Mike & Ginger React to FLOOR JANSEN - Adagio

[@stamasd8500]

The melody sounded familiar because it's the "Adagio in G minor" by Tomaso Albinoni, early 18th century.

[@Zentrix-24]

Floor is the ultimate performer who gets better with age. She puts the perfect touch to Adagio the way she builds it up. Had multiple Floorgasms :)

[@tarmotyyri6733]

There's nothing I can say about Floor and/or this cover that hasn't already been said countless times.

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

Floor, the Goddess can hold her own against any male singer in the world. Hail Floor, Goddess of Empathy

[@jjackflash8907]

any singer

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

I believe she made this as a birthday present for Hannes who was doing the camera work (the looks she was giving in that direction no doubt who was the audience for this) and as always give a shout out to the music by Tommy Johansson. A common issue raised is the vocals mixed too much in the background but this time I believe it is intentional as the music builds her vocals build with it to the climax of the song. Good reaction.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

👍👍

[@Slick-ng5kf]

Glad someone else had that thought...there are definitely some very ...shall I say deviously sexy...looks given and how her interpretation of song/lyrics was more of an excited/anticipatory feel than pining or longing. Probably how they both feel when away from each other for long stretches on the road.

[@MustaLaatta]

[@mantailuaa]

This song from its instrumental is really old, only the lyrics are modern days product. Instrumental dates back 1700’s and it was played in many movies and funerals before Lara made it popular with lyrics. Well said Ginger, Floors voice hits you like a hammer, but we love it!

[@warre1]

Yeah. Albinoni's Adagio was played with organ at the end of my father's funeral.

[@Beatz-he5xe]

Floor is a gem isn’t she. Cover from Lara Fabian. Enjoyed your reaction onze again! The dimple made me fall in love with her all over again...hahaha

[@uueyeam6398]

Originally it is a classic piece - Adagio by Tomaso Albinoni - In 1970 the Dutch symphonic rockband Ekseption scored a modest hit with this song, Lara Fabian made it into a beautiful song and Floor Puts some extra urgency into it.

[@frenkwd1]

wow what a voice. Thank you again for your Reaction.

[@craigdebug2464]

I was equally haunted by "where have I heard this tune before?". I went through a few of Sarah Brightman's albums that I have and sure enough, Anytime, Anywhere is based on Albinoni's adagio as well. Loving all of these great works!

[@MikeandGinger]

Oh! Maybe that was it! I do love me some Sarah Brightman! - G

[@wimg.2377]

Hi Mike, Ginger, Thank you! I just love Floor's performance here. Spine chilling all the way, goosebumps on goosebumps on goosebumps. I reckon, the way Floor masters a song and song lyrics interpretation, and projects this, that she actually would make an incrediblay great actress as well. The chin dimple is a lighting thing, BTW: light from the side highlights it :). It is hard to see with lighting from all directions, and or light from overhed just in front (like a concert). And yes, I am into photogrpahy as well, for 58 years now . Love you, warmest regards, Wim

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

The French band Adagio should write a song and name it 'Floor' 😛

[@TedinCalgary1952]

Hi! Thanks for the review! Some happy news! As of two hours ago (would be about 5:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time) Floor has posted: "Busy recording videos for the KZbins -- 🎥 New year, more singing!" ... So Ginger's comments about the Covid-19 effects were right on! Some notes: I have watched virtually all the reactions to Floor's Adagio now, and the vocal coaches reactions and Commenters are about equally split between Floor's and Lara's versions (Lara certainly has her own "Army" -- ha ha). Here in Canada, we are happy to be able to support BOTH singers: don't forget Lara, born in Belgium, is a naturalized Canadian since 1995 (the Canadian Encyclopedia notes: "Fabian made her first trip to Quebec in 1991 and moved there permanently"). So on Lara: 1) she is getting lots of attention with people reacting to Floor's cover of her, and will get lots of NEW FANS who are fans of Floor and Nightwish, but were not previously aware of her; 2) the most requested song of Lara's by Commenters appears to be "Je Suis Malade"; and 3) RESPECTFULLY: I know you say in the review you have reacted to one of Lara's, but I did a word search of your posts and I couldn't find it: could you give us a source and we will check? Finally, on the Lara vs. Floor commentary, everyone don't forget that this is one of Lara's SIGNATURE songs, with which she often ends her live concerts, so Floor is very much on Lara's "turf" in doing it. To be completely FAIR to both singers in comparison, we would really want to see Lara cover one of FLOOR'S signature songs as well. But really the best would be to see them on stage together: can you imagine Floor performing with Lara, the same way that Floor combined with SIMONE of Epica in "Sancta Terra"?? We would pay big bucks to see that I bet !!! Keep well ... T.C.

[@MikeandGinger]

We did Je Suis Malade, and I ended up taking it down because the commenters were really hostile. I got tired of the insults. She’s a lovely lady with a killer voice, but her fans did not appreciate our humour and I felt bad about it. We’ll do another of hers soon, but I don’t love walking on eggshells. - G

I have just come across a song by Floor called Slow Love Slow. Jazz/Blues and beautiful. Having seen this I would like to see her cover Ella Fitzgerald or Aretha Franklin.

[@stevenhopwood8195]

Being Canadian I’m sure your heard of Lara Fabian, this is one of her songs. Lara does a great job as is a fantastic singer and Floor proves once again she can perform anything to the highest levels. My two favourite reactors doing a song from my favourite female singer, just great. Have a great day ❤️🤘🇦🇺

"Albinoni Adagio" (composed by Remo Giazotto) is a famous tune at funerals and some movies (usually instrumental). Lara Fabian's version (1999) is the most famous one with lyrics. Our Floor does some vocal athletics there. And it's great! ⛄👍

@Barbara Although I know there are a lot of people that will disagree but I also think Floor’s version has the most passion and emotion, so yes......Floor👍!

Tomaso Albinoni Adagio is used in the si fi movie Rollerball staring James Caan it is one of the most emotional and beautiful pieces and fits the mood of the part of the movie perfectly.
