Wow. That makes for a totally different experience.

[@Greyhound53200]

I applaude you for all the research you did. As far as I know you are the first reactor who saw the entire first episode of the show (with English subtitles). I think you grasped the formula of the show very well and explained it accordingly well to the viewers of your video. And what to tell about Floor we didn't already know? Getting this praise from a voice coach says it all, doesn't it?

[@itsjollylumpkin2402]

"Music is an international language."...so true. Thanks for the great reaction.

[@arnomulder7566]

Floor really is the best. When she starts to sing, I start to cry... Thanks for Your reaction Valerie. Indeed 'Beste Zangers' has a huge emotional impact.

[@SailingAnja]

Its because you understand Dutch judging by the name, you get the double whammy of emotion due to understanding the lyrics and the emotional push Floor can give..

[@dhaxgaming4488]

Samantha and Tims reactions during the song .. priceless ;) your thoughts on we need this in the americas, 100% yes. Music should be celebrated not a competition.

[@sugoruyo]

This is interesting. In many European countries, the competition shows were received with skepticism and are still seen as being in poor taste.

Floor is the best singer from all over the world .She is amazing ! What a voice.

[@slash-1971]

I love this show as well, and your smile as you watch Floor!

[@AFKlaui]

I swear I'm telling the truth , I am very fond of this program I watched every episode from the beginning that it was broadcast. I never heard of floor jansen but i do know a couple of the singers that are sitting on the couch. but Floor really mesmerized Me by singing this song of Samantha steenwijk which is the original according singer of this song and I never heard the original song either , but when I hear floor singing this song I was immediately Blown Away , tears were falling down my cheeks when she screamed out loud for Mama. I never heard of her and i understoud every word bycause I'm Dutch to. now the internet is exploding , because of her version singing this song mama. WOOW , unbelievable artist is what she is and , now i have to listen to ALL HER OTHER SONGS because of her incredibly beautiful voice. :-) and i'm starting to like the metal music to. this song goes viral now and believe me , NOW the dutch people know , and never will forget the name " Floor Jansen " . my number 1 winner as best singer 2019 for sure. Translation for dutch. Mama, can I talk to you for a second? Because life is not going well for me I have everything i love, but I don't feel love anymore I really need you now It's hurting me too much Mama, tell me how i should live Please tell me how you do that I lost it for a while Oooh oh mama, why don't I look like you? The strongest example of a mother and a woman Mama, where did i lose myself? At this table you have taught me everything Can't eat, can't talk, can't dance, can't sleep Can't smile, can't resist to be drowning in my tears Oh ohohoh, mama Tell me how i should live Please tell me how you do that I lost it for a while Oh ooh, mama Why don't i look like you? The strongest example of a mother and a woman Oh ohohoh, mama Tell me how i should live Tell me how you do that I really lost it now Oh ooh, mama Why don't I look like you? The strongest example of a mother and a woman These are the dutch lyrics : Mama, kan ik even met je praten? Want het leven zit me eventjes niet mee Ik heb alles wat me lief is Maar ik voel geen liefde meer Ik heb je nu echt nodig Het doet me teveel zeer Mama, zeg me hoe ik leven moet Ze me dan hoe jij dat doet Ik ben het even zoek Oooh oh mama, waarom lijk ik niet op jou? Het allersterkste voorbeeld van een moeder en een vrouw Mama, waar ben ik mezelf verloren? Aan deze tafel heb je me alles toch geleerd Kan niet eten, kan niet praten, kan niet dansen, kan niet slapen Kan niet lachen, het niet laten om te verdrinken in m’n tranen Oh ohohoh, mama Zeg me hoe ik leven moet Zeg me dan hoe jij dat doet Ik ben het even zoek Oh ooh, mama Waarom lijk ik niet op jou? Het allersterkste voorbeeld van een moeder en een vrouw Oh ohohoh, mama Zeg me hoe ik leven moet Zeg me dan hoe jij dat doet Ik ben het nu echt zoek Oh ooh, mama Waarom lijk ik niet op jou?

Mooi en goed uitgelegd!

[@palmanbracht9125]

Yes yes yes...thank you Valerie....

[@lancebloke]

It's a great idea for a show. I bet it is a very vulnerable position to a) be singing to an intimate crowd, b) singing to other singers and c) singing their songs! More Floor! Also... more Amy Lee! I haven't seen anyone react to the song Speak to Me live from the Synthesis tour. A song that was written for a film but was also very much based on her relationship with her young son (see music video with her son in it). Would love to see a reaction to that!

[@Immortall1408]

Thank you for giving us such a wonderful ultimatum - a threat that turns into a treat. I suppose the only way to go through the performance at such an intimate setting is for Floor to focus fully on what she is doing and not to get distracted, which is difficult to do since it is possible to see every single twitch in a person´s face from that distance. She describes herself as a vocal nerd, who loves to discover elements of various vocal techniques and in some instances to incorporate them into her own style, which is what I think I mentioned last time or may be not. And I mean 20 years of working on her singing must show somewhere. By the way, I am quite sure that you did not hear full-on death metal vocal style, which is also used by her just when the particular song demands it. Anyway, this was a great cover and she absolutely nailed it and not just the vocal part. :-)

[@EricGreene]

Sometimes I wonder, do you vocal coaches doing reaction videos really actually love Floor? Or are you just doing it for the views :) :) Well why I like your reactions of her is because I can tell you genuinely love her! As for the show Beste Zangers, I agree with you so much. Can you imagine a show in the US like this? Taking pop stars, indie rock singers, theatre and metal vocalists, and having them sing for each other. That would be amazing. As for Floor. I've become convinced she is without parallel on this planet. She deserves the attention and accolades. Her career into the spotlight hasn't been a direct or easy one for her. Thanks for your reaction!

[@wietsepot1504]

I started watching this show just for Floor (I've known her since After Forever) but have been impressed by the other singers as well. To my surprise, the stand-out performance of this episode (imho) was Rolf Sanchez - Solo otra vez (All by myself). A reggeaton singer doing a spanish version of Celine Dion's version of Eric Carmen's All by myself.

There is actually similar show in Finland called Vain elämää. Bunch of pop/rock/rap stars get together and sing each others songs. One day is for one artist and others sing his/her songs in turn. Pretty good concept for a entertainment show and sometimes it gets a little bit emotional too.

[@cassiewinters331]

I listen to them talk and it almost feels like Dutch has so much English undertone. So many of their words are similar. Anyway Floor blew this away as usual.

[@lauriedepaurie]

Well, we actually stem from the same language: protogermanic. Many words are similar, we structure sentences fairly similar. The only real difference is between English and Dutch because of the Normans invading England hundreds of years ago. Tldr: the languages are really similar

Sorry but Rolf Sanchez is also well known abroad. He's very big in Latin America.

[@fikonfraktare]

I can't compare to other countries, but in the Swedish version of the show they emphasize more on the artists putting their own style to the song. So you have young artists making modern versions of songs from like the 80s, and Vice versa. The results can be quite amazing as some artists really have their own unique style.

Covers with their own spin - Nightwish - Phantom of the Opera (with Tarja) Nightwish - High Hopes (Marco singing a Pink Floyd cover) Nightwish also did Over The Hills and Far Away a cover of a Gary Moore song, however their is far less of Nightwish' flavour in it and it is more of a direct cover, while still very good it has nothing original about it unfortunately. I think this was the first of their covers and as such had less of their feel to it. later covers are uniquely Nightwish Floor has also done a lovely cover of Heart's Alone :)

I laughed so much at "...If you wanna hear more Floor, 'cause you're gonna get, weather you want or not"! I'm glad you liked it so much, that you searched for the whole episode. Here's the episode 2, it had to be moved to Dailymotion and it is split in two www.dailymotion.com/xpinkeu/videos

To be honest most of these 7 singers are not really known in the Netherlands. So the show has some nice surprises for us Dutchies too!

Your smile RIVALS Markos st the end of Greatest Show on Earth from the Tampere. show. It lights the sky. Live it lass. Love your work.

Hey Floor if they don't make a statue of you for this this come live in the UK, because I will build it myself!

[@guardian72]

The UK isn't exactly welcoming to foreigners and international travel at the moment with this brexit confusion going on.

[@ArumesYT]

I know the show is not a competition, but just imagine being a singer and signing up for this series. And then you find out that Floor Jansen is going to be there too... I'd be scared. Very scared. How does it feel when another singer sings your songs better than you can ever do yourself?

[@bitblueduck]

Yeah, that's what I thought too. When you can sing your song 10/10, and then comes Floor who is in a league above anyone else there with a 11/10 performance.

[@michaeljnemo6107]

But only Henk knew she even existed. SURPRISE!!!

[@VocalSplendorStudios]

Wow! The opera singer? How interesting.

[@rikvanommen9564]

@@michaeljnemo6107 I thought I heard Henk say in one of the two shows so far that he did not know Floor.

[@jackstorm5649]

They say on the last show they will be singing duets. I really hope that Floor sings with Rolf or Henk.

[@warhammer5690]

Rolf is reaaallly good!! And im with you Rolf and Henk have that strong undercurrent to harmonize well with Floors darker tone.

[@neonman855]

There's a swedish version of Beste Zangers aswell, exactly the same concept. The show is called "Så mycket bättre" in Swedish ("so much better"). Here's one of the best performances on that show by Miss Li kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4eldZaLmaeCnZI

correction, Rolf Sanchez is very famous in the Caribbean, south america and Miami.

Symphonic metal is anything but subtle? It is chock-full of nuance and layers of subtlety. There are so many little things in every song that make up a tapestry of sound. At least when it is done well, as it always is when Nightwish does it.
