Floor Jansen interview (with subtitles!) and Puccini Aria Live in Tiende van Tijl 2013-1-2

Floor Jansen sings Lauretta's Aria, O Mio Babbino Caro from Giacomo Puccini's opera Gianni Schicchi in a Dutch Television Program called 'De Tiende van Tijl', broadcasted on January 2nd 2013. This video includes a short interview with the host of the show Tijl Beckand. With English subtitles for all the Floor and Nightwish fans to enjoy!
She has sung the same Aria in the same program in August 2010 and it is so great to hear how she has improved and how her lyrical voice has matured. Floor has proven that she has a wonderful Soprano voice just as Tarja has.

[@danyhimura]

The only singer who brings me tears in any musical style ...

[@thegreenmanalishiyamadori371]

Me too💝💝💝😭😭😭

[@Reenji]

Oh my goodness. I wish everybody saying that Floor can't sing opera parts properly listened to this. Wonderful! Her voice is so light and amazing...

[@Laili5424LovesSymphonicMetal]

I'm a trained Opera singer myself and three of my teachers sang with Maria Callas. But I believe perfectionism killed Opera. Floor is doing wonderfully and if only more classical singers would be humans of flesh and blood like Floor is, then Opera would still be popular. However Floor has chosen well to sing in Metal bands even though she is a trained classical singer. The vast number of Floor and Nightwish fans proves it. Without people like Floor and Tuomas, Opera would be dead and forgotten.

HELLO LOOK ALSO BESTE ZANGERS 2019 HENK POORT & FLOOR JANSEN OR A NUBER WITH TIM AKKERMAN

[@cancelled_user]

Also watch Floor Jansen - Vilja Lied (her rock-ish rendition of it), it's so beautiful.

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

Let´s not forget her predecessor,- Nightwish´original singer the classical soprano Tarja Turunen. Floor has had classical training and can sing in a classical lieder style,- Tarja was a through and through classical opera singer and can sing actual Bel Canto,- there is a difference.

[@unpluggged]

@@ulfdanielsen6009 Tarja is a classical crossover singer and she never sang opera. She herself pointed out numerous times that opera is too demanding for her.

[@taurusguy9305]

Also, Therion and epica are one of the metal bands that helped the symphonic (opera singing) metal genre alive

[@alanfoster6589]

You can see whatever she is singing about simply by watching her expressions as she sings. A true artist is possessed by their work.

[@xKasumiChan]

No wonder Tuomas chose this dutch goddess. She can sing anything. She could sing me WC freshener content and I would still have goosebumps.

[@tony6896]

Should have asked her 2006...

[@Crogatho]

Nightwish is the best thing that happened to Floor, and Floor is the best thing that happened to Nightwish

[@curry389]

Agreed

[@Rhythmwatch]

👍✌️👍✌️👍

[@topneorej]

Match made in Heaven (hell;-))

[@tylerspunucious7420]

Yes and no. That first line album is amazing, and showed what they're capable of. Endless Forms is highly boring, and flat. I'll take any After Forever or Revamp album over it.

[@ederthegreat9142]

After Forever = Floor doesn't need shit More like she saved a sunken nightwish after Tarja's depart.

[@BedMau]

Floor is the gift I didn't know I wanted in my life.

[@jeffk1482]

You meant "NEEDED in your life", right? 😅

[@Filpiovano]

0:30 - Love the look on the little girl’s face. Especially when she looks at Floor in the studio as if she can’t believe they’re the same person.

[@Laviesurladentelle]

+Fil Piovano hahahahaha really funny part XD

[@aleoreh]

I can't believe it myself too! :)

[@alphaomega9650]

She is truly a one of a kind person. The more I learn about her the more awesome her story is. How many people can be in a heavy metal band and sing opera flawlessly. How many people can sing recorded albums and sing them live even better? The short answer is not many, she is one of a kind.

[@jeffk1482]

I noticed that right away too - and love it. My thought though was the little girl is thinking "Oh yeah. That's me in 15 years!"

[@MikkoRantalainen]

I wasn't sure if we was comparing the screen to Floor or looking around the screen about all the flames, skulls and lights.

[@mramd9062]

Floor is the most complete singer i've seen ever before, this performance is amazing! I love Floor and her voice

[@boxheas1]

Floor can sing whatever she wants and sound awesome every time!!

[@hamstermunchies5558]

Haha, nice profile pic ;)

[@boxheas1]

Hamster Munchies haha just Floor's beauty. Thanks :D

[@hamstermunchies5558]

If that is the same outfit she wore during the Showtime, Storytime concert it was coming undone at one point around her chest. (And no I wasn't staring at her boobs, I'm just observant like that.) I guess the outfit couldn't contain her awesomeness lol. I kept hoping a crew/band member would notice and discreetly try and do it up for her before she popped out completely. While I don't think any of us would have minded it would of been embarrassing for her.

[@boxheas1]

Hamster Munchies Loool I hadn't noticed! But yeah, I'm sure that definitely any of us would have minded xD After all, everything went well. I just hope to see new and original outfits as I'm sure any of them will make her look awesome :D

[@boxheas1]

Hahah definitely!

[@nicksantus5307]

Still maintain Flor Jansen is the most amazing musical instrument available today Her voice transcends everything. So pitch perfect so pure colourful melodic harmonies You name it she has got it. Best singer in any popular musical genre and possibly classical and operatic to. She has been truly blessed. with vocal abilities

[@mohdamranrahim4077]

watching this in 2023 and i still amaze by her voice, talent and humbleness.. you r the best imho..🌹🌹🌹🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾♥️♥️♥️

[@rcreynolds6186]

I knew she could do the operatic thing.... but damn, she really is THAT good. Holy moley what a versatile artist!

[@Phase42]

I just love the expressions on the faces of these opera fans when they're showing her singing metal. I went through that same thing when I was playing the bassoon in an orchestra, but was into metal, and all the violin players were all "classical".

[@brendasnow6024]

Floor is an absolute bad ass! So impressed! Even though I do believe in god given talent, the time and effort it must have taken to develop that talent must have been daunting! Floor is a true entertainer, and I wish her the best:)

[@islgrl292]

She is the best! Thanks for this beauty! ❤️

[@MrDijaru]

My Queen de best live Singer in the World .👏👏🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@Alderbeck]

Love this clip it shows all the haters what she is capable of and in no way inferior to any other singer. Floor can do it all ;-)

[@Aurinkohirvi]

What haters? There are haters?

[@swordmonkey6635]

Who on God's green earth hate Floor Jansen? Even Tarja and her and friends. Floor is Love. Floor is Life. :-)

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Okay, one month later: yes unfortunately there is a civil war among Nightwish fans. And most fans active in KZbin at the moment seem to be Floor's fans, and unfortunately I have to say they are very toxic and belittling towards Tarja and Anette. Zealous Floor fans at the moment are the worst thing in the Nightwish fandom.

[@gingerspringshow]

How can anyone think she is inferior ? Different, yes, more in a rock style performance with Nightwish if you compare to Tarja. But the term "inferior" is zillion light years away from Floor.

[@gingerspringshow]

@@Aurinkohirvi Well, this is in a way understandable. Tarja is unique, and gave the band it's original touch, and Anette.... is Anette. But Floor comes in like a genie out of a bottle, saves the day, and gives band a whole new dimension, which will last. The Wacken 2013 live is a good illustration of this. She put Ghost Love Score at a level of artistry which is eerie. Not to mention the way she deals with the rest of the repertoire, and her on-stage presence. So people are completely bewitched, and therefor irrational in their criticism of Tarja, which will remain legendary. Vintage Nightwish ages well. But right, now, as far as the stage performances are concerned, they are on another planet.

[@astral7080]

One of the greatest artist of the last centuaries

[@maxmattt]

She looked absolutely stunning in that dress, I love that she left her nose ring in. You can take the girl out of metal but you can't take metal out of the girl. Song starts at 3:24

[@mofrakker]

Further proof, that Floor Jansen is one of the most versatile singers on the planet. Thank you for uploading Laili! :)

[@Laili5424LovesSymphonicMetal]

You and all the other Floor fans are very welcome! Usually we Dutch people are very down to earth and modest, but I think Floor deserves it to be admired for her talent and beauty. So whether she stays with her band Revamp or with Nightwish or with both: keep on shining and rocking Floor! We all love you!

[@AndyHeimerl]

you´re so damn right. she literally blew me away, when i first heard her with nightwish, thank you for sharing with us this wonderful aria and this insight in floors talent. thanx

[@arthurlocattel6931]

Floor is an amazing singer... ever since nightwish dismissed Tarja i thought the band "lost" something, but with Floor they got that "something" back... with interests! I enjoy her voice even more than i do Tarja´s, amazing woman. And not that it matters, with a voice and personality like that, but she´s not that bad to watch either... wow

[@hamstermunchies5558]

Her version of "Ghost Love Score" at Waken 2013....I can't even describe how it made me feel. I always knew she could sing but that performance just blew me away! O.O

[@sambell385]

Arthur Locattel: and she seems so sweet and pure and not full of drama haste or any negativities

[@looking4herr]

She is unbelievable. Her voice, brings tears to the eyes. And NIGHTWISH needs to keep her a part of the band. She brings the best out in all I feel. ROCK ON Floor Jansen !!!! I cannot get enough of you!

[@MrPetzold123]

Thank you very much ! And BIG THANKS for english subtitles ! Floor does wonderful promotion for Nightwish without even being full member, yet ;-)

[@MaurizioIcioTirinti]

What a voice, great Floor Jansen, Italy is proud to you, Brava

[@NunzioSandra]

I love Floor Jansen but Italy has also a Floor Jansen: Cristina Scabbia.

[@thuringwethilvaire6772]

Nightwish you've done so well ;-; that voice.

[@hamstermunchies5558]

I hope they know how lucky they are! Tuomas, please don't blow it.

[@nimedhel09]

I hope they'll use it as much as they can, and not only the lower notes, but the operatic ones too, because this is just beautiful, even though not perfect (but hey, she's no professional opera singer, and this is greaaat)

[@Agrivandal]

nimedhel09 I'm sorry for you :p

[@nimedhel09]

Arrivendel Why is that?

[@Agrivandal]

coz tuomas did not use Floor's range in the new album :/

[@peterstclair2610]

My god what a voice there are only a few singers that can do justice to Puccinis music and this is wonderful!

[@themetalchef]

She is amazing. Thanks for posting.. Love the New Nightwish. So close to what most love from the past era.

[@rafaelgonzalez7075]

BRAVO...That was beautiful! I'm eating breakfast and almost stood up clapping

[@8484terry]

haha great comment, that made me laugh!

[@ralfmeyer9086]

OMG, this Woman can deep growls too..QUEEN FLOOR

[@stephenlesenko3799]

She's fantastic, no other words needed, love her!

[@k1tajfar714]

Need this in HD quality.

[@salamanderpete]

She is amazing. Can't wait to see her sing live later this year :)

[@EmilyHasTheCheese]

This is incredible. I love Floor, Nightwish and the song Aria!!

[@farkas419]

I'm not sure if I have EVER heard this aria sung so beautifully. Oh Floor you are are amazing!

[@cd0u50c9]

She's a top lass, brought a tear to an eye of a dude that really doesn't listen to metal with melodic vocals. This goes to show that in the majority of cases musicians choose metal not because they can't play/perform other types of music, but because they prefer it and have a passion for it.

[@hoklavatbey]

She is out of this world I tell you. Out-of-this-world!

[@TheLadyMarguerite]

So beautiful, so much passion and this voice really goes deep and touches my heart! She is really an allround talent. Thanks for posting!

[@spinettabootlegs]

Wow, just droped a few tears, amazing talent. Knew her from Nightwish, didn't know she was able to sing like this.

[@Harolddespui]

She did some amazing operatic parts on Wacken 2013/Tampere 2015 you should know what she can do. ;-)

[@dutmusic244]

Awesome vocal range! Very strong vocals!

[@MrRelentlessBoy]

i think i'm in love! Nightwish have themselves an amazing singer.

[@alucard7123]

she gave me goosebumps.

[@mlady6564]

She looks so gorgeous in the video! Always does, but especially this performance.

[@henrylorenzo7602]

My goodness, she is stunning.

[@longboardguy]

Beautiful lady and personality it seems and I like her alot in nightwish its made me enjoy them more now!!

[@dimmutaker]

I agree. He didn't do a research on her before inviting her to the show. She's been around for a long time in the metal scene, and it's stupid for them not to know that.

[@bigboycombo6342]

Wow, her range is insane. Good job as usual.

[@PHO27031979]

Amazing a dutch who is the new singer of Nightwish! I'm amazed and proud! Very beautiful! She can bring back Nightwish!

[@lhshnailed7523]

Floor is everything💛

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

0:40 The confident look of a woman who has performed to more than 1.5 million people and long since proven herself now being interviewed in a room full of middle aged and elderly secretary sheep who has absolutely no idea of who she is and what she can do. Morgaine LaFey again walks the earth,- in the shape of Floor Jansen the Goddess.

[@Metlhed420]

That is one tall, talented, gorgeous and sexy woman. Wow.

[@Metlhed420]

I guess the old saying is true - beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And, behold, she is lovely.

[@Droogie128]

Hamster Munchies Because they're idiots. She's an Amazon Goddess

[@sasharenee1196]

+Metlhed420 i completely dislike who ever is saying that crap. she is amazing.

[@JedyjEdyjeDyjedY]

+Hamster Munchies shes so artifical.. like a robot, she has no character, her voice has no special colour, she is jsut taught how to sing and thats all. she shouldnt be allowed to sing opera

[@SeriesTube01]

+Robin Blieck Agree Floor has the sweetest smile but shy?? Definitely no, man. She might be the introvert type, not the same. :)

[@edwardkenemorales]

Floor is just an AMAZING singer. I am so astonished by her versatility in singing. O.O

[@hamstermunchies5558]

Yes I am now confident there is nothing she can't sing. When i 1st heard her voice I heard "Here's my hell" 6 months ago and I thought while she was pretty good I didn't think she had much range...boy was I in for a surprise. It was then I heard her sing this, "Ghost love score," "Alone," "Monolith of doubt," and I absolutely shat myself when she pulled out the death metal growls on "Wild card." I thought she was freaking possessed! O.o

[@Snarl616]

If I was there listening to this sublime voice, I would have probably passed out. Absolutely incredible.

[@tsiouparoglou4493]

If I was there, I would pass out even before she opened her mouth, just by seeing her. Her presence alone is unbelievably breathtaking.

[@kapingakasongo1838]

I find in your Nightwish music several. There are two really good women with your powerful voice staying in the head excellent his gives energy to continue the eternal life very powerful to listen to Thanks Floor Floor Jansen

[@brendasnow6024]

Floor Jansen is just so incredibly talented! She's a rockstars, rockstar! Just beautiful:)

[@nikeldan]

I love this woman!!!!

[@forsaken196984151]

In my opinion, Nihtwish found the way to Heaven, an angel can lead them. She is amazing, she is beautiful, hot, sexy, smart. She know at least three languages I guess. She is a great metal queen singer. Really, I fall in love with her.

[@Acrum99]

Hamster Munchies I think her English sounds so great, the best of all Nightwish singers!

[@herrmannheuer6480]

Marcus Abrahamson she is not bad but tarja was better in NW and puccini

[@Acrum99]

herrmann heuer I meant that her English is the best of all Nightwish singers. When it comes to singing I have no favourite.

[@hamstermunchies5558]

3? I'm aware of 2.

[@Acrum99]

Hamster Munchies You are?

[@janamaj]

It’s ...so ...beautiful 🥺

[@Eldar45665]

She is so perfect. It's been pretty much 10 years that I fell in love with her voice and beauty.

[@Mad9977]

so cool when you can shut down haters with an Aria 😎👍

[@tony6896]

She is wonderful in the beginning of this aria.

[@Bocapreto]

Dutch people's faces all like we don't like metal. It's a shame, because Floor is Holland's best kept secret.

[@ayshaooms7223]

Ikr? I'm dutch and everyone around me hates metal. -.-

[@longboardguy]

That sucks

[@ayshaooms7223]

Indeed, but I guess that I'm just gonna have to live with it.

[@Leishtek]

What the hell? You guys produced Epica and Ayreon. Are you fucking kidding me? = [

[@Leishtek]

***** Holy Hell I forgot about them. Delain I'm not too big on, but the rest of those are class acts.

[@patrickmeylemans9627]

What a voice and what a passion and all above that what a nice person, nothing but ✊

[@muf6861]

In the beginning when they starts playing the video of Floor singing with Nighwish in leather costume, that little girl looks at the video, then looks at Floor (in her nice dress ready to sing opera)..then back at the Nightwish video (you could almost hear her brain explode).. ROFL priceless.

[@NinaMazeo]

3:20 omg, her voice... omg... I can't even...

[@psychedelicpain420]

Metal mainstream in Finland?! O.O *packing bagages to move to Finland*

[@PuluP_Music]

Believe it or not, but there are more metal bands per capita on Finland than on any other country. The country, that holds the second place is Sweden with only half of what we have in Finland! And every Finnish band that has been successful outside Finland has either been a hard rock or metal band!

[@psychedelicpain420]

Rasmus Marttila Wow...awesome. Are you from Finland yourself?

[@PuluP_Music]

Atheist Metalhead Yup, there is a reason to be proud of being finnish!

[@psychedelicpain420]

Rasmus Marttila I know, I would be proud myself too. And what a coinsidence, my fav metal band of all time is Finnish!! :D

[@johnroush1099]

Metal is a lot more mainstream in Europe altogether. Genres like country, rap/hip hop, and pop are a lot bigger in America but relatively nonexistent elsewhere. Of course, pop is big in Korea and Britain, but not too many other places.

[@ManicomioSangrento]

No female metal vocalist before Floor Jansen has deserved the term goddess

she is a stunning singer.
