I don't know if you've heard of it or reviewed it, but I would really commend the Nighwish Phantom of the Opera version, quite a unique one.
New here , just asking have you listened to original Nightwish phantom with Tarja Turunen ?
The both of them sang a song from Jekyll and hyde from Broadway NYC. I saw that musical 20 years ago. In 3 years i went to it 6 times. 5 times with the original singer-songwriter and the other a matinee with the second jeckyll and hyde. D
Henk poort en Floor Jansen. It’s a dangerous game. 20 year later and it sounds technical much better. I love the musical but I love them too. Love from Holland. Britt van Bokhoven
Please, do an analysis on Tommy Johansson's version - he is singing duet with himself.
Please react to Floor's performance of the operatic Vilja Lied from Franz Lehar!
Floor saw Henk Poort as the Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera when she was a child. He's her childhood hero, so singing this song with him is a dream come true for her. :-D
When she knew Henk was also in the show she deceided to also be in it. And from the first second she saw him she said they will do this song.
She deserves such honor. Floor is an amazing singer and performer!
@@vaclavfilho1131 Henk deserves an equal amount of honor
@@theshiftybloke4672 no doubt about it! It was an amazing duo performance! 😎
@@vaclavfilho1131 Yippyyyy
The joy on your face when you're listening to music is so charming to watch :)
So hot... So so so hot! 😅
LOL, I LOVE the giggles.
@@MrJagger112 Only a true simp gets offended and defensive about being called one. You just demonstrated your level of simptitude by getting upset over a meme.
@@BeHempy And I suppose you are one of the big and oh so strong "Alpha-males" for insulting people from behind a computer screen? :)
Yes, it’s true!
Producers: "Hello Floor Jansen, what range and variety can you sing?"
Floor: "Yes"
EXACTLY! She is AWESOME!
I had to laugh out loud there, but yes you are absolutely right. I've seen her live before she joined nightwish, she is an absolutely amazing singer.
Can't hit the E as this song should at the end, as can't Tarja. At least that's what i remember learning from Elizabeth's videos :]
I heard this said in a comment somewhere, and it's so true. "Most singers sing what they can. Floor sings what she wants." :)
True. She can even growl. ^^
She can indeed and put her together with Henk Poort they will blow youre mind
Floor hits a D6, which is a whole tone lower than the original score of E6 _BUT_ not only does she sing it _live_ (most actresses playing Christine would often have the E6 piped in during performances if they were concerned about not hitting the note live that particular show or they were saving their voice), she holds it for _SIXTEEN BEATS_ (the original score has it written as a dotted whole in 6/4 time, which is six beats).
Simply put, Floor hits the note a whole tone lower than originally written, but does it _live_ and for _two and a half times longer._
Woman's a legend.
According to Wikipedia, her range goes up to F6.
@@k_enn Tornadoes only go to F5.
Your reaction to Ghost Love Score was one of the best I have ever seen. Your passion for great music and singing was clear for all to see so I look forward to this reaction
Could not agree more with M. Preval here!
"He sounds like he's done more opera."
Understatement of the century.
What she means is probably more into opera than other styles. While Floor is both metal and opera so she mixes alot of it. I guess you got that but incase you didnt!
Emil Larsson no he actually played the phantom on stage. pretty sure that’s what was meant.
Henk poort, played the phantom in de musical here in Holland
"He sounds like he's done more opera."
Well, you're not wrong! :D
Andrew Lloyd Webber named Henk his best male voice in 'The Phantom', did the show more then 600 times
Honestly...I love just how much you're geeking out to them singing...just so much fun to watch your reactions. Also...Floor is the absolute best
:-D confirmed vocal nerd here.
@@TheCharismaticVoice confirmed vocal virtuoso is more accurate...I've seen some of your videos. You are phenomenally talented!
@@shanehughes740 Amen to that, brother!
I read in BIO "...Elizabeth Zharoff is an international opera singer..." and I said to myself "let's check this out" CAN she sing?
well... YES, SHE CAN!!! as you said... PHENOMENALLY!
I think her and Bruce Dickinson are my favourite singers/performers ever. They are both so goddamn talented and very entertaining live. I have a few videos of them. I've seen Maiden 5 times and Floor/Nightwish twice. I saw Annette Nightwish once and it wasn't very good.
@@TheCharismaticVoice can I just say I love when you geek out XD
Henk Poort has definitely done more opera. He's had an opera career of over 30 years, including playing the Phantom of the Opera . He is considered by many, including Andrew Lloyd Webber, to be the best Phantom ever.
No one beats Crawford... He is TPOTO!
@@v4v819 Though not the best according to ALW. That honour he reserved for Henk Poort.
@@roykliffen9674 There is no best in art... He has his opinion, I have my own- which i stated above. To me Crawford will always be The Phantom... His portrayer is akin to my own sentiments of the character, and his performance hits closer to my heart and evokes a greater emotional catharsis than the other actor's rendition. That's what makes it art!
And also, he's the original- they all are standing on his shoulders as the master-type. And you know what they say- you can't beat the original. ;)
Though, The Phantom of the opera is not opera...it is a musical :)
@@Tapio86 So the man has done some musicals as well. He has been in over 20 opera productions. I think that would classify him as an experienced opera singer.
I really love how Floor has opened the eyes of a lot of Dutch people who were thinking metal was just noise and people screaming. All of the other artists on that season of Beste Zangers only perform in genres that are completely different to metal but seeing them all being blown away by Floor was just awesome. I can't listen to this version of the song without getting chills all over my back
Uhm within temptation
@@nickdeleeuw8866 great band but this performance it's epic
Uhm, metal is life.
@@andreisabogal6953 The Marcel Fisser Band does not get the attention it deserves. No telling how many hours it rehearsed with Floor and the rest of the singers. They deserved all the accolades they didn't get.
I loved metal first before I fell in love with opera. It has so much in common!
In this show she also sang Vilja Lied with her operatic style. Just awesome, too! Recommend! 😀
Floor sang Vilja Lied for Henk. His mother used to sing it for him ❤
What note is the last in "Vinja Lied"? It seems very high, but I don't know how high. Maybe higher than the last in "The Phantom of the Opera"? Sorry if I am wrong :)
@@georg3607 I think the last note in vilja lied was slightly lower (After listening to both, i think that's 3 semi-tones lower), but still very high indeed.
But yes, Vilja lied would be great to listen to, for the more operatic sound.
3:37 I guess Henk Poort is less known in the "opera world" than i expected. He is singing opera for 20 or 30 years across opera houses in Europe. He is a barriton. During this show he did his first "growly voice" and realised there is technique behind that to not destroy your vocals
And he did that in that particular occasion just to give Floor a little surprise of his own, cause he knew she'd love it; and you can see in her reaction she definitely was pleasantly surprised....There has been for a long time a mutual respect and admiration between those two..And I'm glad they did this.. 🙂
@@minumero4094 Well he did it first on Floors day when he sang sound of silence. But yeah it's pretty awesome to see someone with that much experience taking clues from other genres.
For Opera try "Shoemaker" from the newest Nightwish album "Human :||: Nature" - it is on RUclips 😢
only the ending is operatic
Shoemaker is not opera. It's a symphonic metal hybrid version of it. She uses forbidden vowels when she sings. Still an amazing song though.
@@pv2xeek Forbidden Vowels? Dude, in Music nothing is forbidden! Only opera dread heads are this way that's why I normally hate opera people. They always think they are top notch and only their singing is the latest and greatest singing. Nothing is forbidden in Music, period. Everything which suits the songs, the feeling, the story behind the song is correct. That's why the last part of Shoemaker was so difficult for her to do. You can, like a typical narrow headed opera singer over and outpower the song, make the voice the showcase of the song. Or like a human with a lot of empathy and feeling about how to place vowels like Floor to use the best fitting vowels and the right amount of power. Shoemaker is about Eugene Shoemaker and his life! A song to honor him and nothing else, the goal was to transport in the ending into space, directing it to Eugenes resting place on the moon. To transport this feeling and support it you have to adapt your singing... forbidden... wtf, haha.
That is why she is so good. She is not only one of the best singers because she sounds good, we all know that. She is so good because she knows how to use her skills right and to support the song, to transport the message as it was intended by the song writer. The songs from Beste Zangers are a good example for that. Hear it in Shallow or in Winner. She knew how to transport this to the audience and transport the message. Especially the one from Tim, "Winner".
@@firefox7530 Agree totally, but I suspect that The Charismatic Voice would agree with @J U.
Yes. Shoemaker is fantastic and it only gets better when you know the story behind it. Very short cliff notes version: Eugene Shoemaker was one of the founders of planetary science (his contributions to science are far to numerous to mention) and was supposed to be on a Apollo mission to the moon but illnesses prevented it. When he tragicly passed away in a car accident some of his ashes was put in a urn (engraved with the Shakespeare quote in the song) and sent with a probe to the moon some time later. So in a way, he did get there eventually. Only human buried on another celestial body (there are a few others in outer space and orbit)
Henk"s last "sing to me" so powerful, it fed back into both mics to give a" huge room " type echo --wow-- Best Phantom ever!
I liked his penultimate "sing for me" ..... that almost whispered, growling with an incredible menacing and sinister under-tone "sing for me"
They are so awesome together
That's what Andrew Lloyd Weber says.
Henk played The Phantom in the Dutch version and is considered by Andrew Lloyd webber as the best Phantom ever
very good observation
Without taking a thing away from Floor, what I really love about this is how Henk transforms himself into The Phantom. HIs body language, his facial expressions, the way he positions himself in relation to her - you can just see the transformation as he sings into the role.
And of course Floor is my current favorite female vocalist in the world and that by far.
That's not a miracle he has played this role in the musical for more than a year. He on stage for 4 decades musical, opera and operetta
Henk has played the Phantom in the Dutch version but this duet was filmed after they had sang for eachother in their solo episodes of Beste Zangers
I love her version of Lady Gaga's "Shallow" too (at this show) - so gently and emotional.
Lady who?
and so completely different from what normally what Floor sings
Lady who? X2
+1 for recommending this performance, it really blew me away
I waited for your reaction and I love your joyfull face when doing it. She did Shallow in a complete different way. Breathy and small. You will be amazed!
Re: The Rock Style she is adding -> they are playing the nightwish arrangement of the song, hence also Henks rasp and intensity (which he did the first time ever for this and his interpretation of "the sound of silence" in the disturbed-arrangement, same show, for floor).
Nightwish - Poet and the Pendulum....you will not regret the masterpice !!! :D
With her musical background, opera, I believe Elizabeth would love "The Poet and the pendulum" - Nightwish, HQ with lyrics @ Wembley. And she would hear Marko, the bassist, on vocals for the first time. "7 days to the wolves", at Wembley Arena would be another great song for Elizabeth to react to. Floor and Marko sound so good together.
Way too early for Poet and the Pendulum. She needs more information about Nightwish, this song and what it means. Without the background and also lyrics up on screen it is almost impossible to do Poet and the Pendulum any justice in a reaction.
But I agree it is a masterpiece. Let's just wait for the Nightwish Army to give her the background.
@@dirkdorner701 Backround story and lyrics video yes, and then she is ready to react. Because with her pace it will be a couple of years until she has gone thru all of the NW live performances, if she's even ever willing to do that. Can not wait that long for her reaction to "The Poet and the Pendulum."
@@Idefixu Yea, maybe you are right, but maybe one other song before just to get into it a bit more. ;-)
@@dirkdorner701 I mean she has enough information about singing, which is what she's reacting to - singers' ability to sing. That's enough to judge Floor's skills :)
Henk Poort is a beast, seeing him growling on, for him, a new version of this musical, since he already had singed Phantom of the Operah a thousand times, he diserves all the respect.
It was a fun callback to his version of The Sound of Silence that he sang for Floor in her episode of Beste Zangers. He had to learn to use distortion for that song
@@marcch72 I think it's a nod to Marko's rendition of the Phantom, which Nightwish has been doing for quite a few years (originally with Tarja as their vocalist.) Floor was obviously tickled to hear it from Henk.
One of the most entertaining aspects of this performance to me are the reactions of the other four participants. Like, "these two are in a different universe from us, singing -wise."
Check out what Floor did with Vilja Lied :) Same show Beste Zangers 2019 and Nightwish'new song Shoemaker, there is a lyric video of that one
I agree with the Vilja Lied suggestion. It's the first performance of the season and sets the stage for the rest of it. Seeing the other participants react to her for the first time is absolutely a joy to see.
Yes I agree as well!!!
I second that suggestion too, love the way they react to the wonder who she is.
Vilja Lied is one to listen to for sure !
Not only because it shows Floors vocal Skils, but her amazing abillity to become one with the music.
@TheCharismaticVoice, for your convenience the link to Vilja Lied, performed by Floor Jansen at De Beste Zangers 2019.

Epica-sancta terra ft floor Jansen (retrospect version)
Trully...
Absolutely! here is the link: ruclips.net/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/видео.html
Yes this one
definitely. Epica have better composition than Nightwish, better guitars, full orchestra, more epic singing parts and stunning Epica's diamond Simone Simons. Sancta Terra is amazing song, with Floor as this gig guest, it's really EPIC.
do it now! :)
Honestly I would recommend to react to Epica (anything from live at Zenith in Paris) without Floor first. Give Simone Simmons some appreciation first ;)
PLEASE MORE FLOOR JANSEN AND NIGHTWISH!! 😀😀 🤘
For more operatic try "Vilja Lied" from Beste zangers , Storytime and Song of myself from Nightwish @ Wacken2013, Shoemaker from the new album Human:||:Nature IS A MUST!!! CAN'T WAIT! YOU'RE AWESOME 😃
Floor this and Floor that
Nightwish had 2 other vocalists you know 🙄
@@vahvasydan3656 next time , first Floor 😉
@@vahvasydan3656 Was it 2013 when Tarja Turunen and Floor Jansen was same time at the stage. Love to see that again
Floor enjoys performing so much she smiles almost every moment she's performing!
It's like when an actor is just having a blast with a scene - it's just so emotionally resonant.
Henk Poort is a beast for sure. I heard that he was a reasonable boxer in his youth.
I've noticed both Floor Jansen and Anneke van Giersbergen do the whole genuine smiling while singing, you're exactly right. The sheer passion for the art really shows through!
"Sounds like he has done more opera."
Well... it IS Henk Poort of course ;) one of the best trained opera voices of the Netherlands (and far out too).
He's a trained opera singer, long before he was the Phantom in the musical. (One of the best Phantoms there were, to be honest.)
If you dont know much about the show the most impressive thing is that Henk has never in his life added distortion to his voice before this show, he did the sound of silence for Floor and did it the disturbed way with distortion and talked about how hard it was for him to learn to do but he pretty much mastered it.
Probably inspired to do so by Marko's performance
Many vocal coaches have already reacted to performances at Beste Zangers. However, many don't know the concept of the television program. Beste Zangers (Best Singers) started in 2009. The group of 7 guest singers are invited far away from their families and isolated on Ibiza to judge each other performances.. The main guest, member of the group of singers and which changes every week sits next to the host and doesn't perform, but just listens and sees his/her song to be sang. The initial idea behind this is that the singer has organized a concert but unfortunately turned ill (imaginary) and has to look for a substitute to keep the show on going. Beste Zangers allows the main guest to have some clue how this may turn out to be. At the end of the show, he judges the best performance and therefore has found a good substitute. During the seasons more varieties in genres has been added. So every week the performers in the show face a bigger challenge to be versatile in their singing. One of the guests was opera singer Maria FIsilier during the 11th season in 2018 who was praised by the viewers to be the most versatile. Meanwhile the idea of finding a substitute has basically been dropped now.
In anticipation of a new season, guests are asked to join and if so, to send a list of songs they sing or have a special meaning. Singers receive these lists and do their homework in preparation for the show by making a selection and practice in their studio's. Some dig in the history of the main guest and find emotional or special and personal meanings for a certain song of their memory or idol. The selected song has to be kept secret from all other guests.
The last show of the season is dedicated to sing duets. As guests start to know each other better in their isolation on the island, they forge new friendships and want to perform together, which results in last-minute preparations in deep secrecy from other guests and the host.
The side effects of the guests' out-of-comfort performing are that the guests go home inspired and spread abilities in the art of singing.
So I recommend to watch all other shows and other seasons and be stunned over and over again.
Cheers!
Thanks for all the info, that sounds like an awesome show. I'll need to see if I can find a way to watch it.
@@Bobbias there here 5 seasons www.dailymotion.com/dm_4316daadae0efbfef6fdc95af3ef532a/videos?sort=visited
The competition aspect is now almost gone.
It's all about appreciating each other and sometimes to try to make the others cry from hearing their own song song in a different way by a different voice. It's a beautiful thing really.
I wonder if any station would do this in the US.
Seems all shows these days needs ppl to be voted out.
And hopefully by some sneaky behind the back shenanigans....
And we wonder why our kids are bullying each other.
here you can find all of them

@@Paul-H Thanks for sharing this link. I've been looking everywhere to find a place to watch these episodes.. Thanks again.. Cheers.
Hey! You mentioned wanting to here Floor do more opera stuff. There's clips of her performing Puccini's O Mio Babbino Caro as well as her performing Vilja Lied on this show.
Was about to say this...
O Mio Babbino is amazing. (ruclips.net/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/видео.html)
This is EXACTLY what I was going to suggest. Definitely one to be heard!
I absolutely adore Henks Phantom. It feels both evil and tortured. Like wallowing in his own disgrace with power to spare.
Try "Shoemaker" off Nightwish's new album. "Warning" the ending is epic. Tears me up every time.
Elizabeth you can hear Floor do Puccini: "O mio bambino caro" here ruclips.net/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/видео.html
I was ready to send this link - I was to slow ;) - she can sing opera, but I'm not an expert.
*Babbino
@@yogajedi3337 Do you go out of your way to find videos of Floor singing, just to be a terribly miserable person? This is the second one I've seen you comment on, and I've only watched 3. There's a bridge you've left unattended, troll. Shoo.
She can do it all
@@yogajedi3337 that perfomance was over 10 years ago and there is a big difference between her skills then and now. She did only one year because she discovered it was not fer her. She does this more for fun. That being said, she has sold millions of albums. How many have you sold?
You should react to Shoemaker ! It’s an amazing song with a splendide opera part
Like opera, Epica with Floor Jansen singing sancta terra 😉 that a freaking fast reaction
Their duet of Stabat Mater is even more impressive and Opera
@@arkiuskindfire yes, that would be an even better fit
Elizabeth's reactions are so instantaneously and impulsively in the moment and sincere. She is so expressive of her emotions and happy. I always watch her analyses twice: the performers and also her reactions. She makes me happy too. I love Floor and Henk and Elizabeth too. And her dissections of the performances greatly enhance my enjoyment of them.
Something really cool about this performance is that Henk was the dutch phantom for many years and andrew lloyd webber said he was his favorite to play the part. Floor got into singing seriously after seeing phantom as a teenager with her folks. So getting to sing this with Henk was a dream of hers. Gives me goose bumps knowing that. Your videos are great. :)
If you cover Floor as much as Dimash, it still won’t be enough...More!!! This will be a great one!
Randy Blankenship;Dimash is the best all over the World
@@mariapilargalar917 Not against Floor.
@@ChrisPage68 how many songs have you seen from Dimash?
Dimash might have the widest vocal range I've ever heard, but I still prefer Floor overall as a singer and performer.
Anyway it doesn't matter. It isn't a competition, and whoever we prefer will always be subjective.
@@ChrisPage68 that's true. Floor can also sing in English, German, Spanish, etc. In that TV show, she sang in many different languages.
Henk Poort is a Opera singer, he played the phantom in The Netherlands.
Henk Poort Is the favourite Phantom of Andrew Lloyd Webber
I think, correct me if I'm wrong, he was actually the FIRST one (in the Netherlands obviously)
And he is very good.
Henk Poort was the first Phantom of the opera in the 90's, his back up was Ben Cramer.
The Phantom of the opera is the first musical i ever have been, for me Henk Poort is always THE phantom.
@@devet0614 he is, justifiably, indeed :)
8 sec in D6...omg...she is a Goddess!! Floor has been a huge fan of Henk Poort since her childhood. This performance was a dream come true and you can see that in the way the interact. Pure love and respect for one another.
6:55 after that floorgasm You need a cigarrete
The last time I went to see Nightwish live they were playing this song, and........ Henk Poort suddenly walked onto the stage to sing the duet with Floor !! 🤩🖤🖤🖤
He was even wearing a sort-of metal shirt and did a little rock pose and all ^^ it was great!
Note that this show isn't a contest, so has so much more fun in it. It even encourages people to leave their comfortzone and try new stuff. Each day (a weekly episode) one doesn't sing and the others sing something that person likes, has something emotional with (so could be one of their songs but not always). At the end they concluded with lots of duets.
Henk, the original Dutch Phantom (for 10 years!) has never sung it like this. His Sound of silence is great too. Floor definitely kills it every time, even if she sings Dutch, German or Spanish. Her solo of Shallow is amazing, she does it again as a duet. 😍
Just WOWWWWWWW❣
❣🥰❣🥰❣
I love that it's not a competition. Wish there was a show like it in the US.
Can we get some appreciation for Hank Poort and his rock opera sound that demanded those high notes.
The arrangement they did is the Nightwish arrangement from when they covered this song (originally with their first vocalist Tarja Turunen as Christine and their bassist/vocalist Marco Hietala as Erik). You are correct in that it is in a different key than the original version.
It's extremely rare that a song, no.. a performance like this makes me want to improve my audio system. I feel like i need to plug this pure art directly to my brain and feel it at the same time directly. It is almost like this level of performance even though the limitations of my audio is giving me a new layer of profound understanding of what it means to exist
might be cheaper to use high quality headphones - I'm enjoying it with Sony WH-1000XM4 ;-) (y)
I absolutely love how Henk gets into the growl and then commanding his voice is. The second to last "Sing for me" where he gets into that deep deep growl is just , mmm.
Henk had power and command the whole time, but on the last two "Sing for me" he dug in a little deeper.
Please react to EVERY floor episode from this series/season. Or if not, at least watch them yourself - truly amazing.
Also Elizabeth - you should read about the format of this show and who the other people are/how the songs are selected. It will help you appreciate even more.
Some other things of note: Henk was the phantom for a long time in the Dutch production of the show, and Floor was kind of a fangirl of his performances in the title role of the musical in the 90s. Nightwish also do a version of this song (basically as it was done here). Henk agreed to to the duet with Floor on the show with the condition that when Nightwish played in the Netherlands, they would perform this song with him.
Floor Jansen - The Swiss Army Knife of Music....
Dutch Army Knife :) - the Swiss Army Knife probably sings in Eluveitie
Is it me, or does Floor sound always like «Nothing special here. I'm just warming up my voice»
I agree, Please listen to Joke de Kruijff , the original Christine in the Dutch version of the musical. That is so much better, especially the last note.
all hail the man that Melted the goddess Floor herself.
She saw him as the phantom of the opera as a child and he has been her hero ever since. Doing this was an absolute dream come true for her
8sec....Queen to D6. Check...Mate....❤
Cant wait to see Your reaction Elizabeth! Our Valkyrie Queen will "Blow the socks out, from Your feet! 😁 Henk is Flawless too. Be Safe E. Love Your Channel! ❤
You want to hear her opera voice listen to the end of Nightwish-Shoemaker
Charles Hall Yes, I'm also interresting of that, and also PAN from the same album.
check out Henk Poort singing The Sound of SIlence, it's unreal
Yes, this!
👌👍
Check out Shallow from Floor in Beste Zangres, please? You are pronaunging her name the wrong way. Thank you from this great reaction
@@Spugedelia77 Also her version of The Vilja Lied from the same series. She performs it as opener of the first show. Floor and here capabilities are mostly unknown to both here colleagues on the couch as well as to most of the Dutch public at the start of the show, allthough being the most famous worldwide
`No better rendition of The Sound of Silence exists even including the original...Disturbed can't be touched ruclips.net/video/Bk7RVw3I8eg/видео.html
It’s like watching a chef dissect a perfect dish. Her delight is ...such a delicious treat
Elizabeth reacts Floor with quite a knowledge, she knows her craft, but she does it with childlike innocence, here, the charismatic voice, is all yours, my lady.
Please react to ALL of Beste Zangers with Floor Jansen. Villa leid is her introduction song to the show and first time they heard her sing.
Floor's duet with Simone Simons on the Epica song "Sancta Terra" is another great one.
yes that's a great song. Kingdom of heaven by Epica aswell.
Stabat mater dolorosa better
Also, After Forever's Beyond Me during their final tour. Elizabeth would have a blast with that, given the fact that it has two excellent female singers and Mark's beyond killer screams and growls.
If you like to hear a very vulnerable side of her, make sure to hear: "Floor Jansen - Shallow" also from Beste Zangers. I'll fetch some tissues for that meanwhile.
Ken Tamplin said in his reaction that is better than original...and i trust him
@@palmanbracht9125 It is, for sure
try this then :
Floor Jansen sings Vilja Lied for Henk Poort, Beste Zangers 2019
Whenever someone says "Oh I've been to an opera, Phantom of the Opera", I like to say "yeah, and I've seen a horror movie, Rocky HORROR Picture Show. That's how that works right?" Lol!
Gotta wait till June 4th!! What if the world ends before then? have you been watching the news? lol
That's just because the USA is trying three apocalypses at once, the rest of the world keeps it at one or two ;)
Henk was Webber's all time favorite Phantom. Floor has been a fan of his since childhood. He added distortion for her, because she invited him to come sing this with Nightwish.
I think Tuomas is warming up on the requisite instrument for that performance:

please please please please do Shoemaker by Nightwish next!!!! it's one of the newer ones, from their latest album, but OMG you need to hear that!!
DEMYSTIFYING SINGING (my intensive 7-week course) is now open for registration! Class sizes are small to guarantee personal attention. Go to thecharismaticvoice.com to reserve your seat.
I would love to see your reaction to „The Outlaw Torn“ by Metallica with the Symphony of San Francisco: ruclips.net/video/jSedXGIH6CM/видео.html
Tonight a new season of this amazing program starts, i'm expecting a few hidden gems soon. Can't wait, exited.
You should watch Floor from the same show do "Vilja Lied" for Henk...a song his mother used to sing to him when he was a child....it's her first performance on the show and most of the other performers didn't know who she was...the looks on their faces as they first experience floorgasm is great! (the same look you had the first time you reviewed Nightwish, lol).

You should give Dianne van Giersbergen from Ex Libris a chance to listen to her voice. She is also a dutch singer (soprano). There is an official video from the latest album "Ann - A Progressive Metal Trilogy" called Chapter 2 - Anastasia Romanova - The Motherland (ruclips.net/video/LdusaTnXDuI/видео.html) ... but Chapter 3 - Anne Frank - The Raid, unfortunately there is only a lyric video hanging around on youtube, is soooo good. Whole Chapter 3 is great. Give it a try.
I wish you would react to the Phantom of The Opera with Tarja and Marko - Nightwish
Both this and their performances are amazing
This, it'd be real interesting to hear her compare Tarja to Floor on a song both has performed live with Nightwish though, so I'd like to see The Charismatic Voice's take on Tarja doing Ghost Love Score.
Elizabeth notes the contrast between their voices. If she wants contrast then she really needs to listen to the Nightwish Phantom of the Opera performance. THAT's contrast.
And Marko's performance alone is something else. He nails it!!
The both of them together is something from another world!
Exactly what i whould like!
Floor is great and fits awesomelly with Nightwish!!
Phantom Of The Opera BELONGS to Tarja!(live at Tampere,end of an era)
Listen to her sing O Mio Babbino Caro. Also, listen to Nightwish with Tarja , singing the Phantom of the opera. That to me is the best version.
Yes, she also sings Puccini.
Floor does have some opera on YT. And her versatility is her calling card. It REALLY shows when she sings with another singer. She will change the way she sings, her accent, everything to fit the other singer. Which is amazing. Also, that was the first time Henk used growl in a musical/opera setting. In fact, he learned to growl the week before. The two of them were incredible on that show.
Love her versatility!!!
@@TheCharismaticVoice And this versatility is very clear shown in ReVamp's 2nd album, her band before Nightwish. All the songs of Revamp are written by Floor Jansen herself.
A bit of opera of Floor, may be posted before, I don't know. ruclips.net/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/видео.html.
And can we get some love for the house band for being able to play the Nightwish arrangement without a miss?
@Nicolas Broszky I don't think She really knew he was going to do it right then and there, but he decided on that to give Floor a little surprise right there; and you can see in her reaction she was definitely very pleasantly surprised....There has been for a long time a mutual respect and admiration between those two..And I'm glad they did this.. 🙂
They didn't just sing this amazingly, but they performed the hell out of it!
I am not a big opera fan at all, but I have heard this song in almost every language i could imagine.
This is the best one. Henk is the best Phantom I've EVER heard and Floor is a goddess
The phantom of the opera is not an opera, but a musical.
Hiya. I cry every time I watch this and I watch it often. Why make us wait so long? Have you got a career or something??? Lol. Stay safe. All the best to you.
She can also growl btw. :D She does it on 'Yours is an empty hope'.
Revamp - wildcard
Revamp - disdain
That's growling....
Yes, try "yours is an empty hope" live at Wimbley, just to have an idea how much versatile is her voice
I have heard/seen this probably over a 1000 times - no not exaggerating! Can not wait to see your reaction to it. You will love it.
Henk gives me goosebumps every time. Proud to be from the same country as he is, we don't have a lot of (opera) singers like him here.
You might like Henk's duet with Emma of "Vivo per lei" from the same show...
Great presentation... Floor is amazing as always... Didn't like the wait... Prefer not to know and see when is really available...
She sings songs in 4 different languages on Beste Zangers. The lady's insanely talented!!!
Yeah and she translated one to English as well
You should check all performance of this reality, the one with Henk and Emma (vivo per lei) it's one of my favorites.. You are amazing and you're doing a great job!!
This is the Nightwish version of this song. Henk's use of distortion here was a fun callback to his version of The Sound of Silence that he sang for Floor in her episode. This was also a dream come true for her to sing this with Henk
Its a mix of the original and the Nightwish version.
I'm not a big musical fan, but I love Phantom of the Opera. And geez, I've seen that performance with Floor and Henk before, but it still gives me a chills.
She is an amazing woman and singer; I am sure you were blown away. Anxious waiting for your reaction. Love you.
btw you might consider doing another reaction to Ghost Love Score the Wacken 2013 Live so much better than the Buenos Aires
Yes agree. Floor does the song in her own way by Wacken.
Henk IS the phantom. Performed in Holland for years. Also on a side note i heard Henk agreed to do this song with her on the show if she would call him the next time Nightwish performed in Holland and let him perform it with her and the band on stage. Needless to say she happily agreed.
Everytime i watch the duet between Floor and Henk i love to see the chemistry they have. I love seeing Floor playing out the song. I love the look in her eyes when she looks at Henk. i love how Henk did the growl/rough voice whatever and Floor seemed surprised to hear that and totally loved that. Its great that Henk did that i think. The "there" how she says it at 1:25 i totally love. This duet brings joy, appreciation, respect, teary eyes, tons of goosebumps and love for these 2 great singers. Awesome!!
ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE DUETS I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE! Hank is INCREDIBLE, Floor is UNBELIEVABLE! OMG!!!
Yes! Floor can sing opera as well. She is so incredible.
Yeah, she totally can! @The Charismatic Voice, react to O Mio Bambino Caro by Floor!
The thing I love most about your channel is that you don't even have to speak or analyse. Your expressions speak volumes in and by themselves. So great, you rock.
ok now you have to react to the Nightwish version of this song, with Tarja, their first singer, there you will be able to appreciate her pure operatic style and also the singing capabilities of their bassist Marko...... you won't regret it !!
Floor is a literal Goddess, best female vocalist on the planet
And the other singers are amazing as well, I listened to some of there singing too, especially the lady on the right, bare shouldered - and the bearded young man.
Plus Henk Poort sings also a breathtaking Sound of Silence, the version of Disturbed. His anger, concern and worry that version conveys are convincing, and he has the strength to wake the respect in the listeners to listen to the message. He hits it home.
Others have allready mentioned it bute here is a link to when she does "Vilja lied" ruclips.net/video/k4Bp7exJufs/видео.html
I can't wait for so long 😯
A little bit of background on this. First Nightwish vocalist, Tarja Turunen was a clasically trained lyrical soprano and she sang Phantom of the Opera with them (with Marco, the bassist forming the second part of the duet) both on a album and during live shows. The song was retired from Nightwish live repertoire after they parted ways with Tarja. After BesteZangers performance, there was talking about reintroducing it to their newest concert tour with Floor (which of course had to be postponed because of pandemic) and maybe even featuring Henk during their Netherlands show.
Fun fact: in 2022 Henk joined Floor and Nightwish on stage to perform this. She made a promise to him and was able to fulfill it
The performance of "The Phantom Of The Opera" by Floor Jansen and Henk Poort in "De beste zangers" is one of my favorite moments in musical history. It still peeves me that they did not win that season *evil grin*. They are all good singers, but Floor Jansen and Henk Poort are in an entirely different league compared to the rest of them.
The fact that she was on the show was a win in itself for melodic metal.
Oh, this won't do, now you were supposed to react to her heavy clean vocals (she can growl, too) in Romanticide ruclips.net/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/видео.html or The Devil and Deep Dark Ocean ruclips.net/video/zlCoXH-CJyU/видео.html
Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean is also a good song for showcasing the ability Floor has developed to instantly flip between different vocal timbres word to word and beat to beat. She changes vocal timbres like 6 times in her first verse in that performance.
Oh I am so glad you've chosen this one to follow Ghost Love Score!
When Im feeling bad, whatever the reason, I just came here with you because im enjoying the song but most for your reactions, love you Elizabeth.
So, that's what happened with Gene Hackman, he stopped acting and started singing!
Fun fact: Henk Poort played the Phantom in the Dutch production of the Phantom of the Opera.
BUT ALSO: He voiced Gaston in the Dutch dub of Beauty and the Beast. Joke de Kruijf (who played Christine in the Dutch Phantom of the Opera) voiced Belle. So the Dutch recording of this song is basically a duet between Belle and Gaston...
