Good reaction again Nikki. This video was filmed at the annual "Raskasta Joulua" (eng. Heavy Christmas) concert. The band has great Finnish musicians and a group of top-class metal singers as soloists. The singers change in different years and this time Floor sang this well-known Christmas carol. 🙂🤘
Nice way to finish the Christmas song reactions. Hope you had a good Christmas. Floor mentioned "Ave Maria" , she and Marko performed that at this 2019 show, recommend putting that on the Christmas list for next year.
This is Floor Jansen performing solo... She has a solo album out now called 'Paragon' and has been doing shows w/ her solo band. She has a ton of music outside of Nightwish - 5 studio albums w/ the band After Forever... 2 albums as ReVamp... 1 album w/ Northward (w/ guitarist Jørn Viggo Lofstad of Pagan's Mind)
Can’t fail with Floor even if she’s singing it in a language she isn’t that familiar with, she just does it! It was a lovely performance and it definitely deserved to be played while there’s still chance, glad that you recorded this one I hadn’t heard it before!
I like Tarja and she has great vocals and nothing wrong but in my humble opinion she's not as versatile as The Goddess. Floor is just in her own league. My first Nightwish experience was with Floor. Like you I also (truly)listened to Tarja after listening to Floor and it was weird at first because I put Floor at the top so quickly. Now i can appreciate Tarja and her talents without comparing it to Floor. Great review as always and to my favorite Christmas song with my favorite singer. Hope you had a fantastic Christmas and have a wonderful New Years Nikki! ❤🤙🤘
Yeah, it will help to have fellow "listened to Floor first" fans watching with me to understand like you do! 😁 Thank you, and Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
You can never go wrong with the NW Arena videos, so there's nothing to be sorry about. Sounding out the year with Floor is ending it on a high note indeed. I'll just respectfully skip the nxt NW part, since I heard their 1st songster live (and had a hard time deciphering the idiosyncratic Finnglish pronunciation). That was loooong time ago, when Floor fronted legendary After Forever and could still write her own lyrics and vocal lines. Ty Nikki & a HNY to you and yours.
Heh yep! It's been a hectic week but I'm trying to keep up (and catch up!) with videos and comments. ☺️ I hope you had a nice holiday as well and a Happy New Year! 🎉
I know 1 Finnish word, (kitos = Thank you.), but her renditions if O Holy Night in Finnish are the most beautiful singing I have ever heard. If you check out other renditions, the band is less loud. Floor's performance is even greater. She sounds Angelic. Ville Lied from Beste Zangers is a close second.
Hi Nikki, Merry Christmas from UK 😉 I totally get your trepidation about reacting to the End Of An Era concert, but that's OK That is the era that I discovered Nightwish and I loved them back then, but I am definately more of a Floor fan You will get to hear some new songs so that is something to look forward to, and if memory serves, Emppu had some great solos back then 😁
Thanks for this one Nikki. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2025 with many Nightwish Wednesdays! I discoved Nightwish in 2019 and like you, am a Floor-era fan, still recognizing the contribution of the previous singers. Tarja's sound doesn't appeal to me like Floor's does, but End of an Era with her is a treat. You will love this concert! Looking forward to the Wednesdays!.
You got it Nikki! Hope your holiday was great! Happy 2025. Give it a shot. I am a huge Floor fan. Tarja is an amazing vocalist. Maybe not for everyone's taste. Don't be nervous. Just honest and respectful. You don't have to love everything. See you soon. Hope your feeling well. 🙏
You can also find Floor singing this song, even higher notes in her advanced stage of pregnancy. ++++++++++++ Don't be nervous about Tarja. Go for it👍 Start right away with her Dark Christmas collection. Check out All I Want For Christmas Is You right away. Mariah Carey used to bodged this pre-Christmas commercial mud before Tarja miraculously turned it to gold. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year❤
Oh wow, she did All I Want For Christmas too? I HAS to be better than the Mariah version! And thank you, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
I had met Nightwish with Floor as a singer. It took me a whole 2 years to get used to the songs with Tarja and certainly 3 years to learn to love her as well. I'm sure that no real Nightwish fan is angry with you that you need your time to learn to love Tarja.
I have stumbled across Nightwish in 2015 and I would never have fallen in love with Nightwish for sure without Floor ! Although Annette was doing nice things primarily on records and Tarja had been already a legend and Tuomas' source of inspiration for many (love) songs, until the "Dark Passion Play" album in 2007.
Yes more videos always good...I left my comments for the Cher song with that reaction Kelly did a better job on her show and the mix with Cher audio much better than whatever that turkey day parade was😂!
Great reaction, Nikki! Im looking forward to seeing your take on Tarja. You might want to check out Ave Maria with Floor and Marko from 2019 Heavy Christmas concert when it hits your schedule th-cam.com/video/q1UJHpyFQn0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_973PvIh59yFmmkv
Please ILTA - While Your lips Are Still Red. ILTA - Nemo ( vain elämää) Nightwish Music. ILTA incredible voice from FINLAND. next Nightwish End Of An Era konsert Helsinki Finland.
Nice reaction as always 😊 Something being on my channel is not a guarantee it is loved by everyone thou 😉 Can't wait to see your End of an Era reactions. I know it is hard to adjust yourself to a new singer, but EoE is the most emotional concert for me. I was just thinking, that did you have a poll about it? Maybe you should start from "From Wishes to Eternity" (2000)? Anyway, I'm fine whatever you decide to do, but give this a thought...happy New Year!
Don't worry. Tarja's voice will grow on you. It took awhile for me to get used to her after my Floor rabbit hole. Her take on Ghost Love Score is really cool. If I was you, I would start with Phantom of the Opera . Marko and Tarja knock it out of the park. Andrew Lloyd Weber loves it, which speaks for itself.

I will do that! And thank you, hopefully you're having a nice holiday season! 🎉
Floor performed at this concert in 2016, being 6 months pregnant.
Goodness! 😅
Floor is so lovely and humble....besides all her qualities. with floor you can never fail. IMO. For me the best vocalist i have ever listen to.
This is Floor Jansen performing solo... She has a solo album out now called 'Paragon' and has been doing shows w/ her solo band.

Hi, very beautiful reaction, thank you
Thank you for watching! 💛
I was wondering where you were. I hope you had a good Christmas and looking for more Nightwish and Floor reactions next year.
Heh yep! It's been a hectic week but I'm trying to keep up (and catch up!) with videos and comments. ☺️ I hope you had a nice holiday as well and a Happy New Year! 🎉
@nikkireviews it's been a hard year but hopeful for the new year as alot of Americans are. . Best wishes for you and your family

@@nikkireviews Trust me, Tarja's version is completely different😁 Btw: the girl in the choir with highlighted lips is her daughter.
I had met Nightwish with Floor as a singer. It took me a whole 2 years to get used to the songs with Tarja and certainly 3 years to learn to love her as well.
I'm sure that no real Nightwish fan is angry with you that you need your time to learn to love Tarja.

Heavy Christmas does not refer to a song
It is an annual event in Finland where heavy metal artists perform Christmas themed music
Yeah I learned that later on in the video. 🙈😂
Warms the heart like a warm cup of eggnog
Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2025. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Oh wow, Netherlands! ❤️ Thank you and same to you! 🎉
Dear Nikki, try Battle Beast song Circus of Doom. It is from Finland , they have great singer and they sound a little like Nightwish❤
She sings finnish
Yes more videos always good...I left my comments for the Cher song with that reaction Kelly did a better job on her show and the mix with Cher audio much better than whatever that turkey day parade was😂!
