You know, if someone insists who is better, you can always say Marko
people always argue over who is better Floor or Tarja, for me the answer will always be Marko
Same here. He was awesome.
He is awesome but Floor is better than most.
Yes, well apparently Floor never will get the opportunity, so I join you.
After saying first: It doesn‘t matter, same answer from me as well
There's no debate, the best singer of Nightwish is Emppu. Followed closely by Tuomas. :)
This is from the "End of a Era" concert, the whole band is sick, and EVERYONE on that stage knows EXCEPT TARJA at the end of this show that they are going to fire Tarja from the band, there is a lot of emotion, drama, and uncertainty in the band, this concert defines the show must go on. I implore you to watch it fully once you are through a lot of Nightwish, but before you go to Poet and the Pendulum.
Nightwish's original lineup is what got me into classical voice, why I took it in college, why I became a vocal technique nerd. I will always love Tarja, and in the proper environment, her voice is unmatched as a classically trained opera singer. That being said, Floor also changed my life, and has such versatility, and I am so grateful she joined the band. Floor is quite simply my favorite singer of all time. Having become a vocal technique nerd, that's how I became able to so deeply appreciate Floor. Tuomas sure knows how to pick them!
(all the musicians, btw, not just the vocalists)
Tarja and Tuomas were classmates at school. So you could say they picked each other. According to Wikipedia, Tarja's voice ended up changing Nightwish into a metal band instead of what Tuomas and Emppu initially planned. You can also see what a wide variety of music Tarja has performed outside Nightwish: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarja_Turunen
Talk about versatility :)
I think there are more details to why there were people crying when song started. It was highly anticipated last show in their world tour. Back to their home country and band came guns blazing from the start and there were no time to waste between songs.
1. Dark Chest of Wonders - greatest show opener ever
2. Planet Hell - great drum intro, Marco shouting "Hartwall Arena !!!", big explosion and basically whole Arena roof came down.
3. Ever Dream - nuff said.
4. The Kinslayer - This is maybe little bit forgotten song nowadays, but it was very impactful song at the time. It is about the Columbine High School massacre.
5. Phantom of the Opera
Atmosphere and intensity was immense.
So nice to see you react to Tarja and Markko. This is the best rendition of the Phantom that I know and Markko and Tarja together are epic!
Finnish language don't have silent or hidden letters, every letter in every word is pronounced equally, that is very important. Tarja and Nightwish was a combination that the world had never heard before, she was Nightwish voice. Just wish Nightwish would do more covers today too, everything they do is amazing.
I've always wondered about Tarja's pronunciation, I get what you're saying and that might be the reason, but Marko doesn't seem to have any problem with it.
@@littleraven28 I can pronounce like Tarja, probably every Finn can. I often use it also, because people who aren’t fluent in English seem to understand it better than when pronouncing English in the “right way”. I call this Tarja style “lazy pronouncing “ when you can do it in the proper way, but are too lazy to do it 😁 it’s almost semi-rally English. if you don’t know what is rally English, there are many vids about, you will understand when you check out one 😁
@@Lardos Hehe, I just watched a video about rally-English. 😂 I get it. It's basically the same with English speakers trying to pronounce foreign names and words and butchering them.
@@littleraven28 yep, but people understand it well. I work with immigrants so I use it because it’s easier for them. With native English speakers I’m trying little bit harder 😁 Tarja chose this path for reason or another, I bet she could pronounce better is she wanted 🤷♀️
@@Lardos yes who knows her reason. I get that for people with a different first language it might be easier to understand. They usually know the words but emphasis in the pronunciation makes it harder for native English speakers to understand. Though it can happen to everybody, my neighbors 8 yr old always sings "knocking on the heavy door" when hearing Guns 'n Roses 😂
Big Nightwish fan here. Tired of 'arguments' about 'who is best?' From the beginning, the band has been evolving, and like all things that evolve, the changes become apparent over time. Sometimes it's sudden, other times subtle. All of those things are part of the Nightwish Journey and development, bringing them to where they are now. It's sad, of course, to see people go from the setups we are dedicated to, but as a true member of 'The Army', loyalty to the band's overall genius is unwavering and supportive, and I'm excited to see where they go from here. The answer to 'who is best?' is simple: Nightwish.
Tarja is one of the greatest voice of not the greatest in gothic genre!. She has that impact!. Is awesome!.
Marco is one of the greatest metal vocalists of all time. Why? The guy who had to duet to absolute singing monsters: Tarja Turunen and Floor Jansen.
agreed! if you can keep up at all with those two, you can sing alongside anyone! also, how many guys can state Floor sang back-up for them (thinking the live version of the Islander from Tampere)?
And had to calm his voice down a bit in order to duet with Annette
Marko is my Metal Phantom - love his WELL ALRIGHT! at the end so much.
Tarja and early Nightwish are for me the definition of symphonic metal... Floor is a great singer, but her strength is in how versatile her voice is. She really shines in the newer Nightwish songs and she made some of the older stuff her own, it is different but still great. But there are songs that fit the previous singers better. I love all Nightwish singers, each brought something unique.
And while a lot of people say that Tarja has an accent, they may have a point but she really uses it to her advantage:)
I'm not sure how much of it is accent and how much is an operatic approach to vowels 🤔
@@deed5811 I'd say it's both. Here's one interview where you can hear her speaking in English and you can definitely hear some influence of Finnish pronounciation in the mix: ruclips.net/video/2_KeinNpZ-U/видео.html
Tarja’s ‘w’ and ‘v’s tend to get mashed sometimes ‘Flying Through The Air’ is an example. But who cares?
Good one, Dave! And Tarja sounds as it's written, Tar-ja. :o)
Oh to see this live 🤩
Tarja is all opera, annett was all pop, Floor yes. I do have a preference but both Tarja and Floor have outstanding stage presence. Annet doesn't get any love for live performances but her studio stuff is excelent. Floor and Tarja are really good friends. yes Marko can sing.
Hi man ,this is a memorable piece of music, they are excellent. Hello from France. 😉🤘🎸
All hale the REAL TRUE Queen of Nightwish!!!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, David, for another great review. Your score was appropriate. You're right about Tarja being classically trained. The original members of the band are from Kitee, Finland, where there is an above - average music school. That's where she, along with rest of them in the band, got started. When Tuomas founded the band he recruited his schoolmates. You hit the nail on the head about the differences between Tarja and Floor. Floor's style is much better for a metal band, while Tara's strength is in opera and classical. I always find Tarja a bit stiff on stage when I watch her, especially compared to Floor. I agree with you about the two of them being good at their strengths and both being amazing. I'm tired of the "who is better" debate. I do prefer Floor *for Nightwish* because they're a metal band, but I also love Tarja. My boyfriend falls into the category of those who worship Tarja and think she is the holy grail of Nightwish. People forget that Tarja and Floor are not the only ones who are/were in the band. Look at that phenomenal performance that Marko gave us in that song! Tuomas arranged it and created that compelling atmosphere. Jukka and Emppu gave their all. It's not just about the lead singer, and I'm glad the band chose to continue after they parted ways with her. Tarja has a thriving solo career and millions of fans. She's more than just "the former lead singer of Nightwish." People need to move on. Thank you again, and happy New Year!
the other thing you have to remember is that Tarja is a lot younger than Floor whilst she was with Nightwish. You watch young Floor and she didn't "move" terribly well on stage either she just did what most singers do. I agree that Floor is a more traditional metal singer but Nightwish were not really a metal band 😲they did have metal influences but that wasn't their original thought, they just found an audience with metal fans as we were willing to listen to "different" and we were far less prejudiced than pop music fans! The fact that they incorporated metal styled elements didn't hurt though!! You look at the first few albums and the music is far more ballady and gothic than it is "metal" that came later as they realised where their audience was. Early Nightwish would be 1 heavy song for 3-4 lighter songs. The emphasis has always been on storytelling and that is the continuing theme through to the modern day and as their music has changed Floor has become the perfect singer to incorporate all the catalog even if she isn't the best singer for every song.😃
Here, HEAR. I agree, on all points.
Well said and happy new year
From the End of an Era show in Helsinki 2005 which was Tarja's last show with the band.
Tarja and Marco were both not feeling good and Jukka had a migraine, but they all performed anyway.
I've heard that Andrew Lloyd Webber has said that this is his favorite ,or 1 of his favorite, versions of the song.
Yes Marko kills it. He also kills it on their cover/tribute of Pink Floyd's High Hopes from this same show. (Tarja was offstage during that song for a wardrobe change).
I'm sure someone has added it to your queue. So, when you get to it , keep in mind Jukka's Migraine.
Good on you! Phantom is the first song I ever heard NW sing. GLS, with Floor, was the second. Amaranth, with Anette was the third. I have loved each one. Do I lean towards one? Yes. Which one? No.
Tarja is leather and rivets headbanger when she sings rock. It's a different approach by the genre. I smile when Floor's fans say Tarja doesn't headbang, doesn't sing agressively, or only does operatic vocals. If you keep watching her performances, you'll find out that there's both the art singer and the rock singer. Which role she does more? Yeah art singer: that's where her focus has been what comes to developping skills.
A love Tarja’s voice on this performance. But i love Anette and Floor too. All of them is unique sound and color on their voice. You are absolutly correct! So stop the say, who is the best. Let’s respect everyone and enjoy the show❤
After a year of watching you, I keep loving your format and the delivery of your reviews. Thanks for top tier entertainment David!
FEELIN' YOU Black!!! Glad you're enjoying the show.
I agree and really appreciate how David developed his style based on his personal knowledge, tastes, and radio influences (meaning some of his style, delivery, and his use of sound bytes and effects) rather than feeling like he's influenced by other reaction channel's style and delivery
A really solid reaction David. I really appreciated all the points you made. Tarja was a real pioneer when it came to singing operatically in metal. She has many really awesome performances with Nightwish which are certainly worth checking out. Wishmaster live is amazing and one of the best live Nightwish performances I have seen.
It's a really good cover number of "Fantom of the Opera". It does just what a good cover number should do. It does not go too far from the original, but contributes something new. That is really good.
Blows me away every time I watch this video. Thanks for this reaction, DH.
A) I'm rather sure that the outlook of Tuomas inspired the dresser of "Pirates of Caribbean" because that movie came out way after the Nightwish, LOL
B) Emppu's heavy stance in many solo's may have some to do that he has black belt in judo (won Finnish Junior Championship in judo - twice. And came third In European Championship competition?) Maybe he has got training in tours throwing overeager groupies 😁
The first movie came out in 2003, 2 years before this concert. Tuomas literally has a Jack Sparrow figurine attached to his keyboard stand.
@@pro-v7500 yes but nightwish been around years before the movie, he has the doll cause people mentioned similarities, plus Tuomas is a huge disney fan, he even wrote music about Scroodge Mc Duck's early klondike adventures.
All Nightwish sounds better live than than the albums. Checkout High Hopes from this same concert for more Marco.
Так так так!!!!!!! You must listen " High Hope!!!"!!!!!!!¡!
The only song i more like the video is "bye bye beautiful". Anette never was good on stage as Tarja or Floor are.
High Hopes is so epic!
Absolute chills whenever I hear Marko and Tarja singing together, love it!
Great reaction to this song. Thanks Insolent Umbrella for pulling this to the front. I love this song because of Marko. Tarja is a great operatic singer, but it's Marko who steals the show if you ask me. You have recorded The Islander by now so you have heard more of his clean vocals. He has a great control and awesome range. I hope you will react to Master Passion Greed to hear the angry side of his vocals, he is capable of way more than he showcased here.
I was there at this night. It was an emotional rollercoaster 🔥❤️🤘🇫🇮
Me too. I feel you 🤘🇫🇮
@@MoskuZombie Hianoo. Feelin’ you! 🤘🇫🇮
If you are curious to know how Tarja is sounding in her solo career, I would like to suggest a live performance recorded in 2016 at Woodstock. The name of the song is "Victim of ritual". Tarja's performance is excellent. She mixes contemporary and operatic style. The audience is also amazing. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/GxDnhbGTJSs/видео.html
TARJAWISH !!!!!! ☮☮💘💘
Watch “ Creek Mary’s Blood “ from the exact show (end of an era 2005)
Hi David! You're right on the money, there's no point whatsoever to compare between the singers (be it Tarja, Anette, of Floor). The performances and _especially_ the emotions and entertainment they provide are what do matter. Have not commented before, so I'll do it here: I just love seeing you enjoy the music. It makes me feel connected. In this (especially nowadays) isolated, divided, stupidly controversial world, I'm happy there certainly are things that can unite people regardless of "race", creed, nationality, culture, language and whatever else.
Keep up the great work man! Whenever you got the feels, I feel with you. And that makes me happy. And everyone else, too. And that makes me even more happy.
Really good reaction to a really good song, I find NW version interesting as it's different and obviously much more metal then the original, for me Marco absolutely stole the show.
Fan fact, this was Tarja last show with the band, she was fired the day after with a public open letter, maybe we can see the guys were not so comfortable.
I agree with you not to say who is overall better between Tarja and Floor, good move, it really not matter. Everyone of us has his favourite, my is Floor but I like Tarja as well, and I listen often to her too.
But I also agree Tarja is a better opera singer and Floor a better metal singer. In fact Tarja is an opera singer who does metal, she said many times she wanted to have an opera career too, and at some degree she did it. It must had been so difficult for her to be introduced in the Opera, I can imagine other opera singers whispering "oh yes, she is the metal girl".
Floor said she doesn't like opera and wont do it, but she can sing in opera style when needed. Also Tarja is a full opera trained singer, Floor did only 1 year conservatorium, so it make sense.
We don't have a NW version with Floor or Anette, when Tarja leaved Marco said "at least we don't have to perform that song anymore", and they didn't.
But if you want listen to Floor doing this, she did at the Beste Zangers tv show in 2019, with Henk Poort, who is the Dutch Phantom and one of the ALW preferred ones, so he might be good :P
A more traditional version then with Marco, and for that reason interesting.
Yes I like "uncle Henk" in that version, his distortion was fun to watch. More traditional than Marko but the whole song still has that metal feel to it and Floor is awesome.
Just one thing: Tarja was given that infamous letter at that night after the show. It was made puplic 1 day (or 2 days?) after that. I know band recieved critic for it, but i still think they published it so that fans would know the truth about what happened. I'm not sure it would have been better to just announce that that she is fired and not give any reason.. Guess we will never know.
Otherwise, the band and Tarja have let this thing go, maybe fans should too.
@@annev6895 As I know she was told to open the letter only the day after, but maybe I'm wrong.
Yes I agree, whatever happened it was 15 years ago, NW are happy with Floor, Tarja has her own solo career going well, and it's absolutely time for all to move on. Unfortunately there are still fans that can't, it's a little sad.
Personally I enjoy both eras and we are lucky enough to listen to what we want, with Tarja, Floor or even Anette, both albums with her are absolutely beautiful.
@@Fabi72g well said 👍🏼
I feel like they dropped the ball badly on the ending in the studio version (you can't hear Tarja clearly at all), but they nailed it here.
The Jack Sparrow thing is just due to Tuomas looking like him. Some nicknames for Nightwish members are
Tarja - Siren
Floor - Valkyrie
Marko - Wizard or viking
Tuomas - Dark wizard or pirate
Emppu - Hobbit
Jukka - Pirate
Troy - Bard
I'm not sure whether Kai has one yet.
I think I've heard Kai referred to as "The Metronome"
@@bloodybutunbowed291 true, but I’m not sure that fits into this nicknaming convention.
I think Jack Sparrow is both for the lookalikedness and for Tuomas being a huge fan of Hans Zimmer. Nightwish has played Zimmer's music during the start of many shows.
To me this is Marko making this epic.Tarja is great of course but Marko is fantastic.
I'm really enjoying this series of Nightwish reactions - thank you! Good choice not to get sucked into the "who's better, Tarja or Floor?" debate - in fact all three female lead singers have songs which they own IMO. Overall I do have a preference, but that says more about my taste than about the singers' quality, so I'll keep it to myself for now. Marco rocks, of course, and there are some songs where Troy takes the lead, so that's something else to look forward to!
Emppu is the coolest cat ever, and he loves the wide stances. Could have something to do with his judo background, he is a blackbelt in judo and as a young man use to to compete and win at it.
David as always it seems...... you nailed it you hit every point and love the fact that you also explaned with precision and clarity that all the voices of Nightwish, Tarija, Annette and Floor have value and all are worthy
Hit every nail on the head again Dave. Grand reaction again, cheers and please have a great, happy, proporious, and healthy 2022. Be safe and greetings from Chicago. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I’ll never forget when we saw the real show when I was just a kid. Pretty sure we saw one of Michael Crawford’s last performances, or did we see his replacement.
We saw it with Davis Gaines, Crawford had left about a year prior.
Ooooooo good one David!!! Glad you got to react to this one!!! Happy new year to you and the wife!!!! #Nightwish
Great prononciation on Emppu, You sounded like a real Finn 😃😃😃
Great reaction as usual. As a musician, I really appreciate how you break down the musical and vocal structure of the songs. Good health and happiness to you and your family. Happy New Year David !!
Kiitos from Finland.
Live versus recording: The words "great ending" or "amazing intro" are often stated. This is one rare band that is more than incrementally better live than in the studio. Some add a little flavour here and there, but Nightwish can take even their iffy studio songs and make them epic live performances.
Absolutely with you on not picking the favourite. I have favourite Tarja songs, I have favourite Floor songs. I definitely have favourite songs written for Tarja that Floor absolutely knocks out of the park (Ghost Love Score for one). And I still have songs that I prefer Tarja's version over Floor's. Like you said, it's a balancing act, and what's the most important is the emotional connection. And in some songs that connection is just that much bigger because Tarja, as you said it, is not your run-fo-the-mill metal-fronting woman. She stepped into metal from an opera background and with Tuomas' writing skills invented the genre, or at the very least was instrumental in defining the genre of symphonic metal. They made it work, and work well.
When I hear the Elvenpath, I am immediately telported into a forest, and her operatic voice absolutely shapes that illusion that I'm hearing an elf singing.
Disney, Metallica, Pantera and Hans Zimmer are huge influence on Tuomas. This probably answers a lot.
Thanks. Great reaction. And I agree. I like all three lead singers of nightwish.- And all supporting singers as well.
Emppu is a nickname, real original name is Erno.
Thanx Insolent Umbrella!!!
Wut up Big D!!! Nice to see this one. Great job. Very wise not to get into the "who's better" trap. They are both insanely talented individuals. Liked the score. Over a nine. Wow.
Peace and music, my brother. ✌🎶
PS: I enjoyed your Jinjer "Perennial"
react. Love that performance. Did you catch some of her subtle stage moves? Brilliant performer, that Tati.
In the studio the ending is different, that's why you didn't remember it. This version is way better.
Happy new year David!
Yep, the latter pronunciation: Tarja => 'Tar-ya' with a rolling 'r'.
"I like them both, neither one is superior to the other". The right answer!!
Everyone comes to hear Tarja but it's Marco that blows their minds. You just don't expect a male metal singer to keep up with a classically trained soprano. The Phantom is a great musical, but Tuomas' arrangement makes it epic.
Great reaction man! Interesting insights too 👍🏻 You can see Tarja headbang during 'Slaying the Dreamer' from the same concert, as well as the other members. I'm surprised Tuomas' head didn't come off the way he was going haha.
David : "This moment for the rest of their life"
Me: Yep, especially when they fired her after this tour , XDXDXD, and of course all the fanboys started trhowing shit to Toumas.
And that would bring you to another iconic song of Nightwish.
Wasn’t it after this concert?
@@islgrl292 Yes, this was Tarja's final gig as a member of Nightwish
@@islgrl292 yep
@@islgrl292 If this is the last concert of the tour, yes.
Make that "they fired her after this night". That was the last day Tuomas and Tarja have spoken to each other.
Hey David. Loved your reaction. I agree that overall, Floor brings far more to the Nightwish table than Tarja, as she is able to belt and growl in a manner more suited to the genre and some of the songs. But neither is superior. They just have different qualities.
This is a personal perspective, but this cover, and a small number of other Nightwish songs, are far better suited to Tarja's vocal qualities, classical training and tone. And for this particular track, when you add Marko's incredible vocals to the mix, the interplay between Tarja and Marko, the musicianship of the band, plus the musical arrangement of Tuomas, then this performance is pretty darn special....
I agree both lead singers are great. For me Marko steals the show again. 🤘🎸🎸
Hello David im glad you dont fell into the debate witch is better and a great reaction i watch them with great pleasure but you did fell into another Tarja is yes mostly operatic but also way more as the stage presence just for you should check stargazers 2011 live in Buenos Aires or undertaker Milan or any other of her live stuff you will be surprised keep up the good work a great new year . Your right WHO CARES music should be fun.
You're right David! The deccelerating at the end wasn't in the studio recording. After the build up of instrumentals and Tarja singing it kinda abrupts suddenly. All else after it for the spectacle of the live one.
Those two girls making the connection, David are mainly reacting as a very personal farewell to Tarja....
You should check out Foor's rendition of Stargazers. She'd been working on that operatic tone...
yeees! at last! like before watching!
Let's admit it! Maroko was the best singer of Nightwish... Great reaction David... Now you need to check Floor and Henk version... Happy new year again you got us with two great songs in a row today!
Well - I saw the thumbnail of your video just 14 minutes after you posted it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch it right away, although I was very curious about your opinion. Especially since I know this show from the very beginning, I mean I heard it back in 2005 when it was made. Was I surprised by your reaction? No! Did it disappoint? Ha, ha - both yes and no... Yes, because I expected to hear something that would give me food for thought, something I hadn't noticed before. And no, because you said everything that I myself could say about the performance. You said there was no point in comparing Tarja and Floor, and I totally agree. But still, you analyzed and in a way compared these two great singers. And I have to tell you, that was one of the best comparisons I've heard - I totally agree. They both move us, they both give us joy - each in their own way - I return to the performances of both often. Do we need anything more? I don't think so. And that Marco's performance particularly caught your attention? Well, it could not be otherwise, because Marco is doing an excellent job here!
So? Great performance, great arrangement, great execution - I enjoyed great music with you again this evening! Thank you!
Thanks for reacting!
I totally agree you should be 🇨🇭, it's an unnecessary discussion.
Glad you liked the performance, they all are so young there 😂
Keep this performance and Marko's manic face, in mind by the time you get to react to The Poet and the Pendulum. One will explain the other 😉
Happy new year 🎆 best wishes from the Netherlands!
Another Finnish band. BATTLE BEAST Eys Of The Storm official music video 2021. Noora Louhimo :):):)
This also video showing Jack Sparrow on one keyboard and Edward Scissorhands on the other...I guess Tuomas is a bit of a Johnny Depp fan
I'm quite sure those references are from fans of Nightwish comparing Toumas to those two characters.
Because he has somewhat of a similar look.
You need to hear Floor now singing this on the show Beste Zangers with Henk Poort, the Dutch Phantom and in Lloyd Webber's view one of the best. Not saying one is better than the other, they're both incredible.
Be warned though, Floor's performances on that show are a rabbit hole that runs deep and long.
Tarja ❤
You are one of the few reactors I listen to from absolute start to finish. Empuu always wears a jacket or long sleeves. Why or how he doesn't have a heat stroke I don't know lol. Hopefully someone in the comments knows.
He hydrate himself very well with a lot of Corona beer.
@@Fabi72g true 😂
i love Floor Jensen but Tarja was the singer when i started listening to Nightwish and she will always be the OG to me =) you should react to floor Jensen Beste zangers phantom of the opera , its a fun comparison .
First! Hi David and Mrs. Heretic
Marko ❤️🔥
ok, now you have to do the version with Floor and Henk Poort...
Ahaha, “ look at the impact she’s having” yeah…just give it a few seconds, one starts out crying, then the one all decked out in black has a more energetic reaction, haha. Can’t really blame though, nightwish’s singers seem to do that type of thing to people, which is amazing. Seems how they’ve had 3 different ones
I got one...my friends in Sven Gali covering the Triumph classic Spellbound....please
This is tarja singing this song. She does a better job for this song then Floor in my opinion. Yes that is Jack Sparrow. This concert was back in 2002. Have to remember this band is Finnish so names will be pronounced differently. This same concert back in 2002 is the song Tarja sings Sleeping Sun which if you get a chance, you should react to. This is the link Nightwish - Sleeping Sun (LIVE) .
New Phantom of the Opera with Floor and Henk Poort. Check it out man. Holy crap
First, you're right about the ending. That is not in the original recording, as the track you heard was the album track, while this one was live. As mentioned, this was at the End of an Era show, in which you'll be coming into the details of that, which will lead you to the next 2-3 Nightwish songs you'll be reacting to (hopefully along with research into the events that lead up to those songs).
Additionally, it is the album track that you listened to, that Floor Jansen and Henk Poort used when they sang Phantom of the Opera as a duet. By extension you'll want to react to that, but isn't really needed because you already know Floor's abilities and can easily nail that song. The key to that particular duet is that Henk Poort actually played the Phantom in the Dutch production of the musical, and is Floor's idol, so it is serendipitous that the current singer of Nightwish sings the cover of a song with the person who played the character in the musical.
As far as this cover goes, while the musical showed the Phantom to be simply a troubled soul, Marko in this case decided to make him sound more sinister. Everyone forgets that he's responsible for someone dying in the theater! So instead of treating him as a troubled person, Marko truly makes him sound like a bad guy.. and that isn't even getting into the BDSM aspect of the song. Oh, and props for noticing Jack Sparrow on the keyboard stand!
Echo others here. Checkout Floor and Henk Poort's version on Beste Zangers 2019.
Yes it is Jack Sparrow because fans say he looks like him Lol !! 😄
Did you know Jack Sparrow has a band? It's called Nightwish! 🤟
I always tought was Hollywood Vampires.
A lot of reactionists want to say band members' names the way they are said in their native language. What comes to Emppu and Jukka, English speakers don't say the double consonant PP or KK as long as Finns do. Also your PP was too short, if you wish to perfect it. My reply is usually: say as you wish. Imitating foreign sounds to get words/names sound like the natives say, that's near an impossibility anyway. But yeah getting closer is possible if one wants. If Finns would write how they hear English speakers say Emppu, it often sounds like "empy," the double consonant being too short. Yeah with Tarja pronouncing J is often noted, but you got some trill there in R, and that's what most people forget. A strong trill in the R, but it is still a short consonant, doesn't last long. That's hard if one usually doesn't have strong trill in R.
You rock Insolent Umbrella 🤘
Empuu's lunge is legendary... pretty sure I've seen the lower bout hover 3 inches off the stage. (any bet if there are some scuffs?)
You can get some real closeups on the video of 'Bye Bye Beautiful'.
I would check out some of a Tarja’s other live performances. She definitely headbangs and gets the crowd going. She didn’t do it so much in this concert because she was extremely ill. Plus, she had a neck injury when she was younger, so she doesn’t do it as much as Floor. Now, I completely appreciate your input on her vibrato. Most new NW fans talk so much shit about her vibrato.
I've actually seen the play performed live 3 times. That was quite an amazing rendition. Think I enjoyed that a little bit more than the original arrangement.
You’d be in good company. Andrew Loyd Webber said it was his favorite cover of the song.
Finnish is simple regarding the pronunciation of the written text, because the letters are pronounced as they are. E.g. Iron Maiden = E-ron Mi-den
Literally, I agree with every word. Thank you for the reaction, I've got everything, what I expected, and I really appreciate you do not support that stupid 'holywar' about who is better! P.s. I feel like Marco says "alright" in the end, but who cares))
From a taste point of view, i am in Floor time 😅😁 exatly for the rock/metal Style of her. And her charisma... But in this performance Tarja kill It... And Marko? I adore his performance in this. For me, the best vocals of this piece...the way that he play arrown Tarja voice!!!...Is the song that introduce me to Nightwish.
I am glad because of the good audio footage. Much more better than this horrible smarthphone audio crap footage of yesterday (Rammstein - Ausländer). Good Reaction!
Thank you so much for reacting this stunning performance.
I remember you once said that you are a bass player as well.
Perhaps you are interested in seing these three short episodes which
Marco filmed 6 years ago in Roland Finland. Marco explains his tricks with bass guitar. So this is from one bass player to another….

If David had understood the 3 minute thing he might have given it a 9.9.
So ... When are you going to weigh in on Anette Olzen? (The Nightwish singer that came between Tarja and Floor)
Haven't heard anything from her yet, so I can't say anything about her yet.
👍☝✌🤘
I knew that phantom of the opera was a musical I had no idea it was a song as well cool
