Vocal Coach Reacts to NIGHTWISH 'Ghost Love Score' (Official LIVE)

[@kpsmorera]

I once heard someone saying: “Singers sing what they can.... But Floor Jansen sings what she wants...” This definitely proves it

[@572Btriode]

And neither you, or they, are wrong.

[@z0rchain230]

lesson learned: even professionals can't escape the floorgasm.

[@TheStefan6969]

Fantastic!! I came for the FLOORgasm!!! 🤘❤️🤘

[@kpsmorera]

I would think they are more likely to have one since their ears are deeply trained, and since that A flat is like honey poured over a thunder, the extasi hits hard 🤘🏻

[@gabriel.bardac]

Hello. LOVED your reaction. Since this is your first Nightwish experience, I will give you "The Ann Waychoff" speech (a short / concentrated history of the band): 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 I would like to recommend "Ever Dream" (Live at Wacken 2013) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6iqhHR8ltd7iMk Thank you.

[@bramilan]

Any news about Ann's condition?

[@Piia2023]

@@bramilan Ann is home, resting and recovering from a fall at the hospital that had some injures on her back. She needs rest, hopefully she will be here soon again.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Only Tarja's 3 first almums were operatic fashion, her 2 last albums were contemporary style (same styles as Anette's and Floor's). Anette's voice is bright, but since she has always sung in rock and metal bands and albums, it's really stupid to call her poppy. Bright voice doesn't mean pop.

[@theorc9098]

If you want to see the true range of this band, then I highly reccomend the Wembley live version of The Poet And The Pendulum. The song is in five parts and written by the keyboard player after their previous singer left the band. The two were very close and he contemplated suicide. He wrote the song instead, symbolically killing himself within it. I defy you not to tear up if you decide to watch it. Floor's voice is on another level on it. I promise you won't be disappointed.

[@PabloGarcia-sj5pm]

No fue por la vocalista anterior(Anette), fue por Tarja, la primer vocalista.

[@thedragon6480]

Everything you said is true. I would just clarify that the pain he wrote about was for the first singer, Tarja, not for the last singer in the bad, Anette. I'm sure you meant exactly that, but people who are not familliar with the band might interpret it as being about Anette.

[@ChrisPhoenixMusic]

Indeed it was about Tarja, not Anette. It's important to keep it clear that Anette became ill and left on good terms with the band, whereas Tarja was fired, quite reluctantly. It was particularly painful for Tuomas because Tarja was a founding member and they were close for years, but she drifted apart from the band and began to act cold toward them. She was fired immediately after "End Of An Era" was filmed, and the band had to take a hiatus for a couple years to collect themselves in order to move forward. All things considered, Anette was a great singer, but she was a transitional piece, whereas Floor brings new life to the band (as you can see in this video). They returned to Wacken again in 2018 and also put on a very good performance, though I watched the DVD and wanted to slap the mixing engineer during the first couple songs. Anyway... more Nightwish reaction videos would be stellar, I agree. Floor is top notch.

[@night_ethereal]

@@ChrisPhoenixMusic Well Tarja said in an interview for a magazine (I read the interview, it was worldwide, can't remember the name of the magazine now) that she preferred to listen to Whitney Houston over Nightwish, and this was before she was fired, so no wonder. It's one thing to say that to a friend or whatever but not so good in a magazine article about the band that you are in.

[@swordablaze9259]

It's not surprising that she prefers listening to a singer that's not her. If you ask actors whether they watch their own movies, most of them cringe. I'd think it more vanity if she was her favourite singer to listen to.

[@PAN_Outdoor]

I can listen to and watch that song 1 mio. times..i get goosebumps and emotional EVERY SINGLE TIME..

Yes, before she joined Nightwish she was doing online vocal lessons. Now she's in a Wembley Arena-level band she probably dfoesn;t need to do that anymore. But as a result she has an incredible amount of training, discipline and touring experience. So she is note-perfect every show, which is what a band like Nightwish needs..

[@blindguardian1979]

@@schneevongestern9898 yeah, I'd agree that Floor made this song her own even if originally written for Tarja's vocals. With that said, there are songs that I think Tarja sings better live and videos where she has great crowd interaction (if you're referring to the "end of an Era" concert, it's well known Tarja had a flu that night)

[@schneevongestern9898]

@@blindguardian1979 tarjas singing with nightwish was magical. Especially with oceanborn. Until wishmaster. After that album her voice changed severely. What until then was a naturally flowing, lyrical and fantastic singing voice turned into something else. The vibrato became super slow and artificial, almost a wobble. the placement in the operatic range became big and dramatic and to my taste unpleasant. I do like her and many of the songs she sung with nightwish and solo. She has some glorious vocal moments and great solo music. But it's an obvious fact that floors range of tone and expression obliterates tarjas. Tarjas tone and expression are rather limited. And by no means she is a fully formed classical singer. she sings in that classical placement a lot and she's good at it but that's all. And with this song here, tarja fades to grey compared to how floor delivers it. The studio version of ghost love score is plain boring. The vocals are the least important ingredient. The main feels and the orchestra and overall sound are dominant.With floor, they become the main ingredient. Next to the drums. Floors vocals are supreme in any aspect. Phonation, resonance, placement, diction, projection, expression, variety, resilience, dynamics, breath support. She's a master and highly proficient in any of these aspects. You can give her almost anything and she will sing it perfectly. From almost death metal to pop to classical and a thousand nuances in between. Plus, floors stage presence is cinematic and a league of its own. Like I said. I love and enjoy and respect tarja. But floor is the far greater singer. One can still dislike her simply because one simply dislikes the sound of her voice. But apart from personal preference, she's outstanding. And I don't hype her as a person. I don't know her. maybe I'd hate her. But her singing skill is remarkable.

[@carolcoates3750]

Wow, wow and wow! That was stupendous, reminding me of 'Pirates, Conan and Enya' all entwined. Had goose-bumps all the way through, a fantastic epic performance by all performers!

The standing joke is that they have a wizard on keyboards, a viking on bass, a pirate on drums, a druid on pipes, an elf on guitar, and Xena Warrior Princess singing for them, so it's basically everybody's fantasy band. Glad you liked it. ;-)

[@michaelvondrake7489]

Those compulsory reactions of goosebumps, loss of breath, shivers and tears are known as a "Floorgasm". Witnessing it live as the audience has a full mix of reactions that includes people fainting or having to take a knee in a struggle to compose themselves, is something to truly behold.

[@jasminwolf7412]

Love Nightwish, love Floor and her voice. She is the Queen.... finally you did this video ☺️ please do more of her

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Floor is their 3rd and current female lead vocalist. All of them are sopranos, but Floor is the most versatile and can sing anything from pop to opera with great emotion and stage presence. She joined her first metal band "After Forever" at age 16 to be their lead vocalist. She first joined NIghtwish on stage in 2012 and learned their entire setlist of their world tour in 48 hours. She became full member of the band in 2013.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

She isn't the most versatile. All the vocal coaches say Floor doesn't sing in quite classical voice. Honest Vocal Coach says it too: 02:55 "ALMOST a classical technique" and 08:65 "Ok, classical tone again, SLIGHTLY dropped larynx, making a BIT more of a 'oooh' sound." (Classical voice is with lowered larynx). Floor says herself that she doesn't have much classical education (she has only 1 year). Nightwish had a siger who does both classical and contemporary singing, though, and her name is Tarja. Should one have classical voice in Nightwish? There's 3 albums (Tarja's earliest albums) made for operatic style, but one CAN do new arrangements of songs, so you don't necessarily need to sing classical way, nor sing songs from the earliest albums. Tarja's two last albums were contemporary singing, (and this is from her last album).

[@ArumesYT]

@@Aurinkohirvi I don't think you understand the meaning of the word "versatile".

Floor, by the way, stands 6-1 in bare feet.....6-5 in those boots; that really adds to her amazing stage presence during the orchestral interlude, we have 83,000 headbangers in absolute silence!

[@kerimmejdoub1381]

You would also like "the Poet and the Pendulum" live at wembley 2016, her range is so versatile there! And so much emotion in that song if you would know more about the history of the band and what that song means.

[@ShellTramaine]

It’s great just to see the singer stand still and let the voice and phrasing be the centre of attention. Its beautifully powerful. It’s so hard to find balance in this genre without being overpowered by the huge sound. Floor is the frontwoman and you can tell the musicians respect that. Bravo all round and good critique 👏🏼x

@Sam. Floor Jansen has studied opera only a year. She has studied musical theatre, as well. She never considered to become classical singer, as in opera.

[@Rock-Metal91]

Jari Seppälä Yes, but she is classically trained, maybe not to the in-depth extent of Tarja, but she still is.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish! You just saw Floor Jansen singing and got what we like to call your first Floorgasm. You have seen a fraction of what she, and the rest of the band, is capable of. They do have some heavier music, but they also have more folk metal, ballads, some really powerful, ethereal and emotional stuff. They do it all. I'll let my fellow Nightwish fans inundate you with requests, there is so much to see from this band and this vocalist. Also well worth checking out the original vocalist, Tarja.

[@sonjaemery]

OMG I never clicked on a video so fast! I was thinking of requesting this and here it is. I saw Nightwish last December in Birmingham and they performed this in the encore...........the whole show was amazing. Nightwish have a huge back catalogue with a wide range of styles...heavy, folky, ballads, soft metal etc......they do it all. I love all three singers but my favourite happens to be Anette(2nd singer). I look forward to you doing more Nightwish! If you want another epic journey then I recommend ‘The greatest show on earth’ live at Tampere. Another symphonic metal band I highly recommend is Epica. The vocalist is the stunning Simone Simons......has the voice of an angel. Will come up with some requests and post them down below!

Yes, Floor is amazing! Phenomenal! And her stage presence... like a goddess who put a spell on people and commands them! Yes, she has years of classical training. Floor Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Nope, only one year classical training in Tilburg Conservatorium. Floor says herself she doesn't have "extensive" training into it (yeah really, tarja has 9 years of formal classical training and since that a private pupil of at least 2 classical sining professors, of which the other is Argentinian opera singer). Even in this video she says: 02:55 "ALMOST a classical technique" 08:56 "Ok, classical tone again, SLIGHTLY dropped larynx, making a BIT more of a 'oooh' sound." Notice the ALMOST, SLIGHTLY and BIT. Vocal coaches Beth Roars and Zach made the very same point Floor isn't good as a classical singer.

Thank you for reacting to this! I loved the reaction

[@SoulFullOfMusic81]

I loved your "kid in a candy store" face impression throughout the whole video. Floor is outstanding, everybody's outstanding!

I love Nightwish and Floor Jansen! She's a great vocalist, really versatile and just amazing on stage. At the beginning of her career, she said she was a dramatic soprano (she took a year of opera classes, so I suppose that's where she was classified). I do not know how much time and age has changed her tessitura, but, at least to my ear, she still sounds more like a soprano than mezzo? I can be wrong because I know next to nothing compared to a pro like you though, haha. And yes, she has had extensive vocal training, learning different techniques (opera, rock, even growling). And she's also a vocal coach herself! Though I'm not sure she practices that these days. Thank you for your insight, and I'm glad you reacted to the band, even though it's not your preferred genre.

The day someone reacts to Nightwish consecutively will be a great day. Today is not that day. Just everyone reacting to this one performance. It is a journey, from the first singer through to the current singer.

[@SnakeM98]

For someone who probably would have never heard Nightwish in her life I think today is a great day, because youtube, reaction channels etc. allow you to introduce yourself to new music. So as I said, if it wasnt for us she probably would've never experienced how good this was, because of that today is a great day!

That drummer, ARMS of STEEL.. Dang every time I watch this, my arms cramp.. :-(

[@nevermoreinthedark6313]

Wait till you really hear her growl or scream 😂😂 Your analysis was very cool to watch, you must be an incredible coach!! Cheers!

[@hazelangus]

Hooray! Thank you so much for doing this. Your grin said it all. :-) If you'd like to hear more, I can certainly recommend Romanticide, also from Wacken 2013. The bassist, Marko, can sing too and The Islander live at Tampere is good for hearing him solo. They did Phantom of the Opera with their first frontwoman Tarja (she's more of a classical specialist) and Marko also sings on that.

[@hazelangus]

Oooh, just to forewarn you since you spoke about not liking the heavier stuff, Romanticide is heavier in terms of the guitar and drums. The vocals are really fun though, which is why I suggested it. If you like these songs that take you on a journey, The Poet and the Pendulum (live from Wembley) certainly does that. Very emotional song which Tuomas wrote after they fired their first singer and Tuomas got an avalanche of hatred from fans for the way he did it. He has stated that he committed suicide in the song rather than doing it in real life, or words to that effect. If you want to see something utterly ridiculous that is Nightwish's most epic song to date, The Greatest Show on Earth (live at Tampere). It's about the creation of the entire cosmos, Earth, animals, humanity and the end of the world (or end of humankind, anyway). So it's not a short one - I think it's 24 minutes, something like that. In five movements. Great vocals that really push even her abilities and some varied use of the voice, though like I say, maybe too long.

Floor is AWESOME!

[@josejesuscontrerassalazar9140]

Yay! More Nightwish reaction videos

[@BruceBebe]

By the way nothing else can say about Floor's voice, everybody knows how good she sings, I knew about her when she was with After Forever and she was always amazing, I just wanted to say there's so much great singer's out of popular music, this is just one example. Thanks for react to Nightwish!

[@analaura748]

Wooo me encanta el hecho de estar abierta a un género que se ve que no frecuenta. Me encanta la honestidad al dar su opinión. En mi opinión, la mejor de las 3 vocalistas.

[@raphaelcms10]

Such amazing intro. 😍😂

[@ieradossantos]

The most powerful voice on earth. Nobody comes close. Go ahead, sing this song like her, I dare you. She opens at 2:26 and the way she sounds it is not something I can put into words, a siren. I'd instantly follow that voice into darkness. She does it again at 3:26, I don't think I've listened to a more pure sounding sound in my pathetic existence. 4:16 is another example, that 'memory' is something else. The entire song is drizzled with genius, fuck me

[@yourown8364]

The honest vocal coach I love you keep making vids u rock !!

[@d00mch1ld]

I would say this piece is probably the pinnacle of it's genre.

[@weibsvolken7150]

Great reaction, thank you! Yeah, Floor is our goddess and she can even do so much more than what you've heard here. Best of all is her using that amazing mix at her disposal to really get into the song and make you feel the emotions behind it. This, combined with her amazing stage presence, also makes her the perfect singer for Nightwish, because Tuomas (the keyboarder and main composer of the band) likes to tell stories in his songs. If you want to compare her with the first Nightwish singer (Tarja Turunen) and get a glimpse of their male singer (Marco, also plays bass), do their interpretation of Phantom of the Opera from the End of an Era concert. I can promise you will love it! Thanks again and have fun!

[@alerodriguez5778]

Heaven, how The hell this perfect women exist!

[@pdl6776]

[@8484terry]
