a husband and two daughters. Balance is everything.
Floor is why I’d listen to Nightwish, but there are some songs that fit the other singers styles perfectly. Toumas is an amazing writer and knows how to use their instrument. Sleeping Sun Tarja is perfection; Wish I has and Angel may have been their first big hit. Amaranth, Bye Bye Beautiful and Eva fit Annette’s styles.
At Wacken Floor was singing covers. She had only been with them 10 months and had recorded nothing. You will eventually move past these to get to new songs written with and for Floor. Elan, My Walden and Shudder Before the Beautiful have more designed vocal shift from their first album together.
Welcome to the rabbit hole.
That's truly beautiful. Well done to her for sorting out her priorities!
her husband (Hannes Van Dahl) is by the way the drummer from Sabaton. so if Sabaton ever needs a soprano for the end credits, Hannes has one at home. 😉 .... so never skip the end credits of Sabaton songs. 😆
82,000 people. This was 13 of 15 songs, they had been playing for 1 hour and 10 minutes before this. All the songs at this concert were great. Floor our Valkyrie Goddess can sing every thing. All members of Nightwish are great musicians. Marko the bass player is a very good vocalist in his own right. Welcome to Nightwish!
Floor Jansen the Dutch goddess of metal ❤❤
Floor is known for inducing goosebumps. People call them Floorgasms. You are right about Floor’s incredible versatility. Nightwish is best live, so your instincts are right about that too.
Are they though? I mean they're fantastic live and I've heard almost everything they've done (sans Perfume), but as much as I enjoyed live, I got a lot more enjoyment from their studio work where there's a lot of depth and detail that is lost at the bigger sound of a concert. I suppose to each their own, but I have a hard time believing this is more about being better with live than it is more about being better because of Floor.
Congratulations on experiencing your very first Floorgasm. It gets you every time.
Yes it does!
17:10 Emppu and Marco were ready for it, you were wanting it. Floor delivered THE NOTE!!
Texas division checking in!
"Wrong"? No, I think there's no *wrong* way to experience a band, and I really enjoyed your reaction to Phantom of the Opera.
It is true that this song is a better example of newer Nightwish than the previous one you chose (not least for the reason that it's they're own song, rather than a cover of someone else's). It's also true that Floor is a mindbogglingly skilled vocalist. The 2005 version of Phantom is also an *excellent* piece of work. Ghost Love Score is a great choice to experience Nightwish further, so good pick as your second by them. However, *all* of their music is excellent, so I don't think there are bad songs to choose from in their catalog.
Always fun to watch someone experience their first Floorgasm, though :)
Hello
I have some info on Floor Jansen for you here.
She is married to Hannes Van Dahl, drummer of the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. Together they have 2 daughters (Freja & Lucy)
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 3 octaves (C3 to F6). Re-singing style ranges from opera to screams and grunts. She usually sings in English, in addition she has also sung songs in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish.
Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she cool singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
and, their newest album, "Yesterwynde" is being released in September......
I'm so glad you liked this song! This song was no. 13 of the setlist (out of 15). As for a song with Floor and Marko... my favorite "Song of Myself" also Wacken 2013 and no. 14 of the list. Marko once said he liked to sing with Floor because he doesn't have to hold back. So..enjoy! Greetings from The Netherlands
Every Nightwish song is the gateway drug to all the rest.
This song was 3rd from the end. Floor is known for having a fan pointing up in front of her position on stage. This is a major festival in Germany there were 82,000 present. The w is pronounced as a V as it is German. At this point Floor has only been with the band as a replacement singer for about 10 months. Originally she was filling in after the previous singer quit mid tour. To give you an idea of how big the band is they are the closing act of this major metal festival.
To be fair Anette didnt quit, she got fired. And thats a very good thing as NW is much better with Floor❤
Watching a first time reaction to Floor hitting The Note never gets old! 😅
Enjoy the Nightwish ride. For a darker and really powerful track, try Song of Myself, also from Wacken 2013.
Cheers from Australia, subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!
No wrong way to start. Greetings from Finland 😊 Keep exploring, you'll find a lot of new favorites.....
This was a good reaction thanks, when Floor joined nightwish she had just 2 days to learn there full playlist she truly is a great singer in my opinion, thanks again and take care.
Hello from Finland. ❣️
First i need to say, there is not such thing as wrong song about Nightwish. They dont do bad songs. 😅
And i woud love that you chek all the singers of them.
They are all good singers, different to each other but they all are unic.
Waiting for the next reaction.😊
Another neurodivergent here, also ADHD and autism. Thank you for reacting! Greetings from Westland, The Netherlands ❤
You are the boss on your channel, if you started with TPOTO with Tarja, that is just a great start. Reacting to GLS with Floor (my queen) is just something that has become the most used approach in the course of time. On the other hand: following our General's advices is alway ok❤
Your first reaction was special, so don't stop!
There is no wrong version, some are just more epic than others. This was song 13 out of 15 songs in the set. Welcome to Nightwish brother! Much love from New York 🤗
Floor said, she has goose bumps, too when she hear this
You didn't make a mistake and there is no wrong video. Some "fans" are a bit unhinged when it comes to what video reactors should react to but at the end of the day, Nightwish is a great band that had 3 amazing singers in its history. Don't listen to the haters ( either the Tarja haters, the Anette haters or the Floor haters). That said, if you follow the list that Gabriel undoubtedly gave you in his usual post, you can't go wrong.
There is no such thing as wrong start, wrong song, wrong singer etc with Nightwish. Each era of Nightwish has brought us wonderful musical compositions, and each singer has given her touch and feel to the band.
This song was written for the first singer, Tarja Turunen, but Floor was called in mid US tour in the end of September 2012,to fill in for the second singer, Anette Olzon, for the reminder of the tour. This show at Wacken Open Air in Germany, was in front of 82000 and was at the end of the world tour.
I have listened to Nightwish since late 90s and loved each era, but my favourite is Floor as she manages all (and I mean ALL) singing styles.
Great reaction and welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish and Symphonic Metal.
Sincerely from Nightwish Army Sweden.
There is no wrong Nightwish song 🤘. But Floor is the Queen 🤘🤘🤘🤘great reaction
Well there's really no wrong song to start with on this band. All I can say that if you can, always choose live performances since they are great live band.
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she
got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power
of her vocals.
We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard.
ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!
The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready!

The perfect song that features bassist Marco taking some lead with Floor backing him up is from the same show Wacken 2013 the song "Ghost River" - th-cam.com/video/yT7jPHrTFZU/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUVZ2hvc3Qgcml2ZXIgbmlnaHR3aXNo
Hello and welcome to my favourite band Nightwish with Floor Jansen. Love, Love them, for me the perfect combination, these amazing musicians and their singer. I loved your reaction, so i see you at the next one. Greetings from the Netherlands, bye!!!!
Thank you very much!
Made a mistake ? How , no wrong way to start Nightwish.......I Love Floor she is my Favorite but it's not Floor or nothing by no means .
This is the 15th song i believe , Floor doesnt sweat , Odins Tears flow from her skin
Anyway Another soul snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess
Welcome to the adventure! Nightwish Army NY here!! You'll love all of it! After hearing how amazing Floor and Marko sound together, please return back to that End of an Era concert to see Marko and Nightwish's incredible tribute to Pink Floyd with their rendition of "High Hopes"
Greetings from Canada. Welcome to our obsession. A Nightwish concert is about 1 3/4 hr long, continuous, with minimal breaks between a varied setlist of 15+ songs. Mid concert there is usually an instrumental piece (like the celtic Last of the Wilds) to give the singer a break, and sometimes a costume change.
In older concerts the midshow song was often a cover, with just the guys.
This is how we got the amazing tribute to Pink Floyd's High Hopes. As a Pink Floyd fan..... wow.
Greetings from Finland 🤘
Marko Hietala was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago. He had been struggling with depression for a loooong time until he finally got the ADHD diagnosis. He's finally feeling better
Hi there, greetings from UK
Thank you for reacting to my favourite band
I concur with the comments others have made, although a lot of fans have their personal favourite singer, all three singers have made enormous contributions to the band over the years
Also, it is your channel, there is no wrong choice of song if you want to react to it 😉
Nightwish Army checking in and subscribed.
Anything from Wakken live 2013.
Romanticide (heavy)
Everdream (softer)
Storytime (softer)
Song of Myself (heavier)
Great video dude. General Gabriel should drop a comment with history and reaction list. The one above is off of it but no particular order. And softer doesn't mean soft lol.
Can't wait for more videos!
The thing that gets me every time: when she belts out that last crazy beautiful high belt, you can hear the audience's reaction, over the music, over the post production. How amazing must it have been to be in that crowd and be swept away by the best concert ever...
Personally I prefer Floor, but Tarja is also extremely talented, but the style of singing is not for me, but that does not mean that you will be the same, so listen to all 3 of their singers and you decide.
A good way to react to Nightwish is to follow Gabriel Bardac's post, as he usually posts ver quickly on new reactors discovering Nigthwish.
Screw that, there’s no bad way to begin your Nightwish journey. Floor is awesome and otherworldly, but no need to ignore the band’s long and wonderful history. Proceed as you wish and true Nightwish fans will follow!
I apologize wholeheartedly that some commenters made you feel as if you did something wrong. The only way you could have been wrong with where to start your journey, was to not start it and provide commentary on a band you had never actually listened to. Long time fans listened to Tarja and Annette before hearing Floor take on Tuomas' masterpieces, there is no reason why you couldn't do the same.
Gabriel's list, although a great roadmap, isn't the only route through the Nightwish Catalog. Like I said in your first video, I personally appreciated the different starting point.
That being said, this is YOUR channel, the Nightwish Army will show up with each new video regardless of order. Be honest, be yourself, and most importantly listen to the music and provide genuine reactions, the views and subs will come.
As for this video, I can tell you get the music, you knew that Floor was building to something the entire song, Thomas wrote it that way, and she delivered way more than even he anticipated. If you watch Floor's own reaction to this same performance, she explains that this is her ending to GLS. As for dueting between Floor & Marko in the earlier stops on a typical NW Journey here are my recommendations:
Haunting harmonies - The Islander (Live from Tampera)
Strong harmonies - Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean ( Wacken 2013)
Everdream (Wacken 2013)
WTF Harmonies - Yours is an Empty Hope (Wembley)
Nightwish Army, Arizona Division signing off until the next video.
🇺🇲🌵
I concur
Thanks, there's no such a bad start for Nightwish, greetings from Colombia
Isn’t it incredible to have people who are still, eleven years later, finding and being utterly stunned by Floor and Nightwish? Truly an iconic band.
Great reaction. As you have now discovered, Floor is an Enchantress. The exploration of Nightwish is a journey that will enthrall you like no other. There is so much variety and so many nuances to their music ... and their live performances are, in my opinion, simply breathtaking. Listening to, and especially watching Nightwish, I'm usually either grinning like a maniac or wiping a tear out of my eye. Enjoy the journey, as a new subscriber, I will watch on with interest. All the very best from the Canberra Regiment, Australian Division, Nightwish Army.
Un coucou de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France, avec un peu de retard , très bonne réaction et excellente analyse à l'écoute du plus grand groupe du monde pour ma part. Vous venez de faire connaissance du métal symphonique et de notre reine Floor, mais vous n'avez qu'effleuré le dessus de l'iceberg et vous n'êtes qu'a l'entrée du terrier de lapin. Je vous souhaite de bons floorgasmes et continuez vos réactions nous serons toujours derrière vous pour vous soutenir pour notre groupe...... Encore plus d'écoutes s'il vous plait...... Merci. Continuez sur le festival du Wacken Open Air 2013, vous êtes sur de ne pas vous tromper, les quinze chansons du set sont des classiques pour tous les fans du groupe et sont à écouter absolument. Vous venez d'écouter la 13ème chanson du set, qui est à entendre absolument car comme le must du groupe, ensuite faites le Ever Dream qui commence comme une douce ballade voix piano et sur un signe de Marko ( le bassiste ) continue d'accélérer pour finir comme un train à grande vitesse et en même temps de faire la connaissance de la voix de Marko, ou écoutez une petite histoire, un bon rock avec un refrain qui reste longtemps en tête avec Storytime ou alors du plus lourd avec Ghost River pour entendre le mélange magnifique des voix de Floor avec Marko ( merveilleuse harmonie )ou bien encore plus lourd avec Romanticide ..... Et je pense que notre ami Gabriel Bardac devait arriver sous peu, ou être déjà passé ou alors retournez sur votre première réaction au groupe( Un grand MERCI à Gabriel d'avoir repris le flambeau de notre regrettée Anne ) cliquez sur son nom et allez sur communauté, vous pourrez suivre sa liste en toute confiance avec les meilleurs mixages à la bonne vitesse et avec le meilleur audio mais ce n'est pas une obligation, juste un sage conseil pour entendre une petite partie du meilleur du groupe. Continuez les filets du groupe sont tendus et il vous sera très difficile de vous en sortir, plus de NIGHTWISH s'il vous plait et bienvenu à vous...... Bonne écoute et à bientôt, et un nouvel abonné ici.......Paix sur vous mon ami ........
I suspect that people were disappointed previously because the thumbnail was Floor but the singer was the first predominantly operatic singer Tarja Turunen ( 1996-2005). She has many fans who can't see beyond her. This song was also written for her but this version is on another level due to Floor's versatility and the final belt that she added.
There is video of Floor actually singing Opera. She graduated from from the Dutch Rock Academy and a further 3 years of Opera and musical theatre. For a duet with Marko check out “Romanticide”. For something completely different check out the band Floor was in when they had her start with Nightwish. Here is a link th-cam.com/video/iNSf64M9uA0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Owfu25BgaMKwpteq
Neurosparkling dude and Nightwish fan here. Great reaction from you. Nightwish gives me a lot, far beyond the music. I hope you let yourself go on the Nighwish journey, this unique band has a lot to offer, for me one of the best that the music world has produced in the last few decades.
There is no wrong with Nightwish. Just hop in the rabbit hole and let's gooooooo!
Nightwish Army Cleveland, Ohio Chapter reporting. I have been a diehard Nightwish fan for over 20 years. There really isn’t one definitive starting point with this band. Because they simply make nothing but amazing music. But this is one of the most amazing performances ever. If you want to hear more of Marko and Goddess Floor harmonizing, check out the song Romanticide from this same concert. Another good one is Weak Fantasy from the Tampere Finland concert in 2015.
Hang on! There is a Nightwish Army? Hello from Valley City, Ohio!
@@kristinahiatt4660 Hello there. It’s just a name for Nightwish fans. It’s not actually a club or anything.
3rd song from last they had been on stage about 90 minutes and she’s still singing like an angel. The crowd is 82k.
Don't apologise to anybody my friend , the Nightwish army will guide you through your new journey into this band the best they can , with the best live videos to look for to enable you to maximise Your experience . There are no set rules here or people to offend , as we are a community united in the love for this band . You do you and just enjoy 👍 My son is on the spectrum also and looks into things too much with OCD on top , it's an adventure but good people in this world are understanding ! Wait until you hear "tribal" with the official music video , this is my official fast driving theme song 😁
Thank you, very nice reaction! Just Nightwish doing Nightwish things! And as you have surely noticed, although they are all outstanding , none of them standout.
Nightwish is their own genre and no other band comes close to the level they are at. Never, in the history of music entertainment, have a set of skills and talent collided in such powerful manner. Tuomas is a true genius as a composer and with lyrics.
Although the band is Finnish, Floor Jansen, their 3rd singer is not, she is Dutch, lives with her husband Hannes van Dahl, the drummer of the band Sabaton and their two daughters in Sweden. Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career (initially) just as the background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997, but real soon she took over the lead until early 2009 and the band fell apart. Parallel she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. She studied Musical Theatre and one year Opera. She plays guitar, piano and flute and has completed 12 years of music studies. She’s a Light Lyric Soprano and her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons.
On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1, 2012 (while she was within ReVamp, but recovering from a burnout) Floor replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. After one year (shortly after the Wacken Open Air festival concert 2013) on October 9th 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer.
Is this real live? If you’ll have any doubts watch this: th-cam.com/video/6qDrKoZ62wQ/w-d-xo.html the evolution of Ghost Love Score.
Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp worked under the same Nuclear Blast record label. Tuomas and Floor know each other since August 20th, 2002 when Nightwish played in a sold-out and swelteringly hot “Hof Ter Lo” in Antwerp with After Forever and Charon as support act.

The NW journey is yours ,not anyone else's. All good, all different, and worth seeing. I'm a Floor person, but also enjoy Tarja, she is not better or worse, just different, Anette too pop for me. Also Marco and Troy u will discover if u move forward are excellent singers as u saw a bit with Marco on Phantom
Nightwish is an audhd paradise. Have fun (audhd nw fan here) and you don't have to apologize. All versions are worth watching, you can choose your own favorite.
Every one of us tripped over Nightwish at some point, there really is no wrong song to start with. Enjoy the music, that's what counts. And if it intrigues you, dig deeper into the lyrics, the music, the album concepts. There is a enormous depth to it, and it is still growing. New album on the way :-). Tuomas is one of the greatest composers and writers of this age, and fate brought together a group of amazing musicians who can evoke his work in a manner that indeed bring goosebumps to the listeners :-). enjoy the trip, and see you next time.
So many have contributed thoughts. All valid...
I'll simply point out one aspect of this amazing collaboration -
I was there, and I can attest to the Fact that nearly all of us 82K present were actively singing All of the original backing vocal track passages at the top of our "we've been here a couple days while drinking, etc too much" voices!
I think this says SOMETHING.
Enjoy your journey!
Cheers

🤘👹🤘
Great reaction... (my inner voice conversation was funny... "just you wait!" ha ha!!) And YES! "Pay off" is right!
You: I know she's holding back. I hope there's a big crescendo.
Nightwish fans: Hehehehe!
Welcome to Nightwish !!!Texas checking in, great reaction good sir !
Awesome reaction!
Well I don’t know what version you listened to before, but any version would pale into insignificance compared to this one.
I envy you because you have the experience of listening to Nightwish featuring Floor for the first time for so many epic songs. I’m looking forward to sharing that experience with you when you react to more Nightwish.
For the best versions to react to it’s always a good idea to follow General Gabriel’s famous list.
Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧
Nightwish Army, Indonesia Division here. Didn't see your first reaction, but yeah, I think from your reaction to GLS you enjoyed it. Our leader, Gabriel has made contact so you're in safe hands ao you should have a suggested reaction playlist by now. Nightwish live is the way to go and every song will be different. Strap yourself in a prepare yourself for one hell of a journey. I've subscribed so I can follow your journey.
Story time, Ghost River, ….just watch and listen to the entire Wacken 2013 concert!
Also their later work is great.
You can never go wrong with Nightwish. Whether it is with Tarja, Annette or Floor. As long as Tuomas is the composer, everything is fine.😊😊🙏🙏🤘🤘
"Nightwish fans... from the bottom of my heart - I'm sorry!"
Every member of the Nightwish Army - from the simplest of conscripts to the Hands of Odin- :
"Wait a minute, wait a minute NOW JUST WAIT A HORNED HELMET MINUTE!!!!
This is your channel and you do you. Apart from apologizing that is. We are just here to point out other nitty bitty thingies of our world that we think you may find awesome. So: you be you. You do you. We are just out here offering you a drinking horn with meade and a stomp to sit on by the fire."
As someone named after a viking (Erik the red) I will accept your meade, and march off to battle with you, and we will rejoice to these songs once again in Valhalla!
Excellent reaction...I very much enjoyed it. Also...cool t-shirt! ☮
Please don't apologize! This band, and by the way music in general, is there to enjoy. I hope you will find all the gems. Gabriel Bardac's list is a good way to start. Most Nightwish fans LOVE to see (first time) reactors react to our favorite band. It makes us proud ;-)
I subscribed, to follow your yourney. Greetings from the Netherlands
Welcome to the very best live performance on the internet of all times. But it's not fair. They are not human. They are Gods send here to bring beauty to those earthlings. Any song is good from them, but "the greatest show on earth" is very special I guess. Because that's just what it is. Read the lyrics as well.
Happy discoveries!!!!
Greetings from the Netherlands
Singers sing what they can, Floor sings what she wants ❤once she sang the phonebook in a Dutch radioshow ❤and It sound like a real song ❤her voice just touch your soul and grab your heart ❤she is one of a kind ❤our Valkyrie queen ❤
Every once in a while I tear just a little bit with that final belt, she is just amazing
Nightwish is odd because it's had different lead singers and each one brings such a different vibe to the band. They're all great though. Heck some of my favorite Nightwish songs are from Annette Olzon's time with the band like Amaranth, 7 Days to the Wolves, and Bye Bye Beautiful.
This song never fails to deliver goosebumps. Romanticide is a great double vocal Nightwish song. And while you're in Finland, add Battle Beast (more traditional power metal but with a voice you won't forget) to the list.
Hi, thank you. Subscribed to be part of your Nightwish journey. Greetings from Germany 🤘🫶🔥
Awesome! Thank you!
There is no wrong way in. Tarja was the original singer and there is, unfortunately, a bit of argy-bargy about which version of Nightwish is best. To me, all versions are good. I prefer Floor as a singer because of her wonderful tone and versatility, but it's mainly about the songs and then the bands consistency of performance over the years. I think they really come into their own live, so always enjoy those performances best.
Best band on the planet.
The payoff at the end was Floors doing 100%. This song was originally sang by Tarja and did not have it, but Floor loved this song for years but felt it needed this and, in rehersal one day, belted it out. Everyone in the band said that was cool, and it's been a staple ever since.
🇫🇮❤People who say you made a mistake are wrong. All Nightwish singers have helped the band become more popular & you cannot go wrong with any Nightwish song, even if their current female vocalist, Floor Jansen, is preferred by many contemporary Nightwish fans over Tarja Turunen (their 1st & founding female vocalist) & Anette Olzon (their 2nd female vocalist after Tarja & before Floor.
Hard to believe it was 11 years ago. Still get chills and goosebumps.
Next reaction, devil and the deep dark ocean 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Goosebumps every time!
they also have songs with 3 vocalists together, but let´s start with another Wacken 2013 performance.
So you want to hear them singing together? Let´s try "Ever Dream", "Ghost River", "Song of Myself" and "Wish i had an Angel" =)
other concerts have other qualities - so if you want your goosebumps to beg for more space, watch what "evolved" in the 2 years of having Floor Jansen as main vocalist, try : "Shudder before the Beautiful" and "7 Days to the wolves" from Wembley Concert 2015, you will definitly love it
greetings from Germany
Never apologize for listing to Nightwish and enjoying it. Period. Just.... ENJOY!
You're fun to hang out with. I appreciate your reaction to this amazing performance. I recommend Dark Chest of Wonders from the same show. It's the opening song.
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered !
This is called Symphonic Metal and one of the Titans of that genere !!!
Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
Floor Jansen (third and current singer) is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy.
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6).
She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉.
Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band "After Forever" from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at "After Forever", she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band "ReVamp", which was disbanded in September 2016.
Here is a perfect song that shows Floor's versatility (it's pre Nightwish):
ReVamp - Disdain Live at Graspop (2010) th-cam.com/video/iNSf64M9uA0/w-d-xo.html
AND some Killer Harmonies with Marko (Bass Player):
Nightwish - 7 Days To The Wolves (Live at Wembley Arena) th-cam.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/w-d-xo.html
From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. And the tenth studio album Yesterwynde released on 20 September 2024 by Nuclear Blast.
And the master of this magic is:
Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish)
Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot.
Disney connection:
Floor Jansen did covers for two "Frozen" songs and Tuomas Holopainen (Metal Mozart) composed a whole album for Scrooge McDuck (album: "The Life and Times of Scrooge").
This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people (one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world and one of the largest open-air festivals in Germany). The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival.
We hope, that there is more coming. And you have a new subscriber here for that !!!!
NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA 🤘😎🤘.
Great reaction, new subscriber here :) Keep going with Nightwish I can quarantee you won't be dissappointed. Greetings from Finland!

When you talked about the energy of the crowd it made me smile a little. She's a HSP. So if a "normal" person can feel that energy, think about what she can feel..
