she was very choosy on the songs she picked as she want a song that would fit her and she could twist to her style and in way she is a genius she makes it hers own what ever the song is its hers now and emma hamsters the youttuber from the show i hope she learns to do that as well as she has a great voice as well
Hello Christi - that was the evening when the South American factions in the Nightwish groups exploded. Nobody expected Floor to be able to sing in Spanish. She did - and according to her statement she insisted on singing in Spanish to do something for the South American Nightwish fans. There is no need to say anything about her quality - above any doubt, as always. Although, she had said in advance that this was the most difficult gig for her - foreign language and a genre that is so completely out of her focus, she really had to bite - but with the help of the band she managed to do it very well.
And let's face it, shying away from a song or a version of it because you don't know the language is not what really good European singers do. And we know she's *good*.
Happy to see another fan of Floor, somehow no matter what she sings she draws you in and makes you fall in love with her voice and her. I for one cant stop watching her and reaction videos because seeing someone else get joy from listening and watching is so satisfying. Thanks for doing your reactions.
It's June 2021 and I've been watching your entire Floor playlist. I've watched a ton of reaction videos about Floor and absolutely love your comments and take on her performances. I love that you show emotion too. My late father was a singer and always showed emotion when he sang.
@Kristina THANK YOU, beautiful soul! I so appreciate your kind comment today. It means more than you know. I hope you are carrying on your father's legacy and are singing, too! Blessings, friend. 💜
Very nice to hear your comments; your enthusiasm is infectious and simply very nice to watch. Floor is beyond great and you are so right to appreciate the band; they are all the best of the best. That’s why this is a very populair show in the Netherlands. To become surprised by known singers who sing each other songs and show what their able to; they step out of their comfort zone. I must say; I didn’t know Floor Jansen, but now i’m a big fan. Keep up your lovely work and gretigs from Holland!
Listen to the original. It is on YT. It is a proper Salsa style song. Floor did it in a rock style. She really gave it her own treatment. P. S. She cannot speak Spanish. She just learned the song and the way she did it shows another level of her true professionalism.
I never knew about this show before this season exploded with the "Phantom of the Opera" and so on, but I have to say that I've never seen a show where the singers: a. sing to each other, b. celebrate each other's songs, c. seem so genuinely generous with their own art and others' interpretations and exploration of it. It is just absolutely exquisitely ART. In the best way possible. Floor's cover of this song is just pure delight. She is a vocal chameleon while remaining true to her style and beautiful performances, no matter where and what she sings and does in her performances (I don't know anything about her personal life, so I don't much about that at all, but my sense is that she's a lovely, soulful person in 'real life' outside of shows, too. (BTW, thanks for the extra 'reaction treat' in a mid-week video! FUN!)
You ain't kidding Christie - that band is just phenomenal! We knew what to expect with Floor, a goddess-like performance...but that band?!? Huge surprise throughout the entire show. They just crushed whatever they were playing!!!
In the same show, in this chapter, all audience was moved to tears for the Mr. Henk's interpretation, was beautiful, He sings a song about the Roy's grandmother. The song was "Noelia".
"Rolf's Reactions" should be its own channel, he was just wonderful to watch enjoy the other singers' talents. The original song was in regaeton style, find Rolf's original and it is amazing. I would think as an artist if you weren't performing your material you would want to hear others takes on it and even if they did it 'better' (All Along the Watchtower comes to mind) it is a tribute to the original artist who created the music.
Also can i suggest you as a Floor and maybe NW fan to listen to dead boys poem from the Buenos Aires 2018 concert. Floor does a killer performance on one of the most beautifull Nightwish songs.
What Can't This Woman Sing 🤔🤔 Floor is Brilliant 👏👏 She Has a Solo Album Coming Out In March 2023 Can't Wait For it ! Nightwish Disciple From Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 🏄♂️🏖
Great review and reaction. First, the band must love her as she puts her metal spin on each song, here turning a salsa song into her Floor 2.0 version. Second, she learned this for Rolf as well as all her Spanish speaking fans especially those in South America where they are nuts for her (I believe this actually charted in some countries in South America). Lastly, another stunning performance (German Aria, Dutch Folk and now Spanish Salsa), even her die-heart fans couldn't believe how she performed on this TV show week in and week out. As for being herself good for Floor and she took full advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate her vocal skills to a wider audience and finally got some well deserved and long overdo recognition in her homeland. Here without Nightwish she demonstrated what an incredible vocalist she truly is and when you put her with Nightwish, especially LIVE you understand why you experience them not merely hear them. The studio band was fantastic when you consider how many different genres they had to cover during this 8 week run and all the different artists they had to back up. Also no competition just real respect and enjoyment of each others music, real entertainment and the reason we all miss this show now that it is over.
Studio bands in this concept of reality TV series must be insanely good. I believe "Vain Elämää" in Finland is based on the same Dutch(?) concept. Like reality TVs often work - when someone invents a good concept they sell it around. In Finland what helped the studio musicians is of course being a country of metal. If you can perform a wide variety of metal songs, you have to be *good* with your instrument, so even when stepping to a new genre the basics are already there.
When I discovered this song, I was so amazed that I repeated it like 20 times in a row 😁 She was so pasioned and she truly understood the lyrics, she's a great singer!! 🙌👏👏👏👏👏🌹
You said you like the band; they are the Marcel Fisser band and the lead-guitar player is Marcel he is the leader of this fantastic band This band is often asked to accompany singers in the Netherlands , when they perform on TV.
As a latina fan, I was very, very happy to hear her singing in Spanish ❤❤ for a non Spanish speaker, her pronunciation is pretty great, there's nothing she can't sing, really
Rolf and Samantha became close friends with Floor while filming the show and would often surprise Floor with desserts in her suite. It is quite a dichotomy watching Floor and Samantha interact. Floor's calm, pleasant demeanor really meshes well with Samantha's raucous, fireball personality. I kinda get the impression that Samantha developed a little bit of a crush on Floor.
She's such a powerhouse, and when backed by a band like that, she can do anything she wants. I love how you pretty much always point out the band as well, they deserve equal praise to Floor, they are just that dang good. (i've not heard anything by them yet, that wasnt perfect) This song kinda broke the South-Americas for a few days, with this song soaring to the top of the itunes charts in several countries, within hours after its release, she has fans, lots and lots of fans ;) I love how she changed this song from Reggaeton to Spanish rock, it reminded me of "Heroes del Silencio" in more than one way, i loved it! Ty for the upload Christi :)
@@ppkoning Yes they do, do that often. However she doesn't speak Spanish. Floor and her Sister looked it up phonetically. And put it together. Which makes her singing it properly is very impressive.
I love Floor, but the absolute gem of this whole season was that friggin' band! They were so awesome. How many bands can back up Floor and just whip up all the fanciful takes on stuff any of them want to do? Seriously awesome. This was absolutely my favorite song of the whole show, because it sounds like I bought it at the record shop or something. It's that good. I mean seriously so good. Kudos you thrashers. We love you unsung heroes behind the Valkyrie herself :)
Wonderful analysis as usual, and you've said a few things that I've said about Floor as well over the years--especially the "kid in a candy store" comment. She's like that *every* time she's on stage, for the last 20 years! BTW, she thought so much of this band that she's taking them on tour...first date in about a week (23rd, iirc).
I have a feeling Floor would approve of and appreciate your responses to her work. I remember an interview quite awhile back where she was asked about reaction channels. She made a somewhat dark remark about "some vocal coaches." Clearly, she felt that some people were misrepresenting their (and her) profession. Truthfully, we all know she's right about that. I think, however, you would be amongst very few she would support. Your obvious love of the music, and the person behind that music's performance, make you authentic. Floor likes authenticity.
What a lovely comment. I would be so honored if that ever happened. I have mad respect for Floor (obviously!). She deserves every success because of her incredible work ethic which translate into sublime abilities. I'm excited to see where her career takes her next. Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me. I've loved hearing from you today. 💖
@@luiscarlosgutierrezlopez2984 Yes! I'm pretty sure we are referencing the same interview. I love how she can eviscerate the posers with just the subtlest of statements. I like that she doesn't take anyone's shit either. She's so lovely and modest and gracious; it baffles me that anyone ever gives her grief.
Me encanta...que mucho dinero le espera a esta cantantante en el mercado latinoamericano si perfecciona la pronunciación del español...me encanta su voz y su estilo...yo también estuviese ahí aplaudiendo totalmente emocionado...un poquito más de énfasis en la pronunciación y sería perfecta.... thumbs up
I get what you’re saying about how she “molds” her voice. It’s one of my favorite things about her how malleable her voice is and how much absolute control over it she has. She can change up the tone and timbre of her voice in an instant, and it gives her performances so much flavor.
I believe this song shot to #1 in South America? Floor’s first #1? Personally, I downloaded it the instant it was available. Great song & great rendition by Floor. Shoutout to the band as well. They were the unsung heroes of Beste Zangers. Phenomenal group of musicians & singers.
Well, I KNOW it made #1 in the Netherlands on Spotify that week, anyway! Floor managed that feat three times just during the Beste Zangers run in 2019! Let's hope she and Nightwish can do it again in 2020! :)
Nice reaction, as always. You mentioned if they would be afraid they would do it better. In Sweden we have a show called “så mycket bättre” (so much better) that has been going on for many year that is a bit similar to this. It very often ends up the original artist saying “omg that was amazing, from now it is your song, you did it so well so.. now it’s yours”. They r very happy and moved and happily supports the other artist to sing their songs :)
Another great reaction Christi. Being bilingual myself. Speaking both English and Spanish fluently, I am amazed how well she sings this considering she can't speak Spanish. Her diction is amazingly good and she managed this in only a week of rehearsal. Truly stunning!! The original was done as a Salsa song so this is totally different which also shows off Floor's musicality. Here's a link for the original if you wish to compare how different it is!! ua-cam.com/video/zRXmv4HLFfQ/v-deo.html
For a while, I had all of Floors performances from this show on my playlist and I just drove around with a constant lump in my throat. You know, the Emma and Henk duet is also ridiculously good. Love these posts. Thanks
I was looking forward to your reaction to this one! This performance is a good one for showing off Floor's ability to almost constantly vary different parts of her voice placement and thus tone quality throughout a song. It's one of my favourite things that she has started to do more of the last couple of years. She does a lot of it in "I don't know a thing about love" from Beste Zangers (mainly with varying cord closure) and quite dramatically in Nightwish "Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean" from Buenos Aires.
Hello Christi, nice reaction and insightfull deconstruction yet again! That melodic shift by Floor you noticed/loved at the early 1:49 mark got me choked too when listened first time...and still does. Whole song is one cool mix of brooding atmospherics and full on power pop/rock drive. Just brilliantly tastefull cover track by Floor and the band.
Nice reaction again😀 BTW the upcoming month Floor gives several solo concerts in The Netherlands. And yes the band from this program will be at that concerts as Henk Poort joins also as a guest😄 And guess what I've got tickets for one of these concerts😂😅😂😅
You are always such an encourager. I sincerely appreciate you so much, Rosannasfriend. Thanks for being so faithful to comment. It means the world! 😘 Have a fantastic day!
Once again I loved your analysis of this performance. It is very interesting how you broke down Floor's singing techniques. I am sure you must be a wonderful vocal coach! Floor would be amazing in Vegas. This show has lead to Floor scheduling a solo tour of the Netherlands, which begins on January 23. All 10 shows sold out in 24 hours. I wish I could attend one! It should be wonderful. Henk will be a special guest and possibly others as well. I hope they get it on film for everyone to experience. Great reaction video Christy! Be well!
Yep it seems to be a law of nature no matter what song she sings it her's after she performed it. The thing i like most about her (apart from her gorgeous voice) is the fun she is having every time i see her sing. She born to be on stage. :-)
Floor speaks many languages. Dutch, english, finnish and swedish for example (she lives in Sweden with her husband Hannes, drummer of Sabaton). There is a video of her singing in 8 languages here on UA-cam. She might not speak all of the languages, but you have to understand what you are singing for it to be authentic. That takes dedication. We have this show in Sweden too. ”Så Mycket Bättre”. Artists from different generations and genres singing eachothers songs. It’s a huge tv-show here each season. You should have it in America. Imagine Michael Bolton singing a Justin Bieber song to him.
You have to do Marco Hietala and Floor Jansen doing Ave Maria... Like she's just an angel in her truest form... It's unbelievable, legit sent shivers down my spine like she's done many times before!
You’re right this show really lets you see so much of her repertoire, HOWEVER... if you listen to more Nightwish stuff you’ll see they really let her showcase many facets of her voice, their sound is actually quite diverse, the songwriting Toumas does with Nightwish is next level
This was a good episode another highlight from that night was Henk Poort singing "Noelia" . It had Rolf crying because it was his grandmother's favorite and he hadn not heard it since she passed away.
There Are Many Great songs in this show... but this one is my personal favorite! Singing in spanish and Also in very her own Style, but still different. This makes me always smile when listening this song... :)
Another excellent reaction! Watching Floor perform all these other songs and styles, while still staying true to her, was absolutely amazing. I was already in love, but damn, she’s so versatile. I know I’m not alone in wishing the US had a similar show that was about just singing for the pure enjoyment of it.
Credit must be given in this case also to Marcel Fisser (bandleader and lead guitarist) and his musicians for the arrangement which took a salsa / reggaeton song into a rock sphere.
Watching Nightwish vids and Beste Zangers, I notice Floor is one of the few singers I have seen whose smile doesn't seem to affect the sound of her voice. Oh, she can turn the emotion one way or the other as fast as she goes from pop/belting chest voice to head voice, but only when she wants it to. Rolf really wondered how she was going to "insert Floor" into his song, and as we can see, was quite happy to see how she did it. The song was about his break-up with a girlfriend. His manager told him to write her a letter, but send it to him and they'd make a song about it. Apparently it was a very long letter , and Samantha joked "That's not a single, that's an album!" iirc This is the band she is singing with when she does her Solo shows coming up. They played everything spot on, even when they had to make it up along the way (the horn player doing "Spanish yells" when like Floor, he doesn't speak the language), and from Floor's rocking stuff, to Opera (Rubin's "Casual" version of La Donna è Mobile) the band is every bit as talented as the singers on the show.
I found when learning songs in Spanish myself (while not being a Spanish speaker) that the forward placement of the sound comes kind of naturally. In part because that's where they form their sounds when speaking so unless you want to sing with a heavy foreign accent you kind of have to do it. But also because of the Spanish general fondness for long words. You simply don't have time to form the words if you try to do it too far back in your mouth. I notice the same effect with English compared to my own language, tbh, just not quite as extreme.
You should check out Emma Heesters perform Strong on Beste Zangers for Floor. It’s a really deep song Floor wrote about her mother who suffers from an illness. It’s a really good performance
I see a new video from you checking out Floor and/or Nightwish and I just click it !! Simple. You need to check out “Dead Boy’s Poem - Live at Buenos Aires by Nightwish” you’re gonna love it and...Floor as always superb!!
Oh ma'am. Believe me, Floor is well known in America and in the whole world, but in the heavy metal genre... Let's just say she's getting known above the genre. I love your content. Keep it coming
I'm hoping you will get to Emma singing "Strong" to Floor, a song she wrote about her mom. Have the tissue box near by though. It's emotional to watch.😪
Floor Day it is then eh ? ^^ I'm relatively new to your channel but I really should follow you more ! And really eager to delve more into your Metal catalog so far. I assume (maybe wrongly and I apologize if it's the case) you're relatively new to the genre and it is so vast and diverse ! So many talent in the scene and I really look forward to hear what you have to say about some increidible and eardrum-blowing vocalists you can find in there ! :D
Hi Christi, aside from your "to the point"and very professional reactions, i noticed that you also studied the show's concept and participants background-story, after reacting to your first video of this show. These 3 facts made me subscribe to your channel and i'd love to watch your upcomming new videos to see what's next! Best regards from the Netherlands!

Floor can do anything, but THIS is where Floor shines :D
Floor learned the words phonetically... yet had almost perfect pronunciation and inflection.. amazing.
Daniel Candler learned phonetically, yes...but she also had to understand what she was singing about
I love how the backing female vocalist jams to Floor in the background ❤️.
It's June 2021 and I've been watching your entire Floor playlist. I've watched a ton of reaction videos about Floor and absolutely love your comments and take on her performances. I love that you show emotion too. My late father was a singer and always showed emotion when he sang.

She is like a vocal sculptor,. Doesn't matter who's or what kind of song it is, she will make a statue out of it by making it her own. Amazing.
"Rolf's Reactions" should be its own channel, he was just wonderful to watch enjoy the other singers' talents. The original song was in regaeton style, find Rolf's original and it is amazing. I would think as an artist if you weren't performing your material you would want to hear others takes on it and even if they did it 'better' (All Along the Watchtower comes to mind) it is a tribute to the original artist who created the music.
Not is reggaeton, is "salsa" xD is a dance genre.
So true and right analistes.
"I Don't Know A Thing About Love" is a tearjerker in Reuben's honor (Jodie Foster facial expression midway through the song)
Also can i suggest you as a Floor and maybe NW fan to listen to dead boys poem from the Buenos Aires 2018 concert. Floor does a killer performance on one of the most beautifull Nightwish songs.

Great review and reaction. First, the band must love her as she puts her metal spin on each song, here turning a salsa song into her Floor 2.0 version.

IIRC, this didn't only chart in S. America, this hit #1 in Peru, and top 10 in Argentina. I'm not sure about any of the other countries.
It's even more impressive when you realize all the shows were recorded in just 4 days (if i'm correct).
Studio bands in this concept of reality TV series must be insanely good.
I believe "Vain Elämää" in Finland is based on the same Dutch(?) concept. Like reality TVs often work - when someone invents a good concept they sell it around.

Another great reaction Christi. Being bilingual myself. Speaking both English and Spanish fluently, I am amazed how well she sings this considering she can't speak Spanish. Her diction is amazingly good and she managed this in only a week of rehearsal. Truly stunning!! The original was done as a Salsa song so this is totally different which also shows off Floor's musicality. Here's a link for the original if you wish to compare how different it is!! ua-cam.com/video/zRXmv4HLFfQ/v-deo.html
She learned the Nightwish setlist in 2 days, so I'm not surprised. The woman is a beautiful machine.
This performance gave me the best look at what floor does with her mouth and tongue. Just amazing.
Rolf did a great 'Solo otra vez' (all by myself) during this season and Henk Poort did an amazing duet with Emma 'vivo per lei'
For a while, I had all of Floors performances from this show on my playlist and I just drove around with a constant lump in my throat. You know, the Emma and Henk duet is also ridiculously good. Love these posts. Thanks
Yeah. That band. Incredible
Rolf always shines like sun, always so hype. I checked His version and it is so different
I was looking forward to your reaction to this one! This performance is a good one for showing off Floor's ability to almost constantly vary different parts of her voice placement and thus tone quality throughout a song. It's one of my favourite things that she has started to do more of the last couple of years. She does a lot of it in "I don't know a thing about love" from Beste Zangers (mainly with varying cord closure) and quite dramatically in Nightwish "Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean" from Buenos Aires.
Hello Christi, nice reaction and insightfull deconstruction yet again! That melodic shift by Floor you noticed/loved at the early 1:49 mark got me choked too when listened first time...and still does. Whole song is one cool mix of brooding atmospherics and full on power pop/rock drive. Just brilliantly tastefull cover track by Floor and the band.
Muy buena reacción y sobre todo muy buen análisis. Saludos desde Argentina, eres hermosa.
Nice reaction again😀 BTW the upcoming month Floor gives several solo concerts in The Netherlands.
And yes the band from this program will be at that concerts as Henk Poort joins also as a guest😄
And guess what I've got tickets for one of these concerts😂😅😂😅
10 shows actualy sould out within 24 hours
Fantastic! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!! 😍
Me to, 013 on 31-jan
Loved the distortion and the different colours she added - didn't know what ornaments she would choose- a slide? A growl? A scream tail off?
So cool
Whoa! Did not expect you today! Awesome! I'm glad you're finally doing Que Se Siente! My favourite performance! One of them
You are always such an encourager. I sincerely appreciate you so much, Rosannasfriend. Thanks for being so faithful to comment. It means the world! 😘 Have a fantastic day!
absolute blast
Once again I loved your analysis of this performance. It is very interesting how you broke down Floor's singing techniques. I am sure you must be a wonderful vocal coach! Floor would be amazing in Vegas. This show has lead to Floor scheduling a solo tour of the Netherlands, which begins on January 23. All 10 shows sold out in 24 hours. I wish I could attend one! It should be wonderful. Henk will be a special guest and possibly others as well. I hope they get it on film for everyone to experience. Great reaction video Christy! Be well!
Yep it seems to be a law of nature no matter what song she sings it her's after she performed it. The thing i like most about her (apart from her gorgeous voice) is the fun she is having every time i see her sing. She born to be on stage. :-)
When I think of the stamina that it took to do that consistent belting toward the end of this song.
can't get enough of her, I want to hear her every day
i love these reaction videos by you on floor jansen at this show. Keep em coming woman :)
Floor speaks many languages. Dutch, english, finnish and swedish for example (she lives in Sweden with her husband Hannes, drummer of Sabaton). There is a video of her singing in 8 languages here on UA-cam. She might not speak all of the languages, but you have to understand what you are singing for it to be authentic. That takes dedication.
We have this show in Sweden too. ”Så Mycket Bättre”. Artists from different generations and genres singing eachothers songs. It’s a huge tv-show here each season. You should have it in America. Imagine Michael Bolton singing a Justin Bieber song to him.
You have to do Marco Hietala and Floor Jansen doing Ave Maria... Like she's just an angel in her truest form... It's unbelievable, legit sent shivers down my spine like she's done many times before!
You’re right this show really lets you see so much of her repertoire, HOWEVER... if you listen to more Nightwish stuff you’ll see they really let her showcase many facets of her voice, their sound is actually quite diverse, the songwriting Toumas does with Nightwish is next level
Great great reaction, thank you!
May I suggest you " I don t know a thing about love" from beste zangers?
Great as always!!
This was a good episode another highlight from that night was Henk Poort singing "Noelia" . It had Rolf crying because it was his grandmother's favorite and he hadn not heard it since she passed away.
You should listen to Rolf's version. He is amazing! It also shows you how much floor changed that song, she's a genius!
The band is even the best band of The Netherlands! Have seen them couple of times with different Dutch artists
Perfect explanation
There Are Many Great songs in this show... but this one is my personal favorite! Singing in spanish and Also in very her own Style, but still different. This makes me always smile when listening this song... :)
Commander Floor might be the most versatile (well known) lady vocalist in the world today.
Another excellent reaction!
Watching Floor perform all these other songs and styles, while still staying true to her, was absolutely amazing. I was already in love, but damn, she’s so versatile. I know I’m not alone in wishing the US had a similar show that was about just singing for the pure enjoyment of it.
You should lisen Rolf singing Hotel California. It's so good.
You made my day with this!
Rolf said he was amazed at how rock she made it.
Credit must be given in this case also to Marcel Fisser (bandleader and lead guitarist) and his musicians for the arrangement which took a salsa / reggaeton song into a rock sphere.
Aaaah I just love your reactions to Floor!
Watching Nightwish vids and Beste Zangers, I notice Floor is one of the few singers I have seen whose smile doesn't seem to affect the sound of her voice. Oh, she can turn the emotion one way or the other as fast as she goes from pop/belting chest voice to head voice, but only when she wants it to.
Rolf really wondered how she was going to "insert Floor" into his song, and as we can see, was quite happy to see how she did it. The song was about his break-up with a girlfriend. His manager told him to write her a letter, but send it to him and they'd make a song about it. Apparently it was a very long letter , and Samantha joked "That's not a single, that's an album!"
iirc This is the band she is singing with when she does her Solo shows coming up. They played everything spot on, even when they had to make it up along the way (the horn player doing "Spanish yells" when like Floor, he doesn't speak the language), and from Floor's rocking stuff, to Opera (Rubin's "Casual" version of La Donna è Mobile) the band is every bit as talented as the singers on the show.
Did you notice how good her Spanish is? She doesn't know any Spanish.
Awesome. Haven't even watched it yet but I know it's going to be awesome. Last time I was this early, the Dead Sea was only critical.
If you listen to the original version by Rolf, you would be 'floored' by how different this version is. Its barely the same song. Truly amazing.
I found when learning songs in Spanish myself (while not being a Spanish speaker) that the forward placement of the sound comes kind of naturally. In part because that's where they form their sounds when speaking so unless you want to sing with a heavy foreign accent you kind of have to do it. But also because of the Spanish general fondness for long words. You simply don't have time to form the words if you try to do it too far back in your mouth. I notice the same effect with English compared to my own language, tbh, just not quite as extreme.
If she wants, she will win an Oscar
Ole, ole y ole!! :)
excellent review, thank you
Apparently Floor trains her muscles religiously, even with kettlebells. Must help a lot in those long concerts!
You should check out Emma Heesters perform Strong on Beste Zangers for Floor. It’s a really deep song Floor wrote about her mother who suffers from an illness. It’s a really good performance
I see a new video from you checking out Floor and/or Nightwish and I just click it !! Simple. You need to check out “Dead Boy’s Poem - Live at Buenos Aires by Nightwish” you’re gonna love it and...Floor as always superb!!
Fantastic channel !!
After all, it isn't every day one gets to hear a Caribbean salsa rendered in metal! ;)
Hi Christy. I love that you love Floor. She looks good and those tats are very nice and those arms are amazing.
All of the singers got tp be good friends. You looked very nice.
Have you heard the original song? She really made her own!
Oh ma'am. Believe me, Floor is well known in America and in the whole world, but in the heavy metal genre... Let's just say she's getting known above the genre.
I love your content. Keep it coming
If you heard the original it would blow you away like it did to Rolf. It is in salsa! Completely different style! He was shocked! As was I!
Please review the other singers on this particular season of beste zangers.
Can we slightly push Christi to react to Henk performing Noelia? I would love that.
Thank You 💜🦉🙏🏼
Nightwish just announced their new album info!! Its a DOUBLE ALBUM called
HVMAN. :||: NATVRE.
She turned a sunny salsa song into a raging thunderstorm.
I'm hoping you will get to Emma singing "Strong" to Floor, a song she wrote about her mom. Have the tissue box near by though. It's emotional to watch.😪
great reaction as always
try nightwish - dead boys poem (live in buenos aires)
You should check out the original version to see how she changed it. Rolf's voice is great!
Floor Day it is then eh ? ^^
I'm relatively new to your channel but I really should follow you more !
And really eager to delve more into your Metal catalog so far. I assume (maybe wrongly and I apologize if it's the case) you're relatively new to the genre and it is so vast and diverse ! So many talent in the scene and I really look forward to hear what you have to say about some increidible and eardrum-blowing vocalists you can find in there ! :D
EVERY day is Floor Day in my world! 😋 ❤️
Hello, may you please react to Epica - Consign to Oblivion pleaseee
4:12 💙
Revamp - disdain
Its floor's ex band and she was really heaVy on it
Hi Christi, aside from your "to the point"and very professional reactions, i noticed that you also studied the show's concept and participants background-story, after reacting to your first video of this show. These 3 facts made me subscribe to your channel and i'd love to watch your upcomming new videos to see what's next! Best regards from the Netherlands!
Welcome! I am so honored to have you here. Thank you for your kind feedback. Blessings, friend.😍
