- READ THIS FIRST: The only way I could post this video on RUclips at all was to remove the parts that were copyright striked... so if you're interested in listening to the song more than my comments.... you'll be highly disappointed....! I'm terribly sorry this had to be done this way but I really had no other choice! If you still want to see the full uncut version, I have uploaded it on my Google Drive so you guys can watch it from there!

![WHAT AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER !! FIRST TIME HEARING -- NIGHTWISH -- POET & THE PENDULUM [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/oFV5Y90rvJA/mqdefault.jpg)
I believe the way a singer should be judge is by their live performance, not by listening to the album. And floor chooses how to sing it and honestly the way she do it, makes you feel it
Her breath control is amazing and to belt those words .holy crap .So pure and clear .. She sounds way better than most opera singers . No manufacturered vibrato. Technicality along with her artistry is perfect that's why she makes the big bucks ...
I agree, I was like wtf. is she talking about.. it sounded great. I do not care if she sound like an opera singer. Especially not if it sounds as great as floor made it sound.
Okay this commenter obviously knows nothing about classical singing. You look like a dumbass
I mostly agree with you except for your comment regarding her having difficulty with the operatic in section 3(The Pacific), from my perspective she is not going for full operatic, but it is a stylistic choice that she is making. We know from other live performances and from Best Zangers that she is capable of doing operatic singing. I watch a lot of vocal coach reactions and most are very informational, but I think that as an occupational hazard, there's sometimes a tendency to over emphasize the standard techniques and forgetting a bit about the artistic choice(what fits the song, what the singer is trying to express).
!
exactly. that's what this reviewer does not understand apparently.. I doubt an opera singer would even be able to make it sound as amazing as floor does here.
Well, that's exactly what I said, that she didn't have to go for a fully operatic sound either.
I agree, and is not the first time, she tends to say it on almost every single NW video, very hard judging Floor's ability on her operatic style, I feel that she's constantly comparing Floor with Tarja, when their styles are totally different and shouldn't be compared
Allow me to repeat my words from today: I don't quite understand your (Elvann's) way of responding and react. You tell that you can hear that Floor is not a professional opera singer. And no, she is not. Then I think, why comment in such a way? Why comment on what she doesn't sound like and what she isn't? There are many things she doesn't sound like. So what is your purpose with this? It seems almost like you absolutely will find something negative about Floor. But that cannot be true?
Hi Elvann. Thank you so much for your honest comments about this wonderful song of Nightwish. I will watch the full uncut version tonight 😀 Let the reaction video's come Elvann and i wish you a very Happy New Year!!! Love from the Netherlands!
Thank to you for watching
Thanks so much for all the effort you put into trying to get a more complete version onto RUclips ... and for making the original so readily available to us.
You're welcome!
I think if we compare the vocals in section 3 with her rendition of 'Shallow' we can clearly hear that she is not struggling, she is including 'breathy' vocals as a choice to create an effect
I normally have to try not to cry with this song, now I'm trying not to cry for youtube blocking this. So sorry Elvann. Good to see you back though.
Awwnn :( yeahe, it's really ridiculous, I don't get why they've been so harsh on this one....
This song will always be my favorite song. I’m such an emotional person and know what it’s like to be at your lowest of lows.
Although it is hard for Tuomas to play, this is his masterpiece in songwriting and storytelling amongst all the other masterpieces he wrote. Floor does this song justice with her versatility in singing. It is a sad story, but even without knowing the lyrics, it shows you what he has gone through and gives some understanding to what other people with mental issues still have to deal with.
Every time when I hear this song, it leaves me speechless…..
Best live band! ❤
With Floor, nightwish is live close to perfection. Great musicians
OF COURSE I watched the uncut version on the drive
Watching your uncut version, and yeah, they still use the studio choir boy vocals for the opening of the song. I have heard that Floor had offered to actually sing those parts, but Tuomas declined.
ohh really? I wished it was her singing there, I feel it would tie things together, but maybe it's a musical artistic vision thing Tuomas had in mind and it does make sense in this case!
@@ElvannReacts Guy Elliot & Tom Willams are singin
Don't you soon have to completely accept that Tarja no longer sings in Nightwish and that they therefore have a completely different sound than the original very classic song style and that Floor is not primarily a classical singer? It doesn't really make sense to reaact to that she / Floor doesn't sing as classically as you might wish. In fact, it's almost as if you thought Britney Spears should sound a bit more classic or metal and that she didn't actually sound like a classic or metal singer. In fact, you could also criticize Tarja for not sounding so rock and metal-like. It doesn't make sense either. Britney is Britney. Floor is Floor. Tarja is Tarja. Take them as they are. And do not criticize them for what they are not.
PS: The phrases she sings where you might wish she sang with greater professional classical vocal conviction I'm pretty sure are pretty deliberate on her part. For now, the phrases and this part of the song emerge with a more pure and virginal approach that just fits in quite well with this place. Here, a traditional classical singer (in my ears) would give a completely different sound that does not fit the lyrics and mood of the music.
She’s not comparing Tarja though? She’s comparing her style with the style Floor used. Yes she said that it’s not like what she’s used to, but she still said that it was good for what it was. Diction is hard when you’re singing that high
@@mangalover0149 Maybe it's not a direct / explicit comparison between Floor and Tarja. But when I hear in this video Elvann talks about Floor's style and technique, I think it's clear that Elvann's entrance to love Nigthwish is partly the time with Tarja and partly her own singing style, which is just as classic as Tarja, among other things, with a lot of vibrato and the traditional classical / opera-like sound. When Floor comes with her own more metal and rocky style with some classic spice added here and there, she is apparently judged on Elvann's original preferences and not on Floor's own terms. This is why I ask if it might not be time to accept that Tarja (and that song style) is no longer in Nightwish. A more fair alternative might be to make reaction videos with Tarja. After all, there are many who would be very excited about that. Not me. I first stood on the Nightwish train after Tarja stopped.
As others point out, I also think there has been a striking tendency to criticize Floor's classic style, or even that she doesn't sing certain songs with classic sound.
Thank you. What I love about Floor is that when she decides to use her head voice doesn't automatically mean she will go pure operatic. There is no reason why should a singer of contemporary music be bound by "dogmatic" approach of classical singing when using their head voice. Floor just does what is needed for the song to sound as good as possible.
I listen to my favourite opera (operetta, mass, concert...) recordings when I want to hear pure operatic vocals. I don't expect NW to sound like an opera and frankly, if the operatic vocals were the only vocals they could do, I wouldn't waste my time listening to them. That is the main reason why I didn't care much about NW when Tarja was with them. I don't quite get why is she so revered and I don't like how she sounds. Her operatic techniques are far from great. That enunciation and tree-felling vibrato (far from the quality of the operatic techniques of the professional classical singer) are grating. Considering she doesn't use any other techniques in her singing, I would expect her to be an expert in the operatic. So no, NW with Floor or bust.
Hi Elvann! I liked rhe album version of this song when it was released... But never liked the live versions with Annette... Floor's version is great and is the same as in Ghost Love Score... She added her touch and made it better than the original.. Have fun editing your videos to make them pass the cut with the algorithm!!!
Will try best as I can! I think most of it happens during the recording actually! I don't like to have to think of stopping. I don'T mind getting demonetized, but being blocked is a whole other topic :\ This song is one of the longest and there are long instrumental parts. I shouldn't have too much problems with the following ones!
I reallyyyy, reallyyy love your reactions! They are reallyyyy, reallly precise! They show how much you reallyyyy, really love NW. Just one thing, if i may, the part were you stated, correctly, that she wasnt fully classical prof singer, to me was of her choosing to be more warm, but who am i.... i really love you! see you in reacticide
This just popped up in my subs and can already say, I'm probably way too excited... in a good way. So Now, press play to enter Elvann's world!
Awwwnn yess! :D
GReatings my reacticide friend
Thank you!!! I just watched from your Google Drive, but of course I’m going to like and comment 😁
This was just what I needed after another 12+ hour day of hardcore trucking 😊
I love a few things about this performance. The visual effects and lighting add so much to an already amazing performance. There’s the way you can tell Floor feels the emotion and communicates it to the crowd and you know the audience feels it. There’s Marko doing the same WHILE PLAYING PERFECT BASS. There’s Kai nailing the drums. There’s Emppu doing his part exactly as he should.
Then there’s Tuomas who’s still reliving the story of how this song was written (even if it’s not quite as intense with the passing of time) and his friends and band mates stopping by on stage to offer comfort and reassurance.
This is epic musical theater and I’m glad we get to experience it even if only on video.
Now, it’s fantastic on its own, but thank you for giving us your interpretation and thoughts as well! I love getting the opinions and nuances from experts who are also fellow fans 👍
One of the songs I hope you get a chance to react to from the Wembly show is Shudder Before the Beautiful. It’s such a wonderful, upbeat, feel good song with lots of dynamic changes in tempo and volume and it seems like NOBODY has reacted to it 😜 It’s one of my favorite songs to enjoy as I’m driving into a beautiful sunrise or sunset ❤️
“The music of this awe
Deep silence between the notes
Deafens me with endless love
This vagrant Island Earth
A pilgrim shining bright
We are shuddering before the beautiful
Before the plentiful
We, the voyagers”
Thanks again, Elvann, and have a wonderful night 😎
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment here :D I actually performed Shudder Before the Beautiful live with the cover band I used to be in! It was such a fun song! I'll go through pretty much all the Nightwish songs I can, one at a time. Or at least, that's my plan for now!
Elvann you’re most welcome!!! Thanks for taking the time to reply and I’ll definitely look forward to that 😎
"She's not a professional opera singer" - Oh Please, just listen to Shoemaker from the new album =)
Meu comentário é apenas uma reação a crítica da RUclipsr à respeito das escolhas da Floor nessa música, como se ela não fosse capaz de acessar esse tipo de técnica vocal. Todos nós sabemos que a Floor não está em cartaz e nunca esteve em nenhuma Opera de fato.
One of my favorite song. Floor is the best ❤
Love the reaction as always but I have a few things to say about part 3 "the Pacific". First of all, this song was written for Annette not Tarja nor was it written for Floor so it wasnt supposed to sound operatic. Secondly, Floor never goes full on opera even though most of us know that she can if she wants (she has done so before) but I feel that not only Floor but also Tuomas would rather a different approach. I mean, look at the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful, there was nothing operatic about it. And as for struggling, I think the only thing she struggled with is keeping her own emotions in check as she has stated in a few interviews that she feels the music very strongly and has said she is hyper sensitive or something along those lines. It was a great performance none the less and those end notes, like weeping 😢 But like I said, loved the reaction. Thanks for the uncut version, I can only imagine the amount of work that went into trying to figure this one out and get it uploaded.
Thanks for the link to the uncut version :-D Much appreciated .
You're welcome!
I just finished watching both this version of the video and the uncut (which I thank you for sharing!)... and now I’m listening to your music on iTunes & I LOVE the soft, smoky almost huskiness in your voice when in your lower register, and when you’re singing softly. It’s not breathy. It’s beautiful. Your chest voice has the same kind of solid, robust, very well supported weight that Floor’s has. Very lovely & obviously you’re a naturally gifted singer. 🙂
Your music is definitely in a few of my playlists, and has been for a while now!
🤘🏻💜
Omg this is the sweetest comment ever, thank you so much!
@Elvann You are so welcome! Never quit your dream!
I was waiting for this reaction, you are the best :D
Awwn thank you!
Floor is not an opera singer. She sings in a symphonic metal band but her voice is the most versatile of all three
Great reaction and analysis. Thanks for putting up the full video link, I watched that but left this one playing to get the full view-time on your stats lol.
I just want to say that I truly appreciate you doing that
no problem, i will just like and comment here, and watch the full version via google drive :)
it scared me though, kind of reacts, i was afraid you had already seen it before or at least part of it, so this is not so bad luckily :)
Hey thanks for taking the time to comment here!
@@ElvannReactsi hadn't watched the video yet when i commented before, but i know that now. It was, as Always, very much fun to watch :)
I also would like to request 2 songs for you to react to if you don't mind.
after forever - who i am, live with irene as a quest (floor and her sister singing together)
the 2nd you will most likely already know, it's the bonus track from once, live to tell the tale (my favorite song by far). or maybe a cover? :)

Thank you for your ellegant and accurate analysis. Waiting eagerly for the next one. Happy New Year 2020! All the best from RO.
I don't quite understand your way of responding and react. You tell that you can hear that Floor is not a professional opera singer. And no, she is not. Then I think, why comment in such a way? Why comment on what she doesn't sound like and what she isn't? There are many things she doesn't sound like. So what is your purpose with this? It seems almost like you absolutely will find something negative about Floor. But that cannot be true?
Finally 🤣 Thank you Elvann for doing this!
Here we go...wow did I miss the beginning 👀 ow there is Floor 😘 yep she is spot on in this song...more directer, more beautiful. I think she is live better then on recordings (as general), it is in the small things for me!
Huh again strange cut/part 👀
She is trained in opera, but indeed not a professional...she can well handle it.
Again strange cut 👀 to the end...is this because of the struggles you had with the previous recordings of this song?
Annette version I heard once and I wasn't impressed with it, as I am with this 1.
Thnx Elvann for doing this it was fun. Ow btw All the best wishes 😘
Till the next...
...👊
Hey! Thanks so much for watching it anyways despite the strange cuts! That's the best I could do with the tools RUclips is offering! Without those cuts I wasn't allowed to post the video at all :(
I think the vocals in 'The Pacific' were meant to kinda drop out like that to make them feel emotional, like she's choking back tears as she sings it. At least that was always the impression I got before your critique of it - but an interesting take nonetheless! I consider this song to be Tuomas' magnum opus, and this performance to be the best rendition of it I've heard.
Also, don't listen to the handful of complainers in the comments. Tarja and Floor both have these weird sub-fanclubs that get very offended on their behalf if you say they were anything less than flawless. Floor herself has said that she's watched several of the "reaction" videos of their performances, and finds the ones from vocal coaches and performers the most interesting.
Really nice feature that link to uncut version... way to go imo! Thanks much...
Sparkle my scenery part was also boy soprano in the album version
There is a fine line between convenience and the need to understand what is being sung. It is precisely why I can't listen to Tarja, I simply can't understand what she is singing. When I know the lyrics are supposed to be English I expect to at least make an effort to pronounce is in English, not the gobbledygook Tarja sings. Ah well, just an opinion...
I love Tarja, but I must say indeed, diction is not quite her forte ^.^ Still loving her!
While that is true, its quite common that with songs you don't understand the lyrics even if they are in your language... it also different for different people, sometimes can understand it easily, some need many attempts or written lyrics. However, if you really like some song/group, you get the lyrics sooner or later some way, and after that youre most probably to recognise those words next time(s). So it only problem for songs you listen for first time and dont know whether you going to like them or not...
BTW they say that even for classical opera (most sung in Italian) even Italians are reading the lyrics from paper (programme)... dunno but seems logical.
So not top priority for me...
@@SYNtemp for me, even when versed in Italian, I never forget to bring the libretto of the opera I'm watching. And yes it is true sometimes it doesn't matter. However, Tarjas diction is terrible whatever the language probably with Finnish being the exception. If the majority of songs are performed are in English, you as a singer, you better practice. Your audience deserves it, and after 25 years being on stage, Tarja is still horrible. Sorry, I just don't buy the excuses people make when it comes to Tarja and pronunciation.
Famous Turuninglish
I have to admit I've never heard Anette sing it... 🙄
It’s not bad. She definitely gave it her all on stage. No comparison against Floor’s vocals of course. But still worth watching. Once. 😜
There's a live version with Anette on Made in Hong Kong album.
ohh really? You should tho, as a comparison point! I like the original version as well!
it's very good still, though she just is unable to reach floor's level in my opinion
live, i found it not so great
have you ever heard the demo version sung by marco?
I am a simple man and an Elvann fan. I see a new video, I press like.
Awwnnn thank you for always being around! It's so apreciated!
That goes without saying :)
Happy New Year to you Elvann. You were quite critical about Floor not being "comfortable" during the ' ii Pacific' movement. Considering that this passage is so high in pitch that Anette avoided recording it on the album is testimony to how versatile Floor is. I thought it was an unnecessary criticism on what I believe is a flawless performance. Take care
I feel for Annette. To follow Tarja and be followed by Floor must be every frontwoman's nightmare. Kudos to her, that she didn't get Blayze Bayleyed.
Elvann, can we have a reaction to Unleash the Archers Awakening? Give your fellow canadians a shot.
Yeah, it must have been hard! She's not a bad singer :\
@@ElvannReacts Neither is Blayze. ;-) His solo stuff is good. He just couldn't sing the stuff written for Bruce without hurting himself. :-(
It's fine. I ll watch this AND the uncut one just for fun. Dont worry, apparently the that group that keeps copyrighting it is REALLY anal about this song in particular. I ve seen year old reactions that have 60k views get taken down recently. It's a shame. But what can you do.
Also, if you dislike this video cause of the cuts, you don't GET IT and arent a Nightwish fan just a "Oh I guess FLoor's popular now, sweet I'm a fan NOW!" type a "fan".
elvann I was there ,floor was perfect .that evening was amazing
no no no, Elvann what’s the problem saying the truth. Floor is much more better performer than Anette. Yes, Anette is a good singer but Floor is a goddess
she deserves a like because of her effort to post in GDrive so thank you and who ever watch it on GDrive plz like her video
Awwn thank you, you're so sweet! It's me right there trying my best >.
Hi, my english is not so good but i try it. Toumas is a real genius. I think he wrote the lyricks after the band fired Tarja. He came home and his Mother asked him "Why did you so cold? Tell me, You now i will love you everytime". I think he told her everything whats happened for the last 9 years ago. After this he wrote the lyricks and before he performed the music, he changed the lyricks and he but the end with the dead of the poet on the beginning of the song and then he composed the music. What do you think about my meaning?
Yay, finally got it to post. Looks like they went way overboard with the striking since you had to cut out so much.
A disjointed reaction...unenjoyable
@@davestewart5755 @ Dave Stewart First read the Discription. Better then non Reaction
yeaheeee it's really a lot of cutting. They cut a lot more than what was the original section they were blocking the video for. It kept adding up, and the video is so long it was taking me about 1-2 hour for each new upload to process and such... after 6 times I abandoned and just used the RUclips tool. It was either that or no Poet & the Pendulum for us xD
@@ElvannReacts link to uncut version solves this neatly...
Hi Elvann, nice to see and hear you again with this great masterpiece of music! Too bad of course that you had to cut it down do much to get it through the RUclips algorithm, but it's fine you have the full version still on Google Drive:-)
I've heard this song dozends of time by now, and I agree with you concerning the comparison between Annette and Floor... on the original album version Annette did a good job and I liked it! Live it was not so good, that's been her weak point all the time... And then Floor came up with it live, and she gave the whole song a new dimension! She made it her own, like she did with all previous songs... Like you said, dear Elvann, for the first time you could hear what it has supposed to sound like...
And again I love your reaction and analysis, you have unveiled also for me some details I havn't noticed before... great job, and a very nice start in 2020 with you:-)😍
If I remember correctly, the intro voice is actually a boy.
hmm, i really wanted to love this reaction since it's an amazing song, but it was cut too tight. i'll move on to ur next video... edited to add, i loved ur insightful comments on the details of singing, tnx...
@Mantvydas NenartavičiusI have seen the uncut version, tnx.
You surely give Annette a lot of praise here, for her precise pronounciation. And I think you're right, as far I can give an opinion on singing, which is not much.. But you are absolutely right here
It was Floor's precise pronunciation Elvann was talking about, and was pointing out that with Annete, the pronunciation wasn't so clear
@@EnigmaTimGaming lol....
@@EnigmaTimGaming Exactly, and the pitch too isn't as precise!
Je me suis jeté sur la vidéo dès que RUclips me l'a recommandé avant même de regarder mes abonnements...et même si c'est dommage que tu aies dû faire autant de coupes, ça reste intéressant à écouter pour l'analyse. Merci pour tes immenses efforts !
Ça fait plaisir! Merci d'être là et pour ta compréhension avec le prblème de copyright!
@@ElvannReacts J'ai vu des dizaines (et je suis bien gentil !) de vidéos de réaction sur la Sainte Trinité de Nightwish, et même avec tes difficultés et les coupes nécessaires, tes vidéos restent parmi les plus intéressantes à suivre, alors pas besoin de me remercier. 😊
Thank you for uploading your comments anyhow. This is why I am watching you .
Thank you for watching it despite this little issue I had! ^.^ Hopefully the comments made up for the cuts!
You should give the demo version a listen, It's entirely sang by Marco.
I hope you had a great holiday, Happy new year.
ohh I didn't know, that'd be fun to listen!!!!
Elvann it’s much darker
@@ElvannReacts This is a dark one, and will give elaboration on certain parts of the lyrics.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the word you are searching for at the end there is "complete".
Now the song feels complete.
To me at least.
Yeahe, think that's the one I might have been looking for!! :P
I guess you have been very unlucky with RUclips and this video, I've watched like a dozen of reactions to this song and they didn't have to cut a single second and the videos are still there. The copyright strikes and censorship on RUclips is becoming ridiculous, a few days ago a channel about miniature painting received an strike and had the video taken down because she used the words "colour shading" or something like that and some brand had those words copyrighted... Anyway, thanks for the video!
wow that's totally insane! :\
Can I make a suggestion, any chance of balancing the audio between the video and your mic? When the video is playing to hear at a regular/normal level, and then when you stop to talk it's "AHH! My Ears!!"...so the need to hurry and turn down the volume each time when I see that your about to pause...lol..the mad dash!
Pretty much unwatchable, however that gdrive thingy was great, THANKS!!!!
Yeah sorry for that, I hope you enjoyed the uncut version!
Another vocal coach that needs to hear Dimash. Arguably the greatest singer alive. Check out first his song SOS from the singer.
I will!
I mean do a reaction....🤣🤣🤣👍
I LOVE the new hair
Thanks! That's what they were supposed to look like from the beginning on, but previously the hairdresser I went to used a semi-permanent color who faded to blue and then green in only 2-3 weeks XD Now it's supposed to actually stay that way
Happy New Year darling

Great you see you back again.
For some reason RUclips decided to suggest "Ayreon" to me - maybe that is something for you? Especially "Ayreon - Valley Of The Queens" ( TbebO5BZi-I ) .. i believe you know "one queen" already :P
This is Floor not Annette
Such a shame that you had so much trouble getting this video through the Google-Overlord censors :(. Still splendid to hear your insights :bows:. Also, knowing what it is about, every time I see the guys go over to Tuomas during this, it tears me up.
You know all the songs by Heart?
Ann and Nancy Wilson Freak'n Rock!
Lol.😎...segue into HEART song reviews...👍
Nice reaction, even though you weren't able to fit all of the song into the video. When it comes to the comfort of her more classical parts, would you say that you think it's just some shortcomings based on not being as trained as a pure professional classical singer, or is it a mix of her not singing it in quite the same technique? I remember her saying that she isn't very fond of the restrictions of classic opera and she likes to do some things that are considered bad by purists just because she thinks it sounds better. For an inexperienced ear like mine it's hard to know where the line is drawn though, as I don't listen to much purely classical music.
That's a good question!
First, I don't either believe in some of the restrictions that go with classical singing, and I sort of reject them as well. I understand what she's going for in a "oh dear I feel you too manner".
When it comes to this though, I really think it's a matter of two things.
1. She is not a coloratura soprano, which means, her voice doesn't have the same ability to be agile and flexible as singers with that quality in their voices. Some singer are just born with a really high, really agile voice. Sharon might be a coloratura, she can glide in those high notes really easily. On the other hand, that gives Floor more resonance, and roundness in her medium range where Sharon might not come as strong. This is not a matter of skills, it's a matter of voice type, and natural vocal abilities. Floor has a bigger voice, which also means her high end will sounds heavier and less flowy than what a coloratura soprano could do.
2. I don't think it's a matter of choice here, I can hear her not being full on with that section, and having a bit more trouble managing her breath. She actually ends up having that sort of collapsing in her breathing at the end of a line actually, which I actually foresaw about 2 lines before it happened. All along, I was thinking "okay it still sounds beautiful, it's not that noticeable, but but she's definitely walking on eggshells here, I can tell." And then it happened. I didn't want to point it out in the video because people are really quick to jump at my throat for saying anything else than "it's perfect". :\
@@ElvannReacts Thank you for the answer, I found that interesting to read. I certainly don't require my artists to be perfect in order to enjoy them, but I certainly see your point in that people would jump on you for that. That's unfortunately a common Internet mentality.
I'm just glad to be able to learn a little bit more about singing technique here and there, although I'm in the "I may not know much about art, but I know what I like" category. :)
why this?
So unfair how copyright owners (and/or Google/RUclips) treat different reactors! Some channels release the whole song uninterrupted and most just have to add a couple short pauses in the original video but had to strip almost everything away.
Did I hear correctly in the start that you're back in FINLAND? So you live here. Wow. I didn't know that.
Yes, I do live here, and I really love it! :D I'm from Canada though. In 10 days, it'll be 1 year I arrived ^.^
That's was some cuts... RUclips can be a hard place to work...
:\ yeaheee that was harsh, the video was cut in half or something :\
Great review. I watched the uncut version. I wonder if folks used this version:
ruclips.net/video/CpRcIrEODnk/видео.html
it might not get blocked. IMHO .. this version is equal to if not better than the Wembley version. The video and audio is clearer.
thanks for the reaction and I love it. Love that you up to google drive. ty again and keep going. Regards from Spain
Good analysis of the vocals, I think about the verse endings are great too like you, I get annoyed if the singer kind of swallows the ends of words. I like that Tuomas left the choir boys part in the beginning, it is tied to original album version that way and also gives some gredit to the boy who sings it, smart move from Tuomas imho. Happy new decade and do some reactions of the old songs sang by Floor from the Decades tour live in Buenos Aires, I bet you’ll love them versions.
Thank you! I think you might be right about the boy singing the first part :) There might also be some storytelling reasons for it ^.^
And of course I'll keep going thorugh those lives one by one ;)
Thank you for this i love this song. Hope you had enjoyable time in Canada love the review lady welcome back :-)
thanks Elvann .. very good …. from Discord …. :)

Congratulations for those who passed the test!
I liked your comments. Thanks for your work
I agree so much with you. I always think her operatic voice was not good enough. In her Phantom performance in Beste Zangers it showed more of her operatic head voice being too weak
I didn't say her operatic voice wasn't good enough tho, I only said it she doesn't sound like professional opera singers when she goes into her head voice. I think she manages to be believable enough though ^.^ But I can see what you mean, her operatic head voice is definitely sounding weaker to me than her more pop/mix voice. Either way she's doing an excellent job at everything she does!
🇳🇱🇫🇮🇨🇦🤘
to much bla bla bla...
From Spain please. Reacts to Camilo Sesto: Getsemani ( live 1977 ).
Good and honest vision, as always.
I do think Floor has some songs that were harder for her to do, especially those written for Annette her more pop and faster singing.
(And the Wembley recording was in 2015)
So many dislikes, I can't understand. They can't read or something. Elvanne, don't worry about those too much, you're the best
I don't worry about this too much anymore XD
Perhaps the many dislikes are not so much due to the technical difficulties due to RUclips, but something else.
Too much talking from you...
You was sick doing this reaction?? So so bad.. Floor is amazing en sounds amazing in what she is doing... you are over over over analyzing her style of singing.. and compairing it with former singers.. She sounds amazing is that not good enough for you? You know it all and you are the vocal coach..yeah right.. Why are you not in Nightwish if you that good and know it all
James Jameson She’s a fucking vocal couch that specialises in classical training, of course she’s going to critique her singing. It’s practically the only flaw Floor has.
Que mulher chata !!!! Fala demais
Floor "Vilja Lied" Beste Zangers 2019 opening song (Tribute to Henk Poort)
So much cuts! Sorry, but i don't like this one
You should have read the description. The cuts are because of RUclips, I couldn't do anything about it, it was either that or not video at all. :( But the full version is on my Google Drive, you can watch it without the cuts there
Oh my! Did you even dare to imply that the Valkyrie Goddess of music was not 100% perfect! Lock the doors, batten down the hatches, the frothing disciples of the Nightwish Army are storming the gates of Helsinki!! (Maybe, just maybe, some of them take this a little too seriously……..). Keep up the good work!!! And hello from British Columbia, 🇨🇦
why the hell are you starting halfway ... ???? ...because of the copyrights....well... terrible ..for such an epic song ......you've really missed that journey lady ...reaction rejected...hope you wouldnt do that again
Try reading the discription.
Discription. Nothing more to say.
It's 100% RUclips's fault. It was either that or no Poet & the Pendulum. I thought this was better than nothing, but I've also shared the link for the full version I uploaded on my google drive in the description if you want to look at it instead. I think it might be more enjoyable!
The endless skipping ruins it all. Totally not enjoyable.
Why do some people find it so hard to read the discription?
@@maxmattt I got a notification on my phone and opened it straight away to watch. Not reading the description is my mistake i admit. But she's a big nightwish fan and i was excited to see her reaction and her being a big nightwish fan, she should know how passionate their fan base is and therefore not upload this crappy video. If you don't have your equipment to do it available, then just don't do it until you have it and you can do it proper. It's unprofessional and unkind to her fans/subscribers. Yet another thing is that this song is massive in many ways and a big fan favorite.
@@xtrbg hey, it's not an equipment problem, it's a RUclips copyright problem! It was either this cut version or no version at all. It's RUclips that's 100% to blame on this one. Though, luckily, you can watch the full and uncut (and likely more enjoyable) version on the link I've put in the description!
@@ElvannReacts sorry, i assumed it was technical one. There are other youtubers that have successfully done a reaction to the poet and the pendulum without the copyright problem affecting the video, although i don't know how(I'm not a youtuber myself). They might be able to help you out on that one and for future long songs reactions.
P. S. My comments on your video are not hateful or anything at all in that vein of thinking, i was just and still am disappointed with this video in particular.
Have a nice weekend 😊
@@xtrbg Well yep hopefully you perform to your own standards while doing hobby things... You actually may, in which case your critics is hard but OK. If not, then its hippocrisy...
Uhhh....You don't get it. Breaks on the worst time... says enough of your not knowing what music is about. I really doubt if you are a vocal coach... unsubscribe...
She cut everything after trying to upload SIX TIMES. The full video is in the description.
