The SUB-DOMINANTS sounds like a good name for a band with a single called "Powerbottom" and a chorus full of plagal cadences

[@corneliusantonius3108]

The Orchestral sounds are recorded at Angel Studios by London Philharmonic musicians under direction of Philip Malcolm "Pip" Williams, I don't know how that translates to or works through Tuomas his keyboards to be honest.

[@nicod1361]

most feel the Wacken 2013 performance is the gold standard,but thanks as usual for another great reaction, this band & singer really deserve more acknowledgement from the music industry

[@pete_lind]

Storytime from Nightwish 7th Album , Imaginaerum , that album sold double platinum in Finland on the day when it was released ... interview with Tuomas about this album . Chaos Tube: Tuomas Holopainen interview in Helsinki 12th of Oct. 2011 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZu5e5aNn5yXZ5Y&feature=emb_logo 14 min 14 sec The movie part Tuomas said to , Loudersound ... The Finnish government has agreed to provide a grant of £365 000 towards its full budget of £2,3 million which will help to relieve the financial burden. But if it should flop at the box office, that’s a gigantic amount of the band’s own cash to lose ... and it flopped , big way .

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Can we keep Jack ? does Jack is up to that ?

[@pickboaa]

U should definitely do more Nightwish songs with Jack! His jaw at the operatic part was hilarious.

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

He had no clue 😅

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

@@CharlieCalottaReacts I would like to see his face at the last sung note of " Ghost Love Score" or the rising and falling mega gliss harmony of Floor and Marko in Romanticide. Or just the Troy/Floor version of "How's the Heart" or Shoemaker ( pretty much anywhere)

I didn't notice before that Floor climbed the riser and did the Marilyn Monroe thing. She was on fire that night.

Charlie watching Jack react is exactly why all us Nightwish fans love watching reactions to this band. It's just so joyful to share it and watch as people realize what they've been missing, and what's still ahead.

[@douglascampbell9809]

On first Beste Zangers show from 2019 the host asked Floor if she liked performing for an intimate setting like the show or in a stadium in front of 10's of thousands of people. Floor said she preferred the stadium.

@@CharlieCalottaReacts Sad to say that I'm not that rich. The internet option is faster and cheaper though. I read my first comment and realized that I should clarify that I like Jack and not just anyone. I think you and Jack together can make it even more interesting. Don't get me wrong, I love your analyses. I'm not at all complaining.

[@trmn8r677]

Yeah guys, I wanted to mention that I was recently at another site, and the usual accolades were being presented... Anyway, there was a listener/viewer that acknowledged that Floor was probably the most versatile singer out there, but he didn’t think she was the best at anything. I’d like to express my disagreement here! True, there’s a lot of great vocalists out there, but NO ONE has so consistently caused the emotions that I feel when Floor sings! She has an inane ability to make people feel what she intends. For me, she’s one of, if not THE best singer(s) OF ALL TIME! Pick a genre, and she’ll NAIL IT! Amen. 🤟🏻👍🏻🤟🏻🤙🏻

[@Lilygirl283]

I agree, also Floor is a empath, she feels emotions deeply, she sings from the heart, she is not just singing like a lot of other singers do, she is living it, i also get very emotional when Floor sings, its the vibe she puts out...ps, whoever said that about Floor is wrong, totally wrong, Floor is a perfectionist...

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

There was another comment on a different reaction that said she was screeching because she couldn't hit the notes.

[@Drinckx2]

Agreed. She is extraordinary: talent aside, her ability to make so many people feel emotion is beyond what most singers can achieve. No other singer has that affect on me and I’ve been listening to singing for my 50+ years on the planet. Discovering her only a few months back was a revelation. And I love singers from Sarah Vaughan to Billy Holiday to Aretha Franklin to Ann Wilson to Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins) and many more just covering female vocalists and Floor is the best I’ve heard. The problem with her versatility - the Swiss Army knife of singing - is that people confuse that with the concept of ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’. I think she is the master of all trades.

[@lncprkns5513]

You talked about looking relaxed while singing, but It always amazes me how relaxed she looks right before she begins the operatic part of the song. She’s just bouncing around hyping the crowd then bam!

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Yes yes yes! Relaxation needs to happen even before the first inhale to optimize yourself for making sound

Hmm, Ankudinova and Jordan have definitely good voices... but do they live in the songs they sing? Hopefiully not, because one of them sang "Wicked Game" and the other one "I Put A spell On You".

The website Songfacts.com says: "The Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish's seventh long player, Imaginaerum, is a concept album telling the story of an old composer on his deathbed, reminiscing of his youth. This is the lead single, which was released on November 11, 2011. The song is about the 1982 animated movie The Snowman. Band leader Tuomas Holopainen told Metal Hammer magazine: "It's such cool stuff, and I think that 'Walking In The Air' is the best piece of music ever composed, so [I thought], 'let's do a remake of that'!" The song spent four weeks at #1 on the Finnish Singles charts. It was Nightwish's twelfth chart-topper in their home country."

Tuomas sang in "the Beauty and the Beast" and "The Carpenter" early on, I really like these songs ! In the "Decades" tour Troy took on the vocals for "The Carpenter'" This is one of several "Christian" songs from a "Secular" band! Tuomas and Troy put out a video saying that they are openly secular... "Gethsemane" is a damn good (again biblical) tune by Nightwish, I hope you go there soon! I tie King Diamond/ Mercyful Fate as my favorite band with Nightwish, just saying! Triple threat with King singing, but both Tarja and Floor simply kicking ass! More please!

[@Plastikdoom]

This a killer performance as are all of theirs, my favorite is the actual imaginarium tour performance of this song. It’s slightly more refined, like a year or two later, shot with better cameras and audio, it’s the same, just more refined.

After Forever and Nightwish have toured together and they also saw eachother and hung out many times during festival season and in the club circuit all over Europe. Floor and Tarja are actually good friends. After Tarja, Tuomas' 1st choice was Floor, but she wasn't available at the time, because she was still with After Forever. With Anette, Tuomas purposefully chose a different type of vocalist so fans couldn't compare her to Tarja. When After Forever was disbanded Floor felt lost and sought her own way by forming ReVamp. After Anette, Tuomas asked Floor (on her sister Irene's wedding day) to step in as an interim vocalist for the remainder of the tour, with indeed only 48 hours to learn the setlist. Floor was recovering from a burnout at the time, so her band ReVamp was temporarily at a standstill. From there on everything unfolded exactly the way it was supposed to. The band has never been more of a tight unit as they are now, even after Marko left. Since Floor joined, all band members could finally relax and sincerely enjoy themselves again. That's obviously visible when you watch the faces of the band members closely on stage during the Buenos Aires 2012 and Wacken 2013 show.

Well allow "a dark Poet" to help you a little with the lyrics, Storytime is for the Imaginaerum Album wich deals with the power of imagination (there is also a movie if you a curious) Basicall Tuomas begins the story of "storytime" by saying, before there where Authors, Poets, Herolds, Skalds what ever there where no dreams no Lyrics and Poetry (tuomas uses words) and nobody could tell about his phantasy or dreams and keept them for them self. Then one Evening a Storyteller by a fire gathered all his guts and took the journey deep in side him telling all at the fire with him about his Phantasies and Dreams and Storytelling was born The Chorus then is a masterpiece of art it self " I am the voice of never, never land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real Every memory that you hold dear" so you ask who am I?, Iam Imagination YOUR Imagination as in my Imagiation or Tuomases Imagination wich made him able to compose this Song. Because Memorys are just us reimagining MOments we hold dear from a time gone by. "Iam the story that will read you real" well maybe you expierienced that you self once in a while you read about something and in your head you start thinking " what would i do, wouldnt it be great if i could do that" and then you start studiying, training , learning an instrument or a new language...well young man thats when the story reads you real :) to Tuomases Setup: Toumas usally uses 3 Keyboards to the time of this video he uses the Korg N364 (wich is the Nightwish Keyboard for us Keyboard playing fans, cause the big strings sample of the N364 gives yoiu that Nightwish choppy string sound) wich is usally the keyboard on top, its was the first Keyboard ever bought in 1994, Then here is the Korg Karma on his left side wich he uses usally for bell sounds, and his main Keyboard at that time is the Korg Kronos a 4k Multisampler Beast wich sounds yyou couldnt tell from the real deal if you really wanted...in my humble opinion

React to NW song Whoever Brings The Night, from Anette era. It's compose by Emppu :D

[@sleepwalker1]

Is this another video version, a different night? I don't remember Tuomas being on camera this much in this song at Tempere.

[@bloodybutunbowed291]

I really wish you had used Wacken for this one.

[@nahco3994]

Since I'm much more familiar with the Wacken version of this song, I need to ask this: I never really noticed the backing vocal track (not the choir) during the verse in that one. Did they edit it out in post? Or did the Wacken version just not have any?

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

I am curious as well. Just listened to the Wacken version and it is much more crisp

More Jack! Do not hit the road, Jack!

Not sure how your streaming setup works, or how hard this would actually be, but if you wanted to get him on stream to react more often, would it be possible to use discord for his voice/video and then use something like watch together so you are both watching at the same time? Again just throwing an idea out there as I don't stream so unsure how hard this would be. Anyways, as always cheers for the reaction, looking forward to the Wacken stream (i'll set an alarm so I can join in on this one ;))

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Yes that is possible for sure
