Hah, tell me about it, i have been typing "floor jansen reaction" and "nightwish reaction" and sorting by date daily for the last month or so...multiple times daily 🤪
@@onearthonelegion Its the same as saying Eliza and Alissa did do a amazing job replacing Annette and it was "so good" . Yes they did a amazing job, but it still was a terrible performance...
Only Floor could take a salsa song that was a #1 hit for Rolf (the guy she was singing to on the sofa) and turn it into a Spanish version 2.0 Floor rock/metal style. She did this for Rolf and all her Spanish speaking fans especially in South America where they are nuts about her. This actually charted on one of the charts in South America. Her diction and pronunciation was pretty good from all the Spanish speaking reactors I have seen. It is not her native language but Floor as usual did put the work in to get this right. You validate that Floor does work her a$$ off despite her talent to make sure the song is perfect. Here the studio band helped out and they loved working with her on the show as she change each and every song to that Floor 2.0 version with her special spin. Great show that is truly missed, I came for Floor but loved the studio band and all the other singers and the overall production which was fantastic. Shout out to Denise Hof and her translated in English versions of the show which gave us all a great insight in each of the singers and their back ground as they interacted with each other. Great reaction as usual so glad you decided to do these reactions.
By far the most entertaining music television show I have ever seen. I stumbled across "Beste Zangers" while searching for everything I could find that has been done by Floor. I found Floor by first finding Nightwish. Since that time I have been overwhelmed by the talent of Nightwish but honestly, even more so with the beautiful vocal versatility of Floor. As for "Beste Zangers" I can only say I wish someone would produce a show just like using American artists as it is an amazing concept!!
That's the gimmick of this show. Each week one of the contestants sits with the host and "judges" whilst the rest are tasked with performing a cover of one of that contestants songs.
@@nicodemusarchleone2735 well... The show is about them being together as a group for a few weeks and sing songs to the daily 'main guest' that each of one gets to be. The others did prepare one of the main guest's favourite songs or songs of that artist self, and sing it for them. Or in their own particular style or more out of their comfort zone (like this is sorta both).
@@ARetiredPirate Yes, but in fact it was done within one week (on Ibiza)... the weekly schedule is just for TV convenience, Saturday evening prime time. No principial change, just details...
I would HATE to have Floor sing one of my songs. After she sings her version, any other version is now inferior. She owns every single note she has ever sung. Brilliance.
The original is far from inferior. It's a totally different style and I like it very much. It has such a great Latin vibe that no matter what the weather outside is, as soon as I listen to it, the sun starts shining
I definitely meant that as a compliment to Floor, and absolutely not as a knock on any performers. She just has a unique way of making anything she sings magical. It's almost supernatural.
As a native Spanish speaker I can say that she has a better pronunciation than the 80% of no native Spanish speakers I've heard and she doesn't know the language
Elvann They get the list with songs they can choose from 5 months before and practise in the Netherlands before they meet and perform on the spanish island of Ibiza. Ofcourse duet partners have met before aswell. This is filmed/recorded in April but aired in August.
Nice to hear she did an amazing job from someone who masters the language than because she doens't speak a word Spanish…. But she is so awesome… Lots of respect that she just did that, many will be afraid and she nailed it.
@@ronkalkhoven2119 Well, I happen to know that Floor and Henk never met before they set foot on Ibiza. Not even virtually. They had five hehearsals on Ibiza, mainly to get the band to know what they wanted. So, sometimes there is not much time. They were in Ibiza for 10 days in total, of which 4 days were recording, I think.
I listened to the original version after hearing this and she changed it pretty dramatically to make it more rock. And it 100% nailed it for me, the original is a kinda slower song about lost love and she adds so much emotion to it this way.
There is nothing that this goddess can't do and do it perfect. She sang in German, Dutch, Spanish and English during the show and every performance was incredible. This song was sung to Rolf Sanchez, the guy in the middle. His version is more of a Salsa version of the song but Floor sang it so beautifully. Thank you for reacting to the songs of this incredible show.
Hey guys! Little clarification on the pronunciation/diction part because I feel I haven't fully conveyed what I was trying to the way I wanted! I was mostly trying to refer to the clarity of her diction, and general pronunciation, which are kind of two things. Her pronunciation might not be 100% perfect (as in you can recognize she isn't native), but also in her sound you hear that she's very purposeful with the vowels and consonants that she sings, they are audible and clear. Even I as a basic level speaker, I can still make up words from her singing. When singing in a different language it's really easy to loose that clarity and hear imprecise vowels, imprecise consonants and everything can tend to become mushy. You recognize singers with good technique and good work ethics when they can pull off singing in foreign languages and still sound clear. While I can't fully judge of the pronunciation part", I could still tell that the diction was extremely intentional here. Also, as a side note, thanks for the feedbacks about her pronunciation from you lovely hispanophone people! It's super cool to read your impressions as I can't judge exactly the same way that you do, and I really love learning new things and refining my understanding of diction/pronunciation/languages, I'm just reaaally passionate about the topic!
@Ariel Wainzinger And he was absolutely blown away...as for every song Floor performed in front of him each week. He definitely didn't know her before the show, and wasn't prepared to what he saw and listened to. Nobody was, actually, except Henk Poort after the first song, he understood her level immediately, I think.
It was so funny you said you don't know the artist, even tho you noticed she sang to a certain dude on the sofa.. Yes the artist was sitting in front of her.
Tsk tsk, over 2 months since the start of the show and not yet memorised the 7 names (maybe plus Jan and the Marcel Fissler band)? Even me with my bad memory for names was able before duets... :) I thus guess you have been intentionally avoiding the series to not spoil your "first listening to..." experience... that would make sense :)
You’re so right Elvann! To this day I am so excited and very surprised how Floor could perform so good! As a native spanish speaker I’m so proud for her! Absolutely love this version. The original (not regueton, we call it Salsa or latin Salsa) by Rolf Sanchez was a hit in Latinamerica.
Floor is so versatile, its almost unbelievable its her each and every time, such a great singer she is. And i love how she made this originally Reggaton song, into a 80's Spanish Rock song, it reminds me of a Spanish Hard Rock band from the 80's and 90's called "Heroes del Silencio" (too few remember them sadly, but it seems Floor remembered them, cause this REALLY has a HdS vibe to it) Her diction is perfect, you can hear every word she sings, be it loud or silent, she pronounces each word crystal clear. Ty for yet another lovely reaction Elvann, i'll see you in the next one :) (PS... where's the cup of tea/coffee!! the video seems a bit empty without it hehehe ;) )
I might be telling you something you already know, but in this dutch show they take turns singing for the artist in the center couch. In this case Rolf Sanchez who is the original preformer of this song. An amazing show and it is sad that it's over. It is immortalized on the net however. =) Thank you for the fun and informative reactions, keep it up!
btw, if i can suggest another reaction vid from 'beste zangers' you might pick a song from the 2017 season, singer Maan with Nessun Dorma. An amazing performance from a very young non opera singer. ua-cam.com/video/xM44CALD1JI/v-deo.html
@@Rentta if you log into dailymotion.com you can watch them and for me being non dutch speaking it had english translation. I love rock and metal and other genres but this show I really enjoyed even if I didnt understand the lyrics. Seeing the reactions to the songs is proceless. Floor being on it helped of course however the others were good too.
Nightwish and Floor have a huge following in Latin America. From what I've seen, it all about exploded in joy when they found out she was singing in Spanish for them as much as for Rolf. Many have said and I agree - we need more of this in our lives...Floor singing in Spanish. Such passion!!!!!
The beauty of this show is that in every season it brings singers together from their own different singing world. They inspire each other to try new things and then the magic happens.
I am portuguese, and the prenounciation is great. She is beyound singing, she is a performer. She turned a simple latino song to an epic one. And you are always on point. See you in Reacticide
I'm not a spanish speaking person, I know a few things I picked up here and there, when I used to live in San Diego South California. But one thing I know for sure in Spanish is "Te amo Floor !!! Te amo mucho !!!"❤❤❤ She doesn't sing to him (Rolf Sanchez), she sings his song her way (the original is a successful Salsa rhythm song), to honer him. Every week one of the singers was taking a sit on the couch as a Honored guest and the other singers were singing in their own styles, either a song of his/hers or cover another song that has an emotional meaning for him/her !!
On the show (beste zangers) Emma performs a song written by Floor, strong. Both having mothers who went trough a big disease which they tried to hide for their daugthers. You should react or at least watch that one.
She's very obviously not a native speaker (there are even a few words that I don't understand), but it's also very obvious that she put a lot of effort into getting the pronunciation right and, like you said, that is very much appreciated. Also, yes, she's singing to Rolf because this song is his (he's half Dutch, half Dominican). PS. I'm from Spain ;)
Wow, just wow! Yes you make sense. Every song she sang in this show she did brilliantly. Loved your reaction a face of bliss at times while listening, lovely!
I'm not a huge fan of Spanish/latin music but I'm really digging her spin on this song. I've listened to it far to many times already. One of the best performances she did during this show.
This one was the most challenging job that Floor did in Beste Zangers imo. Rearranged a groovy salsa song into a rock/metal style that sounds very different from the original, and also it was the first time for her to sing in Spanish where she said she need to study it first just for this performance.
She's singing it phonetically. She doesn't know Spanish, but it's obvious she's got a gift for it. She said this was an experiment to see if she could possibly sing some songs to her latin NW fans. It was Rolf's song, so yeah. She was directing it toward him and he loved her interpretation of it.
I can say that she really did excellent job with the song and her performance, even she wore a colorful dress and flowers, it looks like something that we've never seen it again 😁
You absolutely make sense. She obviously doesn't sound native, but you can clearly understand every word of it. So kudos to her for having achieved such a good pronounciation in a short time without actually knowing the language! I also love how she transformed a salsa song into this darker one!
Her pronunciation almost perfect its amazing! As a spanish speaker she makes justice I just love her And i know what what u mean about singers taking the effort to pronounce the words correctly. Thanks for another video
You are making a lot of sense. I see other people have given you the background of the song and who Rolf is and why he was so excited. That is the part of the show that makes it so good. "Winner" is still my favorite but this one is next. I get the chills every time.......... :-) Thank you. If you want to see Floor with another band. Evergrey "In Orbit" featuring Floor Jansen is a good one........
Love the way she looks with the dress and her hair with the flower in it. Her muscular physique and tattoos really add to her persona of metal singer also. Can't get enough of her
Oh yeahe, I didn't comment on her style but omg, she was gorgeous, it was so on point! That sort of latin-inspired style looks so amazing on her!!!! It's incredible!
Love your reaction to this. 😄👍🏼 I Can tell you adore Floor and have so much respect for her - she makes you smile so much when you watch her perform. Yes she’s singing to Rolf who is grinning like the Cheshire Cat. It’s her take on his song. How lucky are they to have a personalised performance in such an intimate setting?!!! I’ve watched all of her performances now on Beste Zangers and it makes me giggle each time I see their faces as she sings. They are in awe! Totally mesmerised! Especially Henk and then there’s Samatha (the one who always has goosebumps and points it out) 😂😂 The more I watch Floor perform I just think there isn’t much that you can say when you watch her..... she leaves me speechless most of the time, even though I know what to expect. Thinking on it, sometimes I suppose you don’t need to say anything. She is there to just be enjoyed! She can soothe your soul with that voice of hers. It makes me wonder what’s going through the other artists heads when she’s finished her song... I wouldnt want to sing after her that’s for sure! She did really well in this show I think. She herself said it was a challenge to sing in such a small setting and actually prefers the arenas. You have to admire how she has tried to do something different each week and not just stick to what she knows. You are right with her pronunciation when she sings.... you do hear everything crystal clear. She is in control and the pace of her wording and owns every song she sings, regardless of the language. I love how humble she is too. She’s so endearing. She could be singing in a made up language for all I care.... I could listen to her for hours. Thanks for the Reaction! 😄
Puedo decir que pronuncia bastante bien la canción, aunque probablemente no entienda nada de lo que está cantando, agradezco mucho el esfuerzo. I hope your channel keeps growing because you deserve it :)
I’m brazilian, portuguese speaker, but quite familiar with spanish, and although with some accent, it’s almost flawless, speacially in the chorus!!! Nice one!!!
Hey, again, I really like your reactions! You're doing a good job finding and analyzing things, without getting too theoretical and without losing the joy and enthusiasm. Great job!
Totally amazing, I’m a native spanish speaking person and she sounds great a little accent but it’s amazing nobody in the right mind would criticize her. She has been blessed with an amazing gift for music, and she can just sing whatever she wants in whatever style she desires
I totally agree with you... it doesn't matter in which language Floor sings, you can (almost) hear her pronounce every word and that makes it so much easier to understannd and follow the song lyrics. When she sang the Dutch song Mama I also was totally amazed how easy it was to follow the lyrics. In opposite of many other artists that I have no clue what they are singing unless I see the lyrics.
The song was one from the man with the big smile on his face. Rolf Sanchez. That is why he was so amazed. It was originally a salsa song. Floor made it her own again! Great video beautiful lady Elvann!
I told a colleague at work (he comes from Nicaragua) about Floor Jansen and Nightwish, as we talked about our favourite music. He took his IPhone and searched for some examples. The first one he clicked was Que se siente - it was right at the time this one came out the weekend before - and his first reaction: "Oh! They're a spanish band?" "No. Finland. And she's dutch, and she actually doesn't speak spanish at all." His face was priceless :-)
The guy with the white short, sitting next to the presentation, is the original salsa singer, and had a number one hit for 8 weeks with it, it's about his break up. He loved Floor her version!
She did in most of the performances the song of the person at the couch. So you have a few more to go. I love it, I like your reactions on this show 👍👍👍🎶🎵
I remember watching this being reacted to by a Spanish reactor and i had the auto translator turned on as i don't speak Spanish. The translator was translating her more accurately then the commentator.
Not commenting on the reactor you mentioned, but your comment reminded me of that scene in "Tombstone" where Johnny Ringo insulted a Mexican native by saying that his Spanish is worse than his English. That's entirely rude to say to someone but I thought it was funny and fitting for the character.
Well, here you have another native spanish speaker, latin american spanish in this case. I can understand you perfectly well and you're right. It's obvious that Floor is a great professional, only for that we can admire her. I can imagine how seriously she took this. She said it in the show, this song was dedicated to Rolf Sanchez, the author, but also to the latin american fans of her and Nightwish, so she tried to do it the best she could. Of course she has an accent, but that's inevitable. After listening to her speaking and singing in dutch you can imagine that it must be very difficult to avoid pronnouncicng the "R" rolling it and making it sound so hard. Except for some words that I can't understand so good she sings it very good and the parts where there is that funny pronnunciation... it's just CUTE !!
The whole show is really fun, Denise Hofs from the Discord made english subtitles for the whole season. I recommend you the whole episodes, really fun to know why they pick that song for this artist etc... +1 on your reaction like always! Thumbs up from Quebec Canada. - The Cleric of Floor level 5 ;)
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she sings in four different languages during this show, which is super impressive to me. Also, my first thought when I saw this performance was wow, look at her in that dress and her hair up like that. She looks amazing. Of course to be honest, I always think she looks amazing.
@@ElvannReacts If you want to hear Floor sing in Finnish, there's two songs at least, one is live video: Raskasta Joulua - Oi Jouluyö - Floor Jansen. I have to say that it's very hard to hear the Finnish words with Floor's dictation when she sings high, but when she sings lower it's pretty easy. But she has a distinct accent. The other song (not live video, it's a duo with Tony Kakko) "Oi Joulunajan Ihmiset." There could be more of course!
Qué Se Siente is originally a Reggaeton (salsa) song by Rolf Sanchez ua-cam.com/video/jUyAiJo6qNE/v-deo.html live version. ua-cam.com/video/0nA2dtSDCzc/v-deo.html cd version
MPE Desconozco el porqué escribes entre paréntesis “salsa”, de hecho el género de música de esta canción es precisamente Salsa y no Reggaetón, no confundas, la Salsa es un género musical muy rico (claro, en comparación con el Reggaetón). El Reggaetón es muy básico y repetitivo, demasiado pobre musicalmente hablando.
Salsa and Reggaetón are two very different styles of latino music. That's like saying a song "is jazz(country)" just because both are music from the USA. Just saying.
Daniel Camacho debes entender que ahora todo les suena a regueton, pero es salsa pura y dura, sino no puedes convertirla a balada/rock. Eso es lo más bonito de la salsa, puedes tomar una balada y pum! Es salsa... pero está reconversión está muy bien hecha
Safe to say that we have all fallen in love with Floor. All you need is to hear her sing, or watch her perform, and it's all over baby. She is just a special, special person.
The other songs from this Rolf episode of Beste Zangers that I loved were Emma Heesters' version of El Universo and also Henk's performance of Noelia, which will destroy you just like it did Rolf. Floor admitted this was one of her first times ever singing publicly in Spanish, but she wanted to do it for her Nightwish fans in Latin and South America and of course also to honor Rolf who sings in Dutch, English, and Spanish on various episodes of the show.
Though it is an immensely difficult race, this was my absolute favorite of hers with the show. It was so completely different from anything I'd seen from her, even her clothing, and I listened to the original to get a comparison for the changes they made. Plus Rolf was completely blown away, and goes nuts at every subsequent performance of hers. She had been winning over everyone, one by one.
elvann,yes she was singing to him,he is spanish,he live in holland to ,but he have a lot of succes in south amerika,in this tv program all the singers ,sing evry week special for one of them
Lovely reaction as always. I love this song. Actually I love pretty much everything from this show. No really bitterness when someone loves his or hers song being delivered as well as a cover of such could. Really talented people and you keep up with your good work. :)
Nice and lovely reaction. I was had the same expression with yours at the beggining when the first time I saw this. Her looks and her performance was really surprissed me. But yes Floor always nailed whatever that she sung.
Je trouve que le travail qui a été fait sur cette reprise est incroyable du côté de Floor et de l'équipe. Je ne sais pas si tu as écouté l'originale mais lorsque qu on écoute les deux versions, on entend les similitudes que ce soit dans l'instrumental et dans la partie vocal (désolé si je n'utilise pas les bons termes), mais en même temps on peut remarquer que Floor c'est totalement approprié la chanson ce qui la rend différente de l'original et c'est impressionnant je trouve. En plus elle chante dans une langue avec laquelle elle n'est pas familière, et s'en sort très bien ! (ce que je dis peut paraître flou désolé, mais je ne vois pas trop comment l'expliquer autrement 😂) Très bonne vidéo ! 👍
Hi, i am an addict and proud of it ! I must say that your reactions are somewhat of a double fix for me. Floor is always a great pleasure to watch but so are you. As you seem to be so truthful in your reactions, these are the nicest reaction video’s yet. Well that is to me then.
Guy is Rolf Sanchez and he said that this was his break out hit, one that truly launched his career and made him big star. At the start of the show he didn't believe that any of his songs can be rocked-up and still sound good. He admitted after her performance that she blew his mind. He doesn't know that rocking-up this kind of songs is something that rock and metal bends in not so western Europe do quite often just for the fun of it.
"Why did we not hear that before...". Oh so correct, and so insightful. Commenters below will tel you who wrote it and performed it. I understand it was originally a salsa tempo? So much to learn. Let's see if it has an effect on Rolf, who I think is great (now, that I have bought a freaking clue). So much good music, so much unknown. Floor has added to my life experience, and made it richer. Thank you Elvann, good reaction/review.
Her pronuntiation is pretty lit, little mistakes, but it's understandable. So glad to se the effort of her performance and the passion she gave us. Big hugs from Santiago, Chile!
Floor could sing a phone guide in any language and it would sound beautifully, I read somewhere that she chose to sing it in Spanish instead of translating it to English or Dutch, as a Latin fan, I adore her for it even more than I already did. Rolph Sanchez, the guy with the huge smile wrote it, the inspiration was his breakup
Nice one. My appreciation to Floor with this song was very high, because she said to perform this song was the most difficult and challenging that she ever did before.
The format of the song gives each of the singers a week to practice a song with the band based on the featured singer that week. Each of the songs has to be split up over that week for the band to get practice with everyone, and all of Floors songs are usually heavily modified for a more rock track. Even if they weren't the modified, they still had to perfect some pretty hard songs to play like when she did the Phantom. I give big ups to this band and any band that has to go through that much work in such a short time. :)
Of course they're all very good singers no doubt about that, but what a constant good playing band and beautifull arrangements in every style. I'm happy I can see them in January with Floor and Henk
Qué Se Siente is originally a Reggaeton (salsa) song by Rolf Sanchez.. he wrote it and sings it .. it's the guy on the couch .. floor sings his song for him. it is about the time that his girlfriend leaves him .. he also tells that his producer says he should write a letter to his ex .. not to send to her but to bring to him .. there is this song from emerged.
Jose Luis Rodriguez's "que se siente" is a complete different song. This is Rolf Sanchez's and is in salsa style originally. And, as a spanish speaker, i must say that Floor's pronunciation is almost perfect, taking in consideration her native language, that is far far away form spanish. Some words are understandable "per se", but you are able to comprehend the complete sentence anyway. Great reaction by the way!!!
Not a Native Spanish speaker, (have lived in Mexico fro almost 7 yrs now and came from California which is strongly Spanish influenced), but really the only thing I heard "wrong" was when she hit the various "H" sounds in her performance. Instead of "Ahora" coming out "ah-oh-rah" (the correct way in Spanish) she enunciated as "a-HOR-ah" with a hard H. A relatively minor mistake which didn't remotely detract from me, you, Rolf or anyone else enjoying the performance. Perhaps a native speaker would find more, but that was about it from me. Love this rendition.
"I feel like she's singing to him" She was singing a song he had done on one of his albums, to him, in her own style. And she killed it. He was over the moon about it.
I think u need to hear the original version by Rolf Sanhez. Floor changed the whole song to a rock latin song. U will find out how good her performance was with her own interpretation
I'm a native speaker. 50% of the time her pronunciation is on point. 40% you can tell she's from a Germanic language background, 10% sound off. Moreover, you can understand 100% what she says. But if you consider the fact that she lernt this in a few days, it's truly amazing she got it this far that quickly. What surprised me is her pronunciation of the "R" sound which is arguably the most difficult sound to say in Spanish for people that come from a Germanic/English language background as that sound does not exist there. It come from vibrating the tongue at the front of your mouth rather than getting it from the back of the mouth, almost from the throat.
Rolf Sanchez, the fellow with the huge smile being sung to had a #1 hit with this song. A much more latin style version. Floor really blew him (and everyone else) away with her version!
Hola, soy de Argentina y sinceramente la pronunciación de Floor es muy buena considerando que no tenía conocimiento previo del idioma. Obviamente algunas palabras no las pronuncia del todo bien, pero hizo un excelente trabajo!. ( Hi, I'm from Argentina and honestly, Floor's pronunciation is very good, considering that she had no prior knowledge of the language. Obviously some words are not quite right, but she did an excellent job!)
What I liked on this song is the fact that the band helped to transform from Salsa to rock-ish sound, also Floor's pronunciation (am native Spanish speaker)... Rolf Sanchez was excited from the beginning of the song(and maybe the beginning of the season)... Great video girl, I liked your comments and reaction! Note a side, I was listening to the song Over the Hills, and was thinking that you could do a great cover of it =)...
Hell yeah, great video again from you, dear Elvann! So what do you need therefore? An already very good song, turned into a mindblowing rendition by the goddess of singing, and last not least a very nice and subtile reaction by a totally amiable and sympathic young woman... what more can you ask for...:-)
No,it was written by Rolf Sanchez ....the guy she was singing too ....it is his song, he is part Dutch part Dominican and it was a huge hit in the latino countries

Great comment!
This song went to #1 on iTunes in several South American countries.
By far the most entertaining music television show I have ever seen. I stumbled across "Beste Zangers" while searching for everything I could find that has been done by Floor. I found Floor by first finding Nightwish. Since that time I have been overwhelmed by the talent of Nightwish but honestly, even more so with the beautiful vocal versatility of Floor. As for "Beste Zangers" I can only say I wish someone would produce a show just like using American artists as it is an amazing concept!!

Elvann They get the list with songs they can choose from 5 months before and practise in the Netherlands before they meet and perform on the spanish island of Ibiza. Ofcourse duet partners have met before aswell. This is filmed/recorded in April but aired in August.
Nice to hear she did an amazing job from someone who masters the language than because she doens't speak a word Spanish…. But she is so awesome… Lots of respect that she just did that, many will be afraid and she nailed it.
@@ronkalkhoven2119 Well, I happen to know that Floor and Henk never met before they set foot on Ibiza. Not even virtually. They had five hehearsals on Ibiza, mainly to get the band to know what they wanted. So, sometimes there is not much time. They were in Ibiza for 10 days in total, of which 4 days were recording, I think.
I listened to the original version after hearing this and she changed it pretty dramatically to make it more rock. And it 100% nailed it for me, the original is a kinda slower song about lost love and she adds so much emotion to it this way.
There is nothing that this goddess can't do and do it perfect. She sang in German, Dutch, Spanish and English during the show and every performance was incredible. This song was sung to Rolf Sanchez, the guy in the middle. His version is more of a Salsa version of the song but Floor sang it so beautifully. Thank you for reacting to the songs of this incredible show.
Hey, where is Finnish😀Christmas song Oi Jouluyö-Holy night!

YES, PLEASE!
Absolutely, please!❤🤗🥀
Agree with your recommendation. However, you should give her fair warning to get her tissues ready.
Hey guys! Little clarification on the pronunciation/diction part because I feel I haven't fully conveyed what I was trying to the way I wanted!
I was mostly trying to refer to the clarity of her diction, and general pronunciation, which are kind of two things. Her pronunciation might not be 100% perfect (as in you can recognize she isn't native), but also in her sound you hear that she's very purposeful with the vowels and consonants that she sings, they are audible and clear. Even I as a basic level speaker, I can still make up words from her singing. When singing in a different language it's really easy to loose that clarity and hear imprecise vowels, imprecise consonants and everything can tend to become mushy. You recognize singers with good technique and good work ethics when they can pull off singing in foreign languages and still sound clear. While I can't fully judge of the pronunciation part", I could still tell that the diction was extremely intentional here.
Also, as a side note, thanks for the feedbacks about her pronunciation from you lovely hispanophone people! It's super cool to read your impressions as I can't judge exactly the same way that you do, and I really love learning new things and refining my understanding of diction/pronunciation/languages, I'm just reaaally passionate about the topic!
@Ariel Wainzinger And he was absolutely blown away...as for every song Floor performed in front of him each week. He definitely didn't know her before the show, and wasn't prepared to what he saw and listened to. Nobody was, actually, except Henk Poort after the first song, he understood her level immediately, I think.
@@homere-d-allaure Tim knew who Floor was. But otherwise, you are right, nobody else knew who she was. MAYBE somebody in the MF Band knew... :)
@@jamescurfman3284 It was delightful to watch them discover her week after week, and be in awe. 😁
@@homere-d-allaure YES! :)
7:09 The face of a singer who knows she absolutely NAILED the performance.
Most singers sing what they can. Floor sings what she wants.
It was so funny you said you don't know the artist, even tho you noticed she sang to a certain dude on the sofa.. Yes the artist was sitting in front of her.
Yeah, that was sort of my hypothesis but I didn't know his name so I couldn't connect him! :D
@@ElvannReacts Rolf Sanchez, multiple nr.1 hits (reggaeton) in the Americas and lives half of the year in Miami.
Tsk tsk, over 2 months since the start of the show and not yet memorised the 7 names (maybe plus Jan and the Marcel Fissler band)? Even me with my bad memory for names was able before duets... :)
I thus guess you have been intentionally avoiding the series to not spoil your "first listening to..." experience... that would make sense :)
@@SYNtemp Clearly she didn't watch the show as a whole, otherwise she would't be able to react to the songs for the first time..
@@SYNtemp Too bad now she can't watch and appreciate the whole series since Avrotros deleted all of Denise's translated episodes
You’re so right Elvann! To this day I am so excited and very surprised how Floor could perform so good! As a native spanish speaker I’m so proud for her! Absolutely love this version. The original (not regueton, we call it Salsa or latin Salsa) by Rolf Sanchez was a hit in Latinamerica.
I bet you must be proud of her!!!
Floor is so versatile, its almost unbelievable its her each and every time, such a great singer she is.
And i love how she made this originally Reggaton song, into a 80's Spanish Rock song, it reminds me of a Spanish Hard Rock band from the 80's and 90's called "Heroes del Silencio" (too few remember them sadly, but it seems Floor remembered them, cause this REALLY has a HdS vibe to it)
Her diction is perfect, you can hear every word she sings, be it loud or silent, she pronounces each word crystal clear.
Ty for yet another lovely reaction Elvann, i'll see you in the next one :) (PS... where's the cup of tea/coffee!! the video seems a bit empty without it hehehe ;) )
@@alexjerichow2715 yay one of the few who remembers their greatness :D
Every performance on that show was just an amazing trip to hear Floor sing their songs
I might be telling you something you already know, but in this dutch show they take turns singing for the artist in the center couch. In this case Rolf Sanchez who is the original preformer of this song. An amazing show and it is sad that it's over. It is immortalized on the net however. =)
Thank you for the fun and informative reactions, keep it up!
Thanks to yYOU from watching it! :D It's encouraging!
@@ElvannReacts It's running for 10 years already, every year i think they can't top it....see what we got in 2019 :-) big hopes for 2020!
btw, if i can suggest another reaction vid from 'beste zangers' you might pick a song from the 2017 season, singer Maan with Nessun Dorma. An amazing performance from a very young non opera singer. ua-cam.com/video/xM44CALD1JI/v-deo.html
Too bad translated full episodes had to be taken down :(
@@Rentta if you log into dailymotion.com you can watch them and for me being non dutch speaking it had english translation. I love rock and metal and other genres but this show I really enjoyed even if I didnt understand the lyrics. Seeing the reactions to the songs is proceless. Floor being on it helped of course however the others were good too.
Nightwish and Floor have a huge following in Latin America. From what I've seen, it all about exploded in joy when they found out she was singing in Spanish for them as much as for Rolf. Many have said and I agree - we need more of this in our lives...Floor singing in Spanish. Such passion!!!!!
She actually did an amazing job! I'm from Argentina and i can say her spanish was almost perfect
Coool that's great to hear your impression about it!!! :D It seems like she worked so hard!
The beauty of this show is that in every season it brings singers together from their own different singing world. They inspire each other to try new things and then the magic happens.
This is the third episode so they're not used to hearing a metal person singing in Spanish. They're finding out what what Floor can do with her voice.
Their faces in ep 1 when she busted out opera was priceless! Lol
I personally don't listen to salsa music, but her rendition made my heavy rotation metal playlist instantly! #floorgasm
estúpida y sensual canción. jajajaja
I am portuguese, and the prenounciation is great. She is beyound singing, she is a performer. She turned a simple latino song to an epic one. And you are always on point. See you in Reacticide
I'm not a spanish speaking person, I know a few things I picked up here and there, when I used to live in San Diego South California. But one thing I know for sure in Spanish is "Te amo Floor !!! Te amo mucho !!!"❤❤❤ She doesn't sing to him (Rolf Sanchez), she sings his song her way (the original is a successful Salsa rhythm song), to honer him. Every week one of the singers was taking a sit on the couch as a Honored guest and the other singers were singing in their own styles, either a song of his/hers or cover another song that has an emotional meaning for him/her !!
On the show (beste zangers) Emma performs a song written by Floor, strong. Both having mothers who went trough a big disease which they tried to hide for their daugthers. You should react or at least watch that one.
Oh, YES and Emma NAILED it! It was BEAUTIFUL! Emma is another REAL TALENT! I hope she actually takes Ruben up on his offer! :)
She's very obviously not a native speaker (there are even a few words that I don't understand), but it's also very obvious that she put a lot of effort into getting the pronunciation right and, like you said, that is very much appreciated. Also, yes, she's singing to Rolf because this song is his (he's half Dutch, half Dominican). PS. I'm from Spain ;)
Floor has a way of connecting with each song she sings. You feel the emotion each and every time. Thank you for another great reaction
Wow, just wow! Yes you make sense. Every song she sang in this show she did brilliantly. Loved your reaction a face of bliss at times while listening, lovely!
I'm not a huge fan of Spanish/latin music but I'm really digging her spin on this song. I've listened to it far to many times already. One of the best performances she did during this show.
This one was the most challenging job that Floor did in Beste Zangers imo. Rearranged a groovy salsa song into a rock/metal style that sounds very different from the original, and also it was the first time for her to sing in Spanish where she said she need to study it first just for this performance.
Yes, she is singing to him. The concept of the show is that all the singers get to know each other and perform a song for and to the other singers.
loved the reaction tnx, the reason he was so excited is that he just had his song covered by the amazing floor right before his eyes...
She's singing it phonetically. She doesn't know Spanish, but it's obvious she's got a gift for it. She said this was an experiment to see if she could possibly sing some songs to her latin NW fans.
It was Rolf's song, so yeah. She was directing it toward him and he loved her interpretation of it.
What floor cannot do.
I'm Argentinian and her pronunciation is beautiful.
Stop please floor, you're the one, i'm in love godddd.
I can say that she really did excellent job with the song and her performance, even she wore a colorful dress and flowers, it looks like something that we've never seen it again 😁
Ella es brillante. She is so amazing. That guy sings that song and he was so very happy. Ella es simplemente adorable.
You absolutely make sense. She obviously doesn't sound native, but you can clearly understand every word of it. So kudos to her for having achieved such a good pronounciation in a short time without actually knowing the language!
I also love how she transformed a salsa song into this darker one!
Floor "I Don't Know a Thing About Love" Tribute to Reuben (Beste Zangers 2019)
Her pronunciation almost perfect its amazing! As a spanish speaker she makes justice
I just love her
And i know what what u mean about singers taking the effort to pronounce the words correctly.
Thanks for another video
You are making a lot of sense. I see other people have given you the background of the song and who Rolf is and why he was so excited. That is the part of the show that makes it so good. "Winner" is still my favorite but this one is next. I get the chills every time.......... :-) Thank you. If you want to see Floor with another band. Evergrey "In Orbit" featuring Floor Jansen is a good one........
ann spotted 1:37 am 11/2/19 :)
@@ethanhall400 :-)
Love the way she looks with the dress and her hair with the flower in it. Her muscular physique and tattoos really add to her persona of metal singer also. Can't get enough of her
Oh yeahe, I didn't comment on her style but omg, she was gorgeous, it was so on point! That sort of latin-inspired style looks so amazing on her!!!! It's incredible!
Love your reaction to this. 😄👍🏼 I Can tell you adore Floor and have so much respect for her - she makes you smile so much when you watch her perform.
Yes she’s singing to Rolf who is grinning like the Cheshire Cat. It’s her take on his song. How lucky are they to have a personalised performance in such an intimate setting?!!!
I’ve watched all of her performances now on Beste Zangers and it makes me giggle each time I see their faces as she sings. They are in awe! Totally mesmerised! Especially Henk and then there’s Samatha (the one who always has goosebumps and points it out) 😂😂
The more I watch Floor perform I just think there isn’t much that you can say when you watch her..... she leaves me speechless most of the time, even though I know what to expect. Thinking on it, sometimes I suppose you don’t need to say anything. She is there to just be enjoyed! She can soothe your soul with that voice of hers. It makes me wonder what’s going through the other artists heads when she’s finished her song... I wouldnt want to sing after her that’s for sure!
She did really well in this show I think. She herself said it was a challenge to sing in such a small setting and actually prefers the arenas. You have to admire how she has tried to do something different each week and not just stick to what she knows. You are right with her pronunciation when she sings.... you do hear everything crystal clear. She is in control and the pace of her wording and owns every song she sings, regardless of the language. I love how humble she is too. She’s so endearing. She could be singing in a made up language for all I care.... I could listen to her for hours.
Thanks for the Reaction! 😄
Puedo decir que pronuncia bastante bien la canción, aunque probablemente no entienda nada de lo que está cantando, agradezco mucho el esfuerzo. I hope your channel keeps growing because you deserve it :)
I love the little air guitar performance she does at 6:04.
I’m brazilian, portuguese speaker, but quite familiar with spanish, and although with some accent, it’s almost flawless, speacially in the chorus!!! Nice one!!!
Hey, again, I really like your reactions! You're doing a good job finding and analyzing things, without getting too theoretical and without losing the joy and enthusiasm. Great job!
Totally amazing, I’m a native spanish speaking person and she sounds great a little accent but it’s amazing nobody in the right mind would criticize her. She has been blessed with an amazing gift for music, and she can just sing whatever she wants in whatever style she desires
Im from Uruguay and her pronunciation is really good. If you listen carefully, you can hear that it has an Anglo-Saxon accent, but un goes unnoted.
I totally agree with you... it doesn't matter in which language Floor sings, you can (almost) hear her pronounce every word and that makes it so much easier to understannd and follow the song lyrics.
When she sang the Dutch song Mama I also was totally amazed how easy it was to follow the lyrics. In opposite of many other artists that I have no clue what they are singing unless I see the lyrics.
The song was one from the man with the big smile on his face. Rolf Sanchez. That is why he was so amazed. It was originally a salsa song. Floor made it her own again! Great video beautiful lady Elvann!
I told a colleague at work (he comes from Nicaragua) about Floor Jansen and Nightwish, as we talked about our favourite music. He took his IPhone and searched for some examples. The first one he clicked was Que se siente - it was right at the time this one came out the weekend before - and his first reaction: "Oh! They're a spanish band?"
"No. Finland. And she's dutch, and she actually doesn't speak spanish at all."
His face was priceless :-)
The guy with the white short, sitting next to the presentation, is the original salsa singer, and had a number one hit for 8 weeks with it, it's about his break up. He loved Floor her version!
She did in most of the performances the song of the person at the couch. So you have a few more to go. I love it, I like your reactions on this show 👍👍👍🎶🎵
I remember watching this being reacted to by a Spanish reactor and i had the auto translator turned on as i don't speak Spanish. The translator was translating her more accurately then the commentator.
omg really!? :O wow!!
Not commenting on the reactor you mentioned, but your comment reminded me of that scene in "Tombstone" where Johnny Ringo insulted a Mexican native by saying that his Spanish is worse than his English. That's entirely rude to say to someone but I thought it was funny and fitting for the character.
Well, here you have another native spanish speaker, latin american spanish in this case. I can understand you perfectly well and you're right. It's obvious that Floor is a great professional, only for that we can admire her. I can imagine how seriously she took this. She said it in the show, this song was dedicated to Rolf Sanchez, the author, but also to the latin american fans of her and Nightwish, so she tried to do it the best she could. Of course she has an accent, but that's inevitable. After listening to her speaking and singing in dutch you can imagine that it must be very difficult to avoid pronnouncicng the "R" rolling it and making it sound so hard. Except for some words that I can't understand so good she sings it very good and the parts where there is that funny pronnunciation... it's just CUTE !!
The whole show is really fun, Denise Hofs from the Discord made english subtitles for the whole season. I recommend you the whole episodes, really fun to know why they pick that song for this artist etc... +1 on your reaction like always! Thumbs up from Quebec Canada. - The Cleric of Floor level 5 ;)
Elvann you always make sense and are entertaining. Always love your reactions. As ever keep up the good work. Look forward to your next video.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she sings in four different languages during this show, which is super impressive to me. Also, my first thought when I saw this performance was wow, look at her in that dress and her hair up like that. She looks amazing. Of course to be honest, I always think she looks amazing.
From memory..Dutch, Italian, English, German, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish and Latin.
@@ChrisPage68 omg what, that's so many languages!!!! She sang in finnish on the show???
@@ElvannReacts no 'just' german, spanish, dutch and english...
@@ElvannReacts If you want to hear Floor sing in Finnish, there's two songs at least, one is live video: Raskasta Joulua - Oi Jouluyö - Floor Jansen. I have to say that it's very hard to hear the Finnish words with Floor's dictation when she sings high, but when she sings lower it's pretty easy. But she has a distinct accent. The other song (not live video, it's a duo with Tony Kakko) "Oi Joulunajan Ihmiset." There could be more of course!
@@mikoske And she also did a rendition of O Mio Babbino Caro, which I believe is actually in Italian, isn't it?
Qué Se Siente is originally a Reggaeton (salsa) song by Rolf Sanchez
ua-cam.com/video/jUyAiJo6qNE/v-deo.html live version.
ua-cam.com/video/0nA2dtSDCzc/v-deo.html cd version
To understand Rolfs reaction, you must listen to his (original) version - and then there is a blast...
MPE
Desconozco el porqué escribes entre paréntesis “salsa”, de hecho el género de música de esta canción es precisamente Salsa y no Reggaetón, no confundas, la Salsa es un género musical muy rico (claro, en comparación con el Reggaetón).
El Reggaetón es muy básico y repetitivo, demasiado pobre musicalmente hablando.
Salsa and Reggaetón are two very different styles of latino music. That's like saying a song "is jazz(country)" just because both are music from the USA. Just saying.
The original is salsa.,not reggaeton, not even close the same thing, bro or sis.
Daniel Camacho debes entender que ahora todo les suena a regueton, pero es salsa pura y dura, sino no puedes convertirla a balada/rock. Eso es lo más bonito de la salsa, puedes tomar una balada y pum! Es salsa... pero está reconversión está muy bien hecha
I love your reactions, you're adorable. 🥰
Amother great review, Elvann. You did praise Floor enough for her wonderful interpretation of this emotional Spanish song. :-)
Thank you Konrad!
You are basically watching Rolf fall in love with Floor.
And Samantha. She had a major girl-crush on her.
PageMonster Samantha is married to a girl named Daisy so maybe she had a real crush on Floor, but then again dont we all have it too 😄
@@mantailuaa we saw it live here in the netherlands and she said she fell in love with floor but she has a wife
Safe to say that we have all fallen in love with Floor. All you need is to hear her sing, or watch her perform, and it's all over baby. She is just a special, special person.
@@justinp7017 yes she is
Floor is like the one out of a billion. She is unique.
She took Rolf's salsa song and rocked it up a bit to not only include a Latin flavor but a Floor flavor as well.
The original is a salsa song by Rolf(on the couch). Floor turned it into a rock song. Rolf loved her version as you saw.
The other songs from this Rolf episode of Beste Zangers that I loved were Emma Heesters' version of El Universo and also Henk's performance of Noelia, which will destroy you just like it did Rolf. Floor admitted this was one of her first times ever singing publicly in Spanish, but she wanted to do it for her Nightwish fans in Latin and South America and of course also to honor Rolf who sings in Dutch, English, and Spanish on various episodes of the show.
Beste Zinger is proof that Floor can sing any style well. I am also not a native Spanish Speaker, but I know how it should sound and this is amazing.
I need a cold shower after that. Floor can make any language raunchy! 😱
🚿❄
Though it is an immensely difficult race, this was my absolute favorite of hers with the show. It was so completely different from anything I'd seen from her, even her clothing, and I listened to the original to get a comparison for the changes they made. Plus Rolf was completely blown away, and goes nuts at every subsequent performance of hers.
She had been winning over everyone, one by one.
elvann,yes she was singing to him,he is spanish,he live in holland to ,but he have a lot of succes in south amerika,in this tv program all the singers ,sing evry week special for one of them
Lovely reaction as always. I love this song. Actually I love pretty much everything from this show. No really bitterness when someone loves his or hers song being delivered as well as a cover of such could. Really talented people and you keep up with your good work. :)
Thank youuuu super happy you enjoyed the reaction!! And those are such talented people!!!
Nice and lovely reaction. I was had the same expression with yours at the beggining when the first time I saw this. Her looks and her performance was really surprissed me. But yes Floor always nailed whatever that she sung.
And during Floor’s week, Rolf did a very cool take on “Hotel California”.
Yeah, he nailed that, too! :)
Je trouve que le travail qui a été fait sur cette reprise est incroyable du côté de Floor et de l'équipe. Je ne sais pas si tu as écouté l'originale mais lorsque qu on écoute les deux versions, on entend les similitudes que ce soit dans l'instrumental et dans la partie vocal (désolé si je n'utilise pas les bons termes), mais en même temps on peut remarquer que Floor c'est totalement approprié la chanson ce qui la rend différente de l'original et c'est impressionnant je trouve. En plus elle chante dans une langue avec laquelle elle n'est pas familière, et s'en sort très bien ! (ce que je dis peut paraître flou désolé, mais je ne vois pas trop comment l'expliquer autrement 😂)
Très bonne vidéo ! 👍
Thank you another great video!
Hi, i am an addict and proud of it !
I must say that your reactions are somewhat of a double fix for me. Floor is always a great pleasure to watch but so are you.
As you seem to be so truthful in your reactions, these are the nicest reaction video’s yet. Well that is to me then.
Guy is Rolf Sanchez and he said that this was his break out hit, one that truly launched his career and made him big star. At the start of the show he didn't believe that any of his songs can be rocked-up and still sound good. He admitted after her performance that she blew his mind. He doesn't know that rocking-up this kind of songs is something that rock and metal bends in not so western Europe do quite often just for the fun of it.
"Why did we not hear that before...". Oh so correct, and so insightful. Commenters below will tel you who wrote it and performed it. I understand it was originally a salsa tempo? So much to learn. Let's see if it has an effect on Rolf, who I think is great (now, that I have bought a freaking clue). So much good music, so much unknown. Floor has added to my life experience, and made it richer. Thank you Elvann, good reaction/review.
YESS FLOOR JANSEN from my country Holland!! She s verry good...
I Loved to see Floor in different looks in this peformance 😊
Her pronuntiation is pretty lit, little mistakes, but it's understandable. So glad to se the effort of her performance and the passion she gave us. Big hugs from Santiago, Chile!
Floor could sing a phone guide in any language and it would sound beautifully, I read somewhere that she chose to sing it in Spanish instead of translating it to English or Dutch, as a Latin fan, I adore her for it even more than I already did. Rolph Sanchez, the guy with the huge smile wrote it, the inspiration was his breakup
It's originally a simple Salsa song but she made it heavier and more straight forward. Amazing rendition.
Nice one. My appreciation to Floor with this song was very high, because she said to perform this song was the most difficult and challenging that she ever did before.
I can imagine!!! She was on such a short deadline too, to learn how to pronounce in a language she doesn't know at all!!! It's impressive!
The format of the song gives each of the singers a week to practice a song with the band based on the featured singer that week. Each of the songs has to be split up over that week for the band to get practice with everyone, and all of Floors songs are usually heavily modified for a more rock track. Even if they weren't the modified, they still had to perfect some pretty hard songs to play like when she did the Phantom. I give big ups to this band and any band that has to go through that much work in such a short time. :)
"Your a Dutch band right? What do you know of Latin Beats?"
Of course they're all very good singers no doubt about that, but what a constant good playing band and beautifull arrangements in every style.
I'm happy I can see them in January with Floor and Henk
Qué Se Siente is originally a Reggaeton (salsa) song by Rolf Sanchez..
he wrote it and sings it .. it's the guy on the couch .. floor sings his song for him. it is about the time that his girlfriend leaves him .. he also tells that his producer says he should write a letter to his ex .. not to send to her but to bring to him .. there is this song from emerged.
Jose Luis Rodriguez's "que se siente" is a complete different song. This is Rolf Sanchez's and is in salsa style originally. And, as a spanish speaker, i must say that Floor's pronunciation is almost perfect, taking in consideration her native language, that is far far away form spanish. Some words are understandable "per se", but you are able to comprehend the complete sentence anyway.
Great reaction by the way!!!
Not a Native Spanish speaker, (have lived in Mexico fro almost 7 yrs now and came from California which is strongly Spanish influenced), but really the only thing I heard "wrong" was when she hit the various "H" sounds in her performance. Instead of "Ahora" coming out "ah-oh-rah" (the correct way in Spanish) she enunciated as "a-HOR-ah" with a hard H.
A relatively minor mistake which didn't remotely detract from me, you, Rolf or anyone else enjoying the performance. Perhaps a native speaker would find more, but that was about it from me. Love this rendition.
"I feel like she's singing to him" She was singing a song he had done on one of his albums, to him, in her own style. And she killed it. He was over the moon about it.
I love watching Rolf's reactions when Floor sings. He's always beaming and looks like he's in complete awe of her every time XD
This would have been her best performance in Beste Zangers if it wasn`t for Phantom. Love it!
I think u need to hear the original version by Rolf Sanhez. Floor changed the whole song to a rock latin song. U will find out how good her performance was with her own interpretation
I should probably go and have a listen!!! :D
Floor can do no wrong...she IS SIMPLY AMAZING
I'm a native speaker. 50% of the time her pronunciation is on point. 40% you can tell she's from a Germanic language background, 10% sound off. Moreover, you can understand 100% what she says. But if you consider the fact that she lernt this in a few days, it's truly amazing she got it this far that quickly.
What surprised me is her pronunciation of the "R" sound which is arguably the most difficult sound to say in Spanish for people that come from a Germanic/English language background as that sound does not exist there. It come from vibrating the tongue at the front of your mouth rather than getting it from the back of the mouth, almost from the throat.
I'm italian and so I understand a little bit of spanish and I can say she sounds very clear :)
Rolf Sanchez, the fellow with the huge smile being sung to had a #1 hit with this song. A much more latin style version. Floor really blew him (and everyone else) away with her version!
Thanks again for reaction she is a voice to sing in Spanish and you dont speak it lots of Homework me thinks well done Floor what a singer :-)
Hola, soy de Argentina y sinceramente la pronunciación de Floor es muy buena considerando que no tenía conocimiento previo del idioma. Obviamente algunas palabras no las pronuncia del todo bien, pero hizo un excelente trabajo!. (
Hi, I'm from Argentina and honestly, Floor's pronunciation is very good, considering that she had no prior knowledge of the language. Obviously some words are not quite right, but she did an excellent job!)
What I liked on this song is the fact that the band helped to transform from Salsa to rock-ish sound, also Floor's pronunciation (am native Spanish speaker)... Rolf Sanchez was excited from the beginning of the song(and maybe the beginning of the season)... Great video girl, I liked your comments and reaction! Note a side, I was listening to the song Over the Hills, and was thinking that you could do a great cover of it =)...
omg yeah, over the hills would be soooo fun! That's one of my top karaoke picks XD
Hell yeah, great video again from you, dear Elvann! So what do you need therefore? An already very good song, turned into a mindblowing rendition by the goddess of singing, and last not least a very nice and subtile reaction by a totally amiable and sympathic young woman... what more can you ask for...:-)
Thank you!
No,it was written by Rolf Sanchez ....the guy she was singing too ....it is his song, he is part Dutch part Dominican and it was a huge hit in the latino
countries
