Nightwish 'Yours Is An Empty Hope' REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer

Nightwish's "Yours Is An Empty Hope" has been requested as a reaction and analysis for a long time, and it's finally here! I felt relation to the lyrics and message of this song, which I took as living in the here and now, and respecting those around you. This song had such a deep meaning, and conflict in every day lives as a creator showcases the pain this tale reveals.

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Nightwish perform "Yours Is An Empty Hope” for the first time.

Floor has a y/t channel, you should talk with her and see if she would do a q&a with you for the Charismatic Voice, how awesome would that be, I'd be glued from start to finish with a one on one like that.

[bassackwards]

I must say, this channel is the most positive and uplifting little corner of the internet I've ever found. The pure joy in your reactions is contagious. I haven't genuinely smiled and laughed like this in 25 years. Thank you, young lady, for helping this old Marine feel like a whole person again.

[aarongray]

“Haha, metal!”

Elizabeth is all of us.

[GreyMatterStew]

2:05 "Ha ha, metal!" Ok, I'll admit it. That was adorable.

[dubiousj]

I love the look on people's faces when they first realize it's Floor doing the growls! 😂

[andrewmckay]

We aren't going to forget your offer to cosplay as Floor

[KingArthas]

Don't think I've ever heard Floor miss a single note when singing live, be it with Nightwish, After Forever, Revamp or Ayreon... That woman is simply majestic!!!

[tskwerl]

I swear if Elizabeth doesn't have merch made that says "One More Time, " it'll be a crime.

[amherstburgerpicker]

Best thing to come out of 2020 is nightwish making YouTube vocal coaches into metal heads!!!

[tonv]

The way you host your channel is warm and positive. And watching you enjoying the music doubles the pleasure hearing the music.

You fangirling over Floor is similar to Floor fangirling over Hank Poort: extremely talented singers giving the utmost adoration to other extremely talented singers. A sign of true humility of one accomplished professional to another.

[PK--ITA]

Well, it was only a professional that after 5 seconds she knew that it was Floor singing the growl and Marko in a clear voice. So many other "professionals" did not meet.
Thats "disturbing vocal" I call "mermaid call", those mermaids from Greek mythology.
Thanks for the reactions, you are one of my favorite characters and reactionaries on YT. Thx Elizabeth.

[blinkin]

i love the look on Elizabeth's face when she successfully replicates the growl noise at the end and startles herself.

[zepheris]

You noticed Floor was doing the growling faster than any other reactor I've watched. Really speaks to how much skill you have and is why I enjoy your videos so much.

[xfortunesquex]

I imagine this song was very cathartic for Tuomas to write, and for Floor to perform. Both have gotten undue hate online for various assumptions made in regards to their character and their appearance. There's a subset of former fans who like to bash both: Tuomas is difficult, he is a diva, he is rude, he is a dictator in the band, whatever. Then they go on about Floor: her singing choices, her height, her appearance, her personality, and the VERY CLEAR boundaries she has set with fans who think they are owed a hug or whatever when they see her. Years ago, Floor had to post a blog on the site to explain herself because people were calling her a bitch for having boundaries- dead serious. And then there's just the hardcore former fans who think that Tarja would somehow appreciate that they're bashing Floor in order to uplift her. I have quite literally seen youtube accounts dedicated to hating Floor, and they talk shit on almost all of her live performances, then add in how Tarja is the best. Tarja would be mortified to see this done in her name! She is a kind woman who respects her colleagues, and has a great rapport with Floor. So yeah the subject of this song has chapped me quite a bit since I became a fan and saw some of the BS some folks go on about. Such a great song!

[damienbeatty]

I would like to recommend Wintersun- Sons of winter and stars live in studio. First because it has the drummer from Nightwish and second because the lead singer has an amazing voice and is missing part of one lung due to illness.

[heraldol]

it is surprising that after 15+ reactions to Nightwish and Floor, Elizabeth still can be caught off guard... ( ..we had to wait a while for this moment ... but .. finally ... there it is.. Elizabeth discovers Floor's growl 🤣🤣🤣)

[SakpanGr]

Whenever you start listening to a new Nightwish song, you have the expression of a 3 year old opening a jar of chocolate cookies for the first time, and I really love that!

[vanr]

That little "Haha! Metal!" at 02:03 is so cute, I love it!
