    As a Dutch person I also had no clue about the band Nightwish. I heard about Evanescence and Within Temptation ofc and find they made beautiful music....but until recently I came across Nightwish on YT and I was WTF!?! How come we never heard of this band in NL and the singer is even a Dutch woman? I first listened to Ghost Love Score (Wacken 2013 version) and I was WOW!! ThIs kind of music sounds magical! The chemistry between the members is just awesome. So I tried a few more songs of that great festival and I was totally blown away....literally every song was just a masterpiece. The composition, the deepness of the lyrics, the great instrumental plays and ofc last but not least ‘our’ finally famous Dutch singer Floor. Floor is amazing...not only as a. singer but also as a person. Great personality! Her musical talent is out of this world. I never heard a person sing so many genres in 1 voice. Some TH-camrs call her the female Freddie Mercury...which I can agree with...some ask ‘how many voices does she have?!’ And so on. Im really grateful my generation can witness a band like Nightwish. Just after a few days Im a big fan now. Keep up Floor!

    What a gift she has been to Nightwish. Finding someone who could handle the vocals for those songs would be hard enough, but finding someone who is the whole package with the vocals, the stage presence, who actually loves the music, and being beautiful is a bonus! Not something that comes along very often. She is the missing puzzle piece for Nightwish.

    I am a 53 year old Australian male who through venturing down the you tube rabbit hole one night struck upon Nightwish and ultimately Floor. For a man who was one that hated heavy metal, I love Nightwish and the genre. In my opinion, Floor is the most astounding female vocalist on the planet at the moment, tragically not as recognised as she should be. The series Beste Zangers has introduced Floor to a whole new audience. Floor and Henk performing Phantom of the Opera is the penultimate version of this song. Love her!!

It's an interesting choice of words 'cause I think this is what makes her such a remarkable singer and a perfect fit for Nightwish: she's is a storyteller. She seems to understand each song as a script that needs to be interpreted to the audience so they can get the exact emotions behind the words. Great interview!

      I think she is. She had a burn out in 2012 i think, and she learned the hard way - like so many of us - that you need to take care of how and what you spend your time on. And I know the Nightwish team is also very focused on making sure that everybody takes care of themselves and have down time for their respective families. And also if they wish bring the family with them on tour. In that sense they are not very rock'n roll ;-).

    I wouldn’t have rediscovered Nightwish with Floor if it weren’t for TH-cam reactions. I’m an old old fan from the beginning thru the end of Tarja. Nightwish was such my favorite band that I recoiled in anger and disbelief when Tarja left. I listened to literally only a few seconds of Nightwish with Annette and hated it. Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013 is what brought me back full force with tears in my eyes.

    First off.. Floor, you're a godess. Nothing more and nothing less. You give me goosebumps every time you sing and have brought tears to my 45 year old male eyes more than once.
    Second. The dutch audience and listener have evolved, however, the dutch radio unfortunatelly haven't. If you talk to people on the street, they actually listen to a way broader range of music than what is played on the radio. Dutch radio is very directed at young people and pop. Still. It's also one of the reasons radio is slowly dying in the netherlands, and streaming services are taking over, as people are getting fed up with getting those meager pop songs stuffed down their throats.
    In the 80's a band like Metalica (yes, I know, different kind of music) would be rated by the average dutch person as 'hardcore hardrock'. These days, they can be played on the radio, and sparsely even are. Even Queen was considered hard rock once.
    That being said, I don't think nightwish is radio music. Or, better stated, I think Nightwish is more than radio music. It's a show, including light effects, screens, possibly pyrotechnics, and so forth. Just listenling to it on the radio, is selling yourself short. You need to go see it.

    Until 15 minutes ago I really thought she just learns the lyrics and she is ready to sing a song. Now that I know it's much more complicated and that she needs to figure things out and practice makes it even more awesome, because I know there is not only talent behind it, but also dedication.
    And just an observation - she instantly gets emotional when she mentions her daughter. That makes her so much cooler, because she feels more human... earlier I thought she is a metal goddess that brought back Nightwish to me. And again don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that she is most important in Nightwish or something like that. I'm just saying that a band needs all it's pieces working together perfectly. If one piece doesn't fit it makes the whole thing not working as it's supposed to. But thankfully now Nightwish has it's all elements in perfect harmony and I can't wait to hear them live again.

I wish the music scene in canada and the usa weren't so fixated on north American bands and opened the door to more bands from around the world. Wacken 2013 is by far one of the best live performances I have ever seen of any band. It still amazes me.

      Indeed. I first liked Nightwish back in the Tarja days (Oceanborn etc) but during Annette, i didn't like it and some how stopped following the band. For some reason I only found out Floor joined Nightwish only 6 months ago (where have i been?), and now been listening and watching everything she's done after joining and also her former work. I feel with Floor, Nightwish has regained the fusion what makes Nightwish, Nightwish :)

  • @Harolddespui

    Floor underestimates her own input into (Dutch) people getting into metal now, she thinks she is not that important and doesn't want to be famous, that it should be all about the music. She wants to promote metal, not herself.
    She's wrong. Floor is such an incredibly good vocalist, many people want to hear HER, which makes the genre she sings in less important.

      @stormrideroftheli 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I certainly don't know you and I certainly don't know if you're a metalhead. Therefore, I may be wrong, but your comment makes me think you don't understand her Metal heart. You see her exclusively as a superb singer but you don't see her as a metalhead and that's a big mistake. Floor has a 25-year career behind her in this musical genre, and it's simple, that's because she loves this music. I think that's your next mistake, underestimating that feelings of hers, in general the feeling that Metal musicians and fans have for this musical genre. A feeling from which you can learn a little, if you're interested, in the documentary "Global Metal" by canadians filmmakers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn. Have a nice day.

      I understand what you're saying, but the thing is, Floor very much chose metal and metal chose her. I mean, even her husband is a metalhead -- he is the drummer of Sabaton. All of this to say, both the metal genre as well as the people in it (the metal community, if you will, both in Europe and outside of it) are very important to her. Sure, she can sing in different styles and she obviously enjoys that; she is very versatile. And I *completely agree* that if she were to sing from a phonebook it would definitely sell out, lol. But, she will always put metal first and that's a fact. Money can't buy what's closest to one's heart; for Floor, her love for metal is priceless.

For me this makes perfect sense, knowing a lot of NW music is about Life, Nature, Earth, Biology, Astronomy etc. So apparently Floor and (most of) the guys made the connection regarding the implications of eating meat. This can't get any better I guess. I'm now a fan for life :-) :-)

    When i was young (i'm a teenager of the 80's) I thought Metal was all about noises and screams.
    I contented myself with listening to the clichés and prejudices. And besides, I didn't really have a mentor, someone who could have introduced me to the genre. But in 1999 I discovered Nightwish. The group opened the doors to a whole new universe for me. He showed me that Metal can be many things and very diverse. He made me want to listen to other metal bands.
    Thanks to Nightwish, past and current band members.
