Vocal Coach Reacts! Floor Jansen! Euphoria @ Beste Zangers!

[@tsiouparoglou4493]

There's no air blowing, it's the Force surrounding her. She's a Jedi Master.

[@SSTVocalCoach]

😂😂

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

Good one, lol

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

It's the Floor surrounding her. May the Floor be with you!

[@petriblomqvist3838]

Not the Force... the Floorce.

[@TheMightyOdin]

This comment thread is great!

[@hamohamo8270]

Cover Floor is much cooler than the original, Floor is a goddess, everything she sings becomes divine.

[@aekelly]

ooooh, no....sorry. Chocolate and vanilla and all that, but Loreen's has so much more passion and energy and emotion.....to me she's just trying (and succeeding obviously) to sound impressive....not exude emotion.

[@chriscross2473]

I shared this song with everyone i know xd I liked the original, but when Floor gets her hands on a song it is a different story.

[@annhelensjostrom9065]

It's a Eurovision special of Beste zangers. Floor just had a surgery so she filmed at home, couldn't travel.

[@Roller4x4]

Yeah, she really lost a couple of Stones...

[@eTraxx]

@@Roller4x4 Inside joke

[@macgillie4560]

I was thinking about the different takes. Shot in her singing/music studio at home. Not particular ‘photo or film studio’ situation with more video equipment to create the angles.

[@ChrisPage68]

Shoutout Marcel Fisser Band. Great arrangement, great musicians and backing vox. 🔥🤘

[@gerdavandergeer6835]

Yes, a very, very good Dutch band

[@Sadistiq]

Floor is divine! Also, the band and the backup singers are amazing and such a great fit with her.

[@robgerhardterellen1488]

6 Ft. Valkyrie Goddess of Metal with again a great cover song.

[@VulpesObscura]

She brought the EuFlooria big time.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

4:52 You had really good point about her changing the tone but not the note on "higher and higher and higher". I hadn't noticed that earlier but you're obviously correct there! Loved the technical term, too!

[@vlinder6329]

Yessss FLOOR IS ALLWAYS AMAZING 💕🥰

[@richardk.4503]

Yes! i agree the dress/shoulder bit distracted me too but all in all she delivered another stunning performance.

[@akashvankessel1249]

Elegant power ....yes, that's very well put. Great reaction. Tx.

[@DC88_]

Time for The Netherlands to send Floor to Eurovision :)

[@marjabieze7757]

😁 i don't think thats fair for the other contenders they never stand a chance 😊

[@tragicsupergirl]

Would guarantee 12 points from Finland :)

[@flavio_spqr]

Might as well give her the win, right off the bat. It's not even a competition.

[@DC88_]

From a dutch interview from 2019: Floor Jansen has recently been mentioned as the ideal candidate for the Eurovision Song Contest of 2020. According to the singer, however, she simply does not have time for that next year. "I have not spoken out about it before, but I can say that I will not do it this year. I am way too busy with the new album and the Nightwish world tour, but I still think it is an honor that people would entrust it to me ", said Jansen. www.nu.nl/muziek/6020474/floor-jansen-over-eurovisie-songfestival-dit-jaar-nog-niet.html

[@7Rendar]

Floor belongs to Sweden now, no take-backsies!

[@Rosannasfriend]

This is probably my favourite cover by her. The most that she has touched me since some of her early songs in beste zangers. I love it!

[@MrBielok]

Good one Sam! I was waiting for your reaction. Somehow you make sense... Thanks for this.

Some say there's no fan blowing. It's her hair doing that by itself

[@Slick-ng5kf]

I think the technical term you were looking for is mindf*#k with that “higher” part. She’s really a special talent ...elegant power is a great description. Side note: I’m glad you are doing better from your pain issues and able to toss out the pain meds... believe me I have seen multiple great people/friends lose everything due to opioid addiction from injuries, etc. also, so appreciate your willingness to discuss this to a bunch of strangers like me here on YT. Massive respect to you and hope your healing journey continues. Really enjoy your reactions and descriptions of how/why singers sound the way and do the things they do...also who doesn’t love a Scottish accent???

[@sleeepwalk]

The effort is on the training and dedication... That causes the effortless singing...

[@sleeepwalk]

And I forgot to say, I'm a fan of your reactions...

[@devoneagle1966]

Euflooria! This song has always made me happy, but this, THIS? Wow.

[@yonikolova]

Yes, your right . Amazing! Have a FloorGeous day ! 🌟

[@fermytube]

Hello, I love your reactions/analysis. When she is about to nail a super note, apart from taking those positions that you mention, she always puts her hand to her head, maybe it is her way of activating the super power, thank you, she reacts to Trival live, new Nightwish video that went up as a gift to the community, bye

[@materidouska286]

Floor is incredible. No matter if you are a fan of heavy metal, hard rock, classical or else, she is admittedly one of the best female vocalists of this generation. Original song sang in Eurovision was ok-ish musically, but bombastic otherwise because of its great staging and choreo. This version is a totally different animal - super!!

[@Musicality-66]

Great catch, Sam, about the dress on and of her shoulder. I saw it too, the first time I watched this video. None of the other reactors I’ve watched, noticed that. I think it took a few takes to record this video. But nonetheless, beautiful sang by gorgeous Floor! Can’t wait see and hear her with the rest of Nightwish live at the end of the month at their virtual concert! 💕🤘

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

She is the Goddess and commands the wind...🤩 No need for a ventilator 😎😎 Side note; nice hair colour Sam.. like it

[@liefde1911]

She is a miracle.....

[@phils866]

From what I have seen on youtube, this performance by Floor seems to have grabbed the attention of the reaction community more than any of her previous masterpieces, including Oblivion (still my fave, so far). No surprise though, it is stunning. Hard to believe she had surgery only a couple of weeks ago, and here she is, looking better than ever, and sounding as good as ever. Whatever her recovery regimen is, I hope she keeps doing it!

[@ralfmeyer9086]

I mean, it is not a pre-recording. You see the Marcel Fisser Band played in the BZ Studio.

[@SSTVocalCoach]

I respect your opinion but I disagree. A few bits to look out for are at 1.15 on the original video the fan isn’t on, then at around 1.19 the fan is on after a cutaway, with no time for the fan to get going. Then at 1.36 the drum fill you hear doesn’t match what’s played, there’s a Tom hit missing. (You might have to slow the video down to see it properly, it’s the hit just before the symbols) I think that the band are playing along with whatever was sent in (or they sent a track for Floor to work from) but it’s definitely at least 2 video takes of Floor (fan and no fan) and the live band playing along with what was sent in. Either way, I’m not hating on it, I thought it was fantastic, just sharing my opinion on it 😊

[@ralfmeyer9086]

@@SSTVocalCoach ok i have another opinion. in one year, we know it. 🤗 greetings from northern Germany. And Stay safe. Forget, she was in her home Studio in Sweden. That can be make the different.

[@dylin0018]

Floor recorded this at her home because she couldn't travel due to surgery. She recorded several versions of the video and pieced different visual parts together. The show played the video and had the live band playing along with it.

[@jacquelinesleegers6839]

That's the concept of Beste Zangers. Google Floor and "Phantom of the Opera". That is unbelievable!

[@Cassboney]

I am a Floor reaction nerd and I never saw your reactions. Gonna watch 8 Reactions now see ya~ :D

[@maggan2808]

Amazing voice and a great cover of Euphoria. Love it! But I love Loreen's original too. She might not have the best of voices but the way she portrayed the song, the emotions you can hear when she is singing it is just 👌 (and that sometimes trumphs a superior voice).

[@aekelly]

oh my gosh, yes! I don't know what you mean by not the best of voices (not arguing the point, as someone who isn't a singer I'd like to learn)...but like you said, the emotions you can hear when she is singing - to me, hearing the emotions vs not is what makes hers a much better performance, imo. Maybe technically this one is "better" but it just doesn't do anything for me.....(note: I'm one of those uncultured types that doesn't like opera - LOL!) ;-)

[@maggan2808]

@@aekelly Yeah, not a big fan of opera either 😁 Maybe I worded it a bit wrong with regards to Loreen, I meant that she might not have the strongest of voices but only if compared to others out there. Singing, as well as dancing, has to "touch" or mesmerise me. That's what Loreen did with Euphoria.

[@Paul_C]

That version of Beste Zangers will be retransmissioned on Za 16/5, 20.28u; ‘Beste zangers - songfestival’ (Bron: Ster) #songfestival

Then the BIG question will be: will Floor be in it this time? Because she wasn't in the original TV broadcast.

Have a Listen (and maybe reaction) 2 Floor 10 years ago, doing Puccini´s : O Mio Babbino Caro with her former band Revamp. Her rendition of Vilja, in Beste Zangers, have shown ya a bit of her operatic skills. And this 1, imho, does so even more : Floor Jansen (Revamp) : O Mio Babbino Caro, live @ MFVF 8

[@AlbertZonneveld]

It is probably true that the video is a compilation from several takes. I asume they Floor and Hannes have one high quality camera at home so it would require several takes to get the takes from different angels like the are shown in the video.

[@peterboon8316]

Definitely several takes to compose the video. There's a mix up with floor's arm in the part where she sings " higher and higher...." she raises her left arm in one shot. It cuts to the frontal shot where her right arm is raised..... Never the less she and Hannes did a good job . And the production team of Beste zangers made a great edit with the performance of the band and the other guests. The result is epic!

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@peterboon8316 Unfortunately, the audio was messed up at the end. The cymbals of the drums come and go from the mix in the end. The version on Spotify sounds much better even though it's supposedly the same recording.

Rule #1 for a singer: don't let Floor Jansen cover your songs. Don't! Never! No! Great reaction. I must confess, I hate the eurovision song contest. In my eyes, this is a political farce. And I did not know the original knowingly (maybe I have already heard but forgotten. Because mainstream stuff) BUT: as soon as the name Floor Jansen and cover appears, all alarm bells ring with me! Good work. Keep it up.
