Vocal Coach Reacts to Floor Jansen singing Ghost Love Score

[@danieferreira9094]

To quote someone else, “Most signers sing what they can or feel comfortable with. Floor sings what she wants!”

[@flyfishingidaho3325]

[@danbern6422]

This is from Wacken 2013. All songs from that show are awesome. I suggest - Storytime, Song of Myself, Ghost River from that concert.

[@maartenvos379]

Best female( and most versatile) singer in the world period! and can you imagine that most people here in the netherlands( as she is dutch) found this really out in 2019( this was wacken 2013)?.. As she performed on dutch tv show beste zangers...all of her performances were amazing( and the faces of anazement of the fellow dutch singers priceless) she did it all, opera,pop, in german in dutch in english and even in spanish..with the highlight the best phantom of the opera performance ever she did with henk poort..you will be amazed check it out!

[@Nikioko]

Most versatile? Maybe. Best? A very risky statement. She is good at everything, but against a top notch specialist of a certain style she would definitely lose. Let her sing the Queen of the night against Anna Netrebko, and I would bet on Anna. Let her sing the Phantom of the Opera against Sarah Brightman, and Sarah would win. And let her sing Wishwaster against Tarja, and Tarja would win.

[@TheGrimmReaper1]

@@Nikioko turn it around and then ask yourself, could all the performers you sum up do the same as floor. Hell no the cant. They are hooked in one style while floor can sing everthing. So compare to specialists is dumb as hell. So no pont taken . Show me each of them do the same at any style and do it better then floor you win. But i can tell you right now you loose big time. Btw my 2 cents on your topic.

[@Nikioko]

@@TheGrimmReaper1 You obviously don't get the point and seemingly don't want to get it. I invited you to look for new horizons but you prefer to stay in familiar waters and claim to have seen the world although yyou know so little. "Floor can sing everything" is just a statement that can easily be denied. Just a drop in a lake. Sure she can do a lot, but by far she can't do everything. I really would like to listen to her singing in a vocal ensemble where she has to sing with 3, 5 or 7 other people. She has a very strong and dominant voice which is absolutely unsuitable for that. I heard from an opera choir director that the most difficult thing is to form 20 or 40 professionals to a unit. The stronger the vibrato, the bigger the difficulty. Another point: If you study music, or anything else, you eventually reach the point where you have to specialise. Just because other people work in that niche they have chosen doesn't mean that they can't do anything else. I recently heard in a video about a comparison with Pat Benatar. Well, Pat Banatar has her typical rock style of singing we know from the 80s, but she is also a studied opera singer like her mother. So, just because she doesn't sing opera doesn't mean she can't. There is a difference between what people can do and what they actually do. Floor does a lot and shows a lot, but there are also things she doesn't do. All these examples when she sings "operatic": Tarja is an opera singer singing the traditional style (though she took some pop lessons), Floor isn't. She sings something that sounds somewhat like opera but in fact isn't. Floor is more like a musical theatre cross-over singer like Sarah Brightman. I hope you know that The Phantom of the Opera isn't an opera but a musical. Voice is such an individual instrument that in the high end the technical differences are marginal but the individual anatomy maked them distinguishable. And finally you haven't understood Nightwish's song. In The Greatest Show on Earth, they quote Dawkins: "But who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton." And of course singers greater than Floor. She is truly a great singer but definitely not the best singer in the world. At least not by valid standards.

[@TheGrimmReaper1]

@@Nikioko hihihi. Unborn and then greater then. ???? Oh i know phantom is a musical.! And i didnt say floor is the greatest. Only she can do more then you give her credit for. She does almost every style. Rock. Opera. Metal, growls even dead growls. Jazz. I can see the way you write you haven't explore youtube in case of floor. And you are asuming that i am boxed in.

Hello @ Rise Academy! Nightwish Army incoming here, your reaction just appeared on our radar.. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in Wacken Open Air 2013, in front of 82k+ metal fans. Your reaction speak for itself, you love it.. :) Since this is your first Nightwish experience, I'll give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan: " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. 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 is a permanent addition. 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 heard 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, Decades 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.

If you have not already, check out the commentary she recorded to go with Spotify playlist of Human Nature when it came up, i think it was called Metal Talks or something like that. I think that's the most detail I've heard her go into about her training. As for Rock Academy, she had said many times it was not quite adequate,, she was already with AF and was not getting what she needed.

The nice thing for a vocal coach reacting to Nightwish is, any performance from this Wacken show, the Wembley or Tampere ones in 2015 or the Buenos Aires one are fantastic and will cover a multitude of vocal techniques, range, syncopation, etc. you name it she sings it. Also she was on a TV show in her home country of the Netherlands called Beste Zingers, where she covered songs from other artists, in numerous music styles, from an aria, to a musical, to latin music, to Lady Gaga, etc. which are all fantastic. 😀

Floor is a metal singer who is trained in operatic singing not an opera singer dabbling in metal. She joined her first metal band,after forever, at 16. Nightwish's original lead singer Tarja was a opera singer who was friends at university(they were all studying music) with the Keyboardist Tuomas(who is the main songwriter)and the gutairist Emppu .

[@joycehill2591]

Not to knit pick, but the three were friends long before university. As a matter of fact Tuomas had to change the entire coarse for Nightwish after hearing Tarja sing upon returning from university and how different she sounded. Out with the mellow folk tunes, in with the symphonic metal!

Greetings from Finland. Floor is not classically trained in the full meaning of the words. She only studied musical theater & opera part-time for two years, but quit because she wanted to have more freedom to experiment with her vocals & mix different styles of singing. She's also a vocal coach, but nowadays she's too busy with Nightwish & her other projects to practice any coaching. She's most likely the most versatile & talented female metal vocalist of our time.

For your next Nightwish reaction. Floor Jansen is the 3rd and still current female lead singer of Nightwish (est. 1996) She had been with the band for little over 10 months at the time of this concert on 03 August 2013, when she was 32. Starting from the age of 16 she had been the lead singer in two other S. Metal Bands, 'After Forever' & 'Revamp' before joining NW. Those goosebumps and chills are known as 'Floorgasms' to NW fans.

Therefore, don't ever use fast forward or skip something in transitions, build-ups or between chapters - you will miss points. Nightwish are 6 extremely pro musicians, from Tuomas acknowledged as one of the best composers in the world - to Floor, acknowledged as the greatest, most powerful, versatile female singer currently in the world - she is a voice nerd, who develops her own voice techniques, and she has also incredible dialog with the audience. There are two other really really pro singers in the band, and together those 3 are unique on the Symphonic Metal scene today.

If you want to watch entire performances uncut then watching reaction vids isn't the place to go as copyright act makes this type of thing necessary, just watch the complete vid on their own channel and quit moaning.

It is with love and empathy that I say: a reaction vid can be expected to have pauses in which reactions can be given. Cuts and skips are something else: like in Monty Python: "skip a bit brother" i.e. "not interesting" or "my attention span isn't that long"; or the presumed attention span of the viewers isn't! I think it is a pity that the song as a unity, a given atmosphere is sacrificed with that. Fans can be thrown out of the happy experience... However, it is her choice.

[@bleaksnatcher]

@@benbermusicsI totally agree music should be uninterrupted without horrible skips it is an insult to the composer and performers. Pauses are not so bad as you still get the benefit of the composition in the way it was written and intended.

[@benbermusics]

@@bleaksnatcher Agreed. I fear we, the subscribers, are part of the problem. In our requests we are hyping singers like Floor to vocal coaches/professional singers to react on them. Together we tend to put an over focus on the tricks a vocalist can do - because she is great! E.g. phenomenal reach! From that point it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy... Things beside the singing and the tricks become obligatory surroundings and can be sacrificed because they are not what it's all about. Floor stands her ground but her delivering of "tricks" is always serving to express the lyrics and feel of the song. In this, she cannot flourish without the band members and you can feel their mutual appreciation. We, the fans, love this glorious mixture. It is totally different from solo global stars like Dimash. They go on stage to deliver acrobacy. For me the ears register but my heart is not reached... I think all in all this was a positive reaction and I appreciate her very much, especially for speaking out in the racial problems now erupting all over USA.

Their entire Wacken 2013 is legendary on par with Metallica in Moscow and Queen at Live Aid.

[@tommyjohnson9175]

Them being symphonic metal allows them to take their music in several different directions. They have the long epic multipart full production type songs like Ghost Love Score, The Poet and the Pendulum or The Greatest Show on Earth.. Then they have several of the more classic thrash heavy metal style songs like Romanticide, Song of Myself or Dark Chest of Wonders.. They even have a very celtic rock sound going on in songs like E'lan or My Walden.. You chose, but the Nightwish Army loves it all..

[@jasonobanion6533]

Hello Tina - First let me say that I appreciate all your efforts in reacting to all styles of music and think you did a great job. When it comes to Nightwish don’t worry about the length of the video. Some songs of there’s are long by just about anyone’s standards others are not but that is part of the journey and Thomas’s (composer) musical thought. Even if you choose not to publicly react to more songs I highly in courage you to dive deeper into there catalog as a musician I think you would appreciate the musicianship of all the artists. To the community... I am new here so could someone explain to me why this reaction has, at the time I’m typing this 103 negatives. Is it because Tina decided to skip a little of the interlude? If this is the case I would remind all of you who are angry that this is a vocal coach reaction channel and there will be pauses and skips. If you wish to listen to the song without stops and skips I suggest you go to the official Nightwish KZbin channel. On the other hand if it is simply because this isn’t your kind of music I can respect that but music is defined as: vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. I believe Music in all it’s forms should be appreciated because like the definition says it expresses our emotions even if we can’t. Something to think about: Think of all your major life moment’s... How many of those moments involved music in some way. Of those moments that involved music how many styles...

As someone who went to see live music 5 nights a week every week yeah I miss it and the folks I go out with

[@jamesattwood8235]

Prepare for an onslaught of comments from the Nightwish Army. Wonderful to see people still just now finding Nightwish. All three of their leads have been impressive in their own way. You should probably rush to check them all out. You won't be disappointed.

[@noridzwannordin6416]

The fact that you shout out Guthrie and the Aristocrats is awesome. Extremely underrated band, arguably the most talented prog trio right now.

[@RiseAcademyofMusic]

Completely agree! You may like the band XYZ too, let me know what you think!

[@extraphobic7710]

Would give my left arm to see them live Also, sounds like either a vacuum cleaner or plane in the background

Floor Jansen started singing in rock bands when she was 16 You might like this from a Dutch TV show floorJansen phantom of the opera beste zangers 2019

[@slash-1971]

Nightwish are my favourite band, but beware the intolerant fans who don't like skipping bits of the song. They probably won't like the Evanescence comparison either, although one of their albums sold more copies than the whole discography of Nightwish. Glad you liked the song, this whole concert is a masterclass of live performance 🤘

[@RiseAcademyofMusic]

Thanks @slash1971 Unfortunately I cannot create a reaction to everyone's taste and that is ok. However, projecting negativity across a channel that promotes positivity and the love of all music is not something that will be welcome on this page. It's the old school saying that if you have nothing nice or constructive to say, don't say it at all.

[@lekalla]

Nightwish has grown steadily like in metal it usually is. They are one of biggest European bands of their generation now after 24 years. Evanescence has very different story. Their biggest success came right after their debut album. It was the time in early 2000's when alternative rock/metal and nu metal was very popular. Linkin Park's debut album also came out back then and was huge success.

[@patchouli2274]

@@RiseAcademyofMusic I will not say it.

[@haralds9996]

I would assume that most of us love Evanescence and Ami Lee (have an album and blueray), although Floor Jansen / Nightwish are unmatched esp. when it comes to live performances; btw. the amount of sold albums does not say anything at all about the quality.

Oh no! Skipped over a bit. Don't ever do this with Nightwish. Loved your reaction apart from this.

[@artcaz7265]

you re gonna enjoy that ride with nightwish and Floor Jansen....

[@maddermax74]

cant wait to see her cover Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session) now there a woman with some crazy vocals and is rock/heavy metal for you ;)

[@Nikioko]

Amy Lee? This was a league above Amy Lee. ;-) It is funny that it seems that in the US people only know Evanascence. In Europe, there are many symphonic metal bands with a female singer: Epica, The Gathering, Within Temptation, Haggard, Rhapsody of Fire, Therion, Xandria, Delain etc. You might want to listen to one of these. And most of these bands are either from Sweden, Finland, Germany or the Netherlands.

[@geromino2007]

for vocally really challengin stuff, listen the Nightwish new album Human Nature. Would be nice to have more reactions for this Wacken 2013 concert. Every song is golden. Rock musical type of song try: Ghostriver. More heavier stuff try: Romanticide. More celtic wipe try: I want my tears back.

[@Biggrandpa]

Floor is metal singer who can do opera. She is the front woman of Nightwish. Try Romanticide next. This is where you can see she is a metal singer.

[@madddog6790]

Actually, Floor's had very little (year or two at most) straight opera training, and has said it's not her favorite style. Even in this song, she doesn't really do much of it. Check out the Tampere '15 version of Stargazers or Villa Leid from Beste Zangers to see her go "full" opera. Oh, and as for the G3 & Guthrie Govan shoutouts...um, will you marry me hahaha? Guthrie is an amazing players (same with Satch, Vai, and Lukather). I've seen a couple of the G3 shows over the years...they're always great. Saw Vai on his last tour...great show, but *crushingly* loud. I usually don't use ear plugs, but I was wishing I had 'em for that show. I didn't get a pick from Steve, but I did snag a drumstick from Jeremy Colson \m/

[@paulhayward8459]

Guys, Cut Coach Tina a little slack here for fast-forwarding slightly through the interlude, by doing so indicates that this was her first viewing and she wouldn't have known how long it would last !! If you have a look at her other reactions, most are not more than 6 minutes, so this was a biggie 😉 As for the "girl" comment, I'm sure Floor would be flattered, considering she was 32 at the time 😊😊 In my opinion Tina gave a fair, honest and respectful critique to a performance and performers she had never experienced before !! By her comments at the end I think she really enjoyed it !! 😊😊

[@slash-1971]

Agreed! But Nightwish fans are the most intolerant bunch when it comes to reactions. If anyone does or says anything bad they can't take it. You can tell she definitely liked the song though 👍

[@SilverCreek24]

@@slash-1971 If a reactor is disrespectful, a fan of any band or artist won't like it. Nightwish has pretty big and active fanbase here in KZbin so it's easy to label them as "intolerant". :) But they will also encourage other people to keep exploring the music when they see them falling in live with the band. We are a family. ^_^

[@marcbaur677]

I allways skip this part of the Song too. 😁

[@tadhg1959]

You are a beautiful reaction!! To me, your lips are the most beautiful reaction of this reaction! Very beautiful reaction!!

[@darenjones1561]

Mentioning Guthrie got my attention , not many know his awesome slippery skills lol

[@k1hasard]

Some of these comments are hilarious!! Self appointed Nightwish ambassadors, how to instructions for someone else's channel and complaining about skipping a time fill which is ear candy to me, but not part of a voice reaction obviously. If everyone was as smart as these people the world would be a better place.... All that nonsense aside, I enjoyed this reaction and I like watching you when you enjoy a song, it is a treat for me. I love this song and have seen dozens of reactions to it and watched the video on its own several times. These guys are great musicians, and Floor Jansen is an excellent singer. I don't know off hand any current live performances I would like to see, but if I could turn back time, I would love to see Pink Floyd, Boston, Rush, Tears For Fears, or the Alan Parsons Project live. I could go on and on with the list, but those are the top bands that come to mind at the moment. Stay safe out there and thanks for sharing this reaction!

[@LuvtheJEm]

If you want to see what Floor can really do, check out her previous band ReVamp a song called Wild Card kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWmooH6Ldqd-fNE this is her doing hard rock/metal.

[@sebastiannastvogel7438]

Imo she is not an opera singer she is a clasicly trained metal vocalist. If you watch "Your's an empty hope" from Nightwish or Disdain from Revamp you will see the difference.

[@TedinCalgary1952]

Re: Q: Live show I would most like to see?: Currently there is no show on earth that can beat Rammstein. Here is a link to one of the best fan-shot videos I have found from their recent tour: KZbin.com/watch?v=Bzy5C4xwhvU. Or the best example of the sheer size of their massive light and pyrotechnics display: KZbin.com/watch?v=ST6qj-v-8Ys. For Symphonic Metal, I might enjoy watching "Imperial Age" from Russia. Three singers: two female soprano and one male tenor: see esp. their recent "Official Video -- Legacy of Atlantis": KZbin.com/watch?v=uv-yZkRd0fE. Co-founder Evgeniya (Jane) Odintsova was previously a medical doctor in Russia (gynecologist), leaving that for opera and co-founding the band in 2012. Fellow soprano Anna Moiseeva is a classical pianist (she posts videos of this on her webpage), who completed the basic 4-year music degree at her local college, then entered, and in 2019 successfully completed, the further 5-year Specialist Degree: "Director of Musical Theater" at the Russian Institute of Theater Arts in Moscow (GITIS). The video uses a backing orchestra and choir; I don't know which orchestra, but the choir used was the Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory Chamber Choir, conducted by Taras Yasenkov, Assistant Professor at the Moscow State Conservatory. (Do you have any opinions on the GITIS institute or the Moscow State Conservatory -- e.g. high, low, medium quality training?). Hope this helps; have a great weekend!

Try Rajaton, "Butterfly" (live), an a cappella group from Finland.

Highly recommend "Romanticide" from this same concert. It showcases a bit different style for Floor and the band - it's awesome.

The buildup right at the point was the beginning of the next act. So much tension in the way she walked out after the beat kicked back in the following shot just before she begins to again sing...and you missed it, and we missed your reaction to it. Tragic.

[@HellcatM]

I miss seeing live music too! I use to go a couple times a month to a club to see live bands. I actually have tickets (that were postponed) to see Jinjer and another concert in Vegas with Scorpions and Queensryche. I'm hoping at some point I'll be able to see them. I'm betting on it by not asking for a refund in fear that tickets will double or more when this pandemic is over.

An as good as this is. There is so much more. Some heavier, more epic, longer, more thought provoking, even more vocally challenging. An with even more singers. Wait till you hear Floor, Marco, Troy harmonies.

Check out Moriah Formica - Better Off Alone She is an up and coming singer/songwriter who was on the voice a couple years ago. She has been compared to Ann Wilson/Lzzy Hale/Amy Lee (Or more like a combination of all three)

I noticed that you were amazed by the ending. You were as Nightwish fans called, "Floorgasm". I know that you run a singing and music academy because I mentioned that is Floor Jansen is also a vocal coach too. By the way, Floor Jansen has her own KZbin channel. You probably subscribe to her channel and talk shop plus about Nightwish.
