Before I get slayed on this, hahaha, it looks like Floor still IS their current lead singer (I'm not sure why I thought she wasn't, maybe cuz I heard she was doing solo stuff?) 😊 Sorry "YAWNsen" not JANsen (such an American, sheesh) hahaha Lastly, “I diverge” 😂🤣😂 wtf? “I digress…” Most mistakes in a video so far…but I’m working through a cold 😷, have mercy on me 😟 WELCOME ALL FANS OF FLOOR AND NIGHTWISH! 🤘
I was going to ask who the tattooed, windmilling imposter that I saw fronting Nightwish this week was 😂 Kidding, of course. You will get plenty of requests for songs from Wacken which are great, but I think you will really appreciate some of the vocal lines in addition to the music from their newest album Human Nature. Shoemaker, Pan, and Music are a few to start. If you want to see a much grittier version of Floor and Nightwish from newer material, Weak Fantasy Live from Tampere or Yours is an Empty Hope Live from Wembley or Mexico City are good options.
You already understand that Floor has a unique talent, I would dare say it is a unique talent in a generation. As you can imagine, behind this talent are already over 2 decades of training and performance at the highest level of the symphonic metal genre. 7 Dutch singers from various musical genres were invited to this TV show in the Netherlands. For Floor, it was an opportunity to show to a wider audience that metal can be accessible, and that it deserves its place in the mainstream media, given that until now it was considered underground in the Netherlands. As an unexpected effect of this TV show, Floor did a series of solo concerts in the Netherlands in early 2020, with a compilation of songs from her entire career (After Forever, Revamp, Northward, Nightwish, Beste Zangers), and very recently released her first solo song, called "Fire". I hope you will continue this journey of discovery. I promise you won't regret it.
@@StrateleStudios As a Jazz musician and music snob who never got the whole symphonic metal vibe (always sounded like cheese to me) after listening to Nightwish... I get it now. Floor is a big part of it... but the complicated and gorgeous compositions, the layering, and the impeccable musicianship of Nightwish as a whole (even to a Jazz snob maniac like me) is undeniable. If you do go down this rabbit hole... I implore you to watch the Wacken Live 2013 versions of any Nightwish songs suggested, if it was on their set list that night. That concert, in my humble opinion, is Nightwish at their peak. Its one of those concerts where everyone and everything, including the crew, the lighting team, the pyro guy, the engineers, and even the crowd, were firing on all cylinders. Hell, even the camera work recording the performance is stellar. It's just a complete concert experience and, again imo, is the greatest example of anything Symphonic Metal I've ever seen. Nothing even comes close.
This was one of Floor's many stunning performances from the Dutch show Beste Zangers. (Please review them all!) Even long time fans of Floor were shocked by her jaw-dropping versatility. By the way, this isn't a competition -- all the people sitting on the couches are amazing artist (one is the host). Each week they honor one of the artist by singing songs that are important to them. That season was absolutely astounding.
@@StrateleStudios My opinion better than Lady Gaga. From the same show check out Phantom of the Opera with Floor and Henk Poort who was the original Dutch Phantom (1000+ performances). If you want to check out Nightwish then try Romanticide from Wacken Metal festival 2013 or Dead Boys Poem from Buenos Aires 2018.

The Beste zangers is a Dutch show where singers sing songs of others to each other. You should she more Nightwish live at Wacken...or Wembley. But first look at Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort from the same show "Beste Zangers" it will blow your mind....
She is not only the best singer I have ever seen but she is also the best performer. I had the privilege to see her with Nightwish a couple of days ago and you could tell she made a personal connection with everybody in that audience. They went two hours and she did not miss one note and she was as strong at the end as she was at the start. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen and you can tell how genuine she is and how much she loves to sing. Just seeing her in video cannot prepare you for how incredible she is live.
im with steve the more you go down this rabbit hole you will find that Floor is the best female vocalist on the planet.. maybe my life time im 52...thx for the react. ROCK ON!
"beste zangers" [best singers] is a compatition between know singers in holland. They sing each others songs. Floor sang a song for Emma Heesters, a youtube singer that does covers. (blonde in the red dress). Realy nice to watch , they are all good singers in there own right. But the thing is , now they need to go out of there comfert zone and sing :)
Classical training prepares singers for so much versatility through proper technique. Floor of course is incredibly naturally gifted but she also put the work in to become the jaw dropping performer that she is.
My point was you can have an abundance of training but if you don’t have the natural ability you can only get so far. Not the point that ALL you need is natural ability without training. I thought that was inferred but maybe I needed to mention it as well.
When I first saw her live with Nightwish at Wacken 2013, I instantly fell in love with her, like almost every guy in the crowd. The girls just all wanted to be like her. She took us all by storm. When you get to the opener of the Wacken 2013 show "Dark Chest Of Wonders", you can see it in the eyes of the people in the crowd. Most hadn't seen her with Nightwish, but there were rumours spread how good their South American Tour went in Fall/Winter 2012. So the expectations were high. But she just blew us all away. Greets from Germany!
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora. Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6) She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. Floor Jansen,....the most complete singer , Ever !!! You, my good sir, haven't seen nothing yet😉.
See You Are Like The Rest of Us People ! Not Just a Nightwish Fan ! But We Also Are Massive Fans Of Floor ! She is Brilliant & Can Sing Any Style of Song ! Epic Singer ! Nightwish Disciple From Australia 🇦🇺🏄♂️😝
When she was rehearsing this for the show it was the band that suggested to keep it small for greater impact. In the last episode she did the duet version with Tim Akkerman
She sings O Mio Babbino Caro and from the gamecube game Final Fantasy Chronicals, Sound of the Wind too. In the first episode she sings a aria in German
If u want to see ridiculously complex yet mind-blowingly brilliant floors singing, then have a look at How's the Heart , acoustic version is .. well, you will see ...... enjoy
I'm pretty confident that most those that listen to her don't understand the incredible God like gift this woman has. She covers all the dynamics and even dynamics unknown to theory. Really a walking phenomenon. But then you don't have to have a julliard education to understand what sounds over the top. It's a privilege , even for this planets greatest vocalist to hear her.
Floor is just an exceptional blessed talent ... she will gif you tears chills shiver smiles... so just enjoy and be a fan ... Whit her band Nightwish its a joy ..never boring never the same ... greetings from 🤟✌Amsterdam
This is from Beste zangers (Best Singers), where every season, they have 6 singers and every episode it's about another singer, how they got started, what inspired them to sing and al that.
Floor is a super sensitive empath and acts as a conduit to take the emotions in the words and implants them into ur soul. She is simply the best !!! in my opinion goat. She makes me cry even if ive heard a performance 100 times. She is a gift from god .
There's an emotional quality that certain singers seem to be able to infuse into the lyrics, combined with their technical abilities, their natural tones, and their vocal range. We've all heard singers perform songs that they have no business doing, and then there's other who can sing anything. She's truly a rare talent. You should check out the other performances from the show. No one had heard of her before she appeared on the show, but they certainly knew her afterward.
De beste zangers (Dutch for best singers) is a show were Dutch artists (some with already a big career, and other less famous) sing for each other (and us of course) in every episode one of the artists stands in the spotlight, and the other artists sing a song that's special for him or her (something it's their original song or from an artist that was inspiring for them) what makes it so great that there is no competition element, so the performing artists are more relaxed to get out of their comfort zone and trying new (and surprising) things
I totally agree with you. I sang in high school and was fairly good at it, but she has a talent that you can't learn. Similarly to singers like Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, etc. etc. etc. I'm a fan for sure.
It’s not only her impeccable technique that makes her such a great performer.. She’s also an incredible empath, who know what the song she is singing embodies.. She is sooo in touch with the emotions that have been poured into the lyrics by the writer and is able to convey those emotions in a way very few people have been or are able to do.. I can not remember that in my 45 yrs I’ve come across any other singer that actually could move me to tears.. Floor is love, Floor is life, Floor is unique.. ps: if you want to see some more of Floor solo, watch her cover of Alone (by Heart)..
That’s why I was so emotionally affected by this. It’s the way she uses her tools to evoke emotion. Regarding the song “Alone” what a masterpiece for Floor to cover! I gotta see that!
Floor was with After Forever when Wishmaster came out. Other groups where she's the lead were Revamp and Northward. She did the 1st song of the show (before they had a clue) Vilja Lied.
Great analysis. New follower here. Just saw Nightwish on May 8 and 10. Absolutely incredible concerts. The band was in top form and Floor was at the top of her game.
The new season Beste zangers just started and is pretty impressive also. Check them out! They do songs of the main guest or songs that have a special meaning to them. And there is a special duet episode every season. Floors duet with Henk is an instant epic.
Hello, you are so right. Floor is born to sing. From deep growls to full classical. And she is a wonderfull earth down Human. 🤘And yes, she is the Lead Singer of Nightwish (actually on Tour in the US.) And we in germany can see at this time, ervery week in Sing meinen Song. 🤘
Floor has such an impressive range and power, but what surprises and impresses me every single time is when she makes it very soft and small and trailing off into a whisper. she keeps full control of diction, tone and breath control until the very end when it trails into nothing. That is so incredibly difficult.
The program is a Dutch TV show called Best singers. A small group of singers that sing eachother's songs or favorites. Floor is one of the Dutch best singers by far.
@@StrateleStudios Just wait until you hear her with Nightwish :D Ghost love score live at Wacken 2013 is the most incredible live performance I have ever seen. I could recommend How´s the Heart? acoustic version by Nightwish too. That really showcases her vocals. Chills bigtime.
Stratele Studios. Floor Jansen is a Metal Singer. Wait? Pop Singer? Opera Singer? Rock Singer? Death Metal Singer? Arias Singer? YES she can do it all. She sings in English, Suedish, Dutch, German, Italian, Finnish, Spanish and Latin. She is also a Vocal Coach. To first start to know her you should do: Ghost Love Score - Live at Wacken 2013. She was in the band only a few months ago and sings for 82 000 audiance.
I see Gabriel has explained the Netherlands TV Show, Beste Zangers, so might I say Floor owns “Shallow” now. She did it twice that season. She sang this version to the young woman in red, Emma Hester’s. Each invited singer, those on the coach , sang the focused singer of the night’s songs, or interests. In the case of Emma, she is You Tube Cover entertainer, so no real songs of her own, so in an interview at the show, she chose to sing Shallow to her as a big sister, as she mentioned being older. Emma was early twenties at the time. Floor, & Tim Ackerman in the green striped shirt,sang it duet for someone else, cannot remember who. You might want to check it out comparatively, I probably prefer the duet, but love this too.... ALL FLOOR! She also sings “Phantom of the Opera”, marvelously I might add with Henke Porte, the actual Phantom of the Netherlands musicals. I see you caught Floor IS the lead singer of Nightwish, & they are currently on tour in the US! 🤘🔥❤️
If you like the concept of Beste Zangers, you can also check out the trio Ogene. They are sisters who sang their whole life. They perform “sing” with an amazing trick in it. And “clown” makes everybody crie. During the pandemic they recorded from their own homes “bohemian rapsody” and got recognition of Queen themselves. The deliver beautiful perfect harmonies and were the first ever who got in The Voice as a group. They won ofcourse.
She's the complete singer, much like Dimash Kudaibergen. She possesses the physical, technical, and spiritual attributes to make people not only hear the music, but feel the music! Simply superb.
Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧. I enjoyed your reaction. Beste Zangers is a Dutch TV show where singers from different genres get together and each week one singer is chosen and the others have to either sing songs from the chosen singer's catalogue or songs that are special to that chosen singer. It's not a competition but rather a celebration. Floor performed 8 times singing 7 different songs ( she performed a duet of Shallow too) including an amazing version of Phantom Of The Opera! As for reacting to Nightwish with Floor, may I suggest you start with Ghost Love Score (originally sung by Tarja) live from Wacken 2013. Stay safe 🤘 ✌
I hope you do…then you will realize why that song is the most reacted song on RUclips…😉 Another suggestion….Nightwish with floor did wishmaster too…check out their live performances….there better served live anyway..
Know what's even more unbelievable? Before performing on this show, almost no one in her own country knew who she was. On the first show, she sung to the older gentleman who's an opera singer. She ended up singing Vilja Lied to him which is a song that his mother used to sing to him as a child. She ended up being the first preformer on that season debut and you can see the reaction of everyone being blown away. You should check out that performance Vilja Lied (if you want to check out the entire series in your own time, it's definitely worth it) and watch Her and the older guy perform a duet of Phantom of the Opera. She has a very wide range of musical prowess, different styles and languages and she could even scream like a death metal singer. She's definitely worth a deep dive.
Beste Zangers had some amazing performances, not only from Floor, but the other singers sitting on couch, I love Rolf Sánchez reactions, he always goes 😮😮😮😮 whenever she sings lol she also sang his song, Qué Se Siente, on that same show, in Spanish (for my understanding, he's half Dutch and half Latino), that made me so happy, being a latina myself
Thanks Jeff for the shout out, but honestly, the suggestion was for your benefit because I was already an instant fan from this performance. She has a considerable instrument she's mastered. While I'm sure others will fill you in, Beste' Zangers is a Dutch TV show that gathers a small, diverse genred group of peers, set them down in a intimate exotic location, back them with the excellent Marcelo Fisser Band and each show has one of the group act as "guest" and the others sing songs that are either theirs or they have a connection to. No voting, or other contrived pretext, just singing for each other. I think a wonderfully constructed program. It also was a coming out party for Floor inasmuch as most of the performers were unfamiliar with her as were her fellow country folks. On Floor's set of performances she sings in several different languages including German and Spanish. From Floor's solo concert in Amsterdam last fall, there are several well done songs. Another in this vein I enjoy is Slow, Love, Slow and more up tempo Storm in a Glass though it's not limited to those two by any means. Also her current single she co-wrote & dropped this spring, Fire, which I believe I linked a wonderful live version with great sound but rather than check I'll just paste it again. ruclips.net/video/rqwHMgo_DdQ/видео.html I just noticed you did an interview with the Dirty Loops lead and I'm going now to listen to it now. Thanks for suggestion. Regards,
@@StrateleStudios I found it interesting that Quincy Jones was mentor. Not sure if you are aware who Emily Bear is. She's pretty young, but she just won a Grammy this year for her composition of "Bridgerton, the Musical" based on the tv show by the same name. I mention her because Quincy became her mentor when she was around 10 or so. She was a prodigy on the piano from about age 3. She has an interesting wiki - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Bear Here is a jam with a pianist from Brazil ruclips.net/video/NpSFcL9fASA/видео.html
This is what Floor does to the world, she sings straight through your hart and soul, here on a dutch radio station they heard that she even can sing from a phone book and it still will sound great so she did live on the radio and even that was great and what you've said, you can learn skills but you have talend or you don't and men what a talend she have, not only that but she commands every stage she's been on every crowd eats out her hand Floor can let you feel every note she sings and that is something you can't learn great reaction btw and greetings from the Netherlands
Floor sure had many great performances in that Beste Zangers TV show. If nothing more, check out her singing the "Winner" from that same show 🤘🙂👍 ...She has so many great performances and songs it is hard to list even fraction of them, but many people start her Nightwish experience from the "Ghost love score" from the 2013 Wacken festival. She has done many co-op songs, like "Sweet Curse" with Simone from Epica, "Alone" cover is great too, etc. etc. 😊
Christmas Truce by Sabaton is outstanding in its own right. Listen to the vocals in the ending credits. Worth the effort. It adds another dimension to the video. The Valkyrie Goddess calling the fallen home.

This is from NW newest album, song's name is "How's the heart" and it intentionally describes how Floor and Hannes met (both were on tour)... Btw wery nice song, and has excellent acoustic version (from Planet Rock 2020). If you do the Christmas truce by Sabaton (which is excellent and quite moving) please don't cut the finál titles, be sure to listen and read til end...
I totally get what you’re saying in your analysis. Floor sculpts every note and sound she makes like Michelangelo in this performance. The attention to every little detail is stunning.
Floor is a combination of god given talent and Hard Work .....she has worked hard at her craft but you are right she is born to sing ....there's a demo of her singing a song " Black Tomb " at 16 yrs old with her 1st band After Forever ....without one voice lesson , extremely nervous and she knocks it out of the park .
I absolutely love your Salieri - Mozart analogy, on point like nothing else. And indeed, Floor was born for this or as Tuomas said back in 2015, right before the famous Nightwish - Tampere concert: "She's right at home doing this". Ty for a great reaction. Cheers from Amsterdam!
This was a really nice reaction…you clearly enjoyed it. Another one you might like is Nightwish’s acoustic version of How’s the Heart? Another stunner.
Very nice and genuine reaction. Floor Jansen is a true music phenomenon. She can virtually sing the phone book which she has by the way. You must hear her Nightwish and cover materials. 💥💥💥
I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis! Floor has become my all-time favorite singer in the past year or so. She can do so many styles brilliantly and consistently. It's almost witch-like how incredibly great she is live on a consistent basis. She just seems to nail it every single time. I always say, Floor is great in the studio, but she gets her superpowers when performing live. And not just her voice, but she's also an amazing performer with tons of charisma and stage presence (not really relevant in this setting). And if all that's not enough, she's also very humble and kind. Just the total package.
I absolutely agree with the other recommendations here for Nightwish songs. If I could discuss Floor's solo efforts for a second, she just this month is releasing solo songs from a German language TV special similar to "Beste Zangers", called "Sing Meinen Song". The first selection from that series, "Over Too Quickly", originally by German songwriter Clueso, and covered by Floor in a "rock-style" approach, came out exceptionally well for her, and, with all due respect, somewhat better than her recently released first actual "solo" song, "Fire". It's not available on RUclips, so the link is a little complicated --- www.vox.de/cms/sing-meinen-song-clueso-hit-als-metal-song-damit-blaest-nightwish-frontfrau-floor-jansen-alle-weg-4959246.html. But like Beste Zangers, its a joyous celebration of singing, with the other singers cheering Floor on as she rocks out! Definitely check it out when you have some free moments if you don't have a chance to do it on the channel !
@@TedinCalgary1952 Check my channel. I've subbed Floor's renditions on "Sing meinen Song" and uploaded the full versions on Odysee (YT blocked the video's instantly and I had to cut out all of the singing). Cheers from Amsterdam
Yes. Her innate musicality is based on a bedrock of finely homed skill. You are right, there is micro-intentionality in every phrase - every note & every breath between. Very few can do this at this level. Just gorgeous.
New subscriber here. If you have not heard Nightwish with Floor Jansen (Yansen), you have an amazing journey in your future! Try "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013 to begin your trip down the rabbit hole.
Hello buddy, thanks and please, dont stop there, i am quite sure you will be stunned by the fact that there is a huge selection, ALL on this lvel, you allmost cant go wrong with floor and nightwish, or even without... Greeting from NWA Czech unit :-)
Oh definitely. I've just only cracked opened the door on her. I've heard so much about Floor and with my somewhat marginal familiarity of Nightwish I know there is a gold mine waiting to be tapped. Thank you for you comment! :)
@@StrateleStudios I am not sure if Gabriel will enter here before you step into floor with Nightwish, but if you see HIM, you will get links to great many song in high quality recording, which might be usefull...
Great reaction. Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of around four octaves +. When listening to Floor sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres, and is a Master vocal coach. She often refers to herself as a vocal nerd. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
She was amazing in 'Beste zangers'. Watch her sing 'The Phantom of the opera' together with a Dutch opera singer who is also part of this group.They practiced just once..and this performance went viral! It was amazing! They 'found' each other and later he performed in Nightwish.
Ok well that was a great place to start to hear Floor’s beautiful voice so thank you for the reaction. I must say if you’ve heard Nightwish I really think you should re visit with Ghost Love Score live @ Wacken 2013 please , you won’t regret it , thx 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
Imagine this brilliant singer, singing the brilliant musical works of Tuomas Halopainen... better start listening to that. Okay, you already know a lot of the Nightwish songs and I'm curiously waiting for your reactions. Every song Wacken open air 2013. The way Floor sings The Poet and the Pendulum, Wembley Arena 2015, and The Greatest Show on Earth, Wembley or Tampere 2015/2016, I'm sure you're going to LOVE it. Thank you for you reaction 🥰
PRIOR to Fall of 2019 Floor's *NATIVE Country the Netherlands, in general, NEVER heard of Floor Jansen because they don't play metal on the radio there. So only if you were ALREADY a metal head you would've known her from After Forever, ReVamp and/or Nightwish. So, Netherlands = NO METAL. (generalizing) When Floor appeared on the show Beste Zangers in season 12 (No, not a competition, but a singing show where Dutch artists sing to each other when one of them sits on the couch for the whole episode, Floor's "couch" episode was ep4). When all the singers arrived for the show, the ONLY one who knew anything about her was Tim Akkerman who knew her from her time in After Forever. All everyone else knew was some "Metal" singer was going to be on the show. To make this SHORT, she blew everyone away INCLUDING audiences that were watching at their homes on tv. (Watch ALL 8 performances and you’ll be blown away!!!) Floor NOW became known in the Netherlands, so much so that when she was contacted to book Solo shows she agreed and 9 shows were INSTANTLY sold out!!! BECAUSE many were NEW fans from her time on the show Beste Zangers Floor carefully selected songs from her musical history that would SUIT the audience she was playing to. She said it was tricky to do it in a way where people wouldn't say it was "TOO hard" or "not hard ENOUGH". Floor added a 10th solo show to the list and started a crowd funder where fans around the world pitched in to have the show recorded and released in digital streaming platforms, money was also raised for a cool documentary of the show (which is released already to her paid Floor-funders on RUclips, such as myself). Unfortunately that show had to be delayed because of Covid 19 and lockdowns. FINALLY in September they were able to do the show and it was all recorded. I'm giving you this history because it was announced that EACH week, as the full show is being put together, she is releasing one song/performance. Last week it was "Ever Dream". (other Nightwish songs performed were "Nemo", "Elan", "Decades in the Sun", “Slow Love Slow”; the other songs came from her previous bands After Forever, ReVamp, Northward project, songs performed on the Beste Zangers show and cover songs she has been releasing on her youtube channel since the pandemic started last year.) They will have a Rock "sauce" but it is NOT a metal show at ALL. She does 2 musical numbers including "Phantom of the Opera" and she does a cover of Lady Gaga's "Shallow" that she performed on Beste Zangers.
NoOne Thank you for your comment. One small detail though. The Netherlands is Floor's native country. The term 'home country' is less accurate in her case as she doesn't live there anymore. There is a different meaning between the two. Floor is native Dutch as she is of Dutch heritage and she was born and raised in The Netherlands. Dutch is her native language. But her home country right now is actually Sweden as her home is quite literally in Sweden not in The Netherlands.
You should do Vilja Lied (Vilja’s Song) from the same show. It was the first song of the 2019 series and nobody knew what to expect. Their faces were priceless.
Floor has vocal techniques you will love to explore. Emotive & passionate always. No “genres” to place her into as “good music is good music” - but her first love is metal. The “Metal Mozart” / composer / founder of Nightwish - Tuomas Holopainen writes masterpieces for the talented musicians in NIghtwish to bring it to life & Floor conveys the vision to us vocally & emotionally- every - single- time! You won’t stop at one Nightwish song! So many masterpieces to choose from - particularly live performances. Enjoy the experiences!
Ok guys and gals the next reaction I’m going to do from Floor/Nightwish will be….”Love Score” at Wacken. Someone please reply to this comment with a LINK to the correct version everyone wants to see. This will help me get it right (unlike the way I pronounced Jansen 😆). Let’s do this! Is this the one? ruclips.net/video/47e_961OQWE/видео.html
Floor is utilizing a large palette of her vocal qualities. To me her timbre sounds gentle, warm, and inviting. In the choruses she goes for more vocal chord closure, and for added spice does a couple of vocal fry accents. Still in my ears her voice hasn't lost any of the warm quality there. I think the Beste Zangers is a lovely show format, not a competition but a celebration of singing. High production value to let the singer, the house band, and the various professionals from the arranger to the translator (if needed) to get it right. The intimate setting brings an instant emotional connection, for me a large part of songs should be.
Before I get slayed on this, hahaha, it looks like Floor still IS their current lead singer (I'm not sure why I thought she wasn't, maybe cuz I heard she was doing solo stuff?) 😊
Sorry "YAWNsen" not JANsen (such an American, sheesh) hahaha
Lastly, “I diverge” 😂🤣😂 wtf? “I digress…”
Most mistakes in a video so far…but I’m working through a cold 😷, have mercy on me 😟
WELCOME ALL FANS OF FLOOR AND NIGHTWISH! 🤘
Lucky you😂 I was about to slaughter your little mistake
@@rg8829 😂🤣😂❤️
I was going to ask who the tattooed, windmilling imposter that I saw fronting Nightwish this week was 😂 Kidding, of course. You will get plenty of requests for songs from Wacken which are great, but I think you will really appreciate some of the vocal lines in addition to the music from their newest album Human Nature. Shoemaker, Pan, and Music are a few to start. If you want to see a much grittier version of Floor and Nightwish from newer material, Weak Fantasy Live from Tampere or Yours is an Empty Hope Live from Wembley or Mexico City are good options.
@@amyclausel4875 😂🤣😂 love that Amy! Hahaha. Thanks for the suggestions! 😃
get ready the army is on the way! try her solo FIRE
Floor is the best female singer on the planet right now - bar none. Opera, metal, growls, pop, rock - you name it - she can do it all.
Second that, bro 😇😇😇
Totally agree. Can't get enough of her voice.
And in different languages too.
100% AGREEE
Beyond any doubt! And not only can she do all that she can switch between all of that in the same song! Crazy talent!
She IS the lead singer of Nightwish!
Welcome to the Floor army.
Let’s go down the rabbithole.
Greetz from Amsterdam.
Any song she sings instantly becomes her song.
You already understand that Floor has a unique talent, I would dare say it is a unique talent in a generation. As you can imagine, behind this talent are already over 2 decades of training and performance at the highest level of the symphonic metal genre.
7 Dutch singers from various musical genres were invited to this TV show in the Netherlands. For Floor, it was an opportunity to show to a wider audience that metal can be accessible, and that it deserves its place in the mainstream media, given that until now it was considered underground in the Netherlands. As an unexpected effect of this TV show, Floor did a series of solo concerts in the Netherlands in early 2020, with a compilation of songs from her entire career (After Forever, Revamp, Northward, Nightwish, Beste Zangers), and very recently released her first solo song, called "Fire".
I hope you will continue this journey of discovery. I promise you won't regret it.
hey Gabriel he is going to go down the NIGHTWISH rabbit hole so your info im sure would be appreciated.stay safe my friend
What a great way for her to bridge the gap and lessen some stereotypes associated with metal. What a gift she gave them!
@@StrateleStudios As a Jazz musician and music snob who never got the whole symphonic metal vibe (always sounded like cheese to me) after listening to Nightwish... I get it now. Floor is a big part of it... but the complicated and gorgeous compositions, the layering, and the impeccable musicianship of Nightwish as a whole (even to a Jazz snob maniac like me) is undeniable. If you do go down this rabbit hole... I implore you to watch the Wacken Live 2013 versions of any Nightwish songs suggested, if it was on their set list that night. That concert, in my humble opinion, is Nightwish at their peak. Its one of those concerts where everyone and everything, including the crew, the lighting team, the pyro guy, the engineers, and even the crowd, were firing on all cylinders. Hell, even the camera work recording the performance is stellar. It's just a complete concert experience and, again imo, is the greatest example of anything Symphonic Metal I've ever seen. Nothing even comes close.
GENERAL GABE!!! This guy is gonna be a Life-Long Floor / NW Fan!!!!
Just look at this woman ....she is incredible! time to cry
This was one of Floor's many stunning performances from the Dutch show Beste Zangers. (Please review them all!) Even long time fans of Floor were shocked by her jaw-dropping versatility. By the way, this isn't a competition -- all the people sitting on the couches are amazing artist (one is the host). Each week they honor one of the artist by singing songs that are important to them. That season was absolutely astounding.
Thank you so much for letting me know this!
@@StrateleStudios My opinion better than Lady Gaga. From the same show check out Phantom of the Opera with Floor and Henk Poort who was the original Dutch Phantom (1000+ performances). If you want to check out Nightwish then try Romanticide from Wacken Metal festival 2013 or Dead Boys Poem from Buenos Aires 2018.

Floor opened the show with the 1st song below and just blew everyone's mind,only two of the other singers knew who Floor was but none of them had heard her sing with such versatility,after the 8 day run of the show Floor's & NW's popularity soared,stadiums filled up and ticket sales shot up.btw since Floor joined NW & after this show NW's fan base has tripled . on Mama by Samantha S.Floor completely changes the tempo and song structure ,the song is about Samantha wanting to be more like her Mom, Que Se Siente by Rolf is originally a merenge ,mambo type song so of course Floor does it her way,Winner by Tim A. he wrote for his brother who has Spina Bifida,
About Love ,Ruben wrote about his parents divorce.

Phantom of the opera from this same show and nightwish ghost love score live from Wacken 2013. Must must must. Nice reaction btw
the nightwish army is here too :) always at Floor, always by the valkyrie's side.
Wow, that was the most complimentary critiquing of Floor l've ever heard!!!! ( And there have been a bunch )
Thank you Jon! 😊😊😊👏
You need to react to more from this show: 'phantom of the opera', 'nemo', 'strong', 'vivo per lei', 'winner'. All great songs!
The Beste zangers is a Dutch show where singers sing songs of others to each other. You should she more Nightwish live at Wacken...or Wembley.
But first look at Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort from the same show "Beste Zangers" it will blow your mind....
She is not only the best singer I have ever seen but she is also the best performer. I had the privilege to see her with Nightwish a couple of days ago and you could tell she made a personal connection with everybody in that audience. They went two hours and she did not miss one note and she was as strong at the end as she was at the start. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen and you can tell how genuine she is and how much she loves to sing. Just seeing her in video cannot prepare you for how incredible she is live.
im with steve the more you go down this rabbit hole you will find that Floor is the best female vocalist on the planet.. maybe my life time im 52...thx for the react. ROCK ON!
"beste zangers" [best singers] is a compatition between know singers in holland. They sing each others songs. Floor sang a song for Emma Heesters, a youtube singer that does covers. (blonde in the red dress). Realy nice to watch , they are all good singers in there own right. But the thing is , now they need to go out of there comfert zone and sing :)
You are totally correct..floor was born to sing
It's one of the episodes from Beste Zangers 2019
Watch out for the Nightwish army! 😜
LOL…I just said that to my girlfriend last night 😄
You should definitely check out her cover “Winner” from the same show Beste Zangers 🙃
Classical training prepares singers for so much versatility through proper technique. Floor of course is incredibly naturally gifted but she also put the work in to become the jaw dropping performer that she is.
My point was you can have an abundance of training but if you don’t have the natural ability you can only get so far. Not the point that ALL you need is natural ability without training. I thought that was inferred but maybe I needed to mention it as well.
@@StrateleStudios either way we both arrive at the same destination. FLOOR IS AWESOME 🙂

When I first saw her live with Nightwish at Wacken 2013, I instantly fell in love with her, like almost every guy in the crowd. The girls just all wanted to be like her. She took us all by storm. When you get to the opener of the Wacken 2013 show "Dark Chest Of Wonders", you can see it in the eyes of the people in the crowd. Most hadn't seen her with Nightwish, but there were rumours spread how good their South American Tour went in Fall/Winter 2012. So the expectations were high. But she just blew us all away. Greets from Germany!
She loves what she does, and we love having the privilege to listen.
It’s a win/win 🥰
They were stunned into jaw dropping silence and awe. After the first note they new they were witnessing a living legend.
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted !
Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6)
She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot.
Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
Floor Jansen,....the most complete singer , Ever !!!
You, my good sir, haven't seen nothing yet😉.
Timo, my friend from Estonia! Thank you so much for that awesome informative comment! You Rock! 🤘
Great reaction! I get the same feeling even on the 20th time watching. Reaction by her fellow singers is telling too.
See You Are Like The Rest of Us People ! Not Just a Nightwish Fan ! But We Also Are Massive Fans Of Floor ! She is Brilliant & Can Sing Any Style of Song ! Epic Singer ! Nightwish Disciple From Australia 🇦🇺🏄♂️😝
When she was rehearsing this for the show it was the band that suggested to keep it small for greater impact. In the last episode she did the duet version with Tim Akkerman
Proud servant of my Queen Floor!
She so great. It's same what song she singing soud just beautiful. Nightwish found perfect singer🇫🇮
She sings O Mio Babbino Caro and from the gamecube game Final Fantasy Chronicals, Sound of the Wind too. In the first episode she sings a aria in German
Boy are you in for a ride when you finally react to Nightwish. Your journey down the rabbit hole starts now.
If u want to see ridiculously complex yet mind-blowingly brilliant floors singing, then have a look at How's the Heart , acoustic version is .. well, you will see ...... enjoy
You know you're a great singer when you are on a show with your peers and you leave them speechless
Oh so beautiful reaction. Hope Floor see this. She is a star like no one else.
That would be amazing! 🥰
I'm pretty confident that most those that listen to her don't understand the incredible God like gift this woman has. She covers all the dynamics and even dynamics unknown to theory. Really a walking phenomenon. But then you don't have to have a julliard education to understand what sounds over the top. It's a privilege , even for this planets greatest vocalist to hear her.
Floor is just an exceptional blessed talent ... she will gif you tears chills shiver smiles... so just enjoy and be a fan ... Whit her band Nightwish its a joy ..never boring never the same ... greetings from 🤟✌Amsterdam
This is from Beste zangers (Best Singers), where every season, they have 6 singers and every episode it's about another singer, how they got started, what inspired them to sing and al that.
Floor is a super sensitive empath and acts as a conduit to take the emotions in the words and implants them into ur soul.
She is simply the best !!! in my opinion goat.
She makes me cry even if ive heard a performance 100 times.
She is a gift from god .
Agreed!!
I concur!
They are all singers in that room, bar one, the presenter, they knew were in the presence of greatness
There's an emotional quality that certain singers seem to be able to infuse into the lyrics, combined with their technical abilities, their natural tones, and their vocal range. We've all heard singers perform songs that they have no business doing, and then there's other who can sing anything. She's truly a rare talent. You should check out the other performances from the show. No one had heard of her before she appeared on the show, but they certainly knew her afterward.
De beste zangers (Dutch for best singers) is a show were Dutch artists (some with already a big career, and other less famous) sing for each other (and us of course) in every episode one of the artists stands in the spotlight, and the other artists sing a song that's special for him or her (something it's their original song or from an artist that was inspiring for them) what makes it so great that there is no competition element, so the performing artists are more relaxed to get out of their comfort zone and trying new (and surprising) things
I totally agree with you. I sang in high school and was fairly good at it, but she has a talent that you can't learn. Similarly to singers like Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, etc. etc. etc. I'm a fan for sure.
Floor is a legend.
It’s not only her impeccable technique that makes her such a great performer.. She’s also an incredible empath, who know what the song she is singing embodies.. She is sooo in touch with the emotions that have been poured into the lyrics by the writer and is able to convey those emotions in a way very few people have been or are able to do.. I can not remember that in my 45 yrs I’ve come across any other singer that actually could move me to tears..
Floor is love, Floor is life, Floor is unique..
ps: if you want to see some more of Floor solo, watch her cover of Alone (by Heart)..
That’s why I was so emotionally affected by this. It’s the way she uses her tools to evoke emotion. Regarding the song “Alone” what a masterpiece for Floor to cover! I gotta see that!
I am a 53 year old tough metalhead and Floor makes me cry like a baby….
Floor is not of this planet she is an Angel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have been Floored !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Floor was with After Forever when Wishmaster came out. Other groups where she's the lead were Revamp and Northward.
She did the 1st song of the show (before they had a clue) Vilja Lied.
Great analysis. New follower here. Just saw Nightwish on May 8 and 10. Absolutely incredible concerts. The band was in top form and Floor was at the top of her game.
Two nights? That’s awesome! I’ve seen them with Floor once and she commanded the venue like no other! 💪
The new season Beste zangers just started and is pretty impressive also. Check them out!
They do songs of the main guest or songs that have a special meaning to them.
And there is a special duet episode every season. Floors duet with Henk is an instant epic.
Hello, you are so right. Floor is born to sing. From deep growls to full classical. And she is a wonderfull earth down Human. 🤘And yes, she is the Lead Singer of Nightwish (actually on Tour in the US.) And we in germany can see at this time, ervery week in Sing meinen Song. 🤘
Its good to know she's a wonderful human being as well! :) Thank you Ralf!
Not only in germany my friend, rest asured... 😊
Unikat, do i need to say more?
@@SYNtemp Her Version is awesome. Yes ,she is a Unikat 🤘
@@ralfmeyer9086 It was damn hard to find the full video of it, but i did, lucky...
This is what you get when you combine talent and a insane amount of work and training.You get Floor.
Floor has such an impressive range and power, but what surprises and impresses me every single time is when she makes it very soft and small and trailing off into a whisper. she keeps full control of diction, tone and breath control until the very end when it trails into nothing. That is so incredibly difficult.
I totally agree Beleg! 👏
She is indeed the Mozart under the singers
the dutch warrior princess, hit you in your soul instandly.......and keept hitting it again every time
I think I’ve been captured 🥰
The program is a Dutch TV show called Best singers. A small group of singers that sing eachother's songs or favorites. Floor is one of the Dutch best singers by far.
Thanks Erik!
Nightwish Army from New Zealand popping in to say "hi". Loved your reaction. Warning: Floor captures human souls. But we don't mind.
Start with Ghost love score, live at Wacken.
Floor Jansen has the most beautiful colours to her voice. My brain can´t handle that level of awesomeness :D
Great way of describing it! 👏👏👏
@@StrateleStudios Just wait until you hear her with Nightwish :D Ghost love score live at Wacken 2013 is the most incredible live performance I have ever seen. I could recommend How´s the Heart? acoustic version by Nightwish too. That really showcases her vocals. Chills bigtime.
Stratele Studios. Floor Jansen is a Metal Singer. Wait? Pop Singer? Opera Singer? Rock Singer? Death Metal Singer? Arias Singer? YES she can do it all. She sings in English, Suedish, Dutch, German, Italian, Finnish, Spanish and Latin. She is also a Vocal Coach. To first start to know her you should do: Ghost Love Score - Live at Wacken 2013. She was in the band only a few months ago and sings for 82 000 audiance.
Suedish?
I see Gabriel has explained the Netherlands TV Show, Beste Zangers, so might I say Floor owns “Shallow” now. She did it twice that season. She sang this version to the young woman in red, Emma Hester’s. Each invited singer, those on the coach , sang the focused singer of the night’s songs, or interests. In the case of Emma, she is You Tube Cover entertainer, so no real songs of her own, so in an interview at the show, she chose to sing Shallow to her as a big sister, as she mentioned being older. Emma was early twenties at the time. Floor, & Tim Ackerman in the green striped shirt,sang it duet for someone else, cannot remember who. You might want to check it out comparatively, I probably prefer the duet, but love this too.... ALL FLOOR! She also sings “Phantom of the Opera”, marvelously I might add with Henke Porte, the actual Phantom of the Netherlands musicals. I see you caught Floor IS the lead singer of Nightwish, & they are currently on tour in the US! 🤘🔥❤️
floor is with nightwish now in the USA
If you like the concept of Beste Zangers, you can also check out the trio Ogene. They are sisters who sang their whole life. They perform “sing” with an amazing trick in it. And “clown” makes everybody crie. During the pandemic they recorded from their own homes “bohemian rapsody” and got recognition of Queen themselves. The deliver beautiful perfect harmonies and were the first ever who got in The Voice as a group. They won ofcourse.
WOW
She sings with her soul
Yes!!!
She's the complete singer, much like Dimash Kudaibergen. She possesses the physical, technical, and spiritual attributes to make people not only hear the music, but feel the music! Simply superb.
Yes!!!
It's Better Than The Original Versión
Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧. I enjoyed your reaction. Beste Zangers is a Dutch TV show where singers from different genres get together and each week one singer is chosen and the others have to either sing songs from the chosen singer's catalogue or songs that are special to that chosen singer. It's not a competition but rather a celebration. Floor performed 8 times singing 7 different songs ( she performed a duet of Shallow too) including an amazing version of Phantom Of The Opera! As for reacting to Nightwish with Floor, may I suggest you start with Ghost Love Score (originally sung by Tarja) live from Wacken 2013. Stay safe 🤘 ✌
Thank you so much, Brian. I'll check out your suggestion!
I hope you do…then you will realize why that song is the most reacted song on RUclips…😉 Another suggestion….Nightwish with floor did wishmaster too…check out their live performances….there better served live anyway..
Know what's even more unbelievable? Before performing on this show, almost no one in her own country knew who she was. On the first show, she sung to the older gentleman who's an opera singer. She ended up singing Vilja Lied to him which is a song that his mother used to sing to him as a child. She ended up being the first preformer on that season debut and you can see the reaction of everyone being blown away.
You should check out that performance Vilja Lied (if you want to check out the entire series in your own time, it's definitely worth it) and watch Her and the older guy perform a duet of Phantom of the Opera. She has a very wide range of musical prowess, different styles and languages and she could even scream like a death metal singer. She's definitely worth a deep dive.
I have seen her twice live and she's pretty much the best singer live this moment.
Beste Zangers had some amazing performances, not only from Floor, but the other singers sitting on couch, I love Rolf Sánchez reactions, he always goes 😮😮😮😮 whenever she sings lol she also sang his song, Qué Se Siente, on that same show, in Spanish (for my understanding, he's half Dutch and half Latino), that made me so happy, being a latina myself
@Stratele Studios I made a mistake there, his last name is Sanchez not Mendez! 🙈
Hahaha no worries! Thanks for the correction! 😊😊😊💙
Thanks Jeff for the shout out, but honestly, the suggestion was for your benefit because I was already an instant fan from this performance. She has a considerable instrument she's mastered.
While I'm sure others will fill you in, Beste' Zangers is a Dutch TV show that gathers a small, diverse genred group of peers, set them down in a intimate exotic location, back them with the excellent Marcelo Fisser Band and each show has one of the group act as "guest" and the others sing songs that are either theirs or they have a connection to. No voting, or other contrived pretext, just singing for each other. I think a wonderfully constructed program. It also was a coming out party for Floor inasmuch as most of the performers were unfamiliar with her as were her fellow country folks. On Floor's set of performances she sings in several different languages including German and Spanish.
From Floor's solo concert in Amsterdam last fall, there are several well done songs. Another in this vein I enjoy is Slow, Love, Slow and more up tempo Storm in a Glass though it's not limited to those two by any means. Also her current single she co-wrote & dropped this spring, Fire, which I believe I linked a wonderful live version with great sound but rather than check I'll just paste it again. ruclips.net/video/rqwHMgo_DdQ/видео.html
I just noticed you did an interview with the Dirty Loops lead and I'm going now to listen to it now. Thanks for suggestion. Regards,
Thanks you all the same my friend! Enjoy the interview! 😊
@@StrateleStudios I found it interesting that Quincy Jones was mentor. Not sure if you are aware who Emily Bear is. She's pretty young, but she just won a Grammy this year for her composition of "Bridgerton, the Musical" based on the tv show by the same name. I mention her because Quincy became her mentor when she was around 10 or so. She was a prodigy on the piano from about age 3. She has an interesting wiki - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Bear
Here is a jam with a pianist from Brazil
ruclips.net/video/NpSFcL9fASA/видео.html
This is what Floor does to the world, she sings straight through your hart and soul, here on a dutch radio station they heard that she even can sing from a phone book and it still will sound great so she did live on the radio and even that was great and what you've said, you can learn skills but you have talend or you don't and men what a talend she have, not only that but she commands every stage she's been on every crowd eats out her hand Floor can let you feel every note she sings and that is something you can't learn great reaction btw and greetings from the Netherlands
Floor sure had many great performances in that Beste Zangers TV show. If nothing more, check out her singing the "Winner" from that same show 🤘🙂👍
...She has so many great performances and songs it is hard to list even fraction of them, but many people start her Nightwish experience from the "Ghost love score" from the 2013 Wacken festival. She has done many co-op songs, like "Sweet Curse" with Simone from Epica, "Alone" cover is great too, etc. etc. 😊
Christmas Truce by Sabaton is outstanding in its own right. Listen to the vocals in the ending credits. Worth the effort. It adds another dimension to the video. The Valkyrie Goddess calling the fallen home.
I saw Sabaton open for Delain who opened for Nightwish a couple years ago. Awesome show!!!
Nightwish Army Northern Germany greets the Sabaton family.
FYI: Sabaton's drummer is Floor's husband.
@@josbogers whaaaaaaaat?! I did not know that! Very cool!
@@StrateleStudios consider these words from them:
We met where the cliff greets the see
Shared our story, took the leap
Rose uprooted hid a note
You know where, you've been there
Now there'one who came from me
Child of light, another tale
Night will come but not to stay...
This is from NW newest album, song's name is "How's the heart" and it intentionally describes how Floor and Hannes met (both were on tour)... Btw wery nice song, and has excellent acoustic version (from Planet Rock 2020). If you do the Christmas truce by Sabaton (which is excellent and quite moving) please don't cut the finál titles, be sure to listen and read til end...
I totally get what you’re saying in your analysis. Floor sculpts every note and sound she makes like Michelangelo in this performance. The attention to every little detail is stunning.
Exactly 😊😊😊
Floor is a combination of god given talent and Hard Work .....she has worked hard at her craft but you are right she is born to sing ....there's a demo of her singing a song " Black Tomb " at 16 yrs old with her 1st band After Forever ....without one voice lesson , extremely nervous and she knocks it out of the park .
Humble honest reaction. Very much appreciated it. Thanks!
Thank you Thomas! 😊😊😊
I absolutely love your Salieri - Mozart analogy, on point like nothing else. And indeed, Floor was born for this or as Tuomas said back in 2015, right before the famous Nightwish - Tampere concert: "She's right at home doing this". Ty for a great reaction. Cheers from Amsterdam!
Thank you so much Brendon, I really appreciate it! 😊😊😊
This was a really nice reaction…you clearly enjoyed it. Another one you might like is Nightwish’s acoustic version of How’s the Heart? Another stunner.
Very nice and genuine reaction. Floor Jansen is a true music phenomenon. She can virtually sing the phone book which she has by the way. You must hear her Nightwish and cover materials. 💥💥💥
Definitely check out the rest of Floor Jansen performances live Beste zangers 2019, and 2021, awesome thanks 😊
I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis!
Floor has become my all-time favorite singer in the past year or so. She can do so many styles brilliantly and consistently. It's almost witch-like how incredibly great she is live on a consistent basis. She just seems to nail it every single time. I always say, Floor is great in the studio, but she gets her superpowers when performing live. And not just her voice, but she's also an amazing performer with tons of charisma and stage presence (not really relevant in this setting). And if all that's not enough, she's also very humble and kind. Just the total package.
I absolutely agree with the other recommendations here for Nightwish songs. If I could discuss Floor's solo efforts for a second, she just this month is releasing solo songs from a German language TV special similar to "Beste Zangers", called "Sing Meinen Song". The first selection from that series, "Over Too Quickly", originally by German songwriter Clueso, and covered by Floor in a "rock-style" approach, came out exceptionally well for her, and, with all due respect, somewhat better than her recently released first actual "solo" song, "Fire". It's not available on RUclips, so the link is a little complicated --- www.vox.de/cms/sing-meinen-song-clueso-hit-als-metal-song-damit-blaest-nightwish-frontfrau-floor-jansen-alle-weg-4959246.html. But like Beste Zangers, its a joyous celebration of singing, with the other singers cheering Floor on as she rocks out! Definitely check it out when you have some free moments if you don't have a chance to do it on the channel !
@@TedinCalgary1952 Check my channel. I've subbed Floor's renditions on "Sing meinen Song" and uploaded the full versions on Odysee (YT blocked the video's instantly and I had to cut out all of the singing). Cheers from Amsterdam
Yes. Her innate musicality is based on a bedrock of finely homed skill. You are right, there is micro-intentionality in every phrase - every note & every breath between. Very few can do this at this level. Just gorgeous.
i agree with you...the music is born in them...❤️
New subscriber here. If you have not heard Nightwish with Floor Jansen (Yansen), you have an amazing journey in your future! Try "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013 to begin your trip down the rabbit hole.
Thank you for subscribing Stephen AND the help with the pronunciation of her name!
Yes i 2nd this ....Ghost love Score live at wacken 2013
I LOVE Floor Jansen (YAWN-sen)!!! 🤩🥰
*edit: Btw, that was a FLOORGASM you experienced!!!! 😁
“FLOORGASM”! 😂🤣😂 you’re awesome! 😃
Hello buddy, thanks and please, dont stop there, i am quite sure you will be stunned by the fact that there is a huge selection, ALL on this lvel, you allmost cant go wrong with floor and nightwish, or even without...
Greeting from NWA Czech unit :-)
Oh definitely. I've just only cracked opened the door on her. I've heard so much about Floor and with my somewhat marginal familiarity of Nightwish I know there is a gold mine waiting to be tapped. Thank you for you comment! :)
@@StrateleStudios I am not sure if Gabriel will enter here before you step into floor with Nightwish, but if you see HIM, you will get links to great many song in high quality recording, which might be usefull...
Love her nuanced control!
We may need a duet with you and her for Hollander? 😉
@@StrateleStudios if only…
@@jeffsouza4213 😄
Great reaction.
Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of around four octaves +. When listening to Floor sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres, and is a Master vocal coach. She often refers to herself as a vocal nerd. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
She was amazing in 'Beste zangers'. Watch her sing 'The Phantom of the opera' together with a Dutch opera singer who is also part of this group.They practiced just once..and this performance went viral! It was amazing! They 'found' each other and later he performed in Nightwish.
She is amazing ❤
Ok well that was a great place to start to hear Floor’s beautiful voice so thank you for the reaction. I must say if you’ve heard Nightwish I really think you should re visit with Ghost Love Score live @ Wacken 2013 please , you won’t regret it , thx 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
GLS is wery typical song to start the journey, ofcourse Wacken 13... 😊
Imagine this brilliant singer, singing the brilliant musical works of Tuomas Halopainen... better start listening to that. Okay, you already know a lot of the Nightwish songs and I'm curiously waiting for your reactions. Every song Wacken open air 2013. The way Floor sings The Poet and the Pendulum, Wembley Arena 2015, and The Greatest Show on Earth, Wembley or Tampere 2015/2016, I'm sure you're going to LOVE it. Thank you for you reaction 🥰
Floor is a real charismatic story teller, awesome. btw she is a vocal coach too, she calls her self a 'technical nerd'.
My favorite kind of nerd! 😊😊😊
PRIOR to Fall of 2019 Floor's *NATIVE Country the Netherlands, in general, NEVER heard of Floor Jansen because they don't play metal on the radio there. So only if you were ALREADY a metal head you would've known her from After Forever, ReVamp and/or Nightwish. So, Netherlands = NO METAL. (generalizing) When Floor appeared on the show Beste Zangers in season 12 (No, not a competition, but a singing show where Dutch artists sing to each other when one of them sits on the couch for the whole episode, Floor's "couch" episode was ep4). When all the singers arrived for the show, the ONLY one who knew anything about her was Tim Akkerman who knew her from her time in After Forever. All everyone else knew was some "Metal" singer was going to be on the show. To make this SHORT, she blew everyone away INCLUDING audiences that were watching at their homes on tv. (Watch ALL 8 performances and you’ll be blown away!!!)
Floor NOW became known in the Netherlands, so much so that when she was contacted to book Solo shows she agreed and 9 shows were INSTANTLY sold out!!! BECAUSE many were NEW fans from her time on the show Beste Zangers Floor carefully selected songs from her musical history that would SUIT the audience she was playing to. She said it was tricky to do it in a way where people wouldn't say it was "TOO hard" or "not hard ENOUGH". Floor added a 10th solo show to the list and started a crowd funder where fans around the world pitched in to have the show recorded and released in digital streaming platforms, money was also raised for a cool documentary of the show (which is released already to her paid Floor-funders on RUclips, such as myself). Unfortunately that show had to be delayed because of Covid 19 and lockdowns. FINALLY in September they were able to do the show and it was all recorded. I'm giving you this history because it was announced that EACH week, as the full show is being put together, she is releasing one song/performance. Last week it was "Ever Dream". (other Nightwish songs performed were "Nemo", "Elan", "Decades in the Sun", “Slow Love Slow”; the other songs came from her previous bands After Forever, ReVamp, Northward project, songs performed on the Beste Zangers show and cover songs she has been releasing on her youtube channel since the pandemic started last year.) They will have a Rock "sauce" but it is NOT a metal show at ALL. She does 2 musical numbers including "Phantom of the Opera" and she does a cover of Lady Gaga's "Shallow" that she performed on Beste Zangers.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your comment. Thank you! 👏👏👏
Now THAT's a comment to applaud! 👏
NoOne Thank you for your comment. One small detail though. The Netherlands is Floor's native country. The term 'home country' is less accurate in her case as she doesn't live there anymore. There is a different meaning between the two. Floor is native Dutch as she is of Dutch heritage and she was born and raised in The Netherlands. Dutch is her native language. But her home country right now is actually Sweden as her home is quite literally in Sweden not in The Netherlands.
@@hansolo2121 Fixed 😜
You should do Vilja Lied (Vilja’s Song) from the same show. It was the first song of the 2019 series and nobody knew what to expect. Their faces were priceless.
Floor has vocal techniques you will love to explore.
Emotive & passionate always.
No “genres” to place her into as “good music is good music” - but her first love is metal.
The “Metal Mozart” / composer / founder of Nightwish - Tuomas Holopainen writes masterpieces for the talented musicians in NIghtwish to bring it to life & Floor conveys the vision to us vocally & emotionally- every - single- time!
You won’t stop at one Nightwish song! So many masterpieces to choose from - particularly live performances.
Enjoy the experiences!
Ok guys and gals the next reaction I’m going to do from Floor/Nightwish will be….”Love Score” at Wacken. Someone please reply to this comment with a LINK to the correct version everyone wants to see. This will help me get it right (unlike the way I pronounced Jansen 😆). Let’s do this!
Is this the one? ruclips.net/video/47e_961OQWE/видео.html

yes live at Wacken
@@frankmerris8821 cool… thank you Frank!
Floor is utilizing a large palette of her vocal qualities. To me her timbre sounds gentle, warm, and inviting. In the choruses she goes for more vocal chord closure, and for added spice does a couple of vocal fry accents. Still in my ears her voice hasn't lost any of the warm quality there.
I think the Beste Zangers is a lovely show format, not a competition but a celebration of singing. High production value to let the singer, the house band, and the various professionals from the arranger to the translator (if needed) to get it right. The intimate setting brings an instant emotional connection, for me a large part of songs should be.
