Nightwish with current lead vocalist Floor Jansen, she is superb, absolutely amazing singer. In this song she uses her voice in many different ways.

Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth This is one true Masterpiece by Tuomas Holopainen, he is the one composing and writing lyrics and the one who plans these magnificent live performances. The whole band is superb, but while lead vocalists often are the ones, who people listen and watch the most, I wanted to point out, who is that key element and whose vision you can see and hear, when this band is performing. Holopainen is perfectionist and it can be seen. Name of this song is about creation (That voice talking in different parts is Richard Dawkins. And yes, that Richard Dawkins, almost legendary evolutionary biologist who can be seen in person in live version from Wembley). This video has lyrics too, so that when listening, you can get the story too. Notice how long video is and there is still something, when the end texts are rolling, so if wanting to have full experience, don´t stop the video until it ends. This isn´t just some normal song, this is more, a performance in every way. So if you watch and listen this, take your time and good headphones. Singer Floor Jansen is called by many as "Valkyrie"... that her voice has been forged in Valhalla etc... a Goddess of Metal and so on. Reason is, that she can´t sing perfectly just one thing, she can use her voice in astonishing ways and make it look so easy all the time. Notice that when she sings here, gig has been already going on almost 2 hours or something like that. All pro voice coaches who have been watching her performances praise her as amazing singer. Marco Hietala then again is also amazing male singer and basist, often he is forgotten when Floor takes attention, but when Marco sings solos or leads in some songs, suddenly people are waking up and noticing, that Floor isn´t only superb singer in this band. But here, take your time if you start to listen, this song demans respect from listener. Don´t start to listen this in hurry, this show is an experience like watching a good movie or great theater performance. brobear and tom you guys HAVE to (sorry for capital letters) watch this. And as I wrote, take a moment, when you have time, then watch and listen in peace. This can start in a bit slow way for some and first sound like opera a bit, but when it starts to roll, this takes you to different places in breathtaking way. This is a show, which is best when live, but with good headphones or loudspeakers is still great. If someone has seen official version from Wembley, I dare to say, that this from Tampere offers even greater show. Only relevant thing what Wembley had was Dawkins himself in person. But as performance this from Tampere is the one. Edit and add: OldGreenGrolar you too. You like fantasy too, listen this song with time and watch the performance. Even though you like maybe "lighter" music, this performance might blow your mind, Holopainen is in my mind and by many others too a pure genius of music. Many call him as Mozart of metal. Dawkins is there last time starting at 20:24 ending the show.

Not normally my type of music, but I listened all the way through and enjoyed this. Mostly because I like the theme. The beginning was very much like old Irish music. Extreme talent.

Yeah, we all have different tastes. I´ve seen Nightwish live only once (shame on me) but it was quite something. I hope to be there some time in the future again, when they go to the tour. This might be to your taste, a song with Marco Hietala as leading vocalist. Very different kind of Nightwish here. Also live from Tampere from same concert as earlier one. Listen some time if you have time and interest. And if you do, notice that talent what Hietala have too as a singer. He has also a voice and he can even play with it, he is that good. The Islander takes you to the seashore with old lighthouse keeper.

brobearIn that hunting scene in The Greatest Show On Earth, when grunting starts, even though Marco starts it, also Floor is doing it there. You should hear her growl She does it too in one song, contrast to her soprano voice is quite something when she does it.

Very nice; I have posted both on my Facebook page ~ Very nice that you liked. Some Nightwish songs are pretty deep and listening for instance The Poet And The Pendulum (another long one) without knowing backstory and how it was born doesn´t give same experience as understanding in what kind of mood Holopainen was while creating it. It should, in my opinion, also be listened and watched in peace and as recorded live, because it gives most, when also whole performance can be seen. And also lyrics to follow. I wouldn´t recommend it as the first song to listen from Nightwish if interested to listen more. They have shorter ones, like Amaranth which is "easy" to listen and entertaining just like that, but some epic songs are something, what should be only listened when time to focus and experience.
