Floor Jansen- Vocal Evolution 1997-2016, celebrating a legend of many vocal talents

A fan video showing the vocal development and diversity of Floor Jansen. She is one of the most well known vocalists in modern metal music today. Floor is currently the vocalist of Nightwish. This was not her first project however. She has been performing since the age of 16, when she joined Dutch band After Forever in 1997. Her vocal style ranges from Opera, growling to clean vocals. She has also

After Forever and ReVamp are best of Floor Jansen in my opinion. ❤

Floor Jansen; the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth, so help me Odin. The greatest non-opera genre vocalist in the world.

[@mmnn9417]

Her voice even fits to Iron Maiden material, it is unbelievable

[@MRB16th]

If time travel is ever achieved, I would take Floor to audition for Iron Maiden in 1993 (after Bruce Dickinson originally left the band).

Nightwish music and song writer was a perfect fit for Floors voice. I like all her work before Nightwish but she became the Goddess as their lead singer. I've seen them 10 times all over the world, I still go as often as possible.

Incrivel, essa mulher e uma das mais comoletas que ja vi!!!

[@LigeiaNoire]

A lady with an immense vocal talent, never really got into After Forever but Revamp left me in awe, not a fan of her "lyrical" vocals as she lacks training but surely would get there but a super fan of her raw, powerful chest vocals, love her romanticide and seven days to the wolves in Nw, even though I long to see her fronting her own band where she can shine. One of the best modern metal singers out there.

[@jackskellington9570]

Ligeia Noire Actually her lyrical stuff is not as advanced some others but pretty good. she just doesn't have the training or stamina to do a lot of it during these concerts. Though there are certain performances with some styles of lyrical singing that she did pretty good even live. like dreamflight. she does that beautifully in many performances. Trial of monsters at graspop she did decently considering. And somehow she does decent with misery's no crime despite swapping back and forth with growls and lyrical singing. So you know. The notes that require the most tight control in a higher range are a little harder to do while on stage head banging with lots of physical activity and now adding in harsh vocals with the mix

[@LigeiaNoire]

Jack Skellington Yeah of course but I am not a fan of her head voice, I prefer deeper, heavier ones but the rest I agree completely.

[@jackskellington9570]

Ligeia Noire so definitely more a fan of the epic belting?

[@LigeiaNoire]

Oh yes.

Wasn't the Evil that Men do from Exoridum in 2003, not 1997?

[@yuribotello3170]

the years are completely wrong! decipher is from 2001, exordium 2003, invisible circles 2004, remagine 2005, after forever 2007... but the video was very well done anyway

[@SymphonicmetalTV]

Thanks for your comment. The years I am using, are the ones the music videos/performances were filmed or released. Not when the albums were made.

Fer Mun thank you! I've listened to After Forever since years but never stumbled across this cover. isn't it awesome how Floor worked on her techniques and now performs this very song with Nightwish? she's legend

that the same feeling I had when I listened to her singing the same song with Nightwish, It would have been awesome if she had sung the song with operatic style just like with AF

If you want opera, Tarja or Floor are great, if you want anything other than opera, there's only one girl for the job. Ghost Love Score Floorgasm is awesome though!

[@Rosannasfriend]

It makes no sense to me how anyone can think Tarja is better than floor. A singer who has only developed her head voice and not her other registers[Only recently has started to] cannot be better. There, I said it!

[@kimberlyh.1090]

@@Rosannasfriend Tarja has always had a well developed chest register. It was a stylistic choice to only use head voice after 2002, then she came back to her roots. (Seriously, wtf are you on about?) And a classical singer is always better than a singer who belts. Pop singers belt.

[@garyballard179]

@@kimberlyh.1090 'Head' voice is classical. 'Chest' is more rocky. And the thing that really makes classical stand out is precision. Tarja is a classically trained vocalist, with minimal music theater training. That is why she failed at chest singing in '02 - it's not in her toolbox. Floor is trained in both classical and music theater, and applies both styles to each other. This makes Floor one of the most versatile vocalists alive. If she had another octave, she'd be *the* most versatile.

Highly overrated
