I'm totally blown away by this cover! That "soul"-voice in the last part really surprised me and I don't think I ever heard that before from her. We have a new Queen of Motown, the female James Brown! And I would absolutely love to hear her sing Nessun Dorma....She's beyond amazing!

I think Floor sang this as a song to Hannes, her husband .This cover was released the day before Hannes birthday which Floor announced and called him her “twin soul”.

I have the same feeling and Hannes also films all these video's. She looks at him when she looks in the direction of the camera and there's a lot of love in her eyes.

Yes, good point. In the photo it seems to show him with a video camera. Do we know anything about this, and is he the one who shoots the video, and is that the camera that he uses?

[@jamesschwarz007]

@@TedinCalgary1952 The "Happy Birthday, Hannes"-photo is most likely taken when they shot the video for "Alone". She wears exactly the same outfit and make-up. So I guess that's the camera he uses. She thanked Hannes for helping with filming her video's in the credits of her "Saturday Storytine"-vlogs and everything is filmed at their home and in the same style, so I have no dowd that it's him filming.

Not being a singer myself, but being quite familiar with anatomy as well as physics, you really discuss things in a way that makes it easy for me to understand how and why she does the wonderful things she does vocally. I’m glad you discussed that her approach and performance was more of an “excited/I can’t wait till you get here with me” rather than the sad/longing take that I think Lara’s was (both are superb BTW). I thought the same when listening to Floor’s take on the song and I think the heavier guitar/music fits that feel in Floor’s version. She just oozes sensuality and desire and so much wanting to be with that person in her vocals as well as her facial expressions. There are a couple of looks in this she gives that I’m honestly glad my wife wasn’t around when I was watching due to my reaction 😂. Again, thanks for teaching us non-singers how to better appreciate and understand singing. And, that last distorted “Make me believe “ is one of my favorite things Floor has ever done vocally. 🤘🙏🏻

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

NGL Slick, this comment just gives me that complete feeling that everything I put into this content is worth it. You're amazing. Thank you so much! I'm glad I can offer you something that lasts in a meaningful way! She truly is a wealth of vocal knowledge worth delving into.

[@clauderoy7580]

So, in my very humble opinion she is one of the greatest singers of any kind, of the 21st Century. To move someone like me, who always hated opera to check out the "Doll Aria" and "The Magic Flute" is an accomplishment. I also think back to the movie Amadeus, when Salieri is looking at all the original pieces by Mozart and he can "read" the music. He hears it in his head like reading a novel. Wow. Take care.

[@nighthiker]

I think you nailed it on the commentary about artistic expression, as usual. Let me start by saying that what I'm about to write bears no judgement on Lara or Floor as singers, I'm just talking about their approaches to this song, or their lyric selves, so to speak. In Lara's version we see a much more vulnerable woman, that misses her artistic muse or lover (whatever interpretation one decides to go with) to the point of despair - and I am not sure, listening to her, that she would be able to recover from this. Floor's interpretation shows a woman that is sad, yes, that longs, indeed, but is confident enough to understand that's part of the artist's struggle, and that without it there's really no artistic expression (and by struggle I don't mean necessarily suffering, just the search for meaning). She sings this in a confident way, from the perspective of someone who knows she'll keep on going no matter what, that she won't just be able to endure it, but thrive in spite of it. While I can't pick one or the other solely on technical or artistic proficiency, I do align more with Floor's version on a personal level, as I think her message of hope is more necessary to our current times.

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

That's very on brand for Lara's singing. She's got that angsty and raw feeling DOWN, which totally works amazingly in her singing. Floor makes it her own, which is what makes for a well performed cover in my opinion. Carbon copies are for cruise ships and dive bars (which is fine, just different lol)

[@nighthiker]

@@platon1287 Oh, well, it looks like I'm being stalked, haha. It's not a "new approach", I just quite frankly left the "role model" portion out of it here because I didn't feel like engaging in such conversation again so soon with the likes of you. But since you instead decided to come here over replying on the relevant thread on the other channel, and dragged me into this again, let me answer one more time: We have even nowadays, in our society, a culture of romanticizing suffering through love that is, I believe, in detriment to women growing up - and unfortunately it may help normalize abusive relationships. And this is not "my" take, but something that has been dealt with in many essays in social studies. While I can appreciate and recognize the mastery with which Lara portrays this role she chose to portray, I do also think that not only Floor's, but any portrayal of stronger, confident women who are not completely torn apart by such things offer a better role model for our times. But, again, that goes beyond artistic expression, and as I said more than once, anyone is very much entitled to disagree. ;)

If that's true, I don't see cuts, I don't take different takes ... it seems to be all in one take ... and it is clear that the work they put into the mix is not to seek perfection, she is simply sharing a cover with the community .. Maybe it would be too much to ask that it sound like a studio.

[@dac2007]

@@ArtMateurMusic It's one take probably, but not live. For me it sounds pretty good, specially in the climax of the song, maybe at the beginning she could have been a little higher but it's not as bad as the Ave Maria cover (i think that was the one that she sounded VERY low)

[@billattercliffe8655]

After we talked about her use of a novel distortion in this song in your last reaction and being the nerd that I am, I went back and looked through her previous songs. I found that she used the same growl in her ReVamp days, so it's an old tool that she dredged the toolbox to use. It sounds very nasal to me vs. the conventional back-of-the-throat distortion that we usually hear. Her nostrils flair when she cranks it up. I also like the twist she gives this vs. the original. And I agree, she's smiling when the lyrics require sad, because she's just having fun with the song. Great job, BTW.

As with Lara Fabian, Floor is also not just a singer, she's an experience. The Lara Fabian concert " From Lara with Love" is, in my opinion, the definitive performance of this song. That said, I think Floor does a more solid cover than even Dimash. Both singers of course, look up to Lara as the legend she is. For me, Lara is the greatest vocal performer ever, but I have become a huge fan of Floor. She has an amazing personality, which I think, is also a huge part of Lara's charisma. Floor can create magic. That puts her up there with the greatest.

The piece was written as “Albinoni’s Adagio” by Italian composer Giazotto in 1958.

There is such a seductive quality to the way she sings as well as the way she moves while performing on stage. Those slow sensual movements sometimes almost like an Arabian veil dancer, or if the band is playing in 3/4 it is like a slow Waltz. It appears that her voice and whole body are an instrument that accompanies the music as a performance on its own. Then she breaks out the windmill for a little aggression.

This now 16 year old girl, sang 'Voila' with Full orchestra a year ago at the age of 15. I listened and I was not disappointed. Please check out Emma Kok also, you won’t be sorry.

Actually, this interpretation hewed very closely to the main choices made by Fabian in the official recorded version. However, as one obsessed with the melody of Albinoni's Adagio and subsequently Fabian's live version's, I find myself missing the many masterful little craft elements I've grown to expect. I'd be curious to see your analysis of the live Adagio from the From Lara With Love concert.

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

My experience is that it is always difficult to listen to a version of a song that is quite different from the version that you have grown to love and have become very acquinted with (so that you hear and expect many small details). When I am then presented with a version that is very different (and this version IS very different) you tend to miss those little details, while the unfamiliarness of the other version leads you to not hearing the OTHER little details in the other version. (their is a word for this fenomenon: it is called "cognitive dissonance") I suffer from the same fenomenon when I other people do songs that I learned love or enjoy in Floors redition... However, I promisse you: If you would have the patience to listen to Floor's version (which I doubt you will, because you are clearly emotionally invested in Lara Fabians version) you would start hearing just as many "small details" in Floor's version. So in the end when comparing fenomenal singers like Lara Fabian or Floor Jansen, it is all down to what our ears have learned to love... (and expect)

[@DoggieFosters]

@@rientsdijkstra4266 Dude... Okay, I won't leave it there as I intended. I loved Albinoni's Adagio long before I had a clue who Fabian was. Then I discovered Fabian's masterful pop treatment of it. Her interpretation -out of the many dozens I've listened to- remains the only one to retain a strong echo of the original. And no, FJ's interpretation here is _not_ "very" different to the canned official recording of Fabian's Adagio. And there's a reason the consensus is that Fabian's live performances of it are superior to the official. Finally, the way FJ "orchestrated" and mixed the music here was criminal. You can keep your patronizing condescension for someone else. I'm not playing. Ciao.

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

@@DoggieFostersTo start with: is was not my intention to condescending, if it came across in that way: sorry (I have edited the text to make it more about my own experience). My Statement is that Floor Jansens version IS very different, simply because she is a soprano, with a much higher and brighter voice then the (very beautifull!) much deeper mezzo or even alto voice of LF, and this leads to a very different sounding rendition, with different tonal aspects, coloring and details. So what I am saying is that for those have grown to love LF's version at first hearing this can be unexpected and different, and therefore lead to a sensation of "this is not what I expected". As said I have had the same sensation many times with singers covering song by Floor that I have grown very attachted to. Actually I hear more "masterfull little craft elements" as you call them in Floor's rendition then in the live version by LF that I just listened to, but that propably is because I know Floors voice much better.

[@DoggieFosters]

@@rientsdijkstra4266 I appreciate your acknowledgement of the tone of your original comment. I haven't read your revised comment, but will trust it's better. 1) Fabian's fach is Full Lyric. 2) It feels to me like it is you who are projecting your inability to analyze & appreciate unfamiliar versions of songs onto others. 3) You interpreted "masterful pop treatment" of a neo-baroque piece (aka writing/shaping/lyrics) to be a challenge to rush to defend the vocal mastery of your fav. Oh, come on! 3) My original comment referenced how surprised I was that FJ's approach to this song and the choices she made mirrored Fabian's recorded version so closely. I stand by that assessment.

I am a fan of floor. But here she used her head voice in places where lara belted from chest what is way more difficult. Floor knows that lara performed it live also from chest what is a risk for missing the right note. I see it as a hommage and compliment for lara that she cuver her song that was a classic piece of the composer albinoni. She converted it in a pop love song with lyricus because it was an instrumental piece. I am glad that floor is recognised. She is great. She did not take the risk to use her full chest voice in the high belts. They both are favorites for me. And some new discoveries on KZbin.

[@TedinCalgary1952]

Definitely best analysis to date; and I believe I have checked them all. I enjoy learning something about her singing technique in addition to just watching the video. You are the only one I have found to date to have noticed and discussed her use of distortion in the 2nd & 3rd last phrases, despite my even prodding one other reviewer to do so. Also, a question: in one other review and in a plethora of comments to it, the commenters went into paroxysms over their perception that the voice track and the video track did not match up. Personally I just can't see it -- it seems to match to me and I have watched the video dozens of times now. (And you do not mention it). Am I just that stupid, or is there something there that we should be thinking about?

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Good question. Not going to lie, I think that they match up well enough to where it doesn't matter (I didn't even notice), but I'm really only looking at the big vocal moments to analyze anatomy. Even if the video is not the original vocal, it's clear that she's still singing in the video. That point seems too pedantic to go overly into detail on though.

I see Charlie, I see Floor, I like... no doubt

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Bert... you're the homie 🤣

[@bertbouwhuis]

@@CharlieCalottaReacts LOL .. right you are. Enjoyed your reaction as always Charlie!

[@pollyesther4675]

Oh, you think that was Floor growling?... Check out Yours is an Empty Hope by Nightwish. Some serious Floor growls in that one. She is just unreal as a singer.

[@pollyesther4675]

Disregard, just saw that you did watch that one too. Going off to watch that video now :)

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

😘

[@huubdonkersteeg2408]

You could for instance also watch The song Wildcard from this concert - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoaph4aMdreKgM0 - Floor did a lot more growling in ReVamp, especially noticeable in the live shows for their second album, Wildcard.

Adagio is a masterpiece of the Italian composer Albinoni (1671-1751). You could say that both Laura and Floor cover this composition in their own way . I like both versions, but as a Floorfan, so I'm not objective....Floor touched me each time.

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

I didn't know this! Lovely composition! Very much ahead of its time, if I do say so.

[@henrikmulders8633]

Actually, it’s a Neo Baroque piece written in 1958 by Italian composer Giazotto. He claimed to have based it on a sketch by Albinoni but this source could never be confirmed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3u5nZWCgJyJmKM en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adagio_in_G_minor

I imagine a scene where all the birds are flying out of the woods that are surrounding her studio on those last notes 😃

[@ArtMateurMusic]

She is the ''Messi'' of singers...jajaja nice reaction! i like this channel.

[@dac2007]

As argentinian I think if Messi was as good playing as Floor is singing we would have won the World Cup already lol

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Did you know that Rainych was debuted as a singer in Japan? Recently she was featured in a Japanese tv programme NHK regarding her cover of : "Manoyaka no door - stay with me" by the late singer Ms.Miki Matsubara. Turn on the subtitle when you watch it here 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5aagpmsoM59fbM

[@huldradraco]

to me it feels like the original vocalist is singing as a woman that is longing for a man she used to have, while Floor is singing as a woman in love that can't wait to get back together with her man that still is hers.

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

Two beautiful ways to interpret the text. She also released this right after her husband's birthday!

[@Jeroen1969G]

By the way, Floor Jansen dit posted Obivlion from the movie yesterday

[@seannightingale3571]

Floor's eyes put me in a trance.

[@cedricwilson1593]

She commands, we obey. Yes it is that simple!

[@tayfurdude]

13:17 I was ready for shock wave though when she squeezed her teeth slightly..

[@tonipenkova4325]

Good performance by Floor , but Lara Fabian congratulated Dimash for his cover and performance in 2017 " I'm a Singer " . If you want , try it . Or maybe try with the song " SOS " . With love from Bulgaria ❤🇧🇬❤

[@katy9291]

What are you trying to say?

[@dreadinside654]

A Japanese Vocal Coach Mr.Chihiro gave his commentary on Rainych's singing ability and performance. He said Rainych vocal tone is E5. Turn on the subtitle and watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH-qaXWdi6mUrdE
