New video 🎶 Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019 | First Time Reaction kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a95_pcmlzLjdl6s.html

'Beste Zangers' is a celebration of music. Every season they feature a number of established singers, from wholly different backgrounds and genres, and every episode one singer is in the spotlight. The viewer learns about who they are and their background, while the other singers cover a song from that singer, or - like here - one that's very special to them. This recording is from Emma Heesters' episode, the young woman in the red dress. She's a youtube cover artist, and this song has very special meaning to her, which is why Floor chose to cover this song. Everyone on the couch is a professional singer, including the host, sitting next to Emma. It's not a competition, it's a celebration.

How to recommend a single song by Floor - no matter what she sings is 100% enjoyment. I would recommend you to go to Floors channel and just choose something, because there should be plenty of songs that you will like. Btw;the album came out last week and is just WOW! The album entered the Dutch album charts at number 2 in the first week. Congratulations Floor!

Floor never just covers a song, she makes it her own. Her voice is just unbelievable. Check out her cover of Alone or her cover of Adagio. This woman is a blessing.

Floor is Brilliant & can sing any type of songs ! One of the greatest Singers of our time ! Nightwish Disciple from Australia 🇦🇺🏄‍♂️🍹

In this Song you can see what a Stories narrator Floor is. It is incredible!!!! What a voice, gesticulating, magnifiek.... A song with goosebumps ✨ This is not a competition, that's why Beste Zangers it's so unique 🥰 Floor means Flower 🌸 and is a Dutch girl name, always nice to know ❣️ They are are all Singers who sing a song for each other, for the one who sits on the Couch next to the Host Jan Smit. This host is also a singer, lives in my Village VOLENDAM in the Netherlands around the corner 🤗 This is on the island of Ibiza (Spain) at a resort 🇪🇸🍹☀️ Thanks for your kind comment 🌹

I believe Floor has said she feels quite a bit more comfortable in the huge stadium, than singing in such an intimate setting. The level of her performances across the range of styles she's capable of, it's honestly super-human. She's managing to get such unbelievable clarity, and that beautiful tone while very actively restraining her voice.

The "Beste Zangers" goldmine is a treasure trove of all things Floor. I'll try to keep this short (failed, obviously..) and post a follow-up with all the necessary links. So this is about songs that were performed by Floor during the legendary 2019 edition of the Dutch TV show, "Beste Zangers". In English, this translates into "Best Singers" but it can also be taken as "Dear Singers", as in a written invitation. That's what the show is about. No competition or anything. Just accomplished singers gathered together in an intimate setting far from home (this was filmed on Ibiza, if I'm not mistaken). Each episode is dedicated to one of the singers. The others perform songs that have a special meaning for the singer at the centre of attention. What's so nice abt Floor in that show was that most of the other singers didn't know her. She was that "metal chick" and not well known in the mainstream. Most of the Dutch television audience didn't know much about her either. That was about to change dramatically. In short, she blew all of them away, singing in German, Dutch, English and Spanish. From the get-go, she set the bar so high that the others stepped up their game and in turn delivered stellar performances when they sang to Floor (and were incredibly nervous). Special mention in this respect: Emma Heesters (a KZfaq singer) who sang Floor's song "Strong" to Floor (who had written it for her mother who suffers from chronic RA). Tissues handy for that one! When doing reactions as a non-Dutchie, it's best to go with the English subbed versions. If YT doesn't allow me to include the links, know that all the subbed versions can be found on the channel "Floor op TV", playlist: Beste Zangers 2019. These versions include the lovely before/after banter which provides some very useful & fun context to the songs. The official versions (by broadcaster AVRO/TROS) I would not recommend, since they miss the before/after and also tend to get blocked increasingly (which luckily in this case didn't apply). In my follow-up to this comment, I'll post the links. Cheers from Amsterdam!

Nice Reaction! Floor did this show because of the older gentleman (Henk Poort) sitting on the couch signed up to be on it. He is a Classically Trained singer and played the Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera in The Netherlands and Floor saw him sing the famous song from that Musical on TV when she was a young girl and yes, they do a duet on this show of that song from The Phantom. A must watch!

❤F❤L❤O❤O❤R❤ ❤J❤A❤N❤S❤E❤N❤ Inna - Floor sings: HEAVY METAL, ROCK, POP, ARIA, DEATH METAL, OPERA, even RAP. She sings in DUTCH (mother language), FINNISH, SUEDISH, GERMAN, ITALIAN, ENGLISH, SPANISH and LATIN. If you go down in this rabbit hole, you will discover the beste female singer in the world, nowadays. She his, her self a Voice Coach. But she doesn't have the time for that, no more.

The show takes 7 singers from different genres and put them together. Each singer has a list of songs that is special for him/her and that can be an own song or a song with a special memory. In each episode one of them is placed central and others sing a song from his/her list and there is talk about life experiences and why the song is so special. Because songs and the different singers do not always fall together so singers have to change songs to their own comfort zone or step out of their musical comfort zone. The 8th (and last) episode is the duet episode where each singer have to chose a partner to sing a duet. Floor did on this show an epic version of phantom of the opera with the actual Dutch phantom Henk Poort. Henk did it but with one condition, to play the song as well with Nightwish and so he recently did.

Floor Jansen She can do it all She is the one and only 🤘🔥❤🔥🤘

I think fnglert already explained what the Dutch TV show "Beste Zangers" is. To add to that. Participants get a list of important songs to the other participants 6 months prior. They choose a song for each and choose one duet with another participant for the last show of the season (in this season Floor and Henk doing Phantom of the Opera). But also the duet Henk and Emma Heesters whom Floor is singing "Shallow" for was brilliant. Participants must come to a resort (this time a tent in Ibiza) alone, without family and managers. They stay together for 10 days to form a bond with each other and do some final repetitions. They are encoraged to sing out of their normal style (so Floor doing this pop song, and Henk as an opera singer did disturbed with a gritty voice f.e.). Most importantly, it is not a competition. And you were right. Floor was asked in the show if she liked this small group more than a big audience, and she said she liked big audiences more. The show has deep interviews in between songs, where many emotional moments occur. They all have some mental baggage and they all express that in their art somehow. Final note: Floor did not want to participate initially, until she heard that Henk Poort was in it. Floor adores him since her teens as a singer. She immediately changed her mind and said YES! With stunning results.

If you dive into the TV show Beste Zangers you'll enjoy the context of this and her other performances. With "Shallow", Floor did her rendition by "keeping the song small." I think she made the song more intimate and interesting in doing so.

Its funny that you mention singing in front of a small group of people. They asked Floor on one of the episodes if she would rather be in this setting or a stadium and she preferred the stadium too.

The show's presenter asked her: - " Do you prefer to be in a stadium or just so very intimate for us ? - Floor: "Then, give me that stadium !" It was also pretty difficult for her to sing facing only few people. 😊

Floor is a Goddess.

if you hear her voice once you cant ecape. it's too late now, your soul is hers😁everyone loves her because she is the most humble person and she has the most beautiful voice on the planet🥰

Great choice. Floor sings to each of the other six singers in English, German, Dutch and Spanish. And so much more on her KZfaq channel. Of course there are also her performances with After Forever who she joined at 16, ReVamp, her own band, Northward, another project. Plus guesting with Evergrey, Soilwork, Ayreon, Space One, Avantasia, and others. Have fun. LOL.

Floor wanted a challenge so she kept it small! Love this version ❤

A great nightwish ballad is "Sleeping sun" (Live In Tampere) where you can also hear a softer version of her singing. Also from the same show "Beste Zangers" her duet of "fantom of the opera" is a must hear I think. A heavier song is Wish I Had an Angel (Wacken 2013) where you can hear her sing together with the bassist and their voices blend sooo well together. Having said that the list of great songs is endless...

Great reaction Inna! Floor is a very versatile singer. I hope her success continues in the various genres she is persuing.

As a follow up to this I would suggest watching her perform Alone by Heart, she sings it as well as if not better than Anne Wilson, which is saying a lot about her talent and performance!

Floor never just sings a song, she performs it.

I can recommend every performance of Floor in the "Beste Zangers" there are KZfaq videos with intro with English subtitles so you understand why she chose that particular song.

What could be more perfect than this? The intimate setting, the soft piano, Floor's wispy vocals. You can clearly see Rubin barely holding back tears. Thank you Inna, you are amazing as well 😊

Hail to the Queen!

"Beste Zangers" is a Dutch program, very cool, and consists in presenting other, well-known singers, their own songs or interpretations of "their" achievements. This is not a competition, you don't win anything (apart from praise and appreciation of your own work). I recommend watching the entire issue (season), 2019 (Floor Jansen). 2021 (Anneke Van Giersbergen, mother of Dutch-dark-vocal) - btw. I recommend "Strange Machines", The Gathering (Anneke), live '96, Pinkpop.

Anything from the 2019 season of Beste Zangers is worth watching. Watch Floor's songs, of course, but also watch the performances by all of the other singers on the couch. They're all exceptional.

I’m enjoying your reactions! No matter who you are if you listen to and watch Floor , I think you fall in love with her . 🙂

The "Beste Zangers " series on Dutch TV is also on YT as translated and extended version with some conversation with the other artists. The first one, Floor sings " Vilja Lied" from the Merry Widow is here; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLRoY6SXrc-5hI0.html

Hey Inna, Michael from Australia. Nice reaction. Love your smile in the reaction. That is what Floor does. She is sublime on every song. I just love her.

Welcome on the Nightwish train. Greeting from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

You have to watch also other performances of Best Zangers. I would recommend Floor Jansen and Henk Poort with Phantom of the Opera. Also Henk Poort with Sound of Silence. Have you ever heard of Aurora a norwegian singer. She is amazing too with her very own style of singing and performing. I suggest to listen first to "Murder Song" and "Runaway" performed at the Nobel Price celebrations 2015.

I do love listening to Floor live, which I consider this performance to be albeit a smaller audience. She released several singles from her new album as music videos but there are live performances out there which are so much more organic that I recommend you seek out to react to. But while I'll post you some links in a bit to make it easier to find, my request is from a solo show in Amsterdam in the fall of 2021 which can be found as a playlist on her channel, and the song title is Slow, Love, Slow that is delivered with a jazzy take to it.

Inna, here are the links i promised. Not sure if I've shared before - I'm going to take the liberty of posting a selected playlist of live performances that I consider the most enjoyable for me from her catalog of solo projects. 2019 - Beste' Zangers Solo cover of "Shallow" (Lady Gaga) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5xoo8hlxsWdqp8.html Duet cover of "Phantom of the Opera" w/ Henk Poort - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptJzhsab26qzeoE.html 2021 - solo Amsterdam Concert Storm in a Glass - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bceoaNGEtaidpGw.html Slow, Love, Slow - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mKh3a6qV3rK9dJ8.html 2022 - Recently released singles from her upcoming 2023 solo album. There are music videos of these singles but I prefer the more organic live versions. All three venues provided excellent acoustics "Fire" - recorded at HLF8 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNene7CY1MWolIU.html "Storm" w/orchestra - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bspxg5t-z83Mj3k.html "Me Without You" - First public performance - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJx8oLWDktjLo6c.html Bonus reel - Floor sings the phonebook - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebKFpZR1sd2pgZs.html

Oh to add one thing: The TV show "Beste Zangers 2019" has been subtitled in English in its entirety (I think 8 episodes) and you can find it on YT. The term "Beste Zangers" can be translated in English as "Best Singers" or "Dear Singers" which is both correct.

Well suggested as Kelsea below, and as a sequence to this song, Shallow in duet with Tim Akkerman. Its from the same serie, Beste zangers 2019, episode 8, Duets.

She was singing to Emma on this show ,when Emma sang to floor she made it hard for floor not to cry

This is a wonderful show. Not a competition. Floor does not want to copy or imitate Lady Gaga. Too much respect, and wanted to do it in a different way. The band suggested and Floor agreed she wanted to keep it small and intimate. Floor has a much softer side as well as her warrior queen persona. See you again very soon Inna!

The "Beste Sangers" show is a good opportunity to see Floor sing different kinds of music. Next to "Shallow" I recomment you to have a look at "The phantom of the opera" with Henk Port and "I don't know a thing about love" from the same show. If you are interesed in more gentle Nightwish songs with Floor then I recomment "Dead Boys Poem" and "Sleeping Sun" Greetings from Germany :)

This is so good. Listened many times and still get chills

This is like The Voice from the Netherlands.

EPICA - Stabat Mater Dolorosa w/Floor Jansen 😉

Floor Jansen's solo Album "Paragon" released already, and you can find all of the songs on it on her youtube channel. She released them on her channel out of order though since 6 of the 10 songs were released as singles. If you want to go through the album's songs from her channel in the order they appear on the album, the order would be: 1. My Paragon kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8CBZNJplbHYj40.html 2. Daydream kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdyjdLqpuNbLeHk.html 3. Invincible kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8tjnJpjkq6yZqM.html 4. Hope kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZ-qbNOTl6epmYk.html 5. Come Full Circle kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibRmh7WnyNeuYmw.html 6. Storm kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l62hfc6kx8i5n40.html 7. Me Without You kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iKeefLWVmJ-0omw.html (I don't know if you'd be interest in doing a double reaction or a back to back upload but, a live version of Me Without You was uploaded to youtube shortly before the official one on her channel and honestly, I think it is even better than the official version. It's a fan phone recording but the quality is perfect. It has a smoky jazz club feel to it. I'll provide that link too if you're interested in doing that.) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJx8oLWDktjLo6c.html 8. The Calm kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g75oqJCc3rKyppc.html 9. Armoured Wings kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7J4e6qZnNDUg3k.html 10. Fire kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9qqZ8p3rJmsdmw.html Fire, Storm, Me Without You, Invincible, Daydream, and My Paragon are actual music videos. The other 4 are just audio.

You deserve a gift, Morgan James does "Dream On" in a one of a kind extravaganza 😊 Reaction not necessary with this gift.

Greetings. It's difficult for a listener to understand that Floor sings and that's what the listener is hearing. But from her point of view, she's talking to you, communicating with you, because she's expressing feelings in everything she's saying. That's also why she decided to do it like this, she's talking to yhe girl in the red dress, Emma Heesters.

You'll want to react all of her performance from "Beste Zangers" 2019, and her cover of "Euphoria" from the same show later on. I would also recommend the videos from her new album...

If you like “delicate” Floor, please react to “Sleeping Sun” from the Nightwish 2015 Tampere concert. Gorgeous.

"Am I in love with Floor?" Welcome to the club! If you want to dive into her new solo project, I highly recommend her latest single, "My Paragon," which features two younger versions of herself! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8CBZNJplbHYj40.html

👍😘 Floor maked in covidtime a lot off covers from her home studio The are amazing Floor never copy a song ,she maked her own before she. Sings it Everthiing fantastic❤

Inna, i would really like to see your reaction on "TREES OF ETERNITY - My Requiem " and (my favorite) "Draconian - Death, Come Near Me"

best than the original

She actually does this song twice, during the last show of the season the artist do duets they like. Floor sings phantom with Henk Poort but also shallow again with Tim Akkerman. And this version is much more like the original. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abaWaruVmK-6pIk.html

Nice reaction 👍🏻 Please check out Neverland (live '09) by Marillion. You'll love it ❣️

Wow huh😮

As much as I like the original of this, I think that Floor's version is far superior.

FLOOR JANSEN AND TIM AKKERMAN "SHALLOW "

Are you in love with Floor? Yes. Just about everybody is.

Try FROZEN I and II songs first... Also M83 and Alonevare amongst a few she did in the pandemic days!!!

Comfortable sitting on a stool and belting out even higher than the original and then going back keeping it intimate and small

you dont know,what you are gointo...hahaa.Wellcome and enjoy(Nightwish next)

I think Garland was the original Certainly Streisand was in a film version long before Lady Gaga, with, I think, Kris Kristofferson. Regardless, it's Floor's song now

🇬🇧 Norfolk Nightwish army reports for duty 😊

Sei Bellissima 🌹

First time commenting, but I've watched all of your Nightwish reactions. You're a natural at this? Because you truly love music. Floor is insanely versatile. She can do songs from something simple like this, all the way to GLS. If she was doing video games, in say, epic battle scenes? She's bring them to life, because, as you said in your GLS reaction, she actually LOVES what she does, and puts her whole self into every song. I've got someone I think you're going to really enjoy as well. In fact? I'm willing to bet you'll put this song on your playlist instantly, as you did with your last Nightwish reaction. Entirely up to you, but I'll leave the link here. I give you, Mr. Felix Irwan: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtKTpNZ3tK-2nZc.html

You have to watch every Floor performance from this show , there all very different. You mine as well go back in time and react to her 1st band AFTER FOREVER try this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJ5yabiasuCleWQ.html

Great reaction to an amazing song performance!! You need to do this next: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l86pnsRyta7Mo2w.html

This is far better than Lady Gaga's original. Thank you for your reaction!! Please react to Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019. It is amazing. She will blow your mind!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptJzhsab26qzeoE.html
