YEEEEEEEES this was my suggestion on patreon, thanks so much for reacting to it! Glad you guys liked it, it seemed right up your alley. Next on your Tarja journey should definitely be "The Siren" - ideally from Lowlands 2005, but End of an Era is good too. OR go for a classic Nightwish ballad with "Swanheart" live from their From Wishes to Eternity concert. And you guys are right! The reason you're not seeing smartphones is because this was 2005. Tarja (pronounced Tar-e-yah, with a y sound instead of a j) was fired from the band right after this concert. There was a lot of drama behind the scenes, a lot of he said, she said, and the way the guys handled her dismissal was uhhhh not great, to put it very lightly. What it really came down to, it seems, was that they were very much in different places in their lives at the time and wanted different things and couldn't find a compromise. Obviously, it goes a lot deeper and there's a lot that went into it but at this point in time it kind of doesn't matter. Tarja has gone on to have a great solo career, Nightwish moved on with Anette, and then Floor joined in 2013. Floor and Tarja have been friends since Tarja was still in Nightwish, so nearly 20 years. As far as I know they've never done a full show together, but there are some videos of a performance they did of "Over The Hills and Far Away" a few years ago. It's not great quality but it's fun seeing them together. Nighwish with Tarja helped shape symphonic metal into what it is now. Their last album with Floor was more folk metal, I guess? Interestingly, a glance at your reactions to Floor videos shows me that of those songs, only two were originally for Floor. Two were originally Anette songs, and two were Tarja ("Romanticide" and "Ghost Love Score"). So with that in mind, it can sometimes be a bit hard for new fans to get a full grasp on where the band is actually at now since Floor does so many of the old songs mixed in, but once you get more familiar with the Tarja era music (not just her vocals but how it was written and composed) it becomes a bit more obvious even when Floor sings them that they were originally from that era. The music overall just has a very different feel. SIDE NOTE but I know you'll probably get requests for "Wishmaster," because it's a classic and I get it, but if you guys do that song please for the love of all that is holy do the From Wishes to Eternity live. Everyone does the End of an Era version and it easily the weakest of Tarja's live performances of that song. She was very ill for that show and while it doesn't really make a difference for most of the concert (unless you're already very familiar with her voice, then it's obvious) but "Wishmaster" is one of the songs were it's clear she's not operating at 100% because it's a much faster song.
Thank you so much Alice, we absolutely loved this one and cant wait to check Swanheart. Again, thanks for putting us back on to some great Nightwish and we appreciate all your support!!!
You can check out Nightwish with Tarja, Beauty of the Beast, The Siren, Dead Boy's Poem, 10th Man Down, and Tarja solo after Nightwish doing Muse cover of Supremacy
There actually is a third singer Annette Olsen who was the main vocalist for 2 nightwish albums between Tarja and Floor. She doesn't have the same voice but still has a great voice it's a tad more poppy but there are good songs on those albums aswell.
Very true, Annette is a great singer as well. I also like the stuff she´s done after Nightwish. Specially the 2 Dark Element albums and the Allen/Olzon album "Worlds apart" really rock
Nightwish always makes me feel like I should be riding around on a horse conquering new territories. Like Xena, warrior princess or something 😊😆 I agree about watching a show through your phone. I think it takes away from the experience when you’re more worried about getting good footage. People can’t just be in the moment and enjoy stuff anymore without filming it 😩
Love nightwish! Love older nightwish! Thanks Alice! Great choice! I would so love love love to see nightwish live! Such a good show! When I first heard nightwish I fell in love with them! Thanks guys!🤓❤️
the first four or five albums are more on the powermetal side. that's the nightwish that i really enjoy. my suggestion would be "the pharaoh sails to orion".
NW definitely had more power metal influence when they were younger. So yes, part of Tarja's era was more power metal like. I miss that sometimes nowadays. You should check out their From Wishes to Eternity concert to see that power and rawness. 😄
Please react to Slaying the dreamer from the same end of an era concert, and Tarja solo in Woodstock 2016 performing Supremacy (Muse cover). She is amazing. A classically trained lyrical soprano, one of the founders of Nightwish and the very reason there is Nightwish as we know it. She is what made this band stand out from the rest, to me. Absolutely fantastic vocalist.
I'd even say that she is a huge part of the entire Symphonic Metal genre becoming what is is nowadays along with Sharon den Adel, Vibeke Stene and a few more ladies. Their bands influenced several other bands and singers to compose a similar sound and aesthetics.
Hey guys great reaction! My pick from this same concert would be "Wishmaster" Tarja kills it on vocals and Emppu's guitar playing is awesome! Btw the J in her name is pronounced as a Y. Nightwish ALWAYS kicks ass!
No matter what genre of music your into when in the moment of witnessing live music please put the cell phones away and enjoy the event as it goes down 💙
For me this song will forever be associated with the game Runescape, and the Falador Massacre of 2006. Soon after it happened a video was uploaded using this song as the background music.
Their 2nd and 3rd CD's are just pure power metal, Tuomas was very influenced at that time by Stratovarius and it shows on the songs. If you want to check some songs from these albums watch any song from "From Wishes to Eternity" DVD, every song is a masterpiece. "Pharaoh sails to Orion" and "Fantasmic" are 2 great power metal songs you can check :) LP, 4th and 5th CD are symphonic metal.
There was an international cross country skiing sprint in the Helsinki Olympic Stadium today. It was live on TV and Tarja sang a song there, no band, so obviously with a backing track. As far as I know Tarja lives in Spain, so I was a little surprised. She had an all black leather outfit, she looked good, very lively performance. Steve and Seagulls performed a couple of songs. Last autumn Tarja visited The Seagulls nest. They performed a couple of songs together. The video is on Steve and Seagulls channel.
What a cool reaction!! i agree with everyone who recommend Slaying the Dreamer from the same concert, if you enjoyed this song you're gonna love that one! Also The Pharao Sails to Orion from the Wishes to Eternity concert, definitely power metal era 🧡
In terms of genre classifications, I'd say the first Nightwish album falls closer to folk metal, the second and third are the most like power metal, and then from the 4th onward they've been what you would call symphonic metal. It's not a hard separation between albums, but I'd say that's how they would generally be split.
If you have Amazon you can watch the Wacken concert I was part of 82 thousand and it is beyond anything you can fully understand. However, it is if you watch the concert
Try Floors version in Helsinki 2012.....tarja got kicked out of the band .....her and Floor do " over the hills and far away " together There very good friends and we would all love to see a whole Nightwish show with the 2 of them .
1. singer Tarja married a guy who ended up being her manager and wanting more money for her even tho the band always agreed that EVERYTING would be equally given to all members of the band. she even said she will not do US or Japan tours after the once album came out. after the band said that they will not go to south America then she changed her mind. her husband booked the south America conserts and did not want to lose the money.
Please react to Nightwish Wishmaster, The Siren, The Kinslayer and Slaying the Dreamer from the DVD End of an Era. Also react to Beauty and the Beast, Walking in the Air, FantasMic, She is my Sin, Elvenpath, The Pharao sails to Orion and Swanheart from the DVD Wishes to Eternity.
i think if tarja going to miss universum contest that time,she win sure, oooh my day dream hot lady :) great reaction and thanx to get tarja era nightwish reaction. have awesome weekend. blind channel get today new single bad idea and i heard they start now usa tour.
There is an entire concert called "From Wishes to Eternity" that Nightwish did in the year 2000. Someone has put that concert up on yourtube. There you see Tarja with Nightwish at her absolute best in my opinion. I would recommend "The Pharaoh sails to Orion", and "Deep Silent" both are from the aforementioned concert.
Alot of reactors who've been around awhile turn formulaic and predictable. I love that you gentlemen genuinely seem to be enjoying discovering new songs! Tarja (pron: Tar-Yuh) is a fantastic singer, but underwent some diva-like personality changes that caused the band to fire her. More great songs from this same concert, End of an Era 2005! Wish I Had An Angel. Phantom of the Opera, and the most mind-blowing Pink Floyd tribute, High Hopes with Marko on vocals!
tarjagasm? watch phantom of the opera from the same concert. you'll actually see what looks like a you know in the audience lol Also if you want to see her headbanging, check out Slaying the Dreamer. She also gets to use her chest voice in that song with some great belting. She left because she was fired after this very show. Tuomas gave her a letter and said not to open it till the next day. overnight they posted the letter publicaly talkin all kinda mess about her. pretty much lied about her like they did about firing the 2nd singer Annette, whom they said quit, while she was sick and in the hospital and also pregnant. If you want to hear Tarja and Floor together, they sang Over the Hills and Far Away during a Tarja concert. They are good friends.
Smokey said it well. They first two albums was power metal with the symphonic elements. You need react to the queens of heavy Metal. From the 80s Warlock (Doro is the singer) and also the band Chastain "The voice of the cult"
*Tarja is as good as Floor* Well, yes, but also it's hard to compare these two.. Tarja has better operatic voice (because it's all she does all the time) while Floor is way more versatile. Truth is they are both very good in what they do in their own "categories"..
Actually, Tarja solo career is super versatile, she sings a lot with her chest voice and sing in differents styles. It was Thoumas who was obsessed with Tarja singing mostly using operatic voice and that was one of the reason for Tarja wanting to start her solo career and compose music on her own.
@@y.a.s9198 She also doesn’t sing all opera all the time with Nightwish either. She barely utilized her opera skills at all on Century Child and Once! And yet still we see these comments in every Tarja video, it’s wild.
@@cinnabonbons It's because most people don't know anything about singing. They're like "Oooh her tone and her vowels are different. Floor doesn't do that - it must be operatic head voice".
“Over The Hills And Far Away” with Tarja and Floor together! Nice reaction guys! The same song “Planet Hell” with Floor is also amazing! Thank you guys!
🤘❤🤘 So glad you acknowledged Nightwish's 16 years of gold & platinum success before Floor was hired. To this day, according to the R.I.A.A., Nightwish's best & most successful selling album is their 2011 album with Annette on vocals. Floor is phenomenal, but we'll never forget Tarja (Tar-ya) and Annette.
I'm not seeing this in a comment straight away, but yes, Floor and Tarja did do a performance live together. Can't remember the name of the video, but if you look it up, you'll find it quickly ;)
Old nightwish was more like power metal with some synths and just opera singing. Nowadays it's more like epic, symphonic and folk metal. I love both eras.
On the hard rock/metal stage, if you go there, very very person show their phone comparing to some other style of music, the pop stuff usually. Different way to enjoy the music
It is prononced Taa-rr-ee-a Tu-rrU-nen. And she has gone on to a brilliant solo career where her new album Living the dream will be her first best of album , Living The Dream. Out December 02, 2022. You will discover that she has a diverse sound and does not limit herself to one genre. And this was 20 years ago before smart phones were a thing. She helped found the band in 1996, and was fired on October 21, 2005. After this very concert. They knew they had decided. She didn't. She is also singing through a head cold and throat infection. Couldn't even sing the sound check. A lot of drama. A very bad ending with matters still splitting fans to this day. Also note Tarja and Floor are still friends to this day.
Hey guys! love the stufff your doing! heres a suggestion: Karkaos, their song kolossos. thyere a montreal band thats female drummed and female fronted with an ominous epic sound. tight composition and amazing talent comes out of this lot. Theyre not really popular despite the quality sound they offer, so i recommend you discover what they got in store. Thanks again for all your reactions.
Tarja and Floor have different enough voices (to me), that it's difficult to say who is better... they both excel in their own ways.. I fell in love with Nightwish with Tarja in it and I still love it with Floor... even Annette was ok
Tarja (I always pronounce it Tar-ya) was kicked out by Tuomas. Annette took over for a few years and a few songs were written about the situation. Annette got sick and they had Elize from Amaranthe and Alissa from Arch Enemy fill I'm for a shoe before the parties had a falling out and Floor was contracted to finish the tour.
Correction, Tarja was going to leave the band, however things deteriorated so much that the 'whole' band decided enough was enough, and so she was let go by them earlier than when she planned to leave.
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 Tarja 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. The group wrote a letter of resignation full of attacks to Tarja and her husband. They delivered this letter to Tarja at the end of the "End of an era" show and posted it on the band's website the next day. It was a scandal. In response, Tarja wrote a letter but did not attack the band. She also 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 (see this one, for example: ruclips.net/video/gt0haAiGbHo/видео.html) 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" 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
Tarr-yah new album out always a mix of metal and rock she is a great solo artist We getting there The Nightwish army is prepping you for a specific song that has deep meaning and is their biggest hit song. She was fired due to creating animosity in the band she refused to practice with the band, her perspective was she felt pressured to Death Growl in a time when female Death Growls were becoming more popular and preferred by most metal heads. Also another important part as most bands the lead singer is a front person usually Nightwish it's the Keyboardist it's why we are there, also why no matter the lineup change we are still fans.
They super equal basically just different training styles, Tarja 100& classical singign and Opera Floor is classically/rock trained and has 10 years exoerience and considered on hte same level of goth music as Amy Lee as influence to the scene.
I think you've reacted to Ignea, don't forget them. ruclips.net/video/Q1gBx_lWigQ/видео.html Sorry to break the atmosphere down. Nice reaction by the way.
YEEEEEEEES this was my suggestion on patreon, thanks so much for reacting to it! Glad you guys liked it, it seemed right up your alley. Next on your Tarja journey should definitely be "The Siren" - ideally from Lowlands 2005, but End of an Era is good too. OR go for a classic Nightwish ballad with "Swanheart" live from their From Wishes to Eternity concert.
And you guys are right! The reason you're not seeing smartphones is because this was 2005.
Tarja (pronounced Tar-e-yah, with a y sound instead of a j) was fired from the band right after this concert. There was a lot of drama behind the scenes, a lot of he said, she said, and the way the guys handled her dismissal was uhhhh not great, to put it very lightly. What it really came down to, it seems, was that they were very much in different places in their lives at the time and wanted different things and couldn't find a compromise. Obviously, it goes a lot deeper and there's a lot that went into it but at this point in time it kind of doesn't matter. Tarja has gone on to have a great solo career, Nightwish moved on with Anette, and then Floor joined in 2013. Floor and Tarja have been friends since Tarja was still in Nightwish, so nearly 20 years.

Imaginaerum was an incredible album in its own right. She doesn't have the versatility to Floor but she's still an exceptional artist!
Annette sucked.... sorry to say but she sucked lol
Nightwish always makes me feel like I should be riding around on a horse conquering new territories. Like Xena, warrior princess or something 😊😆

Oh shit! This is a classic!
To explain why Nightwish lasted this long, you only need to hear Sleeping Sun or Siren (with Tarya). Those are surreal experience.
Hey guys great reaction! My pick from this same concert would be "Wishmaster" Tarja kills it on vocals and Emppu's guitar playing is awesome! Btw the J in her name is pronounced as a Y. Nightwish ALWAYS kicks ass!
Yes, say "Tarya" (short "a") and you're close.

Planet Hell, ladies and gentlemen. An unique masterpiece.
What a cool reaction!! i agree with everyone who recommend Slaying the Dreamer from the same concert, if you enjoyed this song you're gonna love that one!
Also The Pharao Sails to Orion from the Wishes to Eternity concert, definitely power metal era 🧡
Okay this time I have definitely heard about this band and the song great reaction I'm about to watch it
"bro is killing the synth" makes every song
Dudes, this was powerful! You will love "Dead Boy's Poem" live From Wishes to Eternity concert (2000). Please do check it out.
Good reaction. I prefer Tarja. She's amazing. Try the song "Slaying the dreamer" from this concert.
Pharaon sails to Orion next with ,,Taria".
In terms of genre classifications, I'd say the first Nightwish album falls closer to folk metal, the second and third are the most like power metal, and then from the 4th onward they've been what you would call symphonic metal.

i love tarjas singings with Nightwish.listen tarja singing 10 th man down live youll love it🙂
This show was from 2005 so that's why there were no phones lol. And it's pronounced "TAR-yuh" by the way 😃
If you have Amazon you can watch the Wacken concert I was part of 82 thousand and it is beyond anything you can fully understand. However, it is if you watch the concert
Try Floors version in Helsinki 2012.....tarja got kicked out of the band .....her and Floor do " over the hills and far away " together
There very good friends and we would all love to see a whole Nightwish show with the 2 of them .
1. singer Tarja married a guy who ended up being her manager and wanting more money for her even tho the band always agreed that EVERYTING would be equally given to all members of the band. she even said she will not do US or Japan tours after the once album came out. after the band said that they will not go to south America then she changed her mind. her husband booked the south America conserts and did not want to lose the money.
With Tarja Nightwish was true symphonic metal, very powerful theatre :) .
you guys NEED to check out THIS CALLING by all that remains!! you will not be disappointed!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Great band!

i think if tarja going to miss universum contest that time,she win sure, oooh my day dream hot lady :) great reaction and thanx to get tarja era nightwish reaction. have awesome weekend. blind channel get today new single bad idea and i heard they start now usa tour.
There is an entire concert called "From Wishes to Eternity" that Nightwish did in the year 2000. Someone has put that concert up on yourtube. There you see Tarja with Nightwish at her absolute best in my opinion. I would recommend "The Pharaoh sails to Orion", and "Deep Silent" both are from the aforementioned concert.
Oh yeah the pianos in those are incredible ❤
Watch them together Tarja and Floor with Over the Hills!
amazing band love nightwish dead boy,s poem
Alot of reactors who've been around awhile turn formulaic and predictable. I love that you gentlemen genuinely seem to be enjoying discovering new songs!
Tarja (pron: Tar-Yuh) is a fantastic singer, but underwent some diva-like personality changes that caused the band to fire her.
More great songs from this same concert, End of an Era 2005! Wish I Had An Angel. Phantom of the Opera, and the most mind-blowing Pink Floyd tribute, High Hopes with Marko on vocals!
tarjagasm? watch phantom of the opera from the same concert. you'll actually see what looks like a you know in the audience lol
Also if you want to see her headbanging, check out Slaying the Dreamer. She also gets to use her chest voice in that song with some great belting.
She left because she was fired after this very show. Tuomas gave her a letter and said not to open it till the next day. overnight they posted the letter publicaly talkin all kinda mess about her. pretty much lied about her like they did about firing the 2nd singer Annette, whom they said quit, while she was sick and in the hospital and also pregnant.
If you want to hear Tarja and Floor together, they sang Over the Hills and Far Away during a Tarja concert. They are good friends.
Smokey said it well. They first two albums was power metal with the symphonic elements.
You need react to the queens of heavy Metal. From the 80s Warlock (Doro is the singer) and also the band Chastain "The voice of the cult"
They could tie in Tarja with Doro and react to their duet "Walking with the angels" :)
their first 3*
Ok Tarja before and during Nightwish she has done a series of live stage theatre and a super model
Both are amazing but I think Tarja is more an opera singer in a metal band. Floor's style just fits better with them for me. Loved this song though.
Jukka's drum beat is awesome in this one.
*Tarja is as good as Floor*
Well, yes, but also it's hard to compare these two.. Tarja has better operatic voice (because it's all she does all the time) while Floor is way more versatile. Truth is they are both very good in what they do in their own "categories"..
Actually, Tarja solo career is super versatile, she sings a lot with her chest voice and sing in differents styles. It was Thoumas who was obsessed with Tarja singing mostly using operatic voice and that was one of the reason for Tarja wanting to start her solo career and compose music on her own.
@@y.a.s9198 She also doesn’t sing all opera all the time with Nightwish either. She barely utilized her opera skills at all on Century Child and Once! And yet still we see these comments in every Tarja video, it’s wild.
@@cinnabonbons It's because most people don't know anything about singing. They're like "Oooh her tone and her vowels are different. Floor doesn't do that - it must be operatic head voice".
Floor singing like ABBA :D
THANKS for TARJAWISH !!!!!!!
TARJA = 💘💘🧡🧡💛💛💚💚💙💙💜💜
Yes!! Next slaying the dreamer with Tarja
“Over The Hills And Far Away” with Tarja and Floor together! Nice reaction guys! The same song “Planet Hell” with Floor is also amazing! Thank you guys!
All hale the REAL TRUE Queen of Nightwish!!!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍👍👍
12:51 Floor would be a head taller then you sir... even without her high heeled boots on, hahaha, intimidating aswell..
I always maintain ppl who go to a concert and watch it on their phone really should save themselves some money and wait for the DVD to come out lol
Hi please react to eraser by nine mails please Its. So underrated and deep
🤘❤🤘 So glad you acknowledged Nightwish's 16 years of gold & platinum success before Floor was hired. To this day, according to the R.I.A.A., Nightwish's best & most successful selling album is their 2011 album with Annette on vocals. Floor is phenomenal, but we'll never forget Tarja (Tar-ya) and Annette.
Once is actually still their highest selling album of all time with Dark Passion Play coming in second.
@@cinnabonbons Oh, no! Someone should inform the R.I.A.A. of this since they keep legal tract of all music sales worldwide.😱😱😱
I'm not seeing this in a comment straight away, but yes, Floor and Tarja did do a performance live together. Can't remember the name of the video, but if you look it up, you'll find it quickly ;)
Gotta do a lot more Nine inch nails. Maybe even make a day for it.
Old nightwish was more like power metal with some synths and just opera singing. Nowadays it's more like epic, symphonic and folk metal. I love both eras.
Tuomas with Tarya (tar-e-ya) is a loong story. Since elementary school.
Hi guys! Please react to Within Temptation feat Tarja Turunen, "Paradise (what about us?)" Mera Luna Festival
All that remains: This Calling! Also Six and Two Weeks are awesome
It's actually one if my favourite song 👌if I have to go to war, this will be the song that I play in my ears ✊ tx from Québec Canada 🇨🇦 🤟
Tarja, j pronounced as a y
No one has a phone up because it was 2005
On the hard rock/metal stage, if you go there, very very person show their phone comparing to some other style of music, the pop stuff usually. Different way to enjoy the music
These guys know metal a lot, you can see that by the way they know the name of Nightwish's new vocalist.
lol
What's up all you people talking trash. You guys should react to Song#3 by stone sour. The acoustic or original version. Either one is sick.
TARJAAA! 👍🤘💗 I LOVE TARJA! 😊
It is prononced Taa-rr-ee-a Tu-rrU-nen. And she has gone on to a brilliant solo career where her new album Living the dream will be her first best of album , Living The Dream. Out December 02, 2022.
You will discover that she has a diverse sound and does not limit herself to one genre. And this was 20 years ago before smart phones were a thing. She helped found the band in 1996, and was fired on October 21, 2005. After this very concert. They knew they had decided. She didn't.
She is also singing through a head cold and throat infection. Couldn't even sing the sound check.
A lot of drama. A very bad ending with matters still splitting fans to this day.
Also note Tarja and Floor are still friends to this day.
yes, she does have the voice of an Angel but with this song I think Annette's rendition excels more by adding that "witchy" type vocals.
Tarja❤️
New follower for that!
Love when you guys do NW reactions! M O R E please!!!!
Best wishes from Namibia
Nightwish during Tarja's time was symphonic metal. I'm not sure what the band is now.
friends there is also one with Floor Jansen a bit from this time at least from her beginning you should listen to that too good luck with it
Hey guys! love the stufff your doing! heres a suggestion: Karkaos, their song kolossos. thyere a montreal band thats female drummed and female fronted with an ominous epic sound. tight composition and amazing talent comes out of this lot. Theyre not really popular despite the quality sound they offer, so i recommend you discover what they got in store. Thanks again for all your reactions.
It's pronounced Tar-e-ah
yeaaaahhh lml
Thanks
Loving the reactions!
New band for you to check out: Nineteenth Paradise! Any of their songs are great. Id check Susie Susie or Teenage Werewolf!
You should check her solo songs 🩷
If you wanna nail the pronunciation of her name "Tar-yah" works really well.
Tarja and Floor have different enough voices (to me), that it's difficult to say who is better... they both excel in their own ways.. I fell in love with Nightwish with Tarja in it and I still love it with Floor... even Annette was ok
React to Theatre of Tragedy - Siren, thank you
Theatre of Tragedy are so underrated on the reaction scene, it's baffling.
My favorite Nightwish Song!!!
Please Please Please do Nemo with Tarja!!
Do not obey - all that remains
Tarja (I always pronounce it Tar-ya) was kicked out by Tuomas. Annette took over for a few years and a few songs were written about the situation. Annette got sick and they had Elize from Amaranthe and Alissa from Arch Enemy fill I'm for a shoe before the parties had a falling out and Floor was contracted to finish the tour.
Correction, Tarja was going to leave the band, however things deteriorated so much that the 'whole' band decided enough was enough, and so she was let go by them earlier than when she planned to leave.
Oh! Before I forget! Blind Guardian Curse My Name. I think you're in for a trip through time.
Why would it be Tarha? She's from Finland not Mexico.
Hello from Finland: You are ?
Great reaction, loved it, except for your pronouciation of Tarja think aria then put the T back in like Taria, thanks again.
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 Tarja 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. The group wrote a letter of resignation full of attacks to Tarja and her husband. They delivered this letter to Tarja at the end of the "End of an era" show and posted it on the band's website the next day. It was a scandal. In response, Tarja wrote a letter but did not attack the band. She also 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 (see this one, for example: ruclips.net/video/gt0haAiGbHo/видео.html) 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"
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:

Before the smartphone? Ffs this was wacken 2014!!!
And check out and all that remains song I would think the most popular one because it was on a guitar hero is called six 🗑️🗣️4️⃣🧬
Yessss tarja ❤️❤️❤️
Tarr-yah new album out always a mix of metal and rock she is a great solo artist We getting there The Nightwish army is prepping you for a specific song that has deep meaning and is their biggest hit song. She was fired due to creating animosity in the band she refused to practice with the band, her perspective was she felt pressured to Death Growl in a time when female Death Growls were becoming more popular and preferred by most metal heads. Also another important part as most bands the lead singer is a front person usually Nightwish it's the Keyboardist it's why we are there, also why no matter the lineup change we are still fans.
Well, their biggest hit song is Nemo. You mean, their biggest hit song on reaction videos? I still think that’s GLS.
They super equal basically just different training styles, Tarja 100& classical singign and Opera Floor is classically/rock trained and has 10 years exoerience and considered on hte same level of goth music as Amy Lee as influence to the scene.
Tar - E - a The J is a Y
I think you've reacted to Ignea, don't forget them. ruclips.net/video/Q1gBx_lWigQ/видео.html Sorry to break the atmosphere down. Nice reaction by the way.
