I agree with Grammy. Freddy's version is and always will be the best version. Nothing can beat Freddy. But, I think After Forever did a good job with this cover
There is no replacing Freddy but she is good at whatever she sings. She is around 37 or 38 now so I assume she was in her 20's when this came out. I really didnt hear much of her until Revamp so I am not sure.
Nobody’s done this one yet, you’re the first. This features on their second album Decipher released in 2001 Floor was in her early 20’s when it was recorded. Hey Pops if you like “ Energize Me” you should check out this version ruclips.net/video/uzW1jDAt69Q/видео.html&app=desktop&persist_app=1 (The song starts at 2 minutes) Floor Sings with string quartet without a microphone.
You're right. She was very good in After Forever, superb in ReVamp, and when she had to learn material exclusively that was not written for her in Nightwish, she rose to the challenge and became that vocal nuclear bomb that she is today. Agree that Freddy's version is far better. You should react to some Judas Priest at some point, maybe, The Sentinel or Dreamer Deceiver. I'm not certain Floor could pull that off even today. Pops, you seem to be knowledgeable about metal. Who do you think is the best male match/comparison for Floor? Whose songs could she sing best today? Dio? Bruce Dickinson? Eric Adams from Manowar?
I have to agree with you about this song. If you are in the mood for another (better) cover by After Forever, try ruclips.net/video/EpxOKueE-_0/видео.html, which is Floor's cover of Heart's Alone accompanied by just a piano. She absolutely kills this one. For a different version, she does an acoustic Alone with some of the guys from Nightwish on the Nightwish cruise (they were just having fun). Pops may like to hear that if he hasn't already. ruclips.net/video/ObT2E9QTIZs/видео.html.

I really love the guitar in their cover...
Absolutely flabbergasting!
Your analysis on her voice maturation is dead on...
I like the version and the different approach they rook. But i also like the Queen version better.😁

theres never hate for liking Freddy ;) im just glad the band respected the original material enough not to change it too much. ;)

Outside Context Problem pops here. I would love to see Floor do some Bruce.
Floor was 21/22 here.
