It's worth knowing that only one of the other artists really know what Floor does with Nightwish before that song. All the other singers expected your average female rock singer.
Henk Poort is 65 years old. He is an opera and musical singer. He especially did this song for Floor. He did learn to sing with distortion for this show. Floor is a big fan of Henk. Thank you for this reaction.
Wonderfull Version. Henk (65yo) is extra class and Floor's great role model. He sang this song for Floor. This song is a constant build up and in the end Henk's Rock growling voice is real good for an opera singer. And the rock grasp sound isn't natural to him. He did that for Floor. You two are very personable. More of that! Floor Jansen in this show is singing: I don't know a thing about love Que Se Siente Winner Vilja Lied (German Opera for Henk) Shallow (Lady Gaga Cover) Mama Floor can sing in 8 languages. In this show in 5 different.
Beste Zangers is originally a Dutch TV show and the format has been broadcast over the years under various names in a number of European countries and also outside Europe. It is not a competition. The singers just have fun. - This show with Floor Jansen and 6 other Dutch singers representing different genres ( rock, pop, opera, etc.) was filmed in Ibiza Spain in 2019. The recordings were made outside in the yard under canvases. Each day one of the singers sat on the middle couch with the host (the guy with the white jacket) and talked about his/her life and career and the other singers sang songs from that person's repertoire or songs that have been important to that person. This was Floor's day and Henk and the others sang to her. The last day was a duet day and all the singers chose a partner with whom they performed a song that is important to themselves. Please react at some point to all the songs Floor sang to the other singers on this show.
Henk was about 62 years old during the Beste Zangers program so he's about 65 now. He is both a classical Opera singer as well as a Musical Theater Singer. During this program he even did a Country Music song and played a little guitar. This is a great TV show and it's a shame that we don't have anything like it in the States. Tom you're doing good here and I love it when you have wifey on as well. Keep up the good work.
To go against 40 years of training and everything you know. Just to try to impress someone you just meet. I love his face at the end. Looking at Floor "hope that didn't suck". If you watch the whole episode. You see him completely uncomfortable/nervous all night.
Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/YvqyKUvbWF8/видео.html It is the complete episode with Floor in the central spot and her colleagues singing songs to her. Don't forget to put the captions on, because Denise did translate it from Dutch to English and did a great job (thank you Denise) and it is also a great opportunity to get to know more of Floor and the other singers. And it explains why they sing a certain song for her. It is surely worth a watch. Enjoy. (Other American watchers/reactors loved the concept of the show and complained that US-TV only broadcast pre-engineered crap that is manufactured for the masses and the big money.) Most of them got addicted, LOL.
@@mariogansbeke I agree. And I love that this show is just to entertain. Singers sing for singers, having some drinks and working together. All musicians from the season with Floor did a great job with their perfromances.
@@mariogansbeke I am SHOCKED and AMAZED that this video still exists! I thought that Avrotros forced YT to completely remove Denise's videos! I mean it RUINED her channel! They really shafted her after she did them a HUGE favor on her own time!
@@jamescurfman3284 I hope they don’t pull this video down from YT. Denise helped by putting captions on the episodes so much much more people could enjoy the show. I don’t understand why AvroTros is that protecting/stubborn about the copyright of their programs. It helps the popularity of the program and the participating singers/vocalists. Davina Michelle, Floor Jansen, Andre Hazes Jr., Glennis Grace and several others were put on the map or relaunched their career thanks to ‘Beste Zangers’, same here in Belgium with some singers who performed in ‘Liefde voor Muziek’ (Love for Music, same as Beste Zangers). If you see what effect the program has on the YT reactors and YT watchers, it is immense. Maybe it’s the lack of profits of advertising or maybe they want to sell the concept of the show to other countries, which they did in Europe in about 10 or 12 other countries. But they can generate profits through YT also, and they can use the popularity of the show on YT to sell the rights to other countries. Or they don’t have the rights of the show and they are just ‘leasing’ the idea and they are bound to another company who has the rights. I don’t know what is going on the head of the marketeers of AvroTros. Fact is that artists/bands can benefit of their popularity on YT if they don’t be an ass about the copyrights. The best examples: Jinjer, Nightwish, Devin Townsend, Arjen Anthony Lucassen with Ayreon and his other side projects, Morissette Amon,….. And that list is absolutely not complete.
He did 6 songs in this show, each for one of the other singers who participated. This one was for Floor, for Ruben Annink he sang "Your Man", for Rolf Sanchez "Noelia", for Tim Akkermann "Vincent", for Emma Heesters "Despacito" and for Samantha Steenwijk "Wees zuinig op m'n meissie".
Beste Zangers has no US comparison, unfortunately. They gather a group of the best singers in the country, each of different genres. They honor a different singer each week, and the other singers have a week to prepare a song in their honor and perform it for them. The show isn't a competition show, although the singer being honored picks their favorite performance during their week. In episode 1, only one of the other singers knew Floor, so the first time she sang it blew everyone's mind. This episode was to honor Floor.
Remember that Floor has been a fan of Henk since she was a child and that he sang this song for her. If u watch the whole series u would see how she was like a fangirl almost especially from the beginning.
I've seen Floor and Henk together in a tour through The Netherlands last year Februari and loved it ,y ou could see very good chemistry between them. They even had the Marcel Fisser band from the beste zangers with them. It was a great experiance . btw like the presantation keep up the good work Ben !!! and greetings from The netherlands.
Hey Tom, i told you: .Sarah is mrs. Always Right! She as a singer knows what's coming.. Although, Sarah, Henk learned to growl/grunt in the healthy way, with the false vocal chords. That's the way Floor is doing it. She talks about it in her video classes here on YT. Look it up, you'll be surprised! Nice reaction btw! Love you guys! greetz from the Netherlands 🤘🇳🇱🤘
He is singing to Floor because she is sitting next to the host of the show in the center of the couch. It's not a competition but pros singing to each other.
Yeah, and I do appreciate his voice, but he hasn't trained for this. There are many children that are better than him at distortion (honestly, he's pretty bad at it), but all his other skills make up for it to make it a great performance. Specifically on fry though? Not a single good vocal coach would say that Henk does fry super well (even though he's an amazing singer otherwise.)
@@neonman855 I'm pretty sure he'd say himself he doesn't do it well. He only did it for this show, for Floor. He had very little practice at it and he said himself if you tried doing this in the Classical/Opera circles you'd be instantly kicked out the door. Give the man the credit for going outside his comfort zone and doing something different. It's what this show is all about.
This whole season of the Beste zangers was epic. You should also watch Henk his duet with Emma Heesters. Rolf Sanchez with a latino style of Hotel California, Tim Ackerman singing the Nightwish song Nemo in a rock style. And many more. Your wife may love Les Miserables, if so then put on Tim Ackerman withe the song Breng hem thuis (Bring him home)
If you liked Floor reaction to this song, please listen to Emma Heesters - Strong, same episode of this show. The song was written by Floor for her mom who had health issues, and she get really emotional every time she sing it, or in this case she listen to it, prepare the tissues. Also Emma and Henk duet "Vivo per lei" is amazing.
Henk sang this song specifically for Floor. The way the show goes, each of the singers present have a list of their favorite songs, and each of the other singers pick one from that list and sing it to them. Henk picked Sound Of Silence off Floor's list.
henk poort is floors idol and a singer she has allways looked up to her entire life and for her this program was the greatest... also she was know all over the world and is a top singer for years but in the netherlands where she comes from hardly anyone outside of the metal scene knew about her until the "beste zangers"series... now she finaly also gets the recognition over here in the netherlands and people know what a wonderfull singer she is... greets from the netherlands :)
Henke is Floors idol , they've toured together in 2019 with the Band that played at Beste Zangers ....theres a great video of them doing a Revamp song " Sweet Curse "
Goosebumps all over again. Henk has over 40 years of experience in opera and musical (f.e. The Phantom and Les Misérable), but he was nervous towards this moment because he has to sing with distortion. Go figure 😅 Watch Vivo Per Lei - Henk Poort and Emma Heesters. By the way… I like these duo reactions with your lovely wife (despite the Pepsi-shirt 😉) and you. Groetjes from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
A little bit of the back story of this show. Each week someone has "their night" and the rest of the singers on the couches sing songs that are meaningful for that person. It rotates each week. The 2019 Season (this one) had some amazing songs, and our girl Floor stole the show. Floor is from the Netherlands, and this is a Dutch TV show, but she wasn't all that well known in the Netherlands. This show changed that. In a big way. All of the singers had some excellent songs. This could be a new rabbit hole too. haha. Enjoy. ;-)
This is an amazing series of wonderful performaces by great singers. You can watch the episodes in order with full subtitles and you will see Floor blow their minds in the first episode where she sings Vilja Lied for henk. Watch the faces of them all and you will be astonished at the quality of every performer every week. A real treat but omg watch FLoor seduce a whole nation as the dutch realise what a talent they have in a dutch metal singer lol.
Henk told that he was pretty nervous for the first time in many years. Floor had made a huge impression on him - and all the others. Henk is now a Floor fan like a few others...... and they are actually great friends today. Many of us hope that Floor will do some duets with Henk on her solo stuff - they proved on the extra shows that they are phenomenal together on Floor's old metal songs. And Henk wants to perform any kind of good music (especially with Floor 😉). This version is at least equal if not better than the Disturbed version - personally I prefer Henk's more rich, warm and mature voice - and he has power!! Maybe you should try the first song in the season - Floor singing Vilja Lied for Henk - Floor wad almost totally unknown for all the others - and Henk had been going around teasing all the others on how he was looking forward to see them doing opera All the others faces are priceless and Henk became quiet - and touched (his mother sang Vilja Lied to Henk when he was a child as a lollaby)
I would suggest you to watch Floor’s MasterClass videos. I promise, you’ll learn to use your “you didn’t knew you had” mussels. Henk (Hendrikus) Poort is a Dutch opera and musical singer as well as an actor. Born: January 20, 1956 (age 65). Hé is a baritone. He has followed a classical singing education at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam. He won the Cristina Deutekom Competition during his singing training. Poort sang at various European opera houses, such as in Ulm and Krefeld. He has made guest appearances for, for example, De Nederlandse Opera, the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, the Hessische Staatstheater in Wiesbaden, the Nationale Reisopera, the VARA (Opera matinee in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw).
Henk is the dutch Erik having performed phantom hundreds of times /Les miserables too. Floor watched him with Joke(as Christine)when she was little and is a real Fangirl .
Henk Poort is a man whit a phenomenal voice and it so great to see he also gets the respect he deserves on the athore side of the ocean hahaa usa usa . greets Jacco from Holland
You’re wife is right about the shoulders and breath technic. The most important tip from Floor to Henk to make a distortion sound was to push less and not more.
Think you should watch this whole show ,Floor is the guest and all the others take turns to sing songs that mean something to her. Each of them here will be a guest for the others to sing so they really got to know each other like friends and believe it or not floor was almost unknown in Holland .
Ow Henk, you wonderful wonderful man. They all called him Uncle Henk on the show, cause he was the oldest. Such a nice guy. He likes to joke a lot. It kinda looked like Floor and Henk developed some sort of father daughter bond during that season. Floor had been a Henk Poort fan since she was a little girl and saw The Phantom of the Opera. But that look Henk gives her at the end of this song. Awww.
Oh, you did it straight afterwards! Hank the Dutch Phantom is a cool "Uncle", check out "Floor finds: Henk Poort" Opera, Opretta, Musicals... and now Metal. He has since sung with Floor on stage... Take care you two.
My suggestion is for you to watch the full beste zangers episodes with subtitles as they aired in Dutch Each episode has a main guest with the other participants singing one of their songs or one inspired by them , worthwhile hearing the background reason for choices
Henk Poort was 63 years old when this was recorded. This was the first time he used distortion in his singing. Henk was Floor's teenage hero. You could see the fangirl in her watching Henk. She saw him as a teenager perform the Dutch Phantom. Henk dicovered Floor as he was prepairing for the this programseries and he was impressed by Floor and by Nightwish. To honor Floor and Nightwish he studied on distortion. It took him 2 hours with his vocalcoach to learn it. This song was the first song he practiced it in public. The Phantom with Floor was the second time and to Floor's suprise.
Henk Poort (65) is Floor's Idol, ever since she was a little girl and Henk was playing the Phantom of the opera, she was mad about him, and was even fangirling over the fact that Henk would be in the same season of the show as she was. Henk did many nice covers like Noelia ruclips.net/video/yxz27MeixgU/видео.html , Your man ruclips.net/video/wLjqFFUJeSI/видео.html and a Duet with The Blond girl Emma Heesters called Vivo per Lei ruclips.net/video/OumZnDaQINo/видео.html he was also known as one of the 3 bariton's and from the Dutch version of Les Mis as Jean Valjean
If you like this song...please listen to Pentatonix singin it...a capella !!! Ik you like that... listen to them sing " Halleluja " with your wife! :-)
Hi Tom and Sarah, it's such fun to watch your reaction, when you were not sure of what was yet to come and I was (!) 😊 This was Henk's special contribution for Floor (he was 63 at the time). My suggestion is that you also check on Floor's special song for Henk. She sang the "Vilja-lied" in German (pronounce 'leed', which means 'song'). Her version is a spectacular mix between opera and metal. You will love it, like everybody does. With that song, she started off the new season of "Beste Zangers" in 2019. At that time, she still wasn't very well known in her own country (The Netherlands), but with her performances for Henk and all the others, she made a huge impression and now she is Holland's biggest vocal star !
Absolutely, man. Goes to show just how much talent and hard work it takes to put that rock distortion in your voice. Some people think it's just screaming, but they couldn't be more wrong.
Considering that this is maybe the 2nd or 3rd language that these performers learned, their mastery of the emotion and force behind their covers is masterful.
Fun fact about Floor and Henk: Henk is the reason Floor is singing today. She saw him in a musical when she was around 7 or 8 and he became her inspiration to take on singing as a career. In this program (Beste Zangers, or 'Best Singers') a group of Dutch singers pay tribute to each other by performing each others songs (or songs from their genre), where every episode is dedicated to one of the contestants. This video is from a part of episode 4, which is dedicated to Floor. Another fun fact: the only reason why Floor joined Beste Zangers this season is because Henk was joining too, and with him being her hero, she had to join too.
Your video's are like sitting on your couch with chips and beer... very down to earth, and I love it! Please consider listening to Henk Poort and Emma Heesters - Vivo per lei from The same show Beste Zangers 2019
Have you noticed that every time you pause the video and start talking, your wife starts yawning? I'm not saying there's a connection to the two things, but ... ;) Love seeing you two react together. And since you keep talking about opera, you (both) now simply must react to Floor Jansen singing "O Mio Babbino Caro"!
Yawning, they found out is to cool off your brain. So your wife is actually very much engaged to the conversation, because by cooling her brains, she is able to concentrate better :)
Henk Poort is of course a professional opera singer. David Draiman also had classical training, as a cantor. Not exactly the same, but a lot of similarity in the techniques.
You know what Henk said several times during BZ'19? "Good music is good music..." and he didn't listen to rock/metal, but there are good pieces ewerywhere, just waiting to be foud... and some people wouldnt listen to opera, but there are nice things too...
Great reaction. You will love Henk Poort with Emma Heesters (the blond little girl) doing Vivo Per Lei BTW please do yourself and us a favor and react to all Floor's song in this show.
Henk is idolized by Floor, did you expect anything less? This style of singing goes against all of his vocal training and yet he pulls it off flawlessly. I have always said that Henk should be a member of Nightwish, or at least do some walk-on parts. Awesome reaction! You're getting really good at this 🤗
The intensity Henk brings to everything I've seen of him reminds me of Howard Jones. I've seen in comments that Howard is also a trained opera singer. Both of them seem to have this huge lake of power that shows when singing. If you want to check out Howard, I suggest SION - The Blade or Killswitch Engaged - The Signal Fire
Henk was singing this for Floor! The episode this is taken from was all songs being sung for Floor. I would recommend watching her complete episode as there are some great songs on it from the other singers. Emma sings one of Floors songs "Strong" for her and Rolf does Hotel California and they have an absolute blast. It also gives you some of the backstory as to why each song was chosen. this version has the best subtitles if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/YvqyKUvbWF8/видео.html
Hello Mrs Sarah TuffNuts!!! Welcome to the Nightwish Family!!! I love her! I need Sarah to see ROMANTICIDE!!! I want to see what she does with Floor’s version of Adagio as well!!! ❤️
You need to watch an awful lot of this beste zangers series. Floor's performances of course are outstanding - I hope you cover all of them - with Sarah of course - or there'll be trouble 😀 😉
Aw yes villa lied , again it’s mind blowing. Sara you should bring the husband on the show more often so he can learn that music isn’t always about the obvious show but so much about the story behind it 🤣🤣🤣 Love you guys, keep it going 👍

Henke Poort is like a legend in the Netherlands. Don't think just Opera .. he is famous for musical theater .. he IS the Dutch Phantom after all
And now you two must listen to Vilja Lied that Floor sang to Henk. The first song she sang on this show and blew everyone away.
It's worth knowing that only one of the other artists really know what Floor does with Nightwish before that song. All the other singers expected your average female rock singer.

Floor Jansen in this show is singing:
I don't know a thing about love
Que Se Siente
Winner
Vilja Lied (German Opera for Henk)
Shallow (Lady Gaga Cover)
Mama
Floor can sing in 8 languages. In this show in 5 different.
And how happy she is looking, that he did the "Disturbed" Version.
You should both react to Henk Poort and Emma Heesters doing ‘Vivo per Lei’ from Beste Zangers, it’s gorgeous!
It's a real gem!

from the same show 'beste zangers', check out Henk Poort's duet with Emma Heesters 'Vivo Per Lei'. I guarantee you will be blown away, again.
Watch Strong by Emma Heesters, a song Floor wrote, same episode. It was beautiful
Goosebumps all over again.
Henk has over 40 years of experience in opera and musical (f.e. The Phantom and Les Misérable), but he was nervous towards this moment because he has to sing with distortion. Go figure 😅
Watch Vivo Per Lei - Henk Poort and Emma Heesters.
By the way… I like these duo reactions with your lovely wife (despite the Pepsi-shirt 😉) and you. Groetjes from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
He can reach the tenor range with ease--he had to in order to play the Phantom of the Opera. So he, as a baritone can get quite high!
Love it when the wife is on Tom. She's really chill and I love the hubby/wife banter...lol
A little bit of the back story of this show. Each week someone has "their night" and the rest of the singers on the couches sing songs that are meaningful for that person. It rotates each week.

Next reaction: Maria Fiselier - Lose Yourself. It's a Dutch opera singer doing Eminem.
Everyone thinks right, and then there is a voice, your own kind of voice in your head, man i wish the soulvoice in my head was this voice of Henk.
This is an amazing series of wonderful performaces by great singers.
You can watch the episodes in order with full subtitles and you will see Floor blow their minds in the first episode where she sings Vilja Lied for henk.
Watch the faces of them all and you will be astonished at the quality of every performer every week.
A real treat but omg watch FLoor seduce a whole nation as the dutch realise what a talent they have in a dutch metal singer lol.
Henk told that he was pretty nervous for the first time in many years. Floor had made a huge impression on him - and all the others.
Henk is now a Floor fan like a few others...... and they are actually great friends today. Many of us hope that Floor will do some duets with Henk on her solo stuff - they proved on the extra shows that they are phenomenal together on Floor's old metal songs. And Henk wants to perform any kind of good music (especially with Floor 😉).
This version is at least equal if not better than the Disturbed version - personally I prefer Henk's more rich, warm and mature voice - and he has power!!
Maybe you should try the first song in the season - Floor singing Vilja Lied for Henk - Floor wad almost totally unknown for all the others - and Henk had been going around teasing all the others on how he was looking forward to see them doing opera
All the others faces are priceless and Henk became quiet - and touched (his mother sang Vilja Lied to Henk when he was a child as a lollaby)
A tip. Floor Jansen sing Puccini O mio bambbino caro. Amazing.
Floor is beautiful because she is beautiful inside and she just is. The world needs more Floor.
Listen to more Henk Poort on this show. He is a Musical singer...

I would suggest you to watch Floor’s MasterClass videos. I promise, you’ll learn to use your “you didn’t knew you had” mussels.
Henk (Hendrikus) Poort is a Dutch opera and musical singer as well as an actor. Born: January 20, 1956 (age 65).
Hé is a baritone. He has followed a classical singing education at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam. He won the Cristina Deutekom Competition during his singing training. Poort sang at various European opera houses, such as in Ulm and Krefeld. He has made guest appearances for, for example, De Nederlandse Opera, the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, the Hessische Staatstheater in Wiesbaden, the Nationale Reisopera, the VARA (Opera matinee in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw).
Henk is the dutch Erik having performed phantom hundreds of times /Les miserables too.
Floor watched him with Joke(as Christine)when she was little and is a real Fangirl .
Henk Poort is a man whit a phenomenal voice and it so great to see he also gets the respect he deserves on the athore side of the ocean hahaa usa usa . greets Jacco from Holland
Henk Poort and Emma Heesters duet same show awesome!!
You’re wife is right about the shoulders and breath technic. The most important tip from Floor to Henk to make a distortion sound was to push less and not more.
Think you should watch this whole show ,Floor is the guest and all the others take turns to sing songs that mean something to her.
Each of them here will be a guest for the others to sing so they really got to know each other like friends and believe it or not floor was almost unknown in Holland .
Henk Poort is 64 years old and amazing,and he learded the growl in 2 hours.,he is not only singing Opera,also Musicals and other music
Ow Henk, you wonderful wonderful man. They all called him Uncle Henk on the show, cause he was the oldest. Such a nice guy. He likes to joke a lot. It kinda looked like Floor and Henk developed some sort of father daughter bond during that season. Floor had been a Henk Poort fan since she was a little girl and saw The Phantom of the Opera. But that look Henk gives her at the end of this song. Awww.
Henk Poort, it was not his intention to imitate David Draimen, but as admiration for Floor.
Oh, you did it straight afterwards!
Hank the Dutch Phantom is a cool "Uncle",
check out "Floor finds: Henk Poort"
Opera, Opretta, Musicals... and now Metal.
He has since sung with Floor on stage...
Take care you two.
He did it for Floor, very unusual for an opera singer is growling...
And he do this all sitting down. 😊
Henk Poort is a great singer. He can sing many styles and he can fix your biljarttable also.
My suggestion is for you to watch the full beste zangers episodes with subtitles as they aired in Dutch
Each episode has a main guest with the other participants singing one of their songs or one inspired by them , worthwhile hearing the background reason for choices
Doing this sitting down is absolutely out of this world 😍
Henk Poort was 63 years old when this was recorded. This was the first time he used distortion in his singing. Henk was Floor's teenage hero. You could see the fangirl in her watching Henk. She saw him as a teenager perform the Dutch Phantom. Henk dicovered Floor as he was prepairing for the this programseries and he was impressed by Floor and by Nightwish. To honor Floor and Nightwish he studied on distortion. It took him 2 hours with his vocalcoach to learn it. This song was the first song he practiced it in public. The Phantom with Floor was the second time and to Floor's suprise.
He was singing that to Floor because it was one of her favorites growing up
Henk Poort (65) is Floor's Idol, ever since she was a little girl and Henk was playing the Phantom of the opera, she was mad about him, and was even fangirling over the fact that Henk would be in the same season of the show as she was. Henk did many nice covers like Noelia ruclips.net/video/yxz27MeixgU/видео.html , Your man ruclips.net/video/wLjqFFUJeSI/видео.html and a Duet with The Blond girl Emma Heesters called Vivo per Lei ruclips.net/video/OumZnDaQINo/видео.html he was also known as one of the 3 bariton's and from the Dutch version of Les Mis as Jean Valjean
I love this version of the Sound of Silence. I really think that you should watch more from this series.
If you like this song...please listen to Pentatonix singin it...a capella !!! Ik you like that... listen to them sing " Halleluja " with your wife! :-)
Haha really enjoyed this reaction! Henk is the best.
Hi Tom and Sarah, it's such fun to watch your reaction, when you were not sure of what was yet to come and I was (!) 😊 This was Henk's special contribution for Floor (he was 63 at the time). My suggestion is that you also check on Floor's special song for Henk. She sang the "Vilja-lied" in German (pronounce 'leed', which means 'song'). Her version is a spectacular mix between opera and metal. You will love it, like everybody does.
With that song, she started off the new season of "Beste Zangers" in 2019. At that time, she still wasn't very well known in her own country (The Netherlands), but with her performances for Henk and all the others, she made a huge impression and now she is Holland's biggest vocal star !
Absolutely, man. Goes to show just how much talent and hard work it takes to put that rock distortion in your voice. Some people think it's just screaming, but they couldn't be more wrong.
always enjoy your reactions !...greets from the Netherlands
His baritone gives me life
I love how he went for the disturbed version rather than using the S&G version
there is a song in this show called Noelia. he shows a bit more of his amazing skills in that song.
Considering that this is maybe the 2nd or 3rd language that these performers learned, their mastery of the emotion and force behind their covers is masterful.
Fun fact about Floor and Henk: Henk is the reason Floor is singing today. She saw him in a musical when she was around 7 or 8 and he became her inspiration to take on singing as a career.
In this program (Beste Zangers, or 'Best Singers') a group of Dutch singers pay tribute to each other by performing each others songs (or songs from their genre), where every episode is dedicated to one of the contestants. This video is from a part of episode 4, which is dedicated to Floor.
Another fun fact: the only reason why Floor joined Beste Zangers this season is because Henk was joining too, and with him being her hero, she had to join too.
Your video's are like sitting on your couch with chips and beer... very down to earth, and I love it!
Please consider listening to Henk Poort and Emma Heesters - Vivo per lei from The same show Beste Zangers 2019
Henk released this cover in 2019 while Disturbed's cover was released in 2015.
Henk was also in Fiddler on the Roof across Europe
He was magnificent, he did this for Floor.
Vivo per Lei with Henk Poort and Emma Heesters. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
we may be a small country, but we have great artists.
Have you noticed that every time you pause the video and start talking, your wife starts yawning? I'm not saying there's a connection to the two things, but ... ;)
Love seeing you two react together. And since you keep talking about opera, you (both) now simply must react to Floor Jansen singing "O Mio Babbino Caro"!
Hahaha, i was waiting for this comment. She said its cause it was past midnight, but what is the real truth Sarah?
Yawning, they found out is to cool off your brain. So your wife is actually very much engaged to the conversation, because by cooling her brains, she is able to concentrate better :)
I saw the complete opposite, a guy who thinks he is funny, and a girl trying her hardest.
I knew you would jump straight into this one! LOL
Viva per lei, emma heesters and Henk poort. Brilliant
Great reaction please react more Emma heesters same show beste zangers 2019 with Henk poort
Henk Poort is from 1956 but sounds still as a young baritone.
Watch Henk with Nightwish, he appeared on stage with them a few times after this show.
Henk Poort is of course a professional opera singer. David Draiman also had classical training, as a cantor. Not exactly the same, but a lot of similarity in the techniques.
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 I absolutely LOVE Henks version!! 😁❤✌
He sang while sitting on a stool. Wow
Well done, your double reactions are so much fun to watch, keep the missus around for these, greetings from holland :)
63 there I think, older now of course. He said he practices every day. He is a Baritone rthat got casted as a Tenor often.
Next,"vivo per lei" by henk and emma heesters from the same show,its part italian and english,you'll love it!!
You know what Henk said several times during BZ'19? "Good music is good music..." and he didn't listen to rock/metal, but there are good pieces ewerywhere, just waiting to be foud... and some people wouldnt listen to opera, but there are nice things too...
Tim Akkerman's version of Nemo is a great song that you'll enjoy from this show 👍
And..Henk was only sitting even during that whole performance!! Did you have seen that?
You and Sarah together works better for me! You share great music with the wifey!!🤩
listen with the lady to Floor's "O mio bambino caro" full opera. Tom you will love it.
Great reaction.
You will love Henk Poort with Emma Heesters (the blond little girl) doing Vivo Per Lei
BTW please do yourself and us a favor and react to all Floor's song in this show.
Hands down Henk, hands down.
Henk is idolized by Floor, did you expect anything less? This style of singing goes against all of his vocal training and yet he pulls it off flawlessly. I have always said that Henk should be a member of Nightwish, or at least do some walk-on parts. Awesome reaction! You're getting really good at this 🤗
And THAT - me hearties - is what a classically trained bariton sounds like.
Henk sang this song for Floor because it is dear to her. The Goddess is a metal head through and through, so he sang this song with distortion. 🤩😎😁
The intensity Henk brings to everything I've seen of him reminds me of Howard Jones. I've seen in comments that Howard is also a trained opera singer. Both of them seem to have this huge lake of power that shows when singing.
If you want to check out Howard, I suggest SION - The Blade or Killswitch Engaged - The Signal Fire
Henk was singing this for Floor! The episode this is taken from was all songs being sung for Floor. I would recommend watching her complete episode as there are some great songs on it from the other singers. Emma sings one of Floors songs "Strong" for her and Rolf does Hotel California and they have an absolute blast. It also gives you some of the backstory as to why each song was chosen. this version has the best subtitles if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/YvqyKUvbWF8/видео.html
08:17 This guy looks like Marv (Daniel Stern) from the movie Home Alone.
He is very good. Love his voice, he is about 62 or so
I love if you reacting to the entire show. By the moment next one Tim and his Nightwish cover.
Hello Mrs Sarah TuffNuts!!! Welcome to the Nightwish Family!!! I love her! I need Sarah to see ROMANTICIDE!!! I want to see what she does with Floor’s version of Adagio as well!!! ❤️
Yeah she hasnt fully been sucked into nightwish like me...yet
You need to watch an awful lot of this beste zangers series. Floor's performances of course are outstanding - I hope you cover all of them - with Sarah of course - or there'll be trouble 😀 😉
He’s apparently Andrew Lloyd Webber’s favourite phantom
Aw yes villa lied , again it’s mind blowing. Sara you should bring the husband on the show more often so he can learn that music isn’t always about the obvious show but so much about the story behind it 🤣🤣🤣
Love you guys, keep it going 👍
