Vocal Coach Reacts to the Greatest Show on Earth by Nightwish Tampere 

Floor windmills constantly because she is singlehandedly trying to save the environment by generating clean energy for the entire world. A noble goal indeed.

Windmill in high heels and sing right after is one of the many reasons why Floor is the best.

Floor's "Windmills"are famous, she does them since she was a teen :)

This is the last song of the set! Such incredible energy!! Also if you havnt checked it out yet I suggest Sleeping Sun from this concert also.

Hope You did some pre-study on this cause there's a meaning, true meanimg behind 🤗 All the best from 🇫🇮 🤗

yup, finished too early.. the end would have aswered one of your questions :)

My favourite Nightwish reactor. 🥂🎉🥳🎊🤘

You skipped the end, so you also missed the final voice message of mr. Dawkins. And this was the final song of the concert.

I think Floor headbangs any chance she gets :D. I don't think I've seen a Nightwish live performance where she doesn't at least once per song. Nooooo you didn't watch the to the end of it. You really should. Richard Dawkins ties a nice bow on the whole song.

She always seems to wear high heels on stage. And windmilling almost every chance she gets.

You finished too early... the song goes on... and there is an important message said by Richard Dawkins you missed...

What was the placement of the song in the show? It was the last one! Yes she has a lot of energy left. My own working hypothesis is, that the windmills actually recharge her like a windup toy ;) Just much better of course.

Great reaction. You're not criticizing. You're analyzing. Analysis is breaking down techniques and performance without placing subjective judgment. Critics judge songs/performances. You break them down. Are you French Canadian? I'm not great with accents, but it sounds like it.

Awesome reaction and analysis,, the “hair spinning “ is called Windmill, don’t know if you knew the term.

It's the last song for that show. It's epic!

for me "the gratest show on earth" is the best song that tuomas has composed, it is really his masterpiece. and with the voice of Floor Jansen this song quit the human dimension for enter in the divine domain.

Also Tuomas' love of soundtracks is evident in everything he writes.

You stopped the song too soon, you completely missed the last part. There are some important messages in that part. Having said that, you focussed so much on the music and had so much to say about it, that you completely missed the essence of this song, what it is all about, an why this is such a great masterpiece. Shame. Missed opportunity. And the windmilling was exactly in the appropriate places.

About her headbanging. Do you know that there in concert were parents of Floor? And she was headbanging before them. I imagine, her mom thought: "C'mon, what's you doing, daughter?" There are no into her music, but were very proud of her when that show ends. And i wonder how fast Floor is going from headbanging to singing, and has no headache with her windmill. She is incredible.

Thank you for sipping your coffee but then putting it down to enjoy the music instead of holding it like it is your life you're holding. Oops had to edit this. You're holding it as if it's your soul again. Such a distraction. There are hundreds of vocal coach reactions to Nightwish and thankfully I don't have to watch this one again.

Some Singers sing what they can/ Tarya , Anette,+...... : Floor is playing her own instrument!: Nightwish is, was a music Experimental with 22/23 members. Not music allone in perfection- ART!❤

This song doesn’t even feel like it’s more than 20 minutes long.

Hi Elvann love your reactions but did you miss the metalica riff at 23:28. Just wanted to point that out to you. greetings from the Netherlands.

Over 20 years of experience there on stage and it's a metal concert Headbanging is part of it I don't know why you think it's so weird

This was the closing song of the show. Floor is some kind of dynamo. She does the windmill to get more energy. She moves her head like that and energy flows through her body. There is one of this windmilling from her in Seven days to the wolves live Wembley, where she does for a long time and then she continues singing just like that. Some people has said that Floor is a FORCE OF NATURE.

You missed the fireworks at the end.

More respect" your a still a beginnen in singing, also 5years afterwards of your ytubecomment.

This is your channel with your way of reacting. If others don't like it, they should jog on. Some people think they are still on the Nightwish discord and have to keep getting one up on everyone all the time. Sickening, upsetting such a lovely reactor.

Will you be reacting to Floor's version of Poet and the Pendulum? Curious minds want to know. :)

I'm fairly certain that Floor is ACTUALLY a Valkyrie. No jokes about it.

We are the universe made manifest. Here to understand itself. From the galaxies to the solar systems. From all the planet's to all the vastness in between. Hince from the star's we came. To the star's we must return. Before the eternal night of us ALL. For no other reason. To proclaim to the rest of the universe. WE WERE HERE!!!

This is a most exceptional experience in music. I don't believe there are adequate words to truly describe this. It is an experience you must have yourself. As compared to what Floor is singing, your operatic comparison is really bad.

Troy is playing a Low Whistle at the beginning - then Uilleann Pipes.

Nice reaction, but you missed the end.

Oh well, just another one who turns off the video after the music stops, when the most important part of this artistic masterpiece starts. I recommend having a look at the lyrics. And too bad you did not realize that there was a voice in the background, that was not just noise, but had meaning. Ah, OK, windmill or not was oh so important.

One of the reasons I love your reactions is the emotion you show on your face and the obvious joy you have at the beauty of the music. And the 'flute' that Troy was playing at the start was a Tin (Irish) Whistle in Low D I believe. He seems to have a number of them in different keys. I always love tin whistles over recorders as they always seem more mellow and flute-like to me, even though they are less versatile with key changes! Also, it is a shame you missed the last 20% or so of the song as there are some beautiful melodies and thought provoking lyrics spoken by Prof. Dawkins (his own words and Darwin's) which are the culmination of everything Tuomas was working towards on this album.

Could you give a reaction to Hallowed be thy name- Iron Maiden....

Really appreciate the comment about opera tone not having to be only the strict rounded head voice shown here. Have in mind though that the particular way Floor approaches this part is actually important. The tone she uses shows a lot of vocal discernment if you take into context the actual lyrics and what this part is designed by Tuomas to represent. The juxtaposition between the pre-existing opus perfectum that is Gaia with us as imperfect entities still sleeping in it and waiting to evolve into existence is shown perfectly via the way the big operatic sound thins and then cuts into the whispering part (that's when you paused the video). A brighter tone would actually fail to convey here both the - introductory to this show of life - narrative aspect of the lyrics AND the intended contrast I wrote about above (as well as the move from minor to major, also intended here). Cheers..C:

Floor is the next stage in human evolution - have you seen the size of her neck - who knows what her daughter will be capable of when she is older? 😜 If you listen carefully, you can hear snippets of Toccata and Fugue by Bach, Enter Sandman by Metallica - and the keyboard from 22:30 - 23:00 is very reminiscent of the theme from John Carpenter's "Halloween".

I can assure you that Floor's start in this operatic tone is intended. To me it express the start of the universe, dark, simple but evolving - like she is doing through the song - evolving and using all kind of voice nerd gigs plus body/facial expressions. She is quite unique in this. You also really see it in The Poet and the Pendulum - and 7 days at the wolves - but she actually almost always do this kind of building up. And you are a super cool reactor, while you know - really know - your stuff. And you sing Nightwish songs - respect 🤘

As the name says.. is not only a song.. It is a show.. Fun fact.. they can play almost 45 minutes with 3 songs... Greatest show, Poet and the Pendulum and Ghost love score// =).. Thanks for your reaction!!!

3+~1/2 min. is" Radio-Shit".❤

If you haven't already seen it you should check out Floor's version of Stargazers.

I’ve seen them play this live twice. It’s just amazing live, so moving. The recording is nice, but live is the magic.

When Floor asks "will you sing with us? " followed by WE WERE HERE always makes me cry. It shows the planet will still be here long after mankind has gone

Your videos are so hit and miss. Some of what you say sounds like sly digs at Floor.

you have the same headphones (you are a gamer? :D) btw did you notice the Marko voice? wtf this man is awesome.

i think its to early for HD version. :P , greetings from chile dear elvan

This is Huge! Ultimate performance ,.... 👍 ❤️

skipping the closing part = dislike.

Maybe she decided that it fits here in this song better than the one you described.

The Greatest Reactor On Earth reacting to The Greatest Band On Earth doing The Greatest Song On Earth, The Greatest Show On Earth! Seriously, this is SUCH a great song and this performance is breathtaking. Cheers! Edit: You ended the reaction waaaaay too soon...there's 2 spoken word piece by Richard Dawkins and the fireworks finale and the band thanking the crowd/bowing and all that fun stuff.

Heeeyyyy!!!! Nice reaction but you missed the last part of the song for stopping too early ;)

Floor- vocal decathalete and marathoner at the same time!!!

Muy buena tu reacción, me gustaría que reacciones a INDIO SOLARI JI JI JI de Argentina ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tVvTDVswTxQ.html Gracias

...and the grand finale ????

You didn't finish the song..

Floor is Dutch so she do the windmill !

obvio que la opera no suena asi PORQUE ESTO ES METAL SINFONICO ME EXTRAÑA SI SOS VOCAL COACH QUE NO SEPAS LA DIFERENCIA ENTRE METAL SINFONICO OPERA POP Y OPERA. floor puede cantar todos los estilos en estee caso tuomas escribio para que suene asi

*REACT TO THIS !!* Диана Анкудинова (Diana Ankudinova) - She is only 15 yo in these video: *Rechenka* : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I0sliHsjEr4.html *Dernière Danse* : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MuR6EOy9fK4.html

Tuomas is actually using the fireworks as another instrument. This song is about the origins of the universe, and I believe the fireworks represent the Big Bang. I always love when musicians reach outside the traditional and surprise us with what can create music.

Awesome as always

Great reaction even if you skipped the Dawkins point the song was making throughout. Funny how Tuomas and Floor were both into science as they were growing up and here they combined both science and their passion for music in an epic art form. A always love your little discuss especially the Opera info, only Elvann can give you an epic Nightwish song along with a lesson on Opera and song structure and how Floor is amazing in heel windmilling (she is Dutch) and then coming out of it into the vocals. Love you channel and the fact you are starting to expand to other bands and genres.

I think that Elvann you are the most best reactor for Nightwish songs ......LOVE YOUR REACTIONS ALLWAYS!!!

You speak to much ...

Floor can sing it but she doesn't like opera.. She likes metal! Thank the fucking metal gods hahaha :)

Can you imagine if they played this at the Superbowl Halftime Show...!?

TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - A Lifetime of Adventure (OFFICIAL VIDEO) : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JWwSVOo5K_k.html 😍😎👍 I think you like this "solo" work of Tuomas oryoung Floor with a string quartet: Floor Jansen & RLSQ - Energize Me [Live @ Podium: Uitmarkt, 2009] : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uzW1jDAt69Q.html 👀🎶👌 (By the way her high heels in this show you are reacting to are Unicorn heads) Floor always does windmills when she gets the chance and is always wearing high heels 👀

Fun fact.. they can play almost 45 minutes with 3 songs... Greatest show, Poet and the Pendulum and Ghost love score// =).. Thanks for

Floor is a bad ass angel!GOD given talent

I'd really suggest that you react to these two Beast in Black - Blind and Frozen ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2N4tXf3Ensw.html Yannis Papadopoulos (Lead singer of Beast in Black) - Ghost love Score (cover) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nfZxu1aQzp8.html Beast in Black really sounds like what the really old (pre-once) Nightwish could have done

I think Tarja is the better overall classical singer, but I adore Floor because she does everything well and can seamlessly flip between them, has borderline supernatural stamina, and is an unparalleled belter. She adds so much depth of emotion to their music - even their older stuff is in some cases transformed by it (Dead Boy's Poem, Ghost Love Score, Poet and the Pendulum, etc.). Tarja's renditions are still great, and I think there are a few songs where her more operatic sound works a bit better (She is My Sin, Phantom of the Opera obv.), but Floor is just the best. And she has a stage presence where you just can't help but love her. I've watched so many videos of people seeing Nightwish for the first time (usually Wacken 2013 GLS), and they're all in love with her by the end. Floor and Tarja are both forever imprinted on the history and discography of Nightwish, so I don't know why their fanclubs are so ridiculously zealous in flying to their rescue in YT comments. Tarja went on to her own successful solo career, and Nightwish fans were eventually blessed with Floor. We all win.

My honest opinion ...you just sang it the heavy Operatic way....like Tarja ...floor just didnt, did it lightly ..listen it back and i hear/ read it from you....though..further Great reaction Lady 🙏🏼

The fireworks at the beginning were not for amusement... they represent the Big Bang ! The origin and creation of the Universe !! This whole Epic Masterpiece is about Genesis, Creation of the Universe and evolution of all the species on Earth..!! Evolution of mankind, evolution of Nature even evolution of music 23:07 - 23:30 (from Bach to Metallica)..!!! "The Greatest show on Earth" is not other than the miracle we call "Earth", our planet itself and all the life on it !! 12:14 when Floor is standing still and recites instead of singing, is because she represents Goddess Gaia (Θεά Γαία in Greek) and is not Robotic monotone voice, it's more like Homer's rhapsody in fifteen-syllable measure !!! Before the end of the song the phrase "We were here" it doesn't mean we were here in the Tampere concert of Nightwish... but the time we lived/live on Earth and have witnessed "The Greatest Show" LIFE !!! Some research before reacting could be very helpful !! A musical masterpiece is not only music and good Floorgasmic singing...is also presentation of the story behind the music - lyrics and how to support them with vocals..!! Tuomas is a genious composer/poet and collaborating with amazing musicians and Floor, the result is just magical !! In my humble opinion and without trying to offend you, don't bother with superficial things as headbangings, hair windmills and high heels, because you are missing the real meaning of the whole thing. The end of the concert could've revealed to you, what this Masterpiece is all about...!!! Thank you !!

I try to give your reactions a shot, but every single one are songs you've already heard and know. I think your titles should be more like "Vocal coach analyzes [artist - song name]"

I think each song was composed for the singer of its era. The problem for Annette was that she was not really fitted for the Tarja Era. But Floor can do everything, so she got no problem to blend in. Plus she can make each song her own by giving it even more emotion.

Very extensive react/analysis. Thanks. And BTW Elvann, I've missed your react vids. Of course seen you latest videos, this was one I never saw from your reacts. Now the obvious, you look very pretty in this video. If we meet someday in some NW concert I buy u a coffee or beer. Whichever is then appropriate I guess, I do hope Marko get over he's depression once tours start in NW's part and he realizes that all fans miss him and he misses shows. Well bye from Naantali. Near Turku if u didn't know. Hope u are well.

Drinking from Finnish Taika (Engl. Magic) cup I see....:) Going full Finnish here! 👍

My dear, you are a nice, funny, cute and very talented girl. The ones who critizice you dont know a big a Fan of NW you are, and that its felt through out the vídeo and that what it matters. The True NW army is with you, keep UP the Good work, see you in Reacticide. @Dark Falling Soul

You missed the philosophical part of the song, just small criticism check the ending of the videos always before cutting it off. Nice reaction anyway.

They did indeed sync the fireworks. TankTheTech says there are two ways they could be done. One is on timers. The more reliable way, which he believes they used, is to have techs firing them off in response to audio cues (like a click track.) The "flute" is an Irish tin whistle, if I'm not mistaken. You ended too soon, though!! There was more to see (plus a heartwarming concert ending, if you go far enough.)

Troy plays the tin whistle also called low whistle. And the pipes, were Uilleann pipes, an instrument for those with a masochistic trait. And it was the final song of the set list.

Do you know the story behind. Do you know Richard Dawkins. Have you listen to the man.

hi Elvann, try another one from the same concert = Nightwish- My Walden (Live at Tampere)

Funny you should comment about how big Floor's approach to the openning section is, because as of the 2018 Decades tour she now does it *even bigger* in the kind of operatic mixed voice she used in Phantom on Beste Zangers (and in the Decades tour on The Kinslayer and parts of Gethsemane), which I personally think sounds absolutely amazing but I'm a total sucker for female classical voice types using at least some chest resonance. Oh, and this song was the last one they performed in that show, which makes her energy level in this performance even more impressive.

Floor's windmilling alone? Remember she is a lot younger than most other band members. Head banging and windmilling probably discouraged by these old guys doctors. Floor does it because she is a performer and crowds love it. (And she is super human.)

I only have about 30 years left to live so have decided to only watch Nightwish (with Floor) reactions.

Didn't know you lived in Finland. But that hoodie, Iittala mug and Assembly poster gave it away. :D

Don't know if anyone mentioned this in their comments, but the fireworks were synchronized to the music to "resemble" the big bang. 😊❤🤘🤘

oops and troy sorry and Thoumas is genious bless him and all of them blend so well now loving it such a change from them superb :-)

First Nightwish/Floor reaction of your's that I disliked. Way too much talking and I'll take Floor over all the vocal coaches on FB.

Bu chòir dhut crìoch a chuir air an òran mus toir thu lèirmheas. Cuideachd, tha fios agam air mòran de luchd-ealain clàraidh, ris an canar mi fhìn, ach airson innse gu bheil e caran dùbhlanach. Dìreach mo bheachd, na bi às mo chiall. PEACE

The robotic effect or in some other parts/songs ""chorus" sounding things imho is Tuomas playing his Synth wiith sounds "equal" to humans voice (like some Strings fe.)

Same concert - Toumas and Floor ``Week fantasy

At the beginning she claims that it is rare that she doesn't know a Nightwish song, then she is surprised with Floor windmilling in the middle of a song. So, not familiar with Nigthwish's performances from the last 10 years?

Nice job reacting👍its not a big deal you mised the end! Carry on the Nice work you are doing🤘

Effects on Floor's voice?! 1; No. 2; Blasphemy! 😉

You talk too much. This is a heavy metal banda. What You espect!?!?!?

The monotone part Floor is singing (?) is also bound to the theme at that point: gravity. So it comes from her mouth with… gravity. Where also the drums and bass go. There's so much composed to this, you really can't get them all at one listening. And it actually helps if you'd know the lyrics beforehand - then you have time to notice how they are woven together with the music, the story told in many layers at once.

🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘 Wonderful as always!! You always brighten my day on here!! Ignore the negatives and just do you!!! 😊🤘🤘
