Did you guys know that Floor just opened for Metallica on the first night of their world tour (April 29th) at the Johan Cruijff Arena (over 50,000 fans) in Amsterdam, Netherlands. She got a standing ovation after her show. Henk Poort even joined her for Phantom Of The Opera

I have been fortunate enough to see both Nightwish and Iron Maiden live. They are two of the best live groups ever. I cannot choose between Floor and Bruce. They are amazing for what they each do. What they do is completely different. Bruce Dickenson and Iron Maiden are the epitome of British Heavy Metal. I've seen them over 10 times and its a family reunion every time I see them. Everyone in the audience knows each other. We see each other at every Maiden show. You guys have to make it a Maiden show. You'll be family as soon as you arrive. Floor has the greatest vocal range since Freddie Mercury. Only Ronnie James Dio and Rob Halford (Judas Priest) come close to her. Nightwish has played for over two hours every time I've seen them. You are emotionally and physically exhausted by the end of it. They give off so much energy and the stage show is phenomenal. They play the US just about every year, so check them out if you have a chance. Or make it to Wacken where you'll see over 75,000 people singing every single word of every single song. Its on my bucket list of shows to attend. Music is Life.

Floor Jansen at Wacken Open Air 2013 is just unmatched at any level of performance,stage presence,crowd interaction etc. And it doesnt hurt that shes the most gorgeous thing i have ever laied my eyes on!😍Its a reason why we jokingly have named her a Norse Viking Goddess. And i grew up with all the greats,i was heavy into Metallica and all of them. But Nightwish with Floor aboard? Come on man,it just hits you differently! This is theyr best lineup by far,and its really emotional for me still that Jukka the drumming Pirate has this as his absolute favourite song,and this was his last big official concert for them,before the insomnia forced him into a timeout,a long one. But its also kind of beautiful,how he got to end on the song he loves soo much. Now granted,there is footage of him doing a 1 song return,when he felt good enough to do 1 song with them,and the band waited until it was time for Last Ride Of The Day,to have him come on. So his 1 song comeback,was also on his favourite song. Puts a tear to your eye,when you let it sink in. No disrespect to Bruce,i consider him a beast of a vocalist and his energy level is out of this world. But he has never pulled me in and kept me there,like Floor has. And its not an entire woman/man thing,i love Devin Townsend,Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell almost at the level of Floor,but only Devin is still among us sadly. I feel like Devin and Chester would be my hardest competitors up against Floor,making it more difficult for me to name a winner. Main reason is how they perform,Chester also never had vocal lessons he was just a "make it or break it" type of vocalist,burning his vocal chords every concert for Linkin Park. Just the fact that he had the voice he had,pretty much self taught,makes me hold him higher then f.ex Bruce. I know Bruce could have beat Chester technically with ease,im not thrasing him by any means. But there is soo much more towards Chester,he had that spark that Bruce for me doesnt have. That personality,the realness,the loving and caring aura,and feeling every note he sang. I wish Bruce got me like that,as for the record i love Iron Maiden and my favourite song being Fear Of The Dark,preferably live from Argentina,where the crowd creates this insane extra sound to the song. Im seriously impressed by how long they have kept it going too,they have my outmost respect! Floor Jansen is just the complete package,i even consider her above Freddie Mercury and that has stirred up alot of people. Hey they love theyr Freddie like i love my Floor,at least i respect theyr personal taste in vocalists and music. Was it too much to ask for them to respect mine in return? Music is not religion nor politics,just a heads up.

No other singer, male or female, has ever made me feel the music like she does. And of course I am super biased. I have been listening to Floor since she started singing in After Forever back in the late nineties. I have been to many many concerts, and had the opportunity to talk with her afterwards several times. And she is so sweet, down to earth, modest and kind. I can't help but love her :)
