[@MultiSam42]

he is a mediocre singer so he has mediocre opinions, do not worry about others who know each other long ago said that Marco has a great voice and in this song glitter

[@garyballard179]

Marko has _always_ been the lead vocalist for this song dating back to the Annette Era. Floor's backing vocals were added later, just to get Floor involved with the song. Of course adding Floor makes it better - but the song was written for Marko's rustic voice. Switching it up just wouldn't sound the same... As for Floor's mic being turned down... She does that so she doesn't overpower the other singer. It's their time to shine, not hers.

[@chadbennett7873]

Completely agree with Gary. Floor and the band do not let ego get in the way. This is Marko's song, just like The Islander, and she obviously takes great pleasure in backing him up. They're family who share the spotlight.

[@cryptoking7093]

Why doesn't she just sing at a lower volume?

[@Nrde]

@@cryptoking7093 I think it's just easier to sing on same volume and let the sound tech do his stuff when needed

[@cryptoking7093]

@@Nrde yeah, I guess when you're in such a huge musical theater production like this, you can. But, most singers manage dynamics often in each song and even in each line. A tech would have to memorize what the singer is doing at every moment, sing along the whole time and hope he doesn't push or twist anything too much or too little. Not really realistic and definitely not optimal. It's the singer's job to control their dynamic range along with a million other things and the multitude of muscle memory things, they have to do. That's why rehearsals are so important.

[@cryptoking7093]

Also mic technique is crucial...

[@Idefixu]

This song was written, by Tuomas and Marko, for the Finnish film Lieksa (The Matriarch) 2007. Nightwish put the song to the setlist for Paris, France concert in November 2015, soon after the terrible terrorist attack to the Bataclan rock club, where 89 people died. Many bands canceled after the attack, but not Nightwish.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thanks for the info!

[@reddiamondstone]

Marcos voice is absolutely perfect on this song showing the true versatility of his voice when compared to some of the heavier tracks. It is absolutely right that for this particular song, Floor takes backing vocals. This has to be one of my favourite songs of all time and I particularly like this wembley live version, although the studio version is also great. Don't really understand your review. It has to be the strangest one I've watched.

[@mikejames2639]

Absolutely agree. Marco was quite involved in the writing of this song and sang long before floor arrived. I think he earned the right.

The character of Marko’s voice shines in this song and always has. Not all vocal performances have to be judged with such critical analysis. The simple yet meaningful lyrics and beautiful melody are being sung by an historic and beloved member of Nightwish. It’s not always about perfect singing or how one may improve on an arrangement. Marko sings from his heart and his fans feel that.

[@ericbraun4652]

Agree! Incidentally, there is no point at which Marko is out of tune. I don't know what she's talking about.

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

Maggie, don't often disagree with you, but I think Marko singing this song fits the storyline better than Floor singing it. Of course Floor would "sound" better, but thematically not as good a fit to me. Floor sing is gonna sound better than pretty much anyone on Earth, but sometimes the "sound" alone is not enough ( which , incidently, is one of the reasons seeing Nightwish songs with Floor is such an experience).

[@bobopro1628]

Come on, didn't you see Marco's phantom of the opera. Marco is everything but certainly not just a decent vocalist.

[@rnowak85]

I love the emotion Marko conveys in this song about innocent first love.. So vulnerable and emotional. It was written for Marko's voice so I think it fits perfectly. I will admit I am intrigued by how Floor would sing the lead.

[@MarkMagwyr]

Love Marko’s vocals on everything he does, and his leaving Nightwish has left a huge hole in the band. No matter how great a vocalist Floor is, without Marko there, they no longer sound as good. He has such wonderful tonality and emotive vocals in everything he does. And as for being able to understand him singing, I find him reasonably easy to understand. He also has the magic, something special which draws you in - a truly wonderful vocalist, and dare I say it, easier to understand than Floor. It was a sad day when he left, but at least there’s a great catalogue to enjoy for us fans.

[@randymarple9830]

It is Marko's song. Period.

[@skeezesmith7954]

Let's face it. Floor could have the lead on any song, but let Marko have his day. He's has sold many solo albums outside of Nightwish and he co-wrote this song with Tuomas. 😊🤘

[@jakubfranek9995]

This point of view does not make any sense. If you look Nightwish in a way that "Floor is the main character and she let someone take the lead or enjoy himself on a stage" it only shows you dont know Nightwish at all 😎

[@scifimonkey3]

Cant agree on the vocals, I think this is a song that sounds more powerful with a male voice simply because it contrasts with the sensitivity of the subject. The introduction of Marko as lead also breaks up the concert a bit delivering some variety to the show.

[@ratflail215]

I don't find it sad, more endearing. We are not on this planet for long. Use that time to show love and be good.

[@Grizzlox]

Insert "o..k.." meme here. Marko won the Masked Singer: Finland. He is indeed a lead singer.

[@Tabris93]

My intellectual side agrees with you, you are probably right, musically speaking. However, emotionally speaking, I prefer him.

[@edgriswold8736]

My intellectual side disagrees with her and says it feels right with him. :)

[@kammurabi2313]

At this point Floor is one of the best leads of all time, so it is easy to just want her doing everything. But this song came from a period before Floor was there and as Marko is an A-list lead vocalist in metal and well respected, I always felt this song was one of those rare opportunities for him to sing outside of a metal genre. It would just seem wrong if anyone else took the lead on this one. Similar for The Islander and Endlessness. But I know my perspective on this includes the fact I first heard the original version with the violins and he is perfect on it. You should check out the music video for it sometime.

[@Debbie338]

His voice is sooo perfect for this song. ♥️

[@ianmuir3028]

Marko could be a lead vocalist (and is). He won the masked singer in Finland.

[@nicholas1928]

I never thought I would be one to say this... and I understand it's your preference.... sometimes it's not about the theory or science of being a vocalist.... it's about the rawness and the and the "imperfection" coming together to create perfection. Floor is pretty damn close to godlike vocal perfection as we will ever see, but it's a classic case of too much of a good thing ending up not being a good thing. As others have also said in the other comments... Other band members deserve just as much of a chance to shine, and I think Nightwish knows best who should be singing what songs and why. Troy has his moments as well, and again yes... not the "powerhouse elite vocalist" that Floor is.... his vocals for the songs he does are absolutely meant to be there. Floor doesn't have to, nor should she, sing every single song. Marco was and is an amazing vocalist in his own right away from Nightwish. Also... for reference.... find one of the latest live versions of "Greatest Show on Earth" from this year. Floor is singing Marco's parts in that. And I think it would be safe to say... that is a perfect exampled of "More Floor, Less Marco" is ABSOLUTELY NOT better. It feels hollow and lacking. And that is not in any way Floor's fault. It's just bringing to light that the magic of that song is created by the two of them each bringing their talents to the party..... I'm not mad at you for your opinion. You're entitled to it. Just like I'm entitled to tell you that in this case... you're wrong. :)

[@edgriswold8736]

But this isn't opinion. It's simple fact. 100% agree. Besides...I seem to recall a singer that thought they were the be all & end all of Nightwish. Tarjas gone, but Nightwish lives on. I miss Marko tho... 😢

[@Green-Lyon]

I truly love the deep emotion Marko conveys here. I have no doubt Floor would knock it out of the park, but I would be heartbroken if there had never been this version. Maybe we'll get a Floor version one day though.

[@BrendonChase_2015]

Vocal technique is a very important aspect of singing, but not the be all end all of an artistic performance. I've come across plenty of technically sublime performances that for me didn't convey one ounce of emotion. Both Marko and Floor are all about emotion and always serve the 'soul' of each piece. That's when I feel connected to a song and the music truly resonates with me. True artists can do that, great technicians often can't. Ty for your reaction Maggie. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘

[@j.w.2166]

[@edgriswold8736]

Yeah, but he's not an opera singer in a metal mand, so he's mediocre at best. Right? Smh...

[@amygoodson-catlady]

With addition of Floor to Nightwish, Marko's vocal contributions were diminished. If you only consider him a "decent" vocalist...you just haven't heard enough of his vocal abilities! Totally understand how you feel about Floor and this particular song, but please educate your ear to more of what Marko can do b4 you decide how good or not, he is. His lead on High Hopes, live, End Of An Era 2005 is super intense. But its with his solo and side projects that he is allowed to really show off. A cover of Ah-Hah's Take On Me by The Northern Kings let's his voice absolutely soar above his peers! From his first band, Tarot, and recorded live in 2006, the song Tides is a chill-inducing performance. And he shows the softer side of his voice on a single from his latest solo project Pyre of the Black Heart, song, Voice of My Father. I'm not paying you, so you may never react to any of these suggestions, but give them a fair listen on your own...I promise you won't find him simply, decent, but much more!

[@AmaraJordanMusic]

I've loved this song since it came out originally. It cemented my long-standing crush on Tuomas; he's just... ridiculously talented. It was really cool to see the harmonies in this live version (i usually just listen to the original single), but I do miss the violin! The original ending always makes me feel so... uplifted and almost giddy, somehow. Free, I suppose. But I really enjoy the addition of the female harmonies, and of course Floor floored us. 😅 Now that Marco has left, I hope she will sing it, and it'll be interesting to see how they change it up. Some of these lyrics, by the way, "dark hair for catching the wind, not to veil the sight of a cold world," and "first day of love never comes back; a passionate hour is never a wasted one," and, "every thawing heart plays your theme with care." Ugh, he's so good! I can't, I officially just can't! 😂

[@jamescurfman3284]

I can see the band taking on guest vocalists for a while, maybe long enough for one tour and those guests could switch at each venue. Probably nothing solid because Tuomas has stated that he could not take another lineup change. I think eventually he will call it enough and be done with it. It's his band, he founded it, he has the final say.

[@Green-Lyon]

I think I read somewhere that this song is basically retired. But things can change over time so I hope it makes it back on the setlist one day.

[@kammurabi2313]

Unlikely that they'll do this song again unless Marko comes back, whether as a guest or permanent. Tuomas has a list of songs that they just won't do without Marko. This one, The Islander, and Endlessness are a few.

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@kammurabi2313 Makes sense. Songs that were written with Marko's vocals in mind. And parts of which Marko himself wrote.

Thank you for reacting to this song !!! This version is the BEST version 🥰. Actually ,..."While Your Lips Are Still Red" is not an official Nightwish track, but Holopainen has stated that he is not comfortable with releasing any material under his own name. The Nightwish website clearly states that the song was written by Tuomas Holopainen and features him on keyboards, Marko Hietala on vocals and Jukka Nevalainen on drums. Thank you Maggie again !!!! NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

[@Tenseiken_]

Both songs, the Islander and this one, where Marko is leading and Floor is on back up: "Floor's mic needs to be turned up!" lol. You have a preferrence we get it 😂, but I'm gonna disagree heavily here, because I think it fits the song perfectly. The background harmony she brings with that sound level while Marko is leading is definitely done intentionally and with that vision in mind and I agree with that. Also, while we're still on the whole preferrence thing, it really is one thing to prefer having the vocalists switched, but to reason it in a way that wrongfully discredits this line up is kind of very rude. I'm pretty sure you don't actually think Marko is just "decent", given your past reactions of his vocal expertise so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one though. You definitely let your preferrence cloud your judgement on that one. Also, what's with these overdone SFX and slides that come into frame? They're weirdly distracting. I'm not sure they were done because of copyright, because many were not touching the actual video scene, so maybe you thought the visuals needed some... enhancements? I feel as though the effects of the video set the mood perfectly on their own. Might be just me.

Fluffy was gassy that night, so my BeFri started singing, "Through the night, through the dawn, Fluffy farts, all night long..." I heard it in the store the other day and sang it so loud that a little old lady looked at me like I was nuts. I called my bestie and he laughed and said he still sings it, too, some 35+ years later.

You can discuss the relative merits of who should sing it but, for me, this song is made by Troy's e-bow playing.

[@jamescurfman3284]

Marko was an AMAZING vocalist in his day. Unfortunately, this performance was done after he had to have polyps removed from his vocal cords (and his voice was never the same afterward, but he did make a good comeback; I give him a 90%+ climb back to where he had been). Obviously the studio version of the song would feature better vocals from Marko from when he was in fine shape but I think all things considered, he did VERY well here. Obviously by this time, Floor could out-sing Marko. If these two had been born at the same time, Marko would edge her out in this song from before he had polyps ('06 - '07). They were both singing in metal bands from the age of 16 - 17 years old so an age-equal comparison should be in order. Floor has also suffered burnout before she joined Nightwish. They are both VERY WELL-educated and experienced with the ins, the outs and their own limits as far as vocals. Obviously they are both World-Class at what they do.

What is it with you and "turn up the backing vocals" ....gutair guys are like turn down the vocals we want the music.. to each their own.. a backing vocal is not supposed to be fronted and prominent. As far as the emotion it depends on the emotion you are trying to convey. Marco brings the perspective of an older gentleman that gives this "advice" from a more mature almost regretful perspective. The experienced older gentleman offering his life experience to a younger listener. Floor would have given a more pleading "loving" perspective.....not a learned experience twinged with regret and experience.

[@ezkil9104]

I think the reason for marko being the lead singer in this one is because at the time they didn't have a female singer, the song came out after Tarja and before Annete. Although i prefer Marko here bc i like his clean voice(studio version is way better for this one btw) i think you're right about Floor being better for the lead part. Also (for the haters xd) Marko has a great voice, there's no doubt about that, but you can't compare his technique with Floors, i think that's what she meant, being a great singer and having a great voice is not the same.

[@bardzhou5991]

I think Marco is an excellent singer, if you check out his performance on End of an Era concert or the original video of this song, you might be shocked how perfect he was, but to be honest i am not thrilled about this performance as well, or i should say i am not thrilled by most of his performance since 2013, but i think i can understand why, he was born in 1966, so by the time he performed this song in this concert he was already 48,49 years old, i am not a singer nor understand most of the sining technique, but i think even he did protect his throat greatly the way his sining probably still gonna hurt his voice, so it won't be as good as when he was young, but regardless all of those things, i still love him and so sad he decide to retire from the band.🥲😔

[@rikosborne1212]

I was delighted when I found out that Marko and I are almost exactly the same age (he's a couple months older than me). I'm also a singing bass player.

I think Marko sings this because it's starts in the low register where male voice is more effective. Also when the song was recorded the lead vocalist in the band was Anette who was a good singer but not as good as Floor. In the studio version the singing of Marko is more carefully done.

[@MycontentisgoldJerryGold]

Tuomas has the final say over Nightwish, so I wonder why he hasn't brought a strong male singer back into the band.

[@sindreskjelbostad6436]

I think you should listen to the album version aswell Maggie, because while nightwish usually has fantastic mixing live, this version does not live up to the potential of the song.

[@jaskau2462]

🤩👌💥💯 ... For the song... Not so much for the reaction, since this track is made intensionally in the way as they perform it. Let's hope Maggie's personal career has not took her feet off the ground. 🙈 🤘😎🇫🇮💙

I love my Metallqueen, but this song is better with Marco at the Leadvocals.

[@0okyo]

You are SO WRONG ABOUT Marco! It’s embarrassing.

OMG did you drop a British accent? Your so good.

[@hayatofury8580]

Markos english has strong finnish accent and hes from eastern finland sothat makes it even stronger, eastern finnish dialect is very diffrent compared to anything in finland. PS dont knock Marko's singing! hes living legend in Finland

[@edwardonion5331]

Sorry I missed the live show☹️

[@elvwood]

Sorry, count me among the Marko fans. It might be because I first heard it without any input from Floor, or because it is his song after all, but his voice just fits. However, I will say that, particularly live, his English pronunciation is a drawback in this song. For me it's not so much the vowels as his v/w confusion. It seems odd to me that he pronounces violin and veil as wiolin and weil, since Finnish uses something much closer to v than w - the approximant ʋ - but nothing like a w. (This is not a criticism of his English generally, btw, which is pretty good, just of how it affects this song for a native-English-speaking listener.)

[@richardkoroias2082]

song wasn't written for any of their female leads...this was a Marko-centric song specifically as he and Tuomas wrote it. You should listen to his stuff from "Tarot", "Northern Kings" and his own solo work. He is far better than you give him credit for.

[@PsyloOfficial]

Maggie. I love your reactions. Pretty cool. WOW you know who Laura Brainigan is? cool. The orignal songs is a bit different. It was made for a movie. So they added some parts for the band to do. Im sure you have listened to the OG version by now.

[@nightwitchtarot2379]

You should have done the official video version😊

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

Beautiful song. I prefer this live version much more than the video clip (Marko/Annette). The Viking sounds much better and I am wondering if the Goddess gave Marko some advice since she is a vocal coach. Maybe you can tell if that is true, you being a opera singer1🙂🙂🙂

[@matiasleino8712]

Whay shud she sing his sog that is so personal to Hi its his feelings and I love it!

[@metalcrusader6666]

Could you please react to HammerFall - Stone Cold (Live at Lisebergshallen 2003 HD), they are a swedish metal band from gothenburg formed in 1993, They will speak Swedish in the beginning, so it might be confusing. But i think you will like the singers voice

[@ralfmeyer9086]

I see your reaction a few minutes ago Maggie. And when you tell about Markos Voice, i thinking, in comments comes Shitstorm to you. But i read manys, they are absolut ok. But i agree with your Opinion. See Hellfest last Weekend in Arte Livestream. Floor was awesome

[@rimisark]

Why not official video, afraid of blocking?

[@pamelakilponen3682]

Maybe you should watch the original, a male voice is the story.

[@jimharris367]

Really really really could not disagree with you more
