Comparing Amy Lee of Evanescence to Floor Jansen of Nightwish is like comparing a pigeon to a dragon. Floor is next level.
@theseeker25865 жыл бұрын
Floor is perfect. She is a powerhouse vocalist and her stage presence is that of a warrior queen. And Nightwish' songs are great at creating an imaginary, dream-like, epic atmosphere that reminds me of lands of wonder, epic battles, mythical creatures, magical forests, almost like a fairytale. Their songs always manage to take me to such places and make my imagination travel to faraway worlds and dreamlands. HOWEVER, when I actually go through shit in real life, when I'm sad, angry, depressed, when facing loss etc. I will rush to Evanescence's songs and Amy's voice and emotion. Floor is technically perfect, she has a wide range and versatility and she definitely can entertain. But Amy, even with her flawed at times technique, has my heart. Amy writes and sings about reality, she discusses touching subjects and her voice is that of an angel. Pure, beautiful, yet haunting and full of emotion. Nightwish are great for an entertaining show, but Evanescence are great for a lonely, sleepless and depressing night.

Meh. Ive been a nightwish fan for a long time, and I've never enjoyed Nightwish music LESS then I have since floor took over as the lead singer. There are a couple of exceptions (Storytime and live performances of Poet and the Pendulum, Kiss While Your Lips are Still Red) but other then a handful of examples they don't have the same essence anymore IMHO. I'm not sure if it's floor of if the band is just running out of good material, but most of their music from the Floor era fails to match the "soul" and character of their music from the Tarja and Annette periods. And as talented as Floor is, there are some songs (Ghost Love Score being one of them) that just aren't the same when Floor sings them, because she great as she is at belting she just doesn't have that effortless, dark smoothness of Tarja, which was a perfect fit for the Nightwish sound. I can totally understand how Floor's vocal style might appeal more to the mainstream, as Tarja's style was quite extreme on the operatic side which isn't everybody's cup of tea - and as such I imagine Nightwish probably appeal to a much wider audience with Floor as the singer. However the fact that Tarja's voice was so unique was, to me, part of what I loved about nightwish - they had their own unique style and didnt sound like anybody else. Surprisingly enough, even as a huge Nightwish fan, I find myself enjoying Amy Lee's vocals more then Floor's. Floor's vocals im sure are more technically impressive, but she sounds generic by comparison and aside from a couple of her performances just don't hit you deep in the emoitions the way Tarja's or Annette's or even Amy Lee's do. Everybody has the right to their own opinion of course, but I think it's a bit disrespectful to liken Amy Lee to a pigeon and Floor to a dragon. If that's the case then even as a die hard Nightwish fan I'll side with the Pidgeon on this one.

Symphonic Metal is an experience in and of itself. Floor Jansen, who fronts Nightwish currently, is not only a power house, but she is a force of nature. God tier vocalist, I doubt we will ever see another with her range, versatility and talent for many, many years to come. She is simply one of a kind and a true master of her art. I've seen them live, and there aren't enough words in any diction to describe what it's like to be in front of them while they perform. The music reverberates throughout your body and her vocals manage to penetrate the soul. Most importantly, they don't treat their gigs like a job, they're there to have a good time along with us, to share their music with their fans and party together. The band loves to involve the crowd and Floor feeds off the crowds energy. The louder the crowd, the louder her voice. There's no one way street about it. When the band is having a good time, so are you. When you're having a good time, so is the band. And it shows. :) Hope you check out more Nightwish! You cannot go wrong with anything from Wacken 2013, Wembley or Tampere (and numerous other official live recordings - and I say 'live' specifically because they are a live band and their near-raw sound is leagues above the editing done to albums!). Just as well, this is Nightwish so you shouldn't limit yourself to one era of their music. They have had two other singers, Tarja and Annette. I'm sure others will have plenty of suggestions for you with them on the vocals. Enjoy!

Floor had 36 hours to learn all the songs they were playing on tour. I think, she did a fantastic job, as Nightwish songs, are not for the faint of heart, to try to sing. Thank you for playing this!

Tarja that you saw in the Phantom of the Opera video was their 1st singer. Then Annette was 2nd. Now you have Floor 3rd and current singer. Floor showed a lot of her diversity as a singer. It is worth hearing more of her. Not that Amy Lee is not a great singer, but in my opinion Floor''s vocal range is better than hers. I hope this information helped. I have been a sub for a while.

So, I wake up (makes me VERY happy), make my ablutions, roll downstairs, fire up youtube and see that MRM has *finally*, and I mean *finally* gotten around to Ghost Love Score @ Wacken 2013 lol. Glad to see you doing this one...I've listened to this well over 1000 times (not exaggerating) since "discovering" them in 2014. I knew the band, didn't like the original singer at all, so basically ignored them for a decade or so. I was just surfing KZbin and something from the Wacken show popped up on the sidebar, and it said "Featuring Floor Jansen" or something like that, and I thought...hahaha, who names their kid Floor. So I clicked on the vid & watched it. Can't remember what song it was, but my thought process went...holy shit, look at the size of that woman (she was next to the guitarist at the time, he's only 5'2 and she's 6'1)....holy shit listen to the *voice* on that woman! I couple of songs later I got to GLS, and then it was all over. I watched the whole show from start to finish at that point, and, not exaggerating again, my life hasn't been the same since. I've been lucky enough to see them twice now, with my only regret being that in the US they play real small venues, so you don't get the epic stage setup & pyros like you get in the bigger European/festival shows. Although, I was in the front row in Baltimore and got to gaze upon the Amazon Warrior Queen the whole night from about 10' away, so there was that :). Watch the whole show like I did...you will be just amazed at how good they are live, what a musical/compositional genius Tuomas, the keyboardist, is (he writes about 95%) of the music, and what a complete and total badass Floor Jansen is. She kills it from the very first song until the last, about 1 1/2 hours singing songs that are not easy to sing, especially the way she sings them (tossing around belted G#5s like they're nothing); all of which were actually written for the 2 other singers that came before her. A brilliant performance not only by her, but the whole band. They've got two more live DVDs out of shows at Wembley Arena and at Ratina Stadium in Tampere, Finland. The latter show contains the even more epic that GLS (how is that possible lol) song The Greatest Show on Earth. That's one to react to, although quite long at 20+ minutes. And, they've got an upcoming live DVD from 2 shows they did on the South American leg of their recent 9 month long tour, which should be awesome...the South American fans are quite intense :).

Well the comparison makes sense if it is made by someone unfamiliar with Synphonic metal/ Nightwish and this particular song, not the exact same genre, but to many AMericans it might be familiar. Female fronted band, gothic vibe etc. Can't lame them for that. ANd obviously some more fanatic NW fans might blow a fuse on the comparison, mostly because they misintepret it as it meaning they are at a same leel, instead of just being similar on a surface level to someone not in the know.

It's such a generic comparison. It's based only on oh both bands have female leads. The vocal style is totally different the music is totally different. It's a totally superficial comparison.

He's REALLY , REALLY good, you cannot count him out as a vocalist. Remember to check out The Islander; While Your Lips Are Still Red; and of course, Bye Bye Beautiful.

Seen them in Concert 4 times now and it always Packs a punch. You just get lost in the music and you get high off of it. The Charisma the Band as whole exudes is massive. First saw the music Video for Nemo on music tv back when that song came out. I was about 9 and listening to a bunch of different stuff including a recording of Mozarts magic flute. Got the Once Album and have been a Fan ever since. Though I must say that I had a bit of a Problem with Anette at first. She did win me over on Imaginearum just in time to hear about her and the Band separating. I was a bit anxious at first but then the Band released a live video of Floor doing Ghost love score in Buenos Aires. Ghost love score had been one of my favourite songs since I first listened to Once, so to see Floor nail it like that and even elevate it... I was immidiatly sold on her... This wacken Show and the corresponding DVD are just phenomenal.

Their music is written primarily by the keyboardist, Tuomas Holopainen. The female singer is Floor Jansen and that note she hits at the end is what we call a Floorgasm. You should check out "Nightwish - Romanticide (Live Wacken 2013)" next -- it features their male vocalist/bassist and Floor in a back and forth displaying some amazing vocal talent. Thanks and looking forward to more NW!
