I look at everyone's smile, from the band and from the audience: it's as if everyone is participating in a feast, with caviar and champagne. At the Wacken 2013 concert, only delicacies were served .. :) It's more than just "good", it's really delicious.

Very nicely put :) Wacken 2013 was the most amazing live gig. The energy, the production, the band and Floor were absolutely breathtaking. I tell you right now, I have never seen anything more jaw dropping from start to finish. The smiling captured that night really says it all.

Funnily enough, Floor covered Heart’s “Alone” during lockdown. It should be on her YT page. I still can’t carry a tune in a bucket, but enjoy your reactions and insights so much. Many thanks and much love.

Yes! Please analyse/react to her recent cover of “alone” - it would be awesome, since you know the original so well! Since you do that, you could not only look at her singing, but also how she’s chosen to change not only the singing, but also the musical score :D Please, please

Well comeback to Nightwish. I love your coments.

NIGHTWISH 🔥 💥 🤘 never disappoints you. They are super musicians, instrumental and the great voices. And they always tell you a little story. She has also sung beautiful COVERS during the Corona - Period in a studio at her HOME. AMAZING-SONGS 💕 Thank you for your sweet comment, always nice to hear. Love from the Netherlands ❤️🤍💙🇳🇱🙋🏼‍♀️

Your wonderful vocal technique commentary is exactly on point. These are many of the reasons that Floor is my favorite singer in all of rock music. She is the consummate professional. Such a dynamic and powerful, yet beautiful voice. Capable of every color of the rainbow, and few extra that only she can bring. Loved it John. Well done.

You appreciate their musical talents! Listen to Shoemaker from the Nightwish Human Nature album. You’ll appreciate it! (It’s a tribute to Eugene Shoemaker planetary geologist). Also, How’s the Heart, acoustic version on Planet Rock. Other live show songs include Dead Boys Poem in Beunos Aires, Greatest show on Earth at Tampere.

Yes to all of these! I especially would like to see a reaction and hear a technical analysis of How's the Heart acoustic version.

I loved hearing your analysis of my favorite singer. The first time I heard this woman's voice, I was in disbelief so much beauty, power and control. I love when others can see and hear it as well. I am 53 and have listened to and admired many wonderful vocalists in my day, but Floor is just perfection to my ears. Very cool man, Nightwish Army Georgia Division.

Welcome back to the rabbit hole. Has it really been a year ? All you need to do now is listen to Floor's recent cover of Alone to compare her with Heart's cover. Or maybe one of her songs on Beste Zangers, her version of Shallow ?

The King of Vocal Technique breakdown is back critiquing The Goddess.....Shes Been Waiting patiently for you !!!

Everything you say makes so much sense to me. I love you for that. After listening to Floor singing I noticed that everytime when she sings and holds the C (at the end, before she hits that last F for instance), that always does it for me. I don't know what happens, but it's like something soothing is warming my heart. ❤️😎

Seems like it has been a minute and a half since you last checked out Nightwish. I honestly don't remember if you've reacted to Ayreon yet, but his projects tend to feature many talented singers from the Metal genres, including Floor. They're usually a real treat for vocal technicians because you get to see multiple voice types and styles in every performance. The introduction to Ayreon is usually "The Day The World Breaks Down". However you can also pretty much choose any song from the Universe concert. The Day The World Breaks Down - kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXqpr62dot22obg.html Universe (Concert Playlist) - kzread.info/head/PLJGn3wi7b7b606GfoKAdOgm6rtX9OliRc Other people here can chime in and recommend specific songs. There's a guy I can't recall the name of who has a VERY particular way of holding his microphone, working it like he's in the studio (especially for the big notes). He uses his thumb as a way to control the distance to his mouth and will angle it to deal with plosives as well as move it up and away from him like a boom mic. He combines quiet/loud for some great dynamics. My suggestions for the Universe concert would be And The Druids Turned To Stone, Valley Of The Queens, or The Eye Of Ra.

Welcome back to Nightwish and Floor! We all are impressed by this great live performance and your professional analyzing performance. Well, maybe except "The White Hat Guy" on left of the audience. ⛄👍

Glad to see that back on Nightwish / Floor. Your are excellent in your spot on analysis of Floor's abilities. Have you done any of their newer ones from Human Nature? Like "Shoemaker" - the ending here is simply incredible, just like her techniques to do this difficult song. Or how about a double session.. 1. "How is the Heart" from the Album 2. The acoustic version of "How is the Heart" from Planet Rock Radio 2020 - only Floor and Troy. Troy called Floor's voice for Stratospheric - and that's pretty close to the truth. Phenomenal performance of Floor Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘

God does it feel good to see people who really understand about music analyzing (and enjoying) nightwish

YES! You are back on Nightwish. Love it! Love the videos, keep it rolling with some Nightwish!

Good analysis John in that same concert a song that is ever dream the singer Marko does a great job I hope we can listen to an analysis.

Holy shit, both you and another reaction channel I hold in high regard both reacting to this masterpiece at the same day. !!!

I love Nightwish since 10-11 years ago. Thanks for this vid

I'm a simple man. I see a Nightwish reaction and I click like.

Gotta tell ya, I've been waiting for you to return to this band for some time. Completely worth the wait. Thanks for this. The band IS tight and together with Floor they're awesome sauce.

Thank you for checking out Nightwish. Your analysis is always on point, and for us "lay people" you explain everything so clearly. Again, thank you.

This band is ultra talented, especially floor because all eyes are on her most of the time. Her stage presence is amazing.

Yep, she is soooo good 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Our beloved Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy What can't she do.? She can do anything when she sets her mind to it. HAIL Floor 😍😍😍

Look at the pause / still picture at 7:20. Look at every person in the picture, it's amazing. This picture says all about the atmosphere!

best female vocalist in the galaxy right now :)

So awesome, always. I also love how she can soften her voice at the end of the phrase or word at times, making it so smooth and pleasant to the ear. I don't what that is called but man she is a genius with her own voice. :)

Absolutely love your reactions. A great mix of pure appreciation and analysis.

Hi FYI Ann is on her solo tour she is in Seattle this weekend. She may have lost some of register but she still sounds great. Ann is 71 and still Beautiful. Floor Rocks and so do the guys..The Operactic part Anette had to use a choir but Floor told Tuomas that she could do it herself.Floor is Gorgeous especially when singing.

To believe this was her first ever live performance with the band, and she just owned every song, with her incredible ability.

Really enjoyed the reaction and the analysis! Floor is wonderful!

Great to see John looking at Nightwish again - was thinking about this when I saw his chat with Mike Goodrich a few months back, who had gone a bit further down the rabbit hole with them (particularly getting a chance to dig into Marko's voice) and has had a blast. Have really enjoyed listening to both men's insights, it's so interesting hearing such expert analysis. Thanks John!

Yes, do more Nightwish please, you are lit and I love your experience, keep it up. I sub and like🤘🏽🇳🇱

I believe the Charismatic Voice uses singing straws as well.

You do such a great job👍😁

The entire Wacken concert is magic...Jukka, my favorite drummer ever...he’s a beast!

Really great breakdown of Floors voice! You just don't hear a lot of vocalist nowadays that aren't auto tuned or they are just lip synching.... which is not what I go to concert for...I want to hear them live! Nightwish must have some geniuses on their staff mixing their concerts!!! You just don't hear a group that sounds this good in live performances! I think the only other artist that sounded great in concert was Elton John...before he was famous. I saw him before he was famous in my hometown of El Paso in the early 1970's ( pretty sure it was 1972...before "Rocket Man" had even been released! ) He was brilliant in concert! Thanks for the excellent reaction! Give "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" a listen. They have a live version and a music video with lyrics. It is really good! New subscriber also!

A thoroughly awesome reaction. Thank you.

Love your reactions both Educating and fun perfect mix thank you

Great reaction! I'd really like to see your breakdown of Floor's singing on How’s the Heart, acoustic version at Planet Rock, or Dead Boy's Poem in Buenos Aires.

Thanks for a great reaction! First time watching your channel and right at the gate you nailed it with the "Heart" comparison and not with the "usual" comparisons to bands which are not even on the same planet. Keep up with the good work! Regards from Finland!

Welcome back to nightwish missed you. That was a great reaction very interesting love your incites on this fabulous band thankyou.

Great review as always John; what sets you and few other reactors apart is that you not only react technically but also are able to connect emotionally to what you are listening…

I think it’s time for you to react to Shoemaker! Or Beste Zangers 2019 Vilja Lied

Hi, longtime Nightwish fan here. Words can't express what Floor means to this band. In my view (not everyone's, but mine) - she revived this band and elevated them to new levels. Many of us Tarja fans simply jumped ship when Annette joined. Not a knock on Annette, it just wasn't a good fit (for me and others, I realize Nightwish's popularity in terms of sales kept reaching new heights despite the transition to Annette). But for me Floor changed everything. She makes this band better than ever. She's so talented, so diverse, and she has such HEART for this music, for metal, for vocals. She lives for this spotlight and thrives in it. She is deserving of every accolade and it is so fun to witness the journey of others who are new to her. Particularly a vocal coach who can point out some of the technical aspects that many fans wouldn't have recognized otherwise. Thanks for that, Liked, and I am already Subscribed

That was excellent and informative reaction my good sir !!! I like to quote Henk Poort on this : Floor's voice hits you like a cruise missile 🤘😍🤘. This goes to my favorite reactions list !!!! Nuff Said !!! NWSU.

The pure joy smile speak volumes!

You should have a look at Ghost River from the same concert, wonderful interaction between Floor and Marco in that song.

Wow, I've forgotten how much I love your reactions because you give so much technical input too. Of course, I love her, I love them, and I appreciate the deep-dive into technique.

Very pro reaction many thanks from Finland!

Yay! Glad you did another Nightwish song. I hope you do more, you have such great insight. I think you would appreciate Ever Dream from the Wacken show, or if you want something more recent, Shoemaker (pls do a bit of research on that one). Or, the Greatest Show On Earth - and you will have hit the big three (after Ghost Love Score and Poet and the Pendulum)🤗

More Nightwish please ❤️

hi john, thanks for your great reactions, especially from sohyang, dimash, nightwish .... i like that you analyze and comment on the singers with your expertise, so that people like me have no idea about singing understand a lot better ... .. very interesting and entertaining ... take care, stay healthy and such a pleasant, nice fellow ... big hug from germany

I wish I could sing... so you could be my teacher!

Remember, she was a fill in singer for this tour. The fans here never heard her sing with Nightwish before. She stole all 82000 plus hearts in this show.

One of my favorite band. . And tarja was my favorite singer . .

Check out Ever Dream from the same concert. I saw somewhere that Floor mentioned it was one of the hardest songs prior to Human Nature being released. It starts than builds and builds until the end.

She's a magnificent vocal beastie 🤘

I think that you really check How's The Heart Acoustic Version, that performance its just amazing.

8:50 I can hear it now too, from E curving and bending it around into an O

Thanx

Thanks

Floor covered Alone a long time ago with her band After forever and last year during 'corona house arrest'. I would love a comparison analysis of the two versions.

I enjoyed your informative reaction a lot, you should react to Ever Dream to get more Floorgasm.

I'm a bit early but congrats on 100K subscribers dude!

If you haven't yet, I think it would be great to see your reaction to Ever Dream and Romanticide from the same concert. Both include Marco, the bassist, and each highlights his voice differently. He and floor harmonize amazingly. :) Thanks for your reaction. I like to sing and will check out more of your videos!

It's funny that you mentioned Ann Wilson... because... you should check Floor's youtube channel for her cover of Alone. :)

This is probably my favourite NW song, Floor is Flawless, she is our Valkyrie Goddess and I know no other singer with such a beautiful voice across any style of singing. NW are an amazing band and the Wacken Concert is one of the best live show recordings ever made (Until you hear the concerts on Vehicle of Spirit that is)

Finally Nightwish!!!

Conocí a Nightwish hace muchos años atrás, con tarja como cantante, aunque ella es genial, este grupo no me atraía mucho, casi ni pescaba a la banda en realidad, pero desde que escuche a esta cantante Floor Jansen, cambio todo mi gusto por este grupo, tiene una voz que es muy versátil y atractiva, bellísima y ocupa muchos tipos de voces y variantes en sus tonos lo que la hacen mas envolvente y ahora soy un fanático de este grupo....que vueltas da la vida, creo que Floor, sin desmerecer a las cantantes anteriores, siempre debió haber estado en esta banda, ella es genial, y creo que si ella hubiese estado desde un principio Nightwish sería otra cosa....Además ella como mujer es bellísima y lo que me vuelve loco es que es muy sensual y dama a la vez al estar en el escenario mezclando la delicadeza de la mujer en sus movimientos al bailar dándole ese toque especial y la ferocidad del metal, todo en uno, lo soñado.....

Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!

Thanks for your great reaction 😄👍🤘Nightwish rules!!❤❤🤘🤘 check more Nightwish and you notice that there is another ausumn singer in the band...clue; he plays base😁❤🤘

I love your reactions, but I like your analysis more, I'm sure you would love '' Dead boy's Poem '' live Buenos Aires by Nightwish ... a ballad where it shows its entire range, it is perhaps the most beautiful ballad of Nightwish, you have a lot of juice in there, since it uses its registry in a masterful way.

We need more nightwish and floor Jansen reaction please :)

Could you next React to Nightwish - Your Is an Empty Hope (Live in Mexico City) Please?

Some very fine melodic song writing here, on top of everything else...Floor is a monster.

Floor Jansen has a 4 part masterclass here on youtube. I betcha you'll find something to add to your next book. She takes it from the basic to full valkyrie mode.

Floor is amazing

My Queen Goddess is da Best!

Not sure if "flawless" (floorless) is a good word to use in the context of Nightwish 😉

Floor did an amazing job of incorporating the "best" elements of the vocal parts of these songs, whether originally sung by Tarja Turunen or, as in this case, Anette Olzon.. and then adding in her own nuances. In some cases the I miss some of the "edges" of the previous vocalists.. such as Tarja's Finnish accent.

Hey!!! Good reaction!!! Trust me bro. She's from another planet. Hahaha. Greettings from Argentina!!!!

Floor covers Kadawathas Agape. It's not Nightwish but it is quite new. It looks and sounds like a great vocal accomplishment. I'd love to hear a vocal coach analysis of this.

Please do analysis on Marko too... 😍

Not sure if you did "The greatest show on earth" a score ( 16 min) More Floor range and a tight band on display ( multi instruments) Live at Wembley kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6aB2dqeYtzHZag.html

I swear I here an octave higher harmonic on that last note Floor sings. Am I right?

Since you like Ann Wilson, you should listen to Floor’s cover of Alone. Just Floor & piano. Beautiful ❤️

You must check her Alone cover on Floor's channel :P

More Nightwish please. I would like to see you dig more into Marco's voice as well. I would recommend, The Islander and Kiss While Your Lips are Still Red. Both are best live, like pretty much any Nightwish song.

Nightwish - ever dream (wacken 2013) please Thank you

Absolutely right about her sound. Regardless of her great technique and range the sound, her tone, is gorgeous. She is also smart, she knows how to sing every note for the best effect. Her version of Shallow makes me cry almost instantly now, Gagas version, while good, never did.
