You should see him sing High Hopes cover at the same concert. He is the only singer in that one and he’s absolutely amazing. It’s honestly better than the original.
@@Qwarzz I'm not too fond of anyone saying that some version or cover is "better" or "worse" anyways since unless we're actually talking about someone not hitting the right notes or making other mistakes, it's simply a matter of taste ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ On the other hand, there are quite a few lifelong Pink Floyd fans who look almost ashamed when they mention that they like the homage better... Of course there are many who prefer the original (recorded, live, whatever), and some simply like both more or less equally, but for quite a few - who are kind of biased in favour of the original to begin with -, NW's version _is_ better for their personal taste 🙃
Whether the Nightwish or Pink Floyd version is better is largely a matter of taste. You’re comparing completely different takes, one metal and the other prog rock. As much as I like the nightwish version, it doesn’t hit the same emotional notes as the original.
The two singers -- Tarja and Marco -- are Finnish, so English is not their first language. It was recorded in Helsinki at the last concert that Tarja ever performed with Nightwish. Unknown to her, but known to all the other performers in this piece, she was going to be sacked from the band after the concert that evening. So the performance has a certain poignancy, especially for fans of Tarja. Tarja also had the flu during this performance, but battled on. A brilliant performance by both Tarja and Marco. For more Marco singing, watch High Hopes, a cover of Pink Floyd's song. Also, the Islander, live at Tampere.
@@voxsingingacademy after 18 years, they (Marko & Tarja) have reunited and performed a fantastic song called ‘Left On Mars’! Please take the time to check it out. It’s totally awesome!
It has probably already been said by now but apparently Tarja wasn't feeling very well at all for this performance. An opera singer on TH-cam had said there was something slightly off with her breathing but that would explain it - unbelievable that she still managed to pull this off!
This was recoded in Helsinki, Finland in October 2005. It was one of the last concerts with Tarja Turunen as the lead vocalist. The composer of the original musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber has told that this is one of the best renditions of the "Phantom Of The Opera" main theme he has ever heard.
End of an Era concert and DVD Helsinki 2005 and some 12000 people. Nightwish style to do classic song in metal version and mix the genres. Also acting the roles.
Thank you for continuing to react to Nightwish music, new subscriber here for that. Nightwish is energy, optimism, high level performance from all band's members. Greetings, from Romania!
@gabriel.bardac \|/ Wow... so many different places around this world have found the magical experience of Nightwish music; it is just pretty amazing, really. It is truly something that's just so beautiful, so unique, and so very special... Nightwish's work is simply exemplary at being undeniably moving; it is majestic and emotionally gripping. Their music is so awesome at evoking raw, stunning emotionality that can just unfailingly bring me a 47 year old dude in rural Arkansas, quite literally to tears... no lies. Shameless tears of joy! The Nightwish Army will always be a real community dedicated to the appreciation of music that has such broad appeal and such a tirelessly beautiful crafting to all of its components, that it just can never be forgotten, or dismissed.
You should hear her sing Ave Maria by Paolo Tosti or Mein Herr Marquis from her Beauty & The Beat tour. You would really hear her classical singing. She is amazing.
Tarja Turunen, the lady in yellow, you might like her solo career. (Muse cover Supremacy is wonderful). Marko Hietala, the bassist and male vocals... everything he touches seem to be cool - after Nightwish, for example, Mika Jaakkola's Soita or Waltari's Below Zero 2021, both feat. Marko. Together, this The End of an Era concert was great!
If you want to hear a little more of Marco I think you should react to "High Hopes" (Pink Floyd cover) from the same concert: th-cam.com/video/4oEDnVeYYyM/w-d-xo.html
Think about it this way as well: Think about it in context with the musical. In the musical, Erik (the Phantom) is perceived to be this troubled soul that needs the care and attention that he was missing and yearning for from Christine. Everyone tends to forget that he's responsible for someone dying in the theater! So in the Nightwish arrangement here, while Marko (bassist/singer) is playing Erik and Tarja (singer) is playing Christine, Marko is playing Erik to be and sound more sinister instead of troubled. And it works. It works so much that Andrew Lloyd Webber stated that this was the best arrangement and performance of Phantom of the Opera that he has ever seen.
Nightwish did another version of Phantom of the Opera November 2022. With Floor Jansen and guest singer Henk Poort. At the Ziggo Dome Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Nightwish Army Texas Division, I always love finding new folks through Nightwish reactions. Every time it brings it smile to my face when other people enjoy their music. Subscribed for more reactions and contents. Have a great week/weekend.
Everyone comes to this song for Tarja and then gets their mind blown by Marko. Watching this happen never gets old. haha Marko left over issues with the music industry, not with the band, so he may not be gone for good. Or he may come back here and there. We can only hope. That man is a damn treasure. And I love Marko's menacing version of the Phantom, he really sounds like a villain when done this way. Also, as far as I know, the only Phantom to play an instrument while singing which just makes it even more impressive ;)
This was in Fall, Helsinki, Finland, 2005. "End of an Era" Tour concert. I was 18, I'm 37 now & I'll never forget it. It was the last time we heard the Siren, the Viking, the Pirate, the Vampire & the Zombie perform together. Cheers from Portland, OR! 😎🍻
Great reaction, thanks!😁👍it's happening often with Nightwish...one cannot pause 😄 Marko is his name and he is an awesome singer❤ You need to listen to High Hopes, a tribute to Pink Floyd...Marko Hietala singing. The same End of an Era concert in Helsinki. Nightwish!!❤🤘🤘 Greetings from Finland, the birthplace of Nightwish 🤘
This concert was about 16 years ago at the Hartwall Arena in Finland. That was singer Tarja Turunnen's last concert with the band, but their current singer, Floor Jansen is absolutely amazing. Sadly, the bassist/male singer Marco Hietala left the band and the music scene last year, possibly permanently, due to personal issues and disillusionment with the music industry. The band still continue and a world tour is now I believe under way.
Marco left Nightwish sure, and based on his exit message it can sure seem like he was leaving music behind for good, but that has not really been the case. Marco has been doing one offs and participated in Finlands Masked Singer etc. He won the whole thing of course, but he is still around and I wouldn't be surprised to see him get back to Nightwish at some point. I don't know what drove him to quit the band, but I guess this whole covid situation hasn't been very good for anyone... It is not like he just went away, he's hanging around, probably doing things he wants to do and enjoying the lighter calendar due to him not having a steady gig with any band. We have certainly not heard the last of him, that is for sure. Be it with Nightwish, another group, solo project but there will be something to occupy his time...
@@TheRealRedAce what are you smoking? No it was not. He left a year ago and the Masked Singer came out last fall... And I don't think those are pre-recorded at least not by that much.
This song is quite special to me: a few years back I listened to it and thought it was awesome. Since then I have got more into Nightwish and now they are one of my favourite bands, maybe my most favourite. There's one word to describe their songs: epic. Listen to these: Ghost Love Score, Poet and the Pendulum, Shoemaker, Gethsemane, Dead Boy's Poem, How's the Heart (acoustic), Sleeping Sun, Greatest Show on Earth. Thanks for the reaction.
And I’m trying to remember, I think the other band that Marco is in, is Tarot, if not them, then, kings of the north, I know one of those is a band he’s in besides nightwish at the time, the other one he’s done performances with, either playing, or signing, is older stuff usually what I can find, back in the 320/480p days of YT, but still epic.
The way you looked enjoying the performance is how I feel every time I watch it. I always want it to be longer, but I think my head would just explode if it was. 😉 There can always be debates about individual singers, but as a performance and experience, I think this is unrivaled. Tarja and Marco together are 1+1=3. Then you have the band, and the concert audience as well contributing. I just love it. I very much appreciated your analysis. This is one of a few videos I guess you could say I use to 'screen' reactors. I'm not sure if you've reacted to ABBA's The Winner Takes It All, but that would be my request. Also, if you haven't heard Home Free, they are a stellar acapella group.
You should definitely check out “Swanheart” live from their Wishes to Eternity concert. It’s a ballad from a much earlier Nightwish show and easily one of Tarja’s best vocal performances.
This concert was recorded in 2005 in Finland. It is the last show of vocalist Tarja Turunen with the band. She recorded the initial demo, the first 5 albums and the first EP. Marko, the singing man, also left the band. The show you just saw is on the "End of an era" dvd. The whole show is excellent. Here is the link with a playlist of the entire concert: th-cam.com/play/PLexzLA11Cst25qKz-jqq513Dr02I2jG4q.html
We all sang to the yellow microphone, yellow microphone, yellow microphone. We all sang to the yellow microphone, yellow microphone, yellow microphone.
I’m curious. You referred to Tarja as singing falsetto. She is a professionally trained classical singer. She studied singing at the Sibelius Academy in Finland and Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe in Germany. Isn’t she actually singing in a modal voice? I’m not a voice teacher. I’m just inquiring. Loved your reaction. It’s fun watching reactors first exposure to this song. 😄🤘
Thank you & Thank you for watching. No she's 110% sing in falsetto for the parts that I mentioned. She does sing in her chest/True Voice for other parts.
Yes should add kitos is Finnish for thank you. Poland 2016 now called Masters of Rock ( then Woodstock) Tarja ( tar-yee-aa) covering Muse: Supremacy, now THAT shows off her power and top of her range.
Every time I hear Marco song in blown away. I mean, when I first started listening to Nightwish I had no idea he had his own band, do suddenly seeing the bassist song like that beside Tarja was a shock.
Hi hope u ok im steve 50 in uk huge nightwish fan got all cds dvds rareities of the band from over 25 years all there music great .u didnt say but in phantom of the opera nightwish hve different vocalist shes tarja .the other nightwish video you seen had floor jansen on vocals .all there songs goodbut yes react to nightwish high hopes live ul love it
your earlier Nightwish reaction was to the 2013 Wacken performance, with Floor Jansen as lead singer, she is still the lead singer of Nightwish. In this video you see Tarja Turunen, the first lead singer the band had, The band fired Tarja in 2005, so this video is from before that. Floor joined during the 2012/2013 world tour, and the years between Tarja and Floor the lead singer was Anette Olzon. The current singer Floor Jansen, also performed this song at a Dutch tv show called Beste zangers (best singers) as a duet with Henk Poort, who has played the Phantom for many years and was actually Andrew Lloyd Webber's preferred phantom, so I definitely recommend you have a look at that performance too.
Hours before. They left a letter backstage and told her to not open it until the morning. At which time a copy had been posted on the website already. Hence the hard feelings. Airing dirty laundry in public and not even having the decency or courage to tell them face to face in private.
Haven't heard him doing lead vocals? Then you should check his band Tarot, if you like classic british heavy metal style with progressive elements. Been around since 1986, falsettos galore.
thanks for the reaction, I love your passionate review after every one of your videos. would love to see you react to some more nightwish songs from wacken 2013, if you havent seen the rest yet. or some other newer bands .
Great and authentic reaction! Thanks and hoping to see more of Nightwish from you - can't wait to see what happens when you hear Floor sing :) ! Just got yourself a new subscriber :)
Some info on Marco, the one playing bass and singing, he had a bad surgery that damaged his vocal chords, quite awhile ago, before this I’m sure, he had to completely relearn how to sing, and he’s still a boss, way better that I’d say most guys, especially who have done rock and metal. How others said high hopes and other songs to react to of him, The Islander is a great one, and probably 90% him, singing/playing guitar. Also greatest show on earth, he sings some in that one too. Sorry if that’s the one you did, first view of your channel for me. I’ll go back and check out your other content. I love nightwish, no matter which of the 3 lead singers they’ve had, but this is one of my top favorites they’ve done.
Oh, he’s also Finnish, so there is a fair amount of lilt and accent, like in the islander, so it adds a little to how he sounds, unless he really wants/needs to be clear, he definitely can, but you can tell he has some accent, doesn’t bother me that it wasn’t super clear at times, but I’m also not a singing/vocal coach, haha.
This is definitely the best rendition of the Phantom. It still gives one goosebumps even after watching it so many time. Definitely Tarja’s best performance. Nightwish’s music is heavy but all their songs are clear complicated and masterpieces You need to check the current lead singer of Nightwish namely Floor Jansen and Henk Poort’s version of the Phantom. All beautiful.
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens heavy metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot diehard fans like me😁. The fans called Wolfpack. The song is "Set the world on fire" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
Great reaction! I'd enjoy seeing more Nightwish reactions. I suggest all live - they are better live. I'd suggest also checking out something from Wacken 2013. You really can't go wrong with Nightwish - Storytime, Romanticide, Ever Dream, all from Wacken, High Hopes, The Islander (Tampere), I Want My Tears Back (Buenos Aires), anything I haven't mentioned. All amazing, and that's only a selection with Floor singing as the female lead. You've got things from Tarja as well. Annette is best in studio versions though.
Thank you for watching. Yes I have done another reaction to Nightwish. It's in my playlist. I have also watch the WACKEN 2013 CONCERT. VERY IMPRESSIVE.
Yeaaah... this's my fav song 🤘🏻😍🤘🏻😍👏🏻😍👏🏻😍🔥🔥🔥 still always makes me ghoosbump to hear it... Please reaction Isyana Sarasvati - il sogno. Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🇲🇨🇲🇨
Nightwish is a Finnish band, English is not their 1st language so that explains off phrasing. This concert was in 2005 in Finland, (End of an Era tour) with their 1st singer Tarja...this was her last show with the band. Marko Hietala (pron: HEE-ah-Tallah), on bass and vocals, is a tremendously talented guy! While this track lends to a more growly/screamy performance, he has a great voice and range that supports a quite high register. There are some fantastic examples of Marko's vocal abilities with songs like High Hopes (a Pink Floyd tribute from this same concert), While Your Lips Are Still Red from Wembley UK. 2015, and The Islander, live at Tampere, Finland 2016. He has great work with his original band Tarot, (song Tides is stunning), and his recent solo project Pyre of the Black Heart recorded both in Finnish and English. And do check out Nightwish with their current singer, Floor Jansen (pron: YAWN-Sehn). A great vocal performance with her and Marko is Ever Dream live at Wacken (pron: VAW-Kehn) 2013, and from the same show, showcasing the amazing Floor...Ghost Love Score. You will not be disappointed with any of my suggestions!
Unfortunately the two singers are no longer in Nightwish. she, Tarja Turunen, has a wonderful career. she does rock concerts and classical music concerts. I would like if you could analyze her more classic side for example Mein herr marquis, ave maria, or mio babbino etc etc and also some song of her other style: love to hate -metropolis-, victim of ritual, supremacy, etc etc. I'd love to! she has a wonderful voice. For me, Nightwish without Marko and without Tarja is not the same.
Floor was a very good replacement for Tarja, since even though she doesn't have the same kind of operatic voice, she has much more range and stage presence. Marko's departure hurt more, though. I hope they recover from it.
This is what Nightwish music does to you 🤘❤ For me it healed my heart. Nightwish music is Tuomas' (keyboards) creation although this is a cover song. Tuomas is called metal Mozart.
I am sad of nightwish isnt turly together both Marko and tarja left but with a voice like tarja you know she will go somewhere else and doing fine she is amazing singer
She did well despite being a bit sick at the time. Romanticide or ghost love score live from Waken 2013. The current Singer will blow your mind as well.
Try Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down - The Source (2017) th-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/w-d-xo.html And Ayreon - Valley of the Queens th-cam.com/video/TbebO5BZi-I/w-d-xo.html
Think your last reaction was to "Ghost Love Score" with their 3rd (and present) vocalist Floor Jansen from 2013, this is the original vocalist Tarja Turunen from 2005..... infact this was her last performance with the band before being fired after this concert (it's a long story), and yes you're right, it is a mind blowing version of the Phantom :)
This was October 2005. Final date and a triumphant return home to Helsinki Finland. ( not from Helsinki ) but are Finnish. They were on tour for their 5th album Once. Suffice to say the split was not ammicable or handled well. Fans were and are split on their reactions. The usual drama what is " real" or " best"/better. Facts Marko left last year for health reasons but had made up with Tarja ( tar -ee-ya) a few years earlier. The current lead singer Floor Jansen was already friends with Tarja before singing with the band in 2011. 2013 she joined officially. Glad to say both ladies are still friends today and have sang together on stage together. But not with NW present. Never any bad blood there. Tarja has had a brilliant solo career and even has a new album and autobiography out. Still married to her husband/manager and a mother. Life is good for her. The band still touring or will be as lock downs end. Tarja has had formal classical training and even sung some opera pieces. Which this isn't despite the name. 😅 1998 to 2005 She was in and a founding member of NW. But the girls up front the dead giveaway to the where and when obviously undergoing the common effect of a Targasm. Common effect when the lady takes to the stage. 😉

This was nightwish at their absolute pinnacle of greatness
You should see him sing High Hopes cover at the same concert. He is the only singer in that one and he’s absolutely amazing. It’s honestly better than the original.
Thank you for watching. Thank you for the information.
Wouldn't call it better or worse. Just a very different experience. :)
@@Qwarzz I'm not too fond of anyone saying that some version or cover is "better" or "worse" anyways since unless we're actually talking about someone not hitting the right notes or making other mistakes, it's simply a matter of taste ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was there... I will remember this gig forever!
Marko is the best singer in Finland, even when Floor and Tarja are present. Really.
Floor is not Finnish though, she's from NL. :D
@@kookoo9235 I said best singer IN Finland, even when Floor is also in Finland.
I love the contrast between Marko and Tarja's vocals!!! Another great song featuring both of them is "The Siren" from the same End of an Era concert
Marco Hietala💙🇫🇮🤗!
You should hear her sing Ave Maria by Paolo Tosti or Mein Herr Marquis from her Beauty & The Beat tour. You would really hear her classical singing. She is amazing.

You should definitely check out “Swanheart” live from their Wishes to Eternity concert. It’s a ballad from a much earlier Nightwish show and easily one of Tarja’s best vocal performances.
This concert was recorded in 2005 in Finland. It is the last show of vocalist Tarja Turunen with the band. She recorded the initial demo, the first 5 albums and the first EP. Marko, the singing man, also left the band. The show you just saw is on the "End of an era" dvd. The whole show is excellent. Here is the link with a playlist of the entire concert: th-cam.com/play/PLexzLA11Cst25qKz-jqq513Dr02I2jG4q.html
At the time of filming it was not known the era was over. It was the "ONCE upon a Tour", tour.
glad you liked it you can graduate to Epica consign to oblivion live at the zenith paris
You should react to Nightwish-The Islander. It shows the talent of the guitarist\singer Marko.
Love the way your eyes were riveted on the video till you finally let out a big breathe after the finale !! Great !!
THANK YOU
We all sang to the yellow microphone, yellow microphone, yellow microphone. We all sang to the yellow microphone, yellow microphone, yellow microphone.
Oh dear, you have summoned the Nightwish army. Incidentally - have you heard Unleash the Archers yet?
Oh no! Should I check it out?
I’m curious. You referred to Tarja as singing falsetto. She is a professionally trained classical singer. She studied singing at the Sibelius Academy in Finland and Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe in Germany. Isn’t she actually singing in a modal voice? I’m not a voice teacher. I’m just inquiring. Loved your reaction. It’s fun watching reactors first exposure to this song. 😄🤘
Thank you & Thank you for watching. No she's 110% sing in falsetto for the parts that I mentioned. She does sing in her chest/True Voice for other parts.
@@voxsingingacademy Thanks
Yes should add kitos is Finnish for thank you. Poland 2016 now called Masters of Rock ( then Woodstock) Tarja ( tar-yee-aa) covering Muse: Supremacy, now THAT shows off her power and top of her range.
Kiitos.
This is ALW's favorite version
Every time I hear Marco song in blown away. I mean, when I first started listening to Nightwish I had no idea he had his own band, do suddenly seeing the bassist song like that beside Tarja was a shock.
The best band of the universe.. saludos desde Argentina!!
Thank you for watching!
Her name is Tarja and they are from and was performing in Finland and she says Thank You in Finnish in the end there. "Kiitos"
Thank you for watching. Stay safe
Tarja has been matching microphones with outfits after Nightwish as well.

Thank you for watching and greetings from Melbourne Australia
Lovely Tarja more or less outdid her self here. Nothing can match her voice and performance, nothing. ❤️🙏❤️
Wow, Vox Singing Academy is here! I'm Nightwish Iowa, and am glad to meet you. What a wonderful experience, as I am sure you no doubt know.
your earlier Nightwish reaction was to the 2013 Wacken performance, with Floor Jansen as lead singer, she is still the lead singer of Nightwish. In this video you see Tarja Turunen, the first lead singer the band had, The band fired Tarja in 2005, so this video is from before that. Floor joined during the 2012/2013 world tour, and the years between Tarja and Floor the lead singer was Anette Olzon.
The current singer Floor Jansen, also performed this song at a Dutch tv show called Beste zangers (best singers) as a duet with Henk Poort, who has played the Phantom for many years and was actually Andrew Lloyd Webber's preferred phantom, so I definitely recommend you have a look at that performance too.
Hours before. They left a letter backstage and told her to not open it until the morning. At which time a copy had been posted on the website already. Hence the hard feelings. Airing dirty laundry in public and not even having the decency or courage to tell them face to face in private.
Haven't heard him doing lead vocals? Then you should check his band Tarot, if you like classic british heavy metal style with progressive elements. Been around since 1986, falsettos galore.
Please react to Nightwish - Wishmaster
From same concert
I love Tarja turunen Queen.
thanks for the reaction, I love your passionate review after every one of your videos. would love to see you react to some more nightwish songs from wacken 2013, if you havent seen the rest yet. or some other newer bands .
Thank you for watching. I will look into some newer nightwish
Tarja the Queen ❤️🔥!!
Great reaction to a great performance !!
Thank You. And thank you for watching.
Great and authentic reaction! Thanks and hoping to see more of Nightwish from you - can't wait to see what happens when you hear Floor sing :) ! Just got yourself a new subscriber :)
Thank you. And thank you for watching. Greetings from Melbourne Australia
Some info on Marco, the one playing bass and singing, he had a bad surgery that damaged his vocal chords, quite awhile ago, before this I’m sure, he had to completely relearn how to sing, and he’s still a boss, way better that I’d say most guys, especially who have done rock and metal. How others said high hopes and other songs to react to of him, The Islander is a great one, and probably 90% him, singing/playing guitar. Also greatest show on earth, he sings some in that one too. Sorry if that’s the one you did, first view of your channel for me. I’ll go back and check out your other content. I love nightwish, no matter which of the 3 lead singers they’ve had, but this is one of my top favorites they’ve done.
Oh, he’s also Finnish, so there is a fair amount of lilt and accent, like in the islander, so it adds a little to how he sounds, unless he really wants/needs to be clear, he definitely can, but you can tell he has some accent, doesn’t bother me that it wasn’t super clear at times, but I’m also not a singing/vocal coach, haha.
Thank you for the information, Thank you for watching
EPIC
This is definitely the best rendition of the Phantom. It still gives one goosebumps even after watching it so many time. Definitely Tarja’s best performance. Nightwish’s music is heavy but all their songs are clear complicated and masterpieces
You need to check the current lead singer of Nightwish namely Floor Jansen and Henk Poort’s version of the Phantom. All beautiful.
I hope you listen to "Ghost Love Score" LIVE from Wacken pronounced (Va-aaan) the watch Floor donifh Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort.
I've done a reaction to ghost love score already. Check it out on my playlist.Thank you for watching
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan?
The band is call "Lovebites"
They all The Beautiful Queens heavy metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal.
And they have a lot diehard fans like me😁. The fans called Wolfpack.
The song is "Set the world on fire"
Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
Thank you & Thank you for watching. Will check it out
@@voxsingingacademy great. Thank you
Great reaction! I'd enjoy seeing more Nightwish reactions. I suggest all live - they are better live. I'd suggest also checking out something from Wacken 2013. You really can't go wrong with Nightwish - Storytime, Romanticide, Ever Dream, all from Wacken, High Hopes, The Islander (Tampere), I Want My Tears Back (Buenos Aires), anything I haven't mentioned. All amazing, and that's only a selection with Floor singing as the female lead. You've got things from Tarja as well. Annette is best in studio versions though.
Thank you for watching. Yes I have done another reaction to Nightwish. It's in my playlist. I have also watch the WACKEN 2013 CONCERT. VERY IMPRESSIVE.
You should try: Dead boy's poem / The Poet and the Pendulum / The Islander
Concert in Helsinki Finland 2005.
Yeaaah... this's my fav song 🤘🏻😍🤘🏻😍👏🏻😍👏🏻😍🔥🔥🔥 still always makes me ghoosbump to hear it...
Please reaction Isyana Sarasvati - il sogno. Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🇲🇨🇲🇨
Nightwish is a Finnish band, English is not their 1st language so that explains off phrasing. This concert was in 2005 in Finland, (End of an Era tour) with their 1st singer Tarja...this was her last show with the band.
Marko Hietala (pron: HEE-ah-Tallah), on bass and vocals, is a tremendously talented guy! While this track lends to a more growly/screamy performance, he has a great voice and range that supports a quite high register. There are some fantastic examples of Marko's vocal abilities with songs like High Hopes (a Pink Floyd tribute from this same concert), While Your Lips Are Still Red from Wembley UK. 2015, and The Islander, live at Tampere, Finland 2016. He has great work with his original band Tarot, (song Tides is stunning), and his recent solo project Pyre of the Black Heart recorded both in Finnish and English.
And do check out Nightwish with their current singer, Floor Jansen (pron: YAWN-Sehn). A great vocal performance with her and Marko is Ever Dream live at Wacken (pron: VAW-Kehn) 2013, and from the same show, showcasing the amazing Floor...Ghost Love Score.
You will not be disappointed with any of my suggestions!
Thank you & Thank you for watching. Thank you for the information. I will check it out.
Yep... English is considered as a third language here in Finland 🥶
@@jaskau2462 What is the second language?
@@voxsingingacademy Swedish :) officially that is, but I'd say more people there speak pretty fluent English than they do Swedish
This is from 2005 and the singer Tarja's last show she was let go right after this show because of personal turmoil with her & the band
Thank you for a nice video, dare to do High Hopes from the same band? :)
Unfortunately the two singers are no longer in Nightwish. she, Tarja Turunen, has a wonderful career. she does rock concerts and classical music concerts. I would like if you could analyze her more classic side for example Mein herr marquis, ave maria, or mio babbino etc etc and also some song of her other style: love to hate -metropolis-, victim of ritual, supremacy, etc etc. I'd love to! she has a wonderful voice. For me, Nightwish without Marko and without Tarja is not the same.
Thank you for watching. Thank you for the information.
She also sang my favorite aria: Song to the Moon!
Floor was a very good replacement for Tarja, since even though she doesn't have the same kind of operatic voice, she has much more range and stage presence.
Marko's departure hurt more, though. I hope they recover from it.
Pretty much everyone watches this video to check out Tarja and is blown away by Marko.
This is what Nightwish music does to you 🤘❤ For me it healed my heart. Nightwish music is Tuomas' (keyboards) creation although this is a cover song. Tuomas is called metal Mozart.
Tarja and Marco new song: Left on mars
Tarja y Marko!!!!
Try to react to a Barry tone lead sabaton Christmas truce for example
Come for Tarja, stay for Marco!
Sensory overload. Yeah.
😊🇫🇮❤️🎶🎹🎸🥁✨🤘
Try FORESTELLA -The phantom of the opera It s crazy
The 2005 version is the best one.
I am sad of nightwish isnt turly together both Marko and tarja left but with a voice like tarja you know she will go somewhere else and doing fine she is amazing singer
You’d love, high hopes 👍. Not a cover, it’s a tribute, in my opinion.
She did well despite being a bit sick at the time. Romanticide or ghost love score live from Waken 2013. The current Singer will blow your mind as well.
I have a reaction video in our playlist for ghost love score already. Check it out. Thank you for watching
@@voxsingingacademy thank you.

Think your last reaction was to "Ghost Love Score" with their 3rd (and present) vocalist Floor Jansen from 2013, this is the original vocalist Tarja Turunen from 2005..... infact this was her last performance with the band before being fired after this concert (it's a long story), and yes you're right, it is a mind blowing version of the Phantom :)
This was October 2005. Final date and a triumphant return home to Helsinki Finland. ( not from Helsinki ) but are Finnish. They were on tour for their 5th album Once. Suffice to say the split was not ammicable or handled well. Fans were and are split on their reactions. The usual drama what is " real" or " best"/better. Facts Marko left last year for health reasons but had made up with Tarja ( tar -ee-ya) a few years earlier. The current lead singer Floor Jansen was already friends with Tarja before singing with the band in 2011. 2013 she joined officially. Glad to say both ladies are still friends today and have sang together on stage together. But not with NW present.
Never any bad blood there.
Tarja has had a brilliant solo career and even has a new album and autobiography out. Still married to her husband/manager and a mother. Life is good for her.
The band still touring or will be as lock downs end. Tarja has had formal classical training and even sung some opera pieces. Which this isn't despite the name. 😅
1998 to 2005 She was in and a founding member of NW. But the girls up front the dead giveaway to the where and when obviously undergoing the common effect of a Targasm. Common effect when the lady takes to the stage. 😉
