Marko is the best Phantom you will find, no matter the genre. His growls are PERFECT for a character that's actually broken.
Also, this is one of those songs where the live version absolutely blows the studio version away.
Not at all...Henk Poort. End off. ;) Please check out Floor Janssen (Current Nightwish singer) & Henk Poort doing The Phantom of the Opera! :0
@@Scandinavian88 Henk is an amazing singer in his own right, but he's no Marco when it comes to metal vocals.
Agree with you
I disagree. The original Nightwish cover was sung with Tony Kakko and it is simply superior. I like Marco generally but Tony just owned that role.
Tony sang Phantom of the Opera with Tarja? only know their version of "Beauty and the Beast"@@Draugo
This is THE phantom for me. Nothing beats Marko as the phantom for me. I did not care much about the album version though( i don`t care about musicals either), but this version and some few other live versions made this into a classic. Goosebumps every time.
It's worth mentioning that Tarja was sick during the concert. She ceased speaking several hours before the concert to somehow save her voice, BRAVO to the QUEEN
And drummer Jukka have migren. He hold his head in this video…
And then she was given the open letter after that concert...
@@Diveyl This was the last show, wasnt it? I dont understand how they could experience that energy and follow through with it.
@@fatcarl76 They felt that Tarja made them bigger (more famous) then they could handled at the moment, so they "set her free". In the long run she was successful in solo career and as for Nightwish... Anette was ok but in the end they had found Floor
And then she was fired right after the show
One of their crew members put Jack Sparrow on the keyboard stand before one gig and Tuomas noticed during the gig that it was there. It became band inside joke during the Once world tour. Since that tour he's had all kinds of decorations on the keyboard stand.
Hahahah I love that.
Yeah, some people, who are not me, seem to think that Tuomas looks a bit like mr. Depp. They certainly give off the same kind of calm, introvert and empathic vibe. Both Tuomas and Johnny have voices that would be great for ASMR.
Welcome to the Tarja era!!! Without her amazing vocals there would not be the NW you know today as it was her rich dark classical vocals that helped create the genre of symphonic metal!!! Tarja always matches her outfits with her mic! Please react to more of her time with NW as well as her solo stuff
Don´t know if someone mentioned it but Tarja was really sick that evening. She wasn´t sure if she could perform. A pretty bad flu. And then she goes out and sing like that. Amazing
For me, the star of this song is Marko, i love Tarja and her performance a great deal, but it is Marko who pushes it from great to epic and then some.
Also, his voice is made to sing together strong female vocals, his voice always fits the other voices, and his skill is on par with any of the singers he performed with.
Final thought, "The Phantom of the Opera" as a musical, already has a bit of a rock vibe to it, i would not be the slightest bit surprised that when Andrew Lloyd Webber heard this rendition for the first time, he smiled and thought something like "i knew the song had this hidden in it", after all, this is his favorite version of the song.. a non-musical theater version.
Hey Jenna, greetings from UK
I'm glad you enjoyed this one 😉
Tarja not only had microphones to match her outfits, the stand is also the same colour
Yayyy, The Phantom with Tarjaa! Thanks! 💖
Everytime I see footage from this show, it makes my eyes tear up because I know I will never get to see Nightsih with this line up live, Tarja is and forever will be my #1 metal goddess, she is so fantastic I have no words!
I do like Floor as well, but I seriously belive that Nightwish as a band in the form they exist today, would not exist without Tarja. Im sure Tuomas would still have started a band and probably made it quite successfull too since he's such a genius, but I don't think it would sound anything like Nightwish without Tarjas contribution!
I remember seeing Tarja solo live for the first but hopefully not last time back in 2016, I seriously thought I was going to faint, it was an otherworldly experience!
👍This is my favorite performance of this song. 🖖❤
Great reaction! Love this performance. From the End of an Era concert. The band fired Tarja right after this concert via an open letter. The matching outfits, microphone and stand was a thing for this concert and they changed as her outfits changed color throughout the concert. Yes that is a Captain Jack Sparrow figure on his stand. Tuomas does look a lot like Captain Jack and is also a big fan of movie soundtracks and especially Hans Zimmer so it makes sense.
Marko totally steals the show for me on this one. Tarja is great however I do think there are other songs that better showcase her voice. The Siren, Bless the Child, Planet Hell, Nemo, Wish I had an Angel, Sleeping Sun (love the 2005 music video), and Forever Yours are some of my favorite Tarja performances.
Now you need to checkout Floor and Henk Poort's performance of this song. Henk is a famous musical theater star in the Netherlands and was the very first Phantom in the Dutch production of the show. My favorite performance is from the Dutch singing show Beste Zangers in 2019. They use the Nightwish arrangement but more rock and less metal and Floor is using a very musical theater style of singing. There is also a live performance with Nightwish in Amsterdam. When Floor asked Henk to sing Phantom with her on the show he agreed with the request that they sing it with Nightwish the next time they were in Amsterdam. Pandemic delayed that performance until 2022 but it was magical. They kept it a secret so the fans were unsure if they would do it and when it starts the fans go nuts. Floor is more operatic in her singing and she holds that final note for over 10 seconds.
Agree
But nothing beats Tarja and Marko
Henk is good but, with all due respect, he is not Marko and he has different voice. Tarja and Marko duet from this concert is the ultimate version.
Thanks!! Amazing rendition of the song!!
The matching outfits with the mics is a Tarja thing. Tarja did it on that concert and on the ONCE tour before that. She also partly did it in her solo career later on.
I hope you continue reacting to Nightwish with all the singers, Tarja, Anette and Floor. :)
Marko will forever be the Phantom to me. ❤
High hopes another cover by Nightwish that will blow your mind
This version introduced me to the Nightwish name back when it came out. I loved it!! I didn't follow them after that, sadly. My Mom did have one their CD's. I rediscovered them last year when i watched a compilation of reactions to GSL. That was my first reaction video i ever watched. I asked my Mom: Was it Nightwish that you loved? Yes it was. I have been obsessed with Nightwish and Floor since then.
This is my favorite version. It's like my first love. 😊
It is Jack Sparrow on the keyboard stand. I believe it came from a fan, and the crew is responsible for it being there. 2005 concert in Helsinki (End of an Era DVD), Tarja's last Nightwish show, the guys knew but she didn't. She was fired after the concert after 9 years and 5 albums, but has gone on to a long and successful solo career. Tarja had several outfits in this 18 song set, the mic and mic stand were matched with each one. Andrew Lloyd Weber has seen this version, and he loved it. Song #5 on the night, try the next song, "The Siren". Also from this concert, Marko sang lead on the cover/tribute of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes".
To have a microphone that fits the outfit was a Tarja thing. In this concert she changed outfit several times.😊😊😊
beautiful video❤
Background stuff from their book (timeline 2001):
"On my trip around the world, I saw the musical Phantom of the Opera in London", Tuomas continues. "That's when the title theme totally hit me. I'd liked it for years, and it felt like it was finally time to cover it. It just so happened that after we'd recorded the song, I heard that a band called Dreams of Sanity had already covered it before us. But then again, does it really matter?"
Marco had a central role in Phantom of the Opera, too. "Perhaps I'm guilty of some over-interpretation", Marco laughs. "I was listening to the musical version of the song and I was like, 'Okay, there's no way I'm up for that, but maybe I could sing it as a raving loony." Someone on our forum made a big deal about it, like, 'Why do people always assume that the Phantom is a crazy lunatic? He's in love! Why can't you interpret him in a way that would show his sensitivity?'
But of course - the guy's just lurking masked in the sewers. Surely he's not mad, he's just in love!"
We should make someone react to Dreams of Sanity's version one day.
At gunpoint.🤣
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 I listened to it when you mentioned it some time ago. Not a classic, to put it nicely 😂
@@ValtteL Oh yes, on our friend Bruce's channel, where we also haled the real trve... yeah.
Perhaps we should be more open-minded and appreciate the talent that I'm sure is there... somewhere.
Jokes aside, I do like some of the music Tilo wrote ("Sapphire", the first 2-3 minutes of "Satura" and "Kabinett der Sinne"), but this flamboyant goth guy really, REALLY shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a microphone.😂
Thank you so much for this reaction. 👍🏻 The best performance ever of this song. Nothing beats Tarja and Marko..🤘🏻 Maybe you would like to do more Tarja reactions? Would be great.
It is a true pleasure to listen to the tunes by all three singers and how the music adapted to each. Tarja crushed it here.
Thank you for the reaction!! :) Tarja and Marco are such a power duo together, so different and yet so fitting. 🙏🏽 "Slaying the Dreamer" (End of an Era 2005) is another intense one!
Nightwish also covered the Christmas-y song "Walking in the Air" (From Wishes to Eternity concert). Tarja's darker mezzo soprano is peak there, simply stunning ❣
8:44
Absolutely! I love that "fusion" of different genres too.
Yes, that is Captain Jack! It is a Tarja thing. She uses mics that match her outfit.
Same concert but look up The Siren. Magnificent and haunting.
I don't know how often this was done but I remember seeing a live video where she was wearing red with a red microphone and stand.
Thanks for sharing NW reactions 🤘🏻🤗
Tarja had mics to match her dresses
She still does, in her own concerts😊
Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala. Kiitos from Finland.
Interesting that you’ve picked a Tarja version of Phantom, personally I think this is the best for what it is!
Tarja’s vocals are outstanding and suit the song so well, Marko absolutely slays it, his part is such a great contrast! I was a big fan of the Sarah Brightman and Antonio Banderas version of Phantom, but this comes and gives me a very difficult choice!
Nice reaction and rundown, more please 🌹
I also think this is probably the best because of Marko. But the version of this year by Nightwish with Floor and Henk is also very excellent
@@Meine.Postma I agree, Floor is a superb singer - much more versatile than Tarja was and more suited to how Nightwish has evolved. I also think that Floor’s version of Ghost love score is significantly better than Tarja’s version.
@@DarrellW_UKJust your opinion…
@@HelMut3103 absolutely, I followed Nightwish right from the beginning so know lots about the history of the band. I never thought anyone could be better than she was but…..
I still listen to what Tarja is doing now, she’s doing great!
@@DarrellW_UK Agreed on Ghost Love Score. Floor just took that totally for herself. She can sang it in lower arrangement and made it superb. A singing Valkyrie right there.
Tarja has a microphone to go with each outfit she wears on stage
This is my favorite song from NW but I like most of their songs. Also loved their live in Athens this summer! Can't wait for the next!
Re:Yellow Dress - Tarja often had multiple costumes (2-3) together with matching mic/stand at many concerts, and they pulled out ALL the stops for the End of an Era concert since that was destined for a DVD release. This is from the End of an Era DVD, the final stop on the Once tour and the plan was always that this would be made into a DVD so they pulled out all the stops.
IIRC Tarja uses something like 6-7 costumes and slightly smaller number of mics and mic-stands for this specific concert. The End of an Era DVD is easily findable as a HD remaster on CZcams) so if someone cared it wouldn't be hard to count. The End of an Era DVD is also infamous for some really janky & dated video effects on some tracks (flames around the picture, strange zoom), most modern version has these toned down as much as possible but there's limits. Fortunately it doesn't hurt it too much, it's just weird given how **** good the quality is for a 2005 concert recording.
What’s even more impressive about this duet is that it’s not a music video or recording but I live performance and they sound incredible. Also, Tarja was sick during this tour which makes me respect and admire her even more. It was absolutely incredible.
This is the classic lineup with the first singer Tarja and a GREAT cover of Phantom of the Opera. I love this one. I do recommend that You also listen to the more recent version performed with Floor in 2022 together with Henk Poort (the Dutch Phantom on stage). This version is a mix of the classical performance and more like the original musical version. The ending from Floor is magical: czcams.com/video/TM23gaT4zkY/video.html
My preferred version.
Floor last note is insane ♥♥♥
For more Marko and Tarja I would recommend The Siren and Slaying The Dreamer. Both from this same End Of An Era Concert. And the latter one is way too "under-reacted" IMO.
Tarja changed outfits several times during the performance (yellow, red, white, black) ... and the microphone + stand also switched.
i know i am late on this reaction, i hope you see this. one thing you notice at start of video, Jukka the drummer, grabs his head. He was in the midst of a migraine headache and he was in pain. There is a recent video release of Tarja and Marko reuniting after 20 years, they do Phantom of the Opera. It is worth watching as it’s awesome.
You should totally watch this End of an Era concert, it's a really good time!👍
Great reaction, Jenna! You are right when you said that Tarja is very operatic. Floor is the lead I am most familiar with, but the two earlier singers helped make Nightwish the band it is today.
Hello to all beautifull people. It was awesome!
Most incredible Nightwish song is
NIGHTWISH - The Greatest Show on Earth (with Richard Dawkins) (OFFICIAL LIVE)
But first analyze the lyrics and what the song is about. it's very important!
tarja its a goddess her fovice its pure perfection no one else can be at her level and this song its one of the perfect examples of that every time i listen this songs i cant help to cry of her voice and marko its the perpect match this song its pure perfection
Check out "High Hopes" Pink Floyd Cover by Nightwish. Marco is singing. It was a part of the same Concert.
I have some difficulty watching this amazing performance at times knowing that right after this show Tarja was fired from the band. If she had any clue that was going to happen it didn't show in her performance and the rest of the band who did know gave it their all as well. There is an old saying that the show must go on and on that night Nightwish lived up to that for sure.
They started with her...as a founding member and her voice with music and lyrics by Tuomas made the foundation for the whole NW concept. They still have done more albums with her than with the substitute singers together until 2023. Marco and Tarja also act the roles of this classic so well. The color of the mic is speciality of this very concert which is one of the ever best there has been. See it totally and note it changes.
Yellow costym and yellow mic. 😊❤
Kiitos is thank you
Love y
Marko is the real hero in this song. He just blows my mind
Oh, Tarja 😍❤❤ our OG !!
Great Tarja..gorgeous Jenna
It great to see all incarnations of this amazing band and having seen them last year just blew my mind but it is worth having a listen to floor version too ... on a side note as a fan of the warning too a band I think you will really enjoy is Alter Bridge words darker than there wings live at the Royal Albert Hall just outstanding vocal performance I'm sure you will appreciate
So Tuomas looks like Jack Sparrow honestly. Also, this whole concert is awesome.
Marko just collaborated with Exit Eden on their new song Run!! Totally worth a reaction.
Tarja, Floor, they are both great.
Sorry Henk. You are very good, No question about it, but this version of this song is in Godmode! As simple as that! Wow.
It is Captain Jack! Great reaction!🤘🎸
🇬🇧 Norfolk strapped in for the ride 😊 her last performance
See the sadness in the men’s faces knowing what was to come
Nightwish is Symphonic Metal
With Tarja they have Sleeping Sun and i love it : Nightwish - Sleeping Sun (LIVE)
More incredible Marko : NIGHTWISH - The Islander (LIVE AT TAMPERE)
It's kinda like ballads. I bet You would love it :D
❤
Btw, to listen to a metal singer doing the Phantom in a more traditional style and wearing a mask, look up Dan Vasc's cover of Music of the Night.
the best version of all times.marco best phantom.and tarja magnific but she sick in these concert
You're not wrong, it is indeed a Capt. Jack Sparrow figurine. Your goofiness levels were off the charts this time Koality, and I'm totally here for it 😁
Hahahaha Thank youuu 🤍
Tarja Turunen the best!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Great reaction as always. I think the word you were looking for to describe Marco's part going into Tarja's solo was.....unhinged!!
Hahaha totally!! 🔥
I’ve seen the Phantom of the Opera several times and even got to play in the pit orchestra for a run and this version of this part of the musical is my favourite. I do like Floor and Henks version but this one I really love because of Marko.
You nailed it on the Jack Sparrow doll.
Also, and maybe it’s just me, but when Tarja throws her head back like that I instantly see The Fifth Element scene in my head. 🇨🇦
In that concert she changes microphone along with her costume. If you wear a red outfit, the microphone was also red.
Marco did eventually don a mask, as Tohtori. Want to here him sing Backstreet Boys? Elton John? Prince?
Tarja is know to match her mic with her outfits. Yellow dress, yellow mic and mic stand, red outfit red mic and mic stand, and white outfit white and white mic stand. And you can guess with black
As fair as I know, the first rock opera was A Quick One While He's Away, from 1966. There is a live version from The Rolling Stones Satanic Circus which aired on the BBC. It's very raucous but you may want to give a listen
Tarja Turunen, the symphonic metal goddess
Tarja New Album - Dark Christmas Out Now. O`Holy Night. Tarja Live at Metal Church `Numb`official live video.
Helloo great video! And hope you'll check out the new the phantom of the opera of Nightwish with Floor!
🤘🎸
If you love Nightwish I suggest you to react to Ayreon - Everybody Dies (Live Ayreon Universe)!!!
It's a song from a concept album (rock/space opera), but this is not the best part :D
I'll not spoil you anything, it worth a watch
❤
Nightwish - The Siren With Tarja - End of an Era please react
Great reaction. :) If you like when band mixing different music genres together, I really recommend Visual Kei, it's japanese movement as music, fashion etc. In Visual Kei music most bands are rock and metal, but you can find there almost everything, pop, electronic music, jazz, enka (type of traditional japanese music) and many many more, even in one band's discography you can find many different genres and styles, even in one song, but there are some typical theatrical elements for Visual Kei, in clean vocals, behavior etc. I really recommend band The Gazette, amazing band, definitely my favourite band ever.
Sleeping sun is good too with Tarja!! you should check it
I love Tarja ❤
Since you love rock operas so much, you should explore its birthplace. I recommend The Who, A Quick One (While He's Away), live at the rolling stone rock n roll circus. You will get see one of the most notorious live acts of all time and the birth of rock opera in one shot!
You have to do "Creek Marys Blood" from this show.
Tarja is GODDESS
I love Floor, but for me Tarja will always be nr1 when it comes to nightwish.
If you want to hear more of Tarja solo try something from her new album Dark Christmas . Only Tarja can make Frosty the snowman sound like it should be in a psychological thriller.
But Marko does wear a masque here...sort of anyway and very briefly.
Check him at 4:14 - dear Marko accentuates the lyrics in his own way. :)
You have to do WishMaster from the same concert
I know you have done many reactions of nightwish, but i suggest you try some songs like: "wish i had an angel", "amaranth", " song of myself", live from wacken 13
"dark chest of wonders" live from masters of rock
"want my tears back" and "dead boys poem" live from buenos aires
"The poet and the pendulum" and "your is an empty hope" live from wembley
"The greatest show on earth" live from tampere
And also "Noise" from the islanders arms
Thanks for the reaction, it was so fking cool 🤙
THANKS for some TARJAWISH !!!!!!!!!!!!
Been flipping out over TARJA'S new DARK CHRISTMAS album videos . 12 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ☮☮💘💘💥💥
This is Katharine McPhee inmo!
Hi Jenna I'm one of those people who like a lot of different types of music, and I can appreciate both Tarja and Floor for their talent and different personality that they bring in their performance I even like Anette Olzon but only on the studio recordings, sorry,
I hope you don't mind a little criticism from me, on your use of the term Rock Opera technically Nightwish and Epica are Symphonic metal bands I hope you're not to upset by my pedantic nature on this point I do enjoy your reactions very much.
Tarja had several different coloured microphones to suit her outfits! Probably still does.
Chech out her Tour Beauty And Beat togheter with her drummer Mike Terrana
Apparently the scene this song is from is never "live" on Broadway.
There are bands out there that perform what is known as Cinematic metal that are similar to this. Check out Dark Sarah - Dance with the Dragon.
🤩👌💥💯🎶
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Queen Tarja, the one and only. 🙏 Love her! ❤️👍
NW Army Italian Division here. Now you have to react to the version of this song with Floor during the live show last year in Amsterdam at Ziggo Dome
Floor live version last year with Nightwish was also fantastic. I recommend reaction to it too. Live from Amsterdam with Henk Port.
Now that you have listen to Tarja with Nightwish, you need to read up on her leaving the band and then listen to Poet and the Pendulum
Hey I'm glad you like the song, really, it's one of the two best metal songs I've ever heard and I've heard many. But you know, one thing about your reaction video... you talk too much too vain things. Youi're not the only reaction video maker who does this, so don't worry, you can improve and I hope you do. I don't say "insults" to put you down, but to help you see where you could improve so you could produce better content. Please take it as such. :)
