Floor Jansen & Henk Poort (Phantom of the Opera - Beste Zangers - Kel-n- Rich's First Reaction-Vault

[@tod1045]

Most singers sing what they can, Floor sings what she wants.

[@MsSharondenadel]

*Dimash entered the chat* ;-D

[@scottpollack1007]

WELL SAID MY FRIEND!

[@andruid5054]

she could sing the weather report and make it sound epic

[@nyantaplay4769]

Would it be better to say how she wants?!

[@bjhellstream]

It's a beautiful thing that Henk learned this gritty rock vocal just for Floor. He had never tried it before.

[@bjhellstream]

@larryc3860 Yeah, I know. He know this song inside out. He actually learned to sing with distortion for his cover of the Disturbed version of The Sound of Silence!

[@shawnengles8771]

​@@bjhellstream Pretty sure he learned how to do that grit in his voice just 3 weeks prior to doing sound of silence

[@MaxHoukes]

Thanks for bringing this back! This is what we call a Floorgasm... Proud to be Dutch!

[@agustinmanyari]

Max Houkes amen!

[@TheEFVG]

@Big Bill O'Reilly Well, he as a citizen obviously didn't fuck up his country of the Netherlands in such a way that singers like Floor couldn't emerge from its blessed soils. Let us thank him for that. Now Í almost made myself feel proud to be Dutch... But don't worry. The Netherlands are one of the least nationalistic countries on earth. Let's keep it that way.

[@robertdevries2045]

@@ThisIsTheMajor sure there is, we're a small country so we're proud of what we achieve, we don't scream god bless america, but the netherlands second :P

[@matthewkilgore6783]

Nothing like a good floorgasm 👍

[@remywiggelman6476]

Yes really a #floorgasm they are so gooood

[@gregzerby7168]

Henks one condition to do this was that he got to redo it in concert with Nightwish...Floor is such a vocal gift to this world

[@melissap1575]

Henk Poort singing Sound of Silence is amazing. Absolutely must listen to that one.

[@guitar_noodle]

The band was playing nightwish's version of Phantom. That explains the heavy guitars and rock/metal arrangement. You should definitely watch all her performances on Beste zangers. Floors shows her versatility and talent by making other songs her own. Btw the people on the couch are all singers and to see them impressed just shows how amazing Floor is.

[@jonnykitka]

Marcel fisser band

[@CavemanJesus4Life]

It was the original music with heavy guitars, this sounds nothing like the Nightwish version

[@boeiuhhhh]

Thus was the nightwish version yeah

[@markvroomen]

Speakless

[@boeiuhhhh]

And henk poort is the dutch phanthom of the opera

[@black4pienus]

Can't get enough of people reacting to Floor, Henk and/or Nightwish. Makes me proud to come from The Netherlands.

[@leftwinger764]

Dutch Eve ik heb precies hetzelfde....ons landje, zo trots!

[@Hensepens64]

Prachtig om te zien en horen inderdaad.

[@hendrikdevries9725]

Henk said afterwards he'd never sang his heart out like this, he was overjoyed. The chemistry was leaking from the screen in abundance!

[@ddg6181]

Nightwish are a finnish (Finland) Band only floor jansen is dutch do

[@black4pienus]

@@ddg6181 Yes, I know.

[@darrenbutland2056]

Impressed, the band and vocals were incredible. At first I was expecting just another version. Floor Jansen blew me away but Henk Poort crushed it with that intense clarity and pronunciation gave me goose bumps as well, then the throaty operatic vocals! WOW! Talk about taking music to a whole other level.

[@romanjanda4926]

Very very thanks for this reaction its marvelous duet .I become a Floorgasm ever I hear this song

[@peterdoe2617]

A little update (found it today, jan, 19th, 2020): here on youtube, Floor just thanked her fans for winning the dutch "Popprijs 2019". Well deserved, I think!

[@Roller4x4]

The "Ramones dude" (Tim Akkerman) covered "Nemo" for Floor Jansen in a punkrock version...... As the former lead singer from "direct" he did a great job!

[@blairhinton7535]

My wife and I saw Phantom at Her Majesty's Theatre in London. It was simply brilliant. Absolutely loved it. So So good

[@greatgouda4792]

I love that you guys love this just as much as I do haha. This was by far the best version of the song I've ever heard, I love the original but this....the pure power... amazing

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

You rock

[@larryd4352]

I cannot get enough of Floor! Her voice is just incredible! This version is how Phantom of the Opera should be done all the time!!

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Finally something epic to listen to. All of Floor's and Henk's live performances in this Dutch TV show were just amazing. You should check them all out.

[@firemarshal17]

I agree. I stumbled on this video a couple of weeks ago and my jaw dropped.

[@perswartz4393]

Sorry for you loss. I see your love for each other is pure. Wish you a healthy life together.

[@kaosdrachen]

"Beste Zangers" is actually a very impressive pun. Literally translated, it would be "(the) Best Singers" -- but "Beste ...." is the Dutch equivalent of "Dear ..." at the start of a letter. Which is apt, because the show's format is a group of singers taking turns getting serenaded by the others one at a time.

[@kevinjennings238]

I'm Re-Visiting some of My favorite reactions you did! Great Memories!!!!

[@Equilibrium2903]

Yea, Henk Poort is Andrew Lloyd Webber's favorite phantom. He said so on many occasions. He has been peerforming this song for decades now :D

[@NinoMit87]

Where did he say that? Been looking for it cause I would love to hear him talk about it.

[@christophwegener5489]

Unbelievable.shiver,goosebumps.fantastic.i am nearly in tears. brilliant.floor is a gift of God. Nightwish can be so happy. But the male singer is amazing too. Thanks for this.

[@metalgod5300]

"Even the Ramones dude is flipping his hair" . Hilarious , Best comment ever :).

[@kevinjennings238]

I MISS you BOTH!!! PLEASE COME BACK!!!!

[@fatboynick4104]

In my humble opinion, Floor is the greatest singer I have ever heard. I know that's a bold statement but here are very few who can tackle any genre and own it as she does. Regardless of the style she sings, she kills it. She can growl, she can hit crazy high notes and anything else in between and do it all extremely well. And besides the fact she is an amazing singer, her stage performance is spectacular.

[@confuzedpenguin9974]

You need to hear his version of Sound of Silence, he sang it for Floor!

[@horseshoe_nc]

Yes!!!!

[@MrKeserian]

Oh my goodness. It was incredible. I'm a huge fan of Disturbed's version, and hearing a classical singer perform that version was incredible.

[@garynwrede4572]

Yes. It's amazing

[@pimaerts5934]

Indeed check this song out aswell. I was very happy to see them perform live last sunday, floor and henk killed it.

[@Zer0-Skill90]

Totally agree. His Voice is out of this world 😍

[@hanbuwalda8126]

Dear Kel & Rich Awesome natural first reactors. I looked for a reaction on this fabulous team performance and I got you. Thank mr search engine programmer.

What a mega floorgasm she had! Hahaha Love your reactions guys!

Floor Jansen is the Dutch Singer of Nightwish. Best regards from Europe to USA from swiss-dutch men 😀👍

[@JohnLennon__]

Watching this years later and it still gives me goosebumps I have them rn as I’m commenting this comment.

[@jsmoor4988]

Time to check the new official NW release from Amsterdam November 2022 of this song!!

[@betty1935]

Or the version from 2023, when Floor openen for Metallica in Amsterdam, and she and Henk sang the Phantom at the end of the performance.

[@CrunchyRiffs]

You guys need to watch and react to this entire show. I could not stop watching it. Totally worth your time

[@allenhuling598]

Floor did 7 or 8 songs on this show, each of them worthy of their own review/reaction! The whole format of the show is far better than what we are used to in this country (USA), something that I hope we see in the future! Basically, seven professional musicians who perform each others music, demonstrating homage to the creator and demonstrating their own diversity. Cheers for a happy, healthy, and productive 2020!

[@horseshoe_nc]

Yes, it was a fantastic format for a TV show. Henk Poort's cover of Sound of Silence, for Floor, was epic! I actually liked Henk's cover better than the original and Disturbed's cover.

[@franciscomenano]

Hi, best ....ever !!!!!! love you guys. love from Portugal

[@micknordstrom2591]

I got goose bumps and a tears in my eyes!

[@ashleighkyle7047]

Floor always steals the show, she has got to be THE best singer in the world (second only to Freddie). For those wondering though, Henk was the Phantom in the Dutch production in the 90s and he is incredible.

[@2307Martino]

I visited the 'Phantom of the Opera' in Hamburg - I also got goosebumps with this song like Kel

[@leefreed2060]

Wow. I love Floor. She is awesome

[@valentinyenedmartinez9921]

So nice to have you back! Missed you guys! You need to re upload your older vids.. so nice.. specially Delain's Masters of Destiny.. Kel was SO REAL about it.. loved it and missed it.. and missed you. Xoxoxo

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

Great reaction. Love you guys. stay safe and well.

[@chrishorst6993]

Yeah I like many people feel in love with Floor the Valkyrie. Her voice and how beautiful she is. I found her and Nightwish the band she performs with now from watching someone else’s reaction to them ❤️❤️

[@t5kcannon1]

Great reaction. An amazing performance by Floor and Henk.

[@Kronmizter]

That was AWESOME!!! Thanks!!!

[@zerrinsigirci638]

Hi guys, Henk and Floor are epic. Nice reaction😉👏😘

[@phillee2814]

Queen to D6 - Checkmate!

[@strikebr]

That last note was a killer! D6 is not for amateurs.

[@albay6]

I love the Phantom musicals and this performance is one of the epics!!

[@marcmorton1439]

Henk Poort played the Phantom for a couple of years back in the 90's in the Dutch version of the show, there in the Netherlands. As mentioned else where, the arrangement used for the song was the one adapted by NW, nearly two decades ago. Floor is doing 10, one woman shows in Amsterdam later on this month and into early February. All sold out hours after tickets went on sale. As was the now, two back to back concerts that Nightwish is performing there this upcoming 23rd & 24th of November at 17,00 capacity, Ziggo Dome.. For her show she will be performing a selection of her own non-NW songs. As well as those she sang on Beste Zangers. With the same BZ band backing her. If not having any other comments, Henk will be performing 'Phantom of the Opera' with her, as her special guest for most, if not all of those performances. He will also likely be doing the same for those two NW shows in November..

[@AndreSomers]

I sure hope he will make an appearance with Nightwish, as I have a ticket!

[@phillee2814]

It was his condition for doing this performance with her, so yes, He will be performing with Nightwish.

[@biffie186]

I'm so glad you 2 are back! 😍😍😍 keep up the good reactions !!

[@Etienne.43]

I never tire of listening to this duo 😍

[@djclaudeus]

Every week on Beste Zangers, Floor just hit a grand slam!!!!!

[@dirtydozen5079]

Best reaction! And thank you for the volume! ❤❤❤

[@TubetakerBHV]

Best way to experience a floorgasm. Every single time.

[@andrelglinnenbank2856]

I hope you will be back soon. This afternoon a Dutch TV program had Floor and Henk as guests. In the intro they played parts from 4 reaction channels. Julia Nilon, The charismatic voice, Rebecca Vocal Athlete and Kel N' Rich. Good company.

[@shoemaker688]

Good listening Rich. That band plays it al the time and every note is nailed. This is a kind of epic, to say the least.

[@dougmphilly]

the progression of kel in front of the camera over their videos is a joy to watch.

[@luisnunes2010]

You guys gotta check out more from this show, all of Floor's but also Henk's Sound of Silence and his flamenco Despacito.

[@metalgodz69]

The perfect duet imo , hank took not one , not two , but multiple floorgasm's and still responded with .... " In all ur ur fantasie's " i am truly lost for word's at the level of epicness of this video The perfect duet ....Simply stunning

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

Kudos Kels you have grown so much in confidence since you and Rich began this channel.

[@madhatter6549]

There we go! That's what I am talking about... Thanks for the past year!!!

[@philippebertrand1865]

What a voice !! i love that !! good choice, thanks a lot again and again !!!

[@Frustratia]

So glad you guys reacted to this!

[@DutchFurnace]

Rich, you nailed the pronunciation of "Beste Zangers."

[@RudyBleeker]

Yeah I was about to comment the same thing: Rich seeing the title: "I... don't know how to pronounce that" Also Rich: pronouncing it pretty much spot on for a non Dutch speaking person.

[@erik5374]

‘Zangers’ should actually be pronounced more as ‘zuhngers’, but Rich did quite well.

[@jasonvonkurzbach7948]

Floor is truly a Goddess. Love that you loved it

[@robandwend]

Best reaction channel I’ve found so far. Thanks

[@fabzzpagano8635]

I know Floor from Nightwish, but this guy is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!

[@dieseldog00]

The music is from the Marcel Fisser Band from Amsterdam. Her duet partner is Dutch Tenor Henk Poort who Floor idolized from her teen years. He's the reason Floor took opera lessons. She can sing any genre.

[@stephencaveney4840]

Henk poort (who was the phantom in dutch opera for years) would only do this with the nightwish arrangement and also the opportunity to perform with nightwish on tour. Great reaction as always 🤘🤘

[@SYNtemp]

Nice re-packing, thanks for keeping this gem alive :)

[@wren180]

Henk was the Phantom for many years so this role is familiar territory. He is scheduled to join Nightwish in the Netherlands to preform this song with the band this year. Looking forward to the videos since I don't think Marko will preform it on the other dates.

[@billhooks69]

It would be a pity if Marco doesn't perform it. I will be at the Wembley Arena show in December, which closes the European tour, and would love to hear it live rather than on video. I've seen Nightwish a few times now and never seen them perform Phantom.

[@RudyBleeker]

@@billhooks69 Henk Poort is going to be a special guest at the request of Floor at their 2 sold-out shows in the Netherlands, so during those shows he will be the one performing Phanton with Floor and not Marco. I doubt Henk will travel abroad for it though, so you might see Marco singing Phantom in Wembley or (worst case) it might not even be on the set list at all, which I agree would be a shame.

[@ChrisPage68]

Floor revealed the title and tracklisting of the new Nightwish album earlier... 'HUMAN :|: NATURE'. Pre-order from 7th February for release on 10th March.

[@lekalla]

HUMAN. :||: NATURE.

@@Kel.N.RichReactions, I was wondering what was going on. Thanks for the update. I will be on the lookout for more videos now. BTW, Kel with your background, you need to check out some Trans Siberian Orchestra.

[@cambridge5]

Floor Jansen has a fantastic voice, amazing range and power. She is much more rock chick and grisly with Nightwish. I’m not a fan of Phantom of the opera but that rocked. Thanks for sharing, love you guys, keep them coming. 👏 🤟😊

[@Odonsuccess]

Whenever I hear this song, Dracula always comes in my mind, I don't know why!!

[@nicholasbrown1153]

That was freaking AWESOME!!!!

[@StevenEverett7]

I was extremely impressed with both singers. This video was fantastic. Thank you for the post. I saw a reaction elsewhere where the reactor did a comparison between Poort's version of Sound of Silence compared with that of David Draiman's version. I was impressed with both versions but if I was to split hairs I would have to chose David's version. I was surprised to hear Poort using rasp in this song because in SoS he refused to use rasp as David had done. He said he was afraid of damaging his vocal chords. Cheers, Steve

[@zenbra_deutsch3500]

Henk is Floor's idol since she's 12 and the reason she decided to study classical music. Henk Poort was the Dutch Phantom of the Opera back in the 90s. He also used distortion for this song. FYI he has NEVER used distortion before this show when he learned it for when Floor "assigned" him Disturbed's Sound of Silence song to sing. The Dutch show Beste Zangers is not a competition, but rather a group of professional singers getting together in a relaxed setting to sing each other's songs or songs that have special meaning.

[@maddermax74]

you should check out Floor Jansen - Vilja lied | Beste Zangers 2019 she dose an amazing cover to that too or the cover of Shallow on the same show

[@hendrikdevries9725]

She sings a mean O Mio Babbino Caro in a dutch program weeks after she started with Nightwish with interview, try that! Brought me to tears.

[@dominiqueseydoux6022]

Just WOOOOOWWW

[@hollandduck79]

if you think you like this you just MUST see and hear Henk Poort's version of “Sound of Silence” !!! . he does this as an opera singer in a metal version For Floor Jansen ( from nachtwish) because she is part of a metal band and sings. and made it into an ITunes list with this version. Henk Poort (1956) is a Dutch opera and musical singer and a baritone. and was THE Dutch ghost of the Phantom of the Opera from 1993 In 2019 Poort participated in Best Singers, where he took first place in the Dutch iTunes list with his version of “Sound of Silence”.

[@Inreglod]

Ahhhh!! I'm so envious of you guys getting to watch that for the first time. From the same show Floor sings a song called 'Winner', you just can't let that fly under your radar. It is insanely good! (Every song floor does on that show and everywhere else is insanely good) Just a suggestion.

[@TheSpydyr]

@5:48 and I think that Kel had a major Floorgasm! All of these artists did a great job on this season of Beste Zangers, but Floor's was amazing. She did an amazing job with her cover of Lady Gaga's Shallow.

[@drunkpunkforever]

Glad you guys are back

[@zoeystar4668]

So good... Love that performance and also love your new opening segment.

[@japyoo2248]

Awsome performance

[@deb8105]

I just love watching this reaction, Kel looks as though she could use a cigarette after Floors last note 😂

[@andrewmckay362]

So say we all

[@TheMateriaalkunde]

Singing a merciless high note at the conclusion of a song is a trade mark of Floor. She altered Nightwishes 'Ghost Love Score ' accordingly. This epic suite is mostly the conclusion of the show, and all those fans (75,000 or more?) stand in anticipation of the one high note at the end. Check out the concerts at Wacken or Tampere with Floor. She is already famous for her ability to slide from one vocal register into another.

[@emdusha5590]
