Henk Porte Reaction Sound of Silence Beste Zangers

[@lieven2292]

Floor was (and is!!) one of Henk's biggest admirers/fans, and she was so proud she could first convince him, and second teach him, how to sing with distortion..., 'cause as you know, this kind of singing is a very, very big no-no in Henk's classical circles... Great job!

[@AndreSomers]

AFAIK it wasn’t Floor who taught him, but his vocal coach. It was a surprise for Floor he used this technique.

[@charlyvanbuuren2947]

Yes, that's uncle Henk. No wonder Floor is a fan since her early teens...Will you do Vivo per lei Henk and Emma in the same show is spectaculair?!

Floor sav him perform on stage as a young teen. She has been a big fan of him since. He was the dutch ( netherlands ) Phantom of the opera. According to Andrew Lioyd Webber he was the Best Phantom he had heared. Henk sings both Opera and Operetta

[@renevw5812]

Henk Poort is a very well known international singer and the hero of Floor. You did hear why. As you problebly know singing with distortion as a classical singer is like cursing in the church. But this was the first time he did growling. Specially for Floor. And this is the best version of the song since times. Here in The Netherlands we are blessed with some fantastic singers. Floor Jansen, Simone Simons, Charlotte Wessels, Glennis Grace (just has the same voice as Whitney Housten, people say she is the reincarnation of her), Anneke van Giersbergen, Zora Cock, Lisette van den Berg, go on and on and on.

During Lockdown Henk and Floor did a duet of Dangerous Game from the stage show Jekkyl and Hyde. You can find it on Floor's KZbin channel. Brilliant bearing in mind they were hundreds of miles apart at the time. p.s., The reason Floor wasn't so well known in the Netherlands is because of what is played on Radio. In Finland Metal is regularly on the Radio. in the Netherlands virtually never. The metalheads always knew her.

Floor has been a big fan of Henk’s since she saw him in Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables…and agreed to do the show when she heard he was going to be a participant. He also duets on Floor on one of her solo songs…Dangerous Game. That one is worth a listen, too. Oh…and Suesue…good hair day! 😊☮️

I know everybody will request Vivo per lei with Emma Heesters (which is absolutely fantastic) but one of the highlights with Henk for me was his performance of Noelia for Rolf, so emotional and powerful at the same time. So if you find time and opportunity ....

[@marinamucic908]

Amazing rendition of this song, I love how Hank learned to sing with distortion just for Floor. You should check out their cover of the song Dangerous Game from Jekyll and Hyde musical, their chemistry in that song is fantastic. While we're at the Sound of Silence, you should also check out Tommy Johansson's cover of that song, totally different feel because he did it as a tribute to friend who passed away

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

We reacted to dangerous game ! 👍🏼

[@agegroot5666]

My compatriot was off the radar for a long time. Became known about 30 years ago,wasn't a fan because i don't like musicals. He wasn't in a cave but it seems he was singing abroad in opera's and doing other projects. Participating in that program brought him back in the spotlights and how? His participations showed what an excellent singer he is. Could have been a rocksinger as well. It seems Floor Jansen wanted him on that programm and those two titans made the 2019 edition the best ever.

I'm lazy and I don't want to read the comments below me because I already know what everyone's going to say LOL but he was singing this song for her I believe this was one of floors songs that her father used to sing to her........ She more or less kind of idolized Henk when she was growing up and now they are touring together so it's just magical.

[@Indylimburg]

Glad to see you had similar reactions to myself.

[@okiejohn3925]

Henk sang this directly to Floor because it was her episode to be performed for....and Henk learned to do distortion specifically for this performance, and I think THAT blew Floor away. He said in the after discussions that, as an opera singer, distortion in the voice is always a big no-no, and if you did it they would say, "Next!" and pass on you.

[@zoeystar4668]

This one is several notches better than the Disturbed version, in my opinion. Henk has performed with Floor at all her solo concerts. "Dangerous Game" is another great duet they do from the musical Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. I believe Henk is still scheduled to perform with Nightwish in November. I hope the concert is professionally filmed. Tuomas may have Henk sing a couple Nightwish songs as well for that specific concert. The prospects are exiting to think about. Much love to my favorite Skunk Puppets. Have a great day.. 🙂

There is this nice thing just before his performance (I have seen it in the version of the show with subtitles) when Floor said to him - „You're Henk Poort. You can sing anything.” We have this opinion about Floor and she thinks this about Henk. :)

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Imagine the impact Floor had made on Henk, to get him to learn distortion and a metal version of a ballad - just to surprise her!!! He succeeded big time, and this version of the song - if you play it against the Disturbed version - Henk's voice are superb and at least equal to the Disturbed version - in my opinion.

If you want to see another one from the show featuring Henk: try Vivo per Lei. It’s also a duet

I can't remember who it was (I'm sure someone will post it here now) but someone posted on KZbin this season of the show with English subtitles. It is well worth searching to find them if they are still up. I find this show amazing as I am sure it would never catch on here in the States as it isn't a competition. it is just a collections of singers from different genres taking turns paying tribute to each other. They highlight one person per episode and sing a song of theirs or a song that means something to them. To hear them speak about each other the way they do is pretty incredible.

[@bettymajoor]

Paul H, on dailymotion.

[@geertdelange4785]

They are all singers and doing each others songs. Of course Floor is a fan of Henk, and the reason she's joined this show. And the amazing Henk Visser band on the back ground. Als Floor's band at her first solo show and all the Beste Zangers performances

[@teonaj5144]

Its the Marcel Fisser band

[@roeloftooms]

The show takes 7 singers from different genres and put them together. In every episode one will be placed central and others will sing a song for him/her that has a meaning, in this episode Floor was put central.. That can be fun but also emotional. In the show they do talk about what is so special and other life experiences. The 8th episode is the fun duet where each singer has to choose one of the others to sing a duet, Floor did in total 3 duets that season final episode. Because there are singers from different genres they have to step out their own musical comfort zone or change a song within their comfort zone, Henk did step out but showed he can do it all You can find the clips with the talking up to full episodes with english subs on the youtube channel of paul h.

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Thank you so much for all this info !

[@bettymajoor]

Floor did 2 duets, Tim Akkerman did 3. One of which was with Floor.

[@Drinckx2]

This was Floor's episode, so Henk is singing this for her. They have worked together since on her solo shows and she on his. They also collaborated on another duet, from the musical version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The other singers are getting into this too, I don't get any sense of disinterest from them.
