Asking Nightwish fans about the female singers = You will still be getting comments 53 years from now :) Song suggestion : Epica feat Floor Jansen - Sancta Terra Live
Oh dear, now you've put the cat among the pigeons! Fan opinion on the 3 singers that Nightwish has had is almost as likely to break into arguments as politics! The sequence was Tarja Turunen, then Anette Olzon, and now Floor Jansen. All 3 are sopranos, Tarja and Floor both have classical training. As you mentioned Tarja tended to stay in the classical style when she snag with Nightwish. Anette has a much britgher, brassy sound, to me, and listening to songs sung by Anette and either Tarja or Floor, you can tell the mixing/arranging/sound was changed to have the music better mesh with her vocals. With Floor, the band was able to go back to the 'original' style, as her voice has the power to compete with the heavier playing.
It is so great to have some one give props to Marco. He is an amazing musician. If you want to hear some other Marco songs here are some suggestions. Nightwish did a cover song of Pink Floyd's song "High Hopes". Marco sang that at the End of an Era concert. "The Islander" at Tampere, "Master Passion Greed" studio version, because it has never been done live that I know of. High Hopes is my favorite. Thanks!
What's most impressive about Nightwish reaction videos are mostly that people want to measure the female singers... Yet Marco's still probably more important then the female front for me. Tarja's awesome, Anette was ok in the songs tailored for her and Floors reaally great... but somehow Marco's like the keyplayer in so many great songs, at least for me.
I became a fan of Nightwish while Tarja was still still in the band, and to this day I very much prefer the way she sang the old songs. However I am glad that they have found Floor. I think she's an amazingly talented singer, and fit the ascetic of the band very well, even if I do prefer the old versions.
Ask or not, people go comparing them anyway and cheering their own favorite. But I'm happy that many people who thought Nightwish died after break up with Tarja, have returned and are enjoying the band with Floor now! Just about everyone thought: "good luck ever finding someone who can step in Tarja's shoes". Well, good luck happened! Or well, I suppose it was skill too, finding the right person.
He also now has a solo project with finnish lyrics Check out: Marco Hietala - Isäni ääni Isäni ääni translation is 'My Father's Voice it's a slow clean vocal song Also his vocals on 'While your lips are still red' Nightwish live at Wembley arena are worth checking out, as well as 'The Islander' live in Tampere
If you really want to hear Marco (base player) in his full glory React to or The Islander or While your lips are still red of Nightwish he sings those (the islander has some assistance tho)
Finally someone to trully appreciate Marco in this one. Everyone request this wanting to show Tarja's abilities but as a classical trained singer she is more used to this. So IMHO Marco is the real star here. Floor is their third singer came in the end of 2012(there is another one between Tarja and Floor called Anette Olzon - conventional poppy voice) and is amazingly diverse as she gives many opportunities to the band's songwriting (speaking of Floor if it's not clear heheh..) Sorry to hear your Nightwish video has been blocked. You can implement some interruptions in this recording for avoiding copyrights and upload it again. I am really curious which song is inside and what is your opinion. Looking forward to see it..
I completely agree but I just want to add that without Tarja Nightwish wouldn't be a metal band. Tuomas and Emppu where going to a completely different direction before they asked Tarja to be the singer.
@@annelipohjonen6792 Yeah maybe... still I think it's Tuomas merit for being so flexible and genial to combine the things. Tarja is their first singer proposed by their teacher Plamen Dimov. Who can say what would happened if there was another singer came in and what Tuomas would do depending on her voice..?! I can't and nobody can imho..
I'm crying laughing about you innocently asking the Tarja - Floor question. 😂 Personally I think both are fantastic singers and NW is very good at tailoring their songwriting to their current singer. So I think Tarja shines most in the stuff that was written for her but Floor is brilliantly versatile in being able to sing the songs for all three singers. I grew up with Tarja so I will always like her most but that really doesn't take anything away from Floor.
Marco actually has nerve damage in one of his vocal cords. In the 90's he went through a surgery to remove a polyp from that vocal cord, which caused the damage. He almost lost his voice and had to train really hard to get most of his vocal register back. Dispite of that his vocal cords will never "synch" again, and, for example, his clean falsetto is gone for good.
Well there are a lot of Nightwish fans that prefer Tarja and they still dreaming of a reunion, they hope that Tarja will be back again and they mostly are the old fans of the band. The ones that became fans after Tarja's era usually prefer Floor over her. That's the biggest disagreement between the fans. But deep down all of us agree that Tuomas Holopainen (the keyboard player and composer of almost every Nightwish song) is a music genius
Accompany Nightwish from the beginning and prefer Floor. I've always found Floor more suited to a heavy metal band. As for Tarja I like the solo career and I have all the albums. I do not like the idea of a meeting. Tarja in NW is passed on to me.
It’s nice to hear Marco getting some appreciation, sadly his vocal talents are often overlooked. If you want to hear his softer voice check out Nightwishe’s cover of Pink Floyd’s High Hopes or Nightwish The Islander Live @ Tampere. Good luck with your other Nightwish video I hope you manage to get it unblocked. (hopefully without having to cut parts out or use a low quality recorded from the audience version) Oh and Floor’s last name is pronounced “Yansen”
I love Floor she is Nightwish present but I think is pretty evident that even when she can sing the entire repertoire from beginning to end there are songs that were created specifically for Tarja's operatic style that Floor will never reproduce, luckily we have these videos to enjoy the best of Tarja and the best of Floor.
They balanced each other, marco is very loud and gritty and tarja had just as strong volume but smooth and warm. Floor seems to excel at 2 speeds, shouting belting (which I love, she sounds great with that) or gentle and thin (so pretty but not strong volume). She gets overpowered by Marco I feel. Tarja just has such a powerful and rich voice that complemented Marcos high tension power metal screeching without ever being drowned out. Floor and Tarja each have their strengths and weaknesses, I love them both, but Tarja has never been overpowered or drowned out by ANYONE she has shared a stage with male or female. Floor herself has even been overpowered by Tarja onstage lol.
@@ScheisseTyranna that's funny because Marco has said in interviews that finally they have a singer where he didn't have to hold back.... and floor is never overpowered by tarja, the one video of them singing together shows tarja telling the crew to up the volume on floor while floor is saying turn it down because it's tarja's song.
Yes!!! Finally, someone is giving Marco his due! Nightwish does a cover of the Pink Floyd song High Hopes with Marco taking Centre stage. As a huge Pink Floyd fan, I must say he does a great job! Props to you, Carl John!!
I am so Floored you gave Marco that pause and shout out Haha. He is the metal God for a reason, such an amazing voice. You should try The Islander by Nightwish for his calm yet relaxing voice work
Thank you so much for giving credit to Marco, he is such a good singer, one of the best. He had a band in the 80's called Tarot, his singing is incredible. For you intrest and certainly mine, take a listen to Jarkko Ahola, Nessun Dorma, a singer with no vocal training what so ever, but with an amazing voice, would be nice to hear your opinion on that. Thank you so much, enjoyed this.
Oh man, asking about Floor vs Tarja is a can of worms. As someone who discovered them somewhat recently, First years with Tarja is unique with her dark soprano voice, its really great stuff, I do not enjoy the middle singer Annette really at all, then Floor who is not as classically inclined as Tarja, but is more versatile with her style, very very good again. You will have people who are devoted to one or the other, I just try to enjoy them for what they have and try not to get too deep in the weeds with the hardcore fans.
I listened to them quite often back when Tarja was the singer, but after she left I kinda lost interest. I saw them in Wacken 2008 with Anette and was absolutely not impressed, even devastated.I listened to the old songs from time to time of course, but I didn't listen to anything new. And I only recently found out about Floor and now I'm rediscovering them. I can't say if I like Tarja or Floor better, they are both amazing. Some songs I still like better with Tarja (for example Romanticide) but in others Floor just nails it.
@@AmarthwenNarmacil I also saw them sometime around then in London. It was not good. She came on-stage wearing jeans and a t-shirt and that just made it look like she didn't even care. I've never heard a crowd cheer so loudly every time the band announced they were about to play an instrumental track! Anette was a perfectly adequate singer, but in a band where nobody else could be described as merely adequate that was not enough. I wasn't sure what to expect with Floor, but from the first time I heard her it was clear she was an extraordianary singer. I hope I can go and see them next time they're here.
I just find it hilarious that the same comments are being thrown around, just less hostile, now that Floor took over as there was when Anette took over. Some people will just never be happy.
For me Anette years in Nightwish were really great. Although I do love Tarja's singing very, very much, I do listen mostly Anette. She is more listenable to me, and her ballads and slow songs are so soft and bautiful. "Eva", "Slow Love Slow" and "Medows of Heaven" for example. And in the kick ass rock songs like Bye bye Beautiful for example, I love her bright and girly voice with intense belting.
i can't imagine what she might have done,short of murder, for nightwish to part ways with her. She has the most stupendous operatic voice and shows it consistently in slow songs or fast ones. Her presence on the stage is one of energy and gratitude to the fans.
Another Marko fan is born. That seems to be a constant when people see this video. They come for Tarja and leave a Marko fanatic! Exactly what happened to me. Thanks for reacting. I wish I had learned of them sooner. In the early 70’s I was a Heavy Metal fan at its beginning in groups like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep. In the 90’s I began to branch out in what I listened to with all kinds including Broadway. Now I am able to hear both at once. The circle has connected! 🤘🏼👍🏻👍🏻
well, I was a fan when Tarja was the lead singer and although Flor is good, for me Tarja is Tarja , maybe because I have known Nightwish with her. And this version of Phantom of the Opera is a masterpiece. Her voice with Marko's voice reach just straight to the core all the time I listen to it, although many years have passed.
Both Floor and Tarja are among the best out there in the genre, in my opinion. Tarja's post-NW stuff shows her singing in less operatic but more contemporary, at least what I've heard, and she's excellent. I can't see it happening, but if she reunited with NW, any new songs they did would be very interesting, and likely different than what they did when she was with them before.
I think with Tarja, Anette and Floor music of the Nighwish can be divided to three different eras. Kinda like with Deep Purple. I think it's positive thing. When I'm in the mood for faster paced power metal with operatic vocals, I pick up "Oceanborn" album from 1998. If I want something cinematic, "tim burtonesque", I choose "Imaginaerum" album from 2011. When I'm in the mood for more traditional symphonic heavy metal (with folk elements), I pick up the latest "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" album. Some people only like one side of this band, and I understand that perfectly. Marco is one of the pioneers in finnish heavy metal scene since the 80's, with his band Tarot. Long before he joined to Nightwish. This song, "Tides" is my all-time favourite performances by Marco. Really emotional singing, ridilously good song! ruclips.net/video/3X9lLP7eHW0/видео.html
Responding 2vu're last comment/question, nightwish fans are really divided, some still love Tarja and her 'operatic/classic' kind of singing, other's prefer Floor Jansen's kind of singing for many different reasons.... I like them both, I prefer Floor because I was already a fan in the 2 other bands that's she's been before going 2 nightwish and I think she can be so versatile, because she goes out of her confort zone and do do many different kinds of singing in just 1 song, she can do classic as well, differently from Tarja but she always tries to sing nightwish (old) songs in her own way.... Even the songs that were written to Annette Olzon witch was the second nightwish lead singer.... That's my opinion anyway....
Very happy to see someone give props to Marco. He is great does not get enough credit. Also there was another vocalist before Floor took over. I like all of them.
Here is the thing: The problem is not who is singing but, the approach and style, which changed way much after Tarja left. I have listened to Nightwish since 2001, and what i liked about them was that unique mix of Opera with Metal, Tarja and Marko complementing each-other very well. Then Tarja's era ended with no explanation to why, and quickly their approach changed to a more pop-rock style with Anette (like Evanescence, and many others at that time). With that change, they went from magical and angelical, rock-opera to a more crowd pleasing pop-rock. Still their most liked repertoire was Metal-Opera and Anette wasn't cutting it on live shows, certainly not to Tarja's level. So they moved to Floor, a tremendous singer, a master at that if you will. She can get close to Tarja's on Rock-Opera old songs, and nail through their new Pop-rock stuff. But thats the big thing ppl are missing from Nightwish, their complete disregard for their magical roots, and becoming another pop-rock band to gain in followers.
Great reaction and even better analysis!! Love the fact that Marco got some love and some acknowledgement. Tarja is a classical trained soprano and it shows but it is Marco's contrast that really makes this a great song! Floor may dominate the stage but her duets with Marco are amazing to listen too. He is really underrated and I am glad a pro can give him so well deserved props!!
Nice review. FYI Tarja was replaced by a singer named Anette Olzon who had a more conventional voice. And then came Floor. You should check out the band Jinjer. Their singer is absolutely incredible, going from very nice clear vocals to the deepest death growl ever.
I do like Tatiana's voice, I don't like when people compare her to Alissa Whit Guz, but anyway, great voice but her kind of singing is very different from nightwish.... But you already knew that...
@@Aquintal30 While they're not all that similar in either growling or singing, successful female growlers don't exactly grow on trees. It's a bit like comparing Nightwish and Epica, doesn't make much sense but people do it anyway because there really isn't a better comparison.
I just recently started getting into Nightwish. I think all 3 singers are great, and brought their own dynamic. If I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be Floor.
I think the thing that sets them apart was that Tarja was a trained opera singer BEFORE she joined Nightwish, she studied at the Sibelius Academy so yes, of course she would stick more to "just opera" style singing.
If you like marco's voice here, this is my suggestion for next nightwish reaction: Nightwish_while your lips are still red ( live at wembley) Marco is the lead singer on this song
Awesome reaction, mate! Great to see you appreciating Marco's performance that much. At first I couldn't understand what Marco sing (screams) in the last parts, but after watching the original version of the song (Andrew Lloyd Webber) I realized there are actual words there lol. Anyway I listened to Nightwish few years before Tarja left and that was a big disappointment at the time. Took a while to get used Anette when her era started, she couldn't sing Tarja's songs so I wasn't listening to them much, but then came Floor and right from the first amateur live footage I loved her voice, and she made Nightwish whole again. On many of the old songs I prefer to listen Tarja's performances since the song isn't the same without her, but on the other hand Floor has made many performances better. Ghost Love Score is a great example. And let's not forget Anette, she has her songs, but unfortunately there are not many lives of her singing.
If you are digging Marco, as others have noted, check out "the islander"(which he wrote), or "while your lips are still red". He also did vocals for another band called "northern kings" that does metal covers of pop songs like sledgehammer, kiss from a rose, dont stop believing, and hello. He also regularly does duets with the band "delain", like "control the storm"
In fact, Floor was also trained as a classical singer but she doesn't sing like that very often now. You should listen to the song The Key, a song of her old band After Forever. And you'll see her full potential :D
Really enjoyed watching this one. Nightwish, I see it as a moving vehicle. The singers do not make what Nightwish is. They are merely instruments to the band. Tuomas is the conductor. To me Nightwish has been exactly what they needed to be in our timeline of existence. I personally have enjoyed the ride, yes even with Annette. I feel Dark Passion Play is exactly what it needs to be. A marvelous band in its entirety and i consider it a privilege to be on this earth in this time as their music continues to play in accord with my life.
One of the greatest cover songs ever made. Another great song with Tarja and Marco is Ever Dream from the same End Of An Era show, you should see to that as well. Their voices sound so good together in the chorus! With Floor I would very much suggest Poet And The Pendulum, it's a beautiful great song and Floor makes it perfect
Both, Floor and Tarja are great singers, Its no about them is about how do you like the band to sound. For me is with Tarja. I prefer that Nightwish. For others it will be with Floor. Anette was to "pop" voice, even she is good.
Thanks for this great reaction. I really enjoyed seeing Marco singing. If you want to choose another Nigthwish Song, where he has a bigger part, please check out High Hopes, it is a Pnk Floyd Cover. If you want to check out seeing marco as a lead singer, you really should go for Tarot and their song "Tides". It really shows Marcos vocal range ... From Nightwish, please react to Ghost River. Between Floor and Tarja I cannot make a joice. both are great singers, but in the end, i think, Tarja wants more than nightwish can give her. and with floor at the moment the band is really perfect. Floor says, she sees them as their brothers. Yesterday I watched an interview from brasil where marco was asked, if he has talked to Tarja during they did the christmas shows in finland together, and he said they talked a lot and decided to let the past in the past. Their break up after this concert (2005, Finnland, hartwell arena) was really ... bad.
Everyone always overlooks Marco's extreme talent, so it's great to see that finally appreciated. I personally prefer Floor, I find her overall tone more appealing than Tarja's which can get a bit grating at times. But both are definitely talented. Annette isn't so bad either, I think she gets an undeservedly bad rap. Sure her voice is more suited to pop, but that doesn't mean that she isn't a talented vocalist in her own right.
Well, I think it is simple: Tarja is a very gifted (opera) singer and Floor is an angel without wings. To me Floor adds warmth to their songs. She will never be singing opera like Tarja, but she is mor touching.
Tarja then Annette then Floor :) Each brought a unique sound to the band in their time. I do love Tarja as I found the band with her when I was little and my dad was listening to them (bit of nostalgia there). The first time I saw them live Annette was their singer and her tone is completely different- it's a lot brighter and not really what you'd expect from the band. Floor coming in was a great choice honestly. She's an incredible singer and has more of the dark tone that Tarja had but is still completely different from her. Each singer for the band has been unique, but has done fantastic work for the group. Also thank you for giving Marco the props he deserves! Too many people overlook him but he really does good work.
In answer to your question, Tarja (Tar-ee-a) was the original voice of Nightwish and was perfect for introducing the whole Symphonic metal genera of a classical soprano voice against a metal band with orchestral support. She was/is a great singer and I love her work with Nightwish. Annette, their second singer, was quite competent, but not really a great fit for nightwish's sound. Floor Jansen (Yan-sen) is the perfect answer for where Nightwish has developed to in the intervening years. The newer material needed a singer who could cover both the classical operatic sound and a heavier rock/metal sound, Floor can do both and is one of the great singers of her generation. Nightwish is very fortunate to have signed her. I would very much suggest listening to and reacting to Floor singing: "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken Open Air 2013. Here is a link: ruclips.net/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/видео.html That is unquestionably one of Floor's greatest performances with Nightwish and the song really shows the full range of her abilities. She has said it is her favorite Nightwish song to sing.
My first vocal coaches were classically trained. I must say I learned a lot from them, particularly they proved to me that although I can sing down to a C3 I am actually a mezzo soprano. However I am a rock singer ; that's where my soul is; singing songs by Chris Cornell and the classical style doesn't really work so well for this 😂. From you I have learned to remind myself keep it steady and even when I sing ; like a gentle flexing while releasing; hold on to the sound rather than go totally wild. (Sometimes I like to sing for sensation if that makes any sense and that doesn't always work either) 😂 Fairly recently I have suddenly acquired this occasional natural rasp when I sing; it comes out on its own; it is not forced and it feels like it comes from above the vocal chords if that makes any sense. I know it is not a damaging kind of distortion. Pretty cool stuff. I also think as great as it can be to have vocal coaches; one needs to experiment with their sound themselves. No one is the expert of your own voice except for you yourself. To sing well you need to let go and stop judging; easier said than done but quite necessary!
Came down here to mention that you may have blown open Pandora's Box with that last question but I see almost everyone else has already made you full aware... For the record, I respect them all. They all contributed to my continued enjoyment of the band over the years, though I confess that personally, I prefer Tarja over Anette or Floor.
Actually Tarja was the original vocalist, then there was a Swedish pop-queen singer (when the band changed their genre to pop metal), and finally they returned to symphonic metal with Floor
It is interesting you said it was lights out for the band. If I recall correctly they fired Tarja's manager husband and by extension Tarja after that particular concert. It took a year of pandemic for me to find Nightwish after 2005/2006 in 2021. I just wish I had found them again in 2012.
I'd recommend you check out the islander by Nightwish which is far more folk-like, it's a really interesting song to hear by them. Then I'd check out Tarja doing her classical album of ave maria. Give's you a taste of Marco's vocals in a great song and then Tarja showing her "routs".
The bassist, Marco, was in other Finnish metal bands before he joined Nightwish. He is ten years older than everyone else in the band, and has many years of experience as a vocalist.
My recommendation would be to check more of Tarja's solo career because with Nightwish she started to experiment with her voice by the end of 2005 but nowadays 2019, she barely sings classical on her rock concerts. Check out The House of Wax or Love to Hate live, there are oficial videos.
I just want to say I have always loved, LOVED Marco and most people are like meh. My husband never liked Marco either. Your face though...that made my day.
Tarja or Floor, both are awesome singers. Anette is the only vocalist who doesn't sound like "Nightwish", she has too bright of a tone to fit in in my opinion.
Tarja was sacked by the band and they were without a lead singer for two singers, annett ozland then was lead singer from 2007-2012. Floor tok over when annett was ill, Floor came in for the tour to cover then she was taken on fully after the tour, the tour in question was imaginan i believe
Marko Hietala is singing in many Nightwish songs, go and check him out ( Islander; Buy buy beautiful; High hopes ( Pinkfloyd); Master Passion Greed etc). Thanks for a great reaction.
There are several camps so to speak when it comes to which era of Nightwish is the best. The singer they had in-between Tarja and Floor was also pretty good, though seemingly the least popular amongst Nightwish fans. If you want to react to a similar band to Nightwish, may I suggest Xandria or Visions of Atlantis?
@@jukopliut literally only the few remaining tarja fan boys are still dying on this hill. No trolling. Floor is the better singer. Period. Better voice control, better timing, better emotiveness, better crowd control, better low notes, better belting ability, more dynamic, more color, and not a bitch to the rest of the band. I get it, it's nostalgia for you tarja is nightwish because she was the singer you first heard. Sorry to tall you, she doesn't compare even slightly, to floor's singing ability. It's ok, I feel the same way about a few bands. But to believe she is the superior singer, is just delusional. Face it, tarja is a one trick pony.
Floor has the smoother, dreamier delivery, well suited for the likes of Ghost Love Song, but on the more driving songs like Nemo Tarja hit's the spot. They certainly both command respect, and i'll never get tired of watching the original Sleeping Sun video that shows a more natural looking Tarja before the band really hit the bigtime.
Please please please React to Floor and Marco singing Ave Maria. It's soooo pretty. You hear Marco's amazing clean voice, Floor's Classical and pop/rock voice...it's so amazing!!!
Asking Nightwish fans about the female singers = You will still be getting comments 53 years from now :) Song suggestion : Epica feat Floor Jansen - Sancta Terra Live
Agree. That's a great performance.
I agree, he’d absolutely love that performance. When Floor and Simone get together incredible things happen.
Yep, by asking fans about singers you started war in comments
Oh dear, now you've put the cat among the pigeons! Fan opinion on the 3 singers that Nightwish has had is almost as likely to break into arguments as politics! The sequence was Tarja Turunen, then Anette Olzon, and now Floor Jansen. All 3 are sopranos, Tarja and Floor both have classical training. As you mentioned Tarja tended to stay in the classical style when she snag with Nightwish. Anette has a much britgher, brassy sound, to me, and listening to songs sung by Anette and either Tarja or Floor, you can tell the mixing/arranging/sound was changed to have the music better mesh with her vocals. With Floor, the band was able to go back to the 'original' style, as her voice has the power to compete with the heavier playing.
+1 on both points :D
It is so great to have some one give props to Marco. He is an amazing musician. If you want to hear some other Marco songs here are some suggestions. Nightwish did a cover song of Pink Floyd's song "High Hopes". Marco sang that at the End of an Era concert. "The Islander" at Tampere, "Master Passion Greed" studio version, because it has never been done live that I know of. High Hopes is my favorite. Thanks!
High Hopes! Marco's Pizza 😍
@@ortti8397 I know where that came from....... lol
Or his own band Tarot 😁
oh my friend i love the cover of high hopes really showed marcos ability
What's most impressive about Nightwish reaction videos are mostly that people want to measure the female singers... Yet Marco's still probably more important then the female front for me. Tarja's awesome, Anette was ok in the songs tailored for her and Floors reaally great... but somehow Marco's like the keyplayer in so many great songs, at least for me.
I became a fan of Nightwish while Tarja was still still in the band, and to this day I very much prefer the way she sang the old songs.
However I am glad that they have found Floor. I think she's an amazingly talented singer, and fit the ascetic of the band very well, even if I do prefer the old versions.
You should never ask that question about Nightwish singers :D
just dont open the pandora box, ever.
Ask or not, people go comparing them anyway and cheering their own favorite.
But I'm happy that many people who thought Nightwish died after break up with Tarja, have returned and are enjoying the band with Floor now! Just about everyone thought: "good luck ever finding someone who can step in Tarja's shoes". Well, good luck happened! Or well, I suppose it was skill too, finding the right person.
The bass player, Marco, has another band called 'Tarot' where he is the lead vocal. They've been making albums since the 1980's.
He is also in a cover band called Northern Kings
Their cover of Take On Me is amazing
His work in Ayreon gives another peak into his diversity
Also look up The Powerless Trio for Marco
He also now has a solo project with finnish lyrics
Check out: Marco Hietala - Isäni ääni
Isäni ääni translation is 'My Father's Voice
it's a slow clean vocal song
Also his vocals on 'While your lips are still red' Nightwish live at Wembley arena are worth checking out, as well as 'The Islander' live in Tampere
If you really want to hear Marco (base player) in his full glory React to or The Islander or While your lips are still red of Nightwish he sings those (the islander has some assistance tho)
Or High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover) from this same show!
Yeah, Marco did amazing in the High Hopes cover. And The Islander and While Your Lips Are Still Red, both are beautiful songs. ❤️
Or TAROT
Agreed, I hope he does more songs with Marco!! The Islander live at Tampere would be a good idea I think :-)
Finally someone to trully appreciate Marco in this one. Everyone request this wanting to show Tarja's abilities but as a classical trained singer she is more used to this. So IMHO Marco is the real star here.
Floor is their third singer came in the end of 2012(there is another one between Tarja and Floor called Anette Olzon - conventional poppy voice) and is amazingly diverse as she gives many opportunities to the band's songwriting (speaking of Floor if it's not clear heheh..)
Sorry to hear your Nightwish video has been blocked. You can implement some interruptions in this recording for avoiding copyrights and upload it again. I am really curious which song is inside and what is your opinion.
Looking forward to see it..
I completely agree but I just want to add that without Tarja Nightwish wouldn't be a metal band. Tuomas and Emppu where going to a completely different direction before they asked Tarja to be the singer.
@@annelipohjonen6792 Yeah maybe... still I think it's Tuomas merit for being so flexible and genial to combine the things. Tarja is their first singer proposed by their teacher Plamen Dimov. Who can say what would happened if there was another singer came in and what Tuomas would do depending on her voice..?! I can't and nobody can imho..
I bet it's the Wembley version of The Poet and the Pendulum based on his comments. That wasn't Marco's best version of the song, he sounded strained.
@@daliden Probably you are right..
I wish Marco was showcased more.. what an awesome growl!
Finally a voice coach gives Marco credits! He is a fantastic singer. Check out his other band "Tarot" too :)
Voice Coach : "You here how high the bass player is singing?"
Marco : "Here, hold my Warwick".
listen nightwish's Islander. Marco is singing there with the formal singer, Anette, before Floor.
Or The Islander live from Tampare together with Floor. (In my opinion much better version)
Tampere.
Yeah I agree, that's a good version.
Yessss Marco getting some Love!!!! FINALLY!!!!
I'm crying laughing about you innocently asking the Tarja - Floor question. 😂 Personally I think both are fantastic singers and NW is very good at tailoring their songwriting to their current singer. So I think Tarja shines most in the stuff that was written for her but Floor is brilliantly versatile in being able to sing the songs for all three singers. I grew up with Tarja so I will always like her most but that really doesn't take anything away from Floor.
Marko is probably the biggest talent in Nightwish by being a awesome baseplayer AND a great singer. Not an easy thing to do. great reaction
Marco actually has nerve damage in one of his vocal cords. In the 90's he went through a surgery to remove a polyp from that vocal cord, which caused the damage. He almost lost his voice and had to train really hard to get most of his vocal register back. Dispite of that his vocal cords will never "synch" again, and, for example, his clean falsetto is gone for good.
Interesting thank you for this info 👍🏻
Where did you read that.
From Marco's biography. :)
Well there are a lot of Nightwish fans that prefer Tarja and they still dreaming of a reunion, they hope that Tarja will be back again and they mostly are the old fans of the band. The ones that became fans after Tarja's era usually prefer Floor over her. That's the biggest disagreement between the fans. But deep down all of us agree that Tuomas Holopainen (the keyboard player and composer of almost every Nightwish song) is a music genius
Accompany Nightwish from the beginning and prefer Floor. I've always found Floor more suited to a heavy metal band. As for Tarja I like the solo career and I have all the albums. I do not like the idea of a meeting. Tarja in NW is passed on to me.
Marco Hietala did an amazing cover of High Hopes by Pinkfloyd, he really made it his own. Hope you react to this.
Yes ! That cover is so amazing
It’s nice to hear Marco getting some appreciation, sadly his vocal talents are often overlooked. If you want to hear his softer voice check out Nightwishe’s cover of Pink Floyd’s High Hopes or Nightwish The Islander Live @ Tampere.
Good luck with your other Nightwish video I hope you manage to get it unblocked. (hopefully without having to cut parts out or use a low quality recorded from the audience version) Oh and Floor’s last name is pronounced “Yansen”
I love Floor she is Nightwish present but I think is pretty evident that even when she can sing the entire repertoire from beginning to end there are songs that were created specifically for Tarja's operatic style that Floor will never reproduce, luckily we have these videos to enjoy the best of Tarja and the best of Floor.
I don't really care what anyone says, Tarja and Marco are the ultimate combination for Nightwish.
They balanced each other, marco is very loud and gritty and tarja had just as strong volume but smooth and warm. Floor seems to excel at 2 speeds, shouting belting (which I love, she sounds great with that) or gentle and thin (so pretty but not strong volume). She gets overpowered by Marco I feel. Tarja just has such a powerful and rich voice that complemented Marcos high tension power metal screeching without ever being drowned out. Floor and Tarja each have their strengths and weaknesses, I love them both, but Tarja has never been overpowered or drowned out by ANYONE she has shared a stage with male or female. Floor herself has even been overpowered by Tarja onstage lol.
@@ScheisseTyranna that's funny because Marco has said in interviews that finally they have a singer where he didn't have to hold back.... and floor is never overpowered by tarja, the one video of them singing together shows tarja telling the crew to up the volume on floor while floor is saying turn it down because it's tarja's song.
Yes!!! Finally, someone is giving Marco his due! Nightwish does a cover of the Pink Floyd song High Hopes with Marco taking Centre stage. As a huge Pink Floyd fan, I must say he does a great job! Props to you, Carl John!!
I am so Floored you gave Marco that pause and shout out Haha. He is the metal God for a reason, such an amazing voice. You should try The Islander by Nightwish for his calm yet relaxing voice work
Thank you so much for giving credit to Marco, he is such a good singer, one of the best. He had a band in the 80's called Tarot, his singing is incredible. For you intrest and certainly mine, take a listen to Jarkko Ahola, Nessun Dorma, a singer with no vocal training what so ever, but with an amazing voice, would be nice to hear your opinion on that. Thank you so much, enjoyed this.
Oh man, asking about Floor vs Tarja is a can of worms. As someone who discovered them somewhat recently, First years with Tarja is unique with her dark soprano voice, its really great stuff, I do not enjoy the middle singer Annette really at all, then Floor who is not as classically inclined as Tarja, but is more versatile with her style, very very good again. You will have people who are devoted to one or the other, I just try to enjoy them for what they have and try not to get too deep in the weeds with the hardcore fans.
I listened to them quite often back when Tarja was the singer, but after she left I kinda lost interest. I saw them in Wacken 2008 with Anette and was absolutely not impressed, even devastated.I listened to the old songs from time to time of course, but I didn't listen to anything new. And I only recently found out about Floor and now I'm rediscovering them. I can't say if I like Tarja or Floor better, they are both amazing. Some songs I still like better with Tarja (for example Romanticide) but in others Floor just nails it.
@@AmarthwenNarmacil I also saw them sometime around then in London. It was not good. She came on-stage wearing jeans and a t-shirt and that just made it look like she didn't even care. I've never heard a crowd cheer so loudly every time the band announced they were about to play an instrumental track!
Anette was a perfectly adequate singer, but in a band where nobody else could be described as merely adequate that was not enough. I wasn't sure what to expect with Floor, but from the first time I heard her it was clear she was an extraordianary singer. I hope I can go and see them next time they're here.
I just find it hilarious that the same comments are being thrown around, just less hostile, now that Floor took over as there was when Anette took over. Some people will just never be happy.
For me Anette years in Nightwish were really great. Although I do love Tarja's singing very, very much, I do listen mostly Anette. She is more listenable to me, and her ballads and slow songs are so soft and bautiful. "Eva", "Slow Love Slow" and "Medows of Heaven" for example. And in the kick ass rock songs like Bye bye Beautiful for example, I love her bright and girly voice with intense belting.
Every single Annette song sounds 100x better, sung by floor...... they won't, but I wish they would go back and re-record them with floor's vocals.
i can't imagine what she might have done,short of murder, for nightwish to part ways with her. She has the most stupendous operatic voice and shows it consistently in slow songs or fast ones. Her presence on the stage is one of energy and gratitude to the fans.
Another Marko fan is born. That seems to be a constant when people see this video. They come for Tarja and leave a Marko fanatic! Exactly what happened to me. Thanks for reacting. I wish I had learned of them sooner. In the early 70’s I was a Heavy Metal fan at its beginning in groups like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep. In the 90’s I began to branch out in what I listened to with all kinds including Broadway. Now I am able to hear both at once. The circle has connected! 🤘🏼👍🏻👍🏻
well, I was a fan when Tarja was the lead singer and although Flor is good, for me Tarja is Tarja , maybe because I have known Nightwish with her. And this version of Phantom of the Opera is a masterpiece. Her voice with Marko's voice reach just straight to the core all the time I listen to it, although many years have passed.
Loving your pleasant and laidback style of commentary, and watching a knowledgeable musician reacting to these videos is very enlightening. Big ups!
floor and marco doing ave maria is great
Their ave Maria made me cry... Definitely needs a reaction
one of my favourite songs very well executed
Tarja and Marco always and forever. And I’m not an older fan. Just recently I really dived into nightwish and my lord Tarja is by far my favourite
Both Floor and Tarja are among the best out there in the genre, in my opinion. Tarja's post-NW stuff shows her singing in less operatic but more contemporary, at least what I've heard, and she's excellent. I can't see it happening, but if she reunited with NW, any new songs they did would be very interesting, and likely different than what they did when she was with them before.
Always funny when someone is amazed on Marcos singing... always hit from the bushes. :)
This is one of my favorite bands I recently discovered, I love both floor and tarja both equal. metal forever my people.
I think with Tarja, Anette and Floor music of the Nighwish can be divided to three different eras. Kinda like with Deep Purple. I think it's positive thing. When I'm in the mood for faster paced power metal with operatic vocals, I pick up "Oceanborn" album from 1998. If I want something cinematic, "tim burtonesque", I choose "Imaginaerum" album from 2011. When I'm in the mood for more traditional symphonic heavy metal (with folk elements), I pick up the latest "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" album. Some people only like one side of this band, and I understand that perfectly. Marco is one of the pioneers in finnish heavy metal scene since the 80's, with his band Tarot. Long before he joined to Nightwish. This song, "Tides" is my all-time favourite performances by Marco. Really emotional singing, ridilously good song! ruclips.net/video/3X9lLP7eHW0/видео.html
Love that you give credit to Marko, he's fucking amazing!
Responding 2vu're last comment/question, nightwish fans are really divided, some still love Tarja and her 'operatic/classic' kind of singing, other's prefer Floor Jansen's kind of singing for many different reasons.... I like them both, I prefer Floor because I was already a fan in the 2 other bands that's she's been before going 2 nightwish and I think she can be so versatile, because she goes out of her confort zone and do do many different kinds of singing in just 1 song, she can do classic as well, differently from Tarja but she always tries to sing nightwish (old) songs in her own way.... Even the songs that were written to Annette Olzon witch was the second nightwish lead singer.... That's my opinion anyway....
One of the most beautiful performances I've ever heard Marco do was Ave Maria with Floor. It was just insanely gorgeous.
Very happy to see someone give props to Marco. He is great does not get enough credit. Also there was another vocalist before Floor took over. I like all of them.
i want to cry when i hear her or Floor display their operatic voice
Here is the thing: The problem is not who is singing but, the approach and style, which changed way much after Tarja left. I have listened to Nightwish since 2001, and what i liked about them was that unique mix of Opera with Metal, Tarja and Marko complementing each-other very well. Then Tarja's era ended with no explanation to why, and quickly their approach changed to a more pop-rock style with Anette (like Evanescence, and many others at that time). With that change, they went from magical and angelical, rock-opera to a more crowd pleasing pop-rock. Still their most liked repertoire was Metal-Opera and Anette wasn't cutting it on live shows, certainly not to Tarja's level. So they moved to Floor, a tremendous singer, a master at that if you will. She can get close to Tarja's on Rock-Opera old songs, and nail through their new Pop-rock stuff. But thats the big thing ppl are missing from Nightwish, their complete disregard for their magical roots, and becoming another pop-rock band to gain in followers.
If you asked me who my favorite Nightwish singer was 10 years ago, it would be Tarja. But now that im older, i appreciate them all.
Great reaction and even better analysis!! Love the fact that Marco got some love and some acknowledgement. Tarja is a classical trained soprano and it shows but it is Marco's contrast that really makes this a great song! Floor may dominate the stage but her duets with Marco are amazing to listen too. He is really underrated and I am glad a pro can give him so well deserved props!!
OG Nightwish. Tarja all day every day. She is my dark queen 🙌
Nice review. FYI Tarja was replaced by a singer named Anette Olzon who had a more conventional voice. And then came Floor.
You should check out the band Jinjer. Their singer is absolutely incredible, going from very nice clear vocals to the deepest death growl ever.
I do like Tatiana's voice, I don't like when people compare her to Alissa Whit Guz, but anyway, great voice but her kind of singing is very different from nightwish.... But you already knew that...
@@Aquintal30 While they're not all that similar in either growling or singing, successful female growlers don't exactly grow on trees. It's a bit like comparing Nightwish and Epica, doesn't make much sense but people do it anyway because there really isn't a better comparison.
@@ozzyp97 so people only know those 2.... Check out a band called abnormality.... And there many others....
I just recently started getting into Nightwish. I think all 3 singers are great, and brought their own dynamic. If I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be Floor.
I think the thing that sets them apart was that Tarja was a trained opera singer BEFORE she joined Nightwish, she studied at the Sibelius Academy so yes, of course she would stick more to "just opera" style singing.
If you like marco's voice here, this is my suggestion for next nightwish reaction:
Nightwish_while your lips are still red ( live at wembley)
Marco is the lead singer on this song
Awesome reaction, mate! Great to see you appreciating Marco's performance that much. At first I couldn't understand what Marco sing (screams) in the last parts, but after watching the original version of the song (Andrew Lloyd Webber) I realized there are actual words there lol. Anyway I listened to Nightwish few years before Tarja left and that was a big disappointment at the time. Took a while to get used Anette when her era started, she couldn't sing Tarja's songs so I wasn't listening to them much, but then came Floor and right from the first amateur live footage I loved her voice, and she made Nightwish whole again. On many of the old songs I prefer to listen Tarja's performances since the song isn't the same without her, but on the other hand Floor has made many performances better. Ghost Love Score is a great example. And let's not forget Anette, she has her songs, but unfortunately there are not many lives of her singing.
YES!
MORE MARCO LOVE!!!!
Also as everyone has said The Islander but the Live at Tampere version is amazing.
If you are digging Marco, as others have noted, check out "the islander"(which he wrote), or "while your lips are still red". He also did vocals for another band called "northern kings" that does metal covers of pop songs like sledgehammer, kiss from a rose, dont stop believing, and hello. He also regularly does duets with the band "delain", like "control the storm"
In fact, Floor was also trained as a classical singer but she doesn't sing like that very often now. You should listen to the song The Key, a song of her old band After Forever. And you'll see her full potential :D
Really enjoyed watching this one. Nightwish, I see it as a moving vehicle. The singers do not make what Nightwish is. They are merely instruments to the band. Tuomas is the conductor. To me Nightwish has been exactly what they needed to be in our timeline of existence. I personally have enjoyed the ride, yes even with Annette. I feel Dark Passion Play is exactly what it needs to be. A marvelous band in its entirety and i consider it a privilege to be on this earth in this time as their music continues to play in accord with my life.
One of the greatest cover songs ever made. Another great song with Tarja and Marco is Ever Dream from the same End Of An Era show, you should see to that as well. Their voices sound so good together in the chorus! With Floor I would very much suggest Poet And The Pendulum, it's a beautiful great song and Floor makes it perfect
I love tarja and i love floor too. They are too different but still love how they sound with our nightwish!
marco is love
Marco and Floor did Ave Maria in 2016, it's a beautiful performance if you want to check that out.
the highlight from end of an era
Both, Floor and Tarja are great singers, Its no about them is about how do you like the band to sound. For me is with Tarja. I prefer that Nightwish. For others it will be with Floor. Anette was to "pop" voice, even she is good.
Thanks for this great reaction.
I really enjoyed seeing Marco singing. If you want to choose another Nigthwish Song, where he has a bigger part, please check out High Hopes, it is a Pnk Floyd Cover.
If you want to check out seeing marco as a lead singer, you really should go for Tarot and their song "Tides". It really shows Marcos vocal range ...
From Nightwish, please react to Ghost River.
Between Floor and Tarja I cannot make a joice. both are great singers, but in the end, i think, Tarja wants more than nightwish can give her. and with floor at the moment the band is really perfect. Floor says, she sees them as their brothers.
Yesterday I watched an interview from brasil where marco was asked, if he has talked to Tarja during they did the christmas shows in finland together, and he said they talked a lot and decided to let the past in the past.
Their break up after this concert (2005, Finnland, hartwell arena) was really ... bad.
Everyone always overlooks Marco's extreme talent, so it's great to see that finally appreciated. I personally prefer Floor, I find her overall tone more appealing than Tarja's which can get a bit grating at times. But both are definitely talented. Annette isn't so bad either, I think she gets an undeservedly bad rap. Sure her voice is more suited to pop, but that doesn't mean that she isn't a talented vocalist in her own right.
The islander - Live tampere ( this one was composed and sang by Marco)
Well, I think it is simple: Tarja is a very gifted (opera) singer and Floor is an angel without wings. To me Floor adds warmth to their songs. She will never be singing opera like Tarja, but she is mor touching.
I'm so glad you watch this!! If you don't mind, you can check "Nightwish - The Islander (Live At Tampere)" That's amazing too
Tarja then Annette then Floor :) Each brought a unique sound to the band in their time. I do love Tarja as I found the band with her when I was little and my dad was listening to them (bit of nostalgia there). The first time I saw them live Annette was their singer and her tone is completely different- it's a lot brighter and not really what you'd expect from the band. Floor coming in was a great choice honestly. She's an incredible singer and has more of the dark tone that Tarja had but is still completely different from her. Each singer for the band has been unique, but has done fantastic work for the group.
Also thank you for giving Marco the props he deserves! Too many people overlook him but he really does good work.
Tarja is awesome! i love Nightwish, you also should react to Nightwish - Storytime with Floor
In answer to your question, Tarja (Tar-ee-a) was the original voice of Nightwish and was perfect for introducing the whole Symphonic metal genera of a classical soprano voice against a metal band with orchestral support. She was/is a great singer and I love her work with Nightwish.
Annette, their second singer, was quite competent, but not really a great fit for nightwish's sound. Floor Jansen (Yan-sen) is the perfect answer for where Nightwish has developed to in the intervening years. The newer material needed a singer who could cover both the classical operatic sound and a heavier rock/metal sound, Floor can do both and is one of the great singers of her generation. Nightwish is very fortunate to have signed her.
I would very much suggest listening to and reacting to Floor singing: "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken Open Air 2013. Here is a link: ruclips.net/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/видео.html That is unquestionably one of Floor's greatest performances with Nightwish and the song really shows the full range of her abilities. She has said it is her favorite Nightwish song to sing.
He already has a reaction for the song
My first vocal coaches were classically trained. I must say I learned a lot from them, particularly they proved to me that although I can sing down to a C3 I am actually a mezzo soprano. However I am a rock singer ; that's where my soul is; singing songs by Chris Cornell and the classical style doesn't really work so well for this 😂.
From you I have learned to remind myself keep it steady and even when I sing ; like a gentle flexing while releasing; hold on to the sound rather than go totally wild. (Sometimes I like to sing for sensation if that makes any sense and that doesn't always work either) 😂
Fairly recently I have suddenly acquired this occasional natural rasp when I sing; it comes out on its own; it is not forced and it feels like it comes from above the vocal chords if that makes any sense. I know it is not a damaging kind of distortion. Pretty cool stuff. I also think as great as it can be to have vocal coaches; one needs to experiment with their sound themselves. No one is the expert of your own voice except for you yourself. To sing well you need to let go and stop judging; easier said than done but quite necessary!
Came down here to mention that you may have blown open Pandora's Box with that last question but I see almost everyone else has already made you full aware...
For the record, I respect them all. They all contributed to my continued enjoyment of the band over the years, though I confess that personally, I prefer Tarja over Anette or Floor.
Actually Tarja was the original vocalist, then there was a Swedish pop-queen singer (when the band changed their genre to pop metal), and finally they returned to symphonic metal with Floor
It is interesting you said it was lights out for the band. If I recall correctly they fired Tarja's manager husband and by extension Tarja after that particular concert. It took a year of pandemic for me to find Nightwish after 2005/2006 in 2021. I just wish I had found them again in 2012.
yep Marko and Tarja are just so perfect in that song
The little cute laugh 💜
We just love the band regardless!!!!
I'd recommend you check out the islander by Nightwish which is far more folk-like, it's a really interesting song to hear by them. Then I'd check out Tarja doing her classical album of ave maria. Give's you a taste of Marco's vocals in a great song and then Tarja showing her "routs".
The bassist, Marco, was in other Finnish metal bands before he joined Nightwish. He is ten years older than everyone else in the band, and has many years of experience as a vocalist.
His main band is called Tarot ;)
Floor only joined the band in 2013. Between Tarja and Floor Nightwish had Anette Olzon as a singer.
My recommendation would be to check more of Tarja's solo career because with Nightwish she started to experiment with her voice by the end of 2005 but nowadays 2019, she barely sings classical on her rock concerts. Check out The House of Wax or Love to Hate live, there are oficial videos.
The key player writes all their music and he was very depressed about Tarja leaving. I think they cried after this concert, breaks my heart.
If you want some deep and heavy female vocals, try listening to usha uthup from India.
Apart from the fact that all the widely known NW hits were written for Tarja , I grew up with Tarja's voice
CJF-comments about Marcos harsh and high notes after a couple of minutes.
Fans-hold your breath.
Marco-hold my beer
I just want to say I have always loved, LOVED Marco and most people are like meh. My husband never liked Marco either. Your face though...that made my day.
😅👍🏻
yeah that is the vocal couch
React to Epica- Sancta Terra feat Floor Jansen live
If you want to hear more Marco singing check Nightwish while your lips And Nightwish The Islander (oh and he has a band of his own called Tarot)
I like Tarja but i Love Floor
Floor Fanatic Tarja is a queen
Tarja or Floor, both are awesome singers. Anette is the only vocalist who doesn't sound like "Nightwish", she has too bright of a tone to fit in in my opinion.
Tarja is a Lyric (Mezzo) Soprano with a 3 octave voice range; trained.
Tarja was sacked by the band and they were without a lead singer for two singers, annett ozland then was lead singer from 2007-2012. Floor tok over when annett was ill, Floor came in for the tour to cover then she was taken on fully after the tour, the tour in question was imaginan i believe
Marko Hietala is singing in many Nightwish songs, go and check him out ( Islander; Buy buy beautiful; High hopes ( Pinkfloyd); Master Passion Greed etc).
Thanks for a great reaction.
Powerwolf - Kreuzfeuer (live Masters of Rock 2015). One of the best male vocalists in metal that I know of.
There are several camps so to speak when it comes to which era of Nightwish is the best.
The singer they had in-between Tarja and Floor was also pretty good, though seemingly the least popular amongst Nightwish fans.
If you want to react to a similar band to Nightwish, may I suggest Xandria or Visions of Atlantis?
Check Tides from the band tarot (the live version), to check Marco Heitala amazing voice
I love Tarja!!!
Please check out Marco's guest vocals on a song by 'Delain' entitled 'Sing To Me'.
Love his vocals!!!!
Check out “High Hopes” (Pink Floyd cover) from the same show. Marco is amazing
I think You should check out one of Marco's solo projects "The powerless trio" especially their cover of Dio's Holy Diver 👏
Actually Floor didnt replace Tarja back in 2005, another girl called Anette Olzon did. She left in 2012 and that's when Floor took over.
Tarja is definitely the best Nightwish singer 😍
Nope.... you mean she is your favorite..... Floor is simply a better singer.
@@mikemclaughlin3306 You are talking silly. Of course Tarja is better
@@jukopliut lol.... at what? Not singing. Not looking. Not as a band mate.
@@mikemclaughlin3306 Ha Ha. Now I see. Everybody knows that Tarja is better every way. You just tried to troll me. Nice try better luck next time.
@@jukopliut literally only the few remaining tarja fan boys are still dying on this hill. No trolling. Floor is the better singer. Period. Better voice control, better timing, better emotiveness, better crowd control, better low notes, better belting ability, more dynamic, more color, and not a bitch to the rest of the band. I get it, it's nostalgia for you tarja is nightwish because she was the singer you first heard. Sorry to tall you, she doesn't compare even slightly, to floor's singing ability. It's ok, I feel the same way about a few bands. But to believe she is the superior singer, is just delusional. Face it, tarja is a one trick pony.
Floor has the smoother, dreamier delivery, well suited for the likes of Ghost Love Song, but on the more driving songs like Nemo Tarja hit's the spot. They certainly both command respect, and i'll never get tired of watching the original Sleeping Sun video that shows a more natural looking Tarja before the band really hit the bigtime.
To appreciate her low chest voice you should listen her cover "House of wax" or her high voice in the classical music shes singing actually
Tarja just has a beautiful voice, rich and deep. She's just not proficient at rock.. YET
Please please please React to Floor and Marco singing Ave Maria. It's soooo pretty. You hear Marco's amazing clean voice, Floor's Classical and pop/rock voice...it's so amazing!!!
