Powerful voice! Henk Poort | The Sound of Silence | Beste Zangers | First time Reaction/Review

[@johnlindquist1784]

Just the idea that a baritone can get up into a tenors range with no problem is an indication of this man's power and capabilities. He's a beast.

[@generalsaufenberg4931]

indeed. but it helps a lot, when you are doing this for a few decades^^ i like floors reaction to this song^^ kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZC2ZpaOl72YY5Y 🤣

Henk Poort & Emma Heesters - Vivo per lei

[@RonniePeterson]

This one was sung for Floor so he went heavy for her! Seriously in your own time or as a reaction any of the other solo and/or duets are just awesome with this group of singers.

[@liesjedegie1001]

This is our Ome Henk🥰 (uncle Henk) I love his voice and lovely personality. He's a classical trained baritone, but doesn't like to be called the opera singer. He's a artist! He plays in musicals, is a actor in series and films and does opera's. And hè likes to look outside off the box. That is what Floor and Henk have in comment.

[@vbzwd24]

Floor experienced a Floorgasm herself with this performance of Henk Poort. She is a long-time fan of Henk ever since she saw him perform in The Phantom. She was really moved and who wasn't? Beautifully sung!!!

[@pdutchie4924]

Henk learned distortion in 2 hours just for Floor. I think you will also love ‘Shallow’ by Floor from Beste Zangers. 🙋🏼‍♀️ Happy New Year!

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you Pauline! Happy New Year!

[@craigwiggins253]

Floor fangirling Henk big time.🙂

[@jonathanlocke6404]

When they shot the last two verses of this, there were people thousands of miles away going: "Did you hear something?"

[@mhoogland-holterman5322]

Listen to henk singing noelia in beste zangers al the others a crying wenn he finnished the song

[@acontadogui]

Man, that's why I like your channel so much, we can really feel ypur emotions and truthfulness. In a parallel universe, Henk could be a lead vocal for a rock/metal band. Please, keep on with the reactions and have an amazing new year! Cheers from 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🤘

[@ThomFoolery1]

Hey Guilherme, thanks very much amigo, I really appreciate it. I would definitely pay to see Henk front a metal band haha Happy New Year! 😃🤘

[@black4pienus]

I love Uncle Henk.

[@erwinamesz7642]

Thank you Thomas for reacting to this beast of a singer!! Again a Dutchie going full force! Thanks for the amazing reactions in 2020!

[@ThomFoolery1]

Dank je Erwin! Happy new year to you! 🍻 😀

[@erwinamesz7642]

@@ThomFoolery1 happy new year and a healthy and prosperous 2021 for you, your family and loved ones! See you in 2021!

[@rolandmertens1604]

Great, yeah, Henk being the old gabber that he is (can I say that 😶🤔 yeah, I think I can say that) sure can sing a note or two, right? And then Floor sitting there being lovely as she is, enjoying everything she hears and sees... Loving the concept of this program. But as always, 'Winner' by Floor on 'Beste zangers' 😉

[@ThomFoolery1]

Indeed, it's great seeing each artist go into full performer mode when they're singing and then turn into humble fans when they're watching. haha I've queued up 'Winner' so don't you worry my friend. :D

[@papaverweg]

Watch ‘Vivo Per Lei’ duet by Henk Poort and Emma Heesters at Beste Zangers 2019.

[@bevohw]

The Old |Dutch man again Great ending of the year with Henk This time a Dutch man who can sing also It is a mix between the original and Disturb and i like this one a lot He dit it a specially for Floor and had to learn to sing with distortion. Great comments again Thomas Greetings

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks very much! Henk is awesome. 🙂

[@andyohil7465]

Great musician - nothing else to say.... thx for this... 🏆👍

[@ThomFoolery1]

Cheers! 😀

[@jonno55]

Nice react again Thomas. Part of that exquisite show in 2019. All of them fantastic singer, however Henk and Floor (of course) stood out. Henk is a baritone and sang in lots of operas, operettas and musicals. Accompanied Floor for some songs at her solo show. Going to see him on his solo show within a few months, Henk Heroes. BTW Happy New Year to you ad your loved ones.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Cheers John! Yeah from what I've heard, the performances from 2019 are really something, looking forward to hearing more. That's great that you'll be seeing Henk perform! Also wishing you and yours a happy new year! 😀

[@roeloftooms]

Floor could be proud of the distortion but this episode got Floor on the central hotseat where the others sing for her. The show takes 7 singers prefer from different styles of music. On each episode one singer is placed on the central hotseat and the other 6 will sing a song to him/her picked from a list of songs/events made up by the person on the hotseat. It can be an own song or something that remembers an event and that does give many emotional moments. The nicest thing is that singers have to step out their own musical comfort zone or rebuild a song to get it in their own comfort zone.

[@bazkeen]

He apparently had 2 days to learn this. Amazing, coming from a, basically opera singer, to put that sort of distortion in his voice. Happy New Year Thomas

[@ThomFoolery1]

So crazy! Happy new year mate!! 😀🥂

[@jacqueswilmsen5971]

Every song Floor sang in this show is unbelieveble good. One of the singers said to floor, its not normal how you make every song you sing better. Check them out you will blown away again and again and again.

[@Nicholas_V]

other songs from this show that were really good and deserve a reaction are: Floor Jansen - Shallow Floor Jansen - Winner Henk Poort & Emma Heesters - Vivo per lei Tim akkerman - Dear mr. president Emma Heesters - Strong Tim akkerman - Nemo

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks!

[@wimg.2377]

Other songs you will like form the series, will likely be Vivo per lei, duet by Henk Poort and Emma Heesters, Strong by Emma, Noelia by Henk Poort, Vincent by Henk Poort (Dutch version, but extremely well translated and performed in a way I have never heard before), Vilja Lied by Floor (well, any song by Floor really), Decades in teh Sun by Samantha Steenwijk (Dutch version actually :)), well all of them really. If you'd like some background, "jenniezelf" on YT has added subs (in English) to the songs, intro and outro with the other singers. You may find all of them here: kzbin.info/aero/PLnRZG2KlxbhArE-CyCLzjVAj5g0BvM-Jj Alternatively on AvroTros, you'll find all of them here: kzbin.info/aero/PLDQYfE7BLAcqwNQuRMYGKWKZ8vkk4gsWE Warm regards, and Happy New Year!

Coming back to your channel feels so welcoming, that's awesome 😊 Suggestions? Vivo per lei FOR SURE, Qué se seinte and Winner (both from Floor Jansen) are reaaaally good too.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you Lisanne! 😀

[@j0hnn13K]

Henk is amazing, like Floor he can do anything he wants and it will be good if not great. And for suggestions? The entire season? lol... nah that would be a tad too much but lets start of simple with all performances the other singers did for Floor. That on its own will keep you busy for a bit and will introduce you to who the other singers are and what they can do. That will pretty much lead to exploring more songs, no worries there because you'd be in good company in that regard... so many reactors started with Floor and ended up listening to everyone on the show and... became "addicted" to the show and its format hehehe Thnx for a great reaction Thomas, a Happy New Year to you and catch you in the next one :)

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks very much for the info! That sounds great and I look forward to exploring more from the show. Happy new year to you too! 😀

Wanna see a funny Henk Poort in Beste Zangers? Watch singing him country (with Stetson). *_"Your Man"_* : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX3Nonl8iq-Yias Also country-like (in a Latin-way, same show) Rolf Sanchez, *_"Hotel California"_* : kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5zXpJmeZ9h4rJo

[@ThomFoolery1]

Awesome, thank you! 🙂

[@komkwam]

Henk Poort learned the distortion part from his own vocal coaches, Floor had nothing to do with that.

[@antoinetteheijnen2733]

If you like this show, please check "Barcelona" by Tommie and Tania in an earlier season of Beste Zangers. Will blow you away too!

[@marcelschellekens6386]

it is this video by Henk Poort that convinced me that distortion might have a place in an aria agittata (an angry, or agitated aria) not much but at exactly the right time.

[@jurgenbruin4729]

Great reaction! Please use the Beste zanger vids with intros and outro with English subtitles, then you get to know more about the format and the song choices.! Jennie zelf made these vids, please check them out for more Floor vids 😁

[@scray00]

They’re tough to find. There was a channel that had them all. I think they got copyright struck, because she doesn’t have them anymore. Jmo 🙂

[@scray00]

Jurgen, you can watch them on daily motion. There is a link on jenniezelf community page.

[@michaelsargeant4993]

The whole series is wonderful.. It is best to watch each episode in order to get the most amazing reactions especially to Queen Floor who before this show as not really known in her own country .Following these episodes everyone fell in love with Floor .She had two number ones( i think Winner and Shallow performed on the show ) and was voted best artist in a National award . They now all know what a treasure Floor is but the whole series is a delight as a group of very talented and lovely people showcase their abilities .

[@christiantoth7959]

Very good performance. But i have to say the coverversion of Disturbed is the best i ever heard

[@ThomFoolery1]

I agree. Paul Simon endorsed it too.😀

[@renskevanderhaagen5813]

Loved your reaction, as always. Best wishes for you and your loved ones! 🥂✨

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you very much. Same to you! 🙂

[@kodywatts6886]

I wish they had a music show like this in the US. Obviously it’s still reality tv so there are some flaws but it really comes off genuine w/ amazing performances and artist who would never get to know each other otherwise bonding.... but naw we need another season of The Masked Singer 😂

[@ThomFoolery1]

It's so cool isn't it. Yeah would be cool if other versions were made in other countries but it might not have the same charm.

[@renskevanderhaagen5813]

Marko from nightwish won the masked singer Finland! And we also have the masked singer in the Netherlands, but I like beste zangers better

[@fvantpadje]

@@ThomFoolery1 They bring it out n several other European countries, but I think that the Dutch version is still the best and that comes that every artist here in the Netherlans is willing to be a participant of this show.

[@Qwarzz]

Woah... since he was this good singing this in the way Disturbed did it he should also have taken some inspiration from Marco for the Phantom of the Opera. :)

[@paulpowell339]

So old Henk is trying to copy the Disturbed version of the song. Pantonic also tried to copy the Disturbed version. Unfortunately, while both are ok they did not tell the story just sang the words. The Disturbed cover of this Simon and Garfunkel song is really awesome.
