Actually this band has 4 singers! Never forget Marco!

[@toniamsterdam3910]

Marco is great! Love him! :)

[@malthevinther2029]

Technically Troy also does occasional backing vocals now :)

[@MCO2ATL2DTWby777]

Well if you want to count Alissa White-Gluz and Elize Ryd for that one show in Denver 2012

[@Draztikus]

@@MCO2ATL2DTWby777 always. And there's even a recording of Elize singing Nemo

[@Draztikus]

Also, Tapio WIlska (formerly of Finntroll) also did some vocals on early albums

[@DeviltoGeorgia34]

I think what we all can agree on is that Tarja, Anette, and Floor all have things that make them unique to the others and Tuomas is a brilliant composer who knows how to utilize each one's individual strengths.

[@billgregson169]

It just feels to me that Floor and Nightwish really needed each other. Nightwish needed somebody who could sing pretty much anything they could throw at her, and Floor needed a band that could give her demanding material that allows her to excel at what she does. Personally I find there are some songs that just work perfectly for Tarja and so it must be quite daunting for other vocalists to cover them (and she's such an essential element to the history of the band). I also really loved the albums on which Anette was the vocalist. I think she was courageous to take on the role after Tarja and personally appreciate what she added.

[@renatob9909]

I got into Nightwish because Tarja's voice, her opera tone was in sharp contrast to metal sound, and that was never heard before. I like how you describe her voice as dark, it is indeed!

[@zyche03]

I became really in love with Nightwish because of Tarja... Her style is my favorite... It adds spells to the poetic lyrics of nightwish's songs...

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

Of course, the earlier albums were written to fit her voice. Annette couldn't have her development in Nightwish they couldn't fine tune their sound to match her voice, it's more pop there's no doubt about it, but she is talented too And now they have the opportunity to make so much amazing music, Nightwish won the lottery by having Floor join the team, she is one of the greatest singers in the world in terms of talent and professionalism

[@zyche03]

My beautiful and amazing Princess yes... it was because of Floor that I listened to Nightwish again, actually... The first time I heard her voice, I thought it fits really well with the Nightwish sound and the more I listened to her, the more I became in love with her voice... I think she's the perfect fit for Nightwish (after Tarja) that has completed the puzzle pieces... but Tarja will always be a part of my heart... her style is something that has opened my mind that opera could also be a part of metal... and the first symphonic metal song (Nemo) that I have listened to is sung by her so she will remain special to me and that will never change... Annette, on the other hand, is a good vocalist too, don't get me wrong, actually, Eva, which she sung, is one of my favorites... it's true that her voice did not fit much with the nightwish's sound but that doesn't mean she's a bad vocalist... I just thought, with her high pitch timber, singing in a metal band could be bad for her vocal chords...

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

@@zyche03 That is very true! Tarja has a great legacy in Nightwish and in symphonic Metal, Nightwish inspired many other young mental fans to form their own bands, I believe Simone Simons from Epica (one of my absolutely favorite) started singing cause she used to Listen to Nightwish still in the early days Annette is a great singer indeed, It's just that they couldn't have enough time to fine tune their music to match her, if she stayed for maybe one more albums I believe they could've come up with a great album! And ofc Floor is just mesmerising as a singer All three are great singers

[@zyche03]

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess very well said... 😊😊😊

[@carlroy]

I became in love because of Tarja but I stayed because of Floor. I appreciate the effort of Anette, the album they made her was good but the older song dosen't fit her. Floor Jensen can do the old song and the new one too. Love her voice.

[@kilbridemeredith8742]

Three angels, each marking a time in an enduring ensemble of competent musicians! Nightwish!

[@marcusanton95]

I will always love and follow Tarja she is an angel that walks among us mortals, that said Floor is pure GODDESS. She can do all of it without missing a step.

[@NotToday1989]

I saw the Nightwish show in Berlin yesterday and Floor was amazing! Not only her voice, but her presence on stage, so much energy! She is just incredible, love her

[@RealityDysfunction85]

Tarja was what drew me to Nightwish. My favorite album is Imaginaerum with Annette singing. My favorite song is Floors live version of Ghost Love Score. We also cant forget all three singers are just wonderful conduits for Tuomas' musical and lyrical genius.

[@ma-ma-mamary3946]

Freaking loved Floor in After Forever. Glad she's back in the main music scene.

[@octo448]

I grew up on Tarja's recordings so I think to my ear I'll always prefer that operatic quality, particularly for a song like Nemo, but it was really neat to see them all side by side. I tend to associate that style with Nightwish itself, so to hear some of Anette's stuff sometimes makes me go "Oh, wow, that's Nightwish! I had no idea!" All of them are undoubtedly very talented and it was really neat to hear you deconstruct what was happening between the clips. Thank you!

[@NealB123]

I like Floor the best. She not only has the most dynamic voice (for lack of a more technical description), but her stage presence is just off the scale.

[@Ministry_0f_Truth]

@WhoDarestheMAN gamer I'm not a huge NW fan, so I only knew a few older songs from Tarja's era. I really like them (except the Phantom ...). I didn't even know who Floor Jansen is, just until a few weeks ago when I discovered her various performances in the Dutch show Beste Zangers. But woooow, I was so impressed! She's incredible. What a singer! Amazing versatility. It doesn't really matter to me if she can sing operatic exactly like Tarja (she probably wouldn't even want to be Tarja's clone) but she can also do metal growls and powerful chest singing that Tarja probably can't. Tarja only sings operatic and she's great in it, but I admire Floor's versatility and I also love her stage presence. Btw, I think there's nothing to complain about performance like this :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5a3qnSQqbtoras

[@Ministry_0f_Truth]

​@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Oh, Phantom of the Opera in particular is the song that I really don't like at all as performed by Nightwish (Tarja and Marko). To me it's awful. Tarja's voice is OK, Marko doesn't fit as a "Phantom" to me at all, he neither looks, nor sounds like what I imagine as phantom. It almost looks/sounds to me like a parody. There's no comparison with Henk Poort. I also hate when singers hold some tones for too short , like Marko does. Sorry, I can't describe it in technical terms ( I'm not a musician and also not a native English speaker). I mostly don't like the "timing". Tarja's voice is nice, but I don't like how they are singing it, it sounds chaotic to me. Floor + Henk are exactly in line with the rhythm, with chords, etc. I wish I could show you what I mean. Henk: Sing oooooonce agaaaaaain with meeeee Marko: Sing once agaaaaaain withme . Also, Floor is playing nicely with it. Listen how she sings "The panthom of the opera is theeeeere". That's why other singers sitting on the couch are making grimaces like "oh this is cool" :) . And stage presence.. Well, that performance in Beste Zangers is one of the most beautiful things I've seen. The chemistry between Floor and Henk is incredible. Floor's movements.. and her grimace when Henk throws in the voice distortion for her :) I love it. He's been her idol since she was a young girl and you can tell from what you see on that stage. . Btw, kudos to the band too, because it's another aspect that makes is soooo good. I like the music more than that of Nightwish in this particular song. . I would definitely recommend watching some reactions by professional musicians on that performance. Even they say it's the best version ever. Sorry, but I really don't like the Nightwish version. Even Nicole Scherzinger's performance sounds better to me than Tarja with Marko. It might be cool if Tarja sung it with Henk Poort the same way as Floor did, just with her typical voice, but the way they sung it in your video... nah, sorry, I can't enjoy it.

[@Ministry_0f_Truth]

@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Yeah I know that video. But I think Tarja's power is only in operatic singing. I'm not sure if she can sing anything else, for example like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epe8ln-LpNaqZqc . Maybe you know some video where she does. Floor, on the other hand, can sing operatic too (although not the same as Tarja of course, because they have different voices), but she can also do other styles and her chest singing is incredible. Btw, have you heard "O mio babbino caro"? There is a version from Tarja and one from Floor. There are comments from true opera fans below Floor's video and it looks like they really enjoyed it. . I just started watching this video. Let's see what the expert says :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYuWg59noblshrs

[@Ministry_0f_Truth]

@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Well, if we compare ONLY operatic singing, then yes, Tarja is better, but on the other hand, she doesn't really do anything else. I love how Floor can take any song from other singers and make a stunning version of it. That's what the Beste Zangers show is about. I don't know if you've watched it. That was where I fell in love with Floor, at first I didn't even know she's in Nightwish. It was just a week or so later, when I actually watched Ghost Score Love and a few other songs, which I like very much too. . This is how she sings operatic and honestly, it doesn't matter too much to me if Tarja can sing it louder. I absolutely love this version with Floor's voice and some rock/metal mixed in :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSveGiOZs5lh68

[@Ministry_0f_Truth]

@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Oh dear... OK, I think we're done with this one. All vocal coaches here on youtube say exactly the OPPOSITE of what you're saying about Floor, how incredibly talented she is and how she has great technique and control. You can search it up yourself. Or do you need links from me? Sorry, but I'm not gonna feed trolls any more. Enough is enough.

[@batman8293]

Even though Nemo was written during the Tarja era, it didn't do her voice justice imo. It was a lot more on the pop side than their other material. She really shines in the older Power Metal stuff and the more epic Symphonic Metal tracks. Never got the fanboy competition on the internet myself. Enjoy listening to all three. :D

[@Andyw1228]

After Forever was an underrated or not well known Gem. I still listen to them once in a while. So sad that they split/quit.

Thanx very much for this extraordinary comparison of the three singing goddesses ;) Good idea, good analysing! Greetings from Germany/Berlin

[@ThunorOdinson]

Mostly agree draskuul. Bringing Floor onboard has been the best decision the band have made. It was a blow for me when Tarja left and (though she's a fine singer) I could never get used to Annette's voice even in songs she recorded with them. Hearing Floor and her versatility (sort of best of both worlds voice) was a breath of fresh air. Immediately feel in love. And of course, she is a goddess in the live shows. Hope to be able to see her/them again one day.

[@Oniromanciee]

Annette did amazing on her songs, Nemo was not for her but she did her best.

[@maxrav1831]

I love Annetes version of Nemo it's floors version that irritates me.

[@MatiasZunigaV]

Exactly, Anette's songs like Storytime are truly epic. For her, who has a sharper voice and a more "pop" style, her songs have a different essence, which I personally like better.

[@redfielduniverse]

@@maxrav1831 I 100% agree. I don't know what it is but when Floor does songs that weren't made for her it irritates me. She recently did that Frozen cover and it messed up the original for me so now I can't listen to both.

Thank you so much for acknowledging how difficult it is to figure out someone's fach (their place in an operatic system) without hearing them sing/develope an operatic sound.

[@dirk.claassen]

Cool review. Didn’t expect to enjoy your video so much. Usually these vocal coach reaction videos are cringe af, and they hardly ever know the musicians, the song or how to sing... You on the other hand were well prepared, knew what you were talking about and can actually sing! And you weren’t insulting to any of the singers. Thank you for keeping it neutral and honest. Even admitting you can’t reach all the high notes is a big plus. Most of these wannabe vocal divas in their bedrooms act like they know better than the professional singers on stage singing in front of thousands of people selling thousands of records. Will check out more of your videos and your own music!

[@bigg2988]

Those who can really sing and know how much sweat goes into it are usually appreciative on one another... It is mostly asses who do not know much about anything that are insulting. Wishing they were fewer. Great vid, enjoyed!

[@JosephUsher]

[@xfortunesquex]

I want to like this at least a dozen times!!! I like all three singers for different reasons. People act like one is better than the others, and really, it's like comparing an apple, banana, and strawberry. Yeah, they're all fruits (singers), but they didn't become what they are the same way, and aren't even remotely related in type.

[@MinhNguyen-ff6xf]

I don’t think she owns an angelic voice. She is a queen of mystery with powerful voice of a siren rather than a lovely angel. Lol

[@LuisRdzG10]

Floor Jansen to me is the best female singer in the metal genre. She is the full package. I loved Tarja and Annette, love their albums, but I'm enjoying a lot this Nightwish era with Floor. It is like the perfect mix

[@catrionacolville2192]

Nightwish creatively died soon after Tarja left. They haven't made a good album in years. Dark Passion Play was the last thing of quality they made. I can't imagine the band still being active 5 years from now. Their popularity has been waiting for years now. They need to beg Tarja to come back and then get back to basics instead of overwriting songs.

[@romaliop]

Catriona Colville I seriously doubt Tuomas would write any better songs just because Tarja came back. He has a way of doing music that will never again appear as creative as when the band first broke through.

[@TheRasmusDarkFaerie]

Catriona I think the reason why Nightwish seemed more creative with Tarja is because Tarja wrote the vocal parts. Tuomas would send Tarja the music and the lyrics and she would decide how to sing it. I don’t think a lot of people know that or give Tarja credit for that, and I really think that’s why newer Nightwish songs have more generic vocals, even if the instrumental parts are good. Tarja’s husband even mentioned that Tarja never received any money for contributing to the songwriting. Tarja’s Wikipedia page says: “Holopainen wrote the pieces and sent Turunen the lyrics and a demo recording of the prerecorded instrumental tracks by mail. Using the demo, Turunen designed her vocal lines and the choral passages.”

[@spiritoftheforest6204]

I love Floor

[@MerelvandenHurk]

@@catrionacolville2192 I've never been a big fan of Nightwish (until Floor) so I don't know a lot of their work, I mostly only know what they are touring with right now and maybe some other songs here and there. I can't prove you wrong with regards to the difference in creative quality but I think The Greatest Show On Earth is a prima example of there still being at least _some_ creative quality in there. Songs like Élan however, while they sound nice, can't match the greatness of compositions like Ghost Love Score. It's easy to the ears but mostly because it's a lot more pop-ish.

[@hristoganev315]

Hi i really appreciate your professional comment for singers of Nightwish I don't sing but really love Nightwish and for me as a fan Tarja is the best.waiting your other videos greetings from Italy

[@Seventhsonofamaiden]

Of the three singers, Tarja sings with the most open throat. And her voice has the most unique character, that's why she's my favorite.

[@deutschesmaedchen]

Seventhsonofamaiden it’s why she also conveys more power, overall. An open throat means more natural volume and consistency without strain.

[@lucyluca6602]

I can't stand the hell out of her... I can't. Nosey, vibratoholic sounding like a goat, exaggerating, misses the notes multiple times, changing the songs. It's awful to my ears when she sings live. And no, I can't stand Anette either. I mentioned Tarja changing the song. Anette doesn't change the song, she smash them and sing non existent songs instead. Floor man. Floor.

[@deutschesmaedchen]

Lucy LUCA tarja didn’t use to do this until recently, it’s not fair to brand her overall career like this. If you’re new to nightwish/tarja keep doing some research until you’re in a suitable position to moan about stuff.

[@BudhagRizzo]

This was simply the best analysis of comparing all 3 singers.

[@DementedDistraction]

I remember hearing Nightwish for the first time almost 10 years ago, and I loved the instrumentals but haaaaaaaated the vocals, and I kept thinking, 'Damn...if they had a different singer I'd love this band.' Then they got Anette and I was indifferent.... And then they got Floor, and now I can't get enough of this band.

[@carmenismyname]

I have had the exact same experience. Loved the instrumentals but just did not like the voice of Tarja. The constant opera was just getting on my nerves (sorry tarjaholics just my opinion). Then Annette came who seemed out of place but I liked a few songs a lot (fi I want my tears back) but it did not really grab me. And then I heard the ghost score live version in Buenos Aires and man .. I was smitten. Instant fan. Must have replayed that epic ending like a zillion times. I dare to say it is a better version than the Wacken 2013 one.

[@jzundert]

@@ANDZIGCREAM ok i understand

[@draskuul]

As a long-time Nightwish fan, here's how many of us see it. Tarja is pure classical. Annette is pop. Floor is pure Metal. While I never had any real issue with them picking Annette--for the material we *only* knew her for (Imaginareum for example) she was great--she had absolutely no capability of handling the classical / operatic older content. Her performances of older material was a hot mess, to put it mildly. Floor, however, nails and exceeds all of those. Best decision Nightwish has ever made.

[@elidanielgarciamartinez3313]

Exactly. That is why I cannot imagine DPP sung by Tarja. She would destroy The Poet and The Pendulum because her voice would bring too much darkness when the counterbalance of a brighter voice is required. Basically, every Nightwish era has been composed according to the current singer, and that is why a new singer has it very hard to master both early and new repertoire. Floor is amazing by nailing it all, which shows her huge versatility.

[@T_SDuarte]

Could not agree more.

[@PsyloOfficial]

EXACTLY RIGHT!.

[@Diavolo222]

Maybe it's just me but I love all 3 of them lol. I grew up with Tarja so ofc she will always hold a special place for me. But Annete was amazing in DPP and Imaginareum and I truly liked most if not all songs on both albums. And Floor is a metal goddess so there's that. I dunno, I think some people put way too much thought into it. Only thing I didnt like about Annete was that she couldnt really do the old songs like Floor can. But the songs that were written for her, she was amazing in. @@elidanielgarciamartinez3313

[@andypick7533]

@@Diavolo222 Retrospectively, considering the fact that she had no lyrical singing capabilities, do you still think Anette was the right choice for Nightwish at the time? Tuomas Hopolainen October 2013 after Floor had joined - Yes, I do. I’ve said this many times. When I listen to Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum, I don’t think there is another person who could have sung those songs better than her. I really, honestly think so, and the rest of the band does, as well. That was not the issue.

Floor's version of Ghost Love Score is wonderful. It is the rare talent of singing a song as good or better as the original.

[@borisr.17]

She loves this song, it's #1 in her profile on Nightwish website. I guess that's the reason why it sounds so great: singing a song you love most of all, on the stage with one of the greatest metal bands, when many thousands people watching at you and shouting your name - it must be a dream of every singer.

Nobody ever mentions diction. FJansen diction is amazing. No operetic falsetto unless she herself dials it up. She doesn't need that head voice to pull off the job. That voice is coming from her diaphragm. The last scream or note if you will on Ghost... Powerful, clarity and almost effortless. To me it's no contest... This is a rock band. FJ is a rock singer... Period.

[@kimberlyh.1090]

"Operatic falsetto" is a misnomer. There is no falsetto in Classical singing. Tarja is Finnish (where all the members of Nightwish originally came from), that's her accent. I love it personally, it's like Finland was saying "Look and see what we got."

[@burn0uts0n34]

first nightwish react video I've seen with all three singers. love that you show all of them and show the differences. the science behind is really interesting.

I think Anette couldn't reach her full potential at Nightwish. She was very good in Nightwish, but now that she is singing in The Dark Element, just amazing!

[@iTeacupPanda]

It's hard to fill the shoes of someone who is your opposite. People joined Nightwish's fanbase for their unique sound. A sound they helped pioneer and then suddenly they have a much more mainstream and accessible sound? So people felt like they sold out a bit. Anette is very talented but it's hard to fill the shoes of someone who is your opposite who made such an impact on music and is known as " The Voice of Finland " for the country they hail from.

This is awesome. Thanks so much for posting all 3 together in comparison!!!

[@JLConawayII]

Tarja was the reason I got into Nightwish, and then into metal in general. Floor is great as well, love her.

[@dieseldog00]

Same with me and Tarja still has a place in my heart with her warm round operatic tonal qualities. I watched the video of Tarja's presser the day after the band sent her away and I was very depressed. I quit Nightwish completely until I heard Floor singing with them at Wacken 2013. She has captured my heart with her masterful singing as Mary has so eloquently described. Without doubt a premier vocal analyst(I love her voice too!!)

[@dakken74]

Tarja was the reason I got into Night wish, and also the reason i stopped listening to them. Her voice just seemed to sound the same on every song after a while and it got boring listen to them.

[@HK-gm8pe]

yep, my heart will always be with Tarja as well, because she was the reason I started listening the band but I like Floor as well, I hope that they dont let her go

[@DEA983]

Same. And also Nightwish as we know it today, exists only because of Tarja. Tuomas change his acoustic music so it can follow Tarja's full voice.

[@HK-gm8pe]

@@DEA983 yep, they created Nightwish as a heavy metal band to support Tarjas amazing voice,many people dont know that, I would argue that for that alone Tarja was very important for Nightwishs success....I would say that Tarja made the band famous and when she "left" I stayed with them but Anette disappointed me soo badly that I didnt return until couple of years ago when I heard that they have changed their vocalist again, I would say that Floor saved the band for sure

[@cristoferpicado4059]

I get why people obsess over Tarja and Floor, I just favour the brightness of Anette contrasted with the music. So much emotion from her.

Tennislovingcoffeeaddict floor is amazing we can all agree. And if she were to go solo? Man oh man. That’ll be delightful. My favourite is still Tarja, with a few songs preferred by Floor I admit, and Anette is a close second because she just brings a whole different mood for me! I enjoy her love performances. She’s full of life and smiles and gets me going.

[@1welshdevil]

@@AlexisRanae it's a joy to watch her perform on stage, she had big shoes to fill with Tarja, and best for me is that she didn't try to copy, but she reinterpreted the songs, credit also to Tuomas. I do prefer Tarja on some songs, but just now and then, with Siren and Sleeping Sun, Anette dazzles.

[@RoseForEverafter]

Omg finally someone who can actually explain in technical terms what I mean when I think that Floor has a very medium tone! Cuz I knew I was hearing it. In my head I’ve always considered Floor and also Sharon den Adel to have very “neutral” voices but didn’t know why I was hearing that or how to describe it well.

[@VampyrMygg]

I loved After Forever and was happy when I saw Floor even joined in Ayreon for a song or two, and when she joined Nightwish, I was quite happy, she's the perfect fit for that band. This is the first time I've actually agreed with someone speaking on the three vocalists, most people I encounter seem to worship Tarja, I was just never hugely into the classical style, Anette sounded kinda meek in comparison to Tarja however, so she didn't feel completely right either, but it finally opened for Marco to do a song, I love the Islander. So when Floor became the new vocalist, Nightwish became better in my mind, but opinions differ, I ain't gonna hold others opinions against 'em, but still nice to see someone not just shitting on the two other vocalists because they're not Tarja.

[@eventsotherthingswithchris9019]

I'd love to agree on Floor being a perfect fit, however, I feel Nightwish somehow dulls her down quite a bit in search of something that sounds "radio friendly". Its too bad Adrienne from the band Blackbriar is in that band. I think she would've been some one who could've filled in. I love Floor, but since you brought up After Forever, it seemed between that band and Revamp, plus a few other things that Arjen put together, you get a more "powerful" presence than most of what Nightwish seems to want to do now. Night wish with Tarja had more of an "in your face" approach to a good portion of the songs but became watered down & pop rock-ish by the time Annette came in & stayed somewhere between pop-metal and maybe, euro new metal mixed with symphonic/ melodic ( if you wonder why new metal, its due to a lack of cool guitar solos like NW used to have.) As far as Marko, he's kind of a cool singer & reminds me a bit of Devon Townsend vocally mixed in with Meatloaf as a vocalist. I also originally thought Floor was there only as a "temporary" singer helping NW out? This was what folks were told before she decided to go more full time with them. It would he nice to have NW redevelop a more "grittier" sound like they had with Tarja but IDK if Tuomas would "allow" it.

[@Kirmeins]

@Necroglobule Oh dear... that one came low! And I like it! :P

[@iTeacupPanda]

I think it's hard to compete with Tarja. She is literally the Opera + Metal pioneer in symphonic metal. The go-to face. It's like trying to replace Aretha Franklin in a soul music lineup. So that major impact ontop of her having SUCH a distinctive voice? her voice is not only more different it's just fuller - thicker - richer and heavier. It packs a lot more drama to it and this gives Tarja's diva role a lot of charisma and depth that is aluring to see to a LOT of people. Plus Tarja has only improved given Opera singers don't reach prime til 40. It's understandable why people are let down by comparison. In Anette's case they came for Tarja and got her opposite. In Floor's case, she literally replaced a woman that she is unavoidably massively inspired by?

[@joshcavaradossi4813]

Me too! But I think Floor swing much better in AF than in nightwish even that Floor as wonderful and its gret having her again in a great band like nightwish

[@Noubei]

I'm not shitting on Floor and Anette, I just think that Tarja sticks better to the spirit of the band. You can hear in the first albums that she is also a muse and clearly inspired for the writing of the lyrics also I liked the duo Tarja/Marco I compare to Beauty and the Beast. With Floor and Marco, there is two beasts. That's why I'll always prefer Tarja, but not on stage: she doesn't have the metal culture and doesn't fit. Sorry for english.

[@user-qi3bf4lq8c]

Annete and Floor have amazing voices, but Tarja's voice is PURE MAGIC at all

[@RAimotion]

[@amandaburger4927]

I agree. Tarja is who caught my attention originally. I've listened to so many of the live performances. Tarja always was wonderful. Anette is only good in the song bye bye beautiful. Floor is amazing but I've heard slip ups and tones that were less than desirable when she was trying to do what tarja does. So for me it's a 60/40. Tarja being the 60 and floor the 40. Getting rid of Anette was their best decision.

[@Atturam]

So... think it`s comes time for Tuomas to change front vocalist again ("we do Ameri ... pff ... we do band great again"), because floor with time becames booring, but marco did his solo album (out in January 2020) ... sooo...maybe new solist will be Man, not female ... :P ;)))

3 wonderfull singers. Anette is from same city Helsingborg as me and she was part of a musical-project called ”Gränsland”=”Borderland” with both professionals and amateurs back in the 90:s. I was working with the stage and maybe also the pr-layout, so long ago so don’t remember fully. Anette and all the other actors/musicians made a hell of perfomance😃👍🏻. Wish that the music was recorded but sadly not. Anette made a beautiful job in Nightwish, she made the music softer, more welcoming, not so bombastic. Don’t missunderstand me, Tarja is a stunning singer an she has really made her a place among the biggest stars in at least Europe. Love her solo-work😘 I was very surprised when Anette also left Nightwish. But if i should be really honest then Nightwish with Floor has reached perfection, it just can’t be any better! Floor and Nightwish are truelly magical!💜🌺

[@mikatu]

The current singer is the perfect singer for the band, the others are not even at the same level

[@sonjaemery]

Tom McNamara I disagree. They are all unique in their own way.

mikatu Tarja and her classical technique is technicaly 1 league above Floor. Nightwish was transformed into a metal band around Tarja's voice and every song she made with them sound better than the new versions. No matter how much I look at it I cannot find how people can state that Floor is the ultimate Nightwish singer like if it is the absolute truth.Floor's opera/ metal vocals are contemporary and therefore less agile, less sustained, the vocal amplification (''Resonance'' ) is mediocre, her vibrato is forced, she has difficulty doing legato... Meanwhile Tarja is quite agile, has a fuller voice due to a better support and , her voice is twice as strong if we talk about resonance ring, her vibrato is powerful and healthy, a timbre that is arguably of better quality (Objective not subjective), she sustain both lower and higher... she can even modify her technique a little to produce a 6th octave note that ressembles Daniel Heiman's D6 screaming. Tarja could probably still sing at 60 years old while Floor will lose her voice way before that age.This is the difference between classical singers and contemporary. There is a reason why people are still talking of Tarja after almost 15 years, her voice is what made Nightwish become a metal band and no matter how many new fans say that Floor is better , Tarja is the best vocalist out of the 3.Period.

[@bomblade15]

Mathieu Lizotte I feel tarja has one style and never strayed from it in any song I’ve heard. But Nightwish songs have different feels and emotions and I don’t think they should be song by one style. Floor can sing in many different ways. Not to mention her stage presence is incredible.

[@bomblade15]

Mathieu Lizotte their stuff is different now? How so? I happen to like the live versions of all of their songs with Floor as the vocalist. Not to mention they’ve only done one album with Floor. I would have to look up the numbers to see their success over the years, but Nightwish seems to be reviewing a lot more recognition in the last 8-10 years. This isn’t to say I don’t love old Nightwish too. There’s more to being a great frontman(woman) than having a “better” voice. Steven Tyler is not a great singer but he is a great singer for Aerosmith and one of rocks greatest vocalists.

My favorite Nightwish singer is Annette. I grew up on Tarja, but I grew to love Annette. She did have a diva moment, but when I met the band for a meet and greet she was the most grateful out of the whole band to meet fans. She was the only one who came to the front of the stage when the set ended to sign more autographs while the rest of the band walked back stage. I was told her culture which she comes from is a bit more open and upbeat than the culture the rest of the band comes from. Regardless of that theory, she was a very sweet person when I met her and it was one of the very few meet and greets that was worth my time.

Thank you for the comment and for the explanation. I have a smidgen of musical knowledge, based from my experiences in High School band ad choir and a one semester voice class in college, but I had no idea on most of the technical aspects of the differences between 'belting' and classical/operatic singing, nor of the differences in the types of mixing. I also had no idea what 'color' meant in terms of voice. It was interesting to learn this, and also to hear the explanations on exactly what makes the stylings of Tarja, Anette, and Floor. I could hear the differences, but did not know the techniques that went into them.

To be exact. Nightwish is from (Worlds Heavy Metal Capital) Finland.

[@cyberdan42]

Superb, interesting and informative. Exemplifies my view that Floor is the most flexible of the trio and can provide real power across a huge range of the Nightwish library. I never warmed to Annette, for her own material she was excellent but her vocals on older NW material grated with me. Tarja introduced me to NW, I loved her and her unique vocal, when she left I thought the band was going to be significantly poorer for the future. I was very wrong. Floor provides a range which neither other had and a passion and charisma neither could match. The Floor version NW is transcendent for me, I understand many others have different legitimate opinions, don't much care - for me Floor Nightwish are one of the best bands I've ever had the privilege to experience.

[@WhereRainDiesthLight]

As a vocalist, I have to say it is great and refreshing to see stuff like this reviewed from a technical point of view. So kudos on that! Something I would find quite interesting is a review of a same singer but going from their begginings to their current state. One I have in mind is Anneke van Giersbergen. She's one of my reference singers and I think she's gone through quite a change since when she started with The Gathering, a more mixed voice in belting, to now, where she resonates more in the head while still using a belting style. Thanks and keep up the great work!
