NIGHTWISH - The Phantom Of The Opera | RichoPOV Reacts

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Welcome to the original singer and co-founder of Nightwish Tarja Turunen :) . I LOVE the contrast between her vocal's and Marko's!!!

[@torspomedia5861]

Their voices together go so well together

[@Rafael-qi9bt]

Welcome to the first era of Nightwish! 😁 Tarja, the woman you just heard, is the first vocalist and one of the founding members of the group, wich was born in 1996. Of the band's 9 studio albums, 5 were recorded with her, 2 with Anette and 2 with Floor, the current singer. Most of the songs people suggest in Floor's voice were not originally recorded by her, so it would be nice if in addition to the newer versions you also heard the originals. Each song sounds completely different depending on who is singing. Nightwish initially proposed to have a lyrical singer as a vocalist. That was the identity and the big difference of the band in the past, however, from the second vocalist that changed. The band also went through other member changes. Including, Marko, the man singing, is not the original bass player. He joined the band from the fourth album, Century Child. Tarja left the band in 2005, before google buys KZbin. The performance you just watched is from the "End of an era" dvd, recorded in 2005 ( kzbin.info/aero/PLexzLA11Cst25qKz-jqq513Dr02I2jG4q ).Most of the live performances from her time were posted by fans. This entire DVD is incredible. A curiosity about this show is that Tarja hardly did it. She was sick that day and recorded this show on medication. You can usually find good videos with Tarja on the "Nightwish Arena" channel. As for Anette, I advise you to always listen to the studio versions of her. Live videos are not usually very good with Anette, but she has a very beautiful voice. Floor joined Nightwish in 2012 as a temporary member and became permanent in 2013. It is easy to find good live performances with her. Many of these videos were posted by the band itself. In general the Nightwish live performances are magical, but the studio versions are also excellent. In addition, there are some iconic songs that you will not find live version or, when you do, the quality of the recording is terrible. An example of this is "Beauty of the beast" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqjIo56lbb2Sl7c). This is a song from "Century Child" album. So far only Tarja has sung it. There is a live version, but the quality of the existing videos is very bad, even in the remastered ones. This can ruin your first experience. Because of that, I strongly suggest the studio version as the first experience. If you like to enjoy the lyrics of the songs, "Beauty of the beast" has a romantic gothic style. Nightwish had a different style in Tarja's time. Originally the band was a mix of Gothic metal, power metal, symphonic music and folk music. From Anette on, the influences of power metal and gothic metal are almost nonexistent. It is important not to confuse "Beauty OF the beast" with "Beauty AND the beast". Nightwish has these two songs. In case you want to know, there is a good live version of "Beauty AND the beast" recorded on the dvd "From wishes to eternity" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGnZcmVsZZJ0hbc). This is the band's first DVD. It was recorded in 2000 and released in 2001, before Marko joined the group. It is a much simpler DVD than the ones Nightwish makes today, but it is excellent. At the beginning of their career the band did not have many financial or technical resources. This is a 21-year-old recording. At the time the group was on their third album, "Wishmaster", and they had done their first world tour. Tarja has a solo career with many iconic performances and partnerships. I would like to suggest "Victim of ritual", a live performance recorded at Woodstock in 2016 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/famnn5uYfLl9idU). If you prefer something quieter, I suggest the song "The Living End", a live performance recorded in a church in Wacken. In this performance, Tarja is accompanied only by a piano, a violin and a cello. It's beautiful. There is a video of this performance on Wacken TV channel. It's a video with 6 songs, but in the description there is their name for you to click and be taken to the one you want (kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4akq4WEbqiibdU). Thank you!

[@ChrisLane87]

you forgot to mention the band knew during this performance that this would be Tarja would be kicked out, she found out when they finished the performance

[@yksvaan1690]

I love how Tarja sang with Russian prog bands like Aria's Kipelov... Ah well. Marin says iron curtain.

[@johannessilver8653]

The best version of this classic tuned for NW style....they act the roles of Phantom and Christine so well too.

[@jewelz00]

Thanks for reacting to another great (old school) Nightwish gem! 🤘🏼☺️🔥 Can you imagine singing that well while seriously sick with the flu? Amazing vocal performance from Tarja (and Marco, of course).

[@andreivlad3518]

You need to listen Pharaon sails to orion.

[@TinaMUFC10]

Tarja time 😍😍🥰🥰 my fav Nightwish

[@karinha73]

I would strongly recommend Epica, consign to oblivion, live at Zenith. If you like Nightwish, you will love Epica 🤘

[@jaskau2462]

Better later than ever to introduce your self to this magical band. Right? Nicely reacted mate. 😉👍 Cheers from Finland 🇫🇮

[@amygoodson-catlady]

This settles the best singer of Nightwish debate... Marko Hietala. Stay on your Nightwish journey, friend! So much more to delight you! Greetings from... Nightwish Army, California, USA

[@GhostDrummer]

Exactly! Everyone comes here for Tarja, but leaves captivated by Marko.

[@laudatosiadastra1218]

Richo, I loved your speechless look on your face at the end. So funny!! Marko and Tarja were killing it. Awesome stuff! Man, I can´t recommend you enough to discover the whole Nightwish catalogue. This was Tarja Turunen, she was the lead vocalist here if you were wondering where Floor was. Tarja was lead vocalist from 1996 until 2005 and known for her amazing operatic vocals. Anette Olzon joined soon after and was lead until 2012. Anette was part of 2 of Nightwish` most successful albums. Floor Jansen, joined the Imaginaerum tour at the end of 2012 and was officially named lead vocalist in 2013. Floor is the greatest vocalist I have ever heard and constantly blows my mind with her incredible vocals and otherworldly stage presence. Take this journey and even start at the beginning and make your way through the years if you really wish to see the evolution of the greatest band I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. All the best

[@MarloesBakx]

I would highly and I mean HIGHLY recommend listening to Ayreon. It's a project by the insanely talented Dutch man (hippie?!) named Arjen Lucassen. There's a bazillion fantastic Ayreon tracks out there, but I think you should start with a song (song is an understatement, I mean masterpiece) called 'The day that the world breaks down'. It's a fantastic introduction to this project you'd wish you had known sooner (if you didn't already). Puuuhleeeeeaseeeee!

Please do Epica, Consign to Oblivion! You'll be amazed

[@n0cturus]

Классно!

[@Masi154]

Alesis drums in the background?

[@joaotrindade8723]

This version of the music singed by Tarja for me, is better than the one singed by Floor.

[@fredriknilsson6042]

Havent heard Floor do it with Nightwish but the one with Henk on Bezte zangers is better in my eyes and ears

[@osk9013]

I agree. I could understad if Marko's performance (which I definitely love) was dividing opinions - the Dutch and him have so different approach but the ladies... Tarja's voice with its spacious high notes is so much more suitable for this, specially in the end which is the high point of the song.

[@dannyalexys5562]

Not in a million years.

[@user-wt6hw5mi5q]

In this case, I prefer Tarja. But I think many factors contributed to this performance being so wonderful. I love both ladies so much.

We won’t see this again and that’s too bad. Tarja has a great opera voice. But to me, Marco is the star of this performance. Now don’t get me wrong. I think Floor is the best thing ever to happen to Nightwish. But it was Marco’s singing with Floor’s that made Nightwish brilliant. He is missed.

[@MarieJohanna760]

It was Marcos singing with Tarja that made the Band what it is... Floor came later

[@Krytaner]

yoo you need to react to "Greatest Show on Earth" By NIghtwish!

[@dannyalexys5562]

Wait until Nightwish will do 'The Phantom of the Opera' version with Floor. It will be amazing!

[@derfailer3434]

But without Marco then :-(

[@dannyalexys5562]

@@derfailer3434 I'm sure he will come back.

[@osk9013]

@@dannyalexys5562 I don't see any reason - except money, perhaps - why he would return. In fact, I would be disappointed if he did since I love to see him as a lead vocalist, doing different kind of music. It would be cool if Tarot continued or he formed a new band.

[@dannyalexys5562]

@@osk9013 he said it sincer he leaved that he could return some day. I think he should return.

[@osk9013]

@@dannyalexys5562 To the music business or to Nightwish, do you remember? - He has done already at least three other projects autumn 2021 outside NW. Ok, it is true that all the guys have had their side projects but... just comparing Marko's style to Holopainen's recent music style (Marko is so much more metal). Well, time will show.
