Top 10 Best Songs by Floor Jansen

The sensation from Beste Zangers. A classical musical song that turns into an opera-metal duel. The chemistry between Floor and Henk Poort is electric. The ad-lib at the end is otherworldly high and hard. It went around the world and brought opera to the charts. It's grand, theatrical and technically perfect. The song that made Floor Jansen a household name.

"The Floorgasm". The moment she conquered the world as the singer of Nightwish. The end of this ten-minute epic is unmatched. She adds notes and ad-libs that weren't on the album. The reaction of the audience (and YouTube viewers worldwide) says it all. It's the definitive version of a symphonic metal masterpiece.

The duet by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, but Floor does it solo (or live with Tim Akkerman). She sings both parts with stunning ease. The transition to the loud rock section is goosebumps. She gives the song a raw edge that the original lacks. It shows her versatility and pure vocal power.

A cover of Tim Akkerman from Beste Zangers. She makes it an intimate, acoustic gem. The cello in the background is beautiful. It's about the sacrifices you make for success and the love of music. Floor sings it with such empathy that Tim Akkerman burst into tears. One of the most beautiful TV moments ever.

Her first real solo single. A pop ballad written specifically for her voice. It's quiet, melodic and accessible. It's about the inner strength and fire that burns in her. It became a big radio hit in the Netherlands and introduced her talent to a wider audience beyond metal.

The follow-up to 'Fire'. A bombastic pop song that sounds like a James Bond soundtrack. The brass and strings are grand. Floor sings about enduring difficult times. "I'll be the storm." It's powerful and confident. A song that stands firm and fits her image as a strong woman.

A cover of Loreen. Floor strips the dance track and makes it a powerful rock ballad. The buildup is phenomenal. When she ad-libs in the chorus, the windows rattle. It's a masterclass in singing technique and passion. She turns a Eurovision song into a timeless rock anthem.

The Disney hit from Frozen, but in a metal jacket. Floor sings it with ease and power that Elsa would be jealous of. She hits the high notes without any effort and gives the song a tough, adult twist. It proves she can master any genre and make it her own.

A cover of Samantha Steenwijk, translated into English/Dutch. Floor sings it for her own mother. It's small and fragile. You hear the emotion in every breath. It shows that she doesn't need a wall of sound to make an impression. A beautiful, personal tribute.

A duet with Russell Allen. It shows her metal roots. It's heavy, symphonic and dramatic. Floor effortlessly switches between her powerful rock voice and her classical soprano. It's an epic song about a cursed love. For fans of the harder work, this is a treat.
