[@bertjones3010]

At some point I suspect you might have an interest in exploring Floor's solo projects which are nothing like Nightwish even though she does somewhat add metal elements (Phantom of the Opera) and covers some Nightwish sings (Slow Love Slow). Should you decide to listen to the singles she's been dropping for her new album, please review them from live performances rather the her music videos since they are so much more organic.

You want the best you got the bet. Best live Singer Best live Band.

To hear Marko's ability to sing you have to see the Nightwish Cover of Pink Floyd's Song High Hopes from the "End Of An Era" concert in 2005 in Helsinki.

Floor has been a revelation for Nightwish. As their third and most accomplished singer she has taken them to another level. At this concert there are 15 songs and all of them written for previous two singers, Tarja (operatic) and Anette (more pop) and Floor sings them all with so much versatility. Only with the band ten months at this concert and so comfortable. That's why the whole band seem so happy.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks for thr great info Clive!

[@jpdemer5]

Works both ways, I think: Tuomas's music gave Floor a chance to exercise her full talents, and she gives him an instrument that he didn't have before. I can't imagine being desperate for a replacement vocalist mid-tour, and having this spectacular woman walk in at the last minute. That voice, those looks ... plus the stage presence of Freddie Mercury? No wonder they're smiling!

Gabriel is the Herald of the Nightwish army, when he posts in your comments it means that the army is mobilizing to strike your channel 😁 An amazing analysis my friend.

The one thing that is often missed and I may be wrong about this, as I am not a musician, but to me Tuomas plays the keyboards often in a very rhythmic fashion, making the strings more rock sounding to contrast with the rest of the orchestration being more stylistically legato sounding.

You were right, the bass player's name is Marco Hietala. He is a very good vocalist, along with a fantastic bass and guitar player. There are several Nightwish songs where he sings, both with the female singer and on his own. One of the best examples of Marco's singing is when he sings the Phantom's part of Phantom of the Opera with their original singer, Tarja. Other great songs that he sings include "I Want My Tears Back", "The Islander" from their Tampere' concert (where Floor ends up singing background for him) and the homage to Pink Floyd "High Hopes" from their End of an Era concert. Unfortunately, he has now left the band, but the Nightwish faithful hope that someday he will return. Ever Dream is one of the best examples of Floor's range. When they do the key change at the end of the song and she just moves right on up the scale, really shows off how much control she has on her voice. One of the reasons that I really like this song is the intro with Floor's soft voice and Tuomas' piano playing. We don't get to hear that lovely soft voice of hers very much in Nightwish's music. The music just does not allow for it. But she has done quite a bit of solo work in the past few years where she does not have to belt as hard can really bring that beautiful soft voice forward. I enjoyed your reaction very much.

No need to say anything about Floor, she is PERFECT! BUT im glad you specifically mentioned the drummer, Jukka Antero, which is a MASTER!!! He stopped performing for the band some time ago and this, for me at least, was a huuge loss, same with Marko aswell! Jukka is a powerhouse!!!
