  • Nightwish's "Yours Is An Empty Hope" has been requested as a reaction and analysis for a long time, and it's finally here! I felt relation to the lyrics and message of this song, which I took as living in the here and now, and respecting those around you. This song had such a deep meaning, and conflict in every day lives as a creator showcases the pain this tale reveals.
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Nightwish perform "Yours Is An Empty Hope” for the first time.

      You say trolling doesn't bother you, but I get the impression it does, as you draw a lot of paralels between the song and your opinion about trolls and the bad sides of the internet. I don't know why people do it, but maybe they don't see it as trolling? Maybe they mean what they say. Maybe it's just blowing off steam? Lots of people have psychological issues today. At least it's better to vent on the internet verbally than doing it IRL physically.
      I also think trolling is a 2-way street. A troll needs an opposite to flourish. No opposite ....... But then again, I've had very interesting conversations with people who seemed to be trolling at first, but just had a bit odd kind of sarcasm. It happened to me too a few times. I seem to have got a bit of an odd sense of humor. Sorry :)
      And though I agree with the trolls that you can't sing a straight note even if your life depended on it (there's the odd humor *and* in this case 100% sarcasm)
      Seriously, keep going. I don't always agree with you, but usually you make sense *and* I've never heard someone count measures as fast as you just did in the video. I tried, but I think I need some physiotherapy for my tongue now.

  • @xfortunesquex
    @xfortunesquex Před 3 lety +397

    I imagine this song was very cathartic for Tuomas to write, and for Floor to perform. Both have gotten undue hate online for various assumptions made in regards to their character and their appearance. There's a subset of former fans who like to bash both: Tuomas is difficult, he is a diva, he is rude, he is a dictator in the band, whatever. Then they go on about Floor: her singing choices, her height, her appearance, her personality, and the VERY CLEAR boundaries she has set with fans who think they are owed a hug or whatever when they see her. Years ago, Floor had to post a blog on the site to explain herself because people were calling her a bitch for having boundaries- dead serious. And then there's just the hardcore former fans who think that Tarja would somehow appreciate that they're bashing Floor in order to uplift her. I have quite literally seen youtube accounts dedicated to hating Floor, and they talk shit on almost all of her live performances, then add in how Tarja is the best. Tarja would be mortified to see this done in her name! She is a kind woman who respects her colleagues, and has a great rapport with Floor. So yeah the subject of this song has chapped me quite a bit since I became a fan and saw some of the BS some folks go on about. Such a great song!

    • @ApacheGamingUK
      @ApacheGamingUK Před 3 lety +68

      So many people were so surprised to find out that Floor and Tarja are good friends, and have even performed duets together. The mantra has always been that the conflict has always been in the minds of the "fans", not in the eyes of the performers.

    • @magnumchaos
      @magnumchaos Před 3 lety +40

      Yeah. Floor and Tarja have never had conflict. And Tarja has moved on to a successful solo career of her own, and has reportedly rekindled friendships with various members of Nightwish. However, I'm not sure if Tarja and Tuomas have rekindled their friendship, but it is nice to see most of them on amicable terms now.

    • @xLordOfTheWolvesx
      @xLordOfTheWolvesx Před 2 lety +25

      I absolutely agree. I read somewhere that Floor said she would never sing Bye Bye Beautiful because it is a diss about Tarja. While I have not heard her say this in any video/interview, I have never seen her perform the song, which would kind of prove the point.

      Good thing is that the removal of the gallbladder has become less impactful as it once was. They used to cut down your side in one big cut. Now it's much smaller and cut you in 4 small incisions and has reduced recovery time down by a ton. However digestive system will be totally screwed as usual.

  • @PaleHorseShabuShabu
    @PaleHorseShabuShabu Před 3 lety +41

    I don't understand why so many people wonder which of the two is doing the growling. I get that some people haven't heard Floor growl before (check out her work in ReVamp for more) and thus there might be some disbelief, but Marco's voice is distinctive. He still sounds like Marco during the chorus, so it has to be Floor doing the growling.

    Floor’s most versatile performances are in ReVamp in my opinion. Lots of growling, belting, opera, etc basically everything she’s capable of. I often feel she holds back a bit in Nightwish to make sure it’s congruent with what the band is about (makes sense). But ReVamp was HER project, and it shows.

I've watched every concert they have on line, even the debacle in Denver, at he Ogden, which was a really great show even without their lead singer who was Anette Olzon at the timme. She was rushed to the hospital just before the show started. The band came out and told the audience what had happened and left it up to them if Nightwish would perform, the crowd said to peform. They had the opening band lead singers do the vocals. The wrote down the lyrics for the two girls 10 minuets before the show started. It was crazy.
