What better way to conclude the year as to recapture one of its outstanding highlights by revisiting Finnish Symphonic Metal legends NIGHTWISH taking the likewise legendary Wacken Open Air by storm? After being decorated with triple platinum status in Finland as well as gold status in numerous European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Poland, among others) for their most current studio masterpiece »Imaginaerum« and following the highly successful release of their very own fantasy motion picture »Imaginaerum by Nightwish«, the band is closing in its cycle of the `Imaginaerum World Tour´ with a festival triple -- Wacken Open Air being the first of those final shows. The `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2013-2013 visited in 34 countries, consisted of 104 shows with total audience attendance of over 1,5 million fans.

Anybody else here in 2023 still watching this video? I’ve been listening to this song on Spotify every week and watching this video AT LEAST once a month since it was posted. I am seriously so addicted to not only this song itself, but Floor’s version, specifically this performance. It’s phenomenal the way she captivates an audience of this size live and continues to captivate an audience of hundreds of thousands through a recording! Ugh! I can’t get enough.

And being with someone who sees all this is priceless. Most men are surprised when they find women like us, yet you need to wake up and stop acting like women can't listen to anything else than pop or 'love songs', can't like any other colors than pink, can't like gore and video games, can't like movies like Jurassik park or terminator.

Wonderful story! Guess you can say you was thinking quite in the right direction then :)

[@schneevongestern9898]

This entire Wacken 2013 performance shows Floor in absolute and full vocal glory. She always was and still is supremely good. But that night she surpassed herself. This is, hands down, one of the best vocal performances I have ever heard. I believe she is in her later vocal prime currently, her absolute peak being roughly 2010-2013, and now still being VERY far away from vocal decline. Imagine being in your later vocal prime and still being better than 99,9% of singers will ever be on their best day. Also, her vocal prime is pretty prolonged compared to most other singers. She is also so consistent in her singing. When this show took place, she already was a performing singer for over 15 years. Now this show is almost a decade old. And she still is amazing. That is very impressive. She kept getting better consistently for a long time, she prolongs her vocal prime to well over a decade, more like 15 years, and her vocal decline (which will happen. it happens to every single singer eventually. It is natural and inevitable.) will presumably happen firstly: very late and secondly: very slowly. I never was so impressed and in awe by any other contemporary singer. Her range, breath support, breath control, coordination, intonation, projection, versatility, expression, diction, longevity, efficiency, consistency, vocal control, stage presence, charisma, authenticity, crowd interaction, every aspect you could think of, she does it perfectly. Just admirable. Tuomas as a composer and Floor as a singer are a match made in heaven. Also the fact that Floor gathered skill and experience for 15 years before she joined Nightwish was very important for this combination to become this amazing. And even though Nightwish with Floor as a singer gave countless brilliant performances and even though this entire Wacken 2013 show was as good as live music can possibly get, this particular song, Ghost Love Score at Wacken 2013, is probably the most glorious and elevating and overwhelming moment she as a singer and this entire band will ever have given to the world. I will never get tired of listening to this. Never. I vividly remember how I saw this video for the first time. And how overwhelmed and captivated I was. Forever grateful for being able to listen to such music.

[@zamSEG]

well said sir and i agree with you 100%... 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@rob_silveira]

There are controversies....

[@temerson2]

The best point you made here was about Floor's consistency. There are videos on youtube which compile her performances, especially the 'floorgasm' and she hits the exact same tone on the same note so perfectly that when the videos are put together it sounds like a choir of the same person. She does not vary, she hits the notes as intended perfectly EVERY TIME.

[@IckeRalph]

Exactly this.

[@felixjiu638]

Not sure if its just me but I feel her decline is already happening, particularly for her power on high notes and her vocal durability. Occasionally I could feel her intentionally reserving energy and using a thinner voice on notes that I thought should be more explosive. But still it is reasonable as she is already in her 40s and she is still the best female singer I have seen

[@CowtownJohn1]

When Floor reaches “My fall…” it’s like flying. I can’t explain it any other way. And boy, I miss Jukka. I swear, the goosebumps won’t stop.

Definetly legendary and i was fortunate enough to be there having seen both Tarja and Anette this was my first time seeing Floor in Nightwish and by god i was euphoric.

Floor Jansen has to be one of the best female vocalists on the planet today!! Her range, power, diversity, emotion, techniques and sheer talent are second to none!!

[@petergurton6769]

Agreed. I first heard Nightwish around 2007. I liked the songs but couldn't take to Tarja's vocal. Discovered them again mid 2022 and could not believe Floor's vocals. The power, tone and range are unlike anything I have heard, not least is her ability to switch between operatic and rock voices, sometimes mid sentence. And it's not just the singing, but her stage presence. I like Annette's voice on Imaginaeum, but Floor is in a different league, and that is no disrespect to Annette, just my opinion on how great Floor is; her voice is a gift to the world.

Then I listen (and watch too) allmost all songs. This one is best made and performed. This song is made for history and eternity. Ghost love score is same rank as Bohemian Rapsody on Wembley. Maybe even better. To describe voice and performing of Floor is impossible. Until now it does not exist words to do it. All team was perfect on Wacken. All songs are performed extraordinary.

[@claudiorabaglino6079]

Waken 2013 - the epitome of Nightwish performance, the complete band, from Floor to drummer. This is Nightwish, this is their legacy. The height of their performance that will never be reproduced. This is my opinion. I am 73 and I have seen and heard the best. They are up with the very best. Floor oh Floor, you have bound this band into what will be only surpassed with great difficulty an musicians. I love you all.

I can't explain It, but everytime I heard thia music, it brings me to tears. It is so epic, so beauty, the voice, the atmosphere, the eneegy. Come back to Brazil, plz. Cheera

[@Condoi2]

My favorite version of Ghost Love score. I've always thought it was a beautiful song. Tuomas writes such beautiful music, really a great talent! There was something magical about this whole concert. The sound is perfect, the band tight as ever and Floor really put her stamp on the music and was embraced by many. What I love about this version is the way Floor uses her voice: very diverse, which fits the song beautifully and then that end note! As far as I'm concerned, the best and most beautiful of which there is a professional live recording. The way "for" sounds here gives me so many goosebumps. Also my favorite ending in terms of melody (that can differ per performance). What I regret is that Floor no longer sings "Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home" etc in the aggressive operatic way as on this version and the Tampere 2015 version. I think that fits that part really well, better than the more softer way she started singing it later where the vocals get drowned out by the music. I think that aggressive operatic way is great and very powerful. And lets not forget Emmpu's solo! Like all his other solos this one is beautiful and recognizabl! Just a pleasure to listen to and watch, this great performance!❤

Nightwish is infinitely better having you as frontwoman.

Tarja's version is great, but Floor brings a bit more power into this songs. Although first low part here was a bit weird, but then Floor just made this into her song. Don't get me wrong, Tarja's concert version is great but Floor right here gave an amazing performance.

[@annsolorzano6817]

This one should go into music history books as one of the greatest performances EVA!

[@d3m0nger]

And still only 4 Million views on KZbin. I feel pitty for every person living on earth without enjoying this!

[@palmerbrdr86]

One of the greatest performances of all time!

[@LPrulez943]

What gets me every time is that cheer of instant recognition when the song starts.

[@simongambale3698]

Floor Jansen sublime interpretación vocal ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@elizabethrandel4770]

Still brings me to tears, Floor's voice is immaculate

[@Donasaur7734]

Every time I stumble back onto this video I find myself crying. It's unreal how powerful this performance is.

[@reeilona]

True.

[@eartheartbaratheon791]

If it was played on the radio I'd listen to radio stations.

[@NimicNOR]

I've listened to this every day for a month now, it gets me every time.

[@Yvainne1]

I'm only a college teacher, but I've got a photo of Floor Jansen slayin' it on my door to remember kindness, professionalism and the power of femininity!

[@shsz1984]

This might be the only song on the planet that can take your soul for a ride to paradise.

[@Xaari]

Floor has exceeded all of my expectations. Long live Nightwish!

[@coolgabe64]

Why am I here every day?

[@pizzashiny7018]

Hello my old friend

[@garytorresani8846]

As many times as I’ve listen to this performance, today, July 4, 2022, on the celebration of the birth of my country, I’m so greatful to be alive (I’m 74) , to be a musician and singer, and to be able to hear this band again and again. Today, I cried tears of joy and had multicultural floorgasams over and over again. She reached me deep in my heart and soul. Thanks Nightwish army for bringing me to this band, and most importantly to Floor and the absolute joy she has in singing and bonding with the audience.

[@kathyhall3964]

What a Performance, Nightwish are out of this world, Floor sings like an Angel, The Drummer is just Amazing, hard work❤❤

[@akira1228]

- Am I dead? - No, you silly. - So why do I hear an Angel?

[@1malakian]

I cannot get enough of the majestic Floor!

[@PekkaKolehmainen]

I have watched this dozens of times, if not three digit numbers, and every single time it brings tears in my eyes. If I listen to this alone, loud, or through headphones I am pretty much crying in the end. WTF?

[@bcornbally8424]

same thing here! LOL

[@ThePrezesito]

Coz its The greatest performence of this song Ever? Floor is a freaking Goddess.

[@mortemium]

It's Floorgasm, totally normal reaction :)

[@davidlock2666]

Gives me goosebumps

[@mooonman66]

I love how she does that little gesture, then pulls it in to start singing. That's so expressive.This girl is phenomena!!!!

[@cheechchong9939]

WOW! Her voice can melt the soul. Like hearing an angel sing. Absolutely breathtaking It should be illegal to run an ad during this masterpiece

[@scandiman68]

I love when Emmpuu goes for a stroll and gives everyone a 'great job' pat on the arm.

[@roddo1955]

I read somewhere it is his que to remind the others to check if their earpieces are still on. Is this is true?

[@Stinkydo0d]

@@roddo1955 Judging by how Floor said, "There goes Emppu, walking around touching everyone! He always does that!" I don't think so. He's just one of those people that has that personality. But he does sometimes turn the other guys' earpiece units down as a practical joke. lol

[@IsabelDraiman]

FLOORGASM

They played this as the encore of a live show I was at several years ago and I nearly fell off the balcony

[@ACIoannina]

When Tarja was still in NW, I didn't like this song very much because I always felt that it was building up to something and abruptly ended, when I heard the Floor version I felt for the first time that this song was complete.

[@TheCHF92]

Floor you are the best!!!!

[@AtooziGames]

Nightwish is an example in its genre.this is one of the best performances I've seen. in every case it is great. I can't believe it's a live recording. everything is perfect. from playing instruments to sound engineering and more. Floor Jansen is extraordinary. vow. man, even the tempo is great.

[@jimmiphaze5785]

I'm sitting here crying right now of joy of a special performance I was part of

[@JamplayJeff]

What an epic performance. The end gave me goose bumps.

[@izzykraid]

Then you should watch this performance Live in Buenos Aires.... That one gave me chills

[@sierradelta6524]

OMG , this song!!! It's a solid gut punch of a track. And those last notes Floor hits make me cry without fail EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!! It's like she's hitting right in the centre of my soul. These guys are absolutely, without a doubt my most favorite band of all time.

[@Kreighouston]

This is one of the all time greatest performances of any singer and band in history. I have been sharing this beautiful lady and her once in a lifetime voice with my children and grandchildren. They have been mesmerized by the beauty. Thank you Floor and all of the Nightwish family.
