For as long as it lasts, Floor Jansen, is the best in the world.

Beside that Floor is a phenomenal singer, she is also a phenomenal storyteller who is capable to bring lyrics to life, not only with her voice but with her whole presence on stage.

Sheer perfection is right! Her cover went to #1 on Holland's charts and rightfully so.

She sang most of this like a lullaby.

I love how Floor can make any song hers. Often people forget she can do more than sing very very VERY well. She also writes lyrics and she's a composer.

Henk's look towards the end - absolute professional respect, with added "You go, girl!" 👏💯

I've heard Floor sing this song many, many times now, and I STILL get goosebumps every dang time!

How can someone sound so strong and vulnerable at the same time.

Nobody compares to FLOOR JANSEN👌🏻

Floor is not only a fantastic singer, supremely talented and technically proficient, but also uniquely emotive.

The maternal part is correct, the lady, Emma, on the couch, red dress, was the subject of that weeks show. That was the reason why both times she sang she. Like a mother speaking to the daughter. Almost remembering what she did in her own youth. Basically the mistakes made by parents, ah well, old guy remembering stuff.

Your sense of humor is great. There is only one Floor. She is amazing. In an interview for the new album she said there was one song that Tuomas challenged her. She said it took one month to get the music down with the words in the right places. Then she took it home for a month to get to know the song and where to put the emotions into it. I could listen to her all day everyday. Thank you for doing these videos. The way you explain what she is doing makes it great for us lay people to understand. Take care of yourself and stay safe..............

For me, this performance was the highlight of the entire show, even Floor performed flawlessly in all the episodes ... but every time I listen to it, I have tears in my eyes. As you noticed, she has alternately added maternal gentleness and pure brilliance, a unique combination that melts any heart.

I love how even when Floor belts it out and sings more intensely, there's still a gentle quality to it.

This softer, eerie, breathy way of singing kills me all the time, this Lady is amazing and you are so so adorable 😊

See how majestic our Queen is there. You are absolutely right! This is a perfect performance. This is the original for me from now on. The emotion, the textures and the the brilliant control of her voice! This is far from shallow. Thank You our man of the mugs!

you really need to listen to her interview saying she used 2 months just to find how she would tell the stories... man... it is another level

only 3 female singers have ever made me cry , judy garland,karen carpenter and floor , yes shes that good

Floor did a crowd funding to digitally record her solo show, thats its, amazing, with this songs and others that she wrote. She is going to release it only in digital platforms. Unfortunatelly the show was postponned due to Covid out break. Curious note she achieved the goal in 3 hours... Lol

Truly the most beautiful version of this song and she does it so effortlessly. I have seen videos of lady gaga doing it and it always looks like it's such hard work!

Rarely have I clicked so fast! Great reaction!

There is at least one more song from this show you are just going to love (apart from Floors performances obviously). That is the cover of Vivo Per Lei by Henk and Emma in the last show. Henk is a good as ever but Emma really grew above herself in that one. In fact the whole final show with all the duets was just totally epic, with a thunderous (literally!) finale. Oh, and there was also a second version of Shallow, this time with Floor and Tim Akkerman.

I first heard Floor singing Monolith of Doubt with After Forever way back in the day. The number one thing that always stood out to me about her was the the dynamic range of emotions she can convey. She is the master of making you feel what the song wants you to feel.

I enjoyed Floor singing and you reacting! 💕🤟

Great reaction Sam. Floor's emotional, fragile interpretation of this song totally beats Lady Gaga's version.

More Floor! Awesome!

She always leaves me the same as the guy wiping tears out of my eyes and I don't know why.....She is touched by a higher power.

When Floor is sitting on the couch you should listen to the songs that Henk, Samantha and Emma perform for her!

Floor understands subtlety and ambiance. She's the furthest thing from a mindless screaming banshee. She knows better than 'IT HAS TO BE LOUD OR IT ISN'T GOOD!!!' Poor Ruben, sitting there asking himself 'Why am I even in this show?' Floor is SO MUCH BETTER than almost everybody there! But of course, Floor herself would never think such a thing (let alone say as much), being the sweet humble beautiful soul that she is. There's just SO MUCH to LOVE about the Metal Goddess! :)

Just months ago I saw you needing to compose yourself after your first exposure to Floor in Ghost Love Score. I still remember you humming to yourself "this lady, I don't know her name but she's incredible......I've just said incredible again" :-) . And a couple of months later, completely different approach and style I can see that she is still able to distract from the technique and just baffle you (if that's the correct term). :-) Thanks. Ken Tamplin commented "It is hard to put in that much technique and not make it look like you're showing off" and you just show what it does to you. :-)

Loved your ending, it was not stupid. You have a really smooth and soothing voice btw. I didnt much care about Lady Gagas version of this when I first heard it but I love this version of it.

I saw in an interview that Floor practiced both a "soft" and a "forceful" version of Shallow with the band, and she decided to perform the soft version.

Floor 🤩

The Floormula 🤣

I really like the way she sings it because it almost sounds angelic.

I would've been turned into a puddle of goo if Floor had sung this to me. Wow.

Brilliant performance and reaction

It takes a lot to tire those arms, did you see the size of them. She was singing the song to Emma Heesters, the young blonde girl in the sparkly red top. (who you should also check out as her voice is beautiful) That's why she changed it from "tell me something boy" to girl.

Excellent reaction. You know what you’re talking about.

Yes! Perfection!🙌❤ I can't wait for the next one! I hope you are feeling better with the back pain and that you and your family are safe!

Some people sing Some people sing from the heart Floor sings with her soul

Doesn't matter how many times i listen to this...goosebumps every time! 🤘

Great reaction .thumbs up 👍 ...I think this is the third time I've watch you do this one .

Absoluut she sing het all, so good, epic great voice. Butyfol Bye bye from the Nederland /Holland 🤟🤟 Even you hav Floorgasme😄😄😄👍👍🥰

It's "Auntie" Floor giving advice to young upcomer Emma. Every song Floor sings on the show is a master class in singing.

She is the master of telling a story instead of just sing some words.

Hahaha! Another awesome react my friend! Killer outro:0. Floor is sick, so send some healing mojo her way...everyone

I've been waiting on this one. I love the original - it was done in a way to fit the movie and is brilliant - but this version is my favorite. The way Floor and the band worked together to create all these nuanced performances is wonderful. I enjoy your reactions. For your outros, you could always have set lyrics and then you can focus on a semi-spur-of-the-moment interpretation to fit the review.

Great reaction, your'e so very knowledgeable.. Love watching you !

Floor has said she has to study the song to put the emotion to it,or its just notes and words.

My subscription to your channel brought me into this masterpiece, I owe you a big thanks. I gotta have this on my phone. Thanks a bunch. Keep safe, take care always.

This is the primary thing I love about Nightwish and Floor, it is not about can I play this incredible guitar solo showing my technical prowess or can I belt this phrase in the 6th octave showing my vocal power, it is what does the song need, how can I best convey the emotion. They have no artistic egos, they just care about the music.

She sang girl both times, because she is singing this song for and to Emma Heesters. Floor is simply amazing. We all wish this show would never end. When you finish with Floor's performances on Beste Zangers, don't forget to check out Emma & Henk singing "Vivo Per Lei", it is beautifully done. Great reaction again SS-T! Love your insight and analysis. It is spot on as usual. Stay safe and see you next time.

The God Of Metal had two kids, Eric Adams and Floor Jansen, they had two kids, Dimash Kudaibergen and Diana Ankundinova, their granfathers were Matt Barlow and Ronnie James what brings me to my recommendation Manowar - Achille, Agony And Extacy In Eight Parts (best song ever made for me) Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno (live with Matt Barlow)

I'm certain that Heavens Choir was diminished when Floor came down here to sing for us. I'm so glad she has. We are all so thankful that she shares her gift and her light with us.

When you're done with Beste Zangers, I think you'd love checking out some of the Buenos Aires 2018 show from Nightwish. Floor applies a lot more of her "touch" to the songs in that show than she might have in Wacken. Sounds quite different and very unique.

The band asked, can we keep it smal Shell said yes.

You are so brilliant an 'on point' in your comment ! New subscriber here !

What I think is interesting is how YOU have grown since listening to that first Nightwish song. Maybe you should do a reaction to it again and compare from all that you have learned about her and them since then. :-)

There is also Shallow with Tim from duo episode

Henk had to turn away from the beauty of the moment.....in awe.

she plays to peoples emotions!

I love the part at 9:16 where she puts a little bit of rasp in the word. It's very subtle but it gives more emotion.

Oke, that's settled. Another song owned by Floor. Must be frustrating if she takes your song 😂. And it happens to everyone. You said true words. She not only sings very well. She performs well. Tender gestures, subtle moves if the song requires it. Strong moves if necessary. But always with an unparelleld grace that makes her gorgious and grabs your attention. The moment she "enters" the stage you are totally hooked on her. She grabs your attention and put a positive spell on you. Literally the clock stops ticking away. Doesn't matter if a song has a duration of 20 minutes ( the greatest show on earth, Nightwish), time stands still. It seems 10 seconds..... A real angel has fallen upon us.....Oke, I agree, slightly over the top. But still.....I listen to her songs thousands of time ( I am working my way through all the reaction video's out there😂), and the amazing thing is I keep getting tears and goosebumps..... That's not human. I come from a totally different corner of music, jazzrock. Was there for 40 years. And this lady managed to lure me into her cobweb. How I love it.

get well soon Floor

Maternal=sage,warm and wise yes indeed, i get same vibe...

Nice opening run, dude! If I lived in Glasgow still I'd love to be taking lessons with you.

Can you please now watch the other amazing artists who have performed on that season?

Really enjoying reactions, another performance by floor on this show was Winner... and its floor... so you know😁

Sure it has been mentioned, but the duet with Tim Akkerman she did with this song...can't recommend it enough. It really does benefit being a duet.

Do on Daily Motion, look up DeniseHofs. She has subbed some of the episodes in English.

GOAT

For the listing, see my playlists.. The whole year in chronological order. 6 Songs a week. There are also all others offcial VIDS from Beste Zangers. Because www.avrotros.nl/beste-zangers/home/ is the official website, not all links are findable on YT search. Just check my list. Put it together for non-dutchers :)

She is singing to Emma, a girl, & has said she is quite a bit older, wondering what they had in common, which of course they became friends, & think she did want to approach it in a more maternal, or as an older friend.

love your vids. have you by chance watched the full episodes?

Oh, I just can't wait till you react to episode #8, duet episode. She sings 'Phantom of the Opera' with Henk Poort, the official Phantom of the Netherlands.

Floor doesn't have a vocal toolbox. Nor does she have a toolshed. She's got a fully stocked vocal workshop ☺️

We were all gutted when this show ended. Luckily for us she’s doing a solo tour (featuring Henk Poort) and putting out a live release of it. Of course, it’s been postponed for obvious reasons. But one day you’ll get to react to all those performances too.

❤

Listen this :) after forever fornlore hope

Floor is a lot better than Lady Gaga, I love Floor❤

Thanks for another Floor's technique explanation, Sam. Awesome, interesting and educational as always. Please, could u be so kind to check (if still not) vocals of Haley Reinheart? Im sure there is pretty much vocal's "meat" to be explained. Thank you again.

Thought you initially said... "Floor...Absolute Sex"... WHAT??...Then heard "episode six?"...lol.😎 Guess we each hear what we want...Nice review! 😊

PLEASE listen to Nightwish's Ghost Love Score - Live at Wacken 2013. She was AMAZING there, everybody remembers that floorgasm.

Yea Floor takes her time to learn a song.. except that one time she had to learn a whole set list in 48 hours.

Gratulations from Nightwish army - no matter who You hear and who's voice You go throught... We visit here to support and if some wannabe wants to put u down: if someone can't accept opinion difference... 'They are welcome to listen their favorite with headphones and volume full... this not the right place to start nonstop neverending quarrel, please

Winner,same show

i think she is the best female vocalist onearth ever, but what do you think?

Lady GaGa is a very good singer, writes wonderful song and absolutely deserves all the fame she has achieved, but Floor just did a masterclass on how to sing this song that GaGa could learn from.

Hi. I just wanted to say that Floor is sick with a virus don't know which one. Floor is amazing on the show and I like the intimate setting.

Do those arms look as if they tire easily?

Please tell me, is it mandatory for reactors to drink while listening to a song?? I see it in almost every reactionvideo. Btw great reaction.

Very diverse indeed........

Have you seen VoicePlay's Moana medley featuring Rachel Potter? There's some acapella for you.

Listen to Floor Jansen's new cover from Lara Fabian Adagio, it's phenomenal.

Hmmm, Floor was excellent, as usual :-) More of the show 'Beste Zangers': in the 2018 edition of this show also starts a great talent: Davina Michelle. Pink just loved her cover of 'What about us' and she decided that Davina had to be her supporting act in The Netherlands. You can check her out on: kzfaq.info/love/NFhPxOF1NRT1QlxJzgctzwvideos I think you will like her too. Thanks for the excellent reaction (again), we all love Floor ;-)
