TRANSLATE THIS VIDEO into YOUR language via this link: ruclips.net/user/timedtext_video?v=ZGzBQgel-gA&ref=share The Voice Love Co. community thanks you and so do I. 😘 THANK YOU!
You said Tarja the way most non Finnish are meant to say it though the R is in fact meant to be rolled :P This video actually opens with Tarja saying her name and well... good luck saying that lol ruclips.net/video/2_KeinNpZ-U/видео.html
crazy thing is, she did this while having to take breaks between songs to vomit and rehydrate as she was battling the flu.
Iam glad you saw this version because it show's you..marco ...tarja together and how amazing they sound together + a different version of this classic...💖💕🏳️🌈
@@coachmikesfilmroom3111 and after giving it her all lest she disappoint her fans, Tuomas fired her, calling her a diva...classy
Dear Mrs. Bovee, what happened to the portuguese subtitles that I had great pleasure to add to your document?
THIS version is THE version that others should follow...
BTW...Marco truely is a vocal beast
And he has such a gorgeous beard!
Tarja, my first love ♥️
Tarja and Marco are pure fire!
Thanks for this one.
For more Marco - "High Hopes", Nightwish Pink Floyd tribute. Same concert, but just Marco singing.
I grew up with Pink Floyd in the 70's and early 80's and normally don't like covers, but in this case I actually prefer the Nightwish version!
As a longtime Floyd fan, I'm right there with you. The original will always be stirring, bittersweet, and beautiful, but what sets the Nightwish cover apart is how much those guys clearly *love* that song. It wasn't like a cover they did to get on a soundtrack or compilation, they played it because they wanted to, and it really shines through in the performance!
I couldn't agree more! Marco is fantastic in High Hopes, and Tuomas, Emppu, and Jukka absolutely kill the instrumental side of things.
Georg A. Krohg great comment I thought I was the only Pink Floyd fan that actually prefers Nightwish cover of High Hopes and yes I too this was my band growing up 60, 70, 80s🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes, this is a Amazing Song 🤘🤘❤❤
Dark Sarah - The Gods Speak is also a fantastic piece with four great singers, Marco among them
This performance is so mind-blowing and FUN. Tarja and Marco sound amazing together and had phenomenal chemistry as duet partners.
Congrats on launching your Patreon!
It's funny to me how good their chemistry was onstage, given that Marco was one of the most adamant about wanting her gone.
@@danwhitehousepc I just feel the same, they interact so well onstage that we can't even imagine how their personal life was bad between them
@@Antonio.Medeiros She always liked him and used to talk about how they were friends and had a good relationship. I think that changed for him, but not for her. Untill the letter, of course. Anyways, he regrets the way it all hapenned and they are in good terms now.
@@membribesrr glad to hear that :)
You said her name right. I can't get over this performance. Marko was singing just as high as Tarja! He's such an amazing singer. Please react to his rendition of "High Hopes".
Well Finnish R has more trill than that, but she didin't go with the English nor Spanish R. And she didn't go with English J either. I'm pretty happy with that, rarely you hear an English speaker who does it better.
Despite having had botched vocal chord surgery in the 90's, Marko has a fantastic vocal range and an absolutely beautiful voice, which can be heard live in the Nightwish songs, "The Islander" from Tampere, and "(Kiss)While Your Lips Are Still Red", from Wembley. Marko indeed is a chameleon, whoever you put him with he blends together with them.
He is fantastic on his new solo album.
It's called Pyre Of The Black Heart. If you want a taste, Christi, I recommend you react to The Voice Of My Father from the album.
Then there is his singing in a kids metal band
Heavysaurus as the dinosaur Herra Hevisaurus.
The only time you get to see him in the flesh is Hevisaurus - 100.
@@douglascampbell9809 He must have felt at home when they did the photoshoot at the Natural History Museum for the new Nightwish Album.
there's also Planet Hell with Marco and Tarja singing together
Tarja almost outdid herself here. She has an incredible voice. She is beyond everything. ❤️🙏❤️
Your pronunciation is actually closer than most other reaction channels!
True. Finnish pronunciations is so different than in english! Most get it so wrong :)
haukikannel my first language is English but I’ve lived in Finland my whole life and I still struggle with the language and pronunciation haha
@@rafael3817 I am a Swede who knows how to pronounce kippis and perkele, the only Finnish words you need to know.
As a Finn, I only suggested more trill to her R. She says the name well.
@@Aurinkohirvi that is what she should do, but usually that only sounds worse. It was very good already, no need to trill R's =)
Showing Tarja some love ❤🐱👤🌹 Marko with his own band "TAROT"with the song "Wings Of Darkness"or with his Solo Album with the song "Stones" 👀👀👀
Oh my goodness I'm fangirling so hard. I adore her excitment watching this performance for the first time. 😍 It totally reminds me of when I first did back in 2006, I remember feeling just the same! I mean, that entire concert is epic, but this was the one song that blew me away. And here I am, still a huge Nightwish fan fourteen years later. ❣
more so than kuolema tekee taiteilijan?
Many ppl who reacts to this who actually give Marco the credit he deserves coz he usually gets forgotten by Tarja, great reaction. Would also love to hear your reaction to Tarja singing Sleeping Sun and Nemo, thank you
Apparently Marko does a lot of the song arrangements of Nightwish.
Check Tarja - Supremacy ( Muse Cover ) Woodstock 2016. Epic perfomance. She is true diva.
That performance is epic
Should be Hellfest 2016 though, the big note is way more impressive there.
@@FemaleMetalLover maybe a bit, but I like Woodstock video better. Both are great.
The milan version is the best !
This! so hard! this!
not a cover, tarjia was the lead for years, flooor is cover
It was a cover.
Do Marco in pink floyds High Hopes (only Marco)
yeha!
Great reaction! It's really interesting to consider how different Tarja approaches this song than Floor does. Tarja does basically the whole song in her operatic head voice, digging in everywhere with minimal dynamics, and keeps an even volume while climbing notes in the climax. Floor instead does most of the song in a quasi-operatic mixed voice that has more chest resonance in it, she occasionally flicks into other styles for decoration, she uses dynamics throughout the song, and climbs in both volume and note in the climax (sacrificing some resonance for that power, especially in the last 2 notes). Both approaches are fantastic and reflect the particular strenghts and tastes of the two singers.
all performances and vocal techniques are and were determined by Tuomas..look at her previous performances and you will be amazed in Tarja's, on the fly, vocal style changes and registers
@@xeleelex146 She sings a lot of this in classical style. In the end she goes full operatic. You're right, switching between classical and contemporary vocals defines this period of her: that's the style she sang since Century Child album, and does in this song too. Her classical approach is however less operatic than in early Nightwish.
Now that is the best comment about Tarja versus Floor I’ve heard! No competition or whining that one is better than the other, but just objectively observe and appreciate the fact that both are great singers with different styles. Excellent.
@@treintje1001 absolutely!
TARJA!!!!!!!!
Tarja was and still is amazingly awesome 😎👍 Respect also to Marco
Maybe unfair of me, but I'm actually more impressed with Marco's work here. This is definitely in Tarja's wheelhouse; I expected what we got from her. Marco rose to the occasion. They were great together.
Loved watching your face light up :) . Please react to "Walking in the Air" from the "Wishes to Eternity" concert in Tampere. Tarja simply made that song her own.
For more of Tarja, please react to her solo performance of "supremacy".
Lovely reaction. Best analysis of Tarja's voice lower-laryngeal, head-voice. Fangirling over Marco :-) His supportive blending/harmonising can be almost unnoticeable. Listen to Shudder Before the Beautiful (Wembley) where he does that to perfection and his own work towards the end is great too.
she had the flu when this consert was and still singing like an angel she is much better than floor
Haha..awesome! You have to hear Tarja do the Muse cover Supremacy at Woodstock 2016 its off the charts. Other worldly.
Beautiful reaction like always, please check High Hopes from the same concert (Pink Floyd cover with Marco as lead singer)
Yes indeed Christi. Marco is awesome on High Hopes.
Great reaction to a great song and a great performance! Did I say great enough?!
How about Nightwish - Gethsemane (Helsinki 1999)? I think it was their first performance ever on national TV and they all look so young and cute, and completely slayed it!
Please react to Tarja Turunen Supremacy and Victim of Ritual live at Woodstock 2016
Oh you mean Victim of RRRRRitual.
Hey Christi:
I think, Nightwishes most successful song with Tarja is "Nemo". (One of my favourite songs of all time (best Vampire-Song EVER.))
Closely followed by "I wish I had an angel" (Heavy Metal Duet with Marco) and the Ballard "Sleeping Sun" (also Vampire-Style).
The quality of ALL of Nightwishes songs is unbelievable - I just have to mention "Over the Hills and far away" and "Ever Dream":
Amazing "Ever Dream" video telling the story of Avatar: ruclips.net/video/uuf3cVS_y9c/видео.html
I'd throw in Slaying the Dreamer with those
@@coachmikesfilmroom3111 Yes. We COULD throw a whole LOT :).
Agree 110% with your opinion frankohero.
Dont think so, maybe its wishmaster
Tarja as amazing her voice it’s magic, every song she sang it’s complete magnificent and Marco his amazing voice too
this is why i say listen to tarja
Hi Christi! Please react the brand new Nightwish video "Noise"! It was great reaction and your pronounciation with Tarja's name is absolutely correct.
Best reaction ever! You should react to Nightwish- Slaying the dreamer with Tarja! It’s amazing!!!
Tarja belting in that song for the "Tell me why?" part is my favorite thing ever
Yes please!
Excuse me but for vocals Slaying the Dreamer is a very poor song. It has kick-ass attitude and good instrumentals, but for vocal skills has very little to show. Most of its vocals are almost shouted rather than sung, the staccato part is just about only highlight.
I have to agree that slaying the dreamer would also be another good one to react to. It's quite epic
Yeeeees please react to it 😍 There you hear Tarja belting and she really slays it!! ❤😱
oh..its such a grand treat you have provided us diehard Tarja fan nation...23 years of being astounded by this superbly gifted vocalist and energetic yet humble stage performer and yet the well of her plethora of exqusiteness never runs dry...if you think this performance, done under less than ideal physical condition (running a high fever that night) is superb, you must see her earlier performances with a much lower , resonating, deep sultry vocals on her signature ballads : swanheart, dead boys poem and walking in the air from the iconic "from wishes to eternity " concert from Finland in 2000...there is not enough tears in the world to last you through those performances
Seconded. This is a good performance of Phantom of the Opera, but to me the 2000 concert is better too. Because I like the more operatic vocals she sang the early half of her Nightwhish career. And then I like her most recent performances, because she is now better singer than she was in Nightwish. Maybe I'm not a fan to her style in all her solo career metal songs, but I listen all genres she sings, and she has improved her vocals.
@@Aurinkohirvi yah, those early performances showed just how mature her vocals were...no wonder Tuomas was amazed by her to the point of altering the entire musical paradigm to match her timbre....it is sad that Floor altered her previous classical/metallic blend to accommodate Tuomas new vision
This is the best analysis of this performance I have seen yet! And I've been seeing reactions of this since it came out. You're insight is fantastic. It gave words to how I've been feeling about this performance for years, but didn't know how to articulate my thoughts. Thank you so much.
Wow! WTG! What a fantastic rendition. I actually PREFER Marco's growling, grungy, mean-sounding, scary 'Phantom-voice', which to portrays more of the rough, brutal, even crass character of the Phantom. Marco's mastery of his voice is fantastic! And I love Tarja's tone and performance as well. It felt to me like she was able to keep her pharynx open and wide and 'amplify' the sound there with added harmonics, if that makes sense to you. She has absolutely BEAUTIFUL tone! The whole thing was fabtastic! :) Your reaction made me smile: Your delight, your mirroring of the energy in the crowd and the lively 'infusion' of life-force and joy at the talent and skill displayed. Yay!
Love it, AnnieNYC. YES!
Great performance and interpretation of this much loved song. I love your reaction and analysis.
Greetings from Brazil! Great video and reaction! My suggestion is for Valentine's day. Try While Your Lips Are Still Red (live Wembley). Cheers!
love love this reaction, i agree their voices combined is amazing. great to see u reacting to tarja, she was the reason i got into this band way back in 1998...
at this stage in her development as a vocalist, she generally used a higher register, but being the pro that she is, she used a mixed vocal delivery for this song...her very early voice was much lower and deeper (although just as impressive ) in the astounding "wishes to eternity" concert from the 2000 wishmaster tour...today she employs a variety of vocal models, constantly innovating her vocal paradigm...couldn't get through her signature ballad without running out of tears...and i mean that literally....love you Tarja !!!
Tarja sang very high in FWTE, and in her solo stuff she sing very low and dark and so high and clean; it's a very rare and biggest voice I'm very surprised of her solo albums, specially the last two
@@joshcavaradossi4813 amen, but she always surprises me with a ever growing mixture in her voice.. on many occasions, if you observe her live performances , she gets a very bewildered look as though saying to herself: WOW , i just discovered a new sound ...must keep that in mind and replicate it in my home practice...many NW fans simply fail to appreciate the deep well of talent in her that is yet to be discovered..Floor is good but Tarja is exquisite
Nightwish just released a new music video yesterday called " Noise" from the upcoming album.
Its very dramatic.
Btw, this version of Phantom of the Opera is the best ever. Nobody can beat this
Total carbage without Tarja. This is said by a Finn who is been listening this band since the first song ever released.
@@Lerssinen sad u u don't enjoy the music cause I do. They are amazing and produced so many quality songs
@@despairingleonardo Read again what i wrote. I said i have been listening SINCE. I still do but the band has gone more on the way being a generic pop band and thats not the way i like it. Then there is someone else who likes this new stuff more, i give it to them gladly.
@@Lerssinen Nope.
@@Lerssinen Floor is miles ahead in technique and stage presence.
Your ”Tarja” was quite good. Only the j was Little of ;) needs to be a Little bit harder not so soft as you use it.
And I agree... their singing Sounds good together!
Interesting to see what direction They do go with Floor and Henk version in Nightwish consert. But in anyway this is still one of the best version of this song ever!
Great reaction as always! You need to watch The Islander at Tampere (Marco solo, he wrote the song) and Wish I had an Angel both the Tarja/Marco version (from this same concert) and the Floor/Marco version (from Wacken 2013).
"Noise" is out. Looking forward to your reaction on that one.
Marco is such a versatile singer and must have been such a bonus when they signed him up as the replacement bassist as he has made the transition of lead singers a much easier process for the band for sure. Three totally different sounding voices and singing styles and he can morph his voice to suit as both a lead and backing singer.
Another great song to react to is Nemo with Tarja or Sleeping Sun. Both are extremely beautiful!
Which version of Sleeping Sun you like better?
Kind of a funny story that I for a really long time thought this was how the original sounded like. Now when I'm older I do know better, but that don't mean I like the original setting better. To be fair I mostly blame the phantoms. Even if I've heard some great interpretations of the phantom, I still think many actors(or well producers) make the phantom a bit too tame.
En esa época, Nightwish eran insuperables. Enhorabuena por el video y tu reacción. Love it:)
I love how enthusiastic you are about Marcos voice. He has been a favourite of mine for many years. It's nice to see him having the recognition he deserves.
I was like Oh! You never heard Tarja before? You will probably like this. End of an Era is still their best performance in my opinion. They got a bigger production value now but the performances then were amazing.
Bigger show, but imho Tarja's best vocals is in other concerts. Although Phantom of the Opera is good in this one, with the theatricals, and Marko makes a real effort.
And remember, Marco plays bass guitar while singing. Or vice versa...
Looking forward to more Marko reactions. Because he is great. With Nightwish, with Tarot and with his new solo album Pyre of the Black Heart. Thank you!
Thank you for the objective and detailed analysis. I also recommend Slaying the dreamer, Planet hell, The siren, Wishmaster from this concert and Pharion sails to orion, Walking in the air, Dead boys poem, Fantasmic from the concert From Wishes to enternity. This is an amazing performance😘👍🔥
This!
You should react to her singing Ava Maria on her album Ava Maria or some of her Christmas concerts. You should react to The Islander. Pink Floyd cover is good . You would like Romanticide and Yours is an empty hope where Floor growls. While your lips are still red. I know this long I think you will like to react to Tarja and Floor sing Sleeping Sun. I like your appreciation of Tarja she is very beautiful.
Thats why you cant truly love Nightwish unless you go back to its roots ..Tarjas unique voice made Nightwish iconic in the genre ..and theyve been fine tuning it to perfection ever since !!!!
letting Floor go back to her gorgeous classical/metallic voice used in her former bands would be the epitome of perfection
She isn't a good classical singer...I don't know if that would be a hit
hola...lovely lady..can't express to you how glad i am to see you paying homage to the great Tarja..she gets comparatively little attention from reactors...many new NW fans have such little understanding and appreciation of the tremendous contribution she had made to the initial success of this band, and the fame she provided to them for 9 years, as well as the massive legion of obsessive fans she garnered, who to this day firmly, incorrigibly and passionately hold her as utterly irreplaceable and not subject to duplication by anyone...
For me you are the first Tarja enthousiast with a well argumented as well as passionate expressed point of view I read for a very long time. Not that I am contentwise fully backing you, I am one of out of the legions of people that did not like her singing at all at the time. And as a consequence did not came around to appreciate pearls as this one. Because of me loving the live performances of the band during the last couple of years I listenend again to the first few albums with Tarja and found to my surprise that there are far more recordings with Tarja that I like. I even collected a few albums during her time with Nightwish. Live I find her on many occasions fawlty however, I can not get over that. But that being said I would never express myself towards the "obsessive" fans as they are being wrong. You sir, come across as one of thoseTarja enthousisast who has a passionate liking for her without feeling obligated publically dissing the current singer. For that, I applaud you for your reaction. I am probably not as nuanced and graceful in my reaction as I would/could be if I wrote this to you in my native tongue (Dutch). I hope nevertheless that you find this reaction as being respectful towards you.
@@jeronymusv4558 much obliged for your kind and respectful response...i take it that by "faulty" you are referring to the thinning in her voice when having to pull out a high, extended vibrato on some faster songs...that claim does have merit, but it was difficult, at that time in her vocal development to pull it off flawlessly in a high register soprano timbre...she has become far more adept at this in the intervening years...to be sure, the studio recordings are rather tame compared to her rich, deep, resonant, flowing and so soul- caressing delivery in the live performances...to see her at her most mesmerizing take a look at the ballads she delivered in the 'from wishes to eternity concert" such as swanheart , dead boys poem and walking in the air....or her exquisite floating of kuolema tekee taiteilijan...leaving fans of all ages, genders and backgrounds in a flood of tears...it is utterly amazing ..
i am generally, much more in favor of the heavier sounding delivery and adore bands like Symphony X, Rhapsody of Fire, Galneryus and Dragonforce but Tarja's voice and angelic delivery, to me are heavenly.....moreover, i have closely followed Floor from her very early days as the lead in After Forever to REvamp being very much impressed with her classical/vocal approach and incomparable stage presence utterly befitting her chosen genre...upon joining NW however she came to adopt a more contemporary singing style and i am somewhat disappointed, but thats my problem and i'll deal with it...at any rate, feel free to communicate with me in Dutch, if you so desire...absolute best wishes to you, greeting from US
Nobody can replace tarja she is nightwish
She always will be the voice of NW
Tarja and Marco had the single best harmony of all time!
I'm pretty sure I've heard most covers of this song and this one is my favorite by far. I've heard and seen the Floor and Henk one and that is really great, but It's not even close for me. This is absolutely the one.
Great reaction. I love your enthusiasm. You mentioned how energetic this performance was and how you felt electrified. If you wanna hear more from this same concert, I suggest Slaying the Dreamer. Tarja sounds like she is powering the whole venue with her voice in the climax of that song.
She is basically shouting the lyrics of that song. Is that beautiful? To me just about the only highlight in that song is the staccato. Not much to vocals in that song.
@@Aurinkohirvi not every song has to be beautiful. That performance is all about energy and power.
Great reaction!! 🤘
That was a sick reaction!! Marco totally does it for me in this one too.
I'm glad that you saw this video. The very OG Nightwish. back in the day, all the metal fan girls idolatrized Tarja like crazy (you can see it in that video how they are crying to see her sing), that happened everywhere, and all the boys we had that mad crush on her xD. Obviously. She's still very beautiful nowadays but back then in the late 90's she was like the bomb, the frontwoman of all the front women.
The blending voices in that era were something unique, too bad what happened between Tarja and the rest of the members, but that's life.
An idol to a generation of Goth girls in Finland.
Maybe Goth girls still regard her as an idol. But the first generation was definately more numerous.
Aurinkohirvi indeed, it was a damn army of Tarja lovers back then. They are still there... married and stuff lol.
This is the ultimate performance of this song...
Here is Tarja pronouncing her name in the first few seconds link: ruclips.net/video/2_KeinNpZ-U/видео.html&t=, you kind of have to roll your TaRRRRja loll
Same hint I gave.
Another beautiful reaction, loved it. I believe it was right after this performance that the band fired Tarja (good pronunciation, btw). It always makes me wonder what was going through Marko's mind when they had that interaction. Must have been a mind boggling concert for the band to perform.
I'd love to see your reaction to more Marko, The Islander and While Your Lips Are Still Red are some of my favourites, he has so many colours in his voice.
And there is a new single out, Noise! No seriously, that's the title. I still have to listen to it about 25 times before I've heard every layer on that one. And then there's the visual insanity of the video, that I'm sure you'll appreciate. I've read some comments about the details that are in it, they'll blow your mind. I don't want to give too much away, just watch it!
Marko supported firing Tarja though. Tarja and Anette both got exhausted in Nightwish world tours with 5 to 6 gigs in a week, they both spoke about it, and Tarja was suggesting cutting off smaller gigs and cutting off whole continents from the tours. This is what Marko wrote in his book: "Everyone were pissed limitlessly. The cancellation of American tour meant big hole in the touring earnings, and this happened right when the best album of the band was rising there. This meant losing the biggest market in the world." That was probably "Once" album, which means they did go to North America, though. In the open letter they blame Tarja's attitude when she said in the future tour she would sing max two weeks at a time, and they blame her diva because she moved from the band bus to hotel accommodation - which Tarja told she had to do, because she didn't get enough rest in the band bus and both her voice and health were suffering.
I think the band saw Tarja stepping on the brake pedal while they were stepping on gas pedal, saw problems for the next world tour, and pre-emptively acted - in a very, very bad fashion. And the bad fashion in the break up might be because of Tarja - Tuomas - Marcelo triangle drama, of which no-one else spoke openly but Marcelo.

@@Aurinkohirvi I know, I think these kind of situations were a hard lesson for them to learn. I think these situations were very complex and we don't need to know about all the details between these people. It's their private life, let them have it and focus on the music.
You should hear Tarja's voice on her video of Sleeping Sun. I like Floor, but Tarja owns that song.
Which version of Tarja's sleeping Sun you like better?
@@Aurinkohirvi Her video, out in the wild, with the bathtub, and her in the red dress
@@kevinstewart449 Okay, the original version. I like that better too. And the music video is a classic. In 2005 they made a rearranged version for contemporary singing, the one she sings in End of an Era concert, and in the music video them as knights and a valkyr in a battle field.
@@Aurinkohirvi I'm new to Floor/Nightwish . Was watching a reaction to GLS by Linor Oren where she said Floor's version was personal and couldn't be replicated, and Tarja's Sleeping Sun video came to mind, for that same reason.
I just love the sinister, eerie feeling you get in the end, as you can sense something bad is just about to happend
they kept her in the dark , trying to squeeze her for every last penny, even though she was weak from the feverish effects of the flu, doing her darnest to bring the fans her usual superb delivery, just look at her tired face while she does this heartwrenching rendition ruclips.net/video/VSMCD39EIMc/видео.html
Thank you for finally reacting to this.
Completely my pleasure! It was wonderful! Thank you for suggesting it!
SUPER reaction! FANTASTIC! You voiced all my impressions of the song!
You said Tarja's name absolutely right. You might want to check out her own solo music, especially an album released last year. She is still going strong on her own, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it! This is one of the best Phantom of the Opera renditions in my mind, definitely on par with the rendition by Floor Jansen and Henk Poort (although that one was more intimate, and playfully sinister). Definitely agree wholeheartedly with your reaction!
Great, great analysis again! I'm huge fan of Floor, but this performance is to blame why I'm hanging here. The chemistry, talent an crowd control combined. And they sacked Tarja after that! Life is life. For me as a finn it's very precious, that two of the best Phantom performances in 2000s have so tightly related to our country. And if I remember correct there was interlude in this particular video. Is it cut?
No cuts on my end, but perhaps I used a version that has one? Check the original video link in the description box and let me know.
@@TheVoiceLoveCo I must have dementia. The lenght of the original is 5:16, so there might be a little interlude. But no worries, the execution there is great and your analysis is spot on!
Great reaction, please react to The Siren from this same concert
And that was Tarja's last performance with Nightwish! And then they booted her out of the band!
yah, but Tuomas paid very dearly for it
You analyze perfectly, and you said everything correctly! Tarja is symphonic metal, and flor is just metal
As good as Floor is, there was NO COMPARISON TO TARJA!!!! WOW!!!😮
Nightwish was created with Tarja's voice in mind, that`s why her interpretations sound better than the ones with Floor or Anette. Floor is an amazing singer, but there is only a few songs where she sounds better. You should listen "Sleeping Sun" (official video), and "Sacrament of Wilderness" (official video), Tarja was 19 in these videos.
Thank you for your excellent reaction! 🙏 Can't stand most reaction videos where they butcher the music with constant interruptions. Thank you!
Marco is the Best part of this Duet. His Insane Phantom adds alot of uniqueness to the part. Tarja is Not my favorite. I think Sarah Brightman and Sierra Boggess have superior Voices for the Christine part.
Tarja is the ape Floor comes from. Tuomas (sapiens) made sure of that after Annette, their missing link. I love Tarja, I love Floor, I don't miss the missing link.
Could you please react to Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name [LIVE]?
You won't be disappointed. 👍
Hola. At last! You review a Nightwish video with Tarja (was about time) and I have to say I am pleased after watching your genuine reaction 🙂 I've been following your reactions a lot and I am simply happy to say that I have enjoyed watching you react to Tarja-Era Nightwish as candidly and genuinely as you have reacted to Dimash's videos. Loved it! Thank you = Muchas gracias and Keep up the fantastic work 😊
I'm kinda glad you had problem picking out whether he's singing in unison or an octave below because for years I've been thinking it's my ears failing me. :D
Let's just not forget that on top of that Marko's performance, he still plays the bass like it's nothing. Or is it the other way around? :D
Great reaction Christi :D
This is a very different version than the one we know from Floor and Henk, similar ofc, but very powerful and chaotic (the good kind that belongs to this song)
For me it depends on my mood, which version i want to hear.. but thats a "first world problem" lol so who am i to complain :P
I'd like to make a few suggestions that you might enjoy, very much less rock tho, but still vocal prowess and power you might love to see and hear.
You might know these two ladies already (i would not be surprised) But i suggest looking into Morgan James and Haley Reinhart and their works with Scott Bradley's Postmodern Jukebox.
I hope you'll get around to checking them out one of these days, until the next one :D
Classic. You might want to check out "Wish I Had an Angel" also from the End of an Era concert still one of my favorite Tarja & Marco performances.
You do realize Tarja is on gone. They're on their 3rd singer now..Tarja is the best

Please react to Nightwish - Gethsemane ( live '99) !!!!
really great loved ur reaction love u keep up great work u notised marko is best singer in band =) keep up good work
This is the best reaction / analysis I've ever seen about the song.
You're awesome, thank you so much.
this is my favourite song with Tarja, along with Passion and the Opera, if you can react to it, please do. Studio version.
Love from Mexico
And about saying "Tarja" you did good. Finnish R has still stronger trill, but who says foreign names perfectly? Almost nobody. Close is good, and you're very close.
Please React to tarja turunen swanheart live ❤️🇨🇱
Nobody sings the phantom like Marko !
Operation: Corrupt Christi - has completed successfully.
You've finally gotten to see the original muse of Nightwish. And she's a powerhouse as well.
She did set the bar really high on what we needed to hear. And even with Nightwish 3.0, we are extremely lucky that Floor has the power to be able to sing the old school songs.
But you've now been exposed to Floor, Tarja, and Simmone . 3 of the queens of symphonic metal. We did say that the dark side has cookies, we don't mess around on this :)
But then, it's not "power" that is needed to sing the old songs.
You can sing them contemporary style, Anette did that as well, and Floor does it in most cases.
If one wants to do them like Tarja did, then one needs a good classical technique. Another style, not power.
Annete unfortunately did NOT do the old school songs well. She was fine in the professional recordings with the music tailored to her, but the live clips you see floating online? Tarjas songs were too much for her. Yes, she had more of a pop style, and more belter technique. But most of the clips you see online, Nightwish's product, or live music was suffering. And there were old songs that couldn't be on the set list anymore because, the singer wasn't able to sing them.
Floor came into the fold and was like a lightning bolt. The old stuff is working its way back to life ( yes sometimes modified in a lower key to work with her voice better) I recall watching the 2013 Wacken concert the first time, and by about 2-3 songs in, I was floored. ( Pun possibly intended.)
Powerhouse, "Force of Nature" call it what you want. The ones that can deliver live just as well (if not better) as in the recording studio. They deserve to be acknowledged as such.
@@chrisvonsande7173 I have the links in the end of the comment. Have you ever heard Anette sing "Come Cover Me"? One of her best songs and old Tarja's song. How about "Planet Hell" or "Walking in the Air"? I bet with Ever Dream you heard the Wacken one, which was not her good performances, but she could sing the song great already before joining NW, as shown by her demo tape, and the Colmar concert video in YT from 2012.
Floor is no different than Anette with Tarja's old songs: both sing them contemporary style: Floor has sung only in Wembley Stargazers in classical fashion and ... yeah I don't want to say bad things. Oh and they both have sang "The Siren," I like Anette's version better.

(Edit: found a better quality version for Come Cover Me, which isn't a full concert video either)
@@chrisvonsande7173 And Dark Passion Play album's songs weren't "tailor made" for Anette. They didn't know who the singer would be when they composed those songs. But of the girls they made sing them, Anette did the best job which is why she was hired.
@@Aurinkohirvi too bad Tuomas has altered that delivery permanently...i would love to see Floor go back to it..she doesn't need to sound like Tarja but it will be more exciting to watch
I totaly agree with you. I as a core metal fan never thought that i could enjoy an operatic musical so much. But especially Marco makes the phantom so cool and different.
I have often noticed that duets with Marko just sound great.
I grew up with the Tarja era of Nightwish, but I have to say I personally prefer Floor's style.
Probably me too, but cant stop lovin Tarja.
I respect Tarja's voice, but Floor's touches me like no other.
I’ve really noticed how much Toumas writes songs for the singer listening to Floor do Once songs. Floor can do it but she shines when it’s written for her
Tarja does a most exquisite rendition of a ballad called Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan .. ruclips.net/video/jJVRhbairIY/видео.html
This always gives me major chills 😍💜
thanks so much for bringing the great soprano herself to the unwashed masses..she is and forever will remain the essence of what made NW great in their initial years propelling them to great stardom and keeping them on top for 9 years.....unlike water and oxygen, i absolutely needa little bit of Tarja in my daily life..please consider reacting to more of her incredible performances..she doesn't growl like Floor by her incredibly high notes are far more entertaining to me....
I recommend Tarja singing supremacy, to do next
This performance, this interpretation, this atmosphere Nightwish made us gift of, here, is utter magic. I want to be clear saying what I'm gonna say. I love Floor Jansen, I truly do... she's tremendously powerful, utterly versatile, all-rounded singer-performer-artist who perfectly merged into Nightwish like a perfectly matching natural element and I honestly believe it would be very very very hard and even difficult to see her and the rest of the band parting ways like happened with Tarja. Now... I know many of you experienced this kinda poliamorous sentiment with someone - yeah.... you're hearing me - and in this case with two of the best female singers who has ever put their own feet into this earth. We witnessed here, in this amazing and damn gripping _"Phantom of the Opera"_ a real moment of bliss, we witnessed the majestic magic Marco and Tarja created and shared with that fully absorbed and absorbing audience. We all witnessed such a multi connection between Marco and Tarja, between them and the rest of the band and, most importantly.... with every single person in that impressive crowd melting in love with what was going there. They were captured, shaken deep within, absorbed into an unique osmosis process only Music can create.
All this to come to the real point here: we all can understand now what an earthquake has occurred within this very specially gifted talented band of musicians, artists and human beings, when Tarja and the band went into parted ways. We can ultimately understand why there's been all that heat between Tarja and Marco. Something very special magic and unique was broken there at that point. At the end of the day I know.... too hard would be having two queens for a king... but if the arrival of Floor has been a blessing for Marco, the band and, let's not forget, us all... and we would never ever feel the same if she was gone... we cannot ignore the fact that Tarja parting from the band has been a tragedy, a tragedy for Marco again, for the entire band again... and once again for any single one of us in love with this gift of a project we all call Nightwish. Here why I have to say this.... a huge scary "what if". What if Tarja would join the band again, with Floor staying together? Would Marco be able to handle that and find the necessary inspiration to move forwards from that point and push the whole Nightwish musical project and experience to a brand new higher level? *I - think - so!*
We didn't see it all, with Nightwish... and this is my wide open eyed wish. I'm a Therion fan as well, I consider Chistofer Johnsson an absolute genius and the greatest classical composer alive today and I just can't wait for his next masterpiece coming hopefully very very very soon. Nonetheless I love Nighwish and I really wish they accomplish more.... taking Therion as an example is not too much, is not blasphemy at all. I love Music, alright? I really do... and that's why I say this, I do it in the name of this passion of mine and of ours, I say it for the future of Music's sake. *Let's make that happen!*. I dream about that since ages, I've been wishing that since I fell in love with these two so different and yet so similar projects. We should see this happening, as a gift to humanity, to mankind.
Now, whoever has been reading this and got to this point... feel free to take me for a visionary or a fool. I'm probably both and ain't always a great thing, in my opinion... would be more a curse than a gift... but you know, you know it.... you know all that makes sense, you know that should really happen. if you don't... then there's something terribly tragically frighteningly wrong with this world of ours!
Enough said.
Please... Be safe, Stay home, Live creatively. ~ Peace-out!
