Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer has said that this is his favourite cover of this song.
He also said that Henk Poort was his favorite Phantom.
Wow, that's high praise!
Tarja Turunen is a classically trained lyrical soprano and one of the founders of Nightwish. She is the very reason NW exists as we know it.
After Nightwish she has had an amazing solo career in both symphonic metal and classical music. I wish you`ll check some of her solo stuff in both classical and symphonic metal. She is amazing. Also End of all hope from the Summer Breeze Festival 2002 with NW and Slaying the dreamer from the same end of an era concert like this one.
And I have to mention Marko: I think his Phantom is the best I have ever heard. The way it should have been from the start.
all info about Turunen are wrong,,no lyrical...no founder...NW exists only by Tuomas Holopainen...etc....get your shit straight...the only truth is Marko
@@bumerang6959NW would not have become a metal band if it weren’t for Tarja, and she is stated to be a co-founder. So, you may want to get your facts straight next time before you try to school someone.
Tarja yes 💚💚 what a trailblazer for women in metal !!
Tarja is amazing and is still going strong in her solo career. I had the good fortune to see her in concert about 2 weeks ago.
Tarja, the symphonic metal goddess
This is my favorite version ever. No one does it like Marko. He wasn’t an original member, but he was close behind. He left two years ago and I miss him a lot.
Me too!! Maybe Tarja and Marko sing together again early ❤
@@melicriszoe1 They have a show together in Finland the end of July. I tried to get tickets and build a vacation around it, but I cannot for the life of me find tickets. 😢
Actually they have their own separate shows, Marko has told that in some interview. But of course it is possible that they could have a duet or two, who knows.
@@hietalamari1301yes, you are right. Also that same interview were Marko asked is he going to see Tarja and he said No.
@@hietalamari1301 Yes, I know. I watched an interview where he heavily implied/teased that they’d do a few songs together.
The best cover of 'the Phantom'...(my opinion)🇸🇪
And mine.
Yes!siiii
I concur
Not just your opinion... but fact
What a performance! 😊
Another great Nightwish song from Tarja's era is "Pharaoh sails to Orion" ☺️
Best. Version. By. Anyone. Ever.
Tarja is opera.. she is a lyric soprano...
Tarja Soile Susanna Turunen-Cabuli (born 17 August 1977), known professionally as Tarja Turunen or simply Tarja, is a Finnish heavy metal singer, best known as the former lead vocalist of Nightwish. She is a soprano with a three and a half octave range. Turunen studied singing at Sibelius Academy and Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe. She is a professional classical lied singer.
Yes. And she sings both "dark soprano" and the very clear, bright soprano, both absolutely beautiful. Her range is so wide, she`s actually a lyrical pinto soprano.
Welcome to the original singer and co-founder of the band Tarja Turunen!!! The band you know today would never have existed without her!!! Her rich dark classical vocals are the reason Tuomas helped create the genre of symphonic metal.
The pairing of her vocals and Marko's for me was pure magic!! Please react to their song "Slaying the Dreamer" from the End of an Era concert
Agree!!
Agree 100%.
Tuomas didn't create anything... bands were doing it before him
@@Brendo2386 NW was one of the bands that formed the genre. Perfected it and took it to a much wider audience.. Blessings and have a wonderful day
One thing I really appreciate about you guys, is that you clearly love and understand music.
You are appreciating the song rather than pausing every moment to give your take on it :)
🙏
Best version of this song EVER
The whole concert (dvd) is spectacular!
Do some more reactions on the songs from it, you won't regret it.
🙂 Tarja was not only the original singer, she co-founded Nightwish with Tuomas. We seen her in concert, last night, and she still sounds phenomenal.
I came to say pretty much the same
Marco Hietala💪💪😍!!
Tarja (pronounced Tarya) is the first singer.
I’m so happy you jumped into some Tarja era!!! Don’t get me wrong, l *adore* Floor with this band…but Tarja?!?! THAT voice is what got me hooked into Nightwish in the first place. The sound of that full-on classical voice just soaring over the growl and snarl of the metal blew my mind. I just couldn’t wrap my head around how damn well it worked!
For other examples of Tarja, do Sleeping Sun or Bless The Child from this same End of an Era show. Another great choice is Walking In The Air, also live but a few years earlier (2000 I believe). That one’s even pre-Marko!
well, this band is no joke. Whatever they play, outstanding musicianship, every part, every member. Tarje excels here as well as Marko, simply stunning.
Next Nightwish The Siren version with Tarja
Tarja's imitation of a train whistle in the end😊
I saw Tarja on tour last night, and she's still a great singer! She's fun, and puts on a good show. Her band is very good too. And she comes across as a very sweet and gentle soul. I'd see every show on the tour if I could.
The funny thing is, in the Phantom of the Opera musical where this song is from they don't actually sing the last note for real, but instead play back and lipsync.
Because it would be too stressful for singers to reach that high on every performance.
Well.
In metal the standards are different. It's a passion, not a day job, so people often push themselves beyond what could be reasonably asked from an employee. So Nightwish never does pre-recorded lead vocals.
Tarja Turunen (prononciation -Tarya) is original singer and one of founders of the band. First 5 albums (1997-2004) - with Tarja. She definitely as the vocalist created name for the band. Her gothic and operatic vibes became already history in Nightwish and the metal music. I very recomend to get acquainted with other her vocals in Nightwish - Walking in the Air, Wishmaster, The Siren, Planet Hell. Enjoy:)
Epic 🤘🖤🤘
I’ve seen phantom several times it’s my favorite musical. ❤
TARJA TURUNEN !THE QUEEN OF SYMPHONIC METAL VOCALS❤
Tarja is THE Nightwish. I never liked Anette after Tarja and Floor is a great singer, but the whole Nightwish essence was the great songs by Tuomas and sung by Tarja. Also, this Marko and Tarja combination is just out of this world! I never get emotional because of music, but Tarja does it for me. Goosebumps and tears every time! I would pay good amount of money to see Marko and Tarja together again. Just a sick combination!
They will perform together in a few days...
@@bensahar215 I understood that they will both do solo gigs in the same festival, not actually singing tohether. I could also be wrong.
@@Marli8888 , they will perform together in Switzerland
@@bensahar215 Nope. They will both have their own gigs. Marko has corrected this to the media.
@@Marli8888 ok, didn't know that...My bad! 🍻
I wish I could go back in time to see this performance for the first time again
This is the best version and performance of this classic tuned by NW for heavier style that exists. The fundamental line-up makes it possible. They also act the roles of Phantom and Christine so well.
From this same show, i love "i wish i had an angel"
The time when no one was filming this on their phones, just watching and enjoying this amazing performance 😄
I agree, this cover is the perfect fit for Nightwish! No one could have done an insaner version of the Phantom and no one a darker Christine.. Marko and Tarja are perfect for these roles because they can _deliver_ technically and vocally but also they give it the most special spin!! 🙏🏽❣And also Tuomas putting the Nightwish twist on the arrangement. Simply amazing. Glad you enjoyed it!!
She is the first. The OG. Marko came in 2000. Tarja founded the band with Tuomas and Emppu. They went to school together. She left in 2005. Replaced by Annette a few years. Then Floor in 2013. People compare but shouldn’t NW is diff but still as good.
idk for me nightwish will always be tarja and pre 2005 members. floor is great, but its diferent band now, no soul like it had in its prime, i grew up with tarja voice, unmatched still
Floor is a great singer, but the songs aren’t as good to me. I think Toumas has ran out of ideas. Hence, theee albums about nature and evolution.
🤩👍💥💯🎼
KIITOS! ( = THANK YOUU !) in the end...
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Tarja was first singer, Annette second (but she never did this song) Floor third. Nightwish performed this song last November in Amsterdam (and I was there), a must see!
This is not opera. Its music from a musical.
But yes it has more opera style singing in it then most musicals.
Tarja was great for the band. But all 3 singers has done there part in the band. and been good to.
We shall not compare them and say wich one was best. Its simple, Nightwish is best.
Love her voice !!! Another dimension, another level , you just go!
Tarja and Marko, the best duet ever for me! Maybe they will sing together in july ❤
not just this song but,the entire "end of an era " concert is a must.
Tarja!!!!! My Godess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love that people say second vocal…this is original, vocal, the best… kids, vom on😏
Awesome!!! Also love the Jack Sparrow cameo 🤣
Phantom of the Opera is not a classical opera, it is musical theatre. Even Gerard Butler did it - but not well.
Thank you..... grated me he kept saying it's an opera
Gerard Butler did a great job..
Nightwish is The 1. Both Tarja, the original singer and now Floor are amazing. The band is something really different in this music world. Love them. Brgds from Finland! ❤🇫🇮
love me some Nightwish- I was introduced to Nightwish through floor- but i really enjoy this song with tarja- as you mentioned they have a new version with floor from last year featuring henk poort- keep em coming!!
this is there 1st singer Tarja Turunen 1996 - 2005 this was her last show she fired right after this show . the came Annette 2007 - 2012, then Floor 2012 - current. Its been 17 years since this performance and in 2022 Nightwish did this one more time with Floor and guest Henk Poort (30 year Dutch Phantom) and it was amazing also - ruclips.net/video/TM23gaT4zkY/видео.html&pp=ygUzcGhhbnRvbSBvZiB0aGUgb3BlcmEgbmlnaHR3aXNoIGZsb29yd2l0aCBoZW5rIHBvb3J0
Love all of Nightwish versions of the Phantom. Marko more missed in it then Tarja
Hi, great reaction video I have total respect and appreciation for both Tarja (Tarya in English) and Floor, they are incredibly talented singers, even Anette Olzon has a good voice but couldn't do the classical thing, a good pop voice.
Great reaction to a Nightwish classic! Next, you should listen to Anette...a different face of Nightwish.
"This is probably a really hard song to do from a vocal standpoint for both of them" - how funny was that right before Tarja and Marco blow you away guys :D :D :D
Yes You could think that unknowing her vocal capabilities and musical training :D It was really funny to watch right after that comment.
I was like "Do he really said that :D" "Oh brother keep yourself to the chair, here they come" :D
Discovered Nightwish in the early 2000's with the album Once which I believe Tarja was the singer... Absolutely blew me away. Love this band with any singer. I would suggest checking out Floor Jansen and Henk Portman doing their version on a TV show. Nightwish also had Henk Portman join them on stage. Both excellent performances.🥂🇨🇦
Epic indeed. The best version of the phantom ever made. New version can't touch this, not even close. Tarja and Marko are just so perfect for this. Normally I like everything that Floor does, but this one together with "The Siren" are two of those I can't really enjoy as much. Probably many have already told this, but Tarja has a proper classical training. She says herself that she is not an opera singer, but I think she is pretty close, especially if you listen to her real opera stuff).
Wrong. Floor and Henk did it better.
@@Alithia451 It's pretty much impossible to compare those. Certain parts of Floor's singing is better, but overall I prefer Marko+Tarja. It's the overall feeling that it gives. I absolutely love Marko and there's some tension here that makes the performance so impactful.
Both great versions. I'd love to have seen Floor and Marco do it.
@@Alithia451Nope…
@@mattmid7012 Agreed. It is hard to compare when Marko is not in the mix.
Tarja is pronounced Tar..yar. The J sounds like a Y. She is my favourite lead singer from the band. Sadly, she was fired from the group after this concert.
It's an art, not a competition
Tarja4Evr 🙏🥂❤️
This was performed I believe on the same night that the band broke up with Tarja. During a Tarja costume change in the same concert Marko sang a cover of Pink Floyd’s High Hopes! I have always wondered if the sad tone was strengthened by what the band knew was coming later that night. You should react to that cover, one of the few covers they have released.
The entire End of an Era live concert is amazing. This was Nightwish at their prime.
Big 👍🏻
Do recent one from last fall with Floor and Henk. Official Nightwish video. It's fantastic too and floors vocals amazing.
Hi guys, greetings from UK
Another great reaction, thank you 😉
The captions were incorrect when they translated Marko's vocal line as "Scream my angel of music", the line he sang is actually "Sing my angel of music"
In this Nightwish version it is actually "scream"! And Tarja is screaming quite well when Marko (sinister phantom) is asking to do!
@@julle006 It is? Well now, I've learned something today! Thanks Julle 🙂
...keeping in mind that "Phantom of the Opera" isn't an opera - it's a musical about an opera singer.
No one does Phantom like Marko. He’s a vocal god.
Tarja, the first vocalist was amazing and very operatic in a classical vocal style. Floor's version was a little more like the original in a musical theater vocal style. Also quite AMAZING.
Those crazy Vikings...
When Nightwish had Tarja, they had a duality that they lost when she left. That duality being the combining of opera and metal. Floor can sing operatically but for some reason it's not written into the music any more in my opinion. I will forever be part of the Tarja army.
LOVE THIS BAND! You guys might want to check out Epica. I think you'll be impressed. Also Extreme has released a new album. The track called Rise has an insane guitar solo. Love what you're doing!
THANKS for some TARJAWISH !!!!!
Divine TARJA - Goddess the, even more so now !!!!!
☮☮💘💘☮☮💘💘
I know this is 2 weeks old, but you should check out this entire concert "End of an Era". Tarja was fired right after this concert with an open letter (P***ies). Also available in full on YT is the live concert "From Wishes to Eternity".
Just to add to some others talking about Tarja being classically trained. Many metal vocalists are actually classically trained, so whenever people say things like: 'oh metal is just screams/grunts/growls and they can't sing', it is just funny to me. Also check out Jarkko Ahola from Terasbetoni, he is also from Finland and classically trained, he covered Nessun dorma. Or the band Northern Kings, which Marko is also a member of, with 2 other great vocalists, who cover popular non metal songs and add a metal flair to it.
In spite of the title “phantom of the opera” is not an opera it is musical theatre.
Sadly Tarja and Marko are no longer in Nightwish. What an amazing vocal pairing they are. I hope they'll share the stage at some time in the future featuring some new projects from their solo careers. Their interplay is truly magical.
Tarja and Marco have shows coming up together in July in Europe.
@@rosswhite5975 Yep, hopefully they will sing something also together (I would be surprised if not) since the stages are the same but in different times, two different bands.
@@osk9013 yes it would seem a waste to not have him come out and do at least a couple of NW songs at the end with Tarja.
@@rosswhite5975 "People" are betting Planet Hell since Tarja has been singing it every now and then. Still at least another song... what could it be?
@@osk9013 I would guess phantom or wish I had an angel. She has performed both of them before with her band.
TARJA! MARKOOO 👍🤘🤘🤘😊💗
Tarja is Nightwish for me... no one else can match it
you not a nightwish fan , but a tarja fan , tuomas is nightwish
@@fredverkerk838 Nightwish wouldn't be a metal band if it weren't for Tarja and his voice, so Nightwish was also Tarja Turunem.
Floor and Henk's version is awesome, but Tarja and Marko's version is something unreachable. They are matching each other so beautifully...
Look "Walking in the Air" with Tarja live
its Tar-ya ...Tarja Turunen its a great song by Nightwish, Floors version is epic also at the Ziggodome in Amsterdam 2022
Both singers are phenomenal!!! But Phantom of the opera itself is not an opera. It’s a musical. So the song is nothing like classic opera. I looove this version so much 😍
Tarja turunen . Queen
many call 'The Phantom' an opera....actually it's an Andrew L. Webber stage musical.......doesn't matter, the story & music are beautiful.......Tarja's operatic training really shows
And who is that at the end shredding on his axe like mad?!
😁🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯🤘
🇫🇮❤ Just for comparison, you might also react to this same song with Floor Jansen on female vocals: Nightwish - The Phantom Of The Opera (ft. Henk Poort) (LIVE) ( ruclips.net/video/TM23gaT4zkY/видео.html )
🤢
Also you need ro hear Floor Jansen singing Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort at Beste Zangers, and also a live concert where Floor and Henk sing with Nightwish, actually Henk is the original singer
Tarja is one of the greatest singers there is no doubt, but she only sings opera style, after the diva attitude Tarja was expelled from Nightwish and they got Anette Olson who has a beautiful voice but is softer mor Abba style kind of singer more pop, but she had health problems and that is when they’ve got Floor who has the operatic style, angelic style, metal style, she can growl, so, Floor is more versatile, she can change styles, have a great stage presence a super powerful voice, si she can sings everything between Tarja and Anette.
Floor was the singer of the disbanded band named After Forever, and then she formed Revamp and after she became Anette’s replacement until Anette was sick, and Nightwish called Floor and and ask her if she wanted to be the lead singer, so Floor flew from Europe to the US and she had to learn the playlist in 48 hours, there is a documentary about it which is great and interesting, also before Floor they had the help from Alissa White-Gluz another great singer but she mostly Growl, and at one concert they ask the audience to choose if they wanted to postponed the concert or doing it with Alissa, but she will be reading the lyrics, and the audience love Nightwish that much that Alissa was the singer and the concert went great.
Floor has been the perfect match for Nightwish, but there is no doubt the best symphonic metal singers are Floor, Tarja and Simone Simons from Epica and there is other magnificent singers like Anneke Van Giersbergen and others
Every time I watch/listen this I have goosebumps til inside my ass, right now included 🥶😱😱
This is NOT opera. It is musical theatre
She's the original singer and most people's fave their definitive sound where the albums Oceanborn Wishmaster Century Child and Once with her doing full on opera for every song Marko joined from Century Child on
Anette the second singer is my second fave era along with Tarja cos the 2 albums they did with her are just about as good as the Tarja era albums even tho Floor has the most varied voice they dont use it enough ie she can growl and do opera they barely ever let her its mainly just her normal rock voice as well as theyre the lightest albums not as epic and classical either
How did you guys find each other on this Planet? Two dreamers who don't know what "Phantom of the opera" is?
This is Tarja, the first singer, her voice is higher by default. She and current NW singer Floor Jansen are friends (Tarja being fired notwithstanding). Both Tarja and Floor are classically trained.
F@ck,man! Chest and arms are exploding! 😎💪 (Not meant to ignore the female counterpart here of course!) And btw great reaction video,tarja will always be my fav singer no matter what she does or the genres!
😂
08:16 - epic?!?!? -> "epica - storm the sorrow"
To correct you a bit, this song has nothing to do with opera except the titel. It is based on a musical by Andrew Loyd Webber where this is a part of.
❤❤❤❤❤
If you want to watch Floor's version of this song, she made a duet with a singer that actually played the Phantom in europe ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html
This is the true Nightwish and her era were their best years (in part because Tuomas was in his creative prime).
Sadly Floor, a great singer, joined as the material started to really go downhill. Her two albums are their worst
you dont now wacken 2013 , best concert ever
One note about your commentary, to prevent your less informed followers from misunderstanding:
"Phantom of the Opera" is NOT an opera piece, it is a musical theatre piece from 1980's, music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The story takes place in the Opera House of Paris, France, hence the name.
did you notice Captain Jack Sparrow on the front of the keyboard?
Tarja Turunen the best!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
ruclips.net/video/Ap5gi-I6bfI/видео.html this is Tarja and Marko 18 years later performing the same song
The Phantom of the Opera is actually musical theater. Not opera at all lol
This was the last concert of the tour and Tarja is fired right after. Two years earlier there were rumors about artistic and private differences. Tarja established opera singing in metal with Nightwish and then remained successful as a solo artist:
Tarja Shadow Play live Circus Life version
Tarja's vocal problems can be heard at the beginning of the song. It's a musical and it starts with a pop voice. Tarja immediately goes to the opera section because she can't do it any other way. Floor's Nightwish version is closer to the original. Marko and his rocker voice sound completely different from the original. The phantom is an opera fan and logically sings opera. Marko is not an opera fan here, but an evil manipulator. This phantom makes this Nightwish version unique.
yeah well... Tarja ... last winters snow... new winds now...
Oh Shut up
