Floor Jansen - Shallow | Beste Zangers 2019

[@FloorJansenOfficial]

I have not sang many pop songs in my life and found it a challenge to cover such a song without making it into a super heavy version. Instead of heavier we made it more like a ballad. To sing it so small, keeping it like this even when it goes up higher was the true challenge. But what a beautiful song. Also, you can stream it on Spotify and all other streaming services! 🇳🇱 - Vanavond heb ik het OSCAR® winnende nummer "Shallow" van Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper uit de film A Star Is Born uitgevoerd. Ik heb niet veel pop songs gezongen in mijn leven en vond het een uitdaging om zo'n nummer te coveren zonder er super heavy versie van te maken. In plaats van heavy hebben we het meer als een ballad uitgevoerd. Om het zo klein te zingen, zelfs als het hogerop gaat, was een echte uitdaging. Maar wat een prachtig nummer.

[@nexieane7577]

Simply put, @@cjbrett89 - Tati doesn't go as high as Floor, but Floor doesn't go anywhere near as low as Tati. But ultimately, Tati has a more audible versatility in her vocals and singing style than Floor. That doesn't mean that one or the other is bad, obviously, but Tati encompasses far more aspects and genres within (and outside of) metal which makes it objectively more warranted to consider her the "Metal Queen" as opposed to Floor. Granted, they're both Queens in their own right and if they could make an album or at the very least a song together, that would be swell.

[@nexieane7577]

psmitty840 “Floor basically has all the range above that” almost implies that Tatiana doesn’t, which she does. Most people are so mesmerized by Tatianas distorted vocals that they do not really pay any mind to her clean vocals. Tatiana also goes high, but admittedly not quite as high as Floor - at least not on record. But she does go considerably lower. The only thing that Tatiana does not do that Floor does is operatic vocals. I agree that comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges, but when someone claims that Floor is the overall best female vocalist Tatiana definitely comes to mind because she has more versatility. But again, obviously they’re both insane.

She has quite a few videos on KZbin and she explains to me what the artist is doing in terms I can understand. FWIW there is another vocal coach I ran across who discusses all three Nightwish lead female singers and how they did what they did (or still do in Floor's case).I wish I could recall her name for you but she is the only vocal coach I found on KZbin who did this. She uses one song that all three Nightwish singers sang and breaks their voices down beautifully. Never once does this vocal coach say that one Nightwish singer is better than the other. Good luck to you in your profession and hat tip to you for being a teacher.

[@peterdoe2617]

@@christopherchick6419 Thanks Chris, for giving me credit! But I'm not a teacher, not even a singer. I just like to comment and even give hints, if I have some information to share. (Mostly about cooking. Which also is an endless topic, where people can learn from each other.) I'll find a quick example for that: Mike Greenfield on "Philly cheese steak" And I've already been baking the bread as well as using the beef fat: (a story about the hype about "the best": this contains some research:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/emq5n2Wfa9qqkLs We live to learn!

[@steel1968]

Floor is so humble that she says this was a challenge to sing. I think she owned it. She is amazing.

[@johnpetten8717]

I love Henk's expression at the end of the song. It looks like he's on the verge of tears

[@psyren12369]

I literally cannot think of a more versatile artist. Floor is simply amazing.

[@thelydiaspringexperiment6437]

nina hagen. sorry

[@STARKILLER15100]

I never expected a metal singer to have such a gentle voice what is life right now? Am I experiencing a new genre of music?

[@sanderaerts1864]

haha nope, youve been living under a rock like many people because the name tag is ''metal'' . Metal is extremely big, you can think of it as rock/pop/hiphop/opera/blues. we have all of that within metal with MANY underrated artists like Floor especially in her own country sadly.... being a metalhead here in the netherlands can be difficult as we are judged by looks and the name metal, directly resulting in being an outcast. i havent met any person who thought the same after saying a simple ''hi'' but fact is most will only try to avoid you here.

[@FrightMask]

Metal has always made "gentle" songs since its birth, they are called ballads. I don't blame you for not knowing it, it's a niche genre.

[@cuteotaku1997]

She is the lead singer of the Finnish band Nightwish, which is a "symphonic metal" band. Bands like these often have opera trained singers! :)

[@augustotorres8707]

their faces!... even Henk was like.... she admires... me??!!! so amazing to see how you take all of us into a beautiful journey with you every time every song! what a time to be alive!, Floor just admit you are not from this earth!... we be watching you!

[@sebas9116]

Sensitive and strong in one, Floor is the Queen. Better than the original, and that is a huge compliment from a Lady Gaga fan.

[@ravenclaw17]

Better than the original is a stretch. It may be according to your opinion though but for me, nothing beats the original.

[@Sapphire901]

Not better but it really is one of the best covers of shallow

[@anicoperfler2158]

I am so very sorry but no cover so far has beaten the original, and apparently none will. As heavenly and extraordinary as this was, I have to agree this may be THE best Shallow cover, I can't imagine no one doing what Gaga did on the song's climax. This is one of the songs you can't not say, "That song is Gaga's." However, to each their own, that's how I see it.

[@RangelGabriel]

@@anicoperfler2158 I agree. What Gaga did, no one ever will!

[@tobymaxmax658]

She also did a great cover of Bad Romance which is on KZbin. I loved the operatic touch to it.

[@ExaltedDuck]

I just love how she's surrounded by not just professionals but a handful of those deemed to be the nations best singers and they are all just blown away by her talent.

All of them were trying so hard not to cry! Just shows how much impact her voice has on people. Most singer’s voices strike in the heart but Floors, it just strikes you in your soul.

[@minhhoangvo4399]

Seriously, the way she caresses every single note just DELIVERS the versatility of the song so well. Her falsetto's got me all over places.

[@pangod666]

Well... Floor Jansen and Lady Gaga are my favorite singers ever. Without a doubt. So this has been literally the best thing I’ve ever heard. Both of them mean so much to me. I’m not exaggerating, it might sound like It but I’m not. I’m sitting here, goosebumps all over, crying. Thank you so much.

@FatalPies Lady Gaga has a songwriters Hall of Fame, stop discrediting her writing abilities, she has wrote ever song in her discography and is one of the finest songwriter of our time

[@user-lk3gn4dn9o]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what perfection looks like.

[@stray8535]

You're literally the best vocalist I've ever heard. God only gives the World a very few people your gift. The thing is you've worked very very hard to make it even more beautiful. Thank You Floor for your hard work and sacrifices to bring all of us the joy of music!!

[@MiftahJonas]

What an amazing live performance, the best cover version of this song really even better than the original. Great job Floor Jansen, i love you !!

[@reynardtcloete6959]

My absolute favorite female vocalist ever

[@guyinsf]

People need to stop comparing the 2 and feel compelled to state who is better. They sang the song differently, Gaga belted out this tune with all her lungs because she was singing at a freakin' stadium or large venue and needed that effect for the movie. Floor Jansen is re-interpreting the song as a soft, breathy rendition in front of an intimate audience of less than 10 people. They are both phenomenal in their version. End of story!

[@L.T.L.T.L.T.]

AGREE👍🏻🤘

[@UNTAMEDNL]

Beautifully said my friend amen.

[@manuelgonzalezrubio2183]

But Floor's is better XD

[@SoulofAetherym]

floor belting this out with all her lungs would literally just humiliate gaga so it's better she went for the original approach omg; like gaga is clearly a good singer but lacks the technique imo

[@guyinsf]

@@SoulofAetherym Yeah the only singer in Top 40 pop who can do pop, rock, country, jazz and wowed the Oscar crowds with Rodger and Hammerstein lacks technique. LOL

[@mnewm21]

This is mum singing to gramps and the kids! Look at the adoration. No one has picked any of her songs as the "winner" which keeps surprising me but I cannot really fault them in their reasons for their choices. Love Henk, Tim and Samantha's voices as well and Ruben has an opportunity to be a great singer songwriter if he can build on what he has learned as a 20yr old on this show! Emma should have been so happy after this night. To quote Floor: WOW!
