I'm Julia, a Contemporary Singing Specialist (vocal coach, singing teacher, academic, performer) and today I am reacting to and breaking down NIGHTWISH performing The Greatest Show On Earth (TAMPERE, 2015). Floor Jansen continues to blow my mind, Tuomas's compositions and the bands stage dynamics, consistency, level of skill are truly superb. I hope you enjoy my react!

Can we just appreciate the Mad Genius that is Tuomas Holopainen? Talents like him are said to be born once a century. In ancient times, he may have become a songwriter, componist or musician we remember fondly even today. Let us make sure that happens.

Floor: "WILL YOU SING WITH US?" [belts in G5] 20,000 Finns the next morning: "Why can't I talk?"

Nightwish... the only band that makes a 21 minute song that leaves you wanting more at the end
-
"How does one even emotionally recover from a Nightwish concert?" ......... You can't. I was privileged enough to play the drums for a band that opened for them in Auckland, New Zealand in 2013. To this day the experience is as fresh as it was back then. I was able to recommend a few local brews to Emppu and Marco after their soundcheck and my wife had the task of guarding the toilet door for Floor as the lock was broken (Floor was eternally grateful for that). The thing made me laugh was with in about two minutes of them finishing their set Floor had traded her knee high boots for jandles. It was a hot night after all. We watched the set the played from dam as near side of stage. It was amazing. I hope to see them again back here in New Zealand.

Floor: "Will you sing with us?" Also floor: Good luck with that lol

well guys... I did it! I completed the Trinity :) yayyy! the more I thought about this piece post edit the more things I wanted to comment on so I'll add a couple more things below. the lyrical content for this song was incredible but simultaneously educational as heck.... I found myself googling some of the phenomena/things they mentioned because not only did the song make me curious/interested it also made me care about how lucky we are to exist and be here as we are. the music itself really captured that as incredible as evolution is it's has been all about survival and sometimes survival, growth or extreme change isn't beautiful OR comfortable. let me know your thoughts on the vocal breakdown. a comment was left recently that made me consider the accessibility of the terminology I use so let me know if you'd like a break down minus any of the technical jargon. overall... wow... holy heck .... yes. incredible. hope you liked it!

Floor: Enter Luca Marco: Enter Iona Empuu: Enter Sandman!

On a serious point, can we give Kai Hahto a lot of respect? The underlying drums made this entire song, and bearing in mind he only came in very recently (relative to this), replacing a man that was in this band for 20-odd years, Kai played an absolute stormer.

Julia: 19:42 "Excuse me!!!??? Where is that???" Me: Best indignation + fangirling moment ever! <3
-
👏👏👏 Very nice work Julia. Keep 'em coming.
-
Floors parents being at this show….How proud they must be to see the positive and joyous effect their daughter and this incredible band has on thousands of people must be almost overwhelming for them. Sensory overload… Nightwish style. The band that can call it “The Greatest Show on Earth” and deliver on all points…just and incredible adventure in songwriting and performance🤘🤘

"how does one even emotionally recover from a Nightwish concert?" one doesn't, I was there and now 5 years later I'm still crying when watching this, and it's all very much worth it and more
-
Floor's parents were present during this concert. At the end she gets emotional. 💕
-
This whole reaction itself is like a journey. It didn't feel like 39,5 minutes at all. Awesome reaction. You are awesome Julia.
-
“ how does one emotionally recover from a Nightwish concert?” You don’t. You don’t even try. You count yourself blessed to have seen them (twice for me so far) and you wait for the chance to do it again!
-
Drinking game! -Julia gets flustered at how easy Floor makes something sound -Julia gets chills/shivers -Julia uses her keyboard to further frustrate herself at Floor's ability. EDIT: Made it to the end!

This is what Gandalf would listen to before he went to face Balrog at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. Thank you for your insightful analysis, Julia. I had fun watching your commentary and participating in the live chat 🙋

Theres vocalists singers then theres FLOOR this woman is in a league of her own!!
-
i use to live about 300 meters away in front of that stage and just open my window and hear many great gigs in that stadium, including this one
-
Julia: Excuse me? Where is that? Floor: It's a simple G5 made in the final act of a 21 minute song, at the end of the show.
