Nightwish’s Floor Jansen walks into a tiny Dutch TV studio (Beste Zangers) and delivers one of the most controlled, tender, and emotionally devastating versions of Shallow you will ever hear. No belting. No stadium power. Just pure vocal restraint, breath control, aspirate onsets, and colours I didn’t know existed. I went in expecting metal-queen fireworks… I came out completely broken by how perfectly she honoured the song and the room. This is what world-class artistry looks like.
