Henk Poort - Sound of Silence | Beste Zangers 2019 [REACTION] 

And Henk just sat there and performed the song like that! - Samantha Steenwijk (the older blond woman) said that when he started the song with such a low voice, they could feel their chairs vibrating.

It isn't only tragic that Floor isn't known as well as she should be in the Netherlands (her home country) but equally tragic that Henk Poort isn't well known worldwide for his incredible talent either. Beste Zangers 2019 was AMAZING! Well worth a whole playlist.

To think about going against 40+ years of training and everything you know. To sing a song for someone you only met a few weeks ago. In a style that is totally foreign to you. An you only learned for that person. Then give that "hope it didn't suck" face at the end. That's what respect looks like.

A definitely need to see is Henk Poort in duet with Emma Heesters, the young blonde girl on the couch. The song is called 'Vivo per lei', originally sung by Andrea Bochelli and GIorgia, Emma is a RU-vidr who does covers and has a whopping 3.9 million subscribers. It was her first big gig on TV (if I'm not wrong) but she nailed all her performances. She sung a song by and for Floor Jansen, called "Strong". Floor's mother has a Rheumatic disease with daily pains and still she keeps on smiling and she keeps "strong". And Emma's mom recovered from cancer, so she could relate to the song.

Did you notice that Henk never sings with a earpiece in? That’s some pro shit right there

Floor was fangirling so hard. lol. She loves Henk Poort since she was a little girl.

He is 70…. Great singer

If you're gonna watch the whole season, you gonna need several boxes of tissues. This show knows how to 'play' with people's emotions. Cause the artists choose songs for each other that often have a personal meaning behind it. I like that it's not a competition. It's more like a celebration of each other, as artists. They spend time together on the island of Ibiza, where the show is filmed. So they really get to know each other in that time. That 2019 season will suck you right in and you'll start to love every one of em.

This song he did for Floor. To honor her he used distortion for the first time in his life. As an opera singer this was a big nono.

this happens when a master sings a masterpiece

I love the way Henk sings this with all the passion inside him to make Floor proud. And damn did he deliver. Incredible touching performance

Amazing, a professional tenor vocalist singing with growls, absolutely forbidden in the classical opera world. Henk Poort risked in 2019 with this performance of this song the end of his classical opera career.

Floor has been a Fan-Girl of Henk since she was like 13 years old .. and he is singing this for her.

Beste Zangers 2021 begins on 2 september with Anneke van Giersbergen and others....

Beautiful..beautiful...Henk is amazing singer...waooo...beauty reaction tanks🔥❤

Him and Floor stared at each other throughout the song

The opening of this show is the introduction of Floor, who nobody knew at that time in The Netherlands!! Check out Vilja lied

He does it so easily. Just casually sitting on a stool, no earpiece/headphones and I've read that he practiced that distortion for only two hours. Singing with that distortion is generally a no-go (or at least very unusual) for opera singers. I also feel like Henk is a passionate singer and doesn't feel the need for fame.

This is Hank doing Disturbed's version of this awesome song . You really need to see that version too.

Loved your reaction. Best part of this show is that its not a contest but professionals singing to eachother and stepping out of their comfort zones. They are allowing themselves to be so vulnarable and they are sharing that with the viewer.

The whole s was amazing

from the Netherlands thanks for the video

Floor sang in five different languages ​​on this show alone. She can do eight in total. You should check out all of these gigs because she's not just a Metal Queen. Nobody knew her on this show. That's why the faces of the other singers are great to look at when Floor shows them what has been ignored all these years in this country. Henk is Floor's great role model since childhood.

It is amazing how each version is not comparable to the next...

Never heard of him before but love him since I watched Beste Zangers because of Floor. He has such a full and soothing deep voice. And he always looked like a proud dad when Floor was singing. My favorite thing was him, a classical singer, listening to a metal singer singing a classical song in her style and just saying: good music is good music. Best statement ever. It doesn't matter which genre as long as it sounds good. So he covered the Disturbed version for her, not the original, and learned how to use distortion just for her. You have to love him. Edit: it sounded like you never heard the Disturbed cover/version before. If that's the case, I highly recommend checking it out. I really like the official music video and I always love the surprise on people's faces when they realize that metal singers can sing like that.

:Listen to his performance from starry starry night in Dutch cold Vincent beautiful!

I still can't get through Floor singing Winner for Tim without bawling heh

For Henk..Hell Yes!!! NWSU

For this small country we have such good singers and that is all live ,even if I am 82 now I am so proud about oure great talents .and I thank you and love you for you because you are not afraid to show you're feelings love from the Netherlands to you from BEP❤🙏🏻😍🍀🌷🇳🇱

Yehhhh Uncle Henk is AMAZING 🎵🎼 THANK YOU ❤️

How sad that Henk Poort isn't well-known, as he is just EXCELLENT! He's probably been singing since he was a youngster, I don't know, might be wrong. Still, he was brilliant!!! xx

All Beste Zangers songs are epic, especially from 2019 and 2018. Some amazing duets as well.

That eyebrow lift, though! My favorite part.

Thats the fantom off the opera.

This is for me the most intence and passionate version of this song! Love your reaction. Always sincere.

I love this song. The emotion u feel, insane.

Please give a listen to dear Mr. President by Tim Akkerman from this show, and They dance alone by Ruben Annink

Few things make the soul vibrate like music.

He sang this song sooo good,absolutely gorgeous sound in his vocals

Beautyful voice

Another song to check out from this show is the duet of Henk and Emma singing vivo per lei

You HAVE to watch Floor sing Gaga's "Shallow" on this show....it is OTHERWORLDLY.

Performing like that sitting down is amazing!!

You should also listens to henk poort your man a country song

@ 3:09 your reaction is so emotional, loved it, you got a heart of gold :-)

Plain and simple… just check out all the songs/singers of the season 2019 of Beste Zangers. Perhaps extra interesting to you, Tim Akkerman singing the Nightwish song “Nemo” for Floor. And thanks for going down this Beste Zangers rabbit hole… Groetjes from The Netherlands

Wicked but beautiful. Powerful

Have you seen Sweet Curse by Floor Jansen and Henk Poort ? An original ReVamp song, from Floor. Epic !

Please react to Henk poort with Emma heesters same show

Great ..that You ..discovered this Dutch tv show ! .... enjoy

maybe you could listen to Maria Fisselier, an opera singer who does "loose yourself" from Eminem. This is from "Beste Zangers 2018.

watch the show with eng. subtitels part 4 the other singers sing for Floor

If you like this , check out Disturbed version of this absolutely out of this world spread the love 💘

An amazing young Dutch singer that I think you will love is Davina Michelle. I’d advise watching her cover version of “Jealous” by Labrinth, or her cover version of Pink’s “What about us”.

so this is an opera guy in 2019 singing Disturbed's cover which was done in 2015?

you have all episode with english subtitles, beste zangers 2019

A nice Version, really 👏👏 But the Version sung by David Draiman /Disturbed i personally find simply priceless 🙌🙌❤️🤘

do a search .. some of the episodes have English subtitles

Hey, can you pls react to the live performance of Davina Michelle singing The Power Of Water at the Eurovision Song Contest this year? Thank you 🙏

Best version EVER!!

I'm sorry my friend But henk poort is called uncle henk after this show Because his loving ,caring and warm hearted character makes him uncle henk for the netherlands Please just call him uncle henl from now on

I really love your reaction. Maybe you can do a reaction to “ davina Michelle” she is really unique. She also was in “beste zangers” a couple of seasons ago

Hi! I love your video’s! Beste zangers is one of the best shows on dutch television. Its been on for i think 11 seasons now, they bring forward artists of every genre of music. Pop artists, rappers, musical stars, youtubers, retired artists, folks singers, you name it: its al there. They all make a personal list of songs that inspires them or is one of their own. They all share their stories, about music but also about personal stuff, the highs and lows of life and each other. Its all about the love for music and having each others back. If you can find them, you should watch all the episodes, its freakin awesome! Here in the Netherlands, we have a band called “Racoon”. Bart is the leadsinger and has such an unique voice! He really makes you understand the emotion of the songs. They did an cover bij “Abel” called “onderweg” you need to see it! I hope there’s a version with subtitles somewhere. So if you want more dutch stuff: Racoon - onderweg!

Also from this show, Floor jansen with Shallow ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M68pe4a_9zk.html 👌🏻

❤

Intense.

Oooooow yeah boiii

Anybody else gets some Evangeline Lily / Tauriel vibes from Floor here ? 😄

And without Autotune!

Highly Combustable. Check A duo from Holland. Nick and Simon. They play Simon and Garfunkle song so great.

I don't think you have reacted to Samantha Steenwijk (the blond woman on the couch) She has a beautiful voice. React to some of the songs she preformed on this show (Beste zangers 2019). Recommendation: - Samantha Steenwijk - geloof in jezelf (She sang to Emma Heester) - Samantha Steenwijk - Ik ben altijd dicht bij jou (She sang to Floor Jansen)

🥰

The A in zAngers is like the A at the end of operA. The same for jAnsen.

Can we please do a comparison of Henk and Damion to see who signs it better??? I loved bothed of them so I want to hear the two of them together to make up my mind... I then probably can’t...

Henk and Emma duet, Henk and Emma duet, Henk and Emma duet, Henk and Emma duet, Henk and Emma duet, Henk and Emma duet, ............did I mention you need to do the Henk and Emma duet!!!!!!

Conan O’Brien show would be the next one to listen too...

Please your reaction "Vivo per lei " Maan & Nick

Highly recommendable, the young Dutch star Amira! The song I love most is Gabriella's Song from the movie As it is in Heaven:-) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m5unawKpysw.html

@Highly Combustible Reacts I’ve noticed you’re somewhat of a musical fan. Did you know the Beste Zangers also had a show devoted to musical? One of the singers in that show you already know, it’s Emma Heesters. But there’s also Thomas Berge, which is one of the best male singers in the Netherlands. He’s singing Where Is Love, from Oliver Twist. You just have to react to it, what a great rendition of the song, that was sung by Oliver in the movie in a shy and timid way. Thomas goes all out, really awesome performance. Check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DCmS81ynDhM.html

Hm kinda cool, really, but I prefer the version of DISTURBED

Hello my friend great reaction thanks.. Please check out the new Beste zangers van Nederland 2023...there are already 2 chapters played...thank you. Have a wonderful weekend

zoek eens naar;

Yo yo mate, can i chat on the discord chat box ? If you can give me a link that will be great , greetings from the netherlands , im Maurice 34 years old.🙋🏻‍♂️

A bad version cover/copy of Disturbed cover of this song! Good attempt maybe, but no, sorry! A bad copy! You need to see Disturbed's cover (Official audio, preferably then a live in concert version).
