belting, range and storytelling... I'm deceased | Vocal Coach Analysis - "Romanticide" Nightwish

[@StephenSmith-pn6ex]

Thank the gods she got cured from breast cancer. She is a awesome lady to meet

[@robtaubman93]

Welcome back !!

[@donlarsen5685]

She' s not necessarily cured but the odds are in her favor. My understanding (I'm not that smart, ...my girlfriend is a breast cancer survivor) is that there is a 10% chance of reoccurence with the highest risk coming in the first 2 years.....IIRC she had a lumpectomy and not a masectomy, so it wasnt a big tumor.....but remember, this is Floor. Jansen...she destroys cancer cells everytime she hits that last note in Ghost Love Score!

[@emwhaibee]

​@@donlarsen5685Just give her body to time to fully heal. Son of a 5 year breast cancer survivor here. (I know those same cells are coursing through my body #mindful)

[@TeacherinTraining39]

I missed getting to meet the band in 2014 by 30 minutes, after I had bought 2 VIP tickets. I could have absolutely left a back seat driving cunt on the side of the road...Bitch cost me $150 for nothing. lol, All that to say I'm super jelly.

[@andrewvasquez7872]

No one is ever "cured of cancer". The best you can have is being in remission for the rest of your life. But once you have cancer, your body is almost predisposed to having it reoccur. Once your cells have developed the mutation that causes unmitigated multiplication (tumors) they have a higher chance to have it happen again even in different parts of the body. I have an aunt that survived breast cancer only to have it come back in her bones. Obviously age, overall health and how serious the initial cancer was play a part but anyone that has cancer will need to have regular screenings for a very long time if not for the rest of their lives. The goal is for the need to for screenings to become less frequent.

[@gene6690]

Where have you been all this time Julia. One of the two TOP reactors and music analysts on KZbin today, so this is a great privilege to hear you again reacting on a Nightwish song. Yes Floor is in a class of her own ❤

I agree on Julia's analysis is both technical and well presented. Subscribed! I question legitimacy of some vocal analysts on YT. I won't say who though.

[@Slick-ng5kf]

As I’m not a singer, am a physician so understand anatomy and physiology as well as physics. Your use of anatomical discussions of how sounds and tones and timbres are produced is much appreciated. I’ve learned a ton about singing/singers from your channel. It has also allowed me to understand how Floor does the things she does vocally much better. She appears to be quite physically gifted by the singing gods…tall with strong core/back, lungs that appear to have > expected capacity, wide and large mouth with probably significant oropharyngeal space, skull shape also likely adds into her resonance and tone as well. She is the Secretariat of vocalists in that manner and that combined with her dedication to the craft and work ethic makes her the vocalist we all love. Wasn’t disappointed in the joy/amazement on your face with the slide at end 🤘. You’ve got a lot of catching up to do with some newer stuff from Nightwish and Floor both. This definitely brightened my work day so thank you.

I know this is about singing and mostly about Floor but omfg do I love watching Jukka play with Nightwish. The energy he brings to the stage is fantastic.

[@najrenchelf2751]

Valid - I think it’s simply him having a good time that’s contagious to the point where we can feel it through the screen!

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Yes, Kai is great but he just doesn't bring it like Jukka did. And there's a huge hole where Marko was. The lineup in this video is the ultimate Nightwish lineup.

[@what_the_hec7]

Julia is so excited with this song she doesn't have her usual whispery ASMR voice, she's just overtaken with infectious joy!

[@michaelneuss7554]

You flipping love music Julia, we flipping love your analysis.

[@ValtteL]

Did you know...that Romanticide last part (Marko metal rap, double bass drumming etc.) was originally part of the Nemo song, but after a very long struggle they couldn't get it to work and they took it out. Tuomas have many times talked about how sometimes "you have to be ready to kill your darlings from the song" and this is one of those. After the struggles with Nemo, they put the Romanticide together and this part that didn't work in Nemo found its rightful place.

[@arietuno]

Wow, that was educational, thank you!

[@najrenchelf2751]

It is crazy how that works sometimes - that would be quite a twist for the dramatic ballad that is Nemo... 😹

[@APMM58]

I must have been a relieve to finally hear very good music again after all this time😊 greetings from the Netherlands

[@jamescowing829]

. First let me say YOU ARE THE FLOOR JANSEN of reaction channels. We love you for pretty much the same reasons we love Floor. (See if you can recognize any of yourself in my description of her :) Sure she's got the varied training and experience needed to have great technique, but those alone won't necessarily lead to great storytelling, let alone make one a good front person. She is, above all, very expressive --facial expression, vocal expression, body language, wit and emotion. The default emotion expressed is a mirthful sort of joy that seems to spring from some bottomless reserve. She is very present. She "takes risks," trusting that the audience will accept her choices. Her audience is drawn in whether she is frontperson, cosplayer, co-conspirator, interviewee, voice teacher or reactor. She can perform well with others, and celebrates their success as much or more than her own. We love her, not just because she's talented, but because she's fun and having fun; she's wise and articulate; she tries to include us in her joyful musical journey, and we ALMOST feel like we're there at Wacken 2013, looking out from the stage at all the eager faces, glancing over at Emppu to make sure he's not about to pull a prank, and throwing a quick grin at Tuomas before belting our guts out. Romanticide has been my #1 or #2 fave since I first heard it. The glissando. That one long, belty harmony. The part where Marco & Floor sing over the ends of each others' lines. The heaviness.

[@michaelrainbow4203]

You always deliver! LOVE your reactions and technical explanations. I'm never annoyed when you pause the video, because you are passionate about your craft and you obviously understand it well. There are a few others I love to watch, like Chase Carneson and TankTheTech, but you are tops.

[@wasnatroef9926]

For Marco you could react "High Hopes", their Pink Floyd cover, Marco's voice is really blowing you away...

Nightwish's latest YT release was Floor and Henk Poort doing Phantom of the Opera. was recorded in November 2022 and just realeased a few week ago. Theres some great songs from the last album that you never got to. Noise and Tribal have some great live performances.

[@ericdrager6281]

So glad to see Nightwish back on your radar. You should check out Everdream from Wacken 2013, at the time Floor said it was her most challenging song. Also nice whenever Marko gets the credit his is due, check out Phantom of the Opera from End of an Era 2005 to see some crazy notes from him, and of course Tarja

We've all been waiting for more Nightwish. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You need to check out Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean when they performed in Argentina...Marko is spotlighted in this piece a bit more, where he is the main story teller. Also, check out Floor when she was ReVamp, performing Disdain at Grasspop 2010.

[@Sarge80]

The siren wail, im gonna miss Marko and Floor doing that, the same with their harmonic singing in greatest show on earth.

[@nebokhod]

”Romanticide” is another “Tarja’a era” song of Nightwish, and I really love the way she picks some “checkpoints” of this song in similar to Tarja’s manner but still gives plenty of “herself”, and that makes her performance incredible technically, and also very respectful to Tarja and individual at the same time.

[@beckyweiss6072]

I've never heard Floor sing Tarja era songs tbh. I'm in love, I need to find if there are album recordings of her concerts lol.

[@jcd57]

Glad you are back, excellent reaction, missed you...

[@elvwood]

GLS is my favourite song to watch with reactors new to Nightwish, but Romanticide is my favourite to watch knowledgeable people like you analyse! Great breakdown. On a different note, as a fan of the English language I really appreciate how Tuomas plays with the words in this one, all the assonance in the chorus and the double meaning of "part" (notice how in the original "till death do us part" it means 'to separate', whereas in "till love do me part" it has become 'to cut in two'). Also the storytelling in the choice of vocal quality is spot on! BTW, in case nobody's mentioned it, in the original version it was just Marko on the "siren" at the end. He once said that with Floor in the band he no longer had to hold back vocally, and I guess this sort of thing contributed to that...

[@Mey3480]

Thanks to a friend I was introduced to Nightwish and Floor just over 12 months ago having been a lifeling Electric Light Orchestra (E.L.O.) appreciator and I have immersed myself in everything from the wonderful Tarja and Annette eras and now the incomparable Floor. I cannot now imagine a day going by when I don't listen to this phenomenal band especially live.

The lighting effect on Marko when he comes in on vocals after the drum break: His face is sort of lit from underneath. I think that's how the old classic Universal horror films lit characters like Dracula and Frankenstein. That stage crew, this is some well informed lighting technique...

The fact that she is hitting the 6th octave is impressive, but I have heard other female singers hit that too. The big difference is the volume and resonance that she hits the slide with, that is in a class by itself.
