Symphonic metal is a wonderful new world for those who are not usually interested in metal. And it is inhabited by many Dutch singers and bands - There is Floor (Nightwish), Simone Simons (Epica), Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation), Charlotte Wessels (Delain) and Dianna von Giersbergen (ex-Xandria).
All three songs were LIVE and that last one with Nightwish was before 80,000+ fans at the great Open Air Festival in Wacken, Germany. That was 3 really good examples of Floor's vocal ability but still not a complete intro, the woman is just sensational. I will admit that even her die-heart fans were stunned by her performances on Beste Zangers. As always she demonstrated her class, grace and empathy as the most talented non-diva there is with her several thank you videos to her fans (old and new). That is Floor no matter what she always appreciates her fans and lets them know it, that is why she is so loved and respected by those that experience her (one never merely listen to Floor). Great reaction and I am glad you gave Nightwish a chance to impress, I am not a growling or scream fan but Nightwish is my favorite band and if you listen to more of the great Wacken concert you can see why Floor is the perfect fit as they are very diverse in their songs from ballads, metal, folk metal (flutes and bagpipes), slow jazz and Pop. Floor handles all of that and then some as her Beste Zangers songs show there is NOTHING that this woman can't sing and probably in any language either if she decides to. Well done and thank you on behalf of Floor's die-heart fans for giving our Goddess of Metal some love!! I will say that you Dutch produce some fantastic female vocalists (Floor/Nightwish;Simone/Epica; Sharon/Within Temptation; Charlotte/Delain; Anneke/Vuur &Gathering; Dianne/Ex Libris) not to mention all the other great Dutch vocalists leading other bands and in other genres, yours is one amazing country!!!!
Thank you so much for checking out these amazing songs. You Dutch can be so proud of Floor just as we Finns are proud of Nightwish. Now you can understand better why we love this amazing lady so much and that she is part of this brilliant band. I hope you get to know more about Nightwish and Tuomas's great compositions in the future... Thanks again 🙂🇫🇮🇳🇱
Cool songs choice for reactions. Floor Jansen is a versatile singer, her song's interpretation that she sung was incredible. Thanks for added Nightwish song in this video guys 👍
The Phantom was incredible. That last note blew the roof off of the studio! Also thank you very much for listening to Ghost Love Score. As you can see it takes a very special singer to bring the Nightwish songs to life. Floor is that rare and magical singer.
Awesome reaction Pauline & Jeff, thank you so much! I'm so so so glad that Floor is finally discovered and respected in her home country too. She really deserves all that hype. There's no other vocalist in this universe than Floor. As a Finn and as a long-term hardcore Nightwish fan I'm also so happy that Nightwish got her and she got NW. It's a match made in heaven. She wasn't feeling well at the time she jumped in NW, but she made it. And she raised NW to whole new level! Every Nightwish fan followed her journey in Beste Zangers and fell in love of those songs she sang there. TH-cam blew up right away when the show started and Floor's performances got easily 1 to 2 million views like only in few hours... When I heard "Mama" on that night I didn't understand but a word "mama" 'cause it was Dutch, but her delivery made me cry like a baby. And I'm really not the only one. People all around the world were eyes wet as well while listen to her. You really should be proud of her, like I said there's no one like Floor in this whole universe and she happens to be Dutch.
It's great that you like our video so much. We really woke up in the Netherlands with Floor. And whatever you say she deserves the attention hell is a fantastic singer. And Jeff and Pauline have really become a fan of hers. Again great reaction.
Greetings from The USA (near Seattle)! I enjoyed your reactions very much. I've only recently discovered Floor (because of Nightwish) and was DELIGHTED to watch all 8 episodes of Beste Zangers, such talent and versatility from all of the singers. I feel the entire world is beginning to take notice of Floor and her beautiful voice. Danke!
Hi! I always give new people some background on Nightwish, This helps to navigate the journey. Basically a cheat sheet........... :-) Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female fronted symphonic metal band. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu. Then there is Troy Donockley who is a multi-instrulmentalist and does vocals. Jukka is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai became the drummer and as of now is a permanent member. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. the 2nd one was Anette Olzon (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from the Netherlands.( power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit live ( Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. I discovered them about 5 years ago. I saw them in concert in March in the US. They are unbelievable live. Their music has gotten me through some tough times. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol
About time... Why take you so long....? Yesss That was Nightwish with Our Queen of Metal, Goddess Floor Jansen, it’s time to get on this Nightwish Ride, You never be disappointed.
Bedankt voor deze fantastische reactie in de geest van de Beste Zangers. Jullie zijn met Ghost Love Score uit jullie comfortzone gestapt. Dat was zeker de bedoeling van Floor om Nederland kennis te laten maken met metal en dat daar goede muziek gemaakt wordt. Dit live optreden was in Duitsland voor ca. 82.000 bezoekers van het Wacken metal festival.
Welcome! We've been waiting for you. There's a wonderful world of symphonic, folk, melodic and many other flavors of metal today. Takes an adventurous spirit, but one returns richer from the journey.
Thanks Pauline and thanks Jeff. Very well done!!! I really love your reaction. Altough I do no understand dutch (I`m German, so I can guess what you are talking about. ;-) ), I think you are now aware of the versatility of Floor. And maybe you want to dig even a little bit deeper into Metal, now that you realized that Metal in not all about screaming.
It's Jollylumpkin thanks for you’re nice reaction! We were defenitly surprised ! The english subtitels is done know so if you want you can see what we are saying.☺️
Now you dutch people get to know Floor Jansen, you should start asking the government to analyze the running water there. I think there is something in it. Something that make women grow high, beautiful and talented.
Something needs to be said about the band at a whole. Incredible musicians. The backing track is done by the london symphony orchestra. They have zero room for mistakes, and they need to do that day after day after day.
So guys.... she is the biggest star you Dutch have. Anything from Wacken, Tampere or Wembley is awesome because Nightwish is a huge metal name. The keyboard player Tuomas is the composer and he is one of the greatest music composers of our time, on par only with the likes of Hans Zimmer. In other news, you Dutch have some of the finest metal singers in the world ( there are a few almost on par with Floor): so check out Simone Simmons, Anekke or Sharon den Adel. For the record I am Portuguese and we were all wondering who the other people sitting with Floor were.
We have seen those names before, but have never heard of them. But we are certainly going on a journey of discovery. The other people on the couch are also singers and the idea is that each episode is in the duties of another singer. Then they start singing songs for the former often their own songs or a Favorite song by that artist. Very nice and personal program.
@@JBYNetwork Denise Hofs which is a youtuber subtitled all the Beste Zangers episodes for us millions of international fans. I watched all episodes from the show and its a great format indeed. You should react to Epica - Sancta Terra ft Floor Jansen at Retrospect live show. Some serious music right there and you can get a sense of Simone Simons. There are really no less good Nightwish songs so feel free to roam aroind the biggest concerts (wacken, Tampere, Wembley). Thanks
Floor was the first singer to perform on Beste Zangers 2019 and she chose to sing the opera, "Vilja Lied" as a tribute to her opera idol, Henk Poort. Her performance of "Vilja Lied" ranks up there with "The Phantom" duet that she did later in the show with Henk. The other singers were shocked to hear her opera style since when the show started they only knew she performed in a symphonic metal band and expected her to come out screaming.
Nice reaction - and nice to see, that Floor gets the attention she deserves, now even in her homecountry. In fact, Nightwish has ever made very good and for metal also complex Music. The mix between metal and the symphonic parts are amazing and Tuomas (who is a gifted Composer and the "head" of Nightwish) must be very glad to have Floor as a singer in his band. Her versatility and range of her voice opens so much more possibilities to create fantastic Music. When Floor sings, you don't just hear Music, she makes the Songs tangible. Floor is able to get the best out of Nightwish - even the older Songs (like Ghost Love Score) are different from the originals - but she didn't copy them, she make them her own. Floor is the perfect fit for Nightwish and in my opinion one of the best singers in the world. She can unbelievable quickly Change her style of singing and has a really huge stage presence. Always amazed by her - and many Songs, even if I heard them very often, brings me to Tears. I'm so thankful for the Feelings. Thank you, Tuomas, thank you Floor, thanks to the whole Band. And thanks for this nice reaction… would be glad, if you explore more of Floor and Nightwish. You won't be disappointed. Greetings from your german neighbor ✌👌
Great Reaction! FYI, concerning 'Ghost Love Score' there was 82,000+ in the audience at that year's annual W'V'acken open air Metal Festival, in Germany. Ghost Love Score was the 13th of 15 songs that Nightwish performed that night. Like most, I'm sure you will around to reacting some of the other 14. They were that year's (2013) headliners among 50+ bands that performed at the 4-day Event. I would recommend 'Ever Dream' or 'Song of Myself' from the same concert, for your next reaction.
You simply can't go wrong with any of that events setlist... anything is high quality. Inclusive the professional recording, cut, mixing.... everything came together for a perfect concert. After this one, Floor (together with Troy) has been named permanent member of the band (after being "temporary" for about 1y).
I agree completely, easy next step and so beautiful. It's either that or Ever Dream. Or why not do both, Storytime comes directly after Ever dream in Wacken 2013.
It would appear the Nightwish army arrived... Thanks for the Floor/ Nightwish love.. I can't wait til next spring for the album and Live shows in the USA... Not all metal is the same-
The music is called symphonic metal and i very populair in Europe and South America. The band is from Finland and founded 1996. So far the band has had 3 vocalists 1 Tarja Turunen (Finish) pure opera voice also very good live. (until 2005) 2 Anette Olzon (Schwedish) more pop style. fine in the studio but not good live. (until 2012) 3 Floor Jansen* (Dutch) (current) . * She is the vocalist you saw in this clip. She has a classical vocal background education and can sing any style she likes from jazz to opera high to growling low. Believe me when i tell you you have not even scratched the surface yet of what she's capable of. Band members Tuomas Holopainen (The keyboard player and creative mind behind the band. He writes about 95% of the music and lyrics) Marco Hietela (the viking with the long beard (Bass and vocals) Jukka "Julius" Nevalainen (The drummer) Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen (the hobbit like guitar player) Troy Donockley ( a person who did not play on this song but is a multi instrumentalist from the UK) The clip was shot a few months after Floor jointed the band right in the middle of their US leg of the world tour. They asked her to join after tensions between the previous (Anette) vocalist and the rest of the band had rissen so high that they fired her. With close to a year still to go to complete the tour, and their next concert planned 2 day later they, needed a replacement fast. They called Floor because she had toured with them when she was part of the support bands"After Forever" and later "Revamp" on several occasions and they were quiet impressed by her vocals (who would not be?). She only had 2 days, including a flight from the Netherlands to the US, to learn the setlist and only had one rehearsal with the band a couple of hours before her first show and nailed it. Since they were making a documentary about the worldtour a lot of what happened was recorded. The documentary is called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" (th-cam.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/w-d-xo.html ) As a next song to take a look at i would recommend their masterpiece "The poet and the pendulum" live at Wembley. Before you take a look at it i would recommend to take a look at the backstory of this song. This will make you appreciate it much more. here is the link th-cam.com/video/gbn9GczYBkw/w-d-xo.html BTW that last note she just sang? Nightwish fan created a whole new word for when she does something impressive like that. We call it a Floorgasm. Welcome to the club and boy are you going to receive a lot of traffic on your channel. ;-)
@@michaeldougherty2807 Don't forget Beauty of the Beast in Century Child. And Fantasmic in Wishmaster which has 3 parts too. Not longer, but pretty much as long as GLS.
The Beste Zangers was an incredible tool to share with the world not just the beauty of Floors voice but also the notion that heavy metal may not be be as most might perceive . This "hail satan" notion does not apply here. The world has seen just a taste of this remarkable vocalist and of Nightwish. The word 'epic' applies to Floors voice and to describe the music of Nightwish. Any ways.......This show helped metal as a whole and ive spoken with many of the European metal bands and all are as kind and gracious as Floor. I too am from near Seattle... the home of Floors first concert with nightwish.
Very nice video. I hope you two will continue to react to Nightwish, because their bass player Marco also sings in the band and has a great voice as well! Their keyboardist Tuomas writes and composes their masterpieces! I highly recommend "The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley"! It's an amazing journey of a song, and emotional (it has a sad backstory).
Thank you for your response and nice that you enjoyed our video. We will definitely go to Floor / Nightwish again and then we will see if we can watch your video thanks for your response
Ik kom uit Brazilië, aan de andere kant van de wereld, en ik zeg, je hebt de beste zanger ter wereld, en door ironie van het lot, lijkt het erop dat pas ontdekt na Beste Zangers ..... Floor is onze godin, de godin van de stem the Goddess of Metal ...... en is sensationeel in elke muzikale stijl
Wat leuk iemand hellemaal uit Brazilië en die onze video gevonden heeft. Floor is zeker 1 van de beste zangers van Nederland en ook wel van de wereld denken wij. Bedankt voor je leuke reactie en Groeten uit Amsterdam
Wow! Thank you! It's very fun to see dutch people reacting to Floor and discovering her awesomeness! Also, thank you for subtitles, so I could understand it. I really enjoyed your reaction. Now that you have awoken the Nightwish Army, we will swamp you with requests and suggestions, so here are my suggestions: Storytime from Wacken 2013 - A bit more metal, but still easy to listen to. Romanticide from Wacken 2013 - Even harder metal. Sleeping Sun from Tampere 2015 - Very sweet ballad. Dark Chest of Wonders from Wacken 2013 - Uptempo metal, they opened the show with this, so the sound quality the first minute is so-so, but it gets better when the sound guy adjusts the mix. Yours is an empty hope from the Nightwish Cruise 2015 - More metal, with Floor doing an amazing growling in the chorus. First time I thought it was Marco growling then I realized it was Floor and I was, well, floored.... Finally, the two masterpieces: Poet and the Pendelum from Wembley 2016 - You have to read the backstory in order to understand the lyrics, but in short: Toumas (keyboards, the composer) was devastated when he had to fire the first singer, his old schoolmate and said in an interview "I killed myself in the song, so I didn't have to do it in reality". Very dark and deep lyrics, but an amazing performance. Greatest Show on Earth from Tampere 2015 - It's a symphony that describes how the Earth comes into existance, how lifeforms evolves and how humans appear on the planet. It's an extraordinary piece of music about evolution that has everything. It's 21 minutes or so, you have to watch all the way until it ends, there's a final message from Richard Dawkins at the end of the end titles.
nice to hear you liked our video so much. We are incredibly impressed by her and are constantly being surprised. You give our unwise a lot of suggestions and information, we are so unhappy with it. We will certainly see if we can get a nice one out of it. very thankful for nice response and suggestions.
Awesome reaction Jeff and Pauline !! Floor is our Queen Valkyrie Goddess and it was about time for her to get the recognition she deserves in her own country !!! ❤ They say Floor sings like an Angel..! I say, (without being blasphemous), Angels sing like Floor !! Also thank you for reacting to Nightwish, they are fantastic musicians with the best compositions and their live performances are on another level !!! If you want and feel ready to react to more Nightwish, just buckle up and enjoy the magical and full of emotions Roller Coaster Ride whith all of us !! You won't regret it !!!😃 Greetings from Greece !! ❤🤟🤘
Hello, Jeff & Pauline. You kept your word and checked further Floor Jansen's performances, both from Beste Zangers show (I'll recommend you still to check her Shallow cover, too - it's insanely good) and the Nightwish's epic Ghost Love Score. From what I understood (mostly from your facial expressions, not so much from the crappy auto translation) you appreciate her vocals and understood why she is so important to us. Hope you'll continue on this path, you have my "like" and subscription. Thank you.
Great reaction! Welcome to a new world of music :) Henk had one demand for Floor when she asked him to perform The Phantom of the Opera with her. He wants to perform the song with Floor again, WITH Nightwish next time they'd perform in the Netherlands. So ofc she agreed! At the time of recording Nov 24th 2020 was the only announced concert in NL. Now they've added a second concert the day before. Hope Henk performs at both shows! Can't wait to see this live (and maybe even twice)! Het lijkt mij leuk als jullie reageren op de aflevering die in het teken van Floor staat. Zij zingt niet zelf, maar het is absoluut de moeite waard en het zou een geweldige reactie geven!
Glad you like our response video. We also received that story about Henk and Floor, I certainly hope it happened that would really be a fan. Thank you for your response
You both are about to be inandated with requsts for Nightwish - you have been warned! Great reaction though so glad you took time to see Floor over a few genre of music.
Heerlijk om een keer Nederlanders te zien reageren op video's van Floor😃 Met het 1e lied, wat al mooi was, waren jullie al erg impressies. En ik zit hier zo van 'Jullie hebben nog niks gezien! 😉' Jup, Floor kan nog veel meer dan 'Mama' 😉 En daarna lied 2. Trotse Floor toen Henk wat dissonantie/grit erin gooide met zijn stem😊 en lied 3.. 😁 Wacken open air 2013. Daar waren 82.000 mensen die allemaal voor Nightwish kwamen! Symphonic metal heeft Zoveel sub-categorieën. Nightwish heeft opera, metal, heavy metal, pop, ballads, celtic, folk, growling.. Vanalles 😊 Het is echt niet gewoon schreeywen en aggressie😉 Echt niet allee de heavy stuff zoals vaak gedacht wordt. En de teksten.. Tuomas is briljant! (Man op de keyboard). Nee, dat tussenstuk hoort bij het lied zelf. Ze bouwen wat op en instrumentele delen gebruikt Nightwish ook best veel 😉 Het laatste deel!🤩😍 This, is, Nightwish!🤩😍
You can now go two ways. You can ease yourselves into Nightwish through other hele mooie songs, like Elan or My Walden. Or, at the risk of being shocked and turned off, you can take a peek at the other end of the Nightwish spectrum: Yours Is An Empty Hope, live at the Nightwish Cruise. You'll see what else she can do. Or maybe you are courageous enough to watch her in Warrior Goddess mode. Then please react to the song 7 Days to the Wolves, live at Wembley.
Another great one from Nightwish which I like to recommend to people who are not that much into metal is "Sleeping Sun" (here with Floor: th-cam.com/video/rsotlzr9wNw/w-d-xo.html ).
Thanks for doing this! With the subtitles I can really appreciate it. Please do more Nightwish, try My Walden and/or Alpenglow from the Wembley live show. After this reaction I can promise you are going to like those and they are also much shorter than Ghost Love Score too :-). GLS is a very long song even by Nightwish standards, they mostly stay in the 4-5 minute range. There is much more beauty and poetry to discover for you if you are willing to take the journey. The distorted guitar riffs and heavy drums contributing the metal sound take a bit getting used to and Nightwish certainly has done much heavier songs than GLS, but they also have a wealth of beautiful song like this and even straight out ballads (try "While your lips are still red" from Wembley to see Marko, their bass player and sesond singer). We will steer you on your way based on your reactions and from what I have seen from many others already you will probably more and more enjoy the power and energy these songs put out to you. Metal songs can be very aggressive but that is not the Nightwish way (with the occasional exception when Tuomas was really angry at something, but that's well in the past).
We also enjoyed doing it very much and we will certainly go on a discovery trip and both find it very fun Thank you for all the information and your nice response
Wow....niet te snel 😁 rustig aan opbouwen naar the Greatest Show on Earth. Goede start nu gehad 👍 via diverse omwegen nu naar de Climax toewerken 👌 Ghost River, Storytime, Romanticide ergens tussendoor The Poet and the Pendulum om dan via 7 Days to the Wolves, While your lips are still Red en Last ride of the day naar The Greatest show on earth te werken, is veel beter voor de gemoedstoestand 😁 Have Fun iig...
Great reaction. I’m so glad you found the Goddess, Floor Jansen. She is the most versatile singer on planet Earth. She offers many gifts as you already have seen. If you’d like to hear something “lighter” you can try Shallow from the Beste Zanger 2019 series. The same series the other 2 you heard were from. If you’d like something heavier, try Ghost River or Song of Myself, both live at Wacken 2013, from the same show as the version of Ghost Love Score you watched. Enjoy your journey of discovering all of the emotions Floor will elicit from you. Namaste 🕉🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much for the subtitles, your reactions are entertaining and the translations put them over the top. Hope you enjoyed your excursion into Nightwish, may I suggest a song by them called 'Sleeping Sun' recorded in Tampere, I wager you both will appreciate it.
Geweldige reactie, erg blij dat jullie deze reactie gedaan hebben, als je wat nieuwer materiaal wil zien van Floor en Nightwish waar ik van denk dat dit echt op de radio gedraaid moet worden, reageer dan aub op Nightwish My Walden live at Wembley th-cam.com/video/knqeI807ZlY/w-d-xo.html en Elan live at wembley th-cam.com/video/XcwrwRKPaEg/w-d-xo.html en Song of Myself live at Wacken th-cam.com/video/lQu5QjidHWg/w-d-xo.html echt doen hoor, zo geweldig en dan zie je ook hoe veelzijdig de band is en niet alleen maar "harde"Metal speelt. 1 tip als ik die mag geven, probeer ondertiteling te verwerken in jullie video's dat het meer toegangkelijk word voor onze buitenlandse fans die anders totaal niet verstaan waar jullie het over hebben :) Of reageren in het Engels
Speaking of Dutch singers and bands presumably unknown due to being in the (symphonic) metal genre: Have a look at Within Temptation with their lead singer Sharon den Adel, Epica with Simone Simons or Anneke von Giersbergen. Powerful, re-recognizable voices.
Hallo Nederland, in 2020 is Nightwish in Duitsland op Tour direkt aan de grenz, ik zou het leuk finden dat Floor een beetje ondersteund word van Nederland, het is de juiste moment. Nightwish was altijd goed, Floor is een perfekte Stemm voor de Band. Groetjes uit Duitsland,
in Cuxhaven in Noord Duitsland in July 2020 een steenworp van de Ned. grens, maar wel van te voren de steen weg gooien waar jullie jarenlang onder gelegen hebben ......
Top love Nightwish and Floor,ik heb ze ong een half jaar geleden ontdekt en ben een fan van deze steengoede band,de composities zijn superb en ik vind alle bandleden goed,en ik ken ze niet persoonlijk,maar ze komen erg echt,normaal en aardig over💕
You should be proud of the amazing Dutch metal singers, this new "era" of women in metal started back in 95 when a Dutch band recruited an amazing and lovely lady called Anneke Van Giersbergen to join the band, she was one of the first and the most influential singer to bring more women to metal (Floor was one of them she started after seeing Anneke singing), Anneke is still one of the most busy singers she have her solo projects and band and she colaborates with many other bands. She even sanged for the Dutch king at the veterans day this is one of the older The Gathering videos back from 97 th-cam.com/video/dJFygYToDl8/w-d-xo.html And this one is from The Gathering 25 anniversary show she rejoined the band for this celebration th-cam.com/video/gX9nHYj95gw/w-d-xo.html
And if you want a song of similar quality, yet even more complex, poetic (and also even longer) you may wish to try Poet and the pendullum... well it is usually recomended to her few "normal" NW songs before going into that (it works even better if you understand more from the history of the band, among other things how they parted with their original (1st) lead singer (Tarja Turunen) and how upset many fans been with that) but if there is any risc you would miss this song at all, then it definitelly better doing it without background info than not doing it at all... Some parts of that, Floors voice comes like the voice from heaven, even MORE than in GLS... I find a deep meaning in there, wonderfull...
Besides Floor, do you also know your other national treasures ? You should maybe listen to "Tides of Time" from Epica and "Frozen" from Within Temptation to start with. Greetings from a german Nightwish / Within Temptation fan since 1998/2000.
Leuke reactie. Ben Nightwish gaan uitchecken nadat ik Floor bij beste zangers had gezien en kan nu niet meer zonder! Moet elke dag naar ze luisteren en ga volgend jaar naar hun concert in de Ziggodome. Helaas dus nog wel een jaartje wachten😢. Zal het in de tussentijd dus met alles wat op TH-cam te vinden is moeten doen👍😁
Leuk om te horen dat je onze video leuk vond. We horen het meer hier dat ze gaan naar de ziggodome helaas hadden wij geen kaarten kunnen krijgen maar alvast veel plezier.
Hello! I like the "our dutch pride" and little time before you never heard of her, like maybe 75% of the netherlands and 90% of the world - a little more know since she is with Nightwish, or some guys like me who discovered her in projects like "Star One/Ayreon" (of whom I am a big fan). Since I was young I was listening to metal - well since the NWOBHM exists, still "After Forever" or "ReVamp" I knew, I had in my collection but rarely listened to, and in Ayreon Floor was so discrete that Anneke van Giersbergen or Sharon Del Adel were more in my fave list. Then came "Beste Zangers" that I discovered by accident, following "reaction videos". Honestly, I didn't really know anybody of this show, i am not Dutch, and Floor I knew for her bands without too many memories.... and you know, the artist is often unknown in his own country and needs to conquer passing by other countries (or now TH-cam/TV Shows)... I like your videos and (as I don't speak dutch) am happy about your subtitles. In your first Floor video you stated that you like, but are afraid to learn french, as it is so difficult. Well I am native swiss german, speak french and english (which were rather easy if you have the opportunity to USE it) and had a dutch girlfriend .... but for me/us here .... dutch is as much horror to learn like finnish or russian :D It's just a point of view :p Keep up the good vids (and subtitles), you have a new subscriber! Oh and come on, they don't just sing Phantom oof the OOpera, they live it - you can turn off the sound and - with the expressions in their fadces - can still hear it ;)
Thank you for your great reaction Alexis Ernie. That is absolutely true about the Floor abroad is really a great artist and in the Netherlands the large part has never heard of her. And about French I just don't have languages and many more languages hahaha. Nice to hear that you are so pleased that we have added English subtitles. Thank you so much for your information and your nice response.
Leuke video hoor. Even een paar opmerkingen/info wel. Het nummer van Nightwish heet Ghost Love Score. Er wordt in veel metal idd geschreeuwd (growling en grunting heet dat) maar je hebt diverse soorten metal waaronder symphonic metal, waar Nightwish onder valt maar ook die ontzettend goede bands uit Nederland als Delain, Within Temptation, Epica enz.., maar die kenmerkt zich vaak door de iets toegankelijkere toon van de muziek. Gitaren/drums zijn vaak nog steeds goed aanwezig maar je hoort vaak mooie melodielijnen en vaak wordt ook gebruik gemaakt van een koor en strijkinstrumenten e.d. En dat kan in principe zo op de radio. Best wel wat nummers van Nightwish ook. En de bassist van Nightwish (Marco Hietala) trekt zijn mond soms ook open aangezien hij de mannelijke vocalist is in de band. Dit gebeurd bijv. bij I Wish I had an Angel. Ook een aanrader is Nemo. Veel van deze nummers zijn overigens uit de tijd van een andere zangeres. Deze 2 zijn uit het tijdperk van Tarja en er zijn ook nummers uit de tijd van Annette. Elan is wel een nieuw nummer wat ze met Floor hebben opgenomen (2015) maar bij Floor vind ik ook dat ze die oude nummers de hare kan maken. Tarja is ook een ontzettend goede zangeres maar die deed eigenlijk alles in operastijl. Floor is veel gevarieerder, hoewel ze het echte opera wel kan, maar all out opera style gaat ze eigenlijk niet met Nightwish.
I'm learning Dutch but I still don't understand 99% of what you said 😁 but anyway, each time there's a Floor Jansen video the same word always appear on the comments: "kippenvel". Yep, absolute kippenvel all over the body each time she sings 😍
Dank voor jullie reactie. Floor wordt nu aan Nightwish gekoppeld, maar zij heeft en doet zoveel meer. We hebben in Nederland nog meer fantastische Symphonic metal bands met wereldwijde grote reputatie. Deze bands doen bijzondere projecten en ik zou jullie willen aanbevelen om eens rond te kijken bij Within Temptation, Epica, Revamp, After forever, Vuur en vooral ook een bijzondere zangeres Anneke van Giersbergen. Al deze bands hebben uitzonderlijke zangeressen. ENJOY
I would check out 'Poet and the Pendulum' next. For People who are usually not that much into Metal those kind of songs are better at first (after that 'Greatest Show on Earth', 'Sleeping Sun' etc. were good choices)
I would not, its way to early for that song, eventhough its one of the best. They should learn some more songs and specially about the bagground story with Tuomas etc. I would suggest Song of Myself.
Leuke show, leuk duo :). Nu ken ik Floor al heel wat jaren, ze is ongelooflijk goed. Zeer divers in haar stem. Van Growling, Rockvoice, Classical, Poppie. Wanneer je meer gaat verdiepen in Symphonische Rock/Metal, dan zie je heel vaak langere songs. Ook met een mooi verhaal en zeer diverse muziek/fraseringen
For all our English-speaking viewers there is English subtitle on this video.
Enjoy watching

Thanks :)

More Nightwish!!!
tuvm :)
Symphonic metal is a wonderful new world for those who are not usually interested in metal. And it is inhabited by many Dutch singers and bands - There is Floor (Nightwish), Simone Simons (Epica), Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation), Charlotte Wessels (Delain) and Dianna von Giersbergen (ex-Xandria).
All three songs were LIVE and that last one with Nightwish was before 80,000+ fans at the great Open Air Festival in Wacken, Germany. That was 3 really good examples of Floor's vocal ability but still not a complete intro, the woman is just sensational. I will admit that even her die-heart fans were stunned by her performances on Beste Zangers. As always she demonstrated her class, grace and empathy as the most talented non-diva there is with her several thank you videos to her fans (old and new). That is Floor no matter what she always appreciates her fans and lets them know it, that is why she is so loved and respected by those that experience her (one never merely listen to Floor). Great reaction and I am glad you gave Nightwish a chance to impress, I am not a growling or scream fan but Nightwish is my favorite band and if you listen to more of the great Wacken concert you can see why Floor is the perfect fit as they are very diverse in their songs from ballads, metal, folk metal (flutes and bagpipes), slow jazz and Pop. Floor handles all of that and then some as her Beste Zangers songs show there is NOTHING that this woman can't sing and probably in any language either if she decides to. Well done and thank you on behalf of Floor's die-heart fans for giving our Goddess of Metal some love!! I will say that you Dutch produce some fantastic female vocalists (Floor/Nightwish;Simone/Epica; Sharon/Within Temptation; Charlotte/Delain; Anneke/Vuur &Gathering; Dianne/Ex Libris) not to mention all the other great Dutch vocalists leading other bands and in other genres, yours is one amazing country!!!!
Thanks for all the info always a fan to hear from the real fans of band and artist.
Thank you so much for checking out these amazing songs. You Dutch can be so proud of Floor just as we Finns are proud of Nightwish. Now you can understand better why we love this amazing lady so much and that she is part of this brilliant band. I hope you get to know more about Nightwish and Tuomas's great compositions in the future... Thanks again 🙂🇫🇮🇳🇱
Well we are proud of Floor.
We will soon be watching video again with Floor have had many requests.
Thank you for your nice response
Cool songs choice for reactions. Floor Jansen is a versatile singer, her song's interpretation that she sung was incredible. Thanks for added Nightwish song in this video guys 👍
Nice to hear it likes it so much.
The Phantom was incredible. That last note blew the roof off of the studio! Also thank you very much for listening to Ghost Love Score. As you can see it takes a very special singer to bring the Nightwish songs to life. Floor is that rare and magical singer.
That song was really well sung and indeed that last note was great.
Whoa..... 3 Floor's performances (one with Nightwish) reaction in one video, I couldn't expect more of this. Nice reaction by the way 👌
Nice to hear you like it so much.
Awesome reaction Pauline & Jeff, thank you so much! I'm so so so glad that Floor is finally discovered and respected in her home country too. She really deserves all that hype. There's no other vocalist in this universe than Floor. As a Finn and as a long-term hardcore Nightwish fan I'm also so happy that Nightwish got her and she got NW. It's a match made in heaven. She wasn't feeling well at the time she jumped in NW, but she made it. And she raised NW to whole new level!
Every Nightwish fan followed her journey in Beste Zangers and fell in love of those songs she sang there. TH-cam blew up right away when the show started and Floor's performances got easily 1 to 2 million views like only in few hours... When I heard "Mama" on that night I didn't understand but a word "mama" 'cause it was Dutch, but her delivery made me cry like a baby. And I'm really not the only one. People all around the world were eyes wet as well while listen to her. You really should be proud of her, like I said there's no one like Floor in this whole universe and she happens to be Dutch.
It's great that you like our video so much. We really woke up in the Netherlands with Floor. And whatever you say she deserves the attention hell is a fantastic singer. And Jeff and Pauline have really become a fan of hers.
Again great reaction.
Perfect songs choice, one in Dutch, one the duet, and one with the band.. Awesome and nice reaction btw 👌
You're welcome. Nice to hear that our video liked.
thanks for your nice response
Greetings from The USA (near Seattle)! I enjoyed your reactions very much. I've only recently discovered Floor (because of Nightwish) and was DELIGHTED to watch all 8 episodes of Beste Zangers, such talent and versatility from all of the singers. I feel the entire world is beginning to take notice of Floor and her beautiful voice. Danke!
Hi! I always give new people some background on Nightwish, This helps to navigate the journey. Basically a cheat sheet........... :-)
Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female fronted symphonic metal band. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu. Then there is Troy Donockley who is a multi-instrulmentalist and does vocals. Jukka is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai became the drummer and as of now is a permanent member.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. the 2nd one was Anette Olzon (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from the Netherlands.( power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile)
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit live ( Floor).
I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. I discovered them about 5 years ago. I saw them in concert in March in the US. They are unbelievable live. Their music has gotten me through some tough times. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol
😊🤘❤️🤘 I found Ann!! 😁

She is certainly thank you for your response
About time... Why take you so long....? Yesss That was Nightwish with Our Queen of Metal, Goddess Floor Jansen, it’s time to get on this Nightwish Ride, You never be disappointed.
sorry there are some things against it hence the extra long episode of JBY-React with Floor
Bedankt voor deze fantastische reactie in de geest van de Beste Zangers. Jullie zijn met Ghost Love Score uit jullie comfortzone gestapt. Dat was zeker de bedoeling van Floor om Nederland kennis te laten maken met metal en dat daar goede muziek gemaakt wordt. Dit live optreden was in Duitsland voor ca. 82.000 bezoekers van het Wacken metal festival.
Peter Flying Dutchman bedankt voor je super leuke reactie !
Welcome! We've been waiting for you.
There's a wonderful world of symphonic, folk, melodic and many other flavors of metal today.
Takes an adventurous spirit, but one returns richer from the journey.
You're welcome. Nice to hear that our video liked
Thanks Pauline and thanks Jeff. Very well done!!! I really love your reaction.
Altough I do no understand dutch (I`m German, so I can guess what you are talking about. ;-) ), I think you are now aware of the versatility of Floor. And maybe you want to dig even a little bit deeper into Metal, now that you realized that Metal in not all about screaming.
It's Jollylumpkin thanks for you’re nice reaction!
We were defenitly surprised !
The english subtitels is done know so if you want you can see what we are saying.☺️
I'm currently limiting myself to 4 Ghost Love Score reaction videos a day........
Yup ... I am right there with you :D
I am fully prepaired for reactions on Devil and the Dark Deep Ocean. LIVE from Buenos Aires!!!
@@pietheindejonge321 Yes, they're already comming.
@@pietheindejonge321 Just watched the video. Damn now I've got to set my clock to 26 hours a day and only sleep on alternate Tuesdays.
Glad we belong to these 4
I know I'm very late to this reaction, but you should be very proud of Floor! She is a once in a lifetime talent. Love from the US 🇺🇸 ❤
Also she very sweet and humble.
Thank you
Ik ben wel blij dat jullie serieus aandacht geven aan Floor Jansen en Nightwish. Helemaal top dat jullie het aandurven! Compliment!
Bert blij dat je het zo leuk vond.
altijd leuk om te horen.
Bedankt voor je leuke reactie.
Awesome guys, two Floor's performances from Beste Zangers and one from Nightwish live from Wacken, big thanks for it 👍
you're welcome
Now you dutch people get to know Floor Jansen, you should start asking the government to analyze the running water there. I think there is something in it. Something that make women grow high, beautiful and talented.
You're welcome. Nice to hear that our video liked
We have, were keeping it a secret. It's so awesome to have all this talent in one tiny country.❤
From the USA...thank you Netherlands for Floor. Floorgasm!
Nice to hear that our video liked
Representing the Nightwish Army from Texas. Fun fact: my ancestors are Dutch. Cool family crest and everything with windmill and tulips.
Thanks for the nice response.
nice to hear that our video liked.
I just came here with the prospect for multiple Floorgasms. Was not disappointed.
The Nightwish Army is assembling.
Thanks for the nice response.

He'll from Finland, sorry just found you guys by chance. Good thing Subtitles worked so I understood what you said. Loved your reaction alot. Thx
Floor Jansen is national treasure of Netherlands
that is so true
Ghost love score opened the doors to Nightwish land for me ♥️
For our to know for sure
Thank you. That was actually a well done and really nice video.
Nice to hear that you liked our video.
Thank you for your nice response.
Something needs to be said about the band at a whole. Incredible musicians. The backing track is done by the london symphony orchestra. They have zero room for mistakes, and they need to do that day after day after day.
really good music band completely true
Excellent selection of songs. The 2nd most popular Floor song from Beste Zangers - "Winner" -tribute to Tim
LOL, always nice to see ppl get their first Floorgasm(s). Welcome to discover more Nightwish in future!
Lovely reaction guys, I'm glad that you've had a reaction to Floor with Nightwish too. Thank you.
Handi Benkz thanks for you’re reaction ☺️
I'm a simple man with simple tastes.
I see Floor Jansen. I click.
So guys.... she is the biggest star you Dutch have. Anything from Wacken, Tampere or Wembley is awesome because Nightwish is a huge metal name. The keyboard player Tuomas is the composer and he is one of the greatest music composers of our time, on par only with the likes of Hans Zimmer. In other news, you Dutch have some of the finest metal singers in the world ( there are a few almost on par with Floor): so check out Simone Simmons, Anekke or Sharon den Adel. For the record I am Portuguese and we were all wondering who the other people sitting with Floor were.
We have seen those names before, but have never heard of them. But we are certainly going on a journey of discovery. The other people on the couch are also singers and the idea is that each episode is in the duties of another singer. Then they start singing songs for the former often their own songs or a Favorite song by that artist. Very nice and personal program.
@@JBYNetwork Denise Hofs which is a youtuber subtitled all the Beste Zangers episodes for us millions of international fans. I watched all episodes from the show and its a great format indeed. You should react to Epica - Sancta Terra ft Floor Jansen at Retrospect live show. Some serious music right there and you can get a sense of Simone Simons. There are really no less good Nightwish songs so feel free to roam aroind the biggest concerts (wacken, Tampere, Wembley). Thanks
50% Dutch, 50% Norse Goddess and 50% Elf Warrior. That's 150%, an impossible amount she makes possible.
Greeting from the US where we LOVE NIGHWISH and FLOOR! FLOORGASMS!!
Floor was the first singer to perform on Beste Zangers 2019 and she chose to sing the opera, "Vilja Lied" as a tribute to her opera idol, Henk Poort. Her performance of "Vilja Lied" ranks up there with "The Phantom" duet that she did later in the show with Henk. The other singers were shocked to hear her opera style since when the show started they only knew she performed in a symphonic metal band and expected her to come out screaming.
Thank you for your nice response. Thanks for your information about Floor always handy to know all.
Nice reaction - and nice to see, that Floor gets the attention she deserves, now even in her homecountry. In fact, Nightwish has ever made very good and for metal also complex Music. The mix between metal and the symphonic parts are amazing and Tuomas (who is a gifted Composer and the "head" of Nightwish) must be very glad to have Floor as a singer in his band. Her versatility and range of her voice opens so much more possibilities to create fantastic Music. When Floor sings, you don't just hear Music, she makes the Songs tangible. Floor is able to get the best out of Nightwish - even the older Songs (like Ghost Love Score) are different from the originals - but she didn't copy them, she make them her own. Floor is the perfect fit for Nightwish and in my opinion one of the best singers in the world. She can unbelievable quickly Change her style of singing and has a really huge stage presence. Always amazed by her - and many Songs, even if I heard them very often, brings me to Tears. I'm so thankful for the Feelings. Thank you, Tuomas, thank you Floor, thanks to the whole Band. And thanks for this nice reaction… would be glad, if you explore more of Floor and Nightwish. You won't be disappointed. Greetings from your german neighbor ✌👌
Thanks for the nice response.
nice to hear that our video liked
Great Reaction! FYI, concerning 'Ghost Love Score' there was 82,000+ in the audience at that year's annual W'V'acken open air Metal Festival, in Germany. Ghost Love Score was the 13th of 15 songs that Nightwish performed that night. Like most, I'm sure you will around to reacting some of the other 14. They were that year's (2013) headliners among 50+ bands that performed at the 4-day Event. I would recommend 'Ever Dream' or 'Song of Myself' from the same concert, for your next reaction.
You simply can't go wrong with any of that events setlist... anything is high quality. Inclusive the professional recording, cut, mixing.... everything came together for a perfect concert. After this one, Floor (together with Troy) has been named permanent member of the band (after being "temporary" for about 1y).
Nice that you liked our video. And thanks for your info about the festival always nice to know
Please more Floor and Nightwish :)
We are definitely going to do it
More Floor songs ever dream and story time from waken 2013 please
we will look at it thanks for the tip
NIGHTWISH ARMY TAKES NOTICE ...HERE WE COME ..BE PREPARED ...CHECK OUT THEIR SONG ..STORYTIME LIVE @ WACKEN 2013 ..you wont be disappointed
thanks for the response and tip
I agree completely, easy next step and so beautiful. It's either that or Ever Dream. Or why not do both, Storytime comes directly after Ever dream in Wacken 2013.
It would appear the Nightwish army arrived... Thanks for the Floor/ Nightwish love.. I can't wait til next spring for the album and Live shows in the USA... Not all metal is the same-
Thanks for the nice response.
nice to hear that our video liked
Nice reaction. I'm glad that many peoples start to noticed how great Floor Jansen is. One of the greatest female singer and performer imo.
Thank you. We are really awake here in the Netherlands with floor
Thanks for your comment
Excellent reaction, can't get enough of FLOOR....GREETINGS FROM AMERICA
Jimmy Bumgardner we also can’t get enough of Floor thanks for you’re nice reaction!
The music is called symphonic metal and i very populair in Europe and South America. The band is from Finland and founded 1996. So far the band has had 3 vocalists
1 Tarja Turunen (Finish) pure opera voice also very good live. (until 2005)
2 Anette Olzon (Schwedish) more pop style. fine in the studio but not good live. (until 2012)
3 Floor Jansen* (Dutch) (current)
. * She is the vocalist you saw in this clip. She has a classical vocal background education and can sing any style she likes from jazz to opera high to growling low. Believe me when i tell you you have not even scratched the surface yet of what she's capable of.
Band members
Tuomas Holopainen (The keyboard player and creative mind behind the band. He writes about 95% of the music and lyrics)
Marco Hietela (the viking with the long beard (Bass and vocals)
Jukka "Julius" Nevalainen (The drummer)
Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen (the hobbit like guitar player)
Troy Donockley ( a person who did not play on this song but is a multi instrumentalist from the UK)
The clip was shot a few months after Floor jointed the band right in the middle of their US leg of the world tour. They asked her to join after tensions between the previous (Anette) vocalist and the rest of the band had rissen so high that they fired her. With close to a year still to go to complete the tour, and their next concert planned 2 day later they, needed a replacement fast. They called Floor because she had toured with them when she was part of the support bands"After Forever" and later "Revamp" on several occasions and they were quiet impressed by her vocals (who would not be?). She only had 2 days, including a flight from the Netherlands to the US, to learn the setlist and only had one rehearsal with the band a couple of hours before her first show and nailed it. Since they were making a documentary about the worldtour a lot of what happened was recorded. The documentary is called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" (th-cam.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/w-d-xo.html )
As a next song to take a look at i would recommend their masterpiece "The poet and the pendulum" live at Wembley. Before you take a look at it i would recommend to take a look at the backstory of this song. This will make you appreciate it much more. here is the link th-cam.com/video/gbn9GczYBkw/w-d-xo.html
BTW that last note she just sang? Nightwish fan created a whole new word for when she does something impressive like that. We call it a Floorgasm. Welcome to the club and boy are you going to receive a lot of traffic on your channel. ;-)
Thanks so much for all the information, always nice to hear a real fan
I am so in love with her . you are so lucky to have her as a fellow countryman.
Thank you we are also very proud of
They aren't all long like this. They do have 2 others that are even longer though. lol Glad you enjoyed it!🤘👍
3 going by album versions. Song of Myself is 13. Poet and the Pendulum is 14. Greatest Show on Earth is 24.
@@michaeldougherty2807 Don't forget Beauty of the Beast in Century Child. And Fantasmic in Wishmaster which has 3 parts too. Not longer, but pretty much as long as GLS.
Thank you for your nice response
The Beste Zangers was an incredible tool to share with the world not just the beauty of Floors voice but also the notion that heavy metal may not be be as most might perceive . This "hail satan" notion does not apply here. The world has seen just a taste of this remarkable vocalist and of Nightwish. The word 'epic' applies to Floors voice and to describe the music of Nightwish. Any ways.......This show helped metal as a whole and ive spoken with many of the European metal bands and all are as kind and gracious as Floor. I too am from near Seattle... the home of Floors first concert with nightwish.
Greetings from Canada 😎. Thanks for the subtitles lol. Love your reactions.. Love Floor 😍😂 lol
You're welcome. Nice to hear that our video liked
Very nice video. I hope you two will continue to react to Nightwish, because their bass player Marco also sings in the band and has a great voice as well! Their keyboardist Tuomas writes and composes their masterpieces! I highly recommend "The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley"! It's an amazing journey of a song, and emotional (it has a sad backstory).
Thank you for your response and nice that you enjoyed our video.
We will definitely go to Floor / Nightwish again and then we will see if we can watch your video thanks for your response
Ik kom uit Brazilië, aan de andere kant van de wereld, en ik zeg, je hebt de beste zanger ter wereld, en door ironie van het lot, lijkt het erop dat pas ontdekt na Beste Zangers ..... Floor is onze godin, de godin van de stem the Goddess of Metal ...... en is sensationeel in elke muzikale stijl
Wat leuk iemand hellemaal uit Brazilië en die onze video gevonden heeft.
Floor is zeker 1 van de beste zangers van Nederland en ook wel van de wereld denken wij.
Bedankt voor je leuke reactie en Groeten uit Amsterdam
Wow! Thank you! It's very fun to see dutch people reacting to Floor and discovering her awesomeness! Also, thank you for subtitles, so I could understand it. I really enjoyed your reaction. Now that you have awoken the Nightwish Army, we will swamp you with requests and suggestions, so here are my suggestions:
Storytime from Wacken 2013 - A bit more metal, but still easy to listen to.
Romanticide from Wacken 2013 - Even harder metal.
Sleeping Sun from Tampere 2015 - Very sweet ballad.
Dark Chest of Wonders from Wacken 2013 - Uptempo metal, they opened the show with this, so the sound quality the first minute is so-so, but it gets better when the sound guy adjusts the mix.
Yours is an empty hope from the Nightwish Cruise 2015 - More metal, with Floor doing an amazing growling in the chorus. First time I thought it was Marco growling then I realized it was Floor and I was, well, floored....
Finally, the two masterpieces:
Poet and the Pendelum from Wembley 2016 - You have to read the backstory in order to understand the lyrics, but in short: Toumas (keyboards, the composer) was devastated when he had to fire the first singer, his old schoolmate and said in an interview "I killed myself in the song, so I didn't have to do it in reality". Very dark and deep lyrics, but an amazing performance.
Greatest Show on Earth from Tampere 2015 - It's a symphony that describes how the Earth comes into existance, how lifeforms evolves and how humans appear on the planet. It's an extraordinary piece of music about evolution that has everything. It's 21 minutes or so, you have to watch all the way until it ends, there's a final message from Richard Dawkins at the end of the end titles.
nice to hear you liked our video so much. We are incredibly impressed by her and are constantly being surprised. You give our unwise a lot of suggestions and information, we are so unhappy with it. We will certainly see if we can get a nice one out of it.
very thankful for nice response and suggestions.
Awesome reaction Jeff and Pauline !! Floor is our Queen Valkyrie Goddess and it was about time for her to get the recognition she deserves in her own country !!! ❤ They say Floor sings like an Angel..! I say, (without being blasphemous), Angels sing like Floor !! Also thank you for reacting to Nightwish, they are fantastic musicians with the best compositions and their live performances are on another level !!! If you want and feel ready to react to more Nightwish, just buckle up and enjoy the magical and full of emotions Roller Coaster Ride whith all of us !! You won't regret it !!!😃 Greetings from Greece !! ❤🤟🤘
We also think that she deserves that she is a fanastich singers. and about angel I think a good thought hahaha.

Nice to hear that you enjoyed our video. We will certainly make a video about Floor
Thank you for your nice response
Hello, Jeff & Pauline. You kept your word and checked further Floor Jansen's performances, both from Beste Zangers show (I'll recommend you still to check her Shallow cover, too - it's insanely good) and the Nightwish's epic Ghost Love Score. From what I understood (mostly from your facial expressions, not so much from the crappy auto translation) you appreciate her vocals and understood why she is so important to us. Hope you'll continue on this path, you have my "like" and subscription. Thank you.
Yes, we certainly try to do what you want us to look at. thanks for your nice response
Great reaction! Welcome to a new world of music :)
Henk had one demand for Floor when she asked him to perform The Phantom of the Opera with her. He wants to perform the song with Floor again, WITH Nightwish next time they'd perform in the Netherlands.
So ofc she agreed!
At the time of recording Nov 24th 2020 was the only announced concert in NL. Now they've added a second concert the day before. Hope Henk performs at both shows!
Can't wait to see this live (and maybe even twice)!
Het lijkt mij leuk als jullie reageren op de aflevering die in het teken van Floor staat. Zij zingt niet zelf, maar het is absoluut de moeite waard en het zou een geweldige reactie geven!
Glad you like our response video. We also received that story about Henk and Floor, I certainly hope it happened that would really be a fan. Thank you for your response
You both are about to be inandated with requsts for Nightwish - you have been warned! Great reaction though so glad you took time to see Floor over a few genre of music.
Thanks for the nice response.
nice to hear that our video liked
@@JBYNetwork really enjoyed your reaction - specially to a 'Dutch' vocalist that you had never known existed - but we did! LOL
More Floor por favor! :)) which also means more Nightwish.
We will certainly do so in the future as promised
Heerlijk om een keer Nederlanders te zien reageren op video's van Floor😃 Met het 1e lied, wat al mooi was, waren jullie al erg impressies. En ik zit hier zo van 'Jullie hebben nog niks gezien! 😉' Jup, Floor kan nog veel meer dan 'Mama' 😉
En daarna lied 2. Trotse Floor toen Henk wat dissonantie/grit erin gooide met zijn stem😊
en lied 3.. 😁 Wacken open air 2013. Daar waren 82.000 mensen die allemaal voor Nightwish kwamen! Symphonic metal heeft Zoveel sub-categorieën. Nightwish heeft opera, metal, heavy metal, pop, ballads, celtic, folk, growling.. Vanalles 😊 Het is echt niet gewoon schreeywen en aggressie😉 Echt niet allee de heavy stuff zoals vaak gedacht wordt. En de teksten.. Tuomas is briljant! (Man op de keyboard). Nee, dat tussenstuk hoort bij het lied zelf. Ze bouwen wat op en instrumentele delen gebruikt Nightwish ook best veel 😉 Het laatste deel!🤩😍 This, is, Nightwish!🤩😍
Please React one of the beautifullst Nightwishsongs ever "Sleeping Sun" live from Tampere 2015! Floor is brilliant and its a Song you love it!
We will definitely go to Nightwish again. we will certainly take this tip with us.
Thank you very much for the tip and your nice response
You can now go two ways.
You can ease yourselves into Nightwish through other hele mooie songs, like Elan or My Walden.
Or, at the risk of being shocked and turned off, you can take a peek at the other end of the Nightwish spectrum: Yours Is An Empty Hope, live at the Nightwish Cruise. You'll see what else she can do.
Or maybe you are courageous enough to watch her in Warrior Goddess mode. Then please react to the song 7 Days to the Wolves, live at Wembley.
Another great one from Nightwish which I like to recommend to people who are not that much into metal is "Sleeping Sun" (here with Floor: th-cam.com/video/rsotlzr9wNw/w-d-xo.html ).
Good choice for easing in!
Or another one to ease in is Slow Love Slow, basically a jazz/blues number: th-cam.com/video/Ol9VbuKKZ5U/w-d-xo.html
Yeah! People react to that too seldom.
That sounds very much like a challenge that we are happy to accept.
The Greatest show on earth in Tampere Finland😊
I see Floor or and Nightwish so i click
Floor is a classically trained singer she's also a vocal coach she went to a rock academy and studied musical theater and opera
Thanks for doing this! With the subtitles I can really appreciate it.
Please do more Nightwish, try My Walden and/or Alpenglow from the Wembley live show. After this reaction I can promise you are going to like those and they are also much shorter than Ghost Love Score too :-). GLS is a very long song even by Nightwish standards, they mostly stay in the 4-5 minute range.
There is much more beauty and poetry to discover for you if you are willing to take the journey. The distorted guitar riffs and heavy drums contributing the metal sound take a bit getting used to and Nightwish certainly has done much heavier songs than GLS, but they also have a wealth of beautiful song like this and even straight out ballads (try "While your lips are still red" from Wembley to see Marko, their bass player and sesond singer).
We will steer you on your way based on your reactions and from what I have seen from many others already you will probably more and more enjoy the power and energy these songs put out to you. Metal songs can be very aggressive but that is not the Nightwish way (with the occasional exception when Tuomas was really angry at something, but that's well in the past).
We also enjoyed doing it very much and we will certainly go on a discovery trip and both find it very fun
Thank you for all the information and your nice response
Wonderful reaction, thank you for the subtitles for us none dutch speaking people :)
You welkom
Ha, eindelijk Floor Jansen en Nightwish ontdekt. Klasse. Nu nog een review van The Greatest Show on Earth.
Wow....niet te snel 😁 rustig aan opbouwen naar the Greatest Show on Earth. Goede start nu gehad 👍 via diverse omwegen nu naar de Climax toewerken 👌 Ghost River, Storytime, Romanticide ergens tussendoor The Poet and the Pendulum om dan via 7 Days to the Wolves, While your lips are still Red en Last ride of the day naar The Greatest show on earth te werken, is veel beter voor de gemoedstoestand 😁
Have Fun iig...
Die hebben we vaak voorbij zien komen we gaan binnenkort weer keer naar Floor kijken misschien doen we die dan wel
Bedankt voor je tip
Great reaction. I’m so glad you found the Goddess, Floor Jansen.
She is the most versatile singer on planet Earth. She offers many gifts as you already have seen.
If you’d like to hear something “lighter” you can try Shallow from the Beste Zanger 2019 series. The same series the other 2 you heard were from.
If you’d like something heavier, try Ghost River or Song of Myself, both live at Wacken 2013, from the same show as the version of Ghost Love Score you watched.
Enjoy your journey of discovering all of the emotions Floor will elicit from you.
Namaste 🕉🙏🏻❤️
You're welcome. Nice to hear that our video liked
Thank you so much for the subtitles, your reactions are entertaining and the translations put them over the top. Hope you enjoyed your excursion into Nightwish, may I suggest a song by them called 'Sleeping Sun' recorded in Tampere, I wager you both will appreciate it.
You're welcome. Nice to hear that our video liked
Good one! Let's ease them into it slowly. 😉
16:58 the calm before the floorgasms 😏🔥❤
Greetings from Canada. Thanks for the subtitles! Very enjoyable.
You're welcome
Geweldige reactie, erg blij dat jullie deze reactie gedaan hebben, als je wat nieuwer materiaal wil zien van Floor en Nightwish waar ik van denk dat dit echt op de radio gedraaid moet worden, reageer dan aub op Nightwish My Walden live at Wembley th-cam.com/video/knqeI807ZlY/w-d-xo.html en Elan live at wembley th-cam.com/video/XcwrwRKPaEg/w-d-xo.html en Song of Myself live at Wacken th-cam.com/video/lQu5QjidHWg/w-d-xo.html echt doen hoor, zo geweldig en dan zie je ook hoe veelzijdig de band is en niet alleen maar "harde"Metal speelt. 1 tip als ik die mag geven, probeer ondertiteling te verwerken in jullie video's dat het meer toegangkelijk word voor onze buitenlandse fans die anders totaal niet verstaan waar jullie het over hebben :) Of reageren in het Engels
Nimwey dankjewel voor je leuke reactie.
We hadden helaas een probleem met uploaden dus de ondertiteling zit er sinds gister middag pas onder.
"She didn't scream.." Floor: "Uhm, hold my beer..." Check out Nightwish - Yours Is an Empty Hope (Live at Tampere) >:)
thanks for your nice response
When Floor is "Headbanging" its call Windmill'ing homage for Dutch/Holland /Nederland.
Dank u wel Nederland for the amazing Floor Jansen!!!
Speaking of Dutch singers and bands presumably unknown due to being in the (symphonic) metal genre: Have a look at Within Temptation with their lead singer Sharon den Adel, Epica with Simone Simons or Anneke von Giersbergen. Powerful, re-recognizable voices.
Thank you for ideas about a new video we are definitely going to watch it afterwards
Thank you for your nice response and the information.
Watching Floor sing in her native tongue makes me want to learn Dutch!
Floor is singing with a Brabantian accent which makes it for me more special.
Thanks for the nice response
Hallo Nederland, in 2020 is Nightwish in Duitsland op Tour direkt aan de grenz, ik zou het leuk finden dat Floor een beetje ondersteund word van Nederland, het is de juiste moment. Nightwish was altijd goed, Floor is een perfekte Stemm voor de Band.
Groetjes uit Duitsland,
Domyan daar zijn wij het helemaal mee eens ze moet zeker meer moeten gewaardeerd worden in haar thuisland Nederland.
Bedankt voor je leuke reactie. 👍🏻
Nightwish heeft ook 2 datums in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam , waarvan 1 al uitverkocht is ^^
in Cuxhaven in Noord Duitsland in July 2020 een steenworp van de Ned. grens, maar wel van te voren de steen weg gooien waar jullie jarenlang onder gelegen hebben ......
Top love Nightwish and Floor,ik heb ze ong een half jaar geleden ontdekt en ben een fan van deze steengoede band,de composities zijn superb en ik vind alle bandleden goed,en ik ken ze niet persoonlijk,maar ze komen erg echt,normaal en aardig over💕
Leuk om te horen Vera.
Pas op!
Nightwish Army komt er aan!
Hahaha volgens mij zijn ze er al maar wij vinden het alleen maar leuk en ze zijn onwijs aardig mensen geven leuke tips en reageren leuk
Het heet Nightwish Army.
Je wordt gebombardeerd met uitleg en suggesties!
Dank jullie wel voor jullie reactie op Floor Jansen. Nogmaals dank
Graag gedaan en we vonden het ook onwijs leuk om te doen
You know the Valkyries' power takes effect, when dutches react in english cus
Thanks for your comment
Oooo Im so happy that you are listening nightwish and Floor! I really like your comments and waiting to listening more!!!!!!!!!! You are awesome!!!!
You're welcome. Nice to hear that our video liked
You should be proud of the amazing Dutch metal singers, this new "era" of women in metal started back in 95 when a Dutch band recruited an amazing and lovely lady called Anneke Van Giersbergen to join the band, she was one of the first and the most influential singer to bring more women to metal (Floor was one of them she started after seeing Anneke singing), Anneke is still one of the most busy singers she have her solo projects and band and she colaborates with many other bands.
She even sanged for the Dutch king at the veterans day
this is one of the older The Gathering videos back from 97 th-cam.com/video/dJFygYToDl8/w-d-xo.html
And this one is from The Gathering 25 anniversary show she rejoined the band for this celebration th-cam.com/video/gX9nHYj95gw/w-d-xo.html
You're welcome. Nice to hear that our video liked.
thanks for your nice response and tip
You ofcourse will hear that several times, but once more: Wellcome to the world of Floorgasms! Floor is our Valkyrie godess! :)
And if you want a song of similar quality, yet even more complex, poetic (and also even longer) you may wish to try Poet and the pendullum... well it is usually recomended to her few "normal" NW songs before going into that (it works even better if you understand more from the history of the band, among other things how they parted with their original (1st) lead singer (Tarja Turunen) and how upset many fans been with that) but if there is any risc you would miss this song at all, then it definitelly better doing it without background info than not doing it at all...
Some parts of that, Floors voice comes like the voice from heaven, even MORE than in GLS... I find a deep meaning in there, wonderfull...
we have indeed heard more often but thank you
Besides Floor, do you also know your other national treasures ? You should maybe listen to "Tides of Time" from Epica and "Frozen" from Within Temptation to start with.
Greetings from a german Nightwish / Within Temptation fan since 1998/2000.
we have heard of Within Temptation before, we are going there soon.
but thanks for the suggestions and for your response
Leuke reactie. Ben Nightwish gaan uitchecken nadat ik Floor bij beste zangers had gezien en kan nu niet meer zonder! Moet elke dag naar ze luisteren en ga volgend jaar naar hun concert in de Ziggodome. Helaas dus nog wel een jaartje wachten😢. Zal het in de tussentijd dus met alles wat op TH-cam te vinden is moeten doen👍😁
Leuk om te horen dat je onze video leuk vond. We horen het meer hier dat ze gaan naar de ziggodome helaas hadden wij geen kaarten kunnen krijgen maar alvast veel plezier.
Came her for..
Henking Floorgasm: Misson Accomplished
GLS Floorgasm: Mission Accomplished 🤙🤟
Hello! I like the "our dutch pride" and little time before you never heard of her, like maybe 75% of the netherlands and 90% of the world - a little more know since she is with Nightwish, or some guys like me who discovered her in projects like "Star One/Ayreon" (of whom I am a big fan). Since I was young I was listening to metal - well since the NWOBHM exists, still "After Forever" or "ReVamp" I knew, I had in my collection but rarely listened to, and in Ayreon Floor was so discrete that Anneke van Giersbergen or Sharon Del Adel were more in my fave list. Then came "Beste Zangers" that I discovered by accident, following "reaction videos". Honestly, I didn't really know anybody of this show, i am not Dutch, and Floor I knew for her bands without too many memories.... and you know, the artist is often unknown in his own country and needs to conquer passing by other countries (or now TH-cam/TV Shows)... I like your videos and (as I don't speak dutch) am happy about your subtitles. In your first Floor video you stated that you like, but are afraid to learn french, as it is so difficult. Well I am native swiss german, speak french and english (which were rather easy if you have the opportunity to USE it) and had a dutch girlfriend .... but for me/us here .... dutch is as much horror to learn like finnish or russian :D It's just a point of view :p Keep up the good vids (and subtitles), you have a new subscriber! Oh and come on, they don't just sing Phantom oof the OOpera, they live it - you can turn off the sound and - with the expressions in their fadces - can still hear it ;)
Thank you for your great reaction Alexis Ernie. That is absolutely true about the Floor abroad is really a great artist and in the Netherlands the large part has never heard of her. And about French I just don't have languages and many more languages hahaha.
Nice to hear that you are so pleased that we have added English subtitles.
Thank you so much for your information and your nice response.
Nice reaction you guys, and thanks for the subtitle!
Please check out Elan from Nightwish Official music video. You guys are gonna love it!
Thank you and welcome. We will definitely look at it thanks for the tip and the nice response
It's so awesome how she nails this G#5 in every damn show.
Yes that was really great
Leuke video hoor. Even een paar opmerkingen/info wel. Het nummer van Nightwish heet Ghost Love Score. Er wordt in veel metal idd geschreeuwd (growling en grunting heet dat) maar je hebt diverse soorten metal waaronder symphonic metal, waar Nightwish onder valt maar ook die ontzettend goede bands uit Nederland als Delain, Within Temptation, Epica enz.., maar die kenmerkt zich vaak door de iets toegankelijkere toon van de muziek. Gitaren/drums zijn vaak nog steeds goed aanwezig maar je hoort vaak mooie melodielijnen en vaak wordt ook gebruik gemaakt van een koor en strijkinstrumenten e.d. En dat kan in principe zo op de radio. Best wel wat nummers van Nightwish ook. En de bassist van Nightwish (Marco Hietala) trekt zijn mond soms ook open aangezien hij de mannelijke vocalist is in de band. Dit gebeurd bijv. bij I Wish I had an Angel. Ook een aanrader is Nemo.
Veel van deze nummers zijn overigens uit de tijd van een andere zangeres. Deze 2 zijn uit het tijdperk van Tarja en er zijn ook nummers uit de tijd van Annette. Elan is wel een nieuw nummer wat ze met Floor hebben opgenomen (2015) maar bij Floor vind ik ook dat ze die oude nummers de hare kan maken. Tarja is ook een ontzettend goede zangeres maar die deed eigenlijk alles in operastijl. Floor is veel gevarieerder, hoewel ze het echte opera wel kan, maar all out opera style gaat ze eigenlijk niet met Nightwish.
I'm learning Dutch but I still don't understand 99% of what you said 😁 but anyway, each time there's a Floor Jansen video the same word always appear on the comments: "kippenvel".
Yep, absolute kippenvel all over the body each time she sings 😍
J.F. Luiña Bousquet we defenitly agree with that.
Thanks for you’re nice reaction and we have fixed the english subtitles.
Dank voor jullie reactie. Floor wordt nu aan Nightwish gekoppeld, maar zij heeft en doet zoveel meer. We hebben in Nederland nog meer fantastische Symphonic metal bands met wereldwijde grote reputatie.
Deze bands doen bijzondere projecten en ik zou jullie willen aanbevelen om eens rond te kijken bij Within Temptation, Epica, Revamp, After forever, Vuur en vooral ook een bijzondere zangeres Anneke van Giersbergen. Al deze bands hebben uitzonderlijke zangeressen. ENJOY
Bedankt voor je leuke reactie. We gaan zeker ons wat meer verdiepen in dit soort bands dus jou suggestie helpen daar zeker bij dank je wel.
Pronounces Nightwish as Nighwitch after 36 sec. Great start!
Okay, thank you
Other great easy access songs:
Ever Dream (live at Wacken)
Alpenglow (live at Tampere)
Nice to hear that our video likes.
thanks for your nice response and tip
Gracias por reaccionar a la musica de Floor y Nighwish...saludos desde Argentina. they must use the google translator ... hahaha
You're welcome we did it gladly
I would check out 'Poet and the Pendulum' next. For People who are usually not that much into Metal those kind of songs are better at first (after that 'Greatest Show on Earth', 'Sleeping Sun' etc. were good choices)
I would not, its way to early for that song, eventhough its one of the best. They should learn some more songs and specially about the bagground story with Tuomas etc. I would suggest Song of Myself.
Okay thanks for the suggestions we are definitely going to see if what is for our video followed.
Thank you for your response
Leuke show, leuk duo :). Nu ken ik Floor al heel wat jaren, ze is ongelooflijk goed. Zeer divers in haar stem. Van Growling, Rockvoice, Classical, Poppie. Wanneer je meer gaat verdiepen in Symphonische Rock/Metal, dan zie je heel vaak langere songs. Ook met een mooi verhaal en zeer diverse muziek/fraseringen
dank je wel Rene altijd leuk om te horen.
