Welcome to Floor Jansen, the 6'1" Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. You've heard about 40% of what she can do. I've heard her sing rock, metal, classical aria, country, lullaby, smooth jazz, pop and musical. I've heard her sing in English, Dutch, German, Finnish, Spanish, Italian and Latin. I've heard her do deathgrowls and hold a D6 for 8 seconds. And I've heard her do all those things live on stage. Sure, there are singers who can do any of the things she does better than her, but there's only one who can do all of them and sound great doing it all.

[@larryd4352]

She is definitely an amazing woman! What a voice, her clarity,and her ability to not get pitchy at all, well she just blows me away. I doesn't hurt that she is a gorgeous goddess! My goodness...she is a once in a lifetime find! She also has her own KZbin channel where she has more personal stuff...and more singing...I especially like her duet singing a song from "Phantom of the Opera!" It's amazing!

And what exactly makes her a collector of dead warrior souls which a valkyrie is

[@TomTomson81]

@@tonyalmqvist Oh, someone wants to be particularly clever. What you're proving right now is that smart people do stupid things. You know what everyone wants to called Floor a Valkyrie and still decide to go the stupid way just to cause confrontations because you need it. Why that? Too little attention from your environment? Well, you have shown how smart you are and yet how infinitely stupid to believe that this part of the story needs enlightenment from you. Because pretty much everyone knows what valkyries do with their singing. And if you think that hardly anyone knows that, then that's stupid too. And everyone knows, maybe except you, if I overestimate you, that this part of the story is not meant by this statement which I made.

Great reaction. It looked like you were ready to pounce at the screen during the second half. Her name is Floor Jansen (she's Dutch and the band is primarily Finnish). Nightwish should always be listened to live unless there's no alternative (such as their latest album). Floor replaced the earlier singer halfway through their 2012-2013 world tour, so the album versions have one of the two previous singers on them. The last two albums were all Floor. The Wacken concert (2013) is their most reacted to, but there are three other live concerts all over KZbin (Wembley, Tampere, and Buenos Aires), and there is not a bad track on any of them. The Nightwish army should be showing up any time, so get ready.

[@thatoneguyagain2252]

Wait . . . do I hear thunder? No, it's just the sound of the Nightwish Army, headed your way ! You've just taken your first steps into a larger world; there is so much wonder waiting for you. That feeling you experienced at that last high note is called a Floorgasm, which is the natural, involuntary response to singer Floor Jansen. Stay with Nightwish for a while, it'll happen over and over again. If you do more Nightwish reactions, it's practically guaranteed that your views and subscriptions will skyrocket. Nightwish fans are among the most dedicated and passionate fans on Earth, and . . . you're about to become one. Most of us will advise that you stick with the Wacken 2013 concert, as the sound and video are first-rate throughout, and it's a really good introduction to the band's music. My personal favorite is "Ever Dream", but I highly recommend that you check out "Dark Chest Of Wonders", the first song of the concert. (This song is the 13th, can you believe she'd been singing like that for over an hour?) When facing 82,000 screaming fans, Nightwish started off the night with a bang, as you will see. Oh, and fair warning: it's a really short trip from "I never heard of this band" to "This is my FAVORITE band" - and you're already on your way. (MAKE AMERICA NIGHTWISH)

[@Idefixu]

Let me tell you. You're gonna fall completely in love with Nightwish and Floor Jansen. Just keep on reacting to more Nightwish. The Nightwish family will join you for the ride! Enjoy! Good points you made, you understand music. We both recognize good music when we hear it. You mentioned Beethoven. Well, Tuomas Holopainen, keys, the band leader and music writer is aka Metal Mozart. You appreciated the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen keeping the solo simple, because it serves the song right. Like I already said, you understand music. Nightwish definitely helps you reach 10k subs. I suggest for your next Nightwish reaction "Ever Dream" Wacken 2013, because you need to hear Marko Hietala, the bassist, on vocals together with Floor. Their voices complement each other amazingly. If you like it heavier go for one of these. "Song of Myself", "Ghost River" or "Romanticide", Wacken 2013. Nightwish is at it's best live! Greetings from Helsinki Finland! Be safe!

[@jimharris367]

Funny you mention Beethoven - the keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen writes about 95% of their music and lyrics and is often referred to as the Metal Mozart 🤘

I laughed out loud when he said Beethoven 😅

[@chrisenglert3958]

Glad to see you finally found Nightwish and Floor Jansen. I knew it would happen eventually. I have been a fan of Nightwish since 1997 but was more a fan of Floor's at the time. When she joined Nightwish in 2012 of course I followed and the matchup was unbelieveable. You deff should watch the whole Wacken concert and then move on to Beste Zangers 2019. She is more amazing than you can imagine at this point and Nightwish is just as amazing with their musicianship. True professionals all of them!

[@calibadgerdude6082]

Floor is one of the rare singers who generally sounds better live than in a studio. I honestly think it's because her voice is so huge that studios have trouble accurately capturing it and it doesn't come across as well. That being said, their latest album Human | Nature she sounds phenomenal. It feels like Tuomas (the keyboard guy who writes the vast majority of their music) wrote the album very clearly with her vocals in mind and pushed the music to the very limits of what is humanly possible to do. As good as that is, I can't WAIT to hear how it sounds live knowing how much power she has in reserve. October can't come quickly enough, they're theoretically coming to LA in October, though the tour has already been delayed once due to the pandemic.

[@mattphillips2530]

Holy crap, the guy who turned me on to Korean Soul is the latest person to discover my favorite singer 👍 Let me return the favor: check out the singer here (Floor Jansen) singing Shallow on the Dutch program Beste Zangers. Heads up Nightwish Army: this guy is not a voice teacher but he has a LOT of experience with American liturgical music (where Floor's modern belting technique originates from) and knows his singing. He's gonna ❤ Floor

Nightwish Community/Fans/"Army" incoming here (call us what You will, I'm sure most of Us won't care). Welcome to the rabbit hole that IS NIGHTWISH! You appeared on our radar, and I thought I'd drop a few lines (Wacken 2013 Setlist at the end). Oh, almost forgot... Whatever You do with Nightwish going forward, DO NOT TOUCH The Greatest Show On Earth and especially The Poet and the Pendulum before You've really familiarized Yourself with the essence of Nightwish. Thank for the reaction, TomH. From our beloved Ann Waychoff 1954-2020 (May She RIP): Here is some information to help you navigate their music. It is my standard speech...... :-) ............. Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female fronted symphonic metal band. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals. And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now still is. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (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 the Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just saw 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), *Imaginaerum Live at Wacken 2013, Endless Forms Most Beautiful Live at Wembley 2015, Live at Tampere 2015, Decades Live at Buenos Aires (2018) (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 ********************************** Nightwish @Wacken Open Air 2013 Attendance: ca. 82 000 Setlist: 1-Dark Chest of Wonders 2-Wish I Had an Angel 3-She Is My Sin 4-Ghost River 5-Ever Dream 6-Storytime 7-I Want My Tears Back (with Troy Donockley) 8-Nemo (with Troy Donockley) 9-Last of the Wilds (with Troy Donockley) 10-Bless the Child 11-Romanticide 12-Amaranth 13-Ghost Love Score 14-Song of Myself (Anns' favorite) 15-Last Ride of the Day

hey Dave, great reaction,& welcome, fyi never do studio for NW is one of those bands thats always better live,the whole Wacken 2013 is a seminal event so many great songs : Everdream,Storytime,Song of Myself,Romanticide,& more,NW has a MASSIVE fanbase very active on YT & very loyal, this is the greatest band & singer no one has heard of but since Floor Jansen (3rd & final singer) joined in 2012 that has changed dramatically, to see her blow you away further she did a Dutch TV show : Beste Zangers 2019 ,were some top Dutch (Floor is Dutch) singers get together & sing each others songs or songs that hold meaning to them back to one another but reinterpreted, Floor sings : Shallow,Phantom of The Opera,Vilja Lied,Winner & more

You're absolutely right this band is nothing but pure talent I've been listening play music for 40 years now and I've never seen a band this good live the writing of the material is top notch. And yes floor Jansen is a goddess I've never seen nobody with the power and Charisma she has. You should check out a song called yours is an empty hope or slaying the Dreamer. Just two of many many songs they have.

Like your genuine reaction. I noticed you feel the music and you indeed recognise talent. Your next song could be Storytime from Wacken. All their live concerts are good.: Wacken 2013, Buenos Aires, Wembley, Tampere. And they released a new album this year, called Human:||:Nature. A masterpiece. Just follow the playlist on this one. Due to Covid there are no live versions of these songs yet. Enjoy your journey. I will follow. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Nightwish is a band best served live...

[@tommyjohnson9175]

Symphonic Metal.. allows them to take their music in several different directions.. They have the Long, Epic, Multipart, full production songs like this, The Poet and the Pendulum or The Greatest Show on Earth.. They have several of the more classic thrash heavy metal songs like Romantacide, Song of Myself or Dark Chest of Wonders.. and just about everything in between like Storytime or Ghost River.. They even have a Celtic Rock sound going on in songs like "E'lan" and "Wish I had an Angel". Take your choice, The Nightwish Army loves it all..

[@gregkral4467]

The band is so amazing..... so beautiful.

[@darkshadow139]

Nightwish was the brainchild Of the Keyboardist Tuomas and he composes and writes all the music and lyrics. Floor Jansen is the third lead vocalist and in my opinion the best one that fits perfectly to all the styles and emotion needed for their songs. Tarja the first lead singer had a great operatic voice but she was not as versatile in my opinion as Floor, who can do the operatic and everything else down to death Metal growls. Floor is also a Vocal coach as well. Best songs to follow this one would be Song of Myself from wacken 2013, Ghost River from Wacken 2013, Yours is an empty hope live from Wembley Arena, and Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley Arena. If you want to hear more from Marco the Bassist of Nightwish, check out The Islander live from Tampere

[@CrimsonRoseDancer]

The studio version was sung by a different singer. Read up on their history, it’s an amazing story and their music reflects a lot of the emotions and events they’ve experienced over the last 25+ years they’ve been performing. It’s worth the research for sure. Check out their documentaries as well. Loved you reaction.

Believe me.. you have just started a journey that will grow your channel the way you couldn't even imagined. "The army is coming".

[@ronjoanne5980]

Ron here, Welcome, Dave to the Nightwish community. Loved your reaction and analysis. Great job. As you listen and enjoy each song and performance by this very tight band and the individual talents of each member keep in mind it all starts with the music, and that is Tuomas the keyboard artist. He composes, writes the lyrics and arranges about 95% of their songs. I consider him to be the Hans Zimmer of metal music. No two songs are alike and each has twists and turns taking you on a musical journey. He founded the band in 1996 and is the heart and soul of the group. As you progress you will hear the amazing and unequaled diversity of Floor's vocal talent, plus great vocal work by Marko, bassist, and Troy, their multi-instrumentalist. All in all the best live performance band I've ever seen. I'm a new subscriber as I want to follow you on your Nightwish adventure. Enjoy the ride. Warm, no HOT, wishes from the high desert of Arizona.

[@christophercollins9333]

You are going to get a long list from some of the major posters in the army; I highly recommend following the prescription they will give you in terms of what to view and when to make the journey simply amazing. A few reactors decided to do their own thing and break off and listen to record versions of Floor and their original singer Tarja which is a travesty- both are amazing and far better live. Neither of those two will disappoint live; I prefer Floor but Tarja was pretty awesome as well. The second singer in the band, Annette, is the exception; If you listen to her you will want to go studio as her voice is not powerful enough or clean enough life to match the symphonic sound behind her, although on record she comes through well. What you will realize as you get deeper into the band is that the rest of them are ridiculously talented and their bass player is a top talent singer in his own right (Marco). This is a very subdued melodic Nightwish in this song, outside of the lyrics which are grandiose, and a good and simple introduction to what I have discovered in the past year and sharingly tell you is the best band on Earth.

Floor when asked about her ling power stated "I have the lungs of a deep sea diver". Great job my musical friend. Peace out!

[@kaitykaity]

Other commenters have advised about how the studio version had a different singer, so won't belabor that point except it's probably a good idea to learn about why she left the band. That gives a whole added dimension to the music Tuomas wrote afterwards. Recommend reacting to Romanticide, Weak Fantasy, and Ghost River to gain a true appreciation of their other vocalist, the bassist, Marco Hietala, and how well he and Floor fit together. These songs are harder, harsher, definitely metal.

[@music2seeconcertphotograph457]

Welcome to your first stop of a probably long, surprising always awesome Nightwish journey. This band is from Finland. Tuomas is the keyboarder, Songwriter, composer. Marco is playing the bass and doing also the vocals. He is very versatile and an awesome singer as well. You might watch „The Islander“ from Tampere to experience this. Emppu is playing the guitar. He can shred it but he always does exactly that much, that is required by the song. Kai (also Wintersun) is now at the drums and replaced the original drummer Jukka (whom you saw here) who had stop playing the drums due to health issues. But he still is with the band. Julka was a perfect drummer and showman, Kai is a perfect drummer and a machine and beast at the drums. Then there is Troy, a multi instrumentalist from England who in older performances supported the band at some tracks but became luckily a full member of the band after this tour. He‘s a great singer as well. Last but not least there is Floor, the Dutch singer. She is the bands third singer after Tarja (operatic) and Annett from Sweden (pop/rock). She can sing really everything from opera over pop/ rock to growls This gig was at Wacken. Wacken is THE metal festival worldwide. Nightwish were one of the headliners in 2013. It is in the north of Germany in a rural area. Therefore the bullhead with flames is the Wacken symbol. There are more than 80.000 metalheads having a big party each year. Greetz from Germany Here are some suggestions for your next stops: -> There are a couple of great songs from Wacken: „Story Time“ and "Ever Dream" are catchy in a very positive way. "Song of Myself" starts catchy and ends with everyone headbanging. "Romanticide", "Last Ride of the Day" and "Ghostriver" are the heavier ones. -> "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" (Buenos Aires) will give you a metal and power blast: Maximum speed and Marco (the singing bass player) becomes Hannibal Lecter ;-) -> "Yours an Empty Hope" from Wembley (have a good look!! at the growls. You'll be surprised.) -> „Dead Boys Poem“ from Buenos Aires (so amazing and emotional) -> „Weak Fantasy“ (Tampere): Kai the beastat the drums, Troy joins in, great duets with Floor and Marco, … -> Elvenjig / Elvenpath (Buenos Aires): Awesome intro and it continues on that level -> "The greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere) is one of the two most epic songs. The title is not about the gig, but about the topic of the song: The evolution of mankind. -> "The Poet and the Pendulum“ (Wembley) is my personal absolute masterpiece of Nightwish. Be sure to know the background of this song ahead (short version see below *) ***** From the new album there are for obvious reasons no live sessions so far. For all songs there are lyric videos, except for „Noise". But maybe you'll give some songs a try as well. It's an awesome album. Definitely not an "easy" one with a lot of really unique songs, different from what is "typical" for Nightwish. Floor said that she was really challenged to sing the songs that Tuomas wrote for her. Knowing her abilities, you can imagine that they are "special“. It‘s a good idea to hear the album in the given order, but nevertheless here are some of my options to some of the songs. -->"Noise" is probably the most "typical" song and the only one with "real video". The video is great as the song itself --> "Tribal" is the heaviest one and Kai, the drummer, had to change his normal setup to be able to play it. --> "Shoemaker" (about Eugene Shoemaker) is such a heavenly and epic song with the possible epic ending. -> „Pan“ is just an amazing ride. When it starts you for a moment think you‘re listening to Floors husbands band „Sabaton“. In the song you‘ll be reminded to „Tribal“ and „Noise“. -> Procession“ a rather calm song with so amazing vocals by Floor --> "Harvest" is so different with Troy singing, that you will wonder if you're listening to Nightwish. -> „Endlessness“ is Marcos song and shows his great voice. --> "Music", „How's the Heart", ... are really cool songs as well. Of course. The album challenged Floor as singer, which is not easy to do, as she is one of the best and most versatile singers in the world. ***** If you'd like to Explore Floor on her own: Beste Zangers Just in case (which I can really recommend) you're going to do "Beste Zangers" make sure you take the clips posted by "jenniezelf" on KZbin as she has also included the talking / interviews before and after with english subtitles. The concept of the show is, that on one day all singers sing a song for one of them. It's a song that is by that singer or a song that means a lot for him / her. So it is very interesting to get to know the story behind each song. And it will help to understand the reactions of the other singers. Floor is singing there in German, Dutch, Spanis and English. Her "Phanom of the Opera" duet with Henk Poort is legendary. ***** * Backstory for „Poet and the Pendulum“ Tuomas (the keyboarder and songwriter) was in depression after the split from their first singer Tarja. He was in the position to either commit suicide in real real life or to write a song about it and die within that song. Luckily he choose the latter option. He is the poet, "killed" by the pendulum. And afterwards there is darkness, silence and just a fading heartbeat. It gives me a shiver every time. As this song is so emotional for him all the others have an eye on him. He even had his the vocals turned off in his in ears. Greetz from a German-Dutch concert photographer

Song 13 of 15 during this concert and still going strong

[@M11969]

Great job understanding what the song is about, you nailed it first try. Floor is just amazing as is the entire band. She is an example of what comes from raw talent being honed to perfection can result in.

[@rogerhack3750]

12:38 Dave experiences his first floorgasm. After that, he would never be the same again. Most singers sing what they can. Floor sings what she wants. Bow down to the empress of metal (but you already did, haven't you?)

[@trejartheprimagen5530]

i know this is the older one of your reactions to Nightwish. but im gonna suggest reacting to their song "Greatest show on earth", its a long one but honestly one of my favorite songs by them. My first concert was Sabaton as an opener for Nightwish, and both are amazing bands.

[@johnekare8376]

Great reaction man!

[@oceanborn21]

Welcome to Nightwish Army dude!

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Not sure if anyone else mentioned it but she wasn't in the band when they recorded it. That was Tarja, their first female lead. Floor is their 3rd, so you will only hear her sing many of the hit songs Live.

[@marcmorton1439]

Nice reaction! This genre of music is known as Symphonic Metal. GLS is the most reacted to song, in the history of music reaction videos, with 900+. A good deal ahead of Jinjer-Pisces, that is second. Several reactors have gotten over a million views on their GLS reaction. With the highest having 2.4 mil! Helping to make Nightwish the most reacted to artist or band in the history of music reactions videos. With just over 6,000 reactions. See "Masterlist Nightwish Reactions". The have 125+ songs on 9 studio albums, in their discography. FYI:There were 82,000+ in the audience at this performance. It is the 13th of 15 songs that NW performed that night. I would recommend either 'Ever Dream' or 'Storytime' from the same concert for your next Nightwish reaction. The singer's name is Floor Jansen. She is the 3rd and still current female lead singer of Nightwish (est. 1996) She had been with the band for little over 10 months at the time of this concert on 03 August 2013, when she was 32. She started performing in the first Metal Band she was in, After-Forever, at the age of 16. After that band disbanded, she started her own band called Revamp. Which was on hiatus, when she received a call from Nightwish to take over the female lead singing duties mid-tour. The rest is herstory.

I'll underline it, live every time usually better than the studio versions, the visuals are brilliant. If someone hasn't already said it, you ain't seen nothing yet. You're off down the rabbit hole and the Army will guide you, lots to listen to and they're all absolute bangers, and a lot to learn, you are in for a memorable and exciting trip. Nightwish and Floor are going to re-calibrate your grey cells. Great reaction, I'm loving the soft and sensible delivery too. Many thanks.

[@robhall3693]

Been waiting for you to fall into this rabbit whole 🙃🤘🤘

[@koserkm]

One thing about Nightwish. Their average fan is anybody. Very few brain dead people when it comes to Nightwish. They usually evoke some kind of emotion from almost anybody.

[@larryd4352]

Exactly....I have listened to heavy metal/hard rock since my best friend and I walked to our local Kmart...and we split the cost to buy a Steppenwolf LP. A month or so later, we bought a Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Hendrix LP. I have been a metal maniac since the 1960's...at 63 years old...I really don't listen to anything else! Finding Nightwish was a huge surprise, since I thought that I had heard everyone...but I was wrong. Yep...a new member of the Nightwish army!!

[@egbertvandeberg1863]

Welcom to the world off nightwish...enjoy

[@leemarinus]

Guitarist is Emmpu, he can match any riff and exceed your expectations.

Nightwish: Storytime live. Epica: Terra Sancta ft. Floor

[@horseshoe_nc]

Fantastic reaction. Be on the lookout for a comment from Gabriel. It will be a long comment, however it will serve you well to read it. He is carrying the torch for one of Nightwish's biggest fans, Ann Waychoff, who has sadly left us. You will understand when you read it. You just heard the 3rd and current singer for Nightwish.

[@seanstevenson9891]

Great reaction, man. PREPARE THE DEFENSES, THE ARMY COMETHS! 🤘😎🤘 Try Ghost River from the same concert.

[@dougmphilly]

nightwish is the kinda band where guys and gals can see together without sacrificing their music tastes.

[@minifeebas8911]

a little note: there is no studio version of this song with this singer, as it is one of the old songs from back with the first lead singer

[@BudhagRizzo]

She's not on the studio version. The original singer of this song was Tarja Turunen. This is Floor Jansen, who at the time of this concert, had only been in the band about a year.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

Congrats friend, frirst time you hear the VALKYRIE FLOOR JANSEN.... Other side ,She can sing like as a Devil..what i say,she can sing everything 🥰😊

[@joeyc785]

Hey, nice video, Floor Jansen is a professional voice coach, awesome 😎
