    Her name is Floor Jansen "The flying Dutchwoman" she is tall at 6'1 tallest in the band. She sings operatic, rock, classic, in Spanish, growls, everything, she is the most versatile singer in the world today, and one of the most humble and gracious. She joined Nightwish in 2012 in the middle of their USA tour when they fired their singer Anette Olson in Salt Lake City, and called Floor, who was at her sister's wedding, and they asked her "Learn out setlist in 48 hours" and she mmet them 48 hours later in Seattle for her first show. This show is 10 months later and she still had not been asked to become a permanent member yet, that change after this performance she was asked and her answer was a resounding "YES

    Here is some information to help you navigate their music. It is my standard speech...... :-)
    I subbed.............
    Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female
    fronted symphonic metal band. They are from
    Finland.
    Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes
    the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And
    there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK
    who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In
    2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now
    still is.
    Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen
    (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon
    from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and
    current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic,
    soprano.....most versatile) - you just saw her.
    There are live concerts that you should use depending on
    what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival
    live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley,
    Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit live (Floor). I hope this helps.
    I want to welcome you to the
    Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey.
    Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know
    what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish
    fans are hard core. So be prepared. Lol

I don't know many others who have heard of them or Kamelot, Sirenia or anything that isn't played on local radio.

She was wearing boots but I would say 6' 1" is probably where she's at. She is the total package. Great talent, VERY attractive and she seems like a really nice person. The whole band is awfully nice too not to mention extremely talented. You can't help but root for them. Long live Nightwish.

    The music is called symphonic metal and i very populair in Europe and South America. The band is from Finland and founded 1996. So far the band has had 3 vocalists
    1 Tarja Turunen (Finish) pure opera voice also very good live. (until 2005)
    2 Anette Olzon (Schwedish) more pop style. fine in the studio but not good live. (until 2012)
    3 Floor Jansen* (Dutch) (current). * She is the vocalist you saw in this clip. She has a classical vocal background education and can sing any style she likes from jazz to opera high to growling low. Believe me when i tell you you have not even scratched the surface yet of what she's capable of.
    Band members
    Tuomas Holopainen (The keyboard player and creative mind behind the band. He writes about 95% of the music and lyrics)
    Marco Hietela (the viking with the long beard (Bass and vocals)
    Jukka "Julius" Nevalainen (The drummer)
    Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen (the hobbit like guitar player)
    Troy Donockley ( a person who did not play on this song but is a multi instrumentalist from the UK)
    The clip was shot a few months after Floor jointed the band right in the middle of their US leg of the world tour. They asked her to join after tensions between the previous (Anette) vocalist and the rest of the band had rissen so high that they fired her. With close to a year still to go to complete the tour, and their next concert planned 2 day later they, needed a replacement fast. They called Floor because she had toured with them when she was part of the support bands"After Forever" and later "Revamp" on several occasions and they were quiet impressed by her vocals (who would not be?). She only had 2 days, including a flight from the Netherlands to the US, to learn the setlist and only had one rehearsal with the band a couple of hours before her first show and nailed it. Since they were making a documentary about the worldtour a lot of what happened was recorded. The documentary is called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" (ruclips.net/video/vhExkmWKMEU/видео.html )
    As a next song to take a look at i would recommend their masterpiece "The poet and the pendulum" live at Wembley. Before you take a look at it i would recommend to take a look at the backstory of this song. This will make you appreciate it much more. here is the link ruclips.net/video/gbn9GczYBkw/видео.html
    BTW that last note she just sang? Nightwish fans created a whole new word for when she does something impressive like that. We call it a Floorgasm. Welcome to the club and boy are you going to receive a lot of traffic on your channel. ;-)

    She grew up tall and strong!! 6'1" 200lbs. now at 40 years old. Which is why she has a big mouth to match her stature!! Our Valkyrie Goddess of Metal! Opera training plus the Dutch Rock Academy and more private Classical training. She chose music as her life's work and she worked very hard training her vocal apparatus to go from Alto to Soprano.
    Floor Jansen is a role model for all aspiring singers.

    • @dieseldog00
      @dieseldog00 Год назад

      Floor has had opera training but she doesn't consider herself an opera singer per se. She doesn't sing in opera houses yelling over the orchestra pits. She uses mics.
      Another fact; the band played for about 90 minutes and Floor sang every song. Ghost Love Score is a 10 minute song and she sang all of it except the 2 minute interlude and she STILL had two more songs to sing!
      Nightwish has lost two more members in the last seven years. Bassist/vocalist Marko Hietala left the band last January, citing personal reasons and was replaced. Drummer Jukka Nevaleinen left Nightwish in 2015, citing ongoing insomnia and was replaced by his mentor, drummer Kai Hahto.

Once she was no longer in the band I stopped listening to Nightwish. About 2 weeks ago I found this song while introducing my son, a musician, to different typesof music. I am once again in love with Nightwish and have been catching up on what all I have missed. Floor is amazing and a perfect fit .O recommend listening to this whole concert.

    Yes, she is indeed very tall. She’s the tallest person on that stage by a fair margin. XD. Floor Jansen is arguable the best singer in the business right now, a true power house and incredibly versatile. This is a great song, but it only covers about 15% of what she’s capable of. Anything live from her is worth a listen, but the typical follow ups to this song are either Romanticide, Song of Myself, Ever Dream, or Storytime. Stick with the Live from Wacken 2013 for now, but the recordings from Wembley 2015 and Tampere 2016 are also phenomenal.

    Love nightwish! If you really want to hear the best vocal range for Floor try to give Poet and the Pendulum at Wembly a listen. You need to know a bit before you go into that one though. Poet and the pendulum was written by (as were all of the songs actually) by Toumas, the keyboardist when they parted with their first lead singer Tarja (Floor is the third and current singer). There was a lot of backlash towards him on the decision to the point where he contemplated suicide, so he decided to write a song where he killed himself instead. The song talks about his inner struggles on the whole ordeal, and the last bit of the song is what his mother told him, that i feel made him continue on to this day. Great reaction and I hope to see more nightwish reactions from you! The nightwish army is coming, be prepared lol

    Well the 6' 1" (1.8542 meters) Dutch dynamo, Floor Jansen (J is sounded as a Y) a/k/a to her fans as the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal slays another unsuspecting soul. Floor is just the definition of power, range and stage presence. She sings what ever she wants and changes her style on the fly without warning as you can see and hear. If drives like she sings she is a menace on the road (LOL)!! The band and her were performing LIVE, which is the only way to appreciate this band, before 80,000 metal-heads in Wacken, Germany just after Floor was made a member of the band. Some coming out party and this concert all 15 songs (this one was done 70+ minutes into the song set) are truly awesome. Try their Folk Metal sound with Celtic bagpipes mixed in, I Want My Tears back (ruclips.net/video/ga-hR7CYbwQ/видео.html). The band is incredible and always plays tight LIVE and Floor well Floor is Floor, from Operatic, to Metal, to Pop to Growling and everything in between!!

Nightwish.................. a band with a lot of different styles of music , a band with three different female singers , a band with fans from all over the world , a band with one goal , let people connect with the love for music . Tuomas the keyboard player is the writer of the songs and he said ,our music is comparable with the evolution of mankind , always changing , always exploring new things and trying everything , even in music styles. If you really want to understand this Nightwish spectacle you will have to start with the first singer, Tarja Turunen (Finland), has sung. And from there also listen to something from the second singer, Anette Olzon (Sweden). The third singer, Floor Jansen (The Netherlands) you just listened was for many fans an absolutely relief because she really has the stage feeling and a voice that goes with it. I have to warn you , do not comment on who sings best . personally i love all three , I fell in love with the band when Tarja was there , i loved the albums of Anette and now with Floor a new era has began .

    Just so you know, this band's been through tons of drama. They had 2 singers before Floor. The first was Tuomas's school friend, Tarja. He wrote The Poet and the Pendulum after having to fire her. They have a wonderful cover of Phantom of the opera with her, and if you dl the studio of this, she'll be on that too. The second was Anette, who's a good vocalist, but at that time, at least, really struggled live because of all the drama. There's a live version of Slow, Love, Slow where she did alright. If you listen to that or the official vid to Bye,Bye, Beautiful after Tarja's stuff, you'll see why fans were livid.

    Nightwish has a wide span of tunes from the more slow ballads like sleeping sun and while your lips are still red... to the more uptempo as romanticide, wishmaster, storytime...
    But in 2007 the band started to work with Troy Donockely, a multi instrumentalist from England. And he laid down pipes on a few song on "dark passion play".
    He was soon looked upon as a member, so 6 years later he was added as the 6th member.
    His entrance gave them a more folk inspired irish/Scottish sound, which you can hear on songs like "My Walden" and "the islander".

    (Description: Opposite contrast to "Ghost Love Score", this dark toned track has both aggressive or melancholic transitions and Floor's even more sweeping vocal range. This one is keyboardist/songwriter Tuomas's most personal song, dealing with original lead singer Tarja Turunen departure from the band in 2005 and his (very) dark feelings and impact it had on him. NOTE: Floor's arresting delivery is the key component why this performance resonates with so many seasoned Nightwish listeners.
    3) Nightwish - 7 Days to the Wolves (Live at Wembley 2016 in 4k): ruclips.net/video/LOSsvdvixwk/видео.html
    (Description: Showcase of a heavy groovy mid-tempo side of Nightwish with dynamic transitions and smooth harmony vocals by Marco & Floor.)

    I have played violin for 36 years and the musicality of Nightwish (and metal as a whole) is immense and so similar to classical and opera its unreal.

    Strap in, you're in for quite a ride.
    Floor Jansen is a Goddess amongst mortals.
    Well the whole band are (Music Gods) and they've got a massive catalogue, anything from the Waken 2013 show is pure perfection.
