Happy Easter - FLOOR JANSEN & SIMONE SIMONS - Stabat Mater Dolorosa LIVE | REACTION

[@music2seeconcertphotograph457]

Now you should listen to their duet "Sancta Terra" also from this concert but so different and powerful. Greetz from Germany and rock on

[@shuriken4852]

If you can believe it, this was in the middle of a metal concert for the 10th anniversary of Epica with full orchestra and choir. You will not see this in pop music, only in metal do they have the balls to do this.

[@martinehermans6661]

I wouldn’t call Todd Rundgren pop, but his concert with the Metropole orchestra at Paradiso Amsterdam was magic. And in the Uk: Night of the Proms. Coming to think of it, there have been numerous Dutch bands performing with orchestra: fi Kensington & Direct at the Vrienden of Amstel live. I can find you the links if you like? Furthermore, at Beste zangers you can find an opera singer out of her comfortzone with Lose Yourself, Eminem, nailing it and popsingers trying their best at opera. I never used to watch that program until Floor smacked the glass ceiling, started watching previous years and, I must admit, loved it... oops 😇🤘

[@shuriken4852]

@@martinehermans6661 I was not talking about the orchestra per say, but more doing a 13th-century Christian hymn in the middle of modern show.

[@martinehermans6661]

shuriken48 True, you are right. And.. metalheads are usually the nicest crowds too

[@MsCristyn83]

Happy Easter to you and your family! :) Amazing performance, I really like it long time ago :)

[@arnaldotanta3630]

When angels sing.

[@harrybroaddus846]

Sancta Terra is another wonderful duet by these two from the same concert.

[@buddasquirrel]

You were right. Haunting and beautiful. Great video, thanks!

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Floor and Simone 💕💕💕

[@knutruther4964]

Not bad for metal singers I love both ,Floor and Simone !!!

[@fdsannie]

Thank you for this. It was something I needed today. Floor and Simone are best friends. Floor was a vocal coach and helped Simone with a couple of techniques. Take care and stay safe.

[@jandemanist]

first time i hear this aswel beautiful!

[@nm84ncsu]

Epic. Utmost respect for their vocal talent. Can’t wait to hear more!

[@joop558]

Very appropiate for Easter.Mayv=be a part of the new album of Nightwish, Shoemaker, the end of this song you can hear Floor in all her glory, shivers!!!!

[@mdudley52]

Floors rich voice is perfect to sing the alto part.

[@roykliffen9674]

I believe her part was actually meant for a counter tenor.

[@mordenwyldanebonbolt8729]

"Haunting"? Yeah, it's a lament. if it isn't haunting or moving, someone's doing it wrong. Good on Floor for thanking the Concertmaster, too. I don't think you're quite ready for Spem in Alium or Handel's Messiah (yet...), but slowly we will lure you down yet another rabbithole. *rubs hands together and cackles maniacally*

[@masonblack3461]

That was a beautifully done curtsy, indeed.

[@antonijamorticia6200]

Epica- Chasing the dragon Nightwish-Ghost love score Xandria-Valentine ❤😛

[@masonblack3461]

The funny thing is that when the great composers of the time were doing their thing, they (and their fans) were the metal heads of the day. If you want to see another great duet check out Epica - Sancta Terra. Also with Floor but it's not quite the subdued masterpiece this is.

[@timhutchinson8485]

Happy Easter!

[@Anna-ts7lc]

Happy Easter Jase hope you have an awesome one and you have way too much chocolate stay safe, much love

Recently subscribed. Loving your channel!

[@michaelbarnard3732]

Hey if you want a couple of Epica suggestions the first one is Cry For The Moon and the second one is The Phantom Agony, both are totally EPIC (punn intended) lol. Love your reactions. P.S. When we gonna get more JINJER? ;)

[@8888ronaldo8888]

This is about 700 years old Christian verse. Maria (Mary) is crying at the foot of the cross, from which her son was dying.

[@martinwillfor1416]

Thanks for getting the facts about the music right at the start, and giving Giovanni Battista Pergolesi due credit!

[@Dmitriy_Sobolev77]

cool loud sound dude. i like it

[@christinaalgate4899]

Hi. Happy Easter I like listening to the two of them. At Christmas time Floor and Marko do a duet of Ave Maria also there is a video of her singing O Holy Night in Finnish I think and she is 6 months pregnant with Freya. This song was too short. On the new album you can her Floor's opera in the song Shoe Maker.

[@jukkap.5722]

they are actually the best friends in real life :-p

[@marielaoquendorodriguez670]

React to Consign To Oblivion live ❤️

[@shadow6269]

React to Epica Consign To Oblivion Live Zenith or Unchain Utopia Live

[@estebanrojas3798]

reaction epica cry for the moon version studio

[@jamescurfman3284]

YES! That is one thing that came to mind for me as well. And during that same studio session, Simone also covered Memories, from Cats. She's SO AWESOME! I think she was like 19 in those videos?

[@black4pienus]

They are besties. Both classically trained and both Dutch metal goddesses. Something Floor Jansen did solo is Puccini - O mio babbino caro. It's also classical. Check it out or make a reaction vid.

[@timhutchinson8485]

This is a hymn that dates back to, I think the 13th Century?

[@johnhitchens5632]

Yes for the lyrics, tune is baroque (18th century)

[@BruderSenf]

@@johnhitchens5632 at first it was a poem but became a religious hymn around the 14th century (if i remember correctly it was then banned by a pope and reinstalled in the 16th century)

[@hiawatha.g]

Thank you Jase, I knew you would love it. Yes, check out Epica. Floor also has other duets with Simone--these are often the gateway to fans of one discovering the other. Happy Easter to you!

[@cornflowerofsweden1288]

To save you some searching on KZbin, here are some links: Epica and Floor, Sancta Terra: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXzNpKqQbtSobrc Floor singing Puccini: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5a3qnSQqbtoras There's a Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers. They collect a bunch of well-known Dutch singers and put them together and let them sing for each other. Some years it's OK, some years not. 2019 they invited Floor (who is Dutch, even though she's in the Finnish band Nightwish and lives in Sweden) and the show was a super-success and Floor suddenly became famous in Netherlands (Dutch radio NEVER plays metal, so she wasn't known there before). This link will give you an insight in the show and it shows the first time the other mainstream singers met Floor, our Metal Queen. It's good, it's hilarious and it's fascinating. I recommend taking a look at Floor singing some more Opera: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWWloWqbra-onNU

[@cyberjarl]

Happy Easter! They do another duet in the same show, Sancta Terra. It's an original song by Epica and more metal so I recommend checking it out ;)

[@mix6809]

loved the reaction tnx. u really need to react to the song preceding this one in the show, sancta terra, with floor...

[@richardhall6034]

Hi from the UK check out epica sancta terra with floor Jansen another one from the same concert

[@jennanoelle2656]

You gotta listen to more epica they are incredible. If you want song suggestions my favorites are consign to oblivion and the obsession devotion. But pick a live version because they really go hard with the guitars and drums in a way that they don’t on the recorded version

[@jeffc8965]

This was mentioned before, but I'll repeat it. You should react to these two singing 'Sancta Terra'

[@roykliffen9674]

Floor has a formal classical education from the conservatorium. Simone - of Epica - not so much. But she did have some classical training though. Her vocal coach? Floor Jansen. They have been good friends ever since.

[@robertcraane7910]

Eock or not? Yes, opera was always rock....

[@anitalicata6719]

Just found your videos and they're great! You should react to conan gray

[@JustPlanoRick]

Floor Jansen is a gifted operatic soprano - check out her rendition of Puccini's classic aria "O Mio Babbino Caro". It will blow you away.

[@ArvoR]

not the best example, watch same song by death metal band Mayan singer Laura Macri kzbin.info/www/bejne/i320aWhnhJyjnLc (ok, cheating, shes the real deal opera singer)

[@ItsMe-pw6vl]

Happy eastern. Getting the know Epica you really have to start Floor's metal duet with Epica. Its from the same show as this song. It will blow you away. - Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show kzbin.info/www/bejne/mamVY4yrn5ehsMk

[@epicabrasil7462]

React to Epica universal death squad (Official lyric video)

[@ronaldboers8061]

If you want to get a nice impression of the range of Simone and Epica then start with "Chasing the dragon" from the same show. it starts out soft en melodic but slowly build to real symphonic metal. The song itself was inspired by the Johnny Depp movie "From hell" and is about drug addiction. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqmQd6Z-drZ7ppo

[@Dmitriy88S]

they both the soprano

[@mmagic4070]

Please react to the Hu

[@Paul_C]

Maybe you should check a channel before asking, he all ready did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZyunmqVfqxlbtk

[@mikebohrn6070]

Kingdom of heaven official video or unchain Utopia official video

[@BDawborn]

Go for Consign to Oblivion or Kingdom of Heaven. These show what Epica is all about. Don't just listen to the Floor fans asking for Sancta Terra, it doesn't really show you what Epica have to offer.
