Toen ik dit nummer voor de eerste keer hoorde kreeg ik eerst kippenvel en bij het laatste deel ook tranen. Wat een stem wat een techniek en wat een geweldig nummer is dit.
Agreed. This is lovely. The original Tarja version is very good but her voice is a bit piercing on the high notes. This is absolutely gorgeous, especially on the high notes
There also was Dutch television, the tv program "Klasgenoten" (Classmates) at the concert. Floor met her classmates from The Rock Academy again. When she watched the interview with her parents at the show, she was crying, really moved by the love and pride of her parents. They talked about Floor having a burn-out when her band After Forever stopped. She was just recovering when Nightwish called her if she could fill in for Anette. It was like a dream coming true for Floor, and well, the rest is history.
tarja fans, floor does not always go operatic simply because she was not hired by tuomass to replicate tarja's vocals. She goes operatic when the song absolutely calls for it or when wants to put her own twist to a song. (examples stargazers, kinslayer). The versatility she brings to the band should honestly be more appreciated. In documentary, floor stated that Sleeping Sun was one her favorites and she has been pushing to perform it live.
Muy cierto pero esos fanáticos no son seguidores de Nightwish sino de Tarja. Ahora ellos que me digan que exito a cosechado Turunen en solitario y porque en sus conciertos toca temas de Nightwish al contrario de Annette Olzon que prometio nunca mas cantar temas de Nightwish y cumple su promesa. Hay dejo eso...
@@retornodelsilencio9420 Totalmente de acuerdo. Que cante temas de Nightwish no es un problema para mí (hablo de Annette), pero hay que reconocer que Floor supera con creces a Tarja y por supuesto a Annette. Ahora, yo le reconozco su talento a Tarja, también tiene una presencia en el escenario, muy poderosa, pero sin duda por ella sola, sin las composiciones de Tuomas, el nivel ha bajado mucho y se nota. Un grupo es un equipo, cantar bien no es suficiente, la música es muy importante, el resto debe seguir tras el canto. Las melodías, el crescendo, etc. Es un conjunto.
Plenty of them. I can list a lot of them just by listening to how she butcher the Tarja era songs with her own belting and tone changes (which messes up the songs) to trying to "improve" the Anette era songs with her own "takes", which falls flat for the most part. So no thank you.
As a music student myself I can assure you that our so called experience means absolutely nothing when it comes to personal taste, even professionals state their opinions based on their personal taste and that's 100% valid. I can say that I think Tarja's deep and dark voice fits a lot better to the ancient atmosphere of the original song, but that's MY personal taste which is not going to change just because some TH-camr who's also a vocal coach doesn't share my opinion. And I don't think it's fair for anyone to diminish anyone's work in order to make the other look better as most people will keep doing for a long as Nightwish exists.
@@abstracting6411 You can be fan of Tarja and totally understand, see and hear how good Floor is , also Nightwish is a metal band because of Tarja, it had to be acoustic band in the beginning but they decided to do metal to support Tarjas bigger voice , also Tarja was the reason why soo many of us started to listen Nightwish in the first place, I have never been big fan of lineup changes, for me the bestb bands are the ones without any lineup changes, its totally normal to miss Tarja sometimes, she had also very magical stage presence and amazing operatic style of singing , its normal that many people feel sentimental
77Years on my back but i gona tell you i feel centuries younger after listen to this wonderfull und piece music. thank you for ever Peter from Switzerland
Got to know Nightwish this year (2022) and god what have I been missing? Hearing the live version makes me perfectly understand why there are so many Floor lovers.
When Tarja left I simply refused to listen to new Nightwish stuff. Until this week when I gave myself the chance to see Floor. So many wasted years... Have to catch up.
I was a singer/songwriter for many years, and can tell you factually that Sleeping Sun is an extremely difficult song to sing. The cadence, the pitch, the delivery and the emotion have to all come together using tremendous vocal control. Floor absolutely nails this. Love her.
Wow...I never thought anyone could come close to Tarja singing this song, but Floor nailed it in this performance. This was a song I always played for my late wife, Anne. One more for you, my love. Listen in the Great Mystery.
NW Fans...all must have heard by now that that Floor was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Prognosis is good, she goes in for surgery tomorrow. Those of us attending shows on the European tour, let's all wear pink to show Floor our love and support. .
I’ve watched this more times than I can count, and I’ve never thought to leave a comment before, but I just wanted to say that this performance has been a comfort to me for about four years now. I know you’ll never see this but I hope you know just how many hearts you’ve touched with your voice. Thank you, genuinely.
All three singers are amazing. But perfomance wise, floor is by far number 1. Her Perfect picth and stage presence are just wow. She tells story while singing.
I have the bravery to say it, FLOOR IS THE BEST SINGER that nightwish has seen. She is the swiss army knife of singers, she can sing so many different styles, and does it with perfection. Hate all you want, i dont care, IMO she is the the PERFECT singer for this excellent band and its genius composer.
She is the best,but for me tarja is nightwish..if u follow from first u will understand what i mean..its like terja is nightwish, ghost of nightwish..listen to tarja u ll know that is nightwish..
@@hafizsulaiman4014tarja got fired in 2005. That’s almost 20 years! At some point you have to let it go! I feel bad for you that you are still on here talking about it.
I’ll speak for myself. I’ve never felt so many emotions before listening to nightwish with Floor. I’ve seen them live twice with Floor, and all I could do was contemplate. It was like looking to a painting or a movie. In awe
@@hafizsulaiman4014 I started listening to NIghtwish in 2006 when I was just a lil girl. I loved Anette and I loved Tarja. Especially Ghost love score and Ever dream (Tarjas version). Then I stopped listening for a while, in 2013 I learned Anette was no longer in Nightwish and I was disappointed so I didn't listen to NW for a while. Then I heard a song with Floor. I've loved her ever since. Much more than Tarja or Anette. She's absolutely incredible. I'm not saying the previous singers are bad, not at all, but Floor is just a different league IMO. Tuomas couldn't have chosen a better singer. So yes, even people who've known Nightwish for ages like and, I dare to say, prefer Floor. It's been nearly two decades since Tarja has been gone. get over it. It's time to move on. If you want to listen to her music she has a successful solo career you can follow.
My mother passed away unexpectedly. She just died out of nowhere on some street in the winter. Heart attack. Right after that, I first heard this song. Though I’ve a fan for some years. She was the sun in our lives. Now every day is a battle against darkness. For how I wish to go down with the sun. It’s been five years now. It’s so hard to go on. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home
She is Dutch, but back in the viking days a large part of the Netherlands was Frisia (the coastline up to the south west of Denmark) Frisians trade with the vikings and even some of them went on board for their raides. I have to be carefull with this historical stuff because the rest of scandinavia are gonna use this LOL (If she have some Frisian blood, she is our sister)
I'm from the Netherlands and never heard of her until she joined a Dutch progam. (search for 'beste zangers' and watch Floor singing different types of songs). How on earth did I not know our best artist? She is AMAZING. ❤️
Same here...never heard of Floor or Nightwish. But did some research and I am embarrassed to say that somewhere along the way I must have seen Floor with After Forever at Dauwpop as well as Appelpop but didn't notice it 😱 probably thought it was just a lot of noise and screaming, being a soul-fan. But...after her performance at "beste zangers" I can honestly say she is truly amazing! She won me over....big time! Chapeau, Floor!
Leuk dat je door het programma in aanraking bent gekomen met de muziek van Nightwish. Ik vind het een verfrissend concept, omdat ik door het programma ook meer (h)erkenning heb gekregen voor Nederlandse artiesten waar ik doorgaans niet naar luister :).
Anne Sophie dit Nr was het eerste Nr wat ik van dr hoorde en was meteen verkocht ❤️ en nu ze eindelijk bekend is in Nederland vind ik echt geweldig voor Floor maar zeker ook voor Nightwish zulke mooie nrs hebben ze 😍net als Élan ook zo,n geweldig Nr en Floor is echt de beste zangeres ter wereld ........ vind ik tenminste
I just can't stop listening to this... Even my wife who doesn't like this kind of... musical perfection says Floor has one the best female voices ever.
When I watch this, I can´t help but think Floor has the best voice this world has ever heard. I´m sure there are vocalists with bigger ranges etc. but I´m talking about how beautiful her voice is. It is literally perfect and moves me every time I hear her. It doesn´t matter if it´s soft or heavy, spanish,dutch or english. Growling, belting or operatic. She is the definition of beauty in this world. She is divine and so down to earth at the same time. So grateful I clicked on Ghost love score at Wacken 2013. It was a real inflection point in my life. I just feel grateful and happy each day now.
@@MikkoRantalainen Thanks Mikko, I absolutely love Tarja too. Over the past year and 4 months since discovering Nightwish I have literally listened to Nightwish several hours everyday. I took a trip to Kitee and met Tuomas Holopainen and I told him how grateful I was that he changed my life with his music. Every single song and performance of Nightwish in the +25yr history is pure gold to me.
I think we're a new breed of fans. This is when grandparents are full fledge rockers. I'm 57 and I love Nightwish like mad. First heard of them in 2006 but only last year did I really really get into them. Love all three singers!
59 and a lifelong musician. I only discovered Nightwish ( ala Floor) in the last year. Simply stunned, moved and inspired. I’d forgotten how songs can produce emotions and chills! Love it!!!!! I’ve heard both Iterations by Floor and the original vocalist. I really like both. Quite different. But MAN, Floor can belt notes magnificently!!
'The original vocalist'? Talk about being damned by faint praise. Yes, she got to be too big for her boots but like it or not, without the 'original vocalist' Nightwish would either be history, or playing small clubs today.
The thing is you can't compare Tarja and Floor's takes on this song, as they approached them from different directions. Floor went with a moodier 'rock' sound that was haunting and enveloping. Tarja's take on it was a soulful power ballad that hit you like a truck, in a good way. Each brought their skills and both did a fantastic performance. Go NW!
I met too late with nightwish, but now they are one of my favorites groups. .. This is a proof (at least for me) why I really love the concert version than studio albums! Concert versions always the best.
I never heard of Floor Jansen before I saw a program on Dutch TV where Floor was singing different kinds of songs. I am 52 years old and how it is possible that I never heard of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. Woooooow. They are so incredible. Floor is really AMAZING.
Her English is a bit more fluent which accentuates the words much better than Tarja’s original since her English was as clear back then. I met her last year and it’s gotten much standard.
Heaven sounds like this. Floors voice is the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. I'm a life long musician and know talent when I hear it. Floor has it in spaids.
After listening to all Nightwish tunes - I feel Floor has so much of a broader range and complete mastery of her voice - she gives me goosebumps when she nails those notes!
@@amitygames9318 BOTH sing this song beautifully. I personally prefer Floor, but I also like and enjoy Tarja in other songs. Why choose one when you can choose both? That's a thing I will never understand about diehard fanboys.
I can listen this song in Floor's performance "upon the centuries"!!! I am 49 old man and feelings overflow me up to the weeping each time when she sings it! Thanks Floor! You are the best. You are LADY!!!
witam tu wiednąca 50 latkka przy tej piosence rozkwitam na nowo i czuje sie młodo tak jak przy utworze miłośc zwyćieża wszystko .deep purple i polecam posłuchac tez kiedy prawda boli axela rudi peela z jugosławi piosenki z zycia wziete pozdrawiam
She does make them her own certainly Sleeping Sun is the only song i have trouble with decideing i love them both By a very very slim margin i have to give it to Tarja
When she sings I feel like a little forest animal who has been enchanted by a singing magical princess and has no other option but to listen and stare at her in complete awe...
Perfect song for today here in Ohio in the USA! We have an eclipse today! We need Floor to come here and sing this song!
84 yrs old and have always been a big fan of Nightwish
if it ain't broke, don't fix it. See you.
Good taste has no age ;)
God Bless you !!
I am 80 and just discovered this great way to present real music...FANTASTIC

Floor version is the best 😊
내가좋아하는 나이트위시~❤❤
74 years old. combat vet. very old time rocker. still and all..love this group.
So much warmer and so much more feeling that Tarja's version!
Que gran verdad...
Agreed. This is lovely. The original Tarja version is very good but her voice is a bit piercing on the high notes. This is absolutely gorgeous, especially on the high notes
Floor's parents were present during this concert. So proud of their little girl ♥️🙏🤘
I mean she's a pretty big girl haha but yeh its very wholesome.

"little"
I thank Tuomas Holopainen for this amazing music.
The weirdest part is that he allegedly wrote this on commission rather than out of sheer creativity :)
Yep. On occasion of the 1999 total eclipse. I listened to this song via headphones when the eclipse occurred. One of my all-time favorite memories.
P
Creative genius.
I thank ALL of Nightwish for this amazing music. A genius composer needs amazing talent to bring his songs to life.

Is there any song that this woman can't sing better than anyone else? She is absolutely incredible. I hope she never leaves Nightwish!

Floor, you are the best.
Yes she is.
this is some of the best bass playing I've ever heard, he's absolutely caressing those strings
Marko is one of the best!
I totally agree...
Yes Marko is awesome... Stunning bass lines...
Nightwish are the Beethovens and Mozarts of our time.
Absolutely, what would they do if they had modern day instruments and equipment to fool around with?
Ingo Wahlen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Indeed
American groups should listen to this.. is called progression in music, experimentation...our music is stagnant.😟🙁😓
Most singers just sing to your ears.
A smaller number can sing to your mind.
Then there's a very few that can sing to your heart and soul.
And Floor sings all you have mentioned!
Floor sings to my soul and I’m a ginger I don’t even have one
👍👍 FLOOR JANSEN 👍👍
Floor is the best female vocalist... I wish Nightwish would play in Florida sometime soon
Floor and Tarja. Both are so fantastic!!!!

What a question. Me of course :)

welcome back then
Welcome back !!!!!
Me too...
No time like the present is there?
She didn't left, she was literally fired. which in hindsight was likely a good thing for both her and Nightwish
I was a singer/songwriter for many years, and can tell you factually that Sleeping Sun is an extremely difficult song to sing. The cadence, the pitch, the delivery and the emotion have to all come together using tremendous vocal control. Floor absolutely nails this. Love her.
Compare Floor and Tarja. Both sung Sleeping Sun. Or compare both at Deep Silence Complete and you get easily the difference.
Try Sleepwalker

I know you’ll never see this but I hope you know just how many hearts you’ve touched with your voice. Thank you, genuinely.

It‘s the same for me. I always come back here and enjoy it again and again
At least once a week
@@Viviko lllllllllllll
I play it at least once a day. Such a sweet versatile angelic voice.

All three singers are amazing. But perfomance wise, floor is by far number 1. Her Perfect picth and stage presence are just wow. She tells story while singing.
Yeah I love tarjas voice but floors stage presence is something else!!
Between this and Wacken 2013, I think this one wins it. Incredible performance. 😮
I have the bravery to say it, FLOOR IS THE BEST SINGER that nightwish has seen. She is the swiss army knife of singers, she can sing so many different styles, and does it with perfection. Hate all you want, i dont care, IMO she is the the PERFECT singer for this excellent band and its genius composer.

Tuomas couldn't have chosen a better singer. So yes, even people who've known Nightwish for ages like and, I dare to say, prefer Floor. It's been nearly two decades since Tarja has been gone. get over it. It's time to move on. If you want to listen to her music she has a successful solo career you can follow.
My mother passed away unexpectedly. She just died out of nowhere on some street in the winter. Heart attack. Right after that, I first heard this song. Though I’ve a fan for some years.
She was the sun in our lives. Now every day is a battle against darkness. For how I wish to go down with the sun. It’s been five years now. It’s so hard to go on. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home

This level of talent is simply obscene.
I love all the singers of Nightwish, but none bring tears to my eyes like Floor's beautiful voice can.

OMG. What a goddess ? She is ..She is .. I have nowords.
I never heard of Floor Jansen before I saw a program on Dutch TV where Floor was singing different kinds of songs. I am 52 years old and how it is possible that I never heard of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. Woooooow. They are so incredible. Floor is really AMAZING.
I'm 4275 years old and I love Nightwish
Perfect version of sleeping sun! clear voice, precise performance! All time sleeping sun!
RedSquirrel I almost fell asleep while listening to this rendition of this song... 😕
Nothing beats Tarja's take on of this song. Never.
@@sakuraitonen9513 ga lekker janken joh
@@sakuraitonen9513 admit
Her English is a bit more fluent which accentuates the words much better than Tarja’s original since her English was as clear back then. I met her last year and it’s gotten much standard.
When that key change hits, I come back from the dead.
Ich liebe diesen Song und ich liebe diese Frau....eine unglaubliche Sängerin!
Floor Janssen, her voice is heavenly
Heaven sounds like this. Floors voice is the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. I'm a life long musician and know talent when I hear it. Floor has it in spaids.
Sehr geil, vielen Dank.❤
After listening to all Nightwish tunes - I feel Floor has so much of a broader range and complete mastery of her voice - she gives me goosebumps when she nails those notes!
She's probably the only woman on planet earth who has a voice range from grunge all the way to opera! 😆
She is the one the true voice this band needed I have had the pleasure of seeing NW live several times with all three singers she is the best
👍👍 FLOOR JANSEN 👍👍
This song always brings me tears. It doesn’t remind me of anything sad or anything. I’m just blown away by the beauty of the song itself
Same. If I feel really happy OR really sad and cannot express the feelings, I listen to this, have a good cry, and then move along. 😬
bo słowa zżycia wzęte

Yea me too Mike
Emppu's solo. No other words
I deeply respect all Nightwish vocalists. But for me, Floor is it! Her versatility cannot be beaten by any singer on the planet. Just my opinion.
Holy shit. What did I just hear? A piece of heaven.
Man ist nie zu alt für solche göttliche Klänge
Nightwish is a life time band.
Floor is masterclass and beyond. A fantastic lady ❤
I want this song played at my funeral. Shame I won't be there to hear it!
This is the best version of this song.
What a band ! One of the Planet's very best.
FLOOR ES MARAVILLOSOA SU DULZURA INCREIBLE ESVUNICA CAROLINA WEINBERG DE ARGENTINA
a Valkyrie has descended from Valhalla to sing for us
Wisely spoken
My friend, nothing against Ms. Jensen, but only Tarja deserves this. You should hear this song with her voice. There's no comparison....
@@amitygames9318 LOL, really?
@@amitygames9318 BOTH sing this song beautifully. I personally prefer Floor, but I also like and enjoy Tarja in other songs. Why choose one when you can choose both? That's a thing I will never understand about diehard fanboys.
@@Tomidlo1971 th-cam.com/video/E_RRMRXJWxI/w-d-xo.html listen to this one :D
My god. Her voice is unbeliveable! Floor fits absolut perfect to Nightwish. Hope for a long, long time!
the bass is sensationell
I can listen this song in Floor's performance "upon the centuries"!!! I am 49 old man and feelings overflow me up to the weeping each time when she sings it! Thanks Floor! You are the best. You are LADY!!!

Een van de mooiste van floorjansen
She made this song to her own with her unique style.Much more emotional and powerful than it has ever been....
You are sooooo right!!! ....... Memories came up ..... and many tears ran down my cheeks!! Unbelievable
Niet te geloven dat Floor in Nederland niet bekend is!!!!🙈she is GREAT!!!!❤️👌
She sing really good.
Her voice is from other universe...simply amazing
Tarja is amazing
I had tears in my eyes where I heard this song live from Floor
Me too......
Me too
So Beautiful. I Love Floor Jansen ❤and nightwish
There is undeniable grace and humility in showcasing Floor's mega talent. That's why I love her.
I'm sorry but Floor's charisma and stage presence took Nightwish to a whole different level as far as live shows.
beautiful woman, beautiful song, wonderful connection
The more I listen to Floor's performances of these old NW songs, the more it feels like they were always meant to be sung this way...just amazing ❤️
She does make them her own certainly Sleeping Sun is the only song i have trouble with decideing i love them both By a very very slim margin i have to give it to Tarja
@@garywillingham3644 I don't like Floor's voice here.
@@thomervin7450_Don't you hear her voice is so more refined in that softer parts?
Then you have shit for brains lol
Yes girl!!
Isn't this Goddess just imperious. A voice from heaven.
Einmalig sehr schöne Stimme
What a stunning song, just beautiful. I'm 64 and loving this music....
When she sings I feel like a little forest animal who has been enchanted by a singing magical princess and has no other option but to listen and stare at her in complete awe...
I feel like a 63 year old person … but a nice one …
I love your comment !!!! ALOT !!!!!
Been a fan of nightwish for 20 years now. Through and through i appreciate Floor over Tarja. But I love Tarja in alot as well!
Its like "I love water, but I would love a beer"
I saw her live and I had tears in my eyes
