    The crowd is hyped because have just realised that Nightwish are going to perform one of the epic songs written for the first quite operatic singer, Tarja Turunen who you've heard. They hadn't played it for several years as second singer, Anette Olzon, was a pop singer. It's only with this singer, Floor Jansen, that they have been able to perform every song in their catalogue. And the latest two albums featuring Floor have been taken to another level vocally as she sings whatever is aaked of her. This concert features 15 songs and this is number 13. Floor Jansen does have her own CZcams channel with various covers, chats and vocal coaching.

  • @Mischnikvideos

    Metal and classical music have similarities in Europe. Many musicians have had classical music as part of their education because it is part of their tradition. That flows into their metal.
    Nightwish was an extreme case. Her first singer Tarja (whom you saw) wanted to be an opera singer and refused to sing any other way. Through this she established the classic singing in metal and the singer in this song (Floor) is influenced by that. But Floor then placed more value on versatility and is therefore the current role model.
    The organ is fake and hides three keyboards, the flaming bull's skull is the logo of Wacken Open Air. Back then with 80,000 visitors, now over 100,000. It's one of the oldest and biggest metal festivals in the world.
    The great time together was very different 10 months before. They quarreled with their second singer Anette in the middle of the tour and had no singer two days before the next concert. In this short time you only get bad and crazy ones as replacements. They took one of the crazy ones and she's the longtime singer now.
    There is no official explanation for the song's lyrics. As the song is being written there are already rumors that the band wants to part ways with lead singer Tarja (whom you saw in Phantom, at her last concert). It's probably because the connection between her and the band has died. The first Basisst had already been pushed out of the band because of drunkenness on stage. Not a good Time for Nightwish.

Also, that’s 82 THOUSAND people hanging on her every word; so, no pressure on her to Bury that (9 second long)high note.... At 6’1 and 170 pounds Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie Goddess, and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again.

    @rnowak85 Před rokem +97

    Great reaction. As you noted this is their third singer Floor Jansen. Your previous reaction was with their first singer Tarja Turunen. She was a classically trained opera singer and mostly sang in that style. Floor has been a metal singer through out her career and while with her first band she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy (first class) and then with vocal coaches, studied opera for a year and musical theater for two years. She is a self proclaimed vocal nerd, was a vocal coach in the past and, is the most versatile and amazing singer in the world today IMO. The organ looking thing on stage is the keyboard stand holding two Korg keyboards for the bands keyboardist and the composer of most of their music Tuomas Holopainen. It is made to resemble the Sibelius Monument in Helsinki, Finland. Tuomas is Finnish and a huge fan of Jean Sibelius. This style of metal is called symphonic metal and so there is a lot that classical musicians can relate to but even with other genres of metal, I think the level of musicianship required is very high in both worlds and that is something both classical and metal fans enjoy and respect. There is another Symphonic Metal band, Epica, that has done a whole concert of classical music, called The Classical Conspiracy, with a full orchestra and choir which is amazing. During their 10th anniversary Retrospect concert they performed Stabat Mater Dolorosa with Floor joining their lead singer Simone Simons as a guest singer, czcams.com/video/nhtOORYTGx8/video.html. In the middle of a huge metal concert they perform this classical piece and everyone stops and rapturously listens.
    For me Ghost Love Score is a story about a love that has never been expressed or realized, hidden from the object of that love, i.e. a Ghost Love. I think you would appreciate the analysis of this song by a composer which explains from a music theory POV why this song is so good and satisfying. czcams.com/video/-ql4Y12xbck/video.html. Subbed for your insights and hope you continue your Nightwish journey.

    The reverse is also true. Many metalheads enjoy classical music as well, especially as they get older. In terms of composition there's a lot of classical influence in metal, but there's - to me at least - also a shared feeling of grandeur of sorts that you don't really find in other genres.

    Facts: This concert and tour was based on songs written for the two previous singers in the band. Floor had to step in mid tour in October 2012 and basically just had 48 hours to learn the setlist och 15 songs. This song is song 13 in the setlist and she's doing a fantastic job on all of them.

Not only did she have only 48 hours, but in that time she also had to travel from the Netherlands to the US, so she spent her flight studying the songs. She probably did already know most of them as a listener though.

    Jules, the audience's excitement doesn't just come from what they already did experienced in the song's intro. You can take into account that this is already #13 out of 15 in the concert, but also that everyone knows and recognizes this song as soon as the intro starts. They are curious to hear it live from their favorite band and wonder what the version will bev by NW new female front vocalist Floor Jansen.
    GLS is indeed a story, a score, in which the main character (Tuomas, band leader, writer, poet, composer and keyboard player) is seduced by the Siren and dives into the sea after her. Goes down in the interlude and then emerges in a (for him)n completely unknown (music-) country, without knowing his way here, and have to surrender himself to the leadership of that ghost.
    I am curious what your reaction will be to Henk Poort's version of "The Sound of Silence" sung for Floor Jansen during the RTV program "Beste Zangers 2019" czcams.com/video/q_BJaM-UrXc/video.html
    Henk is a Dutch opera and musical singer and actor. He's a baritone. Born on January 20, 1956. He studied classical singing at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam. He won the Cristina Deutekom Competition during his singing training. Henk sang at various European opera houses, such as in Ulm and Krefeld. He made guest appearances for, for example, De Nederlandse Opera, the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, the Hessische Staatstheater in Wiesbaden, the Nationale Reisopera, the VARA (Opera matinee in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw).

    Nightwish hasn't played the song live for over 7 years because it was written for Tarja. With Floor as the new singer, they now had the opportunity to do so again. For most of the fans it was the first concert with Floor and when they heard the beginning of the song they were overjoyed. That's why the hyped mood at the beginning of the video was there. When I first heard the song live again, I was absolutely blown away by Floor's voice.

    Nice reaction! (always know we are in for a treat if the time signature changes are noted).
    Interesting to note your friends talking about a correlation between opera and metal (people who follow reactions will have heard this before as well). Not all metal singers - but a fair few - do have a wild toolkit available to them. Floor Jansen is the most obvious example - she can sing opera, but usually doesn't, or she can death growl, and all points in between. Floor is probably the most accomplished but there are others who have the same variety of voice modes available to them.
    I wonder if there is also an argument that some subgenres of metal are extremely progressive and experimental in a way that more mainstream and popular music simply isn't. "Metal" as a concept buttons its coat over a *huge* variety of style and substyles that if you don't like one kind of metal you might find a comfy harbour in another. With pop music while you might get clever lyrics or novel drum samples, you know it is pop - but with metal you can't really say, for example, a Slipknot song is like a Seventh Wonder track. They have the same root but are wildly diverse. I can see how that could be appealing to people who like theory and technique of music.

    When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.1) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites:
    Energize me: czcams.com/video/fjm4BrNAf6s/video.html
    Monolith of Doubt: czcams.com/video/3TmKHkQx45U/video.html
    Dreamflight: czcams.com/video/73-_F9prx4I/video.html
    Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). Here is a link to a part of a TV show (with english subtitles) of the reunion of the class of the Rock Academy with mostly backstage footage of the Tampere concert of Nightwish in 2015: czcams.com/video/B3NIfu0qvtg/video.html
    'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples:
    Misery’s no Crime: czcams.com/video/SNPesLFTnUg/video.html
    Disdain: czcams.com/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/video.html
    Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: czcams.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/video.html
    Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see:: czcams.com/video/bAiPeSsqD-4/video.html
    A suggestion to a christmas song sung by Floor. Here is a link to a performance in Finland with a special guest with the best seat you could imagine: czcams.com/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/video.html
    Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on CZcams. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa:, czcams.com/video/QqdvFPBGN0c/video.html
    and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini: czcams.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/video.html
    As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered CZcams in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish:. czcams.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/video.html
    Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of the presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon.Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughter Freja (turned 6 years last march), and another on its way, a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.

    What a great reaction to this epic love song! Yes it is a love song...and this song was my first song that I heard by Nightwish. 4 years later..I am addicted to their music. The genius behind Nightwish is Tuomas Holopainen...he writes the lyrics and musical scores to all of their music...of course with assistance of the band members.. Oh...the display of Pipes is just set decorations around his 3 keyboards. Nightwish does have a collaboration with the London Orchestra, Adult and Youth Choirs.
    I could also tell that you had several "Floorgasams!" It happens when you get goosebumps all over yourself while listening to Floor singing! Floor is such a special woman...in fact...she has been travelling to concerts while she is pregnant with her second child!!!
    Well...welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! There are members all over the world...and we all share the same love for Nightwish! Young or old...all are welcome!!! ( I fall into the older part...as I will be 66 years young in about a month and a half! ) I drive around in my SUV listening to Nightwish!!
    You have a new subscriber!!!
    Oh...the attendance at that concert...82,000!!!

    You've just scratched the NIGHTWISH's surface. Since you're an opera singer may be it's time to discover another opeta singer, Simone Simons from EPICA. "Unleashed", Retrospect Live 2010, with full orchestra it's an appropriate start. Greetings from Greece!

    Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she
    got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power
    of her vocals.
    We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard.
    ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!

    Glad you decided to react to this band again,as you khis is with their 3rd singer Floor Jansen,a 6’1” Dutch vocal beast..They’re definitely a band that are better live,their studio stuff is good but it’s their live performances where they shine…they go from operatic though to rock,folk,Celtic and on to thrash and everything in between,hope you decide to dip your toe into some more..if you do then definitely use Gabriel’s list as it has the best quality videos performance and audio wise.👍

  • @MrDempmeister

    Thank you for this entertaining video!
    Floors vocal technique is second to none, in my opinion she is the one of the greatest vocalists in the world.
    As I understand her technique she has a way to tap into her classical and operatic setup while still singing contemporary. This gives her great resonance and it also lets her switch between vocal styles so effortlessly as she does.
    That last note is indeed a belt but should be head voice because no mortal human can possibly use that much force while singing such a high note. But Floor is a superhero and her superpower is her voice.

  • @JariJuslin
    @JariJuslin Před rokem +4

    Like the name says, it's indeed a score, not a song!
    Tuomas has this ability to gradually introduce new elements without them seeming out of place and then iterating on them and layering and finally bringing them all together for the climax.

    Hello! Welcome to the family of Nightwish army! Tuomas Holopainen (keyboardist) is composer of Nightwish music. He often use some "eternal art" parts like organ decoration for his keyboards, poetic lirycs and many other. As for opera singer i think it is interesting for you to hear Tarja's Turunen vocal - first singer and cofounder of Nightwish. She most operatic vocalist during whole history of the band. Have a nice journey

    My first time seeing this performance Floor so captivated me that at the end when she held that belt for so long and powerfully I froze in awe. When she saluted after I thought to myself she is saying " I release you" lol. Great reaction you should check out Dead Boys Poem live in Buenos Aires 2018 her voice is exceptional in that one.

    No, is not an organ. It's just atrezzo inspired on the art of the album, that were on tour. If you keep watching the concert you'll see more organ tubes on Troy's mike stand. ( Troy plays pipes,flutes, bazouki guitar, electric guitar, whatever you need.)

    Un coucou de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France, avec un peu de retard, excellente réaction à l'écoute du plus grand groupe du monde pour ma part. Mais vous n'avez qu'effleuré le dessus de l'iceberg et vous n'êtes qu'a l'entrée du terrier de lapin. Je vous souhaite de bons floorgasmes et continuez vos réactions nous serons toujours derrière vous pour vous soutenir pour notre groupe...... Encore plus d'écoutes s'il vous plait...... Merci. Faites le festival Open Air Wacken 2013, vous êtes sur de ne pas vous tromper, vous avez écouté la chanson 13 sur les 15 du set complet. Les quinze chansons du set sont des classiques pour tous les fans du groupe. Faites le Ever Dream qui commence comme une douce ballade voix piano et sur un signe de Marko ( le bassiste ) continue d'accélérer pour finir comme un train à grande vitesse, puis essayez une petite histoire comme storytimes ou alors du plus lourd avec Romanticide ou alors Ghost River...... Et je pense que notre ami Gabriel devait arriver sous peu, ( Un grand MERCI à Gabriel ) cliquez sur son nom et allez sur communauté, vous pourrez suivre sa liste en toute confiance avec les meilleurs mixages à la bonne vitesse et avec le meilleur audio. Continuez les filets du groupe sont tendus et il vous sera très difficile de vous en sortir, plus de NIGHTWISH s'il vous plait ........ Merci et à bientôt. Bonne écoute et un nouvel abonné ici.......

LIVE under these chaotic, loud conditions!? She is spot on always! She never gets nervous or excited, just crafting a vocal experience. Such a seasoned pro of so many years on big stages. It's truly a gift to watch. Next name me single band that is capable of such compositional skills to make a 10 or even 20 minute song seem like a few minutes...... Thanks to Tuomas (keyboardist composer)....... This band is a deep rabbit hole of endless goosebumps, and Floor is perhaps even more so in her versatility! Please do more Nightwish and FLOOR JANSEN!

    I can't believe it's been ten years since this performance. At the time, Floor had only been with the band for a few months, having replaced the previous singer in the middle of Nightwish's North America tour. By the end of this song, Floor went from being a really good singer to a ****ING LEGEND!!!!! She has been the Nightwish Army's Queen ever since.

    Ghost Love SCORE. A movie score of course has different music for different scenes. I think of each musical section in this song as a scene, with its own script and mood. The instrumental intro is like an overture, giving a taste of what we might expect to hear later in the song.

    3:25 Yes, the intro changes time signatures 25 or so times before Floor sings a note.
    It starts 6/8 with some 5/8 measures stuck in there, then switches to 12/16 with some 9/16 measures, then 4/4 for Floor.
