Agreed. This is lovely. The original Tarja version is very good but her voice is a bit piercing on the high notes. This is absolutely gorgeous, especially on the high notes
tarja fans, floor does not always go operatic simply because she was not hired by tuomass to replicate tarja's vocals. She goes operatic when the song absolutely calls for it or when wants to put her own twist to a song. (examples stargazers, kinslayer). The versatility she brings to the band should honestly be more appreciated. In documentary, floor stated that Sleeping Sun was one her favorites and she has been pushing to perform it live.
Muy cierto pero esos fanáticos no son seguidores de Nightwish sino de Tarja. Ahora ellos que me digan que exito a cosechado Turunen en solitario y porque en sus conciertos toca temas de Nightwish al contrario de Annette Olzon que prometio nunca mas cantar temas de Nightwish y cumple su promesa. Hay dejo eso...
@@retornodelsilencio9420 Totalmente de acuerdo. Que cante temas de Nightwish no es un problema para mí (hablo de Annette), pero hay que reconocer que Floor supera con creces a Tarja y por supuesto a Annette. Ahora, yo le reconozco su talento a Tarja, también tiene una presencia en el escenario, muy poderosa, pero sin duda por ella sola, sin las composiciones de Tuomas, el nivel ha bajado mucho y se nota. Un grupo es un equipo, cantar bien no es suficiente, la música es muy importante, el resto debe seguir tras el canto. Las melodías, el crescendo, etc. Es un conjunto.
I was a singer/songwriter for many years, and can tell you factually that Sleeping Sun is an extremely difficult song to sing. The cadence, the pitch, the delivery and the emotion have to all come together using tremendous vocal control. Floor absolutely nails this. Love her.
Wow...I never thought anyone could come close to Tarja singing this song, but Floor nailed it in this performance. This was a song I always played for my late wife, Anne. One more for you, my love. Listen in the Great Mystery.
Plenty of them. I can list a lot of them just by listening to how she butcher the Tarja era songs with her own belting and tone changes (which messes up the songs) to trying to "improve" the Anette era songs with her own "takes", which falls flat for the most part. So no thank you.
As a music student myself I can assure you that our so called experience means absolutely nothing when it comes to personal taste, even professionals state their opinions based on their personal taste and that's 100% valid. I can say that I think Tarja's deep and dark voice fits a lot better to the ancient atmosphere of the original song, but that's MY personal taste which is not going to change just because some RUclipsr who's also a vocal coach doesn't share my opinion. And I don't think it's fair for anyone to diminish anyone's work in order to make the other look better as most people will keep doing for a long as Nightwish exists.
I’ve watched this more times than I can count, and I’ve never thought to leave a comment before, but I just wanted to say that this performance has been a comfort to me for about four years now. I know you’ll never see this but I hope you know just how many hearts you’ve touched with your voice. Thank you, genuinely.
Got to know Nightwish this year (2022) and god what have I been missing? Hearing the live version makes me perfectly understand why there are so many Floor lovers.
There also was Dutch television, the tv program "Klasgenoten" (Classmates) at the concert. Floor met her classmates from The Rock Academy again. When she watched the interview with her parents at the show, she was crying, really moved by the love and pride of her parents. They talked about Floor having a burn-out when her band After Forever stopped. She was just recovering when Nightwish called her if she could fill in for Anette. It was like a dream coming true for Floor, and well, the rest is history.
I'm from the Netherlands and never heard of her until she joined a Dutch progam. (search for 'beste zangers' and watch Floor singing different types of songs). How on earth did I not know our best artist? She is AMAZING. ❤️
Same here...never heard of Floor or Nightwish. But did some research and I am embarrassed to say that somewhere along the way I must have seen Floor with After Forever at Dauwpop as well as Appelpop but didn't notice it 😱 probably thought it was just a lot of noise and screaming, being a soul-fan. But...after her performance at "beste zangers" I can honestly say she is truly amazing! She won me over....big time! Chapeau, Floor!
Leuk dat je door het programma in aanraking bent gekomen met de muziek van Nightwish. Ik vind het een verfrissend concept, omdat ik door het programma ook meer (h)erkenning heb gekregen voor Nederlandse artiesten waar ik doorgaans niet naar luister :).
Anne Sophie dit Nr was het eerste Nr wat ik van dr hoorde en was meteen verkocht ❤️ en nu ze eindelijk bekend is in Nederland vind ik echt geweldig voor Floor maar zeker ook voor Nightwish zulke mooie nrs hebben ze 😍net als Élan ook zo,n geweldig Nr en Floor is echt de beste zangeres ter wereld ........ vind ik tenminste
When Tarja left I simply refused to listen to new Nightwish stuff. Until this week when I gave myself the chance to see Floor. So many wasted years... Have to catch up.
@@abstracting6411 You can be fan of Tarja and totally understand, see and hear how good Floor is , also Nightwish is a metal band because of Tarja, it had to be acoustic band in the beginning but they decided to do metal to support Tarjas bigger voice , also Tarja was the reason why soo many of us started to listen Nightwish in the first place, I have never been big fan of lineup changes, for me the bestb bands are the ones without any lineup changes, its totally normal to miss Tarja sometimes, she had also very magical stage presence and amazing operatic style of singing , its normal that many people feel sentimental
All three singers are amazing. But perfomance wise, floor is by far number 1. Her Perfect picth and stage presence are just wow. She tells story while singing.
77Years on my back but i gona tell you i feel centuries younger after listen to this wonderfull und piece music. thank you for ever Peter from Switzerland
When I watch this, I can´t help but think Floor has the best voice this world has ever heard. I´m sure there are vocalists with bigger ranges etc. but I´m talking about how beautiful her voice is. It is literally perfect and moves me every time I hear her. It doesn´t matter if it´s soft or heavy, spanish,dutch or english. Growling, belting or operatic. She is the definition of beauty in this world. She is divine and so down to earth at the same time. So grateful I clicked on Ghost love score at Wacken 2013. It was a real inflection point in my life. I just feel grateful and happy each day now.
@@MikkoRantalainen Thanks Mikko, I absolutely love Tarja too. Over the past year and 4 months since discovering Nightwish I have literally listened to Nightwish several hours everyday. I took a trip to Kitee and met Tuomas Holopainen and I told him how grateful I was that he changed my life with his music. Every single song and performance of Nightwish in the +25yr history is pure gold to me.
I just can't stop listening to this... Even my wife who doesn't like this kind of... musical perfection says Floor has one the best female voices ever.
After listening to all Nightwish tunes - I feel Floor has so much of a broader range and complete mastery of her voice - she gives me goosebumps when she nails those notes!
59 and a lifelong musician. I only discovered Nightwish ( ala Floor) in the last year. Simply stunned, moved and inspired. I’d forgotten how songs can produce emotions and chills! Love it!!!!! I’ve heard both Iterations by Floor and the original vocalist. I really like both. Quite different. But MAN, Floor can belt notes magnificently!!
'The original vocalist'? Talk about being damned by faint praise. Yes, she got to be too big for her boots but like it or not, without the 'original vocalist' Nightwish would either be history, or playing small clubs today.
I never heard of Floor Jansen before I saw a program on Dutch TV where Floor was singing different kinds of songs. I am 52 years old and how it is possible that I never heard of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. Woooooow. They are so incredible. Floor is really AMAZING.
Her English is a bit more fluent which accentuates the words much better than Tarja’s original since her English was as clear back then. I met her last year and it’s gotten much standard.
I think we're a new breed of fans. This is when grandparents are full fledge rockers. I'm 57 and I love Nightwish like mad. First heard of them in 2006 but only last year did I really really get into them. Love all three singers!
I have the bravery to say it, FLOOR IS THE BEST SINGER that nightwish has seen. She is the swiss army knife of singers, she can sing so many different styles, and does it with perfection. Hate all you want, i dont care, IMO she is the the PERFECT singer for this excellent band and its genius composer.
She is the best,but for me tarja is nightwish..if u follow from first u will understand what i mean..its like terja is nightwish, ghost of nightwish..listen to tarja u ll know that is nightwish..
@@hafizsulaiman4014tarja got fired in 2005. That’s almost 20 years! At some point you have to let it go! I feel bad for you that you are still on here talking about it.
I’ll speak for myself. I’ve never felt so many emotions before listening to nightwish with Floor. I’ve seen them live twice with Floor, and all I could do was contemplate. It was like looking to a painting or a movie. In awe
@@hafizsulaiman4014 I started listening to NIghtwish in 2006 when I was just a lil girl. I loved Anette and I loved Tarja. Especially Ghost love score and Ever dream (Tarjas version). Then I stopped listening for a while, in 2013 I learned Anette was no longer in Nightwish and I was disappointed so I didn't listen to NW for a while. Then I heard a song with Floor. I've loved her ever since. Much more than Tarja or Anette. She's absolutely incredible. I'm not saying the previous singers are bad, not at all, but Floor is just a different league IMO. Tuomas couldn't have chosen a better singer. So yes, even people who've known Nightwish for ages like and, I dare to say, prefer Floor. It's been nearly two decades since Tarja has been gone. get over it. It's time to move on. If you want to listen to her music she has a successful solo career you can follow.
When she sings I feel like a little forest animal who has been enchanted by a singing magical princess and has no other option but to listen and stare at her in complete awe...
@@amitygames9318 BOTH sing this song beautifully. I personally prefer Floor, but I also like and enjoy Tarja in other songs. Why choose one when you can choose both? That's a thing I will never understand about diehard fanboys.
She is Dutch, but back in the viking days a large part of the Netherlands was Frisia (the coastline up to the south west of Denmark) Frisians trade with the vikings and even some of them went on board for their raides. I have to be carefull with this historical stuff because the rest of scandinavia are gonna use this LOL (If she have some Frisian blood, she is our sister)
Nightwish is a national treasure for Finland and a tourist asset to Europe. I just discovered them days ago, and already I plan to travel to Europe to see a 1-3 live shows. I want to be part of the crowd that really loves Nightwish, and the European live videos seem to show that should be in Europe. Of course, I'll also see them if they come to my area.
The thing is you can't compare Tarja and Floor's takes on this song, as they approached them from different directions. Floor went with a moodier 'rock' sound that was haunting and enveloping. Tarja's take on it was a soulful power ballad that hit you like a truck, in a good way. Each brought their skills and both did a fantastic performance. Go NW!
She does make them her own certainly Sleeping Sun is the only song i have trouble with decideing i love them both By a very very slim margin i have to give it to Tarja
My mother passed away unexpectedly. She just died out of nowhere in the street in the winter. She was the sun in our lives. For how I wish to go down with the sun. It’s been five years now. I don’t want to go on. She was the sun in our lives and now everyday is a battle against darkness. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home
I thought I was immune but no - I have goosebumps and started to cry. This song has always been one of my favourite, and the live versions are so impressive. Both Tarja and Floor make tear up, and I won't have it any other way.
I can listen this song in Floor's performance "upon the centuries"!!! I am 49 old man and feelings overflow me up to the weeping each time when she sings it! Thanks Floor! You are the best. You are LADY!!!
witam tu wiednąca 50 latkka przy tej piosence rozkwitam na nowo i czuje sie młodo tak jak przy utworze miłośc zwyćieża wszystko .deep purple i polecam posłuchac tez kiedy prawda boli axela rudi peela z jugosławi piosenki z zycia wziete pozdrawiam
Heaven sounds like this. Floors voice is the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. I'm a life long musician and know talent when I hear it. Floor has it in spaids.
Who sings this song better, Tarja or Floor? The answer is yes. Also yes this is a different drummer. How can one choose between Tarja and Floor. They are both beautiful women with incredible voices. Just enjoy. Dont bother to compare. It defeats the feeling of the song.
I'm not very familiar with this band, but there doesn't seem to be a downside to who is singing. I do adore Tarja in Nemo and Floor (I presume?) in Story time.
Nightwish didn't die when Tarja left. That's ridiculous. Floor is a very good singer, but Tarja was just stupendous. The power, tone and accuracy of her singing was breathtaking, but she's gone. No point looking back. As for beauty: sorry, but tattoos and piercings are a complete turn off for me, so Tarja wins that too.
Welcome to the Nightwish fan group. We have 20 years of music full of passion and great concerts....and a group of whiners, who miss the singer, who was kicked out 13 years ago for being a selfish diva. Ignore them, or they will make your head hurt. Tuomas has a wonderful gift of writing beautiful music, which is still worth listening to 20 years later. There's a lot for you to explore, so take your time. Floor has only been with them since 2013, but if you go to concerts, you can see her in all her glory....and she is just as awesome as here.
Nightwish in this incarnation is what I’ve dreamt of since the eighties. I discovered them with Dark Passion Play, But Floor transcends all my expectations. Between my childhood heroes conquering the big screen and the music I always wished to hear being made in the here and now, I can almost forget how screwed up my country is right now. Thank you all SO much for bringing this magic into my life. Nightwish is my number 1 favorite band, bar none. Alpenglow makes me cheer and this song makes me cry. What more can I ask for but raw emotion evoked by your music. I can’t say I’m your number 1 fan. That would be... hyperbolic. But literally the only thing stopping me from begging, borrowing, or stealing enough money for a ticket to your next show in Seattle is my body isn’t up to even the trip north, much less the press of my fellow fans. Just do me and everyone else a favor. Just keep putting out live performance reels and I’ll keep buying them and trying to hook every potential fan I can find.
Tarja's voice has a more magical sound as if it's from a Fairytale. Floor more rock sounding. Both singers are incredible !! Just enjoy what Floor is able to bring to Nightwish.
Floor has... the X-Factor somehow. Tarja's version is very much in an opera style, Floor is indeed more in a rock style but especially very much her own style. There's a sense of mystery in Floor's voice that I appreciate very much.
Floor adds emotions like no one ever did. I love Tarja but when Floor replaced vocal style in last chorus with that belting I felt that in my bones. It was somehow more sad more like begging for help.
I love it when artists only use half of their potential. It leaves a very large pool of skill to craft every little detail not only to superhuman perfection but to put it beyond that, back to human, back to relatable, back to personal. When Floor sings, I do not only hear a great singer, she makes it sound as if the innermost part of my soul is singing. And I know that many other people feel the same way. This way she connects us to people we have never met.
Andre; I got you all beat I'm 75 Nightwish just bumped Rammstien down to my second favorite metal band, just discovered them in January of 18,took a while to get the different front women figured out, Tarja and Annette were both good but I've never heard any one even come close to Floor her voice quality and range are unbelievable one hell of a fantastic band, hope they out last me!
This was one of the songs I thought Floor could struggle to sing. It seemed so perfect with Tarja... But then I heard Floor singing it and she made me see how she's even better than I think. She took this song and made it even more perfect, as if it was possible. She is not only the best singer NW ever had, she's one of the best ever
hello tarja holic ..floor is perfect match for NW . listen to ratina station for wishmaster ...it was all above earth. this kind of live presentation tarja did never . floor operatic touch with wideness of voice tone was perhaps best in world concerning sopranos..tarja era is over for ever . and for future NW there is only Floor taking song By song ...
Perfect song for today here in Ohio in the USA! We have an eclipse today! We need Floor to come here and sing this song!
This is just best version ect. ❤
So much warmer and so much more feeling that Tarja's version!
Que gran verdad...
Agreed. This is lovely. The original Tarja version is very good but her voice is a bit piercing on the high notes. This is absolutely gorgeous, especially on the high notes
84 yrs old and have always been a big fan of Nightwish
if it ain't broke, don't fix it. See you.
Good taste has no age ;)
God Bless you !!
I am 80 and just discovered this great way to present real music...FANTASTIC
Rock never dies and always grows old with grace.

Compare Floor and Tarja. Both sung Sleeping Sun. Or compare both at Deep Silence Complete and you get easily the difference.

Sometimes, singer-songwriters are wrong about which versions the public love of even their own recorded songs or prefered versions of songs.

Yes Marko is awesome... Stunning bass lines...
I thank Tuomas Holopainen for this amazing music.
The weirdest part is that he allegedly wrote this on commission rather than out of sheer creativity :)
Yep. On occasion of the 1999 total eclipse. I listened to this song via headphones when the eclipse occurred. One of my all-time favorite memories.
P
Creative genius.
I thank ALL of Nightwish for this amazing music. A genius composer needs amazing talent to bring his songs to life.
I’ve watched this more times than I can count, and I’ve never thought to leave a comment before, but I just wanted to say that this performance has been a comfort to me for about four years now. I know you’ll never see this but I hope you know just how many hearts you’ve touched with your voice. Thank you, genuinely.

Got to know Nightwish this year (2022) and god what have I been missing? Hearing the live version makes me perfectly understand why there are so many Floor lovers.
Well, now you’re not missing! Just a little late to the party…(and MAN what an incredible one)
Most singers just sing to your ears.
A smaller number can sing to your mind.
Then there's a very few that can sing to your heart and soul.
And Floor sings all you have mentioned!
Floor sings to my soul and I’m a ginger I don’t even have one

Perfect version of sleeping sun! clear voice, precise performance! All time sleeping sun!
RedSquirrel I almost fell asleep while listening to this rendition of this song... 😕
Nothing beats Tarja's take on of this song. Never.
@@sakuraitonen9513 ga lekker janken joh
@@sakuraitonen9513 admit
Her English is a bit more fluent which accentuates the words much better than Tarja’s original since her English was as clear back then. I met her last year and it’s gotten much standard.
I'm 4275 years old and I love Nightwish
Floor Jansen, thanks for this music, i'm 62 and i love this.
Glad to know I am not their oldest fan... I am 51 (But hey I am the same age as Marco )
HMACDONALD69 I'm 34, well metal has more and more grey/bald heads in fan pits and that's awesome.We never age,just level up.
I think we're a new breed of fans. This is when grandparents are full fledge rockers. I'm 57 and I love Nightwish like mad. First heard of them in 2006 but only last year did I really really get into them. Love all three singers!
Me too and I'm 66 yrs old !!!
Emekli kahvesi gibi burasi nsnsn
My god. Her voice is unbeliveable! Floor fits absolut perfect to Nightwish. Hope for a long, long time!
I have the bravery to say it, FLOOR IS THE BEST SINGER that nightwish has seen. She is the swiss army knife of singers, she can sing so many different styles, and does it with perfection. Hate all you want, i dont care, IMO she is the the PERFECT singer for this excellent band and its genius composer.
She is the best,but for me tarja is nightwish..if u follow from first u will understand what i mean..its like terja is nightwish, ghost of nightwish..listen to tarja u ll know that is nightwish..
@@hafizsulaiman4014tarja got fired in 2005. That’s almost 20 years! At some point you have to let it go! I feel bad for you that you are still on here talking about it.
I’ll speak for myself. I’ve never felt so many emotions before listening to nightwish with Floor. I’ve seen them live twice with Floor, and all I could do was contemplate. It was like looking to a painting or a movie. In awe
@@hafizsulaiman4014 I started listening to NIghtwish in 2006 when I was just a lil girl. I loved Anette and I loved Tarja. Especially Ghost love score and Ever dream (Tarjas version). Then I stopped listening for a while, in 2013 I learned Anette was no longer in Nightwish and I was disappointed so I didn't listen to NW for a while. Then I heard a song with Floor. I've loved her ever since. Much more than Tarja or Anette. She's absolutely incredible. I'm not saying the previous singers are bad, not at all, but Floor is just a different league IMO. Tuomas couldn't have chosen a better singer. So yes, even people who've known Nightwish for ages like and, I dare to say, prefer Floor. It's been nearly two decades since Tarja has been gone. get over it. It's time to move on. If you want to listen to her music she has a successful solo career you can follow.
When she sings I feel like a little forest animal who has been enchanted by a singing magical princess and has no other option but to listen and stare at her in complete awe...
I feel like a 63 year old person … but a nice one …
I love your comment !!!! ALOT !!!!!
Floor is masterclass and beyond. A fantastic lady ❤
Who listen 2020? ☝🏻☺️
Childish
I love the music
No matter the year, the song remains great!
New Nightwish 4/10/20!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a question. Me of course :)
a Valkyrie has descended from Valhalla to sing for us
Wisely spoken
My friend, nothing against Ms. Jensen, but only Tarja deserves this. You should hear this song with her voice. There's no comparison....
@@amitygames9318 LOL, really?
@@amitygames9318 BOTH sing this song beautifully. I personally prefer Floor, but I also like and enjoy Tarja in other songs. Why choose one when you can choose both? That's a thing I will never understand about diehard fanboys.
@@Tomidlo1971 ruclips.net/video/E_RRMRXJWxI/видео.html listen to this one :D
Holy shit. What did I just hear? A piece of heaven.
👍👍 FLOOR JANSEN! 👍👍
She is a viking warrior with an angelical voice....
She is Dutch, but back in the viking days a large part of the Netherlands was Frisia (the coastline up to the south west of Denmark) Frisians trade with the vikings and even some of them went on board for their raides. I have to be carefull with this historical stuff because the rest of scandinavia are gonna use this LOL (If she have some Frisian blood, she is our sister)
This entire show was absolutely unreal. Great DVD.
Johnny W Does the DVD have both Tampere and Wembley?
mangalover0149 DVD has both, live album (at least on Apple Music) only has Wembley
I hope I get to see this band before I die. Especially this incredible woman.
She’s absolutely stunning - in every way.
Nightwish is a national treasure for Finland and a tourist asset to Europe. I just discovered them days ago, and already I plan to travel to Europe to see a 1-3 live shows. I want to be part of the crowd that really loves Nightwish, and the European live videos seem to show that should be in Europe. Of course, I'll also see them if they come to my area.
They're coming to South America next year :-)
The thing is you can't compare Tarja and Floor's takes on this song, as they approached them from different directions. Floor went with a moodier 'rock' sound that was haunting and enveloping. Tarja's take on it was a soulful power ballad that hit you like a truck, in a good way. Each brought their skills and both did a fantastic performance. Go NW!
What a band ! One of the Planet's very best.
The more I listen to Floor's performances of these old NW songs, the more it feels like they were always meant to be sung this way...just amazing ❤️
She does make them her own certainly Sleeping Sun is the only song i have trouble with decideing i love them both By a very very slim margin i have to give it to Tarja
@@garywillingham3644 I don't like Floor's voice here.
@@thomervin7450_Don't you hear her voice is so more refined in that softer parts?
Then you have shit for brains lol
Yes girl!!
There is undeniable grace and humility in showcasing Floor's mega talent. That's why I love her.
I think floor might be a real life siren
Goosebumps!! Omg! Amazing version
Tears in my eyes! So emotional. Thank you Floor!! Thank Nightwish
My mother passed away unexpectedly. She just died out of nowhere in the street in the winter. She was the sun in our lives. For how I wish to go down with the sun. It’s been five years now. I don’t want to go on. She was the sun in our lives and now everyday is a battle against darkness. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home
That performance is the proof of a singer that can go up in the head register without the need of covering the voice. Awesome, simply amazing talent
I'm stunned and speechless with this live version....
I thought I was immune but no - I have goosebumps and started to cry. This song has always been one of my favourite, and the live versions are so impressive. Both Tarja and Floor make tear up, and I won't have it any other way.
I can listen this song in Floor's performance "upon the centuries"!!! I am 49 old man and feelings overflow me up to the weeping each time when she sings it! Thanks Floor! You are the best. You are LADY!!!
witam tu wiednąca 50 latkka przy tej piosence rozkwitam na nowo i czuje sie młodo tak jak przy utworze miłośc zwyćieża wszystko .deep purple i polecam posłuchac tez kiedy prawda boli axela rudi peela z jugosławi piosenki z zycia wziete pozdrawiam
Listening to this live made me cry and I am not ashamed. I felt every word Floor sang. She is a true vocalist. Long live Nightwish.
I´ve today my 70. birthday and this a great perfect present to ME!!!!💖💖💖I love hart and metal Rock!!!
She is able to be Valkyrie and Goddess of Hope in the same time...
Isn't this Goddess just imperious. A voice from heaven.
God, I love her!!! 😍 her voice gives me chills.
Goosebumps from the beginning!
I had tears in my eyes where I heard this song live from Floor
Me too......
Me too
What an absolutely beautiful song. The music is sublime and Floor just nails it. She sings as beautifully as she looks 😍😍
Wow ! I’m one month into this band and everywhere I turn is another gem . This was so beautiful !
Her voice is from other universe...simply amazing
Tarja is amazing
beautiful woman, beautiful song, wonderful connection
Heaven sounds like this. Floors voice is the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. I'm a life long musician and know talent when I hear it. Floor has it in spaids.
OMG. What a goddess ? She is ..She is .. I have nowords.
Floor is the best female vocalist... I wish Nightwish would play in Florida sometime soon
Who sings this song better, Tarja or Floor? The answer is yes. Also yes this is a different drummer. How can one choose between Tarja and Floor. They are both beautiful women with incredible voices. Just enjoy. Dont bother to compare. It defeats the feeling of the song.
I agreed with you
Best comment ever on this subject
Steven Richards that’s easy. Tarja. Nothing comes close to her. Nightwish died when she left the band.
This is now a glorified cover band
I'm not very familiar with this band, but there doesn't seem to be a downside to who is singing. I do adore Tarja in Nemo and Floor (I presume?) in Story time.
Nightwish didn't die when Tarja left. That's ridiculous.
Floor is a very good singer, but Tarja was just stupendous. The power, tone and accuracy of her singing was breathtaking, but she's gone. No point looking back.
As for beauty: sorry, but tattoos and piercings are a complete turn off for me, so Tarja wins that too.
This is just fantastic!
Floor is such a lovely woman and amazing singer.
unbelievable..... a beautiful escape from reality right now...
I just stumbled upon Nightwish by chance..... OMG what a singer, melodies incredible! .... from a punk rock fan
Welcome to the Nightwish fan group. We have 20 years of music full of passion and great concerts....and a group of whiners, who miss the singer, who was kicked out 13 years ago for being a selfish diva. Ignore them, or they will make your head hurt.
Tuomas has a wonderful gift of writing beautiful music, which is still worth listening to 20 years later. There's a lot for you to explore, so take your time. Floor has only been with them since 2013, but if you go to concerts, you can see her in all her glory....and she is just as awesome as here.
I saw her live and I had tears in my eyes
This version is so beautiful
I love how Tuomas is always immersed in his art. I hope to achieve this level of musical genius one day.
This song is such a beautifully majestic masterpiece, it gets me every time!
I love Floor more and more the more i hear her live....
Nightwish in this incarnation is what I’ve dreamt of since the eighties. I discovered them with Dark Passion Play, But Floor transcends all my expectations. Between my childhood heroes conquering the big screen and the music I always wished to hear being made in the here and now, I can almost forget how screwed up my country is right now.
Thank you all SO much for bringing this magic into my life. Nightwish is my number 1 favorite band, bar none. Alpenglow makes me cheer and this song makes me cry. What more can I ask for but raw emotion evoked by your music.
I can’t say I’m your number 1 fan. That would be... hyperbolic. But literally the only thing stopping me from begging, borrowing, or stealing enough money for a ticket to your next show in Seattle is my body isn’t up to even the trip north, much less the press of my fellow fans. Just do me and everyone else a favor. Just keep putting out live performance reels and I’ll keep buying them and trying to hook every potential fan I can find.
They are pretty special, we saw them in Portland, last year...Met the band.. They are a must see band- live.
Tarja's voice has a more magical sound as if it's from a Fairytale. Floor more rock sounding. Both singers are incredible !! Just enjoy what Floor is able to bring to Nightwish.
Floor has... the X-Factor somehow. Tarja's version is very much in an opera style, Floor is indeed more in a rock style but especially very much her own style. There's a sense of mystery in Floor's voice that I appreciate very much.
@@joostwinter Interesting analysis, very nicely said..
I love both singers. Floor is more versatile.
Floor adds emotions like no one ever did. I love Tarja but when Floor replaced vocal style in last chorus with that belting I felt that in my bones. It was somehow more sad more like begging for help.
Tarja does not have any vocal techniques (except for opera). She can't sing softly (with a gasp).
Tarja is greater than nightwish.
I love it when artists only use half of their potential. It leaves a very large pool of skill to craft every little detail not only to superhuman perfection but to put it beyond that, back to human, back to relatable, back to personal. When Floor sings, I do not only hear a great singer, she makes it sound as if the innermost part of my soul is singing. And I know that many other people feel the same way. This way she connects us to people we have never met.
Nightwish is a life time band.
Oh my, what a powerful song...so beautiful, brings tears to my eyes..
I want this song played at my funeral. Shame I won't be there to hear it!
A masterpiece that becomes pure art in the voice of Tarja or Floor. Both of them make this song something beyond words
Sorry, but Tarja takes this song to another level.
Congratulations to Nightwish for having Floor Jansen
Andre; I got you all beat I'm 75 Nightwish just bumped Rammstien down to my second favorite metal band, just discovered them in January of 18,took a while to get the different front women figured out, Tarja and Annette were both good but I've never heard any one even come close to Floor her voice quality and range are unbelievable one hell of a fantastic band, hope they out last me!
This was one of the songs I thought Floor could struggle to sing. It seemed so perfect with Tarja... But then I heard Floor singing it and she made me see how she's even better than I think. She took this song and made it even more perfect, as if it was possible. She is not only the best singer NW ever had, she's one of the best ever
Couldn't agree more! :D I have heard Tarja and Anette, but my personal favorite is Floor
I watched it. It was awesome!!!!!
will never be better than tarja. case closed.
in your opinion. there are other people's opinions too... :D
hello tarja holic ..floor is perfect match for NW . listen to ratina station for wishmaster ...it was all above earth. this kind of live presentation tarja did never . floor operatic touch with wideness of voice tone was perhaps best in world concerning sopranos..tarja era is over for ever . and for future NW there is only Floor taking song By song ...
Could cry everytime like a child, when I listen to that song and I'm one hell of a ballbreaker
Floor wins everytime! So good. Singer and so georgeus!
Ich liebe diesen Song und ich liebe diese Frau....eine unglaubliche Sängerin!
