[Wifey Reaction] Floor Jansen and Henk Poort - Phantom of the Opera (Dynamite Duo WOW!) 

"We will discuss this after the video ..." almost fallen off the chair laughing. 😅

Floor is a Henk fangirl and this was a big deal for her. Henk I believe learnt how to sing in distortion mode specially for this duet with Floor. Others no doubt will correct me and fill you in with all the details on this incredible show from 2019.

Henk was the original Phanton in the Dutch production and is even rumoured to be Andrew Lloyd Webber his favorite Phantom. Floor saw him in the Dutch production when she was young. She was fangirling over him and got all excited when she heared he was going to be on the show to. Here is a recording from 1993 where Henk performs this song when he was the Phantom ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XnJwXEzjbcw.html

henks "growling" was a hommage to floor. quick edit: henk is a legend and floor admired him since she was young. and "phantom" is a musical . 😁

All the performances of Beste Zangers 2019 are worth watching.

You should just watch every song Floor did in this show. You can see Floor flex her abilities...

Also watch Floor singing opera with Simone of Epica - Stabat Mater Dolorosa and a heavier Nightwish - Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean (Marko and Floor).

I discovered Floor with this video 2 years ago, I was blown away, and with her discovered Nightwish, I was not into metal, and now Nightwish is my number 1, and Floor, there are no words.... and Henk's Sound of Silence, I recommend....

Hank does a version of Simon and Garfunkels Sound of silence for Floor when its her turn to sit in the midle of the coutch and the others perform for her. its so so good. as others have told Floor has been a fangirl of Hank since she saw hin the first time in an opera. ( she was 13 years old when that happened. Hank was the Dutch ( the netherlands NOT germany ) Phantom of the opera.

Henk especially learned to growl (his first time) for this performance as a surprise for Floor. Henk has played as the Dutch 'phantom' for many years.

She each singer sings songs for each other person on the show. Not a competition but a chance just to appreciate each other. Sounds of silence was from when they sang songs for Floor. Emma Hester sang a song called Strong for Floor. Floor wrote Strong when she was in her band After Forever for her mother, she suffers from really bad rumetism and it was Floor's tribute to her. Emma did a wonderful version for Floor.

"I don't know how I feel about Opera music yet" - and after this you still won't, because this isn't opera. Very different styles. It's called phantom of the opera because the story is set in an opera house, but the music is very much a theatrical musical.

The show takes 7 singers from different genres of music and put them together in a resort on Ibiza. In every episode one of them is placed central and all 6 others each sing a song that has a meaning for the central placed person. Than can be something he/she did perform or something with a memory to it. Because the singers are all from different genres it is possible that they have to step out their own music style comfort zone or transform a song to their comfort zone. It is no competition but just a gathering to honor each other, sharing stories and bring up memories. The 8th and last episode of the season is the fun duet show. Each singer has to choose one of the others to perform a duet. In this episode Floor did do 2 duets. Henk was the original Phantom in the Dutch version and Floor was a fan of him. Henk agreed to do a duet if he also could do the duet with a Nightwish concert. Of course of Henk you can find all songs on RU-vid, his most viral one is the Sound of silence. In a previous season there was O'g3ne (speak as O-gene) making people stunned with their version of Ed Sheeran's Sing and with the Corona pandemic these 3 girls made some stunning "home isolation" songs you should watch, start with the famous Bohemian Rhapsody (also read how they recorded the song)

Ohhhh Uncle Henk and Floor 🇳🇱🌷🇮🇩 AMAZING together 💕 FLOOR JANSEN😍 is a soprano, with a range of more than three octaves (D3 to F6). Her singing style varies from opera to screaming and grunting. Mostly she sings in English, but she has also sung songs in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish. Henk Poort is a Dutch actor and singer, who mainly plays in operas and musicals. Henk was LLOYD WEBBER's favorite in the Phantom of the Opera😍 Thank You so much, love❤️ from the Netherlands🙋🏼😘

Phantom of the Opera is actually not Opera but a Musical. And afaik Henk did the growl the first time ever here and he trained it especially for Floor who is a big fan of him.

Since you have children check out Floor singing Frozen it’s from her channel, I hate the original and most people my age, I’m an old Metal Rock head and most grandparents ( and parents)hate the Frozen song because it was played so much over & over again. But Floor did her magic on it as well!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Floor once said in an interview, that she has the lungs of a deep sea diver.

Check out The Nightwish version. Tarja and Marko realy shines. Marko is realy spectacular

Floor's done that rare thing - gone from idolising Henk, to performing with him - and now they are firm friends. Lovely to see Beautiful Wife Sarah™ again. 💜

Tank you. Nightwish Phantom of the Opera . Tarja & Marko.

henk covered the sound of silence-disturbed on the same show. Henk is in his 60's

Henk is an opera singer, also Musical star in various opera`s, actor and a very fun/friendly guy well known in the Netherlands. He is still going strong.

So Henk was one of the seven singers on Beste Zangers with Floor. Each singer has a week when every other singer sings a song that has meaning to them. He sang Sound of Silence to Floor in the style of Disturbed. She sang a rock version of Vilja Lied to Henk in German. By the way Phantom is a musical not an opera although Henk is a trained opera singer. To hear Floor sing opera search for Floor Jansen O Mio Babbino Caro. And if you find Floor's RU-vid channel she sings several covers but also gives singing coaching

Henk was the original Phantom in the Netherlands, having performed the role for about 30 years. Floor saw him as a young girl has idolized him ever since. You can imagine how exciting it was for her to sing this with him. His one condition: when Nightwish tours the Netherlands next, Henk gets to sing this with Floor at the concert! I can't wait to see that!

As Henk said: Good music is good music, no matter wich genre

Henk (hank) is a proffesional opera singer. the growlin part was added by him for fun. Floor had as a little girl a crush for Henk as a singer. this was a golden chance for her to meet him and sing with him.

Hello both of you. Henk Poort did an other duet with Emma Heesters called Vivo Per Lei in the same Beste Zangers 2019 show Please react to it together with your wife

Floor's parents took her to the Phantom when she was 12. Henk was the Phantom. After seeing the musical she decided she wanted to be a singer. That's why Henk is so important to her. Henk was told this by the producers of the show and he decided to honor her with learning distortion.

Now you have to do all the performances from this show. They are all really good. There are also videos with the singers talking before and after the songs which give a little more insight into the performances. The videos are in Dutch with subtitles but are definitely worth watching. Emma Heesters singing (Strong) a song Floor wrote is especially emotional.

Floor recently had gal bladder surgery. Check out her performance on the Beste Zangers Eurovision special called Euforia. She was not able to fly to attend so attended from home, singing live to the band on stage. Recovering from surgery and being able to sing like that....she is out of this world! Oh and by the way, all her performances on this Beste Zangers show are worth watching.

Great reaction guys. Next check out Henk’s version of ‘Sound of silence’ singing for Floor.

Now time for the Nightwish version where Tarja and Marko does the singing. One of Tarja´s best performances in my opinion, and im not a Tarja fan. But in this one she shines and Marko´s vocals kicks serious butt :D Regarding Sound of Silence... Henk does it okay but if you really want a treat do the version by Disturbed. Either OMV or Live. Equally amazing :)

Indeed Henk Poort is originally an operasinger, but nowadays he is also very popular in some famous musicals, like the Phantom of the Opera (which is not an opera !) He played the Phantom himself many times in the Dutch version and was one of the favorites of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Other roles of him are Jean Valjean in Les Miserables and Tevje in Fiddler on the Roof. Floor was a big fan of him as a child. She opened the season 2019 of "Beste Zangers" by singing especially for Henk the "Viljalied", from the operette "die Lustige Witwe" (= the Merry Widow) by Franz Lehar. Nice reaction by the way and my compliments to your wife. She knows a lot about good singing and vocal techniques.

That's almost a small rockopera, it has everything, irresistible singing and the firm sound of the band is great, it works perfect. Last but not least, the chemistry between Floor and Henk is great too. By the way,Henk Poort sounds like Hank Port.

Henk ( as in the USA Hank) Poort (as in the USA port) is 65 years old and was the Dutch Phantom in the musical. Floor was as a little girl a fan and admired Henk and in this tv-show her dream came true by singing together! Btw. nice to see your "Sarah" again, but I think it's bedtime for her ..... she's yawning 😉. Btw.2. And yes Henk does Sound of Silence in the DISTURBED version. Btw.3. while you're at it, watch Henk Poort & Emma Heesters (Hay-sturs) in a duet, *_"Vivo per Lei"_* : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OumZnDaQINo.html

Henk Poort has been the Dutch phantom on stage for many years. Floor taught him to do vocal fry in a few hours before the show, usually forbidden for classical and opera singers. This is considered musical theater not opera, but close enough 😁 Excellent reaction my friends. Much love to you and the missus 🤗

Sound of silence by Henk is great. He did it especially for Floor. Henk is an opera and musical singer. He was 63 years old at that show. The show has different singers every year. Thank you for this reaction.

Henk is from the opera world and Floor is a metal singer. The up tempo is a homage to the metal, Floor's singing is a homage to opera, and then Henk tries metal growling... When Floor sang solo for Henk she did a song from the operette The Merry Widow composed by Franz Lehár: Vilja lied, partly up tempo. Talkin about up tempo, the rock singer Tim Akkerman in that company did one of Floor's songs from Nightwish: He chose Nemo and ceated a very creditable cover

Your wife is right. Floor knows how to use her body to do what she does with her voice. She was a vocal coach before Nightwish and now, during the pandemia, she has given some masterclasses on youtube. She is an incredible person. You must check this Beste Zanger´s season: Floor became more known in Nederland and many singers on that stage were known around the world because of her. :D It was a great season!

To be clear: "Phantom of the Opera" is a musical. Not to be confused with "Phantom of the Musical", witch is an opera.

Musical Theatre. Opera types will pounce on this being called "Opera." haha. They became best of friends after working on this show. Thank you for reacting.

Toms face for the last minute of the performance mirrors the faces of us all when this episode aired. The Reacticide absolutely exploded like that.

You looked a bit desperate when your wife talked about datenight 😄🤣😂 greetings from the Netherlands

As Elizabeth from the Charismatic Voice YT channel says, "Phantom of the Opera is a musical, NOT an opera".... Great reaction! Next, check out, with your wife, Floor's solo version of Gaga's "Shallow" on this same show....otherworldly!

1:34 AND YOU SHOULD!!!! Lolololol she’s great! Awww love her! Do “Strong” by Emma Hesters!!! It’s written by Floor!!! She wrote it for her momma!!! 😭 BRING TISSUES! Good luck on your RU-vid journey!!! Thank you for showing some major love to Floor and NW!!! Symphony bars with almonds and toffee are one of my favorites!!!

P.S this was performed in same arrengment than Nightwish's cover from this with Tarja in end of an Era concert Finland

Uncle Henke he rules the game in this song... and Miss Floor Jansen Queen of Metal 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

henk is the original phatom of the opera for man ears in the netherlands.on the couch are singers from netherlands.they cover songs of each other.sometimes songs of another artist.the suprise at this episode of this show was floor jansen.many of the other singers dont know that floor can sing other genres.they know she is a metlal singer.so they was ver surprised by her.performances.

Hi Tom Henk is 65 and he has played the Phantom. He did the distortion just for Floor on the song Sound of Silence and then this one. The only time he has done it because he is an opera singer. You should check out her RU-vid Channel and some of her Masterclasses. She is a vocal technique nerd and coach. Henk was on tour with Floor on her solo tour.

Nice reaction. Episode 8 of the Beste Zangers show is the duett episode where the participants choose a partner. Floor chose Henk for this song but then Henk chose Emma Heesters for "Vivo per Lei" and it was just beautiful. Every year a dutch TV station invites seven professional singers from the Netherlands to this show to sing for each other. It is NOT a competition. A season consists of 8 episodes and 2019 they invited Floor, who was not very well known in the Netherlands back then because metal is not played on the radio there. Only two (Henk and Tim) of the other singers knew her but even they were surprised by what she can do with her voice. All the rest of the cast knew was that she sings in a metal band. Imagine the surprise on their faces when she sang an aria from an opera for Henk. Each episode of the show is dedicated to one of the participating artists where the others chose a song from their catalog or a song that means a lot to the person in the spotlght on that evening. In episode 4 (Floors evening), Emma brought Floor to tears with her rendition of "Strong" , a song that Floor wrote for her mother who suffers from rheumatism. Henk sang "Sound of silence" (Disturbed version) for Floor. Rolf Sanchez did a great version of "Hotel California" for her. Tim Akkermann sang a sped up rock version of Nightwishs "Nemo" that Floor really enjoyed. There are so many good performances in this season of Beste Zangers, you should really check them all, Floors performances of course (her version of "Shallow" is a must), but also all the other singers. They all did a great job. In the season from 2019 there were: Ruben Annink (singer/songwriter and the youngest with just 20 yrs) Emma Heesters (singing coversongs on RU-vid with 2 mio subscribers on her channel, she was 23 at the time the show was recorded) Floor Jansen (Metal, leadsinger in the finnish symphonic Metalband "Nightwish") Rolf Sanchez (Reggaeton, Salsa, very successful in Latin-america) Samantha Steenwijk (dutch folk music) Tim Akkermann (Rock, was part of a dutch rockband) Henk Poort (Opera, famous dutch opera and musical singer and Andrew Lloyd Webbers favourite Phantom)

All Floor fans have watching all the songs of De Beste Zangers 2019 Tom. Henk is the idol of Floor.😁

Floor Jansen the best singer our time...is the Queen.... NIGHTWISH ARMY..🔥🤘👑

Great reaction! 👍 Just have to say that Phantom of the opera is a musical that takes place in an opera house. 😀

I see Tom. I see Floor. Immediate LIKE! Now I'll watch it. :-)

Ok, now ju just HAVE TO go to first Nightwish version of Phantom of the opera with Tarja and Marko just killing it! And you have at least one more Floor tone to have a look at, bring Sarah and have a look at Yours is An Empty Hope, Wembley version... But bring her for the Nightwish version of Phantom of the opera too...

I love how your wife comes with the more technical dimension. Floor is a master of controling the breath and valve modifications. Just her breath control makes me love this more than the End of an era version, where Tarja lose her breath at the end and has to take a break to make the last note.

Aaahhhh, your wife is back. She adds so much to your reactions. Her personality type is a perfect offset to yours. It doesn't hurt that she is beautiful too. Great reaction to Floor and Henk.

The music isn't the same in Phantom of the Opera shows. It was done with more metal for this show. Fair warning for the future date night. But if Floor ever did Phantom, I'd go see it too, no matter what the music was

Great reactions, now you need to check out Tarja with Nightwish with the Phantom of the Opera! Totally different! And then Epica tf. Floor - Sancta Terra aand Epica - Consign to Oblivion. You will love it!

Henk Poort was an original singer of the Phantom of the Opera in Holland. After singing with Floor, he decided to go on tour with Floor.

Henk was the original Phantom in the Dutch version of the musical.

Henk Poort is a guest vocalist at Beste Zangers 2019, just like the six others. Floor did know him since her younger years. He is a baritone. He followed a classical singing education at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam. He won the Cristina Deutekom Competition during his singing training. Poort sang at various European opera houses, such as in Ulm and Krefeld. He has made guest appearances for, for example, De Nederlandse Opera, the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, the Hessische Staatstheater in Wiesbaden, the Nationale Reisopera, the VARA (Opera matinee in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw). Henk was already loved by Floor as the performer of "The Phantom". He sang for Floor “Sound of Silence” in the Disturb version and thus took first place in the Dutch iTunes list. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2nsAyRDOn_U.html

Now you need to listen to the nightwish performance of this song, marco kills it.

Hey you, listen to you wife and watch together with her the whole Phantom Of The Opera, it is THE musical everyone must see. Another must see is this same song with Nightwish and with Tarja and Marko and with your wife too. Enjoy the music.

Hello Tom. PLEASE watch the New Best singers episode with Floor with your wife especially for the European song contest. Floor recorded this in her home studio because she was not allowed / could not fly yet after her gallbladder operation which she recently had. 15 gallstones were removed from her. and then put down SUCH A PERFORMANCE wow! . only then will you show what a top singer and wonderful person you are!

may I recommend that you try another facet of Nightwish. Check out the same song, sung by Marco and their first female singer Tarja. completely different but as awesome yet for very different reasons. You re going to be amazed. Both of you. Funfact if you give it a try, it is the very last show Tarja was with Nightwish. There is a second cover at that evening that is worth watching as well: "High Hopes", a cover of Pink Floyd. GreeZ from Germany

Henk was the Phantom for a few years and was Andrew Lloyd Webbers personal favourite so her knows the source material pretty well. Floor knew of Henk from the Phantom and this was one of her bucket list things to do!!

If you want to see note holding power you need to check out her solo rendition of Ava Maria!

To see Floors total range check out O Mio Babbino Caro, pure opéra Aria that is truly stunning! Then Yours Is An Empty Hope. Hear Floor’s growl! That’s the double header to spoil us with please!

Henk sang this song in the Netherlands version of the musical for years. He has sung opera (his mother was an opera singer) but is more trained to musical theatre. The "growl" he puts in this version was his first growl, in honour of floor. He is great at making others sound better as well as himself. A true master.

When your wife asks you out on a date, I generally find its safest to say “yes dear”....

Henk IS the Phantom of the Opera. He is acting the Phantom of the Opera in many musicals. And Floor is taller than Henk is simply because Floor is taller than anyone. 😁 Your wife is lovely. I don't think she can impress anything that quickly and also seems to like to slide into you from time to time. 😁 14:28 I dare to doubt that. Everyone who knows Floor also knows Henk Port by now. You don't surprise us with anything new here 😁. And yes, it is worth listening to Henk's version. Btw. Henk was Floor's great role model. And a tip among us men ... learn to listen to your wife. She knows better. If she says check this out, so do you.

That's A D6 For 8 Seconds, Nothing For Floor to Do. Henk is The Dutch Phantom, Floor Loves This Guy since she Was A Little Girl. Vocally I Mean.

Yep, you should check out the nightwish version, this is good, but nightwish version is amazing ❣️

Just the Nightwish version with Tarja to watch now

Beste zangers is a dutch tv show where dutch singers are dropped in a resort and every night one of them is the center of the show. They tell a bit about their lives and their careers and in between the other singers sing songs to that sings that he or she has performed are has a special meaning for them. Season end is a Duet episode. Wanna hear Henk sing? Dheck out the video of him singing "Sound of Silence" for Floor.

Next up might be the Nightwish version, with a duet between Marko and Tarja, then, for a full on original Nightwish duet "Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean", live, to hear Marko and Floor together. For both I suggest your wife presence :)

You should go to Floor's own YT channel where she explains her techniques on her masterclass videos. Excellent entertaining stuff and a lot of Floor's wonderful presence. ⛄👍

I've loved Floor for almost 20 years now, but if you listen to your wife and watch the Phantom of the Opera (which you should totally do), make sure you listen a version starring Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo as Christine and The Phantom, respectively. Nightwish's version is transposed and Floor hits a D6 instead of the intended E6. I adore Floor with all my heart, but Sierra's voice and performance as Christine is perfection.

There was a other musical song in this season of de Beste Zangers. In the episode for Henk sings Tim Akkerman, Bringing Home out of the musical Le Misarable it's also a great song to discover musical.

Henk Poort is an opera and musicalsinger and he is 66 years old.

According to the Big Brain reactor (tenor) ,Floor is a Dramatic coloratura Soprano (Wagner level).She can sing 4 or more octaves (vocal nerd). She had only 1 year of opera training but she was and is super talented. Started singing at 14 years of age. At 16 ,she sang at school and at the same time in a Metal band as background singer. Soon, she became lead singer and became the Goddess that we love 🤩🤩🤩. You should check out After forever (Monolith of doubt (21 year old) and Revamp (Disdain).

Henk's Sound of Silence is awesome!

Floors formal voice training was in both classical opera AND musical theatre......plus, being in metal bands her entire career. she got very little radio and mainstream media coverage, but, this got Nightwish, as well as Floor, exposure in her home country.....Henk was 63 at the time

FLOOR is my Favorite Female Singer and She & Sarah Brightman..are my Favorite "Christine's."

Check out Arch Enemy. They are another symphonic metal band like Nightwish, and they've been around for as long. They're like the blue collar version of Nightwish, or like a leather biker Nightwish.

Great reaction!!! I think now its time for you to listen to Nightwish's version of the phantom of the opera with Marco and Tarja!

I'm a pure heart metal head but seeing Phantom of the Opera musical live was quite an experience.

Henk is the original phantom in the Dutch musical version of Phantom of the Opera and Andrew Lloyd Webber referred to him as the best version of the Phantom, as far as I have read. Floor was a huge fan of him and listened to the Phantom of the Opera during her studies in the Netherlands. She was fangirling about him on the show and this was the final song for the 2019 season. Henk promised to perform The Phantom of the Opera with Floor during Nightwish's concerts in the Netherlands and both dates on that tour sold out in a few hours after this episode aired. Nightwish has a more rocky version of the song with Marco and originally sung by Tarja, the first singer of Nightwish.

Do sound of silence by Henk!!!! PLEASE and yes we will ALWAYS take a two for!!!!!

All is said, she's a vocal miracle.

Great reaction from Both of you 💕☺️. Was great to hear technique comments from your sweet, knowledgeable wife....and also to see the shocked look on your face !!!

so another great opera piece with Floor in it and also Simone of Epica is at the Epica Retrospective concert with the Orchestra they perform Stabat Mater Dolorosa together.

Duet of the century. May the Floorce be with you.

Check out the Nightwish version of phantom of the opera. It is with the original vocalist, Tarja from End of an Era dvd.

if you wanna taste of floor doing opera you might wanna check out her performance from the same show of the song Vilja Lied which she sings for Henk Poort in the very first episode, which was close to Henk's heart because his mother use to sing it for him. Henk Poort is indeed a classically trained opera singer and also played the phantom in the German stage production. Andrew Llyod Weber has said that Henk was his favorite phantom. Henk Poort's growl is in homage to Floor, distortion is taboo for opera singers but he learned it to do it just for her and this performance. Floor is a huge Henk fan and asked him if he would do this song with her and he said he would on the condition that she invites him to sing it with Nightwish when they tour the netherlands. They have done this again live during a Floor solo concert.

React to a prog hard rock opera, Ayreon “The Day That The World Breaks Down” . This is the first track of a scifi story and all 11 singers are introduced! It’s amazing! You’ll love it. And there’s a great surprise for you at the end of this track!

You definitely should take a date night watching of phantom of the opera with your lovely wife. You owe her that after the reactions!

Love this! And FYI Phantom of The Opera, is not an Opera ..it is a musical. So it's fun!

It is not real opera, it is musical theater :) and it is actually a metal cover of the actual song, arranged by Floor and the Band of the show, I would assume based on the Nightwish cover sang by Tarja and Marko. Feel free to also react to that one with your wife! not alone. And c'mon, take her to a date and watch with ther Phantom of the Opera !!
