Vocal Coach/Musician Reacts: NIGHTWISH ‘Ghost Love Score’ Wacken 2013 Analysis!

[@ninaschofield]

As you can see I got a little overwhelmed!! Let me know your thoughts below 👇🏻 If you haven’t seen my first Nightwish reaction then you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oILFemmXprukfrs 🙏🏻

[@JStephens_73]

While it's true that most reactors start with this one as a starting point to the journey through their songs, it really doesn't matter what you start with as long as you yourself are enjoying the journey as well

[@DrumsAndGadgets]

Great reaction, Nightwish can really go under your skin. Those goosebumps with Nightwish are called Floorgasms, really. :-D That song was number 13th in that night in front of 82 000 people. (Wacken festival was sold out...) Talking about some major vocal control since the setlist had also hard metal singing songs included. There are plenty of NIghtwish songs that will surprise you and make those "Floorgasms". When you think that you have heard them all, they surprise you with another emonational bomb. You could try next the song called "The Devil and The Deep Dark Ocean, live at Buenos Aires". It's a "duel" between bassist Marco and Floor Jansen. The bass player Marco is also an excellent singer. Background info for that song; Floor had a cold in that night and it was not sure could she perform that night. She did however, and you can not hear that in her voice. As I said great reaction, keep them coming!

Hey Nina when you like to anderstand the World of Nightwish than go back to the Nightwish History. THE ORIGINAL NIGHTWISH BAND WITH TOUMAS HOLOPAINEN KEYBORD EMPU VUIRINEN GITARR TARJA TURUNEN VOCAL S JUKKA NERVALAINEN DRUMS AND SAMI VANSKA BASS. TARJA TURUNEN WAS THE ORIGINAL Singer by Nightwish . Also from Wishes to Eternity Show DVD Live in Tempere 2000 . End of an Era Show DVD 2005.. this is the Tarja Turunen Era . Also have fun. And becarfull. You can trapt as a Fan in a Split of a sec.

[@josephbishop3590]

Thanks Nina! Awesome reaction. You're not the first to become emotional viewing this truly epic performance. Happens to a lot of us! GLS is often the introduction to Nightwish, but it also opens a rabbit hole to an undiscovered (by the reactor) world of colors and textures unimagined. Nightwish are early pioneers of "symphonic metal" and continue to evolve the genre. Often compared to Amy Lee of Evanescence Floor's experience on stage predates Lee's emergence and her vocal mastery is stuff of legend. The genre includes some of the most emotive, complex and powerful artists in the industry, but is largely based in Europe, centering on Finland and Sweden. More artists in this vein... Ayreon (you'll flip over this creator) Epica Avantasia Kamelot Sirenia Evergrey Amaranth Within Temptation A whole bunch more for you to discover! Ciao

The next usually would either be Romanticide or Ever Dream (both from same concert Wacken 2013). Ever Dream is just pure amazing belt central, plus both songs introduces Marco's (Bassist) vocals an equally amazing vocalist who could be the lead of any band on his own. Personally I recommend Last ride of the day (Tampere concert) but doing Romanticide or Ever Dream would still be fun. Cheers!

[@Rosannasfriend]

You’re the first voice coach in years who talks specifically about how she is constantly crescendoing and changing dynamics, and I would like to add I have always liked the way she plays with her vowels, constantly doing this slow “ open up “ where she goes from closed to open at the end of her phrases on her ending words. That is a fantastic vocal exercise and a great way to make sure your vowels are resonant.

[@clivematthews5296]

They use backing tracks of The London Philharmonic Orchestra plus an adult and children's choirs. Tuomas the keyboardist and composer loves to use them. They are present on so many songs at this and every concert. Glad to see another Brit appreciating their talent. And if you haven't been made aware, Floor is a vocal coach plus there are several amazing covers on her own KZbin channel.

" with their song "Ever Dream" (live @Wacken 2013) As for heat waves, Nightwish has a good remedy for that, a "cold shower" song: try "Ghost River" (again, live at Wacken 2013) Greetings from Italy! 👋🇮🇹🖖

Floor Jansen, who is Dutch, used to be in a band called After Forever. A good track from her past: After Forever - Energize Me. Floor Jansen popularity has been built on her dynamic voice. She was on a Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers, where she slayed Phantom Of The Opera and other styles of singing. She is now on tour with Nightwish, so I am looking forward to see her band at Wembley Arena later this year. Floor also performed a solo project live, where she experimented on a Pop or softer style. Great live performance Floor Jansen - Live at Pinkpop 2022 on KZbin. Other great reactions of similar singers: Simone Simons, EPICA - Beyond The Matrix - Live at the Zenith, Within Temptation & Tarja Turunen - Paradise (Master of rock 2019)

Hello Nina. Just happened upon your channel while looking for reactions to my beloved Nightwish. Subbed! ☺️ Welcome to Nightwish, and welcome to the rabbit hole. You've just started the journey of your life. Floor is phenomenal. But has anyone told you yet that the bassist, Marko Hietala, is also a vocal monster? I'd recommend your next reaction to be "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013. This will showcase Floor's incredibly powerful and beautiful upper chest register, and also briefly introduce you to Marko's vocals. Great reaction. Nightwish will be a long journey, but I promise you it is worth every second. They're an incredibly special band. Hugs from Wales

[@paradox31]

I've watched this masterpiece countless times as well as reactions to it. But yours brings a big smile on my face 😃. Thanks . You made my day 🥰

[@g3synth205]

"Song of Myself" is awesome. You get some really good harmonies with the bassist, Marko, who is a really talented vocalist in his own right. It's also a bit heavier than Ghost Love Score (GLS). Similarly to Ghost Love Score, it has multiple elements, so it almost seems like multiple songs in one. Great instrumentation too. Link (this is a really high-quality version. The song itself ends around 6:45, and then it's like ~7 minutes of poetry (which you can skip)). kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaS1mIKep5h9qs0 If you choose to listen to this eventually, make sure you check out the version from Wacken 2013 (same performance/concert as this performance of GLS).

The drummer is playing to a click track in his ear the keep time with the pre-recorded choir snd strings. This is how he comes in flawlessly and leads the rest of the band. Also, you know the band is good when their live performance sounds like a studio recording. This was song 13 out of a 16 song set and Floor nailed every note. There is nothing she can't sing. You need to check out her solo stuff and covers. BTW, she can sing in English, Dutch, Germain, Spanish, Latin, and I bet she could make Klingon sound romantic.

[@ytcag2007]

Greetings Nina. Floor Jansen (yan•sen), the 6 foot Dutch Goddess of all things vocal is quite possibly the most versatile singer you will ever hear. This is her favorite Nightwish song to sing for that reason and because she basically wrote the lyrical ending to the song, which made it a mega hit among the Nightwish Army, it is "forever on their set list". The organ pipes are a stage prop and wine holder for the keyboard player who happens to be the founder and songwriter/lyricist of the band. Loved your enthusiasm and reaction to this epic band. Thank you so much for the video and comments. Hope to see a lot more. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤🤘🤘 Very late edit after rewatching this video: During the interlude, you were listening to the magic of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, London's The Metro Voices and Children's Choir. They all worked with keyboard player, Tuomas Holopainen since their very first album released in 1997. Pip Williams is the one responsible for orchestrating all the backing tracks and choir parts pre recorded for the albums and live shows. In regards to the strings; they are recorded in the backing tracks, however, Tuomas decides for each show what he wants to play on each song, meaning in one show he may choose to play the synth parts on keyboard along with his own arrangements. On another show he may choose to play the strings parts, or wind instruments, but for the most part he usually sticks to playing the string sections. And lastly... Ah yes... the goosebumps, chills, a tear or 2 of an emotional release... Those things Nightwish is known for, especially with Floor Jansen. She knows more about how to use the vocal mechanism than any singer you will ever know. From breath support in the diaphragm, rib muscles, and lungs, to the resonating tone created by the shape of the skull, and absolutely everything in between. Please subscribe to her channel (Floor Jansen), as she has 4 master classes I'm sure you will find extremely interesting. I'd love to see you react to those. 😉 Also, she actually did a reaction and analysis on the technical use of her vocals for this song. If you follow Gabriel's list, the next song is "Storytime" but I'd like to see you react to Floor's reaction of Ghost Love Score while it's still fresh in your head AND, it's an awesome opportunity to get to know Floor on a more personal level. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4jCZHlnbZuSa7M Hope to see it.

I couldn't even say how many times I've heard it, and it still amazes me. There are instances where she will make those stylistic transitions you were referring to, for a single syllable, and then come right back. She is extremely particular about every little detail. Of course as you saw, her ability to carry that beautiful tone quality up through her range is surprising to say the least. And yet on top of all that focus, and honed skill, she still manages to be so expressive and genuine in her performance.

Amazing reaction! I have seen hundreds to this song, and yours is one of my favorites. Your ability to immediately read time signatures and repeat vocal or piano parts on the fly shows just how intently (and expertly) you are listening to an analyzing what you're hearing. You're pretty amazing. I had already subscribed, based on your first Nightwish reaction, but I am 100% on board for you (hopefully) exploring more! Honestly, you have no idea what you're in for, in terms of musical arrangements and Floor's voice (and Marko, and Tarja). The greatest band I have ever found in terms of vocals, technical ability, arrangements and live performances - plus, Floor's stage presence. I am so here for it! Looking forward to this journey if you take it. Gabriel I am sure posted a list, but I very highly recommend Storytime, Everdream, Romanticide, Song of Myself from this show (Wacken 2013, as well as anything from Wacken 2013), Yours is an Empty Hope from Wenbley will surprise you, and I Want My Tears Back from Beunos Aires is special. Anything. I'd do it all. Don't miss Tarja and Marko doing Phantom of the Opera. Thanks for this reaction. Seeing your other one, your reaction here is pretty much what I expected. 🙂

[@chadbennett7873]

Thanks for a wonderful and entertaining reaction, Nina. The more musically educated one is, the more they can appreciate the amazing compositions and layered arrangements of Tumoas Holopainen. He is brilliant is every way, but one of his wisest decisions is to surround himself with four virtuoso instrumentalists and the most incredibly versatile singer on the planet. The colors on his pallet for composition far exceed any other I've ever seen, and his most recent songs have been challenging for both performer and listener. With your obvious background, you will appreciate that he paints with not only all visible colors to humans, but is capable of venturing into the colors we cannot see, and forces us into thoughts and emotions that can only enhance our understanding of our universe. (Wait until you digest "The Greatest Show On Earth"). You will never find yourself un-amazed by their songs, and the incredible diversity of the composition. Every one is unique and challenging, musically and socially educating, and emotionally stirring. No, we couldn't "see" your goosebumps, but we are certain they were there, because we had them too. We have them on every song, no matter how many times we have obsessively listened to the song. Many of us have said it, in answer to the question ..."What's your favorite Nightwish song?" ... "the one to which I'm currently listening!" Welcome to the journey of a lifetime.

Great reaction & welcome back to the world of Nightwish! There's no limits to what Floor can do vocally. Apart from that, her stage presence is just out of this world, as the Hellfest gig amply showed just the other day. We were at Pinkpop and witnessed her solo and (2 hrs later) with her brothers in metal on the same day. Epic! Daria Vocalist did a "Floor week" just now, where she compared Floor in After Forever to Floor in ReVamp (Disdain!). She also did a great reaction to the mini-documentary abt Floor at the Rock Academy Reunion in 2015. In that English subbed docu done for Dutch television, on site interviews were done right before/after the legendary Nightwish concert at Tampere where Floor's parents were present in the audience. Check it out, it's a great introduction to Floor, the person behind the performance (which is the same btw, she's just being herself on stage): "Floor Jansen in Dutch show Reunion (Tampere 2015)". Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘

[@darkiee69]

When this was recorded Floor had been the replacement singer of Nightwish för just about 10 months. She did her first show in Seattle Wa on Oct 1st 2012 after the band fired Anette, their second singer. This was recorded Aug.3rd 2013. This song wasn't on the set list for the tour originally since Anette didn't have the vocal ability to perform it. But Floor had heard the song when her first band After Forever" toured with Nightwish when Tarja, their first singer, was still in the band, and she loved it. So Floor asked Tuomas (the guy behind the keyboards) if they could make it a part of the set list. And they did, it was song number 13 of a 15 song set. There's som minor variations in the backing between Floors and Tarjas version, mainly that the choir have been reduced in volume. There's a video on youtube from, I think, Argentina, recorded Dec15th 2012. And there's one of Tarja doing it too. If you want to know more about how Floor got in to the band I can recommend a documentary, also here on KZbin called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours"

its pure amazement seeing the absolutely incredible things floor can do and ppls reactions

[@DraconimLt]

If no one's told you yet, the genre of Nightwish is called Symphonic Metal. Floor has a huge range. Putting in my vote for Storytime and Everdream next! Also, you should hear Floor's version of 'Shallow'. 😃

[@Newbihno]

Already subscribed darling :) Was waiting for your reaction to Ghost Love Score. Gabriel will probably pop up and give you a comprehensive list of videos with links. Probably he did on your first reaction as well. Cheers!

[@bushman9222]

It is a VERY deep rabbit hole you have just begun to plunge into.

[@inkak.2010]

My friday entertainment in the most wholesome way possible is to find ppl reacting to this because I freaking have loved Nightwish since forever. So seeing ppl finding Nightwish and them loving it makes my heart sing ❤️

[@richardstoddard9111]

Great reaction. Floor is the best I've ever heard in my nearly 66 years on this rock

[@muumiveikko]

Thanx for the nice video, your video is very pleasent to watch so can you do more Nightwish reactions :)

[@ironmuzz]

The most impressive thing is that the WHOLE thing was written and composed by Tuomas (the guy on the keyboards) !!!

[@stevek729]

Greetings Nina Schofield! Nightwish Army USA, Nebraska division checking back in. I enjoyed watching you do another reaction to Nightwish and our Goddess Floor. It was great to see you experience your first Floorgasm. I am glad that your are enjoying your Nightwish journey and I look forward to more Nightwish reactions from you. You have so much more to learn and experience with them.

[@rianvandenhoof4124]

Very epic reaction on a very epic band. Thank you for your reaction, despite the heatwave that is bothering your country (and coming our way tomorrow LOL ) greetings from the netherlands.

[@ninaschofield]

🙏🏻 ☀️

Everytime she lands that note at live shows, you can hear the crowd cheer and roar in celebration. Greatest Show on Earth Poet and the pendulum

[@Rex_Stuph]

The thing that made this performance legendary is that the original lyrics, in the original arrangement ended with "Time to never hold your love" (your video time about 12 : 50) Everything beyond that was Floor's own ad-libbing. Also she can compentely sing death bellow style too :P

[@kyrosv1289]

Back here again I love how you catch so many details even in your first listen! and how you test and show us with the keyboard! it's very helpful! Really like also that you looked at the lyrics at the end! It's going to be a joy to see you react and analyse more Nightwish songs Live! Or as a vocalyst some of Floor's solos works. Keep them coming!!

[@knightsofra1944]

The Wacken 2013 set is really like a greatest hits show. I would love to see you just follow the set list for this performance, Tuomas takes you on a roller coaster rid of emotions. It depends on your mood what song you should do next, you want rock then-She Is My Sin, Romanticide, Ghost River or Dark chest of wonders. If you want softer more intense lyrics then Nemo or Everdream. You want wild fun -Song of Myself, Storytime, Last ride of the day or I Want My Tears Back. Love your review, and your in for a wild ride with Nightwish. Cheers

[@-TWG-]

I love how you say "the goosebumps". Awesome reaction Nina!

[@smooth_sundaes5172]

The entire Wacken '13 gig is worth a listen. I've already done it twice and it really is a superb concert.

Nightwish Army Manila Appreciates

[@maartinni]

Me encantó tu reacción 🤩 y me gusta más la emoción de personas que no son del mundo del metal, porque descubren bandas épicas y eso lo hace más emocionante!! Saludos linda 🤩👍🇦🇷

[@CYANMUSICNETLABEL]

Nightwish and Floor Jansen are... a phenomena! THEY brought me to listen to Symphonic Metal. Listen to them is an experience, they tell stories and they perform so incredible! This music and this valkyrie voice is not from this world, i believe... Nightwish touches me like no other music did before!

[@HawkPats]

Great reaction! I've seen it a thousand times and still get goosebumps at various points; and emotional, when reactors get emotional 🙂 Love it! Most of Nightwish fans are very nice and friendly. However, there will be some guys showing up, who will tell you how you have to do your channel and especially how to do proper Nightwish reactions (pausing to much, not rewinding a couple seconds after pausing, blablabla). Just ignore them. It is YOUR channel and who doesn't like it can just avoid watching you. You are great as you are! Cheers from Germany 🤘😎

[@ninaschofield]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

[@barryfox8464]

I have literally watched over 50 different reactions to "Ghost Love Score" in the past 2 years after discovering Nightwish - Your reaction was great - I love how fast you can pick out the key & tempo changes and play the piano part (great ear) - I still get goosebumps and emotional even after hearing this song 100 times - so glad you felt it too. Floor is just an amazing singer with a very talented band. I can't wait to see what more Nightwish songs you will venture into

[@sterlingknight8087]

Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Love the skill you obviously are trained by ear as well and know your music. Thank you very insightful.

[@horsehollerer]

Ha, this was wonderful. I can't believe I learned yet more new things about this song, but here we are (Even Floor Janssen herself has reacted to this clip LOL). People will throw all sorts of suggestions your way, but unless you are planning to react to like 30 Nightwish tunes (you're not) and/or you are suddenly a massive metal fan (again, you're probably not), I would go straight for the other massive multi-part masterpiece called "The Greatest Show on Earth", which documents evolution from the big bang theory to the present day. It's 21 minutes long but worth it! Live at Tampere is the one. You'll get opera, belting, spoken word, sick harmonies and fireworks :) Incidentally, when I saw them in May in NYC, they played Ghost Love Score and Greatest Show on Earth back-to-back in their entirety as an encore. That's 35 minutes for two songs in one encore! Also, it was at a SMALL 2,000 CAPACITY VENUE! As you can tell, I still haven't recovered.

[@joevisuelan9398]

Here comes the nightwish army

[@AndyMagnusson70]

Hehehehehe I would really enjoy watching you react to Nightwish - "Yours is an empty hope", live from Wembley arena. There you will hear Floor go to another level. Definatly in the choruses.

[@stefanripkens6310]

Mega Reaction..... 🥰👍 Greetings from Germany....

[@dasnordlicht7069]

Wonderful piece of reaction 👍🤘

[@ninaschofield]

Thank you!

[@Pamgiber]

Great reaction! Really hope you continue your Nightwish journey. Be sure you will be amazed by each and every new song you listen to.

[@jerrybk1]

Don't know if said but Floor actually did a you tube reaction to this song and specific performance at Wacken. It was very entertaining. Lots of behind scenes stories

[@TimoArula]

The Spell is complete !!!! Our Valkyrie Goddess has your soul . Rejoice, your Path to the Nightwish wonder is going to be Magical 🧙‍♂!!! Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia will accompany you on your journey 🤘😎🤘 !!!

[@TedinCalgary1952]

Thank you! At least now I hope you see why some of us might have been such pests and were bugging you so much to watch this piece! I have seen virtually all the "GLS" reactions out there, and yours is at the very top in ability to instantly pick out musical information about the song, and nuances of Floor's singing. I'm sure you reaction will attract many new appreciative viewers to your channel! As for "what to watch next", you will get hundreds of recommendations from our "Nightwish Army"; the only thing I would add is: don't forget Floor has many wonderful SOLO performances out there you should review as well. Highly sought after examples include songs from the "Beste Zangers" T.V. series: "Phantom of the Opera", "Shallow", "Que Si Siente" (a Spanish belter), and the operatic piece "Vilja Lied", and her self-recorded "home" solo performances during Covid, where Floor covers popular tunes, such as "Let It Go" from the movie "Frozen"; "Oblivion" from the movie with Tom Cruise; and her cover of Lara Fabian's "Adagio". Finally, on a personal note from over here in North America: re --- the heat. Yes, I know you are not as used to having air conditioning as we are -- I was a student at LSE some years ago so I have some experience with London. A popular method I use here is to buy a small, portable, more affordable unit and have at least one room that is A/C (often the bedroom for sleeping), then put it away the rest of the year when it isn't so hot, to get it out of the way. This way you don't have a window with the A/C unit taking up the whole window all year round when it doesn't make any sense. I am currently using the Danby 9000 BTU portable. Here's the link for it: www.danby.com/products/portable-air-conditioners/dpa050b7bdb. It's about as quiet as you can get --- some units, especially some of the in-window units, can make quite a lot of noise, and you probably don't want too much of that in the house with what you are trying to do with your music! Thanks again for your reaction to Floor + N.W.! Looking forward to more!

[@shspurs1342]

I have watched so many reaction of this performance. Nina yours is definitely one of the very best.

[@sulliken77]

Did we beat Gabriel to this one? Awsome reaction. You just had an "Floorgasm". The way she's changing styles on a drop of a hat? That's one of the reasons we love her. She herself says that she's a vocal nerd. She does everything from opera to Death Metal growling. And of course, everything between. Exept yodeling. Haven't heard her yodel.

[@HiTekCowboy]

Howdy from the Nightwish Army Texas Division. I always enjoy finding new vocal coaches to watch. Yall always have unique perspectives and I manage to learn something new from each one. I can't wait to here more reactions from Nightwish or other performers. Great analysis.
