Floor is the best! She can sing ANYTHING!!! My favorite 🤩
What is so special about her is, that she uses her incredible versatility, to color up her vocals with so much emotion.
Every performance she did on this show, is really good. Many different genres and she nails it every time.
She calls herself a vocal nerd and loves to learn new styles and techniques.All of them profound, or even masterful.
In my opinion, there can't be more than a hand full of singers right now, who can keep up with her, male, or female.
I think I’ll agree with you as soon as I hear more of her music. It’s good to know that she really works her craft. I always encourage my students to learn other styles. It will only improve your musicianship and expression of your own songs.
Another thing that is really special about Floor and rarely mentionned: She sings "naturally", whatever she does it's Floor, it's herself - not playing "a role" like many singers do on stage or during their performances. Even with the most complicated Nightwish songs she always has her little smile, the eyes, the interactions between the musicians - a modest, humble giant, as if she's just singing at home for her closest friends ...
Floor Jansen is most versatile singer in the world for me 😍🎩🌺 and this cover is heartbreathing💖
Floor is very versatile. You can hear her sing opera in that show, just search "vilja lied" or "phantom of the opera"... and then there is nightwish, where she kicks ass like hell.
Check out the live videos from wacken 2013. Most people do "Ghost love score" first, because there she shows various vocal styles. But you can pick every song from that live show you want, they are all good. I also like "Everdream", "Storytime", "Song of myself" or "Romanticide".
Enjoy ;)
Cool! Thanks Sebastian. I definitely have Nightwish on the list. I want to see how well she does. Hard rock and heavy metal is how I got started before going on tour either all of these R&B groups. I’m sure she will be impressive.
Oh yeah, Storytime, I love how she uses both her chest voice and head voice there. And it's also a great song :)
Romanticide is a tiny bit heavier song, but not too heavy.
And Ghost Love Score.... That's a true masterpiece out of this world.
@@HollywoodVocalCoach When watching Nightwish, make sure you watch live versions from Wacken 2013. Best sound quality, best cameras, cut, mixing, etc. And Floor without tattoos back then :D
I would also recommend to watch her other performances from Beste Zangers. It's about 6 songs, I think. Do you know anything about this show?
Floor's versatility can be seen in Beste Zangers where she sings various styles and even different languages :)
But if I should pick just one song, it would be probably her old stuff from Revamp: ruclips.net/video/SNPesLFTnUg/видео.html
Death growls, chest voice and operatic voice, all 3 in 1 song :)
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Hey: I (and think a lot of fans too) would also really really like to see your reaction to Floors' other performances on "Beste Zangers 2019" (as mentioned from SebastianD). You will enjoy it. Promised! :)
Thank you for reacting to this solo performance of our Dutch metal queen Floor Jansen! I hope you'll dig deeper, searching her vocal performances both in her main genre (she is the main singer of the well known Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish) and also in the Beste Zangers 2019 TV show from Netherlands, where she performed songs from other genres as this one, in several languages, showing her incredible versatility.
I did watch a video of her with Nightwish. I wish I could find the full episodes of Beste Zangers 2019. I’ll have to do a YT search. She is an excellent vocalist.
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Some tips: there is the official channel AVROTROS ruclips.net/user/avro you'll find there all the songs, but nothing translated in English, and no context. In 2019 Denise Hofs ruclips.net/user/NiiiZovideos did En translations for all episodes, but most of them were banned by AVROTROS, so she uploaded a part of them on Daily Motion. You'll find also translated materials from the show in Jenniezelf's channel ruclips.net/user/jenniezelfvideos. There is also a playlist of all Floor Jansen's official performances on the show, made by Floor herself (start listen it in reverse order..): ruclips.net/p/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo
@@HollywoodVocalCoach And here is Denise Hofs's DM channel: www.dailymotion.com/xpinkeu
Love,love Floor 💓
I’m loving her more and more too!
Do consider that this performance was pretty much just for fun. If you wanna see her do her day-to-day job watch Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken 2013.
I’ll definitely watch it!
More Floor Jansen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm still waiting for that Lady Gaga cover of Ghost Love Score by Nightwish LOL!!!! :)
That would awesome!
@@HollywoodVocalCoach sorry as much I like Lady Gaga it would be an absolut downstep for the Song.
I truly belive there is no way to sing Ghost love score better then NW did it at Wacken 2013.
does not happen
I just posted a comment under the original 'Shallow' video, challenging Lady Gaga to sing Ghost Love Score :D
Hope the joke becomes serious one day! Lady Gaga's vocals are awesome but I really would love big pop-stars to admit the greatness of singers such as Floor.
That should proven if Stephanie is a real great singer. BTW it will be nice we she get out the lousy music business and come to Europe to develope het versatility.
Did Her Homework !!!! She also sang in Dutch, German and Spanish on this show. The accent is Dutch. The show is Dutch TV, " Beste Zangers 2019 ", Before the show aired not many people in Holland knew who she was. No idea she's the lead vocalists in one of the most popular Metal Bands in the world ( Nightwish ).They don't play much Metal on the radio, mostly Pop. In most European cities she can't walk down the street without drawing a crowd. Nothing more amazing than Irony ! Check out what she sounds like with the band.
I caught one of her videos. She is an incredible talent. Is it common for Dutch singers to sing in English? She does it quite well!
@@HollywoodVocalCoach RUclips search....Floor Beste Zangers ( a Dutch TV Show that will have you slack jawed. Singers sing each others songs and put their spin on them ). She sings in English, German, Dutch and Spanish ( Spanish from memory ). In Holland they play very little metal, very heavy on Pop. No one knew who she was in her country. In most of Europe she draws a crowd walking down the street. Lead vocalist in the most popular ( sales ) Metal Band in Europe. Ain't IRONY great. P.S. they are starting to play Metal in Holland.
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Generally most people (certainly younger generation) in the Netherlands can speak/write English as this is generally taught in school for at least 2 years (but this might have changed these days!) also movies/tv isn't dubbed but subtitled, as for musicians it certainly isn't uncommon for them to write songs in English as this of course will have a wider reach.
If you are interested in doing more reactions on Floor Jansen and her versatility in singing then I think definitely Beste Zangers is a good but certainly can recommend her with her current band Nightwish, Ghost love Score, Romanticide are examples which are great to start with, definitely would recommend the live versions over the studio versions.
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Strongly agree with 1337nano below. In Hollywood, do you ever try and watch the Eurovision Song Contest? It was cancelled due to Covid-19 this year, and replaced with the "Shine a Light" Special. But all of the presenters spoke entirely in English (this was pre-planned), and almost all of the interviews with the performers were in English, as well as almost all of the songs being in English. Also, virtually all European-wide common events for young people are in English, (e.g. the annual European Youth Parliament), as well as most of the presentations and press conferences by the European Commission, and especially addresses to the entire European Union by the President, Ursula von der Leyen. I'm hoping one day to see a "Super Bowl" of singing, pitting the MTV Awards vs the Eurovision Song Contest! What do you think, good idea?
@@HollywoodVocalCoach If you want to see more from "beste zangers" I recommend this channel ; ruclips.net/user/jenniezelf
Here you can find a bit longer versions with some talking before and after the performance with English subtitles, so you will be able to understand
what they are talking. Makes it more interesting to watch.
I love Floor , I love Nightwish !!! 😍😍💕💕🤘🤘
After watching a few videos, I need to go to a Nightwish concert!
Very soft voice good to hear.♥Love it.
React to Nightwish, "Ghost Love Score", Wacken 2013. Floor Jansen joined Nightwish as their female lead vocalist almost 8 years ago, and made Nightwish complete. The band leader, and mastermind of Nightwish, Tuomas Holopainen has said Floor is the 3rd and last female lead vocalist of Nightwish.
GLS is her favorite song to sing. It gives her the possibility to show her versatility in one song.
Greetings from Helsinki Finland!
Stay safe!
Was she famous before she joined Nightwish?
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Not as famous as now with Nightwish but known to a certain extent. She had 2 bands before Nightwish. After Forever and Revamp. She started as a female front vocalist at the age 16. So she had 16 years of experience when she joined Nightwish at the age of 32. She replaced the second Nightwish lead vocalist mid US tour and had 48h to learn the setlist! The rest is history.
Amazingly she wasn't very well known even in her own country, Holland, before she took part in this TV show Beste Zangers a year or two ago. Now they know her! She had a series of concerts in Holland after BZ, all sold out. And Dutch people found Nightwish too. Two Nightwish concerts due later this year in Holland were sold out fast.
@@HollywoodVocalCoach She was well known in Metal circles. She did attend the Rock Academy in the Netherlands and also studied some classical theatre and opera on the side, so she can also do a lovely soprano voice. (She can reach a controlled E6) Before she joined Nightwish, she also worked as a vocal coach. Perhaps her greatest talent is her control and the fact that she can switch styles mid- sentence in a song if needed. This is often used to great effect in Nighwish songs.
@@HollywoodVocalCoach I'd rather say she was known in a small insider circle of metal geeks from her first band After Forever and for some participation within Arjen Lucassens "Ayreon". When Nightwish asked her to join the band in the middle of a huge tour after Anette Olzon left she just came back from a Burnout and had almost no time to learn the songs - still she dig it from the first evening! Of course then she got some reputation from the many fans of the bands, but not outside of this restrictec circle.
The time when she was in "Beste Zangers" almost no one (even in her own country) really knew Floor... it was like "ah yes and there is a metal singer as well". People were so surprised of her performances that all of the titles went directly to the top chart positions. But if you check internet.... you won't find reaction videos or other stuff about/with Floor dating from earlier than this TV-Show.
Thats the Queen of Metal you are reacting to. Start with her day job with Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013. You gonna go crazy..... thats a metal global superstar right there
It’s good to see metal is still alive and well out there! I’ll give Nightwish a listen!
This is like a masterclass of how to sing emotional ballads. Floor's technique is so unique that she can easily reach our heart and soul by her voice. Her capability to shift her tones and textures rapidly is just phenomenal. Excellent performance. Greetings from Finland!
I agree with everything you say. Many singers try to reach the same level of expression and really story tell a song. Floor has reached that exceptional level and it’s easy to see why so many people rave about her.
Hollywood Vocal Coach Yes, beside all of her talent, technique and experience, her best asset is the skill to reach our heart and soul with these tools. IMHO she's the physically, technically and emotionally best singer out there. She's at the same level as some of the greatest performers of all time. That's why so many of us are so much in love with her. 😉
S
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Floor doesn't sing the song - she IS the song - whatever she sings.
You have so much to delve into with Floor and Nightwish. Ghost love score from Waken is most people's starting point.
I’m watching it today 😬
Masterpiece of subtle and control
Floor Jansen is the front-woman for the Symphonic Metal band Nightwish. She and they have a huge following. Catch her in her element at a live Wacken 2013 concert in front of 82,000 fans. The audio and video are excellent as they were cutting a blu-ray of the show. She demonstrates several different styles in the song Ghost Love Score: ruclips.net/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/видео.html
Cool! Thanks for the link Skeeze! I’ll definitely check it out!
Hello HVC, loved your reaction. Now its time for another emotional song from the same show. Please react to "About love i don't know a thing" by Floor Jansen
Guys, I love how you look at the technique and still manage to really enjoy the songs.
If you want to enjoy another great performance by a female Dutch artist, check out Jealous by Davina Michelle.
If you don’t know her yet; she wowed Pink with her version of “What about us”, which led her to be Pink’s supporting act at her last concert in the Netherlands.
Floor from Holland is the best ❤❤❤❤
Oh mans!!!! You both reacted to the symphonic metal queen Floor Jansen!!! She is in Nightwish! She is capable of the impossible!! You guys should react to Nightwish - "Ghost love score" live at Wacken 2013 and then every song from that concert! and you have more to come, after that!!!! Cheers guys
Everyone keeps bringing up Ghost Love Score! I almost don’t want to watch it so I can react to it the first time! 😜
@@HollywoodVocalCoach - Yes you should just do a 1st reaction video, don't watch before that please. You will be surprised for sure. It will be a nice experience vocally and musically. Cheers guys.
This show was filmed in Ibiza,Spain, I believe.
Oh I love her rendition! She blends beautifully with the lush texture of the music. Thanks for reacting to her!
She sang beautifully and it was unique to her style!
We can make this easy. Name a vocal style & someone can name a song Floor/Nightwish performs that matches that 🤙🔥
@@johnsmith_1942 To be fair i bet she can, but since she doesn't compose nightwish music and Metal Mozart (Tuomas Holopainen) does there is no rap in Symphonic METAL lol, but there are parts in nightwish songs where she "Talk sings" instead of singing properly that sounds almost like a hip-hop part over a metal instrumental, still not to be compared to the greats of hip hop, but the fact that she can is a fact :) Example being "one of begining parts of The Greatest show on earth" ;) and end of Romanticide where she goes back and forth with Marko Hietala on lyrics ;)
@@AudriusZu if you want to see an opera singer doing rap
Maria fiselier lose yourself beste zangers 2018 enjoy lol
@@johnsmith_1942 something you might like an opera singer doing rap
Maria fiselier lose yourself beste zangers 2018
@@johnsmith_1942 Is rap even to be considered music? It has rhythm, ok, but where's the rest? It certainly has some musical ingredients, but this is like asking a great chef to make you fried eggs... Don't get me wrong, I got nothing against rap, especially if the lyrics are great, but you're comparing apples and oranges 😉
@@richardhall6034 Yup loved that.
And guys ...... she is sitting down, and able of all of this! It shows how skilled she is, and it is an octave higher than lady gaga’s
yes, it is outside, as other people have stated, feel free to react to anything from the show.......one episode you can see the rain coming in from a leak in the tent, but the show went on!!!!! great reaction, i like how you guys went from full screen, then back........great stuff !!!! Floor is amazing, and sooooo humble....
on this program she sings in i think 4 other languages.........just breathtaking.
I will definitely look for more videos from this show. So far it’s been all Floor. I’m sure the other singers must be just as talented.
This is way better than the original one!!!
This show is a Dutch program.............7 singers of different genres......One singer is featured each week....Where the other singers sing one of the featured singer's songs or songs that are part of the featured singer's repertoire or genre.........At the end of the night the featured singer decides which performance moved them the most..........Each season they have different artists. The back up band is incredible.
This show was shot on Ibiza island off the coast of Spain. Floor is Dutch and speaks 3 languages fluently. Dutch, Swedish, and English.
And very good Finnish to !!
She is super talented!
You forgot German. In an interview she said she speaks German as well. It is common for the Dutch to know both German and English.
@@billattercliffe8655 well we are a mixed breed of polyglots
You have to check out the best vocalist from down under John Farnham singing the Beatles song "Help" live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. His vocals are crazy and he's an entertainer, the way he interacts with the crowd is awesome. John Farnham is an Aussie icon.
NIGHTWISH , GHOST LOVE SCORE (LIVE WACKEN 2013) PLEASE . (floor jansen , the besr female singer of this time ) .
You just witnessed a glimpse of what that woman is capable of. She's a powerhouse live on stage, Greeks called women like her Sirens.
So either keep on reacting to her live songs on the Dutch TV show "Beste Zangers" that made her popular in her home country or switch to the live concerts with her symphonic metal band Nightwish, whom she joined in 2012.
Nightwish, founded in 1996, with their first lead singer Tarja Turunen (1996-2005) was inspiring alot of bands, including Evanescence.
Floor Jansen is the incarnation of Jack-In-All-Trades in singing in an awesome manner, easily adopting all the different styles the band went through within the last 25 years.
@Marcus Aurelius Hey Marcus, wouldn't it be nice to hear what L.Gaga thinks of this rendition ? curious
I prefer Valkyrie hahahah
I was about to say that there were some similarities between Nightwish and Evanescence. Whatever happened to Tarja? Is she still singing?
@@HollywoodVocalCoach similarities ? very doubtful,musically & vocally NW is on a whole other level
@Marcus Aurelius without a doubt
FLOOR= *QuintEssentia* !! of Metal .. .... Stay safe.
Next, Nightwish and Floor Jansen "Storytime" or "Ghost Love Score" Wacken 2013 live !! (FLOORGASM )
It's amazing that she gets so much power and clarity singing while sitting down. She's as special as it gets.
So this was from Beste Zangers 2019. It is a Dutch Television show. It is unlike our American competition type shows. Basically they get a group of Dutch singers and take them to an island paradise for a couple of weeks where they hang out and get to know each other. At night one person will be the "focus" and sit on the middle couch with the host. The other singers will all sing a song to that person. on the last day they pair up and do some duets. I believe this was on the Spanish Island Ibiza and they are outdoors in what is basically a tent, hence the crickets.
It really is a fun and unique show!
Just a point of information for all my NW Army brothers and sisters: Phantom of the Opera is not an opera, it's musical theater with some use of classical technique for flavor. Tarja does it as legit opera, and Floor does it in her trademark variegated contemporary-classical mode. But Floor singing Phantom is not an instance of Floor singing opera; it's an instance of her crushing the hardest number in musical theater.
Matt Phillips I’ll definitely have to check out her singing! I’m very familiar with Phantom. It may be the best representation of Legit out there. I was so thrilled with the sequel Love Never Dies though
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Tarja is a pure opera singer, and was the first singer of Nightwish; Floor currently fronts that band, and is a Metal singer with extensive classical and musical theater training. Their two versions of Phantom are quite different even though they share the Nightwish backing arrangement somewhat. Please do BOTH versions ;-)
Also, many of Floor's best work is in very long Nightwish songs (like Poet and the Pendulum, and Ghost Love Score). I've started recommending reactors check out Dark Chest of Wonders ( ruclips.net/video/u8PW1jdBUR0/видео.html ) It's much shorter and shows a lot of Floor's ability
I will definitely check this out. Thanks for the info Matt!
Nightwish has over 500 000 000 ,,500 miljons views !! Only in Wacken concert 2013 had 82 000+ public/audiens/growdf/Fans Army /familj !! Best live shows in the world !!
I definitely want to see Nightwish in concert!
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Who doesn't? ;-)
Please check out her performance of “Winner”!
Hi from the UK floor Jansen is the singer in the band nightwish its a symphonic metal band from Finland she's Dutch
Check out nightwish ghost love score wacken open air concert 2013
And you might like to check out her singing with her friends band called epica
Epica sancta terra with floor Jansen live retrospect show
That’s cool! Is Epica as well known as Nightwish?
You are forgetting Ayreon. She is often asked to take part in the genius productions of Arjen Anthony Lucassen.
loved the reaction!!! please do Nightwish- Ghost Love Score Live at Wakken 2013. It's some next level Floor Jansen
Hey, you should definitely check out Floor Jansen with her nightwish band, awesome awesome thanks 😊2013 wacken show
I saw some clips of that wacken show. They rock!!
welcome the Nightwish Army!
🤣👊🏼🔥 It’s true....I’m in.
Pure Floor , Now go for her metal side you two
I’ve been exploring that a bit! Incredible!
Don't know how you ran across Floor Jansen, but in case you are unaware, she is the lead singer of Nightwish. She has been singing in metal bands starting in 1997 as a teenager. The Nightwish Army could drown you in recommendations, so I'll limit it to one: ruclips.net/video/Rjp_DfvJimg/видео.html The song is about Eugene Shoemaker - look up his story before reacting as only then will the song make sense. And yes, that is still Floor at the end.
I was wondering, was Floor famous before joining Nightwish?
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Reasonably so in Europe. She was with After Forever from 1997 to 2009 and then she started Revamp 2009-2016. She joined Nightwish as a temporary fill-in with Nightwish in 2012 during their U.S. tour and overlapped with Nightwish until she folded ReVamp in 2016.
She is very well known in Europe, South America, and to a certain extent in Asia. Only in the U.S. is she an unknown.
She was already well known enough before joining Nightwish, than when the band announced that she was filling in for the departed Anette Olzen in 2012, their concert ticket sales in South America went up. That's a strong indication that she already had a presence there.
She has close to a five octave range, running from deep death growls to opera and more or less anything in between. She has the ability to flip genres from one note to the next. She is near flawless during live performances - quite a contrast to the usual auto-tuned pop princesses most people listen to.
Here background consists of six years of training that most mostly rock oriented, but with a year of opera and a year of musical theatre.
The U.S. needs to pay attention - and she isn't the only female European metal singer who can knock it out of the park.
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Coming a little bit late to this comment, but what happened in fact is that Floor went through a very difficult time earlier in her career, was not very successful, was struggling quite a bit, suffered a partial nervous breakdown, and even posted a video for her fans, explaining why she could not go on. I say this because some artists, (who I actually really like for their $$$ contributions to charity, e.g. Taylor Swift), have been successful right from the get-go, and its important in understanding Floor that she was not. She had to work really hard for it.
The show is called Beste Zangers and the best song from the series (in my opinion) is Phantom of the opera - Floor and Henk. You should really check it out.. I cried 😅😀
Wait until you hear her with Nightwish. Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013.
I caught another song from the Wacken Festival. What other symphonic metal bands are huge in Europe?
💖
"She could be part of the synthesizer and strings' love that reaction. Because her voice indeed blended so well with the instrumentation and that is quite unique. This song came to live with her interpretation. Indeed she song now has more space, more depth and it can breath now. You really need poetic words to describe this performance both vocally and presentation wise. Just spread the word, because she is worldclass. She is the frontlady of The band Nightwish. Just check the Wacken 2013 live concert.. Start with Storytime, Everdream or the epic song Ghost Love Score. All their songs are fantastic. Just go through the rabbithole and you will be amazed. I promiss.
Every video I’m checking out is mind blowing. Is Nightwish very popular throughout all of Europe?
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Very populair, but not only in Europe. Also in Australia and in Latin America. I think the problem in the States is the dominance of rap, R&B, Hiphop. It's seems to be very narrow minded. You deserve better😉
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Since Nightwish is a metal band, the audience is limited in itself "by default". But within metal fans, they are very popular, definitely! Unfortunately not that much "known" in the "rest of the world".
Floor said she likes to taste the valves and how they form in the mouth. Floor can sing in many languages and you wouldn't know it wasn't her own. She is a one of a kind.
It's a lot more impressive if you knew that she's the lead singer of a symphonic metal band from Finland.
No dry eyes in that place. And yes, she's Dutch from the Netherlands.
Floor Jansen is singer in band called Nightwish. You should react Nightwish "Romanticide" Wacken live 2013 or "Devil and Deep Dark Ocean" Buenos Aires live.
I’ll get it on the list!
Epica Sancta terra ft Fool Jansen
By the way - Floor is the lead singer of a metal band from Finnland. I don’t know, if you are familiar with this special kind of metal - it’s symphonic metal. To see and hear what Floor is able to do, try “Ghost Love Score” from Wacken 2013 (live). You will be surprised I promise!!! - ruclips.net/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/видео.html
I’ve heard some symphonic metal but I do want to learn more about the best groups in that genre.
Hollywood Vocal Coach I believe Nightwish is one of the best ones... Try “Ghost Love Score” from Wacken 2013 as mentioned above. It’s not only Floor Jansen, also the other band members are insane. This song is the best one to start - but there are soooo many other songs. If you start with this one - I believe you will start a journey...
Ghost love score and Romanticide by Nightwish -Floor is the lead singer there ❤
Ghost love score live Wacken 2013 is a must.
I definitely have that on the list!
you can't really experience Floor's power in this performance. if you read her comment on the original video, she purposefully kept it small and delicate. her duet with Henk Port on "Phantom of the Opera" is not to be missed. you're welcome.
hey guys,just wondering if you both knew who you were reacting to ?not sure I felt like you did, Floor Jansen lead singer of Nightwish ,Beste Zangers a popular Dutch tv show filmed on Ibiza which is actually an outdoor type venue, no one except one person there knew who she was at that time,she sings many more great performances from this show : Phantom of the Opera w/Henk Poort,Vilja Lied,Winner,Qu si Siente,About Love,etc.
The reactions that we’re doing are from videos and singers that we have never seen before. So when I’m watching the video with all of you, I am seeing it for the very first time. People are emailing with suggestions and were just going through those suggestions. I was blown away by her vocal capabilities.
Emma Heesters (blond in red dress) doing single version cover of this song.
Nightwish Army incoming, get ready.
the show she's on is called Beste Zangers.
the format is very interesting you take 7 artists.
from other sides of the music spectrum.
you put them together in a holiday park and record 8 programs
one for each artist and a duets program.
each artist makes a list in advance where the others have to choose a song to sing.
the list you make is usually meaningful.
and the song that is sung is often meaningful for the singer who does it in that program.
there is a small joking element of competition but completely arbitrary.
incidentally, Beste Zangers both means the best singer and dear singer.
what I love about her interpretation of this song is that because she starts so small, she has so much room for dynamism.
I think that's the reason this song grows so much.
I hope that format reaches the US. It’s interesting.
Are all of these singers very famous in Europe?
@@HollywoodVocalCoach varies,
henk is an opera star who has worked all over europe.
floor is internationally famous in europe and south america and also a bit in amerka (but among the symphonic metal fans)
ruben is just starting out but is famous in the netherlands.
samatha purely dutch
Emma Heesters youtube star.
Rolf Sanches in latin america and america lain charts
Tim Akkerman i don't really know what he is doing now. but at least he was a Dutch rocker in a band but went solo and then he fell off my radar
marcel schellekens The show only worked with a list of songs to choose from in the first few seasons. Now the artists choose the song they’ll sing themselves & it has made the show so much better; the performances have much more depth and emotion.
She is a siren, a muse. Her with the musicianship and genius that is Nightwish.....mind explosions. Straight up spiritual journey.
Was she well known before Nightwish?
@@HollywoodVocalCoach she was in a few bands believe. One was more aggressive. I found her in Nightwish though.
You haven’t even seen/heard 10% of what Floor is capable of....Welcome to the rabbit hole...
Floor has such a large fan base. Did other singers from Beste Zangers become as popular as Floor?
If you want to see the full range of Floor check out the other songs from this Beste Zangers show. She did many songs in different genres and in different languages including the Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort that was amazing. This show was away from her symphonic metal band she is the lead vocalist for, Nightwish and if you want to see the power, range and stage presence check out the 2013 concert in front of 80,000+ fans at the great Open Air Wacken Festival. Great reactions and explanations for your impressions, well done!!
A lot of people have been mentioning the Wacken Festival. Let me ask you this, are symphonic metal bands common throughout Europe?
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Very big in Europe and South America. Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Delain, Vuur and Ex Libris all have Dutch women as lead vocalists and there are many more in other lesser known bands (e.g. Burning Witches, etc), whatever the Dutch do they have an amazing number of great female vocalists. Wacken is a annual 3 day event in a village of 1,800 that let 82,000 fans camp out and watch over a 100 bands play on 9 different stages. It is the Mecca of Metal and any metal band worth their salt has to be there.
I appreciate your comments. Let’s be honest though, the original was never really a duet. Ha ha.
🤣🤣🤣
Another vocal coach (Ken Tamplin) said this in his reaction to this performance: "Alright Lady Gaga I'm sorry to say this, but i think she beat you at your own game. I know that you are responsible for the song and the songwriting parts of it, but i think she smoked you."
This show is NOT a competition, but more a gathering of professional singers from the Netherlands singing FOR each other and celebrating music together. It is about community and not rivalry. A beautiful concept between all these singing shows where everyone just want to show how much better than the other participants he/she is. Every episode is dedicated to one singer where the others are picking songs from this artists catalogue, songs that had an impact on their lifes or careers or just a fafourite song and sing them for this person, giving it their own twist and stepping out of their comfort zone by singing a whole different genre they normally would not sing.
In the season 2019 there were:
Ruben Annink (singer/songwriter and the youngest with just 20 yrs)
Emma Heesters (singing coversongs on RUclips with 2 mio subscribers on her channel, she was 23 at the time the show was recorded)
Floor Jansen (Metal, leadsinger in the finnish symphonic Metalband "Nightwish")
Rolf Sanchez (Reggaeton, Salsa, very successful in Latin-america)
Samantha Steenwijk (dutch folk music)
Tim Akkermann (Rock, was part of a dutch rockband)
Henk Poort (Opera, famous dutch opera and musical singer and Andrew Lloyd Webbers favourite "Phantom"

Oh, and you are right there is some kind of european accent as Floor is dutch and her name is pronounced with a Y rather than a J in english (so it is Yansen).
Wow!! Thank you for the explanation of the show and all of these clips. I’m sure Ken didn’t mean it as a derogatory statement towards Lady Gaga. It’s just an observation on style. The reason cover singing is so difficult is because everyone knows the original and sometimes it’s difficult to be more creative than the original. Floor’s version was unique and not a copy of Gaga which is incredible.
@@HollywoodVocalCoach RaLu must have given you the best 'Beste Zangers' promotion comment possible.
Just a small modest footnote. Floor Did a year of Classical academy and the first Dutch Pop academy. She did not find a worth wild class until a teacher from the dramatic arts started teaching at the pop academy. For Floor her art is all about expression and telling a story that is true and believable.
@@HollywoodVocalCoach the original idea behind the show Beste Zangers (could be translated in to Dear singers) you all are performing singers,but on a day you are not able to perform your own songs or the songs that had an influentially impact on you. Who would you like to see to replace your own performances? This turned into a show without any form of competition,no ego issues whatsoever,just simple an exhibition of saudade towards eachother. Respect and admiration for eachother's performances are the basis on which this show thrives.
Please guys do reaction video with the Nightwish someday, specially for ghost love score (wacken) and phantom of the opera.
You should check out her duet with Tim Akkerman from the same show. Solo she keeps it small and light. The duet she doesn't hold back. She belts it.
Should check out her in her day job. Ghost Love Score by Nightwish.
I wish I could find these full episodes of this show!
@@HollywoodVocalCoach dai.ly/x7v81za with (Google translated?) subtitles in the settings menu
Doing great? She is the best singer in the world!
In an other episode of the same show Floor does sing Shallow as a duet with Tim Akkerman and takes a different take on it: ruclips.net/video/3Pf7Xd3IVtU/видео.html. We Dutch are proud of our Floor and Tim. The crickets are there because this show is recorded on Ibiza Island every year. It is one of the best things the Netherlands have to offer in terms of good singing and celebrating music together amongst some of the Netherlands best singers: Beste Zangers. The performers all sing to their colleagues, one of their songs or a song that was an inspiration or meaningful to the other. It’s really awesome and often emotional. The band is the best and every episode holds quality and surprise. It’s not just Floor. You should check it out. Oh yeah, I forgot: check out Emma Heesters ( pronounced as hase-ters) sing Strong to Floor, making it her own and bring Floor to tears: ruclips.net/video/lGYtFfgQoSQ/видео.html
tarja and floor are the best vocals that nightwish ever had
Thx for this reaction to Floor. If you are interested in more songs of Floor - same show - try „Que se siente“ (it’s a spanish one) - ruclips.net/video/DfYeLUoqw0E/видео.html
You should really react to ghost love score live at waken
Really enjoyed your expertise from your comments. My recommendations to professional vocal coaches might be somewhat different from the other commentators. I agree with the Ghost Love Score Nightwish Live recommendations, but would trend more toward some of the other Beste Zangers solos for the rest. The difficulty for you in reviewing Beste Zangers is that each separate episode was designed to highlight a different aspect of Floor's voice, so no one episode has them all -- that's why so many people recommend Nightwish's "Ghost Love Score" -- it comes closest to having her using multiple different singing techniques.
For belting, if you want to discuss that technique, I would recommend "Que se Siente" off Beste Zangers; for her opera chops, "Phantom of the Opera" with Henk Poort (formerly the male tenor in the actual production of this opera in Europe) would be best; and for the technique you were focusing on here -- very soft with some breath added -- her recently released solo for the charity, supporting child victims in war-torn regions, "De Beelden Blijven", would be my choice.
Thanks again for the review!
Cool! I wish I could see the whole season of Beste Zangers. I am sure those other singers were equally impressive as Floor, right?
@@HollywoodVocalCoach Thanks for the response. Sorry, the answer is NO to your question.
But you raise another, more important point. My reaction after watching all of the Beste Zangers series was not as much an appreciation of their singing, but an admiration for their generosity and humility in the way in which they conducted themselves TOWARD EACH OTHER -- something we could all take note of here in North America.
BRIEFLY, for example: Floor sang a song to fellow Dutch female singer Samantha Steenwijk in "Episode Two" that was a pure cover of Sam's song "Mama"; one which Sam was known for and which she had even done a small video to. Floor badly outperformed Sam, and in front of a large Dutch audience to boot. It must have been personally embarrassing for Sam. Two weeks later it was Floor's turn to shine, when granted her favorite request: to be able to sing "Phantom of the Opera" with Henk Poort. Sam could have sat on her hands during the performance, or said things like: "Well, it was OK, but she's not a R-E-A-L opera singer". Instead, Sam was one of Floors BIGGEST SUPPORTERS, CHEERING HER ON as she did her performance (Sam is the blonde on the left of the two on the couch; slightly older and with curly hair). I can't tell you the admiration I had for Samantha Steenwijk after that night. We could all learn a little bit from their example!
@@TedinCalgary1952 Well have no fear it was embarrassing for Samantha that Floor did her song Mama as good as she did. They were friends from day one.
They both sang a mama-song to one and other. This show had so much love between them I still revisit the episodes.
NIGHTWISH - Storytime (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) Floor Jansen
I see in one of your other videos you react to 'Oh Holy Night' this is Floor Jansen at a Finnish holiday show where metal bands gather to do heavy versions of Christmas classics. This is her heavy version of that classic, in Finnish... ruclips.net/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/видео.html
That is awesome! I'll definitely check it out!
now go watch her do a Nightwish song like Ghost love score, Romantacide or story time.. Completely different
For floor's versatility and artistry Shallow is an example of relatively small, breathy. Much of her work is a mix of high belt, easy switch to head-voice/falsetto and even growls. Her Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort deserves a view. ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html more light classic than lower laryncheal, well rounded opera, but great. Then go for her louder belting and quickly switching of styles . Ghost Love Score ruclips.net/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/видео.html , Storytime ruclips.net/video/pvkYwOJZONU/видео.html, If you are interested in the best voices you cannot really evade Dimash Kudaibergen who is arguably the best singer in the world. 6Octave rannge, switching between styles, increadible breath control, flawless whisper switches Start with SOS on the Chinese TV show ruclips.net/video/JEz1qGS0T1Q/видео.html
Dimash is amazing! Thanks for the links! I’ll check them out!
I thought SOS was jaw dropping!
@@HollywoodVocalCoach So did I, but he shows longer runs in Sinful Passion, more audience interaction in Opera 2 and an E8 in some other songs. So to get a good impression of his voice-types, range etc. one neds to listen to several songs.
More Floor (Nightwish) best singers alive right now, in my opinion, is Dimash, Morissette Amon and Floor Jansen.
Those three singers are top of the game!
Since you guys are in Hollywood and obviously rub shoulders with the movie crowd, could you imagine Floor with her impressive voice and size playing a Disney evil queen or something we have never seen, a Star Wars female Sith Lord? With her size, tats, stage presence, not to mention her voice, she would make awesome villain. In her usual high heeled boots she stands about 6'4 " - 6'5" so just imagine the scene with the evil Floor towering over our helpless hero.
Now that would be dope! I wonder if she’s ever been to Hollywood?
@@HollywoodVocalCoach I have no idea, but being a Star Wars fan, I have indulged in thinking up a storyline featuring Floor as a daughter of Emperor Palpatine who had been sidelined as she didn't live up to his expectations.
For reasons of personal vengeance, she brings together the remnants of the Imperial fleet. The Republic in the meantime is starting to resemble Trump's America, dissolving into factionalism, Fascism and corruption.
Rei frightens the ruling Fascists so they send her off to fight the emerging threat of Floor with the hope they'll take each other out and solve their problems. However, after an initial fight they ally, producing the odd spectacle of Imperial and Republican ships in the same fleet, facing off against 'official' Republican ships with old friends on either side.
It would leave the audience at first wondering who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, at a loss as to who to support. I have a visualization of Floor using her awesome voice as a projection of the Force.
Back to reality, check out 'Romanticide" at Wacken 2013 as Floor does a ten second, three octave scream - now imagine that in a movie.
One last thought, ask your Hollywood movie buddies if they'd like a female villain with this voice: ruclips.net/video/SNPesLFTnUg/видео.html
It's a fancam video so no studio effects, 100% Floor Jansen.
Pls react to Bugoy Drilon,”0ne day”.
Please react to AMANDA COLE and ELAINE DURAN im from Philippines thanks you
its in ibiza
and floor is now lead singer of nightwish..
if it ain't dutch it ain't much
This is very stripped back. Not even close to what she's capable of vocally. Check out her band "Nightwish" start with "ghost love score" live at waken 2013 and go from there.
I did see a couple of her videos. Impressive! I liked that this song was not her usual power vocals because sometimes singers get used to singing with power that they can’t control the softer colors. This was definitely not the case for Floor. She had shown great expression!
Hollywood Vocal Coach you should have watched the other videos with us , the nightwish army would descend on your channel like a pack oh hungry wolves 😂
you are really good vocal coaches but this time time I felt you had so much need for the input that you really not listened the song which was a piece of art. Rarely somebody can cover better than original..
You love Floor, but you stop with this song. I don't get it. Just check her out with her band Nightwish. You like a little story? Then start with the song Storytime or Everdream, both from the Wacken 2013 concert. Or are you guys too much mainstream? Just leave your comfort zone for a moment. You won't regret it. I promise.
I love the voice but too airy or maybe just the mic and the effects...
yet, this is one of her worst performances, because this song doesn't let her use much of her capabilities (and the level of the song itself is WAY lower than anything else she has ever done)
WTF are you kidding ?
I think this video showcases her exceptional vocal abilities. If she has this type of color and control in a portion of her range that she normally doesn’t use, then it’s easy to see why her expressive vocals are very professional and compete. I love her performance style.
@@HollywoodVocalCoach it does showcase some of her abilities, but it's far from a accurate representation of what she can do. during 6 of her performances on this tv show (out of the 8) she is holding back very much.
just not with "vilja lied" and "phantom of the opera" with Henk Poort
@thensho - I think you missed (a lot) what she did in this song. "worst performance" is ridiculous (even though you meant it not as "bad") - actually, it's one of her masterclass appearances. Perfect interpretation, emotions, light technique, perfect control!
