There's a spot around 2:32 that tells she's lip syncing on this video. But as we have witnessed on the "How's The Heart" acoustic vetsion, she could do this while sitting down.
Once again hailing from Finland. I has not been many hours since Floor uploaded this cover & it is already gone viral with many reactions, the fastest only minutes after she uploaded this. Floor covered this song already in 2007 with her band "After Forever", with her band partner & friend Joost van den Broek on piano. Joost played the piano also for this new cover & Floor is also recording her 1st solo album with him. Once again she made the song her own & I think that Ann Wilson would agree as she was already very impressed with the 2007 cover, and this is even more emotional with stellar vocals & interpretation.
There is also few video footage from Nightwish cruise 2015. From Finland to Sweden was normal concert and when coming back from Sweden, they had "´Nightwish goes acustic" concert. "Alone" here: th-cam.com/video/ObT2E9QTIZs/w-d-xo.html
@@robertsheeler321 No that you mentioned it, I remembered having googled that fact myself when people started reacting to Floor's cover with her former band After Forever released in 2007.
@@pete_lind I got that understanding that they worked together on her solo stuff - her covers are just to keep her and her fans on fire. But it certainly deserves to be on the solo album - she is doing magic once again
Great joy! ;) One remark on 'stripped back' versions, these only work if the artists (soloist and support) are exceptional. Floor (ofc) but also Joost (fantastic keys player)!
This was definitely in the spirit of Floor's "After Forever" cover which also just had Floor and the piano. She has sung it live as well with a more full rock arrangement. I absolutely love Joost Van den Broek on piano.
Floorgasms all around. I was one of the first 1,000 people to listen to this today 16 minutes after it was released. It's already over 136,000 views 8 hours later. I will be listening to this several more times before the end of the day I'm sure.
Her voice now sounds more mature, not like the 20 year old girl she was with After Forever (about 15 years ago), Her voice sounds older and wiser. th-cam.com/video/EpxOKueE-_0/w-d-xo.html The difference is clearly audible. She has experienced more problems such as a burnout and became a mother herself.
In the video of After Forever she was 21 years old, in february 2021 she will be 40 right??!!! So i think it was almost 20 years ago, and she still look and sounds that great
The key word is "looks". Ot certainly isn't easy to sing like that sitting down. Her posture is key. Her spine is straight, and her feet firmly planted.
@@ChrisPage68 I think she mimed/sang it to her own recording PM just to make the video, I think more support is needed for it and she wouldn't therefore do it sitting down, also the setting, make-up and dress had to be specifically arranged. if we look at the last part of Poet she is sitting in front of the drum kit but stands when more support and breath is needed. I suspect the Frozen cover was done similarly. But I could be entirely wrong though.
@@572Btriode That's right, she is doing lip sync. But she is the best at doing that as well lol. In How's the Heart she does ridiculous belting while sitting, and that's live so I won't say she couldn't do it here, but definitely doesn't in this particular video.
This is the third time she does it. She's done it with After Forever, her first band, she's done it with parts of Nightwish (I think it was on a Nightwish cruise) and now she's doing it solo. Joost van den Broek is the man playing the piano. he was in After Forever with Floor, and is Arjens (Ayreon) right hand man.
The original is always the original. This massively famous power ballad from the 80's is one of my favorite Heart songs (and I've been following their career from the 70's). Floor is a genius. She stripped this song down and did a very intimate and emotional version with excellent vocals. This was phenomenal.
Agreed, what a beautiful reaction to our beautiful Floor, she tricked me, being so close to Christmas I thought she might possibly do "Ave Maria" !, have you heard that version with Marco ? Seriously, I think those two should do more duets, maybe next year leading up to this beautiful festive season...
Lovely cover from Floor! And have got a ticket for her concert, that would have been in october 18th last year, then changed into december 13th, then march 13th, then may 30th but will be now on September 1st. So looking forward to it! She will have Henk Poort as special quest! Have you seen their cover from PhAntom of the Opera?
I totally agree with Ginger. The first thing I said to my wife that I missed the harmonies in the chorus. In Let it go,she did harmonies so I assumed she would do that in this cover...but of course...still did an amazing job indeed!!
Love your reactions on Nightwish, Floor, Epica ... however can't believe that you didn't go for "Dead Boy's Poem" in Buenis Aires and "7 Days to the wolves" 🐶in Wembley yet. They are my favorites. 😍😍 All the best, stay safe 🍀🍀🍀 Greetings from Germany 😃
You might be interested who the pianist is, though if you listened to 'the day that the world breaks down' by Ayreon you already know, Joost van den Broek. And yes, Arjen has has a lot of influence in how he chooses his colleagues for his projects.
I hear you Ginger. I find myself attempting to sing the harmony parts. I think Mike is referring to the slick production with all of he backing vocals and full rock band sound. Major production and multi-tracking. Loved it. Peace.
There is an old version from the Nightwish Cruise where she harmonizes with Troy and Marco. Of course it is only recorded with a cellphone, but if you are curious... Now you know it ;-) Alles Gute zum 1ten Advent.
Hi Mike, Ginger, Oh wow, those first few bars, and I was chilled to the bone already, all body goosebumps, and tears in my eyes. I could barely keep them there. Floor is something else, for sure. The emotion she poors out with this song. Ouch, tears running down my face now. She gets me every time, but this time, wow ... Ok, quite a bit later now, having recovered a little bit: lovely reaction again, but then, I do not expect anything less from you both :). I noticed you both got a bit emotional as well, even though you tried to hide it ;). Loved your dress too, Ginger, very nice - a little bit of Floor-style, just a bit softer :). As to the style and interpretation Floor put into it: I really had to listen carefully to recognise th eoriginal song, it sounded really liek somethign completely different, somethign very personaly, touching, hitting hard and deep. Just amazing .... Love, and warmest regards, Wim
WOW WOW she just keeps getting better and better and she's sitting down as well incredibly !!!!!!!! .that really gets u emotional for me anyway, yes i know this song very well....💕..
You do know that Floor also did this song during the Nightwish concert on the Baltac Princess cruise ship, where Troy started the theme from Titanic, suggesting Floor would sing that song but she wouldn't have it, and sang 'Alone' instead: th-cam.com/video/ObT2E9QTIZs/w-d-xo.html
Yep - Marco shouting "She is going to do it, she is going to do it!! 😂 They simply are great on a stage - and Floor making face of Troy because he got her on the special guest star Damn I didn't go on that boat trip
The original recording of Alone was recorded By a group called i-Ten in 1983 and then Heart covered it and then that's when the song became uber popular.
Great guys - you were quick picking up this one - beautiful and different from her version done 15 years ago (I think I read somewhere Ann actually like that version too back then)
Carrie Underwood, Céline and this is Floor's 3rd or 4th time covering this song. After Forever and Nightwish a couple of times. Carrie also sang it with Ann and Nancy at their concert.
Floor is always amazing, but how much more epic would this be with Simone from Epica doing backup vocals! Great reaction as always. Love you guys, see you next time.
And, yes, I agree about missing the sisters' harmony, but this particular tune was never one of my favorites. Too late in their corpus ;) I'm more on the harder, Barracuda side with Mike here LOL
Hi hope u both ok it steve in uk again as u no im.subscribed huge rock and nightwish fan.just 1 quick thing floor did a cover of heart alone bout 5 years ago .this is just her latrst cover of the song .i love heart to .love barracuda to lol. Hope u both good
Great enthusiasm for Floor as always, Ginger. But would you be surprised to know that Heart's version is a "cover" as well. It was not an original Heart song. "Alone" was originally written, composed and performed by the band "i-Ten" back in the early 80's. Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly made up that band. All that aside, thanks for a great reaction! You guys are great!
Great reaction, loved the expressions, they said it all! I do agree however, there's a little something missing without the harmony part Nancy sang. I understand Floor's choice to strip this back...and it's GORGEOUS. But something in my heart (bad pun?) is just missing that female harmony "How do I get you alone?"
Agree with the harmonies, still I think it was very very good. More like the acoustic version of Nancy and Ann Wilson. Good scream, got a feeling that at the end the "alone" is an higher note than Ann's which was a fun touch too.
Eh, the Heart version isn't the original. The song was composed by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and recorded it under the band name I-Ten, the album was called Taking a Cold Look.
I wonder why I never heard of Heart before. I hear/see people talk about them lately, but I have no idea. Maybe they never made it in The Netherlands? I understand they're from the 80's and that was the time I was next to the radio, recording songs on cassettes. Hmm. Did they skip my country? lol
if you wanna hear someone harmonize with themselves in real time check out Snarky Puppy feat. Lalah Hathaway - Something (Family Dinner - Volume One) . She can carry 2 different notes at the same time.
Great reaction guys! This one is for Mike - If you are the Barracuda guy i strongly suggest you guys check out the cover by Sershen&Zaritskaya feat. Kim and Shturmak and i think you will not regret it :) Stay safe!
If you're itching for some harmonies, Nightwish did an acoustic cover of this live: th-cam.com/video/OI2sojuvnrY/w-d-xo.html So with Marko and Troy... need I say more?
Until Nooow, she always got by on her own.😁 What can I say? Other than, another gem on her crown. 🤩 Ooooh I hope this won't end though... Wait what! It HAS ended!?😾 😂
Hi Ginger, I really like your outfit! Where do you get such neat clothes to wear? It reminds me of some of Floor's outfits, e.g. the black dress she wore at the Gouden Televizier-Ring Gala, October 14, 2020. She would look really good in the one you have. Maybe send her a photo of it or a source?
Thank you! This is a bustier from a company that has since screwed me over, so I will not be repping them. Pity, because their products are very good quality. I have no doubt Floor has a magnificent wardrobe. I am flattered you think she’d be interested in mine 😊 - G
From my point of view, at this moment Top-2 female singers are Floor and Dolly Parton (Yep, countryrock is one of my favorites and I have also heard Dolly singing Led Zeppelin song in live).
@@MikeandGinger She had gig at Copenhagen some years ago and I took flight there just for her gig. That woman can really sing and she have HUGE stage charisma. Concert tickets and flights costs were around 400 USD but it was worth of that money.
i agree about Nancy Wilsons added harmonizing. I think in Frozen cover it was her sister which would have been awesome to do it here too and really would have honored the collab nature of Ann and Nancy if Floor and her Sister did the collab here. But it was great anyway
Floor did her own harmonizing in the Frozen cover. Floor's version of Alone is a slower tempo with more emotion. That's why she didn't add any harmonizing... It's supposed to be one woman's lament.
Hi Mike & Ginger. There are complete episodes available with eng. subs of every artist of the beste zangers 2019. you only have to searce here on youtube for instance ruben annink beste zangers 2019 made by Paul H. You simply had to chance the name of the artist voor an other episode.
Here is a LIVE version from the Christmas show in 2013 after the Wacken concert (th-cam.com/video/6bwZ2zWVZd4/w-d-xo.html). I like that one a lot even though the video and audio are so-so she still nails it. The other one is the acoustic Nightwish version (th-cam.com/video/OI2sojuvnrY/w-d-xo.html) done aboard their cruise ship concert. See which one you enjoy the most. Hey it is close to holiday so let have Floor sing (6 months pregnant) Raskasta Joulua - Oi Jouluyö (Oh Holy Night)(th-cam.com/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/w-d-xo.html).
Nope, I believe she is from Andromeda, where everything is buildt in power somethings - therefore she has developed this ability to express emotions in sounds. Seriously - she is just getting better and better - as Hannes says - just you wait!! her solo stuff are beyond anything - and he knows her if any!!
Floor with a great cover. If I had to pick one, I'd still go with Ann Wilson. Carrie Underwood also does a good cover which is more inline with Heart's version. Actually, they did a slightly pulled back version together! th-cam.com/video/UQ7ZmaL2480/w-d-xo.html If looking for some 80's CanCon then maybe something from underrated (maybe even mostly forgotten?) Dalbello.
The power Floor generates... even while sitting, is absolutely phenomenal. She doesn't have vocal cords, she has vocal cables!!
The really impressive part of this is she is SITTING DOWN... all that power without extending her body at all...
Is she practicing for an "Akin Ka Na Lang" cover ? 😁
All technically good singers can do that. I think she took the example from Henk Poort's "Sound of Silence" from the BesteZangers episode.
@@Klojum I wonder how many can even do this :

She has experienced more problems such as a burnout and became a mother herself.
and has Hannes in her life now, too.
And of course, she's a total pro who's always trying to get better, so it's the result of 15 years of WORK, not just 15 years of life.
The arrangement is practically the same though, I liked that. Love that piano.

Hi Ginger, I really like your outfit! Where do you get such neat clothes to wear? It reminds me of some of Floor's outfits, e.g. the black dress she wore at the Gouden Televizier-Ring Gala, October 14, 2020. She would look really good in the one you have. Maybe send her a photo of it or a source?
Thank you! This is a bustier from a company that has since screwed me over, so I will not be repping them. Pity, because their products are very good quality. I have no doubt Floor has a magnificent wardrobe. I am flattered you think she’d be interested in mine 😊 - G
FLOORGASM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From my point of view, at this moment Top-2 female singers are Floor and Dolly Parton (Yep, countryrock is one of my favorites and I have also heard Dolly singing Led Zeppelin song in live).
I LOVE Dolly Parton ❤️ - G
@@MikeandGinger She had gig at Copenhagen some years ago and I took flight there just for her gig.
That woman can really sing and she have HUGE stage charisma. Concert tickets and flights costs were around 400 USD but it was worth of that money.
I'd love to see you guys do a reaction to the song Nemo by Nightwish, but the acoustic Planet Rock version. So beautiful :)
i agree about Nancy Wilsons added harmonizing. I think in Frozen cover it was her sister which would have been awesome to do it here too and really would have honored the collab nature of Ann and Nancy if Floor and her Sister did the collab here. But it was great anyway
Floor did her own harmonizing in the Frozen cover. Floor's version of Alone is a slower tempo with more emotion. That's why she didn't add any harmonizing... It's supposed to be one woman's lament.
No messing about here guys. Got this one out quickly. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What's scary is Floor is SITTING Down whilst blasting this song out!
If you haven't done it yet Ayreon - the day that the world breaks down. same pianist in there :)
❤
876-0 likes-dislikes.. that's insane! You love to see it
Not insane. Perfectly rational. Who could possibly dislike Floor?! 😜 - G
Floor must be some kind of witch, incredible artist. Her ring is proof, looks like some kind of occult artifact.
Hi Mike & Ginger. There are complete episodes available with eng. subs of every artist of the beste zangers 2019. you only have to searce here on youtube for instance ruben annink beste zangers 2019 made by Paul H. You simply had to chance the name of the artist voor an other episode.
By the way Heart did not do the original version, I believe it was a band called I Ten.
Here is a LIVE version from the Christmas show in 2013 after the Wacken concert (th-cam.com/video/6bwZ2zWVZd4/w-d-xo.html). I like that one a lot even though the video and audio are so-so she still nails it. The other one is the acoustic Nightwish version (th-cam.com/video/OI2sojuvnrY/w-d-xo.html) done aboard their cruise ship concert. See which one you enjoy the most. Hey it is close to holiday so let have Floor sing (6 months pregnant) Raskasta Joulua - Oi Jouluyö (Oh Holy Night)(th-cam.com/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/w-d-xo.html).
There is a version with the rest of Nightwish. I think it’s an acoustic version.
this girls going places !
She's already been to plenty of places. But she's reaching new audiences.
Mike, I'm also a barracuda man. What a great track. Floor has done a nice cover with this track though.
Marko has that Nancy hair going so he could provide some good harmony for a live version!
Hahaha! His hair does look like Nancy’s! 🤣 - G
Awesome dress Ginger!
Floor has no ceiling.
Or walls.
Nope, I believe she is from Andromeda, where everything is buildt in power somethings - therefore she has developed this ability to express emotions in sounds.
Seriously - she is just getting better and better - as Hannes says - just you wait!! her solo stuff are beyond anything - and he knows her if any!!
@@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038 oh I believe it !!!!
Her voice blows away her roof...time after time...than the scandinavian cold comes in.
The original is not by Heart, it was i-10!
Also fun fact that you mention Barracuda as a live version was on the 'B' side of the Alone single
It took Heart to make it famous. And Floor's taken it to new heights.
@@ChrisPage68 I quite agree.
Is that a bodice? Ok why the hell do I know what a bodice is? lol
Very beautiful btw.....and very nice reaction you two. :)
Thank you! It’s a bustier. 😁 - G
I love Floor! Please try Lisa Gerrard - Sanvean
Heart covert the song originaly from the band i10
i love the way she sing...but i miss the beast in her on stage.stay safe
Did you do a reaction of floors first solo song fire
Yes.

😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗
Floor with a great cover. If I had to pick one, I'd still go with Ann Wilson. Carrie Underwood also does a good cover which is more inline with Heart's version. Actually, they did a slightly pulled back version together! th-cam.com/video/UQ7ZmaL2480/w-d-xo.html
If looking for some 80's CanCon then maybe something from underrated (maybe even mostly forgotten?) Dalbello.
I remember Dalbello. Great suggestion! - G
Joost van de Broek is a master of keys
You should react to Mónica Naranjo's cover of "Creep".
