Despite of the bad news, Floor is thinking of others. From her letter:"If I might inspire you to take good care of yourself, then something good will come out of this cancer diagnosis.''
With Tuomas and Floor, Nightwish is led by two musical geniuses who currently do not exist a second time in this world.They make every song a great masterpiece.I pray for Floor and her family.🙏❤
Tampere is where i saw the light of the day for the first time. A beautiful town with two lakes and Tammerkoski (river) floating through the city center. Tampere will always stay in my heart. I saw Nightwish in concert there in April this year. They played in The new Nokiaareena. A night to remember. All my love to Floor..she is such a sweet soul. All the best to you to..such a sweet soul to.❤️
I am so sorry I missed this live. Christi, you really get and feel what we love so much about Floor and Nightwish, and I just love and appreciate that about you so much. I have literally watched this performance dozens if not 100 times, still hits me in the feels. So beautifully played and sung. I love so much that moment towards the middle, she knows almost all eyes and ears are on her, turns and bows to the band, so simple yet powerful her sharing that spotlight with her brothers, setting the stage for her beautiful voice. The wink at the very end, had to be for her mother and father who were in attendance and watching this whole show, tears, pride and joy written all over their faces.
i have the utmost confidence in the care Floor is receiving. She deserves the best. No other singer has EVER, in my 77 years, caused me to squirm with joy and Floorgasms,, no matter how many times i watch.The melding of the personalities, hurried and rushed tho they were at the time, has given us decades of fantasy and love as these Troubadours (as you said) travel this world.
Thank you so much for the well wishes for Floor. She is one rare and special performer with the heart and soul of an Angel. Floor specifically requested that this song be included in the set list. The song was written to celebrate the 1999 European eclipse of the sun.
Tuomas wrote this about the solar eclipse in 1999. The 222 days of light refers to the time of jan1st to aug8th the day of the eclipse. 222 days. Floors parents are at this show.
As somebody already commented, this song is about a solar eclipse in 1999. The story goes, Tuomas/Nightwish were asked to write & record a song to celebrate the occasion, and they said yes. But they were given instructions not to write a song longer than 4 min. Such strict guidelines annoyed Tuomas (who already was fond of super long songs) so much that he made the song/recording 4 min and 1 sec long. 😂 From a singer's perspective, this song really needs a professional singer to sound good! Having lived in Finland when this song came out and got popular and, hence, was performed in every karaoke bar and school spring festival there is... amateur singers just butcher it. You need to get it just right not to make it sound cheesy (because the lyrics lean towards cheese a bit, IMHO). Or terribly off-key. There's no place to breathe! For me, Floor really brings the song alive. Don't get me wrong, Tarja's original version is BEAUTIFUL but only after I heard Floor's interpretation, I connected to the song emotionally - the song was something more than just pretty sounds.
Amazing performance. This song shows that Tuomas writes a song when he had a story to tell and Floor - as the empath she is - she feels exactly what the song needs to tell his story with a load of feelings.
I love the beautifully warm, sweet tone on "last" that Floor creates in this performance. That and the general exquisiteness of Nightwish. They are a gift to the world. Lovely reaction and appreciation. Thanks for sharing.
When you see the crowd singing along with their eyes closed, you feel it too.. For me that's the magic in live music. And Nightwish knows how to bring the feels haha.. Thank you for this amazing reaction!
I love your reaction and analysis. A few words that stick out.... generosity of spirit and love. Totally agree. I think that is what has made me break out in tears so many times with Nightwish/Floor. The love that pours out of them and deeply reminds me of the love that I am but tend to forget so easily. Thanks you. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Christie, that day, her parents were in the audience, all of Nightwish knew. When later in a dutch TV-show she was confronted with the proud faces of her parents, she started to cry happy tears. I wanted you to know that about her. Stay safe and sound. Elmar from Germany.
very lovely and profound reaction Christi, perhaps Floor gets to hear this sometime, we know she is occasionaly checking the YT reactions; so uplifting, I love the vocal deconstruction and in addition you can also feel the love and dedication you have for Floor. The Tampere Concert has so many masterpieces, please keep on 🐺🤘 and yes I visit your Saturday Live Reactions 💥💥👍👍
Beautiful and such a wonderful reaction to this song. This is one of my very favorite performances of this, along with the Masters of Rock show. Our lovely Floor is dealing with so much scary and emotional stuff. For her to say, "I want to live, I want to watch my daughter grow into a woman" says so much about how frightening the diagnosis of cancer is. She has a positive prognosis on her surgery and so many fans pulling for her, yet how terrifying it must be to worry about the results of the lymph node tests to come back. I think we all could just put our arms around her right now and pray for her complete recovery. Rest, sweet Floor, and heal.
I love love LOVE Floor's voice and her version of this beautiful, amazing piece. But as this is a Tarja era piece and it's her I first heard this singing, it's her version my inner mind's ears supply first. It's one of the first song of Nightwish I'd ever listened to and one of the songs I both sang to the little girl I did babysit as a teen and to our first dog when he was still a puppy, so... fond memories 😌
One of my favorite things with Floor is with that belt following the solo she maintains the feeling and emotion in her voice to keep the song consistent. That is where Floor separates herself from other vocalists.
Christi, I love your reactions to Nightwish and Floor. Since the first time, long time ago. You are able to tell everybody that you're a Nightwish Army Soldier. Go for it...say it loud....🧡🤘🧡
Is there a band or vocalist who can cause so many goosebumps so many times in one song. They grab you by your soul, take you on this emotional journey. There is so much life, so much passion! Thank you Toumas and Nightwish for inviting me to travel on this journey with your leading us along with so much care. I am eternally grateful.
I have missed seeing your videos. I know you still have regularly posted, but I’ve had to take a step back from UA-cam for a while to focus on my depression and mental health. It’s a lifelong battle I’ve had since I was 3 years old. I love your outlook on things. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Such a joy to listen to this tonight.
The emotions are strong in this song.... It's according to Floor also one of her most beloved Nightwish songs and I think you can clearly hear and see that in every movement of her body....
I am doing the best I can, as two vertebrae in my lumbar area are bulging and have slipped in opposite directions. I am on muscle relaxers & a mild Opioid for the severe sciatica pain and the back pain. I also cannot walk for more than a couple of steps without collapsing, so I use a walker to get around. I am also taking nerve blockers to be able to function at all....as the two discs are putting pressure on my spinal cord, causing all sorts of weird feelings in my lower body. Nightwish helps me keep my spirits up...as sitting up to work on my paintings is quite painful...so I listen to music.
Glad to not be the first comment here, because ... you know who you are ... ;) Beautiful song, beautiful performance. She manages to be both tender and powerful, mesmerizing and energizing. Really loved this one. Her transitions and breath control are out of this world. I know this is not news, but it is mind-boggling every single time. Thank you, Christi, for preparing this reaction for us! Happy post-Elton-John-concert to you! Bask in concert-glow and ear-worms! xoxo from peak foliage in NYC.
Must disagree here since right now, I really don't know who I am, haha. But.. I did notice the delay: 3min.. Three whole minutes! C'mon Annie, you're slacking 😁 Perhaps it's the particular Dutchie meds I'm on. Should make me slow down, yet the opposite happens. Like coffee, which makes me sleep rather than stay up. Anyhew, this performance was great. Loved the "operatic" nuances Floor managed to sneak in. Cheers from Spaceland somewhere near Dutchiestan..
@@BrendonChase_2015 Slacking? Me? I thought I was IMPROVING by giving more time ... ;) I mean, 3 minutes is 180 seconds. A whole 180!! 🙂 Feel better!!! And, yeah, meds can do funny things, and just because there are 'common reactions' don't mean that we less common peeps should respond that way, too, eh? Have a lovely weekend, and ... yes, great performance!!!
this was written during the Tarja era of Nightwish, which is still amazing what she can do with songs not even written for her. but you are right that Tuomas has such a great singer he can work with. and he knows how to get the best out of each member. I've never really been personally invested in a celebrity figure, but Floor from interviews and her you tube channel really feels like a best friend I've never met.
I really love this song ❤. Great to see you in the livestream Christi and I share your emotions when it comes to Floor. So nice you had this great experience yesterday at the Elton concert. And Brendon, I hope you feel better soon. 🫶🤘🇳🇱
Thanks man, working on it. Fortunately, I have an ample supply of RSO (canna oil) handy which will see me through 'till my chiropractor's appointment (7 days to the Ziggo Dome). I reckon head banging's off the table for that concert, haha. Cheers & cu! 🤘
Just love your analysis and respect for Floor. One thing crossed my mind. What did Tuomas find when he opened his “Dark Chest of Wonders” He found Floor Jansen of course. 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Remember, this song was actually written for Tarja. Floor is so versatile, she can sing the songs of Traja and Annette. I love when Floor is performing, she acknowledges the other performers on the stage. In this one, she points to Empuu for his solo, and doesn't just point and drop her arm. She moves her arms and shows she loves it as well. In GLS 2013, she points to Jukka after "the Note". Praying for her full recovery.
I, among many, many, men, and some women , love Floor. Siren, Valkyrie, succubus, goddess in leather, whatever you choose, you would be right. My best wishes to Floor and her medical problems, and hope to see her fully recover and keep on raising the hair on my arms and neck. Love you Floor.
You definitely need another amazing rabbit hole and I can't think of a better one than Poets of the Fall and preferably their Alexander Theater Sessions. Thank you. ❤
This is yet another trademark of Nightwish, each repeat of the chorus is done slightly different. A different volume, changing of volume during the chorus, changing the key or tempo. They keep things moving. They so remind me of Renaissance from the 70's. Checkout Renaissance Live at Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic.
Had the privilege to meet Floor and she was so kind and even more beautiful in real life. Even her speaking voice is lovely. So sad to hear of her diagnosis.
Fun story about this song....Tuomas didn't really want to write it. He was asked to write a song about the 1999 solar eclipse, and Tuomas said that is not how he writes/composes songs. He finally gave in, and as he does, wrote this MASTERPIECE!
Love this song. So emotional. It was heartbreaking to see her break down at the end of this song when she performed it in Antwerp a couple of weeks ago. But great to see she's back touring, and sounding just as good as ever.
Floor’s parents being at this show….How proud they must be to see the positive and joyous effect their daughter and this band has on thousands of people must be almost overwhelming for them.
Anyone found the Spotify link for this? I keep getting Tarja which is great as well, but why settle for one amazing singer if you can have two on your playlist.
I saw them in Melbourne 2016, the night the news of David Bowie's death went public. It was a very emotional night all around. They played 7 Days to the Wolves and it was INCREDIBLE.
Floor says she hopes to be ready by the time the new tour starts now in November, but considering that those treatments such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy take 3 to 9 weeks, or longer, I hope the guys postpone the dates of the upcoming tour a bit, to give her enough time to heal and recover, not only from the therapy itself, but from its side effects. Floor is a strong woman, there is no doubt about that, but she is human, and I know that she would be able to go on stage even if she's feeling sick, as she has done before, and I'm also sorry if I offend or annoy those who are waiting to see them live, and read my comment, please don't come at me, I'm only thinking of the greater good of Floor and her health
I am with you regarding her state is most important and not the tour, I think radiotherapy will be 3 Months after surgery….but Floor need to take care on herself. She is unbelieveable she did tour in South America knowing about her disease - with Performance and commitment to the fans who are awaiting NW for a long time. My respect for Floor is higher than ever and I am a huge Floor fan for a long time. Her performance for me in general is unmatched - and she has the genius of tuomas, a combination out of this world.
Great comment and don't worry. Can't imagine anyone coming at you. I believe (like Diego said) that Floor's radiotherapy treatment will commence 3 months after surgery. That's probably why Floor said she'd be back for the November part of the tour. Cheers!
Prayers and best wishes for Floor. This is one of the Nightwish songs that drew me in. I love Tarja's version, and Floor's performance is a masterpiece. Written by Tuomas to celebrate a solar eclipse. Beautiful.
Floor nailed this song in an amazing way, but it was written specifically to fit Tarja's voice. I really recommend listening to that version as well. (Just for your personal entertainment)
This is definitely my Favourite Nightwish song, ... every time I hear it ... - Just a point about your comment around "... the end of the Pandemic" - It is NOT over yet. The Care Home where my 95 year old Father lives has just gone into lockdown again due to more than 4 new cases of Covid. Every day I still take all the precautions, cleanse my hands, wear a mask in public. Not for me, for my family :)
This song was already written in 1998 and sent by Tarja (also beautiful but completely different from Floor's version). Anette has also sung this, but in my opinion without any connection with the song (poppy). But everything Floor sings brings about so much feeling, just magical, she is the best vocalist for Nighwish.🎶🎶🤟🏻🤟🏻
Sleeping Sun was launched on 11th of August 1999, the same day with the solar eclipse which occurred in part of Europe and Asia that year. Now if you take the exact verses which contain "222" you have: 222 days of light will be desired by the night. coincidence or not, there are exactly 222 days starting 1st of January till August 10th inclusive. - valid for non-leap years. NWSU 🤘😎🤘
Well, not written with Floor in mind as the singer of course. This was written for Tarja. However, it is a good thing that Floor reinterpreted it, because she has so much more ability to tell a story and her emotional range is so much greater. With Tarja it was a fine song, undermined by poor accent (not Tarja's fault, I can't speak Finnish, let alone sing it...) ; by a pretty poor emotional range due to much less variety in her voice; and by lack of control over her vibrato. Don't get me wrong - Nightwish songs were always brilliantly written and competently performed - but my ear could only take 30 mins or so of Tarja at a time before I needed something else for some variety. With Floor I don't need that. I can happily listen to a couple of hours. Of course, live in concert with the atmosphere going, I could listen to an hour of concert quite easily with any of the singers - lots of distractions!
Best Wishes to Floor she adds too much the "Humanities Music" to be Lost. This is a Great Performance of this epic styled Song, Tarja recorded two versions of this Song in the early 2000s, now Floor adds Her Take to the Composition and Makes it Her Own.

Hello Coach Thanks for the reaction ;) New subscriber, I hope you don't mind if l ask you to react to a Filipino girl group sings ‘BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER’ (SO HYANG VERSION) by 4TH IMPACT Sincere thanks.
Your Breakdown & Comments of Floor's Performance Was Spot On & Insiteful ! Nightwish Is Brilliant ! Floor Is My Favourite Symphonic Metal Singer Of All Time ! I'd Even Say She is My First Choice Female Singer Period ! You Won't Ever See Her At Any American Awards Shows Going Up Against Taylor Swift or Beyonce ! Flood Jansen & Nightwish Would Smash Any of Them Signers In That Part of The World , You Won't Here Nightwish On The Radio In USA Either 😣👎 Nightwish is to Big & Epic For Their Radio , Can You Imagine Nightwish Being The Opening Act to Open The Grammy Or Billboard Awards Night With Greatest Show On Earth ? Taylor Swift & Beyonce/ JZ/ Cardi B Wouldn't Know What Hit Then & Would Probably Feel Slightly Embarrassed Stepping Up to Collect Their 2 or 4 Awards For Their 3min Little Pop Songs That Repeats Repeats & NOT Even Half Epic ! Am i Being Harsh ? Or Truthful ? With Respect 😘 Steve From Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 🏄♂️😊
You must react to Tommy Johansson The leadguitarist in Sabaton and singersongwriter in Majestica He have his own youtubechannel with a lot of amacing cowers He is also the guy behind the music of a lot of Floors cowers He is an multiinstrumentalist and play all the instrument himself His voice is amacing Maybe you shold start with The power of love Celine Dion cower No it's not a joke His range is cracy
It will be a lumpectomy, lobectomy are usually organs like the lungs. Soz it was my job got years oncology. Very good reaction though you know your stuff there and I'm just an amateur who appreciates good music😁
If you get a chance, check out the version from Antwerp, the first live concert after the surgery: ua-cam.com/video/GZrSZeBpDKU/v-deo.html. Floor gets so emotional she breaks down at the end. She really feels what she's singing.
Floor Jansen is just too awesome for words(but I'll try). She is a consummate vocal artist, even to the point of asking Tuomas if she can change some words and phrases in his songs and he almost always says yes after she sings the changes for him in practice. Tuomas has said if he loses Floor he will retire from Nightwish and we all know what that will mean. 😭😭😭
Despite of the bad news, Floor is thinking of others. From her letter:"If I might inspire you to take good care of yourself, then something good will come out of this cancer diagnosis.''
Yes Floor is a humble person. Think about others first, embraces and honouring the band members and the audience.
Floor is an amazing vocalist, in fact she is the reason that I love Nightwish so much. She is a charismatic story teller
That part when her angelic voice flows over in the guitar is such a good part.
With Tuomas and Floor, Nightwish is led by two musical geniuses who currently do not exist a second time in this world.They make every song a great masterpiece.I pray for Floor and her family.🙏❤
Kelsea H., your words - on the point! 👍

This is the best analysis of the song I was watching so far, thanks for that 🙏
This version is quite good, and rhythmic very appealing. The base line I found a nice challenge to dance tango to.
And one little notice, before Emppu's solo, I think she shows "Emppu now it's your turn to shine". Hope she get well soon.

This is yet another trademark of Nightwish, each repeat of the chorus is done slightly different. A different volume, changing of volume during the chorus, changing the key or tempo. They keep things moving. They so remind me of Renaissance from the 70's. Checkout Renaissance Live at Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic.
Had the privilege to meet Floor and she was so kind and even more beautiful in real life. Even her speaking voice is lovely. So sad to hear of her diagnosis.
Hello Christi, very good reaction IMO, very emphatic 😢- you are so nice. Greetings from Vienna.🎉
You Really understand!
Fun story about this song....Tuomas didn't really want to write it. He was asked to write a song about the 1999 solar eclipse, and Tuomas said that is not how he writes/composes songs. He finally gave in, and as he does, wrote this MASTERPIECE!
"Beauty will save the world" - Fjodor Dostojevski
Love this song. So emotional. It was heartbreaking to see her break down at the end of this song when she performed it in Antwerp a couple of weeks ago. But great to see she's back touring, and sounding just as good as ever.
Floor’s parents being at this show….How proud they must be to see the positive and joyous effect their daughter and this band has on thousands of people must be almost overwhelming for them.
Anyone found the Spotify link for this? I keep getting Tarja which is great as well, but why settle for one amazing singer if you can have two on your playlist.
I saw them in Melbourne 2016, the night the news of David Bowie's death went public. It was a very emotional night all around. They played 7 Days to the Wolves and it was INCREDIBLE.
I love this performance and song! ❤
Floor is an Angel may God bless her 😇
Floor says she hopes to be ready by the time the new tour starts now in November, but considering that those treatments such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy take 3 to 9 weeks, or longer, I hope the guys postpone the dates of the upcoming tour a bit, to give her enough time to heal and recover, not only from the therapy itself, but from its side effects. Floor is a strong woman, there is no doubt about that, but she is human, and I know that she would be able to go on stage even if she's feeling sick, as she has done before, and I'm also sorry if I offend or annoy those who are waiting to see them live, and read my comment, please don't come at me, I'm only thinking of the greater good of Floor and her health
I am with you regarding her state is most important and not the tour, I think radiotherapy will be 3 Months after surgery….but Floor need to take care on herself. She is unbelieveable she did tour in South America knowing about her disease - with Performance and commitment to the fans who are awaiting NW for a long time. My respect for Floor is higher than ever and I am a huge Floor fan for a long time. Her performance for me in general is unmatched - and she has the genius of tuomas, a combination out of this world.
Great comment and don't worry. Can't imagine anyone coming at you. I believe (like Diego said) that Floor's radiotherapy treatment will commence 3 months after surgery. That's probably why Floor said she'd be back for the November part of the tour. Cheers!
I agree after ten years, doing the job I know what chemo and radio do it's relentless and takes its toll. Good luck to our Floor.
Prayers and best wishes for Floor. This is one of the Nightwish songs that drew me in. I love Tarja's version, and Floor's performance is a masterpiece. Written by Tuomas to celebrate a solar eclipse. Beautiful.
Floor nailed this song in an amazing way, but it was written specifically to fit Tarja's voice. I really recommend listening to that version as well. (Just for your personal entertainment)
This is definitely my Favourite Nightwish song, ... every time I hear it ... - Just a point about your comment around "... the end of the Pandemic" - It is NOT over yet. The Care Home where my 95 year old Father lives has just gone into lockdown again due to more than 4 new cases of Covid. Every day I still take all the precautions, cleanse my hands, wear a mask in public. Not for me, for my family :)
Lovely emotional reaction Christi...I think you speak for us all...I'm sure she'll kick the big 'C's' arse...🤘❤
This song was already written in 1998 and sent by Tarja (also beautiful but completely different from Floor's version). Anette has also sung this, but in my opinion without any connection with the song (poppy).
But everything Floor sings brings about so much feeling, just magical, she is the best vocalist for Nighwish.🎶🎶🤟🏻🤟🏻
Well, she was great in Ghost Love Score and her overall performance is great. But. This song is best with Tarja. Sorry.
@@eerohorila1109 That is your opinion. My opinion is that this version Floor is the best version. Sorry.
Floor is always gorgeous, almost as gorgeous as you are.
Home crowd,Floor's parents in audience.
Sleeping Sun was launched on 11th of August 1999, the same day with the solar eclipse which occurred in part of Europe and Asia that year.
Now if you take the exact verses which contain "222" you have:
222 days of light will be desired by the night.
coincidence or not, there are exactly 222 days starting 1st of January till August 10th inclusive. - valid for non-leap years.
NWSU 🤘😎🤘
Her parents were there. Her father told her "do what you want to do in life". And she has...
great analysis ~ ¿ ~

🙏
praying for Floor
Singers sing what they can
Floor sing what she want ❤
The song was written for tarja which makes it even perfect that she makes someone else’s song sound that good.
Floor was indeed unknown in The Netherlands, but Duch Television was present at this show! You can see it: ua-cam.com/video/B3NIfu0qvtg/v-deo.html
Well, not written with Floor in mind as the singer of course. This was written for Tarja.
However, it is a good thing that Floor reinterpreted it, because she has so much more ability to tell a story and her emotional range is so much greater. With Tarja it was a fine song, undermined by poor accent (not Tarja's fault, I can't speak Finnish, let alone sing it...) ; by a pretty poor emotional range due to much less variety in her voice; and by lack of control over her vibrato.
Don't get me wrong - Nightwish songs were always brilliantly written and competently performed - but my ear could only take 30 mins or so of Tarja at a time before I needed something else for some variety.
With Floor I don't need that. I can happily listen to a couple of hours.
Of course, live in concert with the atmosphere going, I could listen to an hour of concert quite easily with any of the singers - lots of distractions!
You look so like Kylie Minogue. My god. Gorgeous!
8:30 - 10:40 👏
Best Wishes to Floor she adds too much the "Humanities Music" to be Lost. This is a Great Performance of this epic styled Song, Tarja recorded two versions of this Song in the early 2000s, now Floor adds Her Take to the Composition and Makes it Her Own.
Hi everyone!

If of interest for you and your Community: There is a 'Floor Jansen Story" after her 'evening' in the German TV-show "Sing meinen song'", equal to the dutch Show "Beste Zangers": ua-cam.com/video/K7J95LkC7-c/v-deo.html
Hello Coach Thanks for the reaction ;) New subscriber,
I hope you don't mind if l ask you to react to a Filipino girl group sings ‘BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER’ (SO HYANG VERSION) by 4TH IMPACT Sincere thanks.

Welcome @QUIET ! Thanks for subscribing AND for this request. I've made a note of it. ❤
@@TheVoiceLoveCo Wow!! thank you very much coach🙂
Your Breakdown & Comments of Floor's Performance Was Spot On & Insiteful ! Nightwish Is Brilliant ! Floor Is My Favourite Symphonic Metal Singer Of All Time ! I'd Even Say She is My First Choice Female Singer Period ! You Won't Ever See Her At Any American Awards Shows Going Up Against Taylor Swift or Beyonce ! Flood Jansen & Nightwish Would Smash Any of Them Signers In That Part of The World , You Won't Here Nightwish On The Radio In USA Either 😣👎 Nightwish is to Big & Epic For Their Radio , Can You Imagine Nightwish Being The Opening Act to Open The Grammy Or Billboard Awards Night With Greatest Show On Earth ? Taylor Swift & Beyonce/ JZ/ Cardi B Wouldn't Know What Hit Then & Would Probably Feel Slightly Embarrassed Stepping Up to Collect Their 2 or 4 Awards For Their 3min Little Pop Songs That Repeats Repeats & NOT Even Half Epic ! Am i Being Harsh ? Or Truthful ? With Respect 😘 Steve From Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 🏄♂️😊
You must react to Tommy Johansson The leadguitarist in Sabaton and singersongwriter in Majestica He have his own youtubechannel with a lot of amacing cowers He is also the guy behind the music of a lot of Floors cowers He is an multiinstrumentalist and play all the instrument himself His voice is amacing Maybe you shold start with The power of love Celine Dion cower
No it's not a joke His range is cracy
Listen to the original, if you can. Hope Floor gets better.
🤩👌💥💯
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
It will be a lumpectomy, lobectomy are usually organs like the lungs. Soz it was my job got years oncology. Very good reaction though you know your stuff there and I'm just an amateur who appreciates good music😁
🤘🇫🇮👍
You need to listen to Dan Vasc, he does cover songs of nightwish and other artists
😊🇫🇮❤️🎼✨💙🤘
If you get a chance, check out the version from Antwerp, the first live concert after the surgery: ua-cam.com/video/GZrSZeBpDKU/v-deo.html. Floor gets so emotional she breaks down at the end. She really feels what she's singing.
Please listen to mood video revelation by Diana Ankudinova 19y.o.
Floor Jansen is just too awesome for words(but I'll try). She is a consummate vocal artist, even to the point of asking Tuomas if she can change some words and phrases in his songs and he almost always says yes after she sings the changes for him in practice.
Tuomas has said if he loses Floor he will retire from Nightwish and we all know what that will mean. 😭😭😭
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘
