Can you imagine being there for that? Holy Crap. I would have been crying at that ending. It's just THAT powerful. WOW. I love it every time I see someone react to this.
nightwish have very lucky that they have 3 amazing lady singer, every singer left they mark in band. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful weekend. it´s fiesta weekend in finland.
Nightwish has never been without a stellar lead singer. All three are different, but they all are important to the band's history and participated (or are continuing to participate) in the creation of some of the best music anywhere. Thanks for another great reaction!
Tarja (Tarrrr-e-yah) is also an amazing vocalist. She specializes in the more operatic approach to her vocal style. Now you are beginning to understand the old school fans who miss Tarja so much. A band is very much like a marriage. sometimes people grow apart and have different visions of what they want out of life. just love every Nightwish vocalist and every song. They are all very special in their own unique ways.
great reaction. her name is pronounced tar-yia. the j letter in finnish is called y. you don't need to compare them. i am Floor big fan but all 3 singers offered something different in the band. we love them all.
I actually got introduced to Nightwish with this song. The operatic style with the metal drew me in. It’s actually been less than a year. I’ve come to love all the eras, and all of the band members. It’s such a joy to watch them. I have a special soft spot for Empuu. He always has a smile for everyone.
Pink Floyd cover High hopes from the same concert only Marco singing, I assure you will not be disappointed👍 Tarja Sleeping Sun original video, beautiful
You don't have to choose between the two of them, they both are amazing ! About the reasons of the split, it's a... long story... Just know that this concert was her last one with Nightwish (though she was the only one on stage not knowing it...), before being fired. Both sides have their version on the way it happened, we were not there, so... Then came Anette for 2 albums, then Floor in 2012
exactly.. I feel like not diving too deeply into it is better for your peace of mind and to enjoy the music for itself. All in all I'd say it was a stressful time for them, lots of touring, lots of miscommunication, Tarja wanted to leave the band, the band decided it's better to part ways a bit earlier than planned, both sides had good reasons why they wanted to seperate. Only the how could've been done better. But they're all still making music and everyone seems very happy and that's what matters I think.
I've been a fan for almost 2 decades and I refuse to pick a favorite singer. All Nightwish eras are meaningful to me. I'm so grateful for this band. 💞💞💞 Edit: There definitely was tension during this concert, btw. All the band members knew it was Tarja's last show with them... Expect Tarja. There had been lots of drama for years and she was fired after this concert. It was painful for everyone in the band, and the fans. Lots of people have yet to move on, which is a shame because all previous and current band members definitely have. Even Floor and Tarja are friends.
@@rocklobster532 there is no Choice. Both did and do give me unique Moments in Life, and therefore, they both are up at the Top:)Great Thing is, we dont have to Choose, both of their Legacys are digitalised and there for the Future.
@@alexandersteinmetz6857 Exactly, we don't have to choose. Old Nightwish was awesome with Tarja and new Nightwish is awesome with Floor. I usually prefer Tarja on older songs, but on some day I need to hear Floor's version. It's not a competition, and I'm so glad we still have Nightwish after all this drama and setbacks.
Triangle drama happened, with Tuomas, Tarja and her new boyfriend Marcelo. That make it hard for the band to function, and they divided in two camps. And also the boys wanted longer world tours and more gigs than Tarja. She kept suggesting cutting continents off the tour, and cutting smaller gigs off. And boys received those suggestions very negatively. So after a few years of that Tarja told she would be leaving the band after next album's world tour. However, as the "Once" album cover hints (Tarja's pseudonyme is "angel") the boys decided to fire her before the next album. And with the next vocalist Anette they did their longest world tour ever, and exhausted her (too). Anette had a lot of vocal and health problems as a result, and also her mood suffered and she gained stress.
You have so quickly become one of my favorite channels. I'm loving going back and checking out your "older" reactions. You are both spectacularly beautiful people. I love you so much.
Kiitos! Thank you! 😍 It was nice to watch your reaction. Tarja was first lady in this band, original member. All the ladies are perferct singers, but it all started with Tarja ❤️Greetings and love.
This was the video that introduced me to Nightwish about 7 yrs ago. I was stunned, and immediately fell totally for this band. I became obsessed with finding more. And Then --Came Floor!! Totally over the cliff.
You dont have to choose which version of Nightwish, I've been a fan since the start and like all 3 versions of the band. Just listen to them and enjoy them. And don't worry about talking its great to hear your enjoyment and how you like the song. take care
All Nighwish ladies are great and they deserve nothing but love and respect. I'm an old fan, so it is always great to see reactions to this original line up. I say original, but Marko only joined in 2001, and Nightwish had three albums already, two of them with the first bassist, Sami Vänskä. (Emppu played bass on their debut album because they didn't have a bassist yet...and it was only supposed to be demo).
If you are NW fans...you should know Tarja. She was the third founding member of the band (with Tuomas and Emppu), made this band famous with during 12 years from a school band to leader of the genre in the world. She also recorded more albums with NW than other female singes together. NW voice is based on her singing and later came the replacement singers to her. This is the greatest version of this in metal NW vibe there is. They also act the roles of Phantom and Christine so well.
Wow hard to pause that she slayed it Marco is a badass love the theater aspect need more with Tarja sleeping sun is good to do with her live you two rock
This was the first Nightwish song I ever heard. It is what drew me to this band. Second song was Ghost Love Score with Floor. The third song was Amaranth with Anette.......all within one hour. I was very confused. I love ALL the lead female vocalists from this band. Why did she leave? She was fired. She was going to start her solo career and told them she was leaving the band after the next album, but would not tour to promote the album The band cut their losses and she was dismissed.
The "Tarja" situation, what can I say.... 2005 was a delicate time for both Tarja and the band. The fans were involved, the media was involved, and the fact that not only the keyboard player, Tuomas, was losing most of the fan base, the media was pointing fingers as well, and he lost a childhood friend (Tarja). As much as he didn't want to, there was friction within the band and something had to be done. The result of this was an almost 2 year hiatus by the band as Tuomas was in deep depression entertaining thoughts of suicide. As we all know, that didn't happen. After an obviously deep conversation with his mother, he decided to continue forward, get his thoughts together, the band, and a new singer. Anette Olzon joined Nightwish for the album following the events of 2005, Dark Passion Play released in 2007, in which Tuomas included a song that allowed him to carry on the legacy of Nightwish. I mentioned earlier that he had thoughts of suicide, and after that conversation with his mother, he decided to kill himself in the song so he wouldn't have to in real life. Dark Passion Play was the outlet he used to release himself from the demons that haunted him after firing Tarja. His feelings were all over the lyrics in most of that album. So that was the short version of the events that took place in regards to Tarja. I'm sure the Army will fill you in on everything else I missed including the name of the song. The reason I didn't mention the name is because many will say you need to listen to more Nightwish and learn more about the band and their history. When you do react to that performance, have some tissues handy and look for the lyric video performance. Great reaction to Tarja, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now you have to react to Floor's version, lol. Here's the link just in case. ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤🤘🤘
I heard the first Nightwish songs and I fell in love with Tarja but also Annette and Floor ... at this point I think I love Nightwish ... Great your reaction Fantastic
Tarja- the j is pronounced "y" and roll the "r" if you can. She and Floor are friends and there's no need to compare or choose one over the other - I LOVE THEM BOTH!
Your faces convey everything! Tarja’s is part the original Nightwish lineup - the history of that is also evident when you see the emotion from Tuomas when they perform Everdream at this same End of an Era Show. I also like Tarja singing Sleeping Sun and Dead Boys Poem. To watch the the times when they all were “rockin it” together - Fantasmic is priceless footage - special moments from Tuomas too in this one! ruclips.net/video/7NGE3ZAubeY/видео.html 3 other songs sum up the “drama”, the depth of emotion & split from NW that followed: Bye, Bye Beautiful, Master Passion Greed & Poet & The Pendulum (In that order). Annete followed after Tarja then Floor. And Floor was / is the perfect fit - Tuomas has said if Floor leaves - that he will end Nightwish.
This was the very last concert (End of an Era in Helsinki, Hartwall Arena, 2005) that Tarja sing with nightwish, directly after this show they handed her the letter in which they tell her she is dismissed from Nightwish... yeah. And it started the big turmoil, that led to (among other things) Tuomas feeling very depressed, and writing the song Poet and Pendullum (at that time, even without any female vocalyst at all)... but if you go into that one, plese know it is one of the "great trinity of Nightwish" and THE one which is deep, and allmost heartbreaking... that'll be and half hour video single-handedly... no quickie!
Hey guys! Great reaction! Since you're at it you should check Floor singing this same song when she was part of the Beste Zengers show from the Netherlands. Keep the videos coming! Best Wishes from NW Army Argentina!
This was the last performance with Tarja. Tarja did not know it but the rest of the band did know. You can see it in their eyes. After the concert they gave her a letter sacking her. She had already said she would leave after the year but the band decided to let her go immediately. There was a lot of stress between them and Tarja at that time. It spilled into a big media war and Tuomas almost killed himself because of the media aftermath. It turned into the song The Poet And The Pendulum of which you have to see the Wembley performance.
I heard Nightwish with Floor singing first but have gone back and listened to nearly all of their albums and many live performances. I think Tarja shows exceptional talent and versatility singing Siren from this same concert you have watched in this reaction. Marko has a beautiful part as well.
I really love and prefer the old nightwish ❤❤❤🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Great reaction!!!!, more reaction with tarja. React to the song *planet hell* or *the siren* *Creek mary's blood* from the same show, please!!!!!!
This is supposed to be Andrew Lloyd Webber's favourite version who wrote Phantom of the opera. Tarja is the Goddess of Nightwish there's also Annette and of course Floor who is the warrior princess.. There's the infamous open letter, firing Tarja after that gig- the end of an era concert. Everyone on stage knew about the sacking apart from Tarja on that stage. She was replaced with Annette and Tarja has had a fantastic solo courier since . As of 2024 she's again touring with Marko .
🤩👌💥💯 Whether their songs are two and half minutes or 20 mins long they take a hold of you and keep that on their live performances... Nice reaction. Dominica's smile went ear to ear until Tarja(Tar-Yah) started her vocalization at the end part. 😮 🤘😎🇫🇮💙
I am also big Floor fan. But i have enjoyed NW and every singer since they started. They all have some strenghts..altho i have to say Floor IS most versatile of them. But yes..in this style this IS absolutely Tarjas Song. And i cant imagine Tarja or Floor doing Scaretale..that one Anette just owns.
Thank you that you check also Tarja🙂❤! I understand very well if you like more Floor❤.... To me Tarja❤ was the main female of NW voice over 10 years... even I like also Annette❤ (it is not her fault to were middle of these two other voices... check some day Annette's❤ Meadows of heaven) ... Yes I am lucky one, because I can listening hole NW catalog and like and love all... except one song witch I hate....) Hope you will do more Tarja❤ era some day (and also Anette❤) SIREN (2005 live) or WALKING IN THE AIR(1999 live). Greetings from Finland and very good Midsummer Day weekend! 🙂 (by NW fan since 1998)
So excited to see you choose this performance! Tarja is pronounced TAR-Yuh. A very dynamic show, this whole concert...Tarja's last show w the band...that added to the intensity! Also check out Floor's version in duet with Henk Port.
Thank you for the reaction. Please react to End of all hope from the Summer Breeze Festival 2002, Mein Herr Marquis from her solo, Beauty & The Beat Tour with Mike Terrana and Supremacy in Woodstock 2016. To learn who she is as an artist. Amazing.
Tarja was forced to leave the band after this concert, it is a long story, read Gabriel's comments. Tuomas became very depressed and considered killing himself but turned the emotions to compose fantastic Poet and Pendulum... It is a long and sad story but now everything is well and Tarja is having her own carriere
High hopes they are performing without Tarja who was changing her clothes, you can look pn the men's faces, they know they are going to give her a letter after this concert that she must leave... They felt that she was not anymore connected to the band enough, and they felt they cannot continue with her. She was shocked and Tuomas got suicidal because "half the Finnish population" hated him. Then came Annette and after her Floor. Nightwish doesn't end because of this kind of changes
I'd say Nightwish either builds their songs up in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat, or they hit you so hard with the first chord you have no time to prepare whatsover 😄 Maybe try Wishmaster from the same concert! That's one of those songs that go !!! from beginning to end :) Aaaand if you're interested in hearing more older Nightwish songs with Tarja, I warmly recommend Deep Silent Complete Live in Amsterdam (2002).. it's beautiful!! Her voice had a very special timbre back then that you don't find often. I adore her⚘ Thank you for sharing your reaction, it was lovely! :)
Tarja's resignation was a very dramatic episode. The relationship between her and the band had been bad for some time, so at the end of 2004 she decided to tell the band that she would leave. The idea was to record one last album and go on a farewell tour. She wanted to announce her decision to the public and prepare fans for the vocalist change, however, Tuomas convinced her not to do so at the time. It turns out that, after that meeting, the band planned a public firing on the sly. They delivered a letter to Tarja at the end of the "End of an era" show and posted it on the band's website the next day. The band made several accusations against Tarja and her husband. It was a scandal. In response, Tarja wrote a letter and held a press conference to respond better to the group's accusations. Her husband also spoke. He answered more than 150 questions from fans around the world and posted the answers on the internet. Given the reports that were brought and other available records, including videos and documentaries, a large part of the fan base revolted against the band. Faced with criticism from different sides, Tuomas fell into a depression and wrote "The poet and the pendulum" as a way of dealing with the situation. Some say that Tuomas suffered from unrequited love for Tarja. This feeling would have been the fuel for the composition of some songs. The question of Tuomas' love for Tarja is actually an old theory of fans. This theory was built even before Tarja's dismissal, and is based on old interviews and on the lyrics that Tuomas used to write. The idea of the existence of unrequited love was strengthened when Marcelo himself (Tarja's husband) spoke about the subject in the responses he gave to fans. See these answers: "36) Many people say that everything this happened because he Tuomas felt something for the Tarja and this feeling was not corresponded. It was the impression that passed. This can be answered? Or not? Heluza Mercaus Viegas Brazil I promised that everything was going to be answered. To cut a long story short, in October 2004 I needed to ask Tuomas to come to talk to Tarja and me in our hotel room in the middle of the tour. Even though he knows Tarja many years before me, he never could achieve his goal. In this meeting I clearly told him that his chances to be with Tarja were gone. I needed to tell him that there was no reason to keep on trying any longer, since I married her. As usual he didn't speak much, but he said to me that nobody was going to be able to stop his love for Tarja. After this unhappy meeting, everything changed. The guy that until then said in interviews that, without Tarja, that would be the end of Nightwish, changed his message into: Nightwish is my band, my music, my lyrics, the scenery of my soul. Is up to you to check all interviews from the band before and after end of 2004 until today. Tarja never changed her thoughts about her position in the band. She has never mentioned that Nightwish was her band or that she was more important than the other band members. Nightwish lyrics are Tuomas' life diary, as it has been said. With this new information that I am sharing with you, please check once again some of them. We all can find amazing songs with beautiful lyrics full of poetry. Their meaning won't remain that uncertain any longer. 37) Was Tarja in any romance/love way with Tuomas (he seems jelouice to me). Mariela Todoroviè Slovenia Tarja never had any romance nor was ever in love with him. I have received many questions accusing Tuomas of being jealous, envious, bitter and of being in love. I have no interest in making any judgement about those things and people's feelings. Other people than Tuomas also told me how much they love Tarja. There are many different levels of love and I have no problems with any of them as long as reasonable limits are not exceeded. Is funny if you carefully check the cover of End of an Era (that Tarja didn't propose, but accepted). You will find what seems to be an angel (Tarja's nickname in the official forum of her web page) and a demon or god. Only these two characters dominate the scene. I couldn't find any other characters in the cover at all. They are standing facing away from each other. Between them there is turmoil and a strong light, whether striking into or coming out of a cracked heart. It is definitely not Tarja's heart. Her heart is very healthy and full of love, because she has always listened to it (instead of me); as Tuomas advised her to do in the open letter. The title of the scene is "Nightwish - End of an Era". You can make your own conclusions. I am merely describing a DVD cover 157) What were, in your opinion, the real motives for Tarja Turunen to be out of Nightwish? ¿Cuáles fueron, en tu opinión, los verdaderos motivos de la salida de Tarja Turunen de Nightwish? Marta Perez Spain I think we will never know the real motives. Motives rest in Tuomas, some close people and band members' hearts. Seems there has been at least very strong motives to kick out Tarja, specially the way they did it. Some of them might be the mentioned cultural differences that band members have in their minds and hearts with me, the non corresponded love from Tuomas to Tarja, Tarja's values that didn't match Tuomas and Tarja's maturity that didn't match Tuomas and the others, not compatible life styles between band members, different concept of friendship and responsibilities that comes with it, different approach to record business, the obvious problem to communicate within the band; just to name a few." The depression itself and the song "The poet and the pendulum" can, in theory, be read as a reflection of this love drama. Regardless of whether this theory about Tuomas is true or not, the fact is that bringing internal issues to the public was the worst choice. A lot of the band's past has been brought up and no one has come out unscathed. Because of the scandal, Tarja lost some fans and contracts for her solo career. On the other hand, the band also lost fans and had little-known events brought to a wider audience. For example, Tarja suffered an attempted sexual abuse in the middle of a concert in Guadalajara in 2000. At the time, the band continued playing as if nothing had happened, even after Tarja left the stage along with the criminal and the security guards. There are videos of the episode here on RUclips. Later, after Tarja left, the band itself mentioned the event in its official biography. The way the band decided to fire Tarja and the facts of the past that were brought to public knowledge infuriated many fans. To get a sense of how big the fan base was in the past, look at the number of views of the first videos with Anette ("Bye, bye, beautiful" and "Amaranth"). These numbers are representative of the fan base situation at the end of Tarja's period and beginning of Anette. The first album with Anette was the band's first album ever released with RUclips ever running. We were all curious to know who the new singer was and what she sounded like. Unfortunately Anette didn't please a large part of the original fan base, which also contributed to the band losing more fans. Anette and Floor helped to attract a different audience and reconfigure the fan base. Some old fans have returned with the entry of Floor. She is nothing new to us. For example, I've known her since her first band, After Forever. Here are some sources: Resignation letter written by the band: nightwish.fandom.com/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Tarja_Turunen Tarja's press conference after the dismissal, in full: ruclips.net/video/ATDFinGZ8D8/видео.html Marcelo's detailed response to questions sended by Nightwish fans at the dismissal epoque: www.tuomasholopainen.fora.pl/wywiady-artykuly,29/odpowiedzi-marcelo-na-pytania-fanow-czerwiec-2006,455.html Letter written by Tarja: nightwish.fandom.com/wiki/Open_Letter_from_Tarja_Turunen A snippet from the book "Once Upon a Nightwish" detailing the abuse incident - fromwishestoeternity.tumblr.com/post/111177476493/alfaangel-i-just-put-together-some-facts-about/amp The video of the abuse incident: ruclips.net/video/3bj4h1807kY/видео.html
Please don't cut your talks short. They're just what's interesting! :-) I suppose you both might know slavic languages? Tarja is a Finnish version of slavic name Daria (or Greek/Persian) and pronounced almost like that.
Wise reaction!! Not comparing both singers seems the best way for enjoying any Nightwish sing. By the way, Anette Olzon (her birthday was yesterday) was the second singer, "replacing" Tarja. Anyway, I feel you are fully prepared now to react to The Poet and the Pendulum. The Poet and the Pendulum is the first song of Dark Passion Play with Anette. However I strongly recommend the Wembley Arena version with Floor, but first read about that album and what the song really means. The story is "outrageously insane" and the band's performance is mind-blowing ;)
Thanks for that! We are always excited to listen new Nightwish song and after reading all the comments about The Poet and The Pendulum, we have a feeling this is going to be something different! Can't wait! 😁
To be completely honestly, I prefer the old songs with Tarja. But since the band finished work with this singer, it was amazing that they put Floor in. Floor was the singer of the band After Forever, and it was one of my favorite bands along with Nightwish with Tarja.
Dominica, I love your name and enthusiasm! I pronounce her name Tar-zsha or Tar-ya. I'm a big nightwish fan. I like all 3 singers: tarja-operatic, Annette-poppy, Floor-everything! Some Tarja songs, wishmaster, the siren, walking in the air.
Dominika wymawiasz imię Tarja dokładnie jak się pisze :) czyli czytaj tak jakbyś czytała po Polsku :) Pozdro dla Ciebie i dla męża i kontynuujcie swoją wspaniałą przygodę z Nightwish. Jestem fanką od 2004 roku i aż wstyd, że wreszcie będę ich widzieć pierwszy raz w życiu w Grudniu w Polsce. Świetna reakcja :) Cheers :)
I keep thinking Marko was very undervalued in the band. He has such an awesome voice and charisma. and I just realised I've ben too nice to Floor and Henk. Tarja and Marko rock!
Yay !! Classic Stuff ! Nice ! Good that you also try the stuff with Tarja....definetely worth the time. There would be no Nightwish without her - therefore alone we have to give her credit. Beside that: SHE CAN SING. And please dont stop your talking ....thats why we are here :-) More Tarja ? - I would recommend a double reaction - Song "Slaying the Dreamer"....first the one with Tarja from the "End of an Era" DVD...and then...Floors take from Buenos Aires....both great...and again a new different song... Thanks for the time ! All Hail Queen Floor !
In my opinion, it's not just about this or that singer: it's about Tuomas' genius too. He choose how to write a song based on the instrument (I mean vocalist) he has in order to enhance the singer's forte, be it the power, the versatility, the range, the timbre or the weight of her/his voice. As an example, Anette's rendition of "Slow, Love, Slow": why should a metal composer write a JAZZ song? Because Anette's soft voice will fit that style like Cinderella's foot fit the glass slipper. Or the recent "Harvest": the calm and earthy voice of Troy matching perfectly the song's theme! Should I mention too how he was able to rely upon Marko's ability to shift between characters like a theater actor? From a sweet lover to a sea devil? Of course everyone of us has their own preferences, but it's safe to say that Tuomas knows well how to gift everyone's ears with songs tailored on the main voice! 👋🇮🇹🖖
There is no better version of the Phantom of the Opera than this !! Tarja was a beast !! but im all after Floor when its come to Nightiwsh anyway. Floor is ultimate singer for this band
Hey when you like to here Marco singing check out high hopes from the same End of an Era Show DVD. Kiss Way your Lips are still Red. Live at Wembley ore the Islander live feom Tempere Show also have fun
The excitement and joy hid an underlying tone of regret and anger. This was Tarja's last show with Nightwish. She was fired immediately afterward with a letter from the rest of the band.
You two are really sweet together...nice reaction. I'm hopelessly devoted to Floor (as relative newcomer to NW) but this is a pretty wild performance in anyone's books!
I haven't read the previous comments but I'm guessing many would've said similar things to me - in that although this is absolutely brilliant (Marko's vocals at his best) and Tarja too! But I hope you check out Floor singing 'Phantom' with Henk Poorte) on a Dutch singing TV show called 'Beste Zangers' which really is a must see!! And other Floor performances from this TV series. Always look forward to your reactions - they brighten my day! 😃 🙂
Great reaction have a look at I'm not a Vampire (revamped) by Falling in Reverse, also Popular Monster and Zombiefied. Bloody Angel, Torn Apart by Avatar. Also Metallica.
Tarja's vocal style is usually very operatic. You said you propably heard the song NEMO with Tarja long ago. In that song her vocals, especially on the official music video, are not operatic. Maybe a bit operatic on live performances.
Great reaction guys, whilst my favourite era is the current Floor era there is no denying the brilliance of Tarja, and Annette, and the incredible music they contributed to whilst in the band 🤘
no comparison with tarja or floor, but, without tarja there would not be a floor(most likely)... i like both three( yes i like Anette also, matched to their best songs they are all good.)
Can you imagine being there for that? Holy Crap. I would have been crying at that ending. It's just THAT powerful. WOW. I love it every time I see someone react to this.
nightwish have very lucky that they have 3 amazing lady singer, every singer left they mark in band. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful weekend. it´s fiesta weekend in finland.
NIGHTWISH - THE SIREN from the same dvd!! tarja is amazing !!
20 years ago in Finland we were listening to this live :D
Nightwish' Nemo is a beautiful song
Nightwish has never been without a stellar lead singer. All three are different, but they all are important to the band's history and participated (or are continuing to participate) in the creation of some of the best music anywhere. Thanks for another great reaction!
Tarja (Tarrrr-e-yah) is also an amazing vocalist. She specializes in the more operatic approach to her vocal style. Now you are beginning to understand the old school fans who miss Tarja so much.
A band is very much like a marriage. sometimes people grow apart and have different visions of what they want out of life. just love every Nightwish vocalist and every song. They are all very special in their own unique ways.
No need to fret about who likes which singer. We have more than 2 decades of fantastic Nightwish music to chose from and we're happy.
Wow, that was awesome. Never heard that interpretation of Phantom of The Opera before. Fantastic!
Welcome to Nightwish
I'm old, so my Nightwish is Tarja. Wonderful reaction, ty. Hugs from Sweden.
I LOVE how your faces froze when Tarja started singing the last high notes :D
great reaction. her name is pronounced tar-yia. the j letter in finnish is called y. you don't need to compare them. i am Floor big fan but all 3 singers offered something different in the band. we love them all.
Not all of us love them all.
@@ebbenielsen7 hahaha... I would say like this... The three singers have highlights... Some have more than others...
The Finnish names can be tricky to pronounce.
Here's the link to a video that helps with that.
ruclips.net/video/DpapnmXoIZk/видео.html
@@ebbenielsen7 i Concur. gotta say although all did distribute something to the NW Legacy;) in different measures:D
It's the Finn variant of Tara name.
Tarja 💝 You must listening more Tarja's singing like "snowman",the siren, sleeping sun....
There's only one thing to say about Tarja: She's perfect.
I love everything this woman does
💘💘💘Tarya. Next song, walking in the air
I actually got introduced to Nightwish with this song. The operatic style with the metal drew me in. It’s actually been less than a year. I’ve come to love all the eras, and all of the band members. It’s such a joy to watch them. I have a special soft spot for Empuu. He always has a smile for everyone.
😁🇫🇮❤️🎶🎹🎤🎸🥁✨🤘💙
With this Song, i started my Nightwish 🎢✨ journey....loooooong time ago 🥰🇫🇮
Great choice! We old NW fans love them all ! There isn´t bad choice when choose next one!
Äläpä! 😜🤘
Pink Floyd cover High hopes from the same concert only Marco singing, I assure you will not be disappointed👍
Tarja Sleeping Sun original video, beautiful
I was in this concert, it was an emotional rollercoaster ❤️😢🤘🇫🇮
You don't have to choose between the two of them, they both are amazing !
About the reasons of the split, it's a... long story...
Just know that this concert was her last one with Nightwish (though she was the only one on stage not knowing it...), before being fired. Both sides have their version on the way it happened, we were not there, so...
Then came Anette for 2 albums, then Floor in 2012
exactly.. I feel like not diving too deeply into it is better for your peace of mind and to enjoy the music for itself.
All in all I'd say it was a stressful time for them, lots of touring, lots of miscommunication, Tarja wanted to leave the band, the band decided it's better to part ways a bit earlier than planned, both sides had good reasons why they wanted to seperate. Only the how could've been done better. But they're all still making music and everyone seems very happy and that's what matters I think.
I've been a fan for almost 2 decades and I refuse to pick a favorite singer. All Nightwish eras are meaningful to me. I'm so grateful for this band. 💞💞💞
Edit: There definitely was tension during this concert, btw. All the band members knew it was Tarja's last show with them... Expect Tarja. There had been lots of drama for years and she was fired after this concert. It was painful for everyone in the band, and the fans. Lots of people have yet to move on, which is a shame because all previous and current band members definitely have. Even Floor and Tarja are friends.
To ask me to choose between Tarja and Floor would be like asking me to cut off a limb.
@@rocklobster532 there is no Choice. Both did and do give me unique Moments in Life, and therefore, they both are up at the Top:)Great Thing is, we dont have to Choose, both of their Legacys are digitalised and there for the Future.
@@alexandersteinmetz6857 Exactly, we don't have to choose. Old Nightwish was awesome with Tarja and new Nightwish is awesome with Floor. I usually prefer Tarja on older songs, but on some day I need to hear Floor's version. It's not a competition, and I'm so glad we still have Nightwish after all this drama and setbacks.
This is TRUE Nightwish! Only with Tarja. Only!
Triangle drama happened, with Tuomas, Tarja and her new boyfriend Marcelo. That make it hard for the band to function, and they divided in two camps. And also the boys wanted longer world tours and more gigs than Tarja. She kept suggesting cutting continents off the tour, and cutting smaller gigs off. And boys received those suggestions very negatively. So after a few years of that Tarja told she would be leaving the band after next album's world tour. However, as the "Once" album cover hints (Tarja's pseudonyme is "angel") the boys decided to fire her before the next album. And with the next vocalist Anette they did their longest world tour ever, and exhausted her (too). Anette had a lot of vocal and health problems as a result, and also her mood suffered and she gained stress.
You have so quickly become one of my favorite channels. I'm loving going back and checking out your "older" reactions. You are both spectacularly beautiful people. I love you so much.
Kiitos! Thank you! 😍 It was nice to watch your reaction. Tarja was first lady in this band, original member. All the ladies are perferct singers, but it all started with Tarja ❤️Greetings and love.
The true queen and pioneer of this genre. Today also as a solo artist
This was the video that introduced me to Nightwish about 7 yrs ago. I was stunned, and immediately fell totally for this band. I became obsessed with finding more. And Then --Came Floor!! Totally over the cliff.
You dont have to choose which version of Nightwish, I've been a fan since the start and like all 3 versions of the band. Just listen to them and enjoy them. And don't worry about talking its great to hear your enjoyment and how you like the song. take care
One of the best versions of this song.
amazing performance by tarja, now check floor's version from the netherlands show "beste zangers". it's also amazing, another floorgasm guaranteed. 🔥
All Nighwish ladies are great and they deserve nothing but love and respect. I'm an old fan, so it is always great to see reactions to this original line up. I say original, but Marko only joined in 2001, and Nightwish had three albums already, two of them with the first bassist, Sami Vänskä. (Emppu played bass on their debut album because they didn't have a bassist yet...and it was only supposed to be demo).
If you are NW fans...you should know Tarja. She was the third founding member of the band (with Tuomas and Emppu), made this band famous with during 12 years from a school band to leader of the genre in the world. She also recorded more albums with NW than other female singes together. NW voice is based on her singing and later came the replacement singers to her. This is the greatest version of this in metal NW vibe there is. They also act the roles of Phantom and Christine so well.
Tarja best. !!
Finally a genuine reaction, love it. Thanks.
Wow hard to pause that she slayed it Marco is a badass love the theater aspect need more with Tarja sleeping sun is good to do with her live you two rock
This was the first Nightwish song I ever heard. It is what drew me to this band. Second song was Ghost Love Score with Floor. The third song was Amaranth with Anette.......all within one hour. I was very confused. I love ALL the lead female vocalists from this band. Why did she leave? She was fired. She was going to start her solo career and told them she was leaving the band after the next album, but would not tour to promote the album The band cut their losses and she was dismissed.
The "Tarja" situation, what can I say....
2005 was a delicate time for both Tarja and the band.
The fans were involved, the media was involved, and the fact that not only the keyboard player, Tuomas, was losing most of the fan base, the media was pointing fingers as well, and he lost a childhood friend (Tarja).
As much as he didn't want to, there was friction within the band and something had to be done.
The result of this was an almost 2 year hiatus by the band as Tuomas was in deep depression entertaining thoughts of suicide.
As we all know, that didn't happen.
After an obviously deep conversation with his mother, he decided to continue forward, get his thoughts together, the band, and a new singer.
Anette Olzon joined Nightwish for the album following the events of 2005, Dark Passion Play released in 2007, in which Tuomas included a song that allowed him to carry on the legacy of Nightwish.
I mentioned earlier that he had thoughts of suicide, and after that conversation with his mother, he decided to kill himself in the song so he wouldn't have to in real life.
Dark Passion Play was the outlet he used to release himself from the demons that haunted him after firing Tarja. His feelings were all over the lyrics in most of that album.
So that was the short version of the events that took place in regards to Tarja. I'm sure the Army will fill you in on everything else I missed including the name of the song.
The reason I didn't mention the name is because many will say you need to listen to more Nightwish and learn more about the band and their history. When you do react to that performance, have some tissues handy and look for the lyric video performance.
Great reaction to Tarja, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Now you have to react to Floor's version, lol. Here's the link just in case.
ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html
Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed.
😊❤🤘🤘
This is a really great concert too, the whole setlist is worth reacting to!
I hope you will do another Nightwish reaction soon, any song will do!
great reaction. Love you both.
Thanks a lot! 😍
They always surprise, even when you expect something special -)
I heard the first Nightwish songs and I fell in love with Tarja but also Annette and Floor ... at this point I think I love Nightwish ... Great your reaction Fantastic
Emotions, emotions, emotions... Nightwish!
Tarja is like Arya from Game of Thrones, but with a T.
Looking forward to the next reaction from you.
If you wanna get shocked by Tarja one more time, check out her version of Supremacy live at Woodstock 2016, your minds will be blown away :)))
Great reaction !! Your wife seemed to be hanging on every note and lyric. Love it !!
Tarja- the j is pronounced "y" and roll the "r" if you can.
She and Floor are friends and there's no need to compare or choose one over the other - I LOVE THEM BOTH!
Your faces convey everything!
Tarja’s is part the original Nightwish lineup - the history of that is also evident when you see the emotion from Tuomas when they perform Everdream at this same End of an Era Show.
I also like Tarja singing Sleeping Sun and Dead Boys Poem.
To watch the the times when they all were “rockin it” together - Fantasmic is priceless footage - special moments from Tuomas too in this one!
ruclips.net/video/7NGE3ZAubeY/видео.html
3 other songs sum up the “drama”, the depth of emotion & split from NW that followed:
Bye, Bye Beautiful, Master Passion Greed & Poet & The Pendulum
(In that order).
Annete followed after Tarja then Floor. And Floor was / is the perfect fit - Tuomas has said if Floor leaves - that he will end Nightwish.
Thank you for reacting to Tarja era Nightwish as well :) . All 3 Women singers bring something special to this amazing band
Webber's favorite cover.
You guys should react to some of the earliest Nightwish stuff with Tuomas singing just for a laugh. 😂 (he tried his best)
This was the very last concert (End of an Era in Helsinki, Hartwall Arena, 2005) that Tarja sing with nightwish, directly after this show they handed her the letter in which they tell her she is dismissed from Nightwish... yeah. And it started the big turmoil, that led to (among other things) Tuomas feeling very depressed, and writing the song Poet and Pendullum (at that time, even without any female vocalyst at all)... but if you go into that one, plese know it is one of the "great trinity of Nightwish" and THE one which is deep, and allmost heartbreaking... that'll be and half hour video single-handedly... no quickie!
Planet Hell is a very good Tarja song also, great reaction greets from the Netherlands
Thanks, a great song
Hey guys! Great reaction! Since you're at it you should check Floor singing this same song when she was part of the Beste Zengers show from the Netherlands. Keep the videos coming! Best Wishes from NW Army Argentina!
Pity the Beste Zangers show is strict with copyright, watch out guys.
This was the last performance with Tarja. Tarja did not know it but the rest of the band did know. You can see it in their eyes. After the concert they gave her a letter sacking her. She had already said she would leave after the year but the band decided to let her go immediately. There was a lot of stress between them and Tarja at that time. It spilled into a big media war and Tuomas almost killed himself because of the media aftermath. It turned into the song The Poet And The Pendulum of which you have to see the Wembley performance.
I heard Nightwish with Floor singing first but have gone back and listened to nearly all of their albums and many live performances. I think Tarja shows exceptional talent and versatility singing Siren from this same concert you have watched in this reaction. Marko has a beautiful part as well.
I really love and prefer the old nightwish ❤❤❤🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great reaction!!!!, more reaction with tarja.
React to the song *planet hell* or *the siren* *Creek mary's blood* from the same show, please!!!!!!
This is supposed to be Andrew Lloyd Webber's favourite version who wrote Phantom of the opera.
Tarja is the Goddess of Nightwish there's also Annette and of course Floor who is the warrior princess..
There's the infamous open letter, firing Tarja after that gig- the end of an era concert. Everyone on stage knew about the sacking apart from Tarja on that stage. She was replaced with Annette and Tarja has had a fantastic solo courier since . As of 2024 she's again touring with Marko .
now Floor+Hank Poort
🤩👌💥💯
Whether their songs are two and half minutes or 20 mins long they take a hold of you and keep that on their live performances...
Nice reaction. Dominica's smile went ear to ear until Tarja(Tar-Yah) started her vocalization at the end part. 😮
🤘😎🇫🇮💙
I am also big Floor fan.
But i have enjoyed NW and every singer since they started.
They all have some strenghts..altho i have to say Floor IS most versatile of them.
But yes..in this style this IS absolutely Tarjas Song.
And i cant imagine Tarja or Floor doing Scaretale..that one Anette just owns.
👍... Tarja❤ or Floor❤ doing Scaretale😁... That might be "quite" different than Annette❤... mayby better this way? I agree all you said!
Tarja Turunen the best!!!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Thank you guys❤Great reaction❤🎉🎉. Do not worry about her name❤. NW is NW no matter who is/are singing❤🎉Just enjoy your journey❤🎉🎉Love from Finland!
Thank you that you check also Tarja🙂❤! I understand very well if you like more Floor❤.... To me Tarja❤ was the main female of NW voice over 10 years... even I like also Annette❤ (it is not her fault to were middle of these two other voices... check some day Annette's❤ Meadows of heaven) ... Yes I am lucky one, because I can listening hole NW catalog and like and love all... except one song witch I hate....) Hope you will do more Tarja❤ era some day (and also Anette❤) SIREN (2005 live) or WALKING IN THE AIR(1999 live). Greetings from Finland and very good Midsummer Day weekend! 🙂 (by NW fan since 1998)
Wow! Thanks for that! All the best! 😊
So excited to see you choose this performance! Tarja is pronounced TAR-Yuh. A very dynamic show, this whole concert...Tarja's last show w the band...that added to the intensity! Also check out Floor's version in duet with Henk Port.
Thank you for the reaction. Please react to End of all hope from the Summer Breeze Festival 2002, Mein Herr Marquis from her solo, Beauty & The Beat Tour with Mike Terrana and Supremacy in Woodstock 2016. To learn who she is as an artist. Amazing.
Tarja was forced to leave the band after this concert, it is a long story, read Gabriel's comments. Tuomas became very depressed and considered killing himself but turned the emotions to compose fantastic Poet and Pendulum... It is a long and sad story but now everything is well and Tarja is having her own carriere
High hopes they are performing without Tarja who was changing her clothes, you can look pn the men's faces, they know they are going to give her a letter after this concert that she must leave... They felt that she was not anymore connected to the band enough, and they felt they cannot continue with her. She was shocked and Tuomas got suicidal because "half the Finnish population" hated him.
Then came Annette and after her Floor.
Nightwish doesn't end because of this kind of changes
She was fired for being a DEVA!!!!
Tarja ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'd say Nightwish either builds their songs up in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat, or they hit you so hard with the first chord you have no time to prepare whatsover 😄
Maybe try Wishmaster from the same concert! That's one of those songs that go !!! from beginning to end :)
Aaaand if you're interested in hearing more older Nightwish songs with Tarja, I warmly recommend Deep Silent Complete Live in Amsterdam (2002).. it's beautiful!! Her voice had a very special timbre back then that you don't find often. I adore her⚘
Thank you for sharing your reaction, it was lovely! :)
Thank you so much! We'll check it out for sure! 😄
Tarja's resignation was a very dramatic episode. The relationship between her and the band had been bad for some time, so at the end of 2004 she decided to tell the band that she would leave. The idea was to record one last album and go on a farewell tour. She wanted to announce her decision to the public and prepare fans for the vocalist change, however, Tuomas convinced her not to do so at the time.
It turns out that, after that meeting, the band planned a public firing on the sly. They delivered a letter to Tarja at the end of the "End of an era" show and posted it on the band's website the next day. The band made several accusations against Tarja and her husband. It was a scandal.
In response, Tarja wrote a letter and held a press conference to respond better to the group's accusations. Her husband also spoke. He answered more than 150 questions from fans around the world and posted the answers on the internet.
Given the reports that were brought and other available records, including videos and documentaries, a large part of the fan base revolted against the band. Faced with criticism from different sides, Tuomas fell into a depression and wrote "The poet and the pendulum" as a way of dealing with the situation.
Some say that Tuomas suffered from unrequited love for Tarja. This feeling would have been the fuel for the composition of some songs. The question of Tuomas' love for Tarja is actually an old theory of fans. This theory was built even before Tarja's dismissal, and is based on old interviews and on the lyrics that Tuomas used to write.
The idea of the existence of unrequited love was strengthened when Marcelo himself (Tarja's husband) spoke about the subject in the responses he gave to fans. See these answers:
"36) Many people say that everything this happened because
he Tuomas felt something for the Tarja and this feeling was not corresponded. It was the impression that passed. This can be answered? Or not?
Heluza Mercaus Viegas Brazil
I promised that everything was going to be answered.
To cut a long story short, in October 2004 I needed to ask Tuomas to come to talk to Tarja and me in our hotel room in the middle of the tour.
Even though he knows Tarja many years before me, he never could achieve his goal.
In this meeting I clearly told him that his chances to be with Tarja were gone.
I needed to tell him that there was no reason to keep on trying any longer, since I married her.
As usual he didn't speak much, but he said to me that nobody was going to be able to stop his love for Tarja.
After this unhappy meeting, everything changed.
The guy that until then said in interviews that, without Tarja, that would be the end of Nightwish, changed his message into: Nightwish is my band, my music, my lyrics, the scenery of my soul.
Is up to you to check all interviews from the band before and after end of 2004 until today.
Tarja never changed her thoughts about her position in the band.
She has never mentioned that Nightwish was her band or that she was more important than the other band members.
Nightwish lyrics are Tuomas' life diary, as it has been said. With this new information that I am sharing with you, please check once again some of them. We all can find amazing songs with beautiful lyrics full of poetry. Their meaning won't remain that uncertain any longer.
37) Was Tarja in any romance/love way with Tuomas (he seems jelouice to me).
Mariela Todoroviè Slovenia
Tarja never had any romance nor was ever in love with him.
I have received many questions accusing Tuomas of being jealous, envious, bitter and of being in love. I have no interest in making any judgement about those things and people's feelings.
Other people than Tuomas also told me how much they love Tarja. There are many different levels of love and I have no problems with any of them as long as reasonable limits are not exceeded.
Is funny if you carefully check the cover of End of an Era (that Tarja didn't propose, but accepted).
You will find what seems to be an angel (Tarja's nickname in the official forum of her web page) and a demon or god. Only these two characters dominate the scene. I couldn't find any other characters in the cover at all.
They are standing facing away from each other.
Between them there is turmoil and a strong light, whether striking into or coming out of a cracked heart.
It is definitely not Tarja's heart. Her heart is very healthy and full of love, because she has always listened to it (instead of me); as Tuomas advised her to do in the open letter.
The title of the scene is "Nightwish - End of an Era".
You can make your own conclusions. I am merely describing a DVD cover
157) What were, in your opinion, the real motives for Tarja Turunen to be out of Nightwish?
¿Cuáles fueron, en tu opinión, los verdaderos motivos de la salida de Tarja Turunen de Nightwish? Marta Perez Spain
I think we will never know the real motives. Motives rest in Tuomas, some close people and band members' hearts. Seems there has been at least very strong motives to kick out Tarja, specially the way they did it.
Some of them might be the mentioned cultural differences that band members have in their minds and hearts with me, the non corresponded love from Tuomas to Tarja, Tarja's values that didn't match Tuomas and Tarja's maturity that didn't match Tuomas and the others, not compatible life styles between band members, different concept of friendship and responsibilities that comes with it, different approach to record business, the obvious problem to communicate within the band; just to name a few."
The depression itself and the song "The poet and the pendulum" can, in theory, be read as a reflection of this love drama. Regardless of whether this theory about Tuomas is true or not, the fact is that bringing internal issues to the public was the worst choice. A lot of the band's past has been brought up and no one has come out unscathed. Because of the scandal, Tarja lost some fans and contracts for her solo career. On the other hand, the band also lost fans and had little-known events brought to a wider audience. For example, Tarja suffered an attempted sexual abuse in the middle of a concert in Guadalajara in 2000.
At the time, the band continued playing as if nothing had happened, even after Tarja left the stage along with the criminal and the security guards. There are videos of the episode here on RUclips. Later, after Tarja left, the band itself mentioned the event in its official biography.
The way the band decided to fire Tarja and the facts of the past that were brought to public knowledge infuriated many fans. To get a sense of how big the fan base was in the past, look at the number of views of the first videos with Anette ("Bye, bye, beautiful" and "Amaranth"). These numbers are representative of the fan base situation at the end of Tarja's period and beginning of Anette.
The first album with Anette was the band's first album ever released with RUclips ever running. We were all curious to know who the new singer was and what she sounded like. Unfortunately Anette didn't please a large part of the original fan base, which also contributed to the band losing more fans. Anette and Floor helped to attract a different audience and reconfigure the fan base. Some old fans have returned with the entry of Floor. She is nothing new to us. For example, I've known her since her first band, After Forever. Here are some sources:

Please don't cut your talks short. They're just what's interesting! :-) I suppose you both might know slavic languages? Tarja is a Finnish version of slavic name Daria (or Greek/Persian) and pronounced almost like that.
I'm Polish so yes definitely familiar slavic language. Thanks for that 😊
Andrei's language is Latin as he's Romanian! Have a great day!
A MUST watch is Floor dueting with Henk Poort the Phantom of the Opera on Beste Zangers show, considered one of the greatest versions ever.
Tarja4Evr ❤️❤️❤️
Hey look, Nightwish FANS!! 🤘🏼
Wise reaction!! Not comparing both singers seems the best way for enjoying any Nightwish sing. By the way, Anette Olzon (her birthday was yesterday) was the second singer, "replacing" Tarja. Anyway, I feel you are fully prepared now to react to The Poet and the Pendulum. The Poet and the Pendulum is the first song of Dark Passion Play with Anette. However I strongly recommend the Wembley Arena version with Floor, but first read about that album and what the song really means. The story is "outrageously insane" and the band's performance is mind-blowing ;)
Thanks for that! We are always excited to listen new Nightwish song and after reading all the comments about The Poet and The Pendulum, we have a feeling this is going to be something different! Can't wait! 😁
To be completely honestly, I prefer the old songs with Tarja. But since the band finished work with this singer, it was amazing that they put Floor in. Floor was the singer of the band After Forever, and it was one of my favorite bands along with Nightwish with Tarja.
You have to watch Muse - Supremacy with Tarja live :)
Dominica, I love your name and enthusiasm! I pronounce her name Tar-zsha or Tar-ya. I'm a big nightwish fan. I like all 3 singers: tarja-operatic, Annette-poppy, Floor-everything! Some Tarja songs, wishmaster, the siren, walking in the air.
Thanks a lot! Always excited for Nightwish video! 😁
Dominika wymawiasz imię Tarja dokładnie jak się pisze :) czyli czytaj tak jakbyś czytała po Polsku :) Pozdro dla Ciebie i dla męża i kontynuujcie swoją wspaniałą przygodę z Nightwish. Jestem fanką od 2004 roku i aż wstyd, że wreszcie będę ich widzieć pierwszy raz w życiu w Grudniu w Polsce. Świetna reakcja :) Cheers :)
Sarah Brightman is the original singer from the original song and she´s wife of Andrew Lloyd Webber...composer from the song.
Again, enjoying your reaction a lot.
try also Floor's version - at Beste Zangers....
Tarja wymawiamy tak jakbyśmy mówili po polsku. Litera j (jak jabłko). Pozdrawiam serdecznie i czekam na kolejne wideo z Nightwish :)
Bardzo dziekujemy i zyczymy milego dnia! 😊
I keep thinking Marko was very undervalued in the band. He has such an awesome voice and charisma.
and I just realised I've ben too nice to Floor and Henk. Tarja and Marko rock!
Yay !! Classic Stuff ! Nice ! Good that you also try the stuff with Tarja....definetely worth the time. There would be no Nightwish without her - therefore alone we have to give her credit. Beside that: SHE CAN SING.
And please dont stop your talking ....thats why we are here :-)
More Tarja ? - I would recommend a double reaction - Song "Slaying the Dreamer"....first the one with Tarja from the "End of an Era" DVD...and then...Floors take from Buenos Aires....both great...and again a new different song...
Thanks for the time !
All Hail Queen Floor !
In my opinion, it's not just about this or that singer: it's about Tuomas' genius too.
He choose how to write a song based on the instrument (I mean vocalist) he has in order to enhance the singer's forte, be it the power, the versatility, the range, the timbre or the weight of her/his voice.
As an example, Anette's rendition of "Slow, Love, Slow": why should a metal composer write a JAZZ song?
Because Anette's soft voice will fit that style like Cinderella's foot fit the glass slipper.
Or the recent "Harvest": the calm and earthy voice of Troy matching perfectly the song's theme!
Should I mention too how he was able to rely upon Marko's ability to shift between characters like a theater actor? From a sweet lover to a sea devil?
Of course everyone of us has their own preferences, but it's safe to say that Tuomas knows well how to gift everyone's ears with songs tailored on the main voice!
👋🇮🇹🖖
Tuomas is the "god" in Nightwish
There is no better version of the Phantom of the Opera than this !! Tarja was a beast !! but im all after Floor when its come to Nightiwsh anyway. Floor is ultimate singer for this band
Hey when you like to here Marco singing check out high hopes from the same End of an Era Show DVD. Kiss Way your Lips are still Red. Live at Wembley ore the Islander live feom Tempere Show also have fun
The excitement and joy hid an underlying tone of regret and anger. This was Tarja's last show with Nightwish. She was fired immediately afterward with a letter from the rest of the band.
nice reaction! thanks for sharing and cheers from germany! :-)
You two are really sweet together...nice reaction. I'm hopelessly devoted to Floor (as relative newcomer to NW) but this is a pretty wild performance in anyone's books!
I haven't read the previous comments but I'm guessing many would've said similar things to me - in that although this is absolutely brilliant (Marko's vocals at his best) and Tarja too! But I hope you check out Floor singing 'Phantom' with Henk Poorte) on a Dutch singing TV show called 'Beste Zangers' which really is a must see!! And other Floor performances from this TV series. Always look forward to your reactions - they brighten my day! 😃 🙂
THANKS for some TARJAWISH !!!!
In love with the divine TARJA'S vast brilliant diverse solo career !!!!!!!
💘💘💘💘
To get a feel for Anette you should check out "bye bye beautiful."
Great reaction have a look at I'm not a Vampire (revamped) by Falling in Reverse, also Popular Monster and Zombiefied. Bloody Angel, Torn Apart by Avatar. Also Metallica.
Tarja's vocal style is usually very operatic. You said you propably heard the song NEMO with Tarja long ago. In that song her vocals, especially on the official music video, are not operatic. Maybe a bit operatic on live performances.
If she would sing Nemo live the same way she does in the studio, then the instrumentals would drown her voice.
Another great reaction guys- When I first stumbled across your channel I thought you were Italian. Very surprised when you revealed you’re Polish!!
I'm Polish, Andrei is Romanian. Thanks for watching 😁
You should definetely check Floor Jansen singing that song: "Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019"
Great reaction guys, whilst my favourite era is the current Floor era there is no denying the brilliance of Tarja, and Annette, and the incredible music they contributed to whilst in the band 🤘
no comparison with tarja or floor, but, without tarja there would not be a floor(most likely)... i like both three( yes i like Anette also, matched to their best songs they are all good.)
