Thank you for your reaction video of Floor Jansen performing 'Shallow'. It was an amazing performance where she follows the song's original form ... but, she puts her own touches on it that bring it into the realm of breathtaking! Keep reacting, Michael, I am always here to watch and listen.
Love to see you diving deeper in the Floor Jansen rabbit hole!❤ There are more great performances from her on this show, to start with the first one: Vilja Lied. The other singers in this show did not know her other than she was some metal chick, so the effect of her voice and performance was amazing and very amusing! Try to use the version including intro and outro, it will give some background information... Beste Zangers is not a competition but a gathering of Dutch artists enjoying each other's music. Salutations du pays de Floor🙂
That's the 2nd attempt to leave you this comment, 1st time it disappeared. I'm happy that you liked it. I am convinced that you will enjoy yourself if you follow this route When she participated in this TV show from the Netherlands in 2019, Floor was little known in her own country, although she sang in metal bands from the age of 16 (After Forever - 1997) because in the Netherlands the metal genre is not very popular, not being broadcast in the mainstream audiovisual media. Following her successful presence in Beste Zangers, in which she performed songs from other musical genres (such as Shallow), a solo music career began to take shape. This materialized at the beginning of 2020 in a chain of 8 concerts in the Netherlands, the last of which will be professionally recorded and broadcast online, following a crowdfunding campaign that reached its goal in just a few hours. This last concert took place only at the beginning of September 2021, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic - you can find the entire filmed material on Floor's YT channel. During the lockdown period, she delighted us with several videos recorded from home, including a set of 9 covers. And now, in March 2023, Floor released her first solo album, "Paragon", which is completely outside the metal genre - you will find all the songs from the album on her YT channel, and for the first ones released as singles in advance there are also recorded videos professional. There were also special moments - in 2022, Floor was invited to sing the national anthem at the opening of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in the Netherlands, and recently she sang at the opening of the Metallica concert in Amsterdam. There is a lot to explore..
Hi thanks, and just to let you know that I'm not risponsible for what happened with your comment....sometimes youtube glitches I guess...I tried to find a comment I read once, and never found it...but thanks for posting yours again. take care.
@@michaelreactions I added the first sentence to the initial message, left on the translation page :) exactly for this reason, to confuse the YT AI. I know that sometimes their automatic filtering criteria are absurd. But I really wanted the message to reach you, to understand that Floor's musical career is evolving in this direction.
Gabriel, having comments removed by UA-cam is so very frustrating. It's happened to me both by leaving links to YT videos ... and even by just leaving the title search text. It is only to show reactors to other content - never trying to say the content is mine - why would I ? I have never left any comment that is any way controversial. At times I feel like stopping making comments.
@@gliebzeit I think YT has several categories of automatic filters. Here I think that "key" words were found, related to the "2020-2022 period", which were masked in my 2nd attempt by adding a phrase at the beginning and "breaking" the message into several paragraphs. I noticed that the name of the Nightwish fans server (I won't name it here) is a trigger. In other situations, my comments with links or too long were deleted - that's one of the reasons why I moved most of the welcome message with links to my profile.
Yes, Floor is a force of nature. It doesn't matter whether she belts out a song full of power or sings a soft, gentle song. With her voice and her ability to sing "emotions" she is already overwhelming in a recording. If you then experience her live, from a distance that is no further away than the artists were allowed to experience on the couch, then it is indescribable. Her stage presence is almost unfair to the audience, you can't escape it. I was able to attend some of her solo shows in the Germany leg of her solo tour ... the audience was mixed. Young and old, metalheads and non metalheads ... and pretty much everyone had fun. In fact, at one show I had a brief conversation with a definite metalhead who said "I'm not quite sure I'll like it, she sings mostly her "pop" stuff, but it's just Floor!" After the show his comment was "Wow, just WOW!" And in the same way, people you wouldn't expect, just by looking at them, went wild for the rocking songs! And off stage (I got to attend a meet & greet with her where you also got to talk to her alone for a few minutes), she is so incredibly nice and down to earth. She is someone with whom you don't want to party, but rather an evening at the campfire, a cozy evening in the pub, or a game night ... or clean out the stable ...
Seen this a few dozen of times and it still brings tears in my eyes... Floor is really radiating the feeling with her voice, her face and whole body... she's a natural talent that has been honed to perfection and can now tackle just about anything.
@@SYNtemp It's an absolute joy to watch her perform I'm most interested in her Nightwish career but, have enjoyed her Beste Zangers and her AFAS Amsterdam performances.🇬🇧👍
So, I see that you have been informed about what Beste Zangers, and the fact that Floor is also a writer. Every performance on the 2019 show is amazing,and Floor solo act is phenomenal. She also has her UA-cam channel with her own stuff,so is well worth exploring. I have subscribed and will be wanting for your next Floor Jansen, or Nightwish reaction. Greetings from Alabama 😎
Best Zangers means Best Singers. They are all singers in the audience, the older gentlemen there is Henk Port, he's sung with Floor before. Notably Phantom of the Opera, both on this show and even on stage with Nightwish after Markoe left the band. I love this version, she's such a beautiful singer.
This was such a great reaction! I love that you appreciated Floor's emotional storytelling here. She has the voice to turn this song into an Olympic event, if she wanted to, but that's not what she's about. She's not going to deliver the vocal acrobatics just to show off. Everything is about delivering the story. Speaking of which, while watching your analysis, I couldn't help but think about Floor's cover of Heart's "Alone." It's much the same way. It's a pretty stripped back version, with powerful vocals added where necessary for emphasis, but not gratuitous. I think you'd love it: ua-cam.com/video/1fu-yP6q6Gk/v-deo.html
So true with your reaction. Breathtaking as you say
Winner from this is also a beautifull song,the phantom of the opera (withHenk Poort)is epic
She also does the cover Euforia from Loreen.
Henk did a cover from simon and garfunkel,sound of silence😊
Thank you for your reaction video of Floor Jansen performing 'Shallow'. It was an amazing performance where she follows the song's original form ... but, she puts her own touches on it that bring it into the realm of breathtaking! Keep reacting, Michael, I am always here to watch and listen.
Yes Floor can also write and has recently released her first album Paragon with most of the songs written by her. Well worth a visit.
Loved your reaction - thoughtful and heartfelt.
Bonsoir Michael,tres bonne reaction.👍 What a nice French word you used "délicat" it describes beautifull how Floor sang this.👍🤘
This cover is a GEM. 🤗👍😎👏😉🤘

'Beste Zangers' has a double meaning in Dutch. Indeed it means 'Best Singers', but also 'Dear Singers' as in an introduction.
"Breathtaking" just about sums it up.
Seen this a few times and it always moves me.🇬🇧🤘🤘

Great reaction.
Please watch what she did to Heart's song Alone
Or my favorite Lara Fabian's Adagio
You will love them....:)

I must point out that Henk Poort and Floor Jansen met for the first time whilst filming this show.🇬🇧🤘🤘
There is the host (Jan) too ofcourse...
Lol. Bradley Cooper is the actor who sang with Lady Gaga.
Yes ! Bradley Cooper ! thanks ;)
Thank you, she is amazing! Floor Jansen - Mama | Beste Zangers 2019 / AVROTROS

Every cover that Floor does, she destroys the original artist.
