According to many vocal coaches on You Tube, Floor is one of the best female vocalists in the world. Tuomas said "Floor is a dedicated charismatic vocalist" and what I have said before "Floor is a gift to Nightwish". Floor is so versatile and as a front-woman she is in a very high league.
Rather strict stylistic and technical qualifiers may apply to such a shoddy blanket statement. (I mean your first sentence.)
many people agree with the first statement, I know it"s subjective but...
Hi all. Pretty late up there. Such a beautiful cover by Floor. Sir Joost van den Broek is on the piano. He played the keyboards with After Forever, Floor’s first band. He still works with Floor on her solo stuff and also plays in Ayreon and Star One. He also produces for a lot of bands like EPICA for instance. He got knighted for his contribution to music. In Ayreon, Intergalactic Space Crusaders live you can see him with 9 keyboards including a Hammond. A song I suggested several times. You will love it. Later. Here is a link. th-cam.com/video/mDjomu33Xzc/w-d-xo.html. Another link with the subtitles th-cam.com/video/yO6TisCHGhA/w-d-xo.html
I concur! Diggometer will need upscaling with ISC. They should do the whole Ayreon Universe live concert imo.
I concur. Ayreon Universe is a great concert with lots of great singers including Floor in several songs.
I Concur
I concur
It must be obvious to anyone these days that Floor Jansen is without a shadow of a doubt a LEGEND in her own lifetime.
I can't tell you just how powerful her voice is having heard her in person for the first time, no video can prepare you for the experience of witnessing Floor in person.
Floor made several videos of her covering songs during the Covid lockdown in her home studio. My personal favorite is m83’s Oblivion. Floor is definitely my favorite female vocalist, but Ann Wilson may very well be the one she supplanted, and is probably still my second favorite. Heart made this song a hit, but they weren’t the original version. They covered it. It was originally done by a band called i-Ten, as a duet.
Man, Oblivion is pretty great. I played that video a lot!
Yes my favorite cover as well
Floor used Joost's track. He was keyboardist for After Forever. They had a cover of Alone also. He did some co-writing with Floor. But now she has another Dutch co-writer and producer Gordon Groothedden He produced Her latest singles for the upcoming album. Her singles so far include Fire, Storm, and Me Without You. Fire and Storm were filmed in Helsinki Finland by a professional production company. Me without You was shot by Hannes Van Dahl. Floor will have her radiation treatment in February during Nightwish break. Floor will do a small tour of her Solo stuff in the Netherlands and Germany in April and May. Nightwish resumes their tour in June for festival season. Somehow recording the new Nightwish album will fit in somewhere. Probably late Summer and Fall .
As people often say - Floor could literally sing the phone book (which she did) and we would all be listening in awe
Ite wase beautiful ❤️🤘❤️🤘
Sir Joost van den Broek on piano .
Ann was an influence to her she dose it great you can tell she's a fan of heart I get tears she's an angel from heaven the piano was pretty too love this cover
Ya'll should do Floor and Henk Port doing "Phantom of the opera" on Beste Zangers television show.
Okay souls, you've asked for it.. You simply HAVE to explore the "Beste Zangers 2019" goldmine of all things Floor! I'll try to keep this short (..) and post a follow-up with all the necessary links. So Floor's current solo adventure got kick-started during the legendary 2019 edition of the Dutch TV show, "Beste Zangers".
In English this transl. 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 other ones 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 TH-cam 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 non-Dutchies, it's best to go with the English subbed versions that I'll provide the links to. 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 chat and also tend to get blocked increasingly. In my follow-up to this comment, I'll post the links that will get you guys started. Enjoy! Cheers from Amsterdam!
I concur, you will love beste zangers. I explained it in a email I sent to you a couple of weeks ago. Please do the before and after. You still have to do the links Brendon because I didn’t send them.Thank you.

i concur, did swing the Sanchez links at them, go with what you want theres no wrong choice:)
Cool 😎 Brendon, Cheers from USA
In her home studio filmed by Hannes.
During the covid she sang a few covers for the fans at home, this was one of them (i think Ann Wilson can be proud). Another great song in that period is ADAGIO (cover from Lara Fabian).
A little correction - it's i-10 that made 'Alone' - but it was Heart that made it famous.
Floor has done this cover on many different gigs: After Forever, ReVamp, Nightwish (on the cruise), her solo tour - and her cover here to her fans during the Covid-19 lock-down.
She is at least as good as Ann Wilson, and more powerful.
I bet Hannes got his hair blown off during his filming of this 🤣🤘🤘
Ahhh the “anguish” she conveys!
Try singing vocals like these sitting down!!
So gorgeous.
Her covers of Euphoria and Oblivion are wonderful too.
Have you guys reacted to her 3 singles from her solo orientation rekeased this year? They are AWESOME. Fire, Storm, and Me Without You.
tears everytime...god she is so good
🇫🇮👍Both the original & this cover are so great that nobody should enjoy them alone.
Joost Van Den Broek is on the piano.
Joost is the pianist who also joined Ayreon the day that the world brakes down. He was the pianist in one of her former bands and he is definitely amazing!
Sir Joost Van Den Broek Was the Keyboard player in Floor's first band Afterforever and worked with Arjen on his Star one and Ayreon projects. He is good friends and a fellow song writer with Floor and has helped her with some of her songs this one is just one of them. If anyone could give Tuomas a challenge on keys it's Joost. Lol. Good thing they're all friends.
Update on Floor taking to the stage after her surgery. This is the video I've been looking for these past days. Knew that she got overwhelmed by emotions at the end of "Sleeping Sun". Here it is: "Nightwish - Sleeping Sun (emotional Floor at the end) Antwerp, 20 november 2022" - th-cam.com/video/GZrSZeBpDKU/w-d-xo.html 🙏🫂
The great Ann Wilson, I my eyes her predecessor, will be very pleased. Her successor indeed has her own site project and the real music lovers will enjoy songs and versions like this besides Floor singing NW songs…..
Grew up with Heart (crazy on you, etc) and will die (someday) with floor.....singing
Beautiful and Powerful Floor Jansen ladies and gentlemen!!! And on keys, Sir Joost van den Broek, longtime friend and bandmate from Floor's "After Forever" days.
NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
floor and simone are real treasures
Sir Joost van den Broek was on the piano. He was with Floor in After Forever. You also saw him with Ayreon on the piano...Arjan joked ' in the day the world died' that Joost is a solid friend but still a LUL ( a dick)....
Guys now you have to listen to Floor singing Shallow live on Beste Zangers. It’s even better…
HELLO 👋 TIM AND 😀 MAX AND SHARON
And by the way, ,Someday I will get my face book page up again....Been writing here and there, and it's time consuming...working on a symphonic metal tune now...Field of Flowers...it is a vocally challenging female riffs with a powerful heavy male vocal....Tomakazi and I write lyrics faster than the band can learn them. I have projects in mind...Dang I wish I could write with Marco...also green screen, animation...Tons of Nightwish Sabbaton ,Epica influence...I get a lot of inspiration from the Nightwish Army. More is more an Epican thought. IF animal showed up more to rehearsal I have a couple contacts at Arista, Flip and I recorded with in Nashville many moons ago....We are so backed up with new material....Oh Drummer where Art Thou? But Anyways, Toumas has had gigantic influence on recent writings Especially on the keys...Both Tomakazi and I were writing lyrics yesterday....I see it coming soon 🎵 🎶 Song Wars 😆 lol. But it's funny, no harm done friendly fire....We need to go full time music....Alex and Preston from Globalize Entertainment are awesome....Just waiting for the drummer 😉 to show, take care and God Bless
@@crissyperry1080 I am so happy for you that you have got all this inspiration from the symphonic metal. I can’t wait to hear it all. 🫶🤘
@@crissyperry1080 hello my darling! You are the only one that social media prevents me chatting to ( some might say that’s a blessing😀 for you)
@@timchambers8230 😆 you guys can talk to me here all you want...I will answer back
Simply " WOW " 💥
You perhaps remember Sir Jost van den Broek, the Piano Artist in Aeryons The Day the World breaks down? Thats his Piano Track. She did many great Covers and great Solo Songs, much more Poppy but always Floor. Great emotional Music. And i am absoluter Sure, you would love the Show Episodes of sing my Song, both Dutch Show and german one( 2019/22), where she did participate. they are all worth an Watch:).
Theres an Epoisode with Sanchez Rolf, dutch/ southamerican spanish speaking Singer. Great Guy, but compared to Floor as Singer, *caugh* okok:) who did an breakup song, very swingy and poppy, and then came Floor and sang it, love this one.) or how an Buddy puts it:
Scott Iverson
vor 3 Jahren
A Dutch born, non Spanish speaking front woman for a Finnish symphonic metal band singing Latin American salsa in Spanish. Think about that for a second. Then, not just singing it, but killing it. Absolutely unreal.
original not for Recap just for Comparison:

Very interesting information, thanks so much
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours @2ndhandsouls!
Floor Jansen's cover of i-Ten's Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly's "Alone" is right up there for me with Heart's, and I am a huge, huge Heart fan.... telling my age a wee bit, lol. When Ann Wilson belts that one run at about 2 minutes into the song, I get chills everytime and there is no telling how many time I've heard this song and played it. One of the first songs I learned to play on the keyboard was "Alone"... that and Europe's "The Final Countdown." Same thing with Floor. I've heard her sing this, I've lost count by now, but when she just belts out that killer vocal run at around 2:30... goose bumps every time.
I'll probably be the 100th person to say this but the pianoist on this cover of "Alone" is Joost Van Den Broek.
One of the first songs I learned to play on guitar was Heart's "Barracuda," and I've always wanted to hear Floor do a cover it as well.
Adagio is another great cover floor does of course she doesn't sing a bad song God bless
GOD Bless
Love this song and Floor certainly gives me goosebumps when I listen to this…awesome!
Hearts acoustic version live in Seattle is also a must watch! Thanks guys.
my favorite floor cover..its so good
Please react to Tommy Johansson The leadguitarist in Sabaton and his cower of Alone of Hearth No it,s not a joke He have the range
He is also the guy behind a lot of Floors cowers
He is an multiinstrumentalist and cracy talented
When I heard Heart's cover back in the 80's I thought WOW, Then Floor came along and I thought DAMN! Now please react to Tommy Johanasson's version.
Amazing COVID cover by Floor, but my favorite: Floor singing Adagio, a Lara Fabian tribute ❤
You certainly didn't expect THAT!😊But that's Floor - she is so versatile that she always manages to surprise her fans in the most beautiful way!Even after many years as a hardcore fan,you don't know which gift she will unwrap next.
Actually the Heart version was a cover of a song first performed by i-Ten but of course everyone thinks of Heart because it was the definitive performance. Until now. LOL.
"Alone" is a song composed by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, who recorded it under the name i-Ten on their 1983 album Taking a Cold Look. So.... "Alone" is not a Heart song ;D Heart did also a cover.
If you ever get a chance to watch the one of her live with some of the members of NIGHTWISH... It truly stands out.
🇬🇧 Norfolk never alone !
if you wanne hear this live look to floor jansen joost van den broek stationsplein 1-6-08 alone
🎼🎼👍🇳🇱🎤💕
You're opening that rabbit hole I see. Floor's covers are very memorable. Her performance on the Dutch TV show: "Beste Zangers" made her a legend with the non-metal community. Her covers of the songs Euphoria, Winner, Shallow, Que' Se Siente, etc... are now legendary. She blew everyone's minds. Artists and viewers both. Winner is my favorite, but viewers really freak out over her duo with opera singer Henk Poort. They are singing Nightwish's version of Phantom of the Opera. This song was retired by the band after Tarja left and is known to be the quintesential song for the original Nightwish. The End of an Era DVD performance shows this. Floor's version though is sensational in its own right. On the show Floor sang in German, Spanish, Dutch, and English. Spectacular performances! Pick a song, sit back and enjoy your popcorn! Keep rockin'.
Yep, definitely Floorgasms. 😇🤘🦾❤️
Oblivion is also a great one 1⃣
The piano was played by Joost van den Broek. He and Floor are old friends, have worked together. Joost also directs the (rare) live concerts of Ayreon. If you search out Ayreon Universe you will find many if not all live songs on which he participates. You did not like Ayreon "The day that... ' too much, but the live shows are much different and vivid. Did you know Floor has a sister who sings too? Did you know Michael Mills can belt a b5 live on stage? You will find surprising contributions and appearances....
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘this was during the corona pandemic, at her home in Sweden!
Floors first performance on this show was, the Vilja Lied.
I was a fan right from the first minute.
Floor did this song a long time ago with her first band After Forever. That's where she got the piano track.
This is one of the songs she did while in pandemic lock down.
Two things in this performance just get to me every time the first being she's sitting down in a rocking chair while she's doing this LOL and the second thing is how far she is sitting away from the microphone......... Almost begs the question what is she doing when she stands and she gets closer LOL I think we all know the answer to that one 😉
This was done during Covid restrictions She recorded this at home *Sweden) in her den. No members of Nightwish were involved due to travel restrictions, they could not even go see each other in person. They were all stuck in different countries.
I'm not sure who was on the piano, but it might have been her husband. I think tinkering with this song and a couple of others was her segway into recording her solo album. While stuck at home, she began to experiment with non-rock singing styles.
She DIGGIN ITE AGAIN AND AGAIN AMEZING EPIC GOOD GOOD REACTION LOVE ITE, I MEEN I DIGGEN ITE 🤪🤣🤣its not Tuomas. Your wase thogeter still about the song, You never lising the same to the orginele song, you always think an Floor if this song one the radio 🤘🤘❤️❤️🤘🤘SHE IS THE GODNIS OF THE ANGELS SONGS A BEAST ONE STAGE .SHE DIGGEN ITE ALL TOGETHER BRETAWAY. I THINK TOO THUIMS HAVE A DUBBELE FLOORGAMSE O YES HY DIDE YOU THE REST HAVE ONE FLOORGAMSE .BUT TOO THUIMS YES HY HADE ITE ALL TOO TIMES,, ,,FLOORGAMSE,,,YOU NOWE WATE THATE IS ,,,,
Yes two thumbs-up from me
@@crissyperry1080 too THUIMS fore you to Crissy Perry. Your a amezing loflie girfreind ❤️❤️🤘🤘❤️❤️
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm so grateful for Nightwish and Floor and their fabulous fans!
The pianist was not Tuomus. Don't remember the name. I absolutely love the accompaniment to this. I play and teach piano so that definitely stands out to me.
Joost van den Broek, he has a bachelor in Music production & keyboards (at the conservatory of Amsterdam), and is alo music producer for metal- and rock bands like Epica , Powerwolf, Blind Guardian and Blackbriar.
Happy 😊 Thanksgiving Lisa
happy thanksgiving souls and folks
😊 Happy Thanksgiving Megadog555

oh and how about that bass on the last stand swedish flag wrap
Y'all got to see Euphoria now!
Floor and a piano - nuff said!
Winner is beautifull
Floor is amazing....And Tommy Johansson (guitarist Sabaton)version🇸🇪I hope that Floor and Tommy do something together....
🥲🇫🇮❤️🎤🎼✨💙🤘
Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate and Happy Thursday for everyone else. A wonderful cover, but not as good as the heart version with Ann Wilson. Heart was one of my favorite bands in the 80's and I still have all their albums (but oddly, no turntable...hmmm. Well, I also have the CD's). An awesome lament love song, makes me choke up every time. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, stay safe, God bless, and keep rocking.
Floor covers us so well. You should react to floor covering shallow and winner. It's on a European show zesty bangers or something like that. I think you guys would like both those songs that she covers
the show is called "Beste Zangers" which is Dutch for "best singers" (its a great show whith many great songs by Floor, and others, especially for they year 2019 in which Floor participated, with songs like Phantom of the Opera, Shallow and many others).
P.S. Zesty bangers... that's a good one!
@@rientsdijkstra4266 yeah I couldn't exactly remember the name of the show been a little while since I watched anything from it. So I sort of guessed . It's from Finland isn't it?
@@danwhite9644 Ah, ok I understand,... No, Nightwish is from Finland, but Floor is Dutch (from the Netherlands), and Beste Zangers is also Dutch
Hi, nice reaction
Good one.
Doing it all while sitting down.
I do feel kind of sorry for people whose songs Floor covers. They always lose their ownership.
To make a cover like this at home in lockdown is quite something.
Note also that those powerful highs are delivered on a sitting position...
Thank you for reacting to this - I knew you would enjoy it! Another one you must do is Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera. This just about broke the internet when it came out; you will know why as soon as you hear it. th-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/w-d-xo.html

Ann and Nancy Wilson are Floor's favorites as strong female fronted women in rock history.
And not 'Alone' Floor .....
And you didn't pause once. Sometimes you don't have to.
Sitting.
I couldn't hear long hair guy in the last couple videos bc he's too far from the mic. He's my favorite lol 🤣
Thank you , I concur
Another amazing song out of the rockin' chair. It would be nice to see you reaction to Dutch Metal Artists for Serious Request (Red Cross) in 2014, The Power of Love (cover of a song by Frankie goes to Hollywood).th-cam.com/video/zRh60UXUdeE/w-d-xo.html

i cant hear it anyother way.
the audio track from years ago was better than this...check it out
this was recorded in Floor's home studio, during Covid, which is in the hayloft of her barn (she lives on a farm in Sweden with her husband and daughter)
