Classical Singer Reaction - Floor Jansen & Henk Poort | Phantom of the Opera. One of my favorites!

[@marcch72]

This version by Floor and Henk is based on the Nightwish arrangement and Henk added a bit of distortion to surprise Floor. They performed this duet at the end of the season and after spending time together on the location on Ibiza. Since this show they have performed live together. Btw. Andrew Lloyd Webber called Henk his favourite Phantom.

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Greetings from Finland. Just to let you & others know, Beste Zangers is not a competition, but a TV show in which the participating vocalists sing to each other songs that are meaningful to them in one way or another.

[@roykliffen9674]

Although Michael Crawford was fantastic, it is Floor's partner - Henk Poort - who was considered by ALW to be the best Phantom., a role he played on stage in the Dutch version. Another nice bit of Trivia; Henk Poort was Floor's idol ever since she saw him in the POTO. She did this show especially when she heard he would be also be in it, She was fangirling all during the series. This was the first time Henk used distortion, especially as a tribute to Floor's normal repertoire. [edit] BTW. Andrew Lloyd Webber claimed Henk Poort was the best Phantom on a BBC breakfast show with no expectation of a Dutch audience so pandering was not a motivator,

[@fnglert]

I believe Henk deserves all the props for standing opposite peak Floor Jansen letting it all out and completely holding his own.

[@apostleintriumph1758]

Henk doesn't need props. He was Floor's idol in her youth, and he played The Phantom, in the early 90's in Denmark.

[@schout33]

As live concerts with Nightwish were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered KZbin in the last year and she uploaded many stunning videos on her channel. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers (one of them with Henk Poort) personal insights and so much more. Her 'Fan Friday' videos are hilarious. Just go to her channel and unpack some of the presents she left there. Greetings from a Flooraholic and proud 'Floorfunder' from Utrecht, The Netherlands.

[@droiduser9633]

Good man Henk learned to add grit to his voice just for his respect for Floor! This song, and Simon & Garfuncle's "The Sound of Silence" , which he performed for her! He agreed to perform this song with her , under the agreement (as I understand), that he could join Nightwish onstage and do it again! Especially now that Marco has given us all his , hopefully temporary resignation, this would be a great addition to not just the Amsterdam show(s) but any other Henk can attend as well! This was all around awesome!

[@ar47yrr4p]

"she's doing this whole kind of smitten...you know, where she just really admires the phantom" I had heard...through nigthwish fans that Floor has been a HUGE fan of Henk Poort since she was a little girl...so her acting smitten probably really isn't an act...she's singing with one of her childhood idols!

[@lbrounen]

Hallo, mijn beste vriend! There are other great Floor performances from the same show. Not one will disappoint.

[@bert2673]

totally agree

[@monicacarolina6480]

Hallo vriend, Henk was THE original Phantom in the Netherlands and was Webers farorite phantom sir.

[@johncheek2415]

It's not really an act, it has been Floor's live long dream to sing with Henk Poort, he is her idol ever since she saw him in Phantom of the Opera when she was 12.

[@zvolencan1]

It seems your computer was having problems playing the video. I suggest selecting a lower quality, 720p would be enough to play it without glitches and you´ll still have nice picture.

[@Timmayytoo]

I know some reactors will actually download the video first in order to avoid this issue.

[@roeloftooms]

Beste Zangers is no competition, it is a gathering of 7 singers from different genres. In each episode one of them is placed central and all others are singing a song that has a meaning, that can be his/her own song or something with a special remembering. In the last (more like fun) episode all singers have to choose one of the others to do a duet. If you like les Mis, Tim Ackerman did do Bring him home (Breng hem thuis) on this same show as his song for Henk.

[@themadmagi]

Your sound from the Beste Zangers video kept muting every few seconds, you might have to make some adjustments to resolve that.

[@veteraan2567]

Yes, I noticed the same thing happening.

[@in_differ_ence]

It was killing me indeed 🙃 listening to music like this is bummer 😬

[@johnlindquist1784]

It was a bit like watching singers with the hiccups. Kind of annoying.

[@SingerDadReacts]

My apologies. This was actually due to an internet/buffering issue on my network. I'll make sure to try to remedy this for next time. It wasn't just the audio. I verified it wasn't my local PC resources, which is what I thought it was at first.

[@veteraan2567]

Well, best to get this feedback sooner rather than later I suppose 😁@@SingerDadReacts

[@aresfabrega1977]

I would love to hear your opinion of Epica - sancta terra, where Simone (epica's singer) and Floor sing together, they blend sooo well and you'll get to see an orchestra and a choir with the band. For me is awesome, I hope you'll like it

[@maartjewaterman1193]

Beste Zangers most definitely is not a compition but singers appreciating one and other's talents and performances without any feelings of rivalry, which is the beauty of the show.

[@vlinder6329]

Oh Ome Henk and Floor🥰 BEAUTIFUL ❤

[@janjager2906]

Great reaction! I tried to make some singing sounds with your explanation of lifting the cheeks and the soft pallet and so on. I’m a 65 year old male, never sang and smoke a package a day, and I was amazed at the quality and level of the sound that came out of me! The neighbour below must have thought “What the heck he’s doing, how in his mind he come up with that!“ 🤣

[@jerryvt7432]

Everybody knows that Floor is magnificent. But Henk is also a great star in operas and musicals. Beside the Phantom and Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, he did also Tevje in "Fiddler on the Roof" and many other big roles.

[@lisafoster4468]

She might actually BE smitten XD she's been a Henk fangirl since she was a kid.

[@slaveholland]

I understand crawford but henk is singing this after 25 years. On this level

[@johns20901]

[@hendrikdevries9725]

Floor sang in her very early Nightwish days a Puccini aria for a Dutch TV program, some clips have it with subtitles. She sings O Mio Babbino Caro. Stunning.

[@carstenschultz5]

There is also a version of this song by Nightwish (sung by Tarja and Marko) which is lots of fun. I believe that that also inspired Henk to add some growls in this rendition.

@@SingerDadReacts, and I already watched your reaction in the past as I now see :) Since you did not mentioned it in this one, I thought that you had not seen the Nightwish version.

[@marcch72]

Henk added the growl as a surprise to Floor and as a callback to his version of the Sound of Silence

[@lenaherbert9813]

[@merqury5]

Id love to hear you take on something by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe. Pavarotti said they dummed down opera, but would be be here today musically if Freddie didn't break that wall in 1987. The Golden Boy is a gem from that album, Barcelona is the hit.

[@1337nano]

Hi Josh, great reaction as always! Sound quality of the mic is good and image quality as well. If you want more classical Floor, then Vilja lied from this show (de beste zangers), Epica with Floor Stabat mater dolorosa and from the same live performance sancta terra. Looking forward to more Nightwish reactions as well. Thank you and hope you and family are keeping safe.

[@joeruskamp1590]

I grew up with the same version of Phantom. I saw Sarah Brightman live in '95. She was incredible! I never got to see Michael Crawford sadly.

[@clivematthews5296]

You commented on how well they sound together but Floor sound good with every one she sings.

[@Ireksojkowski]

Hi, beautiful reaction

[@dac2007]

Nice that you are back, the chapters thing is also nice. Too bad the performance bug here but no problem, we have heard it multiple times. The mic sounds great though. If i may suggest something, not from Nightwish but another famous symphonic metal band, i'd like to hear your opinion about Epica, a good song to start would be Design Your Universe, live at Retrospect show.

[@vogel2280]

Hi Josh, good to find you again with a reaction to Nightwish (or one of their singers) I like your new setup, allowing me to skip the lyrics which I almost know by heart by now. About beste zangers: it is so great because it is not really a competition. It is about honouring each other. There are vids out there with subtitles (like on jennyzelf or Denise Hofs ). Each song comes with a 2 or 3 minute intro why the singer picked this song to sing on the show. Knowing the backstory really adds value to the performance. It was easy for Floor to adore the Phantom because she was a fan of Henk poort ever since she first saw him play Phantom when she was only 13 (see why you need that intro?) In Vilja Lied (same show, same Floor) Floor is a bit more true to the classic version (although not fully) In Sound of Silence (same show, same Henk) you can see Henk going really out of way for Floor singing the Disturbed version of Sound of Silence.

[@ZzKevZz]

Phantom was written for Crawford's voice. I've seen both Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in concert and they were both great.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

[@oldcowboy1972]

I liked your review. I only have a comment. I also saw Crawford do the Phantom in LA. I also saw Robert Guillaume when he took over. Crawford was a more romantic phantom than Guillaume, who was more maniacal. I also saw the understudy that was in for both of them. He was a really good mix of the 2. But no one can to Crawford's singing.
