Thanks soo much to everyone who has kindly commented. I'm relieved to know there's a scientific reason for what I felt at the end of this song (and that it has a proper name)😂 In the past, I would be going through and replying to everyone's comment. It's super difficult for me to do that right now, but I promise I am scrolling through everyone's comments and seeing them and the recommendations. Thank you again and there'll be more NightWish reactions to come!
they competed in eurovision with song SLeepwalker and got i think 2nd place or were disqualified because the song was "too heavy" if i remeber correctly i think t was 2001 or later cant tremeber
@@ivsalimeni3049 Actually _Sleepwalker_ won the public Televote and got about 38% of all votes. However there was an "expert" jury consisting some minor celebrities and other assholes who got the last word and dropped Nightwish to 5th out of 6, which meant 3rd position in total votes.
Beautiful reaction to one of my most favorite songs. If you want to dive deeper into the ocean of Nightwish and Floor Jansen I recommend Romanticide (Wacken 2013), The Poet and the pendulum (Wembley 2015) and Ghost River (Wacken 2013). Honestly you can take any song from Wacken 2013, since this was an absolutly stunning performance. Some mentioned the show The Beste Zangers which is a Dutch TV show and took place end of last year. There Floor performs solo in an environment where every episode 6 singers perform for one. So it is not a competition but a fun art act. Floor performed Shallow from Lady Gaga there for example or the Phantom of the opera or Vilja Lied and and and... All worth to watch.
Now that is someone REACTING. When hearing something beautiful shows in your face and body. You, sir, have the kind of relationship with music I can appreciate.
hi, nice review: some Backround Infos regarding Floor: In 1997, Floor Jansen, then 16 years old, joined the band After Forever. After Mark Jansen, one of the band's founders and not related, left the formation in 2002 to form the band Epica, she was solely responsible for the lyrics. In 1999 she began studying at the Rock Academy in Tilburg and took singing lessons at the Fontys Conservatorium (both now part of the Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten by the private university operator Fontys). In 2004 she successfully completed her studies at the academy and began part-time musical and opera studies at the conservatory. Since then she has taught, among other things at the rock academy with her own course called "Wanna Be a Star?", Or in cooperation with a music school privately at home with singing lessons, band coaching and workshops. Since joining Nightwish as a permanent member (2013), she has had to stop regular teaching due to time constraints.
I just watched your newest nightwish reaction story time..thought I would comment here about your comment on how this song makes u feel after you seen it umpteen times..a good genuine reaction gives me the felling of seeing it again for the first time..its amazing how that works..good job helping me relive this experience..
A beautifull reaction to watch and this is one of only two ways to react on Nightwish music : with wide open mouth and eyes and the second is dancing, jumping and headbanging along. No one is indifferent. Please do more from the same concert (every song is great on its own way) or from Wembley or Tampere its all the same, great band s great no matter where is playing, Stay safe
Great reaction. So you like Eurovision. Nightwish was 2000 first in the admission with their song Sleepwalker, but in the finals finish jury didn't have guts to send them. That was my love at first sight to Nightwish. Next you should try 7 days to the Wolves, Wembley arena. Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
Daria Universe The funny part is that when the same thing happened with Lordi,the Finnish jury didn’t have the guts to NOT send them. The sad thing is that Eurovision killed Lordis career.
"7 days to the wolves" gets my vote too. The section "Light the fire, feast...Turn every poet loose." gives me goosebumps every time. Everything is right in that song. Marko and Floor together on vocals. That's unbeatable.
Deffinately one of the best Floorgasms I have seen. I felt the same when I listened/watched it for the first time some days ago and have been on a reaction video spree xD It is just too epic and great to see others react to this Dtch Goddess! The Netherlands produces some very, very good singers! :D So happy and proud to share origins to this country with them! :D
Nightwish Army landing. Looking forward to more reactions. I think all of us have the goosebumps during the end of this song, and love watching others get them as well, highly recommend Shoemaker from the latest album.
MY...FAVORITE...GLS..REACTION... EVER! It was like watching someone being hypnotized while having their feet tickled....in a good way. Subscribed and dinged. 🤘😛🤘
Helloo there Daniel here. NW army member :) Awesoooooome reaction ! You gotta do "7 days to the wolves " from Wembley 2015 Concert and "Dead boy's poem from Buenos Aires in 2018. It's a must bro. Loved your reaction soooo much ! ! ! You are amazingly true and honest. Hugs from Romania !!!
Floor Jansen is awesome. Now for an excellent change of pace. My Brother, I think you will love David Phelps ! Songs like No More Night, Just As I Am, The Dream, Water, Nessun Dorma, and many more... Live only please as he is more incredible live than anybody in the studio. Plus he's good for the soul ! I hope to see you soon, Brother..
Your reaction to Tuomas Holopainen's Magnum Opus Ghost Love Score tells us all we need to know about your love of great music of all genres. Your recognition of the greatness of Floor Jansen shows us you know how good she really is. Thank you. I suggest you watch every performance in this concert. It's hard to pick a favorite besides GLS but I especially like Romanticide(great guitar solo), Storytime(Ode to Peter Pan)and Song Of Myself.
This was a very intelligent and honest analysis/reaction I must say. I could relate to every facial expression you made in this video. Enjoy the rest of the ride with NW. Cheers!
I think I've seen that concert video at least 50 times and I still have a hard time drawing my eyes away to watch the reactor hahah, I'd suggest romanticide from the same concert, ya get to hear Marko sing too
React to Blind Guardian, in their live DVD from 2003 (its in RUclips). Amazing epic music, and Hansi, the singer, one of the best and more distintive voices in European metal. Songs to choose: Mirror Mirror, Another holy war, And then there was silence... for example.
107,000 views... I think half of those are mine. LOL I'm not a feeling-type personality, rarely show emotion, but this song... this song will do it. Every time I hear it, my reaction is similar to yours. One of very few songs that will bring tears to my eyes.
Another epic songs with two epics endings that you should listen are The poet and the Pendulum and the Shoemaker, in the last one you are going to listen opera literally. I LIKE YOUR VIDEO, GREAT AND NICE REACTION. REGARDS!
Floor still blows me away. I can’t even count how many times I’ve watched and/or heard her perform this, I still get moved on an emotional level. And I’m German/Norwegian, so that’s not normal for me... LoL
i dont know why or how this trend of reactions to Ghost Love Score came to be, but this has been my favourite song for almost a decade, and the more people know about this song the better. Spread the word!
Listen to Sancta Terra (Epica) with Floor as guest artist with full choir and orchestra or for more nightwish greatest show on earth.for just floor beste zangers a Netherlands music program with Henk Ploort excellent example of her versatility.
Hi, i am with you🤘 storytime 🤘 everdream, 🤘 romanticide 🤘 song of myself 🤘 dark chest of wondery🤘 😂😂🤘 all from wacken. Austria is looking forwarf to it 🤘 peace 2 u 🤘
Thats called a Floorgasm. The femals singer name is Floor Jansen (Dutch Valkyrie). Next I would suggest Romanticide, Ghost river, storytime, ever dream, i want my tears back and song of myself from this concert (Wacken 2013). if you want more epic and long like this take Greatest show on earth from Tampere 2016. More details from history from band will follow for sure from the incoming noghtwish army. stay safe
@@TheMuserResolute You also probably had one of the most visually apparent Floorgasms to date. To quote the younger generation, you looked "shooketh" :P
@@TheMuserResolute Bro, can you react on Floor + Henk Poort - Phantom of the Opera? I like that version much more than Nightwish version, it's incredibly beautiful. Henk Poort is an opera singer and original Dutch phantom. Their voices match nicely, the music arrangement is great (Marcel Fisser's band) and I love what Floor & Henk are doing on that stage, so it's not just the music but even their body language, the chemistry between them. Perfect! It's from the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers. Basically a bunch of top singers meet there and sing songs for each other. It's not a competition, just singing for each other, really nice concept. Besides Phantom, I would also recommend: * Floor - Vilja Lied (she's singing in German and it's a rock-ish opera style) she sung this for Henk * Floor - Que se siente (she's singing in Spanish for Rolf Sanchez, the guy sitting on the couch, it's his song, originally salsa) * Floor - Mama (singing in her native Dutch language) for Samantha (also sitting on the couch) who originally sings it. * Floor & Tim Akkerman - Shallow (by Lady Gaga)
@@Grievance_Studies_Affair_2018 i would love to see a Version with Marko and Floor as well, because Marko is so epic in the duett with Tarja back then.
She can growl, she can sing opera, she can be popy, shes the best, and she has another awesome singer accompanying her, the basist, Marco, is an epic singer too.
@@davidsosa538 ah i had no idea i rarely go to the comment section of youtube for reasons lol. I exposed nightwish to all my friends and they are typically blown away dare i say having a floorgasm lol.
now THAT was basically the same reaction when I first heard this song! The look on your face during the last part brought tears to my eyes....lol....just like the song did the first time I heard it. This song is what made me a Nightwish fan!!!
I have seen and heard this maybe 100 times, I still am almost pushed to having heart palpitations and on the verge of being brought to tears. It is more enjoyable seeing a professional that knows what they are listening to pick up the subtle nuances, all the details, and seeing them almost grasping their chest, feeling like I do listening to Floor and these excellent musicians. .
This song absolutely brings out every emotion no matter how many times I hear it. And boy are there a lot in this song, rage sorrow longing hope despair and it rollercoasters through all of them every time. This is absolutely the song I would want played at my funeral and this wacken version is the one I want
Beyonce: Im the Queen. Floor: Im the godess. Can you beat that? As a fan, this is the most beautiful performance i've heard in nightwishs entire history yes even besting tarja and I am primarily a lover of nightwishes music during the tarja era. There is still no singer that I have heard manage to top Floor in any regard. Its insane. I hate how underappreciated singers like floor are (on a global scale). I dont know if "beautiful" is a feeling, but thats what I felt when I heard it. Just sheer ... out of body. It was nuts and is everytime. This is how music should be.
Do you have any more recommendations....LOL Teach you about to meet the Nightwish Army. Pretty sure you will get a request or fifty today. Subscriptions about to blow up.. Your " Spoiler Alert " warning was sweet.The song was so good i don't think you edited anything. Always enjoy someone having their first Floorgsm. Now a Spoiler Alert for you....Metal is not all she does. Enjoy !
Beste Zangers 2019 a dutch TV show where prominent Dutch singers sing eachothers songs reinterpreted ,Floor sings : Shallow,Vilja Lied,Phantom of The Opera,Winner ,and much more
And to make it more interesting.. She sings it in Dutch, German, Spanish and English.... How do we call that 🤔🤔🤔🤔........... something like versatile😮 One of the best singer/ performer there is, and in this genre..GOAT 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hello @ Music Teacher Reacts (Mike)! Nightwish Army incoming here, your reaction just appeared on our radar.. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in front of a 82k+ people, at the Wacken Open Air festival. You know, what you felt in the last minute (goosebumps, full body shivers) have a name actually, it's called FLOORGASM (after Floor Jansen's name, the singer).. Watching that, I decided to subscribe, because you have the inner opening to became one of us.. Since this is your first Nightwish experience, I'll give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan: " 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-instrulmentalist 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.

Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
Hey Gabriel, can you add to your guide the Nightwish Holy Trinity just after Yours is an empty Hope? It would make this even more complete... and explain why those should be reacted last? Anyway, it's a great guide
@@EddyParera123 The main purpose of the message is to inform the new reactors about the history of the band. To this one I have added a list of suggestions for the following reactions. This list has become longer and longer, making the message more and more difficult to read. If I add the suggested links along with the necessary recommendations it will become huge. That's why I'm reluctant. But you could add them as a reply to this message, or as a separate message.
@@wanmac31 68 eli minä aloitin Pink Floyd'illa. eka EP jonka ostin oli "Atom hear Mother ".hehe. NW'tä vasta vuosi sitten ja jäin kliinni heti !! (Asun ruotsissa) Stay safe !
Welcome to the Nightwish Experience! NW Army checking in. Great reaction! Prediction: That was the longest you’ve sat with your mouth open & nothing coming out except CO2. 😁 Congrats on your first Floorgasm. 82,000 people there for this epic show! Floor has so many colors, tones, styles, range & dynamic ability & moves through all of them seamlessly at will. You should check out Floor’s performances on Beste Zangers. Vilja Lied & Phantom of the Opera among them. As for her native home, the Valkyrie Goddess of Nightwish, check out Romanticide next to see an extension of her awesome range in a bit heavier song. You’ll also meet Marco (bass). Live at Wacken 2013. Fans: How many live songs do you have that sound almost studio quality with awe inspiring performances? Nightwish: Yes. Enjoy!! 🔥🤙
Lovely reaction. I especially liked the dropping jaw at the end. :) This genre of music is called symphonic metal, is a mixture of metal and some symphonic elements, and Nightwish pretty much (co-)founded it back in the late nineties. They were founded in 1996 around a campfire in Finland and are going strong (in fact, stronger and ever stronger) until today; they just released a new album and were planning to be on tour now, but that has of course be postponed. The genre is popular in Europe and South America (more of an insider tip in North America, though), and Nightwish is its biggest band, selling millions of copies worldwide (their new album hit the charts at No. 1 in Germany, for example). The band is Finnish (Finland's biggest musical export, in fact), the vocalist (their third and IMO best) is Dutch, a sixth member who you haven't seen yet is English. Personnel: Floor Jansen - vocals (since 2012) Tuomas Holopainen - keyboards, main songwriter, band founder and leader Emppu Vuorinen - guitar Marko Hietala - bass guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals Jukka Nevalainen (on this recording, later replaced by Kai Hahto for health reasons) - drums Troy Donockley (not on this song) - uilleann pipes, whistles, bouzouki, guitar, vocals The band has had three vocalists: founding member Tarja Turunen (Finnish), who sang (now sings as a solo artist) in a dramatic operatic soprano style throughout, which was very unusual at the time combined with metal and helped spark the whole genre. She was fired in 2005 and replaced in 2006 by Anette Olzon (Swedish), who was more of pop rock singer and didn't really fit, especially live she couldn't keep up with singing Tarja's parts. She was fired mid-tour in 2012 (there's been some icky drama about both firings) - she has her own band now, The Dark Element - and replaced by Floor Jansen from the Netherlands, the vocalist in this recording. Floor has been a professional metal singer since she joined her first band, After Forever, in 1997 at age 16, has several years of musical education (musical theater and a year of opera) under her belt and used to work as a vocal coach. Her first band After Forever split up in 2009, she formed her second band, ReVamp, which has two albums and existed until 2016, and doing everything herself down to management and booking, Floor had a severe burnout, from which she was still recovering when Nightwish called her to ask her if she could step in midtour. She hopped on a plane right away and had 48 hours before her first gig with the band, in which she had to learn the setlist. Along with Troy, she was made permanent in 2013. I guess you could tell, but she is a world-class singer, a lot more versatile still than what you have heard here: she can sing opera, sweet ballads, jazz, scream, growl (!), belt like hell... Over the years, the band has pushed the boundaries of their style and was very versatile to start with. No two songs on an album really sound the same, especially in the last four albums; Tuomas really is an outstanding songwriter with an ear for good melodies and structure. They go from melancholic ballads to Celtic folk rock/metal to prog rock/metal epics like this one to outright thrash metal. They normally go heavier and faster than Ghost Love Score. I'll append a list of what I think about covers their spectrum (not completely, though, they are just too versatile) below. When you react to them, you should do the live shows, especially since they have Floor, who elevates almost every song she does and makes it into a stellar performance. There are four great concerts with Floor to choose from: Wacken 2013 (this one), Wembley Arena 2015, Tampere 2015, Buenos Aires 2018. With Tarja, their first singer, who is very, very good too in her own way and worth checking out too, there's "From Wishes to Eternity" (2000) and "End of an Era" (2005), both filmed in Finland. "End of an Era" is the very last concert with Tarja, right after the show she was given an open letter by the other band members to tell her that she was fired. (They guys in the band have matured a bit since then, and the atmosphere in the band today is finally friendly, cooperative, and brotherly. Might have something to do with Floor and Troy too.) Okay, here's my list of songs that you might want to check out: Romanticide, live at Wacken 2013 (heavy heavy metal) ruclips.net/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/видео.html Song of Myself, live at Wacken 2013 (thrashy metal) ruclips.net/video/lQu5QjidHWg/видео.html Ghost River, live at Wacken 2013 (metal, great duet between Floor and Marko) ruclips.net/video/05eitd-EA6I/видео.html Dark Chest of Wonders, Wacken 2013 (metal, high-energy opener to this show) ruclips.net/video/OvOD6xecph4/видео.html Ever Dream, Wacken 2013 (pop rock/metal with glorious vocals by Floor) ruclips.net/video/YwGSAFarHRg/видео.html Storytime, Wacken 2013 (poppy metal with more great vocals by Floor) ruclips.net/video/pvkYwOJZONU/видео.html -- In fact, all of Wacken 2013 is great, just pick any song -- Sleeping Sun, live at Tampere 2015 (beatiful ballad) ruclips.net/video/rsotlzr9wNw/видео.html My Walden, live at Wembley 2015 (Celtic-infused rock) ruclips.net/video/knqeI807ZlY/видео.html Nemo, live at Wembley 2015 (was a minor hit in the US back in 2004) ruclips.net/video/dR1gH5aQWBU/видео.html Weak Fantasy, live Tampere 2015 (heavy, critical of religion) ruclips.net/video/AN239Pbqbjo/видео.html Yours Is An Empty Hope, live at Wembley 2015 (very heavy, with Floor growling in the chorus) ruclips.net/video/vyLsU7Q333k/видео.html Alpenglow, live Wembley 2015 (pop metal with a great positive vibe, for when your day needs brightening) ruclips.net/video/FrJvKZNEh7g/видео.html 7 Days to the Wolves, live Wembley 2015 (personal favorite of mine, heavy, epic, energetic, watch Floor turn Warrior Queen) ruclips.net/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/видео.html Sahara. live at Tampa Bay 2015? 2016?, from a smaller venue (Middle Eastern tinged, great vocals again, one of my favorites) ruclips.net/video/lTvYfLa4Wlk/видео.html Stargazers, live Tampere 2015 (old Tarja operatic song, fast and power-metalish) ruclips.net/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/видео.html I Want My Tears Back, live in Buenos Aires 2018 (Celtic party metal, watch Floor tear it up on stage) ruclips.net/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/видео.html Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, live Buenos Aires 2018 (heavy, fast, great Floor/Marko duet, olympic vocals) ruclips.net/video/t26r_vAYQ0Q/видео.html Dead Boy's Poem, live Buenos Aires 2018 (very intimate and personal power ballad, sung touchingly by Floor) ruclips.net/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/видео.html Slaying the Dreamer, live Buenos Aires 2018 (heavy, thrashy metal) ruclips.net/video/wA44tjaP5n0/видео.html Then there's the other two big epics: The Poet and the Pendulum, live Wembley 2015, and The Greatest Show On Earth (I prefer the Wembley version here, better intro, darker atmosphere, famous guest star at the end, but most fans want Tampere 2015), but I would put these off until later. They require some research as to lyrics and subject matter. And then there's the new album entitled HUMAN. :||: NATURE., which has lyric videos on YT for every song except for the song Noise, which has a superb "video video". Also, you might check out Floor's performances on a 2019 Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers, which finally catapulted her to stardom in her home country and proved what an incredibly versatile and powerful singer she is. Look for YT user "jenniezelf", she has a lot of videos from the show with English subtitles. So, if you decide to keep reacting to Nightwish, I think you have quite an enjoyable journey ahead.
The suggestion of the jenniezelf videos is a very good one. She does English translations of both before and after the songs that allow a bit of insight into the song choice and the response of the song focus.
I truly believe the version of "The Greatest Show on Earth" that most people prefer and the most EPIC version is the version from Tampere. Just saying, there's a very unique auditory surprise during this performance that you won't find in any of the other ones. PEACE!
The most beautiful rabitt hole I have ever fallen into. You have just heard the unmatched Floor Jensen, you can choose nightwish songs or her solo on Beste zangers. You've barely tipped your toes into her talent. Keep digging it's an extremely rewarding journey.
I am totally sick of people trying to turn every reaction channel into a Nightwish channel. They are probably all the same as the rest of dumb down shed head people. Who actually believe that covid 19 is real. When it’s one of the most obvious hoax’s the world has ever seen.
tbf its not THAT of a solo. Even more for me it gets a bit cheesy after some many times listening to it xD (thus said, it's not bad. But, you know..^^)
@@Tearnofear It was never meant to be an impressive solo just a part of the song that fits nicely and appreciate that the whole band is executing the performance amazingly
@@allbies i know ;) You yourself wrote it's not meant to be a solo by all means. So there's that^^ For me it stays a part of the song i don't like that much. o/
Honestly man, yours was the most genuine reaction I've seen.......and I've seen a lot of reactions to this song. I watched the anticipation building on your face.....expecting something big to come and when it did, your entire body tensed up as your eyes grew simultaneously. Very genuine my friend. Thank you and well done 👏
Great reaction... 3.42 into the video and already lost for words... His brain is trying to process everything he sees and hears.... That's the magic off nightwish and floor. Subscribed👌🤘🤘🤘🤘
Wow for a moment I was worried about you 😎👍. You surely got floored 💥💥💥. Issn't it amazing to listen to pure real live musical art whether it's the fantastic sound the band is creating or the vocal performance of Floor Jansen, The Godess. I suggest 'Storytime' from Nightwish from the same concert LIve in Wacken 2013 as next song.
I would suggest that you listen and react to their new album, released in april. It is absolutely brilliant. This is the first song called Music: ruclips.net/video/rwz7-h9LCDU/видео.html Thank you for the reaction! The band is phenomenal!! 🖤
Definitely second that you should listen to thier new album. It showcases the band's amazing range of sounds and talents. It actually has 2 discs, the second being all instrumentals
You ask what do we Nightwish fans feel with this song? Well, you described your feelings as 'blown away' and 'goosebumps all over', well, it's been like this for the past 16 years for me EVERY TIME I listen to this song since it came out back in 2004 and to top it all Floor's rendition is like the icing of the cake. Absolutely marvelous. Like I say:EVERY FUCKING TIME.
12:21 Priceless! Admiration, disbelief, excitement, chills & goosebumps, heart skips a beat or two, then magic happens and at last wonderful floorgasm... 😁
This was my 1st Nightwish experience. I’d never heard of them. THANK YOU for introducing me to amazing, technically and scientifically beautiful music. I love knowing there are others like me out there who FEEL the music as emotion and crave these experiences.
Congratulation sir, you are by far the best reactor on the net! I am “addicted” to reaction vids and have viewed many sites. I say this because of your utmost respect for the artists musicality, vocals and production by not speaking over/excessive pauses at the wrong places or pontificating on your music expertise like so many of your fellow reactors, while they are performing! Spot on, thank you.
I always think if someone is blown away by this song, then they won't believe it when they see more of this Wacken show. It's a masterclass of live performance 🤘
This poor guy, I can tell by his reaction that nobody warned him xD did him dirty So for heavier stuff I'd recommend Ghost River and Romaticide; for chills that will make you think you stuck your head in a freezer overnight try Shoemaker. Other than Shoemaker which is only like a month old, your best bet is to continue with the versions of songs from this specific concert. Welcome to the Nightwish Army and prepare to be boarded
Shoemaker. I never thought there would be a NW song that will stand above Ghost Love Score for me.. Shoemaker does. They both made me weep. Absolutely brilliant!
Haha, your face was an open Floorgasm! Actually, I think you might have set the Guinness Book of World Records for longest continuous Floorgasm. Bloody good show, mate! :P
I have watched this video probably a thousand times and every time, my eyes fill with tears. I don't know that there are any pieces of music in the modern era that match the mastery of this piece, from composition to instrumentation, to vocals, and performance. I swear, I would pay the full price of a concert ticket to see this one song performed live!
haha. Awesome reaction. Seemed genuine. Thats exactly how I and alot of the fans feel everytime we listen to Nightwish. You will feel that way on every song. Make sure and react to the live performances suggested if you do any.
Thanks soo much to everyone who has kindly commented. I'm relieved to know there's a scientific reason for what I felt at the end of this song (and that it has a proper name)😂 In the past, I would be going through and replying to everyone's comment. It's super difficult for me to do that right now, but I promise I am scrolling through everyone's comments and seeing them and the recommendations. Thank you again and there'll be more NightWish reactions to come!
they competed in eurovision with song SLeepwalker and got i think 2nd place or were disqualified because the song was "too heavy" if i remeber correctly i think t was 2001 or later cant tremeber
@@ivsalimeni3049 Actually _Sleepwalker_ won the public Televote and got about 38% of all votes. However there was an "expert" jury consisting some minor celebrities and other assholes who got the last word and dropped Nightwish to 5th out of 6, which meant 3rd position in total votes.
@@TK8866275 true,it was looong time ago i wasnt sure but i remeber something like that,as i said it was loooong time ago :)
Beautiful reaction to one of my most favorite songs. If you want to dive deeper into the ocean of Nightwish and Floor Jansen I recommend Romanticide (Wacken 2013), The Poet and the pendulum (Wembley 2015) and Ghost River (Wacken 2013). Honestly you can take any song from Wacken 2013, since this was an absolutly stunning performance.
Some mentioned the show The Beste Zangers which is a Dutch TV show and took place end of last year. There Floor performs solo in an environment where every episode 6 singers perform for one. So it is not a competition but a fun art act. Floor performed Shallow from Lady Gaga there for example or the Phantom of the opera or Vilja Lied and and and... All worth to watch.
Like I said yesterday....LOL...About have any recommendations?......12K views in 24 hours....LOL
Now that is someone REACTING. When hearing something beautiful shows in your face and body. You, sir, have the kind of relationship with music I can appreciate.
Greatest performance I've ever seen. Every time. Hundreds of times now. Just. Amazing. Nice reaction.
hi, nice review: some Backround Infos regarding Floor:
In 1997, Floor Jansen, then 16 years old, joined the band After Forever. After Mark Jansen, one of the band's founders and not related, left the formation in 2002 to form the band Epica, she was solely responsible for the lyrics.
In 1999 she began studying at the Rock Academy in Tilburg and took singing lessons at the Fontys Conservatorium (both now part of the Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten by the private university operator Fontys). In 2004 she successfully completed her studies at the academy and began part-time musical and opera studies at the conservatory.
Since then she has taught, among other things at the rock academy with her own course called "Wanna Be a Star?", Or in cooperation with a music school privately at home with singing lessons, band coaching and workshops.
Since joining Nightwish as a permanent member (2013), she has had to stop regular teaching due to time constraints.
I just watched your newest nightwish reaction story time..thought I would comment here about your comment on how this song makes u feel after you seen it umpteen times..a good genuine reaction gives me the felling of seeing it again for the first time..its amazing how that works..good job helping me relive this experience..
I have to work on my thesis, but here I am, watching another reaction to see floorgasms , love them
A beautifull reaction to watch and this is one of only two ways to react on Nightwish music : with wide open mouth and eyes and the second is dancing, jumping and headbanging along. No one is indifferent. Please do more from the same concert (every song is great on its own way) or from Wembley or Tampere its all the same, great band s great no matter where is playing, Stay safe
Great reaction. So you like Eurovision. Nightwish was 2000 first in the admission with their song Sleepwalker, but in the finals finish jury didn't have guts to send them. That was my love at first sight to Nightwish.
Next you should try 7 days to the Wolves, Wembley arena.
Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
Daria Universe The funny part is that when the same thing happened with Lordi,the Finnish jury didn’t have the guts to NOT send them.
The sad thing is that Eurovision killed Lordis career.
"7 days to the wolves" gets my vote too. The section "Light the fire, feast...Turn every poet loose." gives me goosebumps every time. Everything is right in that song. Marko and Floor together on vocals. That's unbeatable.
@@fiskedrag That makes us happy, they didn't send Nightwish😀
Your facial expressions convey what’s happening in the music better than any words ever could fella! Genuinely refreshing to watch this reaction!
Propably the most honest reaction video I have ever seen. This guy really didn't know what was coming.
Great reaction!! One of longest Floorgasms I've seen!! Welcome to the Nightwish Army. I'm subscribed!!
I would love to see everyone that watches this for the first time have this type of reaction which is as it should be!!!
Deffinately one of the best Floorgasms I have seen. I felt the same when I listened/watched it for the first time some days ago and have been on a reaction video spree xD It is just too epic and great to see others react to this Dtch Goddess! The Netherlands produces some very, very good singers! :D So happy and proud to share origins to this country with them! :D
Goosebumps....no words....and sometimes tears.
Oh man, watching your face through all of that was the best! It felt like it was giving you a hundred thoughts a second but you couldn't bare to stop!
Same concert... Song of my self... Absolutely great.. And welcome to family!
Nightwish Army landing.
Looking forward to more reactions.
I think all of us have the goosebumps during the end of this song, and love watching others get them as well, highly recommend Shoemaker from the latest album.
never gets old watching people reation to Nigthwish and Floor!
MY...FAVORITE...GLS..REACTION...
EVER! It was like watching someone being hypnotized while having their feet tickled....in a good way.
Subscribed and dinged. 🤘😛🤘
Best reaction yet to Nightwish.
this is magical music. Not reacting with every fiber of yourself would be indicative of some kind of damage. This goes through your heart and soul.
I love how she smiles at 12:51 cause she knows that she even nailed this one
12:38...hahaha...a stupendous floorgasm right there...🤣
Great reaction, thank you..😊👍
Helloo there Daniel here. NW army member :) Awesoooooome reaction ! You gotta do "7 days to the wolves " from Wembley 2015 Concert and "Dead boy's poem from Buenos Aires in 2018. It's a must bro. Loved your reaction soooo much ! ! ! You are amazingly true and honest. Hugs from Romania !!!
Floor Jansen is awesome. Now for an excellent change of pace. My Brother, I think you will love David Phelps ! Songs like No More Night, Just As I Am, The Dream, Water, Nessun Dorma, and many more... Live only please as he is more incredible live than anybody in the studio. Plus he's good for the soul ! I hope to see you soon, Brother..
Nothing makes me tear up like this song
Your reaction to Tuomas Holopainen's Magnum Opus Ghost Love Score tells us all we need to know about your love of great music of all genres. Your recognition of the greatness of Floor Jansen shows us you know how good she really is. Thank you.
I suggest you watch every performance in this concert. It's hard to pick a favorite besides GLS but I especially like Romanticide(great guitar solo), Storytime(Ode to Peter Pan)and Song Of Myself.
Just one word: Shoemaker :) You will LOVE this Song! (From there new Album)
What we felt? We felt, just like you, multiple FLOORGASMS!
This was a very intelligent and honest analysis/reaction I must say. I could relate to every facial expression you made in this video. Enjoy the rest of the ride with NW. Cheers!
I cry EVERY TIME at the end...every f...time... You've just experimented the Floorgasm... They are touring in 2020!! 🤘🤘
welcome to the nightwish army & family !
I think I've seen that concert video at least 50 times and I still have a hard time drawing my eyes away to watch the reactor hahah, I'd suggest romanticide from the same concert, ya get to hear Marko sing too
I have to congratz you, because you are one of the few who reacts on the timing in the beginning of this song. 1.2.3.4.1.2.3.4.1.2.3.1.2.3.4……………….
React to Blind Guardian, in their live DVD from 2003 (its in RUclips). Amazing epic music, and Hansi, the singer, one of the best and more distintive voices in European metal.
Songs to choose: Mirror Mirror, Another holy war, And then there was silence... for example.
this was the best reaction ever
107,000 views... I think half of those are mine. LOL
I'm not a feeling-type personality, rarely show emotion, but this song... this song will do it. Every time I hear it, my reaction is similar to yours. One of very few songs that will bring tears to my eyes.
Best reaction! You feeling...
Another epic songs with two epics endings that you should listen are The poet and the Pendulum and the Shoemaker, in the last one you are going to listen opera literally. I LIKE YOUR VIDEO, GREAT AND NICE REACTION. REGARDS!
Floor still blows me away. I can’t even count how many times I’ve watched and/or heard her perform this, I still get moved on an emotional level. And I’m German/Norwegian, so that’s not normal for me... LoL
i dont know why or how this trend of reactions to Ghost Love Score came to be, but this has been my favourite song for almost a decade, and the more people know about this song the better. Spread the word!
I love the jaw hitting the floor moments....
Listen to Sancta Terra (Epica) with Floor as guest artist with full choir and orchestra or for more nightwish greatest show on earth.for just floor beste zangers a Netherlands music program with Henk Ploort excellent example of her versatility.
Came for Nightwish, stayed for the Lordi reference!
You just experienced a floorgasm ;)
Music isn't science.
According to Karl Philip Emmanuel Bach, also known as Bach junior.
He said, the purpose of music is to to stir our hearts.
Prog rock/metal, You should watch this song at Tampere
I like to follow the Nightwish army and recommend Devin Townsend - live at royal albert hall, or Kingdom
Dude, close your mouth, you are attracting flies ;) But yeah, that's what Foor's singing will do to a person...great reaction video!
NightWish - Nemo from the same concert is a lot like this one.
Hi, i am with you🤘 storytime 🤘 everdream, 🤘 romanticide 🤘 song of myself 🤘 dark chest of wondery🤘 😂😂🤘 all from wacken. Austria is looking forwarf to it 🤘 peace 2 u 🤘
CLEAN UP IN AISLE ONE!
🤘😛🤘
"I may skip over your favorite part" ... Oh, summer child, you know nothing.
I've watched 50+ Floor reactions and the Floorgasm still gets me EVERY time.
Never gets old 😁
Thats called a Floorgasm. The femals singer name is Floor Jansen (Dutch Valkyrie). Next I would suggest Romanticide, Ghost river, storytime, ever dream, i want my tears back and song of myself from this concert (Wacken 2013). if you want more epic and long like this take Greatest show on earth from Tampere 2016.
More details from history from band will follow for sure from the incoming noghtwish army. stay safe
She is My Sin and Song of Myself(Wacken 2013) and Weak Fantasy Live Tampere, and The Poet And The Pendulum Live Wembly
where are the poet and the pendulum? the best song of nightwish history.
Poet and the pendulum is one of their best but i think you need time to get to know the band and their history better to understand this song
The famous Floorgasm still gets me every.time. She's just perfection. The only reason I went from "meh." To "omfg" about Nightwish.
Floorgasm hahahha
Nice reaction. Very smart to NEVER edit a Nightwish song . The Backlash would be epic. Lol
I dodged a bullet and was floored in the process 😂 Thanks for watching!
@@TheMuserResolute You also probably had one of the most visually apparent Floorgasms to date. To quote the younger generation, you looked "shooketh" :P
@@TheMuserResolute Bro, can you react on Floor + Henk Poort - Phantom of the Opera?
I like that version much more than Nightwish version, it's incredibly beautiful. Henk Poort is an opera singer and original Dutch phantom. Their voices match nicely, the music arrangement is great (Marcel Fisser's band) and I love what Floor & Henk are doing on that stage, so it's not just the music but even their body language, the chemistry between them. Perfect!
It's from the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers. Basically a bunch of top singers meet there and sing songs for each other. It's not a competition, just singing for each other, really nice concept. Besides Phantom, I would also recommend:
* Floor - Vilja Lied (she's singing in German and it's a rock-ish opera style) she sung this for Henk
* Floor - Que se siente (she's singing in Spanish for Rolf Sanchez, the guy sitting on the couch, it's his song, originally salsa)
* Floor - Mama (singing in her native Dutch language) for Samantha (also sitting on the couch) who originally sings it.
* Floor & Tim Akkerman - Shallow (by Lady Gaga)
its like if you react they will come...
@@Grievance_Studies_Affair_2018 i would love to see a Version with Marko and Floor as well, because Marko is so epic in the duett with Tarja back then.
She can growl, she can sing opera, she can be popy, shes the best, and she has another awesome singer accompanying her, the basist, Marco, is an epic singer too.
I heard him sing in their phantom cover (I believe it was him. Thought he was amazing! Thanks for watching
@@TheMuserResolute yeah Marco and their first singer Tarja Turunen 🎩😍
@@petrkvapil4139 Some People say Floor is the Female Fredie Mercury

I love watching someone having their first Floorgasm!!! Never gets old! Your channel is about to explode!
Music react youtubers should pay Floor Jansen
I'm stealing the term floorgasm lol
@@chaptheswagsire Go ahead, It´s been around for quite a while
@@davidsosa538 ah i had no idea i rarely go to the comment section of youtube for reasons lol. I exposed nightwish to all my friends and they are typically blown away dare i say having a floorgasm lol.
Floorgasm. Freaking love it.
Best floorgasm I've seen in a while! That paralysing slack jawed look. Priceless!
Actually laughed so hard at this comment :') !
Never get's old indeed.
now THAT was basically the same reaction when I first heard this song! The look on your face during the last part brought tears to my eyes....lol....just like the song did the first time I heard it. This song is what made me a Nightwish fan!!!
I have seen and heard this maybe 100 times, I still am almost pushed to having heart palpitations and on the verge of being brought to tears.
It is more enjoyable seeing a professional that knows what they are listening to pick up the subtle nuances, all the details, and seeing them almost grasping their chest, feeling like I do listening to Floor and these excellent musicians. .
This song absolutely brings out every emotion no matter how many times I hear it. And boy are there a lot in this song, rage sorrow longing hope despair and it rollercoasters through all of them every time. This is absolutely the song I would want played at my funeral and this wacken version is the one I want
Beyonce: Im the Queen.
Floor: Im the godess. Can you beat that?
As a fan, this is the most beautiful performance i've heard in nightwishs entire history yes even besting tarja and I am primarily a lover of nightwishes music during the tarja era. There is still no singer that I have heard manage to top Floor in any regard. Its insane. I hate how underappreciated singers like floor are (on a global scale). I dont know if "beautiful" is a feeling, but thats what I felt when I heard it. Just sheer ... out of body. It was nuts and is everytime. This is how music should be.
Beyoncé: What is a Goddess to a non-believer!?
**Ghost Love Score**
Floor: Do you believe now?
As a true Goddes, she would never say she is one.
Do you have any more recommendations....LOL Teach you about to meet the Nightwish Army. Pretty sure you will get a request or fifty today. Subscriptions about to blow up.. Your " Spoiler Alert " warning was sweet.The song was so good i don't think you edited anything. Always enjoy someone having their first Floorgsm. Now a Spoiler Alert for you....Metal is not all she does. Enjoy !
Beste Zangers 2019 a dutch TV show where prominent Dutch singers sing eachothers songs reinterpreted ,Floor sings : Shallow,Vilja Lied,Phantom of The Opera,Winner ,and much more
agree Nico
And to make it more interesting.. She sings it in Dutch, German, Spanish and English.... How do we call that 🤔🤔🤔🤔........... something like versatile😮
One of the best singer/ performer there is, and in this genre..GOAT 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hello @ Music Teacher Reacts (Mike)! Nightwish Army incoming here, your reaction just appeared on our radar..
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in front of a 82k+ people, at the Wacken Open Air festival. You know, what you felt in the last minute (goosebumps, full body shivers) have a name actually, it's called FLOORGASM (after Floor Jansen's name, the singer).. Watching that, I decided to subscribe, because you have the inner opening to became one of us..
Since this is your first Nightwish experience, I'll give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan:
" 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-instrulmentalist 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 "

Thank you. I'm glad it has a name! Will look at your recommendations :) I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment :)
@@TheMuserResolute This is one of the best guides to Nightwish. Awesome reaction man! Nightwish army is here to stay! Keep doing the LIVE stuff! :D
Hey Gabriel, can you add to your guide the Nightwish Holy Trinity just after Yours is an empty Hope? It would make this even more complete... and explain why those should be reacted last?
Anyway, it's a great guide
@@EddyParera123 The main purpose of the message is to inform the new reactors about the history of the band. To this one I have added a list of suggestions for the following reactions. This list has become longer and longer, making the message more and more difficult to read. If I add the suggested links along with the necessary recommendations it will become huge. That's why I'm reluctant. But you could add them as a reply to this message, or as a separate message.
I effing love it when you guys show up! Actually, I think Im a member of the Army now.
That final high note , every time, without fail, brings tears to my eyes
That's one of their "easier" songs, and just the bait🎣
If you thought that was good.....
So true, lure them in to the rabbit hole harr harr. :)
Hi. You haven't heard anything yet. Your just getting to know Floor's voice. Every time Floor sings it is always perfect.

Welcome to the Nightwish Experience! NW Army checking in. Great reaction! Prediction: That was the longest you’ve sat with your mouth open & nothing coming out except CO2. 😁 Congrats on your first Floorgasm. 82,000 people there for this epic show! Floor has so many colors, tones, styles, range & dynamic ability & moves through all of them seamlessly at will. You should check out Floor’s performances on Beste Zangers. Vilja Lied & Phantom of the Opera among them. As for her native home, the Valkyrie Goddess of Nightwish, check out Romanticide next to see an extension of her awesome range in a bit heavier song. You’ll also meet Marco (bass). Live at Wacken 2013. Fans: How many live songs do you have that sound almost studio quality with awe inspiring performances? Nightwish: Yes. Enjoy!! 🔥🤙
Lovely reaction. I especially liked the dropping jaw at the end. :)
This genre of music is called symphonic metal, is a mixture of metal and some symphonic elements, and Nightwish pretty much (co-)founded it back in the late nineties. They were founded in 1996 around a campfire in Finland and are going strong (in fact, stronger and ever stronger) until today; they just released a new album and were planning to be on tour now, but that has of course be postponed. The genre is popular in Europe and South America (more of an insider tip in North America, though), and Nightwish is its biggest band, selling millions of copies worldwide (their new album hit the charts at No. 1 in Germany, for example).
The band is Finnish (Finland's biggest musical export, in fact), the vocalist (their third and IMO best) is Dutch, a sixth member who you haven't seen yet is English. Personnel:
Floor Jansen - vocals (since 2012)
Tuomas Holopainen - keyboards, main songwriter, band founder and leader
Emppu Vuorinen - guitar
Marko Hietala - bass guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals
Jukka Nevalainen (on this recording, later replaced by Kai Hahto for health reasons) - drums
Troy Donockley (not on this song) - uilleann pipes, whistles, bouzouki, guitar, vocals
The band has had three vocalists: founding member Tarja Turunen (Finnish), who sang (now sings as a solo artist) in a dramatic operatic soprano style throughout, which was very unusual at the time combined with metal and helped spark the whole genre. She was fired in 2005 and replaced in 2006 by Anette Olzon (Swedish), who was more of pop rock singer and didn't really fit, especially live she couldn't keep up with singing Tarja's parts. She was fired mid-tour in 2012 (there's been some icky drama about both firings) - she has her own band now, The Dark Element - and replaced by Floor Jansen from the Netherlands, the vocalist in this recording.
Floor has been a professional metal singer since she joined her first band, After Forever, in 1997 at age 16, has several years of musical education (musical theater and a year of opera) under her belt and used to work as a vocal coach. Her first band After Forever split up in 2009, she formed her second band, ReVamp, which has two albums and existed until 2016, and doing everything herself down to management and booking, Floor had a severe burnout, from which she was still recovering when Nightwish called her to ask her if she could step in midtour. She hopped on a plane right away and had 48 hours before her first gig with the band, in which she had to learn the setlist. Along with Troy, she was made permanent in 2013. I guess you could tell, but she is a world-class singer, a lot more versatile still than what you have heard here: she can sing opera, sweet ballads, jazz, scream, growl (!), belt like hell...
Over the years, the band has pushed the boundaries of their style and was very versatile to start with. No two songs on an album really sound the same, especially in the last four albums; Tuomas really is an outstanding songwriter with an ear for good melodies and structure. They go from melancholic ballads to Celtic folk rock/metal to prog rock/metal epics like this one to outright thrash metal. They normally go heavier and faster than Ghost Love Score. I'll append a list of what I think about covers their spectrum (not completely, though, they are just too versatile) below.
When you react to them, you should do the live shows, especially since they have Floor, who elevates almost every song she does and makes it into a stellar performance. There are four great concerts with Floor to choose from: Wacken 2013 (this one), Wembley Arena 2015, Tampere 2015, Buenos Aires 2018. With Tarja, their first singer, who is very, very good too in her own way and worth checking out too, there's "From Wishes to Eternity" (2000) and "End of an Era" (2005), both filmed in Finland. "End of an Era" is the very last concert with Tarja, right after the show she was given an open letter by the other band members to tell her that she was fired. (They guys in the band have matured a bit since then, and the atmosphere in the band today is finally friendly, cooperative, and brotherly. Might have something to do with Floor and Troy too.)

Then there's the other two big epics: The Poet and the Pendulum, live Wembley 2015, and The Greatest Show On Earth (I prefer the Wembley version here, better intro, darker atmosphere, famous guest star at the end, but most fans want Tampere 2015), but I would put these off until later. They require some research as to lyrics and subject matter.
And then there's the new album entitled HUMAN. :||: NATURE., which has lyric videos on YT for every song except for the song Noise, which has a superb "video video". Also, you might check out Floor's performances on a 2019 Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers, which finally catapulted her to stardom in her home country and proved what an incredibly versatile and powerful singer she is. Look for YT user "jenniezelf", she has a lot of videos from the show with English subtitles.
So, if you decide to keep reacting to Nightwish, I think you have quite an enjoyable journey ahead.
The suggestion of the jenniezelf videos is a very good one. She does English translations of both before and after the songs that allow a bit of insight into the song choice and the response of the song focus.
I truly believe the version of "The Greatest Show on Earth" that most people prefer and the most EPIC version is the version from Tampere. Just saying, there's a very unique auditory surprise during this performance that you won't find in any of the other ones. PEACE!
@@krakon6565 I can do without the fireworks. The intro is better at Wembley and you see more of the screens.
@@oliphant2848 That's cool, you like what you like. I can respect that bro. I like spectacle, big shows and uniqueness. Take care.
The most beautiful rabitt hole I have ever fallen into. You have just heard the unmatched Floor Jensen, you can choose nightwish songs or her solo on Beste zangers. You've barely tipped your toes into her talent. Keep digging it's an extremely rewarding journey.
Sorry mate , it is Floor Jansen .
Nightwish army is coming 🧐🤘
Nightwish Army appeared between you typing IS and COMING lol
@@gmurph from 1998.... this was like 1006 time...or I lost a count... and I did...
I am totally sick of people trying to turn every reaction channel into a Nightwish channel. They are probably all the same as the rest of dumb down shed head people. Who actually believe that covid 19 is real. When it’s one of the most obvious hoax’s the world has ever seen.
@@shspurs1342 thank you for showing us all how stupid you are but we really do not care
There is only 1 rule in metal music. Never pause a song during a guitar solo!
tbf its not THAT of a solo. Even more for me it gets a bit cheesy after some many times listening to it xD (thus said, it's not bad. But, you know..^^)
@@Tearnofear It was never meant to be an impressive solo just a part of the song that fits nicely and appreciate that the whole band is executing the performance amazingly
@@allbies i know ;) You yourself wrote it's not meant to be a solo by all means. So there's that^^
For me it stays a part of the song i don't like that much.
o/
well... there are much worse solos to pause at... imagine doing that at the Heaven and Hell solo... or Child in Time (where the solo is half the song)
tbh if i have to choose between interupting floor or emppu.... yeah... easy choice!
Honestly man, yours was the most genuine reaction I've seen.......and I've seen a lot of reactions to this song. I watched the anticipation building on your face.....expecting something big to come and when it did, your entire body tensed up as your eyes grew simultaneously. Very genuine my friend. Thank you and well done 👏
I love to watch someone’s physical reactions as they travel through this song. It’s like magic.
Just don't forget to breath man
It happened everytime I went in to edit
Q: What's the secret to kick-starting a music commentary channel on RUclips?
A: Could we interest you in some Nightwish, Sir?
Great reaction... 3.42 into the video and already lost for words...
His brain is trying to process everything he sees and hears....
That's the magic off nightwish and floor.
Subscribed👌🤘🤘🤘🤘
Yes goosebumps are a frequent reaction to Floor. I have heard this many times and still get goosebumps.
Wow for a moment I was worried about you 😎👍. You surely got floored 💥💥💥. Issn't it amazing to listen to pure real live musical art whether it's the fantastic sound the band is creating or the vocal performance of Floor Jansen, The Godess.
I suggest 'Storytime' from Nightwish from the same concert LIve in Wacken 2013 as next song.
The whole concert is amazing. Storytime at the same gig is probably best next one to watch.
I would suggest that you listen and react to their new album, released in april. It is absolutely brilliant. This is the first song called Music: ruclips.net/video/rwz7-h9LCDU/видео.html Thank you for the reaction! The band is phenomenal!! 🖤
Definitely second that you should listen to thier new album. It showcases the band's amazing range of sounds and talents. It actually has 2 discs, the second being all instrumentals
Yes, I second that as well! It is very diverse, and they all excel on it. It is such a masterpiece 🌻
You ask what do we Nightwish fans feel with this song? Well, you described your feelings as 'blown away' and 'goosebumps all over', well, it's been like this for the past 16 years for me EVERY TIME I listen to this song since it came out back in 2004 and to top it all Floor's rendition is like the icing of the cake. Absolutely marvelous. Like I say:EVERY FUCKING TIME.
12:21 Priceless! Admiration, disbelief, excitement, chills & goosebumps, heart skips a beat or two, then magic happens and at last wonderful floorgasm... 😁
Nightwish - Poet and the Pendulum / Floor and Henk Version of Phantom of the Opera
yes please
Next Nightwish - Storytime from Wacken 2013!!!
What a sincere reaction (floorgasm), just lovely stuff!
This was my 1st Nightwish experience. I’d never heard of them. THANK YOU for introducing me to amazing, technically and scientifically beautiful music. I love knowing there are others like me out there who FEEL the music as emotion and crave these experiences.
I'm so glad I could introduce you to them!! They're so amazing :) Thank you for watching
This piece , yes, drove me to Floorgasm. It also made me fall HOPELESSLY in love with Jukka.
Have a listen to Shoemaker.
Yep Jukka is one of the best drummers, so passionate.
Congratulation sir, you are by far the best reactor on the net! I am “addicted” to reaction vids and have viewed many sites. I say this because of your utmost respect for the artists musicality, vocals and production by not speaking over/excessive pauses at the wrong places or pontificating on your music expertise like so many of your fellow reactors, while they are performing! Spot on, thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I see the Nightwish Army is arriving and setting up camp. Enjoy the ride, my friend.;)
Army in the house!!! Try Ever dream from Wacken 2013!!!
I always think if someone is blown away by this song, then they won't believe it when they see more of this Wacken show. It's a masterclass of live performance 🤘
One floorgasm after the other one 😜💪💪💪
This poor guy, I can tell by his reaction that nobody warned him xD did him dirty
So for heavier stuff I'd recommend Ghost River and Romaticide; for chills that will make you think you stuck your head in a freezer overnight try Shoemaker. Other than Shoemaker which is only like a month old, your best bet is to continue with the versions of songs from this specific concert.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army and prepare to be boarded
Shoemaker. I never thought there would be a NW song that will stand above Ghost Love Score for me.. Shoemaker does. They both made me weep. Absolutely brilliant!
Check Song of Myself please same concert
From the Jman twitch channel?
@@andreaspedersen3952 me? yes
@@nimwey7701 ah.. Just remembered that nickname 😁
I have popped up there once in a while as Ansepe74😇
Haha, your face was an open Floorgasm!
Actually, I think you might have set the Guinness Book of World Records for longest continuous Floorgasm. Bloody good show, mate! :P
I have watched this video probably a thousand times and every time, my eyes fill with tears. I don't know that there are any pieces of music in the modern era that match the mastery of this piece, from composition to instrumentation, to vocals, and performance. I swear, I would pay the full price of a concert ticket to see this one song performed live!
haha. Awesome reaction. Seemed genuine. Thats exactly how I and alot of the fans feel everytime we listen to Nightwish. You will feel that way on every song. Make sure and react to the live performances suggested if you do any.
