Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This song is all about eternal storytelling. It's written for the previous singer, Anette Olzon, who did it very well on the record "Imaginaerum, 2011". On this live performance Floor did the operatic parts by herself instead of the choir of the album version. She's a vocal monster, as we all know.
After this concert. All knew, Floor save Nightwish, and Nightwish save Floor. Awesome 🤘🤗 And yes,you are so right. Floor is a Storyteller. A real Edema Ruh. (Ok Tuomas too, hihi😅😇).
@@pietkeizer5216 Hello, des you are right. But the break from AF, and then she formed her Band ReVamp, and then she became her Burn Out/Depression. In this time, over 1 year, she was totally out of Music and life. Greetings from northern Germany
Floor takes all of the songs written for previous singers to a whole new level. Nightwish is a very unique type of metal. It is feel good music. The metal sound simply add an intense amount of energy and power to the songs. Loved it SoFie! Be well. See you very soon, I hope?
we don't call it headbang. we say The dutch windmill, since Floor is dutch :-) This was not her first show. She had been a fill-in for about ten months here. But not long after she became a full member
I can't wait to see more from you reacting to Nightwish. I love the show from Wacken but I think it's time for you to see other places too. My suggestion is to turn to Buenos Aires and see "I Want My Tears Back" or "Dead Boys Poem".
Hello SoFie. Welcome to nightwish's greatest army. As a Soldier, you have to promote the bend as much as possible. Tell friends your family everyone. Let them hear what Nightwish can do. And buy as many albums as possible from this best bend.
Floor is a badass…she’s my story time! 🥰 That look that Tuomas(keyboardist) gives, “Yep…we’ve got a keeper!” Sofie, welcome to the Nightwish Army! Nightwish army Los Angeles reporting in!
It’s almost two years ago I watched your videos for the first time and probably 20 -30 times since then. I love it every time. It’s a shame I cannot add ‘Likes’ every time. You are such a lovely person, thank you for exsisting.
What is behind their smiles is the relief after a stressful period marked by the aftermath of Tarja's departure in 2005 (Tuomas wrote the poet and the pendulum about that period with dark thoughts), circumstances of that event and the search for a replacement that could handle the songs. For Floor, this concert was coming after a burnout period after loosing her band, when she was very depressed and lost, not knowing what and how to do regarding music . So for all, this concert was the freedom after years of darkness. This is why it is so great as she was with them for a couple of months. You can see this release through out the concert with the smiles, Floor's stage presence and happines, the behaviour very clear of Emppu that was walking on the stage touching everybody and the headbanging and Marko who plays the bass relaxed, Jukka's energy on the drums and the eyes of Toumas, all stating practically "we can keep going on and do what we like as best as we can, writting and playing live music at the highest standard and it was all worth it".
This wasn’t her first time with the band either officially or unofficially. She wasn’t announced as a full time vocalist at this point and her first show was in Seattle 2012
Yep, I saw Nightwish (with Kamelot!) in October of 2012. A week later, Anette was out and Floor was in as a temporary member or whatever they called her back then.
It was the first time in Europe at a major event. Floor and the band had some time to play and fine tune the songs to her voice, but almost none in the crowd had heard her do the songs before. (this was before massive youtube uploads of phone videos). I think that surprise when expecting merely a great concert and then getting this, is one reason for the atmosphere in this concert. Sadly those surprises are a thing of the past.
4:55 As she stuns you with her raw demanding alluring tempting Cleopatra presence on the stage she stuns you even more with her siren voice that could have crushed the walls of Jericho
Can we, finally and officially agree that Nightwish is THE BEST BAND OF THE WORLD. Whether you like the music or not but there's no doubt about the quality of their music and performance. Each memeber of the band is absolutely one of the best musicians worldwide, Tuomas is an astoundingly talented songwriter, composer and coriographer and Floor is just Floor - goddess of voice.
I love this reaction. I can't get over how happy you were watching it, but then again, I totally understand, because that's me too. I love this song. You're so right that the band feels so happy in this song and you can see it, but like you also said, it's the whole concert that they are like this. Also, I am like this any time I listen to Nightwish. Love them so much. I have to admit, I had a laugh too during the build up when you said you weren't ready, because I knew what was coming lol. That part of this song, how she lets loose with that fast melodic head voice. It's almost like a chant or something. Angelic. Then she rolls it right into that beautiful chorus. It gets me every time. Every time. The bass riff is pretty sick too. They're all amazing. Also yes, she has that windmill down. I don't think I have ever seen a better one. When I watched Ghost Love Score the first time, I was so pleasantly surprised to see this song, because I wouldn't have thought she had that in her, too. Maybe try Your is an Empty Hope if you want to see further surprises from her. I think you should also do I Want My Tears Back (Beunos Aires) if you liked the energy here!
Sofie about Floor windmilling :"And every time her hair fals back perfectly to the sides of her face". That's practice Sofie. She trained it by bicycling in Dutch weather: Wind, rain, WInd, rain, Wind, more rain, Wind and more Wind. And somehow when you go back, the wind has always changed direction 180 degrees and you're in for another battle. All Dutch people who used a bike to get to school have this kind of hair. We wouldn't be able to see otherwise. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Nightwish never disappoints you. They are super musicians, instrumental and the great voices. And they always tell you a little story 🌟 ⭐ FLOOR JANSEN is a Coach and sings any style or genre. She is a soprano, with a range of more than three octaves (D3 to F6). Her singing style varies from opera to screaming and grunting. Mostly zingt ze in English, but she also sung songs in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish. Please more NIGHTWISH🤘🔥💥 ℓσνє♡*from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
The energy we all feel is truly the fairytail story behind her and the band and how they got together,. we feel the gratitude they have for each other it couldn't be better on a human level, they play so so so good first and foremost for eachotrher
Nightwish Army Germany checking in. This song oozes energy from second one on....and when Floor starts the Windmill you know all will be good. This is a real Feel-Good-Song. Thanks for the Reaction and as General Gabriel said: Welcome to the Family. As someone once said: Do you hear the rumble drawing near? They are many. They are strong. They are passionate. But in all fairness - they are a pretty fun bunch to hang around with. It's called: The Nightwish Army. Again - Welcome. Next Stop maybe: Ghost Love Score or Everdream from Wacken 2013 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 !
Hi from the UK Sofie. Well..you nailed that reaction! This is an utterly professional group of talented musicians with a vocal gymnast. Floor really captivates with her range and exuberance and is a masterful practitioner of her art! Best wishes and stay safe.
So much fun watching you react to Nightwish again. Got into your channel with your previous Nightwish reaction, stayed for Buffy, and had forgotten all about Nightwish on this channel! :D
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!
Floor used to be in a dutch band called after for ever, after the band spit up the guitarist started Epica , they have a song sancta terra featuring floor sings a duet with simone . from that same era there is also a band with in temptation an other great band. you should try them there all dutch female singers with operatic voices
They look so happy because this concert is the culmination of them almost cancelling a US tour because they parted with their former singer, taking a chance and calling in Floor to help finish the tour, and then about 10 months later this massive concert when they knew they had found their perfect singer, and asked her to be their permanent vocalist. I am certain that is why they all look so happy, and so relaxed. They have achieved what they always searched for.
Totally. This song was quite near the end of the set, and it might even be the song when they all realised they'd got the singer they were always meant to have.
@@grahamkey8496 Interestingly, you can tell which part of the concert you are watching based upon how Floor is dressed. She is wearing the pants in the first half, does wardrobe change during Last of the Wilds, the only song she doesn’t sing in, then after she has the Valkyrie leather skirt. So looking at Storytime, it is earlier in the show! Ghost Love Score was 3rd to last, then Song of myself, which is amazing pulling those off back to back! But back to your point, I think you are entirely correct!
They all are my heroes. You're right about the drummer, he's a beast. Jukka, who sadly had to stop touring because of his longtime chronic insomnia. He's still working with the band in the background. He's been described as a human metronome. It's just so mind-blowing, how one band has all of these superstar performers together, yet no one is trying to steal the show. Guitar solos are just enough and not too much, Marko sings when he's needed for harmonies although he's the main singer of another band. They do it for the love of art. And when you recognise that in performers, it makes you fall in love too.
Hi! I agree you, hearing or seeing Nightwish is like comming home! 😉 I also did think that. Metal music has so many different styles, from classic rock to really hard heavy metal, like death-, black- or gothic matal as example. Now you've find a style what you like, and what i love, symphonic metal! I love this song and Floor, she sings it so great and beautiful! The whole conzert! It's like she's made for the band! Tuomas, the keyboarder and mastermind of NW, once sayed about Floor "now she's at home!" For this short time she's with NW she did such a great job! Like you sayed, nobody would think this songs are not written for her. I hope we see some new NW reactions from you because i like your NW reactions! Maybe a little harder one next? Than "Song of myself" or "Romanticide". Or the show opener "Dark chest of wonders", all from the same show in Wacken '13. I like all 3 songs very much and i think you would like them too! You also could do "Nemo" or "I wish i had an angel" from that show next, they are not so heavy. I wish you a beautiful weekend and see you next time. 🤘 Bye!
The thing is, there are so many genres and even more subgenres in metal that when you say you're not into metal music you most likely just haven't heard the right one. For me it was Nightwish back in the late 90's that opened the door to metal. Then there was Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Amorphis...
Nice that you noticed how happy they all look. I love this video anyway, but even more for that. After all the struggle band had earlier, you really can see pure joy here, how well everything turned out to be. This is my all time favourite for the reason, that I think this gig (in general) sealed the decision, that Floor is the one for the band.
This song (and entire concert) happens when five (or 6) very talented musicians are doing exactly what they love doing at exactly the right time, End Result: Perfection, Thanks for a wonderful post, I really enjoyed your reaction. Please keep it going. TC
Welcome to the army girl, i'm 45 in a month and since Queen back in Freddy's day i never saw another band having such a blast playing together... until i saw Nightwish!
Thank you for this great reaction. Nightwish is such an awesome band! The music and lyrics are beautiful! I would love to hear what you think of the greatest show on earth the Tampere version. Greetings from the Netherlands! ❤️ Nightwish
I had never expected to see people head banging on operatic music but Nightwish mad that possible and not something that would be too crazy. I love it.
Hi Sofie. Wow!! A smile from beginning to end.... I absolutely love to see people get so happy and pulled in by this band. Your smiles just made my day. Floor is indeed a rare and very special individual. She develops an immediate relationship to the song and lyrics by creating the story from the narrator's perspective and telling it to the crowd. She doesn't just tell the story, she acts it out. She also has "musical theater" knowledge under her belt which has always been essential to her arsenal which she believes is extremely important when telling a story. She assumes the role of either the storyteller or a character in the story. Either way, it's magical and it all goes without saying that her ability to use her voice as she feels it is needed in the story is incredibly perfect! I have a special request... It's a slower song, more like a ballad. I would like you to hear Floor's softer side, it's a slow 4-4 and it stays that way. It's called "Sleeping Sun" live at the Masters of Rock 2016. ruclips.net/video/pVPTUEW1PEM/видео.html Hope you like it. Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤️🤘🤘
Haha, freakin' love your face when she has her high notes😂😂😉 Sofie: Queen...... 0.5 seconds later 😲😲😲😲 Cracked me up and I know beforehand I would see it😂😂😘
This was towards the end of this tour. She had sung with them for several months by the time this Wacken show happened. She still was technically a substitute singer at this point though. They made her permanent after the tour was over.
I think I've probably watched every NW live performance out there. This is my favorite one. Storytime, Wacken 2013, this is where my soul rests forever now. The music itself, the smiles from the whole band, the audience having the time of their life, it's picture perfect. And the improv finale by Floor (it's not part of the written song!)
She had been with them for 10 months by this point. For many of the 82,000 attendees, this was their first time hearing her. She really is the perfect fit for them. As Tuomas has said, If Floor ever leaves, there is no more Nightwish. Tuomas's music is very complex, even more so on their most recent albums. Symphonic Metal has so many wonderful vocalists, of which Floor is the epitome. Also check out music by Epica, Within Temptation, Ayeron, and Amaranthe.
Hello Sofie. If you mix heavy metal, a harmonious voice, two talking guitars and a piano, the result is LOVEBITES. Give yourself the opportunity to meet them. They will surprise you, because of the enormous talent they have. If you are going to react to any of his live videos, let them be with the Tokyo live. A big hug
There is metal for everybody, it's just the matter of finding the kind you like. Whatever you like in music, someone somewhere had tried to make metal out of it)))) Nightwish is in my sweet spot too and there is a ton of great "adjacent" stuff to check out. There are other great symphonic metal bands like Within Temptation, Epica, or Floor's old band After Forever. For more powerful female vocalists there are Nightwish's two previous leads, or Halestorm, or Oceans of Slumber, or anything that Anneke van Giersbergen has ever done. For a combo of massive wall of sound with great vocals there is the one and only Devin Townsend. If you want a metal musical, check out Ayreon.... Metal is very broad and diverse, full of amazing rabbit holes ))))
And melodic proggressive-kinda stuff: Opeth. Classic. Can never go wrong listening to it. To see,what else women and metal bands can do, a total mastery of musicality and mixing styles: Jinjer (A word of warning, though, that's harder most times)
Loved your reaction. This song makes me so happy. Also, glad another woman (who is not interested in women) is absolutely in love with this woman. You look at her the way I do. lol Enjoy the ride!
Hi SoFie, I can tell you a little secret on Floor's hair falling perfectly straight right after banging: she stands in front of a big fan on the floor that blows it backwards!
Queen,Pink Floyd, Nightwish(not complete ofc)- all Bands with really professional passioned musicians,like said in other places, they can sing the telephone book of neversomewherevillage- backwards or diagonal. as long as Tuomen does the setup,and nightwish play it, i will be mezmerized. oh, and dont worry, my wife, also an valkyria for herself, is also in love with her. we men only can stand aside and hope, our ladies dont pack their cases and travel to sweden:D
You are not the only one who love Floor when she sings. Nothing wrong with it, she deserves it. I do too, Dutch male 81 years old, and since one year adicted to Nightwish with Floor. Floor can sing anything One suggestion:, give your opnion on Floor when she sings a cover of the lady Gaga song, Shallow on the Dutch tv show "Beste zangers". Stay healthy dear lady.

I hope you understand you're one of us now, fan of Nightwish, fan of Floor. Just to be clear. Welcome to the family :)
You right Gabriel, by the way when a soul is captured by Nightwish and Floor, well, the fate is sealed forever ;-)
"I hope you understand you're one of us now" - that doesn't sound threatening at all~
@@fnglert Gabriel... taking a page from the Borg Playbook.
As some said, Floor is our Nightwitch ✌️😎

Floor commanding the ARMY, such a badass, great reaction mam.
Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This song is all about eternal storytelling.

On this live performance Floor did the operatic parts by herself instead of the choir of the album version. She's a vocal monster, as we all know.
After this concert. All knew, Floor save Nightwish, and Nightwish save Floor. Awesome 🤘🤗 And yes,you are so right. Floor is a Storyteller. A real Edema Ruh. (Ok Tuomas too, hihi😅😇).
Floor was born to sing with Nightwish. Nightwish was formed to play with Floor.
It just took some time for them to realize it.
Nightwish saved Floor? Revamp and Floor was also a good combination Ralph
@@pietkeizer5216 it was. Until her burnout.
@@pietkeizer5216 Hello, des you are right. But the break from AF, and then she formed her Band ReVamp, and then she became her Burn Out/Depression. In this time, over 1 year, she was totally out of Music and life. Greetings from northern Germany
And she saved me! Loved Floor since After Forever and Nightwish since Century Child. Both parts coming together was the biggest gift to me
Floor takes all of the songs written for previous singers to a whole new level. Nightwish is a very unique type of metal. It is feel good music. The metal sound simply add an intense amount of energy and power to the songs. Loved it SoFie! Be well. See you very soon, I hope?
One thousand percent agree! She is the full package from singing to delivery to emotion. And of course the band itself is top notch!
I love how you see the happiness- in the fans, in the band, it’s infectious! Screw Disneyland, that concert was the happiest place on earth.
This is without a doubt my favourite reaction to any Nightwish song. Your unadulterated pleasure and joy from beginning to end is so uplifting.
we don't call it headbang. we say The dutch windmill, since Floor is dutch :-) This was not her first show. She had been a fill-in for about ten months here. But not long after she became a full member
I can't wait to see more from you reacting to Nightwish. I love the show from Wacken but I think it's time for you to see other places too. My suggestion is to turn to Buenos Aires and see "I Want My Tears Back" or "Dead Boys Poem".
Floor's "Wind mills" powers half of Europe :-)
Hello SoFie.
Welcome to nightwish's greatest army.
As a Soldier, you have to promote the bend as much as possible.
Tell friends your family everyone.
Let them hear what Nightwish can do.
And buy as many albums as possible from this best bend.

It`s great to see how much you just love her. You and me both!
Your reaction made me very happy, I love when others appreciate Nightwish and Floor and I think their name should be everywhere, household names.
We all love Floor! Every note she sings, and every move she makes! ❤
Floor is a badass…she’s my story time! 🥰 That look that Tuomas(keyboardist) gives, “Yep…we’ve got a keeper!” Sofie, welcome to the Nightwish Army! Nightwish army Los Angeles reporting in!

I hope we see some new NW reactions from you because i like your NW reactions! Maybe a little harder one next? Than "Song of myself" or "Romanticide". Or the show opener "Dark chest of wonders", all from the same show in Wacken '13. I like all 3 songs very much and i think you would like them too! You also could do "Nemo" or "I wish i had an angel" from that show next, they are not so heavy.
I wish you a beautiful weekend and see you next time. 🤘 Bye!
I love your reactions! Makes me love the band even more!
The thing is, there are so many genres and even more subgenres in metal that when you say you're not into metal music you most likely just haven't heard the right one.
For me it was Nightwish back in the late 90's that opened the door to metal. Then there was Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Amorphis...
The band completes her, and she the band. They're home together, and oh how it shows! So glad to have you as a member of the Nightwish Army/family!
Floor was 10 months touring with Nightwish and a month after this concert she became an official member
Jukka, the drumer is a beast ... you nailed it.
Nice that you noticed how happy they all look. I love this video anyway, but even more for that. After all the struggle band had earlier, you really can see pure joy here, how well everything turned out to be. This is my all time favourite for the reason, that I think this gig (in general) sealed the decision, that Floor is the one for the band.
That's the best 41/2min smile i`ve ever seen. More Nightwish Sophie please. You know you wanna :)
This song (and entire concert) happens when five (or 6) very talented musicians are doing exactly what they love doing at exactly the right time, End Result: Perfection, Thanks for a wonderful post, I really enjoyed your reaction. Please keep it going. TC
My Queen whom I serve Floorever!
Welcome to the army girl, i'm 45 in a month and since Queen back in Freddy's day i never saw another band having such a blast playing together... until i saw Nightwish!
They always have fun at stage. The one of most positive and talented metal bands:)
Loved your reaction to this 1 your gorgeous face just beaming and never stop smiling all the way through this 1!
Thank you for this great reaction. Nightwish is such an awesome band! The music and lyrics are beautiful! I would love to hear what you think of the greatest show on earth the Tampere version. Greetings from the Netherlands! ❤️ Nightwish
Great reaction 👍😉
Nightwish Army 🖤🖤
We were here 🤘💪🤯
Hi SoFieReacts
Thank you for reacting to Nightwish.
Welcome th the Nightwish familie.
Greetings from Denmark
I had never expected to see people head banging on operatic music but Nightwish mad that possible and not something that would be too crazy. I love it.
Great reaction Sofie. Always a pleasure to watch you. Cheers ;)
Hi Sofie.
Wow!! A smile from beginning to end....
I absolutely love to see people get so happy and pulled in by this band. Your smiles just made my day.
Floor is indeed a rare and very special individual.
She develops an immediate relationship to the song and lyrics by creating the story from the narrator's perspective and telling it to the crowd. She doesn't just tell the story, she acts it out.
She also has "musical theater" knowledge under her belt which has always been essential to her arsenal which she believes is extremely important when telling a story.
She assumes the role of either the storyteller or a character in the story. Either way, it's magical and it all goes without saying that her ability to use her voice as she feels it is needed in the story is incredibly perfect!
I have a special request...
It's a slower song, more like a ballad. I would like you to hear Floor's softer side, it's a slow 4-4 and it stays that way. It's called "Sleeping Sun" live at the Masters of Rock 2016.

Hope you like it.
Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed.
😊❤️🤘🤘
Floor is the catch ... now you are a Nightwish fan , completely agreed with Gabriel Bardac ... You are one of us now ...
Its overhelming of beauty in here, Floor and you
I felt in love with Miss Floor Jansen Queen of Metal a gift to Human Kind, when she was in After Forever specially the song Beyond Me...
Haha, freakin' love your face when she has her high notes😂😂😉 Sofie: Queen...... 0.5 seconds later 😲😲😲😲 Cracked me up and I know beforehand I would see it😂😂😘
YaY SoFie is back !! 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
Pure magic from a mega talent
Another epic performance
True, Nightwish is always pure gold.
Floor is an enigma, other worldly. Just incredible!
The Goddess is a fabulous storyteller 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Tuomas Holopainen Keybordplayer, songwriter, composer Of NIGHTWISH. FI.
This was towards the end of this tour. She had sung with them for several months by the time this Wacken show happened. She still was technically a substitute singer at this point though. They made her permanent after the tour was over.
I think I've probably watched every NW live performance out there. This is my favorite one. Storytime, Wacken 2013, this is where my soul rests forever now. The music itself, the smiles from the whole band, the audience having the time of their life, it's picture perfect. And the improv finale by Floor (it's not part of the written song!)
Lol. I'm 💯% with you. She is in every way captivating.
"I Love Her"
Get in line.🤣😄 Your ticket starts in the tens of millions. 🤣😄😍
We are all in love Sofie. Welcome home!
This is my most viewed reaction. I view it now for the 8th time. I love this reaction.
Great reaction! Nightwish 4ever...
Lol, yep - there it is! Looking forward to mor Nightwish with you !
Awesome! Awesome reaction.
She had been with them for 10 months by this point. For many of the 82,000 attendees, this was their first time hearing her. She really is the perfect fit for them. As Tuomas has said, If Floor ever leaves, there is no more Nightwish. Tuomas's music is very complex, even more so on their most recent albums.
Symphonic Metal has so many wonderful vocalists, of which Floor is the epitome. Also check out music by Epica, Within Temptation, Ayeron, and Amaranthe.
Loooooved your reaction! Thanks!
Hello Sofie. If you mix heavy metal, a harmonious voice, two talking guitars and a piano, the result is LOVEBITES. Give yourself the opportunity to meet them. They will surprise you, because of the enormous talent they have. If you are going to react to any of his live videos, let them be with the Tokyo live. A big hug
She is powerful. Like any Goddess worth her salt. They are a family… they love the magic they bring. Welcome aboard. Watch your step,
There is metal for everybody, it's just the matter of finding the kind you like. Whatever you like in music, someone somewhere had tried to make metal out of it)))) Nightwish is in my sweet spot too and there is a ton of great "adjacent" stuff to check out. There are other great symphonic metal bands like Within Temptation, Epica, or Floor's old band After Forever. For more powerful female vocalists there are Nightwish's two previous leads, or Halestorm, or Oceans of Slumber, or anything that Anneke van Giersbergen has ever done. For a combo of massive wall of sound with great vocals there is the one and only Devin Townsend. If you want a metal musical, check out Ayreon.... Metal is very broad and diverse, full of amazing rabbit holes ))))
And melodic proggressive-kinda stuff: Opeth. Classic. Can never go wrong listening to it.
To see,what else women and metal bands can do, a total mastery of musicality and mixing styles: Jinjer
(A word of warning, though, that's harder most times)
New to your channel, loving your Nightwish stuff!! I hope you do Ever Dream unless I missed it already!! lol great job keep it up!
Loved your reaction. This song makes me so happy. Also, glad another woman (who is not interested in women) is absolutely in love with this woman. You look at her the way I do. lol Enjoy the ride!
Hi SoFie, I can tell you a little secret on Floor's hair falling perfectly straight right after banging:
she stands in front of a big fan on the floor that blows it backwards!
Sofie, welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride. haha.
"... the buildup is so insane..." ---> But your reaction is also insane in a beautiful manner! From Amsterdam with love....
Queen,Pink Floyd, Nightwish(not complete ofc)- all Bands with really professional passioned musicians,like said in other places, they can sing the telephone book of neversomewherevillage- backwards or diagonal. as long as Tuomen does the setup,and nightwish play it, i will be mezmerized. oh, and dont worry, my wife, also an valkyria for herself, is also in love with her. we men only can stand aside and hope, our ladies dont pack their cases and travel to sweden:D
You are not the only one who love Floor when she sings. Nothing wrong with it, she deserves it. I do too, Dutch male 81 years old, and since one year adicted to Nightwish with Floor.
Floor can sing anything One suggestion:, give your opnion on Floor when she sings a cover of the lady Gaga song, Shallow on the Dutch tv show "Beste zangers".
Stay healthy dear lady.
Floor is bigger than life! She stands over 6ft tall and is the most powerful vocalist I've ever heard.
