Absolutely! And not just both, I also love many Anette's songs! And another thing. If you are a Nightwish fan, it's still bad manners attack singers from other bands. And ultimately, it's a matter of taste too.

Definitely! One of the positive side effects of the otherwise sad occurrence of having replaced singers, is that there are multiple and varied performances of so many of these amazing songs. Not only with different singers but also instrumental versions of some as well now. I feel lucky to have so much amazing talent to enjoy! I can never get bored with the bounty of being a Nightwish fan! :D

You are correct. I do think both singers are great and I still listen to Tarja. Tarja is great with the band that she is with now and the band is her band. I feel Tarja was correct when she stated that the direction Nightwish was going was no longer her band. Floor has the ability to sing rock and opera and that is the direction Nightwish was looking to go. I feel that Floor is best for Nightwish and Tarja is much better where she is. Both are outstanding singers.

Annette was good, Tarja was an angel, but Floor.... Floor is an absolute Goddess up there. Such presence

I leak too listening this song, but quite in different moment.

Tarja is an amazing vocalist, but Floor is what Nightwish needed. She has such an incredible voice. It was like Tarja was too much, Annette was too little, but Floor is a perfect medium.

Another incredible thing to note about how this band commands the stage: That orchestral intermezzo may be "the place where not much happens," but consider that you have, at that venue, a crowd estimated at 82,000 totally amped-up metalheads who came to headbang--- who are so totally mesmerized by the atmosphere this song creates that they are quelled into near absolute silence for nearly a minute, content to listen to a pre-recorded backing track of the London Philharmonic Orchestra with the band not even on stage! You could have heard crickets chirping were it not for the orchestra! How else could you get 82,000 people anywhere to all simultaneously fall quiet for the same 60 seconds? Amazing. :)

Brilliant Jim, thanks :) Didn't want you to never go back and listen to the song with Floor since you already did a review. Hope it was worth the extra hour's work!

Loved your reaction to this song... I agree with almost everything you said, and yes, for this song I pretty much prefer Floor over Tarja also. And I don't participate in the debate over who is best between this two amazing singers, because to me is just ridiculous talk. I love them both 😁

I saw Nightwish live at Wembley. This and The Greatest show on Earth were absolute highlights and truly amazing to experience live.

Jim, what I really like about your videos is that you don't really need to speak, I can just watch your reactions, and it's all written there. You truly enjoy and feel the music. Thanks!

Both Tarja and Annette are brilliant singers, but Floor just well fits so amazingly with the band, they really struck gold with her.

In the opening show of their 2018 Decades tour, when Floor hit that high note at the end of the last vocal segment, Emppu walked across the stage to give her a fist bump. There is no doubt in my mind that the band is far more connected with Floor than they ever were with Tarja. I refuse to takes sides in the debate - I love both singers.

@Max_Griswald

I watched a lot of Nightwish before Floor joined, and it really felt like Tarja had a connection with Emppu and Marko. Even on the prior video with Tarja singing GLS her and Emppu walk off the stage for the intermission with their arms around each other. That is why it hurt so much when Tarja was fired, because it came out of the blue for us fans, in my opinion.

Floor Jansen, who also had opera voice training, by the way, was for more than ten years the lead singer in After Forever. A short while before she joined Nightwish as an emergency stand-in for Anete who left the band midway throug a tour (here in Wacken Floor wasn't officially part of Nightwish yet) she started her own band called ReVamp. The rest, as they say, is history... End Of An Era was recorded end 2005, nine years prior to Wacken.

Great video i like the comparison part very unique and creative !

And we still got haters trash talking her. A woman that simply stole for herself the masterpiece of Nightwish. You can't listen to this and get back to the original anymore.

Very nice, Jim! I've been into Nightwish since the beginning and Floor brings so much more versatility. She's a perfect fit with the band. Maybe do Planet Hell some time with all 3 singers, seperately. It's a much shorter song and there are quality live versions of Tarja, Annette, and Floor for this song. Keep up the great reactions.

Hi Jim!! I'm so glad you decided to do both versions of the song! Like you propably noticed, you could not pick a worse song to see Tarja in action, heh😂... I was also like NOOOO!!! when I saw that you have done Tarja version of it becouse, eventough to me Nightwish will more or less always be with Tarja as their singer but with this song especially there is so much more in it with Floor! When Tarja's walking away of stage, Floor just getting started, and delivers her FLOORGASM at the end. That's so great. And there is something in Tarjas live performances that dont work on me that well and I more like the music videos and recordings with her!! Ofcourse there is exceptions also like "Phantom of the opera"!! But it was pretty nice that you got to compare these two singers like this and definitely you should check more Tarja and Anette as well (like song called "Bye bye beautiful") in the future and I think you don't get so strong reaction on comments with any other song when you choose the "wrong" singer!!

Been listening to rock music since Paranoid & Fireball, I was never really into Nightwish as I thought the singer was a bit "posh" for the music. However since Floor joined them I can't stop listening to Nightwish she has to be one of the best vocalists I've ever heard and what a stage presence, I am looking forward to the gig in Manchester this December.

Floor has angelic and ethereal qualities compared to Tarja. She is such a powerful singer I'm just in awe of her, I just get cold shivers all over when she hit's those notes.

@Aurinkohirvi

Tarja often stays with opera singing which is cleaner and stronger than rock singing which is softer and warmer. Easy to hear for example listening both singing "Sleeping Sun". Floor's singing is softer while Tarja's is cleaner. Matter of opinion which is "angelic". But if it softer, then it is Floor's.

All Nightwish singers are awesome great great band.

Thank you for doing this ! Even better because we agree! Loved Tarja era, but there is no comparison to what Floor can do on stage! Studio versions do not do her justice! That said, there's still a bunch of songs from their earlier albums that Tarja owns brilliantly for me! Dear boys poem, and come cover me, two beautiful songs lovely sang by Floor on the decades tour ongoing, but that with Tarja have a whole different depth..so there is space for every fan to enjoy their music, everybody should stop with the hatred comments and just enjoy!

Both incredible vocalists. Tarja’s performance seems to be more operatic and theatrical. She is classically trained and has a very unique distinction as to the fact that she is able to sing perfectly in three octaves. That is nearly unheard of. Floor is much smoother and her voice is more tone defined for this particular song - which as you mentioned is epic. I reckon Tarja has the natural pipes overall. Raw talent. Floor I believe has a voice perhaps more suited for this particular genre of music. Attitude also plays a role in their respective performances. While Tarja is more subtle, Floor is right there in your face. Strong! Its a toss up but if having to choose my nod goes Floor’s way.

Just mystical!!! More Nightwish PLEASE! \m/

Goddess. Plain and simple. She even looks a bit like Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman, standing there belting her soul out with 100K people screaming for her.

This never gets old. Juuka grooving on his TAMA double-base set, Emppu driving the rhythm in his signature ESP EV-1, Marko giving us epic base lines in his Warwick Buzzard, Tuomas sharing his genius on his KORGs and Floor leading the crowd like a modern-day 6-foot 1-inch Valkyrie and seducing like a siren. They are all at the top of the talent tree. Each one alone could lead a band into greatness let alone all five of them. One of the best live performances of all time. Not only musically but staging and production is unmatched. By the way, "the bid that not much happens" is done by the London Orchestra and it is a great piece of composition. Every little aspect of this song (or any Nightwish song) is though of to perfection.

floor has the gift of both vocals. I cry every time i hear this. Its incredible

Eu amo a Tarja, acho ela uma cantora excepcional, mas a interpretação que a Floor deu a essa canção, é algo que eu não consigo explicar, é muita presença de palco e sentimento envolvido. A Floor renasceu o Nightwish.

As a native Finnish, I of course prefer Tarja, but when there is a Dutch Queen called Floor, I must admit She is on the high level of her own, and today no other can reach that high. with Her.

I think You discovered something incredible there with that duet!

Loved the comparisons between the to plus the side by side. It is worth mentioning that Floor started out as a classically trained soprano. Then went it to Metal she could have done a complete copy of Tarja but made the song her own put her own stamp on it and the songs all the better for it. There are still tickets left for Nightwish at Manchester Area in December Not sure what tickets are like for the O2 and Birmingham. I'll be there worshiping the genius of Nightwish

Dude, you are gold.

It's like Floor respects the music more... Taraja's voice is great don't mistake me, but Floor's discapline elevates the entire song.

Nice to have you back and reacting to my favourite band! I know you've mentioned in the past that you wanted to step back from Babymetal, but now would be the best time as they've just released a brand new song today and it's amazing! It's called Distortion.

Funny to see that it only took you exactly 23 seconds of Floor (3:02) to jump to the right conclusion :-) Tarja is great, Floor out of this world :-D

💜💜Nightwish 💜💜 Floor 💜💜

Just a note, one of Tuomas' keyboards is a MIDI controller, he actually has changed up how some of their songs sound live. A good example here is the piano part during the verse in the Tarja version, it's completely different now.

Floor`s voice is utter perfection!!

Floor just kills it. I've seen them play this live and she's just amazing.

I came to witness the Floorgasm!

Floor had been the band 9 months at this recording. She wasn't even a member yet! She was still a fill in to finish the tour. She had been at wacken with her own band but not in front of 82,000 people and recording this DVD. She said she was nervous. Does she look nervous? Tarja has a killer voice, but it all comes out operatic. Floor can sing opera, pop, rock. She's very much loved by us fans.Her husband is the drummer for Sabaton, if you know who they are. Watch the song Ameranth at this concert if you want to see how floor commands the stage.

Неймовірно гарна композиція! Моя реакція на неї,дуже схожа на Вашу.:-) Дякую!

I think you nailed it. On the other hand, I'd like to see a comparison of them both singing Bellini.

Hey Jim really nice videos. Nightwish is still my favorite band. Check out the Song "It's Over" by Nemesea also a great band. Greetings from switzerland :)

you're too good to us!

I am a Nighwish fan since 1997, and every one of the three singers brought something into the band. What I love in Floor is how versatile her voice is and how much stage presence and charisma she is bringing with her. I loved Tarja, but was never completely happy with her live performance, Floor I prefer live because you feel the energy she has. I suggest Kamelot "Insomnia" or "Liar Liar (Wasteland Monarchy)" for another reaction video and from Epica "the essence of silence".

I don't like to compare singers, all singers have their unique sounding. But I need to say that Floor has wider vocal range and abilities. She has strong singing voice, which she can turn into lyrical and softer tone (that is awesome to hear changes), as well on higher notes she puts so much power and that's why sound gets that needed "aggression"and richness. She can pull of with ease operatic stuff too and that is good for older songs ( OK Tarja operatic voice has more unique and more trained tone). For the end I like that Floor is not trying to force the operatic style on every NW song and plus she is the first female growler on NW. Forgot to mention, that when Floor sings then I better can understand lyrics. Tarja use lyrical voice (smooth voice) and operatic voice (which by the way is amazing), but on higher notes she lose the power of the sound (if she use smooth voice) so she usually on higher notes use her operatic voice. But that is only my opinion.

That mash up was awesome actually. What happened to your NW rxns?

Absolutely incredible audio, like nothing I've ever heard before, has to be state of the art shit. Yes technology has improved a lot! But technology doesn't explain Floor, I've been listening to live Rock and Roll since Deep Purples first US tour, I don't have any problems with saying that Floor Jansen is the best female metal vocalist I've ever heard. And, just to throw in on the who's better shit: Tarja is amazing and she's the first ever fully trained operatic voice in R&R. That said, she has that brittle soprano thing going, love her anyway!

Son las dos terriblemte talentosas !!!

Floor Jansen made Nightwish perfect :)

I would live to see you react to My Walden from the Tampere show. It's different from the Nightwish songs you have done so far. :)

Floor pretty much owns anything she wants to take. This is her song now. Nothing wrong with Tarja at all, she is just not in the same class,. A vocal dragon, and a canary.

Very neat and pleasant comparison! There can be only one Floor Jansen, as we see when we listen to recent homage covers. Some are VERY good, but the combination of gentleness, versatility and powerrr naturally is rare.

Tarja and Floor knew and like each other. They've even sang together.

Floor is by far the best, a true phenomena.

More Nightwish please!! Especially Romanticide from Wacken 2013

something you might want to look for is that there is a video out of Tarja and Floor doing a live duet together and it is major epic.

"Better be good" Can it even be no good with Floor?

Jim, if you want to do a good comparison of Tarja and Floor, take a look at both of them covering Phantom of the Opera. Tarja's cover is well known, but Floor has attempted it also, just not with Nightwish, and there are videos of it here on youtube. If you do this you'll see the true contrast between Floor and Tarja's voice and booth of their strengths and weakness. Yes, Floor is a good rock singer and can perhaps belt with the best of them, but when it comes to have a great head voice with plenty of power and range, you'll see the difference in Phantom of the Opera.

In this song, Floor's version made for the live DVD, was much more professionally arranged than Tarja's version, where she walks around the stage with the mic. Tarja's studio version is far better than her live version. So... sure you can compare two live versions. But it just compares the two live versions. I prefer Floor's in thhis case like I said long ago.

Heheh,.. loved to see how the grin on your face got bigger and bigger and bigger... 😁 Old time Nightwish fan here. Loved Tarja, liked Anette, really dig Floor deeply. They all had and have their own qualities. In my opinion Floor fits Nightwish the best. I love the way how she adapts the style of singing to fit different parts of a song or score.

It's so cool to be able to watch someone else enjoy the music that you also enjoy. Tarja was the singer when i fell in love with Nightwish but they are both amazing singers. Anette made a great contribution aswell. Floor is the icing on the cake for me though. :)

Tarja was and is an amazing singer but in my opinion Floor can do everything Tarja can and everything she cannot. Floor in my opinion is the greatest singer in the world at this time. I've seen Nightwish 6 times and she can repeat every song, every time with perfect pitch, power and clarity. She doesnt ever take a note off.

Thanks Jim........And that is what you call a Floorgasm! Really thank you for taking time out of your day to do this.It was really kind of you. :-) Not a fool....You would not know because they are new to you,

Phantom of the Opera live end of era please

Im a bit late to the party on this one, mind you I only got into Nightwish around 10 mths ago. Saw your reaction of their epic re imagining of PF's High hopes and hadn't realised you had done back to back reactions to GLS. My personal opinion is that since Floor joined NW have been able to do epic re imaginings of their own back catalogue.

Nightwish wouldn't exist without Tarja, and I loved Annette, but Floor (and Troy) have taken them to the big leagues. What a voice!

floor espectacular¡¡¡¡¡ SUPER¡¡¡¡ VOCALISTA FANTASTICA¡¡¡¡¡ NIGHTWISH....FOREVEEEERRR¡¡¡¡ DESDE BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA¡¡¡¡¡

Nice! Honestly I think Floor is superior in all songs. She's very natural, has a fluidity, a security that I do not feel in Tarja. I like her, but, I was already very fan of Floor in After Forever. Anyway, great video! :)

I like that you liked it, Tarja is awesome but Floor takes me to a journey when she sings this, and that end is orgasmic... now, i really really suggest you to listen to everdream at wacken as well, also stargazers at tampere and storyime and wacken, you won't be dissapointed.

I agree with you!

NIGHTWISH has been Blessed to have 3 incredible Primary Vocalists. Regarding this song, Tarja made an error in judgment in that she never really liked the song so she didn't give it 100%. Floor on the other hand always loved the song so she puts that 200% performance you hear and see. I have ban at concerts where groups of people become weak at the knees and faint as Floor delivers those big soaring vocals to this song.

Floor forever...

Floor IS THE BEST SINGER WITHOUT A DOUBT! Her beauty, stage presence and incredible voice make her the clear NUMBER 1!!!

Tarja hasn't been in the band since 2005 (I think that video was from her last show with Nightwish, actually), so yeah, a few years have passed between these two performances! I think Tarja was great, but live performances were a bit of a hit-and-miss with her, I feel. I prefer her in the studio more than live - she's wonderful on the albums. But Floor is solid in and out of the studio, it's insane.

I tend to agree, Tarja has her share of amazing live performances but I tend to prefer her in the studio as well. Floor's live performance on this one is incredible. More dynamic vocally. She gives it more of a rock vibe as opposed to Tarja's straight operatic approach. Both are good and I can enjoy both, especially when he played them side by side as a duet.

That was what my comment said. I love Floor's live versions! And sure Nightwish did them much better 2013 than 2005. See how Tarja moves all around the stage in her live version: no way to such a song! This Floor's version was made for the live DVD and is very well produced. Tarja's version was made for live DVD ase well, but not nearly as high production values. Some Tarja's AND Anette's studio versions are still my favorites, because unlike most rabid Floor fanbois say: no-one is best in everything.
