Floor's covers kept us sane during lockdown.... And in this song you can see, hear and feel the music,... I absolutely adore this version ❤. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
Long time no see, good to seen you back😊❤❤❤nice job from Floor in covid time ❤❤she shing thise song many times fore here cild Freya ,she want ite sing fore her, very speciaal. I love ite more than the origineel song
No. Joost has had nothing to do with her solo album. By her own admission, the songs they'd written with Joost were not mainstream enough, so she ditched whatever collaboration they had in favour of Gordon Groothedde, a pop producer.
So glad you have covered the two best female rock / metal queens of all time. Floor Jansen and Ann Wilson. And yes I had the utmost privilege to go watch Floor and Nightwish live in Gelsenkirchen two weeks ago. Its really so much more than you wished for 🥰🥰🥰
Anytime Floor sings, I want to be listening, and I don't care what it is. She sang a few lullabies for us that she sings to her daughter Freja, and I was in tears. I am a rough tough macho guy, but she cuts straight through to the heart.
🤩👌💥💯🎼 Before even starting to check out your reactions I secretly was in the cross roads will Andrei shed a tear or not(like on acoustic "How's the Heart) 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
I think it's fair to say it took Heart to put this song on the radar - it certainly was barely making it prior. We'd never have Floor's cover without Heart's version.
This is a Masterpiece! As a 80's teen this is like "Manna" from Heaven. I know the original is from l-10 1983, but the Heart's cover was a huge hit. Our Floor did there at her come studio a intelligently subdued version with only backing of the grand piano provided her long time friend and collaborator, SIR Joost vsn den Broek (After Forever, Ayreon). Excellent stuff! ⛄👍
All ways Chills whit Floor💘.. especially whit people who really appreciate Floor👍.. like U2.. You are real👌 .. Thanks 🤘.. Greetings from Amsterdam ..,✌
Correct. This exact version was recorded for the "Metallic Emotions" CD (2007). A compilation of ballads from different metal bands. She also did a full metal cover of "Alone" with Christmas Metal Symphony in 2013, which I like the most.
The Floor effect describes it pretty well in my opinion. Floor simply has the gift of making his own personal story out of other people's songs and telling them to people in a credible way.
Thank you for respecting the rules (which again, I don't make), and doing this cover! 😉 Floor and Ann are both all-time great singers, but I much prefer this arrangement, with the great Joost van den Broek (After Forever, Ayreon, etc.) on piano. It's much more intimate and less poppy. 🤟
Lovely reaction guys there's one thing speaking or singing in another language that isn't your first language but being able to express emotions through that language isn't always easy. Hey love your dog what's it's name?.
Floor is absolutely incredible in anything she sings but I still prefer Heart. Ann Wilson can't be beaten, every thing she sing is absolutely top notch. I first was introduced to Floor with Nightwish and what a beautiful job she did with them. She is amazing. But I usually always prefer the original singers. Ann and Nancy Wilson are a power rock and roll duo.
As a fan - just like you 2 - a small advice: keep the video rolling till the very end! Just 2 seconds more and you'd have seen Floor give a resigned nod. Coming out of the singing mode (embedded in the emotion and the storytelling) she seems to think: "That must be it, this should do." To herself, her husband filming an do us! Endearing to me... ❤
Apart from this performance that I love, I never understood why people love the I-ten cover by heart, but have to admit that I only have seen the official clip and I’m not American. In that clip the ladies were singing rather emotionless and it seemed they were in a kind of hurry. And then also one of the two starting a 😢mating ritual with the guitar player that looked like a mix between Gary Glitter and Foghorn Leghorn🤡
This song was not written by Heart, The Heart vision is also a cover so people who say they like the original better may not know this, To be honest the original by I-ten is not very good nor popular. Heart is the group that brought this song out of the shadows. I still prefer Hearts version as I grew up on this one but you cannot deny that Floor also made this song her own.
She has a great voice, and I am a fan of her work with Nightwish. However, I really feel that her rendition of this song pales in comparison with Heart’s version. First and foremost, it lacks Nancy’s backing vocals. ✌🏼😎
Don't get me wrong - I think that Floor is the best, and certainly the most versatile female vocalist on the planet. But the solo stuff she has released in the last couple of years leaves me cold, I just don't think the songs are that great, maybe she's not as great a songwriter as she is a singer. I understand why she's doing it, she is obviously wants greater fame and fortune, but she has to find better material if she wants to be a successful pop singer. Hopefully the upcoming Nightwish album can restore her to at least my faith in her as a metal singer - she ought to get back to that.
Floor is perfectly capable of writing good songs when she wants to. She wrote most of the songs in After Forever and all the songs in ReVamp (the lyrics and vocal lines, that is, although she did write some music too). She was 22 when she wrote what I consider her best work to date: ruclips.net/video/dKWCoz-CFMQ/видео.html The main problem with her solo project is that it's not hers. The guy behind it is Gordon Groothedde, and that's why it sounds like another generic product of the music industry. I expect pretty much nothing from the upcoming NW album. Seriously, what kind of singing can we expect from a woman 8 months into her pregnancy? The fact that they didn't bother to change the schedule because of such a "minor" thing shows how little they care. The NW hiatus could give her time for some more projects but I highly doubt at this point that she would use it to make something actually worthy of her talent. The two things I'd like her to do would be a classical album and an After Forever reunion with a proper DVD recording. But I'm afraid it's but a Fever Dream...
Really? Tommy's covers are so ProTooled, his real voice is barely recognizable there. Same goes for the instruments: they sound more like effects than real ones. THIS is the best version: ruclips.net/video/6bwZ2zWVZd4/видео.html
One of my favorite Love Ballads from the 80's. Brings me to tears every time 🤘
Thanks great reaction !!
Floor's covers kept us sane during lockdown....
And in this song you can see, hear and feel the music,... I absolutely adore this version ❤.
NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
And give credit to Joost van den Broek on the piano - beautiful.
Definitely!
I heartily concur!
He is SIR Joost van den Broek.
Joost for president
@@Klojum Sir for a reason.
The original of this song was from 1983 by the band i-Ten. Heart covered it in 1987 and turned it into a power ballad.
How come so few people know this?
@@jonno55 I did know that. Have said it on more than one reaction video. Just wanted to do it here also, but I did see it is already been said. 👍
And Floor is sitting, totally relaxed - and then THIS voice!!! 🤩
Long time no see, good to seen you back😊❤❤❤nice job from Floor in covid time ❤❤she shing thise song many times fore here cild Freya ,she want ite sing fore her, very speciaal. I love ite more than the origineel song
Joost be killing it on the keys! He and Floor go way back and he has played a huge role in the solo album.
No. Joost has had nothing to do with her solo album. By her own admission, the songs they'd written with Joost were not mainstream enough, so she ditched whatever collaboration they had in favour of Gordon Groothedde, a pop producer.
Like your Alexander the Great profile picture, from a mosaic in Pompei, depicting a battle with DariusIII
Floor has an amazing ability to convey emotion with her singing.
So glad you have covered the two best female rock / metal queens of all time. Floor Jansen and Ann Wilson. And yes I had the utmost privilege to go watch Floor and Nightwish live in Gelsenkirchen two weeks ago. Its really so much more than you wished for 🥰🥰🥰

She has a beautiful and strong voice noticed by the distance from the mic, her voice is so emotional.
🤩👌💥💯🎼
Before even starting to check out your reactions I secretly was in the cross roads will Andrei shed a tear or not(like on acoustic "How's the Heart)
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Floor always makes a song her OWN, like when she covered Lady Gaga's "Shallow" on the Beste Zangers show!
I think it's fair to say it took Heart to put this song on the radar - it certainly was barely making it prior. We'd never have Floor's cover without Heart's version.
Great piano accompaniment by Joost van den Broek
Its just a great song covered by Heart and Floor. By all accounts I understand Ann loved Floor's cover.
This is a Masterpiece! As a 80's teen this is like "Manna" from Heaven. I know the original is from l-10 1983, but the Heart's cover was a huge hit.

If you haven't fallen in love with Floor's voice already, this recording certainly will.
All ways Chills whit Floor💘.. especially whit people who really appreciate Floor👍.. like U2.. You are real👌 .. Thanks 🤘.. Greetings from Amsterdam ..,✌
That was so pretty she had to sing Nancy part too and she's sitting down one word WOW need more floor
When Ann Wilson heard it, she liked it.
She has the man behind the camera and we all love them 😉🤘! Done during lock down. Thanks for your reaction.
I grew up listening to Heart, and I love Heart, but Floor just elevates this song even higher.
👍great reaction again, if you want another floor classic cover, try “agape”
Great reaction guys🤘🤘
you have become my favorite reaction channel... thank you
FYI, Floor sang Alone when she was with After Forever also. I think they first did this song in 2007. Luv you guys!!!
Correct. This exact version was recorded for the "Metallic Emotions" CD (2007). A compilation of ballads from different metal bands.
She also did a full metal cover of "Alone" with Christmas Metal Symphony in 2013, which I like the most.
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 Thank you, I will check that out.
One word. Floor!❣
"I'll howl and roar 'cause I'm not afraid anymore!" Floors inner wolf/dog coming out.
The Floor effect describes it pretty well in my opinion.
Floor simply has the gift of making his own personal story out of other people's songs and telling them to people in a credible way.
Thank you for respecting the rules (which again, I don't make), and doing this cover! 😉
Floor and Ann are both all-time great singers, but I much prefer this arrangement, with the great Joost van den Broek (After Forever, Ayreon, etc.) on piano. It's much more intimate and less poppy. 🤟
One of the best Thankyou for sharing your reaction xx
You don't need to choose. Like them both.
You must listend on Tommy Johanssons cover of this song to that is amazing
You are as enthusiastic as I am listing to Floor. Great reaction as always. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Doing that from a sitting position is not easy
🙌🔥❤️
Singing like this on a chair, it's the TOP ❤
Nice to see you again with "my" music!!!
Did you watch Crewish? The nightwish crew???
the after forever cover to the same song is even better
I love the version from Nightwish cruise. ❤
❤
makes my tear up everytime. 100% better than original , imo
Me too
Both versions are top drawer. I love the original and Floor’s version.
Hearts version was a Cover of the original to !!!!! the original is by i-Ten Not by Heart!! Most people haven't even heard the version by I-Ten.
What can I say. Phhhhhhhhhhhhh, Uf. Thank you
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done
Lovely reaction guys there's one thing speaking or singing in another language that isn't your first language but being able to express emotions through that language isn't always easy. Hey love your dog what's it's name?.
Arnold 🐶😊
thanks
Good one. How about some more covers Euphoria on Beste Zangers , Oblivion, Adagio etc.
Floor is absolutely incredible in anything she sings but I still prefer Heart. Ann Wilson can't be beaten, every thing she sing is absolutely top notch.

Two different style. I couldn't choose a favorite between the two.
Anne is the best but Floor comes brilliantly close and that's almost impossible. So well done Floortje :)
It's interesting how she took 2 "belting" songs, Shallow and Alone, and did them at intimate level, even though we know what she can do.
you have reacted on alone by I-Ten, 'cause, they are the original
Apart from this performance that I love, I never understood why people love the I-ten cover by heart, but have to admit that I only have seen the official clip and I’m not American. In that clip the ladies were singing rather emotionless and it seemed they were in a kind of hurry. And then also one of the two starting a 😢mating ritual with the guitar player that looked like a mix between Gary Glitter and Foghorn Leghorn🤡
Yep. I too found the official clip less than impressive.
I like Floor's full metal version (2013) the most.
This song was not written by Heart, The Heart vision is also a cover so people who say they like the original better may not know this, To be honest the original by I-ten is not very good nor popular. Heart is the group that brought this song out of the shadows. I still prefer Hearts version as I grew up on this one but you cannot deny that Floor also made this song her own.
🇳🇱💕🎤🎼
As Floor is my Valkyrie Queen and Tommy Johansson is my King you must listen my new princess - Putri Ariani - you will be in shock🤗
ya toca JUAN GABRIEL?????
She has a great voice, and I am a fan of her work with Nightwish. However, I really feel that her rendition of this song pales in comparison with Heart’s version. First and foremost, it lacks Nancy’s backing vocals. ✌🏼😎
Great cover but she is not on Ann Wilson level, my opinion

Not bad but certainly no Ann Wilson
Good cover, but not as good as Tommy Johansson from Sabaton's version of this song.
Really? Tommy's covers are so ProTooled, his real voice is barely recognizable there. Same goes for the instruments: they sound more like effects than real ones.
THIS is the best version: ruclips.net/video/6bwZ2zWVZd4/видео.html
