Lisa and Dianne are exceptional leads, but Manuela really puts the Power in "Power Metal"! OMG, WOW! I wish her well in her current profession!👏🏻😀

[@camilatbk]

Minute 5 killed me, my mind, my body, my soul.

[@marymroe9]

What you hear is a type of a soprano called a spinto. A soprano like Diane just overpowers the instruments but a spinto pierces it.

this lady sings like an Angel

[@gothicknight5538]

So stoked that I found this genre symphonic metal. Just perfect, especially when done by Xandria

[@kubabonga]

7:57 that part you can appreciate her monstruous vocal range!

[@DavidEarle786]

I just recently discovered Xandria through the suggestion of someone else, since they know I like symphonic metal, and I am TOTALLY in love! Her vocals are OUTSTANDING!

[@fabionogueira2012]

The most powerful song in the world !!! I go crazy with this lyrics and this sound. Perfect!!!

[@ArturoPerez-si2xk]

Try The Greatest Show On Earth by Nightwish, that is really Power

[@vonsi12345]

woh at 5.03 - stunning, great live singing - sad she isn´t anymore in the band :(

[@haleskiss]

Think I'm in love with her voice 

[@user-ow3hi1cb4s]

Гениально до обморока!!!

Increíble, asombroso, no hay palabras para definir este increíble espectáculo.

[@Helgram.Slavonian]

ну это просто божественно ♫ Мануэлла просто любовь навечно

[@normairizarryni]

The quality in this is amazing. I was searching for a good like video because I wanted to hear if Manuela's voice is as beautiful as it is on the CD and yes, she's remarkable. I think it would be amazing if Nightwish hired her as their new singer.

[@Torunn27]

Um, Nightwish officially hired Floor back in October.

[@Juanheco16]

just perfect

[@leandroazevedo28]

The latin part at the 5th minute is so fucking amazing. It means: ''And I heard a great voice, saying to the seven angels. Pour out the seven vials of the harshness of the world, in a dream. I saw when He opened the sixth seal. There was an earthquake. The whole moon turned as blood, the sun became black.'' In the live, she doesn't sing the last verse (she exchanges it for the second verse).

Thank you... 2 cameras + experience.

She is not a heir of anyone.

Live sing a song just have been different, so great

[@millersj]

Dude, the quality is insane!! How did you manage it?

[@user-dr7je9mw7t]

У всех групп, играющих симфонический металл, очень эффектные солистки...Диана ван Гирсберген не исключение...И голос...Такой хорошо звучит в опере...Как у Тарьи Турунен...Я млею от такого

[@uberipuzo]

Это не Диана, и тарья рядом не являлась с дианой

[@pampymirabuna1453]

I forgot Tarja because of Manuella! 😁

[@RammmFan]

well thats kinda weird. She is not as good, but very very close, closest of them all, probably the only one who could have match (with time and effort and luck...)

[@gothicpagan.666]

Just fucking incredible

[@jr974]

j'aime !!!

[@user-ly3wk2zl1k]

Fucking incredible!!!

[@Helgram.Slavonian]

Manuela vocalization is adorning on faint music

[@KonradVenthurAnzieta]

Manuela Kraller, a Unique voice !!!. I compare her with Tarja Turunen, but I think Manuela has much more talent, because Tarja has been always studing singing. Manu is just natural born singer !!! (I'm not saying she has no studies). Both are Soprano Spinto !!!

[@garymartin6802]

Konrad Venthur Anzieta Tarja is more classical than metal. With Manuela you get a beautiful balance between Tarja & the power of Floor Jansen. For me, Neverworld's End put Xandria (albeit briefly) on a par with Nightwish - Fantastic album. Sadly, Manuela moved on after only one album & her last outing was a duet entitled Memories Fall with the wonderful Heidi Parviainen (ex Amberian Dawn) for HP's album Dark Sarah - Behind the Black Veil. Check it out if you haven't already - It's awesome!

[@Juanheco16]

+Gary Martin and the amazing duet with Ada Fletchner (Ex-Coronatus) from Voices Of Destiny in the song At The Edge... but also Manuela did the choir arrangements of their 2014 album Crisis Cult :D

[@joshcavaradossi4813]

Konrad Venthur Anzieta manuela as a studied voice! This type of voice dont born beyond black holes. You need to work hard to sing like that

[@elfenscheisse]

Manuela has had vocal lesson. What is remarkable is, that the came so late in her life to singing and learned all this in only a couple of years!

[@franciscojonatanmarquezcha6164]

Xandria podra tener muchas vocalistas pero en mi opinión ella era la indicada

[@karenherrera2194]

She must be in Nightwish

[@ralfhtg1056]

She auditioned for Nightwish in 2006 but was rejected... not understandable, right?

[@ArturoPerez-si2xk]

She must return to Xandria, now than Dianne van Giersberger left (don't know why) also in Nightwish could fix too, but now Floor Jansen is there, and was the best choice for them

[@ralfhtg1056]

@@ArturoPerez-si2xk Dianne van Giersbergen made an announcement as she left Xandria. As far as i know the main message was that she had health issues with her voice. Clasdical singing requires some recovery time after each concert. Someone who doesn't know that much about singing techniques doesn't understand that. In the consequence Dianne wasn't able to perform in a number of concerts. So there was a replacement found for several shows. Dianne was missing support from the band and management. It is said that there were several nasty words/ discussions with sentences like "We're not friends"... for more detail see Dianne van Giersbergens profile on Facebook. And Manuela Kraller left the band for similar reasons as she stated after Dianne made her announcement. The band Xandria suffered a heavy shitstorm on their Facebook profile after that.... even today they have not found a successor for Dianne. And concerning Floor Jansen...i don't think she is a good singer. The cornerstone of the old Nightwish songs was to be performed with an operatic voice and Floor performs most of them with a rock voice. But songs like Nemo or 10th man down simply sound like shit when they are not performed with an operatic voice. Not to speak about songs like passion and the opera or phantom of the opera. That is why i highly dislike Floor as a singer.

[@FyreSturmOfficial]

Floor Jansen is overrated on vocals, Dianne and a dozen other singers could trounce Floor singing symphonic high notes.

[@FyreSturmOfficial]

Agreed, Floor is NOT symphonic material, she is ROCK.

[@joshcavaradossi4813]

Manuela 😍

Отличная работа! А откуда звук брали?

[@tzimie]

Vladimir Gorbunov спасибо, я договорился со звукарем и получил звук с пульта

[@gorbunovvv]

Да, хороший звук - это уже совершенно иной уровень видео!

[@normairizarryni]

No, Thomas said that nothing was official and that they only hired her for the rest of their tour. He said anything was possible and Floor already has a band of her own, who she's current on tour with. It seems unlikely that Floor will be the official lead in lady of Nightwish.

[@CarlosGonzalez-og1eg]

Really, mate, Floor IS the new singer of Nightwish since October. Look for the news, or even better, watch "Please Learn the setlist in 48 hours", included on the last Nightwish dvd :)

[@foreverjoyfull]

is this manuela?!

[@Vobgou2]

This is obviously an angel. And as Manuela is the onliest angel on earth we know, yes its her. Ok the sound of this is maybe not that elysian but thats the qualities fault. I visited a concert when Manuela was still with Xandria and i swear you, she is an angel. But the prophecy came true and our world fell down when Manuela left Xandria... im searching a new religion atm

[@kuk4kuk]

Jaqen H'Ghar But where to find? :( :D

[@DavidEarle786]

Jaqen H'Ghar Wow, what a disappointment considering I had only recently discovered them; any idea where she is now?

[@Juanheco16]

+OneWiccanHighPriest she is with their family and in the last conversation I had with her she told me that she'll teach singing such as Lori Lewis from Therion... an amazing soprano too... By: #ABigFanOfManuelaKraller

[@RammmFan]

5:04, 7:21, 8:05 - now dare to tell me she is weak live. Manuela was the best (after Tarja)

[@dragon274]

This should have been Nightwish 2.0. I had high hopes about that. But they failed after just one album. There where much rumours, whats happened but finaly they lost their great vocalist. What a pity. What a loss.

[@wolfgang548]

The drummer was wearing an Iron Maiden shirt. lol.

[@hartmanceleste]

Her voice is weak live.

[@RammmFan]

you're probably deaf man... she is the strongest of them all (second only to Tarja)

[@OathKeeper95]

Tarja is much better in live performances! But she has a similar voice!

[@Pretties4alice]

+Jafet Chaves FFS..............There is always this bullshit isn't there....Tarja is NOT ALL THAT .....

[@felicidadprieto8117]

+Kaa Cee true

[@aligorzeimet4029]

She is decent but she seemed to be not as good at live performances at the end of her time with Nightwish. She just seemed so much more distant from the crowd.
