Something that you should know about FLOOR JANSEN. She started singing in a symphonic metal band at just 16 years old. After Forever (1995-2009). Then she created a new Progressive Metal band, ReVamp (2009-2016). In 2018 she released a personal Hard Rock project (Northward). In 2012, she was invited by Nightwish to finish their world tour, after the band's second female singer (Annete Olzon) left. In 2013 she became Nightwish's full time lead Vocalist. She is a singing teacher. She sings in Dutch, German, English, Spanish, Finnish, Swedish, Italian and Latin. She sings Heavy Metal, Trash Metal, Pop, Rock, Symphonic Metal, Arya and Opera. She even sang rap. In March 2023 she launched her first Pop solo album "Paragon". THE BEST SINGER TODAY IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

Absolutely the GOAT of singing today. I bet she would kill singing in Swedish as well today as she lives here in Sweden since 2014.
Sometimes someone will show me another amazing singer and I’ll say something like “Woah, this is probably the best voice I’ve ever heard.. besides Floor Jansen.”
In my opinion, their last album is the best one. It it the only one without Mark Jansen on guitars and vocals. While I don't mind a scream here and there and I don't think it's a proper way of singing a whole song in that manner, but I would give to Mark Jansen that he makes himself clear when he does it, it's not just a constant aggressive rumble.
@@Platica.Vasile 1) The obligatory Mark Jansen comment on an AF video that’s always wrong.🤣 2) Fun fact: ALL the vocal parts in AF were written by Floor. Yes, the gutturals too. Sander Gommans who was actually doing most of them (on the first 2 albums too) didn’t even like growling. She made him do it.😁
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 I might be wrong, but I do know what I like. Either way, growls might be useful for underlying a statement, an ideea or a feeling, but when all of the lyrics are sung or shouted in that manner, that effect disappears. That's why I like Epica when there are no growls or if they are, they are minimal.
@@Platica.Vasile Yes indeed. As a fan of classic doom metal, I don’t like growls either - especially when you have a voice like Floor or Simone. This “beauty and the beast” concept was very popular in late 90-s, but very few bands managed to execute it properly. Mark really went overboard with the harsh vocals when he started Epica…
I miss After Forever. I know Mark wasn't around anymore by the time this was released. But you two were directly responsible for gettting me into metal.
Floor shines even back then. I would have loved to see this live. Even back in the day when i was a fan of After Forever, i was to shy to go to concerts.
"can't you believe the power between us..." No, Floor, we won't ever believe that the power, you hold, is not the force of Nature! Happy New Year everyone!
Feliz, que você tem os direitos da banda a qual fundou e foi vocalista até seu fim!! After Forever faz parte da história do Metal Sinfônico ♥ e parte da sua história como artista.
You need to get out of my sight A lonely heart can beat You're too dangerous A lonely heart can bleed I cannot stand it, to be enclosed and isolated A lonely heart can be enclosed but isolated You're too much A lonely heart is weak Too dependent A broken heart will seek You take the life out of me No heart is broken forever It's broken promises But my faith is broken forever Can't you believe that this power we feel can be for real? The power that was given light now seems to freeze but why? A lonely heart will break Pressure will make me forsake you A lonely heart won't forsake me As if we're both the same Wounded and beaten but still not defeated A lonely heart can be wounded and beaten but still not defeated 'Cause I won't let you in So if it's all for real Your weakness will be my strength Your heart should be melting You might be lonely But I am not beloved and bounded forever Because we're all the same Beloved and bounded forever Can't you believe that this power we feel can be for real? The smile that was given light now seems to freeze but why? Won't you believe? Won't you embrace it? Can't you believe The power between us? Oh, discord, see them fail, oh Won't you believe? Won't you embrace it? Can't you believe in the power between us? Can't you believe that this power we feel can be for real? The power that was given light now seems to freeze but why?
They had quite a bit of changes in line-up over the years - might as well check out the wikipedia page if you want to see who else was in the band over the years.
Then you also have to name the men, such as Mark Jansen (guitar), Sander Gommans (guitar), André Borgman and Joep Beckers (drums), Bas Maas (guitar), Luuk van Gerven (bassguitar), don’t forget Joost van den Broek ( keyboards), in the last Jack Driessen and Lando van Gils. All great musicians. Sander Gommans is nowadays a teacher😊
Thank you, my dear and precious Floor, for giving us such good memories. I love After Forever and you will always be the best singer of all time for me, the most perfect in the universe. I would love for you to include more songs from the Collection: Evoke, empty memories, Estranged, come, among others.
Please floor talk with Sander and bring this band back to life we all love it and would be a beautiful gift for the culture of the world and the hearts of all your fans
That's an incredibly epic song and even better live. To be honest I like that After Forever song better than anything Floor has recorded with Nightwish.
@@ymmv99 I like Nightwish and having Floor in the band should make them better, but I’m not a fan of the songwriting since she joined. Tuomas should let Floor contribute to the songwriting like she did with After Forever and ReVamp.
@@Duude125 I fully agree. it's nice that he decided to challenge her after EFMB, but making her sing unsingable doesn't make his songwriting instantly better. She is quite skilled melody writer...

She completely altered the ending to GLS, which made it super popular, but she had to ask him if it was ok to do it, but I don't think I have ever heard him credit her for that. I'm sure there are many other songs she added to, but she is too in awe of him to say. Anywa, she seems happy being in Nightwish, and that is the main thing. Cheers Ronnie
Why are After Forever songs like this Discord one not being present in the Dutch Top 2000 All Times and other similar charts every year? Come on voting folks in the Netherlands. Ridiculous 😢 !!!!!!!
Muziek van After Forever wordt niet gedraaid op de radio o.a. omdat metal nog steeds een "negatief" imago heeft in Nederland.. Geen idee waarom, het is infeite pure onwetendheid van de grote massa.. Floor doet wel goed haar best om daar verandering in te brengen, maar het blijft marginaal allemaal..
Dear Floor - those early days songs with After Forever (and others) were phenomenal. You were already so powerful and versatile, that it was unbelievable. Happy new year 🎉
I know Floor can't say it, but I can -- damn you guys were a so good!!! Wow what a talented band! So sad that I missed all of this great Dutch / N. European metal the first time around, but thankfully the internet has allowed those of us late to the party to enjoy it now. I can't get enough discovering all of the AF discography, Revamp, Nightwish, Floor's solo work, Epica, The Gathering, Ayreon, WT, Tarot, etc, etc... I hope you know how important your music is to so many people. Love and peace to all, my friends! 😊❤✌🤘
Cuándo escuché por primera vez a after forever. Quede mas que emocionado. Los musicos y la voz. Ufffff. Tuve que comprar musica de ellos excelente banda. Saludos desde la cuidad de México
look at that emotion and passion she brings thats pretty exhilarating awesome highs wow diamonds here wow those two vocalists have good contrasts with one another and that simply awesome dutch windmill she does for like 20 seconds she owned that stage i would love to hear some of this stuff included in nightwish shows i mean songs like this discord such strong and really cool highs
nearly a min into this it sounds good already daaammmn you know and sounds pretty damn heavy and quite melodic as well those soaring vocals of hers and the harmonizing between floor and the other fella holy crap those two sound nice just by themselves but honestly like another floor and marcko the tapestries being interwoven with what sounds like a piano with when that drummer sounds when he hits some of those drum heads it sounds crystal as when Kai Hahto surgical precision sounds like a pneumatic hammer like a sound you would hear the road workers when they use the pneumatic jackhammer sound the straight forward right out the gate and then it just builds and keeps building and the ways that mix is composed holy fire of a Finnish heavy metal masterpiece with some just awesome progressive metal and did i mention the such powerful highs and thats just from the insanely soaring effortless transitions and i hear and feel and just to be able to experience those kind of not just Finnish heavy metal but with what sounds like elements of the symphonic compositions.
This is legendary. I have a poor quality file of this videoclip downloaded using that shit internet speed of 2008. I miss those old times of my life so much.
what an absolutely awesome it would be if this 15the anniversary remaster reissue of this killer debut of theirs were to chart on us billboard 200 albums music chart hot mama talk about making heads turn holy heavy metal fire ladies & gentlemen im praying it does this album the dynamics and relation that build is so powerfully cool and they start singing and harmonizing and the piano strings those guitar riff that driving drum rhythms guitars again back into that great groove with choir and that powerful vocal range those pipes holy masterpiece
Queen of the metal, there is this young brazilian singer called Anna Maz, she sings amazingly Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights and also Phantom of the Opera like you do, she likes rock... You know, one could dream about maybe a collab... At least, in case you're not aware of her existence, pretty please, with sugar on top, check her out, you won't be disappointed! You rock!
heard this song and what a good song has very dynamics such a powerfully uplifting piece of compositional music love everything about it it would be cool if floor could perform some of this really cool music with nightwish setlist

Phenomenal singer, woman and mother 🙏😊👍❤️
ever

Her windmills being epic ever since... Always and Forever
and even still "After" Forever ;-)
This sounds incredible. An After Forever classic . Love it 🫶🏻🤟🏻💪🏻🎸🎼🔥🔥

To those in 2007 who knew that this After Forever vocalist would have a big future..... you were so right.
Yep! Download Festival 2007, two tracks, hooked ever since.
I did. I just found AF and they quit straight after. I used to tell everyone that she's like the best singer ever. Well I kinda still do :)
Please bring these songs back in the solo shows.
I miss After Forever. I know Mark wasn't around anymore by the time this was released. But you two were directly responsible for gettting me into metal.

Floor the Goddess of metal opera ❤
I have been searching for a long time for high quality versions of floors earlier music, this is awesome
"can't you believe the power between us..."
No, Floor, we won't ever believe that the power, you hold, is not the force of Nature! Happy New Year everyone!
Oh, she doesn't hold that power. Her voice creates it.
After Forever & Floor rock!! 🤘
На моей полке лежит диск с альбомом "After Forever" купленный в 2007 году. Симфонический металл высшего качества! ❤
Goosebumps all over! This was amazing Floor
This has always been one of my favorite After Forever songs. Used to have that glorious orchestral intro as a ringtone back when it came out.
Feliz, que você tem os direitos da banda a qual fundou e foi vocalista até seu fim!!
After Forever faz parte da história do Metal Sinfônico ♥ e parte da sua história como artista.
This is a "Once in Century" Queen!
After Forever's self titled album is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing the music videos and for all the music. 🥰
Thank you Floor!
❤❤❤ Ach!!! After forever, Floor, the sound. This is otherworldly.
Absolutely loveing the After Forever uploads!!!
You need to get out of my sight
A lonely heart can beat
You're too dangerous
A lonely heart can bleed
I cannot stand it, to be enclosed and isolated
A lonely heart can be enclosed but isolated
You're too much
A lonely heart is weak
Too dependent
A broken heart will seek
You take the life out of me
No heart is broken forever
It's broken promises
But my faith is broken forever
Can't you believe that this power we feel can be for real?
The power that was given light now seems to freeze but why?
A lonely heart will break
Pressure will make me forsake you
A lonely heart won't forsake me
As if we're both the same
Wounded and beaten but still not defeated
A lonely heart can be wounded and beaten but still not defeated
'Cause I won't let you in
So if it's all for real
Your weakness will be my strength
Your heart should be melting
You might be lonely
But I am not beloved and bounded forever
Because we're all the same
Beloved and bounded forever
Can't you believe that this power we feel can be for real?
The smile that was given light now seems to freeze but why?
Won't you believe?
Won't you embrace it?
Can't you believe
The power between us?
Oh, discord, see them fail, oh
Won't you believe?
Won't you embrace it?
Can't you believe in the power between us?
Can't you believe that this power we feel can be for real?
The power that was given light now seems to freeze but why?
Thanks for Share Floor , amazing ❤️❤️❤️
🥹 The sound man......Thank you Floor!!!!
Great to see those old video's again.Wouldn't it be nice to also mention the other band members in the description?
They had quite a bit of changes in line-up over the years - might as well check out the wikipedia page if you want to see who else was in the band over the years.

All great musicians. Sander Gommans is nowadays a teacher😊
@@weerwolfproductions I mean the band members who were in the band at the time of this record/video clip. :-)
Beautiful done Floor! You're a blessing for our ears! Happy After Forever! 😘
Thank you, my dear and precious Floor, for giving us such good memories. I love After Forever and you will always be the best singer of all time for me, the most perfect in the universe. I would love for you to include more songs from the Collection: Evoke, empty memories, Estranged, come, among others.
If I'm correct, this video was filmed in Bibelot, Dordrecht. An old church converted to a music venue...
Powerful! 🤘😝🤘
Please floor talk with Sander and bring this band back to life we all love it and would be a beautiful gift for the culture of the world and the hearts of all your fans
This track needs more views and SHARES! What a great peek into a magical beginning🤘
❤ that song ❤

This music, Transitory, De-Energized... they continue to be the top of Floor Jansen.
Even Floor's hair whipping at 3:00 is just insanely cool!
After Forever is great. I just learned this on guitar, pretty fun.
incredible album... where's my 2007?))
Love this VOICE! One of the greatest rock vocals for me
All After Forever's music videos in 1080p, awesome !!!
I love this song! so deep and strong.
I guess i will be having a Floorathon today 😊❤
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done Floorrrrr !!!💋♥️

Always down to listen to this album any day

I heard this just once, and my fate was forever sealed.
🤘 Floor Jansen 🤘
Wow thank you for uploading these.
Wooow i love this Song
It brings back memories when the band came to play in Tunisia in 2007 😢It was, I think, the first song played during the concert. It was amazing !!!!!
DAMN this is so good!
Love you Floor S2
Happy New Year Floor!!! Please cover some After Forever song with Nightwish!!! Would be awsome!!!
obecnie Floor Jansen jest najlepszą wokalistką zespołu Nightwish
Travelling through the memory lane of my teenage years
Nice
My goosebumps got goosebumps :)

Combo of it bing metal and having growling in the songs, radiostations, especially mainstream ones stay far away from that.
Don't know that I ever saw a discord official video!
How did I miss this band and Floor back then? Not quite Floor at Nightwish-level, but really really great grooves and music!
THANKS SO MUCH FLOOR I LOVE YOU 🫶🏻✨️🎶💖
Обожаю Флор. Композиция просто убойнейшая. Классная группа была. Жаль распались.
Unas ganas de que vuelvan lpm !
a Song i have in my Playlist forever
18 years later, I still have my "after forever" tattoo...my first one.
