9:22 "I'm born to do this." You got that right, sister.

[@TolatorFtW]

+Leish Tek All Hail Queen Floor!

[@Tirryna]

Not only is she my vocal idol, but as someone with severe Panic and Anxiety Disorder and Depression (all involved in Burn-out), she is such an inspiration all around! How, even newly being able to cope, she went for it!!!! Many have NO clue how hard it is! And to sing for the world's biggest female-fronted symphonic metal bands with obsessive fans! Talk about bravery!!!This woman is so amazing. Having some Dutch ancestry and being a 6'1 amazon girl with a passion for singing and music, I sometimes wonder if we are distant relatives

[@gimeneztonny3440]

I LOVE OLAF [aka. charlotte]

[@snowwhitebeautyful]

She's not only a great singer, but she's smart as well.

[@GuitarGirl4ever]

Floor is so damn classy and professional when asked about touchy subjects dealing with the band. I love that. Great interview, thanks for sharing.

[@frankford1115]

Classy lady. She knows she is good and in a great band but you would not know it. Did not judge other singers, just pure class. Lovely lady.

[@StarOfArtemis]

for sure. she handled 'what do you think of anette?' really well.

[@ferdinandhumperdinck165]

Which is likely the only part she had to think about/Train for, given her undisputable talent, class and huge performance (not tarhetted at her size!^^)@@StarOfArtemis

[@Zeromancer0]

Floor is amazing woman. She has such a great voice and nightwish now has a true singer with them i hope they stay together with her. This is the best thing to happen to them.

[@chewie2648]

Senythril i agree 100%

[@nazariihirych328]

Endless Forms Most Beautiful proves your words!

[@FutileGrief]

I just love when she talks so openly about her burnout. It's really inspiring

[@userbunny14]

I love that she mentioned she loves Ghost Love Score and she feels most comfortable with it because I just commented on their Waken Open Air video that I was in love with her version of it. You can tell she loves it. Her voice SOARS and the look on her face is absolutely euphoric. I hope she stays with Nightwish for many many more years!

[@loonatic1011]

And that video of Ghost Love Score at Wacken actually was my first encounter with Nightwish. I spent hours listening to all their other stuff for the next couple of days and what can I say - I'm blown away!

Her voice is beautiful, her personality is wonderful too! I like her!!

[@MountainMetal]

Class, humility, intelligence, talent, charm, humor and presence... What a wonderful person. So happy for both her and the band, and for the whole Nightwish and metal community. I love her.

[@Crash_endo]

I'm so proud as a Dutch guy that a Dutch girl joins Nightwish. And what a personality! Go Floor!

[@Grizzlox]

Dutch & Finns have the best musicians on the Planet.

[@thomasmcclenan1776]

The beautiful Floor Jansen.

[@thomasmcclenan1776]

Advertise her well

[@thomasmcclenan1776]

She is so beautiful. I wish I were her servant.

[@demonisvulcutas9878]

After Forever was a amazing group... Floor Jensen is a amazing singer also and i Have major respect for her. Recovering from a burn out. and resurrected like a phoenix Amazing.

[@Sandbek1973]

Retro Review "Recovering from a burn out. and resurrected like a Phoenix" What an awesome way to put it! You're so spot on. Thumbs up for you

[@ufp1701]

I am really digging this group. Watched the Wacken Open Air concert and I have got to say that this blows away anything coming out of the US of late!

[@soundofnellody262]

She really turned Ghost love score into something supernatural. It was always a good, strong song. But Floor made it her own.. gave it her stamp.. and now it's not only a good song.. its divine.

[@fuzzmangr]

This is the best lineup of Nightwish!!! She is great!

[@frozenmistress]

She is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!

[@ClaireDeLuna09]

I don't understand why people are still so hung on Tarja....I loved her but I also grew really fond of Anette and hearing her grow vocally. And Floor in Nightwish is a dream come true... All of them brought something new to the band. That's totally ok with me.

[@smokerain8992]

ikr floor is actually really good

[@kewlbns69]

smoke rain it's too bad her career is almost at it's end. :(

[@smokerain8992]

Kewl Beans how?

[@kewlbns69]

smoke rain well once she gains enough followers tuomas will have their manager fire her. and it usually takes about 6 years or so for that to happen in the past so... :(

[@arthurhki1471]

Most people love the three singers, they just don't say it on youtube :D

[@brontiq]

i was the happiest person alive when i found out she joined the band for good....great singer wonderful performer such a sweet girl

[@metalwulff]

Funny how she mentions transmitting feelings through her singing. I've never actually seen her perform in person (something I plan on changing, given the opportunity), but just watching the live version of "Ghost Love Score" from Wacken, whether it's via the KZbin video or from watching my blu-ray copy of the DVD, that emotion was definitely shining through, just in those formats. I'm almost afraid that hearing her sing live would be a bit of emotional overload, but that's a chance I'm willing to take. Bottom line, Floor Jansen is pretty much my new favorite among the Queens of Metal.

[@peterjohnson9438]

The world needs more people like her.

[@Michellevca]

I just LOVE when interviews are so good. Clever and interesting questions that reveal new detalis. You can definitely tell that someone with true knowledge about NW and Floor's history came up with them.

[@kitznaidu9116]

I love how she mentions that Ghost Love Score means a lot to her. I saw her performance at Wacken 2013 and I cried. That was the song of NW that I heard first and also the first symphonic metal song. I knew nothing about the genre or the band or Floor but the beauty of it all is something I felt clearly and wept.

[@kungsmurfen]

Ghost love score!

[@guillaumesylvain9503]

best nightwish song by far!

[@fuzzmangr]

Ghost Love Floor!

[@SinisterSkip]

Guillaume Sylvain The Wacken version of Ghost Love with Floor was amaAAAAzing! The other version from the latin america show was also insane.

[@ioannischaros3630]

Manos Fuzzman Emotionally overwhelming...

[@ralfmeyer9086]

Ghost at Wacken. The Poet..In Wembley....greatest show..in Tampere🤗

[@8Paul7]

I only discovered her yesterday, but god damn she is effin amazing.

[@robbiegea684]

her technique is from out of this planet!

[@Leishtek]

8Paul7 Damn. Sounds like you've got some awesome music ahead of you to discover. =]

[@andrewichigo]

God she's beautiful....nice interview btw!

[@hansoh01]

Floor is so Classy, Such a humble singer but killer vocals and just amazing. Love score gives me Goosebumps every time.Rock -On Floor.

[@TerryDrumCovers1951]

Smart, strong, pretty, ultra-talented, classy, professional and humble. I have seen her in Nightwish twice and met her once. She is a Goddess.

[@gregchambers6100]

Floor, thank you for your work. I can assure you that you are not the only one who gets goose bumps with Ghost Love Score. We all do.

[@sterketjerke]

YES! A interview with my favorite singer! Yesterday we (the fan club "Sweet Curse") had a wonderful chat with Floor, and now this. It doesn't get any better ...

[@geminigrrl66]

Ger Duyndam OMG, there's actually a Floor Jansen fan club??? How do I join? Is there one in the United States?

[@theaterdreamer]

I so love this woman. Hearing her sing, watching her move. Floor has got it going on. This American guy could sure be happy with a beautiful Dutch lady like that. Thank God for bands like Nightwish, because most of the rock and metal in the U.S. just sucks. The most interesting music is coming out of Europe. So many great progressive + symphonic metal bands. Thank God for the internet.

[@andyowen7636]

The USA has produced great metal bands, Van Halen etc etc..however, the focus is on sales not art, the negative result of capatilism, a band like Pantera, were commercially successful, but scared the shit out of the USA, they were awesome and socially relevant, Europe, embraces art and general culture devoid of commercial success, so in Britain for example, Joy Division are celebrated artistically more than the Bee Gees (a wonderful pop band by the way) because they were better and far more expressive, the fact they didn't 'sell' as much is irrelevant..maybe I'm wrong?

[@shawngillogly6873]

andy owen I don't think it's 'capitalism' perse that dictates this. After all, if a band is outright unsuccessful anywhere, they'll go under. Joy Division was an incredibly influential band, and were commercially viable without being megastars. But in the US, there is a lot more 'top down' dictate from the A&R departments of the labels. This is true in publishing and movies as well.That's part of the reason why when the internet exploded as a venue for sharing and exposing to new music, the album companies here were rocked. In Europe, even before the internet, there was room for regional and national success that allowed commercial viability even if they didn't become 'international.'

[@kaitlinwolf9453]

Agreed, one hundred percent.

[@jzundert]

@@andyowen7636 it,s a american band but eddie van halen that,s his name is dutch

[@anthonytabura6346]

Floor Jansen, is my favorite, female vocalist of all time.. I love knowing, how humble she is.. I wouldn't be surprised if that is why she is so awesome, great..😊❤️🤘

[@keithwright4428]

So gorgeous...and a great singer also.

[@mossycentimet]

she is way cuter than i thought, and i'm so excited that nightwish has a new singer. Since she's really serious about this, i hope they'll stay together 4ever :)

[@dieseldog00]

I haven't watched this video in well over a year, but it still gave me goosebumps(and I almost cried again)when at the last she talked about how Nightwish helped her come out of that depression with all their people gathering around her to show their love for her. Floor Jansen is a very special person which is why she has an Army beside her who they all love her.

[@miekkone666]

you are the best thing ever happened to Nightwish. says fan since Once

[@orlandoberroteran4086]

And we are almost in 2020 and now is the best Female singer of all time , (and male too, she is perfect)

[@peterang6912]

We are in 2022...lol

[@PaulOutdoors]

This wonderful lady and Nightwish have turned my musical world upside down and inside out since I first listened to them live "The Poet and the Pendulum" 11 months ago in 2022, Thank you Floor 🙏😊👍

[@stuartanderson934]

Floor is incredible and its so good to note that she is so grounded whilst having so much talent. Hands down my favourite vocalist.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Hah, funny that she speaks otherwise with English sounds, but when she says "Tarja" she uses the Dutch "R". Love to Floor from Finland, you have increased the range of sounds in Nightwish songs, and every song you have done are simply mind blowing. Congratulations Nightwish, what you can accomplish with her, sky is the limit!

[@liricobarroco]

She’s so sweet she admire Tarjas work ❤️

[@TerranigmaQuintet]

Why wouldn't she? This competition only exists in the heads of the fanatics. The artists themselves only have the utmost respect and admiration for each other. And espescially so in the metal scene, where, as women, they are a minority in a male dominated genre.

[@xeleelex146]

they have been good friends for many years...love them both

[@astral7080]

Match made in heaven, Floor +Nightwish

[@pilorin]

Ah, I ADORE this woman!!! She's so amazing in so many different ways!

What a super lucky incidence, that Nightwish didn't part ways with Anette a month earlier! So much incredible art and thrilling moments the fans, Floor and all of the band would have missed!

She is Dutch?? Wow... her english is more than excellent.

[@loonatic1011]

Most young dutch (and also scandinavians) speak english very well.

[@krismate2895]

@@loonatic1011 Very very true. I'm Canadian but lived in the Netherlands for 6 years when I was a kid. I was very impressed with how well they speak English. Same for the Scandinavians, like you said.

[@loonatic1011]

@@krismate2895 That is what happens, when not many people speak your native language. You'll have to watch movies in English to learn it. If you are interested in politics for example you won't find much in your native language either. I'm in the Netherlands every once in a while and often have a chat in German with locals, which is great too. (German and Dutch are quite similar. Written or slowly spoken Dutch is somewhat understandable to a German native speaker. I don't know if works as good vice versa.)

[@markorollo.]

I find that those who's first language isn't English often speak English better than English people, like me, speak other languages, I can't speak a word of other languages and I had a Polish grandmother! Never heard her speak her first language, wish I had.

[@ShebangsPrP]

@@loonatic1011 Is English language taught in Dutch schools? I always wondered how Floor speaks English very well. I thought she had studied at a private school after she was an adult.

[@10animallover10]

It was just meant to be Floor! They contacted you at JUST the right time, not too soon after the burnout and not too late before she started to truely work again. Yes, it was meant to be and I am so, so happy it worked!

[@Quinkermarine]

Such a beautiful soul as well as being the absolute perfect singer for the Behemoth band that is Nightwish.

[@andysmith5806]

She seems like a genuinely sweet woman. I really like her.

[@jamesoneill1384]

its hard to think she ever had a breakdown she seems so confident and headstrong

[@owlnemo]

I thought she was amazing. Then she said her favorite song was "Ghost love score". Now I kinda want to marry her :P

[@jasv49]

Well, GLS is pretty much everyone's favorite. Anette's favorite, Tuomas' favorite, I think it was Tarja's favorite, 90% fans' favorite... and now her favorite as well. So no surprise there, it's kinda the default pick. :) And I sure don't blame them, because it's a damn awesome track.

[@paolaabril9250]

Is my favorite song too!! hahaha and I wonder why they didn't include it in their Best night wish songs? hahahah …. Is the best! and I love when Floor sings it.. and obviously when Tarja sung it!

[@jwbaccaro]

Jazz1992 My favorite Nightwish song is "Beauty of the Beast."

[@Noubei]

I hate "Ghost love score" :c My favorite is also "Beauty of the Beast".

[@paolaabril9250]

Really? Who hates GLS? .. well anyone can like whatever song.. but woos I never thought that someone could hate GLS.. BTW I haven't heard that song before ( Beauty and the beast)

[@faarao75]

Floor, you are doing GREAT !! No worries :)

[@TBPumpa89]

Floor have a beautiful heart and soul! I love so much this woman. Her voice, sing, performance, femininity, presence, style... all of them! I really hope Floor will singing for so many years for us (with or without Nightwish). Floor totally deserve every support, love, appreciation and respect. I hope one day I meet with her and we can talk a little bit (and thank her for everything includes the After Forever/ReVamp era).

[@edudario1974]

She obviously loves Ghost love Score. Because I think she performs it in a very special way. It's not a matter of her voice, it's a matter of feelings. What a beatiful woman and the way she speaks, so calm, so respectfull. Tha's a realy talented singer and performer who don't need any strange appearance, ridiculous clothes or strange attitudes. She just sings and seems to be a low profile, humble person.

[@villejuntunen5851]

I wish she enjoys the time NW is giving her with her newborn and hope she comes back with NW and will not be replaced. She has lifted NW up the next level. Amazing woman. Smart. Beautiful too.

[@darrylwoodbury]

In a recent interview, Nightwish are taking all of 2017 off and she said she'll be back with them in 2018 with something special. Most likely, that means a new Nightwish album.

[@aliedarook8298]

I do not think Floor is ever replaced. It was Tuomas which to Floor asked if she ever thought of having a child, when she said yes, he told her, then this is your chance because we want to take quite a year. They are happy with Floor. When Tarja was fired Tuomas has also thought about Floor but she was the frontlady of after forever and he did not ask her because he did not want to steal the singer of another band.

[@helavarlden8466]

Yes, what an amazing woman. Her willingness to learn Finnish says it all. I really hope that their group dynamics continue to be as flourishing as they seem to be.

[@kushkong1339]

the video started and i immediately scrolled down. i am not humble enough to lay mortal eyes on a goddess

I see a lot of people doing a lot of comparisons with floor and tarja. I have warmed to floor very quickly, I loved Tarja voice, I have enjoyed olsens voice too and now floor... Its all good. Each singer has brough in something wonderful to the band and the band as a whole are just so bloody impressive as hell.

[@buerger3]

Holy shit, she had burn out syndrome? And she is still performing on that level? That fucking valkyrie has huge balls!
