I don't think so. Ms Tara Simon seems to know her stuff well. Even nothing that the music sounds it could be for a movie. Tuomas do love to listen to movie soundtracks by Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer. And in an interview, when asked about singers, he also mentioned Celine Dion - because of her technique. And she is right about Jukka being a good drummer keeping it just so. From her reactions, while she noted on Floor's technique as good, no mention about her voice's timbre and tone, about Floor's diction, intonation and phrasing. I frankly think Floor's techniques is risky. But, hey, she's a vocal coach before. Maybe she shows what she is doing.

[@schneevongestern9898]

1:being a vocal teacher yourself doesn't make you immune to mistakes. Psychologists can be crazy bitches themselves as well. Although her technique indeed is pristine and highly proficient, no question. I'd give a lot for a few sessions with her advise. 2: saying she's got an opera background is misleading. she had some rather basic classical training, but nothing very extensive. It enables her to access immense dramatic effect. But she truly reigns in contemporary singing. The whole package is outstanding.

[@Juvahh]

Nicolas Cardillo Hahaha that’s alright. I was already thinking “did they replace Floor too? Please nooo!”, lol. I used to like Tarja a lot (been in 2 Nightwish concerts myself and loved them, both with Tarja), but while I didn’t get to like Anette so much, I’m really enjoying Floor singing. I didn’t see Anette live, but I absolutely gotta see NW again now with Floor. It seems to me that she’s a more versatile singer than Tarja was... she was awesome, but more focused on the “operatic” part. Anyways, Nightwish always was and is a fabulous band with exceptional live performances. Let’s hope we get the chance to keep watching them live many times!

[@jesseheiman1806]

Tara, one of the things that is not mentioned very often is that this is a 15 song set and this performance was song number 13 in the set. Thus, she is doing all of those wonderful technical things, such as breath control, etc, after about an hour of performing. Now not all of Nightwish's songs are this long, but there are a lot of them that are similar in the amount of effort that Floor and the band have to put out on stage. The whole band is just amazing.

[@trinxikene]

@Talsong Kingslayer I'm sorry but that's not true, Floor is a lot better than Tarja, maybe not in opera style, but Floor can do whatever she wants, but Tarja can just sing opera, that's all. Nightwish is free now to do whatever they want, wich is great because the band have a lot more to offer that just the type of music that they used to do. Also you can watch an interview to Troy, he said that Floor can sing anything, wich is not the case for Tarja, so yeah Floor is a lot better singer than Tarja.

Floor is a goddess. Before the release of their last album, this was her favorite Nightwish song. She was performing her favorite song at the largest metal festival in the world--and she bleeding NAILED it. You need to check out "Greatest Show on Earth" by Nightwish. It's her best vocal performance to date (in my opinion). I've seen them live thrice, and it's spiritual.

[@mrz80]

The recording of this song from Buenos Aires in 2012 is astonishing. She'd only just joined the band full-time and people were clearly uncertain about the new singer, but by the end of this song she OWNED Argentina. :D The crowd's on their feet chanting "Floor! Floor! Floor! Floor!" One of the most magnificent vocal moments in rock.

[@davidsault9698]

She saw it all and made cogent comments. My only criticism is that she talked over some the most important voicing at the magnificent end of the song.

[@Delibro]

For that, hear the original video. If you sea a video of Tara, lots of technical explanations are in it. I think that's why people are here.

[@perwestermark8920]

I NEVER CLICKED LIKE BUTTON FASTER AND HARDER, BEFORE EVEN WATCHING THE VIDEO! I'm so happy you finally reacted to metal goddess Floor Jansen and I'm so happy you loved the complete band, since you mostly react on pop artists. The amazing fact is that Floor was singing very vocally demanding songs for an hour already, before singing Ghost love score and she doesn't even sound tired a bit. That's how great her technique is and her stage presence is awesome, she was totally commanding that crowd with her magic! The highest note she's hitting in the song fans named "Floorgasm"! :D Thank you for reacting!

Floor is pathetic if we compare her with Taria. Try listening the same songs and you will hear the difference, Floor's voice is much weaker. There is only one Valkyrie.

[@spdsf]

@@1Predatel1 You've noticed that except for yourself, no one here in dozens of comments has made any kind of comparison between Floor and Tarja. If you do not like it, do not see it, simple. Even if I prefer Floor to Tarja or Anette, that does not give me the right to insult them. I tell you, Tarja's voice was the reason I became a Nightwish fan, and when she left, I moved away from them for a few years. Until I hear Floor ... As many say, she is a Goddess, she is simply the meeting of the best vocal attributes of Tarja, along with Anette, with the bonus of rock voice she as. And therefore, she has an improved singing technique, and her presence on stage is sublime, the audience gets mesmerized. But this is just my opinion and personal taste, I will not go around saying that the others are pathetic. It is a matter of RESPECT.

So her statement is still accurate; maybe she spotted Troy at the back of the stage early on, even though he wasn’t a part of this song? She certainly seems to have done some research on the band prior to watching the video.

[@blackraven114]

@@DarkJediPrincess I think there's a bit of Troy's work around 7:20. There is actually a great example of the Uilleann pipes in a different song during this concert: Last of the Wilds.

[@hellkat71]

Yeah, uilleann pipes are the Irish version of bagpipes...most European countries have some version of the bagpipes.

[@warmonger12z]

I don't think Troy was a full time member of the band at this point - he did the pipe pieces, as well we other instruments, as a session musician IIRC

[@adnap]

Great video. I loved that you were so into it. If I may offer a bit of friendly criticism: From a viewer’s point of view, I felt that there could have been less talking/narrating during the song’s performance. I felt that there were times when you either missed, or near missed key moments. I agree with keeping the comments to a minimum and mostly vocal based and save the in-depth commentary for the instrumental sections. Just a thought.

[@mangalover0149]

jim Someone needs to slide into Nightwish. Their current singer is my favourite singer of all time. (Yes, I love her more than Dimash and Morissette.) This band is phenomenal live, and their studio is okay, but live is where it’s at.

[@TheZachh]

*insert Ann Waychoff'* Welcome to the Nightwish Nation! The band has been around since 1996 and pioneered the Symphonic Metal genre. The band was created by the keyboardist and composer, Tuomas Holopainen, who writes 95% of the music and lyrics, with the others being Marco (bassist). The singer is Floor Jansen, a legend in the metal world. The last note she hits is what we call a Floorgasm. This song is a sweeping epic love song with truly poetic lyrics. There is SO MUCH to this band that you'd appreciate if you react to more of their videos. Most people are going to try and sway you towarsd "Poet and the Pendulum", but I recommend you check out "Story Time" or "Romanticide" both from this show Wacken 2013. You'll be even MORE amazed at what Floor can do on those songs. She is also capable of growls (see "Yours Is An Empty Hope" official live video).

@Adam Blackstone "The band was created by the keyboardist and composer, Tuomas Holopainen" But What about Tarja Turunen and Emppu Vuorinen? They're all co-founders!

[@TheZachh]

Tuomas had the idea in his mind already and then asked Jukka and Emppu who were on board. Then asked Tarja. They all make up the band but he started it and it is following his vision / direction but with consideration of the other members input of course.

About the huge crowd ... This recording took place at the "Wacken open air", europe's (if not the world's) biggest Metal open air festival.

[@TontoEpstein]

This "recording" is right. Most of the sounds you're hearing are being piped in rather than being played live.

[@FadedLightBluePink]

@@TontoEpstein You are wrong. Yes, some backing choirs and symphonic parts are played from backing track. But not as much as you think. Tuomas has fancy keyboard and if you focus on him, a lot of symphonic parts (especially strings) are played by him. I maybe looks like his keyboard can't be heard, but it is not true. He is playing a lot of backing symphonic parts. Only it is not so obvious...

[@TontoEpstein]

@@FadedLightBluePink I'm not "wrong." If you want to hear how they'd really sound without the ridiculous amount of backing tracks, then find the videos of them on their 2004 American club tour, and then compare it to their last show in Finland in 2005 that was recorded for video and reeked of prerecorded backing tracks.

[@rickleblanc8900]

@@TontoEpstein the main reason is that touring with a full orchestra and choir is logistically difficult and expensive. They only seek to make the live performance sound as faithful as possible to the studio recording. Covering all bases imo. No worse than rap/hip hop "artists" shamelessly stealing outright and sampling music from others to create their own worthless hits and making gazillions. At least Nightwish are really talented musicians. And this is a pretty gloriously epic performance.

[@TontoEpstein]

@@rickleblanc8900 Why are you comparing them to rap artists, that's a concert joke, tool They don't need to pay a full orchestra, they need to play live with whatever they've got. If they can't do that, then don't tour.

They sound like girls with sweet voices singing pretty songs compared to Tarja, a woman with great timbre and tone who really made Nightwish sounds majestic and soulful. Without Tarja, Nightwish sounds like a technically good band playing bombastic and over wrought music. Still good. But no "magic" and distinctiveness as a symphonic metal band.
