PageMonster, OMG YES! I was thinking about that as I watched the episode! 😊

Great singers have the power to break people's hearts wide open and make them feel more intensely.... Floor Jansen has that power.

This was Floor's 5th song on this Dutch TV show where each week one of the 7 professional singers is put on the sofa with the emcee and the other 6 sing a song they have done or is important to them. This is not a competition, but Floor has done a Operatic aria in German, a Folk/Pop song in Dutch, a Salsa song in Spanish and a Country/Blues song in English besides this offering. That is 4 different genres in 4 different languages and each is short 4 mins but just awesome. She has really stunned the Dutch TV audience and the other singers with her vocals skills! You would really enjoy the show as the other singers are excellent as you might imagine all being professionals. Her most die-heart fans are as stunned and awestruck as everyone else with her performances on this program.

You're right, usually peoples who did 'Shallow' covers only focusing on the high notes but forget to deliver the emotion of the song. Floor Jansen really did very well on this, her expression, her body language, her interpretation to the song really well, and she's sing it with her own style.

This is the best siniging I have ever heard. The end

This is actually why I love Floor Jansen !

Floor is the Swiss Army Knife of Vocal amazingness.

This is my favourite version of this song. Floor is everything!

I once met her for a singing lesson, waaaaaay back, and she’s amazing in every way. 🙏 good to see people are noticing her talent outside the “metal” world.

This song was never able to reach me, it never moved me. Always found it kinda meh. When I heard her version I literally started crying. No wonder she’s been my favourite Singer for about 8 years now lol

About the ”loving quality” i noticed this term back when i had singing classes in university, the teacher commented that my voice had a ”loving and warm quality” because my low tones sounded ”like a mother”. I think Floor definitely has that (a 1000000000000000 times better obviously). When she sings so calm and slow her voice reminds one of how a mother would sing for a child. Some people seem to be have cold low voice, which works great for grave and serious songs, but floor’s so warm and gentle, which works great for emotional personal songs (and jazz!) Just my opinion, i could be terribly wrong :)

The power of this performance is in that Floor does the exact opposite of what everyone expects her to do and still kills it. That makes it twice as powerful. The movie is a year old now and thanks to radio, media and millions of not so inspirational covers Shallow has unfortunately reached the "overplayed" danger zone for many people. So by doing this her way, no band, not even a guitar, Floor actually gets away with covering this song this late to the party. She is beyond amazing, one of my favorite singers alive.

The best vocal of the planet!!!!

I'm 46 year old ,long haired,tattooed,6ft 235lbs man.....and this brings tears every time 🤷‍♂️

It is the proof that Floor can sing whatever you want her to sing, from classic opera to black metal

If you don't teary eyed listening to Floor you aren't human.

Beautiful voice and performer

She makes you feel everything doesn't she.. like a best friend that has a story to tell, a journey that you aren't allowed to hide from, and a welcoming, compassionate shoulder to lean on and hand to hold.

Lady Gaga is, without a doubt, an amazing singer but Floor is just perfection.

"Music is everyones languege we all understand it" So true!

I'm really impressed with the development of her voice. When she recorded the Endless forms most beautifull album with Nightwish, people said that Toumas "wasted her potential" on that album not really using her booming voice to It's full extent. However Floor herself felt the album was a different kind of challenge, since she haven't been singing delicately since back in her school days. Now we see the result of all that effort she put in and Ot's really beautifull, I can't wait for the new album.

Watching Rebecca giving a reaction to Floor Jansen is my favorite things recently. 👀😊

Denise Hofs did an English Translation of this episode already! In it, Floor did in fact mention that keeping it small was difficult for her. She has never sung Pop before so this was her Out-Of-Her-Comfort-Zone for the week.

Floor took a song I don't really like and turned it into something I'd buy. Number one on Dutch ITunes, I hope I can get it here in Oz. Oh, and great reaction as always, Rebecca 😀

Just now Floor posted a video on her ig that this song hits Number #1 in Netherlands iTunes chart... Congratulations to her...I mean she ought to be there!!!

Floor just melted me here the moment she started singing.

Goddamn it. Floor Jansen could sing the phonebook and I would still enjoy listening to it..

Its so soft and tender its feels it really take you with her into her story. I dont know how to descripe it but it is, like you can let go of everything and be embraced with the warmed in her voice going into a deep slumber...

I did not know there is a living goddess among us, she is beautiful..

This show has had so many absolutely fantastic performances. Very worth watching the full episodes with eng subtitles.

She's my nummer ONE female singer of the world. I follow Floor about 20 years . She's amazing 💖😎

Floor Jansen never failed me becomes emotional with her performance, her voice already had emotion in it, let alone the emotional song itself that she sung.

I'm soo glad you reacted to this one!! Don't forget the Sound of Silence cover by Henk Poort its breathtaking!!!

Then there is Floor............ I can't think of anything else to say about her. That was a very good breakdown of how she sang this song. That statement you made about you can always do more but just because you can doesn't make it better. Tuomas the composer and key board player for Nightwish says the exact same thing.

This show is a very interesting format: there gathering several singers and every evening one sits on the "hot seat" on the couch in the middle with the host and all others have to sing a song for this singer which has a special relation to him, maybe to his life, maybe written by him. This song Floor sung to Emma, the nice blonde younger woman.

Jesus christ that performance game me a mental heart attack. How did you not tear up while listening to this!?

One of the reasons why I don't watch these "vocal" tv shows, that there is rarely any restraint. All the emphasis is on power and hitting the high notes. (what I call "yellers"). It is so nice to see someone who CAN overpower it, not do that. Control and taste made this performance. Oh, and I loved your hand gestures too!! They actually do help follow what you are explaining.

Gracious Lady, A little girl called Courtney Hadwin sang a song called “Pretty little thing” on America’s Got Talent. That 13 year old child has piped a shockwave straight from 1967. A voice startlingly unique and yet familiar. All the ghosts of Woodstock turned to look. So must you.

I really like what you said about how just because you can do something, doesn't mean you have to do it all the time.

It was super that you put Floor's tecnics on - that's making me better understand what it going on. And you sometimes demonstrates - you can also use your voice and tecnics. Thank you Rebecca 👍🙏👌

I figured something out about what draws me here while watching this latest Floor reaction. I watch your channel to be introduced to artists I may not know of and to hear renditions of songs I may not have heard. When I watch your videos I experience music I would never hear otherwise fairly often. This very rendition of this song is an excellent example. But... The biggest draw for me is to see your emotional/physical reaction to the voices of the artists. Watching you react to these people and songs is a genuine pleasure and it reminds me how much power the human voice can hold. Thank you for putting yourself out there for us all to enjoy. And of course, the Spongebob references are most appreciated.

Well, just when you thought Floor couldn't possibly eclipse her previous performances, she just did--she sang Tim Akkerman's song, "Winner", indirectly to Tim's brother (Tim wrote it for his brother, who's in a wheelchair, but refuses to let his disability deter him from living to the fullest), by singing it to Tim. Goosebumps from the first phrase--the power of inspirational lyrics, sung by a masterful artist! Have a towel around your neck, to catch the tears on one end and wipe your nose with the other!

i'm loving her voice more and more with each performance
