Fugazi Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 More Floor news, she is taking part in what is basically a German version of Beste Zangers, to be recorded and broadcast Spring 2022. No clue if it will be available online though, past seasons of this TV show aren't readily available anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Rumours have it that Floor is off to South Africa to film that German "Sing Meinen Song" show. I think this will be streamed around April-May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 I think it will be a hassle to follow Floor on the German TV show Sing Meinen Song, because of copyrights and paywalls and such, but here's some info about what to expect. First the episode schedule. Just like Beste Zangers each episode is devoted to one artist, and the others will sing from that artist's repertoire. 26 April - Episode 1: Clueso 3 May - Episode 2: SDP 10 May - Episode 3: ELIF 17 May - Episode 4: Kelvin Jones 24 May - Episode 5: LOTTE 31 May - Episode 6: Floor Jansen 7 June - Episode 7: Johannes Oerding 14 June - Episode 8: Duets Next the songs. My source is https://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/panorama/sing-meinen-song-2022-teilnehmer-lieder-staffel-9-id60840911.html Episode 1: Clueso SDP - Keinen Zentimeter ELIF - Chicago Kelvin Jones - Tanzen Johannes Oerding - Flugmodus Floor Jansen - Zu schnell vorbei LOTTE - Gewinner Episode 2: SDP Clueso - Tanz aus der Reihe LOTTE - Ich will nur, dass du weißt ELIF - Ne Leiche Kelvin Jones - Kurz für immer bleiben Floor Jansen - Unikat Johannes Oerding - Millionen Liebeslieder Episode 3: ELIF Floor Jansen - Freunde LOTTE - NUR MIR Kelvin Jones - Alles helal Johannes Oerding - Unter meiner Haut SDP - Ich bring dich bald um Babe Clueso - Anlauf nehmen Folge 4: Kelvin Jones Clueso - Love to go Johannes Oerding - Only thing we know ELIF - Don’t let me go SDP - Seventeen Floor Jansen - Call you home LOTTE - Cry A Little Less Episode 5: LOTTE Kelvin Jones - Mehr davon Floor Jansen - Mauern Clueso - Zu jung ELIF - Auf beiden Beinen Johannes Oerding - DUNKELROT ZU SCHWARZ SDP - Fuck baby I’m in Love Episode 6: Floor Jansen LOTTE - Noise (Nightwish) Clueso - Sleeping Sun (Nightwish) Kelvin Jones - Storytime (Nightwish) ELIF - Fire (Floor Jansen) Johannes Oerding - While Love Died (Northward) SDP - Amaranth (Nightwish) Episode 7: Johannes Oerding SDP - Zwischen Mann und Kind Floor Jansen - Anfassen LOTTE - Alles okay Clueso - Im Februar Kelvin Jones - Blinde Passagiere ELIF - Alles brennt Episode 8: Duets Kelvin Jones / Clueso - Tanzen SDP / Floor Jansen - Amaranth Johannes Oerding / LOTTE - DUNKELROT ZU SCHWARZ SDP / LOTTE - F*ck Baby I’m in Love Clueso / Johannes Oerding - Im Februar Floor Jansen / Kelvin Jones - Call you home Clueso / SDP - Tanz aus der Reihe 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 New Floor interview in German media, hopefully the translation works for you: "Some people when they hear the word 'metal' they go, 'No, I don't want that!' Elisa Eberle - 17 April 2022 https://www-weser--kurier-de.translate.goog/kultur/wenn-manche-leute-das-wort-metal-hoeren-sagen-sie-gleich-nein-ich-moechte-das-nicht-doc7klo23e9vxzzcy5hngn?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 The same German interview about Sing Meinen Song was picked up by other media. So nothing new here, but I picked a few quotes. Floor Jansen: She didn't even know the other "Swap Concert" participants April 23, 2022 by Elisa Eberle https://www-prisma-de.translate.goog/news/stars/Sing-meinen-Song-2022-Floor-Jansen-kannte-die-anderen-gar-nicht,38153129?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp Some highlights: The biggest problem was the language. It wasn't just about singing the lyrics well, I also had to understand the story being told. Setting the songs to music a bit heavier wasn't that difficult, thanks to the band that is on "Sing mein Song". However, it took me a while to find my own style as the songs were all pop songs. But now I love all the songs I got to sing on the show. When they asked me if I would like to take part in "Sing meine Song" and if I could speak German, I immediately answered "yes" to both questions. It was only afterwards that I remembered: "Shit, I can't speak any German!" I live in Sweden and have been learning Swedish for five or six years. At the moment I speak even more Swedish than Dutch or English. That's why I had to really work hard for "Sing meine Song" to learn German within a few months. When we were in South Africa, I heard and spoke a lot of German, so every day it got a little bit better. We [Nightwish band members] had almost no contact at all. We didn't speak to each other. [🤔] Well I'm different. I'm a woman and I'm Dutch, so I thought: Okay! Then I focused on my solo career. I did a lot of social media and wrote new music. With Nightwish we organized a virtual show in which we were transported into a fantasy world via a green screen. That was wonderful, but only lasted a few days. So I'm all the happier to slowly start again and to see my Finnish brothers more again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 If anyone is looking for a way to watch German TV tomorrow for Sing Meine Song, this might work: VOX live stream: https://www.2ix2.com/vox/ There are probably other options as well. I'm not sure what time is the show though, and it's only available live as far as I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 Floor is on right now, I don't speak German but if I manage to record the thing I'll post it for you to watch later.

Fugazi Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 I have an auto-translated video of Floor's segment of the show. It's stowed here to keep it somewhat private given the tight copyright enforcement around this show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 I'm really looking forward to Floor's next week performance. The song she chose to cover sounds pretty emotional, even though I don't understand a single word.

Fugazi Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Thanks! They all agreed it's a difficult song even for native speakers, those fast and long rapped lyrics. Looking forward to Elif singing Fire in a few weeks, but I would have liked her to sing a Nightwish song instead. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 A few quick comments on this batch of songs: Floor Jansen – Call You Home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5poW3TQiiqY This is one where Floor turns the emotion up to 11, and it makes for a much better song IMO. Nothing against Kelvin Jones, he's just not pouring his heart in it! 😁 Floor Jansen – Mauern https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB-1_3HhB5k I love how this one turns slowly to metal, and German sounds especially well suited to metal singing. Can't wait to see this one on video. And it does makes me wonder how many of these songs (if any) will make it to Floor's solo concerts. Floor Jansen – Anfassen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgOwXeHNTCE Nice one, the band sound certainly more at ease with rock/metal than the Beste Zangers guys! The Nightwish/Northward/Floor covers: Lotte – Noise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBEHz6XemEk I like it! The minimalist dance music arrangements and singing are very much to my liking! Reminds me of the DJ Orkidea remixes, with a voice to fit. Clueso – Sleeping Sun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHxNEoct_j4 What the vittu is this? I mean, the song is okay but is Floor supposed to be awed/flattered by this? 🤔 Kelvin Jones – Storytime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5oGYEdXFk ☮️ A version that Crewish could have come up with! The spoken part is a bit weird, but fun nevertheless. Elif – Fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms4QoKD6ljM 🔥 I like this woman and the way she sings -- here and elsewhere -- but I would have expected something further removed from Floor's performance. Johannes Oerding – While Love Died https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXEKOZO5_mc 🎹 100% for the effort, but I can't say this is for me. SDP – Amaranth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8NKlLIPQ4M ⚒️ Another version worthy of Crewish! Pretty good. The duets: SDP & Floor Jansen – Amaranth (Sing Meinen Song, Vol. 9) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv8vIUctpbo I love how Floor goes for a harsher sound on this version than how she normally sings live. Looking forward to the video! Floor Jansen & Kelvin Jones – Call You Home (Sing Meinen Song, Vol. 9) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcLMCt5qttQ Nice duet, but honestly Floor's solo version is perfect as it is. I would have liked a duet with Elif or Lotte, but it was not going to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
