I love the contrast of the voices of Tarja and Marko! they were a fantastic duo. I recommend slaying the dreamer, another song from them in this concert. Tarja has a fabulous voice and in her solo career she knows how to be more varied. Tarja also sang ghost love Score on that show and many more songs! I need more reactions with her haha. Floor did a great job too but I like Tarja's powerful, dark and deep voice better. That's why I like the old NW, it was more symphonic metal but everyone has their preferences and is respectable. Thank you!! 🇦🇷

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

@@sarahweis1703 Exactly. There are a number of problems with Tarja. A. her impressive high notes notwithstanding her performances never feel balanced: there are to many off pitch notes (not so much in this performance, but more in general), her vowels are often harsh and not pretty ("iiii...)", etc. B. Tarja's timing is not very good. Especially when singing with the more complicated and demanding metal rythms of Nightwish her voice often does not gell: Tarja is rigid and in live performances does often not seem to get her voice to work with the music of Nightwish (I have many examples of that) Floor on the other hand, has an enormous range like Tarja, but she is not as manic in those high notes, and she has much more control over the whole picture: beautiful fluent vowels, an effortless flow of the song and melding in with the music, excellent control over the texture and register she want to use to tell the story of the song, and excellent decisions in how she wants to use those. And what really makes Floor better is that she always makes the effort to actually feel the song and what it is about. There is simply much more emotion in Floors voice. Tarja on the other hand always gives the feeling that she only wants to show off those high notes, while she could not care less about the rest of the song.

[@caligo7918]

Let's be honest, the Phantom is the bad guy. Henk's Phantom sounds more like a controlled murderer, the planner, ice cold, adding the edge when he get's excited. Marko's Phantom is deranged with a veneer of "normal human". I absolutely love both versions and always found the original Phantom to be too slick, too controlled.

[@coachmikesfilmroom3111]

Oh really? Too slick? Too controlled? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWPdqa2XjMyJiKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGrUfZmvgdSqoMk Two versions of the song with Sarah Brightman and both completely different. And I would neither of them consider slick.

[@LongandWeirdName]

Marko is the Mr Hyde to Henk's Dr Jekyl. Two very separate faces of the same Phantom. I don't know which interpretation is better. Happily, I don't have to choose just one of them. Not everything is a competition. Both interpretations have a good reason to exist. The calculating, precise, obsessed musical genius and the disfigured, passionate, powerful monster haunting the opera building. Both are technically correct. The best kind of correct. Same with the Christines. Floor feels more natural. The youthful new rising starlet with a gift she is only now beginning to fully be able to grasp control of, while Tarja sounds more "classically trained" and controlled. Even in her final outbursts, she still doesn't let passion take control of the instrument. Two very different women being portrayed. Both talented as hell. Personally, I give Floor a slight advantage, as she lets me feel the character a bit more. She doesn't perform the song. She becomes the character. I don't quite feel that with Tarja. She remains Tarja singing Christine's role. Splendidly. But still, her personality shines a bright light directly at the edge of the stage making me painfully aware of the fourth wall, if you know what I mean. When it comes to vocal talent, they are both unmatched and unique. They are both brilliant, but Floor has a slight edge. To illustrate the difference a bit more, I'll use a different A.L. W. musical piece as performed by two different artists. Memories from Cats. Barbra Streisand does a technically perfect job. Sings every note just right. But it still feels like a song. Recorded in a professional recording studio, by a great singer. But a song. And then, there's the Elaine Paige version from the official DVD recording of the Broadway stage oerformance. When she sings it, you can feel the desperation for another chance of the old cat, once living a perfect life. You can almost feel the matted fur, the bald spots, and the knots and scars on its skin. She doesn't just perform. She paints the character with her voice. Barb makes you nod in appreciation of vocal prowess. Elaine makes you want to pet the poor animal. I hope that makes sense.

[@Ozzy_2014]

Elizabeth pegged her at least an E#. G is possible. There is a 26 minute video of every note in her range through her single career. Kitos does mean thank you. You should know she had a cold and could not sing during her reversal for the show. Tarja IS a trooper. Finishing a long world tour with the biggest show they have ever done at home in Finland. They were welcomed home by the fans as national heroes. You can imagine the uproar when.the band posted the Dear Tarja letter online that they told her she should wait till tomorrow to open. Motivations we can only Guess's at. I might hope part of it was after.the high of the concert and the tour they at least wanted to let her enjoy the night. But as she said in her interview a few days later. She was crying tears of joy after that show. Her pain and efforts with the showmanship had paid off. Hearing the crowd so into the performance. Singing along with her. What artist would not love that feedback. There is no drug quite like the stage. It was Charles Dickens who compared it to the opium pipe. What is it that drew Ozzy Osbourne out of drugs and alcohol, performing on stage. The audience feedback. Of course withdrawl is a real thing. Concerts end. Tours end. Then you are home in the quiet and everything you left there is back. If you don't have a balance at home...trouble follows. That is why I am so glad she has a family. Husband and child to keep her grounded. Friends no doubt. Then when recharged she can throw herself into creative projects. Like her book. Like concerts. I would have to agree with everything that has happened in the world especially 2020, that if ever there was a quite time to reflect and put pen to paper about your life and why it is you do what you do, this is it. Could not tour so this seems a good project. Time with family no bad thing either. Now yes book is done, she is writing and recording new music. Busy busy diva, at her home in Spain.

[@Slick-ng5kf]

I still have no idea why people have to have competition as fans of singers. Tarja is awesome (I honestly think her singing has gotten better as she’s gotten older and using different vocal types/techniques). Floor is awesome (also as she’s grown in age and vocal maturity has gotten better). They are both unbelievable singers. Leave it at that. I’m a guitar guy...I don’t compare EVH or Steve Vai with SRV or Clapton. They are all great in their own uniqueness. You can’t say who’s “better” there is no better or worse...they are different. Same with Tarja and Floor - completely different voices but both great. My brain resonates more with Floor’s voice same as I like the way SRV plays blues more than Clapton or BB King. And EVH is my rock guy (but I also love Vai and Malmsteen and Slash and Petrucci). My point: enjoy them both for who they are and their voices and stop comparing them like fanboy/girl trolls. Also, Marko rules 🤘

Funniest part to me is that, while boys and girls till today arguing who's better, Floor or Tarja, those two AMAZING ladies are friends in real life, and probably cannot be bothered more 🤣🤦‍♀️ In my own opinion, Tarja owns this, her opera voice sounds more natural and powerful, probably it has to do with lengty classical training. Floor, as far as I know had classical training as well, but only 1 year. But when in comes to other techniques, Floor.. hands down. I adore them both ❤

[@tarinpaskalis3832]

The version of Nightwish with Tarja is my favorite. The power that Tarja's operatic voice has is incredible. Floor has a powerful belting, but a soft operatic voice. For The phantom of the Opera, Tarja's voice impresses me much more.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

No i not agree with you, sorry

[@Rafael-qi9bt]

@@ralfmeyer9086 It is important to differentiate what is personal taste and what is fact. It is a fact that Tarja has a powerful operatic voice and Floor has a soft operatic voice. This is not a matter of opinion, it is clear and has to do with the vocal characteristics of each singer. It is a personal taste to prefer that Cristine, the character played by Tarja and Floor in this song, have a soft or powerful operatic voice. According to my personal taste, I prefer a powerful operatic voice in this song. I think a powerful operatic voice is better suited to this song, since Cristine is a solo opera singer, and at the end of this song the idea is that she sing with all the power of a great diva. You can prefer a Cristine in a more delicate voice, this is your personal taste and there is no problem with that. However, in fact, Floor does not have an operatic voice as powerful as Tarja. Floor's power lies in her belting technique. I say that because I know Floor's work well. I've been following her since After Forever. This does not mean that one is better than the other. Each of them has different voices and made different vocal study options.

[@iTeacupPanda]

I prefer Tarja's as well. Floor's is pretty and I respect her skill, but I'd never return to listen to it because the overall sound isn't nearly as captivating. This song is just PERFECT for Tarja's vocal quality in general, there is nothing Floor could do to best her in this song just like I'm sure there is a song Tarja can't best Floor in.

However Pavarotti who was amazing too, knew better how to make it mainstream also, specially when is voice was getting already out of prime from the 90's on, it was a wise move, even commercially, but what I mean is: never think that Domingo is Less than Pavarotti inside the Opera world, because it is the other way around! And on the older generations there were other tenors as great as Pavarotti (Bjorling, Corelli, del Monaco, etc... and Pavarotti knew it!). At the end of the day I prefer Not to choose and have them Both, and I actually have many Opera recordings with Both, Simple! Thanks for replying anyway! Cheers!

[@brucenadeau5920]

Hey Big B... My comment when watching this was look how they interacted so well, and LOOK at Henk enjoying Floor's performance! Floor's facial and head jesturs are perfectly timed and Henk DOES take notice, I watched it again 3 times after Reacting to it and LOVED watching him watching her!

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Yes. Amazing interaction. Henk is a real pro stage actor and she feeds off that energy so nicely

haha, people don't care that the two women are different , so why would they care that Henk and Marko are different? People love contests and fights, lol.

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Yeah, definitely seems that way. Chat was going OFF about it...

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Some people do care about Tarja and Floor being different/one is better. Not sure why honestly, but if you wait around and read some comments, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about 😂 always good to see you here, Rosannasfriend

[@FemaleMetalLover]

It's a sexist thing, men never get compared in the same way women do. They always have to deliver 200 % more and always get the blame for any friction or tensity. Check out the new Britney Spears documentary - the part were everybody was pitying Justin but hating on Britney after their break up is just wack crazy, just like he too wrote songs about the break-up to shame Britney, as did Tuomas to Tarja.

Always prefered Tarja's Nightwish, but Floor is amazing as well. Tarja was my Nightwish "first"...so....

[@hollandduck79]

watch Henk Poort met Sound of Silence so good

[@wizarddragon]

In My Metal Community, we had a discussion when Tarja was fired about who could replace her. There was only one singer I could think of that would perfectly fit. That singer was After Forever's lead singer Floor Jansen. It took several years but I was proven Right. Tarja vs Floor Debate is Mute. They are completely different singers that are at the top of their art form. I was angry when Nightwish Fired Tarja and wasn't a fan of her replacement, to be honest, but my Fellow Tarja fans you cannot deny that Floor fits perfectly with Nightwish. #EndTheDebate lol

[@kezca]

Kiitos blooming great thankyou.

[@marcovtjev]

I like Floor for many songs, but this one is definitely Tarja. (even in survival mode)

[@livianegidius9772]

He was her teacher. And of course she is excited to sing with him.

I started off as a Floor fan, BUT NOT ANYMORE, now that ive actually heard TARJA!!!! OMG!!!!! WOW!!!!!😦😮😮😀👍👍👍

We can love both. But yeah, Tarja's world class.

alright havent seen it ,so here it goes. queen to D8 ,cheakmate

[@janihaavisto79]

Only problem is that there is a video in KZbin where Floor and Henk do this same song in 2013 in Nederlands. So they have met before and sang together before also.

[@VioletBicanic]

I seriously doubt it, but willing to see what you have got. They did go on a short tour in the Netherlands just before Covid-19 hit the world and a while after the show they did on the Beste Zangers. I sort of think you mean this performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ7Ul5t4Zbetibc ... it took place @ 013, maybe that it is what got you wondering about this. 013 is a concert venue in Tilburg, the Netherlands. 013 is also the prefix for phone numbers in Tilburg. Or did you come across other footage?

[@bettymajoor]

That was not with Henk, they met for the first time at beste zangers 2019. Except for the fact that Floor saw him, when she was 11 years old, as the Phantom, in the musical the Phantom of the Opera. After that she wanted to be a singer herself. In 2013 she sang it with Joacim Cans . And she also sang it with Russel Allen.

[@Rosannasfriend]

Of course Tarja is in "survival mode", she did the most singing. STill killed it!

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

100%

[@Imurai]

I'd say if she k illed it, Marco fkin slain it!

[@Pelamaal]

Hats off to the band. Song would not be as amazing if the music's quality didn't equal the vocals

So disgusting how many people were hating Tarja in that chat. Without Tarja Nightwish wouldn't have ever been a thing or as popular as they are and Floor could not have even joined them, obviously as it wouldn't be a thing

As far as I know, this lineup of the group collapsed not by professional reasons, but by personal relationship with the leader Tuomas.

[@jemakrol]

...and being a straight male I just sitting like girl in love when Marko sings. Sings AND plays bass. Damn, that dude is friggin awesome. And Tarja... a league of her own. And there's no point in comparing Tarja and Floor. They're two different singers who both are completely out of this world. By their own merits.

[@aryansigrid]

Hi dude!

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Hi!

[@PatrickHutton]

14:49 yes they (specifically Thomas) had already decided to sack her before this concert. It was pretty sick the way they treated her. Marko apologised for his part in 2017 and recently they've done some songs together. The band also treated Annette pretty badly too they seem to have actually grown up by the time that Floor came on board.

Hahaha thanks my friend. I'm finding that learning about other genre techniques is actually helping a lot to supplement my own performing with classical repertoire. It's been a journey. Always great to see you here :)
