Henk's mother used to sing this to Henk as a young boy. This is why Floor chose to sing this song for Henk. Floor was also actually the first performance of the very first episode of the 12th season. She started the show and set the bar very high indeed. Floor was the only singer who performed an operatic aria for Henk. Loved it Constanza. Beautifully done once again. Peace.

[@athlonen]

Rumor has it that the seismograph readings throughout the Netherlands wasn't an earthquake or landslide, but was from the jaws of every Netherlander dropping to the floor after seeing this performance. Also, because of this performance and her appearance on Beste Zangers, Nightwish charted in the Netherlands for the first time, especially for their end-of-year songs countdown.

[@colingreengrass6751]

A lot of great performances on this show, not just from Floor. But she did kind of steal the show every week :)

[@shrike6259]

well yes compared to her and henk the rest are just rank amateurs.

[@okiejohn3925]

Her interpretation of Lady Gaga's "Shallow" in a later episode is otherworldly...then in the duets final episode she does the same song as a duet with Tim (the guy with the beard) with a totally different interpretation that also ROCKS!

[@damonbryan7232]

Floor holds back in the version to Emma. Then belts it out in the duet with Tim. Both are just beautiful.

[@okiejohn3925]

@@damonbryan7232 Yes, she "artsy-fartsy"-ed the hell outta the solo (it was AMAZING), she used most of the crayons in her jumbo pack of vocal coloring crayons... and she went more traditionally Lady Gaga Belt-y for the duet.

First song of the first episode and you can already tell that everyone else are happy the whole tv show is a celebration and not a competition

This was the opening performance of the season, so can you imagine being the other singers, knowing that you have to follow that.

[@clivematthews5296]

This her first introduction to all the other Dutch singers and she blew them away with her ability. She was a huge fan of Henk since she was a little girl. Every song she sang on this show was a revelation. Magnificent.

[@jameskellison9342]

She showed up and displayed her immense talent. Everyone knew at that moment that she was the best singer they had ever seen.

Floor is the best from Holland ❤❤❤❤

Two commercial radio stations in Finland that are profiled as rock 'n roll music playing stations. They play quite a lot heavy/metal music too. My personal opinion is that they should update their playlists way more often than they do. But here is two links to web radios. Radio Rock: www.radiot.fi/kanavat/radio-rock Radio City: radioplay.fi/radio-city/player/?region=cf1

[@damonbryan7232]

I loved Floors night on the couch. Tim's nemo starting it off. Then sting. Then Emma doing Floors song strong. Sleeping Sun by Sam. Then Latin version of Hotel California was interesting. Then uncle Henk show stopping version of sound of silence. The look on his face at the end. That "hope that didn't suck" look at Floor. Priceless.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Sabaton and Arch Enemy are Swedish Metal bands 💪🎶👍 Floor lives in Sweden now for several years allready.

[@jord001]

Sitting here with tears in my eyes, remembering the first time I watched and heard this and it still gets me. Floor was first up with the first song of the show, The other singers had only learned a little bit about Floor and she was in a metal band, they hadn't got a clue what Floor sounded like and I BET they didn't expect that. You can see they were amazed and Henk loved it.

[@phillee2814]

It may have been me who referenced this song from "The Merry Widow", as well as the fact tha it was the opening performance of the whole series - so with Floor singing FOR Henk in this and WITH Henk in "Phantom" they topped and tailed the whole series! And I knew you'd recognise it, even if you didn't know it by name. And of course, she kills it! Some heads exploded at that moment :-) I've since adepted what Henk said - "Good music is good music". I look forward particularly to when you get to "Winner" for Tim Akkerman. Have tissues handy!

[@vibingwithvinyl]

3:15 Completely true. Well, at least it's a lot more mainstream here than in most countries. I remember couple of years ago I went to the post office at around Christmas to send a parcel and was just minding my own business, until I suddenly realised "Wait a minute! This isn't your typical xmas tunes they're playing...?" And no, it wasn't. It was Iron Maiden. Iirc the song was Wasted Years. Made me smile.

[@bertjones3010]

Hello Constanza. I just found your channel due to this listing. While I'm not much into symphonic rock/metal (not a knock on the genre, just not into it any more), Floor is a master of her instrument, probably the best of those that cover multiple genres in the world today. And while I don't present the following women as competitive rivals each represents outstanding mastery of their instruments each representing the past three decades and multiple genres. All three are independent artists. The oldest of these is Morgan James (30s) who has some classical background, done Broadway, been a featured performer with PostModern Jukebox (Dream on) and a prodigious independent artist (the entire Beatles White album) on her channel. She also is a wicked comedian. In her late twenties is Hailey Reinhart with four albums covering jazz, country, 70s rock, and pop genres. She also has been a featured performer with PMJ (7 Nation Army, Creep, Black Hole Sun). She's a voice actor, movie actor, and done commercials. One of the most reacted to performers on YTube over the past 18 months has been the now 17 year old, Russian contralto Diana Ankudinova, whose unique vocal range has stunned almost all who have heard her for the first time. She sings in English, Spainish, French, Arabic in addition to her native language. Singing on the Russian tv show "You Are Super" she won two successive seasons with outstanding performances of Derniere Danse, It's a Man's World, Rechenka, Wicked Game and Human when she 14 & 15. Here genres span from soul, rock, pop, jazz, and traditional Russian folk. She is currently working on her first independently produced album. Her channel has hundreds of live performances recorded over the past decade. Bottom line here, each of these three will bring traffic of different fans who support their fav. Of the three, Diana will probably bring the most, but as I said at the beginning, all three will impress with their mastery of their instrument.

[@jerrypapadatos1210]

Shallow and Momma are 2 of my favorite Floor perfomances from this show

[@eTraxx]

Watching Floor in such a personal setting lets us see her as a person and think .. "Darn. I would love to BBQ with Floor and friends and have a few beers. I have to say that .. commenting back on your opening statement .. we get to watch YOU react and I can't help but thinking much the same about you. Wonderful thing technology sometimes to make the world so much smaller - where what we might call our "neighbor" is expanded greatly ...

[@anskamp4780]

You could see that the other participants where alle in awh , because exept one of them they did not know what Floor is capable of ! Great reaction , please react to more songs from Floor in this show , it is realy , realy worth while 😍 .

[@phillipgross1887]

great reaction as always, glad you finally did a Beste......they are all worth seeing, Floor does not disappoint, as you saw by their reactions, they really didn't have a clue what to expect, and that continues each week as she sings in spanish, italian, dutch, and varing styles every week, but always puts a metal touch to them. Shallow, Que si siente, about love I think you'll enjoy. Keepem coming.

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

Great reaction Costanza. It was a confluence of events but it started here, this and the unforeseen COVID producing her solo tour and ultimately the string of covers she is putting out.

[@deed5811]

Vilja Lied is from Franz Lehár's the Merry Widow operetta.

[@juliannewarren5466]

All Beste Zangers songs are solid. When it comes to Nightwish, I recommend Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean (live Buenos Aires 2018), The Poet and the Pendulum (live Wembley 2015) and The Greatest Show On Earth (live Tampere 2015).

[@johnmc128]

Good one as usual, can't get enough Floor. This is where they first hear Floor.

[@jennienoppers210]

The blond woman in black is Samantha Steenwijk. She sings a Nightwish song for Floor. theman next to that is Rolf Sanchez Floor sings one of his Spanish song for him. The blind woman in white is Emma Heesters. Floor sings her solo Shallow for her and Emma sings a beautiful after forever song (Strong) for Floor. the man with the cirkel on his shirt is Tim Akkerman he sings Nemo for Floor and the man with the white t-shirt is Ruben Annink. Floor sings his song about love I don’t know a thing.

[@wernergatterer2953]

Helllo! I'm always happy when i see a new reaction from you, i like them very much and i like you because you are always really nice. Floor was the Highlight in the Beste Zangers NED 2019 show because her songs get better and better, you see her The Phantom of the opera duett with Henk and now Vilja Lied, The Phantom is georgius and Vilja Lied in that stile is also great and you have right, it looks always so easy when she sing, but it's not my favorite, 3 songs she sang there i like much more (after The Phantom🖤), Winner and Que se siente (in spanish) are great but i love her cover from the Lady Gaga song Shallow, it's really great and i'm sure you also will like it. I hope you do reactions from this songs, i think you like all 3 but shallow for sure. I wish you a very nice weekend, keep care of you and see you next time! 🤘

[@jimrentz]

I watched all eight weeks of Beste Zangers 2019. It started off as a thing just to hear Floor, but then I fell in love with the music of the other singers. I loved it when they would perform each other's music, especially when the song was written by the other artist. Such as Floor performing Rubin's "About Love I Don't Know A Thing" or Emma doing Floor's song "Strong". One of the highlights of the show was Floor doing Tim Akkerman's song "Winner". There were some songs on the show that I liked better than others but no really bad songs...And Besides...Where else you going to hear an Opera singer do Country Music??? I would suggest that even if you didn't want to do anymore reactions to Beste Zangers 2019 that you listen to the whole show just for your own pleasure. I know that once I started with 2019 I found that I was going back to previous years and listening to what turned out to be some very amazing music. The previous years was where I found O'G3NE, the sister trio act that seems to have stolen everyone's heart that has heard them, and Davina Michelle, that blew PINK away with a cover of one of PINK's songs. You do this reacting thing really well and I'll be watching out for you as time permits.

[@Blayz001]

I love how only Tim Akkerman had ever heard her before, and the rest of them only know her as a heavy metal vocalist. And either Floor or the showrunners leaned into that preconception and had her all dressed up in heavy-metal style. Seeing how they react is the best.

Thanks for your reaction. Your pronunciation of Beste zangers is excellent. Most other reactors don't manage that as well. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@papaverweg]

Constanza, your pronunciation of 'Dear Singers' was absolutely correct. Well done. That Floor has definitely brought about something in the Netherlands is evident from 2 things: - 1st “Singer Floor Jansen has won the Dutch Popprijs 2019” that same year with the following argumentation: “According to the jury, Jansen has proved that she is one of the best and most versatile singers in the Netherlands, but also through the concerts with her bands. The jury appreciates that her music "has a connecting force beyond the subculture". - 2nd Dutch Public radio made this statement: “Finnish metal band Nightwish will release their ninth studio album HUMAN on April 10th. : II: NATURE. from. Frontwoman Floor Jansen announced this on social media ”. - That was previously unthinkable. Metal music by Nightwish was in that same year 2019 for the very first time in Dutch history represented on the Radio "Top2000" list and the following year even more higher. No. 365: "Ghost Love Score" and No. 576 "Élan" in the Top2000. On top of that, Floor’s duet at Beste Zangers with Henk Poort No. 105 "The Phantom of the Opera" and remarkable rising. One request on behalf of all not native Dutch speakers: could you make those English subtitles visual on screen?

[@theroachden6195]

There were some good singers her and Henk were competing against, anf you can tell they were like "what's a metal singer gonna do here?" But she set the tempo and crushed them. They knew from then on they couldn't keep up. Only Henk could match her in power and skill.

[@wannabedane4046]

Hey Constanzan. Oh yes, you will react to all Floor songs from Beste Zangers, when you get started. Maybe not the duet, and that's okay, for me at least, but the rest is grand Also, Floor has done some beautiful covers since Covid-19 started, very good to react to as well. or if not, to see and listen to on your own. Go for it... ;o) Peace

Not only Floor Jansen, there are more terrific female fronted metal singers in the Netherlands.

Such a shame ! Please react also to them, starting for instance with the song Rivers from Epica I would recommend.

Only Tim Akkerman knows Floor before this show. The producers throw the "Metal girl" in for the refreshing the lame show. And they all faced the real Queen. It was so hilarious to witness (when you know how is going to happen). "Vilja lied" or "Vilja song" is from the Austrian composer Franz Lehar's operetta "die Lustige Wittwe" or "the Merry Widow". A very popular song. And Floor's rendition is a excellent one. But how on earth you managed to destroy Jenniezelf's subtitles?
