Am I only one who is completely hooked on watching Nightwish reaction videos?? Can`t get enough of them :D The best!!

The studio version with Annette is amazing. Floor's vocal range however is unmatched. When she sings a song, doesn't matter what it is, it becomes her own song.

To say that Toumas is a genius, is a massive understatement.

Floor deserves nightwish and nightwish deserves floor.

This song is about suicide. After Tarja left Tuomas went onto a deep depression. He thought about suicide. But he wrote this song about his suicide, instead of really committing suicide. He knew the pain he would leave behind. Tuomas writes songs to deal with his feelings and about things happening in his world and in the world around him. He also writes song dealing with things he has read. If you noticed the song started at the end and finished at the beginning. There are parts that he cannot listen to today. He has them turn his ear buds down in certain parts of the song. The reason the bassist and the guitarist go over to him at the end of the song is to show their support for him. I would like to suggest a couple of songs that should hit home in the US. He wrote one about the shooting at Colombine called "Kinslayer" and one about how the settlers and gov't dealt with the Indians called "Creek Mary's Blood" Live at The End of an Era concert with Tarja. Both songs are really good. Thank you for doing this song today. I hoped what I wrote helped you understand the song................. I will quit babbling now.............. :-)

FINALLY! Time for The Greatest Show On Earth - Live Tampere

This song is probably one of the masterpieces of the century, genre aside. The songwriting, the arrangement, the lyrics, the blend (and contrast) of heavy riffs, piano keys & vocals are absolutely on point. Let's not forget Tuomas has composed 95% of NW songs for the past 2 decades - his creativity and ability to pour emotion into songs is simply amazing. This song is also one of the heaviest (emotional) songs in the NW catalog.

Orgasms *FLOORgasms. Floorgasms. It's a technical term 👍

Why have i never heard of this band??? I couldn’t stop watching!!! Her vocal range is out of this world!!!!

Her name is Floor Jansen. I read in another YT video comments that when she sings, what she induces is called a floorgasm. Lol.

The final movement of this epic composition is perhaps the most beautiful, haunting and moving piece of music I have yet heard. When Floor's voice soars above the music, it gets me, every time. Tuomas has an uncanny knack of picking the most emotive notes/chords and, just as importantly, the correct instruments to play them. It also helps he has access to one of the best intruments in the band - Floor's voice.

Nightwish stopped making songs and started making movies through words and sounds..... live is truly magically

Next Nightwish song : The Greatest Show On Earth (Live At Tempere)! 21 minutes long, but 21 awesome minutes!! :D

I swear it's almost as if floor casts spells upon people when she sings, she's just that good.

I think he's in love with Floor Jansen. I don't blame him.

Not hating on Tarja or Annette, but I think Floor is the most well rounded vocalist from nightwish yet and I can't wait to hear more of what she can do.

I started listening to Nightwish after your reaction of Ghost love score. Only I know what I had been missing all these years. For now I'm hooked to every song of Nightwish and would definitely want to see them live. They're my favourite band at this moment and that isn't going to change for a while. Thank you so much for introducing me to them.

Floorgasms dude, not orgasms..

These guys are so lucky to have Floor sing for them. So far the best fit for Nightwish. Coming from a Finn, who was introduced to them while Tarja was fronting.

nightwish finally found the mermaid voice they deserved. Tarja was too deep in Opera (but we still miss her) Anette was too warm (fited perfectly like a telle-teller) But Floor is just perfect for this band!

I love the way floor can bridge the gab between tarja and annette vocally and and her own spin on top I would love to have seen her perform on imaginerium's-song of myself

Floors voice is magical!

The band is from Finland, but asked the Dutch singer Floor Jansen to join. Genius move! They are so made for each other!

You HAVE to do Romanticide with Floor. Her and Marco are so amazing together.

I was surprised it took you this long to get back to them after your initial reaction to Ghost Love Score. I know you did Phantom of the Opera with Tarja, but they have so much more to explore and so many different styles of songs. If you enjoyed this, I'm sure you'll enjoy The Greatest Show on Earth (Tempere 2015 show). Its another long epic multi transitional piece. They have some harder stuff too like Romanticide and Song of Myself. I know you enjoyed Phantom of the Opera with Tarja, you might also enjoy checking out Floor doing an old Nightwish song from the Tarja era where she sings in her opera voice called Stargazers (Tempere 2015 show). Floor is ridiculously gifted. She is a perfect fit for Nightwish imo.

I think, you're ready for The Greatest Show On Earth - Live Tampere

Recently got back into nightwish. Gotta say i'm Floored.

God, family, Nightwish, all three singers, and music in general is what literately got me through being diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer at the age of 31. 10 years later, I'm still listening, loving, and enjoying the pure beauty of their music. If you like Nightwish you will love WithinTemptation's Black Symphony. Another amazing band with a lead singer with a beautifully pure voice.

Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope 🤘

There's no one single video reaction I saw that people left out without feeling the FLOORGASM. As an old fan of her career I feel so happy to see many people finally giving the recognition she deserves. Nightwish is an amazing band but now with Floor they hitted a higher level.

Every song they do is a ballad with a story behind it, and when you listen to the lyrics and know the person behind them it all starts to make sense. Tuomas is probably the best poet of our lifetime.

As good as this song is, this isn't even one of my favorite Nightwish songs. They really are THAT good.

Symphonic Metal is my favourite too, with Nightwish being my favourite band...I've loved them for 15 years and finally got to see them live for the first time at the beginning of this year. Whenever they come back to the USA, you HAVE to go see them play live... hopefully next time I can get VIP tickets. Nightwish - Romanticide live at wacken 2013 Nghtwish - Yours is an empty hope live Nightwish - The greatest show on earth live at Tampere.

Remember, it's not a concert, it's a SHOW. A PERFORMANCE if you will.

I just recently discovered this band. As a metal fan I feel ashamed because HOLY SHIT! Absolutely beautiful...

NO, you will never find a more amazing band in your life. I am so happy you have found the love that we Nightwish fans have been enjoying for many years.

Epica - Sancta Terra live with Floor Jansen

This song, in particular this live video, is more than just a performance, it is an experience. You feel every word that is sung by Floor. It is a masterpiece, indeed.

one single song by Nightwish has the potential to be an entire album.. it's ridiculous how good this band is! #Floorgasm

Floor singing Everdream is insane aswell..

This Nightwish album should have come with a WARNING: "Caution while driving through the mountains with recently purchased Lord of the Rings swords. May cause intense urge to storm the Gates of Mordor". I had to concentrate HARD not to leap from my car with a sword and run Over the Hills and Far Away when I listened to this song for the first time. I totally get "there were two times where I don't even remember being alive".

Epica - Kingdom of Heaven !

Man, the first time I heard this song, especially the Mother & Father part, I bawled my freaking eyes out. I still get chocked up when I hear it. Not for any background meaning or anything else, just the pure beauty and emotion represented there, the love of a mother and a father for their child.

For those who didn't know: do you remember the child's voice saying "now I only have 3 minutes to count" at 7:58 and you had no idea what that means? Well, it's exactly 3 minutes from that moment - skip to 11:26 - this is where "the blade fell upon him" - he died in that song. Oh, and also, the first line of the song, is the child voice saying "the end", and the last line of the song is the child voice saying "the beginning". You're welcome

Nightwish - Romanticide (wacken), you'll love this

Now you have to react to The Greatest Show on Earth and Romanticide, both live. And absolutely you have to react to Epica.

I meet them before a concert and they were the nicest people I've ever met. My first tattoo is a tribute to them and I can't thank this band enough for saving me.

her voice. yes, intense and powerful. she can pin you to the wall and not break a sweat. or she can bring you to the edge of tears. A true force of song.

Epica " Sancta Terra " featuring Floor is a must

Hey Alex, as you like Nightwish after Ghost Love Score, opera and now the Poet, please react to either Romanticide, or the absolute best song from them: "The greatest show on Earth" (live). This last one is the most perfect song you can ever listen to :)

Tuomos is THE grand maestro

Floor ... The Dutch Amazon who knock a building down with her voice! 🇳🇱❤🤟🏻

I was at their show in Helsinki two days ago. This band is the only one who can summon so many different emotions out of me. Have seen them a few dozen times through the years and they are epic. EPIC.

Nightwish the greatest show on earth live at Tampere, THE BEST!

every song by Nightwish is an epic opus of pure majesty

To me Nightwish is the best metal band of my time. They have one the greatest composer of our time, now the greatest metal singer and every member of the band is absolute world class at what they do. And I have been in the game since the 80's so yes, I think they are far better than Metallica... or Iron Maiden.. or Black Sabbath... or...

To Hell and Back or Carolus Rex by Sabaton. All of Sabaton’s songs are about historical war info, whether it be the people or battles, To Hell and Back being about the most decorated soldier in ww2 suffering from ptsd upon returning home, and Carolus Rex is about the crowning of King Charles XII of Sweden (very epic)

NIGHTWISH - THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH(live) AND IM DONE!!!!!!

Vocals like 5:55 are why symphonic metal groups usually employ a classically trained vocalist, not just someone who can hold a tune.

Floor our Dutch pride!

Just saw them again on their UK tour Nightwish = life ❤️

I know it's been suggested several times by other people, but if you are enjoying symphonic metal, you really need to react to Epica - "Consign To Oblivion (Live at Zenith)". They have some similarities to Nightwish, in that they are the same genre and have a wonderful soprano lead vocalist, but they are a bit heavier, mixing in some harsh growling male vocals (as opposed to Nightwish's clean male vocals (which are also great - not knocking NW in any way, I love them)) and heavier music in general.

Talking over Floor Jansen's vocals is like talking over David Gilmour's guitar solo... Punishable by DEATH! :D

Nightwish is the ONLY band that evokes physical manifestation in the form of chills, goosebumps and tears- consistently.... There are so many more that you have not seen... Song of Myself and Storytime are very awesome...

I've always (well, since 2004 when I became a fan) found Nightwish's best songs to be the ones that don't follow the typical song pattern or song length. Not to belittle anything else this band does wonderfully, but their song structures are so amazing and unique and that just blows my mind. I'm glad Nightwish is still around stronger than ever. And I'm happy to say that like many others, I'm completely Floored.

Nightwish - Greatest Show on Earth (live in Tampere) pls :)

Absolutely the BEST reaction I have ever watched!! You, young man, epitomise what I was envisioning a "reaction" to mean! Kudos to you!

I just discovered Nightwish a few days ago. I know I know. Where have I been, right? I then went and searched more on them. I have listened to all three lead singers. They are all great in their own way. Floor though, she can do it all. As a singer, she may just be my new idol. ;)

Blind Guardian - Time stands still (at the iron hill) Most badass metal song with the most badass lyrics about the most badass character in fantasy literature. R.I.P Fingolfin, lord of all noldor

One of the few bands that do live shows right.

By far one of the most under rated bands of all time (in the US, cause they sure pack houses everywhere else lol). I started as a die hard fan and once Tarja left i kind of lost interest, but Floor has definitely put them back on the map for me.

I love love love this song! It is so beautiful. I have experienced them in Zurich this year.

I couldn't click this fast enough! I love watching your reactions to Nightwish!

Please react to Nightwish's Song Of Myself at Wacken 2013 and please do the Greatest Show On Earth, that'll blow you away^^

Alex, because of you, I now know who Nightwish is, and am now obsessed with them. For this, I thank you.

Thank you so much for another NIGHTWISH video , its still surprises me after 20 years of their truly masterful Music and live shows many still have never heard of them, so many have no idea what they have been missing.

I love watching your Nightwish reactions! :D

Please react to Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth (live in Tampere) it's absolutely mind-blowing, Alex!

Interesting you should equate their music to a soundtrack. Tuomas Halopainen (who does the composition and writing as well) studied heavily in that venue, and a lot of his inspiration comes from that study. He also did the score for a Finnish movie "The Matriarch. (2008)," which, if memory serves me correctly, is when he wrote "While Your Lips Are Still Red." You are absolutely correct about this band. They are definitely all at the top of the Pareto curve when it comes to musical skill and talent. By the way, Splitting up songs into different parts (movements), has been around for centuries, and is a structure used by many great composers like Beethoven, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky. I believe that Halopainen has definitely achieved a similar level of mastery. This song is definitely a future classic for the coming centuries.

Just found out about Nightwish a couple of weeks ago, I have spent most of my spare time lately listening to and watching their videos, cant wait to have the chance to see them live, Floor is outstanding

Revisiting Nightwish after a 10 year separation that followed a 4 year sabatical (I found the loss of Tarja disappointing). I did it by going to see them in Wembley recently because of your GLS review. Oh. My. Days. Thank you! I am so very pleased to see how far they have come since I first saw them in a crummy little venue in England in 2003. Floor is an amazing frontwoman and the world is a better place for having Nightwish in it!

Do Song of myself next, you are going to love it, one of my personal favourites

Thank you so much Alex! It is the most incredible and fantastic thing I ever heard in the last 40 years!!!

Nightwish is definitely on top of the symphonic/opera/female fronted/whatever they wanna call it metal and by far! And cudos to you for I'm a huge fan of Nightwish, who loves watching people reacting to their music and being mindblowned, and your reactions are by far the most interesting, sincere, funny at times, not annoying and summing it up quite nicely ones!

Epica-Kingdom of heaven, if you like symphonic metal then you won't be dissapointed by this song

..YEEEESS!!!! Finally....THANK YOU Alex! Your the best ❤🤘💯

I love your excitement on these nightwish songs. Thanks for these reactions. Usually I eventually focus more on the songs but your expressions just crack me up. 😂 Keep em coming!

Nightwish won the jackpot with Floor. I love them so much! They are just an experience live.. So beautful! Please react to "The Greatest Show On Earth Live" it's amazing!

Yep, if that song wasn't epic, what is? I have heard this song like a thousand times and every time I try so hard to keep my eyes dry in the ending part, Mother & Father, and I never succeed. So beautiful...! These lyrics is pretty much what his mom and dad said comforting their son, Tuomas, when he got home from the tour totally heartbroken. _Be still my son, you're home - Oh, when did you become so cold? - The blade will keep on descending - All you need is to feel my love - Search for beauty, find your shore - Try to save them all, bleed no more - You have such oceans within - In the end I will always love you_ But still you haven't heard THE Nightwish song yet, aren't you? The Greatest Show On Earth (live at Tampere, Finland 2015). The best 21 musical minutes you'll ever get!

Nightwish hands down is one of the most skilled bands in any genre, not just metal. I keep watching and listening and finding stuff i missed before because of the different layers they got going on in their music. You really got to react to their song the greatest show on earth (live). You going to go 20 something minutes no fucking way but it is really worth it.

A suggestion: Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen-Nightwish)

Going to one of their shows a few weeks ago was a magical experience. Still cannot get their performance of The Greatest Show on Earth out of my head

I'm so glad you feel about Nightwish the same way that I do. Truly the best metal band I've ever listened to.

Toumas, the premiere composer of our day.

I had the privilege of playing in a band that opened for Nightwish in January 2013 in Auckland, New Zealand. It was an honor indeed. Nightwish are an amazing band, one that I love with all my heart.

REMEMBER!!!!! She is Dutch!!!! And we are proud of here!!!!

Pleeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!! Consign to Oblivion! ❤

Epica: consign to oblivion kingdom of heaven

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Tuomas Holopainen, it was by far an incredible moment, definitely was geeking out but I have a picture with him that I will forever cherish. Still can't believe I was blessed to see them live in concert twice. They r by far the greatest band on earth!!

Another great reaction, another Nightwish masterpiece !
