Opera Singer Reacts to NIGHTWISH | Ghost Love Score | Floor Jansen | Performance Analysis 

Hello Jess [Soprano Notes] ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar.. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in 2013 at Wacken Open Air festival, in front of a 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. You really understood what Floor Jansen did there, and thank you for explaining it to us all! Instant subscribe for that. You appreciate all the key elements of a Nightwish show: the intricate classical-structured "cinematic score" composition, the high level of musicianship of all band members, the stellar vocals and charisma of Floor Jansen, our Dutch metal queen. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the 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, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen 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 (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. So be prepared. lol " Hope you'll continue this journey with us, so I'll drop here a list of songs with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory): "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zz_7OCCQlXs.html "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pvkYwOJZONU.html "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Xi4n8dJcF8.html​ "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lQu5QjidHWg.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S8E3L7ggLMM.html​ "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-05eitd-EA6I.html "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OvOD6xecph4.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-knqeI807ZlY.html​ "Sleeping Sun" live at Tampere 2015 (ballad) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rsotlzr9wNw.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NhEuAPYm_Ug.html​ "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wA44tjaP5n0.html​ "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TBOdgxjb0kM.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t26r_vAYQ0Q.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AN239Pbqbjo.html​ "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XvsfwAPbWXc.html​ And if you want to hear Floor growling :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DuwY1d-KIss.html Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019 (TV show from Netherlands) here is a playlist made by Floor herself (start listen it in reverse order..): ru-vid.com/group/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo To understand better the context of this show you should visit also Jenniezelf's YT channel (En subtitled materials): ru-vid.com For entire episodes of the show with En translation, you should check Denise Hofs's DM channel: www.dailymotion.com/xpinkeu/videos In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us, which you can find on her YT channel ru-vid.com/show-UCxy4Ijz2QKXXJaREs-isxwA - there are already 2 covers there, the first is "Let It Go" from "Frozen" (2 weeks ago, already over 1M views) and the second - "Alone" from "Heart" (released just a few hours ago) .. Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.

“She has such a delicate voice.” NIGHTWISH fans - “eating popcorn and waiting”

Watching an opera singer bobbing her head to a metal song is very cool indeed

I was there and witnessed the goddess...

I love how we're slowly turning every opera, pop, rapper, country, music producer into a metal head. Slowly, but surely, we will have them all.

"I had a experience just watching them thru the screen" My friend, that "experience" is what we call a FLOORGASM!

you know you're a musician when you have a favorite interval 😂

This is one of the best reactions I've seen for Ghost Love Score. And I've seen them all. Instant subscribe.

Absolutely the best reaction to dear Floor and the band EVER!! You pour out info at speed. Just brilliant!! Thank you and CHEERS!! Hope you have a fantastic day young lady..

I love how you breakdown the parts of the song. You also have a lot of music knowledge which lends itself to your credibility and before I forget, I love your voice. Nightwish is an amazing band!

It's wonderful hearing someone, with such a beautiful and trained voice herself, confident enough to compliment and admire another talented vocalist. My mother was a soloist in a choir and I always envied her talent that wasn't handed down to me, but she would compliment other's voices too. Mark of a professional I'm guessing. Nice job here explaining things I'd never have noticed. Thank you

Really interesting and knowledgeable perspective to a song I’ve heard an unreasonable number of times. And it looks like you quite enjoyed it too. Looking forward to more Nightwish. I’ve not yet seen them live but I will next May.

Most people react to "the note" at the very end, but overlook the moment just before which is even more impressive (imo). Glad you called it out, and thanks for the great reaction.

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes!!! I love me a noob Nightwish reactor who clearly knows what she's talking about because she's a pro as well and then simply swooning and fangirling over what she's experiencing. No doubt in my mind to hit that Subscribe button. Prepare for the Nightwish Army. I don't explain, you'll see it for yourself!

Tuomas: "Floor, what's your range?" Floor: "Yes".

I always enjoy it when someone doesn’t just react to a song like this, but also breaks it down and analyzes it because they have the musical skill and knowledge to do so. Great video!

This was everything I ever wanted in a Nightwish vocal reaction! Thank you! You picked up on so much. Floor Jansen is otherworldly. She has classical training, and can also growl (see Yours is an Empty Hope). I recommend checking out Storytime, and Song of Myself - each Nightwish song you listen to will surprise you! Hope to see more NW reactions from you :)

This was an excellent reaction. I've listened to this song and watched reaction videos too many times to count. Your comments were SO insightful and genuine, you are one of the best technical reviewers I've heard (and your singing sounds pretty incredible, too).

Best Nightwish reaction I have seen in a long time. Can't wait for your future videos.

I have seen Tarja, Annette and Floor, they have all been amazing, but I have to admit Floor is my fave. Tarja is my intro to the band back in 2000 but Floor can bring every song from every album to life. Amazing. ❤️

This is one of the coolest reactions because we all are learning and not just looking at some -oh wow, nice, dope, damn wow- reactions xdxdxdx

That was all we could wish for in a reaction, thank you so much! I really hope you're interested in doing more. This was only a fraction of what she is capable of. Not only is she technically amazing, she is a master in letting you feel the emotions. I've seen butch, tattooed guys tear up as soon as she starts to sing.

Happy first Floorgasm! Best (Night)wishes!

Funfact: nightwish calls floor while she is on the wedding of her sister: nightwish: ' floor, help can you fill in for anette?' Floor:' oke.' nightwish: 'can you learn the whole playlist in 48 hours?' And floor nailed it this was for this tour

99,99% of vocalists sing what they can. Floor sings what she wants 🤘

Wow what a reaction!! Floor is beyond amazing!! Please react to more Nightwish with Floor Jansen....The Nightwish Army is Here 😍

Welcome aboard, you haven't heard half of what Floor, and Nightwish, can do. The Marco, bassist, also sings and together they make an incredible pair. The compositions and instrumentalists are top level.

Floor can sing everything she wants to, from death growls to opera style.

Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign.

I've seen 100+ reactions to this performance and you've just landed in my top 5 and gained a subscriber. Very insightful and well done.

I recommend two Nightwish/Floor Jansen songs that I think will appeal to you. "Shoemaker" is a song about the NASA scientist Eugene Shoemaker, whose ashes are scattered on the moon. In this song, Floor moves through some very technically difficult singing and finishes with a display of her opera capabilities: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rjp_DfvJimg.html The second song, "Yours Is An Empty Hope" puts the opposite end of the Floor vocal spectrum on display as she goes into death metal mode. Pay close attention to Floor in the chorus as most reactors completely miss it as they don't think that a woman can sound like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DuwY1d-KIss.html Here are their tour dates with three shows in the U.S. nightwish.com/#tour

I am not a vocalist by any means. I am a huge fan of Nightwish and I love watching these videos. I will say that you explain things very well. Not being a singer, I was intrigued at your analysis and education to the voice. With all of that your pure reaction to the wonder that is Floor Jansen just made it an extremely enjoyable thing to watch. I enjoyed it and I subscribe to it and I will watch more, well done! I do hope you do more Nightwish/floor Jansen videos to get the full scope of what this woman can do. Have a great weekend

"Do you hear that?" "Hear what?" "The ground is trembling..." Looks into the horizon. "The Nightwish army... it's coming here!".

I don't know if anybody mentioned this, but this song was the closing of their set. So she did all of this after singing for a solid two hours.

Thank you for your singing examples of what she is doing. You’re the first I’ve seen who actually sings the parts. And your voice is amazing too!

Best singer on the planet, this barely scratches the surface of what Floor Jansen can do!

Welcome to Floor Jansen, the 6' Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. You've heard about 40% of what she can do. I've heard her sing rock, metal, classical aria, country, lullaby, smooth jazz, pop and musical. I've heard her sing in English, Dutch, German, Finnish, Spanish, Italian and Latin. I've heard her do deathgrowls and hold a D6 for 8 seconds. And I've heard her do all those things live on stage. Sure, there are singers who can do any of the things she does better than her, but there's only one who can do all of them and sound great and convincing doing it all. Beautiful analysis, Jess. This was a joy to watch.

I came for the NW reaction, but I must say you have a very beautiful voice and I enjoyed the snippets of it that I heard. Great job in offering the technical insights you offered, too.

It's always fun to watch someone experience Floor Jansen for the first time. Jess also brought a lot of fascinating insight to this reaction video and I learned so much! Subbed!

The Drummer on this is Jukka Nevalainen. He's a human metronome. Floor is a vocal teacher herself and has exquisite understanding and control of those gold plated pipes of hers. It also helps that she's 6 feet tall or so. She has a large chest cavity for resonance and air storage. Throw in the insane amount of work she's put into her craft, and I bet she could take in enough air to swim to the bottom of the ocean if she holds her breath. They are all amazing musicians. By the time this song turned up in the set, they had been going for a while already and they still make a live performance sound like it was done in studio.

Fantastic reaction, you know your stuff. You should do a reaction on her singing Phantom of the opera with Henk Poort .

Awesome reaction! Seems like you are Chase Carneson of Opera singers 😂 (NW reaction people will understand...it's a good thing, don't worry 😘) Btw. That experience is called *Floorgasm™*

Subscribed and I must say how enjoyable your reaction was, The nightwish Army knows how good Floor is , From the same show (Wacken open air 2013) you must see Storytime next there is an operatic part about 3/4 into it . I know this will tickle your fancy. PS she just released a cover of Heart's "Alone". you will be amazed

I loooved your reaction - the knowledge, passion, and admiration were great! Subbed!

Girl!... you have GOT to check out “Poet and the Pendulum” ....trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

I've seen al reactions to Ghost Love Score....yes, all but you are the first (skilled) reactor who is honestly saying you're jealous. Big props to you girl! Loved the whole video, great expressions.

Check out her and hank port singing phantom of the opera on beste zangers

"Oh, I wanna be there so bad!" Me: I KNOW! ME TOO!

I've been listening to Nightwish since I was 14, I'm almost 30 now.. and saw the them for the first time 3 years ago. And I legit couldn't contain myself- I cried so much. I was shook to the core. My dad and I discovered them when I was a teen and its our one band we connect with together the most. I'm so thankful for them, they got me through some of the darkest moments in my life and I still listen to them now. I'm so happy I ran into your reaction video, it brought me back to how I first felt about them and I'm tearing up even as I write this comment. LOL I also love all your commentary and appreciation for them. They really are life changing.

I'm so glad you enjoyed that moment of calm in the music. A lot of people who react to this song tend to get confused by it like ''is the song over?'' lol. But it's a beautiful part of the music that was composed for an effect!! I really hope you continue diving into nightwish! This is just the tip of the iceberg of what this band has to offer. A lot of people react to romanticide second, so that is a good option. That one can show a totally different mood and set of abilities. My personal favorite performance from this show is Storytime, so I hope you'll watch that one sometime too. :)

That was hella interesting and enjoyable to watch. Really hope you're gonna do more Nightwish in the near future!

I've seen them live 6 times. You never get used to it :) Sometimes it feels like a train is rolling over you. I don't know more than a handful of singers who could do this. World's best rock singer.

So, now you HAVE to do Floor and Henk phantom of the opera. Its my favorite rendition. That last note.. for the amount of time she holds it..

Great reaction. Now, it's time for the traditional "Welcome to Heavy Metal" reaction to Pisces from Jinjer and the their lead singer, Tatiana Shmaylyuk. Yes, it's been done to death, and yet, people never get sick of seeing reactions to that video. Check it out to find out why.

Nightwish Army, US Regiment, Pennsylvania Battalion reporting for duty. Welcome Jess to the best symphonic metal on Earth!

I love that you actually sing some notes showing exact examples instead of just talking about them! Keep up the great work!

Floor's magic is that she doesn't have "the mix" - she seems to have a blend control that allows exactly the amount of chest in her mix that she wants. There are different mix qualities in this song and as one listens to more songs, you can't help but realize how exceptional her mix control is.

Nightwish found Floor at the end of a 🌈, she’s pure gold!❤️

very educated reaction!Good job!

I avoid reaction videos unless they're by people who might have something interesting to add, and you didn't disappoint! Nice job!

Jess: takes 2 minutes out to analyse the first pretty bit in Ghost Love Score Nightwish Army: "this is going to be a LOOOONG video..." Nice one Jess: it's always a pleasure to see somebody who knows what they're talking about confirm what the rest of us feel, but can't express so well. Also, your voice is gorgeous! GLS is about 60%ish of what Floor and Nightwish can do. It's a deep rabbit hole to go down, but I've yet to see a single person regret it. The Nightwish Army will be along shortly with all the recommendations you could want. My vote? For a pro singer to react to? How's The Heart (Live Accoustic Session). Other opinions are available...

since covid19 recently i'm watching youtube more often and just find out the fact most musician or band from Nordic-Slavic are the most underrated music and one of the best in the world. besides mainstream artist in music industry such as US & UK

"I feel like she has some pipes" "She's got one of those female voices where mixing and belting really high is very comfortable for her" Me: Oh my sweet summer child

You will be getting some subscribers from this. Great reaction from a vocal expert. Start the bunny trail of watching Floor sing on RU-vid. It's endless joy!

The "My Fall" part you were referencing is the part that sent shivers down my spine the first time I heard GLS, so much raw power. What an awesome reaction, btw, full of insight, and enjoyment. Well done.

I’m pretty sure Gabriel will be along shortly to give the Nightwish low down, great reaction and breakdown, the concert was in Germany at the wacken festival, it was an epic Nightwish performance, just think you have not even stretched the surface yet. And down the NW rabbit hole we go again 🤪

WHY "GHOST LOVE SCORE" BY NIGHTWISH COULD BE THE BEST MUSICAL COMPOSITION IN THE PAST 50 YEARS I should begin by stating my music credentials, which do not include much in the way of professional training. I can read music. I took classical piano lessons in my elementary years. Started with the trumpet in high school band, but spent the last three years in the percussion section. I have been a part of a church choir from 1st grade until now. Most of the choir directors were good and a few of them were true vocal coaches. My early music appreciation was steeped in the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods from ensembles and concertos to opera and symphonies. So there's that. When I could afford to purchase my own musical selections, they were by and large rock and roll. Then the likes of Emerson Lake & Palmer, The Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and Rush came along to create a new genre called Progressive Rock. This class is defined by longer songs that usually tell a story, complex scores influenced by classical and jazz, and (usually) a bigger variety of instruments. I have been stuck in the early '70s, enjoying 50 year old favorites until about a month ago, when I discovered the next morph of Prog Rock... Symphonic Metal, which had been a thing for almost 20 years, now. I never knew this because radio stations rarely air any piece that goes beyond the average length of 2 minutes and 49 seconds. I was poking through RU-vid one day, and came across Elizabeth Zharoff's channel, where she gave her first reaction and critique of a band that she (and I) had never heard of. Nightwish! As an opera singer and voice coach, her viewers had repeatedly requested her review of "Ghost Love Score" for the superb voice quality of their lead singer, Floor Jansen. Well, both of our mouths were agape throughout the performance. (2013 live at Wacken, Germany, pronounced VAH-ken, with 82,000 fans.) I listened to Zharoff's critique with intensity, all the while feeling like I had been on a roller coaster. In order to shorten this story, I must have watched 15 or more other "first reactions" featuring this same performance of "Ghost Love Score". They ranged from nobodies, to other vocal coaches, choir directors, opera singers, metal bands, and guitarists. Either these people were great pretenders, or they were all genuinely flabbergasted with both Floor and the band. I will let each one speak for themselves. I, on the other hand, will provide my reasons for why I think this piece is so outstanding. Nightwish is a six piece band founded in 1996 in Finland. There is a bass guitar (and singer), lead guitar, synth/keyboardist (composer of most of their works), drummer, an Englishman for pipes, recorder, and oboe, and a female lead singer. Since the Fall of 2012, that has been Floor Jansen, a genuine Dutch Viking of 6' 2" with lots of classical training. One might think that this would be average except for excellent training and skill of each member playing as one, plus coordinated background recordings by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Boys' Choir. Although these great attributes apply to a majority of Nightwish scores, it is perfectly displayed in "Ghost Love Score." Remember the genre Symphonic Metal? A symphony is divided into four movements; the first movement is usually fast (allegro) and introduces the main theme, the second one is slow (adagio) and tells a story, the third is medium and louder (scherzo) and brings the story up to the point of resolution, and the fourth movement is another fast allegro or rondo, bringing back the first theme to a crescendo for the finale. "Ghost Love Score" does all of this in less than 11 minutes. The first movement opens with the drummer as the feature, pounding out an odd rhythm. It took me awhile to figure out that it was alternating measures of 6/8 time and 5/8 time, giving 11 beats to the cadence. I won't even focus on the accompanying backdrop screens and pyrotechnics going on. Not an easy trick to keep up. After a few bars, the tones are modulated up and the band settles into 4/4 time as Floor takes the microphone. The tune is soft and the voice is ethereal as the topic is introduced. This is a love that has been lost, but memories abound and a piece of the lover's heart will go forever missing. The second movement blends right in, as a change is noted in the overall broader sound structure. The music is still in 4/4 but Floor's presentation is slower, more deliberate, and adds meaningful insight to the first. In fact, she stays mostly in a chest voice, declaring the things that were and might have been. As in many symphonic pieces where one instrument copies another, the lead guitar repeats the melody that Floor sings, ending in two slide riffs, high to low. Following this adagio, there is a brief interlude (over two minutes) as Floor leaves the stage. The orchestra continues and the melody becomes more somber, adding tension as the audience holds its breath. The third movement (scherzo) blasts everyone's attention with the prominent drummer switching to 6/8 time along with keyboard, guitars and what sounds like 50 strings. Floor returns to the microphone and belts out what sounds like a sea shanty song, followed by a series of perfect pitch operatic shouts and 80,000 voices join in. Chest voice equals more power. At this point, the instruments mirror the strange 11 beat syncopation as in the beginning. A brief drum solo bridges this to the final movement. The fourth movement (allegro) by no surprise, follows suit. Dropping back to 4/4 time, the finale begins with the repeat of the opening theme, only it is more robust and it quickly builds in volume. The vocalist becomes the focal power who pushes the finale to its conclusion, nailing a long A-flat #6 for the crescendo and resolve. After reviewing what I just wrote, I realize that a synopsis of this work proves nothing of its being a masterpiece. At least, I focused more on the symphonic purity more than anyone else that I have watched. Some of the reaction people started to comment about it, until Floor started to sing and she, rightly so, became the only topic. I can only recommend that you watch and listen to "Ghost Love Score" at least three or four times. The eyes and ears will pick up on something overlooked each time. I am convinced that each member of the band not only knows their instruments, but understands music theory and could hold their own above the crowd as solo artists. I have listened to bassist Marco Hietala sing solos and he has a magnificent voice. I have listened to Floor Jansen sing the cover for the country song "Shallow," proving her multi-style talent. This specific composition, however, brings them all to the perfection of a well-oiled machine, becoming a sum much greater than the parts. To arrange and perform the multiple time signatures and stay in perfect synch with instruments, vocals, and even the insertion of prerecorded philharmonics at the appropriate places is nothing but masterful. Floor Jansen happens to be the third vocal lead for Nightwish and is the perfect fit. She sings with confidence, without trying to overshadow the other members. She exudes passion and energy, mixing her vocal styles from, lullaby, to folk, to metal growl and shouts, to opera. She engages with the fans dramatically, like she is singing to one listener. Quite frankly, I have never heard a voice like hers, and switching between angelic and blowing the roof off the stage in perfect tune has left me, along with all of the "first reaction" RU-vidrs, just speechless. Several have displayed the goose bumps on their arms, while others have been moved to tears. In conclusion, I can only say that "Ghost Love Score" pulls the listener into the story. It is the culmination of a 40-minute symphonic piece and a 3-hour opera that must be consumed in 10-1/2 minutes. It is both beautiful and exhausting, but definitely an experience. If Beethoven were alive today, would he have composed something like this? I think "Ghost Love Score" will stand the test of time as the best of this era.

Great explanations of the technical aspects of Floor’s vocals.

The army is marching...prepare thyself!

We’re gonna need more chairs army incoming

Can confirm seeing this band, this singer, and this particular song live is an experience beyond compare. I may have spent certain portions of it in tears both times.

I typically go on RU-vid to watch a video here and there without even being logged in, so I never subscribed to any channels. I kept telling myself some day I would log in and subscribe to some channels, but months and years kept going by without me doing so. Well, today is that day. I logged in and subscribed immediately after the video finished! Your review was incredible and I look forward to spending time on your channel and watching more of them -- especially if you review more from Floor Jansen and Nightwish!

05:15 Congratulations on your first Floorgasm! Private 1st Class Beth: Nightwish Army, Andalucia Regiment.

Welcome to Nightwish.. I loved your reaction and your technical commentary on her singing. Hope you gonna do more of them songs. Thank you 🤘

Fantastic reaction and welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. This woman (band) will never cease to amaze.

Wow, amazing review! The expert explanations about her voice were really cool, and it was very funny to see your reactions to the different parts of the song ( and I did had my fair share of reviews of this song in the quarantene! lol ) Fun fact.. This year I got back in the Nightwish spiral after some years apart and the guys were like.. "floorgasm" this and floorgasm that.. and I was like.. dude, gross! But you know what, that last part of this performance is totally a floorgasm. She's a total badass! The dudes are totally flooding your channel, welcome to the Nightwish army! :)

Well, there's "The Hu" you can react to... probably it will be new to you in many ways.

Great reaction! GLS is the gateway drug for NW and Floor Jansen. Her versatility is astounding. Be sure to check out all of Floor's performances on the Dutch show "Beste Zangers".

Congrats on your first of many Floorgasms. Enjoy more from Wacken 2013! 🔥🤙

Floor also does an amazing Phantom of the Opera moment :) it is everything! Also I love your videos! Thank you for reacting to this!

My first time watching a full performance by Floor. I don’t listen to metal music but my friend does and Floor is his favorite singer. I knew she was versatile but I was shocked at those belts at the end. I think I’m starting to become a fan

Continue down this path with a new artist. One that always gives the reactor a big boost like floor does. Jinjer - Pisces. Also, home free - man of constant sorrow

I've seen them. It's like a roller coaster lifetime... loving, hurting, crying, screaming, swooning, peace and punching the air like an idiot. I've seen a LOT of 'legends', many in their prime, but nothing, nothing like Nightwish live.

I was there in 2013 , and i saw the godess for the first time , this is only a part of she can do , the most versatile singer in the world, her voice and breathing control is insane , if you want a crazy belting try" everdream " same concert , for her versatility and for now , she released today a cover of " alone " from heart , and you can check also her prestation on dutch show " best zangers" she did 7 or 8 songs but "phantom of the opera" with henk poort is the highlight of the show. Greetings from Portugal.

Please continue the Nightwish journey. It’s a life changing experience! Floor can sing anything from opera to death growls. She is super versatile! About a year ago she was on a Dutch Tv show called Beste Zangers and she did 6 solo songs and 2 duets. She sang in 4 different languages. She did a German opera song called Vilja Lied and she did Phantom of the Opera with the original Dutch Phantom Henk Poort. It recently hit 10 million views. The night it was aired it broke the internet. Also check out her personal YT channel. She has been releasing covers cause she misses singing so much. 1st cover was Let it Go (Frozen) and today she released Alone (Heart). And yes her breath control is ridiculous. According to Floor she has the lungs of a diver. Looking at your reaction you just experienced your first Floorgasm 🤘🏻❤️

I have seen them live twice, even when they play small venues, the performance is just as epic. I highly recommend it

I must have watched this performance a thousand times and I still get the same goosebumps all over me as the first time. As a band there above all and as a singer floor is a goddess x your journey with them has only just begun that believe it or not is just scratching the surface 👍loved your reaction so I've subbed x

You have just stumbled into an amazing rabbit hole, welcome in.

Yes! Thank you, Jess! I love hearing the analysis from a trained professional like yourself who appreciates true singing skills. Absolutely love your reaction. One of the best I have ever seen. Just awesome!

Best reaction and analysis I’ve seen by a pro to this song, and there are many

Your'e breakdown was fascinating from an opera singers point of view on how things she did that fascinated you throughout the song. Gabriel from nightwish has no doubly responded with a great list of song and prder from nightwish, but also check out her performances on the besta zangers show(she does a duet with Henk Poort with phantom of the opera, Henk also does the sounds of silence for Floor). Another great one song is Sancta Terra from the Band Epica with Floor doing a duet with Simone

I LOVED your take on this video. Wow. My first video of yours. SUBSCRIBED! GR8 job!!!!

I've heard several vocal coaches, singers, a few operasinges reacting to Nightwish and your reaction was one of the most informative, appreciating the whole band, not just the female vocalist Floor Jansen. I want you to know that Marko Hietala, the bassist, is a great vocalist too, and Floor and Marko on vocals together complement each other perfectly. If you want to dive in deep to Nightwish live performances you might want save the other two big ones for later. If you're going to react to only a couple of other songs by Nightwish they shoud be "The Poet and the Pendulum" Wembley Arena 2015 (14 minutes), and "The Greatest Show on Earth" Tampere 2015 (20+ minutes). Please find out what these songs are about before reacting to them so you can make the most of them. If you decide to take the longer route, then here are my suggestions to your next Nightwish reaction: "7 Days to the Wolves" Wembley 2015, "Weak Fantasy" Tampere 2015, "I Want My Tears Back" Buenos Aires 2018 (The title of the video may say 2019) If you want to stick to Wacken 2013 then "Ever Dream" Official Live. In all of the performances mentioned vocals by Floor and Marko. Tuomas Holopainen a.k.a Metal Mozart, is the main man, mastermind, the band founder in 1996, leader, main composer, lyrics writer and arranger. Greetings from Helsinki Finland! Looking forward to more Nightwish reactions!

This was a really awesome reaction. Very glad you are here now to react to our goddess Floor and this incredible band. Immediately subscribed! Greetings from the Netherlands.

Check out some of her stuff on Beste Zangers. She's turns everything she sings in to gold

I was there at that concert and it was an amazing experience. I've seen Nightwish live several times and they are always top-notch.

Of the various youtubers commenting on this song you have by far the best voice.

Welcome to what we call the "Floorgasm". I also really like how you have a great technical analysis as opposed to many reaction channels that just say "this is nice". This was a pleasure to watch! P.S.: I've seen Floor perform live many times since 2002

you really should react to ever dream - nightwish marco is singing as well

Welcome to the NIGHTWISH EXPERENCE!!
