  • Meet Floor Jansen. The greatest singer of her generation and arguably one of the greatest singers of all time.
    Today Floor sings in a Finnish symphonic metal band called 'Nightwish', but has taken part in many other bands and solo projects over her 20 year career.

    Thanks for the love on the video guys! I want to say 1 thing because I see people are constantly arguing in the comments. The truth is there is no objective 'BEST SINGER in the World. Floor is not the certified best. Dimash is not the best, nor anyone else. Music is subjective. For me, Floor is the most complete singer I have ever heard but that is just my opinion. Also, those saying I am comparing Floor to Maria Callas' opera singing...no I'm not. Obviously, dedicated opera singers are better at opera. Floor's gift to the world is being able to sing almost anything at a high level (this girl could sing a Chinese phonebook and make it sound good) and her incredible stage/emotive performances. You don't have to agree that's she's the best, but please try to avoid hate and the silly comments. Thanks!

      With all due respect: I honestly don't understand why people make such videos at all. I mean in many cases they do it for the sake of provocation and views. But why do you then complain afterwards about the complaints? :) It's just logical that people complain. I really don't understand why people make such videos
      a) It doesn't even make any sense to call someone "the greatest" as there is no scientific model to evaluate that. Such things are subjective.
      b) It's always a provocation. It really is. And especially having Maria Callas in the thumbnail/video who's an icon of flawless vocal technique and belongs to a completely different genre is intentionally highly provocative. Luckily classical music lovers are usually not watching such YT videos, otherwise the comment section would be full with extreme negativity of opera fans who feel attacked and insulted
      c) Such things should generally not be done, and especially not by someone who doesn't have a degree in vocal pedagogy. And with all due respect: You apparently haven't. Otherwise, you wouldn't believe that you can call someone the objectively "greates" and especially: you wouldn't say it about Floor. Floor is very talented and she's also versatile and iconic in some certainw ay, but she has way too many technical flaws to consider her among the very best technique-wise. And you can't call someone "the greatest" who doesn't have flawless vocal technique. With all due respect: That doesn't make sense

      @@diversisanimaliaformis4256 Exactly as they all said.
      Perfect technique along doesn't say everything. Plus that's perfect technique most probably in specific things like classical and opera. But it's not the only way of vocalizing.
      And not only that but irregardless she has a great set of technique and strong baseline structure. Without those things she would be nothing compared to what she is today.
      And she can do many things that others with"better technique"could never do.

      ​@@diversisanimaliaformis4256 I feel very sorry for you that you feel this way. I think you don't understand that music is about more than just technique. Believing that I or anyone else needs a degree in 'vocal pedagogy' to have a strong opinion about music is very misguided indeed. You and everyone else is welcome to have whatever opinion you want. Also fun fact for you my friend as you seem to talk a lot about technique: Maria was known not to have perfect technique. It was everything else about her that made her so special despite other Sopranos having superior technique. For my money, Maria was the greatest Soprano of all, but her technique was far from perfect when compared to many of her peers, even if her performances overall were superior.

    Nice video. But what puts Floor Jansen one step above the rest it's not just her powerful voice or the belting, or sustaining high notes for a long time. We all know she's a powerhouse, but it's her versatility and how she's a musical chameleon what makes her so unique, she can sing in any style, any technique, any song, and make it sound like it was written for her. Other singers can also belt and reach high notes, but she can also keep it small and soft, sing acoustic, intimate songs and still sound powerful and in total control of her voice. And last but not least she's a true PERFORMER, a storyteller, she feels the lyrics, she lives the song, she amplifies the emotion and blows you away. If it's a happy song she will make your life better, if she's singing a sad song she'll make you cry like a baby.

But I think Floor Jansen is proportionately more gifted than Freddie was. It is difficult (not impossible of course) in all musical genres to find a female singer superior to Floor. BUT it is possible in Metal and Opera music to find singers of the same level as Freddie. Some even better ... few, very few ... but there are.

    I am completely biased because I just love Floor, but my personal feelings aside. I have never seen such a master over her voice, she knows exactly how to use that instrument to full affect. Her belts rock the heavens, her lows rumble the earth, and she can jump from one to the other with little effort. While she has honed that instrument and pushed it to it's best, not even the all. She has the innate ability to push any emotion she chooses on the listener, putty in her hands. Then you get to stage presence, oh my god, does she have it. I have seen her turn even the most negative crowds to fangirling men with tears in their eyes. She is the complete package, and with Nightwish, perfection to my ears. Nice video, and I think you know she is without a doubt the greatest I have ever heard, and I have heard many many talented vocalists.

    Where do I even begin...Floor not only has the best versatility, but from a moral perspective, she is humble enough to keep learning, growing, and honing her art to diamond-edged razor sharpness.
    I've only been a fan of hers for the past couple of years -- but I will say this: I am an analytical mind, with emotion thrown in. I love this new album, because of the much-heavier classical side of symphonic metal -- and the vocal lines in Pan, Music, and Shoemaker are those kinds of lines that, if any other band tried to pull off in a metal sense, I don't think they could. Some, like Within Temptation or Epica could come close, but I don't think they would be as successful.
    That being said: While I agree that the terms "best in the world", "best in a generation" or "best in history" are subjective, the only way you can defeat the claim is to find someone who not only meets, but exceeds, the bar established -- in this case, Floor Jansen. As for me, I truly believe that she is the "best in a generation," where Tuomas Holopainen has made music, no matter for her or someone else, that is "history-making" or history-altering."

    When I watch Wacken 2013 I have goosebumps and floorgasm from the very beginning till the last note. Who else can create such emotions?
