Reacting to Floor Jansen of Nightwish - Shallow | Beste Zangers

[@bobgross8761]

The 2019 episodes of this Dutch TV show are available on KZbin with English subtitles. All of Floor's performances blow the rest of the 'cast' away. Also, there's a week where all the others sing to Floor. A few of them are very moving. Thanks for this one.

[@MaddyReactions]

Ooohh

[@Columbasta]

@@MaddyReactions Here you go. This was her first one on that show: "Floor Jansen - Vilja Lied (2019) + intro and outro (With eng subtitles)". More English subbed intro/outro where that came from! Enjoy!!

[@bujin1977]

@@Columbasta ^ This one, cos it was the first time most of the other artists had heard her sing and didn't know what to expect.

[@skeezesmith7954]

This is a Dutch TV show where each season they take seven of the best Dutch singers, and they sing each other's songs or a song that means something to the featured person. The featured person sits in the middle couch and listens to the others. Emma in the red dress was the recipient for this week. The Netherlands is not big on metal so all but one of the guys (green and white striped shirt) had even heard of her. Henk Poort is one of her heroes, which was one of the reasons she did the show, and he didn't know who she was. He was in the hot seat the first week and Floor sang the first song of the season to him. She sang Vilja Lied. Partly straight and partly metal. It was a song his mother sang to his father and brought tears to his eyes each time. It blew him and the rest of them away. The faces of surprise are absolutely priceless. She did a duet with him on the show. Of course it was Phantom of the Opera. They have performed it live on stage many times since then.

So cool!!

[@billmorrison8292]

@@MaddyReactions Floor is an Empath and while she builds a song technically it is important to her to convey the emotion of the song. Check out her versions of Alone and Adagio from her KZbin site (Floor Jansen). Lots of other content on the site including her solo album.

[@bertjones3010]

Highly recommend. If you do more on Floor try and find her live performances. So much more organic

[@vogel2280]

And important to the concept: each singer is from a different genre: singer songwriter, folk, metal, theater, YT-singer, salsa. And since they sing to each other they sing cross-genre which sometimes give us both of best worlds.

@@MaddyReactions Floor is so well-trained and talented that she can just focus on emotional delivery and does not have to think about technique almost at all during the actual performance.

[@bertjones3010]

Simply put, Floor is a master of her instrument. From the restraint during the opening two verses, the insertion of a vocal fry, to the restrained belt, her control throughout delivered the performance she wanted and floored the audience including us.

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction, Maddy! Floor is a powerful metal singer, but she can sing any genre. She surprised the other panelists because most of them knew little about her.

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Great guess The Beste Zangers show is about a group of artists gather and take turns performing for each other. It could be a song you wrote, one from your favorite group or artists even a song from your childhood you loved. Floor sings in a few languages on this show, Dutch, English, German, Spanish Floor is super talented and it was this show that helped Floor to make a more pop sounding solo album.

[@humphreyterveer1338]

Floor is a charismatic story teller and a real artist!

you should see more from this. it was a show where everyone sung songs for each other. It wasn't a competition, just singing songs. She sang a song in German(?) and Spanish. The others only knew that she was a metal singer, they had no idea what she could sing, and she blew everyone away.

​@@MaddyReactionsbeste zangers is an overstatement for this show. Floor is exception, the rest are mediocre at best and Jan smit should be jailled for his terrible crimes to good music.

[@124Spider5]

Something that you should know about FLOOR JANSEN. She started singing in a symphonic metal band at just 16 years old. After Forever (1995-2009). Then she created a new Progressive Metal band, ReVamp (2009-2016). In 2018 she released a personal Hard Rock project (Northward). In 2012, she was invited by Nightwish to finish their world tour, after the band's second female singer (Annete Olzon) left. In 2013 she became Nightwish's full time lead Vocalist. She is a singing teacher. She sings in Dutch, German, English, Spanish, Finnish, Swedish, Italian and Latin. She sings Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, Pop, Rock, Symphonic Metal, Aria and Opera. She even sang rap. In March 2023 she launched her first Pop solo album "Paragon". THE BEST SINGER TODAY IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

Floor has a lot of great material from when she was on Beste Zangers. Basically everything she did was masterful. My favorite was her rendition of Vilja-Lied, but as I said, all of them were world-class performances.

[@Cnith]

It's a show where singers take turns being the center of attention and the other singers either do interpretations of that singers songs or favourite songs from other artists. The song Floor sang was one of the favourites of the young woman on the couch called Emma Hesters.

[@MaddyReactions]

Oh wow!! That’s such a sweet concept

[@theglanconer6463]

Oooh you will like this show. They sing each other songs. In this show Floor sings English, German, Dutch and (for the very first time in her life Spanish (and very insecure about it at first :) (German) classical, salsa from the Dominicans, Dutch tearjerkers and of course the Phantom of the Opera) (all with English subtitles, except the Phantom ) Such a lovely lady. Our Dutch valkyrie. I saw her for the first time aeons ago (before she joined Nightwish) at a metal festival, hmmm so good (a bit more heavy than Nightwish though :) Anyways, brilliant reaction and cheers from the Low Countries.

[@papaverweg]

Hello Maddy, although this may indeed be translated as such, it is less Best Singers but more Dear Singers. "Beste Zangers" contains even more remarkably good songs, performed by Floor, but also (the others) for Floor.

[@MaddyReactions]

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

For me the most amazing song Floor sang was Que Si Siente from the same show. A song in Spanish , a language she doesn't speak. In front of the guy that wrote the song. Completely out of her musical styles. The metal Queen just slides into a latin groove so easily and you can watch the writer/performer's head explode.

[@loulagro2315]

The show is not a competition as you probably have discovered, it's a showcase of Dutch singers enjoying and paying respect to each other. Each artist has a week of performing, and they sing one of the other artists songs to them or they can dedicate a song to them, as in this case. Floor dedicated Shallow to her fellow artist (the gal in the red dress). By the time of the airing of this show, 2019, Floor was already well known in her genre of music, having been performing on huge stages all over the world since the mid late 90's in two big symphonic metal bands and of course Nightwish. The funny thing is that in spite of all her experience and exposure, she was NOT a well known singer in her own country........ Well, suffice it to say, this show changed all of that!

[@user-vv9it9ye4g]

You MUST listen to her sing Winner on this show. It was written by Tim, another artist on the show, about growing up with his handicapped brother, and how he prevailed in spite of his disability. It's beautiful, and will bring a tear to your eye.

[@alantidwell7889]

You should react to all of her performances from Beste Zangers. Look for the versions with English subtitles and including the intro/outro bits where they tell you why they chose the song and the others react.

[@petrabierlee2151]

beste zangers - dear singers. No competition. Singers singing to each other.

[@MarcovandenHout]

I think it is 'best singers', but referring to the show inviting the 'best singers' to a remote location and sing each other's songs and songs that inspired them. It's not a competition like The Voice.

[@DavidPChristian2]

Not a competition, they were all, with the possible exception of the host, established professional singers She's been on the Dutch and German versions of the show and if the show had winners she won both.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

"Beste zangers" can mean best of dear singers (both is correct). The show is not a competition. Good Dutch/Flemish singers are invited to the show on a remote location. They must come alone, no spouses, no manager, no children, nothing. They stay there among each other to build a group feel. They sing each other's songs, or songs that they indicated have been important for them. One singer per episode is in the "hot seat" and is the focus of attention, that singer does not sing in that episode but is sung to by all the others. In between songs there are short interviews and conversations that can go deep and emotional. It is NOT a competion, but on the contrary, a feast of mutual recognition. The show's recording takes 10 days, 2 days of repetitions and 8 days of shooting??? The last episode is without hot seat and everybody sings a duet with one of the others. Floor Jansen dislikes competitive singing as it disregards the effort and talent of everybody but the winner. There is no audience, just the camera. This particular show was in a tent at Ibiza island in the mediteranian sea.

Yes I think its in the same show listen to her duet with the man sitting there (Henk Poort) of Phantom Of The Opera, or you could try listening to her version with "Nightwish". Although I prefer the Nightwish version from earlier with Tarja Turunen.
