I have not sang many pop songs in my life and found it a challenge to cover such a song without making it into a super heavy version. Instead of heavier we made it more like a ballad. To sing it so small, keeping it like this even when it goes up higher was the true challenge. But what a beautiful song. Also, you can stream it on Spotify and all other streaming services! 🇳🇱 - Vanavond heb ik het OSCAR® winnende nummer "Shallow" van Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper uit de film A Star Is Born uitgevoerd. Ik heb niet veel pop songs gezongen in mijn leven en vond het een uitdaging om zo'n nummer te coveren zonder er super heavy versie van te maken. In plaats van heavy hebben we het meer als een ballad uitgevoerd. Om het zo klein te zingen, zelfs als het hogerop gaat, was een echte uitdaging. Maar wat een prachtig nummer.
I'm 60. I'm a metal dude. I don't cry at stuff. Over the last few weeks, there have been idiots walking into my lounge room every Saturday evening peeling onions. @Floor Jansen - you're amazing. Also I've enjoyed the other singers on the show. Henk, wow!
Of course I'm just falling all over myself about Floor like everyone else....but hell yes...Henk is SUPER IMPRESSIVE. To me, he's well beyond "wow". I would so much love to see NW manage to have him as guest vocalist in a song or two at a couple of their next tour venues. Either alone or duet with Floor or trio with Floor & Marco. That would be so magic the word "epic" couldn't begin to describe it!
Floor is like Mother Earth. She can sing loud and powerful like a thunderstorm, but also sweet and delicate like a nice summer's day. Je bent geweldig, Floor!
Yeah especially Ghost love score. After I heard what Floor sang in wacken live, I couldn’t listen to the original studio version anymore, no offense but it’s just not the right one.
Dear Floor Jansen, I'm not sure you realize how many people you touch when you sing. People with anxiety, depression, when everything is and seems horrible, your voice soothes. Gives hope.
She is mágical. I passed the Last month with a lot of anxiety and stress, I was near to mind break and the time I Spent hearing Floor músic was the only time at day I could be in peace. Eternal thanks, Floor.
some people are lucky enough to have a nice voice. Then there is Floor Jansen. She can sing any style any note, probably in any key. Opera, gritty rock, metal, pop, adult contemporary. She literally might be the best singer in modern times and that's really not an exaggeration
I agree with you! And I also want to add, that there are people who are lucky (and hardworking!) enough to have an angelic voice such as Floor's, and then there are people lucky enough to live at the same time as they do. That's us. We may not have the luck to have her talents, but we have the luck to be able to listen to her sing on recordings and even live. I feel so lucky that I get to live when Floor does and listen to her sing like this!
Yes it is.. Original will always be the original. In terms of delivery & vocal.. Floor had presice control on her vocal & deliver seemlessly in live version
Just stopping by to revisit this piece. Yup... still incredible. Floor's phrasing is absolute perfection, and the tonal range from breathy and delicate to powerful and commanding is masterful. And that vocal fry at 3:03... Completely controlled, adding so much weight to the phrase. This is a privilege to listen to.
I was driving to work today and the original song came along on the radio. I am so used to this cover that it hit different. This one feels like a hug..
I don't know if the guys from Nightwish are watching Floor in this show, but if they are I reckon they are thinking how fortunate they are to have the best female vocalist in the world singing with them!
I once saw Floor singing an old Nightwish song from Tarja days, that people said haven't been played live since Tarja left Oh the smile on Tuomas's face, I bet there was a time he thought he would never see that song played live again by them, Tarja left a big shoe left to fill, and Floor finally comes to bring them to greatness once more
Im a grown ass man but anything floor sings brings me to tears. And Henk looks like a proud father here which is such a beautiful thing. We need more of this in our lives. No matter what language we are ALL part of this earth. It’s a team effort. At the end of the day whatever you believe in, we’ll all end up in the same place. Good or bad. This cover breaks my heart. But also gives me so much hope. Such a lachrymose feeling every time I hear her voice. Hope I have angels half as good to sing my final swan song as I’m lowered into this beautiful planet we ALL abused
I never clicked that fast on a video and am actually crying again because it is so beautiful. Hopefully Floor never ends doing music stuff! Floor is one of my favourite singers and my mum loved this song. Guess I will have to show it to her tomorrow.
I knew I was doomed as soon as I knew which song she'd be singing!! Not particularly sad lyrics, but oomph, they hit hard with Floor in the driver's seat!
@@hellkat71 I read two minutes before this video was publishes what she would be singing. Before that I didnt know why people were writing that they are now always refreshing. Well I stopped what I was doing, refreshed my youtube page and in that second the video was uploaded. It was so good timing..so perfekt :)
@@Tuovi-ve2mk nice!! I was at work, and writing some notes. I took a quick break, and remembered that the next Beste Zangers episode was due out soon. I checked out TH-cam and found that three songs had been uploaded already. So I had pretty good timing too 😁😁😁
Gesang, der Klang und die Farbe einer Stimme sind absolut Gefühls- und Geschmacksfrage...in diesem Augenblick ist Floor der unangefochtenste und unerreichbarste leuchtendste Stern welchen dieser Planet zu bieten hat! Egal was sie singt oder interpretiert...einzigartig, mitreißend und niemals so dagewesen...meine Hochachtung deines Talents und Könnens... best women singer ever!!!
Shivers and tears , What Floor just did with this song is really magicial and phenomenal . Even if it was pop or anything, Floor got this and can sing literally anything you throw at her, Thank you Floor from the bottom of my heart!
@@dragonseye00 a little mouse told me today they have officially finished recording for the album as of right now, there will be ~3 months of mixing now... :D
@@DeniseHofs they already finished the recording? Wow, time flies by, I still remember the video of floor confirming they'd have just started the reversals ☺️ We'll still have to wait until spring though ☺️
What I love the most about, Floor, is that she seems to be so humble. It´s like she´s not aware of how great she is but every single time she sings she realize how good she is. And that smile, that smile could light up the darkest place on earth. She is so genuine!!
Omg, we should appreciate Floor for being so versatile. Honestly, she is a metalhead, but she not just sings metal, but Rock, Opera, Pop, Ballads and Folk during this show! She should get an award for nailing all Genres! ❤️🤘🏽
the fact that this is live is absolutely incredible. many singers spend hours in the studio trying to achieve something like this that Floor just delivered in one amazing performance
SignalsMusic its a band that perform live for years. Do a lot of the music halls. This program is running 10 years aready. But its dutch craftmanship to have the sound and everything else topnotch. And the good singers who dont mind to step out of thier box. That the ingredient for a very good program. Thank you for appreciating it. Proud dutchman who happy that its not going over drugs this time.
Freddie was more infectious in a way Floor cannot be because she is more technically perfect. It was Freddie's very forward placement that got him in trouble at times live. But that placement also gave him a warmth that very few singers in rock have ever had. But Floor is still growing as a singer after all these years of performing live and hitting stratospheric notes, so what she's doing is more sustainable.
@@MadanRajaRock both have caught me, Freddie first, now Floor gave me the shivers. Cannot say who is the favourite, they both have an exceptional vocal range!!!
ik ben 75 en heb haar een tijd geleden ontdekt en ben wild enthousiast hoeveel muzikale gedaantes deze vrouw heeft en verbijsterend mooi kan vertolken...ik heb inmiddels veel concerten op you tube gezien en gehoord en ze heeft me zelfs over gehaald om een kaartje te koen voor haar optreden volgend jaar waar ik nu al naar uitkijk...ze is de topper iedere week weer
I can only say again what has been saud before: "Other singers sing only, what they can. Floor sings everything, that she wants.". Flawless, magnificient, a true delight to listen to. You bring joy to so many people. May you live a very long, happy and healthy life, Floor.
Wow... I have no words, this was absolutely beautiful, the fact that she can keep a relatively 'shouty" (at parts) song so quiet yet still full of emotion & impact is beyond me, you are absolutely insane Floor :') ♥
Did you notice that Floor Jansen used 3 kinds of accents, as well as different tone depth. Soft female American accent for Lady Gaga. Deeper southern accent for Bradley Cooper part. And then she change her (Floor) voice to her normal soft pop voice.
@@1973Grejluder I didn't deeply analyse that, but yes, the different tunes and texture have been very notable. Not many can pull this off in such an elegant way, and making it look so effortless.
Floor Jansen, my name is Anthony for me your vocals are magical.. I'm someone who when I was young I was very emotional person but lost sight of those emotions through some things that had happened in my life that were really bad... I emotionally needed to be able to cry again to get the emotions of some people passing away in my life.. I simply just could not cry, but I will tell you this.. YOUR VOICE YOUR SINGING ANYTHING YOU SING IT'S POWERFUL TO ME PERFECT AND WONDERFUL... YOUR SOFTER BALLAD SONGS ARE THERAPEUTIC FOR ME THEY GET ME EVERY TIME I WEEP AND I CRY LIKE A BABY BECAUSE OF THE SHEER BEAUTY AND POWER OF YOUR VOICE THANK YOU... I HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU ARE SINGING ON THIS PLANET FOR MANY MANY YEARS TO COME GOD BLESS YOU FLOOR JANSEN...🎵❤️🎵❤️🎵❤️🎵❤️🎵
Simply put, @@cjbrett89 - Tati doesn't go as high as Floor, but Floor doesn't go anywhere near as low as Tati. But ultimately, Tati has a more audible versatility in her vocals and singing style than Floor. That doesn't mean that one or the other is bad, obviously, but Tati encompasses far more aspects and genres within (and outside of) metal which makes it objectively more warranted to consider her the "Metal Queen" as opposed to Floor. Granted, they're both Queens in their own right and if they could make an album or at the very least a song together, that would be swell.
psmitty840 “Floor basically has all the range above that” almost implies that Tatiana doesn’t, which she does. Most people are so mesmerized by Tatianas distorted vocals that they do not really pay any mind to her clean vocals. Tatiana also goes high, but admittedly not quite as high as Floor - at least not on record. But she does go considerably lower. The only thing that Tatiana does not do that Floor does is operatic vocals. I agree that comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges, but when someone claims that Floor is the overall best female vocalist Tatiana definitely comes to mind because she has more versatility. But again, obviously they’re both insane.
It is funny that whenever populair media in the netherlands talked about the best female singer, they always talked about anouk. I honestly think most of them didnt knew floor exsisted
If floor jansen is a pop singer she'll be a fucking star. Most people of the world doesn't recognised her because she's in a metal band. But, in my heart she will be always a fucking star.
I feel like her interview for this show must have gone something like this: Producer: so on this show we're gonna have singers in different languages, song styles, and vocal ranges. Do you think you can handle some of those? Floor: Yes Producer: Which do you think you can handle? Floor: Yes....
more like Producer: so on this show we're gonna have singers in different languages, song styles, and vocal ranges. Do you think you can handle some of those? Floor: Yes Producer: Which do you think you can handle? Floor: hold my beer!
Unbelievable. Flawless technique and so much emotion. I’m a HUGE Gaga fan but this rendition does more than justice to the song. It brings it to a completely new level. Breathtaking.
Ok,hear me out here...I'm at my 50's,I used to be a metalhead,but in my heart,I'm always a goth.Floor...I'm not just in love with your voice,your precence,your humility...You have literally saved my life.And I mean that.Way to go girl...and I'm not flattering anyone here,but you have the most magnificent voice on ANY genre.Keep up the good work girl,we're lucky to have you...
It doesn't matter what song she sings, she makes it her own. Her vocal range is absolutely insane. Is there anything this woman can't sing? Seriously a singing goddess.
their faces!... even Henk was like.... she admires... me??!!! so amazing to see how you take all of us into a beautiful journey with you every time every song! what a time to be alive!, Floor just admit you are not from this earth!... we be watching you!
You're literally the best vocalist I've ever heard. God only gives the World a very few people your gift. The thing is you've worked very very hard to make it even more beautiful. Thank You Floor for your hard work and sacrifices to bring all of us the joy of music!!
All of them were trying so hard not to cry! Just shows how much impact her voice has on people. Most singer’s voices strike in the heart but Floors, it just strikes you in your soul.
I love you Floor... I introduced your music to my students who've never heard of symphonic metal in their lives... they instantly fell in love with you... love from Asia...
What a great comment! Pls look for the channel: Beth Roars. A scottish vocal coach, living in London. And reacting to many songs from around the world. Brilliant analysis! I found so many brilliant singers through her reactions! Greetings fron the far north of Germany!
@@peterdoe2617 Agreed. Of interesting note: Fans tend to defend the person they follow or sometimes make wild assertions like "best in the world". When one goes to TH-cam and listens to vocal coaches like Beth from Bethroars these professionals do not make such wild assertions. I like Beth. She has quite a few videos on TH-cam and she explains to me what the artist is doing in terms I can understand. FWIW there is another vocal coach I ran across who discusses all three Nightwish lead female singers and how they did what they did (or still do in Floor's case).I wish I could recall her name for you but she is the only vocal coach I found on TH-cam who did this. She uses one song that all three Nightwish singers sang and breaks their voices down beautifully. Never once does this vocal coach say that one Nightwish singer is better than the other. Good luck to you in your profession and hat tip to you for being a teacher.
@@christopherchick6419 Thanks Chris, for giving me credit! But I'm not a teacher, not even a singer. I just like to comment and even give hints, if I have some information to share. (Mostly about cooking. Which also is an endless topic, where people can learn from each other.) I'll find a quick example for that: Mike Greenfield on "Philly cheese steak" And I've already been baking the bread as well as using the beef fat: (a story about the hype about "the best": this contains some research:) th-cam.com/video/D9Vn2i6uwZY/w-d-xo.html We live to learn!
I just love how she's surrounded by not just professionals but a handful of those deemed to be the nations best singers and they are all just blown away by her talent.
haha nope, youve been living under a rock like many people because the name tag is ''metal'' . Metal is extremely big, you can think of it as rock/pop/hiphop/opera/blues. we have all of that within metal with MANY underrated artists like Floor especially in her own country sadly.... being a metalhead here in the netherlands can be difficult as we are judged by looks and the name metal, directly resulting in being an outcast. i havent met any person who thought the same after saying a simple ''hi'' but fact is most will only try to avoid you here.
I am so very sorry but no cover so far has beaten the original, and apparently none will. As heavenly and extraordinary as this was, I have to agree this may be THE best Shallow cover, I can't imagine no one doing what Gaga did on the song's climax. This is one of the songs you can't not say, "That song is Gaga's." However, to each their own, that's how I see it.
People need to stop comparing the 2 and feel compelled to state who is better. They sang the song differently, Gaga belted out this tune with all her lungs because she was singing at a freakin' stadium or large venue and needed that effect for the movie. Floor Jansen is re-interpreting the song as a soft, breathy rendition in front of an intimate audience of less than 10 people. They are both phenomenal in their version. End of story!
floor belting this out with all her lungs would literally just humiliate gaga so it's better she went for the original approach omg; like gaga is clearly a good singer but lacks the technique imo
@@SoulofAetherym Yeah the only singer in Top 40 pop who can do pop, rock, country, jazz and wowed the Oscar crowds with Rodger and Hammerstein lacks technique. LOL
Well... Floor Jansen and Lady Gaga are my favorite singers ever. Without a doubt. So this has been literally the best thing I’ve ever heard. Both of them mean so much to me. I’m not exaggerating, it might sound like It but I’m not. I’m sitting here, goosebumps all over, crying. Thank you so much.
I find it so amazing. She challenges herself by singing songs that aren t her usual one, and everytime i m blown away by her incredible voice and performance. So awesome
Been a fan (obviously) of Floor for years... Been now starting to think history will soon consider her the greatest voice in modern time. I just feel privileged to have lived through her being so generous to be sharing her God given talent and voice with the masses.. ❤
Recuerdo que mi hijo prendió el televisor y por casualidad estaban preciso pasando Beste Zangers. Yo seguí en lo que estaba en mi teléfono hasta que de repente, escuché la primera nota que entonó Floor de ésta canción, mi mirada se dirigió inmediatamente hacia el tv, y mi reacción fue: wuauu, pero qué voz la de esa mujer!!! Le parece mamá? Preguntó mi hijo, y yo: esa mujer canta espectacular, quien es? Qué Marco Borsato, ni Gerard Joling, ni Froger ni qué ocho cuartos, por artistas como ésta es que siempre he dicho que todos esos viejos cantantes con musica pinga se deben pensionar. Luego busqué a Floor en TH-cam y aja, ja wel!!! Tremenda artista. Al dia siguiente me he dedicado a escuchar nightwish toda la mañana. Jamás me había interesado la música metal, pero gracias a Floor ahora soy metalera ha ha ha. Ya quisiera yo ir a un concierto de Floor o Nightwish pero mi dolor de espalda no me permite estar de pie largo tiempo, jammer.
Wat mogen wij als Nederlanders trots op haar zijn, wat een geweldige stem. Top top. Wat verschrikkelijk mooi, jammer dat Floor nog zo "onbekend" is in Nederland. Hoop dat daar nu verandering in gaat komen, wat een top zangers.
Every time I’m listening to floor, with or without nightwish, I get tears in my eyes... her voice is sooo emotional, it’s incredible, and she is absolutely fantastic to look at on stage
I have not sang many pop songs in my life and found it a challenge to cover such a song without making it into a super heavy version. Instead of heavier we made it more like a ballad.

@Ton Hermans You mean the 12th season. ;) That's a LOT of episodes.
100% agree!
Sadly this is the last season
the only good thing from 2020, I discovered this Goddess called Floor Jansen
Welcome to the club!
She is amazingly gifted🥰
Factz
The best part is that you cant find a bad performance from her on YT. ;)
Than you must call everyone here bigbro 🤣
Yes she is the best female singer of our times. No doubt.
Everybody who Loves 💝 Floor. Thumps Up 👍
Song long Hour, but did it Bro! Did it💟
Yep!! Though its thumbs up...like sign language for yes or okay in some countries 👍👍👍😁😁😁 Cant help but love our Floor and her gorgeous voice!
Hell yes! :D
👍
By 1 second ❤. Have a nice night Bro!
Oh Floor. My god this woman is an absolute treasure for the world. Just FLOORnomenal. Thank You!
Finally I found the real vocalists that I want to hear the rest of my life , Floor Jansen. The best of all on planet earth.
Just imagining this with Marco makes me shiver.
Edit: him playing on a classic guitar and singing the male counterpart.
hell yes!
Now that would be amazing indeed... Who knows, it wouldn't be the first time they sing some more intimate songs together
calmyflory Yesss!!
Make This Happen.
Omg that would be AMAZING!
I wish there was a Floor Jansen version of all the songs on this planet. She can literally sing anything and make it her own.
I' be happy enough if just they can provide Floor Jansen's version for the albums Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum.

Nailed it!!
I was thinking about clever comment but I'm just in love with this woman, I can't say anything more.
Yes
Yes, that is really how you feel now
That is a clever comment. :-)
... take your ticket and stay in the line...
i have the same problem .. always trying to say something awesome ..but there are no words to describe Floor's talent :)
Here I am, a full grown man in his mid thirties, an affinity for big beardy metal music, weeping like a 13 year old school girl... Thank you Floor 😉

Lol 😂🤣
She could never 😂

i've said it more than once. her greatest gift is her story telling.
My queen singing Lady Gaga. This is more I could have ever asked for! Never would have seen this day coming. Unbelievable!

Shivers and tears , What Floor just did with this song is really magicial and phenomenal . Even if it was pop or anything, Floor got this and can sing literally anything you throw at her,
Thank you Floor from the bottom of my heart!
i think even Tuomas is having floorgasms right now.
I hope he'll listen to what she is doing in this show, and gets a bit of fresh inspiration for the new album ☺️
@@dragonseye00 a little mouse told me today they have officially finished recording for the album as of right now, there will be ~3 months of mixing now... :D
@@DeniseHofs they already finished the recording? Wow, time flies by, I still remember the video of floor confirming they'd have just started the reversals ☺️
We'll still have to wait until spring though ☺️
I think the other guys in Nightwish are pinching themselves again, wondering how they managed to get her in their band.
@@JayTor2112 I have to agree with that!!! They complete her, and she them musically in a way few pairings ever have.
What I love the most about, Floor, is that she seems to be so humble. It´s like she´s not aware of how great she is but every single time she sings she realize how good she is. And that smile, that smile could light up the darkest place on earth. She is so genuine!!
Omg, we should appreciate Floor for being so versatile. Honestly, she is a metalhead, but she not just sings metal, but Rock, Opera, Pop, Ballads and Folk during this show! She should get an award for nailing all Genres! ❤️🤘🏽
She's not just a metalhead...
She's a *music*head.
In some songs/sets she sings all of those styles. Poet and the Pendulum, Greatest show on earth, My walden
the fact that this is live is absolutely incredible. many singers spend hours in the studio trying to achieve something like this that Floor just delivered in one amazing performance
This, more than anything is what makes it
SignalsMusic its a band that perform live for years. Do a lot of the music halls. This program is running 10 years aready. But its dutch craftmanship to have the sound and everything else topnotch. And the good singers who dont mind to step out of thier box. That the ingredient for a very good program. Thank you for appreciating it. Proud dutchman who happy that its not going over drugs this time.
Kinda sad though because it only takes training and technique.
snowwhitewitch to become good or being able to sing different songs in other genres?
@@henkoosterhof5947
To become good.
Well both.
Did you hear that thud in the background? That was Lady Gaga passing out from a Floorgasm.
That cracked me up lol
👂👀👂
Hahahaha
She is out of this world. Like Freddie Mercury was. She's the female version of Freddie Mercury for me.
She does have a similarily insane vocal range. :)
She is good but not like freddie Mercury
Freddie was more infectious in a way Floor cannot be because she is more technically perfect. It was Freddie's very forward placement that got him in trouble at times live. But that placement also gave him a warmth that very few singers in rock have ever had. But Floor is still growing as a singer after all these years of performing live and hitting stratospheric notes, so what she's doing is more sustainable.
@@MadanRajaRock both have caught me, Freddie first, now Floor gave me the shivers. Cannot say who is the favourite, they both have an exceptional vocal range!!!
Freddie never make me cry, Floor does
ik ben 75 en heb haar een tijd geleden ontdekt en ben wild enthousiast hoeveel muzikale gedaantes deze vrouw heeft en verbijsterend mooi kan vertolken...ik heb inmiddels veel concerten op you tube gezien en gehoord en ze heeft me zelfs over gehaald om een kaartje te koen voor haar optreden volgend jaar waar ik nu al naar uitkijk...ze is de topper iedere week weer
Oke 75
I can only say again what has been saud before: "Other singers sing only, what they can. Floor sings everything, that she wants.". Flawless, magnificient, a true delight to listen to. You bring joy to so many people. May you live a very long, happy and healthy life, Floor.
Wow... I have no words, this was absolutely beautiful, the fact that she can keep a relatively 'shouty" (at parts) song so quiet yet still full of emotion & impact is beyond me, you are absolutely insane Floor :') ♥
I couldn't agree more Denise
Lots of Love for Denise! 💟
I think that Floor´s usage of dynamics is more advanced than in the original.
Did you notice that Floor Jansen used 3 kinds of accents, as well as different tone depth. Soft female American accent for Lady Gaga. Deeper southern accent for Bradley Cooper part. And then she change her (Floor) voice to her normal soft pop voice.
@@1973Grejluder I didn't deeply analyse that, but yes, the different tunes and texture have been very notable. Not many can pull this off in such an elegant way, and making it look so effortless.
Floor Jansen, my name is Anthony for me your vocals are magical..
I'm someone who when I was young I was very emotional person but lost sight of those emotions through some things that had happened in my life that were really bad...
I emotionally needed to be able to cry again to get the emotions of some people passing away in my life..
I simply just could not cry, but I will tell you this..
YOUR VOICE YOUR SINGING ANYTHING YOU SING IT'S POWERFUL TO ME PERFECT AND WONDERFUL...
YOUR SOFTER BALLAD SONGS ARE THERAPEUTIC FOR ME THEY GET ME EVERY TIME I WEEP AND I CRY LIKE A BABY BECAUSE OF THE SHEER BEAUTY AND POWER OF YOUR VOICE THANK YOU... I HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU ARE SINGING ON THIS PLANET FOR MANY MANY YEARS TO COME GOD BLESS YOU FLOOR JANSEN...🎵❤️🎵❤️🎵❤️🎵❤️🎵
Floor Jansen’s voice is like it’s inherited from angels.
2K views in 7 minutes. Beautiful rendition by a beautiful woman. Well done warrior queen!
BEST FEMALE SINGER EVER.
And not just within the metal genre, apparently.
I don't know, we also have Tatiana Shmailyuk to consider.
@@nexieane7577 Tatiana is great but she doesn't even have close to the range Floor has.
Simply put, @@cjbrett89 - Tati doesn't go as high as Floor, but Floor doesn't go anywhere near as low as Tati.
But ultimately, Tati has a more audible versatility in her vocals and singing style than Floor. That doesn't mean that one or the other is bad, obviously, but Tati encompasses far more aspects and genres within (and outside of) metal which makes it objectively more warranted to consider her the "Metal Queen" as opposed to Floor.
Granted, they're both Queens in their own right and if they could make an album or at the very least a song together, that would be swell.
psmitty840 “Floor basically has all the range above that” almost implies that Tatiana doesn’t, which she does.
Most people are so mesmerized by Tatianas distorted vocals that they do not really pay any mind to her clean vocals. Tatiana also goes high, but admittedly not quite as high as Floor - at least not on record. But she does go considerably lower. The only thing that Tatiana does not do that Floor does is operatic vocals.
I agree that comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges, but when someone claims that Floor is the overall best female vocalist Tatiana definitely comes to mind because she has more versatility.
But again, obviously they’re both insane.
It is funny that whenever populair media in the netherlands talked about the best female singer, they always talked about anouk. I honestly think most of them didnt knew floor exsisted
If floor jansen is a pop singer she'll be a fucking star. Most people of the world doesn't recognised her because she's in a metal band. But, in my heart she will be always a fucking star.
She is too good to be a pop singer.
She has a far better voice then 99% of pop singers she is exceptionally gifted.
She is a star, you are just listening to the wrong genre!
@FatalPies so fuckin true
All the Metal singers are true Stars
There are levels of singers: good singers, great singers, and incredibly awesome singers.....and then Floor Jansen
She’s truly in a league of her own.
Definitely, No one tops her.. Not even close👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉
I feel like her interview for this show must have gone something like this:
Producer: so on this show we're gonna have singers in different languages, song styles, and vocal ranges. Do you think you can handle some of those?
Floor: Yes
Producer: Which do you think you can handle?
Floor: Yes....
accurate
:-D ...
Everyone on the show is a singer. Each episode they sing songs for one of them that mean a lot to them or a sing they released!
I'm cackling with laughter because I can genuinely believe that !
more like
Producer: so on this show we're gonna have singers in different languages, song styles, and vocal ranges. Do you think you can handle some of those?
Floor: Yes
Producer: Which do you think you can handle?
Floor: hold my beer!
Why am I in tears right now??? Floor could sing a nursery rhyme and I would be a blubbering mess. She is magnificent
There is a video of her singing from the Dutch phone book and it is in fact INCREDIBLE.
Unbelievable. Flawless technique and so much emotion. I’m a HUGE Gaga fan but this rendition does more than justice to the song. It brings it to a completely new level. Breathtaking.
The voice of Floor is something else, so heavenly, so versatile, so powerful, so beautiful ❤️ She is precious 😭
Ok,hear me out here...I'm at my 50's,I used to be a metalhead,but in my heart,I'm always a goth.Floor...I'm not just in love with your voice,your precence,your humility...You have literally saved my life.And I mean that.Way to go girl...and I'm not flattering anyone here,but you have the most magnificent voice on ANY genre.Keep up the good work girl,we're lucky to have you...
It doesn't matter what song she sings, she makes it her own. Her vocal range is absolutely insane. Is there anything this woman can't sing? Seriously a singing goddess.
We have a saying: "Other singers sing what they can. Floor sings what she wants."
I love Henk's expression at the end of the song. It looks like he's on the verge of tears
Floor is so humble that she says this was a challenge to sing. I think she owned it. She is amazing.
Seriously, the way she caresses every single note just DELIVERS the versatility of the song so well.
Her falsetto's got me all over places.
Floor is just the best female singer ever, plain and simple
I think Ariana is the best singer and vocalist of our age, but Floor has a beautiful falsetto and great technique
@@Vasilia4 nel
The way Floor interprets songs is simply beautiful ❤
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what perfection looks like.
their faces!... even Henk was like.... she admires... me??!!! so amazing to see how you take all of us into a beautiful journey with you every time every song! what a time to be alive!, Floor just admit you are not from this earth!... we be watching you!
Floor has the voice of a metal angel able sing just about anything there is on this world... Clearly floor is from another galaxy.
Best part of the day, new Floor!
I literally cannot think of a more versatile artist. Floor is simply amazing.
nina hagen. sorry
I love how someone goes "Whoo" and Henk's face turns into: how dare you, she's singing!!!
Yeah. It's a song that has to be listened in absolute silence.
You're literally the best vocalist I've ever heard.
God only gives the World a very few people your gift.
The thing is you've worked very very hard to make it even more beautiful.
Thank You Floor for your hard work and sacrifices to bring all of us the joy of music!!
All of them were trying so hard not to cry! Just shows how much impact her voice has on people. Most singer’s voices strike in the heart but Floors, it just strikes you in your soul.
October 2021, autumn falls. Listening to Floor. Anyone else?
By far and away the best female vocalist of her time. Truly magical performance.
I love you Floor... I introduced your music to my students who've never heard of symphonic metal in their lives... they instantly fell in love with you... love from Asia...
What a great comment! Pls look for the channel: Beth Roars. A scottish vocal coach, living in London. And reacting to many songs from around the world. Brilliant analysis! I found so many brilliant singers through her reactions!
Greetings fron the far north of Germany!
@@peterdoe2617 Agreed. Of interesting note: Fans tend to defend the person they follow or sometimes make wild assertions like "best in the world". When one goes to TH-cam and listens to vocal coaches like Beth from Bethroars these professionals do not make such wild assertions. I like Beth. She has quite a few videos on TH-cam and she explains to me what the artist is doing in terms I can understand. FWIW there is another vocal coach I ran across who discusses all three Nightwish lead female singers and how they did what they did (or still do in Floor's case).I wish I could recall her name for you but she is the only vocal coach I found on TH-cam who did this. She uses one song that all three Nightwish singers sang and breaks their voices down beautifully. Never once does this vocal coach say that one Nightwish singer is better than the other. Good luck to you in your profession and hat tip to you for being a teacher.
@@christopherchick6419 Thanks Chris, for giving me credit! But I'm not a teacher, not even a singer. I just like to comment and even give hints, if I have some information to share. (Mostly about cooking. Which also is an endless topic, where people can learn from each other.) I'll find a quick example for that: Mike Greenfield on "Philly cheese steak" And I've already been baking the bread as well as using the beef fat:
(a story about the hype about "the best": this contains some research:)
th-cam.com/video/D9Vn2i6uwZY/w-d-xo.html
We live to learn!
I just love how she's surrounded by not just professionals but a handful of those deemed to be the nations best singers and they are all just blown away by her talent.
How could you not be, it's incredible
What an amazing live performance, the best cover version of this song really even better than the original. Great job Floor Jansen, i love you !!
Take good care of Floor Jansen the Netherlands, she is your national treasure ❤
I never expected a metal singer to have such a gentle voice what is life right now? Am I experiencing a new genre of music?
haha nope, youve been living under a rock like many people because the name tag is ''metal'' .
Metal is extremely big, you can think of it as rock/pop/hiphop/opera/blues.
we have all of that within metal with MANY underrated artists like Floor especially in her own country sadly....
being a metalhead here in the netherlands can be difficult as we are judged by looks and the name metal, directly resulting in being an outcast.
i havent met any person who thought the same after saying a simple ''hi'' but fact is most will only try to avoid you here.
Metal has always made "gentle" songs since its birth, they are called ballads. I don't blame you for not knowing it, it's a niche genre.
She is the lead singer of the Finnish band Nightwish, which is a "symphonic metal" band. Bands like these often have opera trained singers! :)
How can something so "Shallow" become so deep?
Floor can make it so!
Sensitive and strong in one, Floor is the Queen. Better than the original, and that is a huge compliment from a Lady Gaga fan.
Better than the original is a stretch. It may be according to your opinion though but for me, nothing beats the original.
Not better but it really is one of the best covers of shallow
I am so very sorry but no cover so far has beaten the original, and apparently none will. As heavenly and extraordinary as this was, I have to agree this may be THE best Shallow cover, I can't imagine no one doing what Gaga did on the song's climax. This is one of the songs you can't not say, "That song is Gaga's." However, to each their own, that's how I see it.
@@anicoperfler2158 I agree. What Gaga did, no one ever will!
She also did a great cover of Bad Romance which is on TH-cam. I loved the operatic touch to it.
I just listened to this three times and it just kept getting better just wow this is so good !
Everything in the voice of Floor can reach the perfection. She's a Wonderful Valkyrie. Guys, greetings from Peru.
People need to stop comparing the 2 and feel compelled to state who is better. They sang the song differently, Gaga belted out this tune with all her lungs because she was singing at a freakin' stadium or large venue and needed that effect for the movie. Floor Jansen is re-interpreting the song as a soft, breathy rendition in front of an intimate audience of less than 10 people. They are both phenomenal in their version. End of story!
AGREE👍🏻🤘
Beautifully said my friend amen.
But Floor's is better XD
floor belting this out with all her lungs would literally just humiliate gaga so it's better she went for the original approach omg; like gaga is clearly a good singer but lacks the technique imo
@@SoulofAetherym Yeah the only singer in Top 40 pop who can do pop, rock, country, jazz and wowed the Oscar crowds with Rodger and Hammerstein lacks technique. LOL
She has natural beauty and the voice of an angel.
My ten millionth Floorgasm
My first Floorgagasm
EnigmaT1m :D
she sang bad romance with revamp. So if you wanna have another floorgagasm... just saying :D
Lol..
hahahaha
Good one! ROFL
Well... Floor Jansen and Lady Gaga are my favorite singers ever. Without a doubt. So this has been literally the best thing I’ve ever heard. Both of them mean so much to me. I’m not exaggerating, it might sound like It but I’m not. I’m sitting here, goosebumps all over, crying. Thank you so much.
same here
Floor vind ik de beste Nederlandse zangeres!
Emma>
Mee eens!!!
En ook de beste internationale zangeres!
@@warmink1973 heel goed Dimitri👍
I find it so amazing. She challenges herself by singing songs that aren t her usual one, and everytime i m blown away by her incredible voice and performance. So awesome
Omg. Massive festival crowds or an intimate setting, it makes no difference. Beautiful stuff, Floor.
Been a fan (obviously) of Floor for years... Been now starting to think history will soon consider her the greatest voice in modern time.
I just feel privileged to have lived through her being so generous to be sharing her God given talent and voice with the masses.. ❤
I can't find the Floor emoji to express how her performance makes me feel.
I am sure somebody is working on that since there seems to be growing demand for it. ;-)
🎶🎵⚡☄🔥
🌹🥰😢😊😢😭🥰🌹🌹
Must be fraktal like so you can zoom in endlesly

Floor Yansen!!!! Amazing!!! WHAT a VOICE!!!!
Recuerdo que mi hijo prendió el televisor y por casualidad estaban preciso pasando Beste Zangers. Yo seguí en lo que estaba en mi teléfono hasta que de repente, escuché la primera nota que entonó Floor de ésta canción, mi mirada se dirigió inmediatamente hacia el tv, y mi reacción fue: wuauu, pero qué voz la de esa mujer!!! Le parece mamá? Preguntó mi hijo, y yo: esa mujer canta espectacular, quien es? Qué Marco Borsato, ni Gerard Joling, ni Froger ni qué ocho cuartos, por artistas como ésta es que siempre he dicho que todos esos viejos cantantes con musica pinga se deben pensionar. Luego busqué a Floor en TH-cam y aja, ja wel!!! Tremenda artista. Al dia siguiente me he dedicado a escuchar nightwish toda la mañana. Jamás me había interesado la música metal, pero gracias a Floor ahora soy metalera ha ha ha. Ya quisiera yo ir a un concierto de Floor o Nightwish pero mi dolor de espalda no me permite estar de pie largo tiempo, jammer.
Florecita tambien estuvo en after forever por cierto muy buena banda
Wat mogen wij als Nederlanders trots op haar zijn, wat een geweldige stem. Top top. Wat verschrikkelijk mooi, jammer dat Floor nog zo "onbekend" is in Nederland. Hoop dat daar nu verandering in gaat komen, wat een top zangers.
Echt hè, ze is geweldig 😍
Ze trekt volere zaale dan aal sie mensen daar
Whoo! I understand what you're saying! (I'm Afrikaans) 😎
Every time I’m listening to floor, with or without nightwish, I get tears in my eyes... her voice is sooo emotional, it’s incredible, and she is absolutely fantastic to look at on stage
So was the girl that made supremacy fired from nightwish? Im still kinda stusying a lot of artists in the metal community.
My absolute favorite female vocalist ever
Love the little smile and shrug when she sings 'girl' instead of 'boy' in verse 2 :D
Whenever Floor sings my heart is feeling so warm and joyful
Floor always amazing, and Emma´s smile gives you 10 more years of life
Floooooooorgasmssss!!!! 😍 you are the best. Goosebumps allover my body!!! Thank you Floor. ❤🇳🇱😍
