Hello Jennifer Glatzhofer ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air festival 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of a 82k audience. Also a recent sad news - these days Marco Hietala, the bass player and male singer of the band, announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. As I saw, you enjoyed the powerful performance of the band, together with the stellar vocals of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen. Thank you for your vocal technical insights. Hope you'll continue on this path. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory): "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4ydltBxlK3Jdps.html​ "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/rK6TmbF8c7TSiNY.html "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqqfu9mIer21frg.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/noWpl7Ojmceuh8o.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWx5la5wl8qyfbA.html​ "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/YmmZy9adXainZqw.html "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaqDppixlcbWmJc.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) kzread.info/dash/bejne/naKlx6txYJrAnLw.html​ "Sleeping Sun" live at Vizovice Masters of Rock festival 2016 (ballad) kzread.info/dash/bejne/ooqEtrd-h5S2dbA.html "The Islander" live at Tampere 2015 (Marco in charge..) kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKNs0MWEj5jRqsY.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gJx516OJidDFhco.html​ "Alpenglow" live at Wembley 2015 (uplifting / metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKZ-2K2TfqjOZ8o.html "Sahara" live at Tampa 2016 (middle eastern vibe) kzread.info/dash/bejne/noiqu8iFkZe9nM4.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/qXVoltajkbObnpM.html​ "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnaDxsmxmsWWm7A.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmZq1MGvcby3YLQ.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4JmlZuJktTImtI.html​ "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqqnyNl6gMW9iMY.html​ And if you want to hear Floor growling :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqmru5OdXa6vo9Y.html Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: kzread.info/head/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)

Then 15 weeks ago she dropped the third cover, in Dutch: "Is Dit Nou Later" from Stef Bos - already 267K views. Just before Christmas she made a powerful cover of "Ave Maria" - already 282K views. 12 weeks ago she added a remastered / remixed version of the first one, "Let It Go" - already 183K. 10 weeks ago she added to the list a powerful cover of "Adagio" by Lara Fabian (!!!) - 385K views now. Then, just 5 weeks ago she gave us the last one so far: "Oblivion" by M83 - 386K views in 5 weeks.. Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.

@@JenniferGlatzhofer Remember that Floor is very well warmed up by this song - it is the 13th of 15 in their 90 minute headlining set at Wacken 2013, and they had been on stage for 70 minutes at the start of this song, although Floor was doing a costume change during one - which had a slight malfunction, which was remedied in the intermezzo section of this song after putting up with it for the three previous ones - can you see where it is fixed? Once you know, it is clear, but on her entry to the stage after the instrumental ("Last Of The Wilds") and costume change, for "Bless This Child", Floor arrives at the sprint and hits the mic on the millisecond! The Intermezzo on this song was the first chance she had to get it fixed. The whole concert is worth watching, although a few of the songs do have better recordings from elsewhere - "I Want My Tears Back", for example, is better at Buenos aires 2018 - the audio quality is similar (most of the officially recorded ones are good) but the audience energy and interraction makes the difference. Just avoid fan-cams, which have universally dreadful audio quality, unless it is for a song you can't get any other way. And because the band in general and Floor in particular gain energy from live audiences (Floor has said so herself), they are almost always better than the studio work. Singing in an isolated recording booth does not lend itself te the passion you see in the live shows.

Rio 2012 is also wonderful: better camera love for Floor, more audience including them chanting her name after just one concert never having heard her before, clearer choir in the mix, and I'd say more sincere expression overall, not as polished yet as here. She also had a cold which helped the grit & choked up feels. She was auditioning still and not a permanent band member yet. Actually I like Rio more than this more refined "perfect" version, for those reasons.

Please react to Nightwish rendition of "The Phantom of the Opera" with the original Nightwish female vocalist Tarja Turunen. It's from Helsinki Finland 2005 End of an Era concert. Tarja is not as versatile a singer as Floor, but her operatic vocal style really fits the song. But for me the star of the performance is the bassist Marko Hietala, in the role of the Phantom/Eric. For me it is the best version I know. Marko has blown away several opera singers, vocal coaches, music teachers with his vocals. Greetings from Helsinki Finland!

I was surprised by two things. The fact that she was nervous that day. I know it’s a normal human reaction but she looked so confident up there. And the second thing when she teared up after that last note. I didn’t expect it since she sang the song 100 times but it still got to her. A lot of musician get jaded by their own music. It was wonderful to see tbh.

An 8 year old performance of a 17 year old song still blowing peoples minds, Nightwish been doing this for 25 years now, sooooo underrated and so sad that the majority of the world is only just discovering them, "raw" talent, there's nothing "raw" about it their all masterful and Tuomas Holopainen has got to be the most underrated composer's in history, he is a pure genius at putting together these monumental once heard never forgot scores, as for Floor, words cannot describe her very very few singers can sing anything and everything with perfection. These modern day "popular" music female singers who call themselves "Diva's" Know nothing, Floor has no limits, no boundaries, no specific style, whatever you've heard from her and how ever much , you've seen nothing yet.

15 minutes is far from the longest reaction to Nightwish I have seen. Make your reactions as long as you need to say want you want. True fans of your reactions are more interested in what you have to say than the exact length of the video.

Floor is actually a vocal coach and does a Master Class.

When Floor stands up there, avenging angel, dominating the stage, powerful stance, blasting out those last three notes, I get tears in my eyes and I feel like fainting. I've never seen anyone like her. Valkyrie Goddess of Metal.

Floor commands attention and then as the song progresses she grabs the audience and wills them to action. Masterful.

the songs "Ever Dream" & "Storytime" from the same show Wacken 2013 will amaze you just as much

Without lockdown I’d never have discovered Floor Jansen. A day doesn’t pass without a Nightwish reaction video!

Hi Jennifer, you just listened to the Nightwish Army's welcome song. It's our call to arms to support the new listeners to Nightwish. You have a wonderful journey in exploring this bands overall talents including the bands other two vocalists. Floor's voice touches your soul. Many of us get the chills and often shed a tear or two. I look forward to your future reactions and following you on your Nightwish journey. Follow Gabriels lead on where to head next.

Hi from the UK. Just another day at the Nightwish office! Floor is Dutch and is classically trained. She is a 1.8m powerhouse and can really "sell" a story with emotion, expression and her vocal gymnastics. Nightwish instrumentalists...there are no words. Always epic performances, sometimes inclusive with audience participation and brilliant compositions, which take you on a journey! Great reactions and analysis. Best wishes and stay safe.

In my opinion, Floor is one of the GOATs.

One of my all time favorite comments, was most people sing what they can. Floor sings anything she wants to. In this song she just gets better and better. The last section rips your brain out of your head. Such a climax. Your facial reaction shows us what you thought... Thank you young lady.

Not only Floor is great, the whole Band is awesome.😂

This performance, the tightness, the execution the absolute insane skill of these performers. It is a performance of a lifetime, most bands will never even come close to this level of performance.

During the interlude by the London Philharmonic Orchestra the band members always leave the stage. Actually, bit of trivia, Floor had a stuck zipper on the left side of her outfit, which got fixed at this time. Enjoyed your reaction and commentary. More Nightwish please. 😄🤘

I here Nightwish for over 15 Years and i have never seen that Empu makes a big Show from his Gitarr Solos the right Feet on the Monitor His Gitarr on his Lapp and he plays his Gitarr Solos minimalistic Smole and with absolute Style

You are so smart. Floor is awesome. So good, so well trained. Lieder Style. She relaxes and sings these notes with ease. Plus she is easy to look at. She covers "Alone" and does a wonderful job of it. The members of the band are working hard also. The drummer kills it. Don't be afraid. They just charged up before the next section. Floor really sings her tail off in this portion. It gets better and better.. This is my favorite part of the song. She makes the difficult look easy. Bravo! I saw an interview with Floor and she said there was 80,000 fans at this show. She said she got energy from them. And it shows. So very special! I would like to thank you for your insights. Take care.

The little orchestrated interlude is a part of the original album version too. It's for building tension, i guess. Well, that's our Floor's ordinary day at the office. Thank you and Happy Easter! ⛄🐣🐇👍

This is my music. This moves me beyond words can say.

And now listening to her other great performances I would say, starting with Shoemaker, then The Poet and the Pendulum, The Greatest Show on Earth, her songs with Troy and Marko, and so on .......

Nightwish - The Islander, live at Tampere. You must react to Marco's voice now.

Welcome, Jennifer, from the Southern California contingency of the Nightwish Army. We all love Floor for her amazing talent and grace. This is a band I consider the best of the past 25 years, and my music appreciation began more than 60 years ago. Want to take a moment to recognize the composer: Tuomas Holopainen, and the entire band (Tuomas on keys, Marco on bass, Emppu on guitar and Jukka on drums), plus the London Philharmonic Orchestra playing in the background. The is much that makes this performance so exceptional. This song was written years before this performance, for a different lead singer (Tarja Turunen), yet most of us NW fans recognize that Floor's performance here in 2013 was seminal. Floor is a generational talent. I hope you continue exploring the rabbit hole that is the greatness of Nightwish (with Floor and before), as I have enjoyed. It is very much a rewarding experience. PS: It is "My Fall", not "My Fail."

Floor is simply stunning. And she can flip her placement note for note.

“I feel like this is just setting us up for what’s to come” … truer words never spoken

Jennifer, so nice to see someone appreciate Nightwish’s artistry without fawning. Particularly a vocalist as accomplished as you are. Cheers 🍻

I have heard that around 80,000 people attended this event. They are pumped. And then we have Floor - a rock goddess. Such a voice. Plus she is hot, cape and hair flips. Engages the audience involves them in the show. I am a bit smitten by this lady. She is well trained and great at her craft. She just builds it to a climax. Plus the band is working their butts off. You can see the crowd surrendering to the sound. This video and their skill brings me to tears. What skill.!!!! I would love to see this. Money, who cares. Worth it! Masters at work here.

Right, otherwise I'll watch the original video. You would do an analysis of dead boy's poem played in Buenos Aires

This song is so epic, its a whole goose bump from beginning to end for me.

My favorite part of this performance (aside from Floor obviously) is watching the rest of the band at the end of the song. They must’ve performed it hundreds of times before, and they’re still so into the song it gives me goosebumps.

Thanks. Every time I see people reacting to this song, and only have ears to Floor, its like they are dumb. I'm sorry, guys, but its like I feel. This song its a piece of art, the composition, arrangement, execution and the more then 40 instruments and choirs that give space to Floor Shine. People just can't listen.

As I understand it, Floor rolled the dice on that high note - it wasn't planned, she was just "feeling it" extra good that night, and went for it - and it came out perfectly. You can almost tell how pleased (and pleasantly surprised) she is with that execution. It's what I feel makes this performance THE performance of that song ; from any other year, from any other venue.

Hands down the best live performance in metal history.

Very nice reaction! This song was about the 13th song in their set that night and Floor was still to perfection. She is my all time favorite singer .

Yes, a master piece of Tuomas aka the Metal Mozart. Made even better by Floor ( last part was hers). Ghost love score aka Ghost love Floor.

Thank you for reacting to one of the best songs from this planet.

Beautiful reaction! Stopped when needed, great analysis and appreciation. Looking forward for more Nightwish reactions from you!

I appreciate the fact that you’re technically proficient and can explain some of the things that us non-vocalists are unfamiliar with

Great reaction! I love this song so much by night wish. The ending part always makes me tear up. It’s just so beautiful. Keep on Slaying Floor Jansen!! And Drop that Bombshell!!

Really really wonderful reaction / critique!

Great analysis and reaction! You're the first reactor I've seen that commented on that breath in the middle of the phrase. You also touched on a few other minor things I'd not seen from dozens of other reactions.

Love your reactions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You said it: a "masterpiece" and a "rollercoaster". Great song and a great performance of it. Thanks for the reaction and analysis.

I watcher it just before watching yours. Kudos to your reaction. If you continue on this journey, you will love seeing the versatility in her voice. Hope to see more NW from you and your channel!

Hello! Nightwish Iowa here, running late as usual. Here I am bawling my eyes out, as usual, I can't listen and not. What a wonderful reaction, thank you!

Thank you for reacting to Nightwish! I also appreciate your voice explanations and the fact that you also got goosebumps as I do whenever I listen to this band.

You were a hoot to watch...nice reaction!

My fall …….. loved your analysis!! Very knowledgeable

I gotta say, I had never truly given Nightwish a chance until I started seeing them on vocal coach reaction channels. Floor is fantastic and Nightwish are now in my permanent rotation on Spotify.

It's nice to hear professionals opinion. Thank's very much for this. I am not professional musician myself, I just want to listen to heavy metal music and I am good in that 🥰

Tremendous reaction, Jennifer, thank you for it!!! I learned a lot and I enjoyed seeing you enjoy it. One of if not the best, most amazing songs/performances ever in the rock era... no question.

Jennifer, I just wanted to tell you thanks. I believe you enjoyed this as much as we did. Floor is in a league all of her own. I read a comment that said many people sing what they can. Floor sings anything she wants to. TRUTH!!!! If ever I've heard it.

Hi Jennifer. That was such a nice reaction. Floor is a brilliant singer and performer. It's not just her singing, it's her personality on the stage. As well as the whole band. They have great charisma when or where ever they perform. Interaction with the audience and with each other. That's what makes these videos so enjoyable to watch. See you soon with Nightwish. Stay safe.

She makes it look SO easy!!

Great reaction Jennifer!! I just love how you say "we" while giving technical explanations! It's so generous, inclusive and warm... I know you're talking about "singers", but I feel included also as a human being when you say that. Loved it!!

Aw thank you!! 🥰 and i’m glad you feel included!! 😁

That expression on your face when she hit that belt at the end of the song... Classic FloorGasm that is :) I never get tired of watching people's reactions to this song their expressions never cease to put a smile on my face :)

Thanks for this great reaction 🙏🏻

I just love this lady ❤

Nightwish Army in Japan checking in. Your reactions from 08:53 to 09:09 brought a tear to my eye. Welcome to Nightwish!

Excellent Jennifer, you're going to enjoy the Nightwish rabbit hole !! I eagerly look forwards to some more of your analysis of Nightwish, Gabriel has supplied his superb introductory suggestion list which you would be well advised to follow. What a lovely British speaking voice you have, and you seriously underlined that geographic location by saying "loo" without a second thought ! Nowhere else in the world would it be heard !! Thank you so much and do keep going, you'll not be disappointed I guarantee. All the best from a real old fart superannuated Brit in SW France.

lol, had to chuckle on "my fail" at the "my fall" part excellent reaction though i'm looking forward to more nightwish & floor reactions

Great reaction new subscriber our Queen Floor jansen is simply stunning you haven't seen nothing yet what she can do enjoy the ride it's going to be a long one keep them reactions coming 👍

I've watched this performance hundreds of times and still get goosebumps 👍your journey is only beginning can't wait to see your face when she growls😂 Floor is a one of a kind she is the Queen 👏👏👏👏x

Lovely, thank you!

Floor react her Self. And she told so many about singing and feelings. 2 Hours ago.and when see Floors MasterClass, dont stress your jaws

Right, and with that out of the way ;) , please react to: Jinjer - Pisces (live session)

I am new to your channel. I believe that Floor is a voice goddess. Such range and skill. She engages the audience throughout the video. Plus I love her flicking her hair. What can I say, she gets better and better. One word EPIC! I really enjoy the vocal movement as she nears the end just after the short break. Difficult is Floor's middle name. As I watch you smile, I believe you loved thid as much as we do. Thank you.......

I guessed floor was tall but..... OMG! She's a 6 footer! No arguing, she really is a goddess

Floor is a very versatile vocalist- you discover something new about her singing in almost every song. To get a quick "sampler" watch Romanticide and Ghost River from the same Wacken 2013 show, and Yours Is An Empty Hope from Wembley 2015. And it that will intrigue you to find more about Marko Hiatala's singing (the bass player) then the next things to watch would be While Your Lips Are Still Red from Wembley 2015, and The Islander from Tampere 2015. Also, may I say your voice is lovely. :)
