Nightwish "Yours Is An Empty Hope" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer

[@arturama8581]

You say trolling doesn't bother you, but I get the impression it does, as you draw a lot of paralels between the song and your opinion about trolls and the bad sides of the internet. I don't know why people do it, but maybe they don't see it as trolling? Maybe they mean what they say. Maybe it's just blowing off steam? Lots of people have psychological issues today. At least it's better to vent on the internet verbally than doing it IRL physically. I also think trolling is a 2-way street. A troll needs an opposite to flourish. No opposite ....... But then again, I've had very interesting conversations with people who seemed to be trolling at first, but just had a bit odd kind of sarcasm. It happened to me too a few times. I seem to have got a bit of an odd sense of humor. Sorry :) And though I agree with the trolls that you can't sing a straight note even if your life depended on it (there's the odd humor *and* in this case 100% sarcasm) Seriously, keep going. I don't always agree with you, but usually you make sense *and* I've never heard someone count measures as fast as you just did in the video. I tried, but I think I need some physiotherapy for my tongue now.

[@MetalMann-de3xi]

Good thing is that the removal of the gallbladder has become less impactful as it once was. They used to cut down your side in one big cut. Now it's much smaller and cut you in 4 small incisions and has reduced recovery time down by a ton. However digestive system will be totally screwed as usual.

[@xfortunesquex]

I imagine this song was very cathartic for Tuomas to write, and for Floor to perform. Both have gotten undue hate online for various assumptions made in regards to their character and their appearance. There's a subset of former fans who like to bash both: Tuomas is difficult, he is a diva, he is rude, he is a dictator in the band, whatever. Then they go on about Floor: her singing choices, her height, her appearance, her personality, and the VERY CLEAR boundaries she has set with fans who think they are owed a hug or whatever when they see her. Years ago, Floor had to post a blog on the site to explain herself because people were calling her a bitch for having boundaries- dead serious. And then there's just the hardcore former fans who think that Tarja would somehow appreciate that they're bashing Floor in order to uplift her. I have quite literally seen youtube accounts dedicated to hating Floor, and they talk shit on almost all of her live performances, then add in how Tarja is the best. Tarja would be mortified to see this done in her name! She is a kind woman who respects her colleagues, and has a great rapport with Floor. So yeah the subject of this song has chapped me quite a bit since I became a fan and saw some of the BS some folks go on about. Such a great song!

[@ApacheGamingUK]

So many people were so surprised to find out that Floor and Tarja are good friends, and have even performed duets together. The mantra has always been that the conflict has always been in the minds of the "fans", not in the eyes of the performers.

[@magnumchaos]

Yeah. Floor and Tarja have never had conflict. And Tarja has moved on to a successful solo career of her own, and has reportedly rekindled friendships with various members of Nightwish. However, I'm not sure if Tarja and Tuomas have rekindled their friendship, but it is nice to see most of them on amicable terms now.

[@venisee]

Thank you, cathartic is now my favorite word in the English vocabulary (Dutch is my mother-tongue, so I'm always expanding my English vocab). But yeah, you see this "fandom rivalry" around other artists and well known people and it's absolutely absurd..

[@xLordOfTheWolvesx]

I absolutely agree. I read somewhere that Floor said she would never sing Bye Bye Beautiful because it is a diss about Tarja. While I have not heard her say this in any video/interview, I have never seen her perform the song, which would kind of prove the point.

[@Terk131]

I couldn't have said it better myself.. Thank you.

[@FedericoB.]

If you want to hear Floor growling more, the time has come to check out "Disdain" and "Wild Card" by ReVamp, the band she created and composed for following the disbanding of After Forever, before her burnout and subsequent hiatus, which eventually led to her entering Nightwish.

[@ehcarbles1623]

Yes to those two songs from Revamp, I would also say Trial of Monsters

[@russbowlus]

I think she uses every vocal tool in the book in Disdain. Ha. Great song, and a much different Floor that we see in Nightwish.

[@FedericoB.]

@@russbowlus Then, after Tatiana and Floor growls, maybe Elizabeth will be ready for Angela Gossow :D

[@Julp76]

Yes! Even more impressive I think is when she does Mark Jansen's parts in live versions of Misery's No Crime, like here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX-zlqaCe7mhi8k It's too bad that there isn't a good live recording (that I know of) because the performance sounds CRAZY!!!

On some other reaction to this song, someone commented (quote) "...after the show, Floor walked past me and I said 'I didn't know you could growl.' And she answered: 'I didn't know either.'" (/quote) I found this hilarious and it just perpetuates the feeling that Floor can do with her voice what she wants.

[@A.HollerMusic]

That's partly true.. The show that the Person in this quote is speaking of was a show of either ReVamp or After Forever not a Nightwish show.

[@KingArthas]

Don't think I've ever heard Floor miss a single note when singing live, be it with Nightwish, After Forever, Revamp or Ayreon... That woman is simply majestic!!!

[@FzNd]

@@magicmicah27 The live version is very good, but I'd still love to see a reaction to the album version of that song even more. What really made Devil (and Pharao for that matter) stand out for me is Tapio Wilska's vocal. I love Marco's voice, but he really doesn't seem to be built for that deep, deep lower register.

Well, it was only a professional that after 5 seconds she knew that it was Floor singing the growl and Marko in a clear voice. So many other "professionals" did not meet.

When you want more growling from her, you should watch her in her former Band " ReVamp". She switches a lot between growling and Opera there . The Songs " Disdain", "Wild Card" and "Trial of Monsters" are perfect examples.

You are spot on that the song can be interpreted in different ways. Tuomas has stated on numerous occaisions that's what he wants the listener to do. In fact, he has refused, many times, to tell an interviewer what his lyrics mean, specifically so fans can have their own interpretation.

Floor’s most versatile performances are in ReVamp in my opinion. Lots of growling, belting, opera, etc basically everything she’s capable of. I often feel she holds back a bit in Nightwish to make sure it’s congruent with what the band is about (makes sense). But ReVamp was HER project, and it shows.

I love your enthusiasm! My goodness! Because of you, I am listening to and enjoying genres of music that I shied away from before and didn't know how to enjoy them. Thank you for opening a section of the music world to me. 😊

Excellent job, Elizabeth !! You are the BEST !!

[@bhg70]

As others have said, your reactions are great. Both fun and (most importantly) genuine. Prior to Nightwish, Floor had her own band called ReVamp in which she regularly did harsh vocals. I don't know if there's much ReVamp stuff to react to, but I would recommend it. I think this song was the first time she had the opportunity to do them in Nightwish.

Floor's growling is mind blowing but wait til Elizabeth hears Floor's vocal fry in Adagio....she's gonna have a melt down :) Floor never ceases to amaze.

[@carldevries9108]

To me I imagine Floor's haunting voice part as a siren calling sailors to their doom. Another great reaction and I await more of your fantasy singing videos.

[@patrickmorrison1641]

Love your analysis and perspective on the vocals! It makes me appreciate the music more and makes me feel a little more educated about what theses singers are up against. Thank you!

[@EddyParera123]

I knew as soon I saw this upload on my main page that your ears would pick up the chorus growls right at the 1st time. And I wasn't disapointed. Most people I've seen react to this just figured that part when Marko goes even higher at the end. Btw, those unearthly sounds Floor does in the middle always make me feel like hearing a mermaid's calling, charming the sailors to her. And it fills me with joy because I'm pretty sure I would fall for it...

[@robertsheeler321]

Floor's 2nd band Revamp she did a lot of growling two examples , "Disdain" & "Wild Card" Live at Graspop & Bloodstock festivals

@@ausalazarc oh yea I forgot that one , thanks I think I'll revisit that one its been awhile

[@heraldol8710]

it is surprising that after 15+ reactions to Nightwish and Floor, Elizabeth still can be caught off guard... ( ..we had to wait a while for this moment ... but .. finally ... there it is.. Elizabeth discovers Floor's growl 🤣🤣🤣)

[@bigg2988]

...and the final proof (if one was needed) that Floor can sing anything. Well no. We have not heard her sing in bass voice. But maybe I should be careful to add "yet". :)))

@@bigg2988 Still waiting for her doing a rap cover !

[@RiseOfMusic]

@@matthiaskellner9331 She can sing fast! So i think she can do Rap God by Eminem 😋

[@artiemeyer8803]

You should react to Disdain live when Floor was with her band Revamp. (Blonde hair!) Her vocals are REALLY heavy. There is one point when she is trading growls with the guitarist and goes from a growl and slides up into a belt! I've never heard anything like it.

This channel is pretty heartwarming really, folks generally seem nice in the comments, and you have a kinda fun, and optimistic attitude which can be kinda infectious, something we all could need a bit more of, genuine joy and adoration at the behest of other peoples talents, in place of tearing down anyone trying to do something.

[@rosalindeschoonaard19]

I so do agree! Well said 😘

[@kelargo]

The instrumentation present during Floor's haunting phase, always remind me of similar sounding phrases I hear in Doctor Who action scene.

[@sascape]

Your happiness when geeking out about music is extremely contagious. That's how I feel about the English language as well as phonetics and phonology so I totally get it.

Master passion greed

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I don't understand why so many people wonder which of the two is doing the growling. I get that some people haven't heard Floor growl before (check out her work in ReVamp for more) and thus there might be some disbelief, but Marco's voice is distinctive. He still sounds like Marco during the chorus, so it has to be Floor doing the growling.

[@berndeckenfels]

Think they wonder cause it’s same time as normal voice

[@jonis023]

You are the sweetest Elisabeth☺️ as usual a cool reaction on a Nightwish song. And Floor is amazing ❤️ cool that Floor speaks Finnish, and swedish at the and🤘🏽 Love from Sweden🌹

[@theutilizer]

New merch idea spawned from this video... "Heh, Metal!" The discovery of Floor growls under Marko's lead... that was great! Thanks Elizabeth.
