Floor Interview and Puccini Reaction by Songs and Thongs

It is a Opera audience 🤘🤗 And i swear you, the Nightwish Army loves this Video from Dutch TV.

Pure Floorgasm 😌❤‍🔥!!!!! Nuff Said !!!!

[@arnaldotanta3630]

Its Floor doing Floor's things 🤣🤣🤘🤘

[@Slick-ng5kf]

That’s the scary part ….she’s this good with about 1 year of true opera training ….imagine with constant training and study and concentration just on opera????? But thankfully for all of us she’s a metal head and can still sing classical style when needed in all those metal songs we love. And yes, Floor is absolutely stunningly beautiful…was in 2nd row at Massachusetts concert and she is truly a breathtaking singer and amazing frontwoman. Her eyes and smile though 😍 …I couldn’t take my eyes off her she’s truly captivating….I think Sharlene said on your Wish I Had an Angel video she seduces you vocally it is truly the case. 🤘

[@ralfmeyer9086]

Better, that Floor went to Metal. So, we have our Floor Jansen. But you are right , a few years more Opera Training, and Netrebko had a Challenge .🤘🤘hihi 😊

[@juanmendez3770]

I too saw her at Lowell. I was on 2nd row seat 8.

[@SuperMoofie]

@@ralfmeyer9086 And that's saying something, Because Anna Netrebko is a fabulous, and powerful opera voice. Would love to hear Floor do more opera tho, her sound is so pure and so far-reaching, it's just exquisite.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

[@Ati-MarcusS]

Love this Song and Floor

[@clivematthews5296]

This did not have the same affect on the Dutch people as did her appearance on Beste Zangers in 2019 when she sang to six other well known Dutch singers. After she performed her solo version of Shallow she became so popular. But worth listening to any song by her on this show. Personal favourite is her first song sung to Henk Poort a famous opera and musical theatre star whom she had idolised aa a young girl. The song is a rock version of Vilja Lied from The Merry Widow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSveGiOZs5lh68

When Harry is massively excited....no intro :P

[@RuthlessBiscuit3]

Every time I hear this I want to throw myself off a bridge because it's so beautifully sung by Floor.

[@German_1]

She had only been in the band for 3 months at this point! She does it all doesn't she!

I,m pretty sure this was after Wacken

[@Klojum]

@@nicod1361 Not at all. She just said in the interview that she was asked "only weeks" ago. So that would have been still in 2012. Wacken was in 2013.

[@Ati-MarcusS]

thank you Daniel buddy

[@Wollie1979]

At this point Floor was very unknown in the Netherlands. I must admit that I didnt heard of her at that time too 🥹….but how much different it is today! Since a few years (especially after Beste Zangers) Floor has become a very popular person back here as well. Whcich is awesome of course!

[@ronaldoseinstra1657]

Leuk. Bedankt....

[@TaverenTech]

So this is after America, where she started in Sept/Oct 2012, then going to South America 2013 after this, realize she's likely been with Nightwish only few months during this interview. Puccino arias are know for lots of portamenti (the plural in Italian ends with i not s) which is something that Floor is actually quite good at (just part of everything to do with singing for her).

[@davidbarrass5210]

Floor joined nightwish on tour in October 2012, this was recorded 16 Dec 2012 so just 9 weeks and how good she sounded already in the clip from finish concert.

[@humphreyterveer1338]

Floor is not an opera singer with only one year of opera training. You should not compare her to professional opera singers either, but her performance shows how talented she is and how well she sings Italian.

[@fredverkerk838]

nobody say that

[@janetlawson4482]

Love Puccini aria’s especially from Tosca.

[@roblaw4554]

As I've said before my favorite thing here, beyond the absolutely lovely aria, is the lead-in and the aftermath. This is an overly starched and buttoned-down classical and opera music show. He introduces her as a "metal" singer and plays a Nighwish clip...I absolutely love the looks on the faces of so many in the audience - this metal......person with the nose ring, is going to try her hand at "legitimate" opera.....hhmmmmppffff!!! And Floor, a person of much grace, in the nicest way possible essentially says "OK, that's cool. Here, hold my beer!" And yes, absolutely somewhat different faces after she kills with a famous and well known aria from Puccini! Welcome to other genres, Bitchez!!! rl 🤘👹🤘

[@WonderfulWorldOfStuff]

Floor pre-tattoooed very early days of her joining. Still as beautifully humble today. Best comment ever Harry!! "Is this how other people feel..." ... Not at all Harry... How do you type sarcasm?? (I giess that question does the trick) . Much love guys.

[@German_1]

the song you want to hear growling most of the song is "yours is an empty hope" at wembley. I read in an interview that floor was really nervous, singing for mostly a bunch of old farts in this opera bit.

[@tsiouparoglou4493]

Absolute perfection.. Just look note by note her facial expressions and you will see someone who knows EXACTLY what she's singing.

[@lonewolfpoetics]

I was like "erm still waiting for the growls" lmao

[@ralfmeyer9086]

Yes ,Floors growls O mio bambbino caro. Interessting idea 😊😊😅🤘🤘

[@ecbftl]

Yes, I think there is a video by Floor where she talks about growling... but this was a nice alternative. At first I thought they were going to do both videos.

[@sleeepwalk]

It's exactly how we feel... HAHAHA... Before the song and before you let Charlene speak... In this end she only say yep yep yep yep yep yep because you talk non stop... even so.... we love you both... And Sharlene must slap you and talk more...

[@jeffreymorgan5380]

Your reactions to music make you a Boer not a bore.

[@nightgoblin29]

[@peet4921]

Note that at the end the presenter touches the old man (orchestra's leader) on the shoulder and says ''Still beautiful, not ?'', because no one, and certainly he, didn't believe a metal chick could do something like that. Actually the whole audience (pretentious know it all's) thought the same, but as usual Floor shut them up.

[@jerrychance3909]

Wasnt that Ton Koopman? Was he the orchestra leader on that show?

[@peet4921]

@@jerrychance3909 I think so, yes.

[@Kelsea-2002]

[@andyplatt9464]

Hi Guys. Love all your Nightwish, Northward and Revamp reactions! If you want to see a band who are normally afternoon or early evening performers around the festivals and are amazing live check out British metal band Skindred. Their front man Benji Webb can work a crowd to a frenzy with a brilliant fusion of brutal metal and reggae and a load of banter. Check out their performance of 'Warning' from Resurrection Fest 2015 (you might want to put up a language warning). They're a completely different thing from Nightwish but I love them both!

the Afrikaans( a mix of dutch, german ,french and scotish spoken in South Africa descends from Dutch and dates back to the 17th century, before the Boer War.Although Afrikaans has adopted words from other languages, including German and the Khoisan languages, it is estimated that 90 to 95% of Afrikaans vocabulary is of Dutch origin. Therefore, the differences with Dutch are usually in the more analytical morphology and grammar of Afrikaans and in an orthography that expresses the pronunciation of Afrikaans instead of Standard Dutch
