Emma Heesters - Strong | Beste Zangers 2019 *For Eric

[@fnglert]

Floor said in the show that when she met Emma, she had no idea how they would relate, what they'd have in common, because of the age difference and completely different backgrounds. But they're both just female singers who love their mothers, and what more in common do you need, she said.

[@KristinKali]

fnglert👊❤️That’s exactly right! That is truly the end of it... we are human... if we take everything away.. we all have parents... and for the most part we LOVE our parents.,, this was emotional & I was moved 🙏💕

[@allardbiggenvanger3480]

never Judge a book by its cover.... Emma you just suprised the heck out of alot of Nightwish fans

[@renskevanderhaagen5813]

Allard Biggenvanger especially because in the first episode Emma did not do a great job. She just chose the wrong song in the first episode. But she nailed Strong bigtime. Loved it.

[@Green-Lyon]

Luckily we now can judge Emma by her "cover." Her "Strong" will be one of the highlights of the season!

[@banderezztonylapore9493]

Throughout the show I couldn’t really read how Emma was taking to floor... when she blew that kiss at the end it was so emotional and authentic. In that moment I realized Emma is just as in love with floor as the rest of us... Such a beautiful moment!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@KristinKali]

Banderezz Tony LaPore 👊❤️you caught that! Yeah! I almost lost it again! That was brilliant and was a flash of humility!

[@bradhulton8224]

Floor wrote this for her mother who suffers with chronic pain, Emma related to it because her mother is a cancer survivor.

A tip: watch series on kaldrostream. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@mohamedezequiel9458]

@Lian Cassius Yup, have been watching on Kaldrostream for since november myself =)

[@Curtes69]

"when Floor cries we cry" I so agree with you. This was so beatyful they all have such powerful voice, and Emma did it just perfectly, thank you for the reaction 😘

Metal Horta 👊❤️Thankyou Metal ... this was beautiful.. this was for moms.. and love & it was moving... ☺️💕

[@Greyhound53200]

Hi Kristin! That was a touching rendition by Emma of Floor's song Strong wasn't it? Don't be afraid to show your emotions; Floor didn't, the other singers didn't and I, a 6ft4 male didn't as well. It was Floor's turn this week to be the guest of honor on the couch. Unfortunately no singing Floor this week but what we did get were the contributions of the other 6 singers by singing one of her songs or a song from her personal wishlist. I've seen commenters on your page ask themselves the question what this show is all about. Let me try to explain. It is about Dutch singers coming from different musical styles honoring one of them (each week a different one) by singing to him/her as described above. It's no competition but at the end of each episode the guest of honor announces by which performance he/she was moved most. The show is also about showcasing how professional singers that don't know each other personally more and more get to know each other and (learn to) appreciate and admire each other's qualities and having a good time with each other. So, in order to get that special feel for the show it would help to see the full episode and of course, since we're the Nightwish Army, it would be super to be able to watch that full episode dedicated to Floor. Unfortunately......the show is in dutch. A real pain in the ass if it comes to understanding the show, isn't it? Well.......IT ISN'T ANYMORE !!! There is a Nightwish/Floor contributer like yourself called Denise Hofs. Unlike you she doesn't do reactions - as far as I know of - but she contributes by presenting the full show through KZbin and CREATING ENGLISH SUBTITLES for all of the 55 minutes lasting show!!! Now, fasten your seatbelts....... She created those subtitles of episode 4 (Floor as guest of honor) within 24 hours after the show was broadcasted LYING IN A HOSPITAL BED AFTER SHE UNDERWENT SURGERY!!!!!!! Yes, heroes still exist and this one even doesn't wear a cape. In my book she is on par with the great Ann Waychoff in displaying what fan devotion encompasses. Floor herself is in total admiration of Denise's effort and expressed her gratitude in a personal comment under Denise's video . I'm promoting this because I strongly feel Denise deserves it for all her efforts and I am 100% convinced that reactors like you receive a bunch of extra background information giving more insight in what this show embodies. Curious? Here is the link to her video (oh, and don't forget to press that subtitles button!): kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJrUaneuesirfbs Enjoy !!!

[@Immortall1408]

She truly does deserve it.

[@GiGi-yr7oq]

@greyhound53200 Wow...you did a terrific job by desribing the essence of the show. You'll have to send your comment to Denise (maybe you allready did) Great respect to you...thanx!! And Emma, she did a fantastic rendition of this beautiful song. With her unique sound&the lyrics from Floor, the background of both ladies with their mom, she touched my heart so deeply. Wow!!

Good song!

[@Immortall1408]

Hello. Others have already pointed the reason Floor had for writing this song. She was so emotionally connected to the song that live performances became mentally draining - to even just keep it together on the stage. She stopped singing it and even listening to it later on. That is why I was quite surprised that it would be performed by somebody there. If you want to hear Floor singing it live, I am including a link with a performance from 2007 in which she is accompanied only by a piano - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHimoJyJjL-dg5Y

[@KristinKali]

Immortall1408 👊❤️Thankyou! Bc you know I want to see/hear/feel this! This was so emotional... my walls came down ... str8t down ... I’m still impressed

[@rinouitslag9085]

Tanks for the nice reaction...love tis show....I think she was never in a podium she just singing in KZbin was never singing live just KZbin more amazing. ....Floor say before the show started wath connection I can have with her...and than after the show she say I have oll the connection because it is music dat bring feelings together. ..❤ Before the song they talked about the song, Floor wrote it for her mother who has rheumatism and a lot of pain but she said her mother is such a strong woman, Floor was already crying before the song. The girl who is singing talked about her own mother who is also strong after having cancer. So it was just all very emotional. Emma did a beautiful job with the song. You should also react to Henk Poort (the older gentleman, he is a well-known opera singer and surprised everyone with his performance)

I wanted to reach through the TV screen and hug our friend. I owe a lot of who I am to my own Mum, who also lives daily pain as a result of having to do a lot for me physically since I was born. She's waiting for knee replacements but has to shed a lot of weight before that can happen. Love you, Mum - and you, K! 😘 ❤️

[@KristinKali]

PageMonster 👊❤️Awww, love you PM! And moms will always do for their children... real moms I mean!! We love our babies no matter how old they are!

[@ChrisPage68]

@@KristinKali I just wish my parents hadn't had to pay such a heavy price in terms of their physical health. We lived in a small house on a council housing estate (in American terms "the projects"), and when I got too big to carry upstairs, Mum had to write to various charities to fund a stairlift for me. Consequently, she and Dad both had back and knee problems. I also now have shoulder and elbow problems from decades of wheelchair use. None of us complain, because there was no alternative. Money doesn't suddenly drop from the sky, apparently. Who knew? 💸🤷

[@rosonairy9489]

I am kind jealous from the one how recommend Emma. Listen her covers like side to side, attention,fake love ,etc.... she is batter than 90 percents from the majors artist in these days ⚘⚘⚘..oh with the tears Kris

[@stevebennett9750]

I Think all the singers put on their "A" game for Floor. Even Henk Poort, an opera singer did a cover of Sound of Silence in the same style as the Disturbed cover.

[@danellwein8679]

yes … he did a really good job in singing that …

The original Version was written by Floor for her Mother and was a Song from her former Band AFTER FOREVER....

[@ronaldderooij1774]

It takes a special kind of courage to sing a song for Floor and not mess up. Especially at her age.
