Floor is 100% lady! I'm not sure I'm even the same species as her. I'm much older, but no way near as mature as her. She's very beautiful, intelligent and well spoken
That's the misconception you make about maturity.. If you are on camera doing an interview yes you have to act professional for people to like you.. Including Floor, Floor is not perfect, she is as much as human like the other person. But Floor just happened to be talented in her vocals. But everyone has their ups and downs and bad habits in their personal lives.. So what i'm trying to say is, don't think less of yourself compared to others. Don't even compare yourself to others period!.
+Silver Spike You are the one who is the stupid one, obviously. You can clearly see she is not a dog. Also, dogs don't talk. But perhaps the drugs are blurring your vision and hearing. And it is "a" bitch, not just bitch. But again, that may the drugs you are using.
Usually I try to avoid interviews because part of me is always a bit afraid that I'll find out that a musician or celebrity I really like is actually a huge asshole or whatever. But I swear the more of these interviews I watched the more I found myself liking Floor. Very classy and down to earth. Intelligent answers and beautiful smile too ^^
Yeah, absolutely! Except I don't usually watch any musicians' interviews. Well, I've watched some Marco interviews, a couple with Floor, and he is a really kind, friendly dude too.
please please don,t get me wrong, nightwish is truely amazing band i love them to bits. is it me or Floor Jansen stunningly beautiful, the kind of lady that makes you stop and look and you know your jaw just dropped. Wow what a stunning lady with a heavenly voice. thanks lord.
What a woman!! Beautiful, emotional, intelligent, humble, kind, considerate, inquisitive, funny, I could go on and on. Best decision Nightwish made post-Tarja was to bring Floor into the band. She has revitalized them.
She certainly is a treasure every way! I'm in the Floor wagon but I gotta give credit to Anette too. Anette's Amaranth is still probably most sold Nightwish song ever, the official video has 103 million views in UA-cam. Respects!
In regard to Floors' work, she is a gift to the world. So much emotion , joy, and immensity of feeling is channeled through her. My words cannot express how she, and the band have fed my soul, exactly in the way I need. Thank you, Floor, for being here with us.
Watching this in 2020, I believe she's now fluent in Dutch, English, Swedish, and Finnish. I don't think many people can claim to be fluent in four languages.
I first heard Floor back when I lived in the Netherlands and After Forever came hot on the heels of Within Temptation. I really liked her but after I moved back to Denmark, she vanished of my radar. Imagine my surprise when I realised she was the new singer in Nightwish. Great singer and the new album is amazing. And, she's incredibly hot as well. ;)
I am absolutely in love with her, everything about the way she presents herself, never forgets her band, great sense of humour too, wish her, her family and the band all the best.
Once, just once, I'd love to go on a Nightwish video without seeing the names "Anette" or "Tarja" or the hopeless cretins that keep acting as if the three are / were competing. Such people are not Nightwish fans.
I know i was kidding with you..All the singers are good in their own right. I bet any of those calling them couldnt go in front of thousands and sing I couldnt.
There's die-hard fans to all 3 singers. Some unfortunately praise their favorite trashing others, or the fans of others. But I think it happens with every band that has changed members. And almost every vocalists/musician have fans who think only he/she is divine while others suck. It's not only a Nightwish thing!
Wait, there are only 5,5 million people in all Finland O.O Wow! I thought The Netherlands was crowded but I had no idea XD We have about 17 million in this small country xD Yeah true, when there is snow in this country, everything dies/stops working XD I am very curious to the sauna rituals and the Christmas rituals in Finland now :3 (I wish I had space and money for a sauna at home T^T) I do think that regarding Christmas, it's a bit more f the 'older' rituals, like before Christianity took over and it's now known as Christmas. Beforehand, there were Yule trees, bonfires, krampus instead of santa claus and many more little things I am sure but I am getting quite curious here :3 Her answers are so intelligent and well spoken and explained. I really, really apprciate that and love hearing such types of deeper and alaborated answers
Bizarre interview style (and the Tuomas interview same day) seemed to imply Floor wasn't doing her bit for the sisterhood by not taking charge of the songwriting process. Also seemed fixated on the Evolution question - more so with Tuomas 🇬🇧🤘🤘
+lovmjking58 ... how do u figure? just looked at HELSINKI... wouldn't consider anything else as to weather and such, preferring urban areas... looked at their record high temps for may-august... pretty funny, they look identical to our normal highs here in north central florida ;) too cold for me... i like more sun...
I have a couple of friends that live there and i ve seen the pictures they send to me, i have to know there first haha but at least the stuff that i know from there i fell in love and i love the cold weather ,the forest etc
Guys, it's definately not fun here in Finland in winter. No Sun anywhere, for such a long time. It really hits hard. The cold and cars equalling ice cubes is not the worst thing. But yeah summers are nice if you don't need hot.
She made me laugh in shock when she said,when Finland gets cold nothing works,dude if she would have called me at 2am you better believe I would have been over there chopping wood,making a fire and and hot coco with marshmallows,Nothing works in Finland when it gets cold Mann..I don't care if my car would have broken down on the way..you better believe that whole house would have been comfortable..with no draft by the doorway..she wouldn't have to ask twice,I'll be right on over..you need firewood,food milk,whatever,I'm on it..Floor Jansen..You Better Bet On It..KK Out!!
@@xcritic9671 It's because it's always being pushed in all media, as if it's a proven scientific fact. She claims it is because she's been fooled, like most of us have been. It's only when you turn off Dawkins and those guys, and step back from it, and actually use common sense to reason your way through it, that you realize that the whole thing doesn't work. Aside from that, yes, she is extremely talented, and has the best smile!
I dont think tarja has near the power of floor. In my opinion floor is better at bringing tuomas's inventions to life. She has great stage presence , can work a crowd and is an all around swell person.
most dutch speak english better because of subtitles on tv, whcih are not common in most other countries. It's not because we have such a great education system that is making it happen, and never has been..
I thought maybe there were possible places the interviewer stumbled because maybe she was a little nervous or star struck? I thought Floor was just so gracious throughout the interview. The interviewer asked one question I always find amusing as a writer myself when people ask, "where do your ideas come from?" The reality for most writers is we don't often know where the ideas come from typically, they just come. And sometimes even the most mundane ordinary things that might not even register on someone else's radar will loom large on our radar and will inspire something in us that non-writers might not even notice. I think we observe and often perceive the world differently as writers. I know I do. But the truth is I don't always know what will inspire me to write, or what will trigger my imagination. Sometimes nothing does. Sometimes, it feels like everything does. A lot of it can depend on where I'm at emotionally, too. When my emotions are relaxed and under control and not feeling like they're spinning out of my control, I seem to write a bit less frequently because I don't feel in turmoil. When my emotions are in more of an uproar or are a bit tumultuous, I am often more receptive to creative inspiration because my emotions are already in a heightened state of sensitivity and awareness. Beyond that? It's hard to say. Because the creative process is different for everyone, we really just don't know what will inspire us. I found it interesting that Floor finds being happy more inspiring for her creative process. Sadness and emotional vulnerability seem to inspire my muse more often. As I noted, I write a bit less when my life doesn't feel like it's in as much upheaval. Songs or poems, anyway. Writing like this I do almost daily and don't need to be in a state of hyper sensitivity to write or voice opinions or philosophies particularly. But, for me, writing lyrics for songs or poems I tend to be more inspired when the emotions are more raw. And in THAT state of heightened or hyper emotional awareness, almost everything is inspirational. My favorite stories about my own occasionally warped inspiration perception would probably baffle others who don't see things the same way. I worked at Walmat in Brea California for a few years. A coworker once asked me to ring up his purchase and I said sure. He only had two things: a multi-pack of tank tops and a music CD. There were 7 tank tops, and they were the white ones you so often see guys or gals wearing on episodes of Cops. And for a while, they were known colloquially as wife-beaters. And I said "Seven wife-beaters and an Al Green CD. That sounds like the title of a country western song." And of course I wrote it a bit later after work. ☺ Another time I had just finished showering and was hunting around the bathroom looking for Q-tips. I opened one drawer and found no Q-tips but a box of make-up remover that my now former fiance used to take off her make-up at night before she went to bed. She and I were in the throes of concluding our relationship, which I could sense was impending but which I really didn't want to happen, either. And when I saw that box of make-up remover pads, I said to myself "what I could use right now is some break-up remover." So I wrote a song about wishing I had some break-up remover and how I hated getting it in my eyes because it always made me cry. And two little otherwise mundane ordinary things just happened to inspire or triggered my creativity to kick in. I usually try to keep a small notebook or notepad handy to write down inspirational thoughts when they occur to me because I want to remember them and because I never know when inspiration will strike, so I prefer to be ready for whenever it does. But, that's just me and it is a different process for everyone. And most of us can never be sure when or where inspiration will strike or what will trigger it because the process is so different for each of us. I do think if we're not open to being inspired by anything and everything, we risk being inspired by nothing.
Floor if you ever want a 6'4" American boyfriend just let me know had to throw that out there she is incredible talented and beautiful all in one package who could ask for more
In another video Floor showed that she will resort to trying English if she has to, but she wants to learn the language of the place she lives so she tries to use what she has. But even a Finnish teenager was able to get a better handle on English than I would have ever guessed, it was super impressive. Americans don't learn near enough foreign language.
The problem is that we use Finnish among ourselves. Probably Nightwish band members use English as their working language, as Troy is English, and their previous vocalist was Swedish.
The band members all know English of course, but from what I’ve seen, they seem to speak Finnish to one another as well. Presumably unless speaking with Troy or Floor. So it’ll help herself out to at least understand Finnish even if she can’t speak it too well yet.
Now...!! You got the true Master of the vocal cords, an unlimited range in, the beautiful child Dutch goddess... Miss floor Jansen! Tharja and Annette both, were one-dimensional. Tarja only had a throaty monotone falsetta's sounding Opera only , vocal Style. And it just doesn't fit Nightwish to me. It's just strictly 2 Opera sounding. And yes there is a difference between classical and Opera. And if I didn't know what she looked like , I picture tarja a big heavy set woman with a Viking helmet on singing an opera ... That's it . But now, Annette... She has that Minnie Mouse, top 40 slash pop sound of vocals... Just didn't fit one-dimensional and no emotion whatsoever. Now, floor Jansen... Wow, what can you say anybody with a brain hasn't already said or thought?! Number 1 - Beauty , check! seductiveness and sensuous stage presence, check! Powerful vocals, check! Can go low or growl, check! Heavy Rock raspy Style Like Pat Benatar or Ann Wilson of heart, check! High notes and beautiful angelic vibrato and Grace of Celine Dion, check! As well as classically and Opera vocally trained, check! And the emotion she can put in a song oh, you will think that you were a part of the story as well as like in poet and the pendulum for instance... Could even get my six foot tall 200 pound ass manly man so to speak, to cry like a bitch, check, check and check!! Floor Jansen, is the reason that I am gridlock inphonite wish for the past couple of years or more. The musicianship oh, that's a gimme... There is no better as well as the master of a lyrical and music world, t u o m a s, well they're all on point all of the time. Jukka, evidently that serious medical case of insomnia is pretty bad. Because for the past four or five years, they've had winter Sun's drummer. But that couldn't hurt cuz he's a lot more technical and a badass himself. but he's a close friend of jukka, so either one of them would have hard feelings if or when it comes to an end. Anyway I never light night wishes vocals, so I passed them on pie every time I come across them playing or videos. But then...! Surfing the UA-cam check it out bands from different countries as I always do me being a drummer and all, I come across the jewel Festival, wacken 2013 and God the crowd look like ants, and who do I see on stage...? none other than the goddess with the angelical voice floor Jansen. let me tell you this, as a musician it's called a white elephant when talking about... The perfect set or gig. and any band will tell you there not guaranteed every time. To where everything and aspect from set up, sound, performing, xcetera, goes perfectly. But that show that night was put on at wacken 2013 when floor was just in the band a couple few months, and to be honest I didn't expect any less because I've loved her from after forever and revamp... She's about as professional as you can get on stage on the mic or anything to do with the show. and when she goes to telling a story with her seductive moves, flipping her hair, dancing, and the one aspect that Annette didn't seem to give a shit about her wardrobe, oh my God! would she come out on stage at that 2013 wacken looking like Xena Princess Warrior along with her leather cape... Holy shitballs Batman! She could put you, as a man anyway... In a trance in a snap quick in a hurry. Long story short - ish anyway, Nightwish... Like Metallica firing Dave Mustaine what's the best thing in the world, because we got Megadeth. Because like all that knows music, Megadeth is so much Superior of musicianship then that simpleton band Metallica. So thank you Lars Ulrich rich for that. But like that same situation, Nightwish thank you! Because you upgraded and there's so much more... Everything! You got graced by God himself by lending you one of his angels, so kudos, you just been upgraded to the penthouse suite at the top! and now because the floor, seems like everyday I got one have you guys to my head. So, thanks for making that change because every Nightwish song is like hearing it with fresh ears with floor Jansen
She actually looks really sad when she's asked about her own country and about missing the songwriting, but does not really seem to want to give the more vulnerable but more honest answer, which can be observed when simply looking at her facial expression. She used to have control in her previous bands, and now she's just another expandable puppet of Tuomas
Only between your own damn ears. She is smart enough to know the situation when she joined NW, and that is that Tuomas is the creative mastermidn behind the band, and does 99% of the songwriting, and she accepted that when she took the job, simple as that. If she really wanted to have full reign on songwriting, she would have simply said no, and continued on with ReVamp.
@@TerranigmaQuintet She is co-operating with another musician with Northward, her another band. I don't know but I would think she writes music for them.
Not sure from where Floor got that evolution has been scientifically proven. It is still very much a theory with a whole bunch of wholes in it, that probably will never get resolved. Honestly, it takes more faith to believe in the evolution theory than in a God who has created everything. Having said that, I do love the album very much though.
She doesnt believe in God.... huh ..... From a person who has died I can tell you that you will meet a being as soon as you die and you will be more alive than you have ever experienced.... Fact :)
Yeah nobody has a reason to believe you. Prove that you actually saw a being or God and that it wasn't just a malfunction of your brain dying. Then we'll talk. Don't just assert that you know you saw a being and then provide no evidence. Also no one has to even care of there's a god or believe in one or believe in yours in particular. The god of the Bible in particular is a worthless piece of shit that I'll gladly spit in his face. As for the other gods , I cannot say, I've never studied them.
Religion is for the weak of mind among us. Religions are human made to control masses, to enpower the few (often men). Profets are human males with an ego problem.
@@anne29030 Religion and spirituality are not necessarily the same. There's the problem right there. Ray doesn't talk about religion. He talks about a very personal experience. Often, there is great truth in our experiences. One that we shouldn't automatically dismiss. We don't have to "believe" it either. We can simply be open minded about it.
Great interview until she claimed a theory to be reality and then mentioned Richard Dawkins who is a hate monger... I honestly thought she was smarter than to fall for his agenda driven hate :(
Joey Amaranto How is Dawkins a hate monger? That's absurd. The theory of evolution is a scientific theory. A scientific theory meaning a theory that can be proven by science.
It's not the theory that he believes that's hate mongering. It's the hours upon hours of podcasts, interviews and written books where he spreads hate against Christianity, as if the two beliefs were at war. He is doing his utmost to alienate people of faith and turn Christianity into an evil empire that he must convince us to destroy.... How's this for an idea, let everyone believe what they want and stop spreading hate just to line your pockets with book sales.
I'm pretty sure there was a point in history when the brightest minds in the world thought that our planet was flat. And only 70 or so years ago, everyone thought that the atom was the smallest thing in the world, until one of you opened it up to find all this crazy and even smaller shit. And you're gonna tell me you can't be wrong about evolution? Do you honestly believe you have several hundred million great grandparents, and that your first ones crawled out of the ocean? How does that NOT feel like a complete mockery of human intelligence?
I wacthed the whole interview with a huge smile in my face. Floor is just fantastic!
ME TOOO!!
Yeah, same here.
Exactly, her smile is contagious
Same.
Floor is 100% lady! I'm not sure I'm even the same species as her. I'm much older, but no way near as mature as her. She's very beautiful, intelligent and well spoken

Floor olet ihana, parasta mitä Nightwishille on tapahtunut aikoihin. Totally thumbs up, great interview!
Floor queen ❤
Watching this in 2020, I believe she's now fluent in Dutch, English, Swedish, and Finnish. I don't think many people can claim to be fluent in four languages.
And German😊
She looks like an angel ,talk like an angel ,sings like an angel!
Is it really that beautiful in heaven?!
Floor has beautiful eyes 😍
I first heard Floor back when I lived in the Netherlands and After Forever came hot on the heels of Within Temptation. I really liked her but after I moved back to Denmark, she vanished of my radar. Imagine my surprise when I realised she was the new singer in Nightwish. Great singer and the new album is amazing. And, she's incredibly hot as well. ;)
She's absolutely awesome
she is also very smart!!!
she's the queen
Floor is one hot babe. She is good singer too.
***** and Tarja had a bigger vocal range than both of them!
*facepalm. The both of you please...just...just stop.
Morgaine Runions what, it's true..
***** if you can do soprano as Tarja could there is no style you cannot do.
Olson would have no chance against Tarja.
You more horrible spike
I am absolutely in love with her, everything about the way she presents herself, never forgets her band, great sense of humour too, wish her, her family and the band all the best.
LOVE YOU FLOOR!!!! So much!!!!
As a native finnish speaker I can say, that her pronounciation is flawless!!
She is so confident and smooth! Go Floor
She is sooo pretty *.* absolutely one of my paragons
This turned out incredibly prophetic. Floor's first solo album called PARAGON.
She is so charming and eloquent.
She is so beautiful. What a woman... what a voice.
Good interview :)
Floor is so adorable.. 😊❤️
OMG BABY!!! YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!
She is indeed! Fantastic voice too. Not sure why Nightwish is not huger to be honest. They are fantastic!

is it so hard to find an interviewer that can actually speak?

The interviewer asked one question I always find amusing as a writer myself when people ask, "where do your ideas come from?"
The reality for most writers is we don't often know where the ideas come from typically, they just come.
And sometimes even the most mundane ordinary things that might not even register on someone else's radar will loom large on our radar and will inspire something in us that non-writers might not even notice.
I think we observe and often perceive the world differently as writers. I know I do.
But the truth is I don't always know what will inspire me to write, or what will trigger my imagination.
Sometimes nothing does.
Sometimes, it feels like everything does.
A lot of it can depend on where I'm at emotionally, too.
When my emotions are relaxed and under control and not feeling like they're spinning out of my control, I seem to write a bit less frequently because I don't feel in turmoil.
When my emotions are in more of an uproar or are a bit tumultuous, I am often more receptive to creative inspiration because my emotions are already in a heightened state of sensitivity and awareness.
Beyond that? It's hard to say.
Because the creative process is different for everyone, we really just don't know what will inspire us.
I found it interesting that Floor finds being happy more inspiring for her creative process.
Sadness and emotional vulnerability seem to inspire my muse more often. As I noted, I write a bit less when my life doesn't feel like it's in as much upheaval.
Songs or poems, anyway. Writing like this I do almost daily and don't need to be in a state of hyper sensitivity to write or voice opinions or philosophies particularly.
But, for me, writing lyrics for songs or poems I tend to be more inspired when the emotions are more raw.
And in THAT state of heightened or hyper emotional awareness, almost everything is inspirational.
My favorite stories about my own occasionally warped inspiration perception would probably baffle others who don't see things the same way.

And for a while, they were known colloquially as wife-beaters.
And I said "Seven wife-beaters and an Al Green CD. That sounds like the title of a country western song."
And of course I wrote it a bit later after work. ☺
Another time I had just finished showering and was hunting around the bathroom looking for Q-tips.
I opened one drawer and found no Q-tips but a box of make-up remover that my now former fiance used to take off her make-up at night before she went to bed.
She and I were in the throes of concluding our relationship, which I could sense was impending but which I really didn't want to happen, either.
And when I saw that box of make-up remover pads, I said to myself "what I could use right now is some break-up remover."
So I wrote a song about wishing I had some break-up remover and how I hated getting it in my eyes because it always made me cry.
And two little otherwise mundane ordinary things just happened to inspire or triggered my creativity to kick in.
I usually try to keep a small notebook or notepad handy to write down inspirational thoughts when they occur to me because I want to remember them and because I never know when inspiration will strike, so I prefer to be ready for whenever it does.
But, that's just me and it is a different process for everyone.
And most of us can never be sure when or where inspiration will strike or what will trigger it because the process is so different for each of us.
I do think if we're not open to being inspired by anything and everything, we risk being inspired by nothing.
Yeah, they should've done it in Dutch...
yeah and that terrible accent
f*ck, she's so beautiful 😍
American entertainers could learn a lot from Floor...
Absolute class.🇬🇧🤘🤘
floor is a durch name is she dutch
Yes indeed! R u new to NightWish?
Les Adonis yes
Floor :p like be born in Belgium and learn Dutch in Groningen :p
Floor if you ever want a 6'4" American boyfriend just let me know had to throw that out there she is incredible talented and beautiful all in one package who could ask for more
All Finnish plp speak english so..Wheres the proplem...May I ask?
In another video Floor showed that she will resort to trying English if she has to, but she wants to learn the language of the place she lives so she tries to use what she has. But even a Finnish teenager was able to get a better handle on English than I would have ever guessed, it was super impressive. Americans don't learn near enough foreign language.
The problem is that we use Finnish among ourselves.
Probably Nightwish band members use English as their working language, as Troy is English, and their previous vocalist was Swedish.
The band members all know English of course, but from what I’ve seen, they seem to speak Finnish to one another as well. Presumably unless speaking with Troy or Floor. So it’ll help herself out to at least understand Finnish even if she can’t speak it too well yet.
My only regret is not marrying her while she lived around here, we lost her to Sweden...
Men det är också okej. :)
Now...!! You got the true Master of the vocal cords, an unlimited range in, the beautiful child Dutch goddess... Miss floor Jansen! Tharja and Annette both, were one-dimensional. Tarja only had a throaty monotone falsetta's sounding Opera only , vocal Style. And it just doesn't fit Nightwish to me. It's just strictly 2 Opera sounding. And yes there is a difference between classical and Opera. And if I didn't know what she looked like , I picture tarja a big heavy set woman with a Viking helmet on singing an opera ... That's it . But now, Annette... She has that Minnie Mouse, top 40 slash pop sound of vocals... Just didn't fit one-dimensional and no emotion whatsoever. Now, floor Jansen... Wow, what can you say anybody with a brain hasn't already said or thought?! Number 1 - Beauty , check! seductiveness and sensuous stage presence, check! Powerful vocals, check! Can go low or growl, check! Heavy Rock raspy Style Like Pat Benatar or Ann Wilson of heart, check! High notes and beautiful angelic vibrato and Grace of Celine Dion, check! As well as classically and Opera vocally trained, check! And the emotion she can put in a song oh, you will think that you were a part of the story as well as like in poet and the pendulum for instance... Could even get my six foot tall 200 pound ass manly man so to speak, to cry like a bitch, check, check and check!! Floor Jansen, is the reason that I am gridlock inphonite wish for the past couple of years or more. The musicianship oh, that's a gimme... There is no better as well as the master of a lyrical and music world, t u o m a s, well they're all on point all of the time. Jukka, evidently that serious medical case of insomnia is pretty bad. Because for the past four or five years, they've had winter Sun's drummer. But that couldn't hurt cuz he's a lot more technical and a badass himself. but he's a close friend of jukka, so either one of them would have hard feelings if or when it comes to an end. Anyway I never light night wishes vocals, so I passed them on pie every time I come across them playing or videos. But then...! Surfing the UA-cam check it out bands from different countries as I always do me being a drummer and all, I come across the jewel Festival, wacken 2013 and God the crowd look like ants, and who do I see on stage...? none other than the goddess with the angelical voice floor Jansen. let me tell you this, as a musician it's called a white elephant when talking about... The perfect set or gig. and any band will tell you there not guaranteed every time. To where everything and aspect from set up, sound, performing, xcetera, goes perfectly. But that show that night was put on at wacken 2013 when floor was just in the band a couple few months, and to be honest I didn't expect any less because I've loved her from after forever and revamp... She's about as professional as you can get on stage on the mic or anything to do with the show. and when she goes to telling a story with her seductive moves, flipping her hair, dancing, and the one aspect that Annette didn't seem to give a shit about her wardrobe, oh my God! would she come out on stage at that 2013 wacken looking like Xena Princess Warrior along with her leather cape... Holy shitballs Batman! She could put you, as a man anyway... In a trance in a snap quick in a hurry. Long story short - ish anyway, Nightwish... Like Metallica firing Dave Mustaine what's the best thing in the world, because we got Megadeth. Because like all that knows music, Megadeth is so much Superior of musicianship then that simpleton band Metallica. So thank you Lars Ulrich rich for that. But like that same situation, Nightwish thank you! Because you upgraded and there's so much more... Everything! You got graced by God himself by lending you one of his angels, so kudos, you just been upgraded to the penthouse suite at the top! and now because the floor, seems like everyday I got one have you guys to my head. So, thanks for making that change because every Nightwish song is like hearing it with fresh ears with floor Jansen
Danger X shut the fuck up with your stupid essay👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
She actually looks really sad when she's asked about her own country and about missing the songwriting, but does not really seem to want to give the more vulnerable but more honest answer, which can be observed when simply looking at her facial expression. She used to have control in her previous bands, and now she's just another expandable puppet of Tuomas
Only between your own damn ears. She is smart enough to know the situation when she joined NW, and that is that Tuomas is the creative mastermidn behind the band, and does 99% of the songwriting, and she accepted that when she took the job, simple as that. If she really wanted to have full reign on songwriting, she would have simply said no, and continued on with ReVamp.
@@TerranigmaQuintet She is co-operating with another musician with Northward, her another band. I don't know but I would think she writes music for them.
@@Aurinkohirvi That album was mostly done back in 2008, they only finsihed it in her year off. o all the writing etc was done already.
No she isnt, they work together to produce great works of art
Salty troll !!!
William lane Craig defeats Richard Dawkins here - www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/popular-writings/existence-nature-of-god/dawkins-delusion/
Long a co.
Don not try to learn Finnish..Just sing!
Not sure from where Floor got that evolution has been scientifically proven. It is still very much a theory with a whole bunch of wholes in it, that probably will never get resolved. Honestly, it takes more faith to believe in the evolution theory than in a God who has created everything. Having said that, I do love the album very much though.
Oops, wholes of course must be holes. :-)

Magic is the easy answer. Agree on the album though.🇬🇧🤘🤘
Tarja is beautiful here!
***** yeah, she's gorgeous
Milodarka Cicmil This is not Tarja, this is Floor Jansen :D
Thayra G. Floor is from After Forever, silly!
You, Troll!! :D Hahaha
Upecah se bre
She doesnt believe in God.... huh ..... From a person who has died I can tell you that you will meet a being as soon as you die and you will be more alive than you have ever experienced.... Fact :)
Yeah nobody has a reason to believe you. Prove that you actually saw a being or God and that it wasn't just a malfunction of your brain dying. Then we'll talk. Don't just assert that you know you saw a being and then provide no evidence. Also no one has to even care of there's a god or believe in one or believe in yours in particular. The god of the Bible in particular is a worthless piece of shit that I'll gladly spit in his face. As for the other gods , I cannot say, I've never studied them.
Religion is for the weak of mind among us. Religions are human made to control masses, to enpower the few (often men). Profets are human males with an ego problem.

@@anne29030 Religion and spirituality are not necessarily the same. There's the problem right there. Ray doesn't talk about religion. He talks about a very personal experience. Often, there is great truth in our experiences. One that we shouldn't automatically dismiss. We don't have to "believe" it either. We can simply be open minded about it.
Great interview until she claimed a theory to be reality and then mentioned Richard Dawkins who is a hate monger... I honestly thought she was smarter than to fall for his agenda driven hate :(
Joey Amaranto How is Dawkins a hate monger? That's absurd. The theory of evolution is a scientific theory. A scientific theory meaning a theory that can be proven by science.
It's not the theory that he believes that's hate mongering. It's the hours upon hours of podcasts, interviews and written books where he spreads hate against Christianity, as if the two beliefs were at war. He is doing his utmost to alienate people of faith and turn Christianity into an evil empire that he must convince us to destroy.... How's this for an idea, let everyone believe what they want and stop spreading hate just to line your pockets with book sales.
Joey Amaranto
He is simply encouraging people to think rationally.
Joey Amaranto In most European countries secularism/ atheism/ agnosticism is the majority.
I'm pretty sure there was a point in history when the brightest minds in the world thought that our planet was flat. And only 70 or so years ago, everyone thought that the atom was the smallest thing in the world, until one of you opened it up to find all this crazy and even smaller shit. And you're gonna tell me you can't be wrong about evolution? Do you honestly believe you have several hundred million great grandparents, and that your first ones crawled out of the ocean? How does that NOT feel like a complete mockery of human intelligence?
