NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score | Reaction

[@gabriel_bardac]

Hello Heidi [ HailHeidi ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘

All three singers were/are just divine... But Tarja was a bit better than her successors... My opinion.

@@steamroller1977 Each of us has our own preference for one or another of the 3 singers, but if we take a step back and look at the beauty and stylistic diversity of their entire activity over the last quarter of a century, I think the most appropriate answer is deep respect. Do you know that a girl from Nigeria (ujunwa mercy) is reacting to the whole "From Wishes To Eternity" concert these days, song by song? She already reacted to the first 5 songs from the concert during the week. I was happy like a child, me, a declared fan of Floor!..

Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered ! Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora. Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6). She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉. Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. And the master of this magic is: Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish) Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot. This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people. The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival. We hope, that there is more coming. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.

This is in fact the thirteenth song of this concert and the songs vary in style. Worth watching the opening song Dark Chest Of Wonders which was the first experience for most of the 82,000 crowd of Floor Jansen singing with Nightwish. She replaced the second singer, Anette Olzon, mid tour in the USA. And had only recently returned to Europe. They reintroduced this song as Floor loved it and could sing it unlike the previous pop style singer. She does give it more vocal colours than the first singer Tarja Turunen who is predominantly operatic in style. By the way, Floor Jansen has her own KZbin channel where she does some excellent covers, chats and vocal coaching and has just released a very different solo album called Paragon.

I started listening to symphonic metal back in early 00s around the time wishmaster came out, because I love opera and I love metal. Anette is not in the same leauge as Tarja.

What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.

[@empii911]

The thing is... of all their years and concerts with Tarja and great songs they (or mainly Tuomas and Marko) wrote, after parting with both Tarja and Anette, Fans didn't expect too much from Nightwish anymore. I also grew up with Nightwish through my fathers music-taste since 2001. THIS first concert with Floor at Wacken was not just relief for the fans, it probably was the best concert the band ever played before and after. This was so pure, so full of love and respect for the bands history, Floor making a clear statement of not imitating any previous singer but letting her own style flow into each performance. I personally never "felt" Nightwish-Songs as much as with this concert.

[@damienmaynard8892]

well said! True!

[@TJMiton]

I agree. I think there are a few songs that they have performed better at other shows (not ghost love score) but as a concert as a whole, this is unsurpassed.

[@chriskwakernaat2328]

The latest tour, the first one after the whole corona debacle where their concert kept being pushed back.... The very first night, in Amsterdam, ziggo dome.... Was absolutely magical. It was as if they had so much pent up musical energy that just needed to burst out to the crowd :D And we got the duet with Henk port for phantom of the opera :D brilliant.

[@eddybulk1992]

There have been three singers with Nightwish. The first one is called Tarja( Tarya) Turunen. The 2nd singer is called Anette Olzon and ofcourse the 3rd and current singer Floor Jansen. Greetings from The Netherlands

[@peterkeijsers489]

Did you feel it in your inner core? Did it go through you like a warm knife through fresh butter? That feeling of crying, that's called a Floorgasm. Congratulations! Yes, you got your first Floorgasm ever.

[@ExitiumNL]

This is an amazing song. I used to listen to Nightwish a lot about 20 years ago (until Tarja left) and picked them up again like 5-6 years ago. Floor joined in the meantime (2012 if I'm not mistaken). They kicked Anette (second vocalist) out during their world tour and asked Floor to fill in. She had to fly to the US and was learning the songs in the plane, she had 48 hours to do so before the next concert. After the tour she joined the band permanently. To me, a great move. I loved Tarja but to me Floor has the best suiting voice for Nightwish, because she can both go operatic and full on rock/metal with her voice. Tarja was a bit better at the operatic part, but was lacking in the other department in my opinion 😀 This song always gets me at 8:51 with the switch, and with the high note at the end. It's such a rollercoaster to go through 😁 Be ready to be bombarded by the Nightwish Army now by the way, they'll be incoming soon 😉

[@milton1448]

Tarja's wobbly vibrato was hard for me to stomach.

[@haribo836]

20 years ago I loved Nightwish for their composition and music, I loved After Forever for their singer. Floor joining Nightwish was a dream come true, although it came true late, since like you I only picked up on Nightwish again 5 years ago or so.

Great #reaction, love the outflow of emotion you show HH! The 2:1 video screen split seems to be perfect, I've watched the 8:1 split on Greatest Show, and although you do see "more of Floor" with that, I can always watch the original if I'm Floor-gazing. I want to share in the effect the music has on the reviewer.

[@sonosoloio]

welcome to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band, their live performances are some of the things that come so close to epic that they get to be mythical and of course Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive). this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream" this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).

[@michaelnolan6951]

Hi Heidi! I was always a bit of a philistine about music. I thought: "If it was good it would be in a movie soundtrack." I stopped listening to the radio in the mid 90's as more and more music became covers of old songs or artificially created girl or boy bands. The entire 21st Century seemed like a musical desert to me. The only popuar music I heard was from primarily English speaking sources, mostly US and British.I did not hear Nightwish until 2019, and was blown away by the band's tight skill in live performance. I was equally blown away by the voice of the Valkyrie Goddess, Floor Jansen. I spent the next few months going down inter related rabbit holes: Sabaton, Epica, Auri, Ayreon, MaYan, Blind Guardian, the many works of Marcela Bovio... I was stunned that I had lived so long unaware of any of this genius. Nightwish remains my favourite, even though they introduced me to Symphonic Metal, they literally transcend genre. There is no style of music they cannot excel in. As yet, I have never seen them live (and it hurts to have missed Marko,) but it has become a life goal for me. When I started listening to Nightwish on KZbin, Ann Waychoff was still around in every comments section, kindly and patiently educating people. I never directly interacted with her, but I was shocked and saddened to hear of her death within a few months. Gabriel inherited her role as chief tireless cheerleader of the Nightwish Army (I would not be surprised if he beats me here!) who provides an excellent infodump and suggested listening guide to introduce you to Nightwish.

Tarja was the first singer (Sang "Paradise" with Within Temptation - great song and great band!), Anette was the second and Floor Jansen is the third and final female singer. Welcome to Nightwish. Nighwish Army, Blue Mountains Corps, Australia. Nightwish since 1996. Everybody loves Emppu Vuorinen, THE Electric Hobbit (only 5'3"), on guitar - that purple EV-1 ESP is his signature guitar for a long time now (also see his work with another band "Brother Firetribe" - like a Finnish Bon Jovi!). Tuomas Holopainen on keys is the Metal Mozart - composer and arranger for the orchestral backing as well as the most of their songs. Jukka Nevalainen on drums, Marko Hietala on bass and vocals (for other songs)...... and (not on stage here for this song) Troy Donockley - a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist too!.....

Hallo, great reaction. As an old Nightwish fan I'm always that a new fan is enjoying their fantastic music. I really loved your appreciation for the guitarist. Empuu is a great guitarist and always gives what the song needs without the need to show off. Hope you really continue your journey into the Nightwish rabbit hole

[@Santoroz]

Her voice live sticks in your soul. It's so chilling live. Floor is a giant goddess.

[@MageThief]

I cry every time to this song, happy tears, cant stop it.

[@thomaslilly9558]

You cried because you had your first ( of many ) Floorgsm. Nightwish Army guy in So Cal saying thank you. Look forward to your next reactiun, Welcome and enjoy your journey. Be well.

[@zombiespongebob6903]

Oh i teared up the first time i heard the ending of this song... goose bump central... NICE REACTION Prince and Crew!

[@rileyxxxx]

best face expressions to a ghost love score reaction haha. loved it. I always tear up during that song. I went to over 400 concerts in the past and kinda always ignored nightwish. probably cause I didnt like the previous singers and I never noticed when floor joined the band. so I first saw their videos in 2020, shame on me xD

[@deeteenw]

I watched some of your videos already and now you're reacting to my favorite band? Guess I'll have to subscribe then. A classic follow up for the next song would be Storytime from the same concert.

[@AndyMagnusson70]

Ahhhhhhhh I have watched a bunch of your videos and did not think you did music videos. So this was a pleasant surprise. This will be fun to watch. Nightwish Army from Sweden reporting for duty. And the Nightwish army will come. Trust me. I can hear the stomping sound as I write.

[@Heike-r2o]

Already here

[@deeteenw]

Same here from Germany

[@markclements7767]

WE ARE EVERYWHERE! 😁

[@GenXMetalHead73]

Welcome to the Nightwish family we grow more and more everyday! Floor is second to none on this planet and Nightwish is second to no one in my opinion! Their performances are an experience! everyone should experience! They are a masterclass in how to put on a show!

[@nicod1361]

"Beautiful Metal" a category all their own

[@richardmead5969]

what a wonderful reaction, thanks from Colorado. I do not who you are or were your from, but I have a certain set of skills. knowing great music, have seen the best in my 71 years and consider Nightwish in top 5 Rock bands ever. thanks

[@whimsical82]

I cry every time she hits that last note. Floor is ethereal ✌🏻

[@mvellis3863]

Great reaction, and I especially liked your comments about guitarist Emppu Vuorinen. You're spot-on in your observation that he loves the music and his playing serves the song. Never flashy unless the song calls for it, he's a real virtuoso guitarist and can really shred when he needs to. Everybody loves Emppu, he's a fun loving, pick-tossing, beer-drinking guy who almost always has a smile on his face. His antics are hilarious, and he's never in one place very long and likes to run around the stage. He's also a notorious prankster and in one video from this Wacken 2013 concert (during "I Want My Tears Back") he sneaks up behind Floor and unplugs her in-ear monitors. In other performances of that same song Floor often plays a cat and mouse game with him and tries to corner him and get him to dance with her, but he always seems to escape (although I have seen him in one concert do a few seconds of "the swim" with her when he couldn't get away). And you noticed another of this trademarks as he often touches his band mates on the arm or hand during performances in a reassurance of unity and affection.

[@Mystress1980]

There's a scientific reason behind the goosebumps some get, and also the sudden urge to shed tears. It'll only happen to people who are truly listening, and not distracted. Having a decent set of earphones definitely helps lol The sonic avalanche in the last minute or so is usually where it really hits. It is SUCH a rush, and it doesn't happen often. Just like some people can hit notes that can shatter glass, some singers sing in such a way that just weaves into your very soul. It's unnerving, but wonderful at the same time. It's not hard to tell that she really loves this song, and puts everything she has into it. The sign of a great singer isn't the notes they hit. It's the ability to make you feel what they feel.

[@OrioN-fb7bx]

I`m so happy you loved this! You`ll for sure enjoy watching and listening more of this awesome band! 🤘🏼About Wacken, I think you mentioned that you`re going to Germany this year, and Wacken is for sure one of the very best Metal Festivals to og to.

[@woodchild48]

Nightwish is really, I mean REALLY special. If you enjoy their music, you have a lot of outstanding things to discover...

[@Frightspear]

Nice reaction, thank you! Every NW song is a story and a journey! Have fun in your diving deeper in rabbit hole.

[@silverblack5475]

Another Soul Snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess . " why did i start friggin crying " ? Well Floors voice does that to a whole bunch of people, than you add that incredible music behind it and you're done . You want to continue this Nightwish reaction journey ? of course you do , well all you have to do is search in the comment section for Gabriel Bardac's name ( He's The General of the most passionate Army youll ever encounter ) and youll be fine like wine .

I cried so much in this song. I can't even explain what made me feel

[@janvanleeuwen2535]

Great reaction, Heidi. And a warm welcome to the magical world of Nightwish. All the feelings and emotions that you will experience are quite normal for normal people when they hear the call of the Valkyrie, Queen Floor. She touches every single soul. This is the journey of a lifetime. Enjoy 🤘🫡 Greetings from the Netherlands, the Hague

[@AB-ez4rm]

Look at it this way. This can be an educational video. Education on how a superb band scientifically merges with an exceptional singer.

[@Songfugel]

So glad to see you finally reacting to Nightwish! ❤

[@ladiesman9327]

Their absolute best song! 10 minutes of awesomeness

[@johnterry1852]

Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish and Floor Jansen, The Goddess Voice of Heaven and Earth. Enjoy your journey.

[@DraconimLt]

Yes, her name is Floor. 😀 The name of the first NW singer was Tarja, and the group she sang 'Paradise' with was Within Temptation, respectively. Also, Floor is the 3rd singer of NW, Anette was 2nd, between Tarja and Floor. Look for Gabriel's comment, he'll give you all the details!

[@lekukule]

I've recently discovered your channel and have been binging your videos lately! Love your attitude and takes on videos and now metal music feels like a cherry on top of it all! Absolutely love it!

[@markunderwood912]

Hi from Sheffield Yorkshire England I love watching first time reactions to nightwish

[@bop83079]

Floor is the only vocalist that can head bang and make you cry all in the same song! She's just simply incredible. Welcome to the world of Nightwish. Enjoy the ride !

[@MrLittle3vil]

Goosebumps and tears pretty much every time. Floor is amazing (and Dutch)

[@Asa-Maria]

Pure talent ❤ pure music ❤ the feelings 💯🎶

[@phm19880]

HailHeidi Middle aged man from Finland here. I love your style, your haircut You are one heck of a package of beauty, healthy doze of energy and positivity. Your husband or boyfriend is a lucky man. Keep up the good work. I subscribed earlier allready. Thank you for your work. I am just rediscover of NW and fall in love to them after so many years. I really had start to appreciate Tuomas and his mindset. And one reason have been that I have learned from finnish media what an classy good guy he is. He do many good things here in Finland. Nightwish is even long time sponsor of Kitee's (NW's original hometown where he lives currently with his girlfriend/wife) local baseball team (finnish baseball "pesäpallo". Translate is literally 'base ball'. Its Finland's national sport) and have been spotted many times in audience, sitting like a normal jack middle of everybody, just want see the game. Pesäpallo unfortunately is not so huge sport in Finland anymore, like football/soccer, but Ice-hockey being the absolute nr1. I think he just want to give his support and respect to his small home town, and support legacy of pesäpallo. Good guy.

[@ivo215]

Floor and Nightwish are awesome. There are actually a number of Dutch singers that are, quite awesome. Floor Jansen (Nightwish), Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation), Simone Simons (Epica), and Anneke van Giersbergen (a.k.a. the Tinkerbell of metal). It doesn't get much better than these 4. And then there's Laura Guldemond (Burning Witches). Give her a few years and she'll be among them, she's getting better and better. Judge for yourself: sZKXVDkVXkk

[@Marco-Conner]

[@gsparkman]

Tears are normal with this band. Floor’s performance here is a scale of human achievement on par with Man’s first step on the Moon. Sometime tears of pride and happiness for simply being a part of the same species as Floor happen unexpectedly.

[@jukka7697]

I have been watching Heidi for a while now. Another thing I watch almost daily is Nightwish reactions. I would double subscribe if that was possible. The guitarist, Emppu, is a character. Nice that she noticed that from the first video.

[@PPfilmemacher]

Yes finally heidi reacts to Nightwish ❤️

[@astral7080]

I was at the Nightwish concert this Saturday in Stockholm... Mindblowing, the concert of my life, and Im 60, seen the most, cried like a baby!

[@steviesellers]

This is the 13th song of a 15 song set , stamina is amazing hence the small breaks , shout out to the drummer also

[@seattanf2348]

Nightwish fan and new subscriber here. I'm glad you enjoyed listening to Nightwish. I'm looking forward to following you on your journey as you continue to explore this amazing band.

[@hardyharr9377]

Every NightWish song is a master piece, also its not a falsetto that she does, its a head voice. Big difference..also you are so correct when you said that this song is an experience...Its a voyage at sea where 10 thousand sirens sing at the same time and create amazing musical waves

[@fabrizio_prina]

Hello Heidi, Nightwish Army Italian Division reporting for duty. Yes you are right, the lead singer is Floor, Floor Jansen and this is the thirteenth of fifteen songs.

I hope you will continue your journey in the Nightwish world and trust me you will never be disappointed.

[@BracchiAlessandroFineArt]
