Harmonically speaking, I've always thought at this as the best duet performance in metal ever. Their two voices were PERFECT together.
Yes, there's certainly other glorious duets of similar soprano voices (Somewhere, Paradise, Sancta Terra), and some amazing contrasted beauty and the beast tracks that aren't so much duets (And We Run). But this stands out as a true classic beauty female and beast male, with lyric clarity and they are actually singing together.
Yeah but there is another duet that's damn cool. Dance with the Dragon by Dark Sarah feat. JP. It's more musical-like but also metal and sheeesh such a good song.
Cause it is, Marco and tarja, yes please, they are Heaven and perfection.
Yeah, I do not know much about musical terms, but their voices feel like they contrast and complement each other perfectly at the same time.
@@NetAndyCz that's, basically, harmonics :)
Andrew Lloyd Webber has told in a interview that he really likes this intrepretation of the Phantom of the Opera. Marco's phantom is so much more haunting than what any Broadway singer can ever achieve.
what's amazing is Marco had surgery in the 90's on his vocal cords to remove a polyp and it went very wrong. He was unable to speak for weeks and had to relearn to sing again. He said himself some of his voice never came back. He later found out they cut a nerve and there's some paralysis in one of his cords. I'm amazed how he came back from that to sing like this.
@@mrgagarin4384 What? Marco's voice is absolutely amazing.
@@mrgagarin4384 Lmao god the childish tone in this comment is unbelievable both of their voices are incredible and blend together perfectly.
@@Spookyinvasion 🤣👏🏻👏🏻
That was WAY too much fun to watch 😁
aaaaay thanks fam
@@KardavoxAcademy Hearing you do the high vocals is always entertaining dude.
Also I suggest having a looksie at 'Ingested - No Half Measures'.
@@KardavoxAcademy sir please do an analysis on high hopes pink floyd cover by nightwish, 100% marco great performance!!!
Other Phantoms are broody, gothic, tragic, and dark. Marko's Phantom is downright sinister and scary.
What the phantom should be.
Yeah, Marko’s version of the Phantom genuinely gives me goosebumps. And I love it, the Phantom is supposed to creep you out, and he really delivers it. I always loved him because he’s really good at storytelling.
This is how a rock opera should be done. Awesome.
Book!Phantom is an ex-executioner/architect/composer/hobby singer. He's supposed to be able sound like an angel or make his voice thunder. Marko can do both. In the book, he sings a bit of Otello (Verdi's adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello) which is classed as a dramatic tenor role, so it would probably a tenor with a bit of a darker color in general, but the idea's still there.
i think exactly the way he is supposed to be. Best Phantom)
As far as Marko goes, I am holding out hope that this ends up being a lengthy "time off" period for him, as he works on whatever it is he needs to. (though he should certainly take longer than that if that's what he feels he needs) So yeah, I'm keeping relevant extremities crossed that he'll come back eventually.
BTW, one other note regarding Marko: He won this past season's Masked Singer show in Finland. Just further shows how amazing an all-around vocalist he is in his own right too.
Everybody comes for Tarja's opera but then Marko starts singing.
pfft im here for markos version of the phantom
@@AzriellaVeRaon always
@@AzriellaVeRaon I am here for nightwish!!!!
@@AzriellaVeRaon Im here for Tarja... :)
Least delusional NW fanboy:
I'm in love with floor BUT this is the best version of the phantom of the opera ever 🤘🏼🖤
Holy shhhttt ❤️ ❤️ Tarja is so powerful and beautiful and amazing... Marko ufff
I was in this concert🤘🤘 Love Marko 🖤
I wanna see Charismatic Voice react to your opera singing, lol
Comedy 👎.
Or with Tank the Tech... that would be fun!
Marko = BEASTLY Phantom!!!
I love how you have fun and goof around with your singing! It can be so freeing, just playing around with different sounds.
It really is! I'm glad you enjoy it!
Have you seen Ayreon's The Day That the World Breaks Down with 11 repeat 11 of the best metal singers in the world. It's brilliant and I recommend it to you.
Yes, do this
Yes!
The video would be about 3 days long!!!! But in a good way ;o)
YES PLEASE
Epic. The most beautiful mayhem ever. Goosebumps every time.
And and ANNNNND Tarja was SEVERELY sick with the flu. Talk about BRAVA.
With singers, that don't have English as a first language.
They have a tendency to enunciate their words, a lot more than English singers do.
They're not lazy on the vowels.
3:40 perfect pronounciation of Tarja :) Great reaction and I love all the notes you give!
If this performance doesn't give you goosebumps, your're probably dead.
Queen Tarja 😍. Fun reaction
Hugs fan of the musical, but love this arrangement. Marko just kills it. Tarja just nailed the E6 at the end
Absolutely!
Tarja ♡ Try Wishmaster from the same show or The siren 😉😉😉
Notice how in the end Tarja has her vibrato synced with the drumming. All the way up. She can.
I saw them live with Tarja in Minneapolis way back in 04. They were so good and this is one of the best things I've ever seen live.
High hopes, you'll love Marco even more.
Damn, I wish you would listen to her later work....like Supremacy (muse Cover) live from Woodstock 2016
Recommendation/request: Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars. Or really any Wintersun song, but there's a nice live studio session of that particular song on CZcams, and it's a good vocal showcase overall.
Hell yeah
You wont regnet it at all
A tru metal masterpiece.
Oh yes!! I support this!
This is one of my favorite Nightwish performances. It is very iconic. In addition, the parallel that is possible between the history of Nightwish and the story told by the musical is very interesting. Tarja would be Christine and Tuomas would be the Phantom. In the musical's history, the Phantom is in love with Christine. It is an unrequited and stormy love. In addition, the Phantom is heard through Christine when she sings his compositions. The story of Nightwish is marked by dramas and many say that Tuomas suffered from an unrequited love for Tarja. Tuomas used to say that Tarja was the voice that best expressed his feelings. The lyrics of songs in Tarja's day were often very confessional. Christine was the voice of the Phantom, while Tarja was the voice of Tuomas. In the musical, the Phantom disputes Cristine with Raoul. At Nightwish, Marcelo (Tarja's current husband) said that Tuomas disputed Tarja's love (read the answer he gave to question 36 of the fans). Nightwish's choice to cover The Phantom of the Opera, just the part where Christine and the Phantom sing together, seems to be a very interesting coincidence, or who knows, it might even be a choice made by the unconscious, if the situation is viewed from a psychoanalytic perspective.
SOMEONE SAID IT omg I have literally had this exact theory for years. I think Tuomas saw the parallels when he saw the musical and that's why he chose to put it on the album.
@@maylovesmusic Nice! It is very good to discover that we are not alone in this theory! 😄
Wow. I never saw it like this but it totally makes sense.
Wha...
Loved this!! Tarja and Marko were amazing together. You should react to Slaying the Dreamer, also from the End of an Era show. There are some great Marko screams there 🙆🏻♀️
Them together give me Chills. They are the only ones who can
I hope they find someone truly special who can fill the hole Marko left us :( or that he eventually feels better and wants to come back.
I feel ICS Vortex (ex Dimmu Borgir) would be a good pick, since he does amazing high vocals and plays bass. Not sure how much grit he's got in his voice though.
I hope not. They went using him much anymore.
@@Benobot99 and also looks very similar lol. He's like a giant Marko
Very interesting. I appreciate hearing insights from practitioners of the art.
Check out "Slaying the Dreamer" and "The Siren" from the same End of an Era concert.
Thanks Mark. This was so much fun to watch and your insights were so fascinating to hear.
Speaking of vocal ranges and male operatic singing... PLEASE check out Yannis Papadopoulos' cover of Ghost Love Score if you haven't yet. And right afterwards, "Blind and Frozen" by his band Beast in Black. He's absolutely amazing live and a really fun and kind person too. Had the pleasure to see BiB supporting NW twice in November and December and met him after the first of these shows for a signing session and a photo. He's truly amazing.
THE Siren, Tarja Turunen... Oof! This was Fall, Helsinki, Finland 2005, "End of an Era" Tour concert. I was 18 then, I'm now 37. This was the last time we heard the Siren, the Viking, the Pirate, the Vampire & the Zombie all perform together. I'll never forget it, beautiful venue... Cheers from Portland, OR! 😎🍻
you can say what you want but this band is absolutely brilliant without any doubt.
Awesome reaction, thank you :D Looking forward to hearing more of your knowledge in more Nightwish songs!
Man, you are SO much fun to watch and listen to! I love your take on good music! I've watched several of your reactions by now and I'm not getting tired of you analyzing and reacting! Very solid and sympathetic! Greetings from Germany from a Nightwish fan from wayyyy back then when they started.
The outfit was actually one of several she wore during that show- and each had a color coordinated mic.
That video is from the End of an Era concert. And it truly was. When the show ended, so did Tarja’s tenure with the band. The relationship between she and the band had deteriorated to the point that the remaining members felt it couldn’t continue.
There is a definite contrast between her voice and Floor’s but there is a video of the two of them singing together and Floor is able to blend with Tarja incredibly well.
Tarja is amazing. Please react more to Tarja
Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala. End Of An Era Konsert :) FI.
I've heard numerous versions of this song but Marko is the only one who sounds like the phantom should
The Siren...would be nice to react ...you will be impress
Did you know Nightwish released a new vid with the Phantom, now with Floor and Henk Poort? It’s from Nov 28th 2022, amazing every second❤
Devil in the Deep Dark Ocean live in Buenos Aires next! Huge variety of really interesting vocal techniques in that one.
^^^yes please!!
I hope that Marko takes as much time as he needs. Even if he doesn't come back. He is an awesome person and deserves a long happy life.
He's already inspired a lot of people and if he starts playing/writing again, it's more than we deserve 💖
I think that's a good attitude to have!
Excellent pick!!!
Goose bump alert every time i hear this wonderful intepretation! And props for you getting so high and clear with your voice
Thanks for the kind words!
The band that got me into metal when I was 11.
Floor did a version of The phantom of the opera as well on the Dutch tv show beste zangers. Worth taking a look at just like pretty much all of floors stuff is tbh. She is the queen of vocals for our generation pretty much. The fact she can go from opera to contemporary to growl in the same breath is just crazy
She sang it with the original Dutch Phantom/opera singer/huge musical giant for her -- Henk Poort.
You can hear him on the cast album (Het Spook van de Opera) with Joke de Kruijf as his Christine. Some of the best acting on a case album I've ever heard.
(Also, he was the original Dutch Jean Valjean. Also a great performance)
Devil & the deep dark Ocean. You wont regret =D
Tarja Supremacy live in Woodstock
Subscribed I loves your reaction mate, not just the breakdown you do but just the well passion and enjoyment would be the best way to say it I guess. cheers man really enjoyed ya video
Thanks for the sub and the kind words, Jace! Hope to see you around more!
Casi pensé que escupirías el vino en una parte 😂😂😂
Ésta sigue siendo una de las mejores versiones de Phanton of the Opera ❤️
Marko & Tarja
I am late to finding this channel but man, I am loving your content. I am a amateur singer and I look for advice on how to get better on the technical side and you explain it in a way I understand and you are also very passionate and engaging and I am learning so much and having an awesome time with these reactions.
I'm a big nightwishfan myself, was gonna go to their concert at Wembley tonight but it got cancelled due to Covid and I just got to know I have ME after a probable covidinfection so maybe I wouldn't have been able to make the trip anyways. So I was looking for some good reactions to watch and found your channel. Been taking a break from them but felt that today, I want Nightwish reactions and I got even more than I expected. I feel happier now :D
This is actually one of the songs that got me into Nightwish, I've always loved Phantom of the opera, but this has to be one of my absolute favourite versions. I do love Tarja, but Marko... To me, he is the best phantom ever, I would have loved to see him play the phantom because he is amazing
Listen to her cover of muse’s supremacy if you really want to hear her almost shatter crystal you won’t be disappointed
Lets goooooooo 🤘
12:00 you joke, that was great!!! More! :D
I agree. He's laughing his ass off but did a damn good job!
Excellent reference to the Mark Hamill Joker voice. Lovely. :)
Thanks!
On the same End of an Era Show DVD Sing Marco High Hops and Empu Vuirinen do the Gitarr .parts check it out
Wow !! Great song and reaction. Keep it up !!
Thank you! Will do!
Seriously I know nothing about the technicals of music but your review is so interesting. Thank you
loved this, your analysis and especially how you went inside the music and also singed impressively, you went high falsetto :)that was good singing talent! your mead looks also very tasty :)
This is my favorite NW song. OOF. GJ, duder!
Tarja's singing kinda lets the finnish accent through ( I don't know if I just catch it as finnish guy)
Might be as you say, because you are Finnish. It's just much more difficult to pick up on when a person is singing.
For example... I am Swedish and I can almost always tell if a person who is speaking English is Swedish or not, even if they are really good at speaking English. There is just this specific way how we Swedes say certain letters and word combinations that totally bleeds through the English, which in my brain triggers my "Yep... that person is totally a Swede..."-alarm. XD
But if the person is singing, and of course depending on what type of singing they are doing, then it becomes much harder to notice those specific tendencies that Swedes tend to have when speaking English.
Sometimes it's not that bad, and does not bother me... but some Swedes are really not good at Speaking English, and I cringe so much when I hear them. Because the "Svengelska" (as we call it in Swedish), or "Swenglish" (the English equivalent of it), that some people "do" when trying to speak English... is... atrocious... XD
I can fall into a bit of Swenglish my self at times, but that is usually mostly due to me getting to excited about something and/or trying to speak way to fast, faster than my brain and mouth can react to (it feels like my mouth and tongue is sort of tripping and/or stumbling over it's self)... if I just calm down, and slow down a little, things are mostly fine. XD
So, that is probably why I have not really picked up on Tarja's Finnish bleeding through when she sings in English... how ever... every single time I have heard her speak English, or the rest of the band speaking English... or more or less any Finnish person speaking English (I watch a fair amount of F1 over the decades, which has always had a lot of Finnish drivers)... then I instantly know "Yep... that person is very much so Finnish..." XD
Just like Swedes, you guys also have a very distinct way of speaking English, where your Finnish language tendencies totally bleeds through. XD
@@Calistarius79 F1 you say. How about "black and round Pirelli's" or "up in the *ss of Timo", ring any bell? 😂
But it's fine really, it's usually very understandable (have heard many native English speakers saying that they usually understand Finns, and other Nordics I guess, pretty well, but that French people tend to have such accent that it's hard to follow).
@@Garbox80 Heh... I know I have seen the Timo one befor... and I might have seen the Pirelli one too... XD
I have not watched a lot of Rally outside of the 80's and 90's though, but I still know some, since... you know... sometimes one goes on youtube watching sprees with one topic or another... like Rally or "Group B"... or "Rally crashes"... XD
F1 has been the only motorsport that I have watched on and of since the mid 90's, with most of my watching having happened during the last 10+ years thanks to the internet. And there the Finnish drivers has often been some of my favorit (there has not been a lot of other Nordic drivers outside of Finns during the last 30 years in F1, and none of them as successful as the Finns)... I mean who does not love the Iceman him self... Kimi Raikkonen!? XD
But anyway... yeah... most of us Nordic are pretty understandable when speaking English... I would say that in general the Finns might be the ones who potentially can be the ones hardest to understand when they speak English... since Finnish it's self is not a Germanic language like the other Nordic languages are, so does not have anything in common with English or how you speak it at all.
I think part of the reason why we Nordics are often very understandable when speaking English, where some other countries might not be... like some people from France as you said... might be due to the level of importance that each nation puts on their citizens learning English. In Sweden (and most Nordic countries I asume) English has a very high level of importance... to the extent that we start to learn it in school very early (4th grade for me... and today they start as low as 2-3rd grade)... and usually the only movies, tv-series, videogames, etc, that gets dubbed to Swedish, are the things that are targeted at children... so kids roughly 10-12 years and younger... entertainment for everyone else is left in it's native English and will at most have Swedish subtitles.
So for the past 50-70+ years most Swedes have had a huge exposure to English being spoken in most things... so even my dad who is really shit at speaking English, can still understand it and make him somewhat understood with his broken "Swenglish"... XD
Where as for example France... where I think that they do start to learn English pretty early in school... they do not put as much importance on English outside of that... since I do believe that most English speaking entertainment that the French are exposed to are almost always dubbed into French.
So while in Sweden the norm is that most English entertainment stays in English (unless it is for young kids), where you have an option of subtitles if you need them (or when on tv the subtitles are there no matter what)... In France the norm is that almost all English entertainment get's dubbed to French, where the French would have to them selves deliberately search for none dubbed stuff instead (with or without French subtitles).
And I think that makes a pretty huge difference in peoples ability to speak English... the more exposed you are to listening to English as you are growing up, the higher the chance of you being able to speak English fairly well. Of course learning it in school, and deliberately practicing it on your own as well, is important... but I think that "indirect" learning by just spending a lot of time with English entertainment is almost as important as the other things.
I recall getting to watch the tv series "V" back in the mid 80's when I was about 6-7 years old, and I was able to follow along and know what was going on thanks to the show having Swedish subtitles... and by the time I started learning English in 4th grade at the age of 10, I was already slightly "primed" in learning English since I had seen it on tv during the previous 10 years of my life).
I mean my mom has always told me that when I was a kid, like 8-9 years old, I would translate English cartoons to my younger brother that we watched on a channel called "Cartoon Network" (a British tv channel I think, so did not have any subtitles)... and as far as she could tell, I was actualkly more or less translating it correctly... like I said befor, I did not start to learn English in school until I was 10. Now I my self do not remember doing this at all... but my mom is adamant about that I was doing it befor I started to learn English in school.
Currently I still use subtitles when I watch things in English... but, I don't use Swedish subtitles, I use English subtitles instead... because eventually I realized that Swedish subtitles don't always translate things correct, or try to translate it to have the same meaning but said in far fewer words. And to me it get's really annoying to have to sit there thinking about how they translated something wrong or what ever... so I use English subtitles instead.
It's not that I need subtitles, I am perfectly capable of watching English things without subtitles... I just like having them there so that if I did happen to miss what was said I can quickly throw my eyes down to the subtitles and get an idea of what I missed. Plus... I am used to subtitles, I have grown up with there being subtitles on close to everything none-Swedish that I watched. This is partly why I always also prefer to watch anime in their native language with English subtitles... never been a fan of dubbed anime, since I feel most of those tend to loose the intended "feeling" that is there with the Japanese voice acting. :)
@@Calistarius79 Juha Kankkunen said that Pirelli line when asked about what kind of tires he has =D.
And "V"... I remember seeing one or two episodes back in the 80's (we're about the same age I see) and it was scary as hell when I saw the face ripped for the first time.
And I've given up the English subtitles too if the audio is good enough. I just noticed a month or so ago that all this exposure to English YT videos has helped quite a lot to my speaking too (even though it's a bit "stiff" at first still because I don't get to use it a lot, once or twice a year maybe).
loved watching this, had to sub ya
Try Marko pre vocal injury. Tarot i think was the name of the band where he was the lead singer. Talk about hair metal high notes.
Tarja y Markos!!!
thanx kar great reaction. this truly shows how different all singer in nightwish have been. (tarja,anette,and floor) tarja and floor of course almost same when opera. i love tarja and i seen floor second time and first time marko hietala town with festival next month (maybe last time that city coz marko )hmmm i m to much drunk so i forget what i want to say :) so great reaction and have awesome day there :) yeah and tarja solo music is awesome.
Fun stuff and great analysis! BTW, at 7:43 you nailed Alex Brightman's Beetlejuice voice, lol. Look that up. Take care and rock on! 🤘
Watching your review while enjoying a glass of Riesling.
Opera and metal go hand in hand in my opinion! just got to fit it together the right way!
Stumbled on this channel via Eskimo Callboy, subscribed for this. Nice!
New to the channel, loving the fact you are into deathcore! My favorites being Parkway Drive-Boneyards and Attlila-Proving Grounds :-)
I peak at the videos you put out every so often, since you make some cool analysis. Since when this lighting and depth of field? You're looking real sharp! I just wanted to drop into the comments to compliment you on the quality of your video recording.
Keep this kind of content up, it's super interesting whenever I tune in :)
Thanks for the kind words, Jared! We're definitely always looking to up our game where we can, production wise. Just figuring it out as we go along, Hope to see you around some more!
Ha! I still have a few cases of various meads I made several years ago. I even made a “Pumpkins United Spiced Mead” in honor of Helloween’s reunion. I gave their roadies a case of it, I know the Bassist, Markus Grosskopf enjoyed it.
Tarja is an anomoly. Fantastic operatic voice with hard rock music
the thing that also makes this performance so emotional is all the behind the scenes stuff going on, unless I'm mistaken this is one of the last songs she ever sang with the band(she was about to get blindsided by a "you're fired" letter)
Any chance you could react to UTA Tonight We Ride and talk about the background vocal growls specifically the ones that sound like a lion roar? Is that actually them or do they have an effect on their voices?
I love Tarja so much!
She's awesome!
You should analyze The Weak Willed by All That Remains. Had a throwback day the other day and I forgot how heavy it was.
Think we need that Andy Cizek vocal performance of Deadnest they released. Phenomenal performance.
buena tu reacción mi amigo barbón
Nice reaction congratulations !!!!
Greetings from Peru (South America)
High male tenors,- ahem:
Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Tony Martin, Sebastian Bach, Rob Halford, Geoff Tate, Jon Oliva, Udo Dirkschneider, Robert Plant, Ronnie James Dio.......
This version of the Phantom is probably never gonna get outshone,- and personally I find the version with Floor and Henk lame in comparison ( Floor fan btw).
There, I said it,- go crucify me.
Love this channel.
High male tenor: Skid Row-Wasted Time - Official Video ( Sebastian Bach)
Tarja fan that also loves Floor here: let's be fair that Marco and Tarja had a full band here and Floor and Henk did not.
I would love to see *equip sunglasses* by Hot Mulligan. It's more pop punk style, yes, but there's a lot of artists that do that technique and it seems tough.
You have to hear Floor's version with Henk poort of the Phantom of the opera. Chilling!!!
I'll check it out!
Marko Hietala😍😍😍 Check out Floor with her old band Revamp live at Graspop with the the song "Disdain" That is totaly in your Wheelhouse
Try Within Temptation with Taja guesting to the song Paradise (What About Us)... awesome tune... great vocals....
I always say Marko steals this performance. 🤘
You ought to try Beast in black - Blind and Frozen, the singer there - Yannis Papadopoulos - has an amazing range. Then you ought to listen to him (solo) sing Nightwish - Ghost Love Score and be amazed...
Omg YES, 100% agreed!!!
So, if you want to continue down this rabbit hole, may I recommend: 1) Tarja solo with her band doing this with all sorts of amazing phantoms, including Russell Allen; and 2) Floor doing this with Henk Poort on a cheesy singing show called Beste Zangers. Henk said he would only agree to it if he could do it with Nightwish. And Floor was legendary!
That sounds cool, I'll check those out!
This was Tarjs's last live show
Check out Floor Jansen and Henk Poort singing this song!!! It was on a Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers... Mind-blowing 😊
you actually did a good job with Tarja's part 😁
Haha, thanks!
I don't know if anyone mantioned on the coments, but Tarja is mezzo soprano
También te recomiendo slaying the dreamer, the siren y planet hell del mismo concierto, canciones cantadas por ellos. Fueron un dúo espectacular 😊!!
Should totally do Grim Reminders by DeadVectors. It has a 33 second scream that I'd love to see your reaction to
Right. I Love Nightwish. And Tarja&Floor&Marko. Buuuut, I think you should try something new!
I would love for you to hear Sabaton - En Livstid i Krig. It might not be the craziest or most spectacular, but it hits hard. Basically it's a ballad (kinda) from a power metal band, about the thirty years war... But from a soldiers perspective... In Swedish, in front of a packed Swedish arena. I was at the show after (in Stockholm) and it really was very powerful. I think you'd enjoy it, even though it lacks screaming (:
Edit: I missed to say that the live version in Gothenburg is the One to watch
This one is so incredible and more people should watch!!
Might be time for some EPICA sometime soon...
Kardovox, I'd love love love to see you get back to the roots. Try reacting to Tide by Humanity's Last Breath. Its been out for awhile, however they add something new they havent done before. Love your content!
