Tarja and Floor are two uniquely different performers. I adore them both equally. Marko compliments both so well .

[@uaputte]

Yes thay are best in ther one way and both variations the 2 voises merge so good!

[@snesguy9176]

They're so unique I think they should have just started a new band. New nightwish is great, but tarja just defined nightwish for me so idk.

Tarjas voice is as clean and sharp as a sliver of glass. ❤

[@Green-Lyon]

Three winners! Watching Floor & Henk perform their long-awaited Nightwish duet after only about a month since Floor's cancer surgery made that performance even more special.

[@Ounouh]

Marko's versio of the Phantom is sinister giving a feeling of "if I can't have you, no one will" as he is not asking Tarja to sing to her, but to scream while being tortured.

[@chriso6719]

Storytime is your first song from the 2nd lead singer ,Anette Olzon, era. Anette has more of a pop/rock style, but didn't do operatic vocals. That operatic part was done by a choir then. Floor can, so she took over those parts herself. Tuomas ( keyboards and primary songwriter) likes themes of stories and childhood innocence. Stroytime here, was song #6 in a 15 song set. Yes , original lead singer Tarja Turunen. Your pronunciation of Tarja is pretty good. She is the most operatic. She's awesome in this, and Marko kills it too. Andrew Lloyd Weber loved this version of Phantom as well. The performance is from the 2005 concert in Helsinki (End of an Era DVD). It was Tarja's last Nightwish show, although she didn't know it,. After the concert , the guys gave her the open letter dismissing her from the band after 9 years and 5 albums. She has gone on to a long and successful solo career. Henk Poort is a Dutch stage performer, he has played the Phantom many times. Floor and Henk first performed this together in on the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers. He agreed to that if he could join Nightwish to perform it in The Netherlands. They finally got to do it this past fall , after postponements due to Covid restrictions. Nightwish didn't think they would ever perform it again after the Tarja and Marko version you watched, until Floor made the promise. You don't need to pick, you can watch and enjoy both. lol

[@jeffreysouthgate9834]

absolutely - no need to pick. both outstanding.

[@johanmelv0gue595]

my favorite albums are those of anette olzon, in fact they are the best sellers, although many fans criticized her very unfairly, even though my favorite singer of all "nighwish" is "FLOOR", I can't stop loving "anette" , for their 2 wonderful albums, in which "floor" interpreted them in 2013 in a spectacular way

[@phonemyatmin5351]

Clearly You have never seen Anette singing opera. Search it. It's on KZbin

[@gtaonline-oldgiga7729]

@@johanmelv0gue595 Well Anette had range limitations so basically she couldnt fit in Floor or Tarja, I also think the error was Tuomas' as he should have made a more suitable choice, Anette did nothing wrong, she did what she could basically and she still holds the title for best performance in Scarytale. I take this opportunity to also wish Anette the best in her nurse career, which she is now having. :D

[@MilaMan]

Many Nightwish reactors forget who is Nightwish. Tarja Turunen nor Floor Jansen is not Nightwish. Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) is Nightwish writing and composing Nightwish songs. Of course this song is cover but made Nightwish style by Tuomas.

[@ristohyvarinen8448]

Hi Jami, since you like Marko's singing, you could react to Nightwish version of "High hopes" , "Islander" at Tampere 2015 or perhaps "Kiss when your lips are still red" at Wembley. Second leading singer Anette Olzon in "Amaranth" is also worth checking out. "Wishmaster" (live) with Tarja Turunen. Which ever the NW song you choose is a good choise, you can't go wrong. By the way, you pronounced Tarja's name correctly. It wasso nice to see your enthusiastic reaction. See you with NW.

[@Assel55]

Oh yes please, do High Hopes from Nightwish. You‘ll not regret 🔥

They exist. They are (apparently) humans that live among us. The fact that most of them were born in the same part of the world, let alone the same town, is incredible. Once again proving that Finland is to music what Greece is to philosophy and engineering. Maybe someday we'll see Marko and Floor performing this song together 🙏 Congrats on 10k!

[@merileopardisaksassa7030]

Marko is an absolute treasure in Finland! He is a godfather of metal who helped make Finland the most metal country in the world by far with his own band Tarot back in the day where he sang lead (measured by metal bands percapita). He is featured, usually first or last, on basically every video celebrating Finnish metal eg. Tuska Anniversary Medley or the Hevisaurus (children's metal band) song 100. While he unfortunately left Nightwish due to personal health reasons recently he still participated in Raskasta Joulua (*Heavy Christmas* a Finnish musical collective who make Christmas metal travel tour the country in December yearly), did performances with the incredible Northern Kings (4 metal legendary singers singing doing covers together)! Look up any performance with him and you'll be amazed at his beautiful, versatile vocal talent! A wonderful start is Ave Maria at Raskasta joulua with Floor Janson, all the recordings are very good

Amazing reaction to these incredible performances. Storytime is so uplifting and joyful. It literally brings tears of joy to my eyes. I love both Nightwish versions of Phantom of the Opera. The early one with Tarja and Marko is a truly epic moment in Nightwish history. The one with Floor was amazing too and was a surprise after Floor´s brothers in arms agreed to fulfil a promise Floor had made with Henk that he would be able to sing it at the Holland shows. It would have been such a treat to be there that night. Nightwish is the most amazing band I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Enjoy!!

[@lychantroop]

for me, definetly Tarja version for phantom. both great fo course...but Tarja is something special

[@chadjenkins4876]

For the most part I feel that Floor holds her own, but there's something special about Tarja's phantom

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@Jami Nunes: Just think: Not only is Floor able to sing like that for 90 minutes, but she sang like this after learning the entire setlist in 48 hours. Literally, in 2 days, Floor went from Europe to Salt Lake City, Utah, US, joined the band mid-tour, learned the setlist in 2 days, and of all things, was afraid of her burn-out affecting her on-stage performances. Then, in Buenos Aires in 2012, she sang Ghost Love Score, and the South American fans welcomed her with open arms. If you get the chance, react to Ghost Love Score, Buenos Aires, 2012, and you'll see what I mean -- and you'll see how much passion Floor threw into her performance. In some ways, despite being a rougher performance, Buenos Aires 2012 is just as good as Wacken.

[@nicholew350]

She didn’t learn the entire Setlist on 48 hours. Toumas had already made plans with her to take over the end of the tour for Annette months prior. The title of documentary is a bit misleading, but fans at the time had already heard of her taking over at the end of the tour.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@@nicholew350 : Actually, she did -- and says as much in the documentary. Literally, Tuomas called Floor at her sister's wedding, for which she refused (for obvious reasons). The very next week, on a Friday, she flew from the Netherlands to Salt Lake City, joined the band, and from Salt Lake City to San Francisco, California, over the two days she had on the bus, she learned the setlist. The fans actually didn't find anything out until the very end of the tour, and even then, it was unknown if Floor was going to stay or not, given some of the remarks Marko made at the last or second-to-last show of the tour. Despite Floor being unsure of her burnout less than 3 months prior to joining Nightwish, and how it would affect her singing, Floor still went ahead and completed the 2012/2013 tour. At the same point, the title of the documentary isn't misleading, when that actually happened. If you don't believe me, go watch the documentary yourself, because it's in there. Edit: And actually, Tuomas only made plans for Floor to take over once Annette got sick and couldn't perform. Why do you think the Denver Debaucle happened, where Elize Ryd of Amaranthe had to step in, along with Alyssa White-Gluz? Floor taking over for Annette wasn't planned by Tuomas, by any stretch. Now, it is true that Tuomas originally wanted Floor to become Nightwish's vocalist after the stuff with Tarja in 2005 -- but Floor refused, given her own stuff with After Forever or Revamp at the time (I'm not sure which band Floor was singing for in 2005). That's why Nightwish even hired Annette to be the lead singer to begin with. But as for what happened in 2012, none of that was planned. And it also didn't help that Annette was also pregnant at the time as well. It just so happened that Annette caught a fever so bad that she ended up having to go to the hospital in Salt Lake City, at which point Nightwish had to scramble to meet the obligations of their shows -- hence, the Denver Debaucle. Floor, I believe, was contacted by Tuomas while they were still in Salt Lake when she flew to the States, but I believe she ended up actually going to Denver to meet the band after that show. It was still a two-day bus ride from Denver to San Francisco -- which is when Floor learned the setlist from beginning to end, from a vocalist POV.

[@nicholew350]

@@isaiahwelch8066 It was pre-planned for Floor to finish the end of the tour while Annette had her baby. It was supposed to be temporary. There are many interviews you can read about this, and some you can watch with Annette. Even an interview where Floor discusses it. It just so happened that Annette got sick and Floor ended up having to start earlier than expected. Yes, fans did know that Annette couldn’t finish the tour. Annette knew Floor was going to fill in for her. It was actually a big debacle between Annette and the band. She wanted them to cancel the tour instead of having Floor fill in for her. Annette auditioned to be in NW, just like everyone else. She won, and became the lead singer. I think 2,000 people auditioned.

[@nicholew350]

@@isaiahwelch8066 Toumas never asked Floor to join NW after they fired Tarja. He has said as much.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@@nicholew350 : Not from what I remember watching. Tuomas basically said, after Tarja was fired, that his first choice to replace Tarja was Floor. But he never got around to formally actually asking Floor until 2012. As for Annette being replaced, what you're talking about is the first I've heard of this -- and I've seen a lot of the stuff from back then. At no point did I ever watch nor read anything about Annette being replaced by Floor being pre-planned, and that Annette getting sick accelerating those plans. Everything I've ever read and heard has the context and implication that it wasn't planned until it happened. And when it did happen, the band had to scramble to find a singer for the Denver show -- hence having Elize and Alyssa sing for their Denver show in 2012.

Hello I have some info on Floor Jansen for you here. She is married to Hannes Van Dahl, drummer of the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. Together they have a daughter. ( Freja ) Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6). Re-singing style ranges from opera to screams and grunts. She usually sings in English, in addition she has also sung songs in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish. Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Storytime. The look on your face a few times says it all, because I'm right there with you. This is far and away my favorite Nightwish song, and my favorite performance of it. I love other songs by them too - sometimes some of them more - but I always come back to this one. I love the chorus - it is so beautiful. I love the middle section, when she goes full classical. And then that ride to the end is unbelievable. Also, the looks on everyone's faces there. Everyone on stage, the crazy crowd engagement, the three girls at the end having the times of their lives. What an amazing performance. Floor's voice and range of styles in this one is amazing too. I'd suggest Nemo from Wacken 2013. It's such an underappreciated song, as it is one of their radio songs, but the second half of that song gets me sort of emotional for some reason. Check it out for sure on your time if not for a reaction. Thanks for doing this one! I'll edit the comment to reply about Phantom. Phantom. Tarja's version with Marko will forever be my favorite version of that song. It has the instrumental bite that I always felt the Broadway version wanted, but couldn't do, and Tarja and Marko's voices are just perfect - especially together. The look on your face - again - said it all. More Nightwish reactions please. I really enjoy your Nightwish reactions - and cover(s)!

[@Beatz-he5xe]

The band is the best in its genre…and Floor…she really is one of a kind!!🤘🤘

[@Vitoria.3]

Tarja is better

[@jeppydcg2000]

There is a fan made version of phantom of the Opera with floor and Marco. It's a meld of two videos where the main audio is from the tarja video, but her part is taken out and replaced with floor audio from other video. You see floor when she is singing.

🤩👌💥💯🎼 Beatifully done Jami... There's a couple of new tracks for you to cover by your own... ✌️😹 Yes indeed this magical band is tight AF on stage... Day after day, from month to another, year by year... Cheers from Finland 🥶 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

[@wesleymartin1554]

It was Tarja's last performance with Nightwish. It's not only the vocal matches between Marko and Tarja, but the small interactions and at the end the way Marko seems to be pushing Tarja to ever higher notes. It was the perfect match. Make dreams come through, now both are away from Nightwish, Tarja and Marko should perform together again.

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

I love watching singers watching Floor. Especially the face when Floor does the power notes that seem to be incidental, but only a singer realizes just HOW bloody awesome and difficult what she is doing is.

[@NeilOosthuizen]

The original version of Phantom with Floor and Henk (non Nightwish) from Beste Zangers will always have a special place in my heart.

[@FromG2eminor]

I love this band!! Phantom is how I first of them decades ago. Rediscovered last summer with Floor. I need a dose of NW every day!! Story Time is one I need daily. Song of Myself is my top favorite.

[@Ati-MarcusS]

isn´t this the greatest Phantom of the Opera you ever heared ? both are excellent Singers Marko and Tarja

[@randalladams7692]

It's not fair she's not from this planet she is an angel and the queen she's put heret to sing they both kick ass my fav is with marko

[@peterleblanc4727]

Big Nightwish fan here... When you are ready to check out some of their more epic performances check out The Poet and the Pendulum (live from Webley 2016) and also The Greatest Show On Earth (TAMPERE, 2015). I am also a huge fan of Romantacide (official live video) and Song of myself (Wacken 2013). They to me are one of the best live bands of all time! Enjoy the Journey...

[@albertbergquist2113]

Hank, in the last part, was the singer of the Dutch dub of Phanton of the Opera.

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

if you really want hard dark spell-binding Tarja (and Marko too) with Nightwish: (even some rocking on invisible guitar, head windmills, and etc theatrics too) (remember, the concerts/albums/covers must be before 2006, for Tarja's performances) (not ranked, just listed) 1. Slaying the Dreamer 2. Planet Hell 3. Wishmaster 4. Kinslayer 5. Ghost Love Score 6. The Siren 7. End of All Hope 8. Dead to the World 9. 10th Man Down --------------------------------- Nightwish's 3 singers: 1. Tarja (original singer): 1995 to 2005 2. Annette: 2006 to 2012 3. Floor (current singer): 2013 to 2020+ everyone knows Floor, she's super popular with everyone, especially right now, and is a really good singer, having a huge variety of singing capability (pop, classical/opera, belting, growling/raspy), able to sing nightwish's old songs that were for Tarja's classical/opera singing, as well as new songs for her own variety/range of singing abilities Unfortunately for Annette, she's a pop/rock singer, and a very good singer too, but her pop/rock singing just didn't go that well with nightwish's music, which was made for Tarja's dark classical/opera singing. So, usually, she gets left out. so, it comes down to "Targasm” (Tarja) vs “Floorgasm” (Floor) in terms of the Nightwish singers in who you like most, if you like classical/opera singing better, Tarja is better at it, but that's all she does back when with nightwish, as nightwish was created for tarja's unique dark operatic singing/voice, (now with her own band, or solo, she does a greater range of singing), but she does it really well, she's really got a beautiful voice, if you like more pop singing, belting and growling/raspy, with or without classical/opera singing, than you like Floor better I knew nightwish from the early 2000s, so Nightwish will always be with Tarja, but Nightwish with Floor is really good too, but it's Tarja, who's my favorite singer with nightwish (many others will help you out with Floor's songs, so I'll just stick to Tarja's songs here) ---------- if you do like Tarja with nightwish, here's some good ones: (just make sure the song performances are before 2006, else it's not tarja who is singing) (NOT ranked, just listed) 1. End of an Era (her last concert with nightwish, hard to find good quality and the entire concert, as it gets taken down) 2. Phantom of the Opera (her duet with Marco, really good, both of them together, this song was actually used in the Phantom of the Opera remake movie in 2004) 3. Wishmaster 4. Planet Hell (marco sings in this song as well) 5. End of All Hope 6. Dead Boy's Poem 7. Nemo (watch the official music video and also her live performance of it) 8. Kinslayer 9. she is my sin 10. wish I had an angel 11. slaying the dreamer 12. the siren 13. dead to the world 14. 10th man down 15. walking in the air 16. ghost love score 17. dark chest of wonders 18. bless the child and many more too ------ this is about the 'phantom of the opera' with tarja nightwish, but it applies to tarja for all other NW songs too: Tarja has her own stage performance/presence, but the focus is on the entire band (much more respectful), unlike with floor, where the focus is almost entirely on her, and also, Phantom of the Opera isn't about that much showmanship, so you're not seeing more of Tarja's performance/presence (love how the camera work and Tarja worked together, with her ducking down, seeing Marcus as he delivered his singing, and then Tarja stands back up, seeing her face back in the camera as Marco's part ends and hers begins again, Tarja is really such a team player, as she could have had all the focus upon herself, like Floor gets, but instead she chooses to give the entire band the respect and focus that they too deserve, it's not all about Tarja, like it is with Floor, despite how good Tarja is and thus how she could be the entire focus with nightwish, as is Floor with nightwish) there's other songs, where Tarja was way way way more stage performance/presence/showmanship, including hair windmills, rocking an invisible guitar along with empuu rocking his guitar, along with her doing her squatting too as she sings and taps her foot/leg to it, as she's swinging those hips too, along with her getting the crowd involved as well too, and etc stuff, you got to watch way more songs, to really see her amazing stage presence/performance and showmanship, as Phantom of the Opera is likely the one song with the least of that stuff, due to the nature of the song itself, being about their singing (contrasting and then cacophonous harmonous duet, nothing can compete with Tarja and Marco voices duet'ing), though Marco and Tarja had a bit of showmanship and fun snuck into it, with Marco pointing to his face and Tarja's facial expression reactions, while both song their parts

[@Max_Griswald]

You forgot Sleeping Sun, which is the best song Nightwish ever recorded.

[@user-sk3bx4fe4p]

Tarja and Marko the best version Phantom of the Opera of all times

[@henriklindberg1646]

love the bird haha

[@ThisIsWar734]

With Tarja... That was Fall, Helsinki, Finland 2005, "End of an Era" Tour concert. I was 18 then, I'm now 37. This was the last time we heard the Siren, the Viking, the Pirate, the Vampire & the Zombie all perform together. I'll never forget it... Cheers from Portland, OR! 😎🍻

[@NightwishArena]

Floor and Henk did great version, but for me there is no even comparison. Everything about the old version is better IMO. Marko's metal vocals are incredible, and Tarja has more projection on her opera voice, plus the whole sound of the band was better. Can't wait to see more NW reactions from you.

[@mardroidmk1393]

Agreed. I love Floor, and her version with Henk is good, but I love the energy of the Tarja/Marko version.

[@damienmaynard8892]

You appeared to think "Floor did not just do that!" many times but she did! LIVE! 15 songs at that gig at Wacken. Yes, Tar-ya and Marko! Marko rocks! A beastly Phantom! Henk was a hero of Floor's - so she really loved this performance. He was the Dutch Phantom for years.

[@yksvaan1690]

I wish Anette gets a chance to do this. The the dilemma would be perfect and complete.

[@IdiotPosterBoy]

Marko used to be the lead singer of a band (Tarot) and here it gets a chance to use his pipes. For the more awesome Marko +Nightwish, try the Pink Floyd tribute High Hopes.

[@user-xj7bt7op2q]

you're just so lovely :) keep up!

[@Kanas83]

Poet and the Pendulum, The Greatest Show on Earth

[@ieradossantos]

4:09 Little birdy couldn't believe it either

[@leftyme4568]

Marco was so badass....We will miss him forever.

[@williamhall9524]

Marko is the best Phantom he sings while smashing the bass.Would have loved him & Floor doing it together.

[@darklady6987]

thanx for the reaction.

[@markclements7767]

Hello lovely Jami, greetings from UK 😊 I LOVED your rendition of Ever Dream and I am looking forward to your cover of Storytime (including wind milling your hair!) 😁 The link below is my favourite Floor and Henk version of The Phantom Of The Opera. It was the first time they performed it, and it was in a much more intimate setting for a Dutch TV program called 'Beste Zangers' (best singers). kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp2mhJagq6mCgK8

[@christopheleroy9568]

Nice reaction from a voice lover, by the the way i like your cover of everdream especially the way you belt, crystal clear and it's not an easy song....I prefer the second version, cause i m so crazy about floor's voice....My god this last note from floor

[@RaptorMk2]

Everyone always argue between Tarja and Floor and which one's better, but let's be real: Marko was Nightwish's best singer. He's fantastic, unique, and makes everything better. Personally, I absolutely love his solo work with Tarot, his covers with The Northern Kings, and I adore him with Charlotte in Delain.
