Tarja Turunen & Floor Jansen 'Over the hills' MFVF XI Wieze,Belguim 20/10/13

A great moment in Symphonic Metal history,Nightwish singers old and new share the stage ..

[@geelicon]

Tarja is pure sweetness, Floor is pure energy, both are pure magic. Do not compare them, enjoy this ladies.

[@irvingkyrie4091]

Yes, different style

[@irvingkyrie4091]

I know ,but sounds different and I mean their voice is not the same.

[@trido79]

I need more Floor & Tarja duets. They are very good together. I love girl collaborations.

[@musikexplorer7115]

Yes, love Gary Moore too ! And this version of "Over the Hills" should be rerecorded with both voice-characters ! Would be awesome !!

[@crustypoosay4889]

There friendship is genuinely so cute. Them smiling at eachother, floor pointing at tarja wanting to crowd to cheer for her, them whispering to eachother onstage overall you can tell how much fun they’re having and how much they support eachother it’s so wholesome

[@lorenasanches8082]

For those who wonder... Both are friends since the After Forever days, when Floor was invited to be part of Nightwish, the first thing she done was call Tarja and tell everything about it, because Floor wanted to know how would she feel about it, Tarja only said that it has been such a long time since her departure and everything was ok, that Floor should accept and follow her heart to never let the music industry change her. This rivalry is a fanfic from Tuomas Fanboy's. This was told by Tarja herself during an interview by the way.

[@loadeddog8015]

They quite often talk to each other . Since floor had her daughter, taraja has been sharing her experiences of touring with a child..... this is so cool...

Well, I'm a Toumas fanboy and never even heard about such rivalry. Though it's true that I'm not really active in the community, I just enjoy the music and avoid the drama. But finding out they are friends warms my heart.

[@MrKeserian]

As someone who's worked sound, I love the fight in the start where Floor is asking for her Mic to get turned down, and Tarja is asking for Floor's mic to get turned up. It's so classy, and I feel like this song almost serves as a passing of the torch from Tarja to Floor. Yes, Floor has a different style than Tarja, but the to of them are amazing vocalists who are both amazingly skilled.

[@HK-gm8pe]

well they have been friends for a very long time and I love that Floor is liek a big sister to her in here , I have even heard taht when Floor was given a choice to replayce Anette in the NW then she called Tarja to ask id its oaky....that alone shows how good friends they mustbe, and their chemistry on stage is also amazing

[@mitiemaemura]

You made a awesome description. Congratulations 🎉

[@mitiemaemura]

And f**k all the others members of the band!!

[@Marcusrafaelfet]

@@MrKeserian I think it shows more about respect, friendship. They both can be appreciated for their very different qualities instead of the rivalry created by NW fans, they're so different, no reason to be arguing about who is better. I only wich fans would follow the example.

[@wayneccj0710]

Personally I love all of the lead singers from Nightwish. For me it is simply a matter of flavors. These 2 singing together on the same stage is like getting 2 of my favorite ice cream flavors on the same cone.

[@starbird3939]

[@furioussherman7265]

Yup.

[@maxrav1831]

Yet when Annette was lead singer they felt like a real balls to the wall rock'n'roll band. With the others they feel like a project or Act.

[@reapin469]

@@maxrav1831 I feel the opposite. To me they sound complete with floor.

[@maxrav1831]

@@reapin469 Nothing wrong with that mate. Floor is a fantastic vocalist but music is a very subjective thing so even though I recognize Floor's vocal talents her version of the band just doesn't resonate with me as much as Anette's era. I didn't like the last album very much so maybe that's got something to do with it as well.

[@denisdrozdoff2926]

More like Valkyrie considering geography.

[@KalvinEllis]

Gotta love how happy Tarja looks during this performance. You can tell she couldn't care less about past bullshit with Nightwish anymore, or that Floor is with them now. She is there having fun and singing her heart out with her old friend. How can you not love these two.

[@TheRisky9]

+KalvinEllis It's amazing what happens when you put things in the past where they belong, rather than dwelling on them.

[@crystalcorum-overstreet8838]

^THIS!!!! You can't pull a video of nightwish up on KZbin that the comments section has dissolved into a who's better slugfest. It's really pointless because it's obvious to anyone who cares to pay attention that the two people currently at the center of that bs aren't holding grudges or in competition with one another. Floor and Tarja are friends. They have been friends for a very long time and are STILL friends. And if you care to pay any attention at all you'd know that Tarja and Annette have said very complementary things about one another in the last couple of years. It's idiot fans who keep fanning the flames of a fight that never even existed. -. -

+Nerdanel Ea I am not fighting between the two I am just sad that nightwish didn't stick with a style that I happened to like more. Certainly I hope they don't hate each other.

Two of the world's finest symphonic goth queens singing together. An amazing performance.

[@rmounty64]

My first time seeing Tarja and Floor together. I thought there was a rivalry, but I didn't know they were good friends. This changes everything. She was probably happy to see Floor pick up her mantle in Nightwish. Awesome and them some.

[@Coolkast]

As said in the most popular post under this vid, rivalry only exists between the NW fans

[@Ghoulza]

when they asked Floor to join Nightwish, she only agreed after Tarja said she was ok with it.

[@Patzolino]

They show so big friendship here. Along with what already was said about how happy they look together, I noticed something else - both of them are trying make the other appearance better. First Floor gestured two times to lower her mic volume down, later Tarja asked the staff to bring the sound of Floor's mic up. This is called ethic and collegiality. They are just great!

[@salt27dogg]

Plamen Dimitrov wow !! Excellent come t and I just noticed that. You picked that up pretty nicely

[@nicholaslawlor8623]

I think that there is huge mutual respect between these ladies and their love of singing shows.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

You are so perceptive

[@Keetongu23]

That's just for their monitoring, performers can't hear what's going on offstage. That's why there's usually a front of house engineer and a monitor engineer.

[@gufoscuro]

LOL they can’t decide the volumes of what the crowd will listen to. They are asking the stage mixer guy to bring the monitor volume for their mic up or down, which is something that singers do sometimes, since for certain songs the monitor needs to be adjusted.

[@cambino6675]

They need to do a duet of Ghost Love Score.

[@joab1150]

@@quiel90 dead to the world

[@MrMeraby]

A note to those who are talking about how they point to their mics. Doing so is not to indicate they want their voice down in the house sound. It's to indicate their voice is too loud in the monitor mix. If that happens, they can't hear the instruments and won't be on key (or, can't hear the other singers if they want to harmonize). It's a typical signal. When Tarja points to her mic and then Floor, she's saying, "I can't hear Floor well enough in the monitor mix to harmonize, turn her up." It has nothing to do with them being humble towards each other and instead, everything to do with the craft of singing. (That they are friends and are thoroughly enjoying singing with each other is evident from the very beginning, but this isn't that).

[@sirsaabslitoslap4785]

Its a big boat : wsd.there??

[@Amcsae]

That's really interesting, thanks!

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@Jack Actually, both have in ear monitors which you can see around 6:10 - however, they have singer specific mix to their in-ears (singers hear totally different mix than the audience) and the hand signals are used to request changes to the mix. Some lesser singers may even have tricks where the stage mixer listens to audio and even modifies the sound that the singer hears about herself to help her to tune a bit lower or higher if keeping correct pitch is hard. Of course, both Tarja and Floor are skilled enough not to require such hacks but they still need to hear each other with suitable volume to be able to sing well together.

[@spectresound]

The engineer obviously over did it when Flor asked to be turned up the first time since she had to ask twice for it to go down. I would to run sound for either of them.

[@lurakin88]

Very true, especially because if you're singing yourself, on a stage no less, you don't really have that good of a picture of how loud your mic is compared to the rest of the band (as in what the fans actually hear)

Sha Mart Tarja is former Queen of Nightwish... I'm sorry, but the reign of Tarja has ended a long time ago. And, it's very shameful that she lost it to Anette. Ha5x...

[@ArumesYT]

Greg S.B. Yes and no. I must say I think DPP and Imaginaerum are Nightwish's best albums so far, including the vocal work by Anette. But that's the albums. That's a lot of production work. When you watch Anette live though, it's a complete failure. Tarja had the vocal power to reproduce the quality of her album vocals on stage, but Anette doesn't even come close to what she sounds like on the albums.

[@GregSBTheEagle]

ArumesYT Yes it is... That's Anette weakness... Maybe, because many Tarjaholics always bullying her on the stage from the first time, she didn't have any confident at the time singing in stage, and of course it ruined her performance... Anyway, this Anette era have already gone and now Nightwish have an experienced versatile singer that can sing in any styles, have a great performance in the stage. And from her works outside NW we knew that her vocal quality in the stage is as good as in the albums...

What I love about this is there are no issues between them. I'm sure they are aware of the "who's better" comparisons but that's everyone else's issue, not theirs. Two fantastic singers!

[@nuxvomica21]

There is always someone that can out-sing someone. Neither Floor nor Tarja are immune from that, no singer is really.

[@alphamorion4314]

This is MAGIC. Nightwish needs to do more songs featuring Tarja, just because the voices of these two are SO FREAKING GOOD together.

[@edelcorrallira]

Two extraordinarily talented people the world is a brighter place with them. As for who is best the answer is quite obvious, both of them. They complement themselves to a point that defies imagination, perhaps compliment themselves is a better way of describing it. Lovely, they'd melt snow in coldest of winters, so much fun and energy, thank you so much for posting :)

[@Andrews_Wrestling_Life]

the 2 best vocalists nightwish ever had

[@thedisintegrador]

well since they had three... (not counting the guys) Not much to choose from :D

[@sakuraitonen9513]

AFinleyProductions Tarja and Floor > Anette. 💪😍

[@ljungan93]

I like Anettes voice a lot, she is not as strong a vocalist as Floor and Tarja are but she is by no means bad. And Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum are two amazing album. I think Nightwish is better off with Floor as their vocalist but I don't understand all the hate directed at Anette.

[@gorgewashington1216]

yep the firt and the third

[@Cuthalu]

Anette was a good studio singer but she didn't work in live setting with the band at all.

[@NataliaPCruz]

I wonder why nobody has recorded yet an album featuring Tarja, Floor, Simone, Sharon, Liv, Vibeke. It would be a milestone in the female-fronted metal history.

[@KAGEMORIEru]

Some record company needs to see this comment!

[@8__mario]

I agree 100%!

[@nicholaslawlor8623]

Yup I'd hate to have to fund that though, so many major artists, the price would be sky high.

[@Jilhoa1]

Someone send Arjen Lucassen a message then! Or you know, blackmail him or something ;P

[@SandraM]

Aneke is missing in this list

[@gotivanmomak]

How im watching this first time wow!!!!!!!! Tarja 💙 amd floor ❤

[@FriedToast]

Over the Hills and Far Away with Tarja AND Floor?! Mind BLOWN! 💕

[@boxheas1]

Almost 10 years ago Tarja left and while pseudo-Nightwish fans keep complaining about it and criticising everyone (even Floor), both they have fun singing together. Please, just get over it!

[@rodrigoflores1620]

I love Tarja. She is in a beautiful moment of her career. She is Floor's friend, they're beautiful togheter. We all have to stop critising everyone and love them. Both are great and beautiful singers. And the most important of all, they're friends. "We have to keep the love going". I love both of them♥

[@boxheas1]

Por tu nombre asumo que hablas español jaja Pero sí, lo has dicho perfectamente, también las amo a ambas

[@hamstermunchies5558]

Yes, they are loving each other, not showing-off. I'm sure the "keep the love going speech" is directed at those particular sort of fans :D

[@raineja]

There is no better singer to nightwish than Floor after Tarja. I did not liked anette and didin't listen nighetwish but now i will lisen again.

[@TheSunMoon]

Raine Järvinen Same here, I didn't really buy into Anette's voice. But a Nightwish with Floor seems promising..

[@AveburyEddie]

I love Tarja, I love Floor & I most certainly love Anette xxx Wonderful to see the first lady of Nightwish & the present lady of Nightwish, singing together as one :)

[@Drinckx2]

Delightful seeing the two of them together. Vocally, they complement each other really well.

[@freddking4389]

That was really interesting. I had never heard Tarja and Floor singing together nit was awesome.

[@SignatureESPev1]

I think someone got an earful after this. Floor had to ask them to turn her mic up a little when she was solo singing, then had to ask them to turn her mic down twice, then Tarja asked for Floor's mic to be turned back up. Near the end Tarja shot a ima kill you look offstage for a moment. For those that don't understand the reason why it could turn into a big problem. Both of them have earphones in so they can hear the rest of the band and themselves. If they can't hear themselves they can get off pitch, if they can't hear anything else but themselves they can get ahead of the rest of the band. Esp a problem when using backtracking or doing duets

[@diukdepata]

+Sabiths Pain Thats so nice to know! I saw the expressions on their faces, but I idn't understand why!!

[@kirstiecampbell2424]

+Sabiths Pain Due to being rather oblivious, I keep missing Tarja's 'ima kill you look.' Where exactly is it? Thanks :)

[@charlesajones77]

+Sabiths Pain I am by no means an expert on this subject, but couldn't they wear two earpieces, with only their own voice coming through one, and only the rest of the band in the other. I'd imagine it would be a lot easier to separate the two in your head if you're hearing them through different ears.

[@SignatureESPev1]

Its personal preference for the performer.

Yooo they actually harmonised, that is pretty cool!

[@Wildwolface77]

Holy hell! o_O I've never imagined that I would see this moment, but here it is. In THIS video, of all things...! o_O Thank you for recording this memorable scene. Truly.... m(_ _)m

[@youtubehandol]

I had no idea the pair had history... brilliant to see that Nightwish hasn't broken that friendship. Nightwish with Floor is simply on another level!

[@salt27dogg]

Gordz I'm not surprised . How else could Nightwish bring Floor in at a moments notice to replace Annette unless Nightwish and Tarja knew her well

[@Mrtheunnameable]

I'm pretty sure After Forever opened for Nightwish on a tour once.

[@ravenstone1781]

@@Mrtheunnameable Yes they did. Floor and Tarja have been friends since about 2002, when their bands toured together. And Floor had been a fan of Nightwish/Tarja since 1998 when Oceanborn was released.

[@learnerchris]

Just seeing this now. How wonderful!

[@astrocreep5561]

Lets just say nightwish is one of the luckiest bands as they have and had some of the worlds best singers and leave it at that, comparing the level of talent between them is pointless, im completly in love with floor and i have no problem with acknowledging tarja and anette are just as amazing.

[@javo_roma]

I have never expected someone to make Tarja look short... Wow!!!

[@Dimandcats]

Javier Rojas Martinez Ever think she could be wearing high heels? Doesnt ever show her shoes in this video.

[@javo_roma]

Unless she is riding shanks, she still is impresively tall, and despite I dont know their heights, I guess Floor is taller than Tarja anyways, with or without high heels. Both are huge.

[@ricardoss348]

Javier Rojas Martinez Tarja is only 1,66 and always alone in the stage, because this!

[@Mmvdm94]

+Javier Rojas Martinez tarja is little. floor is. 1.86 or something. im 1.77 tarja 1.66

[@javo_roma]

I thought she was really tall, not Floor-ish tall but tall anyways, I have been living a lie, hahaha. Have a nice day you all.

[@XandriaRavenrose]

Floor point "lower my mic volume" minute later Tarja is like "put her mic vol up,up up"

[@JulioSpiderWeb]

OMG I saw it now!! Floor made the lower gesture wide open, but Tarja sneaked behind her to tell them to raise it!

[@XandriaRavenrose]

Like fuck this I'm tired I can't sing anymore I sound bad it's my concert,my song fuck her :P

[@danillosoares2186]

[@koemiee]

I think this sign is only for the monitor sound and not for the entire crowd. Usualy the band does not hear a lot of the FOH-sound

[@kehmeli7140]

Personal in ear monitoring. Sometimes even after soundchecks you have to do adjustments on the go

[@Yonekochan1123]

OMG I'm so used to seeing Tarja being so graceful and elegant, it was such a delight so see her being so overwhelmingly adorable!

[@MatthiasVex]

Floor has an incredible ability to tailor her sound to the sound of whoever she's performing with, and make it seem easy. Her versatility is unmatched, and her ability to stand on her own is similarly extraordinary. It's no surprise she did so well alongside Tarja, who's an incredibly solid foundation to build the rest of your sound on top of.

[@romaddan1]

Looks like two great singer who are friends having a great time on stage... This performance makes me smile.

[@AnnaTheGothicGirl]

Why arguing about Tarja and Floor? They are good friends and awesome singers!

[@fixxa6455]

Tarja: You want a little special.... oh wait not so little....surprise? Let Me introduce ME! oh wait... floor: what a nice friend! 👍🏻

[@Phantomwrks]

You know what I'd love? If the members of Nightwish were able to come to an understanding with Tarja and do a tour with her as a being duet vocals with Floor! I know there's a lot of bad blood there, so this is probably the closest we'll get, but could you imagine The Greatest Show on Earth with them both??

[@melissachilders1578]

From what I read in a recent interview, Tuomas and Tarja are back in touch, even though only through email right now. He said that, when his father passed away several months ago, Tarja sent him a very kind and heartfelt email expressing her condolences and having a bit of a catch up. He also said that he sincerely apologized to her for how her departure from Nightwish was handled and he should have acted much differently, but it was ultimately the best decision for everyone. Tarja herself has said that, while she forgave Tuomas long ago, he hurt her deeply enough that they can never recover the friendship they had.

[@myrmyles]

lol multiverse is really IN right now a concert tour with the og, the mid, and the present should happen 😆 or atleast these two.

[@VanAkita]

Tarja has said that she would be in for a reunion concert, but only if the then members did a public apology for the open letter firing. Considering only two of the members from once are part of the band now(jukka is on indefinite hiatus for health reasons and marco pretty much retired from everything), this is unlikely to happen. At least she is in good terms with Tuomas.

[@potitishogun2961997]

I love how they're both stiff metal goddesses on stage when alone, but when they're together, they're dancing and bouncing all over the place like besties xD I love 'em both lol

[@potitishogun2961997]

@Mapz Hmar Zate I guess I haven't seen enough of her lmao-

[@alejoplazas]

It's amazing how humble both are. Tarja asked for increase Floor's mic volume and and Floor asked to reduce it. Better persons than singers. Thanks what really matters!!!!

[@marynposh]

Tarja is so funny with her english mistakes! )) I love her so much.. and she looks small against Floor!)

[@frostfireeee]

That is because she is, tarja is 5'4" and floor is 5'6" lol

[@thiagovidal6137]

Everybody look small against Floor. She is bigger than every Nightwish member. You see that when they get together for a photo... pretty funny.

[@AndersMidnatt]

frostfireeee Are you a liar?! Yes, Tarja is 5'4'' (164 cm), but Floor is 6' (183 cm).

[@ronaldn5751]

Yeah, met her few days ago after a ReVamp show.. shes friggin' huge!

[@DanSoendergaard]

EarthCitizen09 As far as I I'm aware of she's Dutch not a Dane like myself :) But I'd be hella proud if she were!

[@davidharris1538]

What a privilege....two goddess on the stage...who wins...all of us....

[@michaelsalis9285]

Hell yes

[@mothmagic1]

What a performance. They are both great in their own ways, together they are awesome.

[@Unorthodoxy1]

Floor Jansen is a worthy successor that's for damn sure.

[@nightwisherr1]

now floor must invite tarja to sing with nightwish :D

[@stormyyxx]

oh my god just NO

[@ninajokelainen7620]

Floor dont decide that.- Tuomas is boss not Floor.

[@sorsocksfake]

Heh dunno if they would want to do that... but if both parties ever wish it, that'd be an awesome guest performance!

[@kifbender7302]

I wish that nightwish would do a big singer renuion where tarja anette and floor all were there and they each sing songs from their own albums!
