New Musical Discoveries - Nightwish - The Phantom Of The Opera, (A Halloween Special)

Yes Yes, I do know that this is primarily a pop rock music blog and not broadway show tunes. However, a halloween special is always welcome But as you know, I love to uncover hidden gems. At least in the US, this song is truly qualifies as a hidden gem. Finnish band Nightwish is a master at contrasting soft & loud and slow & fast. Furthermore, female singer Tarja Turunen's powerful vocals are unmatched. Take a look at the reaction to the audience to the performance. What an amazing event!


For those of you wishing to hear the studio version
