One of my hobbies is see reactions on youtube about this performance....
Yes, this is becoming a popular hobby.
Mine too 🤣
Me too
And there's another good react to watch: Fairy Tales - Shaman
Yep, same here.
I feel u, bro.
"if i stopped it there it wouldve been blasphemy"
Me: good man
no more words to say!
Eeyup!
YUP
Yeah I saw him look at the keyboard and thought 'Don't you dare touch that pause'...
Indeed, one simply does not interrupt the Floor-gasm
"I wanted to stop it there, but it would have been blasphemy." Finally! A man who understands! One does not simply stop the crescendo of Ghost Love Score on a first watch. You listen to it play out, and then you go back to try and parse out how it was done(always failing to do it justice, because this is one of the wonders of the world).
Alex Hefner didn’t stop he was too much in a trance to do anything tbh
Mike Goodrich: She can sing anything!
All Floor Fans: That's why we love her!
Mike Goodrich: My new favorite band!
Me: Welcome to the Nightwish Army.
''Ok this woman does everything'' yep
And he hasn't heard her growl yet!
@@deed5811 oh yes , he is starting the journey ,let him hear more 4 or 5 songs ,then we talk .
Floor Jansen as well as Nightwish have been kicking ass for over 2 decades.
@@midnight-2021 LOL-Oh well another "Floorgasm" Next victim please Her name is "Y"annsen-
There are a lot of fans of this band here so let me ask. Do you know the reason for her departure from the band?
There are a ton of reactions where they say they are a vocal coach or teacher or whatever, but this gentleman is very insight with deep analysis. You sir know what you are talking about please react more to nightwish, unleash the archers, jinjer, trees of eternity, arch enemy whoever. These are all female fronted metal bands that have revived the genre over the last 5 to 10 years. Thank you I really enjoyed your video.
Most of those voice teachers are very young...
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'll listen to all your suggestions!
You just know when they start geeking on the technical stuff. Best example: Sam Johnson.
yes to all of those suggestions!
@@MikeGoodrich Note: before listening to Poet and the pendulum, do a research before you react to it. There is a deep meaning and you'll apreciate it more. Oh, and keep the lyrics at hand.
I have grown up with Nightwish. Shout out from Finland!
Very good reaction! Subscribed.
His reaction face is the cutiest so far.
Her stage precence is almost just as magnetic as Freddy Mercury. She's a Dutch Queen 😉😃👌
Goddess ! ;)
Yup Freddy was a bit of a queen too.
soundmstr Fred was unique but yes I see what you mean
Yeah, almost, Freddy was able to play with the audience like no one else, but she is close!
I believe you would really appreciate Floor singing Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort on Beste Zangers. Ohhh Myyy. I'd love to see your stunned reaction to that one 😁
Or any of her performances on Beste Zangers
Definitely would recommend ALL of her performances from the "Beste Zangers" show, as it is a very good way to see both her range in music styles and her natural, effortless command of stage presence.....she sings everything from classical opera in German for "Villia led" to much more pop genre with "shallow", as well as songs in Dutch and Spanish
Thank you I'll look at it soon!
@@jpetersonphotos3745 Or any of the performances on Beste Zangers. They're all pretty good, not just Floor :P My second favourite after PotO is Vivo per Lei with Henk Poort and Emma Heesters. Great performance.
Eu sou bem humorista por ti 😄
Great reaction. Btw. that last note has a name, Floorgasm™.
That's awesome!! I can see why!!
I dare to argue that the floorgasm is in no way exclusive to that note, as many notes sung by floor induce the floorgasm👍🤘
There are at least 3 seperate Floorgasms in this performance alone... For me anyway it's not always about the high notes (although they're damned incredible). The staccatos around 13:28 are absolutely incredible vocal control and, like the man mentioned, the instant flick between angelic operatic to heavy metal near growl is the best kind of whiplash...
@@dbutcher84 There's a new term. "Floorgy" xD
@@Μάρκους_Οβίδιος That sounds like a quickie instead of the full experience. But to your desperate need that will give first aid, yeah :)
Well, OK the term would fit to describe a perfect song from her, having multiple things happening: including but not limiting to the 'conventional' Floorgasms.
Spasms of ecstasy rolling after Floored - soeraF
"God created music and said it was good....."
"Then he created Nightwish and he smiled for it was great....."
"Then God created Floor Jansen and he dropped the mic...."
"For he had created Perfection"
The only mistake you might be able to fault him, is that he put Floor in After Forever first, then Re-Vamp, before he put Nightwish en Floor together. But as a Dutchie, I don't see that as a fault at all.
While this is amazing, I love the duets between floor and tarja. And i truly wish we could get anette in there. The three, together, would be truly a powerful force to be reckoned with.
@Synth Wolfe , I don’t agree with you there , Floor and Tarja , yes please ! Anette is a lousy singer , I heard her live unfortunately, I spend a fortune then for a lousy live performance.
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!! A-FRICKING-MENNNNNN!!!!!!!!!
Floor has a voice that leads sailors to their doom, and i wouldnt mind being one of em'.⛵
Best comment.
Best comment ever. As a sailor, I FCKIN COMPLY
I am playing this song at midnight in my next night regatta. For sure
She is a Siren, here she sings a lot of sailors to their doom, it is a video-collage but I believe the sound is one and the same track: Nightwish - Siren (with Floor Jansen) ruclips.net/video/U24tOCJBBIQ/видео.html
Knowing when not to stop is something that is lost on a lot of reaction channels. So many just pause it whenever they have a thought, or worse, talk through it. It's always nice to watch a video from someone who doesn't just want to analyse the vocals, but is actually reading what is happening.
can you believe this is only one song before the final song of the show they played that night and she STILL sings like this after however many songs?! she's stunningly talented
15:08 And that expression right there, is what some folks calls the "floorgasm"
"The Greatest Show On Earth" live in Tampere is so epic!!!
Thank you!!
Hello @ Mike Goodrich! Nightwish Army incoming here, your reaction just appeared on our radar..
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band with Floor Jansen as a lead singer, performing in Wacken Open Air 2013, in front of 82k+ metal fans. Very interesting analysis, subsribed for that.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, I'll give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan:
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "

Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
Sup gab
@@KricSmith hey, was up Boogie Tyme? How's it going?
@@KricSmith :) Sup Boogie
Why do I cringe a little every time I see this comments first couple sentences? No hate, just honest. But the context post cringe sentences are great! Stay floored..... that’s my cringe back at ya. 🤪
Comments like this are so annoying. It seems most Nightwish fans are super excited teenagers that just go crazy when someone listens to their favorite band.
Nightwish Army is here!) Thank you for your reaction and analysis, cannot agree more! Welcome to the world of Symphonic Metal!
Floor "Yansen" is the right way to pronounce, she is Dutch ;)
Floor has classical background, rock academy behind, and used to be a vocal coach for a number of years. Floor is the most versatile and powerful female singer today and can sing anything from more pop-y style, classic opera, to metal screams and growls. Floor is a queen of singing emotions.
A little bit of info on the band for you:
Floor joined Nightwish in the middle of their Imaginaerum world tour in late 2012 (which includes this show from August 2013). Previous singer, Anette Olzon (she's currently in Dark Element) left the band while they were touring, and there was no certainty what to do with all the upcoming shows. They called Floor (her previous band did tour with NW in the past, and they knew each other). Floor flew immediately to help them out and temporarily replace Anette for the rest of the world tour. She arrived two days before the next show, and she had only 48 hours to learn the entire setlist. And she did. There is official documentary about all that -- "PLEASE LEARN THE SETLIST IN 48 HOURS" ( ruclips.net/video/vhExkmWKMEU/видео.html )
For Floor it was first really big gig with Nightwish, 82K people, at the time she was only for a few months with the band. After the world tour (in October 2013), they made Floor their official member. This song was performed at the end of 90min show, at the 1hr 10min mark.
Nightwish formed in '96 in Finland, initially with Tarja (Tar-ya) Turunen as a vocalist. She left the band in 2005, and Anette Olzon stepped in, until 2012.
The bassist with a cool beard is Marco, and he sings some parts too. He has his own solo project outside the Nightwish.
The mastermind behind 99% of lyrics and music is a keyboardist Tuomas.
Guitarist name is Emppu, and the drummer in this show is Jukka (Yukka), but later he was replaced by Kai Hahto because of health issues.
Flutes/uilleann pipes/guitar/vocals - Troy, he did not perform in this song.
Nightwish is better live, always, so if live performance is available, go for it. In their performances, they often using recorded backtrack of a classical orchestra for their songs.
They have very diverse music, from more light songs to epic scores like this, and to really heavy metal stuff.
For the next Nightwish experience, I can suggest listening to:
-- Storytime from the same Wacken 2013 live ( ruclips.net/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/видео.html )
-- for move heavy: Ghost River, Song Of Myself, both from Wacken 2013 also ( ruclips.net/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/видео.html ) ( ruclips.net/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/видео.html )
-- If you want to explore more Floor versatility, check out her performances on a TV show Beste Zangers in 2019: (Lady Gaga's Shallow for ex.) ( ruclips.net/video/M68pe4a_9zk/видео.html )
And a little bit more links that shows Floor's vocal diversity:
Acoustic ("stripped down" vocals): How's The Heart ( ruclips.net/video/yYtkPpFYzOo/видео.html )

Greetings from Moscow and stay safe! ;) Looking forward to seeing more NW on your channel! Really enjoyed it! ;)
Yeh, hardly any languages use the J sound. Whenever I see it in a non-English word I will always presume it is Y.
Well, she is good and versatile but I doubt that she is better or more versatile than Mariah Carey in a direct comparison.

Post the thing!
He did the thing!
At least he's not another fake "coach".
Uhh, what bro? You need something to do, get off youtube.
@@michaelnovakov9335 no worries mate we'll just go take the whole family to the shops. Think they'll mind that we don't have masks?
Your facial expressions are so...transparent. You cannot hide your enjoyment, and that's a good thing. I can see how much you are enraptured by music.
Storytime is another theatrical song.
The best
He's gonna love the middle part of that song, its so epic!
and really fun.
You Sir, would definitely Love from Wacken ´13: "Romanticide", "Storytime", "Wish I Had An Angel" or from Live @ Wembley: "Poet And The Pendulum", "7 Days To the Wolves" and of course "Your´s Is An Empty Hope"..

And Floor Jansen's Beste Zangers performances, especially "Shallow", "Vilja Lied" and "The Phantom of the Opera (feat. Henk Poort)"!!!
Thanks for the great suggestions and info!!
@@MikeGoodrich Thank YOU for your amazing reaction! Looking forward to more!
Epica!!!!!!!
@ 11:56 "this woman does everthing..." --> Floor Jansen: "The Swiss Army Knife of Singing"
"Ok.. this woman can do everthing" brought a big smile to my face.
Wait until you hear her growl, though. That's next level. :D
and until she makes you cry. ☺
It's funny how you mentioned Ann Wilson. Floor did a cover of Heart's song Alone with her first band After Forever. Tbh, I like Floor version better that the original but that's just my opinion.
ruclips.net/video/EpxOKueE-_0/видео.html Floor's cover of Alone
Now it's time to give you a little background about Floor. She started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She also studied musical theatre and a year of opera. Floor has been a vocal coach herself since 2003. She's a soprano. In my opinion, the thing that makes her stand out from other singers in this genre is her versatility. She can sing opera, belt, growl. I'd recommend this for your next reaction:
ruclips.net/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/видео.html (OUT OF THIS WORLD BELTING) Ever Dream 2013 Wacken
I prefer the Kristianstad 2013 live version, by Floor.
Wow, thank you so much!!
Can we please have Tuomas arrange Alone?
Mike Goodrich Yes! The Kristianstan Live version of “Alone” is just incredible. I recall a few years back that Ann Wilson herself commented on how amazing it was.
@@MikeGoodrich
Thank you for the reaction. Please react to Diana Ankudinova - River. ruclips.net/video/35Dwo4QVLqs/видео.html I am sure, you will be surprised. It is very interesting and theatrical.
Excellent reaction Mike. Get ready... 😲 Here comes the Nightwish Army! 💯
Next songs to do, Romanticide, Storytime, Song of myself all from Waken 2013. Let's go!
She's perfection.
Was anyone else waiting with baited breath at the end, saying don't do it, don't pause it!!
Excellent breakdown sir just a heads up, the Nightwish Army is headed your way.
Thank you for actually commenting on it. I love learning about this and what notes are being hit. I also appreciate that you acknowledge the stage presence and its affect on the performance. I look forward to your lessons on it!!
Thank you for your kind words!!
I'm sure the Nightwish Army's heralds (Gabriel or Ann) will come soon with many recommandations. About Floor with Nightwish, for more belting, you could check "Ever Dream" (Wacken 2013) and for a softer song "Dead Boy's Poem" (Buenos Aires 2018). You should also check Marco, the other singer of the group, in "The Islander" (Tampere 2015) or "While Your Lips Are Still Red" (Wembley 2015). For Floor out of Nightwish, check all her performances from the Dutch TV show "Beste Zangers 2019", from "Vilja Lied" (from the Merry Widow) to "Phantom Of The Opera" (Nightwish version with the opera singer Henk Poort) passing by "Shallow" (from A Star is Born). On the same show you'll find other interesting stuff : "Sound of Silence" (Henk Poort), "Vivo Per Lei" (Henk Poort + Emma Heesters : for me the best duet of the show) , "Hotel California" (salsa version by Rolf Sanchez), "Solo Otra Vez" (spanish version of "All By Myself" by Rolf Sanchez), etc...
PS: about beautiful duet, why not "Within Temptation and Metropole Orchestra - Somewhere" (Sharon Den Adel and Anneke Van Giersbergen) ?
PPS: also many things in the new Nightwish's new album "HUMAN. :||: NATURE." : for instance the acoustic version of "How's The Heart" at Planet Rock.
I've been suffering from anxiety and depression for the past three years or so, and have to say Nightwish music with Floor's vocals have helped me a lot, used to listen to them here and there with their previous vocalists, amazing women really, however, Floor was/is the one who help ease my fears, my anxiety goes down and my mind gets more clear just listening to her voice, my gorgeous Valkyrie Queen
You really are a music teacher! I love it when you said she reminds you of Ann Wilson... I was so happy you did not say Evanescence! 👍❤️
Olivia Nazareno agree, Ann Wilson can belt it out.
Great reaction. Floor Jansen is a pretty interesting vocalist because of the way she uses her voice. She makes extensive use of dynamics, a wide array of vocal colours, and shading and ornamentation within those vocal colours to communicate the story and emotions of the songs she performs. She also continuously works to expand her vocal toolkit by adding new things she can do. A few video recommendations for you that showcase various technical aspects of her singing (rather than just being fan favourites):
Nightwish - Dead Boy's Poem live from Buenos Aires 2018 ( ruclips.net/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/видео.html ) is a great performance for showing Floor's ability to almost continuously alter her vocal configuration to smooth out the transitions between vocal colours.
Nightwish - How's the Heart live acoustic for Planet Rock ( ruclips.net/video/yYtkPpFYzOo/видео.html ) is another great one for showing Floor's ability to shift various aspects of her vocal configuration in real time. Also shows her deliberately using some pretty challenging configurations to achieve certain stylistic effects. It's a very technically demanding song to perform live in an acoustic format.
Nightwish - Your's is an Empty Hope live from the Nightwish Cruise ( ruclips.net/video/XtXqUNB8zrU/видео.html ) Floor shows off her ability to do a false cord growl (it's her growling in the chorus) and some pretty hardcore distortion.
And since everyone is going to start requesting her performance of Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort, I will mention now that she does some really interesting stuff with her approach to that song. She moves the first section up to soften it dynamically, she uses flicks into other vocal timbres for ornamentation at points, she does much of the verses in a quasi-classical mixed voice with vibrato rather than head voice, and in the crescendo she deliberately starts slightly quiet on the first note to give her room to go up in volume as well as pitch at each step for dynamics. It's pretty cool.
Thank so much for your great suggestions and awesome comment!
Speaking of Ann Wilson, you guessed that one right, Floor is a fan indeed. Watch her sing this cover of ‘Alone’ on the Nightwish cruise. ruclips.net/video/OI2sojuvnrY/видео.html
She’s gonna do it, she’s gonna do it! 😉
Awesome, thank you!!
@@MikeGoodrich You’re welcome! 😉 Btw. I liked your approach. Looking forward to the next reaction!
I will watch that as soon as I'm done here. Anne was very important to me as a kid.
Floor is a force of nature live! She's extremely powerful and has an amazing stage presence. She's also a voice coach herself 😊
I've seen many, MANY vocal coach reactions to Ghost Love Score and Floor in general and you, my good sir, have become my favorite (Right next to Rebecca from Rebecca Vocal Athlete). You both actually teach us about techniques and singer abilities, not just how pretty they sing. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
RVA is so cute and quirky, love to watch her.
You should check out Floor Jansen on a Dutch reality show beste zangers 2019, it shows all the different styles Floor can do, awesome awesome thanks 😊 and different languages.
Her Phantom Of The Opera is incredible, especially as she's singing the song with the man who WAS the most notorious 'Phantom' in Netherlands.
Every song Floor did whether solo or duet was just AMAZING
Alright I listened tons of tons of reaction videos and Vocal coaches, opera singers, metal musicians etc. and you are the one of the 2 person i followed. Just because of the great explaining and "not showing of" attitude. You can easily see this guy knows tons more than others but just giving the proper information. Right information in the right time. Amazing. The other channel i follow is Chase Carneson, i am not trying do advertisement or something, just showing my respect for two of you.
I was a trained singer and musician for twenty years, and I agree 100%
Here and chase are the only two I watch for actual musicianship and technical critiques.
I just recently found Chase's channel. WOW, he and Mike make the music more interesting.
Same here... Chase is awesome
I really appreciate your kind words!! Thank you...(-:
Our reactor
Mike Goodrich is an old school rock n' roller. He analyzes the vocals with knowledge, passion, and humbleness. He is in my top 10 good reactors list now.
“My Fall will be for you” is what she’s singing.... 15:00 the Floorgasm brings yet another convert to the family !! 😁 Welcome Brother. You’re one of us now. Just FYI, that’s about 70 minutes into the show and Floor had been killin’ it the whole way already. Also, that’s 82 THOUSAND people hanging on her every word; so, no pressure on her to Bury that (9 second long)high note.... At 6’1 and 170 pounds Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie; and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again. I love watching these reaction videos and my biggest hope is that people follow and enjoy the Symphonic Metal path I was led to. Welcome to it.
💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙

Wow, thank so much John! This is a real help to me! And indeed, I'm in the army now!!
This is the first 'vocal teacher' reaction I've seen that actually was informative while entertaining, well done Mike. You manage to break down the technicalities in a way that lets us all enjoy it, even if a little bit at your level. Keep it up.
Great analysis to this epic performance by Nightwish. The whole Wacken 2013 show is excellent. Floor is immensely technical and very versatile singer. She can sing everything and has a huge charisma. Thank you and Greetings from Finland!
Greetings and thank you for your kind words!
Nice reaction! GLS is the most reacted to song, in the history of music video reactions. A bit ahead of Jinger Pisces. FYI:There were 82,000+ in the audience that night. It is the 13th of 15 songs that NW performed that night. I would recommend either 'Ever Dream' or 'Storytime'from the same concert for your next Nightwish reaction.
Floor is the 3rd and still current female lead singer of Nightwish (est. 1996) She had been with the band for little over 10 months at the time of this concert on 03 August 2013. She started performing in her first Metal Band, After-Forever at the age of 16. After that band disbanded, she started her own band called Revamp. Which was on hiatus, when she received a call from Nightwish to take over the female lead singing duties mid-tour. The rest is herstory.
This picture never gets old: Juuka banging on his TAMA set, Emppu shredding his ESP EV-1, Marco creating magic lines on his Warwick Buzzard and Tuomas unleashing his genius on his KORGs. And of course Floor mesmerizing like a siren....epic is an understatement.
This just came up on my recommendations but you haven’t heard everything she can do until Yours is an Empty Hope. Great analysis and welcome to the Nightwish army😄
When you started going "She reminds of...", I was getting ready for the E word, but then you said Ann Wilson, and "saved" the rest of my day. And yes, I do realize, you probably have no clue about what I'm talking.
Oh no mention of Amy you mean :)
@@colingreengrass6751 I think you have that right. . . . . . . . .
Haha! Thanks so much!!
HAHAHAHAHA! Good comment
Don't be hatin on evanescence dude. Lol
Welcome to the rabbithole that is Nightwish, you have so much to look forward to and there are not really any songs you can go wrong with.
wide open eyes, big open mouth, in total disbelief, in total trance, goosebumps all over and shivers down the spine... everytime you hear this... it´s interesting but that has a name, it´s a FLOORGASM
Mike,
I'm 60 this year and I also overlooked Nightwish.
First thing...her name is Floor Jansen (pron Yan Sen)
I have fallen absolutely head over heels for this band and sound.
Always been a fan of orchestral rock, going back to early ELO and Kansas.
These guys starting with Tuomas (too omas),
Emppu, Marko, Jukka (you ka), Troy and Floor are on another plane.
Formed in 96, the lead singing has evolved from their original singer Tarja (tar ya) to Annette (u net ta) to the current holder Floor.
In my opinion, Floor owns that role.
She had heighth, width, depth, color, texture and emotional range that can't be matched.
I believe it is her role to quit. I don't believe she could be replaced with a talent equal to hers.
My opinion only...
Request for next reaction...
Ever Dream
But as you'll find, anything from the 2013 Wacken (VA Ken) concert will blow you away.
Welcome to the Army!
Oh sir, you've just barely scratched the surface. Floor is the principal singer, but is many times backed up by the bassist Marco, and Troy (multi-instrumentalist, not seen in this song). The keyboardist Tuomas writes most of the material. Their work goes from heavy metal, to symphonic metal, to rock, to folk, many times in the same song! BTW, my bucket list dream is to have her and Dimash sing a few duets together in concert. I think the stage might just melt from such greatness together, lol.
Now that you have got the Nightwish "gateway song" done, when you are ready, you can try almost any song from the Wacken Concert (of which this is a part of). Recommended songs would be "Storytime" "Yours is an Empty Hope" "7 Days to the Wolves", "Nemo". Longer pieces from other concerts would be "pit and the pendulum", "the greatest show on earth" (Tampere, and to get the full experience, watch through the end credits) and "the islander (Marco principle singer). Nightwish studio songs are good, but as you can see, they are just incredible live. Good luck on your continued foray sir. You won't be disappointed.
the song is the poet and the pendulum. this is the only song you need to do research to fully get this song. it is a wonderful song but not just a song from nightwish.
Thank you for all that great info! I look forward to digging deeper!! (-:
@@MikeGoodrich regarding Floor Jansen (Yansen) her "range" is "Oh mio babbino caro" (Puccini Arie) or Phantom of the opera to growling (yours is an empty home Live from Wembley 2015 is the best version IMO)
@@MikeGoodrich yes
Poet and pendulum is heavy, sad for reasons, read behind the song before watching, and watch the live version with lyrics
Welcome to the world of Nightwish and symphonic metal! I loved your reaction! I hope you do more Nightwish!
Army is coming and you will get lot of info about the band and background :)
You just saw a portion of Floor's cababilities, there is more coming for sure if you stay in the train :D
This Wacken 2013 show is just amazing and there is much more for you to react, but i'll give you few recommendations from this same concert:
Romanticide
Storytime
Song of Myself
Ever Dream
I Wish I Had An Angel
Ghost River
These are good ones to get started, it shows a little bit how much diversity there is. And you get to hear Marko (bass/vocals/guitar), he is a stunning vocalist too.
They really don't have 2 songs that sounds the same and Tuomas creating these songs is just a genius to do it so it does not get repetitive.
So hop in the train, buckle up and enjoy the ride! There is a huge amount to watch/react with Nightwish/Floor and all of those are fantastic.
And i suggest you stay with Live performances, Nightwish is one of the bands that really shines when live! Army will help you to find right versions :)
Greetings from Finland!
I will never get tired of people getting their first Floorgasm, great, thoughtful reaction.
The look of pure joy on your face as you listen to this is just precious :D
Great reaction, good balance between providing expert commentary and sharing your experience listening to this song for the first time. Looks like the Nightwish army is en route with their spark notes'ed histories of the band members which is great, there are so many Nightwish songs that benefit from know some back story.
People will be throwing a whole ton of "next songs" at you, and you really can't go wrong with what you pick next. With that said, I'll leave here my own "highlights" for some of the most common Nightwish song requests:
-- from the Wacken 2013 show:
Romanticide: much more of a "regular" metal song, mostly showcases Floor's mix/rock voice versatility and range. Some awesome parts involving her and another band member on vocals!
Everdream: another "regular" metal song. IMO, this is the best showcase of the raw, explosive power of Floor's voice. One of my personal favorite songs of theirs. Plus more amazing work by the other Nightwish vocalist!
Storytime: one of their catchier songs, similar format to everdream or romanticide but with more symphonic elements. Another showcase of Floor's absurd vocal versatility and her preternatural stage presence. another personal fave.
Dark Chest of Wonders: the opening song of their Wacken set, this song kicks ass. Features Floor effortlessly and rapidly switching between head/mix/chest voice.
-- from other shows
Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley 2016): I can't say enough good things about this song and this performance. it's a masterpiece, the magnum opus of the bands writer/composer (the keyboardist, Thomas), and a one-stop-shop of almost all of Floor's skills and talents, especially her ability to communicate emotion with her voice and her stage presence. There are multiple parts of this song where Floor's voice is, literally, *breathtaking* . This is also a very dark song, deeply intertwined with the history of the band and Tuomas' personal life. You absolutely must react to this song, but I'd personally recommend circling back to this one after you've watched a few more Wacken videos and gotten to know the band a bit more. Definitely *do* find the lyrics version of the Wembley performance (uploaded by some random RUclipsr/Nightwish fan, it's just the official video of the Wembley performance with on screen subtitles for all the lyrics + each of the movements in the piece) and read up on the backstory of the song (which I'm sure someone in the Nightwish army will helpfully provide in the comments).
Greatest show on earth (Tampere, 2015(?)): Another magnum opus-type composition from Tuomas. Another one where you'll want to do a bit of research beforehand and try to pay attention to the lyrics. Not nearly as dark or as personal as poet and the Pendulum but still worth investing in the backstory and lyrics to get the most out of the performance. Featuring probably the most purely opera-like vocals that floor has done.
Yours is an empty hope (some show they did on a cruise or something? Circa 2016): so you listened to romanticide and were like, "Floor can do heavy metal vocals?! Wow, now I've really seen everything! Is there any vocal style she can't do?" The answer is no. She can do it *all*. Even death growls.
I can hear the Nightwish Army coming =D Great reaction! Could you react to Nightwish - Ghostriver -Wacken 2013, please? The bassist Marco Hietala sings in that song too. He is a great singer
Yes!!
Thank you so much! I'll listen to it soon! (-:
FLOOR is MAGNIFICENT.✨🔥💥😍💯
"Five mistakes floor makes when she is singing"
That is a great video title. The rage clicks will just be flooding in
First so called "voice teacher" reacting to this amazing song i seen that acts and talks like an actual voice teacher, loved your reaction sir, good job, will suscribe no doubt
My other favorite reactor that actually feels like a voice coach is Ken Lavigne. Worth looking up. A very humble man. Love his content
"My fall, will be for...you." First time I saw this performance, heard the words, and it killed me.
You stroke a nerve right there..as far as I'm concerned, when you said 'she reminds me of my favorite rock&roll singer of all times'...I really wasn't expecting you to name Ann Wilson..but you did..and my mouth dropped wide open...This is the first time I hear somebody comparing Floor Jansen to Ann Wilson, and you Sir. dared to say what I've been thinking all this time, but that I never enunciated in words, just because of all the many bricks and stones that would be coming my way from Anne's detractors...That's right.. Someone had to say it, and I'm glad you did..Ann Wilson deserves to be recognized for what she gave us, in the history of rock&roll, particularly through the twentieth century, the same way now Floor is giving us perhaps the greatest female vocalist this century so far has seen..
Thank you very much!
Just because of that seemingly unavailing observation, but which means really a lot, I'm hitting the SUBSCRIBE button after finishing this comment.
And you're right..Stopping the video in the middle of the last section at the end, would've been sacrilegious 🙂 ..I probably wouldn't even be typing this comment now LOL
Again thank you..Good job! 👍
3:30 I agree 100% with everything he said at this point. Lots of people talks about her voice wich is awesome, of course, but her stage presence, her movements, her face expressions... is all spot on. As he said even before she start singing your eyes are stuck at her. And it is like that for the whole song. It just out of this world.
Eh, everyone's first time is some time. It's nice that you came around and gave it an opportunity. You are a kind man.
Floor's favorite song is from Heart, "How Do I Get You Alone". She does a cover of this which is absolutely amazing.
Floor had 48 hours to learn the whole set for the Wacken concert & she nailed it. Notice, when she hits that magical high note, arm in the air, the guitar player runs across the stage behind her to the pianist. Actually watch all the band interactions throughout. They're so blown away by her 1st performance with them. Loved your reaction. 👍
She'd actually been with them 10 months by this time
It should be a law that every music/voice teacher has to make a reaction video to Nightwish. Can't be very many of them left that haven't already......
But seriously, thank you for a great reaction to an amazing song. Personally, my fav nightwish songs are "Elan", "10th Man Down", "Walden", and of course "Ghost Love Score".
Thank you!!
Great reaction Teach. Congrats on having your first Floorgsm, many more to come if you do more Nightwish. Don't think you can avoid it once the Army arrives. Air control, open mouth, round clean vowels, power up high, transitions. When you break it down on Friday it will be a " How To Class " on singing. No time under a rock, how about in a cave ? Thanks enjoyed your comments, be well.
Everytime I listen to this song with her singing, her voice brings me to tears, she's just so good! I really enjoyed your reaction and somewhat more professional input and dissection of her performance than other people doing reactions to this song.
Every time I watch this video I see Floor standing on that stage in front of 80k+ people cheering "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!", rallying the Nightwish Army. Because you've posted this reaction you can almost hear them marching this way. Don't worry...they're a good group. :)
If you love the theatrics take some time to watch Nightwish - Greatest Show on Earth, even if you don't do a reaction video of it. Tuomas, the keyboard player, is the mastermind behind most of Nightwish's music and GSoE is right up there as one of their best songs.
Last year, Floor covered a song on a tv show by a Spanish songwriter, in Spanish, which she doesn't speak, in front of the guy, in a different style than the original, and he gave her a standing ovation for her performance. I've listened to a lot of music but she's a different breed than anything I've heard.
This was FUN watching you smile through the whole thing !!! I hope you will continue to explore ALL of their Amazing LIVE videos, and try "Song of Myself". It and all their songs are Epic, exciting, heartfelt, mystical, and Magical ! Such a talented group of people who absolutely love what they do ❤️ and sit at the TOP of their game .... leaving most of my lifetime favorite bands behind ( sorry to say). Welcome to the world of Nightwish and to the NIGHTWISH Army that follows ! Best wishes from Tennessee USA ❤️.
Thanks Gayle! It was easy to smilie. (-: I appreciate your kind words and suggestion! Can't wait to hear more of them. (-:

Damn dude you went all out
I just love watching people falling in love with Floor :)
I love seeing the expressions of pure joy when people witness the siren Goddess performing this masterpiece, it never gets old and never will.
I have already seen hundreds of reactions and I always feel the same energy and goosebumps. No other song can do this. Nice video, laddie.
I love how you had a big smile on your face throughout the entire performance! That's what music is all about. Great reaction, I'd love to see you react to & analyse more Nightwish. It's an incredible band with more than one incredible singer. They are super versatile, you haven't seen anything yet! It's a band that ignores the existence of genres. I love that about them. For a different gear I recommend "Romanticide" or for more theatrics "Storytime", or for belting "Ever Dream", all from the same concert, Wacken2013. Oh and Floor would surely love that comment about Ann Wilson!
As much as I love hearing Floor sing, I often enjoy her technical aspects even more. Have a watch of her Phantom of the Opera duet with Henk Poort. One could write an entire masters thesis on her performance there. The camera does a great job of capturing every nuance of her jaw and mouth positioning, to be able to vocally do what most only dream of.
Nightwish brought me here, of course. Congratulations, you just hit the jackpot. You could do months of Floor and Nightwish reactions and not get bored.
Great reaction man! May I suggest Romanticide, Ghost River, Seven Days to the Wolves and Storytime for a few other songs by them? A rule of thumb with Nightwish is to go for the official live version whenever possible. Stay well and healthy!
Thanks so much for the advice!
This was one of the absolute best analysis and explanation of Floor's voice and techniques. Thank you!!!
Thank you!!
I have listened to this song a thousand times, so you would think I'd be used to it, but the end of this particular performance by Floor Jansen literally moved me to tears.
It’s called symphonic metal......glad you discovered them finally. I discovered them about six months ago and felt the same way.....how did I miss them? Thing is....how did I miss this whole genre? I’m 73 and a Zeppelin/Pink Floyd gal, but this band and Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen) got added to my list of top favorites. She is indeed one of the most versatile, emotive and powerful female voices on the planet right now. Agree with you about Wilson. Love her covers of Zeppelin songs.
Wait till you hear her growl ! 'Yours is an empty hope 'at Wembley. Welcome to the rollercoaster that is Nightwish and the world of Floor Jansen.
That was fun and interesting to watch. Subscribed because I am curious to see how your continued Nightwish journey goes.
How come you have not known about this band before? Well, it is with split emotions that we here in Europe (Ireland for myself) make you in the US aware of the existence of this band. There is a great risk that it will create a demand for more tours and concerts in the US, and that will reduce the time available for Nightwish tours and concerts here in Europe. Ah well, I guess the cat is out of the box now, we just have to make the best of it. Looking forward to more Nightwish reactions (and maybe some Unleash The Archers. They are from Canada, with a female vocalist).
Cheers / B.
That concert was 1:38 long and she was belting out songs for one hour and ten minutes before this song and then a couple after it. She took one song off around the 46 minute mark to change, she started the concert in long leather pants. Her voice was perfect the whole time, even did a little growling in Ghost River.
15:12 That was his FLOORGASM! :)
Congratulations & Greetings from Switzerland!
She's indeed a huge Anne Wilson fan. She's even covered Alone a few times
You can really hear the Anne Wilson influence in "winner" I really got a Heart impression on that song
Since you are interested in the vocal technique, in addition to analyzing Floor's approach, the band's original vocalist Tarja was also also classically trained and also had a fascinating voice too. Give her a listen with the song "Walking in the Air": ruclips.net/video/AaWPduHl_j8/видео.html or maybe a little of her beautiful singing in Finnish in Kuolema tekee Taiteilijan: ruclips.net/video/YM9rJ6_x4BA/видео.html
Tara is opera trained, not classical.
I've got to say, where you do your pauses to discuss what you just heard, are FANTASTIC. A lot of vocal coach react videos, they pause so frequently, that you can't really enjoy the music they're reacting to. Haha. You've got to be one of the best reactors i've ever seen. Not to mention the knowledge you bring to the table. Utterly incredible videos. Huge fan here!
i must have watched this music video a couple of dozen times and that last note still gets me every time, the only other time ive been 'Floored' like that was when i went to my first Airshow and a Eurofighter flew in directly above me, that was one hell of a sound, and physical feeling, so it says something about Floor that she matched that for me
You're such a gentleman and you can explain complex concepts using simple words! Love your reaction!!! Greetings from Italy!!!!
Dude, clear your calendar for the next few weeks. This is just the tip of the Nightwish Iceberg.
The Nightwish army will be watching.
Thanks for the advice!!
Voice teacher gets to hear one of the best female vocalists on the planet.. results in priceless looks.
It always makes me happy when I see how Mike gets happy while listening to great voices. Such a genuine smile, thank you, Mike.
The best voice teacher reactions are the ones that actually explain the specific notes the singer is hitting. Thanks Mike!
I've seen ALOT of reaction-videos of this song and I can say that your reaction is the best so far! 👏
You seem to know what you're talking about and you don't interupt or stop the video in bad places and then your reaction overall, to see your face when i know whats coming 😂👏
Wow, thank you! I appreciate your kind words!
Love the big smile on your face while watching the musical Goddess, Floor. :)

I've seen many reactions and analysis of this song, and yours is definitely one of my favorites. That was absolutely great!
Please react to Jinjer - Pisces (live session), and Tool - Sober (live 1993)
POET AND PENDULUM is a MUST !!!!
also, please research about the background of this particular song before you reacted on it.
It's my favorite song and i hope you like it as well.
Use the video with the lyrics !!
I don't think that Poet and the Pendulum is the best at this point. The Greatest show on earth is better.
@@sa3342 GSOE ia also 'better' when you know the story & inspiration behind it, imho. ☺
I've watched literally hundreds of Nightwish videos and reactions but you sir, have the most respect for the huge accomplishment of this band and especially Floor in this instance, combined with knowledge without pausing every friggin time the Floorgasm is about to occur so thank you for that and thumbs up for this reaction video. Keep it up and welcome to the Nightwish army ;)
This must be the the 50th or so reaction video I watch of this song, but it's the only one where I hit the subscription button. Sounds like this channel has a lot of valuable content that I can learn from.
