Yes well, you want to be told what to react to next. Sorry, telling someone what to do is like walking through a mine field. But, I'm willing to put up some suggestions for your consideration. I get the sense that you enjoy Floor's vocals, so you also might enjoy some of her performances from her solo projects which began back in 2019 on a Dutch show called Beste Zangers where she is hardly known by her singing peers (solo of Shallow, duet Phantom of the Opera, Vilja Lied in German); or from her fall 2021 solo concert in Amsterdam (Slow Love Slow, Storm in a Glass); or her new singles released from her upcoming 2023 solo Album (strongly recommend live versions of those songs, here are well recorded versions (Fire. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKLaeYCdpMR3mrM Storm kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpWkgWuDn8yblac ) which are much more organic than her official videos.

Here's an all female power metal band from Japan that sing in English the 2 guitarists (Midori & Miyako) can play better than most men one of them also does most the Piano work having been classically trained since she was 3 (Miyako) the band was founded by Miho the Bassist and ex Destrose member, she recruited her ex Destrose bandmate Haruna on Drums. Miho's idol is Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris, and they love 80's british metal. They also do great power ballads. since 2016 they have produced 3 albums, 4 EP's (Mini 4-5 song albums), and 4 live albums last year they also released the best of Lovebites 2017-2021. In 2018 they won the prestigious Metal Hammer Golden God award for best new band also previously won by popular bands before them like Avenged Sevenfold and Anthrax. They recruited Asami an R&B Vocalist to sing she learned to sing metal and I'd liken her to a female Bruce Dickinson(Iron Maiden) These women are the best new metal band in over 30 years the dual guitar attack is reminiscent of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and other dual rockers of the past they have also been on tour with Dragonforce and compared as a female version of dragonforce. Here is a Ballad/Banger that Asami shows off her R&B Voice during the slow parts enjoy Lovebites Edge of the World kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4vNqYCgd9Sjbdk also the CC works to view the lyrics. The note she holds for what seems an eternity is very impressive at the beginning of the song.

Hello beautiful Nina. This is probably number 2-3 with me, favorite being Shudder before the Beautiful. We have a heatwave in Southern Finland also. 29°C in shadow. And seems to go on till next week's Tuesday. Wednesday is promised to rain and raining hard.. So remember to drink lots of water there as well. I'm going swimming to the near-by beach. Ocean water is even mid 20°C. In shallow water obviously. I really do love your reactions ,just because you break down music and vocals with such entertaining way. Usually reactors do one or the other. Or if they do both it shows they really don't have the training or knowledge to do both. S9 thank you, Stay safe and hydrated. Kiitos paljon, rakkaudella Suomesta(Thank you so much, with love from Finland).

Nina, besides every song from Wacken 2013 being standard setting Gold and a must visit, there are many other examples of Floor's vocal versatility that are especially interesting for a vocal coach : Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp2mhJagq6mCgK8 Floor Jansen sings Shallow for Emma Heesters Beste Zangers 2019 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2eboZhqlsRssM0 *with subtittles :kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4i6k5qPf5uEbKc *just Floor & Troy: Nightwish - How's The Heart Acoustic (Planet Rock acoustic session)Live 2020 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4rXnIOme76thdE *just Floor & her buddy from her 1st band AfterForever Joost van den Broek : Alone - Heart (cover by Floor Jansen)2020 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5fYXqyGa9Zpfc0 from Wacken I recommend Floor's 2nd fav NW song to perform : *Nightwish - Bless the Child (Wacken 2013) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIWzial7a9Rmgrs or :Ghost River (Wacken 2013) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmbImqeaYqp0bKs

Replacing the previous singer mid-tour, 48 hours to learn the setlist, to then go and sing at Wacken after 10 months of touring and getting introduced to the European crowd for the first time singing songs that were NOT written for her .... and then sing like THIS? It blew my mind. The music, the band, Floor, the lights spectacle, tasteful filming, this entire concert is the best live show I have ever seen. I often forget how heavy songs are because it is like watching a movie. You are captured by the story, the visuals, the singing, the storytelling etc etc etc. Then add how gracefully Floor is on stage, how she is a true front lady, amping up the crowd. I mean .... c'mon.

[@braindump1446]

Oh, sorry ... forgot to mention the amazing crowd! They made everything even more special.

[@212mochaman]

@@braindump1446 well yeah. But its wacken. Nightwish cant take credit for that. Metal festivals will not ever top wacken

[@Cobinja]

If you want to hear more Marco, I hereby recommend the usual suspects: The Islander (Live at Tampere), While Your Lips Are Still Red (live at Wembley). And of course High Hopes (Pink Floyd tribute) and Phantom Of The Opera (live with Nightwish's first singer Tarja Turunen), both from the End Of An Era DVD.

[@davidbarrass5210]

Not forgetting ghost River and song of myself from this same Wacken concert.

[@jeehaa7099]

Vocally most interessting to me is Marco's part in Nightwish - High Hopes (Pink Floyd tribute)

He also sang and won on the Finish version of The Masked Singer! I do not have the links but they are out there

[@djmckay410]

??kpl?kp?

[@darpompie4354]

I think something Nina would enjoy more is Nightwish's rendition of phantom of the opera. Although, this is with Tarja who killed it with her operatic style, to me, Marco stole the show and is the best phantom I've ever heard. Completely skillfully deranged, just how the phantom should be.

[@chriso6719]

Floor has said that this song is one of the more challenging for her to sing. All 3 songs you've done so far are from the Tarja era. Storytime is usually also one of the first few songs reacted to. That is from the Anette era. All songs at Wacken 2013 were written for one of the first 2 singers. Since you like Marko's voice so much, try their version of Phantom of the Opera, with Tarja, or their cover/tribute of Pink Floyd's High Hopes (Marko lead vocal). He really shines in both.

[@puarterquonder]

Don't forget 'While your lips are still red' The life version.

Highly recommended yet rarely suggested: 'THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH'! It is regarded as Nightwish's most daring and skilled piece of music and absolutely astonishing! It shows both Floor's and Marco's vocal capabilities as well as unmatched musical genius by Tuomas. Pay attention to the lyrics too, it is poetry!

Personally I prefer the Wembley recording with Troy on Ebow guitar and the Dawkins end to the show.

You continue to enhance my personal Nightwish journey with these wonderfully unlikely headfirst dives into their work, Your expertise and commitment to the cause (and your open mind!) are adding thrilling.new layers of detail to videos that I have probably seen hundreds of times already. And then you recreate their music in real-time on your keyboard before you've even heard the song through one full time, like it's nothing? Ridiculous. Keep flexing! A huge thanks for all that you do!

I’m so pleased your enjoying my Nightwish videos! One of my favourite things to do is discover new music and then immediately work it out on the piano so I’m glad that’s a fun moment for you to watch also ☺️ have a great day!

[@horsehollerer]

It’ really shows too. Just know that it’s always noticed and appreciated! Btw, I hate to break it to you, but when I saw NW perform this song a few weeks ago at a small venue in NYC, Marco was of course missing, so who do you think filled in for his wonderful vocal cameo at the end of the choruses?

You heard the piano intro one time and were able to reproduce it on your own. You seem to have a highly trained ear! I know it's not the most uncommon thing in this medium, at least in people who chose to publish their talents, but it's simply amazing to me.

I also need to know what makes "Bless the Child" (Wacken 2013) so appealing to me ?

At some point down the line, you'd enjoy Phantom of the Opera from End of an Era 2005, to hear Tarja and Marko both more prominent on vocals, and High Hopes and/or The Islander, to hear a Marko solo piece.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@Nina Schofield: I've always thought of Ever Dream as a song about falling in love. It's basically a person who is pursuing their love interest, and the lyrics are a question: "Do you ever dream of me?" Then you add in the drums, the piano, the guitar from Emppu, and then the drumming from Jukka. But it's the bridge that has always gotten me: I've never heard what sounds like "frantic desperation" from a drummer/vocalist duo before, like Jukka and Floor, as if the person doing the pursuing is becoming both frantic and desperate at the thought that they'll be rejected. Lastly, this is just another gem written by Tuomas, who has an uncanny ability and talent to take human emotion and translate it into music. It's why we love our "Metal Mozart," and why the only difference between metal and classical music is electricity.

[@andrelglinnenbank2856]

On Marko, he did participate in the Finnish Masked Singer TV program. And won. So if you want to see other aspects of him, you might watch those clips. It says something about the amount of talent in the band if the bassist and not the lead singer wins a (sort of) singing contest. There are a few songs, most notably The Islander in the Tampere show, where Floor is doing backing vocals for Marko.

Thanks for your analysis/reaction. Enjoyed it. I think Storytime from this same concert would be a great one for you to do next. Would to hear your analysis on her vocal gymnastics on that one.

[@OJB42]

It's a very dynamic song, starts quiet, goes up and down, then full-on at the end. Demonstrates everyone's skills really well.

[@ninaschofield]

[@travisnoffsinger1703]

Excellent reaction Nina! You should definitely check out “Song of Myself” by Nightwish next. (Also at Wacken Open Air 2013)

[@joeaoun5755]

You should react to nightwish : poet and the pendulum live with floor its amazing

Yet another great reaction

[@FelipeSaintJeanOfficial]

You could react to Ever Dream from End of an Era. In that version (original version) Marco used to sing in duet on the last chorus together with Tarja Turunen, the first singer of Nightwish.

[@danilolapierre5610]

Absolutely agree. Tarja's version of End of an Era is a great contrast in singing style by two talented female vocalists. Also, the emotions behind that version are incredible: Allegedly, Tuomas wrote this song for Tarja, and The End of an Era concert is the very last time Nightwish performed Ever Dream with Tarja which Tuomas (and the rest of the band) knew... but Tarja didn't.

@@danilolapierre5610 exactly!

[@brianalmeida1964]

Really enjoyed your reaction and analysis. As for what to do next? I think it's time for a little story. It's definitely Storytime! I'm in SE England and it's definitely hot!! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

[@NickBR57]

Marco is fantastic - see comment below from Cobinja. Plus Ghost River (Wacken); Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires and I Want My Tears Back from Buenos Aires. Song of Myself from this concert supplied my ringtone - Marco's second entry in that song is so breathtaking to me I had to extract it so I hear it whenever anyone calls me.

Thank you Nina ❤

Floor is a GREAT Storyteller. Her facial expressions are always so good… Love this Woman

[@mariopardillo8618]

Lovely reaction as always Nina! I'd vote for Song of Myself next. Stay cool and hydrated 🙂.
