Vocal Coach Reacts to Duncan Laurence 'I Do' Beste Zangers 2023 

The song is written by the man who's crying. His name is Douwe Bob. He has anticipated in ESC for the Netherlands in 2016. The singer is Duncan Laurence, who has also anticipated in ESC but in 2019 for the Netherlands and won with "Arcade".

I was already hoping you're going to react to this. Let me explain the concept. They're all singers from the Netherlands. In every episode, one of the singers will be interviewd and the other singers will be singing a song for that person. So they choose a song of that person or they choose a song that means a lot to that person. Duncan was singing 'I do' for Douwe Bob (which is originally a song of Douwe Bob). Maybe you know him from Eurovision, he participated in 2016. So no, it wasn't his boyfriend 😉.

The guy crying is Douwe Bob, the songwriter and original artist of this beautiful song. The Beste Zangers 2019 edition with Floor Jansen in my opinion is still the best, but this season is very promising also!

Daaaayaaamn 😭😭😭😭😭. Thank you so much for sharing I wouldn’t have discovered this without you!

Duncan Laurence is to me one of the best male pop singers at the moment! ❤ This performance is wonderful

It promises to be a great season once again. The singers this year are Douwe Bob (this was his episode, his songs were “covered” by his colleagues Duncan, Meau (young lady with the bangs, singer songwriter), Mel (young lady with the hat, singer songwriter), Numidia (long dark hair, rapper), Nick Schilder (nowadays solo artist, songwriter) and Marko Bakker (baritone, classical singer).

The shape Im in - Numidia, is also from these series and its unbelievably powerful🎙️

The guy Duncan is singing this song to is Douwe Bob (it's Douwe's song). Douwe participated at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "Slow down". He took 11th place in the final.

Duncan is singing Douw Bob's song (He is the guy watching with tears in his eyes). Douwe wrote the song about a hard break up. He wrote the song when he was broken after a hard breakup. crying behind the piano he said. He said the hardest breakup he went through. And Duncan is not Douwe Bob's boyfriend ;-)

The guy who's crying is not his boyfriend, but it's his song, he wrote it 🙂 The concept of the TV-program Beste Zangers is that 8 singers of different ages and different genres come together and then each episode one of them is in the spotlight and then the others perform one of his/her own songs or a song that has a special meaning to them. The guy who's crying is Douwe Bob, he represented the Netherlands at Eurovision in 2016. The song which Duncan is performing her, Douwe wrote it when his girlfriend broke up with him and he poured all his emotions at that moment into this song.

Ohhh I am SO pleased that you have heard this now, I knew you'd love it! The guy is Douwe Bob, not his boyfriend by the way, he wrote the song. Douwe Bob has also been at Eurovision.

This is such a great song by Douwe Bob, who Duncan is singing it to. Check out Douwe's version of Danny Boy in Beste Zangers. Am very curious what you think about that.

Gosh that was beautiful. His voice and those lyrics got me!

In this Dutch televisionseries, Duncan has also sung Elvis' (Tom Jans') Lovin' Arms and Cole Porter's So In Love: incredibly good and touching as well! Go and watch them here on youtube. And more songs yet to come, as the series (Beste Zangers) has 8 episodes.

Beste Zangers has 2 meanings, it can mean the best singers, but here it means Dear Singers. There are 7 singers, in general representing different genres and everyone has a night in "the hot seat", wich means that the other singers are singing a song for him/her. A while before the shows begin each hands in a list of their own songs and songs that are dear to them, so every singer can make a choice wich song they are going to sing, wich is kept a secret until it's sung that night. It is a surprise for the one in the hot seat, so it can be very emotional sometimes when you hear someone else sing a song that is dear to you. So everyone has a night in the hot seat, so that makes 7 shows. There is an 8th show where they sing duets together. Thank you for your reaction, greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🧡

yes!! thank you very much Georgina. I'm glad that you are also so enthusiastic about this beautiful song and this great singer. Thank you for your nice comment. with love from the Netherlands, Han

Hi there! Do you not remember Duncan Lawrence - the winner of ESC 2019? Arcade ... I got addicted to a losing game...?😊 thanks for this reaction, He really is something, isn’t he?

De Beste Zangers (The Best Singers) is a Dutch television program that is broadcast by AVROTROS on NPO 1. Each episode focuses on one singer, for whom each other singer has selected a song to sing. The singers are accompanied by the Marcel Fisser Band. Since 2012, the program has been presented by Jan Smit. Participation in the Best Singers was a turning point in their careers for a number of participants, such as Glennis Grace, André Hazes Jr., Tino Martin, Emma Heesters and Davina Michelle. The Best Singers format can be seen in several countries and is known there as Love for Music (Belgium), Sing meinen Song (Germany) and Toppen af ​​Poppen (Denmark). Spain, Finland, Norway, Estonia, Latvia, Switzerland, France, Sweden and the United Kingdom also have a version of Best Singers.

I've send you this to react to! Back when it first came out on valentinesday, when Douwe recorded it raw after all he had been through, can't find that version anywhere anymore unfortunately... i think it was the best. Was always sad you never picked up on it, but then you get loads of emails so i guess it would take a hundred of the same to get noticed...😅

Thanks for your lovely reaction.....he is awesome!!

This is the best tv show in The Netherlands Check out every singer in this show!

The guy is Douwe Bob and it's his song. That's how de beste zangers work. Artist sing songs every week from one person who is sitting there. ❤

The guy crying is the one whose song this is.. Biggest part of this program is singing each others songs ❤️

Holland has some chuffin Amazing singers. Glennis Grace, Ladies of Soul, O3GNE to name but a few!! I love this series. He was superb ❤ You are amazing 👍😁

Thanks for reacting on this song. I really hope your journey on "De beste zangers" (season 2023) will continue 😊.....greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱👋

Thank you for your lovely reaction! Duncan is singing this song for the guy on the couch who is crying. His name is Douwe Bob and 'I do' is one of his songs. The song is about being/feeling alone after a break-up. Douwe Bob was our entry for Eurovision in 2016 with the song 'slow down' (like Duncan was in 2019 with 'Arcade'), They are not in a relationship though. Douwe Bob is as straight as they come ;-)

The Guy how is crying is Douwe Bob he also represent the netherlands on the eurovision song contest a few years ago this is original his song 😘

This program is about dutch singers who perform each others songs. Duncan sings a song from singer-songwriter Douwe Bob who also was a participant in the Eurovision Songcontest.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭 absolutely beautiful and relevant thank you so much 💖❤😭🥺

It was beautifull. My favourite was Danny Boy from Douwe Bob. He was the one crying. Will you please do that one too? Greetings from NL

This crying guy is Douwe Bob, who represented 🇳🇱 at the Eurovision in 2016 😅

"The guy crying his eyes out" is Douwe Bob, another Dutch singer and the original artist of the song "I Do". In 2016 he represented the Netherlands in ESC. He is not the boyfriend of Duncan, that got married just recently in August, Duncan just touched him performing "his" song I guess.

That show BESTE ZANGERS is Zo good 😊

The format is about a couple of artist singers duo s that are called this years best singers there more edition and it’s about the artist sitting in the circle so each evening it’s broadcasted another singer get another version of his favorite, populair or unpopular song or another song that the artist have strong connection with … meaningful songs … I like it douwe Bob song was I do but Duncan sings it to another level…

Wow!

He is such a good musician and so super nice too! But one can hear that by the way he sings...

The guy on the bench is Douwe Bob the writer of the song

Wow 💖

He sang the song of the guy on the couch, with tattoo, Douwe Bob. No its not his boyfriend.. Love this song! Thx for reacting 🎤🎶💜

The guy who’s crying is Douwe Bob (represented Netherlands at Eurovision in 2016 with Slow down). Duncan is singing his song here. Not his boyfriend though. :)

Duncan Laurence is singing a song from Douwe Bob, who is "the crying guy" in de video. The other people watching are all singers from The Netherlands just like them.

a very good season of Beste Zangers my favorite song till now is Danny Boy song by Douwe Bob

The crying man with the tattoos is Dutch singer Douwe Bob. (Not his BF). Douwe originally sang this song "I Do". Detail: As well Duncan as Douwe both sang for the Netherlands in the Eurovision!

❤❤❤

Please watch Numidia’s cover of Arcade (on Duncan’s cover night on Beste Zangers) It’s sung in Dutch and Berber

All dutch artists. Duncan sung Douwe Bob's song and he was emotional like many because of the performance. Unfortunately I don't know much of the other names in the room.

The guy is Douwe Bob .. also a singer !.. and as You know .. al the other guest on the chauch ...are singers to !

Love your work! I would love to see you reacting to Loreenna McKennitt 😻

They are all Dutch singers, in each episode the other singers perform songs connected to the singer in the middle. No competition, just showing their talent and admiration for their colleagues. Please watch the other versions of previous years.

Both Duncan Laurence and Douwe Bob (who he is singing for) represented the Netherlands in the Eurovision Contest. It's a 'break up song' indeed, Douwe Bob wrote it crying at the piano. Having you thinking that Duncan (who is a married man) is actually the boyfriend of Douwe Bob (who is an engaged man) sure means he knows how to bring a song! BTW during the show he did mention that the whole group fell in love with Douwe Bob a little while being away in Sevilla when recording this show, since he is so likable. Thanks for your thorough analysis and your honest reaction! 💗

🙌🏻

The man you saw whit tears in his eyes is Douwe Bob, he is the writer and original singer of this song. And it is not his boyfriend or lover

Douwe bob

I love you and your comments. But you have the need to "fill in" the lyrics of the songs in Beste Zangers. In thís show people are trying to make their best fór the Headpersons (every week another) a selfmade-song ór a song that is very important for the Headperson. It is nót a competition! It is a tribute to the one who is on the couch.

Lovin arms is beter.

Please read about what Beste zangers is about before making nonsensical comments about it. >.> Boyfriend, LOL??!
