Floor Jansen = EPIC

[glacier_kitty]

Somehow I ended up watching Nightwish's performance at the Wacken festival on YouTube, and WOW, I was totally blown away!!

Watch on YouTube

Ghost River is one of my favorite Nightwish songs, and they owned it!! You can tell Floor is absolutely 100% enjoying herself and having so much fun, which rubbed off on the other band members too! (I also love Emppu's smile and shrug between 0:59 and 1:01 haha.) I must see Nightwish live again..I saw them in 2007 with Anette and I didn't enjoy it very much. I knew Floor was awesome already, but I'm still impressed lol :P

Watch on YouTube

WHOA, that super high note she hit at 4:43 is super impressive! She has an amazing voice..she can growl, sing in a "husky" voice, sing high notes..wow. She was definitely perfect for Nightwish

Watch on YouTube

Another favorite song. AWESOME. That concert looked like so much fun!

Abby is the best behaved cat at the vet ever (she got her shots updated). She walks around and doesn't cower and hide. When the vet assistant was writing something, Abby rubbed her head on her hand so she could pet Abby instead haha! She didn't react at all when she got her shot. She really is an amazing cat <3

Those songs really are fantastic!!

Here's a fun tidbit - it's not my kind of music at all, but I've been to Wacken once. Mainly because it was only a ten miles from where I lived at that time and a friend wouldn't stop pestering me. XD It was a very wet and muddy weekend.

Aw that's a great contrast photo! I love your creativity :)

That's so awesome that Abby is so well-behaved at the vet! I wish my cats were like that. Instead my cats flip out or cower haha.

Nightwish is definitely such an awesome band!

Floor is definitely fabulous! She's amazing live too. I have seen them with Floor three times now. Her energy is outstanding and she is always dancing and having a good time. She also seems very down to earth in her performances and the way she talks to the crowd. I love that her voice is so versatile, which I think is something that BOTH of their previous singers lacked. People always talked about how Anette couldn't sing the operatic notes, but imagine Tarja trying to sing the way Anette did in Scaretale. I think it would be a bit disastrous. Tarja could pretty much only sing ONE way. But Floor can sing basically anything. It's why I think she's a much better fit for them. Nightwish became much more metal when they got her in the band. Everyone always used to make the comparison "Tarja is opera and Anette is pop." Well, Floor is PURE METAL. \m/ I don't even like female singers much and I love her.
