This is what I love about Metal music, the relationship with classical music and Floor in particular who studied opera and drama for 1 or 2 years that metal heads also listen to classical music. I myself am classically trained guitarist and find Nightwish fits my musical taste because of its relationship with classical music.

Floor singing some opera in front of a load of metal fans 😊. I think she sounds more relaxed here than on the television show where she sang this, although the sound may not be as good. Floor will tell you herself that she is not an opera singer, but she can do a good impression of one 😉

Here's the setlist from that ReVamp MFVF 2010 performance: 1. Here's My Hell 2. In Sickness 'Till Death Do Us Part: All Goodbyes Are Said 3. Fast Forward 4. Break 5. Million 6. Kill Me with Silence 7. Sweet Curse (with Simone Simons) 8. Energize Me (After Forever cover) 9. Under My Skin 10. I Lost Myself 11. O Mio Babbino Caro (Giacomo Puccini cover) 12. In Sickness 'Till Death Do Us Part: Disdain 13. The Trial of Monsters 14. No Honey for the Damned 15. In Sickness 'Till Death Do Us Part: Disgraced 16. Head Up High During that concert the sound crew scr3wed up from time to time (e.g. when Simone joined Floor on stage), which became somewhat of a tradition at ReVamp gigs, so it might be that Floor gave it a little extra just to make sure. Before OMBC, she sang "I Lost Myself", a beautiful and very personal song with just her and Ruben (on keys). Here's an example (if you don't mind the fan cam 'quality' and some in the audience just chatting through all of it). Notice her expressions near the end: the smile at 3:51 .. and then at 3:57 fighting back the tears. Cheers from Amsterdam!

Great professional reaction!

Beautiful reaction from a beautiful lady. Thank you Ilana. Floor is quite an amazing and unique vocalist. You are learning quite a lot about Floor. This song was performed towards the end of the show. It was a very intense metal show. You are also a very special and unique vocal teacher, singer, and vocal commentator and analyst. Your boyfriend is a very lucky man to have a relationship with such a beautiful, charming, and talented woman.

Floor Jansen sang this song also in a Dutch tv program that popularizes classical music, De Tiende van Tijl, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UeTyAZtV5wI.html Never mind, you found it 🙂

Hi Ilaria! Referring to your statement that you are not an opera voice coach - it is in Floor that you can tell how versatile a singer she is. She is almost perfect, she can sing in many different ways, she has no limits. The proof of this can be the performance in the Dutch TV program - "Beste Zangers" (i migliori cantanti) where there is no audience and only invited singers watch and evaluate others (max. 6-8 people). Each of them sings songs of each of them, or songs close to them (being part of their musical education). This season with Floor Jansen is just wonderful, you can even hear Latino music by her 🤣🤣 Ciao! And let's remember one very important thing - Floor Jansen is not, and never has been, and never will be like Maria Callas... It's enough for her to be like "Valkyrie Queen".

Bravo Ilaria, very nice job! Grazie Mille! 🤘

Hi FYI Floor also sings this with just a piano. I like this video the best.

Thanks! I watched this again, so I am sending more support.

Mi piacciono queste risposte. Ci metti così tanta conoscenza, amore e tempo. Grazie e saluti dai Paesi Bassi!

Thank you so much for doing these in English. I think it's interesting to see what words you chose to use. Though sometimes you use a less common word than most native speakers, I think I can say we all know what you mean and your intent. Good luck on your studies. Wishing you all the best. Cheers from NC, USA.

Dear Opera was invented in 17 century and was peformed without microphone. You can fond Floor s interpretation from I think 2019 around the internet.

Thanks! You put a lot of work into your analysis.

Excellent analysis and commentary as always.

I really like the place from where you approach your analysis, with a lot of humility and capacity at the same time. Maybe that's why you like Floor so much, they have the same virtues.

Hi Ilaria, I enjoyed your review of Floor singing O mio babino caro, I guess you liked it the same as I did. The first time I heard it it was the other version you found (which I think was better than this one); another nice piece she has done but with her friend Simone Simmons from the band Epica - Stabat mater dolorosa, it’s a beautiful duet!

I'm not super familiar with this opera, but this was an amazing performance. Floor has had no formal opera training, so credit where credit is due, she nailed it.

Muchas gracias por su atenta reacción.

Floor does the last line without breathing, as it should. The opera singer in the clips did not trust herself to do it without breathing. The line has to flow from beginning to end. That is a bigger mistake than missing the "t" in tormetno, haha. I don't agree on your assessment that Floor was too powerful. The critcism should have been that Floor did not adjust enough that she was singing with a microphone. Remember she studied this piece at the music university in the Netherlands (among other singing educations) and had to do that without microphone.

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘

Hi, very very beautiful ❤️

First she is stunning. But you have forget one thing - opera is peformed WITHOUT MICROPHONE. In the clip a cappella she is very good. She is simply godess

This Version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UeTyAZtV5wI.html has a higher Quality , its not live on a Concert , its live in a TV Show and she holds no micro in her Hands , its placed relativly far away in front of her Here is another piece you wont expect from two Lead Singers of Symphonic Metal Bands Stabat Mater Dolorosa with Epica s Lead Singer Sabine and Foor ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nhtOORYTGx8.html This is not opera but its amazing Harmonics from Floor and Sabine live in a Concert Sancta Terra ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cx22Yuj2nzg.html

Floor Jansen is not the only Nightwish singer to have covered 'O mio babbino caro'. The original Nightwish vocalist, Tarja Turunen, has also done a rendition with orchestral backing. I want to be clear that I am not putting this forward in the sense of "who is the best singer" - Tarja has had several more years of classical training and practice at the craft than Floor. But I am curious to hear your opinion on Tarja's singing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4NL6xSHWQv0.html&pp=ygUYdGFyamEgbyBtaW8gYmFiYmlubyBjYXJv

I donated for you to react to Gabriel singing Lead the Way by Mariah, her most difficult song and you said you would two weeks ago. Will that reaction be coming? Stu from NYC

That was good, you can call me prejudiced because I'm Greek, but Maria Callas is still the benchmark for Puccini , especially this aria and the comparisons pop into my head automatically

I hear nothing from Floor.

🇬🇧 Norfolk reports for duty so beautiful 😊
