As people say - " Most singers sing what they can - Floor sings what she wants "
Floor is one of the best we have and will go down up there with Ann Wilson as one of the GOATs. I'm not crazy about this cover, though. Floor sings it great no doubt, but it works better as a rock ballad than a piano torch song. I don't think Ann's original would have been as huge as it was without the drop and power chords in the chorus. That explosion is what made people take notice of the song when it was first released-- it's the first thing anyone remembers about the song, the huge drums and bombast. I think the best ballads are the ones like this that come from hard rock bands, so when you strip the rock part away it's way too Celine Dion-ish (also a great singer technically, but Floor and Wilson both run laps around her because they are rock singers first and foremost and have superior phrasing.
Im not a musician, but this is what I have come to think when trying to understand what is so special in Floors voice. Often people just mention "range" - but range is just an ability to hit notes no matter the quality or tone one is able to do it. There are a ton of singers with 4-5 octave ranges and many beyond that, but they sound very breathy and weak whistles at the extremes and dont have the dynamic ability to change the color or tone of their voice. Floor on the other hand can seemingly combine any tone to any note and yet add color with vocal effects. There is warmth and depth in her voice no matter what part of her range she is using. Dont know if its practice or natural talent - or even just something her sheer size enables as deeper warmer resonanse mixed in her high notes.
In short, just goosebumps!!!
Her voice is her instrument, I say that because in my 57 years of being a 'music freak' I was only really interested in instrumentalists. When a top guitarist plays a solo for example, he is not just hitting the notes in the right places, but rather painting a picture of what he feels, and creating a sonic image of the emotion of the piece. That is exactly what Floor (and other singers) of her professionalism and quality do, I have found (at last) a singer who delivers ALL the qualities of being a musician.
And she emotes great feelings an emotions. I feel her singing so much more than other singer. Very few connect like that.
I would say that its not the range. While yes here range is quite wide. There is singers that does as wide of a range.
I would say the diffrance is that she have multiple set of "voices" in the same range. And she can swich between them effort less.
En some songs she does multiple vocies in the same range, almost like a duet.
Say if a female and a male vocalist do the same octave, they still sounds different. But floor can do the same octave, in 5 different ways.. if not more. There is ways to moderate the voice so its sounds higher or lower than the octave its actually in. Floor does that a lot. (not so much in this specific song)
Floor is like a gutar player with the perfect tone all the time
Sorry, but Ann Wilson did not write this song. It was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and originally performed by their band i-TEN.
Correct👍
You would think Heart's stage manager would know that, wouldn't you? I was surprised
@@NickBR57Yep. One would think so.
i-Ten even performed on the studio recording of "Alone" on Heart's "Bad Animals" album.
@@NickBR57indeed. I was quite surprised. Strange.
overall good reaction but that sure was puzzling
She has one of the most powrrful Phenomenal voices I've ever heard
Agreed. In fact the only female rock voice that is as good (in my opinion) is Ann Wilson. In her prime Ann was unbeatable, and for however old she is now she's still pretty incredible. The biggest difference between the two is that Ann's voice is a little more distinctive. Both are incredible singers.
Floor one of the best LIVE singers today.
I totally agree. She's the only current singer who comes close to Ann Wilson in her prime. There are other good singers out there but Floor has intangibles that set her apart from everyone else.
What a warm voice, full of timbres. And then ... strength!
The piano playing is top notch also.
Have not heard this one, thanks Joel!
And she was sitting down!
Night wish army has know about Floor for years. She is a true singer who knows what the lyrics mean and pours soul and emotion into everything she sings. She is definitely a flower and one of my favorite singers. She can sing anything!!!!
Her cover of this song with Nightwish that was plugged in is so much better than this one IMO. Floor is great but this version has all the rock parts stripped out.
My favourite female metal singer is Asami from LOVEBITES, but I won't hesitate to say that (in my opinion) Floor is the best female metal singer I've ever heard. I simply don't know of another who can match her control, range and power. So, if anyone knows someone they think is as good (or better?) than Floor, feel free to educate me.
EDUCATE YOU? I HAVE TRIED TO EDUCATE YOU EVERY TIME YOU ATTACK MY FREE SPEECH. YOU REFUSE TO RESEARCH "COLLOQUIAL ALL CAPS". YOU ARE STARTING TO SOUND LIKE A TOTALITARIAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER THAT IS DRUNK ON "POWER" AND CAN NOT STAND ADULTS THAT HAVE THEIR OWN BELIEFS ABOUT HOW THEIR CHILDREN SHOULDN'T BE FORCE FED INAPROPRIATE DRIVEL. SPARE ME THE DRIVE BY INSULTS. BY THE WAY, "TEACHER LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE" 🤣🤣🤣
Lovebites ❤
Floor is the best in my book for sure.
If you would ask Floor, my guess would be she would say Anneke van Giersbergen
Ann Wilson was hard rock vs. metal but she's the only one I've ever heard that matches Floor. "Barracuda" is probably Heart's biggest hit but they've got probably 30 songs you've heard but didn't realize was them. There is a live cover of "Unchained Melody" by Ann and Heart from their prime back in the 80s that is one of the most incredible vocal performances I've heard live, male or female. Heart was closer to Led Zeppelin type heavy/acoustic hard rock than metal, but they've had several songs that crossed the metal barrier and she just tears into them. As good as Floor is on this performance I don't think anyone can touch Ann's studio version with Heart.
This is probably my favorite of Floor's covid-time home videos. She's done this song a couple of times before, but this version is the most mature of them. The grand piano is provided by her long time friend and collaborator SIR Joost van den Broek (After Forever, Ayreon). ⛄👍
The first time that she sang it, that I am aware of, was at a record release show for her first band, After Forever. Just like this version, it was accompanied only on piano, and also by Joost van der Broek, her bandmate in After Forever.
@@robertkennedy5414 Somewhere Floor did a plugged in cover of this, I believe it was with Nightwish. I think it's a lot better than this, I'm just not a fan of this song unplugged. Heart sings it unplugged a lot too and it would send me to the beer line. To me it doesn't have the same impact unplugged.
Floor "The Unstopable" Jansen is a Force of Nature !!!
NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
Floor is putting so much heart in every song.
No pun on "Heart" lol
Great team !! Rocko / Floor on a rocking chair / Joel / Sir Joost van der Broek on the piano and Hannes ( husband to Floor and drummer in Sabaton) Good reaction . Greetings from nwAse Sweden
I concur
Loved it Joel. Rocko knows what he is talking about. His commentary was beautiful. Rock was so attentive and sincerely interested in the performance. All the best to Mr. Reedy.
If he toured with Heart in their prime then he toured with the best female hard rock singer that has ever walked the earth. Praise from him is high praise indeed.
It's so true. Floor takes a song, and makes it her own. She does this to every song she borrows from someone else to sing. Also agree, Floor's voice being like a violin, with all the right measures of interpretation put into the vibrato. She's a Stradivarius, wonder woman.
9:40 Anne Wilson did not wrote the Song - her version is also only a cover.
the band i - ten
@@fredverkerk838 I didn't know about them until about 2 years ago Until I listened to Floors version, I thought it was an Ann song
Correct. Everyone thinks Heart's song is the original because it's the definitive version -- no one had ever heard the original i-Ten version until after Heart made a hit out of it. In fact that i-Ten album was long out of print but actually went back in print for awhile after Heart made the song popular. Their version is actually really good and has slightly different lyrics.
I've got tears to my eyes ❤ Thank You Mr.Joel for Keep Introducing NW & FLOOR To People 💥🙏💖
Hey, Joel. Thank you for bringing back such a great guest. Rocko was fabulous again. Seems like a really cool dude. What can I say about our beloved, Floor? So much emotion in everything she does. Gorgeous cover of an amazing song.
Make Rocko a monthly guest! (when he isnt busy) he's awesome :D
I loved seeing Rocko sit there, taking it all in and with a clearly visible "wow" on his face.
If anyone knows this track inside and out, and how it ought to be sung, it has to be Rocko (other than the members of Heart and ofc Ann).
Awesome, just awesome how he pinpoints the nuances of Floor doing this song, compared to Ann.
Loved this song all those years ago, still do, Anne has an amazing voice but Floor is just something else entirely! Joel you should show him the 'how's the heart' at Planet Rock, that is an amazing recording.
In her prime Ann matches and surpasses Floor, and that's not a dis' to Floor because I can't think of any heavy rock singers that come close to Ann. Technically her voice had incredible power, but it was more than just that. Ann's phrasing and unique sound were one of a kind. The ad-libbed scream Ann does in this song which Floor emulates is a great example what makes Ann so great. At 73 Ann just had a #1 Active Rock hit duet with Disturbed, and Floor is the only current singer I can picture still being able to pull off something like that at an advanced age. Floor is incredible, I think she's her generation's Ann.
Wow!!! Amazing version of an amazing voice from the Netherlands!
Others may have already said this, this was recorded during lockdown with her husband. Btw love your reaction ❤
Hey guys, greetings from UK
This was a fantastic reaction, thank you 😉
The 🐐 stunned him!
Talking about great female metal singers, Joel - you definately need to hear this amazing
Power Metal goodness from the band
"Battle Beast - Black Ninja"
(official music video). It is high quality, masterfully crafted Power Metal with powerful riffing, great soloing, and Noora's absolutely amazing vocals.
The song has everything: atmosphere, tension, aggression and a superb, faultless vocal delivery. I wonder if you've ever heard such a wide ranging vocal style. This band belongs on top of the power metal mountain.
I second that
You should listen to Floor singing Que Se Siente 🤘
That last note, I mean holy shit it just hits you like a truck.
The background music (piano) is from her first band After Forever. She sang this song on one of their albums and Ann acknowledge her effort. The pianist is Joost van den Broek also a member of After Forever.
Singing while sitting down, at home.
actually, in her barn's hayloft; she did make it into her home studio.....
So beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Half of the time I thought the screen with Rocko was frozen as he didn't move or shut his mouth😀
Aamazing.
your boy Rocky did not blink for most of the song. He was into it.
Brings chills and tears… Floor’s version is fantastic.
So great everytime
Floor is a vocal coach and has classic training. Not an opera singer though. But, as close as you can get and not being one.
that said, she has done some opera.
still find Floor's cover of shallow from Best Singers one of her finest moments she absolutely owns the song.....
Um, no. Ann did not write this song. It was composed/written by Tom Kelly/Billy Steinberg who first recorded it in the group i-Ten album Taking a Cold Look (released 1983). When Heart was looking for new songs for the 80's crowd, The i-Ten version of the song was modified slightly by Kelly/Steinberg to reflect a female singer. Heart released the song in 1987.
Love Floor!
That is Floors verision of Ghost love Score, whatch her own reaction, when she tells you about it❤
I like this version. Floor, as always did a phenomenal job but It took me back a little because I was used to hearing two voices sing it.
A little correction: Ann Wilson did not write this song, because the Heart version, was also cover of a song of the band: I-Ten. ("Alone" is a song composed by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, who recorded it under the name i-Ten on their 1983 album Taking a Cold Look.) So in fact this is a cover of a cover... Heart did initially even refuse to record it. But the record company did push them to record it anyway.
As much as I think Floor is the best rock metal singer I have heard. This song is Ann's, she does it better, as it should be. Ann is great, a legend and rightfully so. Overall Floor is a better overall. Love them both, and we are lucky to both of them. Two great performers
Life is not a competition. This is a good song and it can be sung differently.
Ann´s version is the most radio friendly though. Both Tommy´s and Floor´s versions have too much dynamics for a simple radio.
Ann sings it better?? Floor sitting in a rocking chair with just a piano for goodness sake 😊😂
5:50 they guy on the left sits so still that i thought the frame had frozen
Anne Wilson didn't write it. It was a cover by Heart of a song originally written and performed by a band called i-Ten. Although of course Heart's is the well known version.
🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done
I think he just had his first 'Floorgasm'.
Floor is something Elise. Dutch fan❤
You should have told him - Ann has heard it.
Floor is up there with Ann Wilson as one of the best female hard rock singers in history. She does a great job with this track but I don't think anyone will ever be able to top Ann Wilson's studio original. For one thing she originated the wail/scream that Floor emulates, and try as she might Floor can't emulate the longing in Ann's original vocals. Also, this song is a great rock ballad but I'm not as fond of it as a ballad-ballad like Floor makes it. Part of what made the original great is that drop where it goes from subdued to hard in one beat; that is what hooked everyone when the Heart version was first released, and without that it's still ok but it's less interesting (in my opinion of course). I love Floor, but I just think some songs are impossible to top.
🤩👍💥💯🎼
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Ann has heard Floor singing this song but not this version
Great guest !! His dentist now knows what to do next time he has to open his mouth. Put on Floor in the background……..
Ann is amazing but no one, no one can touch Floor and her training. She's literally the best female vocalist in the world right now.
PLEASE REACT TO "UNLUCKY MORPHEOUS - UNKNOWN CHILD" AND BTW, WATCH " THE LAST RONIN" (NOT A SWORD MOVIE)
if he is so impressed with floor... did he ever dig into dimash? :D
As much as I love Floor❤ and EVERYTHING she sings 🎙️ is gold ,this is my least favourite song from her. Nobody and I mean NOBODY sings it like Ann Wilson. The richness and texture of Ann’s voice and the WAY she sings it, is really unmatched. One of the best Rock n Roll singers of all time. This is my opinion.
He needs to listen to anything by Diana Ankudinova or My String by Alisa Supronova, he would appreciate the vocal techniques more than most. On My String (the original done in front of a white wall with a grainy video) Alisa moduluates her vibrato on a 20 second note, twice.
I like this version, and Floor is a technically flawless singer but I will admit to preferring Ann Wilson's voice and tone in the original. It's damn close to a timeless classic though.
Floor sings those low notes like a soprano does which doesn't sound very good. Needs more balance to her voice. Why do you think we invented equalizers for? Too much treble can be annoying.Other than that it was ok.
She is a great vocalist,no doubt but this time i listened and had 0 emotions.This is one of the songs that i never ever wanted to listen twice.
What I love about this is they both know to STFU and LISTEN - then you can do your reaction.....That is a reaction video.
Hannes makes a better drummer than camera operator. 😆
Nice try but no ann wilson
