Hello Sarfaraaz Khan ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing at Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K+ audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. As I saw, you liked the powerful performance of the band. Hope you'll continue on this path. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory): "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ruclips.net/video/pvkYwOJZONU/видео.html "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ruclips.net/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/видео.html "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ruclips.net/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/видео.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) ruclips.net/video/lQu5QjidHWg/видео.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) ruclips.net/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/видео.html "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ruclips.net/video/05eitd-EA6I/видео.html "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) ruclips.net/video/OvOD6xecph4/видео.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) ruclips.net/video/knqeI807ZlY/видео.html "Sleeping Sun" live at Vizovice Masters of Rock festival 2016 (ballad) ruclips.net/video/pVPTUEW1PEM/видео.html "The Islander" live at Tampere 2015 (Marco in charge..) ruclips.net/video/Zo8ncK_5kzc/видео.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) ruclips.net/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/видео.html "Alpenglow" live at Wembley 2015 (uplifting / metal) ruclips.net/video/FrJvKZNEh7g/видео.html "Sahara" live at Tampa 2016 (middle eastern vibe) ruclips.net/video/lTvYfLa4Wlk/видео.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ruclips.net/video/wA44tjaP5n0/видео.html "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) ruclips.net/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/видео.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ruclips.net/video/t26r_vAYQ0Q/видео.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) ruclips.net/video/AN239Pbqbjo/видео.html "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) ruclips.net/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/видео.html And if you want to be surprised by Floor's vocals :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 ruclips.net/video/DuwY1d-KIss/видео.html @Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or this version of the whole concert: ruclips.net/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/видео.html Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)

Welcome to the world of Nightwish. If you really like this genre of music you will have a great journey in front of you. In short time the Nightwish army will come with our commander Gabriel. Follow his list and you will have a life-changer… before I forget, thx for your great reaction vid. 👍🏆
You just found out what a Floorgasm is.. I tell you right now, Nightwish is the most rewarding musical rabbit hole out there. Pure magic. The lead singer Floor Jansen is also the greatest vocalist I have ever heard. She evokes emotion like no other. Enjoy your journey :)
Oh man it never gets old seeing someone's first reaction to Floor walking out and opening her mouth. Sarfaraaz, welcome to symphonic metal and its foremost practitioner, Finnish band Nightwish. Floor Jansen (pronounced YAHN-sen) is their 3rd and current singer, having been on board since 2012. She's a classically trained soprano from the Netherlands and is also a tremendously warm and sensitive human, a voice coach, horsewoman (dressage), and has a killer RUclips channel. AND as everyone asks, she's almost 6'1 (6'4-6'5 in stage heels although she recently said that since she has turned 40, the heels are on the way out!)
Welcome to the wonderful world of real symphonic metal. Nightwish is the standard all others aspire to be in my opinion. Though they really are their own genre; every song is different, some really heavy, some almost folk, but all expertly crafted and performed. True Artists and professional musicians who love what they do. Hope you jump down the rabbit hole and join the army like the rest of us ;) Nightwish Army BC Canada reporting for duty - salutes our General /Herald Gabriel. He will have given you info & many good quality links (correct speed/good sound). Enjoy!!!
Welcome to Nightwish Army, north Florida Airborne Div reporting in. I didn't go through all the comments but follow the general Gabriel advise on your journey of Nightwish and the goddess Floor Jansen.
Another soul carried away by our Valkyrie goddess. Floor Jansen, pronounced Yan-sen, is the best female vocalist today. She can sing any style, any genre, with power or soft. The Nightwish rabbit hole is deep but worth it. This is a tight band and it shows in their live performances. No two songs sound the same. Great reaction. I look forward to more reactions to Nightswish. Subbed to join you on your Nightwish journey. Enjoy the ride. BTW, it is OK to pause and recommended, your comments are why we watch reactions.
I really love Floor, but so many times THE singer is in these reactions that everybody do. Is the composer or who wrote lyrics. Or the band? It is so shame, that the song or lyrics. The band is fenomenol, composer Tuomas is genious, and these lyrics are one of kind. … but i heard only singer ( who is on of a kind)
Hi, thank you for reacting to Nightwish, I really enjoyed it. This was the video I recommended. It looks like this could be the start of a nice journey for you. Like I said in my recommendation, Nightwish has a huge variety in their songs. This was just a fraction of what they can do. So there's a lot for you to discover. I'd love to see you react to more of their songs. Have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment. He gave you a list with lots of song suggestions and you can also read up on the history of the band. See you at your next Nightwish reactionvideo. Greetings from the Netherlands and take care!
I think we can officially give you the rank of Recruiter now! You have tuned SO many reactors onto Nightwish lately. You name keeps coming up time and again that you submitted a request for them. Good job! :)
Yes, keep on doing what you are doing!! Nightwish is great. As a 61 year old mom I discovered Nightwish through my oldest son at the time Tarja was still in it. My all time favorite song is "Creek Mary's Blood". I liked Floor in After Forever Mark Janssen. Also liked when After Forever did the song Beyond feat. Sharon den Adel from within Temptation. Also liked ReVamp. I also like Epica with Mark Janssen also the song from Epica Sancta Terra feat. Floor. Simone and Floor singing together are great. All three of them and many more great musicians in Ayreon from Arjen Lucassen. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘🇱🇺🌷🤗
You now heard some of the skills our 1.83m Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen has to offer as the third and present singer of Nightwish. You just can't put them in any box as they are so varied in music styles, but most of the time you can catagorize it as 'Symphonic Metal'. Floor is a master of getting emotions accross with her body language and facial expressions. Just wait when she gets in full Dutch Windmill mode with her hair. She added the ending herself and this song has become their anthem since. As I am a Flooraholic from Utrecht, The Netherlands, here is some background information on her. She joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. My favourite song is 'Energize Me'. They made a very beautiful music video out of that. Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also spent some time at the Conservatory to learn some more classical singing. 'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song, such as from full operatic to serious growls in seconds. The songs 'Disdain' and 'Wild Card' are good examples. Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour ('Please learn the setlist in 48 hours'). The lyrics of the songs of Nightwish are very poetic and the music as a whole is very challenging, but Floor pulled it off and she stayed for the whole world tour, culminating is this iconic Wacken 2013 Open Air festival which set new standards in Open Air concerts. It was obvious that the match Nightwish and Floor was made in Walhalla, so she became a permanent member of the band as the relationship between Nightwish and Annette was strained even before she got ill. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp'for a couple of years, but it became clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died' is a must see. Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on RUclips. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa', and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered RUclips in the last year and a half and uploaded many interesting videos on her channel. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing this at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish. Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of the presents she left there. Floorgasm alert! Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughter Freja (turned 4 years last march), a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.
We ABSOLUTELY witnessed another first #FLOORGASM... Thanks for the recation video and welcome to the ever increasing Nightwish Army. You should also check what Floor did out of Nightwish, like her Phantom of the Opera at Beste Zangers or her covers on her RUclips channel.
I've nothing against pausing once in a while, as long as you go 10 seconds or so back, so I can reflect on your comments and get back into the song. I loved your reaction! Follow Gabriels list. You can't go wrong!
Nightwish Army Salford Brigade reporting. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal. This video is the single most reacted to one on RUclips. The lead singer in this video, Floor Jansen, is the band's third and current lead singer. She is - seriously - in the running for the position of Very Best Female Singer In The World. If you care to check the evidence, it's all over RUclips. For a start every Nightwish song is phenomenal, and if you follow Gabriel's links you will find many many examples of Floor's solo work in many different styles and languages. There is literally nothing she can't sing. Thank you for this reaction, and best wishes for your future journey into the the linked rabbitholes of Nightwish, symphonic metal generally and Floor Jansen in particular. Have fun!
Nightwish Army Texas reporting for duty. Welcome to a wonderful rabbit hole. Hope you continue your journey. It’s well worth the trip. Heed Gabriel’s advice and knowledge. Enjoy!
"This chick" is Floor Jansen and yes she and the band are 10 steps above Evanescence and Amy Lee who is a phenomenal singer herself. If that tells you anything.
Martine strikes again 👍 Our lead scout in the Nightwish Army. And a big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘 You just scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities - maybe 10 - 12 % with this epic story, but don't worry - Nightwish are going to give you the most unexpected musically experiences of your life - not kidding! The are the greatest Symphonic Metal band ever, and breaking new land in their stories. And Floor - well Floor is Floor - only one of her kind in the Universe. Just buckle up, take one more look at Gabriel's list - and go! Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 - and subscribed 👍
Floor jansen the Queen of metal ♥is a classic trained and professional voice coach with at least 20 years experience and can do anything from death metal growling to high opera notes and different styles and languages, her previous bands After Forever, Northward and Revamp and she was also featured in several Ayreon live shows and a Dutch reality show Beste zangers 2019,awesome thanks 😊
This was an AMAZING LIVE PERFORMANCE 🤩 Nightwish never disappoints you. They are super musicians, instrumental and the great voices. And they always tell you a little story. FLOOR is Our Dutch QUEEN 💕 FLOOR JANSEN sings any style or genre. She is a Coach, and a soprano, with a range of more than three octaves (D3 to F6). Her singing style varies from opera to screaming and grunting. Mostly she sings in English. She Sings also in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish. Please more NIGHTWISH🔥💥🤘 Thank You so much and Love from the Netherlands ❤️🤍💙🇳🇱🙋🏼♀️ 😘
Floor actually goes down into the 2nd octave for growling, giving her over 4 octaves in total, although she has never (publically) used whistle register, which would give at least another octave on top. Those who know the female voice far better than I ever could have said that she sings well within her range, probably to be able to guarantee quality performances night after night on tour, through jetlag, varying health, and under any conditions. Even within Floor's head voice, Elizabeth Zharoff, (The Charismatic Voice) herself an acclaimed international opera singer and vocal coach, has said she believes Floor has half an octave in reserve before whistle register.
Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty: What you should do: Listen to Gabriel. He knows. Dont use shortcuts...stick to the Running order...it will be a treat.... Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul :-) Your face when she starts to sing - Priceless. Continue your Journey - You will like it ! And be sure....this was just the tip of the Iceberg.... Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
Great reaction! 👍🤘 Greetings from the UK! Info dump for you below!😁 Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal herself Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Floor is a classically trained soprano and has a vocal range of more than 3 octaves (D3 to F6+). Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had (and my personal favourite), she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today. The other vocalists are - Tarja Turunen - (1996-2005) - (Finland) - Very operatic focused vocals. Anette Olzon - (2007-2012) - (Sweden) - More pop-centric vocals. Floor Jansen - (2012-Present) - (Netherlands) - Extremely diverse vocals, from deep growls to full on opera. The other band members are/were - Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland) Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland) Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland) Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Retired in 2014 due to health issues Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom) Kai Hahto - Drums (Finland) - 2014 to Present Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious goldmine of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff (including 2 other bands, After Forever & ReVamp) that she has done that is all pretty amazing as well. She is also an absolutely lovely, funny, smart and grounded person (in fact all the band members are exceedingly down to earth individuals). She has her own channel here on RUclips where she regularly posts covers of songs. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter/composer and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen. The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is extremely varied. The "Symphonic" backing tracks of their music is composed in the majority by Tuomas and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This was the 13th song in this particular set, Floor is belting notes like that the entire set. Nighwish are almost always better experienced with live versions of their songs if at all possible. Most new reactors are better off sticking with the Wacken 2013 set to begin with as it offers a taste of a lot of what Nightwish has to offer, they have multiple concerts though all of which are superb. Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Storytime, Romanticide, Ghost River, I Wish I had an Angel, Song of Myself, Ever Dream, Dark Chest of Wonders, I Want My Tears Back and Amaranth all from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vacken). Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance. Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version. Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make a lot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way. Prepare for the Nightwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘
nightwisharmy germany rushing in.... great reaction... we know what you don´t :)) your soul is already taken by the valkyrian goddess.... :)) pls go on doing nightwish, i´ll come back here
XXX,000 nightwish fans can't be mistaken ..the North German Division of the Nightwish Army reports !! We are there. special greetings to the General of the Army #GabrielBardac (in your comments) and of course the rest of the Nightwish army and the sabaton family The Bande Vocals : Floor Jansen Bass,Vocals : Marco Hietala Guitar : Emppu Vuorinen Keyboards,Songwriting. : Tuomas Holopainen Uilleann Pipes : Troy Donockley Drums :1-Jukka Nevalainen/ 2-Kai Hahto
She is the finest female vocalist on the planet. I don't base that just on her work with Nightwish (although that alone is a huge rabbit hole you should crawl down). If you explore the catalog of her work I think you might agree with me.
Welcome to the world of Nightwish! You will not be disappointed. Nightwish Army is here to send you love and appreciation. Keep it up big guy. Best of luck and keep safe from Amsterdam
Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances ever. Glad you liked and greetings from Finland! 😎👍
Welcome to NW Sarfaraaz Khan, you just met our 6ft Queen Floor Jansen (Dutch) 3rd and current frontwoman of the Finnish Symphonic Metalband NW. She is incredible. 10 Months earlier she came as a substitute for Anette Olzon, who became sick in the middle of a world tour and had to go to the hospital. NW called Floor and she said yes. She had to learn the setlist in 48 hours (there is a documentary about that) and did this on the flight from the Netherlands to Salt Lake City, where she joined the band on their way to Seattle for the next concert. GLS wasn't even on the list, but because she loved this song so much, NW put it on the list. The last part of the song the previous singer(s) didn't do, so she made it her own, with as result 10 months later at Wacken 2013 this MASTERPIECE. When she belt so high, you get shivers or goosebumps we call that a FLOORGASM. Congrats with your first one. If you want to react to more of them, go with the links Gabriel Bardac gave you for a start. Greetings from the Netherlands South Division and enjoy the ride with us. Thumbs up for you and Martine
Welcome to Nightwish. Great reaction, you seem to enjoy this song so be prepared for more. You will have a great journey going down on this rabbit hole. For the next one I suggest "storytime" live at Wacken, but any song will be great to see you react. Stay safe 🤘😁🤘
Welcome into the wonderful world of storytelling by Nightwish. You just heard Floor Jansen (pronounce Yahn-Sen). Although the band is Finnish their 3rd female vocalist isn’t, she is Dutch. Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career as (initially) just as background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997 but real soon she took over the lead until early 2009 and the band fell apart. Parallel she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. She studied Musical Theatre and one year Opera. She plays guitar, piano and flute and has completed 12 years of music studies. She’s a Light Lyric Soprano and her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1, 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer. Is this real live? If you’ll have any doubts watch this: ruclips.net/video/6qDrKoZ62wQ/видео.html the evolution of Ghost Love Score. Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp worked under the same Nuclear Blast record label.

Hello Sarfaraaz. Great reaction. We have all had that reaction. Private Marshall Nightwish Army reporting for duty. Glad you enjoyed it. There is so much more. This entire concert can be reacted to from the beginning, one song at a time. There are no bad songs and each one you hear will become your new favorite. That might sound ridiculous but we have seen it over and over again. This is a live band. This is a rarity that the live music is better than the engineered versions. Stick with live. I see General Gabriel has arrived to give you a road map and a history to help you on this most magical of journeys. A few of my suggestions outside of this concert venue, Yours is an empty Hope, Wembley. (The cruise ship video is not as good) How's the heart, Planet Rock Acoustic version and I want my tears back, Buenos Aires Argentina. Loved your personality, comments and audio/visual presentation. Welcome to the world of Nightwish.
Nightwish Army, I rarely comment on first reactions I leave that to Gabriel Bardac. Seeing this man enjoy the music this much and of my watching only 470 subs... I think we as a whole can get this wonderful fellow to 2K so please hit that button and help another man enjoy their journey that is Nightwish.
Yes, nice reaction. Welcome to Nightwish. Yes, there actually was an orchestra and choir. But not on stage, as they are pre-recorded in the UK. Music is all composed by Tuomas, who is the keyboard player behind the keyboard stand of organ pipes (modeled on a sculpture honouring the Finnish composer Sibelius)

Romanian Division reporting in! :D Welcome to the World of Nightwish, sir! Take a look at Gabriel's posts and consider going with his list, you'll not regret it one bit! All the best to you!
Hey bro. Good reaction!!! Awesome band. All members are one of a kind. In this song Floor uses just a small part of her tools. And she have a very big box of tools. Keep listening to Nightwish. You'll not regreat. Sorry for my english but I'm from Argentina. Greettings!!
Hi Sarfaraaz from a fellow Saffer. Lovely to hear a Nightwish reaction in an accent I am so familiar with here in Cape Town. Must warn you though, you have only scratched the surface with Nightwish. I am now 70+ years old and have never been such a fanboy as I am of Nightwish in all my years of listening to music. Just a pity that we will probably never get to see them live in South Africa. The market and fanbase here is just to small. But I do what I can to spread the gospel.
Sorry to reply with something so unrelated, but, thank you for pointing out the accent. I spent the whole beginning of this video feeling like I was having a stroke, I could not place it! It felt like a mixture of so many things. I suspected South Africa, but I guess Cape Town specifically has a notable accent? Sorry, I just find accent from around the world really fascinating!
Nightwish Army South Germany Division here Welcome to the Nightwish Army From the many, really many reactions videos from all over the world, I took the liberty of collecting the honorifics for Floor and saying them in one sentence : Bow to our Majesty Floor Jansen, First of Her name, Goddess of the Valkyries, Highly Queen of the Vikings, Lady of Nightwish, the House Band of the Gods of Asgard, Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may She reign. There is nothing more to say about this
welcome to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band and Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive). this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream" this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
Arizona Chapter of the NWA checking in! Welcome to the endless and boundless journey that is Nightwish. If you will follow the list you have received from Gabriel you cannot go wrong. If you wish to hear more Floor Jansen (Yansen) try any of her solos from Beste Zangers 2019 and prepare to be amazed.
Nightwish has been around for a number years and I'm sure you'll get from the comments of their rabid fans a long history of musical talent with a dynamic and brilliant leader. But honestly, as you realized, it's all about Floor. This is her day job and if you stop there and just listen to her work with the band you're really going to miss the breadth of her talent. Two venues not to miss - her appearance on the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers in 2019 where most performances feature her as a soloist (Though don't miss her duet on Phantom of the Opera and be sure to catch her solo of Shallow) and her solo performances on her RUclips channel. Floor, the greatest living master of her instrument. There are other wonderful artists I enjoy, some who would blow your socks off (Home Free, Diana Ankudinova, Haley Reinhart, Morgan James, Niia) but Floor teaches a Masterclass every time she performs.
Hello Sarfaraaz Khan Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Thanks for your great reaction 😁👍Floor is ausumn, but Nightwish is a family. They are all huge talents, and you should also listen songs with Marko (base+vocals) singing together with Floor. Nightwish rules ❤❤!!
Most of the symphonic music you hear (on almost every song of Nightwish is written by Tuomas (keyboards) but is performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Since there’s not enough space on stage for a full live orchestra (and also couldn’t go with them on world tour for more than a year) it’s a running soundtrack pre-recorded at Angel Studios, London. This orchestra is featuring on every album NW released since ‘Once’ (except the last one Human :|: Nature which is performed by Blue Dot Orchestra). ruclips.net/video/HcxjKlUcjXo/видео.html The background choir you frequently hear are the Metro Voices, a choir group also based in London. At some songs a boys soprano performed: Guy Elliott, 2nd boy soprano: Tom Williams, courtesy of the Reigate St Mary's Choir School. Child choir: Young Musicians London.
Nightwish Army, Midwest USA division checking in! Great reaction and analysis! My recommendation is to follow the path Gabriel has set in front of you.
@@LadyAragorn1 I'm an Okie. I know, I know...regionally, we are considered SW. But the folks here have more in common with the Midwest than SW, so that's what I go with.
This is a very unique and vocal focused song. They have much different styles as well. Heavier, softer, and many different song structures. Nightwish is a symphonic metal band. Some of their older stuff is more power metal style. Hope to see you again very soon my friend.
I always enjoy a reaction to Wintersun -Sons of winter and Stars (Live@Sonic Pump). People who enjoy Nightwish also tend to like reactions to bands such as Epica, Ayreon, Unleash the Archers, Wintersun, and others. Thanks for the reaction.
Try another Dutch singer : Epica - Consign to oblivion. She (Simone) were (and of course still are) friends while studying. Or their duet together Sancta terra. Cheers from the Netherlands !
Well done, picked the best version with the latest singer Floor Jansen in front of 82,000 people. Well spotted that she is at least one step beyond Amy Lee, as she has empathy in her singing not to mention range and flexibility. There are many diehard fans who love the first singer Tarja who was more operatic and set the direction for the band and some like Annette the second singer who sang in a very poppy style and gave the band variety and now we have Floor who can sing anything.
She did study classical but she is a metalhead and akso studied in the rock academy. Floor was in 2 bands prior to Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp both metal bands. She can do opera and death metal growls lol
Probably the best song to begin your Nightwish adventure. Adventure, because, after this song I am sure you will want to hear more, much more. Enjoy. Chick? That's Queen Floor, the Nordic Goddess Warrior. The Nightwish rabbit hole calls.
NWA, Floor Battalion, reporting from the USA. What, pray tell, have you stumbled upon here, my friend? What rabbit hole have you allowed yourself to fall into??? Like Aladdin rubbing the lamp, you have unearthed a power not often seen-or heard-in this world, and this has summoned us, with the clarion call of our Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. The Nightwish Army is a real thing-brace yourself! We’re coming en force. Join us, and see what magic awaits the journey you are about to embark upon. We’re with you all the way, brother! \m/ >O< \m/
Symphonic Metal has no better example than Nightwish. Floor is the Valkyrie Goddess! She can sing anything. I wouldn't be surprised if you put a country song in front of her and she could sing that to. The band are phenomenal musicians that help bring every note to perfection. Welcome to the Nightwish Army. Love from Chicago
"sounds like and entire orchestra behind it".....yup, it's backing tracks performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish, enjoy your journey down the deep, deep rabbit hole!!
I think it's time for a little story please do storytime from same concert next and prepare yourself for the nightwish army . You can allready see that the Army is from all over the world . Greetings from the Netherlands
hi from northern ireland...great reaction..every nightwish song is different and the singer is Floor Jensen who stands 6ft 1inch barefoot so add another cpl of inches for heels
Tuomas Holopainen (Key) Composer to Nightwish (Finland), works whit London Philarmonic (Lord of the Rings) Orchestra when making ther music !

Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division reporting in on your 1st Floor Jansen with Nightwish reaction, General Gabriel Bardac will fill you in and give you links to check out. Enjoy the ride
Hello Sarfaraaz Khan ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing at Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K+ audience.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
As I saw, you liked the powerful performance of the band. Hope you'll continue on this path.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory):

@Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or this version of the whole concert: ruclips.net/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/видео.html
Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
@Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

Welcome to the world of Nightwish. If you really like this genre of music you will have a great journey in front of you. In short time the Nightwish army will come with our commander Gabriel. Follow his list and you will have a life-changer… before I forget, thx for your great reaction vid. 👍🏆
My mind is truly blown. Angelic
@@sarfi1012 Looking forward to seeing you react to more Nightwish. I think you will enjoy the journey.
@@sarfi1012 That face, remember me my first time with NW
You just found out what a Floorgasm is.. I tell you right now, Nightwish is the most rewarding musical rabbit hole out there. Pure magic. The lead singer Floor Jansen is also the greatest vocalist I have ever heard. She evokes emotion like no other. Enjoy your journey :)
Oh man it never gets old seeing someone's first reaction to Floor walking out and opening her mouth. Sarfaraaz, welcome to symphonic metal and its foremost practitioner, Finnish band Nightwish. Floor Jansen (pronounced YAHN-sen) is their 3rd and current singer, having been on board since 2012. She's a classically trained soprano from the Netherlands and is also a tremendously warm and sensitive human, a voice coach, horsewoman (dressage), and has a killer RUclips channel. AND as everyone asks, she's almost 6'1 (6'4-6'5 in stage heels although she recently said that since she has turned 40, the heels are on the way out!)
Never gets old
Welcome to the wonderful world of real symphonic metal.
Nightwish is the standard all others aspire to be in my opinion.
Though they really are their own genre; every song is different, some really heavy, some almost folk, but all expertly crafted and performed.
True Artists and professional musicians who love what they do.
Hope you jump down the rabbit hole and join the army like the rest of us ;)
Nightwish Army BC Canada reporting for duty - salutes our General /Herald Gabriel.
He will have given you info & many good quality links (correct speed/good sound). Enjoy!!!
Welcome to Nightwish Army, north Florida Airborne Div reporting in. I didn't go through all the comments but follow the general Gabriel advise on your journey of Nightwish and the goddess Floor Jansen.
Another soul carried away by our Valkyrie goddess. Floor Jansen, pronounced Yan-sen, is the best female vocalist today. She can sing any style, any genre, with power or soft. The Nightwish rabbit hole is deep but worth it. This is a tight band and it shows in their live performances. No two songs sound the same. Great reaction. I look forward to more reactions to Nightswish. Subbed to join you on your Nightwish journey. Enjoy the ride. BTW, it is OK to pause and recommended, your comments are why we watch reactions.
Going to see them in Dublin Ireland on 17th November.
I really love Floor, but so many times THE singer is in these reactions that everybody do.
Is the composer or who wrote lyrics. Or the band? It is so shame, that the song or lyrics.
The band is fenomenol, composer Tuomas is genious, and these lyrics are one of kind.
… but i heard only singer ( who is on of a kind)
Hi, thank you for reacting to Nightwish, I really enjoyed it. This was the video I recommended. It looks like this could be the start of a nice journey for you. Like I said in my recommendation, Nightwish has a huge variety in their songs. This was just a fraction of what they can do. So there's a lot for you to discover. I'd love to see you react to more of their songs. Have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment. He gave you a list with lots of song suggestions and you can also read up on the history of the band. See you at your next Nightwish reactionvideo. Greetings from the Netherlands and take care!
I think we can officially give you the rank of Recruiter now! You have tuned SO many reactors onto Nightwish lately. You name keeps coming up time and again that you submitted a request for them.
Good job! :)
You are the best Martine!!
You are the ultimate recruiter to the ranks of the Nightwish army. Top work as ever!👍🤘🏻
Yes, keep on doing what you are doing!! Nightwish is great. As a 61 year old mom I discovered Nightwish through my oldest son at the time Tarja was still in it. My all time favorite song is "Creek Mary's Blood". I liked Floor in After Forever Mark Janssen. Also liked when After Forever did the song Beyond feat. Sharon den Adel from within Temptation. Also liked ReVamp. I also like Epica with Mark Janssen also the song from Epica Sancta Terra feat. Floor. Simone and Floor singing together are great. All three of them and many more great musicians in Ayreon from Arjen Lucassen.
Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘🇱🇺🌷🤗
Yess, Martine! You are definitely an official recruiter now! I have seen you recruit so many :D Yay! :D
very cool reaction,
greetings from the Nightwish Army from Germany 😃
You now heard some of the skills our 1.83m Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen has to offer as the third and present singer of Nightwish. You just can't put them in any box as they are so varied in music styles, but most of the time you can catagorize it as 'Symphonic Metal'. Floor is a master of getting emotions accross with her body language and facial expressions. Just wait when she gets in full Dutch Windmill mode with her hair. She added the ending herself and this song has become their anthem since. As I am a Flooraholic from Utrecht, The Netherlands, here is some background information on her.
She joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. My favourite song is 'Energize Me'. They made a very beautiful music video out of that. Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also spent some time at the Conservatory to learn some more classical singing. 'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song, such as from full operatic to serious growls in seconds. The songs 'Disdain' and 'Wild Card' are good examples.
Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour ('Please learn the setlist in 48 hours'). The lyrics of the songs of Nightwish are very poetic and the music as a whole is very challenging, but Floor pulled it off and she stayed for the whole world tour, culminating is this iconic Wacken 2013 Open Air festival which set new standards in Open Air concerts. It was obvious that the match Nightwish and Floor was made in Walhalla, so she became a permanent member of the band as the relationship between Nightwish and Annette was strained even before she got ill.
Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp'for a couple of years, but it became clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died' is a must see.
Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on RUclips. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa', and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini.
As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered RUclips in the last year and a half and uploaded many interesting videos on her channel. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing this at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish. Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of the presents she left there. Floorgasm alert!
Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughter Freja (turned 4 years last march), a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.
We ABSOLUTELY witnessed another first #FLOORGASM...
Thanks for the recation video and welcome to the ever increasing Nightwish Army.
You should also check what Floor did out of Nightwish, like her Phantom of the Opera at Beste Zangers or her covers on her RUclips channel.
I've nothing against pausing once in a while, as long as you go 10 seconds or so back, so I can reflect on your comments and get back into the song. I loved your reaction! Follow Gabriels list. You can't go wrong!
Nightwish Army Salford Brigade reporting. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal. This video is the single most reacted to one on RUclips. The lead singer in this video, Floor Jansen, is the band's third and current lead singer. She is - seriously - in the running for the position of Very Best Female Singer In The World. If you care to check the evidence, it's all over RUclips. For a start every Nightwish song is phenomenal, and if you follow Gabriel's links you will find many many examples of Floor's solo work in many different styles and languages. There is literally nothing she can't sing. Thank you for this reaction, and best wishes for your future journey into the the linked rabbitholes of Nightwish, symphonic metal generally and Floor Jansen in particular. Have fun!

"This chick" is Floor Jansen and yes she and the band are 10 steps above Evanescence and Amy Lee who is a phenomenal singer herself. If that tells you anything.
She is classically trainer singer who can sing what ever.
Martine strikes again 👍
Our lead scout in the Nightwish Army.
And a big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘
You just scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities - maybe 10 - 12 % with this epic story, but don't worry - Nightwish are going to give you the most unexpected musically experiences of your life - not kidding!
The are the greatest Symphonic Metal band ever, and breaking new land in their stories.
And Floor - well Floor is Floor - only one of her kind in the Universe.
Just buckle up, take one more look at Gabriel's list - and go!
Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 - and subscribed 👍
Floor jansen the Queen of metal ♥is a classic trained and professional voice coach with at least 20 years experience and can do anything from death metal growling to high opera notes and different styles and languages, her previous bands After Forever, Northward and Revamp and she was also featured in several Ayreon live shows and a Dutch reality show Beste zangers 2019,awesome thanks 😊
This was an AMAZING LIVE PERFORMANCE 🤩
Nightwish never disappoints you. They are super musicians, instrumental and the great voices. And they always tell you a little story. FLOOR is Our Dutch QUEEN 💕
FLOOR JANSEN sings any style or genre. She is a Coach, and a
soprano, with a range of more than three octaves (D3 to F6).
Her singing style varies from opera to screaming and grunting. Mostly she sings in English.
She Sings also in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish.
Please more NIGHTWISH🔥💥🤘
Thank You so much and
Love from the Netherlands
❤️🤍💙🇳🇱🙋🏼♀️ 😘
Floor actually goes down into the 2nd octave for growling, giving her over 4 octaves in total, although she has never (publically) used whistle register, which would give at least another octave on top. Those who know the female voice far better than I ever could have said that she sings well within her range, probably to be able to guarantee quality performances night after night on tour, through jetlag, varying health, and under any conditions. Even within Floor's head voice, Elizabeth Zharoff, (The Charismatic Voice) herself an acclaimed international opera singer and vocal coach, has said she believes Floor has half an octave in reserve before whistle register.

What you should do:
Listen to Gabriel.

Dont use shortcuts...stick to the Running order...it will be a treat....
Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul :-)
Your face when she starts to sing - Priceless.
Continue your Journey - You will like it ! And be sure....this was just the tip of the Iceberg....
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
Great reaction! 👍🤘
Greetings from the UK! Info dump for you below!😁
Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal herself Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Floor is a classically trained soprano and has a vocal range of more than 3 octaves (D3 to F6+).
Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had (and my personal favourite), she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today.
The other vocalists are -
Tarja Turunen - (1996-2005) - (Finland) - Very operatic focused vocals.
Anette Olzon - (2007-2012) - (Sweden) - More pop-centric vocals.
Floor Jansen - (2012-Present) - (Netherlands) - Extremely diverse vocals, from deep growls to full on opera.
The other band members are/were -
Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland)
Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland)
Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland)
Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Retired in 2014 due to health issues
Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom)
Kai Hahto - Drums (Finland) - 2014 to Present
Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious goldmine of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff (including 2 other bands, After Forever & ReVamp) that she has done that is all pretty amazing as well. She is also an absolutely lovely, funny, smart and grounded person (in fact all the band members are exceedingly down to earth individuals). She has her own channel here on RUclips where she regularly posts covers of songs.
The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter/composer and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen.
The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is extremely varied.
The "Symphonic" backing tracks of their music is composed in the majority by Tuomas and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
This was the 13th song in this particular set, Floor is belting notes like that the entire set.
Nighwish are almost always better experienced with live versions of their songs if at all possible.
Most new reactors are better off sticking with the Wacken 2013 set to begin with as it offers a taste of a lot of what Nightwish has to offer, they have multiple concerts though all of which are superb.
Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Storytime, Romanticide, Ghost River, I Wish I had an Angel, Song of Myself, Ever Dream, Dark Chest of Wonders, I Want My Tears Back and Amaranth all from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vacken).
Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance.
Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version.
Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make a lot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way.
Prepare for the Nightwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘

She is the finest female vocalist on the planet. I don't base that just on her work with Nightwish (although that alone is a huge rabbit hole you should crawl down). If you explore the catalog of her work I think you might agree with me.
Welcome to the world of Nightwish! You will not be disappointed. Nightwish Army is here to send you love and appreciation. Keep it up big guy. Best of luck and keep safe from Amsterdam
Another Soul Snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess
Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances ever. Glad you liked and greetings from Finland! 😎👍
Welcome to NW Sarfaraaz Khan, you just met our 6ft Queen Floor Jansen (Dutch) 3rd and current frontwoman of the Finnish Symphonic Metalband NW. She is incredible. 10 Months earlier she came as a substitute for Anette Olzon, who became sick in the middle of a world tour and had to go to the hospital. NW called Floor and she said yes. She had to learn the setlist in 48 hours (there is a documentary about that) and did this on the flight from the Netherlands to Salt Lake City, where she joined the band on their way to Seattle for the next concert. GLS wasn't even on the list, but because she loved this song so much, NW put it on the list. The last part of the song the previous singer(s) didn't do, so she made it her own, with as result 10 months later at Wacken 2013 this MASTERPIECE. When she belt so high, you get shivers or goosebumps we call that a FLOORGASM. Congrats with your first one. If you want to react to more of them, go with the links Gabriel Bardac gave you for a start. Greetings from the Netherlands South Division and enjoy the ride with us. Thumbs up for you and Martine
Welcome to Nightwish. Great reaction, you seem to enjoy this song so be prepared for more. You will have a great journey going down on this rabbit hole. For the next one I suggest "storytime" live at Wacken, but any song will be great to see you react. Stay safe 🤘😁🤘
Welcome into the wonderful world of storytelling by Nightwish. You just heard Floor Jansen (pronounce Yahn-Sen). Although the band is Finnish their 3rd female vocalist isn’t, she is Dutch. Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career as (initially) just as background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997 but real soon she took over the lead until early 2009 and the band fell apart. Parallel she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. She studied Musical Theatre and one year Opera. She plays guitar, piano and flute and has completed 12 years of music studies. She’s a Light Lyric Soprano and her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons.
On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1, 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer.
Is this real live? If you’ll have any doubts watch this: ruclips.net/video/6qDrKoZ62wQ/видео.html the evolution of Ghost Love Score.
Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp worked under the same Nuclear Blast record label.

Welcome to the biggest family of this planet , the nightwish army .
Hello Sarfaraaz. Great reaction. We have all had that reaction. Private Marshall Nightwish Army reporting for duty. Glad you enjoyed it. There is so much more. This entire concert can be reacted to from the beginning, one song at a time. There are no bad songs and each one you hear will become your new favorite. That might sound ridiculous but we have seen it over and over again. This is a live band. This is a rarity that the live music is better than the engineered versions. Stick with live.
I see General Gabriel has arrived to give you a road map and a history to help you on this most magical of journeys. A few of my suggestions outside of this concert venue, Yours is an empty Hope, Wembley. (The cruise ship video is not as good) How's the heart, Planet Rock Acoustic version and I want my tears back, Buenos Aires Argentina.
Loved your personality, comments and audio/visual presentation. Welcome to the world of Nightwish.
"Quite a tall figure". Floor is 183cm. Add 10cm performance heels and yes...undeniable presence.
Nightwish Army, I rarely comment on first reactions I leave that to Gabriel Bardac. Seeing this man enjoy the music this much and of my watching only 470 subs... I think we as a whole can get this wonderful fellow to 2K so please hit that button and help another man enjoy their journey that is Nightwish.
Very nice reaction, thanks.. and let the epicness go on with Song of Myself from that same show..🤟
Awesome reaction and as amazing as Floor's performance was here, you've only heard a fraction of her full capabilities. Storytime next please
Yes, nice reaction. Welcome to Nightwish. Yes, there actually was an orchestra and choir. But not on stage, as they are pre-recorded in the UK. Music is all composed by Tuomas, who is the keyboard player behind the keyboard stand of organ pipes (modeled on a sculpture honouring the Finnish composer Sibelius)
Incredible reaction 👨🏼🎤👨🏼🎤👨🏼🎤👏👏👏
Great reaction

Welcome to the World of Nightwish, sir! Take a look at Gabriel's posts and consider going with his list, you'll not regret it one bit!
All the best to you!
Hey bro. Good reaction!!! Awesome band. All members are one of a kind. In this song Floor uses just a small part of her tools. And she have a very big box of tools. Keep listening to Nightwish. You'll not regreat. Sorry for my english but I'm from Argentina. Greettings!!
Amazing reaction! Welcome to the wonderful rabbit hole of Nightwish with Floor! Looking forward to watching your upcoming journey
Hi Sarfaraaz from a fellow Saffer. Lovely to hear a Nightwish reaction in an accent I am so familiar with here in Cape Town. Must warn you though, you have only scratched the surface with Nightwish. I am now 70+ years old and have never been such a fanboy as I am of Nightwish in all my years of listening to music. Just a pity that we will probably never get to see them live in South Africa. The market and fanbase here is just to small. But I do what I can to spread the gospel.
Sorry to reply with something so unrelated, but, thank you for pointing out the accent. I spent the whole beginning of this video feeling like I was having a stroke, I could not place it! It felt like a mixture of so many things. I suspected South Africa, but I guess Cape Town specifically has a notable accent?
Sorry, I just find accent from around the world really fascinating!
Nightwish Army South Germany Division here
Welcome to the Nightwish Army
From the many, really many reactions videos from all over the world, I took the liberty of collecting the honorifics for Floor and saying them in one sentence :
Bow to our Majesty Floor Jansen, First of Her name, Goddess of the Valkyries, Highly Queen of the Vikings, Lady of Nightwish, the House Band of the Gods of Asgard, Protector of our Metal Realm.
Long may She reign.
There is nothing more to say about this
Thank you! Greetings from Finland🇫🇮!
You actually called Floor Jansen this chick,man, Nightwish Army coming for you.
welcome to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band and Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive).
this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream"
this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
Arizona Chapter of the NWA checking in! Welcome to the endless and boundless journey that is Nightwish. If you will follow the list you have received from Gabriel you cannot go wrong. If you wish to hear more Floor Jansen (Yansen) try any of her solos from Beste Zangers 2019 and prepare to be amazed.
Nightwish has been around for a number years and I'm sure you'll get from the comments of their rabid fans a long history of musical talent with a dynamic and brilliant leader. But honestly, as you realized, it's all about Floor. This is her day job and if you stop there and just listen to her work with the band you're really going to miss the breadth of her talent. Two venues not to miss - her appearance on the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers in 2019 where most performances feature her as a soloist (Though don't miss her duet on Phantom of the Opera and be sure to catch her solo of Shallow) and her solo performances on her RUclips channel. Floor, the greatest living master of her instrument. There are other wonderful artists I enjoy, some who would blow your socks off (Home Free, Diana Ankudinova, Haley Reinhart, Morgan James, Niia) but Floor teaches a Masterclass every time she performs.
Hello Sarfaraaz Khan
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
She is Flawless Floor 😁 Keep on exploring Nightwish. All the best from Finland, Lapland 😁
Thanks for your great reaction 😁👍Floor is ausumn, but Nightwish is a family. They are all huge talents, and you should also listen songs with Marko (base+vocals) singing together with Floor. Nightwish rules ❤❤!!
Most of the symphonic music you hear (on almost every song of Nightwish is written by Tuomas (keyboards) but is performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Since there’s not enough space on stage for a full live orchestra (and also couldn’t go with them on world tour for more than a year) it’s a running soundtrack pre-recorded at Angel Studios, London. This orchestra is featuring on every album NW released since ‘Once’ (except the last one Human :|: Nature which is performed by Blue Dot Orchestra). ruclips.net/video/HcxjKlUcjXo/видео.html
The background choir you frequently hear are the Metro Voices, a choir group also based in London.
At some songs a boys soprano performed: Guy Elliott, 2nd boy soprano: Tom Williams, courtesy of the Reigate St Mary's Choir School. Child choir: Young Musicians London.
Been a Nightwish fan since 2004, born and raised in small-town Ballito, Durban. Crazy to see other saffas find the band in 2021.
Welcome to Nightwish, thanks from Colombia
Nightwish Army, Midwest USA division checking in! Great reaction and analysis! My recommendation is to follow the path Gabriel has set in front of you.
Where ya at? Iowa here
@@LadyAragorn1 I'm an Okie. I know, I know...regionally, we are considered SW. But the folks here have more in common with the Midwest than SW, so that's what I go with.
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish !
This is a very unique and vocal focused song. They have much different styles as well. Heavier, softer, and many different song structures. Nightwish is a symphonic metal band. Some of their older stuff is more power metal style. Hope to see you again very soon my friend.
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish and Floor Jansen, The Goddess Voice of Heaven and Earth. Enjoy your journey.
I always enjoy a reaction to Wintersun -Sons of winter and Stars (Live@Sonic Pump). People who enjoy Nightwish also tend to like reactions to bands such as Epica, Ayreon, Unleash the Archers, Wintersun, and others. Thanks for the reaction.
Ghost division reporting.. Seriously though, SAF here 😎 love nightwish
You need to react to more Nightwish music. They have made so much good music :-)
Try another Dutch singer : Epica - Consign to oblivion. She (Simone) were (and of course still are) friends while studying. Or their duet together Sancta terra. Cheers from the Netherlands !
Nightwish Army, North America Midwest, children of the corn division, reporting for duty!
Well done, picked the best version with the latest singer Floor Jansen in front of 82,000 people. Well spotted that she is at least one step beyond Amy Lee, as she has empathy in her singing not to mention range and flexibility. There are many diehard fans who love the first singer Tarja who was more operatic and set the direction for the band and some like Annette the second singer who sang in a very poppy style and gave the band variety and now we have Floor who can sing anything.
Congratulations on your first Floorgasm, welcome😁
Have a great journey 👍
Great reaction, you got another sub, and now down NW rabbit hole we go😂
She did study classical but she is a metalhead and akso studied in the rock academy. Floor was in 2 bands prior to Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp both metal bands. She can do opera and death metal growls lol
Probably the best song to begin your Nightwish adventure. Adventure, because, after this song I am sure you will want to hear more, much more. Enjoy. Chick? That's Queen Floor, the Nordic Goddess Warrior. The Nightwish rabbit hole calls.
Enya, on top of Rammstein? Oh, I approve! Welcome to the Nightwish family. 🤘😁
NWA, Floor Battalion, reporting from the USA. What, pray tell, have you stumbled upon here, my friend? What rabbit hole have you allowed yourself to fall into??? Like Aladdin rubbing the lamp, you have unearthed a power not often seen-or heard-in this world, and this has summoned us, with the clarion call of our Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. The Nightwish Army is a real thing-brace yourself! We’re coming en force. Join us, and see what magic awaits the journey you are about to embark upon. We’re with you all the way, brother!
\m/ >O< \m/
Symphonic Metal has no better example than Nightwish. Floor is the Valkyrie Goddess! She can sing anything. I wouldn't be surprised if you put a country song in front of her and she could sing that to. The band are phenomenal musicians that help bring every note to perfection. Welcome to the Nightwish Army. Love from Chicago
This is not a chick but our Dutch Charismatic Valkyrie Metal Goddess, nice to meet you.
"sounds like and entire orchestra behind it".....yup, it's backing tracks performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish, enjoy your journey down the deep, deep rabbit hole!!
continue the journey my friend, you will NOT be dissapointed ;)

This song is Floor’s favorite, still gives me chills each time I hear it. Side note, where do I get a cap like you are wearing?

Hey, this was not the opener, this is more or less at the end of the gig. The opener would be "Dark Chest Of Wonders"
It was #13 of 15 songs I believe.
