Floor unofficially became the first metal Disney princess

I thought it would be Tim Curry. Disney occurred the rights to The Rocky Horror Picture Show years ago. So Dr Frank N Furter should technically be a Disney Princess.

the mental picture of the nightwish army in line with a bunch of random kids to see a new Disney movie with Floor as a valkyrie makes me giggle just a little bit.

[@johnforsyth7987]

Disney tried to include the Valkyries in Fantasia back in the day. Using Wagner's music as one might expect. (Ride of the Valkyries) Unfortunately, it did not work out.

[@pete_lind]

After their space movie Black Hole 1979 , Disney really have not taken any risks , so they would take some Micky mouse club singers , Aguilera or Britney or maybe put Justin in drag ... they did use Saara Aalto in Star Wars to make up a lingo to the movie , shes from Finland too , like Nightwish .

[@matteofornero4326]

You should check out "How's the heart" from the Human Nature album of Nightwish. There is both the album version and an acoustic version with Floor and Troy. It's a beautiful song and it's really interesting because Floor looks like a gymnast, so much versatility since the lyrics are extremely difficult to sing. Thumbs up so that Elizabeth sees this comment :)

[@garywinters4636]

Both of these are excellent. Nightwish and Floor always come through. =-)

[@matteofornero4326]

@@garywinters4636 absolutely. The acoustic version is a perfect example of "less is more". However, also the studio version is great, in particular I love the last part of the song, where the mix of the voices of Floor, Marco and Troy is simply perfect.

The Alone cover in her home studio is my favorite. Her live version from the Cruise was ok and the studio rendition was superb but this latest is her sitting in a rocking chair and singing to us! Doesn't get much better than that! For Christmas season maybe she will think about reacting to Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) 2019 - Floor Jansen - Jouluyö (O Holy Night).

[@KalvinEllis]

Love that you acknowledged her facial expressions. Floor's version of Elsa clearly has more attitude. lol

[@Krendall2]

That's the thing with the idea of Floor as Elsa. I can't see Floor trying to hide away and be afraid to show her abilities. She'd just walk out and say, "I make ice. Deal with it."

After binging watching your videos, I would never hear music the same again. I begin noticing the subtleties and little details when people sing now, and I greatly appreciated for all the knowledge that you shared with us.

I like how you mentioned her posture that keeps her airways open, but I think the real magic is that she's also using those postures to express emotion in the song at the same time. Like when she moved her arm for "slam the door" it does help with singing posture, but the motion is also very evocative of slamming a door.

'How's the Heart' (planet rock acoustic version), 'Nemo' (planet rock acoustic version) or her cover of 'Alone' by Heart that was released 2 days ago 😁❤️ they're all so incredibly awesome!

[@bigg2988]

Best way with "How's the Heart" would be to do a double reaction to the original band version, AND the acoustic live. They bring out different characteristic details in the song.

[@Isileva]

Love this version! The way she gives Elsa more confidence and attitude. The way she sings 'The cold never bothered me anyway' is perfect in both delivery and meaning of that line for the character, a little arrogant and smug but in a beautiful way. I would love to "see" her as a real Disney princess were she could sing her way and that Disney would make a more of a metal princess. Thanks for another great reaction and for showing me this version of the song.

[@chrits]

Love your videos. You should consider nightwish's acoustic version of How's the Heart as your next nightwish/Floor song :)

[@jefffung7080]

I'm looking forward to this :). I also hope that you react to Floor's cover of Heart's 1987 hit "Alone" (which itself was a cover of a song by i-Ten) that was released yesterday ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5fYXqyGa9Zpfc0 ). Maybe you could also compare that to some of Floor's older renditions of "Alone" such as the 2007 studio rendition when she was with the band After Forever ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGjYknuurqhkqLs ) or a more metal live performance such as kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJPai2WwjLuNmpY.

As for Floor's vocal techniques, I know how good they are and I have nothing to add myself, because you are the expert, and I just listen to you carefully and keep learning something new. I like watching you, because if something impresses you or draws your attention, it immediately shows on your face - it's very cool! As I have already seen a few other reactions to this performance, I have to tell you one thing - you pointed out - in my opinion - a very important thing. It is hard to believe that others have overlooked it, because it is so clearly visible that it seems impossible to miss it - how much emotion Floor communicates with her facial expressions, posture, movements - it is really impressive - no only her great vocals, but all of her engages us, the audience. And finally, something that I wanted to tell you a long time ago - what a wonderful octopus sits on your desk - really very cool :-)). I think I'll buy one too - I like it very much!

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Thank you, Marek. Singing is not just about the voice, but all of it. Emotion plays a major part in how you convey the message. And yes, you should totally get a Krakino too!

Your idea that Floor treats this character from the perspective of maturity and experience feels so right. I felt it too on the first listen and now you expressed it very clearly. Thanks!

Normally your videos seem to be twice the length of the song - so equal parts analysis and music. But for this, it was several times the length of the song! Floor's cover always gives me chills. (I have done no statistical work here, this is entirely my opinion/guesswork)

[@michaelpohlgeers3214]

One thing I really love about Floor and which, in my opinion, makes her as special as she is: She doesn't just sing a song. She lives every song she sings. It's almost like she gets into a character, as if she is playing the song like a theater piece. It gets really obvious in three Nightwish epics, but also Ayreon (even more so, because she is in fact playing a role there). And that really gets the emotion across. I just love it.

[@sherriroberts600]

You are so good at what you do Mrs. Elizabeth! I love all the parts of singing and performing that you catch and share with us. Thank you.

[@rufuspanjaitan5759]

So agree to this. One thing annoying me from this song's original version is the high notes. It sounds forced and boring. But Floor sounds like she doesn't put much effort. There are more colors to Floor's version than the original.

She looks like she had the most fun singing that song

Floor’s expression shows she knows she could walk all over this song, and looks like she’s just messing around with her friends

As always, Elizabeth, a great analysis of Floor's techniques. Thinking about Floor's recovery from burnout then getting the call from Nightwish in 2012, I wonder if some of the interpretation of the lyrics of this is semi-autobiographical. She expected to have to thaw out audiences who had booked to hear Anette but then got her instead. But she plucked up her courage and stepped through that door! She admitted to being terrified to do so, but as time has shown, it was the best decision she could possibly have taken. She certainly projects immense feeling into the song, and as always, she is the consummate storytelling singer - her vocal flexibility allows her to inject emotion in ways that almost every other singer would struggle with. I figure that the microphone started out as the standard stainless steel mesh until Floor's voice gilded it.

Oh goody, I'm so there with you 😍.

People forget that Floor has an equal amount of Musical Theater training to Classical

[@mormacil]

Pretty sure she's done more Musical Theatre then Classical

I just love how you are so excited and seeing it so clearly expressed by your face how much you enjoy this :)
