NIGHTWISH - Storytime (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) - REACTION VIDEO - OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

The word is SYMPHONIC METAL!!!! The best music in the UNIVERSE!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Look at the band, there faces! They are happy on stage! They do What they love!

Dont worry about comparing Any Lee and Evanessence to Floor and Nightwish. Its the closest thing to it that we have in the states sadly. And dont stress the pronounciation of the band members names. Finnish is hard. We love your reactions because it allows us to expirience them through your eyes which makes it new again. This was a gheat reaction and i loved it.

I’m a southern gal, too, and just happened upon this band a year ago when I was surfing UTube for covers of Phantom of the Opera. Just like you, I was blown away by their talent - I have opened my eyes to European metal, and it is an amazing ride. I am still feeding on Nightwish music almost every day - at home, in the car, at the gym - it gives me energy when I need it most. Luv your genuine reactions - be yourself & enjoy 🤟

Hello fellow southerner from the USA 😁. I'm a decade older than you, and 3+ years after discovering Nightwish, I'm still having trouble containing my astonishment. As a good ol' fashioned southern girl, you're probably supposed to be listening to country music? But you are in for an incredible ride if you stay on this train. This music is on another level. And very few in the USA have ever experienced it. Maybe you can spread the word? And please remember that like all music, nothing happens until someone creates this magic. For Nightwish that would be Tuomas Holopainen (keyboard player). He writes 90+% of Nightwish's music. True living genius. And Floor? Well, she's Floor Jansen. 😃

Debbie....it's the joy that Tuomas gives us all through Nightwish. Enjoy Nightwish....

I felt the same way when i first heard the band. I am 77 years old and have seen pretty much ever genre of music. Nothing compares to the versatility of nightwish.

we welcome You to Nightwish Army, we love You, feel free, feel loved

The looks on your face in this reaction... PRICELESS! So, SO happy you are discovering the magic of Nightwish! Enjoy!

So glad you enjoying the best band in the world fronted by the best singer in the world.

NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. When you discover NightWish and Floor Jansen, everything else seems mediocre. I have never heard a band as AMAZING as this group of 6 musicians. Like I said, GREATEST band EVER! ❤

the greatest vocalist to ever grace my ears

Oh wow I've seen hundreds if not thousand reaction videos with Nightwish and now I've have to start to believe that there is actually something special with Nightwish music... watching your reaction is one of the very best to explain it. Thanks and enjoy the journey.

Don’t worry about the comparison to Amy Lee. Many American reactors make that comparison, as that is seemingly one of the most similar vocalists they are familiar with. However, you will find that Floor is much more versatile. The breadth and depth of her vocal ability is incredible.

As a Nightwish fan, I'm glad you're excited about it. If you keep going (which I really hope) you'll hear a lot more that you've never heard before. Nightwish is really something special and has more than a few good songs!

The ''magnetism'' that we get in... ...after listening the genius of Nightwish... ...And live, they are 🤩🤘✌

Fantastic reaction to our beloved Nightwish with our 6'1" Valkyrie goddess, Floor, on lead vocals. These compositions by Tuomas Holopainen on keyboard come at you with this magical wall of sound above which Floor Jansen's voice soars and are something I never experienced until I discovered Nightwish through a reaction just over a year ago. I was 65 when I made that discovery and on May 18, 2022, Carol, my wife of 41 years, and I got to travel from Phoenix to see them perform live at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco. It was a wonderful, mind-blowing experience I will always treasure. We Americans have been so robbed of years of this musical journey by our lame radio stations that we are flabbergasted when we get to experience it for the first time. Keep following Gabriel's List and prepare for more of the same emotions. There is nothing on the planet like Nightwish in front of a live audience. Floor becomes the music and the crowd. Thank you for this marvelous reaction.

Hallo. Welcome to the Nightwish train. 500 times Storytime, 500 times goooooosebumps!

This is the song that got me hooked on Nightwish. I was gobsmacked and in awe of what I was hearing. Nightwish is an amazing visceral emotional journey that leaves you with a big smile on your face every time.

Being a newbie is awesome. The 1st time hearing any Nightwish or Floor performances will blow anyone's mind. Keep up the recations. There will be joy and tears on your way down the Rabbit hole of Nightwish and our Queen Floor.

One thing I'm gonna say is there's no need to apologize for anything. You are who you are and you know what you know and we like you just like that. Part of the magic of life is discovering and learning about new things, even if those things have been around for a while, so again don't feel bad for not knowing about the greatest band in the whole world. You do now so buckle up and enjoy the ride into the absolute best rabbit hole ever.

Yupp, that's how Nightwish works. :-) the Guy with the Guitar, smiling, is Emppu. And Floor, turning her head around, it's called a Windmill

Yes Nightwish is so good, that Floor'r turbo voice is launched like a rocket, soaring up into the sky!

Greatest voice of the generation? No, the century! And congratulations on another of what Nightwish fans lovingly refer to as a "Floorgasm" here's to many more 👍😉❤

..never bother if You become speachless listening Nightwish,eyes says everything!:)..welcome on a board,dear friend!:)

Dont worry about some of our over sensetive army members they mean well and are exremely passionate. Its o.k. i once lived under a rock until i discovered Nightwish. Our army are world wide Gabriel is our General. Im almost 49 and is also an eighties kid. The age of our army varies from small kids to older senior citizens so your part of a huge family. And we love having you here. And i still love Heart great group. Floor's cover of Alone definately worth a look. Thank you

nice you found nightwish now better now than never,me too 52 years old and iam a nightwish fan since 10 years or bit longer .your reactions i have seen all great,greetings from Germany

Oh my god I absolutely adore you. It's wonderful to see Nightwish crack open your soul. This is going to be a beautiful journey watching you experience this incredible band and many others. We are the same age but I've been blessed with a musical family and have played drums since I was 4. I saw Nightwish live in 2017 and Floor brought tears to my eyes. This is truly one of the greatest bands in the world and I look forward to seeing you get blown away.

Please don’t forget to breathe! Floor has the lungs of a deep sea diver and if you try to breathe when she does, you could easily pass out!

Same reaction when I first discovered Nightwish back in 2018. Nightwish and Floor solo works, also Tuomas and his side project with Auri, and Marko's many musical adventures since, has been the greatest musical gift received. I guess that's why we are a Nightwish Army, we recognize this band as the best on earth. Watching you react to Nightwish is so enjoyable and heart warming in every way. Thanks for sharing with us all. Cheers from Canada.

You're 52?! WOWZER! You are not only sweet but beautiful. Oh! and I love your reactions to Nightwish! PLASE keep following them; you won't regret it!

"What in the world did I just watch?" Perfection, that's what. Nightwish with Floor is another level of awesome. Great reaction, BTW.

love the jawdropping look its awsome to see floorgasm galore

Every new song you listen to will be your favorite... fact.

Nightwish, one of the biggest and best super groups that most Americans have never heard of. Makes you think about the music industry there.

I just love a honest and sincere reaction like you just did Debbie. There's no need for you to apologize for anything, you're new to this kind of music, as we all have been at some time. I'm a 53 yr. old from The Netherlands and I had similar feelings the first time i heard Freddie Mercury from the British rock band Queen. I thought that this would be a once in a life time experience, but Floor and Nightwish proved me wrong, and in a way these two bands and their lead singers have the same effect on one. Both are very refreshing and renewing for their time. If only possible, i would love Freddie and Floor to duett, it surely would've been heaven on Earth. I use this song "Storytime", to get me in the mood for going out or going to a party ever since i've heard it for the first time, as the chorus is so catchy and uplifting, it really gets you in the right frame of mind.

NIghtwish with Floor is such an amazing sound. Floor has this impressive ability to convey such emotion in her singing, that she grabs you much more tightly than the vast majority of singers. And her personality comes across so strong as a wonderful human that it makes it so easy for us to fall in love with her.

their performances are out of this world. If you want to check out some songs, Nightwish is 1000 times better live than their studio videos. This is mainly because Floor is highly sensitive and you just feel with her. She doesn't just perform a song, she IS the song. Greetings from Belgium🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶

Instant subscriber here. You feel everything at maximum intensity - which is a positive fact, but please protect your heart (if you have a treatment) for your next reactions to Nightwish I believe that nothing is accidental in life, and the fact that you met their music for the first time now, is definitely not an accident. All the best, from Romania! PS: I'm 55 yo :)

The song "Ever Dream" will knock your socks off even more. Its one of my favorites. Then again any new song I hear always becomes my favorite🤭💕🤘😎

HOG Army and Nightwish Army.......checking in!!! I KNEW you would love Nightwish! No other band makes me feel the way that their music does! NO ONE!!

Ahh yes Metal... the music that makes you feel... whether you want to or not. :)

In the last (almost) three decades several bands developped the genre of Symphonic Metal. Some of them also have beautiful female voices, e.g. Epica, Ad Inifinitum, Xandria, Delain, and many others. Welcome down in the rabbit hole.

Always a joy to find a good reactor experiencing nightwish for the first time. looking forward to your journey and reactions, expecially on my favorites. Take your time in going down this road, especially before you see the poet and especially greatest show. enjoy the ride!

The Best Band on this Earth ! ! Greetings from Germany. Nightwish Army Northern Germany 🇩🇪

Perfect reaction from you 👍 This song is about never forgetting to use your imagination - and that's precisely what happend to you. Floor grabbed you and made you feel the story in your head / imagination - you became a part of the story, so to speak. You experienced the journey. And that's exactly what it's all about - you experience every story they tell you 👍. And yes - it's not easy or even possible to switch between opera techniques, belting, head voice etc etc - in the same sentence. But Floor doesn't care - she just do it to to give you the ultimate experience of each song. Her vocal range, her breath and voice techniques are beyond anything you have ever seen before - and she even developes her own techniques, to get the perfect emotion in the voice. All Nightwish songs are emotions - even the tribute songs like Shoemaker, will blow your mind in emotion. And you are the perfect Nightwish Army trooper - you feel and experience the stories, and can't hide it - perfect 👍 And don't worry about your heart condition - Nightwish have the perfect song for that 'How is the Heart ♥' - but we will get there later on.. 😉 (just kidding - that song is about caring, and asking how are you really feeling inside). Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘 🤘

The groups composer, Tuomas (keyboards) always uses the perfect key, cord progression and lyrics to provoke a certain feeling. Every Nightwish song has it's own unique emotional response. The wonder and amazement that you're feeling was written into the song. Tuomas is a musical genius, and with Floor and the boys performing, it's like magic. Another amazing reaction! You're killing it 👍

Great reaction. I see some emotion coming through. Nightwish and the Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen will do that to you. Welcome to your new voyage. Enjoy.

Hi Questin Queen, Nightwish devison north Germany here! I'm 58 now and a fan since 1998. I got to the open air Festival Wacken almost every year, Including 2013. I'm too a child of the 80s and when i first heard the song sleeping sun by Nightwish it was like jumping back into the 80s. Would love to hear more from you including about the song the greatest show on earth from the Concert in Tempere Finnland. All the best and stay healthy!! Nightwish army germany

Omg! You nailed it. 💪 Love the reaction. Nightwish bring tears in my eyes, happy tears. Unbelievable band. No words. I love all kinds of music, bur this band. Best band ever!!!!!! ❤ Band members smiles... Everything... Like I said no words. Just... OMG!!!

Great to see Nightwish has a new recruit to the army. Don’t worry Floor has this amazing effect on people. Loved your genuine reaction, all the best from the uk 🤘

This VALKYRIE QUEEN can sing anything you want.great reaction mam,ARISE NIGHTWISH ARMY

It's great that you were able to make a new video so quickly! I think Nightwish made a big impression! Now that you're about to plunge down the NW rabbit hole, just let go. It's full of surprises. NW has made about 120 songs and you won't find two alike! Composer-lyricist genius Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) takes care of it! Tuomas' composition and lyrics + Nightwish + London Philharmonic Orchestra + Metro Voices choir + conductor James Shearman = Eargasm!

Nightwish is a band that really stirs up the emotions, and that comes from the passionate band members who are in it for the pure joy of the music. There are no egos in this band, they are all a family and you can tell how much fun they have from the smiles (and things like the guitarist Emppu touching everyone during the performances and his joyful clowning around). They share that energy and love back and forth with their audiences and you can see that special connection between them and the fans. And of course that incredible music is the brain child of their songwriting genius Tuomas, who pens most of those poetic lyrics and passionate music. I encourage you to continue to explore Nightwish, it is quite a rewarding journey because every song holds something special and unexpected (some are real head bangers, some are so beautiful they will literally bring tears, some make you want to dance a jig) . A few of my suggestions would include these from some different concerts on RU-vid: 1) from the Wacken concert: Romanticide, Ever Dream, Amaranth, and The Last Ride Of The Day; 2) from Live at Wembley: My Walden, 7 Days To The Wolves, Yours Is An Empty Hope, Nemo, and While Your Lips Are Still Red; 3) from live at Tampere: Sleeping Sun and The Islander; 4) from Live at Buenos Aires 2018: I Want My Tears Back, Elan, and Dead Boy's Poem. There are of course many, many more but those are some of my own favorites. Although Nightwish was formerly fronted by two very talented ladies, I personally much prefer Floor and the band's performances after she joined in late 2012.

Nightwish Army from Rural Oregon. Medical Tent. Technology Explainer. Hack Musician. If NIghtwish does not alter your life, your ability to enjoy, if they don't broaden you vistas... Nightwish is like hanging with Alice and taking the little black pill labeled "Metal". Each song draws me 'down the rabbithole', again and again. There really is magic in this music. Written as a story, written as a warning, written as a carrot, written as a lesson shrouded in metal sung by sirens and animals in the dark. The musicianship is immaculate. The sound production (this is LIVE) is astounding. And the crowd... that Nightwish Army on the field.... Faces full of joy and energy and hope and desire. And if you fell in that crowd, there'd be a hundred, a thousand hands lifting you back up. This is not an angry crowd. There's no "we're better than you" attitudes out there. In a Nightwish crowd, you are amongst friends.

As you are American it is nothing strange to compare to Amy Lee. She also has a beautiful voice and its rock. There is a difference with the music and of course Floors range. And in Europe there are more bands like this. You have Epica and Within temptation that are really good but for me Nightwish is number one. Subscribed so i can be apart of your journey. Greetings from Sweden

Your reaction is heart warming, you don't need to articulate with big words, your eyes and face say it all. Carry on reacting to this GOAT group and follow Gabriel's list, each song will be your favourite as you listen to it and will change your view of composition, lyrics and performances forever.

You are doing an amazing job. Nightwish and Floor have changed my whole idea of what music should and could be.

Hello @TheQuestionQueens, NW Army Italian Division here. I am very happy that you enjoyed your second Nightwish workout as much as I enjoyed your heartfelt and emotional reaction to this song. No worries if someone hasn't been polite to you, he surely isn't really in the Nightwish Army. Nightwish Army is a wonderful polite and passionate family that comes from all over the world, a peaceful family open to all regardless of race, religion or anything else. Your journey in the Nightwish world has just begun and you still have no idea how many beautiful surprises you will encounter. Best regards from Italy!

Your authenticity rocks, don't apologize for anything. Symphonic metal is tragically not so common in the U.S. and Evanescence is not an uncommon comparison. There are other great bands in this genre, but Nightwish is...well, I'm glad Nightwish affects you the way it does! Keep reactin'! 👍

I was impressed with your first reaction so I'm back for more. Don't worry about ruffling anyone's feathers, we don't need any gatekeepers in the Nightwish Army, everyone is welcome. Enjoy the ride, it'll blow your mind what this band is capable of.

They can make you smile, they can make you cry too (if you continue this journey). Welcome to Nightwish world. Greetings from Portugal 🤘

If i ever get my hands on a time machine, this concert would be it's destination.

Nightwish Army Minnesota checking in. I'm also 52. American radio just never offered us music like this, and how do you search for something you might like if you don't know it exists? Sirius XM doesn't even have a channel for it. RU-vid and the other streaming services helps now, but these are not resources we had growing up. I recommend watching this entire concert as an introduction to the many sides of Night wish. They can go harder and they can go softer. Ever Dream from this show is particularly wonderful. Also, the latest album, Human Nature has moments that will be a party, and other moments that will make you weep with beauty. Enjoy the ride. Stay strong my sister.

I just love your sincere reactions. Don’t change and be YOU. Don’t apologize. Enjoy… 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

If you think they're good on a recording whether it's just audio or a video I can assure you that being there in person is a whole different thing, you don't just hear Floor's last note from Ghost Love Score you FEEL it, it's a whole body experience. I was at Wembley in November last year when they performed live and Floor put on a performance that just left those in attendance awe struck, I looked at my mate of over 25 years and could only shake my head in utter disbelief at what I was experiencing.songs such as "Shoemaker" and "how's the heart" (acoustic) have to be heard in person to truly grasp the power in Floor's voice.

Music is awesome.

Don't worry about comparisons. That is what we people do, comparing new things to things we know or have seen before. And we all have preferences. The beauty of this all is that we all share our love for this amazing band and it's incredible members, but off course we all like a lot of other bands and share that too. The look on your face during the last part of Storytime: priceless!. Reminded me a bit of my own face when I started tyo listen to Nightwish. What is next: Romantice? Ever dream? Enjoy!!

❤Nightwish ❤Floor ! It is great to see you experience Nightwish for the first time , we (the Nightwish Army) get to relive our first time with you and it never gets old !!

I am glad you found Nightwish

She is amazing.

Yes glad you continued the journey. The keyboardist Tuomas is a flipping musical genius and has built his music in such deep layers that you’re finally picking up. And that’s the symphonic elements to the songs. The layers are strings horns wind instruments etc and yes choir. Hopefully now the 2nd song into the journey you should replay them to find more and more of the layers. To really appreciate how complex Tuomas’s music is. No bands in North America will ever compare. And is very sad to know Nightwish won’t be air played in our pathetic music bubble. If they did, kiss all that R&B, Rap Contry and yes the Pop. Yes Nightwish is categorized as Symphonic Metal but also does have a catalog of less of pure metal songs. It is truely amazing this band is huge worldwide but not really know around here in 🇺🇸🇨🇦 Enjoy the rabbit hole ride!

Your reactions are like a kid in a candy store.. excited about what they see and want more and more. That's what you bring to the table.. honesty and genuineness and that is what makes people sit there and watch, and more importantly, come back to your channel.

You’ll see members of the Nightwish army are loving kind people as a rule you’re going to fit in just fine you’re learning about Nightwish you’re enjoying the music and that’s all we want and all they want. I love your videos your facial expressions are priceless one floor sings keep up the great work Mike from Oregon

I have seen many reaction videos of this song. It is so much fun to watch music with friends... and you are my new friend. We feel similar about this band, music and songs. You notice what I notice and more. Thank-you! Beware, this can become a rabbit-hole; there are at least 10 more Nightwish songs that are basic cannon. ON the otherhand - watching more Nightwish can only be good for the both of us. I have subscribed and will watch each one. Thank-you

So glad you did this reaction within 24 hours of me viewing your GLS reaction. I looked for more and realized this one was posted just 20 minutes ago. I’m 65 and was a heavy metal/hard rock follower for 50 years but a few months ago that all changed. Realize that floor had JUST started with Nightwish and you caught that look Empuu the guitarist gave to Floor when he realized this is the best singer Nightwish ever had and the best choice they could have made. Floor had only 48 hours to learn the setlist and Seattle Washington was their first gig with her earlier that year. You will find that every consecutive song you hear will become your new favorite. Keep on the Wacken 2013 performances and you won’t be disappoint. BTW you look fantastic and don’t be ashamed to let the tears of joy flow. Looking forward to your next video, tomorrow! (Everdream was Floor’s biggest challenge, and no one comes close to what she can do in that song and you’ll see why). There were 85000 spectators, arms up in unison, that would agree they witnessed exquisite perfection that was mesmerizingly beautiful that night.

Just wait til you see Ever Dream.....Jeez, when yu see Dead Boys Poem or Poet and the Pendulum.... you WILL cry...I did. Best Live Band on THE Planet

As a drummer, this is one of my favs by Nightwish because of the badass drum solo we got in this one. Loved your reaction as always. 🙂

Love, you do not have to explain yourself,experiencing for the first time ,eventually you will get to know more about Nightwish , just like everything else in life,have a great night,will keep on watching your reactions.

Welcome to the Nightwish Army enjoy!!!!!

NW will make you cry and thump holes in the ceiling...there's no other band like this. They encapsulate everything good from +40 years of pop /rock / classical music with a generational talent in Floor Jansen and quite simply a genius composer in Tuomas Holopainen. That's not to ignore the other stellar talents in the various lineups. There are no weak songs every single one is a crafted mini masterpiece. Happy to be along for the ride. Deep breaths

Our Valkyrie Queen has snatched another soul !!!

Best female singer on the planet

1. you don't need to apologise 2. yes, we all said "what was that?" 3. we are glad that now you belong to the army. Greeting from Greece!

I look forward to watching your journey...they are a once in a lifetime band. And I am understating that! 🙂

Nightwish makes you feel... real good :D

thanks for loving nightwish

All I can say, you have just scratch the surface of the talent and amazing nightwish (especially the keyboardist who is the heart of the group) and floor jansen can be, I'm already enjoying to see to what you gonna react next ;).

Several years ago, Floor appeared on a Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers(best singers). The format is , a group of well known European singers, sit around in a cozy setting and sing for each other. For an idea of just how good Floor is you should check out her performance of Mama, Vilja Lied a cover of Lady Gaga's Shallow, and the astounding duet with a well known former Phanton, in Phantom of The Opera. Floor hits a note, and holds it for 8 seconds, which brings the house down. The videos are on you tube. Your enthusiasm and reaction is fun and enjoyable. Welcome to Nightwish.

You get it...Nightwish + Floor = musical perfection. Enjoyed your 2nd reaction and want to tell you that you will be holding your breath a lot during your NW journey.

Your wonderful reaction is how I was three years ago! Once you’re under the magical spell of Floor there’s no way back! Please enjoy your Nightwish journey 🎉.

Your reaction seems very genuine so don't worry about not knowing much about the band, you're getting there! And I hope your ready for some more cardio workouts from what's to come on your Nightwish journey!

I can totally relate. About 2 years ago I discovered Nightwish with Ghost Love Score. By the end of it I was heavily sweating and had goosebumps (Floorgasms) galore. I am so enjoying your wonderstruck reactions. There are many more of those in your future.

That was a couple of proper Floorgasms again, typical symptoms are pumping heart, spechlessnes and goosebumps. Nightwish music usually are high energetic and emotional, and a usual feeling is that the song you just listen to is the new favorite Nightwish song. So happy that you discovered Nightwish and that you decided to share it with us, thank you! See you soon.

The most versatile singer of our times And a very down to earth person by the way The Queen is her name She can sing all what you want... You have so much to learn about her and Nightwish And be sure.....you'll never be disapointed So come on and join thé family Hi from France 😗

Great cardio, you'll have a stronger body and soul after the journey. You nailed it, Floor is a HSP (High Sensitive Person) and feels every song she performs which she naturally projects to the audience. A lot of us feel the same empathy she projects and makes many of us tear up in emotions even after 100's of listenings and many years of enjoying their music. Follow Gabriel's list and you'll be in for a real nice ride. Buckle up Alice, the rabbit hole runs deep! Keep it up !!

Great reaction 😘Floor is absolutely gorgeous , her amazing singing and the way she act on stage makes you can t takę yours eyes off her😍🤗💋

Hahaha. Oh woman, you made me laugh, and is a good thing. Please don't apologize. You're really reacting to a new song. A Nightwish song, nothing more nothing less. Good reaction. Thanks. Greettings from Argentina

Watching you react to this made me very happy. There's at least 5 different points in the video where I wanted to hit the like button. Please continue on the journey on Gabriels list and please let us come along with you!

Greetings from Switzerland. I'm 51, and a Nightwish fan for more than 20 years. Despite the fact, that I love various styles of music, this band keeps staying in my personal top 10. And this is because I feel the passion and love they give to every song they ever created. Observing your reaction you've had to these two song you've already heard, I'm quite convinced, you will never be disappointed from what you're still going to hear by going down this rabbit hole ;-) Take Gabriel's list, pick them randomly, they're all worth it.
