Fantastic!! I came for the FLOORgasm!!! 🤘❤️🤘

I would think they are more likely to have one since their ears are deeply trained, and since that A flat is like honey poured over a thunder, the extasi hits hard 🤘🏻

And neither you, or they, are wrong.

No fue por la vocalista anterior(Anette), fue por Tarja, la primer vocalista.

Everything you said is true. I would just clarify that the pain he wrote about was for the first singer, Tarja, not for the last singer in the bad, Anette. I'm sure you meant exactly that, but people who are not familliar with the band might interpret it as being about Anette.

Indeed it was about Tarja, not Anette. It's important to keep it clear that Anette became ill and left on good terms with the band, whereas Tarja was fired, quite reluctantly. It was particularly painful for Tuomas because Tarja was a founding member and they were close for years, but she drifted apart from the band and began to act cold toward them. She was fired immediately after "End Of An Era" was filmed, and the band had to take a hiatus for a couple years to collect themselves in order to move forward. All things considered, Anette was a great singer, but she was a transitional piece, whereas Floor brings new life to the band (as you can see in this video). They returned to Wacken again in 2018 and also put on a very good performance, though I watched the DVD and wanted to slap the mixing engineer during the first couple songs. Anyway... more Nightwish reaction videos would be stellar, I agree. Floor is top notch.

@@ChrisPhoenixMusic Well Tarja said in an interview for a magazine (I read the interview, it was worldwide, can't remember the name of the magazine now) that she preferred to listen to Whitney Houston over Nightwish, and this was before she was fired, so no wonder. It's one thing to say that to a friend or whatever but not so good in a magazine article about the band that you are in.

It's not surprising that she prefers listening to a singer that's not her. If you ask actors whether they watch their own movies, most of them cringe. I'd think it more vanity if she was her favourite singer to listen to.

b0sanac the fist nightwish singer was Tarja Turunen!

Yes, before she joined Nightwish she was doing online vocal lessons. Now she's in a Wembley Arena-level band she probably dfoesn;t need to do that anymore. But as a result she has an incredible amount of training, discipline and touring experience. So she is note-perfect every show, which is what a band like Nightwish needs..

@@RolandDeschain1 She probably doesn't need to do that anymore, but... she is still teaching, next to her guest appearances in different side-projects.

@@NTK953 second was anette i think?

@@RolandDeschain1 She went to the Rock Academy in Tilburg. That helped her with the classic techniques

Any news about Ann's condition?

@@bramilan Ann is home, resting and recovering from a fall at the hospital that had some injures on her back. She needs rest, hopefully she will be here soon again.

Only Tarja's 3 first almums were operatic fashion, her 2 last albums were contemporary style (same styles as Anette's and Floor's). Anette's voice is bright, but since she has always sung in rock and metal bands and albums, it's really stupid to call her poppy. Bright voice doesn't mean pop.

Me too!!!

There are videos of it with the lyrics included. The music is haunting on it's own, but knowing the words really makes an impression.

Please!!!

I cry every time I watch that performance, without fail. When she gets to "Tuck me in beneath the blue" usually. Her tone is so sweet in that part If it doesn't get me then it gets me at Mother And Father

There is no studio version of floor version of ghost love score afaik.

@@RizkhyDestatama he meant Tarja's studio version I think

@@hyroproto4364 ....which lacks every trace of emotion and expression and variation of sound. Floor shows how to do a proper interpretation. When tarja sang it, she just left the stage, where floor created an overwhelming climax.

@@schneevongestern9898 yeah, I'd agree that Floor made this song her own even if originally written for Tarja's vocals. With that said, there are songs that I think Tarja sings better live and videos where she has great crowd interaction (if you're referring to the "end of an Era" concert, it's well known Tarja had a flu that night)

@@blindguardian1979 tarjas singing with nightwish was magical. Especially with oceanborn. Until wishmaster. After that album her voice changed severely. What until then was a naturally flowing, lyrical and fantastic singing voice turned into something else. The vibrato became super slow and artificial, almost a wobble. the placement in the operatic range became big and dramatic and to my taste unpleasant. I do like her and many of the songs she sung with nightwish and solo. She has some glorious vocal moments and great solo music. But it's an obvious fact that floors range of tone and expression obliterates tarjas. Tarjas tone and expression are rather limited. And by no means she is a fully formed classical singer. she sings in that classical placement a lot and she's good at it but that's all. And with this song here, tarja fades to grey compared to how floor delivers it. The studio version of ghost love score is plain boring. The vocals are the least important ingredient. The main feels and the orchestra and overall sound are dominant.With floor, they become the main ingredient. Next to the drums. Floors vocals are supreme in any aspect. Phonation, resonance, placement, diction, projection, expression, variety, resilience, dynamics, breath support. She's a master and highly proficient in any of these aspects. You can give her almost anything and she will sing it perfectly. From almost death metal to pop to classical and a thousand nuances in between. Plus, floors stage presence is cinematic and a league of its own. Like I said. I love and enjoy and respect tarja. But floor is the far greater singer. One can still dislike her simply because one simply dislikes the sound of her voice. But apart from personal preference, she's outstanding. And I don't hype her as a person. I don't know her. maybe I'd hate her. But her singing skill is remarkable.

They are in the symphonic metal genre though. Their catalogue is very versatile indeed.

Can't forget to add the jazzy undertones of slow love. Well, it sounded jazzy to me at least. Lol

I dont know. For me cobra strikes isnt fast enough. Its more as quick as politicians changes their opinions/views after the election.

She isn't the most versatile. All the vocal coaches say Floor doesn't sing in quite classical voice. Honest Vocal Coach says it too: 02:55 "ALMOST a classical technique" and 08:65 "Ok, classical tone again, SLIGHTLY dropped larynx, making a BIT more of a 'oooh' sound." (Classical voice is with lowered larynx). Floor says herself that she doesn't have much classical education (she has only 1 year). Nightwish had a siger who does both classical and contemporary singing, though, and her name is Tarja. Should one have classical voice in Nightwish? There's 3 albums (Tarja's earliest albums) made for operatic style, but one CAN do new arrangements of songs, so you don't necessarily need to sing classical way, nor sing songs from the earliest albums. Tarja's two last albums were contemporary singing, (and this is from her last album).

@@Aurinkohirvi I don't think you understand the meaning of the word "versatile".

You should check more of Nightwish's videos. You won't be sorry. It''s really awesome stuff!

If you loved that one, you should try Nightwish - Greatest Show On Earth (live @ Tampere)

The standing joke is that they have a wizard on keyboards, a viking on bass, a pirate on drums, a druid on pipes, an elf on guitar, and Xena Warrior Princess singing for them, so it's basically everybody's fantasy band. Glad you liked it. ;-)

Those compulsory reactions of goosebumps, loss of breath, shivers and tears are known as a "Floorgasm". Witnessing it live as the audience has a full mix of reactions that includes people fainting or having to take a knee in a struggle to compose themselves, is something to truly behold.

Compare 1.15 to 12.22...You'll see what I mean...lol...peace!

no, it's because she is technicaly outstanding that she became a vocal coach :p

@Sam. Floor Jansen has studied opera only a year. She has studied musical theatre, as well. She never considered to become classical singer, as in opera.

Jari Seppälä Yes, but she is classically trained, maybe not to the in-depth extent of Tarja, but she still is.

I maintain that you people have no idea what a dramatic soprano actually sounds like. Give Monica Naranjo a spin in order to see how a REAL dramatic soprano sounds like.

joseph adel Eva, Sleeping Sun, Walking in the air(cover)..lots more than I can think of right now. :)

Ever Dream! IMO softer ballads are what NW do best. There are loads of heavy rock bands so when they do symph operatic metal they stand out as do Epica, WT, Delain (not so much opera) etc Best ballads are pre 2005 when Tarja was lead vocal. Anette wasn't much good at opera and Floor Jansen still isn't a match for Tarja at opera. If you want real opera though save up a TON of cash and go to the Royal Opera House Covent Garden.

Anette is my fav too! ✌️

So cool! I've rarely met someone that can appreciate Anette! I'm partial to Floor, but I always felt Anette got a bit of the short end of the stick, everyone seems to be comparing Floor and Tarja, like Anette was never even there :/ They all added to the life of this band.

Me too!

What? Floor has NOT classical training. She can't even sing a simple aria (there are videos of that). Tarja studied in a school of arts, singing chamber music . Floor didn't it, she took a few lessons of bel canto to improve her head voice.

I don't know about "a few lessons". Wikipedia says that she studied classical singing for about a year.

@@LaPumperDeLaCosta Tarja also didn't sing anything BUT classical. Floor has stylistic diversity on her side, even though it means she sacrifices a bit in absolute expertise

Nope, only one year classical training in Tilburg Conservatorium. Floor says herself she doesn't have "extensive" training into it (yeah really, tarja has 9 years of formal classical training and since that a private pupil of at least 2 classical sining professors, of which the other is Argentinian opera singer). Even in this video she says: 02:55 "ALMOST a classical technique" 08:56 "Ok, classical tone again, SLIGHTLY dropped larynx, making a BIT more of a 'oooh' sound." Notice the ALMOST, SLIGHTLY and BIT. Vocal coaches Beth Roars and Zach made the very same point Floor isn't good as a classical singer.

You forget, Sharon den Adel from Within Temptation.

Arie Pieters don’t forget sharon den adel

@@christianlangenberg6614 Totaly agreed. Just corrected my reaction ;-)

@@renskevanderhaagen5813 Yes, thanx for reminding! Reaction corrected.

And we should also mention Marcela Bovio (Ayreon, MaYaN, The Gentle Storm)

Wow love all your info!!!
