Bet she would have some cool stories. Singing in metal back when it was 99% male. Working with Devin, Arjen, etc. She even got the hermit Arjen to go on tour!
Their TG25 ode to Mozart would be a very appropriate start for TCV to remedy the absence of The Gathering (with Annie) on her channel, so just in case Lizzie sees this great suggestion of yours: "The Gathering - Travel (TG25: Live at Doornroosje - unofficial video)". Anneke as a guest would be a hoot, cuz she's tons of fun, but also very informative. She's the godmother of them all (at least in NL).
I‘m standing here ironing a huge pile of kids shirts, watching one of my favorite YT channels, and Floor just casually drops that „endless laundry most beautiful“ comment… I‘m dying!
"Once you're a mom, you're always a mom!" - brilliant! Love listening to her stories and her journey through life. What a lovely and talented performer. Thank you Floor & Elizabeth.
Not only that but Elizabeth has lived the classical side and made a serious representation for herself and studies the science of how the voice works so has an immensely superior understanding compared to anyone else I've heard critique.
I am not good at reading people, but I am under the impression that Elizabeth is fangirling and it is adorable, while Floor is so amazingly friendly and calm and simply the queen she always is. BTW: A colaboration with Lzzy Hale would be awesome!!!!
This wasn't an interview. This was so much more. This was a 'Down to Earth' conversation between two Angels on Earth. It is as simple as that. These two beautiful souls in a simple interchange have lifted us to another level. I am both in awe and totally emotionally invested. Elizabeth and Floor,thank you both. ❤
I love going back to the reaction of Ghost Love Score, the excitement of Elizabeth is just incredible, this is a canonic event, ladies and gentlemen. Can't wait!!!
@@Milo__243 My all time fave from Floor with Nighwish is also Ghost Love Score - Live At Wacken , when Floor puts everything she got in the song at ending climax. This song always gives me chills and goosies though I’ve seen that video hundreds of times and feels I never get enough of it. Floor is absolutely the best vocalist ever🤘
Me, too! There are many examples of professional singers and vocal coaches being blown away by Floor (and Ghost Love Score in particular), but a very recent one that gives some of the same vibes that you might not have seen yet is from an opera singer who watched Ghost Love Score as their first exposure to symphonic metal: th-cam.com/video/KOZVTs5hBnE/w-d-xo.html
@@JarkkoToivonensame for me- I still get overwhelmed hearing that final crescendo at the end, and the new note she added at the absolute climax.. and the crowd sure notices too!
I think this should win a most wholesome video on the internet this year award. Floor gets to shed her Valkyrie persona and just be a mom talking about mom stuff. Absolutely beautiful video from both of you.
Floor speaks, the internet listens, and Elizabeth tries to hold in a squeal. This interview was good for the soul. Lovely to hear about recording for Yesterwynde, that it was a vocal performance decades in the making. "Take your time with it", she said.
Elizabeth is adorable & so talented in her own right. I love watching her reviews on 🎶 suggestions. So bubbly and vibrant, she stands apart from the crowd.
Great interview. Floor is absolutely from a different planet. I still remember how she managed to learn all songs for the first concert with Nightwish within 48 hours. And totally killed it!
Congratulations Elizabeth! Having the Valkyrie Goddess on Tea Time is massive! Floor always seems like such a lovely and down to earth person and this was no different. One of the best and most versatile singers in the world, in my opinion.
I remember Floor singing the Netherlands Anthem before the Formula One race in Zandvoort (the reigning f1 champion is by the way the dutch driver Max Verstappen). Most of our f1 fans community didn’t know who Floor is but everyone was in awe with her performance!
Our Floor is a very humble yet impressive human being. She says she's no more important than anyone else , but she is extraordinary , a very special and inspirational role model for many . Love this Woman and what she brings to the table for all of us to enjoy , and escape to in these crazy times , it is much needed and appreciated 💕🇦🇺 Great interview Elizabeth 😁👍
I didn't think it was possible to appreciate Floor more. A ridiculously talented person who seems so grounded both professionally and personally. Her down to earth, humble approach is amazing, especially for someone with her popular stature. I see so many celebrities who need to listen and pay attention to how Floor conducts herself. Thank you Floor and thank you Elizabeth!!!
I admit, a little disappointed I didn't hear the question Elizabeth said she wanted to ask Floor if she ever got to have tea with her: "Is head banging good for the vocal chords? Does that tighten them or loosen them up?" But to be fair, I do think that was a thought from years ago, so no surprise it got missed. I have to say I love how Floor emphasizes the power of the mind and positivity in health. I have no doubt that so many minor health issues can be made worse just by the negativity and fear of getting sick. It is wonderful to hear such a positive mindset, and how it has helped her through so much.
I know she’s already reacted to a couple of the songs they played, but I would still love to see a full concert reaction from the 2013 Nightwish + Floor Live @Wacken. An absolute masterpiece from the band, and the production crew, on the recording of that performance.
YES!!!!! After 4 years of waiting, it finally happened! I'm not at all surprised Floor is like this. I'm a New Yorker who works for an American company that's a subsidiary of a Dutch conglomerate. My best friend at the office is a Dutch girl who moved here at the beginning of 2023, and she has one of those beautiful personalities where it's impossible to think negatively of her. I've also spoken with multiple employees at the parent company's headquarters in the Netherlands, and they're equally just as nice.
Elizabeth, it was your reaction to Ghost love score that I heard Nightwish for the first time. I’m 61 years old and have never looked back again. Floor is amazing and this tea time with her with you will be amazing to. I can’t wait. I thought you forgot about Floor. It’s been a very long time. Thank you in advance.
I'm with you, I was vaguely aware of the existence of symphonic metal but had never heard of Floor Jansen or Nightwish until Elizabeth's reaction to Ghost Love Score randomly popped up on my youtube feed. I don't even know what prompted the algorithm to suggest it but I'm so glad it did because to say I was blown away by Floor's voice would be would be a gross understatement.
Floor is the sweetest and one of the best humans being on earth - tbh! 🥰No way you can´t love her. What an unique soul with anvoice like an (sometimes very angry ;>) angel.
It's safe to say that this is the best interview of the year and I am so happy that you get to interview Floor. I feel so excited just by seeing this, I can only imagine how excited you were to ask all the questions and hear all the answers. Also, the new album is truly a masterpiece. Floor, the Metal Queen never disappoints us fans.
I first heard Floor in After Forever around 2007, always loved her voice, no one better in my opinion. Nightwish has been my fav band since I first heard their album Once in 2004. Her becoming the a part of Nightwish was a dream come true.
in some ways this is confusing... Floor is to me some Goddess-level persona... she can have 80 thousands people in the palm of her hand and STILL she's a simple woman, battling with diseases, worrying about her daughters and struggling with life-work balance with her husband. THANK YOU Elizabeth for letting all sides of Floor emerge. You two have so much in common. Floor may well be one of the best singer ever to be born but you are an accomplished musical prodigy yourself! 😍
For me it’s simple. She is our Valkyrie Goddess on stage with Nightwish. She can be that in her solo performances. Offstage she is a very human sensitive woman with a family both human and animal which keeps her grounded. All the work offstage creates what we see onstage performances including albums & music videos.
I absolutely get what you're saying. But as a serious reply, I think the main takeaway from this observation should be, "I wonder if every God-tier person I've ever admired is also a simple person, dealing with normal, every day crap, trying to make sense of life, too?" I don't have a definitive answer to that question, but I suspect that other than actual narcissists and psycho/socio-paths, the answer is "Yes".
@@andrewgr144 you got what I was saying and you're obviously right. There's no such thing as a Goddess walking along humans and Floor is a perfectly normal human being... With a spark of divine inside! 😉
@@davidepastore8183 most people have that spark inside. but we don't have the platform to reach the masses. Many people in our own town where we live are great people but we don't know them.
@@andrewgr144We’re all human, we all experience the same things in life. Extra money and talent only makes the experience a little easier in some ways. I wish that we wouldn’t put celebrity on a pedestal, I’m glad we’re moving a little away from that culture.
Floor is a sweetheart, imagine he she and Keanu Reeves had a child together , that kid would be so nice it would be sickening ! 😁 It's great to see an Artist of her level of skill and success , stay so humble and openly engage and interact with her audience on a personal level , she's the best 👍
Besides her phenomenal talent, Floor is just so adorable. Without wishing to sound creepy, every time i see an interview or a piece-to-camera with her I want to give her such a big hug. Such an angel ❤
My gf and I were lucky enough to talk to Floor after the Nightwish show in Amsterdam a few years ago. She’s such a lovely person! Looking forward to hear your conversation with her 💙
This interview is one of the greatest things that has happened this year so far! Thank you both for taking the time! Love you Floor! Thank you Elizabeth!
Floor talking about how nature affects her mental wellbeing is so true. I am the same.. Where i live and my job are noisy and complete sensory overloads for me. Getting out in nature is a great healer and it really soothes the soul. She is such an inspiring woman, and also very down to earth and relatable❤ she's also very funny😂
Very nice of Floor to acknowledge the importance of Anneke van Giersbergen's debut with The Gathering (she was already their third vocalist, they had been through a bunch of guys). After she became the leadsinger on the Mandylion album everything changed and female vocalists became more and more prevalent in metal. Anneke's influence can never be overstated enough.
Their TG25 ode to Mozart would be a very appropriate entry for TCV, so just in case Lizzie sees this: "The Gathering - Travel (TG25: Live at Doornroosje - unofficial video)"
Mandylion, still my fav female-fronted metal album. The Doomy Sabbath riffs with the cool, atmospheric keys, plus the soaring, hypnotizing vocals. Such a unique sound even to this day. All those imitators never recreated that masterpiece IMO.
Wow, so amazing. I think Floor gave us lots of energy and inspiration for whatever we do in our lifes. I rarely cry, but Floor makes me cry. Even during this video i wiped tears maybe 5 times.
It's absolutely lovely to watch how everyone melts and shines during an interview with Elizabeth. How they quickly realize that they are in such a safe and loving place. Also Elizabeth so well prepared every single time, that it quickly overcome any sign of nervousness from either side. Happy to be part of this ❤️
It is interviews like this, that makes all the difference on the Internet. The amount of honesty, knowledge, respect and experiences, explained right down to Earth - that was an incredible - an relevant interview 💪👍🤘 Floor is .......... Floor, using and learning from time and experiences. So bright and perfect in everything
That was quite an introduction for Floor, at the end of her burnout. As the documentary was titled, she had “48 hours to learn the set list” including travelling from Europe to the USA…
I've always found Floor as a constant on-going machine never taking take of herself. This interview sorta reflects that and gives me some sort of insight into why, and also on what she does these days to take care of herself. She's a treasure to the world, and it is important to take care of oneself.
I'm from the Netherlands, so i will say this in Dutch. Floor, meid, wat ben jij toch heerlijk "down to earth" knuffelmateriaal, ideale schoondochter enz. Laat ons nog lang genieten van alles waar mee je ons nog zult verassen.
It's heartening to see that with all the randomness in this world, somehow that voice was created in a wonderfully rational, intelligent, and humble person. I loved her voice from the first time I heard it, and now I love her as a person.
Floor! I know it's silly, but it always fills me with pride whenever people love what she does, knowing she's from this cold, rainy, watery stretch of land called the Netherlands, where I also reside.
Love this interview! Until 2013 I didn’t know Nightwish and certainly not Floor Jansen although I’m also Dutch but never heard of Floor Jansen! A friend of mine had 3 multiple day tickets to Wacken open air festival in Germany! I wouldn’t go! Not interested but when 2 days before the festival started one the guys had to go to the hospital for surgery they asked me again. Please come? So okay, I went! What happened over there is beyond words! A Finnish band with a Dutch singer! The videos of that concert are all over TH-cam! A concert, a place on this earth I should not have been, a band I should not have seen and heard!
She is so humble and down to earth, when she said that she was no better than anyone else I thought wow !! Such a grounded person. Thank you for this ``chat`` I didn`t think i could love or be more impressed with Floor and really the whole Nightwish band but I am.
YES!!! You aren't kidding when you say we've ALL been waiting! There will even be some people that will say "I didn't know I needed this, but hey - Christmas came early!!!" So excited for this interview!
When great TH-camrs do things (like this interview) that could literally NEVER happen in normal TV. Thank you Liz, Thank you Floor and thank you TH-cam.
Floor is amazing and it is so great to see and hear Elizabeth interview her... Sometimes I wonder if Floor really knows how special it is what she is doing. I mean it shows on the faces of the people visiting the concerts. But also being a mom, dealing with a horrible illness and staying a nice human being without any ego the typical star 'features'. Stay healthy please Floor, take care of yourself and enjoy family life as well.. Thanks Elizabeth!!! Great interview, I started listening to music in such a different way since I found your channel.
What a wonderful moment in time. Floor is just such a graceful human, and unique as a "celebrity" because she is so incredibly normal, all the while gifting us with an other-worldly skill. The match of this incredible voice with the greatest composer of my lifetime, along with their virtuoso brothers on instruments has gifted us with thought provoking and life adjusting music that should resonate through centuries. My high appreciation to both of you, with so very much love, for allowing us this view into your thoughts and feelings. Cheers!
Endless laundry, most beautiful ... Floor you made my day, honestly you made everyday but this one was just great! Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us, great respect! You're a great singer and a wonderful mom.
Awesome interview, to think Floor took time out of her buzy life shows what an awesome person she is. I wish we had more celebrities like her here in the US
Two beautiful (in and out) and insanely talented women chatting.. it is one of those days that you glad that Internet exists. I watch Elizabeth's reactions from day 1 and although I was sure that eventually this was going to happen some day, I still cannot believe how big this channel has become! All those great interviews, the "harsh vocals" project... it feels nice to be a part of that journey. Greetings from Greece!
That was the fastest 1 hr 45 min ever! Thank you Floor for doing this with Elizabeth. You're both such wonderful people, all the best to you always! 😊💙✌🤘
I’ve been a huge Floor Jansen fan since I first heard her version of “Ghost Love Score,” but I’ve never heard her outside of her music. This interview was amazing-thank you so much! She seems like the most humble, down-to-earth celebrity I’ve ever heard talk. You both seemed so comfortable in this interview; it was amazing. Once it got going, it felt like a conversation between two lifelong friends.
I’m not all the way through this but really really enjoying it so far! First of all seeing you beam ear to ear the entire time alone makes this great- but having this be a conversation and not so much an interview was perfect. And hearing Floor drop that F bomb made my day lol. One of the greatest singers ever is just like the rest of us haha! Floor has always come across as very genuine and very real and has the perfect balance of confidence with humility. I’ve seen nothing to change that opinion!
It is so heartening to realize that such a gifted and talented singer is an equally wonderful and amazing human being. Great interview Elizabeth! You have both given me renewed hope that the values to which all humans should aspire are alive and well! In other words.....FLOOR ROCKS!!!
When she started talking about how the song triggered that memory of her being sick, it hit me. I went through something I never thought I would get through which is losing my pregnancy and when I heard How’s the Heart again after a while, the first line “You see a mother with no child” it made me sob like proper cry my eyes out. But it helped me release that sadness I had, the loss, the anger. So yeah it does happen and l will never not associate this song to the feeling of pain I was feeling in the process I went through but is also good to know it helped me to get some peace. Thank you for this Elizabeth! And thank you Floor ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Elizabeth's reactions to both Ghost love score, and The greatest show on earth were so epic and honest and real. Elizabeth showed the true professionalism of someone who was new to the metal genre at that time. How could anyone not love Floor and Elizabeth.
"It's HAPPENING!!!!" ❤❤❤ Yeeessss!!! 😀😀😀 How many ways can express how excited i am for this!! I discovered Floor because of you!!! It was actually my first reaction video i ever watched. That was 2 years ago!! Thank you!! ❤❤
I love Floor!!!!, I want a friend like that and I'm happy that I only have a few days left to get the new album, she's great, so natural, and sweet and funny, haha she's GREAT...one of my favorite singers she always is! ♥♥♥♥
Very true it very different compared to average interviews which sound lame after this interview . No boring questions this original and different , Elisabeth style. Thanks you for best interview ever !
I fell in love with Floor and After Forever in late ‘99. Living in the US we couldn’t buy their albums in record stores because that stuff didn’t exist here. So I bought everything I could on EBay from either Norther Europe or Japan.
That's so nice of Floor to give the credit to Anneke. She really should appear here
Bet she would have some cool stories. Singing in metal back when it was 99% male. Working with Devin, Arjen, etc. She even got the hermit Arjen to go on tour!
Agree
Their TG25 ode to Mozart would be a very appropriate start for TCV to remedy the absence of The Gathering (with Annie) on her channel, so just in case Lizzie sees this great suggestion of yours: "The Gathering - Travel (TG25: Live at Doornroosje - unofficial video)". Anneke as a guest would be a hoot, cuz she's tons of fun, but also very informative. She's the godmother of them all (at least in NL).
There was no way she wouldn't mention her when asked about dutch cluster of musicians since she inspired her to pursue such a career
@@galadballcrusher8182 But there can be a difference between just mentioning and giving credit
Videos like this are what makes the internet great.
Amen!
True true
Definitely
@@charlesfuller4363 Indeed.
The Charismatic Voice and Nightwish community should be the blueprint for all societies.
Uniting everyone around the world
I‘m standing here ironing a huge pile of kids shirts, watching one of my favorite YT channels, and Floor just casually drops that „endless laundry most beautiful“ comment… I‘m dying!
"Once you're a mom, you're always a mom!" - brilliant!
Love listening to her stories and her journey through life. What a lovely and talented performer.
Thank you Floor & Elizabeth.
Wonderful! Glad that Floor took the step to connect to one of the trustworthy singing specialists and reactors on TH-cam. Looking forward to this!
I see what you did there...
I guess TCV’s 1.8mn subscribers helped…
Not only that but Elizabeth has lived the classical side and made a serious representation for herself and studies the science of how the voice works so has an immensely superior understanding compared to anyone else I've heard critique.
Right on!👍♊😉
I am not good at reading people, but I am under the impression that Elizabeth is fangirling and it is adorable, while Floor is so amazingly friendly and calm and simply the queen she always is. BTW: A colaboration with Lzzy Hale would be awesome!!!!
Definitely. It's fun to see Elizabeth star-struck.
Fangirling is an understatement. She's geeking out to the max.
I would be a ridiculous mess 😂
Elisabeth is giggling it means she adoring Floor so all good !
Can you blame her? I'd be over the moon and is disbelief! 😊❤
This wasn't an interview.

This was a 'Down to Earth' conversation between two Angels on Earth.
It is as simple as that.

❤
I've been waiting for this Tea Time interview. It would be a great collaboration to have Floor and Elizabeth doing a song together.
yea and where floor show elisabeth how to do harsh vocals cause she has the voice she just dunno how to do it without damaging her voice.
I concur
Oh my lord yes!!! That would be the duet we ALL NEED!! ❤
Man that would be EPIC. Thanks Elizabeth for such a huge interview and Floor too of course. Made my day. No, my week... ;)
Especially if it means getting Elizabeth on a stage at a metal show!
I love going back to the reaction of Ghost Love Score, the excitement of Elizabeth is just incredible, this is a canonic event, ladies and gentlemen. Can't wait!!!
My first time watching any type of reaction video was this one! Greatest musical decision i ever made besides being a piano teacher.

Nothing creepy about that, be a man now!!!
Watching these two women nerd out over vocal technique is the best thing ever!
I swear we need a podcast of them two nerding out, i can listen to it 24/7😍
indeed, because of the endurance and endless power of her perfectly controlled voice is she such a good fit for Nightwish❤
I have seen Floor Jansen with Nightwish about four times now! She is way more than incredible singer/ live performer , she is a Muse
My gf and I were lucky enough to talk to Floor after the Nightwish show in Amsterdam a few years ago. She’s such a lovely person! Looking forward to hear your conversation with her 💙
Floor's voice is unbelievable, one of the most amazing, versatile and powerful female voices IMO.
She is very good, but the world is filled with amazing talent
Thank you Elizabeth for this excellent intervju whit Floor. ❤
Thank you Floor ❤️

After she became the leadsinger on the Mandylion album everything changed and female vocalists became more and more prevalent in metal. Anneke's influence can never be overstated enough.
Their TG25 ode to Mozart would be a very appropriate entry for TCV, so just in case Lizzie sees this: "The Gathering - Travel (TG25: Live at Doornroosje - unofficial video)"
'It has always been in the back of my mind...'
Mandylion, still my fav female-fronted metal album. The Doomy Sabbath riffs with the cool, atmospheric keys, plus the soaring, hypnotizing vocals. Such a unique sound even to this day. All those imitators never recreated that masterpiece IMO.

Wow, so amazing. I think Floor gave us lots of energy and inspiration for whatever we do in our lifes. I rarely cry, but Floor makes me cry. Even during this video i wiped tears maybe 5 times.
Floor is so gracious! What a joy to see and hear her.
Dude, this is awesome. Bravo for getting Floor on the show.
It's absolutely lovely to watch how everyone melts and shines during an interview with Elizabeth. How they quickly realize that they are in such a safe and loving place. Also Elizabeth so well prepared every single time, that it quickly overcome any sign of nervousness from either side. Happy to be part of this ❤️
Floor is just.... no words... Amazing human being. Greetings from Finland :)
It is interviews like this, that makes all the difference on the Internet. The amount of honesty, knowledge, respect and experiences, explained right down to Earth - that was an incredible - an relevant interview 💪👍🤘
Floor is .......... Floor, using and learning from time and experiences.
So bright and perfect in everything
I was at Floor's second show with Nightwish in 2012. Been a fan ever since
That was quite an introduction for Floor, at the end of her burnout. As the documentary was titled, she had “48 hours to learn the set list” including travelling from Europe to the USA…
I've always found Floor as a constant on-going machine never taking take of herself. This interview sorta reflects that and gives me some sort of insight into why, and also on what she does these days to take care of herself. She's a treasure to the world, and it is important to take care of oneself.
Not me screaming that this conversation in FINALLY happening !
I'm from the Netherlands, so i will say this in Dutch. Floor, meid, wat ben jij toch heerlijk "down to earth" knuffelmateriaal, ideale schoondochter enz. Laat ons nog lang genieten van alles waar mee je ons nog zult verassen.
Two brilliant women talking about something they have extensive knowledge about. Spectacular.
It's heartening to see that with all the randomness in this world, somehow that voice was created in a wonderfully rational, intelligent, and humble person. I loved her voice from the first time I heard it, and now I love her as a person.
You will never top this guest, once in a lifetime!
My all time favourite vocalists just having a civilised chat ❤️
Yeah!!
Couldn't have even dreamed of this and it's actually happening!
OMG!!!! Floor on Team Time?!! Ok my evening is decided, now! :) Congratulations, Elizabeth!
Floor! I know it's silly, but it always fills me with pride whenever people love what she does, knowing she's from this cold, rainy, watery stretch of land called the Netherlands, where I also reside.
Absolute brilliant interview, what a lovely woman Floor is so down to earth. A true legend vocalist too
Love this interview! Until 2013 I didn’t know Nightwish and certainly not Floor Jansen although I’m also Dutch but never heard of Floor Jansen! A friend of mine had 3 multiple day tickets to Wacken open air festival in Germany! I wouldn’t go! Not interested but when 2 days before the festival started one the guys had to go to the hospital for surgery they asked me again. Please come? So okay, I went! What happened over there is beyond words! A Finnish band with a Dutch singer! The videos of that concert are all over TH-cam! A concert, a place on this earth I should not have been, a band I should not have seen and heard!
The best interview with Floor I have ever seen
We want Floor!!!! That was just great. Floor is a good sport and nice to...Thank you girls.
It's finally happening! 🤘
The Valkirye Goddess and the Metal Educator! 👑
She is so humble and down to earth, when she said that she was no better than anyone else I thought wow !! Such a grounded person. Thank you for this ``chat`` I didn`t think i could love or be more impressed with Floor and really the whole Nightwish band but I am.
YES!!! You aren't kidding when you say we've ALL been waiting! There will even be some people that will say "I didn't know I needed this, but hey - Christmas came early!!!" So excited for this interview!
This.. Was the Video of the year.. At least in my book.
Two angels finally met ❤
When great TH-camrs do things (like this interview) that could literally NEVER happen in normal TV.
Thank you Liz, Thank you Floor and thank you TH-cam.
I could listen to the two of you talking for hours on end.
Well well well... Saw Her live with Nightwish and she did phenomenal,... what a Voice .. WOW amazing
Thank you Elizabeth Zharoff for bringing to us your interview with Floor Jansen, my most favorite vocalist from My favorite band, “Nightwish.” ❤
I actually discovered Floor and Nightwish through this channel and they’ve become one of my favorite bands!
Two incredible and talented women
Floor is amazing and it is so great to see and hear Elizabeth interview her... Sometimes I wonder if Floor really knows how special it is what she is doing. I mean it shows on the faces of the people visiting the concerts. But also being a mom, dealing with a horrible illness and staying a nice human being without any ego the typical star 'features'. Stay healthy please Floor, take care of yourself and enjoy family life as well..
Thanks Elizabeth!!! Great interview, I started listening to music in such a different way since I found your channel.
Two extremely talented musicians and both are vocal nerds having a long conversation together, the excitement is through the roof, and then some!
What a wonderful moment in time. Floor is just such a graceful human, and unique as a "celebrity" because she is so incredibly normal, all the while gifting us with an other-worldly skill. The match of this incredible voice with the greatest composer of my lifetime, along with their virtuoso brothers on instruments has gifted us with thought provoking and life adjusting music that should resonate through centuries. My high appreciation to both of you, with so very much love, for allowing us this view into your thoughts and feelings. Cheers!
Endless laundry, most beautiful ... Floor you made my day, honestly you made everyday but this one was just great! Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us, great respect! You're a great singer and a wonderful mom.
Awesome interview, to think Floor took time out of her buzy life shows what an awesome person she is. I wish we had more celebrities like her here in the US
Two beautiful (in and out) and insanely talented women chatting.. it is one of those days that you glad that Internet exists. I watch Elizabeth's reactions from day 1 and although I was sure that eventually this was going to happen some day, I still cannot believe how big this channel has become! All those great interviews, the "harsh vocals" project... it feels nice to be a part of that journey. Greetings from Greece!
Congratulations Elizabeth, I know you wanted this to happen for a long time! And thank you Floor, for your ongoing generosity and love for your fans.
That was the fastest 1 hr 45 min ever! Thank you Floor for doing this with Elizabeth. You're both such wonderful people, all the best to you always! 😊💙✌🤘
I’ve been a huge Floor Jansen fan since I first heard her version of “Ghost Love Score,” but I’ve never heard her outside of her music. This interview was amazing-thank you so much! She seems like the most humble, down-to-earth celebrity I’ve ever heard talk. You both seemed so comfortable in this interview; it was amazing. Once it got going, it felt like a conversation between two lifelong friends.
Floor is such a good human being
I’m not all the way through this but really really enjoying it so far! First of all seeing you beam ear to ear the entire time alone makes this great- but having this be a conversation and not so much an interview was perfect. And hearing Floor drop that F bomb made my day lol. One of the greatest singers ever is just like the rest of us haha! Floor has always come across as very genuine and very real and has the perfect balance of confidence with humility. I’ve seen nothing to change that opinion!
It is so heartening to realize that such a gifted and talented singer is an equally wonderful and amazing human being. Great interview Elizabeth! You have both given me renewed hope that the values to which all humans should aspire are alive and well! In other words.....FLOOR ROCKS!!!
When she started talking about how the song triggered that memory of her being sick, it hit me. I went through something I never thought I would get through which is losing my pregnancy and when I heard How’s the Heart again after a while, the first line “You see a mother with no child” it made me sob like proper cry my eyes out. But it helped me release that sadness I had, the loss, the anger. So yeah it does happen and l will never not associate this song to the feeling of pain I was feeling in the process I went through but is also good to know it helped me to get some peace. Thank you for this Elizabeth! And thank you Floor ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
best floor interview not asking the obvious, need her to sing in swedish next!
Till havs 😂
Elizabeth's reactions to both Ghost love score, and The greatest show on earth were so epic and honest and real. Elizabeth showed the true professionalism of someone who was new to the metal genre at that time. How could anyone not love Floor and Elizabeth.
"It's HAPPENING!!!!" ❤❤❤ Yeeessss!!! 😀😀😀 How many ways can express how excited i am for this!! I discovered Floor because of you!!! It was actually my first reaction video i ever watched. That was 2 years ago!! Thank you!! ❤❤
I love Floor!!!!, I want a friend like that and I'm happy that I only have a few days left to get the new album, she's great, so natural, and sweet and funny, haha she's GREAT...one of my favorite singers she always is! ♥♥♥♥
Thank You, Elizabeth!!! And thank you, Floor, for doing this interview! Thank you, thank you, thank you, both!!
Having a chat with Floor was a long cherished wish
The best interview i've ever seen in my life. Floor is my favourite singer. Thanks Elizabeth
Very true it very different compared to average interviews which sound lame after this interview . No boring questions this original and different , Elisabeth style. Thanks you for best interview ever !
Yess so glad to see Floor on here! Vocal goddess for sure
Ya gotta love Floor! Such a decent besides remarkably talented individual!!!!❤
I fell in love with Floor and After Forever in late ‘99. Living in the US we couldn’t buy their albums in record stores because that stuff didn’t exist here. So I bought everything I could on EBay from either Norther Europe or Japan.
"Not made in America", embargo!
