Floor said in one of her posts..She never mimes she always sings what you see..So its just good editing for the cameras .She can sing in any position as you can see from hows the heart acoustic she is sitting as well.
Oh, i do think she is singing, not miming. But there are at least 2 takes, one with the static and one with the moving camera. If the audio comes from one of those takes or from a third i don't know.
I'm guessing she records a version off-camera that is the main audio, but is also singing during video recording but that track is muted in the final product.
The perfect description: “Floor has the ability to caress a lyric or sound”. So simple yet so complex. The emotion evolves more each time I watch / listen to this.
I’ve listened to this song for years (I’m an 80s guy ) ...even in the After Forever version the emotion in this is so much more. You can really hear the longing and almost desperation in her voice that the lyrics convey. Her vocal control is the most impressive thing for me ...she can keep everything on pitch even at end of long runs with both high and low notes. And yes, Joost’s piano work is absolutely stunning. Can’t wait to hear what those 2 have put together for her solo album.
Not sure if she's recording from the rocking chair or not, but I have no doubt she could, and sound just as perfect. After all, we all saw her sing How's The Heart? from a seated position with no loss of her unlimited power.
Hi Christi, the grand piano player is maestro Joost van den Broek, he has a degree in music and is a close friend of Floor. Besides musician, he is composer for several bands, for example Epica, and he was a member of Floor's former band After Forever.. Greetings from NL.
This performance is excellent in all ways. Beautiful setting and camerawork. Piano provided by her long time collaborator Joost van den Broek. Even I could notice the delightful use of vibrato there. But all'n'all I'm so biased, because Floor owns my weary Heart 💗. Wonderful analysis, thank you. ⛄👍
The pianist is the amazingly talented Joost Van Den Broek. You can check him out in any Ayreon song. I specifically recommend Everybody Dies from the Ayreon universe concert.
No matter were Floor is in her range the color and warmth of her voice is pleasant to my ear. Her talent is evident, but there are very talented singers that I can't always listen to, not the case with Floor.
Hannes and Floor are working at home with limited video equipment so they're doing multiple takes and splicing them together in post. That results in small sync issues showing up here and there. The important thing to understand is that she is singing on all takes, otherwise the syncing up process would get very tedious. I think they're working with only one camera and using multiple takes. The pianist is Joost Van Den Broek who she has worked with in her early band.
@@DrSkeff Those versions are so close I had to go back to that AF track to see it's been dusted off o meet all those requests after Let It Go. The piano track just might be, as Joost gets the credit for music on the original post and arrangement is so very close, if not identical. The vocals are probably different enough, I think, to be from a dozen years later....It's definitely been Floor's "go-to" over the years.
@@npinjest7779 I actually think it might be the same. Floor's voice has certainly changed in the years since she did this with After Forever. 13 years takes its toll but she can STILL deliver an even better version.
🤔 I think she is able to sing this sitting down. The acoustic version of how is the heart shows what she is capable of singing sitting down. Though on this one maybe your right. The pianist is Joost van Den Broek i believe they know each other since After for Ever.
I think so too, she isn't using even a fraction of her power. She often sits on the drum riser and sings during concerts. She knows how to maintain her posture perfectly while seated.
and Floor has proven it again - she is the goddess of emotions. And - once again, she knew how to cover a song that is much closer to the lyrics than the original. She has recognized the potential of this piece, it is a beautiful ballad that - when performed as Floor did - can arouse great emotions.
The pianist is Joost van den Broek, he re-recorded the his piano track I guess in the Netherlands in his studio. It sounds very much like his Steinway from the studio. He was also the keyboarder of After Forever where both already recorded a piano version of the same song. He is also the live keyboarder of the Ayreon live shows and records the big names like Epica, Powerwolf, etc. Plus he is a really nice and haloful guy. I had the chance to meet him a few times and he‘s really down to earth and an amazing artist. Btw he is knighted by the dutch royals. A real knight in the piano 😉
I've watched this video a few times over the last couple of days. It's fantastic. Floor is spectacular once again. I know that you will love it. Can't wait for your breakdown of the song.
@@darkiee69 Im not saying there are not effects, please read....im saying "full with layers or effects Just clean". And besides that, i dont agree with you. It depends what type of microphone and the place you record the sounds. Its a whole other discussion how, as engineer, you want the sound get into your computer. But you just need to agree, its very clean/minimum.
Interesting thought about whether she's recording from a seated position. My thought is that regardless, she is more than capable of singing exactly this powerfully from a seated position (as she'd shown in some live performances). Wonderful rendition of this song, and indeed she manages to make it a completely new song with a fresh perspective. Love it that she is so incredibly generous with her UA-cam performances, to allow people to enjoy her talent during these times when live shows are curtailed. Great reaction, Christi. Yes, seriously, she IS a shapeshifter vocally. This is an apt description of her masterful use of her talent and artistry. Rock solid everywhere indeed! Also, CONGRATS again for the 50K!! So well deserved!
Heart (Ann & Nancy Wilson) has been my favorite band for as long as I can remember until I heard this woman sing about a year and a half ago. I've heard the great Ann Wilson perform this song countless numbers of times. I prefer a more "rock-ish" version to this version Floor has done. This doesn't in any way take away from Floor's performance here. It is out of this world, crazy good and this is why Floor is now my favorite singer.
Amazing ! THIS song is one of my very favorite songs, and I'm a huge Heart fan...from the 70's til Now. But FLOOR has totally deepened the desperation and passion with her incredible talent !!! Beautiful ❤️ ! Wonderful Reaction and breakdown ! Enjoyed this SO much !!!
On grand piano you have Joost van den Broek, who was member of Floor’s 1st group After Forever and also collaborates with Arjen Anthony Lucassen project Ayreon. Floor also guests on Ayreon. ❤️🤘🇦🇺
...and I guess he needed to mail his audio track due to the current travel restrictions and yes, he would be seen on the footage else for sure. This home-made video was probably made by her husband Hannes using semi-professional gear, which could also explain the asynchronicity from audio and video track at the cuts, which is difficult to handle, even if she did the recording in their barn, because if someone can do this in a seated position, it will be Floor.
@@MacZussie Could even be the original After Forever piano track ?? Just been listening to them all and her voice has definitely changed over the years, well we're going back 13 years at least.
This big girl is using her voice like a bagpipe. She is really really good at it. Also her control is amazing. Classic voice training has also it's part in this. No shame in using your attributes, giving us so many amazing songs.
As I've said elsewhere: this cover makes me appreciate both Ann Wilson and Floor for entirely different things. The original version is (IMHO) also pretty dang impressive. Hearing Floor having to properly 'bring it' to make this awesome cover also shows this is not the easiest of songs.
The basic difference between this version and Heart's version is the fact that this version is stripped down to the piano and voice. Heart's version is much closer to the original, done is a power ballad style. Ann changed up some of the phrasing in the pre-chorus. Floor takes Ann's phrasing, and she and Joost just perform the most basic interpretation you could imagine. If you did it with acoustic guitar, I don't think you'd get the same effect or emotion from it. The arrangement is amazing, the performances are stunning, and I can't hear it too many times.
@@robertkennedy5414 What about Hearts 2016 Royal Albert Hall version? Well it's stripped down to piano/voice as well, and 2007 acoustic live was stripped down to acoustic guitar/vocals. The real difference is that in 2016 in the closest version Ann is almost 70 years old and still hits the notes with emotion and grace.
She has that capability to emulate almost any tone and level. It's like being born a frog, you can just jump far. You don't need to be taught how, you just "have it going on". Personally her finest output is her delivery of Nightwish especially the material written by Tuomas for her lead vocals.
This basically follows the piano based version she did with her original band, After Forever. Joost van den Broek playing the beautiful piano part. He's writing songs with Floor for her solo album.
I'll say this, because I haven't seen it said anywhere else yet. Does anyone else want to see a duet with Ann and Floor? Even a mash-up wouldn't do it justice.
It would be awesome to see you react to Floor's "Oi Jouluyö', it's a Christmas carol (Finnish "O Holy Night', I believe), so it would be perfect for December :) Also, she sang it while visibly pregnant, so it might be even more interesting to check out! Here's the link, if anyone's interested: ua-cam.com/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/v-deo.html
Please note that I am not here because of how beautiful Christi looks, not at all! Oh, and I also appreciate the professional way you break down the songs. 🙃
You aught to look up "Ann Wilson Alone wails montage" its a collection of her live performances specifically at that belt. Floor does it well, but ill always have a spot in my heart for Ann's performance.
Yes, and Floors version here is a close adaption of Ann's 2016 performance at Royal Albert Hall - just the grace of the almost 70-year old Lady then is incomparable and unbeatable. Floors version is excellent, but Ann's grain, emotion and grace ... ♥
Yeah her hubby works the one camera and another one is fixed in place. And yep she sings seated like in Beste Zangers and Hows the Heart , to name two.
You can see some tension in her throat when she's singing....it's hard to see because she's singing so effortlessly. Now, whether they are using some mixing with another track would take someone with more knowledge than I. But I can see she is singing in the recording. Either way..holy hell. Floor is just so ....incredible.....
I don't know what people are talking about with the "soft vocals" on the last one. Maybe it's because I always listen with headphones, but it sounds great to me. I wonder if it's simply all the "saturation" on the vocals that people don't like? It gives it a slightly warmer and less piercing quality.
loved the reaction, tnx. i'm sure she knows her vocals will be picked apart when she releases her covers, pretty brave to do it, hehe. new one on saturday, not in english, hope for a swedish one, hehe.
Tommy johansson covers this song and he does a fantastic job, you should add it to your list for a reaction. You will not be disappointed also he's guitarist in Sabaton
She is seated. Remember, she is probably taller seated in that chair than you are standing. And the mic is doing some work here too. That's why her mouth is about 12 -16 inches away from the mic. Her minimum air pressure due to her immense physicality is 5 - 10 times the average female vocalist. She dose not need the level of control and training that most would require to reach her output level and quality. She is a natural born Valkyrie! There are plenty of people with her genetics from her region, but not too many pursue being a trained vocalist/performer. Her closest equal may perhaps be Amy Lee from Evenescense.
She's definitely not really recording. In my experience as a musician, that's just not how these things are done. Also, if you look at her lips they don't line up with the vocals. Anyway, I love your channel. I love your format of listening once and then going back and analyzing.
Congratulations, you deserve them, I would be happy to listen to a song of Argentine folklore, a chamame song and if you can make a reaction on you tube "manuel moreira u nahuel pennisi oracion del remanso" a beautiful and strange way of playing is worth it from rosario argentina greetings and congratulations
Biggest clue for me that the audio is a separate take from the video is that she's not wearing headphones or in-ear monitors. They'd have had a tough time mixing it if there were a playback speaker in the room with her. The piano track would be bleeding onto the vocal track and that would cause all sorts of problems at mix-time. Regardless, this is a wonderful video and performance, and your reaction and analysis as always are spot-on!
Haven’t you seen music videos? They are all lip syncing since forever. This is no different, a recorded song with a music video of it. Not a big deal. Is still her voice you are listening. The mics and instruments are props on any music video.
In my opinion is quite sure that she is singing along a pre-recorded track (does not change anything on how great she has sung the song btw). Look at the surrounding. The acoustics in wooden huts usually are not that good for good recordings. You probably would need an acoustic engineer doing miracles. Other option would be a recording studio with greenscreen.
i think she pre recorded it and sang it for this vid. with the mic. off.... because, it looks so real, i think it would be def. the easiest way...grts from a dutch cheesehead in Germany
The one "complaint" I have is that Floor sings the lyrics just 'too nicely', like speaking out the words too polished. If she is actually that down or so heartbroken, I'd expect a (slightly) less detailed pronunciation of words. Just my $0.02.
Hmm I dunno, I lot of this stuff sounds too over produced.. Nightwish's new album really suffes from its clinical feel.... She one of the top female singers in the world right now, but someone's not doing her justice. Good analysis though Christi xx
@@ChrisPage68 That's true. Another interesting fact is that it was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. You can search for their credits on wikipedia, it's HUGE.
I didn't know.. it was cool listening to the original, thanks for the link also, I'd like to leave my favorite version someone might find it enjoyable too =P ua-cam.com/video/gWiPu9xbGr0/v-deo.html
Well ok, you have convinced me , that wasn’t exactly live recording but I do think that most of it was. I mean when Floors hands rise when she’s controlling her remarkable voice that’s a natural reaction , right ?, I know nothing about singing, i just love Floor Jansens voice. She is probably the greatest singer in the last .... 30 years?! I can’t think of anyone with such a versatile and powerful voice, live or in studio. Oh I must say that you have amazingly wonderful blue eyes 😊
Heart' s version was actually a cover , original was a group called I-Ten.. I love Floor's stripped back version. Thank you for a great and knowledgable reaction ..
Yup hate it when these covers do better than the original and no credit is given to the writers (even though they get the money) Joan Jett's 1982 cover of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" written in 1975 by Alan Merrill for the Arrows. Then you have my favourite songwriter whose songs always are hits when covered Russ Ballard who wrote, "New York Groove", "You Can Do Magic", "Since You Been Gone", "I Surrender", "So You Win Again" and "God Gave Rock and Roll to You".
@@clansome Heart did give credit to I-Ten on the album, but this was obviously a cover of Hearts cover as she used Ann's vocal style when she recorded it.
Indeed, but we also change words along with gender, so it would be: bravissimA! (Accent on the first "i", the final "a" pronounced as in cAr) Greetings from Italy! 👋🇮🇹🖖
Another great reaction :) Your comments on the singing position made me think of another video by another great singer, showing some really extreme singing postures: Lara Fabian with Dites-moi pourqoui je l'aime - 1998 live performance: ua-cam.com/video/-85T-iR7dfc/v-deo.html
Floor's interpretive skills are even greater than her incredible vocal ability. Her vocal skills are simply the tools used to tell a story, to evoke an emotional response. A masterful communicator. Always enjoy your insight.
I am very sure she is singing this sitting down. She did the same many times live on stage, and more recently even on "How's the heart".
Get your eyes tested
@Dave Madigan Pretty sure the response was to the OP - since there was no reply to you personally ;)
Floor said in one of her posts..She never mimes she always sings what you see..So its just good editing for the cameras .She can sing in any position as you can see from hows the heart acoustic she is sitting as well.

Hi im from Indonesia, i love ur video reaction, stay healthy n success for ur channel 😊☺👋
A vocaly chameleon andshapeshifter? Now that makes sense!

She is seated. Remember, she is probably taller seated in that chair than you are standing. And the mic is doing some work here too. That's why her mouth is about 12 -16 inches away from the mic. Her minimum air pressure due to her immense physicality is 5 - 10 times the average female vocalist. She dose not need the level of control and training that most would require to reach her output level and quality. She is a natural born Valkyrie! There are plenty of people with her genetics from her region, but not too many pursue being a trained vocalist/performer. Her closest equal may perhaps be Amy Lee from Evenescense.
In a barn somewere in the Swedish forests 😀
if I were a vocal coach Floor would be my textbook.
She's definitely not really recording. In my experience as a musician, that's just not how these things are done. Also, if you look at her lips they don't line up with the vocals. Anyway, I love your channel. I love your format of listening once and then going back and analyzing.
Congratulations, you deserve them, I would be happy to listen to a song of Argentine folklore, a chamame song and if you can make a reaction on you tube "manuel moreira u nahuel pennisi oracion del remanso" a beautiful and strange way of playing is worth it from rosario argentina greetings and congratulations
Biggest clue for me that the audio is a separate take from the video is that she's not wearing headphones or in-ear monitors. They'd have had a tough time mixing it if there were a playback speaker in the room with her. The piano track would be bleeding onto the vocal track and that would cause all sorts of problems at mix-time. Regardless, this is a wonderful video and performance, and your reaction and analysis as always are spot-on!
I Ten cover...😉
Listen to Beste Zangers 2018, 2020 and 2021.....
If she was not recording live, why show the mic? Most would not show a mic. They would make more eye contact with audience. But anything is possible.
Haven’t you seen music videos? They are all lip syncing since forever. This is no different, a recorded song with a music video of it. Not a big deal. Is still her voice you are listening.
The mics and instruments are props on any music video.
In my opinion is quite sure that she is singing along a pre-recorded track (does not change anything on how great she has sung the song btw). Look at the surrounding. The acoustics in wooden huts usually are not that good for good recordings. You probably would need an acoustic engineer doing miracles. Other option would be a recording studio with greenscreen.
i think she pre recorded it and sang it for this vid. with the mic. off.... because, it looks so real, i think it would be def. the easiest way...grts from a dutch cheesehead in Germany
Actually Hear cover the song, originalnis from the band I10
Hi ! Can you react to DLG & Huey Dunbar to the La quiero a morir song, please? Thanks ✌❤
I would hope her voice is nice and clear with that $6000 microphone.
"She is a shape shifter vocally".....some one here is a Star Trek fan...LOL
She is a X woman singer :)

The one "complaint" I have is that Floor sings the lyrics just 'too nicely', like speaking out the words too polished.
If she is actually that down or so heartbroken, I'd expect a (slightly) less detailed pronunciation of words. Just my $0.02.
Hmm I dunno, I lot of this stuff sounds too over produced.. Nightwish's new album really suffes from its clinical feel.... She one of the top female singers in the world right now, but someone's not doing her justice.
Good analysis though Christi xx
The lack of headphones tells me that the video was recorded after the song.
G*d created beauty...
LOL She's a Lycan"throat" ....
its joost i wonder if its the same guy of the aryeon songs
Credit where it's due, the song is originally from a band called I-Ten. Heart version was already a cover. ua-cam.com/video/ONuYXeZdCNw/v-deo.html
Yes, but they would acknowledge Heart popularised it.
@@ChrisPage68 That's true. Another interesting fact is that it was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. You can search for their credits on wikipedia, it's HUGE.
I didn't know.. it was cool listening to the original, thanks for the link
also, I'd like to leave my favorite version someone might find it enjoyable too =P

She's is giving us fans Christmas gifts of her singing covers while she can't perform live. I can't wait to see what she does next.
on floors channel you can send in requests :) maybe your lucky that she picks yours
@@ridgundd7932 Maybe! :)
It's almost like a "Floor Jansen Advent Calendar". :-)
@@tifosinh Exactly. :)
Has she done O Holy Night ?
Floors vocal cords are connected to her heart and tugging on ours
There may also be a connection to the eyes. Mine keep leaking.
Well ok, you have convinced me , that wasn’t exactly live recording but I do think that most of it was. I mean when Floors hands rise when she’s controlling her remarkable voice that’s a natural reaction , right ?, I know nothing about singing, i just love Floor Jansens voice. She is probably the greatest singer in the last .... 30 years?! I can’t think of anyone with such a versatile and powerful voice, live or in studio. Oh I must say that you have amazingly wonderful blue eyes 😊
While Floor sings the angelic choir is silent and listens !
50K - great Crismas present for You - and analyse it this for us is a present to us 💝
Heart' s version was actually a cover , original was a group called I-Ten.. I love Floor's stripped back version. Thank you for a great and knowledgable reaction ..
Yup hate it when these covers do better than the original and no credit is given to the writers (even though they get the money) Joan Jett's 1982 cover of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" written in 1975 by Alan Merrill for the Arrows. Then you have my favourite songwriter whose songs always are hits when covered Russ Ballard who wrote, "New York Groove", "You Can Do Magic", "Since You Been Gone", "I Surrender", "So You Win Again" and "God Gave Rock and Roll to You".
@@clansome Heart did give credit to I-Ten on the album, but this was obviously a cover of Hearts cover as she used Ann's vocal style when she recorded it.
@@Duskwind_ I agree, and it's very close to Anns performance 2016 at Royal Albert Hall - aged almost 70 then ♥
Great choice Christi, as my Italian neighbors would say bravissimo !
Indeed, but we also change words along with gender, so it would be: bravissimA! (Accent on the first "i", the final "a" pronounced as in cAr)
Greetings from Italy!
👋🇮🇹🖖
Mea culpa, greetings from Croatia 👍!
It's like a vocal class about a vocal class 😍😍😍
Another great reaction :)
Your comments on the singing position made me think of another video by another great singer, showing some really extreme singing postures: Lara Fabian with Dites-moi pourqoui je l'aime - 1998 live performance: ua-cam.com/video/-85T-iR7dfc/v-deo.html
Floor's interpretive skills are even greater than her incredible vocal ability. Her vocal skills are simply the tools used to tell a story, to evoke an emotional response. A masterful communicator. Always enjoy your insight.
