"She used every part of her voice." Actually, there's lots left in the toolbox you have yet to hear. She has only given a hint at distortion in these two songs. She can get much heavier with the distortion, plus vocal fry and false cord growls. Then there's her ability to sing in different languages, which requires an awareness of where vowels are placed. So far she has sung in eight languages (speaking four, plus a bit of the fifth). The sheer variety of genres she can manage is something else. We haven't yet talked about vocal agility. Just when we think we have heard everything, she'll pull something new out of the toolbox. Have fun exploring . . .

This one is from the 2nd lead singer Anette Olzon era. Every song at this show was written for one of the first 2 singers. The operatic part was originally done with a choir, as that vocal style isn't in Anettte's wheelhouse, she has more of a pop/rock style. Floor took over those parts when she joined. She added to most of the songs and made them her own. Primary songwriter, Tuomas Holopainen, likes themes of stories andchildhood innocence. He's also a fan of composer Hans Zimmer, and Disney. This Wacken show is an iconic performance, and a great gateway to their music. More from this show to try, Romanticide, Song of Myself, Everdream, and Ghost River.

It's going to be hard for you to choose between Romanticide and Ever Dream next. Romanticide has a bigger "holy crap" moment. But Ever Dream from a technical Singing perspective...the fact that Floor herself calls it the most difficult Nightwish song to sing tells you all you need to know about it. You can't go wrong with either.

I think now might be a good time to dip into Beste Zangers, a Dutch music show where the singers sing songs that are special to the other singers on the show….Floor sings in multiple languages in multiple styles, really, trust me, you need to see this….

This song was written for the second singer of Nightwish, Anette, and she couldn’t sing operatic. So the choir did those pieces of music in this song. But when Floor joined the band she decided to sing these parts herself. And she does this on other tracks as well, like the Poet and the Pendulum and Song of Myself.

So glad you finally got to hear Floor. She can sing like an angel, growl like a heavy metal beast, and everything in between. And in several languages. She's one of the best.

To give you some background on this song: Storytime was written for Anette,, Nightwish ‘s second lead singer and Floor‘s predecessor. Anette is a pop singer and not classically trained. So in the part of the song where Floor is singing classical, there is a children’s choir on the backing track. Anette did not sing during that part in the original version of the song. Floor sings this part at the pitch of the children’s choir, because she can…

Excellent reaction, do not worry you never heard of Floor and Nightwish before. Although she is Dutch most of us Dutch people heard of here either up to 2019 (!) When she performed in a Beste Zangers show, doing classical music (Vilja Lied). Turned Spanish Salsa into metal/salsa. Did Shallow (Lady Gaga) with her own twist and last but not least Phantom of the Opera with the original Dutch Phantom. She blew everyone away. It kick started a series of youtube covers, her own show and now even her own (self written) album... All the while raising a daughter, last year battling breastcancer and recently touring Asia, very pregnant of her second child after releasing her Album. I think she is the epitomy of a powerhouse and a lighting beacon for young women you can have it all.

Such a great reaction. Yes, sing whatever styles you need to express yourself. Telling stories and using dynamics to keep the audience hooked. When I saw Nightwish with Floor, the whole place when crazy. She is soooo good, it's unfair really. Goosebumps city for me, always.

Floor has only shown you about 25-30%, she can do anything vocally that she chooses. I love strong vocals, of all kinds, and Floor is just amazing.

My favorite Nightwish song. Fell in love with them due to watching reactions of this performance and then had to go see them live - and i will say - yes, they are overwhelming in person. Floor was stunning to hear in person. I couldn't even make sense of it in my head, but a few times I was pretty sure she didn't need a mic. The chorus in this song is one of my all-time favorites of any song. It's so beautiful; I love the cries, coming down at the end of the phrases to the lowest note. Also the energy - both from the crowd and them on stage. When watching this, I alway feel like those 3 girls towards the end - literally having the time of their lives. Would have loved to have seen theis show. It's a contender for when I perfect my time machine. Happily waiting for more Nightwish reactions. I don't even need to suggest any. They are all good.

Floor's accuracy is superhuman. Ask her for an A, and she can just belt out a perfect A440, no hunting required. (And hold it for 6 or 8 seconds, add some vibrato, and slide to wherever else she feels like going.) "Storytime" and "Ever Dream", in particular, really show off this remarkable ability. Any sound engineer with autotune should just leave it off - or maybe use Floor to calibrate it.

And wait til you hear her growl with Marko! "Yours Is An Empty Hope"

Hi Katie, greetings from UK That was another great reaction, thank you 😊 Please don't be concerned about pausing, we are used to people doing that in order to give their thoughts and we really enjoy hearing what people think of the music and singing, especially technical explanations like yours. The song "Ever Dream" is my best guess for your next reaction. You will hear Marko the bassist sing a couple of lines. He also has a terrific voice and was the main singer in the bands he was in before joining Nightwish. He and Floor are often singing together in Nightwish songs

Katie, once again, you put a smile on my face! Loved every bit of your reaction! And just to let you know, that vocal riffing, you called it? That vocal improvisation? Not in the original studio recording, or in any performance Annette Olzon ever sang, for Storytime. Floor did that on her own, and did it because she could -- and in doing so, made Storytime her own, just like she made Ghost Love Score her own, since Ghost Love Score was originally written for Tarja Tarunen, Nightwish's first vocalist. Edit: Katie, I think you're ready for your first true heavy metal song by Nightwish: Romanticide. To give you a little tease, Romanticide has something in it no other Nightwish song does: A chromatic vocal slide by Floor that ends in such a high, clear note, that I call it "The Banshee Wail."

You're right, she's perfect 😊🤟🏻🇳🇱 you've seen and heard nothing yet though. Keep going you won't be sorry...

That intro makes me wonder where Michael Myers is! Floor says her "windmill" is good exercise for her neck muscles and throat- part warm-up, part stretch, part relaxation/reset. The vocal flips between head, mix, belt, chest and growl so fast and easy-LOOKING!! Yes, super impressive. "Top of her lungs to the bottom of her boots - and back!" "Ghost River" or "Seven Days To The Wolves"..soon?

Don't worry about pausing if you have something relevant to say! Most of us here are huge fans who know the performance by heart so a relevant pause here and there is no problem at all!

No worries about pausing Katie. We want to hear your commentary and thoughts on the vocal and musical performance. I think you will be surprised with the variation in Nightwish music. From very heavy to Celtic folk rock and even a bit of musical theater. Many song allow Floor and Marko (bassist) to play roles within the story of the song. Tuomas (keys) is the main composer of the lyrics and music for Nightwish. His lyrical content can be very deep level poetry, filled with metaphors and imagery to communicate the message of the song. He loves to write about lost innocence and yearning to recapture the wonder and magic of childhood. I hope to see you again very soon. Most of Gabriel's links will have a short comment of the song style. Chose the style that intrigues you. Every song is something special. Loved it Katie! Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth!

Thank you!!

It's funny, each Nightwish song is different yet you can tell it's them. Each song is unique and has it's own twists. And each member is part of the team, no one showing off or trying to out do someone else. And throw in that they are better in person than on recording. Amazing band.

Fantastic reaction!!! Enjoying your Nightwish journey! So many amazing songs this concert- Romanticide, Song of Myself, Ghost River, and for something you would never expect in a metal song try I Want My Tears Back. Then some other great Nightwish concerts like Wembley 2015..

Loving your reactions and I agree with the comments. Pause away. We’ve heard these songs so many times. We just love seeing others enjoy and appreciate their music. I’m a sort of new Nightwish fan myself as I found them a couple of years ago and I’m still learning and loving their music🤘🏻🤘🏻

There is a video of Floor singing Puccini Aria on Dutch TV a few weeks before this concert ,,😎

Great Reaction! At this point Floor had only been with Nightwish for about 10 months. Something happened to their other singer when they were on tour in the U.S. (Seattle) and Toumas called Floor to see if she could come fill in. So the people at this concert in Wacken (pronounced vahken) Germany might have heard Floor sing in her other bands, but they had not heard her sing Nightwish songs.

That smile at the end: "See you at the next one..." :D It's an obvious admission that that's the law of the Universe, you cannot do anything against it.

She has some amazing stuff on her solo channel, would love to see you react to Face Your Demons from her solo concert in Amsterdam.

Not frustrating at all, your amazing. 😊

If people want to watch uninterrupted then just watch the clip. I know for myself I watch reactors for their insights. I love how enthusiastic you are about this little journey

There are two NW performances I will always watch reactions to, _Ghost_ _Love_ _Score_ and _Romanticide_ (both from this concert). However, if someone knows what they are talking about and can present that in an interesting way, I'll watch all the NW reactions (plus other stuff I like). I can already see you are in this second category - keep going, and don't stress about pausing!

It was almost 10 years ago in 2014, i was a 20 years old metalhead. Only information of Nightwish I had was 'They changed their original vocalist years ago'. I knew only one song of theirs, which was "She is My Sin" and that was all. Was not a fan or anything. On that awesomely random night, This show's DVD popped up on my laptop screen and i was like "eh, why not.." I watch entire live shows once or twice a year maybe. SO YEAH, 10 years later i still remember how amazed i was listening to Floor and Nightwish. I think the best word to describe how I felt is 'enchanted'. Now it is 2023 and I still have Floor's voice on many of my daily playlists.

Keep going with Nightwish and mainly with Floor too, she just released her first solo album and it's amazing, is not metal at all but as a metal fan I've loved too. Her performance at beste zangers are just to die admiring them. Greetings and see you!

Excellent. More please. Thank you kindly!

So good to get a reaction of our Nightwish, from someone who clearly 'knows her stuff'. Great job. There is so much of Floor for you to discover. Her singing on the Dutch TV show, Beste Zangers, will give you a serious dose of Floorgasm(goose bumps, chills, etc.) Have a great journey down this rabbit hole.

Nobody here in Holland knew her. And she entered beste zangers holland. 9 weeks of perfection followed where she showed it all. Vilja lied to phantom off the opera. Proud to be dutch

Wonderful reaction. More, more , more Nightwish please!!❤

The maestro behind these songs is Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboardist. Together with Floor's amazing ability to sing they just take their music above any other bands 💙🤍❤️

Loving your reactions

Love your enthusiasm. Please know that there is so much for you to discover and what a joy it will be to follow your journey!

So far you haven't heard Floor and Marco who plays the bass in these songs. He has a phenomenal voice almost as amazing as Floor's. When they do harmonies, they lift each other to new heights and it is utterly amazing.

Love your reaction, new sub from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Nice reaction. Can’t wait till you explore even more

Wonderful reaction. More, more , more Nightwish please!!

Oh, and I ALSO can't wait to see your reaction to Marko singing Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" from their End of an Era show in Finland...the man's voice is also just...*chef's kiss"....awesome.

Love your reactions, subscribed to follow your Floor/Nightwish journey! You’re in for a big treat. I will see her this week with her soloshow, can’t wait. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Min 05:17 sent my jaw drop into oblivion. She effortlessly went Freddie Mercury vibes like it was a walk in the park. This is what I define as intentional, incredible production! I literally stopped, just to log in and leave this reaction. Just wow. 😮♥-Jahmann 😉

You just scraped the surface of Nightwish. I would just dive into the rabbit hole, you will not be disappointed

I think I will enjoy your Nightwish journey ☺️ You’ve got plenty to explore 😁

I am new to your channel and am enjoying it immensely. I do not mind the pauses and understand why completely. A couple of tidbits about Nightwish that i have learned over the past 2 years since I joined the Nightwish Army. One is that at this point in history, Floor was a temporary fill in and had only been with the group for about 7 months. She was scheduled to only finish this tour but was so taken by the Nightwish fans and band that she was made a permanent member of the group. Secondly, and if you are not a fan of heavy metal music, you may not realize the size and importance of performing at the Waken Open Air Festival. This is one of the largest metal gatherings in the world and there were about 82,000 people attending this concert. It also was being recorded for a DVD that the band was putting out, so there was a lot of pressure on the band to have a great performance. None of the music that was performed here was written for Floor, but the two previous singers for the band. If you watch videos of later concerts, you will see that she is a little more relaxed and relates even better to the audience. One of the best examples of this is the video of the song "I Want My Tears Back" from Buenos Aires. She has a great time with the audience while she is on stage. Lastly, she has one of the most versatile singing voices that I have ever heard. She has the ability to sing anything from opera to country music. The closest singer that I know of to her abilities is Linda Ronstadt in her prime. Floor has started to record and tour on her own, along with the work with Nightwish. She really shows her versatility in her solo recordings. She has many of those on line for you to check out. Sorry to make this comment so long, but there is a lot to talk about when you bring up Nightwish.

Good luck w/ the technical issues, seems to be a common experience w/ youtubers :) Glad to see you being comfortable stopping and going back to pick out technical Stuff for us! And, can't wait to watch you slide further into the Nightwish rabbit hole - enjoy!, and thanks again for sharing your excitement with all of us out here on The 'Net!
