She would normally be touring with Nightwish right now, this is how she is keeping herself busy and enriched while on an unplanned hiatus!
Thats why Nightwish crew made their own covers ...Crewish , unemployed blacksmiths ... 5 songs , Sleeping Sun. , Wish I Had An Angel. , Amaranth. , Nemo. and Elan.
When its not only the 6 people in the band that are out of work , its the near 50 member crew that set up the gigs that are out of work too .
Crewish unemployed blacksmiths teaser ua-cam.com/video/EbbFMiPv56E/v-deo.html 31 sec
Floor sang this half a tone over the original song and much slow, great breath control... beautiful!
Wouldn't she be doing her solo tour now also?
@@JHX1 Her solo shows were supposed to end before Nightwish started their tour in April.
@@ceithern aha ok, thank you. I missed that part. I thought that Tuomas his wife already took it over. Probably in a few months.
Floor is something else, and still very much a member of Nightwish!
Well, that was a lucky shot in the dark, to meet our queen Floor again after just 1 day.
A "small" correction: she IS the present singer of Nightwish. But the pandemic situation hit them too, so no concerts this year. She decided to make some covers, from home. This is her 2nd cover aired yesterday, the 1st one ("Let It Go" from "Frozen") was aired 2 weeks ago.
New subscriber here, for letting yourself to be emotional. Greetings from Romania.
@Matias Rudy SPAM, again.
Yea she did a solo thing last year, this is just her at home occupying herself during the pandemic.
Floor is just that talented!
She can blow your mind and melt your face while seated in a rocking chair and keeping a heart rate below 65... Insane!
The only singer alive that I can fathom covering Ann successfully. Check out all of Floors episodes on Beste Zangers 2019. Not rock but great stuff for Floor fans. The episodes with English subtitles are best because you get a lot of backstory to the songs.
You mean the show where you can see that Lady Gaga has written "Shallow" for Floor? ;)
As you're starting to understand, Floor is (literally, without exaggeration) one of the best female vocalists in the world. Nightwish is one of the very best bands in the world. There is a very deep rabbit hole waiting for you to explore. Have fun!
Yeah I kinda realized it........
@@OldSkuleNerd did you know that Hearts version was also a cover ? here's the original from 1983 : I-10 original song: ua-cam.com/video/ONuYXeZdCNw/v-deo.html
& here's another amazing version Floor did with her 1st band about 12yrs ago : After Forever - Alone (Heart Cover) Floor's 1st band: ua-cam.com/video/EpxOKueE-_0/v-deo.html -** this is possible better than the original**
and a short version she did with NW :
Nightwish - Alone (Heart Cover) : ua-cam.com/video/OI2sojuvnrY/v-deo.html
@@OldSkuleNerd btw Floor is the 3rd,current and final singer for NW
@@OldSkuleNerd ** just heard that Floor may be doing a cover of "Still Loving You" Scorpions, will be Amazing!
You should see her in the Beste Zangers I think that’s how it’s spelled
She is incredible on that show. She sings in Spanish, German, and more!
Song Shallow from the show.
Winner and que se siente are great.
She is amazing on that show...Winner, Shallow are my favorites...but she sounds so beautiful singing other languages as well
You spelt it perfect! 👌🏼👍🏻😉
She kills the mic when she comes closer 🤣👍👩🏻🎤
Mic has restraining order against her.
@@goranelez9956 🤣🤣👍👍
there is nobody like Floor , Checkout these two songs from the Wacken 2013 show " Storytime" & "Romanticide" you will have the same look on your face as you did today
Don't worry, she's still with Nightwish. Because of the Corona, their 2020 World Tour is recheduled/postponed. So she has time to do some personal fun. She has done "Alone" a couple times before. This version is a mature and great. I'm a big fan of Heart also and I've seen their versions and the Kennedy Center "Stairway...." They are great too. Wonderful piano by a Dutch master Joost van den Broek. Best of wishes! ⛄👍
Floor becomes the song, whatever it is. As good as her vocal skill is, her interpretive skills are even better.
That my man, is the most powerful and expressive female voice on the planet today. I honestly don't believe there's another who can come close to doing what she can do. It's no wonder she's called the Goddess of Metal.
Back in 2007,she did a cover of this song. And Ann Wilson commented on that, you'll love her. FLOOOOOR❤❤
Now do you understand why we call her Goddess?
Thanks, I was about to comment exactly the same!
Valkyrie Goddess of Metal, Goddess of Empathy, Vocal Sorceress, Soprano Goddess, Chameleon, Shapeshifter, Master and more. Opinions of the Nightwish Army and Voice coaches and Opera singers.
She's got a lot of names...Hail, Floor the Goddess
She did this sitting in a chair, sitting down in a chair!!!! 🤯
Anyone who tries to sing this song has to stand up.
Strong..... 😎
She's still the vocalist of Nightwish, plus has a budding solo career after taking part in a TV show in the Netherlands (her home country), and she's doing these covers mostly because there's no touring. She'd be on tour with Nightwish right now.
Her choice of shirt, I think, has meaning for her on several levels. First of all, she has called wolf and dog her "spirit animals" (there's a song called "Wolf & Dog" by her former band ReVamp). She even has them tattooed behind her ears, one on each side. The wolf represents the drive to be adventurous, to go out into the world and explore it; the dog represents the wish to curl up in a comfortable home beside the oven and live a home and family life.
The "cause I'm not afraid anymore" part might refer to the aftermath of the severe burnout she had in 2010/2011 before joining Nightwish, when, after her first band After Forever had split up in 2009, she was building up her new band ReVamp from the ground and doing everything, from recording and rehearsing to songwriting to management and art direction and bookkeeping, all the while working and teaching singing to support herself, and she overreached herself. Or it might refer to her being an outsider and bullied kid at school who found her redemption in singing in school plays and wowing people from the stage-an experience she has said cinched her future career for her. And you have to agree she's quite good at howling and roaring. :)
She was afraid performing with Nightwish the 1st time. It was right after she had recovered from a burnout. A month or two earlier she would have said NO to the Nightwish proposal. And she had practically no time to prepare herself for the first concert. She told the audience she doesn't know how it's going to go.
Three years later back in Seattle she told the audience the last time she almost shit her pants and thanked the audience for support way back then.
She also thanked her Nightwish brothers for the best three and a half years of her life.
She is still with nightwish, they just can’t do any live shows on the count of the virus lockdowns, thanks 😊I think nightwish will have a live show next may probably in Argentina, thanks 😊
You should try Floor Jansen singing Vilja Lied from Beste Zangers to see how operatic she can go ^^
Just watch everything Floor has done. EVERYTHING!
And then she goes ever further with O Mio Babbino Caro, with ring in the nose, of course.
Floor also sings for a project called Ayreon, which is AMAZING. If you haven't heard them before, if you're ready for an epic start, check out The Day That The World Breaks Down.
She's singing this SITTING DOWN.
I expect we're about the same age so I also expect I knew the excitement you had when you saw this cover existed.
Our dearest diamond Floor. Came to Earth from another universe, to blow our minds with the boys from Nightwish, then came Corona, and started a series of covers, to help us all through these crazy times. This woman is the real deal. A true born vocal healer at the highest level possible.
Yes, a lot of us teared up too. What can one say that hasn't been said? She is the only pop/rock/metal singer who can pass for an opera diva, and the only person singing opera who can belt out metal vocals. She really seems to be superhuman. Great reaction!
Watching daddy bear crying made me emotional! Glad you loved it!
You should try Floor's contributions to Beste Zangers 2019 particularly Phantom of the Opera, Shallow, Vilja Lied.
According to Tuomas Holopainen, the head of Nightwish, they will disband once Floor Jansen decides to leave. "That will never happen", Floor responded...period. So we need to get used to the thought that they will share the stage as long as they continue as professional musicians.
She's not just a great singer technically, she has the ability to fill her songs with emotion and project it like nobody else. That's what's so incredibly amazing about her, to me.
the nightwish army is here too :) always at Floor, always by the valkyrie's side. special greetings to #GabrielBardac
Floor actually did a cover of this song some 15 years ago (when Floor was in her twenties) together with her band "After Forever" - if you listen to that version (that Ann also rated as one if not the best cover) and this last version, you'll recognize the voice, although more mature, and Floor is a mother too now!
You might also like to check "How's the Heart" from Nightwish latest album in its the acoustic version performed by Floor and Troy (NW's multi-instrumentalist and singer) for Planet Rock.
She is the frontwoman of Nightwish. What happens is they haven’t toured because of the pandemic with this year’s album Human:||:Nature. This is Floor Jansen keeping busy and engaging the fan base. On piano you will find Joost van der Broek who is the former keyboard player of a band she was in called After Forever.
Ann Wison was a big influence on Floor. Floor is still a part of Nightwish. However while this covid thing is going on Floor is stretching her wings a little. We are all looking forward to a solo record from Floor. It will be a little while yet. She is just starting to develop some song ideas. She has been releasing cover songs for all of us during this shut down. Floor is anxious to get back on tour to perform for all of us. Their tour was supposed to start last February. I too am an older man who grew up in the 70's and 80's and have just discovered the amazing music of Nightwish and the Dutch queen of symphonic metal. About 14 months ago and am totally hooked. I am going to check out your other Nightwish reaction my friend. Follow the suggestions of my Romanian friend Gabriel Bardac below for future reactions and general info on Nightwish. Hope to see you again very soon. It is a very emotional journey and the ride will take many twists and turns. Always expect the unexpected. Peace.
The following is not my own text. I have read someone reacting with this text and I could not agree more:
"The worst thing that can happen to you as a professional singer is that Floor Jansen does a cover of your song. You instantly looses your song. She owns it". End of quote.
Of course that is not her intention. It's just a fact of life. She is by far the best singer ever produced by mankind. And it is not just the voice. It is a combination of voice, emotion, looks, gestures, moves. It is communication on a totally different level.... It literally enriches my life.
no words listening to our Queen ... the only Queen I’m 46 and tears came out of my eyes ... this is insane 🤯
not solo but all Nightwish members have other music projects on the side. according to the plan Nightwish should have been on tour right now. but due to covid its prosponed. ( you know she growls / does extreem singing to )
Just listen to her former band Revamp!
FLOOR is an absolute GODDESS!!!!
I saw you wipe that tear from your eye. Floor has that power and emotion on people.
New sub! 😁Her surname Jansen actually pronounce YÁNSEN and she's still a very member of Nightwish, actually they released a new album in 2020 with her which is amazing and very unique. I watched all your reactions to Jinjer, Unleash The Archers, Eluiveite ecc... and they are on point! But, for Nightwish let's move on to REACTICIDE which is reacting to Romanticide and I suggest you live version from Wacken 2013. Because I think as a old school metal fan that will open the gate of another level of epicness for you, story telling combined with HEAVY metal ! Thank you for these amazing reactions and be safe my friend. 🖤🤘🤘
You: How much power does this woman have?
Floor: Yes.
Her cover of Shallow is pretty awesome when you get around to that =) There's something to the comparison I've heard of her and Freddie Mercury, and it spans to Nightwish in GLS has that Bohemian Rhapsody kind of epicness that world is missing these days (at least in the states.) Floor asked what she should cover next and my oh my I hope she covers Who wants to live Forever.
Told you that you would be in tears, happy and sad !!!! GREAT Reaction 👍😉.
Now you've seen Floor's superpower, making grown men weep. In a good way. :D And thankfully for all of us, she is still Nightwish's 3rd and current singer.
And this is sitting down. It's hard to inflate the lungs fully when seated. She's very much still with Nightwish. She just has side projects going on between NW tours because she is in such high demand as the widely accepted greatest living singer in the world today. While the world is on COVID hiatus with all tours cancelled she is entertaining her fans by doing things like this at home on her farm in Sweden when she's not out driving in fence posts with a 20 lb sledgehammer for her horse paddock! Not kidding. Look at the beautiful muscle definition in those arms! They match the power and strength of her lungs.
Thnx .... great reaction on Floor's vocals ! .. they say " there must be something in the Dutch water " to have so many good vocalist in that small country !
like Glennis Grace / Davina Michelle / Ilse de Lange etc etc
I've always loved the power ballad Alone by Heart! Amazing band and Ann Wilson is a powerful singer! I agree, only someone like Floor Jansen could come close to Ann Wilson! Love this version and Floor is the most incredible, versatile singer around! I love Nightwish too!! Two fantastic singers- no-one else comes close!!!! 🎤🎤
Love it. She held back and did this one nice and soft lol. Gotta do something while waiting for the virus to allow Nightwish to tour again.
How much power does this woman have?
Floor: "yes"
Hey, you should definitely check Floor Jansen in her previous bands before she joined nightwish, After Forever, Northward, Revamp and she was on a Dutch reality show beste zangers 2019, it shows all the different styles and languages she can do, awesome awesome thanks 😊she is a classically trained and a professional voice coach as well thanks 😊
Bro...definitely check out all Nightwish material. Floor Jansen is so rewarding to be a fan of. You will love everything she is involved into. The same can be said for Tuomas of Nightwish as a song writer. He is amazing. That being said, afterwards, you must be introduced to Epica also. It is another band of the symphonic metal genre.
I am a 20 year vet of the USAF, my girlfriend is a Vet of the Army. I want to thank you for your service brotha!!!
Well said. :)
Stumbled in here from your first reaction to Nightwish/Floor.
You’ve officially been Floored with multiple Floorgasms 🤘🏻
I discovered them 14 months ago and my life has not been the same ever since.
Excited to join you on your Nightwish journey. Welcome to the army! Great reaction btw 🤘🏻
yes that's the ultimate question. How much power indeed? She's incredible Welcome to the Nightwish/Floor rabbit hole. They have the epic story telling and they can thrash. Many suggestions from the Nightwish army are on their way. New album is fantastic too. Enjoying your videos.
Look at Floor together with Epica, from Retrospect Live tour: Santa Terra or Sabat Delarosa (opera). Simone Simons and Floor are BFF's
Try Epica Live at the Zenith "Consign to Oblivion" or "Design your Universe".
Floor is a Goddess!
Floor is ridiculous when it comes to singing. One of my faves along with epicas,within Temptation and Evanescence singers. Her range is just nuts tho.
🤘I understand you bro....🤘
Wow, there's so much more Floor to discover. Floor with Nightwish, Floor with After Forever, Floor with Ayreon, Floor with ReVamp, Floor solo. There's enough material to keep you going for a long time. I sugest How's The Heart the acoustic version. It's one of their recent songs and absolutely briljant.
Floor is a huge fan of Ann Wilson, that show's. She did the song justice❤
Sublime, how do I back from something like that? I just can not..
All hail the queen. Fabulous, thankyou
She's still Nightwish ;) Tour dates out now for US and Europe 2021. If the panemic allows concerts... But she is unbelievable, fantastic and from another world.
The Queen Of Everything Vocal :) Heart
Wonderful, both Floor and your reaction!
... and she did it sitting down in a rocking chair. :)
And thus the Queen saith, there shall be no pausing in this video, amen
Yessir, Nightwish is Heart incarnate as symphonic metal. As I've said many times on many other channels, Nightwish may not ever become your favorite band, or even the most technically proficient. But by god they are the most important!
About the shirt. Floor actually was pretty depressed before joining Nightwish, like to the point where she wasn't just about to quit her band, she was about to stop her singing career and just do something else instead. Then Tuomas and Marco and Jukka and Emppu and Troy came along, and...well, you see the result. She's fond of saying that she gained five brothers that day.
The point being, just as your tag suggests, it's never too late and anyone can start from anywhere.
Funny Story from you. 2017 was a sabbatical year at Nightwish because Floor gave birth to their daughter. Various solo projects by the band members emerged. Floor recorded the hard rock album Northward. The distance to the microphone has nothing to do with her voice, but with the design of the microphone. If she were to use this mic on stage, there would be feedback. There you take microphones that only record at a short distance so as not to record the speakers.
”Romanticide” or ”Yours an Empty Hope” by Nightwish if you wanna hear real metal
You got Floored❤
Just this: ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
If you want to hear more of Floor Jansen solo, check out her performances on the show Beste Zangers 2019(Dutch tvshow). Whole episodes or just her performances are to be found on UA-cam uploaded by jenniezelf with subtitles for our english-speaking friends :)
I discovered a 19 year old singer recently who is hands down, one of the BEST singers to cover 80s hair bands I have EVER heard...period. Check out Moriah Formica doing Steelheart "Never Let You Go."
You know Floor Jansen is married to the drummer of Sabaton......
Just another awesome band
All the respect in the world to Ann Wilson, but this is NEXT LEVEL!
I reacted to ghost love score first and then I saw this and I liked you and how you did the ghost love score reaction but you completely won me over with this one! And by the way floor does stuff by herself all the time but she's not a solo artist she's still with Nightwish she just has some side projects just like Marco.... She is a vocal beast and the best part about her is how humble she is I mean she definitely knows how good she is but she never stops working hard she is the professional athlete that is never convinced that she is at the top of her game and that is something that is just amazing she has an incredible work ethic...and I remember reading somewhere because floor has done this song actually two other times she did it with her older band called revamp and she did it on a cruise ship with Nightwish it was like an acoustic set but anyway I remember also reading that and Wilson has seen and heard floor do this before and she was pretty much blown away that's coming out of the queen herself I grew up a huge fan of heart and and and Nancy,.... But it's also amazing that floor wasn't even well known in her own country for a while and the United States doesn't hardly know anything about her I have a feeling after this cover and the cover she just did of let It go I think a couple more people will know who floor Jansen really is
Floor Perfection
So sweet your reaction. 💗
Floor Jansen with Joost van den Broek means floorgasms!
You were spellbound - ✨ 💜
Floor is not a solo artist. Tuomas said in an interview that if Floor would quit that would be the end of Nightwish. Floor is however doing solo activities. Especially in the Nehterlands where she really made a name for herself last year in the Beste Zangers show. She also does colabs with other great metal bands (mainly from the Netherlands) like Ayreon (an Arjen Anthony Lucassen project where she sometimes sings with her sister Irene - two Jansens for the price of one), Epica, Delain etc. She even did a performance with Tarja (ex Nightwish).
Thank you Ol'Skool : )
Floor ... nuff said
'You need to hear Romanticide and song of my self. '
You had a tear there - good reaction...you wanna see her blow really high....a Queen to D6 moment you need to react to Beste Zangers 2019 Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort
Thanks, very good reaction to this awesome song, from our Queen 😊
Mentioned it in a comment on your GLS reaction to see here you already reacted to this. Gonna watch now 😊
Wonderful! As the song is only released this weekend there aren't many reactions to it yet, but so far everyone is tearing up or getting glassy eyes. That's how the emotion is felt and that's what I love so much of Floor besides her incredible vocal capabilities and inside and out beauty.
It's that feeling one has, when you have just heard the best female voice on the planet. Floor brings that same emotion to every song she sings, with the amazing Nightwish....
Another band you should check out is Sabaton. Floor's husband is the drummer in this awesome band. They sing about historical wars, and they rock!
She still sings for Nightwish, they released new album few months ago.
** just heard that Floor may be doing a cover of "Still Loving You" Scorpions, will be Amazing!
If you want to see some earlier floor jansen, look up the band after forever. she did that before nightwish.
If you want something really different. check out Floor in "beste zangers" singing "about love I don't know a thing". You will be surprised.
❤ Lol... Just to let you know, brother, but you probably already know. Heart's most recent album came out in 2016 and went gold. Also... Heart did a sold out arena tour, in 2019, and it was phenomenal. We seen that tour in Denver and Ann still rocked the house at 69 years-old. This cover of Alone is absolutely beautiful. Celine Dion's and Carrie Underwood's covers pale in comparison. Floor is still with Nightwish and they're coming to the states next year. We got our tickets for their October 2021 New York show.🤘🤘🤘
I just subscribed. I'm in the Big Easy. Fell down the Nightwish / Floor Jansen rabbit hole a few months ago. Still haven't seen everything but Floor can sing anything she damn well pleases - from Shallow to Phantom of the Opera and actual opera. She released a cover of Let it Go a few days ago - parents who are tired of hearing their kids play the Disney version over and over again are loving it.
Great reaction bro but Ann Wilson and Amy Lee are not in the same league as Floor.
Why? Check out 'the Vilja Lied' or 'Oh mio babbino caro' and you know that I wasn't kidding.
My opinion.
Eddie you are likely right there, but in the states at least those two singers - maybe throw in Pat Benatar is what we have for reference points in rock. Could even thrown in a Sass Jordan if you're farther up north. Nobody I've introduced NW to knows them in Ohio so far, but several people do now.
@@jaysmith5035 Don't know Sass Jordan but Pat Benatar, I do know.
Excellent singer.
Have both of them sung Aria's.
If they did I stand corrected.
Check out the Aria's and you know that I mean.
Enjoyed both reactions, hope you'll do some more nightwish/floor as well! Thanks :)
New subscriber here from Denmark 🇩🇰 - just seen your 2 reactions - and on the last one Floor used the emotional hammer - but just a small one as you will discover 🤣🔨
Floor is very active on the social media and just to keep her voice in shape - and to spoil her loyal fans, she releases covers of different songs, teasing us to guess what she is coming up with next.
As the others already have mentioned - Beste Zangers from 2019, is another side of Floor, where she concurred her own County (she was unknown - but that changed radically, with 10 extra shows, music price...).
And still - Floor is only one of the 6 musicians in Nightwish - they have 3 awesome singers..... Floor, Marco and Troy - so you are in for the ride of your life 😉
Fact: In Beste Zangers, Floor made the studio cry their hearts more than once on live TV - so don't be surprised that she hit you. Her emotional abilities through her voice and body are - - - you will experience youself, better that way👍🤘🤘😉
She is still in Nightwish but does a solo project at the moment.
I have the feeling that that is singing thinking about her past band, friends and moments that she lived...
Maybe a song that has some personal significance for her... I see so much emotion and tears in her performance!
