Teen Opera Singer Reacts To NIGHTWISH - The Phantom Of The Opera

[pantlessreactions]

I love Marko's style in this as he adds a certain menacing nature to the Phantom

[satortenet]

Some people prefer Michael Crawford, others Ramin Karimloo.
But for me, there's only Marko!

[connmand]

The reason that their styles work so well together here is that Tarja is cast in the role of Christine who is a traditional opera singer and should sound well trained and proper. Meanwhile, the Phantom is a dark, mysterious and dangerous character whose role perfectly lends itself to Marko's metal growls and such. So perfect.

She is a lyric soprano. She is still training as a soprano to this day

[badsiony]

Glad you're still enjoying your Nightwish journey :) Looking forward to more Nightwish videos!

Marco's phantom is may favorite simply because that "all right" at the end makes me believe he is completely insane.
I love how you showed us what you meant as you described the different vocal choices. Well done.

And too think that dearest TARJA was ill for this !!!!
In love with divine TARJA'S vast brilliant diverse solo career
Songwriter, collaborator, producer, musician and on and on.
☮☮💘💘.

This song was my introduction to Nightwish just 10 months ago. Ghost Love Score, with Floor Jansen, was the second song. Tarja is amazing. Maggie Renee was blown away with Marko as well. You should watch her reaction to this song on her channel too. Maggie is an established opera soprano who agrees with your comments...many months ago.

This is my favorite musical and this song is my favorite from the musical. The 2004 movie version was my favorite until I heard this version of it. This is hands down the best.

[joebgaming]

It’s amazing to me that marko can sing this well and this high after losing his falsetto in surgery not a couple of years before

[burningdeadman]

WOW sucha good reaction! You had such good points that made me notice that i had not before and ive heard this version 20 times! Your face at the end was the best! love the videos you are doing amazing

[johnekare]

Great reaction! I appreciate that you take the time to give us your thoughts and reflections on the song. I really enjoy that.

[AndyMagnusson]

Tarja was very sick that night and was not even sure she would be able to sing. And then she walks out on stage and do this. Amazing. This was also her last consert with nightwish before she was fired from the band. And that is a totally different story which I am sure people will tell you about.

[christianmeyer]

Great song, impressive performance and once again a thoughtful reaction. Plus this gracious smile telling the fun you had doing it. So well done 👏👏💖 🙏

[svolos]

This was the last time they sang together. Tarja got the famous letter of dismissal immediatelly after this concert. By the time of this show Marko had already gonne through a botched vocal chord operation which adds a lot more to how impressive this is.

This was Helsinki, Finland. October 2005. I was 18 then, I was there, as a graduation gift. Beautiful venue, beautiful country!!! I'm 37 now. An Unpopular opinion, but... After seeing this live... Floor's got nothing on Tarja. This was literally an "End of an Era" - It was the last time we saw, THE ONLY Siren, the Viking, the Pirate, the Vampire, & the Zombie perform all together. Thank you for sporting this reaction video! Very genuine & honest. Cheers from Portland, OR!!!

Wonderful video, I enjoy watching it! Good mood video :)

They’re both good singers and I personally really like Markö’s singing. Whether he was in his own band (Tarot and later solo career), a member of the Northern Kings, Nightwish (2001-2021) or a visiting musician (like Delain), etc.

A few years of Tarja's youth studies:
In 1993 she attended the Senior Secondary School of Art and Music in Savonlinna city.
At eighteen, she moved to Kuopio city to study at the Sibelius Academy.
From 2001 to 2003, she studied at the music academy Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe in Germany, where she trained as a soloist with further specialization in art song.

A few years of Marko's youth studies:
His music career began at piano lessons at the age of eight. At the age of 11-12 he started playing guitar. After elementary school, Hietala studied singing at the Kuopio School of Music (high school, ) and later singing, bass and music theory at the Pop & Jazz Conservatory in Helsinki.
Marko has mentioned the following people as his musical role models: bassists Geezer Butler and Bob Daisley; singers Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford and Kate Bush.

Marko is a real music worker, he has played or sung in several bands and visited the records of many different bands / artists.
He has been a member of these bands: Nightwish, Tarot, Northern Kings, Heavy Christmas, Sapattivuosi and Sinergy.
He has sung on albums by the following bands: Ayreon, Dreamtale, Altaria, Amorphis, Delain, Conquest, Therion and Dark Sarah.
In addition, he made 2019 a solo album.
Marko won the 2020 Finnish "Masked Singer" competition !!!

[stoneshack]

I commented on the earlier one, but I love it again for the second time just as much. Great reaction girl🔥🔥👍☺︎

I've been a musician for many years playing various instruments, and I do sing, but I'm nothing exceptional. I love your explanation of what the singers are doing. Very informative and helpful. Thanks.
