Hi Charlie. I was on Twitch when you reacted to this but it was a joy to watch it again. I can recommend everybody that is interested in in-depth analyses of great music, is an (aspiring) singer and wants to improve or is just interested in joining a great community to join the Twitch channel. You won't regret it, I promise.
It's not actually Nightwish, but a Finnish metal Christmas tour. Floor was one of the many singers that performed here, it's basically a metal all stars supergroup performing Christmas songs. I like to assume it started as a drunken joke on some backstage and ended up being a massively popular yearly tour. True or not, it's been going on for over 10 years and something like 7 albums. Thanks for another fantastic reaction. Super informative, you manage to explain things so clearly that even me, who can't sing or don't know much about it, can sort of understand what's going on. Happy Christmas!
Floor has lived in Finland. She understands and speaks Finnish for some. And her bandmates are mostly Finnish, but they are quite fluent in English, l think. But there she sings it mostly phonetically as she do with some others of her 8 singing languages (to date). And the "Holy Moly" is so high note yoodling, that we don't hear the words anyway 😅). This performane is still most impressive one. ⛄🎅👍
@@CharlieCalottaReacts Hey Charlie. Unrelated question to this video, but here goes. Your reaction to Leprous - Slave is blocked/muted on your twitch VOD, any chance it will make it youtube?
@@huehue3687 it is scheduled to come out soon :) I have a huge list and just trying to trickle them out instead of completely flooding the place. But yes, it is not blocked.
She is singing in finnish... oh man. We are very little weird dark country with even more weird and hard but oddly powerful language. I just LOVE when someone so great does the work to learn our odd but truly wonderful language. Kind of makes me (finnish is the language I think with) feel seen. Thank you Floor ❤️
I think we need to promote the Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) Festival, more often. There are some amazing performances during those shows. Granted, they are in Finnish, but still. haha.
For Floor singing in another language in which she had little grounding - Beste Zangers 2019, the Rolf Sanchez episode. Floor, then, had almost zero Spanish. Que Se Siente is the track. She learned it phonetically, but, from the performance, you'd not know
Ok, so, I've been pregnant, and I'm not as tall as Floor by a landslide (1m60) and also had a big baby in the belly, so even thinking about breathing somewhat correctly was a dream at that point. Even more so because baby liked to move a lot and hit my thoracic cage (I still remember how much that hurt) and EVERYTHING hurt. I am in awe of a heavily pregnant Floor doing anything of this caliber, honestly. Hard to believe the quality of sound and even the sustained notes when your lungs are compressed (as are most of your organs) and being able to stand for more than 5min when your pelvic bone and hips are all shifting and stuff. I suppose that being fit helps on some level, but still: mad respect. It's also the same with Simone during the Retrospect show (sorry, going on a rant here). She was in the first trimester. The first trimester is as hard as the third, but for different reasons. Your body is litterally creating life from two tiny cells and sustaining it, changing your whole body to accept it and stuff. The tiredness, the nausea and shortness of breath is horrible (also: boobies hurt like hell for the first one, did not know that, but yeah, aouch). Seeing people commenting asking why everyone is so impressed blablabla always annoys me. It should be aknowledged how HARD it is to perform to that level being pregnant. Does not matter how far along you are, it's HARD, period. (Also makes me wonder if people even know what creating life entails, physically? Because they seem to think it's easy when it's not, and let's not even talk about all the dangers associated with being preggers - a lot of them you don't know about until you are in the situation too, it's crazy)
BTW, check out her singing of "Que Se Siente" in Spanish on Beste Zangers. She doesn't speak Spanish and obviously learned the song phonetically, but she was able to convey the emotional content and meaning nevertheless.
I love how she walked an extra mile to connect with the audience and sang and also spoke a bit in Finnish. The song has English words and the audience certainly knows English, but making extra effort for people you sing to ups the ante. Also, the English words certainly don't refer to Finnish historical events. With IPA it's mostly about being able to pronounce the phonetics in the language, but she's Dutch, sings mainly in English, is married to a Swedish person and travels around the globe with a Finnish band, so she certainly has wider catalogue on linguistic and phonetic understanding than your average American.
Thanks for clearing up the jaw wiggle thing, for me, it's had me a bit puzzled. I might point out that Tarja has said that she can no longer sing live opera, because she has spent way too many years with a microphone, that she'd have to go through a rigorous retraining process(unspoken: I don't want to). I"ve seen a live video of Floor without a mic with a string quartet, no problem, but it's not something that she normally does(at least in a public way).
Singing requires us to find release and body space in the weirdest places. That's maybe why she is leaning forward to let gravity create more space in the back of her thoracic cavity where the lungs take up the most space. Super smart singing.
Looking at and listening to your comments proves to be an educational experience (repeatedly!) so today, again, I learned something from you about Floor (and singing). Thanks Charlie, worth my subscription every time I listen!
You have so much Nightwish songs to discover, both with Floor and with Tarja. Can't wait! I wanted to suggest a bunch songs but let's keep it simple. The Poet and the Pendulum, Ghost River, The Greatest Show on Earth, Shoemaker, + The Phantom of the Opera with Tarja.
Me#2 special that one at Epica’s ‘Retrospect’ 10th anniversary concert supported by a 70 pieces orchestra and choir. ruclips.net/video/QqdvFPBGN0c/видео.html The funny coincidence with the song you just heard is that now Simone was pregnant. (Although less months than Floor was)
He can do triple reaction when Marko has done , Ave Maria , with Tarja Turunen and Elize Ryd (Amaranthe vocalist) they all have different style and voice .
About the jaw wiggle... I'm not a vocal coach, just an amateur singer. But when I'm completely relaxed, I always produce a straight tone. No vibrato at all. I have to move the tone up and down consciously to get vibrato. Disadvantage is that it takes effort, and makes it harder to produce vibrato on gradually shifting vowels like the i in "find", which kinda moves from "uh" to "ee". Advantage is that I have complete control over vibrato, even to the point of getting it in sync with the rhythm of a song. And that producing a straight choirboy-like tone takes no effort at all, while a lot of singers find that hard to do (well past the boy age, I'm 43). Now to get to the point: when I need to produce a strong vibrato, e.g. large tone difference on a loud voice, like Floor did here, my jaw wiggles as well. It's just muscle use as Charlie Calotta says. When you use those connected muscles strongly, it's practically impossible to keep the jaw still. You might even say that allowing a bit of jiggle is a form of relaxation, and keeping it still at all costs is an extra effort. So if it's relaxation we're after, just let it wiggle a bit if that's what it does.
"Jouluyö" is a bit hard to pronounce.. Floor said she can almost manage it when singing but that it was still challenging to try to say it :) Some languages have impossible looking clusters of consonants .. Finnish has words that are all vowels and I guess that can be tough too.
Thank you so much for this reaction. Since I'm not awake when you're online, I have to settle for RUclips, so please continue posting stuff here. I like learning stuff, even if I'm hopeless as a singer, because it makes me appreciate and understand more of what I hear from Floor. I can say that the only bad thing about being a Nightwish fan, is that you tend to note how bad almost everything else is in comparison. My playlist looks like it's copied directly from the setlists of the four big Nightwish concerts...
I'll give you the link of her 2019 version. It has an intro, where she explains what she encountered when singing in Finish. She is talking there about stuff you mention in this reaction. She talks about the difficult Finnish words and vowls, and how she learned and managed to sing them correctly. She did quite some struggling and hard work on this, she says (starts at 0.48min.) When listening to the 2019 version, i think you as a vocal expert can also hear the difference between pregnant- and not pregnant. Good reaction, very interesting Charlie : ruclips.net/video/6asFfKqE2vg/видео.html&ab_channel=NightwishArena
I was in that Oulu consert few rows from the stage, she is such a lovely person. And her voice resonates in the listeners body, you can really feel her singing. I cant explain it better.
About the jaw wobble, it's interesting that with Floor, sometimes it's there and sometimes it isn't. I wonder if she is using the wobble, consciously or unconsciously, as a means of adding emotional content or for thickening her vibrato. Before hitting the "COMMENT" button, I checked out Floor's performance of "Stargazers" at Tampere where she indulges in a more operatic performance for the Finnish audience, as a throwback to the Tarja days. Of course the camera work is of no help, but watching carefully as best as the video allows, Floor is using a chin wobble on some sustained notes and not on others. Even in this performance, we can see that the jaw wobble is only there some of the time. That would be an interesting question to ask her on her "Fan Friday" videos.
She can create a richer tone and add vibrato with the wobble. It does take away some of her natural resonance though. When she makes vibrato without the wobble, you get more acoustic resonance that travels better without a microphone. Notice when she does it whether or not she has a microphone.
Have to say that I have not only enjoyed your reaction/analysis' but also learned a bunch about singing. Thanks for the both!😀 As we are closing in on the holidays and you already did at least one song in finnish, here's another one: Jarkko Ahola - Sylvian Joululaulu. Don't be fooled by the orchestra accompanying him, he's a metal singer first(which I am certain that you'll pick up)and everything else after that. ruclips.net/video/ECis41K5VOQ/видео.html
8: English, Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, Finnish, Swedish and Latin. She speaks 3 languages fluently: English, Swedish and Dutch. She also speaks some Finnish, but she never "Finished learning Finnish".

I remember when my late wife was pregnant so long ago. She felt fat and ugly and I could have wept looking at her because I had never seen anyone so beautiful.
If you look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Finnish you'll see that Finnish is pronounced pretty much the way it's written. Also, fonetic alphabets are very close to Finnish alphabets or vice versa. We don't have any silent letters or too many exceptions (we have 1: "ng"). W is there to mainly write old family/last names (pronounced like the normal V) and Å/å is to accomodate our history (and their names) with our Swedish overlords for 700 years before being under the Russian rule for a century or so. We didn't like our eastern neighbors so we didn't take any cyrillic letters from them. ;) Ou houlii nait...
To quote my currently pregnant vocal teacher: The accidental pee factor is something she wasn't expecting. When she watched this performance, she noted that floor changes techniques halfway through and generates more power in her voice , probably because she realized she wasn't going to pee if she pushed this time.lol Things us guys never have to think about.lol
One Image i get from these videos of this particular concert IS.. Other babies are kicking in their mothers bellies.. But I bet Freya was windmilling and showing horns 😜🥰😍💪
One Question, friend. What do a Opera Singer, without a mic, Singing again a Metal Band..i mean they louder than a Orchestra hihi 🥰🎅 i have a another Question, what is the different between Italian Opera (Verdi) to German(Wagner). That intressent me very much..🤔🤗
It is strange what my mind latches onto sometimes....this time its that she is wearing comfortable shoes. Of course because she is pregnant, but it is just what my mind latched onto lol
If you ever need a quick "correct pronounciation" on something Finnish google translate is quite handy. It's absolutely rubbish for actually *translating* any Finnish, but setting the language to Finnish the robovoice reads it quite correctly.
Nice B B S, thanks. I don't care if her jaw wiggles like jell-o, I care about the sounds that come out. This was probably Xmas 2016, her daughter Freja was born March 2017. Good info about singing while pregnant ( sharing space ). I know Simone of with child sing a duet with Floor and sounded great. Humans...Quite the adaptable beings.
Outside of Queen Floor and the obvious Dimash there is one other "unknown" voice you have to hear, and this is the perfect opportunity to suggest her: please react to Kim Sohyang's stellar version of this same song: ruclips.net/video/YwgF3Gylu-0/видео.html She is a whole rabbot hole unto herself to rival Floor
Showing the climax of the song in the first 10 seconds of your video reaction is perhaps not the smartest move. Just like with movie trailers, once you've seen the trailer you have already seen the movie for 75-80%. Just my $0.02 .
I figured that if you're watching a reaction video you're listening for insight, no? Maybe I'm wrong to assume people have hears the whole song before. My YT stats are showing that most people are watching passed that point haha

When Floor first joined Nightwish she lived in Finland for a year and learned quite a lot of Finnish.

I read that when you sing certain notes you must relax your jaw, and when it’s really relaxed the muscles cannot hold it up and it starts to wobble.
@@k.l.7788 not necessarily though. Like if you relax your jaw without singing, does it wobble? If not, you should be able to sing without wobble too

I don't think this is Nightwish - Floor but with different musicians there.
One Question, friend. What do a Opera Singer, without a mic, Singing again a Metal Band..i mean they louder than a Orchestra hihi 🥰🎅 i have a another Question, what is the different between Italian Opera (Verdi) to German(Wagner). That intressent me very much..🤔🤗
That is a BIG topic, Ralf. I can't truly explain it in a youtube comment. Please come to the twitch stream and I'm happy to talk it through there!

Now think who have the best spot in this event ? Who ?

It is strange what my mind latches onto sometimes....this time its that she is wearing comfortable shoes. Of course because she is pregnant, but it is just what my mind latched onto lol
When she signed up for this gig, she wondered whether she would need to wear a Santa costume. Obviously she did not.
If you ever need a quick "correct pronounciation" on something Finnish google translate is quite handy. It's absolutely rubbish for actually *translating* any Finnish, but setting the language to Finnish the robovoice reads it quite correctly.
Ok, it is obviously Floor singing. But the band is definetley not Nightwish.
It is from "Heavy Christmas" -tour in Finland i.e. a tour where heavy metal musicians play traditional Christmas songs.
Nice B B S, thanks. I don't care if her jaw wiggles like jell-o, I care about the sounds that come out. This was probably Xmas 2016, her daughter Freja was born March 2017. Good info about singing while pregnant ( sharing space ). I know Simone of with child sing a duet with Floor and sounded great. Humans...Quite the adaptable beings.
I agree! Very impressive vocals. Glad you know what you like about singers!
I personally don’t like too much when she sings like this... but I’ll listen to her anyway 😂
Hey, I respect that. This channel is all about directing how singing works. Like it? Hate it? If you're here, you'll figure out what "it" actually is!
Outside of Queen Floor and the obvious Dimash there is one other "unknown" voice you have to hear, and this is the perfect opportunity to suggest her: please react to Kim Sohyang's stellar version of this same song: ruclips.net/video/YwgF3Gylu-0/видео.html
She is a whole rabbot hole unto herself to rival Floor
Singing in Finnish while pregnant, bring it...
Wearing heels, but not high and not pointed. No time to risk tripping.
Fine analysis, by the way.
Floor calls herself a vocal technique nerd.
Floor?
Showing the climax of the song in the first 10 seconds of your video reaction is perhaps not the smartest move.
Just like with movie trailers, once you've seen the trailer you have already seen the movie for 75-80%. Just my $0.02 .
I figured that if you're watching a reaction video you're listening for insight, no? Maybe I'm wrong to assume people have hears the whole song before. My YT stats are showing that most people are watching passed that point haha
You can not keep Floor from a podium.
Floor sings in Finnish while in heels and pregnant...ok then
