I thought for my next Nightwish reaction, I'd check out a performance with Tarja! This was a great choice for me, since I'm a fan of musicals and was interested in seeing how Phantom sounded - it seems incredibly appropriate for symphonic metal! Don't worry Floor fans - more with her coming soon as well!

You don't have to choose "which singer is better". I'm glad you're making your own way to discover Nightwish music. All the eras of the band had their highlights, and that adds to a unique overview. I look forward to your next reaction. I would like you not to take too much into account the pressure of the fans, and to do everything at your own pace. :)

@@angelbedolla347 Interestingly, Floor's vocal range is a bit wider than Tarja's (by approx 1/2 octave), but Tarja's voice remains powerfull throughout almost her entire range, whereas with Floor it is more clear when she approaches the extremes of her range. I think Tarja is technically the better singer, but their voices are also very different. A song like this can use all the technique and drama Tarja can bring, and that applies to a lot more of their early work, which was clearly also arranged with Tarja's voice and capabilities in mind. The same thing happened with Anette and Floor, songs from their era with Nightwish are chosen/written and arranged to work well with their voice and capabilities. That makes Nightwish such a great band, and such a joy to experience live, regardless of which lineup you look at. I saw them perform live with this lineup not that long before this concert (which is the last time Tarja performs with the band, something all the members except Tarja know while performing). This recording is good, but not as good as can be. Tarja was actually fighting a fever, and her voice was not in top condition here (amazing as that might sound, there are a few telltale signs of it, like her being off by 1/4 note at some point during the intro). The drummer was suffering from a migraine, which you can tell when looking at how he behaves... but they had to do this concert, first because of the recording, and second, because it would be their last concert ever with Tarja, at the end of this concert she is given a letter by the other members of the band telling her she is no longer part of Nightwish. Makes this both impressive, and a bit sad.

All Nightwish singers are very good their own way. They have very different styles. Tuomas(Keyboard player) is able write songs different vocals. Because you like movies etc.. I little tell about him: He is huge film music fan(Hans Zimmer),One his favorite films is The Village and favorite tv-serie is Little House on the Prairie. He is huge Disney fan and he had made solo album about Scrooge Mcduck "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" and from that album is great song and music video A lifetime Adventure. Waiting for your next Nightwish reaction!

One thing that gets overlooked. Back then there wasn't really music like this. Nightwish dropped like an atom bomb. Look at the silly Over The Hills vid. It was a brainstorm for many people, all the Epicas to come. Tarja deserves some credit for blazing the trail, but they all do. I can just imagine them planning this back then at the music class. I love this band so much, Tarja, Anette, Floor and all.

Best singer in Nightwish? Marko, of course 🤩 I have been a NW fan since begining (almost anyway). I prefer Floor. Mostly because she is current singer and most versatile of these 3 singers. It doesn't take anything away from me enjoying Tarja and Anette performances as much as Floors. For me there is specific songs for each one of singers which are totally theirs. For Tarja it's defenitely "Wishmaster" (live, "End of an era" concert, Helsinki 2005) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJ1-a7CW0MusYmQ.html One of my all time favorite songs 😁 Anette is best in studio, but one live performance from her is gold: Scaretale. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6udo7Zpqp3IY2Q.html Then Floor: Ghost Love Score, Poet and the pendulum, Greatest Show on Earth.... Just name it. And Marko ♥️ High Hopes, tribute to Pink Floyd Master Passion Greed Those with Nightwish. From his solo project: The voice of my father kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mt2mpNODt6molHk.html I cry every time...I become totally mess. There is so many songs to choose between with all of these singers that it's almost impossible to pick just one or two. But I did a honest try 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hope you continue with NW and look at every "era" with Tarja, Anette and Floor. Do not forget Marko tho ♥️

Other Tarja songs that just aren't the same with others (to me, at least): "Gethsemanie"; "Sacrament of Wilderness"; "Beauty OF the Beast"; "The Siren" (Floor's version sounds pretty good...until you compare them and then it sounds a little flat, and completely lacking the Arabian vibe that Tarja projected into the song); "She is My Sin" (completely personal preference here - Floor had a great version at Wacken 2013, but I personally prefer the operatic sound that Tarja injected even better). Annette: "Slow Love Slow" (another case where Floor's versatility can't quite match the sound of a specialist, in this case tha jazz sound that Annette already had a lot of experience with, at least in my opinion). I would also say that the studio version of "Song of Myself" is just as good as the Wacken version (Annette totally killed this version...her excellent deep vocal sounds are too perfect in this song). I was actually surprised by this, as although the studio versions of most of her songs are really good, I usually prefer Floor's versions just a little bit more (as her added touches usually bring a song to another level than it originally was, but there wasnt too much of that in "Song of Myself"...except for the last sung line).

I think the thing that helped me on this is I came to this performance not knowing the band's history. I was stunned to find out later that Tarja had been shown the door, and not long after I see it announced that Marco left the band. Just found them and the two bright spots right off the bat are gone. Bizarre a bit; but, that aside.. I didn't have to compare this to another band lead. My thought was to every other performance of this I'd ever heard.. much larger universe. And this, is my favorite and the best performance of Phantom I've ever seen. The new lead singer is the new lead singer.. I like her too. But this is still the best version of this song I've ever seen. I'm 54. And I feel pretty safe in saying someone might be able to replicate this. I don't think there is any beating it.

Welcome to the first era of Nightwish! 😁 Tarja, the woman you just heard, is the first vocalist and one of the founding members of the group, who was born in 1996. Of the band's 9 studio albums, 5 were recorded with her, 2 with Anette and 2 with Floor, the current singer. Most of the songs people suggest in Floor's voice were not originally recorded by her, so it would be nice if in addition to the newer versions you also heard the originals. Each song sounds completely different depending on who is singing. The band also went through other member changes. Drummer Jukka was replaced by Kai and bassist Sami was replaced by Marko, the man singing in this video. In turn, Marko recently announced his departure and, so far, Nightwish has a temporary bass player.Tarja left the band in 2005, before KZfaq existed. Most of the live performances from her time were posted by fans. This video you just watched is from the DVD "End of an era". This entire DVD is incredible. A curiosity about this show is that Tarja hardly did it. She was sick that day and recorded this show on medication. You can usually find good videos with Tarja on the "Nightwish Arena" channel. As for Anette, I advise you to always listen to the studio versions of her. Live videos are not usually very good with Anette, but she has a beautiful voice. Floor joined Nightwish in 2012 as a temporary member and became permanent in 2013. It is easy to find good live performances with her. Many of these videos were posted by the band itself. In general the Nightwish live performances are magical, but the studio versions are also excellent. In addition, there are some iconic songs that you will not find live version or, when you do, the quality of the recording is terrible. An example of this is "Beauty of the beast". This is a song from Nightwish's fourth album, "Century Child". So far only Tarja has sung it. There is a live version, but the quality of the existing videos is very bad, even in the remastered ones. This can ruin your experience. Because of that, I strongly suggest the studio version. If you like to enjoy the lyrics of the songs, "Beauty of the beast" has a romantic gothic style. Nightwish had a different style in Tarja's time. Originally the band was a mix of Gothic metal, power metal, symphonic music and folk music. From Anette on, the influences of power metal and gothic metal are almost nonexistent. It is important not to confuse "Beauty OF the beast" with "Beauty AND the beast". Nightwish has these two songs. In case you want to know, there is a good live version of "Beauty AND the beast" recorded on the dvd "From wishes to eternity". This is the band's first DVD. It was recorded in 2000 and released in 2001, before Marko joined the group. It is a much simpler DVD than the ones Nightwish makes today, but it is excellent. At the beginning of their career the band did not have many financial or technical resources. This is a 20-year-old recording. At the time the group was on their third album, "Wishmaster", and they had done their first world tour. Tarja has a solo career with many iconic performances and partnerships. I would like to suggest "Victim of ritual", a live performance recorded at Woodstock in 2016. If you prefer something quieter, I suggest the song "The Living End", a live performance recorded in a church in Wacken. In this performance, Tarja is accompanied only by a piano, a violin and a cello. It's beautiful. There is a video of this performance on Wacken TV channel. It's a video with 6 songs, but in the description there is their name for you to click and be taken to the one you want. Thank you!

One thing I will add about "Beauty OF the Beast": the Amsterdam 2002 concert is decent; video quality isn't the best, but unless you get a really bad copy the audio isn't bad. One thing I would highly recommend about watching this live version, is that the vocals are more piercing (in a good way), particularly Marko's portions (especially on the chorus during tbe first part), along with being more crisp, clear, and distinct for his parts (morso than in the studio version, where it's hard to differentiate his voice from the backing chorus). The harmonies between Tarja and Marko seem more powerful to me than on the studio version. It's also worth watching how engaging Tarja is (and fun to watch her "air guitar" at times during the song!) Another fairly good clip is Germany 2003 (both this and Amsterdam 2002 are obviously from fixed cameras, and not just fans personal cameras), but I personally would stay away from this one; although the overall quality is a little better than Amsterdam 2002, in the middle the camera does a weird rapid zooming in and out that's quite disturbing.

You don't have to choose which one is better, the 3 vocalists that the band had sing very well, each one is different in style from the other, it's a matter of taste! Personally, of the 3 I like "Floor" the most, but There are songs that I like more as "tarja" sings it, this is one of them, the people who compare them to see who is better than who, it is a great nonsense, everything is a matter of the spectator's tastes because all 3 are wonderful with their styles! Obviously you have to have a lot of admiration and respect for the PIONEER who is "tarja", her voice inspired and opened many paths! Tarja respect and admiration!

Floor has not performed Phantom with Nightwish as of yet, but she did a stellar, highly acclaimed performance of it with Henk Poort, the original Phantom actor from the Dutch version of the musical. Henk was her childhood celebrity idol as a kid, so she was elated to have the opportunity to do that song with him. It was in 2019 on the Dutch TV show "Beste Zangers" (Best Singers, obviously), a show where seven of the best artists in the Netherlands get together in an intimate setting. Each week one of the artists is the center of focus who remains "on the couch" with the show host while the six others perform a cover of one of the focus-artist's own songs or one that they selected. Generally the artists are picked each from a different genre. The last episode of the season is one of duets where they choose who they want to sing with. It was here that Floor picked Henk as her partner for Phantom: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptJzhsab26qzeoE.html

Floor & Henk Poort is what you are looking for. No need to compare the singers in Nightwish. Tarja is elegant, operatic, majestic - Anette style is more poppy - Floor is the most versatile singer you'll find and she is a storyteller - an empath who needs to feel the song and then makes it come to life.

Floor performed the Phantom at a dutch TV Show called Beste Zangers which is NOT a competition. A TV station invites 7 singers from different genres to a resort on the Spanish island of Ibiza and over a couple of weeks the singers get interviewed by the host and perform songs to each other. Every singer creates a list of songs that have some special meaning to her/him and the other six pick a song from that list that they want to perform for this person. The show is split into 8 episodes where every episode is dedicated to one of the participants. Episode 8 is the duett episode where they pick a partner they would like to perform with. Floor picked her idol Henk Poort, whom she adored since she heard him as the phantom in her teens (it was a joy to watch her fangirling on Henk throughout the whole season). Henk is a famous dutch bariton who performed many operas and musicals and was Andrew Llyoid Webbers favourite Phantom. She asked him if he would perform this song with her and he agreed under the condition that he can sing this with her and Nightwish when they play in the Netherlands. In the show the fantastic Marcel Fisser Band (these guys are really good, every song they played was great, no matter what genre) played the Nightwish arrangement. I think Nightwish never performed "Phantom of the Opera" after Tarja left, so this might be the last time they played it, because after this show Tuomas handed her the letter with the bands decision to part ways with her. Many blamed Tuomas for "firing" Tarja although it was a decision of the whole band. The backlash from the fans drove him into a deep depression and suizidal thougths. Luckily he could express his dark thoughts by writing a song about it instead of killing himself. But I would recommend to wait listening to "The Poet and the Pendulum" until you have heard a couple more songs from Nightwish.

I do like Floor's voice, but I can't help but kinda cringe anytime she does an old Nightwish song. I know her version of 'Ghost Love Score' is very popular now, even though I can say it is good, it's just not the same anymore to me. Not hating, just my feeling :-)

I’m a huge Nightwish fan. However, everything I could comment on this video regarding Nightwish has already been written 100 times. Therefore, excuse me to take advantage of this video to seed another idea. If you like this style of music (Symphonic Metal with operatic style female lead singer), I suggest you might also take a look at the band Epica. More specifically, as you come from Nightwish here, I suggest you take a look at “Sancta Terra” from the Retrospect live concert. This performance features Floor Jansen as a guest singer beside Epica’s own Simone Simons. While this is maybe not the most typical Epica song, it is kind of the most popular song to get into Epica (just like “Ghost Lovel Score” is the typical entry ticket for Nightwish).

Nightwish's 3 singers: 1. Tarja (original singer): 1995 to 2005 2. Annette: 2006 to 2012 3. Floor (current singer): 2013 to 2020+ everyone knows Floor, she's super popular with everyone, especially right now, and is a really good singer, having a huge variety of singing capability (pop, classical/opera, belting, growling/raspy), able to sing nightwish's old songs that were for Tarja's classical/opera singing, as well as new songs for her own variety/range of singing abilities Unfortunately for Annette, she's a pop/rock singer, and a very good singer too, but her pop/rock singing just didn't go that well with nightwish's music, which was made for Tarja's dark classical/opera singing. So, usually, she gets left out. so, it comes down to "Targasm” (Tarja) vs “Floorgasm” (Floor) in terms of the Nightwish singers in who you like most, if you like classical/opera singing better, Tarja is better at it, but that's all she does while with nightwish, as nightwish was created for tarja's unique dark operatic singing/voice, (now with her own band, or solo, she does a greater range of singing), but she does it really well, she's really got a beautiful voice, if you like more pop singing, belting and growling/raspy, with or without classical/opera singing, than you like Floor better I knew nightwish from the early 2000s, so Nightwish will always be with Tarja, but Nightwish with Floor is really good too, but it's Tarja, who's my favorite singer with nightwish (many others will help you out with Floor's songs, so I'll just stick to Tarja's songs here) ---------- if you do like Tarja with nightwish, here's some good ones: (NOT ranked, just listed) 1. End of an Era (her last concert with nightwish, hard to find good quality and the entire concert, as it gets taken down) 2. Phantom of the Opera (her duet with Marco, really good, both of them together, this song was actually used in the Phantom of the Opera remake movie in 2004) 3. Wishmaster 4. Planet Hell (marco sings in this song as well) 5. End of All Hope 6. Dead Boy's Poem 7. Nemo (watch the official music video and also her live performance of it) 8. Kinslayer 9. she is my sin 10. wish I had an angel 11. slaying the dreamer 12. the siren 13. dead to the world 14. 10th man down 15. walking in the air and many more too

>but that's all she does while with nightwish, as nightwish was created for tarja's unique dark operatic singing/voice It's very much true. While Tarja became more versatile over time, it was easier for Floor coming in to not fall into a rut and to be adventurous in Nightwish (especially after Anette already having brought change), than for Tarja to get out of it while inside. I also think one aspect gets often omitted when discussing Tarja in Nightwish is her age - they started when she was, what, twenty? She interrupted her musical studies over the commitment necessary for the band. Nightwish is basically Tarja's early career, and when she left it she was still younger than Floor when she joined. My point is, what we see in Nightwish are fairly early stage's of Tarja's development as a singer, with so much more to come. Floor, on the other hand, came in at a more mature point in her career (and a more mature point for the band), after years of musical studies and various singing projects. I think the vocalists changing, was a breath of fresh air both for Nightwish and for Tarja (and I enjoy Tarja's voice at all those stages :).

No reason to pick which is better, they are just both fantastic. Annette the middle singer might not have been able to get to their level live, but studio has some of the best nightwish songs. 2 songs in, you still havent even scratched the surface of what this band can do. Thrash metal to musical theatre to celtic rock, its easier to pick a genre they havent just knocked out of the park. And thats just because they havent got around to it yet!

Just so you know, this wasn't just a one time thing where they just threw this out together, live. Nightwish actually covered this for their their 2003 album "Century Child". This is important, because it is the album arrangement of the song that is used when Floor sings a duet with this on the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers with her idol, Henk Poort, who played the Phantom in the Dutch production of the musical. That you will definitely also want to see. There was a slight hint of BDSM throughout the album, and when you think about it, Phantom of the Opera also has those undertones. Eric keeps commanding Christine to sing and sing, and she does. Also with this, especially in relation to the musical, everyone forgets that Eric (the Phantom) is responsible for killing someone in the musical, but is portrayed as a troubled soul. Marco, in this case, plays up the bad guy role in this, and makes him sound more sinister, which was never done before in the musical. Andrew Lloyd Webber has stated many times that this is the best arrangement of Phantom of the Opera that he has ever heard.

Who is a better singer? The solution is simple. Tuomas created the music and Tarja sang. Without this pair, no one would have known Nightwish. Every other singer has already joined a group that was already known. The most famous songs are those from the times of Tarja. From a later period, I only like songs that Marco sings.

Floor is my favorite but I am a fan of all 3 singers. Just know that most all of thecsongs you will see Floor sing were written for and originally performed by Tarja and Annette. Floor is so amazing that she can sing them like they belong to her even though they were written for 2 completely different types of vocalists....BTW...you discovered earlier than most about how they have always had 2 amazing vocalists with Marko in the group too. I'm so sad he left. I'm seeing them in concert for the first time in October. I'm a bit upset I won't get to see him preform live with the rest of the band.

The split came because Tarja was too 'high maintenance', so to speak.. If you noticed it, she has a yellow jacket on in this video and a yellow mic.. She always wanted her mic to be the same color as her outfit at that moment in the concert. The band ended up not appreciating this behaviour and ended her contract with them, even though, as you saw, the chemistry was great. Especially between her and Marco. I've seen many reactions posting she did not now this would be her last tour (which ended in Helsinki, Finland, where the video was shot) and that she was fired immediately afterward. Though I remember trying desperately to get tickets to one of their shows (for me it was either Germany or Helsinki, being from Belgium) because I knew they were splitting up and I really wanted to see them all live before that happened. Sadly, I never got tickets, they were sold out so quickly it was insane! So I went out and bought the cd and dvd as soon as it came out

They had an argument earlier and Tarja said she wanted to leave. Somehow that got into the press (I think Marco let it slip out somewhen) But they managed to get together again and continue and all of them agreed upon her staying for another album and tour after Once. Then the band changed their mind and agreed on firing her directly after the End of an Era concert weeks before that took place. They didn't tell her because they wanted to make the DVD of that concert and feared she wouldn't do it or wouldn't put 100% in it. And then they decided to hand her that unfaithful letter right after the show instead of talking to her about it. You can read all about it in the Once upon a Nightwish book. It's an informative book but you can tell that they did their best to cast a bad light on Tarja with it.

Please don't compare the vocalists, it kicks up a lot of nasty back and forth. All three are very good singers. In MY opinion....Tarfa more operatic, Anette more pop and Floor is in between while adding more rock, it'sll Good ! Looking forward to your next reaction. Be well.

It is good to hear all 3 of Nightwish's lead vocalists sing because all 3 of them are very talented and contributed to the band's success. Tarja (pronounced TAR- YA) performs the song Nemo the best in my opinion, Anette was better in the studio versions rather than live but her rendition of 7 Days to the Wolves, and Meadows of Heaven are amazing, and Floor took the song Ghost Love Score and not only made it her own but in my opinion just sings it better, also her singing The Poet and the Pendulum brings a LOT of feels to a song that already had plenty.

Molly Bee, I think you should react to Amorphis "The Bee" Official Lyric Video at some point. No hurry, I can wait a few months. Floor performed The Phantom with Henk Poort. Matter of taste but I prefer the Nightwish version. Tarja's operatic style vocals fit the song and Marko is excellent as the Phantom. Floor is a better performer and more versatile as a vocalist and can do operatic vocals too - with less vibrato than Tarja who's vibrato many times is a bit too much for MY taste. Nightwish "7 Days to the Wolves" Wembley Arena 2015 would be great for your next Nightwish reaction. One of my definite Nightwish favorites.
