Nightwish - Phantom of the Opera Live | Reaction. Alright so I finally got to listen to Tarja and I was absolutely stunned by what I heard!! She has such a powerful voice that blew me away! These 3 beautiful women of Nightwish are so incredibly talented and each one brought something unique to the Nightwish sound. I am happy that I reacted to this song!

Fun fact Andrew Lloyd Webber said this was the best cover of the phantom of the opera he also said that this was what he wanted the phantom of the opera to be.

Not that I don’t believe it but, source? I’ve seen this stated many times but have yet to be able to find a quote anywhere.

Tarja = Queen of the Metal Queens She has many great songs after Nightwish. A nice dark Christmas album.

[@diceymaan]

'Nightwish - Siren' live with Tarja is absolutely amazing ❤️

[@satanonfire666]

tarja is a real life godddess

[@ValtteL]

Tuomas and Tarja had performed in school music projects. Tarja had, I would say typical young girls voice, nothing special yet. Couple of years later Tuomas started assembling the band. The original idea was to make atmospheric music, but there was an unexpected thing what changed everything: ------ In 1996, Tarja was on her Christmas holiday in Kitee. "I had spent the semester in the church music department of the Sibelius Academy in Kuopio. It was a really cold day in Kitee. Tuomas rang our doorbell, I remember him wearing a green parka and combat boots. He modestly told me he wanted to talk to me about something. He had brought a couple of cassettes with him and asked me if I could maybe listen to them. The music turned out to be really beautiful." Tuomas remembers that Tarja immediately agreed to join the band. Having no clear idea on the vocal melodies, Tuomas basically gave Tarja the task to figure them out herself. "There were three songs on the demo, and one of them was called 'Nightwish'", Tarja recalls. "Tuomas gave me the lyrics and backing tracks and said that he had a certain melody in mind, but I was welcome to come up with my own interpretation." At the time, the goals were not set too high. "The whole thing was supposed to be just an experiment - we'd record a demo and maybe sent it out to some record companies", Tuomas says. "There were no plans whatsoever to play gigs or to aim towards anything more serious. Tarja figured it would take maybe two days for her to sing the songs in the studio." "Tuomas called me and said that we have a vocalist", engineer Tero Kinnunen recalls. "I remember the Saturday morning we sat there waiting for her. A car pulled up to the yard, and out came a woman wearing a fur coat. I thought it was some granny in her thirties, but then I saw her face and noticed that it definitely wasn't the case. I believe Tarja was 17 or 18 at the time. The Huvikeskus studio in Kitee wasn't anything like it is today. The control room was in the theater, so we set up a mic there and started recording." Tarja went through the vocal melodies with the boys, and when the time came for her to start singing, the guys' jaws dropped to the floor. "It was such a shock for us when she first started to sing", Tuomas thinks back with awe. "I thought we were going to hear a clear, young, beautiful, girly voice in the style of Kari Rueslåtten or something - instead, Tarja had a high-pitched, bombastic voice that was already very dramatic and classical. She surprised us completely." Once Upon a Nightwish: The Official Biography 1996 - 2006

THANKS for some TARJAWISH !!!!! In love with the divine TARJA'S vast diverse brilliant solo career !!!!!! 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘

[@chriso6719]

Tarja is the most operatic of the 3, and yes, her and Marko singing together was awesome. This performance was in Helsinki 2005. The DVD was called End of an Era because it was Tarja's last Nightwish show. After the concert, the guys gave her the open letter dismissing her from the band after 9 years and 5 albums. Andrew Lloyd Weber loved this too, he has said that it is his favorite or one of his favorite versions. Since you want to hear more from Tarja, try Wishmaster, The Siren, Planet Hell, NEMO, Sleeping Sun, or Wish I Had An Angel. All from this same show.

[@realulli]

Don't forget Elvenpath...

[@SuperDave1426]

A little additional info: This DVD was recorded during their final concert of the "Once Upon a Tour" tour, promoting their fifth album, "Once." As you noted, this was her last performance with them - after the show had completed, Tarja was fired by the band. She had no idea this was also her final concert with them. As noted below, Andrew Lloyd Weber stated that this was his favorite non-traditional rendition of the song.

[@brianalmeida1964]

"Have all 3 sung together". No, but after Tarja parted ways with Nightwish, Floor did duet live with Tarja on a cover of a Gary Moore song that Nightwish had previously covered during the Tarja era. The song is called Over The Hills And Far Away. Tarja and Floor's performance is available on KZbin but unfortunately it is not high quality as it was filmed by a fan. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

Hell yes! This is Tarja! My gothic youth)) Floor is incredible, she can sing anything. But Tarja is the golden age of Nightwish symphonic songs! This is a video from the "End of an Era" concert (2005). I recommend watching it whole)) And if you want to be even more amazed by the sound and visual diversity, check next time and create a reaction to the song Creek Mary's Blood from this concert) you won't regret it) or High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover) where Marko sings solo. Wishmaster, Planet Hell, The Siren. Damn!!! they all great and legendary!)

[@chadbennett7873]

This concert led, eventually, to the "Poet and the Pendulum" as Tarja was fired after this show. It amazes me how Tuomas is capable of taking a traumatic experience, as it was for all involved, and turn it into a masterwork of emotion. That's just what a genius does, express things we feel in a way that helps us cope with our own feelings. Looking forward to when you reach that particular work of art. ALWAYS enjoy your reactions, it allows me to re-live my first time hearing the song as well.

[@artohumppi1855]

After this is logical to go "Bye bye beautyful"," Master Passion Greed" and then The Poet

Her voice just gives them so much atmosphere

[@ristohyvarinen8448]

Hi, this song was the first song of Nightwish I ever heard years ago. My reaction was excatly the same as yours. I was blown away. Tarja and Nightwish was something new on that time. Especially Tarja was a great idol for those young ones as seen on this video. That's why those tears in their eyes. Wishmaster sang by Tarja would be a good choise to react to. In that song Emppu has nice guitarsolos. Thanks for this reaction, it was fun to see you liked this. See you, take care.

[@Benobot99]

Legendary performance. My favourite from Nightwish. :) Glad you enjoyed it. Marko is insane!

[@kazfarah7623]

"This is the best rabbit hole i've ever gone down" same!!! I've only been going though their albums recently, too, and yes, obsessed. And your reactions are so fun and wholesome to watch, thanks for sharing!! For Tarja, our Goth Queen the best quality for songs are from the End of an Era (2005) and From Wishes to Eternity concert (2000)! The latter has a v soft spot in my heart, they were super young back then and it has a certain kind of magic and energy to it:))

Hello JyngerSlapz. Tarja was performing a show in Pratteln, Switzerland. Her band fired up The Phantom of the Opera. Marco walked out to join her in a duet. Oh my gosh. Tarja and Marco reunited to perform the Phantom for the 1st time in 18 years. It's different, just like we should expect everything these beautiful humans do. Oh. And her dress is hotter than the center of the sun.

[@wayneccj0710]

It is important to note that Tarja & Floor are good friends & have been for a long time. There is some disagreement among fans about who is better but the ladies themselves are close friends & admirers of each other. It is amazing the one band was able to find & hire each of these women in just one lifetime.

[@okiejohn3925]

It is my uinderstanding that Floor even checked in with Tarja prior to joining NW to make sure she would be cool with it. Tarja gave her enthusiastic blessing. Floor wasn't good friends with Anette, so she didn't feel the need to check with her...but I suspect Anette wouldn't be cool with it, since she said she didn't want Floor to stand in for her when she was sick/pregnant mid-tour 2012...she knew it would be the end of her time with NW if Floor took the stage.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I haven't heard of Anette and Tarja meeting, but Tarja and Floor have been friends for years. They've sung together at least once at one of Tarja's solo shows. I believe they met when Floor's first group, After Forever, and Nightwish toured together. I think Anette and Floor met when Nightwish toured with Floor's second group, ReVamp, but I've never seen anything that indicates those two had anything other than a professional relationship.

[@yksvaan1690]

I have a soft spot for Anette and Floor is obviously amazing. But the Tarja era gigs were ridiculously good. And Tarja deserves credit for starting the band with Tuomas. Nightwish battled through the first two low-selling records until this new genre was firmly there, to the benefit of Epica and other followers... They were really trailblazers.

Happy to see you also reacted to a Nightwish song with Tarja as singer. One of the band's most inconic live performances, and Tarja was great here. However, I wished you'd do more reactions with Tarja instead of Floor. Tarja just brings different vibes to NW songs, and some of their old songs simply sound better with Tarja than Floor which isn't meant as drag on Floor's voice (I love her power, range, precision, and stage presence). But songs like Ever Dream, Nemo, and The Kinslayer fit better to Tarja's style. I think you haven't reacted to the latter two yet. There are live versions of Nemo and The Kinslayer both with Tarja and Floor. Please, do the Tarja versions from the 'End of an Era' concert.

[@honorarythamesman5732]

I've been used to Tarja for a while now but Marko has never sung better than this 'End of an Era' gig. Not sure if you've covered 'High Hopes' from this same show yet? It's Nightwish's tribute to Pink Floyd - but he and the guys were sublime in this - they all seemed to ascend to some higher state of perfection in that song. Anyway, getting carried away as always. Of course Floor did Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poorte on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers' which is guaranteed to send you to another level!

Hooray! Normally I don't see your reactions until days later, so it's nice to catch one in the first hour it was released! This, as you've already been told, was Tarja's (great pronunciation BTW!) last performance. In fact less than an hour after this concert she was publically fired from Nightwish in a public letter signed by every other member of the band. There was a lot of history, miscommunication and heartbreak behind that, and I don't think anyone handled the situation particularly well. It took 15 years before Tarja was on speaking terms with all her former bandmates. (She has always got on well with Floor.) Fans of Nightwish were aghast, and much vitriol was directed at Tuomas, who the controversy eventually made suicidal. Because of this he wrote his masterpiece "The Poet and the Pendulum" which he calls his musical suicide, his only alternative to actual suicide. Anyway, this song is an excellent example of Marko's ability to harmonise with other singers. I hear you when you say that this band is perfect! I only heard of them in 2019, and I envy you hearing so many classics for the first time!

[@AlenBacvanski]

A woman with a beautiful smile and some great music, this day just got better! Nightwish with Tarja - never gets old! So beautiful, so creative, unique, artistic! And I don`t mean anything bad by it, but I`m gonna say it anyway: I`m kinda sad for the original Nightwish, or the original Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings, Two And A Half Men etc. Everyone of these fantastic creations set the standards so high, and then someone decided to press the self - destruct button! That`s how we got "things" like The Force Awakens, The Rings Of Power, T&HM with Kutcher and Nightwish with Floor Jansen (the ex singer of After Forever, one of the "warming up" bands for Nightwish). (: So, with the hope in my heart I would like to suggest Wishmaster, or anything else with Tarja...

Then as a faster song check her version of "She is my sin" and then just watch the whole show, like i did numerous times in the last 21 years.

[@PittDaddy]

Watching Jynger's head explode is always fun. Tarja is a fantastic singer. That was one of the band's biggest issues when they fired Tarja after this show. How do you replace a voice like that? Annette is a wonderful singer, but she was not Tarja. Floor would have been the logical replacement at that time, but she was already involved in her own band. One of the things I love about these bands is the incredible ability of the singers in metal bands. Another band that you have not done yet is Amaranthe with their singer Elize Ryd. Their songs Archangel and Amaranthine are fantastic. And their song Endlessly may be the most beautiful wedding song I've ever heard. I would stick with their music videos as the sound quality of most of the live performances isn't fabulous.

This one is an epic piece of the band's history, and she is a huge part of it. She, like Floor, have the gift of engaging the audience, which continues to this day with her solo work. Marko is amazing as well, and the now-famous Pink Floyd cover of 'High Hopes' comes from this same show. By the way, it took multiple listens before it struck me, but listen to Emppu's guitar line when Tarja starts the escalation at the end. He's one of the best. Thanks, Jynger!

Great reaction Jynger! Glad you have started to experience the first two Nightwish singers. Floor being the amazing singer she is, and as the current vocalist, draws the most attention. However Tarja and Anette have helped make Nightwish the band they are today.
