Floor Jansen sings Winner for Tim Akkerman Beste Zangers 2019 Eng. Subs - Reaction 

Tim’s current album is “Lions Don’t Cry.” Tim: I’m a lion & I don’t cry. Floor: Hold my beer, kitty. 🐱 😭

Tim had said in the first episode of the series that he has never been able to cry - they all took that as a challenge, but it was Floor who broke him open with this performance. Her natural empathy got her right inside the song and threw it back to him, and as Tim said, made a lie of his album title. Floor also describes herself as a vocal nerd, and it is through the learning of so many vocal techniques that she can take almost any approach to a song and perform it flawlessly without having to consciously think about technique (she's also said that if she notices herself having to think about technique, she isn't performing at her best - not that we mere mortals would know) - she just lets her empathy guide her, and the result is a uniformly excellent projection of the emotion and story of any good song in any style or genre. I feel lucky to be alive at the same time as such an amazing performer, who has so much versatility.

She is an EMPATH. She FEELS what the writer feels. She sings from her toenails!!! Yeah, that plus ACRES of talent and training!

When Floor says to raise your hands, you raise your hands. "I'm badly explaining how she changed her style of singing to better suit the song" - Pop 'divas' Sing one thing, one style, and the music has to bow to them. Floor sings what the song needs, for the song's sake. Floor bends herself to the art of - ... art.

Give it up for Floor Jansen, the best female singer in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this nice group of people😊

I got a chuckle how Tim said that Floor ruined the title of his album, "Lions Don't Cry". He says he never cries - not anymore. ;)

It seems to me she picked this song precisely because her superpower is tapping into the emotional context of music and channeling it. Both the story behind the song, and the way it's written are like rocket fuel for her performance.

Floor is amazing at putting emotions into her vocals. Such a beautiful voice from a beautiful woman.

Watching Tim try to resist crying and failing at it gets me every time.

Floor. She just rockets to your heart, and then goes straight through it. Immediately. That's a true gift of the gods. I know no other vocalist alive today able to do this in the way she does. She is just extraordinary. A true born artist in the purest form possible.

Next Floor and Hanks Phantom of the Opera. You a cool guy

FLOOR'S VOICE & Style are Magnificent. She's The Best IMO..and I've heard them All.

Before I never had a favorite singer. I had favorite bands like Pink Floyd, Nightwish and Rammstein, but couldn't really say I had a particular favorite singer. Now I do. Floor is my favorite singer!

Thanks for showing more than the songs - the setups and aftermaths are equally as important. Also, at 7:52 + Tim says "Ja, f*cking hell" :-)

When you get to the duet from Phantom of the Opera then make sure you are prepared. There is a reason why it is a common reaction for vocal coaches and a common recommendation from the army. If you want to experience her voice that one should be on your must watch list. When you watch it remember that Henk is THE Dutch phantom and actually also a favorite of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Floor has a very special ability to sing the emotions of lyrics, not just words! And that’s why she’s an excellent singer!

What a great show this was. We all waited every saturday for Floors song to pop up on youtube...and every time she nailed it...really enjoyed this. Take a look at Dead Boys Poem Buenos Aires...just so amazing

Check out Emma Heester on the same show. She sings a song for Floor that Floor wrote in tribute to her mother being so strong for her and her siblings. You can imagine the emotional response to that so check it out.

Can't watch this performance without tearing up. Great reaction!

There's also another version of Shallow from the show where Floor and Tim do a duet, the same episode where she and Henk to Phantom. Phantom was actually the last song performed on the last show of the season.

Floor was the only one to break Tim, then again... if anyone can break someone, it is Floor. Henk looking so happy and proud, checking back and forth between Tim and Floor and just having the biggest smile on his face, priceless :D Thnx for the upload and react :D

Your'e right. She can do it all. Effortlessly.

She sure knows how to put emotion into her singing............ Tim and her do a version of this song together that's worth a watch if you find the time. Great reaction

If this story/song doesn't touch you, you're not human.

Now you have to check out Floor singing “Strong” for her mother! It breaks me every time.

Some simple words here: Sir, you are a very pleasant person to watch...with, always, honest and straight fwd reaction! Greeteez from The Netherlands.

she is a beast

"Never again let the Dutch say they don't know about you." Gotta love Samantha for that, even if ya somehow didn't already. And I think this is one of the songs that hit #1 for Floor after this.

I always feel like she channels Anne Wilson in this performance. Floor is by far the most versatile female singer on the planet right now.

Thank you so much, so beautifull, love❤ from the Netherlands, stay healthy and safe🙏😷🍀🙋🏼‍♀️ 🇳🇱🌷🇳🇱🌷🇳🇱🌷

Floor Jansen would make an awesome motivational coach.

i'm dutch, a Nightwish fan. she will never be forgotten. listen also to "shallow", the version Floor sings WITH Tim akkermans. awesome too. love yor reaction again. keep following. greetings from the netherlands.

I love that Henk throws up the horns! :) (at 7:22, just before the camera cuts away from him)

Ive watched this performance maybe 100 times...... cry every time.

This is a song on his latest album...Lions don’t cry . Tim’ s zodiac sign is Lion. After the song he said you have ruined the title of my album...with a crying smile...:)

In the same show, Emma Heesters sings for Floor a song that Floor wrote when she was 25, referring to her mother health problems, check it out, that one also ends up in tears....

Emotional song. Powerfull lyrics. Phantom is going to blow you away. Please do not forget Floor's night on the couch.

Love the way you comment and react to this show. This season holds a lot of musical gems that will really blow you away; besides Floor's great performances. I encourage you to check them out, and then the final episode 'the duets'.

'That was an anthem of inspiration (for some people)'. That is well said. Can't wait for your reaction of the last two performances of Floor. After that I hope you will react to Henk Poort singing Noelia for the guy with the big smile in honor of his grandma. that performance fits in the line of quality of Floor performances.

Sweet reaction and greetings from Amsterdam. You're also a winner as we all are!!

I love Floor's angelic/devilish look at 0:29....she KNOWS she is going to make Tim eat his words about not being able to cry....

Your views/dislikes ratio is impressive. You're doing a good job with this channel.

Soooo Good!!!

Great reaction again,looking forward to The Phantom Oh and please dont forget to do Henk's version of Sound of Silence from this show. You cant do it to yourself to miss this one.............. Thanks

Absolutely supremely talented lady. Love her. As the Big Man says ''there is nothing she cannot do''!!!

Always tears with this song....so beautiful! Thank you for your reaction! 🌷🌷🌷

You mentioned feeling the same emotions as the 7 people on the "bank" (couch), but I'm jealous. We are watching it on youtube, they were within touching distance. All of these performances have to be so much more intense from that close.

The vocal coaches are saying this about Floor; Soprano Goddess, Vocal Sorceress, a Master too name a few. How about this one, The Goddess of Empathy...

She made this song come to life...

Also check out the Hotel California from that season, and find out who Og3ne is and what they are capable of. Little hint, Og3ne got thumbs up from Queen.

Floor Jansen sang the same song TOGETHER with Tim Akkermans Live at the NOC * NSF Award show

Chills every time I hear her do this song.

I've noticed a method used by other RU-vidrs to avoid copyright blocking. Mask the sides of the video with a black matte, basically changing the aspect ratio of the video from 16:9 to 4:3. I think it really only needs to be done for the Avotros component of the video. Your part can be left as is. Ya, it takes out some of the context of the video, but the essentials are still there.

Hi Floor is a very special person. I love her. I love it when she smiles. She is still powerful when she sings songs like Shallow.

Nice reaction. Also great song. Raise your hands

Only recently discovered your channel sir, glad I did. Thanks and keep them coming please!

I've seen all your NW and Beste zangers reactions and loves them all, great reaction man, keep it up!.

there's a lot of onions in this room...

This is amazing! I love this song and performance. ❤️

Love it! Great reaction. Good that you take to time to listen to the story around the song. It brings so much more to the song. Keep it up! There is also an episode where the other artists sing songs to Floor, you might already know. But there are some 'winners' there too.

Yep, Phantom of the Opera. Fun fact: Henk's condition to Floor for doing this with her was - that he could be guest star on the Nightwish concert in the Netherlands - and Floor immediately said YES. And Nightwish had to find room for an ekstra concert - so there are now 2 upcoming Nightwish concerts in the Ziggo Dome, with Henk as guest star, performing Phantom of the Opera live - and hopefully a couple of more songs, like his version of Sound of Silence... That one you also have to check out, from this Beste Zangers show - Henk did Sound of Silence to Floor - super cool version. Floor is also using her emotional power in some Nightwish songs - which you will discover - and here she is even more a beast.. I know what you mean by referring to other singers, and that is okay. There are some people that compares Floor to Freddy Mercury due to his versatility, and I think they are on to something - but Floor's voice techniques and voice toolbox are larger than Freddy's were, she is simply better trained, in better condition and therefore more power, and also still developing her voice - Freddy didn't have the time and health. Floor is unique and that's okay to be stunned by her. It is her passion to evolve her ability to perform, she calls herself for a voice nerd, and are her own biggest critics. From their new album, in one song, there is an extremely difficult ending in a special opera style that's hard to do. During the recordings they recorded it several times before Tuomas and Floor said ok, nailed it. Floor went home to Sweden - but didn't have the right feeling in her guts - so she listened again, practiced and rehearsed again - and then recorded it in her home studio - sent it to Tuomas - and that is the ending you hear on "Shoemaker" a masterpiece. Enjoy your dive into the Nightwish Universe - and you may soon be ready for Marco's and Troy's voices too, and the newer songs... 👍💪🤘🤘🤘

Floor - Simply the best! \m/

No one else is at Floor's level. However, a couple of suggestions: The Warning - Queen of the Murder Scene live from Lunario CDMX; 3 young ladies from Mexico currently recording their 3rd studio album so it potentially another rabbit hole for you. Within Temptation - Paradise featuring Tarja. I prefer the actual video. BTW, Tarja is the original singer of Nightwish. There is one other song from this show that you should not miss. It is Vivo Per Lei performed by Henk Poort and Emma Heesters.

great choice this version of the video with context before. congrats ! but still 2: duet with Tim ("shallow") and "THE" duet with Henk. In my opinion this season of Beste Zangers is the best of the best of this TV show. some great moments: Henk Poort with "Noelia", Emma for Floor: "Strong" (written by Floor), Rolf Sanchez - hotel california or the spanish version of "all by myself", Henk "sound of silence", .....

Loved your reaction to this one my friend. The Phantom! Peace.

For me, this performance places Floor Jansen with the great rock voices of the '80s and' 90s, such as Jennifer Rush, Ann Wilson (Heart), Annie Lennox (Eurythmics), Marie Fredriksson (Roxette). Tim Akkerman was certainly not the only one with tears in his eyes. I understand why you tend to compare her to Celine Dion, or Christina Aguilera, because although they do not have similar voices, they are somehow from the same "high class".

I haven't seen you do Mama yet either. She also did a duet with Tim where they did Shallow together.

This is very very powerful and emotional performance. But the real thing there is the ending, when Floor drops the bomb by quick braking. Excellent choise from her.

You should check out Emma Hesters and Hank Port's "Vivo Por Lei" as well, really good

This was amazing as you saw - but Phantom is on even another level, so be prepared. Hope that you do some of the other singers on the show also.

I’m looking forward to Floor’s duet with Henk Poort, Phantom of the Opera, and her duet with Tim Akkerman, singing Shallow.

Every Saturday Night we waited for the Floor emotional wrecking ball presentation. This week what genre, what language,... who cares you know when it is over she will have grabbed your heart and stirred your soul, and if you don't feel anything when Floor sings then you are either dead or in a coma and either way it doesn't matter!!! I swear this woman could make me choke up singing a telephone directory. The one song by Floor that has totally destroyed me is De Beelden Blijven (A Song for War Child) (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e6-6NVsbg6U.html). That song will destroy you if you are human even a little but it is well worth it.I often see the faces of the orphans we created during our fire fights in Nam and often wonder what ever happened to those innocent kids who paid for the brutality of the adults in world who should of been taking care of them not harming them!! Floor just rips out your soul with her motherly voice and demands that you not merely feel guilty but you do something about it!!!!

There's also another version of Shallow a duet with Tim.

I wish usa did this type of shows instead of x crap shows . This is emotion on live motion.

❤🤟

you should check out Floor's Husbands Band " Sabaton" they just dropped a new lyric video for 1 of their old songs. but i would start with their song "Bismark "

I always thought Pat Benatar might be a good point of comparison for this particular song.

Heard you talk about celine dion rolf sanchez does a cover of her for Samantha in this same show all by myself its great

she also did shallow again with tim

I look forward to Phantom. Nice run of reactions.

When you’re done with floor here make sure you watch Strong by Emma Heesters (floor wrote it). Plus watch Vivo Per Lei by Emma and Henk because it’s just a joy to watch. Cheers!

You said "Mama" was blocked, but what did you think of the song in Floor's version? Maybe I'm not the only one who's curious.

Hello from Montreal to Shaun, Great reaction again on a great performance as expected by our "Wonder Floor". After the Beste Zangers show, Tim Akkerman was so touched and impressed by her, that he invited Floor to perform that song in a duet on a live TV show for the annual 2019 Dutch Olympic Committee*Dutch Sports Federation award show last december. Man,... when Floor takes over her part, she really shines, ...just like her silver dress with her golden belting voice !! Wow the shivers all over! She is something else and well deserves all the present success!👍🤘 Please react to : « Tim Akkerman & Floor Jansen - Winner | Live at NOC*NSF award show » ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Bv3w0cyPXs.html Keep up with Floor/Nightwish journey,...we will follow too !🤘

OMG your hair changes colors 🙀

Keep going! But slip in some of their songs for her too

This one has a 90s country feel to it

Además de "The phantom of the opera"; de este mismo show de t.v. te falta chequear "Mama"; súper emocional versión de Floor. El link es: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sj1ibZrjQTs.html

👍

Please do not forget to check the acoustic sessions with Floor and Troy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RQ6PHvlWi7Y.html / ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yYtkPpFYzOo.html

i would suggest recting to the songs the others sing for Floor ;)

Check out Floor's cover of Heart's Alone when she was with Afterforever. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EpxOKueE-_0.html

I had to go hear Tim Ackerman's original recording of this to see just what Floor did with it. Tim's rendition was definitely a personal message to his brother; a bit softer. Floor made it into an anthem for all those like Tim's brother; a bit more dynamic. Both are very good it their own right; it's just a good, well-written song that lends itself to both styles. Kudos to all.

And if you are going to do Festive / Chrismas music reaction here are two suggestions. Every year in Finland Musicians get togetehr to put on a show Raskasta Joulua " Heavy Christmas " Seeing as Finland has the most heavy metal bands they performs Christmas music in a heavy metal style. Raskasta Joulua - Oi Jouluyö - Floor Jansen ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ym1Wc5dmUYc.html Ave Maria - Floor Jansen & Marko Hietala - Raskasta Joulua 2019 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ut6ufu2CPNg.html

Can't she just be a returning guest on this show? And I know what you mean with Celine Dion, maybe even some Mitchell... It's the emotion, humble but confident..

Ann Wilson more than Celine Dion...

all men are shorter than Floor ...
