    Many years ago, when I was still attending school, my music teacher asked about great composers. She expected answers like Beethoven or Mozart. I just replied Tuomas Hollopainen and Hans Zimmer (in this order). Of course she knew Hans Zimmer but has never heard about Tuomas. A week later when I came in for the next lesson, she just said: I listened to some of his songs. You are right!

      According to me they both thrive on emotion and getting into your soul. Together with all the other band members and support, for one cannot exist without the others. And even for Nightwish the saying goes: "Partir c'est mourir un peu..."

    The way Tuomas write songs that make one feel such a tsunami of emotions is truly outstanding, if someone earns the nickname "Metal Mozart it´s definetely him. Combine that with Floors equally outstanding voice and the magic that is Nightwish happens.

      For all Floor Jansen fans: Singer Floor Jansen confesses to Flair: 'I thought metal was terrible music'
      Floor Jansen (39) tours the world as lead singer of the metal band Nightwish and recharges in her house in the woods in Sweden. When she participated last year with 'Beste Zangers', the Netherlands finally got to know her. "Somehow I like that, stupid huh?"
      She initially did not know the program with which she broke through in the Netherlands, nor did the other artists who participated. She has been living with her Swedish husband Hannes - with whom she had daughter Freja in 2017 - in Sweden for five years and doesn't watch Dutch television. Why did she participate? She was impressed by the footage she saw. Besides, there was a good chance that through her this would make people curious about metal in general and Nightwish in particular. In the last episode she sang Phantom of the opera together with Henk Poort in an unparalleled way, the footage went all over the world. And now the whole of the Netherlands knows who Floor Jansen is.
      She is relaxed at one of the tables in the lounge. Denim jacket, jeans, long dark hair. Around her, people are busy making calls or working on their laptops. In between, Floor is in a calm state of being. She drinks tea, speaks softly, almost shyly. She talks about how nice Sweden is. About their remote home in the woods. It is a bit like Limburg where she spent part of her childhood.
      Had Limburg not been an option?
      “Hannes and I lived in Finland when we met. I had moved there because Nightwish is a Finnish band. Although I sing in English, I wanted to learn the language and it works best when you immerse yourself in it. Finnish is very difficult, I never learned to speak it well. Of course it doesn't help if you have a Swedish man. Hannes missed Sweden and because I was already used to the peace and space in Finland, we moved there. We now have a very nice house in the countryside. With a dog and cats, and my two horses. When we moved into this house, with a huge plot of land around it, I immediately said I wanted horses. That was my girlhood dream.”
      You were bullied as a child, you call that a dark period, was being with the horses a way to escape for a while?
      “Because we moved often, I was always an outsider. I spoke differently than the children in my class, looked different, was tall. That bullying lasted seven years. My parents often went to school, but there they calmly said that there was nothing they could do. I can still get angry about that, because you actually say: 'Bad luck for you, just figure it out'. I withdrew to my own world, to nature, to the horses. So yes, in a way that was a flight.”
      “So was music, by the way. At one point those were the two things I went for. My career choice test also showed equestrian sport and conservatory. I really wanted to go to the conservatory, until I understood that the vocal training was either very classical or jazz. I had nothing to do with either of them. That is why I went to the Equestrian Center Deurne, a horse training course. That was very hard. I ended up there from high school and had to work hard every day. Some muscles in my body had become so hard that the blood flow in my arms was no longer functioning properly. I had a failure in my hands, so bad that I could hardly drive because I let the reins slip out of my hands all the time. It just wasn't fun anymore. When I heard that there was going to be a rock academy, I immediately registered.”
      Were your parents surprised that you started doing this?
      "I don't think so. I was also involved in musicals at school, so it didn't come out of the blue. I think they have kept their heart, because of course it is very insecure. But they have always been behind me. They said: 'You have a talent, you have to do something with it.' My father plays the guitar and sings. He's more in the blues corner. My sister Irene also sang in a metal band for a while and we also performed together. But I'm the only one in our family who made it her job."
      Were you immediately into metal?
      “I didn't really like it at all. A friend of mine was listening to it and I thought, what kind of horrible music is that? I was a little late developing my own taste. In the first school band I sang in, we played pop and rock songs. I also really liked grunge, but more to listen to. It wasn't until I moved to Limburg and made friends who listened to different metal bands that I saw the beauty of it. It's not just loud screaming and screeching guitars. The music we make with Nightwish has so many nuances, it's pop, folk, rock, symphonic passages, it's very accessible and melodic. For me, this kind of metal music is the ultimate combination of heavy music, pure feelings and female vocals.”
      Metal music is a man's world, do you thrive on that?
      “I don't really know any better. I stepped into this life from school. I actually don't realize that I work almost exclusively with men. It works well for me, I like it too. Men are very direct, there is no hassle. I never think: what is your hidden agenda? I do notice, now that I'm getting older, that I miss female company. Just because women look at things differently and that's sometimes a relief when you're only surrounded by men. That's why it was nice that at the time my female friend went along on tour as a nanny. I had very different conversations with her. She also saw when I was not feeling well and immediately asked how I was doing. Men don't ask that quickly, or don't even notice."
      By joining 'Best Singers' you hoped that more people would listen to your music. Did that work?
      "Yes. Our concerts in the Netherlands were immediately sold out. The nice thing is that it went both ways. A lot of people who listen to my music have also embraced Henk Poort. What I'm especially happy about is that I was able to show that metal isn't just satanic music, sung by screaming angry men."
      Do you also think: finally known in the Netherlands?
      “Haha. Somehow I like that, stupid huh? It bothered me that we are known all over the world and barely got a foothold in the Netherlands.”
      Translated from an article in the Dutch magazine 'Flair' from May, 20, 2020 (Zangeres Floor Jansen biecht op aan Flair: ‘Ik vond metal vreselijke muziek’)

    How to forget that day at the Flores Theater in Buenos Aires 2012, where for the first time we heard Floor sing "Ghost love score" and everyone with snot and tears listening to her, to end the night all in unison chanting her name. . . . "Floor, floor, floor!" We had never seen anything like this, we had no choice but to surrender to it, we all saw redemption coming from the front, we all knew at that moment that nightwish had once again been the best band in the world.

    There's genius, then there's Tuomas.
    He is a once in a millennium kind of composer and performer who's name and scores will be immortalised in history with the likes of Mozart, Chopin, Zimmer, Williams, Bach, Beethoven.
    Combined with the equally stunning talents from Floor, Kai, Marko, Emppu, Jukka and Troy, they are settling the bar so high not just for metal bands but for all musicians now and in the future through mind blowing performances and stage presence, godly chord progressions, riffs, vocals, drum stamina, vast diversity of instruments and an entire army of loyal followers.
    You have to wonder... Is it possible to ever reach a higher standard than Nightwish in our lifetime?
    Best of the best and an absolute bucket list must for live performance!

    Thank you so very much Mrs, Jansen! You and Nightwish have given me enormous will to get things done these past couple of months. The fan Friday's, the news about the Amsterdam show videos and documentary and... The Biggest Boost of all was finding out you and the band are dropping by, hopefully, next August in Romania. Bought the tickets today as soon as they were made available. Even if it will be moved up I'm still glad you wonderful folk have my country in your plans. It as an absolute honor to be living in the same days as you and your most talented friends and witness history in the making!

    Ha! That was great! 😂You know, I wouldn't object if the two of you shared Fan Friday once in a while, or if he guest hosted. I bet fans would have questions for him, as well. Hmmm, pets. I'm actually not much of a pet person, so I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.

    Toumas is the type of musician that understands his gifts and does not take that for granted. He is the musicians musician. What a true honor it must be to work along side him.

    @Zorro33313 2 года назад +8

    To become a genius in smth it's not enough to do it great, it's necessary to become that smth itself. Every master is an avatar of their art, and Tuomas is one with his. I'd say his brain is made of music, he thinks in music, he perceives the world in music. The transition is a sacrifice in some sense, but it provides a completely different angle of perception and cognition so the payoff is a whole new universe, which i consider pretty sufficient.

    The best way to start the weekend, Floor, thank you! When it comes to pets, has Freja tried to ride on Fenris yet? I remember my daughter trying to ride my brother-in-law's dog (a Great Dane mix) when she was very young. And as an aside, I had a good laugh during the video a few weeks back when one of the kitties knocked something over and you just looked and said, "Ca-a-at!" in that fond-yet-exasperated tone. I've used that myself with my cats - I think it's universal to cat owners. (Or staff, as the cats surely think of us!)

    Thanks Floor!
    Your Fan Fridays are a lot of fun and so very informative!
    I think it's a universal truth that Tuomas Halopeinen is a genius. He's written some of the most beautiful, thoughtful, reflective and powerful music of the last 50 years.
    In my opinion his talents and gifts have been limited by the 'canvas' that he had before Floor joined the band.
    He had been working with a 'two-dimensional' canvas and now has a 'three-dimensional' canvas. That is what a singer like Floor allows with her range, power and emotional talents.
    This doesn't take away from either Tarja or Annette but recognizes their limits.
    IMO Tarja saw every song as either a classical or an operatic vision. Annette lacked power.
    Floor has few limitations and this allows Tuomas to explore more of his imagination, without the previous limitations!
    If Tuomas can imagine it, Floor can give it life!
