Nightwish - Storytime Reaction, SHE HAS THE METAL!!!

[@BigzampanoXXL]

we love NW and Floor due to 1000 reasons, but main: stage presence, committment, power, similing, open arms, dancing/movements, humbleness, a true vocalist/performer, never fails, her singing goes straight to our heart, and and and. A top group with an incredible songwriter, top musicians and Floor.

[@davidwestwater5900]

100%..

[@jeffk1482]

Yup. All the above.

[@mvellis3863]

I highly recommend these 3 bangers (all from their 2015 Wembley show): 7 Days To The Wolves, Shudder Before The Beautiful, and for a taste of Floor's growling skills Yours Is An Empty Hope

[@PomLimey]

Totally agree. All bangers!

[@jpdemer5]

Don't forget the opener, "Dark Chest of Wonders". It takes them about 10 seconds to set the tone for the whole show.

[@TimoArula]

This is our Valkyrie Goddess for you. And you witnessed first hand a "Dutch Windmill" , and to finish you off, The Operatic "Cruise Missile" !!!! Floor has 3 distinct styles. Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bull whip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch. Awesome tune , although it is kind of a popish sound (originally sung by Anette, the second singer of Nightwish), but Floor gave it soooo much POWER !!! Including this "Operatic" part, what was originally done by children's choir because vocal limitations on their second singer (Great singer also, I might add), but Floor has none of that "Limit". Nightwish lyrics are often a bit interpretive, and not as "straight forward" as many other bands, because Tuomas ( The Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen: founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish.) prefers people to put their own interpretations and life experiences into the lyrics. you connect with songs on a personal level when there is something there that relates to things you have gone/are going through, and you may even find new connections later on in life when you have gone through other big events/emotions. there might be songs you are quite indifferent about (oh, nice song) and then you go through something big and all of a sudden it makes you break down in tears because now you relate to something in the lyrics you didn't before, and see it from a whole new perspective. imagination and life experiences are powerful, and Tuomas has great appreciation of this. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.

[@NPK476]

Floor is like a little mini-windmill. George "corpsegrinder" Fisher is the human windmill farm.

[@TimoArula]

@@NPK476 Therefore "DUTCH Windmill" + Looks + Vocal Ability. No Contest. Every one has his/her own favorite. In Cannibal Corpse reaction I Will agree on his impressive Windmill's, so let's leave these comments/discussions in there. Have a Metal Day !

[@Cherlindrea99]

We're all so lucky they recorded this concert. There is no studio version of Storytime, or Ghost Love Score, or Song of Myself, a lot of other songs, the way Floor is singing them. It's a whole new level which the whole band developed even further through the years. Thanks for your reaction! ❤

[@jonathanlocke6404]

That "innocence" part after the pause and the drum break is simply one of the most exciting moments in the entire history of the performing arts...

[@bennybuffylove]

I have always thought that too, and I'm 75.

[@glenngunnis6642]

It’s unfair! She is too good! She is a Valkyrie Goddess!🤘🎸

[@nikostsoromokos696]

Dude I'm with them about 4,5 months. As a heavy metal fan I can tell you that :I can't hear anything else. I can't believe how I lost all this years bro. Thank you for being there.

[@petemclaughlin6315]

This was actually the first song she ever performed live with the band, subbing in as a live member after Annette's release from the band in 2012, and the band released a cool supercut live video a couple of years back to celebrate her being with the band for a decade ... shows her from the first gig to Waken (this show) to Wembley etc on to the 2022 European tour, worth a look...

[@gene6690]

Yes GP42.....this performance was my actual introduction to Nightwish and many many Florgasms that followed . And i tricked my ultimate bucket list in going last year June to Gelsenkirchen Germany to go watch five month pregnant metal queen and her merry men on stage. Yes it was a Viking Nordic feast indeed 😇😇😇😇😇

[@frenkwd1]

Hello I have some info on Floor Jansen for you here. She is married to Hannes Van Dahl, drummer of the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. Together they have 2 daughters (Freja & Lucy) Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 3 octaves (C3 to F6). Re-singing style ranges from opera to screams and grunts. She usually sings in English, in addition she has also sung songs in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish. Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she cool singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@GP42Reacts]

My daughters name is Freyja that’s awesome

[@Bonovin]

Floor was not even full member at this point, but took over the show totaly. Greetings nwAse Sweden

[@seachangelezzie]

Just here patiently waiting for you to react to 'yours is an emplty hope' where I gleefully watch your brain melt when you hear Floor do full metal growls deeper than most dudes, then back it up with angelic operatics. It is a sight to behold and a definite 'Floorgasm'

[@joeyc630]

Wait until you hear Floor Jansen singing in different languages, awesome 😎

[@darkaether2798]

This is a different language for her though! Her first language is Dutch. 😉

[@bobsuisse2]

@GP42: I think you really should check out Wembley next, just to see some harder stuff to blow your mind. For ex "Yours is an Empty Hope" or "7 Days to the Wolves" live from Wembley. BUT if you really really want to see a real bad ass Floor please react to ReVamp "Disdain" Graspop 2010 live. ReVamp was her band before NW. This WILL surprise you, promised. *lol*.

[@tonilaitinen5197]

Aaaand we got one more "chest burst" -reaction for Floor/Nightwish. Have noticed a pattern how people get this involuntery reaction of smile and hand on chest. Thats what the symphonic composition + the tone of her voice does to people. @3:30

[@Rackelhane]

This is how we play music in Finland..😃 With a little help from a friend in the UK and magic Floor. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

[@whirledpeaz5758]

Marko's bass drop at the beginning, Jukka's drum solo and Floor's Aria at the 'climax'. Damn shame this doesn't get played on American radio.

[@PomLimey]

Nice to hear Floor’s rock voice.

[@elinielsen5556]

Yes, she's good....THEY are good...I never go to bed without a NW song in my ears....I AM addicted.....is there a treatment for this?

[@tonygmichael6434]

She's perfect!!

[@janjager2906]

That yoga picture after the ending! 🤣🤣😎

[@MrDijaru]

Great reaction againe bro :) 🤘🤘🤘 Night wish best live band .

[@bennybuffylove]

My favorite video and song from Nightwish. My 4 year old granddaughter likes the Tampere 2015 performance better.

[@IdiotPosterBoy]

If *this* is the rockiest Floor you have seen, of boy, you are in for a surprise when you get to proper brutal Floor. It's still pure ear candy 😁

[@danielisrael1788]

Merci de continuer avec mon groupe préféré, ( Avec un peu de retard, beaucoup ) très bonne réaction de votre part et excellente analyse. L'armée NIGHTWISH de France est heureuse de vous compter parmi nous désormais. Encore plus d'écoute SVP, fiez vous à la liste de Gabriel pour avoir le meilleur du groupe mais ce n'est pas une obligation. Le terrier est tellement profond, bonne chance a sa découverte, pour ma part, je n'ai pas touché le fond encore et j'ai l'impression que celà n'arrivera jamais. Encore du NIGHTWISH et merci d'avance, vous ne serez jamais déçu, autre chose à savoir que la dernière chanson écoutée deviendra aussitôt votre préféré, vous aurez l'occasion de vous en rendre compte. A bientôt et paix sur vous.......

[@jompuusi]

The Finnish symphonic metal band "Nightwish"

[@jonno55]

Jesus effing christ, you're completely right my man. Earsex is a fitting description of what she does to you vocally. The top of her ability in high notes is what you want? Then check out the live version of Shoemaker at Deichbrand, or Hellfest, both 2022.

[@johnmc128]

Good one.

[@fearisachoiceyouembrace]

More metal with Floor?Song of myself Wacken 2013 Weak fantasy at Tampere 2015

[@keithharris3734]

I almost envy you at the beginning of your Nightwish journey. Great input! I have yet to have a "meh" reaction to any Nightwish or Floor perrformance. See you again soon.

[@joeyc630]

Try Nightwish Scaretale live show with Annette Olson and then with floor Jansen awesome 😎 request

[@FromG2eminor]

My favorite song of all time 😊

[@pml2584]

During your reactions, keep an eye on Emmpu when the camera pans to him. He is probably Floors' biggest fan. You can see him smiling towards the end of the video. That's him showing his respect for what she does. There are other videos you can see him doing it also. He kinda gives away some awesome moments before they happen with his mannerism. Devil in the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Areis 2018 is a great example.

[@merqury5]

Perfection.

[@johnveerkamp1501]

there women like FLOOR in the Netherlands. [WITH THE SAME. POWER ]

[@elisakallokoski801]

Im same time sad and glad there are people that have not heard NW. Glad, that some of these people make reaction videos so I can be as excited as the person.

[@rickphil9999]

Hello GP42. Yes, our 6'1" (barefoot) Valkyrie goddess can launch armies into battle with her voice and her mastery of the stage. Nightwish has done so many legendary concerts since she joined the band up until present day. My wife and i got to see them perform live at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco on May 18th, 2022 and it was epic. This Wacken 2013 show was a good example of their live shows. In case you would like to check out more from this show, here is a link that will take you to every song in their setlist in order (or not, if you choose to skip around). Enjoy: kzbin.info/aero/PLexzLA11Cst1G4E0D61rAnWvnDF4zIz8M

[@shoemaker688]

Just being triggerd by a remark you made about switching, just listen to Floor before NW with her band Revamp at Graspop. Disdain is remarkable in that way. And Rock On buddy.

[@chrisoleary1909]

She might be getting a bit too predictable for you. Might be time to throw a wrench in there and go watch "Yours is an Empty Hope" live at Wembley 2015. Here is the thing though. Make sure it's Wembley 2015. If you watch Wembley, you're most likely to catch what's most fun about this one. Sound and camera work make sure of it. Any other performance, including the official live from the Cruise ship, you'll probably miss it (and of course the Nightwish Army will definitely bust your balls about it.)

[@Suicideshakes]

You've seen nothing if you haven't heard ROMANTICIDE!!

[@GP42Reacts]

Oh we did it and holy shit

[@MarkHunterLionstar]

Wait until you get to Ghost Love Score!

[@erombalski]

Well done on the reaction. One thing - you may want to fix the vid/audio timing and re-upload now while it's early.

[@GP42Reacts]

It’s their video that’s off unfortunately

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Just saying - this was more than 10 years ago - Floor has improved since......... You ain't seen nothing yet 😂 - Floor is the greatest storyteller ever 👍

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done

[@johnveerkamp1501]

there are more female singers like FLOOR in the. NETHERLANDS.

[@anuisotalo9467]

I really like Simone and Sharon, but they are not LIKE Floor 😁 Great talents in their GENRE ❤ Floor does all GENRES. And nails them.

[@Suicideshakes]

Oh, and Devil in the Deep Dark Ocean 🤘🤘

[@Thorgrim247]

This one was a single for this tour. Only a little opera to break up the straight ahead rocker.

[@federicominiaci106]

WELL, it seems that you now are prepared for THE POET AN THE PENDULOM and THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH are the next song for you men.

[@GP42Reacts]

Poet we did a while ago greatest show is coming soon

[@leemarinus]

If you want Lord of the Rings, react to Elvenpath

[@eerohorila1109]

From raspy to clean. One of the best who does that is Tomi Joutsen from Amorphis. Look up Amorphis - The Bee.

[@sannedebont4461]

To give you a heads up Nightwish is one of few bands that have bad songs , so do them all👍🤣

[@franshinlopen2166]

I did like! But why is the music not in sync with the video?

[@GP42Reacts]

The video I watched was out of sync

[@randymarple9830]

Nice. My only complaint is the music and the video are so out of sync. If you have OCD, you would understand.

[@GP42Reacts]

It’s their video unfortunately I can’t adjust

[@randymarple9830]

That's confusing as well. Most other reactors don't have that problem. Some do but they figured out how to fix it.@@GP42Reacts

[@15uzu]

Amy might be good, but she aint Floor good. ;-)
