    Ok just saw the video (I know I'm late, working my ass off! 😬)...

    The pop look will take some getting used to, but the video is very nice! Has Floor the required credentials now for Eurovision? 😁

    If you're interested in the credits for the song:

    Among other things, Gordon Groothedde co-wrote After Forever's Energize Me.

    I was wondering who did the Vid. But it's in the credit list ... 👍

    The automatic translation is nearly incomprehensible but I got the main idea. 😆

    I tried it and I understand your remark. It seems like an one to one translation of Dutch/English on YT (the spoken words are also not always transferred correct from spoken to written by YT). But it gives you a good insight of the Dutch sentence structure that is is complete different than the English structure 🤣

    Hopefully there is another interview with Arjen about this subject in English 🤞 or somebody translates this Dutch interview properly

    I'll keep my eyes/ears open 🧐

    That's... a long interview! 😯

    I will help you a bit with your precious time 🤗

    👉 ... at 54min Arjen explains the raison for the "guide vocals"

    Somewhere in the interview (still haven't found the timestamp 🧐) he also explains that the guide vocals were so good that he want to share these too.

    2012: The End of another Era (Anette to Floor)

    in Nightwish Media

    Posted · Edited by mabla

    Some input:

    Nightwish interview - Floor (part 1) - YouTube

    3.40 Floor tells about how she was asked to replace Anette temporary for the SA tour due to the fact that Anette is, for that tour, too far in her pregnancy.

    I've read or seen somewhere that Annette was furious when she founds out that Floor was her planned temporary replacement (everybody but not floor was the statements of Annette as far as I can remember). She wanted that NW should cancel that tour. Can't remember the source for this info. Stil thinking 🤔

    🤘

    Time to Face Your Demons! 😈

    It's a great performance by Floor, and the band adapted well to a more metal sound.

    YES ... After Forever memories . In the "den Haag solo show" the band put on some devil horns 🤘 Took some time before Floor mentioned that.   I was there and it was funny. Great memory. And I love the "growl" part in this song 🤗

    Here's another reactor that just discovered Nightwish. Former American rock radio DJ, so that adds an interesting angle to his story.

     @Fugazi it works 🤗 and thanks for this recommendation, great reaction to GLS. Watched also this one in one breath 🤘

    Love it! It's interesting to actually see Floor's pitch and the discussion about auto-tuning and pitch correction is fascinating. Looking forward to more of this!

    Thanks @Spartanguy83, Nice one, skipped it initially but due to your recommendation watched it completely in one straight track 🤘  Didn't understand the theories but it was great to see him confirming what I'm hearing; Floor is the best 😁

    Yeah, it's happening. YouTubers are so hungry for monetization that they're picking phonecam live recordings to react to, likely to avoid copyright bots.

    I have a rant coming up about both the business of YouTube reactions and the toxicity of YouTube crowds, but I'll spare you for now and save it for another day. 😉 

    For some reason I'm able to skip over these reactions 😁

    I'm curious for your upcoming "RANT" 😁 For my info: What are the rules and limitations for such a rant 🤔 This to find and report any irregularities to the admin when boundaries are exceeded 🧐   😂🤣

    It works, as long as one creates a free account. 👍

    Single! Looking forward to see what style she will choose for her solo album. I expect a softer side of Floor, more Beste Zangers than Northward or reVamp. But except for saying that it won't be like what she already does, Floor gave very little clues!

    Edit: Wow, it's weird seeing Julia, Elizabeth, Rebecca and those other reactors on Dutch TV!

    Interview now on YT with subs 👍

    RTL XL - Jinek • Afl. 44

    Don't know if this can be viewed everywhere but Floor and Henk were present in the Dutch talkshow of "Eva Jinek" 

    Starting after approx 45 min. Nice promotion for the current Henk Poort shows and about the magic connection between Floor and Henk. For us nothing news, accept the ambition from Floor to release her first own single early 2022.

    🤘

    Lowell is seated, New York is standing, so there's some of both.

    In other news...

    It would appear that the Oslo show has been moved a few days to November 14th.

    Also:

    Image

    Here we have the 70% of the max capacity rule for events currently. Both NW concerts in Amsterdam are sold out ... 

    Unfortunately the positive tested persons are rising in the Netherlands at the moment. This with over 80% of the 12 + persons fully vaccinated!  83% of the persons on the IC are not vaccinated. With the current figures I'm afraid that the 70% rule will stay on for the rest of the year.

    As far as I can see there is room in the venue agenda and as well the NW agenda for a third show straight before or after the current planned shows in Amsterdam to get in everybody who bought a ticket. Lets hope for the best... Can't wait to see them again.

    🤘
