Most bands have a songwriter... Nightwish has a COMPOSER !

Maybe you can let her watch the video Floor made reacting to herself doing this at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish and how she felt that day. This and so many more presents Floor left on her KZfaq channel to unpack.

After discovering NIGHTWISH, Floor Jansen and this song about 3 years ago, now I am still addicted to it, and to watching people have that first experience too...

I felt the same as you four years ago. Floor blew me totally away. So much so we flew last year June from the other "down under" (South Africa) to gop watch NW and Floor live in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. It was somewhat of a divine experience. My wife an ardent non metal head cried when she heard Floor sing💥💥💥💥💥

Floor🌷 was born to be there, on the throne at the top of the world. She's the One.

Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Gulf Coast Florida Black Company reporting for duty!

Floor can do any style, this is one of the reasons we love her so. Nightwish army Denmark reporting in.

Always great to watch someone’s face watching Floor hit THAT note for the first time!

Yes! Show her all of Floor! I will be there for the journey!

The ending of Ghost Love Score was Floor's idea & changes of which Tuomas gave his blessing to add it to the live shows after hearing it once in soundcheck

Words are not sufficient to describe this incredible composition and live performance. One I can think of is HISTORIC. Great to see you again Ali. Be well my friends.

Being without words is a huge and well deserved compliment!! I consider it the best reaction. Thanks guys.

I saw Nightwish live in Birmingham UK in November 2022. I have seen many, many top bands, Nightwish are truly awesome. The best live band I've ever seen, without a doubt. Congratulations to your friend, she's just had her first Floorgasm.😊

Amazing reaction....Hail to the Queen Floor Jansen the best singer on The Planet...I love Nightwish the best symphonic metal band on the World ..❤

Did you notice when she comes up she literally "grabs" ( 3:25 ) the attention of the audience and in the end she "releases" ( 14:44 ) them again ...

Great reaction! And now the new relesed song /video Perfume of the timeless ? First single from upcomming Album in september. Greetings from nwAse Sweden

Thank you for a great reaction. The versatility of Floor's voice is incredible: She can sing all from opera (watch "O mio babbino caro" or "The phantom of the opera" together with Henk Poort at Beste Zangers 2019) to death metal growls (watch "Disdain" with her former band ReVamp at Graspop 2010 or with Nightwish "Yours is an empty hope" at Wembley 2015 - Floor is doing the growling there, not Marco). Floor is one of the best singers of our time, after many years of hard work near perfection, and at the same time a kind, humble and down-to-earth person. And she is an empath, a gift and curse at the same time, who is able to transform this with her singing. Therefore I very often cry when listening to her. She brings me in touch with my deepest emotions.

can only imagine the rest of the band thinking post show 'well, our new singer's not too shabby' ... also, every member of the band completely nailed it

Grit - Romanticide next. Great reaction! Gabriel of the Nightwish Army will likely be along shortly with massive background on the band. The reaction to that last belt is known as a "Floorgasm" and it doesn't get old.

Not many songs invoke a profound image in my head, but at the end when she sings "my fall will be for you" I imagine a queen walking the front line of a battle field infront of her beloved soldiers who have sacrificed everything for her and these lyrics, words are to make them know that she is aware and that if she is to die it is for them and she is grateful, and as the image comes into my mind I feel the immense sorrow of the soldiers, their Hearts breaking and so I shed a tear for the feeling of the soldiers. It's bizarre but that's what I get from the end sequence of this song

Every time I hear Floor sing it blows my mind and puts good tears in my eyes

Yeah, the song itself is a masterpiece of songwriting and this performance is totally epic.

A nice reaction, thank you😘 Almost everyone I know who is experiencing this for the first time becomes emotional. Nice to experience this together with your wife🤘

Between being a temporary touring vocalist in 2012 to a permanent member in 2013, Floor has now been with Nightwish for a total of 12 years, longer than Tarja and much longer than Anette - a brand new single & official video, has just been released, called Perfume of the Timeless, from the upcoming album called Yesterwynde that will hit us in September

The look in your eyes when Floor hit the final belt was epic.

Thanks for pointing out that this is a re-upload. As a collector of GTS reactions (atm 1913 and counting) I really appreciate this info...

I really like watching husband and wife reactions. Great work you guys🤘🤘

The reason for the ROAR (which I love too) is that's Floor's contribution to the song, not done by past singers. It serves to assure the audience their favorite band is going to be just fine. Great job! 🤘😎👍

😁I know this smile! 😉 Welcome back 🌷. Thank you for this wonderful reaction 😄 and Greetings from Germany 🤗 alex and ☝️ EMPPU RULES 😎🤘

Floor’s presence and superb talent and the bands perfectionist live performances are second to none. They always amaze on all levels 🤘🤘 Riding the Nightwish express. It takes you away. You don’t know where they’ll take you but you know it going to be friggin’ epic.🤘🤘

If she has experienced Tarja she might want to hear her original version of this song to understand the changes made by Floor. So many of the crowd didn't expect this as previous singer, Anette Olzon, couldn't sing it. Also Floor sings songs written for Anette and they are better than the originals.

I have watched this performance a zillion times now. And the strange thing is: I keep tearing up. No escaping from it. But when Floor does "Alone" from Heart, recorded at home, or "Shallow" in the show: " de beste zangers", translated "the best singers", I have to cry. She is an amazing one of a kind human being. It is not only the most perfect voice ever; It is also her stage presence, her gestures, her looks, her ability to rule the crowd, and above all her ability to transfer emotion into the hearts of the helpless spectators....And the most fantastic thing is: She remains a very very humble nice person. Even after all these successes, she remains loyal to herself. Indeed a unique woman. And when you combine that with a composer like Tuomas and a band like Nightwish....in my opinion history is being written here. Mozart and Beethoven, make room for Nightwish.

EVer Dream would be a good one. Or Seven days to the wolves from Wembley. Great video guys, this is why people watch reaction videos... to see someone being at a complete loss for words like that, but a big silly smile :)

Hi Guys, that was a great reaction, thanks Before introducing Ali to some of the great songs, why don't you both treat yourselves to reacting to a brand new song that Nightwish released just last week? Of course it is not a live performance, but it does have an awesome music video. It is a song from their upcoming new album due to be released in September. The song is called "Perfume Of The Timelsess". I think that you both will love it 😉

She really sounds amazing, but i can tell you when you hear her live on stage she even sounded better i saw here in afas live and i heard all of her songs and they sounded awesome but when you hear her in front of you.....pffff really mindblowing great reaction btw

1st, thank you for introducing your lady to Floor and reintroducing her to Nightwish! Maybe the 2 of you could watch the entire Wacken concert From KZfaq?! K maybe asking a lot, how about their "New" release, 🎶Perfume of the Timeless🎶. 🪖 NW Army Canada🪖 watching for more, please!🙏👀

Tarja is pronounced as "Tar-ya" Also regarding Floor, someone has misled you: Wacken wasn't her first concert with Nightwish. She joined the band on October 1, 2012. Their performance at Wacken was on August 3, 2013 and that was her 46th concert with Nightwish.

The ending is what Floor created herself, it did not excist when Tarja sung it. She is a true gift to Nightwish and therefor us.

Allie, that was one of the best reactions to Floor with Nightwish that I've seen lately. Thank you. I wish I could go back in time to experience all these songs again for the first time. :) Subbed.

Smart Dad! Nightwish Army, Blue Mountains Corps, Australia! Nightwish since 1996. Here for the Nightwish (and friends) ride! Epica, Kamelot, Amaranthe, Arch Enemy, Delain, Within Temptation....... so many!

Being a LOTR fanatic, I loved your reference to the trilogy 😉. Very good reaction by the way.

Yep, that'll do for me...15:51 "This is the definition of art". Six words that succinctly describes 'Ghost Love Score' by Nightwish.

In love Floor especially with NW-songs, but also when done solo in Amsterdam eg. - or Shallow or Alone or or.....

If you want her to see more ground breaking vocals of Floor May i suggest Shoemaker. If you want versatility Floor s appearences in the beszt szanger show. Harsh vocals in Yours is an empty hope or Disdain from her previous band. Or the vídeo of she singing the Phone book. Choose, she is the Goodess of vocals.

YESSSS, *love* that reacting with your wife is going to be a regular thing. I really like your reactions, and enjoy your reactions together even more. Keep them coming!

Storytime, Romanticide, Phantom of the Opera, Yours is an empty hope................. The list goes on and on and on. ❤

Show your wife some more Nightwish... I'll sub...

Good, welcome back, greetings from Colombia

Welcome aboard!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!

Nice Iron Maiden poster. Welcome to the Nightwish Army. Floor is an Angel.

This is the 13th song of a 15 song set , the stamina is amazing , shout out to the drummer . I think Floor has increased he power of this band by 30% compared to Tarja

Always amazing. 😊

For pure Floor vocals, watch ‘How’s the Heart ‘ planet rock acoustic version. Just Floor and Troy. If you think the final note in Ghost Love Score was awesome, you’re definitely in for a treat!

Great to see fellow Aussies reacting to Nightwish! I hope we get a chance to see them live one day!

When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen(Yansen). Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill, Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour. 'Please learn the setlist in 48 hours Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solo tour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album 'My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton) daughters Freja (turned 7 years this march) and Lucy (born last october) ,a couple of horses, dogs and cats. Welcome to NightWish and the NightWish army will come. NightWish army member from Texas

Their Wacken performance is absolute 🔥⚡️🤘. Love every song of it. 🥰 Since you are going to Wacken this year, make sure to check out The Warning. They are 3 sisters from Mexico and their live performances are equally amazing as this Nightwish show. Edit: The Warning is not a metal band, they are rock band and it’s their first time playing at Wacken. Grtz from The Netherlands

Great video! Nightwish Army checking in USA and subscribed. Hope yall do more videos from Wakken 2013.

Great reaction and greetings from Finland. The northern division of the Nightwish Army reporting. Please introduce more Nightwish plus our Valkyrie Queen to your wife. For example one of my favorites on KZfaq: Nightwish - I Want My Tears Back (Floor Jansen) [Decades - Live In Buenos Aires 2019]. The concert in Buenos Aires was in 2018, although the video title says 2019.

oh.. great .. great reaction and more to come (please) 😉 Greetings from NW-Army-Germany and SabatonFan❤‍🔥

Great reaction! As an aside, my favorite release of all time (no pun intended) is your awesome poster that I also have. IM's Somewhere in Time. \m/

Glad you never react to a slowed down version of this. Like so many have without ever realising.

This was actually the end of the tour and Floor had been in the band for a few months here.

Hi Guys, I am a big Nightwish army member. You should put the Danish band "Within Temptation" on the reaction list. Somewhat similar to Nightwish and has sold more albums. Try the songs "Faster" or "The Reckoning". Explain the bands to "The Hu" songs "Wolf Totem" or "Black Thunder". Good luck.

Perfect reaction from the newbie!

Bienvenidos al mundo de Nightwish 👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️

Epic intro? Watch "Perfume of the Timeless", their latest single (video first)! And as for Floor's first time with NW at Wacken: she already performed there with her band After Forever in 2004! Oozing talent and energy💓(and fun) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJmZq8dlza2vh2Q.htmlsi=QMby7XBXw_1vdNOn

congrats young lady you just invented a brand new floorgasm, flubbing your words or toungue twisting, never seen that one, hey boss show her the floor jansen version of slow love slow in amsterdam, incredible jazzy soul performance by the valkyrie goddess, its totally different genre almost from the power belting songs

Oh man we are always excited watching new people discovering Nightwish. I think probably Storytime would be the natural next song. And then "She is my sin", see if you can find the version where Marko introduces Floor to the audience ❤ Anyway GREAT to see you and enjoy the rabbithole 🤘❤

Hello Let you know that Floor Jansen has her KZfaq channel. Floor critique and analyze her vocals on an episode. She gives her analysis.

Great Reaction!

Love to see them live. I feel like them, rammstein etc, will be bands ill miss when they are still decent tbh

up next THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH

The accolades to Floor is just, what about the guys? The drummer (Jukka?) is insane. The timing he keeps( all three signatures) for the guys is phenomenal. After Neil Piert he is my favorite drummer.

Singers sing what they can, Floor sings what she wants ❤once she sang the phonebook in a Dutch radioshow ❤and It sound like a real song ❤her voice just touch your soul and grab your heart ❤she is one of a kind ❤our Valkyrie queen ❤

hi there, i know Nightwish should be experienced and listened always as "Live!!!" recordings BUT, i would love to see her reaction to SHOEMAKER official video...

@Jaimunji: Hey guys! My comment isn't about Floor or Nightwish, as I'll leave that to other people. My comment is about another female singer who is getting a lot of recognition lately: Brittney Slayes of Unleash the Archers! I say this because I saw you have the Iron Maiden poster behind you of Iron Maiden, and their album titled "Somewhere in Time." I find that to be a happy little coincidence, because I have two live performances for you to check out. First is Iron Maiden performing Hallowed Be Thy Name, live at the Hammersmith, in 1982. This performance is what I call the "Ghost Love Score of the 1980s." Not only is it I believe Bruce Dickinson's first live performance singing for Iron Maiden, but Hallowed Be Thy Name had not even been released on its album yet. This is also the performance where Bruce became known as "The Human Air Raid Siren." Fast-forward to 2024, this year: Arjen Lucassen, a prog-rock composer who has been writing music since before I was born, put together a live Ayereon show this year. Arjen, by the way, is known for bringing the best of the best together for his projects, such as Ayereon and Star-One. He still holds the record at the number of vocalists on one track with 11 vocalists on the track "The Day That The World Breaks Down." But this comment is more about Canadian Brittney Slayes singing Fate of Man, a Star-One song that is based on the 1984 move Terminator. Brittney Slayes is known by us "Archers" (The Unleash the Archers fandom) as "The Female Bruce Dickinson." And she is getting known for her talent as well, as she filled in for Floor during one of Ayereon's shows. And for the live performance of Fate of Man, Brittney has Floor's sister Irene singing backup for her, in a song that is a fitting tribute for the Terminator movie franchise. Fate of Man is also the only live performance of Brittney Slayes where audio difficulties are not present, thus the sound of the recording is very clean, like Wacken 2013. But check out both Fate of Man live with Brittney Slayes, as well as Hallowed Be Thy Name live in 1982, with Iron Maiden! You won't regret either performance, I guarantee it!

Hi guys from your new subscriber wintersun Alex USA ❄️👋🤟👍

Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty: Good thing to introduce her to this great piece of music - Thanks for doing that ! Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul….:-)...you are hooked already :-) It never gets old to see people freeze when our Queen starts to sing…. About Ghost Love Score: Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again. Next one should be: Storytime from Wacken 2013 ! Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !

Subbed before you spoke, saw the Maiden poster! haha Love Nightwish too!

Floor can (and does) sing everything from metal screams and growls to grand opera. Heres a snippet from from a live show of part of a song from the latest Nightwish album. kzfaq.info2XKKwQCKJw0?feature=share

you have to do their new one "perfume of the timeless"

May I make a suggestion for you to react to nightwishs sister band wintersun? Nightwish has band members that were in wintersun before. My wintersun suggestions for you to react to are wintersun sons of winter and stars 1.5 official lyric video and next is wintersun time live rehearsal at sonic pump studio in helsinki finland. So if you love nightwish you'll love wintersun. Thank you wintersun Alex USA ❄️👋🤟👍

can u imagine that she had to learn this set in 48 hr

Good one.

well dude show her more NW with Floor, very good reaction thanks from Colorado

I got introduced to nightwish, through a male artist, doing some of their covers. They are a great band, and he does them justice. Dan Vasc is the artist. You won't be disappointed.

I'm really glad you didn't pause too much! 🤣

Elan and my Walden are worth reacting to by Nightwish

Take her through the whole catalog

🤩👍💥💯🎼 🤘😎💙🎶 "Weak Fantasy" live in Tampere 2015 next by them(???)

YES!!!

🖤🤘🔥

Ghost Love SCORE!!!!!!!

Tarja's name is actually pronounced Tarya

Mommy Floor slayes again

detalle del 5 mis respetos

great command :) 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Maybe too easy, but a toss-up between Romanticide and Ever Dream... Regardless, she must continue down this glorious rabbit hole! Well done Cheers rl 🤘👹🤘

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 Great Job And welcome again to the Nightwish family and you are an asset to the responses in that regard!! 😘
