Vocal Coach Reacts to Floor's Shallow at Beste Zangers 2019

[@nine-dogs]

I think I'm allergic to Floor Jansen. She keeps making my eyes water.

This version is for cozying up. This song is made for Fender Rhodes and some strings. A singers's song for real.

[@jake6661]

Floor is a musical heart surgeon.

[@ChrisPage68]

She took mine out, but hasn't put it back! 😭

[@jake6661]

@@ChrisPage68 Same here...

[@lexusambassador]

PageMonster Mine too....my heart is hers now.....sigh

[@chrishood2793]

Floor's voice makes me think of being guided by a comforting angel amongst a raging storm, like a mother singing a soothing lullaby to her ailing child. I think this is why she is perfect for Nightwish as the music seems to be a juxtaposition to her voice.

[@nemo5621]

That's the best statement I've ever heard! Lol!

[@Paul_C]

You forgot something: never assume where Floor is concerned. If it is any help, she changed the text and therefore the meaning of the lyrics. It was directed towards Emma, a girl in her twenties. Basically telling her, from her perception working in the same field, what to expect. Ah well.

[@SAITO2]

Lady Gaga: this is my song Floor: here hold my beer, it's mine now sweetheart

[@somedigitalist7681]

She did the same song as a duet with Tim where she does the vocals much bigger. One of the performances I really hope you take a look at from Beste Zangers is Floor's rendition of either I don't know a thing about love or Que se siente. Both of those performances are fascinating because Floor changes her vocal configuration vritually continuiously in both. She's changing her tambre almost every three or four words at points. It's super cool.

[@syyneater]

She’s just something else, her range and ability to glide from one style, tone and everything she’s able to do is just amazing!!

[@Koennie78]

She was talking with the band on what version she should do, and they chose for the more intimate and small version. I’ve seen a lot of reaction videos on this song and they all want to hear Floor belt out the high notes. But I think this version is so good. She has an insane vocal range. Thanks for reacting to this song

[@sugoruyo]

More importantly, Floor has one of the greatest emotional expression ranges to grace a stage in the last 20 years. She can do what she wants, it will sound good and it will resonate with the audience because she is a world class musician and has top notch control of her instrument.

[@LuiWallentinGttler]

I think it was the perfect choice. It suits the song to be more intimate. Like a warm hug. And also to, as you said, show how versatile she is. Because in this show she had at this point established she could belt out a song in multiple genres / styles of singing. I really liked that you whispered in the first verse. Like you didn't want to disturb Floors light singing. :D About you pausing the videos: Keep doing it or else the KZbin copyright police will come and get you.

[@webcrawler9782]

she chose to sing metal but she can sing anything she wants

[@kdkttn19]

Every single person was expecting her to strong-arm and belt this one. Restraint is a very difficult tactic to use when you're a powerhouse, so she continued to amaze us all with the delicate performance.

[@Blues666]

If you like to watch Floor belting with power take a look on "Que Se Siente" and "Winner", both from the same show.

[@Yochemm]

Also "Mama" and "Vilja Lied" from the same show are worth the effort... Same like "Strong" from Emma & "Geloof in Jezelf (Believe in Yourself)" from Samantha Steenwijk...

[@agustinmanyari]

Yeah, those are powerful version that Elvann expect.

[@sniperolli73]

I totally agree. Watch "Vilja Lied", "Mama" and "Que Se Siente" from Beste Zangers, and you will see how versatile Floor really is!!!! ;-)

[@WrathchildNH]

@@sniperolli73 and then watch Seven days to the Wolves live at Wembley 2015

[@khosani1726]

Basically anytime Floor opened her mouth, pure gold came out.

[@largil20]

Goosebumps! Such a talent to be able to go from a stadium filling belter to this intimate soft yet powerful performance.... Love it!!!!!!

[@ElvannReacts]

Yesss! Absolutely!!! I think it mostly comes from mastery of her skills and artistry combined!!

[@largil20]

Floor is simply just one of those singers that emerges once in a lifetime.. so so talented and yet so humble behind it all. I'm always struck by how she reacted to the crowd at the end of that now infamous performance of Ghost Love Score, after her final Floorgasmic note.. she bent her head in a gracious acknowledgement to the crowds reaction, but immediately pointed towards the band, as if to say "these are the ones that deserve your applause".. how can not love and adore her?! ☺️❤️❤️

[@randymarple9830]

@@ElvannReacts Floor is an empath. She feels everything deeply and that is why she is so dynamic with her performances.

[@atlanteean]

"i didn't expect that" - it's amazing how Floor always manages to surprise us, even when we know what she capable of. to see a powerful voice going so delicate is heart-touching

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Queen of mixed voice ❤😎🐱‍👤The one rasp was her signature, brings in a little edginess on purpose

[@Suren993]

Well this is easy. You react to Floor/Nightwish, I watch and I'm happy. Mutually beneficial. 😁 Great job.

[@ElvannReacts]

I'll definitely keep on doing that! It's so fun! I plan on mostly making Floor & Nightwish reactions. I mean, usually I force people to listen Nightwish or I introduce them to it. Now it looks like we've got a crowd of people interested in EXACTLY what I'm the most genuinely interested about looking at sooooo. YOU SAY how much of a win win situation it is XD

[@Suren993]

@@ElvannReacts well, shiiiit, it's like winning the mega millions lotto. This is the react channel I've been looking for. 🤘

[@WrathchildNH]

Floor can sing any song, in whatever style (or language) she chooses..... and make it better than the original....

[@LuisRdzG10]

Just do all her performances on this show. Everyone is worth it.

[@evilvolts]

you should check out this same program Beste Zangers 2016 3 sisters O'G3ne "Sing" kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXmremyhpqmbh6M and "Clown" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ3Lk59vrMSoopI both songs are phenomenal covers. In Sing they use a technique they made as a game growing up called Echoing.

[@hiawatha.g]

It's pretty simple: Make any list of the top popular vocalists in the world--Beyonce, Adele, Katie Perry, Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey, Patsy Cline, Gaga...add 100 more if you like. Floor can sing anything they've done and will usually do it better. Not one of them could even attempt what she does every time she steps on the stage with Nightwish. There's no one like her.

[@Antonio-tn9cl]

She did the "original" version with Tim in duet in the last night show....must react!

[@handibenkz4091]

It was surprised me when the first time I watched it tbo. the way she was able to make this popular song sounds more emotional with her voice texture, expression, body language, it just amaze me. this is the sweet and light version but still powerful at the same time.

[@Elya611]

And again a lovely reaction, I really like it. And Floor is just Floor ... sie takes a song and makes it to her own ... unbelievable 🙏🏻

[@ElvannReacts]

Thank youuuu, happy you enjoyed!!!! ^.^ also she really does!!!! I love artists who push it that one step further!

[@marciusnhasty]

If it was under the Phantom of the Opera reaction than I'm guessing people were actually asking for you to react to the duet version of "Shallow" with Tim from the same episode and not for this solo version she did several episodes earlier.

I might do the duet as well actually, some people made me reconsider doing the duet as well!

[@strogaa]

@@ElvannReacts They're both great. The duet version is more like the original, of course. Me personally, I like the solo version a bit more.

[@Muciobh]
