You can see that she knows how to take the stage, but also when to step back to let others have the stage dominance. Essentially... She's not an egocentric type of person, that's another point why they appreciate her so much in the band.

I can imagine Floor's students are in aww with her knowing she is part of an international band.

      This is quite wrong. Floor joined Nightwish in october of 2012, about 10 months before this concert (august 2013), and it was in the middle of a world tour, so she had plenty of performances before Wacken, including several festivals. If you want to see a really early version of Ghost Love Score, watch the official video in Buenos Aires, that was in december of 2012.

      This woman is a qualified vocal coach, knows what she is saying and unlike the most of the "reactioneers" on YT knows that Floor isn't the only person in history of music who can sing GLS like that. Check also her reaction to Phantom of the Opera from End of an Era. She is literally the only person on YT who did a full commentary about both Marco and Tarja, and you can tell that she does her job very well by the fact that she detected immediately a slightly sharp note, which proves that the performance was actually live.

She was called by surprise in the middle of the night and asked if she could hop on a plane to the U.S. in the morning and meet them in Seattle to rescue their suddenly endangered world tour midstream. The title of the DVD which documents her joining the band is literally titled, "Please Learn The Setlist In 48 Hours." No kidding! And she said later in an interview that she was standing backstage in Seattle before her first walkout onto stage "$#!++ing her pants" with fear that the audience of heartbroken Tarja fans would reject her and hate her. But she bravely walked out, opened her mouth in absolute perfection, the fans fell instantly in love, and the rest is history! :D ---Cheers!

She is such a great person, so humble despite being blessed with such great talent.

    Really enjoyed the explanations and how you noted the transitions between the styles that Floor does so seamlessly. Loved your comment on Jukka's drumming in the beginning, especially the unusual rhythm that is "missing an 8th."
    Concerning the strings and other instruments, such as the claranet you mentioned and the brass instruments you did not- and the choir- Nightwish is part of a genre called Symphonic Metal. It i snot uncommon for these bands (especially Nightwish) to blend the symphonic/orchestral and choir sounds into their own playing.
    Regarding the length of the song, many Nightwish songs are not this long, but a couple are even longer, and would be worth listening to and even reacting to. Poet and the Pendulum is roughly 15 minutes long. There is a rather deeply emotional story behind that one, and every moment of it is in the song. It has five different acts to it.This is a really great version (IMHO). It contains the full stage performance, plus discreetly added act titles and the lyrics. th-cam.com/video/iEzZRMthhXU/w-d-xo.html I'd wholly recommend this for a reaction.
    With respect to the comment about being able to only make the seamless transitions transitions between styles when one is VERY familiar with the song, my recommendation is to \listen to the Buenos Aires performance here: th-cam.com/video/3brcfttchzA/w-d-xo.html What is interesting about this version is that Floor had been with the band only about 2-3 months at the time of the performance. It is somewhat more raw than Wacken Open Air, but not by a great deal (in my opinion as someone with extremely limited musical training and knowledge.) A very good performance by her and one in which she does do the transitions through the vocal styles. Also, I may be mistaken on this, but I think this is the first time she incorporated the 'Floorgasm' (what fans lovingly refer to the very high note at the end) into the song. Even Emppu (the guitarist) reacts to it. Well worth viewing. I would not mind seeing a comparison video evaluating the two performances (Buenos Aires and Wacken).

    Thanks Freya for reacting to it. Great analysis once again. Glad that you liked it. Floor is an amazing singer, one of the most versatile singer in the metal scene. That high note at the end, is what we Nightwish fans call Floorgasm. Please do react to Epica - Sancta Terra (ft Floor Jansen) live at Retrospect.

    You obviously have an impressive grasp of the craft of singing, so I appreciate and respect you on that front. But...I have to say, when you talk throughout the entire video, it makes the reaction almost unwatchable, at least to these eyes, ESPECIALLY when you speak over Floor's crescendo in the final moments of the song. It forces the viewer to split his or here attention between the performance and your reaction and, as a result, distracts and dilutes the clip. A better strategy would be to pause the video and then speak to what does or does not impress you in that moment...and then proceed. It makes for a better rhythm and isn't so distracting for the viewer.

    Wow a really great review. You were very technical and yet still absorbed by the song, really impressive. I love this song and Floor is just great singing it. After your review I see just how unbelievable her talent is and just how hard she must of worked to get to this point. I agree that you can blend opera, pop, rock and metal but you need a singer who can do that and to do it as flawless as Floor does in this song is a rare talent. Your video only cements the belief all the fans have that Floor is great for Nightwish and is a perfect fit for they various styles and sometimes complicated songs. Would really love to get your reaction to a few other songs:
    Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show (th-cam.com/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/w-d-xo.html) Floor and Simone (Epica) are good friends and this is one of many duets they have done LIVE.

    As a musician myself and thus someone who has gone through several years of actual speech and singing tuition by a competent voice coach I´m pleased to see that you are appreciative of Floor´s mighty abilities without being floored ( yes, pun intended ) and awestruck but rather acknowledging her command of her craft sending the signal to the rest of us that this can actually be achieved by most of us with dilligent work and strict discipline to go along with your talent,- men and women alike.
    Arnold Schwarzenegger once stated:
    "The recipe for failiure is to be over-confident and under- prepared!
    Everything is repetition, repetition, repetition and more repetition."
    I think Floor in this performance and you in your analysis of it just proved his point.

    About Floor Jansen: What you were saying about focus and being able to let go at the same time, I believe turned into a lesson; "The Force is strong with this one." She just does it. No hesitation during a performance (maybe beforehand but not WHILE ON STAGE), just take the leap and go. She's a total natural at shows, one of the world's greatest stage performers. Did you see how she can woo the entire crowd? She was born for this. Some people just have it.

    It has always amazed me the tendency to be so impressed that it is a vocal coach who responds. That way, it's as if their words have so much more weight. Firstly, not all so-called vocal coaches manage to be neutral despite their possible professional insight. Secondly, it is an art to be able to create a reaction that is based on the style and genre from which the song is created, since it makes no sense, for example, to criticize a rock singer from a classical song technical point of view. And then the worst vocal coaches tend to make a reaction where they almost have to find some fault rather than just get excited about an otherwise excellent job; it is as if these need to be lifted up a little by being able to demonstrate that they know well that it could be done better.
