The Greatest Singer of all Time?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Meet Floor Jansen. The greatest singer of her generation and arguably one of the greatest singers of all time.
Today Floor sings in a Finnish symphonic metal band called 'Nightwish', but has taken part in many other bands and solo projects over her 20 year career.

Thanks for the love on the video guys! I want to say 1 thing because I see people are constantly arguing in the comments. The truth is there is no objective 'BEST SINGER in the World. Floor is not the certified best. Dimash is not the best, nor anyone else. Music is subjective. For me, Floor is the most complete singer I have ever heard but that is just my opinion. Also, those saying I am comparing Floor to Maria Callas' opera singing...no I'm not. Obviously, dedicated opera singers are better at opera. Floor's gift to the world is being able to sing almost anything at a high level (this girl could sing a Chinese phonebook and make it sound good) and her incredible stage/emotive performances. You don't have to agree that's she's the best, but please try to avoid hate and the silly comments. Thanks!
With all due respect: I honestly don't understand why people make such videos at all. I mean in many cases they do it for the sake of provocation and views. But why do you then complain afterwards about the complaints? :) It's just logical that people complain. I really don't understand why people make such videos
a) It doesn't even make any sense to call someone "the greatest" as there is no scientific model to evaluate that. Such things are subjective.
b) It's always a provocation. It really is. And especially having Maria Callas in the thumbnail/video who's an icon of flawless vocal technique and belongs to a completely different genre is intentionally highly provocative. Luckily classical music lovers are usually not watching such YT videos, otherwise the comment section would be full with extreme negativity of opera fans who feel attacked and insulted
c) Such things should generally not be done, and especially not by someone who doesn't have a degree in vocal pedagogy. And with all due respect: You apparently haven't. Otherwise, you wouldn't believe that you can call someone the objectively "greates" and especially: you wouldn't say it about Floor. Floor is very talented and she's also versatile and iconic in some certainw ay, but she has way too many technical flaws to consider her among the very best technique-wise. And you can't call someone "the greatest" who doesn't have flawless vocal technique. With all due respect: That doesn't make sense
@asdas saddasd then what you thinkis wrong. You can't say that a singer is better than hundreds of others with a way better technique
@@diversisanimaliaformis4256I have to agree with asdas, technique is a help not a measure. So claming someone is the best singer due to theyre technique is a big miss. thats like saying 1 that knows how to read is a better storyteller then 1 who hasent learned how to read.
@@diversisanimaliaformis4256 Exactly as they all said.
Perfect technique along doesn't say everything. Plus that's perfect technique most probably in specific things like classical and opera. But it's not the only way of vocalizing.
And not only that but irregardless she has a great set of technique and strong baseline structure. Without those things she would be nothing compared to what she is today.
And she can do many things that others with"better technique"could never do.
@@diversisanimaliaformis4256 I feel very sorry for you that you feel this way. I think you don't understand that music is about more than just technique. Believing that I or anyone else needs a degree in 'vocal pedagogy' to have a strong opinion about music is very misguided indeed. You and everyone else is welcome to have whatever opinion you want. Also fun fact for you my friend as you seem to talk a lot about technique: Maria was known not to have perfect technique. It was everything else about her that made her so special despite other Sopranos having superior technique. For my money, Maria was the greatest Soprano of all, but her technique was far from perfect when compared to many of her peers, even if her performances overall were superior.
When I hear her in the finale of 'Shoemaker' tears roll over my cheeks, each and every time I listen to it. And I'm a 6'4" 'tough' 66 year old guy.
You should check folk songs ... A bit serious folk songs ... They are crazily powerfully emotional
Yes, that was so lovely! Tears for me also.
She can sing the BBC News and you will cry.
Floor Jansen is without doubt the musical discovery of my life. I have never heard a more beautiful voice. She touches my soul like no other. Tears and goosebumps are frequent when listening to her sing. What an amazing woman!
I assume that this video is the evoked response to the incredible vocals on Human :: Nature.
Full support from this side.
Or that certain duet last year.
I doubt that. It has all older songs but should have included heavy ones as well since she is also a great metal singer
Nothing beats Ghost Love Score by Floor
@@ShardCollector definitely nothing
@Aada Leena yess, my favoutite from the new album is "How's the hearth?", I'm in love with that song :)
Nice video. But what puts Floor Jansen one step above the rest it's not just her powerful voice or the belting, or sustaining high notes for a long time. We all know she's a powerhouse, but it's her versatility and how she's a musical chameleon what makes her so unique, she can sing in any style, any technique, any song, and make it sound like it was written for her. Other singers can also belt and reach high notes, but she can also keep it small and soft, sing acoustic, intimate songs and still sound powerful and in total control of her voice. And last but not least she's a true PERFORMER, a storyteller, she feels the lyrics, she lives the song, she amplifies the emotion and blows you away. If it's a happy song she will make your life better, if she's singing a sad song she'll make you cry like a baby.
Well said. She makes this 58 year old bloke very emotional when she sings. New album is killing me with its beauty and depth.
And the icing on that amazing cake is her humility.
@@MountainMetal Yep.
@@michaelwanklin3580 You have a ways to go, it does me too, and I'm a 74 year old bloke.
Well spoken.
Yes, but who's the greatest HUMAN singer of all time?
Yea your right.. She aint human
I met her and I can confirm she's not human
Michael Jackson
@@emmawiges2963 Wasn't Michael Jackson a biomass consisting of skin transplants?
@@jjs9672 I can confirm you met her I was that tree
Should have included the growling in Disdain . That makes her out of this world for knowing all kinds of vocal techniques
Best male singer of all time: Freddie Mercury
Best female singer of all time: Floor Jansen
Floor Jansen!
She's up there, but yeah, Freddie #1, Floor Jansen top 5.
Tarja Turunen ✍️
Freddie is gay and i don't like his vocal style. I'd rather choose Ronnie James Dio than him.
mmm. Freddie was an incredible singer but not necessarily the best male singer of all time. Floor Jansen is also in my opinion one of the best of all time. But I think Floor Jansen is proportionately more gifted than Freddie was. It is difficult (not impossible of course) in all musical genres to find a female singer superior to Floor. BUT it is possible in Metal and Opera music to find singers of the same level as Freddie. Some even better ... few, very few ... but there are.
Oh come on! I'm only human. I can't handle this amount of Floorgasms in one video.
**Puts video on repeat**
To me she is. Taste is subjective but her talent is a fact. She slays *EVERY* single genre of music she sings, her live performances are better than studio versions and she sings in every concert as if it was the last day of her life and she is charismatic while doing so, humble and interacting with the crowd. Is it necessary to clear up that this is my opinion? Jeez y'all turn comments into mortal Kombat
"she slays EVERY single genre of music" I don't agree with that tbh. But she's very talented and very versatile :) and a great live performer
@@petercauter9691 which one?
@@overdosedmiawallace Seriously? Well, she's a symphonic metal singer. And she's amazing. But she's e.g. not a real opera singer, she's not a real pop singer, not an RnB singer, not a jazz singer, not a rapper, not a beatboxer, not a gospel singer, not a folk singer, and she "only" sings Western music. What she does is immense. But let's not say that she sings everything. :)
@@petercauter9691 I understand. I believe I didn't express myself correctly, I meant to say in my opinion she slays every genre she actually sings with NW, tv etc.. Of course Idk if she'd be good at jazz
@@overdosedmiawallace I agree :) She's phenomenal
I would have added a bit of Shallow and some screaming and growling, and a bit of Slow Love Slow to give viewers an idea of her versatility.
EDIT: And some of the melodies of Music and Pan! They're insane! Let f***ing Queen of Pop Madonna sing that and see how it goes!
I think there is also a reason to mention that she sings christmas song 'O holy night' in Finnish language 'Oi Jouluyö'... Wasn't perfect pronunciation, but ALL THE RESPECT for her to do it live for huge audience (don't think there was anyone who thought it would sound perfect pronunciation anyway)... Finnish language is one damn difficult language to speak, not to mention singing, even for the natives.
trust me, she is ready to pop into pop...the Floor of the former robust days is no more
Outside Context Problem I agree, although in my opinion Slow Love Slow is one of those few songs that Anette actually did better.
@@onlythtruth2938 yeah who would think that she could possibly be in a little more vocal and physical prime at around 32 vs almost 40 and had a baby.
What kind of fucking idiot would think logically like that?????
She can make you cry with almost everything she sings. She can make you feel the words and the emotion in every word she sings. That is why music exist, that the true meaning of music. Like her there have never been one. A lot will come close but never above.
Perfect comment my friend.
Aamen.
yeah i know, im turn into a sobbing fool whenever i listen to her and i cant stop listen to her either. I can listen to the same song and it will elicit the same reaction every time, she hits me in my soul everytime i listen to her sing
Floor Jansen has 3 important things:
- Talent.
- Power.
- Versatility.
With those 3 things She "makes magic".
And if u have a time, theres a man who have magic more than Floor, Her name is DIMASH KUDAIBERGEN
What about her Storytelling ability?
@@EndofFile79 4 skills...
@@rjgofficial3073 I like Dimash but seriously, floor transmits what she sings in each concert, in fact the songs sound better when she sings them live than the studio version
Charisma
Floor makes grown men cry
While the world is obsessed with only playing plastic, throwaway pop rubbish on the radio & tv. Floor will never get the recognition she deserves. Mention Floor to most people and they don't know of her. We are lucky that it is our gain and their loss.
But watching other people's jaws on the ground after hearing her sing GLS is well worth it 👍
@@phantoms-yy5jv I totally agree. Can't wait to see her sing it live but not sure if any of the tour dates will go ahead this year. I've got tickets for December.
@@redguern what city are you seeing them in? As for me it probably won't be Til 2021.i hope they bring The Birthday Massacre with them,great double bill!
I hate these kind of comments that say that other genres they dislike is "rubbish". It is not "rubbish" if it is enjoyed by people. It is just not your taste.
@@EduardoGR1004 Oh GOD! HAVE YOU HEARD POP MUSIC?
If one more person says Amy Lee is as good as Floor Jansen, I'm gonna lose it. Amy Lee certainly isn't bad, but she is faaaaar from Floor's singing.
Edit: Emppu's floorgasm face describes it all lmao 6:43
Amy Lee is faaaaaaaar from Anette and she nowhere near Floor
Exactly. Fuck Amy Lee , nowhere near Floor.
Lol, no hahaha.
Tarja > Floor
@@farlon7453 nope
Comparisons can be made and different opinions can exist, however
There is only one Floor Jansen
There is only one Tuomas Holopainen and there is only one Nightwish!
And Tuomas had to wait years, before he got what he wanted, the last singer of Nightwish.
Thema's also one Rian.....😇
I read this comment during the example of everdream, and read it like a motivational speech lol
Floor the only person I see that moves reactors on UA-cam to tears within a few seconds
😂 yeah and it's so authentic, it's perfect for the high iq people watching these amazing videos
Imagine virtue signalling on a 4 year old comment l
more than her perfect voice, it is her capacity to transmit emotions ... every time I listen to her, my heart is caught
Floor is the female benchmark of modern day.I have heard a lot of singers in my time but Floor is just not of this world.
I prefer Beth Hart as the benchmark. When I hear Floor, I can't understand what she is saying even if it's a song I know well. Floor does vocalise the songs well, but her pronunciation of the words could be better if I'm going to understand what she is singing.
@@orlock20 I had a listen to her. Shes ok But I would say Linda Ronstadt is higher than Beth Hart and just Below Floor..I would even rate Karen Carpenter higher than Beth and Linda.. Floor though cant be reached she can do any genre and make it her own..IN fact I would even go so far as to say Floor is a genre..
@@keithteaser I have a hard time understanding Floor.
@@orlock20 I'd guess that's due to the fact that English isn't her first language.
U will take your words if u hear DIMASH KUDAIBERGEN
She sings better than anyone else in the world today that is for sure. Yes she is better than Beyonce...
Much much better!
She has my vote.
The thing that makes Floor stand out is how incredibly versatile she is. She can do full classical right through to death growls and pretty much anything in between. While there are probably singers in certain styles who were better at that particular style, I doubt there is any that is as good as Floor across so many types of singing.
There are tbh, even though she's amazing. (But I don't agree on the "full classical" tbh. She is amazing and amazingly versatile, but she doesn't use a real classical singing technique for her classical performances. It's not even a real gola aperta technique tbh. But it's amazing that she can showcase it anyway)
@@petercauter9691 she's ventured more away from it. And fucking clearly struggles with it live as it's not her main study, she's on a metal stage headbanging and belting, and switching between colors and techniques. Going soft, medium powerful, pure, clean, grit, and growl.
It's physically demanding. Most opera singers would fall apart and sound like horse crap at that point.

She is the most versatile. She can sing absolutely everything. She has most powefull vocal. And she has amaisine smile.
She is amazing, but she can't sing "absolutely everything", and you know that :)
Most is a big statment, she is good but not the best! And not the most versatile!
@@uaputte show us someone more versatile
@The Scalla Looks like you are really butthurt around these parts. Nobody is even trying to say she sings like callas.
Grow up
@@jackskellington9570 Can start whit Tarja, Robbin the Girls from Dark shara and the list can be long...
I've been saying that Floor Jansen is the greatest singer of all time for years. Her Versatility and ability to convey emotion to every song she sings is just incredible.
You must feel good watching this video for super high iq people like you
Am I a fan of Nightwish? Not particularly. Do I regard Jansen as the best living vocalist? Without a doubt.
Does she have one of the greatest most Angelic voices alive today? Check!
Does she have a beautiful, hypnotic and mesmerizing stage presence? Check!
Does she bring people to tears when she sings? Check!
Does she amazingly and flawlessly sing in different vocal ranges, styles, and languages? Check!
Has she been able to finally make me (hard core metal head in my 50's) realize and understand what being star-struck meant? Check!
constantin miclea Can she sing as flawlessly when performing live? Check! 😉
@@remconoordermeer7015 Even better live then on record (the mark of great musicians!)
and all that without even mentioning that she is a precious goddess
You know I totally agree with this. I have fibromyalgia and as a result certain noise frequencies cause me to get almost instant migraine headaches. She is one of the few sopranos that I can listen to without getting a migraine. Love her voice and everything she is able to do with it.
Her tone makes me want to melt whenever I listen to her.
Floor touches something deep inside a persons soul, I think that’s where the magic lives
125 dislikes, WTF, are they hard of hearing or just plain ignorant
Just plain stupid.
..or deaf🤔🤷🏼♀️
People like you talking about ignorance
I agree that she is the best singer but she has so much more to show for than these clips, her range is far wider from the low to the middle as well. She growls like a beast! . And it`s not only her range, it is the power and structure of her voice, she has trained hard to become this good, she has abs and lungs of steel and she is a great performer on stage! And her live singing is freak`n flawless!
So happy she joined NW, they are such a complete band now with her in it
Agreed. This is like one part of a ten part expose'!
Amen🙏

P.s... Часто, голос Floor Jansen звучит недостижимо нереально (например в том же Beste zingers). Думаю это потому, что: в обычной практике не встречается ничего подобного невстречается. Т. е. потому, что невозможно поверить что на это способен человек.
В случае же с growl наоборот: growl, у Floor Jansen - звучит предельно РЕАЛЬНО! 😘
I was lucky enough to see her for the first time 20 years ago. I knew immediately she was something very special. Seen her many, many times since then with AF, Revamp and Nightwish 🖤🤘
Same here, except for ReVamp. Very happy she joined Nightwish!
First time i saw her was when they opened with AF for Nightwish. I knew AF already on record but not seen them live. I honestly was much more impressed by Floor and the way she brought emotions (yes i cried) then i was by Tarja. Not that i don't like Tarja cause i do. But Floor just really moved me in a way no other singer ever had and did.
Lucky. I saw revamp though. And got her signature tattood
Floor is The Goddess. And best singer, of course.
Tho, nightwish "died" from the leaving of Tarja.
Tarja here, floor there... I dont get that shit... marco all the way lol
@@Tommuli_Haudankaivaja NW only died for you and some..What a sad life indeed..
@@tonyelsom6382 You missed a dot or two, but you're right, some like me and most of my relatives dislike the direction Nightwish drifted. There're still a lot of people who like Nightwish, that's for sure, I just don't see a why. I rather listen to "The dark element" than today's Nightwish.
@@Tommuli_Haudankaivaja Well, it's a matter of taste!!
I miss the growling parts 😉
What a Fantastic compilation. Ty so much,she deserves it. Just Shallow and Que ce Siente had to be added to show how much more versatile she is.
Floor is the best!!!!!!
I have never been so moved emotionally by any other singer.
I totally agree.
Props to Marco too, they are the ultimate dynamic duo..
Nah, the ultimate 'dynamic duo' existed from 1996 to 2005.
Totally agree with you. Floor Jansen is a whole level higher than anyone I've ever heard.
Ghost love score is enough to sell that she’s the greatest, no need for all the other examples.
Is it ok to cry when thinking we will never hear a Freddy Mercury and Floor duet?
I don't think humanity is ready for that level of amazing
A Tatiana and Floor song would be incredible!
Yes.
Don't ignore the option, holographic artists have performed before.
As long as there is some form of recording, it will be done eventually.
Oh, I've been fan of Queen since my 16, I'm 58 now and alsof become fan of Floor and Nightwish. Floor doing a Queen cover would be nice.😇
Saw the "Phantom of the Opera" duet a few weeks ago and was mesmerized by the strength, range, and clarity of her voice. wow, Wow, WOw, WOW!
Freddie = best male singer
Floor = best female singer
Period
FLOOR JANSEN!
you must have not been paying attention to Tarja Turunen since she left Nightwish.
Give Angelina Jordan 15 years, we shall see. I love Floor and her ability to cross genre. Angelina had that ability a 6 years old, writes her own versions of a cover age 9 and she just now turned 15.
@@abstracting6411 Sorry best Male singer has no comparison. Robert Plant.
For me the best male singer in heavy metal is none other than the late RONNIE JAMES DIO. Freddie Mercury is just an OK singer.
Who the fuck clicked a thumb down here? :D Hahhah! :D This singer is one of the best and the most versatile female singer I have ever seen in my life! :)
It seems there's nothing Floor can't sing but what makes her standout to me is that she doesn't just stand there and sing you a song, she sings you a story. Truly amazing talent.
I really do not understand the comparison between singers. Floor fits Nightwish like Tarja and Annette did. But who cares if she's the best of not. I think certainly Floor does not give a f**k.
Floor is good and all.. But we all know the best singer ever is...
Emppu
No, Marco!
Hahaha
You're right Emppu is the greatest of all time
@@gianmarcoaxl2003 that's what I'm talking about

Dimash kudaibergen is the best singer of all time I love floor but dimash has the most control over his voice that I have ever seen truly a master of voice check him out
Floor is the Female Dimash :)
She is absolutely amazing!
She and Nightwish made a new album , unbeleavable how she sings on it , she's surrely one of a kind 😍
There are so many words to describe Floor´s proffesional habilities, but she goes further than that, she is able to touch your heart in a video recorded long ago through a screen. You fall in love with her with her voice and interpretation. And Joining Nightwish was crucial to unleash her complete potential. I personally love her !
There are no words to express what I feel when I hear Floor's amazing voice!😂😂😂🎶🎶🎶🤷♂️
No words are enough to describe Floor Jansen
Floored.
What Floor definitely makes outstanding to all other singers in this world is her unique capability to switch from one style to another within a split of a second. Or better I don't know any others on this planet which is able to do so seamless, effortless and still absolute control about her voice.
there are more singers that are able to switch styles like tatjana from jinjer or Alicia White-Gluz from Arch Enemy but they are not as versatile as Floor and they are not delivering such emotions with their vocals
Tbh there are many, many singers who do that. There are not only singers who sing in several different genres, there are whole genres that are called "crossover" in which the singers switch between different styles and technique the whole time. So, yes, she can do that, and it's awesome, but you know... she's not the only one. Many even do that to a much higher degree...
As the person above stated, she's not the only one. Check Dimash out if you want to hear what defines a unique singer. Freddy Mercury was the best singer from past century, and i highly doubt someone is to reach or overcome Dimash on 21th century.
@@RangelGabriel Nope. You don't bring Dimash into this. He's not human, there's no comparison.
Though while he is pure perfection I still have to hear him growl. But then, how many people have even ever lived who go from barriton to soprano like it's nothing and have staccato for breakfast.

There is only one singing goddess.......... FLOOR
if Floor isnt the best,who is?
she is the best .
Didn't watch the video yet, but the answer to the title question is YES!
Now I've watched it and the answer is still YES! That Phantom clip is unreal and I watch the video from the last GLS clip almost every day.
This is quite funny, but so true.
To me she is, she definitely is. She can do everything, and she can do everything INCREDIBLY.
Nobody else can sing such different stuff like her. She is unbelievable!
Short Answer - Yes!
Beautiful tribute to Floor, thanks! ❤️
Floor Jansen wins best female voice in the whole universe...wow 😳
I see Floor and I click Like.
Maria Callas was named "La Divina" and has been one of the greatest Soprano of all time, but she was not singing in a metal band where Floor, instead, in my opinion, needs to step up with her beautiful and magic voice to get heard over thousands of screaming fans and the high volume music coming out from the rest of the band, so yes, Floor well deserve the first place ranking
But Floor is using a mic. Maria Callas probably wasn't. Not saying Floor couldn't make herself heard, just that you can't ignore the mic at all.
@@jimmyboy131 and as a consequence of not using a mic (among other things), Callas damaged her voice. Sadly. Doesn't take away from her talent, but imagine if she hadn't strained her pipes?
@@killerpeaches7 But opera singers typically don't use mics. It's a matter of technique which prevents damage to the voice, though I'm sure there are other factors. She knew all the techniques, no doubt.
@@killerpeaches7 With all due respect: you don't know much about classical singing, right?
@@killerpeaches7 In traditional opera singing are no mics used and they aren't needed. The vocal tract is formed in a way that maximizes its resonance space. Opera singing has much more resonance, volume and overtones than contemporary singing, while the main focus of classical vocal pedagogy is on vocal ease and sustainability. In classical singing you can sing with much more power and volume while even raising the ease. Classical singing is indeed much more sustainable than contemporary singing
I am completely biased because I just love Floor, but my personal feelings aside. I have never seen such a master over her voice, she knows exactly how to use that instrument to full affect. Her belts rock the heavens, her lows rumble the earth, and she can jump from one to the other with little effort. While she has honed that instrument and pushed it to it's best, not even the all. She has the innate ability to push any emotion she chooses on the listener, putty in her hands. Then you get to stage presence, oh my god, does she have it. I have seen her turn even the most negative crowds to fangirling men with tears in their eyes. She is the complete package, and with Nightwish, perfection to my ears. Nice video, and I think you know she is without a doubt the greatest I have ever heard, and I have heard many many talented vocalists.
floor jansen is the best singer to walk on planet earth, unmatched power and beauty, part 3 and 5 poet and the pendulem is the most beatiful sining ever
Ghost Love Score gives me goosebumps Everytime. The best.
'The Greatest Singer of all Time?'
Is that even a question?
Dutch goddess!
The scariest part is, most of those songs weren't even written for her to begin with. She just improved them.
They were written for her, the writer just didn’t know it at the time 😁
Sorry!! I love Floor, but to make an affirmation of such magnitude, you have to have heard many singers throughout history !! Yma Sumac is, in my opinion, the most incredible voice the human race has ever had !! I invite you to look for reactions to it and read a little of its history! It is my humble opinion! Cheers!
no...she is the greatest female vocalist of all time. G.O.A.T status..no arguments will be heard or acknowledged
Great compilation
So much i love Floor for her fantastic voice, and if you would say the greatest female singer of all time, yes. But you cant set her on the level as greatest singer of all time if you have not listen to Dimash Kudaibergen. Please, dont hang me now. I like Floor personally much more, but the capability of Dimash is not of this world.
There are so many radical Floor fans who attack everyone who says it. They also attack vocal coaches who say it. They attack all vocal coaches who say that a) Dimash is the best singer in the world (and all who call someone the best say it about him), all who say that Tarja has a better singing technique than Floor, and all who point out Floor's technical flaws. Toxic fandom (not all, but many). I love Floor, I love parts of her fandom, but many are really nasty, brutal and savage
agree on Dimash :)
need to agree. he's phenomenal
Dimash and metal ? No way !

Dimash is not human anymore he is perfect and I think every legend will say that no one can beat dimash!
But from all "human" Singer is Freddy one of the best of all time
@@DaddyMyers94 Yeah,you're right.We all loved him when he was a singer.But now I love Dimash
Hi Steve, ty for this compilation !
"Greatest singer of all times ?" WOW, PRZZZZ THAT is a claim ! I am a huge fan of her, BUT how do you measure that ?
I would say: There has never been a singer LIKE her before.
Her versatility is mindblowing, beeing so good in so many different styles of singing. Combined with her stage presence that makes her unique, thats sure ! But "best singer" is always a question of taste. You cant measure that.
Let's play a game. You will get a random song in any possible genre or language and you have to choose someone to sing it before knowing what type of song you will get. It could be absolutely anything imaginable from classical to jazz, pop, metal, opera or anything you can think of. Who would you pick?
I'd pick Floor. Dimash would be the only one who I'd be slightly worried putting Floor against, and that is telling a lot.
This is not a question about taste, but about the pure ability to sing anything. Yeah, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Freddie Mercury, Dio, Elvis, Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder are all amazing... The list of amazing singers who could be included in this debate is endless. However, I have not seen any of the usual greats who are normally included in this debate (like Aretha, Freddie and Dio) pull so many different types of styles, techniques and songs in multiple different languages the way Floor and Dimash do.
If Floor is not the best, she at least deserves the spot in the debate about who is the greatest singer of all time. Because if not THE best, she is definitely one of the best, ever. From a purely technical standpoint that isn't a subjective matter of taste.
@@TTArt Floor would be my first choice for that as well, but a close 2nd would be Mike Patton for being able to do almost any style as well.

Well, I love Floor, but with that specific question, I'd obviously choose Dimash. Especially if you even mention languages.
For two simple reasons:
1) Dimash has more than double her range (3 octaves vs more than 6 1/2). He can sing lower than the lowest notes of the bass range and more than two octaves higher than the highest notes of the soprano range. Floor has an AMAZING range, but if she gets e.g. a song for a baritone or a song that needs the whistle register (e.g. Ariana Grande or Mariah Carey), she's screwed.
2) Floor is amaaaazingly versatile, but Dimash is even more. He sings pretty much everything. First of all his main genre is classical crossover and he doesn't only mix classical music with pop (with is what most singers do), he mixes it with many other genres, which is really unusual. And I'm pretty sure he's the only one who does it like tha. Then he has other genres, like pure classical singing, pure pop (of various different cultures and countries), folk music (of various different countries), world music an jazz. But he also does e.g. RnB, rock (and yup, he does both clean screams and distorted ones, and his heavy twang he likes to use for hs upper belts iss actually also rather a technique of rock, hard rock, power metal, hair metal, glam metal and stuff), metal (yes, he DOES growl), musical theater, soul, choral music, he raps, he does scatting,he does beatboxing, ancient ethnic chants (e.g. Middle-Eastern melismas and Yakutian riffs) etc
And he does everything at a very high level and with a flawless technique. He has university degrees in both classical and contemporary (with focus on pop and jazz) singing. Has musical theater education etc
Oh, and he also sings in 12 different languages, can sing songs and classical pieces for literally all voice types and sings in all 4 human vocal registers (Floor sings in two). And he plays several different instruments on stage etc (in case that is needed too, to accompany yourself on an instrument like e.g. Freddie Mercury)
But tbh: he also does several vocal acrobatics she doesn't do... and is probably also more agile hmm
@@Roman-yt8up I actually agree with you. From a purely technical standpoint Dimash is the most impressive vocalist I have ever heard. You explained most of the reasons why. And hence the mention about Dimash being the only one I'd worry picking Floor to go against.
The only reason why I would still pick Floor instead of Dimash is more of a personal preference towards her way of conveying emotion through her performances and vocal tone. Floor moves me every single time she sings. Dimash awes me with his talent and ability. Thus while Dimash could no doubt sing at even wider spectrum of songs, I believe I would prefer Floor in every single one that matches both of their vocal range.
@@TTArt This is a very hypothetical question and will never happen XD thus, it's relevance is debatable. even though it's a very intersting thought. But tbh... I would probably also choose Dimash
Nightwish - Everdream is one of my favorite songs EVER. She absolutely nails that song. There have been 3 different vocalists for that song now. I really love Annette's, but Floor is the best. I hope Nightwish has a long career with her as lead for many many more yeaars.
She's the best 😍💙❤️💙💙💙
Heard this woman for the first time a week ago (WHAT!!!)). one of the greatest voices I have ever heard and completely exciting.
Go and listen to Ghost Love Score, then The Phantom of the opera duet with Henk, then her cover of Que se siente and then watch her whole performance of the Greatest show on Earth. Brilliance is too small a word for Floor.
It's not competion, but IMHO she is the most versatile singer of our time
In North America, she is not well known, but Nightwish and Floor Jansen are very famous in the EU.
There can only be one......FLOOR
Thanks for the Floor compilation! Love her voice. Dimash, however is the individual I would consider the best singer right now.
Living in Sweden, but is Dutch.
Greatest singer of all time ?
Unanswerable, but extremely good and versatile definitely.
Maybe it's not correct thinking about a singer ranking, the same about guitar player ranking, drummer ranking, but there is a very very small group of people, their mere presence on the stage is beautiful and then they start singing or playing and we can only watch, no words required.
Floor is one of them.
Floor is a Goddess
The Last moment of the phantom of the ópera is an epic floorgasm
DIMASH KUDAIBERGEN
Ew.
She IS THE BEST singer for me! I love her voice ♥️
ghost love score ....and THAT MOMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!.....my god ....what can i say , unfvckingbelievable .......just wow....:)
