Voice Teacher Reacts to Floor Jansen - Adagio (Lara Fabian Cover)

[@jayewnts2ply2]

Floor's dramatic build up over the length of this song and her theatrical talent is so beautiful and adept. How did such a gentle beginning turn into such an emotional freight train? An old guy says thanks. Ciao!

[@cstroppa20]

This cover is wonderful. I love her. 💖💖💖

[@kevinnguyen5042]

3 versions have their best unique elements to make the song perfect like their own song: 1) dimash : different arrangement and structure, he raises keys and belting after belting after belting with all mixed and whistle, vocal extreme at its craziness with changing key in the middle of long hold note.He is young and super well trained and the passion with emotion he has on stage from the man perspective of the song( on his knees, grind the stage) . Technically, he has the most difficult version of the song. 2) lara: make the song popular and introduce its beauty to the world. She is the the woman deep in lyrics that delivers every word beautifully and acting and many experiences in the song. 3) Floor: she is versatile singer like Dimash. But she sings it similar arrangement as Lara’s version. She makes the song emotional and effortless singing. Very similar to Lara’s versiob but she brings some rock elements to it. She did the song nicely!!!

[@ChrisPage68]

Floor's makes you believe she *means* what she's saying. Dimash is overcooking the song. It's all about HIM. I watched the original music video of Lara's, and I didn't get any emotion from her. Maybe I'll try a live version.

Lara Fabian and Dimash are great singers , but it is not only about high note's !... Floor has so much more colours in her voice ! she remains AMAZING

[@DoggieFosters]

Art is a matter of taste yattidy yattidy opinions are fine etc etc However, it is by no means either a fact or a well-evidenced opinion that Floor has more "color" to her voice than Fabian or Dimash. And I can't personally bear to listen to Dimash. 🤣 There is no way one can listen to Fabian's version of this from her live From Lara With Love Concert and conclude that she had less color than Floor's version here. Now, I admire Floor, and I think given prep time, she could do much better than this with this song. Hopefully by committing wholly to the very Fabian-like path she follows here OR by committing fully to taking it in a new direction. The orchestration + overly loud mix - full commitment to a harder vocal approach assured it didn't "work" here.

[@carlosjj662]

@@DoggieFosters I don't think she will, because it's not her role. She was just having fun and challenging herself, as a singer I am I do that often. I don't think she will or she wants to sing this song in a future concert... Dimash is great, but the only song I really enjoy from him is S.O.S, on the other songs he sounds boring. Lara is always great, but her vocal style doesn't allow her to be more versatile and add more colors in her voice. She sounds the same in every song, including when covered vision of love and I will always love you... it doesn't mean that she is not great, because she is, but she's not versatile as Floor or even Dimash.

[@dac2007]

Such a great cover, the original is fantastic and Floor did the honors. As others have pointed out, the bass player and second vocalist Marko is the one who resigned. Tuomas is the keyboardist and main composer so if he leaves the band is definitely over, but that's hopefully not happening. They will replace Marko for now with a session bassist for the tour. If you want to do more songs from them take anything from the Wacken 2013 show that you have not done.

[@TK8866275]

If Tuomas would leave, then it's the end of Nightwish because he's the person who has written almost all of their songs, the one who left is Marko the bass player. While I'm sad about Marko's leaving, there are already rumours of his replacement, who might be bassist and metal singer Jarkko Ahola who is known for his operatic voice. There are quite a few videos about Jarkko, for example here he sings "Nessun Dorma" kzbin.info/www/bejne/faXGemavrdukZtk "Adagio" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXPEopSYZbmgpJY and "Alone" kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6i7lGpuZdyKjcU Although his joining to Nightwish is still only a speculation, it would be interesting to hear a professional opinion if his voice would compliment Floor voice.

[@PAULSWorld131]

Sounds good. Thx for the info. I think he will make a good fit. To NW, and to Floor. Let's see...

[@juanitooctavio9023]

I once heard the Albinoni Classic on a hughe church-organ. Majestic! Lara Fabian did the modernisation, she did not compose it.

[@jeremytassin7978]

To have a point of reference, I went and listened to Lara's version. While awesome, I love Floor's version a tiny bit more. She's the only singer who can make me shed a tear with just one note, and she did it here multiple times.

[@DoggieFosters]

Live version is generally considered 100x than official version kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHzXf6iCfJqdd9E

[@DoggieFosters]

I was surprised at how closely, phrase by phrase, this hewed to Fabian's choices. I admit I miss a lot of the ornamented dynamic choices within phrases and the wide open cathedral sound without heaviness of the end belting sections in Fabian's live version(s).

[@carlosjj662]

Smart choice! Sometimes less is more. There are songs that you can play with the melody line, but Adagio is a song that you can't change. It needs to be sing the way it should be sing. The only thing you can do is add some texture, as she did: a little bit of screaming and distortion, but that's it. If you try to do something different, as the Dimash did, you really have a great chance to mess up with the song. That's why it's so similar, and you can see that Lara did the same when she covered Vision of Love from Mariah Carey. Lucky we have the same song for different tastes!

[@juanitook1125]

Without the maestro, who would compose? Tuomas is the genius behind the music; Marko will be a loss like Jukka, but I have faith. I hope, most of all, that Marko finds the peace he is looking for. Depression is hard enough, I can't imagine touring too.

Dimash is all about vocal range (which, granted is impressive). That's why he has to resort to cheap stunts like "spontaneous" knee drops, to fake emotions. None of the 2 ladies need that. They just let the song do the work.

[@lieven2292]

This is not really a cover from Fabian! The peace, music and lyrics, was originally written by Remo Giazotto (1919-1998). This dude claimed the music was based on unfinished work from the renowned composer Albinoni of which he found the partitures after a WW2 bombing in 1945... later it became clear that he (Remo) wrote the intire thing himself and Albinoni had nothing to do with it...😊 The piece has since then been interpreted and performed by many singers (even The Doors recorded an adaptation) and often used as moviescore.

Vocal teacher, You may be right in terms of technicalities but IMHO Floor's drawing room rendition was a flop. Why publish a weak "copy" of a Lara Fabian song? Why sing it with a fixed smile, as if she understood nothing of the lyrics? For me, it was the vocal equivalent of a rainy day "doodle". Surprising from Floor who has skill and experience, to just do a repeat. Adagio was not for her. Technically her r breath. control is not as good as Lara's and her voice became shrill and difficult to hear (like Dimash) at the climax.

[@carlosjj662]

Simply because she is a vocal coach and her job is to explain how the vocal technique works, and that is independent of the singer and the genre. Copy? I don't think so, I just like to think that Floor likes to challenge herself and for my taste I liked it. Two different versions of the same song, so we can pick which one is best for ourselves. If you felt she was cold, well, that's up to you, not me. Lara Fabian did inumerous cover songs as well, and she did great singing Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, so yes, she also did covers, some of them are good, some of them don't...
