A little bit about me..
Rebecca is a passionate Singer-Songwriter/Vocal coach/mentor /impressionist/photographer/creative junkie /self- development lover not a hater.
“I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well, maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2016. However, despite not being able to walk for a few weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and try to practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…we are all specks of dust…Also, thank you for all your support. It means a lot. I have suffered from anxiety from the past and self-confidence, (yeah hard to see now right) didn’t think I was ‘good, or worthy enough’ but I feel I have a new lease of life, don’t really care as much and want to show you guys what I have! : ) You are all awesome and without you, there would be no channel.

Phantom of the Opera is such a perfect song for this band that you'd think Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote it with them in mind. Their voices blend extremely well with each other, which isn't that easy to achieve for any duet. Also, quite frankly I think he's the best Phantom I've ever heard. His raspiness contrasts the soprano Christine like no other before him. Lastly let's not forget the overall amazing work they did in arranging the song and bringing their sound into the mix. Fantastic cover altogether.

Tarja being Tarja 😍 Unmatched vocal range and impeccable performance. I miss that time of Nightwish. The best singer I'm a fan

[@frankohero]

Yes. One of my favorite performances of all time. Nice reaction dear RVA :).

[@Gutenberg1977]

One must know that Marco lost his whole falset register after a throat surgery in the 90ies. He worked hard to get his voice back. They cut a nerve inside his throat, so that his cords were kind of paralyzed.

[@sugoruyo]

Makes him even more of a beast.

[@alexojeda9048]

NO, actually didn't know that. What was the surgery for?

[@noone9177]

@@alexojeda9048 probably to remove the amygdala or to remove polyps or cysts in the throat or vocal cords. Some singers damage their throats to a point they develop polyps and other things that should not be there and have to undergo surgery to fix. If done correctly nothing should change, if the surgeon makes a mistake or something goes slightly not so right the vocal chords may be damaged and loose their previous "power" just as it can get "more powerful". Vocal chords surgery is a very complex and delicate things

[@vosguanekasparian9855]

@@noone9177 It's what happened to me during a surgery when I was a child : surgeon made a mistake and broke one of my vocal cords, so I lost a big part of my voice. I did a surgery years ago to gain more power but I have to do it again :/

[@m4game221]

Knowing this about Marco, his work of voices si appreciate much more, that speaks of his Quality as an artist

[@karateprincess1]

Marco has one of the best voices in rock/metal, so so unique! Tarja might no longer be their singer but I think they've found an amazing one in Floor

[@italian_mami90]

I listen to this live everyday religiously and I FULLY understand your reaction 🥲 gets me every time, one and a half hour of shivers. She also might be one of the best dressed singers out there! 💜

[@mikoske]

That was the best reaction ever,! Just don't replay that last part too many times, you would probably lose consciousness, haha. More Nightwish, please. Also there are Nightwish songs that Marco sings alone. He also has his own band Tarot, formed in the 80's.

[@Dmitry___S.]

*More Marco!* *While Your Lips Are Still Red* - one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard!

[@anniepollard3119]

I'd love it if she reacted to that song

[@IAmFat1968]

The version of High Hope with Marco is great

[@AryforRi]

I also like how lovely his voice sounds in "The Island"

[@Filip-gz1lh]

This is one of the most beautiful songs all the time, it would be great to see it there

[@estebanarnao1703]

True

[@doramendes5497]

The power of Tarja and Mako's voice is something else! Absolutely beautiful

[@talissabarcelos266]

you turn to the camera and say "she's hot" and i'm already hitting the thumbs up

[@sugoruyo]

You know, heavy music gets vilified all the time, it’s so nice to see people appreciating the talent, hard work and passion these musicians put into their work, without judgements, for once. I highly recommend some of Floor’s work with After Forever, Simone Simons and Epica as well. That’s on the symphonic metal styles with female operatic vocals. Also, check out some of the work Brittney Hayes has done with Unleash the Archers on a more “regular” metal vocal style.

[@killman1971]

Do not forget Dianne van Giersbergen era Xandria. Dianne is on par with Simone, Tarja, and Floor vocal and stage performance wise.

[@dneuens]

She recently did Floor with Epica. “Sancta Terra”

[@Mugthraka]

"heavy music gets vilified all the time" WIch is ironic when you realise just how heavy some Baroque and classical era composers tracks actually are, i mean Bethooven?, Bach?, Malher etc, and while Vivalidi's isn't really "Heavy" its still Lit as fuck!, there a good fucking reason why classical tracks work so well with Metal covers, have anyone ever seen Tina S "Vivaldi's goes metal" vid? its freakin insane!!!

[@PabloGener]

@@Mugthraka Stravinski shows up a lot in Michael Romeo's (Symphony X) compositions. It's amazing.

[@sugoruyo]

@@Mugthraka some of them were vilified too in their time...

Amazing video Rebecca, thank you for doing one more Nightwish reaction. Please do more :)

[@alsimms8003]

THANK YOU for not forgetting the wonder of Tarja. As much as I am fascinated by Floor Jansen an Simone Simons . it appears that Tarja is at times disregarded, LOVE TO HEAR YOUR PROFESSIONAL TAKE ON A SONG CALLED Sleeping Sun with TARJA. That rendition has a haunting quality. (by the way your facial expressions during the reviews are very endearing) As a lifelong headbanger and an aficianado of opera voices I would love to hear your opinion on my favorite band of all times - Rhapsody of Fire

[@johnanderson2112]

So sad that this was their final concert with Tarja

[@Balnazzardi]

Was it? Didnt know that....but ye sad thing things fell apart with them. I recently saw interview with Tarja and it seems like she and the band (or atleast with Tuomas) they never came to speaking terms again and she didnt seem to really believe that they could ever be in speaking terms again.

[@blegi1245]

Balnazzardi that concert ended in the infamous open letter. There had been problems for a while. She had her own manager(also her husband) and she chose to be contractor even though she was offered equity share in the background company of the band. She had tried to solicit a solo recording deal from the UK branch of the parent company of nightwish's record label in the summer of that year etc. weirdness. Originally she wanted to do classical but the label wasn't interested so she and her manager husband pitched basically a nightwish without the rest of the band.

[@lastword9475]

@@Balnazzardi the way she was treated and the cowardly, disloyal means of her firing would convince anyone to stay away

[@Balnazzardi]

@@lastword9475 well ye, it was shitty way they treated her and from what I understand/remember it wasnt even so much Tarja they had problems with but her manager husband/boyfriend who was apparently interfering in the bands matters...or something like that if I remember correctly.... Either way ofc Tuomas has the right to make these decisions as the lead/founder of the band but the way they got rid of Tarja was really not the proper way to do it

[@xeleelex146]

@@Balnazzardi actually, her concerns were not addressed for years and Marcelo (manager) began to put her needs in stark terms..something to which Tuomas did not take kindly...he was equally as irate when their original bassist Sami asked to have some input into the songs and off the chopping block for him and wait til you find callous way they disposed of Annete and the indifference he showed to Tarja...

[@ren.batista]

I absolutely love the way you reacted to that last part. It shows how strongly passionate you are about music, and I think that is beautiful. You just got a new sub, Rebecca. Thank you.

[@xeleelex146]

who can get tired of that magnificient voice. Rebecca.. you must be my favorite reviewer . your facial expressions are priceless and your reaction of shock to Tarja is rather commonplace at her performances---- please react to some early nightwish. her voice was even more compelling then

Happy new year !
