Henk Poort - Sound of Silence | Beste Zangers 2019 (REACTION) with my wife 

His duet with Emma Heesters; Vivo per lei, will astound you, and stay with you...

Henk only practiced distortion two times before this show. He did it for Floor. Floor adores Henk from age 12 or something. She is his biggest fan. After Beste Zangers Henk was also a fan of Floor. That is why they now perform together sometimes.

This was a day when they all sang songs that meant something to Floor. You should also check out Rolf Sanchez’s version of Hotel California from this evening as well. It’s amazing ❤️

I dedicate this song to the floor since all the singers sing a song to another, which is why they focus so much on it and the other participants are dazzled. a genius

Seated, quietly , and the power under his control. Truly a master of his craft.

Smoke came off his microfoon. I cann't say it better😂😂😎Vivo per Lei is also a must

this guy could sing a lullaby, and it`s still amazing ^^

This is an amazing version. I absolutely love it ❤️🎤

Vivo per lei next!

Henk was basically one of Floor's main idols and inspirations. She agreed to go on this "reality" show ONLY because Henk was on the show in 2019. The show did get her home country to become aware of her talent. TMK, this was the FIRST time Henk even sang with distortion. If you watch full episode he discusses this. He goes a little metal "for Floor". Its full mutual appreciate between them. Also, after this season much of the band worked with Floor and actual performed with her. The collaborations were so good she worked with them afterwards.

This is being performed for Floor, chosen not because of Simon and Garfunkel but because metal band, Disturbed, covered the song. Disturbed's singer, David Draiman, known for his harsh vocals (though he's a trained singer, having been a cantor in his Jewish school) , sings The Sound of Silence in a similar way, building up to the powerful use of vocal fry as the songs builds toward its crescendo. So this is the connection Henk taps into in relation to Floor. Draiman is, like Henk, a baritone, giving both singers that effortlessly rich vocal tonality.

Henk learned how to use distortion on his voice especially for this song that he sang for Floor. Distortion is a big no-no in the opera world. Another great performance is Emma Heesters singing Floor's song "Strong" for her. Brought tears to everyone's eyes, including mine. This song is very special to Floor. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lGYtFfgQoSQ.html

Here we gooooooooo

Henk Poort is an incredible artist, and now this is hands down my favorite version to this song I've ever heard. If you enjoy this, please do react to Henk Poort and Emma Heesters duet "Vivo Per Lei", also on this Beste Zangers. I guarantee you'll both enjoy it to the fullest. It's absolutely lovely. Thank you so much. Cheers from Canada.

Music is all about emotion and in this episode of beste zangers everyone brought that in all of their songs

One word..... Spectacular

This was Floor's episode. She is sitting next to the host and all the other singers sing either one of her songs or a song (as in this case) that means something to her

Imagine going against everything you've been trained over the past 45 years. Put the distortion in your voice. Just to impress someone you just met. I love Henk face at the end. He gives her that look "hope that didn't suck". The whole time Floor is fangirling out so much.

Was that 3 years ago already? Time flies. It was great to see Floor's reaction. She so loved it, and is a very longtime fan of Henk.

Brillant reaction. Look at Floors face, how proud she is that her great idol Hank performed this song.

Floor was 9 years old when she heard Henk Poort sing in de musical the fantom of the opera. Since tthat day is Henk Poort Floors idol. So when this show invited Floor to come and she heatd Henk was coming to... She said yesssss

Henk sings and you close your eyes and its your father singing to you when you were a child.... that's the feeling

The Version from Disturbed is also very very good. And He is a Metal singer.

Hello from the Netherlands . THE Great Henk Poort has especially for the episode of Floor Jansen and because floor likes the version of dissturpt the best and as a tribute to Floor's metal career Henk Poort learned how to sing with disstorcie in 24 hours especially and only for Her because if you in the opera sings like this you are immediately sent away . maybe I should explain a little bit who Henk Poort is for those who don't know him : Poort is a baritone. He followed a classical singing education at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam. He won the Cristina Deutekom Competition during his singing education. Poort sang at several European opera houses, such as in Ulm en Krefeld.

Poort was a fellow jury member for the music program Una voce particolare. From September 2008 to the end of November 2008 he took part in a theater tour throughout the Netherlands with De 3 Baritones (Marco Bakker, Ernst Daniël Smid and himself). Poort made another theater tour throughout the Netherlands with De 3 Baritons from December 2009 to March 2010. In 2017 Poort was one of the participants of the eighteenth season of the RTL 5 program Expedition Robinson, he fell fourth and finished in 16th place. In 2019 Poort participated in Best Singers, where he took first place in the Dutch iTunes list with his version of “Sound of Silence”. His cover of "Phantom of the Opera", together with Floor Jansen, was also highly successful. Poort has regularly made guest appearances at Floor Jansen's shows since 2019, including at Pinkpop in 2022. In 2021 they recorded the song Dangerous Game together, from the musical Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde. Poort has been married to his partner Marjolein Keuning since 1993. They have two daughters together.

An also impressive song is Henk Poort & Emma Heesters (Hay-sturs) *_"Vivo Per Lei"_* : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OumZnDaQINo.html (from Beste Zangers)

Next from Henk try song called Noelia... In Spanish 😉

Hello friends, Henk sing with Floor at her Soloshows, and Floor sing with him at his Show. (Ok Vilja Lied, she sings alone).

And that all sitting down! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

I've said this before but Henk Poort is my favorite male metal singer. Though this song wasnt metal but it kinda was :D

Floor has been a serious fangirl for Henk for most of her life. Singing with him was a dream for her.

You have to listen to the disturbed version of the sound of silence, recorded at conan o’briens. Pure beauty!

A beautiful rendition of this iconic song by Simon and Garfunkel, they would be so proud. David from the heavy metal band Disturbed sings this song and his rendition is EPIC !!! I would put this up with David's. So beautifully done. 💞💕💌💟💝🧡🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘

Chills from start to finish, every time❣️

Your a great couple to watch , with verry nice comments /reaction ! thnx .. and greats from the Netherlands ... Floor and Henk - country

Listen to her first performance on beste zangers. Vilja lied. Henk's episode. Nobody knew her. Everyone was blown away.

Funny thing is, that he actually not covering the S&G version of the song, but the cover by Disturbed. Or maybe something in between.

Big thanks for your nice and honest reactions...as already mentioned please react to Henk and Emma Heesters singing Vivo Per Lei or Strong(a song written by Floor) sung by Emma Heesters...both wonderful songs with great emotions

Great reaction. Henk and Floor did two of Floor's songs together on her tour. They are Sweet Curse and Dangerous Game

Floor's version of: "About Love, I Don't Know a Thing" from the same show, is amazing. Written by young Rubin Annik, very personal about when his parent's divorced. It brought tears to Everyone on the couches.

The 2nd of december i am going to his concert, that is only 10 minutes by bicycle from my home! So much looking forward

Henk singing Your Man, from the same show, is also great, and he plays the guitar ! That one is when Ruben Annink is on the couch.

🇬🇧 Norfolk with you ,on this show everyone sings to floor have a look at the others singing for her

Before this starts just wanted to say .. I like you guys. As reactors first .. but also as people. I think you would make for fine neighbors and friends .. which I suppose is as good a complement as any. :)

At about 13 years old Floor's Mother took her to see Henk and Joke de Kruijf in the Dutch version of Phantom of the Opera. Floor was incredibly impressed by this song so when they asked her to go on Beste Zangers and told her Henk was going to be on the show she jumped at the chance to meet her childhood hero. Only 1 other of the singers had ever heard of Floor so when Floor opened the show by singing Vilja Lied for Henk they were all absolutely shocked and amazed. Check out Vilja Lied from Beste Zangers, the faces of the other singers are a joy to behold

When hear this song mke remember movie'sound of silence ,bass voice from henk so good ,know the singers from this channel

You are actually on the right track here!! Floor won a prize in the Netherlands that year, mainly because of her ability to build bridges between the genres. Floor has, from the start of her career, been mixing and working with mixing the techniques from all styles and genres, to get the ultimate results. And her work or progress are very obvious to the listeners. And here, in a little intimate studio with only 6 professional singers, she affects others to blow their boundaries and jump into the deep end - to create the ultimate experience of each song. And here Henk got inspired by Floor in the previous 3 sessions of Beste Zangers - to really throw his professional comfort zone away - and go for something he had never tried/dared to do - using distortion - just to give Floor something back. The result are in my opinion, the greatest version of the song ever. All the others said, during the sessions - after Floor had done a cover of one of their songs - now we have to do it over!. Precisely the same happened in 'Sing meinen song' from this year 2022 - Floor performed some versions that really inspired the others. Comments like: 'This was how the song was supposed to be' - or 'ours are just karaoke versions'!! Floor brings confidence to into people - to jump into the creative track, and evolve. Henk is a brilliant example - Floor and him have done more songs together, because Henk wants to explore his 'rock side'

Henk's face turned alarmingly red, when he started growling 😠😅. Great performance, though. 😎👍

With Henke think more Musical Theater rather than just Opera .. makes more sense that way. I addition . .the other singers .. called him "Uncle Henke"

And that sitting down😊

Your reactions to performances I love bring me such joy! I’m in Missouri US. Music is the universal language. Love you both, like family.

One of the highlights of this night when they were honoring Floor was Emma Heester’s version of Floor’s song Strong. It brought Floor to tears, as she (Floor) had written it about her mother who suffers from constant pain, yet perseveres. Probably the most touching moment in the entire show

I have just seen your reaction to Phantom and now watching this, in a way I feel you should see the longer version, where Henk also tells Floor he is going to sing this song, because it just gives a bit more background information. But either way, you got to see another amazing performance, and I loved watching you enjoy it

Need to do more of this show it's a show singers sing other songs to each other it's very cool need to do the song WINNER is real good keep rocking need to do SHALLOW COVER too

This is my sister on the show too glennis grace with afscheid❤ the same show

I absolutely LOVED your reaction. You are the real deal. This song was singed for her by Henk Poort. We can see that she loved it as well :) If I may recommend one other song from this show, please react to Emma Heesters singing"Strong", by Floor for Floor. It's that Floor made for her mother, who suffers from intense pains and tries to not show it to the kids, always being strong and keeping a positive attitude. It's a must-see performance and Floor's reaction is wonderful. If you want to hear it with the context (I think it's absolutely worth it), here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aCkjtk5tnb0.html

henk was not the first operasinger in the show. in 2017 TANIA KROSS was the first. the show alrays tries to make a mix of different kind of styles. should try tanya in MARGHERITA and get blown away by her duet with TOMMIE CHRISTIAAN singing BARCELONA. in 2018 operasinger MARIA FISELIER was on the show. try her in IL MONDO and get blown away by her singing/rapping LOSE YOURSELF (yes , a eminem cover)

Henk sings some opera but he is more known for the musicals. The Phantom of the Opera is actually a musical.

Maybe also listen to Hemk singing Noella.

If you don't hear disturbed sing this live on the Conan show you haven't heard the best version

The whole series was fantastic . You dont need to react but watch each full episode. At the start Floor was unknown to Holland and all but one of the singers. Now Floor is a dutch superstar and in fact this weekend is singing the national anthem at the F1 race (Dutch Grand Prix)

Vivo per lei next please

as always enjoyed your reaction, from Colorado. lots better than the pop disturbed version, but think original artists version best since has been around for over 50 years.

You should really check out Disturbed doing this song. Their version is for me the best cover of this song

I must say there are a few good versions of this great song out there. For me Disturbed’s version with lead singer David Draiman is probably the finest cover version of any song ever. In fact so good the original writer said this was David’s song from now on. Can’t get better than that and definitely worth a listen.

This version of Sound of Silence is very good, try to watch the 2016 cover of the group called Disturbed I think you will change your mind.

En there he sitting to sing a song 🙏

🤗🍒👍🏻

Please, "Vivo Per Lei" by Henk Poort and Emma Heesters!

Have you hear this version from Disturbed at Conan OBrian this is absolut epic for me ! Greatings and love from germany ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

You really should listen to Floor Jansen and Henk Poort doing “Sweet Curse”, in my ears so much better than this great performance. And you both, the best

Try Jarkko Ahola live show Queen cover Who Wants To Live Forever, Jarkko is another reality good Dutch singer or he is from Finland, I’m not sure,but was in a band with Marco Hietela called The Northern Kings, awesome thanks requesting 😎

Well It is a good copy Of DISTURBED WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE BEST VERSION

Great Henk! The truth is that Opera singers can sing everything they want and how but they CANNOT do it often because the lyric technique can be ruined!

Please react to Tommy Johansson and his cower of The sound of silence Tommy is the leadguitarist in Sabaton He have his own youtubechannel with a lot amacing cowers and also his own stuff He is also the guy behind the music of a lot of Floors cowers He is an multiinstrumentalist and play all the instrument himself He voice is amacing and the range is cracy

please react to Massada- Latin Dance

Please react to Barcelona Gipsy Klezmer Orchestra- Djelem Djelem

Everyone went nuts when the Disturbed did this song. Henk sings it so much better.
