FLOOR JANSEN - SHALLOW | REACTION

Here’s the video link • Floor Jansen - Shallow...

[@krakon6565]

I'm a man, former USMC, been in more than a few bar fights aka fistfights, been locked up on several occasions. I'm 65 years old and get a lump in my throat when I hear Floor sing this to the point where sometimes I feel a tickly sensation moving down my face only to find out there's water coming out of my eyes. Truth. Floor pierces my heart with her singing. I'm not the least bit embarrassed or ashamed and if anyone ridicules me for it I'll slap the s**t outta you. PEACE

[@ceithern]

The show is really neat, it is a bunch of Dutch singers getting together to celebrate each other. Each week, one person is the featured singer and the other singers sing songs that the featured singer wrote or is known for singing or even songs that have meaning to them. This could be things totally outside the other singers' comfort zones or normal style. Emma Heesters (the blonde in red) was the featured singer this week and she is known for her KZbin covers. The other songs from this week are worth checking out as well. A KZbinr named Denise Hofs has put up subtitled episodes on her channel, they are really interesting to watch.

[@douglascampbell9809]

They really are worth watching.

[@lonelywind3511]

Denise Hofs has English subtitle translations of the discussions on the couch before and after each singer sings. She deserves a lot of credit for taking the time to do the translating for the many of us that have been watching the episodes that don't speak Dutch. The singers all talk about what they are going to sing and why they chose the particular song. In this case Emma Heesters was the one being sung to by each of the other artists. A different artist is honored each week. Note that they are all good but to me especially Floor and Henk Poort (opera singer with a great sense of humor). The final episode of the show for the season will be duets. Henk and Floor will do Phantom of the Opera, a role he has starred in many times.

[@Jayll1984]

We got the same show in Norway and Sweden as well. It's a great "feel good" show.

Floor is a singing goddess. On this show she sang In German, Dutch, Spanish and English in the first 4 weeks and nailed them all. She can do anything 😍🤘

[@yetiornot5726]

When an angel sings, mortals weep tears of joy. I showed this to my Navy buddy a while ago, had him take a shot of whiskey to loosen him up, sat him down and he was sitting there tryna be stone but tears were just *running* down his cheeks.

[@Belugamori]

Just imaging: Floor is sitting like 10 feet in front of you and singing like that. Man.........i would melt like butter in the sun, really. and i cried so so many tears because of her voice. Tears of joy....and i cannot even explain. Never ever has a voice touched me like hers.

[@kimchi2780]

Been a fan of Floor going on 20+ years. Loved her in After Forever. Seeing her take off makes me so happy. Shes earned it. Shes got such an incredible range from growling Death Metal, to Opera, to tear-inducing smooth cooing. Shes an absolute treasure. Nightwish hit a homerun picking her up. If your skin doesn't bump listening to this you have no emotion.

[@draganakuzmanovic911]

I have to mention that they were isolated in a house, at Ibiza. The goal was to get to know each other, so they could choose the song that means something to each singer. They created very intimate atmosphere, where singers care and support each other, compared to competition shows where's some nasty energy displayed. That's why this show drawn so much attention...and because all of them have a magic of their own. Btw, two blondes made Floor cry, when they sang to her. 😊

[@jaydemetrick8399]

Dutch TV show: Take 7 famous singers of different styles and backgrounds, famous in Holland itself or outside of Holland, stick them on an island to get to know each other, then make them pick a song from each other singer's repertoire or that was an influence on them, and sing it to them. The singer in the "hot seat" has to pick which song blew them away the most. In this case, Floor was singing to Emma (the young blond woman in red) who was the biggest Dutch KZbinr. She'd done a cover of Lady Gaga's Shallow and Floor picked that to sing to her. There is a talk show element to it to introduce the singers to the Dutch audience who may not have heard of them before because they were famous outside of Holland. Almost the opposite of a competition, they're very encouraging of each other, kind, supportive, always hugging, laughing, wiping away tears... it's disgustingly wholesome. lol!

[@eTraxx]

This is the sixth episode, there is one more to come this Saturday. She was on the couch once so that means she has sung to six people. Well worth checking out. #1 Vilja lied - in German .. she is singing to Henke Porte .. Opera, stage singer - song sung to him by his mother #2 Mama - in Dutch - singing to Samantha (her song) #3 Qué Se Siente - in Spanish - For Rolf .. his song .. he is a salsa singer #4 I don't know a thing about love - for Rubin .. his song about parent's divorce #5 Floor was on the couch #6 Shallow as was said, check out the complete episodes translated with English subtitles by Denise Hoff - kzbin.info

She is my number ONE female singer of the world ! Her voice sound full emotions with dept dynamics and color so amazing . I loved her .

[@fnglert]

"What is this show?" - in short, a celebration of music. They take 7 singers from wildly different backgrounds, ages and genres and have them sing to each other, either a song from their own repertoire, or a song that is very meaningful to them. Shallow was chosen by the 6'1" Floor to sing for the episode where Emma Heesters was in the spotlight. Emma is a young and upcoming KZbin cover singer who had a ot of success with her own cover of Shallow. There is no competition here, just singers being asked to sing to each other and go out of their comfort zone. doing so. One recommendation I'd love, Love, LOVE to see you do is Henk Poort - Sound of Silence, a song he chose to sing for Floor. Henk is a famous Dutch Opera singer and basically Floor's ideol. If you want to see what Floor looks like when she's in absolute bliss, and if you want to hear a voice that can atch Floor's own, listen to that one. The final episode of the season is duets, and Henk and Floor are doing Phantom of the Opera. So look forward to that, in a week and a half.

[@rog2224]

I was surprised to find that it's in something like its 12th season. There's also a Belgian version, which is pretty good (I spent some time in The Netherlands so, while I'd not pretend to understand the language, I can mostly follow the Dutch and Belgian shows)

The episode where Floor is on the couch is worth watching, too. Emma's rendition of Floor's old song 'Strong' (from the After Forever days) puts one's finer feeling through a meat grinder.

She did a number of songs on this show, one of which is a translation she and her sister made of deeply personal song by Ruben (The young guy in a striped shirt with the dark curly hair) and she made him almost break down completely telling her "It's absurd how you make everything better" :) That one hit me right in the feels and I had tears in my eyes.

She does truly stir the soul with her emotional presentation in her songs. You should check out her other songs from this show, before this she did 4 different genres in 4 different languages!! She has stunned this group of professional singers each and every week let along the TV audience that tunes in for this Dutch program. Floor is a true Valkyries Goddess as she stands 6' 1" in her bare feet, add those heels she loves to wear and "I look up to Floor" has a whole new meaning!!!

Floor Jansen - Winner. The song was written by Tim Akkerman about his brother that is in a wheelchair but has not let that hold him down.

Look at the photos of her next to the rest of Nightwish, and even when subtracting for 3" to 4" heels, she is taller then the tallest member of that band. Tuomos is supposed to be 6'2" - 6' 3" and she towers over him in those photos. I've worked with a few very tall women and they all try to minimize their height. Floor will often scrunch down in photos to not look taller than the rest of Nightwish. Wanna piss her off? Ask her about her height. My guess is 6' 3" to 6'4". Check this out - she's taller than Tuomos with his top hat. www.dmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/nightwish.jpg . The most she wears is a 4" heel and on stage, more like 2" to 3". Been married a very long time and spent way too much time in shoe stores with SWMBO, so ya, I'm really good at figuring out high heels.

[@Mystress1980]

@@billattercliffe8655 She was asked during an Instagram live chat and said 183cm, which is just a touch over 6ft. I'm inclined to believe the lady herself. Her sister is actually taller than her. Tuomas is listed at 1.88m, so 6'1 and a half. Aside from Floor crouching for stage photos, likely for the photographer's benefit, she's one of the few tall ladies I've never seen try to shrink herself. She wears 3" heels regularly, and those are bloody uncomfortable lol More power to her.

I've already seen people explain "what is this show" so i wont bother with that, but i will add something tiny to it. If you are a lover of real music, then this is the best tv show you can find, no drama, no competition, just plain and simple in setup, with the single goal being real music and real emotions, a celebrations of the love for music and singing in general. This is how quality television used to be, this is what we call "slow tv" (yet an episode flies by as if only 5 minutes have passed) The way this show brings the singers together, gives us these amazing performances. I'd suggest checking out Denise Hofs translated episodes (full) to get an idea about the show and other singers.
