  • Realmente Apollo a las 2 Tanto a Tarja Turunen como a Floor Jansen pero como muchos dicen simplemente Floor en esta versijn intento hacer algo diferente pero el dia que quiera llega al E6 y de tantas versiones del Fantasma de la Opera Marco Hietala Y Tarja Turunen son los mejores ya que la version de Sarah Brightman si es buena llega al E6 pero no

  • VERY NICE COVER!

  • Was hoping to see the lovely Christina singing Maiden here.

  • The fact that she didnt hit the high note at the end doesn't mean that she CAN'T hit... I'm pretty sure she's completly capable of hitting the E6, she just tried a different way that didnt work...

  • I wish they would have covered this more in the style of the original and as for the high note at the end it sounds amazing and atleast floor uses a decent technique that she doesnt need to pause before the high note like tarja does. I like both, but floor rises above tarja.

  • Holy shit..Russell is beyond awesome there! Floor is amazing!

  • Floor < Tarja

  • no se, pero russell se la morfa con la mirada :P russell is eating her with his gaze

  • i love floor so much~~~

    but i feel bit disappointed she didnt hit the end high note as high as tarja,though tarja cant hit the original E6 as well.

  • tendria que escuchar a tarja para ver la diferencia pero por siempre fan de floor

  • la canta mejor tarja no jodan ¬¬ tarja en la ultima nota se va a la mierda <3 y floor...ppsss me gusta,la admiro, me encanta su voz, pero no me puso la piel chinita como lo hace tarja cada q la escucho dar esa ultima nota... :(

  • Have to agree with everyone else, I prefer Tarja and Marco. They have more emotion and power, and it's even better live than on the record.

  • es única, no le copia a nadie! xD

  • My face is getting to where it needs a Phantom of the Opera mask. THAT IS BAD.

  • @HeadmasterPrime5 or is it just because your face is bad?

  • @darkclange No it got better.

  • She sings ( yet a little worst) and looks like Tarja, but the 2005's Nightwish version is really the best!

  • @henriqueferreira2009 LOOKS like Tarja????

  • @starlightmistiq I mean the she, tried to imitate the tarja's sing style...

  • @henriqueferreira2009 I cannot agree. They both have very very unique style, and this song can't be made in too many ways....it is written in a certain way...I like both interpretations :)

  • @starlightmistiq ok is your right!

  • @henriqueferreira2009 Right. That's why she is singing in a different tone, style, and hitting the higher pitch and also needing less pauses.

  • I prefer Nightwish version TARJA / MARCO ... so much better than this

  • I like this version, but I prefer Tarja's version.

  • The Original Version was singin for first time By SARAH BRIGHTMAN in 1986...This is good but I prefere the Original version.Sarah Brightman sing better this song

  • @Geometryalgebra Andrew Lloyd Webber composed this song.

  • I prefer tarja's version of the song!

    I like floor, but not here..

  • OMNOMNOM RUSSEL ALLEN AND FLOOR JANSEN WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK! Absolutely amazing! Thanks for the upload :)

  • @Geometryalgebra As you can very well read I put Andrew Lloyd Webber's name first, but also Nightwish since this was covered after their version (if you listen to it you can actually realize that) not after the original.

  • russell is the best vocalist on earth

  • FLOOR JANSEN IS ONE AMAZING LADY. And tall too, hahah! Still remember her running around in oslo with Mark Jansen, she was wearing a pink sweatsuit. x)

  • Love this song, everything sounds better metalized.

  • I preffer Marco and Tarja, Russel Allen just isn't good enough

  • @Zarenamena Russell not good enough?? Like hell he isnt! Marco is a good singer, but Russell is in a completely different league mate

  • 2:00 headbanging tubaplayer haha :D

  • gerard butler does it better

  • @hoobalogginmedia no, just no.

  • She rivals tarja!

  • she's singing like lyrical dramatic soprano! with very dark voice! :S

  • FLOOR!!!! <3

  • i bet he nailed Floor!!

  • Russell Allen rules!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ES una buena version, pero definitivamente me quedo con la de Nightwish.

  • Floor has a great voice and its nice to hear her there :) Unfortunately the audio isn´t so good and she ins´t as loud as it woud be pefect

  • I think they didn't put Floor's microphone in the correct volume :S Otherwise it would be awesome, really!

  • Russell... I LOVE YOU!!!

  • the voice of the girl is so weak!!!

  • Best male and female metal singers. Period.

  • Floor is a great singer but I think that she ruins this song

  • @chopantura yeah you're right

    tarja turnen can sing this mutch better and she sing's it with more power.

    that makes the song amazinger.

    this is'nt a song for floor;)

  • @xVanDaaltjex Amazinger? Wow. I'm cowering in awe of your verbal ludicrousness. She might have a better soundman or just a good set of lungs but she lacks the heart... Every time I hear her sing, I wonder where here heart and mind are. Technical skill versus ability to convey emotion? I know which one I'll vote for.

  • It IS Floor! couldn't see in the other version. She is the most versatile performer out there.

  • nightwish is much better.

  • this is Russel Alen and Flor Jansen, great musicians,I'm Enjoy this, but the music is exactly the same that use Nightwish in they version. Dreams of sanity's version souds completely diferent than Nigtwish or Sara Brigthman. Maybe Flor and Russel based sounds on Nightwish. but I preffer the Original Sound for everyone. ------ ( Flor Jansen y Russel Alen su version suena igual que la de Nightwish. yo preferiria que intentaran una version mas Original que sonara completamente diferente )

  • @overlordrichard Como la de Hollyhell

    suena diferente de la original, la de NW y la de DoS... buscala, para mi no es tan buena como cuakiera de esas pero si es muy original y buena

  • @adr14ntr ok. tomare en cuenta tu comentario. siempre es bueno conocer mas versiones. pues se enriquece mi conocimiento.. muchas gracias.

  • The guy did really well. NIghtwish butchered that part.

  • She is Floor Jansen...noooo! Tarja!

    I love Floor and Tarja mmmm...too. but Tarja only was cool with Nightwish..now I don't know..

  • @Bestella30 Tarja is always the best.. The band doesn't matter in her voice... Tarja is the most beautiful voice all over the world!!

  • @potterclubtv they only think the future of thei're self

    but tarja can do what she won't i mean who doesn't wan't have tarja in the metal band's:D

  • @xVanDaaltjex How about anyone with a brain?

  • Interesting that they're doing Nightwish's arrangement of the song. Not that I'm surprised...

  • She didn't go out of tone. Perfect.

  • I prefers Lacrimosa's one...

    And the original one (Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford)

    But this one is cool

  • Floor is my fav singer, hands down, her voice has more dimensionality and flexibility than all the other Metal Queens.

    But my favorite version of "Phantom of the Opera" is Dreams of Sanity feat. Tilo Wolff (Lacrimosa.)

  • are you serious? thats not a aong of Nightwish anf Floor's voice is superb enough to hit this song!

  • i heard russell allen used to sing blues... i think that's the best combination..

  • I think that this will never be compared to nightwish period.

  • @GothicBerryBella Does it need to be? It's a famous song in itself, and after the original, very first performance (which would've been something completely different from this), every "cover" of it will be unique and apart from the previous.

    Why do you need to elevate Nightwish's rendition to some deific standard and fling dirt on everything else?

  • @Tumnaloth If you want to put it like that darling, and take it personal. Everybody has the right to show their opinions, if you don't like mine then get your eyes the fuck out of my comment. =]

    The song may be a famous one, yes, but the metal parts came from Nightwish. Like I said Cannot be compare to Nightwish version, because of the quality, the vocals, the instruments, effects etc. in other words suck it.

  • @GothicBerryBella Heh. So you do have a loud bark but very little bite. I don't think I'm the one taking things personal here, spouting swear words to look real mature. By all means keep your preference - but enough with the hating, all right? So it's not as good as you think Nightwish is? Suck it up. It's not Nightwish, and I think the sound quality of the recording device may have something to do with things. Still, it's beautiful in it's own way.

  • @Tumnaloth Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooo................­. In other words I think you can comment your point of view without needing to reply to any ones comments, because if you do... then don't expect everybody to be nice with you. "Spouting swear words to look real mature" -............... Seriously..??!!! Wtf... Look for maturity in the dictionary.

  • Not bad for a Nightwish cover, very difficult song to duplicate, especially Tarja's part. xD Nice video though!

  • @Dethisme6 this isn't a Nightwish cover...

  • Nice but can't compete the original version

  • yo prefiero la version de nightwish!!!!

  • I like how Allen can hit all of her high notes perfectly. Absolute beast.

  • fail

  • fail

  • I think this is an awesome song but it's too bad that this has to lead to the inevitable Floor/Tarja comparison.  I think Floor, in general, is the best there is. Tarja has a beautiful voice but Floor is so much more versatile. Tarja just can't pull off the heavier/more angry sound that Floor does with ease. Floor just moves so smoothly between sweet and dark.

  • it's a pity there's no high quality version of this :(

  • maybe people here thinks is better with tarja but you can see that these both have different voices registration

  • i was there :)

  • Who talked about Nightwish?? this songs don't belong to nightwish... Comparing Tarja with Floor? Tarja hath a great voice but Floor sings very well too..!* for this song I do prefer Sarah brightman, I absouletely prefer her... BUT TARJA, SIMONE, FLOOR ROCKS.

  • Floor can't sing like Tarja... because she isn't professional opera singer... Tarja is absolutely better then floor and any other singers of the world!

  • @potterclubtv Tarja isnt a professional opera singer either...the only opera singer in metal is Melissa Ferlaak

  • @sweetaztecangel69 You think so... Tarja was the soloist of Finnish national opera house... we don't need talk about, that Tarja is the best... It's distinct...

  • @potterclubtv

    Uhm, Tarja has a darker timbre, and is rather a dramatic soprano which you can clearly hear particularly on the first NW albums. Floor sounds absolutely lyrical, though the sound isn't clear. There's no point in comparing different types of voices, I think.

    Anyway, this is not an opera aria, this is a musical piece that calls for classical training. And singing a couple of arias does not make someone an opera singer. Playing roles in theaters and opera houses, now that does.

  • @dfgrbtr Tarja is a lyric soprano... Check it up at Wikipedia or other sources... She said that ... I don't need fight but Tarja is an angel of music for me... And I don't care others opinion =))

  • @potterclubtv

    Uh, I don't think things are always defined properly at Wiki, so to say. :S Often, it proves to be useful, though. However, she definitely has a dramatic timbre. Particularly on earlier NW albums. Not a Brunhilde, I've never said that. :D You seem to be pretty mad about her. :P

    Floor sounds so very light, of what I can hear in this noise, at least. :D

  • @dfgrbtr Okay, but her voice has changed ... I have seen one of the most popular journal, where Tarja said that she is lyrical soprano.... U can check it =(( Look at "End of an Era" concert and you can hear her lyric voice .. :*:*

  • @sweetaztecangel69 Well, not the only one, but one of the very few

  • @potterclubtv "Nowadays, I see myself as a light lyrical soprano. Everybody should know that I am not a professional opera singer. I am far away from being that and I have never said I would be alike. I have never specialised myself in Opera. I studied specifically chamber music singing. I have a lot of respect for real Opera singers. Still, my voice is classically trained, but it doesnt mean that I would be ready to sing a complete opera today. "

  • The vocalises at the end aren't as good as Tarja's one, and it's (a bit) of pity because Floor can easily reach the highest notes ^_^

  • @orlyane exactly

  • The parents wanted their child to be down to earth?

  • @TheThrashMaster it's actually a very common name here in the netherlands, where we speak Dutch, and it doesn't have that meaning. but for her as an internationally famous singer it really does suck pretty hard :P

  • Personally, I think Tarja sings this song with more power and emotions... I was kind of expecting Floor to do better than Tarja, but she still performed beautifully ♥

  • Damn amazing !!!!!! Why didn't Nightwish chose Floor to sing with trhem instead of No voice Anette

  • @Bail1Organa I prefer Simone Simons for Nightwish :P

  • @potterclubtv

    :DDDD

  • @Bail1Organa

    This bothers me constantly.  Floor would have made Nightwish so much more than it is now. Or if they really wanted to completely move away from Tarja's style, they should have just had Marco sing all the time.

  • @OhtarwenElenya yes. Floor is one of the bests voices in the metal scence, maybe the best after Tarja, and see Floor singing old Nightwish songs and new ones (because he has shown us lots of times that she can sing whatever she wants) would be something that i just can´t explain, just what Nightwish needs. cause what they really need is a singer to sing all (what Floor clearly is). an exelent interpretaion from Floor in this song, of course

  • muy groso!!!!como q la mina le erra en la ultima nota...y es el cantante de symphony x!!!!

  • excellente claro que floor como siempre!!!!!!!!! pero tambien el chico canta bien.

    alguien me puede decir who is the boy?

  • i don't think there has ever been a time where russell disappointed

  • I love Both Tarja and Floor. although I prerfer Floor due to her hilarious name xD

  • Floor is lyrical soprano too. and the song isn0t witten for sarah, Webber writen this song for lyrical soprano, but Sarah decide sing this song and the song come to the max high note more than high E

  • @liricobarroco The song itself was not written for Sarah Brightman, but Webber wrote the character of Christine around Sarah, for her to be Christine...it's not like Sarah was just walking by and happened to audition

  • This isn't a cover from nightwish version! this is the original partiture (partitura), Nightwish do the electric guitars but the Christine line voice is the same at the partiture.

  • She didn't hit the right note at the end, but still ... she kicks Tarja´s delicious ass any day of the week. I love both though .l,,l

  • cool video I only don't understand why you write this is Nightwish cover... this is not their song and they weren't first who sang this song.... :)

  • i wrote andrew lloyd webber as the original composer (as you can see) and nightwish also because i know they used the nightwish version for the orchestration.

  • why she instead of trying to apply that fcking stupid vibratto tries to be on tune...

    thats primary thing..

  • Russel Allen is amazig in this song!

  • Rusell allen is always amazing.

  • buena!  pero me gusta mas Tarja

  • awesomeeeee!:D

  • Russell Allen did a great job. Floor not so much. I think this song doesn't suits her, but maybe if she practice more on this tune, she could do a better performance.

  • Omg they sound the same than nightwish :O

  • Russell Allen <3

  • Russel Allen rulessssss

  • fucking amazing....

  • Awsomeee :)

  • Flooooor!!!

  • russel is awesome,can sing everything.

  • they have to record this song now !!!! I mean it!

  • Yeah! Floor is better than Tarja, Tarja suks in live and her vibrato is horrible!

  • @TheImaginarylullaby I think Tarja's ending note live is much, much better than Floor's.

  • HaHaHaHaHa!!!! keep dreaming... Floor is only copying Tarja's version in this video, and she's failing so hard... XD

    I like Floor, and I think she has a cool voice, but this song doesn't suits her at all.

  • ... -_- ...

    I think you're jealous because EVERYONE knows and agrees that Tarja is the metal goddess. She's beautiful, talented, charismatic and unique... while you, one the other hand, are only lame...

    Sad, isn't it? well, it must be sad for you... XD

  • i think they should do a studio version! *O*

    two of the greatest voices ever!

    no need to compare with Tarja/Marco duet, it's useless... they're totally different.

    i love two versions!(L) *O*

  • Cool Version!

  • ma che coionada andè a lavorar !!!!!!

  • o.o

  • FUCK U!!!!!

  • This sounds really weird, I don't think is very fit for this song =S

  • Floor is as usual AWESOME :)

    Russell is having a proper heart-attack over there though =P

  • OMG goooooooohohooooooosebumbps XD

  • Russell Allen is freakin AMAZING !

  • It's SO easy for her to sing like that !!!!

  • Awesome!

  • Sweet, they rock

  • I Think Marco And Tarja From Nightwish Are The Best, But,..

    WTF This Also Rocks!!!!!

  • @EinesStolzesHerz I love deeply Tarja, is the queen! but Floor is pretty good too.

    Annette is that it is disappointing...

  • @othervision dont talk of Anette on a video like this!!!! Anette would scream in this song as much as Marco Hietala!!!!

    by the way it´s strange to hear Floor singing opera on such low tones, it turns the song darker, more fantasmic. as the Phantom of the Opera must be

  • nightwish should have floor be the new vocalist she is an amazing vocalist and has experienced like taja

  • hm i disagree, floor would be able to do it but its not how floor is, i dont think she'd be happy in nw. she wants true heavy metal. look at how AF was, she sung opera here and there but mostly a powerfull rockvoice. also 1 thing she let go about her new band "revemp" was that, I quote, it was gonna be very heave and very metal. she belongs in a band more like AF, not nightwish.

  • dude, russ allen rules!

  • omg floor's voice is just perfect^^,the best singer in this world^^. such control, such power, such a balance to reserve the final blow a the end, she's our saviour XD

  • russell allen, the best male metal singer ever

  • Comment removed

  • Floor Jansen should replace Anette Olzon in Nightwish.....

  • Now that would rule...

  • you are totally right

  • absolutely not. after forever is the kind o music where floor's heart lies, she's said it housans of times and in her new band she's going to continue the style of after forever. her music has much more power then nightwish. anette is exatly what nightwish needs right now, nighis coudve chosen an operavoice if they wanted to but the road inmusic tey waned to go befited anette olzon. ifanette is the kind of voice nightwish wants, then floor doesnt belong there:P

  • The only problem is that Annette is NOT the kind of voice Nightwish wants :P

  • so even though whole nightwish sais themselves that they listened to all the thousands auditions and from the beginning they took anette's audition as comparisson cause she was exactly what they were looking for and eventually also chose her, we are supposed to say they're lying cause you say so?:P. or is there actually some proof to the fact this isnt what they want:P

  • It seemed like a good decision in the beginning to get Anette, but now when they realize her attitude is worse than Tarja's they regret it....however they have to stick with her until they find a replacement....which will not be an easy job at all....

  • ok now yo haven't answered my question so again where does this theory of yours come from?:P, cause my statements come from ecent interviews and pressconferents. yous are nothing but fairytales:P unless you answer my question:P.

    btw where do you get anette's attitude is worse then tarja's XD? anette is like the oposite of tarja,that's why they chose her. it's unbelievable how much she offered herself up to a new band at the cost of her own to blend herself into the NW-world, there's just no way

  • Aprilrain89---do not wait for Tuomas to come up and spell it for you....when that will happen they will already have a replacement for Anette....you have to analyze body language, facial expressions, tone of voice and other subtle stuff like that....add to that the experience of meeting Nightwish in person-----add to that the fact that they didn't play anything off their FIRST THREE ALBUMS on their last American tour...watch Annete talking about her solo album....etc etc....

  • ok in other words, excuses for you to beleive your own stories to help you cope with nightwish changing against your wishes, pretty sad. you have no right to speak for tuomas, let alone make up your own stories, he can speak for himself. the day tuomas would tell us something lke that himself i beleive it, before that you are just another sad little anette-hater to me:P. not playing the first 3 albums has no connection what so ever:S,or would you like to explain?

  • I never denied I don't like Anette and it is my right not to like her....I used to hate her, but now I care less and less about Nightwish.....I think Tarja took the lead and is growing....bottom line: firing Tarja was a necessary mistake on their behalf....:)
