Hello Jen, Floor basically started as a background singer in After Forever (97 - 09) when she was 15 years old, but quickly became the leadsinger. After Forever and Nightwish was on tour together in 2002 - and that's is where the Nightwish guys learned about Floor and vice versa - but I believe that Marko already knew her from Ayreon, whom they both worked with. Floor founded ReVamp (09 - 16) which she still had when she replaced Anette in 12. ReVamp were finally closed down in 16. And she had her work with Bjorn Viggo Lofstad in Northward that started in 2008 and they finished in 2018 (really cool hard rock album, Northward) - plus her ongoing work with Ayreon, the Cristmas tour with Marko, and her own upcoming album. Busy lady - while she also has some side projects being a mother, wife and running a farm, TV, solo shows and all her charity work. She is truly a powerful enegy bomb 🤘
Great job ladies! I'll be hoisting my can of beer in sync with your glasses. Here's a little note I'd like to make regarding this scene in the Amaranth video where the solemn young lads are carrying the wounded angel: That scene comes from an oil painting Haavoittunut Enkeli (A Wounded Angel) by Finnish symbolist painter and graphicist Hugo Simberg (1873-1917) in 1903. fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavoittunut_enkeli . Simberg painted the work after recovering from a severe illness, and he didn't give the painting any name himself (except for plain " - " in the Ateneum exhibition cataloque). He was intensely interested in the psychological impact of a work of art to the mental state of the watcher/receiver, and did his best to eschew from tampering with it via presumptions of any kind. Much love from Finland.

Cool to see this. I introduced my dad a couple of months ago through the endless forms album, he has been on the journey we all go in once it hooks. We are hoping to see them next year now! I saw them at Wembley (the filmed show) in 2015 and it was amazing
Floor never auditioned for NW. She was asked to temporarily fill in for Annette to finish out the tour. The band already knew of Floor from her performances with After Forever and Re-Vamp so when they found out she was taking a break they asked her to come on as a temp until end of the tour. By the end of the tour there was no question they knew Floor was the one. Floor's good friend, Elize Ryd, one of the three Amaranthe singers, auditioned for NW, but they decided to go with Annette. Ironically, Elize was one of the two female vocalists that filled in for Annette in Denver when Annette didn't come on.
Most powerful? The Greatest Show On Earth (hands-down their masterpiece), but also The Poet And The Pendulum and Dead Boy's Poem (the tearjerkers), not to mention Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red (more Marco than Floor, and not technically a "Nightwish song", but one of Tuomas' most beautiful songs). And don't forget (for powerful head-bangers) Romanticide, Slaying The Dreamer, and Yours Is An Empty Hope.
Hi Jen , loved the video, would've really preferred to have been live with you ladies but I couldn't make it sadly. What a great idea to bring Larissa (sp?) to join the Family. I don't know what it is but I've heard GLS from Wacken a million times and always tear up on that high note at the end. I know Patreon people rightly get to request songs but I'd absolutely love it if you could play Larissa the enchantingly beautiful 'Dead Boy's Poem' live from Buenos Aires! X
She loves NW now! And it’s not true about only Patreons getting requested vids! I do lives all of the time. Some free, some PayPal, some super chat!!! It’s a blast!!!
@@JustJenRx No worries.. We live, we learn. You have a Nightwish in your heart. I know (and it shows) that you wanted to tell your friend everything about NW in 5 minutes... But as you n I know it take a looot more time than that. When people ask me why NW? I dont even start answering.. Maybe shortest way is this.. They hav had three different singers and they are still around (bigger than ever) Name one other band who has done that? Singer change is a very dangerous thing... But they have survived every time, why, Because the Songs... They are in front of the band not the lead singer..... well maybe now it's a tie ;)
Her outfit raffle was during Floor solo-tour. at the concert i was at the outfit she donated was the first outfit she wore at Wacken (the coolest outfit as far as i am concerned).
If you want to see the best Anette song, look up Scaretale ruclips.net/video/5EmpS8E7d30/видео.html and a weird live performance where Anette was somehow not bad at an awards show: ruclips.net/video/wWxXMaJEzdY/видео.html - Anette isn't bad in her element. However, during the last few years she was in Nightwish, she had multiple health problems, was in a custody battle and more. In short, her life was crap and the band members really didn't get it. They live for the music and little else. This is great for fans. Not so much for band members deviating from that course. Anette is the singer for The Dark Element now. This is a video of her ruclips.net/video/ZKd6GfzpvdY/видео.html and this is a live version recorded by someone with a phone ruclips.net/video/GH7f8wejjz4/видео.html
GOOD LORD!!! Never heard of Nightwish??? Administer the video immediately! Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Great reaction ladies! I first discovered NW right before the first album was released. They had a couple free samples on mp3 dot com. Finally got to see them live in Albany, NY two years ago. Most amazing performance I've ever experienced from the best band, of any genre, I've ever heard! I will see them again someday. Hang on! It's a wild ride!
@@JustJenRx I plan on it! I live far upstate in Plattsburgh, but this is one band I'd travel 1000 miles to see again! When I saw them in Albany, there were a few folks sitting next to me that just saw them a couple days earlier in the city, and drove up to see them again. The performance was PERFECT. Not one mistake that I could detect during a show almost 2 hours long.
@@77bubba00 I did a lot of stop and go’s, but I wanted to show her who was who, and give backstories. Also, it calmed her nerves a bit. I remember my first time on YT with sonny! I was so nervous. So I did what best friends do, I keep her mind off of the 300+ ppl in attendance!!! Next Sunday, make sure you tune in around 2pm!!!! I won’t be stopping and talking as much! She know knows who NW is, so she gets to enjoy the best ones yet!!!! And I cannot wait to see them live next year! I am going to need to save up for permanent makeup! I will cry it all off!!
Lol, finding this a bit revealing about how us Taurus's are...there is a strange duality...and just... we're very calm, but also excited to go on to something else. And SVC!!!! Coming in lol!!! Love you guys haha that was awesome!!! 😁😁😁👍👍👍
Sonata Arctica has their own lager which Tony drinks in his sauna. I forget which other Finnish band has their own beer. Nightwish wine sounds awesome.
Emppu is 5"1' (as far as I know) guitar magigian and also has black belt in judo (don't know which dan) and prhps those few minutes he's been playing guitar has also put a bit of punch in his muscles, and if thats not enought,.. Well one gets to deal with rest of the band Floor in front 😁
When introducing Nightwish to friends I always play my favourite songs/their best performances and let them play through. I kinda cringed when you stopped the song and said ‘you get the gist’ and switched it to floors version. It’s cool to compare them as you did respectfully but I think when introducing a band to someone it should be about the music altogether and not about the different singers 🤷🏼♀️ I mean it’s your channel so you do what you like but for your friends sake it would be better to hear everything as a whole
I agree, too much stop/go, flipping back and forth. And for a first intro, why bother with Annette? Should have just put on the Wacken Concert and sat back and let her enjoy it. Too much talking so she missed much of the performance.
@@yourwinefamily1939 yeah or other good songs from Wembley/Tampere/Buenos Aires. I doesn’t matter who sings them but just play the best ones and let her enjoy it right through
I was on a time crunch. I had one hour to do this. Sonny had his twitch stream to do at 3pm. Maybe I just should have picked less songs. Believe me, she will be back!!! And next time, we are taking our time!!! It sucks to have one streaming place to share with the hubs. But it’s what we got to work with! So I have to share!!!
@@yourwinefamily1939 she’s coming back next Sunday!!! I just wanted to show her the difference. Tarja would’ve been in here too, if I wouldn’t have gotten blocked immediately!!! We will be enjoying NW, Sunday around the same time. And the reason why I stopped so much and talked a lot was to calm her nerves. It’s not easy to jump into a live stream with over 300 on at once, for your first ride!! I think she did a great job, and I look forward to showing her more NW! Like the Poet, and Dead boys poem! We need waterproof makeup for that as well!! Stay safe 🤗
Oh dear, it's been a bit painful (hearing and seeing Tarja and Anette - as you said it: yikes!), somehow i never got into Nightwish during Tarja era, although i listened them occasionally, during Anette's era i just couldn't listen them at all, but since Floor... Finally the band has a great singer on all fronts. She just fits perfectly with the band. She is so plausible unlike the other two. And they all are now so happy and relaxed, comfortable with each other and it really shows. ( I originate from North Karelia, Finland, the same territory where the band originates from. if that has any bearing on it).
4:28 "they were best friends, and, he was suicidal about it". Just Jen 2020 :) Lol, two notes into Poet and recognized. "Not Poet, I just did my makeup" - rofl. While I prefer Poet and Greatest for other reasons, Ghost is like goosebumps on cue and the perfect introduction.
Hope your friend liked them. I usually start newbies out with Ghost Love Score then move on. It allows them to get a feel for Floor and the band. I was born on May 11 so we're close, I'd imagine I'm older than you though.
1h 12m? So long, I'll just take a peak. 1h 12 mins later - that was quite entertaining, thanks ladies. Reminder: Bring tissues for the Poet & The Pendulum.
I'm curious about this court battle Tarja won that prevents people viewing her with Nightwish on YT. I couldn't find anything on the internet. Can someone explain?
Her hubby filed a defamation lawsuit against the NW book. Google it. The case was dismissed, and from that point on, he’s had a hard-on for NW ever since. She did speak on it, just a little bit, in an interview. But really didn’t want to say too much.
@@JustJenRx to quote Marko about a different situation "you reap what you sow". Tarja's hubby just needs to grow up and take responsibility for his part in the whole situation and move the hell on.
@@NeeceLoneWolf yesssssss!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 he’s mad bc he lost that defamation suit, and he lost fairly!!! He is just showing his true colors as a narcissist!!! He is fighting the dismissal too! It’s like give it a rest, you lost, dude!!!
@@dac2007 I would have thought that the copyright belonged to Nightwish? Does that mean that Annette can block Bye Bye Beautiful? I'd like to see what she actually petitioned against.
When it comes to Slow Love Slow for me ots Anette hands down. Floor sings it really well, but for me there is just something about Anette on that one that just can't be topped.
@@JustJenRx Agreed! In that one song I actually think her voice suits it better than Floor's, I always ask reactors to do that one with Annette. Nothing wrong with that, it's not anything against The Queen, she already stole the rest of Imaginaerum lol
@@JustJenRx if floor record slow love slow in the studio is it 1,000 times better than anette and i saw it live in groningen and that was much better than anette
She’ll be back next Sunday! Same time, only this time she’ll get to enjoy the whole songs! I seriously thought I only had that one hour!! I totally should’ve picked 2 songs each! I’m only human!!! I’m just Jen!!!
not trying to throw shade, but i will, even on her best day Annett could not out sing floor, just my opinion but the best show of Floors' vocal range and command of stage is Ghost Love Score live at wacken
jen nightwish diplomat in usa :) always great idea to introduce this awesome band to best friend if she or he not know yet :) thanx and have great new week there. ps. wine always ok coz tuomas drink also that glorious drink :)
This is how Ghost Love Score did sound live by Anette at Graspop in 2009 ruclips.net/video/kZqVjlTo3_E/видео.html Realize Anette Olzon was at that time already for more than two years full member of NW (since may 2007, till that time, Olzon was a singer in an ABBA cover band). Compare this to Floor's performance at Wacken 2013 (she wasn't even a full member of NW after less than one year) Floor has to learn the set-list within 48 hrs and she did. ruclips.net/video/vhExkmWKMEU/видео.html For me one of Anette's best Live performances was at Gampel Open Air in 2008 (Switzerland) ruclips.net/video/fZ2O7IDTFnQ/видео.html Setlist: 1. Bye Bye Beautiful / 2. Dark Chest of Wonders / 3. The Siren / 4. Amaranth / 5. Whoever Brings the Night / 6. The Poet and the Pendulum / 7. Ever Dream / 8. Sahara / 9. Nemo / 10. 7 Days to the Wolves / 11. Wish I Had an Angel.
Nice reaction girls! I have something i need to admit: Floor is the only woman on earth that i would even consider divorcing my wife for. And i'm not even kidding. And.. my wife knows. She doesn't like Floor :)
Anette even though she is on shaky ground with NW, promotes the 2 albums she recorded with them. Everytime Bye Bye Beautiful surpasses views on RUclips, Anette is posting about it.
So sad that I missed this Jen. Partying with you and the fam looks like so much fun. Keep rockin' girl 🤗 Edit: I just got done watching this and yes, yes yes to bringing Lacy back. I hope you can get upgrades to the NYC concert so I can meet you guys and personally congratulate Sonny for finding you. Much love little sister.
@@donaldcampbell9483 Wow. You must be one of those Floor fanatics. Try to think this another way around. What if Floor was their first singer and Tarja was third, and people would be constantly bashing Floor, and giving this kind of stupid comments. Then again, if you are new fan, what gives you right to "hijack" Nightwish for yourself? We have been here years, even decades before you, and lived all of their journey with them. And Tarja was *HUGE* part of that. I love Floor, but some of her fans should go to hell.
Would be interesting to know about this legal battle...as far as I know Tuomas owns the right to Nightwish songs, he is the composer...so this would mean you can't watch anything from End Of An Era concert...when was this in court and where?
Okay, comparing Annette's studio performances to Floor's live performances just doesn't make any sense lol. You need to compare apples to apples. If you're doing Floor live then you have to do Annette live for the comparison to be fair and logical. This vid was fun to watch, though.
Why not also react to the group Amaranthe ? 82nd All The Way or Viral could be a good place to start in their newer material. Elize Ryd did audition for Nightwish but she was very young at the time and NW chose Anette instead. Amaranthe plays their own uniqe style of metal, worth listenening to if you havent heard them.
Great video overall...sort of. However, I think I’m gonna rip my face off if I have to watch another reaction video with so many pauses and talking...🤦🏼♂️.
@@JustJenRx Tuomos's arrangements enable Floor's versatility to showcase her talent. There is a show, Beste Zangers I think it is called, where she performs with Hank Port where they do Phantom of the Opera together. Very nice piece! ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html
I love sleeping sun with all three of the ladies, but i will always love the Tarla version most because my wife walked down the aisle to it at our wedding coming up on ten years ago.
Normally you are a symphony, today you were a garage band.......... 2 best friends plus wine=a party, 2 best friends plus wine plus a music reaction=not such a good music reaction, but still a party. ........but also hard to hear the music above the party.......... Lacey is a delight and hope you have her on again. but may I suggest you do what you normally do.....pause the video to make an observation.......I'm sure it was the wine talking but there was a point where you two were having an off topic discussion and think you forget the rest of us were here too....lotta historical mistakes too as discussed below by other posters ......again on the whole it was entertaining, but not your best work.
Great idea of a show, taking a friend over a nightwish ride, just... poorly executed. My feedback would be to let the guest experience the material as fresh as possible, avoid leading questions and comments, speak on specifics of the moment troughout the performance and wait till the end for your complete opinion and emotions. This goes in hand with avoiding unecessary pausing by being selective on what you comment. Focus on things that will provide aditional information or context instead of opinions. This will allow your guest to have a more unbiased experience. Remember to trust the music, it really does speak for itself. Will gladly watch another try though...
Amaranth is Anette. Anette was 35 I think she said when they recorded Dark Passion Play. thechosenone665 is Anette's IG. Her abs are insane. Seriously Jen The Dark Element to see Melodic Metal Goddess Anette has evolved into.
Nice to see you bringing your friends into the world of Nightwish. But please get a tech-support! You're not only terrorising us with Annette 🤮, but there is to many technical hic ups. Please never bring back Annette to your show again. And finally the issue with Tarja just makes me made. She can burn in h... Erase both Tarja and Annette from Nightwish history and the world would be a better place. 😉 Nuff nagging now! Keep up your show and keep bringing the smiles to us all!😊

Hello Jen, Floor basically started as a background singer in After Forever (97 - 09) when she was 15 years old, but quickly became the leadsinger. After Forever and Nightwish was on tour together in 2002 - and that's is where the Nightwish guys learned about Floor and vice versa - but I believe that Marko already knew her from Ayreon, whom they both worked with. Floor founded ReVamp (09 - 16) which she still had when she replaced Anette in 12. ReVamp were finally closed down in 16. And she had her work with Bjorn Viggo Lofstad in Northward that started in 2008 and they finished in 2018 (really cool hard rock album, Northward) - plus her ongoing work with Ayreon, the Cristmas tour with Marko, and her own upcoming album.
Busy lady - while she also has some side projects being a mother, wife and running a farm, TV, solo shows and all her charity work.
She is truly a powerful enegy bomb 🤘
Floor Jansen was the best thing that could happen to Nightwish.Plain n simple.
💯
@@JustJenRx Amaranth is not one of the best songs imho :) It's one of the most mainstream sounding, or radio-friendly.
Ooooo good one!!!
What’s your favorite nw song?
And vice versa my friend... And the best thing that could happen to us...
Big love from Spain
Anette has Amaranth, Tarja has Sleeping sun, rest is Floor's...
Great job ladies! I'll be hoisting my can of beer in sync with your glasses.
Here's a little note I'd like to make regarding this scene in the Amaranth video where the solemn young lads are carrying the wounded angel: That scene comes from an oil painting Haavoittunut Enkeli (A Wounded Angel) by Finnish symbolist painter and graphicist Hugo Simberg (1873-1917) in 1903. fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavoittunut_enkeli .

Damn! I’m smaller than Emppu! I’m 5’1”
Wait! 5’1 3/4” and I claim that extra 3/4” like it’s no one’s business 😆
Oh dear, it's been a bit painful (hearing and seeing Tarja and Anette - as you said it: yikes!), somehow i never got into Nightwish during Tarja era, although i listened them occasionally, during Anette's era i just couldn't listen them at all, but since Floor... Finally the band has a great singer on all fronts. She just fits perfectly with the band. She is so plausible unlike the other two. And they all are now so happy and relaxed, comfortable with each other and it really shows. ( I originate from North Karelia, Finland, the same territory where the band originates from. if that has any bearing on it).
So cool! You don’t know what we wouldn’t give to live there with you!!!
You should have done the Live from Montreaux jazz festival version of Slow Love Slow with Anette. She kills it on that one.
Nice! I’ll check it out!!! Thanks!
Nice reaction
Nice presenting Nightwish and Floor to friend
Nice shoulders
Nice Hello Kitty tattoo
Nice necklace
Nice..."Jen's"
Awww thanks 🙏
4:28 "they were best friends, and, he was suicidal about it". Just Jen 2020 :)
Lol, two notes into Poet and recognized. "Not Poet, I just did my makeup" - rofl.
While I prefer Poet and Greatest for other reasons, Ghost is like goosebumps on cue and the perfect introduction.
NW fan for life!!! 💯
Hope your friend liked them. I usually start newbies out with Ghost Love Score then move on. It allows them to get a feel for Floor and the band.
I was born on May 11 so we're close, I'd imagine I'm older than you though.
1h 12m? So long, I'll just take a peak. 1h 12 mins later - that was quite entertaining, thanks ladies. Reminder: Bring tissues for the Poet & The Pendulum.
Lol thanks bro!
I'm curious about this court battle Tarja won that prevents people viewing her with Nightwish on YT. I couldn't find anything on the internet. Can someone explain?
Her hubby filed a defamation lawsuit against the NW book. Google it. The case was dismissed, and from that point on, he’s had a hard-on for NW ever since. She did speak on it, just a little bit, in an interview. But really didn’t want to say too much.
@@JustJenRx to quote Marko about a different situation "you reap what you sow". Tarja's hubby just needs to grow up and take responsibility for his part in the whole situation and move the hell on.
@@NeeceLoneWolf yesssssss!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 he’s mad bc he lost that defamation suit, and he lost fairly!!! He is just showing his true colors as a narcissist!!! He is fighting the dismissal too! It’s like give it a rest, you lost, dude!!!
How? End of an Era songs are reacted all the time
@@dac2007 I would have thought that the copyright belonged to Nightwish? Does that mean that Annette can block Bye Bye Beautiful? I'd like to see what she actually petitioned against.
When it comes to Slow Love Slow for me ots Anette hands down. Floor sings it really well, but for me there is just something about Anette on that one that just can't be topped.
I agree!
Annette has never sung better than Floor sorry !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She did slow love slow amazingly, studio work. She did have some really good songs! Is she a better singer than Floor? HELL NO!!!
@@JustJenRx Agreed! In that one song I actually think her voice suits it better than Floor's, I always ask reactors to do that one with Annette. Nothing wrong with that, it's not anything against The Queen, she already stole the rest of Imaginaerum lol
@@JustJenRx if floor record slow love slow in the studio is it 1,000 times better than anette and i saw it live in groningen and that was much better than anette
@@eddiecreutzburg7375 i hear you know who sings the best of the universe
Have you seen any of the videos of Floor doing Slow Love Slow at her Solo Concerts?
Hi Jen and Larissa nice to meet other May 10th Taurus my year is 1953 , Floor , Valkyrie Goddess of Metal .
That’s our bday too!!! May 10th!!! 1980 tho!!! Whoohoo!!! We all rock!!!
Glad you joined Jenn Larissa! See you next time!
She’ll be back next Sunday! Same time, only this time she’ll get to enjoy the whole songs! I seriously thought I only had that one hour!! I totally should’ve picked 2 songs each! I’m only human!!! I’m just Jen!!!
We are all only human. You 2 got too hang and listen to some music is the main thing
not trying to throw shade, but i will, even on her best day Annett could not out sing floor, just my opinion but the best show of Floors' vocal range and command of stage is Ghost Love Score live at wacken
I couldn’t have said it better myself!!!! 👏 👏 👏
jen nightwish diplomat in usa :) always great idea to introduce this awesome band to best friend if she or he not know yet :) thanx and have great new week there. ps. wine always ok coz tuomas drink also that glorious drink :)
only 82000 of us were there
This is how Ghost Love Score did sound live by Anette at Graspop in 2009 ruclips.net/video/kZqVjlTo3_E/видео.html Realize Anette Olzon was at that time already for more than two years full member of NW (since may 2007, till that time, Olzon was a singer in an ABBA cover band). Compare this to Floor's performance at Wacken 2013 (she wasn't even a full member of NW after less than one year) Floor has to learn the set-list within 48 hrs and she did. ruclips.net/video/vhExkmWKMEU/видео.html
For me one of Anette's best Live performances was at Gampel Open Air in 2008 (Switzerland) ruclips.net/video/fZ2O7IDTFnQ/видео.html Setlist: 1. Bye Bye Beautiful / 2. Dark Chest of Wonders / 3. The Siren / 4. Amaranth / 5. Whoever Brings the Night / 6. The Poet and the Pendulum / 7. Ever Dream / 8. Sahara / 9. Nemo / 10. 7 Days to the Wolves / 11. Wish I Had an Angel.
I will be showing larissa these NW songs on Sunday. Floor’s versions. She is really excited to see more floor!!!
Love the Girls night out 🍸. Bring Back your friend 😁
Sure will!!!
You should invite her to join you when you finally watch the Imaginaerum movie.
Ooooh that would be great!!!
Nice reaction girls!
I have something i need to admit: Floor is the only woman on earth that i would even consider divorcing my wife for. And i'm not even kidding. And.. my wife knows. She doesn't like Floor :)
Lolololol that’s awesome! If she was a lesbian, I’d turn into one for her!!!
2013 ghost love score.
Jen
You and your best friend can make any comments or chat with Floor on her RUclips channel: Floor Jansen
Plus, original singer, Tarja went back to singing Opera.
Floor is the best . Tarja is the original but if your gonna show Annette you show Meadows of heaven the studio version.
Anette even though she is on shaky ground with NW, promotes the 2 albums she recorded with them. Everytime Bye Bye Beautiful surpasses views on RUclips, Anette is posting about it.
So sad that I missed this Jen. Partying with you and the fam looks like so much fun. Keep rockin' girl 🤗 Edit: I just got done watching this and yes, yes yes to bringing Lacy back. I hope you can get upgrades to the NYC concert so I can meet you guys and personally congratulate Sonny for finding you. Much love little sister.
Awww you’re too kind!!! Thank you so so much! She is really excited to come back! She even said she won’t be as nervous and I’m so not drinking!!!
If you watch Last Ride Rock in Rio, Tony is 5'8, Floor towers over him lol.
Anyone care to explain this thing, that Tarja songs are going to get blocked? I really hope that is not true.
She won a court settlement. All that music with her in it, all her copyrights. Blocked immediately.
Not missing anything lol
@@donaldcampbell9483 Wow. You must be one of those Floor fanatics. Try to think this another way around. What if Floor was their first singer and Tarja was third, and people would be constantly bashing Floor, and giving this kind of stupid comments. Then again, if you are new fan, what gives you right to "hijack" Nightwish for yourself? We have been here years, even decades before you, and lived all of their journey with them. And Tarja was *HUGE* part of that. I love Floor, but some of her fans should go to hell.
@@JustJenRx As an old fan since 1998, I'm very sad if this is going to be the case.
Would be interesting to know about this legal battle...as far as I know Tuomas owns the right to Nightwish songs, he is the composer...so this would mean you can't watch anything from End Of An Era concert...when was this in court and where?
One more good soul lost inn Nightwish good army
Nightwish singer: 1.Tarja Turunen,-2006/Finnland/ 2. Anette Olsen. 2006-2011/Sweden/3. Floor Jansen. /Netherland Duts/ Floor 2012-Nightwish army:)))
FOREVER FLOOR!!!!
FLOOR control your soul
Ghost love score was the last song in 2018 Phoenix Az
Ive enjoyed the both of You...💜💜👍....to be continue 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💥🙋♂️💎🎶🙏🏼
This Sunday again my friend!!! Stay tuned!!!
Just watched imaginarium again the other day. Such a good movie
I can’t wait to watch it!!!!
The first one is Anette lol.
This was great. Your neighbor from Elyria OH.
Yay! Go bucks!
Anet couldn't carry water for floor on this or any song.
You need to feature Marco now. Watch Nightwish - The Islander, live at Tampere..
Oooooh that’s a great one!!!
Okay, comparing Annette's studio performances to Floor's live performances just doesn't make any sense lol. You need to compare apples to apples. If you're doing Floor live then you have to do Annette live for the comparison to be fair and logical. This vid was fun to watch, though.
Next time show her Phantom from Beste Zangers and O Mio Babbino Caro, just to blow her mind. She won't have a chance about not being a Floor fan.
She already is! She was just nervous! But I’ll show her POTO on Sunday!!!
Why not also react to the group Amaranthe ? 82nd All The Way or Viral could be a good place to start in their newer material.
Elize Ryd did audition for Nightwish but she was very young at the time and NW chose Anette instead.
Amaranthe plays their own uniqe style of metal, worth listenening to if you havent heard them.
I’ll be getting to them too! Thanks 😊
Floor have Floor control
dat pokerface xD
Great video overall...sort of. However, I think I’m gonna rip my face off if I have to watch another reaction video with so many pauses and talking...🤦🏼♂️.
Yes it was a shit show, but we had a blast!
Floor ftw. My one and only celebrity crush.
❤️
Seldom in music does a new singer transform a band as Floor has done.
Right?!
@@JustJenRx Tuomos's arrangements enable Floor's versatility to showcase her talent. There is a show, Beste Zangers I think it is called, where she performs with Hank Port where they do Phantom of the Opera together. Very nice piece!
ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html
@@JustMe-er9ve omg yes that one is EPIC!!! I just had that on my live the other day!!! Amazing!!!
@@JustJenRx Great, did you watch Hank Poort do Sound of Silence on same show?
@@JustMe-er9ve I love hank Port he’s my favorite phantom!!!!
Get Jen getting married again.
They cut me, I WILL bleed forever.
🤗
Larissa.....Your first Florgsm, congrats.
She will have a real Floorgasm next week when she gets to enjoy some Wacken classics!!!
Floor is the one
Hey there girls, I love your hair colour Jen, wauw so beautiful 😍😍
Aww ty love!
I love sleeping sun with all three of the ladies, but i will always love the Tarla version most because my wife walked down the aisle to it at our wedding coming up on ten years ago.
Omg!!! Awesome!!!
Vino? Nah, try mead.
Ahhhhh the drink of the Gods!!! Mmmhmm I love me some Mead!!!
Normally you are a symphony, today you were a garage band.......... 2 best friends plus wine=a party, 2 best friends plus wine plus a music reaction=not such a good music reaction, but still a party. ........but also hard to hear the music above the party.......... Lacey is a delight and hope you have her on again. but may I suggest you do what you normally do.....pause the video to make an observation.......I'm sure it was the wine talking but there was a point where you two were having an off topic discussion and think you forget the rest of us were here too....lotta historical mistakes too as discussed below by other posters ......again on the whole it was entertaining, but not your best work.
Yeah it sucked. Plain and simple. But without mistakes we cannot learn!!! Thanks for your honesty!!! 💕 Jen
@@JustJenRx Jen we love you and we would'n't bitch if we didn't care. We'll all be back....so will you be.
no no no , shes 10' 7"
Lol
GHOST ALSO FINLAND
I think Nightwish does not click with your friend.
Not like you at least. :)
Not yet! She was a bundle of nerves yesterday!!! She told me her google mini has been blasting NW all morning!!!
You look great with red hair Jen!
Thanks Carl!!!
@@JustJenRx You're welcome! 😉
when you not see fireworks it is usa
Well this was fun! Had to wait until after work so I could have a drink with the ladies ❤🤘🤘
I look this 07.11.20 Baby Trump lost and i drink Whiskey
Hii Amaranth was my first NW song ❤️
Churros the one!
No disrespect to Annette, but I couldn't help thinking she looked a bit like 'Chucky' in this video!
I seen it too 😬
fun live
Too much pausing and too much talking and not even paying attention. She couldn't get the full experience and effect like that.
Great idea of a show, taking a friend over a nightwish ride, just... poorly executed. My feedback would be to let the guest experience the material as fresh as possible, avoid leading questions and comments, speak on specifics of the moment troughout the performance and wait till the end for your complete opinion and emotions. This goes in hand with avoiding unecessary pausing by being selective on what you comment. Focus on things that will provide aditional information or context instead of opinions. This will allow your guest to have a more unbiased experience. Remember to trust the music, it really does speak for itself. Will gladly watch another try though...
Thank you for your input! I actually value it, and learn from it!!!
It's not tarja
Amaranth is Anette. Anette was 35 I think she said when they recorded Dark Passion Play. thechosenone665 is Anette's IG. Her abs are insane. Seriously Jen The Dark Element to see Melodic Metal Goddess Anette has evolved into.
I will get on that! And your video! I was locked out of my PayPal, until I provided my ID’s. Missed ya today!!
@@JustJenRx was adulting lol
Nice to see you bringing your friends into the world of Nightwish. But please get a tech-support! You're not only terrorising us with Annette 🤮, but there is to many technical hic ups. Please never bring back Annette to your show again. And finally the issue with Tarja just makes me made. She can burn in h... Erase both Tarja and Annette from Nightwish history and the world would be a better place. 😉
Nuff nagging now! Keep up your show and keep bringing the smiles to us all!😊
Nw army is come help you. Not trump byebye baby TRUMP
Welcome to the Annette bashing show
Thanks
Not at all. We were just comparing the two. I gave her the props she deserved.
I gave Annette MAJOR props during this steam. Several times in fact.
