Nightwish - Yours Is An Empty Hope - Wembley 2015 (Reaction/First Listen)

[@darpompie4354]

Yeah... She's not sick... She's just floor. Growling to Rock to Rasp to Opera. She can completely switch styles in seconds which is amazing. She also is able to live the song and portray it to her audience no matter what its about. Great storey teller.

[@chrisoleary1909]

Yes, indeed that was the sweet, sweet glorious voice of the Valkyre Goddess doing the Death Growls in the Chorus.

[@jennienoppers210]

And the very sweet side: Floor singing Shallow!!

[@paisa20]

And Dead boy's poem

[@silverblack5475]

Well wishes To Our Goddess Floor , Nightwish canceled the Final show of the Tour due to health issues with Floor

[@Kelsea-2002]

I have also read the announcement and think that someone is in a hurry to come into the world. Is there another goddess - or maybe a god this time? My tip is... Goddess!🍼🍀

[@pazwretzky4673]

I'd heard that Floor could do growls but this is my first time seeing her do them...I heard growls during the song but just assumed it was Marco, because the camera never showed who it was until later on

[@Bonovin]

Have a look at FLoors band ReWamp and The song Distain for more growles

[@holgerczubka5453]

You can hear Marko sing "Yours is an empty hope" and the growl can only come from Floor.

@@paulriddle7818 Here Floor does some BRUTAL growls!!!

[@chriso6719]

Yes it is a growl. She did it in every chorus. Also from the Endless Forms Most Beautiful album. Not a slow song lol, one of the album's heaviest, and co written by Marko and Tuomas. Yep, telling off the internet trolls. This , and to a lesser extent, Ghost RIver, is about all you're going to get of Floor's growling with Nightwish. She did more of that with her previous band ,ReVamp. If your interested in hearing that, try Disdain by ReVamp at Grasspop 2010. For Friday, how about Dissension by Nemophila since it wasn't far behind the poll winner Lorna Shore.

[@JWNanaimo]

Nailed it Nikki👍 you caught the Floor growl🤘🤘 and you will get your slow song when you get to Sleeping Sun. and we won’t get sick of you, you really get this band.. keep on rockin’!

[@louisminten7889]

It is about internet trolls. Floor did the growls the whole song and Marko had the cleans

[@markclements7767]

Tuomas - "How are we going to clear away all of this feckin' smoke?" Floor - "I'm on it Boss!"............[WINDMILLS]..........

[@rickphil9999]

Thank you so much. Floor doing all the harsh growling through every chorus was fantastic. I loved it.

[@nanns77]

Floor has been growling since a very young age in After Forever (her first band). She was always complete.

[@nikkireviews]

Someone shared a link of her growling in that band. I had no idea! 😲

[@anitabons6034]

try: "Dreamflight" by After Forever (Floor's 1st band) en "Disdain"by Revamp (Floor's 2nd band)....and beamazed!

[@TimoArula]

Floor "The Unstoppable" Jansen, Demon and Angel in one 🤘🤩🤘!!!! Great F-you song towards internet trolls and keyboard warriors!!!! Yes, that was a growl, Floor is a beautiful beast ❤‍🔥. Instant "like" !!!!! Thank You !!!!! NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘

[@bobsuisse2]

@Nikki. for an "angry" Floor you have to react to ReVamp "Disdain" live. As a sucker for fire you have to continue your Rammstein journey. And for more "aggressive" Symphonic Metal Epica.

[@scifimonkey3]

The four song opening sequence at Wembley was astonishing! When you have watched them play them back together and see what i mean………

[@nikkireviews]

I will do that! 😊

[@janihaavisto79]

Not sick. It's just another Floor's amazing gifts she has developed and in some respect God given too. There's not many singer's male or female who can be so versatile with her voice. No wonder she idolized Heart sister's and every female vocalist of her time

[@nikkireviews]

Yeah, she is definitely very talented and I feel like I'm always learning something new about her. 😂

[@Bolo2028]

Well done! You were right about there being growling. Floor was doing all of it. The interpretation you read sounded very plausible. I look forward to the next Wembley Wednesday.

[@glenngunnis6642]

I wouldn’t want Floor angry with me!

[@nikkireviews]

😂

[@jwilywily]

Their slow songs rock!😉 Versatility, thy name is Floor!

[@jasonmarshall7572]

You may like Revamp floor's early band. Thanks that's one of my fav songs.

[@naruto9121983]

if you want to hear Floor growl more you can hear her previous band revamp-disdain live at graspop. you'll be shocked😉

[@kentk2215]

This was written by Tuomas and Marko as an angry response to internet trolls and those anonymously spreading hate and negativity online.

[@BrendonChase_2015]

Still pretty sweet NW Floor, compared to fry screamin' & growling Floor in ReVamp. Floor unleashed was a sight to behold and I'm glad we saw ReVamp live back then, for alas, decent video registrations of their gigs are few & far between. The usual recommendation is to check out "Disdain" at Graspop live, so here's another one to check out: "4K • ReVamp (with Floor Jansen from Nightwish) - Precibus (Unofficial Video + Lyrics)". From operatic to all out growling mode, Floor was on fire! Video is live, audio (which was cr@ppy fan cam in the orig) replaced by studio track. A bit unusual but far more enjoyable than the original. Enjoy! Cheers from Amsterdam 🤘🤘 (l!nk in follow-up).

RRRRRRoooarrrrrr!🐺 Looks like you found a new purpose in life, posting them unholy l!nks on this channel.🤪

[@TaverenTech]

While the audio is better (musicians will notice) with Wembley version, I really like the Live in Rio 2015 version, because its an outdoor festival, the stage is well lit, and you can clearly see Kai's full drum set and who is singing which parts. you might watch it for yourself, just for the joy of seeing Floor's face clearly while doing the growling.

[@nikkireviews]

I will have to check that one out! 😊

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

When doing audio I always preferred indoor recordings for the sonic clarity. Outdoor shows for the atmosphere and spectacle, more the better!

[@jennienoppers210]

If you like tjhe angry side of Floor aswelll you should watch her in Wild card at bloodstok:

[@sasailicic]

My favorite song...

[@Starman_67]

Lovin' the journey 🤘😎🤘

[@sonofthesea3298]

She brought abit more raspy cleans for this specific song. And yes she is growling,but where other growlers will just push out theyr power,Floor is that type of vocalist that adjusts towards her co vocalists in the band,she does not want to deafen them,eventhough you can clearly tell that she has power enough to do so. She wanted to hold back,so that Markos voice could come through as the lead vocals in the chorus.

[@daystars-den]

You rock Nikki! cool reaction vid!

[@mattgraham2835]

she is such a versatile of a singer and such a strong passion there are six shining stars in this band top tier professional musicians everyone of them is top of their game as far as how to build an epic composition cool variety is the sounds that make up the song but the changes it goes into really dramatic even powerful sound or the speed double kick or the awesome galloping effect that erno and marcko or both of them with whatever kai is doing but this song was made there are so many things that make this song very cool to listen to and has plenty of rhythmic qualites and such cool growling

[@matts4880]

She was growling the whole time baby! Check out Disdain by Revamp live at Grasspop with young fiesty Floor

[@nikkireviews]

I will have to check that out! Someone shared a link of her growling majorly, I believe it was in that band.. I had no idea she did that! 👀

🤗🍒🤘🏻Yes Nikki, Floor crowls!!!!!!!

[@markclements7767]

Hey Nikki, greetings from UK Rest assured we could never get tired of you 😊 I was waiting to see your reaction to this one, I am glad that you enjoyed it I put the link to the "The Simpsons" clip (where they play this song) in last week's video

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

On the Dark Passion Play album is an angry song aim specifically at Tarja's husband called "Master, Passion, Greed". It is sung by Marco (I think because NW hadn't picked Anette as the replacement vocalist yet). Dark Passion Play is full of anger and and pain. "Bye, Bye Beautiful" was aimed at Tarja with some anger (Tarja responded with her own song). "The Poet and the Pendulum" was a song describing the pain Tuomas was feeling from the negative reaction from Tarja fans and his consideration of suicide placed in a song. The song from Marco that was very well constructed called "The Islander". The album reflected the pain, anger, and melancholy of the band. When Imaginaerum came around, the new songs were creative and a breath of fresh air, but the band was still working through internal friction. When Floor was brought in to finish the tour, a lot of relief was felt within the band. New cohesion was found for the first time in years.

[@ValtteL]

about Master Passion Greed, this was in 2007: Interviewer: "Lyrics apart, Master Passion Greed scares in a good way, because it’s so heavy. And only Marco sings on this track." Tuomas: "It’s a simple thing actually. I do the things the most natural way possible and this song had to be like that, heavy. Anette don’t sing on it because would be unfair to put her inside one subject she have nothing to do with. That’s why only Marco sings Master Passion Greed."

[@austindermody302]

Great reaction Nikki! 🤘🏻 #nightwish #wembleywednesdays

[@glenngunnis6642]

That was Floor growling!

[@nikkireviews]

I had to listen to it a few times..how awesome!

[@Duskwind_]

Hang on, let me check. Nope, not sick of you yet. Keep going... 😁

[@paisa20]

Thanks

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

This is an angry response from Tuomas to critics. Only one song is angrier, and it is never performed live.

[@cerberus255]

🥰

[@jimilgenfitz6998]

Any type of Floor is great, but angry Floor is very special in deed. For more proof, check out The Kinslayer..... About the Columbine shootings awhile back.🤘

[@robertsheeler321]

Tuomas wrote this as a big F U to internet trolls FYI listen again Floor was growling the whole song on the chorus .

[@haigo]

i was there she wiped the floor

[@jimharris367]

A proper headbanger, and Floor flexing pretty hard vocally - yes that is Floor growling 🤘

[@Tarkus_]

As someone on social media, I'm assuming she was not angry, but rather, flirting with me.

[@samusahlsten5948]

Angry Floor isn't something I want to meet on dark alley... Nice reaction.

[@michaelfreeman1634]

Floor sings more deeply on a few of the songs in this concert compared with Wacken 2013, most notably Ever Dream, Storytime and Ghost Love Score. She also uses a lot more vibrato on Ever Dream than she does at Wacken. No idea is she was a little off-colour at Wembly or whether she was preserving her voice for a more difficult or longer set or just a development of the songs or an experimentation

[@kevingunning7569]

When I was growing-up, a troll lived in fairy tales (usually under a bridge!!) Lol. Thanks Nikki, great reaction and now you know Floor is growling in each chorus, go back and listen to it again. See you next week with 'Ever Dream'. Byeeeee

[@RonniePeterson]

Bang, Growl, what comes next?

[@darkaether2798]

Well, you can hear Marko doing the clean vocals, so who is doing the growling? 😅

[@wannabedane4046]

Hey Nikki. Tuomas is not really found of growls, but in this song he let Floor go for it. Floor used to growl more in her previous band ReVamp - Disdain Live at Graspop (2010) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3-2l2lqgp6od5I.

[@s.b.norton9481]

How good is she?

[@jerrymail]

A slow song? "Sleeping Sun" or "Walking in the Air"... "Slow, Love Slow" ... "Deep Silent Complete" is very nice too, but not so slow.
