Ann Wilson’s screaming “Alone” was the first time I remember a voice making my hair stand on end. Floor does an amazing job with hers as well.

Huge shoutout to Joost van den Broek for the awesome piano accompaniment.
Joost and Floor are regular collaborators going back to their time together in After Forever, and even working remotely each in their own home studios, they did an outstanding job.
I actually recognised his style (compare with Ayreon "The Day That The World Breaks Down) and checked it was him playing and was correct.
This is now, to me, THE definitive version. Floor doesn't just perform the song, she BECOMES the character!
I liked the Heart version, but this one I LOVE.

[alacranypistolero]

Floor’s voice and artistry + Elizabeth’s understanding and reaction = amazing content. Thank you!

What i love most about this is the way Floor sings "cared" in the chorus. That cry she does on the "e" always gives me shivers

This is perfection for me. My favorite singer, singing the song I first danced with my future wife too by my 2nd favorite female singer. My wife was still in high school in ‘87. We meet at a club teen night and I asked that redhead too dance. It was Alone by Heart. We also danced to it at our wedding 2 years later in 1989. I discovered Nightwish and Floor only 2 years ago and have been a huge fan ever since. The union of her and the song is magical. As usual, you do an amazing job at reviewing. Even for us non-singers, you help us understand the vocal instrument without getting us lost. Thank you!

Floor did some nice Cry fry too. I call it 'cry fry' when they add vocal fry at the beginning of words to sound like they're beginning to cry to add emotion to the word.

I love how animated your face gets and how the joy you feel from the music is reflected by your expressions. 🥰🥰🥰

[k.c.sunshine]

I loved seeing the repeat Floorgasms. This is a very nice song and reaction video.

[JPBennett]

As lovely as Floor did on this, shoutout to the audio engineers. Whoever produced this is top notch. The mic selection and placement, the EQ, the reverb, it's all perfect. The piano even sounds amazing. And all while it sounds like the engineering is staying out of the way.

[jamesstaplesv]

her voice is a poultice for pulling tears,

[cydrych]

Floor just sits with elbows on knees, hunched over and still sings better than most ever will. She is a superhuman.

[DanielGijsbers]

It's so nice to see how you enjoy beautiful sound in physical mimics.

[sleeepwalk]

About high notes, you need to hear the banshee scream from Romanticide...

[marvinboswell]

This woman is a music machine and a voice actress . Enjoyed your reaction

[kengaroo]

If you watch Floor, Marco, Troy and Kai do this live on the Nightwish cruise, Marco says, "She's going to do it. She's going to do it!" like a little kid, right before "The Note". It's worth a watch.

[juliettemcgee]

Love your fuzzy sweater 🧡 Alone was the song my mom played the most back in the day (RIP momma🙏). Looking forward to your reaction to Floor's awesome cover. Tis' gonna be a goodie!

I guarantee it will make your music listening experience that much better. You can find the course on my website here:

[jlovell]

Let's give props to the pianist as well. That is an amazing composition. Lovely effort from both voices.

[danmartin]

I have heard just about everything Floor has performed and though there are more dramatic performances I keep coming back to Qué Se Siente from Beste Zangers. Floor turns a Salsa song into a sexy metal song and completely blows away Rolf Sanchez. She said Spanish was difficult for her but you would never know it listening to her. As a vocalist you will see her go from a breathy sexi voice to a full on driving belting voice. She uses breath releases to accentuate lines and make then
sound provocative. Seeing Floor with her hair up and a flower in it is a rare treat. If you choose not to do a reaction to this then treat yourself and watch it just for the pure pleasure of watching her sing for Rolf, you will be thrilled you did!

@Elizabeth: Joost van den Broek is not some random collaborator, he was Floor's bandmate in After Forever, they covered this song with the band in 2007 for the Metallic Emotions release which contained emotional songs from various artists... also including Nightwish(Eva) :)
So Floor basically re-covered this song :)
