I always found Floor to be so beautiful, not just her vocal abilty, but also her persona & outfits. Here, 'heavy with child', she's More Beautiful than ever!! 💖
As a Finn, I can't make out all the lyrics, but most of them. Floor is amazing, and I appreciate this performance and I feel this as an honor from her to take time and show some love for her Finnish fans.
It's not just a concert, its a full tour. Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) started a an album in 2004. Erkka Korhonen is a mastermind behind the concept. He takes christmas songs and puts a metal twist to them. 2005 they started touring in 3 cities. They've released 7 albums since and last year they had something like 23 concerts in different cities all around Finland.
@@jamescurfman3284 Last year they turned old Finnish popular songs (that doesn't translate well imo, but not sure if there's better translation to the genre of that music style) to metal and made an album. Each member of the group have their own projects and time tables so you can imagine there's some adjusting to make these conserts happen.
@@PeeVee1979 Oh, COOL! We have something like that, an English-speaking band that has members from different countries and each is involved with a different band. Exit Eden. They make pop songs into Metal. :)
This is from the annual Raskasta Joulua (heavy christmas) tour (cancelled this year). There Finnish metal musicians and some guests perform famous Christmas songs with some metal twist. Floor has been one of the guests for many years. They show the final concert on one of our main tv-channels at prime time. And yes, Floor is divine. Merry Christmas to you Christi, and all the fellow Nightwish and Floor fans out there! ⛄🎅👍
I've watched a few different performances of Raskasta Joulua, and I think we need to promote this festival as much as we can. Granted, a lot of people don't speak Finnish (me included), but they really put on a great show. It is multiple venues through out Finland and Raskasta Joulua means "Heavy Christmas." I really enjoyed your reaction too.
" She`s a great performer, she`s a wonderful vocalist and her generosity of spirit shines through everything she does"...nice words... and i couldn`t agree more🙂 Merry christmas 🎄
Vili Ollila and Tuomas Wäinölä plays also in Marko Hietala's solo project band. And they all are as "studio musicians" and often used in many different line ups.
Floor and Marko do an amazing rendition of Ave Maria at this show too. (Different year though) Even if you don't react to it, (you should), you should definitely check it out. It is gorgeous.
Finland has this thing called 'Heavy Christmas' Raskasta Joulua, It Is basically heavy singer's who sing all the Christmas classics in heavy arregment.
‘Raskasta joulua’ has a double meaning in Finnish. It’s not only ‘heavy Christmas’ but also ‘pregnant Christmas’. Quite literally! Thanks Floor for spelling it out to me😊
Greetins from Finland! This song and Floor is amazing ❤️ Just when u thought that u have heard the most highest note in this song..Floor goes again 😄 Amazing! Love your reactions, keep going! Merry christmas 🎄
What a lovely composition! I loved her classical voice, and the clarity and bright fullness of it. What a treat! To sing this way, and with this much breath control while 'curling' several pounds of baby in every breath, all while said several pound baby rests against one's diaphragm and reduces lung capacity is no joke. Unless, of course, you are Floor, who makes this seem absolutely easy ... She seems to be using more of her interconstals, too, which helps, but, oh, wow for the feat of singing this way while this far along in her pregnancy. She looks radiant. Absolutely stunning. Thank you for this treat of a reaction!
Great reaction absolutely loved it. Thanks for reacting to this. Floor is my Favorite vocalist of all time. Can you please react to Nightwish Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean and Yours Is An Empty Hope😊🙏🙏
Also, look for Floor and Marko doing "Ave Maria" @ Raskasta Joulua 2019 - ruclips.net/video/ut6ufu2CPNg/видео.html As well, Johanna Kurkela & Jarkko Ahola doing Ave Maria some years earlier - ruclips.net/video/amKy5qe8bUA/видео.html Marko in an ensemble doing Little Drummer Boy - ruclips.net/video/xXgX05FcPwQ/видео.html Floor & Marko and ensemble doing Happy Xmas - ruclips.net/video/XcbbDR2oxgI/видео.html
You got to wonder if the baby in there can be hearing and feeling all this fantastic music going on. That baby's going to come out smiling and singing at the top of its lungs!
In Finland we have this thing called "Raskasta joulua" loosely translated as Heavy Christmas where known heavy metal singers and musicians are performing tradional christmas songs. It's very popular and they have been touring since 2004. In Finland we have most metal bands per capita in the world so you can imagine metal is very popular. So why not christmas songs too :)
If you take this as a Christian Song....It says (in the bible i think) Make a joyful noise unto the Lord....This is a joyful noise. I love this song whenever anyone sings it but I really love it when Floor sings it; and I am not a Christian. Thanks for this Ms Bovee. We need a little more love in the world right now. May you and yours be blessed for this Solstice season.
Hi, Christi! It's always a pleasure to listen to your reactions, specially to Lara's and Floor's. I descovered Floor through you! When I watched a video of yours where you stated that two of the greatest things of that year were descovering both of them it was great, because I descovered Floor that year, as I said, through your videos. I descovered Lara a long time ago, in 2001. I wish that Lara was more well known in the USA, but I know that things are changing, now! 😊 A warm hug from Portugal 🇵🇹
Zwangeres! Geniaal! For the English speakers, in Dutch zangeres=female singer. But also, zwanger=pregnant. So this combination zwangeres meaning pregnant singer is not an an official word, but it is absolutely inspired. I bow deeply to my very creative compratiot.
The musicians for these show are mainly metal musicians from Finnish bands and a few from other European bands. Marko has sang on these shows as well. Great job Christy. Loved it so much. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Peace on Earth!
Hi Christi I like this version better because its the first one I saw . You could always to a reaction to compare the two videos. Before and After Freya. She is beautiful inside and out. Merry Christmas
Thanks for the warm reaction! Been bugging for this one long enough :) Now, she just did a beautiful cover of a Dutch song... waiting for the reaction :)
I've never left a comment on RUclips, first time for everything I guess. Loved your comments and reaction, like in other videos I've seen you do. Very insightful and I love your enthusiasm. This song is tough to sing in Finnish because the vowel y in the word "jouluyö" is closed so it clenches your throat (sorry, not a music person myself). I think Floor does wonderfully, and I am a huge fan of Nightwish. Merry Christmas to you and yours, stay safe. PS: I have the same necklace than Floor is wearing on this video!
heavy save christmas spirit :) no matter what language,music always take to the great emotions. thanx to great reaction and analyze and have great weekend there.
The video end notes of this song shows the names of this temporary band formation in Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) 2016 (among others: Marko Hietala)
I have three favourite Dutch singers and they do this song all on their own way, but all on a great manner. The other two are Glennis Grace and Amira Willighagen. I can really recommend that other ones to. I love your reaction.
"Raskasta Joulua" is a project and a band en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raskasta_Joulua founded 2004 by metal guitarist Erkka Korhonen with some other musicians from different Finnish metal bands to make metal versions of traditional Finnish Christmas carols. While the band is always the same, featured vocalist vary year by year. At the moment Erkka is also a guitarist in Heidi Parviainen's "Dark Sarah" band and project, which you may found interesting. Heidi is a professionally educated classical lyric soprano and a singing teacher, she has some RUclips videos where she sings classical opera arias like _"Piangero La Sorte Mia"_ from Haendel's opera _Giulio Cesare_ ruclips.net/video/u8v9Hto14TE/видео.html however besides she used to sing also in Finnish metal band "Amberian Dawn". Her "Dark Sarah" resembles Arjen Lucassen's Ayreon project as there is a psychological fantasy web serial novel she has written www.darksarah.com/chronicles/ and several music videos supporting and spanning to four studio albums they've been released. The latest album "Grim" came out at last summer with couple of music videos like this "Illuminate" ruclips.net/video/__YfXaOcYrs/видео.html
Raskasta joulua =Heavy christmas Is finnish metal musicians collab project which has quite long history traditio Al christmas songs spiced with metal and all the band members are big names In finnish music industry Marko from nightwish Is also one of the artists In this project check out ave Maria from floor and Marko :)
"Raskasta Joulua" "Heavy Cristmas" is a project started 2004 by producer and guitar player Erkka Korhonen. To keep heritage going on they will do a live stream concert (never seen, don't know players), but taking in notice that there are 70 bands/100 000 while US has = 72/ 1000 000 - perhaps rather good ones 😁 If it's as they say that baby in womb can hear the music played to them Her daughter Freya is born symphonic metalhead, LOL...
Lovely reaction yet again, Christi. As few have mentioned, "Raskasta Joulua" (Heavy Christmas) is annual Finnish Christmas concert tour (since 2004), where known rock/metal artists perform rock/metal arrangements of traditional Finnish and International Christmas songs. Many includes Floor Jansen and Marco Hietala from Nightwish. As you liked the "O' Holy Night" by Floor Jansen, you definitely want to check out "Ave Maria" by Floor and Marco as duet on either 2017 or 2019 recorded performances: 1a. Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) 2017 - Ave Maria: ruclips.net/video/AqsnIzOd8AM/видео.html 1b. Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) 2019 - Ave Maria: ruclips.net/video/q1UJHpyFQn0/видео.html Additionally, here's few more highly recommended rockified covers on classic Christmas songs from last years Raskasta Joulua: 2. Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) 2019 - Pieni Rumpalipoika: ruclips.net/video/roO298Y2hqo/видео.html [Original song: "Little Drummer Boy" by Katherine Kennicott (1941). Includes Marco Hietala with other Finnish rockers on vocals] 3. Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) 2019 - Joulun Rauhaa: ruclips.net/video/lgOVDZoDG6g/видео.html [Original Song: "Happy Xmas" by John Lennon & Yoko Ono (1971). Includes Marco and Floor (Floor joins late in the song)] 4. Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) 2019 - Varpunen Jouluaamuna: ruclips.net/video/yKyg4m1qIOQ/видео.html Original song by Otto Kotilainen (1913) from Zacharias Topelius's poem (1859). Zacharias wrote the poem after his child past away. Melancholic original vintage Finnish Xmas song performed by Marco Hietala. Can be emotional when lyrics message hits home] There are plenty more but do check (atleast some of) these out. Greetings and happy Xmas time waiting from Finland! :)
I just ran into your reactions of Angelina Jordan that I had seen already and I was already subscribed. Are you planning on reacting to her anymore? It would be great to see you react to her new live version of Million Miles. Ron from California
It's always funny to me when Floor asks the audience to sing along with her. It's like Michael Schumacher pointing to a formula one car at a race track and saying to a fan, - Just jump in to that car and follow me around the track at max speed, it will be fun...
A good way to think of it is, Raskasta Joulua is basically the Finnish equivalent of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They feature a lot of guest vocalists each year, and Floor happens to be a relatively frequent contributor.
Also one of my favorite heavy Christmas tunes with whos who of finnish metal vocalists ruclips.net/video/CJz1UEyw0MM/видео.html And some more solo Marco ruclips.net/video/yKyg4m1qIOQ/видео.html
Good choice, just my choice would be (and is) the 2019 version. The quality of her singing is slightly higher and the sound is a warmer and deeper. The whole setting is a bit warmer.
I wish they had done some close-ups of the band members, I might have been able to figure out what band it was by their appearance. I have always had terrible vision and my ears are not working like they used to. I thought maybe I could tell by the guitars but Nope...
Thanks for your support and beautiful reaction and I hope more videos reactions and gets more SUBSCRIBERS and viewers specially here in the PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭. I love this song Oh holy night. Can I request? Please react to MORISSETTE AMON her new own song "LOVE YOU STILL" and also her cover song "AIN'T BEEN DONE" by JESSIE J. I hope you like it. Merry Christmas 🎄⛄🎄 and GOD bless you always 🙏❤️🙏💙🙏❤️🙏.
She has indeed a divine voice and iron lungs. Even when pregnant. As she admits to smoke a cigar occasionally, I don't think she inhales, haha. Love that woman, just does her thing whatever people think of it. And that character is I think the secret of her posture on stage. She is who she is, and she convincingly radiates that out. No room for inferiority complexes here!
Reacciona a luciano pereyra pleese, dale una oportunidd, si te gusta luis miguel escucha este cantautor que es una version mas actual del pop romnce . Estadio velez 2018
Hey Christi! Always love your Floor and NW reactions, GLS was the reaction that made me subscribe 🤣 My fave singers have been doing a lot of festive live performance, I’d love to see your reaction to Leona Lewis doing Ave Maria! Classical as well! 😍 ruclips.net/video/zLdYhb5owNE/видео.html Also happy holidays! ❤️
I love your reactions! Here it is another great performance that I love with Floor as a guest singer (with Simone Simons again): ruclips.net/video/nhtOORYTGx8/видео.html

I love this version the most. Floor is just glowing with Freya on board 🙂
Freya had the VIP ticket.

There is English versions of those songs, not all but many. Just type "Ragnarok Juletide" to search box...
By the way, this was her and her daughter's first Holiday DUET...!!!!
I completely agree with you about Floor's personality. Along with the fantastic vocals, she just seems like one of the nicest people ever.
" She`s a great performer, she`s a wonderful vocalist and her generosity of spirit shines through everything she does"...nice words... and i couldn`t agree more🙂 Merry christmas 🎄

This is by far, my favorite version of this song. Even out of Floor's versions. It makes me so happy every time I watch it.
Greetins from Finland! This song and Floor is amazing ❤️ Just when u thought that u have heard the most highest note in this song..Floor goes again 😄 Amazing!
Love your reactions, keep going! Merry christmas 🎄
Normally do not like when a soprano sings this song. But...it is Floor. Magical as her usual
She can even make a Christmas classic her own🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥💜🎤🎸🎇🎆I’m just lost for words to compliment her 🙈

You got to wonder if the baby in there can be hearing and feeling all this fantastic music going on. That baby's going to come out smiling and singing at the top of its lungs!
At six months the baby was absolutely feeling it. I am curious too!
Her voice!! Goosebumps 🥰
And she did - beautifully!🎄 😊

No, she says ”kaikki!” that means ”everybody!” in English.
@@tuksu80 ah ok. Yeah, I realized after I posted it that she probably said something else.
power women
Kiitos:) Christmas song by Marko Hietala and the boys. Raskasta Joulua- Tulkoon Joulu live.amazing.
I just ran into your reactions of Angelina Jordan that I had seen already and I was already subscribed. Are you planning on reacting to her anymore? It would be great to see you react to her new live version of Million Miles. Ron from California
Listen to sandy patti’s version of o holy night it is nothing short of spectacular.
It's always funny to me when Floor asks the audience to sing along with her. It's like Michael Schumacher pointing to a formula one car at a race track and saying to a fan, - Just jump in to that car and follow me around the track at max speed, it will be fun...
Very nice:-)
Could you plz do The Purge by Within Temptation? Tnx!!!
A good way to think of it is, Raskasta Joulua is basically the Finnish equivalent of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They feature a lot of guest vocalists each year, and Floor happens to be a relatively frequent contributor.
They cancelled this years Raskasta joulua tour, but they have a live stream concert instead.
Also one of my favorite heavy Christmas tunes with whos who of finnish metal vocalists

Great funfact i'm not sure if you already know... As you like Sabaton and love Floor. Floor is married to Santon's drummer 😎
Juan Gabriel - Hasta que te conocí
If you want the very best version of 'O Holy Night', check out the tenor Jussi Björling singing in Swedish 'O helga natt'.
Yes, no ceiling .......just a FLOOR.....😁
Good choice, just my choice would be (and is) the 2019 version. The quality of her singing is slightly higher and the sound is a warmer and deeper. The whole setting is a bit warmer.

I agree. But any year is still special.
Ha, I'll be the odd man out...I prefer the 2017 Hartwell Arena version (from the show YLE put up on their website for a while).
@@madddog6790 I was looking for the Hartwell performance but couldn't find it quickly and so didn't reference it
@@williamklett6660 it's all good...I think the overall mix is better on the others, tbh, so I can see why people like them more.
I wish they had done some close-ups of the band members, I might have been able to figure out what band it was by their appearance. I have always had terrible vision and my ears are not working like they used to. I thought maybe I could tell by the guitars but Nope...
can't wait 35 minutes hhhhh
Best Zangers means Best Singers in english.
And Finnish isn't her native language, yet she did amazing job, especially as Finnish is a very hard language.
❤️🏴❤️
Please, check out the Finnish singer Jarkko Ahola, he has an incredible good voice
metalmusicians in finland grow like trees. and see floor so pregnant is just what real metal is about..she look amazing
Thanks for your support and beautiful reaction and I hope more videos reactions and gets more SUBSCRIBERS and viewers specially here in the PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭. I love this song Oh holy night. Can I request? Please react to MORISSETTE AMON her new own song "LOVE YOU STILL" and also her cover song "AIN'T BEEN DONE" by JESSIE J. I hope you like it. Merry Christmas 🎄⛄🎄 and GOD bless you always 🙏❤️🙏💙🙏❤️🙏.
She has indeed a divine voice and iron lungs. Even when pregnant. As she admits to smoke a cigar occasionally, I don't think she inhales, haha. Love that woman, just does her thing whatever people think of it. And that character is I think the secret of her posture on stage. She is who she is, and she convincingly radiates that out. No room for inferiority complexes here!
Reacciona a luciano pereyra pleese, dale una oportunidd, si te gusta luis miguel escucha este cantautor que es una version mas actual del pop romnce . Estadio velez 2018
This woman not exist...
She is from other planet....
Hey Christi! Always love your Floor and NW reactions, GLS was the reaction that made me subscribe 🤣
My fave singers have been doing a lot of festive live performance, I’d love to see your reaction to Leona Lewis doing Ave Maria! Classical as well! 😍 ruclips.net/video/zLdYhb5owNE/видео.html

Floor has a sparkle that even diamonds envy. First time I saw her pregnant. She’s beautiful.

I love your reactions! Here it is another great performance that I love with Floor as a guest singer (with Simone Simons again): ruclips.net/video/nhtOORYTGx8/видео.html
No head banging this time.;-)
And, lest we forget, Finnish is her third language.
You should do Jussi Björlings version "O helga natt"...why you might ask? Well Floor is really good, but Jussi..jeeez.
