Vocal Coach Reacts! Nightwish! Ghost Love Score! Live!

[@fdsannie]

Here is some information to help you navigate their music. It is my standard speech...... :-) I subbed............. Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female fronted symphonic metal band. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now still is. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just saw her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. Lol

Her name is Floor Jansen "The flying Dutchwoman" she is tall at 6'1 tallest in the band. She sings operatic, rock, classic, in Spanish, growls, everything, she is the most versatile singer in the world today, and one of the most humble and gracious. She joined Nightwish in 2012 in the middle of their USA tour when they fired their singer Anette Olson in Salt Lake City, and called Floor, who was at her sister's wedding, and they asked her "Learn out setlist in 48 hours" and she mmet them 48 hours later in Seattle for her first show. This show is 10 months later and she still had not been asked to become a permanent member yet, that change after this performance she was asked and her answer was a resounding "YES

As someone who has been in an orchestral band when I was in HS, when you hear musical notes, you can anticipate where the next ones are going based on context. You can see it in his face at 13:02 he's thinking, "Oh wow, I know what note is coming nex- SHE HIT IT! Wow!!!!". I had the same reaction when I saw this song - SO great to see it in other people's faces too. :D

A friend introduced me to Nightwish in 2001 and I fell in love with them. The contrasting sound of the band and Tarja simply amazed me. Once she was no longer in the band I stopped listening to Nightwish. About 2 weeks ago I found this song while introducing my son, a musician, to different typesof music.

Love nightwish! If you really want to hear the best vocal range for Floor try to give Poet and the Pendulum at Wembly a listen. You need to know a bit before you go into that one though. Poet and the pendulum was written by (as were all of the songs actually) by Toumas, the keyboardist when they parted with their first lead singer Tarja (Floor is the third and current singer). There was a lot of backlash towards him on the decision to the point where he contemplated suicide, so he decided to write a song where he killed himself instead. The song talks about his inner struggles on the whole ordeal, and the last bit of the song is what his mother told him, that i feel made him continue on to this day. Great reaction and I hope to see more nightwish reactions from you! The nightwish army is coming, be prepared lol

[@ronaldboers8061]

The music is called symphonic metal and i very populair in Europe and South America. The band is from Finland and founded 1996. So far the band has had 3 vocalists 1 Tarja Turunen (Finish) pure opera voice also very good live. (until 2005) 2 Anette Olzon (Schwedish) more pop style. fine in the studio but not good live. (until 2012) 3 Floor Jansen* (Dutch) (current). * She is the vocalist you saw in this clip. She has a classical vocal background education and can sing any style she likes from jazz to opera high to growling low. Believe me when i tell you you have not even scratched the surface yet of what she's capable of. Band members Tuomas Holopainen (The keyboard player and creative mind behind the band. He writes about 95% of the music and lyrics) Marco Hietela (the viking with the long beard (Bass and vocals) Jukka "Julius" Nevalainen (The drummer) Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen (the hobbit like guitar player) Troy Donockley ( a person who did not play on this song but is a multi instrumentalist from the UK) The clip was shot a few months after Floor jointed the band right in the middle of their US leg of the world tour. They asked her to join after tensions between the previous (Anette) vocalist and the rest of the band had rissen so high that they fired her. With close to a year still to go to complete the tour, and their next concert planned 2 day later they, needed a replacement fast. They called Floor because she had toured with them when she was part of the support bands"After Forever" and later "Revamp" on several occasions and they were quiet impressed by her vocals (who would not be?). She only had 2 days, including a flight from the Netherlands to the US, to learn the setlist and only had one rehearsal with the band a couple of hours before her first show and nailed it. Since they were making a documentary about the worldtour a lot of what happened was recorded. The documentary is called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmoqZ6jjLCAe7c ) As a next song to take a look at i would recommend their masterpiece "The poet and the pendulum" live at Wembley. Before you take a look at it i would recommend to take a look at the backstory of this song. This will make you appreciate it much more. here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZPRanqZr751odk BTW that last note she just sang? Nightwish fans created a whole new word for when she does something impressive like that. We call it a Floorgasm.

I love the fact that Nightwish reaction videos are on KZbin so much now! New reactors pop up all the time as well, it's so cool.

He's been able to skilfully write songs for all three of their singers, to fit their different voices. And Floor can sing most things, she does the older material very well. This was originally written for the first singer, Tarja, who was very much a classical singer back then. Floor's made it her own and I enjoy both versions.

[@ellenhunt8767]

Just so you know, this band's been through tons of drama. They had 2 singers before Floor. The first was Tuomas's school friend, Tarja. He wrote The Poet and the Pendulum after having to fire her. They have a wonderful cover of Phantom of the opera with her, and if you dl the studio of this, she'll be on that too. The second was Anette, who's a good vocalist, but at that time, at least, really struggled live because of all the drama. There's a live version of Slow, Love, Slow where she did alright. If you listen to that or the official vid to Bye,Bye, Beautiful after Tarja's stuff, you'll see why fans were livid. I feel hearing the other singers helps you see Tuomas's mindset and really drives home the emotion. Don't forget to do some songs with Troy and Marco :) Glad you enjoyed

Floor has improved her mastering of songs written previously for Tarja, and it is now better (even if you think it is not possible, it is). And their new songs are really great too. I can't wait their next album !!

[@martinehermans6661]

Can't remember how many times I watched this vid, it always makes me happy! Your reaction is one of the nicest and dear lord, I've seen a few. Gonna watch your Jinjer reaction again, that one always makes me laugh out loud, whenever I need to be cheered up. Thnx and have a wonderful 2020!

[@sakeratoys9555]

Welcome to the Nightwish Army Have you been addicted? Of course you have 😁😁😁😁 More Nightwish more Floor and more being addicted Greeting from Indonesia

[@lnsmanning]

Great review. Floor is a rabbit hole with no end. She is A-mazing.

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

FUN FACT: Floor is 6' (1.83m) tall. Her husband, Hannes, is 6'7" (2.01m) tall. Their children may rule us all!

[@1SunnyDaze0]

Additional fun fact: her husband is the drummer for the metal band Sabaton! Their young daughter, Freja (sp?), is definitely going to rule us all!

[@nichep1]

Floorgasm! Congrats! 83k in the crowd. She's even better today!

[@calibadgerdude6082]

Yes, she is indeed very tall. She’s the tallest person on that stage by a fair margin. XD. Floor Jansen is arguable the best singer in the business right now, a true power house and incredibly versatile. This is a great song, but it only covers about 15% of what she’s capable of. Anything live from her is worth a listen, but the typical follow ups to this song are either Romanticide, Song of Myself, Ever Dream, or Storytime. Stick with the Live from Wacken 2013 for now, but the recordings from Wembley 2015 and Tampere 2016 are also phenomenal.

[@monksuu]

Actually, she wasn't the tallest person on that stage. Marco is 180 cm, Floor 183 cm and Tuomas 188 cm. But, maybe with her heels. Depending if Tuomas had thick bottom shoes... :D

[@syyneater]

Ever Dream kills me, Floor and Marco together just destroys everything!

[@lgmhorus]

No, the tallest by far is Enppu. He is a giant 🤣

[@saracarumbakaddoura9537]

I'd throw in Who I Am (with her old band Afterforever ft. Irene Jansen, her younger sibling). Another would be My Pledge of Allegiance #1, live with her old band (Afterforever).

[@itsjollylumpkin2402]

Thanks for doing the reaction to this great song of one of the best live perfomances ever. Please do some more Nightwish. There is so much talent to enjoy (and not only Floor).

[@SSTVocalCoach]

Absolutely, it's why I was so quiet throughout, the band were COOKIN!

[@ascensionenergetics85]

Try Poet & the Pendulum live at Wembley 2016 next. 🙏🏻❤️

[@Rancid-Jane]

Thank you for doing this reaction.

[@syyneater]

Loved seeing your first dip into the Nightwish pool, I’m a newer fan and the whole band is amazing. I’d also suggest giving Epica a listen, specifically Sancta Terra with Floor as a guest. The orchestra, choir, Simone & Floor together is divine!

[@epoc162]

This is one of my favorite metal bands. It’s an awesome mix between metal and operatic singing. It’s awesome.

[@MrSuperbeast92]

Sam: Can't have it all. Haha... Floore: Is that a challenge?

[@Engadieffs]

haha oh man that genuine surprise to your face when the floorgasm hit you :D love it

[@cassiewinters331]

Luckily no one in my life has never said “why haven’t heard of Nightwish?” You sir have experienced greatness, and now must pass it on

[@HiTekCowboy]

Great review. Thanks for reacting. Floor has somehow upped Nightwish's game. Been a fan of theirs since the beginning.

[@eTraxx]

You may well find this interesting. She is currently on a Dutch TV show called Beste Sangers (Best Singers) where they gather a group of singers .. all Dutch .. and they then take turns and everyone sings a song that is either by or important to one of the singers each week. She has so far sang in German, Dutch and Spanish kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSveGiOZs5lh68 .. sings a kinda Operatic Rock for the Older gentleman (he sings opera) .. is song his mother sang to him as a child (in German) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZuUmpWQp8-EitU .. sings in Dutch to the woman in Red (her song) .. on another page someone commented that she has a Southern Dutch accent kzbin.info/www/bejne/epe8ln-LpNaqZqc .. sings in Spanish to the guy in White and gray .. his song

[@jeffk1482]

Oh God yes, I've been watching *fanatically* and she's just freaking killin' it!!!!!!!!! 🤘👏👍

That is Floor Jansen the Queen of metal. Floor is 6'1" in bare feet than add the heels? Thanx for the review. Get ready for the Nightwish army. they will be here soon. Ann AKA the Nightwish MOMMA will be here soon she has al the info on Nightwish.

[@SSTVocalCoach]

Why does hearing about Ann both excite and terrify me at the same time!?

[@harleyquinn8011]

@@SSTVocalCoach Haha! You don't have to worry at all. She's just the nicest and greatest Nightwish fan in the USA. She knows a lot about Nightwish, we all love and respect her so much, so just wait for Ann Waychoff...

[@Green-Lyon]

@@SSTVocalCoach Ann is our beloved Nightwish momma bird. She takes all the new Nightwish hatchlings under her wings as they chirp away at the amazingly blue musical sky they've just noticed. A great lady and an ever-present supporter of KZbinrs who love great music!

[@syyneater]

Ann is just all around awesome!

[@lakelili]

You may be interested to know that this was sung 90-minutes into a 2-hour set. Also there were 82,000 people at that concert. Nightwish's other vocalist is their bassist, Marco Heitala. His rendition of "High Hopes" [live from the End of an Era concert] is also amazing. Thanks for your reaction.

[@seventone4039]

This song needed multiple stages to realy grow up into this sort of perfection. This was by the way her first time singing this Song in Wacken Open Air (North Germany) in 2013. The Symphonic Parts are done by the London Symphonic Orchestra.

[@kdm704]

Hey man, I just wanna say I loved your reaction because seeing people get excited about music is one of the best things ever!
