NIGHTWISH performs Yours Is An Empty Hope and IYPodcast connects with the song 💬💬

[@johnlindquist1784]

Something you may not have noticed is Floor is doing ALL the growling during the choruses in this one.

[@billattercliffe8655]

It's the Cruise video - nobody catches it except for the occasional vocal coach. Normally I don't bother watching a reaction when the Cruise version is used as for me it's a "nails on a blackboard" thing since the videography is so bad, but these ladies are fun so I stuck around to watch. Loved the windmill, but take your glasses off first! ;) If you want to see how a metal goddess deals with her glasses, check out Brittney Slayes from Unleash the Archers, handle headbanging with glasses. She is getting up to sing at a karaoke bar after performing a gig in Edinburgh, Scotland. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGmTdYWnpKysgtk. BTW, Unleash the Archers "Awakening" would be well worth your time.

[@jpdemer5]

@@billattercliffe8655 It's not the best, but it's definitely the most fun. I'd have paid whatever they were asking to be on that cruise!

[@billattercliffe8655]

@@jpdemer5 Oh without a doubt it would've been great to be there. Just too bad that this great experience was represented by an out of focus, badly exposed, badly framed, poorly planned and atrociously edited video.

[@philuresky2993]

floor was doing the death metal growls, not much she can't do vocally..... true goddess!!

[@n5iln]

Most singers sing what they can. Floor sings what she wants.

[@randalljones4370]

Nice Windmill on the second attempt... the Oregon judge gives her an 8.7 for technical and a 9.2 for artistic content. This song is so much fun. And having Marko takes the cleans on the chorus, leaving Floorspace for her growls ... just genius !! btw, some folks may try and stear you other vesions of this song (Wembley or Mexico City) citing better recording/visual angles, but I heard this one first also... and there's something about that intimate/close-audience environment... you can see how the band loves to play to faces (distant crowds can be distant)

[@rnowak85]

But the problem is that the cruise performance has Floor's growls so low in the mix that only vocal coaches pick up on Floor's Death Metal growls, so non vocal coach reactors, like these ladies miss that fact and another side of Floor's amazing voice.

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

This dovetails nicely with 'Noise.'

Floor can literally sing anything. In this she sings like a siren in the mid part, normal metal vocals in the verse and growls in the chorus. So many reactors have said, she could literally sing the phonebook and I'd listen - and she has: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX24o2R6gdx4h8k

You should try Therion. They started the symphonic/operatic metal craze and are still one of the best in the genre. I would try Adulruna Rediviva live from Budapest or To Mega Therion from Wacken 2007.

[@markclements7767]

Hello beautiful ladies, greetings from UK I saw this and then I almost choked....I thought OMG THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO REACT TO IT! 🤣 I wasn't sure how you might like a more Metal song, especially after just reacting to Sancta Terra 😁 I did mention that this is one of their heaviest songs, didn't I? Please don't hate us 🤣🤣🤣 It was very 'shouty' to let the trolls know that their actions are disliked so much and to try to get through to them, but reading the lyrics the message is a positive one. They can change and they would be welcomed back into polite society if they turn from the hate and behave better Most Nightwish songs are not as harsh as this one is, and this is one of the very few that Floor growls in. Thankfully she also goes full siren in this one too to compensate This concert was on a cruise ship and was billed as "70,000 Tons Of Metal". This cruise takes place every year, and this type of event is becoming more popular as you can have a concert and not have to stand around in a muddy field somewhere, and have a luxury cabin with room service, visiting warm countries

[@nanns77]

Remember "Gandalf.. N-NOOOOOOOO!!!" perhaps? That's the sound reverberating through the ranks of the NW army whenever this subpar Baltic cruise version comes up.

[@noneofyerbeeswax8194]

This video shouldn't have passed, but unfortunately there was no Gandalfr to stop it. And there is nobody to yell "run, ye fools!" before too late... A Wobbly rematch.. rewatch.. rebirth.. would be well deserved! "Titanic" is from another video...🤣

[@janihaavisto79]

Welcome to NW army ladies. So hello from Finland from me, may I ask what part of USA are you ladies from? As in are you South, Mid area or where? Obviously for safety reasons no need to tell the State if you don't want to. I like e in Southeast coast of Finland. Little city called Naantali. All we have here is an 5-star hotel and moomin world that was build is 2 islands. So very much a summer vacation place. In near city Turku we have TPS SM-LIIGA(LEAGUE) And festivals where Nightwish has performed many times by now. Almost every summer. I've seen them like 15 times in my lifetime. But with Floor w times. Both were in 2015. Tampere concert and in Nightwish Cruise that was held in 2015 also. There were people all over the world in 1"small" cruiseliner. Compared to 70tons of metal concert in USA where they were in a huge liner which left from Miami if I am correct. Anyways, like your reactions. You should check out her own channel's cover songs she has done. Those are so good also.

[@robertsheeler321]

Tuomas (keyboards) wrote this as a big FU to internet trolls . This was in 2015 and Nightwish had a Cruse ship for fans

[@sgilliam2200]

After hearing Floor rowl, you might want to hear a variety of performances from Floor. Here are some suggestions: Floor a little heavier with a growl = ReVamp - Disdain Live at Graspop (2010). Floor with her sister = After Forever - Floor & Irene Jansen - Who I am live at P60, Netherlands (2007). And amazing duet = Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show

[@rnowak85]

Enjoyed your reaction ladies. Did you use the video link for General Gabriel's list? This performance is from their Baltic Princess cruise and while quite good, Floor's Death Metal growls in he chorus are low in the mix and easily missed. Wembley or Mexico City have her growls higher in he audio mix and is easier to hear them. If only for yourself you should go listen to either one of those to hear another side of Floor's voice. Or you can check out Floor growling in some other non Nightwish performances. She growled a lot with her previous band Revamp. Checkout Disdain live from Graspop in 2010 or Wild Card live from Bloodstock in 2014. Another good example is her as a guest with Soilwork live from Helsinki. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6q7c2p5d5t3o7c. Floor and Bjorn do a wonderfully growly duet. But one of my favorites is in her performance of Face Your Demons from her solo concert in Amsterdam in 2021 coming out of the pandemic. Face Your Demons is a song from her first band After Forever. She only growls two words but they are perfectly in context with the lyrics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqTKYoaMhsSErLM.

[@rnowak85]

Floor did a bunch of solo concerts after her Beste Zangers appearance in the Netherlands. Her fans all over the world wanted to see the final show in Amsterdam so she crowdfunded the production costs to professionally record the concert and released each song and the whole concert on her YT channel. It has a more mainstream feel and was geared to her fans from the TV show more so then her metal fans (although we love all her stuff). It was amazing show where you got to see another side of her and songs from all the different stages of her career. It was part of the foundation for her solo side project that resulted in the release of her solo album Paragon. Lot's of good stuff, live and music videos, from that album.

[@valksyvalksington6155]

This song is a reaction to the trolling the band - like anyone with any kind of name - experiences. Interesting in that it does allow a redemption path - yours is an empty hope, but you can renounce your behaviour and turn away from hatred - which is a message that is fair and humane. After all, if you never allow redemption and forever condemn the empty and hopeless there is no reason for change at all and the cycle of hatred continues, so you have to allow grace. I'm not surprised you didn't pick up the death growls - there aren't many good shots that show Floor doing it. There are a few women in metal who use this technique and most can switch between growling and clean singing on a single word. It still needs to be done well to be done safely. Although almost everyone describes it this way, I always think it odd to hear the middle bit described as a siren - since the essence of a siren is luring the involuntary to their doom. In context of a song clapping back at trolls, I don't know that makes sense. Personally I think it is more of a Banshee cry - the sound that is heard when you are doomed to die with the shout of "YOURS IS AN EMPTY HOPE" right after as a warning.

[@zbygniewprlwytzkofsky6614]

As always: her most sexy growl in this song in Rock in Rio 2015 (that must have been a great year for NW). Watch Marko dive in fear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnWZnnmritV1i5I

I might like the Rio version best. Because of her growl and... ask the cameraman what else.😁

[@sebastiaomedeiros6071]

Do a reaction to the Brazilian singer Gabriel Henrique singing Stand Up, you have no idea what awaits you 😳... and also your fans are kind and loving and will love you...

[@seattanf2348]

As someone else has already mentioned the meaning behind this song goes very well with the meaning behind their song Noise. In the video for Noise there is to much going on to take it all in at once. I'd recommend doing a double reaction where first you watch a lyric video so you can really zero in on the lyrics. Then watch the official video and focus on the visuals. If you try to take in both the visuals and lyrics in one go you're sure to miss something. This and one other song are the only time I prefer the video over live performance.

[@clivematthews5296]

This is the only song that Tuomas has written so far with growls in it and Floor does them in every chorus. It is his comment on Internet trolls. The growls are more obvious in the Mexico or Wembley concerts. Your second windmill was pretty good.
