REACTION: Alone - Heart (cover by Floor Jansen)

[@Shamankzn]

Floor does not have vocal chords.... she has vocal cables!

[@scottanderson7302]

Floor did several of these covers during the covid lockdowns. She couldn't perform and she knew everyone was affraid and trapped in their homes so she started doing covers and posting on YT. They are all worth checking out. I suggest playing them from her channel.

[@anaguq4651]

'Let it Go" in her version from the Disney movie Frozen! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2nWZ42aq6aZh80.... And how about Floor with ÉLAN live in Amsterdam, 5 march 2022. Such an uplifting song. If this doesn't make you smile and happy.....nothing wil! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHSThaWhr9Kqaac

[@gabriel.bardac]

Think that Floor posted 9 covers for us in her YT channel during the lockdown period, when many of us were absolutely alone, isolated. You have no idea how you feel when you are alone, on Christmas Eve 2020, and Floor gives you a cover of "Ave Maria" from home, together with the Christmas wishes of her family!..

[@anaguq4651]

"Let it go" from the movie Frozen, an absolute must see and hear!

[@shadegate6660]

They were one of the high points of lockdown for me and one of the few things I really remember from those dark days. A real beacon of light.

[@stpfs9281]

Yes Gabriel, that made Christmas extra special, also knowing that there were thousands of other fans watching as well.

[@h.vanschaijk4189]

😅I always love the last second. She looks in the camera like: did you get that? We're done now? Can I go get my coffee?

[@chriso6719]

'Wow' is right. LOL. Floor more than does the song justice. This was recorded in her home studio during lockdown. Sir Joost van den Broek (ex-After Forever, her first band) on piano. Her husband ,Hannes van Dahl ,I believe, is filming. Heart's version is a cover as well. Original by I-Ten in 1983. Hannes is the drummer for a Swedish metal band called Sabaton. Most of their songs are about military History. If you want to check them out, try the videos for Christmas Truce or Bismarck.

[@pancentricism]

When you watch Christmas Truce by Sabaton make sure you watch through to the end. A lot of reactors stop when the credits start to roll and miss the best bit.

[@matzek.3220]

And you will see and hear Sir Joost van den Broek on keys again with Ayreon's "The Day that the World breaks down" which Kim has already requested. Oh, in case it wasn't obvious I concur to that request☺️.

[@FromG2eminor]

NW makes your face melt, Floor makes your heart melt. I absolutely love the piano on this one. Please do Shallow next....

[@Duskwind_]

Yes please 😁 Use this version uploaded by Avrotros, it shouldn't get blocked kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2eboZhqlsRssM0 Tissue warning applies.

[@javadan]

Yes - you must do Shallow, and don't forget the tissues.

[@BOOMBiggityBam]

I concur, Shallow from beste zangers next!

[@wimg.2377]

I concur.

[@anaguq4651]

Winner from Tim Akkerman got me so emotinal because i have a special son! Such an uplifting song!

[@scottanderson7302]

did you see what her shirt said? It says I'll howl and I'll roar because i'm not affraid anymore.

[@dixie3086]

And now you need to meet Floor's husband, Hannes Van Dahl. Check out Sabaton's Christmas Truce. Hannes is the tall blond man in the beginning. And also stay for the credits. You'll hear a surprise voice. And it's a great story and video. Sabaton only does war history songs. May sound weird, but they are great. They are from Sweden.

[@martinkasper197]

You can hear another great Floor performance at the Credits... 🤓

[@optimusakc]

@@martinkasper197 well it's not a surprise anymore lol

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Floor first done this cover when she was younger in her first band After forever and after posting the song online a very famous special person replied and that person is Ann Wilson herself letting Floor know how much she loved it. Imagine how Floor must of felt?. Coming from such an icon. Now if Ann can recognize Floors talent so do us fans. Thank you again for an enjoyable semi emotional reaction.

[@frankmerris8821]

wow never knew Ann commented on it

[@mraijmann59]

@@frankmerris8821 o yes she did

[@jonathannerger9126]

I love that Floor makes singing this and belting those high notes look easy while sitting in a rocking chair!! Such a flex move from the world’s greatest female vocalist!

[@tompickles9798]

I concur

[@leemarinus]

And when in a corset... jaw drop

[@kentk2215]

My favorite of Floor’s covers during lockdown was M83’s Oblivion. Alone was actually written and recorded by a band called i-Ten about 4 years before Heart covered it and made it famous. Floor is my favorite singer ever, but Ann Wilson might be second.

[@PaulOutdoors]

Yes Floors cover of Oblivion by M83 is also my favourite cover of hers. Floor is the best singer that I have had the good fortune to hear, ever. I also love the original sung by Susanne Sundfør. Floor said that Susanne has a dreamy voice. She's right 😊👍

[@olias056]

After hearing Floor do this, and her vocal range, it makes me appreciate Ann Wilson's voice and performance even more.

[@Blablablagailshell123]

I love LOVE her Euphoria performance on beste zangers.

[@BenjiReds]

Hi Debbie you should react to Floor’s cover of Adagio

[@alleninfinity6730]

Her voice is so magnificent, and she is just so humble and sweet about it.

[@tonv912]

Floor is blessed with a beautiful voice. We are blessed hearing and enjoying that beautiful sound

[@bennybuffylove]

We should give Debbie a real heart buster. Floor Jansen with ReVamp - Disdain Live at Graspop (2010)

[@constantinmiclea3955]

Floor is a generational performer: A Living Legend! After you listen to 'Dead Boys Poem" from "Live from Buenos Aires 2018" concert you will understand why. Hint: have a box of tissues handy. She will wreak your soul more than she already has...

[@Duskwind_]

I've been a fan of Nightwish since Oceanborn, but Heart was always my favorite band until 2013. I would never have believed that anyone but Ann Wilson could ever do this song justice. Then one day Floor casually sets up a mic in the shed outside of her house, hands her husband a camera and sits down in a rocking chair... And absolutely owns this song.

[@joser6798]

You should hear Floor sing “How’s the Heart “ acoustic with Troy in Planet Rock. This is probably the best song that demonstrates her vocal ability.

[@Kelsea-2002]

At Floor, it always looks so easy. Even if she holds a D6 for seconds without her voice is shaking.When God had distributed the talent, Floor must have called HERE a thousand times!But not enough that she can hold this high note safe for so long, she also has the gift to put an insane emotion into it.This distinguishes a good singer from an artist.

[@vlinder6329]

Queen 👸🏻 FLOOR ✨💗💗💗💗💗✨ What a Voice 🙏

[@marianogonzalez1977]

You need to see her whole Live in Amsterdam concert. Just gorgeous from start to finish. It's in her channel. Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina!!!

[@whirledpeaz5758]

3:05 I had to chuckle. I couldn't possibly hit those notes as a Baritone/Bass. The crazy part of Floor hitting them is, she is sitting down.

[@lisso71]

This is a video. Probably not sitting when she recorded the vocals to the video 🙃

[@sebastienwaslet9440]

She's magic She can do all what you want... That's why she's the Best singer of all times And first.....a very down to earth person Hi from France 😚

[@humphreyterveer1338]

There are many vocal coaches and reactor channels on youtube who, after hearing Floor, were entirely blown away by her vocal qualities. Many of them think Floor is among the top female vocalists in the world. i entirely agree; Floor can sing opera and everything in between. There are few, if any, female vocalists who can do that she is one of a kind!

[@TimoArula]

This song always gets to me....And of course Floor's vocals will hit you like a freight train!!!! NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😍🤘.

[@countgeekula9143]

Love Floor's little nod at the end, saying, "Yep. Nailed it." 😁

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Well, this is probably my favorite of Floor's Covid -times covers. She's done this a couple of times before. But this version more mature - vulnerable and still powerful. The grand piano is provided by her long time friend and collaborator SIR Joost van den Broek (After Forever, Ayreon). ⛄👍

[@floorfan7987]

I'm a 54 year old man from the USA and Ive never heard anything like Floor !! PERIOD !!!!!

[@bonez9160]

floor jansen, what voice she has. INC! ❤

[@rdmrdm2659]

“Chills me to the bone”

[@pmasher]

This is what Floor was doing during lockdown :P The heart version is also a cover you know :P

[@phillipgross1887]

Heart has always been one of my favorite groups, and Ann has tugged on my heart strings with this one, along comes Floor, she doesn't tug on heart strings....noooo, she yanks on them, and brings me to tears, doesn't matter how many times I listen to this.....that's just Floor..........love her

[@spikenelson6669]

this her biggest tear jerker for me...gets me everytime. God its so beautiful

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

It's her old friend and bandmember from After Forever and ReVamp - Sir Joest Van den Broek on grand piano Floor and Joest goes way back and are close friends. In my opinion - this is by far the greatest version of this song ever - and Floor and Joest have done this song in several occasions earlier!

[@athlonen]

She's gonna do it! SHE'S GONNA DO IT!!! 😂 - Marko Hietala She performed this on a cruise Nightwish was on, with Marko, Troy, and Kai Hahto. It was one of first times she played this live, and everyone pushed her to make a full on re-recording of this after she first covered it with After Forever. When this was released, none better than Ann Wilson herself said that Floor's cover of this was the best she had ever heard, and wanted to get into Floor's music... not bad for some unknown singer from the Netherlands. 😉

[@antoniuswidantoa.s3413]

One of best singer in the world🤘🤘🤘

[@stpfs9281]

Remember that she is singing it to her husband (behind the camera) as well as us! Her Wolf T-shirt... That look and nod at the end, yep, nailed it! She treated us to qquite a few covers over lockdown. Ah, The Charismatic Voice, Elizabeth, she's great.

[@anssiroiha2267]

She is amazing!! Her commitment to each and every song she performs is just beautiful❤ Her story telling is just great!!

[@johnterry1852]

Floor does an amazing job with this song. Just FYI, this is not a Heart song. They did it as a cover as well. It was originally done by a group called i-Ten in 1983.

[@andrewkenny6119]

Hannes, Floors husband and drummer from Sabaton does all of Floors home filming keeping it in the family.

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Hello my fellow HOG family!!! When Heart covered this song I was like "Great", then Floor covered it and I said "WOW", but then Tommy Johansson covered it and I was totally BLOWN AWAY!!!!

[@davidcook482]

Wow! Thank you for posting this. I hadn’t seen it yet. What a beautiful cover and great reaction to it by you. My expressions nearly matched yours while listening to it. Haha….

[@ytcag2007]

Hi again. Well as luck will have it, this is not a song by Heart. The original writers of this song are 2 brothers from the group "I - Ten". Heart did their cover, now Floor. By the way, I your laugh makes me laugh. lol Back to the video. Ahh, just Floor and a piano. Can never go wrong there. One thing I absolutely love, admire, and respect about Floor and her home and solo videos, is that she's literally singing the songs while recording the videos when 99% of the other singers are lip syncing or singing on a lower note. I found this out when she was doing a cover of a song and heard her singing the song while the vocal track was already playing back. Well, it was video her husband filmed of her while she was recording a cover and their dog wasn't letting her sing because he kept barking. 😂 That's so cool! Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤️🤘🤘

[@nateniemeyer3286]

You should check out her covers of "Oblivion" and "Agape". Awesome work from Floor!

[@Osnaz]

Хорошая реакция.. 😍😘🥰

[@helli0n824]

just pure eternal ❤

[@michaelnolan6951]

I mentioned the covers that Floor performed during lockdown in her home studio (I believe I specifically mentioned her Disney covers.) As always, her husband Hannes was operating the camera. Their home on a little farm in Sweden is almost unbearably cute. I posted a link on Patreon that lets you look around.

[@martyschreuder6034]

See Floor solo at beste zangers, its a dutch show and she did a couple of songs there. 😉

[@christinaalgate4899]

Love her Owl Tattoo. She's Awesome. Joost is playing the piano and he was in After Forever with Floor.

[@kevingunning7569]

The piano accompaniment was played by Joost van Den Broek, who was the keyboard player in her band 'After Forever' and if you ever take a chance on reacting to Ayreon, he is the concert MD and keyboard player on all of the live concerts. Heart' version was a cover of the I-10 original of course, but this is a great interpretation.😃

[@Dipper737]

How come she's not the most famous singer in the world?

[@David-yo5re]

Hey Debbie, she also did a cover of Let It Go from Frozen. You definitely have to check it out. She is utterly amazing.

[@birdbranch]

Hi. Just love the reactions. The wonderful piano part is played by the talented Joost van den Broek. Keep up the good Work. Love from Sweden.

[@PomLimey]

A brave decision to take on a classic song sung by Nancy Wilson one of the all time great female singers. She sang it at a slower tempo that the original and with just a piano accompaniment so there was nowhere to hide. But Floor just nailed it. She has this ability to wring every ounce of emotion out of each word. If you want to hear a real powerhouse of a performance react to Floor’s cover of Lara Fabian’s “Adagio”. Looking forward to the next southern word of the day!

[@markartruc2660]

Just the beginning of this journey ❤️

[@syjonesy]

amazing😍 her performance makes singing seem so easy 🙂 she's just a queen 👑 metal queen🤘 . I recommend listening to Alone - Heart (Cover by Tommy Johansson) 👌 even Floor commented on it because they know each other😊. Her husband plays with Tommy in the band Sabaton. you will definitely like its cover too👍. Thanks for the video🙂

[@evergreendorneymahoning5435]

The piano is played here by Sir Joost Van Den Broek, the keyboardist that was with her in After Forever, her first band - he has never really left her musically over all of these years

[@willemvanwijde9991]

Floor is an amazing singer. I have ordered her debut album on pre sale and can't wait to hear it complete. Just a suggestion. But you should listen to "How's the heart"... Make it a double feature. First the lyric video and then the acoustic version. Warning... Keep breathing..

[@marjalap793]

Great reaction...i love the cover Shallow ( Lady Gaga) from Beste zangeres 2019...i'm not a fan of Gaga and Shallow was on every radiostation, so i was long done with that song. Then Floor coverd the song by herself on the show and i was crying my eyes out she naild the high notes like it was nothing!! And Eufhoria, is also a great cover!!

[@johnmc128]

Good one.

[@Rbdesign_2]

You know what you need to do. You need to check out Tommy Johanssons version. He will sing your socks off in his version, just AMASING!!!

[@papaverweg]

....great followup song for this would be Floor's M83 - Oblivion cover from same studio series 🫡

[@Mischnikvideos]

The covers were created during the pandemic and are an interim solution. She didn't know if she should do a solo album or a second Northward album. That's why they were recorded by her husband Hannes, who discovered a new talent in himself.

[@_zuri_]

Yayyy the covers! I hope you'll also check out her doing Adagio. It's my favorite ♥and I know you'll just love it.

[@RonniePeterson]

A very special voice indeed.

Ann Wilson is one of the greatest female vocalists out there, to do her songs justice you have to be... one of the greatest female vocalists out there, or you have to be Floor... that'll do it. ;) I had some trouble getting into this cover tho, not the vocal parts.. those are immaculate, but the stripped down piano arrangement i had to get used to. (but now i love it!!) I mean.. it's Floor we're talking about, she can sing anything, even sang a part of the phonebook and rocked that lol

[@renecrumley3146]

After listening to Floor🌷for the first time, almost 20 years ago, any other vocalist means nothing to me. I told you dear, you ain't seen/heard nothing yet from Her.. 😁🤪😍❤

[@TheMateriaalkunde]

That scream in the song.. Always the hard part for singers. And Floor does this seemingly without effort and even adds extra's to it. And that piano player.. Cant be anyone but Joost van den Broek. Producer of Epica and musical director of the Ayreon live opera songs. Joost played keyboards in Floor's band After Forever. He has an uncanny sense of timing.. This is the opening song of the Ayreon opera The Electric Castle.. Only the utimate talented musicians appear in it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGe8d5Wdgt-ekLs And the demise of the Egyptian lady (Floor appears as guest): kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipPIk4Jrd7-cY6s

[@torbjornsjooander5625]

Maybe you should react to Tommy Johansson A good friend to Floor and his cower of Alone Tommy is the leadguitarist in Sabaton The same band Floors husband Hannes playing in Tommy is also the guy behind the music in a lot of Floors cowers Tommy is an multiinstrumentalist and is cracy talented He have his own youtubechannel with a lot of amacing cowers A real rabbitwhole And don' worry He have the range And by the way In my opinion Floor is the greatest singer and entertainer all time And I am so happy that people in the states have start to listen to her and understand how great she is

[@joeparker9516]

Okay, after that you need to watch Floor's appearances on the DutchTV show Beste Zangers (Best Singers), specifically her cover of "Winner" the writer is part of the audience, right there with the rest of the artists for that season. Tim Ackerman? wrote the song about his brother who is a paraplegic after an accident. Her performance brings tears to Tim's eyes. And she does performances for each of the other "contestants" on the show. They each do this in turn and they are ALL excellent performers. Now, the speaking parts are in Dutch, so without CC turned on, if it's available, are useless. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqXJgqSkqNCHhZo Enjoy.

Floor is a treasure. She can sing anything...and do it spectacularly! I love your reactions...they are so honest and heartfelt. And here I go again with the same suggestion I made on a couple of other videos...Leprous - Castaway Angels kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmbHo59vYtGkiLc. It's not often that I call a man's voice "beautiful" but the singer of Leprous falls into that category...along with Dimash (but he's an altogether different story...my god, what a voice HE has! I'm sure you will react to him one day and it will hit you hard, I tell you what). In the meantime, keep up the Floor/Nightwish vids...there are plenty to pick from. Cheers!

The covers were created during the pandemic and are an interim solution. She didn't know if she should do a solo album or a second Northward album. That's why they were taken in by their husband Hannes, who discovered a new talent in himself. Because we talk about him all the time and he's hard to see in the live videos: SABATON - Christmas Truce (Official Music Video) He's the first face you see. The album was created during the pandemic and Floor can be heard several times as a background singer. Here she sings in the credits.
