Vocal Coach Reacts to Dead Boy's Poem by Nightwish Buenos Aires

[@waltermeester301]

Apart from the incredible voice and versatility, what Floor really separates from other others is that Tarja and Annette were singers, Floor is a performer. She lives the song, tells the story, expresses the emotions and keeps your eyes on her. I truly think she is more in the Freddy Mercury league.

[@jamesanderson5268]

You know Floor was asked in an interview which male singer she would loved to sing a duet with living or dead and she said Freddy Mercury.

[@johnlanham9057]

This is why we all love her ... 💙💙💙 All Hail Floor 💙💙💙

[@nicolasarango5235]

You know, I love all Nightwish singers. I think each of them brought something special to the band. But Floor has the magic to turn a song that you think it could not be better, into a spectacular, special, newborn song. That's what I love from her. To me, this song got a new level and meaning after Floor's version.

[@jukkahelminen9071]

One of my all time fav songs. Really liked Tarja´s version. BUT now this... Heard it now several times, first tears are coming out when Floor start singing, and when song continue, later it is like somebody is trying tear the heart off your chest... When Nighwish is doing beautiful music, it is really beautiful. And when is it is connected same time to sadness..., it really feels in your heart. Music by Tuomas + Floor´s voice = a killer combination!

[@marcelelferink5888]

I sooooo agreed to what you say 👍👍

Hei Jukka olen samaa mieltä kanssasi että tämä on hienompia Nightwish biisejä,varsinkin sanoitus on aivan super koskettavaa tekstiä ja kyllä minunkin mielestä Floor on jotenkin sielukkaampi jos nyt näin kuvaisin häntä laulajana!

[@TheLOD2010]

If you know the Tarja version, this is good. But what Floor does with this reagranged song... speachless! This dynamic voice with the perfect pitch and all life! That is what musics heaven must sound like!

[@tabinavisser7642]

This Floor Jansen is really unbelievable,of course the band should not be forgotten,if you can reach a 77 year old Guy. Who never was into This metal stuff,Bravo!!!!

[@darrinward4699]

Floor's stock has always been very high for me and you would think it could not get much higher, but it did . When I heard her cover of "Shallow" I lost it... She just blew my mind that a lady who growls and windmills could perform a song that was so intimate and personal ...like she was in your own living room singing directly to you . It was so warm...and I have seen many a strong boy breakdown when they react to it . I know you already covered it here, and I suggest anyone who has not seen it CHECK IT OUT

[@sapphire_rosa_]

OMG Elvann I loooooove how excited you get at the beginning and then seeing the progression of all those emotions throughout. Such a beautiful song and absolutely stellar performance from the Valkyrie Queen

[@allenjohnstone9945]

Am I the only one who comes back here weekly just to see Elvann's reaction.

[@geraldgetskow3420]

Floor is such an emotive singer that when she sings she makes you feel every emotion. When she puts her mind to it she can hardest man or woman cry. She's done it to me many times.

[@PeTeR_HaNsSoN67]

Floor never disappoints ,, :-D

[@FREETHINKER-05]

Don’t worry Elvann, no words needed, I know what you’re saying. Floor sounds like a powerful angel when she performs. And I love the energy you radiate In your reaction videos Elvann and enjoy listening to you sing too.

[@lossow1]

I love Tarja, she is fantastic and there are so many Nightwish songs she recorded that are amongst my favourites. I always thought no-one else would be able to perform them as well as she could, but Floor has proved me wrong time and again by making her own version of the song, different to Tarja's but equally incredible. And that is great for fans as it's like getting a new song that is as great as a favourite old song. I'm so glad Floor joined Nightwish as she seems to have brought new life to the band, but that doesn't stop me from still loving the other singers too. Keep up the great Nightwish reactions. And I WASN'T crying. Nope. Not at all.

[@mathiasnobrega8217]

Such a wonderful and emotional reaction Elvann, seen it so many times! Makes us so sorry not having your reactions anymore...

[@paulhayward8459]

Elvann,you just created a new sensation, when the reactor becomes the focus as much as the reactee....LOL. I just keep watching the emotion overwhelming you in the first 60 seconds after Floor starts singing.She just has this effect,such is the sheer artistry,technique,passion,emotion she is gifted with,and we are lucky enough to experience.A person like Floor is a once in a lifetime experience, and right now she is at the peak of her powers.That she has chosen to spread her wings with Beste Zangers just proves what a true gem she really is.Not just gifted as an enormous talent of our times,she is both commanding and emotional,and we all need to appreciate her every day we are gifted with her presence.

[@WardDorrity]

Your reaction to this masterpiece earned my subscription and like. This wrecks your soul.

[@allenhuling598]

Awesome to see such high praise from another music creator....they definitely took this to another level with Floor! Thanks! Cheers for a healthy and prosperous 2020!

[@arnobenter]

Dear Elvann, I only can agree with you! This performance left me speechless too... I already love Tarja on the original, but once again Floor has put it on a higher level and made it her own, especially at the end...it is Floor, what more to say...

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

[@Green-Lyon]

It's amazing how Nightwish songs can do that. Tuomas penetrates right to the heart.

[@felipegaldino9336]

It was a light in the darkness. To hear someone else surviving such pain and creating ART. That's pure Hope and help. Sometimes ALL you need is tô know that someone endured the same shit as you. Maybe broken maybe not, but there is a way. That's what I fell when I hear this song. Sorry for the longe time to respond. But is not a easy subject for me.

[@Green-Lyon]

@@felipegaldino9336 Agreed. This past year was a real rough one for me. Discovering Nightwish early last year brought me many comforting and joy-filled moments that kept me sane. So many people in the Nightwish community have expressed the same thing.

[@bkeyser]

This one has become a special song for me; unfortunately relatable. Whenever I need a pick up I come here. Your sweet reaction always helps. Hope you're well, Elvann.

[@Bloodyria]

You're adorable, I love how excited and emotional you get! I was somewhere there in that crowd, crying my heart out. I've been in love with NW for 15 years and that was the most magical day ever! I've seen them before but the setlist was epic and it got immortalized in this epic bluray!! I was amazed by Tarja but honestly, I think Floor makes everything better. She just makes the songs her own and brings them to life with more soul than ever. Can't wait to see them again this May ♡

Floor isn't just a TECHNICAL singer. She is an emotional singer. That's the key. She loads everything with FEELS!

[@igors1208]

IMHO she is BOTH technical and emotional - THAT's the key..

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

@@igors1208 Yes.. indeed.. Technique on itself is empty. But for a strong emotional person like Floor technique can help to make the expression of emotion easier: she can concentrate on the emotion where lesser singers would be struggling to get the notes out...

[@johto]

Liked your reaction (again) while listening this song. My opinion as a old Nightwish fan from the late '90's, there is no doubt. This Floor's renditions is the pinnacle.❤️

[@magnuscarlsson9969]

I acctually enjoyed alot of instrumental rearrangements of the older songs. The slight alterations were probably made to keep Troy present with them on stage, but the changes was really well made and many songs was performed with double guitars etc. so it didn't feel pushed. What I enjoyed most with the Decades tour was the great vibe, everyone seemed so happy just being togheter on tour.

[@Tamm1965]

Its a wonderfull piece of music. All hail Tuomas. For Floor the point is she does not sing. She puts an emotional spell on every word that comes out of her mouth and plants it in you heart.

[@ibenbakandersen]

Exactly. Floor has so much personality and emotional presence when she sings that it cannot help but affect the listener (unless you are an incarnate Tarja fan and / or opera fan. But then it is more the technique and the sound you are looking for than the actual overall musical expression).

[@mattwilcoxuk]

It’s an excellent performance. I need to check this concert out - I thought Wacken was perfection but... if it’s all like this... wow

[@ebbenielsen7]

Wacken is good. This concert is too - but different.

[@davesmith4778]

I like the song set from Wacken better. I did see this tour live and it was incredible.

[@ebbenielsen7]

It is nice to hear a lot of the old songs in this concert with Floor. But yes the set list was better in Wacken.

[@richardgoddard37]

Some songs are definitely better than Wacken, and some aren't. Thankfully you can get both on bluray and make your own mind up😁

[@demise0]

This concert is exceptional. But with the exception of Amaranth, any other song performed both here and at Wacken, I prefer the Wacken version. Especially Wacken Ever Dream. I think the only reason I'm not a fan of Wacken Amaranth is that I never liked the use of the audience to sing some lines of a song, I want it performed by the artists. This concert adds so many new and incredibly well performed songs to my "Floor Jansen in Nightwish" official live collection (i.e. well recorded live songs that have no studio version with Floor).

[@nataliamelo4529]

I think I expected to be more operatic knowing all the talent Floor has, but still, its an amazing performance and it is so awesome to hear this song again in live shows!!

Dear Elvann, your reaction was sweet and worth the while watching it! This, with "Gethsemane", is my "initial" favorite song from NIGHTWISH, and one of the key songs to understand Tuomas' lyrical world. Already incredibly moving back then, now it has been recorded with power and faith in every word that opens a new, triumphant perspective. In this version, the "boy" perseveres! :) And - I truly hope "Dead Boy's Poem" shall be underrated no more - if it ever was...
