What could be better than this? My favorite Finnish reactor doing a reaction to a song by my favorite female vocalist who is the lead singer for a Finnish symphonic metal band!!! Sometimes the planets align and something wonderful happens. Thanks so much, Anna. Everyone was expecting her to metal it up, and she did it so laid back. It was beautiful, and shows off some elements of her voice that may get overlooked. Love from Mike in Chicago.

You MUST to see How's the heart acoustic version on planet rock... More pure is impossible... The vocal acrobacies there are fantastic... And is a song written for her.

Floor explained in the show that the whole idea was to keep the song "small", the song is building up naturally, and the challenge was to keep it small & very fragile, where the initial expectation of the audience was that she would belt it out

Ladies and gentleman, you've just been blessed with two talented and beautiful artists!

Love all the songs she sang on 'Beste Zangers' (best singers). Her performances in this tv show finally made her popular in the Netherlands too. Many people had never heard of her before. You just don't hear metal on mainstream radio here. Unfortunately. But people know of her now, for sure. Because of the success of this show, she got to do a solo tour in the Netherlands. It sold out within hours. She performed songs from the tv show, but also from Nightwish and her past bands After Forever and Revamp. I saw one of these shows just before Covid hit. She still has to do the final show in Amsterdam, which will be filmed, so everyone can enjoy it. 💜

The show -Beste Zangers is an absolutely awesome concept. It's so great to have Dutch Musicians get a chance to meet their fellow Dutch entertainers. The musicians are from different music genres, different walks of life & with different skills & strengths to bring to the show. It's truly a great concept & I'm so happy for The Beste Zangers' Band & for Floor, Henk, NW for everything that's happened since Floor's appearance in 2019.

What a well considered reaction. Floor sings every song how she thinks is most suitable. Her empathy is without measure. There are no mediocre performances on her KZfaq channel and she appears to be a beautiful soul.

Floor Jansen is not just an astounding vocalist but a force of nature.

Love it when you speak with fffrrrryyyy :D Good reaction, insightful.

Oh no, we have lost this girl from Finland to Floor 😍😍😍

I am sorry I showed up late, but I want to thank you for your detailed reaction, very nice. I had to wait for the CC to show up for me, but was worth the wait, loved hearing your response. Floor's version is best to me, but I will admit my bias. To me she is the perfect singer, to my ear, none come close, and I have listened to many many talented singers in my 53 years Floor turns me to Jello. Ty again

My first time with Anna today... A lot to say but for the first time I'm under the heavy impression that no matter who is there, Lara, Floor... Anna possess that breath support, intelligence, knowledge, THE VOICE and a looooooooot of guts to get in the ring with anyone !!! Should I already call her ICE ANNA ??? Maybe, but man, how long it's been that I haven't seen a girl with natural, non-dyed hair... it seems ages ago !!! And such a raw " Viking " beauty... Thank you Anna, it feels like I'm going to spend some time with you... 😈😈😈

I was super surprised she kept it so small, like most people 😁. Note that Tim Akkerman chose her for the duet episode, singing Shallow again. Also a very nice version.

It's somehow a form of torture, to wait 7 days for your reaction to "Shallow" with Floor ... but I'm convinced it's worth the wait. :)

I love how Rolff just sits there, dumbfounded, like "How the hell is she so good?!" Agreed, dude. Agreed.

We are so lucky with Floor, seen her live a few times, and she is so consistent as well. Born to sing

Floor is a great singer💕 What she sings is always AMAZING💕You can hear this all day long. I ❤️ Love Floor🥰 OUR QUEEN👸👑 Thank You so much 😍 Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🌷 🇳🇱 🙋🏼‍♀️ 😘

It was fun watching this show and having Floor get up to sing and being asked by the young Dutch Reggaeton singer, Rolf Sanchez, "Are you going to do it in your own version, Floor?" With Floor answering, "Yes, but it may be the opposite of what you expect". Boy was it! :D Thanks for another awesome, incredibly detailed analysis video, Anna. I enjoyed seeing you as enraptured as I always am hearing it, and following your breakdown was a delight :)

Damn Anna you're the first reactor I know who mentioned Autotune and I watched a lot of them. Great job o_O P.S looking gorgeous as always ❤️

Henk Poort and Floor is doing the Phantom of the Opera, Henk is doing a great Sound of Silence. . Floor sings opera, first show she sings Vilja song in german and Puccini's O Mio Babbino Caro in a other Dutch TV show and she sings from the GameCube game Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Sound of the Wind. Both on KZfaq ...

Love your videos! That's just another one to add to my favourites. I was waiting for it for a few days and now I had to be late lol. Life's just not fair. Plain and simple. Stay awesome and don't stop making these videos. \m/

That was great Anna, like always!!! 😊😊 I like the Floor-version more, because I believe her more her feelings... I can' wait til next week!! 😊😊

An absolutely exquisite rendition and so beautiful to witness such a magnificent artist ! Floor is truly a captivating and passionate singer ! She captured my heart and grabbed my soul completely with this performance ! Thank you Anna , I'm just getting into all your reactions/analysis of Floor ! She's got me following her journey now ! You always have the very best on your channel ! Much love Anna ! God bless ! 👍🇨🇦❤️

What i like most about watching your videos is contemplating your sensibilty and how yuou transmit it to all of us , you are a wonderfull woman and it s a pleasure to follow you

We really enjoyed your reaction to this performance. You did not disappoint. So much fun when she surprises the listener and provides something different from what is assumed and expected. Such an amazing talent with the emotion to make every performance special. Well done and thank you. Stay safe.

My two beautiful girls together, Anna and Floor. Outstanding vocal analysis as usual. You are a true professional. All my love. Nightwish Army U.S.

As usual, great mix of commentary and appreciation. thx

That was great Anna!!! The song, your reaction, absolutely perfect!!! I totally agree with you about your idea about the bond theme!!! Loved it!!! Best wishes from Germany!!!

Your engagement in your reactions is really something. I can't understand a word you say, but your face says it all. You're really engrossed in what you're watching. Plus, you're really cute :-). I hope the best for you you.

Floor approached this song so delicately. It really gave it a personal and intimate feeling. Loved your commentary lovely lady. Lady who? Floor owns this song now! Be well. Peace. 😊🙏🙏🙏💖

I really enjoyed your breakdown of Floor’s cover….thank you for the subtitles. I prefer Floor’s rendition…as a listener, any song that can brings out emotions …well…it’s nice!

I love how you love this.

Isn't it amazing that when Floor does a cover of a song, more often than not, it's better than the original artist. An absolute talent.

You are correct about the autotune it was actually interfering in the perfection of the voice of both Floor and Henk Poort. Henk is a professional Opera singer and didn't need autotune either. Why on earth can't they switch it off for singers that don't need it. You should check out Floor and Henk singing Phantom of the Opera and Floor singing Vilja Lied for Henk, both on this show. This show was where they met, he was one of her childhood hero's being the Dutch Phantom, they have become friends and Henk has been on her solo tour of The Netherlands before lockdown. They have also done a cover of Dangerous Game from the Jekyll and Hyde musical. You can find that on her KZfaq channel (Floor Jansen).

OMG that was fantastic. Which version do i prefer? This one of course :) Floor sings it ;) Good to see you again. I know, i didn't show up for a while, so it is on me. Still.

You told us to wait a long time Anna! But it was worth it - a very nice reaction - analytical and emotional at the same time. Bradley and Lady Gaga made me know this song - and I liked it. But it was Floor that made me love this song and its version. Lady Gaga hits me in the face with her voice - and it works, it works very well. What is Floor doing? Well - Floor knows very well that if she slapped me in the face, she might accidentally kill me - and why does she need a dead fan? So he doesn't hurt me, but gently caresses my cheek with his voice. And it works much better - at least for me!

Anna great job with your reaction and analysis of Floor Jansen singing Shallow from Lady Gaga . it's one of the best covers out there of this Song.

Wish version? Considering I've never listen to Lady Gaga perform the song and I've heard Floor sing it maybe a hundred times, I'll let you draw your own conclusions. This being the second performance I'd heard her do (the duet with Henk being the first) it made me an instant fan for life. In fact she did several songs I found moving, from Vilja Lied to the weepy What Do I Know About Love. Excellent deconstruction Anna.

Hi Anna, that's a good choice, you won't regret it..

i dont know why, but every time Floor sings like this, my eyes are sweating, every f*cking time

What a lovely reaction? So here is a new fanboy born to your reactions, I‘ve been a fanboy to Floor since I heard this performance. She is so smart in her musical choices. I think you understand her technique a lot better, but the feeling could be similar.

Floor Jansen masterclass and beyond.❤️

Hello Anna, very nice reaction again. In the same show she also does a duet with Tim Akkerman of this song, you really should take a look at that one too. It rocks.. As another suggestion for a reaction video I would love to see your reaction on Queen with “love of my life” live in Montreal 1981. One of my all time favorites.

Ok I gave myself a migraine ! I couldn’t decide whether to watch Floor or Anna 😍

The weird thing is, Floor doesn't need Autotune at all. If all vocalists were on pitch like her, that wouldn't even exist. Testament to that is, that you can only hear autotune at all here, when she does a slide. ;)

Fantastic review of floor, Jansen.

"Winner" Floorin esittämänä on myös hyvä biisi samassa TV -ohjelmassa 🤗

A few months ago, early in the morning on my way to work, I selected a radio station and a man's voice was singing "... shaahallow ..." and a woman was trying to reach and fill in the notes. In my thoughts I started to support her: more expression with more subtleties, more power with ease, ... just more like Floor. Hmm .. which band I know would put this cover version on the radio, I know the female voice ... Lady Gaga ... the coffee has started to work ... that's the original! ... I'm so used to Floors Version!

Need more happiness 💞

okay .. i have subscribed ... good one .. ! really enjoyed your comments on this song .. good stuff ..

Adorable and knowledgeable. The frst ractor humming along (though briefly).

I'm not a metal fan but floor always sounds amazing, 🙄👍 whatever she sings is beautiful.😏 Also, Anna, 🎤your voice is so good.🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍 Thanks. Great video.

Finnish just sounds so cool...

Nice reaction and break down. You should really react to. 'How's the Heart' acoustic.. it is beautiful and she shows such restraint and power, what control she has.

Loved your review of Floor singing shallow. What amazes me about Floor is that she makes whatever song she is covering her own. She does covers with her own style, tempo, storytelling, and emotion. She never ceases to amaze me! I also very much enjoyed your vocal coach commentary and review of her performance. You mentioned suggestions for other vocalists to review. How about Courtney LaPlante from the group Spiritbox? Here's a link to a great song of hers that would be a good one to review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abyTh7yq2q3Wl4E.html The song is called "Secret Garden"

Hi Anna, I found you last night reacting to “Ava Maria”, with Floor & Marko, & loved your reaction. I am an American, & Floor Jansen fan, & have gotten very nerdy about the reactions I like, I didn’t even know I was this technically interested, not being a singer, although always enjoyed singing in my younger years. Anyway, I believe Floor owns “ Shallow” now. Sorry Lady Gaga. Not sure if you saw this show, but she chose this song to sing to the young woman in red; why they keep showing her. Later into the series she sings it again, more in align with Gaga’s version with Tim Akkerman. Would love to hear your opinion on that one. She also did Phantom of the Opera, with Henke Porte, & Mama, also a very different presentation for her. Would love to hear your thoughts on these. I enjoyed this, & “Fire”, that I listened to before this. I see the hearts, & it seems it is only recently both Finland, & Netherlands have gotten on board seriously with Floor, & NW, very mysterious to me, as a old rocker girl! 😉

Floors version, the "feelings" she exudes are what sends it to my soul..

Thänks Anna! Tää oli hienoa analytiikkaa taas, en pitkään aikaan ollutkaan katsellut näitä Beste Zangersin klippejä. Tunteisiin uiva veto... Otappa tuolta myös se Floorin ja Henkin versio Phantomista käsittelyyn. Ja Nightwishilta vaikkapa Yours is an Empty Hope, niin saadaan Flooriltakin vähän growlia kuunteluun... 😎

Gaga gave me chills. Floor Gave me chills, goosebumps, and tears, even now, after hearing this version after more than a hundred times.

Floor!!

5:07 Don't worry, any living being on this planet with functioning ears turns into a Floor fan girl upon hearing her sing. It's simple laws of nature really.

I have seen this performance by Floor several times, and this is also subject of several reaction video's, as she shows in this song what she is capable of (however in Phantom of the opera, together with opera singer Henk Poort, also from the same season of Beste Zangers, she shows even more, the tent almost collapsed because there was a thunderstorm outside that was an extra touch to their performance). Loads of people are astounded by what Floor can do, because this is their first encounter with her. The first concert I was at, where Floor sang (with After Forever) is over 20 years ago, so I already knew her capabilities, however, I am still touched by this song every time. So now I am curious to see what you think of it, let's watch your reaction now.

Oh...It ended right in the middle of typing my next comment. I never realized that artists plan so much detail into every phrase and note. Also, I wonder if Diana Ankudinova will ever use auto- tune and will anyone know it? Thanks for the visit Anna, It was nice to see you.

Великолепно! Floor - просто неподражаема! Спасибо , Анна! Like

Hope that you want to do more reactions from Floor @Beste Zangers. And Emma Heesters sang a song from Floor there(strong) that one is soo emotional!

All about Floor I liked before watching, my friend) Thanks for this reaction, Anya. Floor is the greatest singer of our time, IMO. She really can sing everything. There's too many edges of voice. Want to hear how she growls - check Nightwish - Yours is an empty hope. Want to hear her opera stuff - Nightwish 'Shoemaker'. One of the most emotional performance - The Poet and the Pendulum live. Her wonderful endurance - any full concert video, live at Tampere for exmpl. Also I recommend you to check her singing 'Winner' on this show. And the story behind this song. I cried, will you?) P. S. Mb we'll got two reaction videos per week once?))

maybe you can react to ישראל 4 The Voice: ספיר עמר - Alive which is a the voice perf of Israel or also this one is great, the first singer still ישראל 4 The Voice: ספיר עמר - Feeling good\נוי בן שבת - Lost on you

FINALLY........so glad you got to this, and I enjoyed your analysis, she always tries to put her touches to covers with out damaging them, I so enjoy Floor, she has brought out so many emotions in me with NW and Beste Zangers, and her covers, I think she could sing the phone book and it would be wonderful. I do enjoy listening to Lady GaGa, but for me Floor wins with the delicate singing of this........more Floor please, maybe a little HaleStorm.......thx so much

Floor loves to save the most powerful belts for the last part. Therefore if Floor participates in Ayreon metal songs where multiple top vocalists appear in the song, she is often one of the last coming in. Except for the Valley of the Queens where she sings in a trio. Just search Floor Jansen and Ayreon.

You really need to react to Beast In Black with their song Blind & Frozen 👍🏻

Listening to you speak brings fond memories of my youth. Also, you have the best breakdowns of these performances. Please add Caro Emerald to your list to check out.

Anna, let's not leave you out of that beautiful list! I think I prefer Floors cover, maybe it's just because I've just heard it more? I do have a suggestion, Mike Mills from Toehider. I think he will give your analysis a run for its money. I believe that I saw you did Ayreon "The Day That the World Breaks Down ", he's the singer that did the "101100" sequence. His own writing is also different, but in the rock sense. Stay safe Anna and happy, you have a beautiful smile.

Ciao Anna, sei Favolosa..mi sarebbe piaciuto tanto ballare questo lento con Te.

That sigh you heard may be that I believe (other say I'm wrong, I don't) Is that she sings GIRL instead of BOY in the second verse. You can see her own reaction right after she sings it.

Dear Anna I love your thoughtful, well chosen reactions. May I suggest you react to SoHyang. The two songs I would most enjoy you adding your insights to are "Bridge over troubled water," and "Everyone." Sincerely, Ruben

Hi Anna, in your video I would recommend to comment both versions of Shallow, Floor's solo version as well as her duo version with Tim Akkerman, same show of Beste Zangers 2019, although other episode. It would be appreciated comparing the duo version also versus the original version of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Not as goal to check which one is better, but to examine the different used styles and vocal techniques. Looking forward to the clear reactions in your video as always and thanks in advance.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Dont worry love. We're all Floor fan boys or fan girls

Good one.

Didnt understand one word you said but just to see you enyoi floors singing is beautyfull. Greetings Gerry_Grouwe Holland

A famous vocal coach, an American, said that Floor is better than Gaga. Totally agree with that comment. Hail the Goddess 😎😁🤩

Dat kan ik niet verstaan. Het klinkt mooi.

Are you familiar with material of Kelly Sweet? A little less known singer. Maybe some of her cover songs would be easy to digest: Now We Are Free Dream On

Hi Anna, have you heard of Marcelito Pomoy before? He practically mimic a duet of Celine Dion and Andrea Bocheli titled "The prayer"... Check him out...

Hey, i have some suggestions for you: Wolfheart - the Flood And Lacuna Coil - Venificium (Live). Keep up the good work!!

Violet just did another collab with Halocene: t.A.T.u. All the things she said! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9eFlLtnuq_Ihac.html Good one to react to? Also another collab on Halocene's channel (Metallica), gonna check that out right now ☺️. (More Floor is of course always nice)

I like Floortje best but I'm a big fan of hers.

Ei hitto! Tätä kyllä odotan. Floor Jansen on upea artisti, joka vangitsee pelkällä olemuksellaan. En aikaisemmin kauheasti välittänyt metallimusiikista, mutta tämän naisen lauluääni teki lähtemättömän vaikutuksen ja sai ylipäätään kiinnostumaan laulutekniikoista.

👍👍👍

Floor for me

Kiitos kauniista reaktiosta! Fiilistelin mukana. Itse kuulin tämän kappaleen ennen Gagan versiota, joten siinä mielessä itselle alkuperäinen. Pidän Floorin maanläheisestä lähestymistavasta. Tuntuu, että tämä kappale on tarkoitettu nimenomaa pienelle yleisölle, vaikka upea kappale onkin. En nyt tähän hätään ehdota uusia kappaleita, vaan pitäydyn vanhassa :D Se Diana Damraun Yön kuningattaren aaria kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9tymKWb1rG3d4U.html Kenties joskus :)

The WARNING you need to check them out .

I like Floor's better. It's more intimate, and to me has more emotion. Great reaction.

You are finnish! did you forget about NIGHTWISH? ☺🤘👌👍✊✌☺

Heaven in Hiding by Imminence

Tulihan se sieltä.. 🤔😎 Kannattaa kattoo sit nää kaikki..

Kiitos! Korkeampi sävellaji kuin Kakalla! Loistavaa! Floor pyyhkii Kakalla lattiaa koska vaan!

Ammattilainen työssään, enkä tarkoittanut Flooria ;)

Starts off so fragile, almost faltering... The way she explores, adds careful tweaks to make it in her own style. Oh, I'm picking up some Finnish words, kiitos ;-)

Kävitkö katsomassa Oulun tai Kuopion keikkoja?
