Henk Poort - Sound of Silence | Beste Zangers Reaction

[@jukkahelminen9071]

He is 63 years old opera singer (and also musicals). It was also first time in his life to use distortion... In last episode he and Floor will do a duet, Phantom of the Opera. Waiting that, still 3 weeks !!!

[@robertcraane7910]

Done 50 operas, 35 musicals, movies, tv.. he is a true icon of Dutch music for over 30 years....

[@JayTor2112]

He's a full fledged opera singer, so he was totally out of his comfort zone singing this way, with distortion. But it seems he can do about anything, just like Floor., he did a country song for Ruben yesterday.

[@similartracks]

btw.. Floor looks up to Henk.. has a huge amount of respect for him.. the finale tracks leaked.. Floor and Henk will perform Phantom of the Opera

[@Darth_Roger98]

Are you serious????

[@similartracks]

@@Darth_Roger98 the finale tracks leaked out

[@NMG722]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Floor and Henk ... I will definitely die

[@paco_granados]

I can say, regardless the song or genre, Floor, Henk... any of the 6 there, they have shown why they are "Beste Zangers", best singers, los mejores cantantes.. this was amazing, and as you said.. Floor's smile through the song was beautiful... Thanks Ryan!!

[@oceansoul085]

His voice is something else. I love it. I’m really glad this show has given me rather chance to learn that he exists. If you haven’t seen Rolf Sanchez’s take on Hotel California for Floor, it’s definitely worth a look. Because it’s one of those songs that everyone knows, they’re all super into it and it’s a lot of fun to watch.

[@markschattefor6997]

Yes, Hotel California with an unexpected twist.

[@j0hnn13K]

dont forget that Rolf's voice, surprisingly fits the song extremely well :D

[@trinxikene]

Damn. Henk has such a great voice. Iam still listening this song on repeat. I am glad you reacted to this! :D

[@MaddogJones]

Wow, really cool that he did the David Draiman rendition.. I was expecting the Simon and Garfunkel style... cool.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

He is an Idol of Floor, Yes Floor has an Idol

[@autohmae]

We all have idols, don't we ? Even those who have 'made it', at least if they stayed grounded and didn't get a ridiculously inflated ego. They are those who inspired us or if we are lucking they are our teachers. Even if we by-pass our teachers we usually still have a huge respect for them. It's especially beautiful to see your idol do something so new to them and see them do so well.

[@j0hnn13K]

Such a great, great version of one of the best songs in music history. It's no surprise, that with the popularity of that song, that video is currently the most watched video of the season :D People all over the globe are falling in love with Henk and Henk's version of this song, and it's well deserved. Ty for the reaction :)

[@Kimobubby]

❤️❤️🙏🙏🤟🤟

[@robertcraane7910]

Hahaha...Henk is going to tour The Netherlands with Floor, I got tickets!!!

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

This man is so impressive on this song. We loved this performance and enjoyed your reaction. We heard he and Floor are gonna do a Phantom of the Opera duet. No idea how true that is, but that would be cool.🧡

[@similartracks]

Henk was nervous.. hes a professional opera singer.. he stated mixing distortion with opera is a huge no no.. but of respect for Floor he did it i think the pronounciation is "best zingers" as in best singers

[@kiekendiefje]

No the 'a' in zangers is more pronounced like the 'u ' in bummer

[@robertrijkers4923]

the title could mean two things in dutch ... best singers (most obvious as in quality)... or dear singers (as in an adress as the way they are performing to eachother)

[@atlanteean]

hey, Ryan. Floor just put another song like 3 hours ago..is there any surprise if i say it's stunning? Henk was really good, i like his voice very much

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Amazing live performance without any auto tuning like that in David Draiman's performance on Conan in 2016, although David claims that they auto tuned him against his wishes. And sitting on a stool no less, which is even more amazing as it's a lot harder to sing sitting down.

[@hds66nl29]

Say about David what you will, but he seems an honest performer. During that Conan performance he was quite ill so they had the auto tune ready "just in case" although David said:"Uuuh, no way, guys". They used it anyway and you can see David being annoyed by it when it kicked in.

[@Nick-iz9zo]

He has a very soothing voice. Would be interesting to hear Henk, Floor, and Marco together (at least to me)

[@nicj.tessier1689]

He was Andrew Loyd Webers favorite PHANTOM of all time...!!!

[@christinaalgate4899]

The week after this Henk sings a country song and it was good.

[@similartracks]

Ryan..this guy did a country track on tonights show.. hes very versitile.. probably the only one on Floor's level when it comes to versitility

[@ronaldboers8061]

He might be the closest to Floors level but there nobody equal to her. :-)

[@haukikannel]

Definitely!

[@mp.e2104]

his song and the way of singing is completely outside of his comform zone, he practiced 2 hours for this voice

[@haukikannel]

You should watch one full show! It is very interesting because you hear the backrounds of each song!

[@rilenevanderzon7929]

If you want to see the whole episode.. Denise Hoffs has the hole version on youtube translated for you guy's that don't understand dutch.

[@moontje1979]

its caalled Best singers . They pick some of the best dutch singers and let them sing each others songs or the songs one of them really love . Floor loves the sound of silence song so Henk went out of his confort zone and nailed the song .

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

That's why they're the "best singers".👍

[@roywall8169]

I thought of Johny Cash doing Hurt. Well done.

[@muylae]

Henk Poort ... totally Johny Cash'd it

[@halloweennr2]

Right? Right!

[@michaeldougherty2807]

Dutch network. I believe that episode 6 is Emma, a KZbin cover singer. And Floor will do Lady Gaga - Shallow.

[@rikvanommen9564]

From the site tvgids.tv (www.tvgids.tv/tv/beste-zangers/22973673): Emma Heesters staat centraal in deze aflevering. Deze 23-jarige zangeres heeft een eigen KZbin-kanaal waarop zij regelmatig een nieuwe cover plaatst. Met ruim anderhalf miljoen abonnees heeft zij het grootste KZbin-coverkanaal in Nederland. Henk Poort duikt in het diepe met zijn vertolking van 'Despacito' en Samantha Steenwijk zingt een heel persoonlijk nummer voor Emma uit haar verleden: 'Geloof in jezelf'. Floor Jansen doet het kippenvel op de armen staan met haar versie van 'Shallow'. Translated into English: "Emma Heester is sitting in the hotseat in this episode. The 23 year old singer has her own youtube channel on which she posts new covers regularly. With more than 1,5 million subscribers she has the largest youtube cover channel in The Netherlands. Henk Poort goes out of his comfortzone with his interpretation of 'Despacito' and Samantha Steenwijk sings a very personal song for Emma from her past: 'Geloof in jezelf' (Believe in yourself). Floor Jansen makes a goosebump version of 'Shallow'."

[@enigmaticottawa]

If you haven't already done so, check out Denise Hofs' (kzbin.info) channel. She's posting English (subtitled) translations of each episode of Beste Zangers in its entirety. It's a great show in that there's no competition. Just some really, really good singers sharing their talent with each other.

[@jandouwes6149]

The parts that are blocked on yt can be found on dailymotion. It's all out there!

[@TheJolanda01]

He is a Operasinger

Are you a son of Henk Poort? I see some similiarity ;)

[@Kimobubby]
