hello darling ones. I just want you to know that I DID watch the whole thing whilst making this video (and once after too) and I fully appreciate the song and the instrumentalists. I'm a bass player too, so I especially enjoyed the bassist's performance as part of this beautifully arranged and performed through-composition. Thing is, this channel is all about singing and vocal technique which is why I cut it up the way I did to 'cut to the chase'. I'm really sorry to disappoint those who don't enjoy this style of reaction/ analysis- and i'm so thrilled and grateful for the people who liked it! Lots and lots of love, TFVM 💜
reactor tips : after a pause especially mid vocals please go back a bit before resuming for song continuity,your viewers will appreciate it :), I appreciate your expert analysis but unfortunately it seems like you did not have much respect for the music , the music giving context to the vocals is important,this song being the most reacted to song on YT with many reactors getting over 2.5 Million views and Nightwish having the largest and most passionate fan base on YT, Floor Jansen is a voice master and has been a vocal coach in between bands prior to NW, many & I mean very many highly respected and seasoned voice pros have reacted to this song and Floor's flawless technique but no one has ever done it by chopping up the song something NO ONE has ever done .
You do you! I prefer a reaction that adds something over the usual 'oh that is soooooooooooooo good'. Start was a bit jarring (some ways into the intro), but I got up to speed soon enough. Not a singer or musician at all, but LOVE the information you add. Big ++ from me!
Everyone should have a "Fairy Voice Mother" in their lives. But finding one that is pitch perfect, educational, honest, engaging & off the cuff funny is an absolute treasure.
We don´t mind watching a 30 mins video with full song reaction, not just singing parts. Nightwish compositions are masterpieces that deserve proper recognition.
@@MoMoMyPup10 Well to not show the whole song is just ridiculous. I can't tell you how many vocal coaches I've seen reacting to songs from all kinds of bands and not one has just shown the vocal parts. Nightwish has nothing to do with it!
@@sloppys5962 I like Nightwish too, but to deny their songs can meander a bit is silly to me. She's focused on the vocals, not every ounce of the song. So it makes perfect sense that she wants to keep it short and sweet, there's only so much someone can do when they're sitting around and listening to something they aren't qualified to comment on.
Hello The Fairy Voice Mother ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar.. (Yes, we have a radar for Nightwish reactions, how cool is that?!..) Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air festival 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of a 82k audience. Also a recent sad news - these days Marco Hietala, the bass player and male singer of the band, announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. As I saw you enjoyed this powerful performance of the band, together with the stellar vocals and charisma of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen. You absolutely understood what Floor did on that stage, thank you for taking the time to explainit to us! Hope you'll continue on this path. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory): "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ruclips.net/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/видео.html "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ruclips.net/video/pvkYwOJZONU/видео.html "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ruclips.net/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/видео.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) ruclips.net/video/lQu5QjidHWg/видео.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) ruclips.net/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/видео.html "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ruclips.net/video/05eitd-EA6I/видео.html "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) ruclips.net/video/OvOD6xecph4/видео.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) ruclips.net/video/knqeI807ZlY/видео.html "Sleeping Sun" live at Vizovice Masters of Rock festival 2016 (ballad) ruclips.net/video/pVPTUEW1PEM/видео.html "The Islander" live at Tampere 2015 (Marco in charge..) ruclips.net/video/Zo8ncK_5kzc/видео.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) ruclips.net/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/видео.html "Alpenglow" live at Wembley 2015 (uplifting / metal) ruclips.net/video/FrJvKZNEh7g/видео.html "Sahara" live at Tampa 2016 (middle eastern vibe) ruclips.net/video/lTvYfLa4Wlk/видео.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ruclips.net/video/wA44tjaP5n0/видео.html "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) ruclips.net/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/видео.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ruclips.net/video/t26r_vAYQ0Q/видео.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) ruclips.net/video/AN239Pbqbjo/видео.html "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) ruclips.net/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/видео.html And if you want to hear Floor growling :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 ruclips.net/video/DuwY1d-KIss/видео.html Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..) The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. I have nothing against previous singers, but I do not consider myself the most suitable person to give specific recommendations from their repertoires. ** I think it's your place, fans of previous Nightwish eras, to present to the reactors the best recommendations with Tarja Turunen and Anette Olzon, because you know and appreciate them directly. I encourage you to add the best recommendations in the comments. ** That being said, I will add here the message left the other days by an old fan of the band, @Fabrizio Gorla: " To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

Then 4 weeks ago she added to the list a powerful cover of "Adagio" by Lara Fabian (!!!) - 315K views now.. Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
You’re incredible. Every time one of these singers does something insane, you geek out, and then just do it yourself lol. Blows me away. Would love to hear you sing full out!
This is my favourite song of all time. Have to say your overview of it is the best and most interesting I’ve seen, thanks for doing this song! Also you sound awesome singing the parts you did!
Yes, that would also be a good idea for a reaction and analysis video. By the way, Nightwish also made a cover of phantom of the opera. Never forget the vocal talent of Marko as well. He and Floor together are also awesome.
@@firstclaw1 The best ever Nightwish Phantom of the Opera duo is Tarja and Marko, that is absolutely undeniable. What is very sad is that the new "generation" of fans have completely forgotten how good was Tarja and think Floor is the best... it's not, by a long shot.
BY FAR my favourite vocal analyst. I absolutely LOVE your energy and your, well, analysis.. of course! On a total binge of your videos right now and I'm LOVING it! SO happy I found your channel :)
@@jasonbodden8816 I think "Misery's not crime" has even more extreme vocal techniques but sadly there are not high quality live recordings. Here's one cellphone recording: ruclips.net/video/SNPesLFTnUg/видео.html
Wow, I've watched like a gazillion reactions to this nightwish video, but yours was SO on point. You've got incredible voice and musical talent. A true fairy.
Don’t be afraid to let the entire song play while you’re reacting to it. I promise you that the Nightwish fans will stay to the end no matter how long the video. Pls for our 👑
Wow I've been binge-watching your channel since last night and I'm OBSESSED! I never liked 'reaction' channels before but your reactions & analyses are so educational, fun, and intimate. I love how you analyze singers both technically and emotionally, you really understand their souls and the message they convey through their singing. Your comments make a lot of sense and your enthusiasm is such a joy to watch :) ALSO, your ability to demonstrate literally every technique and your command over your voice is so inspiring!
It's interesting how so many vocal coaches can analyze the same song and each one has a different focus on vocal techniques. It's makes me think that singing is amazingly complex.
I've seen tens, if not hundreds of these Ghost Love Score reactions. You are one of few that actually got me to subscribe. The way you analyze, the easy to understand, even for someone with zero education in the field, explanations, your clear passion for the subject. Keep doing what you're doing.
Hi there Mother, I am so happy that you are reviewing this song and band. This is one of my favorite videos. Floor is a Rock-Goddess. My favorite comment I have read is most singers sing what they can. Floor sings anything she wants to. My favorite part of this piece is the ending. Floor shows just how good she is. Amazing range and power. She is well trained. With tons of God given talent. Also she easy to look at. I want to thank you for this video. You do know what you are talking about. Floors mannerisms add to the performance. The hair flip and the hand movement. And the hey, hey. She gets the crowd involved. She is a showwoman master. Starting around 9:30 she builds it up to a peak. Bravo. Also the band is working their tails off. Awesome. Her breathing is perfect. No shoulder rise. Great stuff..... She is a super singer!
I've rarely had so much fun watching a reaction video. You are entirely a music geek, and I love it. Music is obviously your passion, and it's easy to see. I've been playin' for over 30 years, and it's so nice to view someone so viscerally attached to sound, melody, and harmony, and what it does to people who choose to listen.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt the best technical vocal reaction channel i've ever come across, this. And i've seen them all. You are fucking incredible, do not stop. Quit your day job.
Wow! This is the first time I've watched your channel. You're a gorgeous freak and this was a great reaction. I've seen the song in its entirety so many times, so it was great to see your vocal analysis. I could watch you all day long, so keep doing your thing, it's great to watch
I have watched a fair few reaction videos recently (mostly because of Dimash and Nightwish, and I find yours by far the best. You know absolutely loads, your charisma and personality are perfect for it, and you make them properly interesting to watch. :D
I only discovered Floor last year. Typing this as you start watching . This should be fun. The Nightwish army will be incoming! Lots of love on the way. Now waiting for you to hear the last notes.
The chick is THE BEST!!!!🔥😎🔥 Funny, informative and super knowledgeable. I can’t wait for more episodes and insights from ‘Her Fairy Highness’. I’m so excited she does vocal coaching too. I hear she’s amazing so going to check out some lessons. Keep it up FVM you are the best thing out there by a country mile! 🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️
Thanks again for a very informative reaction. I've never heard anyone going into as much detail about how Floor is creating her sounds or how she is setting up her vocal apparatus for the next onslaught. I can't wait to see how you review some of Marco's singing (the bassist). He also has an incredibly versatile, distinctive and powerful voice, which he uses with great skill and panache. I see Gabriel, the official herald for the Nightwish fanbase/army has already visited your comment section, so you are officially on the Nightwish army radar now. I am a recently-acquired Nightwish devotee, but I've noticed that, although the Nightwish fanbase are typically very polite, very understanding and very diplomatic, they are also one of the most passionate (some have been following this band for over twenty years), most partisan, most active and most numerous fanbases on the internet. If you are in favour, they can provide a huge amount of support for your channel, and if some are upset, they won't support you and can be quite critical. I'm not meaning to be threatening, as some commenters already appear to have been, just informative, because I really enjoy your videos and presentation style, and I would like to see you prosper (and analyse more music that I like, grovel, grovel, grovel) I can see that some commenters have already tried to provide 'constructive feedback' about Nightwish fanbase - reactor etiquette, some more politely than others. I just wanted to highlight how much many of the fanbase absolutely adore these songs (the Wacken, 2013, show is considered by many to be somewhat of a religious experience), and view any adulteration of their viewing experience as sacreligious. While most of the time the fanbase is extremely polite and understanding (I am always surprised at how polite and apologetic they can be) there are a few things, which trigger very high emotions, and one of them seems to be cutting up Tuomas' music (Tuomas is the keyboardist, founder, leader, main composer and songwriter and is held in great reverence by the fanbase). I'm sorry. I can't ever write a short post. It's obviously your channel, and you can do what you want with it, present things how you like and, from what I've seen so far, you are incredibly knowledgeable, incredibly perceptive and you explain complex phenomena in a very clear and elegant way. Your personality and style are also beautifully vibrant and entertaining. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos, but this one was brutally jarring for someone who has watched this song so many times and has it deeply embedded in their psyche. 'Ghost Love Score' is the oldest of "the Big Three" Nightwish standards, that are considered to be masterpieces by the fan base, and for a long time, was the grand finale of any Nightwish concert. As you probably already know, their music is typically a complex systematic build of thematic elements that are designed to evoke strong emotional experiences, which ebb and flow over carefully constructed timescales. Messing with the 'special sauce' is going to alienate a lot of viewers, who might otherwise have been strong supporters of your channel, and ignoring the established cultures within certain fanbases will draw hostility from the more parochial members of the groups. Due to the size and activity of the Nightwish fanbase, most reactors bow to subtle pressure and adopt their existing conventions, so they are generally used to getting what they want. It's not just the Nightwish fanbase who can become quite militant about reactor etiquette. Generally, from what I've seen, cutting the song is universally widely-criticised, and reactors who do so, seem to disappear. Rewinding slightly after a pause is also widely encouraged and applauded. Pausing during solos also draws flak. Even though you wish to focus on the vocals in any of these videos, many fans are fans because they are interested in the holistic experience, not just the vocals in isolation. Reaction videos are generally popular because watching the reactor's response triggers 'mirror' neurons in the viewer's brain, that in turn trigger the original emotional response they felt when they first encountered the same event, e.g., everyone wants to watch an unsuspecting reactor when Tatiana switches from her clean vocals to her growls in Jinjer's 'Pisces' (even better when the reactor is having a sip of tea at exactly that moment). If they don't get the response they were expecting, they don't trigger the mirror neurons, they don't get to relive the emotions of their first time experiencing that, and they don't get the dopamine release that makes them happy. "Bad reactor." The Nightwish fans (including me) generally expect the reactor to swoon over 'Ghost Love Score', talk about 'Pirates of the Carribean' during the epic intro, be mildly confused by the orchestral and choral interlude, have the obligatory 'Floorgasm' after her final belt, and finish in awe, with that epic build at the end of Floor's vocals, with Jukka's drums and Emppu's guitar. Mirror neurons triggered, familiar emotional response, dopamine and seratonin release, happiness and contentment. That's exactly what they usually get. You took all of those emotional events away from them. Not happy. What you said was amazing, but you cut out all of the sights on the bus tour. Sorry for the long comment. I just wanted to provide information so you could make informed decisions that might make your channel more successful, and I could get to see more of your videos ("being a freak once per week") for a long time to come. I follow a handful of reactors who all contribute different things to their analyses that I enjoy learning about, so I'm always trying to push the same music that I like onto all of them. Even though you are focussed on vocals for this channel, maybe it will be useful to know that most people are emotionally connected to the performance as a whole, not just the vocals. There's only so many times you can talk about the same vocal techniques. Of course, as I said, it's your channel and you may specifically want to focus on vocal technicalities, specifically for vocalists, but that's probably going to limit your exposure and following, and long-term viewers will get bored.
You're one of the best I've seen so far to explain singing techniques. Very simple to understand, yet you clearly know what you are talking about. Subscribing right now.
It's Oct '22 and I've come back to watch this yet one more time. I've watched everything you've posted since this vid and I have enjoyed every minute. Thank you so much!
Guess I watched over 15 reaction videos to this song now. There are some really great, professional, expressive, interesting reactions to this, but yours is also so much FUN to watch. Made me smile all the time. Lovely.
I haven't subscribed to anyone new/different in some time. I watched your reaction to Dimash, then a few of your other videos, but your reaction to Diana Ankudinova is what caused me to make the leap and subscribe. I really enjoy your reactions and analysis as they are very intuitive, informative, and geekily funny. ~Be Blessed
I really appreciate your focus on vocal technique. I've learned so much just from watching 2 videos so far and it's inspired me to resume practicing and experimenting with my voice to learn the ins and outs the way you present them. Others may want to see your reaction to the whole song, but personally I don't mind your strict focus on the vocals. There are plenty of other RUclipsrs who show their reaction to the whole song out there, but your focus enables you to deliver a lot more information and we learn a lot more that we wouldn't otherwise
We do love you Mother. This lady has amazing skills. I especially enjoy her work as the song approaches its ending. Plus the hair flips. And she uses her hands very well. They really pour it on near the finish. She is a vocal warrior! So good..... Thank you for this review.
I feel like "If youre felling a bit dirty but your hands are clean" is more than just throw away line. You look like a very sweet and proper girl but with a dark undertone. Its quite alluring.
Well now you gotta react to their first singer Tarja singing Phantom of the Opera with a bonus treat from another incredible vocalist from the band called Marco as he sings the Phantom's parts. Trust me you will fall in love with both of them instantly. To find the video simply search Nightwish Phantom of the Opera and the live performance will show up!
This video really stands out because you illustrate your points so well by actually singing the most interesting bits of the song so well. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. Brava.
your brilliant . just brilliant. i see major love from you tube in your future . your have the most knowledge of anyone ive ever seen yet. rock on. thanks from canada
For so to speak: Her joining Nightwish 10 months before this performance was a win-win. First she got her confidence back, and the challenges fitting her talent.. While they got a vocalist who was fitting all styles. Sad Marco left the band 6 weeks ago.
Been following Floor Jansen since 2002 when I discovered After Forever. She's been one of my favourite singers since then and she got elevated to my all time number one singer when she joined Nightwish, my number one band, and absolutely nailed all the songs. She's been a legend of power metal and symphonic metal for decades before the rest of the world knew her. She started out as a lead singer in progressive/power/symphonic metal band After Forever at only 16. And already then she had skills far beyond her age.
Just one thing. We want to enjoy the whole song with you. Especially Nightwish. Is there any other anti-copyright tool you could use other than cutting up the song into choice bits with sauce on the side? Perhaps reversing the video image, ie left is right and so on. Because this is a powerful song, especially at the end. You'd do well to just pause and describe and resume for Poet and the Pendulum, for instance. Just friendly advice.
You remind me of Moaning Myrtle's much cooler and prettier sister, (you know the one that won all the singing competitions and didn't die in the girls bathroom), and Im all here for it. Love it!
I always enjoy your reactions so much! Such fun and very informative as well. And, as a big Nightwish fan....double thanks for letting me enjoy their work again as if for the first time. Best wishes!
Please do more Nightwish reactions. Floor Jansen is perhaps one of the best vocalists of our time. There's so much for you to explore! I, for one, will literally watch hours and hours of you reacting to ANYTHING they've ever made. The band is on another level musically.
Amazing reaction/analysis,you really makes me understand more of those techniques that she used on this song ^--^ Please,react to the Poet and the Pendulum (Live at Wembley 2014 or 2015) it's incredible, it's powerful, beautiful, emotional and is able to make the roughest man fall to his knees and cry...
I've watched a lot of Ghost Love Score reactions. I'm a little over it, but I clicked on yours strictly because you're "The Fairy Voice Mother" Great name for a channel! Good luck!
I think you might be interested in checking out Floor Jansen singing with Simone Simon who is the lead singer for the band Epica, performing the song Sancta Terra. This piece is backed by a chorale group, backed by a symphony. Simone has some training as well. I think you'd be impressed as to how well they perform together.
Just found the channel on the Dimash SOS link and haven't listened to this one yet, but you'll thank yourself if you also discover Sohyang early on in these. Of all the vocal gods out there, she's just the top. Try "Arirang Alone" from Immortal Songs 2.
@@TheFairyVoiceMother There's actually a video called "When Vocal Coaches Got Emotionally slayed By Sohyang". Can actually watch the first 1 minute and 40 seconds without getting any spoilers and just see some reactions from them for an idea. She has a huge catalog of impressive songs now. Lara Fabian (a lot from the "From Lara with Love" concert) is another, that out of the big list of impressive folks you will get suggested, to just not miss. Dimash idolizes her.
Fun reaction, definitely love the enthusiasm and overall geeking out, as well as the very hands-on and practical technical comments. However I do wish you might in future just let the full song play out and react to the whole, even though your main focus is of course on the vocals. Trust me, the videos won't be too long for any of us who love music and want to see new people explore our favourite artists' work.
BUT she will have YT to deal with when she plays a video in full and uploads it that way. It's really a Catch-Twenty-Two between what the fans want and what the lawyers at the top of YT want. :P
@@jamescurfman3284 All reactors deal with that. If a reactor is actually making meaningful comments and not just playing the video without stopping it's pretty easy to dispute copyright because fair use does allow for use of music for criticism or commentary. With certain music, the record labels don't care if it's fair use and won't let it go regardless. However, Nuclear Blast is pretty good about always letting Nightwish reactions be viewed without penalty to the content creator even though it will still get a "claim". A "copyright claim" doesn't hurt the creator's channel, only a "copyright strike" will.
Love your excitement and vocal knowledge. Subscribed right away. The Nightwish Army has arrived. We don’t mind a longer video. To know Nightwish you must experience their compositions as a whole and get to know their amazing talent and cohesiveness.
I'd like to add Ayreon - Valley of the Queens to the pile of suggestions. Lovely singing from Floor, Anneke and Marcella. Also Epica - Sancta Terra (retrospective featuring Floor)
This song only shows a part of her ability. You can try I want my tears back and yours is a empty hope for her lower register/growls. Marco their bass player is also a very good singer.
I honestly loved this reaction and analysis 😍 I've seen, and heard, this video about a thousand times by now and am not bothered by a fabulous Fairy who knows what she's talking about, skipping the more instrumental parts of the song, to focus on the singing technique.
Wow, that was one of the best reactions I've ever seen to that song. Don't sell yourself short - you have a heck of a voice on you too! If you're looking for another ridiculously talented singer to geek out over, might I suggest Tatiana from the Ukranian metal band Jinjer. Most reactors start out with the song Pisces, but with you being as knowledgeable as you are about singing techniques I suspect you'd really enjoy her one take performance of Judgement & Punishment.
They also have a hell of a bass player. After doing Judgement & Punishment I'll tell you one or two example where he really shines. BTW: The mentioned video is here: ruclips.net/video/Q5rg_63Shqg/видео.html
Also check out their live performances. There's proof of this band's collective and individual talent. Especially Tatiana's. Listen to her live, and if you ever doubted her ability, then you will doubt her no longer.
I see a lot of fans disliked you skipping parts of the video in editing. I just wanted to say that I was quite happy to see someone do that for a change. I've heard the song so many times that I know what happens in the song and watch the reaction videos for... well... the reactions. :D It was nice for once to see someone skipping to the parts with interesting reactions.
Just because she cut the video up it doesn't mean she didn't "Appreciate the entire piece" She would have listened to the whole song, don't worry. I get that it's fun to see others react to your favourite parts of a song but this is a channel focused on the vocals, and this lady has given more insight into techniques and vocal delivery than any other channel I've seen. If you're disappointed by a vocal based channel only showing the vocal related parts of a song then I think (and this applies to all the overly obsessed nightwish fans out there), that maybe you need to find a few hobbies to enrich your lives :)
@@Zappaisgod4983 why mate, why get personal and imply i have no life - I have a full, rich, exhausting, stressful life - I just have an opinion that you don't share, about a very minor thing - calm down.
@@jimharris367 I can't argue with your reply. Note to self: Stop using social media after a few beers. I think I just enjoyed this breakdown so much that I was a bit disheartened to come to the comments and see multiple people complaining about the lack of a full reaction (like they haven't already watched dozens of them) It seemed to undermine the talent and detail that went into the video/reaction. I apologise for the personal comments I made and rather than delete or edit my comment, I'll leave it unaltered as an example of how not to act on the internet.
@@Zappaisgod4983 it's all cool bro, no worries, you're clearly a good guy and that's not so common these days - and it hadn't occurred to me that she probably did watch the whole thing, so fare point there bro 🤘
I can’t get enough of seeing someone hear/watch Floor and Nightwish for the 1st time. Edit: You know things are getting serious when you put on your glasses. 😁
You're cute fairy voice mother :) But more to the point, you've got the knowledge and you can sing. Nice reaction even though you cut up the song which is sort of sacrilege. From you I can take it.
Thanks for the reaction :) I love how knowledgeable you are! But one small thing... can I please recommend that you don't skip half the song next time... as a viewer, it's really kind of jarring, and makes for slightly uncomfortable viewing. Most people don't really like it, hence why you seem to have quite a few dislikes. I liked your video and clicked the button, but just for next time, if you could watch right through, that'd be cool :)
I mean... you've done Dimash... you've done Floor (do more Floor, btw ;-) ) so I guess to round out the "Reacter's Greatest Hits" you should do Tatiana. Jinjer - Pisces
hello darling ones. I just want you to know that I DID watch the whole thing whilst making this video (and once after too) and I fully appreciate the song and the instrumentalists. I'm a bass player too, so I especially enjoyed the bassist's performance as part of this beautifully arranged and performed through-composition.
Thing is, this channel is all about singing and vocal technique which is why I cut it up the way I did to 'cut to the chase'. I'm really sorry to disappoint those who don't enjoy this style of reaction/ analysis- and i'm so thrilled and grateful for the people who liked it!
Lots and lots of love, TFVM 💜
You're a sweetheart. And what you did makes sense, at least for me. Thanks and pretty please don't be a stranger :)
what happened to the intro ? fyi NW vids rarely ever get blocked for copyright
reactor tips : after a pause especially mid vocals please go back a bit before resuming for song continuity,your viewers will appreciate it :), I appreciate your expert analysis but unfortunately it seems like you did not have much respect for the music , the music giving context to the vocals is important,this song being the most reacted to song on YT with many reactors getting over 2.5 Million views and Nightwish having the largest and most passionate fan base on YT, Floor Jansen is a voice master and has been a vocal coach in between bands prior to NW, many & I mean very many highly respected and seasoned voice pros have reacted to this song and Floor's flawless technique but no one has ever done it by chopping up the song something NO ONE has ever done .
You do you! I prefer a reaction that adds something over the usual 'oh that is soooooooooooooo good'. Start was a bit jarring (some ways into the intro), but I got up to speed soon enough. Not a singer or musician at all, but LOVE the information you add. Big ++ from me!
@@Shoikan i agree
Everyone should have a "Fairy Voice Mother" in their lives. But finding one that is pitch perfect, educational, honest, engaging & off the cuff funny is an absolute treasure.
We don´t mind watching a 30 mins video with full song reaction, not just singing parts. Nightwish compositions are masterpieces that deserve proper recognition.
Her channel is just for the voice - it's not just for Nightwish fans. Imagine that.
@@MoMoMyPup10 Well to not show the whole song is just ridiculous. I can't tell you how many vocal coaches I've seen reacting to songs from all kinds of bands and not one has just shown the vocal parts. Nightwish has nothing to do with it!
@@eddiewinehosen6665 Well this one does. You'll get over it.
@@moxiethegamebunny937 Oh yeah, personnally I got over it. Won´t pay attention to "this one" any further though.
@@sloppys5962 I like Nightwish too, but to deny their songs can meander a bit is silly to me. She's focused on the vocals, not every ounce of the song. So it makes perfect sense that she wants to keep it short and sweet, there's only so much someone can do when they're sitting around and listening to something they aren't qualified to comment on.
Hello The Fairy Voice Mother ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar.. (Yes, we have a radar for Nightwish reactions, how cool is that?!..)
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air festival 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of a 82k audience.
Also a recent sad news - these days Marco Hietala, the bass player and male singer of the band, announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
As I saw you enjoyed this powerful performance of the band, together with the stellar vocals and charisma of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen. You absolutely understood what Floor did on that stage, thank you for taking the time to explainit to us! Hope you'll continue on this path.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory):

Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. I have nothing against previous singers, but I do not consider myself the most suitable person to give specific recommendations from their repertoires.
** I think it's your place, fans of previous Nightwish eras, to present to the reactors the best recommendations with Tarja Turunen and Anette Olzon, because you know and appreciate them directly. I encourage you to add the best recommendations in the comments. **
That being said, I will add here the message left the other days by an old fan of the band, @Fabrizio Gorla: " To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs. Just be fair and don’t make a comparison if you don’t want an open war in your comment section.

You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019 (TV show from Netherlands) here is a playlist made by Floor herself (start listen it in reverse order..): ruclips.net/p/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo

Then 4 weeks ago she added to the list a powerful cover of "Adagio" by Lara Fabian (!!!) - 315K views now..
Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.

Ah Gabriel, I love how your essay grows with each new reaction! Thanks for this classy note each time mate!
You’re incredible. Every time one of these singers does something insane, you geek out, and then just do it yourself lol. Blows me away. Would love to hear you sing full out!
Oh goodness you are so very lovely 🥺 thank you so much!!!! I’ll sing something on here soon hehe. Your support means the whole wide world 💜
@@TheFairyVoiceMother Of course! That’s for sharing your passion for singing with us!
This is my favourite song of all time. Have to say your overview of it is the best and most interesting I’ve seen, thanks for doing this song! Also you sound awesome singing the parts you did!
Agreed, I think The Fairy Voice Mother could sing GLS quite well indeed.
I agree!

Fairy Voice Mother is the Best fricking vocal coach on social media ……. She explains perfectly what singing is all about!!
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Floor and henk doing phantom of the opera is well worth it 👌
Every Floor performance on beste zangers is astronomical!
Yes, that would also be a good idea for a reaction and analysis video. By the way, Nightwish also made a cover of phantom of the opera. Never forget the vocal talent of Marko as well. He and Floor together are also awesome.
the End of an Era version is way more powerful!!
End of and era, cuz in that she could apreciate Marco its well
@@firstclaw1 The best ever Nightwish Phantom of the Opera duo is Tarja and Marko, that is absolutely undeniable. What is very sad is that the new "generation" of fans have completely forgotten how good was Tarja and think Floor is the best... it's not, by a long shot.
BY FAR my favourite vocal analyst. I absolutely LOVE your energy and your, well, analysis.. of course!
On a total binge of your videos right now and I'm LOVING it! SO happy I found your channel :)
If you want to hear the Floor’s versatility you must to hear “yours is an empty hope”
Nice video, loved your glasses ❣️
And also Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean
If she truly wants to hear Floor's versatility she should listen to her band ReVamp's second album, "Wildcard". Now THAT is a vocal eargasm!!!
@@jasonbodden8816 Couldn't agree more...it's a Floor de force (haha) from start to finish :)
@@jasonbodden8816 I think "Misery's not crime" has even more extreme vocal techniques but sadly there are not high quality live recordings. Here's one cellphone recording: ruclips.net/video/SNPesLFTnUg/видео.html
Wow, I've watched like a gazillion reactions to this nightwish video, but yours was SO on point. You've got incredible voice and musical talent. A true fairy.
Thank you so much 🥰
Don’t be afraid to let the entire song play while you’re reacting to it. I promise you that the Nightwish fans will stay to the end no matter how long the video. Pls for our 👑
neah man.. we`ll stay to the end.. then put it on repeat for 2 hours straight. :)
Wow I've been binge-watching your channel since last night and I'm OBSESSED! I never liked 'reaction' channels before but your reactions & analyses are so educational, fun, and intimate. I love how you analyze singers both technically and emotionally, you really understand their souls and the message they convey through their singing. Your comments make a lot of sense and your enthusiasm is such a joy to watch :) ALSO, your ability to demonstrate literally every technique and your command over your voice is so inspiring!
It's interesting how so many vocal coaches can analyze the same song and each one has a different focus on vocal techniques. It's makes me think that singing is amazingly complex.
I've seen tens, if not hundreds of these Ghost Love Score reactions. You are one of few that actually got me to subscribe. The way you analyze, the easy to understand, even for someone with zero education in the field, explanations, your clear passion for the subject.
Keep doing what you're doing.
The perfect continuation for this reaction would be to react to Epica - Sancta Terra Live Retrospect Show feat. Floor Jansen.
It's a must ;).
I loved your analysis btw.
That's a hell of a song with two hell of singers. I don't even know if that sentence makes sense in english but that's ok, you got the idea haha
@@guiluismelo I understood the sentiment. :)
Hi there Mother,
I am so happy that you are reviewing this song and band. This is one of my favorite videos. Floor is a Rock-Goddess. My favorite comment I have read is most singers sing what they can. Floor sings anything she wants to. My favorite part of this piece is the ending. Floor shows just how good she is. Amazing range and power. She is well trained. With tons of God given talent. Also she easy to look at. I want to thank you for this video. You do know what you are talking about. Floors mannerisms add to the performance. The hair flip and the hand movement. And the hey, hey. She gets the crowd involved. She is a showwoman master. Starting around 9:30 she builds it up to a peak. Bravo. Also the band is working their tails off. Awesome. Her breathing is perfect. No shoulder rise. Great stuff..... She is a super singer!
I've rarely had so much fun watching a reaction video. You are entirely a music geek, and I love it. Music is obviously your passion, and it's easy to see. I've been playin' for over 30 years, and it's so nice to view someone so viscerally attached to sound, melody, and harmony, and what it does to people who choose to listen.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt the best technical vocal reaction channel i've ever come across, this. And i've seen them all. You are fucking incredible, do not stop. Quit your day job.
Wow! This is the first time I've watched your channel. You're a gorgeous freak and this was a great reaction. I've seen the song in its entirety so many times, so it was great to see your vocal analysis. I could watch you all day long, so keep doing your thing, it's great to watch
We are here...we are everywhere...Nightwish Army
I have watched a fair few reaction videos recently (mostly because of Dimash and Nightwish, and I find yours by far the best. You know absolutely loads, your charisma and personality are perfect for it, and you make them properly interesting to watch. :D
I absolutely love this song and really enjoyed your breakdown of it! Thanks for sharing. 😊
I only discovered Floor last year. Typing this as you start watching . This should be fun. The Nightwish army will be incoming! Lots of love on the way. Now waiting for you to hear the last notes.
Really nice analysis, one of the better ones I have seen up to now. ❤
Came for the goddess, stayed for the fairy ❤
The chick is THE BEST!!!!🔥😎🔥 Funny, informative and super knowledgeable. I can’t wait for more episodes and insights from ‘Her Fairy Highness’. I’m so excited she does vocal coaching too. I hear she’s amazing so going to check out some lessons. Keep it up FVM you are the best thing out there by a country mile! 🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️
Thanks again for a very informative reaction. I've never heard anyone going into as much detail about how Floor is creating her sounds or how she is setting up her vocal apparatus for the next onslaught. I can't wait to see how you review some of Marco's singing (the bassist). He also has an incredibly versatile, distinctive and powerful voice, which he uses with great skill and panache.
I see Gabriel, the official herald for the Nightwish fanbase/army has already visited your comment section, so you are officially on the Nightwish army radar now. I am a recently-acquired Nightwish devotee, but I've noticed that, although the Nightwish fanbase are typically very polite, very understanding and very diplomatic, they are also one of the most passionate (some have been following this band for over twenty years), most partisan, most active and most numerous fanbases on the internet. If you are in favour, they can provide a huge amount of support for your channel, and if some are upset, they won't support you and can be quite critical. I'm not meaning to be threatening, as some commenters already appear to have been, just informative, because I really enjoy your videos and presentation style, and I would like to see you prosper (and analyse more music that I like, grovel, grovel, grovel)
I can see that some commenters have already tried to provide 'constructive feedback' about Nightwish fanbase - reactor etiquette, some more politely than others. I just wanted to highlight how much many of the fanbase absolutely adore these songs (the Wacken, 2013, show is considered by many to be somewhat of a religious experience), and view any adulteration of their viewing experience as sacreligious. While most of the time the fanbase is extremely polite and understanding (I am always surprised at how polite and apologetic they can be) there are a few things, which trigger very high emotions, and one of them seems to be cutting up Tuomas' music (Tuomas is the keyboardist, founder, leader, main composer and songwriter and is held in great reverence by the fanbase).
I'm sorry. I can't ever write a short post. It's obviously your channel, and you can do what you want with it, present things how you like and, from what I've seen so far, you are incredibly knowledgeable, incredibly perceptive and you explain complex phenomena in a very clear and elegant way. Your personality and style are also beautifully vibrant and entertaining. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos, but this one was brutally jarring for someone who has watched this song so many times and has it deeply embedded in their psyche.
'Ghost Love Score' is the oldest of "the Big Three" Nightwish standards, that are considered to be masterpieces by the fan base, and for a long time, was the grand finale of any Nightwish concert. As you probably already know, their music is typically a complex systematic build of thematic elements that are designed to evoke strong emotional experiences, which ebb and flow over carefully constructed timescales. Messing with the 'special sauce' is going to alienate a lot of viewers, who might otherwise have been strong supporters of your channel, and ignoring the established cultures within certain fanbases will draw hostility from the more parochial members of the groups. Due to the size and activity of the Nightwish fanbase, most reactors bow to subtle pressure and adopt their existing conventions, so they are generally used to getting what they want.
It's not just the Nightwish fanbase who can become quite militant about reactor etiquette. Generally, from what I've seen, cutting the song is universally widely-criticised, and reactors who do so, seem to disappear. Rewinding slightly after a pause is also widely encouraged and applauded. Pausing during solos also draws flak. Even though you wish to focus on the vocals in any of these videos, many fans are fans because they are interested in the holistic experience, not just the vocals in isolation.
Reaction videos are generally popular because watching the reactor's response triggers 'mirror' neurons in the viewer's brain, that in turn trigger the original emotional response they felt when they first encountered the same event, e.g., everyone wants to watch an unsuspecting reactor when Tatiana switches from her clean vocals to her growls in Jinjer's 'Pisces' (even better when the reactor is having a sip of tea at exactly that moment). If they don't get the response they were expecting, they don't trigger the mirror neurons, they don't get to relive the emotions of their first time experiencing that, and they don't get the dopamine release that makes them happy. "Bad reactor."
The Nightwish fans (including me) generally expect the reactor to swoon over 'Ghost Love Score', talk about 'Pirates of the Carribean' during the epic intro, be mildly confused by the orchestral and choral interlude, have the obligatory 'Floorgasm' after her final belt, and finish in awe, with that epic build at the end of Floor's vocals, with Jukka's drums and Emppu's guitar. Mirror neurons triggered, familiar emotional response, dopamine and seratonin release, happiness and contentment. That's exactly what they usually get. You took all of those emotional events away from them. Not happy. What you said was amazing, but you cut out all of the sights on the bus tour.
Sorry for the long comment. I just wanted to provide information so you could make informed decisions that might make your channel more successful, and I could get to see more of your videos ("being a freak once per week") for a long time to come. I follow a handful of reactors who all contribute different things to their analyses that I enjoy learning about, so I'm always trying to push the same music that I like onto all of them. Even though you are focussed on vocals for this channel, maybe it will be useful to know that most people are emotionally connected to the performance as a whole, not just the vocals. There's only so many times you can talk about the same vocal techniques. Of course, as I said, it's your channel and you may specifically want to focus on vocal technicalities, specifically for vocalists, but that's probably going to limit your exposure and following, and long-term viewers will get bored.
You're one of the best I've seen so far to explain singing techniques. Very simple to understand, yet you clearly know what you are talking about. Subscribing right now.
For her singing opera try O Mio Babbino Caro, or a heavy version of Vilja Lied on Beste Zangers
Don't forget about "Phantom of the Opera"!😁👍🏻

I learn so much with your educated explanations! Thank you for your videos!
What happened to you right around 11:10 is commonly referred to as a "Floorgasm", that's what made your nose run.
I just came across your video. Love listening to your voice. Great reaction to Floor's performance. I'm a new fan.
I really appreciate your focus on vocal technique. I've learned so much just from watching 2 videos so far and it's inspired me to resume practicing and experimenting with my voice to learn the ins and outs the way you present them. Others may want to see your reaction to the whole song, but personally I don't mind your strict focus on the vocals. There are plenty of other RUclipsrs who show their reaction to the whole song out there, but your focus enables you to deliver a lot more information and we learn a lot more that we wouldn't otherwise
Fantastic the way you show how the sounds are produced!
You really really know your shit. Ive learned more here than through the years
We do love you Mother. This lady has amazing skills. I especially enjoy her work as the song approaches its ending. Plus the hair flips. And she uses her hands very well. They really pour it on near the finish. She is a vocal warrior! So good..... Thank you for this review.
I feel like "If youre felling a bit dirty but your hands are clean" is more than just throw away line.
You look like a very sweet and proper girl but with a dark undertone.
Its quite alluring.
Mother,
We are the lucky ones. Floor is unreal in how skilled she is. I am so glad you like her so much....
Well now you gotta react to their first singer Tarja singing Phantom of the Opera with a bonus treat from another incredible vocalist from the band called Marco as he sings the Phantom's parts. Trust me you will fall in love with both of them instantly. To find the video simply search Nightwish Phantom of the Opera and the live performance will show up!
This video really stands out because you illustrate your points so well by actually singing the most interesting bits of the song so well. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. Brava.
You're amazing !!! Xo
love you, you're amazing x
your brilliant . just brilliant. i see major love from you tube in your future . your have the most knowledge of anyone ive ever seen yet. rock on. thanks from canada
For so to speak:
Her joining Nightwish 10 months before this performance was a win-win.
First she got her confidence back, and the challenges fitting her talent..
While they got a vocalist who was fitting all styles.
Sad Marco left the band 6 weeks ago.
you are such a breath of fresh air
She's got many more lanes... If you continue your NW journey, you will see her follow all of them.
She owns the highway and the journey.
Been following Floor Jansen since 2002 when I discovered After Forever. She's been one of my favourite singers since then and she got elevated to my all time number one singer when she joined Nightwish, my number one band, and absolutely nailed all the songs. She's been a legend of power metal and symphonic metal for decades before the rest of the world knew her. She started out as a lead singer in progressive/power/symphonic metal band After Forever at only 16. And already then she had skills far beyond her age.
Just one thing. We want to enjoy the whole song with you. Especially Nightwish. Is there any other anti-copyright tool you could use other than cutting up the song into choice bits with sauce on the side?
Perhaps reversing the video image, ie left is right and so on. Because this is a powerful song, especially at the end. You'd do well to just pause and describe and resume for Poet and the Pendulum, for instance.
Just friendly advice.
She’s a vocal coach analyzing vocals. If you want the whole piece go listen to the album.
Im ok with that edition knowing that at least she fully heard it on her end.
@@wishmaster0390 if that is true then I'll be ok with it too.
I hope you make more Floor Jansen videos. Please do and viewers will fallow.
You remind me of Moaning Myrtle's much cooler and prettier sister, (you know the one that won all the singing competitions and didn't die in the girls bathroom), and Im all here for it. Love it!
Loved your reaction and your eye shadow! 😄 NEED!!!!
to be honest, if floor jansen is asked what her voice range is, she can just say : yes...
I always enjoy your reactions so much! Such fun and very informative as well. And, as a big Nightwish fan....double thanks for letting me enjoy their work again as if for the first time. Best wishes!
Check out her performances on Beste Zingers...everything from Opera, musical theatre, pop, and spanish.
Please do more Nightwish reactions. Floor Jansen is perhaps one of the best vocalists of our time. There's so much for you to explore! I, for one, will literally watch hours and hours of you reacting to ANYTHING they've ever made. The band is on another level musically.
There's something "Harley Quinn" over you. ;) Great reaction, liked and subbed. Looking forward to more. Cheers from Sweden!
Rock on, sistah 🤘 Welcome to Nightwish and Floor!
Amazing reaction/analysis,you really makes me understand more of those techniques that she used on this song ^--^
Please,react to the Poet and the Pendulum (Live at Wembley 2014 or 2015) it's incredible, it's powerful, beautiful, emotional and is able to make the roughest man fall to his knees and cry...
I've watched a lot of Ghost Love Score reactions. I'm a little over it, but I clicked on yours strictly because you're "The Fairy Voice Mother" Great name for a channel! Good luck!
I think you might be interested in checking out Floor Jansen singing with Simone Simon who is the lead singer for the band Epica, performing the song Sancta Terra. This piece is backed by a chorale group, backed by a symphony. Simone has some training as well. I think you'd be impressed as to how well they perform together.
As a vocal coach, she'd likely enjoy Stabat Mater from the same concert. Still Simone & Floor, but man do they bring it to an actual classical piece.
Best singers Coach review I've seen so far on this video! You zoomed in on the true features of this performance You're doing a fine job!
Just found the channel on the Dimash SOS link and haven't listened to this one yet, but you'll thank yourself if you also discover Sohyang early on in these. Of all the vocal gods out there, she's just the top. Try "Arirang Alone" from Immortal Songs 2.
you betcha, she's officially at the top of my list xo
@@TheFairyVoiceMother There's actually a video called "When Vocal Coaches Got Emotionally slayed By Sohyang". Can actually watch the first 1 minute and 40 seconds without getting any spoilers and just see some reactions from them for an idea. She has a huge catalog of impressive songs now. Lara Fabian (a lot from the "From Lara with Love" concert) is another, that out of the big list of impressive folks you will get suggested, to just not miss. Dimash idolizes her.
Seconding Sohyang after more Floor!
What a stellar analysis, thank you!
You should react all of these singers... Simone Simons, Charlotte Wessels, Sharon del Aden, Tommy Karevik
little correction: Sharon den Adel 😉 and let's not forget the woman who was Floor's inspiration ...... Anneke van Giersbergen.
@@MisterJ56 Yes, Anneke! Her new album is out ❤️
I don't know if anyone noticed but..the way you edit your videos is mind blowing...down to the millimeter on track...Very well done..🙂👍
Fun reaction, definitely love the enthusiasm and overall geeking out, as well as the very hands-on and practical technical comments. However I do wish you might in future just let the full song play out and react to the whole, even though your main focus is of course on the vocals.
Trust me, the videos won't be too long for any of us who love music and want to see new people explore our favourite artists' work.
BUT she will have YT to deal with when she plays a video in full and uploads it that way. It's really a Catch-Twenty-Two between what the fans want and what the lawyers at the top of YT want. :P
@@jamescurfman3284 All reactors deal with that. If a reactor is actually making meaningful comments and not just playing the video without stopping it's pretty easy to dispute copyright because fair use does allow for use of music for criticism or commentary. With certain music, the record labels don't care if it's fair use and won't let it go regardless. However, Nuclear Blast is pretty good about always letting Nightwish reactions be viewed without penalty to the content creator even though it will still get a "claim". A "copyright claim" doesn't hurt the creator's channel, only a "copyright strike" will.
Love your excitement and vocal knowledge. Subscribed right away. The Nightwish Army has arrived. We don’t mind a longer video. To know Nightwish you must experience their compositions as a whole and get to know their amazing talent and cohesiveness.
I'd like to add Ayreon - Valley of the Queens to the pile of suggestions. Lovely singing from Floor, Anneke and Marcella.
Also Epica - Sancta Terra (retrospective featuring Floor)
I never knew her “hey!”s for the audience would prepare her for her belting! Dang! That’s such cool knowledge
This song only shows a part of her ability. You can try I want my tears back and yours is a empty hope for her lower register/growls. Marco their bass player is also a very good singer.
Awesome. Love your explanations and examples of vocal techniques and styles.
Thank you so so much 💜
Made my nose run and no one’s ever had that effect on me before
I honestly loved this reaction and analysis 😍 I've seen, and heard, this video about a thousand times by now and am not bothered by a fabulous Fairy who knows what she's talking about, skipping the more instrumental parts of the song, to focus on the singing technique.
Wow, that was one of the best reactions I've ever seen to that song. Don't sell yourself short - you have a heck of a voice on you too!
If you're looking for another ridiculously talented singer to geek out over, might I suggest Tatiana from the Ukranian metal band Jinjer. Most reactors start out with the song Pisces, but with you being as knowledgeable as you are about singing techniques I suspect you'd really enjoy her one take performance of Judgement & Punishment.
They also have a hell of a bass player. After doing Judgement & Punishment I'll tell you one or two example where he really shines. BTW: The mentioned video is here: ruclips.net/video/Q5rg_63Shqg/видео.html
I second this!
Also check out their live performances. There's proof of this band's collective and individual talent.
Especially Tatiana's. Listen to her live, and if you ever doubted her ability, then you will doubt her no longer.
This was her first time out with the band. Amazing
React to Floor's cover of Shallow from the show Bestes Zangers. It is incredible.
Had to watch this again!!! Loved your reaction!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Damn your good! It´s obvious you really know your stuff. Great reaction. And of course, Floor is a goddess!
I see a lot of fans disliked you skipping parts of the video in editing. I just wanted to say that I was quite happy to see someone do that for a change. I've heard the song so many times that I know what happens in the song and watch the reaction videos for... well... the reactions. :D It was nice for once to see someone skipping to the parts with interesting reactions.
Oh, you cut the piece up rather than appreciating the entire piece - that's a shame but glad you enjoyed it anyway!
Just because she cut the video up it doesn't mean she didn't "Appreciate the entire piece" She would have listened to the whole song, don't worry. I get that it's fun to see others react to your favourite parts of a song but this is a channel focused on the vocals, and this lady has given more insight into techniques and vocal delivery than any other channel I've seen. If you're disappointed by a vocal based channel only showing the vocal related parts of a song then I think (and this applies to all the overly obsessed nightwish fans out there), that maybe you need to find a few hobbies to enrich your lives :)
@@Zappaisgod4983 why mate, why get personal and imply i have no life - I have a full, rich, exhausting, stressful life - I just have an opinion that you don't share, about a very minor thing - calm down.
@@jimharris367 I can't argue with your reply. Note to self: Stop using social media after a few beers. I think I just enjoyed this breakdown so much that I was a bit disheartened to come to the comments and see multiple people complaining about the lack of a full reaction (like they haven't already watched dozens of them) It seemed to undermine the talent and detail that went into the video/reaction. I apologise for the personal comments I made and rather than delete or edit my comment, I'll leave it unaltered as an example of how not to act on the internet.
@@Zappaisgod4983 it's all cool bro, no worries, you're clearly a good guy and that's not so common these days - and it hadn't occurred to me that she probably did watch the whole thing, so fare point there bro 🤘
I can’t get enough of seeing someone hear/watch Floor and Nightwish for the 1st time.
Edit: You know things are getting serious when you put on your glasses. 😁
You're cute fairy voice mother :) But more to the point, you've got the knowledge and you can sing. Nice reaction even though you cut up the song which is sort of sacrilege. From you I can take it.
Another great breakdown,as always great tips and advice
You need to do Chris Stapleton Tennessee whiskey
You got Floored. Great vocal range, great (relative?) pitch, great theatrical sense - and great music/singing education. It all adds up.
Thanks for the reaction :) I love how knowledgeable you are! But one small thing... can I please recommend that you don't skip half the song next time... as a viewer, it's really kind of jarring, and makes for slightly uncomfortable viewing. Most people don't really like it, hence why you seem to have quite a few dislikes. I liked your video and clicked the button, but just for next time, if you could watch right through, that'd be cool :)
Great lesson from TFVM !! Great Teacher too !! and Floor, OMG !!
I mean... you've done Dimash... you've done Floor (do more Floor, btw ;-) ) so I guess to round out the "Reacter's Greatest Hits" you should do Tatiana. Jinjer - Pisces
The divine godess of all time
