The amount of energy and brilliance that ‪@nightwish‬ put into intricate balancing of styles, genres, sounds and cultures is out of this world!
I have never seen people dancing to a fiddle tune and gesturing with their heavy metal hands at the same time.
I truly hope you'll enjoy my story and this 'Nightwish' reaction and music analysis!

[@TimoArula]

Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered ! This is called Symphonic Metal !!! 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 new album Yesterwynde, was announced on April 30, 2024, and is set for release on September 20, 2024. 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 (one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world and one of the largest open-air festivals in Germany). The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival. We hope, that there is more coming. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.

[@headhunter8106]

What? Um no... they both have their strengths and are amazing in their own way. It was Tarja's emotion in her singing (more than most straight opera) that inspired Tuomas.

[@schout33]

When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: ‘Energize me’; Monolith of Doubt’ and Dreamflight’. Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). 'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: ‘Misery’s no Crime’, ‘Wild card’ and ‘Disdain’. Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ‘Please learn the setlist in 48 hours’ Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see. Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on KZbin. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa’ and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered KZbin in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish. Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughters Freja (turned 7 years this march) and Lucy (born last october) ,a couple of horses, dogs and cats, she found this.

The Finnish symphonic metal band "Nightwish" Greetings from Finland 🤘

[@arturama8581]

Tarja is/was a operatic singer that tried a little rock. Floor is a Rock/Metal singer that has done operatic and musical training. Four years of Rock Academy and one year each of Belcanto and Musical Theatre at the conservatory. Floor started singing in a band (After Forever) at the age of 16. She has a LOT of experience. She also worked as a vocal coach for a few years. She really studied the voice. When the second singer (Tarja was the first) quit in the middle of the US tour. Floor was called in to substitute till the end of the tour and a year later she was announced as the new lead singer.

Floor best Singer in the world. Absolute Amazing

[@larryd4352]

Welcome to Nightwish! I happened upon Nightwish over 5 years ago...as I listened to Floor singing "Ghost Love Score" and my first thoughtwas, why haven't I heard of Nightwish before now? I am 66 years old and grew up listening mainly to heavier rock bands, Ozzy & Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Steppenwolf, Boston, AC/DC, and many more...but Nightwish... They are in a league all their own. I sang in with a traveling choir in the early 1980's after I recovered from multiple operations on my left knee and thigh ( Sports injury ). It was impossible for me to stand for an hour and a half or more until 1982. We sang mainly in churches or community centers. Enjoy Nightwish! You will find d that their music spans many genres... so be prepared to surprised!

[@anonymous92126]

Greetings from the Finnish division of the great Nightwish army! Great reaction, really enjoyed it. There's no denying that Tarja had her own unique flare to bring into Nightwish's music and is a very talented artist, that being said though... Floor is simply the Cinderella shoe that fits just right. Her vocal range and ability to bring different qualities (emotion, soft, rough, power etc.) into the vocals brings it all together. She will sing just what the songs need. :)

[@betofernandez5524]

Nice reaction, NW is amazing and Floor a beast.

[@gsparkman]

Greeting from sunny Southern California. Welcome to Nightwish. Floor joining Nightwish in late 2012 is a symbiotic relationship. The songs and musicianship of Nightwish gave Floor the material to become a worldwide star in her own right, and Floor’s amazing vocal capabilities made Nightwish a more prominent band around the globe. Frankly, I think KZbin had a hand in that too. Great reaction, and I am hoping for more from you. You bring more to the table than the typical reactor’s, “I liked that song. Leave a Like and subscribe to my channel. Bye.” Cheers!

[@SokolRock]

Tarja was fired in 2005 and she hasn't been a part of the band for much longer than she was, so Tarja is a long gone history for Nightwish.

[@headhunter8106]

Not necessarily for those who followed the music from the beginning.

[@SokolRock]

@@headhunter8106 I was talking about the band, not the fans. Personally, I've been listening to Nightwish since 1999, that is, almost since their beginning, and for me Tarja is also a distant history and I most often prefer Floor's versions of old songs. Those fans who are really attached to Tarja are usually not interested in post-2005 Nightwish, that is, in fact, they are no longer fans of the band.

[@gervasioalfaro5646]

Skid row and sebastian bach, black sabbat and ozzy or dio, judas priest and halford, helloween and michael kiske, etc. A lot of bands with remarkable voices keep going without their famous singers. But... Thats really said something?. How many of them reach their prime again?. Floor its an excelent singer, and nightwish till marcos left was an amazing formation. But most of the fans who start to listen them on 90s still prefer the original band.

[@headhunter8106]

@SokolRock Relax, sport. It wasn't an act of violence, it's a disagreement. I'm willing to bet the band doesn't consider her ancient history either. She was quite literally the voice of the Nightwish legacy and was part of what gave them their uniqueness.

[@SokolRock]

@@gervasioalfaro5646 "But most of the fans who start to listen them on 90s still prefer the original band." There are always whiners grieving over their favorite line-up, which no longer exists, so what? The fact that Tarja's devoted fans have proclaimed Nightwish's death thousands of times does not affect the truth that Tarja's dismissal didn't actually affect their popularity growth.

Greetings from Canada, the story of the meetup with Tarja, and comments on the quality of the Nightwish music and this wonderful performance with Floor. Nightwish does incorporate Irish or celtic as well as classical composition elements in the music Tuomas writes. Some other songs are very folkish. fyi, there is a backing track in this song providing the additional orchestra and choir parts not played on the keyboards.

[@PomLimey]

Excellent reaction! You made some good observations and didn’t pause the music too much and you obviously enjoyed yourself! Yes, Floor is a totally different singer to Tarja. Tarja was very good at what she did, but it did limit Nightwish to a certain style. Floor can sing in any style, from opera to growls, sometimes within the same song! Floor is the best singer that I have ever heard. I hope you continue your Nightwish journey. Anything from the same concert would be a good start.If you do continue I will come along for the ride.

Nightwish -- a band consisting of truly talented musicians who play for the song. No egos here and the end result is a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. I really hope that you continue on your Nightwish journey because there is so much more to discover. I would, however, be hesitant to do any direct comparisons of the three female vocalists. You would find that some of the Army have very vehement opinions on which singer is "best". I like them all, and enjoy their differences that, together make Nightwish what it is today.

[@lillianekockritz2796]

Yes, please no comparison. Every singer had/has her era and was/is very good in it. There are hardcore fans for every of these singers but do not listen to them if they say "she is the one and only". Of course also I have a favourite singer but I would not say the other singers are bad. It is a matter of personal taste and should not be discussed.

I am pleased to welcome you to the wonderful world of Nightwish from the UK Oldies Division (East Anglian branch) of Nightwish Army. As you delve deeper into their music (as I hope you will) you will find many diverse songs. Symphonic metal is the official genre, but you will find songs ranging from metal to ballads and even a jazz track. I have subscribed to your channel in the hope that you'll keep on watching and listening to Nightwish, especially their live recordings. I saw them live at Wembley in November 2022 and it was the most amazing unforgettable experience. To hear more from them, I suggest you follow Gabriel's list or pick and mix from it. I have followed Nightwish for some time now and all the compositions and musicianship never fail to please. Looking forward to your next reaction.

[@rolandconnor575]

Gabriel is here. The Army is here.

[@donepearce]

The main difference between Tarja and Floor is that Floor does not have limits. Tarja sings her pseudo-opera, and that is all she does. Here you have heard maybe ten percent of Floor's capabilities.

[@tsiouparoglou4493]

Exactly

[@vogel2280]

You seem quite certain, but may I remind you that Romanticide is on the album Once. I think Tuomas shifted his interests rather then Tarja is not capable of rocking out. That being said, Floor IS more versatile. I don't see Tarja growling any time soon.

[@Suicideshakes]

I agree about floor's range. Much more than Tarja. Floor can sound like a pop Star, an opera singer AND a Rock star in the same song. 🤘 I hope to hear more reactions of Floor, especially, of course, this entire concert There's nothing quite like it

@@vogel2280 He seems quite certain because he is correct.

Thats what a true Gabriel Bardac fan says ... Floor also has limits. She is more versatile then Tarja. AND? Two completely different singers. Both equality great in their era's of Nightwish. Stop this Floor fanboy thing already. Floor is just PART of Nightwish. I bet Marco not only left NW because of mental problems and exhaust. BUT the disgusting Floor Simping througout the last 10 years. Nightwish will fall apart cause Simptards like You. #gabrielbardacgetlost

[@OJB42]

Yeah, some great comments, especially regarding the complexity of the music with the instrumentation, orchestra, choir, key changes, time signature changes. Nightwish aren't just about a great performance, they are also about great song writing.

[@Mischnikvideos]

During her time with Nightwish, Tarja had already complained about the other band members that they were constantly drinking. She was already a bad Finn back then ;-) The other band members often got drunk after the shows or played drinking games on the way. They still drink alcohol on stage today. Tuomas also forced the first bass player out of the band because he was drunk on stage. These guys know when they can drink a lot. Tarja was fired back in 2005 due to personal and artistic differences. The song here is one of Tarja's Era. The Wacken Open Air takes place on a former cattle pasture, which is why the festival has a bull skull as its logo. Today it is a hayfield. The contrast between female voice and hard sound is typical of symphonic metal: Within Temptation - Bleed Out (official music video) VISIONS OF ATLANTIS - Pirates Will Return (Official Live Video) | Napalm Records MALEVOLENT - "The awakening" (Cinematic Playthrough Music Video) Strictly speaking, Finns were not Vikings. But they were occupied by Swedes for a long time and took over a lot from them. They still have a good relationship with them today. For a comparison of the two singers I recommend: NIGHTWISH - The Phantom Of The Opera (OFFICIAL LIVE) Nightwish - The Phantom Of The Opera (ft. Henk Poort) (LIVE)

[@sonet1978]

I love everything what Tuomas put in this his dream, which is Nightwish..😊..

[@jaskau2462]

🤩👍💥💯🎼 Nice idea to check out, and why not react to different lead vocalists of them pulling off the same track. Not necessarily doing too much `comparison` off from each other´s, particularly. Although you already have half a ton of songs and especially live versions by them to "catch - up" in what they´ve done since F. Jansen hopped into their journey of musical awesomeness.

Erk! That stuff.. Many years ago, a couple of friends and I visited Dubrovnik, (before it was full of shell and bullet holes). I walked nearly all the way round the walls, but it was too hot, so I got down and found a bar. After a beer, I asked for a 'local drink', as I usually do in a new country, and got a large glass of the plum dynamite. Later, I remember waving money and asking for a bottle. Somehow, my friends found what was left of me and deposited me in a hotel room before I got arrested for intoxication. Took two days to recover:). Floor, well, she sounds more popular and rock here because that is what was required. She is so talented and versatile that she can interpret a song and throw an appropriate style on it. She is so stupendously good that I struggle to think of anyone who could match her:)

Nobody gives a f.uck about your story, I don't understand why you feel the need to share it.

Subscribed when you mentioned Dream Theater. Huge fan! Loved your reaction and analysis, salute from Nova Scotia Canada.

[@steviesellers]

Floor has increased the volume of the whole band they seem heavier than before in my opinion

[@TheRealRedAce]

Floor can sing any style really, from full opera arias and pop to metal growls. She's the whole package. There are examples on KZbin, particularly from the Dutch "Beste Zangers" show.

Im 55 Yrs old Metalhead ...Traja has my unconditional Love as She and NW in General were my Entry to Symph Metal back Then. That said, if i am forced to compare, Floor ssurely is the more complete and also more versatile Singer. I did spare me Anette, sorry for Her, my Bad, but i simply Love to Hear the old and actual Recordings. You know what to watch and hear in an Performance for quality rating, thx for your Recap, Dude. Stay healthy! MH, Frankonia, Germany.

sorry forgot to question: AKG 271 MK II? are you satisisfied? got mine 2 Years Ago, sadly not Austrian but China Prod. and the Cable Holding, intakeport and the intern cabeling is Way to much making Noise on the slightest Movement. Whats Your Expirience if you dont Mind?

[@FaanaMusic]

Hey, mine only had one issue with the automatic switch off when you take them off. It become faulty after a while and I had problems with headphones never turning on at times, now their ON constantly and everything is fine. I've had them over 7 years and can't really complain. I was recommended these for mixing as they are pretty sonically 'flat' overall.

[@alexandersteinmetz6857]

I also use em very frequently to listen to Music i expirience for the First Time/ i want to put on an Playlist and normalize the tracks.just for personal Uses, i am no pro in any way. did get me an BT Set anyway, as the cable really did annoy me with the noises and now its used like said, premieres, or when i norm some tracks..
