[@laudatosiadastra1218]

Floor´s voice is simply the finest instrument ever. Its unbelievably beautiful. An amazing woman!!

[@T-rock40]

Her first song on the show was "Vilja Lied" I can't recommend it enough. It was the first time the people on the show heard her sing

[@ANDZIGCREAM]

You might as well do "Winner" and "Phantom of the opera" from this show also. You will not regret it. Trust me

[@samhain9283]

I totally agree. You can add Mama and Que Se Sienta to the list as well.

[@robeast692]

I get a floorgasm every time I listen to Floor sing

[@timothyfritz5772]

There is a ton more Floor out there: her other performances from this show are amazing (and in 4 languages!!!), but also she has a KZbin channel where she posts covers recorded in her home studio and filmed by her husband Hannes, the drummer for the Swedish metal band Sabaton. All of them are insanely good. Have fun!!

[@seannightingale3571]

The Metal Gods looked down from the Heavens and spoke these words to all of mankind. We have blessed you on this day of 02/21/1981 ( Floor’s Birthday) an Angel of Metal and she will be known as Floor Jansen. Also known as the Queen of Metal or the Valkyrie Goddess.🌎🌙

[@natalieburnham3300]

Yea!!! She was born on my Birthday month 🥰🥰🥰🥰 That's probably why I have no talent.🤣🤣🤣

[@constantinmiclea3955]

I've been around for a long time. Seen many great musicians, athletes, actors...but I've always said that stars shine only in the nightly heavens. Floor has proven me wrong. Our eyes and ears have been blessed by a living legend. It's a shame that most Americans are clueless of her existence because she is a heavenly gift to us.

[@frankmerris8821]

my life is better with floor in it. im in pa and just got lucky finding her and nightwish

[@larryd4352]

Totally agree with you! I am 64 years old and have listened to all the greats over the years...and Floor is the most versatile, talented vocalist I have heard!

[@gsparkman]

@@larryd4352 Me too. 67. Floor is the best I've heard this century.

[@ejllamobeolan5025]

Winner, is so awesome same show...

[@user-kf8wb2cq4f]

Her Love of music and her emotional connection..makes her Versatility very natural and convincing/commanding. Magnificent Voice & Style.

[@oneknight55]

All of the people on the couches are singers also. Check out Beste Zangers 2019 for more Floor as well as the others on the couches. They all are "stupid" good.

[@pietkeizer5216]

Beste zangers is such a nice Dutch show. The singers sing each other’s songs ( or favorites like Shallow). Floor was amazing in Beste Zangers 2019. This year is Anneke van Giersbergen, Floor’s idol in the past, one of the singers. She is adorable. Greetings from The Netherlands

[@Kelsea-2002]

the first time that i saw Floor live on stage i was just 10 years old and this night in Wacken changed my life.Meanwhile i saw her 2015 in London with Nightwish and 2019 solo in Amsterdam.For me is Floor the one and only Queen on stage.

[@damonbryan7232]

Love this show. First week, sing for Henk in German Second week, sing for Samantha in Dutch Third week, sing for Rolf in Spanish Forth week, sing for Emma in English. Check out her duet with Tim to the same song. She doesn't hold back.

[@oneknight55]

All fo the performances are really good. Enjoy that rabbit hole too. haha.

[@johnlindquist1784]

Floor's dynamic rage is simply unparalleled. She can go from the softest of whispered notes to peeling the paint off the walls within a single note. That, coupled with her incredible vocal range and emotional connection with the songs she sings make her one of the greatest (if not the greatest) female vocalists on the planet. She can take a song from almost any genre and make it hers.

[@johnrose5482]

I'm voting for "the greatest". MHO, and all...

[@ytcag2007]

Whoop, there it is!!! Floor just doing Floor things. It helps that Floor is a highly sensitive person and I say that because she can better express emotions and feelings in such a natural way. She already admitted that in some deep songs she cannot concentrate so much in the audience because if she sees someone crying, she'll start crying. Welcome to Floor's world. ❤️

[@larryd4352]

I am a big old tough guy...ex-college football player, offensive lineman at 6'6" and 350 lbs.....and there are plenty of songs with Floor singing that bring tears to my eyes! What n I first heard this cover...I was totally blown away! Tears running down my cheek..so much so that my wife asked me if I was okay!! ( side note...my left leg has been operated on multiple times, and I have severe nerve damage in that leg, which causes me to be in a great deal of pain, 24-7-365!) I let her listen to this song..and she teared up...and asked me why she wasn't here in the US! She said she would be a mega star in the US! If you haven't listened to "Dead Boy's Poem".... you'll hear a softer, gentler Nightwish...just make sure you have some Kleenex on hand. Also...get the lyrics and read up on the song! It's a tear jerker! Love you two! Have a blessed day!

[@Donna-C]

This soft delicate voice is the same one that sings “Yours is an Empty Hope” with Nightwish - Floor is so talented!

[@ZzKevZz]

This woman is a gift. I don't know what it is about her voice, but it pierces down to my soul. I get chills everytime she opens her mouth to sing.

[@stephenclark5812]

Can you imagine the original performer listening to Floor doing YOUR SONG and telling yourself, well it is her song now!

[@RandallMorris222]

You could do worse than to react to the rest of her performances on this show. For that matter, all the rest of the singers featured in this season along with Floor, gave excellent performances.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

You not the first, who falling in love to Floor. 🤗 and when you hear more from our VALKYRIE, i swear you, its not your last Floorgasm. 🤗

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

Goddess beats lady 🤩😎🤩😎 The Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy..😍😍😍😍

[@squalllionheart3453]

FLOOR can do anything, she is a vocal athlete.

[@Poppie-Joyce]

🧡from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@no_onein2024]

I might as well ALSO highly suggest her cover songs she's been doing the past year during the pandemic that she's been recording at her home studio w/ the help of her husband Hannes Van Dahl who is the drummer for the band Sabaton. She does a cover of 2 songs from the Frozen franchise: "Let it Go" and "Into the Unknown". She covers Hearts' cover of the song "Alone". She SLAYS it on "Adagio", "Oblivion" and "Agape"!!!!!!

[@Josephhikes]

Great reactions 👍 Hope y’all react to Floor and Henk’s version of Phantom of the Opera . On that same show .

[@tomassteen6092]

Another lovely reaction video from you two: -

[@motogpvr_4683]

NIGHTWISH - Last Ride of the Day (LIVE AT MASTERS OF ROCK 2015)

[@nataschaxxx4787]

Lets go you are amazing !!! Go for floor - Winner in the same show ... I cried 🔥💪❤️

[@frenkwd1]

Floor Valkyrie Queen

[@brewswillis9783]

Shawn had a head-to-Floorgasm! LOL Floor also does a song on the show titled Winner which is guaranteed Floorgasmic!

[@sujugothkitten]

Every song she does on Beste Zangers is amazing she does this song again as a duet with Tim Akkerman. I suggest reacting to all her performances you wont be disappointed

[@mjoezic3198]

😄 so fun to watch when people fall in love with Floor's vocals/radiation🙏 Thanks for reacting this song

[@bloodybutunbowed291]

Midwest Division. Great Lakes Battalion of the Nightwish Army checking in from Straits of Mackinac / Mackinac Island, Lake Huron, USA. You guys are really firing on all cylinders lately, with all these fire reactions!!! I really love it when a pair of my favorite reactors get addicted to one of my favorite bands/vocalists!!!

[@ashleyfletcher5044]

Floor did this so amazing! Another great reaction!🙌🤘🏼🔥 love y’all

[@abelnaga3446]

Next try Phantom of the opera from the same show, u will be Floobergasted.

[@andrewbennefield529]

As soon as her voice soars my soul soars with it.

[@duncanwyer2460]

NW army will follow floor wherever she goes 🇬🇧 Norfolk division reporting for duty

[@edwardtomlinson]

You guys want to have a major Floorgassm, try Floor's cover of Heart "Alone" from her channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5fYXqyGa9Zpfc0 . She also gives free master classes in singing on her channel, and has some other really awesome covers. Love you two!

[@stevekanakanui7033]

Floor is clearly on another level ..she just grabs your soul like that ..

[@randymarple9830]

Now, imagine if you had listened to that without pausing. The emotions would have been so great, you would have been sobbing.

[@marinaandersson4381]

❤️ "Mama" 👍

[@walkerabenelux7803]

You really "need" to react more to the beste zangers...the artists are really gennuine. A nice one also is Emma singing 'Strong' for floor. Great reactiin 👍

[@perrycleese5987]

Always worth remembering she is singing in her 2nd (or even 3rd) language. She is so amazing and as others have said, do watch the rest of this show, Beste Zangers, especially the song in Spanish :) (4th/5th language?:)) Btw enjoy your content, liked and subbed

[@paulosilva8200]

This is a Dutch TV show. No competition like in American TV. No judges. Just a few singers on holidays and they need to sings songs that means something for others . That's it. No fake. Real live with emotions. You should watch all floor songs. So many different styles she does

[@FilPol-yu1es]

Floor's The BEST..and I've heard them All.💯

[@agegroot5666]

Shawn,Mel, you have experienced the Flooreffect. Floored again and the fall is always so pleasant.

[@TimoArula]

Floor Jansen Forever !!! 🤘😍🤘 Nuff Said !!!! NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

[@HawkPats]

The very best by this show is the fact, that this is not a competition. They are just some good singers, who are singing originals from each other (or sometimes other songs which where at least important to them) and encouraging each other in their craft. Love it! In Germany we have a similar show called "Sing my Song". But unfortunately there are no YT-Videos of that to react to.

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Floor's ability to take any song to another level are completely phenomenal. I think you should do the rest of Floor's performances from Beste Zangers - they are....... - well, just Floor doing her magic. Now you have experienced why The Nightwish Army loves Floor 🤘🤘🤘

[@TedinCalgary1952]

Just want to add a bit to the comment by William Thomas below --- in your reaction you speak about tearing up: there is a story to go along with the Beste Zangers song "Winner", (link at kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqXJgqSkqNCHhZo). The person Floor was singing the song for, Tim Akkerman, had just previously produced an album entitled "Lions Don't Cry", and had made a kind of informal bet with Floor that he could not be made to tear up by Floor in her singing. When it was her turn to sing a song specifically for him, she chose the song "Winner". And at the end of the song he does in fact tear up. In the video of the song produced as the "Official Version", above, it ends just when they hug after the song. But if you watch the video that includes the entire one hour performance where the tape keeps running, just after the place where the official video of the solo song ends, you can hear Tim, just under his breath, say "Fuck, you ..." So there you go! NEVER enter into a tear-jerking contest with Floor !!! (P.S. and thank you for being patient with my long post of Sept. 10 listing Floor's songs. I know it was a very long post, but I was sure you wouldn't be disappointed !!). Keep well ...

[@guillo101982]

In your face gaga!!! In your face!!!!, 😂🤣 it's a joke 😅 amazing floor simply amazing.

[@pannemanbroeker6822]

Hey you two sweet people , love your reaction . (greetings from the netherlands) .

[@Marco-Conner]

the nightwish army is here too :) always at Floor, always by the valkyrie's side.

[@samhain9283]

Floor and Henk Poort doing Phantom of the Opera, I swear you won't regret it. It might be my favorite live performance of hers, and that's saying a lot.

[@majbrat]

One of my favorites is when she sang the song for Ralph who is a Spanish/Dutch singer. She had to learn enough Spanish to sing his song, switched it up her way and killed it so well her version hit the charts. So good. All her performances were fire. The older fellow Henk Poort is an Opera singer famous for being the Dutch Phantom of the Opera (Floors inspiration and hero growing up), young guy in stripes Ruben is pop, younger girl Emma is a You Tube cover artist, Ralph is spanish/pop artist, other woman Samantha is more traditional Dutch/soft music, and Tim Ackerman is Rock/punk. It's a great show - just a bunch of artists sharing music in an intimate setting with a great backup band. (They toured with Floor all over The Netherlands after the show doing songs from it and a few Nightwish songs for fun)

[@beckyleavitt7808]

I love this show. The other singers are awesome too. Phantom of the Opera is awesome!

[@robertsheeler321]

I so love watching new fans turn into Floor lovers , you got so much to see yet . Floorgasm's are very real , enjoy the amazing ride your about to take

[@clivematthews5296]

There is a presenter plus seven singers and each show one of them sits with the host and the other six sing a relevant song to them. This song was to Emma Heesters the girl in the red dress. Floor was magnificent every week. Sings songs in English, Dutch, German and Spanish.

[@markmurphy3739]

Great reaction. You guys are for real.

[@richardstoddard9111]

All of the people on the couches are talented singers also. Floor blew them away.

[@Thorgrim247]

Now you can hear how versatile Floor's vocal ability is in many different genres. From Opera, to Metal, to pop. Wait until you hear her duet with Henk Poort (older man on the couch) doing "Phantom of the Opera". Emotional responses are a big part of her vocal ability. A full Floorgasm will make the hair on your arms stand on end and give you the chills. Loved it S & M!

[@ianmuir3028]

As Anders said below, Winner , the same show. This will make you tear up, it was written by Tim, the curly haired guy on the show, for his brother who is confined to a wheel chair. Tim always said that he never cries, until Floor finished the song. With tears in his eye's you can see him mouth the words "F&*k you Floor"". The link is below. Winner kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqXJgqSkqNCHhZo

[@michaelbelshaysr4525]

You will also enjoy the duet shallow she does on the show. But so many gems from that show for you to uncover including different genres and languages.

[@scottclark3761]

She did Phantom of the Opera on this show with Henk Poort....worth a listen. She also has done solo stuff on her channel. Alone, the Heart song, Let It Go and Into The Unknown from the Frozen movies. Floor is amazing.

[@droiduser9633]

Floor is a true treasure!

[@alleninfinity6730]

Floorgasms when you hear her singing, and your feeling tingles over your body. Everybody feels like Floor is singing to them, she is high sensitive, she doesn't just sing a song, she becomes feels it and sends it out to the listeners.

[@alexandersteinmetz6857]

yeah, shes something else. she could have belted them all to the wall on this distance, without any mic. as she sang it for the young lady, and knowing what it means to her, she altered the text and did her way, still or better more amazing then expected. did just find your NW recaps, going down in timeline, nice you two. you already got me as you were touched by noise.

[@liefde1911]

And still a long way to go………enjoy!!

[@m.devries9644]

Best female singer ever ❤❤

[@alexcrouwel6942]

Floor doesn't sing to your ears....she is a story teller and sings straight through your hart and soul

[@chuckvelten5337]

From Japan, check out the 5 phenominally talented beautiful musicians and women. From the incredible rock/hard rock group called Band Maid !

[@joeyc630]

Hey, you should definitely check out all of Floor Jansen performances on Beste zangers, awesome thanks 😀

[@michaelbelshaysr4525]

Not to mention alone a heart song she does as well

[@justlittleoldme]

You might like the acoustic version Floor and Troy did of the Nightwish song how's the heart but then everything Floor sings is amazing!

[@robbakx2451]

Hi Shawn and Mel. Check out Floor Jansen who did a duet with Henk Poort singing Phantom Of The Opera from the same show where floor did shallow. Beste Zangers 2919

[@islgrl292]

I like the one she does with Tim on the show even better. When she has someone to play against kicks it up tenfold!

[@williamthomas7509]

Now for a little Floor Jansen that will really show just how incredible her voice is. She appeared on Beste Zangers in 2019 this is a touch tv show where they have a panel of singers from all genres. Each episode is dedicated to one singer who sits with the host; the other singers will perform a song from the featured artists catalog or a song that is known to mean something to the artist. The links I'm providing are full episodes so you can get the English subtitles. In the series that she was in one singer knew Floor's work well, and Henk Port who is one of Floor's idols knew of her (familiar with but not in depth). All of the others didn't know of her ... so watching the back stories as each song she sings comes out and then the reactions as they all watch ... no won't be your type of music though I do believe you will be amazed by what she does. There are youtube versions of the songs without the back stories and without subtitles. if you can do a reaction with the subtitle clips and at least part of the back story it will make your reactions unique as no one does these versions that I've seen. Episode 1 is Henk Port, a well known opera/musical theater performer. Very well known for being the lead in Phantom of the Opera in the Netherlands and other parts of Europe. Andrew Loyd Webber said Henk was his favorite in the role. That is how Floor first saw him and she became a huge fan. She opens the singing for the series doing a song that Henk's mother sang often ... she was a well known opera singer. At 9:00 minutes in they start talking to Floor as she speaks about being a fan and the song she will sing. I don't want to spoil the surprise ... www.dailymotion.com/video/x7rql5i Episode 2 is Samantha Steenwijk who is a pop performer in the Netherlands. Floor is the first to sing on this half of the show with her version of a pop hit for Samantha. www.dailymotion.com/video/x7jsejl Episode 3 Rolf Sanchez (pop reggae mix there is a name for this but I can't recall) Floor adapts one of his big hits Start at 7:30 ... www.dailymotion.com/video/x7kqgvu Episode 4 had Floor in the seat of honor. Fun to watch and see the comments but other than Henk's version of Sound of Silence I don't recall a song that really stands out. None of them took on a Nightwish song. Samantha did take on a song that Floor wrote and performed with her own band before she joined Nightwish. OOPS correction Emma Hesters was off the charts a song Floor wrote about her mother's long battle with Rheumatoid arthritis www.dailymotion.com/video/x7vhxcu Episode 5 Ruben Annink a very talented young (20 year old) pop singer who writes some amazing work at any age but at his age ... incredible. Floor does her adaptation of a song he wrote following his parents divorce. This one is special . 20 minutes into show is where the backstory starts www.dailymotion.com/video/x7ooiva Episode 6 Emma Hesters a youtube sensation with over 4 million subscribers. She was known for her covers. She was working on her original album at the time. She's worth checking out on the show and her channel. Floor does a very unique version of a song that Emma covered to rave reviews. Shallow Floor puts a lot of thought and effort into what she does even covers. Starts at 46:43 www.dailymotion.com/video/x7vj0cx Episode 7 Tim Akkerman Floor sings a song that Tim wrote for his brother. The back story is very important to put the song into context. Floor with the help of her sister translated it and changed the wording slightly to portray the meaning of the song in English and to include pointing out that it also fit Tim. In the episode Tim was very open about how he was in a bad place in his teens and his mother placed into a hospital to get help for his anger / emotional issues. That is in part why Floor wanted Tim to hear that his wonderful song for his brother really applies to both of them. Start at 43:25 www.dailymotion.com/video/x7vhxcx Episode 8 Duets The last song of each season is duets where they pick a partner ... I think it's telling that only one of the singers chose Floor. They each chose one and only Tim Akkerman who already knew her work well asked her. She asked Henk Port to sing Phantom of the Opera with her and he agreed on one condition that when they could he would join her onstage with Nightwish to do it at a concert as well. Nightwish does a metal version now and then though not sure they have done it with Floor. Floor with Tim @ 28:40 ... yet another version of shallow. Very well done Henk & Floor @ 41:05 ... it was pouring down rain as they prepared to close out the season www.dailymotion.com/video/x7mnhr1 I really enjoyed your reactions because you got into the band as a whole while recognizing Floor's special talent Will Thomas P.S.: Floor Jansen … with her band ReVamp. Do a reaction this is the full concert from Graspop remastered. But the link is set to where Disdain starts … it will blow your mind kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIrHooyPrpaobqc Floor’s band ReVamp where she was the leader, song writer (for many of the songs). This link is the concert from the beginning. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIrHooyPrpaobqc

[@kondomonster]

There are two videos out there with floor singing with another band called Epica. You can tell that poor and the lead singer of Epica are classically trained. If y'all aren't Opera fans right now, you will be after watching those two videos.

[@eternalsoul3862]

Double floorgasim!!! 🤘

[@gunterreihnhol6507]

You have months of content to go if you center it off Floor's career. Her two previous endeavors "After Forever" und "Revamp", then of course Nightwish with at least four epic concerts to follow, Wacken (we say W's as a V), Wembley (back to W), Tampere, und Buenos Aires. Beste Zangers (Best Singers), her collabs mit Epica as well as Ayreon. We are set for a while und Gabriels list as well as other inputs are invaluable as to what concert has best version of song. Danke und bless..

[@knuffeldiertje]

Good that i saw your video! Went on september 1st to Floor her concert, that was the first one after 1,5 years from her and it was great! Henk Poort was her guest and they did The Phantom of the Opera as the last song. Have you seen that one?

[@lukegordon1493]

She can hit them high notes that make you 😢

[@joeyc630]

Definitely check out Floor Jansen on her KZbin channel for her covers, awesome 👌

[@petrihietanen1102]

"I was feeling, that I wasn't in my body anymore..." Well, that what Valkyrie goddess does to your soul.

[@kreso2606]

She can sing chinese telephon book and still be the best.

[@zulawoo]

The whole show is just about respect for eachother. Either their preference in music, the songs they sing, they like, whatever! It's no competition t all, just mutual respect. (Thought if it was a competition no one would get close to floor tbh)

[@schelienelie]

winner is also a great song she sang in the programm also a must check

[@larrywalling2844]

🤘🏻😎

[@RossNixon]

In some European countries J is pronounced as a Y. So Floor Jansen is said like Floor YAHnsen.

[@ccampbell0782]

Love your reactions...love seeing your facial expressions when you really feel it......but with that i just wanted to say a couple things as far as the production part when uploading the videos....sometimes your audio when editing is way too high and is distorting and not the same as what you are hearing in your headphones. Also Floor's last name is not pronounced JANcen the J has a Y sound. YANcen. Keep up the great work and def dig deeper into the Beste Zangers performances, I liked watching each episode in their entirety with sub titles where you can see how much Floor was unknown in her own country until this show.

[@mdudley52]

Floor's KZbin channel is gold also

[@billattercliffe8655]

Floor has been singing covers during the pandemic to keep active with her fans. You might enjoy "Adagio", originally sung by Lara Fabian. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYu1eX-Cgpt0i5Y

[@raiseyourhornz]

The duet with Akkerman for the same song from Beste Zangers is even better.

[@danielletoscano4509]

I strongly suggest you watch Floor and Henk Poort do “Phantom of the Opera” from this same show, Beste Zangers. Most people just end up wide eyed and open mouthed during the entire performance.

[@nyx_noir]

She is amazing! If you haven't heard her live version of "Ghost love score" 2013 you need to check it out

[@black4pienus]

All songs Floor Jansen did on Beste Zangers are phenomenal. Really, check them out.

[@pietergreveling]

Floor Jansen and Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera at Beste Zangers 2019! 🔥💥🥰✌🏼

[@bobblackbeardyt4005]

Next Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum live with lyrics.

[@gregzerby7168]

Try " winner" from the same show...Floor is amazing
