    This was FANTASTIC 🔥Such an awesome marriage between rock and operatic vocal techniques, and they go together so well in so many ways! This was truly a joy to listen to and analyze -- I hope you all learned a thing or two and gained some extra appreciation for this amazing song. Thanks for watching!

      Hi Peter. Learn how to belt healthy? You could ask Floor, she tought Henk Poort (Dutch actor and opera/musical singer) how to sing with a healthy grit too (Floor is/was a voice coach). Henk did a nice job covering 'The sound of silence' in the Disturbed version ( czcams.com/video/q_BJaM-UrXc/video.html ) and Henk and Floor did 'The phantom' too, be it a bit closer to the original ( czcams.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/video.html ). Henk played the phantom for many years in The Netherlands.

      This is Tarja Turunen, the original/first lead/femal vocal for Nightwish, Anette Olzon was second and Floor Jansen the third.
      But I consider this a Marko track, he completely runs away with it in this, his Phantom is so much more than the classical one - he will be missed though I've still haven't give up the hope that he might come back.
      Other good Marko tracks are The Islander Live in Tampere and their High Hopes cover (Pink Floyd), the latter is Marko only on vocals.
      All their three female vocals has been Sopranos but they're still very different, Tarja was very classical, Anette was more pop/rock and Floor is somewhere in-between but is a bit of a cameleon and can sing pretty much anything - very useful trait when having a back catalog with songs written for both Tarja (first 5 albums) and Anette (next 2 albums).

    Marko is without a doubt the best Phantom. And yes that is Jack Sparrow on the keyboard stand. Tuomas became very influenced by movie scores and composers like Hans Zimmer, who wrote the Pirates score. (Actually they lifted most of that score from his score for Gladiator due to reasons) Hence why he wrote the Ghost Love Score 🙂

      Agree 100%. To me, what made Nightwish stand out from the rest was that combination of the symphonic metal and the sound of her voice. Absolutely fantastic. After that, all the others sound too average. Having said that, I totally respect Annette and Floor, they are both very good singers, just nothing special to me.

  • @Trevor21230

    I actually *love* the unusual vowel and consonant sounds from Marko in this performance! I think it gives the character of the Phantom a creepier vibe than he would otherwise have. It almost sounds like the words don't want to come out of the character's mouth and have to be forced out through sheer willpower. That's honestly a terrible description of the vibe I get from it, but it's the best I can come up with.

    Tarja was the original singer and this was her last show. After the concert, the guys gave her the open letter dismissing her from the band.

    Tarja is the original singer of Nightwish. Of the band's 9 albums, the first 5 were recorded with her, the next 2 with Anette, and the last 2 with Floor. A curiosity of this show that you just saw is that Tarja was sick that day. She had a throat infection and was on medication. I'm curious to know what your vocal classification. Are you bass or baritone? Your voice has a beautiful timbre.

In this video you made one small error - you claimed that Phantom was originally done by American theatre, however, it was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and first performed in London, long before it was picked up and began performing on Broadway and finally surpassed the record for longest running show, outlasting Cats - another Andrew Lloyd Webber creation. Keep up what you do!

    Lara Fabian - Je suis malade (From Lara With Love version) is highly suggested
    I'd say it qualifies as raw, powerful and intense in its emotion if that helps 😁

    It is definitely a jack sparrow on the front of Tuomas's keyboard, and if I may i say, they do have some similarity's in their looks to. :-P Tarja was the O.G. Symphonic Metal Queen who brought symphonic metal to the masses, or at least it became more socially acceptable to listen to, i remember we had songs like "Nemo" and " I wish i had an angel" playing on mainstream radio here in Norway when they launched, quite a few female vocalists have been inspired by her career, including a certain Floor.. :-)

    When you had first done Nightwish I had mentioned I had never heard them but then when I went to watch more of them I heard this song and was like OMG I had actually heard Nightwish before. I hadn't recognized the name and I guess the new singer. I absolutely love this and had forgotten I'd heard it before, it is a fantastic rendition. After seeing it again, I'd hoped you would do this one as well so thank you. And thank you for bringing me back to this group I'd forgotten about.
    Thank you for also bringing attention that it's not actually an Opera, like you said, a lot of people don't realize it's not. She is very amazing with Operatic techniques that's for sure!!! On that note I cannot wait to dive further into the opera world based on your suggestions.
    I'm definitely going to have to start contributing to your Patreon soon bc I really do learn a lot of techniques that I never had known before. And appreciate the specifics.
    Marco (?) definitely has the rock thing down pat for sure on this! He reminds me a lot of Meatloaf with his dramatic singing.
    I was so impressed by this and after they come together and it hits the next level- why this became a favorite a long time ago. I've added it to my Spotify list so I don't forget it again! Lol.
    That ending is just INSANE!!! So damn amazing. This is literally my favorite version of this song!

    Tarja was the first singer. Anette is 2nd and Floor 3rd. FYI Nightwish is Floor's 3rd band. You should check out Tarja's solo stuff and some of her classical songs. Tarja has studied classical music most of her life. You should react to Floor and Henk singing Phantom. Nicole Scherzinger singing a song from the Phantom. Marko has a video of singing a duet All I Ask of You . You should react to Tarja singing Supremacy from Muse.

    Would love to see you react to the band Poets of the Fall and their song Carnival of Rust (their most well known song and the music video got voted as the best Finnish music video ever back in 2006 when the song was released). Truly an underrated band from here in Finland. Also a band with many different sounds all the way from slow melodic songs to full on rock.
    Although if you want to immediately hear a song that showcases how crazy good the lead singer Marko Saaresto's voice can be (and while his vocal range might not be the most dynamic out there he is an amazing example of what you can achieve by having absolutely perfect control of your vocals especially the raw emotion that his voice is able to convey) then i recommend listening to their song Daze. His vocals on the chorus are something out of this world.
    I just think that so many more people would love their music if they just ever heard them but since their from Finland it rarely happens. Although many have heard their songs in Remedy's video games Max Payne 2, Alan Wake, Quantum Brake and Control
    (Also every single reactor i have seen reacting to them has been pretty much blown away by their music so i'm very confident you'll like it)
    also... also... lot's of deep and meaningful lyrics and wordplay in their songs
    sorry for the long rant i just really want more people to know about them :D

    I wish you had been around for the last two or three years. Most of the coaches who have reviewed this don’t seem to understand what Tarja is doing, probably because most of them are contemporary-based. But even the opera based people don’t want to go into it, because they don’t want to alienate the people who don’t seem to like TARJA.

    Great analysis, thank you! I knew about the difference between operatic and musical theatre styles, but hadn't thought about the similarities between opera and rock before, but it made sense - I knew about Rob Halford's admiration for Pavarotti (and, if some articles are to be believed, vice versa) but just hadn't made the connection.
    If you want to try Annette, don't go for the same type of song - her strengths are different. If you prefer live performances, I'd recommend Slow Love Slow from Montreux Jazz Festival 2012 or Scaretale Official Live. She also shines on any of the Imaginaerum studio tracks (less so Dark Passion Play in my opinion, where Tuomas was learning to write for a voice other than Tarja's and hadn't quite got there yet).
    One quibble - The Phantom of the Opera is English rather than American. But I know what you mean about the vowels, anyway!

    On a similar vein, symphonic metal band 'Dark Sarah' have a Bass Singer, JP Leppaluoto, singing operatic duets with female lead singer, Heidi Parviainen, in a similar style to this. Check out 'Dance with the Dragon' as a good example of their style.

  • @rnowak85
    @rnowak85 Před 2 lety +7

    Tarja was their first singer and sang in a mostly operatic style. Annette was their second singer and was more of a pop singer with no classical training. When Nightwish fired Tarja they wanted a complete break with their previous style and so went with in a completely different direction. Yes it is a Jack Sparrow doll. Tuomas, the keyboardist and main composer of Nightwish, looks a lot like him and I think someone sent it to him, he loved it and placed it on the keyboard stand. You also should checkout Floor and Henk Poort's version of teh Phantom from Beste Zangers . They use the Nightwish arrangement and Floor absolutely kills it. Henk was the original Phantom in the Dutch production of the musical. For Floor singing some more operatic style vocals, Stargazers live from Buenos Aries and one of their masterpieces, Poet and the Pendulum. The last one is long and deeply emotional for Nightwish fans so recommend a little research into it's background if you do it. Last there is an older video of Floor singing O Mio Babbino Caro on a Dutch TV Show that is quite lovely. czcams.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/video.html

    It's just chaos at the end & I love it every time. Marko is rock honestly. He's been doing it almost longer than I've been alive. His band Tarot kinda paved the way for the bands not in England or America to get in on that sweet 80s hair metal. What's their song.... wings of destruction iirc - it's history
    Lol imagine trying to do the chandelier at a gig? Could be dangerous!

    When doing a critical review of Tarja's voice, it's always helpful to remember:
    a) she is Finnish, which informs many of the vowel choices and positions
    and
    b) her opera training was in the German tradition, which (so I have heard) offers a somewhat different twist on phonation, etc
    .... sorry about the 'etc'... I am just parroting something I heard over on TCV.
    I am decidedly NOT a Voical Nerd.

    There's a band called Dark Sarah that is very theatrical. And all of the songs are written to tell one long, dark fairy tale of Heidi Parviainen's creation. (She's the singer, who plays the title role of Dark Sarah). If you like musical theatre stuff, definitely check them out. I recommend "Dance With The Dragon" to start.
