Mom FIRST REACTION to Nightwish - ghost love score “I cannot believe this!!!”

[@MommaTaunT]

O dear … this was such an emotional rollercoaster … I had to edit it out because I could not keep it dry. Not only am I a Dutchy like her , sadly enough we both share something else too. And I do hope she can call herself a cancer survivor too in a while . My heart goes out to her and her loved ones and all prayers for a quick recovery ❤❤ Thank you so much for this suggestion. I am still so full of it and loved doing this !! 🤟🏻😉

[@sarabanas1447]

So glad u enjoyed it, Nightwish is incredible and the whole Nightwish Army is happy to welcome u!! And we too are praying that Floor is also gonna be able to call herself a survivor like yourself!! Very glad to hear u are a survivor!! Welcome again!

[@noneofyerbeeswax8194]

Don't worry about the tears and emotions. Floor can make a grown man like me cry. Recently she did it again, in a way that I could not have imagined and never wished for. I wish her - and you - to live a happy and healthy life for many years to come. Floortje... "We zijn altijd dicht bij jou".

Hier nog een lotgenoot. Ik zit al 4 jaar met open mond naar Nightwish en Floor te kijken en luisteren. Weet je dat ze in haar solo show een jazzy lied zong. Slow love . Trouwens ook van Nightwish maar dan gezongen door haar voorgangster. Van alle markten thuis. Enjoy.

[@gabriel.bardac]

Hello MommaTaunT ! 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. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as 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 3nd 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 . 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 just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: kzbin.infocommunity

People not used to metal often have a prejudice about what it is. There is a lot of metal that is angry and screaming, yes. But there is so much more metal that is every other emotion, every other passion, with so many different influences. It's a beautiful and very broad genre of music. World of music, even. Thank you for your reaction. Mensen die metal niet gewend zijn hebben vaak vooroordelen over wat het is. Er is veel metal wat boos en schreeuwen is, ja. Maar er is zo veel meer metal dat elke andere emotie, elke andere passie, met zoveel verschillende invloeden is. Het is een prachtig en enorm breed genre van muziek. Wereld van muziek, zelfs.

Je krijgt behind the scenes beelden van het 2015 concert in Tampere, Finland en dat Floor's ouders daarbij aanwezig waren. Floor is naast talentvol juist heel bescheiden en nuchter en vooral gewoon erg lief; een prachtmens. Een mooie ontdekkingstocht in de wereld van Nightwish gewenst. Geniet ervan. Groeten van een Nightwish army lid uit het Westland.

Nightwish Army (UK) reporting in Greetings, and thank you for such a nice reaction 😊 From what I have heard on Beste Zangers, not many people at home knew of Floor before the tv show. We are all immensely proud of her and are so happy that she is now getting the recognition that she deserves I think that their song 'Storytime' from this same concert might be to your taste and will show off more of Floor's vocal capabilities. You can get the link from Gabriel Bardac's post

[@stuartcollins82]

she was indeed diagnosed with breast cancer. It was picked up early on a routine mammogram several weeks ago, and she was completely unaware of it. As it was picked up early, the outlook is positive. She has had her surgery, which included the removal of a lymph node, and is hopeful to resume the European leg of the current tour on the 20th November. I have tickets in Birmingham, UK, for the 22nd. I honestly wouldn't mind if they cancelled or postponed so she could focus on recovery and be with her family.

While I've appreciated Floor's vocals for some two decades now, I never actually saw any live clip with her until I saw her with Nightwish for the first time a few years ago. Not only are her vocal skills amazing, her stage presence completely blew me away! She's able to affect me on a very deep level with an intensity that is exceedingly rare when I am concerned. Thanks for the reaction!

Awesome reaction! It's extra special hearing that you're Dutch, because it's a weird dichotomy that Floor is pretty world famous, but relatively unknown in her home country (especially before Beste Zangers). She's talked about that many times, so it's great to experience someone from her country discovering her. I also appreciate you sharing that you're a cancer survivor, and we all hope that Floor uses that same term soon. 🤟

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).

A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 You have barely scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities with this one - they are going to blow you away. Their talent, skills and versatility are unmatched - ever! Floor is by far the greatest storyteller ever! And Tuomas are not known as Metal Mozart for nothing! His stories told wrapped in complexed poetic lyrics, are really something else. And I am also a surviver - so I know, as well as you do - what Floor and her family are going through the next months and years. But Floor is a remarkable person - so I'm not worried at all. And I would suggest that you seriously consider the go to one of Nightwish's up-coming concerts in Holland - they are an insane experience live - and in The Ziggy Dome I expect there will be a duet with Henk Port (Phantom of the Opera) - which they already did in Beste Zangers 2019.

I keep getting my socks knocked off. My recommendation for your next step is Storytime, same concert, Wacken Open Air 2012. A bit of context... She had been with the bamd as a fill in vocalist (still wasn't announced as the permanent replacement) for the 2nd Nightwish singer, Anette, for about 6 months at that point. This was the first time most of the people in that crowd had heard her sing. And look how they respomded. Amazing. 😃

I hope you react to other songs from this same live 2013 Wacken concert. It's always fun seeing other react to each song. None of the songs are the same and they each have their own story. No cookie cutter repeat stuff. It's amazing how good they sound live. That's a rarity in music since most bands don't sound as good as the studio recording when they perform live. I would recommend you listen to "Storytime then Romanticide followed by "Song of Myself" next and in that order, from the same concert. On a separate note, the Beste Zangers performance you mentioned of Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort features Floor Jansen. Grab your tissues and enjoy. I can't do patreon due to my layoff and am just getting by, sorry. Enjoy Phantom of the Opera. Floor Jansen also performs Lady Gaga's song "Shallow" on the show. Be sure to watch her solo version 1st. Not the duet... Welcome to the Nightwish Army and I'm looking forward to any future songs of theirs that you may react to. Thank you!!

A whole constellation of Dutch female metal singers emerged in mid to late 90s, starting with Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering), then Sharon den Adel (WIthin Temptation), Floor (originally with After Forever), a little later Simone Simons (Epica) and Charlotte Wessels (Delain). All very distinctive sounding, all absolutely amazing and awesome, not to mention quite accessible. So if the Dutch angle piques your interest, there's quite a bit to explore and enjoy.

@@MommaTaunT Close harmony on a Thursday? Floor and another band member Troy did an acoustic version of one of their songs ('How's The Heart?'). Would that count as close harmony? kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4rXnIOme76thdE

@@markclements7767 of it’s like harmonizing with 4 or 5 people , it could be . Otherwise I have stick to metal Monday 😉

[@markclements7767]

@@MommaTaunT Ah, in that case it isn't 😁

[@jyrikeranen2962]

Next song should be "Dead boy's poem" live from Buenos Aires. Beautiful ballad and still very "nightwish".

[@mikkokankaanpaa1679]

I concur. She asked perhaps a ballad as her next Nightwish song and this is it.

[@laudatosiadastra1218]

I concur 100%.

[@elvwood]

I concur too!

Great reaction! Welcome to the world of symphonic metal.

[@MommaTaunT]

Thank you , I do feel so welcome … what an amazing comments I got 🥰

[@peterbell3199]

I can and usually do, watch/listen to this performance everyday. Just so good!

[@vhaarr]

I LOVED this reaction, thank you! Please take a look at Gabriels list and just start going from start to finish :D Please, please, please do not go off from the list. It introduces various elements of Nightwish in a gentle manner, one at a time. And please do not be tempted to jump off from Nightwish and react to Floors other projects until you're deep into the list. Nightwish is her home. Her other music is excellent and powerful, but the Nightwish journey will provide you all kinds of weird experiences like symphonic metal, folk, sea shanty, classical, opera, dance, trash, and the list goes on. You will literally never know what the next song will bring. Gabriels list has a few places where 2-3 songs in a row are similar in style, but they're still excellent and introduce other elements of the band.

[@vhaarr]

You will think, after hearing 3-5 songs, that you think you know what's coming. Trust me, you do not. You will think the same after 20 songs, and still you will have no idea.

[@MommaTaunT]

I already said in my video that I am so impressed by the devotion of the fans … never thought I would experience that myself too 🥰

[@naz88-36]

Welcome to simply put the most talented, versatile female vocalist the world had to offer. No genre she can't sing including Opera. Thx for the react. ROCK ON!

[@MommaTaunT]

Thank you

Beautiful and very respectful review. (I discovered NIghtwish in Oktober last year.) Your face shows it all: Respect, surprise, admiration, amazement and tears. The whole Wacken 2013 concert is that good so you are in for a treat. Just follow Gabriel Bardac's list. That is every? fan's guide. Just enjoy your beautiful Nightwish journey. Greetings from a new subscriber from Amsterdam.😀👍

[@MommaTaunT]

Thank you … and yes , I have been told that my face cannot lie 😉

[@rickherrell9451]

Nothing like the first time hearing NW with Floor live :)

[@MommaTaunT]

So true!!

[@bertvanpeperstraten5348]

Hi MommaTaunT , thanks for your genuine and emotional reaction to this masterpiece from this amazing talented band and to my opinion one of the best, or maybe THE best and versatile singer in the world! You still have a lot to discover, so enjoy the ride! Veel plezier en geniet ervan! 🤘💖

[@nokgod5691]

Nightwish are incredible, especially with Floor. There are a multitude of songs that Gabriel will give you (and you need to hear them all) but if you want a REALLY emotional song, you need to listen to Dead Boy's Poem live in Buenos Aires 2018. It makes me shed a tear and I'm a 52 year old bloke.

[@pouchoulou9]

Mamma thank you mamma for your reaction mamma!

[@MommaTaunT]

🥰so sweet, thank you !

[@matthewbourgoyne4601]

Yep , you picked the one , the best live performance that you will ever see , this was my first nightwish song and now it's nightwish day and night , I'm hooked

[@BoothTheGrey]

One of the crazy KZbin-Nightwish-Army-Folks who follow Gabriel in our journey reporting in. I love it so much, when the banging of the head is changing into shaking the head because of the unbelievable sound of Floors voice (4:22). Thank you very much for your very nice and emotional reaction. Greetings from germany... and from a neighbour... the suggestion to declare Floor to a national treasure 😀 Usually I would not give any advice for next song cause Gabriel says everything that can be said. But as you asked especially for a ballad... you may try "Deay Boy's Poem" ... e.g. in the Live version from Buenos Aires 2018.

[@MommaTaunT]

Danke schön 🥰

[@spikenelson6669]

floors voice does that to people. I tear up everytime i hear her sing..no matter what song..keep going down the rabbit hole. You aint seen nothing yet

[@bushman9222]

Hi MommaTaunT. What a lovely reaction to our beloved Floor Jansen and Nightwish. Many of their amazing live performances bring out so much emotion in all of us. There are a number of emotional ballads that they do but I would recommend Dead Boy's Poem from their live show in Buenos Aires 2018. Here's a link to that one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWmoZH9tnMx_g68 All our love and wishes for Floor's complete recovery from last week's breast cancer surgery.

[@MommaTaunT]

Thank you !! We share our Dutch roots and I hope I can share being a cancer survivor with her too

[@music2seeconcertphotograph457]

A really nice and honest / true reaction. Tearing up at Nightwish is something, that every Nightwish fan knows very well. Greetings from a German-Dutch concert photographer.

[@jjacks50]

Goosebumps, jaw dropping and spontaneous tears are completely normal the first time you hear this song. Actually, all of those are very common when you have heard this song 100 times. Great reaction. Thanks for the video.

[@MommaTaunT]

Thank you

[@jukkahelminen9071]

Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish !

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Great to see you enjoyed Floor and Nightwish most Dutch people never heard of Floor until they seen her on Beste Zangers. Floor can also sing in many different languages too. Floor is multi talented. Thank you.

[@MommaTaunT]

I did not see her in the beste zangers either but I did hear her name because of that. I will definitely watch that series and put it on my Patreon
