She's so beyond perfection... It's unworldly.

[@svolos1971]

"This is the most personal song I’ve ever written. My testimony for the whole world. With this song I want to apologise to everyone who deserves my apology. It also makes an “I don’t care” -statement to the ones who deserve it. The song is also about what Nightwish means and has meant to me. It (Nighwish) is everything, without it I’m dead. I have created it and it has created me. When I pass away, this song’s lyrics are what I wish to be remembered by: An Ocean Soul." Tuomas Holopainen

[@TheIpadfanatic]

Floor may have delivered her best performance in this song. She gives us every side of her talents in this one. My favorite Nightwish song.

[@pdutchie4924]

Mine as well❣️

[@rome8180]

The end gives me chills every time. It may be my favorite Floor moment. It's got a lot of strong competition though.

[@zenszufi]

This is how anyone who understands and feels quality music will respond. Thank you dear JVB

[@sixtuspettersson6059]

Swan (Finnish national bird) takes you to TUONELA ! "(Valhalla")

[@fraukehammer4624]

Nightwish at its best, the whole Band.

[@mattilindstrom]

One of the best reactions to this song I have ever had the privilege to see, and I do not say this lightly. This is a deeply emotional one, for every listener for their own reasons. One thing that can be said universally, is the voice and presence of Floor. And as an aside, there are few who can pull off the Till Lindemann moves (in the lead part to the end crescendo). Floor nails it!

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

Thank you so much!

[@1963nmp]

This is the first time I've heard this song incredibly and JVB you are right " What the hell ". I love your reactions. NIGHTWISH RULE. Incredible band. One or the one of the best I have EVER heard. I am 60 next year

[@billmorrison8292]

If you loved the first part of the song and the softness of her voice you should watch her version of Shallow (Lady Gaga) on the Beste Zangers TV show. She outdid Lady Gaga in my opinion. She also did a version of Phantom of the Opera with Opera singer Henk Poort. D6 for 8 seconds. All of her songs in this programme are incredible and she sings in 4 languages German, English, Dutch and Spanish.

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

Watching a beautiful woman drool over another beautiful woman. It doesn’t get much better than that 😎

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

Thank you 💖

[@WardDorrity]

Nobody else can compose and perform Like Tuomas, Floor and Nightwish. Tuomas writes performances. Another commenter said, "They're like gods... with instruments." There is so much genius in this work that it is difficult to know where to begin. Everything, from the stage set to the lyrics to the music itself has a purpose. Floor's heart-rendingly beautiful performance is beyond comparison - only she could deliver the emotional truth of this work. There is so much more here to understand. Note the swans in the background - these are the swans of Tuonela, said in Finnish mythology to be the conveyors of souls to the afterlife. Note how the boy has his arms raised in the hope and the longing of embracing that journey, yet - there he remains. It's worth a listen to Sibelius' The Swan of Tuonela to see where part of Tuomas ' inspiration came from. Here's Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpvcfYqlf9ung6c. Exquisite. Emppu's ravishingly beautiful solo is David Gilmour class in the way it conveys the sadness, the anguish of a soul who has been left behind in a lonely and forsaken world. It's a cry of anguish, reinforced by the funereal march of the music behind and complementing the solo. You'll hear that same sort of expression in David Gilmour's last solo of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. I always felt that towards the end, it became the funeral march of a lost and tormented soul. All of the anguish and regret of something glimpsed and lost is distilled and channeled into one extended searing cry. So it is with Emppu's solo, yet it is so deftly and effortlessly woven into this masterpiece of Tuomas' that you don't quite realize what it's doing to you. Note that there is none of Emppu's usual smirking or goofing around in this one. He is dead serious (excuse the pun) and it shows in his expression. So much so that he has to turn away from the audience when he is done. Now this is going to tick some of you off but sincerely, I don't care. Floor is the goddess that Tarja never was, never will be. Tarja's operatic talents are beyond dispute. You can admire her talent as you would an exquisite work of art, but somehow it's always at arm's length. Tarja lacks the emotional depth and sheer empathic power that Floor has. Floor becomes what she sings. And Floor can sing your soul right out of your body. There is only one other talent that can stand in the company of Floor, and that's Simone Simons of Epica. You'll hear what I mean in performances like Unleashed and Kingdom of Heaven (part 3). We are fortunate to share this worldline with these two incomparable goddesses.

[@louisminten7889]

Her voice melt my soul, if that make sense every time

Yes, friend, for me too. 🤘

[@missrubyphoenix]

Chills... Just chills.... And tears about fall with that soft tone, I have a soft spot for Dead Boy's Poem, is so sad, but delicate, so special. It made me fall in love with Tuomas' songwriting And fun fact: this video made me realize Emppu (guitarrist) has blue eyes lol I imagined they were light, but still... Also seeing him so serious is very unusual but it fits the song's mood perfectly

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

That bass/guitar combo I think is specially built for Marko and fondly nicknamed The Beast because it weighs close to or just over 8 kg.

[@R---66---R]

Dear Jacqueline... First: I think all Nightwish-members ánd their family (us all), are exc. these kinds of people you talked about, in the last part of your outstanding warm and beautiful reaction. Second: when Floors incredible voice (this huge and incomparable 'instrument') has been left 'dry', so, not a single important effect been layed over it, she belongs to the very few real artists worldwide, who sounds so deep and warm...her vocai capabilities are so 'in control'! Jacqueline, thnx for your honest, genuine reaction...it helped loads of people

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

I want to comment on Floor's singing, but I have nothing adequate. Note: Don't try not to cry. That is the beauty of her singing.

[@dieseldog00]

The untouchable Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen!!! There is NO frontwoman stronger and more powerful on the stage than Dutch Coloratura Soprano Floor Jansen!! She is the third singer for Nightwish and the most versatile. We love her and all of us have chills and goosebumps(Floorgasms)on every song.

[@joeweller9941]

Loved your reaction! This is also what this song does to me … every time. The build-up to the release at the end is phenomenal! Then the vocals at the end just crush me to tears. This song, as you noted, is unexpected and yet so devastatingly powerful. I’ll be watching your reaction a number of times over. Edit to add: notice that when the song ends the crowd chants, “Floor! Floor! Floor! … “

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

Thank you. Yes, super powerful.

[@alanrichardson1297]

Absolutely stunning reaction x

[@haralds9996]

great reactionJvB, yeah indeed an epic masterpiece that obv. means a lot to Tuomas and the band; you can see it by the seriousness and perfection they performed it. Floor shows so many versatility in this song, and the last belts are so emotional; standing with the fist in the air like a super hero at the end. She is Unique. ❤❤🐺🤘💥

This is such an emotional song and performance. 😎🤘

What a great reaction, thank you!

[@mattphillips538]

One reason I like watching JVB react to Floor is that they both have flawless rhythm. That's no small thing for a singer.

[@fraukehammer4624]

This is why the Nightwish Army called Toumas the Mozart of Metal and Floor is his voice that transported his thoughts to the stage and to the fans.

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

The Visuals are just as Powerful as the song. For me this is one of the Epics 😇😇😇and of course Floor proofs once again that she is a Goddess of Empathy 😇😇😇😇😇. Hail Nightwish

[@dagaz1066]

Heard her preform this song so many time, and still everytime goosebums and shill's. She truely is a the goddess of metal. May I dare to say.......the best female singer around......Just love every preformence I hear, and see.

Emppu's face shows the heart he has put into this amazing song! Stunning. Greetings from Northern Ireland.

Emppu being unusually serious. Marco jamming with Troy. Floor starts off softly, building, soaring higher and higher, oooh. Multi! Yep, duty to share. Not always easy to do.

[@mikeatwork3279]

You seem to be ready for "The Poet and The Pendulum". I usually don't suggest this masterpiece too early, but I can see, that you will feel the gist, and hear the anguish in TPaTP. If you check out some information, about what all did happen, at the time when Tarja got fired, you will be able to carry this wonderful piece even closer to your heart. "The Poet And The Pendulum" - Nightwish. HQ with lyrics. Live @ Wembley 2016 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3bdi4WDqc2bjrc

Thank you Dolla!!!

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

That double neck instrument is even more amazing in that it SOUNDS like a big body acoustic. Outstanding timbre. I love when Empu plays it is just plain right. Fast, slow fine, complex...always right.

Tolle Reaction! Man merkt, dass du Nightwish und Floor genau so sehr gefallen wie mir. ;-) Grüße aus Österreich!

[@NickBR57]

One of my top 5 so looking forward to this. That guitar is called "The Beast". It's a Warwick Bass and Framus guitar (parts of the same company). Emppu is more serious in this than any other I can think of. Even in TPATP he smiles but not here. Knew you'd love it.

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

Love "The Beast" ;) Yes, loved it.

[@jpsother1183]

Tuomas wrote a song on the latest album which touches upon what you are talking about at the end of the vid. "How's The Heart" asks just that. It also has a nice little part about Floor and Hannes meeting, getting married, and having Freja. You can see Floor's eyes light up on the lines, and she and Troy did an acoustic version for Planet Rock( kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4rXnIOme76thdE ), and for one of the Live Streams. How's the heart Underneath the silence? How's the one Drowning in the mire? Let us sound a human paean Come in, the fire's warm Burn the rope and dance some more

[@karljensen6768]

By the way! I've been told that Floor was feeling ill during this concert, with a fever, and yet she pulled that performance 🥰

[@gayleeidson6724]

I still cry at the end of this song, after hundreds of listens. Also in Shoemaker !! Wonderful Reaction, girl ! Absolutely wonderful ❤️!!!

[@fraukehammer4624]

Two things i must wrote. First your reaction and your face and body performance hits me right in the heart. and second, i like the way you respect Emppu. Emppu is the most underrated guitarist in the world, why? Emppu is not a poser, Emppu is just "Emppu".

[@Drinckx2]

Great reaction as ever Jacqueline. I love this song and they should include it as part of their set list. Her range of vocal talents on display here is extraordinary.

[@bradleydupre2975]

Hi Jacqueline , great reaction and a little misty eyed . I have a request for Steve Perry - Were Still Here from 2018 , it would be his return to music after a 25 year singing hiatus . I would be awfully greatful .

You remind me of an Egyptian Queen in this reaction, very cool look indeed. Fun to experience this music with you.

Loved the reaction Jacqueline, don't worry about holding the tears back, I cried for you as I'm sure most of the others watching did. Please don't hold the tears back, just let the emotions flow out naturally. As you will know only too well as a musician, this is what music is all about. Take Care X

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

Thank you Lee!

[@clivematthews5296]

A beautiful reaction, you might be ready for The Poet And The Pendulum although your remarks about talking to people might lead you to How's The Heart off the latest NW album. Either the album version or the superb acoustic version by Floor and Troy.

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

Thank you. It's on my list, I can't wait. Acoustic version sounds awesome.

[@LenaDee666]

apart from everything from this songs xD what gets me most I think is Empuu's solo cause he so often has his jokster face or just like fun and all, but you really can see the emotion of this song in his face

[@Thorgrim247]

One of my favorites from Floor and the boys. What an ending! This is a very emotional and personal song for Tuomas. The small child's voice represents Tuomas speaking. When asked what this song was about "Tuomas has said about this song, that it's about if he were to die tomorrow, what would he want to say to everyone that he loves, and that love him..." Notice the small boy on the screen reaching out to the flying swans on the screen. The swan is the guide to the afterlife in Finnish mythology. He is reaching out to implore them to take him with to the other side. A beautiful song filled with sadness from an unfulfilled destiny. Loved it JVB! 💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏💎😊 Your ending commentary sounds like you need to check out a new song from Nightwish. "How's the Heart"

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

So beautiful. Thank you for the song suggestion. ;)

[@aether13x69]

Marco is an exclusive artist of Warwick guitars. Thats a Warwick Infinity/Panthera doubleneck bass/guitar. And as always Emppu is rocking his beautiful signature ESP EV-1 model.

Loved your reaction. Completely spontaneous and genuine. Your enthusiasm and joy are infectious! Totally agree with your comments about the many different colors Floor uses in this vocal masterclass. She blends them seamlessly, and seemingly effortlessly. Now for a suggestion. I don't think you have reacted to Sahara live yet. It is well worth checking out, as Floor is a vocal chameleon in this, also! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooXZipmClpmKos0

[@bigg2988]

You should really hear the Tarja version of this as well (if not for us, then for yourself :)). It is just as beautiful, but the vibe is different, darker and, dare I say... more Gothic? Very fitting for the song and its subject matter, and that was the original version, you know?.. This was arranged a bit differently for the 2018 tour.

[@randyblankenship8203]

On to Deep Silent Complete

[@gustavofrancopimentelgusta5757]

Floor é uma Deusa, quando ela abre os dois braços, lembro imediatamente do Cristo Redentor , no Rio de Janeiro, abençoando a todos, o que ela também o faz com sua platéia e seguidores. Um espetáculo de pessoa.

[@RolandDeschain1]

This may be the only Nightwish song I actually prefer Tarja's vocals on. She brings an ethereal quality that just defines the song for me.

[@nevermore5168]

The boy reciting the poem, his name is Sam Hardwick. He. was eleven at the time. Not an actor or singer just a boy that I believe Taumas (forgive me if I spelled his name wrong) has known for some time. I could be wrong but in my eyes it's about a boy who is misunderstood and wishes things were like it was. All in all my freaky darling it is a beautiful song🌹🥀

[@wernergatterer2953]

Hi Jacqueline! Nice to see you again! I like this song, also "Slaying the dreamer" from the same show! But i like the whole conzert in Buenos Aires '18! Maybe you will make an reaction from another band so between your NW reactions, from EPICA the song "Unchean Utopia" maybe, the version from the "Omega Alive" conzert or the official live video from Brussel/Belgium in 2015 what i also really like! Simone is on fire there, i love the first minute from that song! And i would wish you could do an reaction of the Tristania song "My Lost Lenore"! The version with subtitles posted from My Agony - they make an very nice video for this song with pictures in the way of Lois Royo or Fictoria Frances pictures! There is no really good live performance video, if you're a fan ok but for first time hearing you should do the album or the My Agony version. Wish you a nice weekend! 🖤 Bye! 🖤
