That was not merely reacting. That was dissection by example. And on top of that a hell of a video editing job. Well done my friend, well done !!!

This reaction happened to me late at night, when I should have been asleep already. I listened with headphones so as not to wake the neighbors. I was preparing to write the usual greeting, but I realized it would be a mistake. You know very well the context, the song, the capabilities of the band, the vocal qualities of Floor and Tarja. As I will subscribe. I find it fascinating that in the case of Nightwish, we can see and compare 2-3 versions of the same songs. It's as if we see several interpretations of a famous opera area ...

When I first heard Floor Jansen, all the millions of singers from different genres from different times that I have ever listened to in my life faded, found themselves in the shadow of Floor. Floor Jansen for me is the best singer on the planet, she is beyond the reach of others.

Floor has more emotion, power, and versatility. No contest!

Very good analysis of Floor's performance in this song. Most people only think about comparing Floor and Tarja's versions of this song in terms of which voice they like better, but I think it's more interesting to compare the two approaches philosophically. The way the vocal arrangement was originally written for Tarja, she contrasts the ups and downs of the musical composition with her consistent vocal approach. Floor's approach to this song is totally different, instead completely reworking the vocal arrangement to follow all the same ups and downs the composition does, and adding an additional 20 seconds of vocals at the end so that the vocal arrangement crescendos at the same moment the musical composition does. Neither approach is necessarily right or wrong, they're just two completely different artistic visions of how vocals should fit together with music.

This was an excellent analysis. One of the very best. Thank you! ⛄👍

Wow. This analysis was like dissecting a corpse on CSI. Just love it. Floor has elevated GLS to a stratospheric level. 💥

Servus Andreas. So happy to watch your review of this epic song and band. I remember asking you for this months and months ago. It was absolutely worth the wait! Loved your insights and comparitive links to other songs/bands. I have a personal preference for Floor's vocals, because of her versatility and overall sound, but I don't want to take away anything from the vocal abilities of Tarja (and Anette). It's just a matter of personal taste. I hope you'll be doing some kind of review of Nightwish again in the future. I'd love to watch it. Take care and greetings from the Netherlands.

Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora. Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6) She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. And The Person behind Nightwish : Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist and songwriter of Nightwish) is the main composer for Nightwish. Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot. 🤘😎🤘.

i love Floors version soo much more because she ports so much more feeling and energy then Tarja ever has. Floor got such a gift in her voice and she invested so much time and energy to bring her gift to maximum. She is a real goddess of metal

Great breakdown. You must spend tons of time editing! Agreed. Both Tarja & Floor have great versions of this song but the interpretation, coloring & different styles Floor uses makes this version more interesting for me. Floor is amazingly diverse. Since you showed a clip of Heart performing Alone, maybe you’d be interested to hear Floor’s solo cover version she released not long ago. Check it out on her KZfaq channel.

Fantastic reaction and analysis. Love the insights you brought to her technique. For me the changes Floor made, especially the ending make this version of the song much better then Tarja's.

Nightwish may never be played like they absolutely should be here in North America but they will always be played and felt in my heart

Finally! Someone who tells us what's going on in the music and singer without the" what she ought to do!" Really refreshing!

Oh boy! I can already hear the footsteps of the Nightwish Army approaching! Don't worry, we're a peaceful one! Wait for Gabriel's comment, he'll tell you everything you need to start your NW journey!

Love all the singers for Nightwish. However, I am a Big Floor fan!

This may be my current favorite analysis of this performance. I have watched a lot of breakdown videos of this performance. Your breakdown stood out.

Loving this ....your breaking down Floors every word .....fabulous

Floor is simply the best female vocalist ever, and combined with the world class musicians in Nightwish, the result is awesome.More Nightwish, with Floor please.

Hello Andreas Grussl. Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. And they make Symphonic Metal. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion. Watch out for the Nightwish Army.

I love Floors voice

Great analysis! Floor really upgrated this song and since this version came out, it has become kind of anthem of Nightwish. Every Nightwish fan knows this version and Nightwish has got many new fans right after hearing GLS at Wacken. This song and this particular version really has something special!

One of the best reviews I've watched, thank you! Please go down the Nightwish/Floor rabbit hole and do many more. Floor alone has a ton of solo work and covers to review. Your analysis is spot on in every way. This may be one of the best bands ever, and Floor is simply devastating in every way. Tarja is a class act but Floor just has so many tools in her vocal arsenal, pop, rock, folk, opera, metal, theater, etc. Not to mention her stage presence is UN-matched!

Superb analysis and breakdown of this brilliant piece of music with Floor's techniques in focus 👌👍. She is the perfect storyteller of this century, because she can mix and combine all known and unknown techniques. And then there is her stage charisma and presence..... We are the lucky ones 😁 (I guess you spend a few minutes on this excellent breakdown 😉)

One thing to take into consideration of this performance, this performance from the whole band has already been going for an hour. She still was able to hit those notes. Unbelievable

Nice treatment of this epic performance--appreciated the editing and depth of knowledge on vocal mechanics. To answer your question: I love Tarja but in my humble opinion Floor owns this tune...she just has more colors on her vocal palette. Cheers!

Everyone always mentions Pirates of the Caribbean vibes, but Nightwish been around doing these tours long before that movie was even thought about and there still going and still getting better

There is no contest, the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy smokes Tarja. Hail Floor 😇 😇 😇 😇 Side note:try Floor's old band Revamp, the song Disdain or Wildcard..🤘🤘🤘🤘

The Metal Gods looked down from the Heavens and spoke these words to all of mankind. We have blessed you on this day of 02/21/1981 ( Floor’s Birthday) an Angel of Metal and she will be known as Floor Jansen. Also known as the Queen of Metal or the Valkyrie Goddess.🌎🌙

In my opinion Floor Jansen's skill makes her not just an incredible vocalist but a force of nature.

Tarja is ok as a singer, but Floor brings the song to LIFE !!!! She gives you a Floorgasm listening to her sing !!!!

Que reaction incrível!!!! Assisti mais de uma centena e não encontrei alguém que fizesse dessa forma tão cuidadosa e carinhosa! Congratulations!!! ❤️ Love from Brazil!

The backing tracks are by the London Philharmonic Orchestra

Floor is by far a more entertaining singer. Her opera, stage/show, rock and folk styles are without match. Dropping from head voice to chest voice within 1 lyric is unbelievable. The Ghost Love Score went from pretty good to Epic with Floor. Thank you for your analysis. Well done!

Abot Tarja vs Floor: as you said, it's mostly about the personal taste. Tarja was much more operatic while Floor is so versatile and by that brings way more into the songs. One thing that always strikes me, when I hear live versions with Tarja (any NW song) is that she sings quite often on an offset timing (to drum rythm). It's probably something that comes from her strict operatic style and (musical) background. But metal, even symphonic metal, is so driven by riffs and rythm that this offset timing simply appears as not fitting and "wrong" (in a way).

Tarja and Floor are top singers, but with Tarja I'm still hungry, even a bit boring. At Floor it is the opposite, you are always faced with surprises, her technique and color palette are much larger and also more pleasant to listen to. Floor also constantly examines the content of the text and feels it well. Top Artist🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶

Since you mentioned Heart, you should try checking out Floor covering Alone.

Really appreciate all the time, mixing and editing and effort You have put in this reaction video. You know what you are talking About. One of the best reactions i have seen so far. ( and i have seen a lot of them) i subbed!

Ignoring vocal tone for a minute, the reason I prefer Floors version is that it has so much more energy. Ive seen a few people argue that Floors versions miss the original point of the songs, but I dont agree. You can change the energy without changing the meaning. I guess it depends on your personality, Tarjas approach may appeal more to a sullen teenager, Floors approach may appeal more to a more confident adult. Another thing is that Floors timing is much much better. Tarja often sounded like she was lagging behind the music, for me it just made the songs feel really flat. Its like Tarja was pulling us away from the music and trying to make us focus on the voice, whereas Floors timing compliments the music. I find Tarjas approach quite jarring. Its ironic really that its Floors version that gets all the vocal reactions, given that the voice part is more complimentary to the music and less dominant.

Nightwish Army Manila Appreciates

Epic reaction, one of the best to this song I've seen (and that would be hundreds) . You know your stuff dude! And great video edits as well. Amazing.

Great analysis. But don't start the old discussion Tarja versus Floor, some comments will be nasty. I am a hardcore Floor supporter, but have lots of respect for the achievements of Tarja.

I recommended this to you years ago. I'm glad you did it finally.

I think, next must be Epica - Sancta terra live from 10th anniversary show. Its really mindblowing.

Thanks for this great reaction/explanation, loved it❣️

Well done, the amount of effort and thought shows.

Super video, editing, thoughts and pointers for us that don't know much about vocal techniques and musical arrangements. 👍

excellent analysis - hoping for more !!!

Hello Andreas, congratulations for the very interesting way of reacting and analyzing the song, very captivating and fun to watch. The insertion of sound excerpts, including with other versions, was very smart on your part, excellent work.

Andreas. Great review. I enjoyed the comparisons and technical breakdown. I learn something which makes your review exceptional. Greetings from the eastern Pennsylvania Division of the Nightwish Army.

1000st reaction/analysisI watchted of that specific song but learned a lot! Thanks so much

Great reaction, a very different approach and nice editing. You put a lot of effort into this, cutting all the pieces and parts together. Ich hab mal vorsichtshalber abonniert. Grüsse in die Raiffeisenstrasse. ;)

Nice editing on the analysis, the extra work is appreciated

Great analysis. Congrats. And my answer to your Question. I am Floored.🤘🤗

Fantastic, technical reaction 👍🏻

Amazing analysis! Thanks for reacting to Nightwish.

You're a Great...Very good listener Andreas ✌🎶🎻....i like that ....noticed You did alot of work ...Appriciate that really....one advice ...follow and react MORE Nightwish please 💜👽🎶🐿🌈💥🙏🏼

Fantastic analysis, thank you!

Nice to see real analysis combined with reaction. Great video.

Outstanding reaction and analyses. Thanks!

Hi Andreas! Great video on an amazing singer and thank you for the shoutout for our channel! As Authorized CVT teachers we can confirm that your analysis of CVT modes was spot on 🙂

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

What a tremendous detailed reaction to this entire performance. Loved it.

Excellent analysis, thank you 🙂

I loved the analysis ❤ Nightwish is awesome! I freak out everytime with this performance!

Coach....Enjoyed your review very much, thank you. I'm a Floor guy because she slides in and out of styles. Not all operatic like Tarja and mostly pop like Anette. Looking forward to your next reaction / review. Be well.

One of the (imho) best reactions to Floor's GLS from Wacken I've watched so far... And I've seen hundreds of 'em. Truth is, I've re-discovered Nightwish (with Floor) through all the reactions. Was a fan in the very early days and have seen them live with Tarja back in 1999, 2000 and 2003. As Anette took over, I completely lost track of them. I haven't even realized that Floor took over even though she was the lead singer of one of my favourite bands, After Forever... Sad example of missing the relevant information ;-) I really liked your objective comparison with Tarja. That's exactly how these things should be handled. The ever smoldering argument between "Floor is best" and "Nah, Tarja is the true and best Nightwish singer" just bores me. This is and should be up to everybody's personal and therefore subjective tastes. Nightwish with Tarja will always have a place in my heart, simply because heavy metal with operatic vocals was just groundbreaking in the late '90s. But today I do prefer Floor because of her incomprehensible versatility. I think musically Tuomas is able to go further just because of her versatility and can write songs that weren't possible with Tarja's limitations in the more contemporary vocal styles. Keep up the great work and I will subscribe to your channel if you continue to explore the more darker and metallic realms of contemporary music. Dimash & Co. are not quite in my wheelhouse... I would love to see your reaction to Ukranian band Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibd-p6qgspmqhok.html Greetings from Germany

Probably the greatest live song performance in musical history, and personally, my alltime favourite performance. There is no stopping Nightwish... Tuomas (keyboards), is the driving force behind the band's compositions, and he just shines on stage as well. Floor brought a passion and an understanding of the English language to make it leaps ahead of Tarja'a (NOT TANJA) version. Easily the most reacted to video on YT. Thanks.

Great reaction thanks , I hope you do more NW reactions

Thanks for reacting! - Nightwish Army

Hervorragende Arbeit, Andreas! Einzigartige Analyse mit Mehrwert. Hintergrundinfos zu Floor, Unterschiede zu Tania, Beispiele von Filmmusiken usw. Das alles professionell editiert und zu einem unterhaltsamen Stück KZfaq zusammengeschnitten. Herausragend im Meer semi- bis unambitionierter Reactions und Analysen, die durchaus ihren Charme haben. Respekt! Ich hoffe nur, dass ich das mit „Kevin Allein zu Haus“ aus dem Kopf kriege, wenn ich mich mit dem Song mal wieder in Ichreißdiewelteinstimmung bringen will!🤣

Metal was never boring - listen that more than 40 years

hey Andreas ! Thank you for that reaction and brilliant analysis ! and Welcome to the best band and female vocalist of our time, I know bold statement but if you take the journey you will understand ,the YT fan base is massive,passionate & very active, 80% of which is for the Floor era,she stepped in Oct 2012 ,and has been their 3rd,current & "Final" vocalist ,GLS is the epitome of Symphonic Metal with more of a classical influence as is many of their compositions but many from this concert are much heavier ,also GLS is the most reacted to song on YT ever with several vocal coaches having over 2.5 Million views .But this was but a very small taste of what Floor & NW has in store for you. As someone who started listening to Nightwish and Floor with her 1st band 20 yrs ago I offer My song list recommendations below which is solely focused on the singer you just saw & heard,cheers **there are 2 pivotal events since Floor Jansen came aboard NW in late 2012 #1 Wacken 2013 - #2 Beste Zangers 2019 at this popular Dutch tv show filmed on Ibiza some top Dutch singers past & present get together and the person on the center couch for the day has one of their songs or a song that has meaning to them sung back to them reinterpreted by the other singers,novel idea . Floor opened the show with the 1st song below and just blew everyone's mind,only two of the other singers knew who Floor was but none of them had heard her sing with such versatility,after the 8 day run of the show Floor's & NW's popularity soared,stadiums filled up and ticket sales shot up.btw since Floor joined NW & after this show NW's fan base has tripled . on Mama by Samantha S.Floor completely changes the tempo and song structure ,the song is about Samantha wanting to be more like her Mom, Que Se Siente by Rolf is originally a merenge ,mambo type song so of course Floor does it her way,Winner by Tim A. he wrote for his brother who has Spina Bifida, About Love ,Ruben wrote about his parents divorce.

Awesome job

Funny you mentioned Heart with 'Alone'. Cause Floor covered that song in multiple versions.

Love how you addressed the music and not only the vocals.

Great job, actually something new to say about her and her approach

Home alone 2?? This man is the rainman of music, what an amazing pull!

what an amazing astute reaction. thanks from Colorado. lived in Geissen in the early to middle 70`s and saw some good band live in Frankfurt during that time.

By the way, yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to watch the live stream of Nightwish's hour-and-a-half performance before a crowd of 100,000+ at Hellfest in France. Finally, we have a challenger to the Wacken 2013 show. The show started at 8:20 p.m. in France. For those of you who missed it, here's the link to this professional video from the ARTEconcert. I would love to see you react to this show. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pr95i5R73siaZHk.html Here's the setlist: Music (intro) Noise Planet Hell Tribal Élan Storytime How's the Heart? (Non-Acoustic Version) Dark Chest Of Wonders I Want My Tears Back Nemo Sleeping Sun Shoemaker Last Ride of the Day Ghost Love Score The Greatest Show On Earth Ad Astra (applause)(singing of Floor)

While at shool we were taught to really listen to music and Nightwish made me realise that modern music is worth really listening to and Floor to me is just the best, pity she never got to sing with Freddy Mercury, what a performane that would of been.

Awesome Floor, story teller, great soprano, the ' Dutch nife' soooo good

Absolutely sterling analysis of the song as sung by Floor. Thank you so much.

Thanks for your interesting and detailed analysis of this epic song. It is a masterpiece; one of the greatest rock songs ever, IMHO.

I don’t usually comment but this was an outstanding analysis. Subscribed. Thank you so much, Andreas! (Oh and I also prefer Floor).

It will always be Floor :) thank you for your video, I loved it and will be a fan now haha :D

Thank you great reaction !! Love Floor !

everybody loves froor's voice in this song, But can we get a little respect for that drummer who is killing it the whole song and must be shattered after playing this song

Best reaction to this song so far i have seen (and i have seen plenty).

Out of many, many GLS reaction videos, this one for me easily ranks among the very best. Thank you for this masterclass Andreas! As to your question, Floor's version reigns supreme for me. Not only because she really perfected an already great song and gave it the finale it so badly needed & deserved, but also because of the dynamics & colouring. That's simply not possible when you overdo the classical style. Floor could easily do that, but fortunately chose (and still chooses) to dose it sensibly. She wants to tell the story, and that needs vocal versatility, dynamic flow, changes between styles and layering. There's also a minor issue imo with Tarja's pronunciation of some English words ("keel me" instead of "kill me" etc.), which can be a little distracting at times. Bigger issue for me personally is that I simply can't stomach the classical singing style for too long. It comes across as too much of an act (which is its purpose of course). Many ppl love it, but for me the act gets in the way of emotion, which Floor is able to bring in spades for the reasons I indicated. Cheers from Amsterdam!

Thanks a lot

I see a lot of these vocal coach reactions and I heard new things again thank you! Very informative and entertaining. How about Unleash the Archers with their song Tonight we ride.

I think you would love hearing the incomparable voice of Marcela Bovio, a classically trained singer originally from Mexico but now living in the Netherlands. Like Floor she has spent the last couple decades in the world of metal music. She has a gorgeous voice which can be heard in "Ayreon (Stream of Passion) Out in the Real World Live in Tilburg 2019" as well as a video on her KZfaq Channel, "Marcela Bovio - Stream of Passion's "Monster" one take live performance"

It was amazing i will never forget. I was in the middle of the crowd. Everybody sang along even back there.

Junge,nach dem ersten Ausruf von dem smarten Tommy Hilfiger Träger wollte ich skippen. Dann sehe ich Gabriels Beitrag, nun war ich neugierig. Möchte Dich gar nicht mit einem langen Text langweilen. Eine sehr profunde und unterlegte Analyse , mit genug Emotionen gespickt, um zu fesseln bis zum Ende:) Subbed, liked , warte auf mehr, danke junger Mann:) Bleib Gesund! NWA Mittelfranken, Bayern.

I listen for the first time this song in Tarja's voice and was amazing. But when I get to hear Floor's 'version' it smashed my brain. Not Only for those magical ending notes that get me goosebumps everytime I hear but for the versatililty of Floor's voice, that makes you feel different sensations in every part of the song depending on her voice alone, something I believe that Tarja didn't do at this level.
