The thing with Floor is that she never gave you the impression that she was "showing off" on this show ....it never came off as, " listen to me sing classical style , watch me do some salsa , country, contemporary AND im going to do all this better than you guys " never did i get that feeling from her , which just shows you how humble and nice of a person she is .

[@dutchman7623]

I do not know her privately, so I cannot and will not have any opinion about it, ask Hannes and Freya. But she strives for perfection, and will do anything to put a good performance on stage, or she want do it at all. ( And these are her own words.) She knew the concept of the show and could have known there were some artists with songs that would take some 'engineering' to make those her own, in such a way she could sing them. And I agree that she most likely did not want to 'show off', but had to commit to her own standards, do it well, or not at all.

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

​@@dutchman7623 It's a question of what motivates you: impressing others (the immature motive), or making the best work of art you can (which in case of a song is expressing the feeling / emotion / story of the song, and leaving the judgement up to the listener / viewer / reader). The latter is the motive of the real artist. And this is exactly where Floor shines: You get the feeling that she always gives the best performance she can, without being concerned about what you as listener will think. That is a form of artistic courage that separates her from a great majority of other singers and performers, and makes her really special...

[@dutchman7623]

@@rientsdijkstra4266 It is not a shame, or a bad thing, if someone wants to be the best in their profession. Show others how it should be done... and sweep them from stage. It is the only motivator to reach the top and to endure the pain and struggle to get there. Max Verstappen, Sven Kramer, Anton Geesink, Irene Wüst and Floor Jansen have that spirit. I know she was deeply dissapointed when others invested less energy in achieving this mutual goal. And I do not know her as a person, so I cannot say anything about other aspects of her character.

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

@@dutchman7623 Of course it is not a shame to want to be the best. But the examples you list above are (top) athletes. And sports is actually all about that: being better then the other guy or girl. But singing is not a sport (there is exactly your mistake) Singing is an artform (!). When I listen to a singer I want to hear something that is either beautiful, or that grabs my soul, or makes my feel emotions, or ideally: all of those together, as is often the case with Floor Jansen. And that is exactly why many more average singers do not grab me: they are trying to hard be the best (because they think that that is what is about). But I do not care whether the person who is singing is "the best", I only care what she sings, how she sings it and what feeling that gives me, and I do not give one shite about whether there is some other jojo that is "better" (how do you measure that).. That is exactly what makes Floor Jansen so special: she is one of the best singers out there, but she shows very little ego in what she sings, she just cares about the emotion and the feeling of what she is doing (she really feels the song, as many have said). She's not even trying to be "the best". And paradoxically it is exactly that that makes her so much better than other more averages singers, where I often get the feeling: "Yes..., you have proven that you can sing, really loud, high, ... etc." Now I am bored. Been there, done that... yawn... So that makes singing a very paradoxical activity: you can only be the best by not even wanting to be the best. Singing is NOT sports.

[@Rosannasfriend]

I actually like that your review starts off with the opening conversation before the performance, as well as showing a little bit of Samantha‘s performance of the song. Not enough people talk about her version and how great it was. She’s an excellent singer in her own right . She actually deserves more of her own reactions by coaches as well. So thank you for that mini analysis that you gave her at the beginning.

[@dutchman7623]

If Samantha would sing with a good orchestra behind her, she would reach much higher levels. She surely noticed that going fully into a song, not holding back, can be great.

[@Aity7]

It's the first time I hear the Beste Zanger version. The one she released from her solo tour is even more emotional. Great reaction and analysis, by the way 🙂👍

[@clemenstremens1940]

love her accent with the softer "g" (South of the Netherlands, yes that exists, Northern part has a hard pronunciation of that consonant)🤔

[@majbrat]

Floor doing Floor things. Hitting us with all the feels and blasting us with all that power. So awesome.

[@joritdekker]

I see we have another Chase Carneson watcher here..;-)

[@chrissturkenboom6080]

Hi, thanks for your reaction. What I like about Floor is; that she is able to express feelings/emotion in different languages that she sings. Even in the languages that she doesn't speak. Like Floor sang in De Beste Zangers in different languages she was able to express it. Yes, it's a special genre in The Netherlands Het Levenslied. The songs are always about Life stories/experiences. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘🇳🇱🌷🤗

[@pdutchie4924]

Such a beautiful song lots of people can relate to, especially when sung by Floor, chillllllssss.

[@christinaalgate4899]

I really like Samantha's voice and her passion. Floor and Samantha clicked with their mothers and horses.

[@mirjamvond1731]

I always love hearing Floor sing this song, because it is in Dutch and she has the same accent as me, with the soft Southern G 🙂 You don't hear a lot of soft G's on Dutch television either because it's all Western Dutch accents on tv. It reminds me that Floor is from my region and I'm proud of that 😊😊

[@henriveenstra1003]

Brabant rules 😉😂

[@anniecle8]

Crying before she started. Hard day for me.

[@hollandduck79]

there is a song from 2009 so for Nightwish with PUUR Floor sound that not many people know : Floor Jansen & Red Limo String Quartet : Energize Me (Live acoustic 2009) . people always think that Floor can sing so loud because her mic is fully open but that is not true this is PURE Floor sound ! . NO mic NO sound quality tricks . you MUST WATCH this

[@rdmrdm2659]

If floor wanted to do musical theater she would be an absolute star at it with that ability to express emotion and personality into singing.

[@fnglert]

IIRC Floor and Samantha, who hadn't even heard of each other before being signed to this season of the show, became good friends during and still are.

[@jpsother1183]

They share a love for horses and animals in general.

[@jeroenwubbels7824]

Dutch folk is either about happy happy joy, let;s party....or bluesy meant to cry your eyes out (a bit like portuguese fado's)

[@dutchman7623]

Samantha Steenwijk wrote this song when she was struggling with 'love'. She married but discovered she longed for something else. She cared for her husband but didn't find the happiness in the relation she hoped for. The struggle of feelings she had, made her to reconsider her life. She divorced her husband and started a relation with a woman. A difficult step, with a lot of problems, but for her it was the correct choice. She married her new love and was finally happy. The song is a call from a distance, without getting in real contact with her mother, asking herself what would my mother say, what would she tell me, how to go on? She was alone at first in her struggle, and only after making the decision she could talk about it.

[@digitalmouse3314]

No she is crazy humble she she blushes when meeting fans even she is so cute, lol her and her husband are awesome love them both so much and the bands.

[@digitalmouse3314]

Years of practicing to be a Metal Star she has made it so glad to have it the singer of one of my favourite albums joining my favourite band she so freaking good.

[@HansS11160]

The Dutch female name Floor means flower, from the French word Fleur. The normal Dutch word for flower is bloem and it sounds like the related English word bloom.

[@TimoArula]

silver black said it all .... I got nothing more to add... I just Love Floor's voice 🥰

[@Thorgrim247]

Hello Charlie! This was an amazing performance from Floor. Great commentary as usual my friend. Well done.🙏🙏🙏

[@NakedPigeon]

Floor can sing the text of a phone book, and still make you cry

[@rbreu]

I love this song and Floor's performance of it so much. The "kan niet slapen, kan niet lachen, het niet laten" bit always reminds me a bit of Jacques Brel. Maybe partly because he sings in Flemish sometimes, but also that very raw emotional, almost more like talking/shouting-instead-of-singing feel to it.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Floor 😍

[@alisehuisman9842]

Thanks !! Love Floor !! Great reaction !!!

[@spencerbutterbaugh6104]

Check out her recent version of this song in Amsterdam Live 2021. Sitting on a stool center stage. There is no other singer like her. Sublime!

[@frankramakers]

I don't know why I keep listening to this song. I'm tearing up. Great reaction.

[@xX_N_E_O_Xx]

When you mentioned the raw quality of her singing, i instantly remembered your reaction of evanescence your star 🙂

[@ZzKevZz]

Our Floor. She is soo good.

[@Populiervogel]

For me the best song of the show of 2019.

[@Rosannasfriend]

Me too, this and “winner”.

[@Populiervogel]

@@Rosannasfriend Yep, both tearjerkers, love them!

[@patverum9051]

Floor has a "soft G"characteristic for the south of the Netherlands,she was born and raised in Brabant province. The north has a much harder G sound like they are scraping the throat to clear it.

[@theglanconer6463]

Wonderful reaction. Dank je wel !

[@merqury5]

Im so glad u got through the phrase at the fourth go. Its a guided missile. Straight through the heart.

[@jurgenbruin3207]

I guess you already know, but Floor will do the German version of Beste zangers this year, and in Germany they don't know her... 🤣🤣🤣

[@swabia1554]

just like in the netherlands. I slightly disagree since Nightwish is way more known over here. At least Germany has a metal scene that plays a role. The Scorpions appeared on german television (main channel big eurovision show) with Tarja when she was still part of Nightwish. That is something that would not necessarily happen in the NEtherlands before beste zangers!

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

Dammit, here comes the Onion Ninjas again. ..😢😢😢😢

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

It's so hard to believe that Floor is tearing up the song and is still glancing at Samantha to see if see is doing a good job!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thomashoffmann1063]

There was an announcement that Floor will also be part of the German equivalent of this show Sing meinen Song - Das Tauschkonzert this year. It will start some day in spring. I’m German and so I hope I will not miss any part of it. She‘s just amazing.

[@milesromine9960]

Love this video. If you love Floor she can sing anything great. Zora is different no one else Is like her. There Will only ever be one Blackbriar.

[@nachtwens1091]

Hi Charlie. I really like your channel and The Big Brain Singers community. First off, I'm a big Nightwish fan and don't like to compare the singers. But Floor Jansen has done 3 different variants of Nemo. Wacken / Planet Rock / and the latest from Afas Amsterdam I would love it if you do a comparison of her different styles that she sings with.

[@BigBrainSinger]

Great idea 💡

[@marttivuorinen8475]

What you talked about expressing emotions and feelings.. Personally I would go as far as preferring a Song with bits of flaws and errors here and there as long as message IS delivered comparing to technically flawless that leaves listener "cold". Obviously that IS not The case with Floor singing this 😍

[@ToTheWolves]

Yeah shaking jaw, trying to keep myself from crying this am. 😭😭😭

[@MaHa-py4ys]

I'm not a fan of the "levenslied" genre, but if you want to do one from Beste Zangers also: Henk did one for Samantha, "Wees zuinig op mijn meissie". His tone there fits the genre perfectly. It's a lot of resounding singing. And although it's not exactly my style, if I'm at a bar with a good beer in front of me (and several inside me) it's nice to sing along ... -:)

[@linmonash1244]

Agree - it's about expressing the storyline - emotion of the song. Audience can be impressed or not. What matters is that YOU are satisfied that you gave it the best of your skill and heart. I too have a Dutch mother & oma - so the accents 'feel like home'. 😊

[@janscherpenisse3059]

😊👍Floor put that strong emotion in each song she sings with or without Nightwish! That hits my soul

[@jukkap.5722]

well..there is a reason why Floor is the lead vocalist of Nightwish...

[@PAULSWorld131]

My god, she is so beautiful

[@rdmrdm2659]

Look at Reuben there. He looks like he’s about to lose it.

[@wimpeeters7880]

Folksmusik singer

[@marresjepie1887]

The more interesting bit to me, was that she sang in Dutch. Afaik she never had done that.. Her soft ‘g’ , native to the South of the Netherlands shone through in a great, personal way too. Took off the rather harsh edge tnat Dutch tends to have. She even made me reconsider my deeply ingeained hatred for “Het Levenslied” ( song of life) for their utter banality and exploitative nature, and I have started to appreciate some Dutch-language music. Floor gave it the ‘Floor-sauce” .. and everything changed. And Karsu’s variation on a song in dutch dialect in tne latest show had me in stitches. A ao g.. in dialect.. that I despise even more ( self-hatred, much?? 🤣🤣 )

[@yvonnekremers4354]

Floor en gitaren maken zelfs het levenslied dragelijk

[@wallywest2360]

I think it's pretty impressive that Floor can sing, and enunciate, in several different languages. Just taking English as an example, there's a lot of things you need to think about in terms of how you want to approach the vowels, creating space where it makes sense, and just the way certain words and syllables sound one after another. But then to be able to do that in more than one language? Yikes. Seems like something a lot of singers wouldn't even attempt.

[@yousurf374]

is FLOORs chin dimple offset to her left? Or am I imagining things..........
