    Finally, HONEST vocal coaches and not fake ones who will say anything the radical fans want to hear just to earn some new subscribers. You have earned my respect \m/
    Nightwish is an incredible band that tends to send shivers to the hearts of their fans. The passion can easily turn ugly into borderline religious extremism, hence the dislike ratio of this video. Floor is a phenomenal singer, but fans need to expand their horizons and realize that ALL the Nightwish singers, including Marko and Tarja, as amazing as they are, are still merely a speck of dust in the universe of talents.
    As for Floor's performance in this video. Her strengths are her incredible belts. As for the rest and her versatility, it's nothing unique really. Marcela Bovio, Britney Slays, Fabienne Erni, Marta Gabriel, Melissa Bonny, Cassanda Novell, Helena Michaelsen. They do everything Floor does, some even better. It's all just a matter of exposure.
    And before everyone starts bashing me and the reactioners, keep in mind, Floor has said it numerous times already in her streams that she is sick and tired of "fake vocal coaches" who never gives any criticism but only praise without any substance. She would appreciate this above 99 % of all other GLS videos out there, take that to heed before you unleash your hate and call yourself a true fan.

      This is great example of you own self important reasoning, to underweight the performance of another to further your own self indulgent importance. And the the fact that you tried to head off unpositive remarks. That you go to the point of pinning a couple remarks supporting your opinion.
      Is it so hard for you to listen to. Without trying to build your self as the grand Superior voice's. When it is the ones you are revoking who are the ones that have achieved the actual accomplishments. I guess you are both woke.

    Floor Jansen is a Dutch singer, singing in a Finnish band and she lives with her Swedish husband and their daughter Freja in Sweden. Floor speaks multiple languages and allready has song in 7 different languges. She is also a vocal coach for over 20 years. She belongs to one of the most versetile singers in the world.

      Since almost everyone that has any knowledge of singing, one of the first things they mention about Floor is her amazing breath control coupled with the ability to technically switch seamlessly between styles.

      Dude, nobody is saying Floor was a song writer. Dimash was singing other bands material, so that includes him. The main thing is Floor replaced Tarja as the new lead singer of a very well established band and she has definitely succeeded in keeping the band at a high level by contributing with her powerful and graceful voice, what more can one ask for? Your point is mute and weak! Nightwish continues to move on with Floor. BTW, you should listen to the latest album (Human II Nature) and see how power her voice is as it was done in 2020 with her as the lead singer. It was another successful album release by Nightwish.

    Hello Chase and Melia ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us.
    Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of a 82k audience.
    Also a recent sad news - these days Marco Hietala, the bass player and male singer of the band, announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us.
    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 saw, you enjoyed the powerful performance of the band, together with the stellar vocals of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen. Hope you'll continue on this path.
    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 "
    Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory):

    Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
    The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. I have nothing against previous singers, but I do not consider myself the most suitable person to give specific recommendations from their repertoires.
    ** I think it's your place, fans of previous Nightwish eras, to present to the reactors the best recommendations with Tarja Turunen and Anette Olzon, because you know and appreciate them directly. I encourage you to add the best recommendations in the comments. **
    That being said, I will add here the message left the other days by an old fan of the band, @Fabrizio Gorla: " To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs. Just be fair and don’t make a comparison if you don’t want an open war in your comment section.

    You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019 (TV show from Netherlands) here is a playlist made by Floor herself (start listen it in reverse order..): ruclips.net/p/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo
    For entire episodes of the show with En subtitles, you should check Denise Hofs's DM channel: dailymotion_dot_com/xpinkeu/videos
    In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 6 covers there, the first is "Let It Go" from "Frozen" (25 weeks ago, already over 2.416M views), the second - "Alone" from "Heart" , released 23 weeks ago - 1.220M and counting. Then 21 weeks ago she dropped the third cover, in Dutch: "Is Dit Nou Later" from Stef Bos - already 282K views. Just before Christmas she made a powerful cover of "Ave Maria" - already 312K views. 18 weeks ago she added a remastered / remixed version of the first one, "Let It Go" - already 217K. 16 weeks ago she added to the list a powerful cover of "Adagio" by Lara Fabian (!!!) - 448K views now. Then, just 11 weeks ago she gave us the last one so far: "Oblivion" by M83 - 553K views in 11 weeks..
    !!! A last moment update: 2 weeks ago Floor did a cover of "Euphoria" for Beste Zangers Songfestival ruclips.net/video/FOBgrpkOIVE/видео.html - 770K views already !!!
    Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.

      But- she doesn’t show off. She sings to serve the song and the story. It’s not all about her, and she knows it. It’s about the song. I honestly find the singers who go all out to show off and impress people to be quite frustrating and annoying- it takes away from the story. We’ve all heard vocal gymnastics before. I want solid technique that serves the story. I don’t want to hear some narcissist that makes it all about them.

      Not only that, it was the 13th song of the setlist.The whole concert was 15 songs and she had been singing, dancing, windmilling and entertaining people for about 80 minutes at the start of that song. And while this is not the most difficult song to sing - Floor says that Everdream is the most challenging one - it is definitely not an easy song to sing. It also doesn't add up with them saying how some transitions from head voice into belting is difficult to do.. see their open mouths at 25:30... yet he says it is a fairly simple song to sing - what a joke

    Floor Jansen is a Dutch singer, singing in English with a Finnish band for 82+k audience, many of whom are German - this is from a festival in Germany called Wacken Open Air.
    And, no - this particular piece was not written with her in mind but was composed when Nightwish included Tarja Turunen in their ranks, and Tarja was a very operatic-oriented singer. Looking at your reaction and comments, I guess you might want to check Tarja's version of that same song.

      This comment needs to be highlighted completely. Its not a flat note per se but rather a chosen way she controls the song to her mixed belt range where she can be a storyteller for the song lyrics. If she wanted to have stayed in her head voice she would have chosen to do so. The song was originally written for an operatic tone. Floor wanted to find a way to put her own storytelling into the words.

    I would say that it is not entirely fair to compare Floor Jansen's performance to that of a solo artist. She is part of an ensemble, she sings the parts in the way they are composed as part of a complete performance, and while she certainly adds color and texture, she, like all the other members of the band, "stays in her lane". She can certainly do runs, trills and whatever vocal tricks that Dimash or the others are using. They were not part of the song composition or Tuomas' vision for what he wanted the finished product to sound like.

    Hmmm, not sure what to think of it. Several times you pointed out that what she was doing is difficult (e.g. breath control, key changes and going from headvoice to full belt) and then saying its an easy song to sing. That does not seem to add up.
    Everyone here would be saying it is premature to draw any conclusions on this performance, though it is a very good entry into Nightwish, it by no means gives a full picture of her capabilities. For example:
    - Poet and the pendulem (serving the song and the emotions are dripping of the screen)
    - Shoemaker (complicated melody lines and going full operatic)
    - Yours is an empty hope (Death metal growls)
    - Hows the heart live, (comlicated melodylines)
    - Beste zangers, Vilja lied (German, Liedr)
    - Beste Zangers, Shallow (intimate Lady Gaga cover)
    - Ever dream (killer belts)
    - The devil and the deep dark ocean (Paradise by the dashboard light like performance between Floor and Marko, and Floor hitting E6)

Music is subjective. Everyone (who can truly sing) will have a place in someone's heart. For me, Floor is one of the most gifted, versatile singers on the planet. She can literally sing anything.

    Hi Chase and Melia. Enjoyed your reaction, I know I've been on your case about this for a while...😉 Floor is indeed a vocal coach herself and she's Dutch. The band is Finnish. You were absolutely right, she uses her voice to fit the song, which is something I prefer over vocal gymnastics. She can do it all though, full opera, pop or rock singing or even full on growling. Saying that this was a simple song to sing, is a bit of an understatement in my opinion. To put it in perspective, this was the 13th song of that show, well over an hour into a very demanding, energetic performance. Now I wouldn't call that simple...
    If you want to hear something more recent, try 'Shoemaker' from the latest album. There are no live recordings of that yet, as the album was released in April 2020 and Nightwish hasn't been able to tour yet. There is a lyric video though. ruclips.net/video/Rjp_DfvJimg/видео.html

    One thing about Nightwish as a whole: Each member serves the music. They are all extremely skilled, but don't try to show off, they do what the piece requires them to do. Everything Floor does is very deliberate. Same with for instance the guitarist Emppu; his solo in this song might not impress some metal guitar fans, but it's exactly what it's supposed to be, executed expertly with precision.

    I enjoy your technical reaction & comments, but please stay away from even talking about "Dears" thinking Dimash is better, etc. Dimash himself dislikes such talk. It isn't a competition. Each artist is individually unique. I'm a 79 year old retired singer/performer/vocal coach. I'm also a huge Dimash fan and huge Floor fan. IMHO, the world is having an extraordinary number of prodigy-like singer/artists at this time. You do have to take into consideration that Dimash is a phenomenon who has millions of fans & some of them are very irrational in response to anything they see as being critical of him. Dimash has stated that he is an imperfect person & that he has much to learn about singing, composing, & music in general.

There's an entire documentary about her entry into Nightwish (Please Learn the Setlist in 48 Hours). I stumbled onto Nightwish due to reaction channels and have been in awe of the band ever since.

While Floor and Nightwish's music is written to tell stories and evoke emotions. Both are great at their craft, but I would listen to Nightwish and Floor any day of the week. But a fine reaction I would recommend you to listen to more Floor I don't think you will be disappointed.

    Prepare to batten down the hatches - that's all I can say! Although I would add that you're giving out mixed messages - you say you're not nit picking or overly criticising when you obviously are and you're making comparisons with Dimash and Morissette - adding that this was a "simple song" to sing - in my earlier life I used to sing some very complicated sacred and secular pieces and this definitely isn't "EASY" to sing - especially after a previous hour of demanding vocals! Please accept my apologies as I really don't want to sound patronising but whilst you are both very knowledgeable in the singing/musical fields - you need a few more years of experience. I'm not suggesting for one moment that Floor Jansen is the best singer in the world - and she would be the first to admit she has bad days. But I suppose what I'm trying to say is that you should see more of her solo material aswell outside of Nightwish before you criticise. If you do wish to pursue this - I suggest her songs on a Dutch TV singing show called "Beste Zangers" , also her own RUclips channel - where you will find her own coaching snippet videos - ( there is a professional opera singer who has his own RUclips channel who says he has learnt a lot from Floor) and other songs! No offence meant!

  • @ericfisher4736
    @ericfisher4736 3 года назад +23

    As a big Nightwish fan, I enjoy hearing musically educated people offer some criticism once and a while, so it was refreshing to hear your reaction. As others have mentioned, this song wasn't written when she was their singer, so she added a bit of her own flavor to it. Floor goes between classical and modern styles often in her performance, while their original singer (Tarja) was almost pure classical. Even the high note at the end was something Floor added that wasn't in the original.
    On another note: If you'd like a sample of many of the best metal singers in one song, I would suggest the song/video "The Day that the World Breaks Down" by Ayreon. There are 11 singers on that song from various other bands like Dream Theater, Blind Guardian, Kamalot, etc... It was one of my covid lockdown discoveries and it basically let me to explore a lot of new bands. The Ayreon project was put together by Dutch songwriter/musician Arjen Lucassen back in the 90s, and all his albums feature a connected storyline with many metal/rock singers playing specific characters on each album. Also you will never hear a better sung line of binary code (0101....) than in The Day that the World Breaks Down.

    @JS-bg3jw 3 года назад +9

    Floor is extremely versatile. As you noticed she changes range, style etc within a song, let alone from song to song. And don't be surprised along the way - Nightwish has a wide array of songs from really heavy ones, to soft ballads, to those with celtic to some with jazzy vibe etc. Every song tends to be different and yet, as time goes by, one still recognizes most of them to be a NIghtwish song.
    Romanticide from the same Wacken 2013 concert gives a great example of her octave range (around 3 and half altogether), while Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires shows Marco's singing too and her sometimes insane vocals. It's quite theatrical.
    From Wacken 2013 Song of Myself, Ghost River are good ones.
    Yours Is An Empty Hope from Wembley 2015 shows her growl. True death metal growl. Poet and the Pendulum is one of longest, most emotional Nightwish songs and for that one, you need the backstory, composed of 5 parts. The Greatest Show on Earth is the longest one and I suggest TAmpere 2015 for that one. Check out the lyrics for that one in advance, because the composer, Tuomas, planned to be a biologist and actually got into Uni (highly competitive in Finland) to study biology, so the lyrics are full of biology terms.
    From Buenos Aires Dead Boy's Poem, Slayer the Dreamer and 10th Man down. From Tampere 2015 Stargazers, 'Weak Fantasy, Sleeping Sun and The Islander to let Marco shine.
    And most of these songs were not written for Floor. Songs from the Album Endless Forms Most Beautiful are the first ones written for Floor so from the songs above, only Weak Fantasy and Greatest Show on Earth have been written for her.
    But to dwell more on Floor. Vilja Lied from Beste Zangers is a good example of her classical style. Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort is A MUST!!! from the same show. Alike from Beste Zangers Shallow, About Love I Don't Know a Thing, Mama, Que Se Siente, Winner - all different in style.
    To hear her voice truly, How's The Heart and Nemo acoustic versions on Planet Rock. Both are Nightwish songs. How's the Heart was written for her, Nemo not.
    Her latest solo songs are something to check out too. They are covers, although Floor is a song writer too and has done her own music in After Forever, ReVamp and Northward. Adagio, Alone, Euphoria, Oblivion. The War Child is simple, but can make one cry, even the Dutch version one doesn't understand a word.
    For Christmas, O Holy Night (Oi Joulyö) or Ave Maria with Marco.
    For a classical aria O Mio Babbino Caro.
    Sancta Terra and Stabat Mater with Epica.
    And for you, the latest Nightwish album Human II Nature might be an interesting listen. It's not a concept album per se, but still the songs are linked to each other both lyrically and musically. Music basically tells the history of music and shows yet another style of singing (melismatic I think) by Floor, Pan and Tribal are heavier ones. Shoemaker is, well, different, and the end has left tens of reactors speechless. But for that, check out the story of Eugenie Shoemaker before listening to it.
    Noise has a pretty cool music video.
    Quite a few still wait for the live versions, the album came out just before the pandemic really hit, a little over a year ago, so there hasn't been any concerts yet....
    And after a while you'll realize what it takes for a singer to survive a Nightwish concert, so the you might understand a little bit better the feat Floor does live.
