[@TolatorFtW]

+Leish Tek All Hail Queen Floor!

[@snowwhitebeautyful]

She's not only a great singer, but she's smart as well.

[@Tirryna]

Not only is she my vocal idol, but as someone with severe Panic and Anxiety Disorder and Depression (all involved in Burn-out), she is such an inspiration all around! How, even newly being able to cope, she went for it!!!! Many have NO clue how hard it is! And to sing for the world's biggest female-fronted symphonic metal bands with obsessive fans! Talk about bravery!!!This woman is so amazing. Having some Dutch ancestry and being a 6'1 amazon girl with a passion for singing and music, I sometimes wonder if we are distant relatives

[@gimeneztonny3440]

I LOVE OLAF [aka. charlotte]

[@GuitarGirl4ever]

Floor is so damn classy and professional when asked about touchy subjects dealing with the band. I love that. Great interview, thanks for sharing.

[@frankford1115]

Classy lady. She knows she is good and in a great band but you would not know it. Did not judge other singers, just pure class. Lovely lady.

[@StarOfArtemis]

for sure. she handled 'what do you think of anette?' really well.

[@ferdinandhumperdinck165]

Which is likely the only part she had to think about/Train for, given her undisputable talent, class and huge performance (not tarhetted at her size!^^)@@StarOfArtemis

[@FutileGrief]

I just love when she talks so openly about her burnout. It's really inspiring

[@Zeromancer0]

Floor is amazing woman. She has such a great voice and nightwish now has a true singer with them i hope they stay together with her. This is the best thing to happen to them.

[@chewie2648]

[@nazariihirych328]

[@thomasmcclenan1776]

The beautiful Floor Jansen.

[@thomasmcclenan1776]

Advertise her well

[@thomasmcclenan1776]

She is so beautiful. I wish I were her servant.

Her voice is beautiful, her personality is wonderful too! I like her!!

[@userbunny14]

I love that she mentioned she loves Ghost Love Score and she feels most comfortable with it because I just commented on their Waken Open Air video that I was in love with her version of it. You can tell she loves it. Her voice SOARS and the look on her face is absolutely euphoric. I hope she stays with Nightwish for many many more years!

[@loonatic1011]

And that video of Ghost Love Score at Wacken actually was my first encounter with Nightwish. I spent hours listening to all their other stuff for the next couple of days and what can I say - I'm blown away!

[@MountainMetal]

Class, humility, intelligence, talent, charm, humor and presence... What a wonderful person. So happy for both her and the band, and for the whole Nightwish and metal community. I love her.

[@frozenmistress]

She is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!

[@soundofnellody262]

She really turned Ghost love score into something supernatural. It was always a good, strong song. But Floor made it her own.. gave it her stamp.. and now it's not only a good song.. its divine.

[@Crash_endo]

I'm so proud as a Dutch guy that a Dutch girl joins Nightwish. And what a personality! Go Floor!

[@Grizzlox]

Dutch & Finns have the best musicians on the Planet.

[@demonisvulcutas9878]

After Forever was a amazing group... Floor Jensen is a amazing singer also and i Have major respect for her. Recovering from a burn out. and resurrected like a phoenix Amazing.

[@Sandbek1973]

Retro Review "Recovering from a burn out. and resurrected like a Phoenix" What an awesome way to put it! You're so spot on. Thumbs up for you

[@fuzzmangr]

This is the best lineup of Nightwish!!! She is great!

[@brontiq]

i was the happiest person alive when i found out she joined the band for good....great singer wonderful performer such a sweet girl

[@peterjohnson9438]

The world needs more people like her.

[@andrewichigo]

God she's beautiful....nice interview btw!

[@ufp1701]

I am really digging this group. Watched the Wacken Open Air concert and I have got to say that this blows away anything coming out of the US of late!

[@kungsmurfen]

Ghost love score!

[@guillaumesylvain9503]

best nightwish song by far!

[@fuzzmangr]

Ghost Love Floor!

[@SinisterSkip]

Guillaume Sylvain The Wacken version of Ghost Love with Floor was amaAAAAzing! The other version from the latin america show was also insane.

[@ioannischaros3630]

Manos Fuzzman Emotionally overwhelming...

[@ralfmeyer9086]

Ghost at Wacken. The Poet..In Wembley....greatest show..in Tampere🤗

[@metalwulff]

Funny how she mentions transmitting feelings through her singing. I've never actually seen her perform in person (something I plan on changing, given the opportunity), but just watching the live version of "Ghost Love Score" from Wacken, whether it's via the KZbin video or from watching my blu-ray copy of the DVD, that emotion was definitely shining through, just in those formats. I'm almost afraid that hearing her sing live would be a bit of emotional overload, but that's a chance I'm willing to take. Bottom line, Floor Jansen is pretty much my new favorite among the Queens of Metal.

[@ClaireDeLuna09]

I don't understand why people are still so hung on Tarja....I loved her but I also grew really fond of Anette and hearing her grow vocally. And Floor in Nightwish is a dream come true... All of them brought something new to the band. That's totally ok with me.

[@smokerain8992]

ikr floor is actually really good

[@kewlbns69]

smoke rain it's too bad her career is almost at it's end. :(

[@smokerain8992]

Kewl Beans how?

[@kewlbns69]

smoke rain well once she gains enough followers tuomas will have their manager fire her. and it usually takes about 6 years or so for that to happen in the past so... :(

[@arthurhki1471]

Most people love the three singers, they just don't say it on youtube :D

[@8Paul7]

I only discovered her yesterday, but god damn she is effin amazing.

[@robbiegea684]

her technique is from out of this planet!

[@Leishtek]

8Paul7 Damn. Sounds like you've got some awesome music ahead of you to discover. =]

[@TerryDrumCovers1951]

Smart, strong, pretty, ultra-talented, classy, professional and humble. I have seen her in Nightwish twice and met her once. She is a Goddess.

[@keithwright4428]

So gorgeous...and a great singer also.

[@theaterdreamer]

I so love this woman. Hearing her sing, watching her move. Floor has got it going on. This American guy could sure be happy with a beautiful Dutch lady like that. Thank God for bands like Nightwish, because most of the rock and metal in the U.S. just sucks. The most interesting music is coming out of Europe. So many great progressive + symphonic metal bands. Thank God for the internet.

[@andyowen7636]

The USA has produced great metal bands, Van Halen etc etc..however, the focus is on sales not art, the negative result of capatilism, a band like Pantera, were commercially successful, but scared the shit out of the USA, they were awesome and socially relevant, Europe, embraces art and general culture devoid of commercial success, so in Britain for example, Joy Division are celebrated artistically more than the Bee Gees (a wonderful pop band by the way) because they were better and far more expressive, the fact they didn't 'sell' as much is irrelevant..maybe I'm wrong?

[@shawngillogly6873]

andy owen I don't think it's 'capitalism' perse that dictates this. After all, if a band is outright unsuccessful anywhere, they'll go under. Joy Division was an incredibly influential band, and were commercially viable without being megastars. But in the US, there is a lot more 'top down' dictate from the A&R departments of the labels. This is true in publishing and movies as well.That's part of the reason why when the internet exploded as a venue for sharing and exposing to new music, the album companies here were rocked. In Europe, even before the internet, there was room for regional and national success that allowed commercial viability even if they didn't become 'international.'

[@kaitlinwolf9453]

Agreed, one hundred percent.

[@jzundert]

@@andyowen7636 it,s a american band but eddie van halen that,s his name is dutch

[@Michellevca]

I just LOVE when interviews are so good. Clever and interesting questions that reveal new detalis. You can definitely tell that someone with true knowledge about NW and Floor's history came up with them.

[@kitznaidu9116]

I love how she mentions that Ghost Love Score means a lot to her. I saw her performance at Wacken 2013 and I cried. That was the song of NW that I heard first and also the first symphonic metal song. I knew nothing about the genre or the band or Floor but the beauty of it all is something I felt clearly and wept.

[@astral7080]

Match made in heaven, Floor +Nightwish

[@hansoh01]

Floor is so Classy, Such a humble singer but killer vocals and just amazing. Love score gives me Goosebumps every time.Rock -On Floor.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Hah, funny that she speaks otherwise with English sounds, but when she says "Tarja" she uses the Dutch "R". Love to Floor from Finland, you have increased the range of sounds in Nightwish songs, and every song you have done are simply mind blowing. Congratulations Nightwish, what you can accomplish with her, sky is the limit!

[@anthonytabura6346]

Floor Jansen, is my favorite, female vocalist of all time.. I love knowing, how humble she is.. I wouldn't be surprised if that is why she is so awesome, great..😊❤️🤘

[@orlandoberroteran4086]

[@geminigrrl66]

[@liricobarroco]

She’s so sweet she admire Tarjas work ❤️

[@TerranigmaQuintet]

Why wouldn't she? This competition only exists in the heads of the fanatics. The artists themselves only have the utmost respect and admiration for each other. And espescially so in the metal scene, where, as women, they are a minority in a male dominated genre.

[@xeleelex146]

they have been good friends for many years...love them both

[@gregchambers6100]

Her performance of Ghost Love Score was unbelievable. Really amazing.

[@PaulOutdoors]

This wonderful lady and Nightwish have turned my musical world upside down and inside out since I first listened to them live "The Poet and the Pendulum" 11 months ago in 2022, Thank you Floor 🙏😊👍

[@WillowTitov]

She is definitely the best vocalist Nightwish has had since Tarja. I love her voice, her attitude, and how professional she is about everything. :)

[@jozefemperor]

she is so cool and smart! looove her

[@dieseldog00]

I haven't watched this video in well over a year, but it still gave me goosebumps(and I almost cried again)when at the last she talked about how Nightwish helped her come out of that depression with all their people gathering around her to show their love for her. Floor Jansen is a very special person which is why she has an Army beside her who they all love her.

[@deltaalpha21074]

Gotta admit I do like her personality plus no question FLOOR has the full capability and experience!

[@villejuntunen5851]

I wish she enjoys the time NW is giving her with her newborn and hope she comes back with NW and will not be replaced. She has lifted NW up the next level. Amazing woman. Smart. Beautiful too.

[@darrylwoodbury]

In a recent interview, Nightwish are taking all of 2017 off and she said she'll be back with them in 2018 with something special. Most likely, that means a new Nightwish album.

[@aliedarook8298]

I do not think Floor is ever replaced. It was Tuomas which to Floor asked if she ever thought of having a child, when she said yes, he told her, then this is your chance because we want to take quite a year. They are happy with Floor. When Tarja was fired Tuomas has also thought about Floor but she was the frontlady of after forever and he did not ask her because he did not want to steal the singer of another band.

[@helavarlden8466]

Yes, what an amazing woman. Her willingness to learn Finnish says it all. I really hope that their group dynamics continue to be as flourishing as they seem to be.

[@safirgt40]

Floor's a very intelligent and experience singer and person. she's very humble and careful in her thoughts before she speaks. She's fantastic in NW.

[@davidd6854]

She is beautiful!❤️❤️

[@owlnemo]

I thought she was amazing. Then she said her favorite song was "Ghost love score". Now I kinda want to marry her :P

[@jasv49]

Well, GLS is pretty much everyone's favorite. Anette's favorite, Tuomas' favorite, I think it was Tarja's favorite, 90% fans' favorite... and now her favorite as well. So no surprise there, it's kinda the default pick. :) And I sure don't blame them, because it's a damn awesome track.

[@paolaabril9250]

Is my favorite song too!! hahaha and I wonder why they didn't include it in their Best night wish songs? hahahah …. Is the best! and I love when Floor sings it.. and obviously when Tarja sung it!

@@loonatic1011 Very very true. I'm Canadian but lived in the Netherlands for 6 years when I was a kid. I was very impressed with how well they speak English. Same for the Scandinavians, like you said.

[@loonatic1011]

@@krismate2895 That is what happens, when not many people speak your native language. You'll have to watch movies in English to learn it. If you are interested in politics for example you won't find much in your native language either. I'm in the Netherlands every once in a while and often have a chat in German with locals, which is great too. (German and Dutch are quite similar. Written or slowly spoken Dutch is somewhat understandable to a German native speaker. I don't know if works as good vice versa.)

[@markorollo.]

I find that those who's first language isn't English often speak English better than English people, like me, speak other languages, I can't speak a word of other languages and I had a Polish grandmother! Never heard her speak her first language, wish I had.

[@edudario1974]

She obviously loves Ghost love Score. Because I think she performs it in a very special way. It's not a matter of her voice, it's a matter of feelings. What a beatiful woman and the way she speaks, so calm, so respectfull. Tha's a realy talented singer and performer who don't need any strange appearance, ridiculous clothes or strange attitudes. She just sings and seems to be a low profile, humble person.

[@danyeo]

She wipes the floor with, no pun intended, with the garbage pop singers that are shoved down our throats here in the USA. The music climate in Europe is soo much better. Pop, rap and other forms of garbage have really turned the music scene here to crap.

[@Leishtek]

Dan D Agreed. Our music is awful, save a handful of musicians.

[@ChrisPhoenixMusic]

I would not strictly call rap bad. It's a sort of expression derived out of pure and honest struggle, and it deserves respect. Some rap is quite excellent. Some is very pop, and sucks. Everything becoming "Poppy" in America is the real problem. Short attention spans, stripping layers away to make it too simple and boring. Pop is not a genre, though. Remember that. It's a style of delivery. It's music in its most catchy, base form. Easy to accept and digest. Easily popular.

[@lilbo1Y1]

Hip Hop is beautiful, you just unfortunately have to look hard for the good stuff. The mainstream stuff, i do agree, is in most cases garbage.
