Vocal Coach reacts to Nightwish - Ghost Love Score 

Keyboard Dude: Dark Wizard Guitarist: Elf Bassist: Viking Drummer: Pirate Singer: Valkyrie

Every Nightwish fan: "I see Nightwish, I click"

"She's been a mermaid and now she's a Viking Warrior!" - Beth Roars. I think this metaphor of yours is just lovely and very accurate! ^^

She's like a mermaid - said the beautiful redhead wearing green ;-)

Great reaction. Explanations help us non-vocal trained understand her beautiful vocal delivery. And she did this toward the end of the set.

The really mind blowing thing to me is that she had only been performing this song for about 2 months at this point. She was an emergency replacement Singer, in the middle of a tour with 48 hours to learn the songs, and this was 2 months later. She did it nearly this well almost immediately from what I can tell. Just crazy talented.

"Ghost Love Score" is an incredible composition and it's sung here with incredible talent, but this video really puts into perspective how amazing it is. When a trained vocal coach well-versed in musical talent and capability looks like she's having an out-of-body experience, you know she's hearing something really good. I love your reactions and I love your explanations.

Classical instruments and Metal music is like peanut butter & jelly, they're not supposed to work together but they do!!!

Welcome to Nightwish, they are incredible. I’ve heard them in concert here in the US, in 2015 and again last year in 2018. Among the best concerts I’ve ever heard in my life and I am a senior citizen and have heard so many good ones! Floor Is known for her versatility and singing as you noticed.

One of the things I like most about Floor is that she presents herself as so down to earth in interviews. She seems like a genuinely nice and sincere person.

People crying aren't sad... they are moved by the music. I went to Nightwish concerts 3 times... and I had tears in my eyes the WHOLE show. The end of the shows were... painful.

Nightwish hit gold with Floor Janssen.

Yeah, still can't watch this song without tearing up. Such an epic song and performance. The Wacken 2013 live one is even more epic.

Floor Janssen is the most versatile singer I’ve ever heard. If you want to hear something impressive, check out Romanticide live at Wacken 2013. She does a multi octave chromatic slide from the bottom of her range to the top and back down smooth as butter. that banshee wail is honestly one of the most impressive vocal feats I’ve ever heard.

That last note still gives me chills. Simply amazing. 😍

So, I've seen a ton of these "Vocal Coach reacts to Ghost Love Score" and you're definitely the best one I've seen, calling out every switch and different style the Floor puts out in this song! That was great reaction/review/commentary video!

13:57 - here is the best reaction I've ever seen to this song!

Symphonic metal is in my opinion the best music. It is tenderness and brutality. It is sorrow and anger. It is euphoric catharsis of deep anguish. I always envision things like The battle of Dorylaeum when the soldiers held the line for hours under archer fire to protect the non-combatants. Or during the great depression a father eating moldy bread at work for lunch so he can bring home milk or eggs. It is the music of poetry.

One thing I love so much about Floor is that she's been doing this for a long time, over 20 years, and has been just as good all along. She just has not received the recognition she deserved until now. Stepping into this role with Nightwish and taking in that spotlight must feel amazing for her. Plus she's so confident in her capabilities, it's fun to watch and hear her.

She makes me just melt with that "my fall" part she gives me chills and tears every freaking time.

Their bassist, Marco, is also a really good vocalist too, he did a great Ave Maria duet with Floor. Floor is insanely talented, she has a huge range and can go from death metal growls to pop/rock to classical in a heartbeat.

Fun fact, Floor Jansen is also a Vocal Coach, and the third singer in Nigtwish :) Tarja Turunen, was the bands first singer, she was the most operatic singer. Listen to Phantom of the opera - The "End of and era" concert :)

I have seen so many “vocal coach reacts to Floor Jensen” video. The ironic part is, Floor herself is a vocal coach...

They couldn’t have possibly found a better singer, the world is blessed to have Floor singing for Nightwish, it’s just the best

Fun fact, at the time of this video, Floor had only been part of the band for about 2-3 months (I don't know the exact date it was recorded, but it's from 2012 and she started october 2012). She replaced the original vocalist mid-tour on very short notice (it's said to have been about 2 days) and this video was most likely published to show the fans that they could actually pull it off, and to show Nightwish had only grown stronger by the switch. The wacken 2013 version of the same song appears even more polished as she's had more time to grow into her role.

Watch the documentary "Please Learn the Set List in 48 Hours", and you might begin to appreciate what a bar of gold Floor Jansen really is!

She certainly brings a new meaning to the expression "getting Floored".

Floor is the greatest female vocalist I have ever had the pleasure of hearing live. I experienced actual tears of joy. The entire show, every band member, just amazing.

Vocal coach reacted to a vocal coach!

I am so glad that I got to see the band on stage! I cried during their performance. Floor is amazing!

floor is definitely one of a kind, her vocal range is just insane and its so clear and she does it effortlessly, its just amazing.

I love the expression on the guitarist's face when she throws out that last note. That's some pure musical love right there!

Beth is having a floorgasm like the rest of us fans of Nightwish.

Great reaction and explanation of her vocals. Floor spends a lot of time using more modern techniques rather than classical. I really would like to see your explanations for: - "Your is an Empty Hope" (live at Wembley), not only because of the growls she does there, but also because of her overall agressive singing in it, including some belts with distortion on top (or that's what I was told it was, but I haven't studied singing, so...) And you'll also get to hear the bassist, who also has an incredible voice. - "7 Days to the Wolves" (live at Barona Arena); which is a very emotional song, and she expresses a full range of emotions in it, and different ways of singing. The high notes (which, as far as I can tell are not head voice, but strong and beefy) are incredible in this song.

When Beth's mouth drops as Floor starts singing.. Me: "aye there it is!" Lol

Just recently got into these reaction type videos, finding them a lot of fun. Got to say though the quality varies somewhat, and Beth here is the best one I've seen so far. Keep it up young lady!!

As impressive as this is it's from one of her first performances with the band and she's still finding her comfortable places in songs written for other women with different styles, in the Wacken performance she's all in and takes it over the top

Epica - Sancta Terra ft Floor Jansen (live )

One of the most amazing things about Floor's performance in this song (and in many other Nightwish songs), is that these songs where never meant for her. They were written with a different voice in mind, and she just made them hers in a couple of weeks.

Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That lady wasn't sad, just touched. I love Argentina for their immense public, they jump, dance, sing with solos, excellent. One of the live shows of AC/DC the whole fricking arena jumps up and down, that alone just never fails to give goosebumps all over my body

Whoa that was a good reaction. Brace yourself, you are about to be inundated by requests for some more Nightwish performances. This song showed you some of what she can do, but oh boy can she do more! So I will get that request ball rolling with some suggestions; Romanticide Live at Wacken 2013 (she goes even higher!) The Poet and the Pendulum Live at Wembley for an absolute masterpiece performance by the entire band. It is also worth looking at the original singer for the band (Tarja taurunen) and their performance of Phantom of the Opera (End of an Era)

Oh man. I am used to watching the 2013 live at Wacken version, which is my favourite.... but the high note at the end here gave me an even more intense chill than the 2013 version. Floor is a Goddess!

Always lovely to see great reactions to performers from someone who knows what they are talking about - you had me smiling and enthused along with you :).

ah, too bad it wasn't the wacken theatre performance, that one was so much more powerful to me, and with more voice control for sure. But still Floor just absolutely rocks live stuff, its great!

Beth: aren't you glad we asked for this? Floor is a Goddess!

Every time I watch these reaction videos I'm praying that they hear the final note without stopping or talking. When she stopped I immediately screamed "noo!" 🤣🤣 Nevermind, great video 👍

I'm sure you don't go back to you old reacts but thanks for introducing me to Nightwish. Now realise she had only been with them 2 months here and learned complete set in 48 hours. Their latest album is amazing and her vocal gymnastics.... WOW.

More Nightwish!!! The Poet and the Pendulum needs to be next!

When you say about nightwish playing with an orchestra that's been a dream for us nightwish fans for years now

This is what they call a Floorgasm. 😉 I love the reactions when Floor gives that final high note. Jaws usually drop, it's inevitable.

From a description to a class :D lovely to see you amazed. You are so professional, honest and beautiful.

This and The Greatest Show on Earth are her favourites. Check out the one recorded at Tampere.

Just 1 minute in and I have to give you thumbs up just for picking this particular video. It''s by far my favorite version with Floor. It's just powerful and amazing. Always makes me cry a little.

14:03 - Tuomas reaching climax after realising how perfectly executed his master piece was. Well done, maestro!

Every time I listen to this, I always seem to forget it is Live because she sounds so amazing and the band is fucking fantastic lol

Seeing them live in Milwaukee in 2016 remains one of the great memories of my life. Love seeing Beth's incredulous moments, like, "Wow, did Floor just do that?!"

Thank you for your great reaction Beth! As more people here have pointed out, there is another official live version of this song, from the Wacken 2013 concert. I can imagine that it would not be a priority to do another reaction video of the same song. But if you would find the time, I strongly recommend you do - and compare that version to the one you just saw. You may wonder why, since there are so many songs that have multiple live versions online. Well, in the video you have watched, Floor Jansen was only in the band for two months, after she had to step in for their previous singer unplanned. The Wacken concert is about eight months after this version and for most fans is the ultimate rendition of this song. Floor has perfected her vocal performance whilst on tour, especially on this song that is her personal favorite. This for me is perhaps her biggest talent, the ability to continue to improve on an already applauded performance. Although I would loooove to name all the points on which her Wacken vocal performance is better, it will not do that here (yet ;) since that may take away the incentive for you to do a comparison. I can only say that as a vocal coach, you will see a big difference :)

It's a really interesting performance, seriously. Feels like the first part of the song is Tarja-ish, transitioning to Anette-ish, and then going into full Floor and really making it her own at the end :)

Doesn't matter how many times I hear thing song, Floor's voice just washes over you EVERY TIME I HEAR IT, it's just masterful in every way!

Great reaction Beth! To give Floor even more credit, this song is usually the last song of the set, so before this there were roughly two hours of singing! She is the perfect fit for Nightwish, I was at their tour finishing concert a month ago and hearing her perform this was absolutely amazing. Their song Greatest Show On Earth (Live Tampere) is great, oh the emotions when the whole arena of 10000+ people sings together "we were here!" Nightwish's original singer Tarja Turunen is worth a listen, too. For example Phantom of the Opera (live End of an Era.) One thing to remember doing Nightwish reactions, always choose live version. The band is Finnish, Floor is Dutch and the third singer. Thanks, keep on doing these!

To listen to your arguments is so exciting while watching your reaction, amazing. Nightwish, one of my favorites. Could you try phantom of the opera with Tarja as nightwish vocalist?

Absolutely loved your thoughts and reaction to Floor - seeing someone hear it for the first time, especially someone like you who knows the kind of talent it takes to do so, is so pure and enjoyable. Keep up the great work!

I got to see them live once. Its every bit as emotionally and impressive in person, it was overwhelming.

I love you reacted to this, recently you’ve reacted to a lot of my favourite songs so have subscribed so I don’t miss anything. You can’t go wrong with any of the waken 2013 songs from nightwish. Also poet and the pendulum at Wembley will blow you away. Please react to more from them. If you have a spare 20 mins or so the greatest show on earth at Tampere is well worth listening to.

The strings are actually recorded by the London Philharmonia Orchestra. The same orchestra that recorded the LOTR soundtracks, so I’m not surprised you made that connection 😂. Also: if you want her more rock sounding stuff: Ghost River (she growls) and Romanticide are great ones. Both are live at Wacken 2013. Another is The Poet and the Pendulum Live at Wembley 2015. This one is dear to Tuomas’ heart because he basically committed suicide in song form due to what had happened with the departure of the first singer, Tarja. The one who you most likely thought of. The current singer is Floor Jansen, and in this video she had only been with the band for two weeks. Ghost Love Score is one of her favourites to sing.

Your reactions are priceless... I love how a giant smile just comes over you when someone does something special. I actually feel myself smiling (or tearing up in some cases). Amazing how much emotion a singer like her can provoke.

First time replying to your videos after watching several, but this one caught my eye. I really enjoyed how you analyzed this, breaking down her styles, but also how much you seemed to enjoy it, how you invested you felt into the song as well as her talent It was a joy to watch. Thanks for this video :) Side note: I'm 37, I grew up with this music in high school. It's a pleasure to see others enjoy it as much as I did!

And thats a Floorgasm!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Symphonic metal and my favourite song of all time, well band for that matter... The girl at 07:41 isn't sad, the atmosphere at a live Nightwish show is so emotional and intense, it's hard not to let your feelings take over... this was almost myself when I first went to see them live last year, after loving them for 15 years lol. Other Nightwish songs you should react to are: Nightwish - Romanticide live at Wacken 2013 Nightwish - Yours is an empty hope live Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley Nightwish - The greatest show on earth live at Tampere. Another band similar to Nightwish are called Epica, they are slightly heavier though... for them I would love you to check out and react to: Epica - Consign to Oblivion live at the Zenith Epica - Kingdom of Heaven live Epica - Sancta Terra featuring Floor Jansen. Epica - Unchain Utopia official live. Please and Thank you!

Thanks again Beth, one of my all time favorite reacions...

The most amazing thing is that here Floor isn't a member of the band, just a guest singer. She's only been doing this for 3 months here.

Nightwish always brings tears to my eyes. Glad I was able to see them live once.

Great reaction! Thank you for pausing and explaining the technique behind her vocal work! It really made me understand more. You're a great teacher! :)

It sucks that bands like this don't get more recognition.

This was my first song I listened to from Nightwish. You can see why I really enjoyed the film clip. Epic all in one.

Funny, the singer you were describing in the beginning was Tarja (tar-i-ya). This is Floor (flor), who is trained in pop, rock, classical, opera, theater, and vaudeville.

Great Reaction , i Love Floor so much. Thx for this

She is from the Netherlands and she is the best. Greetings from a proud fan from the Netherlands. Keep up the good work Beth. Love the channel.

This live gets me every time, it's so moving and powerful that I end up crying. What a masterpiece. Thank you so much for reacting to it! You're amazing :)

Nightwish - " The Poet and the Pendulum " - Live at Wembley 2015

3 most requested metal songs for this "vocal coach reacts to" on yt are: Jinjer - Pisces, Nightwish - Ghost Love Score and Devin Townsend - Kingdom. So now you have to react to this video: "Devin Townsend performs 'Kingdom' for EMGtv " (Interesting fact: he has never had a single vocal lesson in his life.)

Dear Beth, i'm watching this video 100 times.... and i love your reactions and emotions. I'm just looking your face and enjoy it. You just ride a wave watching this song. My favorite video on YT... My favorite reaction on YT. Just love it

loved your reaction Beth, thanks so much for this upload, I had chills all the way through this song, her voice is simply amazing:)

There are so many amazing vocalists in metal, but their sadly overlooked by most simply because they're part of the metal scene.

Superb reaction! I still feels the vibes of her voice shifting tones in my spine. Everytime I go back and hear this song, it's the whole same adventure once again! Your content is not only constructive and strong, it is so good it helps me to further realize why Symphonic Metal female singers are amazing. 2019 is beginning in a way I would have never seen coming and your channel proves it ^^ Keep up the good work! Epica - Consign to Oblivion live at the Zenith/Paris is my suggestion as Simone is my favorite singer of all-time!

Lovely analysis. I'm just happy when anybody takes the time with this song.

the hand slash at the start at every video is gold. never stop

You have to check out all 3 singers of Nightwish. Perhaps all of them singing one song and reacting to their styles. Also react to Epica and Floor Jensen singing Sancta Terra- Live (w/ orchestra).

Try Nightwish - The poet and the pendulum - live at Wembley... a great performance!

The best part of this reaction was the predictions... and the delight once they become reality.

Floor's Voice is Perfect especially for this song. She sounds Youthful, Vibrant & Powerful. Floor..takes me on an emotional journey!💯

The one trained in lied singing is actually their first vocalist, Tarja Turunen, but that's an easy mistake to make for a Nightwish rookie. :) This one is Floor Jansen and while she also has classical training, she on her part majored in musical theatre, giving her perhaps more versatility by default. I believe she's a dramatic soprano (appropriately for someone who looks like a viking goddess), so if she had chosen to go full-on classical she might have lost the lightness and agility she can display with ease. But yeah, she's incredible -- and a vocal coach herself! :)

I'd normally be upset about the interruptions, but yours are truly informative! I enjoyed this analysis a lot.

I think i love this video because i can see your classical trained ears listening to the metallic overdriven guitars in the background, the fact that the guitars fill in with the drums and bass to fill in a complete rythm section and it gotten taken away by just the stringsection and the moment, that moment of people getting energised, and than watching you rock out on it. I myself play in a grind death metal band which would totally be the opposite of this kind of masterpiece, I do relate to them as a band i would be eager to learn from, their song structures are massive and i compare them to the great classical composers of the past. And then Floor hits us with the vocals and that is just jawdropping, its like the whole band is the dot on the i and Floor being the I without the dot. she brings everything the band needs. literally everything.

Beth, when I first started watching reaction videos you got me hooked. On your evaluations, your beauty and knowledge. I am always watching for your newest videos! You have a fan in me!

What an amazing reaction, I love how spontaneous and how competent you are!

Yes! Holy gosh! You need to react to Epica - Sancta Terra feat. Floor Jansen 🤩😍 Floor being the amazing leadsinger you just witnessed in action as I'm sure you are aware. You are my favourite youtuber of all time🤩 Keep doing what you do superstar!

the excitement in your eyes for every switch in the song is awsome, you clearly enjoy this... the joy of floorgasm

Love seeing people's reactions to Nightwish when they are first exposed, and the wayyou getinto it is so wonderful! As others have pointed out, check the Wacken concert version. One of theirs thatI don't think gets enough love is Storytime from that same concert. Check it out even if you don't do a reaction (although that'd be so fun to watch you reacting), you'll love it.
