your face was pricelesss hahahahahahahahahahah yeap, thats tarja the dark queen. amazing voice.

I love Tarja's voice! Thank you very much! ❤ I'm an old Nightwish fan. When Tarja was fired, we were very sad and a large part of us recriminated the band for the way it happened. It was a very dramatic episode. Many of the old fans stopped listening to the band, and some do not listen to today. Nightwish began to enter the American market with the album "Once", the last with Tarja, at a time when there was no KZfaq. But the band is known since Tarja's era in Europe and Latin America. With Annete's input, many fans who still listened to Nightwish rejected her. Now with Floor some old fans came back to listen to Nigthwish again. Floor has been known to listeners of this musical style since her old bands, After Forever and Revamp. She's an amazing vocalist and I myself, for example, used to listen to her before she joined Nightwish. I would like to suggest some reactions. From Tarja Turunen's solo career, please, react to "underneath", the studio version (it's one of the most beautiful rock synphonic ballads I've ever heard), and "Supremacy", live version recorded in Milan (it's really amazing). From Nightwish with Tarja, the music videos of "Bless the child" , "Nemo" and "I wish I had an angel" are wonderful. They deserve a reaction too. Thank you very much!

"The Kinslayer" with Tarja is an amazing song. Both Tarja's voice and Emppu's riffs shine in this one.

And that is why fans still love Tarja. She has a solo career now with several albums. Tarja & Floor are still friends & there is a video of them singing "Far & Away" together at one of Tarja's concerts.

I really love Tarja. I'm a huge fan of Nigthwish thanks to her. Floor is very good, obviously, but Nightwish with Tarja is incredible too. Dark Chest Of Wonder, the entire Oceaborn or Wishmaster cd ...

yo are spot on...it fit so brilliantly...in Tarja era, Tuomas wrote to accentuate her operatic prowess and she employed it with absolute exquisiteness, thats why to me, no one else can even approach her delivery

Thanks for Nightwish with Tarja. Tarja Turunen is my absolute favorite among all vocalist in symphonic metal, she was the first who decided to use the classical style of singing in metal. Fun fact: Tarja specialized in Chamber music, not opera, many unfortunately do not understand the difference. P.S. I recommend more Tarja with Nightwish: Slaying the dreamer (my absolute favorite), Wishmaster, Planet hell, The siren, Wish I had an angel, Sleeping sun from the concert End of an era; The Pharion sails to orion, Swanheart, Deep silent complete, Elvenpath+Fantasmic, Beauty and the beast from the concert From Wishes to enternity. And Tarja solo career: Supremacy live in Woodstock 2016, Crimson deep from the concert Act I.

Best concert ever!!!!

yes, its true..she does hit very high notes in many songs, just for the fans..her background is replete with very serious operatic level training...this is from 2005 and now she has developed to an ultra highly polished vocalist

I'm a really big fan of Marko's and I love him in this

Thank you for reacting to Taeja+Nightwish. I miss them so much.

Finallyyyyy ❤️❤️❤️❤️ QUEEN TARJA TURUNEN PLEASE REACT TO SWANHEART NIGHTWISH LIVE

Dude... same fu**ing concert... SLAYING THE DREAMER!!!!!

Thank you for reacting to Tarja, the one and only original Queen and Goddess of Nightwish. Love all 3 Singers of Nightwish but it's like replacing James Hetfield of Metallica. An original will always remain the original sound of Nightwish. Thank you for giving Tarja an equal opportunity to showcase her talent and her contribution to Nightwish. You have so much to discover about this bands history with those beautiful female singers is endless. Tuomas and Tarja were school friends, thats how Nightwish was born from Tarja vocals as Tuomas was taking a different direction in music. Thanks to Tarja and Tuomas beautiful music, and of course amazing Marco, Jukka and Emppu. The best line up ever. Love Floor and she's awesome but thanks to Tarja that led us to Floor otherwise there wouldn't be Floor. Thank you again for the reaction, liked and subscribed. Keep up the awesome work and look forward for more Nightwish. Lots of Love * Slaying The Dreamer live kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qqyDpMR9sL7ep40.html * 10th man down live kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fa1oiLGTrpivfWg.html * Nemo live kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rd1imZeBtdbWg5c.html * High Hopes ( Pink Floyd Cover which Nightwish and Marco nailed it ) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atV1d9GHyr-9qYE.html

you should react to Slaying the Dreamer, Wishmaster and Planet Hell from this same concert.

Tarja was TRULY THE BEST!!!😀👍 And im a first time Floor fan actually ADMITTING SOMETHING I HATE TO ADMIT ABOUT THIS FACT!!! Tarjas voice, is just so UNIQUE AND ENCHANTINGLY HAUNTING!!! I just cannot get this out of Floor, as good as she is. OMG!😬

I highly recommend you also listen to Planet Hell / Slaying the dreamer / The Siren / Sleeping Sun / Wishmaster / The Kinslayer. All from the same concert. It's amazing. I love Nightwish, Tarja, Floor!

When I fell in love with symphonic music it was Nightwish wish I had an angel sung by Tarja and Marco.

Great reaction, you're really funny! Thank you so much! Tarja has been having an amazing solo career in the past 15 years... Her vocal technique has more of a Classical singing technique mixed within (compared to the later Nightwish singers), but it's not only pure classical/"operatic" singing (she actually does some Classical music concerts, and there she sings with pure classical technique), but When it comes to heavy rock/metal, Tarja is always experimenting with her voice, she uses belted chest voice also, while maintaining her trademark sound: Her voice is not only high but more than that is dark and really powerfull, and she is very theatrical on stage... She also has been maturing a lot as a composer and her last album "In the Raw" is probably her best! I'm so glad you liked this performance, her voice and Marco's one were a perfect match that defined Nightwish sound for almost a decade! As a sugestion, I'll leave you 2 links for some Amazing Live performances by Tarja Turunen in recent years: 1st - an unbeliavable version of "Supremacy" (a Muse cover) at Hellfest festival - very powerfull high notes: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdN9dayQlb6Xn3k.html 2nd a very energetic live version of "Victim of Ritual" (song composed by Tarja)... the crowd really goes wild at this one - from Woodstock festival: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fd50ocuTrLqug6c.html I hope you enjoy these ones as much as I do! Cheers!

Tarja and Marko are absolutely superb!!!!!

Yep, that was Tarja, you can see why it was a big thing then and why it was a shock when they fired her, right after this show, which ended up being called "End of an Era". I like Floor style better but i have massive respect for this lady. Another great song with her: Wishmaster

"It helps my heart not explode" LOVED that

I highly suggest these songs with Tarja: "Pharaoh Sails to Orion," "Passion of the Opera," "Beauty of the Beast," "FantasMic," and "The Siren." Floor is amazing and my favorite NW singer, but, Tarja is the voice you will hear on most of Nightwish's albums (for now). If you really want to get into this band, it's good to become familiar with her voice with Nightwish too.

actually all thats needed is a hearing of Tarja's pounding out of "end of all hope and 10th man down, deep, silent, complete, pharaoh sails to orion, and sleeping son" to see her incredible variety of vocal flavors

One song I haven't seen any youtuber react to, is Erämaajärvi. Understandable though. Rare because it's in finnish. Extremely beautiful. I grew up with Nightwish and this is one of my all time favourites. Nothing special, just simple beauty. KZfaq has the Nightwish studio version and Tarja singing little bit of it live in her solo career. Shout out from Finland!

The incomparable Tarja Turunen Love her.

finally tarja :) thanx thanx thanx hoopsick this react. i really love tarja and im glad you liked too. you should check Tarja - Supremacy (Muse cover) /Woodstock 2016. you can see how talent tarja is. ok have great day there.

One of the best songs, shows, and performances I ever got to see live. Back in 2004 in Minneapolis. Tarja was classically trained in Germany.

Tarja was in Nightwish 1996-2005 and in this "Tarja era" they used quite much cover songs. Like this 2005 End of an Era concert, they played totally 18 songs and 4 of them were cover songs! The Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber cover), High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover), Stone People (John Two-Hawks cover (with John Two-Hawks) and Over the Hills and Far Away (Gary Moore cover). Later they just stop playing cover songs. I guess they have own material enough. And now we can say, more than enough. But, like many already suggested, Pink Floyd cover "High Hopes" would be nice. Marko is singing - only boys are on stage. Tarja went change clothes, so band must play something without her. And even I really like Pink Floyd, but this Nightwish cover... I must say, I like it more. Nightwish is amazing in that sense, they can take a song, change it little, put some Nightwish magic over it and there it is. Amazing cover. Like this "Phantom Of The Opera". I like this metal version more than original.... :D

Two words for you: The Siren

Nightwish were awesome with Tarja. Nightwish is awesome with Floor. This entire show is great in my opinion and there are many good songs to check out!

Two other covers from this same concert High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover by Marko), Over the Hills and Far Away (Gary Moore cover) both are fantastic.

Oh man Tarja was (is) phenomenal. If you want to explore her more, I recommend checking out "Slaying the Dreamer" from this same show. It's one of the few songs I prefer singing over Floor. It's amazing!

Tarja's colab with Within Temptation in Paradise (What About Us?) is also very worth seeing, and she's been continuing on her own since leaving Nightwish. Enjoyed your reaction! Thank you!

Dark chest of wonders, Planet Hell, The Siren, Ghost Love Score with a Tarja and High hopes with Marco... you won't be disappointed!!

THAT is what calles the original eargasm, also called turgasm....

Floor hasn't done this with Nightwish but she has performed their rendition of this duet with Henk Poort on the show Beste Zangers, Henk was the Dutch Phantom for years and Floors idol, he kept a few new learned tricks up his sleeve just for her. Other Tarja live songs I would recommend are Wish I had an Angel & Nemo from this concert. Not sure if you've done Floors version of these from Wacken yet but could be fun to do both versions together 😊

Tuomas,Tarja and Jukka formed Nightwish 1996 at high school. Tarjas era was 1996-2007 untill she got fired behand her back(Talk is since Tuomas never got his feelings return from Tarja since high school era, and she got married) wich became End of era and Tarja didnt know she was getting fired at end with an open letter after the tour ended

Slaying The Dreamer from this same show! CHECK IT OUT!!!

Wish I had an Angel sung by Tarja and Marco

Ghost love score TARJA Planet hell TARJA Wishmaster TARJA The siren

High Hopes is another Song where Marco shines

Marco e Tarja... Perfeitos!!!

Old Nightwish had magic...

2 soft but awsome Songs are "Sleeping Sun" and "Walking in the Air" and the Song where i got "the Hang" to Nightwish was "Wishmaster" (all with Tarja)

You really should react to Supremacy Tarja cover live at Woodstock 2016

Yeah, she do it all the time lol Check Slaying the Dreamer from the same concert and you’ll see 😎🤘🏼

Oh yeah, Tarja gave the original classic Nightwish vocal sound alright and the perfect Tarja song. This rendition is top drawer and her forte (but also, Marko!). Her strengthes to me also limited Nightwish slightly towards all overly operatic all the time. Floor allows for a different range of track types. You can see Floor doing Phantom on Beste Zangers with Henk Poort. (no nightwish version yet!)

Tarja was the original singer and former (music) class mate of Tuomas. Fun fact: Tuomas was forming the band with the idea of making experimental acoustic music, but hearing how Tarja's voice had developed in strength, switched to symphonic metal. Which actually also suited the musical background of the other founding members better. But without Tarja we probably would've listened to some kind of campfire music (if it would've gotten our interest lol).

This entire concert “End of an Era” is excellent. Also to answer your yes they did a cover of Pink Floyd’s High Hopes in this concert.

Pharao sals to orion , phantasmic , the siren , deep silent complete, wishmaster

Please do Slaying the Dreamer (also End of an Era dvd, with Tarja). Enjoy! 🙂

or "Sleeping Sun" with Tarja, a classic. You have to check this out if not already done.

Im gonna jump onto this train of comments - Slaying the dreamer, kinslayer, the siren and Wishmaster from the same concert, you will not regret that decision. Love the reaction \m/

Another song with Tarja that only i can hear from her ----> Nightwish - End Of All Hope Live at the Summer Breeze festival (2002)

Next up: slaying the dreamer from this show.

omg idk if you've already seen Slaying the Dreamer, since floor sings that one now too, but Tarja does this in the same concert (end of an era) and its amazinggg!!! Check it out please!

You should react to "passion and the opera" with tarja. There is also a great operatic part were you can get a glimpse of her great voice👍

You should check all of their old stuff. Especially songs from wishmaster and oceanborn.

Tarja, Her voice is amazing for sure. Try the sont "the greatest show on earth". There are so many very good song from Nightwish.

From this concert, the other song that I find the best to watch live is Slaying the Dreamer. Great showcase of Tarja's voice as well, sick riffs and breakdowns, Marko being epic, everything is there. There's a Floor version as well so you can choose.

Hahaha I loved your face after this song 😄❣️🤘🏻

Check out Floor singing "Phantom of the Opera" with Hank Poort (Best Zangers 2019 rendition). An interesting way to here the shift between singers is to use the live versions of "Ever Dream". Tarja, Annette and Floor all sing it.

The note at the end is part of the song. This is their arrangement of this song from the musical of the same name.

My friend, it's not that Tarja's voice match with Nightwish music, it is that the music was created for her voice. the rest tried to match after...

Try Pharaoh Sails to Orion, it's before Marko joined the band. Tapio Wilska on male vocals.

The big ending still gives me chills every time. Truly a legendary performance. Great reaction.

yah..Tarja-gasms were very common in her era...and Tuomas decided to go for the gold and use her powerful voice to achieve stardom...this is not even her performing at full capacity (she had a throat infection and overall weakness from a fever)

🤘The True Nightwish 🤘

You should react to Ever Dream in the same show. Just after this concert the band fired Tarja, all members knew it was her last concert except her and you can see Tuomas feelings at that moment in this song

The one that followed was The Siren you must listen to it.

best one from this show en of an era 2005 im my opinion is sleeping sun check it out man its wilde and buteful

those 16 seconds are prepping for Siren, which is ALSO my favorite song of the concert. And Planet Hell. And Ghost Love Score...

Tuomas is a master at working with what he has

React to Deep Silent Complete live with Tarja...

7:45 oh yes, you have to check out the original studio versions of Tarja songs you already know, even off camera. Ghost Love Score and Romanticide, for example, are from the last album they did with Tarja, but where her voice shines the best is in Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean. All the other songs you've reacted to are from the Anette or Floor era.

floor vs tarja? ghost love score, planet hell, dark chest of wonders, slaying the dreamer, nemo. i seem to recall floor and tarja doing a duet too for over the hills - that was awesome. High Hopes is a cover song for pink floyd sung by Marco on the very same end of an era gig that this was performed

Check out Sleeping sun. It is very different but you will see what Tarja voice made for.

The Siren and Sleeping Sun from the same show please 😍🤘🏻

Check out Floor's version at Beste Zangers show! Unfortunately there's no official Nightwish video doing this song with Floor, but that BZ performance was excellent and you'll love it.

Floor did the song on the Beste Zangers show, but not with Nightwish. Tarja generally never goes that high, except in this song. Other great ones to check out with Tarja are "Walking in the Air", "The Pharoah Sails to Orion", "Deep Silent Complete", "Dead Boy's Poem" (From Wishes to Eternity video), "Beauty of the Beast" (studio or live in Amsterdam)

I love Tarja!!!

You know its amazing how many people hear this and have no idea what phantom of the opera is.

Marko's voice is also really awesome, they complement each other so well

do .. Slaying the dreamer.. Tarja's version is better than Floor's for that song. Also Wishmaster & Wish I had an Angel..

The original Tarja, mid nineties people were gobsmacked by this,I saw them live and they were great. They still are now with Floor. Ty for the reaction.

Yeap... Slaying The Dreamer - live End of an Era should definitely be the next one

You should check more Nightwish with Tarja like "10th man down" "Planet Hell" "End of all Hope"

You have to react to "High Hopes" from this same concert in Helsinki in 2005. It's a Pink Floyd cover. I love the eerie atmosphere they create, each and every guy shines in that one, and Marko's vocals!!!

If you liked the Tarja way of singing, then you have to listen to the following songs. All from the same concert btw. - Slaying the dreamer!!! - The siren - Dark chest of wonders - Everdream And from her solo career -Victim of ritual -Supermacy (Muse Cover)!!! There she uses a lot of powerfull vocals. You'll like it. 😁👌

I never be able to choose between Tarja, Anette or Floor fo Nightwish music so i decided to like them all 😍

Tarja 💗

Hear Floor and Henk Poort in the show Beste Zangers 2019🥰

Same consert sleeping sun or whismaster👍😊

You should really check out Tarja doing the song Planet Hell.

Nightwish nostalgia, love it. Watching this performance. Tarja was canned right after this show.

Here's a few recommendations: Nightwish - Dead Boy's Poem Live (From Wishes For Eternity DVD) Nightwish - Pharaoh Sails To Orion Live (From Wishes To Eternity DVD) Nightwish - Sleeping Sun Live (End of an Era DVD) Nightwish - The Siren Live (End of an Era DVD) Tarja - Lost Northern Star Live (Act I DVD) Tarja - The Reign Live (Act I DVD) Tarja - Into The Sun Live (Act I DVD) Tarja - Never Enough Live at Summerbreeze 2014 Tarja & Mike - Led Zeppelin Medley Words can not describe my love for Tarja 😂💕

Slaying the Dreamer from same show is massive as well! 🤘

What I really love about nightwish is that the music composition is so well done. No instrument over takes any other instrument
