INSTANT CHILLS!!! Henk Poort - Sound of Silence | Beste Zangers 2019 Reaction. Jimmy's World. 

Ist is the only „Sound of Silence“ that give me goosebumps. The best one, for me!

I fucking love Henk. And the fact he was singing this for Floor who was totally fangirling out on the couch, makes it even better.

This clip, including the commentary both before and after the performance is available on jenniezelf's channel. You should watch that. Henk sang this for Floor, as it was her turn on the center couch. He stated that he was going to sing it, but sing the Disturbed arrangement of the song, and that for an opera singer, you'd be fired immediately if you were to use distortion in a performance. It's a huge no-no. But he learned how to use it, within an hour, to perform this for Floor. So as you know, this was done in the same season of Beste Zangers that Floor was on. With that, you should react to both Floor and Henk singing Phantom of the Opera, from that same season. If I remember correctly, theirs was the final performance for that season of show. As you've reacted to Nightwish singing it, you'll definitely enjoy that one.

He was the lead in the Dutch production of the musical Phantom of the Opera back in the early '90s and also sings opera and classical music "art songs". This is out of his wheelhouse and he created that raspy tone just for Floor. Floor does the Phantom duet with him in the show finale and it's pretty freaking amazing. If you're interested in the episode where Floor is in the "hot seat" (which this performance is from) my favourites are Rolf Sanchez doing Hotel California for her (a favourite of her dad's that she shares) and he does a kickin', latin-infused version that is delightful, Tim Akkerman doing an up-tempo punky pop/rock version of Nightwish's "Nemo" that's fun (but odd), Samantha Steenwijk doing a translated into Dutch version of Nightwish's "Our Decades in the Sun" [Ik ben altijd dicht bij jou] (she is so nervous about it as it's also way out of her wheelhouse, she's famous for popular/folky, Dutch pub-style songs normally ["Mama" - the song Floor sang, was hers] and REALLY wanted to do it well for Floor and she does an awesome job of it), and Emma Heesters doing a song Floor wrote when she was with After Forever: "Strong" (about Floor's mother suffering from rheumatism, you get to see Floor melt into a puddle - like she does to everyone who listens to her sing... Revenge!). Ruben Annink also sings a Sting song for her which is pretty good (but I'm not a fan of Sting's style of music) and does a nice job of it. I have to say I love that you're watching the versions with the banter before & after to put the performances into context. It's an amazing show!

you should also watch Henk Poort and Floor Jansen Phantom of the opera, also from Beste Zangers

An opera singer that does growling....big NO-NO and yet he pulls it off like a BOSS As a suggestion: Rolf Sanchez - Hotel California also from Beste Zangers 2019

Hi Jimmy, Thanks again for a great reaction! Henk is beyond great :). Try the Beste Zangers duet he did with Emaa Heesters, "Vivo per lei", an Andrea Bocelli song. You'll love it :). Kindest regards, Wim

Jimmy! You’re pronunciation of the words Beste Zangers in Dutch is perfect!

Henk Poort was The Dutch Phantom from 93 to 96 . you must watch Floor Jansen NL (Nightwish) en Henk Poort NL met The Phantom of the opera in beste zangers 2019

Check his "Vivo per Lei" duet with Emma Heesters!

Henk Poort learned to use destortion to be able to do this. He is an opera / musical / classical singer. This is totally out of his comfort zone. And take in mind his age. His distortion is not that smooth (yet? ), but who cares !

This whole episode is great. It’s Floor’s showcase episode where the other singers sing for her.

I enjoyed your comment and you are totally right!!!! No words to add

Remember that he is doing this entire song sitting down, without raising his shoulders... That takes some effort.

And all that sitting down! 😳 soooo good! 👍🏻

Our Floor had a Poortgasm Love from Those Netherlands

Just keep on watching Beste Zangers 2019 episodes. The "Grand Finale" (in my opinion, but also kudos for the other singers and the band) would be something to your liking, I think. Henk is involved.

Yep, you must only see in Floors face. Henk is soo good

Just doing this sitting on a barstool

Henk is a BOSS!!

The arrangement is the Disturbed version, honestly I still prefer David's voice here but Henk did a great job specially considering he added distortion for the first time, normally he doesn't sing like that in opera or musicals.

Check out Vivo Per Lei by Henk Poort and Emma Hesters on Beste Zangers, it's incredible

Jimmy neatron
