Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (First Listen/Reaction!)

[@dew2334]

You can’t stop at only 3 Nightwish songs that would be a small crime this band is so epic and each song is its own journey please do more.

[@digitalmouse3314]

Once you pop you can't stop Nightwish the band that is the Pringles of metal.

[@nikkireviews]

Oh for sure I'll do more. I just take small breaks from bands to mix it up a bit since there's a lot of band/song suggestions - but that doesn't mean I'm done for good. 😁

Another Soul Snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess Nothing you said describing Floor sounded "stupid ", everything was spot on, she actually loves Disney and even does a cover of "Let it go " and " into the unknown" from Frozen . One of the best and most versatile singers on the planet , she can do it all . Get ready for one of the most addicting musical journeys youll ever experience. Lookout for Gabriel Bardacs Comment, he'll lead you on you're path.

[@elvwood]

Yes, "Disney princess rock chick" is pretty much spot on! People have described NW as "Disney metal", intending it as an insult, but Tuomas (keyboardist/composer) really liked the description - not surprising, he's even done a solo album based on the life and times of Scrooge McDuck, though that one's not metal.

[@gabriel_bardac]

Hello Nikki [Reviews] ! 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 just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘

Hi Nikki ,...don't worry , just be you. In the end, we all see if you are enjoying the song (or not). I like it anyway. Can't stand people being fake. You are doing great.

[@nikkireviews]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. I know everyone has their opinion on how people "should" do things but I feel like as long as I'm enjoying it (and viewers are enjoying listening to the song with me!) I'll try not to worry about it as much. 😊

[@chriso6719]

Welcome to the world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. Her name is Floor Jansen(Yan-sen), she is Dutch. Yes, the band is from Finland, formed in 1996. She had only been with the band about 10 months at this Wacken 2013 show in front of 82k fans, having taken over mid tour. The keyboard player, Tuomas Holopainen is the founder and band mastermind, he writes 90-95% of the songs, and everyone is different. Your Disney comment isn't far off, Tuomas is a fan of Disney and composer Hans Zimmer. He also got interested in metal as an exchange student in the USA, going to Metallica and G'N'R concerts. Look for the comment from Gabriel Bardac (he'll be here soon), for more info and great links to a lot of their songs. I would recommend Romanticide or Storytime next, both from this same show. But, whatever song you decide to do next, please use Gabriel's links.

Thank you, and Storytime is what's gonna be next on Sunday! I post a poll on the community tab page every Monday and that was the song I put up as an option cause it was super requested...it was the winner by a LOT. 😂

[@dougsilver3184]

Don't let anyone criticize your reaction here. You said "WOW" at the perfect moment and you clearly get this music. I enjoyed watching this with you. This entire performance at Waken is worthy of a listen. You will certainly enjoy these songs and I will enjoy hanging with you for each of them.

[@nikkireviews]

Thank you! If all goes well I think I'm gonna listen to one song a week from this show until I get through it all. I need to hear more. 😁 I thought I'd record it too since Nightwish fans seem to enjoy it and get involved. I love the facts and all the things you guys share that you like so much about each song. It makes it fun!

[@70yroldgit]

Do not stop at 3 songs, you will miss many epics from this great band

[@nikkireviews]

Welcome to the world of Nightwish. The lead singers name is Floor Jansen, the best female rock vocalist on the planet as far as I'm concerned. If you want something different from them I would recommend Dead Boys Poem live Buenos Aires. Quite a bit softer but still with the power house vocals that Floor always brings. She has some solo music out as well that is incredible.

[@jimrentz]

Great choice and great reaction. Nightwish are the masters of Symphonic Metal music. From this same concert "Storytime", "Romanticide" and "Ever Dream" or any other song from this concert would be more than acceptable as they are all winners. The singer Floor Jansen is Dutch, sings in English in a Finnish band and in this video they're playing in Germany. She is indeed a great musical storyteller and she has also been known to sing Disney on her own channel. She has her own KZbin channel and does covers of many different genres as well as original material written by her. She lives in Sweden with her Swedish husband, Hannes Van Dahl, who is also the drummer for the Swedish Power Metal group 'Sabaton' and she has a preschool age daughter, Freya. She also appeared in the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' (on KZbin) where she also performed many different genres of songs with some in different languages as well as performing "Phantom of the Opera" with the original Dutch Phantom, Henk Poort. The group Nightwish has a catalog of music that blows the mind in that no two songs ever sound the same and all are amazing. Floor Jansen in a beast of a singer having been trained in classical and contemporary music. She is my favorite vocalist by far and is the most versatile singer I've ever heard since Linda Ronstadt. You're doing a great job here and remember that this is 'your' reaction and not what someone else wants you to be like. Be true to yourself and keep it up young lady. You have a new subscriber and I'm thinking there are going to be many more in the very near future.

Lovely reaction! Welcome to the glorious world of symphonic metal with it's amazing mash up of symphinic composition, orchestral instruments and heavy metal. Look out for Gabriel Bardac's comment with info on the band and links to teh best videos for songs. Nightwish songs are quite varied going from epic story telling cinematic songs like this, to straight forward heavy metal songs, to beautiful ballads, to folky metal songs. Looking through your other reactions it looks like you enjoy heavier songs so I would recommend Storytime or Romanticide next from the same Wacken concert. Enjoy the ride. Another band within this genre that you might enjoy alot is the band Epica. They are Nightwish's darker heavier cousin. They are Dutch with a classically trained female lead singer like Floor but with her own unique voice. They also have a male lead singer who use death metal growls in some songs to provide contrast to their female lead singer, called the beauty and the beast style. Consign to Oblivion live from the Zenith in Paris is a great introduction to the band for those into metal and is pretty heavy. Unleashed from their live Retrospect concert, with orchestra and choir on stage, is also a great first listen and features more of their female singer, Simone Simons, beautiful vocals.

[@LarsKoehler]

Not to mention that Floor sings at the Live Retrospect show, too 🙂

[@frankpuncekar5051]

Take it from a very old Metal Rock head and a fan of Nightwish for over 20 years. You’ve summoned the Nightwish army. Ghost Love Score was the 13th song of a 15 song set. They have no bad songs and each song in their huge catalog is uniquely different but has the Nightwish sound. They are symphonic Metal, but Floor Jansen can sing anything and make it her own. I would stick with the Wacken 2013 show, Romanticide would be my next suggestion. Then Ever Dream. My mantra for this band is, “ MY FAVORITE NIGHTWISH SONG IS ALWAYS THE LAST ONE I LISTENED TO”! The Nightwish Army that will start to join your channel let them guide you on your journey to discovering this amazing band. God Bless Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘

Sorry I'm just responding to this now, I'm still catching up with comments but thank you! I loved Storytime as well! I haven't been disappointed with a Nightwish song yet.

[@stevenhopwood8195]

You do you, girl. Don’t worry as you cannot please everybody, nor should you try. ❤️🤘🎸🎻🇦🇺

[@tod1045]

this IS the most reacted to musical performance on KZbin! This will be your most watched reaction. Welcome to the club. And.......you have a beautiful face, regardless of how you react.

[@nikkireviews]

Aw well thank you. 😊 All you Nightwish fans have been so welcoming! 💛

[@lilbo1Y1]

great reaction

[@nikkireviews]

Thank you 😊

[@AndrewBrown-fq6vp]

The fact that you are having a go is fricken awesome! Saying that your face isn't right sounds like a them problem not a you problem! Keep up the good work!

[@nikkireviews]

Aw thank you so much, I appreciate that! ☺️

Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!

[@MrDempmeister]

I actually think he knows that she is gone. She said in an interview that she brought two dragon woth her through the Bifrost. But they didn’t like it here and had to go back. So she’s visiting Asgaard now and again because she misses her dragons and her buddys back home. The allfather probably is so proud of her talent that he has granted her permission to live among us migardians for a while. So please pray to him and ask him to let her stay for another 100 years, at least!

[@MrDempmeister]

@@nikkireviews The interview part is actually true. But it isn’t a proper answer interview, its an video on her KZbin channel. She does this series called “fan friday” where she answers questions from fans ask in the comments. Some dude asked what it was like to travel through the bifrost. And she actually answered him and it was hilarious! 😂

[@melaninfactor7857]

Don’t worry about negative comments . You clearly have more courage that’s why we watch your reactions and not their reactions🙂

[@nikkireviews]

Aw thank you 😊

[@mkgym]

when you listen to Nightwish for the first time, you immediately become addicted, because no song is the same and they always surprise you, so that you want to know more, and certainly how Floor will interpret it. Haha three songs, just wait and see🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶

[@kurtsharp1409]

Hi Nikki, don;t put yourself down. That was not a boring reaction, quite the opposite. Sometimes, even a subtle smile says so much. 😀 I enjoyed your observations, not dumb at all. As other comments have said, floor has even done Disney covers, and the bands composer cites composer Hans Zimmer (Pirates Of the Carribean) as one of his influences. As to whether all Nightwish songs are similar, I can safely say that there is a fantastic variety in what they do. If you asked any Nightwish fan to "capture" what is Nightwish in just 3 songs, I think any one of us would find that a pretty big challenge. As said by others, Storytime is a nice place to go next as it's objectively a little more "mainstream" (It got to No. 1 in the charts in Finland). I hope you enjoy your Journey with Nightwish, be it long, or be it short and sweet.

[@eTraxx]

Note that Floor stands 6'1" in stocking feet .. and she is wearing heels in this performance. :)

[@nikkireviews]

Wow! 😲

[@annukkas]

Thanks for a nice reaction. 😊 Here's already a bunch of great recommendations, especially from Gabriel, so I move on to what you said in the beginning of the video. You just keep doing you. There are already enough those high energy, very animated OMG reactors. Your style is just as good as anyone else's. 👍 As a Finn I often hear or read that we as people or crowd are boring / cold / indifferent / unpassionate of whatever. Just because we are not that loud or flamboyant or whatever. But it's just our style - we experience things more internally. I remember hearing some band saying in the past that it's a bit intimidating to come to have a gig in Finland, because we actually listen (instead of screaming ourselves). 😅 Well, this is all generalization, but with a point. You are fine just the way you are, don't let trolls get to you. 💪

[@nikkireviews]

Well thank you, I really appreciate the support! ✨️💛

[@randalladams7692]

I heard this 1000 times doesn't get old I'm in tears when floor sings she does a Disney song from frozen let it go video and song you nailed it I like your feedback your cool

[@nikkireviews]

Thank you so much! And I checked out Let It Go just yesterday because a few people mentioned it - SO good!! I guess I wasn't being ridiculous when I said her vocals reminded me of Disney, They need to hire her for something in the future. Her voice is perfect for that kind of thing. 😊

[@randalladams7692]

@@nikkireviews thank you for that you will love her version she made it rock can't wait to see you check it out

[@atradventuresoutside8621]

Finally got watch this vid. You jam the way i do. On the inside. Don’t let others tell u how to react. Its about feeling the music not throwing yourself into convulsions cuz others want you too. Thats one reason I don’t get into s mosh pit anymore. It’s not like how it used to be. It was fun jump around let the force flow through you. Now a days anymore the lil ragdolls just want to get in hurt people. So since u have an appreciation for metal u will grow to be a great metal jedi knight. Another great video nikki. Keep up the good work. 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽

[@tapio7133]

Her voice does sound what she wants it to sound. Listen much more and you will see and hear that yourself.

[@eelke29]

The band is indeed finish but the singer is dutch. Her name is Floor Jansen, you mentioned disney she has a frozen cover on her own channel. For something completely different from the same band I would say you have to checkout The Islander (live at tampere).

[@P51Dfan]

You have good instincts Nikki. Nice reaction. Trust your gut. With Nightwish, you are right. There is so much variety to experience with this band. If you want metal growl, listen to "Yours is an Empty Hope". You will get to enjoy a second extremely talented vocalist in the band, Marco, sing and you will get some surprise growls. Floor is also a force of nature. If you dive into her solo or collaboration work, that's an epic journey unto itself. Check out her performances with Simone Simons of Epica. The two artists performing together are perfect.

[@jewfish68]

Hey, great reaction! I've subbed for more but hoping you break that three song limit. Nightwish is a special case.

[@johnlanham9057]

10:58 The Floorgasm brings yet another convert to the family !! 😁 Welcome Sister. You’re one of us now. Just FYI, that’s about 70 minutes into the show, and Floor had been killin’ it the whole way already. Also, that’s 82 THOUSAND people hanging on her every word; so, no pressure on her to Bury that (9 second long)high note.... At 6’1 and 170 pounds Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie Goddess, and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again. I love watching these reaction videos and my biggest hope is that people follow and enjoy the Symphonic Metal path I was led to. Welcome to it. A breathtaking masterpiece sung by a Valkyrie Goddess… or what Nightwish thinks of as just another day. 💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙 Infantryman-Nightwish Army. US Regiment. Kentucky Battalion RIP Ann Waychoff-Commanding General-Nightwish Army This is the holy trinity of Nightwish songs live with Floor fronting...

It’ll add the context you need to fully appreciate this emotional masterpiece.)

[@juanmendez3770]

Welcome to the Nightwish family,and our beautiful story telling Queen Floor Jansen ( pronounced Yansen). Not two songs are the same, and every song is a story delivered by our very humble Queen, and her very talented brothers. As for your reaction, I don’t see anything wrong with it. You were paying close attention to the music,and having a little fun (yes, I noticed your smile, and a very reserved head banging 😂). Greetings from Alabama 😎

[@williammceuen8730]

Nice reaction, like/sub for you Nikki. Nightwish is incredible, Floor Jansen is an enigma to me. She tugs at the strings of my soul. I will never understand how she does that. I mean, she is just a woman with a beautiful voice, right? Wrong, over my 64 years I have heard many women with beautiful voices, none have brought me to tears, other than Floor. She could sing happy birthday and bring me to tears, I just don't get it. Anyway, I look forward to your next reaction to Nightwish, I suggest Ghost River and Romanticide or Storytime. Stay safe.

[@brianwillson9567]

All those viewings of Wacken 13 GLS prove at least three things. 1) watch it and Floor will probably have captured your heart and soul. 2) having been so captured you will make frequent revisits and 3) every reactor on. You tube will review this performance at some point. Welcome aboard. Enjoy the Nightwish ride, INCLUDING Tarja and Annette, but you can never wean yourself off FLOOR, FLOOR, FLOOR. I look forward to your reaction to ‘Poet’, but only after you are well ‘into Nightwish’ , know something of the back story, and you stick to Floor’s rendition. Your wow on ‘the note’ , after your warning of not too visibly reacting during the number, is obviously your own ‘Floorgasm’.

[@randomman4938]

If I remember correctly, this was song #13 in a 15 song set. Every song in the entire concert is top notch! Start to finish one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

[@nikkireviews]

I think I'm gonna be making videos to go through this set. I've been rotating the 3 I know in my day to day and I need more. And it's fun reading all of the thoughts and comments from the fans that know the band best. So hopefully yous don't get sick of those videos. 😂

[@carkidmallows9746]

Hi Nikki. Yes I totally agree with the comments. Just ignore the people who try to bring you down with their negative contributions to your reaction videos. There is absolutely no way your reactions are boring. They are truly honest and down to earth, never trying to act different just for likes. Keep on being you. You now have another subscriber because of your honesty. Take care my dear. Best wishes from the UK and Merry Christmas.

[@nikkireviews]

Hello! Thanks for checking out my channel. 😁

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Nikki, first and foremost, this is your channel. The trolls can go elsewhere. Second, Floor Jansen, the singer, is since the beginning fo the 21st century, a professional certified Vocal Coach for master classes. Aside from that, she is a all around good human with lots of humor. She has her own channel. Dear, be safe and sound. Elmar from Germany.

[@keithweelands5822]

Great reaction, welcome to the army. Three songs no every one is diffrent so keep going.

[@DundG]

Your reaction is just fine. You show emotions, subtle and honest if someone takes the time to really watch you! Definetly better than those fake screaming people who do it for clicks. It was nice to see your light, genuine smile. Even more when it turned into a full big one over time. You're 100% real and that makes it fun to watch! Thanks for that 😁

[@sfowl47]

If you want the extreme opposite of this one, check out Yours is an Empty Hope live at Wembley. Little bit of a change up from this one

[@mikephillips3331]

Definitely stay with the same concert, and check out " Storytime " Song of Myself " and Everdream "... absolutely epic !!!!

[@nikkireviews]

Storytime is coming up next on Sunday - I'll be sure to do the same show because a lot of people said that is the one to watch. 😊Thank you!

[@dismalangel]

As long as your enjoying the music. That's all that matters. If people don't like your reaction they can always watch something else. Stay as you are😁

[@damienmaynard8892]

I could watch you all day! Boring? No way! Genuine!... this is part of the concert of the decade, perhaps the century! Ville Lipiainen did a great job capturing this concert - imagine what he has that we have never seen!? Nightwish are unique. This work deserves so many adjectives - atmospheric/enigmatic/majestic/triumphant et al. I hope you do more Nightwish reactions! The magic of story-telling by this band is REAL! Nice Floogasm btw! Nightwish Army, Blue Mountains Corps, Australia. p.s. 3 Nightwish songs is not enough - every piece is different and magical.
