I was in the crowd for this performance. There are only a handful of performances where I just stand unable to move and in complete awe, literal chills. That was the entire set. Floor was absolutely the best person who could fill Anette's and Tarja's shoes whilst adding something of her own. Her vocal range is incredible. Her work in After Forever is also well worth listening too. Also, it was her first tour with the band, she's never played to a crowd anywhere near that big before this. You can tell she's just loving it, I don't think her grin was from nailing it, but just the entire experience.

[@otacon1024]

11:37 I love how you say "she's extremely gifted", but then immediately follow it up with "she's worked hard, I can imagine". People like to throw around words like "talent" and "gift" when describing someone really skilled, and I never liked the implication that it was something "given" to them by birth or chance - it downplays the ungodly amount of time and passion they invested to get to that point. So massive props just for that :)

[@BucsFanO22]

@northern_lights I get what both of you are saying but to be honest, she is gifted. Hard word can only get you so far. No matter how much I practice and train, I will never be at that level. Sure I could be good or maybe even great, but only truly special people can honestly be THAT amazing. Gifted does not mean they didn't put in the work. Just saying. Floor is unreal.

[@otacon1024]

​@@BucsFanO22 That's another problem I have with the whole concept - that there's a specific plateau set by a specific skilled person that can't be reached. Of course, you'll never be Floor, because only Floor can ever be Floor. But you could have a comparable skill level in your own flavor, perhaps in a totally different skillset than singing. And I'm not saying "believing that you can means that you can", but "believing that you can't means that you can't". Believing the goal is unreachable from the start makes it shitty motivation to even try, which is if nothing else the first step to everything.

Floor Jansen first became known as a member of symphonic metal band After Forever, standing as their lead vocalist from 1997, when she joined at age 16, to their disbanding in 2009. When After Forever disbanded, she formed ReVamp and has released two albums with them. In 2012 following the departure of their lead vocalist Anette Olzon, Nightwish brought in Jansen as a touring member until the end of their Imaginaerum World Tour. In 2013, they announced Jansen was now their full-time lead vocalist; she subsequently disbanded ReVamp to focus on Nightwish Floor Jansen can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. She is a soprano. She started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. (straight from wiki) As a dutchman I am very proud of her success.

When you said "she knows she nailed it", what makes that even more impressive is that this was recorded not long after she'd taken over for the bands previous singer, mid tour no less.

After I saw your video, then I felt curious to check how do others would react to this video, in particular vocal coaches. I had to come back to express how professional you conducted this analysis, regardless how much this performance impressed you. The technical highlights are on point, you break it down perfectly. If I ever were to take singing classes, I think you'd be the only one to make a singer out of me, and I consider myself a lost case.

[@christomashofski9160]

@Bored philosopher ... I know what you mean. Perhaps the phrase you are searching for is that Nightwish + Tarja had a certain chemistry between them that produces MAGIC on the stage. Separate the chemistry, and each reagent is still great on its own, but the special magic is gone. Both suffered for having lost that magic. Not to say anything bad about Annette as many fans do (she is a very talented singer and two of Nightwish's best albums were those with Annette), but the stage magic was gone as they just did not share that unique chemistry. When Floor came on board, something clicked. She and NW have their own unique chemistry, different from Tarja's but magical nonetheless. I had the honor of meeting Floor last April. In my total available five seconds that I was able to shake hands, I said simply, "Thank you so much for bringing BACK the magic!" Nothing more, nothing less. I'm sure she knew what I meant, and it was pretty clear that she really appreciated that particular type of fan feedback.

[@DreamsRemorse]

You should listen to more with Floor but also their first singer Tarja. Maybe even do all three singers they've had, back to back to back, in one video and give opinions on them all.

I still get goosebumps EVERY TIME I hear Floor sing... it’s even better live ❤️

[@DarkSektori]

One of the best live singing performances I've ever seen. God Nightwish nailed it this night at Wacken, I saw them live way back when Tarja was still their singer and just for the record I love all 3 Nightwish vocalists, Tarja, Anette and Floor. Tarja had the straight powerful pure Opera Voice, Anette had a very bright and light Angelic voice and Floor I'm convinced pretty much can sing any style you throw at her. To have a vocal coach react to this is extra special because it's a professional analysis of the singing, the style the technique and the little things that casual observers might not understand. There's a reason why vocals are considered an instrument of their own because when used like this, it takes the whole song to a level above and beyond heights that the other Instruments just can't do, in my opinion anyway. I've been too countless concerts in my life an only 2 bands had that level of magic and majestic splendor that made the experience unforgettable. Nightwish and Blind Guardian.

[@josifaesatru3618]

I can't listen to this version of this song without tears in my eyes. I love Tarja, I love Anette, I ADORE Floor Jansen. She is, in my humble opinion, the best vocalist of the three Nightwish has had, and I cannot WAIT for the follow-up to "Endless Forms Most Beautiful"! Floor's power as a singer and performer is undeniable. She'll be one of those artists looked upon as one of the best of the best in years to come, as will the whole of Nightwish! ALSO, Rebecca, I love your videos! Your admiration for the singers you critique is so genuine, and your excitement is infectious. I find myself getting chills and being moved right alongside you, even though I've listened to this song hundreds of times. I virtually never comment on KZbin videos, but you and Floor inspired me to throw in my two cents. Keep being awesome!

Aye what separates Tarja and Floor is that Floor really nails the diversity in her voice, both have awesome voice but i think Floor pulls slightly ahead. Now what i really would like to see is small cameo with Saara Aalto, while she is mainly pop singer i think she could nail these opera like segments with Floor.

[@Tyacatt1977]

agree loved them both , but Floor def hit the gold in this

[@Klomster88]

I think one of the major reasons Tarja is so loved is that she was the original, many of the songs were written with her voice in mind and thus having another singer makes the sound odd to an extent. But that pales in comparrison to the feeling people get of "but that isn't Tarja, it doesn't sound the same." which creates a disconnect and a bad impression of the artist without realising. Like me. I heard this, the initial brain response was "meh, Tarja is better", which is a natural response, since this is the first time i hear this song not performed by Tarja. But looking past that (having a literal song coach pointing it out helps) i noticed her skill and passion for this. To claim Floor is bad is ludicracy, but i fully understand many (not all) who miss Tarja. Nostalgia and "correctness" are powerful feelings. Then there are those who hate on Annette and Floor, and that's not cool. Poor Annette though, her style was not suited to the old nightwish songs. But when i heard bye bye beautiful i thought it was great, really liked her singing. Which just proves that she isn't bad, but sudden change and nostalgia got the better of lots of people. And she got a lot of flak. Hopefully it seems the flak has subsided now. I for one is probably gonna keep enjoying my nightwish the way i first heard each song. Tarja for the old songs, Annette for bye bye and Floor for endless forms and the new stuff. Anyway, i rambled a bit.

[@Agnes135]

I also think Floor is better, it's rare indeed for bands to get a better singer than the original, especially when the singer was as good as Tarja. In fact I cannot think of a single one

For more aspects of her voice, if you will be willing to react, try Poet and the Pendulum (Live from Wembley) and after that Yours is an empty hope (live from Nightwish Cruise on Baltic Princess). And no, you still won't know every single area of her voice, but you will get the idea. You will bee much closer to it. :)

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@zdenekdolezal9646 (incoming wall of text, sorry; clear your schedule to read all the way through, but I really didn't mean to write a dissertation) Really? I had thought that Tuomas actually wrote for Tarja's voice to begin with, which is how Nightwish began in the first place. I could easily be wrong, of course. My theory is that people disliked Annette so much as a replacement because she had a COMPLETELY different voice than Tarja and could never sing anything like the original queen did. There's just such a HUGE difference between Operatic vocals and Pop vocals. But Floor can do it all (except, obviously, for sounding EXACTLY like Tarja; NOBODY can do that but Tarja, she's completely unique and I ADORE her). Tuomas had to start writing for a different voice for Annette, which changed the entire sound of Nightwish. That further complicates matters as far as who the favorite singer is among a now divided fanbase. And these days, since Floor can do it all, Tuomas can almost bring it back to the original sound for the band. They are still AMAZING and they have rolled with the punches as well as could be expected by any standard. OBVIOUSLY, it's 'just not the same', but neither is the rest of the band these days.

[@zdenekdolezal9646]

James Curfman As I said, i think he didn't. It may not be true, but it seems to me like that. He probably did first three albums for her. But on Century Child and Once those songs live definitely did not suited her as good as from previous albums. And Dark Passion Play I belive he had a lot of songs done before they choosed Anette. He probably went little closer to her voice capabilities on Imaginerum. With Floor's EFMB album she said, she tried a lot of voice versions in those songs and they decided how it sounded them best. And last thing: Neither Tarja nor Anette rehelsals all way with band before they went to studio. They just tried them once in the end of their sessions (last week or two) .Floor is first one that rehelsals those songh from day one. But he definitely didn't on purpose wrote anything that he knew, they woulndn't be able to sing. Sadly Anette live was in the end terrible in almost all of songs. In the begining, whe she get that hate, she actualy wasn't bad at all. Tarja was excelen on her first years too, lately she get wort too. Floor nowadays is capeble to do almost anything. And if she is not, she changes it to suited her better. Let's hope it will last.
