Yup. Henk was the Phantom, and Floor was in the audience....and now we see them performing it together. Floor has many moments of magic. But this one is MAGIC!
Henk played the Dutch version of the phantom. His voice is so good! You need to see his rendition of "Sound of Silence" in that show, it's incredible. He's not moving, sits there nailing the notes. 🙂
I can't even imaging what it must feel like to have your idol, your hero, learning a completely new way of singing, just for you. No drug in the world can beat that.
My guess is is that Crazy was talking about Henk, who was one of Floor’s idols, learning to safely do distortion specifically to sing for (Sound of Silence) and with Floor on Phantom.
@@crazyr2113 I agree! Personally, I think that Henk and Emma were as awesome together as Henk and Floor. He really stepped back and allowed her to shine, and shine she did! :)
Henk is Dutch.....Floor saw him play the Phantom in her youth and was a big fan of his growing up. When she found out he was going be on the same show, she asked him to do Phantom with her. In turn he sang " Sounds Of Silence " ( Disturbed version ) for her. Good stuff !
Not entirely correct as the Phantom was the closing duet of the 2019 season. In the first episode Henk was the centered artist and Floor sang Vilja lied for him. In Floor's episode Henk sang Disturbed's version of the Sound of Silence for her. After that Floor asked Henk to do the Phantom duet with her and Henk agreed on the condition that he could perform with Nightwish when they would come to the Netherlands.
5:38 is my favorite moment of this performance. Henk is Floor's childhood idol, one of the reasons she wanted to sing. He is also Andrew Lloyd Webber's favorite phantom. So when he hits that metal vocal fry it's no surprise that she geeks out as hard as she does. She actually looks more proud than anything else, like I TAUGHT MY HERO METAL.
Absolutely. In the context of this show, where one performer challenges another to "stretch" outside of their comfort zone, this was the perfect Floor choice to see and hear one of her heroes expand on his established prowess. So. Much. Fun! Good job picking up on some of these dynamics... rl 🤘👹🤘
I see an incredible admiration from Henk - He was the one who pointed out on the first episode that it was a shame no one knew about Floor... Clearly he did.
"Sounds like Symphonic Metal" That is because this is the Nightwish arrangement, by Tuomas Holopainen, with Tarja and Marco singing originally: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tL25rbnvM4o.html
@Nikioko : So? Some people seem to think that the higher you can sing the better you are, but that's not what music is about. I've heard Floor hit higher notes, so I know she can do it. I don't know why they changed the pitch, but it could be that this one is similar to the Nightwish version, so it's probably in the same key. Whatever the reason, it's really not that important.
The Nightwish version with Tarja in her yellow outfit singing with Marco is something you should look in to as well. They sound strangely good together
If you want to hear Floor go full opera she's done " O Mio babbino caro" on a Dutch show. Or you can go with Floor and Simone Simon (Epica) in "Stabat mater Dolorosa" where Floor sings alto.
Henk Poort was Floors childhood here when he was in Phantom and that is why she agreed to do the show. Her first song was for Henk and she did Vilja Lied as it was the song Henk's Mother sang for his Father, he said it always made his Father cry. Henk was so impressed with Floor's voice that he decided to learn Distortion so that he could sing Distrbed's version of Sound of Silence. He said that distortion was a definite NO NO in Opera. Henk only agreed to sing Phantom of the Opera with Floor if she agreed to let him sing it with Nightwish next time they came to The Netherlands.
As others have mentioned, Heck Poort was the original Phantom in the Dutch version of Phantom. If you decide to do any other songs from the 2019 Beste Zangers, I would recommend using the versions from jenniezelf's YT page. She has the intros and outros translated into Engish as well as the song. There are so many wonderful songs from that season. I would highly recommend listening to Henk perform with Emma Heesters the same night as this performance. They did Vivo Per Lei, which may have been the best performance of the season.
If you want to see a little bit "Uncle Henk": Check out his version of The sound of silence (he performs this song for Floor on Beste Zangers)....i would so like to see you reacting to this :)
She's a queen. We know it 😅. Henk Poort played the "Eric" role hundreds of times on Phantom's Dutch production. For me this is the Duet of the Century. Excellent singing and acting from these seasoned vocal heavyweights.
I love Henk's interpetation of the Disturbed version of the Sound of Silence from this show. It's the first time he's done any attempt at distortion in his voice, after only practicing it for a couple of hours. And to be honest it might even be better then the Disturbed version
@@TheDoombrigade check the remastered version on the channel Nightwish Arena, he's made Floor louder in the mix. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y3Waw73QJ5Y.html
Queen to D6, checkmate. Enjoyed the reaction. Henk played the phantom in the Dutch version and he learned how to sing with distortion just for this show and had never done it before then.
FINALLY someone who actually analysed the vocal techniques instead of just screaming how awesome it is! In this song Floor really shows her broad education and skills :)
Henk is so awesome. He doesnt just sing, but act. When he demands "Sing my angel of music!" he has the absolute control over Floor. Even if she did not want to sing, she could not stop. She just had to, no matter what. Absolutely great work from both of them. I simply love it
Henk Poort's rasp/fry/... at 5:37 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cUw1O-0xfnM.html was 100% intended ! As he said in the episode where he has sung "sound of silence" it is a "No-no-no" for opera singers and he isn't trained to sing like this. Because they are singing the Nightwish version it is a "MUST" but not as harsh as Marco would do it. Both made a deal - he'll sing it with her at Beste Zangers and she'll sing it with him at the next Nightwish concert in Netherlands. And ... by the way ... Henk Poort was THE phantom of the opera in Netherlands for years.
Henk Poort not only played the Phantom in the Dutch production of Phantom of the Opera, he also played Jean Valjean in the Dutch production of Les Miserables.
Henk played the phantom in the Netherlands and Andrew lloyd Webber called him the best phantom in history. He also next to musical is a great opera singer. Floor is classically schooled
Dear Beth, Henk Poort was the Dutch Phantom a long time ago. That is why he sounded like the Phantom, he has also done something with 2 other Bariton's a rock thing back in the 90's there he also sang with distortion in his voice.
Can you please react to the Japanese singer LiSA’s performance of the song Gurenge on “The First Take”. She has a very amazing voice and I think you’d really enjoy her music.
Beth is back. Hello, long time no see. Henk Poort is Andrew Lloyd Webber favourite Phantom. And Floor is not a queen but a Goddess.. Glad to see you again.
Seen Henk perform as Phantom, as well as his stand-in Ben Cramer. Henk is fantastic, but I never thought that Ben would be able to be such a great Phantom as well.
So long waiting for this reaction! Thank you! Every time I see the performance I get goose bumps. Henk Poort played Erik in the Dutch version of Phantom of the Opera. And Floor... Yes, she is a queen!
Floor recently released her "Floor finds" interview with Henk and he said that he went to his vocal coach to learn how to sing distorted for this song. And his vocal coach was telling him that that was bad technique and would ruin his voice. Yeah well, no.
Henk Poort reportedly was Andrew Lloyd Webber's favorite Phantom, having portrayed the character some 600 times (?) Somewhere in there. If ANY man on Earth knows how to sing this song, it's Henk.
If you were going to review Henk Poort, you should have taken a few minutes to educate yourself about him. He portrayed the Phantom in the Dutch production for several years. None other than Andrew Lloyd Weber, who was "only" its composer, considers him to have played that role better than anyone else, including Michael Crawford.
Henk insisted doing Nightwish's version of the song. And without this global pandemic he was supposed to be singing with Nightwish a week from now (or so) at Amsterdam (sold-out) concerts.
You should react to Popular Monster by Falling In Reverse. There's so much vocal diversity in the song I would love to see your take on it. It kind of graphic though.
Floor sang Vilja Lied for Henk in the first episode of this show/season. His mother was a singer who sang it many times. Before this show Floor was not well known in the Netherlands. On the show Floor did Floor things and now she is well known. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k4Bp7exJufs.html -- shortcut to Floor singing Vilja Lied.
And don't forget to turn on the captions for an English translation of this extended version!!! It's much better than the stand-alone official release, which includes just the performance itself, not the before-and-after discussions. Thanks to jenniezelf for this.
Hi Beth! Your reactions and the way you explain the technical aspects are great! You should definitely listen to Scardust! Their singer, Noa Gruman, was a Floor Jansen's student. Her voice is totally out of this world!
I don’t know if you have done the Nightwish version with Tarja Turunen, but I would love to see you react to that one if you haven’t. To me, it’s the best one out there.
Henk Poort is one of continental Europe's finest Phantoms. He is superbly trained and experienced. He added the distortion part of the performance for Floor, as he did when he covered Disturbed's Sound of Silence for her. This goes against his training, but he did so as a sign of respect to a fellow very talented performer.
i have seen Henk Poort play the Phantom in the musical in the Netherlands... His voice is PERFECT actually for this. Floor's voice is so incredibly good. She can sing almost anything. You should actually look at the other songs she did on this program.
One thing to note about this. This is the Nightwish arrangement of the song. Nightwish covered this song on their 2002 album "Century Child", as well as performed it at their End of an Era show in 2004. So this performance comes full circle: The current singer for Nightwish, performing the song as arranged by Nightwish, with her idol and person who played the Phantom in the Dutch production of the musical (and Andrew Lloyd Webber's favorite Phantom). Also, Henk said he would only perform it on the condition that he gets to perform it with Nightwish when they tour through the Netherlands. That show is still scheduled for Nightwish's next tour.
Nice react Beth. Seen Floor at her solo show january this year. Powerful, gracefully, passionate, emotional. Blew me away and teared me up (65 y old bloke). When she did this one with Henk Poort the roof went off, such power!
