- Floor Jansen and the Red Limo String Quartet are interviewed and play "Energize Me" by After Forever in TV show "Podium: Uitmarkt" on August 30, 2009
As requested, translation of the questions to Floor:
Q: It's a completely different world than the quartet isn't it?
Floor answers: Yes, but somewhere we meet in the classical arrangements in our music. It's heavy guitars, double bass, but I sing both pop and opera and our music contains a lot of classical arrangements. And therefore it was kind of a logical step to the Red Limo String Quartet.
Q: And it's not being amplified, that must be different for you.
Floor answers: Yes and no. I have done many different things, also outside of After Forever. Singing acousticly is not unfamiliar to me. But this setting is different, and the fun part is that you can add some nuances.

last time I've seen someone this good singing live, he was called Freddie Mercury
High praise and perfectly apropos!
100% true
Adam Lambert does a great job Live too
So you're a Nightwish fan then?
Young Floor, older Floor, in Endless Forms most Beautiful Floor.
Brilliant !
One of the best singers of our time...
I am a Dutch GP and have lived and worked in North Wales for 25 years. I discovered Floor Jansen in 2018, when I saw a video of Elan by Night Wish. I was impressed by her voice and it took me on a voyage of exploring symphonic metal, including After Forever. Their song Energize Me with Floor singing was brilliant. Floor's powerful and expressive vocals with their impressive range have added so much to Night Wish's concerts.
This acoustic version of Energize Me by Floor and the Red Limo String Quartet was a pleasant surprise. It dates from before her Night Wish period. Floor's singing is of the stars, but when she speaks you can hear her lovely Brabant's accent. It tells you where she is from, the girl from Tilburg who became a singer of world renown.
Love her gesture, taking a few steps back with the rest of the musicians. You cannot rehearse that. It’s her natural way of acting in the world.
Beautiful vocals. My favourite Nightwish singer, not just for her vocals, but for the way the band performs with her. Love it.
As a Dutchmen I saw After Forever in a small venue round 2003, in Apeldoorn. Great band, great singer. Years after that Floor joined Nightwish and became one of Hollands best known singers, abroad. If not the best. And watching this, end of 2023, I think, it's not more than logical that Floor had the career that she's having now. And what she said, I sing pop and opera (and metal of course, the music I love), so true. Versatile, you can say that.
Endless Floors most beautiful
What
The
Hell
Floor, take my soul.
Dear god she is talented.
Wow. Even when Floor was younger ,she nailed this song without a microphone . I’m amazed 😲😍🤟🏻🙌🏻🔥of this performance before she became the Valkyrie Queen🙌🏻🤟🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥
Just found this looking for other version of Energize Me live. Insane.
Look at all these old couples, enjoying the goddness of METAL... Holland must be great counry.
Actually, most people in Netherlands didn't know her until Beste Zangers show was broadcasted on TV in 2019.
@@cancelled_user Most people didn't know what symphonic metal was until Floor joined Beste zangers. Dutch bands like Within Temptation, Epica, and Delain suffered from the same fate. At one point Within Temptation was the biggest band in the Netherlands without anyone in the Netherlands recognising their name. I heard they have bands like Nightwish on the radio in other countries, not here. We are basically stuck with 3 radio options. Pop, 80 rock and classic.
@@cancelled_user the Netherlands have a great problem. They dont know how many great female Singer they have..ok Floor (VALKYRIE) after BZ..i am german, and our ?only sad...
Yes! This is awesome.what a voice control. To sing like this you must have 100% control over your voice. So beautiful..
She’s awesome. Doesn’t even need a microphone 👍🏻😁
Sorry to burst your bubble, but classical and opera singers never use microphone.
@Tony Montana Exactly.👍
J.F. Luiña Bousquet she can sing classical and operatically too lmao
@@j.f.l.bousquet1998 Never ???
Doesn't it depend where they are singing and for how many people, etc?
Like this: th-cam.com/video/uw1VWaV39WU/w-d-xo.html
That's called: having the right singing technique. Using your diaphragm for voice projection. Nothing to do with classical or opera singing
Damn.. she's perfect ♥
Gabriel O'conner si lo es! Maestra! 💖
Floor doing Floor things... 😍🤩
"Energize Me" was the first After Forever song I ever heard, back when Anette Olzon was still fronting Nightwish. Watching _this_ version now, after the world's gone (rightfully) Floor-crazy, I was a little hesitant about that pick for a mic-less song in front of a bunch of old people, especially knowing about the high note at the end (she only went for the first one, not surprising). It must have been really nerve-wracking! But she pulled it off!
She has such a powerful voice
I don't care how old you are, there's just no way you cannot be moved by this woman's voice. I mean, listen to her!!! Floor is a goddess.
This is REAL voice , so powerfull and so sweet !!! :)
also that violo is sexy :D
@@dreamflight5637 poor you if u happen to listen Lindsey Stirlings violin :p
The Power of Her Voice is Just unbelievable! Our Valkyrie Queen is Unmatched.
Incredible ... live ... without mics.
Floor is a goddess!
To do that before a non-rock audience shows versatility. I think she won the room by the end of it.
Jesus Christ, am I actually hearing this. It is beyond brilliant!
FLOOR CAN DO IT ALL....SHE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGER OF THE HISTORY OF MUSIC....NOT ONLY METAL.....EVERYBODY SHOULD NOW HER....
walter morales you are a prophet.
😂😂😂😂🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
A Floorgasm of over 3 minutes...
Floor, I have no words... Thank you!!
I love how the orchestra kept looking at her. Probably like "Holy shit"
Timing. But yeah, holy shit also.
It's amazing how well she sings. Also I was quite shocked that she could be heard so well without a microphone.
There are no words to describe how incredibly wonderful Floor Jansen is. The best singer of all time in the entire Universe. Each phase of your career is Brilliant and this Public, I think it was the coolest I've ever seen, what a demonstration of affection and Love. Thank you for this beautiful record.
What a voice, she is my goddess.
The best female singer
All those many years performing for those crowds that dont get it. Finally payed off.
Not even using a mic or effects, amazing!!!
Damn..without a Mic...she's the Queen.
I just wanted to write where's the mic? :)
wow as always....she opens her mouth and out comes goosebombs and shivers down my spine
Thank you for posting this!!!!! I first "discovered" Floor when she took over the lead vocal role for Nightwish...and have been smitten ever since.
absolutely amazing. No microphone here, no tricks, and the performance is awesome as well as in studio. Great use of voice dynamics.
Look at our Queen.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭👩🏻🎤👩🏻🎤👩🏻🎤🔥🔥🔥
My Goddess. My Queen.
What power and what control over her voice.
Amazing!
I'm in love with this version, really. Stunning voice, stunning woman. Energize me, Floor.
What a voice! What a woman!
one of the most extraordinary and versatile voices ever...what can I say more:)absolutely fascinating vocals
Though crowd but you can be proud of your performance Floor. Was pitch perfect as always love your voice and aspesiall when you sing whit nigthwish. It's magic
Can you imagine how lucky Nightwish should be with a singer like her.
Young Floor. She didn't know her enormous full natural voice potential at that time. And still she reaches you in a nanosecond and blows your heart away. Amazing
She will be fronting Nightwish...at least for the remainder of their current North American tour. Would love to see her remain as the permanent vocalist. Who else agrees?
NewWorldNorseman I have some fantastic news for you! (I know I’m six years late to the video but I couldn’t help myself)
@@Iamthecrazyone If you hadn't posted this comment i would have said the same. hahah love it.
Lucky Norseman ;)
Your wish is granted
@@Iamthecrazyone Dangit, i'm late !
I need After Forever back. Please, come back!!
Look at Epica. It was founded by Mark Jansen who was the guitarist in After Forever. Epica pretty much continued the sound of After Forever.
@@treintje1001 oh, I listen to Epica pretty much since their beginning. I totally agree Epica took after what AF was doing. Although I like Simone, I wonder how their songs would sound with Floor. It's true both sung together for Mayan already
@@ferrenberg They would probably not sound very different, since the voices of Simone and Floor are quite similar, and they both use the same vocal styles en techniques. If you want to know how it sounds then check out Sancta Terra from their 10th anniversary show where they perform together, although I'm sure you already know that one :-). There you can hear how much their voices are alike. However I have to say I agree with you to the degree that I am sad that the old AF songs are not performed live anymore.
@@treintje1001 Be careful, there are two versions of Sancta Terra. One is real life and there you can hear the difference between both, the other version is recorded at the studios where Simone also sang the part of Floor. th-cam.com/video/hOGe6E2A19U/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/w-d-xo.html
1:58 You're welcome!
13druid13 thank you
Omg lol, 2009 Floor was absolutely GORGEOUS!!! The bangs are too the shit!
A masterclass!
Floor's voice is just amazing. My best wishes for her =)
FLOOR JANSEN 🤩 this song😊👍😀
She's so magical..she captivates me everytime with her voice...I DO LOVE Floor
I love you Floor Jansen!!
At 3:46 I peed a little! That´s so good!
OMG! this gave me goosebumps! and I mean a lot! through the whole video I got goosebumps all over my skin....few singers can give me that sensation....Floor is the best!
She is just amazing
Majestic!!!!
I remember seeing her throw the microphone away in a real metal setting. Of course not a huge venue but it was great to see.
We love you FLOOR, we were still behind you waiting for your command
God damn floor.. your a goddess
Floor you are the best!! Just AMAZING!
Floor deserves more! She is fantastic!
She can sing bulgarian folk songs and still it would be flawless !
From time to time I watch this video and floor's beautiful voice always mesmerize me just like the first time.. she puts so much emotion on what she does and it shows
What a voice 🤘. One of My All Time favorites ❤️ greetings to the increadable #FloorJansen. She is one of the Best 👌😍
perfecto!
Lo máximo Floor Jansen. Extraordinaria 🌹
The build up in the violin part is amazing.
I followed Floor since the after forever era, and I have the cd where this song is. I think she is the best living singer
Floor is gewoon een topper
she's a queen, a mermaid singing
she is amazing, i loove floor and her beautiful voice
Goose bumps.
OMG this is the most personal energizer ever !
I believe she wrote this as well... Glad to find this gem...
I'm not shocked by anything she did, is doing or will do in the future. This is the world's greatest singer. She hasn't sold out to mainstream commercial industries. She has convictions, values and she knows that she is as good as she is. She hasn't the need for American BS radio, tv or the time to be around amateur singers like Adele, Beyonce, Ariella Grande, Lady Gaga or whatever other trash that's being force fed to the masses. Everyone of those mentioned would be blown off the stage if they were to have a competition with Floor. She would eat them up and spit them out. Floor is a true Queen with grace, morals, and self respect. She doesn't need to dress like a whore in underwear and bra's and strut around stage like a prostitute. She is all real, nothing fake, all natural.
floor a melhor😘
Wow! thanks for uploading this. It's amazing!
Saludos desde el futuro.....un mundo te espera con los brazos abiertos...y disfrutarás lo sembrado...en el mundo del rock...🤟🤟🖤🖤🤟🤟
Listen to it again and again...love it!
man, this is pure gold
This is outrageously amazing.
YAY
Sharon den Adel - Nederlands

eindelijk iets waar we trots op kunnen zijn.
Floor has an amazing voice.
One of my favorites.
I was wishing to see something new from her, and maybe this song isn't but I love this performance!
Incredible. Shes perfect
Respect...
Powerful, wonderful ! Floor, You're already sooo energized ..:-)
goddess
Floor goes straight to my head and makes me feel giddy. sigh
This is incredible! And I can see why the camera loves the second violinist so much haha.
God is so simple that finishes singing when placed next to others not to take it the whole show. I Love Floor Jansen
Those people didn't know...they just didn't.
she is so talent
floor janse perfeita .
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sem palavras flor Lindo demaisssss
Eu fiquei esperando ela desafinar. Perfeito
The sprinklers must be leaking in my office because theres drops of water running down my face listening to this....
I remember that 'Sunshine Variety Club' crowd being equally tough to please at that Carcass gig further down the road later that day /,,/
ESPECTACULAAAAARRRR
perfect
2009 technology wasn't up for the task to record her voice
Ken Lavigne did a great reaction to this video as well and: he found the microphone!
