[@zahiabuhazira2773]

@@TheComicBookJoker Its such a beautiful master piece really , also The greatest show on earth is an amazing song , would love to see her react to that haha

[@YamiHW]

I almost cried seeing your reaction, it shows how passionate you are about music 😍 I love both Tarja and Floor's singing style, they both fit perfectly in Nightwish on their own way ❤️ Sorry for my english 😓

[@heathergranite5144]

I still get chills listening to this song! I can’t listen to any other version with the same enthusiasm anymore.

[@bpz278]

If you want to hear a fantastic male metal vocalist, take a listen to Roy Khan from Kamelot. Guaranteed to blow you away! Their live performance of their song Abandoned is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to see a video reacting to them!

[@snezeire]

bjz278 I miss Roy so much! Mad props to the new singer, I give him so much credit. But Roy had so much resonance it was unreal.

[@karikristinehaugberg3890]

Roy was the best, I miss him SO MUCH!!!! He is unparalleled.

[@tomaBLOODY]

Roy Khan came back to Conception. His first band. I recommended the three first records. Absolutely awesome band!!!

[@mike2003ars]

Yes yes yes ! React Roy

[@MatiDota]

Guys i dont know if u noticed but roy khan is back with conception first band.

[@Skyhawk1998]

I like the stance you took. Tarja and Floor (and Anette!) are VERY good vocalists. It's not really a case of "one sucks one doesn't", its just whose style your prefer more. Its important to recognize that Nightwish has never had a bad singer, because no one dropped the ball and sung like an idiot. They just all brought a different brand of amazing to the table. It helps that ALL of Nightwish is extremely competent - its the full package. Good songwriting, good musicianship, and amazing performing. I think that is what you were trying to get at. They aren't singing, they are PERFORMING.

[@suokkos]

Very true. Too bad Anette got a lot hate just because her voice didn't work that well with old fan favorites. Two albums made for her sounded good when she sang them. I think Nightwish had good idea when they choose her to sing. Too bad they may have forgot the issue of performing old fan favorites live.

[@haleskiss]

I love Floor, but Annette's Slow, Love, Slow is amazing. Floor does it nice enough, but Annette's is better. And, Scaretale is definitely her's too.

[@Skyhawk1998]

@@haleskiss Imaginaerum is certainly the point at which Tuomas finally got the hang of working with her voice and was able to work some magic with it. Now, maybe this is because its for a movie, but the album sounds way different compared to the rest of Nightwish's lineup, and I believe that is because they were finally writing for Annette.

[@christopherparry2169]

Well said

[@full-moongaming8224]

Very well said. I personally prefer Tarja because it was her voice that really introduced me to the band, and the genre (Symphonic Metal) which has become such a huge part of my life over the years.

0:27 Rebecca: "She's hot." Me: "You too Rebecca."

[@Ozzy_2014]

Shes now 46. Look back to the early days and you'd see how darn gorgeous she was 20+ years ago. They founded Nightwish together with a 3rd member in 96. She is a solo act now. That Marco can even as a scream match notes with Tarja ( to a point) is shocking. Hell of a range to match a diva with 3 octave range

[@florealore8404]

Finally Rebecca reacts to my beloved Tarja ♥️🤘 Please enjoy also Nightwish Ever Dream or Passion and the Opera! And please listen some Tarja solo album, My Winter Storm above all. 🌹

You do know that this is the Original singer for Nightwish? She was fantastic at the more operatic songs.

I was posting half way through the video so was not sure if you were aware. I see at the end you were. Thank you for another great reaction. You're great. And Gorgeous.

rebecca makes the best reaction videos, so natural, and when she sings you can see [hear[ she knows!!!

[@thomasott116]

Thank you so much for being one of the enlightened folk who agrees BOTH Tarja and Floor are vocal BEASTS. And I am very glad to have seen you react to this specific song. And as I'm sure you see many others are requesting The Poet and the Pendulum Live at Wembley. I truly hope you do this one, but before you watch it, I know your more listening for the vocals but some background for that song. The keyboardist Tuomas wrote it after the band had fired Tarja after this concert I believe it was. He was in love with her and he felt many people were mad at him for doing so but it was either fire her or the band breaks up. It sent Tuomas into a deep depression and instead of committing suicide he wrote The Poet and the Pendulum as his metaphorical suicide. It is a true masterpiece of music and think you would like it. You get to hear Marco and Floor together this time and it is a bit darker of a song. Hope you read this and have a wonderful day Rebecca!

[@Julia-LArt]

Thomas Ott Gosh, how sad, I always wondered why they fired Tarja

[@drinkinbebop6231]

Fuckin hell your vocals are gorgeous! And your reaction at 5:32 is just about the greatest thing I’ve witnessed on this platform.

[@Alsadius]

I have to admit, I laughed a bit when you asked if they were married - this was filmed is about two hours before he and the other band members fired her. By a letter, not even in-person. Which was caused in part by the band's founder(the keyboardist) objecting to the way her husband acted. I also laughed, for happier reasons, at the "What is this doing to me?" bit. You're always really fun to watch.

[@geostel]

Thats great that you starded to review old nightwish songs with Tarja!)

I love your reaction while you don't put a filter on or showing fake feelings. You just let it out when you experience some exceptional great performance. And you absolutely right - there is no need to seek out who is the best singer in Nightwish - both Floor and Tarja are outstanding and unique. Great Channel you are running compared to the rest, while you know what you are talking about and no funny theater for the crowd 👍

@@Hailz12211 Tarja does have a husband but not any of Nightwish. Actually there was a huge row after this because they gave her a letter to open after this concert, in effect sacking her. If you look it up, there was a press conference response from her - people took sides ( the new singer was pretty awful compared and the next song called Bye Bye Beautiful likely didn't help) & were arguing about it for years. Still do sometimes.

[@brianbierlein4747]

I'm glad you finally got around to Tarja. She's my favorite of the 3 Nightwish singers, but I like them all. Please give a listen and reaction to Unleash the Archers - Awakening, the Live Band Playthrough video. Their singer, Brittney Slayes, is another powerhouse voice in metal.

[@nothanks7919]

Brittney is a vocal BEAST! (oops, realized too late she said the same thing about Tarja in the video)

[@ez0950]

As a long time nightwish fan I will say, I loved Tarja. Her ability to perform is exquisite and her singing is tough to beat. She is a great Opera singer. I was very saddened by Toumas choosing Annette. While I understood the decision to cut Tarja, I felt the replacement was a touch weak or maybe thin for the full sound of Nightwish. Annette is a great vocalist. I just did not feel she fit. Floor ... well, what can one say about Floor? She can do it all. The band is no longer stuck doing only operatic, or only regular, Now they can throw anything they desire. I can only hope the new 2020 album will explore Floor's true range and abilities.

[@MsStecarl]

could not argee more :)

[@kuroinamida4630]

you sir or lady, just took the words outta my mouth. On record i still prefer Tarja, could be nostalgia cause i know them snce 3rd/4th Grade or maybe because EFMB is weak, but live i kinda prefer Floor a lil bit more. But not calling either being bad or anything like that,

[@ez0950]

@@kuroinamida4630 EFMB in my opinion was technically weak. I think Toumas put too much emphasis on the lyrics and not creating the music to match. Therefore not using Floor to her best ability. Live we get to hear what she is capable of as she is often singing songs from before. Granted there are still a few songs I prefer Tarja on. However a lot of that could also be the quality of the bootleg recording lol. Basically it is really not possible to say who is better though. They both are among the best at what they bring to the table. But I will go on the same limb and say that I do prefer to watch Floor live over Tarja. Tarja puts on a more personal "look at me" face. Where as Floor is quick to praise the band in her bows. You will note that she will bow with her right hand out and turn it to the band. Like saying thank you but it was them. To me that humble approach speaks in the same volumes as her voice.

[@Moonlight_shine7]

Really? Of cours floor is stucked, every song sounds the same. Now with decades tour theres more proof, and many sounds really weird in her vocals. She's to sweet, to lovely, everything sound live like their latest album.

[@MaliceTheDoll]

Yeah I love Tarja and love her solo as well. I was shocked as a 14 y old as they kicked her out after final show in Helsinki. 2006 I went to 2 of their concerts (my first ones) and after that letter I had to recognize that I never would have that shows again. And then they have chosen Anette and I still remember the time I heard the samples of Eva and so on...and I had to cry, I was shocked. So Nightwish was over for me. I did not heard anything of their music again. And I knew After Forever and liked their way of music. As I heard shes doing all the shows after Anette was divaing around I just hoped! And yeah in November I saw my third show of Nightwish with Floor and it was amazing.

[@gerrykrysteva4098]

I know you made this video long time ago.... But Tarja is one of a milion with this voice! Not only mazing singer but also amazing person and i know it!!!! She is just amazing! Here over and over again for us!!!

One of best versions I've ever heard from all types of this song, in my perspective of course! ...

You are great Rebecca by how you're explain about the track, thank you!
