Voice Teacher Reacts to NIGHTWISH - Storytime

[@Meine.Postma]

With that enthusiasm you can pause and rewind as often as you like

[@Godbooteringword]

Hi, as I'm the first one to place a comment, I'd like to tell you to not stop smiling; cause you don't actually know how many broken soul you could mend as you enlighten their existence with the glow of your angelic smiling face.

Yup...agree

[@beagletje75]

Yes agree with your clear statument👌👌

[@chuiduma]

Coming across this reaction a year later and truly one of the most memorable experiences of my life was the American leg of this tour. I went to one of the shows just after Annette left, and knew nothing about Floor. Any reservations i had about them losing yet another female vocalist were gone the moment she began. She was larger than life and just worked so well with the entire band, and she only got better through the show. I was hoping so hard that she would remain with the band after the tour was over, because she was still a temporary member at that point. Every time i see one of these reaction videos I'm brought back to that show and remember how almost overwhelming it all was. Floor is amazing.

[@NickGraham-b9m]

I was at the Melbourne, Australia show of this same tour and had almost the same experience that you did. I went into it with a great deal of uncertainty and came out of it in love. One of the greatest concert experiences of my life.

[@chuiduma]

@@NickGraham-b9m did Kamelot tour with them in Australia? They ended our show with both bands singing one of the Nightwish songs together, which was also pretty awesome. Definitely the best show I've ever gone to, and I used to go to a lot of concerts. 😆

@@chuiduma no, Kamelot didn't come to Australia with them but Sabaton did and they blew my mind.

[@rawsnake]

Im so jealous that you got to experience her live, Sure Anette was good but to me she was more of a "pop" singer so to say. Floor can do basically everything that Tarja did, not many others can i feel, just my opinion.

[@davidellinsworth22]

Someone's caught the Floor Jansen bug 🤣🤣🤣 great reaction. Many more songs to get through, but if you want to hear what an absolute powerhouse this wonderful woman is in her upper chest register you should react to Everdream (also Live at Wacken 2013) next. You'll also get a very brief introduction to the vocal warrior that is Marko Hietala (bassist) in that one 😁

[@BrendonChase_2015]

I must confess that never - out of all the reactions to Storytime I've seen sofar - have I enjoyed someone pausing & replaying like you just did. While the expressions on your face were a joy to behold in itself, your informed explanations really added to the experience. Wonderful the way you said "one more time", as if you were a kid, enjoying something the dull grown-ups told you you're not supposed to do. Long story short: loved every second of your reaction. You amplified the joy that was manifest on stage on that magical evening at Wacken, where everything good in music came together. Now I'm gonna watch your reaction.. "one more time". Cheers from Amsterdam!

Dear the Vocalyst, never mind the the pausing, that's what we are here for: an analysis of what's going on vocally. My favorite part was Floor's nonverbal ending, a gorgeous voice doing gorgeous things. A great reaction, and if I may say so an infectious smile😀.

[@jeffk1482]

Right?!? That non-lyric ending just makes the heart SOAR. And geeeeez, that last note? (Palpatine voice:) "UNLIMITED P O W E R !!!!"

And the same applies for going back in the song - it's always better to go back and show what you wanna stress, then just plainly talk about it. Great reaction! Thank you, Bethany!

[@juantimer]

The cry she puts in in the middle of that run is EVERYTHING

[@German_1]

It's ok to gush on the Valkerie Queen, we all do ! I'm 63 and some stuff she sings brings tears to my eyes. How does that happen! How many singers can go from growling to full blown opera? She can!

[@johan7170]

Love the fact that you called her smart. As I much as I have huge respect for her technique, her talent, her power, the thing I love th e most about her is what I would call her "sing-wise intelligence". She know the songs perfectly, not only the lyrics but their meaning, she know exactly what she's singing about, at every second of the song, which allow her to always pick into the vast amount of styles and technique she can use the one that's perfect for that phrase, that line, that word. Everything she does, every twist she puts, every time she had a little grit or a little operatic here and there, it serves a purpose, it serves the song, it serves her interpretation, she never showing off just for the sake of it, she does crazy things but she does them 'cause that helps her interpretation.

[@rnowak85]

Lovely reaction and analysis. Don't worry about the pausing. Your insights and knowledge are what I am here for. It helps me appreciate my favorite music even more. To hear her technique and artistry I recommend her acoustic performance of How's the Heart from the current album on Planet Rock. Just gorgeous. It is also on their current tour setlist. Maybe a double reaction with the lyric video from the album and the acoustic version?

[@jeffk1482]

I concur wholeheartedly. Definitely double reaction time!

When it comes to Nightwish and Floor.....you can pause, give your insight, go back and play it again .... ALL DAY, were here for it .....that was incredible......there's so much too hear from Floor ....from Nightwish to her previous bands , solo, lockdown videos , guest appearances, beste zangers, sing meinen.......its like she never stops working. But once again great reaction and i like that you wait awhile in between Nightwish reactions , instead of doing one after another, like some reactors do .....it gives us something to look foward too but dont take too long. l 😆

[@AviatorLuber]

Continuing with my education on Nightwish! I’ve only heard a few songs but I am already hooked, and am ready for more! I really enjoyed your reaction, and the analysis you do really helps to appreciate the song even more. The beautiful smile you had and the joy you showed through the entire reaction was fun to see and made my day!

[@kjelledbom1728]

I really love this particular show, is perfect in every way. Talking about the differances in metal, i was set on the 80´s metal for a long time coz it was my teen years and i discovered myself and music same time. But after my son grew up and started to find his music instead of the music he learned from me, i also got interested in listening to much broader spectrum of music, most is still metal but now i listen to everything from late 60´s to now.

[@Kelsea-2002]

I love the enthusiasm with which you discover the world of Floor and Nightwish. I can promise you that the band and also floor solo still have countless surprises in store for you.👍👏

[@despairingleonardo]

It's normal to pause on her music. There is a lot to talk about. I never get bored from your Floors' analysis.

[@LFCKopite]

Great analysis Bethany. I'm no vocalist, or coach, but 2 years ago i heard Nightwish for the 1st time, and Floor. Since then i have realised they are an amazing band and Floor is so special. She is without doubt my favourite ever female vocalist now, and for me alongside Freddie Mercury as the best ever. She is THE Valkyrie Goddess🤘🖤

[@BigzampanoXXL]

I love your passion and your smiling is very nice. Very good reaction. That’s is the reason why we are here. Reactors knows exactly why Floor is out of this world, not just vocally, her stage-presence, her gestures, her smiling, her movements, her open arms (sort of inviting the audience). Not to forget TUOMAS, the poet and composer…and the whole band. You will get introduced to the second great singer in NW very soon.

[@Jedicake]

Never gets old watching someone have their mind blown by Floor. Most versatile talented singer in the biz

[@roeloftooms]

You should look up all 7 perfomances she did on the 2019 season of the Dutch show "Beste Zangers", Then you will see how versatile she is singing several styles of music. The most epic one is the Phantom of the Opera she did together with the actual Dutch Phantom artist Henk Poort.

[@patverum9051]

I concur...

[@TedinCalgary1952]

Hi Bethany! Just to be in agreement with roeloftooms comment: as part of the "Beste Zangers" series, Floor also performed a German operatic piece "Vilja-Lied --- Lied vom Waldmägdelein" by the composer Franz Lehár. She did this to honor professional Dutch opera singer Henk Poort. You can find it at kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSveGiOZs5lh68. Also, as a fan of "belting", one of my favorites from the series is "Que Si Siente", sung in Spanish.

You're journey just gets better with each new song. I've been on this ride with so many reactors, as a lot of us have and it never gets old, especially with someone (you) who actually has valid opinions and has an understanding of music and the emotions behind it. There are 2 kinds of reactors on this journey... those who chose to stare at their phone and use the music as background noise, and those who stare wondrously out the windows at the beautiful music landscapes, letting it all soak in. Enjoy the window seat. Edit.. fyi, this is now the 3rd time I've watched this, and rewound every time you laughed.

There are so many reactions on KZbin, but it's really hard to find something of value, something worth listening to... And you are definitely worth it, so I welcome you warmly Bethany! I have been a fan of Nightwish for many years and I know this song very well - I thought that everything about it has already been said and nothing new can be added. I was wrong - you pointed out details that I hadn't noticed myself and no one else mentioned. And that's the point - that's how I understand valuable reaction - thank you! So - please - never apologize for the breaks, because they are the value for which I watch such videos. It is what you say that is important - don't change it!

[@TedinCalgary1952]

Thank you for doing another Floor/Nightwish reaction! I've been waiting for this. I love to hear professional singing teachers give me more information on some of the nuances of Floor's singing style. But I also agree that choosing exactly WHICH songs are best to review Floor's style is difficult, as part of her talent is to mix so many different styles between different songs. Hopefully, as time goes by,, you will have a chance to review some of Floor's SOLO efforts, which can be broken down into three categories: 1) the "Beste Zangers" series; 2) her solo recordings done from her home during Covid ("Adagio" of Lara Fabian, "Alone" of Heart, "Oblivion" from the movie with Tom Cruise, "Let It Go" from the movie "Frozen"); and 3) the recent "Sing Meinen Song" TV special from Germany. (Also Floor has recently released two solo efforts: "Fire" and "Storm"). With the greatest of respect (hey, everybody gets to put in at least ONE request!), may I beseechingly request the first song from the "Sing Meinen Song" series: the cover of singer Clueso called "Zu Schnell Vorbei" (in English: "Over Too Quickly"). It's not available on KZbin but only on VOX: see www.vox.de/cms/sing-meinen-song-clueso-hit-als-metal-song-damit-blaest-nightwish-frontfrau-floor-jansen-alle-weg-4959246.html. It is a great technical performance by Floor, with a great ending where all the singers hug and kiss one another at the success of Floor's performance --- a really joyous celebration of the craft of singing for singing's sake! I'm sure you will love it!

[@BrendonChase_2015]

Floor's "Zu Schnell Vorbei" version can be found on the Odysee channel of Jenniezelf, Dutchie translator who also has a YT channel here. It has English subtitles embedded. A lot of things that YT blocks can be found on her Odysee channel. Cheers from Amsterdam!

Great reaction - it's always fun to watch someone discovering Nightwish and Floor for the first time. Your joy reminds us how we felt hearing them for the first time. Next steps? Well I'd suggest Romanticide from the same concert, or Seven Days To The Wolves from Wembley in 2015. Both of these will show you Floor singing with Marko (the bassist) and that will give you a WHOLE other vocal feast to analyse, because he's a stunning singer in his own right. Other people with have other ideas of course, but it really doesn't matter 'cos you can't put a foot wrong with Nightwish. Have fun!

NEVER a problem for Nightwish fans to pause, & rewind, If you pause you need to. I loved your reaction, we feel the joy too. An interesting fact is this was Floor’s first concert as a permanent member of the band, & it had not been announced yet. It was announced later in the year with the release of their newest album. She had replaced the bands 2nd singer in mid October, 2012, on a tour in the US. They called her, she had to learn this enormous set list in 48 hours. They did a documentary on this , called “Please Learn the Set List in 48hours”. She was just coming out of an extended period of a burn out, which she speaks to in interviews. She had her own band, was writing the music, lead singer, did about everything, when that happened. She is an amazing person, beyond the best singer to me in my lifetime, at least singing the music I love. If you want some Floor only, she did some great vocals on a TV Show, Beste Zangers.2019, which included a couple of versions of Shallow, & Phantom of the Opera, is a must hear.

[@skeezesmith7954]

The songs at Wacken 2013 were written before Floor joined the band. She added a lot to several songs. That classical bit was originally a pre-recorded choir in the background. The end of Ghost Love Score wasn't even in the original. If you want to hear a gritty Floor with a little growling try 'Yours is an Empty Hope' live at Wembley. She recently kicked off a side solo career with two songs so far. I recommend 'Storm'. You can do the official music video or a live version at HLF8. This is not her Nightwish voice being used. The genre is called 'Floor' 😊🤘

That's what makes the Wacken concert such a joy to watch: you can see all of them raising each other to another level. Smiles all around.

Please check How's the Heart - acoustic version, Floor really shines there imo.

[@somedigitalist7681]

I don't think you should feel bad for pausing, or to talk even more about the technical things you notice. You're a voice teacher, after all. If people just want to watch someone make wow faces without any pausing or analysis, there are plenty of reaction channels that offer that. It's also so nice to see a voice teacher recognize all the little things that Floor does in her performances. She's amazing at using dynamics, vocal colors, phrasing, and vocal effects as tools to aid storytelling. She also mostly uses epiglottal twang in her belting and relatively little nasopharyngeal "twang", so her belts tend to be less super bright sounding than they are for a lot of singers (though she does occasionally use both when she feels a song moment calls for it). Keep up the good work!

[@MisterJ56]

@@TheVocalyst Yes, she did. There are several documentaries (approx. 2 hours long) where Floor is telling how she got involved/being asked to help out the band during their US-tour when the second singer (Annette Olzon) had to go to the hospital with (I think) a severe flue. Floor got the phonecall from Tuomas on her sister’s weddingday and she sat the day after on the plane ….. learning the setlist in 48 hours!

I don't mind the pausing at all! I like the technical stuff. Thnx for this 'happy' reaction #onemoretime 😂

[@kyrosv1289]

I am so happy that you have chosen Storytime! I'm loving your reactions! no problems at all with the pausing, do as many as you think is right! It is, and it is going to be, an absolute joy to watch your reactions to Nightwish and Floor's separate performances!! Thank you for this one!! ... Next I suggest Ever Dream from the same concert!!

[@natm0808]

your smile watching them is so nice, and please, pause all you want, I really appreciate the information you give about the techniques Floor uses. It helps a lot to someone who doesn't have great knowledge about this and just enjoys the band. Also, can I selfishly ask you to react to "Ever Dream" wacken 2013? that one is probably my other favorite song from this spectacular concert besides this.

[@JaakkoTK]

Beeethanyyyy! 🎶🎶 You´ve just schratched the surface of this wormhole! We need more 🥰🥰, greetings from Finland!

[@milipro828]

Absolutely love the huge smiles as you go through the video!

[@northof4912]

Literally was listening to this song while passing through the Rocky Mountains in Canmore Alberta - during a lightning storm, on about the same day this was posted. Hitting Floor’s operatic bridge, while lightning is flashing all around you - I highly recommend it!!!

[@peterbell3199]

Always extra enjoyable watching Vocal teachers/experts loving Floor like we do and admiring the talents of the Valkyrie Queen.

[@GenghisClaus]

I've watched this concert so many times. I love how happy the rest of the band looks, knowing that they hit the jackpot with this new singer they recently got.

[@marvinboswell6889]

The whole nite wish band are just world class performers and the keyboard player writes most of this , that alone should blow ur mind .enjoyed

[@rickclark5641]

Pause and go back all you want. The enjoyment you project is addicting and I love it.

[@fjnw]

Found your channel just an hour ago. Love your reactions and that you share the appreciation for Nightwish and Floor with us. When I first discovered Nightwish I was completely in awe, I recognise a lot in the way you react to them. To appreciate Floor from a different perspective may I recommend 'Valley of the queens' from Ayreon. Floor singing together with two other great dutch metal vocalists, Anneke and Marcella!

[@craigbolton5093]

I'm really enjoying watching you discover this genre, and this wonderful band.

[@scottchadburn1535]

Another wonderful reaction, thank you. 😃👏🏻 Floor is the truely one of the greats.

[@YESTERWYNDE]

love your joyfull reactions. thank you

[@len2193]

Great reaction. Floor is awesome and the way the band smiles during the performance show they know they are killing it!

[@chadbennett7873]

Your face just lights up as you watch this amazing woman perform. You obviously recognize the talent that you've discovered ... a voice teacher's dream, an example that you can use to demonstrate the techniques you are teaching. Welcome to Nightwish ... stop listening to them at your own pleasure peril. Every song is an epic journey and are new and fresh, no repetition or derivative songs. Tuomas is the greatest composer of my lifetime, in my opinion. I know you're focused on the vocals, but you did mention aspects of the composition. You are watching six musical geniuses come together to create a collection of near perfect music. I have to laugh at your shy "one more time" ... as if you think we don't want to hear it again too!! hahahaha. New sub! Enjoy!

[@sfrjenkins]

Nightwish army Texas here! Enjoyed the reaction. I saw them live in May. It was great!!! Edit to add. I love your professional breakdown! Thanks!

[@loulagro2315]

Thank you for the awesome reaction and expert analysis, and thank you for finding our amazing Floor and Nightwish. What a band, ... and as for her, she should be at the top of the list here in America.

[@elm6944]

I just love watching your reaction here... for like the hundredth time! Would love for you to react to new Nightwish at Hellfest from this summer!MORE FLOOR PLEASE!!! LOVE YOU! Erica Scottsdale Az!

[@pani40]

Awesome 👌 she simply the best, and her stage presence is off the chain 🤘

[@jukkahelminen9071]

Great to have you back with Nightwish! It’s nice to listen to everything you hear about their performance and singing. If you take their next song from the same Wacken 2013 concert, “Everdream,” you’ll hear a little glimpse of how their bassist uses his voice. Floor sings, but the bassist has three small moments during the song.

[@brooksvanholt6821]

It is satisfying to see someone appreciate Nightwish from the get go. Floor absolutely killed it at Wacken 2013, the whole band did! Beautiful music with near perfect execution. The magic of that night is historic in my opinion. The stamina to churn out each song so brilliantly is a feat that may never be duplicated.

[@mgunter]

While watching the video I grew increasingly anticipation for the innocence part.

[@genabrady1348]

For high belting power, Everdream. For more control jumping through registers and navigating complex melody, How's the Heart. For something completely different, Yours is an Empty Hope, followed by Romanticide. Ghost River for more Marko and Floor together. And by then, you will be wanting a whole lot more Marko, so Islander and While Your Lips are Still Red are must listens .

[@ToddPro]

Excellent reaction, saw Nightwish in Minneapolis a month or so ago, Floor was amazing, as was the band, hope to see more reactions! Wacken is the sh*t...miss Marco 🤘

[@PaulOutdoors]

I loved it that you paused so much. Please don't be sorry. This is the effect that Floor has on you... I'd not heard of Floor or Nightwish 5 months ago and decided to see what all the fuss is about after hearing things about them and OMG I'm so glad that I did. A beautiful reaction. Thank you. Paul 😊👍

[@timliddicoat4870]

Thank you for the review. I'm from Wisconsin. Found this band by accident on KZbin and have been blown away.
