My Take
Floor Jansen is, to my ears, one of the most technically commanding voices in metal full stop. When Nightwish brought her in as their third frontwoman, I was skeptical that anyone could fill those shoes, but she silenced everyone instantly. What floors me is her range, sliding from operatic soprano to gritty rock belt within a single phrase. People forget she was leading After Forever at sixteen, which tells you how early her talent surfaced. The Dutch singer later won the Popprijs, and honestly her stint as a coach on The Voice of Holland introduced her gift to people who'd never touch symphonic metal. A genuine powerhouse.
