Hello Jami Nunes ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This song was performed in Wacken 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, and Marco Hietala, bassist and singer, in front of an 82K audience. 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. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] 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 [pronounced Tu-oh-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently 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. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and very recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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.

She has a pretty damn great, scary guttural metal growl too. And an oh-so-sultry jazz tone. And a classical opera tone good enough to sing along with professional opera singers 🥰

16:17 I have seen such facial expressions before, because I was in that crowd and we were all just blown away by her. For most of the people it was the first time, seeing Floor with Nightwish, because she joined the band during that tour. The expectations in the crowd were high, because we heard how great the South America Tour went, so she must be good, we thought. But when Floor came out, our mind simply got blown away and we all just fell in love. Oh, by the way, if you think this is a masterpiece, then you have heard nothing yet. Greets from Germany!

Amazing reaction. Nightwish is a crazy talented band and they have a lot of great songs and styles. I recommend Storytime (Wacken 2013) & Romanticide (Wacken 2013) doubleheader.

Welcome to the world of Nightwish, Jami. Every song is a masterpiece, and no two are alike. Tuomas, the keyboardist, is the greatest composer of my lifetime (IMHO) and on your journey, you would be wise to keep tissues nearby. He composes to touch your soul, and in the empathic singer, Floor, she delivers it directly with a bit of a punch. Her voice drips emotion, and his words are pure emotion. Being a pop singer, you might be interested in her performances of "Shallow" and "Let It Go," so you can see what her vocal mastery can do to pop songs. She transfers ownership of those songs to her, and the originals will never sound the same again. Her versatility will amaze you as you continue. Please don't get so caught up in her vocals that you miss the virtuosity of each of the players in the band, they are as brilliant on their instruments as she is with her voice. Also, pay attention to their relationships. They love each other so much, there is no ego in anything they do. They allow the others members to shine, making the whole a far better thing than it would be otherwise. I enjoyed your reaction ... found great pleasure in your discovery of this new world of music!

Hello Jami Nunes. Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. And they make Symphonic Metal. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion. Watch out for the Nightwish Army.

Floor has stated that "Ever Dream" is one of Nightwish's hardest songs to sing for her because of all the high notes.

You have a little resemblance of the Mati Klarwein's painting on Santana's album cover of "Abraxas" (girl and a bird, you see). Two Nightwish's legendary live performances in a row. It's almost too much but also great. Greetings from Finland! 😎👍

welcome to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band, their live performances are some of the things that come so close to epic that they get to be mythical and of course Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive). this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "romanticide" this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).

Welcome in the Nightwish Army, Floor is just the best singer i ever heard, every song of this band is amazing..... from the same show, Wacken 2013 : The last ride of the day, song of myself, storytime

Hi and welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole! I see you fell for them as fast and hard as I did back in the day. The peron behind the songwriting and arrangement of the music is the man on the keyboard. His name is Tuomas Holopainen and he is the mozart of metal. His music is so genius that the band has survived the loss of one drummer, one basist and two singers. Alot of bands couldn’t continue after all that. Their current singer is the woman you see and hear in this video. I’m not sure that she is human though. Sometimes I get the feeling that she actually from Asgard and has beamed down here the help us mortals through these troublesome times with her godlike voice and charisma. And i would love to hear you simg these masterpieces. But please be careful! You’re a mortal after all. 🙂

There's about 25 years worth of Nightwish to explore if you care. They have been around for quite a while, headlining big festivals (the Wacken audience was about 80.000 strong), but as a metal band, they are not known to the general audience.

Hi Jami Nunes, well while you practice to sing Ever Dream I want to welcome you to Nightwish rabbit hole. It is deep, band has long history and us Fans around the world are absolutely 100% behind this band. Now whatever song you pick from 2013 setlist, you can't go wrong. This was 1 of those concerts for sure(Just bummed I didn't see them live there)👀 Did catch them 2015 twice tho. Hope to see you react more to Floor's covers and this bands catalogue.

Floor, ‘we used to swim’. Viewer/listener, eyes go pop, jaw drops. You are not the first and will not be the last to be so Floored.

"The singing... what is that?" It's called Floor and yeah she's a goddess. Glad you found Nightwish. Your reaction was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Loved it ☮🙏❤

As a singer, you know why she is good. I just know that she is good, great, fantastic and wonderful. If this your first, just know that there is much more to hear. This only a small part of what is down the rabbit hole that you will enjoy.

Nightwish Army new recruit UK Division here reporting for duty 😊🙏👍. Heck I love watching peoples first reactions to Nightwish as it brings back the undescribable feelings and experience that I encountered around 6 months ago when I was pestered in to listening to "The Poet and the Pendulum" having never heard of either Nightwish or Floor befire and OMG. Down the rabbit hole I went and I havent surfaced busying myself absorbing everything from the Tarja, Annette eras and now the incomparable Floor. I want everyone to experience this. A beautiful reaction Jami to this masterpiece. Thank you. Paul 😊👍🙏

Welcome to Nightwish!..

I listened to the whole concert last night. 1 hr. and 38 mins. She sang almost an hour before they recorded Ghost Love Score. It was AWESOME!

This whole concert is magical!

Jami Nunes you are sincerely welcome to Nightwish world. I did like your genuine reaction. I hope we shall see again with Floor and Nightwish. All the best to you in your career. Greets from Finland . Take care

First time i heard Floor sing was at Wacken. I was sceptical to begin with, but i knew as soon as she opened her mouth Tuomas and the band had found a winner with Floor and the further the concert got n i was mezmerized and totally floored. Floor and Marko singing together their harmonies are impeccable. Ive been a Nightwish fan since the early days with Tarja and then Annette, but Floor blows both of them away with not only her vocal range but her stage presence and crowd interaction. Every member of Nightwish is so talented. Its just so sad we no longer get to see Jukka with his impeccable drumming and Marko with his amazing presence as bassist and his voice.

There are some people in this world who, at some point, has the luck to discover by chance symphonic metal. And then, they are in awe with Nightwish, Epica, Therion and some others, because that is something that was not expected or imaginable. Welcome Jami :-)

Floor is one of the greatest singers out there. Btw, I'd love seeing you reacting to Helloween. How Many Tears and Halloween from Wacken DVD are a good start and they have 3 singers on stage now (From different eras and albums). Bet you're gonna love it.

And she steals another soul

That's a good way to dip your toes into the rabbit hole of Nightwish. They've been around since 1996, so they have a lot of stuff for you to check out. Since you already seem like a fan, there's not really much to say. They have 9 studio albums and they've confirmed in a few interviews recently that they aim to complete the 10th one next year and release hopefully in 2024. All put together that's over a hundred songs already. They have a few mammoth pieces, three of them being Ghost Love Score, Poet and a Pendulum, and The Greatest Show On Earth. GLS is usually the entryway into Nightwish reactions, maybe you want to save those two other big ones for later (or not, who knows). This Wacken 2013 concert is very friendly to react to because the band was really on fire that night, plus they did a DVD live recording of it (called "Showtime, Storytime") so there are a lot of good clips of the songs available everywhere in YT. One thing to note is that any "high quality" versions of the Wacken 2013 Nightwish performances are potentially flawed. There was an error in the BR-DVD framerate conversion of Showtime, Storytime, which slowed down all of the songs in the BR version by a few percent. It's small enough that you won't hear anything wrong with it when first hearing a song, but all of the fans will be like what's up with this sounding so weird. Gabriel's list for example is a good place to find all of the good versions.

I was pretty sure you would like this. And I hope it cheers you up a bit after describing some of the housing annoyances you mentioned. As for further listening, long-time Nightwish fan and guru Gabriel should be along shortly, and he has the complete list of recommended songs with links. However, I could add one or two points. First, Floor has some solo efforts: covers, and her own self-written pieces. Both are excellent. For solo efforts to listen to, the most challenging one, if you really wanted to knock your vocal cords out ("please practice safe singing"), would be her cover of Lara Fabian's "Adagio", at kzread.info/dash/bejne/fY6Gqq6FfZmnhZc.html (almost impossible for amateur singers to sing). The common recommendation for her softer material is her cover of Lady GaGa's "Shallow", at kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2ps0sdtkcKfqs4.html. My favorite of the Nightwish songs is "Poet and the Pendulum", Live at Wembley 2016, but many Nightwish fans prefer the viewer to wait a bit before doing this one, and to research the background of the song first (I know Gabriel suggests this). I think most fans would recommend you do either "Storytime", or "Song of Myself" next, both at Wacken. Hope everything is going better in the apartment! Have a great week ...

Hi Jami, Michael from Australia here. Welcome to Nightwish. I discovered these guys (and girl) around when this performance you just saw. They are one of the greatest bands I've seen. Absolutely top in any arena. Glad you enjoyed them.

One of my all time favorite NightWish reactions!! 😀 You took me back to when I first discovered them at the very beginning of the pandemic. Ever since then they have been at the top of my list and I saw them in concert recently here in Denver and their show was as amazing as the video you just reacted to! I look forward to going on this journey with you and I'm happy to be a new subscriber!! By the way it does not hurt that you're such a beautiful young lady 😊. Much Love from Denver! ❤️🌎🎸🎶🎵

Welcome ! Nightwish Army Texas ! ❤️Awesome reaction ! It’s great to see your reaction, because it brings back my feelings the first time I heard the Awesomely Beautiful and Talented Floor and Nightwish ❤️👏🤘🤘

Great reaction. loved it. greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

btw. if you want her pure voice try the acoustic version of "how's the heart" from Planet Rock. Just Floor, Troy and a acoustic guitar.

Subscribed! Love your reaction. I will be on your journey of this rabbit hole that is Nightwish & Floor solo stuff.

WOHOO! Both GLS and Everdream in the same reaction! ❤️ Hope to see more of Nightwish from you!

Greetings from The Netherlands 👍👍

Greetings from Finland!😊

Hi Jami: I really liked your reaction!

Buckle up, you´re in for a ride 😁 Almost every song from Nightwish are that lvl. Enjoy!

Welcome to the wonderful World of Nightwish! Mind you this is just the beginning... there is a lot more to see. I see Gabriel has made his presence know (salut!), he is very modest about his list and what he does, but if you decide to continue down your Nightwish Journey there is no better guide. Get ready, seat belts on and tight... it's gonna be a ride! 🤘 Also I have to say... the little birdy is so, so cute! 😍 Hope to see more Nightwish from you, I'll be around, all the best and enjoy!

Poxa, parabéns pelo inglês fluente e perfeito! Quanto ao Nightwish, que banda incrível, né... eu sou do metal desde 1980, mas se tem uma coisa que eu me arrependo, for ter ignorado o Nightwish desde que a banda surgiu, por puro preconceito com vocal operístico - que era o caso da Tarja - apesar de continuar não gostando, e por causa disso ignorei completamente a entrada da Floor na banda, pq achava que era uma continuidade apenas. Minha escola é o NWOBHM e o thrash metal, mas alguns meses atrás finalmente resolvi dar uma chance ao Nightwish e fui assistir a um "video reaction" (como o seu) dessa obra prima chamada "Ghost Love Score". Desde então, virei um fã incondicional e passei a consumir tudo sobre o Nightwish... sempre há tempo para abandonar preconceitos, e descobrir o que não se sabe! Sucesso!

Basically, your face through about 80% of each song: 🤯 I've been a fan of Nightwish since 1998, when I heard their album "Oceanborn," which was followed 2 years later by one of the absolute masterpiece albums they put out "Wishmaster." I've had the sheer luck of being able to attend concerts with all three of the lead singers, and while all three have both their pros and cons, such as weird pronunciations by Tarja on some words and pitches, the inability to go to high head voice live with Annette because it strained her voice, and Floor's very rare missed pitches that she corrects within a microsecond but are given away by her snatching her hand to her ear monitor, Floor is by far, in my opinion, the best singer they've had (and probably will have). It is very much a case of the right person, with the right voice, with the right history, at the right time, in the right place, for Floor to have landed in Nightwish. She also picked up the setlist incredibly quickly (see the documentary "Please Learn The Setlist In 48 Hours"), and even during her first concert with the band, two days after the Denver Miracle. I point out your reaction because, as it happened, I was actually AT that concert after the Denver Miracle. Blind luck, circumstance, and visiting old college friends that had moved to the States from Canada, and a planned outing to see Nightwish ended up with me being there during Floor's first show, and my reaction mirrored yours. I usually get moving, headbang, throw up the horns, all that at metal concerts, but for that show alone, I was absolutely riveted in place on the floor, with this Valkyrie woman (she's as tall as I am, 6'1"!) howling, wailing, belting, growling out the songs and I was just there going "holy shit... this can't be real, but it is real, and this is the perfect singer for Nightwish!" The Denver Miracle itself was amazing, as it was the concert where Annette was taken to hospital with a severe flu and well worth watching the many mini-docs about it. Instead of cancelling, like the promoter wanted to, the band went on stage with a once-only setlist drawn up that the singers of the opening band, Kamelot, could perform with lyric sheets and having heard the songs off an iPod about 40 minutes before the lights went down. It was the only time since the Tarja era that "Over The Hills And Far Away" was performed live, because Elize Ryd, one of the singers of Kamelot, knew the song inside and out as it was the one she had auditioned to Nightwish with after End Of An Era (when Tarja was fired). As well, the crowd absolutely belted their hearts out, and even in the documentaries (fan made and as part of PLTSI48H), the energy of that concert was cosmic in scale. However, Wacken 2013 is, as they say in the sci-fi show Dr Who, a fixed point in time. There is pre-Wacken 2013, and post-Wacken 2013 in the Nightwish timeline. It was "the perfect concert," and remember, by the time Wacken 2013 rolled around, Floor was NOT YET a permanent member of Nightwish. But every song was perfect, every note was perfect, the board mix (which was the mix used for the DVD that all these videos come from) was engineered and mastered to absolute perfection by engineers and audio mastering specialists that knew exactly how and when to adjust... it was like Metallica in Moscow, or Queen at Wimbledon, or Jimmy Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner at the original Woodstock. It was a moment of musical perfection, and although I am not religious at all, some of my friends that have watched the whole concert start to finish have said that "it has the touch of God on it," it was THAT GOOD.

Awesome reaction!!! Our Valkyrie Goddess, the one and only Floor Jansen!!!

Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome to one of the most satisfying musical journeys you can take. This band is amazing and have so many great numbers, which can be very different. Floor Jansen can sing anything just about any way she wants and do it beautifully. I suggest starting with more live versions with Floor and branch from their to other lead singers, studio tracks, videos, side projects, etc.,. General Gabriel’s list of links is a great place to start. Sorry Jami… Floor got married to Hannes Van Dahl, the drummer for Sabaton a few years ago. They live a quiet life in rural Sweden with their daughter when not touring. Enjoy the ride!

What you just saw was a top 1% performance level on everyone involved. The vocals, the drums, the keyboards, etc. This band lineup is the perfect storm.

Nightwish Army (Arkansas) here. we're glad you like our Queen! Try storytime next. Everything from the Wacken (vah-ken) concert is good!

Fun fact: Floor is like 6' 1" barefoot as well as being the best singer in Metal.

Female metal singer, sure.

You have finally met *Floor Jansen*. You will know her from now on as the Dutch Valkyrie Goddess of the Nightwish Army, Honored Citizen of the Amazonians, Creator of all Floorgasms, Empress of Empathy, Commander of the Windmill Hurricane Society, and Undisputed Queen of Metal music.

Welcome to the Nightwish world of music and wonders

Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!!!!!! YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nightwish is a band you do Live, because that is how you show how good you really are.

One of the best 'reactions' I have seen ....... you didn't stop the vid every two minutes to TALK. ....... Good job.

This song has always been my Nightwish favorite and I am so happy to see it so often over the last few years and see it so appreciated. I remember how this song was liked but had always been in the shadows of other Nightwish songs. As I feel it, this song finally gets the attention and recognition it always had deserved.

Thank you from Germany for all the good music from Wacken near Hamburg and Nightwish + Floor Jansen! Was a beautiful show in Wacken with 82.000 Metalfans. And 2022 sold total out.

Damn, that is a cute bird. Great video. Keep it up.

That woman,that magical creature,is so magical that she doesn't even have to sing! And once she opens her mouth, you're gone.

Hello Jami. What a great double-song reaction to our beloved Nightwish. Thank you for reacting to this fantastic symphonic metal band and our Valkyrie Goddess, Floor Jansen. I highly recommend that you read all of Gabriel Bardac's comment and self-replies (where he includes links to many live Nightwish performances to react to). The Nightwish Army welcomes you. By the way, don't let that bird gnaw your fingers off.

Só pra deixar tudo ainda mais impressionante, Ghost Love Score foi a música 13/15

Jami! love your reactions and glad you fell in love with the band so hard! Sing your heart out and be your wonderful self. also your conure is super cute

Welcome to Nightwish. Enjoy your journey !

Definitely check out more Nightwish and Floor Jansen solo shows.

You just met Floor Jansen the third singer of Nightwish slaying it. And while this may sound strange you have only seen a small part of what she is capable of. There are a lot more different singing styles she mastered and can bring live. So it's a good thing the rest of the band is equally talented. There is a vast catalogue of awesome songs that are all distinct NW, yet all different. And best thing, they are better live than in the studio. Enjoy your journey into Tuomas poetry and music 🤘🏽

"FLOOR"'s ability to sing to you whatever she wants has always been impressive, she can literally sing any style of music and she does great on all vocal styles! you have many more songs to react to from that same concert, and if you want to get a bigger surprise from it you have to react to "nightwish - yours is an empty hope" in any of its 3 LIVE versions

haha the good news is there is soooo much more. Also the ayreon project might be something for you. One mastermind writing prog rock metal music for multiple singers including Floor. Harmonies, atmosphere and great voices without end and a good entry into many different bands. Look for The Day That the World breaks down. Arjen explains singers and ideas and choices throughout that song. It features 11 singers including Floor!

omg, yes, Arjen Lucassen has amazing musical projects! I'm sure Jami will enjoy them *-*

Loved your reaction! That was mine when I first heard them about 8-9 months ago. Just stunned beyond words. The entire band is amazing, and let's not overlook Marko's singing either, because he is too, but Floor is literally mesmerizing. You should react to some more of their songs, because every one will amaze you. Pretty much anything from this show, plus a few others - always live with this band, because they are better live than in studio. You should see them if you can. I saw them in May in NYC for the first time, and I am still trying to process. After months of watching reactions and videos on YT I was sure I was prepared for seeing them live. I was not. Greatest performance I have ever seen in my life. I look for ward to more!

I think "Holy crap, wouldja look at that!" perfectly encapsulates a first experience of Nightwish.

Nightwish - the GOAT musical experience ever! Floor is the best singer I have EVER hear & I have listened to everything over 60 yrs!

the best female singer that ever lived its taken me 57 years to find her!

🤩👌💥💯 Go ahead mi lady and sing both of them! 😁👍 Neat reaction. Keep on rockin with this magical band... 🤘😎🇫🇮💙

She got me too .This band became my favorite very quickly because the emotion I felt listening to them as a whole band not just the music. Not just Floor voice Its how it all comes together

It's worth getting to know more. The keyboard player is the heart of the band. It's worth listening to how Marco's and Floor's voices harmonize. It's a shame that marco left the band. All in all, a great band because of great singers and great musicians.

Nightwish army....welcome....her first floorgasm was just over 16 mins in...right when her eyes water up....great thank you

That is our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen. Yup. She is real. Hahahahaha. You just had multiple Floorgasms. This is a ride I need to go on. New sub here.

Hello Jami 🤗 Welcome to Nightwish and our Queen, Floor Jansen. By now you are realizing that this is no ordinary band, they can harness the power of music and ride it straight into your soul. The feelings that they can evoke are beyond description. Excellent reaction and much love from the Nightwish army in New York. See you at the bottom of the rabbit hole...

This was such a wonderful first time reaction to Nightwish, and a double feature as well. I'm glad you stuck to your guns with doing the live performances. All of Nightwish music is best viewed and listened to Live. New subscriber here, looking forward to your Nightwish journey from here on out. I'm so glad you fell in love with Floor and the entire stellar talented band. BTW, I love your bird. Cheers from Canada.
