  • Meet Floor Jansen. The greatest singer of her generation and arguably one of the greatest singers of all time.
    Today Floor sings in a Finnish symphonic metal band called 'Nightwish', but has taken part in many other bands and solo projects over her 20 year career.

    Thanks for the love on the video guys! I want to say 1 thing because I see people are constantly arguing in the comments. The truth is there is no objective 'BEST SINGER in the World. Floor is not the certified best. Dimash is not the best, nor anyone else. Music is subjective. For me, Floor is the most complete singer I have ever heard but that is just my opinion. Also, those saying I am comparing Floor to Maria Callas' opera singing...no I'm not. Obviously, dedicated opera singers are better at opera. Floor's gift to the world is being able to sing almost anything at a high level (this girl could sing a Chinese phonebook and make it sound good) and her incredible stage/emotive performances. You don't have to agree that's she's the best, but please try to avoid hate and the silly comments. Thanks!

      With all due respect: I honestly don't understand why people make such videos at all. I mean in many cases they do it for the sake of provocation and views. But why do you then complain afterwards about the complaints? :) It's just logical that people complain. I really don't understand why people make such videos
      a) It doesn't even make any sense to call someone "the greatest" as there is no scientific model to evaluate that. Such things are subjective.
      b) It's always a provocation. It really is. And especially having Maria Callas in the thumbnail/video who's an icon of flawless vocal technique and belongs to a completely different genre is intentionally highly provocative. Luckily classical music lovers are usually not watching such YT videos, otherwise the comment section would be full with extreme negativity of opera fans who feel attacked and insulted
      c) Such things should generally not be done, and especially not by someone who doesn't have a degree in vocal pedagogy. And with all due respect: You apparently haven't. Otherwise, you wouldn't believe that you can call someone the objectively "greates" and especially: you wouldn't say it about Floor. Floor is very talented and she's also versatile and iconic in some certainw ay, but she has way too many technical flaws to consider her among the very best technique-wise. And you can't call someone "the greatest" who doesn't have flawless vocal technique. With all due respect: That doesn't make sense

      @@diversisanimaliaformis4256 Exactly as they all said.
      Perfect technique along doesn't say everything. Plus that's perfect technique most probably in specific things like classical and opera. But it's not the only way of vocalizing.
      And not only that but irregardless she has a great set of technique and strong baseline structure. Without those things she would be nothing compared to what she is today.
      And she can do many things that others with"better technique"could never do.

      ​@@diversisanimaliaformis4256 I feel very sorry for you that you feel this way. I think you don't understand that music is about more than just technique. Believing that I or anyone else needs a degree in 'vocal pedagogy' to have a strong opinion about music is very misguided indeed. You and everyone else is welcome to have whatever opinion you want. Also fun fact for you my friend as you seem to talk a lot about technique: Maria was known not to have perfect technique. It was everything else about her that made her so special despite other Sopranos having superior technique. For my money, Maria was the greatest Soprano of all, but her technique was far from perfect when compared to many of her peers, even if her performances overall were superior.

    I watched multiple videos with songs sung by Floor, and also compared - where possible - with other singers singing the same part. To me Floor is an outstanding singer, way up at the eternal olymp of top singers of the universe. Is she the best? I don't know. But she is at an awesome level pouring all of her love and soul into the song, giving her everything when she sings. What more can one ask? Her singing touches my heart, and she has a great talent, skill, and technique. Probably there are better singers specialized in opera, musical, pop, rock, metal, you name it. But Floor can do all these and more. She may be not 100% as good as each specialist in each field. But I would rate her in the high 90-98% of each of these fields. All in all she can do more than the specialists, and she uses her talents and skill while effortlessly moving - switching even - from one style and way of singing to the other, really effortlessly. Here she shines most, where most more limited singers would fail miserably. Finally, Floor has a stage presence, which supports her voice in a way that I don't see with other singers in the same way. Floor is the complete package. That makes her so special.

    This video showed some of her greatest clips but only really showed a few of her more classical/opera performances and some of her powerful belts from nightwish and revamp. I think to truly make the case for her to be the greatest ever (which I agree with), I think you need to also include some clips showing her full range. Her performance of shallow on Beste Zangers is a great example or her cover of Alone (granted there’s no good quality live version that I know of). The 3rd act of poet and the pendulum is very soft yet powerful, and she straight up growls on yours is an empty hope. There no way to put all her greatest performances into a single video but those are certainly worth including.

    It's enough that she has such amazing and versatile vocal abilities. But on top of that, her stage presence is also outstanding. She stands as tall as a basketball player in those heels she wears, and her dancing, headbanging, wind milling, hair flipping, facial expressions, hand gestures all appear choreographed and yet somehow completely natural. Combine that with her ability to rile up the audience into a fist-pumping frenzy at a second's notice, I would say she's the one, true Goddess Of The Stage.

Flash forward a few years and I was elated when it finally did happen. I just wish all of these react video people would find another song besides Ghost Love Score. For one thing, they don't even watch the best version. The Live from Buenos Aires version is clearly superior to the Wacken version. But check out After Forever's "Energize Me" and "Lonely" to see some of her best work.

    Nice video. But what puts Floor Jansen one step above the rest it's not just her powerful voice or the belting, or sustaining high notes for a long time. We all know she's a powerhouse, but it's her versatility and how she's a musical chameleon what makes her so unique, she can sing in any style, any technique, any song, and make it sound like it was written for her. Other singers can also belt and reach high notes, but she can also keep it small and soft, sing acoustic, intimate songs and still sound powerful and in total control of her voice. And last but not least she's a true PERFORMER, a storyteller, she feels the lyrics, she lives the song, she amplifies the emotion and blows you away. If it's a happy song she will make your life better, if she's singing a sad song she'll make you cry like a baby.

    To me she is. Taste is subjective but her talent is a fact.

      mmm. Freddie was an incredible singer but not necessarily the best male singer of all time. Floor Jansen is also in my opinion one of the best of all time. But I think Floor Jansen is proportionately more gifted than Freddie was. It is difficult (not impossible of course) in all musical genres to find a female singer superior to Floor. BUT it is possible in Metal and Opera music to find singers of the same level as Freddie. Some even better ... few, very few ... but there are.
