I like how Marko gives zero F's for how anyone else would sing a song. He just does what Marko does.
Read the history!!Tarja is the Original singer!!!
@@katigallagher5510 thats mean nothing 😒
Yea, with his raspy voice he is Da beast :P
@@pedjavukmirovic6770 ... it does to legions of those who love her and regard her as very special...as do Floor fans who follow her to the ends of the earth
good but a tad over the top with the wailing at the very end...
I always get shivers when Marko cries, "Sing, my angel of music!"
I’ve never heard a man sing phantom better than Marco. Floor is my favorite Nightwish singer, but I like Tarjas version of this song more. But Ghost love score, Floor just destroys that song and always gives me goose bumps.
Highly under-rated comment! That line is supposed to be ominous.
My favourite part is when he sings "my power over you grows stronger yet". Yikes! It's mind blowing.
Marko does the Phantom the way he should be done... the Phantom is a deranged madman... a psychopathic killer and this take absolutely NAILS that. Webber is said to absolutely love this version. I will always hold this in a special place because this video was my introduction to Nightwish. Still gives me chills. The word masterpiece comes to mind.
same1 i remember showing my choir teacher this version in like 11th grade!
I saw them about a year before this was recorded, and I still remember the chills and goosebumps of hearing it live. I'd seen the Broadway show a couple years before, and this was so much better.
Not only is Marco a convincing Phantom, but he's playing intricate basslines while doing so.
I agree, Marco's voice fits the character of the Phantom perfectly
... if only musical directors & singers would "get it" too. The Phantom NEEDS to be growly / dark / creepy / SCARY, because that's what he is.
"it's magical". Magical is a Nightwish normal state of being.
Sadly they started losing their magic after Tarja left. Now Marko is gone.
a vocal beast indeed...she spent that entire highly acclaimed night endeavouring to stay ahead of the fever by constantly changing outfits and taking every chance to rest....one of their most acclaimed concerts....love Floor but adore Tarja since the start
Tarja is the first and original vocalist of Nightwish, with her the group recorded 5 albums (Angels fall first, Oceanborn (masterpiece), Wishmaster, Century child, Once (big album). Today Tarja pursuing a successful solo career, I really liked her latest album "In the raw". I recommend more Nightwish with Tarja:
- Slaying the dreamer, Planet hell, Wishmaster, Sleeping sun from the concert End of an era;
- Swanheart, Walking in the air, Dead boys poem, The Pharion sails to orion from the concert From Wishes to enternity (at this concert you are can really appreciate Tarja's voice);
- End of all hope, 10th man down from the Summer Breeze festival.
You forgot Over the Hills. Great list of performances though.
Wishmaster is absolutely Tarja piece of cake I don't think Floor can handle it:)
What is the difference between the first and the original?
Tarja made NIGHTWISH. Marco is an Ok singer. Sometimes you over does it. But, With Floor is it good also. But Tarja is da BEST!
Aaaah, Sleeping Sun is so good
Tarja, at first, had a devil of a time adjusting her strict classical delivery to the power metal timing, pitch and constant key changes but once she did...perfection ensued naturally and for 9 years she was unstoppable....
Tarja is legendary for blending her powerful initial, very mezzo voice so perfectly with the band that it become an instrument onto itself...their early power metal days in "from wishes to eternity" concert is a perfect example
Tarja uses red, yellow and black outfits with matching microphones as a trademark...she is indeed a vocal beast....this is from 2005..her last concert with Nightwish ..the date of liberation (the true unleashing of the vocal beast and warmest, most charasmatic personality)
And white too... As we can see in Wish I Had an Angel's song on this concert... BTW, it's my favourite concert, by far...
Best verison ever. Epic. The most beautiful mayhem. I always feel like I have to hold my breath for this whole performance.
Tarja was their original singer! ;) For me it’s my favorite but I love the 3 eras so much! She had the flu in this concert
What is the difference between the first and the original?
Glad to see a Tarja reaction pop up in my recs. Everyone always reacts to Floor and while I like her, to me Tarja IS Nightwish.
yah, everyone is reacting to gls from wacken but if they looked at other Tarja era song performances , they'd be blown away by Tarja
EXACTLY!!!
I can only agree to that, I love the Tarja with Nightwish era.
I agree 100%
Well, Tarja to be more specific, to me Tarjas vocals + Marcos vocals + Tuomas' writing + the band is Nightwish. I feel that once you take any of that away it's not the same.
I know I'm incredibly late to this comment but...I must disagree....Tuomas IS Nightwish. Everything Nightwish embodies IS Tuomas' orchestration, lyrics, melodies, instrumentals, he is the powerhouse of that band. Losing tarja was awful, but they found Floor and are still epic. Losing Marco is awful, but they can find another powerful male vocalist and instrumentalist, and they will be epic. They ever lose Tuomas...and I truly believe Nightwish will never recover.
Tarja adjusted her strict operatically trained voice to the requirements of the metal performance..while with Nightwish, she likewise brilliantly performed formal operatic pieces and to this day divides her time between her acquired love of metal and classical
And the TARJA, is the very reason, why i am NOT A FIRST TIME FLOOR FAN NO MORE!!!!!! 😮😮😮 WOW!!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍👍
Tarja's hauntingly dark, resonant voice which so blissfully fills any room she happens to be in, regardless of size...many great performances her and in "from wishes to eternity" concert
@@chrisbergsten1429 amen...be great if we could blend the two in some type of perfect amalgam
It doesn't get much better than this. A world class performance if there ever was one. Gives me the chills everytime.
The singing is perfect from both Tarja and especially Marko and they adjust to each other ... AND the arrangement of the piece supports this merger of the voices perfectly.
The Islander Live has to be next! Marco is an amazing singer and it's very well reflected in that performance!
Oh yes
@@EmBaMusik or High Hopes
Hard agree
If you liked Tarja you've only just scratched the surface, I recommend Walking in the Air from the Wishes to Eternity concert or Wishmaster from End of an Era
I'll add Slaying the Dreamer and the Siren from End of an Era."
Sleeping sun. The studio version.
Toumas, Tarja and Emppu formed Nightwish in highschool in 1996. And her voice allways fellt like a 5th instrument rather then a lead singer, Nightwish was all about the music created by Toumas back then ;-)
The best version of the song I have heard!
I cannot remember which interview Tarja mentioned this in, but she did talk about the microphone vs classically singing without one. She mentioned that when she first started with Nightwish, she had trouble with just letting the microphone do its work and kept pushing really hard. I think the phrase she used was, "singing like there was a potato in the back of my mouth". But she mastered it very well. Honestly, her sound and her dedication to her craft are such an inspiration. She's done live performances on Instagram since the pandemic started and it's lovely to hear her voice in its natural state.
yah i loved those ..the vocal splendor, Q&a sessions..so bubbly and genuine..loved it..miss those lately
@@perfectone5848 Her voice sounds so much like my old voice teacher's voice who was such a great mentor to me. It was so comforting to hear Tarja singing like that during the beginning terror of the pandemic. She and Floor have both done so much to reach out to their fans during this time and it has been very fun to learn more about both of them!
@@xfortunesquex ... i hear you...i am still in Tarja withdrawal mode from those sessions...at least Floor has taken over, in that area...Tarja and Floor are great inspirations to me as well...i followed them both from the early days and was always in awe of their persistence to excel...and while today's NW fans are fairly aware of Floor's class and fan appreciative nature , the equally sweet nature of Tarja is somewhat unknown to those who had not been exposed to her....this explains why many still believe the misstatements with which Tuomas has labeled her all those years back...
@@perfectone5848 They seem to both be wonderful people. Anette is really nice, too, from what I see. I think Tarja and Anette both get a bad reputation because they were both dismissed from the band. People don't realize that it's way more complicated than that. And I do think both decisions appear, at least on the surface, to have been handled less than ideally. That isn't to say that I have any malice toward Tuomas or the band; it was just very unfortunate how it happened and was a difficult decision all around. Truly, a situation where nobody wins.
@@xfortunesquex ..yes all three ladies are very nice...and i personally have no ill will towards Tuomas...but the way he dealt with Tarja was dishonorable , especially, since she, out of loyalty to him, agreed to remain in the band but under her terms to which they agreed and then began to resent...his claims about her canceling concert, for instance, referred to, not the original one in Oslo, for which she had adequate notice, but the impromptu one, the following night, for which she received a very short notice and turned it down because of her commitment with someone else ( she was already in the proces of establishing her solo career and put that partially on hold to fulfill her obligations with Tuomas...and the pivotal statement " i can leave at any time" that she made was in reference to her being already partially independent and was said out of heat of passion after learning that they were not going to accept the earlier stipulation that the tours will be very limited, given her health concerns and need for a personal life...he then goes on to say that as a result of this statement, he can no longer write songs for her...fine then..call it quits and let her go to pursue her own career..but no
I saw them in this tour and Tarja (original singer, Floor is the 3rd) and she changed dresses and microphones with the same colour all the concert.
"Shivering shizkebabs". Need to remember that.
Marko is outstanding, loved his vocals.
Marco has such a unique voice. I love him. He has a band called Tarot. He recently came out with a solo self-titled work, realeased with both english and finnish lyrics.
Tarja was sick as a dog during that performance. High fever and throwing up between songs.
And still planted that presence, performance and that high note.
Came to hear Tarja and was more impressed by Marko. For me he is the incarnation of the phantom. Love his voice in this piece and the interaction with Tarja. Getting goosebumps every time i hear it. Please react to Stones or The Voice of my father by Marko Hietala from his soloalbum.
Marko doing Floyd's "High Hopes" from the same concert is well worth a gander. I predict you'll enjoy that just as much,
Tarja Turunen is the band's original vocalist. Nightwish has 9 studio albums, 5 with Tarja, 2 with Anette and 2 with Floor, the current singer. Tarja was sick at this performance and was advised by the doctors not to sing, thats why you noticed her tired breathing. She had flue or something like that. I would like to suggest another great performance with Tarja. Please react to "Swanheart", recorded on the dvd "From wishes to eternity". Thank you!
What is the difference between the first and the original?
@@wearehere8925 I see no difference. The original singer is the first vocalist of the band. Tuomas, Tarja and Empuu founded Nightwish. They are the beginning of everything. Tuomas had in mind to create the band and decided to call Tarja and Empuu. The three were friends from school.
@@Rafael-qi9bt It was a joke !
@@wearehere8925 hahahahaha
Tarja was their original vocalist. Her termination from the band was quite dramatic, but she has gone on to a kick ass solo career.💜
Yeah!! With the song: diva!
I absolutely love her solo career, rather not solo career but I love her band Tarja 😍
What is the difference between the first and the original?
@@wearehere8925 Google it
@@MiguelLopez-is9te It was a joke !
I've been told the doctor adviced Tarja not to perform that night. That's why she sounded a little out of breath.
my understanding of it , as well...a real diva ..haha....she also showed her alleged, selfishness by returning to the stage to finish out 4 more songs, ( on a night in 2000) after being attacked 20 some minutes prior , on that night, while in the middle of performance....she stated that she struggled for 20 some seconds with the assailant, until her manager jumped in and defended her, while security was lax and the boys just continued to play as though nothing happened..there is a clip of it on youtube..just look for Ataque de Tarja
Who told you ?
@@perfectone5848The Only act that her manager did right !
@@wearehere8925 Just some Nightwish fans. I believe them, but that's just me!
@@wearehere8925 ...its yet another perfect example of her love and appreciation of the fans...Marcelo ADVISED HER AGAINST going on that last night to safeguard against possible serious damage, but she did it anyway because that is the pro she is...and even in her most weakened, she performed brilliantly in this, one of their most celebrated concerts...while Tuomas, the martyr, went to tie one one with his half-drunk buddies, while all, the exhausted Tarja could do is collapse into bed...she showed them mercy by answering treachery with discretion and that is what saved them from complete collapse...far more than they ever deserved...though happy for Floor having the opportunity to shine after her burnout ( never understood that, remembering how great she was in After Forever and REvamp)...
I love this Phantom of the Opera so much!! Wonderfully atmospheric, Marko and Tarja are superb!
Tarja was the original trailblazer.
Without her in Nightwish from the early days on there probably wouldn´t have been a Nightwish worth talkking about today.
Nowadays,-
several beside her,- no one above her!
She needs to prove herself to no one.
During her time in Nightwish Tarja reigned supreme.
no probably, about it..before finding her Tuomas 's greatest ambition was to form a mood music group...
Tarja is my absolute favorite Nightwish lead singer. Her voice is freaking amazing and i love her so much. Thank you for reacting to these videos
amen to that...she encompasses so many disparate flavors and nuances in her delivery that its as though one is hearing her for the first time, each instance a new live recording is unveiled
I was waiting for this reaction man. Clicked faster than The Flash
Me too!
Aaaha savior of the universe
I LOVE seeing Marko receive so much deserved praise!
Great reaction! Thank you very much Ken Lavigne!
Tarja Turunen was the original Nightwish vocalist for almost a decade, defining a big part of their sound with her classically infused vocal techniques which combined perfectly with Nightwish's inicial power metal and later symphonic metal sound, and also with Marco's vocals, as you noticed it was a perfect match in every way!
The great thing is that Tarja has been having an amazing solo career in the last 15 years... Her voice is really high (her last note on this one is an Eb6), but also a full and really powerfull sound (and in her career she always keeps on experimenting new things with her vocals, including a haunting dark and lower register she can belt out), plus having this theatrical presence on stage... I'm really glad you liked it!
As a sugestion, I'll leave you 3 links for some essential Live performances by Tarja Turunen solo in recent years:
1st - A very energetic Live version of "Victim of Ritual" (song composed by Tarja)... the crowd really goes wild at this one - from Woodstock festival: ruclips.net/video/GxDnhbGTJSs/видео.html
2nd - An unbeliavable version of "Supremacy" (a Muse cover) Live at Hellfest festival - Very powerfull high notes: ruclips.net/video/wmMBI_0X3oE/видео.html
3rd - As an amzing follow up to the Nightwish video you just watched, here it is "Stargazers" in a Live performance where Tarja surpassed even hersef in the studio version from Nightwish's legendary "Oceanborn" album... its simply a Perfect and unmatched redition: ruclips.net/video/2Hl2ibaUvcQ/видео.html (starting at 40.56min)
I hope you enjoy these ones as much as I do! Cheers! \m/ \m/
After this performance, Tarja (The female singer) was kicked from the band with an open letter. In 2017 Tarja and Marko (The male singer) performed together at a christmas show and that´s when Marko and Tarja reconnected and later in 2023 they performed the Phantom of the opera together at one of Tarja´s shows. They saw how much people loved that they´re performing together again after 18 years and Marko wanted Tarja to feature on his new song "Left on mars".
An interview dropped yesterday and Marko told that they have no bad blood between them nowadays and they have talked through everything that happened almost two decades ago, and they did multiple shows together in 2023. Just lovely.
Tarja is an unbelievable vocalist. Marko is very powerful and amazing vocals too. Drummer is excellent too.
Thanks for doing this "Phantom of the Opera" reaction video on Nightwish's version with Tarja Turunen. It's so great to see how you enjoy this show. Your eyes are gleaming. :-) Yeah, Marco and Tarja absolutely nailed it. I'm always happy when Tarja gets the recognition she deserves as about 90% of the NW reaction vids feature Floor these days. Both singers are amazing. Keep it coming.
The thing with Tarja is ... you could have cut off her microphone at the end and they'd still have been able to hear her ...
yap, she trained to do just that...
Marko's voice had to be muted so that it would not obscure Tarja's voice!
Likewise, there is songs where the sound of the backing track choir had to be muted for the same reason !
@@mylife3350 - That's not the point I was making. Have them both on stage, no mic and then move away from them while they sing at the top of their voices. I betcha you can hear Tarja long after you can't hear Marco anymore. I assume you never attended an opera?
@@haraldschuster3067 I do know Caruso ,Callas and so on start with !
@@mylife3350 - You haven't seen them live, though (I assume, unless you are allergic to garlic and spend the nights in a coffin). When you - as I do - record concerts you experience how much power a pop or rock singer has and what comes out of the mouth of a fully trained opera singer. Being able to sing - without aid of amplification - over a full orchestra so that you can be heard in the farthest balcony is a skill that takes years of training and most singers can't do that for an entire opera, maybe for an aria and then they're exhausted. Tarja has trained for lyrical singing - that requires a level of power and projection that only a small percentage of singers can manage. Marko has his own qualities - I never heard someone able to add rasp to his falsetto in the way he does, absolutely amazing - but he doesn't have the same level of projection. It's not a good or bad thing, it's a technical thing that doesn't matter when microphones are used (except for the guy who has to do the mix).
Tarja is a literal Siren. Her voice is so hypnotic...
I love Tarja, so much!!!
Tarja was how I was first introduced to nightwish back in high school. Her voice is soo powerful and haunting.
the issue with this rendition of the song is that it's SO MUCH BETTER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE. It gives me "bdsm in a haunted mansion". Marko is a beast with that voice, Tarja is a seraphim
you can spend a day watching reactions to this song just to see folks react to Marko.
The Phantom was originally going to be performed by a rock singer, actually, which is one of the reasons why rock works so well as a genre for this song. The even did a rock-style version of this song as a promo for the musical. But then they changed gears completely and chose Michael Crawford, and his performance was very different, but also what 90% of his successors have tried to emulate in their own performances since the musical as a whole was just such a revolution in the musical world.
Would love to see you do Romanticide live Wacken 2013 for some more Marko (& Floor) awesomeness
islander.... for ,me..
Or ghost river!
@@rainrai he definitely needs to do Islander that song is amazing
The Islander is absolutely a must do, but he’s only done 3 Nightwish songs so far and I feel like that will be better appreciated a little further along his journey 🙂
Really cool reaction. It's nice to see you reacting to NW songs with their first singer Tarja. You should react to some of Tarja's solo songs too. Check out Tarja's version of "Supremacy" (a Muse cover) live at Woodstock 2016, it's an amazing performance and it showcase her great vocal abilyties.
Tapani M sorry to correct you but this is not a nightwish song, its a cover of a musical song. I personal prefer reactions on songs written by Nightwish Tuomas (sometimes Marko). Does not mean Tarja and Marko did not perform a great cover, they sure did but its not Nightwish.
"I got shivers, well I'm sure you guys did when you first hear it" how about every time, for years and years, and the rest to come.
amen to that...its as incredible as the very first time one hears Tarja
Kiitos!!!
MARKO makes this an amazing performance. His Phantom is crazed and mesmerizing and Rocking.
Hi, new subscriber here, one thing you should know, the band fired Tarja with an open letter at the end of this concert. A very sad day in Nightwish's history. I love Floor Jansen but Tarja will always have a place in my heart.
actually, they(or rather Tuomas, who's rule was indisputable) disassociated himself from Tarja, since her contract was with the label...she could have challenged it and exposed the facts behind their specious letter, but it is not in her nature to act vindictively...
please react to Nightwish 'high hopes' for more of Marcos singing. and yes it is a Pink Floyd cover...
yes we need this
THIS!!!!!!! and it shows Emppu's style really well!
Absolutely!!! :D
Yes please!!
Think TAF. Tarja, Anette, Floor. Now you just have to do Floor and Henk Poort's Phantom from Beste Zangers.
As much as I like this version, the one Floor performed on Beste Zangers pleased my ears more completely. Floor sings with her childhood Idol Henk Poort, and the chemistry is amazing. Thank you for reviewing this version.
Nightwish is Awesome!! ..they are an Amazing Finnish group,love this song. And more..
High Hopes is a must and a perfect continuity piece for this song. Marco's solo piece from the same concert.
Entertaining reaction with new insight to technical aspect, thanks!
I love how in the third verse Tarja sings the main part with Marco "interrupting" and then Marko takes the lead in the chorus with Tarja singing the harmony until the roles reverse for the last line at "The Phaaaaaaaantom [...] Miiiiiiind". And the lead voice at "The Phantom of the Opera is there" sings an octave lower than the harmony with a mellow tone then and jumps to the same octave and goes full power while the harmony voice goes full power at the start and gets more mellow to the end.
And for the 4th verse and chorus, all of that is the same except the roles are reversed
Fucking brilliant...
Young Marco, already a vocal beast.
Check out the cover of "High Hopes" from the same concert for more of his, he really puts in a lot of emotion.
Tarja was also a founding memeber of NW. ❤️🤘🏻
And Marko is THE voice of Finland 🤘🏻
As others have said, Tarja did that while VERY ill. I would love to hear that when she is at full strength. And Marko killed it.
ruclips.net/video/UFUf50OTSXM/видео.html ... ruclips.net/video/-Zv-0o9DcIY/видео.html
Good one there Ken!
Very impressive performance of both Marko and Tarja! One of the fans' favourites!
And what a phantom that is! 🙂 Oh Marko he is always exceptional!
marko is a beast, listen to romanticide at waken 2013, marko and floor are crazy good togeter
This is a great version, but my personal favorite is with Floor Jansen and Henk Poort on the TV show Beste Zangers. Henk was the Dutch Phantom for quite a while, and Floor's idol growing up. They have some amazing chemistry. Give it a listen. Thank you for reacting to this one too. Nicely done Sir.
Hi! Please react to Tarja - Supremacy (live Woodstock 2016). Tarja - I Walk Alone (live in Rosario, Argentina). Tarja is amazing! What a voice!!
Tarja is their first vocalist ☺️
In before someone says and their best :P, (I think they're all amazing tbh)
she is very special. indeed...as is Floor, in many ways
What is the difference between the first and the original?
WE ARE HERE huh? He said he thought Tarja was their second, so I commented saying she was their first
She was the First. When I was at the Tour it was called the Once-Tour and a few weeks later it was the End of an era-Tour.
Tarja was sick during this concert and still rocked it!
Tuomas, Tarja, Marko,Jukka, Emppu. Kiitos :)
I like Marco in The Devil and the deep dark ocean live at Buenos Aires ,Floor and Marco duelling
See Nightwish reaction, I click!
Mmm, in the beginning yes. But lately I always check with which frontlady they play. Because there's quite a difference, in my opinion.
You mentioned Jukka (the drummer) with his head down there at the start... someone mentioned in the comments for another song from this show, that he was suffering a migrane or tension headache of some sort. In that song (their cover of Pink Floyd's High Hopes, Marko vocals) you see Jukka with his head down a couple of times, and at one point Tuomas gives Emppu a look and a little jerk of his head as if to say, "Go see if he's okay." Emppu does the solo, then the next you see him, he's jumping back off the drum riser.
As far as Tarja's breathing, it might have been more pronounced than usual due to her illness, but she breathed like that all the time. You can see and hear her doing it in ruclips.net/video/CwED4C5FJuo/видео.html the official video for Over the Hills and Far Away. Studio version, so it's not as pronounced, but you can still hear it, and see it in the beginning as well.
I love watching your reactions! Informative and joyful! I also got the goosebumps when Marco was singing for the first time in this song! Keep doing what you do :)
Yeah, I got goosebumps when I heard that ending too. Amazing chemistry between Marko and Tarja too!
Everyone has already mentioned that Tarja here is their first vocalist. But what is missing here is that this show was called "End of an Era", because this was Tarja's last show with Nightwish. After this show (and if I remember correctly, their performance of Nemo was the last song - someone correct me of I'm wrong), she was dismissed from the band. Long story into that one. I'll let everyone else chime in on that, because it still causes arguments and controversy among some of the fans to this day.
Additionally, this wasn't a one-off number. They actually covered the song on their album "Century Child" that came out in 2002. This show was in 2004.
the last song, actually, was "i wish i had an angel", which, some suspect, was Tuomas's message to Marcelo, regarding his designs on Tarja ( Angel being her nickname in NW)
You should hear Tarja's performance of Poison. It's mind-blowing
Tarja first love her...she my favorite Nightwish singer
amen..
Awesome reaction!!! Keep them coming!!!
I love "old" Nightwish's sound, their older albums just have some incredibly gorgeous songs. There's a lot from that middle zone with Anette, who many didn't like, that I really enjoyed. And Floor is just...my idol. Someday. I will not live in a tiny apartment and can dedicate myself to singing without neighbors.
Tarja was the one that got me to start to listen to this kind of music. This was in the end of the 90th. Now I am well immersed into Metal and LOOOOOVE FLOOR !!
Best reaction for that video. Greetings from Brazil!
Huzzah! Glad you reacted to this!
loved the reaction, tnx. amazing performance by both singers, marko just rips it. btw tarja was the first singer, who made me fall in love with the band, way back in 1998 with the oceanborn album.
Now I am extremely excited! Welcome to the wonderful world of Tarja! Please watch her solo performances from her solo career. Start with “supremacy”.
amen..
Yes yes yes
+1 for this reaction. This is a gem for history.
Melhor interpretação da Canção Fantasma da Ópera!
Orgasmo Alucinante a voz de Tarja Turunen!!❤💘
she had the flu so not singing up to snuff altho her singing is really something here to me. Marco is amazing in this. Really amazing.
Great review. Her voice blew me away the first time too. But his is also earthy and fitting for the Phantom
Finally, you reacted to the original frontwoman of Nightwish! She had a bad flu/throat infection during the preparation of the concert and she even was not able to do the morning rehersal for the concert. It may explain her unstable breathing through out the concert.
so she had a bad flu/throat infection with all her live performances ? because upon examination she sounds pretty much the same on each one .
@@nicod1361 unfortunately I am not a vocal coach or anything like that so I won't be able to comment on her other performances (breathing wise). The condition she had before this concert was reported in the news and her interview. I never say Tarja is a perfect singer and even she, herself, says that she continues to improve her skill by practicing daily and having vocal coach to listen to her singing. My personal preference of her voice also include her imperfection.
@@mishaaleksander2782 this is best thing I have seen/heard her do : ruclips.net/video/Up_JF2uVWoo/видео.html
@@nicod1361 if you said so. I am not into full classical performance, although I appreciate the classical technic that she uses in symphonic metal performance. So I prefer her performance in non classical, such as this one : ruclips.net/video/8ibkn-4Xlhc/видео.html
Think of the audience they performed. Metal fans that loved it. Talk about crossing genres.
I was there, a concert never forgotten. The last one with Tarja. Truly the End of Era. Listen Siren and Ghost Love Score from the same concert.
Loved your reaction! 🤟
Tarja and floor get the praise they deserve, but man do i get goosebumps when marko sings. his voice is so perfect for my ear.
She just nails that D6. Marko is amazing
I like in about 90% of reaction videos to this song, more people are blown away by Marco’s performance than Tarja’s - it’s like, we know Tarja is a great singer, but Marco is the biggest surprise in just how great a singer he is!!
please..its just that they did not expect him to do well
And this is why Tuomas wanted to die when Tarja left. However, that event gave birth to the master piece that is The Poet and the Pendulum and then to the wonderful version of the current Nightwish with QUEEN FLOOR JANSEN
That entire breakup was such a shit show. I still don't know what the actual facts are.
Tarja was fired by Tuomas. There’s footage of here on RUclips
He wanted to die because he felt like he'd failed everyone (and because of the massive media circus), not because "Tarja left".

Tarja announced in early 2003 that she was going solo ( not to join another band for a better paycheck, and she had many documented offers) because she was no longer able to tolerate long tours, had serious creative differences with Tuomas's direction, sought more time for herself and to concentrate on a solo career on her terms ...Tuomas convinced her to stay a while longer, even to possibly record a 6th album... her terms were ... very short tours ( citing danger to vocal and overall health..a long-standing problem for many years), with more time for herself, better travel and hotel accommodations and decision to move to Argentina with her husband...she would be informed of tour schedules and fly in to discharge her duties....it worked for a while but then the band bulked at short tours, and her unwillingness to travel by 24-hour party bus (she suffered from constant allergies, flu and had sleeping trouble)...finally, after she busted her hump that last night working under ill health and against doctor's advice, they posted the infamous letter claiming that she has changed into a money hungry diva and that they can no longer work with her and her culturally divergent manager who corrupted her ...a very short while after Tuomas began to be overwhelmed with sentiments of anger, disapproval and outright disgust from fans, critics and industry...even, many of his friends turned on him...this, allegedly led to a deep depression and even his decision to scrap the band..though he was talked out of it...these feelings, he sustained are encompassed in the poet and pendulum
Darnaguen that too
Great reaction KL, kiitos.
You should check out Tarja Turunen - SUPREMECY(Muse cover)
Yes! The Hellfest performance 👌
or Woodstock
Just commented the same. Chills everytime
Marco looks and sounds deranged in this performance, which fair enough, the phantom wasn’t exactly a stable character. But then he goes and composes and sings songs like While Your Lips are Still Red or The Islander (live at Tampere if you want to give it a listen) and it is such mood whiplash.
Funny that you commented about her microphone matching her dress, she actually switched outfits a few times in this concert and she did indeed have a red microphone for her red red dress and a white one for the white.
Tarja had a cold during this, her last, preformance with Nightwish. So glad to hear that you liked this video 😀
and a serious throat infection...night of liberation for the one and only...
Tks Ken! U great!
