Mike and Ginger React to Phantom of the Opera (Beste Zangers 2019) - Floor Jansen and Henk Poort

WE HAVE A NEW MERCH STORE! www.redbubble....
AND colouring books for adults, made by us! www.amazon.com...
Mike and Ginger check out one of Ginger's favourites, The Phantom of the Opera, as performed by the amazing Floor Jansen and Henk Poort.

[@iamsuzanne73]

When the duet aired about a year ago it basically broke the internet. Now a year later it has over 10 million views! Henk was the original Dutch phantom back in the day. He was also Floor’s idol when she was a teenager. So singing with him was a dream come true for her. And yes you are right. Where most singers sing what they can, Floor sings what she wants. She can do anything from opera to death growls. Try her cover of lady Gaga’s Shallow from the same show! Both delicate and very powerful. Even Gaga herself loved her rendition 😍

[@dennypayne]

I think I'm correct in saying that Henk said he had never done growling before this?

[@alanfoster6589]

Where did you see Gaga's reaction?

[@ChrisPage68]

@@alanfoster6589 It was on Instagram apparently.

[@AussieGoblin618]

im not sure how true it is but there was rumour Henk did this as long as they could perform this with nightwish

[@MrHws5mp]

@@AussieGoblin618 Yes Henk said on the show that he agreed to it on condition that he could do it on stage with Nightwish in their Netherlands gigs, although that might have been changed to doing it on Floors solo gigs that followed the success of Beste Zangers. Covid drove a coach and horses through Nightwish's touring schedule this year of course.

[@christomashofski9160]

Oh yes, Floor does delicate! She can melt hearts with her delicate before the first sentence is even over! [ Tuomas: "Floor, we're in the middle of a world tour, and we lost our singer. Can you help us?" Floor: "Yes." Tuomas: "Great! What genres can you sing?" Floor: "Yes." Tuomas: "Well, what era of our catalogue can you sing?" Floor: "Yes." Tuomas: "Can you learn the setlist in only 48 hours?" Floor: "Yes." Beste Zangers: "How many languages can you sing in?" Floor: "Yes." ]

[@GeorgeSchiopu29]

For "Delicate-Floor", like other people said before me - search her rendition of "Shallow" on the same "Beste Zangers" show. Indeed, she can do any-freakking-thing with her voice! Whatever this Lady touches, it's her song, not the original singer's anymore, everyone knows that! :-)

Or "Mamma", for that matter.

Henk Poort played the Dutch versin of THE PHANTOM for many years.

[@ChrisPage68]

He was the original Phantom.

[@embran8486]

@@ChrisPage68 Original Dutch Phantom. The one from London was already playing 7 years before his first performance.

[@embran8486]

Since 1993. So 26 years!

[@leannmiller7153]

Henk was the Dutch Phantom, and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s favorite Phantom. Floor was a huge Henk fan from when she was young. I believe she saw him play the Phantom when she was 12 or 13. They both crushed it❤️❤️❤️

[@embran8486]

It's odd though they made a mistake who sings what mid-way. Floor I get, but Henk? O_O

[@ew56]

D6 for 8 Seconds Henk Poort is a trained opera singer and learnt to distort his voice especially for Floor, evidently distortion is a definite 'no no' in opera. He agreed to do this song with Floor on condition he could do the Nightwish version of Phantom of the Opera when they next came to the Netherlands.

[@notquitemytempo1353]

Unless you've trained and really know how to do it properly, distortion can damage one's voice. Plus, I doubt any classical musician from past centuries wrote any operas with distorted vocals, so it's understandable that these singers never learn how to do it. It's fun that he put the effort though.

[@ew56]

@@notquitemytempo1353 I think the fact that very few people in the Netherlands knew Floor and the way she sang Vilja Lied for him impressed him and they became good friends. Floor tells a story of taking her dog for a walk and hearing it barking and a Moose came by her being chased by a dog and she was on the phone with Henk at the time and she had to hang up on him to chase the dog and the moose, which sounds like a good comedy sketch.

[@brianalmeida1964]

Great reaction guys. The concept of this show is that 7 singers from different genres are gathered together and each week 1 singer is highlighted and the others have to perform either cover versions of the highlighted singer's catalogue or songs that meant something to that highlighted singer. This was from the last episode where the singers had to do duets with another of the singers. In total Floor sang 7 different songs, in 4 different languages, in 8 performances (she sang one song twice. Once solo and once as a duet). Floor actually sang the first and last songs on the show, The Phantom being the show closer. At the time, Floor was relatively unknown in her native Netherlands and she absolutely stunned everyone every week with her outstanding performances. Here are the songs she sang; 1. Vilja Lied - an Aria from The Mery Widow in German 2. Mama - in Dutch 3. Que Se Siente - in Spanish 4. About Love I Don't Know A Thing - in English 5. Shallow - in English 6. Winner - in English 7. Shallow - as a duet with Tim Ackerman in English 8. Phantom Of The Opera - duet with Henk Poort Here's the link for Vijla Lied with the pre and post performance chats with English subtitles (turn on your subtitles). Definitely one to react to!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWWloWqbra-onNU

There're two versions, please the one where she's alone, then the duo ;)

[@Mistrabbit]

Absolutely! The solo version of Shallow she does is an amazing display of being delicate and powerful at the same time. The duo with Tim Ackerman she does on a later episode is a more standard rendition of the song, but also very, very good. .

[@gideonsteijger397]

and...a bit country like..but very delicate...about love i don't know a thing..same show😊

[@anskamp4780]

Sure Floor can do delicate , on this same show she sings Shallow , Winner and About love I Don't Know Much very delicate and for a operetic song she sings Viljalied ! With Nightwish look for Dead Boy's Poem , Sleeping Sun , The Poet and The Pendulum and last but nog least Shoemaker from their new album 😍 ! I hope to see the two of you react to Floor /Nightwish much more , rather sooner then later , keep up the good work 👌 .

[@oktober-vh6gl]

Floor is one of those people that found her calling. Could you imagine if she was a real estate agent or CPA or sitting at some desk somewhere, typing her days away? The world needs her, and the cosmos made sure she found her way to singing, and we are all grateful. We got an added bonus that she found her way to Tuomas and now we have her bringing his imagination to life in NIghtwish. Pure magic. If you haven't hit it yet... Ever Dream from the Wacken show is a must. Really shows her power and you get a dose of Marko too... :)

[@TxFlyBoy1]

Thank you for reacting to Floor and Henk singing the Metal Version of Phantom of the Opera! Glad you enjoyed it! Floor also sings English language songs "Shallow" in a duet with Tim Akkerman, or "Winner", and in Dutch, "Vilja lied". Of course if you'd prefer Spanish, she does an outstanding version of "Que Se Siente". Pour a nice glass of wine (or your personal favorite for relaxing) and enjoy these deeply revealing performances by Floor Jansen in the intimate setting of the Beste Zanger set.

[@athlonen]

Rocking for a musical? You haven't seen anything yet! While you're thinking of the musical, what is great to know is that this is the Nightwish arrangement of the song. They decided to cover this song, as it appeared with this arrangement on their 2002 album "Century Child." It is more known for them performing it live at the show "End of an Era", with their original singer, Tarja Turunen. As everyone has already filled you in as to how Floor performed this with Henk, what is also big about this is with Henk being Floor's idol, Floor asked Henk if she could perform this with him, as he played the Phantom in the Dutch production of the musical. Henk agreed, on the condition that he would get to perform this song with Nightwish when they tour through the Netherlands. That show is still on their world tour schedule.

[@Laiynnalaiynna]

You can easily watch any of Floor's performances on Beste Zangers 2019, especially Shallow will blow you away (talking about delicate). Henk's performance of the Sound of Silence is absolutely amazing as well. Go check it out :)!

...many great songs in this TV series with Floor in them, like "Shallow", Winner" etc. 🤗

[@cyberdan42]

Floor is a generational singer. Henk is the long time and celebrated Dutch stage performer of the Phantom. There are perhaps a half dozen duets in the world that could even approach the talent on display here on a national singing show, Beste Zengers didn't simply hit it out of the park on this season, they invented a new sport.

[@MrHws5mp]

Yay, you did it! I knew you'd love that one. Just had a look through the comments and every suggestion is good, as I've come to expect. The rest of Beste Zangers 2019 is a good showcase for Floor's range, and the performances of the other singers are good too: it's a really good, wholesome show, without any of the manufactured drama of most TV talent shows/competitions. The TV company only put up these vids of the actual songs, which are clipped a bit short, but other people have put up vids of the whole episodes complete with English subtitles, where you get the pre- and post-song chats.

[@AndyMagnusson70]

Me: - How many different styles can you sing? Floor: - Yes.

Floor's tribute song to Henk Poort on Beste Zangers is also great. It was the 1st performance of Beste Zangers 2019.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

For me this is the Duet of the Century! ⛄💃

[@jorluo]

Beste Zangers is originally a Dutch TV show and the format has been broadcast over the years under various names in a number of European countries and also outside Europe. The 11th season of the show started yesterday here in Finland. - This Dutch show with Floor Jansen and 6 other singers representing different genres ( rock, pop, opera, ...) was filmed in Ibiza Spain last year. Each day one of the singers sat on the middle couch with the host (the guy with the dark jacket and a white T-shirt) and talked about his/her life and career and the other singers sang songs of that person's repertoire or songs that have been important to that person. The last day was a duet day and all the singers chose a partner with whom they performed a song that is important to themselves. You should react to all the 6 songs Floor sang to the other singers on this show.

[@chrislee1907]

If you want delicacy, or just to check out Floor's versatility, try all her other performances from this Dutch TV programme. It's a great format, and Floor sings some incredible stuff.

[@theglanconer6463]

Fantastic. Perhaps best duet ever.

[@kimsski2002]

in the show beste zangers, they called henk poort ''Uncle Henk'' because he is like the sweet funny uncle at parties. and he is way older then all of the other people there. but when he started singing, he always sounds so professional and serious. Its amazing because the moment he stops singing he laughs at the people on the couches and he starts cracking jokes again.

So my point stand in the way I just outlined that she should watch it for Marco's performance ! ;) In my own opinion I want to see floor sing it with Marco live lol

I absolutely loved Beste Zangers a friendly Dutch singing contest, the format of the show: all of the people you can see in this video are singers and each week one singer stays on the couch and watches the other singers sing their songs, episode 4 was Floor's time on the couch, the other singers sang Nightwish songs and songs from Floors past and songs that were important to Floor. The stand out performances for me were from Emma Heesters (the young blond woman) and Samantha Steenwijk Emma sang a song that Floor wrote with her old band 'After Forever' an emotional song about her Mother's constant pain from arthritis, Emma was incredible: Emma Heesters sings Strong for Floor Jansen Beste Zangers 2019 Eng.

Of course, you know of Nightwish which I recommend, but In Beste Zangers 2019 she sings everything from opera (the Vilja Liet), to metal, country, pop, musicals, salsa, and everything in between. She sings in English, German, Spanish, and Dutch. The other singers on the couch are also very very good. I recommend the entire season. A couple of you tubers, jenniezelf and Denise Hofs, have provided entire episodes with English subtitles.

Floor has done opera: Oh mio Babbino Caro, it is on KZbin. For a Dutch tv show. Also she did a classic opera piece with Epica, live. I think it is called Stabat Matar Delarosa or something like that. For delicate floor; check out Strong or Bridle Passion from her recent solo tour (2019). For powerful Floor, check out nightwish Yours is an Empty hope, Ever Dream, Ghost River (Wacken 2013) or 7 days to the wolves, Weak Fantasy (Wembley). Enjoy the ride!

She is the one.... And on that final note, I think even cats jumped off the couches😂

[@dmann05]

Henk is an opera legend from the Netherlands (this was a TV show from that country). You saw the final performance of the final episode of the season, and the crack of thunder at the start of the video was not a sound effect. Huge storm broke out during this final performance, which made it even more epic. Watch any of Floor's performances from Beste Zangers, and if you want another example of Henk's voice watch his performance of 'Vivo Per Lei' from this same finale episode with Emma Heesters. He learned to do distortion just for Floor, it is the opposite of everything he had been trained to do as a singer. He did it first for Song of Silence, then again in this performance with Floor. They are performing the Nightwish arrangement of Phantom of the Opera, and if you're curious to hear the band perform it there is an older live video with their original singer Tarja, who was even more operatic and over the top than Floor. That is not a criticism of Floor btw, her restraint and control is what gives her so much power, and you can already hear her range. If you want to hear her use more of her range, check out Song of Myself live from Wacken 2013.

[@hermenw.huiskamp8555]

Henk used to play the Phantom(think it was in the Netherlands), he added the growl part at the end which is usually a big No No for opera singers. Henk was one of Floor's inspirations growing up.

Henk was the original Phantom in the Netherlands, and one of Andrew Lloyd Weber's favorite Phantoms. He is also Floor's childhood heroes. She blew him away doing this show, and he did the metal growl just for her. That's why she had a big reaction....imagine, on national TV, your hero gives a tribute to YOUR talent. Can''t buy moments like that... As for Floor herself...may singers sing what they can, what is comfortable. Floor sings whatever the hell she wants to sing. I mean, I've heard her do....anything, everything. There is a KZbin vid of her doing an aria from Puccini...O mio babbina caro. Ginger may like that....

For a completely different side of Floor: „Yours an empty hope“ from Wembley. And have a close look who‘s singing what. From their new album I can strongly suggest to listen to the lyric video of „Shoemaker“ (about Eugene Shoemaker) which is such a heavenly and epic song with the most epic possible ending. And an operatic part as well.

HI Mike and Ginger, Thanks for the reactions. Just discovered you guys and have enjoyed your reactions so far. Sorry if I'm a little late to the party and excuse me if someone else has already mentioned it. So, Beste Zangers translates to "Best Singers" is a Dutch seasonal television show that features different well known artists, all those folks sitting on the couches. They perform songs for each other and often each others songs. The upbeat version of this song is from the Nightwish realm and one that they often perform on tour. Henk plays the Phantom on stage in the Netherlands. Henk and Floor both are fans of each other so they had a great time performing this version together. Floor performs many different songs in several languages on this show throughout the season. She is an extremely talented singer and as many before me have mentioned, Floor sings what she wants. I know we are all looking forward to both of you discovering more on your Nightwish journey.

Henk Poort is the Dutch Phantom and Opera singer. Henk had to learn how to sing growl for this song. He is one of Floor's idols.

Floor absolutely nails it but so does Henk. That last "sing for me " was so powerful it was picked up by both microphones which created a slight reverb effect.
