We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
Hope that you end up reacting to "Last Ride of the Day" by NW, is an epic song. plus a bunch more Marko and Floor signing, plus the rest of the band of course.
Lol
Marco had an operation to remove a polyp from his vocal chords that went wrong. He lost his ability for falsetto/head voice and had to relearn how to sing to get around the problems caused by the operation. He has done that brilliantly.
I love this story because it makes Marko just so much more amazing.
He does everything brilliantly - not a surprise. He's a very special human being. I wish him well.
Somewhere on RUclips you can find audio of his singing before the surgery. His voice sounds completely different.
M
So sad that he left
If you really wanna see the power of marco's voice, then HIGH HOPES is your song
can hardly agree more 🤘👍
Totally agree.
Love this song
Probably the best singing ive ever heard from him, absolutely incredible, hope she reacts to this!
The whole tarot's first album is his power !!! Marco is amazing
Someone has to design a T-shirt with Marco's picture and him saying "Floor Jansen is my back-up singer"
😂😂
Not anymore though...
I would still buy one in a heartbeat.
You do it Brian. Be a leader not a follower.
Marco actually wrote this song. It is one of my favorites.
From what I recall, he wrote the music, the lyrics are still Tuomas
The stage speech lacking subtittles goes like:
Marko: "So if I play the chorus, you'll sing along, right?"
Audience: "Yyeeeaah!"
Marko: "You will?"
Audience: "YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAH!"
Marko: "Okay, so we're gonna do it"
thanks for this! I wish they had added that in subtext. I'm learning Finnish now but nowhere near where I know anything past some weird sentences, lol
Thanks, Wulfshade. Much appreciated. \m/
@@JessyBee1313 Good luck with that, you are going to need it. Just remember, you will not understand any normal conversation in Finnish even if you learn it all before-hand, it will take a little while to adjust to normal conversation (we tweak the language we use a lot depending on where, about what and to whom we are talking to subconsciously, and also speak really really fast). Just don't get too shocked and give up, if you have learned the grammar and vocab properly, you will adjust quite fast if you keep up with it
.
ps. We also have news in "simplified" Finnish called 'Yle News in Easy Finnish' these days that avoid difficult words and grammar whenever possible, and speak in a slower pace. It is for foreigners learning the language and people with cognitive shortcomings. I highly recommend listening to that as an extra tool when transitioning to practical listening practices
For those who want to learn Finnish: "Eli jos mä soitan sen kertosäkeen, te varmaan laulatte mukana? Laulatte? Okei sit se vedetään." This has quite a lot of puhekieli so it might be hard
@@ilesalmo7724 "Puhekieli" basically means slang, or every day speech - which ion the case of finnish can differ signficantly from the "text book finnish".
Hello Elizabeth: Story behind the song!
(C) Tuomas Holopainen: " I would have been willing to pick this up from the Dark Passion Play album as a single, if the singer hadn’t just changed( Tarja ----> Anette 2006). A Celtic song that Marko played a couple of years before, in the back room. Saying it would properly not sit for his band, Tarot. It flashed through my mind, this song is about a lighthouse keeper by the way. So Marko finished the song, and I did the words. Little Elegia, a poetic song, about a lone lighthouse keeper. And no symbolism, for once, direct storytelling. This song is what we can play in gigs acoustically ”.
For Elizabeth. If You want to get in touch with Floor, ( or anyone else with Nightwish)contact bands record company: Nuclear Blast Records.👍. Some kind words about Your channel, have allready been sent. Floor has been really active now during Korona times in social media( Look for Her You Tube Channel). She has told, that She doesn't look so many reactions, for reactions. BUT would be interesting about mucical feedback about Her singing and talking about it!. Many people have recomended You and Your channel, if She desides to do more about reactions 😊So now is the right time E. Go to get them girl! ❤
If you like this song, have you tried "white pearl black oceans" by Sonata Arctica?
@@justinhopcroft937 My answer is BIG BIG Yes, and Tallulah!❤
@@pyssy123 Hell yeah, Elizabeth on her Podcast / Vodcast! That would be amazing. Great suggestion Joulu!
Excellent comment, Joulu, thanks!
The voice that got me into Nightwish wasn't Tarja or Floor, but Marco. The power he gave off in Planet Hell really resonated. That was the first song of theirs I ever heard.
Floor comes in:
Elizabeth: "Hi!!!"
I loved that reaction lol
That was very delightful 😄
Alternate title: "Vocal coach Elizabeth fangirling Marco for 15 minutes straight" :)
Any person who listen to marco. man or woman will be fangirling over him
How can you listen to Marco sing and not fangirl over him?
Everyone should be fan of Marco!
Has she heard While your lips are still red?
"This is not what I was expecting..." Nightwish is like the Spanish Inquisition in that regard 😁.
Nobody expects the islander
@@ethan_6strings186 Indeed
Lol...
yeah, it's not what everyone brands it to be...
I have listened to hundreds of Nightwish reactions and rarely read comments. Im glad I did though.. you made me laugh. This is SO true.. and I get the reference. :)
I love Floor's professionalism in this song where she sings back up vocals and never overpowers Marco. We all know she can but she actually just sings her part. I have massive respect for the comfort of the band to do this.
I am not saying I disagree with you, as Floor was subdued to the appropriate level, and her stage presence is such that she can snatch the spotlight by smiling....but I am not sure that on a strict power play that she could actually over power Marco. That man has a pretty massive power plant of his own.
@@greywuuf It also helps that she likely wants a small break whilst marco sings, being on a stage for awhile can be tiresome lol
Actually the professiinalism is in the Band itself where Floor's voice had been subdued to suit the song to the ears in a way the Band wanted it to be delivered.
Why would she in the first place; we are just praising people for the bare minimum now
@@1998rg trophy’s for everyone!!
I'm going to miss Marko so much. At least I got to hear "The Islander" one time live.
And this is how I found out he left the band. I’m surprised I didn’t hear about it sooner, honestly.
So sad that with NW happened to me the same thing when Jani Liimatainen left Sonata Arctica... I'm not be able to see/listen to them all together again.. :/
It's so nice that at least we have this videos to revive those moments even if we were not there!
@@Legionbass19 Sorry to be the bringer of bad news. 😔
Marko was the reason I got into night wish
wait wtf
If you really wanna hear some growling. Yours is an empty hope, live at Wembley.
Floor switching between growling her fucking heart off, then switching over... It's amazing. The woman is scary in the most wonderful way.
No... Revamp-wildcard plz. The growl in yours is an empty hope is almost inaudible
Specifically the version of "Live at Wembley" also. The Cruise one is cool atmospherically and all, but the sound quality is soooo much better from the Wembley recording.
@@despairingleonardo Not at Wembley, it isn't. But her growl at the end of this song at Tampere is ursine.
@@despairingleonardo That's the best solo growl...but the sound quality it horrible.
To actually hear Floor growling g cleanly it has to be ReVamp and either Disdain or Wild Card
Nightwish - Kiss while your lips are still red, for more Marco
Yeah, I was about to say that too :)
I thought that was sung by Tuomas.
@@PGraveDigger1 Toumas does backing vocals, Marco is the lead.
@@BadGirlFan Thanks for the clarification.
Or just anything from Marco's band Tarot. Surprising those guys are never recommended :)
What I love about Nightwish is that... they ALWAYS are obviously enjoying every moment performing together. What. A. Great. Band.
You know your're doing ok when you have to entertain 30,000 people on your own and end up with Floor singing backup vocals for your song. This is such a beautiful Maritime folk song... I get the urge to put back a few pints in a Newfoundland Pub everytime I hear this song. Another great Nightwish reaction! Much love.
When you have Floor willing to act as your backup singer, you know you are doing something right. It is like those 2 have 1 brain when it comes to vocal harmonizations. 👍🏻
If you want to hear more of mellow Marco, find While Your Lips Are Still Red... if you haven't already, that is!!
one of my favorite nightwish songs
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss it's one of my favs
Yes I agree and of course Wembley 2015 live version.
@@qayaki yep
Or their cover of Pink Floyd`s High Hopes
I simply love Elizabeth honest and pure reactions and little twitches when seeing something she likes. I sometimes forget to watch the video she is reacting to because I get lost in her reactions. It's so pure that her excitement rubs of on me, I'm no expert and sometimes I have no idea what she is talking about, but I get super excited anyways xD
Yes! Her reactions are so pure and cute! She reminds me of a little excited and happy girl 😊
Yes, she’s quite gorgeous isn’t she? She has a beautiful smile and a very endearing glint in her eye - her fella is one lucky dude….
And always respectful.
Those were my thoughts exactly...such an honest reaction...pure joy in discovery. I am very glad I stumbled across her channel. And she clearly understands music theory and technique. Rick Beato has a similar channel.
i just love how Floor is supporting in this song and not take it away from Marco.
Agreed ... her smile is enjoyment at it's highest. She is obviously proud of how she and Marko work together ... as Elizabeth describes, "weaves in and out of the melodies." I can only hope they work together again in the future. The video of he and Floor singing Ava Maria is one of the most beautiful moments I've seen, when at the end he rests his head on her shoulder. There is sincere love and appreciation between them.
This is one of the reason Tarja was let go. Annette originally did the back up in the album (amazing singer in her own right) but before the change, Tarja's husband and manager was against her being backup in this manner
I love seeing her so enthusiast and genuinely happy. Her hapiness brings happiness.
SAME!
The bit where he speaks, he's asking the audience if they should sing the chorus together ;) I'm absolutely in love with this song, was so great to hear it live at this show.
Floor and Marco's voices just blend together so naturally
Marco just recently released his first solo album, and it's really quite good. Anyone who wants to hear more of him, look for "Marko Hietala - Pyre of the Black Heart", or "Mustan sydämen rovio" if you want to hear him in Finnish; the album has full versions in either language available. And yes, his first name is officially spelled with a k. He's always used Marco as a stage name but decided to go with the official spelling for his solo record.
Marko is amazing and I'm so happy to see someone appreciate him as much as the Nightwish Army does.
For more see "While Your Lips are Still Red - live at Wembley" or "Ever Dream - live at Wacken" where Marko and Floor together just shows everyone how great they are.
Yes pls. Ever Dream is my favorite song. I Want my tears Back in Wacken is amazing too.
Niiiiice... can't wait to see Elizabeth's analysis. She's now one of us for sure - a proud member of the Nightwish army.
This Nightwish lineup was the best! Marco and Floor make a great duo on the vocals!
At 3:26 he says:
"So, if I'll play the chorus, you'll probably sing with me?"
Crowd: "Yes!"
"You will?"
Crowd: "Yeees!"
"Ok, then we'll sing it."
And the song continues.
That’s so cute
you should try their Pink Floyd cover High Hopes, Marco is amazing singing it
people just ignore this cover idk why :(
Marko kills it, yes, but it's a great performance as a whole.
absolutely yes!
That would be so great. Though I think Gilmour's voice suits it more, Marco is doing great. It was the first song I hear him singing, and I was like: wow! :-D
I forgot about that cover, going to have to rewatch it now.
Please keep doing Nightwish, Elizabeth. They are also a perfect band to point your students toward. Consummate professional musicians and performers, yet humble bandmates. Some of the best in the world at their trade, yet able to not let their egos detract from their performances. Love this band...
Nightwish actually has quite a few folks songs. Particularly with their second vocalist, between Tarja and Floor. I have always been impressed by the way that they write the songs to work with each singer's unique voice. Anette was very good at the folk style, and some jazz and pop.
He has been singing like that for 37 years consistently. So it is not "damaging his vocal chords". He just has a great natural range of vocalization. And, he doesn't push his voice over what he naturally has (his natural ability is huge!...Marco is a BEAST).
I think Elizabeth might like - Kamelot ft. Simone Simons - The Haunting live at Norway (2006) ᴴᴰ
I was just going to suggest that one.
@@cmorrow74 maybe even more Kamelot - Abandoned, really showcase Khans voice
Or, indeed, the 3-part song, "Elizabeth" from Kamelot...
That song is how I got into Epica, I -had- to find Simone.
March of mephisto
Its a must when you have someone like floor doing the backing vocals.
That speaks to this bands character so well and the respect that they have for each other. The fact that Floor can take a backseat and let Marco shine is so nice.
On Floors youtube channel Floor and Marco recently casually talked about aliens and you can hear in the conversation how much respect and almost some kind of idolization Floor has for Marco. Which is totally justified since he's making awesome music with his band Tarot since 1986. Marco is extremly talented, works super hard and seems to be a very nice guy.
Northgate a friend of mine met the group after a concert in the states a few years back. He said that Floor and Tuomas were swamped by media and stuff from local radio, and Marco, Troy, and Emmpu were just hanging out with the people that were backed. Super nice guys from what I am told.
Marko singing a Nightwish cover of High Hopes is my favorite example of his vocals. Talk about impressive
What I love about this recording is how Floor respects Marcos voice and understands that she is the backup singer in this song. Hands down for both of them.
The Floorgasms were amazing, but this is the Marcogasm I've been waiting for. He's just such a supremely talented individual and it was so exciting to see Elizabeth break some of that down and put into words why he's so amazing (because for someone with absolutely no musical education, like me, I can hear/feel why something/someone is fantastic but could never articulate it).
I also recommend, for personal listening experience of more songs outside their typical wheelhouse, "While Your Lips Are Still Red" and "Slow, Love, Slow."
while your lips are still red! yes! such a beautiful song
I've commented it on another one of your videos too, but YOU MUST check out "Ever Dream" by Nightwish live on Wacken 2013. It's a wonderful example of the Floor-Marco vocal duo. Believe me, it's going to be the type of dynamic Nightwish song you're searching for!
yea i am not even really a nightwish fan but that song
Absolutely, that song is a Floor belt-fest!!
@@randyblankenship8203 Just wait until she hears She is My Sin from that concert
Came for the Floor reveal. Was not disappointed!
"Hi!"
You are a god damn delight. 🙂
You really cannot put more talent and musical ability on stage at once than these six performers!
Floor growling
Nightwish - Yours Is An Empty Hope.Vehicle Of Spirit.Live at Wembley (2015)
Just a great song, even though those "weasels" abandoned him🤣🤣
You missed the intro to it where Marco was saying that the "weasels" had left him on his own.
I can go to bed now. Ahhh. Just what I've come to expect. Great reaction🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love how Floor and Marko sound together. It's almost like two children are playing freely and so pure but on the other hand, it's so mature.
Everything this band puts forth is a masterpiece
Troy is playing an Irish tin whistle. Possibly a "low whistle", tuned in D.
That whistle is lower than low D, pretty sure it's a Bass Bb
Low whistle
So stupid question for you. Maybe you can answer it or someone else can. What is the difference between A flute, Pipe, and a Whistle?
@@The_Greml1n Generally, If someone is talking about a flute, they are talking about an instrument held sideways (traverso), where you blow across an opening. For whistles (Irish whistle, pennywhistle, low whistles), they are end-blown, and held straight out and down. Whistles come in many keys/sizes from tiny soprano G down to huge Bass A. Pipes usually refer to the various bagpipes, the most common of which are Highland (Scottish) or Uilleann (Irish).
He is playing an Overton Low D whistle.
Nightwish army incomming here. If you really want to hear Marco's voice you should react to "While Your Lips Are Still Red,Wembley Arena 2015" and " High Hopes" a cover of Pink Floyd from 2005 ....
yes both are amazing songs and marco really show how he can sing.
Everyone says these. I have to throw in for Endlessness!
Yep Endlessness from their actual Album is truely fitting in, though theres no live performance of it yet in a world without concerts. Marco as its best 😍 (and a little bit blending in floor ;) )
Oh gosh, she is so good at this, I love her music choices. I also love her expression, passion and knowledge. Also she’s stunningly beautiful!!
thank u. heard this for like the 40000000 time
Two of Marco's best performances are on Wish I Had An Angel and especially Bye Bye Beautiful, the song he wrote in response to Tarja's leaving of the band. They really showcase the power and dynamics of his voice.
Marko continues to amaze. Tuomas is SPOILED for choice. People forget that Marko is a full fledged lead singer himself. For DECADES!
This is sooo true!
I always giggle when reacters say that Marco could easily be a lead singer of his own band. lol
@@black4pienus Well that's because they don't know haha..
People also often forget that he still sings like that even after bad and unnecessary surgery damaged his vocal chords and he lost most of his beautiful falcetto.
@@adrammelech6323 Sounds to me like he has worked very hard to get it back. He sounds great now but of course I hope he never needs a surgery again.
I can't wait for this one =) This and While Your Lips Are Still Red made me really appreciate Marco
Troy Donockley is indeed playing what is called a Low Whistle, so you were very close. Might I recommend you also listen to "High Hopes" live from the End of and Era DVD, it's an amazing cover by Marco. Really nice review of one of my favorite live performances by Nightwish.
Marco took Music Theory and understands it on such an amazing level. He knows how to blend entirely different tones together both instrumentally and vocally.
This is why some people joke when there is all the “Who’s the best singer Tarja or Floor...the answer is Marko”. Hes very talented and even more so when knowing he had prior cord surgery that didn’t go well.
If I have to choose... Marko, no doubt...;)
Didn't that surgery leave him unable to produce a full falsetto? Also, I think Marko and Floor are pretty close in overall ability. Both of them are, in my opinion, better than Tarja, though to be honest saying Tarja isn't as good as those two isn't saying much. That's like saying someone's not as stoned as Snoop Dogg.
Ever Dream next for epic belting by both Floor and Marco
Elizabeth: "What a cool effect!"
Marco: "Oh yeah!"
Love your reactions! You are sooo in too it. Geuine happy when someone does good stuff. And you talk about it in a way that even I understand... keep up the good job!
I can't wait to hear what Elizabeth thinks of Marko doing the main vocals with Floor as back up. Her backup vocals are georgous, and I love how the other members just pick up the melody and fill out the music towards the end
You must be something really special if you can have Floor as backup vocals
@@pdimi3829 Someone should send Marko a shirt with "Floor Jansen is my backing vocalist" on it.
Showcase Marco amazing range : *High Hopes* live. Showcase Marco and Floor blending : *While Your Lips Are Still Red* live.
Just found your channel today and am so glad I did. You are such an inspiring person. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us, your the best!
I just love watching you be filled with pure joy as you experience the talent if this group. Love your reactions! Thank you!
Hah - I knew you'd love that one Elizabeth: does that shiver count as a Marcogasm I wonder? ;-) For a song with Marco and Floor that couldn't be more of a contrast, try Romanticide from the Wacken 2013 concert.
Elizabeth can't deny it - that WAS a Marcogasm!
YES,, UP-VOTE Romanticide please Elizabeth. Floor + Marco = magic in what they do with their voices. I bet it's something you've never heard in your life. You will be floored to hear their vocals get very interesting in Romanticide.
Yes Elizabeth has reacted to all 3 of Nightwish's epic songs (GLS, PatP, GSoE) but interestingly she hasn't analyzed anything from Wacken 2013 yet. Romanticide definitely has the most vocal acrobatics so should be a good choice though you couldn't go wrong with anything from Wacken.
@@gencoserpen1260 Agree. All of Wacken is fantastic. "Vocal Acrobats" Love that choice of words to describe what they do in Romanticide.. Sure hope Elisabeth goes for it. Her reaction would be priceless.
Don't forget "Ghost River"
But yeah, "Romanticide" needs to be up there on her list of Nightwish reactions.
As always, your reactions/analysis are pure gold. Thank you!!
This song is amazing... it brought me to tears in a few spots. BUT. your reactions. are. PRICELESS.
The wind instrument is the largest mode of the Irish tin whistle.
You really need to examine the range of vocal technique (tenor, baritone, and bass screaming in choral arrangement; full Queen/Beatles-like Rock 4-part harmony) in Wintersun's Sons of Winter and Stars (rehearsal version).
Also, you're a really lively and knowledgeable person. Keep up the great work.
Second this. Would love to see her react to some Wintersun!
This whistle is known as a low whistle there's a folk metal band, Eluveitie, that features this instrument quite often. The tin whistle aka penny whistle is the "higher" version.
Love, love, love your reactions. And thank you for your professional commentaries - they are VERY interesting.
I love your reactions sooooooo much!! And I love Nightwish so seeing them together is always amazing!! :)
I absolutely LOVE your expressions when reacting to songs and your smile is Epic! Thanks for these
When you asked what he was saying he basically says "will you sing with me... OK".
Thank you for reacting to this one! I am really looking forward to this.
So glad you did a react to this!! I love your reactions to songs. And yeah, Marco is pretty amazing.
Love, love, love your facial expressions. And how you break down the performance so everybody gets it. Thank you. Go Finland!!!!
What an absolutely gorgeous version of this song. Nightwish never fails to impress. Thanks for covering this; I'd only ever heard the album version (which, of course, is awesome as well).
“High hopes” for some more Marko please
I’m *so* glad that you reacted to/analyzed this performance. “The Islander” is one of those songs that I love to periodically revisit since I first heard it many years ago.. it’s melancholic and gorgeous!
Another epic song, another great review from you. Please keep these videos coming. Thank you
Aw, Elizabeth, this was the sweetest and best breakdown of a song. Love your enthusiasm and how happy you look listening to music and how you get so excited to give us your thoughts! Marko certainly is one cool guy and so talented. The Nightwish cup runneth over with talent...lol. Hope you continue the Nightwish journey! 🤘☮💗
Again--yes again. I love watching your reactions.Not because you are a master of the voice. Because we can truly see your joy and reactions to hearing this. Watching you enjoy these songs makes us enjoy them even more. Please keep making these videos. A true breath of fresh air. Danke.
You look so happy all the time and we can see you are REALLY excited and enjoying these artists. It's really cool to listen to them through your expert eyes, it gives me the sense of a newfound admiration for them, it's a different way of admiring their music. Thanks for this opportunity =)
A beautiful reaction to a beautiful song. Thank you Elizabeth for opening up a whole new world to me with regard to the technicalities and intricacies of the voice. Paul 😊
Try to listen to "yours is an empty hope" you will be able to hear and see Floor Jansen growling...yes, she can also GROWL.
I would love to know if Floor is truly 'singing' when she's backing Marko in Yours Is An Empty Hope, or if she's found a way to control her fry well enough to hit some of the pitches where her pitches drop below Marko's. Either way, it's amazing.
Yes, that would be a fun contrast going from the Islander to that.
@@sheriheldstab5565 try to listen "wild card" from ReVamp. It was a project after AfterForever, where she used to sing. This song live is really awesome.
ruclips.net/video/GpZMFALYeGc/видео.html there she is...
I approve of this reaction... :) Now for While Your Lips Are Still Red for more of Marco and Floor being awesome together.
Are we sure she can handle more Marco?
Keep them coming you're awesome!! I love seeing your reaction and breakdown of things that are a little off the wall. It'd be awesome to see all of your vocal nerd moments to a performance by a band like, tool, for example.
I love your reaction to Marco he is such a talented singer his solo work is beautiful but the chemistry between him and Floor is simply amazing. Wonderful reaction thank you for sharing.
Another wonderful video from you Elizabeth! I love that you take the time to analyse and describe what Marco is doing, how he's achieving his sound, and enjoy every moment of it. Joy is infectious, and anyone can see that you absolutely love music and vocals. I'm not a singer myself but I love hearing all about it from an expert like you.
Thank you for making RUclips a happier place, looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
I never get tired of seeing Marco being appreciated. Great reaction, it's been awesome to experience Nightwish with you. My recommendation for a voice you might love is Anneke van Giersbergen. She has such an interesting voice and is one of Floor's major influences. A great starting point would be "Travel" by her former band The Gathering. In my opinion, the best version to listen to is here on RUclips, "The Gathering - Travel (TG25: Live at Doornroosje - unofficial video)". Hope you get around to it because I think you'd really enjoy her voice and the song as a whole.
They are all so talented, never get tired of hearing them!!!!!
Love how excited you are when listening to music! You can tell how much you just love music.
Please, listen to Disdain - Revamp (Live). In that song you will hear Floor in a heavier metal song. She growls, belts and makes a little opera part; all in one song! Hope you enjoy this.
The Gathering By Delain Featuring Marco I would also highly recommend, sorry if youve already done that one, new subscriber playing catch up. you can find it be searching for Delain ft. Marco Hietala - The Gathering - Masters of Rock 2017 DVD
I'm pretty sure she hasn't
@@Idefixu nope.
"Nothing Left" and "Control The Storm" are good ones to hit as well. And not a Marko song, but We Are The Others is fantastic - not just Charlotte's performance, but also the message.
Actually he sings many great songs with Delain. Many live performances on Delains Hunters Moon album. Songs like sing to me., Nothing left, Control the Storm, my body is a battleground and more. He is very versatile like Floor and also came out with solo album s few months ago.
It's definetively a great performance by Marco. But in my opinion not one of Chorlotte's best ones. She can do so much more than just using permanently her headvoice. But yeah, Delain would definetively be wonderful, as there are not many reactions to this wonderful band yet.
I love coming to your site. I love your expressions & how your eyes light up.
I'm such a huge Nightwish fan. They are so awesome. I love your reactions to their stuff.
Super reaction, one of my faves from Nightwish..
@@shanialover Shania girl, that's okay. I'll always love you no matter what :-) and by the way I saw how you said you were tied up and Elizabeth and Kirk were playing with you. I was going to say, hey I'm the only one that supposed to be tying you up, but I froze up, I just couldn't push the key on the keyboard:-) ...hug's..
Other songs were Marco is singing are e.g. NW cover version of "High Hopes" and Tarot "Tides" . Of course the duettos with Floor in Finnish Heavy Christmas sessions are epic too 🤗
Yes! High hopes please!
While Your Lips Are Still Red is another must hear on the Marco front, for Nightwish anyway.
He also does great work in several duets with Charlotte Wessels and Delain. Control the Storm or The Gathering are amazing live.
Lady! I have really enjoyed your reactions and your Nightwish journey! Love your smile! Thanks
The rabbit hole this train has taken us is wonderous and never-ending Elizabeth no matter where you look there is always something new and beautiful their talent has no boundaries I have never been so awestruck in a musical group as I am with nightwish so every time I watch you react to nightwish I'm so happy that you are on this magical train with me 💖
I would like to recommend “While Your Lips Are Still Red”, perhaps the live version at Wembley. Another great song featuring Marco mainly with Floor at backing vocals. Other Nightwish songs in general that I really like are “Shudder Before the Beautiful” and “Élan”. Thanks for the reactions, I really enjoy them.
Me being a fan of nightwish since angels come first album, I must say that my absolute favorite track by them happens to be not one of their originals, but a cover. That is not to imply that their own music is somehow "less", but indicate just how good of a job they did with this performance. I also am a Pink Floyd fan for as long as I can remember, and that is exactly who the cover is of! The song is called "High Hopes" Many many bands have attempted to cover Pink Floyd over the years but most fail to recreate the melancholy ever so present in the soul of Pink Floyd. This song is from the "Division Bell" album which is during David Gilmour era. I feel like Marco has not let them down.
You should react to th Nightwish cover, but I recommend first reminding yourself of the original by listening to it first. After all, it's not one of the widely know songs.
Yeah, I definitely I don't have the prowess to comprehend this song the way that you even did, but by the end or your diagnosis of this thing... You are truly my new favorite thing in regards to vocal analysis.
Love always, your take on things. Liz.
I really enjoy your reactions. Not only do you dumb it down for the non singers out there so we at least have an idea about what you are talking about (thank you for that by the way!) But your face is also so expressive! The look of utter delight is wonderful. You can tell by the way you tip your head or look up when something intrigues you, which makes me listen closer. Thanks for producing an enjoyable reaction channel and being open to discovering new types of music.
