Floor was (and is!!) one of Henk's biggest admirers/fans, and she was so proud she could first convince him, and second teach him, how to sing with distortion..., 'cause as you know, this kind of singing is a very, very big no-no in Henk's classical circles... Great job!
Floor sav him perform on stage as a young teen. She has been a big fan of him since. He was the dutch ( netherlands ) Phantom of the opera. According to Andrew Lioyd Webber he was the Best Phantom he had heared. Henk sings both Opera and Operetta
Henk Poort is a very well known international singer and the hero of Floor. You did hear why. As you problebly know singing with distortion as a classical singer is like cursing in the church. But this was the first time he did growling. Specially for Floor. And this is the best version of the song since times. Here in The Netherlands we are blessed with some fantastic singers. Floor Jansen, Simone Simons, Charlotte Wessels, Glennis Grace (just has the same voice as Whitney Housten, people say she is the reincarnation of her), Anneke van Giersbergen, Zora Cock, Lisette van den Berg, go on and on and on.
I promise to only say this once again and never again. Vivo per lei Henk and Emma is a must. Regardless I continue to enjoy your reactions, comments, banter just everything about this channel.
During Lockdown Henk and Floor did a duet of Dangerous Game from the stage show Jekkyl and Hyde. You can find it on Floor's RU-vid channel. Brilliant bearing in mind they were hundreds of miles apart at the time. p.s., The reason Floor wasn't so well known in the Netherlands is because of what is played on Radio. In Finland Metal is regularly on the Radio. in the Netherlands virtually never. The metalheads always knew her.
Oh yes, Floor loves him ! She invited him for her solo tour and they were both amazing on stage ! Seeing them just 2 meters away performing "Phantom of the Opera" back in february 2020 was an unforgettable experience 🤩
@@SueSueandthewolfman Yes I did, and 2 of our fabulous friends secretely organized an interview with Floor before the show, we gave her some presents and a gift for her daughter's birthday, took a picture with her, then we went to the main stage room at the very first row, standing at her feet 😍 And last year I saw her again at the show that has been professionally recorded, and from which she releases some videos from time to time
Yes, henk doing again Great and youre reactions top it for me😀, beste zangers is great , henk with Emma singing Vivo per lei and more great songs from the artists in this show, thnxxx
Imagine going against 45 years of training. Just in a attempt to empress someone you just met. Henk face at the end, "Hope that didn't suck". He said "it was one of most nervous he's been in a long time".
Floor has been a big fan of Henk’s since she saw him in Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables…and agreed to do the show when she heard he was going to be a participant. He also duets on Floor on one of her solo songs…Dangerous Game. That one is worth a listen, too. Oh…and Suesue…good hair day! 😊☮️
The Floor and Henk duet sweet curse from the Floor Jansen live in Amsterdan concert is fantastic. My favorit Floor song ever. She wrote this song back in the Revamp days. Henk does a great job in the song. After beste zangers Floor and Henk are verry good friends
you can listen to every single song henk did on that show, they are all amazing. noelia and vivo per lei are also outstanding. even the country song is great. cowboy henk 🤣
Amazing rendition of this song, I love how Hank learned to sing with distortion just for Floor. You should check out their cover of the song Dangerous Game from Jekyll and Hyde musical, their chemistry in that song is fantastic. While we're at the Sound of Silence, you should also check out Tommy Johansson's cover of that song, totally different feel because he did it as a tribute to friend who passed away
My compatriot was off the radar for a long time. Became known about 30 years ago,wasn't a fan because i don't like musicals. He wasn't in a cave but it seems he was singing abroad in opera's and doing other projects. Participating in that program brought him back in the spotlights and how? His participations showed what an excellent singer he is. Could have been a rocksinger as well. It seems Floor Jansen wanted him on that programm and those two titans made the 2019 edition the best ever.
Hello lovely people!! The more you react the more funnier you get! Love that. It's always such a joy to see the both of you enjoy good music! So glad you started this channel! Lots of love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱💚
Imagine the impact Floor had made on Henk, to get him to learn distortion and a metal version of a ballad - just to surprise her!!! He succeeded big time, and this version of the song - if you play it against the Disturbed version - Henk's voice are superb and at least equal to the Disturbed version - in my opinion.
Thanks for reacting to this song. I've heard it numerous times and still gives me chills. Henk has an amazing voice. Can you please also react to Henk's duet with Emma Heesters, Vivo Per Lei from Beste Zangers? It is also amazing. Keep up the good work!
Great reaction as always but if you want to see more of what happens before and after the song, look at Daily motion and search for " Beste zangers 2019" you will find all the episodes with English subtitles. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I'm lazy and I don't want to read the comments below me because I already know what everyone's going to say LOL but he was singing this song for her I believe this was one of floors songs that her father used to sing to her........ She more or less kind of idolized Henk when she was growing up and now they are touring together so it's just magical.
Henk sang this directly to Floor because it was her episode to be performed for....and Henk learned to do distortion specifically for this performance, and I think THAT blew Floor away. He said in the after discussions that, as an opera singer, distortion in the voice is always a big no-no, and if you did it they would say, "Next!" and pass on you.
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
I can't remember who it was (I'm sure someone will post it here now) but someone posted on RU-vid this season of the show with English subtitles. It is well worth searching to find them if they are still up. I find this show amazing as I am sure it would never catch on here in the States as it isn't a competition. it is just a collections of singers from different genres taking turns paying tribute to each other. They highlight one person per episode and sing a song of theirs or a song that means something to them. To hear them speak about each other the way they do is pretty incredible.
This one is several notches better than the Disturbed version, in my opinion. Henk has performed with Floor at all her solo concerts. "Dangerous Game" is another great duet they do from the musical Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. I believe Henk is still scheduled to perform with Nightwish in November. I hope the concert is professionally filmed. Tuomas may have Henk sing a couple Nightwish songs as well for that specific concert. The prospects are exiting to think about. Much love to my favorite Skunk Puppets. Have a great day.. 🙂
There is this nice thing just before his performance (I have seen it in the version of the show with subtitles) when Floor said to him - „You're Henk Poort. You can sing anything.” We have this opinion about Floor and she thinks this about Henk. :)
Awesome guys! - SueSue, you should have saved the glowing moon for the Shoemaker tribute girl! - Wolfman that Critter you hold up is a dead ringer for you, great choice bro 😀😀😉
I know everybody will request Vivo per lei with Emma Heesters (which is absolutely fantastic) but one of the highlights with Henk for me was his performance of Noelia for Rolf, so emotional and powerful at the same time. So if you find time and opportunity ....
@@SueSueandthewolfman I would pick the version from Floor's live in Amsterdam concert Suesue. The other one is a recording where Floor and Henk were not in the same room due to covid.
This was Floor's episode, so Henk is singing this for her. They have worked together since on her solo shows and she on his. They also collaborated on another duet, from the musical version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The other singers are getting into this too, I don't get any sense of disinterest from them.
The show takes 7 singers from different genres and put them together. In every episode one will be placed central and others will sing a song for him/her that has a meaning, in this episode Floor was put central.. That can be fun but also emotional. In the show they do talk about what is so special and other life experiences. The 8th episode is the fun duet where each singer has to choose one of the others to sing a duet, Floor did in total 3 duets that season final episode. Because there are singers from different genres they have to step out their own musical comfort zone or change a song within their comfort zone, Henk did step out but showed he can do it all You can find the clips with the talking up to full episodes with english subs on the youtube channel of paul h.
Hi...thx for your reaction...Henk`s version of SoS is absolutely wonderful...looking forward to see Floor in September in Hertme Nl and hope Henk will be there too....👍
They are all singers and doing each others songs. Of course Floor is a fan of Henk, and the reason she's joined this show. And the amazing Henk Visser band on the back ground. Als Floor's band at her first solo show and all the Beste Zangers performances
I knew Henk would catch your eye apart from Floor, and now you chose to see and hear more from him i come with the logical outcome, a suggestion or three ;) For another beautiful duet : "Vivo per lei" with Emma Heesters, for a little country Henk/Hank : "Your man", and for a little Latin Henk/Henrique "Despacito" (trust me, its far better than the original song) Ty for the lovely reaction, keep exploring :D
Henke 's a phenomenon like Floor. No wonder Floor is a fangirl. If there's anything of the room left intact after today's video, or if you rebuild it by tomorrow after the demolition session, see you tomorrow!
Nice reaction 👍🏻 Please check out the song 'Power' (live, A Sunday Night above the rain) by Marillion, you'll love it ❤️. It is an awesome band that is very underrated and which deserves more appreciation, imho!! Or if you love long songs, check out their song 'Gaza' (live)!!!
I FOUND THE RAMMSTEIN PERFORMANCE... that has Flake crowd surfing in a dinghy! Sorry I dont know the link... just pull up: Rammstein Haifisch live Rock am Ring 2010, Full HD 1080p.
Do also amazing Henk Poort's *_"Your Man"_* (also from Beste Zangers), a cover of Josh Turner's country song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wLjqFFUJeSI.html&ab_channel=AVROTROS
Indeed an awesome performance of Henk Poort. I see Wolfman is a fan of The Beatles (T-shirt). Because of the crazy sounds they produce? You should check the Dutch coverband The Analogues. They have giving concerts in the UK. Diehard fans of The Beatles having tears in their eyes. Listen for you self e.g. the song ''A day in the life'' --> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sCbZ15JpxPg.html
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OumZnDaQINo.html This is a great duet of Henk Poort and Emma Heesters in the beste zangers. Vivo per lei
I love this song. And although I never heard of this Henk Porte, he has a great voice. But to be honest, his interpretation of Simon and Garfunkel's master piece reminds me of David Draiman's version, which I like even better. I am not sure if you are aware of his version, but if not please check out his live performance at Conan's show from 2016. ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bk7RVw3I8eg.html )
Sorry , but this is not a god version, sorry, listen the version from "Disturbed"! link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bk7RVw3I8eg.html! Henk Poort has a classical Trained Voice, but his range it is only ok. I now a sanger,he is classical and contemporary vocal training and has the master in both. His range is over 7 octaves. Look for tha song "Olympico" by Igor Krutoy and sing by Dimash!
Peter We love Disturbed’s version of it and we were floored (no pun intended) by it. They have now overplayed it so much I can’t listen to it. I felt like this version was a breath of fresh air. His voice is classically trained as you can tell but we really did love. I’m not sure that for us one is better than the other. We loved them both and the original by Simon and Garfunkel Thanks again for being here Peter We appreciate you!!
