It was love at first sight with this beautiful song! I didn’t know Samantha nor her music but got impressed straight away of her voice. It was an honor to sing this song to her, with a nice rock sauce 🤘🏻 #BesteZangers Het was liefde op het eerste gezicht met dit prachtige nummer! Ik kende Samantha en haar muziek niet maar was meteen onder de indruk van haar stem. Het was een eer het voor haar te mogen zingen met een lekker rocksausje 🤘🏻
Floor said in an interview that she doesn't focus on technique at all anymore. She focuses on the meaning & emotion & just opens her mouth & lets it come out. (I'm paraphrazing.)
FLOOR: Thank You so much!❤ I lost my mother 2,5 years ago, for lung cancer, and this did go really deep into my emotions! I knew, what's the song about, but translate from Desise Hofs, opened this ofcourse more! Made me cry so much! Music has so much power! Love You Guy's! ❤💖💗
This is the reason I love Floor. I've got no idea what she's saying but the emotion and the message of the song is still so clear to me. She is unbelievably talented and deserves every praise she's been given.
@@udoabel The great thing is, Samantha will be singing "Our Decades In the Sun" right back to Floor a couple of weeks from now. Singing a song about love for family
songtext in english Mama, can I talk to you for a moment, because life doesn't bother me for a while I have everything that is dear to me, but I no longer feel love I really need you now, it hurts me too much Mama, tell me how to live Tell me how you do that I'm just missing it Ohhh, mama, why don't I look like you The strongest example From a mother and a woman Mama, where did I lose myself? At this table you taught me everything Can't eat, can't talk, can't dance, can't sleep, can't smile, can't resist To drown in my tears, ohhh Mama, tell me how to live Tell me how you do that I'm just missing it Ohhh, mama, why don't I look like you The strongest example From a mother and a woman Ohhh, mama, tell me how to live Tell me how you do that I'm really missing it now Ohhh, mama, why don't I look like you The strongest example From a mother and a woman
I think we talk too much about technical things, vocal ranges and stuff like that. Those are definitely part of the Floor-magic, but it is much more. A nice voice and perfect singing would not be enough to regularly make people cry. Her presence, charisma, enjoy in music, smile, her performance is fascinating. In minutes, or seconds, a humble, nice, quiet woman suddenly turns into a goddess-like person and you simply cannot resist the moment, knowing this experience is very special and meaningful. Then she levaes the stage and becomes again the humble, quiet Floor. And you, you want to experience that moment again and again.
English lyrics : Mama (original Samantha Steenwijk) Mama, can I talk to you for a moment? Because life is not going well for me I have everything that's dear to me , but I don't feel love anymore I really need you now it's hurting me too much Mama, tell me how i should live Please tell me how you do that I lost it for a moment Oooh oh mama, why am i not like you? The strongest example of a mother and a woman Mama, where did i lose myself? At this table you have taught me everything Can't eat, can't talk, can't dance, can't sleep can't smile, can't resist to be drowning in my tears Oh ohohoh, mama tell me how i should live Please tell me how you do that I lost it for a moment Oh ooh, mama Why am i not like you? The strongest example of a mother and a woman Oh ohohoh, mama tell me how i should live Tell me how you do that I really lost it now Oh ooh, mama Why am i not like you?

@@tomcatter4027 Welcome! She said it was easy to choose this song for samantha, because they both have a strong connection with their mom. It is an original by samantha steenwijk. . .
She is a gorgeous singer…there are not many like her in the world! As soon as she sings, I am literally obsessed with Floor Jansen, with her voice, with the story she tells while singing…Gorgeous and extraordinary!
That's because she wants to reach a boarder audience than just singing in Dutch. There are many great Dutch singers already out there. So Floor mostly sings in English to reach a greater crowds
@@CavemanJesus4Life nope, she wanted to do Metal. Metal isn't exactly mainstream in the Netherlands, and Metal with Dutch lyrics? Well I know one band from longtime ago (kutschurft) but ,... well some things are needless to say.
@@anne29030 Hoe kon ik die nu vergeten, dom dom dom en schaam mij diep! KOBUS ken ik ook nog maar dat is dan in het Afrikaans en lijkt veel op Nederlands.
As a Dutchie, feeling every emotion in the words... it is seriously shocking how unearthly talented Floor is. Once again an amazing performance... Floor, we need people like you to make this world just a little more beautiful with your stunning voice... Thanks, bedankt, tack sa mycket...
Had het op de achtergrond, toen ik deze stem hoorde harder gezet. Later las ik dat ze de zangeres is van vroeger After Forever en nu Nightwish. Mijn zus draaide altijd deze muziek, echt super. Wat een stem! En super mooie dame. Limburg :) !!! Niemand hoor je nu zeuren om de zachte G. Hehe.
So powerful, so strong and so fantastic performance! Floor, are you sure that you were born on the Planet Earth? I think you were sent to us as a priceless gift…
The vocal styles she showcased in 20 seconds alone (from 1:15 to 1:35) is insane. Soft/light, raspy, growling and belting! And only scratching the surface of what she is capable of...
Sharon is another amazing Symphonic Metal Singer, she has a great interpretive ability and that helps her to sing other musical styles (they are the best) however (imo) Floor not only does it better but also when she changes the style she completely transforms including power, spectrum and vocal resources, and that's how she can sing songs like powerful “Ghost Loves Score", a whole Hard Rock album as if it were his specialty (Northward) or this beautiful ballad of Mama
So pure so untouched your voice is your song with Night Wish, floor Jansen,you are my admirable for the next generation who understands our history . Salute MAM
I mean, as they said in the first episode, while she's relatively unknown in the netherlands, Floor is the Nightwish army's darling (outside of the diehard tarja guys), and pretty much one of the most beloved female metal singers out there (alongside Simone Simons & Sharon Den Adel for the obvious ones) Samantha is the opposite, while she's relatively known in the netherlands, she plays a very niche genre that's very popular there but not really... "easily exportable" let's say. The original is amazing in its own right But yeah... Floorgasm.
@@Shaltinanwenor And the odd thing it's after Floor(the one unknown in the group) did this cover, it give a huge push up for Samantha. That's the Floor effect.
@@The_Pony Yeah, Samantha, Tim, and Henk are my favourite of the lineup (alongside Floor obviously), with Emma not being that far behind. Rolf's genre is one that I don't really enjoy, so I can't really judge ; he does look good at it, though.
A little preview of the full translated episode, here are the English lyrics: Mother, can I talk to you for a moment, because life isn't treating me well at the moment I have everything that is dear to me, but I no longer feel love I really need you now, it hurts me too much Mother, tell me how to live Tell me how you do it I'm currently a bit lost Ohhh, mama, why am I not like you The most perfect example Of a mother and a woman Mama, where did I lose myself?

Floor is naast een fantastische zangeres ook een zeer fijne persoonlijkheid. Ik woon zelf in Beegden, en kwam haar wel eens tegen als ik met de honden ging wandelen. Dan liet Floor de honden van haar ouders in Beegden uit. Zij is een erg leuke lieve en intelligente vrouw. En ik ben best trots dat een plaatsgenoot zo ver is gekomen in de internationale muziekindustrie en er zo gewoon zichzelf onder is gebleven!
Ok let's see, the plan for last saturday evening, this evening and the next saturday-evenings was/is/will be: - Grabbing a cold beer - Plug in the good earphones - Working so hard on the Refresh-Button that the girlfriend comes upstairs and asks what the hell I am doing - Being in total awe because of a great performance (yes, with Floor singing you can actually plan that!) And well, all points of this list were (again) fullfilled. Man seriously, is there something this woman can't sing? I mean, I understood perhaps 5% of this song and I burst into tears. I'll bet she would even nail a Klingon opera.
Floor has got one of those voices that could have been successful 25, 50, even 75 years ago. Reminds me of the great singer/entertainers of old. What an amazing voice and presence she has! I also love how open and vulnerable she is with her singing.
If I was a artist I would be thinking:' Well here comes Floor to sing my song better than me'.. Just let Floor do a concert and declare her the winner. I really believe she's the best all around vocalist I've ever heard. I do wonder how she would do with American country music just out of morbid curiosity..
indeed she is very well known and respected in the netherland among metalheads and in the dutch town dordrecht she is world famous and we adore floor (and miss her performences) and we maybe allready did before everyone else did
ben 66 jaar en afgelopen uitzendingen gezien beste zangers.Mijn god wat een vrouw en talent. Ben nog stil van haar capaciteiten.Is gewoon een wereld wonder. xxxxxx
Dit seizoen is echte de allerbeste van alle seizoenen! Rolf sanche en Emma heesters die doorbraken, Henk poort van stal gehaald, Ruben, Tim en samantha ook heel goed. Floor was voor mij de echte topper, niet normaal zo goed en Henk poort ook super en de anderen waren ook echt goed.
I'm beyond surprise when it comes to what this woman can do. Only thing that could surprise me is if she actually failed at something, but i haven't heard her come even close yet. And its not just that she vocally can do anything, it's also the way she seems to grasp the spirit of what she's singing never mind the genre. That's the mark of a true artist.
I believe she has that kind of talent that even if she "fails", she's that quick that I believe she covers that so well no one even notices and is just totally amazed by whatever she covered it up with. Or if it's a risque style choice, her confident stance makes everything justified and magnificent 😂
Since hearing Floor do this song, I have not been able to go a day without listening to it at least once a day. I don't understand what she is singing but the song is so beautiful and Floor does it incredibly.
Don't talk about the voice (her extremely gifted voice is well known for all of us) and let's focus on the stunning interpretation!!! Doesn't matter if it's Dutch, German, English or ancient Latin... even Martian. You are able to feel this song (and many others from nightwish) based on her attitude, facial and body expressions, and the vocal variations she use. Magnificent!!!!
all fans of floor never realized till now how massive her abilities are and hell the sheer scope of what she can perform --- we all knew she was special as a person and singer -- god I hope she can truly do more of everything not just metal -- I will be waiting with bated breath
That woman is a goddess... I've been learning the Dutch language because of her. Well, Heidevolk has helped a little with that desire as well. But, Floor got the ball rolling.
She absolutely deserves it; her voice is sublime; versatile.... Dare I say it... Perfect? I regards to Nightwish I never got into the Tarja vs Annette thing; both were good in different ways, and I still maintain that, but Floor Jansen I will say is the best of the three. She's incredible.
Damn it, Floor !! Great how you brought "Mama" 😮😥 I've been following you for a while and I'm very proud of how you perform with Nightwish. As a former musician from the former Tilburg music scene with Henny Vrienten and others, I am very interested in how our "descendants" are doing in the music world. But what you perform as a somewhat shy girl with Nightwish borders on the incredible. Such a shame that you are not that known with Nightwish in NL. Hopefully your performance at "De Beste Zangers" will change that, because what you show there (in all your modesty) is great class !! What a surprise too, your performance of Franz Léhar's Vilja Song 😮 I am curious what else you have in store for us, I will be glued to the screen ... !! Verdomme, Floor !! Geweldig hoe je "Mama" bracht 😮😥 Ik volg je al een tijdje en ik ben enorm trots hoe je met Nightwish presteert. Als oud-muzikant uit de vroegere Tilburgse muziek-scene met oa Henny Vrienten ben ik erg geïnteresseerd hoe onze "nazaten" het doen in de muziekwereld. Maar wat jij als toch ietwat verlegen meisje presteert met Nightwish grenst aan het ongelofelijke. Zo jammer dat jij met Nightwish in NL nog niet zo bekend bent. Hopelijk brengt jouw performance bij "De Beste Zangers" daar verandering in, want wat je daar (in al je bescheidenheid) laat horen is grote klasse !! Wat een verrassing ook, jouw uitvoering van Franz Léhar's Vilja-Lied 😮 Ik ben benieuwd wat je nog meer voor ons in petto hebt, ik zal aan het scherm gekluisterd zijn ... !!
Floor Jansen begeistert mich immer mehr. Ob bei Nightwish, oder classisch. Sie scheint eine tolle Frau zu sein. Eine sehr gute Sängerin und ein absolut sympathischer Mensch. Weiter so.
Esto va dedicado a todas esas personas que desprecian el heavy metal sin haber escuchado una sola nota con sus repugnantes prejuicios y que se creen que son unos melenudos con cabellera grasienta pegando gritos a diestro y siniestro, que bueno, si que los hay, gracias y mil veces gracias por callar la boca a esos ignorantes con tu talento y tú maravillosa voz, siempre acabo llorando cuando te escucho cantar y se me estremece el alma y el corazón, no puedo evitarlo, gracias por existir, muchísimas gracias, entro en un universo paralelo donde olvidó mis problemas y todo son historias con final feliz cuando te oigo cantar. Un abrazo.
Floor is singing the typical Dutch "levens lied" (life song), it sounds so much better with all that feeling you put in it, Samanta was blown away with your performance (just the like the rest of the world). You stay always that humble, while you are the best singer we have ever had in Holland. Keep close to youself, you are a beautifull woman in many ways. Thank you
thank you, Netherlands, for recognizing that Floor is amazing, she deserves to get some attention from the Dutchies! (like some others of you deserve international attention! I am also LOVING Samantha's work now since watching Beste Zangers because my favorite singer was on it) thank you, Beste Zangers, for introducing her many millions of international fans to other amazing Dutch artists, whom we might not have otherwise known about if not for Floor being on the show. please, please, please start subtitling the episodes for us. there are fans who really want to watch the whole episodes, so we can get to know the other singers as well. with Love from America!
www.npostart.nl/beste-zangers/AT_2033328 You can watch the full episodes here. Not subtitled, but you can at least listen to the other singers as well.
@HIFK forever awwwe thank you!!!I'm trying to get them to do more (less reacted to) lyrically interesting songs by nightwish. I was starting to think, after all the unhappy viewers, I was doing it wrong, so to see this makes me feel like I have done better than I otherwise figured 🥰 thank you!!
Floor is really such incredibly amazing singer, not only because of her versatility singing tallent but her stage presence and the way she interpret every song to delivered the emotions of the song is amazing, you just can feels it whatever languages that is.
Allemachtig zeg wat had ik een kippenvel toen je dit schitterende nummer van Samantha zong !!! Je deed me denken aan mijn eigen liefste mama die der helaas sinds 2 jaar niet meer is ... Thanks Floor !!!!!
Funny thing they all want for Floor to be known at her home country yet thanks to her all of them will be known around the world....Samantha seems to be not only a great singer but an amazing writer as well
Happy Mother's Day everyone!
please visit our country, south korea..please
Happy Mother's Day to you too :)
SOOO HAPPY 4 YOU AND YOUR NEWFOUND MOTHERHOOD FLOOOOR❤🙌
I love you Floor, when will Nightwish come to South América?
I'm from Brazil and I can't get enough of seeing Floor Jansen singing Mama .... It's sensational, a sublime display of vocal technique .....I love

Beautiful Floor...speechless every time ❤ brought me to tears.
We adore you Floor, you are our queen!! Keep on singing and making us wonder! You made Nightwish great again!
You were amazing as always
ik vind het een waardeloos nummer, maar als jij het zingt is het nog te doen haha
Soooo......my face is soaking wet. You. Sung. Your. Heart. OUT (as usual, but, man.....).....I just....I'M Floor'd, period.
Now I have to explain the tears to my wife about a song in a language I don't speak.Thanks Floor.
Man, you are not alone ;-)
Why the hell i am chopping onions in the morning.....
@Aroused floppeke for me its a very nice and challenging language....
Just make her listen to this performance. No better and easier way.
It's about her mother that she struggling with herself and asking help.
Floor said in an interview that she doesn't focus on technique at all anymore. She focuses on the meaning & emotion & just opens her mouth & lets it come out. (I'm paraphrazing.)
Seems like a lot of metalheads from all of the world is now tuned to Dutch TV show :-)
yep … you got that right …
True. But I'm actually Dutch I'm just watching this program for Floor lol.
You bet! I'm one of them!
Never saw Dutch tv Before but i cant miss hearing Floor
@@GryLi Go search for: Star One: Live on earth. With her sister Irene. It blew my mind! How about you?

I think we talk too much about technical things, vocal ranges and stuff like that. Those are definitely part of the Floor-magic, but it is much more. A nice voice and perfect singing would not be enough to regularly make people cry. Her presence, charisma, enjoy in music, smile, her performance is fascinating. In minutes, or seconds, a humble, nice, quiet woman suddenly turns into a goddess-like person and you simply cannot resist the moment, knowing this experience is very special and meaningful.
Then she levaes the stage and becomes again the humble, quiet Floor.
And you, you want to experience that moment again and again.
Good summary. Well done

"Holy shit." is right. Floor is magnificent.

Ohhh, mama, why am I not like you
The most perfect example
Of a mother and a woman
Thank you!
Thanks!
Denise, you are well on your way of deserving a statue.
i look forward the the translated episode :)
Denise, thank you and thank you for translating the episodes for us non Dutch speakers.
THE Goddess now has a mainstream presence. This is just awesomeness.
Floor is naast een fantastische zangeres ook een zeer fijne persoonlijkheid. Ik woon zelf in Beegden, en kwam haar wel eens tegen als ik met de honden ging wandelen. Dan liet Floor de honden van haar ouders in Beegden uit. Zij is een erg leuke lieve en intelligente vrouw. En ik ben best trots dat een plaatsgenoot zo ver is gekomen in de internationale muziekindustrie en er zo gewoon zichzelf onder is gebleven!
Het straalt er inderdaad overal vanaf. What you see, is what you get. :-)
Floor, you make the world a better place. Dank je wel.
I may be biased but floor has had the best performances. I mean when the lady can only say is holy shit you know floor did amazing
That Band is always incredible - wow
Ok let's see, the plan for last saturday evening, this evening and the next saturday-evenings was/is/will be:
- Grabbing a cold beer
- Plug in the good earphones
- Working so hard on the Refresh-Button that the girlfriend comes upstairs and asks what the hell I am doing
- Being in total awe because of a great performance (yes, with Floor singing you can actually plan that!)
And well, all points of this list were (again) fullfilled. Man seriously, is there something this woman can't sing? I mean, I understood perhaps 5% of this song and I burst into tears. I'll bet she would even nail a Klingon opera.
I'd pay so much to see Floor perform a Klingon Opera!
💰💰💰💰💰
Tom Catter 😂😂 klingon opera😎 laughing my aas off😄
Hahaha awesome 😂
I throw my hat in the ring for this. I'd pay good, bordering on ridiculous, money to hear Floor sing anything in Klingon.
My nerd heart be still.
In full Klingon make up and gear
Brilliance: thy name is Floor Jansen!
Floor Jansen's voice only need less than 20 seconds to hit my soul, it's insane because I don't understand Dutch.
Imagine being as talented as these people and then Floor comes along and you can only admire that kind of talent!
Floor has got one of those voices that could have been successful 25, 50, even 75 years ago. Reminds me of the great singer/entertainers of old. What an amazing voice and presence she has!
I also love how open and vulnerable she is with her singing.
The quote of the season for me is, "you make everything better, Floor". So true.
Rand Wulf Ruben said that, the youngest guy in the group
There is not a soul in this wide world than can compete with this voice. Nobody!
I need to thank Floor because her presence made me know Samantha and Akkerman. They surprised me positively. But of course, Floor is my favorite.
...and she did it again!
If I was a artist I would be thinking:' Well here comes Floor to sing my song better than me'..
Just let Floor do a concert and declare her the winner.
I really believe she's the best all around vocalist I've ever heard.
I do wonder how she would do with American country music just out of morbid curiosity..
Best Live-singer I ve ever heard... And always high quality
There is NOTHING she can't do. What a force of nature. Amazing talent.
Wow, what a voice.
Hope she'll get her fame in Netherlands too!
ItsRickLopez well she’s a legend for a long time in the Netherlands tho, but amongst metal-heads.
indeed she is very well known and respected in the netherland among metalheads and in the dutch town dordrecht she is world famous and we adore floor (and miss her performences) and we maybe allready did before everyone else did
As a metalhead I knew her from her After Forever days, but everything she does in the Netherlands is now 'sold out' in a wink.
soft to hard to growl back to soft. Singing any and all the genres combined she is Floor Jansen! Only Floor
Most powerful voice on the planet.
ben 66 jaar en afgelopen uitzendingen gezien beste zangers.Mijn god wat een vrouw en talent. Ben nog stil van haar capaciteiten.Is gewoon een wereld wonder. xxxxxx
Floor of course is amazing, but I am quite impressed by the other singers on this show as well. Gotta give them their props too.
Anyone who goes in after Floor, man... people puke their guts out for a lot less.
Agreed! After I found this show I started watching all the episodes and was blown away by the quality of all the singers and the house band.
Dit seizoen is echte de allerbeste van alle seizoenen! Rolf sanche en Emma heesters die doorbraken, Henk poort van stal gehaald, Ruben, Tim en samantha ook heel goed. Floor was voor mij de echte topper, niet normaal zo goed en Henk poort ook super en de anderen waren ook echt goed.
I'm beyond surprise when it comes to what this woman can do. Only thing that could surprise me is if she actually failed at something, but i haven't heard her come even close yet. And its not just that she vocally can do anything, it's also the way she seems to grasp the spirit of what she's singing never mind the genre. That's the mark of a true artist.
I believe she has that kind of talent that even if she "fails", she's that quick that I believe she covers that so well no one even notices and is just totally amazed by whatever she covered it up with. Or if it's a risque style choice, her confident stance makes everything justified and magnificent 😂
Bingo
I don’t even understand the lyrics and i’m crying nonetheless 😮. Floor is otherworldly
Since hearing Floor do this song, I have not been able to go a day without listening to it at least once a day. I don't understand what she is singing but the song is so beautiful and Floor does it incredibly.
Anthony Silva goes about mothers and what she means to her
Thanks, Big Floor, you soooo,....!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Floor blows me away, as always 🤘
Don't talk about the voice (her extremely gifted voice is well known for all of us) and let's focus on the stunning interpretation!!! Doesn't matter if it's Dutch, German, English or ancient Latin... even Martian. You are able to feel this song (and many others from nightwish) based on her attitude, facial and body expressions, and the vocal variations she use. Magnificent!!!!
Greatest vocalist in the universe ever, period.
I could not agree more!!!
My goodness that voice , that voice , that voice .
Floor gives this song so much power and depth that you don't necessarily have to understand to be touched.
She is so amazing. I have no idea what she is saying but I can FEEL what she is trying to say.
all fans of floor never realized till now how massive her abilities are and hell the sheer scope of what she can perform --- we all knew she was special as a person and singer -- god I hope she can truly do more of everything not just metal -- I will be waiting with bated breath
Leslie listen to this ua-cam.com/video/e6-6NVsbg6U/v-deo.html
That woman is a goddess... I've been learning the Dutch language because of her. Well, Heidevolk has helped a little with that desire as well. But, Floor got the ball rolling.
She is a queen. O my God the way she executed is just mesmerizing just Goose bumps. She nailed the song.
Floor's enormous POWER: not only her voice, but also her Empathy, she really makes you FEEL what she sings!
My god, what is this good. I want to sing this to my mama.
OMG Floor another one smashed out of the park. What an amazing talent you are
UA-cam is full of Floor and Nightwish reactions. People are going crazy lately. I really hope she is aware of that :)
She absolutely deserves it; her voice is sublime; versatile.... Dare I say it... Perfect?
I regards to Nightwish I never got into the Tarja vs Annette thing; both were good in different ways, and I still maintain that, but Floor Jansen I will say is the best of the three. She's incredible.
I fucking every second of it.
The Phantom of the Opera duet gave me goosebumps. Her voice is really something else.
Even a year later, reactions going strong.
This woman........... 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
That was Incredible.
I wanna see Floor sing Je suis Malade. I think she can handle that song perfectly.
Cook Boss88 awesome suggestion!!
Floor ❤
I'm so glad to be alive at the same time as this beautiful person.
Damn it, Floor !! Great how you brought "Mama" 😮😥
I've been following you for a while and I'm very proud of how you perform with Nightwish. As a former musician from the former Tilburg music scene with Henny Vrienten and others, I am very interested in how our "descendants" are doing in the music world. But what you perform as a somewhat shy girl with Nightwish borders on the incredible. Such a shame that you are not that known with Nightwish in NL. Hopefully your performance at "De Beste Zangers" will change that, because what you show there (in all your modesty) is great class !! What a surprise too, your performance of Franz Léhar's Vilja Song 😮
I am curious what else you have in store for us, I will be glued to the screen ... !!
Verdomme, Floor !! Geweldig hoe je "Mama" bracht 😮😥
Ik volg je al een tijdje en ik ben enorm trots hoe je met Nightwish presteert. Als oud-muzikant uit de vroegere Tilburgse muziek-scene met oa Henny Vrienten ben ik erg geïnteresseerd hoe onze "nazaten" het doen in de muziekwereld. Maar wat jij als toch ietwat verlegen meisje presteert met Nightwish grenst aan het ongelofelijke. Zo jammer dat jij met Nightwish in NL nog niet zo bekend bent. Hopelijk brengt jouw performance bij "De Beste Zangers" daar verandering in, want wat je daar (in al je bescheidenheid) laat horen is grote klasse !! Wat een verrassing ook, jouw uitvoering van Franz Léhar's Vilja-Lied 😮
Ik ben benieuwd wat je nog meer voor ons in petto hebt, ik zal aan het scherm gekluisterd zijn ... !!
👍
🤘🤘
Floor Jansen begeistert mich immer mehr. Ob bei Nightwish, oder classisch. Sie scheint eine tolle Frau zu sein. Eine sehr gute Sängerin und ein absolut sympathischer Mensch. Weiter so.
Esto va dedicado a todas esas personas que desprecian el heavy metal sin haber escuchado una sola nota con sus repugnantes prejuicios y que se creen que son unos melenudos con cabellera grasienta pegando gritos a diestro y siniestro, que bueno, si que los hay, gracias y mil veces gracias por callar la boca a esos ignorantes con tu talento y tú maravillosa voz, siempre acabo llorando cuando te escucho cantar y se me estremece el alma y el corazón, no puedo evitarlo, gracias por existir, muchísimas gracias, entro en un universo paralelo donde olvidó mis problemas y todo son historias con final feliz cuando te oigo cantar. Un abrazo.
Apart from having a totally amazing voice she puts so much passion and emotion into everything she sings, Definitely the greatest singer there is.
The dude's head shoot up at the 1:25 mark, haha...awesome. Floor slaying it again!
Floor is singing the typical Dutch "levens lied" (life song), it sounds so much better with all that feeling you put in it, Samanta was blown away with your performance (just the like the rest of the world).
You stay always that humble, while you are the best singer we have ever had in Holland. Keep close to youself, you are a beautifull woman in many ways. Thank you
thank you, Netherlands, for recognizing that Floor is amazing, she deserves to get some attention from the Dutchies! (like some others of you deserve international attention! I am also LOVING Samantha's work now since watching Beste Zangers because my favorite singer was on it)
thank you, Beste Zangers, for introducing her many millions of international fans to other amazing Dutch artists, whom we might not have otherwise known about if not for Floor being on the show.
please, please, please start subtitling the episodes for us. there are fans who really want to watch the whole episodes, so we can get to know the other singers as well.
with Love from America!

You can watch the full episodes here. Not subtitled, but you can at least listen to the other singers as well.
Hi PONY!!! Did you catch Floors and Samanthas instagram chat? it was hilarious since I got my captions to actually work for it!!! :) laters..
@@warhammer5690 captions?! I was watching it live but I didn't know there was a way to get captions! 😭😭😭
@HIFK forever awwwe thank you!!!I'm trying to get them to do more (less reacted to) lyrically interesting songs by nightwish.
I was starting to think, after all the unhappy viewers, I was doing it wrong, so to see this makes me feel like I have done better than I otherwise figured 🥰 thank you!!
@@zwendelaer I actually have the site bookmarked hahaha
Can NEVER get enough Floor. Anyone else notice that she is always smiling? She lights up a room.
Floor is really such incredibly amazing singer, not only because of her versatility singing tallent but her stage presence and the way she interpret every song to delivered the emotions of the song is amazing, you just can feels it whatever languages that is.
Allemachtig zeg wat had ik een kippenvel toen je dit schitterende nummer van Samantha zong !!! Je deed me denken aan mijn eigen liefste mama die der helaas sinds 2 jaar niet meer is ... Thanks Floor !!!!!
Funny thing they all want for Floor to be known at her home country yet thanks to her all of them will be known around the world....Samantha seems to be not only a great singer but an amazing writer as well
