Vocal Coach Reacts - Floor Jansen - Shallow | Beste Zangers 2019

[@slash-1971]

This whole show is fantastic. So far on this show Floor has sang in German, Dutch Spanish and English and in a different style every week. Even us Nightwish fans have been blown away by her incredible talent 😍🤘

[@matheusdelacela3195]

It's not a huge surprise for Nightwish fans who accompany Tarja's career. Symphonic metal is filled with such talented singers, and these women deserve so much recognition and sadly don't get it because the music style is not mainstream...

[@mvdh877]

before this program nobody knew Floor even that she is the best payed dutch artist nobody knew her.....now whole netherlands knows her lol

I heard that she is not well known in the Netherlands and this really confused me for a long time because she is like crazy famous all around the world, well at least among metalheads......

[@chrisv5205]

Floor Jansen's voice is proof to us wretched mortals that the divine truly exists.

[@handibenkz4091]

You're right, usually peoples who did 'Shallow' covers only focusing on the high notes but forget to deliver the emotion of the song. Floor Jansen really did very well on this, her expression, her body language, her interpretation to the song really well, and she's sing it with her own style.

[@david8157]

Great singers have the power to break people's hearts wide open and make them feel more intensely.... Floor Jansen has that power.

[@julianmoyano73]

One of my favourites singers and one of my best friend favourite songs, she passed away this year and this is really touching. Thanks for the reaction

[@sharissavisser2499]

Love love floor Jansen, that's all I can say really

[@jmetallover]

This was Floor's 5th song on this Dutch TV show where each week one of the 7 professional singers is put on the sofa with the emcee and the other 6 sing a song they have done or is important to them. This is not a competition, but Floor has done a Operatic aria in German, a Folk/Pop song in Dutch, a Salsa song in Spanish and a Country/Blues song in English besides this offering. That is 4 different genres in 4 different languages and each is short 4 mins but just awesome. She has really stunned the Dutch TV audience and the other singers with her vocals skills! You would really enjoy the show as the other singers are excellent as you might imagine all being professionals. Her most die-heart fans are as stunned and awestruck as everyone else with her performances on this program.

[@Kazairl666]

I once met her for a singing lesson, waaaaaay back, and she’s amazing in every way. 🙏 good to see people are noticing her talent outside the “metal” world.

[@MattLathrum]

Fun fact: there is no "studio version" per se. Everything for the movie and the accompanying album was recorded live in front of real audiences.

[@lyubomirayovcheva8457]

Or Mama!!!

[@rawanjensen102]

About the ”loving quality” i noticed this term back when i had singing classes in university, the teacher commented that my voice had a ”loving and warm quality” because my low tones sounded ”like a mother”. I think Floor definitely has that (a 1000000000000000 times better obviously). When she sings so calm and slow her voice reminds one of how a mother would sing for a child. Some people seem to be have cold low voice, which works great for grave and serious songs, but floor’s so warm and gentle, which works great for emotional personal songs (and jazz!) Just my opinion, i could be terribly wrong :)

[@lcali7496]

The power of this performance is in that Floor does the exact opposite of what everyone expects her to do and still kills it. That makes it twice as powerful. The movie is a year old now and thanks to radio, media and millions of not so inspirational covers Shallow has unfortunately reached the "overplayed" danger zone for many people. So by doing this her way, no band, not even a guitar, Floor actually gets away with covering this song this late to the party. She is beyond amazing, one of my favorite singers alive.

[@HydianWay]

Floor is the Swiss Army Knife of Vocal amazingness.

[@kimchi2780]

Rebecca's #Floorgasm to Phantom of the Opera was classic. LOL!!!! Love that you are watching vids of my favorite female vocalist of all time. Ms Floor Jansen!!!!

[@darksoulemma395]

It is the proof that Floor can sing whatever you want her to sing, from classic opera to black metal

[@magnuscarlsson9969]

I'm really impressed with the development of her voice. When she recorded the Endless forms most beautifull album with Nightwish, people said that Toumas "wasted her potential" on that album not really using her booming voice to It's full extent. However Floor herself felt the album was a different kind of challenge, since she haven't been singing delicately since back in her school days. Now we see the result of all that effort she put in and Ot's really beautifull, I can't wait for the new album.

[@wind1491wind2]

"Music is everyones languege we all understand it" So true!

[@Carlos-yr6de]

She made me cry so hard i lost my grandmother a month ago. I listened to this song with her once . she would have loved floor

[@fdsannie]

Then there is Floor............ I can't think of anything else to say about her. That was a very good breakdown of how she sang this song. That statement you made about you can always do more but just because you can doesn't make it better. Tuomas the composer and key board player for Nightwish says the exact same thing. Great minds think alike............... :-)

[@Immortall1408]

True, it is also very smart in the way that when you start out small you can then go big without putting your voice under too much strain. And I think that Floor would completely overshadow the sound of the piano, if she started to belt it out.

[@fnglert]

Welcome to the audition for a new lead vocalists for Nightwish. So what's your range and what vocal style can you sing? Yes.

[@najrenchelf2751]

Ann Waychoff, I just get FLOORED by her performances EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

[@sugoruyo]

I think, by now, it’s established that Floor is nature’s mic drop moment in making a singer. One day some force of nature woke up in a very good mood and went “How ‘bout I make a Valkyrie Amazon Metal Vocal Goddess of a woman, not sparing anything? Yeah, let’s do that!”

[@fdsannie]

@@sugoruyo What a great comment. It made me chuckle and smile............. :-)

[@clansolace]

It's people like Floor that make me feel so fortunate to be alive today. While there is a lot of darkness in humanity and on the internet, there is, equally, so much beauty and goodness in people. I'm glad that we have the internet to be able to connect with each other and with this kind of beauty and goodness. Thanks for the reaction video! Love watching your reactions.

(Psst, please do another of those ASMR comment videos)

[@ryanhalien8468]

I love this version SO much precisely because it’s so understated, it shows she really can do ANYTHING she wants with her voice, her wheelhouse is huge mind blowing belts, but she can also use soft warm almost whispery tones to perfection too, still full and warm and resonant, switching from chest to head voice effortlessly, to me it was a perfect performance, just flawless

[@bigegg7170]

[@jamescurfman3284]

Denise Hofs did an English Translation of this episode already! In it, Floor did in fact mention that keeping it small was difficult for her. She has never sung Pop before so this was her Out-Of-Her-Comfort-Zone for the week.

[@commandox8upoop642]

I figured something out about what draws me here while watching this latest Floor reaction. I watch your channel to be introduced to artists I may not know of and to hear renditions of songs I may not have heard. When I watch your videos I experience music I would never hear otherwise fairly often. This very rendition of this song is an excellent example. But... The biggest draw for me is to see your emotional/physical reaction to the voices of the artists. Watching you react to these people and songs is a genuine pleasure and it reminds me how much power the human voice can hold. Thank you for putting yourself out there for us all to enjoy. And of course, the Spongebob references are most appreciated.

[@fateweaver9844]

As other people have said you need to react to Floor doing "About love I don't know a thing" from the same show. Guaranteed to make you cry. I did. And I've never cried over a song before in my life.

[@jinjerfyre]

Floorgasm!!!! Caught a snippet of this on Floors insta yesterday and was hoping you’d catch it too. I adore the fact that she didn’t belt it out, suited the song better I feel. Plus I think her belt would have been too much for such an intimate setting. I love the run on the word “shallow” at 3.55.

[@GryLi]

I agree She has one of the best voices out now

[@TheLonghairedhippi]

Yeah, Reuben and I were doing a raspberry duet there at the end. That show will hitcha in the feels hard, especially this season. I've gone and watched pretty much all of what I can get on KZbin. I like the way it's structured now. Every person on there this season sounds phenomenal... they're just a bunch of superemely talented, mind-blowing heart-slayers.

[@jandouwes6149]

I'm with you. Some of Floor's fans are so blinded by her bright light, they don't see the others, nor that Floor herself is in awe with them and regards them highly.

Lady Gaga is, without a doubt, an amazing singer but Floor is just perfection.

[@kaydee63]

She commented on the actual video from Beste Zangers that she normally doesn't perform pop songs, so this was a huge challenge for her. I think she performed it PERFECTLY though

[@neoplan6116]

This show is a very interesting format: there gathering several singers and every evening one sits on the "hot seat" on the couch in the middle with the host and all others have to sing a song for this singer which has a special relation to him, maybe to his life, maybe written by him. This song Floor sung to Emma, the nice blonde younger woman.

[@sliderjock8121]

Well, just when you thought Floor couldn't possibly eclipse her previous performances, she just did--she sang Tim Akkerman's song, "Winner", indirectly to Tim's brother (Tim wrote it for his brother, who's in a wheelchair, but refuses to let his disability deter him from living to the fullest), by singing it to Tim. Goosebumps from the first phrase--the power of inspirational lyrics, sung by a masterful artist! Have a towel around your neck, to catch the tears on one end and wipe your nose with the other!

A: Gawd damn you’re always so gorgeous. B: Floor has my eyes flooded in tears before the first note left her lips....

[@janstan8407]

One of the reasons why I don't watch these "vocal" tv shows, that there is rarely any restraint. All the emphasis is on power and hitting the high notes. (what I call "yellers"). It is so nice to see someone who CAN overpower it, not do that. Control and taste made this performance. Oh, and I loved your hand gestures too!! They actually do help follow what you are explaining.

[@malangope]

Aww, I knew your reaction would be emotional since you loved the movie so much 😊 Floor's divine voice doesn't make it easier on the heart either.. It's hard to believe a rock singer could produce such soft and pure sounds. I too thought the setting was very intimate and I'm sure everyone could hear every little sound she made there. I would be so nervous, but she handled it like the pro she is ^^
