Voice Teacher Reacts to NIGHTWISH - Ever Dream

[@ingobordewick6480]

She blows my mind every time I see her singing. I was in that crowd, and for most of the people it was the first time seeing Floor with Nightwish. We were all blown away and instantly fell in love. I can't even really discribe it. I remember my jaw hurting from standing wide open most of the time. I saw a lot of disbelieve in the eyes of people around me. It was just a perfect night.

[@MatsGarage]

I am so jealous. I only discovered Nightwish during the pandemic but if I had a one time use of a time machine to see a concert it would be this. Possibly rivaled by Queen at Wembley but Floor never fails to tug at my emotions like no other singer can.

[@phils866]

@@MatsGarage Fitting comment, since Freddie was one of Floor's idols. Time and again, when asked who she would love to have performed a duet with, past or present, she always immediately answers 'Freddie Mercury'.

[@ingobordewick6480]

@@MatsGarage I saw Queen live in Muinich in 1986 (damn, I get old), and Freddie had the same ability to deliver emotions through his voice. Make sure to listen to Floors new solo-single "Me without you". Was released today. If I could travel back in time to see a show it would be Led Zeppelin. Greets from Germany!

[@laudatosiadastra1218]

I´m so happy for you :) This is my all time favourite concert to watch. So grateful it was captured on film.

[@BrendonChase_2015]

@@phils866 & @Mats Karlsson there's a very nice video by Dutchy YTer "Paashaas". Sort of a virtual duet, called "Queen feat. Floor Jansen - Who Wants to Live Forever (duet with Freddie Mercury)".

[@chadbennett7873]

I think my favorite parts of your reactions, Bethany, is your "Yes, we're going back!", as you radiate joy and pleasure in your discovery. You just bubble with personality, and it's just so fun to see you watch somebody who epitomizes everything I'm sure you teach. I can see in your eyes and smile that you are watching masters of composition, virtuosos of their instruments (both musical and voice), and wizards of reaching into your chest and touching your heart. I know, because I can see my feelings reflected in your reactions. I don't think anybody on KZbin enjoys it to the level that you do. Of course, I've been subbed since your first Nightwish reaction ... and I will be continue to accompany you on this amazing journey as you discover EVERY SINGLE SONG is a unique story, a life-changing experience and a blessing to us all.

[@oliverdonder7616]

Last week I could see Floor live in Hertme, NL in her show ... I was only about 4 meters away from her .... you think all these videos with Nightwish, their KZbin covers, or their solo shows prepares you for what to expect ... No, it doesn't ... The stage presence and that voice is, from that small distance something that completely blows you away. No autotune, no playback (at the very front you could hear her voice coming out despite the speakers) ... just pure vocal power and charisma ... just thinking about the show still gives me goosebumps!

[@c128stuff]

I have seen and heard her perform live in a much smaller setting, before she joined Nightwish. She did not need a microphone. She is an amazing vocalist and stage performer.

[@1973HenkY]

Thermometers are tested with icy water and boiling water to check 0 and 100 degrees. Floor is used when testing autotune.

[@silverblack5475]

This Wacken set list for Floor is so ridiculously demanding ( BTW , shes been doing some of the hardest set list the past 20 yrs) on her voice and she hits every song out the park and to think she was with Nightwish for only 10 months at this time is crazy .

[@chriso6719]

Floor has said that this is one of the more challenging songs for her to sing, I think because it stays so high, as you mentioned. Everdream was song #5 in the 15 song set, just before Storytime. Yes, Marko has a great voice. He does sing on a lot of songs, usually backing or co-lead. But , he does sing lead on a few, including The Islander and their cover /tribute of Pink Floyd's High Hopes. He was lead singer of a band called Tarot before he joined Nightwish. Not sure which ones you have scheduled, but Romanticide and Ghost River from this show will give you a better dose of Marko. You already did Phantom of the Opera with Floor and Henk, Nightwish performed it with Marko and original singer Tarja Turunen.

[@davidellinsworth22]

It's very high for the chest register. She can of course sing higher on falsetto.

[@Sadrose21]

@The Vocayst you should definitely check out The Phantom of the Opera by Nightwish. You won't regret it.

[@Green-Lyon]

Interestingly, Floor said it was the LOW part that was the real challenging bit. She has stated that the belting is right in her wheelhouse while the breath control required for the lower parts sits more on the edge of her comfort zone.

[@barrydunham896]

Hard to find a better live performance that this one!

[@robertsheeler321]

Fantastic vocal breakdown, Its such a joy to watch you analyze Floor

[@purpleir]

I knew you would love Marko's voice. Both him and floor have impeccable technique and are also very seasoned artists so they have full control over their voices.

[@Beatz-he5xe]

You are a KZbinr that floor has to see. She said the most voice coaches don’t react with technical knowledge….you have that and recognize the quality And control she has… new subscriber for this…

[@colingreengrass6751]

I love how you fangirl over Floor. I mean its hard not to. Whatever Nightwish song you choose to listen to next will blow you away, and you have yet to get to all the solo stuff she did on Beste Zangers and on her own you tube channel :)

Another very good professional reaction, you are one of the best👍

[@andrewmckay362]

What's absurdly impressive is that since Marko's departure Floor now sings BOTH parts. I don't understand how she's physically capable of pulling in her breath quickly enough between parts, but holy hell she manages it.

[@frenkwd1]

" Ever Dream " is the sixth single by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. Released as the first single from the band's fourth studio album, Century Child, it was the group's first single in two years, following " Deep Silent Complete " in 2000. The song is more operatic in nature than later works and the music itself is more on the heavy metal side. It is still played live since 2002 until today. "Ever Dream" was certified with Gold Disc in Finland two days after its release, with more than 5,000 copies sold, and later received Platinum Disc with more than 10,000 copies sold.

[@Teunstah]

Ah so great to see you enjoy this, as many of us did on our first (and subsequent) listens! Tears everytime she hits so high!

[@chewie2648]

This Song is absolutely Floor's Limit. She is, like She said, no Machine. Sometimes it will not work. Like the high Note at the end of Ghost Love Score. When i was at their Show in 2018, it was perfect. She was soooooo on Point. Absolutely amazing.

[@ieradossantos]

11:02 This is most beautiful, so ... makes you want to crawl into your headset

[@ericsaari2901]

Great reaction! Love Nightwish so much. So glad I found them. Floor said somewhere that this was one of the hardest songs she performs. She and Marko sound so good together here. It remains a favorite for me, but there are quite a few lol. I really look forward to the rest of your journey exploring them. No need to worry about pausing or going back - that's what we're here for!

[@rnowak85]

It definitely was the hardest song for her to sing before Human Nature came out. I think Shoemaker is harder for her know

[@colmortimer1066]

If you want to hear more Marko I would highly recommend "While Your Lips Are Red" I like the live at Wembley version, myself. Part of what makes it great is he gets to lead, and yet when Floor joins in, she stays underneath him, to let him shine. We are more used to him backing her up, and in this one she backs him up without overpowering him in any way. Also Tarja, the first Nightwish singer, sang this song as well, when she was with the band. It is great to hear the same band playing the same song, so you can really compare the 2 styles of the different singers. I can't personally say for sure which is better even, but there are some differences in how they approach this one. I would say it is always great to see you cover Nightwish, and it is, but it is also good when you expose me to new singers I might not otherwise get into. A lot of reactors stick to certain styles, you tend to branch out a lot, exposing us to new singers, and breaking it down in a way that keeps it interesting, even if it is not a style I'd often look for.

[@GenXMetalHead73]

Floor has such talent her voice brings out emotions we didn't know we had! Such an amazing talent there is no one else on her level anywhere!

[@timhutchinson8485]

Those high belted notes with vibrato in this song really remind me of a young Ann Wilson.

[@davidellinsworth22]

Ann Wilson was great. Her, Stevie and Floor are my top 3 female rock vocalists. Love them all

[@chryse]

That's a very apt comparison. As soon as I read this, I was 100% on board with it.

@@davidellinsworth22 I would add Pat Benatar to that list. Diminutive but a powerful voice, trained as an opera singer before heading to the "dark side" of rock.

[@somedigitalist7681]

It's always a pleasure seeing your analyses of Nightwish performances because you always notice and comment on how Floor almost constantly varies the dynamic weight, vocal colour/timbre and vocal effects she uses, whether subtly or very obviously. It really enhances both her storytelling ability and the amount of dynamic interest in her vocal arrangements. It was also great to see you notice the way Floor often incorporates some of the tallness of classical technique into contemporary vocal set ups. It's why her mixed belting tends to have much less nasal resonance than you'd normally get in those types of sounds (though she does occasionally deliberately use nasality with those types of sounds as a stylistic choice). If you want a Nightwish Song that features more of Marco singing but also features Floor doing some things you haven't heard her do yet, I'd suggest Rommanticide from Wacken 2013 or Yours is an Empty Hope from Wembley 2015 (if you want to hear Floor do some false cord growling).

[@danray104]

If you wish to hear more of Marco's amazing talent and versatility, check out "the islander" from tampere, or "kiss while you're lips are still red", or the NW tribute to "high hopes", and lastly, "phantom of the opera" from the end of an era performance. All are uniquely different, and all are mind blowing! You will not be disappointed

[@SuperJgil]

Great reaction. I love how much you love music and the respect that you give to the music that we love. If you want to hear a bit more of Marko, I highly recommend phantom of the opera (with Tarja, singer before Floor), or the Islander, or bye bye beautiful. 🥰

Love your commentary on how Tuomas approaches arranging his music. He paints a musical soundscape in our minds, which allows the music to takes us to another place or time. Loved it beautiful lady! Until next time? Be well. 🙏🙏

[@davidellis7960]

In Many Songs Floor and Marko Harmonize, and then switch the High and Low Parts, I See Nightwish as a Group of highly Experienced Musical Artists, Each Very Unique, working tightly together. In 2013 She had only worked with Nightwish less than a Year, Tuomas and Her worked together to Modify His Works to build a Stronger Performance. If you Watch the whole Show I see the Whole band has become a fan of Floor and She has become a fan of the Whole Band, A Brotherhood & Sisterhood to the Music. Floor Jansen is such a practiced Vocalist she takes on risky vocals and Just rises to the occasion as needed for the Music and looks so at ease doing it.

Always a pleasure watching your reactions to Floor and Nightwish! Your joy and enthusiasm seem truly genuine, and your insight and commentary is superb. She said this is probably the most difficult Nightwish song to sing, not that you can tell when she absolutely nails it like this. Also, she just released a third solo single, Me Without You, with a video that just now debuted on KZbin. You should check out her recent solo stuff, but in addition to Nightwish, not instead.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I'm just gonna say it, everybody talking about Floor, but my favorite part is the drums. Jukka kills it on this track, _especially_ on the bridge, when it's just him and Floor. I've never heard a drummer and vocalist sound so good together, with Jukka drumming frantically while Floor sounds so desperate. #IMissThePirate Edit: @The Vocalyst: If you want to hear Floor give you "the Feels," I highly recommend reacting to Sabaton, Christmas Truce. Floor has a cameo because her hubby, Hannes Van Dahl, is the drummer for Sabaton. But Christmas Truce is about the "Christmas Truce" of World War I, in 1914. Sabaton sings about military history, and you might like the voice of Joakim, the lead vocalist. But on Christmas Truce, Floor goes full operatic, without singing any lyrics. I think you'll like it!

[@ar47yrr4p]

Ya, I'm no expert on Marko...only recently having looked up the information, but Marko and his brother created a band in the early 1980's called Purgatory, which was renamed to Tarot in 1984 I believe. In that band Marko was the lead singer (as well as bass). Looking at the timeline on wikipedia, he was the lead singer until about 2003. He continued to play with Tarot as a bassist until, well probably until he retired last year while Tommi Salmela took over as lead singer in 2004. So, Marko has a LOT of experience being a lead singer in a Heavy Metal Band (Tarot is considered heavy metal). So he really does know what he is doing. And you WILL love hearing more of him. Some Nightwish songs where Marko takes the lead are; - While your lips are still red - High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover) - The Islander Those are the 3 I can think of off the top of my head. These are songs where Marko is lead. There are many others where he does more or less backing vocals. Also, I wanted to mention... eventually you will get to the big 2 (no hurry, unless you want to)... "The Greatest Show on Earth" and "The Poet and the Pendulum". Before reacting to either of those songs I highly suggest you do some research on those songs. Knowing the background story to those songs will allow you to really appreciate them MUCH more... especially with "The Poet and the Pendulum"

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Tommi never took over as lead singer but did sing some lead, he was basically harmony vocals and did some minor key/sample work live. Marko was always the main vocalist. Tarot basically ceased to exist after their drummer Pecu died. For Marko's best singing in Tarot, my favs are Pyre of Gods and Tides, especially the live version.

[@jimharris367]

Just an incredible band, and a wonderful and engaging reaction and analysis 🤘

[@853massey]

Amazing band and Floor's voice is unreal, unbelievable. One of the best female voices ever imo, let alone Marko's voice. Truly amazing.

[@wallywest2360]

One of the reasons I love Floor's voice so much is the way she handles onsets. She can go from silky smooth, relatively quiet notes, to these super crisp punchy onsets. In some songs she'll use a touch of vocal fry at the beginning of a note. And with all the varied techniques and sounds she uses her diction is still really good. I think some singers who play around with their voice to produce cool effects tend to lose diction as a result. Floor doesn't. And yeah, Marko and Floor together are just magical. He said that Floor was the only female singer he had worked with that could keep up with him in terms of volume. He had to tone his voice down to keep from overpowering the previous Nightwish vocalists, but with Floor he could let loose.

Floor's lower register is my favourite part of her voice and given how good the rest is, that's saying something. Marco is quite probably the best male vocalist in metal. Where he's not singing main parts his harmonies are wonderful. Consistent is the word you wanted. Marco with Floor: Ghost River from Wacken Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires Slaying the Dreamer from Buenos Aires I Want My Tears Back from Buenos Aires Elan from anywhere - not joint lead but his harmonies make this song for me. And my No 2 NW song, Song of Myself from Wacken The ultimate Marco with Nightwish is High Hopes from Hartwall Arena 2005 Plus his solo album Pyre of the Black Heart starting with The Voice of My Father

[@spiritscar]

Fantastic and fun video! Seeing the pure joy on your face as you experience hearing and seeing these performances for the first time is priceless. Two essential Nightwish songs and performance featuring both Floor and Marko singing for you to check out. “Romanticide” Live at Wacken 2013 and “The Devil and The Deep Dark Ocean” Live in Buenos Aires 2018 Would love to hear your take on these two songs and perhaps in particular!

[@elvwood]

There are a surprisingly large number of reactors who are so focused on Floor they barely mention Marko, so thank you for giving him the attention he deserves (not that I doubted you would). To explore him further, the four must-listens IMO are High Hopes and Phantom of the Opera (both from End of an Era), The Islander (Tampere - do the longer video with his intro if possible), and Romanticide (Wacken - again if you can get his intro it's fun). There are plenty more after that, though! Like Floor, he can tackle a huge range of styles - a couple of years ago he won Finland's Masked Singer with songs from artists including Elton John, Blondie, Prince, Backstreet Boys, and Coolio. Though my favourite of his outside Nightwish has to be his own song, The Voice of My Father.

Each time I've watched you experience their music, Nightwish gains a little something which is very precious and hard to put into words. So I tried and did "go back". Not to relisten to Everdream per se, but to again watch you reacting to it. BTW, I think at 7:20 you actually found the perfect term for the subtle emphasis Floor adds to her vocal magic: matching colours. In a way, I believe that's what your reactions are to Floor's voice. A perfect match, in the sense that you naturally seem to resonate with the way Floor herself feels and expresses Tuomas' compositions. Like Floor highlights "me" and "need" (like on a painting), you match & thus emphasize Floor's delivery. Without, I might add, taking away anything from NW as a whole. I mean, the utter delight when you first experience another perfect match - the Marko/Floor singular malt vocal blend - is enough for me to rewatch this reaction of yours more than just "one more time" (the endearing motto from your previous NW reaction to Storytime). All this to just tell you how much I appreciate your Nightwish/Floor reactions. You're both a natural AND a total professional, like Floor. As I said, a perfect match. I seldom watch reaction videos more than once, but those of yours to are the exception. So because I just can't get enough, "we go back, one more time"🤘Cheers from Amsterdam! P.s.: you mentioned the word "continuity" (or was it consistency?) and with that in mind, witnessing your reaction to Marko's stellar voice, I believe a recommendation of "Romanticide" (Wacken 2013 of course) is in order. As to Floor, "doing so many cool things in such a short period of time" (indeed!) 5:15 .. I feel confident that her 2021 solo live performance of the After Forever classic "Face Your Demons" would be the perfect choice if you ever dream of giving yourself a little vocal treat. Okay enough already, /rant. Here's to rewatching!

[@primarchxi6639]

The BEST Nightwish concert with Floor ever!! Unique in every way!

[@Robbies773]

I know you watched Ghost Love Score from another concert but If you can watch it from this 2013 concert it is amazing.

[@DraconimLt]

If you wanna hear some more from Marko and some growls, my suggestion is 'Ghost River' (Live at Wacken - 2013). For Marko singing a bit softer, then as a few people have said, 'The Islander' (Live At Tampere - 2015 I think).
