The most excited guy on the couch wrote and performed the song, which was a big Salsa hit. Floor completely rearranged it for the show and it blew everyone away. If you're interested, you can watch most of the full 2019 episodes of this show (in Dutch with English subtitles). I have, and it's fun to see how Floor consistently surprises everyone with a number of quite varied, excellent performances. Thanks for another great reaction!
@@stpfs9281 I concurr too 🥰 I think the first episode where Henk was "the king" is the funniest, since they did'nt know Floor at all 😄 Their faces says it all 😄😄
People are naturally drawn to Floor. She was an aura about her that we all feel. I’ve never connected with anyone until Floor came along. She’s very unique in a wonderful way. 🥰🥰
Yes ......checkout all of Floor on Beste Zangers. The guy with the huge smile is Rolf Sanchez and shes singing one of his songs in her style ......she learned spanish phonetically with her sister's help just to perform this song . The show is best zangers ( best singers) and all the people on the show are singers ( all different styles) and each week one of them is honored by the other singers by doing one they're songs or a song that is special too them ....in this episode it was Rolf Sanchez being honored. Floor has an amazing performance each week ....and everyone on the show gets along so beautifully, no egos or anything like that just pure joy for each others talent. Try " WINNER" next from the show , get your tissues ready .
You should do the whole season of Beste Zangers 2019 you can get subtitles with it all the singers or just Floors parts or the whole show. She is A Siren/Angel/Valkyrie. The first episode she sings Vilja Lied and surprises most of the other singers who haven't heard her before.
You need to keep checking this programme as Floor also sings a duet with Henk Poort singing Phantom Of The Opera which is sensational, Floor also sings a cover of the Lady Gaga song Shallow, again it is sensational, please react to them soon, best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Floor can sing in 8 different languages and I think she can really converse in 4 or 5. This woman is a talent slingshot, it doesn't stop at singing. In the same show she also sings phantom of the opera with the older gentleman, Henk Port. He is the original dutch phantom. This is a must see. Floor probably comes in this song to the myth of being able to let glass with her voice shatter at the closest. But you should also hear Marko sing solo. He can sing really well. I mean better than good. Fantastic is an understatement. If Pink Floyd tells you something, you might recognize this song. Marko sing High Hopes in Nightwish style. Pls react to this. You will be blown out of your socks, what a voice he has. And Emppu comes with 2 outstanding guitar solos. High Hopes live ruclips.net/video/4oEDnVeYYyM/видео.html
This show in 2019 at last introduced the Dutch public to their own Floor Jansen. It featured 7 singers and each show one sat on couch and other six each sang them a song that was important to them. Floor also sings Vilja Lied in German, Shallow, Winner and I Don't Know A Thing About Love in English and Mama in Dutch. She duets in Phantom of the Opera. Plus Shallow as a duet but personally prefer her solo version.
Her father said in an interview that when Floor performed for the first time in front of an audience (I don't remember how old he said she was, I think around 10 years old), he could not recognise his own daughter anymore. From one moment to the other she transformed from the shy, bullied, damaged, withdrawn soul she was, into a shining star, full of confidence. It is in her blood. She must have been created for performing. I use the word performing, because Floor also spent a few years training on the art of performing, not only on her voice.
Beste zangers is the show that made me discover Floor. The song that blew me out of my socks was "Shallow", after that I checked all her contributions (Vilja Lied, Mama, Que se siente, About love I don't know a thing, Winner, Shallow again but as a duet with Tim Akkerman, one of the other particpants, and Phantom of the opera with Henk Poort) and I was sold. After that I checked Nightwish and the rest is history. And Henk Poort got a real special place in my heart with songs like Vivo per lei, Sound of silence, Noelia, Despacito (apart of course from singing Phantom of the Opera with Floor).
Floors vocals are like her stature she is strong and tall like a man but caring and Beautiful as well. Her music is the same strong and powerful like a man but also caring and soft like a Woman. I hear what you talk about it reminds me of and old style Folk music story teller of ancient times and I do at times pick this up in her singing. But Floor is that and much, much more.
This is song by Rolg Sanchez, the guy with the broader smile than my opportunities. There's something mystical in Floor's voice, that take you in (Valkyrie!). I'm in and so are many of us. Strange!? She have sing in 8 languages by now: English, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, German, Italian and Latin.
Yes Floor can sing anything. Commenters have joked she could sing the phonebook. During a Dutch radio appearance to promote and perform her new single Fire the host asked her to actually sing the phonebook. Being such a fun and cool person she agreed and of course killed it. ruclips.net/video/CLUr1DLwEQg/видео.html. Floor's performance on Beste Zangers was a tour de force that really shows her vocal abilities. Much of her solo work has been a direct result of her exposure on this show. Definitely need to checkout her cover of Shallow from this show. So amazing.
it's like you say, it makes me happy when Floor sings. But that's also what happens, I always get happier when I hear Floor sing. And I think that is the case with LOTS of people. Nice response again and there are many more songs with "de beste zangers". Until the next Nightwish or Floor or so many others she sang along to. The list is long.
She becomes whatever she performs, in a way that is exceedingly rare. There are very few vocalists I know of who can bring the kind of genuine performance, and emotional content that we get from Floor every single time. She also just generally has this warm, even maternal kind of energy. She's just instantly likable.
I hear you with trying to "explain" what it is about Floor, but in struggling with words (we all do it!) you hit ALL the salient points. There's just *something* about her, maybe more than one something, that just absolutely captures your heart and soul.
I heard this song was emitted in Peru and it made nr 1 on the hit list that same night... But she did not go that far from her metal routine: She built up energy along the verses until a great crescendo at the last verses. And she allowed the guitar player a nice solo.
Floor took a salsa song and created this... That's why Rolf is so impressed. It is his song and she made it her own. This show has a guest among themselves every week and the others choose a song to sing to them, an original from the guest or the band or that are meaningful to that person. That night was Rolf's...
These are all singers, and no competition, A Dutch music show! They always sing a song for the person sitting on the Couch next to the Host Presenter. Host JAN SMIT is also a Singer and lives in my Village VOLENDAM around the corner. *FLOOR* Means Flower 🌸 FLOOR is a Dutch Girls 💗 name. Always nice to know 🥰 This is on the beautiful Island of IBIZA (SPAIN) 🇪🇸 in a resort 🌴 🌅 🏝️ Great comment toppy 🔝 Please 🙏 more BESTE ZANGERS. Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🌷 🇳🇱 🙋🏼♀️
There are many singers who can sing a song, there are very few who can make you feel a song, there are even fewer who can take someone else's song and make you feel what that person felt. From everything I've seen, it doesn't matter who wrote the song, when Floor performs it, she makes you feel the emotion behind the song.
Floor has so many sides - I am always stunned by discovering another one. From screaming growling demon in "Disdain" by her former band ReVamp (live at Graspop 2010) to soft tender Floor singing "Shallow" in this show Beste Zangers and all between.
Great reaction guys. Floor could make Klingon sound beautiful. The animated guy with the white and black shirt, Rolf Sanchez, is the original performer and composer of this song but his was a salsa version! You've already reacted to Nightwish's version of Phantom Of The Opera so maybe check out Floor and Henk Poort doing their version on this very show! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
On Beste Zangers, besides hearing that magnificent voice, I love seeing the other singers react to her. Only one other singer even knew who she was. Metal is not played on the radio in the Netherlands so even most people in her own country did not know her. Now they do. Her version on Shallow hit #1 on the Netherlands iTunes chart. Her first song on the show is Vilja Lied. She sings it in German with a little added spice to Henk Port. Henk’s Mother sang it all the time to his Father so it means a lot to him. The reactions on the faces of the other singers is priceless hearing this Metal songstress for the first time. 😄🤘 ruclips.net/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/видео.html
Apart from her performances in this show, to be admired on her RUclips channel, check out the covers/tributes she did during COVID (to keep her voice in shape)! My favs: Alone (cover of the Heart cover) and Adagio (Laura Fabian tribute) Tissues ready?
Floor cannot speak Spanish but said she had to learn the song phonetically and had to understand the meaning of the words to inject the emotion into the song. She is trying to learn more Spanish in the hope of being able to sing in Spanish on the Nightwish South American tour. All of her songs on Beste Zangers were remarkable but especially Shallow (lady Gaga cover) and Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort who was the Original Dutch Phantom with over 1000 performances. Incidentally you hear the good singers can sing the telephone directory and make it sound good well Floor actually did that recently. Search for 'Floor Jansen singing the Phone Book'
I love watching the two of you with your reactions. You are so kind and respectful to each other and the music. I think Floor is very empathic and she does explain that she only sings songs she can really 'feel'. I think that is one of the reasons it is so 'magical' when she sings. It's like she puts all her heart and soul into it and tells you a story.
Great reaction! I was waiting for you to click the link for the next video of her performing Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort. You would be in for a totally different sound from her. I think what Dominika is talking about is what might be called "Empathetic". Floor sings with such feeling, almost all who listen to her feel exactly how she feels. It's always an emotional roller coaster with Floor, she can make you excited, happy, sad, scream and cry all in the same song! You guys should also check out her Channel and see some of her covers, her new solo music and her Fan Fridays videos she did (those are very funny showing another side of Floor).
This show has great idea. Several singers from different genres sings each other's songs every week: everyone tries opera for the opera guy, metal for Floor, etc. This is why you'll see Floor do this for that guy with huge smile and she tries many other genres (kills each, a shocker!). After you hear Shallow and want to say "Lady Gaga, who?", no one will blame you.
I've heard her sing in ... English, Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish, Finnish (pregnant at the time of recording), Swedish, Latin ... it wouldn't surprise me to learn she has sung in other languages. Her voice transcends language and carries us on a journey even when the words escape us, somehow the emotion seems to pull us along.
Floor does not speak Spanish. She learned this song for all of her Spanish speaking fans around the world. You should check all of the Floor performances from this magical show. Floor sings in Dutch, German, and English. She does many different genres on this show. You will love them all. Floor does kind of add some rockiness to her versions of these covers. You are so correct Dominika, Floor is a rare and special talent. She draws you in with her smile and welcoming stage presence. You re also correct Andrei, Floor loves to sing and it really show when you see her on stage. She opens her arms as if to invite us all on stage to be a part of the show. "Welcome to my musical dream". "Come and join me Please!" 🙏
Great reaction guys, as usual. Won't go into the details of this show since others have done that already. Just one recommendation that will increase your enjoyment of this show: check out the whole episodes with English subtitles. Start reacting a bit before Floor actually starts to sing. Here's an example: ruclips.net/video/lcYSd64AUw8/видео.html Floor sings "Shallow" for Emma Heesters. The before/after talk is lovely to see and you get a bit of the backstory with each performance, also abt the artist the song is sung to. The channel I linked to features 6 episodes from Beste Zangers 2019, some hardsubbed some with captions added. Cheers from Amsterdam!
For your convenience (and our enjoyment later..), I'll list the other English subbed episodes still available on that channel. When you click the link, you'll get to the part where they introduce the song Floor is going to sing. One exception: in Floor's episode she is sung to and from that episode you guys simply HAVE to watch how Emma Heesters moves Floor with one of Floor's old songs (about her mother). So here goes: - Beste Zangers 2019 afl 1 Henk Poort (eng.translation): Floor sings "Vilja Lied" ruclips.net/video/_Ya2Tb1-mmc/видео.html - Beste Zangers 2019 afl 4 Floor Jansen (eng.translation): Emma sings "Strong" ruclips.net/video/rBSD5o0wyCI/видео.html - Beste Zangers 2019 Afl 5 Ruben Annink (eng.translation burned-in subs): Floor sings "I Don't Know A Thing About Love" ruclips.net/video/UYfGtYwQ9aQ/видео.html - Beste Zangers 2019 afl 7 Tim Akkerman (eng.translation): Floor sings "Winner" ruclips.net/video/yi8NpJgZ204/видео.html
The guy who was going crazy, Rolf, it is his song, she made it more rockish and he was blown away. She blows them all away on this show, and did the same on Sing Meinen Song which is in German. Floor actually sang the phone book on a Dutch radio show on the spot and it sounded so good. Floor can sing anything.
I’m spanish and her accent is very good. Latin American accent because she learnt the lyrics by phonetics (she can’t speak spanish). There are some small pronunciation mistakes but in some parts she sounds like a native. She sings in spanish better than I speak english, so no complaints at all
My goodness! Beste Zangers episode devoted to Floor was superb. Try her version of Shallow where Lady Gaga has to renounce ownership of the song. And of course Phantom with Henke.
Must experience ALL the songs she did on this show, (thik there are 6-7) Sings in 4 different languages. My faavoite."About Love, I Don't Know Anything". (written by the young man who takes center on the couch. The band behind her now tours with her on her solo projects.
If you think this was an emotional performance, check out her cover of "Winner" from the same show. She made the signer/songwriter of the original cry. If you watch the entire season, you will find that his album with this song on it is called "Lions Don't Cry" and he comments in the first episode that he never cries any more. Well, until Floor gets him. And everybody makes the young country singer cry when it is his turn in the hot seat.
Floor is an empath and Highly Sensitive Person so whichever song in whichever style (or language) she feels it so deeply and embodies whatever it is she is doing in that moment which is just truly captivating to experience 🧡 i think that is partly why so many of us feel so drawn to her, I know as an empath and hsp too myself I just felt from the first moment that positive energy even through a screen and it gives that feeling on connection that can be unexplainable!
The original is a Salsa from Rolf Sanchez (the guy who was smiling the whole time). I tell you how i describe this great woman: (F) fantastic (L) lovely (O) outstanding (O) overwhelming (R) rocks
Floor everyday would be as acceptable as Nightwish so just keep them coming. You check out her other performances on this show and also look at some of her covers. Enjoying your reactions. Stay well. X
Dominika about Floor: "Fairy is too light, it's a little bit darker... like it's from an old land somewhere." Yes, you are right. Floor is the Valkyrie Queen. 😊
Hello from the Netherlands . you really MUST watch her first appearance on the Show! : Vilia song - Floor Jansen best singers 2019 . before this performance hardly anyone in the Netherlands knew who Floor Jansen was . not even her fellow singers on the couch . take a good look at their reaction when Floor starts to sing . she now sings especially for Henk Poort. Beste Zangers is a show in which singers from different music genres come together and sing a song FROM that person or a song that that person likes to listen to on the middle bench. now it was Rolf Sanchez 's turn . Floor does NOT speak Spanish ! especially for Rolf she learned in 24 hours how to Sing it in Spanish ! and she also adjusted the style of the song in those 24 hours. Sincerely Hollandduck
The song "WInner" off this show sung by Floor is very emotional as well. It is Tim Akkerman's song he wrote about his brother in a wheelchair, and how much he looked up to him for never complaining and his courageousness.
All the five songs of Floor were great. Also the songs in the German program : Sing meinen Song (same concept as "Beste Zangers (Best Singers). Discover an other Floor in the song Disdain of het former band Revamp. Nice reaction of both.
Most amazing funfact here is that Floor admitted that she had never sang or spoken Spanish before this song. But for Rolf Sanchez and this tv show i guess she took it as a challenge to learn on record time. And i have heard from Rolf and other Spanish speaking people,that she is singing so clear and flawless in Spanish. They simply couldnt believe that she had never spoken or sang Spanish before this. She even looks like a senorita too
Beste Zangers is a German reality show where singers sing the participant's songs (or songs which involve their career). It's impossible not to mention the featuring with Henk Poort in Phantom of the Opera. But I'd like to mention another fav which is About Love I Don't Know a Thing, truly emotional!!
You two are such a joy to watch! If you want to see a few more sides of Floor you didn't expect, try Slow Love Slow. It's a Nightwish song, but Floor performed during her live show in AFAS Amsterdam. The second one is Disdain by Re-vamp, Floors band before Nightwish.
I can really only recommend you to watch each of their performances from this show. With every song you will be surprised in the best way. She shows sides of herself that she herself did not know before.
I love the concept of this show. It doesn't have a winner - although it does have Floor performing a song called "Winner", which confused some people! Each week focuses on one person, with the rest performing songs which are meaningful to them, then they all get to do duets. There are a lot of great performances from this season, including many that don't involve Floor. Check them out sometime for your own enjoyment (and react to any involving Floor or Henk Poort)!
Floor has songs in 8 languages in yt , only in this program she sung in english , german, spanish and dutch . But she has songs in italian, latin, finnish and swedish . I think you must check her metal performance of " oh holly night " in finnish particularly this version, a very pregnant 6 months Floor ruclips.net/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/видео.html, after that you can check her and Marko ( Nightwish) singing " Ave Maria" ruclips.net/video/ut6ufu2CPNg/видео.html Greetings from Portugal
Definitely watch her do Shallow from this same series, and Mama as well. A much different, softer side of Floor and see her touch the souls of the other participants. Magic is absolutely the correct description, it is a gift from the gods without question.
Great reactions as usual. Besides Nightwish, you can also check Floor's solo performance on this show. I suggest "Mama (with English subs)", "Winner" and "Shallow".
As mentioned by other comments, check out all Floor's video solo performances from the last few years. Beste Zangers, Live in Amsterdam 2021, all her songs she has covered, and especially 'While Love Died' (That song and performance still blows me away) from an album 4 years ago. You can find most or all of them on Floor's RUclips channel. You won't believe what you see.
Me: "Floor, how many languages do you speak ?" Floor: "Yes" Actuallly, she speaks fluently Dutch, English, Swedish ... and can talk in German, Finnish, Spanish .... Actually, she is just attending on a similar show in Germany.
It was a great program,it was her big breakthrough in Holland….can you please do the phantom of the opera with Henk Poort from the same show? You wil be amezed🙃
The link Phantom Of The Opera - Floor + Henk ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html From the same show Noelia by Henk Poort ruclips.net/video/yxz27MeixgU/видео.html
Dunno why the way she said "ah-hah" made me giggle 😆 As a latina fan of Floor, I'm in love with this song, she did an amazing job with the song considering she doesn't speak Spanish at all, it shows the effort to sing for Rolf Sánchez, the author, and the one with wide smile, freaking out on the couch
After that phenomenal performance try also the other songs from Floor of this show “besteZangers 2019”: Winner, Shallow (original from Lady Gaga), Phantom of the opera (together with Henk Poort), …
You are right guys, Floor sings perfectly in any language haha, you should listen to the song ''Vilja Lied'' from this show. Floor sang it in german to honor to Henk Poort

Floor sang this song for the guy on the couch (with the big smile) who wrote and sang this song. The guy (Rolf Sanchez) is half Dutch and half from the Dominican Republic (parents) who had a hit with this song. If you want to see how versatile Floor Jansen (Nightwish) is, check (or pick) out one (or more) of a Dutch tv-show called Beste Zangers (Best Singers) season 2019: Floor Jansen & Henk Poort (opera singer) - Phantom of the Opera: ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html Floor Jansen - Vilja Lied: ruclips.net/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/видео.html&ab_channel=AVROTROS (in German) Floor & Tim Akkerman - Shallow: ruclips.net/video/3Pf7Xd3IVtU/видео.html And/or (from the same show): Henk Poort & Emma Heesters - Vivo Per Lei: ruclips.net/video/OumZnDaQINo/видео.html Emma Heesters (ex RUclipsr cover singer) - Strong: ruclips.net/video/lGYtFfgQoSQ/видео.html&ab_channel=AVROTROS (orig. by Floor for her sick mother) Btw: Beste Zangers is a Dutch reality television show. In each series a number of well-known performers alternate as the central artist who picks songs out of their own repertoire (or fav song) to be sung by the others. The original performer (sort of) judges the "covers" of their songs (own or favourite ones) done by the participants.
My favorite one of the show is "Winner", very touching. Tim Akkerman initially wrote this song for his brother, who sits in a wheelchair. And Floor sang the cover for Tim: ruclips.net/video/ttfQqnskTO8/видео.html Raise your hands 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Floor nailed all her performances on this show which had a bunch of Dutch singers. The concept is one person is chosen each night, and the others have to sing something that either is the chosen person's song or a song that is special to the one person highlighted for the evening.
You MUST TRY FLOORS cover of M83 OBLIVION from the movie OBLIVION. She recorded the track in her own studio during lockdown. It brought me to tears it's that good.
"Winner" from this show with Floor is also a winner. Hahahahaha And of course "Shallow" and "The phantom of the opera" Well every song she does on this show are magic
Floor can sing in English, Spanish, German, Dutch offcourse.haha,italian( O mio bambino caro). she also speaks swedish and learning finnish...phoeeehhh
The most excited guy on the couch wrote and performed the song, which was a big Salsa hit. Floor completely rearranged it for the show and it blew everyone away. If you're interested, you can watch most of the full 2019 episodes of this show (in Dutch with English subtitles). I have, and it's fun to see how Floor consistently surprises everyone with a number of quite varied, excellent performances. Thanks for another great reaction!
Yes I second watching the full episodes! You also get to know Floor and the other singers better. More context to each song she sings.
I concur :)
@@stpfs9281 I concurr too 🥰
I think the first episode where Henk was "the king" is the funniest, since they did'nt know Floor at all 😄
Their faces says it all 😄😄
Floor is a charismatic story teller.✌️✌️✌️✌️
Is there anything this woman can't sing? No! Floor Jansen, The Viking Metal Princess 🤘🤘
People are naturally drawn to Floor. She was an aura about her that we all feel. I’ve never connected with anyone until Floor came along. She’s very unique in a wonderful way. 🥰🥰
Well said Mick..
All Floor songs were awesome here.
Yes ......checkout all of Floor on Beste Zangers.
The guy with the huge smile is Rolf Sanchez and shes singing one of his songs in her style ......she learned spanish phonetically with her sister's help just to perform this song .
The show is best zangers ( best singers) and all the people on the show are singers ( all different styles) and each week one of them is honored by the other singers by doing one they're songs or a song that is special too them ....in this episode it was Rolf Sanchez being honored.
Floor has an amazing performance each week ....and everyone on the show gets along so beautifully, no egos or anything like that just pure joy for each others talent.
Try " WINNER" next from the show , get your tissues ready .
You right on how Floor attracts all people to her. There is a magical aura about her.
And yes her voice is the best 💥💥💥
every Beste Zangers what Floor does have something special in it....
You should do the whole season of Beste Zangers 2019 you can get subtitles with it all the singers or just Floors parts or the whole show. She is A Siren/Angel/Valkyrie. The first episode she sings Vilja Lied and surprises most of the other singers who haven't heard her before.
You need to keep checking this programme as Floor also sings a duet with Henk Poort singing Phantom Of The Opera which is sensational, Floor also sings a cover of the Lady Gaga song Shallow, again it is sensational, please react to them soon, best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Ditto!!
Yes for sure they must check that song also
The Phantom with Henk in Beste Zangers is a must. Impressive performance.. You’d love it.
The song Winner from Tim. Must see
I concur. All of her songs from this show.
💜..Love from Holland 🇳🇱🤩⚡..and please Y'all..keep on rolling that beautifull Nightwish Train 🔥😄✌🌻🙏🏼
There are no words for Floor, in any language 😉
There a lot more of Floor in Beste Zangers and Floor Solo in Amsterdam. Great Floor as ever. we love her.
Floor can sing in 8 different languages and I think she can really converse in 4 or 5.
This woman is a talent slingshot, it doesn't stop at singing.
In the same show she also sings phantom of the opera with the older gentleman, Henk Port. He is the original dutch phantom.
This is a must see. Floor probably comes in this song to the myth of being able to let glass with her voice shatter at the closest.
But you should also hear Marko sing solo.
He can sing really well. I mean better than good. Fantastic is an understatement.
If Pink Floyd tells you something, you might recognize this song.
Marko sing High Hopes in Nightwish style. Pls react to this. You will be blown out of your socks, what a voice he has.
And Emppu comes with 2 outstanding guitar solos.
High Hopes live
ruclips.net/video/4oEDnVeYYyM/видео.html
At least her Swedish is amazingly good:
ruclips.net/video/YrjyB5zrEY0/видео.html
Well, Marko did win season 2 of Masked Singer Suomi, so I guess saying he can sing really well may be a bit of an understatement.
please do floors live at amsterdam face your demons from her official channel. it's one of her greatest performances you'll love it
I concur! That performance is storytelling Floor on top of her game
This show in 2019 at last introduced the Dutch public to their own Floor Jansen. It featured 7 singers and each show one sat on couch and other six each sang them a song that was important to them. Floor also sings Vilja Lied in German, Shallow, Winner and I Don't Know A Thing About Love in English and Mama in Dutch. She duets in Phantom of the Opera. Plus Shallow as a duet but personally prefer her solo version.
Her father said in an interview that when Floor performed for the first time in front of an audience (I don't remember how old he said she was, I think around 10 years old), he could not recognise his own daughter anymore. From one moment to the other she transformed from the shy, bullied, damaged, withdrawn soul she was, into a shining star, full of confidence. It is in her blood. She must have been created for performing. I use the word performing, because Floor also spent a few years training on the art of performing, not only on her voice.
And it shows. She never just sings a song. Every movement, every facial expression is a part of her presentation of the song.
@@NickBR57 Because she IS the song at that moment. That is her secret. Karsu has the same treat.
@@ronaldderooij1774 👍
Beste zangers is the show that made me discover Floor. The song that blew me out of my socks was "Shallow", after that I checked all her contributions (Vilja Lied, Mama, Que se siente, About love I don't know a thing, Winner, Shallow again but as a duet with Tim Akkerman, one of the other particpants, and Phantom of the opera with Henk Poort) and I was sold. After that I checked Nightwish and the rest is history. And Henk Poort got a real special place in my heart with songs like Vivo per lei, Sound of silence, Noelia, Despacito (apart of course from singing Phantom of the Opera with Floor).
Floors vocals are like her stature she is strong and tall like a man but caring and Beautiful as well. Her music is the same strong and powerful like a man but also caring and soft like a Woman. I hear what you talk about it reminds me of and old style Folk music story teller of ancient times and I do at times pick this up in her singing. But Floor is that and much, much more.
In the same tv show, she also sang classical music, the Vilja Lied by famous Austrian-Hungarian operetta composer Franz Lehar, in German.
I agree, one of my favorites.
This is song by Rolg Sanchez, the guy with the broader smile than my opportunities. There's something mystical in Floor's voice, that take you in (Valkyrie!). I'm in and so are many of us. Strange!?
She have sing in 8 languages by now: English, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, German, Italian and Latin.
Yes Floor can sing anything. Commenters have joked she could sing the phonebook. During a Dutch radio appearance to promote and perform her new single Fire the host asked her to actually sing the phonebook. Being such a fun and cool person she agreed and of course killed it. ruclips.net/video/CLUr1DLwEQg/видео.html.
Floor's performance on Beste Zangers was a tour de force that really shows her vocal abilities. Much of her solo work has been a direct result of her exposure on this show. Definitely need to checkout her cover of Shallow from this show. So amazing.
it's like you say, it makes me happy when Floor sings. But that's also what happens, I always get happier when I hear Floor sing. And I think that is the case with LOTS of people. Nice response again and there are many more songs with "de beste zangers". Until the next Nightwish or Floor or so many others she sang along to. The list is long.
Her voice is totally from magic land! It's amazing.
She becomes whatever she performs, in a way that is exceedingly rare. There are very few vocalists I know of who can bring the kind of genuine performance, and emotional content that we get from Floor every single time. She also just generally has this warm, even maternal kind of energy. She's just instantly likable.
I hear you with trying to "explain" what it is about Floor, but in struggling with words (we all do it!) you hit ALL the salient points. There's just *something* about her, maybe more than one something, that just absolutely captures your heart and soul.
I heard this song was emitted in Peru and it made nr 1 on the hit list that same night... But she did not go that far from her metal routine: She built up energy along the verses until a great crescendo at the last verses. And she allowed the guitar player a nice solo.
Floor Jansen Ladies and Gentlemen !!!!!
Nuff Said !!!
NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
Floor is incredible .
She becomes the song and you get every bit of her from it
Floor took a salsa song and created this... That's why Rolf is so impressed. It is his song and she made it her own.
This show has a guest among themselves every week and the others choose a song to sing to them, an original from the guest or the band or that are meaningful to that person.
That night was Rolf's...
This is the original song ruclips.net/video/zRXmv4HLFfQ/видео.html
These are all singers,
and no competition,
A Dutch music show!
They always sing a song for the person sitting on the Couch next to the Host Presenter.
Host JAN SMIT is also a Singer and lives in my Village VOLENDAM around the corner.
*FLOOR* Means Flower 🌸
FLOOR is a
Dutch Girls 💗 name.
Always nice to know 🥰
This is on the beautiful Island of IBIZA (SPAIN) 🇪🇸

Great comment toppy 🔝
Please 🙏 more
BESTE ZANGERS.
Love from the Netherlands
🇳🇱 🌷 🇳🇱 🙋🏼♀️
her first performance on that show was Vilja Lied and its great to see the others react to her for the first time :D
There are many singers who can sing a song, there are very few who can make you feel a song, there are even fewer who can take someone else's song and make you feel what that person felt. From everything I've seen, it doesn't matter who wrote the song, when Floor performs it, she makes you feel the emotion behind the song.
Floor has so many sides - I am always stunned by discovering another one. From screaming growling demon in "Disdain" by her former band ReVamp (live at Graspop 2010) to soft tender Floor singing "Shallow" in this show Beste Zangers and all between.
Great reaction guys. Floor could make Klingon sound beautiful. The animated guy with the white and black shirt, Rolf Sanchez, is the original performer and composer of this song but his was a salsa version! You've already reacted to Nightwish's version of Phantom Of The Opera so maybe check out Floor and Henk Poort doing their version on this very show! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
well, she sure made the Dutch phone book sound lovely.. :)
jIQochbe' !
Floor has the “X-Factor”! 💜
On Beste Zangers, besides hearing that magnificent voice, I love seeing the other singers react to her. Only one other singer even knew who she was. Metal is not played on the radio in the Netherlands so even most people in her own country did not know her. Now they do. Her version on Shallow hit #1 on the Netherlands iTunes chart. Her first song on the show is Vilja Lied. She sings it in German with a little added spice to Henk Port. Henk’s Mother sang it all the time to his Father so it means a lot to him. The reactions on the faces of the other singers is priceless hearing this Metal songstress for the first time. 😄🤘 ruclips.net/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/видео.html
I'm pretty certain you guys would both love everything on her channel. Fantastic reaction.
Apart from her performances in this show, to be admired on her RUclips channel, check out the covers/tributes she did during COVID (to keep her voice in shape)!
My favs: Alone (cover of the Heart cover) and Adagio (Laura Fabian tribute) Tissues ready?
me too
Adagio is my favourite and How's the Heart accoustic
@@louisminten7889 ah, yes, How’s the heart is one of her most amazing performances (and Troy’s)🙌
She can sing it all :-)
Floor cannot speak Spanish but said she had to learn the song phonetically and had to understand the meaning of the words to inject the emotion into the song. She is trying to learn more Spanish in the hope of being able to sing in Spanish on the Nightwish South American tour. All of her songs on Beste Zangers were remarkable but especially Shallow (lady Gaga cover) and Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort who was the Original Dutch Phantom with over 1000 performances.
Incidentally you hear the good singers can sing the telephone directory and make it sound good well Floor actually did that recently. Search for 'Floor Jansen singing the Phone Book'
I love watching the two of you with your reactions. You are so kind and respectful to each other and the music. I think Floor is very empathic and she does explain that she only sings songs she can really 'feel'. I think that is one of the reasons it is so 'magical' when she sings. It's like she puts all her heart and soul into it and tells you a story.
Great reaction! I was waiting for you to click the link for the next video of her performing Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort. You would be in for a totally different sound from her. I think what Dominika is talking about is what might be called "Empathetic". Floor sings with such feeling, almost all who listen to her feel exactly how she feels. It's always an emotional roller coaster with Floor, she can make you excited, happy, sad, scream and cry all in the same song! You guys should also check out her Channel and see some of her covers, her new solo music and her Fan Fridays videos she did (those are very funny showing another side of Floor).
This show has great idea.
Several singers from different genres sings each other's songs every week: everyone tries opera for the opera guy, metal for Floor, etc.
This is why you'll see Floor do this for that guy with huge smile and she tries many other genres (kills each, a shocker!).
After you hear Shallow and want to say "Lady Gaga, who?", no one will blame you.
It never gets old, huh. Great reaction. You need to try her and Troy acoustic version of "Hows the Heart".
Yes, please
Agree, yes please
Every single song Floor does in this show - 😮
I've heard her sing in ... English, Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish, Finnish (pregnant at the time of recording), Swedish, Latin ... it wouldn't surprise me to learn she has sung in other languages. Her voice transcends language and carries us on a journey even when the words escape us, somehow the emotion seems to pull us along.
Floor does not speak Spanish. She learned this song for all of her Spanish speaking fans around the world. You should check all of the Floor performances from this magical show. Floor sings in Dutch, German, and English. She does many different genres on this show. You will love them all. Floor does kind of add some rockiness to her versions of these covers.
You are so correct Dominika, Floor is a rare and special talent. She draws you in with her smile and welcoming stage presence. You re also correct Andrei, Floor loves to sing and it really show when you see her on stage.
She opens her arms as if to invite us all on stage to be a part of the show. "Welcome to my musical dream". "Come and join me Please!" 🙏
Great reaction guys, as usual. Won't go into the details of this show since others have done that already. Just one recommendation that will increase your enjoyment of this show: check out the whole episodes with English subtitles. Start reacting a bit before Floor actually starts to sing. Here's an example: ruclips.net/video/lcYSd64AUw8/видео.html Floor sings "Shallow" for Emma Heesters. The before/after talk is lovely to see and you get a bit of the backstory with each performance, also abt the artist the song is sung to. The channel I linked to features 6 episodes from Beste Zangers 2019, some hardsubbed some with captions added. Cheers from Amsterdam!
For your convenience (and our enjoyment later..), I'll list the other English subbed episodes still available on that channel. When you click the link, you'll get to the part where they introduce the song Floor is going to sing. One exception: in Floor's episode she is sung to and from that episode you guys simply HAVE to watch how Emma Heesters moves Floor with one of Floor's old songs (about her mother).
So here goes:
- Beste Zangers 2019 afl 1 Henk Poort (eng.translation): Floor sings "Vilja Lied" ruclips.net/video/_Ya2Tb1-mmc/видео.html
- Beste Zangers 2019 afl 4 Floor Jansen (eng.translation): Emma sings "Strong" ruclips.net/video/rBSD5o0wyCI/видео.html
- Beste Zangers 2019 Afl 5 Ruben Annink (eng.translation burned-in subs): Floor sings "I Don't Know A Thing About Love" ruclips.net/video/UYfGtYwQ9aQ/видео.html
- Beste Zangers 2019 afl 7 Tim Akkerman (eng.translation): Floor sings "Winner" ruclips.net/video/yi8NpJgZ204/видео.html
The guy who was going crazy, Rolf, it is his song, she made it more rockish and he was blown away. She blows them all away on this show, and did the same on Sing Meinen Song which is in German. Floor actually sang the phone book on a Dutch radio show on the spot and it sounded so good. Floor can sing anything.
Hi beautiful people,
Please continue de beste zangers journey, you won,'t regret it, for sure!!
Lots of love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱💚
I’m spanish and her accent is very good. Latin American accent because she learnt the lyrics by phonetics (she can’t speak spanish). There are some small pronunciation mistakes but in some parts she sounds like a native. She sings in spanish better than I speak english, so no complaints at all
Very interesting. Many thanks for the insight.
My goodness! Beste Zangers episode devoted to Floor was superb.
Try her version of Shallow where Lady Gaga has to renounce ownership of the song.
And of course Phantom with Henke.
Must experience ALL the songs she did on this show, (thik there are 6-7) Sings in 4 different languages. My faavoite."About Love, I Don't Know Anything". (written by the young man who takes center on the couch. The band behind her now tours with her on her solo projects.
If you think this was an emotional performance, check out her cover of "Winner" from the same show. She made the signer/songwriter of the original cry. If you watch the entire season, you will find that his album with this song on it is called "Lions Don't Cry" and he comments in the first episode that he never cries any more. Well, until Floor gets him.
And everybody makes the young country singer cry when it is his turn in the hot seat.
Floor is an empath and Highly Sensitive Person so whichever song in whichever style (or language) she feels it so deeply and embodies whatever it is she is doing in that moment which is just truly captivating to experience 🧡 i think that is partly why so many of us feel so drawn to her, I know as an empath and hsp too myself I just felt from the first moment that positive energy even through a screen and it gives that feeling on connection that can be unexplainable!
This Goddess can sing anything she wants
The original is a Salsa from Rolf Sanchez (the guy who was smiling the whole time). I tell you how i describe this great woman:
(F) fantastic (L) lovely (O) outstanding (O) overwhelming (R) rocks
More of this ❤️🤘
Floor everyday would be as acceptable as Nightwish so just keep them coming. You check out her other performances on this show and also look at some of her covers. Enjoying your reactions. Stay well. X
Floor speaks 5 languages. Dutch, Finnish, German, English, Swedish
Dominika about Floor: "Fairy is too light, it's a little bit darker... like it's from an old land somewhere."
Yes, you are right. Floor is the Valkyrie Queen. 😊
Hello from the Netherlands .
you really MUST watch her first appearance on the Show! : Vilia song - Floor Jansen best singers 2019 .
before this performance hardly anyone in the Netherlands knew who Floor Jansen was .
not even her fellow singers on the couch . take a good look at their reaction when Floor starts to sing . she now sings especially for Henk Poort.
Beste Zangers is a show in which singers from different music genres come together and sing a song FROM that person or a song that that person likes to listen to on the middle bench. now it was Rolf Sanchez 's turn .
Floor does NOT speak Spanish !
especially for Rolf she learned in 24 hours how to Sing it in Spanish !
and she also adjusted the style of the song in those 24 hours.
Sincerely Hollandduck
Her voice touches the soul❣️
Can recommend to do all her songs from Beste Zangers especially ‘Shallow’ and ‘The Phantom of the Opera ‘
Floor is magical
The guy on the sofa with the smile on his face is Rolf Sanchez.
The song "WInner" off this show sung by Floor is very emotional as well. It is Tim Akkerman's song he wrote about his brother in a wheelchair, and how much he looked up to him for never complaining and his courageousness.
All the five songs of Floor were great. Also the songs in the German program : Sing meinen Song (same concept as "Beste Zangers (Best Singers). Discover an other Floor in the song Disdain of het former band Revamp. Nice reaction of both.
Most amazing funfact here is that Floor admitted that she had never sang or spoken Spanish before this song. But for Rolf Sanchez and this tv show i guess she took it as a challenge to learn on record time. And i have heard from Rolf and other Spanish speaking people,that she is singing so clear and flawless in Spanish. They simply couldnt believe that she had never spoken or sang Spanish before this. She even looks like a senorita too
very nice. All her Zangers music is great. Shallow is another good one.
Beste Zangers is a German reality show where singers sing the participant's songs (or songs which involve their career). It's impossible not to mention the featuring with Henk Poort in Phantom of the Opera. But I'd like to mention another fav which is About Love I Don't Know a Thing, truly emotional!!
You two are such a joy to watch!
If you want to see a few more sides of Floor you didn't expect, try Slow Love Slow.
It's a Nightwish song, but Floor performed during her live show in AFAS Amsterdam.
The second one is Disdain by Re-vamp, Floors band before Nightwish.
I can really only recommend you to watch each of their performances from this show. With every song you will be surprised in the best way. She shows sides of herself that she herself did not know before.
I love the concept of this show. It doesn't have a winner - although it does have Floor performing a song called "Winner", which confused some people! Each week focuses on one person, with the rest performing songs which are meaningful to them, then they all get to do duets. There are a lot of great performances from this season, including many that don't involve Floor. Check them out sometime for your own enjoyment (and react to any involving Floor or Henk Poort)!
When you said thats me in the beginning, she is singing his song and she doesnt speak but sing is obviosly not a problem 😊
Floor has songs in 8 languages in yt , only in this program she sung in english , german, spanish and dutch . But she has songs in italian, latin, finnish and swedish . I think you must check her metal performance of " oh holly night " in finnish particularly this version, a very pregnant 6 months Floor
ruclips.net/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/видео.html, after that you can check her and Marko ( Nightwish) singing " Ave Maria"
ruclips.net/video/ut6ufu2CPNg/видео.html
Greetings from Portugal
Definitely watch her do Shallow from this same series, and Mama as well. A much different, softer side of Floor and see her touch the souls of the other participants. Magic is absolutely the correct description, it is a gift from the gods without question.
Great reactions as usual.
Besides Nightwish, you can also check Floor's solo performance on this show. I suggest "Mama (with English subs)", "Winner" and "Shallow".
You are soo sweet together!
You can see the love in youre eyes.
Floor did 2 solo songs fire and storm 2 amazing songs
As mentioned by other comments, check out all Floor's video solo performances from the last few years. Beste Zangers, Live in Amsterdam 2021, all her songs she has covered, and especially 'While Love Died' (That song and performance still blows me away) from an album 4 years ago. You can find most or all of them on Floor's RUclips channel. You won't believe what you see.
The song is Rolfs, the guy on the couch.
All her youtube covers are gold also
Me: "Floor, how many languages do you speak ?"
Floor: "Yes"
Actuallly, she speaks fluently Dutch, English, Swedish ... and can talk in German, Finnish, Spanish ....
Actually, she is just attending on a similar show in Germany.
Floor no maneja en absoluto el idioma español/castellano; "Qué Se Siente" la sacó 100% por "fonética"; sin ninguna duda!!!
It was a great program,it was her big breakthrough in Holland….can you please do the phantom of the opera with Henk Poort from the same show? You wil be amezed🙃

Dunno why the way she said "ah-hah" made me giggle 😆
As a latina fan of Floor, I'm in love with this song, she did an amazing job with the song considering she doesn't speak Spanish at all, it shows the effort to sing for Rolf Sánchez, the author, and the one with wide smile, freaking out on the couch
After that phenomenal performance try also the other songs from Floor of this show “besteZangers 2019”: Winner, Shallow (original from Lady Gaga), Phantom of the opera (together with Henk Poort), …
"Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn!" - To quote an elven queen :)
You are right guys, Floor sings perfectly in any language haha, you should listen to the song ''Vilja Lied'' from this show. Floor sang it in german to honor to Henk Poort
Here are her BZ songs and her Quarantine covers.

Floor sang this song for the guy on the couch (with the big smile) who wrote and sang this song. The guy (Rolf Sanchez) is half Dutch and half from the Dominican Republic (parents) who had a hit with this song.
If you want to see how versatile Floor Jansen (Nightwish) is, check (or pick) out one (or more) of a Dutch tv-show called Beste Zangers (Best Singers) season 2019:
Floor Jansen & Henk Poort (opera singer) - Phantom of the Opera: ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html
Floor Jansen - Vilja Lied: ruclips.net/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/видео.html&ab_channel=AVROTROS (in German)
Floor & Tim Akkerman - Shallow: ruclips.net/video/3Pf7Xd3IVtU/видео.html
And/or (from the same show):
Henk Poort & Emma Heesters - Vivo Per Lei: ruclips.net/video/OumZnDaQINo/видео.html
Emma Heesters (ex RUclipsr cover singer) - Strong: ruclips.net/video/lGYtFfgQoSQ/видео.html&ab_channel=AVROTROS (orig. by Floor for her sick mother)
Btw: Beste Zangers is a Dutch reality television show. In each series a number of well-known performers alternate as the central artist who picks songs out of their own repertoire (or fav song) to be sung by the others. The original performer (sort of) judges the "covers" of their songs (own or favourite ones) done by the participants.
My favorite one of the show is "Winner", very touching. Tim Akkerman initially wrote this song for his brother, who sits in a wheelchair. And Floor sang the cover for Tim:
ruclips.net/video/ttfQqnskTO8/видео.html
Raise your hands 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Floor nailed all her performances on this show which had a bunch of Dutch singers. The concept is one person is chosen each night, and the others have to sing something that either is the chosen person's song or a song that is special to the one person highlighted for the evening.
I could go on forever, so I say only this: she's the One.
You MUST TRY FLOORS cover of M83 OBLIVION from the movie OBLIVION.
She recorded the track in her own studio during lockdown.
It brought me to tears it's that good.
I like this song. But my 2 favorites from this show are "Shallow" and her Duett with Henk Poort "The Phantom of the Opera"!
hoping to see you two doing much more floor/nightwish songs, it's just epic! 😉👌🔝
Every song she sings on that show is a masterpiece
your addiction is now irreversible !
"Winner" from this show with Floor is also a winner. Hahahahaha
And of course "Shallow" and "The phantom of the opera" Well every song she does on this show are magic
Floor can sing in English, Spanish, German, Dutch offcourse.haha,italian( O mio bambino caro). she also speaks swedish and learning finnish...phoeeehhh
