Vocal Coach reacts to Floor Jansen - Shallow | Beste Zangers 2019 (Live Cover)

[@typhon78]

After doing this show, Floor finally got some recognition here in the Netherlands. Even my mom called me to ask if I knew her already....yes mom, 20 years ago i was at most her after forever concerts :D

[@ginkarasu]

Same here, perhaps we came across one another... If you had backstage access that is. ;)

[@1972LittleC]

Werd fucking tijd, niet? Maar ja, rock en metal zijn vieze woorden hier op radio en tv.

'yes mom, 20 years ago i was at most her after forever concerts' what was your mother reaction?

Beth gets a 10/10 for ‘trying her best to keep it together’ here. 🤭

[@mikebunner3498]

A perfect voice. Priceless delivery The woman is a master....

[@andregautron2821]

One of the most honest performances I have heard in a long while.

[@JASONDAVIDLONGHURST]

I can hear the breath behind her voice and really adds to the performance. Hairs standing up on the back of my neck. Thank you Beth for your amazing interpretation of a beautiful version.

[@brianhartling7767]

First line came out of Floor's mouth, and I was like. OMG, Wow~ this is a perfect song for her to do. Hard to find the words when they're this good. One of the most impressive techniques a singer can master is portraying feeling as you paint the picture for everyone. Love it~

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

What the human voice can do with training, hard work and amazing material is beyond words.

[@fatboynick4104]

I honestly believe Floor is the greatest singer I have ever heard, male or female. Regardless of the style/genre she is singing, she completely owns it. I don't even like this song but with Floor singing it, I can't get enough.

[@guarrand]

Look up Dimash .. with SOS or Sinful Passion. She's a good Second though ;)

[@pampymirabuna1453]

I also not into Lady Gaga songs but when Floor sang it, my heart melted.

[@zaynes5094]

@@guarrand Nah you can't compare Dimash to her. Two different styles and two different singers, as well as the little detail that one being a MAN and the other being a WOMAN. If you want to compare, you could compare Sharon Den Adel, since they do sing similar styles and in similar bands, but Sharon is also a naturally talented singer who has that angelic voice. So, Rich, no. Don't compare a guy and girl singer. They've two different instruments they're using. Personally, I've always loved Amy Lee the most, she's always my favorite female singer (and in fact, singers overall, she's top 5 for me).

[@guarrand]

@@zaynes5094 Read the OP post again... thnx.

[@SuperMoofie]

@@guarrand nope, not even a match in the same breath. Show pony vs artist, no contest, Floor is in a league of her own. She doesn't need to do vocal gymnastics, she is the real deal.

[@madhatter6549]

There's something about her voice. No other vocalist can evoke physical manifestations in the form of chills, goosebumps and tears- like Floor Jansen.. We are so blessed to have her as the lead for Nightwish… all of her performances in Beste Zangers were stellar.. Thank You for the react!

[@SuperMoofie]

Expression - there are very few singers who can convey expression and reach inside people. Floor is a storyteller, and this is how she tells it. Flawless :) The music is her, and she is the music - she lives it, and she becomes it when she tells a story, you can see it in her gestures and physical expressions. Very rare, and there are but a few.

[@douglascampbell9809]

Floor's performances of Qué Se Siente and I Don't Know a Thing About Love are also both outside her normal singing style. Both are worth looking at if you are interested in Floor switching styles. It was like Floor was on a mission to make artists cry on the show.

[@pietjebell6572]

lol

[@thelegendofgrumpybeard9950]

Floor was on a mission alright. In the beginning, most of them didn't know who she was and kinda looked down on her being the "metal chic". After about 2 weeks, she had them (like all of us) wrapped around her pinky, making them feel whatever she wanted. I would say mission accomplished.

[@terryhenderson3490]

@@thelegendofgrumpybeard9950 Well put young man .I think you just need to look at there faces when she sang that first song .

[@jimmyboy131]

@@thelegendofgrumpybeard9950 She's a dark Jedi, Mistress of Voice. She'll get you, one way or another.

[@Green-Lyon]

@@thelegendofgrumpybeard9950 Well, as the people on the show knew they were going to have to sing her songs or at least to her, they had to do research ahead of time to pick what songs they might want to do. On the show they professed their amazement and admiration over what they had seen during their research. They of course had no idea what to expect, and were blown away by her. But she has made it clear she wanted to overcome the general preconceptions concerning metal.

[@kokopellie]

How can anyone listen to this without crying...😭 Floor is my pick for the BEST singer ever! Love her. 🥰

[@lmbergamini]

If you're in for some more tears, you should give "I don't know a thing about love" a try. And this song has an even stronger country vibe we didn't know Floor was capable of bringing

[@philbeaumont9339]

Absolutely this, Irene helped with the interpretation of that song and it is phenomenal. Those final 2 lines, sung with the lightness and emotion she can summon are heartbreaking.

[@jamescurfman3284]

Floor's cover of 'Mama' was similarly tear-jerking.

[@Dianen65]

Really really liked your reaction! A proffessional vocal coach who knows what it takes to sing this song the way Floor did. Pointing out what she is doing and showing her emotions when doing it.

[@BadGuyBlues]

Because of Floor, I ended up watching every episode of the show. And I loved it. They are all great artists, and the idea of the show is very interesting. You need to watch the other episodes.

[@fikryhasan5225]

I swear I shed a tear seeing you in tears Beth. It was indeed impactful, the way Floor sung that song. Artistry indeed.

[@alanjurena2678]

Also I love the reactions from the people watching... Henk is proud and emotional, the rest are just blown away

[@Thorgrim247]

I agree with you Floor gave this rendition a delicacy and tenderness that is all her own. You cane up with the perfect word, Artistry! When Floor performs a song it becomes an aural work of art, far beyond just singing! Beautiful reaction video Beth!

[@berniehand5528]

I saw the lump in your throat. You are a genuine reactor. I am a 75 year old male and this song, and WINNER well my eyes up from start to finish. Floor is excellent for sending messages with her beautiful versatile voice. Thank you Beth.

[@justincase6815]

Floor - the personification of vocal perfection, beauty and grace. Such a gift to the world, and she fronts a metal band!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🍿🦊🍿🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@danilolapierre5610]

Yes, I adore this cover version too. Floor is brilliant, warm, and heart-breaking. This version never fails to amaze me.

[@amax1229]

Floor can play your heartstrings like a heavenly harp that exquisitely vibrates your soul. Hence the tears. You get them, I get them, pretty much everyone gets them. What a woman! Thank you for your reaction, well done!

[@jmetallover]

One of the best reactions to this song and one of the best you have ever done. First, love the fan reactions, you feel Floor when she sings and you reacted like a true die-heart fan, BUT Second, a great technical analysis of the work that went into this adaption of the song to fit what Floor wanted to do with it. Her duet with Tim and this song was different, while still amazing, I prefer her solo version as the real tour de force as the emotional crushing and soul wrenching version that grabs you and shakes you till she finally lets go and you are drained!! I loved the "artist" comparison as Floor really did construct this song like an artist and it was tremendous (hit #1 on the Dutch I-Tunes list within 24 hours so you are spot on). Floor really is more than a vocalist, rather a true performer and I don't mean dancing etc, but an "artist" who uses her gift to perform in an emotional way that just forces you to react to her song no matter what. Honestly, even her die-heart fans have been stunned by her performances on this show. She has gone from Valkyrie Goddess of Metal to full on Goddess of Music period!!

[@theosolberg]

I have been to a show of her's on January 26th. This was also on the set list. I can relate to that guy with tears in his eyes! I was sitting right in front of the stage and having been lucky to get accreditation, I have been able to get some great shots of her. No need to say I had a great evening.

[@floorfan7987]

[@RAimotion]

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Every single Performance of her on this show is Gold with Diamonds sprinkled on top 😍❤🌹 And she sing the Phantom with her long time Idol Henk Poort: Henk Poort is a 63 year old Dutch Opera Baritone Opera singer who can alsoo sing Tenor, He said in this show he did 30 Operas 26 Opperettas and about 10 Musicals and a bit of acting. He onley began his classical training age 26. But long before that he sang as a non-proffesional and stood out amongst the rest. First he learned to craft Biljarts Tables. They offered him to finish the "conservatorium" two years early because by that time he allready was doing Operas in Germany. He alsoo lived in Italy for 15 years. Floor Jansen was a fan of him since she was 11 or 12 hearing him sing in the dutch Phantom of The Opera 😎👏👍 If you have more questions about Henk Poort feel free to ask. I think It is so her to do that 😜😍 Floor Jansen, Queen of Mix Voice 😁 If you like Henk Poort you should check out his cover of "The Sound of Silence" on this same show 👀🎶🌹

[@Richardtv1968]

A total floorgasm ...... she floored me instantly

[@thtadthtshldntbe]

So you tube decides to recommend this to me..even though i have already watched it and liked it. But I was like hey its Beth and Floor..... Note, I rarely even listen to this style of music, the R&B/pop thing....Floor is a musical goddess. Every time she goes into that first transition where she ups the power of her vocals, right at the end of that part she hits a note...and I get full body chills every time. She is beyond amazing. And the effect of the Floorgasm never wears off...It "Floors" me every time...

[@dougmphilly]

been a fan of her's since her teenaged years with after forever. her ability to sing anything is her most amazing quality.

[@greenfroggsbg7570]

Those beautiful eyes of yours miss Beth... They got instantly in tears... I love how you enjoy what you do

[@ginkarasu]

Though this performance is stellar, it didn't made me cry. Though her rendition of "I don't know a thing about love", "Mama" and "winner" from the same show did. I also shed a tear during her final note of "Phantom of the opera". Also during this season every contestant she sung too had teary eyes. With the exception of Rolf Sanchez but he, as the rest of us were, ecstatic while he heard her metal/rock version of his latin song "Que se siente"

[@stevekerswill5925]

Love how passionate you are Beth, keep up the great work x

[@MrRemus20078]

This version of Shallow by Floor Jansen pulls your heart out and at the end you get it back repaired.

[@treintje1001]

In the final episode (where she sang The Phantom with Henk Poort) she also sang this in duet with Tim Akkerman. That one is closer to the original and Floor goes all the way. I would like to see you compare these two versions. Oh, and do the Phantom as well. It’s THE performance of the year! Truely outstanding.

[@nicochape7130]

Cant remember if i saw you like this before, so emotionally. Good job Beth, Floor is a blessing

[@Kimstar29]

I love the songs you “react” to but, I have to say, I could listen to your deconstructions for hours. Your passion for what you do is self evident, and the way you describe a singers voice is truly wonderful and always positive. Love this channel! Rahr.

[@handibenkz4091]

This version was got me too, what Floor did to make this song sound more light but still powerful at the same time was amazing and clever imo. I love her voice tones and her voice control, combined with her expression and body language in this performance make this song version hard to beat by any covers.

[@Richardtv1968]

Great review, you disected the whole song and Floors capabilities .....loved it!

[@elm6944]

My favorite singer ..period!

[@hanazzution9468]

Nice review coach. You're right Floor Jansen is not only a great singer but she's also a true artist. It's not easy to change it and make it different from the original but completely owned it, technically and emotionally.

[@humis69]

I've seen this tens of times and I still get emotional ❤️ She's just so beyond amazing ❤️ And yet, I'm a fellow from the land of Nightwish, just turned 50, fan of her, NW and all She does 🤗 Old (?) fan of NW with Tarja, but I have to say She's something... else 🤗

[@WLsmiling]

Tears!!! Wow Floor is amazing!! Love her voice!!

[@ericgaudet4497]

Great reaction to Shallow Sang by the Amazing and Talented Floor Jansen the one Winner from the same show.

[@alanjurena2678]

This song was written for Lady Gaga, but it was always meant for Floor... I cry every time.. it's perfection

[@avpa8930]

I have never written a comment on this type of content. But after listening to lots of "Vocal Coach reacts to ..." and then listening to how they sing themselves, I just want to say: with the exception of "Elizabeth Zharoff" you are the only one who also has a beautiful voice and dares to show it on your own channel. Good for U! And keep up the good work!

[@nightwatch6106]

Seeing you enjoy yourself that much is utterly charming.

[@MaxDad7]

I didn't know Floor did a cover of this so it's nice to see it. She is an amazing singer, and Nightwish is lucky to have her.

[@michelvisser7051]

ps when i sing dogs cry cats run away even my monitor cracks so i leave that to the pro's

[@ludovicm.1848]

Again : Floor is a precious gift to this world.

[@dedexter88]

WOW that was an emotional reaction, thanks, liked it a lot!

[@Kipex]

Yeah, thought this was the most impressive and impactful song she did on the show for many of the reasons you mentioned. It was different from what she usually does plus the cover itself was a different take on the song, yet she couldn't have done it any better. Glad you reacted to this, even if you already saw it. Didn't need much of a reason to rewatch the performance :)

[@HakimAchterberg]

If you have time, Denise Hofs translated all episodes of beste zanger of this year. Too long to react to, but you might really enjoy watching it for yourself. You can see a nice mix of artists performing eachothers music (or music that is meaningful to them) for each other. This year has a really nice lineup. Also if you ever wondered what a (prog) metal opera sounds like, you should have a look at Ayreon. (e.g. The day the world breaks down)

[@oliphant2848]

Support Ayreon.

[@ginkarasu]

About Ayreon, I totally concur. Fact is I requested this particualr Ayreon song regularly a while back, I also requested "Everybody Dies" and "Valley of the Queens". Because Beth had made reaction videos to many bands who's singers also appear on Ayreon albums. But I have a feeling she already is familiar with Ayreon by now.

[@stumason7963]

yup Ayreon please

[@timhutchinson8485]

To add to your list of “things Floor can do”, she can also do growls, but she rarely does in Nightwish. That was more common in her previous band, Revamp,

[@TerranigmaQuintet]

She knows that, she did a reaction to WIld Card Bloodstock 2014 a while back :)

[@timhutchinson8485]

TerranigmaQuintet oh right! Sorry, I forgot about that.

[@Rosannasfriend]

She's reviewed a few of those in the past.

[@svartmetall]

At this point I kind of expect her to turn out to be a virtuoso pianist, neurosurgeon, mathematician and astrophysicist. Nothing would surprise me now.

[@dustbunny1977]

I would love to hear Floor sing The Rose, that would have been awesome! Thanks for a great reaction by the way! 👍

[@legionofthedamned157]

I get shivers every time I hear this song sung by Floor

[@ronaldboers8061]

Since you like this song so much maybe you should also take a look at Sharon den Adel (lead vocalist of Within Temptation) with the song "Say my name". Just like Floor, Sharon is also ver versatile in her delivery of songs being able invoke emotional reactions of the audience. The suggested clip is from a complete concert registration but you can select the separate songs from the attached listing in the comments field or select the 45:30 minute mark. The song was never released on any of the studio albums but as a bonus track on the single release of the song called "Angels" . The song is about her (Sharon den Adel) grandmother suffering from Alzheimers and her desperate attempts to try to connect with her one more time. Her delivery is spot on except for slight emotional tremor in her voice that makes it all the more beautiful. The audience is also fully aware of the uniqueness of this song being performed because it so quiet that you would have been able to hear pin drop.Quiet an achievement in a sold-out arena of 20.000 people. I have seen this woman perform four times in concert and countless live registration online she is usually very relaxed and cheerful during her concerts. During this concert she starts out that way but if you watch her carefully you can see her tense up the closer she get to this song and relaxes again after the song has been done. This clearly is very personal song to her. She must have been satisfied with the results because the next year she performed it again during their acoustic theater tour. But this time she was barely able to complete the song and had tears in her eyes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaawc2WmidiNhpI

[@thomasschmidt1836]

She expresses a strength with power and yet at the same time there is fragility and vulnerability when she performs this song. It is like she is channeling the character from the movie but projecting that character through herself as Floor. So expressive and wonderful. She is truly quite talented

[@Stargazar]

Saw Nightwish live November 2018 in Germany. I will never forget these epic evening

[@NeeceLoneWolf]

Sonata Arctica is touring with Nightwish next year. I totally want Floor and Tony to do this song since they have sung together before and Tony's voice can hit you in the feels big time. Tallulah a freaking heartbreaking song. Floor can growl Yours Is A Empty Hope.
