In life everything is a competition. even to exist is a struggle. The great thing about this show is that it's not a competition. It's just enjoying being able to do each other.
You can see them enjoying each others company (so rare to see on TV these days), having a blast, hearing different twists on the music they know and love.
Unpopular opinion, which I might be crucified for: after listening to the latest Nightwish album, I'd say she sounds better in the songs that were NOT written for her.☹
I've heard Spanish speakers say she nailed the language. Not a single mistake. BTW, the song with her singing it went to number one on iTunes in Peru and several other South American countries. They love her down there.
Rolf Sanchez is such a lovely guy and Floor does something special with his song for him. You gotta love the effort she puts in to not only sing the words but understand them and learn how to put the emotion into another language. Many people sing the odd song in another language but without that effort, just singing the words
there are no spectators, only them. The good thing about this show is that it's not a competition like everything else in America (no offense intended)🎶🎶🤟🏻🤟🏻
Beste Zangers 2019 was so much fun to watch. I tuned in for Floor but became a fan of all of the singers, especially Samantha and her awesome voice. If you'd like to se something from an earlier season, I strongly recommend OG3NE from 2016. Their covers of "Clown" and "Sing" from that season have to be heard to be believed. OG3NE is a group of three Dutch sisters, an older sister and two twins, who harmonize better than anyone I've heard and are fantastic singers when on their own. One vocal coach I saw react to them says they sing with "surgical precision," and it's hard to argue with that.
@@stpfs9281 Yeah, if you're not familiar with Mexican rock band The Warning, they're three sisters, close in age, and they have the same facial features (especially their jawline, chin, and nose) and have the similarities you mentioned.
I'm glad you watched the song with the intro because you hear the salsa version of Rolf Sanchez (his stage name and writer) and the version of Floor. I really enjoyed this reaction.
One of my Favorite songs on this show 🥰. And also, I am thrilled for my physical copy of "Beste Zangers seizoen 12". What can I say, Floor just sings pure Gold !!!!! NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
It is not so difficult to sing a song in a different language. You learn the words phonetically. But Floor calls herself a musical nerd, so she really wants to know what the meaning of the song is, so she can put the necessary emotional icing on it. And the result is breathtaking as usual with her. Personally I am fluent in Dutch, English and German and know some French, but way to little to really understand a conversation between French people.
French is impossible to understand. It's basically "the Danish" of the Romance languages. I know Swedish, so written Danish is no problem, but spoken Danish is an atrocious mess of random vowels and guttural sounds, they barely open their mouth when they speak and can't be bothered to pronounce any dental consonants. French is only marginally better in this regard.
Very good idea to react to SMS, some really nice songs coming your direction ... Floor is speaking German in that show ... I speak Nederlands and English, some: German, French, Spanish and Russian. We in the Netherlands don't find it "special" to know other languages ... it's part of our upbringing ... Shine on ...
Still a beautiful song, Floor 🌸 did her best as always. In the Netherlands we learn many languages at school That is English, French and German👩🏼💻📚👩🏼🏫🦉 We Dutch people go on holiday a lot here in Europe 🇪🇺 Italy Switzerland, Austria, France and then it is very useful. Also learned a lot from my German husband. Always sweet comments and wishes from both of you 👩❤️👨 💌 😘
I don't remember the details, but I too read that her version was a big hit down there. So happy for her, and it was cool that she dedicated it partially to her Spanish-speaking fans.
Fishmaster still making you giggle! Isn't it great to see Floor in a conversation, fairly comfortable? This is for Rolf and also her South American fans :) Apart from the flower in her hair, I thought that she looked like an Olympic swimmer, about to dive in (to emotions!). Floor doing her thing, starting of quietly, Rolf already losing it. Ramping it up... Woo Hoo! "Lekker, man!" (Nice, tasty, yummy). This show is so lovely, not really a competition. (people might have got confused by Floor singing "Winner"!). Best to get out and about, if you can, variety of scenery helps.
Hi dears! Nice to see you again! I’ve been quite busy, and not much online… I am starting to catch up first on your Floor en NW reactions!❤❤ Edit: i just recovered from covid, so I am beating the winter blues too!😀 Oh, about languages, as a Dutchie I speaks Dutch, i had English , French and German at high school, so I’ll manage to get around with that (sort of.. 😂). I did a 1-year Spanish course, so I known some words.. and now I am studying Swedish with Duo Lingo (I lived in Sweden for 3 months during my study long ago, and still have a crush on it!)… not bad for a beta, right? ( I am a chemist😉)…
Jaså... Det ska inte vara för svårt för en nederländska att lära sig svenska. Vi har en bra förebild för det... om du förstår vad jag menar. :) Hon har dock en god lärare (lycklige jävel).😂 Did you understand it? I've noticed that knowing Swedish as a second language and "some" German, I can somewhat understand written Dutch. It should work the other way around too.
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 Hi! I do not know all the words yet, 😀😀but I do understand that you mean Floor is an example of a dutchie learning Swedish ( and having the best teacher)!😀😀 what is your first language??
@@ericavantilburg6252 Correct. The teacher is Hannes, of course, and "lycklige jävel" means lucky bastard.😂 My native language is Russian, so it's not too related, except being Indo-European. Still, there are a lot of similarities between Germanic and Slavic languages.
Finnish, Swedish (not as fluent as after school), English, few word French and German. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world (Mandarin Chinese way ahead) So I'm trying to learn it. English is easiest to learn for universal use, that's why it's non-native language nr 1. Canadian English is tough slang with it doupledoubles and two-fours. But in few comments I've mentioned that I am Molson Muscle builder (favorite add to my grammary😁) and it has not passed through language barrier, even got some support to keep going. So of course I do! LOL
In the Netherlands kids get to learn other languages from a very young age. That makes it much easier to learn. It normally starts from the age of 4-5 years old. It first starts with Dutch of course, but they’ll soon get English as well. At high school they will be first taught French, and later German as well. Next to English and Dutch. Some kids even get Latin and Ancient Greek too, but those children will go on and study at university. Nowadays it’s not uncommon to also have to option to drop French or German, and get Spanish or even Chinese instead. Next to all of this, we frequently listen to foreign music, and watch foreign movies and series. And only with Dutch subtitles, that’s why we pick up other languages more quickly. This could be the reason why 94% of the Dutch people claim they can comfortably speak English. And often other languages too.
Do programming languages count? 😁 Well, Swedish and English, with some bits and pieces of German. I actually "knew" many more languages when I was a very little kid, but when I started to mix several languages so that basically noone could understand me, my parents decided to limit the selection a tad. Like many Swedes, I understand Norwegian quite well and, with a bit more difficulty, Danish. I'm considering learning Spanish, though. Anyway, thanks for another great reaction!
Spanish (and Finnish) are probably the easiest languages to learn phonetically, they have very straightforward and consistent pronunciation rules. The problem with singing in a language you don't understand is that you can easily swap syllables or even say words that don't make sense without noticing it. This means you need to practice a lot and memorize the lyrics really well - and this is Floor's biggest problem, she sometimes forgets the lyrics even in English (and she's so adorable in these moments :) She does make some pronunciation mistakes when singing in Spanish and Finnish, but I couldn't care less about it.
@@alanfoster6589 Italian has a phonemic distinction between the open and closed E and O sounds, not shown in writing, and no accent marks when stress is not on the penultimate syllable. It makes it harder than Spanish in the beginning, but not too much. Mandarin and other tonal languages aren't easy, that's for sure, but the native American ones are really something else... :) Of all European languages, Danish must be the worst. Insane amount of vowel qualities (something like 25-27) and total lack of articulation. "Jæuåøijå" (Jeg er ude på øen i åen). You can't understand it when spoken and you can't speak it unless you're permanently drunk.😂
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 If you're permanently drunk, nobody cares whether your pronounciation is correct anyway. I'd always heard Hungarian was the toughest European language, but in my experience in speaking Italian and Spanish I found Italian easier (just a personal take). Some languages I've tried, like Arabic and Hindi, are fairly easy to speak. Reading them, however....
@@alanfoster6589 Hungarian is located in Europe and I'm sure that's what you meant, because it's not an Indo-European language and that's why it's tough. Since we're talking about phonetics, the biggest challenge with Hungarian is the phonemic vowel length. It's very uncommon in modern European languages. I tried to learn it years ago but had no use for it, so I wasn't very motivated.
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 Unless languages are your business, or you used a lot of them frequently, real life intrudes on such learning. Never enough time :).
Floor is so good, these metal ladies are great. Floor has been great since After Forever, here's a few links to legendary performances of cult songs, you will surely love them: Estranged live in bibelot: th-cam.com/video/7fwpIInRzCM/w-d-xo.html Intrinsic Live un Bibelot: th-cam.com/video/Z8B6UiMzAI0/w-d-xo.html I could go on but i dont want to make it long, last suggestion is Leaden Legacy, this song i claim it is the best symphonic metal song, at least in the top 3, here's a link: th-cam.com/video/Qo5f18v6om0/w-d-xo.html
unfortunately I haven't been able to enjoy my life for many years. I'm just sitting out my years of life now. I now only live a little for someone else with names my niece of 6 years how do you explain to his child that her uncle she loves no longer wants to live like this?. unfortunately, medical support for transition is still a long time coming with an average of 3 to 4 years waiting time here in the Netherlands. in the meantime, your life is on pause, so to speak
Floor is a special kind of human.
In life everything is a competition. even to exist is a struggle. The great thing about this show is that it's not a competition. It's just enjoying being able to do each other.

I agree with the Wolfman. The Beste Zangers show is a very lovely show, great concept show and should be in the states. Enjoy you day out Thanks guys.
Floor can't just sing everything, she can also make it sound like it was written for her 🙂
Unpopular opinion, which I might be crucified for: after listening to the latest Nightwish album, I'd say she sounds better in the songs that were NOT written for her.☹
I've heard Spanish speakers say she nailed the language. Not a single mistake. BTW, the song with her singing it went to number one on iTunes in Peru and several other South American countries. They love her down there.
The only thing I heard (as a non-native speaker) was that afaik the ‘h’ in hora should be silent…
She turned a summer breeze into a raging thunder storm.

Floor es fantástico! It was Rolf Sanchez.
Thanks for translating the Spanish text to English, great to read along and understand what she is singing about.
That's why she's the Best

This is my favourite Floor Jansen song and performance...period...
this was a great episode. especially floor and henk with noelia did great.
Maravillosa Floor, no hay nada que ella no pueda cantar. Su versatilidad y dedicación en cada entrega la hace por lejos la mejor. ❤️💪🤘
Yes this show ,there is no competition . Just a close friends singing to eachother . Yes. Usa should have this
I'm glad you watched the song with the intro because you hear the salsa version of Rolf Sanchez (his stage name and writer) and the version of Floor. I really enjoyed this reaction.

NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
She sang it for Rolf Sanchez. You should also react to Rolf Sanchez singing Hotel California for Floor.
Love you guys so much, you make me laugh, always.
Merry Christmas to you both, the kiddos and the Doggos!!

If I recall correctly, Floor's version hit #1 in Peru for several weeks and #2 or 3 in Chile.
I don't remember the details, but I too read that her version was a big hit down there. So happy for her, and it was cool that she dedicated it partially to her Spanish-speaking fans.
Yup. #1 in Peru, #1 in Argentina, top 5 in Chile, top 10 everywhere else in S. America.
10
Rolf Sanchez (the singer, on the hot seat) sang Hotel California in his version on Floor’s evening in Beste Zangers 2019. Very much fun to watch!!
When your own song becomes your favotite hahaha
