I hope this observation on how she sings helps you figure out how the voice works better, so you can learn how to make smart choices in your own voice.

It's noteworthy that Jansen is a vocal coach herself.
Nice way to say to Sam "Oh... she is definitely aware what she is (physically) doing...." ;) ;)
@@neoplan6116 yes she is, but it's like a great musician for example a guitarist or dummer or someone touch typing doesn't need to look at all, it's all just becomes automatic when she has done it regularly. But her knowledge is extremely useful when she is learning a new song.
@@autohmae That's a good point, like in sports it's very rare for a great player to become a great coach. If you're naturally talented, it can be very difficult to teach what you do to others who maybe aren't so gifted.
@@KyleS.1987 Not only that, but something else exists in as well: Polanyi’s paradox, something which you have fully internalized from experience and do automatically is really hard to explain to others. For example applies to problem solving. For example in business. At some point you get an intuition of how to go about something, but you can't explain to anyone how or why you choose that way.
@@autohmae It is always really funny to get teaching serious answers on a joke... says a lot about the ability of the humor-detector of the answering one... many thx for a hard laugh!
geez man, of the vocal coaches that have reaction channels, you are by far the clearest in your analysis
Josue Ignacio because he actually knows what he’s talking about, some of the others out there have no idea :)
@@ShredleyGTR You can say that again. Some are pretty unprofessional. They criticize or insult rather than analyzing and teaching.
No doubt. I watched many of them, but only Sam and Tara Simon I continue to watch
He is the best!
Sam is the best on UA-cam.
"I want to hear her on a more beltier song" -- Floor -- "hold my beer"
How about hold the keg!
came to the comments to find this exact thing
or hold my wine
Same, was like 'give it ten minutes babe' ahahaha
Yeah buddy
I like how you actually explain every single action that she makes XD other people that have reacted to this song just say it’s “amazing” which it is, but we come to watch the reaction of a vocal trainer/teacher so yeah you would expect more
Totally, having it all explained is very informative. Learning from good examples is great! Since Floor herself is a vocal coach and trained classica singer, I am very sure she is aware of everything, she does say she nerds out the details.
Thank you for analyzing this performance. You explain vocal technique like no other vocal coach could. Be prepared for the Nightwish army to invade this video. P.S. remember Nightwish fans, he is a vocal coach not a reactor.
Nah, he's not insulting Floor in any way. He's just explaining how Floor does it. Floor fans only get upset when someone uses their professional reputation to attack Floor's talent like she doesn't know what she's doing. That's the big lie that won't be tolerated.
I think you missed my point entirely. I was saying the Nightwish fans will love this.
@@sexysingingcupcake I did miss your point. I think you're right. Nightwish fans will love it.
SAM is a vocal TEACHER not a coach. He is so different than the others. You just love Sam when you listen to him and his explaining what you are hearing and even how you can change or not. Ya gotta love Sam. He loves music and will listen to any kind of music and talk about it which is great. Some find music they don't typically like hard to talk about. You won't find that with Sam. Thanks Sam! This was great! I like this one myself!
You kept using the word CONSISTENT with how she performed and I couldn't agree more. The reason why I feel Floor is one of the absolute best vocalists is due to her consistency which is insane considering how wide her style and range is. Thanks for the analysis, been waiting months for a nightwish video!
Bryan Thompson Check out Marco Saaresto from Poets of the Fall. He has a great voice and is absolutely stunning live.
@@Angelos42 Sounds awesome. Def checking tonight
I also think her choices throughout the song are more consistent than Tarja. I feel like I’ve noticed looking back at old recordings Tarja’s vowel placement isn’t consistent even within the same song. First song I noticed this in was Phantom
I think Floor Jensen is very aware of what she's doing to craft the sound she's creating. The best example I've seen is from a European show that showcased singers performing each others songs or songs special to them, during which she performed The Phantom of the Opera. It's a small stage and the camera work is excellent, which shows the contortions and odd faces she uses to shape the sound in precisely the manner she wants it. (She also performs an interesting and breathy rendition of Shallow.)
Pausing that last note should be criminal. #Bastard (jk don't ban me)
it is criminal... should be at least a 10 years in prison
Pausing AND talking through it
I know he likes to really break vocals down, and he waited through most of them but stopping Floor in that last note is........... Evil.
@@mella8559 20 years then
In Sam's case you have to forgive him. He just can't help himself because he just has to say what he has to say :D
I NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST! Thank you so much for reacting to this song, awesome video as always!
Me too!
same!
Me too! Thank you for doing this!
You may wanna watch "Bethroars" reacting on the same song in another live show. And she didn't skip the parts where Floor is not singing.
@@peterdoe2617 I've seen her too. Thank you fro suggesting tho!
YES. I've been waiting for this. Hope you keep on doing Nightwish. Thank you.
More Nightwish! I agree with seeing Poet and the Pendulum at Weberley Arena
He will rewind half of song, so pls no
"This is the police.." *Wembley
@@TheYannir Sorry! :/ I didn't look before posting. My bad
@@user-hd7fd4th8e so what? if you want to listen the song jsut do it, if you wan't to listen to a explanation on what's happening you watch these videos.
@@re.nate.g to tell the truth i dont think that he is professional vocal teacher.
Of all the reaction videos I've seen you're the first to actually go in depth to how our voice works. Thanks for that, it's really entertaining and educational.
This song is about an hour into their 105 minute set, and she still has the control and energy to do this song.
This is the one vocal reaction I was dying to see 😍
Edit: I’ve seen Nightwish live with Floor three times, and yes, she nails this perfectly live - don’t let the video editing/sound balancing/mixing fool you.
Mugroar I’ve seen Floor live with Nightwish twice and yes she does nail this perfectly live! I’m in awe of her every time ☺️☺️
@@michellefaz7534 I’ve never seen Floor live, but I have seen Simone Simons with Epica and Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil together live twice, both killed it, but Cristina had a cold coming on the first time I saw them, so she was a little off and wasn’t singing her high notes as much. Never seen Liv Kristine live, but I have an uncle who saw her back in the late 90s with and said she was a killer.
OMG! You made a video of Nightwish! I've loved them for about 11 years and I haven't clicked on a video so fast. Floor voice is beautiful and even Sam liked it 😍.
Yaaass finally! Please do Romanticide! Or whatever, just keep reacting to Nightwish and metal 🤘🏻
Amen!
Yes! I love Romanticide! You're gonna love it! She's more agressive in this one, but stil flawless!
Nice!! I’ve seen this requested on so many channels- glad you did this!!
I am gonna cry, i have been asking for this since I first wach your videos, thank you.
I really love the way you explain things
" I would like to hear her in the belting of the higher notes, but I don´t really think it´s their thing.."
O´man, are you in for a surprise!......
Excellent run through of her techniques btw.
Good job.
Just my thoughts when I heard him say that lol.
Yes, I would love to hear you analyze Tarja's vocal performance too. The comparison between Floor and Tarja would be very interesting to analyze.
Hey Sam, I saw Florence + The Machine live yesterday and it was amazing, she jumped and danced the whole time and didn't miss a single note! So I want to join all the people who've been asking you to react to Flo. Try something from the new tour, she's improved a lot over the last years. I really like 100 years live at Later with Jools. Thank you!
Lol the mobile game ad was interesting. Glad ur getting paid somehow for your work
Joshua Howard I feel he could’ve kept playing the song for the ad! Haha.
The money people get for mobile game ads is insane. Far beyond the usual sponsorships. Of course it depends on the creator and their reach but I wouldn't be surprised to hear this one video covered Sam's expenses for couple of months.
SandCube Wow... I really didn’t know that. 😳
@EJ D I mean a couple months worth of entertainment from a free mobile game is a pretty good value.
I hope he got good money for that ad. Good content should get good pay.
what a marvelous vocal breakdown here Sam! ive watched this on dozens of channels and by far you smashed it
Finally SAM!!!! I’ve been waiting this video for 5 months!
Such a treat to wake up to! Thank you, Sam! I love hearing people break down Floor's technique.
Yes. What you said about Classical Sopranos... At 4:58... is very correct. Thank you for saying that. Most people don't believe we can. I sing Classical Soprano but can also sing contemporary. But I am no where near her level. Love Enya. Sam, you are Awesome!
Oh God I have been WAITING for this. Thanks Sam!!
YES THANK YOU, SAM. Been waiting for this one for ages.
you paused the Floorgasm :(, but its forgivable since you did an analysis instead of a reaction, but still u paused it and didn't hear it in its full power :(
itt is never forgivable to pause in the Floorgasm
I agree, don't pause the floorgasm. Just don't.
He heard it, because he immediately analysed it and told us what she was doing. He just isn't responding emotionally like fans are. He's breaking it down for us what she's doing, from a professional singer's perspective.
@@jimmyboy131 that's why i said it forgivable since he was doing an analysis but when you're speaking and thinking about something you cant feel or hear the music in its full potential, just a fact
Floorgasm, LOL SMH
I want to thank the replies months ago for helping me discover this great band and Floor from reading all the comments from people requesting this song. Trying to catch up on 20 years of music makes me feel like a kid on Christmas, new gifts every day. Thank you for inadvertently directing me to Nightwish.
Enjoy listening to one of the best bands out there.
Welcome to the family 😉
Welcome to the club. Floor Jansen changed this band in a very interesting way. Some love her ... some don't. You be the judge.
Have you found the older Tarja songs yet? And do you like them?
Personally, I think Tarja and Floor are equally talented ladies, with different style of voice. They each bring something unique (and awesome!) to the band.
And I think it’s great to listen to Tarja’s songs as well- I love her straight opera voice, gives a very epic feel, where Floor’s angelic, clear as a bell voice sends shivers down my spine.
Obviously, I’m not one to get into the whole competitive, who was better thing- they’re both amazing, and you should definitely give both a go!
(Though I’ll be honest, the one between Tarja and Floor didn’t have the same wow factor, or talent, as far as I’m concerned. I don’t want to come across as mean though- but I don’t think she compares to T & F in this particular situation- maybe she shines better in a different place?)
@@katherinemorelle7115 I have gone back and bought and listened to Tarja's and some Annette. I heard Floor first and that's what grabbed me, so naturally she became my favorite. I really do like many of Tarja's vocals. Even Annette's versions of some of her songs I prefer too.
Again, you are the best 'analyst' for Floor that I have watched. Everyone has their niches (okay, almost everyone, some just ooh and ahh). Every time I watch this (7-8 times now?) I learn something. Sounds simplistic, but I think people who do a single pass on anything are missing a lot. I haven't seen you much lately, I hope everything is well. I realize I am somewhat necroing this thread, but still I watch.
Finally !!! OMG ! I was waiting for this one for so long !! Thank you so much for making this video !!
I love how seriously this guy treat these reactions, the analysis is incredible
though the video got a little choppy regarding to the emotion of the song getting interrupted, but I'm OK with that, he wasn't just saying things, He's really really focusing on the voices
Holy cow. I just learned more about why Floor sounds so good in twenty minutes than in the whole of my life so far. Nightwish with Floor is my absolute favorite band because of the dynamism of her voice. I know few singers as dynamic, but Larkin Poe’s more vocal sister provides a pretty close approximation. Check out “We Intertwine.” Totally different style of music, but her vocal ability is equally sublime. IMO, anyway.
I see David Draiman of Disturbed as an example of the “grabbing” you’re talking about, a maneuver that changes the sound of the voice.
Thank you for being there! Keep on doing what you are doing! So grateful....
Been waiting for ages for this! Thanks Sam for doing it. Really brightened up my day.
I've been waiting for this!!!!!
Finally! I wished, that you would react to that masterpiece :)
I've seen a bunch of these analysis now. This one is good! It brought a lot of new stuff to my attention. Thanx dude!
Everybody starts smiling when they first hear Floor 😊
THAT is so very true! I was in concert with a friend in Hamburg in november. And then there was a song,when Marco raised his voice. And I told her: "the great thing about this band: they have two fantastic singers!"
meganega123 No, I'm not. I prefer Tarja.
@@tamashii6670 i respect your opinion but tarja can sing only boring operatic but floor can sing everything and taja is good but not for me
@@jzundert Really? Do you ever listen Tarja from her solo career? I think that you're not... In Nighteish Tarja never singing full operatic, only in classical songs and opera arias in her solo career and solo performances and classical concerts when she was in Nightwish. First you listen her music, then you may talking about her singing, ok? Tarja singing not only in classical way, also in lyrical, like Floor, and in operatic, these are three technique, but she take elements from many styles of music and singing. Please, first listen. ;)
@@tamashii6670 i am fan from nightwish whit floor i think toamas find floor better for nightwish than tarja like me so marry your tarja and goodbye
This Woman is a living Legend. My Queen
Agree
A goddess!
Finally! Omg I'm so excited
I just got the biggest grin in my face when you introduced the sponsor- you just seemed so happy about it, and I’m so happy for you that you got a sponsor, even if I have absolutely no interest in the game whatsoever (and normally put up with ads grudgingly)
But you seem so excited and happy, and I’m happy along with you!
Also, as much as I loved Nightwish with Tarja (and I loved the full on opera sound she brought), I also love them with Floor. She’s a wonderful mix of contemporary and classical, and she fits with them so well.
Yours is the best and most analytical vocal coach reaction I have seen so far. Great job!
this was wonderful and your description of mix at the end was really clear and helpful. also hi silver play button, i see you back there queen
Thank you so much for this reaction. When I saw the alert in my email, it was like being a kid again and receiving the best Xmas present ever LOL... And your analysis was fascinating. Always love learning new things, which is why I love your videos.
If you could do the Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley 2016, that would be awesome. As others have mentioned, it showcases even more of Floor Jansen's ability.
Again, thank you so much for doing this. It was awesome :D
Oh, I'd also suggest you prepare to be inundated by a legion of Nightwish fans.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSS
Finally !! What we were waiting for !!
Thank you Sam!
You should definitely react to "the poet and the pendulum" live wembley, interesting vocally :)
Maxime Santos that, and Seven Days to the Wolves (Live )
Yes please haha
@@JulzNB8805 specifically, live at Barona Areena
Droogie128 thx! Agreed! In my humble opinion the best live version of that song
YES PLS xD
He needs to react to Epica ft. Floor Jansen - Sancta Terra!!! Like so he can see!!!❤️
I do not think that it will impress him after GLS. Better Phantom of the opera End of an era live it really looks more like an opera.
@@annabern8814 Thats tarja tho
@@jorgefrade8900 Tarja did it first, Floor did it on Bezte Zangers in the Netherland with Herk Poort (think it’s Poort).
You are a wonderful person with a great way of explaining and taking us along the ride
I have been waiting for this for so long! ❤
Floor is absolutely amazing, her range and talent is phenomenal
I had a feeling, scrolling through, that people might be on ya for pausing that final note. People like to see full reactions to it in the full Floor glory.
But don’t be so hard on him, guys, he’s a vocal coach and he’s analyzing!
He talked through the first part and paused the second, how the fuck r u supposed to analyze that?
(Proof is, he totally butchered that analysis, starting from the note)
Here’s the thing, you two and everyone else have seen the video probably thousands of times. I’m sure after all of you complained about it, maybe he even watched it fully through in his own time, I don’t know. But he’s the vocal coach and you’re not. It’s not like him pausing it would have effected the analysis of it. “Analyze while not singing”? Most people who react will often pause as to avoid copyright claims. You’re all just mad that he paused at a moment you’ve all seen over and over, and you didn’t get to comment “Floorgasm victim” on another video. He wasn’t watching this as a fan or like other reaction channels, to just watch it for new music.
Breathe. There are tons of other channels for that and I’ve seen a LOT of others watch this specific performance and not pause your favorite part. You’re all acting like he did the worst thing in the world.
@@imcherylynn Lighten up, Cherry. This guy's annoying as fuck, it's fine to analyze but it's also fine to stfu and listen to the damn song.
Rick Leblanc 1. Did you seriously spell my name incorrectly with my name right there? 2. Why watch it if you feel that way? I said it once and I’ll say it again. There are PLENTY of other videos/channels where people just sit and listen to the song. This is not one of them. Someone who is a *vocal coach* is not going to simply sit there and listen to the song beginning to end and say nothing regarding Floor’s vocals. Complain elsewhere, and/or go watch someone who isn’t a vocal coach. Simple as that. You’re making a mountain out of a molehill.
Rick Leblanc thing is, Dick, Sam is a TEACHER. He will take what he hears and use it to teach his audience how the singer is doing what they are doing, what they’re doing right, why they might have missed something and so on.
If you want a straight reaction, go watch that. Sam teaches. He’s also incredibly nice about everything, even when there are mistakes (seriously, he reacted to the 10 worst idol auditions and was still lovely and saying nice things- though honest and helpful).
Been waiting for this video for months!
This is the best explanation of all the ones i have seen, and it makes me even more in awe of how good this voice is.
FINALLY! I've been waiting on you to do this for a year now. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish and the Floorgasm! The ADHD in this is real though - interrupting the Floorgasm by pausing is a sin. I'm glad you at least unpaused to let it finish. :) Now how about Nightwish - Romanticide (Live Wacken 2013) ? She hits a D6 effortlessly and its a much shorter song so you won't feel the need to rush through the whole thing or pause it constantly. Thank you!
Omg! I had the chance to watch this performance live here in Argentina :3 It was great! Thank you soooo much for uploading this ♥️ Nw is my fav band! Love your videos Sam! :D
this performance wasn't in argentinia. It's from the Wacken Open Air 2013 in germany
I was one of the many that had been begging you to react to this song, so you can imagine my happiness when I saw you finally did. And you certainly didn't disappoint. :D
Dude... I loved your analysis. I've been looking for these mathematical like explanations of Floor's instrument for so long.
Floor is a voice teacher as well, she knows what she is doing :)
Extensive training at a German Music Conservatory in operatic technique.
"How she sounds like on a bigger, beltier song"
Ooohhhh boy... 😂😂
I am so happy you reacted to this 😍👌 love your analysis and all your videos!!!
Been waiting for this, awesome!
You should perhaps make a note of which Nightwish singer is performing this song!(unless I missed it?) As some one who listens to Nightwish I recognize that this is Floor Jansen(As do, I see, many fellow commenting watchers ^-^), but when the band originally recorded the song it was with Tajra Turunen. If I recall from an interview Floor doesn't actually enjoy singing (learning?) the classical style.
I'd have loved to hear your thoughts on how the song has changed (or not changed) between the different vocalists of Nightwish, but Ghost Love Score is indeed quite a song to tackle, never mind doing it multiple times for the sake of analysis.
That was a great watch nevertheless, lovely work as always. Cheers!
Oh I KNOW you didn't just pause in the middle of that last note. YOU MONSTER.
Your descriptions and analysis of what’s happening vocally was awesome. You made so much more sense to me than some of the terms more commonly used (head, mix, etc.) your descriptions about flow and resistance was way simpler to understand.
SAM!! This video made me soooo happy! I was having a terrible morning and then you popped into my feed with one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite artists and made everything better! Floor has such a wonderful instrument and I really enjoyed watching you experience her properly and give me more of an insight as to how she does what she does. I hope you have an amazing day! 😍
Floor? Angel? More like Valkyrie. Also, this song is almost 80 minutes into that particular set at Wacken, so she hadd been singing like that for over an hour.
Which makes what she does next in Song of Myself even more amazing!
Holy shit, seriously? What a warrior.
Floor Jansen is a beast. I'd love to see you do a comparison video between her and Tarja Turunen doing the same Nightwish song. I think the difference between how they each approach the same lines would be really interesting to evaluate.
I recently unlocked my head voice, and when I did I found I was able to bring it pretty low into my chest voice range. What you said at the end about mix made a lot of sense to me, and it made a lot of what I've been doing make sense. I was singing at karaoke on Sunday, and I managed to take an extended note that began in my chest and as it was still being sung I opened things up and got my head voice in there, and I don't think anyone noticed I was doing it. So that was cool. I'd call my chest voice mature and my head voice juvenile to adolescent, but practice makes progress.
Omg! We have waited and we've received! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Now, to be absolutely happy we need some new Hozier material 😊
I was waiting for this video. Thank you.
Have you reviewed Tarja doing ghost love score? would love to see that. if anyone has it btw please link it to me
Plz do more Nightwish
Love your videos and knowledge! Your energy in each video is always up and I appreciate it👍
This might be the most intense vocal analysis of this song I have seen. Impressive, learned a lot just hearing your explanations. Like a vocal master class...
Thank you for the analysis. I got the impression that you liked her vocals a lot. It is great to hear from someone that knows what they are doing. My untrained hearing tells me that she is really good. So If you are liking it, I feel better about how I much I like it................ :-)
Floor shows only how wet she can get everything! ;-)
@@markschattefor6997 :-) You are funny!
@@fdsannie
That's it?
I would live to see you react to someone older, like Judy Garland or Ruth Etting. It's such a different style to today that it would be fun to know how a vocal coach hears it.
Sam, your analysis is so interesting, I'm on my fifth watching of this because I'm a Nightwish fan and also, you cram in SO much analysis and are virtually talking in a foreign language! Every time I watch it and look up more of the terms you're using, I gain a little more understanding.
Never in my life did I think I'd see a rage legend shadows or whatever ad in a vocal coach video lol
Sam, she can growl aswell, and does it pretty good in "yours is an empty hope" live from wembley 2015 concert. I'd reccomend you to react to that it's really dope
Please :D
Her growly voice sounds like a weak male singer.
I think growling is her lowest point. It's a good tool to have and mix here and there within her performance. But she loses the ability to hit notes and maintain a Melody when she growls (refer to her performance of Disdain with ReVamp).
She's amazing though, and probably the best (or at least the most complete) female rock/metal vocalist right now.
@@thebreatho that's why Marco sings while she growls
See Floor at her band Revamp..Disdain or Trial of Monsters.. you hear when she groewl 🤗
Excellent analysis! I've mostly seen reactions to this song, with only some light analysis/commentary on her technique and such. You being so thorough was an interesting take!
Now, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want you to react to more Nightwish because please please do! Basically any song from this performance (Wacken Open Air 2013) would be a great candidate but especially Romanticide, Ever Dream, and Song of Myself. Also, Poet and the Pendulum from Wembly 2015 is amazing. And Greatest Show on Earth from Tampere... I have a feeling everyone will be politely requesting these songs once the Nightwish fans drop in en mass... :) Still though, please do more. I love the way you break it down and explain what's happening to a mere mortal such as myself. =D
Congrats on the sponsor, dude! Keep doing what you do, I love your videos and don't mind sitting through an ad or two if it allows you to keep making this quality content.
I've been waiting for this day ♥
I downloaded the game because while I really love RPGs I also REALLY want to support you. So glad to see you getting endorsements and sponsors!
I’m not a singer, but I play violin and this guy knows what he’s talking about. A+ for music theory.
I love your videos man. So helpful; thank you for everything you do.
thank you for finally doing this! i will hold my promise and subscribe ;)
I may get shit for this but I really want to know what he says about Tarja. I still love her voice
Yay! Thank you for finally reacting to this song! Her vocal skills are amazing!
Mr Sam Johnson, your analysis is amazing ! I always get very impressed with your skills !
I love listening to your analysis and reactions! I clicked on ur video so damn fast cuz I knew it was gunna be great! I sung along the whole time and learned a lot!
YOU STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOORGASM! BLASPHEMY... LOL... other than that Thanks for the wonderful reaction and all the info. She is the queen of Metal and you should do more Nightwish reactions. Like Poet and the Pendulum or The Greatest Show on Earth :)
trinxikene It was shocking, but at least I’ve now learnt the importance of regularly opening my vowels, I do try every morning after breakfast. 🤟
At least he finished it unliek some other "vocal coach" who left it out altogether :P
I've always loved the way how you actually explain what happens. These cheap copycats who came after you are "vocal coach reacts" and they just react - and there is nothing interesting in watching what someone expresses on their face while watching a video. Keep on doing the good work!
Been waiting for this one!!!
Finnaly found the Nightwish video, thanks so much
Was waiting for this!!! Floor is AMAZING ! 🙌
Oh my god Sam!!!!!!... Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!
Yes! About time!
HOLY SHIT THANK YOU!!! I've been hoping and hoping you'd do this one!!
