mattoverho1 ; she added a soft g to the Finnish pronunciation. Maybe the Finnish should add it to their native tongue to stay in line with Floor’s pronunciation.
I once heard someone speak finnish: she was talking while inhaling. I thought that was so cool. But she didnt want to do it again she said it wasnt proper finnish but a dialect her grandmother spoke. Or somehing ? But ever since I wonder how to sing while inhaling and how it would sound in metal. Maybe rapping a bit is possible that way. Does anyone out here know more about talking while inhaling? Furthermore there is the Joik a Sami jodeling chant also very interesting.
Freja is one of THE LUCKIEST beings to ever walk the Earth! I just hope Floor and Hannes can instill all of the best qualities into their little princess. :)
It is so fun to hear Floor say things in Finnish, and with a pretty good pronunciation to boot . Very endearing to the Finns in the audience I bet. What a majestic woman she is!
At this "Metal Christmas" concert in Finland Floor is 6 months pregnant and she still sings the stars out the sky. She stands on stage like Maria herself.
After having gone through the rollercoaster from ecstacy knowing Floor offering online singing lessons to the disappointment realizing that she is not available any time soon, I am here trying to seek some comfort from watching Floor's baby bump and lovely smile.
I am going on with 9th time watching this video in a row. She sparkles the joy of Christmas with her presence during this very religious Christmas song. Lyrics here if you want to sing along with Floor and experience the difficulty of Finnish language: Oi jouluyö, oi autuas sä hetki, kun ihmiseksi sai Herra taivahan Synteimme tähden henkensä hän antoi ja kärsi ristinkuoleman Jo toivon säde hohtavainen loistaa nyt yllä maan ja merten aavojen Siis kansat kaikki, te kiittäkäätte Herraa Oi jouluyö, sä lohtu ihmisten Oi jouluyö, sä lohtu ihmisten Jo kirvonneet on syntiemme kahleet, on taivas auennut lapsille maan Orjuus on poissa, veljesvaino päättyi, siis Luojan kiitosta laulamme vaan Toi rauhan meille Herra taivahasta ja puolestamme astui kuolemaan Siis kansat kaikki, te kiittäkäätte Herraa Oi jouluyö, sä lohtu ihmisten Oi jouluyö, sä lohtu ihmisten
I'm pretty sure she didn't sing "Toi rauhan meille Herra taivahasta" in this performance. It sounded more like 2:40 "Ja rauhan meille kohta toinen loista" which doesn't make sense in Finnish (even though you can find all those words in Finnish dictionary, literal translation of those words would be like "And the peace to us in a moment another shining") and doesn't match the official lyrics either. Other than that, she had very good Finnish. The biggest issue was that "jouluyö" sounded more like "joulyyö" - I'm not sure if Floor had problem pronoucing that three letter diphtong (not really - there's syllable break u-yö) or it was intentional wovel modification which she does in English songs, too, to improve tonality of the music over official prononciation. As a Finn, missing the "u" in "jouluyö" sounded a bit off but still understandable.
They probably never will either. I don't think Floor wants to compete with Tarja's style in "her" songs, and Tuomas seems to be done with writing the more operatic stuff. We can always hope for more, but I really doubt it.
@@Un4Given71 Yes, I think Floor has her own style and I'm not a "Tarjaholic". After watching this I thought that we can have an even better Nightwish because of this woman's vocal abilities. Well we'll know soon, fortunately the new album is in the making...
Yes, agreed. I hope Tuomas is paying enough attention. If he actually writes for what Floor is capable of (and maybe even pushes her just a little bit, but SAFELY), Nightwish will absolutely blow the doors off of several charts around the world simultaneously with this next album! I CANNOT WAIT! :)
@@edudario1974 The cool thing is that she can do it all: the opera style, the jazz style, rock even growls. I really miss her band ReVamp, which was more on the metal side. She quit it because of Nightwish :/ Well, it probably is hard to have multiple projects going. I just hope on the new album her voice will be a bit more in the focus. Be it opera style, or whatever.^^

The mixing in Vehicle of Spirit is just awful IMO..boomy BOOM BOOM bass leaking everywhere. Bleh! Agree this one is miles better, even compared with the new 2019 version, this pregnant version still is better..vocals is more majestic, instruments have wider soundstage, etc.
Amazing,sweet,angelic !! Endless Floor Most Beautiful !!! "Oh, holy night, the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior's birth Long lay the world in sin and error, pining Till He appeared and the soul felt it's worth A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn' Fall on your knees, oh, hear the Angels' voices Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn' Fall on your knees, oh, hear, hear the Angels' voices Oh, night divine, yeah, oh, night when Christ was born Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine Oh, night divine Oh, night divine Oh, night divine !!! "
I don't like Christmas music, but my goodness her voice is so pure and magnificent. My eyes began to tear up. Floor is amaaazing! I wonder what Floor "Junior" was thinking hearing those notes coming from her moma. Of course it probably sounded muffled to to her.
english translate: Oh Christmas night, oh blissful moment, when the Lord made heaven human Because of our sins he gave his life and suffered a cross death Already the ray of hope gleams now above the brains of the earth and the seas Therefore all nations, ye shall praise the Lord Oh Christmas night, you comfort people Oh Christmas night, you comfort people Already the curse has been the shackles of our sins, The sky has opened to the children of the earth Slavery is gone, brotherly persecution is over, so we sing but to praise the Creator Bring peace to us from the Lord of heaven and for our part died Therefore all nations, ye shall praise the Lord Oh Christmas night, you comfort people Oh Christmas night, you comfort people
For me it would not even be necessary that she would sing the old nightwish songs. I would also like her to sing whatever she want in this beautiful(high) voice. I would wish for new nightwish songs where she can show the totally amazing range of her voice...I dont think this dream will come true(wasn't there also something about Tuomas not wanting her to sing "like Tarja?) but I would really appreciate it because of this beautiful voice. I loved Tarjas Nightwish time and I love Floors NW time..both are incredible in their own ways!
@@Tuovi-ve2mk Floor herself likes to sing rock voice over operetic voice most of the times. I think she likes that people to sing along with the songs.
@@corneliusantonius3108 I think she prolly feels she has done her time using operatic style in AF/Revamp already and rather stick with her current style, since doing so much operatic means she woudl have to practice alot in that style too, which probably takes too much time for her.
Oh dear, this isn't normal. My kids (3) had there feet firmly attached in my right lung via the hole they slowly created with the serrated knife the midwife's hid from me. I have no clue were the knives are coming from but I suspect some form of magic. Btw, I believe that the knife-hiding-business is what the midwife's are there for... well probably since they (to me) were of no use. I'm however glad that Floors baby didn't attack her famous lungs of steel. I just wonder what internal organ her baby focused on instead.. probably the bladder. That's good since it's not used for singing. But seriously, Floor is really tall so more room for the baby.
The world is so lucky to have this lovely woman singing in Finnish , German , Dutch, Spanisch, Italian and English and more ...
She can't sing in Finnish though.
@@mattoverho1 So, what she has done here? )
mattoverho1 ; she added a soft g to the Finnish pronunciation. Maybe the Finnish should add it to their native tongue to stay in line with Floor’s pronunciation.
But apparently she can play flute guitar and piano as well

The Dutch tv-program ‘Beste Zangers 2019’ brought me here and i was already a Nightwish-fan... Awesome performance!
My hats off to her. Floor is incredible comparing to other foreign Raskasta joulua -artists because she tries to sing in finnish.
She actually speak suomi man :)
She didnt just try, she nailed it almost correctly😃 i speak finnish myself so i know what im talking about
Hyvin meni :)
We all think we can feel the singing of Floor, but her daughter knows it for real.
Absolutely! :)
Freja is one of THE LUCKIEST beings to ever walk the Earth! I just hope Floor and Hannes can instill all of the best qualities into their little princess. :)

That time of year again. But seriously, I could listen to her sing this in spring, summer, fall and winter
curently the end of summer .. cant wait for winter
Well, I do 😊
How could anyone dislike that? Floor is absolute perfection.
It's the people who took her seriously when she said "kaikki?", and then realised that mere mortals can't sing in that register, lol.
@@mikeprevost8650 She does that sometimes, I always think that that is a little joke by Floor
She singing in finish🇫🇮. Excellent perfecto finish words singing, thank y Floor❤

As Christmas 🎄 2023 approaches, it's time for Floor again.

Just when you think that you couldn't possibly love Floor any more...
Happy Christmas in advance everyone 🤟🏻❤️
Her timbre as beautiful! 😍
Floor's voice is come from Heaven for us.
This woman`s voice is madness. :) Nightwish doesn't use her full potential imho. She's great.

Simply incredible!!!!!
i love this. i'm in very deep sorrow of my one week ago dead 23 year beautiful girlfriend and this music makes a bit better and easier to live.

Better filmed and mixed than vehicle of spirit..
I see the name of that very same director in the credit role at the end, so let's hope it's a sign he learned from that :P
TerranigmaQuintet I doubt. Decades Live DVD doesn’t sound as good as compared to this. Their Showtime Storytime DVDsound was sublime!

"Oh, holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error, pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt it's worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the Angels' voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices

Oh, night divine, yeah, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine
Oh, night divine
Oh, night divine
Oh, night divine !!! "
The Finnish lyrics are much closer to Adolphe Adam's original ones in Minuit Chretiens, the song's original title.
You bring joy to us,we love you.
I love when she sing seriously, her lyrical voice as great!
yah,and she sang wiyh even better mixture of classical/metal sound until she joined NW...Tuomas ,likely pushed her into a different direction..
Very beautiful!
