This show is so much better then any singing show we have here in the States the atmosphere of all these singers together is awesome ther is no competition just passion
I absolutely agree with that! There's no need for all the damned drama, it gets in the way of the music over here! This is so pure because there is no real competition. It's more like each of the artists sort of do critiques for each other, with the full intention of only bringing positivity to the table. I LOVE that setup! :)
Emma and Henk did a amazing "Vivo per lei".. She was the biggest surprise of the show to me. Yes, RUclipsr (2 Million followers) but now more famous in the Netherlands and on TV much more.
Yeah. It's like, we all EXPECTED great things from Floor, since she set the bar so damned high when she opened the show with Vilja Lied (or before that for those of us who knew about her already). Everybody also knew about Henk Poort, of The Three Baritones. So Vivo Per Lei in particular became sort of a Break-Out performance for Emma (at least from my perspective). Right? Make sense to anybody else? :)
@@jamescurfman3284 yes indeed, she started off with a somewhat awkward performance in the first episode. Not sure what happened, but clearly something went wrong seeing the reactions of the rest and hearing the audio. But what a precious, dedicated singer and pure artist with a heart.
HD Ha ha! She's so cute. For male human candy, google Lauri Kerminen. He's a Finnish professional volleyball player. His teammates in our National Team calls him that. I got it from there. ☺
Dutch Emma Heesters gets major American record deal August 2, 2017 She is one of the greatest Dutch artists on RUclips: Emma Heesters. She has nearly 390,000 subscribers and her videos have already seen 33.8 million views. Emma sings covers on RUclips, which are songs by other artists. She often does this alone, but she also regularly sings with other artists known on RUclips. One of her most successful collaborations is with Jason Chen. That's an American singer who has 1.5 million subscribers. Their video, in which they sing Luis Fonsi's Despacito together, has been viewed more than ten million times on Facebook and RUclips.
If Floor makes me cry, Emma makes me ugly cry, her voice sounds sweeter, more fragile, plus seeing my baby girl (Floor) trying to hold the tears is hard
Songs of heart go into the heart. This was such a human, humane, real-life song and such an excellent cover ... and it was sang so beautifully and with so much soul, no wonder it touched us all. It is the mastery of the song's words and melody and the reality it describes, as well as the heart put into the cover, that make it so, and Emma's fantastic skill and tone (great deconstruction of the song, Christi, thank you). I love everything about this performance, and I don't think anyone with a heart, anyone capable of love, can be unmoved by it. And ... especially in these times, may we stay strong. Together. Keep well, all. Waving at you all from New York.
Thanks for this great reaction. You taught me a little bit about blues notes, and made me realize that there's even more to Emmas performance than I thought there was. You're the best!
Emma's beautiful and touching rendition of Floor's hommage to her mother who suffers from painful rheumatism and to date still does. Emma didn't need much motivation to cover this song since she also honored her own mom for surviving cancer. To topple all of that once more your beautiful reaction, Christi! It's like taling a warm bath: you don't want the reaction to stop like you don't want the bath water to get cold. And then of course you always know to treat us with those little to the detail analyses. All of that in your warm, emphatic and emotion way. You are a beautiful person!
Love that you explore more of Beste Zangers 2019. Emma has something to show there, Tim and all the others too. Your reaction is gentle, humble and that rounds up what one‘s hearing in a good way. I appreciate your work and your thoughts, thank you and please go further, greetings from Germany. Thorsten
Emma is most well known for her "Shallow" cover. Behind the scenes Floor has encouraged Emma to start writing her own material. New Floor acoustic duet with Troy of "Nemo" is quite a contrast to the NW metal version (Planet Rock Session)
I'm not usually a fan of Emma's style of singing, but even I can appreciate her talent. She really shines in 'Vivo Per Lei' with Henk Poort. I think you will love that duet.
Well Christie, i guess you now understand why we've been requesting you to check out Emma hehehe ;) She's as captivating as Floor is, in a different way, her own way. And then the obligated remark... "this means you have to check out her other songs too" because well... you should hehehe. I highly recommend the duet she did with Uncle Henk, "Vivo per lei" but also her other songs, not only is she charming, she is really talented at what she does and how she does her thing. Thnx for the upload Christie :D
You can see Emma grow throughout these shows with her performances. Really she was an amateur with 5 other pros she had never truly performed live for an audience and what an audience she had and she lapped it all up. Millions of fans on youtube and now thousands more through this show!
Emma was of the three most Dutch hadn't heard of (Floor and Rolf the other two) because she was a youtuber who did covers in English. Kudos to whoever at Avrotros thought to invite her onto the show (she did have 2 million subs before the show). I had seen her, and Samantha on RUclips before. Samantha I saw in a couple of Voice audition compilations, and knew what her voice was like, but I hadn't listened to Emma. I just saw recommendations for her a few times. They were likely of songs I had no interest in, so how good she was was a pleasant surprise. iirc Emma has a recording deal, and has spent a lot of time in the US as well. One of her stories was being on the same flight as Rolf once as both returned to Holland from Miami. She said her mom's fight with cancer made her really identify with the song. Floor came really close to losing it completely there. On a side note, Floor is currently secluded at home in the guest house, as she is fighting a virus (She's not sure if it is Wuhan virus or the season's Flu. If you don't have all the symptoms of either only a test will tell) and is staying away from her Hubby and daughter "The Smurf" in hopes neither of them gets it. Get Well Soon, Floor!
i so emotional when listen this song and start to tear up when see Floor crying...a great song, made by a great song writter, telling about great story, and singing by good singer.
It's even more impressive when you learn that Emma was struggling with her own emotions during the song, with he mom's being a cancer survivor. Increadible performance.
This song shows that Floor is a brilliant songwriter. Her catalog needs exploration by others who can put their own powerful voices into it. Emma is absolutely unintimidated. She's an angel and a beast, reminds me of Sharon den Adel who also would fit into this show very easily.
Absolutely! Henk chose Emma as his duet partner for the final episode. They do a fantastic job on this Bocelli classic. The link is: ruclips.net/video/OumZnDaQINo/видео.html I joined Emma's two million RUclips subscribers even before I heard this, and haven't been disappointed.
You don't need vocal gymnastics of the kind that Aguilera or Carey are famous for. The emotion's already in the lyrics. Emma holds back like Floor did with Shallow. I think she'll go far if she just keeps doing what she's doing.
Ruining good songs with emotionally pointless runs and riffs is a USA thing. Not one song too over written with that embellished nonsense in it ever makes the hit charts in Canada or UK. And I'm sure not Holland. Mariah Carey has ruined every single song she ever wrote with those narcisstic pointless runs in every phrase. Beyonce, Celine or Ariana is far more disciplined about it. And as a result you can name far more of their works than Mariah's.
As others have said, if you want to see Henk squeeze every ounce of talent out of Emma check out Vivo Per Lei. It means 'I live for her', her being the music.
The first sound brought a tear knowing Floor would shed some tears. beautiful song . the Beste of Zangers over the years has nice surprises. if you find time Christi take a stroll through past years Recommend Maria Fiselier singing Il Mondo . i found Glenis Grace from 2011 Zangers. Glad you like Emma.. Stay safe and fabulous
Emma is amazing. Btw her name is pronounced as Haysters. In general we pronounce the ‘e’ the way you pronounce an ‘a’. She really surprised me, I am impressed by her vocal talent. She sang Vivo Per Lei with Henk Poort, please react to that one if you haven’t already, it’s amazing.
Proud to have so many incredible dutch singers in our small country! Two more suggestions :mater dolorosa by Floor& Simone (who are really good friends) And vivo per lei by Emma& Henk I would love to see you react to that!!! Lots of love from the Netherlands and stay safe 💚💚💚💚
This song.....such a great song, both versions are great. This is a very personal song to me, if, like me you watched a parent going through the last stages of their life. I can't watch this song performed without tears, it's too close to the bone. Love your reactions and breakdowns, thank you very much.
FINALY!! Yes i was waithing for this reaction thank you soooo much i knew you would like it ❤ and yes Emma and Henk singing Vivo Per Lei is also great!!! Keep it up 💋
Emma truly is amazing... i went to her RUclips page and she does some really amazing covers ...what a rush it must have been to perform one of Floors songs in front of her and to move Floor the way it did ...what an Epic moment ..
Nice to finally see such a technically accurate analysis among so many "fake" reaction videos! These series of "Beste Zangers" was one of the best, you should definitely review every performance! ;-)
The strongest (no puns intended) tribute that was created in this show. Now people that know me a little allready might say im biased,since this is Floors own song,and the fact that it brought Floor to tears. There might be some slight truth to this,but i did not know anything about Emma before this. I actually remember i saw her young,gorgeous "dollface" and thought she seemed abit "misplaced" at first. I guess i had my doubts,after hearing numberous "young blondes" sing. So i didnt expect too much,and i didnt watch the episodes fully even,i only watched Floors performances at first. So i hadnt even heard Emma from the first episodes,i had no clue on what to expect. But when i saw the title,that she had choosen STRONG,thats when i started thinking..... "WOW,this young lady got GUTS!". I knew how much this song still means to Floor till this very day,and even her family/her mother loves it alot. Floor has allways battled herself when performing this song. So i might have gotten into a tiny bit of a "pre-judging state" towards Emma. You start to think "if she messes this up on TV,in front of Floor........",that is gonna hang over her for the longest of time. But i swear,from Emmas first notes....i was hypnotized,she just pulled me right in,and i became weak within seconds. Only Floor until that point has been able to have that amount of power over me,and young Angelina Jordan. Noone else comes remotely close. So i was quick on my feet to announce that i will buy Emmas debut album as soon as it releases,after that performance! I know there has been some really strong covers done on this show,and if i were 100% biased i would say every strong cover belonged to Floor. But Emmas song of choice was outstanding,and how she then backs it up by performing it just as beautiful,if not better then Floor does it,thats beyond what words can describe! And Floor tearing up over someone else singing is a first in public,wich tells you the strength of the performance. I know some people have questioned Emmas "perfect sound" on this show,no matter how energetic on stage she was,or just focused and standing still,she sounded "flawless". The answer is quite simple,one of her strengths is to allways know how far or close she should be holding her microphone,at all times. Something she has trained to perfection by doing all thoose covers she does on RUclips. As well as the obvious,she stays in shape,she got wonderful breath control,so i havent heard her sound "out of breath" yet on energetic live performances. Emma is just crazy talented! She sings just as amazing as she looks,and that speaks volume too. And what amazes me most is diving into her life stories,why she choosed Strong and such,and the fact that this show was her first ever big production to be a part of. And she really felt "out of her comfort zone" by joining the show,so knowing that and the fact that she allways looked like such a natural on stage,and sounded like she had been doing this for decades,just proves how much talent lays within this gorgeous young lady. You know you are good,when people question if you used playback or singback during a TV show!😍Floor also choosed one of Emmas favourite songs,when the tables were turned,so theese 2 found eachother quickly on the show. (Floor sang "Shallow" for Emma,and you can see how Emma is just glowing,nonstop smiling...and i think she even finishes with a "Woooooow",from the couch,wich was charming as anything)
Again a true Voice Love reaction. Not all of the performances were emotional. Try, Emma Heesters & Rolf Sanchez - Pa Olvidarte | Beste Zangers 2019. Enjoy the playful chemistry between Emma and Rolf.
Yes, Emma is a RUclipsr. When this show was airing, she had the biggest Musical RUclips channel in the Netherlands, which is what got her on the show. I HOPE her channel is still the biggest, she totally deserves the distinction! Her channel is AMAZING, full of covers. I don't think she has any originals on it YET, but I know that everybody WANTS her to do some original pieces. I think she got signed recently (I could be wrong, but I heard that she had, anyway...). Obviously, we only want the best for her. :)
Great reaction christie this is a great song and emma does a great job. Please can u react to the duet she does on beste zangers with henk poort, they cover the amazing song vivo per lei by andrea bocelli. They do the most amazing performance u will love it
If you wanna know about this show, you should look at the: Jenniezelf version, because the have the whole show with eng. subs. Then you know what the show is about and why they sing the songs they sing. Have fun!
there was only 1 song this season where no one kept dry. try NOELIA sung by HENK POORT. it was sung for ROLF SANCHEZ. the grandmother of rolf always sung it. he had special connection with her. after she died he had not heard that song anymore , was too hard for him to handle. so it realy was emotional rollercoaster for him. also try SOLO OTRA VEZ done by ROLF. it a spanish version of ALL BY MYSELF. floor said about that that it is a song where you know in the beginning that a special note will come , and yes , rolf nailed it.
Some here think this concept may not work in the USA, because it's not showy or plastic. But I'm sure plenty would love it, and that plenty more will realise that _this_ is what they needed. Back in the day MTV's Unplugged was considered very risky and it turned out to be MASSIVE, changing the music scene.
Make sure to watch this one, to not only see Floor but really the premise and impact the show has 'Floor Jansen sings Winner for Tim Akkerman Beste Zangers 2019 Eng. Subs' . The be amazed as she sings in a language she doesn't know 'Qué Se Siente'.
I have a small proposition. Let's mix it up a bit. Can you react to Dir En Grey - Vinushka live at NIPPON BUDOKAN (eng subs are included aswell)? It's so emotional and raw i think you'll love it as you did Tool. . Kyo's vocal range is out of this world. Thanks and cheers!
Emma heesters henk poort - vivo per lei is great to and rolf sanchez - solo otra vez singing a cover of celine dion in spanish most people missed that one
Great reaction and analysis video again! Emma is very good. I think she is a big fan of Christina Aguilera? You really need to check out her duet with Henk "Vivo Per Lei". It is wonderful and dramatic. I can't wait to see what you think about this one. Stay safe and be well! Right now Floor Jansen is quarantined in her out cabin at her home in Sweden fighting off a fever since last week. She has sent a message to her fans via facebook that she is strong and will be OK. Please let us all pray for her speedy recovery and send her all of the healing vibes we can spare in her time of need.
I would love to see your reaction and breakdown to Henk Poort singing "Your Man" to Ruben or singing "Noelia" to Rolf. They're both great but VERY different songs. I agree with your words about this show; it's sweet and endearing and special. I get a feeling of warmth from watching videos from the show.
On the show before Emma sings this song they talk about who and why Floor wrote it. A lot of the singers commented about how they couldn't look at the people they were singing to because they would lose it. One of my favorites of Emma is and Rolf Sanchez singing - Pa Olvidarte Their stage chemistry is great. ruclips.net/video/zUhVk-D_wK0/видео.html
We're blessed with You-tubers like Emma. Beste Zangers 2019 got the most viewers ever. Like more of the replyers suggested, please check out Emma and Henk with Vivo per Lei (ruclips.net/video/OumZnDaQINo/видео.html). Another suggestion: Beste Zangers 2018 with the opera singer Maria Fiselier with Eminem's rap "Lose Yourself" (ruclips.net/video/8YyuIkVSx-8/видео.html). Best wishes and stay safe all the way from the Netherlands !!
Love your reactions! I know Emma has a large following on her RUclips-channel. She does a special ‘thing’, where she translates popular songs (from Indonesia, the Filippines and other non-English countries.... I don’t know exactly which ones 😊) and she turns them into English covers. I would definitely recomment ‘Hanya Rindu’, it’s a beautiful romantic song. And very beautifully sung by Emma! ♥️ Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/yDxgofP_ULY/видео.html It already has 10 million views! 🙏 O, and this is the original video (which has 104 million views!!): ruclips.net/video/CJC5PY5erzI/видео.html
Emna said to Floor she admired her for being a stromg powerwoman, and Floor got a little shy 😎🐱👤🌹 Henk Poort & Emma Heesters - Vivo Per Lei | Beste Zangers 2019: ruclips.net/video/OumZnDaQINo/видео.html 💕💕💕 By the wat Flooe wrote the song: Music and Lyrics 👌
Yes, I prefer Emma on this onto floor as well. I feel the connection easier, and the key and the tone she uses suit the song and bring out the warm feelings in me better. No one is taking away from Floor's talent , but she's not Number one in everything to me. And that's OK.
I think it is possible to be too close to the material. Floor just can't control her voice singing this song it is too much for her. Emma has a little more distance from the material. I do also prefer Emmas tone. The whole arrangement of this song is beautiful and obviously Floor thought so as she has since started singing this version. Kudos to the band and Emma :)
Yes, it is a beautiful message, but you got it slightly wrong. Don't shoot me. In the full episode you see Floor and Emma talking about why Emma choose the song she did for Floor. The song was written by Floor about watching her mother struggle with illness and trying to put on a brave face. Emma's Mother also was ill and it bonded them together with her rendition of the song.
Hi Christie, love the reaction (like always). I really like this song. It's really personal for Floor and she rarely performs it, so when I saw the live video from her solo tour, it was like a Christmas morning lol. I'd really like for you to check out a performance of this song, but in 2007 (with her previous band After Forever). I think it would be interesting to see how much has Floor and her voice changed through the years, also the arrangement of the song is a bit different. ruclips.net/video/rGCoiSWZjM4/видео.html

I have watched the episode with Emma as the featured artist ( Beste Zangers 2019) , It is almost in her genes in singing - Father I think has something to with music , and mother involved in a amateur music theatre group.
I recommend listening to the gift that Rosalía gave us at the 2019 Goya Awards "Me quedo contigo" and also the song "El perdón" by Diana Navarro. A big hug from Spain
Another suggestion: Nightwish's Floor Jansen and Troy Donockley play an acoustic version of Nemo. (Planet Rock acoustic session) - ruclips.net/video/FC7HYfc5y0A/видео.html And …….. Also don't forget that their new album is coming out in 2 weeks!
This is a link to all Beste Zangers episodes. I'm not sure it's viewable from outside The Netherlands. No subtitles.. www.uitzendinggemist.net/index.php?page=zoeken&q=beste%20zangers
I'm really impressed with your professional reaction. Could you please react to Hua Chenyu's "Child" and "Nunchucks"? He used so many different tones and genres in this song. His voice control is always amazing, I really think you would like these songs. Please check them out and looking forward to your reaction .Thank you.❤️
"Nunchucks" is a song about young men of streets, they are fascinated by martial arts. During the filming of TV program "Singer" in 2018, "Hua Chenyu" has spent 48 hours to make an adaptation of the song . He put in multi musical elements like vocal, rap, chinese tradional opera & rock. His stage performance was awesome & also amazing. You would never regret.
love both songs so much!amazing performance!He always surprise people,when he sang Chinese Opera in"Nunchucks"!Emotional voice in"Child",listen in heaven!
I like these two songs.Hua Chenyu's songs fascinate me. By its "Nunchucks"is really wonderful rock. "Child",Hua Chenyu's voice is like a voice from heaven. Love it so much.
This show is so much better then any singing show we have here in the States the atmosphere of all these singers together is awesome ther is no competition just passion
I absolutely agree with that! There's no need for all the damned drama, it gets in the way of the music over here! This is so pure because there is no real competition. It's more like each of the artists sort of do critiques for each other, with the full intention of only bringing positivity to the table. I LOVE that setup! :)
I've seen this a hundred times and still tear up when Floor does.
I regularly lookup this song just to get the good feeling when Floor reacts to it.
In my opinion, it's the best version of the song ever.
Same here.
Emma and Henk did a amazing "Vivo per lei"..
She was the biggest surprise of the show to me.
Yes, RUclipsr (2 Million followers) but now more famous in the Netherlands and on TV much more.
Yeah. It's like, we all EXPECTED great things from Floor, since she set the bar so damned high when she opened the show with Vilja Lied (or before that for those of us who knew about her already).

@@jamescurfman3284 yes indeed, she started off with a somewhat awkward performance in the first episode. Not sure what happened, but clearly something went wrong seeing the reactions of the rest and hearing the audio. But what a precious, dedicated singer and pure artist with a heart.
It's like a little princess singing to her mighty Queen. Emma did it surprisingly well. Great analysis. Thank you and take care!
HD Emma is also like a human candy (nothing inapproriate here). 😻🙈🍬
HD Ha ha! She's so cute. For male human candy, google Lauri Kerminen. He's a Finnish professional volleyball player. His teammates in our National Team calls him that. I got it from there. ☺

Thanks for this great reaction. You taught me a little bit about blues notes, and made me realize that there's even more to Emmas performance than I thought there was. You're the best!

Every song Emma did on Beste Zangers is a job well done and worth reviewing 👍
She became a star as a result and well deserved.
Emma is most well known for her "Shallow" cover. Behind the scenes Floor has encouraged Emma to start writing her own material. New Floor acoustic duet with Troy of "Nemo" is quite a contrast to the NW metal version (Planet Rock Session)

That's what is most impressive. She is up there with performers used to captivating huge arenas. But she sings like she never left her bedroom studio.
try also Henk Poort & Emma Heesters - Vivo Per Lei | Beste Zangers 2019
I second that. They are amazing
Altough the best bit is Rolf's face throughout the song
I agree.
Totally awesome
It’s an amazing performance well worth reacting to.
💚YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!💚

Oh, MAN! I HOPE she doesn't have it!!! Man! Prayers!
i so emotional when listen this song and start to tear up when see Floor crying...a great song, made by a great song writter, telling about great story, and singing by good singer.
What I love about you is that you never take too long to get to our requests. Ha ha.
The sheer amount of sarcasm, love it :D
It's even more impressive when you learn that Emma was struggling with her own emotions during the song, with he mom's being a cancer survivor. Increadible performance.
This song shows that Floor is a brilliant songwriter. Her catalog needs exploration by others who can put their own powerful voices into it.
Emma is absolutely unintimidated. She's an angel and a beast, reminds me of Sharon den Adel who also would fit into this show very easily.
You should also watch Emma Heesters with Hank Poort - Vivo per lei from Beste Zangers.
Absolutely! Henk chose Emma as his duet partner for the final episode. They do a fantastic job on this Bocelli classic. The link is:
ruclips.net/video/OumZnDaQINo/видео.html
I joined Emma's two million RUclips subscribers even before I heard this, and haven't been disappointed.
Oh yes. This song 💯
Yes Yes Yes!!!
+1 to that. I really love that one 😍
Yes...Plessers 💕
You don't need vocal gymnastics of the kind that Aguilera or Carey are famous for. The emotion's already in the lyrics. Emma holds back like Floor did with Shallow. I think she'll go far if she just keeps doing what she's doing.

Mariah Carey has ruined every single song she ever wrote with those narcisstic pointless runs in every phrase. Beyonce, Celine or Ariana is far more disciplined about it. And as a result you can name far more of their works than Mariah's.
True....in these trying times, we should stay STRONG together......
We WERE here and STRON in this times..
As others have said, if you want to see Henk squeeze every ounce of talent out of Emma check out Vivo Per Lei. It means 'I live for her', her being the music.
The first sound brought a tear knowing Floor would shed some tears. beautiful song . the Beste of Zangers over the years has nice surprises. if you find time Christi take a stroll through past years Recommend Maria Fiselier singing Il Mondo . i found Glenis Grace from 2011 Zangers.

Everyone else is saying it so I will too. Vivo Per Lei by Emma and Henk please. So good. Great reaction to this one!
I really love how your reaction is pure and genuine. Keep it real and you've got a fan in me.
Proud to have so many incredible dutch singers in our small country!
Two more suggestions :mater dolorosa by Floor& Simone (who are really good friends)
And vivo per lei by Emma& Henk
I would love to see you react to that!!!
Lots of love from the Netherlands and stay safe 💚💚💚💚
Lovely reaction (as usual!)
Vivo per Lei next please! Duet with Henk! And stunning!
Love your reaction to all of those Beste Zangers video's. You really need to do Vivo per lei, as you've now been exposed to Emma.
I second this. Great recommendation. For a good idea to see what see does to covers I would suggest

My/our Floortje crying is like the beautiful heavens just letting out one tiny little bit of magical salty water...
This song.....such a great song, both versions are great. This is a very personal song to me, if, like me you watched a parent going through the last stages of their life. I can't watch this song performed without tears, it's too close to the bone.
Love your reactions and breakdowns, thank you very much.
FINALY!! Yes i was waithing for this reaction thank you soooo much i knew you would like it ❤ and yes Emma and Henk singing Vivo Per Lei is also great!!! Keep it up 💋
I know you love this show and I really would love to see you react to Tim singing Dear Mr. President!!
love emma, and floor, and your interactions.
Emma truly is amazing... i went to her RUclips page and she does some really amazing covers ...what a rush it must have been to perform one of Floors songs in front of her and to move Floor the way it did ...what an Epic moment ..
She grew up in a very musical home, that's where the talent comes from.
Nice to finally see such a technically accurate analysis among so many "fake" reaction videos!
These series of "Beste Zangers" was one of the best, you should definitely review every performance! ;-)
The strongest (no puns intended) tribute that was created in this show. Now people that know me a little allready might say im biased,since this is Floors own song,and the fact that it brought Floor to tears. There might be some slight truth to this,but i did not know anything about Emma before this. I actually remember i saw her young,gorgeous "dollface" and thought she seemed abit "misplaced" at first. I guess i had my doubts,after hearing numberous "young blondes" sing. So i didnt expect too much,and i didnt watch the episodes fully even,i only watched Floors performances at first. So i hadnt even heard Emma from the first episodes,i had no clue on what to expect. But when i saw the title,that she had choosen STRONG,thats when i started thinking..... "WOW,this young lady got GUTS!". I knew how much this song still means to Floor till this very day,and even her family/her mother loves it alot. Floor has allways battled herself when performing this song. So i might have gotten into a tiny bit of a "pre-judging state" towards Emma. You start to think "if she messes this up on TV,in front of Floor........",that is gonna hang over her for the longest of time. But i swear,from Emmas first notes....i was hypnotized,she just pulled me right in,and i became weak within seconds. Only Floor until that point has been able to have that amount of power over me,and young Angelina Jordan. Noone else comes remotely close. So i was quick on my feet to announce that i will buy Emmas debut album as soon as it releases,after that performance! I know there has been some really strong covers done on this show,and if i were 100% biased i would say every strong cover belonged to Floor. But Emmas song of choice was outstanding,and how she then backs it up by performing it just as beautiful,if not better then Floor does it,thats beyond what words can describe! And Floor tearing up over someone else singing is a first in public,wich tells you the strength of the performance. I know some people have questioned Emmas "perfect sound" on this show,no matter how energetic on stage she was,or just focused and standing still,she sounded "flawless". The answer is quite simple,one of her strengths is to allways know how far or close she should be holding her microphone,at all times. Something she has trained to perfection by doing all thoose covers she does on RUclips. As well as the obvious,she stays in shape,she got wonderful breath control,so i havent heard her sound "out of breath" yet on energetic live performances. Emma is just crazy talented! She sings just as amazing as she looks,and that speaks volume too. And what amazes me most is diving into her life stories,why she choosed Strong and such,and the fact that this show was her first ever big production to be a part of. And she really felt "out of her comfort zone" by joining the show,so knowing that and the fact that she allways looked like such a natural on stage,and sounded like she had been doing this for decades,just proves how much talent lays within this gorgeous young lady. You know you are good,when people question if you used playback or singback during a TV show!😍Floor also choosed one of Emmas favourite songs,when the tables were turned,so theese 2 found eachother quickly on the show. (Floor sang "Shallow" for Emma,and you can see how Emma is just glowing,nonstop smiling...and i think she even finishes with a "Woooooow",from the couch,wich was charming as anything)
Again a true Voice Love reaction. Not all of the performances were emotional. Try, Emma Heesters & Rolf Sanchez - Pa Olvidarte | Beste Zangers 2019. Enjoy the playful chemistry between Emma and Rolf.
Yes, Emma is a RUclipsr. When this show was airing, she had the biggest Musical RUclips channel in the Netherlands, which is what got her on the show. I HOPE her channel is still the biggest, she totally deserves the distinction! Her channel is AMAZING, full of covers. I don't think she has any originals on it YET, but I know that everybody WANTS her to do some original pieces. I think she got signed recently (I could be wrong, but I heard that she had, anyway...). Obviously, we only want the best for her. :)
Great reaction christie this is a great song and emma does a great job. Please can u react to the duet she does on beste zangers with henk poort, they cover the amazing song vivo per lei by andrea bocelli. They do the most amazing performance u will love it
I clicked so fast on this video! Love it. 😊
Whaat, you really haven't heard Emma sing yet in this show 😯? Well you picked a great song from Floor to react to 😊
Beautiful voice ❤
the princess sing a song to the Queen..Emma do it so good..i hear she became a deal..yes ..thats very good..i look at her 🤗
If you wanna know about this show, you should look at the: Jenniezelf version, because the have the whole show with eng. subs. Then you know what the show is about and why they sing the songs they sing. Have fun!
Oh you should listen to her duet with Henk- Vivo per lei. Another great performance ❤️
there was only 1 song this season where no one kept dry. try NOELIA sung by HENK POORT. it was sung for ROLF SANCHEZ. the grandmother of rolf always sung it. he had special connection with her. after she died he had not heard that song anymore , was too hard for him to handle. so it realy was emotional rollercoaster for him. also try SOLO OTRA VEZ done by ROLF. it a spanish version of ALL BY MYSELF. floor said about that that it is a song where you know in the beginning that a special note will come , and yes , rolf nailed it.
Some here think this concept may not work in the USA, because it's not showy or plastic. But I'm sure plenty would love it, and that plenty more will realise that _this_ is what they needed. Back in the day MTV's Unplugged was considered very risky and it turned out to be MASSIVE, changing the music scene.
Dutch musicians are top notch, Dutch engineers are also excellent and last but not least the Dutch absolutely love music .. and no I am not Dutch.
Make sure to watch this one, to not only see Floor but really the premise and impact the show has 'Floor Jansen sings Winner for Tim Akkerman Beste Zangers 2019 Eng. Subs' . The be amazed as she sings in a language she doesn't know 'Qué Se Siente'.
I have a small proposition. Let's mix it up a bit. Can you react to Dir En Grey - Vinushka live at NIPPON BUDOKAN (eng subs are included aswell)? It's so emotional and raw i think you'll love it as you did Tool. . Kyo's vocal range is out of this world. Thanks and cheers!
I totally agree with you, also about that we do it all together to get that virus away. Thanks for this lovely video! ❤
Don't miss Floor on the german version of "Beste Zangers" ! " Sing meinen Song starts on April 26 th at 20:15 CET.
Emma heesters henk poort - vivo per lei is great to and rolf sanchez - solo otra vez singing a cover of celine dion in spanish most people missed that one
Great reaction and analysis video again! Emma is very good. I think she is a big fan of Christina Aguilera? You really need to check out her duet with Henk "Vivo Per Lei". It is wonderful and dramatic. I can't wait to see what you think about this one. Stay safe and be well! Right now Floor Jansen is quarantined in her out cabin at her home in Sweden fighting off a fever since last week. She has sent a message to her fans via facebook that she is strong and will be OK. Please let us all pray for her speedy recovery and send her all of the healing vibes we can spare in her time of need.
I would love to see your reaction and breakdown to Henk Poort singing "Your Man" to Ruben or singing "Noelia" to Rolf. They're both great but VERY different songs. I agree with your words about this show; it's sweet and endearing and special. I get a feeling of warmth from watching videos from the show.
On the show before Emma sings this song they talk about who and why Floor wrote it.
A lot of the singers commented about how they couldn't look at the people they were singing to because they would lose it.
One of my favorites of Emma is and Rolf Sanchez singing - Pa Olvidarte
Their stage chemistry is great.
ruclips.net/video/zUhVk-D_wK0/видео.html
I second that they are AWESOME together!
Hi Christi. This was a great performance. Emma's mother had cancer when she was younger. How are you Christi
Beautifull reaction and that you gif the song a place in this difficle times. Check als Henk and Emma duet.
I think I like Emma's version more than the original
We're blessed with You-tubers like Emma. Beste Zangers 2019 got the most viewers ever. Like more of the replyers suggested, please check out Emma and Henk with Vivo per Lei (ruclips.net/video/OumZnDaQINo/видео.html).
Another suggestion: Beste Zangers 2018 with the opera singer Maria Fiselier with Eminem's rap "Lose Yourself" (ruclips.net/video/8YyuIkVSx-8/видео.html).
Best wishes and stay safe all the way from the Netherlands !!
Love your reactions! I know Emma has a large following on her RUclips-channel. She does a special ‘thing’, where she translates popular songs (from Indonesia, the Filippines and other non-English countries.... I don’t know exactly which ones 😊) and she turns them into English covers. I would definitely recomment ‘Hanya Rindu’, it’s a beautiful romantic song. And very beautifully sung by Emma! ♥️

That's a really cool approach, a young singer should do that a lot ... Will make her a fantastic composer some day too.
Emna said to Floor she admired her for being a stromg powerwoman, and Floor got a little shy 😎🐱👤🌹 Henk Poort & Emma Heesters - Vivo Per Lei | Beste Zangers 2019: ruclips.net/video/OumZnDaQINo/видео.html 💕💕💕 By the wat Flooe wrote the song: Music and Lyrics 👌
Yeah Chrisri needs Henk and Emma's Vivo Per Lei.
Please react to more EMMA HEESTERS from Beste Zangers show!
You can try the duet with Henk - Vivo Per Lei or Wie Je Was! ;-)
Great reaction. Btw, her last name is pronounced with and e like in hey or hay.
People watch Voice Love Co. none reactions too, they have beautiful messages.
For more Floor, try her and Troy performing Nemo for a Planet Rock acoustic session. :)
I prefer Emma on this song than Floor. Her voice connects with me instantly. She made this song so sad
And Floor's didn't? 🤦
Yes, I prefer Emma on this onto floor as well. I feel the connection easier, and the key and the tone she uses suit the song and bring out the warm feelings in me better. No one is taking away from Floor's talent , but she's not Number one in everything to me. And that's OK.
@@Rosannasfriend watch the one from her live show recently where her mother is in the audience...
ruclips.net/video/YZT6VEN1ZoE/видео.html
I think it is possible to be too close to the material. Floor just can't control her voice singing this song it is too much for her. Emma has a little more distance from the material. I do also prefer Emmas tone. The whole arrangement of this song is beautiful and obviously Floor thought so as she has since started singing this version. Kudos to the band and Emma :)
Beautiful! Can you please react to "Bring him home, Les miserables 10th anniversary?
Just an incredible cover of that song! For something more upbeat on this show by Emma Heesters, try Sex Machine. She kills that too.
❤
I would also love to see you react to Tim's version of Nemo and MY girl. Also Rolf's version of Hotel California.
Yes, it is a beautiful message, but you got it slightly wrong. Don't shoot me. In the full episode you see Floor and Emma talking about why Emma choose the song she did for Floor. The song was written by Floor about watching her mother struggle with illness and trying to put on a brave face. Emma's Mother also was ill and it bonded them together with her rendition of the song.
I think emma "produced" the live version/band herself
I recomend new options for your reacts. Please, reacts to spanish singer DIANA NAVARRO and her song "El Perdón". Best regards from Bournemouth, UK.
It's Haysters btw.. pronunciation wise.
Hi Christie, love the reaction (like always). I really like this song. It's really personal for Floor and she rarely performs it, so when I saw the live video from her solo tour, it was like a Christmas morning lol. I'd really like for you to check out a performance of this song, but in 2007 (with her previous band After Forever). I think it would be interesting to see how much has Floor and her voice changed through the years, also the arrangement of the song is a bit different. ruclips.net/video/rGCoiSWZjM4/видео.html
She did a nice job with this. A little too Mariah Carey for me, but I'm comparing her to the Valkyrie that is Floor. Very well sung though.

Hi please react to kz tandingan rolling in the deep. She's a super talented filipino singer.
Beste zangers = Dear singers
I think you now might consider another duet from Henk and Emma at the same show. Vivo Per Lei
m.ruclips.net/video/OumZnDaQINo/видео.html
Welp.. Been a while since last i watered my beard..
Awesome! Please also react to: Henk Poort & Emma Heesters - Vivo Per Lei. It's from the same show.
I have watched the episode with Emma as the featured artist ( Beste Zangers 2019) , It is almost in her genes in singing - Father I think has something to with music , and mother involved in a amateur music theatre group.
Also Rolf Sanchez did some great songs.
I recommend listening to the gift that Rosalía gave us at the 2019 Goya Awards "Me quedo contigo" and also the song "El perdón" by Diana Navarro. A big hug from Spain
Another suggestion:
Nightwish's Floor Jansen and Troy Donockley play an acoustic version of Nemo. (Planet Rock acoustic session) - ruclips.net/video/FC7HYfc5y0A/видео.html And …….. Also don't forget that their new album is coming out in 2 weeks!
This is a link to all Beste Zangers episodes. I'm not sure it's viewable from outside The Netherlands. No subtitles..

I'm really impressed with your professional reaction. Could you please react to Hua Chenyu's "Child" and "Nunchucks"? He used so many different tones and genres in this song. His voice control is always amazing, I really think you would like these songs. Please check them out and looking forward to your reaction .Thank you.❤️
Child:
ruclips.net/video/s14WlqrOTF8/видео.html
Nunchucks:
ruclips.net/video/lLs-0A0yEuA/видео.html
"Nunchucks" is a song about young men of streets, they are fascinated by martial arts.
During the filming of TV program "Singer" in 2018, "Hua Chenyu" has spent 48 hours to make an adaptation of the song .
He put in multi musical elements like vocal, rap, chinese tradional opera & rock. His stage performance was awesome & also amazing. You would never regret.
Love this suggestions, Hua Chenyu is so versatile and I love how he bring different elements in each performances, he is original and talented
love both songs so much!amazing performance!He always surprise people,when he sang Chinese Opera in"Nunchucks"!Emotional voice in"Child",listen in heaven!
I like these two songs.Hua Chenyu's songs fascinate me. By its "Nunchucks"is really wonderful rock. "Child",Hua Chenyu's voice is like a voice from heaven. Love it so much.
