Floor has the whole package. She is smart, she can talk deeply about stuff, she is confident, strong and really focused on her work. Besides that, she can sing like no one. Sometimes it is hard to believe that Nightwish, my favourite band of all time, has teamed up with such an talented artist, it feels like dreaming. I am really anxious about the next album, seems like we are having more of it on the episode. Bring it on!!
Floor seems like a genuinely nice and lovable person. I really like her and I think she is the best thing that has happened to Nightwish. I wish Nightwish all the best for the future. Keep up the good work!
The good thing is, they put signs up above every row, so you can see what's in there. And for our convenience they translated it. But it's in Russian. So, you can choose which language you can't understand in my case. Heh, I love her. :D
The more I know about Floor the more I admire her. Great singer, fantastic personality and very commited with her work. I love this women! Keep going Floor!
I'm learning Finnish too, and I feel so proud that I can already understand what she asked the girl: "puhutko sinä englantia?" meaning "Do you speak English".
It is indeed very impressive. I would love nothing more than to be able to speak the language fluently as it is so beautiful but its extremely complicated and difficult to pick up, especially for those of us whose first language is English. Its also very hard to find proper courses as there doesn't seem to be much demand
It sounds like Floor's experience in Finland is similar to when I went there on an exchange trip. I lived near Kontiolahti, but I'd regularly take the bus to Joensuu to take dance class and go shopping. I miss the people I met there, as well as the country and having a sauna in my home. Coincidentally I was there in 2005 when Nightwish and Tarja parted ways, and I'd just bought an After Forever CD. I was thinking Floor would be a great lead singer for the band.
Interesting thing about the spoken Finnish and the official Finnish language part, because as a Chinese who speaks Cantonese (Hong Kong), I thought no other language would be the same in terms of the fact that spoken Cantonese is completely or at least very different, to when you write it. Writing Chinese as you speak Cantonese is not accepted in exams or any kind of formal official document. The only way for me to compare it to English is - is like trying to speak slang English for the entire sentences in English and writing in normal English... Learn something new thanks to Nightwish haha!
great to see Joensuu represented in a good light, still have not spotted her anywhere which should happen eventually since Joensuu is a pretty small place compared to other cities in Finland.
Finland's a weird place. In the west you have everything in Finnish and Swedish, but right along the coastline _only_ in Swedish, then in the middle it's just Finnish, near the eastern border you start seeing Russian, and if you go North the signs and everything slowly shift from Finnish to Sámic
***** Oh no, I think she's beautiful. No one said you had to agree. "Her voice is shit." lol. I could say a million things about that, but I'm not here to argue. It's fine to have an opinion and prefer Anette, but the way you stated it completely ruined a perfectly harmless post. It's "fans" like you that make us all look bad. Please, take your negativity and go enjoy Anette's solo work because she's not coming back.
Sounds like the Norwegians and Finnish people are the same in that way. Hard to get to know but once they let you in they are extremely likable and humble people.
Love her, good to see her doing well these days, I was reading Epica's Simone Simons's blog yesterday and randomly read an old entry from three years ago and it had her and Floor touring London, made me do a double take at the pictures, then I read it was Floor and smiled..
I'd like to hear some of the songs re-recorded with her, like Poet And The Pendulum. Tuomas has said that the albums are like his children, each one is precious and re-recording would be like regarding some child inferior to the others. And wouldn't it hurt Anette's feelings, what do you think...
***** I really have nothing against Anette. I like her as a singer, but after listening to how Floor sang the songs from Dark Passion's Play & Imaginaerum for the Showtime Storytime tour I really loved how she sang them with her soprano voice. I have a cousin that went to one of their concerts & he told me that he personally prefers more how Floor sings these songs. He said he was blown away how she sang Song to myself.
Celestial7Heavens I love Floor's versions too, just remembered what I read from some interview last year. Maybe they'll do some re-recording like they did with Anette (Planet Hell).
Now i'm gonna make a fool of myself. Floor Jansen you seem to be such a wonderful person and i am so happy that you like our country. You are a person i could easily fall in love with. I just wanted to say/write that. Thank you very much
I wish I lived in Finland just to run into floor at the market! I would be all like! "ahey! floor! what the hell are you doing carrying your own bags! Ill carry them" xD she needs her own personal servants.
1:45 damn that lucky girl, did she even know who is it?! :D And these people in supermarket, like seriously?? It's Floor. It's fucking Goddess right near to you, you fools! :D
The thing about finns is that we tend to keep to ourselves and mind our own business. I bet there are many who would go say "hi" to Floor if they saw her in the supermarket, but there's always just as many, if not even more of us who wouldn't, because we don't want to bother her.
I recall she said it was a work in progress so I think she'll add to it gradually. Personally, I don't like the design but maybe it'll be spectacular when it's finished :)
