What better way to conclude the year as to recapture one of its outstanding highlights by revisiting Finnish Symphonic Metal legends NIGHTWISH taking the likewise legendary Wacken Open Air by storm? After being decorated with triple platinum status in Finland as well as gold status in numerous European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Poland, among others) for their most current studio masterpiece »Imaginaerum« and following the highly successful release of their very own fantasy motion picture »Imaginaerum by Nightwish«, the band is closing in its cycle of the `Imaginaerum World Tour´ with a festival triple -- Wacken Open Air being the first of those final shows. The `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2013-2013 visited in 34 countries, consisted of 104 shows with total audience attendance of over 1,5 million fans.

I am seriously so addicted to not only this song itself, but Floor’s version, specifically this performance.

[@schneevongestern9898]

This entire Wacken 2013 performance shows Floor in absolute and full vocal glory. She always was and still is supremely good. But that night she surpassed herself. This is, hands down, one of the best vocal performances I have ever heard. I believe she is in her later vocal prime currently, her absolute peak being roughly 2010-2013, and now still being VERY far away from vocal decline. Imagine being in your later vocal prime and still being better than 99,9% of singers will ever be on their best day. Also, her vocal prime is pretty prolonged compared to most other singers. She is also so consistent in her singing. When this show took place, she already was a performing singer for over 15 years. Now this show is almost a decade old. And she still is amazing. That is very impressive. She kept getting better consistently for a long time, she prolongs her vocal prime to well over a decade, more like 15 years, and her vocal decline (which will happen. it happens to every single singer eventually. It is natural and inevitable.) will presumably happen firstly: very late and secondly: very slowly. I never was so impressed and in awe by any other contemporary singer. Her range, breath support, breath control, coordination, intonation, projection, versatility, expression, diction, longevity, efficiency, consistency, vocal control, stage presence, charisma, authenticity, crowd interaction, every aspect you could think of, she does it perfectly. Just admirable. Tuomas as a composer and Floor as a singer are a match made in heaven. Also the fact that Floor gathered skill and experience for 15 years before she joined Nightwish was very important for this combination to become this amazing. And even though Nightwish with Floor as a singer gave countless brilliant performances and even though this entire Wacken 2013 show was as good as live music can possibly get, this particular song, Ghost Love Score at Wacken 2013, is probably the most glorious and elevating and overwhelming moment she as a singer and this entire band will ever have given to the world. I will never get tired of listening to this. Never. I vividly remember how I saw this video for the first time. And how overwhelmed and captivated I was. Forever grateful for being able to listen to such music.

[@zamSEG]

well said sir and i agree with you 100%... 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@rob_silveira]

There are controversies....

[@temerson2]

The best point you made here was about Floor's consistency. There are videos on youtube which compile her performances, especially the 'floorgasm' and she hits the exact same tone on the same note so perfectly that when the videos are put together it sounds like a choir of the same person. She does not vary, she hits the notes as intended perfectly EVERY TIME.

[@IckeRalph]

Exactly this.

[@felixjiu638]

Not sure if its just me but I feel her decline is already happening, particularly for her power on high notes and her vocal durability. Occasionally I could feel her intentionally reserving energy and using a thinner voice on notes that I thought should be more explosive. But still it is reasonable as she is already in her 40s and she is still the best female singer I have seen

Being friends while being lovers is the best relationship: sharing video games, music, humor etc. While most relationships are fake. And as if women can't be badass or have good taste: we exist. And being with someone who sees all this is priceless. Most men are surprised when they find women like us, yet you need to wake up and stop acting like women can't listen to anything else than pop or 'love songs', can't like any other colors than pink, can't like gore and video games, can't like movies like Jurassik park or terminator.

I have never gotten emotional while watching a live performance, until this woman opened her mouth. This was the most beautiful performance I have ever seen. Much like the audience, I was instantly drawn to her. Much like she commanded the 82,000+ people there, I too fell in line. You don't see very many moments like this, so this is something that will always remain legendary

[@shannontaylor345]

Definetly legendary and i was fortunate enough to be there having seen both Tarja and Anette this was my first time seeing Floor in Nightwish and by god i was euphoric.

Floor Jansen has to be one of the best female vocalists on the planet today!! Her range, power, diversity, emotion, techniques and sheer talent are second to none!!

[@petergurton6769]

Agreed. I first heard Nightwish around 2007. I liked the songs but couldn't take to Tarja's vocal. Discovered them again mid 2022 and could not believe Floor's vocals. The power, tone and range are unlike anything I have heard, not least is her ability to switch between operatic and rock voices, sometimes mid sentence. And it's not just the singing, but her stage presence. I like Annette's voice on Imaginaeum, but Floor is in a different league, and that is no disrespect to Annette, just my opinion on how great Floor is; her voice is a gift to the world.

For some years ago Floor and the bassist (and singer) Marko were singing Christmas carols in my little home town in northern Finland. It was a part of an annual tour by musicians from different Finnish metal bands, performing Christmas carols together in a heavy style ( Raskasta Joulua), ”Heavy Christmas”. It was fantastic, funny, touching and just spectacular! Christmas songs like never before! I already loved Marko but I hadn’t heard Floor before because I was still sad about the fact that Tarja was no longer in the band. But Floor had such a great presence! She was not only singing for us but I had the feeling that she was WITH us! She was having fun with us. She has a huge and captivating charisma, not even to mention her voice. We were only a small audience at that time, but she gave a performance as if we were a festival audience, even though she was heavily pregnant at that time. All the musicians were just GREAT, I loved hearing them! I think it is special that these musicians from different groups join and make these tours together.

Same happen to me: totally random yt decided to put in my homepage a reaction video of an american teacher. It changes my life. This music is powerful and sweet at the same time, i can't stop listening

[@caleyjag2]

Welcome brother!

[@KatharinaOrsakowsky]

Welcome to the Nightwish army 😊 it's been different for me, I was a Nightwish fan from the first hour and kind of lost them when Tarja left and I was really sceptical about yet another new singer. Until I heard this and had my first Floorgasm

[@StarOfArtemis]

8:25 and on makes me cry with absolute awe every single time, it’s.. she’s.. I don’t even have words.

[@bdubs3819]

Every time

[@johnnyawesome2533]

Me too

[@michm2552]

I watched her reacting to this performance and talking about how she feels so alive with that portion. She played with it on tour and responded to how the crowd did....then kept it....with that friggin angelic high note.

[@nelbelmont]

7:45... The top level of symphonic metal of my life begins... Since the Once album i have the change of pace and forward...as the flag of symphonic metal (the whole song is but this part in specific)... And i can relate with the lady...totally... Crying even

[@LPrulez943]

What gets me every time is that cheer of instant recognition when the song starts.

[@dcbluenose1873]

Been watching this almost daily for the past week - not yet tired of it. What a masterpiece of a song.

[@arnomeeuwisse6692]

Me too...magic...great band

[@Titiblu22]

I LOVE NIGHTWISH

[@alekseishkurin4590]

How come this only has 4.4M views! Beautiful live, Floor just brought so much character into this song

[@a3842-j3o]

4.5 now!

[@Donasaur7734]

Every time I stumble back onto this video I find myself crying. It's unreal how powerful this performance is.

[@reeilona]

True.

[@GolfisnotEZ]

Best singer ever

[@rich8715]

Um yeah, Im convinced. Astounding.

[@larryhicks7683]

It's 2024 and they sound even better now than when I started listening to them 15 years ago. The other women were awesome but Floor Jansen is just an angel come to earth to sing. Anybody else think this? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Yes I am a Floor fan boy, well old man but still.... DAMN SHE'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@TheSuperTrickey]

One of the best musical performances in history, regardless of genre. Absolute Raw Power!

[@carolineghessi9253]

This is better than studio version. Floor's voice is perfect and the band is amazing

[@makedaevilmage]

This woman is a fricking Godess.

[@Senbad-p7t]

В самом лучшем смысле! Поддерживаю! 👌

[@FrozenShadows88]

Floor the best female voice in metal world.

[@TheZellalicious]

In the world. Not just the metal one. She slays everyone else.

[@RavensFlock9592]

She is the best singer in the world, period.

[@sertacozkan4670]

This is the best live performance ever...

[@andreabraganolo7678]

Floor is incredible, her voice is unparalleled

[@willytee585]

Listening to Floor sing this isnt just listening to music its way beyond that its a spiritual experience and moves my emotions so much !! Floor is the best singer ive heard in my whole life male or female .

[@Titan19701]

I feel same way….. weird ?

[@laudatosiadastra1218]

So true, she is a total anomaly. So breathtaking in every aspect.

[@Strange9952]

I'm not particularly emotional person most days, but this hits me to my soul

[@YNGWIE998]

Someone once said in a comment "She sings to your soul" That in my opinion is the most appropriate description of Floor's uncanny ability to move the listener into a high state of emotion.

[@scandiman68]

I love when Emmpuu goes for a stroll and gives everyone a 'great job' pat on the arm.

[@roddo1955]

I read somewhere it is his que to remind the others to check if their earpieces are still on. Is this is true?

[@Stinkydo0d]

@@roddo1955 Judging by how Floor said, "There goes Emppu, walking around touching everyone! He always does that!" I don't think so. He's just one of those people that has that personality. But he does sometimes turn the other guys' earpiece units down as a practical joke. lol

[@debasmitakundu1639]

Can we just please notice how good Jukka is!!! He's the backbone of this song. ❤️ That energy, that dominance, that supreme control of drums is rare!

[@plantifulalexandra]

6:36 Goosebumps, this is so good. I love Tarja, forever my favourite Nightwish singer, but she couldn't have pulled this off that way.

[@PekkaKolehmainen]

I have watched this dozens of times, if not three digit numbers, and every single time it brings tears in my eyes. If I listen to this alone, loud, or through headphones I am pretty much crying in the end. WTF?

[@bcornbally8424]

same thing here! LOL

[@ThePrezesito]

Coz its The greatest performence of this song Ever? Floor is a freaking Goddess.

[@mortemium]

It's Floorgasm, totally normal reaction :)

[@davidlock2666]

Gives me goosebumps

[@HailTheHolyMetal]

9:20 She literally blew me off my chair there. Holy ...

[@Ensuh]

6:36 --> Oh dearest Floor, that is brilliant!!!!!!! YEAH!!! I love the power and aggression in her voice! And 9:04 --> just angelic

[@suzanneorpen7762]

my husband played me this song, as I don't love metal but do Opera.... I fell in love with this song... Floor is amazing with all the musical elements of the rest of the band.... Her energy also shines through her performance...

[@discombubulate2256]

just want to tip my hat to the sound engineers for this concert spot on lads.

[@LouSlack]

Simple question: best female singer you ever heard? Simple answer: Floor Jansen wow!!!

[@LL-to8rf]

@9:13 ....WOW! Floor Jansen is just absolutely INSANE! One of the best singers in the world!

[@Iliten6750]

Yes! Just ❤️🖤 that G#5 at the end

[@Sasfoot]

This is one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen. Floor looks like a warrior goddess on stage and that very last note she hits still gives me chills.

[@shsz1984]

This might be the only song on the planet that can take your soul for a ride to paradise.

[@natasjadirken5633]

I've been deaf at my right ear for the last 4 months and I became very depressed, on the edge of ending my life. Now I've had my surgery at the hospital and I've turned my surround on and I am litterly surrounded by this most amazing song and I'm bawling my eyes out of sheer happiness!!! I've never been SO happy in my Life!!! I've been a discjockey, I create my own audio mixes and my life hangs in the balance with my music. I can not express the words of how happy I am to hear this songs with two ears, and there's a chance this is temporarily and maybe I'll need another surgery, but for now I do not care!!!! Take the light out of my eyes, I don't care, but DO NOT TAKE MY MUSIC from me!!!! Thank you guys and dank je wel geweldige Floor 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@sluice]

Do you think the people in the audience knew they were witnessing the greatest vocal performance of all time?

[@shadyc7044]

Yes.

[@jorijett]

Watched it again... still came to tears at the climax. Nightwish is amazing and I am SO in love with Floor!

[@DustinH81]

This song is a 10 minute long orgasm for me 💕

[@Kuribohcoast]

They played this as the encore of a live show I was at several years ago and I nearly fell off the balcony

[@loswaldo777]

Wasn't sure how Floor would go with this - but she really brings this to a whole new dimension.

[@GolfisnotEZ]

Floor was given incredible gifts but then worked very hard to cultivate these gifts. Phenomenal

[@greenscarab2]

She's a warrior, Amazonian, goddess/ witch / wise woman. He body language, voice, jestures is mind blowing😳 The musicians in this band are the best of the best, but when she joined, it took it to another level!! They are up there with Emerson lake, Beatles for me! I hold my breath every time I see this video. And every live performance is the same. It shows how good they are when live is better than studio 🎙

[@sethrigel9281]

I have probably watched Floor sing this song like twelve times between this video and the one from Argentina and I get literal chills through my whole body every time she hits that last note. They could have found nobody better to be the new singer for this band outside of Tarja herself. And even then I'm still more pumped to hear what stuff they'll produce with her fronting this band.

[@sethrigel9281]

Couldn't*

[@AH-auDHD]

Tarja will always be better when it comes to this song. Her voice MADE this song what it is, and her voice doesn't sound strained on the first verse. Just saying.

[@kimberlyh.1090]

"They couldn't have found nobody better to be the new singer for this band outside of Tarja herself." Agreed. Floor is the best singer they'll ever get after Tarja.

[@kimberlyh.1090]

@@AH-auDHD I actually *really* like Floor's "revamping" (Ha) of GLS, both beginning, middle, and end; I just wish the last note wasn't a belt, and don't get why people have absolutely lost their shit over it. But Tarja's "End of An Era" GLS is still the best to me. So gothic and regal. 😍

[@grahamkey8496]

@@AH-auDHD Tarja better in the first half, Floor better in the second.

[@virginieb7965]

Her voice is so powerful, it's really beautiful

[@theshadow-]

From another world, Floor Jansen is from another world.

[@larryhicks7683]

Her presence just intraps anyone that hears it. She is atheral..... In presence and voice.

[@garyrouleau4676]

America needs to see this!!! Powerful Woman!!!

[@figbassist753]

I have to admit it. I discovered Nightwish three weeks ago via a friend’s suggestion. And wow! What an experience! I can’t stop watching this song and other Nightwish videos. The band is incredible but what about Floor Jansen’s vocals? They are the most beautiful vocals I have ever heard in my life. Sends chills down my spine every single time.

[@jhmn123]

The song keeps growing for the whole 10 minutes, never falls flat. Just epic

[@1122tg]

The one and only reason the internet should exist is providing an opportunity for everyone to watch videos like this. Eternal masterpiece in all aspects.

[@gregj427]

This song makes me feel things I have never felt before. I have no words to explain. I am 63 but i still can't find the right words !!!

[@KageStelhman]

My good sir that feeling when people get when Floor Sings, you know... shortness of breath, eyes tearing up, chill down your back and full body Goosebumps... that would be called a Floorgasm. everyone has them, every time... Definitely Recommend seeing them live

[@cub3rius]

Floor's live performance is flawless! She's the one.
