Nightwish "Romanticide" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Nightwish has returned! It's been a while since we've covered Nightwish and Floor Jansen's amazing stage presence, so I wanted to indulge in "Romanticide", something that's been on our list for quite some time. This song is the epitome of why I love Floor's voice.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Nightwish performing "Romanticide” for the very first time.

We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
Pause video, skip 5seconds, skip,skip. There are so many gems of expressions on your face, its amazing and i love how expressive you get often.
Did you see Nightwishes announcement. Tank the tech reacted to it. And was little mad. Idk if I read it like he did. I had an impression that they were okay with it since COVID concerts were cancelled,and NW has had lots of new fans via these reaction videos.

Love how the keyboard player was throwing horns while he hit the note before Marco and floor finished
Let's be honest. Everything else aside, we came for the ending slide.
My response to her comments after the first chorus: "Wait for it..."
That's exactly how I remember this song as, "the slide". Nightwish is just plain overwhelming and perfect. HA! The only negtive, the songs should be longer. Perfection is almost impossible to find. Once you do, you just want more.
Yesss. I feel like people don’t acknowledge it as much as they should! 👏🏼👏🏼
Facts!!
Nah, here for Marco's part ;) And the slide :) But more for Marco.
25:54 Maybe I’m so wrong here, but there’s something that I only now picked up during the scream. Marko slides up to a certain note, then holds it there. Floor comes alongside him, but keeps going. Marko then starts to slide down, which gives us the split-second impression that the scream is about to end. That’s when Floor reaches higher to D, as Marko is already descending. I think that totally adds to the surprise factor. I think this is brilliant.
Another very sneaky but effective sound design trick is that they add a slight digital delay to Floor's vocal track just as she reaches the peak of her slide, giving her voice a haunting, layered effect as she holds at the top and slides back down.
I've said this already with Julia before, but it fully applies here too: I can enjoy Elizabeth's fan-girling over Nightwish as much as the brilliant performance itself.
Thank you Elizabeth 🥰
I second for both Elizabeth and Julia 🖤🤘
Seeing these two going full nerd mode, giving lots of interesting insight and being funny as hell at the same time is pure joy every time.😀
Julia and Elizabeth reacting together would be a React dream. Love both of them.
Watching professional vocalists fan-girling/fan-boying over Floor Jansen only makes their reactions all the better. They recognize and appreciate the greatness even more than those of us uneducated in the fundamentals of being a singer.
@@peterbell3199 , & then I appreciate it even more, being shown just how thoughtful/purposeful & technically brilliant Floor, Tuomas et al are.
Elizabeth, please do a tea time interview with Floor Jansen. That would be INCREDIBLE!!!
Yes! Yes! Holy crap, yes!
That would be TOTALLY AWESOME!!!
Lets keep this going!!!
OMG YESSSSS!!!!!!
We now live in a world where this has happened!
Devil and the deep dark ocean from "Decades - Live in Buenos Aires" is another super performance of Floor and Marko. The song is nothing like Romanticide, but it is very "theatrical"...one of my favourite live performance of Nightwish.
PS: another suggestion is to check out Rhapsody of Fire. Tons of material, their collaboration with Sir Christopher Lee is still unknown to many people...
100% agreed! Especially in this performance it always reminds me of musical theatre in the best way possible. This one NEEDS to get done on this channel ♥
First thing that came into my mind! Definitely second that :)
My second-favorite NW song...an absolute must for a reviewer. For the operatic story as well as for the music.
I'd rather Rhapsody because they came before Nightwish doing symphonic and I personally liked the lione era more, yes they had him when they changed to of fire but this only worked for me for until from chaos to eternity then they lost me a bit. I however loved the collab wit hturilli and lione last year or the year before!
+ Ghost River
1st off: congrats to the expecting mother! Love your channel & reactions. Why not DO THE ENTIRE WACKEN CONCERT - 1 sitting- or in parts- as a live stream "party"? It would be so fun to see your real time reaction to this "MOST EPIC" moment in metal history. If anyone else agrees, please up vote this comment.
Yes a thousand times yes! I would also love to see a tea time with Floor or Toumas!
wacken 2013. their top performance for me.😥
the last minute of everdream is what does it for me in that concert the way floor just totally unleash is fantastic
Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes Yes yes yes yes
@@DarkestdaysAU omg yes to this
If you liked this, wait until you hear "Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean" from Buenos Aires. Awesome dialogue between Marko (Devil) and Floor (Gaia) with Floor vocal acrobatics galore. And pro tip: Stop and watch the picture about 2 seconds before the end. Absolute power pose by Floor with fantastic lighting.
My choice as well. In some parts of that song I really wonder where she finds the time to breathe.
The argument between the two characters in that song is just wonderfully done. The scream of frustration at the end, hits so hard. I always found it interesting after all that, Gaia does find some peace at the end of the song. It was more like a theater play than a song.
yes yes yes !! Exactly what I was thinking!!
I love "Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean" even more then "Romanticide"
Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean may be my favorite NW song, especially the Buenos Aries version. Floor's incredible use of every part of her voice in duet with Marco. And her costume... You KNOW Elizabeth will love that one.
speaking of power poses: my favourite one is in "7 days to the wolves (live at wembley)" towards the end of the song in the fast bit she screams at the audience while holding the mik away, so you get the impression she screams right at you, you cant hear any sound so thats just a pure being in the moment kind of thing which i absolutely love
9:24 "She never loses the 'Floor-ness' of her voice." Just when I think the geek-o-meter can't get any better, you surprise me.
I would like to recommend "While Your Lips Are Still Red". Marko is the lead for that song and of course he is amazing.
oh yes, but please the live version
From Wembley. You know it makes sense, even if it is a wheelchair hostile shed which still suffers the acoustics of its original use, as an Olympic swimming pool.
I actually really like the studio version.
This!
The emotions in that song get me every time. Love it.
Slight correction, the drummer at that time was still Jukka Nevalainen, not Kai Hahto. Anyway great video yet again! While Floor is absolutely amazing singer, I would love to see you react to their older songs with Tarja as a singer, like "Wish I Had an Angel", "The Kinslayer", "Wishmaster", "Nemo", "Dark Chest of Wonders", "Ever Dream" or "Sleeping Sun"
Another (Finnish) metal band I would like to see you react to is Amorphis. Their lead singer Tomi Joutsen has interesting style of mixing clean and harsh vocals, and their lyrics are quite often about the Finnish national epic Kalevala, which adds a bit of folk elements to their songs. Some songs from them include "Amongst stars" (which features another Dutch singer Anneke van Giersbergen), "From the Heaven of My Heart", "Enigma", "White Night" (featuring Aleah Starbridge), "Winter's Sleep", "Nightbird's Song", "Song of the Sage" and "Wrong Direction".
Hey Elizabeth, that was actually Jukka on drums in this concert. This was his last tour with Nightwish as their drummer.
Juka is a beast on the drums!
At least get his name right, m'dudes
Jukka, but yes :)
@@cyberjarl I edited the post and spelled the name correctly.....does everyone feel better now??🤦♂️...lol
"The vocal cords go wacka-wacka-wacka..." a technical term, obviously.
Ghost River is one from this show that doesn't get as much love but it's a great tune for Floor and Marko. Also While your lips are still red is a great Marko tune, can't remember if you've done that one yet. Nice to see you revisit this band!
+1 for ghost river, it's one of my favorite nightwish songs
I know I will get sht for that but with Floor the song looses all the creepy elements. I want to hear the children in the background now have Floor sing it and belt it. It is not creepy that way as the song was supposed to be
I love me some ghost River!!
Ghost River a favorite of mine for sure!
There's an awesome song featuring Marko Hietala that just came out you should check out! It's great to see him jamming in his 'retirement ' and this has all the feels 🔥🔥🔥:ruclips.net/video/dHI64gOj6Tg/видео.html
If you also want to see Marko Hietala with his old band Tarot in the 80's : ruclips.net/video/VimogVM3i9Y/видео.html 🤘
"7 DAYS to the WOLVES" Wembley 2015
Floor and Marko sound so great together in this one, they end the song perfectly. The song has build up after build up. Tuomas challenging Floor in windmilling! There is a 10 second section in the middle of the song, one of the best Floor vocals ever, so much passion, feeling. NW has the song back on the setlist - even without Marko, who wrote part of the song. Tasteful guitar solo by Emppu, Kai on drums. Floors scream (off mic) is something to see. I would say this song is rock, not metal, very enjoyable.
I highly recommend "Song of Myself" from the same concert at Wacken Open Air 2013. A great example lower register of Floors voice.
Nah, while I like the live version I think that someone hearing it for the first time needs to hear the studio version for the complete version of it.
@@Angelos42 there is a fan made mashup of the waken version with the spoken poem added on the end which is good. best of both.
@@Angelos42 I dont want to start Anette vs. Floor war, but I don't think Imaginarium version of this particular song has anything to offer over live one. It is not heavily changed (as for e.g. Ghost Love Score) by Floor and main (musically and vocally) difference, besides Floors superior vocal quality, is amount of choir in the mix. And of course the fact, that Floor don't need that choir, she can perform that part by herself 😛. And honestly, I think, that Nightwish is always best live, at least when Tarja or Floor are involved.
absolutely, would love to see Waken Song of Myself.... pretty please!
@@vava_pl Not what I meant, I meant that the live version is missing the poem, which I would love to see her react to.
"No...! It needs to be longer!"
How I feel about every single Nightwish song since I fell in love with them in 1998.
Floor is such a fantastic singer. Back when Tarja left I was so sad, because Nightwish means so much to me. But Floor made me feel the songs again, in different ways and I am so incredibly grateful for that.
Everybody acts like Annete doesn't exist and its so funny yet sad at the same time 🤧
@@DrMikkel_yz54 sadly, I couldn't get into Annete's vocals. I don't know what it was. She's a great singer. I love her as a solo singer.
I love Emppu's solo in this one. His face and reaction during and after the solo is just priceless! In my head I imagine him also being surprised of what's happening on his guitar's fretboard, then relieved afterwards while wiping his face down.
I feel like that’s the deal for a lot of his solos tbh. It comes up and he does it and then afterwards he’s like “woah I just did that??”
Wouldn't be surprised if Emppu can shred with the best of them.
Omg Ellie this will not disappoint, you should definitely listen to the next one seven days to the wolves. It's must have
Wembley Arena live
HAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWL....
I love it
My vote goes to "Ghost River" from this same show. It's a really cool and somewhat underrated song.
Also, you are too adorable!
It’s such a special song, nothing like “normal” metal songs imo
Must do Nightwish songs:
Ever Dream (Wacken 2013)
Storytime (Wacken 2013)
Song of Myself (Wacken 2013)
Dead Boy's Poem (Buenos Aires)
She called that guitar solo "nifty." ❤
I wonder what the elf would have to say about that one. lol
She's not wrong...
Another overlooked Marko performance is the live version of "High Hopes" off end of an era. It's actually a Pink Floyd cover, and Marko's performance is so emotional and powerful. I would love to hear your thoughts on that track :-)
Marko and Emppu really show their talent in that song :)
@@aritolonen286 yaaas! That's my fav Emppu solo. If you catch me at the wrong (right?) Time that song will bring me to tears. Always gives me chills though.
Hell yes, epic solo too
1000% outstanding in every way
Probably the best "male performance" from Nightwish hahaha
Yes, Marko will be missed. I also recommend checking out Tarot, Marko's other band. Especially their song I Walk Forever. The vocal harmonies are spellbinding
I would love to see a "tea-time" visit with you and Floor. I think the two of you would have much to talk about. As for Nightwish reaction & analysis suggestions, I've always enjoyed "Song of Myself". Happy Holidays all
Oh yes, please!
@@IinesSwanheart I was thinking about that and how they could chat about the voice during pregnancy. I think that would be great to hear about
"Tea time"? ;) I was already following Elizabeth's suggestion, with an accompanying beverage[in the same glass, btw] - "Hennepin", from Brewery Ommegang (almost-local) . Somehow, this seems to be a good to pair with Nightwish. (Especially the aroma? ) +shrug+ - don't know why, but it works. ;)
My current favorite, but love them all.
‘Seven Days to the Wolves.’ Super underrated Nightwish track, and the live performance at Wembley is fantastic!
With a surprise violin solo - nice choice. :)
"Dead Boy's Poem" from their Buenos Aires tour is absolutely beautiful. It's delicate and heartbreaking and you would seriously enjoy!
She absolutely has to react to this one! I thought she had but it's not there is it! Insanely good version that is.
Yes.
Yess
Would love to hear your thoughts on this wonderful song!
I was there than day and can absolutely attest to this.
Dead Boy's Poem is well... I've no accurate words to describe how beautiful it is, but it is beautiful and sad and Floor's voice is gorgeous in it.
I’m always struck by how DYNAMIC this piece is. The incredible proficiency and purity of the high D on Floor’s slide… and the way Jukka (not Kai on this one) beats his kit into submission is just glorious!
In the whole concert Jukka beat the s* of of the drums, and still sounds amazing. This is one short but powerful song that always brings me to a better place because of all that musical greatness.
Thank you for this!!! Please do „Song of Myself“ (live Wacken 2013)!!!!! You will be blown away!!!! Please :D
More Nightwish please!
We NEEEEED a Tea Time Interview with Floor!!
My two favorite songs are 7 Days To The Wolves because Floor goes in beast mode (Wembly) and I Want My Tears Back just for the fun (Argentina). We were dancing.
"it's tango country"
I love Elizabeth’s intense staring and almost maniacal smile! Very enjoyable watching her reactions….
WOW. 🤩🤩
This has been such a long time coming.
A Dream will be a Teatime interview between the best vocal coach / reactor on RUclips and arguably the best female singer of our generation 🥰🥰
Totally agree with your statement. The sad part, most people in the U.S. will never get to hear this beautiful artist because of the restrictions on the radio.
Oh, I wish!
@@zvolencan1 And me too !
On so many places this was asked/sugested and i am realy wondering why it did not happen a long time ago. Management? Miscommunication. Whatever i would love it so much. Keep suggesting it. I allready tried on Floors channel as others did.
@@edwarddoss1006 what radio restrictions do they have in the US ?
Your channels always confirms me how closely related classical singing and good metal singing are. Very obvious that if you love both, you often are a fan of symphonic metal and it's complexity, and Nightwish as it's biggest representative. I also like (if not more) your special admiration for Floor's voice. Your channel is a RUclips highlight for me. Thank you, thank you, and greetings from Germany.
Ever dream. The song is simple for Nightwish standards, but the beltings from Floor are crazy high and powerful.
Their best song, in my opinion
Ever Dream ESPECIALLY from this show at Wacken. There are a ton of videos of that song out there but I think several people will agree Wacken was just perfection.
It's up there... especially the one from this same concert
@@Flagg795 her vocal in the Wacken version feels as if she'd finally found the pocket for that song. Earlier performances almost sounded (to me, anyway) like she was still feeling out the best way to physically sing it and while they were still great, the ease and comfort that she sang it at Wacken was perfection.
@@Flagg795 Agree! She sings it beautifully and powerfully. The stamina and control that she sows in the final chorus are overwhelming.
Perhaps in this case the vocal cords should be going Wacken Wacken.
As many have suggested I would jump into Ever Dream. It is a pretty insane showcase of Floors upper register and control of it throughout the song.
Song of Myself, Ghost River. Hell do any song really from the 2013 Wacken concert and you are good to go.
Best part of the slide is Marco ends his about halfway through and is basically screaming while Floor just keeps going up and up and up lol
8:23 Elizabeth about to hit pause.
Floor: Oh no you don't. 😂
My most favourite is when people started Nightwish with Romanticide. It's such a good cold shower 😀🙃
Right, slow ballad...🤣
Isn't that the Ghost River? 😂
Cold shower goes from Ghost River))
Man, that album "Once" has so many incredible tracks on it! I started listening to Nightwish with that masterpiece, and I almost hate that I did, because every time I try to listen to other albums, it seems they don't compare and I always come back to Once. It's a matter of taste of course... At least I never get tired of that album :p
Has anybody seen when floor was on Beste Zangers? She sang Pop, Country, Opera, and some metal. Nobody on the show really knew who she was and she just blew them all away. It was fun watching floor sing in many different music styles perfectly.
Floor singing Phantom with Henk in that show was what got my hopes up that they would bring it back to their live set rotation but alas, now that Marco is gone as well… :´(
Yeah I’d like to see Elizabeth react to Floor’s performance of Winner
I was a huge fan of After Forever in like... ¿2001? and when Tarja went away I always thought Floor was perfect for them, she had a huge vocal range and different textures. She could sing in the usual "opera" clean high note range but also a more dirty screaming voice, she even growls in ReVamp. Time proved me right and I'm happy "Floor saved metal" as some Nightwish fans say.
it was nice, like first show, first song is Vilja Lied, al jaws dropped to the floor
Please Elizabeth do Nightwish more often. You will LOVE listening to and analyzing "Alpenglow" live. "Élan" is also a great one.
Ever since Elizabeth reacted to GLS, I have waited for her reaction to this. Especially wanting to see her expression on hearing The Slide, or Banshee Wail, as I call it.
The wait was worth it; however, as that moment approached every pause was ascending agony. And I love how she pauses and expands/expounds on things.
I am also glad I waited until I wasn't working and had a moment to relax to watch this one. I had time to fully appreciate all that Elizabeth does and says as she teaches us.
Here are my recomendations
Nightwish : Slaying the Dreamer, Devil and the deep dark ocean, Ever dream, 7 days to the wolves, gethsemane, sleeping sun, deep silent complete, Dark chest of wonders and also the second part of the Human Nature album is pure Tuomas instrumental music. 😍
I would also love to see more Sabaton reactions 😁
Dark Chest of Wonders, what a way to set a mood.
I agree. In this order as well please. Going to go and watch the live versions now.
Thumbs up for Gethsemane. It's been one of my favorites since I first heard it on Oceanborn. I loved Tarja's version, and sadly, I haven't found a good quality live version of her singing it; but, Floor just does Floor things and turns every song into the absolute best version of itself.
@@Lebrawlski Yes i have no problem with Tarja or Annete but Floor is for me the absolute best.
I just LOVE your reaction!!!
Floor Jansen’s vocal prowess is truly extraordinary, surpassing all expectations. What’s even more remarkable is that during that particular concert, she battled a fever and relied on medication just to perform. This heightened my admiration for her talent tenfold. When she belted out “Ghost Love Score,” a performance that left us all astounded, she had already been singing for a solid hour!
Floor herself revealed that when she stepped onto that stage, her ailment didn’t matter; it was as if her body and voice were guided by an innate muscle memory. There is no one in the realm of vocalists quite like Floor! She stands as a unique and unparalleled talent in her own right. I love her!
"Expressive" - one thing that not many people comment on is how Floor literally acts the songs out as she's singing. "Song of Myself" is a perfect example, but she also does it here up to the first belt part, watch how she acts quite sultry at the beginning then becomes a little cheeky as she sings the "poppy" bit. Amazing singer with an astonishing ability to portray the vocals and the music to the audience.
I have to second this. "Song of Myself" would be great for a reaction video. ruclips.net/video/lQu5QjidHWg/видео.html
"sounds like pop-like.... i hope you guys won't hit me for saying that..."
Every member of the Nightwish Army -from the simplest of conscripts to the Hands of Odin - :
"Lady, the only thing we haven't heard yet is Floor singing in Monogolian Throat style. Hitting you for everything else is not only rude - it would be carnage!"
floor jansen is the best singer I have ever heard, the amount of vocal facets that she has, the passion with which she sings, she is absolutely special, she is unique. I would never get bored of listening to it. thanks elizabeth for the many analyzes of nightwish and floor.
Since I discovered Nightwish 6 months ago, Floor rapidly became my favourite vocalist of all time. My favourite female vocalist used to be Stevie Nicks but unbelievably Floor displaced her.... I know, I know, they're completely different and shouldn't be judged in that way, but I think when you consider your own tastes in music you just naturally form hierarchies in your mind, and this was mine. Anyway, Floor is a machine with the most human of souls... she's the best
@@davidellinsworth22 That's right, I totally agree, she is the best.
Inner smile with her voice, that´s what I feel when I hear Floor sing, never could put it in words though.
To me Floor is the best singer around, never get tired of listening to her. And Nightwish is the best band, so perfect match :)
Thank you Elizabeth for your great and insightful reactions :)
I’m surprised you didn’t comment on Marko’s role in “the slide”. He still hits an E/F and adds a bit of grit then Floor “slides up” another octave to the D6 and brings the slide back down again.
How in sync are they!?! 👏
If you enjoy Floor with perfect onset timing watch Devlin and the Deep Dark ocean - very theatrical!
Marko ❤️🔥🤟
We miss Marko
Not to mention his range in The Phantom of the Opera, i don't know how high he got in End of an Era, maybe you could tell.... was insane either way at the end of that song
That face at 23:35 from Elizabeth just tells how much she really nerds out on musical talent!!! Peace and love y'all 🤟
"Song of Myself" is arguably her best Nightwish song. I would like to recommend her cover of M83's "Oblivion". She sings this in a tambour unlike any you have heard so far and the last word of the song drips with forlorn sadness as she sings "Goodbye..." like only Floor can.
I adore that cover from Floor your thoughts are mine. Of course anything she does is amazeing imo of course.🥰
I can't figure out what my favorite song is but Song of Myself is often on top. Maybe I miss it but I don't see many comments on it
Agreed. Song Of My Self is my favorite Floor/Nightwish combo song.
No there are a lot of better songs. Like this one
The only thing thats disappointing is you have yet to watch their greatest show which is titled "the greatest show on earth" its a long one but its definitely one of my top favorites from nightwish and its a great song to end a year off on!
FYI, it's a myth that the "devil's interval" was banned by the church. P.S. For your next Nightwish song, I think you'll enjoy Devil and the deep dark ocean :)
Finally someone. The interval has bad resolution behaviour and it's kind of hard to work with in a lot of musical styles. That's why "the devil" is in this interval.
Adam Neely has a very cool video about this topic, you should check it out!
I was planning on commenting on this specifically, and yes as Ricardo said I highly recommend Adam Neely's video on the subject.
@@stratocardo Thanks for the pointer. Just watched it. Very insightful.
@@waldmeister0815 The Devils interval is also the blue note? Sometimes "bad resolution" is exactly what you want... (a composition where everything always nicely resolves will be bland and spiceless..)
Would love to see you react to Stargazers live in Tampere (with Floor) if you can. Beautiful operatic (to my layman ears, anyway) singing over the heavy metal background throughout, much more in the style of Tarja. A song from their second record, which had been off their setlist for ten years prior.
EDIT: You mention Kai at the end - this drummer was Jukka, but I can completely understand losing track of who is performing which show. :) Both are equally incredible.
You HAVE to do "DISDAIN live at Grasspop " by Revamp ( floors 2nd band) you'll have a ball disecting that , floor pulls out all of her voices in that one .
I think "Our Days in the Sun" would be an incredible reaction, you might bawl though, since the song is a love letter to the band members parents. It's slow, melodic, and exceptionally heart felt.
Now I will know how to explain technically what a banshee scream is....
This is still one of my favorite Nightwish shows. There’s something extra special about this performance.
Romanticide is bombastically awesome
If you want Elizabeth to react to Nightwish's tribute to Pink Floyd's High Hopes at End of an Era give me a like. Also, Sleeping Sun at the same concert (End of an Era) with Tarja would be great too
There is no Kai on this piece.
The drummer is Jukka Nevalainen, Nightwish's original drummer. He is a true master behind many of the innovative rhythmic patterns and true acrobatics with his drum kit.
I would ask you to react to "Song of myself" (ruclips.net/video/lQu5QjidHWg/видео.html) where you should pay very close attention to Jukka's major role in this song with many varying rythms. Additionally, this is one those Nightwish songs, where Marco's and Floor's harmonies play a significant part in the performance in a way not heard anywhere else.
One more note on it: The second half of the song (starting at 3:45) goes from an extremely heavy-metal part towards an one-of-a-kind ending with Marco-Floor duo's hugely clever part, repeated four times just before the end. It alone makes this piece worth hearing! You will also see, that they really, *really* should have ended the song with the fourth and last repeat! The final ending coming after that is entirely superfluous.
Emmpu is a heavily underrated guitar player
I have a book of 100 best metal guitarists and while these kinds of list can be debated until the end of time I was happy to see Emppu made the top 100.
YES! thank you
Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean would be a nice one to see
The drummer here was not Kai, it was Jukka (Yooka). He was known for being a showman on the drums and giving lots of power (not to say Kai doesn't!). He was there from the beginning or early days of the band.
The best live singer for me. She has a recent version of everdream in a solo concert, it would be great we have ur reaction
Jesus, never thought I would see it again: goddess reacting to goddess👸🏻👸🏻
And for some nice vocal acrobatics from and between Marko and Floor: Buenos Aires 2018, "Devil and the deep dark ocean"! Please wear the same outfit as goddess Floor when reacting to that one.🤟
Love how much you enjoy their performance! So do I!!🤠 “Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean “
I would love for you to do Music from their current album Human :||: Nature or the acoustic version of How’s the Heart. And of course, a tea time interview with Floor is overdue!!! Love your reactions and keep up the good work.
I love the version of Dead Boy's Poem on the Decades live in Argentina. Another great song by Floor you could review. We've discovered a lot of singers and artists thanks to you.
This entire concert is a masterpiece from Floor and the entire band really... but Ever Dream is a top one for Floor. But another great one with Marco's vocals would be Ghost River
"Ever Dream" is my favorite Nightwish song, but Floor said it's the hardest song for her to sing.
I love Ghost River.
Ever Dream is a Floor belt fest!
I legitimately prefer Ever Dream on this concert to the studio recording, and that's definitely saying something.
You Should really do a After Forever Analysis where floor was very young (After Forever - Monolith Of Doubt Live)
Thanks for bringing back Nightwish, can't wait..... ^^
Nightwish - Dark Chest of Wonders
Nightwish - Last Ride of The Day
Nightwish - Slaying the Dreamer
Nightwish - Elan
Nightwish - Alpenglow
Nightwish - While your lips still red
She is a Valkyrie
I think this may be the most accurate label I've seen yet. Her voice and stage presence is something out fantasy
Floor is once in a lifetime experience. She destroyed all female singers with one smash of her voice, it can be really groovy and heavy, but also so gentle and eternall. She has YT channel with vids from her life during covid lockdowns, she is very nice, smart and down to earth so it would be so cool to have you do teatime interview with her 🙏 btw if you check her sing Last Ride of the Day from Masters of Rock, at 3:00 she does totally cool thing with voice 😊
Hi Elizabeth, I'm glad you're doing another Reaction & Analysis to a Nightwish song, and I loved this performance. The band was amazing, the chemistry between Marko and Floor was really special, and Floor's stage presence/performance was outstanding. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
Hello Elisabeth!
You've probably been asked this question 100 times already, but I'm happy to repeat it again:
When will we see you as a singer in a symphonic metal band?
You do so many reactions to metal music and I always see that you are open minded for it. You approach it without any reservations and it always pleases me to see how happy you are.
It should be possible to arrange that one of the metal ladies invites you? A duet or a song for the beginning?
That would be great!
Best ragards from germany!
Yes Floor is a valley girl. The Valley of the Queens.
On the other hand any "valley" in The Netherlands is deemed to be a trench in the rest of the world.
A Valley-halla girl 😆
Floor just released a new song from her first ever solo album called FIRE. Tell us what you think. Enjoy listening and watching you react. Thanks!
"Ever Dream" from Wacken would be amazing!
There is one song done by their original singer Tarja that could make for a very interesting reaction. "Sleeping Sun" was originally done in Tarja's more operatic style, but when it was reworked for a Greatest Hits release, she sang the vocal in a "pop" type style. It could be interesting to do both songs back to back in the same reaction to compare the techniques. It would definitely be something different to do that I've never seen any other reactor attempt. There are official videos for both versions.
I would love to see this!
Yeah! 100% agree!
Agreed!
I just finished listening to your entire Nightwish set. Oh my goodness what a band!!! Never knew of Nightwish. Thank you for introducing them to me. I grew up on Dream Theater and Queensryche (Need more of them btw!!). Nightwish reminds me of them both in ways. I must admit... I've officially been Floor-ed!!!
Theres a reason she is called the Valkerie Goddess. Heres Elizabeth reacting to Floors other works. ruclips.net/video/VxLZNCYCCA8/видео.html
Nice to see you back in the Nightwish fold.... I will suggest 2 more songs that are both Marco centric.... "While your lips are still red" with Floor doing back up and an early cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" just Marco singing but with some amazing lead guitar by Empuu. I think you will find a lot to like in both songs.... And congrat's on the new life :))
Definitely put Ever Dream from this Wacken concert on the To Do list, incredible belts from Floor there :) And as many mentioned Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires for more crazy sparing between Marko and Floor
"The Siren" by them is also stunningly wonderful.
I agree
Someday you'll have to sample some older Floor in ReVamp and After Forever (Dreamflight is amazing).
If you haven't done so, I think you'll love Ever Dream from the same concert. Marco and Floor both sounds great. It's a fan favorite! 💖☺️
I think you would love " 7 days to the wolves" at Wembley. After GLS/TPATP/GSOE, its one of my favorite Floor performance.
Why don't you interview her, Elizabeth? You've already interviewed one of the best males in Myles, so why not Floor? She's so down to earth that you'd probably become friends.
I would like to hear Floor and Elizabeth sing together. Now that I think would be Epic.
Love Myles too
You are just sooo good at these, Elizabeth. Your ability to break them down piece by piece and explain why we love these songs so much just "floors" me. (see what I did there?! 😉)
It's immensely entertaining to watch these reactions! You nail them every single time! ❤
This is DEFENETLY one of the best reactions to a Nightwish song I have EVER watched. Knowledge mixed in with genuine fangirl moments. 👍❤😁
I highly recommend checking out one of Anette's songs from Nightwish - Seven Days to the Wolves is excellent, and Cadence of Her Last Breath is also quite good. If you wanted to compare her performance one to one, you could go with the album version of Poet and the Pendulum (or a live show from when they were first touring Dark Passion Play songs - not sure if there is one out there though) -- despite being the same song, it's a very different performance on the album vs Floor's live performance.
Anette's definitely taken a backseat to Floor, and wasn't with the band very long, so you might have to go with album tracks or music videos rather than live performances, but she's the singer Nightwish had between Floor and Tarja. She doesn't have the exceptional range Floor and Tarja offer, which makes her attempts at live performances of older songs rather underwhelming, but she does very well when working with a song that's in her range.
(Side note: Nightwish's songwriting (principally Tuomas, as I understand) really handles different singers very well. Their first album, before Marko joined, is much less ambitious on the male vocals, very much singing backup for Tarja, and the shifts from Tarja to Anette to Floor for vocal lead have all been exceptionally well integrated.)
I'm not sure if it's just familiarity with the album, but I actually prefer Anette's version of a lot of the Dark Passion Play songs to Floor's. Both are definitely good, and I'm honestly not sure if it's the different singers or just the band being in a different headspace, but the album releases seem to have a lot more raw emotion to them. (And if it's the band's headspace, that's definitely a good thing. There's a lot of anger and negativity at the core of Dark Passion Play, it's very much an album of processing their feelings about the split with Tarja, and getting locked into that kind of headspace is very bad for mental health.)
DPP a really good album and suits Anette’s voice. It was my intro to the band, so I’ll always have a soft spot for it. Annette has a very “poppy” voice Tuomas knows how to wring every advantage from. I’d been wanting to hear Floor’s version of Sahara but, when I did, I wasn’t as blown away as I expected to be. Anette’s version stands up quite well.
I don’t DISLIKE the stuff with Tarja, but I tend to prefer Floor’s live performances of all those older songs. Nemo is an exception, as I don’t really find her version significantly differs from the original. Sleeping Sun, on the other hand, really suits Floor. Her version is just more emotionally expressive. IMO.
Storytime, Wacken 2013, great Floor vocals.
Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, Buenos Aires, Floor and Marco vocal gymnastics.
Song of Myself, Wacken 2013, wide, wide variety of vocals, great song.(my no.1 choice)
The nightwish concert I had planned in 2020 has now been delayed 3 times... hopefully one day in the near future I'll see them live!
That sound from Emppu's guitar at the end of the solo is a 'dive-bomb', when the guitarist pushes the whammy bar down, lowering the pitch as far as it will go. Works best with locking tremolo systems like the Floyd Rose fitted to Emppu's custom ESP.
Elizabeth.exe has stopped processing the guitar solo
I've said that Romanticide is if Metallica ( thrash ) and Pantera (Groove) had a baby.
That slide she does is fantastic. She is absolutely the best. Very few can sing like that live.
