No other singer can do “Slow, Love, Slow” or “Scaretale” like her. It's a shame she only got one album of songs written for her voice, but you can really see what she's capable of there. She's good at drama, at emoting. Tarja could have never pulled those songs off, truth be told. Her main flaw was that she didn't have as wide an emotional range.

This is probably Nightwish’s most vocally punishing song. It is not suited to Annette’s voice so she made changes to suit her voice. Tarja and Floor can both handle this but Floor has more power and uses it to her advantage. I mean no disrespect to Annette. She did well on her two albums.

I hadn't seen the outfits that Annette had worn (or hadn't worn) while performing until you had mentioned it. I hadn't really sought out to see Annette performing live, when I had seen her on the video where all 3 vocalists had been shown singing those songs which really show you who can't quite do the songs justice (which IS the video we are commenting on of course) Annette does a few of the songs on DPP better than Tarja or Floor ever could, because they were written for her kind of vocals, a more "pop" type of vocal delivery, it's kinda how it would be better to ride a jetski for short trips in the water vs sometimes you would need to have a nice speedboat/yaught for a longer trip. If that sounds stupid sorry tonight is "vodka drinking night" for me. Floor and Tarja ARE the "yaught/speedboat" and Annette is the "jetski" BUT, we should all be glad that Annette had been there to keep Nightwish performing and putting out good music. Annette and Marco on "The islander" does sound mighty good, Annette did only some harmonizing along with Marco, BUT, she did do a great job on DPP. I'm sure that most do agree on that.

I get chills when listening to Floor.

The song is amazing period. But Floor singing it gives the vibe of "didn't know a piece was missing until we found it". Takes it from one of the best metal songs ever, to simply one of the best songs ever.

I'm in a wierd position when it comes to the different vocalists! I mean, Tarja is the one we all "Old" Nightwish-fans fell in love with in the beginning with the most epic album in that time period (My opinion), 'End of an Era'. Then Annette came along and made my favourite album, Dark Passion Play. And then it was Floor who just wipes the two before her to dust in live performance! So everyone has their pros and cons, but i think the band we all love so much has found their voice and for that, i am forever grateful, because that means I have the chance to see them live before they quit! :D

She was sick, exhausted and psychologically affected by the shenanigans between her and the boys. If you want to compare live concerts with Tarja, both "From Wishes to Eternity" and the "Summer Breeze Festival" are more epic than "End of an Era".

I like Annette, and I feel she is a good singer, but her voice isn't meant for songs like this! I feel they shouldn't have even performed these songs when they had Annette. I mean, it's like asking Tarja to sing pop. It just won't sound good! However, Annette really owned the songs which were written for her: Poet and the Pendulum, guys!? Annette had a different style, I don't think she deserves all this hate just because she didn't fit well into Nightwish's sound. Do I even need to talk about Floor? My mind is blown. The epicness of that ending just made me stop breathing for a minute and think of the world, earth and everything else. This is a singer who goes SO well with the band!

Indeed. I fell in love with NW in 2004, Tarja was fired in 2005, I waa SOOOOOO gutted. I had a lot of hope for the following singer but while I loved the songs I just didn't like Anette's voice. Impossible to enjoy the magnificence of NW at that time. I bought the Wacken show a few years ago, I had forgotten about NW at that point and BAM, massive surprise, new singer, hope was back. I literally cried hearing the first song of the show with Floor. So yes, it was an intense feeling to be able to be in awe again, I feel so lucky to have discovered Nightwish twice!

Basically all say the same, that Anette was great with her songs and had difficulty reaching the vocal quality of the earlier songs for Tarja, who is a wonderful singer. Just Floor can perform all of them and more, even adding her own style and even more so enhancing songs written before she joined. That makes her one of a kind and so outstandingly awesome. Tarja has a great voice and talent, Anette also with a different nice voice of a lighter color and she made a lot of effort, now Floor has the most versatile and super great voice and style, and she worked so hard to "not screw up" the songs she loved, that she now owns them all. This story of Nightwish also gives hope, shows that never giving up in a crisis, which started with Tarja leaving, daring to go new ways will not only help to go on, but in the end all can become better than before. Nightwish and Floor found each-other, and now so many feel it is as if they have always belonged together.

yep only a garbage human being would do captions like that, definitely not a channel worth any more of my time

I love that each singer has their own spin on the song. Each singer was absolutely fabulous!

I didn't even know Anette existed...I thought once Tarja was gone it was never going to be as good so I stuck with the old songs. I liken the situation to this, when Christian Alvestam left Scar Symmetry...they had to replace him with TWO guys. That is how epic some vocalists are. Floor had some big shoes to fill...and she absolutely owned it, and I will say, out shines even the best of Tarja. She has the soul for this music and is absolutely perfect for Nightwish. Forget Mozart...I'm glad I was around to hear Floor sing Ghost Love Score!

Thanks Dude! I wasnt up to date the last years, just listened to the cds. Never heard Anette live. But since i heard Floor is singing for Nightwish ... =) You really pointed it out: - Tarja "left the stage" - Anette "is still trying her best" - and Floor ... well ... she fits perfect. I never had so much fun listening to Nightwish. And i know (everybody can see it) the band fucking knows what they just got. Look at them in ghost love score. They all seem to have fun (again?).

They need to tour with Tarja and Floor singing harmonies. That would be the ultimate Nightwish lineup.

Duett? There are some Mixed Videos out there but... ... the only real one as i know was Tarja Turunen & Floor Jansen 'Over the hills' at Wieze in Belgium 20/10/13 Have a look: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2uL1bCSedfIg7g.html or: kzread.info/dash/bejne/inurz7Okj8Wofso.html

Thanks for making this.

To people saying this is an unfair comparison because Anettes version was filmed with a cellphone. I can find a unedited clip from a cellphone with Floor that is even better than Floors version here (not as good quality of course) better performed.

Great video! Thanks! Floorgasm!

4 years of this video and I can't get enough of it!!!

I'd say that Tarja has an amazing Opera voice, Anette has a very good poppy kind of voice, and then there's Floor who just has EVERYTHING!!!!!

With Floor, Nightwish is back to awesomeness. Appreciate it!

Multiple "Floorgasm's!!!!" Well done!

another Floorgasm, yet another and one more beautiful than the other, Its magical 😍😍😍, and Emppu face during this is fantastic 😂

LLS Photography, thanks so much for putting this compassion together.

You sir, deserve an Oscar for cut, mixing and another one for your comments (which made me laugh)! Good work, keep going!

Past is past. Floor for the WIN.

Floor is absolutely the best in my opinion, but the other two videos weren't the best quality as far as audio goes(in defense of Annette). that being said, I think Nightwish has the best vocalist for their sound now with Floor. she is absolutely phenomenal.

Tarja my favourite!!

I always loved Tarja, but to be very honest, if I hear her now I find her voice a bit annoying. Don't get me wrong, she is a fantastic singer, but it all sounds the same to me. Especially compared to Floor, I love her voice, I love her range, I love how she can sing in different ways. And she totally rocks the stage. I wasn't a big Nightwish fan anymore when Annette joined, sweet girl and a nice voice, but no Nightwish material. Now that Floor joined she made me fall in love with Nightwish all over again, even more than the Nightwish with Tarja back then.

I have the same opinion! Floor is so much more versatile, flourishes every verse and takes all Nightwish song to herself, making her interpretation so much more convincing. Plus, she has an amazing stage presence!

I choose Floor bc of her ability to use both chest voice and head voice perfectly. Tarja and Anette are doing an awesome job too.

Great mash up, I also noticed that the band shows more energy with Floor and it looks like they have more fun with it too.

Good you noticed that, that was always my opinion too. I watched quite a few of their documentaries and Floor really seems one of the guys with no diva behaviour. Towards the end of the Tarja stage apparently she wasn’t ever bothered to show up for rehearsals anymore. That was one of the biggest issues that they made public. She had become a Diva putting herself above the band. Their breakup was very emotional for especially Tuomas. Hè wrote the Pendulum piece about his pain breaking up.

The little vocal parts Annette and Floor do at the end makes complete sense for the song. In the original, the last couple of notes for the vocals move upward, implying that something should come after, but there's nothing. Anette's isn't wonderful, though I appreciate her trying to capitalize on the moment and do something to relieve that tension. Floor's is, obviously, masterful.

Floor is Amazing 👌

Awesome video, love Floor so much !

Hats off to whoever made this video.

floor is the best singer's nightwish she can make all style with her voice, she is the best ! long life to floor jansen!!!

Emppu Vuorinen really, really smiling with the floorgasm!!!

Jajaja .sorry 😅

I was present at two of these three shows (Lowlands & Hartwall)! 😍

Das Lied hat meiner Meinung nach deutlich mehr Charakter, wenn Floor es singt.

So Anette's not a bad singer, but changing the rhythm of a song just for the hell of it can be annoying for diehard fans (of the song) like me :P. Btw there are no regrets from me about Nightwish. Both former singers made awesome music, but Floor has done an incredible job of revitalising the old classics that were never the same once Tarja left. I for one am immensely happy and believe that Floor could allow Nightwish to surpass their awesomeness this time round.

Even when taking the unfair comparison (phone recording Anette) into account, it's quite clear, in my opinion Floor's version the best by far. The song is EPIC as hell, and her vocals definately support that epic glorious bombastic feeling the best. I mean come on, Floor's killing it! You can just tell she really feels the song and makes it her own and that, only after a couple months. It's a sign of good things to come. This is my ultimate Nightwish moment, it almost gets tears in my eyes. Call me a sissy, I don't care :) Can't wait to see Floor with Nightwish in NL/BE and I'm very proud to have a dutchy singing in one of the biggest symphonic metalbands on the planet. Will see her with her band Revamp this january though, woo!!!

Never was a huge fan of anette tbh, but tarja has such a nice and clean voice, and floor has such a powerful and touching voice. Love this video!

As much as I appreciated Tarja's singing (I mean, dayum son!), the only one that I actually care for is Floor. I remember her voice and power moving me in the After Forever days and what-if'ing about her somehow becoming lead for Nightwish. Strange how the universe made that actually come true. But I am sure glad that it did.

OMG, i liked this video when i saw only Floor singing that part of it

I think during the Annette era fans somewhat, reasonably, hoped or even expected Tarja's imminent return. Now that Nightwish have Floor Jansen I think that door has been officially closed.

Tell everything you want but for me Tarja and her voice in Nightwish is unreplecable. This song won't sound good without her. Of course Anette and Floor have got a beauty and power in their voices but for me to the first five albums fits only Tarja's voice. This albums ware made especially for her. I'll miss her forever. Nightwish became different since she had left. Of course still was and is fantastic band but... For me the previouses albums with Tarja indeed are the most dark, and truly gothic. Her opera-sound voice always send shivers down my spine,

One Floor to rule them all

Anette without a doubt is a refined singer, but her voice just can't stand up to the thunder this music requires. Tarja, so artful and intense, beautiful. Floor? Thunder, passion⁵, refinement, art of singing from here to kingdom come… Just so bloody perfect!

Mmm... I don't think so...

All you need to do is watch the band. The energy Floor injects into the performance is infectious. Not only that, Tarja and Anette have recorded chorus behind them at the end. Floor carries the entire song, without the recording, until the end. The song may have been written for Tarja, and she always did it well, but Floor has made this her song, hands down. It's her signature song for NW now.

One other thing I noticed about the performances. Notice how Floor rules the stage from the center. Watching any number of videos with her and NW I can count on one hand the number of times she moves more than 3 steps from the center. This allows the band to be the band. She is rock steady and still pulls the audience in.

@FrozenRose816

@@titus02906 That's also part of her vocal technique too. She stays grounded to give herself the correct breath support to pull off those spectacular notes like the ending of GLH. It's a big reason why she sounds as good as she does, she's not wasting breath and physical energy running around but putting it all into delivering the songs well.

All three are great but tarja has the magic 🪄

🧡Floor🧡🤘

When I first heard this song with Tarja I didn't think it could get any better. Than I recently heard the version with Floor and I was stunned, because it was the best version of the song I had ever head. Tarja is a brilliant singer but I think Floors voice is more versatile/powerful than hers. Floor has always been my favourite metalsinger. Than for Annette she's a good singer but I don't think her voice is for this song.

Tarja forever 💞💖😘

This song is so special to me. I takes me right back to 2005 and playing World of Warcraft like it was my job. Excellent memories, wouldn't trade them for anything.

Im sure now that in the past,without nightwish knowing it the songs were written for this present time frame with Floor, and everything is working out now, Tarja is a marvelous artist, but she wasnt always there with her heart. Now it is a perfect mix with arrangement instruments and an angel voice . Thank you Nightwish, for your gifts to this world

Floorgasm! Floor is the best that has happened to this band, ever!

All three singers are awesome. I agree that Annette's voice didn't fit in Nightwish, but that doesn't mean she's a bad singer. Tarja was quite good, but I never loved her bel-canto-only style. And, well, Floor Jansen is simply amazing. A very complete singer, perfect for Nightwish. I'm sad, though, 'cause this could mean that there might never be an After Forever reunion.
