WHy debate on their voices? They are awesome vocalists in their own range. Of course, we can all agree that Floor has a lot of versatility and has a lot of possibilities with that powerful voice, but each time I see them performing together, I get that fuzzy feeling that they are simply enjoying themselves, without any consideration about who has this or that, and without any jealousy. They seem very fond of each other, and that's all that matters! :D
Oh yes theyre thick as thieves both being friends. Having sung together in each others bands time after time. theres no competition but collaboration and fun. :)
Yes, they were amazing. I couldn't really hear Simone at all when they sang together, not sure why. I don't know if its down to confidence, microphone or maybe she just didn't want to upstage Floor since she was diverting pretty much all the attention to her.
Hamster Munchies I hear SImone sing a lot lower in the part where Floor uses her high notes after the verse: "Hang this heretic who's indulged in unchaste thoughts Silence him such as the laws of the vellums prescribe", so that may be why. I think Simone used her lower range so that it wouldn't be high notes overload :p
Simone's lows aren't strong enough. This is why Floor sings the alto part in Stabat Mater in that collab. I adore these two in collabs regardless of who sings what parts. Their friendship and fun are what is great to see!
Awesome, thanks for capturing this on video! Floor and Simone are both still awesome, but you can see that they're older now.... they had such energy back when this was recorded!
This wa a very interesting turn on the song with Floor doing the main part and singing it instead of it all being growls. Nice collaboration from Simone and Floor as usual.
2:38 you could hear Floor’s wooo! without the microphone 😮 Edit: If somehow I ever end up on a roller coaster with Floor, I’m definitely wearing ear protection !
Wonderful performance!!! Floor is the best female singer ever!! And Simone sings awesome too,what a great deep alto range she has!! Oh and Mark Jansen made an awesome job with his screams on this song!!
Wow at the moment both Floor and Simone singing opera, Floor's soprano is super and Simone's alto just freaking amazing :D two of the best singers ever
holy shit her their voices are so potent, thay get the microphone so far. i definitely want a duet like this on a ReVamp or Epica album. awesome that this concert will be on Epica´s DVD
Yeah I love how she sings that part too!!!. But the original gruntsin After Forever are done by Sander Gommans not by Mark. Just in case you didnt know. -)
I loved this, very nostalgic! Interesting what they did in the beginning, with Floor singing Sander's part. I used to love this song, I remember watching After Forever perform it live many many years ago. Thanks for uploading this 💕
Amazing shot of when they were headbanging together :D I just love all musicians who are so in their music, playing with the public, having fun on the stage
tenes razon tarja no es cantante de metal , lo suyo siempre fue la opera, pero con esa voz y no gustarle para nada el metal hizo con nightwish las canciones mas bellas, y fue la cantante a la que muchas tomaron como inspiracion, y hoy son algo en el mundo del metal....gracias tarja.....tu ausencia se nota en el metal.
It's just different vocal types. I prefer Floor myself for the more unique vocal type, but Simone's voice is a beautiful very well trained one as well and they like each other just the way they are too
Same. Of course Simone doesn't have the same kind of strenght Floor has (esp. the part from 0:35 is abso-fucking-lutely stunning 80's-heavyrock style from Floor), but I'm really starting to like the timbre of her voice (Storm the Sorrow being one fine example). She has evolved a lot and is still evolving. And I really dislike these comparisons between singers. Floor has her own style, more heavy, Simone has her own, more sweet and I'm glad they're out there and getting more recognized.
I love you for upload this! you have no idea how much..! this is so amazing... I'll die more than happy if I see 1vid with Tarja... I mean Tarja&Floor... But Simone is just fine, though! :) love both.
Thank you for this Vid! I get shivers watching it..I was at the very front of the crowd during this song and went completely berserk when Floor came on stage. I even lost my earplugs because of the severe headbanging. Unfortunately that meant leaving the crowd for me :(
que duo tan exelente el que hacen este par de divas. aunque a floor le noto mas energía, suena exelente y que buen trabajo que hace Epica asiendo este cover.
Yeah I agree, those are Amy fans who only see Amy as a soloist and have no idea of the other guys who contribute to the music. Amy doesn't deserve all the credit she gets in my opinion. Not saying she is bad, but she isn't some rock queen to put on a pedestal and worship.
@GothicAmy4 Actually Amy, I didn't mean it the wrong way. I said that Simone is not a coloratura because someone commented that she is. I like and respect her work and improvement. Of course neither Floor is a coloratura. I don't think that I have come across any coloratura soprano in the metal world by now. I don't like recent works of Floor but I desagree that she has a common voice now, which I think is unprobable. I really can only listen to Floor here, but it doesn't mean I prefer her.
Gracias por subir este video! Maravilloso trabajo y hermosas voces! Las amo a las dos!! Pero hay algo q no entiendo..a kien le compuso la cancion Mark Jansen "Run For a Fall"?

I love them both, you guys dont need to bring one singer down in order to compliment the other one, i hate that so much, both these women are amazing.
I couldn't agree more
WHy debate on their voices? They are awesome vocalists in their own range. Of course, we can all agree that Floor has a lot of versatility and has a lot of possibilities with that powerful voice, but each time I see them performing together, I get that fuzzy feeling that they are simply enjoying themselves, without any consideration about who has this or that, and without any jealousy.

Oh yes theyre thick as thieves both being friends. Having sung together in each others bands time after time. theres no competition but collaboration and fun. :)
The joy of their friendship shines through each heavenly note.
Are you serious? Tell us where exactly do you notice that.
Best female metal voices!
I love these two women, together they are just unstoppable. Floor and Simone are two of the most dominate forces in the industry ever!
Every Floor/Simone duet I've seen has been great, and the chemistry between them is undeniable, and quite lovely to watch.
2:38 Floor didn’t even have the mic to her face and you could still hear her “whooo” clearly over the music.
Both their mics at waist.
Ver Epica com Floor Jansen (fazendo dueto com Simone Simons) tocando uma música do After Forever não tem preço!!!!
Isso é surreal Simone fazendo apoio no soprano de Floor as vozes casaram perfeitamente e atemporal isso
Floor's high notes, though...wow.
Yes, they were amazing.
I couldn't really hear Simone at all when they sang together, not sure why. I don't know if its down to confidence, microphone or maybe she just didn't want to upstage Floor since she was diverting pretty much all the attention to her.

nimedhel09
The two of them together could shatter bullet-proof glass. XD
nimedhel09 the thing is... simone can't sing any of the high notes that floor is capable of singing
ArkhamVI That's normal, she's not a soprano like Floor :D I just wanted to respond to Hamster Munchies's comment, that's all!
Floor is awesome! But Simone's low notes are amazing 2:10
+Jacqueline Lima Simone needs to use her lower registers more, because she can sing in such a gorgeous alto.
They are indeed!
Simone's lows aren't strong enough. This is why Floor sings the alto part in Stabat Mater in that collab. I adore these two in collabs regardless of who sings what parts. Their friendship and fun are what is great to see!
Floor is amazing. Her voice is so powerful!
Awesome, thanks for capturing this on video! Floor and Simone are both still awesome, but you can see that they're older now.... they had such energy back when this was recorded!
God I miss after forever.
1:51 Amazing Floor! your vocal range is very Impressing Superior in all sense! Wonderful
This wa a very interesting turn on the song with Floor doing the main part and singing it instead of it all being growls. Nice collaboration from Simone and Floor as usual.
Floor Jansen, is the metal queen.
Floor is the ultimate Metal Female vocalist of all time.
Its 8 years later and no other conclusion could possibly be reached.
She's better than ever now.
Floor Jansen on stage so reminds of a female Bruce Dickinson. So excited about seeing Nightwish next year.
I was thinking about that another day! I was saying "she is the female version of Bruce" lol
Floor is A M A Z I N G
Floor's outfit rocks, I want it :D
OMFG! Its another world
2:38 you could hear Floor’s wooo! without the microphone 😮
Edit: If somehow I ever end up on a roller coaster with Floor, I’m definitely wearing ear protection !
A joy to listen to them sing with each other.
Floor ♥️
wow amazing!...the two queens of metal together
Wonderful performance!!! Floor is the best female singer ever!! And Simone sings awesome too,what a great deep alto range she has!! Oh and Mark Jansen made an awesome job with his screams on this song!!

OMFG ! two queens !
Their voices compliment each other so well, like puzzle pieces.
OMG!!!
2:10 to 2:25
Simone's mic = 2 cm away
Floor's mic = 20 cm away
Floor is pure POWER, love her!!!
Love Simone of course too!!!
I loved this, very nostalgic! Interesting what they did in the beginning, with Floor singing Sander's part. I used to love this song, I remember watching After Forever perform it live many many years ago. Thanks for uploading this 💕
Amazing shot of when they were headbanging together :D

02:21 AWESOME!!!!
Duas deusas do metal shymphonico!
Dudd, Floor looks like a valkyrie, shes HUGE,.
Those who like northern big girls thumbs up !!!!
Best comment I've ever read in a symphonice metal band video. Really, guys, stop bitching about who's the best singer, just enjoy their music!!!
2:38 ... can you see how far was the mic from her and you can still hear the "woooh!"??
This Duett are the best ever
Floor!!!! You're sooooooooooooooooooo perfect!!!!!!
Wow, Floor is tall.
And her voice breaks rocks.
que perrotas, las amo, holanda cuna de vocalistas prodigio.
2:20 Those high notes, breathtaking!
Good for you. I can see that you are such a clever young man and that you have such a deep and complex mind.
tenes razon tarja no es cantante de metal , lo suyo siempre fue la opera, pero con esa voz y no gustarle para nada el metal hizo con nightwish las canciones mas bellas, y fue la cantante a la que muchas tomaron como inspiracion, y hoy son algo en el mundo del metal....gracias tarja.....tu ausencia se nota en el metal.

Floor is amazing.
when these two queen sing together, they sound like Therion))) Love theeeeem!!
cannot wait to see them, epica and revamp next month. great vid as well.
It's awesome!
too sad I will never see something like this live ToT!!
@Jillian Off course that Floor owns stage because is the guest of Epica @metal female voice, and that song is song by after forever. ;)
Floor is the best !!
you see the difference in power, Floor holds her mic like one feet away from her, Simone is about to eat it and still Floor sounds over everything
AMAZING....AMAZING...AMAZING
I love it
Floor is the best singer ever!
Same. Of course Simone doesn't have the same kind of strenght Floor has (esp. the part from 0:35 is abso-fucking-lutely stunning 80's-heavyrock style from Floor), but I'm really starting to like the timbre of her voice (Storm the Sorrow being one fine example).

This duet is epic(a)!
Perfect!!!!
adoro as duas vozes incriveis
what´s is your cam? Nice video and audio guy! Thanks for uploanding!!!
I love you for upload this! you have no idea how much..!
this is so amazing... I'll die more than happy if I see 1vid with Tarja... I mean Tarja&Floor...
But Simone is just fine, though! :) love both.
Thank you for this Vid! I get shivers watching it..I was at the very front of the crowd during this song and went completely berserk when Floor came on stage. I even lost my earplugs because of the severe headbanging. Unfortunately that meant leaving the crowd for me :(
que duo tan exelente el que hacen este par de divas. aunque a floor le noto mas energía, suena exelente y que buen trabajo que hace Epica asiendo este cover.
tal vez antes no era compositora pero se supone que What Lies Beneath fue enteramente compesto por ella
For me this is the most amazing collab in symphonic metal
Fantastic!
A floor engoliu a simone 👏👏🤫
Yeah I agree, those are Amy fans who only see Amy as a soloist and have no idea of the other guys who contribute to the music. Amy doesn't deserve all the credit she gets in my opinion. Not saying she is bad, but she isn't some rock queen to put on a pedestal and worship.
@GothicAmy4 Actually Amy, I didn't mean it the wrong way. I said that Simone is not a coloratura because someone commented that she is. I like and respect her work and improvement.

2:17-2:23 The best part! Salve Floor, you're amazing!
Gracias por subir este video! Maravilloso trabajo y hermosas voces!
Las amo a las dos!!
Pero hay algo q no entiendo..a kien le compuso la cancion Mark Jansen "Run For a Fall"?
Primero pense q habia sido a Sander pero despues volvieron a trabajar juntos en The Divine Conspirancy , entnces pense q se la habia compuesto a Floor pero aki viene Floor y canta cn Epica como grandes amigos....
Entnces la cancion no va a nadie en particular?
