    According to the composer-keyboard player Tuomas, Floor is the best in the world at what she does. And I agree. But we must not forget that it is in fact Tuomas who creates 95% of this music and lyrics which Floor then brings to life. Tuomas writes emotional music, he is a storyteller and a poet. His ability to create emotions through music is incredible. Together with Floor and the rest of the band they create magic. Floor alone is fantastic, I've seen her perform solo, but with Nightwish she shines even brighter.

      Tuomas is a true genius. When Floor joined it all came together for me. No disrespect to the previous vocalists they were great. She felt like THE voice of Tuomas. Unfortunately more members of Nightwish quit. But these two remain the heart and soul of Nightwish for me 🙏

      @@DesertEagleDutch I've been around a long time and having heard so many great bands live I thought with the type of music that is around today I would never find another great band and then this year UA-cam brought me Nightwish. As a live band they are unsurpassed by any other I have heard in my long life and Floor is by far the best female singer ever she has the whole package.

    If you want Disney movie stuff, then look on Floors own UA-cam Channel. She's sung things from Frozen. Also on her channel she has things from her solo career, from when she was in the band After Forever, and Coffee, Question & Answers which is her sitting down with a coffee and answering questions from her viewers.
    There's also a lot of stuff for during the pandemic where she posted about what she went around doing at home.
    Regarding catching them live, they won't be touring their next album, so Nightwish are on a tour hiatus for now. They haven't talked about for how long, just "for now".

    To know Floor better, just go to her UA-cam channel. She left so many presents there ready to unpack. During lockdown she discovered UA-cam and did interviews with other singers and people she admires; did many covers of songs she likes (also 2 covers of songs from Frozen! for her daughter Freya); did some masterclasses and many videos with personal insights and did even a reaction video herself to the performance of 'Ghost Love Score' at Wacken 2013. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish. There are so many interviews to find on UA-cam and collaberations with other bands.

    Fun fact: Floor is one of only three people I'm aware of that moved to Sweden as an adult but learned to speak the language without an accent. The first one is a Ukranian personal (girl) friend of mine, who indeed is also a musician and briefly played keyboards in the acclaimed goth metal band Draconian. The second one is current Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner, who lived in Sweden for a while as a hot dog salesman (!) and still speaks the language flawlessly. Amazing for a Brit! And the third one is Floor, these days residing on the Swedish west coast with her two children and husband/Sabaton drummer Hannes Van Dahl. Once shy about her height, she now embraces it to the point of wearing her high heels even indoors! Her husband, however, is even taller. Of her Nightwish bandmates, only Tuomas Holopainen can say the same: measuring 188 centimeters to Floors 183.

      Floor really has a talent for foreign languages: Dutch (native speaker), English, Swedish, a little bit Finnish, rather good German. And when she sings in languages she doesn't speak (e.g. Spanish, Italian, Latin) her pronuncation is so good that even native speakers are surprised.

    P.S. Floor only studied musical theater part time for a year, just like she did opera. She guit her opera studies as she found that style on singing limiting her ability to use her voice in many different ways.

    If you haven't checked out the band Sabaton from Sweden, you should. A lot (all?) of their songs are about real events like WWI and WWII. There's a song about Alvin York and a song called Night Witches - I'll let you find out about it. I think there's a song about the Red Baron. Not only good songs, but historically important. Alvin York was in the infantry - the 82nd, which was later converted to the 82nd Airborne. Then there's the group Amaranthe that performed the song about York ("82nd All The Way") with Sabaton in concert. Sabaton's drummer is Floor's husband. Amaranthe has several great songs, but one particularly moving songs is called "True" - here I strongly recommend the music video.

    Floor never wanted to be a music star. She has been a metalhead since her youth and her first band, After Forever, already played symphonic metal. She first attended a rock academy and then a conservatory to learn the basics of classical singing. She expressly denies being an opera singer. She would have had to study longer for that.
    A musical student applied to replace the first singer Tarja, but was not accepted by Nightwish due to her lack of experience. She had already had dance lessons as a child. But that was completely pointless, she was only ever in metal bands and is now very well known. The song is not one of the best, but it fits:
    Amaranthe - True (Official Music Video)
    Floor will definitely go on tour next year, but with her solo program and most likely not in the US. At the moment she is limiting herself to the Netherlands and DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). We'll see if that's enough for her. I can imagine partners with whom she could go on tour. Nightwish will not perform next year and mastermind Tuomas has no plans for 2026. Tuomas himself and probably the other members will tour with their side projects in 2025. We will see a lot of Nightwish in Europe without Nightwish being active. It will be difficult on other continents. The ex-members Tarja+Marko are touring all over the world.
    You should think twice if you want to be Floor. She also has a burnout that cost her 18 months of therapy and inability to work. She is a workaholic who is in danger of losing control of herself. That happened to her again last year when she had to cancel concerts. She sings so well because she is trained like a competitive athlete.
    The song itself is part of the concept album/film score Imaginaerum. It introduces the main character.

I stopped going to concerts after my illness and honestly enjoy DVD/Bluray versions of concerts that I can watch from my comfy recliner without having to stand for almost two hours and can pause between songs to get snacks and for bathroom breaks.

Also, I watch reactions to Floor's cover songs and her Beste Zanger's performances. Other reactions to (Floor) ReVamp - Disdain Live at Graspop (2010), Nightwish - High Hopes (End Of An Era DVD) [HD], (Floor) NORTHWARD - While Love Died (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO), Nightwish - While Your Lips Are Still Red (Live at Wembley Arena), NIGHTWISH - The Islander (LIVE AT TAMPERE), and a couple songs from her Live in Amsterdam 2021 show. That's about it. One more thing, your heads cover most of the video. Never cover up Floor while she's singing. She is best when you can see all of her from head to toe.

    and after you have finished your first "down slowed" version of a Nightwish Video, i HIGHLY recommend to use the original videos, or content from YTChannel "Nightwish Arena" for best possible quality and CORRECT SPEED there is to find in youtube.
    please, i hate these slow downed tunes, even Floor´s voice can´t handle this sh...
    thanks
