Andre Hazes afscheid met zij gelooft in mij Reaction! 

Dude, you are becoming more Dutch than most Dutch people. Seriously respect!

Even now after so many years. When you're in The Netherlands, visit a pub, ask them (especialy late at night) to play one of Hazes' songs, and experience what happens with the crowd. They will all sing along.

Imagine having 15 million residents in holland in 2000 and approx 5 million people watched this tribute live on television + 55000 live at the stadium :O thats comparible with Elvis, Prinses Diana or other greats. His music is still a medicine against the struggle of life for a lot of people today, we miss you Andre !!!!!

Still makes me cry 😢 just about the whole of The Netherlands was watching this on live tv. Seen nothing like this ever since

The secret of Andre Hazes is that he was just a regular bloke. Not a great looker or a glittering showbiz personality. But he had that Voice and a remarkable talent for writing "simple" lyrics that speak to the heart.

andre hazes. i think there is not 1 soul in the netherlands that never heared of him or his music. even if you didnt like his music or him.. you know who he was and what music he made. very emotional and very fitting farewell to a dutch people legend.

Even MJ had not such a beautiful ceremony. This was really a farewell from the folk for the folk singer who touched our hearts for so many years. I remember this as if it was yesterday. The streets were empty that day. Everyone had the tv on watching this.

In the 1970's I walked on to the Leidseplein [Leiden Square] in Amsterdam when there was a small neighbourhood festival going on. A young chubby guy with a microphone stood on a table belting his heart out. The type of music (overly dramatic songs of hope and sadness, sung in Dutch) did not appeal to me, myself being more into English pop, rock and alternative music. But his energy and conviction in his singing was striking. Later I heard about an upcoming Dutch singer André Hazes, and I recognised him as the young man singing so touching. And I understood why he was getting so much attention and started to become a real star. During his further life I saw how many people found solace and life-inspiration in his songs. I too get shivers when the chorus sings "Zij gelooft in mij." ("She believes in me"). Besides this whole stadium many more people were experiencing this tribute, watching live at home. It was a national event.

André Hazes to us is one of the things that unites our people, Its part of our culture and our struggle/mentality.

Hi there i subscribed to your channel a while ago and normally don't do comments but i just had to let you know that i think you are such a warm genuine and loving person even if i don't know you, you can feel the sincerity!! If spreading love is what you want to achieve with your channel you are doing it! Amazing how you see beauty in everything and know how to lift people up with your wise words...bless you and keep it up! Much love from the Netherlands🥰

Andre Hazes is the biggest singer from Holland ever period dude. None of us has grown up without his music. You should check out way more of his original music. You will love it. Blessings from Holland

He was a man with many pains in his soul trying to drink away its pain in songs he explains his feeling and thoughs thats why al lot of people can relate to it even without the alcoholic part

…he had the power to write lyrics that touched each and everyone.

There has never been an artist or king in the Netherlands who, after passing away, received so many people on the street and in the Arena at a funeral.

André Hazes was and still is the greatest and biggest Dutch Folks Singer in the Netherlands who sadly past away on Septhember 23 in 2004. His songs was about life, lost loves, broken hearts and more like that. Something we all have experienced in life. Its the way he sings, his voice, the emotion in his numbers is what touch so many people. There was something special in his voice a lot of singers don't have especially in the Netherlands. I was there in the now called Johan Cruijff Arena at that time (its the stadium of the famous Dutch Football Club Ajax Amsterdam), and it was something i never forget my whole life anymore. I never had that much goosebumps in my life anymore since that evening. He is still the only singer in the Netherlands who had a farewell in a full football stadium. This song "She believes in me" (the original was from Kenny Rogers but André Hazes sang it in Dutch) was one of his most emotional songs. His heart was the Blues but he mixed it with the Dutch song of life. Sadly enough André Hazes became deaf and sick and after that it was done. We will always remember him and play his songs and sing along with it...!

Like it was yesterday I remember. Just little critic this really got emotional right after this when the crowd restarted the song and sang it full blast while the cask got carried away. Song is a Littoral translation of Kenny Rogers "she believes in me"

I wasn't there but I watched it on television. I get goosebumps again watching this. His wife, son, daughter, family and fans were there with his coffin in the middle of the soccer stadium. So many people were there to say goodbuy to Andre Hazes. He got the funeral of a king. Very impressive.

Late reaction... But sill. This was held in the Amsterdam Arena, Andre's favorite soccer club: Ajax' stadium. It holds over 54,000 people and this farewell gala was sold out in mere seconds. And I can assure you, each and every one of those 54,000+ people was able to sing along the entire evening. Respect for your channel. Someone recommended it to me. Loving the content! Peace, love and respect!

I go to his tribute concert every year. He was the greatest.

Just a challenge React to Andre Hazes live in "carre" singing the same song It will def give you an idea how good he was

Every in the netherlands know andere . And over a 100 years hi will be the king in every cafe

His wife, son and daughter were there, they held a speech. His son was very young when Andre died...

And now I'm crying again...Still a big fan.

The original English version is from Kenny Rogers because she believes in me . also great. Andre Hazes whas famous of his finding other languages songs and make it a dutch one just like this one. He thit a Dusty Springfield song also in Dutch really superb. One of his biggest hit song in holland . greets jacco

RIP André….we still all love you! ❤️ ❌ 🤍 ❌ 💙 ❌

This man is our hero. His songs touched every one off us here in the Netherlands. Every song he song whas something out off his life and ous. Andre whas found as a young kid on a marketplace standing on a chest singing. Then he whas found by Hans kraai Jr (famous and also just like Andre a legend). I still got tears in my eyes when I see this video. It's bin a long time I have seen this. His songs are still number one for us. Love your reaction on this one. He is our hero.

I was there, it was a very emotional tribute to this great singer loved by everyone. 52.000 people where there

He was the greatest singer of the Netherlands that's why there where a lot of peaple are there

I was there that night. Cant even describe the feeling that night. Beyond emotional. It was televised live on tv.

I was here! Still gives me chills when i see a clip from this tribute to Andre Hazes sr. He is still missed in the music scene.

you also listen to andre hazes afscheid with danny de munk and marianne weber ,adieu andre, its amazing.very emotionel to for the singers.evrybody loved andre hazes and his music,old ,young people already for 40 years ,even the children now listen to his music,it will never stopt.

Normal I listen only to oldskool rave hardcore and hardrock and metal music but Andre hazes….. you can’t get around ‘m. Great artist. Dutch heritage. Almost in tears again. Did see the entire tribute. It was spectacular.

There will be No and i repeat No one else in the Netherlands who will sing better period ! En voor mijn mede landgenoten 😏 nee geen zin in een discussie 🤣👍

All the Dutch cried on that moment it was live on TV

Het is met 55.500 plaatsen het grootste voetbalstadion van Nederland. Voor concerten is de maximale capaciteit 71.000 bezoekers. De arena....nu heet het de Johan Cruijff stadion. Andre Hazes sr was de allerbeste volkszanger van Nederland!

Within a few hours that is was known they were gonna do a tribute to him in the arena it was full, many more wanted to come but couldnt. Till this day and many years from now his songs are still played in bars/concerts/ tributes and when the crowd hears his songs everybody starts singing. ( Obviously not during Covid time but u get my drift 😉 ). This man had/has a nation behind him, and many people outside that nation love his music too, its insane but awesome!

Almost all dutch people were crying when Andre Hazes sr. was died. A lot of people were watching this at home.

Just saw this while watching another vid of you, I didn't get the notif 🙁 This was all so emotional. But Andre deserved this.

Andre hazes makes more then 130 albums in his career and still now its the most populair singer in holland everybody no the lyrics from poor to rich

The best icoon of the Netherland . Im in tears now

Andre Hazes music means so much for the Dutch people, I think you are Dutch to, you have so many respect and you show your emotions, you are a great guy

Andre dipt his pensil in his heart and wrote the best songs ever!!! Still missing him and his music 😭😭

Went to list last concert. As a big fan it shocked me when he died. The day he died I wore an andre hazes t-shirt and played his music out loud at work. The memorial, could't make it. So with a few close friends sitting at home, tv on full volume, beers and tears

Thanks for this. I watched the complete last farewell that day. Could not stop crying. This video brings it all back. and there were more singers and bands to pay a tribute during that ceremony . André Hazes sr was the greatest folksinger of our country ever. His songs are right from the heart and into the heart from many many people. No matter what other music they like. He touched you. There is a musical about his life too. He will never be forgotten. 💖

watched his farewell tribute entirely live on tv back in time

I loved your reaction, HxC. You are a very compassionate and empathetic person. Much appreciated 🌷🌷🌷

I remember it like it was yesterday.. I wanted to go and just pick up my son from school without permission.. He loved!!!!! Andre Hazes.. (like almost everybody) He was a teenager at the time and I could tell his mood by wich Andre Hazes song I heard from upstairs.. When he went out and heard a Andre Hazes song (The kyte) he would sent me a little sound fragment.. (I have a letter for my mother, who's high up in heaven...) There even is a cd of this farewell. Of course we have it.. I still get emotional watching this..

Still gets to me 😢 goosebumps ♥️

Andre Hazes his music is from 1977. Later on he got more known and his music was huge at our bars. It still is. This means that so many generations know at least 3-4 songs. Hazes his genre was songs about life. The ups and the downs. It is typical bar music here in the Netherlands. And to be honest there is no other country in the world where the bars are that warm, comfy and welcome as here with us. So yes Hazes had earned this tribute. And yes his songs are still being played at the bars. Hazes is our legend…

I was there and wow that impacted me. From 6 in the morning till i do not even remember what time in the night. Cost me my job because i called in sick and my boss had seen me on the news with the biggest beer ever in my hand. But it was woth it!!!!!

You should show the end of this Tribute. André Hazes was our Michael Jackson. You loved him or hated him. Non the less this man connected most of the Netherlands. Again to see this check his departure out of the Amsterdam Arena..

Andre Hazes always in our hearts ,for ever!

58000 people in the stadium + the people in the field! largest funeral in Dutch history!

it was in the ajax soccer stadium ,around 50.000 people,his coffin was there in the middle

All I want to say is... When someone has had a lot of meaning for many Dutch people. This is how we in The Netherlands express our love and appreciation for the person who's no longer among us, but whom we'll never forget... but always remember 💖

I was there with my nephew. I will never forget how beautifull it was. So much sadness and love at one place. If you want to see a good old live performance of André Hazes, look up "André Hazes live in het concertgebouw Amsterdam 1982" in YT. :)

beautiful salute to an national icon, much much respect.

very special that so many people sing for him together and commemorate him. such a special person

Goosebumps all over again. Great reaction again mate. having a hard time holding my tears. Shed a lot of tears that day already.

This is just 1 song from a 2hours 40 minutes farewell concert... named "Andre Thank you" funeral

This was amazing and still give me goosebumps.. it was live on TV and will never forget.. 😁

i get fcking goosebumbs.. of thiss.. ANDRE YOU WAS THE BEST!! nr 1 dutch song specialist

still goosebumps, he was loved by many in holland, my foster father was allso buried to this song

Sounds beautiful I have meet this singer as well very kind man and beautiful voice

Your reaction is always so precious🙏🏻👍🏻 !! Love your channel ( obviously I am Dutch)

❤🙏goosebumps!

This became an annual event, Heel Holland zingt Hazes. A series of concerts where Dutch artists sing songs from Andre Hazes. This particular song is the dutch version of She Believes in me and was Andre's last hit

What Andre Hazes is to the Dutch, is what Frank Sinatra to the Americans.

You say it totally correct! Xander have done even a duet with André Hazes (senior) if i am correct.

I still remember watching this live on tv

It was very emotional!

Still makes me cry. 😢 He was a legend

Thank you for this! It brings back fond memories. And shivers down the spine. You are amazed by the amount of people present. Well, not needed, but let me add some: In total there was room for 50,000 visitors in the ArenA. The people who couldn't get a seat stood outside the stadium around large screens showing the farewells. The tribute was also broadcast live on TV and Radio. Radio I don't know, but 5.047,000 people watched the broadcast live on TV.

We watched it live on tv , we where crying the whole ceremony.

Still makes me cry and i am from belguim

I was here in the arena at that moment 💪🏻

It's funny, i know this song from start to end, but seeing the live version and you reacting to it, it brings a tear to my eyes even though normally i don't get emotional by it anymore. It's because someone who doesn't even know the language can understand the feeling the song brings and feel the mood that the audience is going through. Props my dude, love from the Netherlands

I was there, it was amazing.

There is a whole video of that concert from André Hazes..you must see that sooo beautiful and all the people are got free there you can Go over there for free. The best singer that the netherlands have 🥀🙏🏼🥀

Even now…. Tears!!!😢😢😢

As a Dutchy I never liked Dutch music (or Dutch language music). 1 reason for me to leave The Netherlands. For Andre Hazes I made an exception. His music spoke for itself and we could all relate to it. First time seeing it, I didnt watch it on TV. Thank you for this.

We miss you Andre 💖

I think every Dutch person has some feelings with one of his songs, I dont know a single person that doesn't lol. And as many artists say: "Hazes is de basis" but I think I probably said that before 🤔😅

perhaps you remember this song from Kenny Rogers "she believes in me" Andre Hazes wrote dutch lyrics on it and this song became huge for 40 years or so.

The woman who performes the hilarious japanese Ushi is also in the crowd 2:59 where you made an episode with Donny Osmond. So famous was Andre Hazes.

I love andre hazes he is a hero

I was there….very emotional

i never forget this night ,i was in phuket (thailand) when andre hazes died,i wanna go there to but it was not possible

Love your reaction on this video where mostly only dutch people react to, thanks.

did you recognise Wendy van Dijk (Ushi)? She is at 3:17, sitting next to Marco Borsato...

Xander did a great job with this song.

André Hazes, overleed 25 jaar geleden. Zo'n 57000 mensen namen afscheid in het stadion. Waar artiesten zijn nummer zongen. Met André Hazes op de middenstip lag. Nu 25 jaar later, wordt er jaarlijks 2 á 3 shows gegeven. Waar artiesten zijn nummers zingen.

I was there in the arena , very impressive

Was there and it was very intense indeed

He was the greatest singer from the netherlands. Andre Hazes, you have to do a video of him. His funeral was in the Johan Cruijff arena. Back then the name of the stadium was Amsterdam Arena. the home stadium of Ajax Amsterdam the football club. there were 70.000 People in the stadium.

You have to watch the last few seconds also the hole crowd starts singing on its own

Great!

Everyone in Holland whas a freind and a fan of Andre Hazes and we still are . not 1 of the artist can and will compare his self whit Hazes Senior . really no one . haha greets jacco

ANDRE HAZES THE BEST............

Andre hazes wat ‘n ander ook zegt. Do it! I hope you can find it with subtitles. It became my life motto
