ooooh, no....sorry. Chocolate and vanilla and all that, but Loreen's has so much more passion and energy and emotion.....to me she's just trying (and succeeding obviously) to sound impressive....not exude emotion.
I was thinking about the different takes. Shot in her singing/music studio at home. Not particular ‘photo or film studio’ situation with more video equipment to create the angles.
From a dutch interview from 2019: Floor Jansen has recently been mentioned as the ideal candidate for the Eurovision Song Contest of 2020. According to the singer, however, she simply does not have time for that next year. "I have not spoken out about it before, but I can say that I will not do it this year. I am way too busy with the new album and the Nightwish world tour, but I still think it is an honor that people would entrust it to me ", said Jansen. www.nu.nl/muziek/6020474/floor-jansen-over-eurovisie-songfestival-dit-jaar-nog-niet.html
I think the technical term you were looking for is mindf*#k with that “higher” part. She’s really a special talent ...elegant power is a great description. Side note: I’m glad you are doing better from your pain issues and able to toss out the pain meds... believe me I have seen multiple great people/friends lose everything due to opioid addiction from injuries, etc. also, so appreciate your willingness to discuss this to a bunch of strangers like me here on YT. Massive respect to you and hope your healing journey continues. Really enjoy your reactions and descriptions of how/why singers sound the way and do the things they do...also who doesn’t love a Scottish accent???
4:52 You had really good point about her changing the tone but not the note on "higher and higher and higher". I hadn't noticed that earlier but you're obviously correct there! Loved the technical term, too!
Great catch, Sam, about the dress on and of her shoulder. I saw it too, the first time I watched this video. None of the other reactors I’ve watched, noticed that. I think it took a few takes to record this video. But nonetheless, beautiful sang by gorgeous Floor! Can’t wait see and hear her with the rest of Nightwish live at the end of the month at their virtual concert! 💕🤘
From what I have seen on youtube, this performance by Floor seems to have grabbed the attention of the reaction community more than any of her previous masterpieces, including Oblivion (still my fave, so far). No surprise though, it is stunning. Hard to believe she had surgery only a couple of weeks ago, and here she is, looking better than ever, and sounding as good as ever. Whatever her recovery regimen is, I hope she keeps doing it!
Floor is incredible. No matter if you are a fan of heavy metal, hard rock, classical or else, she is admittedly one of the best female vocalists of this generation. Original song sang in Eurovision was ok-ish musically, but bombastic otherwise because of its great staging and choreo. This version is a totally different animal - super!!
Hello, I love your reactions/analysis. When she is about to nail a super note, apart from taking those positions that you mention, she always puts her hand to her head, maybe it is her way of activating the super power, thank you, she reacts to Trival live, new Nightwish video that went up as a gift to the community, bye
As someone who lives close to a house whose alarm keeps spontaneously going off about once or twice a week (without any robbery attempt), I feel you...
Is anyone out there doing anything like this? Having fun, putting out covers outside her home genre. Floor is amazing. I'm so happy for her. Longtime fan of Nightwish and the symphonic metal genre. So fun to see her gaining more and more recognition
I respect your opinion but I disagree. A few bits to look out for are at 1.15 on the original video the fan isn’t on, then at around 1.19 the fan is on after a cutaway, with no time for the fan to get going. Then at 1.36 the drum fill you hear doesn’t match what’s played, there’s a Tom hit missing. (You might have to slow the video down to see it properly, it’s the hit just before the symbols) I think that the band are playing along with whatever was sent in (or they sent a track for Floor to work from) but it’s definitely at least 2 video takes of Floor (fan and no fan) and the live band playing along with what was sent in. Either way, I’m not hating on it, I thought it was fantastic, just sharing my opinion on it 😊
@@SSTVocalCoach ok i have another opinion. in one year, we know it. 🤗 greetings from northern Germany. And Stay safe. Forget, she was in her home Studio in Sweden. That can be make the different.
Floor recorded this at her home because she couldn't travel due to surgery. She recorded several versions of the video and pieced different visual parts together. The show played the video and had the live band playing along with it.
It is probably true that the video is a compilation from several takes. I asume they Floor and Hannes have one high quality camera at home so it would require several takes to get the takes from different angels like the are shown in the video.
Definitely several takes to compose the video. There's a mix up with floor's arm in the part where she sings " higher and higher...." she raises her left arm in one shot. It cuts to the frontal shot where her right arm is raised..... Never the less she and Hannes did a good job . And the production team of Beste zangers made a great edit with the performance of the band and the other guests. The result is epic!
@@peterboon8316 Unfortunately, the audio was messed up at the end. The cymbals of the drums come and go from the mix in the end. The version on Spotify sounds much better even though it's supposedly the same recording.
Amazing voice and a great cover of Euphoria. Love it! But I love Loreen's original too. She might not have the best of voices but the way she portrayed the song, the emotions you can hear when she is singing it is just 👌 (and that sometimes trumphs a superior voice).
oh my gosh, yes! I don't know what you mean by not the best of voices (not arguing the point, as someone who isn't a singer I'd like to learn)...but like you said, the emotions you can hear when she is singing - to me, hearing the emotions vs not is what makes hers a much better performance, imo. Maybe technically this one is "better" but it just doesn't do anything for me.....(note: I'm one of those uncultured types that doesn't like opera - LOL!) ;-)
@@aekelly Yeah, not a big fan of opera either 😁 Maybe I worded it a bit wrong with regards to Loreen, I meant that she might not have the strongest of voices but only if compared to others out there. Singing, as well as dancing, has to "touch" or mesmerise me. That's what Loreen did with Euphoria.
Floor is recovering from an operation. So while she couldn’t come to Beste Zangers Beste Zangers came to her. So that’s why, as exception, it’s not live at Beste Zangers. Why not make an exception for Floor?
Have a Listen (and maybe reaction) 2 Floor 10 years ago, doing Puccini´s : O Mio Babbino Caro with her former band Revamp. Her rendition of Vilja, in Beste Zangers, have shown ya a bit of her operatic skills. And this 1, imho, does so even more : Floor Jansen (Revamp) : O Mio Babbino Caro, live @ MFVF 8
She’s done it forever. It keeps her cool, hair out of her face and helps her not ruin her makeup because of sweating on stage and then wiping her face.
Oh, you look so white, maybe a little too much light. Anyway, this performance is excellent. Floor looks and sounds like a true goddess (that she is, as we obviously know already). ⛄👍
I really love Floor, for me she one of the best out there! But there is another Dutch singer I want to tell you about. Her name is Anouk and around since 1997. One of my favorite performances was on a tv show where she was invited and people could ask her questions. After this session she sang two songs both great! Here are the links to them: ruclips.net/video/p_H8LLCVYuY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/UnPWDsjY-KQ/видео.html Hope you will make a reaction to Anouk aswell!
Rule #1 for a singer: don't let Floor Jansen cover your songs. Don't! Never! No! Great reaction. I must confess, I hate the eurovision song contest. In my eyes, this is a political farce. And I did not know the original knowingly (maybe I have already heard but forgotten. Because mainstream stuff) BUT: as soon as the name Floor Jansen and cover appears, all alarm bells ring with me! Good work. Keep it up.
Floor is one of the best Singers on this Planet. Euphoria is not the best Example for the endlesless things she can do with her voice. She can sing clearly, opera, also growl and a lot more stuff.
There's no air blowing, it's the Force surrounding her. She's a Jedi Master.
😂😂
Good one, lol
It's the Floor surrounding her.
May the Floor be with you!
Not the Force... the Floorce.
This comment thread is great!
Cover Floor is much cooler than the original, Floor is a goddess, everything she sings becomes divine.
ooooh, no....sorry. Chocolate and vanilla and all that, but Loreen's has so much more passion and energy and emotion.....to me she's just trying (and succeeding obviously) to sound impressive....not exude emotion.
It's a Eurovision special of Beste zangers. Floor just had a surgery so she filmed at home, couldn't travel.
Yeah, she really lost a couple of Stones...
@@Roller4x4 Inside joke
I was thinking about the different takes. Shot in her singing/music studio at home. Not particular ‘photo or film studio’ situation with more video equipment to create the angles.
I shared this song with everyone i know xd I liked the original, but when Floor gets her hands on a song it is a different story.
Shoutout Marcel Fisser Band. Great arrangement, great musicians and backing vox. 🔥🤘
Yes, a very, very good Dutch band
Some say there's no fan blowing. It's her hair doing that by itself
6 Ft. Valkyrie Goddess of Metal with again a great cover song.
Floor is divine! Also, the band and the backup singers are amazing and such a great fit with her.
She brought the EuFlooria big time.
Time for The Netherlands to send Floor to Eurovision :)
😁 i don't think thats fair for the other contenders they never stand a chance 😊
Would guarantee 12 points from Finland :)
Might as well give her the win, right off the bat. It's not even a competition.

Floor belongs to Sweden now, no take-backsies!
Yessss FLOOR IS ALLWAYS AMAZING 💕🥰
Yes! i agree the dress/shoulder bit distracted me too but all in all she delivered another stunning performance.
She is the Goddess and commands the wind...🤩
No need for a ventilator 😎😎
Side note; nice hair colour Sam.. like it
Euflooria! This song has always made me happy, but this, THIS? Wow.
The effort is on the training and dedication... That causes the effortless singing...
And I forgot to say, I'm a fan of your reactions...
Yes, your right . Amazing! Have a FloorGeous day ! 🌟
I think the technical term you were looking for is mindf*#k with that “higher” part. She’s really a special talent ...elegant power is a great description.

Elegant power ....yes, that's very well put. Great reaction. Tx.
This is probably my favourite cover by her. The most that she has touched me since some of her early songs in beste zangers. I love it!
4:52 You had really good point about her changing the tone but not the note on "higher and higher and higher". I hadn't noticed that earlier but you're obviously correct there! Loved the technical term, too!
Good one Sam! I was waiting for your reaction. Somehow you make sense... Thanks for this.

This is our Floortje from The Netherlands, Marijke Delwel , The Netherlands.
Is anyone out there doing anything like this? Having fun, putting out covers outside her home genre. Floor is amazing. I'm so happy for her. Longtime fan of Nightwish and the symphonic metal genre. So fun to see her gaining more and more recognition
That's the concept of Beste Zangers. Google Floor and "Phantom of the Opera". That is unbelievable!
I think the technical term you were looking for there was “she went metal” 😂
She is a miracle.....
Floortje does it again lol
The lady with the Afro is Tanya Kross, an opera singer and as such she can really dig this.
I’m a huge fan of Floor and Floor’s floor fan!
I am a Floor reaction nerd and I never saw your reactions. Gonna watch 8 Reactions now see ya~ :D
I mean, it is not a pre-recording. You see the Marcel Fisser Band played in the BZ Studio.
I respect your opinion but I disagree. A few bits to look out for are at 1.15 on the original video the fan isn’t on, then at around 1.19 the fan is on after a cutaway, with no time for the fan to get going.

Are you trying to hide the mic behind the plant? Haha! That´s great! :D
EuFlooria
I love to watch a vocal connoisseur enjoy a well executed song by Floor. Not bad for four weeks post gallbladder removal, eh?
I read it was only 2 weeks after the surgery
Enjoy!!

That version of Beste Zangers will be retransmissioned on Za 16/5, 20.28u; ‘Beste zangers - songfestival’ (Bron: Ster) #songfestival
Then the BIG question will be: will Floor be in it this time? Because she wasn't in the original TV broadcast.
@@Greyhound53200 can't say, normally rebroadcast means exactly that, something what was recorded before and broadcasted before, don't you think?
@@Paul_C Well, they would be righting a terrible wrong for one thing. It's not witchcraft. Just adding one video into another.
Your accent is great:)
Can't stop looking at your plant. That's a happy plant.
Please react to Molly Sandén husavik live on the Oscar 2021!
YES!
Floor is recovering from an operation. So while she couldn’t come to Beste Zangers Beste Zangers came to her. So that’s why, as exception, it’s not live at Beste Zangers.
Why not make an exception for Floor?
Floorless!
btw Really like the colour of your hair... softens you face and expression. nice!
It's not a fan. It's the air of her powerfully lungs bouncing off the walls! She is a force of nature 😊
You need to see and listen to phantrom of the opera from Floor Jansen and Henk Poort by the beste zangers
Have a Listen (and maybe reaction) 2 Floor 10 years ago, doing Puccini´s : O Mio Babbino Caro with her former band Revamp. Her rendition of Vilja, in Beste Zangers, have shown ya a bit of her operatic skills. And this 1, imho, does so even more :
Floor Jansen (Revamp) : O Mio Babbino Caro, live @ MFVF 8
Euuuufloooria! Floorever til the end of time!
❤❤❤
Flori is very much a popstar. I have noticed recently in the nightwish concerts she does have a fan blowing through her hair. Ha ha.
She and Simone Simons from Epica have had fans for nearly 2 decades.
She’s done it forever. It keeps her cool, hair out of her face and helps her not ruin her makeup because of sweating on stage and then wiping her face.
...and it looks cool.
@@TheMightyOdin It's her floor fan
That must be a huge metal fan.
Sorry couldn't resist
Oh, you look so white, maybe a little too much light. Anyway, this performance is excellent. Floor looks and sounds like a true goddess (that she is, as we obviously know already). ⛄👍
Oh I know, Scottish mornings are SO BRIGHT sometimes! This was with the curtains pulled!
@@SSTVocalCoach Haha, same here in Northern Finland in Spring. I hate it, because i'm a melancholic Autumn person. ⛄👍

Great reaction.

You need to rewind after you stop the videos …. You are missing a lot of beautiful transitions
This was live…..
Floor is one of the best Singers on this Planet. Euphoria is not the best Example for the endlesless things she can do with her voice. She can sing clearly, opera, also growl and a lot more stuff.
I prefer loreen's version, but this is amazing
amazing performance of Floor, super sound mixing, lousy video editing. It bothered me as well. Your reaction was great, as always
Iranian music 😭😭
I wonder if her husband did the drums....
No, this was the Beste Zangers Marcel Fisser band
Loreen is beter👍
I agree. This singer is obviously powerful and talented, but I don't feel any of the emotion I do when I listen to Loreen's. (ducks! LOL!)
The original with Loreen is so much better! She was singing it in Eurovision Song Contest in 2012. I really hope you can react to that one too.
OMG so I have to go look - but have you reacted to Loreen's Eurovision winning performance of this???? Waaaay better than ANYBODY else's!!!!
