I believe Floor is a empath... In a interview she spoke on joining the band and how herself and Tuomas had a sit down where Tuomas explained each of the songs, the personal meanings to himself, and the stories behind them... She was able to internalize and personalize the emotions of the songs which is absolutely essential to being able to perform songs that she didn't actually write. On beste Zangers she put on a masterclass of emotional connection to cover songs. She changed small lyrics to personalize the songs. You could tell she made it a priority to fine a way to connect to each song... In the end her versions we as emotionally impactful and authentic feeling as the originals and sometimes more so. It's a special gift floor has for sure.

Very interesting point! You may be right... I wondered myself why she has such an impact, when singing and performing. For me it is almost addictive, watching and listening to her performances. Even interviews... She is so in tune with everything she does, respectful always... A wellbalanced woman. I am convinced she is living her souls purpose. You can't get more genuine than that.

I totally agree with you. There is no question about Floor being a singing nerd. Very technically proficiant. But if that stood alone she would not have the impact on people that she does. She's one of the best storytellers I've ever seen in a band / solo artist. In that regard I can't help but liken her to Geoff Tate and the very non rock Lara Fabian. As far as I remember she also had the musical bug in her younger years, and that certainly shines through.

It's up there. Along with Slipknot at Download in '09.

I say Floor made it her song. I like her belt and flowy, uninterrupted singing more than Tarja's operatic style, who often gasps for air.

This is exactly how I felt the first time I heard how she performed it, and I’m 100% on the other side of the street after multiple listens, as I believe she simply made it her own. And wow, does she rock it. Despite being a lighter song overall, I feel the arrangement and instrumentation leave plenty of room for this type of interpretation, and for me, there’s no going back.

Floor has said on multiple occasions that operatic is not het favorite style, so she only sings it when it's required. For instance, she did Stargazers (Wembly and Tampere lifeshows) in a more operatic style, but you can hear it's not her preference. Also in the opening act to The Greatest Show On Earth (Life @ Tampere) you can hear her trying to maintain that operatic voice, but slipping in and out of it the whole time.

I'm so happy, that you got to get a song with them

Great reaction. This Ever Dream performance was blow my mind, it must be hard to sing like that Live. Thanks for your reaction to this song.

I would love to experience your reaction to, Shudder before the beautiful at Wembley Arena. :D

This was pretty good reaction video. It has become somewhat of a hobby of mine to watching people react to and break down what they like and don't like in a song. That being said I am going to become somewhat of a critic myself what bothers me the most is when singers and music critics take a clip of a 2 and a half hour live concert and and say well I think a little bit softer here or a bit more opera here as if this song was the whole performance, of the night when in fact if I remember correct it was the 5th song of the night ( what did she just finish singing 10 seconds before this song began?) was she on the right mark on the stage so the camera got the shot what song is he going to sing next. but in reality it was 7 minutes of a 2 hour show in front of 80,000 people being filmed and recorded in real time no cuts no retakes. now if this was say a live performance of just this one song then I myself would have wished for a little more here and there but over all this being her first tour with the band she nailed it over all. I hope you don't take this as an attack on you its just something that bothers me on these types of videos. I stand by what I first said it was a good reaction if just a bit out of context I hope to see more.

I lean on the Tarja version side too, but I still like this of course. It's just that especially after the key change it feels kind of too hard for this song.

She had you fooled for a minute there, Elvann! But it was only gaining space for her and Marko to run. Sugestions: how about Epica Stabat Mater Dolorosa ft Floor Jansen and something very old, Manowar The Crown and the Ring live MCF 2008 (it's originally from 1988, a choral in wagnerian style in homage to the master of teutonic epic, a must for anyone curious about the mixing of metal and classic)? Btw, I know how ancient the original Mater is.

Nice reaction:) Next time I think it's time for some Norwegian Symphinic Black Metal!:) Dimmu Borgir with 'Gateways' maybe, or 'The council of wolf and snakes'? First one is kind of more like a nightwish-sound, but the second one is more like -a brand new way of Symphonic metal, mixed with some really interesting Native bits in it:) Hope at leat you think about it:) Hello from a Dude in Norway named, Tom-Erik!

She push her limit while belting and sustaining those notes, it's hard to do something like that live in open air in front of thousands peoples.

Floor is a remarkably adapt singer - her performances on the dutch Tv show Beste Zangers shows that she can adapt to a multitude of styles, though this song in particular i do prefer tarja's version. I've seen Floor perform live too with nightwish recently, my god she's one hell of a vocal beast - her performance during poet and the pendulum nearly reduced the entire arena to tears (Tuomas the keyboardist was uncontrollably crying at the end of that song too)

The wembley version is more focused on her head voice technique, same with She is My Sin.

I really like that you really appreciate Floor (not that hard. Because she is amazing) But also don't forget your own taste. And dus analyse accordingly.

I like the Tarja era but it never got me deep into Nightwish. Neither did the Anette era, but when Floor joined - I was hooked and now I'm a fanatic. In my opinion Floor has made almost all songs better in my taste. There are still some of the old Tarja songs where I prefer Tarja over Floor, even though Floor does them complete justice when performed live.
