- My name is Josh. Subtitles:16 languages. I love Floor's voice. She is so talented and it really sounds like she has been classically trained at some point. This is from 2012 Buenos Aires performance. She carries such power and control and her tone is phenomenal! And this band rocks! I loved the guitar & drum solos. I can't wait to hear more from this group. Please put your recommendations down in the comments. Thank you for watching my reactions.

![WHO IS THIS ANGEL ?! LOVE THIS BAND !! FIRST TIME HEARING (NIGHTWISH - GHOST LOVE SCORE) [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/FTrN4JLKY4I/mqdefault.jpg)
Welcome to all of you Nightwish Army soldiers! I'm excited to join the ranks and begin my journey. Many of you have mentioned that I picked the wrong version of this song but in some ways I'm glad I chose it. This is Floor's beginning with the group and it makes her performance that much more impressive. Those who have watched my reactions know that I very much try to connect with the artist and follow their journey from their beginning to the present day. I also do my best to understand and feel each song's message and analyze the vocal aspects of each performance. So, now I can move on to the 2013 version and beyond and continue the journey. For those who are from the pre-Floor camp, I will also be going back to see some of the Tarja performances as well. I'm specifically planning on contrasting the two Phantom versions for one thing. Thank you for all the awesome suggestions and information and welcome to my channel.
Thanks Josh. From both a personal and Nightwish Army perspective, that's great news! Like so many of us, you will hopefully be enthralled with yet another singing phenomenon and band.
YESSS! I am an Opera singer, on theater stages since 1997, but I love Nightwish and Floor. They are an amazing band all with immense qualities, Floor is the icing on the cake that made them reach the magnificence. They did so many songs wonderful.
You absolutely have to watch Tampere, Argentina, Wacken and Wembley concerts !!!
Yeah the wacken version is just outta this world amazing.
best to stay with Wacken playlist for a bit, her performance of Phantom of the Opera & Vilja Lied is from Beste Zangers 2019 a Dutch tv show filmed on Ibeza, some top Dutch singers get together & sing each others songs ( or songs that hold meaning) back top the original singers but reinterpreted : Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019 :ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html
Floor Jansen sings Vilja Lied for Henk Poort, Beste Zangers 2019 (eng subs : ruclips.net/video/k4Bp7exJufs/видео.html
Floor Jansen sings Shallow for Emma Heesters Beste Zangers 2019 Eng. Subs : ruclips.net/video/aZcvTYQ3HRw/видео.html
Thank you!!! I love what I'm hearing or should I say reading. I'm looking forward to your Phantom reactions. Very interesting to see how you see those two performances compared to each other. To me the Nightwish version is The one, because it is heavier, it's ROCK! Some, many like Floor and Henk better. Someone said Andrew Loyd Webber told he liked the Nightwish 2005 version. Can't verify that.
Wacken 2013, Tampere 2015, Wembley Arena 2015, Buoenos Aires 2018 are full of great songs performances, Helsinki 2005 too.
See you!
Floor Jansen is incredible!!!
I think she is credible
She is edible :)
@@cancelled_user And dible?
As amazing as she is here but Live at waken she takes it to another level if it’s possible
I think you would love all of her Beste Zanger's performances. It includes a Phantom of the Opera duet with Hank Poort. You won't be disappointed.
Yeh, and don't forget her solo version of Shallow
I second a reaction to her Phantom of the Opera alongside Henk Poort in Beste Zangers. Henk Poort is her idol, and you can tell by how well they fit together too that she's really been taking from him and it explains a lot about how she sings I think.
Phantom of the Opera is a statement ... one of the best performance of her .....
And O mio babbino caro, she sang years ago in a Dutch TV progam ruclips.net/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/видео.html
That's actually how I stumbled on Floor, and then on Nightwish.
Hello @ SingerDad Reacts ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar..
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in 2012 at Buenos Aires (Argentina) with Floor Jansen, their 3rd (and still present) female main singer who just joined several month before this concert.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
As I could see, you understood very well all that happened in that show. You felt the enormous wave of energy, as well as the special qualities of the singer and the band members, as well as the complexity of the composition. The comparison with "Bohemian Rhapsody" was on point imo. The good news is that all their performances are of an extraordinary good quality level :) I enjoyed your reaction, and I expect many, many more.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
Hope you'll continue this journey with us, so I'll drop here a list of songs with the current lineup of the band you may like:

Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
Gabriel, I really think you should start with "Nightwish Army here, your reaction..." You've certainly earned the right to call yourself one of the leaders of our army.
@@cornflowerofsweden1288 Thanks for your kind words. I miss that too, even I don't see myself as a leader. We'll see.
@@gabriel.bardac I think you are a very humble and honest person and I respect that a lot.
That said, let me tell you this: you might not feel yourself as a leader, but I think you should be considered the *flag-bearer* of the Nightwish's fan base.
I'm sure no one could be more fitted than you in this role...
Thanks for your efforts!
👋🇮🇹🖖
Edit: my grammar sucks, sometimes...😅
here he is :D
i Think i can speak for most of the people here, we are all verry greatfull for the work u put in to tell reactors about nightwish. dont think any of the reactors would learn to get a grip of the band as fast as they do if it wasnt for u.
So Thank You Verry Much for all the time u put in.
@@flaviovergottini652 @MsStecarl About the leadership - Tuomas said it better: "I, too, wish to be a decent manboy but all I am / Is smoke and mirrors / Still given everything, may I be deserving" - that verses hitted me hard..
I'm glad I can do something obviously useful, helping new reactors understand where they are and where to go.
Sidenote: at this show Floor had been with the band only for a few months (at Wacken 2013, just a few months later she was a lot more comfortable with the songs and added a few extra personal spins to them), since she was called in to take over the lead singer role mid-tour due to health issues of the previous singer of the band - she learned the set list in a rush (there is actually a documentary about that called: 'Please learn the set list in 48 hours' if you're curious:)
Now since you mentioned 'stripping back' the instruments and imagining a more 'a-cappella' experience of her vocals, recently she and Troy (the multi-instrumentalist of the band that joined the band roughly at the same time as her) did 2 acoustic renditions of Nightwish songs for Planet rock ('Nemo' an older Nightwish song and 'How's the heart' from their latest album released this April) with just Floor and Troy's classic guitar and slight backing vocals - you might enjoy those:)
Additionally as some others mentioned, Nightwish did a fantastic cover of Pink floyd's 'High hopes', showcasing more of their male vocalist/bassist (Marco), which you might also enjoy:)
...and since you mentioned Heart, Floor did a great cover of 'Alone' with her previous band (and in more recent solo shows).
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Nightwish and Floor Jansen; enjoy the trip:)
plus the video work in the wacken vid is better i mean lighting , camera.... cuts... etc
⬆️⬆️ *THIS!* ⬆️⬆️
I appreciate this performance a lot, but Wacken is from another planet!😵😳😵
Her first concert with them was Seattle October 1st, and this was taken either December 14 or 15. You can see Emppu rocking out when she nails the final note and he has a huge smile on his face. He is enjoying it as much as the fans.
@@galadballcrusher8182 pretty much agree except that IMO the cuts are a little too quick and bounce around more than necessary and I'd especially like longer shots of Floor!
Jan Kleva Ivančić Agree 2013 Wacken concert is canon for this song. You both see and hear the progress in her performance. She owned the song by then.
Floor also nails Heart's Alone if you like to go back to 80's.
And here a link m.ruclips.net/video/OI2sojuvnrY/видео.html
Or this version with piano. The clapping at the start of the other one got in the way - but i haven't listened right through yet.

"God created music and said it was good....."
"Then he created Nightwish and he smiled for it was great....."
"Then God created Floor Jansen and he dropped the mic...."
"For he had created Perfection"
😊on point 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
...and then Nightwish performed "The Greatest Show On Earth". ; )
I must have that on a T-shirt
Try the Poet and the Pendulum live by Nightwish.
Omg I am a Christian and I approve of this lol.
Welcome to Floor Jansen, the 6'1" Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. You've heard about 40% of what she can do. I've heard her sing rock, metal, classical aria, country, lullaby, smooth jazz, pop and musical. I've heard her sing in English, Dutch, German, Finnish, Spanish, Italian and Latin. I've heard her do deathgrowls and hold a D6 for 8 seconds. And I've heard her do all those things live on stage. Sure, there are singers who can do any of the things she does better than her, but there's only one who can do all of them and sound great doing it all.
Your last line is the point. Floor is like a decathlon athlete in singing. With a few specialties near world record level. Coincidentally and funny, another Dutch woman giant did/does exactly that, former heptathlon athlete and now world level sprinter Daphne Schippers.
Agree with both, but Floor is not a giant. She is 183cm, which is only hair more than 6'0". She is just a tall amazon type woman.
For non-europeans that's a giant.
@@oo.llpee.7457 HEHE. Xena princess warrior.
@@corbosman nah, I'm short man myself (165cm), and even I don't consider that a giant.
Their Cover of Pink Flyd's "High Hopes" is to die for
That has Marco the bassist singing.
Second that. Also Phantom of the Opera with the first singer Tarja.
Ok nightwish covering Pink Floyd needs to be an official worldwide announcement, not a RUclips comment next time. This is the most important news of 2020 ... don’t just sneak it in when no ones looking!
@@KarmasAbutch well, it was a while ago. In the End of an Era concert
A lot of us fans will tell you that the Wacken version is perfection...it is, BUT this is also a great version, and I love it! The Argentina crowd are sooo passionate and at the end you can tell they connected with their new queen when they chant her name...floor,floor,floor😎🤟
Also if you want to hear Floor sing stripped back then check out the planet rock acoustic versions of Nemo and How’s the Heart 😁
Floor tweeted this
If I hadn't had passionate music teachers in my high school, I might never have started singing. I was the bullied, insecure kid who dreamt of singing without knowing that I had a voice for it.
"Because of my dedication at school I dared to crawl out of my shell and started to sing! I became more confident of myself and made friends and was forever in love with music.
"Nothing is as wonderful and honest as making music together. Nothing connects as music can. Music education is therefore very important for many reasons.
Floor's Wiki Bio
Floor Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. After After Forever split up she started teaching performing in her own course called Wanna be a Star?!
She used to play the guitar, piano and flute and has completed several years of music studies.
From the age of 16 all during this period she was fronting the the Band Apocalypse (later known as After Forever) in 1997 until they disbanded in 2009. She then did vocal coaching and formed her own band called Revamp which officially broke up in 2016 because of Floor's commitment to Nightwish.
The RockAcademy in the Netherlands is an actual Bachelors degree, conservatory style, but focusing on the rock/pop industry.
phantom of the opera Floor Jansen and Henk Poort ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html
For an almost a capella performance, check out "How's the Heart" acoustic version. Just Floor accompanied by Troy on acoustic guitar and some harmonies. Simply beautiful.
I huge up to this suggestion. Just a mind-blowing performance
or Nemo acoustic with troy..awesome
Thanks Dermot I was going to suggest the same thing.
Or her song "I lost myself" that she sang with her band Revamp pre-Nightwish. Just her and a piano... ruclips.net/video/BcGi2l4pouc/видео.html. Most of the rest of the album is metal though ;) It's a fantastic album, with a few guest vocalists in some of the songs. Her duet with Russell Allen is amazing... ruclips.net/video/su_eADl0y4s/видео.html. There's a playlist of the album on youtube.
The Swiss army knife of singing..she's amazing
versatile vocalist, Jansen can sing from ethereal, classical and operatic singing, to powerful belting, and aggressive, raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. She is a soprano.
Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. Later, she started teaching ...Great reaction !
Tuomas is among the best of the true composers present and past he has brought forth in most likelihood the most talented group of our time as for floor no one has yet to see or hear all the tools in her toolbox her talent has no boundaries
I've seen so many coaches reaction to nightwish. They all point out her classical training. Never once mention. Without talent the training means nothing. With her being a empath and a natural singer. The training and coaching only polished the diamond of her voice. Crazy thing is this is first time they put this song back in the playlist. An Floor had only been with the band for 2 months. You should check out the performance at Wacken 2013. They had more time to be together. An made it even better.
Actual they put the song back on to the set-list at Floor's request. Because it one of her favorite Nightwish songs. :-)
Pat Benatar and Queensryche...1970's and 1980's. My generation. Gen X. 👍🏼
Nightwish fan from New Jersey here.
Floorgasm achievement unlocked
Welcome to the Nightwish Army :)
Nightwish Army, North America, Midwest division, reporting for duty
Welcome to the Nightwish army my friend. That note at the end is what we call a Floorgasm. You will not be disappointed with any song they do. Always listen to live concerts particularly Wacken ,Wembley ,Tampere and Buenos Aires 2018. BTW Floor is a vocal coach aswell. Also have a look at a Dutch show Beste Zangers 2019 in which singers sing each others songs. Floor was awesome in this and just shows how versatile she is.
I reckon the floorgasm is not Floor's end note, but the bodily reactions you have when listening to Flooe singing: the chills and goosebumps all over your body, the Wows , OMGs and Cools, the tears, and so on.
Kind regards, Wim
@@wimg.2377 yes you are right . Its the reaction to the note and not the note itself. Sorry I was having a Floorgasm at the time I wrote it!!
I am a big fan of Tarja. However, when I heard this song I was completely blown away. And I come back to this performance again and again, and every time I get goosebumps and sometimes even tears. Its the only performance that got me to tears, actually... The most powerful sung song that I have ever heard.
@@wimg.2377 not to mention being unable to say anything else but "wow" and feeling drained from the journey you have just been taken on ;-)
I hope this is the beginning of your Nightwish journey. Prepare for a crowd.
🤘😎🤘
If you continue to explore Nightwish.. I'll keep coming back to your channel. :) A whole lot of us, actually.
I love how the vocalist gets to build up the crowd and then has to deliver. It is a promise from the vocalist to the audience and when you nail the final note the pay off is amazing. And then the band carries it home.
Tread lightly my friend! Floor is our valkyrie!
I've been performing for almost 40 years. Floor Jensen busts me up every time. What a star she is.
Floor is a gorgeous Singer.
This is called symphonic metal. If want to hear something amazing Floor Jansen and Henk Poort singing "Phantom Of The Opera" it is from a Dutch show called Beste Zanger's means Best Singers, not really a competition it is more just a small group of singers, really good show, no drama just good music. And looking forward to the next Angelina reaction also.
Yep a must see
A little drama though😂, but it's good
Welcome to Nightwish. As someone has already mentioned, Gabriel will likely be along shortly with a helpful background and “map” if you would like to continue your exploration. Enjoy!
Floor hits a D6, her last note, on Beste Zangers singing Phantom Of The Opera with Andrew Lloyd Weber's fave Phantom, Dutch baritone-tenor Henk Poort. Floor took opera lessons in her teen years and that's where she found Henk and he became her idol. Floor has not sung much opera since her 20s, preferring the Symphonic Metal genre, but she can sing any genre. I believe her range is from Alto to high Soprano, encompassing four octaves.
Welcome to the greatest Symphonic Metal band Nightwish!! We're glad to have you! :-)
Welcome in the Nightwish Family 🤗 and congrats to your first Floorgasm..i swear, when you hear more, its not the last hihi 👍🤗 great reaction friend forget, when Floor do headbanging, it called the dutch windmill
The first ever Floorgasm recorded. Although many people don't like this version. However, Emppu's face (guitarist) is the face of a Floorgasm.
Dutch Nightwish Army ! Hi World !
Nightwish has the six most perfectly matched members in the band, each one compliments the other and they form one of the most cohesive musical units in the world. They do not make mistakes in their shows, they have the ability to control a crowd no matter how small or how large(Wacken 2013m 82,000 fans)
This was one of the first live shows Floor performed and she had paractically no time to train any songs, especially with the band, because she jumped in in the middle of the tour.
To be honest, that was one early show of Floor with Nightwish - she had already been a vocal performer and songwriter at that point for over 10 years in her 2 previous bands, After Forever and Revamp.
Kasperi von Schrowe - I guess you mean first live show with Nightwish, because Floor is performing since she is 16...
Yes, I meant that first shows with Nightwish. Of course she was hardcore professional already before NW.
@@janjanssen9629 is your last name pure coincidence, or are you related to...?
Kasperi von Schrowe - wish so... but unfortunately the Janssen (or Jansen) name is just very common in the Netherlands...
This Is definetely the best live version ir this song
Leave it to a Buenos Aires crowd to sing along with the guitar solo! They always really bring the enthusiasm.
You have taken a performance when she was a replacement singer for just about 2 month - mid touring without any preperation. During that time she added and changed something to the original song and at the time of this performance, as good as it is, it was not the rounded performance as it ended up. You should watch the wacken 2013 performance to see how this was transformed to perfection.
Yes, she is classically trained and yes she has so much more to show than this single song. Phantom of the opera is indeed a good song to go forward. "Poet of the pendulum" would be displaying her capabilities of her voice and breath control as well. "Song of myself", "Storytime", "Yours is an empty hope" are awesome as well as she will show you how versitile she is.
She has already changed the song and has her stage costume. The timing is also right. Everything essential is there. Only the stage and performance is smaller.
@@Mischnikvideos Yes, and the big smile on Emppu's face says it all, they already know that they found the missing link and hit the jackpot with Floor.
@@markschattefor6997 Yes, 2.5 months after Anette was kicked out, it looks like Nightwish never had another singer. And not even a temporary emergency solution.
@@markschattefor6997 The look on Tuomas' face at 9:26 says it all for me - he just looks so happy. 'We struck gold here lads!'
@@itsmeagain1745 Tuomas knew Floor from the time they toured together with After Forever, and she was on top of his list.
Floor is Dutch and weird to say, she became well known in Holland when she took a part of the "Beste zangers 2019" show. On that show you can see how versatile she is with singing rock, opera, Dutch folk, latin and even a country like song. The Phantom of the Opera with the real Dutch Phantom Henk Poort is very well reviewed and watched.
ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=floor+jansen+beste+zangers
And also Floor singing Vilja Lied on Beste Zangers
Vilja Lied is german and not dutch. But well these 2 languages are almost the drunk versions of each other...Don't know which one is the drunk though 🤣
Every time I listen to it I'm like flowing to the heaven. Also, I always appreciate the quality of their life performances, they do the same quality and timing, which shows their professionalism, but in the same time the they add some "colors", some little details, so it is always a fun, also people most like the version from WACKEN 2013
Good! More Nightwish !
Floor is the best from Holland ❤❤❤❤
Tears. Every time.
Nice reaction. Genre is symphonic metal. Interesting in this performance is that Floor has just joined to Band(temporary singer) 2 month before to replace previous singer during tour. Majority of audience havet never hear of her and end of the song you hear crowd shouting her name:). Floors Phantom of Opera performance in Beste Zangers tv show is Nightwish version, but Floor have never sing it in Nightwish. Band have performed it only their first singer Tarja(20005). More Nightwish: Poet and pendelum(live Wembley 2015, Greatest show on Earth(Wembley or Tampere 2015 live) and dead boys poem(live Buonos Aires 2018)
Floor Jensen / Henk Poort diet Phantom OF The Opera.
A MUST WATCH!!!!
The phantom of the Opera is much better with Tarja's voice!!!
Nice reaction, Floor is Dutch, and she was on the Rock Academie and has also some classical training, Ghost Love Score from the official live performance from Wacken 2013, you can hear here voice a lot better.Floor is a singer/songwriter/vocal teacher. The live performances from Nightwish with Floor are the best, i only buy the live performances concerts.
Floor can sing everything, angelic, opera, pop, rock, metal, a little jazz, she is a perfectionist with here voice. She is like most of the Dutch, down to earth.
you can better listen to the concert of 2013 in wacken for here live performances.
Nightwish has two great singers, Floor (best female metal singer), and Marco the combination of those two singers is magical. And all the members of the band are great with their own instruments. This is my favorite band on the moment that Floor was in.
I bought the Human Nature studio album because there is no live version of that... yet...
Nightwish is a religion ,despite all of its members denouncing any forced religious ideas,and Floor is our Goddess
No it is not and Floor is just a very talented human being, that's it. Please do not speak for me. If it is a religion for you, speak in your name and leave the rest of us out of it.
@@shuriken4852 Jeez, you must be fun at parties.
I just love Empu's smile at 22:02 hahaha he is like "she did it, she fucking did it and she fucking nailed it haha"
I see you were pondering the lyrics at the start. Don't worry, I suspect most of the fans do too. Tuomas, on keyboards, writes most of the music and lyrics. He thinks of himself as a poet, which he is, and enjoys being obscure and making us work for the meanings. Some words that appear, again and again, in his lyrics are: blue, white, snow, wolves, oceans, seas, moon, pain, love, child, angel, soul, beast, beauty, heavens, loneliness and sometimes lust. Tuomas often lays his soul bare, but the later albums reflect, I think, a mature man who has found a level of peace and happiness that has allowed him to focus on the bigger picture. This is, of course, just my reflection.
Everyone says Wacken 13 but she is amazing everytime. I love that you hear the crowd joining in here !!!!! South American fans love the band .
Awesome Reaction And You mentioned Pat Benatar 👍👍👍 I'll like to add Blondie, Joanne Jet and LITA FORD, Doro And of course Miss Floor Jansen Queen of Metal 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 I'll look forward to The Song Shoemaker and the history behind the song... I can't wait to see this song live....
Wow, nice reaction for a first time !! Be prepared to receive A LOT of feedback on it ;-)
Wait a little bit more, I don't want to steal Gabriel's duty, he'll soon show up and give you all the informations you need about all the Nightwish background and the member's sideprojects...
Your analysis and comments were totally on point and very interesting (it seems you even caught the "Floor ! Floor !" chanted by the crowd at the end :-)
New sub here for sure, can't wait for more !!
Great analysis to this most epic performance and welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal an Nightwish. Floor Jansen is the most versatile singer. She can sing anything. And yet her best asset as a singer is not her flawless techniques than her ability to use them as tools of conveying emotions. Greetings from Finland!
Most classical musicians know you have too be Really Really good to be a Metal artist. And Nightwish with Floor is out of this world so good 🤘❤️
Thank you sir...
I reacted to nightwish and im glad i did!!
another trained singer who had a FLOORGASAM!
The lyrics is indeed beautiful although I have NO IDEA what it's about 🥰
This song is epic, and Floor makes it even epicer 😍
Thank you for the reaction! NW is the best symphonic metal. They use backtrack of real orchestra and keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen is the musical genius behind their music. You probably could listen Poet and the pendulum , but find the subtitled one and it would be a good idea to research the lyrics of that masterpiece ( 5 parts) what it tells about. I am not recommending their more heavy stuff since that is not to your liking. Glad you appreciated the whole band also because it is the combination of them that makes NW magical ❤️
We're heeeeeeeerrreee :) you're in for a fun ride
Believe it or not, her performance at Wacken in 2013 is even more impressive.
Nice reaction!! As others have mentioned, this show was just after Floor was parachuted into the band partway through a tour (she had 48 hours to fly from Europe and learn the setlist!!), the live show at Wacken 2013 about 4-6 months later is the definitive version of this song. In fact, any song from that show is an absolute banger! Get ready for an influx of the Nightwish army, be aware they have had some difficult times in the past, especially when it came to parting ways with their original and second singer and it can be a bit of a hot topic of discussion when it comes to people's opinions about who is best (imho there is no best, people just have favourites and get a bit defensive about it).
You'll find many recommendations heading your way, a lot of them are shorter more punchy songs (Romantacide, Song of Myself, Yours is an Empty Hope where Floor does the death metal growl) and some borderline Celtic ballad (The Islander where Floor sings backing vocals!), right up to their opus tracks, Poet and the Pendulum and Greatest Show on Earth.
You mentioned Phantom - certainly look that one up as it's with there original singer (and look up the Pink Floyd cover "High Hopes" from that same show as it highlights the bassist Marko's singing) but Floor has done a version as well for the a TV show recently so hopefully she they might bring it back into their main setlist.
Have fun diving head first down the Nightwish rabbit hole!!!
Loved your reaction. Wacken 2013 was her best performance of this and she just keeps getting better, if that is possible. In terms of reacting to Floor anything she sings won't disappoint. Winner, Villa Lied and Phantom of the Opera on Beste Zangers or Seven Days to The Wolves, Ghost River and Yours Is An Empty Hope for Nightwish are just some of their great songs 😀👍
there is an even better live performance video of this song
This recording took place two months after Floor joined Nightwish. The best recording of this song was in 2013 live.
Thanks for a great reaction!
Yes her beste zangers songs are great she has several genres covered there another thing is nightwish covers many genres sometimes within a single song. Poet and the pendulum is one such song greatest show on earth is another. Nightwish will keep you bust and surprised the emotional quality Floor sings with will bring goosebumps known as floorgasims have fun
Thank you kindly for your fantastic reaction! :).
As mentioned by others, Floor had operatic training, namely musical theatre and classical (3 years in total), but before she did that, she also attended the Rock Academy for 3 years. She has been a vocal coach too, until professional singing did not leave her enough time anymore. Floor also played guitar, flute and piano., but I have no idea whether she still does.
She is a self-confessed vocal tech-nerd, in that she knows exactly how to treat her voice correctly for essentially any style and any type of music, and any type of emotion to be expressed. She is a soprano, and easily reaches anything from A3 to D6, can do growls, belt, and sing "normally" obviously :). As a committed perfectionist she practices this until it appears to be easy and simple. I think this is why she fits so well with the band, as they all are perfectionists, and Tuomas is probably the uber-perfectionist :).
And Tuomas doesn't just write songs, to be very honest, he is a composer, he writes symphonies.

Considering you are interested in Floor's operatic abilities, you could possibly react to Floor Jansen's performances in Beste Zangers 2019 (TV show from The Netherlands). Here is a playlist made by Floor herself (start listening to it in reverse order):
ruclips.net/p/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo
For some more background info you could try here as well (English subs, intros, and comments afterwards):
ruclips.net/user/jenniezelfvideos
You could also search dailymotion for "Beste Zangers 2019", or AVROTROS Beste Zangers 2019 for the originals, without intros etc.
This does include the Phantom of the Opera duet with Henk Poort (Andrew Lloyd Webber's favourite phantom of the opera), but also "Vilja Lied" (that's from "Die lustige Witwe", the Merry Widow). While you're at it, you might just as well check all the songs she performed in the show series, just to get an idea of the different styles she used. Essentially, there appears to be nothing she cannot do :).
Anyway, thank you again for your reaction, and enjoy!
Kind regards, Wim
Nightwish - Song Of Myself live in Wacken 2013 as well as Storytime from the same concert. 🤘🇨🇦
As soon Floor picks up the mic ppl get exited and that's totally ok...she's a goddess after all!
This was right after she joined Nightwish...like literally 2 months after she was asked to fill in to finish the tour. She had 48 hours and one rehearsal to learn the 15 song set. From The Netherlands to the US. She wasn’t even announced as the official singer until October 2013.
You have only just begun...to live. Nightwish rules.
The best band in the world today!
You have just discovered the tip of a gigantic iceberg of talent named Floor Jansen.
Yes, she has classical training, she sings opera, metal, pop, ballad, or whatever song you put in front of her, and she will nail it and make it epic. This is her style. This lady is The Powerhouse Goddess Valkyrie. All hail to the Queen.
the band exists since 1996. floor joined just eight month before this concert. the genre is called "symphonic metal". thank you for your fine and informative reaction.
Lovely reaction, I really enjoyed your insight in techniques, I look forward to seeing more Nightwish reactions.
Perhaps: Nightwish - How´s the heart . Acoustic (Planet Rock). This was on 10.04.20 . A very beautiful song.
“Shoemaker”! Floor shows off her classical training SO well in that song!
That crowd is totally bad ass though They have to love playing there
Thank you!
Welcome to Nightwish!
This performance at this venue along with Wacken of the same year I believe are one of the most powerful vocal and band performances perhaps of all time. Definitely one for the books
Oh, it is the Buenos Aires Version. Well i like that, too, so lets go.
This is just a beginning with Nightwish and Floor. Enjoy the journey!!
She was classically trained. She can sing absolutely any style.
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘😁✌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My all time favorite band!!!! Greetings from Northern California!!!!!!
Floor is proof positive of higher beings!! Nightwish Army reeeeee porting for duty!!
Take a look at the 2013 live performance in Wacken. It's still a bit better than this one 😉
I was disappointed with this version compared to the Wacken show.
Why we should listen wacken version every time? Did she forget how to sing after that show?
@@mapip4119 No, she just was more "on-point" at that concert. This one is abit off compared to the Wacken-performance...!
@@Heldal86 this was before the wacken in 2013 so she was just a fieuw moments on bord whit the band.. so she did a hell off a job.. and yes wacken is a little better but this one is also incredeble
@@rilenevanderzon7929 Yup, this kinda gives a better perspective of the performance. It's always nice to see her nail it, but this definitely isn't bad in any way.
This is a good performance. Wacken 2013 is an EPIC performance; it's perfect in every way.
Watched many reactions to Nightwish and I must say I enjoyed yours the most .
There is a lot more for you to enjoy with Nightwish
Wow! Thank you very much. That means a lot. Looking forward to it.
Symphonic Metal is what this is , Nightwish is best live & you should explore the Wacken open air 2013 show they were the headliner with 82,000 fans , Every song was fantastic but I suggest you start whit Storytime. The Nightwish Army will be coming to hear more of the band we all love also if you want you want phantom of the opera go to Beste Zangers Floor Jansen & Henk Poort 2019 she will blow you away on this
Thanks Singer Dad! I like your calm an easy way to explain what happens there.
Great reaction and your instincts are strong!!! She has much more to give... You are in for quite a journey - enjoy!
Great reaction, looking forward to more!
She IS the siren... her phantom of the opera will blow you away
Floor's not only classically trained, she was a vocal teacher as well. The Buenos Aires performance was great, but to me the best performance of this song is the 2013 Wacken show. By then she had been in the band about a year and was much more comfortable with the songs. In fact, that whole concert is a flawless masterpiece.
welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish!
Great reaction welcome to the world of symphonic metal. You were correct on Floor Jansen, she is classically trained, she studied opera for one year and musical theatre for one year. Also Floor is a vocal coach. She's exceptionally gifted and talented
Taking a moment to let you know that you earned my subscription. Not because I like this song and you like this song, but because you rightfully discovered the intricacies of this song as it unfolded. Every point of your analysis was spot on for the moment. Congrats on being part of the minority of RUclipsrs that demonstrably know their shit. Thanks for your efforts, and for doing what you do.
Thank you Dean. I appreciate it. That means a lot. I will continue to improve my reactions and make them more entertaining, educational and impactful.
A Siren of the Sea is a Greek mythological being, I think half bird and half woman, who's song was so beautiful and enamoring that sailors would be lured to their destruction. The sailors would almost be hypnotized to the point where the song's lure would lead them to jumping ship, into the waters, certainly to their deaths. Floor really is the Valkyrie Queen and this band's complexity is that of genius.
Thanks for your thoughtful and calm positive reaction,. nice with a rest from over the top reactors ! :) I think Floor would be thrilled that you compare her to the singer of Heart!
I agree with another commenter that you should do a reaction to Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013, Floor really fully performed the song in her way in that concert. And I also agree on reacting to Epica - Sancta Terra, has to be the retrospect version though. ;)
Nightwish - the greatest show on eart live tampere
