part1 Hi Katie Jean, really enjoyed & appreciate your reaction, there are many great female vocalist in the world, then there are a few exceptional ones ,then there is Floor Jansen, N.America has yet to know her but the rest of the world surely does, for your indulgence and reference I offer my list for you , so ... Welcome to the best band and female vocalist of our time, I know bold statement but if you take the journey you will understand ,the YT fan base is massive,passionate & very active, 80% of which is for the Floor era,she stepped in Oct 2012 ,and has been their 3rd,current & "Final" vocalist ,GLS is the epitome of Symphonic Metal with more of a classical influence as is many of their compositions but many from this concert are much heavier ,also GLS is the most reacted to song on YT ever with several vocal coaches having over 2.5 Million views .But this was but a very small taste of what Floor & NW has in store for you. As someone who started listening to Nightwish and Floor with her 1st band AfterForever 20 yrs ago I offer My song list recommendations below which is solely focused on the singer you just saw & heard,cheers **there are 2 pivotal events since Floor Jansen came aboard NW in late 2012 #1 Wacken 2013 - #2 Beste Zangers 2019 at this popular Dutch tv show filmed on Ibiza some top Dutch singers past & present get together and the person on the center couch for the day has one of their songs or a song that has meaning to them sung back to them reinterpreted by the other singers,novel idea . Floor opened the show with the 1st song below and just blew everyone's mind,only two of the other singers knew who Floor was but none of them had heard her sing with such versatility,after the 8 day run of the show Floor's & NW's popularity soared,stadiums filled up and ticket sales shot up.btw since Floor joined NW & after this show NW's fan base has tripled . on Mama by Samantha S.Floor completely changes the tempo and song structure ,the song is about Samantha wanting to be more like her Mom, Que Se Siente by Rolf is originally a merenge ,mambo type song so of course Floor does it her way,Winner by Tim A. he wrote for his brother who has Spina Bifida, About Love ,Ruben wrote about his parents divorce.

Don't be afraid to pause - we've likely heard the song a million times and want to enjoy watching you experience it for the first time.

Exactly - most of us have seen this so often, we are here mainly for your "blabber". As long as you don't pause so much you destroy the flow, you're good - fewer, longer breaks with rewinds is a good idea, like you did it with this one is perfect. Fun reaction, good analysis, thanks!

Hello Katie [ Singing Lessons with Katie Jean O'Brien ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 heard 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, Decades 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 " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘

Like others have said previously, this is a very deep rabbit hole and you’re going to find a LOT of amazing things down here. Not just vocals, but as you caught on in your commentary, composition, arrangement, performance, crown reaction… the whole package is here. Nightwish is one of the few bands that truly excels in all aspects of the art of making and performing music at a very high level. You’ve only uncovered the very tip of the iceberg, and believe it or not it actually gets better the deeper you dig. There’s a saying in the Nightwish fan community that your favorite Nightwish song is whichever one you just finished listening to, so hang on to your hat and enjoy the ride. I hope you continue to allow us to tag along with you on this journey. :)

In my 62 years I have never heard a female vocalist that has moved me more than Floor Jansen. She can sing anything, from operatic highs to full metal growls - and she sings with all of her heart and soul. Her talent combined with the genius songwriting of Tuomas (the keyboard player, known as "the metal Mozart" and a master of emotion and melody) and the phenomenal musicianship of the rest of the band make Nightwish a one of a kind musical experience. They have many masterpieces and every song is unique and different, with lots of surprises.

Hey Katie, being gobsmacked when first seeing Floor and this as your initiation to Nightwish is totally normal! This is also known pretty much worldwide now as having Floorgasms when hearing her sing. And this was LIVE!!! The orchestral backing tracks are actual recordings from the (London I think?) Philharmonic Orchestra, plus what Tuomas (keyboard player) is doing himself. Over 80,000 at that concert. You will get MANY requests from this same concert. And on a side note: The bass player Marko has a phenomenal voice too, so if you want to check out some classics featuring him: Phantom of the Opera and High Hopes(End of an Era concert 2005), along with a number featuring him more recently too.

[@chriso6719]

Welcome to the world of symphonic metal and Nightwish, formed in 1996. The band is from Finland. 3rd and current lead singer ,Floor Jansen (Yan-sen) is Dutch. The mastermind behind it ,is the keyboard player, Tuomas Holopainen. He writes 90-95% of the songs, and they are all different Yes you heard an orchestra. The backing tracks were recorded with the London Philharmonic, and the Metro Voices and Young Musicians London choirs. Floor had only been with the band about 10 months at this show, having taken over mid tour. It was the first time many in that crowd of 82K had seen her with Nightwish. Also seen here, Emppu Vuorinen on guitar, Marko Hietala on bass, and Jukka Nevalainen on drums. This song, about an unrequited love, is from the 2004 5th album ,Once, with original lead singer Tarja(Tar-ya) Turunen. Song # 13 in a 15 song set. Wacken(Vah-ken) is a small town in northern Germany, their cattle region. Wacken Open Air has held a multi day metal festival every year since 1990 (minus pandemic years). The flaming bull's head is the venue's logo. Look for a comment from Gabriel Bardac (he'll be here soon). He will give you a short band history , and links to a lot of their songs. I'll recommend Romanticide from this same show, but whatever song you choose to do, please use Gabriel's links. And live is usually the way to go with this band.

[@KatieJeanOBrien]

I definitely will!! Thank you for all of this!

[@santino001vileno9]

This is what happens when five "A" level musicians perform at the top of their game. This crowd was over 80k people in Wacken, Germany. Her name btw is Floor Jansen (pronounced Yahn-sen). The chief composer for the group is Tuomas Halipainen, the key board artist. A dive into Nightwish's and Floor's repertoire imo is well worth the time. They don't make bad music. Their music is best listened to live, IMO. Although their studio work and videos are also worth the watch. The band originates from Finland. Floor is Dutch and another member, Troy Donockley (not seen here) is from the UK. Enjoy the ride and brace for the "Army" of Nightwish fans who will respond to your post. Take care and keep the reactions coming.

This is Symphonic Metal, the merge of symphony and metal music, created by Tuomas (keyboard) - and he is worldwide acknowledged as 'The Metal Mozart'. Phenomenal compositions with deep poetic lyrics, often with quotes from scientists and writers - and written to be individually interpreted!! And Floor in front - she is by far the most versatile, powerful, skilled and talented storyteller ever. You just experience maybe 10% of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities..... You ain't seen nothing yet 😉. On this concert Floor only did old songs not written to her incredible techniques - but she certainly made the songs her own! But from 2015, all the new songs are written to her, and Tuomas actually manages to challenge her sometimes, which she loves, while she creates her own techniques in her evolution of her voice. Floor is unique - but you experience yourself.. Look out for Gabriel Bardac's brief info and suggestions - they have some of the best audio available. And now you are also getting familiar with the Nightwish Army - we are a few hundred thousand very keen fans, from literally all over the world, very eager to assist and help you out, in diving into this incredible universe. Just ask us anything - and we will do our best. Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘 And you might consider doing a ballad next.. Dead Boy's Poem from Buenos Aires 2018. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWmoZH9tnMx_g68 or Sleeping Sun from Tampere 2015: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKTSpZ-wp56qhNk

But for dead boys poem, have the lyrics available.

[@ladydalida6917]

Nightwish Army South Germany Division The same goes for "The Poet and the Pendulum" and "The Greatest Show on Earth" as parts of the lyrics are very quiet and are drowned out by the music. Also an important note for "The Poet and the Pendulum": Here you should know the background that led to this masterpiece.

[@larryd4352]

Sixty five (65) year old Heavy Metal / Hard Rock lover from way back in the 1960's. Heard all the greats of rock and roll and been to see most of them in concert. Nightwish is amazing.... and the genius behind Nightwish is the keyboards is, Tuomas. He is the genius behind the music, writing, composing, building collaborations with the London Symphony, the Youth Choir, and adult choir. Floor Jansen is the 3rd lead vocalist of the band, and she has supercharged the band since 2013 into new heights! Enjoy the band and remember to search for "Floors New Solo album " My Paragon"....you will love it!

[@ricklong4218]

Great review/reaction to this magical band and Floor Jansen our Valkyrie Goddess. She also has a new solo album out "Paragon" where you can hear a completely different style of singing.💗

[@moniquevanaken2638]

Hello Katie! Just woke up and...what a great reaction, wow! A lot of song suggestions have already been left in the comments and if you don't mind I will leave another one. In 2005 NW performed "The Phantom of the Opera" with their first singer Tarja (Tarr-ya). In 2019 Floor (from Flora, Goddess of Flowers and Spring) participated in a Dutch music TV-series "Beste Zangers" (Best Singers) and performed in the duet episode The Phantom with Henk Poort (pron,. Poart), who for years was the Dutch Phantom (and A.L. Webber said the best), which was a phenomenal hit! When Floor asked him if he would like to sing it with her he said yes but on one condition...that he could sing it on stage with NW when they came to The Netherlands. Ofc Floor, and also the rest of the band, said YES! But then the pandemic hit and everything was postponed. But in Nov last year NW came to Amsterdam and after 17 years (their 2nd singer Annette didn't sing this) and to the great surprise of the audience they did The Phantom! They rehearsed it in silence so nobody would know! Promise made, promise kept! The links are in Gabriel Bardac's list if you want to react to this song and maybe a back to back reaction? In any case...enjoy the ride with NW, there is so much to discover! Greetings from The Netherlands! Btw: Floor has her own YT Channel and she herself did a reaction to this song! Interesting and also funny!

[@KatieJeanOBrien]

Wow!!! Awesome!

I love watching peoples Nightwish journeys.. You seriously won't be disappointed. There has been a few bumps, on the way. (ie) different singers. but IMO, Floor Jansen is the greatest. And always will be.

[@ElgynsToy]

Isn't she sickeningly talented? You can't even be salty about it because she also seems to be an entirely wonderful human being, and has not even the faintest hint of Diva about her xD The whole band is just excellent. Enjoy your journey : )

I'm a little late in this party, but welcome to the magical world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. Glad you liked, and greetings from Finland! ⛄❄👍

[@williammceuen8730]

The whole performance (15 songs, GLS was 13) is timeless. It is always great to see a reactor's first experience with Nightwish/Floor Jansen is GLS from this Festival. It was my first time too. LOL, you never forget your first time! I am 65 and am at heart a classic rock guy...Zep, Floyd, Who, Rush, Stones, etc. But after finding Nightwish, I just can't get enough of them. And Floor always brings me to tears, she could phart and I would probably shed a tear. There is something very special about Floor Jansen. I hope you do every song from this set, like and sub for you! Semper Fi 🤘🤘

[@KatieJeanOBrien]

Thank you so much!

[@petrmarek6580]

@@KatieJeanOBrien Floor Jansen is definetly greatest singer ever, but Simone Simons from Epica is second singer. And third singer is Dianne van Giersbergen when she was in Xandria!!

[@scottclark3761]

Katie, bar the door! That Valkyrie that was singing is named Floor Jansen. And yes, she is....well, I am convinced she may actually be a Valkyrie. A lot of singers sing what they can...Floor sings whatever the hell she feels like...because she's her. She can sing like and angel and growl like a demon. Gabriel will be here...he has the List and the Lore, but you can't really go wrong. Floor has also done some solo covers on her own channel that are definitely worth a look. The version of Phantom of the Opera live at Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam is particularly astounding. And the goosebumps, we call that a Floorgasm. The Nightwish Army cometh, and that Right Soon!

[@KatieJeanOBrien]

I’m so enthralled!❤️❤️❤️

[@isaiahwelch8066]

It never ceases to amaze me: Whether singers, music producers, or others who play music...they ALL are amazed by Floor, and how good she really is. And no offense to my fellow Americans, but it also never ceases to amaze me when I see the reactions to Nightwish, and the thought or statement is, "Where has this been all my life?! Why have I never heard of this band before?!" It never ceases to put a smile on my face, seeing people truly experience a performance like this -- ESPECIALLY live, and what makes it even more amazing is, Nightwish headlined Wacken Open Air in 2013, and did it with a singer most fans hadn't even heard yet!

[@jayvenso]

How do i like this reaction more then once? Absolutely loved it. Sure hope you go down the rabbithole that is Nightwish and react more to Floors singing. You ain't seen nothing yet ;)

Best vocalist on the planet as far as I'm concerned. I love it when the Valkyrie Goddess grabs another soul. Hello from Maryland.

[@justinchristoph3725]

Every vocal coach I've seen react to her on KZbin wants to put her on a pedestal for her technical ability alone. She's the gold standard when it comes to technical ability.

[@randyrodriguez2398]

When the tittle of the video says "Voice Teacher Reacts" this is what i expect, several pauses giving opinions of how well Queen Floor does what she does the best that is pleasing us.. Nighwish and Her made the perfect union, they are the best, you keep doing the videos the way you see best and we´ll come back, feel no pressure for wanting us to like them, for me at least just the name Nightwish on tittle will make me come back, keep rocking and stay safe!

[@KatieJeanOBrien]

Thank you! Rock on!

[@LeonelPrenollio79]

A little advice, people come to the video to see your reaction to something they already know, therefore, you should be in the foreground, not the video.

[@dmj4966]

The only real general rules of pausing is never pause in the middle of a guitar solo, and stop for info rather than "I like this."; Other than that , if u gave insights to offer go for it

[@sleni5501]

✨✨ For at lot of old fans in Europe, THIS concert was the introduction to their new goddess Floor Jansson. Imagine - fans all over the world was very skeptical about what a new leadsinger would bring to Nightwish...and there she was!✨✨

[@loulagro2315]

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Nightwish and of course our 6 ft. tall Valkyrie Goddess..... Floor Jansen ( pronounced Yansen ). In most of our opinions, the greatest female vocalist alive. I am so excited for you to react/analyze more Floor and Nightwish! Please start with from the same 2013 Wacken concert, Storytime, Everdream, Romanticide, Song of Yourself, .... heck, the whole concert lol. ...... The backing tracks you hear are from the London Philharmonic Orchestra. From there every song you hear will seem impossibly better than the last. Other concerts etc etc ..... It is a rabbit hole and this bands talent is beyond compare. Floor is just a whole other level altogether when you start getting into her covers and solo career! You want to be blown away by her in a more intimate situation watch her Beste Zangers 2019 TV performances. Phantom of the Opera and Shallow, plus others. She is just sublime...... Oh and yes she is classically trained and a has been a vocal coach herself.

[@KatieJeanOBrien]

Thank you for this!

[@hyp77]

Floor is classically trained, but she mainly is a metal vocalist, but she can really sing what she wants. Others sing what they can, Floor sing what she wants. From growling to opera, she can sing EVERYTHING. I like to watch her belly, because you can see how she works with her muscles to support what she sings. Floor is THE BEST female vocalist EVER.

[@Piia2023]

Thanks for a great reaction. I'm not usually in for voice teachers, but this was really interesting, yours was so different from many I've seen. Her voice and singing is really out of this world. She really is a match with Nightwish music, and this concert is one of the best concert's all time, any song from this concert is worth watching, but maybe Storytime is the one most will recommend. Enjoy.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

Welcome to the world of Floor Jansen. The crazy thing is even with all that she did in this performance, you have not heard half of what she can do. She has been with Nighwish since 2012 and you can listen to any performance from this Wacken 2013 show and you cannot miss, you might especially like the song Storytime. She was also in her own bands After Forever 1995-2009 and ReVamp 2009-2016, for After Forever I recommend Dreamflight Live ProgPower USA VIII (2007) and for ReVamp Disdain Live at Graspop (2010). She also participated in a Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers where singers perform for other singers, where she covered songs from Operetta, Pop, Musical, etc. Nightwish also just released a performance of Phantom Of The Opera from the Ziggo Dome. Just to name a few.

[@HarbingerOfBattle]

I get the feeling that there is nothing a vocal coach can teach Floor at this point.

[@leoniewillemse893]

Floor herself used to teach before family and touring took away all time to do so. In general the best singers tend to be too busy performing to teach.

[@irenehabes-quene2839]

Actually Floor is just a common Dutch name, simplified from Latin Flora or Florentius. ( meaning to blossom or bloem) not the Dutch word for flower which is bloem.

[@goranelez9956]

You know this excitement you felt after hearing it for the first time? It probably won't go away even after 200 more times (judging by myself) because the composition and performance of it is on mastery level. The fun part of hearing Nightwish is that no 2 songs are alike. You'll never hear them repeating styles since their brain (Tuomas, keyboards) oozes creativeness, which is met by talented bandmembers. All this sounds like a word-soup, but it'll be clearer after more pieces.

[@Slamraptor]

There is no denying that Floor is one of the best singers in the world.

[@seanjames5799]

This is a sonic and visual masterpiece of metal. Nightwish aren't just a band. They're a spiritual journey. I cried when I first got to experience this masterpiece. Effortless comes naturally for Floor Jansen. Floor Jansen is a Valkyrie of symphonic metal. I love the way she engages her fans and joins them on the spiritual journey she takes them on.

[@agegroot5666]

Such a big crowd deserves the best and they got it. The song performed the best way thinkable, the ultimate unbeatable version. A recommendation is their second masterpiece Poet and the pendulum live at Wembley, delicate,intens,emotional,tears might drop, i promise you, you won't regret it.

Awesome reaction. Your pauses were fine because they were to the point and well observed. I’m always interested to see what a trained singer such as yourself makes of Floor Jansen and you were obviously impressed! She was backed by musicians at the top of their game and a genius songwriter in Thuomas Holopainen. If you continue down this rabbit hole you have so much to look forward to. You have barely scratched the surface of what Floor can do vocally. Also there are so many different styles to their music that will surprise and amaze you. Let General Gabriel of the Nightwish army be your guide and you won’t go far wrong. Stick to live performances from 2013 onwards as that is where they shine. Really looking forward to your next Nightwish reaction.

Last summer she performed on a festival ( pinkpop) .first a 1.5 hour solo show and two hours later an almost 2 hour show with nightwish! There is no way you can do that if you do not take very good care of your voice.
