What i love about these reactions is people come to see tarja and leave amazed at how good marko is.

[@Rosannasfriend]

Absolutely. Marco is a surprise. Especially if you weren’t familiar with him or that familiar with his voice before watching this performance. Tarja, you’re kind of expecting to sound amazing even before you hear a note. But that doesn’t mean that Tarjadidn’t do an amazing job. Both knocked it out of the park!

[@Rosannasfriend]

It looks like he loved both equally.

[@nassj6593]

He's amazing. I find amusing how he is taken as "just a screamer" until they actually listen to him and are surprised and amazed at his voice quality and performances. And his adaptability to perform with 3 singers with such different styles and enhance their voice to make the combined effort a delight. He's the best male voice match nightwish could have find. Although Troy is not that far behind. Can this band get any better?

[@mmklassen]

Marko is my spirit animal. What a voice, musician, frontman, he is EVERYTHING!!

[@Maximum357]

I am every day surprised how good Marco is. Love it.

[@Alfaqwad]

Marco really makes this version have a palpable menace with both his voice and bass

[@robinclaidlaw]

He makes the Phantom sound insane, which I love, because he should be when you think about the story.

[@Esmeagolly]

Robin Laidlaw he makes it more menacing and dominating her voice for his own merits instead of a love story, i never liked the love story angle

[@ghostnf9650]

Marko is one of the greatest frontmen in metal, he just had to duet with Tarja Turunen and Floor Jansen, which are different but possibly two of the most powerful, technically gifted singers alive.

[@CapriFB]

Everyone should check out Tarot catalog, there are loads of killer songs and awesome Marco vocal performances. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o36uooFtqt9-ZsU

[@tribaltalker1608]

Marko's high scream is amazing. Tarja has such a lovely sound but the way this duet plays out they both seem superhuman.

[@RoseForEverafter]

‘Superhuman’ is the exact word I always use when telling people about this performance!

[@zachsteiner]

It’s true. Their voices mix together to produce the most unbelievably powerful and haunting tone.

[@thegrtone744]

Welcome to planet Tarja...she's been in my blood for over 2 decades and now she is in yours...Tarja started singing and playing piano at age 5 and had 7 years of pro level classical/operatic training...her enormous voice is what launched the industry...

[@Aurinkohirvi]

It is 7? I guess it depends how one counts, because I don't know exact dates, only years. 1993 - 1995 Savonlinnan taidelukio (Savonlinna highschool of arts), specialized classical the last year. 1996 - 2000 Sibelius Academy, university level music school 2001 - 2003 Karlsruhe Hochschule für Musik.

[@argantyr5154]

Andrew Lloyd Webber, have mentioned in an Interview (several years ago), that he loved this version. I can't remember his exact words. And this is what I love about Nightwish when they do Covers, is that they put their own spin on it while being true to the Original songs because if you make an exact copy, whats the really the point. They do the same thing in High Hopes also from this Concert, and its great Cover.

[@damienmaynard8892]

Dave Gilmour likes the Nightwish tribute version of "High Hopes"!

Walking in the air and over the hills an far away are also great covers.

[@haukionkannel]

The best ”Phantom of the opera” for me! It just works so well. Marko is killing this and Tarjas operatic singing fits so well to this song!

[@hansevers6407]

You said it right “ they singing”

[@angryalanrants9574]

The best era of nightwish. The magic left with her. Truly. The End of an Era

[@Methras]

This version of Phantom of the Opera is forever my ABSOLUTE favourite! The grit and primal voice of Marco combined with Tarja's colorful voice. They changed it up SO much, but still kept the soul of the song. This is a TRUE cover, they took it and made it their own. I love the total chaos in the end! It so fully embraces the mindset of the voice, and the haunting nature of it. I was lucky enough to see them live 2 days before this concert was recorded, and when I heard that this song started, I can not express the emotional reaction I had. I had NEVER thought I would be lucky enough to hear them play this song live. Thanks for the reaction! #WeWereHere

[@morecasual]

Absolutely the BEST version EVER!!!

[@AndyMagnusson70]

Just so you know. Tarja had the flu during this performance and still managed to sing like an angel

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Yeah she had, but she didn't quite manage. Maybe in Phantom of the Opera. But when I listen her other songs they are better in other concerts. And as she wrote in her open letter after the concert that she was just so happy she could pull it through despite of her flu, and told in an interview she couldn't sing in the morning rehearsals at all, then there probably was difficulties. The 2nd half of Ghost Love Score her voice was spent, it is the clearest case for me, I noticed her problems when I was comparing the background singers in EoaE GLS, two other live versions of GLS and the album version, and found that there are two different versions what comes to the background choir. First half she could still sing, but second half no...

[@ligeiasiren4290]

@@100blueeyedboy Yes NW did a cover of it on Century Child I believe. It was also on the End of an Era setlist. It along with Wish I had an Angel were the songs that got me hooked on NW.

I recommend more Nightwish with Tarja: - Swanheart, Walking in the air, Dead boys poem (very emotional songs), Pharion sails to orion from the concert DVD From Wishes to enternity. - Planet hell, Wishmaster, The siren from the concert DVD End of an Era - End of all hope from the Summer Breeze festival 2002.

[@bahplensack]

I was just gonna recommend some of these songs

[@gamaramdi5469]

Slaying the dreamer!

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Slaying the Dreamer could be a Tuomas reaction. Or reaction to Marco's "Perkele". What comes to Tarja's vocals it is a poor song, nothing to write home about.

High Hopes, Pink Floyd cover,same concert ,it will blow you away ,all Marco

[@mriverarod]

Tarja is awesome singer.

[@soundslikeblue]

Amazing reaction video! Thank you very much Mike Goodrich! Tarja Turunen was the original Nightwish vocalist for almost a decade, defining a big part of their sound with her classically infused vocal techniques which combined perfectly with Nightwish's inicial power metal and later symphonic metal sound, and also with Marco's vocals, as you noticed it was a perfect match in every way! The great thing is that Tarja has been having an amazing solo career in the last 15 years... Her voice is really high (her last note on this one is an Eb6), but also a full and really powerfull sound (and in her career she always keeps on experimenting new things with her vocals, including a haunting dark and lower register she can belt out), plus having this theatrical presence on stage... I'm really glad you liked it! As a sugestion, I'll leave you 3 links for some essential Live performances by Tarja Turunen solo in recent years: 1st - A very energetic Live version of "Victim of Ritual" (song composed by Tarja)... the crowd really goes wild at this one - from Woodstock festival: kzbin.info/www/bejne/famnn5uYfLl9idU 2nd - An unbeliavable version of "Supremacy" (a Muse cover) Live at Hellfest festival - Very powerfull high notes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ6wc3yVZb1mpac 3rd - As an amzing follow up to the Nightwish video you just watched, here it is "Stargazers" in a Live performance where Tarja surpassed even hersef in the studio version from Nightwish's legendary "Oceanborn" album... its simply a Perfect and unmatched redition: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHnPY5yYlrqpmbM (starting at 40.56min) I hope you enjoy these ones as much as I do! Cheers! \m/ \m/

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Seconded Stargazers. The other two get reacted most often of Tarja's after Nightwish songs. Although none of those songs get reacted often.

[@jeremytassin7978]

Marco is freakishly good. He is the standout in the song for me.

[@ligeiasiren4290]

LOL

[@emmanuelperez2218]

I think that nightwish with tarja was their BEST moment

[@damonbryan7232]

This is so bittersweet to watch. This was my introduction to nightwish back in 05. Then to know, right after this performance is when the band gave Tarja the "open letter".

[@oo.llpee.7457]

What a great reaction! As an old NW fans, it really warms my heart to hear positive comments about Tarja's vocals, because I have always loved them. Too bad so many new fans can't really appreciate her era, and some can't stand that operatic sound (and it's not even full opera, she can go full opera-mode when needed). But, Nightwish has many great cover songs, like "Walking In The Air" (Snowman by Howard Blake) from their "From Wishes To Eternity" Concert-DVD. Then of course "Over The Hills And Far Away" (Gary Moore Cover) and "High Hopes" (Pink Floyd cover, with Marko's vocals). Both from their "End Of An Era" Concert-DVD. But both of those two DVD's are full of great original NW songs, so I'm not sure what I'd like you to watch next. All of their live DVD's are 100% golden, with Tarja and with Floor. So I just hope that you continue doing these NW reactions, because there are dozens of songs you need to hear.

[@TinaMUFC10]

Well said :)

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Some people onlu like rock and pop (contemporary style). It's not that they are only against Tarja (although some do that to boost their idol). The Latin Americans are more used to operatic and classical vocals than North Americans. I read from Wikipedia that in the USA opera singers that had vibrato were disliked, although in Europe vibrato was considered beautiful. There's plenty of Tarja's fans who speak Spanish, many North Americans don't like her. Edit: made clearer use of America, North America and the USA.

[@AnOldGreyDog]

Compare with the version by Floor and Henk Poort from the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers. Similar, but different (NOT "better", though). Just another version to enjoy. Btw, it's pronounced Tar-ya...

[@athlonen]

Gonna nitpick here. You can't really compare them. Here's why. Both this and what Floor and Henk did on Beste Zangers are the Nightwish arrangement of the song. To really get picky, you could call them 'similar' Nightwish arrangements. The arrangement done on Beste Zangers is the arrangement that Nightwish did on their studio track for this. Everyone seems to forget that this came out on their album "Century Child", which came out in 2002. that arrangement is slightly different than this one here. Beste Zangers went straight with the album track, while this one is caught in the moment, live.

[@mmklassen]

Absolutely agree. And everything Floor sang on Beste Zangers was off the hook.

[@hansevers6407]

I like to ad something very importante remark for the male singer: the composer Mr. Andrew Loyd Webber said after seeing the Dutch version of the musical the Phantom, mr. Poort is the best Phantom I ever heart. There is an other remark to make on these 2 renditions : Marko and Tarja sang the part, but Henk and Floor played the part.

[@Gufnorkian]

@@hansevers6407 Marko absolutely played the part. A darker, grittier and more animalistic phantom than most do, but his performance is just as theatrical. You can't compare to Floor when it comes to acting a song though, she outshone Tarja in that aspect.

[@rominajuarez4095]

Is Ta-rria

[@Darkstarkaizer]

This is the best duet. Those two are magic

[@MaskinJunior]

But since he (Andrew Lloyd Webber) wrote Phantom of the Opera for his wife (Sarah Brightman) , he can never confess this is his favorite version.

[@Bambuzzsprosse]

I actually don't care what videos you are reacting to. It's your genuine and honest emotions and enthusiasm that we can see radiating from you with every second and every note played. It is soooo amazing to see passionate people do what they love. Please, don't ever stop being that awesome = )

[@Rafael-qi9bt]

I love Tarja's voice! Nightwish has 9 studio albums, 5 with Tarja (first vocalist and co-founder of the band), 2 with Anette and 2 with Floor, the current singer. Most of the most beloved songs were originally recorded with Tarja. It would be nice if you checked the original versions. As a first suggestion, an analysis of "Slaying the Dreamer" or "The Siren", both recorded on the DVD "End of an Era", would be good. The differences between Tarja's belting and lyrical singing give a very beautiful color to these songs. Thank you!

Interesting seeing your reaction to this song being so favourable - this was actually how I found Nightwish way back in 2003/04 ish. I heard a more classical version of the Phantom of the Opera song somewhere, then tracked down a couple of different versions. Had no idea why one of them was labeled with Nightwish - keep in mind this is before modern incarnations of KZbin and Wikipedia made it easy to find out things like that, listened to it last of the versions I found and had my mind absolutely blown by the piece.

Another great song with the two is The Siren from this same concert. I find The Siren more mesmerizing than The Phantom of the Opera, but we all know Phantom is more iconic and therefore more well know. Still, it would be awesome if you could analyze the performance. Tarja produces some chant-like sounds that always sends me to another world. The performance is on Tarja's channel, btw. Cheers.

PLEASE listen to Marco and Nightwish doing the cover of High Hopes by PF.! His voice his gorgeous in that....and it’s such a good cover.

[@lost_in_a_crowd_of_3257]

you are right that Marco is closer to being the Phantom than some of the other professionals i've seen playing the roll

[@docmetal8194]

Have been hoping you would react to this, but thought maybe you had already & I missed it. Outstanding! Thank you!

[@riquelpyles1421]

Thumb's up before it starts. Awesome, can't wait for the way you feel this one.

I love seeing people react to tarja singing. Most reaction videos are of Floor (She's amazing) and once they've heard the "new" nightwish and go back to tarja, the reaction is just awesome. I myself grew up with tarja in the group, heard anette for a while and was amazed by floor.

[@boou26]

Great reactions Mike. If you like Marcos voice so much you should really react to their cover of Pink Floyds "High Hopes" from the same consert (End of an Era 2005) You are going to be blown away ;) Rock on

[@amandapreston2125]

U were right Webber loved this cover said it's what he always wanted the phantom to sound like

[@shipargos]

Best Version, period! its not up for dispute, loved it!

[@mix6809]

loved the reaction, thanx man...

[@BazzilioSPb]

Mike, thank you for reaction from Saint-Petersburg!))

[@robertjacobson587]

I believe there was a paper written saying that modern metal/rock relates closely to classical/opera. It’s kinda cool to see how they can mend together with covers like this!

[@joelvog82]

the "new"nightwish it´s great! honestly... but, as an old nightwish fan, this bring me memories, i miss tarja on nightwish "poet without a rhyme"

[@42nazgul]

Hi Mike, thank you so much for this reaction, greetings from Denmark

[@ErykaVasconcelos]

Please react to Tarja - I Walk Alone (live Rosario, Argentina). And Tarja - Supremacy (live Woodstock 2016). Nightwish (with Tarja) - Sleeping Sun (The End of an Era Show) and Slaying The Dreamer (same show)! It's just amazing!

I think the part that really amazes me when I listen to this is that Tarja was sick with the flu. She was taking vomit and hydrating in between songs. The fact that she could come out at the end of a long and obviously difficult concert and just kill it. You gotta give her props cause there aren't many performers who could do that. Especially with an operatic singing style. That takes so much breath and control. I know when I'm sick and vomiting my throat kills. You couldn't tell with her. Simply amazing.

[@Muck006]

"I grew up with this in the 80s" ... and this performance is already 20 years old (almost).

[@mishaaleksander2782]

Hi Mike, Tarja was with the band from the beginning (I supposed she can be said as one of Nightwish's founders) and Toumas decided to go for metal because of her voice. Anyway, as others have given you the suggestion, I would love to have you reacting to other Tarja's live performance (Nightwish) such as : "Swanheart" (link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIq5nWmDhL-Lf9U ) and "Walking in the air (link :"www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA)8xIfZHU-g ). Those are very beautiful songs and Tarja sang it beautifully and majestic. Thank you!

[@Aurinkohirvi]

There's a remastered version of Swanheart kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqTGXomEpdWLntU which has much better video. Maybe audio too.

[@michaelsatcher781]

Mike, I just discovered your channel today. I am now a subscriber. I love your enthusiasm and genuinely love for music.

[@LauraGomez-wr8ir]

I agree with you, this version is amazing! Please react to Tarja's solo career, she's a great singer. Her cover of Muse 'Supremacy' in Woodstock wil blow your mind away.

[@johnekare8376]

Oh man, just because you added that "whooo o o you're in the army now" quotation I hade the thought that I would love to hear how Nightwish would cover that song! I mean it could be the Nightwish Army's theme song.
