Ari Koivunen - Fullmoon

[@TheSunMoon]

Only in Finland, that metal singers are not laughed at, during these Idols show. It's like a Fantasy Island, therefore I must go there one day!

[@Crytica.]

+TheSunMoon \m/

[@keshlalish5586]

canada, especially quebec had a signer on the voice that go in with a song from a death metal band (think it's a death metal band)

[@SidneiVermundes]

I'm from Brazil And I agree

[@gpelow]

Han Solo at the fuckin' drums! !! Respect! The force be With you!

[@otrophil]

The drummer is called Sami Kuoppamäki and he had already played session drums for Stratovarius and Apocalyptica so, yeah, he surely enjoyed it.

[@carrickbend6184]

lol if the rest of the world played stuff like sonata arctica in their idols shows, the world would be a better place

[@DerHeXxeN]

+1

[@elias-zi3bd]

+Carrick Bend Point for you:DD

[@mebanshanborkurbah]

[@schecheli]

Congratulations to Finland. Here in Brasil metal is not respected. A metal singer would never win a competition here, that's the sad truth. :\

[@IltonMarquesjr]

its a shame, because we have a lot of great metal musicians..

[@Azukayoshi]

yeah, Brasil has amazing singers, but they doesn't stand a chance againts other rythms here, they has to be respected in other countries so they can be respected by ourselves. Very weird situation, like shaman, dr. sin and others.

[@samuelmatejovic498]

know your feeling bro, we have the same in Slovakia :( only pop/rap shit

[@BerNa650]

Sad truth, the only things that are known in Brazil are those pieces of shit funks and sertanejo. Finnish people have a much more solid culture of metal, respect to all and specially to Sonata Arctica \,,/

[@questaodeopiniao8326]

@Gabriela Antes Kuhn e cantando bem...

[@latuman]

That drummer is my spirit animal on every level.

[@Nem87]

Metal in Idols? Only in Finland... :P Awesome potential. I'm curious how he will do in the future.

[@cesarpezzi]

Nice performance of the drummer!! He nailed it easy!! good job...rock on Ari!! \m/

[@mychemicalachuu]

Quiero ir a Finlandia, el único país en el que me daría gusto ver estos programas.

[@jmartindt]

Azul Arctica La TV es una porquería a nivel mundial, y este programa no es la excepción. Ahora si te gustan los rubios, te recomiendo ir. Un tiempo estuve en pareja con una estonia, tuve la suerte de conocer su país y son todos molestamente rubios :v

[@mychemicalachuu]

J Martin Nope. Me gusta su cultura y la música obviamente, no lo dije porque haya rubios allá. Y si, la tv es una porquería en todos lados.

[@jmartindt]

Azul Arctica Jajaja era solo una broma xD Y ánimo con ese deseo de visitar Finlandia, viajar no es tan complicado como la mayoría cree, hay que ir eliminando las excusas, como por ejemplo "si me voy, me voy mínimo 30 días" ufff si realmente te fascina el país te aseguro que 15 días son tan pocos como 30 o 60 días, y una vez que vayas vas a volver. O el echo de no querer viajar sola, otra idiotez. Vamos, hay que animarse, y sin excusas que lo único que hacen es alejarnos de nuestros sueños. El "Quiero" dejáselo al Banco Galicia y pensá en un "Voy a" ir a Finlandia :D

[@mychemicalachuu]

J Martin gracias :') jaja si! Eso quiero y voy a hacerlo!!

[@jmartindt]

Azul Arctica jaja que genia, te quedaste con el quiero nomas! \m/

[@Godspeed696]

One of rare moments that the drummer gets alot of camera time~

[@AldoKoskettimet]

the drummer's performance was kick ass as well!

[@MrKay15]

Oh man, It's epic. If in my country the "Idol" was like that, absolutely I would like to watch.

[@joonajuujarvi]

Aikoja ku idolssissaki oli vielä kunnon laulajia.

[@fernandaalines]

Amazing! Love both Sonata and Ari

[@irreligious80]

Nice that someone notices the drummer. Sami Kuoppamäki, look him up. A world class drummer...

[@rinastar1231]

Ihana Ari❤️

[@suvihaka5493]

i like it ari!💕♥

[@CarlosRamirez-gc3bb]

a really admired boy's voice . my respects from El salvador . I like sonata artica and stratovarious

[@mattisan007]

I like it, the high notes are amazing. it's not often you see a metalhead in this kind of competition with these great songs! just what I would expect from Finland

[@pirkko-annelilahtinen2020]

Oh my God, You are so, so beatyfull and same time yuo have a voice who kill everything. Thankyou so much!

[@KomoriSakura]

OMG this guy is amazing

[@mikem2849]

Damn that's an excellent cover. Love this song and he does a GREAT job!

[@venla5375]

It really is! And Ari Koivunen was only 23 years old in this and self trained singer, never took singing lessons. I bet he would be even 200 % better if he know would sing it.

[@donloder1]

gotta appreciate the backing band and vocals, they slew it! \m/

[@TopGlobal2023]

Saludos desde Perú !! :D

[@claudiasaenzmoreno1613]

Beautiful!

[@juhos30000]

I love his shirt! (It says heavy metal is the best) Also great performance by the drummer...

[@dariusz34]

No way. He is awesome! Up from me ^^ Poland sending regards !

[@jayasjr]

greetings pure metal fan in Us...this kid rocks!!!!

[@HAWXLEADER]

i wish i could enlight the "idols" in israel with sonata arctica's songs.... i can sing them perfectly it's just that i wont even pass the audition... not a metal population.... most ppl here like eastern music. i hate it! all of the lyrics in hebrew eastern music are as deep as a spit puddle. sonata arctica rules when it comes to great melodies combined with super great lyrics! just perfect! oh and great drummer!

[@minyard03]

Jest naprawdę niesamowity. Genialny głos!

[@TheTwilightTavern]

Well I just got home from it and I was pretty impressed with Ari! I can see what you mean about them being pretty different but I like a lot of different kinds of metal and really enjoyed them,a nd yes, Ensiferum were brilliant. Also never realised Ari could growl!

[@BlackFiresong]

Awesome! Man, why don't people get to sing Sonata Arctica on the British and American talent shows?

[@metvelle]

i'd love to see someone on american idol covering a sonata song.. sad part is most of them havent even heard of sonata arctica.. also ari's album did not suck at all it was actually quite good.. instead of bashing him listen to it you may actually like it

[@arselitemucin930]

Still 2007 awesome!

[@rockLusy22]

amazingggg

[@Nem87]

Koivunen covers Sonata Arctica in here, which used to be a power metal band. Metal consists of a lot of subgenres which have their own distinct sound. Power metal is the opposite of the stereotypical metal. A lot of people seem to think metal has only screaming/growling vocals and is about the devil and negativity, but power metal usually has high clean vocals and they sing about goodness and fantasy stories. Because most power metal bands have a positive sound, it's easily confused with rock :p

[@dagguerrero]

The "future" began since that very moment. He already has 3 solo albums (2 platinum and 1 gold) and 2 with a band called "Amoral" ;-)

[@JMACSCP]

Great!!!!!!!

[@aislinsummers2807]

2018 still listening

[@Orbituation]

@TheDarkMaster91 If you do listen to the original track, the flat notes were intended. They're all part of the song

[@jayasjr]

YESSS!!!!!! AWESOME WAKE UP SONG!!!!! GODD MORNING METAL FANS!!!!

[@jayasjr]

I really like this version with Ari K., does anyone have a studio version of this song? I can't seem to find one, only live performance. HELP, PLEASE!!!

[@elias-zi3bd]

+Json-Doggie watson There is probably not a studio one, cause this was from a TV show. :)

[@Snowquard]

Ku idolsissa finalisteilla oli vielä kunnon yleisö eikä pari läskiä mussuttamassa gifflareita sohvalla. Ja sai laulaa koko biisin eikä mittää puolentoista minuutin tiivistelmää.

[@Nautamies]

He's called Sami Kuoppamäki and he sure is totally awesome drummer!

[@TheTwilightTavern]

He's currently in the band Amoral, who were formerly a melodic death metal band so it's kind of a big transition for the band, nonetheless I enjoy their music.

[@Nem87]

It's funny that you respond to my comment just now :D I just saw Amoral open for Ensiferum three days ago. I didn't hear a lot, but from the songs I heard I think Amoral were better before the change.. Doesn't mean I dislike Ari's singing. I just think pure power metal fits his vocals way more.

[@90AlexF]

I am German and I like the Finnish or Sweden Version of American Idol more than the German, because there you can`t sing songs like these because the judge especially dieter bohlen wold say ,,wie don`t know this song, don`t sing this kind of songs"...but in skandinavia you could do this, thats fantastic :)

[@mauricioeitler]

Here in Chile people cover demi lovato. Please Finland take me with you ASAP!!

[@carovelacas]

Same here !!

[@Nem87]

Oh you're seeing them today. Won't need any explaining then :p Hope you have had fun! The supports weren't bad, but I couldn't completely get into the music. I think folk supports would have been better because the supports were so different in music :p Ensiferum was great as always :D But yeah, I don't know why but I find Ari more convincing in this video than when I saw Amoral live.

[@ikeranen]

Awesome. From an American Finn.

[@RandomVideoEditor17]

this is badass

[@caroometal]

I wish people in my country could sing this kind of songs >:c

[@Red01Rose]

I liked!!!

[@TheTwilightTavern]

I'm seeing them on Friday on the same tour! Can't wait for it, how were the two supports?

[@TheTwilightTavern]

Sonata Arctica is a power METAL band. So yeah this is metal.

[@magiignatova8817]

[@mw6901]

Good effort by the drummer

[@bilgeoktem]

epic win.

[@jaydenhoward8670]

Who is the background singer !!!!!

[@SkepticGamer]

Sick

[@14physician]

Thanks a lot for the tip. I'll keep eyes peeled. ciao.

[@MrMorvar]

@TheSjig1 Yes he did!

[@niggeling5741]

finland isn't part of scandinavia though...

[@elrede9415]

hahaha its funny how they sing the "run away, run away, run away" part... hahaha really fast XD

[@justinromano1307]

I know what you mean man, but if people do perform Sonata Arctica on British or American talent shows then maybe more people can like it and listen to something new for once!

[@thewanderertalei]

did he win?

[@guilhermeflores7564]

This boy still singing?

[@daretodream9765]

I've heard he doesn't sing anymore, unfortunately...but he had 2 solo albums and also 4 albums in Amoral band, all of them are awesome

[@trexesteban]

good cover

[@pernambucano2898]

o cara canta +/-

[@therouxarts]

@TheSjig1 yes!!

[@Alackhor]

Fuck yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lml

[@proxykid567]

@MegaPowerMetalero Im from Mexico too, and I agree with you... pure crap over here. Wish someday I can travel over to Finnland...

[@dariusz34]

@TheR00Z No. On jest zajebisty, nie ma co gadać. Szkoda, że takie talenty są rzadko promowane przez media, a zamiast nich, wszyscy wolą plastikowe laleczki i plastikową muzykę...

[@scandiumSc21]

Atleast Finland, I wouldn't say that metal is national music in Sweden

[@TheSjig1]

@MrMorvar Ah nice.

[@KapybaryJsouSuper]

I don't think it's possible in the Cz.Republic."Not interesting,nobody knows it".One girl wanted to sing Mr.Big in "My Idols" but then she was singing a song by Pink.I doubt her idol is Pink,I know her music taste.Somebody was talking how the things are and it's not so fair as it seems to be.He appeared in Idols ,was really good but Pink floyd?No chance.His individuality wasn't "supported" especially by the management.(Btw,that girl was 2nd because she knows what people want)

[@CREapiii]

It's not in france that someone will sing Sonata Artica's songs u_u'

[@JrHeronildes]

better than original version o.O

[@heavymetal.syndrome]

Sonata Arctica

[@dagguerrero]

Bet the drummer never had to play a metal song till then... XD I'm sure he loved it!

Toni Kakko!! ;)

[@Mikehero69_]

I wonder if Tony Kakko was in the crowd, moshing?

[@pirkko-annelilahtinen2020]

Voi hyvä tavaton, upeata!

[@TheViolinAndMore]

He is really good , he needs to practise , but he will more balanced and THEN!! He is superb!

[@chubetoz0r]

Gary Oldman on drums, thats epic

[@jesustepes]

the real musicians make arrangements for solos :). was also to give more importance to Koivunen sry for my english

[@Panzer_Revolt]

Aikoja ku oli idols 😅😅

[@TheR00Z]

@dariusz34 Hahah, też mnie nawiedził, zazdroszczę mu skali :/

[@babisSSJ4]

No freaking way,,, He is awsome i agree but Tony is out of competition....

[@justinromano1307]

Well he's no Tony Kakko but he is still awesome :D

[@yorch5d]

This guy's voice reminds me Gabriel Garcia from Black Tide

[@soloh_ugo]

its great that in finland accept every tipe of music, here in mexico only shit

[@rasmusparviainen1800]

ei toi ihan tonille vertoja vedä mutta silti kyllä hyvin vetää

[@YoshiFan100]

He has a very, very nice voice. With a bit more practice, he could be the next Tony Kakko, if you ask me.

[@LunaNympha]

I noticed that xD Did not seem like the type of metal drummer, at all. He looks like he's having fun, though.
