The nightwish army will be here shortly! Good luck!

I've watched this video 237,233 times and I still cry every time.

They're a Finnish band with a Dutch lead singer singing in English to a German audience.

Floor is a Valkyrie. I am surprised a bolt of light didn't erupt from her on that high note and split the heavens.

Floor is a smidge over 6 feet tall and very fit so she is a Amazonian woman.

Goosebumps inspired by Floor are called Floorgasms, and they’re how new Nightwish fans are born.

Here is some information to help you navigate their music. It is my standard speech...... :-) I subbed............. Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female fronted symphonic metal band. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now still is. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just saw her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. Lol

Her name is Floor Jansen "The flying Dutchwoman" she is tall at 6'1 tallest in the band. She sings operatic, rock, classic, in Spanish, growls, everything, she is the most versatile singer in the world today, and one of the most humble and gracious. She joined Nightwish in 2012 in the middle of their USA tour when they fired their singer Anette Olson in Salt Lake City, and called Floor, who was at her sister's wedding, and they asked her "Learn out setlist in 48 hours" and she mmet them 48 hours later in Seattle for her first show. This show is 10 months later and she still had not been asked to become a permanent member yet, that change after this performance she was asked and her answer was a resounding "YES

Every single time I hear this performance I get chills

Poet and the Pendulum, Sam...but it has a pretty hardcore backstory, so you might just want to check that out first so it has more meaning. Also, please use captions on it so you can understand what's going on. :) Thanks so much for your reactions!!!!

Floor Jansen is or was a vocal coach as well so this is a case of talent combined with knowledge. And hard work as well, of course. She's great.

I'm addicted to watching Floor reactions. Lol you did not disappoint. Thank you. She is amazing! 💜

Depending on who you ask, Floor is either 6' or 6' 1". I am 6' and have met the band at a couple of meet and greets and she had about 4" on me. She was wearing boots but I would say 6' 1" is probably where she's at. She is the total package. Great talent, VERY attractive and she seems like a really nice person. The whole band is awfully nice too not to mention extremely talented. You can't help but root for them. Long live Nightwish.

I would recommend “Storytime “ from the same show. I think you would love it.

Nightwish army, checking in. I saw "Nightwish" and "reaction" so I clicked. Welcome to Nightwish fanhood.

She hit that high note at the end, and his soul left him. Lol

The Nightwish Army is here. This singer is Floor Jansen. When Ann Waychoff gets to your comments, she'll give you all the info you need.

One thing that surprises me the most is how many people have never, ever, listened or heard anything from Nightwish.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish

Floor is one the most versatile singer today,his vocal range is amazing ❤️🤘

"So, first of all, why have I never heard of Nightwish? This is a travesty!" You're damned right

Welcome to the party! I think youre the first Scottish reactor ive seen checking out Nightwish :) - Im Glaswegian so im very happy to see more Scots checking this band out :) If youre interested in more stuff from these guys then Storytime should probably be your next stop :)

That's what everyone says. "How have I not heard of these people?" Welcome to the family man. Your journey has just begun.

Welcome to the underworld! May your journey be wild. Our valkyrian Queen collected one more soul \m/

Floor Jansen is not only a singer, she's also a vocal coach. ;) And she still brings tears in my eyes when she totally goes for it. Yes, I get teary Floorgasms. lol

The music is called symphonic metal and i very populair in Europe and South America. The band is from Finland and founded 1996. So far the band has had 3 vocalists 1 Tarja Turunen (Finish) pure opera voice also very good live. (until 2005) 2 Anette Olzon (Schwedish) more pop style. fine in the studio but not good live. (until 2012) 3 Floor Jansen* (Dutch) (current). * She is the vocalist you saw in this clip. She has a classical vocal background education and can sing any style she likes from jazz to opera high to growling low. Believe me when i tell you you have not even scratched the surface yet of what she's capable of. Band members Tuomas Holopainen (The keyboard player and creative mind behind the band. He writes about 95% of the music and lyrics) Marco Hietela (the viking with the long beard (Bass and vocals) Jukka "Julius" Nevalainen (The drummer) Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen (the hobbit like guitar player) Troy Donockley ( a person who did not play on this song but is a multi instrumentalist from the UK) The clip was shot a few months after Floor jointed the band right in the middle of their US leg of the world tour. They asked her to join after tensions between the previous (Anette) vocalist and the rest of the band had rissen so high that they fired her. With close to a year still to go to complete the tour, and their next concert planned 2 day later they, needed a replacement fast. They called Floor because she had toured with them when she was part of the support bands"After Forever" and later "Revamp" on several occasions and they were quiet impressed by her vocals (who would not be?). She only had 2 days, including a flight from the Netherlands to the US, to learn the setlist and only had one rehearsal with the band a couple of hours before her first show and nailed it. Since they were making a documentary about the worldtour a lot of what happened was recorded. The documentary is called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rM51q86evLGxdYk.html ) As a next song to take a look at i would recommend their masterpiece "The poet and the pendulum" live at Wembley. Before you take a look at it i would recommend to take a look at the backstory of this song. This will make you appreciate it much more. here is the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nciebKqU37-mm6s.html BTW that last note she just sang? Nightwish fans created a whole new word for when she does something impressive like that. We call it a Floorgasm. Welcome to the club and boy are you going to receive a lot of traffic on your channel. ;-)

+ "oh it's a long video, 10 minutes" - me laughs in the greatest show on earth

The singers name is Floor Jansen, she is from the Netherlands. The Band is from Finnland and the location is Wacken in northern Germany :-)

Yes, she is indeed very tall. She’s the tallest person on that stage by a fair margin. XD. Floor Jansen is arguable the best singer in the business right now, a true power house and incredibly versatile. This is a great song, but it only covers about 15% of what she’s capable of. Anything live from her is worth a listen, but the typical follow ups to this song are either Romanticide, Song of Myself, Ever Dream, or Storytime. Stick with the Live from Wacken 2013 for now, but the recordings from Wembley 2015 and Tampere 2016 are also phenomenal.

Should have him do Ghost River so he can get a feel for their Male singer / the base player.

Long live the queen.

This entire concert is AMAZING.... as well as anything else they have done with Floor in front. Floor gets much more animated than during this song, her stage presence and theatrics are second to none. and this is merely a sample of her vocal range and talents

Well the 6' 1" (1.8542 meters) Dutch dynamo, Floor Jansen (J is sounded as a Y) a/k/a to her fans as the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal slays another unsuspecting soul. Floor is just the definition of power, range and stage presence. She sings what ever she wants and changes her style on the fly without warning as you can see and hear. If drives like she sings she is a menace on the road (LOL)!! The band and her were performing LIVE, which is the only way to appreciate this band, before 80,000 metal-heads in Wacken, Germany just after Floor was made a member of the band. Some coming out party and this concert all 15 songs (this one was done 70+ minutes into the song set) are truly awesome. Try their Folk Metal sound with Celtic bagpipes mixed in, I Want My Tears back (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ncddm7VoqL_Gp4U.html). The band is incredible and always plays tight LIVE and Floor well Floor is Floor, from Operatic, to Metal, to Pop to Growling and everything in between!! Nice reaction and once you start down this rabbit hole it will swallow you whole!!!!

Sam, you just got goosebumps .... we call it you had a FLOORGASM. Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!!!

Floor Jansen! Don't foget it. She is amazing! 6' 1" without heels. We call her the Valkyrie Queen. You know Nightwish is Finnish and Floor is Dutch! I have been to Scotland many times and it is one of my favorite country's in the whole world. Scottish history is one of my passions. I would suggest either "Ever Dream" or "Story Tome" both from the same show. More rock oriented and shorter but still masterpieces of vocalizations.

Your reaction was perfect. No one has described her posture as perfect as you before. Thank you.

The song kills me every single time, the end simply turns me into a emotional wreck. Floor has a long history in Dutch melodic metal. Am a fan from the beginning and when I heard she would become a part of Nightwish, it was like a dream come true

Best facial reactions - 10:18 when she puts the edge in her voice, 12:56 and 13:02 when she hits those notes! As someone who has been in an orchestral band when I was in HS, when you hear musical notes, you can anticipate where the next ones are going based on context. You can see it in his face at 13:02 he's thinking, "Oh wow, I know what note is coming nex- SHE HIT IT! Wow!!!!". I had the same reaction when I saw this song - SO great to see it in other people's faces too. :D

Love nightwish! If you really want to hear the best vocal range for Floor try to give Poet and the Pendulum at Wembly a listen. You need to know a bit before you go into that one though. Poet and the pendulum was written by (as were all of the songs actually) by Toumas, the keyboardist when they parted with their first lead singer Tarja (Floor is the third and current singer). There was a lot of backlash towards him on the decision to the point where he contemplated suicide, so he decided to write a song where he killed himself instead. The song talks about his inner struggles on the whole ordeal, and the last bit of the song is what his mother told him, that i feel made him continue on to this day. Great reaction and I hope to see more nightwish reactions from you! The nightwish army is coming, be prepared lol

CONGRATULATIONS! Officially half the population of the earth has now reacted to this video. Great milestone!

Sam: Can't have it all. Haha... Floore: Is that a challenge?

That is Floor Jansen the Queen of metal. Floor is 6'1" in bare feet than add the heels? Thanx for the review. Get ready for the Nightwish army. they will be here soon. Ann AKA the Nightwish MOMMA will be here soon she has al the info on Nightwish.

Thank You! Really nice pick Sir! Always a time for some Nightwish ❤. Keep em' coming!

FUN FACT: Floor is 6' (1.83m) tall. Her husband, Hannes, is 6'7" (2.01m) tall. Their children may rule us all!

Please react to Nightwish - Everdream at wacken open air 2013.

To whomever started this "React to Floor's voice in Ghost Love Score": THANK YOU! These videos are truly the appreciation of her magnicificent voice and presence during live shows. I thought that Tarja couldn't be replaced in the band, but here we are :) I'm so glad she joined Nightwish.

You may well find this interesting. She is currently on a Dutch TV show called Beste Sangers (Best Singers) where they gather a group of singers .. all Dutch .. and they then take turns and everyone sings a song that is either by or important to one of the singers each week. She has so far sang in German, Dutch and Spanish kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osl8epiJls-WgYE.html .. sings a kinda Operatic Rock for the Older gentleman (he sings opera) .. is song his mother sang to him as a child (in German) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdBhnMWL19C1hKc.html .. sings in Dutch to the woman in Red (her song) .. on another page someone commented that she has a Southern Dutch accent kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esyJmK-G1NfbYHk.html .. sings in Spanish to the guy in White and gray .. his song

Try Poet & the Pendulum live at Wembley 2016 next. 🙏🏻❤️

A friend introduced me to Nightwish in 2001 and I fell in love with them. The contrasting sound of the band and Tarja simply amazed me. Once she was no longer in the band I stopped listening to Nightwish. About 2 weeks ago I found this song while introducing my son, a musician, to different typesof music. I am once again in love with Nightwish and have been catching up on what all I have missed. Floor is amazing and a perfect fit .O recommend listening to this whole concert. You won't be disappointed.

"Why havent I heard of nightwish", the question asked by many reactors 😂😂

Luckily no one in my life has never said “why haven’t heard of Nightwish?” You sir have experienced greatness, and now must pass it on

Welcome to the Nightwish Army Have you been addicted? Of course you have 😁😁😁😁 More Nightwish more Floor and more being addicted Greeting from Indonesia

Get ready for more than a few thousand views and a couple thousand new subs, keep the Nightwish coming

Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish! I look forward to watching your journey into this amazing band : )

13:04 When the vocal coach turns away from the high note in ecstatic shock, you know you've done your job.

Thumbs up Sam for genuine reaction and authentic analyzing. Here's few more highly recommended live Nightwish, most in ultra high quality 4k resolution (best version available) and all with straight links and with track description: 1) Nightwish - The Last Ride of The Day (Live at Tampere 2015 in 4k): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f72SitVptZbMqIE.html (Description: Absolute anthem-like headbanger showcasing more rocking side of Nightwish plus the immensily powerfull harmony vocals by lead vocalist Floor & bassist Marco) 2) Nightwish - The Poet And The Pendulum (Live at Wembley 2016, HD with lyrics): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6uqjbV-2c7MiIk.html (Description: Opposite contrast to "Ghost Love Score", this dark toned track has both aggressive or melancholic transitions and Floor's even more sweeping vocal range. This one is keyboardist/songwriter Tuomas's most personal song, dealing with original lead singer Tarja Turunen departure from the band in 2005 and his (very) dark feelings and impact it had on him. NOTE: Floor's arresting delivery is the key component why this performance resonates with so many seasoned Nightwish listeners. 3) Nightwish - 7 Days to the Wolves (Live at Wembley 2016 in 4k): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grWDptmV28_cp58.html (Description: Showcase of a heavy groovy mid-tempo side of Nightwish with dynamic transitions and smooth harmony vocals by Marco & Floor.) 4) Nightwish - She is my Sin: (Live at Tampere 2015 in 4k): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obSPiMhl1rGwoo0.html (Description: Solid vintage era Nightwish track with yet another Floor's vocal showcase) 5) Nightwish - Weak Fantasy (Live at Tampere 2015 in 4k): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbqCacxmns7OY40.html (Description: Powerhouse track with tribalistic drum beat, strong duo vocals by Floor & Marco + on point lyrics about humankind's darker side. Here Floor's expressive "storytelling" qualities are on full display) 6) Nightwish - Shudder Before the Beautiful (Live in Tampere 2015 in 4k): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fN9kdZli2sqmfmw.html (Description: Grand scale opener from their latest 2015 album with increasingly epic harmony vocals by Floor & Marco. The pipes are on!)

WELCOME to our world, the Nightwish world. :o) Floor Jansen is their singer, and you, dear boy, have just had a 'Floorgasm'. :o)

I love people's first reaction to her singing because its different reactions but it all comes back to that she is really fantastic singer

This song needed multiple stages to realy grow up into this sort of perfection. This was by the way her first time singing this Song in Wacken Open Air (North Germany) in 2013. The Symphonic Parts are done by the London Symphonic Orchestra.

she is about 185cm and when i met her it was kinda intimidatng :D but she is the best singer in the world i love her

Floor is a Goddess 🖤🖤🖤🖤

She's got some SEROUS talent - it gets a tear to my eye each time I hear her sing like that (the part towards the end). I can't stop saying that I'm just blown away. I've never seen anyone sing the way she does.

thank you for your honest reaction, from a dutch Nightwish fan, and yes she is dutch, and we are so proud that she is from the Netherlands!

Mate that big smile of yours at the end of the song is exactly the reason why we all love this band. No more words needed :)

Ans welcome on a Nightwish journey)

Goosebumps ?? Thats a FLOORGASM !! Her voice is perfection.

Some good songs that many have reacted to from Nightwish, are "Poet and the Pendulum", "The greatest show on earth" and her duet with another soprano from the band Epica, the song "Sancta Terra".

You're in for a ride. Enjoy!!!

Just so you know, this band's been through tons of drama. They had 2 singers before Floor. The first was Tuomas's school friend, Tarja. He wrote The Poet and the Pendulum after having to fire her. They have a wonderful cover of Phantom of the opera with her, and if you dl the studio of this, she'll be on that too. The second was Anette, who's a good vocalist, but at that time, at least, really struggled live because of all the drama. There's a live version of Slow, Love, Slow where she did alright. If you listen to that or the official vid to Bye,Bye, Beautiful after Tarja's stuff, you'll see why fans were livid. I feel hearing the other singers helps you see Tuomas's mindset and really drives home the emotion. Don't forget to do some songs with Troy and Marco :) Glad you enjoyed

Enjoyed your reaction. Waiting for the next!

Floor is a goddess!

I love Floor Jansen and I love Nightwish. This concert was 6 years ago and I saw them 3 times since then. You have to listen a more recent concert of them. Floor has improved her mastering of songs written previously for Tarja, and it is now better (even if you think it is not possible, it is). And their new songs are really great too. I can't wait their next album !!

I'm so happy you reacted to Nightwish. I love your channel! They are fantastic!

I’m always amazed at how effortless she sings regardless of the force she is using. It always looks effortless

Do I hear a little Scottish accent? 🤩 I love it!

Excellent job - nice one. The easy place to go from here is Romanticide from the same concert. The sideways place to go is Sancta Terra by Epica from their Live Retrospect show. This is a duet between Simone Simons, Epica's own excellent singer, and Floor Jansen (both Dutch and best friends). It's a bit good... ;-)

NW army is coming hard, and you only begining, although you must react to poet and the pendulum, you need to prepare first. Song of Myself, Romanticide or Your is an Empty Hope are Good to see the full range of Floor... You will find opera, grawling and all fantastic

Just wanted to let you know that this video alone got a sub from me. Your reaction was priceless. Thank you for giving us this amazing video. Since you seem to love Nightwish, might I suggest reacting to the other 2 thirds of the symphonic metal trinity, Epica and Within Temptation. All three of these bands will blow your mind for hours and hours.

Everyone who hears the Floor for the first time says: "She's got such an angelic voice". She does indeed. She's the reason why I started to listen to Nightwish again after 2005. And yes, she is 6'1ft tall, so quite tall for a lady.

The part of this that I've always found impressive is that this song is well over an hour into a show that was NONSTOP!

Floor is just amazingly versatile. Anything she's done with Nightwish is worth a listen. Right now though, I'm just soaking up everything she's been doing on the Dutch show Beste Zangers. It's 3 episodes in and she's sung in German, Dutch, and Spanish each with wildly different styles.

Nightwish has a wide span of tunes from the more slow ballads like sleeping sun and while your lips are still red... to the more uptempo as romanticide, wishmaster, storytime... But in 2007 the band started to work with Troy Donockely, a multi instrumentalist from England. And he laid down pipes on a few song on "dark passion play". He was soon looked upon as a member, so 6 years later he was added as the 6th member. His entrance gave them a more folk inspired irish/Scottish sound, which you can hear on songs like "My Walden" and "the islander".

One of the joys of Nightwish is the variation of styles they perform from the heavier songs to folky, operatic and rock but one of the constants is the Tuomas' excellent compositions. The more you check them out the more your will find to enjoy for sure.

I love Nightwish so much and Floor in particular. She kills the song into atoms... and give all cred to the drummer (he's also awesome ofc).

Floor used to do quite a bit of body building and she’s quite tall as well. She’s trained in classical, musical theatre and rock and has spent a long time as a vocal coach herself. She can also play the piano, guitar and violin. The reaction to her last note is universal; it has this primal power behind it, like an unstoppable force of nature. Let’s not leave out Tuomas, the composer behind this music (and the keyboards).

I loves watching vocal coaches reacting to a vocal coach.

My daughter introduced me to Nightwish about ten years ago, and this is their 3rd female singer! They are awesome!!! At 68, I've heard a few!

You may be interested to know that this was sung 90-minutes into a 2-hour set. Also there were 82,000 people at that concert. Nightwish's other vocalist is their bassist, Marco Heitala. His rendition of "High Hopes" [live from the End of an Era concert] is also amazing. Thanks for your reaction.

Loved seeing your first dip into the Nightwish pool, I’m a newer fan and the whole band is amazing. I’d also suggest giving Epica a listen, specifically Sancta Terra with Floor as a guest. The orchestra, choir, Simone & Floor together is divine!

lol "She's kind of glowy purply-blue, Not sure if that was intentional" yes, that would be their lighting guy! Nightwish has always had pretty good lighting, even back in the 90s when they were a tiny little metal group. Love that this was your first song of theirs; it's one of their oldest that they still play, but it hasn't really been amended much since the keyboardist wrote it. They also had other, previous vocalists, but neither had the range or magnificence of Floor. And as a fellow Floor Fan, welcome to the club!

Welcome to Nightwish! There are many more songs and performances to enjoy from all three singers

This GLS live version is the perfect example or reference for anyone who wanna start to be a Singer or just wanna make a Band because there are alot of things that we can learn in this video such as their music arrangement, vocal's techniques, and everything in the show it self.

The moment she started singing he was taken away. That's the power of the Floorgasm ladies and gents

Don't do poet and the pendulum, you are not prepared. A better song to get in to them is Song of my self from the same concert as this one.

A couple of days late, but welcome to the world of Nightwish. Hoping you'll do more of their songs. We do have a spot open for you in the Nightwish army ;-)

I love the fact that Nightwish reaction videos are on KZfaq so much now! New reactors pop up all the time as well, it's so cool. Been a fan for over 15 years, excellent band, always been great because of the composition abilities of Tuomas (keyboard player). He's been able to skilfully write songs for all three of their singers, to fit their different voices. And Floor can sing most things, she does the older material very well. This was originally written for the first singer, Tarja, who was very much a classical singer back then. Floor's made it her own and I enjoy both versions.

You gotta check out the song romanticide from that same show...

"The Goosie's" when listening to Nightwish with Floor Jansen is called a "Floorgasm", You should also check out early Nightwish with Tarja Turunen "Phantom of the Opera" for a more Operatic sound.

WTF where the hell have I been, under a rock!!! I am blown away. Yep this is mega talent. WOW

Floor's got quite the back catalogue (and is doing De Beste Zangers on Dutch TV currently, which is an eclectic mix) She does a rather lovely rendition of O Mio Babbino Caro which is on YT.
