Floor Jansen - Shallow Beste Zangers 2019 - First Listen/Reaction

[@TimoArula]

Best version , period !!!! Plus, Floor Jansen can make you feel the song (And she is the leader of the onion ninjas 😁 ). NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

[@karljensen6768]

In the episode for Tim Akkerman, he told that he had never cried to a song, and he was sure he never would! Floor? I got this 🥰🥰🥰

[@chrism2964]

This was the song made me think, yeah, shes the best singer in the world. Nightwish is super impressive, but this is so emotional and so technically good that there was no longer any doubt.

[@brianalmeida1964]

Great reaction. Beste Zangers is a Dutch TV show that brings together 6 or 7 famous Dutch singers from different backgrounds and genres. Each week one singer is chosen and sits on the centre couch beside the show's host. The other singers then sing songs from that chosen singer's catalogue or songs that are special to them. At the start of this show Floor was relatively unknown in the Netherlands and among the other guests too. That all changed pretty quickly! All her performances on here are stellar and worth checking out. There are videos of her performances on KZbin with English subtitles for the pre performance interview and post performance comments by the other artists. They are definitely worth checking out! She opened the show with an aria from the Merry Widow, dedicated to Henk Poort (the older guy), called Vilja Lied.

The most powerful Queen of Metal, just made the most emotional ballad of Shallow.....

[@aveangerjas4741]

You are such a nice man. Thank you for showing your true you. With Floor its easy to be openhearted, allways ♥️

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

You heard the crickets because they were in a big tent at the Ibiza, Spain. This Floor's performance is a masterful one. ⛄👍

[@eTraxx]

All singers. Each week one sits center (the young blond woman this episode) and the others sing either their song or one that they love. Emma .. the blonde .. is a KZbinr who does covers and Floor picked this one for her. They are all great and the series is great.

[@alejandrariquelme9574]

Well, in that program, Floor sang in English, Dutch, German, Spanish. Each song was amazing.

[@hiawatha.g]

Here is an excerpt from my review of Floor's performance on this show, including some links: One of Floor Jansen’s gifts is her ability to channel so many different kinds of singing. She demonstrated this in 2019 when she appeared on Beste Zangers, a Dutch musical reality show in which small groups of established recording artists take turns interpreting songs for each other. Prior to that season, the show had been unknown outside Holland, but Jansen’s participation drew a worldwide audience to the podcasts. Most of that audience knew her from her work with the symphonic metal band Nightwish, where she is the lead vocalist. What they witnessed, week after week, was a mind-blowing demonstration of vocal prowess and versatility. Jansen was tapped to perform the opening song in the first episode of the season. She did a metalized arrangement of Vilja Lied, an old German opera aria. This was the first time most of the other artists had heard her sing. She had been introduced simply as the singer in a metal band, so it’s fun to watch their faces as they try to process what they are witnessing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSveGiOZs5lh68 Jansen singing salsa/reggaeton: “Que se Siente”. She already speaks and sings in Dutch, English, German, Swedish and Finnish, but had to learn a little Spanish to perform this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epe8ln-LpNaqZqc Here is Jansen channeling Patsy Cline, with “I Don’t Know a Thing about Love”, sung in English: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5ncnJR3ha2bqZo And of course, you just watched her cover "Shallow", and in my opinion, it's much better than the original.

Wolfpack ! How tall is Floor ? ....2 x Asami :-)

[@Thorgrim247]

This is a Dutch television program set up in an elaborate tent on the island of Ibiza off the coast of Spain. The audience is actuall all Ducth vocalists. Floor is singing this song for Emma Heesters. She is the young blond girl in the red dress. She is an amazing You Tube singer. This is a great show. Not a competition. Kris Kristofferson.

[@christinaalgate4899]

At the beginning of the show only Tim knew who Floor was. He's known Floor since her band After Forever. Her first song was Vilda Lied in German for Henk

[@RandallMorris222]

I would highly recommend anything from this season of Beste Zangers. All of the singers were magnificent.

[@jg8428]

There is good, there is great, and then there is Floor!!

[@xztream2455]

Crickets indeed. It was shot at Ibiza at an outside stage ;)

[@fvantpadje]

Here was Floor singing for Floor, but you should also see when Emma is singing for Floor the song Strong. Strong is a song written by Floor. De beste zangers is a show at the Dutch TV. This year was Anneke van Giersbergen in the show. Anneke was the reason that Floor started as metal singer. You should try from this season Anneke with Sobrevivere .

[@karljensen6768]

Oh Emma did Strong soo well 🥰 It plunched right into the heart of Floor, and also to all others 😘🇩🇰

[@damonbryan7232]

I love the concept of this show. Take singers and make them sing out of their comfort zone. To think, Floor was virtually unknown in her home country. Where is aired. Even with her being lead of Nightwish for 7 years by the time of filming. Everyone else are household names in the Netherlands. She showed that not all metal singers are screamo singers.

[@deeteenw]

Yeah I think she was even the officially best selling singer from the Netherlands but few people knew her name. That changed a lot with this show though.

[@clivematthews5296]

Premise is that seven singers on the show with one each week sung to by other six with usually their own song or one important to them. Floor is singing to Emma Heesters the girl in red. Floor was not known to most of them and blew them away with her ability. She first sang Vilja Lied to Henk Poort, opera and musicals. But worth watching every one of Floor's performances. She makes several of the other singers tear up when she sings their song. Oh, and she sings in English, Dutch, German and Spanish.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

You know Henk sing in Floors Soloshows, and a few days ago, Floor sing in Henks show.🤘 Amazing

[@Zoey-K-1]

I’d recommend you watch Floor’s other songs from this program, but I’d also recommend a couple of the other participants’ performances when they sang for Floor: Heck Poort (the guy you saw Floor duet with on Phantom of the Opera) doing The Sound of Silence. Emma Heesters singing Strong, a song that Floor wrote for her mother. Emma’s performance was beautiful and brought Floor to tears.

[@vlinder6329]

Hello Tod, here I am again to listen to Our dear FLOOR. GREAT, GREAT RESPONSE I had tears in my eyes too. This was on the Fantastic ISLAND 🏝 IBIZA SPAIN🌴 in a RESORT. I really enjoy this. It is a Dutch Show with all singers who sing a song to each other. Months in advance, they receive a list of favorite songs from the guest on the couch. It is not a competition, they surprise the singer who is sitting on the couch next to the Host JAN SMIT. He lives in my VILLAGE VOLENDAM around the corner. He is also a SINGER 🥰 Thank you my friend, love from VOLENDAM The Netherlands ❤🤍💙🇳🇱🙋🏼‍♀️😘

[@gregs_music_corner]

Floor Jansen.. She's my vocal role model. Us mortal vocalists sing what we can. She sings what she wants. This is from beste zangers, where 5 singers get together and sing each-other's songs, as well as some favourites. The whole season with Floor is phenomenal. Her version of "winner" from the same show is phenomenal. It's worth it to watch the whole segment where the guy who wrote this song explains that he wrote it for his handicapped brother. And then Floor sings it. That video gets me every time.

[@clivematthews5296]

It's seven singers.

[@ToTheWolves]

They're very good friends. Henk and Floor.

[@mubbles1066]

It’s definitely worth checking out her Beste Zangers songs,she sings in English,Dutch,German and Spanish and they range from opera,country and rock.You definitely hear crickets,they’re in an outdoor area in Ibiza under a fancy marquee.

Henk Poort is the name of the “older gentleman” & yes Floor performed a duet with him on this same show - Phantom of the Opera. They also released a cover of Dangerous Game from Jekyll & Hyde on Floor’s channel. Currently they are touring as a guest artist on each of their individual tour shows.

[@ecbftl]

I think I saw Floor post in the past week she did 3 sold out shows with Henk in Amsterdam. Last night she was with Nightwish doing a big show in Oslo. She is getting really busy.

[@BigzampanoXXL]

Floor in TOP Form = FLOORFORM.

[@elenasnchez7434]

Is the Queen ...Floor Jansen

[@jasonmarshall7572]

kris kristofferson A star is born. Seen it as well. All of them are Singers and Floor had taken them all by surprise When she first ever performed as they heard she was this metal singer and they had just no idea how good she is. The concept is they all take turns in the hot seat so to speak and each one must sing that person a song either one of there songs or there favourite song or in Henk Ports case one from his child hood memory.

[@RonniePeterson]

Thanks for that one and all the other for that matter.

If you are interested, check out the other performances from Floor on "De Beste Zangers". Especially the first one is priceless. No one knew her and they all heard her sing for the first time. The performance is "Vilja Lied" kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSveGiOZs5lh68 . (there is also an extended video with subtitles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3jImHaCodafe68)
