What could be better than this? My favorite Finnish reactor doing a reaction to a song by my favorite female vocalist who is the lead singer for a Finnish symphonic metal band!!! Sometimes the planets align and something wonderful happens. Thanks so much, Anna. Everyone was expecting her to metal it up, and she did it so laid back. It was beautiful, and shows off some elements of her voice that may get overlooked. Love from Mike in Chicago.
Mike!! 😊❤️ yayyy I am happy that you are happy! You are welcome, making this was an absolute pleasure. Floor really surprised everyone with this, didn't she? Terveisiä Chicagoon! xx
You MUST to see How's the heart acoustic version on planet rock... More pure is impossible... The vocal acrobacies there are fantastic... And is a song written for her.
@@nicod1361 Floor doesn't, but this is produced by Avro-Tros and they tend to sneak some autotune into the recordings. They used it outrageously with Henk Poort Sound of Silence, who doesn't need that at all.
@@annavaskelainen Hello Anna. I see you've reacted to some Nightwish. Do you like symphonic metal? :) I think you should react to Nightwish's heavier cousin EPICA. It's a Dutch sympho metal band with a gorgeous singer Simone Simons (she's also classically trained). Simone and Floor from Nightwish are friends and they've performed together. The founder of Epica, Mark Jansen was in a group called After Forever where Floor was a lead vocalist. So both Epica and Nightwish share some history. Not sure what kind of music you like, but Epica is very diverse. Let's try "Universal Death Squad" th-cam.com/video/P_Ys_W7ySkM/w-d-xo.html Epica is generally heavier than Nightwish, but this song should be OK. If you like it, we can try something heavier later :) Or perhaps some of their wonderful ballads?
@@cancelled_user Hi Kyle! This one almost slipped my radar because you didn't write a separate comment! 😊 EPICA is in my list! I have a broad taste in music so I am open to everything really. 😊 Thank you for your message, hope to see you around here in the comment section! xx
@@annavaskelainen Oh yeah, I'm glad you noticed it :) I thought when I reply by clicking on your name, it will highlight that "someone mentioned you" in the comment. Seriously, do Epica ASAP please :) Do not wait... I need to tell you Epica often use harsh male vocals (death metal growls and a little of black metal screams), but if you're a metalhead, you probably don't mind. If you DO mind, then we should start with some songs that don't have harsh vocals. The duality between Mark's harsh vocals and Simone's angelic soprano represent good and evil, light and darkness, etc. The concept originated in gothic metal where it's called "beauty and the beast". So, are you OK with growls? Some Epica songs have more of it, some only have literally 20 seconds and some don't have it at all. If you tell me what you prefer I can tailor my suggestions for you better ;)
Love all the songs she sang on 'Beste Zangers' (best singers). Her performances in this tv show finally made her popular in the Netherlands too. Many people had never heard of her before. You just don't hear metal on mainstream radio here. Unfortunately. But people know of her now, for sure. Because of the success of this show, she got to do a solo tour in the Netherlands. It sold out within hours. She performed songs from the tv show, but also from Nightwish and her past bands After Forever and Revamp. I saw one of these shows just before Covid hit. She still has to do the final show in Amsterdam, which will be filmed, so everyone can enjoy it. 💜
@@annavaskelainen The show will be recorded professionally and published on TH-cam. Floor did a crowdfunding to make this happen, because many people were complaining that she only did this tour in the Netherlands.
The show -Beste Zangers is an absolutely awesome concept. It's so great to have Dutch Musicians get a chance to meet their fellow Dutch entertainers. The musicians are from different music genres, different walks of life & with different skills & strengths to bring to the show. It's truly a great concept & I'm so happy for The Beste Zangers' Band & for Floor, Henk, NW for everything that's happened since Floor's appearance in 2019.
What a well considered reaction. Floor sings every song how she thinks is most suitable. Her empathy is without measure. There are no mediocre performances on her TH-cam channel and she appears to be a beautiful soul.
Floor explained in the show that the whole idea was to keep the song "small", the song is building up naturally, and the challenge was to keep it small & very fragile, where the initial expectation of the audience was that she would belt it out
@@luisendymion9080 yeah Floor really liked the studio band -- for a good reason too, it's good! -- to the point to asking this band if they would tour with her.
@@annavaskelainen Certainly it was worth the wait :) I remember that when Floor performed this cover in 2019, she took everyone by surprise with her approach, including Nightwish fans. Obviously, I prefer this version, because the emotional impact is major, compared to the initial version. I have a lump in my throat every time I listen to it, for 2 years now. The way Floor conveys the message is subtle, delicate and efficient at the same time. You're listening, and you don't know what hit you.
@@gabriel.bardac Hi Gabriel. It sounded just as good when she did this live during het solo tour. People were all listening quietly, mesmerized, loving it.
@@martine3293 This is the hallmark of great vocalists, the fact that they maintain a constant quality of performance, regardless of external conditions. I look forward to the promised concert, which will be professionally recorded and broadcast online. I've been waiting for it for a year and a half already.. :)
Floor is a great singer💕 What she sings is always AMAZING💕You can hear this all day long. I ❤️ Love Floor🥰 OUR QUEEN👸👑 Thank You so much 😍 Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🌷 🇳🇱 🙋🏼♀️ 😘
I am sorry I showed up late, but I want to thank you for your detailed reaction, very nice. I had to wait for the CC to show up for me, but was worth the wait, loved hearing your response. Floor's version is best to me, but I will admit my bias. To me she is the perfect singer, to my ear, none come close, and I have listened to many many talented singers in my 53 years Floor turns me to Jello. Ty again
No worries Allen- better late than never! I am pretty late myself catching up with all the messages haha. 😂 Good to know you eventually got the CC! Floor really touches me too. Be well Allen! xx
An absolutely exquisite rendition and so beautiful to witness such a magnificent artist ! Floor is truly a captivating and passionate singer ! She captured my heart and grabbed my soul completely with this performance ! Thank you Anna , I'm just getting into all your reactions/analysis of Floor ! She's got me following her journey now ! You always have the very best on your channel ! Much love Anna ! God bless ! 👍🇨🇦❤️
I was super surprised she kept it so small, like most people 😁. Note that Tim Akkerman chose her for the duet episode, singing Shallow again. Also a very nice version.
It was fun watching this show and having Floor get up to sing and being asked by the young Dutch Reggaeton singer, Rolf Sanchez, "Are you going to do it in your own version, Floor?" With Floor answering, "Yes, but it may be the opposite of what you expect". Boy was it! :D Thanks for another awesome, incredibly detailed analysis video, Anna. I enjoyed seeing you as enraptured as I always am hearing it, and following your breakdown was a delight :)
hahaa she really surprised everyone with this didn't she! 😂 You are welcome, GL (what is your real name? 😊) I really enjoyed this performance, if it wasn't obvious already. 😂 xx
@@annavaskelainen Yes, the whole season in fact was spent with most of those on the sofa wide-eyed and open-mouthed at her performances, haha! And to answer your question, when not impersonating a vegetation-colored feline, I go by the name, Paul 👋😊
Love your videos! That's just another one to add to my favourites. I was waiting for it for a few days and now I had to be late lol. Life's just not fair. Plain and simple. Stay awesome and don't stop making these videos. \m/
Henk Poort and Floor is doing the Phantom of the Opera, Henk is doing a great Sound of Silence. . Floor sings opera, first show she sings Vilja song in german and Puccini's O Mio Babbino Caro in a other Dutch TV show and she sings from the GameCube game Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Sound of the Wind. Both on TH-cam ...
What i like most about watching your videos is contemplating your sensibilty and how yuou transmit it to all of us , you are a wonderfull woman and it s a pleasure to follow you
We really enjoyed your reaction to this performance. You did not disappoint. So much fun when she surprises the listener and provides something different from what is assumed and expected. Such an amazing talent with the emotion to make every performance special. Well done and thank you. Stay safe.
Hi Ron and Joanne! Glad to know you guys enjoyed this one. 😊 I really enjoyed her take on this song as well. 🎵 Her stage presence is spotless. Be well you two! xx
Floor approached this song so delicately. It really gave it a personal and intimate feeling. Loved your commentary lovely lady. Lady who? Floor owns this song now! Be well. Peace. 😊🙏🙏🙏💖
You are absolutely right.😊 What do you mean by lady who? You can see my full name on my channel. 😊 Yess she totally made the song her own. Be well Thorgrim! xx
Wish version? Considering I've never listen to Lady Gaga perform the song and I've heard Floor sing it maybe a hundred times, I'll let you draw your own conclusions. This being the second performance I'd heard her do (the duet with Henk being the first) it made me an instant fan for life. In fact she did several songs I found moving, from Vilja Lied to the weepy What Do I Know About Love. Excellent deconstruction Anna.
OMG that was fantastic. Which version do i prefer? This one of course :) Floor sings it ;) Good to see you again. I know, i didn't show up for a while, so it is on me. Still.
CHRIS! ❤️ Glad to see you here in the comments again! 😊 I kind of had a hunch of your answer to that question. 😉 Kuinka suomen kielen opiskelusi sujuvat? xx
What a lovely reaction? So here is a new fanboy born to your reactions, I‘ve been a fanboy to Floor since I heard this performance. She is so smart in her musical choices. I think you understand her technique a lot better, but the feeling could be similar.
Your engagement in your reactions is really something. I can't understand a word you say, but your face says it all. You're really engrossed in what you're watching. Plus, you're really cute :-). I hope the best for you you.
I really enjoyed your breakdown of Floor’s cover….thank you for the subtitles. I prefer Floor’s rendition…as a listener, any song that can brings out emotions …well…it’s nice!
You told us to wait a long time Anna! But it was worth it - a very nice reaction - analytical and emotional at the same time. Bradley and Lady Gaga made me know this song - and I liked it. But it was Floor that made me love this song and its version. Lady Gaga hits me in the face with her voice - and it works, it works very well. What is Floor doing? Well - Floor knows very well that if she slapped me in the face, she might accidentally kill me - and why does she need a dead fan? So he doesn't hurt me, but gently caresses my cheek with his voice. And it works much better - at least for me!
I am happy you found my reaction both informative and entertaining! 😊 I truly enjoyed making this too. Floor is so captivating. ❤️ Hahah- you are silly Marek!
That was great Anna!!! The song, your reaction, absolutely perfect!!! I totally agree with you about your idea about the bond theme!!! Loved it!!! Best wishes from Germany!!!
Hello Anna, very nice reaction again. In the same show she also does a duet with Tim Akkerman of this song, you really should take a look at that one too. It rocks.. As another suggestion for a reaction video I would love to see your reaction on Queen with “love of my life” live in Montreal 1981. One of my all time favorites.
You are correct about the autotune it was actually interfering in the perfection of the voice of both Floor and Henk Poort. Henk is a professional Opera singer and didn't need autotune either. Why on earth can't they switch it off for singers that don't need it. You should check out Floor and Henk singing Phantom of the Opera and Floor singing Vilja Lied for Henk, both on this show. This show was where they met, he was one of her childhood hero's being the Dutch Phantom, they have become friends and Henk has been on her solo tour of The Netherlands before lockdown. They have also done a cover of Dangerous Game from the Jekyll and Hyde musical. You can find that on her TH-cam channel (Floor Jansen).
It is such a shame that the production team feels the need to "polish" their performances. The results always ends up cutting away the life and soul from the singer's voice. What a cute love story they have. ❤️ I'll check their Jekyll and Hyde for sure! xx
Thänks Anna! Tää oli hienoa analytiikkaa taas, en pitkään aikaan ollutkaan katsellut näitä Beste Zangersin klippejä. Tunteisiin uiva veto... Otappa tuolta myös se Floorin ja Henkin versio Phantomista käsittelyyn. Ja Nightwishilta vaikkapa Yours is an Empty Hope, niin saadaan Flooriltakin vähän growlia kuunteluun... 😎
The weird thing is, Floor doesn't need Autotune at all. If all vocalists were on pitch like her, that wouldn't even exist. Testament to that is, that you can only hear autotune at all here, when she does a slide. ;)
Listening to the part Anna mentioned over and over again, I can still hardly hear it. Not really robotic to me at all compared to some other auto-tune.
I 100% agree she does not need autotune. 😊 Yes, it is good to be able to sing at as masterful level as she does, but to polish it even more from that just takes the life and soul out of the performance don't you think?
@@annavaskelainen Autotune is like Photoshop. The singing just isn't real anymore. Vocals don't need to be perfect. They need to be beautiful and genuine. If a singer doesn't grab you live, without Autotune, if her/she is off pitch a lot, he/she has nothing to do on a stage. And if a vocalist does only sound good in studio stuff, he/she doesn't deserve a record deal because he/she just is not good.
Oh...It ended right in the middle of typing my next comment. I never realized that artists plan so much detail into every phrase and note. Also, I wonder if Diana Ankudinova will ever use auto- tune and will anyone know it? Thanks for the visit Anna, It was nice to see you.
Nicoo! ❤️ I am sorry it took so long for me to answer to this! Artists of this level will plan a lot of the smallest nuances in their performances! There are different levels to auto-tune, so sometimes it is hard to know if the singer is using it. Diana sure does not need it though! Be well Nico xx
@@annavaskelainen Don't worry about how long it takes for you to reply (if at all), I just like watching & hearing ehat you have to say. I really do learn about vocals from you. NO! Diana does not need any help from electronics but I fear Brandon Stone is playing with her vocals a little to much... So, when is YOUR next song & video coming out?
I'm not a metal fan but floor always sounds amazing, 🙄👍 whatever she sings is beautiful.😏 Also, Anna, 🎤your voice is so good.🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍 Thanks. Great video.
Hi Anna, I found you last night reacting to “Ava Maria”, with Floor & Marko, & loved your reaction. I am an American, & Floor Jansen fan, & have gotten very nerdy about the reactions I like, I didn’t even know I was this technically interested, not being a singer, although always enjoyed singing in my younger years. Anyway, I believe Floor owns “ Shallow” now. Sorry Lady Gaga. Not sure if you saw this show, but she chose this song to sing to the young woman in red; why they keep showing her. Later into the series she sings it again, more in align with Gaga’s version with Tim Akkerman. Would love to hear your opinion on that one. She also did Phantom of the Opera, with Henke Porte, & Mama, also a very different presentation for her. Would love to hear your thoughts on these. I enjoyed this, & “Fire”, that I listened to before this. I see the hearts, & it seems it is only recently both Finland, & Netherlands have gotten on board seriously with Floor, & NW, very mysterious to me, as a old rocker girl! 😉
FINALLY........so glad you got to this, and I enjoyed your analysis, she always tries to put her touches to covers with out damaging them, I so enjoy Floor, she has brought out so many emotions in me with NW and Beste Zangers, and her covers, I think she could sing the phone book and it would be wonderful. I do enjoy listening to Lady GaGa, but for me Floor wins with the delicate singing of this........more Floor please, maybe a little HaleStorm.......thx so much
@@annavaskelainen she is one of the few singers I have listened too that has stirred the emotions in me, be it preparing for battle, or getting the tears to flow, or to do an Irish jig, she does it. She is such a perfect fit for NightWish. Her release of Euphoria for Beste Zangers Eurovision, and a duet with Hank Port of Dangerous Game were also pretty good. More please.....lol
Loved your review of Floor singing shallow. What amazes me about Floor is that she makes whatever song she is covering her own. She does covers with her own style, tempo, storytelling, and emotion. She never ceases to amaze me! I also very much enjoyed your vocal coach commentary and review of her performance. You mentioned suggestions for other vocalists to review. How about Courtney LaPlante from the group Spiritbox? Here's a link to a great song of hers that would be a good one to review: th-cam.com/video/3VcTYyuGrgM/w-d-xo.html The song is called "Secret Garden"
Thank you! I loved doing this reaction (if it wasn't obvious already). 😊 Happy to hear you liked my reaction and analysis. 🙏 I agree- she really made the song her own. Spiritbox is in my list, will react to them in the near future! xx
Nice reaction and break down. You should really react to. 'How's the Heart' acoustic.. it is beautiful and she shows such restraint and power, what control she has.
A few months ago, early in the morning on my way to work, I selected a radio station and a man's voice was singing "... shaahallow ..." and a woman was trying to reach and fill in the notes. In my thoughts I started to support her: more expression with more subtleties, more power with ease, ... just more like Floor. Hmm .. which band I know would put this cover version on the radio, I know the female voice ... Lady Gaga ... the coffee has started to work ... that's the original! ... I'm so used to Floors Version!
All about Floor I liked before watching, my friend) Thanks for this reaction, Anya. Floor is the greatest singer of our time, IMO. She really can sing everything. There's too many edges of voice. Want to hear how she growls - check Nightwish - Yours is an empty hope. Want to hear her opera stuff - Nightwish 'Shoemaker'. One of the most emotional performance - The Poet and the Pendulum live. Her wonderful endurance - any full concert video, live at Tampere for exmpl. Also I recommend you to check her singing 'Winner' on this show. And the story behind this song. I cried, will you?) P. S. Mb we'll got two reaction videos per week once?))
Hi Boris how are you? 😊 Good to know you liked this one- I had a hunch you would. 😉 I should make a new NW reaction. There is just so many great pieces to choose from, Damnit! 😂 I think that is a positive problem though hah! I'd love to do at least two vids per week! It is just the lack of time man. I am doing teaching mainly and that takes a huge chunk of my time. I'll do some "special" weeks in the future where I'll do videos more often I promise. 😉
@@annavaskelainen I don't mean that you should make a NW reaction video) It's some advises for you. All my life I loved a superheavy stuff like your countrymans Children of Bodom for ex. till one day I found a Nightwish video with Floor and fell in love) But it doesn't mean that I liked only NW reactions. You're doing a great and professional job. Thank you! See you next week)
Ei hitto! Tätä kyllä odotan. Floor Jansen on upea artisti, joka vangitsee pelkällä olemuksellaan. En aikaisemmin kauheasti välittänyt metallimusiikista, mutta tämän naisen lauluääni teki lähtemättömän vaikutuksen ja sai ylipäätään kiinnostumaan laulutekniikoista.
I have seen this performance by Floor several times, and this is also subject of several reaction video's, as she shows in this song what she is capable of (however in Phantom of the opera, together with opera singer Henk Poort, also from the same season of Beste Zangers, she shows even more, the tent almost collapsed because there was a thunderstorm outside that was an extra touch to their performance). Loads of people are astounded by what Floor can do, because this is their first encounter with her. The first concert I was at, where Floor sang (with After Forever) is over 20 years ago, so I already knew her capabilities, however, I am still touched by this song every time. So now I am curious to see what you think of it, let's watch your reaction now.
So, now I have seen the whole video, I can say that you got the point of the song as intended by Floor (like Wasna troef also said). Start very small, and let the chorus flow out naturally. Still the band didn't fill in all the details but let Floor's voice do the job. I prefer this version over the Lady gaga version, as Floor sings so easily, seems effortless, where Lady Gaga is at the top of what she can do. There is also a version from the same show where she sings Shallow as a duet with Tim Akkerman, like the original. Actually that whole season was a killer, so many good performances, like Emma Heestermans who rose to fame after that season.
@@annavaskelainen Here is another song from Beste zangers. Maria Fiselier is an opera singer and here she goes rapping Eminem, she didn't miss one word. th-cam.com/video/8YyuIkVSx-8/w-d-xo.html
Violet just did another collab with Halocene: t.A.T.u. All the things she said! th-cam.com/video/5qUaX6UIdUs/w-d-xo.html Good one to react to? Also another collab on Halocene's channel (Metallica), gonna check that out right now ☺️. (More Floor is of course always nice)
That sigh you heard may be that I believe (other say I'm wrong, I don't) Is that she sings GIRL instead of BOY in the second verse. You can see her own reaction right after she sings it.
@@annavaskelainen that's true. One can absolutely say that she did sing it right since she had no duet partner. It works both ways due to how the lyrics are written. It's just the way she reacted herself and that small sigh she made, that at least makes me believe that she sang "wrong". And it looks so cute when she does it. Our Valkyrie Queen could sing the manual to a vacuum cleaner and people would still be in a trance. Hahaha. Oh and great reaction by the way. There is another version of this song from the same show where Floor sings a duet with Tim Akkerman. Also an amazing version.
@@AndyMagnusson70 I can see it of course, but the show was about the singers singing specifically to one person each week. I think it would be really weird if Floor had addressed Emma as "boy". Also I didn't interpret Floor's reaction as "oops, I made a mistak" but rather as reaction to the question "Aren't you tired....". But thats just my opinion of course.
Dear Anna I love your thoughtful, well chosen reactions. May I suggest you react to SoHyang. The two songs I would most enjoy you adding your insights to are "Bridge over troubled water," and "Everyone." Sincerely, Ruben
maybe you can react to ישראל 4 The Voice: ספיר עמר - Alive which is a the voice perf of Israel or also this one is great, the first singer still ישראל 4 The Voice: ספיר עמר - Feeling good\נוי בן שבת - Lost on you
Kiitos kauniista reaktiosta! Fiilistelin mukana. Itse kuulin tämän kappaleen ennen Gagan versiota, joten siinä mielessä itselle alkuperäinen. Pidän Floorin maanläheisestä lähestymistavasta. Tuntuu, että tämä kappale on tarkoitettu nimenomaa pienelle yleisölle, vaikka upea kappale onkin. En nyt tähän hätään ehdota uusia kappaleita, vaan pitäydyn vanhassa :D Se Diana Damraun Yön kuningattaren aaria th-cam.com/video/YuBeBjqKSGQ/w-d-xo.html Kenties joskus :)
Hi Anna. Did you ever react to Floor, & one of the guys doing Shallow much as Gaga's version, a few weeks later on this same show? Would be interested in your take between that one, & Gag!'s. A lot more belting in that one. Think the guy was Tim Akkermann. Sorry it's been awhile.
Floor loves to save the most powerful belts for the last part. Therefore if Floor participates in Ayreon metal songs where multiple top vocalists appear in the song, she is often one of the last coming in. Except for the Valley of the Queens where she sings in a trio. Just search Floor Jansen and Ayreon.
Listening to you speak brings fond memories of my youth. Also, you have the best breakdowns of these performances. Please add Caro Emerald to your list to check out.
@@annavaskelainen the summer I was 11, my parent’s friend came to stay while they were traveling. She was from Finland and I had the usual boyhood crush.
Anna, let's not leave you out of that beautiful list! I think I prefer Floors cover, maybe it's just because I've just heard it more? I do have a suggestion, Mike Mills from Toehider. I think he will give your analysis a run for its money. I believe that I saw you did Ayreon "The Day That the World Breaks Down ", he's the singer that did the "101100" sequence. His own writing is also different, but in the rock sense. Stay safe Anna and happy, you have a beautiful smile.
Are you familiar with material of Kelly Sweet? A little less known singer. Maybe some of her cover songs would be easy to digest: Now We Are Free Dream On
Hi Anna, in your video I would recommend to comment both versions of Shallow, Floor's solo version as well as her duo version with Tim Akkerman, same show of Beste Zangers 2019, although other episode. It would be appreciated comparing the duo version also versus the original version of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Not as goal to check which one is better, but to examine the different used styles and vocal techniques. Looking forward to the clear reactions in your video as always and thanks in advance.
Hi Anna, have you heard of Marcelito Pomoy before? He practically mimic a duet of Celine Dion and Andrea Bocheli titled "The prayer"... Check him out...
5:07 Don't worry, any living being on this planet with functioning ears turns into a Floor fan girl upon hearing her sing. It's simple laws of nature really.
@@annavaskelainen I believe I know what you mean. This song, by it's soft nature, kind of reaches out to the listener. Love your critique and break-down. Very easy for a non-professional to follow along. Btw, I could listen to you talk all day. The Finnish language is so beautiful to my ear. Great channel. Cheers from the US
@@naatti21 i have seen so many reactions of singers and vocal coaches about floors singing and they all come to the conclusion that she is fabuleus. I ques you are to but finnish is a nice lagues to lissen to my dutch dialect also is eanters spoken in a little Village in Holland some time faces say more then words and yours is beautyfull keep on the good work
Starts off so fragile, almost faltering... The way she explores, adds careful tweaks to make it in her own style. Oh, I'm picking up some Finnish words, kiitos ;-)
What could be better than this? My favorite Finnish reactor doing a reaction to a song by my favorite female vocalist who is the lead singer for a Finnish symphonic metal band!!! Sometimes the planets align and something wonderful happens. Thanks so much, Anna. Everyone was expecting her to metal it up, and she did it so laid back. It was beautiful, and shows off some elements of her voice that may get overlooked. Love from Mike in Chicago.

@@annavaskelainen GO!
Ladies and gentleman, you've just been blessed with two talented and beautiful artists!
@@annavaskelainen Hello Anna.
I see you've reacted to some Nightwish. Do you like symphonic metal? :)
I think you should react to Nightwish's heavier cousin EPICA. It's a Dutch sympho metal band with a gorgeous singer Simone Simons (she's also classically trained). Simone and Floor from Nightwish are friends and they've performed together. The founder of Epica, Mark Jansen was in a group called After Forever where Floor was a lead vocalist. So both Epica and Nightwish share some history.
Not sure what kind of music you like, but Epica is very diverse. Let's try "Universal Death Squad" th-cam.com/video/P_Ys_W7ySkM/w-d-xo.html
Epica is generally heavier than Nightwish, but this song should be OK. If you like it, we can try something heavier later :) Or perhaps some of their wonderful ballads?
@@cancelled_user Hi Kyle! This one almost slipped my radar because you didn't write a separate comment! 😊
EPICA is in my list! I have a broad taste in music so I am open to everything really. 😊
Thank you for your message, hope to see you around here in the comment section! xx
@@annavaskelainen Oh yeah, I'm glad you noticed it :) I thought when I reply by clicking on your name, it will highlight that "someone mentioned you" in the comment.
Seriously, do Epica ASAP please :) Do not wait...
I need to tell you Epica often use harsh male vocals (death metal growls and a little of black metal screams), but if you're a metalhead, you probably don't mind.
If you DO mind, then we should start with some songs that don't have harsh vocals.
The duality between Mark's harsh vocals and Simone's angelic soprano represent good and evil, light and darkness, etc. The concept originated in gothic metal where it's called "beauty and the beast". So, are you OK with growls? Some Epica songs have more of it, some only have literally 20 seconds and some don't have it at all. If you tell me what you prefer I can tailor my suggestions for you better ;)
Oh no, we have lost this girl from Finland to Floor 😍😍😍
Inevitable, Freya needs more Valkyries.
Love all the songs she sang on 'Beste Zangers' (best singers). Her performances in this tv show finally made her popular in the Netherlands too. Many people had never heard of her before. You just don't hear metal on mainstream radio here. Unfortunately. But people know of her now, for sure. Because of the success of this show, she got to do a solo tour in the Netherlands. It sold out within hours. She performed songs from the tv show, but also from Nightwish and her past bands After Forever and Revamp. I saw one of these shows just before Covid hit. She still has to do the final show in Amsterdam, which will be filmed, so everyone can enjoy it. 💜
I'm glad to know she managed to break through with this one! It is a great "gate drug" to Floor. 😉
I wish I could see that Final Amtredam show live! 💜
@@annavaskelainen The show will be recorded professionally and published on TH-cam. Floor did a crowdfunding to make this happen, because many people were complaining that she only did this tour in the Netherlands.

Floor Jansen is not just an astounding vocalist but a force of nature.
well said there.
The show -Beste Zangers is an absolutely awesome concept.
It's so great to have Dutch Musicians get a chance to meet their fellow Dutch entertainers.
The musicians are from different music genres, different walks of life & with different skills & strengths to bring to the show. It's truly a great concept & I'm so happy for The Beste Zangers' Band & for Floor, Henk, NW for everything that's happened since Floor's appearance in 2019.
What a well considered reaction. Floor sings every song how she thinks is most suitable. Her empathy is without measure. There are no mediocre performances on her TH-cam channel and she appears to be a beautiful soul.
Thank you Clive! 😊 Floor truly is an ARTIST.
Floor explained in the show that the whole idea was to keep the song "small", the song is building up naturally, and the challenge was to keep it small & very fragile, where the initial expectation of the audience was that she would belt it out
Yep. She also said it was partly an idea from that show great band.
@@luisendymion9080 yeah Floor really liked the studio band -- for a good reason too, it's good! -- to the point to asking this band if they would tour with her.
@@IdiotPosterBoy I thought the band looked familiar.
That's so Cool that the Band from Beste Zangers is touring along with Floor, Henk, and NW etc.
It's somehow a form of torture, to wait 7 days for your reaction to "Shallow" with Floor ... but I'm convinced it's worth the wait.
:)
Aww Gabe.❤️ Would Thursday premiere be any better? xx
@@annavaskelainen Certainly it was worth the wait :)
I remember that when Floor performed this cover in 2019, she took everyone by surprise with her approach, including Nightwish fans. Obviously, I prefer this version, because the emotional impact is major, compared to the initial version. I have a lump in my throat every time I listen to it, for 2 years now. The way Floor conveys the message is subtle, delicate and efficient at the same time. You're listening, and you don't know what hit you.
@@gabriel.bardac Hi Gabriel. It sounded just as good when she did this live during het solo tour. People were all listening quietly, mesmerized, loving it.
@@martine3293 This is the hallmark of great vocalists, the fact that they maintain a constant quality of performance, regardless of external conditions. I look forward to the promised concert, which will be professionally recorded and broadcast online. I've been waiting for it for a year and a half already.. :)
@@gabriel.bardac I couldn't agree more. Fortunately there is a lot to look forward to 😄
Greetings from my holiday spot in the Swiss Alps.
Floor is a great singer💕
What she sings is always AMAZING💕You can hear this all day long.
I ❤️ Love Floor🥰
OUR QUEEN👸👑
Thank You so much 😍
Love from the Netherlands
🇳🇱 🌷 🇳🇱 🙋🏼♀️ 😘
hehe what a cute comment!💕
I am sorry I showed up late, but I want to thank you for your detailed reaction, very nice. I had to wait for the CC to show up for me, but was worth the wait, loved hearing your response. Floor's version is best to me, but I will admit my bias. To me she is the perfect singer, to my ear, none come close, and I have listened to many many talented singers in my 53 years Floor turns me to Jello. Ty again
No worries Allen- better late than never! I am pretty late myself catching up with all the messages haha. 😂 Good to know you eventually got the CC! Floor really touches me too. Be well Allen! xx
I love how Rolff just sits there, dumbfounded, like "How the hell is she so good?!"
Agreed, dude. Agreed.
hahaha I totally relate to Rolff
Love it when you speak with fffrrrryyyy :D Good reaction, insightful.
hehehe 😊 got to have a little fun with it, right?
@@annavaskelainen Right! :D
Damn Anna you're the first reactor I know who mentioned Autotune and I watched a lot of them. Great job o_O
P.S looking gorgeous as always ❤️
Glad to point out something new! Thank you! 🎵😊❤️
An absolutely exquisite rendition and so beautiful to witness such a magnificent artist ! Floor is truly a captivating and passionate singer ! She captured my heart and grabbed my soul completely with this performance ! Thank you Anna , I'm just getting into all your reactions/analysis of Floor ! She's got me following her journey now ! You always have the very best on your channel ! Much love Anna ! God bless ! 👍🇨🇦❤️
I was super surprised she kept it so small, like most people 😁. Note that Tim Akkerman chose her for the duet episode, singing Shallow again. Also a very nice version.
Yeahh me too! Oh he did? Well I am not surprised. 😉
We are so lucky with Floor, seen her live a few times, and she is so consistent as well. Born to sing
I really really hope to see Floor live one day! xx
@@annavaskelainen Get her to Finland and be a guest singer? 😁
@@CyberBeep_kenshi Oh in my wildest dreams haha!
It was fun watching this show and having Floor get up to sing and being asked by the young Dutch Reggaeton singer, Rolf Sanchez, "Are you going to do it in your own version, Floor?" With Floor answering, "Yes, but it may be the opposite of what you expect". Boy was it! :D Thanks for another awesome, incredibly detailed analysis video, Anna. I enjoyed seeing you as enraptured as I always am hearing it, and following your breakdown was a delight :)
hahaa she really surprised everyone with this didn't she! 😂
You are welcome, GL (what is your real name? 😊) I really enjoyed this performance,

Hope to see you in the live chat soon! xx
Love your videos! That's just another one to add to my favourites. I was waiting for it for a few days and now I had to be late lol. Life's just not fair. Plain and simple. Stay awesome and don't stop making these videos. \m/
Yayy! 😊 This comment made me so happy! Glad you could make it eventually and see you in the next live chat? 😉 xx
Isn't it amazing that when Floor does a cover of a song, more often than not, it's better than the original artist. An absolute talent.
Henk Poort and Floor is doing the Phantom of the Opera, Henk is doing a great Sound of Silence. . Floor sings opera, first show she sings Vilja song in german and Puccini's O Mio Babbino Caro in a other Dutch TV show and she sings from the GameCube game Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Sound of the Wind. Both on TH-cam ...
What i like most about watching your videos is contemplating your sensibilty and how yuou transmit it to all of us , you are a wonderfull woman and it s a pleasure to follow you
thank you for you kind message Carlos. ❤️
My two beautiful girls together, Anna and Floor. Outstanding vocal analysis as usual. You are a true professional. All my love. Nightwish Army U.S.
awww Sean! 😊 Happy to know you enjoyed this one. Me too if it wasn't obvious already hahah! ❤️🎵
Hi Anna, that's a good choice, you won't regret it..
We really enjoyed your reaction to this performance. You did not disappoint. So much fun when she surprises the listener and provides something different from what is assumed and expected. Such an amazing talent with the emotion to make every performance special. Well done and thank you. Stay safe.
Hi Ron and Joanne! Glad to know you guys enjoyed this one. 😊
I really enjoyed her take on this song as well. 🎵 Her stage presence is spotless.
Be well you two! xx
Floor approached this song so delicately. It really gave it a personal and intimate feeling. Loved your commentary lovely lady. Lady who? Floor owns this song now! Be well. Peace. 😊🙏🙏🙏💖
You are absolutely right.😊 What do you mean by lady who? You can see my full name on my channel. 😊 Yess she totally made the song her own. Be well Thorgrim! xx
@@annavaskelainen What was her name? Oh yeah, Lady Gaga! 😊🎭🙏🙏🙏
Wish version? Considering I've never listen to Lady Gaga perform the song and I've heard Floor sing it maybe a hundred times, I'll let you draw your own conclusions. This being the second performance I'd heard her do (the duet with Henk being the first) it made me an instant fan for life. In fact she did several songs I found moving, from Vilja Lied to the weepy What Do I Know About Love. Excellent deconstruction Anna.
I can totally understand why this performance would make you a fan of hers! 😊
Thank you for popping in and dropping me a comment. xx
OMG that was fantastic.
Which version do i prefer? This one of course :) Floor sings it ;)
Good to see you again. I know, i didn't show up for a while, so it is on me. Still.
CHRIS! ❤️ Glad to see you here in the comments again! 😊
I kind of had a hunch of your answer to that question. 😉
Kuinka suomen kielen opiskelusi sujuvat? xx
What a lovely reaction? So here is a new fanboy born to your reactions, I‘ve been a fanboy to Floor since I heard this performance. She is so smart in her musical choices. I think you understand her technique a lot better, but the feeling could be similar.
Your engagement in your reactions is really something. I can't understand a word you say, but your face says it all. You're really engrossed in what you're watching. Plus, you're really cute :-). I hope the best for you you.
Subs are available, just click them on! 😊 Thx for the lovely feedback and I really hope you stay to see more!
Have a great week Fred! xx
I really enjoyed your breakdown of Floor’s cover….thank you for the subtitles. I prefer Floor’s rendition…as a listener, any song that can brings out emotions …well…it’s nice!
You are welcome! 😊 I love to hear the raw emotions too. If the performance is too "polished" and technical, it looses it's life and soul.
You told us to wait a long time Anna! But it was worth it - a very nice reaction - analytical and emotional at the same time. Bradley and Lady Gaga made me know this song - and I liked it. But it was Floor that made me love this song and its version. Lady Gaga hits me in the face with her voice - and it works, it works very well. What is Floor doing? Well - Floor knows very well that if she slapped me in the face, she might accidentally kill me - and why does she need a dead fan?
So he doesn't hurt me, but gently caresses my cheek with his voice. And it works much better - at least for me!
I am happy you found my reaction both informative and entertaining! 😊
I truly enjoyed making this too. Floor is so captivating. ❤️
Hahah- you are silly Marek!
Anna great job with your reaction and analysis of Floor Jansen singing Shallow from Lady Gaga . it's one of the best covers out there of this Song.
much agreed!
I love how you love this.
❤️
i dont know why, but every time Floor sings like this, my eyes are sweating, every f*cking time
Ok I gave myself a migraine ! I couldn’t decide whether to watch Floor or Anna 😍
awww hahaha ❤️
Goodness, I could have saved you that migraine with a simple piece of advice.
Just watch twice, one for each of them :p
@@RahimRahmat

That was great Anna!!! The song, your reaction, absolutely perfect!!! I totally agree with you about your idea about the bond theme!!! Loved it!!! Best wishes from Germany!!!
Yesss I'm glad you agree with me on the Bond-theme! ❤️ Greetings to Germany! xx
Fantastic review of floor, Jansen.
Floor Jansen masterclass and beyond.❤️
Aye!
Hello Anna, very nice reaction again. In the same show she also does a duet with Tim Akkerman of this song, you really should take a look at that one too. It rocks..
As another suggestion for a reaction video I would love to see your reaction on Queen with “love of my life” live in Montreal 1981. One of my all time favorites.
Jeroen! ❤️ I'll make sure to check that one out too and I'll put that Queen performance to my list. Be well! xx
As usual, great mix of commentary and appreciation. thx
Thank you very much! 😊
Floor!!
okay .. i have subscribed ... good one .. ! really enjoyed your comments on this song .. good stuff ..
Welcome to the gang Dan! Glad to have you with me! 🎵❤️
Need more happiness 💞
You are correct about the autotune it was actually interfering in the perfection of the voice of both Floor and Henk Poort. Henk is a professional Opera singer and didn't need autotune either. Why on earth can't they switch it off for singers that don't need it. You should check out Floor and Henk singing Phantom of the Opera and Floor singing Vilja Lied for Henk, both on this show. This show was where they met, he was one of her childhood hero's being the Dutch Phantom, they have become friends and Henk has been on her solo tour of The Netherlands before lockdown. They have also done a cover of Dangerous Game from the Jekyll and Hyde musical. You can find that on her TH-cam channel (Floor Jansen).
It is such a shame that the production team feels the need to "polish" their performances. The results always ends up cutting away the life and soul from the singer's voice.
What a cute love story they have. ❤️
I'll check their Jekyll and Hyde for sure! xx
Thänks Anna! Tää oli hienoa analytiikkaa taas, en pitkään aikaan ollutkaan katsellut näitä Beste Zangersin klippejä. Tunteisiin uiva veto... Otappa tuolta myös se Floorin ja Henkin versio Phantomista käsittelyyn. Ja Nightwishilta vaikkapa Yours is an Empty Hope, niin saadaan Flooriltakin vähän growlia kuunteluun... 😎
Thänks for thänking! 😊 Flooria ja Henkkiä on listalla. 😉
A famous vocal coach, an American, said that Floor is better than Gaga.
Totally agree with that comment.
Hail the Goddess 😎😁🤩
The weird thing is, Floor doesn't need Autotune at all. If all vocalists were on pitch like her, that wouldn't even exist. Testament to that is, that you can only hear autotune at all here, when she does a slide. ;)
Listening to the part Anna mentioned over and over again, I can still hardly hear it. Not really robotic to me at all compared to some other auto-tune.
Most likely due to low sampling of video audio compression ...
I 100% agree she does not need autotune. 😊 Yes, it is good to be able to sing at as masterful level as she does, but to polish it even more from that just takes the life and soul out of the performance don't you think?
the level of autotune can be adjusted a lot! Some channels use it more than others.
@@annavaskelainen
Autotune is like Photoshop. The singing just isn't real anymore.
Vocals don't need to be perfect. They need to be beautiful and genuine. If a singer doesn't grab you live, without Autotune, if her/she is off pitch a lot, he/she has nothing to do on a stage. And if a vocalist does only sound good in studio stuff, he/she doesn't deserve a record deal because he/she just is not good.
Oh...It ended right in the middle of typing my next comment.
I never realized that artists
plan so much detail into every phrase and note.
Also, I wonder if Diana Ankudinova will ever use auto-
tune and will anyone know it?
Thanks for the visit Anna,
It was nice to see you.
Nicoo! ❤️ I am sorry it took so long for me to answer to this!
Artists of this level will plan a lot of the smallest nuances in their performances!
There are different levels to auto-tune, so sometimes it is hard to know if the singer is using it.
Diana sure does not need it though! Be well Nico xx
@@annavaskelainen Don't worry about
how long it takes for you to
reply (if at all), I just like watching &
hearing ehat you have to say.
I really do learn about vocals from you.
NO! Diana does not need any help
from electronics but I fear Brandon
Stone is playing with her vocals
a little to much...
So, when is YOUR next song &
video coming out?

I'm not a metal fan but floor always sounds amazing, 🙄👍 whatever she sings is beautiful.😏 Also, Anna, 🎤your voice is so good.🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍 Thanks. Great video.
She is so captivating isn't she?! Thanks Brad! 😊 your comment made me smile from ear to ear. ❤️
Hi Anna, I found you last night reacting to “Ava Maria”, with Floor & Marko, & loved your reaction. I am an American, & Floor Jansen fan, & have gotten very nerdy about the reactions I like, I didn’t even know I was this technically interested, not being a singer, although always enjoyed singing in my younger years. Anyway, I believe Floor owns “ Shallow” now. Sorry Lady Gaga. Not sure if you saw this show, but she chose this song to sing to the young woman in red; why they keep showing her. Later into the series she sings it again, more in align with Gaga’s version with Tim Akkerman. Would love to hear your opinion on that one. She also did Phantom of the Opera, with Henke Porte, & Mama, also a very different presentation for her. Would love to hear your thoughts on these. I enjoyed this, & “Fire”, that I listened to before this. I see the hearts, & it seems it is only recently both Finland, & Netherlands have gotten on board seriously with Floor, & NW, very mysterious to me, as a old rocker girl! 😉
Adorable and knowledgeable. The frst ractor humming along (though briefly).
aww thank you. 😊 I couldn't help it! xx
@@annavaskelainen Thank you for your lovely reactions.
@@ohana_is_family
FINALLY........so glad you got to this, and I enjoyed your analysis, she always tries to put her touches to covers with out damaging them, I so enjoy Floor, she has brought out so many emotions in me with NW and Beste Zangers, and her covers, I think she could sing the phone book and it would be wonderful. I do enjoy listening to Lady GaGa, but for me Floor wins with the delicate singing of this........more Floor please, maybe a little HaleStorm.......thx so much
yayyy! 😊 I am so glad you enjoyed this one! Me too. 😉 Really like the fact how gentle she is here. xx
@@annavaskelainen she is one of the few singers I have listened too that has stirred the emotions in me, be it preparing for battle, or getting the tears to flow, or to do an Irish jig, she does it. She is such a perfect fit for NightWish. Her release of Euphoria for Beste Zangers Eurovision, and a duet with Hank Port of Dangerous Game were also pretty good. More please.....lol
@@annavaskelainen yeah, because we always expect the power,,,,,,lol lol
Loved your review of Floor singing shallow. What amazes me about Floor is that she makes whatever song she is covering her own. She does covers with her own style, tempo, storytelling, and emotion. She never ceases to amaze me! I also very much enjoyed your vocal coach commentary and review of her performance. You mentioned suggestions for other vocalists to review. How about Courtney LaPlante from the group Spiritbox? Here's a link to a great song of hers that would be a good one to review: th-cam.com/video/3VcTYyuGrgM/w-d-xo.html
The song is called "Secret Garden"
Thank you! I loved doing this reaction (if it wasn't obvious already). 😊 Happy to hear you liked my reaction and analysis. 🙏
I agree- she really made the song her own.
Spiritbox is in my list, will react to them in the near future! xx
Floors version, the "feelings" she exudes are what sends it to my soul..
Yessss 😍
Nice reaction and break down. You should really react to. 'How's the Heart' acoustic.. it is beautiful and she shows such restraint and power, what control she has.
Thank you! 😊 I'll add your suggestion to my list! xx
A few months ago, early in the morning on my way to work, I selected a radio station and a man's voice was singing "... shaahallow ..." and a woman was trying to reach and fill in the notes. In my thoughts I started to support her: more expression with more subtleties, more power with ease, ... just more like Floor. Hmm .. which band I know would put this cover version on the radio, I know the female voice ... Lady Gaga ... the coffee has started to work ... that's the original! ... I'm so used to Floors Version!
hahaha!
All about Floor I liked before watching, my friend)
Thanks for this reaction, Anya. Floor is the greatest singer of our time, IMO. She really can sing everything. There's too many edges of voice.
Want to hear how she growls - check Nightwish - Yours is an empty hope.
Want to hear her opera stuff - Nightwish 'Shoemaker'.
One of the most emotional performance - The Poet and the Pendulum live.
Her wonderful endurance - any full concert video, live at Tampere for exmpl.
Also I recommend you to check her singing 'Winner' on this show. And the story behind this song. I cried, will you?)
P. S. Mb we'll got two reaction videos per week once?))
Hi Boris how are you? 😊 Good to know you liked this one- I had a hunch you would. 😉
I should make a new NW reaction. There is just so many great pieces to choose from, Damnit! 😂
I think that is a positive problem though hah!
I'd love to do at least two vids per week! It is just the lack of time man. I am doing teaching mainly and that takes a huge chunk of my time. I'll do some "special" weeks in the future where I'll do videos more often I promise. 😉
@@annavaskelainen I don't mean that you should make a NW reaction video)
It's some advises for you.
All my life I loved a superheavy stuff like your countrymans Children of Bodom for ex. till one day I found a Nightwish video with Floor and fell in love)
But it doesn't mean that I liked only NW reactions. You're doing a great and professional job. Thank you!
See you next week)
@@boriss7690 it's a good thing to have a broad taste in music. 😊
Ei hitto! Tätä kyllä odotan. Floor Jansen on upea artisti, joka vangitsee pelkällä olemuksellaan. En aikaisemmin kauheasti välittänyt metallimusiikista, mutta tämän naisen lauluääni teki lähtemättömän vaikutuksen ja sai ylipäätään kiinnostumaan laulutekniikoista.
Oooh jee herkkua luvassa siis! Mustakin on kyllä kehkeytymässä kunnon Floor-fanityttö hih. ^^
Kyllä. Sama täällä, tie metallimusiikkifaniksi lähti nimenomaan laulajien taidokkaista laulutekniikoista!
I have seen this performance by Floor several times, and this is also subject of several reaction video's, as she shows in this song what she is capable of (however in Phantom of the opera, together with opera singer Henk Poort, also from the same season of Beste Zangers, she shows even more, the tent almost collapsed because there was a thunderstorm outside that was an extra touch to their performance). Loads of people are astounded by what Floor can do, because this is their first encounter with her. The first concert I was at, where Floor sang (with After Forever) is over 20 years ago, so I already knew her capabilities, however, I am still touched by this song every time. So now I am curious to see what you think of it, let's watch your reaction now.
So, now I have seen the whole video, I can say that you got the point of the song as intended by Floor (like Wasna troef also said). Start very small, and let the chorus flow out naturally. Still the band didn't fill in all the details but let Floor's voice do the job.
I prefer this version over the Lady gaga version, as Floor sings so easily, seems effortless, where Lady Gaga is at the top of what she can do.
There is also a version from the same show where she sings Shallow as a duet with Tim Akkerman, like the original.
Actually that whole season was a killer, so many good performances, like Emma Heestermans who rose to fame after that season.
Hi Casper! I'm glad to know you enjoyed this one! Floor truly made the song her own.😊🙏
@@annavaskelainen Here is another song from Beste zangers. Maria Fiselier is an opera singer and here she goes rapping Eminem, she didn't miss one word.

I'll add these to my list straightaway B! xx
I like Floortje best but I'm a big fan of hers.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hope that you want to do more reactions from Floor @Beste Zangers. And Emma Heesters sang a song from Floor there(strong) that one is soo emotional!
That sigh you heard may be that I believe (other say I'm wrong, I don't) Is that she sings GIRL instead of BOY in the second verse. You can see her own reaction right after she sings it.
Excellent point! I thought about that too briefly but then again she doesn't have a duo partner so why would she change the sex?
@@annavaskelainen that's true. One can absolutely say that she did sing it right since she had no duet partner. It works both ways due to how the lyrics are written. It's just the way she reacted herself and that small sigh she made, that at least makes me believe that she sang "wrong". And it looks so cute when she does it. Our Valkyrie Queen could sing the manual to a vacuum cleaner and people would still be in a trance. Hahaha. Oh and great reaction by the way.
There is another version of this song from the same show where Floor sings a duet with Tim Akkerman. Also an amazing version.
She sang the song to/for Emma Heesters (the girl in the red dress). That's why it was "girl" both times.
@@alexanderemmert382 doesn't anybody see how Floor reacts when she sings girl?
@@AndyMagnusson70 I can see it of course, but the show was about the singers singing specifically to one person each week. I think it would be really weird if Floor had addressed Emma as "boy". Also I didn't interpret Floor's reaction as "oops, I made a mistak" but rather as reaction to the question "Aren't you tired....". But thats just my opinion of course.
Dear Anna
I love your thoughtful, well chosen reactions. May I suggest you react to SoHyang. The two songs I would most enjoy you adding your insights to are "Bridge over troubled water," and "Everyone."
Sincerely, Ruben
maybe you can react to ישראל 4 The Voice: ספיר עמר - Alive
which is a the voice perf of Israel or also this one is great, the first singer still ישראל 4 The Voice: ספיר עמר - Feeling good\נוי בן שבת - Lost on you
Kiitos kauniista reaktiosta! Fiilistelin mukana. Itse kuulin tämän kappaleen ennen Gagan versiota, joten siinä mielessä itselle alkuperäinen. Pidän Floorin maanläheisestä lähestymistavasta. Tuntuu, että tämä kappale on tarkoitettu nimenomaa pienelle yleisölle, vaikka upea kappale onkin. En nyt tähän hätään ehdota uusia kappaleita, vaan pitäydyn vanhassa :D Se Diana Damraun Yön kuningattaren aaria th-cam.com/video/YuBeBjqKSGQ/w-d-xo.html Kenties joskus :)
Kiiiitos! 😊 Jep, tämä on tosi intiimi veto. Listalla on- do not worry. 😉
@@annavaskelainen no olenko pikkaisen malttamaton? Kiitos! Olet kyllä paras.
Hi Anna. Did you ever react to Floor, & one of the guys doing Shallow much as Gaga's version, a few weeks later on this same show? Would be interested in your take between that one, & Gag!'s. A lot more belting in that one. Think the guy was Tim Akkermann. Sorry it's been awhile.
Floor loves to save the most powerful belts for the last part. Therefore if Floor participates in Ayreon metal songs where multiple top vocalists appear in the song, she is often one of the last coming in. Except for the Valley of the Queens where she sings in a trio. Just search Floor Jansen and Ayreon.
It's a good tactic! 😊
Listening to you speak brings fond memories of my youth. Also, you have the best breakdowns of these performances. Please add Caro Emerald to your list to check out.
Fond memories? 😊
I am very happy to hear that you find my videos informative, thank you for your kind words Vic!😊

@@victorcachat7984 oh okay I see! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Anna, let's not leave you out of that beautiful list! I think I prefer Floors cover, maybe it's just because I've just heard it more? I do have a suggestion, Mike Mills from Toehider. I think he will give your analysis a run for its money. I believe that I saw you did Ayreon "The Day That the World Breaks Down ", he's the singer that did the "101100" sequence. His own writing is also different, but in the rock sense. Stay safe Anna and happy, you have a beautiful smile.

Gaga gave me chills. Floor Gave me chills, goosebumps, and tears, even now, after hearing this version after more than a hundred times.

Hi Anna, in your video I would recommend to comment both versions of Shallow, Floor's solo version as well as her duo version with Tim Akkerman, same show of Beste Zangers 2019, although other episode. It would be appreciated comparing the duo version also versus the original version of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Not as goal to check which one is better, but to examine the different used styles and vocal techniques. Looking forward to the clear reactions in your video as always and thanks in advance.
Tim's start in the duo also "floored" me. While playing the guitar. And he performed in 3 duos that day. Take a bow Tim ;)
Hi Anna, have you heard of Marcelito Pomoy before?
He practically mimic a duet of Celine Dion and Andrea Bocheli titled "The prayer"...
Check him out...

@@annavaskelainen recommendation: from Tuomas' solo work: A Lifetime of Adventure. Beautiful music and great singing (incredible album as well).
