Remembering Tarja and discovering Floor's version of I Wish I had an Angel! Reaction style! 

In case you didn't know, Emppu is playing his signature ESP EV1... Shoutout to everyone who gets the referance :)

The best way to go around of question "who's best singer" is to state "Marko"

I know most people compare them but I never will. Tarja’s the reason I fell in love with nightwish and symphonic metal, Floor’s the reason I still love them. They’re both phenomenal singers and I can’t choose!

Floor is a natural part of a 6 member band, that all works together on creating the best performance of the song.

And the winner is: Tuomas who wrote such an amazing song!

I am so Happy to see you guys rediscover Nightwish!! Keep it up!

Tarja always felt like she was floating on top of the music. While Floor sounds like she is part of the music.

Nightwish with Floor simply takes you on a well-being tour

This is in no way meant to disrespect Tarja in any way. She was the original and is a great vocalist in her own right but in my opinion it’s simply not fair to compare anyone to Floor because she’s incomparable! Truly like bringing a knife to a gunfight, especially live where she reigns supreme as the undisputed queen of metal, again in my opinion. I’ve watched this entire Wacken 2013 show several times and she is literally flawless on every single song as is the entire band!

Tarja has a great voice but I prefer Floor’s voice cause of her versatility & chemistry with the rest of the band. A perfect fit, a match made in heaven if you ask me!!

People get so b!tchy about comparing the two singers, unfortunately... But they seem to forget that this is your channel, and you're ALLOWED TO HAVE A FAVOURITE! I loved Tarja, she was awesome, and she definitely has a place in my playlist and heart, as she was my introduction to NW so many years ago... but the fact is I love Floor more. She's a lot more versatile, and you can see that the band is happier, too. People need to get over it. It's been 15 years since Tarja left Nightwish. By saying you like one singer more is NOT saying you don't like the other one too. So stop being so aggressive to these RU-vidrs by posting mean comments and being petty by pressing the dislike button. Anyway, rant over.... thanks for the react guys :) I look forward to more NW songs from you!!!

Floor...all day every day. And it's not just the voice, it's the chemistry with the rest of the band, the attitude, stage presence and extra little touches that she brings to every performance.

"Floor is my angel"

I know which version I like more... but then again, I'm Dutch.

Thomas already said if floor leaves there's no Nightwish because she is irreplaceable. There's your answer on who's the best 👌

In this song, Tarja and Marko have moments of sheer gorgeousness singing together but it isn't the continual melding the that you get with Floor and Marko. It takes one hell of a band not to be overpowered by the talent of each of these members.

Marko have said that he was so happy when Floor joined, that ment that he'd never have to hold back when singing anymore. When this was recorded Floor had been the bands replacement singer for ten months after Anette was fired in the middle of the world tour. Floor did her first show with Nightwish on Oct.1st 2012, this was recorded Aug 3rd 2013.

The quality of the Wacken 2013 show is just so good. But beyond that and beyond the actual vocals, there is a unique togetherness and magic in this Wacken show.

Tarja was a great Lead (with a backup band). Floor is a great Band Member (as one integrated unit).

I can't count how many times i have heard the song and others by Floor, the songs performed by her never get bored, every time you notice something new, fresh, they are all multi-layered with different colors and brightness, Flor does not just sing, she plays a role, tells a story, Tarja is not bad, but monotonous and not artistic. But the most important thing in the songs is their author Tuomas, it is his composing talent that allows both Floor and Annette and Tarja to shine

"She's part of the band" - You absolutely hit the nail on the head. As unbelievably talented as Tarja was (is) and as much as she interacted with the band, I never got the feeling that she was part of the band. She always seemed to stand somewhat apart from them - not physically but in attitude. I am not putting Tarja down - I love her and her voice, but Floor is genuinely part of the band.

Who is better , Tarja or Floor? Who cares , they are booth Fantastic!

Floorgasm! So many I cant count them... Heck, such perfection, power... fantastic!

iIt was the version with Tarja that made me love this band so much BUT the version with Floor singing is what i prefer.

I love Floors voice it just has so much emotion in it whenever she sings and then her blending with Marco is just perfect, nothing to take away from Tarja she is a great singer and performer but if I have a choice, which I have, I prefer to listen to Floor's versions. Thanks for the great reaction!

Marko wins, because he sings in both versions.

15:15 "This chick was meant to be in Nightwish" ....fully agree !

There's no denying Tarja had /has a great voice but she was one dimensional. Floor can do it all and do it beautifully. She is the perfect fit for Nightwish.

No doubt: Miss Floor Jansen Queen of Metal 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Both have beautiful strong voices. I like both versions. But in my opinion, there are two differencies. First i think, that beyond their well-trainded voices, Floor can awake much more better different emotions in all songs and in consequence at the listeners. That brings me to the second obvious difference. The music of Nightwish lightens the voice of Tarja, but Floor brings the music to shine!

100 points guys. With Tarja they where good, but with Floor fabulous and brilliant

I agree the shear joy the have is so captivating. You two MUST look at their Buenos Aires performance in 2015 of I want my tears back, I have never seen such interaction, pleasure and joy on stage....🤘🤘

No doubt Floor gives me goosebumps, with Tarja I have a problem hearing the text.

I'm OG Nightwish fan, since Oceanborn, so Tarja was our original goddess :) It was so sad to see them let her go, but for understandable reasons. Nightwish magic looked ruined forever with Anette, cause she couldn't do any of that Tarja stuff from first 5 albums. Thankfully Tuomas realized this experiment isn't working (although she was good for those two studio albums but terrible for live). Bringing Floor to the band was brilliant move, she really resurrected Nightwish and gave them another dimension, and she can sing everything from any Nightwish era. I'd agree she is better and more diverse vocalist than Tarja, but I loved Tarja's operatic voice with Nightwish music so much, made them totally unique. But I cannot be happier we have Floor now, I cannot imagine anyone else doing what she does, I hope she never leaves

As much as I love Tarja, and I do love her truly, it's undeniable that Floor is on a very different level. She's technically flawless and so versatile. And I agree with you when yoy say that Floor seduces you with her voice, she's beyond!

This would be the song that got me into Nightwish back in 2004.

Nice reaction! And nice t-shirts too. :D The Tarja performance you picked is from End of an era, very good show indeed, but also the last one with Tarja performing with Nightwish, she was fired right after this. So the differences between them had already grown to their climax at that point. Its clear to see that she is indeed a bit more distant from the guys there. That whole show is quite interesting to watch with the historie of Nightwish in mind. Whenever you get to Poet and the pendulum that whole situation will be interesting to research. Personally I love that we have multiple and quite different versions of these same songs to enjoy now. To me both are equally enjoyable. :)

Tarja & Marko & Floor. Kiitos.

Love your reaction guys. You had 39 dislikes (Ghost Love Score ) From who? Well. .the Tarja trolls. Don't let them lure you in by playing Tarja videos. If you love Floor and Nightwish, that is the way to go. IMO. Peace out

On a scale of 10, Tarja's probably an 8. Floor however, is a 100. I only found NW a little over a year ago, but I am sure I would never have been a fan in the Tarja era. She's talented, no doubt, but her stage vibe is a tad creepy and as you said, I've never seen a video with her where she looks comfortable within the band. Maybe I'm prejudiced by the known history, but she looks like a loner up there. Floor however, looks like what you'd imagine if you played a track without vocals and said "who should be the lead vocalist?" Everything about her fits and I think makes NW complete.

Marco has said that one of the reasons he loves singing with Floor is that he doesent have to hold back he can give it all when he sings. he doesent have to hold back out of fear of overpowering their voices. with Floor he can give it 100%

Floor is untouchable. No other vocalist can even come close to her.

The band is happy..they respect eachother..they respect the fans. They all give 100%!! Floor is awesome, our Dutch queen🤘❤️

Ah floor is just amazing she's a goddess!! She is what they were missing all along

When I see Floor it's like I'm crushing on her!? I'm a Floor Girl🖤🖤🖤

It is hard to not love Tarja, but I am forever Floor... ever since After Forever... She has always blown me away... Tarja is lovely to hear, but for *ME* I prefer Floor.

Floor everytime

Tarja was the opera singer that sang with Nightwish. But Floor is part of the band that has an operatic voice. Marko just kills it. I think his singing is underrated. Marko and Floor singing together is what makes this song.

Tarja is amazing. But Floor...... She is unbelivable good. You can do the same with the Song "ever dream" Same Shows

I think Floor and Marko's voices go together the best honestly, taking nothing away from Tarja.

Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean and/or Dead Boys Poem Live from Buenos Aires are two oldies Floor crushed - got to check out

You come to basically the exact same conclusion I came to with Nightwish. Tarja is a really good singer, but Floors versatility and her personality fits the actual music and the emotions it tries to transport so much better, that the result is far superior to any single individual can ever be.

I love Tarja, but all opera gets old to me after a while. I love how Floor can be operatic, but still bring more of the metal aggression sometimes. Many times when Tarja is singing opera with that angelic voice, Floor is belting out with max power. It gives the music a heavier edge in my opinion. Tuomas is in the perfect situation for his writing abilities to take his musical creations in any direction possible. Peace out.

Yes, we ALL want to be that mic stand... Great work guys, keep it up!

floor > tarja. greetings from finland

In terms of queens ... Tarja is the queen who owns you. Floor is the queen you want because you were a good boy and you know you deserve it. 🤘😎🤘

I only discovered Nightwish a few months ago and started by listening to Wacken 2013 and later concerts. While all three singers have versions of songs I like best since I started listening to Nightwish with Floor as a singer, for most songs I like her versions best. However, I am not sure these comparisons serve any purpose. Everyone should pick the version they like best and saying that one is better than the other is pointless. Taste is personal and we all have different preferences. There is also the factor that people develop and grow as well as the different times in which the songs were created/performed. The expectations and tastes of the public/fans were different. Most importantly I feel that comparing different performers is pointless in general and creates an "us versus them" vibe where people start defending their preference/taste because they may feel attacked because all people want to belong to the "winning/best team.

FLoor incredible not normal . Marco amazing voice brilliant with Floor. Amazing Floor is Number One Female voice of this world

Ive loved nightwish for well over a decade... but i think i finally figured something out. Back with Tarja and Anette i loved the studio versions of the music the concerts weren't bad but they were nothing compared to the current Floor era. Floor just sounds better live everything feels more cohesive it just flows.. obviously the band as learned a lot over the years as far as live performances and they have better crews and editors so its not just because Floor is there but i do think she makes a big difference. FYI i will always love the original albums. ^_^

Tarja has an amazing voice, but I like to listen to Floor for a number of reasons. First off, Floor is an amazing story teller, because you can feel the emotion she is putting into her songs. Secondly, she gives credit to her band mates, as well as the crowd, so she comes across as a humble super star. Third, I'm just a sucker for the whole Valkyrie Goddess look. haha. Thank you for reacting to Nightwish.

Slaying the Dreamer/Wishmaster from that same show!! (Tarja as vocals)

ps floor was with after forever and tarja was in nightwish same tour.

It jumped to 2K 👍🏻 You’re welcome! 😁 Thanks for these video’s!

Floor is definitely my favorite (sorry Marko) but Tarja set the standard: without Tarja they would never have needed Floor. Floor actually takes on the mood of the song and you hear it in her voice. They have used the same guy to direct most of their live videos and thank GOD he eventually learned how to direct... those fast zooms are something a guy with his first video camera thinks are cool.

Floor is screaming and her voice sounds thin at higher notes while Tarja maintains her warm/lusciousness/haunting even at higher notes. Tarja introduced me to symphonic metal.

And it's FLOOR for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

floors bestie is simone simon from epica. they were flatmates way back. it gets very complicated with all the links in europe.

It's so awesome when the cam is on the crowd and you see a bunch of crowdsurfers at the same time. Something magical about it.

Floor is just something elite level the best

I wish I could add a like to this video every time I come back to listen to it.

That is exactly how I feel! I just found them by accident and I haven't gotten past this song. Tarja, Tarja Floor duet, Floor I love them all so it's I'm still loving them. Oh and MARCO is also why I love them!

Floor all the way!! Everytime Floor sings, goosebumps all the time!!! 🥰

When Traja is singing with Marko it is a fanastic backing fill. When Floor sings with Marko, she gives him a mountain to stand on ( I have said the later before, but this vid really brings it into focus).

I have been waiting for your next Nightwish reaction. Keep them coming!!!

You really need to watch Marko and Floor mesh on Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean in Buenos Aries. It's perfection.

Welcome to the Nightwish army, even with at least 20 years delay!

Floorrrrr❤

The relationship between the band and Tarja has not been good for a long time, which makes understandable the distance between Tarja and the other members of the group. Because of this situation, about 2 years before recording this show that you just watched, Tarja said that she would be leaving the band. Everyone agreed, then, that before the change of vocalist, another album would be recorded after "Once". It turns out that the group changed their mind and secretly plotted Tarja's resignation through a letter, which was delivered to her just after the song you just heard. The following day, this same letter was published on the band's website.

Tarja....❤❤❤💋💋💋💋🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍

The first time I heard Nightwish was with Tarja "Ever Dream" before they split up ...I had goosebumps all over my body her strong and dark voice...I loved her, no singer even Floor could make me relive that

I've only recently gone down the Nighwish rabbit hole, and it was this Wacken Ghost Love Score that took me there. I did go back and watch some stuff with Tarja and felt the same. She seems like something separate from the band as a whole. And separate from the crowd as well. It's hard to explain, but when you've played in bands and seen hundreds more it really stands out. Floor simply commands the stage and acts like some kind of super conductor between the band and audience, and even with no sound you can watch this happen. On top of that, I'm not even sure she was an official member at this show, as she was standing in for Annette who quit halfway in the tour. So Floor is, over the course of this performance, winning over the audience. Is really an amazing thing to watch, and not something that happens very often at all. Fantastic video guys, loved it.

well, I personally don't like to compare, cause everyone is different, both singers are unique in their art, their craft, I love both singers equally, yes both versions sound different that's why I like both songs

Great reaction, you guys, keep them coming

Floor can be versatile but I prefer Tarja! My bad. 🤷🏽‍♀️

that was a great reaction. enjoyed it. and I liked, that you first had the tarja version (her last concert with nw I believe) and then with floor in wacken. thank you. greetings from germany.

floor is just on another level

hello, christian from France, I love your completely crazy reactions, I discovered so many bands thanks to you and I enjoy Lovabites and Band Maid, thank you keep it up....

I really do not like when people "compare" them. They are both amazing in what they do. Just enjoy them both and stop trying to pit them against each other!

The faces of Tuomas and Marco when they stopped last song of that set....Minutes later they fired Tarja after that concert.

"the two vocalists" Poor Annette 😂😂😂😂

Flooooooooooooor!!! No1 comes even close

10:39 gotta love when Emppu is rocking out so hard that he's headbanging in a powerstance so low that he's almost teabagging the stage 😂🤘

Tarja is ok i suppose but i never heard of nightwish and then i heard Ghost love score 2013........so for me there is no comparison, Floor Jansen is divine😱so beautiful 😮 Nightwish with Floor Jansen is just breathtaking❤️

you can't compare ONE flavour with FULL flavours ... :)

I'm just here for him. His voice always brings me back, and his faces make me grin

We also can say we’re lucky we could be able to watch and enjoy them via DVD or RU-vid although we couldn’t be there live at Wacken. Yes Tarja (mostly) are off sync. This was one of the issues between NW and Tarja. Especially in the last years Tarja did not attend rehearsals prior to their concerts cause she had other priorities. (See: Open Letter to Tarja Turunen) Someone said once: Tarja is about showing, but Floor is about giving. Finally the band is in total balance now.

Hahaha jullie zijn zo leuk 😘 and you are right, tarja was a singer, floor is part of the band

Firstly....I do NOT play favorites with the singers from Nightwish. They ALL have a place in Nightwish lore and have all contributed fabulously to their repertoire. Having said that, and having followed NW since the mid 90's, I will say that I never felt that Tarja sang "to" the crowd, but more like "at" the crowd. She definitely gave off a vibe that she was somehow above or apart from that connection. Personally I love her vocals, her timbre and tone are breathtaking, but she never connected the way that Floor, and to a lesser extent Annette, does. Musically, I love both, but when it comes to actually being at the concert I am absolutely in the Floor camp. She just radiates genuine love for the crowd and for the music. Her crowd control is second to none, and her power, control, range and vocal nuance are simply not human. I am convinced that she is actually a human form of the Valkyrie queen herself, come to us to try and set us on the right path again. It also helps that they can fully unleash Marco with Floor, as he tended to overpower Tarja at times and had to "tone it down" a bit, but he can go full out with Floor singing since they both have huge power and register, they blend so well together. Love your folks reactions, please keep doing what you do! Cheers from Canada.

Tarja era genial. Pero claramente el feeling y talento de floor junto a Marko, es de otro planeta

dang haven't watched a reaction of you yet. but that was really lovely. subscribed and liked. keep on doing Nightwish from time to time. there is more to love in Floor's era.
