The other highlight of this last episode for me was Henk Poort and Emma Heesters singing a classic Italian love song. Floor also sings 5 other songs in the series which are all amazing. Emma Heesters also sings an amazing version of one of Floors songs called Strong. An amazing television program. It'll be hard to top this whole series of tribute songs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/habQi6F6lrZ8hNE

Floor's body language is wonderful. For this song, she is totally captivated by the phantom. Yes, their chemistry is stunning.

[@Jessica271555]

Henk Poort was the Dutch Phantom of the Opera back in the 90s. He also used distortion for this song. FYI he has NEVER used distortion before this show when he learned it for when Floor "assigned" him Disturbed's Sound of Silence song to sing. You really should listen to him singing Sound of Silence. It was amazing.

[@mandyhandforth1347]

Jessica271555 it wasn’t assigned to him he picked the song for Floor and Henk decided to do the disturbed version and learn the distortion as he was singing metal for Floor.

[@renefrijhoff2484]

That he never used distortion before is easily explained, it's a big no-go area for opera singers.

[@Pasunsoprano]

Adding distortion is not "a big no go" for operasingers. It just is not used in the repertoire. We are bound to the style the composer wants, we can't just add anything that isn't written. That would be like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa. So it's not because we can't, or don't want to, it's because it doesn't belong in the rep.

[@mizofan]

Even though she has surpassed her childhood hero, when he sings The Sound of Silence she looks at him with joy and adoration. And he clearly thinks the world of her. A wonderful connection. I like his singing a lot and she is fantastic.

[@liquidminds]

I think the chemistry of the 2 works so well, because they perfectly portrait the characters of the musical. Floor admires Henk and it's like a dream coming true to her, being able to sing a duet with him. She wants to impress him because she truly looks up to him. Henk on the other side found this girl with the amazing voice that he got obsessed with and I believe him in the finale, that he wants nothing more than her to sing as good as she can, because it's just that good. The additional facts, that Floor loved the musical as a little girl while Henk was playing the role of the Phantom for years make it just so much better. It was the perfect song for the two. Fun Fact: Henk only agreed to do the song under the condition that he could go on stage with nightwish. They'll be playing together in Amsterdam and Henk will also be on Floors solo tour.

And she is as lovely offstage as she is talented on it. The complete star package. It's taken her over 20 years to become an overnight sensation in her own country (outside of the Metal community).

[@TheVoiceLoveCo]

So happy for her. She deserves every bit of love and adoration. She is divine! Wonderful to receive this comment today. Thank you!😍

[@monksuu]

Nice reaction. For the future, Jansen is pronounced like yan-sen. Henk was the Dutch phantom in the 90s and he's Floor idol. Floor asked him to do the duet and his condition was that they do the Nightwish version and he would like to perform it later with Nightwish when they are in the Netherlands. They will perform this also on her (sold-out) solo tour in the Netherlands. After this duet episode was live in the Netherlands, the Nightwish gig in Amsterdam sold out also, so they added another date. Because you like to see up close you should watch all Beste Zangers songs by her. ;)

*When, where & who* : recorded on a rainy April evening 2019, outdoors at resort Atzaró on Ibiza Island. A FTV production; BesteZangers season #12 hosted by Jan Smit. Not only Jansen & Poort (and the other 5) sang live, also the *MF band* displayed their musical skills live! So, also credits to the MF Band with: Marcel Fisser (bandleader & lead guitar) - Marijn van den Berg (drums) - Serge Bredewold ( *bass* guitar) - Edwin de Groot (guitar / backing vocals) - Gregor Hamilton (synthesizer / keyboards) - Martijn de Laat (trumpet) - Arno Slijper (piano / keyboards) - Lesley van der Aa (backing vocals) and multi-instrumentalist Hubert Heeringa (the headscarfed saxofonist, violinist, etc).

[@somedigitalist7681]

It was great to see you note Floor's ability to quickly shift between different vocal colours, to the point now of being able to do it evrery couple of words if she wants. There are two recent performances from her that really showcase her doing that. One is from this same Beste Zangers show on the song "I don't know a thing about love" and the other is a recent Nightwish live video release for Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires. I hope you'll consider doing a reaction to one of those at some point.

The song "Winner" that Floor performed on Beste Zangers as a tribute to Tim's paralyzed brother, was my favorite on the show. It had everyone in tears until the finale. Her tribute to Henk "Vilja Lied" was the first song of the 3 week show which took everyone by surprise. The participants didn't know much about each other when the show began.

I know Floor personally, way before she joined Nightwish. I met her on the music academy, after that she went to the Rock Academy. She has a voice, so clean....it is very rare and beautiful. Besides that she is just an amazing sweet and humble person. You rock girl! \M/ Henk performed in the musical "Phanton of the Opera" and he was one of the favorites of the writer. Henk lived in Italy and discovered Andre Bocelli, singing in a bar. Floor wanted to sing with Henk since she was a teenager. He was her idol. Beautiful how music brings people to each other.

[@MrHaagsesjonny1]

@Sam Smith -- > *FLOOR* - origin and meaning: ( Dutch born Jansen) her firstname *Floor* comes from the Latin word "florens". That means "flourishing, charming, respectable." The name is derived from Florentius. The name is also used as an abbreviation for Flora. Flora was the Roman goddess of flowers and spring. She was the symbol of nature. That is why the plant world is still called "flora" in Dutch. She was also one of the goddesses of fertility. In English the word "floor" also occurs independently. It means "floor, ground." Because of this everyday meaning, Floor is usually not used as a given name in English-speaking areas.

Hi Christi, Beste Zangers isn’t a competition, a group of Dutch or sometimes also Belgian singers is invited to Spain. One of the singers has her or his day and the others sing a song fir that singer. It can either be the performers song or a song that he or she likes. The singer of that song makes it his or hers version and sometimes make a translation. The final episode is duets, which was also this song The Phantom of the Opera. It exists over 10 years now and most episodes are amazing to be honest. By the way so are your reactions

Vilja Lied from the same show, in my opinion can't be missed, she really brings it and the reactions she gets from those people are all speechless with jaws dropped on the floor. Before this show, she wasn't really know in her own country. Most people never heard of her. The other songs that she performs are all amazing. She sings in multiple languages, different genres, and putting her own touch in to everything. I'll also say the other cast members are also very talented and if you want to watch on your own time, someone did translate the entire show series. Just look for videos Beste Zangers by Denise.

[@wilcoschipstal6417]

Henk was classically trained at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam after he learned the trade of billiard table maker first. I kid you not. During his training he won the Cristina Deutekom Concours. After finishing his training he wanted more life and musical experience and travelled around Europe to sing for various opera houses. Verdi seemed to be his favourite as he played in 6 pieces by the Italian grandmaster. In Germany he mostly played operettes. With his experience he was then asked to play `The Phantom´ and some claim that Andrew Lloyd Webber had said that Henk ´was´ The Phantom. Not that he sang it best but the intensity he brought to his performances truly brought the character of Erik to life. Floor saw Henk play when she was a little girl and during her training at the Dutch Rock Academy and later the Conservatory considered his drive, versatility and approach to singing as an inspiration. So when they both ended up in this show Floor asked Henk to sing this song with her to make the `teacher`-'pupil'-theme from the novel come full circle. Henk agreed on the condition that he got to sing the song with Floor again when Nightwish would do a concert in The Netherlands. Floor and later the band agreed. So it looks like we will get to enjoy this performance again next year in the full Nightwish setting. No disrespect to the Marcel Fisser Band who have been phenomenal again during this show. Another story about Henk is that during his travels through Italy he once met a blind vocalist in a bar. They sang a couple of songs together and Henk was so impressed that he wanted to work more with the young man. Henk got offered to do another show somewhere else and they lost contact. A couple years later Henk recognized the voice when he heard "Time to say goodbye" and realised that the young man in the bar had been Andrea Bocelli. To honour him he also did a beautiful rendition of "Vivo Per Lei" with Emma Heesters on this show. I highly recommend it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/habQi6F6lrZ8hNE This show is pure gold for anyone into any kind of music as it mixes all kind of genres and although it tugs on the hearthstrings from time to time (cough- Floor singing "Winner" and Emma Heesters singing "Strong"-cough) it is all about genuine emotions and love for music and we get a look behind the curtain as the singers explain how and why they write songs and what drives them on a personal level.

Henk is one of Floor's musical heroes so this was a dream for her to be Christine with Henk as his version of the Phantom. If you watch her reacting to him singing Sound of Silence she fully fangirls which is so cute!

[@dieseldog00]

The first letter of her name is pronounced as 'y' in Dutch; Yansen or Yahnsen as I say it. Floor is a consummate actress as you can see all through this performance. Watch when Henk sings "my power over you" she bends her knees and lowers her eyes. She turns away from him when he sings"though you turn from me". She had thought out every move she needed to make for the song to be successful theater.

its not only floor you know, henk is doing a very good job as wel!

[@henkhummel6782]

Perhaps you will love Henk Poort singing The sound of silence as well, i loved especially that part when has a distortion in his voice.

[@remywiggelman6476]

Henk poort was the opera singer for the phantom of the opera in the netherlands he is really awesome singer

[@roygarrett1663]

I was hoping you would do this video. I was stoked when I saw you doing this. Thank you. Great video, great reaction, and you are loved as well.

Well, you are in for a treat! All her performances in the show were awesome! She sang in 4 languages and added a rock sauce to almost every song: Vilja lied; German aria, sang for Henk Poort Mama; dutch pop/folk, sang for Samantha Steenwijk Que se siente; salsa, sang for Rolf Sanchez About love I don't know a thing; country ballad, sang for Ruben Annink Shallow; Lady Gaga cover, sang for Emma Heesters Winner; rock, sang for Tim Akerman Shallow, feat Tim Akerman, rock version

Henk asserting his character, with Floor towering over him, added to the fun factor. No disrespect intended - his performance was impressive, especially adding the distortion in his voice. Henk will be featured in all of Floor's solo shows, including the 6000-seat AFAS arena, so I hope one of the shows will be recorded.

I have tickets!

Another reaction vid I saw said "She could play Christine, easy". I was picturing Andrew Lloyd Webber on the phone to a theatrical agent: "Who's your tallest baritone?"

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Thanks for this great reaction video for this stellar performance of the Nightwish version of the song (Yes, Nightwish did it like this with their 1st female vocalist Tarja Turunen, who is a classically trained soprano.) with so much emotion. If there's an afterlife, I hope to listen to this for all eternity.

Floor is doing some solo dates in The Netherlands and Henk is her special quest, those shows sold out in a matter of 2 or 3 hours after the announcement. He will be joing Nightwish on ther Amsterdam dates next nov, and those are sold out already

[@lauraoviedotellez9401]

Gran reacciòn y análisis técnico. Thank you!

[@frankohero]

No competition dear Christi :) Very good singers pushing each other to unknown heights. Two songs of Floor (on this show) went on No 1 in the Netherlands. There are a lot more amazing performances on "Beste Zangers". I have heard, Henk sings the Phantom for a few years now at a Dutch Opera. Floor is one of his fans. Great reaction as always Mrs Bovee.

[@TheZachh]

Fantastic reaction. Thank you!

[@Masterwest08]

Henk poort.... the original Dutch phantom of the opera i believe. She grew up Idolizing him. He happens to be a fan of hers as well

[@madddog6790]

Jansen should sound like Johnson, but with a "Y" :). Great point about Floor's acting/getting into character. If metal didn't exist, she'd be a Broadway star, though finding a leading man for her could get a little difficult due to potential height differences :). Nightwish did a version of this years ago with their original singer, so you might be interested in hearing that. Floor has never done this song with Nightwish, but Henk's condition for doing this with Floor was that he'd be able to do it with the full band when they play Ziggo Dome next November. I don't know if that's actually been "approved" by the rest of the band, but it will be pretty epic if they can do it. I got to see Nightwish on their last tour from the front row, so I was never more than about 10' from Floor. She was engaging the crowd or other band members the entire 2 hours they played, and I've never seen anyone look like they're having more fun than her on stage, ever. Even Tuomas (keyboardist/band maestro) has said that she is "born to this". BTW, Floor has sold out 10 solo dates in the NL for next January, and Henk will be her guest on the tour. The Beste Zangers house band, the Marcel Fisser Band, will be band for the solo tour, so Floor was obviously impressed with them!
