Video interview with singer Floor Jansen from the Finnish symphonic metalband Nightwish. FaceCulture spoke to Floor about the first time hearing Nightwish, supporting the band with After Forever, Anette Olzon, joining Nightwish on tour, her sister's wedding day, recovering from a burn-out, support from everyone, Ghost Love Score, making it work, gradually improving, coming of tour, becoming a permanent member, growing into her role, the future, studying Finnish, and a lot more! (30/01/2014)
This woman really amazes me with her emotional intelligence, clever answers and just with everything. This is how you join the band
I know its 2018 now but oh man ikr! If you pay attention closely, you can see that she's obviously moving to Finland, but avoids telling him with the clever answers. Not to mention, why else would she be learning the language? I'm also on acid, so maybe I'm just trippin. But yeah lol.
'I'm also on acid' \m/ \m/ I was nodding sagely reading your comment, having witnessed how band love really works (its a real thing), then pissed myself laughing at your acid comment... nah ya werent trippin with your perception of Floor but i hope you did the rest of the night! Never thought of Nightwish on acid.. cheers!
she is dutch from a perfect generation.
She handles the media so nicely and so professionally, always giving diplomatic yet insightful answers to tricky questions. She is showing that she will be a great representative for Nightwish. This woman is oozing so much charm and intelligence :)
Well..
Watching this, remembering Anette Olzon's interviews about her feeling bad because they were all Finnish and nobody spoke English. I really admire Floor trying to learn some Finnish in order not to stay out of the picture. Anette spoke about Nightwish as a "job", and I can see here that Floor is actually giving her best to fit in the position. She seems a wonderful and reponsible person :) + her singing is great
My respect for Floor in trying to learn Finnish. I've been a fan of hers since After Forever. I'm amazed that she's trying to learn the language. She knows it would help to solidify her connection with the band. That shows a lot of commitment. I really love Floor and I hope she is able to stay around for many years to come! :D What I love about her is that she put her personal stamp on Nightwish's songs without trying to emulate anyone else.

Agree 100% well said.
stupid point they all speak english, plug a lot of fins know some swedish!
I can't even stress enough how honoured I am to hear that Floor actually takes time to study our impossible language, although she doesn't even need to.
Oh yes. I've learned estonian, and that was already difficult. Most languages are a walk in the park compared to that.
I think Finnish is one of the best sounding languages, I'd still be a Nightwish fan even if all their songs were in Finnish
I'm German and studied Finnish for five years at university. It's a hard language especially for Indo-European language speakers like us Germans and the Dutch. But for Estonians, Hungarians, Turks, Japanese, Arabs and many more it's quite easy, because Finnish has an agglutinative structure like all these languages, whereas Indo-European languages are mostly flective-fusionating.
@@nebucamv5524 Maybe you might want to put some links to Wikipedia articles in your statement, because some parts of it might as well be in chinese. Echt jetzt. o_O
No one cares
Floor is exactly what we should all aspire to be, kind and warm, intelligent and passionate.
I am really happy to see THAT smile on her face everytime she speaks about Nightwish. Floor has been through a lot of stuff in her life, she is a true metalhead and she totally deserves to be on the top. Go Floor! :D
It’s like Nightwish and Floor were searching for each other but didn’t know it until they found each other. Now they are the perfect match and I hope they continue for many years. Truly awesome combination of artists.
Not only a great singer but also a very nice and friendly person. The best choice Nightwish could have made for a new front lady.
The more I see and hear Floor, the more I realize it's a gift from heaven. Not only the way she sings ( that is off the record) but the way she's sooo clever, so gentle, so humble and she's so willing to make it professional but full of passion and devotion at the same time. I think Nightwish is as good to Floor as she's for the band. The best line-up, the band is at it's highest right now, I really want the next album out!
You can tell she's not just a vocalist, but a whole musician by the way she talks of music and shows, and you can tell how deep into it she is. She's a blessing for Nightwish, finally they're back with new and well deserved glory days.
@3:50 watching her smile and her eyes light up when talking about the guys in Nightwish asking her to be a full time member. Fantastic. THANK YOU FLOOR for saying yes!
This woman is just perfect. Not only a superb singer but an incredible person and professional!
Nightwish, I really must say: Making her a full time member was the BEST CHOICE. I'm glad.
And this Ladies and Gentleman is a REAL Profesional and talented singer
+Circe Ibarra ... really? professionally trained and educated or just a metal band winging it? they ARE quite talented but sometimes talent and musical genius is self taught and merely developed... in that case its not professional, no white collar standard and scrutiny with the rubber stamp of approval from on high... i don't know their history as to education in the field of music... i tried looking her up as such
Yup!!!
She wants to learn the Finnish language ; that shows how involved she wants to be within the band and she really is a great singer.
Floor is not only the best singer, but also the cutest ...
And the prettiest! Ohh man 😍
So with great humility comes great power....what a gift to music this angel is.
I really like that she's putting in the effort to learn Finnish in order to fit in better. 3rd time's the charm, eh?
At this case I really, really hope so.
I love her voice and her attitude. This is a woman that can rise to any occasion put before her. I understand her burnout as well. I played 180 shows a year for seven years and it absolutely turned me against playing guitar for years after I stopped playing.
Love this girl! so humble and professional AND above all Talented no doubts!
She is absolutelly amazing, stunning, inspiring, humble person 💗💗💗
"I call them my brothers."
DAWWWW ~
Teddie Sage She's just so lovely in every aspect, her talking about the band as her family, her response "yeah of course oh wow" and the "pokerface", geez...I can just listen to her interview all day long.
+tuskinekinase Same here, love Floor
If i was her dad , i would be the proudest person on earth. Not for her beautiful voice, but for her inner beauty and her fantastic intellect. The world should be like her.she is1 in 8 billion.
She's so handsome, just as beautiful as her voice. Those long & strong legs, that tall stature yet those smooth moves, that alpha female stage aura, that long black hair, that voice that goes in all directions with such quality, those AWESOME interpretations of old material. It's everything about her that's amazing. Just looking at her in this interview I get a warm feeling in my face, my pupils enlarge and I start to stare at her telling eyes ;)
I feel the same thing, dude. She is living proof that perfection actually exists upon this Earth.
Floor is a goddess. She's an amazing singer and she's absolutely beautiful. Le sigh.
Floor seems to be so so so happy, in being with the band.
It is refreshing that someone so talented can come across so modest
These interviews never get old.
This woman can not put a foot wrong. She's fucking fantastic and I love the shit out of her.
She is a true role model. A very respectable, yet very 'human' human being.
Strikes me that the 2020 album is called Human#Nature.
Floor have a beautiful heart and soul! I love so much this woman. Her voice, sing, performance, femininity, presence, style... all of them!
I really hope Floor will singing for so many years for us (with or without Nightwish). Floor totally deserve every support, love, appreciation and respect.
I hope one day I meet with her and we can talk a little bit (and thank her for everything includes the After Forever/ReVamp era).
She is stunning
I like her. She is just so suited for Nightwish, Her looks, her attitude and most importantly her voice.
Very good interview. To the point questions and even better answers.
wow first time after a long time ,to enjoy a interwiev so much!!!!!! she looks gorgeous ,great choise Nightwish
Floor, you are wonderful! I like this girl more and more with every interview, she is so dedicated and talented.
her smileee, wow 😍
such a smart and cool woman. she's so comfortable with handling the media. plus her good spirit is contagious:)
She's amazing.
Lady... I don't know who lied to you that you are an artist or a singer... You a a freaking QUEEN!!! 🤘😎🤘
Wow how cute and wonderful she is! She is learning finnish now cause of the band/group/unity/family, wow Floor, u are amazing! All the best to you, from me and I guess I could say from all the Finnish metal fans. We love you, you are an amazing singer and amazing person. Thanks for the great interview!
what a classy amazing woman. and amazing talent. such an incredible person
I love you more Floor!!
So proud of Floor. Seems like an awesome lady and most definitely one of the best voices of our time. Keep it up!
What a woman ! ! ! Well rounded. I'm happy for her.
Floor is pure class.. ❤️
She's gorgeous, and of course, an awesome singer. :)
Floor is the only One from the 3 Singers Love to Sing for nightwish
i love you floor!!!!! *.*
2015, and now it's only March of 2014...still a long way to go =.=
she is very beautiful and damn she can sing
Floor Is just Incredible Stunning intelligent and an Amazing singer. if Heaven is missing an Angel here see is!
floor you are my night whish dream.love and respect.
And she's a very smart and intelligent woman that doesn't pull that Diva and arrogant style of attitude about having say so of what is done and how it's done. I'm the drummer in my band and sing a few of our songs cuz our setlists half covers and usually half hours. That said she's smart in the regard that it's a lesson that coke didn't learn when they changed their formula, when it was already the best. Simple philosophy, if it ain't broke , don't fix it. So that aspect of this interview she is a smart woman... A most engelic beautiful woman, with her little Xena Princess Warrior outfit at wacken 2013 oh, and the most perfect set and show I've ever seen that I didn't want to take my eyes off of her but that little black leather Cape she had was awesome. But flawless... Unlike any other. Stage presence Beauty and Perfect Pitch every song and live in front of 90,000 people and she wasn't even a permanent member yet. Remember Olsen screwed the whole machine up oh, and thanks by the way for that, or we never would have gotten the lovely floor Jansen with a far superior vocal style and sound then either of their other two singers. Taja and Annette, both of them... One-dimensional and mediocre-at-best. Tarja... Strictly an opera sounding vocal Style only! Annette well, I picture a pop singer if I had not seen her. Like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera top 40 shit. but floor is a whole nother animal. she could go low she could go high she can grout she has the rasp and can belt it out with the best of them with Pat Benatar or Ann Wilson of heart with the heavy Rock sound and rasp, or power clarity and Grace of Celine Dion and vibrato Style, or she could pull off classical and... Even though she said that she doesn't really like the style, not only could do it but improve tharja's old style Opera because it's to throaty & and falsetta sounding... Hence, one-dimensional, and only because those songs were written around tarja. long story short though it's like a totally new band super improved and with floor is lights listening to them for the first time, the new and improved Nightwish! And that my friends, is why without a festival backing, still sell out 30,000 seat arenas... For 2 night engagements, and without supporting bands if they wanted, because of floor Jansen.
Floor fits well she does the band justice and the band does her justice
Floor on ihana!
Absolutely Love Floor:) Great interview,not pushy and personnel in a good way, and just good face time.
You are SO welcome to finnish speaking family. KIITOS!
Che tipa, che pantera, grande cantante, bellissima voce
I absolutely fell in love with with y’all and yes you are my favorite. I love the other singers but you send me somewhere else most beautiful voice I’ve heard in decades
Wacken 2013 was really an amazing nightwish experience.
English is a ridiculous and needlessly complex language as well, and she has mastered it. I swear she speaks it better than I do as a native speaker. I suspect she’ll pick up the Finnish language with little struggle. She’s great.
She is great
She seems so amazing and so down to earth. I can't wait to see her live.
I'm glad she told us more about Anette as with the guys it's hard to know the full story. I'm so disappointed that Anette did that to the guys, there is no shame in getting pregnant but when it puts people's careers and the fans tour date tickets on hold that is disrespectful.
Lets hope the new album is good and that she doesn't let them down.
"we were playing very well" at Wacken Open Air..... That's one hell of an understatement Floor. That performance was legendary,, and will never be forgotten.
I think NW hit the jackpot by hiring her, i also think floor couldn't have find a better band to perform in. The Fun is just beaming of the stage and those feelings are transformed to the public making the band as a whole better as well.
I think this interview showed me how nice and funny Floor actually is. I've never payed much attention to her persona, only her singing, which is good in my opinion. But now I'm very interested in seeing how she'll do with NW (and I love the fact that she's learning finnish! I want to learn in, too :3)
I want to read the lyrics of for example Kuolelma Tekee Taiteilijan (I think I´ll learn to spell it soon) without using Google Translate, and of course, They speak it in Nightwish.

she is so pro.
Fantastic interview:)
Floor, you are my Goddess !
Floor is TOPS! xoxxooxo
Thank you Floor, thank you FaceCulture!
It's not a difficult language. She is right, to learn a language you need to live with community that uses the language. When you do, any language can be adobted, with not much difference. If it is a very close relative language like Dutch and English, that does make it easier, but "a difficult language" is just a different language. Hope she did well and it is useful to her.
I really hope they tour in the U.S!
Don't worry, they will
I cant wait...they seem to always come to Portland
I am so enamored with this woman. Glad I'll get to see her on tour with ReVamp soon.
Omg she is amazing personality.
At least he pronouncer Tuomas really well!
Damn is she beautiful...!!
It being now the official singer is quite a feat and having to learn Finnish, even more!
I thought I was the only Dutch person who studied Finnish :-P
Allard88 Not a bad company, huh? ;)
Je bent ook niet goed bij je hoofd als je uit vrije wil die taal wilt leren. Ik werd al gek van de 4 naamvallen in het Duits, laat staan de 7 in het Latijn, maar jeeee...., die Finnen maken het wel heel erg bont!
Maar mijn bewondering voor je is groot!
Nu 6 jaar verder..., is het gelukt? Ik had begrepen dat Floor op een gegeven moment is afgehaakt.
Wish they would tour in the USA. 🤞🏻🙏💪🏼
goddess/amazing female singer ever /absolutely beautiful
Sound it: In English - I love you.
In French - je t'aime
In spanish -
te quiero
in german - ich liebe dich
In swedish - jag alskar dig
All very soft, but in finish! MINA RAKASTAAN SINUA or (Minä Rakastan Sinua) I'm gonna to strangle you...sound
Finnish is hilarious, if you say on the shelf at night, is like hylalla illalla.
I'm one of them in my blood, but was born in sweden and my 2 language father dude never taught me finnish, He could speak swedish and finnish. I curse him to this day.
ooooh, I wanna go there (Finland)...I would love to figure out that language. I have friends there.
Floor Is a Goddess. I love tall, sexy and talented women....What a power, what a voice....
The dude interviewing her sounds a little too bored, I think. Come on man, it's Floor Jansen, vocalist of the best symphonic metal band in the world!
saying kitos and counting to 3 is what I can do in finish :P
And also to 6 :P
That's good start. :) Next word are KEPPANA and KOSSUVISSY ! And PERRRKELE,naturaly... :)
Hoi Floor, kun je ook nog Nederlands? Ik denk het wel hoor :)
she reminds me of deb from dexter
+Michael Bryan yeah, me too...
... being a bit of a dutchy myself and a yank i virtually ALWAYS pick out a dutch accent from ALL who speak dutch as their first native lingo... her's is VERY slight, quite rare english mistakes... i'm guessing this is a function of being a vocalist and singing - mastery of your own language and others... if she stays away from euro words and such she could fit in as american, fooling us all ;)... she said base twice, instead of basis... that was cute ;)
good girl ;)
I hope they are trying to do something like a " back to the rutes" Album and don't over do it like the last two. they are going bigger and bigger und lose a bit of how it all started....anyway... it will be super no matter what they do :)
I'm actually quite scared since they asked her to become a permanent member without testing her studio chemistry. I'm REALLY hoping this will turn out well.
Just curious after so many years, "did it turned out well for you?"
wait is she gone oh neverm ind 2 eafrly comment lolz
best for NIghtwish , I admit Nightwish really turned me away with the new pop singer ....... but now , ohhh boy just saw a concert with Floor and it was pure joy
Baby, no one's taking it that you're being arrogant when you say you were playing good as a band. That is something you will never have to worry about, because it's just simple facts... Nightwish and the guys, struck the mother lode by obtaining the most gorgeous Dutch goddess that you can get. If you don't sing for Nightwish they're done. Because, simple fact is anyone else other than you is downhill and can only go worse after floor Jansen. Because you can't get any higher on the scale for Showmanship, Beauty, for vocals, range, excetera excetera. Floor Jansen oh, there is... No substitute! And to tell you the truth, best musicians you could ask for. Songwriting, tuomas... A genius. But not for what you might think, song writing in the music no no no no... For obtaining floor Jansen. And ever since floor, that's why I listen to Nightwish. I did not like them with a monotone falsetto style Opera, or the other end of the spectrum like Minnie Mouse with Annette Olsen sounding like more of a pop singer like Britney Spears Christina Aguilera type. But floor Jansen, she is literally arrange list goddess with Platinum vocal cords, she's rangeless, mean she can go from one end of the spectrum to the other flawlessly. Sure, tarja and Annette are great singers... Just not in Nightwish. Floor Jansen there's not a genre she can't master nor any that she already doesn't. Floor Jansen slotted in perfect 4 Nightwish anyone other as their singer... Simply will not do sir! That's a motherfuking facto
Well i don't want to spoil you'r party,BUT also Anette promise's to learn Finish...but she newer did... :O
Annette has such an amazing voice. who cares as long that she does sing in English...
1000th like!
❤
4:13 "Poker Face!"
Floor 》》》 anyone else singing rock music
