Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019 | REACTION 

We assumed it was nightwish doing the music however if we are wrong please do correct us, we are trying to do very little research outside of the many comments. Thank you! Feel free to join our discord in the description above.

Henk Port was the Phantom in the Netherlands and the most prefered Phantom by Adrew Lloyd Webber!

All of Floor's performances on that show are jaw droppers. She really can sing anything! I mean she did Shallow ... and way better than Lady Gaga!

Floor grew up as a huge fan of Henk's..........he did the distortion just for her!!!!

This is Nightwish's arrangement and they have recorded and played "Phantom" also live. You are absolutely right. If you want to perform "Phantom" in public, you have to be a good singer. Floor's talents you already know, but Henk Poort is a very seasoned Dutch baritone who has played "Eric's" role in Phantom's Dutch production for hundreds of times. This duet is excellent. Great singing and acting from both of these vocal titans. Thank you!

Actually the end note is a D6 for 8 seconds

As others have said, that was a D6. She has hit E6s and F6s live and according to the pitch analyzer on my phone, there's a brief Gb6 at the end of "Noise". It also records her singing clean down to an A2 and growling down to a C2.

Backstory on Phantom of the Opera. Nightwish first covered it in 2002, on their album "Century Child". It is this arrangement that the band here is playing. Nightwish also famously played it live at the "End of an Era" show in 2004, which was the final appearance of their original singer, Tarja Turunen, with the band. They play the same arrangement of the song there as well, albeit with a slower intro. Back to Beste Zangers. First and foremost, this show IS NOT A COMPETITION. This show is about getting the most popular singers in the Netherlands together, get to know each other through their tastes, loves, and music. Each singer is spotlighted (sitting on the center couch), while the others sing songs that they wrote or has deep meaning to them. What caught everyone's eye about this season, was that Floor Jansen, as huge as she is around the world, was unknown in her home country. only one other singer knew of her in passing, and that was it. If you want to go down this route, which I think you should, find the episodes of this show or clips of this show on the channel of RU-vid user "jenniezelf". She has transcribed these to where they have English subtitles, that way you can see the conversations both before and after the performance. Now, back to this performance. Henk Poort played the Phantom in the Dutch theater production of Phantom of the Opera. In fact, Andrew Lloyd Webber (who created the musical) stated that out of all of the people who played the Phantom, Henk was his favorite. He is operatically trained, as you can tell. Floor couldn't pass up the chance to sing this song with him, so she asked, and he agreed, on the condition that he could perform this with Nightwish when they tour the Netherlands. That show is still on their schedule for their next tour.

I think you will also enjoy Epica with Sancta Terra live, featuring Floor, operatic vocals from simone and floor together with some insane metal, not to mension the whole orchestra and choir. In the same show Floor and Simone sang ‘stabat dolor matarosa’ (not sure I wrote that correctly but surely someone in the army will post a link for you...) a classical operatic piece that got the complete crowd of metalheads silent 🤗

If you want to hear her singing even higher, go to "SHOEMAKER" from NW' latest album "Human : Nature"

The music was from the Marcel Fisher band and Henk was playing the rol of Eric in the Dutch phantom in 199?. Floor was a big fan of him, she ask him for this duet, he agreed only if he can sing it with her and Nightwish at the concer they planned in October in Amsterdam. This concert is now replaced, because of Covid to may next year.

It was not B5 but D6 for 8!! Seconds!!! And october 18th i am going to the concert from Floor Jansen and Henk Poort over here in Amsterdam! 😀🙏

Great reaction! Now you must react to the actual Nightwish version of Phantom with their original vocalist Tarja. You won't be disappointed! 8X Nation!

His name is Henk Poort , he was the phantom in the netherlands and the favorit phantom from Andrew Loyd Webber .

Nightwish do Phantom and, after this TV show Henk Poort joined them live in a couple of concerts to do it. Floor did have classical training and was a voice coach, but she was also in a metal band at 14.

🤘🤘❤🤘🤘😁✌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Oh excellent y'all found this!!!! Fantastic!!

Queen to D6 for 8 seconds - checkmate. P.S. I think the highest live note for this song is E6 by Sierra Boggess. The highest live note by Floor is still F6 in "Romanticide" at Ilosaarirock 2013 in Finland.

Music was played by studio band (probably it was Tuomas version adapted for studio) and all kudos to them - they did masterful stretching to every music genres they played in that show! I've read this comment from few reactions page and it's so great I'll pass it on: "Queen to D6 - check mate" 😀

Floor did another cover song "Euphoria" She is also a vocal coach. Listen to more of her old bands like Afterforever and Revamp. She also did a cover song for the game Final Fantasy. You can also listen to a opera song. She did a cover of O mio Babbino....

It seems to not be mentioned as much, but Phantom of the Opera was actually a novel written by Gaston Leroux, back in 1909. It is based on some true and some legendary events from the Paris Opera, that occurred or were said to have occurred in the 19th century. It has been adapted many times and in fact there are one or two good movie versions of it. It returned to big time form when Andrew Lloyd Webber adapted it as a rock opera. Also and Im just saying this because a lot of people seem to have become aware of opera and classic since this performance, which is good, Floor does not sing it Opera style, she sings it classical style (as opposed to rock, pop, musical etc). The term Opera does not denote a particular type of singing per se. Opera basically means a theater event where it is entirely musical and all "spoken parts" are sung, either as words to verse (think how rap music is) or as actual singing). As others mention, Henk is legendary for his portrayal of the Phantom in the Dutch PotO. Also, Floor grew up as a Henk fanboy and being on the show with him is one of her chief motivations for doing it. The show is really good. Almost all the performances were. And Floor mesmerized them from the beginning. They had no idea what they were going to get hit with when she opened her mouth in the first episode to sing Villa Lied for Henk. You should at least react to every song Henk and Floor did on the show, plus look for TIm's Nemo cover. The Phantom of the Opera was the final performance of the show and the cast anticipated it all week once they knew what Floor could do. Henk's one condition...that he get to perform the song with Nightwish, whih Tuomas leapt at. Henk will be doing a couple of performances with Nightwish in Europe next year.

You should definitely react to Nightwishe's version of phantom of the opera in The End of an Era with their former singer Tarja Turunen. Impressive

Henk is Floor's hero and ALW's favourite Phantom. Nuff said.

As much as I love and adore Floor Jansen and her vocal abilities, you have to experience Nightwish with Tarja Turunen (and the inimitable Marco Hietala) on vocals performing 'Phantom of the Opera', it is simply spellbinding.

You have an opportunity here to compare Floor's performance with that of Tarja Turunen, Nightwish's original singer. In the "End Of An Era" video, Tarja performs this as a duet with Marko. Marko's vocals aren't nearly as controlled as Henk Poort's, but he's not an opera singer, so that's to be expected. " . . . the original film from 2004" Hmm. The first time 'Phantom' was filmed as a musical was in 1943; and that production was a remake of the original silent film from 1925. Okay, I know you're referring to the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical from 1986, but the source material goes back much further than you might imagine: the original novel was published in 1910.

The original last note for Christine is in D6, Floor hit a D5 but clean as a whistle as always. The difference between Floor and all the other Phantom Christines is that Floor can also, crawl, add grit and gravel and sing songs like Romanticide and Yours is an empty Hope. She is in a league of her own...

That was a D6, held for 8! seconds in her headvoice and Floor wasn't even close to whistle register... B5 is what she can do, in a mixed belt. Henk Poort played the phantom for many years and was ALW's favourite actor/singer in that role.

Floor also did "O mio babbino caro" (Puchini) on a Dutch TV Show. On Nightwish's new album "Human Nature" please check out "Schoemaker"

Floor is an opera soprano, she teaches opera and is a vocal coach. It's definitely "Storytime" Wacken 2013. Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤🤘🤘

"I read in a comment that she can sing a high B5" - she can do a G#5 in mix voice and ended this song on a D6 in headvoice. She can hit an F6, but that's about the limit for her and I don't think she can reliably do it with power, live.

The highest note I've heard and confirmed from Floor was a B6 in a Christmas song. I've linked that song below. I think she has a couple of notes on the newest album that are higher, but I've not yet confirmed them. Oi Joulua (OH Holy Night) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ym1Wc5dmUYc.html

Both Henk and Floor are vocal coaches

Guys! You need to check Shallow version from Beste Zangers by Floor, instant tears bro! Legit!

You's should check out Sancta Terra by Epic ft. Floor. A great composition!!

You should react to Floor singing O Mio Babbino Caro

Henk Poort is THE Dutch Phantom legend...and Floor is his biggest fan 🇳🇱🤟🏼🤟🏼

Henk Poort is a Dutch professional opera singer. She reaches a D6 here! Floor had a rock education but also an opera training (not the full study though).

Henk has been the Phantom for over 500 performances in the Netherlands.

And she can growl like 😎🤛⚡🔥

Henk Poort is a Dutch opera singer who also does musical theatre. He was the Phantom in the Dutch version and was one of Andrew Lloyd Webbers favourite Phantoms. Henk learnt how to add distortion to his voice especially for this show and for Floor, he said distortion was a no no for an Opera singer. He agreed to do this duet on condition that next time Nightwish came to the Netherlands he could do the Phantom with Floor on the show.

Check out Phantom of the opera with Nightwish - End of an Era. That is a rock version. With their first singer Tarja. Amazing (official live video)

Hi guys I just subbed I think u guys should have a look at strong floor writes this song about her mom just a heads up floor does get emotional

And Floor can do that every time live on a world tour at every gig in front of thousands and never ever miss a note or beat or anything. And yet so kind and nice and just a person , like anyone in the crowd. Nighwish is more than Floor though. A lot more is at work to create everything we hear. Most amazing band.

Hi, Mettal Maffia! I like your thoughts and every your reaction! Her vocal majesty queen Floor shock the world again with her great voice and I'm very glad of your choice! Best (night)wishes and thanks for intelligent comments!

Now go check out the original Nightwish "Phantom of the Opera." Nightwish had a big life before Floor. Here's Tarya. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tL25rbnvM4o.html

Nice , Have you hear Dark Chest of Wonders yet ? Live at Wacken 2013

Then do Sarah Brightman/Alasandro Safina..."Sarai Qui"..most beautiful in voice and video..unreal ! Check my spelling please..

well if you are into high notes you should definetly check out "dimash kudaibergen" with "an unforgettable day (gakku)". yet if its the first time ever listing to dimash, plz do "sos" and "sinful passion" BEFOR unforgettable day. spoiler: in unforgettable day he hits a D8 whistle.

Hendrikus (Henk) Poort (Amsterdam, January 20, 1956) is a professional Dutch opera and musical singer, as well as an actor. He does perform the regular ‘Phantom of the Opera’ version a hundredth times or more but never the metal version from Nightwish before Beste Zangers. This is the version Tarja and Marco did at ‘End of an Era’ concert with Nightwish. He is known to part of the audience as a musical actor and to other parts of the audience as an opera singer. Few artists make the transition from musical song to opera aria with such ease. It is not known to most of them that Henk Poort is not only a singer, but also an interesting storyteller. On this evening he sings part of his extensive repertoire (musical, operetta, opera and pop) but also plays the role of colorful persons from his past.

You mentioned anything more operatic. If you haven't already reacted to this, it is Floor going full opera, and nailing it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UeTyAZtV5wI.html

floor's highest note is an F6 guys. You can hear that note in several song, like romanticide (the last slide up with Marco) This here is not the highest note she can reach, this one is easy for her.

In the original stage production that last not is an Eb6, so half a step higher.

If you want to hear a guy (yes a guy), even sing higher see dimash kudaibergen. He can sing 7 octave. react to ogni pietra, sinful pasion, sos or love is like a dream.

Yes, you’re right, the original is higher, but my God, what a power! Thank you both for your reaction. 🤍 from Holland

it is a D6 for 8 seconds. Nightwish did a cover too with Tarja Turunen

Lol high B5"....... That was queen to D6.... for 8 seconds.....checkmate

That's a D6 sustained for 8 seconds... not really all that impressive, eh? [/sarcasm]

Sorry if already posted.....to answer your questions....there is a Nightwish version of this with the first singer Tarja.........AS great as that one is....this one is better from at least a singing perspective.....and as much as I love Marko i the Nightwish version....this dude is THE Henk Poort....THE Phantom of the Opera.....Lloyd Webers favorite....this was an idol of Floor's growing up......next, she had 6 years vocal training; Operatic, Show tunes, Rock, etc.

Henk wanted to try something new as he was singing with Floor, so he had her teach him how to add that metal-style to his singing halfway.

The KING \m/... King Diamond- Welcome Home! I'm going to get someone to do a reaction ;)

Yes, but if you sing higher, you can permanently destroy your voice. So...

This was a show about Dutch singers coming together and just singing songs for eachother and with eachother. Floor's Shallow from this show is awesome as well. About Henk, he's the Dutch Phantom. He's almost 70 if I am correct and this was from the last episode were they did duets. Floor is a big fangirl of him so it was a dream come true for her to do this with him. Henk sang the Disturbed version of Sound of Silence during this show, doing some grit with his vocals for the first time ever. Another song worthy of checking out. It's from "Floor's episode" where they sing stuff for her so shes just chilling on the couch gettin her brain blown xD Phantom was a few episodes later so this is the 2nd time he uses grit and he's doin it really well.

In the original they go higher but it is a really short last note. I like this better.

Floor hit the D6 here. The original is an E6. However I know Floor can hit the E6. I’m thinking they’ve drop key perhaps it was more comfortable for Henk. That’s my assumption. Or maybe she didn’t feel well enough to hit it, idk.

Would of been better if you had turned the volume up for your audience.

Henk Poort is a professional Opera singer who played the Phantom in the Dutch version of the "Phantom of the Opera" for many years. He is Floor's inspiration for singing opera as she used to listen to him and way a huge fan in her younger years. That was Floor doing what Floor does.... Hits a D6 and holds it for 8 seconds. No the music is performed by the "house" band, however they did the song Nightwish style as they have already performed that song with previous singer; Tarja, back in late 90s or early 2000s.

Watching a metal kid nerd out to musical theatre. Same, bro.

I hope Nightwish plays this song with Floor sometimes in the future, but I've heard Henk wants to hop in so kinda uncertain how it's all going to play out. Marko could maybe even do gritty harmonies with him. But yeah, definitely check out Nightwish's live version of this.

Dutch TV show where Dutch singers sing each others songs in their style, or songs that have special meanings one of them. This is Henk Port opera guy. Floor as a kid was a fan. She requested they do a duet. He sang "Sounds Of Silence ( Disturbed version ) for her. None of them knew who she was at the start, metal is not popular in Holland, Pop music rules there. Show ratings went through the roof.....They know who she is now ! She sang Lady Gaga's ( and Bradly ) "Shallow". You owe it to yourself to hear it.

Best singer on planet earth, gorgeous, and 6'1"!

Henk Poort was the Phantom of the Opera in the Netherlands

Floor is always been a big fan of Henk Poort fangirl style

Lol, the Phantom movie was so far off from the original.

versatile vocalist, Jansen can sing from ethereal, classical and operatic singing, to powerful belting, and aggressive, raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. She is a soprano. Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. Later, she started teaching ..

Take a look of her vocal range here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SzOQfAmyXqo.html

Floor is a vocal coach and she has had classical training for a few years. She has great technique, can sing just about any style and has a vocal range of about 4 octaves versatile. What makes her stand out the most is that she's true to the music and not to herself. She doesn't mind doing backing vocals or taking on a lower vocal line than her natural soprano and I have yet to see her show off on purpose.

......Oh No....... glasses...... The Meow became a Roar......

Excellent comments guys. You want another epic encounter between a Goddess and the Devil. Do Devil and the deep dark ocean. Buenos Aires live Decade tour. Side note. Floor 'so name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring Flora. Have fun

7:10 min Queen to D6 - CHECKMATE!

This was not Nightwish. Just a group of session musicians for the TV show. Nightwish does perform this song live and it is much heavier. This song was done by the first vocalist, Tarja. She left the band in 2005. There is an epic version of this song from the last show Tarja did with Nightwish. See link. That last note was a D6 for over 8 seconds. I think the original was 1 full step higher, an E6. Floor was a student at The Rock Academy in The Netherlands. She also took operatic and musical theater training as well. Floor also is a vocal coach and has developed a Master Class. No disrespect Dirty D, but LVT is amazingly beautiful. If she is your lady, hold on tight my friend! Stunning! Loved your reaction to this amazing performance. Peace. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I7WlqE6ETBI.html - The Phantom of the Opera - w/ Tarja

To hear a Symphonic Metal cover of Phantom of the opera do Nightwish - Phantom of the opera (live end of an era) Marko plays best pahantom ever In my opinion. Yet it's with the original Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen, she was powerful as well just not as versitile as Floor :)

D6, 7 Seconds

Hank Poort is Andrew Lloyd Webber favourite Phantom. And she can sing, I believe a D6. All hail to the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal

8 seconds on D6 at the end :)

Type F for respect to Gaston Leroux

U must react Marco`s Phantom Of The Opera :D by Nightwish

Please react to sound of silence Henk poort did it in this show to

One of the Original phantoms

If you want Operatic PLEASE react to the best singer in the world, Dimash Kudaibergen. The best Opera song of his to react to is Ogni Pietra that was composed by his now partner Composer Igor Krutoy. Dimash sings in all styles and genres and voice classifications. He has over a 6 octave range, sings in 12 languages, plays7 instruments, composes and directs. If you want to experience his highest note so far react to Unforgettable Day Gakku. He composed the song and Gakku is a music festival where he reached a D8 note that is off the piano.

Fwiw: Floor can hit an F6 for what I have heard. The original PotO (and the Nightwish version) has an E6 as the last high note, but the performers who did the E6 only lasted for 2 a 3 seconds. In this version Floor did go for a D6 for a freaking 8 seconds. There are only a few singers that can do that, but most of them sound thin and over pushed, but Floor's D6 was crystal clear and full of energy. Henk's voice is just mesmerizing. Deep and full, but clear at the same time. And like Floor, he is flexible too in music styles. On the same show he sang "Your Man" like a real country singer or "Sound of Silence" as close as the disturbed version as close as it can get. This duet is a gem though. Speechless...

The thunder from the start was legit that was not man made effects

Henk Poort (the guy singing with Floor) played the phantom in musicals for years. Actually Andrew Lloyd Webber, who wrote "The Phantom of the Opera" seems to have mentioned Henk as the guy who resembles his vision of the phantom the best

She had 2 years of Opera. She was a vocal coach before joining Nightwish. She calls herself a vocal technique nerd. Floor sings O Bambino Cara just by herself and Piano or as theclead singer of Revamp.

Henk is a Dutch opera & musical theater singer, actor, & apparently billiard table maker. He played Erik in the Netherlands for a decade so is very familiar with this song. Fun fact this is only the second time he has sung with distortion. The first time was when he covered Disturbed's version of The Sound of Silence on this show for Floor. The music was the shows house band they did an awesome job on the whole show.

Henk Poort sings Phantom of the Opera on stage in Holland, as well as real Opera performances. The band is just the TV band, but they are really good at all the songs they do in this series - skilled performers.

Floor has opera training she's also been a vocal coach for 15 years, she went to a rock academy and studied musical theater and opera she can basically sing the whole piano she has a 6 octave vocal range

Lots of people left you the backstory, so just a thank you for checking this out. Funny, the day this posted, it nearly broke the reactor community.

She sang a D6 instead of an E6, but big difference is that she had almost no vibrato, if any at all, which they use a lot in the musical singing style and unless I am mistaken, I think this makes it a lot more difficult. But I am no vocal expert, so maybe am wrong.

She hits a D6 here, but from most of the performances I've seen singers tend to go up an E6. Only a whole step down is still pretty damn impressive though

Henk Poort is a trained Baritone Opera singer who alsoo studied in Italy. But he get's cast as a Tenor often.🐱‍👤🎶👍 (Queen to D6)
