She's the definition of "that's how you do it". She's the One.

What I really love about Floor's version is that she uses her voice in so in many different ways in this song. Especially the ending where she does that long operatic note and then switches to chest voice and belts those last notes out, is so impressive. It's really amazing what she can do with her voice! She has a reaction video to this song in her channel where she explains what she does vocally and why she uses different vocal styles in different parts of this song, why the ending is sung differently compared to the original version etc... I recommend to watch that video.

I love the fact that Floor's voice is so flexible, she can sing pop, metal, ópera, she can sing super super high, and growl really deep, she can do everything!

Floor has said that Ghost Love Score is her favorite Nightwish song to sing. She modified the last piece with additional vocals. They started doing this song about seven shows into her tenure and it has been a staple in their setlist ever since.

The solo seems simple but adds so much.

The biggest challenge for a group that uses tracks is to meticulously control everyone’s timing and stay in sync with the orchestral and choral tracks. In some respects it’s significantly more difficult than just rocking out live. There’s no place for any sloppiness or margin for error. And to pull it off you need a group of highly motivated and dedicated musicians whose skills are on par with a symphony instrumentalist. And Nightwish is probably the best example out there at pulling this sort of show off. A Nightwish concert has as much in common with legitimate music theater as it does with a rock/metal concert.

Can there be anyone left who has not reacted to GLS. Tuomas himself thought Creek Mary’s Blood and GLS were the ‘epics’ from the album. Tarja’s renditions quite properly fit that description. BUT! BUT, BUT, Floor’s Wacken GLS just takes this to another level. Floor, at this concert , had just been formally admitted as a full member of the band.

It was pretty cool that she acknowledged him Brian. She’s a class act.

There are major differences between Floor and Tarja, and yes, they both are immensely talented, but for me, the biggest difference is seen at the end of the song. Floor immediately points to Jukka, recognizing his amazing contributions to this masterpiece. I alway felt Tarja wanted to be the center of the attention, yet Floor seems to defer to the other geniuses around her.. They are a tighter band, they share and enjoy each other as they play, and none of them fight for the spotlight, yet they each share a portion of it. This chemistry is so attractive, so enjoyable, and I saw it from the very beginning of Floor's tenure with the band. She owns this song, in my book, and I just can't watch the previous version without feeling it is a puzzle with missing pieces. At this point, in concerts, Emppu comes over to "touch fingers" (like ET) with Floor after she "hits the note" that Tarja never sang. EPIC!

And now you know "The Note" !!!! Floor Jansen is a lyrical soprano, with a range of more than 5 octaves (Eb2 to F5) so far... She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. And She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. The Spell is now Cast !!! Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia 🤘😎🤘.

There is only one and she is FLOOR!!!!!!!

When you say timing, i say '7 days of the wolves' from Wembley.

Great reaction!!! Please do Ghetsemane and Bless the child from the same show. They are amazing as well!!!

Floor is ear candy 🍬 😋 Our Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. :)

Keep going down the Nightwish rabbit hole. You will never be disappointed. Another tight metal band you may also like is Epica, a Dutch symphonic metal band fronted by Simone Simons - another goddess. In fact, Simone and Floor are long time friends, and both have been classically trained. In the Epica Retrospect concert Floor duets with Simone in several songs: Sancta Terra and Stabat Mater Dolorosa. For Epica, I would start with Sancta Terra, then look at Design Your Universe from the same Retrospect concert. As for other NW songs, Gabriel's list will serve you well, but I am partial to Song of Myself. Also, if you are a Pink Floyd fan don't forget to try an older performance of them doing High Hopes which was their tribute to PF. It was done during the last concert Tarja was with them. It was very emotional for them, and the emotion is palpable in their performance.

Vocally there are major differences between the album version with Tarja and Floor's live Wacken version. Instrumentally they're the same on a base level, but there are interesting differences in the mix and in tone that separates them. The orchestral interlude is present in both versions. In the Tarja version the choir is far more forward in the mix, plus significant sections are choir only. Within a few months of joining the band, Floor made significant changes to this song. She pushed the choir to the background, taking over many sections: e.g. "Cure me, kill me" is sung once by Tarja, twice by Floor. The opera stabs were choir only in the Tarja version, but Floor takes that over. The ending starting with that sustained, operatic note from 15:04 on in your video, was an embellishment added by Floor. It doesn't exist in the Tarja version.Tarja sings the opening in a brighter voice, then after the interlude moves to a more darker tone, plus there is a small amount of layering in the album version. Floor uses at least four phonations, perhaps more, plus a variety of textures and distortion in the space of this song. Instrumentally, the band is far more forward in the Wacken version, plus there's a greater richness to their sound. The guitar tone is definitely more metal, plus the keys are more forward in the mix. The drums are more prominent. The album version is a tad bland in comparison.

Thanks Bill for the awesome info!

Hi, don't know if my first comment will re-appear but forget to tell you that at the last part the audience and the backtrack are singing : My fall will be for you, My love will be in you, If you be the one to cut me I'll bleed forever...And for more Dutch female metal singers, listen to Within Temptation and Epica...

just watched you start, and after you stated how much you loved the first version you heard, will you hate this version or will we have to pick you up off the floor? Well, let me get back to it and see. (By the way, I consider this specific performance (and I'm not really a Nightwish fan - Floor fan for sure) to one of the finest video performances I've ever seen, though I do also love Ever Dream from this concert. Well, you love it too much at the end, pulling out of your Foorgasm which you love - a coitus interruptus so to speak before getting to the final climax. Well done!

Thanks Bert she’s a keeper for sure man. Wow!

From 15:05 on is Floor " freestyling" as she put it .....Tarja doesnt sing those parts .

Floor had 48 hours to learn the set. Yes it is different because Floor made this song hers

🤩👍💥💯 Surely it's 'different' coz F. Jansen paraphrases keyboard notes at the end part... 😉 Cool that you gave a look on this one too.... 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

Sounds like between a Disney soundtrack and viking midevil battle lol
