    Floor did these covers, for her fans, during the Covid lock down....This beautiful Lady, along with Nightwish brought me back to music, I'm 80 years old, and never thought I'd be a metal fan, but when I first heard Nightwish back in 2016 I was hooked....Great reaction from a gorgeous Redhead, my Mom was a Redhead, brings back memories....Bob from NJ

    Especially when Floor performs solo, you quickly get the feeling that you are not on the sidelines, but in the middle of the story. She takes every single fan by the hand and puts a warming blanket around her listeners with her voice. You can't learn that - it's a gift.

    Floor is one of the main reasons I am grateful for my channel. I would have never discovered her otherwise. She is an empath, which is part of the reasons you FEEL when she is on the mic. She feels... you feel. She is a vocal powerhouse, a beautiful human, and it is no surprise she backed by an army who adore her. The further you go on your journey, the more you realize just how special she is. Enjoy the ride!

      It's even more extreme live, especially when you're just a few meters away from her. Whether with Nightwish or as a solo artist. She throws emotions into the audience with her singing and the more the audience reacts, the more she throws at you. You can almost physically feel her reaction and emotions to a moving audience. What I find particularly impressive is that you can even feel it in live recordings, you can't learn something like that, you either have it or you don't.
      And if you have the opportunity to experience Floor live and think you're prepared for what to expect from all the videos .... no, you're not!
      If I had only felt once in church what I felt at Nightwish concerts or Floor solo .... then I would probably be a priest now. That's why I don't think the comparison with a Valkery is sooo wrong. In mythology, Valkyries collect the souls of fallen warriors. To me, everyone is a warrior, especially when they stumble, and Floor/Nightwish have the ability to take you to a better place, at least for a short time. That's why I'm not at all surprised that many people say that Nightwish/Floor helped them a lot in difficult times.
      And then Floor is also so damn nice when you meet her in person.

    I'm glad you decided to continue exploring, and so quickly after your first 2 reactions. I love the way you sink into Floor's voice, that's a sign to me that you'll come back, again and again. Of course, you have a new subscriber here.
    Floor gave us this cover, as well as 7 others, during the lockdown, covering a void that each of us felt then, many of us isolated and alone. She recorded it in her home studio, and the videographer was her husband, Hannes Van Dahl, drummer in the Swedish metal band Sabaton. The piano accompaniment was recorded by the Dutch composer and producer Joost van den Broek, who was her colleague (keyboard player) in her first band, After Forever. By the way, for all the covers recorded at home, Floor called on her colleagues and friends from the metal world for orchestration. For Floor, this chain of covers was a way to keep her voice in shape, as well as to keep in touch with the fans.
    After the success of the TV show Beste Zangers, Floor held a series of solo concerts in the Netherlands at the beginning of 2020. The last concert of this tour took place only at the beginning of September 2021 in Amsterdam, in 3 consecutive days, with all the restrictions imposed then. This last concert was professionally recorded and broadcast for free on all major streaming platforms as well as on her YT channel, following a crowdfunding campaign that reached its goal in just a few hours - I'm proud to have participated in this campaign, together with many other fans from all over the world.
    I await with great curiosity your next steps in this exploration.
    All the best, from Romania!

We flew to Gelsinkirchen Germany 🇩🇪 from far off South Africa 🇿🇦 where we watched a FIVE month PREGNANT Floor performing like she was in her twenties.

    If you want to see her do something different, namely putting a metal twist on an opera aria then watch Vilja Lied from the Beste Zangers show, which was the season's first performance and her introduction to the other musicians.

  • @WardDorrity
    @WardDorrity 4 місяці тому +27

    Behold the power of our Valkyrie Goddess. There's so much more. Here's the thing about Floor and Tuomas Holopainen - they have both called themselves "high sensitives," meaning that they are more deeply attuned to the world and the people around them than most folks. The truth is that they are both empaths - sigma, world-class empaths and rarer still, it's a two way connection for them. Floor in particular has the ability to not only experience all of the passion, sorrow, despair, longing and even anger in every note of every song she sings - she has the ability to transmit that directly to her listeners. Hence the term "Floorgasm" for what most folks experience (and not everyone does - dead souls and all that). Tuomas finally found in Floor the perfect conduit for his poetry and compositional genius.
    Most pop music is a dumpster fire of mediocrity at best, no-talent ugliness at worst and you are diminished for ever having listened to it. But then you have ensembles like Nightwish and Epica that are positively transcendental in their ability to connect with their listeners. There are others and you have to look for them. They have stories to tell that will rend your heart and uplift you at the same time.
    Oliver Anthony is a similar artist. Is he a musical virtuoso? Not really. Does he have one of those world-class voices? Nope. But he connects with you in a way that most do not and cannot.
    You've barely scratched the surface here, Red. And I'm so glad that you have the ability to connect with it. Not everyone does. Your life will be so much the better for it.
    By the way, if you want to get another take on Tuomas Holopainen's compositional genius, listen to the second CD from the Human |:| Nature album. It is almost entirely orchestral and it is ravishingly beautiful. It's Tuomas' love letter to the beauty of the natural world.

      I also know that at leat Floor (and probably also Tuomas) has absolute hearing AND they are both perfectionists to the bone. Strangely enough at least Floor is not difficult to work with, just very demanding according to the Marcel Fisser band of Beste Zangers show and of Floor's solo career.

  • @dolfvink7416
    @dolfvink7416 3 місяці тому +3

    A wonderfull reaction again.
    This is a "Covid cover" from Floor. She recorded this in her home studio and her husband, Sabaton drummer Hannes filmed this performance. I have seen her singing this song when I saw her for the first time live, when she was still with After Forever, her first band. AF keyboardist Joost Van den Broek made this arrangement and plays the piano in this cover.
    Floor and Nightwish got to know eachother when After Forever supported Nightwish in their European tour in 2002. They stayed in touch with eachother. Also when Tarja left the band, Floor stayed in touch with both the band and Tarja.
    After Forever disbanded in 2009 and then Floor formed her own band Revamp. Revamp disbanded after Floor was asked to join Nightwish as a full bandmember.

With that, you should react to her performance of Vilja Lied, which is a German opera aria, which she sang for Henk Poort on the first episode. I think you'll completely enjoy that!

    I think I heard her say in one of her Master Class videos that sitting down doesn't really affect her singing. Of course you can see she is sitting straight up when she is singing, which helps minimize the compression of the diaphragm. She sings sitting on a stool in many of her solo performances as well as the acoustic version of "How's the Heart" mentioned by other. Frankly, for this cover of Alone, she doesn't _need_ whatever extra air she might get into her lungs by standing up. Regarding her being back from the mic: That is not a normal run-of-the-mill mic. It costs around $6,000 and is the result of her search for a mic for her home studio that best captures her voice. I have seen her be varying distances from that mic, depending on the song.

    Hi! I’m glad you covered this one - it’s one of the performances that gives you a true sense of The Goddess’s power. As you noted, *sitting down* . Another great one to listen to and watch would be from a Nightwish acoustic session. It’s just her and Troy (the pipes, etc. player), performing an “unplugged” version of How’s The Heart. When she unleashes the power there it’s almost frightening! Whether or not you react is up to you, but definitely watch it!

    Don't forget to mention the amazing piano play by Floor's old friend and bandmate Joost van den Broek. Notice how skillful he leads Floor through the song. Many lady singers of the Ayreon clan know him, and do invite him if they need keyboard play for their projects.

    Check out Floor doing, Frozen ( yes the Disney Song). Couldn’t stand that song because of the grandkids constantly singing and replaying the movie over and over. Many of my friends who have children and grandchildren also could not stand that song. Floor singing it she brought a real emotional message and I love her version. Also check out on Besta Zangers her performance with Henk Porte of Phantom of the Opera. She could sing the menu of my favorite diner and this very old metal rock biker dude would be crying in my fries.Floor can take any song any genre and make it her own.

    A rumor says that Ann Wilson heard After forever at their tour in the US 2007. In a radio interview ( 2007 Denver) she said she heard a band from the Netherlands singing Alone and that she was blown away. I don't know if it's the truth, but it would'nt surprise anyone😂

    I feel you redheadedneighbour! This is one of the most powerful and most beautyful female voices in the world right now. It's kind of addictive, you can't get enough of it, or at least I can't. I discovered Floor's immaculate voice back in 2002, when she was the leadsinger of the Dutch symphonic metal band After Forever. Already then I knew "This is one to keep track of", and I tell ya, I'm so glad I did!

    I often think the universe is a shite sandwich that we are all forced to take a bite of. Life is hard, people suck, and the universe seems to work against you more often than not. even this little blue marble we call home, what we consider a safe haven in the vast, deadly wilderness of space, has killed 99% of all species to ever have lived. But in this dark, dangerous, and sometimes evil life... magic happens.
    A beam of light shines through the darkness, the impossible crosses paths with the improbable and becomes a reality, and I believe that's what's happening with Floor and Nightwish. NW was great w/ Tarja... and Floor was great with After Forever, but when Tuomas invited Floor to join them on tour and eventually had her join as the permanent lead vocalist for Nightwish... something cosmic happened. Something that likely should have never been possible... something that took hundreds of other actions and descisions to become a reality- did. Everything aligned just so. Tuomas is one of the great story writers in music... period. Whether he's joyous in love and wonder, or deep in dispair and contemplating suicide, he has a way of putting that to music that is singular. Floor, as you somewhat mentioned here, has a perfect voice for stories... so you take one of the great song/story writers and give him one of the best storytellers... and it's literal magic.
    I believe this is why the NW Army is so loyal, so vocal about their band, and why even to this day when a reaction channel pops up and tries NW, we all come out to support and help the newbie along on their NW journey, taking the journey again ourselves through you. I believe Tuomas and Floor save lives. I really do. You'll see. You're 2 or 3 songs in now, but there's 30 years of magic here to uncover... :)

  • @andyohil7465

    In the vast landscape of music, there are moments that transcend the ordinary, moments when passion and dedication intertwine to create something truly extraordinary. Today, I find myself compelled to express my gratitude to the Toumas of such a moment, the individual responsible for curating an experience that resonates deeply within the hearts of many.
    It is a rare and beautiful thing to witness an artist channeling such profound emotion, and it becomes even more special when that devotion is reciprocated by an audience that truly understands and appreciates the artistry. In this case, you play a crucial role in fostering an environment where this connection between artist and audience could thrive.
    It's truly heartwarming to witness such an outpouring of appreciation and devotion. The sense of camaraderie among fans, particularly the Nightwish army, is a testament to the unique bond forged through the music of Floor Jansen. This shared love for her craft creates a community that is both supportive and passionate, making the musical journey all the more enriching.
    There's a particular moment in the song that encapsulates the essence of Floor Jansen's impact - "chills are going to the bone." When she sings, those words become more than lyrics; they become a tangible reality. The shivers that run down the spine, the goosebumps that adorn the skin - it's a visceral experience, and it speaks volumes about the power she wields with her voice.
    You who graciously shared this experience with us all, I extend my heartfelt gratitude. Your role in bringing together a community of music lovers, bound by their admiration for Floor Jansen, is truly commendable. The enthusiasm and sincerity you bring to your reactions enhance the overall enjoyment of the music, creating a space where the love for art can thrive.
    So, redheadedneighbor, I implore you to continue this journey. Your efforts are not only acknowledged but deeply appreciated. We eagerly await your next videos, ready to immerse ourselves once more in the magic that music, and particularly Floor Jansen's performances, can conjure.
    In the grand symphony of life, it's moments like these that remind us of the beauty found in shared experiences and the profound impact of music on our souls. Thank you for being a part of this beautiful harmony.

    All of the Nightwish musicians have side projects so you have several very interesting rabbitholes to dive down. That's especially true of Tuomas and Marko. I like the idea of you looking at Romanticide, from Wacken 2013. It will give you the beginnings of an indication of just how versiatile Nightwish is.

    Hello again, redheadedneighbor. I am loving your reactions to Nightwish and Floor. She is such an incredible vocalist and person. I am glad to see you continuing down our rabbit hole into Wonderland. By the way, not that you need to react to it, but you would really enjoy watching the documentary "Learn the Setlist in 48 Hours". This is about the circumstances that caused Nightwish to call Floor after firing their previous female lead vocalist, Annette Olzon, in the midst of their world tour. It is stunning how this woman came into this band, flying from Europe to link up with them in Seatle in the midst of so much turmoil (and having to learn the entire Nightwish concert setlist in 48 hours before her first show with them). Fun and emotional stuff. Anyway, thank you for this.

    If you want a far left field Floor, watch Beste Zangers " Que Si Siente" , basically a latin beat song ( with heavy Floor overtones). In Spanish, a language she doesn't speak. The original songwriter /performer of the song nearly has his head explode.

    We are the lucky ones - knowing of her abilities - and getting the experiences she shares with us.
    From now on, music might get another meaning for you...

Great that Floor used the downtime during covid pandemic to record songs in her home studio and placed them on UA-cam, helped by some amazing artists and Hannes holding the camera - he has talent!
