Nightwish - Ever Dream (Wacken 2013) I Shower Singer Reacts I 

A big shout out to the drummer Jukka!! We miss you!!!!!

For those who haven't noticed yet - the video for Ghost Love Score is Jenna's first video with over 100,000 views! Once again at this point Jenna, congratulations on this more than deserved success. 💐🥂 👋 cu soon; Kelsea

There's plenty of Marko greatness w/ Nightwish and when both Marko and Floor harmonize it's SO EPIC!!!! The key change at the end and all instrument and vocals on steroids is so INTENSE!!!

A moment of silence for Jukka's drum kit, which he beat like it owed him money in that performance.

Yes, that is Marko, and he has a wonderful singing voice, a perfect match for Floor! Semper Fi from Wisconsin! 🤘🤘

Great reaction Jenna! Marko and Floor singing together add a whole other dimension to Nightwish's sound. There are several songs in their catalog with both and some with Marko alone. I'll let others suggest them.

And, here comes Marko Hietala! Sometimes called "The Father of Metal in Finland" and, by the way, Finland has the higest number of metal bands per capita of any country in the world. You will hear much more from him in your journey through the Nightwish catalog, and, like Floor, there is a whole nother series of surprises waiting for you in his work outside of Nightwish. His work with his own band Tarot was epic, and, fingers crossed, it looks like there may be some hopes that band will come back together. He also is in the group Northern Kings, and does guest appearances with many other bands. Plus, his album Pyre of the Black Heart is full of wonderful music. I'm glad you're doing Romanticide next. Strap in. I think you'll enjoy the ride.

Marco, one of the best male metal singers around. He sings ALOT with Floor, often taking lead (though people don't always notice he's taken over and Floor is harmonising). Song of Myself (this show), Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean and Slaying the Dreamer (both Buenos Aires 2018), Poet (Wembley 2015), Greatest Show (Wembley and Tampere 2015 - both are compulsory) and many many more. Also check him out as solo lead in The Islander (Tampere 2015), While Your Lips are Still Red (Wembley 2015) and the ultimate Marco solo, High Hopes from Hartwall Areena 2095

Congratulations from me too! Over 100,000 views in just 2 weeks is enormous. You're probably doing a lot of things right. 💐🍻 I'm really looking forward to your next Nightwish reaction. Greetings from Germany

This song (specifically this version) is SOOOOOOOO beautiful. Full of power

Magic is real!

Marko and Floor together were pure magic. I miss him....

I Love your reactions and of course Floor and Nightwish.

Yep. Marko

🐕my fav love song ❤

Amazing song as usual,❤

Tuomas' songs and composing such powerful art. He is our modern day metal Mozart. And that Jukka's double kicking drums, I love that 🥁❤

O yes, Marco can sing, Do " while your lips are still Red" from Wembley 2015.

Yes, you are correct.

good evening you are heading headlong down the Nightwish Rabbit hole, and your are on course for an, Amazing ride. Me, I am Nightwish fan of 25 years, and been to 26 live shows all over Europe, love it, just keep on going Lady .

Tuomas the keys player writes almost all the songs including the music (why he is called the METAL MOZART)

This never gets old 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻Marko 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Buckle up for Romanticide 😂😂

Love the way this song builds: from the gentle piano at the start, to the full on hard rock sound at the end!

You nailed it.

If I had to pick just one...

Dammit, Floor made me cry again.

Floors voice just touch your soul ❤

You will absolutely love Romanticide..🔥

If you want to hear more Marko please check out The Islander performed at Tampere and While your lips are still red performed at Wembley. And yes Marko did help write those songs. Tuomas writes 90% Of the songs like this one. He's an empath like Floor and he's a poet as well.

Good one.

Hi Jenna, greetings from UK That was another great reaction thank you 😉 You hit the nail on the head when you said what you thought the song was about. It is asking someone if they ever dream about you

🤩👍💥💯🎶 Tons and tons of pleasurable moments coming for you on this path which is already paved ahead of you, in case you're about to continue your Nightwish journey. (guess so if "Romanticide" is already in plan 😋🙃 🥰 ) 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

Yes...the Viking can sing too......if you want more of that magic......Ghost River from Wacken 2013 should be the next stop... All Hail Queen Floor !

My interpretation of the lyrics is pretty much the same as yours. This was one of my top favourite songs back in the day. That's probably also why it took me a few extra listens to really appreciate Floor's version - I associated the song so strongly with the original singer Tarja. Then all of a sudden it somehow just "clicked" and really loved Floor's interpretation of the song as well! Funny how things work sometimes. I don't think it "replaces" the original version though, it complements it. Thanks for another great reaction, I'm of course happy that you liked this one! ☺

Thank you. ❤

ok a must is nightwish high hopes live and kiss while your lips are still red both live from wembley Marco will blow your mind

Marco takes lead in multiple songs, and harmonizes in many more.

If you like Marco voice you have to see Ghost River also from Wacken 2013

Yes, it definitely feels epic at the end, when Jukka kicks up the energy on the drums with the double-kick, and Floor's vocals soar even higher. Floor and Marko's vocals intersecting in that last section is cool too. It's probably one of their more "mainstream" songs, but even their mainstream stuff sounds epic!

Floor does a lot of stuff solo, that she did during the pandemic. She was also on a Dutch tv show called Beste Zangers (Best Singers) that you should check out. Reacting to all of her songs on that show would be a good idea ;-).

"Romanticide" next please. Great reaction. Loving your channel.

I've lost count of how many times I've heard this (and all the other songs from this gig!) but STILL, EVERY TIME, I'm almost in tears. Lovely reaction.

Marko is a vocal god

Hi Jenna! We metallers on 40's are so glad listening reactions about metal music (the best music in all its several styles, forever) by people who are not in metal way. And yours is so good an shocking and... If you like nightwish you can listen "the poet and the pendulum' and " dead boy poem". Why?? Because the so great dark composer mind named Holopainen writes so different tragic poems with so sense and a lot of different parts in every song. And... People uses to cry listening these song at first time about the theme of lyrics, the intense voices and power mixed with calm. Maybe is a duel to listen these songs for someone who doesn't use to read metal lyrics and its powerful music. And you can read the mix of Holopainen different stories in his verses for to give them a concrete sense; he is a so dark poet mind who, almost everyone of us, he has read a lot of mythology and epic fantasy novels. Thanks for this reactions! Metal minds we appreciate you interest in our music without you demonized it. And yes: we miss Yukka (the so crazy drummer) and our hero Hietala. Floor is here again💪💪, no baddest demons can destroy her!! We think and hope Jukka and Hietala will be soon again!!Thanks you for these reactions, and if you dare with the song I wrote before... Take care for the emotion they give.🤘🤘

So good...

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done girl again

😊🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯🤘

You should check 2 albums that were recorded with Floor: "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" (2015) and "Human Nature" (2020). The greatest with Nightwish is each album is full story that Tuomas wants to tell us. Each album has it's theme like Endless forms most Beautiful for example is inspired by theory of evolution and Richard Dawkins even reads an intro in the album :)

Great reaction Jenna, I really enjoyed the detail of your own interpretation of it, it’s very interesting! Oh boy…… Romanticide….. It’s shear genius!!! Looking forward to it very much 🌹

checkout HIGH HOPES a pink floyd tribute where marko is tghe only vocalist. best cover ever.

Great response Jenna, most people lose it when listening to Nightwish. Keep doing what you do, your channel deserves to grow further and it will. Cheers, Rich

Another song were Floor and Marko sing together is Ghost River.

Plenty of Floor and Marco singing together to come ......they were born to sing together

Greetings from Finland. Y look like Sandra Bullock. Y are Sandra Bullock sister or daugter❤

I really like the little sarcastic note there when Floor says they're going to go a bit softer, then BOOM, the melody explodes

If you enjoy Marko's singing, you should check out Nightwish - While Your Lips Are Still Red.

I really enjoy your channel! I have been "into" hard rock and heavy metal since I was a boy in the 1960's. I found Nightwish from another Reaction Channel in January of 2019...and I listen to them almost all the time! You have 20+ years of Nightwish to explore!!!

As many mentioned to you in your first reaction., there is a lot to discover, and still your journey has just begun. A lot more to go with twists and turns to be experienced

vocals + just piano = pretty... agree. The unplugged version of Pretty Reckless "25" is exactly that. The band is more hard rock and her vocals are smoky and haunting.

Great reaction to the most incredible band - subd for the Nightwish journey 🤘

Next shoemaker

Jou have to listen to Nightwish the islander , Marco solo , different but beautiful

Nah, you'll LOVE Romanticide! I know it already. If you're up for a challenge, jazz it up with Jinjer - Pisces!

Of course this song is going to mean something different to everyone, but for me you nailed the feeling. Love that's not yet blossomed, or may never be . It's been my favorite song since Tarja was singing it. That was a totally amazing reaction Koality 🤗Romanticide is the polar opposite of this song. It's about the end of love, and about a woman who wakes up from a toxic relationship.

nightwish phantom of the opera live with Tarja version

Gerat reaction! Floor considered this the hardest song she had to sing because of the extended high belts until they did the song Shoemaker off their most recent album Human Nature. On that album Tuomas said he wrote specifically to challenge Floor, Marko, and Troy's vocal abilities. In Shoemaker Floor has this incredibly complicated melody with rapid pitch changes and fast vocal lines plus an epic ending. When they first released the album, right before the pandemic hit, Floor had said she wasn't sure they could perform it live. But they did the work and there are some great videos of the band performing it live at Hellefest 2022 and Deichbrand 2022. Both are great but my favorite is the lyric video because the visuals, especially the ending add to the epicness of the song. The song is a tribute to Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science and the only human whose remains have been interned on another celestial body, the moon. It is also an epic ode to the human spirit of exploration. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rjp_DfvJimg.htmlsi=ekgemOcSF35MecFK. Yes Marko is an amazing singer. Others have mentioned some of the songs where he sings lead and they are all great but my favorite is one that is often overlooked and rarely reacted to. The song is Endlessness, also from Human Nature. It was the last song of Disc 1 from the album and is a fitting last song that Marko recorded with Nightwish. He left the band on good terms after the album's release for personal reasons. Song has never been played live and probably never will as it is a Marko song. Because the pandemic prevented the band from touring in support of the album they released lyric videos and one music video for all the songs on Disc 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DLFI7Cs7qmk.htmlsi=HnVx7QI2UGnA_03T

Marko is a phenomenal singer you should hear his Phantom performed with Tarja the original singer and at Christmas you should look in to his work with Raskasta Joulua

Marko and Floor are natural Sopranos. Sometimes they just overdub melody. Its so good that Marko has to end words so that you can even hear him, crazy good.

🖤🤘

Good evening Jenna, my fav NW reactor😍...and greetings from Geordie NW Army. I ❤your style girl 😁. I'm sooo pleased you're continuing your NW journey. 'Fun' is a word you use often to describe this band, and it's exactly that...as well as being an amazing band, they always look like they're having fun up there on stage... All of this Wacken gig is fantastic, so it doesn't really matter what you choose next...🤘

Also watch this one... Nightwish - Shoemaker (live at Hellfest 2023) Goosebumps at the end! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EJELZo9AFdY.htmlsi=Keuv7_6UeJAEg14W

Ah, the Ol' Nightwish Double Header : the seductive power of a love-yet-to-be in Ever Dream --vs-- the 'chuck-this-f-in-the-bucket attitude of Romanticide. How love grows, explodes, agitates and goes off, screaming into oblivion. Should be a good time. Can't wait.

🤘🤘🤩🤩🤘🤘

3:00 If you want to hear more of Marko, I'd strongly suggest Ghost River / High Hopes / The Islander (all by Nightwish of course)

if you want to hear some more of Floors vocal talent you really need to listen to "yours is an empty hope" one min an angel the next a demon!!! Marco and floor singing together but listen out for the deep demonic growl and you guessed it Floor shows more of her vocal versatility

At best, as a casual listener of Nightwish, there are few songs they perform that I could listen to everyday. Not just any ol' performance though, but rather a few from this show specifically. It's a 'lightning in a bottle' kind of performance because of who the personnel that was performing, the venue and the crowd preserved on one of the best live video performances I've ever been blessed to come across. There are bands that can succeed at plug and play with different personnel (like PMJ or Scary Pockets) but with the departure of Marco and Jukka that magic for will never be recaptured. Besides GLS, Nemo is the only other performance I'm in love with that was included in this setlist. That's not to say there is anything wrong with the rest of it, just sayin those three are my fav. So thank you for sharing your reaction to them.

Wait till you hear “Sleeping Sun” I think you’ll really love that one.

Check out Sabaton. Floors husband is the drummer.

Should have just done a reaction to the entire Wacken concert! lol Great job as usual!

please react gabriel henrique golden buzzer agt 2023 singer from brasil

soft maybe the subject is soft but this song has a awesome rhythms to it especially after marko and floor start harmonizing vocals after that it really takes off has a good faster drive cool outro too good pick

Is that Marco strumming an electric base with a guitar pick, not plucking?🎉

Yep. There's the poet's intent, of course. And often, plenty of room to embrace and internalize your personal experience of this art - almost like that's a feature, not a glitch... Nice work, kiddo! Please continue. Cheers rl 🤘👹🤘

Ever Dream is one of my favs. Jukka just killin' it on drums. Damn that guy could rip it. I'm glad he chose Kai to replace him. Kai tosses in so many subtleties. How does a band keep getting outstanding players.

Aka FJBMC (Floor Jansen's Belting Master Class)

😘👍

Jenna! I hope you are feeling OK? No facial muscle pulls? I was afraid your cheek bones were going to explode. You were smiling so hard. 😛 Your expression when Marko kicked in was priceless. …remember that moment when you discovered that he sings too! Floor and Marco harmonizing is a huge feature in a lot of Nightwish songs. Yes! Romanticize next! …and watch for the harmonies in that one! Maybe invest in a seatbelt before listening to that one. …it’s heavy! It also is fun! Marco and Floor play musical theater, going back and forth in that struggle that is real between the male and female in relationships. (and the humour - I went with the Canadian spelling. Looking out your window it looks like you are somewhere in Howe Sound, BC …not meaning to be creepy with the guess 😊) You will get the meaning of the song just by watching, but you might want to have the lyrics handy. This is a no holds barred ‘discussion’ in a strained relationship It’s a ‘Romanticide’ 😁

An awesome song with beautiful lyrics! Although I prefer Tarja's (you'll find out soon and then you' ll have heard the holy trinity of female symphonic metal voices i.e. Floor, Simone & Tarja, in alphabetic order) version from End of an Era concert, sweet reaction as always. Greetings from Greece!

Please, react to: Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry - 1992 Tokyo Guns N' Roses - Civil War - 1992 Tokyo Guns N' Roses - Estranged - 1992 Tokyo Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle - 2001 Rock In Rio We need prime Axl Rose here! :) 😊

< 'Like' number 666

So please tell us, when was your first Floorgasm? First, second or third song?

Marko has an amazing voice and luckily for us, the fans, he sings quite often. Check out the song "The Islander" to hear more. Also, I think you're ready for "The Poet and the Pendulum ", followed by "The Greatest Show on Earth". If you want EPIC, you must give them both a listen. 😊

For me is that normal Music

That chorus you talked about.... Yes, I think you've got it. It is about something I am sure that every man alive can remember from his younger self, growing up: Becoming totally, helplessly infatuated with a young woman (most likely a school classmate I would surmise) and realizing, if he is honest with himself, that it is a one-way feeling. She has perhaps not even noticed that he exists and, even if she did, probably would not feel reciprocally attracted. Yet, the infatuation feelings are so overwhelmingly strong that he must soothe his soul by imagining, in his dreams, that some day, some how, their souls will find each other. That "some how" might in some cases involve the professional writing of song lyrics in hopes that she might recognize they're love letters to her??? Hmmmm.....🤔🤔🤔 just saying to open that avenue of speculative thinking. While this is something I am sure men will understand at a very visceral and personal level, I have grown with age to understand that young girls probably have a very different experience of this same phenomenon when growing up that we similarly cannot ever truly grasp. It is an interesting topic.

I'm glad you liked it, though I thought you would! I think that as good as this performance is, it doesn't get enough recognition because the sustained belting at such a high pitch is so, so difficult and requires both crazy control and power. I think I heard Floor herself say before that this is the most difficult (or one of the most difficult of their songs to sing). Marko seems to surprise everyone, and does blend very well with Floor. A lot of people will recommend a few other songs to hear Marko better, but my personal favourite Nightwish performance with him is the Phantom of the Opera cover I linked, where he sings with Tarja.

They have several songs where they sing together - and Oh My God how good they match, Marko and Floor. Please react to more Nightwish as You will notice that all songs are a unique experience than the previous. And the fact that Floor was just a hired temporary singer during this tour, replacing Anette during mid US-tour. She had been with the band about 9 months at this performance. She and Troy (their multi-instrumentalist) was offered a permanent place just short before this European leg of the tour, but it was not officially announced until the end of the year (2013).

I really enjoy your reactions- "Ghost Love Score" was the first I'd see you do. Now it seems you've caught the Nightwish Fever, as any who really enjoy epic productions do. I like that you don't over-analyze during the song, (ie stopping every 2 sec...), and keep the majority for the end. You said to give you some recommendations? Here's one going the other way, if you've not already heard/analyzed him. Mr. Felix Irwan. I love original songs over cover songs the majority of the time? But if you're gonna cover someone else's song, make it your own, while keeping the important aspects, and parts you respect the most, intact. I believe Felix did this, with Adele's song. Here's the link to the best video to review, should you choose to do so. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LlcqsFOIRmc.htmlsi=1_TKqT4Rdxk3p9Yu

Why random people must do commentar for singers, of the most talented female singer? Nobody ta youtube is even close to Floor and yet....all say so smart comments.

Everdream - when you suddenly realize that Nightwish had two elite world-class vocalists. At this point it should also be apparent that the reason your heart does flutters during their songs is that they have six virtuosos performing genius level compositions. Tuomas does not compose anything but masterpieces, and Floor has become a far better singer by the challenges Tuomas creates for her. If you'd like to discover a completely different world of that genius, give AURI a try. It's Tuomas, his wife Johanna Kurkela and Troy, another genius virtuoso multi-instrumentalist from Nightwish, playing a softer, gentle side of their musical genius. Bring your seatbelt for Romanticide, it's a world-class ride.
