Henk poort has played the phantom of the opera in the Netherlands. And floor really admired him growing up. She also told this television programme she would join if Henk would. As soon as she heard he was also joining she asked him to sing this song with him. The lightning you hear in the song is actually real lightning.
final note D6 for 8 secs. Floor training. Floor tweeted this If I hadn't had passionate music teachers in my high school, I might never have started singing. I was the bullied, insecure kid who dreamt of singing without knowing that I had a voice for it. "Because of my dedication at school I dared to crawl out of my shell and started to sing! I became more confident of myself and made friends and was forever in love with music. "Nothing is as wonderful and honest as making music together. Nothing connects as music can. Music education is therefore very important for many reasons. Floor's Wiki Bio Floor Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied classical, musical theatre and a year of opera. After After Forever split up she started teaching performing in her own course called Wanna be a Star?! She used to play the guitar, piano and flute and has completed several years of music studies. From the age of 16 all during this period she was fronting the the Band Apocalypse (later known as After Forever) in 1997 until they disbanded in 2009. She then did vocal coaching and formed her own band called Revamp which officially broke up in 2016 because of Floor's commitment to Nightwish. The Rock Academy in the Netherlands is an actual Bachelors degree, conservatory style, but focusing on the rock/pop industry
Floor jansen the Queen of metal ♥is a classic trained and professional voice coach with at least 20 years experience and can do anything from death metal growling to high opera notes, 😀
Floor is amazing. I mean, there's really not much she can't do. She has a gorgeous voice. And she's a totally cool person too. If you guys check out Nightwish, she has so many incredibly good songs. I think in general the place to start is Ghost Love Score live at Wacken.
Absolutely. I expected she'd be capable of singing it, but she's such a great performer that she manages to convey the emotion of the character as well. Really impressive.
Hello Asia and BJ. I have some info on Floor Jansen for you here. She is married to Hannes Van Dahl, drummer of the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. Together they have a daughter. ( Freja ) Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6). Re-singing style ranges from opera to screams and grunts. She usually sings in English, in addition she has also sung songs in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish. Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. Greetings from the Netherlands.
According to Floor, she is 183cm tall (a sneeze over 6'). She does wear heels when performing, anywhere from 2-4". However, she has stated that since turning 40, the heels may disappear (or at least, based on her very recent performances in Finland, shrink somewhat).
From this same show.....she Opened the series ...singing the opera "Vilja Lied" for Henk. ( his mother used to sing it to him ) ....no one knew her ...she was dressed metal/goth ...and opening with a Austrian opera piece ..... you MUST watch it.
There's a back story here guys. Henk played the phantom in the Netherlands. Chris Weber said he was the best phantom out all of them... Floor does have classical training btw. Floor first herd Henk, when she was very young. This was her "crush" growing up. For the record Floor is a little over 6ft tall. This was her "dream come true", with her being able to do this with him......Great reaction guys!!!!!!!
I'd say she's had classical training. I don't know if she's done opera but I'm sure commenters will correct me. Phantom of the opera isn't an opera either, it's a musical.
See for yourself, Floor in a more operatic setting: O Mio Babbino Caro: ua-cam.com/video/dcKrSpAxbnE/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/v-deo.html Stabat Mater Dolorosa: ua-cam.com/video/nhtOORYTGx8/v-deo.html Vilja (from Die Lustige Witwe): ua-cam.com/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/v-deo.html
Floor Jansen is 1.84 m tall. Floor is classically trained. floor is also a big fan of THE Henk Poort . Henk Poort and Floor also made a cover of Dangerous Game together . this video is a combination of 2 separate videos because due to Corona measures they recorded this separately Hank poort here in the Netherlands and Floor Jansen in her home studio in Sweden and they mixed them beautifully into 1 video
*I feel she is underated* Maybe in the us where people are mostly ignorant of the music outside the us, but she is very appreciated in metal around the rest of the world. There are not many pop singers who can do what she can (if at all).
@@granthill1760 also in Europe, if you're not into Metal you dont know her too, there are not very much people outside the Metal Szene who found her here at YT. In the Netherlands its changed a bit since the 2019 Beste Zangers TV Show. But i'm sure here in Germany 90% dont know her.
I agree with Grant here. Most people I've seen in the US immediately appreciate her talent and the band as a whole and their talents. It's just they are unknown - that's the perfect word for it here. For whatever asinine reason, they try to keep us in a sort of music bubble here in the States. The push certain things and the rest are left by the wayside. It's sad, really. So many bands put of Europe that are truly great and people just don't know about them here. That's one thing reactions are doing - opening people up to a lot of new stuff never on rotation over here. Floor and Nightwish are more than amazing.
I read that the record labels have deliberately kept artists hidden that they can’t profit from. I don’t know if that’s true but it sounds about right.
Floor Jansen is a soprano. She was sixteen when she joined Apocalypse (later known as After Forever) in 1997. Three years later the band released its first album, Prison of Desire. She co-wrote the band's words and music with band member Mark Jansen (no relation) until he left in 2002, after which she was the band's sole composer. Before becoming a full-time musician, she worked as a singing teacher. On September 18 2016, it was announced, that Jansen and her husband Hannes Van Dahl, the drummer of Sabaton, were expecting their first child. On March 15 2017, Jansen announced via Instagram that she had given birth to a girl named Freja. On October 26 2022, Floor Jansen announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and went to undergo surgery for it the following day. Two days following the announcement, Floor Jansen confirmed that the surgery went well.
BJ: That's my favorite part. Me: JUST WAIT! I have watched/listened to this video like 50 times so I'm so stoked to see you react to it. That last note. DAAAAAAANG!
OMG~YESSSS!!! Floor & Henk are amazing together. He played the Phantom for years. And yes, Floor is trained. She not only is a vocal coach, but the amazing (current) singer of Nightwish. They are unbelievable. She loves Henk and he changed it up a bit for Floor and made it a little more rock/growlish for her. Please keep going down the Floor/Nightwish rabbit hole. Floor not only sings Opera, she can rock out and throw a really deep growl in there also. This is one of the best performances in history. Thank you. You guys are amazing.
Great reaction. Yes Floor is opera trained. Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of almost four octaves (D3-G#5-F6). When listening to her sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres and is a Master vocal coach. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🇺🇸🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
Floor is actually a vocal coach! In this performance, I hear more of her classical training w/ elements of opera... You should check out Nightwish's "Phantom", w/ their original vocalist Tarja Turunen (and Marko!!!). Tarja's pure operatic approach is a beautiful contrast, Marko's range will shock the bleep out of you, aaand also Nightwish (the build!!!!!). 😍🤘
Now, Nightwish is my favorite, so you know I had to come immediately! Floor Jansen (Yansen) is amazing! So much material and they always surprise you - never know what to expect. You should try Song Of Myself live from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vah-cken). One of my favorites. Shoemaker is another one, gives you some of Floor doing full blown opera, that's mind blowing and brings on the goosebumps every stinking time. Love you guys!!
I enjoyed the reaction very much.. If you like this.. Did you saw dangerous games, Floor and Henk? When you see the show 2019, you will see Henk singing almost all kind of genres,...even country.. what is really fun
Floor is the Valkyrie Goddess! Henk Poort was indeed the best Phantom according to Andrew LLoyd Webber. You should check out his performance of The Sound of Silence...it will blow you away. He performed this song for Floor.
I think you guys missed the big point of this performance, allthough Floor is doing here an amazing job, we all knew she could do this, as she is a marvelous singer. The point here is the suprise that Henk Poort did his voice with the grunching "disturbed " sound which we all knew from the cover song "sound of silence"
Ok, so this is a Dutch show called “Beste Zangers”, which means Best singers or Dear singers. Every season shows 7 artists from completely different backgrounds; singers who were big in the 80’s, very young singers who are doing covers on UA-cam, and everything in between. They all have different genres: Pop, rock, jazz, classical, hip hop, you name it. Every artist gets one episode where the other artist from their season sing one of this artist’s songs, one of this artists favourite songs, or something from their genre. That creates all sorts of wonderful performances. In the last episode, several singers team up for duets, such as this one. Check more out of this show!
Floor trained at the Dutch Rock Academy & Conservatorium Tilburg mostly in musical theatre, but, also studied a year of opera. She IS tall, she's just over 6 foot.
Opera is done in a special building with no amplification (none needed because the building is acoustically designed for it). Floor Jansen and Henk Poort are both classically trained (including operatic training). They are using parts of their classical training here. Floor is also metal trained. She helped Henk Poort in that fashion. Henk played the Phantom in the Netherlands stage performances of Phantom of the Opera. Phantom of the Opera is not an opera, it's a musical about an opera singer.
So this is something I just recently came across and absolutely blown away. I am in love with nightwish. I have every one of their CDs. This is just amazing from beginning to end I play it everyday when I get home from work
Hi there, such a nice couple! You´ve just witnessed the most versatile female singer of our time. Yes Floor is unknown in USA. I think that USA is a place where they don´t make much new in music industry today. I guess the reason is, that in the USA you like it "home woven". But in the way it is done, there is not much room for progress in the USA. Metal music lovers all over the world know what Nightwish and Floor Jansen are all about. But anyway it was fine to watch you guys reacting, and to hear your comments. Thank you. Take care.
Floor is with Nightwish now. That opens the door for a lot of reviews. But yes she is a trained opera singer. She is probably the most complete singer in music. Yes she is tall. But she can hit every note no matter what kinda song and its amazing. Then add in nightwish type of rock and your in for a journey. But if i had to pick a handful of singers in the world of all genres. She would be top 3 if not 1.
Floor is around 6' 2"...others have already said it but she is a classically trained singer. I've seen Nightwish in person and she just dominates the stage with her presence. Henk learned how to do a Metal growl just for Floor.
hi guys floor is just over 6ft tall and is trained opera and teaches vocals to others most people dont no but floor speaks 4 other languages too quite a talented lady
Loved your excitement on this one...you both were in the edge of your seats! If you’re going down this rabbit hole, ya’ ll need to check out Epica, featuring Floor Jansen, Sancta Terra (live); and ya may as well do Phantom of the Opera-Nightwish live with Tarja as the singer. \m/
Floor does have training in belconto opera. It's a Italian style of opera. She is also a self admitted vocal nerd. Every time she hears a new technique she wants to learn how to do it. Her range is absolutely incredible.
you opened a doorway to Valhalla meeting our Valkerie Queen. Entering now the world of symphonic metal. Nightwish will stunn you over and over again. Floor as a frontlady is amazing, and the band insane..don't let the word "metal" scare you off.. you will be thrilled. Welcome to the world of the Nightwish Army, guiding you and following our band. Enjoy. greets from the netherlands.
I really hope you are going to do more "beste zangers". Looking at floor but really also the other artist. And you really want to know what a great show it is (not a competition) try to get the ones with translations. Great reaction 👍
I highly recommend listening to Sarah Brightman sing this, if you haven't already. I believe she was the original Christine in Phantom. I had the privilege of seeing her live many years ago and the whole show like the audience was waiting for Phantom and she DIDN'T DO IT until the very end. Like left the stage, people thought maybe it was over then the song started... we all collectively went crazy! Also another great opera piece, the Queen of Night aria from The Magic Flute. Apparently one of the most challenging ones to do.
Floor Jansen is 185 cm tall, which is like 6ft1. Henk Poort is one of her biggest idols, she accepted her invitation to this show because he was gonna be in it, so that's probably more than acting. She's a little smitten, taller than him or not.
Floor has a Vocal Range from over 3 Octaves. from A3 to D6 i guess. Theres a CutVideo with the Note she hits onscreen. And she has a Classical Opera Training. She have every Music Style Training....So she can sing all Styles...And thats make her to the Godess of Music.
I WISH you could hear SARAH BRIGHTMAN and MICHAEL CRAWFORD sing this. They were the original Christine and Phantom. SARAH BRIGHTMAN actually sang that last note, much higher than Floor did here. Did you ever SEE the Stage Show OR the MOVIE VERSION, with Emmy Rossum, Gerard Butler, and Minnie Driver from 2004. It's the movie version of the stage show with the same music, etc by Andrew Lloyd Weber, good to watch (it's beautiful and so are the costumes) if you were never able to see it live on stage. I saw it on stage 3 times, and the movie many times and have the DVD of it too,
Phantom of the Opera is a 'musical' not a true 'opera', but yes Floor is classically trained, and it really shines here!! Please check out Floor's cover of "Shallow" on Beste Zangers too (a solo), it will move you!
There is also a performance available of the stage production. On UA-cam, but I don't think it's free. I have a Blu-ray of the production shot at the Royal Albert Hall in 2011 for the 25th anniversary of Phantom of the Opera. The only big difference is the chandelier because the building wouldn't support the chandelier used in the production.
Floor Jansen and Asia are so different and yet similar, because both are of course pretty woman. But her true beauty shines out of them from the inside. She radiates her eyes, smile and thr words. Hej BJ, you have one of the most beautiful human being at your side I have ever seen. You are great. All the best
many call 'The Phantom' an opera........actually it's an Andrew L. Webber stage musical.......doesn't matter, the story & music are beautiful.........btw, for vocalist nerds, Floor's last note is a 'D6' -- what range and sustain !
Now you definitely need to listen to Nightwish!! They are a Finnish Symphonic Metal band with none other then the Dutch Vallkary Goddess Floor Jansen singing lead. Start with Ghost Love Score from Wacken Open Air 2013. Love you reactions!!!
I always hear her name come up with videos pertaining to Lara Fabian. Therefore, I recommend Lara Fabian’s Je Suis Malade live with French and English subtitles
Haha Asia. Normally they say they have been "classically" trained which means they can sing opera. I'm not sure that Floor has ever been in an opera. On this show she did sing Vilja Lied in German for Henk which was rather fantastic though her cover of Shallow showed me what a master of her instrument she really is. No need for auto-tune there. It should be pointed out that even though it has " Oprea" in the name, it's not an opera but rather, a musical.
Floor is Classically trained, and chose not to pursue Opera. Henk is also Classically trained and was the "Phantom" for years playing in the Netherlands. Also, check out Nightwish's version of the Phantom, It is with the original Nightwish singer. There have been three Queens of Nightwish; Tarja, Annette, and Floor who is the current singer. Enjoy the ride. ;-)
Henk poort has played the phantom of the opera in the Netherlands. And floor really admired him growing up. She also told this television programme she would join if Henk would. As soon as she heard he was also joining she asked him to sing this song with him. The lightning you hear in the song is actually real lightning.
Yes. Actual thunderstorm in progress.
Andrew Lloyd Webber who wrote the play stated Henk was one of his favorite Phantom performers
@@alanfoster6589 Just Thor stopping by to hear our Valkyrie Goddess sing!

you got to that before I could comment on that. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
final note D6 for 8 secs. Floor training.

To me, FLOOR is The Queen.💥✨💫🔥
all of floors performances on beste zangers were superb.
you looked like you enjoyed it , we couldn't see it, Floor has some classical training but Floor can sing anything she has been singing for 25 years
They've had a lot of issues with videos getting blocked lately, so they are playing it safe!
She trained opera for a year :)
Floor back in the day singing O Mio Babbino Caro, gives a great showcase of her skills singing opera.
Absolutely. I expected she'd be capable of singing it, but she's such a great performer that she manages to convey the emotion of the character as well. Really impressive.
Hello Asia and BJ.
I have some info on Floor Jansen for you here.
She is married to Hannes Van Dahl, drummer of the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. Together they have a daughter. ( Freja )
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6). Re-singing style ranges from opera to screams and grunts. She usually sings in English, in addition she has also sung songs in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish.

Greetings from the Netherlands.
The US needs this kind of show. Also as fare as I know Phantom of the Opera isn't a opera, but a musical. At least if you ask the hardcore opera fans.
According to Floor, she is 183cm tall (a sneeze over 6'). She does wear heels when performing, anywhere from 2-4". However, she has stated that since turning 40, the heels may disappear (or at least, based on her very recent performances in Finland, shrink somewhat).
Floor..Beyond Beautiful & Powerful Voice!
Yup. She training in many genres. Henk is a famous Opera singer. Her mixed voice is so high. She bridges that gap to head voice like it's nothing.
The greatest duet of all time. And it was live. UN-freakin real.
Henk learned this rock grit in his voice just for Floor. He first did it on a cover of Disturbeds version of The sound of silence on this show.
From this same show.....she Opened the series ...singing the opera "Vilja Lied" for Henk. ( his mother used to sing it to him ) ....no one knew her ...she was dressed metal/goth ...and opening with a Austrian opera piece ..... you MUST watch it.
She is a vocal nerd.
She doesn't care for opera but likes the technical side of singing

Maybe in the us where people are mostly ignorant of the music outside the us, but she is very appreciated in metal around the rest of the world. There are not many pop singers who can do what she can (if at all).

Ok, so this is a Dutch show called “Beste Zangers”, which means Best singers or Dear singers. Every season shows 7 artists from completely different backgrounds; singers who were big in the 80’s, very young singers who are doing covers on UA-cam, and everything in between. They all have different genres: Pop, rock, jazz, classical, hip hop, you name it. Every artist gets one episode where the other artist from their season sing one of this artist’s songs, one of this artists favourite songs, or something from their genre. That creates all sorts of wonderful performances. In the last episode, several singers team up for duets, such as this one. Check more out of this show!
Floor is Great like I haven't heard in decades.
Floor trained at the Dutch Rock Academy & Conservatorium Tilburg mostly in musical theatre, but, also studied a year of opera. She IS tall, she's just over 6 foot.
Opera is done in a special building with no amplification (none needed because the building is acoustically designed for it). Floor Jansen and Henk Poort are both classically trained (including operatic training). They are using parts of their classical training here. Floor is also metal trained. She helped Henk Poort in that fashion. Henk played the Phantom in the Netherlands stage performances of Phantom of the Opera. Phantom of the Opera is not an opera, it's a musical about an opera singer.
Glad you enjoyed it now please react to Nightwish The phantom of the Opera Live from the end of an era DVD featuring Taria and Marco on vocals.
So this is something I just recently came across and absolutely blown away. I am in love with nightwish. I have every one of their CDs. This is just amazing from beginning to end I play it everyday when I get home from work
Hi there, such a nice couple! You´ve just witnessed the most versatile
female singer of our time. Yes Floor is unknown in USA. I think that
USA is a place where they don´t make much new in music industry
today. I guess the reason is, that in the USA you like it "home woven".
But in the way it is done, there is not much room for progress in the USA.
Metal music lovers all over the world know what Nightwish and
Floor Jansen are all about.
But anyway it was fine to watch you guys reacting, and to hear
your comments. Thank you.
Take care.
Floor is with Nightwish now. That opens the door for a lot of reviews. But yes she is a trained opera singer. She is probably the most complete singer in music. Yes she is tall. But she can hit every note no matter what kinda song and its amazing. Then add in nightwish type of rock and your in for a journey. But if i had to pick a handful of singers in the world of all genres. She would be top 3 if not 1.
Floor is around 6' 2"...others have already said it but she is a classically trained singer. I've seen Nightwish in person and she just dominates the stage with her presence. Henk learned how to do a Metal growl just for Floor.
Now shes 6-2? Shes 6 ft. or 1.83 meters.
@@paulriddle7818 , I thought Floor said she's 2 meters 60 :D
@@paulriddle7818 6' is correct. 6'2" is correct too, with 2" heels ;)
The man she is singing with is Henk Poort, the Dutch Phantom of the Opera. Floor is classically trained as well. She's also 6'1
This is my first time hearing this it's really cool. Another great song is jeff buckley hallelujah
❤ Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013 is a MUST!!!!!!!!!!! ❤
hi guys floor is just over 6ft tall and is trained opera and teaches vocals to others most people dont no but floor speaks 4 other languages too quite a talented lady
Opera singer Maria Feselier sings cover of Emimen: Lose you self! Also from Beste Zangers 2018
Loved your excitement on this one...you both were in the edge of your seats! If you’re going down this rabbit hole, ya’ ll need to check out Epica, featuring Floor Jansen, Sancta Terra (live); and ya may as well do Phantom of the Opera-Nightwish live with Tarja as the singer. \m/
Floor does have training in belconto opera. It's a Italian style of opera. She is also a self admitted vocal nerd. Every time she hears a new technique she wants to learn how to do it. Her range is absolutely incredible.
The very best version of the Phantom of the Opera live Nightwish With the original singer Tarja. It’s mind blowing. Rock opera.
Floor can do opera to metal growling( demon voice singing)
Definitely check out all of Floor Jansen and Henk Poort perfmances on Beste zangers and Floor jansen UA-cam channel 😀
Guys this is the same singer from your Ghost Love Score & StoryTime reactions of Nightwish & Euphoria
FYI there was no video just a very faint image
you opened a doorway to Valhalla meeting our Valkerie Queen. Entering now the world of symphonic metal. Nightwish will stunn you over and over again. Floor as a frontlady is amazing, and the band insane..don't let the word "metal" scare you off.. you will be thrilled. Welcome to the world of the Nightwish Army, guiding you and following our band. Enjoy. greets from the netherlands.
No video?????
Floor trained in Opera? Absolutly and Floor is trained in almost every music Genre.
If you like duets in the Symphonic metal opera style you should react to Dark Sarah - Dance With the Dragon feat. JP Leppaluoto.
Greatest version of all time, great rockyish performance!
I really hope you are going to do more "beste zangers". Looking at floor but really also the other artist. And you really want to know what a great show it is (not a competition) try to get the ones with translations. Great reaction 👍
I highly recommend listening to Sarah Brightman sing this, if you haven't already. I believe she was the original Christine in Phantom. I had the privilege of seeing her live many years ago and the whole show like the audience was waiting for Phantom and she DIDN'T DO IT until the very end. Like left the stage, people thought maybe it was over then the song started... we all collectively went crazy!
Also another great opera piece, the Queen of Night aria from The Magic Flute. Apparently one of the most challenging ones to do.
Floor Jansen is 185 cm tall, which is like 6ft1. Henk Poort is one of her biggest idols, she accepted her invitation to this show because he was gonna be in it, so that's probably more than acting. She's a little smitten, taller than him or not.
Floor has a Vocal Range from over 3 Octaves. from A3 to D6 i guess. Theres a CutVideo with the Note she hits onscreen. And she has a Classical Opera Training. She have every Music Style Training....So she can sing all Styles...And thats make her to the Godess of Music.
Love you guys !!
Great reaction! You definitely have to explore more Nightwish
we will, also, happy to see this duet
Wow, Love it !!
You should also look into epica with floor doing sancta terra
I WISH you could hear SARAH BRIGHTMAN and MICHAEL CRAWFORD sing this. They were the original Christine and Phantom. SARAH BRIGHTMAN actually sang that last note, much higher than Floor did here. Did you ever SEE the Stage Show OR the MOVIE VERSION, with Emmy Rossum, Gerard Butler, and Minnie Driver from 2004. It's the movie version of the stage show with the same music, etc by Andrew Lloyd Weber, good to watch (it's beautiful and so are the costumes) if you were never able to see it live on stage. I saw it on stage 3 times, and the movie many times and have the DVD of it too,
Phantom of the Opera is a 'musical' not a true 'opera', but yes Floor is classically trained, and it really shines here!!
Please check out Floor's cover of "Shallow" on Beste Zangers too (a solo), it will move you!
I can never unhear Gérard Butler voice singing this 😂 Absolutely love this play and movie!
There is also a performance available of the stage production. On UA-cam, but I don't think it's free. I have a Blu-ray of the production shot at the Royal Albert Hall in 2011 for the 25th anniversary of Phantom of the Opera. The only big difference is the chandelier because the building wouldn't support the chandelier used in the production.
Best duet ever !
She's the lead singer for Nightwish...you did her ghost/love/score
Floor Jansen and Asia are so different and yet similar, because both are of course pretty woman. But her true beauty shines out of them from the inside. She radiates her eyes, smile and thr words. Hej BJ, you have one of the most beautiful human being at your side I have ever seen.
You are great. All the best
For reference, Floor's 6ft. She's a tall bird. But her hubby, Hammerfall's drummer, is 6'3".
❤❤❤ this reaction. ❤
Yes! Waken 2013!! Warning... Army and Floorgasmesss...
Beste zangers Floor Jansen vilja lied
the original. the OG. Sarah Brightman. Don't sleep. Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the whole play to showcase her range.
She is the goddess of metal and I can suggest ghost love score from nightwish for you to react. 👻❤️🤘😁
many call 'The Phantom' an opera........actually it's an Andrew L. Webber stage musical.......doesn't matter, the story & music are beautiful.........btw, for vocalist nerds, Floor's last note is a 'D6' -- what range and sustain !
OH. MY. GOD.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!!!!!! ❤😍
FLOOR AND HENK
ARE AMAZING 🤍🧡🤍💫
Yeah floor Jansen is definitely opera-trained. You should check out her other videos. Especially to videos she did but the band called Epica.
Glad you got to see this performance! It was stunning.
Now you definitely need to listen to Nightwish!! They are a Finnish Symphonic Metal band with none other then the Dutch Vallkary Goddess Floor Jansen singing lead. Start with Ghost Love Score from Wacken Open Air 2013. Love you reactions!!!
I always hear her name come up with videos pertaining to Lara Fabian. Therefore, I recommend Lara Fabian’s Je Suis Malade live with French and English subtitles
Pity we couldn't see the video!!
Henk is the GOAT
Floor actually asked for Henk to be on the show, he was her hero
Haha Asia. Normally they say they have been "classically" trained which means they can sing opera. I'm not sure that Floor has ever been in an opera. On this show she did sing Vilja Lied in German for Henk which was rather fantastic though her cover of Shallow showed me what a master of her instrument she really is. No need for auto-tune there.
It should be pointed out that even though it has " Oprea" in the name, it's not an opera but rather, a musical.
Enjoyed, thumbs up 👍
Floor is Classically trained, and chose not to pursue Opera. Henk is also Classically trained and was the "Phantom" for years playing in the Netherlands. Also, check out Nightwish's version of the Phantom, It is with the original Nightwish singer. There have been three Queens of Nightwish; Tarja, Annette, and Floor who is the current singer. Enjoy the ride. ;-)
Floor is fangirling hard on this one
Absolutely, Floor Jansen has classical training. Even a goddess needs classes😀
Floor is definitely classically opera trained
Yes she is agreat opera singer
Best singer in the world floor❤️
Floor is the best from Holland 😍
God Bless you guys
Like your stuff.
But now you know.
