Here, another step in your journey, and you have already noticed the diversity of the musical directions approached by the band. The fact that each of their songs sounds different, but at the same time is so distinctly Nightwish, is a testimony to the talent of the composer Tuomas Holopainen, considered by many to be one of the great composers of our time.
Many surprises await you, ladies, and I'm glad to see them through the sparkle in your eyes.
:)
Hi Gabriel, I feel that you have become our Nightwish coach or sensei. We’re excited for the Journey. 😊
@@generationgapreacts and i am joining you on this journey 😍
@@generationgapreacts you are in safe hands with Gabriel 👍
@@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038 I concur
@@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038 As Marco would say; "I agree!" hehe ✌
When i was at Wacken 2013 i was totally shocked, stunned, mezmorized and transfixed not only by Floors voice, but the tightness of the band, the crowd interaction, the lighting and sound. Remember this is a live concert and sound was better than on alot of cds.
I thought Live Aid with Queen was amazing but Nightwish outdo Queen by miles. This whole concert was euphoric, orgasmic theres not enough words to say how exceptional Nightwish are.
I agree, Queen and Freddie Mercury wouldn't make a good pimple on Nightwish's and Floor's asses.
That's very cool that you went to Wacken!
So you are one of those lucky people who are envied bij millions.🤘👏
@@Hansse Sure am. I will never forget it. Ive seen Nightwish 6 times last time November in UK and Wacken is the only concert that i will talk about and rave about as it was so god dn perfect on every level
What a beautiful memory that must be. Thanks for sharing it with us.🤘
You will find, on your journey with Nightwish, that every song is different and excellent. Tuomas does not write filler songs. He gets an idea, starts writing the lyrics and composes the music in his head, which got him the nickname of 'Metal Mozart'. 😊🤘
To show Tuomas' talent is that Gen Gap Ladies need to react his solo song called Adventure of a Lifetime. Tuomas is a fan of Disney especially Scrooge McDuck. He wrote this song. Tuomas became friends with the artist who is second person to continue to draw Scrooge McDuck after original, Carl Banks artist died. Second Artist's name is Don Rosa. Tuomas has his wife also a singer sings his song.
@@MrTech226 A correction to the title of the song, it is A LIFETIME OF ADVENTURE.
Adventure of a lifetime is a song by Coldplay.
Anyway, the song A LIFETIME OF ADVENTURE (official video) from his 2014 solo project/album 'Music Inspired by THE LIFE and TIMES of SCROOGE, the graphic novel by the illustrator/ storyteller Don Rosa, is one of Tuomas' best songs, compositions. It was recorded with an orchestra in London. Beautiful vocals by Johanna Kurkela, Tuomas' wife. She is a perfect choise to sing this song. I love heavy Nightwish songs, but this one is such a beautiful song.
Background info, interesting and funny: Holopainen and Rosa interviewed by Radio Nova,
parts 1&2, only 5 minutes altogether.
@@Idefixu Thanks for the correction. I went back to the video. I noticed the title and say crap! lol
You are so right, she is the whole package. Floor made an already incredible band absolutely incomparable. Loving your reactions!
"Next level" is overused, but that's exactly what happened when they brought her aboard.
Keep in mind that's more than 82,000 crazy fans she has clapping with her. This was truly an epic concert. Every song performance is very tight and different. Love your reactions; nailed them totally. We are in our mid 70s and discovered this band through our older son five years ago. They have dominated our viewing time ever since. Every member of this band has immense talent with NO ego. They are truly a family of extraordinary performers who enjoy their performances as much as their fans do. We'd like to suggest our favorite performance of all, "7 Days To The Wolves" from their 2015 sold out concert at Wembley Arena. It is very high energy, yet melodic as well. By the way watch toward the end for some crazy windmilling by Tuomas (keyboard and composer). Here is the link with lyrics ruclips.net/video/WUdU9GLks5s/видео.html Greetings from your fans from southeast Arizona.
Well, 81,999 crazy fans clapping with her, anyway.
Straw Hat Guy must've been doped to the gills that night.
You're right when you say Floor is the whole freakin' package. Check her out on these 2 other songs. Floor Jansen - "Shallow (Lady Gaga cover)" and "Phantom of the Opera" on the show BESTE ZANGERS. She'll blow your socks off!!
You girls are in for the ride of your life, because you ain't seen nothin' yet. Every member of the band love making music. They are perfectionists. Floor is an empath, and feeds off the reactions of the crowd...and you have seen the crowd! This was a mutual appreciation concert, Nightwish and the audience. The back and forth was a feeding frenzy for emotions. Oh, Floor is Dutch i.e. Windmilling, which makes sense, huh. And wait until you see Tuomas windmilling while playing the keyboard(in 7 Days to the Wolves). Tuomas and Floor are not allowed to windmill within 10 feet of each other, because they cause tornados.
I have to say you two are adorable, found you on the first Nighwish reaction and watched your back catalogue. Welcome to the Nightwish Army. All ages welcome I'm a lot closer to mother's age and still rock hard, but can't headbanging as long as I used to.
Thanks Keith! Moms turning into a rocker right before our eyes :)
@@generationgapreacts Tuomas & the band new of Floor from touring with her 1st band : AfterForever & her 2nd band ReVamp :
They where actually hoping she would have been available after they fired their 1st singer, but they had to wait a while :)

Hello girls
Floor's voice 10%and loading....
Hey Lady you aren't never ever late for NIGHTWISH, it's great to have a new people discovering how great this band can be, hope you stay whit us in the most magical journey
We are here whit you CHEERS FROM NIGHTWISH ARMY COSTA RICA DIVISION 🤘💀🇨🇷
Thank you Jose! 😊
Please stay with the same concert and check out "Song of Myself " Everdream " and Romanticide " ... absolutely epic !!!!
Ah,there it was again...."This is my favorite Nightwish song". I can sure you that you can not find favorite Nightwish song because each song feels favorite on their own way. If trying to find favorite song, it is like walking circle.From where circle starts and where it ends?
Floor is real queen of rock and goddess of emotions...She lives songs thru,not just sing.
Just wait when your time comes with most emotional songs of Nightwish.,..Lot of sadness but also joy to come!
Hi there, Hugo from the Netherlands here. Allso the country where Floor was born.
There is a dutch tv show called the reunion. It is about a class of a certain year of a special person. In this particular episode there are more special persons because they choose the class of Floor Jansen while she attended the rock academy in Tilburg -(dutch city)
There is a version with english subtitles where she explains how she got a call on her sisters wedding with the question would you like to be Nightwish new singer.... Luckely for us all she said yes...
Watch that episode and you will love Floor even more because she is a very sweet and humble person.....
De reunie met floor (english subs)
And for her voice... Check out
Beste zangers tv show with Floor Singing Shallow from lady gaga.
"....she is a very sweet and humble person...". My thoughts exactly when I watched it.
@@ladyjane1672 I have met Floor in person and she's indeed a very nice humble and genuine person. With a good sense of humor too. In her performances, you get how she is. And yes she does have 'two sides' that she calls 'the wolf' and 'the dog'. The dog is when she's at home doing her thing, being friendly and social with her family. The wolf is her side that come out on stage to rock out.
The first time I heard Storytime I was so moved, it brought me to tears with the uplifting energy, inspiring lyrics and amazing music and vocals. I really felt how awesome it was and it got me real good :D I have seen this performance hundreds of times but I´m always left with the same feeling of awe. Nightwish is magic in my life!!!
When i hear fun, and queen then i think of 'I want my tears back' from Buenos Aires.
Background from wiki:
Composer and lyricist of the song, Tuomas Holopainen has said that "Storytime" is inspired by the 1982 movie The Snowman, the theme of which was previously covered by Nightwish for their Oceanborn album. The idea for the music of "Storytime" was born when Holopainen wondered why no-one had made a remake of the film, and pondered on what his version of the score to the scene in which "Walking in the Air" plays would sound like.
In a teaser text released prior to the release, Holopainen summarized the song:
"How would it feel to take a midnight flight with a snowman through the most wondrous landscapes, like in the classic animated Yuletide film? The meaning of our very existence is created though stories, tales and imagination. They are at the very core of humanity."
The lyrics references several classical pieces of fiction concerning imagination, including the character of Peter Pan and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The lyrics also mention the mythical Gaia, the Greek primordial Earth goddess.
They should react to Tuomas' Adventure of a Lifetime with his wife singing the song.
Gaia is the original name of planet Earth. One the multiple names this planet has had through its history.
You definately should have decent headphones for Nightwish. 😊
I think next song you gonna love is "Song on myself". Anyway, go on, they have a lot more)
You nailed it with the more ‘pop’ vibe with this one vs the classical style of GLS. This song was written for their second singer Who brought a more pop element to the vocals vs Tarja who was far more classical/opera.
She still has more in her toolkit you’ll see as you both continue to go down the rabbit hole…
Love it!
This was more pop because it was written for Annette, their second singer. When they moved on after Tarja to Annett they specifically tried to try to be more mainstream. Albums were great, but Annette just did not have the stage presence and did not handle the older style as well. Important to understand that this Wacken set list was Annette’s second album tour and technically Floor is just covering
their songs. Their last two albums were written for and recorded by Floor. You will get to those songs in the last and discover yet another side of them (a touch more Celtic in places).
Your favorite NW song will usually be the one you’re currently listening to. 😉
Yes correct!!
I concur
The group is from Finland & she’s taller than all the guys - she’s like a Amazon Viking Rocker Princess
The group are Finnish, Floor is Dutch and Troy (the multi-instrumentalist) is English.
Very multi-cultural
I'm not sure that she's taller than Tuomas, I thought he's at least a couple of centimeters taller. Also, from the current lineup, Jukka (Koskinen) is definitely taller. Floor is very tall for sure, but her high heels add a few inches.
Jukka the bassist is taller than Floor
Floor is 185cm and Tuomas is188cm
The pictures I saw she was in Cowboy Boots & taller than her band mates….
Nightwish Army UK popping in for a little story ... we love you mom but not as mush as daughter You have a great appreciation and ear for the music.
answer your question on 1301 in the video : they found her in the Netherlands .
she got the call at her sister's wedding asking if she wanted to fill in because their current singer quit during the tour.
she knew Nightwish but due to her burn-out Floor had not heard ANYTHING about the new album yet.
she then took a plane from the Netherlands to America in 48 hours AND also learned 15 songs with the lyrics well enough to be able to sing them.
this can be seen in the Nightwish Documentary : please learn the setlist in 48 hours.
I love Jukka's style and his drumming 🥁🤘❤ Those twirls with his sticks 😎 Another master piece is 'Song of Myself'.
Next one will be just as good.. or even better! If you wished that then you're wish will come true.🥳🤩👀🤨🤔
Dead Boy’s Poem live from Buenos Aires will absolutely blow your mind.
Yep, the stage presence of our Valkyrie Goddess is amazing. You just can't take your eyes off her. - And if you check out some of her videos on her own RUclips channel (where she answers questions, jokes, shows her life with her horses, etc.), you'll notice how kind, humble and down-to-earth person she really is.
As people say, "singers sing what they can, Floor🌷 sings whatever she wants". Not to mention her presence. She's unbelievably captivating/magical.
Found Nightwish about a year ago on YT reactions like this one and fell in love. They became my favorite band of all time. I was lucky enough to see them live back in May in NYC. Greatest show I have ever seen in my life. As good as this is, it keeps getting better as you explore more Nightwish. While this song may be my favorite of theirs, there's others that contend for that title. I suppose it just depends on my mood. One of the greatest bands in history, and for me, I don't know anything better. I look forward to your exploring more of what they can do!
I found symphonic metal about 5 years ago and I love Nightwish seen them 3 times I love other bands from this genra like within temptation, Delain and Epica Wait until you react to Epica's sanca teara with Floor live from retrospect You will hear simmons voice with Floor and you jaw will hit the floor (pun intended)
Floor was in a band called After Forever, which she joined as a teenager. They played symphonic metal, similar to Nightwish, and shared a lot of the same fans as Nightwish. They even toured Europe opening for Nightwish. So, the band knew her, and the fans knew her, as well, so she was a natural choice. You’ll find that every song you react to becomes your new favorite, and no two of them are alike. Tuomas, the keyboardist, writes most of the music and lyrics, and Marco…the bass player…you’ll find is also a great singer. As another reactor once asked, after hearing Marco sing for the first time, “how do you have two singers that good in the same band??” ☮️
And you still havent heard anything yet. ;) The rabbit hole is deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. And they dont have a single bad song. And theyr'e all different. Floor is our Valkyrie Goddess!! And they all have a blast together. Nightwish isnt just a band or experience. Theyre a family. As for the wind milling, Floor uses proper techniques. Notice she puts her hands on her knees, it gives her proper support. Also the drummer here is Jukka (Yu-ka) (You-ka). While he's my favorite drummer ever. Kai is the best person to ever replace him. He and Jukka are great fiends.
May I suggest Nightwish "Ghost River", "Romanticide" or "Dark Chest of Wonders" from the same concert (Wacken 2013) next??
Saw this band at Terminal 5 NYC on May 8 after 2x canceled because of COVID. Twice canceled flights and hotels and then final date set for May. Drove 700 miles one way and $500 a night hotel in midtown Manhattan and would do it again tomorrow if it was an option. Looking forward to their return to the USA🤘
Was at the NY concert too! Soooo worth the wait!
Nightwish really appreciates their audience. At the end of their concerts they come out on the stage, take a bow, and applaud the crowd. Every song is different - metal, folk, ballad, Celtic, jazz, etc. Whatever mood you're in, you can find a song to listen to. Can't wait for you to hear Floor growl. She goes lower than Marko. Tuomas, the keyboardist, composes about 95% of their songs. I laughed when you said this was a favorite song - there's a joke among the fans, whatever new song you're listening to is your favorite.
Neat! Keep in mind that this is all live too. AMAZING. I'd suggest "Everdream" or "Song of Myself" from the same concert next. ••• Thanks! PEACE!!!
The respect you two have for each other makes this show just great but if you two keep rocking around I'm going get dizzy and fall down.
😆 You and mom both!
Nightwish is a lifetime journey to humanity 🔥❤️ They are family and you can see that on stage 🥰🇫🇮
Been listening to them for 3 months and still haven't heard all they have to offer. Best band ever. You will never be disappointed. Next 2 you need is Song of Myself or Romanticide you will Windmills for those for sure...lol

Hi Martin, that’s fantastic! Thank you! 😊
@@generationgapreacts - Sleeping Sun is my favorite Nightwish song. Definitely give it a listen!
To me Jukka is a fantastic drummer and I always love watching him play - he's soooo into it and plays with his whole body and soul somehow. New drummer Kai is probably a better drummer technically. But it's cool that Jukka is still in the Nightwish family, working "behind the scene". It's so sad that Marco (bassist) left the band - to me he's irreplaceable abd Nightwish will never be the same without him... Great reaction! Thanks
Shut up and move on. And enjoy the lineup. Stop whiney cry baby. The band is still with the new bassist
Enjoy , the new Bassplayer. Jukka Koskinen. He is amazing.
@@ralfmeyer9086 Anybody can play bass, but Marco's other talents and Floor together can't be replaced.
@@bennybuffylove Wait to Nightwish Album 10. Jukka can sing, very good. But, we have Floor, see it at Hellfest or Deichbrand.. Marko left point. He never comes back ps everybody can play Bass???😓🤔😓
and now we are 2022 and their performances are still superhuman. Their shows are just fantastic and Floor is just divine.🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
Two things, the previous song that you listened to was Phantom of the Opera with the first singer, Tarja, who was operatic and Ghost Love Score was also written for her. This song was written for the second singer, Anette, who was more poppy. And Floor gives it more of an edge plus she sings the operatic middle section which Anette couldn't and relied on a recording. As you progress through more of the performances with Floor you will get to appreciate the versatility of her vocals and story telling. By the way I'm 70 years old and discovered them 3 years ago with Ghost Love Score and Floor. She is the best I've ever heard. Also enjoy her own RUclips channel where she performs so many amazing covers. Tuomas on keys writes virtually everything and it's 9 albums so far.
oh my... I am sure you have a list of Nightwish tracks but as you are such a lyrical analyst I cannot wait for you to react to some, Dead Boys Poem, Elvenjig and Elvenpath but especially the big two, Poet and the Pendulem and The Greatest Show on Earth. Love the reactions btw
Thank you Pete! Excited for the songs you mentioned :)
With all the parts you said you loved with the quire voice and metal and stage presence. I can't wait till you get round to Sancta Tera by Epica but featuring Floor. 🤞🤘
I've only been watching your channel for a few days but am loving it. Keep up the great work. 👏
Your Husband would understand your fancying him 🤣
Thank you Reuben 😂 Love the song suggestion since you mentioned the metal choir aspect.
Oh, I have shown my husband these songs behind the scenes and he fancies Floor so we're even!
@@generationgapreacts We ALL fancy Floor! 😂
My dear ladies, I’m 63 now and just found out about NW Januari 2020. Last week I went to their gigs in Amsterdam (2x), and Düsseldorf, you can say I’m a crazy fan by now! Like your mother, I had all the “metal” prejudices you can think of. Now I consider myself a metal head, I even got to like the heavier stuff, as long as it’s melodic I’m fine with it. Please enjoy your Nightwish journey, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with all the great music that’s awaiting you.
I hope you'll get to her performances in Beste Zangers (Dear Singers) 2019. A Dutch tv-show with singers who sing songs to /from eachother in the nicest, intimate setup on Ibiza with a briliant band. She does Phantom of the Opera for example, with an opera/musical singer which Floor is a fan of..😍
So cool you discovered Nightwish! Always fun to see Floorgasms, i know how you feel!
Everyone thinks they know what Nightwish sounds like, until they hear the next song.
WINDMILLING. Floor said that in her early days she was getting pain from headbanging and realised she could have problems, so she consulted a physiotherapist. They worked out that the way to headbang with least damage was with the windmill BUT you should brace your hands on your thighs and use your shoulders to help you. Before trying the windmill check how Floor does it. Romanticide next followed by Song of Myself please.
Love watching your Nightwish journey can't wait till you discover Epica and Ayreon.
Mum / Mom, do not be deterred by your age! The army is full of mature people who have discovered that metal is not exclusively what they thought! The last Nightwish concert I went to had such a range of ages with everything from a child of 12 (technically too young to attend!!) all the way through to some in the 70s and they were just ages I noticed and had interacted with! Another reactor said that Jukka looks like he is riding a Harley which is so true 🤣 You ladies have been discovering so much music and it pleases me greatly that Nightwish can potentially draw you into metal as well. In some ways metal and rock are the last bastion of "real" music and "real" singers as current pop has shifted the emphasis away from any actual ability to sing to simply having a memorable hook.
That was amazing! What an incredible musical journey! There is no category for this group. They are their own category. I thought the stage was going to blast off into the stratosphere when the clapping started. Then, I almost thought I was listening to Baroque music. Amazing!
Dear ladies - please consider very carefully if you want to continue into the Nightwish Universe - you will be addicted. ..
Sorry - too late - you have already hooked and become members of the Nightwish Army - addicted for life😅
Just buckle up and open your minds for something incredible - Nightwish and Floor are going to carry you into a whole new musically universe, that will blow your minds.
And sometimes in the near future, you will start digging deeper into the lyrics....
We are here to support you 👍 🤘 🤘
Important to remember. None of these songs were written for Floor. She had joined the band mid tour about a year prior. Theres a cool video called "Please learn the set list in 48 hours." about her joining the band. I discovered Nightwish about 2 years ago on RUclips and loved them so much I drove 6 hours to see them in May 2022. I'm closer to mom's age (63) and this music appeals to all ages. Love your reactions and hope you continue your journey
GLS is always the beginning, because new reactors don't have any idea about Symphonic Metal. And the song has a lot of elements of this genre. The diversity of NW is huge. Every song is different. So yes. You still have no idea how deep this rabbit hole is going to be. Next one should be "Ever Dream" or "Romanticide" - both Wacken. And if you like to discover the 2nd unbelievable Symphonic Metal Band next to Nightwish - please react to Epica. Best one to start is "Unchain Utopia" Omega Alive. Trust me. 😊
Floor has thousands of voices and all are powerful and beautiful. She can growl too. They also have more soft and hard sides.
From my friend AL :Nightwish is undeniably cool on multiple fromlevels. This Finnish symphonic metal band has earned its coolness factor through a combination of exceptional musical talent, a unique fusion of genres, and captivating live performances.
First and foremost, Nightwish's music is a blend of symphonic, operatic, and power metal, creating a sound that's both epic and enchanting. The band's melodies are marked by powerful orchestration, operatic vocals, and metal guitar riffs, resulting in a distinct and dynamic sound that appeals to a wide range of music lovers.
The band's founding members, Tuomas Holopainen and Emppu Vuorinen, are renowned for their songwriting skills. Tuomas' compositions often draw from mythology, fantasy, and literature, adding depth and storytelling to their music. This combination of musical prowess and lyrical depth is undeniably cool for fans who appreciate intricate and emotive music.
Nightwish's live performances take their coolness to the next level. Their shows are known for their grandeur and theatricality. A Nightwish concert is not just a musical performance; it's an immersive experience that combines stunning visuals, elaborate stage setups, and charismatic frontwomen like Tarja Turunen, Anette Olzon, and Floor Jansen, who all brought their unique presence to the stage.
Furthermore, Nightwish's international success has made them a prominent figure in the symphonic metal scene, helping to popularize the genre worldwide. Their influence on subsequent generations of metal and rock bands only adds to their coolness.
In summary, Nightwish's combination of musical virtuosity, lyrical depth, theatrical live performances, and their role in popularizing symphonic metal make them an undeniably cool band in the eyes of many fans and a significant presence in the global music scene.
So many people start listening to Nightwish and find out that they have an inner rocker/metalhead inside themselves. They really know how to bring that personality out of you. So dont be to surprised about it mom :P Love your expressions and reactions. Greetings from The Netherlands
I'm watching you react right now and would love to see you react to Nightwish - Everdream 🙏😍
It was the night before
When all through the world
No words, no dreams
Then one day
A writer by a fire
Imagined all of Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man's heart...
A painter on the shore
Imagined all the world
Within a snowflake on his palm
Unframed by poetry
A canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back into the stars
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the journey
I am the destination
I am the home
The tale that reads you
A way to taste the night
The elusive high
Follow the madness
Alice you know once did
Imaginarium, a dream emporium!
Caress the tales
And they will dream you real
A storyteller's game
Lips that intoxicate
The core of all life
Is a limitless chest of tales...
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
Searching heavens for another earth...
Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. A-ah-a!
Neverland, innocence, every man, Peter Pan
Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. A-ah-a!
Neverland, innocence, every man, Peter Pan
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
And i see you have reacted to Pink Floyd before so it would be awesome to see you react to Nightwish covering (actually more of a tribute) Pink Floyds song High Hopes 🙏👏🤟
I say this cause I watch alot of reactions but you two are one of the few I listen till the end. You and your mom are so insightful and are great at detailing how you feel about the music without being experts in a field. Love it, Keep being wonderful!
Oh wow thank you so much! That is such a kind thing to say and really made our day ☺️
My mum will be 65 soon, she never liked metal. I've been metalhead for 20 years. She always said metal music was noise and screaming. But... when I showed her Nightwish and other bands a few years ago... she fell in love right away... people think metal is not music but when you listen to it and appreciate the artists... it's something wonderful.... my mum fell in love with Nightwish and Floor right away, in December I took her to her first Nightwish concert as a gift, and she was delighted and happy. Metal music brings people together and gives them joy, you must not delete this music after stereotypes, as everyone usually does. Thanks for your reaction and welcome to the world of metal and Nightwish, cheers :)
Every song at this Wacken show was written for one of the first 2 lead singers, Floor added to the originals and made them her own. She had only been with them about 10 months here, having taken over mid tour. Ghost Love Score was written for Tarja. This was written for 2nd lead singer ,Anette Olzon, who is more of a pop/rock style. Anette didn't do operatic vocals, that part was done with a choir originally, the London Metro Voices choir.. Floor can do it, so she took over those parts herself.
Correct, Tuomas on keys is the primary songwriter. He likes themes of stories and childhood innocence, and he is a fan of composer Hans Zimmer and Disney.
Love you guys! My new favorite Nightwish reactors! Looking forward to your journey!
Nightwish found Floor because they already knew each other since 2002.
Floor is a trained musical musician and yet she remains the humble, friendly and authentic character on stage. She enjoys every concert again and again. In doing so, she approaches each song again and again as a new challenge like a professional actress should. She takes it as a challenge to tell each song as a unique story and does it like a musical artist.
I like to advertise you to watch her performances at Fort Lauderdale 2012 singing “Slow, Love, Slow” when she was less than 2weeks with Nightwish.
At the age of 16 Floor started her career in the Netherlands (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.
Tuomas knew Floor since August 20th, 2002 when Nightwish played in a sold-out and swelteringly hot “Hof Ter Lo” in Antwerp (Belgium) with her band “After Forever” as support act.
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 still within ReVamp, but recovering from a burnout) Tuomas gave her a call and asked her to come over to the USA IOT replace Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour.
Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp worked under the same Nuclear Blast record label.
I'm 56 years old, been a Metalhead since I first discovered the music form in 1974 when I was 8 - I was introduced to Nightwish about 4 years ago and they completely blew my mind , within a month I'd bought all their CD's and DVD's and they are without doubt my favourite band. You have a great ride ahead of you if you really dive into their music 🤘
This was the actual song that got me introduced to Nightwish and the Valkyrie Queen. Wacken 2013 is arguably the best metal live show today. There’s not one song that “just good”. They all amazing. Thanks for an awesome reaction.
I was thinking "oh, they don't know what's coming" when you said something about her voice being more "poppy" in this one.
Your Mom is Adorable. A Rocker at Heart!
🇬🇧 Norfolk strapped in and ready to go,keep them coming NW army with you all the way 😊
When she was asked to join them to continue the tour she was at her sisters wedding and had to learn the set list in 48 hours! There is a video of that ,she had only been with them 9 months at this concert
Your with the Nightwish army you will fall in love with this band she reminds s a metal queen you rock need more from this band
NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. Love your reaction. Glad you are loving our Valkyrie Queen. The windmill she does powers the energy of the Army that will follow NightWish forever❤
Floor was bouncing back and forth with classical, opera, and traditional rock style in Ghost Love Score. She is just that talented. She can and will do it all. I am looking forward to you two hearing her growl, and if you want to hear some pop music from her, check out her version of The Shallow from the reality sho Beste Zangers 2019.
When Floor joined Nightwish they both saved each other. They needed each other and the stars aligned when she agreed to join them. Bear in mind she had 48 hours to learn the set list before her first show with them. They knew each other already before she joined from when Floor was in for first band After Forever. Floor is something special and has an aura about her. Such a genuine gentle soul but incredibly tough.
And she was out of singing for well over a year with burnout. They did save each other because with Anette he band was falling apart.
We call it windmilling because Floor is Dutch. Floor has stated that the secret to aggressive windmilling is to bend forward and put your hands on your hips. This helps to protect your back from injury.
You-kah! We all love him and miss his on stage flamboyance and attitude. He is still helping Nightwish in a management position. He was forced to step away due to a severe case of insomnia and migraines.
We do love you mom. I am almost your age and I know what you are going thru trying to find the right adjectives and words to describe this amazing band.
Wait until you see Floor in her 2015 performances. Since 2013 she has been adding ink to her arms very much like yours. Tuomas (keyboards) writes most of the music and lyrics for Nightwish. He likes to use children's choirs in some of their songs. He is also very poetic in his lyrical style.
So much more to experience. Every song is slightly different yet still very Nightwish. Hope to see both of you beautiful ladies again very soon. Be well.
To your mom that I am also 65 years old also!!! But, I have been into harder rock since I was a young boy! Yes, I listened to the Beatles, The Doors, Moody Blues, etc...but I really loved Led Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne, Steppenwolf, Grand Funk Railroad, Nazareth.... that list is really long!
I discovered Nightwish about 4 years ago, and I fell in love with their music!!! What's not to love!
Love your reactions :)
To your thoughts how did they get Floor:
Actually they didn´t search very long when Floor joined the band because it was in the middle of an US tour where they´re second singer got sick and they needed a back up singer and Floor stepped right in. At that time they already knew each other from somewhere in the music biz. Floor had her own bands before Nightwish so she wasn´t new to the people in the scene.
There is a documentary about her entering Nightwish that´s called "48 hours to learn the setlist" I think. In this documentary or perhaps in an interview sometime later Toumas (the Keyboarder who also writes and composes almost all their songs) speaks about his thoughts when they needed a back up and if my memory works correct he said something like he thought only Floor could do it so they called her... while she was in the middle of her sisters wedding. Anyways Floor stayed and the second singer Annette Olzon did go or was kicked out. Not 100% sure how exacty they handled that.
At that Wacken Festival (big Metal Festival in Germany at a place where usually cows are grazing, that´s the reason for the big bulls head at the stage) she was with the band for less then a year and still "only back up". I think at the end of the show they announced her as her new front singer, but again not sure about that.
All the best from Germany :)
That´s all I have to say about that. (love Forrest Gump too ^^)
If you want to give yourselves SEVERAL MORE treats there are a few songs you might want to check out that show Floor's versatility and range -
" ROMANTICIDE " - which shows a heavier side - ruclips.net/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/видео.html
" SLEEPING SUN " - slower and more melodic - ruclips.net/video/NI-wsoctN7U/видео.html
" SANCTA TERRA " - a wonderful duet with Simone Simons of EPICA - ruclips.net/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/видео.html
and finally( ish ) -
" WHILE LOVE DIED " - Northward ( which was a side project with Norwegian guitarist Jørn Viggo Lofstad - ruclips.net/video/bAiPeSsqD-4/видео.html
I’d suggest giving the performance of the song Sahara live in Tampa Florida if you’d like to see more of Floor’s playful and flirty side with the audience. And Alpenglow live in Mexico City to see more of her storyteller qualities plus the joy she feels and generates when she’s performing. It’s infectious.
Thank you for the reaction. Please not feel forced by all the copy pasted lists they shove in your face asking for another 1000 reactions
Girls you don't have to worry about your favourite Nightwish song. Your favourite is the one you are listening to. I'm so jealous that you have so many new songs to discover. I have the chills every time, but nothing could compare with the first time Floorgasm in every song.
They really lucked out. Great way to put it. You can see it in they expressions of the band members. How did we luck out with a fill-in singer that fits so well. Nightwish is her element.
Love your reactions, anything from that concert is fire. Song of myself, everdream and ghost river are absolutely awesome cheers from Australia
Such a joy watching you both go down this rabbit hole. May I suggest "Romanticde" from the same Wacken concert. Im here for it. Great reaction.
You both are great together in enjoying music and talking about it. Watching and listening together with you makes the experience much intenser, enjoyable and more interesting to me. Thank you!
Hello ladies, greetings from UK 😊
I just love love love your reactions, and I eagerly look forward to your next ones
You had me really worried! On your last reaction you said that you would be reacting to this on Thursday. When that day came and went I was worried that somebody had said something bad in the comments and put you off doing any more reactions. I looked and looked but couldn't see anything 🤣
I am so happy that you have found another favourite 🙂 I wonder how many mainstream pop singers could sing this song to the same standard as Floor?
Mom, you may find the next song 'Romanticide' challenging because it is real metal (Baby will love it!), but the song after that 'Ever Dream' is much less so and shows you just how powerful Floor's vocals are, so please bear with us!
'Romnticide' is about a romance which has broken down. When you react to it, listen out for 'The Banshee Wail' of Marko and Floor towards the end of the song. You will recognise it when you see/hear it! 😁
NW and Pink Floyd both are interesting in that they are clearly them in all their songs, all songs are different, and every time u hear them it feels like your new favorite song from them. The pop feel is partially because the singer before Floor and after Tarja was more poppy while Tarja more operatic and Floor anything she wishes
I agree. That said, I'm sure You are aware of NW's cover of High Hopes, with Marco singing? It is awesome!
Anyway, here is the link for that: ruclips.net/video/4oEDnVeYYyM/видео.html
@@runkkariruune absolutely, I'm a huge fan of PF, favorite band, and I think that NW did it better
I was at their concert in Amsterdam 2 weeks ago. It was fantastic!! Just a few weeks after Floor's breast cancer surgery and she was rocking like crazy. So much respect!
Best song, best video ever in the history of music and I'm 73. My 3 year old granddaughter's favorite song and video. She can windmill with the best of them and even sings along some parts of the song, mostly the aahh aahh parts and ending. Floor Jansen - Live In Amsterdam Full Concert Sept. 2021 is about as good as it gets also. No female on earth compares to Floor Jansen for any aspect of singing.
Another great reaction to Nightwish and Floor Jansen. Thank you girls, you make the videos much more enjoyable. Keep going with your Nightwish journey.

I hope this list is a good start for your journey and I hope the rest of the Nightwish Army agrees with these choices :) Thanks :)
What a nice reaction. And mom don't worry about this, you're doing just fine. There are many pre judices about metal heads, but in reality we appreciate everyone who enjoys this type of music, no matter what color, age or gender. The army welcomes everyone. You will see literally see everyone in the crowd if you ever decide to go to a concert, young, old and every color & gender of the rainbow. All there to enjoy this amazing band. You can feel the energy through the video, but seeing them live, the energy is electrifying. I am wired for days after a concert. 🤘🏽
Oh, you have to do Romanticide next. You will get to hear Marco (bass player) sing and harmonize with Floor. Love your reactions, ladies. No two songs of theirs will sound the same. Wait till you two check out Floor solo and with her previous bands. She will continue to blow you away.
Being Symphonic Metal allows them to take their music in several different directions. They have the longer, grand, epic style songs, but they also have several of the more traditional Metal style songs as well... and like this one, just about everything in between. They even have songs with a bit of Celtic Rock kind of vibe. But no matter what basic style of song they are going for, their songs will all have those signature symphonic elements that give the music that distinct full, rich sound.
This music is considered Symponic Metal. Almost all their songs are completly written and composed by the Metal Mozart Tuomas (the one on the Keyboard) Floor can sing in almost every style you can imagine from legit Opera to screams and growls. This would probably be closest to a pop sound. Ghost Love score was definitely a Classical set up.
I like that Drummer as much as you:). He was the reason, to playing drums as well, many years ago. I think it was in the year 2000. He's still such an idol for me.
Nightwish had seen Floor singing in her first band After Forever so they knew what she could do.😈❤️🇧🇻
No 2 songs are the same and the last song you heard will be your new favorite. Can't wait until you all meet the 6th member of the band Troy the multi = instrumental player ! 💜🎤🎸🤘🥁🎹🎶
That some Valkyries energy from the goddess right there🔥⚔
Floor Jensen the queen of metal🤘🏽❤
Please continue the Nightwish journey, there is so much more!
Welcome to the world of Nightwish, and their big family, welcome to the Happy Metal. I discovered them 2 years ago, I'm 62, and a big fan!!
