Vocal Coach Reacts to Storytime by Nightwish at Wacken 2013

[@GaboObando]

I can picture Toumas explaining this song to Floor, and she is like: oh? you have prerecorded vocals for this? that´s cute. Let me floor it.

[@ronaldboers8061]

After having performed several shows actually Floor asked Tuomas why there were pre-recorded vocals in that part of the song because it felt to her that was something the vocalist should sing. Tuomas full hardheartedly agreed with her and said it was intended to be sung live but Anette was unable to do that. Floor's response was something like "I am not Anette i am Floor i can do this". After which Tuomas responded "I will take it out immediately and knock yourself out". I guess that is one of the reasons why they love her. :-)

[@juhanikyllonen1899]

No need for him to explain a thing of this. He knows :)

[@homere-d-allaure]

@@ronaldboers8061 I guess it was pretty much the same in The poet and the pendulum for the third part, right ?

[@ronaldboers8061]

@@homere-d-allaure correct.😊. She also offered to sing the opening of the song but Tuomas wanted to keep the choirboy in.

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

Perhaps because Anette didn’t even sing that on the album.

[@maxmattt]

No need to apologise for singing along, we all do that. It's Ok when you do it, you can actually sing, not like the rest of us. I watched you singing Storytime, you nailed it.

@@stch1976 If you want to listen to Nightwish without interruptions the logical choice is to put on one of their albums. That attitude and complaint on a singer reaction video just becomes funny.

[@kerimmejdoub1381]

@@stch1976 1 tip for you, don't watch a reaction video. If you want to listen to the song, watch the original video😉

[@ElvannReacts]

Hellooo guys! I've wanted to leave pinned comments but I had this weird bug with YT and I couldn't :O ! Just wanting to say a big thank you again for watching! I haven't been able to follow up with comments as much because I'm trying to spend more time with my family while I'm in Canada, and I'm taking a bit of time off-screen for that reason!!! Love you all and see you with a reaction to Pisces on Tuesday!! Elvann xox

[@llcruize]

Floor added a good bit to the end compared to the original recording to include that bit where she goes an octave higher as it is all recorded choir on the original.

[@larryd4352]

I love listening to this song when I am in my SUV driving around. Well...I have the two CDs from the Decades live from Buenos Aries loaded in my CD so I can listen to it all the time! Elvann .... you have a great voice! I love listening to you!

[@pauljohnson7382]

THIS! has become one of my favorite NW songs... Noticed that ever since Floor joined the band...the others have a renewed enthusiasm... How 'bout Jukka on the drums... Damn.🔥

[@RudyBleeker]

100% agree. I've been to various Nightwish concerts over the years and I've never seen Tuomas as happy while performing as when Floor joined the band, except for maybe in their very early years with Tarja. I'm glad they've found renewed enthusiasm. But then, Jukka has always attacked the drums like the pirate he is.

[@floorgasm1636]

I agree

[@KyleS.1987]

That's one of my favorite things about the Wacken show. The guys in the band keep looking at each other like, 'Can you believe how good this sounds!?'

[@johncheek2415]

Let's discuss the Drummer Jukka Nevalainen, he is a frigging beast, the most under-rated drummer in the world, he can hold his own against anyone

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I'd honestly say that he's probably the greatest of all time, in terms of sound and technique. Kai is just as good, technically, but a comparison reveals minute details that put Jukka over the top. Biggest reason is his heart and emotion -- NEVER have I seen a drummer throw himself into his music as much as Jukka. Never. Put it this way: If Tuomas is the Mind of NW, and Floor is the Voice, then Jukka is the Beating Heart. Because he is that damn good -- and all you need to hear is Dark Chest of Wonders and Ever Dream.

[@lorgrenbenirus]

@@isaiahwelch8066 Absolutely agree. Jukka was always in the music, no matter whether live, on videos or in studio, he always lived every minute of music, of songs. That made him the most awesome drummer I've personally enjoyed to watch. I've seen many skilled drummers, but drummers who live the music they play - none is like Jukka was.

[@Ba_Yegu]

No wonder with that Adrenaline pumped in veins every evening Jukka couldn't sleep anymore. He was almost killed by his passion for music.

[@Mubiki]

@@isaiahwelch8066 I love NW, but let's be real. He's not even the best drummer alive, let alone all time.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@@Mubiki : You might think that, but I never will. There are only two drummers I would ever consider watching a band play, just to see them, and they are Scott Buchanan (Unleash the Archers) and Ivan from Ignea. Even then -- I would still watch Jukka play, even over them. Most drummers are so concentrated on being technical, they miss out on other ways to be unique -- but Jukka is unique because he puts just as much emotion into his playing as Floor does singing. All you have to see to know that, is watch Dark Chest of Wonders and Ever Dream from the Wacken 2013 concert, and you see how much the man loved bringing the noise to a crowd. And when you know you're good, you bring it that much more. And Jukka, more than any other drummer, did that.

[@PlacidDragon]

Nothing wrong with singing along, that just shows you are enjoying the music :)

[@ElvannReacts]

I very much am!!!

[@tomten8663]

O MY GOD. Floor lifts up the whole band. Look at the Happy faces and with what a enthousiasm the band plays. They are all fired up.

[@jeffk1482]

I think I said this in a prior reaction, but, will say again... it's very cool and quite unique watching your reactions! That's because you *actually perform* NW's material. You know better than most what it takes to sing and perform these pieces, the subtleties, nuances & stylistic choices to be made. I love it!!!! Please keep 'em coming, and I bet NOBODY minds if you sing along a little.

[@ElvannReacts]

I think it’s true it’s giving a really unique take to those commentaries for sure! And for me it’s awesome to share what aim literally the MOST passionate about as a musician!

[@mdudley52]

I have seen all 3 formats of Nightwish and to me Floor is the best! Btw we all sing along so no need to apologise.

[@jonnykitka]

I'm a big fan of nightwish and and a huuuuge fan of Floor. When she sings it does something with me that I can't explain. ( Emotions roller-coaster). It's been a hard time for me past month. My mom passed away 1 Dec. And this is the last video we watched together so it's special for me now so I just keep coming back. We always shared music we loved. When I hear floor here voice doesn't matter which song. It comforts me I guess. Angel voice❤️❤️

This is "Floor" version, the operatic part at the middle break is done by a choir on the original album version, the former singer could not do that part,, the band was Floored(pun intended) when she and Tuomas added it in for her to sing.

Elvann is so cute when she is lip syncing with the song.

Of course you should keep on doing these! Now for the obligatory classic metal sugestion, when you want to see how to sing a very fast song, look up Aces High (Flight 666) by Iron Maiden. Blows your mind. Another reason I keep bringing up Bruce Dickinson, Eric Adams or Dio is that their larger than life stage presences are the male version of Floor.

[@Carimm60]

I just found your videos and I am looking forward to hearing some of your covers of nightwish! I love it when people feel the energy of nightwish and other metal groups and all its sub genres

[@hiawatha.g]

I know Ghost Love Score and Greatest Show etc. are considered greater works of art, but this song really shows off Floor at her most majestic.The sheer power she generates for this entire song is mind-blowing. As you said, she just put the pedal to the metal from the start, and didn't let up. The transitions between belting and operatic head voice -- insane! No wonder Tuomas is grinning like he stole everyone's lunch. Great reaction, and the lip synching is not a problem, we understand!

[@paco_granados]

It's great how you enjoyed this song. I like this live version with Floor more than Anette's, I believe the main difference is the music... in the studio version is not as "heavy" as this one, and also the performance and stage presence of Floor is stronger and entertaining.. keep enjoying your time in Canada!!

[@bkeyser]

So I really want to see Nightwish live, but now I also want to see Elvann front the tribute band. Please keep singing along.

I recommend you try also version from Tampere 2015. And compare them. Trust me, worth it.

Hello from a fellow Canadian! :D (Although I'm from BC, not Quebec.) I have a couple of reaction suggestions for you: A new Finnish Christmas song called "Sielulintu" by JP Leppäluoto (There's only an audio track for it, though), and/or "Dance With The Dragon" by Dark Sarah (feat. the aforementioned JP). JP has a very rich, dark baritone voice, and Heidi (from Dark Sarah) has a really beautiful classical voice. I think you'd enjoy both of them. :)

[@jamesallen1153]

Finally a vocal coach that can actually perform the songs she is reviewing, and when Elvann pauses the video she doesn't take all day to make her point. Side Note: Elvann has some facial similarities with Floor, but smaller and more delicate - she could be Floor's baby sister. Elvann lso has a cool name like Floor does.

This is a real rock anthem song and your insight is dead on.
