Nightwish "Romanticide" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer

Nightwish has returned! It's been a while since we've covered Nightwish and Floor Jansen's amazing stage presence, so I wanted to indulge in "Romanticide", something that's been on our list for quite some time. This song is the epitome of why I love Floor's voice.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Nightwish performing "Romanticide” for the very first time.

[@janihaavisto79]

Did you see Nightwishes announcement. Tank the tech reacted to it. And was little mad. Idk if I read it like he did. I had an impression that they were okay with it since COVID concerts were cancelled,and NW has had lots of new fans via these reaction videos.

[@00idc-idk00]

"No it needs to be longer!" Yeah...that made me laugh. I get that feeling a lot when it comes to Nightwish... Great reaction!

[@sateentuoksu]

Yeah, first, before starting, a reactor: "oh no,it's 10 minutes long!! Oh well, i won't stop a lot..." After listening, and about 20 stoppings, at the last note: "oh, it's already over, no.. i'll listen the last part again"

[@jurgengierkink4322]

I've said this already with Julia before, but it fully applies here too: I can enjoy Elizabeth's fan-girling over Nightwish as much as the brilliant performance itself. Thank you Elizabeth 🥰

[@jo_g.germany]

I second for both Elizabeth and Julia 🖤🤘

[@peterbell3199]

Watching professional vocalists fan-girling/fan-boying over Floor Jansen only makes their reactions all the better. They recognize and appreciate the greatness even more than those of us uneducated in the fundamentals of being a singer.

[@paulkarp958]

Lets keep this going!!!

[@jonzuilkowski4132]

OMG YESSSSS!!!!!!

[@danielmrtns]

25:54 Maybe I’m so wrong here, but there’s something that I only now picked up during the scream. Marko slides up to a certain note, then holds it there. Floor comes alongside him, but keeps going. Marko then starts to slide down, which gives us the split-second impression that the scream is about to end. That’s when Floor reaches higher to D, as Marko is already descending. I think that totally adds to the surprise factor. I think this is brilliant.

[@giggityguy]

Another very sneaky but effective sound design trick is that they add a slight digital delay to Floor's vocal track just as she reaches the peak of her slide, giving her voice a haunting, layered effect as she holds at the top and slides back down.

[@deeteenw]

If you liked this, wait until you hear "Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean" from Buenos Aires. Awesome dialogue between Marko (Devil) and Floor (Gaia) with Floor vocal acrobatics galore. And pro tip: Stop and watch the picture about 2 seconds before the end. Absolute power pose by Floor with fantastic lighting.

[@mariodriessen9740]

My choice as well. In some parts of that song I really wonder where she finds the time to breathe.

[@Jesses001]

The argument between the two characters in that song is just wonderfully done. The scream of frustration at the end, hits so hard. I always found it interesting after all that, Gaia does find some peace at the end of the song. It was more like a theater play than a song.

[@nicoxWTxTH]

yes yes yes !! Exactly what I was thinking!! I love "Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean" even more then "Romanticide"

[@PittDaddy]

Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean may be my favorite NW song, especially the Buenos Aries version. Floor's incredible use of every part of her voice in duet with Marco. And her costume... You KNOW Elizabeth will love that one.

[@Sagovindar]

speaking of power poses: my favourite one is in "7 days to the wolves (live at wembley)" towards the end of the song in the fast bit she screams at the audience while holding the mik away, so you get the impression she screams right at you, you cant hear any sound so thats just a pure being in the moment kind of thing which i absolutely love

[@matteofornero4326]

Devil and the deep dark ocean from "Decades - Live in Buenos Aires" is another super performance of Floor and Marko. The song is nothing like Romanticide, but it is very "theatrical"...one of my favourite live performance of Nightwish. PS: another suggestion is to check out Rhapsody of Fire. Tons of material, their collaboration with Sir Christopher Lee is still unknown to many people...

[@soundocean3765]

100% agreed! Especially in this performance it always reminds me of musical theatre in the best way possible. This one NEEDS to get done on this channel ♥

[@evaka]

First thing that came into my mind! Definitely second that :)

[@alanfoster6589]

My second-favorite NW song...an absolute must for a reviewer. For the operatic story as well as for the music.

[@swabia1554]

I'd rather Rhapsody because they came before Nightwish doing symphonic and I personally liked the lione era more, yes they had him when they changed to of fire but this only worked for me for until from chaos to eternity then they lost me a bit. I however loved the collab wit hturilli and lione last year or the year before!

I actually really like the studio version.

[@pauljohnson7382]

This!

[@GalegHelross]

The emotions in that song get me every time. Love it.

[@ChrisPhoenixMusic]

"No...! It needs to be longer!" How I feel about every single Nightwish song since I fell in love with them in 1998.

[@olafthebear2327]

I love Emppu's solo in this one. His face and reaction during and after the solo is just priceless! In my head I imagine him also being surprised of what's happening on his guitar's fretboard, then relieved afterwards while wiping his face down.

[@nightsgrow6575]

I feel like that’s the deal for a lot of his solos tbh. It comes up and he does it and then afterwards he’s like “woah I just did that??”

[@taleteller02]

Wouldn't be surprised if Emppu can shred with the best of them.

[@DarkwaveMistress]

Floor is such a fantastic singer. Back when Tarja left I was so sad, because Nightwish means so much to me. But Floor made me feel the songs again, in different ways and I am so incredibly grateful for that.

[@DrMikkel_yz54]

Everybody acts like Annete doesn't exist and its so funny yet sad at the same time 🤧

[@DarkwaveMistress]

@@DrMikkel_yz54 sadly, I couldn't get into Annete's vocals. I don't know what it was. She's a great singer. I love her as a solo singer.

[@yure3554]

Let's be honest. Everything else aside, we came for the ending slide.

[@klbearsfan1254]

My response to her comments after the first chorus: "Wait for it..."

[@dennisweifenbach2647]

That's exactly how I remember this song as, "the slide". Nightwish is just plain overwhelming and perfect. HA! The only negtive, the songs should be longer. Perfection is almost impossible to find. Once you do, you just want more.

[@Kathysuxx]

Yesss. I feel like people don’t acknowledge it as much as they should! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@SinCitySteve]

Facts!!

[@xxxxxTiamaTxxxxx]

Nah, here for Marco's part ;) And the slide :) But more for Marco.

[@Ameenah69]

I just LOVE your reaction!!! Floor Jansen’s vocal prowess is truly extraordinary, surpassing all expectations. What’s even more remarkable is that during that particular concert, she battled a fever and relied on medication just to perform. This heightened my admiration for her talent tenfold. When she belted out “Ghost Love Score,” a performance that left us all astounded, she had already been singing for a solid hour! Floor herself revealed that when she stepped onto that stage, her ailment didn’t matter; it was as if her body and voice were guided by an innate muscle memory. There is no one in the realm of vocalists quite like Floor! She stands as a unique and unparalleled talent in her own right. I love her!

[@Donanzador]

Slight correction, the drummer at that time was still Jukka Nevalainen, not Kai Hahto. Anyway great video yet again! While Floor is absolutely amazing singer, I would love to see you react to their older songs with Tarja as a singer, like "Wish I Had an Angel", "The Kinslayer", "Wishmaster", "Nemo", "Dark Chest of Wonders", "Ever Dream" or "Sleeping Sun" Another (Finnish) metal band I would like to see you react to is Amorphis. Their lead singer Tomi Joutsen has interesting style of mixing clean and harsh vocals, and their lyrics are quite often about the Finnish national epic Kalevala, which adds a bit of folk elements to their songs. Some songs from them include "Amongst stars" (which features another Dutch singer Anneke van Giersbergen), "From the Heaven of My Heart", "Enigma", "White Night" (featuring Aleah Starbridge), "Winter's Sleep", "Nightbird's Song", "Song of the Sage" and "Wrong Direction".

[@vava_pl]

I highly recommend "Song of Myself" from the same concert at Wacken Open Air 2013. A great example lower register of Floors voice.

[@Angelos42]

Nah, while I like the live version I think that someone hearing it for the first time needs to hear the studio version for the complete version of it.

[@davidbarrass5210]

@@Angelos42 there is a fan made mashup of the waken version with the spoken poem added on the end which is good. best of both.

[@vava_pl]

@@Angelos42 I dont want to start Anette vs. Floor war, but I don't think Imaginarium version of this particular song has anything to offer over live one. It is not heavily changed (as for e.g. Ghost Love Score) by Floor and main (musically and vocally) difference, besides Floors superior vocal quality, is amount of choir in the mix. And of course the fact, that Floor don't need that choir, she can perform that part by herself 😛. And honestly, I think, that Nightwish is always best live, at least when Tarja or Floor are involved.

Your channels always confirms me how closely related classical singing and good metal singing are. Very obvious that if you love both, you often are a fan of symphonic metal and it's complexity, and Nightwish as it's biggest representative. I also like (if not more) your special admiration for Floor's voice. Your channel is a KZbin highlight for me. Thank you, thank you, and greetings from Germany.

In the whole concert Jukka beat the s* of of the drums, and still sounds amazing. This is one short but powerful song that always brings me to a better place because of all that musical greatness.

[@douglascolquhoun8502]

Ever since Elizabeth reacted to GLS, I have waited for her reaction to this. Especially wanting to see her expression on hearing The Slide, or Banshee Wail, as I call it. The wait was worth it; however, as that moment approached every pause was ascending agony. And I love how she pauses and expands/expounds on things. I am also glad I waited until I wasn't working and had a moment to relax to watch this one. I had time to fully appreciate all that Elizabeth does and says as she teaches us.

[@Leonswe13]

Inner smile with her voice, that´s what I feel when I hear Floor sing, never could put it in words though. To me Floor is the best singer around, never get tired of listening to her. And Nightwish is the best band, so perfect match :) Thank you Elizabeth for your great and insightful reactions :)

[@davidellinsworth22]

Since I discovered Nightwish 6 months ago, Floor rapidly became my favourite vocalist of all time. My favourite female vocalist used to be Stevie Nicks but unbelievably Floor displaced her.... I know, I know, they're completely different and shouldn't be judged in that way, but I think when you consider your own tastes in music you just naturally form hierarchies in your mind, and this was mine. Anyway, Floor is a machine with the most human of souls... she's the best

"7 DAYS to the WOLVES" Wembley 2015 Floor and Marko sound so great together in this one, they end the song perfectly. The song has build up after build up. Tuomas challenging Floor in windmilling! There is a 10 second section in the middle of the song, one of the best Floor vocals ever, so much passion, feeling. NW has the song back on the setlist - even without Marko, who wrote part of the song. Tasteful guitar solo by Emppu, Kai on drums. Floors scream (off mic) is something to see. I would say this song is rock, not metal, very enjoyable.

"Expressive" - one thing that not many people comment on is how Floor literally acts the songs out as she's singing. "Song of Myself" is a perfect example, but she also does it here up to the first belt part, watch how she acts quite sultry at the beginning then becomes a little cheeky as she sings the "poppy" bit. Amazing singer with an astonishing ability to portray the vocals and the music to the audience.

I was 18 and played on a small festival, and there was Floor with her band. And we knew, she was something special. Later on she went to Rock Academie in Tilburg Netherlands and did classical lessons too, and in that time she was touring with her band. Later on that band quit and she went thrue a hard time untill she was invited to sing in this band. When I saw her seh was maybe 14 years old and sounded like she was much older. I wasn't wondered she became famous. She was too good for not being that great!! What she she really doing good at, telling the story with her voice. Maybe because of her life and the love of music! Great content, keep it going!

[@Laboon89]

More Nightwish please!

[@kirbys1370]

Hi Elizabeth, I'm glad you're doing another Reaction & Analysis to a Nightwish song, and I loved this performance. The band was amazing, the chemistry between Marko and Floor was really special, and Floor's stage presence/performance was outstanding. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙

[@dougel4709]

I just finished listening to your entire Nightwish set. Oh my goodness what a band!!! Never knew of Nightwish. Thank you for introducing them to me. I grew up on Dream Theater and Queensryche (Need more of them btw!!). Nightwish reminds me of them both in ways. I must admit... I've officially been Floor-ed!!!

[@paulriddle7818]

Theres a reason she is called the Valkerie Goddess. Heres Elizabeth reacting to Floors other works. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKmvi4F5jqh2d5o

[@penkakicheva-peeva8319]

Greetings from Bulgaria, girl ❤! I am so glad I found your channel and your lovely comments about my beloved Nightwish!

[@xxIRONM4ID3Nxx]

Everdream with Floor is one of the best live performances imo, should really listen to that!!

[@mskransrocks1]

I really appreciate what you had to say about Marco Hietala. He's truly excellent in so many ways.

[@cjbrisingr8135]

Love your reactions and analysis Elizabeth! Because you asked for Nightwish songs, I need to make sure that High Hopes and Ever Dream (from the Wacken 2013 concert) are on the list. Marko's vocals in High Hopes will blow you away.

[@Flagg795]

For an amazing composition, incredibly personal lyrics, world class musicianship, and a vocal performance that will bring a tear to your eye - Dead Boy’s Poem Live from Buenos Aires. Tuomas has said before this was his favorite Nightwish song for a long time & was a true a moment where I felt overwhelmed by my love for this group of musicians.

[@anssia3123]

Yesss! So looking forward to this! Can't wait, first Sabaton and now this, it's really like Christmas come early.

[@SG-mx3se]

You can never leave Nightwish..... They are always there I'm 54 and listen to them literally everyday... My Spotify playlist is 90% Nightwish.

[@craigskaggs8490]

I loved the little pouting it should have been longer, LOL. Love your reactions

[@maxbruyshinin8187]

"The Siren" by them is also stunningly wonderful.

[@yoligonzalez6011]

I agree

[@dolla3975]

WOHOO! Some Nightwish again, really looking forward to seeing this!

[@MiniLemmy]

I love Elizabeth’s intense staring and almost maniacal smile! Very enjoyable watching her reactions….

[@dizzlery3628]

I really love to watch your Nightwish reactions. Your joy of listenling to them is so entertaining. Your smiles and sometimes giggles are wonderful

[@danmartin3402]

"Song of Myself" is arguably her best Nightwish song. I would like to recommend her cover of M83's "Oblivion". She sings this in a tambour unlike any you have heard so far and the last word of the song drips with forlorn sadness as she sings "Goodbye..." like only Floor can.

[@natalieburnham3300]

I adore that cover from Floor your thoughts are mine. Of course anything she does is amazeing imo of course.🥰

[@KD-gw4sj]

I can't figure out what my favorite song is but Song of Myself is often on top. Maybe I miss it but I don't see many comments on it

[@philipketchum1407]

Agreed. Song Of My Self is my favorite Floor/Nightwish combo song.

[@LuffyxNamiisathing]

No there are a lot of better songs. Like this one

[@user-wt6hw5mi5q]

If you haven't done so, I think you'll love Ever Dream from the same concert. Marco and Floor both sounds great. It's a fan favorite! 💖☺️

[@kenzieblye4939]

Elizabeth you're just awesome, thank you!

[@esotERIC-Wisdom_THOTH87]

Its UTTERLY AMAZING; How YOU can literally feel a given artist's EMOTion within the vibratory language, we've come to understand as; MUSIC! It TRULY IS, THE LANGUAGE OF THE SOUL! Thank You for sharing your unique and inspiring take on vocal Queens and Kings...Floor and Maynard Keenan being the cream de la creme/Upper Echelon respectively!!

[@aaronh248]

As many have suggested I would jump into Ever Dream. It is a pretty insane showcase of Floors upper register and control of it throughout the song. Song of Myself, Ghost River. Hell do any song really from the 2013 Wacken concert and you are good to go. Best part of the slide is Marco ends his about halfway through and is basically screaming while Floor just keeps going up and up and up lol

[@stevecork7574]

Can’t wait for this!!!!!!!

[@vallaindigital]

Man, that album "Once" has so many incredible tracks on it! I started listening to Nightwish with that masterpiece, and I almost hate that I did, because every time I try to listen to other albums, it seems they don't compare and I always come back to Once. It's a matter of taste of course... At least I never get tired of that album :p

[@dnemoify]

Can't wait!!!

[@Benobot99]

The drummer here was not Kai, it was Jukka (Yooka). He was known for being a showman on the drums and giving lots of power (not to say Kai doesn't!). He was there from the beginning or early days of the band.

[@ryankelley6469]

I keep coming back to the Nightwish reaction playlist! Floor did really well, making these songs her own from Nightwish's catalog

[@gabelo23]

Like always, Elizabeth reactions to Nightwish are priceless, She is so wise, so expert and intelligent of her critics to Floor. I admire Floor voice and Elizabeth comments and reactions to her. Elizabeth combine fun, interesting, learning reactions, it s like seems for the first time any Nightwish song, even though I have hear them all. Thank you so much, Elizabeth. All my admiration and love to you as always,. Gaby.

[@williamweiss6128]

So glad. Song kicks ass. Once lp is amazing. Love her!!

[@whisperinthewind3633]

Here are my recomendations Nightwish : Slaying the Dreamer, Devil and the deep dark ocean, Ever dream, 7 days to the wolves, gethsemane, sleeping sun, deep silent complete, Dark chest of wonders and also the second part of the Human Nature album is pure Tuomas instrumental music. 😍 I would also love to see more Sabaton reactions 😁

[@sstrykert]

Dark Chest of Wonders, what a way to set a mood.

[@cb4me450]

I agree. In this order as well please. Going to go and watch the live versions now.

[@Lebrawlski]

Thumbs up for Gethsemane. It's been one of my favorites since I first heard it on Oceanborn. I loved Tarja's version, and sadly, I haven't found a good quality live version of her singing it; but, Floor just does Floor things and turns every song into the absolute best version of itself.

[@whisperinthewind3633]

@@Lebrawlski Yes i have no problem with Tarja or Annete but Floor is for me the absolute best.

[@gayleeidson6724]

I adore the " Inner Smile" description and tutorial !!! I learn something new and have a BLAST every time I see you !!! Thank you for sharing your time and thoughts with us ❤️❤️❤️ !!! Your OUTER smile makes my day !!!

[@johnrtrucker]

The only thing thats disappointing is you have yet to watch their greatest show which is titled "the greatest show on earth" its a long one but its definitely one of my top favorites from nightwish and its a great song to end a year off on!

[@Methras]

Yaaaaaay! MORE NIGHTWISH! I love the spontaneous pout when the song ended! Shows how much you missed them! If this isn't a good reason to find more to react to, I don't know what!

[@silverblack5475]

You HAVE to do "DISDAIN live at Grasspop " by Revamp ( floors 2nd band) you'll have a ball disecting that , floor pulls out all of her voices in that one .

[@Cherlindrea99]

Wow! I missed your reactions to Nightwish. You really made my day with this one! ❤

[@superviciao]

I get goosebumps every time on your videos. Your are a beautiful person, the world needs more people like you. Thanks.

[@Arzie81]

Great piece from one of their best albums, Once (2004), which has brilliant songs both on record and live, varying from epicness of GLS to great hard rock speedballad Wish I Had an Angel, eeriness of Nemo and symphonic metal treat Planet Hell.

[@Donna-C]

I’m surprised you didn’t comment on Marko’s role in “the slide”. He still hits an E/F and adds a bit of grit then Floor “slides up” another octave to the D6 and brings the slide back down again. How in sync are they!?! 👏 If you enjoy Floor with perfect onset timing watch Devlin and the Deep Dark ocean - very theatrical!

[@helky8]

Marko ❤️🔥🤟

[@andreisabogal6953]

We miss Marko

[@Runey7]

Not to mention his range in The Phantom of the Opera, i don't know how high he got in End of an Era, maybe you could tell.... was insane either way at the end of that song

[@DTHonoka]

Seeing this video had been uploaded made my night. Day. Week. MONTH. Amazing. Would love to see you listen to more from the Wacken 2013 concert...Maybe Storytime, Ever Dream, Song of Myself, Ghost River, She is my sin, Nemo, Bless the Child...so many stellar performances. Would also love to see you react to I Want my Tears Back (live @ Beunos Aires) and 7 days to the Wolves (Live @ Wembley). I know, I ask a lot but there's so much amazingness to see!! I only came across Nightwish at the start of this year and they've quickly become my all time favourite. So glad I found them. :)

[@bryansproles2879]

I'm glad you finally did this one, I've been recommending it for awhile :) That's an insane banshee wail, AND she's able to hit a crazy vibrato at the top of the range, as well as take it perfectly up and down the scale....never heard ANYONE do anything that great. 😎

[@clemenstremens1940]

Jesus, never thought I would see it again: goddess reacting to goddess👸🏻👸🏻 And for some nice vocal acrobatics from and between Marko and Floor: Buenos Aires 2018, "Devil and the deep dark ocean"! Please wear the same outfit as goddess Floor when reacting to that one.🤟

[@akersjon278]

This is DEFENETLY one of the best reactions to a Nightwish song I have EVER watched. Knowledge mixed in with genuine fangirl moments. 👍❤😁

[@randalljones4370]

One of my favorite/top 3 or 4 NW songs. Thanks for bringing it back for one more spin.

[@michaeledwards6586]

By the way Elizabeth, you are an amazing lady. I love the genuine way your eyes light up, when you hear something awesome in the music.

[@Flagg795]

Always thrilled and excited to see more Nightwish!!! Floor & Marko are a perfect perfect pairing.

[@joeloedeman5160]

Storytime, Wacken 2013, great Floor vocals. Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, Buenos Aires, Floor and Marco vocal gymnastics. Song of Myself, Wacken 2013, wide, wide variety of vocals, great song.(my no.1 choice)

[@swhan]

You are just sooo good at these, Elizabeth. Your ability to break them down piece by piece and explain why we love these songs so much just "floors" me. (see what I did there?! 😉) It's immensely entertaining to watch these reactions! You nail them every single time! ❤

[@sannamatikainen9498]

Ever Dream for both Floor and Marco’s fantastic voices!!!

[@goldenhate6649]

Double dose of floors singing in one week? Yessss!
