This whole show is fantastic. So far on this show Floor has sang in German, Dutch Spanish and English and in a different style every week. Even us Nightwish fans have been blown away by her incredible talent 😍🤘
It's not a huge surprise for Nightwish fans who accompany Tarja's career. Symphonic metal is filled with such talented singers, and these women deserve so much recognition and sadly don't get it because the music style is not mainstream...
I wouldn't go that far. I'm Dutch and I've been listening to Floor's music for over 15 years. She's in band that sells a lot of records, but she's not the best paid Dutch artist.
Floor can sing anything she wants to sing. She is more then just Nightwish, she is perfection for your ears. If angels came to earth, they would sound like her. We really are not worthy of her.
Nightwish was never interesting for me before Floor joined. I liked her work with her band ReVamp and was a bit bummed as it she joined NW. But now I enjoy NW so what the hell. :D
I heard that she is not well known in the Netherlands and this really confused me for a long time because she is like crazy famous all around the world, well at least among metalheads......
@@randywhite1724 Besides being the most talented Non-Diva alive she is nothing but class. You wonder why everyone loves Floor here you have it, to thank her fans and those who are becoming fans she takes time out to thank them even though she is busy as always. The Valkyrie Goddess never ever forgets her fans and always show appreciation for them!!!
You're right, usually peoples who did 'Shallow' covers only focusing on the high notes but forget to deliver the emotion of the song. Floor Jansen really did very well on this, her expression, her body language, her interpretation to the song really well, and she's sing it with her own style.
moi meme There’s a phone recording out there of her singing a karaoke version of a song from Disney’s Pocahontas in, I believe, Thailand? Audio is what you’d expect, but she still sounds good.
I once met her for a singing lesson, waaaaaay back, and she’s amazing in every way. 🙏 good to see people are noticing her talent outside the “metal” world.
This was Floor's 5th song on this Dutch TV show where each week one of the 7 professional singers is put on the sofa with the emcee and the other 6 sing a song they have done or is important to them. This is not a competition, but Floor has done a Operatic aria in German, a Folk/Pop song in Dutch, a Salsa song in Spanish and a Country/Blues song in English besides this offering. That is 4 different genres in 4 different languages and each is short 4 mins but just awesome. She has really stunned the Dutch TV audience and the other singers with her vocals skills! You would really enjoy the show as the other singers are excellent as you might imagine all being professionals. Her most die-heart fans are as stunned and awestruck as everyone else with her performances on this program.
Floor is being exposed to a whole new audience who I’m sure are wow’d by her talent, versatility and overall awesomeness. Thanks Rebecca for the reaction....We’re blessed to have her with Nightwish 🤘
Floor hit number one on the I tune chart in the Netherlands this morning. She just posted it on her You Tube channel. It has 195,000 views on You Tube in 22 hours.
About the ”loving quality” i noticed this term back when i had singing classes in university, the teacher commented that my voice had a ”loving and warm quality” because my low tones sounded ”like a mother”. I think Floor definitely has that (a 1000000000000000 times better obviously). When she sings so calm and slow her voice reminds one of how a mother would sing for a child. Some people seem to be have cold low voice, which works great for grave and serious songs, but floor’s so warm and gentle, which works great for emotional personal songs (and jazz!) Just my opinion, i could be terribly wrong :)
Rebecca's #Floorgasm to Phantom of the Opera was classic. LOL!!!! Love that you are watching vids of my favorite female vocalist of all time. Ms Floor Jansen!!!!
The power of this performance is in that Floor does the exact opposite of what everyone expects her to do and still kills it. That makes it twice as powerful. The movie is a year old now and thanks to radio, media and millions of not so inspirational covers Shallow has unfortunately reached the "overplayed" danger zone for many people. So by doing this her way, no band, not even a guitar, Floor actually gets away with covering this song this late to the party. She is beyond amazing, one of my favorite singers alive.
Hmn Gaga’s version is still better, it’s her song and she owns it with the way she sings it Floor’s version is great but it’s not unique it’s just another emotional ballad by a soprano singer
I'm really impressed with the development of her voice. When she recorded the Endless forms most beautifull album with Nightwish, people said that Toumas "wasted her potential" on that album not really using her booming voice to It's full extent. However Floor herself felt the album was a different kind of challenge, since she haven't been singing delicately since back in her school days. Now we see the result of all that effort she put in and Ot's really beautifull, I can't wait for the new album.
Its so soft and tender its feels it really take you with her into her story. I dont know how to descripe it but it is, like you can let go of everything and be embraced with the warmed in her voice going into a deep slumber...
Floor took a song I don't really like and turned it into something I'd buy. Number one on Dutch ITunes, I hope I can get it here in Oz. Oh, and great reaction as always, Rebecca 😀
Thank you Rebecca, for a lovely, sharp and precise reaction - and of course you are right by less is more. We all know the power and dynamics Floor can do, but as your pro-ears catches, the way she is holding back and using air in her voice as a way to hit our hearts (as always!!). It was super that you put Floor's tecnics on - that's making me better understand what it going on. And you sometimes demonstrates - you can also use your voice and tecnics. Thank you Rebecca 👍🙏👌
Floor Jansen never failed me becomes emotional with her performance, her voice already had emotion in it, let alone the emotional song itself that she sung.
Thank's Coach! Oh Fudge! Two of my Favorite Woman, in same Video! ❤. I really dont have any words how to put this! It is so emotional. Floor is killing every song and style She does! Make's my eyes wet every time! Rebecca You are such a Sweetheart, when doing this reaction so fast! Means a lot! 💝
She makes you feel everything doesn't she.. like a best friend that has a story to tell, a journey that you aren't allowed to hide from, and a welcoming, compassionate shoulder to lean on and hand to hold.
Didn’t even get to three minutes thirty without a lump in my throat and actual tears. Tender and real in the sweetest ways possible. Goes straight to the heart. 😪
This song was never able to reach me, it never moved me. Always found it kinda meh. When I heard her version I literally started crying. No wonder she’s been my favourite Singer for about 8 years now lol
I love this version SO much precisely because it’s so understated, it shows she really can do ANYTHING she wants with her voice, her wheelhouse is huge mind blowing belts, but she can also use soft warm almost whispery tones to perfection too, still full and warm and resonant, switching from chest to head voice effortlessly, to me it was a perfect performance, just flawless
I really like what you said about how just because you can do something, doesn't mean you have to do it all the time. I'm tired of people going: oh, she can growl, why didn't she growl!, or oh, she can hit a G-something, why didn't she do it? One of my favorite things about Floor is that she keeps surprising me, I never know exactly what to expect from her, and she always nails it! Thank you so much Rebecca, you're a joy to watch! (Psst, please do another of those ASMR comment videos)
It's people like Floor that make me feel so fortunate to be alive today. While there is a lot of darkness in humanity and on the internet, there is, equally, so much beauty and goodness in people. I'm glad that we have the internet to be able to connect with each other and with this kind of beauty and goodness. Thanks for the reaction video! Love watching your reactions.
Then there is Floor............ I can't think of anything else to say about her. That was a very good breakdown of how she sang this song. That statement you made about you can always do more but just because you can doesn't make it better. Tuomas the composer and key board player for Nightwish says the exact same thing. Great minds think alike............... :-)
True, it is also very smart in the way that when you start out small you can then go big without putting your voice under too much strain. And I think that Floor would completely overshadow the sound of the piano, if she started to belt it out.
I think, by now, it’s established that Floor is nature’s mic drop moment in making a singer. One day some force of nature woke up in a very good mood and went “How ‘bout I make a Valkyrie Amazon Metal Vocal Goddess of a woman, not sparing anything? Yeah, let’s do that!”
Just now Floor posted a video on her ig that this song hits Number #1 in Netherlands iTunes chart... Congratulations to her...I mean she ought to be there!!!
Didn't know her, but she had me at the first line...She had me even more at the humming...I actually clapped after the vid. What is that show, is it called Beste Zangers? It'd be interesting to do future reactions.
I had never heard of floor before. Thank you for introducing her to me. Great cover and great reaction. And I must say you are definitely on point, Rebecca. YOU are what dreams are made of!
Sorry Rebecca I was in a fit of pique when I wrote that and I have deleted the post. I respect you even more now for recognizing Floor Jansen as one of the greatest voices on this planet, and for your beautiful in-depth analysis of why she is so great and I will tell as many of her fans as I can to come here for your analysis of Floor.
Haven't seen you for a while, but we've come back for more of your videos! This version of Shallow makes this man's eyes leek like crazy! Floor is incredible! Hello from sunny Wales 🙂 joking... Wales is wetter than an otters pocket! Anyway, back to Floor...... Goddess! ❤️
Floor is the only reason I got into Nightwish. She is IMO the best singer in the world because of her versatility. This just confirms it even more. PS...you are a joy to watch and so incredibly beautiful.
Floorgasm!!!! Caught a snippet of this on Floors insta yesterday and was hoping you’d catch it too. I adore the fact that she didn’t belt it out, suited the song better I feel. Plus I think her belt would have been too much for such an intimate setting. I love the run on the word “shallow” at 3.55.
I figured something out about what draws me here while watching this latest Floor reaction. I watch your channel to be introduced to artists I may not know of and to hear renditions of songs I may not have heard. When I watch your videos I experience music I would never hear otherwise fairly often. This very rendition of this song is an excellent example. But... The biggest draw for me is to see your emotional/physical reaction to the voices of the artists. Watching you react to these people and songs is a genuine pleasure and it reminds me how much power the human voice can hold. Thank you for putting yourself out there for us all to enjoy. And of course, the Spongebob references are most appreciated.
As other people have said you need to react to Floor doing "About love I don't know a thing" from the same show. Guaranteed to make you cry. I did. And I've never cried over a song before in my life.
1:04 Is where it hits you to the core but you slowly pull yourself together and are back to the great analysis you provide. I'm here for both. Its just, you are obviously much more than a vocal coach
Denise Hofs did an English Translation of this episode already! In it, Floor did in fact mention that keeping it small was difficult for her. She has never sung Pop before so this was her Out-Of-Her-Comfort-Zone for the week.
Yeah, Reuben and I were doing a raspberry duet there at the end. That show will hitcha in the feels hard, especially this season. I've gone and watched pretty much all of what I can get on UA-cam. I like the way it's structured now. Every person on there this season sounds phenomenal... they're just a bunch of superemely talented, mind-blowing heart-slayers.
I'm with you. Some of Floor's fans are so blinded by her bright light, they don't see the others, nor that Floor herself is in awe with them and regards them highly. Watch the whole episode with English subs by Denise Hofs at ua-cam.com/video/EmVqLnhJ7Hw/v-deo.html. Her channel with all subbed episodes is at ua-cam.com/users/NiiiZo. Broaden your horizon and enjoy!
Thank god you did this react! I never thought I would hear Floor singing this song, and I got surprised. I love her beacuse she can explore every single way of singing - from the operatic, to the agressive, to the soft, but indenpending of what she's doing, she delivers it well.
This show is a very interesting format: there gathering several singers and every evening one sits on the "hot seat" on the couch in the middle with the host and all others have to sing a song for this singer which has a special relation to him, maybe to his life, maybe written by him. This song Floor sung to Emma, the nice blonde younger woman.
@@rva You also will not be able to resist the one she sang last week for Reuben, "About Love, I Don't Know A Thing." Bring tissues. She's gonna make you cry.
One of the reasons why I don't watch these "vocal" tv shows, that there is rarely any restraint. All the emphasis is on power and hitting the high notes. (what I call "yellers"). It is so nice to see someone who CAN overpower it, not do that. Control and taste made this performance. Oh, and I loved your hand gestures too!! They actually do help follow what you are explaining.
I absolutely cannot wait to see this!!!! I am a huge fan of Sarah Brightman as the original Christine. So far, no cover has been able to compete for me. However, I have a strong feeling that the combination of Henk and Floor stands the best chance of toppling Sarah's reign, in my eyes.
This particular song beautifully demonstrates the power that the various forms of art can have on us. It reaches deep within our core and plays our heartstrings like a virtuoso. This is especially the case, when incredibly talented singers, like Floor and Lady Gaga, as well as, yourself, Rebecca, sing the song. This song will remain a part of us for eternity.
Aww, I knew your reaction would be emotional since you loved the movie so much 😊 Floor's divine voice doesn't make it easier on the heart either.. It's hard to believe a rock singer could produce such soft and pure sounds. I too thought the setting was very intimate and I'm sure everyone could hear every little sound she made there. I would be so nervous, but she handled it like the pro she is ^^
Floor is the new rising star in the Netherlands, although around pretty long now, all get to know her because of the best singers. Everyone can see and hear what an exceptional, breathtaking singer she is. Apart from that you are the most lovely vocal coach around Rebecca. And an expert too. Compliments.
Well, just when you thought Floor couldn't possibly eclipse her previous performances, she just did--she sang Tim Akkerman's song, "Winner", indirectly to Tim's brother (Tim wrote it for his brother, who's in a wheelchair, but refuses to let his disability deter him from living to the fullest), by singing it to Tim. Goosebumps from the first phrase--the power of inspirational lyrics, sung by a masterful artist! Have a towel around your neck, to catch the tears on one end and wipe your nose with the other!
Hey Rebecca, I think you'd actually like the whole show. The people you see sitting in front of her are all really quite talented (some more than others, opinions may vary hahaha).
Hard to say what is better about this video, Floor Jansen's casual performance of perfection, or RVA's hilarious respecting and dissecting Floor Jansen's casually perfect singing. Class!
I went from "wow ok" to "okayy?🤔" to: "wow! Ok!"#2hourslater I'm glad you did take this as it was meant. She said she never does pop and was glad they suggested to do it small. #lessismore #moreorless
I was so impressed with her take on this. Not having the heavy metal surrounding her was actually a pleasure. That would have distracted me. I really really liked this. I have a deeper appreciation for her after this. Thank you. xx
Sailors tell tales of mermaids and singing sirens leading there ships to crash on the rocks with there angelic voices,,,,,, I imagine they are actually talking about floor, I don’t know what it is about her voice, it just brings a tear to the eye and the hairs on my arms stand up, Adele also has that “thing” I am so glad she is getting the recognition she deserves
She commented on the actual video from Beste Zangers that she normally doesn't perform pop songs, so this was a huge challenge for her. I think she performed it PERFECTLY though
I love your reaction once again: Listen to song..... Reaction: lots of words - Less is more - even more words......Still you're more able to articulate your reaction to this song then I could. I just tried not to cry (failure) and was silent from some time.
These guys n girls on that show are all astonishing good singers. The older guy "Henk" - an Opera-Singer, just covered Disturbed - The Sound of Silence. Check it out, der RVA. I love your enthusiasm.
You've *got* to watch her performance of "Winner" from this show. I delayed watching it (because I'd never heard of it), but it's such a good/powerful song, and even more of an emotional performance than this one.
I like how you explain the vocal techniques and the means of expression Rebecca. Far more helpful than just praise of Floor (and her phenomenal talent)
Floor slayed the dragon alright. She slowly, surely, surgically cut out its heart note by note and the dragon never felt a thing except possibly tears.
This whole show is fantastic. So far on this show Floor has sang in German, Dutch Spanish and English and in a different style every week. Even us Nightwish fans have been blown away by her incredible talent 😍🤘
It's not a huge surprise for Nightwish fans who accompany Tarja's career. Symphonic metal is filled with such talented singers, and these women deserve so much recognition and sadly don't get it because the music style is not mainstream...
before this program nobody knew Floor even that she is the best payed dutch artist nobody knew her.....now whole netherlands knows her lol
She sang in German? Which Song?😍
@@narzissamalfoy7750 ua-cam.com/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/v-deo.html
I wouldn't go that far. I'm Dutch and I've been listening to Floor's music for over 15 years. She's in band that sells a lot of records, but she's not the best paid Dutch artist.
Floors version is currently at NO.1 in the Dutch itune charts.
She has finally made it! It was a shame she was unknown for so long in her country.
THAT"S SO COOL!! I AM VERY HAPPY FOR HER!!
carpe diem serieus?
@@michelleroos5598 Yes, now she dropped to 3 I think, but the day after the show aired she went straight to No. 1.
@@carpediem5232 Floor is now 2 times in the Dutch I tunes charts finally she gets the honour she should get.
I have tears for real and I am an 54 year old machinist and U.S. Army Vet. I just heard an Angel sing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Floor can sing anything she wants to sing. She is more then just Nightwish, she is perfection for your ears. If angels came to earth, they would sound like her. We really are not worthy of her.
Nah. Angels got nothing on her. ;D
if angels came to earth they would go to Floor for voice guidance.
Nightwish was never interesting for me before Floor joined. I liked her work with her band ReVamp and was a bit bummed as it she joined NW. But now I enjoy NW so what the hell. :D
@@TimeturnerJ True, they don't even exist: D
She's a Valkyrie
In less than 24 hours this became the #1 iTunes charts in the Netherlands.
About time Dutch people got with the program .. .. meaning Floor is amazing
We already got the program. We didnt get Floor yet... Its a shame really. Im now a fan of Floor sinds the start of Beste Zangers...
I heard that she is not well known in the Netherlands and this really confused me for a long time because she is like crazy famous all around the world, well at least among metalheads......
Number One on iTunes in The Netherlands - Floor just posted! 🍾🤘😱👏
I want her and Marko to sing it at a Nightwish concert.
And deservedly so!
Here’s a link to Floor saying thank you.

PageMonster, OMG YES! I was thinking about that as I watched the episode! 😊

Lady Gaga tweeted this was the best cover of this song she’s ever heard.
wait, what? that soon?
Yep, she must have people who told her about it. Tweet came out this morning. Floor saw it and retweeted it.
Lady who???
I tried to find it but apparently it was sadly just a fan account, not really Gaga? 😔
I didn't see it, but somebody named LadyGoga did, check it.
I agree with this comment ;) :
"it should be made illegal to let floor sing without it being recorded"
I guess you want a children's lullaby/nursery rhyme album too?? I'm not sure how old her daughter is though. We might've missed that phase.
moi meme There’s a phone recording out there of her singing a karaoke version of a song from Disney’s Pocahontas in, I believe, Thailand? Audio is what you’d expect, but she still sounds good.
Apart from in the shower of course...Actually scrap that, I'd love to record Floor in the shower...Her voice I mean!
Floor Jansen's voice is proof to us wretched mortals that the divine truly exists.
I once met her for a singing lesson, waaaaaay back, and she’s amazing in every way. 🙏 good to see people are noticing her talent outside the “metal” world.
What do you remember most about what she taught you?
Matt Lathrum She is very down to earth, very good with explaining breathing techniques and she had a lot of patience with someone like me 😂👍

Been a fan of here since After Forever. Shes amazing.
Love love floor Jansen, that's all I can say really
Great singers have the power to break people's hearts wide open and make them feel more intensely.... Floor Jansen has that power.
I don't think I've heard anything as good as this. My favourite singer. Amazing.
This is my favourite version of this song.
Floor is everything!
Floor hit number one on the I tune chart in the Netherlands this morning.
She just posted it on her You Tube channel.
It has 195,000 views on You Tube in 22 hours.
So then, Floor hit the roof...

Better than the original STUDIO version, unbelievable. I knew she’s something else but WOW
Fun fact: there is no "studio version" per se. Everything for the movie and the accompanying album was recorded live in front of real audiences.
Wow, wow, wow) lighter, pls) Gaga sings her song better.
Hmn Gaga’s version is still better, it’s her song and she owns it with the way she sings it
Floor’s version is great but it’s not unique it’s just another emotional ballad by a soprano singer
One of my favourites singers and one of my best friend favourite songs, she passed away this year and this is really touching. Thanks for the reaction

This show has had so many absolutely fantastic performances. Very worth watching the full episodes with eng subtitles.
Floor took a song I don't really like and turned it into something I'd buy. Number one on Dutch ITunes, I hope I can get it here in Oz.
Oh, and great reaction as always, Rebecca 😀
The best vocal of the planet!!!!

Haven't seen you for a while, but we've come back for more of your videos! This version of Shallow makes this man's eyes leek like crazy! Floor is incredible! Hello from sunny Wales 🙂 joking... Wales is wetter than an otters pocket!
Anyway, back to Floor...... Goddess! ❤️
It is the proof that Floor can sing whatever you want her to sing, from classic opera to black metal
Floor is the only reason I got into Nightwish. She is IMO the best singer in the world because of her versatility. This just confirms it even more. PS...you are a joy to watch and so incredibly beautiful.
I did not know there is a living goddess among us, she is beautiful..
Beautiful voice and performer
Floorgasm!!!! Caught a snippet of this on Floors insta yesterday and was hoping you’d catch it too. I adore the fact that she didn’t belt it out, suited the song better I feel. Plus I think her belt would have been too much for such an intimate setting. I love the run on the word “shallow” at 3.55.
She's my nummer ONE female singer of the world. I follow Floor about 20 years . She's amazing 💖😎
I figured something out about what draws me here while watching this latest Floor reaction. I watch your channel to be introduced to artists I may not know of and to hear renditions of songs I may not have heard. When I watch your videos I experience music I would never hear otherwise fairly often. This very rendition of this song is an excellent example. But... The biggest draw for me is to see your emotional/physical reaction to the voices of the artists. Watching you react to these people and songs is a genuine pleasure and it reminds me how much power the human voice can hold. Thank you for putting yourself out there for us all to enjoy. And of course, the Spongebob references are most appreciated.
She made me cry so hard i lost my grandmother a month ago. I listened to this song with her once . she would have loved floor
A Vocal Beast..! Good definition 👏👏😍
As other people have said you need to react to Floor doing "About love I don't know a thing" from the same show. Guaranteed to make you cry. I did. And I've never cried over a song before in my life.
I'm soo glad you reacted to this one!! Don't forget the Sound of Silence cover by Henk Poort its breathtaking!!!
1:04 Is where it hits you to the core but you slowly pull yourself together and are back to the great analysis you provide. I'm here for both. Its just, you are obviously much more than a vocal coach
Denise Hofs did an English Translation of this episode already! In it, Floor did in fact mention that keeping it small was difficult for her. She has never sung Pop before so this was her Out-Of-Her-Comfort-Zone for the week.
Floor rules the world!!!
Yeah, Reuben and I were doing a raspberry duet there at the end. That show will hitcha in the feels hard, especially this season. I've gone and watched pretty much all of what I can get on UA-cam. I like the way it's structured now. Every person on there this season sounds phenomenal... they're just a bunch of superemely talented, mind-blowing heart-slayers.
I'm with you. Some of Floor's fans are so blinded by her bright light, they don't see the others, nor that Floor herself is in awe with them and regards them highly. Watch the whole episode with English subs by Denise Hofs at ua-cam.com/video/EmVqLnhJ7Hw/v-deo.html. Her channel with all subbed episodes is at ua-cam.com/users/NiiiZo. Broaden your horizon and enjoy!
Thank god you did this react! I never thought I would hear Floor singing this song, and I got surprised. I love her beacuse she can explore every single way of singing - from the operatic, to the agressive, to the soft, but indenpending of what she's doing, she delivers it well.
This show is a very interesting format: there gathering several singers and every evening one sits on the "hot seat" on the couch in the middle with the host and all others have to sing a song for this singer which has a special relation to him, maybe to his life, maybe written by him. This song Floor sung to Emma, the nice blonde younger woman.
"Music is everyones languege we all understand it" So true!
Yes, my dear, you are right:
"Music is everybody´s language"!!!! That´s the truth....... because music is a gate ....... magic!!!
I thought you wouldn't be able to resist this one....
You know me well 💜
@@rva You also will not be able to resist the one she sang last week for Reuben, "About Love, I Don't Know A Thing." Bring tissues. She's gonna make you cry.
One of the reasons why I don't watch these "vocal" tv shows, that there is rarely any restraint. All the emphasis is on power and hitting the high notes. (what I call "yellers"). It is so nice to see someone who CAN overpower it, not do that. Control and taste made this performance. Oh, and I loved your hand gestures too!! They actually do help follow what you are explaining.
At the end of the series, Floor and Henk Poort are doing The Phantom of the Opera together.
I absolutely cannot wait to see this!!!! I am a huge fan of Sarah Brightman as the original Christine. So far, no cover has been able to compete for me. However, I have a strong feeling that the combination of Henk and Floor stands the best chance of toppling Sarah's reign, in my eyes.
Yes you need to do a reaction! It's flawless.
This particular song beautifully demonstrates the power that the various forms of art can have on us. It reaches deep within our core and plays our heartstrings like a virtuoso. This is especially the case, when incredibly talented singers, like Floor and Lady Gaga, as well as, yourself, Rebecca, sing the song. This song will remain a part of us for eternity.
I swear when you sang for a bit, I fell out my chair. Floor is a vocal beast indeed, but your voice is so clear and powerful! Cool reacting, too! ^))
Thanks sweet pea
Aww, I knew your reaction would be emotional since you loved the movie so much 😊 Floor's divine voice doesn't make it easier on the heart either.. It's hard to believe a rock singer could produce such soft and pure sounds. I too thought the setting was very intimate and I'm sure everyone could hear every little sound she made there. I would be so nervous, but she handled it like the pro she is ^^
A: Gawd damn you’re always so gorgeous.
B: Floor has my eyes flooded in tears before the first note left her lips....
Floor is the new rising star in the Netherlands, although around pretty long now, all get to know her because of the best singers. Everyone can see and hear what an exceptional, breathtaking singer she is. Apart from that you are the most lovely vocal coach around Rebecca. And an expert too. Compliments.
If you don't teary eyed listening to Floor you aren't human.
Well, just when you thought Floor couldn't possibly eclipse her previous performances, she just did--she sang Tim Akkerman's song, "Winner", indirectly to Tim's brother (Tim wrote it for his brother, who's in a wheelchair, but refuses to let his disability deter him from living to the fullest), by singing it to Tim. Goosebumps from the first phrase--the power of inspirational lyrics, sung by a masterful artist! Have a towel around your neck, to catch the tears on one end and wipe your nose with the other!
Hey Rebecca, I think you'd actually like the whole show. The people you see sitting in front of her are all really quite talented (some more than others, opinions may vary hahaha).
Hard to say what is better about this video, Floor Jansen's casual performance of perfection, or RVA's hilarious respecting and dissecting Floor Jansen's casually perfect singing. Class!
I went from "wow ok" to "okayy?🤔" to: "wow! Ok!"#2hourslater
I'm glad you did take this as it was meant. She said she never does pop and was glad they suggested to do it small. #lessismore #moreorless
I was so impressed with her take on this. Not having the heavy metal surrounding her was actually a pleasure. That would have distracted me. I really really liked this. I have a deeper appreciation for her after this. Thank you. xx
💖💖
Sailors tell tales of mermaids and singing sirens leading there ships to crash on the rocks with there angelic voices,,,,,,
I imagine they are actually talking about floor,
I don’t know what it is about her voice, it just brings a tear to the eye and the hairs on my arms stand up,
Adele also has that “thing”
I am so glad she is getting the recognition she deserves
She commented on the actual video from Beste Zangers that she normally doesn't perform pop songs, so this was a huge challenge for her. I think she performed it PERFECTLY though
I. Love. This. Woman!
I love you too Rebecca!
I agree She has one of the best voices out now
I love your reaction once again: Listen to song..... Reaction: lots of words - Less is more - even more words......Still you're more able to articulate your reaction to this song then I could. I just tried not to cry (failure) and was silent from some time.
These guys n girls on that show are all astonishing good singers.
The older guy "Henk" - an Opera-Singer, just covered Disturbed - The Sound of Silence. Check it out, der RVA.
I love your enthusiasm.
if Floor had belted this,we would all be out buying new speakers.
Floor is really amazing, she's one of my favorite singers! 💜
You've *got* to watch her performance of "Winner" from this show. I delayed watching it (because I'd never heard of it), but it's such a good/powerful song, and even more of an emotional performance than this one.
I like how you explain the vocal techniques and the means of expression Rebecca. Far more helpful than just praise of Floor (and her phenomenal talent)
You HAVE to do the rest of the performances from he on this show
Wonderful
Floor slayed the dragon alright. She slowly, surely, surgically cut out its heart note by note and the dragon never felt a thing except possibly tears.
Sheer poetry! Thank you, Grumpybeard!
PLEASE react to the rest of Floor’s songs from this show!! They’re all phenomenal!
You need to do every Floor song from this show. Every one is different
