Personally, I think the duet that Hank Poort did with Emma Heesters was better if for no other reason that Floor was well within her comfort zone while Henk really pushed Emma well beyond what she would normally be capable of.
Little background info. Floor is a huge fan of this man, who is also known as The Dutch Phantom. He played the role in the dutch version of the musical and was one of Andrew Loyd Webbers favorites. Floor was very happy she got to do this. Love the love, keep it up!
In an interview Floor's sister Irene talked about when Floor was 11 .. dancing through the house singing songs from the POTO .. wearing pigtails and with a poster of Henke in her room.
Happy is an understatement. She was positively giddy. She was grinning so much she had a hard time playing the role with facial expressions though her body did most of the time:-)
True, but for setting the "magnitude" of things, Henk said they had something like 1000 repetitions of dutch Phantom, and he sang more than half of them... so he had more than 500 executions of this piece "under his belt"... And btw when Floor asked him to do the duett with her, his condition was that next time Nightwish plays in Netherlands, he will sing this song with them... and it was even so far that the date was known, their next concert was planned to be in Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam, on 30th November 2020 (i hope i remeber that correctly). After the BZ '19 aired in autumn '19, that concert got sold out within 2-3 days, so they added one more (29th) and THAT one got like 95% sold out within one week after publishing... i know i thought about whether i could travel to Netherlands for that event... Floor managet to perform short tour through Netherlands in Jan/Feb '20 together with Henk, singing songs from all her groups she was with and also some from BZ, and then that damn Corona happened, and the concerts were all cancelled, one by one... eh. I at least went to purchase their new album (Human Nature) to show them some support in times without concerts...
Floor Jansen adored Henk Poort from her early teens when she saw him perform the Phantom of the Opera. Henk Poort was the only reason that Floor was on the show. Henk never heard of Floor and when Floor asked Henk to do the Phantom with her, he agreed only when he would perform with Nightwish when they were in the Netherlands. Floor agreed, then Covid came, and now Henk is in the program of Floor's solo concerts in the Netherlands. Floor said that singing with Henk in this TV show was a highpoint in her life and she called the result "magical" and a once in a lifetime experience. They only rehearsed twice, by the way, mainly to steer the band. Henk surprised Floor with distortion in his voice in her honor. You can see she was pleasantly surprised. As for the TV show, it is not a competition. It is about celebrating each other's music, life (lot of personal stories between songs, sometimes very emotional) and artistry. Singers are invited to the show 6 months prior and have to give a list of favourite songs from their own making or other songs important in their lives. All other singers will sing for all other participants. One is in the hot seat every week. The final week is duets, where participants choose another participant to do a duet with. Important note: They all have to come alone to a remote location. No family, no managers, nobody is allowed evan to go outside the venue. In the ten days the recordings take place, the group grows very close to each other. There are full episodes of the 2019 edition on youtube with english subtitles, if you are interested in for example Floor in the hot seat.
That last note was a D6 for 8 seconds! Look for the full episodes as they will give you more context about the show. It's not a competition but just 7 artists singing for eachother. Each episode is centered around one of the artists and the last episode they do these duets
A fabulous music band and background singers who accompany all the songs with their great talent... 7 singing artists and 1 presenter who is aware as a singer of what is happening in this genre on a couch Let one person be the main guest per broadcast, and the other sing a song by or about the main character of that evening. And... see here the best show without any form of competition who should be the best here... The cozy intimate coziness is already worth watching.
As Bobber already mentioned, the show doesn't have any winners. It is singers appreciating other singers singing songs that have a meaning to them, either something they wrote/sang themselves or something they grew up with. Eg. Floor sang a metal arrangement of Vilja Lied (from Franz Lehár' Merry Widow) for Henk, whose mother used to sing that song for him during his childhood.
Also, Floor singing Vilja Lied was the first song in Henk Poorts Beste Zangers show, which in turn was the first show of the season. This duet was the final song of the season. Before Beste Zangers, Floor was basically unknown in the Netherlands, and this included the other participants. So you need to watch their faces during Floors first song. Also, since Beste Zangers Floor and Henk regularly visit each other‘s solo concerts and sing Phantom, „Dangerous Game“ (from Jekyll & Hyde; another must-see) and other songs together.
😂😂😂 what did just happend….😜 Floor is a big fan of Henk and when she heard Henk was doing the tv show she didn’t have to think twice to join when they asked her! And now Henk is joining her on stage when possible i guess! You should check out the two together on her Amsterdam solo show! “ Sweet curse” is one off my favorites! 👌🏻
Wow. I remember the first time I saw this and thought that Floor is singing over this guy, until Henk Poort completely shook me to the curb! Check out his interpretation of Sound of Silence from the same show. It's something magical too.
When Dominika said: What else can Floor bring as a performer, All i could think was, Please watch Floor in her band 'ReVamp' With the song 'Disdain' Live. She wrote it, and she will surprise you. ua-cam.com/video/iNSf64M9uA0/v-deo.html
The first song Floor sang at this show was Vilja Lied for Henk, the best version is with commentary (jenniezelfs videos) and they start by talking about how important it is for her and she blows everyone away. You should absolutely watch them all she shows so many sides in the songs.
I really like the concept of Beste Zangers as a show. I really love how it is not a competition show, but a place for great artists to honor one another and challenge themselves by singing in musical styles they normally would not. In each episode one musical artist is honored by the others. The singer who is the guest of honor sits next to the host and answers questions and shares anecdotes about their life. The other singers take turns singing a song that is either from that artist's career or holds special meaning to them. At the end of the episode the artist that is being honored selects which performance of the night was their favorite. After all the singers have taken a turn being the guest of honor, the last episode of the season features all of the singers pairing up for duets. Each singer chooses a song they want to perform as a duet with another artist on the show.
Imagine having the opportunity to sing together with one of your absolute childhood idols ... and you both absolutely kill it. To do this, your childhood idol becomes a friend and if you have a concert yourself, he is immediately willing to sing with you together and also invites you to sing with him at some of his concerts. I think if someone would have told this to Floors teen me, she would have probably declared that person crazy! Well, but that's exactly what happened ^^
Floor was inspired by Henk when she was growing up and she was so excited to be able to perform with him. The program is about each episode the other artists pick a song from a list provided by the one on the couch, put their own spin on it and perform it live. The last episode, which this was from, they perform duets. To make this performance even more impressive is that the tent almost collapsed from the rain (which you can see if you look closer)
I love watching Floor fangirling out. Henk is a huge inspiration to Floor. When the show contacted Floor about being on the show. When she heard Henk was going to be there. She couldn't agree fast enough.
A great singer like Floor is able to sing something that is hard and make it look easy. Floor said one of the hardest songs to sing is Ever Dream, but when we see and hear it, to us it looks like it's effortless for her. 😊🤘
Loved your reaction. The look on your faces was priceless. For more astonishing Floor, listen to her do Puccini ua-cam.com/video/Od_qcbw3f5Q/v-deo.html
This was so adorable.The both of with open mouths. LIke al of us when we saw this for the first time. Floor is a big fan of Henk, so that explains the big smile in the beginning. Floor did ask Henk to sing this song with Nightwish, when they would play in Amsterdam. Henk would have done so, but then came Covid. Maybe he will, in the upcoming concerts, but somhowe I doubt it. He was able to sing with Floor in a couple of concerts in early 2020. Wich was great.
Fantastic reaction once again!! This is not an competition in any way! Every time someone is sitting on a couch and all the other present singer performs a song that means a lot to that person. It could be a song the main person wrote or a song that means a lot to them.,but in their own genre they are use to sing At the end everybody take a part in a duet like you just witnessed. A strongly suggest you take a look at Henk Poort singing a beautiful duet with Emma Heesters from the same show called Vivo per lei(I live for you) Stunning!!!!! And another one would be Henk singing the sound of silence to Floor. Ever since this show Henk joined Floor a couple of times during her solo shows in Amsterdam, the Netherlands!! Thank you for your reactions and have a nice day! Lots of love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱💚
The week that performance aired, it "broke" the internet. "metal lady and opera guy" rocks the tv show. Your facial expressions were me in the mirror. I still remember the day I first heard it. *shivers* The thing with Floor is that you still haven't heard all "colors" of her voice. She really perfected many different ways of singing and we have links :D
The band is phenomenal thru out the whole 2019 BZ series. So good that Floor asked them to tour with her for her solo concerts. Most accepted, the ones who didn't, wanted to but had prior commitments. They can play any genre. Fantastic! And the back up vocalists are so damn good too.
Henk mainly plays in operas and musicals. His major roles include Erik (the Phantom) in the Dutch version of The Phantom of the Opera and Jean Valjean in the first staging of the Dutch version of Les Misérables in the late 1990s. He also sang as one of the "17 Valjeans" at Les Misérables: The Dream Cast in Concert. His most recent role was Tevye in Anatevka.
The concept of the show is that there are 7 singers. Each show one of the singers takes the spotlight and the others choose a song that has been important for the spotlighted singer in their life. At the end of the show the spotlighted singers choses the singer who has moved them the most. This is not really a competition, just singers singing each others songs.
Don´t know if you knew it already but Henk Poort was the original Phantom in the dutch version of the musical and also did Jean Valjean in the dutch version of Les Miserables. He´s an outstanding singer and the raspy voice he did was in honor to Floor
Just in case you two didn't know: "Phantom Of The Opera" is not an opera, but it is a musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Also, if you appreciate Henk Poort's singing, please react to his other duet on Beste Zangers, with Emma Heesters singing "Vivo Per Lei".
The show takes 7 singers from different genres from Holland and Dutch speaking part of Belgium. In each episode one of them is placed central and the others will sing a song that has a meaning for the central person. There is a list to chose from but it will be a surprise. Every song has a meaning, that can be an own song or something with a memory so stories are shared about life experiences and it can become very emotional or very funny. Because they are all from different genres singers need to step out there musical comfort zone or change the song of choice into their musical comfort zone (Like Rolf Sanchez - Hotel California he did for Floor)). The last episode the the fun duet one where each singer has to chose one of the others to sing a duet with like this one. It is no competition, just a small gathering to share stories and sing to each other.
Henk is a musical theatre legend and one of my music heroes. From his role as the Dutch Phantom to Jean Valjean in Les Mis and many more. And of course Floor is Herself.
Henk Poort was the Dutch phantom for many, many years, so he knows this song like no other. And I have heard that he is actually Andrew Lloyd Webber's favourite phantom. So specially with this song, he is not just a Dutch opera/musical singer, he is the best you can get for this song
Floor and Henk do more stuff together: Sweet curse; Dangerous Game (Jekyll and Hyde).😁🤘🔥🔥🔥😎 The Show BesteZangers2019….there are some Videos with untertitle in english.
Oh my goodness, your faces said it all! I have listened to this many times and it never ceases to amaze me. I have also listened to Tarja. Once. She has a beautiful voice, but Floor is something special. Loved your reaction as usual.
The concept is not competition. They gather current singers of differing disciplines and each episode they feature one performer. All of the other performers are challenged to learn about them and present either one of the features songs or something I. Their style or a tribute to them... it is more a celebration of the entirety of music and kind of fun to take people out of their "comfort zone" .
in this show some very different singers come together. aAll with different styles or background.every episode one of them is the "center"guest of the show.the other singers then make a sort of tribute to that person..it could be with a song of her/his repetoire or music that had influence in their life or career..it's not a compatition, more a tribute to the main guest. the season than ends with the duet's..Floor had as a young girls a crush for Henk. it was her wish to sing one's with Henk. she finally could do it with this result...I loved your faces at the end with the high note...perfect..haha..
Is this a first time ever ? I never heard you both speechless and correct me if I’m wrong, I never saw you going back before and listen something again ?!
This is the best reaction (along with Rebecca The Vocal Athlete's reaction) I have ever seen and watched to any recording of any song. It was fantastic seeing this keep it up!!
Henk is an amazing singer. If you want to see more of his songs from this show, please react to The Sound of Silence, Noelia and his duet with Emma Heesters, Vivo Per Lei. They are all incredible. They will blow your mind.
You were bopping along to the music, and then when the last section began, you stopped, transfixed, watching in silence. That reaction said it all, without words. Stunning performance from both, helped by the powerful chemistry between them. They both are enjoying themselves immensely, not only vocally, but also acting out their parts. As others have already said, Henk is a childhood idol of Floor's, and their meeting in Beste Zangers has led to a great frienship, with Henk making frequent guest appearances at Floor's solo concerts.
The concept of the program is that each episode is one "artist's day". Then other artists perform their own versions of his/her songs. For example, on Floor's day, Tim Akkerman performed his own version of the Nightwish song Nemo ua-cam.com/video/aRu-2tWzRf8/v-deo.html . This performance of The Phantom of the Opera was from the end of the season, when they only performed other (random) songs.
I love, love, love seeing those 'WTF just happened ?' faces at the end where Floor is singing like her life depends on the performance. Floor and Henk are both legendary in their own rights and together they gave us something magical, I'm so glad you loved it like so many of us do.
Show concept: This is NOT a contest. It is a music appreciation show. Each season the show brings together 7 or so dutch singers from different genres. Each episode of that season, one of the singers is focused on, they talk about how they got into music, what their influences are, etc. In between the chatting, each of the other performers does a song from that feature artist's repertoire, or a song that means something to them, and they talk about why they chose to do that song. At the end of each show the feature artist selects which of the performances touched them the most, but no winners/losers. Then for the last show of the season, the "Duets" show, each artist gets to pick one of the other artists to perform a duet of a song of their choice. Floor saw Henk perform as the Phantom in the dutch musical when she was around 12 years old, and idolized him. When she found out Henk was doing the show, she immediately signed up for it as well and was determined to sing this song with Henk (in an interview with Floor's sister Irene, she talked about how Floor ran around the house singing this song non-stop after seing the musical). Henk said yes, if he could perform it with Floor and Nightwish when their tour reached Amsterdam. Floor of course said YES! Unfortunately COVID happened so they haven't been able to fulfill that promise...yet. So there is STILL a chance that we eventually get to see them perform it with Nightwish backing them up!
Not getting old Dominika! Just maturing like a fine wine! This song is just Wow! Most of the show is all about singing songs for each other. The singer chose a song by the other performers or one that was an influence on their careers. They do it to honor each other, not compete. This was the final episode and it was just a duet show for fun.
Floor Jansen and Henk Poort have already sung this song live a few times, including at the Dutch pop music event "Pinkpop" with the beautiful Floor in a pink suit / costume
Hi you lovely couple - your faces when Floor escalates in the dramatic finish are absolutely gorgeous to behold. Floor has been an admirer of Henk since her school days. They collaborate/co-perform now on a number of songs - for me the absolute magic one is SWEET CURSE - check it out - magic :)
I don't know how you 2 kept from getting teary eyed at the end, this still does it and I've heard it many times. I could tell she blew your minds as she does with us all. Keep up the great reactions and don't tell Dominika she's old! 🤘
Until today I remember exactly the evening this was send out on Dutch national tv , Twitter , Facebook UA-cam you name it , they all exploded here in the Netherlands , all in awh by this briljant performance 😍 Floor is giving a solococert here on the third of September , we got tickets , I hope she brings Henk along to sing this ! A day later she will be singing our Dutch national anthem at the formule 1 races at Zandvoort , I hope she sings it in her own Floor style , looking forward to it . Meanwhile keep reacting to Nightwish and Floor the two of you . Thank you ❤️
All the people on the couches are famous singers in The Netherlands. They sing each others songs in their own version. Not to judge but to admire. The last episode they sing duets and that is where this song came from.
You were 'gobsmacked' as we say here in the UK - but then again I think we all knew that it was affect you in such a way. They knew they'd done something special by the way they hugged eachother at the end. I can't remember what you've covered already from Floor but I would suggest 'O Mio bambino caro' by Puccini and a duet she did with her good friend Simone Simmons (lead singer of Epica) performing 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa' by Pergolesi - 2 lovely pieces of classical music just for a change maybe?! The latter being sung in total silence at the Epica concert! Love your reactions, keep them coming - take care of yourselves 😃
The concept of the show is to bring together a group of Dutch singers for a week of hanging out and talking and they perform songs for each other,...... usually one of the artists own songs, ie when it was Floors turn they would each perform one of Floors songs for her, or to her. Sometimes tho they just would choose a song they felt was appropriate to sing to the other artist. Floor obviously is Dutch but really wasn't well known in her own country until this show aired on Dutch TV. The others were well know pop artists.
You might want to check out "A dangerous game", which they also sing together. Floor did that song with him when nightwish couldn't go on tour, so there initially was only a regular "music video" of that setting, but now there are some live recordings of it as well 😁
This one is so much fun! In the episodes from this season of the show, it's pretty evident that Floor has had a professional crush on Hank for a while, having known of his standing in Dutch theater. You should check out the song she sings to Hank during his episode. Finally, just, imagine sitting 10 feet away while this was happening in front of you. I'd be a mess sitting on that couch. Thanks!
It's not a competition. Singers are invited, partially because of the different genres they perform in. This series had Floor (metal), a salsa singer, a pop singer, Henk (a stage operatic singer - the Netherlands stage actual Phantom performer), and so on. They perform various songs for the other performers. They can put their own spin on those songs. Floor sang Vilja Lied with some parts modded for metal for Henk. She sang one of the salsa songs for that artist in a very different style for him. I believe the one commonality is that they are all from the Netherlands. One of the performers was Tim Akkerman. He Shallow sang with Floor (the better version IMO because the song was written as a duet). He also sang Nemo for Floor ua-cam.com/video/aRu-2tWzRf8/v-deo.html in a kind of accelerated rock style which was great. In general, you should check out the entire show with the subtitles to see their comments. The all found a new appreciation for different styles and genres. Then check out Beste Zangers 2018 and this decent version of Lose Yourself by opera singer Maria Fiselier ua-cam.com/video/8YyuIkVSx-8/v-deo.html
First: Thank you for this magnificent post! You two lovely people are my favorite reactors for any number of reasons. If I may share this: During the Covid "lockdown" here in Las Vegas, NV, You Yube was a kind of refuge. I came to this video from another's comment and recommendation. I didn't know any of these singers but the song blew me away. There were several comments to this video by others saying that Floor's performance with Nightwish was stellar. I didn't know if Nightwish was a group or the name of a song! I soon found out and basically the rest was history for me. Her (Floor's) vocal instrument is a gift from above, given to us to remind us of what is pure and good in our world...IMO. Thanks again for the reaction/post and please take care!
"I do like Floor with this song"..... YES. Bless you both, you were gobsmacked and worn out at the end. A beautiful reaction as always. Thank you. 🙏😊👍❤️
By the way - the different environment you talked about - it was the last song of the night - and the show - and it was furious weather with the rain coming down so hard on the tent, that the production people didn't believe that they could do the performance. You can actually see how the rain pours down behind them, inside the tent!! But Henk and Floor are pro's so they just went for it - the result makes some people speach less 🤔😁😉🤘
Because I'm a chess nerd, and this fits: Queen to D6. Checkmate. 😂 Fun fact: When this video was released in 2019, it had the most views of any video in 24 hours, a record that I believe has yet to be broken.
Great reaction as usual guys, love it that you do my two favourite bands (Nightwish and Sabaton) so often. And it is true, Floor can make everything sound great. Have you seen the clip where a reporter gives her a phonebook and asks her to sing? Needless to say, Floor does not back down from a challenge.
Yes, that was great ! Live at NPO radio 2. And the whole interview was also streamed live, so the rest of the world could watch it. She sang "Fire" there for the first time on Dutch radio.
I don’t know if you will dive in other performances from this show: you have to do at least one: Floor performing ‘Vilja Lied’ for Henk Poort. This is the first song of the first show of the 2019 season. Floor was at the time not well known in her own country and the other singers had no idea what to expect from some metal singer. The amazement on their faces alone is worth watching. Kind of reactors watching reactors. Floor choose the Vilja Lied because she knew that it was one of the favorite songs of Henk Poort because his mother would sing it at home when he was a boy. The only warning: if you go on with this show you step in the same trap as when you started with NightWish.
For me this is the Duet of the Century. Excellent singing and acting chemistry between those two vocal titans. 💗👫👍
100 % agree

Stunned silence at the end....PERFECT response!
She's capable of everything
That's why she's the Queen
Goddess?

Absolutely worth while, listening to the background stories.

Chills everytime I see this performance ❤️
Floor was inspired by Henk when she was growing up and she was so excited to be able to perform with him.
The program is about each episode the other artists pick a song from a list provided by the one on the couch, put their own spin on it and perform it live.
The last episode, which this was from, they perform duets.
To make this performance even more impressive is that the tent almost collapsed from the rain (which you can see if you look closer)
Floor is trained in opera singing and a voice coach herself; she knows what she does and there's nothing fake about this performance.
I love watching Floor fangirling out. Henk is a huge inspiration to Floor. When the show contacted Floor about being on the show. When she heard Henk was going to be there. She couldn't agree fast enough.
8:20 - 8:45
- Your faces say it all!
Dropped jaws, eyes wide, stunned silence as you look at each other with disbelief!
😂 👏
Amazing isn’t it!
..Duet of the century. And Floor🌷 is the most magical being, totally from another dimension.
A great singer like Floor is able to sing something that is hard and make it look easy. Floor said one of the hardest songs to sing is Ever Dream, but when we see and hear it, to us it looks like it's effortless for her. 😊🤘
Floor is Floor just enjoy being alive at the same time as her .
I knew you'd love it 😊
Loved your reaction, vivo per lei is one of my favourites, Henk Poort and Emma Heesters, beautiful!
Loved your reaction. The look on your faces was priceless. For more astonishing Floor, listen to her do Puccini ua-cam.com/video/Od_qcbw3f5Q/v-deo.html
This was so adorable.The both of with open mouths. LIke al of us when we saw this for the first time. Floor is a big fan of Henk, so that explains the big smile in the beginning. Floor did ask Henk to sing this song with Nightwish, when they would play in Amsterdam. Henk would have done so, but then came Covid. Maybe he will, in the upcoming concerts, but somhowe I doubt it. He was able to sing with Floor in a couple of concerts in early 2020. Wich was great.
Henk also joined Floor her solo show at Paaspop and Pinkpop, Dutch music festivals, and will be at Hertme, the 3th of September 😀
Fantastic reaction once again!!
This is not an competition in any way! Every time someone is sitting on a couch and all the other present singer performs a song that means a lot to that person. It could be a song the main person wrote or a song that means a lot to them.,but in their own genre they are use to sing At the end everybody take a part in a duet like you just witnessed.
A strongly suggest you take a look at Henk Poort singing a beautiful duet with Emma Heesters from the same show called Vivo per lei(I live for you) Stunning!!!!!
And another one would be Henk singing the sound of silence to Floor. Ever since this show Henk joined Floor a couple of times during her solo shows in Amsterdam, the Netherlands!!
Thank you for your reactions and have a nice day!
Lots of love from the Netherlands
🇳🇱💚
The week that performance aired, it "broke" the internet. "metal lady and opera guy" rocks the tv show.
Your facial expressions were me in the mirror. I still remember the day I first heard it. *shivers*
The thing with Floor is that you still haven't heard all "colors" of her voice. She really perfected many different ways of singing and we have links :D
Let's forget the old slow stuff, hail to the new standard.
Their performance was sublime but lets not forget that fantastic band behind them.
The band is phenomenal thru out the whole 2019 BZ series. So good that Floor asked them to tour with her for her solo concerts. Most accepted, the ones who didn't, wanted to but had prior commitments. They can play any genre. Fantastic! And the back up vocalists are so damn good too.
Henk mainly plays in operas and musicals. His major roles include Erik (the Phantom) in the Dutch version of The Phantom of the Opera and Jean Valjean in the first staging of the Dutch version of Les Misérables in the late 1990s. He also sang as one of the "17 Valjeans" at Les Misérables: The Dream Cast in Concert. His most recent role was Tevye in Anatevka.
Yep, Hank has been doing this for much longer than Floor has :P
I literally cried at the finale of this song. It felt like more than a Floorgasm, I felt the Schudder Before the Beautiful. 😉
The look on your faces at the end was PRICELESS!!! GREAT REACTION. Love you guys.
Without words, your faces say it all! Thank you!
Wow. I never saw such out of the world experience such as you two.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Well done folk 💥💥💥
The one and only - Floor 🖤
The concept of the show is that there are 7 singers. Each show one of the singers takes the spotlight and the others choose a song that has been important for the spotlighted singer in their life. At the end of the show the spotlighted singers choses the singer who has moved them the most. This is not really a competition, just singers singing each others songs.
Don´t know if you knew it already but Henk Poort was the original Phantom in the dutch version of the musical and also did Jean Valjean in the dutch version of Les Miserables. He´s an outstanding singer and the raspy voice he did was in honor to Floor
Just in case you two didn't know: "Phantom Of The Opera" is not an opera, but it is a musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Also, if you appreciate Henk Poort's singing, please react to his other duet on Beste Zangers, with Emma Heesters singing "Vivo Per Lei".
The show takes 7 singers from different genres from Holland and Dutch speaking part of Belgium. In each episode one of them is placed central and the others will sing a song that has a meaning for the central person. There is a list to chose from but it will be a surprise. Every song has a meaning, that can be an own song or something with a memory so stories are shared about life experiences and it can become very emotional or very funny. Because they are all from different genres singers need to step out there musical comfort zone or change the song of choice into their musical comfort zone (Like Rolf Sanchez - Hotel California he did for Floor)). The last episode the the fun duet one where each singer has to chose one of the others to sing a duet with like this one. It is no competition, just a small gathering to share stories and sing to each other.
Henk is a musical theatre legend and one of my music heroes. From his role as the Dutch Phantom to Jean Valjean in Les Mis and many more. And of course Floor is Herself.
Henk Poort was the Dutch phantom for many, many years, so he knows this song like no other. And I have heard that he is actually Andrew Lloyd Webber's favourite phantom. So specially with this song, he is not just a Dutch opera/musical singer, he is the best you can get for this song
Floor and Henk do more stuff together: Sweet curse; Dangerous Game (Jekyll and Hyde).😁🤘🔥🔥🔥😎
The Show BesteZangers2019….there are some Videos with untertitle in english.
Oh my goodness, your faces said it all! I have listened to this many times and it never ceases to amaze me. I have also listened to Tarja. Once. She has a beautiful voice, but Floor is something special. Loved your reaction as usual.
The concept is not competition. They gather current singers of differing disciplines and each episode they feature one performer. All of the other performers are challenged to learn about them and present either one of the features songs or something I. Their style or a tribute to them... it is more a celebration of the entirety of music and kind of fun to take people out of their "comfort zone" .
Floor always makes me smile. And so do the two of you reacting to this song. Thanks for that!
in this show some very different singers come together. aAll with different styles or background.every episode one of them is the "center"guest of the show.the other singers then make a sort of tribute to that person..it could be with a song of her/his repetoire or music that had influence in their life or career..it's not a compatition, more a tribute to the main guest. the season than ends with the duet's..Floor had as a young girls a crush for Henk. it was her wish to sing one's with Henk. she finally could do it with this result...I loved your faces at the end with the high note...perfect..haha..
Hello, you should listen to Henk and Emma singing Vivo per lei. And also Henk singing the sound or silence. They are worth it...
Is this a first time ever ? I never heard you both speechless and correct me if I’m wrong, I never saw you going back before and listen something again ?!
You will be blown away by Floor and Henk doing sweet curse or/ and dangerous game .
Henk was always big Floor's idol 🤗
This is the best reaction (along with Rebecca The Vocal Athlete's reaction) I have ever seen and watched to any recording of any song. It was fantastic seeing this keep it up!!
Very true. They didn't have the "Do It!" moment, but that's ok, good stuff nonetheless.
Henk is an amazing singer. If you want to see more of his songs from this show, please react to The Sound of Silence, Noelia and his duet with Emma Heesters, Vivo Per Lei. They are all incredible. They will blow your mind.
Yes, agreed!
You were bopping along to the music, and then when the last section began, you stopped, transfixed, watching in silence. That reaction said it all, without words. Stunning performance from both, helped by the powerful chemistry between them. They both are enjoying themselves immensely, not only vocally, but also acting out their parts. As others have already said, Henk is a childhood idol of Floor's, and their meeting in Beste Zangers has led to a great frienship, with Henk making frequent guest appearances at Floor's solo concerts.
The concept of the program is that each episode is one "artist's day". Then other artists perform their own versions of his/her songs. For example, on Floor's day, Tim Akkerman performed his own version of the Nightwish song Nemo ua-cam.com/video/aRu-2tWzRf8/v-deo.html . This performance of The Phantom of the Opera was from the end of the season, when they only performed other (random) songs.
I heard this at least a 1000 times but still it gives me goosebumps ❣️
I love, love, love seeing those 'WTF just happened ?' faces at the end where Floor is singing like her life depends on the performance. Floor and Henk are both legendary in their own rights and together they gave us something magical, I'm so glad you loved it like so many of us do.
Show concept: This is NOT a contest. It is a music appreciation show. Each season the show brings together 7 or so dutch singers from different genres. Each episode of that season, one of the singers is focused on, they talk about how they got into music, what their influences are, etc. In between the chatting, each of the other performers does a song from that feature artist's repertoire, or a song that means something to them, and they talk about why they chose to do that song. At the end of each show the feature artist selects which of the performances touched them the most, but no winners/losers. Then for the last show of the season, the "Duets" show, each artist gets to pick one of the other artists to perform a duet of a song of their choice.
Floor saw Henk perform as the Phantom in the dutch musical when she was around 12 years old, and idolized him. When she found out Henk was doing the show, she immediately signed up for it as well and was determined to sing this song with Henk (in an interview with Floor's sister Irene, she talked about how Floor ran around the house singing this song non-stop after seing the musical). Henk said yes, if he could perform it with Floor and Nightwish when their tour reached Amsterdam. Floor of course said YES! Unfortunately COVID happened so they haven't been able to fulfill that promise...yet. So there is STILL a chance that we eventually get to see them perform it with Nightwish backing them up!
Probably this November, at the Ziggo Dome.
Not getting old Dominika! Just maturing like a fine wine! This song is just Wow! Most of the show is all about singing songs for each other. The singer chose a song by the other performers or one that was an influence on their careers. They do it to honor each other, not compete.
This was the final episode and it was just a duet show for fun.
Floor Jansen and Henk Poort have already sung this song live a few times,
including at the Dutch pop music event "Pinkpop" with the beautiful Floor in a pink suit / costume
Sing🤘 my Angel of Music
They are all singers, singing eachother's songs
Hi you lovely couple - your faces when Floor escalates in the dramatic finish are absolutely gorgeous to behold. Floor has been an admirer of Henk since her school days. They collaborate/co-perform now on a number of songs - for me the absolute magic one is SWEET CURSE - check it out - magic :)
Great reaction ! I loved seeing your faces when Henk used destortion and with Floor's end note .
Henk Poort Sound of Silence.
I don't know how you 2 kept from getting teary eyed at the end, this still does it and I've heard it many times. I could tell she blew your minds as she does with us all. Keep up the great reactions and don't tell Dominika she's old! 🤘
Until today I remember exactly the evening this was send out on Dutch national tv , Twitter , Facebook UA-cam you name it , they all exploded here in the Netherlands , all in awh by this briljant performance 😍
Floor is giving a solococert here on the third of September , we got tickets , I hope she brings Henk along to sing this !
A day later she will be singing our Dutch national anthem at the formule 1 races at Zandvoort , I hope she sings it in her own Floor style , looking forward to it .
Meanwhile keep reacting to Nightwish and Floor the two of you .
Thank you ❤️
Tot zaterdag over een week dan 😀, en ja Floor heeft ergens gezegd, op Instagram of zo, dat Henk mee komt naar Hertme.
@@bettymajoor ha , leuk nieuws , bedankt en tot ziens in Hertme 🙋
All the people on the couches are famous singers in The Netherlands. They sing each others songs in their own version. Not to judge but to admire. The last episode they sing duets and that is where this song came from.
You were 'gobsmacked' as we say here in the UK - but then again I think we all knew that it was affect you in such a way. They knew they'd done something special by the way they hugged eachother at the end. I can't remember what you've covered already from Floor but I would suggest 'O Mio bambino caro' by Puccini and a duet she did with her good friend Simone Simmons (lead singer of Epica) performing 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa' by Pergolesi - 2 lovely pieces of classical music just for a change maybe?! The latter being sung in total silence at the Epica concert! Love your reactions, keep them coming - take care of yourselves 😃
The concept of the show is to bring together a group of Dutch singers for a week of hanging out and talking and they perform songs for each other,...... usually one of the artists own songs, ie when it was Floors turn they would each perform one of Floors songs for her, or to her. Sometimes tho they just would choose a song they felt was appropriate to sing to the other artist. Floor obviously is Dutch but really wasn't well known in her own country until this show aired on Dutch TV. The others were well know pop artists.
You might want to check out "A dangerous game", which they also sing together. Floor did that song with him when nightwish couldn't go on tour, so there initially was only a regular "music video" of that setting, but now there are some live recordings of it as well 😁
I concur - Dangerous Game is also really good
This one is so much fun! In the episodes from this season of the show, it's pretty evident that Floor has had a professional crush on Hank for a while, having known of his standing in Dutch theater. You should check out the song she sings to Hank during his episode. Finally, just, imagine sitting 10 feet away while this was happening in front of you. I'd be a mess sitting on that couch. Thanks!
Great reaction, Henk Poort did an awesome rendition of sound of silence, I’d love to see you react to that.
You guys are funny. He looks at you as he often does .. we can see it .. simple .. it is with love
The smile at the begining of the song is to be able to sing vowels like a and e easier .
It's not a competition. Singers are invited, partially because of the different genres they perform in. This series had Floor (metal), a salsa singer, a pop singer, Henk (a stage operatic singer - the Netherlands stage actual Phantom performer), and so on. They perform various songs for the other performers. They can put their own spin on those songs. Floor sang Vilja Lied with some parts modded for metal for Henk. She sang one of the salsa songs for that artist in a very different style for him. I believe the one commonality is that they are all from the Netherlands. One of the performers was Tim Akkerman. He Shallow sang with Floor (the better version IMO because the song was written as a duet). He also sang Nemo for Floor ua-cam.com/video/aRu-2tWzRf8/v-deo.html in a kind of accelerated rock style which was great. In general, you should check out the entire show with the subtitles to see their comments. The all found a new appreciation for different styles and genres. Then check out Beste Zangers 2018 and this decent version of Lose Yourself by opera singer Maria Fiselier ua-cam.com/video/8YyuIkVSx-8/v-deo.html
Henk is the favorite in this role to Webber. He has played the role over the years many times.
To me that's the best duette of all times , including operas.
First: Thank you for this magnificent post! You two lovely people are my favorite reactors for any number of reasons. If I may share this: During the Covid "lockdown" here in Las Vegas, NV, You Yube was a kind of refuge. I came to this video from another's comment and recommendation. I didn't know any of these singers but the song blew me away. There were several comments to this video by others saying that Floor's performance with Nightwish was stellar. I didn't know if Nightwish was a group or the name of a song! I soon found out and basically the rest was history for me. Her (Floor's) vocal instrument is a gift from above, given to us to remind us of what is pure and good in our world...IMO. Thanks again for the reaction/post and please take care!
"I do like Floor with this song"..... YES. Bless you both, you were gobsmacked and worn out at the end. A beautiful reaction as always. Thank you. 🙏😊👍❤️
She's The Goddesss
Nothing more to say
From raspy to soprano with 4 octave she can do all what you want
In a very humble way cos she's a Queen
Dangerous Game!!!
Your reactions were priceless!!! I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the fun times.
From 7:51 on, your expressions are priceless lol...nice reaction as always guys!
And them bouncing in their chairs coming to a stunned end....
By the way - the different environment you talked about - it was the last song of the night - and the show - and it was furious weather with the rain coming down so hard on the tent, that the production people didn't believe that they could do the performance. You can actually see how the rain pours down behind them, inside the tent!!
But Henk and Floor are pro's so they just went for it - the result makes some people speach less 🤔😁😉🤘
You two are so beautiful together. You obviously share a love of a great music, I love watching your reactions
Magic! That's perfection folks!!
When Floor's falsetto stops you head bobbing and leaves you open-jawwed
I'm going to recommend Tobias Sammett's Avantasia "Misplaced Among the Angels" featuring Floor Jansen.
Priceless this two faces 😅😅😅
also check out henks version of the sound of silence in beste zangers
Because I'm a chess nerd, and this fits:
Queen to D6. Checkmate. 😂
Fun fact: When this video was released in 2019, it had the most views of any video in 24 hours, a record that I believe has yet to be broken.
Your faces at the end! 😂😂😂😂🏴
I love your personalities and your reaction was priceless.
Great reaction as usual guys, love it that you do my two favourite bands (Nightwish and Sabaton) so often. And it is true, Floor can make everything sound great. Have you seen the clip where a reporter gives her a phonebook and asks her to sing? Needless to say, Floor does not back down from a challenge.
Yes, that was great !
Live at NPO radio 2.
And the whole interview was also streamed live, so the rest of the world could watch it. She sang "Fire" there for the first time on Dutch radio.
I don’t know if you will dive in other performances from this show: you have to do at least one: Floor performing ‘Vilja Lied’ for Henk Poort.
This is the first song of the first show of the 2019 season. Floor was at the time not well known in her own country and the other singers had no idea what to expect from some metal singer. The amazement on their faces alone is worth watching. Kind of reactors watching reactors.
Floor choose the Vilja Lied because she knew that it was one of the favorite songs of Henk Poort because his mother would sing it at home when he was a boy.
The only warning: if you go on with this show you step in the same trap as when you started with NightWish.
Haha love the stunned speechlessness at the end. Floor does that to you, lol.
