Nightwish restores singer Floor Jansen's confidence

[@j.f.l.bousquet1998]

When Tarja was in the band, Tuomas wrote songs for her voice. When Anette was in the band, Tuomas wrote songs for her voice. Now Floor is in the band and Tuomas can write whatever the fuck he wants, he knows Floor can sing it. No disrespect for the previous singers, but they say third time's a charm for a reason.

It's hard to believe that someone so talented, so hard-working, so attuned to excellence, could ever feel so insecure. Mental health is such an important area and we're not very good at it. There's a lesson there for all of us. Never make negative life-altering decisions when you're down. I'm so glad Floor is back on stage and giving it her all. She's a gem and the Nightwish guys are very lucky to have her in the band. Great to hear that they are mutually supportive. I look forward to many more great tracks.

[@Denzao-D]

[@KLTrainz]

Some of the most amazing musicians/singers are actually some of the most shy and bashful people. Being on stage and being in their own element allows them to escape what troubles or burdens them in normal everyday life.

Floor- I'm 50 years old. I've heard a lot of bands, and a lot of vocals in my day. "No one" is comparable. You (and Marco), and the rest of the band literally bring joyous emotion to me. I didn't feel that way with Tarja, or Anette. You M'dear..."complete" this band, it's sound and presence. I wasn't always a Nightwish fan. "You" your talent, your range, your ability to get "me" to understand the intricacies of the music. ...that was what made me a full fledged fan.

[@tarlcabot1226]

Agreed, it is likely the songs, as they are composed, but Floors vocals often bring me to tears. Only one other band ever did that to me and that was a long time ago and oddly enough, their songs were very symphonic with strong messages in them.

Honestly, up to this point, only Sharon Adel could get me to feel...anything...in music. My favorite concert was Black Symphony in 2008 (seriously, go check it out), and Sharon's voice was...haunting...to say the least. And at a time when I was angry over life, Truth Beneath the Rose helped calm me down. Fast forward five years: It has been at least 20 years since my grandmother's death -- and Floor Jansen was the first woman I've heard sing that could hit me in the feels and make me shed a tear. Not just GLS, but Ever Dream, and 7 Days to the Wolves. All of this is music that I'd not previously heard -- and my first thought hearing Floor at Wacken 2013 was: "Who is this woman, part devil with an angelic voice, who has made me feel again? Where on Earth did she emerge from?" Learning about Floor, and to a larger extent, Nightwish, Tuomas, and Jukka (because insomnia and loving his drumwork), it made me realize: While money makes the world go 'round, music from Nightwish makes life worth living.

Thank you, Floor you have given us so much. I was in a very dark place after 3 tours of combat, I'd lost friends and family, and then my 18 yr old daughter died. So I was truly lost, suicide was ever-present in my thoughts. I did not seek help until I retired from the service, I had turned to heavy drinking and destructive behavior. The day came I accepted I needed help, the first day I went to the V.A to start therapy, the staff was listening to your music. I cannot explain it, I was lost in the pain you could drain from me. I broke right there and then, all the anguish of the past 20 years came flowing out. I wasn't cured, but I don't think without hearing your angelic voice I'd ever gotten to where I am 8 years later. To say you save my life, the life of someone you'll never know isn't an exaggeration. This is why I only refer to you as my own personal Goddess. When the anxiety builds, the panic attacks set upon me, I turn on your music (video if I'm home) and let you pull it out of me. I am forever in your debt, a man you'll never know and yet you saved. I wish only the best in this life for you and others like you. You give so much and ask us for so little in return. When you sing, heaven weeps for there's no angel that can match your voice. You introduce envy to the heavens while healing so many. Your music has helped countless veterans, all of us owe you a debt that cannot be repaid.

Floor, you are truly a gift and you and the band deserve all the credit and accolades you receive. You guys are utterly amazing together.

For me, her Ghost Love Score version is the best ever (especially Buenos Aires)! Tarja could not bring that huge bunch of emotion into her vocal lines in that one.

Floor just nails that one, so amazing.

Kudos to Floor - a comeback from a forced pause (that's what a burnout syndrome is.... workaholics emptying their batteries so violently or over a lengthy period that your only choice is STOP/hiatus with therapy or end up in compulsory treatment!) is one thing but this.... defining yourself and your art anew are the first steps you take once you return, your therapist's voice fresh in mind, saying "slowly, use well-trodden paths, no big obligations until you are ready"? Complete opposite! If she wasn't the amazing woman/vocalist she is, this might have been a trip to hell in a hand basket! But time and place were right this time - Tuomas wouldn't have to worry about stealing a singer from another band (same label?! ouch! ) this time, Floor had completed her education and got accolades for her own composing skills, no better moment..... and the Wacken-Gig was the icing on the cake!!

[@xMortylicious]

I loved nightwish with tarja. Hated it with Annette. I’ve always loved floor. When I learned she’d joined nightwish I was overjoyed. And she made my favorite song even better (ghost love score). I still love Tarja, but floor is just meant to be in this band, she can sing anything

[@petergurton6769]

A reminder that even the greats feel the pressure and Floor is great, with pitch, tone, power and range that I thought didn't exist anymore. She has single handedly restored my faith in people to make real music.

Great story, worth to be composed!

[@MrPuremusic1]

She's amazing and i can't stop listen to her voice and also how she performs on stage!!!!

[@chadbennett7873]

I think the real thing that elevated Nightwish is that Floor gave Tuomas and entirely new expanded pallet of colors with which to compose. He has grown as a composer since she joined, her "brothers-in-arms," as she calls them, have improved as musicians, because she has elevated them all by raising the level of her performance. They made her better, she makes them better ... and look what has happened. They are the premiere band in the world as far as technicality, composition and they are growing in popularity daily. I have over ten people who I've turned on to Nightwish in the past month. I'm taking a friend to their October 2nd show In Los Angeles, and he's pumped. I bought several of their albums in the beginning, but Tarja was just too much for me. I'm not a fan of opera and to my ear, she was like a hammer hitting an anvil. I listened to the select songs that I liked, but I didn't buy any more albums and I didn't pay attention. Now I own them all, plus all the DVDs ... they are at the top of my playlist rotation and I watch their songs on KZbin every day. That would not have happened without Floor. I get where the Tarja fans are coming from ... They liked what she brought, the heavier, darker sound - I just didn't. I generally dislike when my bands change to more commercially accessible music, as I feel the more popular the music, the less value it has. The public, in general, doesn't like entertainment that challenges them to think - they want something that plays in the background while the run the vacuum or cook dinner. I want something that broadens my mind - and Nightwish is most proficient at that. Thank you, Tuomas; thank you, Floor; thank you Marko, Emppu, Troy, and Kai. You are in my heart.

Absolutly perfect for Nightwish they couldnt have chosen any one better as a person to take the reigns.

[@ralphcollier5759]

A couple of yrs. ago I told a friend of mine about NWish - And he had actually fulfilled an assingment to flim them! I am an older not-so-metalish person who thinks that they are fantastic! Real music, real melody lines, real chemistry and real great performances! Next time in Colorado we hope they ALL can have good health! Please come back sometime!!!

[@TBPumpa89]

Floor revamped Nightwish! :) I love Floor voice, performance and personality, but I not have chance to met her in reality. Maybe one day... :( I hope Floor will stay with Nightwish to the end days.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Haha, I see what you did there: Floor "revamped" Nightwish. In case you were wondering, ReVamp was the name of the band Floor was in before Nightwish. To put it mildly: Nightwish has "floor"ished since bringing Floor Jansen on board in 2012.

[@Furrylittleproblem12]

Thank God for you, Floor ❤

[@Davidweisenthal1]

Love you Floor! Keep being great! Cheers to many more masterpieces to come.

[@BX0207]

Shes is just fn awesome!! I wish they would record an all new studio recordings of the Live Wacken Concert song list...She's just ideal!!!

[@Theslashmadnes]

She's like a goddess! Love her voice, she's so cool Everytime on interviews, plus she looks perfect.

[@notacommie5415]

Never heard of nightwish but Dang! That woman can sing! The word epic comes to mind

[@bojnebojnebojne]

Love to see how real she is and open about herself and her struggles on that personal level, makes me love her even more! She may be mortal, but her voice and talent is on a level even the mightiest gods cant level with! There is few people in the world that can touch me like her voice can, Music is truly a magical thing! And even the word "Magic" isnt enough to describe how insanely good the wacken 2013 performance was, especially Ghost Love Score! I burst into tears every time i listen to it, So Powerful! The feeling from the music, the electric air around the band and movement of the audience and the band itself along with Floors vocals, the orchestra the drums the base the guitars and Floor's extremely commanding prescence on the stage all compounds to something of legendary proportions! A performance like the WoA 2013 a performance a band do once in a lifetime, IF they are lucky! Floor Jansen, you deserve all the fortune coming your way, and Nightwish aswell! For a legacy like this, is something not many bands will achieve!

[@fransvanthoff9011]

Glad that she is back, a great female vocalist.

[@willytee585]

To me floor is the most complete vocalist ive heard in my entire life , her voice moves me every single time i hear her live performances thank the gods im alive to witness the magic that is floor !!!!

[@diceymaan]

When great joins great and it's a match.

[@AndersMidnatt]

So, Floor has not only regained her powers, but quickly improved them to the hyperstar-like state. And the band has undergone a similar process to achieve a new level of epicness.

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

Strange to think that even a singer with her extraordinary capacity can have self-doubt. Burn-outs are scary things.

[@tiborgal4077]

Look at her before and after joining Nightwish. The difference can be seen very clearly ;) She's happier than ever and as many people said before she found home in NW.

[@ZeitdiebX]

A sweetheart through and through 😍

[@el0kadur]

Her testimony makes me like even more Nightwish. They provided the emotional support she needed, in return, she blossom their craft into masterpiece. It is great to know they behave as a family among them, supporting each other

[@domfol5515]
