[@petervanloon7308]

I can imagine the speed thing you couldn't know but there are always fantastic engaged fans to point it out. Also for me to learn. Thanks for this serious reaction like a real voice teacher. To often its faked. Yours definatley not. I liked it. That minor thing at the end.. we can all learn and do better the next time. Its such a moment...in the song. Ah, Marco and Floor!😢

[@SingingwithLauren]

@@petervanloon7308 Thank you peter! yes i have no idea what happened with the speed I used a link someone suggested so who knows 😅😅

[@NetAndyCz]

@@SingingwithLauren Yeah, some people suggest the first thing that search engine provides them... and it is not always right. Not your fault, sadly there are many uploads at wrong speed or missing the ending, and obviously you cannot know that if you hear it the first time.

[@musicfan9291]

FYI. From the sound of the video you are watching it would appear that you have a version that is played back at a slower speed. Since the low speed the pitch is also off a bit. Here is the link for the correct speed, kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKvCaIJ5eLafjtU

[@paulmarsh4079]

I thought that too....something not quite right about it.

[@PittDaddy]

Isn't it amazing that so many of us are familiar enough with this video to notice the pitch difference?

[@jord001]

Yepp you get used to how it should sound. Probably because we've heard it so many times lol :)

[@musicfan9291]

@@jord001 Agree. like with Storytime.....I have listened to the Wacken show so many times, whenever I listen to the studio with Anette or other live shows the kite is always soaring and not silent.

[@Teunstah]

Had to stop watching because of this...

[@mraijmann59]

The sound is too slow, the blue ray version is too slow. The dvd version is the correct speed.

[@scottsmith4933]

Yup, blue ray problem.

[@jp16k92]

Speed is wrong on this version.

[@Adyrli]

Yes, its too low!

[@shspurs1342]

Yes for some reason people post songs that are slower. The whole thing sounds like it’s 1.25 seconds to slow.

[@adlicious100]

Great reaction Laura ....though iam pretty sure you will like the original speed version more so check it out 4 yourself ✌💥💎....Greatings from Holland to USA y'all Lauren 💜🇭🇺🇺🇸🌴🙏🏼

[@robinbraamhorst1410]

Hello lauren! , thanks for the great reaction! You could also check out some of floors personal stuff like on the show " beste zangers" like 'shallow" or "mamma" or " winner" to name a few! Or some acoustic stuff like " how's the heart" with planet rock. Or some slower stuff with nightwish " dead boys poem" Take your pic and you won't be disapointed!!!

[@SingingwithLauren]

Thanks for the suggestions Robin!!

[@pavelsuvorov5036]

Hello lovely Lauren!Nightwish is one of the best bands of our time!Thank you dear.Great reaction!🌹🔥🇷🇺

[@seannightingale3571]

The Metal Gods looked down from the Heavens and spoke these words to all of mankind. We have blessed you on this day of 02/21/1981 ( Floor’s Birthday) an Angel of Metal and she will be known as Floor Jansen. Also known as the Queen of Metal or the Valkyrie Goddess.🌎🌙

[@TheMightyOdin]

You’re welcome.

[@Thorgrim247]

Great to see you again Lauren. Marko did have throat surgery several years ago. He had to relearn how to sing and has lost some of his high end. I think he has learned how to sing in a more healthy way after his surgery. Great commentary and analysis Lauren. Be well. Hope to see you again very soon. Best wishes with your upcoming move. 🙏

[@ralfmeyer9086]

Wow, what a great and professionell reaction. 🤘👍greetings from northern Germany.

[@koserkm]

Yes this is the slow version. If you know the song it completely scrambles your brain.

[@skeezesmith7954]

I don’t think your reaction and the video were in sync. You commented on the notes Floor was hitting during “hang me high” before she sang that line. It also looked like you cut off her slide at the end, but I think you heard the whole thing as you described the D6 before she hit it in the video. Very nice reaction though. 😀

[@CCEDE73]

I think the most surprising is how deep she can sing. There are not many sopranos who can also sing so deeply and probably not many who can growl :-)

[@jcd57]

Your not only educating singers but also listeners like me. This makes me even love and appreciate the performances more, even when I have heard the songs multiple times already. please keep doing this on Nightwish and Floor. Btw she has her own fanspace now. FloorWorld.

[@mdudley52]

Marko won the masked singer in Finland last year

[@tommyjohnson9175]

I think you got a slowed down version of this video. People tried some encoding tricks on some of their Wacken videos to make try to make them HD, problem is it slowed the video down a few percent. Hard to tell on a first listen, but noticeable when you have listened to it at the correct speed.

[@NightwishArena]

Well, the original Bluray was f'd up, so that is why most 1080P, and all 4K and 8K videos have been slowed down. This is the best quality in YT (FullHD and correct speed): kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXLapa2fbLZmeM0

[@PatrickVanDijk_NL]

@@NightwishArena This version sounds even much slower than the BluRay.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Welcome back Lauren. Great reaction to this powerhouse of a performance. ⛄👍

[@roy19491]

if no one has mentioned it, Floor stands 6 feet, 1.5 inches tall in bare feet, and she's wearing 5 inch heels here.....

[@jarkkoaaltonen7137]

Hi Lauren, floor is a phenomenal singer, listen to songs such as the Greatest show on the Earth, The Poet and the Pendulum or Ghost love score, a version from Buenos Aires, Argentina .... you will be excited and I look forward to your reactions. ..

[@rnowak85]

Glad to see you back reacting to Nightwish. Really enjoy your analysis. Having no musical education beyond elementary school so I truly appreciate knowledgeable people sharing their insight and expertise. Highly recommend you react to some of the videos' Floor has released on her channel of her solo show from September. My favorite song she sings is Sweet Curse which was a song from her second band ReVamp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooabmmWfaNtrg7M. For more Nightwish recommend Song of Myself from Waken or Dead Boy's Poem from Buenos Aries. There are several Nightwish songs where Marko takes the lead. My favorites are While Your Lips are Still Red live from Wembley and The Islander live from Tampere.

[@Djekkie-gj7jz]

This is to slowwwwww. The original is faster... It'sounds like the handbrake is still on.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

As a vocalist do you think the best time to pause in a song of yours is right in the middle of a note?

[@lubomirlecbych1914]

I like your comments

[@sewthuis9659]

wow thats long ago sweety hope ur fine

[@koch75ify]

🇫🇮😊 Marko has started the early 1980 band Tarot and both Kai and the new bassist Jukka have played in the band Wintersun before. Here are a few recommendations that are definitely worth a look. Tarot, Tides live and Wintersun, Time live rehersal at Sonic pump studio.

[@JoeBizzle]

You stay home and watch videos of the rest of us having a great time at concerts.

[@frankramakers]

A great recation.

[@amygoodson-catlady]

You have yet to discover the extent of Marko's vocal talents...here's some good stuff: Nightwish The Islander live at Tampere 2016, High Hopes (End of an Era live 2005), Tides by Tarot, Marko's first band (this performance will impress you), Stones and Voice of My Father, singles from his latest solo project Pyre of the Black Heart (also recorded in Finnish). And several recent collaborations, all top notch! Marko delivers a strong vocal flexibility.

[@paisa20]

Thanks so much

[@matthiaskellner8942]

Queen to D6, checkmate. 🤯

[@JoeBizzle]

You really need to critique Floor's technique in "Yours is an empty hope" live at Wembley

[@Zdune1]

you are nice in your reaction...love it

[@danielgarri30]

Great reaction!!! It never gets old watching a new vocal coach being floored by Floor!😅

[@ikkeschopkont]

Great to hear from again. It's weird to hear this song so slow 😅

[@scottsmith4933]

Blue ray version is a bit slow.

[@shspurs1342]

Someone must have sent her the wrong version. Because it sounds like someone has posted a video that sounds about 1.25 seconds to slow. The music is definitely to slow. It doesn’t even sound watchable/Listenable.

[@DrumsAndGadgets]

Thanks for the reaction! You should check song called "the Devil and The Deep Dark Ocean, live at Buenos Aires". It's Marco & Floor duel...

[@cheapskatecoins5709]

I would recommend doing a Re-reaction to this on on a video that is at the proper speed, whatever version your using is playing at the wrong speed.

[@TedinCalgary1952]

Thanks very much Lauren for getting back to Floor and Nightwish. I did a quick WORD search of all your uploads (298 to date) -- and found 3 other Nightwish reviews: "I Want My Tears Back", "Storytime", and "Ghost Love Score", but no Floor solo reviews. I feel that this particular song, "Romanticide", is best for some of us (like me) who are the "headbanger" type (Black Sabbath, Metallica, etc.), but is not the best for someone who wants to illustrate Floor's vocal talents. Perhaps I'm wrong, but vocally it seems simple compared to some of her other Nightwish performances. I feel the best song to illustrate Floor's vocal range and technique would be "The Poet and the Pendulum", at kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3bdi4WDqc2bjrc (with lyrics). She combines powerful belting with some very delicate high head voice sections, in Part 3: "The Pacific", and Part 5: "Mother and Father (it is a song in 5 parts). Generally, however, don't feel afraid to review Floor's solo efforts. She is currently releasing clips from her recent Amsterdam solo concert; some of those are not bad, although many of us still prefer the Beste Zangers performances (see, e.g., the comments by Barry Jamison in this post. I would second his recommendations. Also Robin Braamhorst, below. Thanks Robin!). Hope you are happy and doing well in California. Good luck with that next move!

[@johnveerkamp1501]

OKE !

[@clivematthews5296]

Love this song but it seems a little slow. Highest note she hits near the end is D6 and it sounded lower. As far as subtitles are concerned it says ode of lies and should be OD (overdose) of lies.

[@OJB42]

Yeah, this is a cool song, not so much for the vocals (although they are always great) but for the hard rock style and guitar. Thanks for your reaction!

[@digitalmouse3314]

Oh my god Metal concerts are the safest concerts to go to many more deaths at other types of shows actually, metal heads are super nice people stats even show that all research come back they are crazy friendly and open mined usually not 100% but 11 percent mental health rate only.

[@digitalmouse3314]

long story but going to court aginst my dad and his evidence is I listen to metal therfore I am crazy lol, not even good evidence period but shut him down entirely.

[@jeffreygreer]

hey lauren welcome to cali, if you want to hear marko wail checkout the poet and the pendulem live at wembly, a 5 part masterpiece, a few things about cali, never swim in the ocean there are real life jaws out there, besides the beaches and yosemite we have the most amazing deserts, there's joshua tree national park, the mojave preserve, and god's masterpiece deathvalley national park, our parks are 30 bucks to get in but worth it the nightsky at DVNP is amazing especially when the cellestrial and terrestrial lights hit, seeing that nightsky totally resets your whole mindset its a spiritual and emotional experince, being in deathvalley and our desert's is better than weed for depression, hopefully the coachella open air festival gets nightwish to play and i believe they are playing the wiltern theatre in LA soon its a smaller theatre on wilshire and western blvds

[@Dmitriy88S]

slowed version?

[@christinaalgate4899]

Marco had to relearn how to sing when his throat surgery had a misshap

[@tommcgrath8977]

I'd love to hear you react to "Ever Dream" from the same concert (kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6iqhHR8ltd7iMk) because Marco does some great voice work there as well as his harmonizing w/Floor. I once heard a music teacher declare in a reaction that he felt Marco could hold his own with opera ("....& opera singers aren't play bass at the same time...." said this reactor) so it'd be fun to hear what you think.

How could you pause in the best part??😱

[@ooO0VicariouS0Ooo]

Pausing in the middle of this scream???!!! I'm so sad.... :'(

[@geertdelange4785]

NIGHTWISH AND MEGADETH?? 🔥 MARCO SINGING HEAVY SOLO? 🤘🏻 My suggestion is another cover of them, which we HARDLY see on KZbin.🇳🇱 And if you like a HEAVY Nightwish sound, this will be a very nice one! 🔥🤘🏻😎 Marco is singing solo on this one. Check out their cover of Megadeth, symphony of destruction. AND A HEAVY SIREN FLOOR & MARCO? The second also hardly on KZbin, is a heavy Siren, The Siren performed live of course by Floor Jansen, and also again a very good singing Marco🔥❤️🤘🏻 Enjoy it, and I with you!

[@jc4566]

Hey, try Floor Jansen Revamp song wildcard live show, awesome thanks requesting 😎

[@brandonwilliams8268]

You should hear Marko sing Master passion greed.

[@alleninfinity6730]

I hate to be negative, because you seem like the sweetest person ever, but yes this one is very slowed down. I am not jumping you for it, just pointing it out. I like your analysis and reactions to Nightwish, but I could not listen to this slowed down like 10-15%.

[@Klojum]

This version is running at the slower botched up bluray speed... 🙃 If you gonna use videos from the Wacken 2013 concert, use this video with the correct speed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXLapa2fbLZmeM0 And, eh.. stopping the video while Floor's and Marko's voices are still climbing is a bit rude IMO.

[@skeezesmith7954]

I think her reaction was out of sync with the video.

[@donepearce]

I like girls with such a huge sense of humour

[@DANIEL-nf5nb]

The video is slow, this is not the correct speed, so you can't get a correct reaction, look for another video or check your pc

[@MatusHorecny]

Great video, thank you. Please do stop to react. We want to hear what you think about the song parts, if someone wants to listen to full song thay will do it on their own. And please use songs from nightwish official yt channel, so you don't have to worry about right version of song. Great reactions, please continue 😀

The other 'sing singer' is hardly mentioned and again underestimated.

[@luisnunes3863]

Well, Lauren, when you want to check out male singers in the metal sphere, start with Dio (RIP), Holy Diver kzbin.info/www/bejne/moCapXWbg62Lr6c or with Michael Kiske and Andi Deris of Helloween, Halloween. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHK5lnpqgLhjgK8 There are many singers in this genre with very long careers, still performing at a very high level, Rob Halford and Eric Adams past 70. Bruce Dickinson in his mid 60's. Hansi Kürsch and Michael Kiske in their 50's. Many more, metalheads don't throw away their idols lightly.

The song sounds completely off on this slowed down version My brain kept popping errors I hope you listen to the actual speed version sound much better

[@shspurs1342]

Your correct. The whole thing sounds about 1.25 seconds to slow. For some reason there’s a trend on KZbin with people posting songs that have been slowed down.

[@NetAndyCz]

@@shspurs1342 Because people take 25 fps source video and rip it at 24 fps (I guess because it is the default in their software?) It is rather annoying, especially for music because it changes it a lot.

Jears... Is that the newest Dutch spelling of "years" ? Also, using uppercase text only is considered shouting, and rude, as per Internet standards.

[@martin.w3707]

Pause?, Jeez

[@sirreptitious6645]

High F not F#. I Listened to the correct speed mentioned in another post and it is definitely an F. This slower version results in a flat F so it’s hard to hear the actual pitch.

[@PittDaddy]

Hi Lauren. Love your analysis. For another stunning vocalist, may I recommend listening to the band Epica with Simone Simons. Epica is also a symphonic metal band, but with a harder edge. They have a relatively new release called KINGDOM OF HEAVEN PT 3 - (ΩMEGA ALIVE) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJWldImDeZ2Hn68. The music and her singing will blow you away.

[@brianbalcer]

Song sounds slower than it should

[@rome8180]

The note you played at the beginning didn't match what she was singing. What she was singing was a half step lower.

[@aizahenowayland5246]

Couldn't watch it after noticing the song is slowed down

oh, it's such a pity that you caught one of the bad videos. to avoid this in the future, please use gabriel bardac's link list/library Thank you very much

[@leticiaarizmendi4186]

la pausas mucho todos son iguales

[@timometsanoja9666]

I have not yet heard the new bass player with Nightwish, but I believe he is a very competent person on the instrument. There is just no way he is not very good bass player or Tuomas would not have picked him up. The thing is that he does not sing. Troy I guess now is the secondary/male vocalist, but I don't think he can be a good replacement for Marco. Marco was a lead vocalist before joining Nightwish. So I'm a bit worried about them songs where Marco has/had real vocal parts... Especially the growling parts. Troy is great and that he can play like 301 different instruments if needed at the same time?!? But I'm worried about a few songs here... Like Romanticide for example. How will it sound with Troy?

[@NetAndyCz]

Troy is quite competent singer, but he is not Marco. So those songs will sound different and probably not quite right.

[@bazarista4720]

She is not an Opera-Singer.

[@shspurs1342]

Floor herself has even said on many occasions. That she has no clue how to do opera style vocals. This women is supposed to be a vocal coach, I.E an expert. When floor does the higher notes. She’s obviously doing a form of classical singing.

[@Mike_Judas_Priest_Kalsek]

I liked your previous 3 Nightwish videos but I was very frustrated the way you paused in the middle of singing parts and not after lines on this song. Your commentary is fine...I don't mind many pauses (to a point anyways)...it's just where you chose to do it. Cheers!

[@wilpoc1]

this is not the original version

[@PabloGarcia-sj5pm]

The pitch is not right🤦🤦🤦

[@German_1]

Somethings wrong, it's playing way too slow!!!

[@neonman855]

I think you have too big of a delay between the video and your reaction to it irl. You make comments about things like 1 second before it actually happens in the video. I understand that reactors often put in a delay to not seem to be "slow" at reacting to things (because of the human brain "lag", etc), but I think you should turn down your delay at least 1-1.5 seconds, preferably 2-3, because when you're "predicting" things that will happen like this it can at first seem like you've already seen the video. Just a thought and input from a random internet stranger you don't have to listen to :)

[@MisterJ56]

Sorry, more impressive would be at the right speed. Not your fault though.

[@mikham6233]

[@dannyalexys5562]

Advise: don't pause on the voice, when she sings.

[@monicacarolina6480]

a lot of singers in THIS genre use wrong techniques? That is a bit prejugists and als funny, because rock and metal bands keep playing and singing live for decades. Many singers in THIS genre are well trained vocalists.

[@jaskau2462]

That 3-5% more speed on tempo to "normal", as it has performed, seems so crusial to not getting the feel this version is lagging and dragging. Like they are on something and the 'gig' isn't going too well. 🤢 Just kiddin 🙈

[@vhaarr]

You're not getting the best experience here, this song is at least 7% slower than it should be and downpitched as a result. I noticed within _two_ seconds of playback that the guitar sound was way off, and then on Floors first "ooh" it was confirmed. This sounds horrendous. Please do yourself a favor and find a version that has the correct pitch.
