That's how I sing in the shower... could it be I'm a phenomenal singer and I've only now found this out or I'm tone deaf like my wife says. Hmm

Henk Poort was the Phantom in the Dutch version of the musical in the 90's. Obviously he wore the appropriate mask during those performances. Henk is very good, it's rumored that Andrew Lloyd Weber has called him the best Phantom of all the opera singers that took the role, worldwide. For this show, to step out of his comfort zone, Henk learned to sing with distortion in his voice especially to perform the Disturbed version of The Sound of Silence for Floor in the episode of the show dedicated to her. Singing with distortion is not something opera singers do, but Henk took lessons and practiced for a few hours. The result is very good, you should definitely check out that performance. A little background on the "Beste Zangers" show. It's a tv show in the Netherlands and the season with Floor in it aired last summer. It's not a competition really, just a friendly get together of professional singers who then proceed to pay tribute to each other by performing songs that either mean a lot to the person or covers from their repertoire. Every episode is centered around one of the singers. On the final episode they do duets, one of which is the one you just saw. I also highly recommend the duet between Henk Poort and Emma Heesters, "Vivo Per Lei". It's another great performance by Henk and a beautiful song. Emma is a very young KZfaq cover star, she's only 23 but she really holds her own during the performance, Henk made a good choice with her. Floor is actually not that well known in the Netherlands, even though she's been a professional singer in multiple bands for almost 20 years now, because hardrock and metal are not really mainstream here and hardly played on the radio. However, since the show aired she has gotten nothing but positive reactions, many more people now know what she can do and she has sold out a whole series of solo shows throughout the country. Also tickets to Nightwish sold out so fast after this show aired that they planned a second concert, which is now also sold out.

In my opinion Floor is one of the top , if not the top , live performers in history. There is just this electric magnetism that draws you to her. She just commands your attention and you willingly give it to her. She pays you back in spades though, because every moment you give to her leaves you feeling like you came away with the better deal.

It absolutely was not “more of a struggle” for Henk to hit those notes hah, considering he was the Dutch Phantom. Check out his cover of The Sound of Silence for more proof (also sung to floor). It was more he decided to attempt a more “metal” voice for only the second time in his life, as it’s a big no-no for opera singers. Also Nightwish covered Phantom of the Opera years ago, this version took a lot of elements out of that cover.

This was incredible. That last note lasted 8 seconds. Unbelievable.

i think Floor mentioned this was a dream for her, because Henk was someone she respected very much.. the hug at the end was a definitive "fu*K yeah". love it.. props to V&S, KZfaq's most beautiful couple :)

This is such an amazing performance. Floor and Henk are amazing

Beste Zangers (Best Singers) 2019 Floor's performance of "About Love, I Don't Know a Thing" has everyone in tears and demonstrates another Floor genre. I subscribe to over 600 channels and your channel is one of the very best.

This Beste Zangers show was pretty awesome. Floor was mostly unknown to the people of her home country of Netherlands until after this show. Now both her and Nightwish have exploded. It was a good time watching this show with English subtitles.

Henk Poort he's someone that Floor looks up to. You should check him out doing sound of silence on the same show.

Floor and Henke: what a duet. I love this version of the song - I get goosebumps every time I listen to it.

Vin, checkout Nightwish performing this song live (altough with Tarja), its available on youtube! Even though i prefer Floor, this is an amazing cover and Marco really shines in this!

The gentlemen that sang with Floor (Henk Poort) originally portrayed the Phantom in the Dutch performance of Phantom of the Opera. Floor had always been a fan of him, fangirled when she saw he was going part of the show. He agreed to do it as long as he got to sing it with Nightwish. and this version of the song is based on the Nightwish cover of it.

Nightwish did cover this song. It's on the End Of An Era concert. It's awesome!!!

Queen to D6......Checkmate

she was study at the rock academie, and also opera lesson , she is a soprano. Henk was playing for many years the dutch Phantom . and is now singing with two other baritons in the netherlands.

Your statement about how she embodies the music, truly resonates, you are the first and only person I've heard say this, I cannot agree more, every performance, every Nightwish song she not only sings it perfectly but she owns the stage and the song. No one, no one comes close. I have lived in the era of Floor. Thank you Vin, 150% agree. You folks rock.

Mariah Carey: "Can you do 8 octaves?" Floor Jansen: "Can you even growl, do classical, belting and whistle?" #mindblownbyfloor

"She embodies what she is singing about" Pretty true

And that's how you do it! 👍🤘 Check out more from that show! Henk doing sound of silence and all other songs with them❤️

Henk Poort(the guy singing with Floor)actually played the phantom in the dutch version of the stage show,just an fyi

in the same episode (last episode always duets) HENK POORT sung VIVO PER LEI with EMMA HEESTERS. EMMA is the young blonde you saw. she is youtube artist. give this a try and see what happens on the couch with the others. also should try EMMA singing STRONG. this song was written by FLOOR JANSEN. she wrote it for her mother , who has rheuma. EMMA's mother survived cancer. one of the others said you could feel there was something happening between emma and floor. the way she sung , the way she was looking to floor. and finaly try NOELIA done by HENK POORT. was sung for rolf sanchez. the grandmother of rolf always sung it. he had special connection with her. after she died he had not heard it anymore , was too hard for him to handle. this was the only song this season where no one kept dry.

Yes finally! I've been waiting for you to do this song. Floor is amazing. Everything she does is magic. Henk did a wonderful job. Just as a fun fact, Henk actually plays the Phantom in the dutch version of the Phantom of the Opera.

Henk was Floor`s idol growing up. Henk was the original Phantom in Holland . There is a Phantom version by Nightwish but with Tarja.

Checkout Floor's version of "shallow" a Lady Ga Ga song.. GO! No you are correct! I've been listening to Metal for 30 years and I think she's the greatest female singer of our time, just on sheer versatility alone no one comes close, there i said it!!

Floor could sing her way into heaven.

I'am glad to hear that your brother is doing well. And thanks for the great reaction again.

Glad you did this one!

Best reaction ever... Super. Love it

Glad to hear your brother is doing better, excellent news!

Floor is majestic! All the best for you and your fam guys!

The best interpretation of the phantom of the opera.

That high-note reaction must be one of the best I've ever seen. GO FLOOR GO!!!!!

I am so in love with Floor.

Bless you and your family Keep safe stay strong and get In get In the opera

Vin and Sori. No question FLOOR JANSEN. Done and dusted. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Ooh, I see Floor I click! And now I see you've done reaction vids of Floor before. Always great to find another channel who reacts to Floor and Nightwish. :)

What is the audio problem? Bad edition or something? It is like it is a little slower and that causes it not to be heard as it is.

I love you both. I saw a comment on a Nightwish song about Floor, and it was so true. it said..."When you're drunk you hit the floor, but when you listen to Nightwish the Floor hits you!" Just wanted to share. Glad to hear about your brother. Keep up the great videos.

Great audio quality, thank you

Seen this like 716 times and yet I was smiling and clapping with you guys haha. Great reaction.

So Cool 😎 💜 !!! Y'all look so happy 😍 with your amazed looks on your faces ! Floor Jansen is the best, and y'all really Rock TOO !!! I love how much you guys enjoy the music and respect the talent !!! So much FUN ❤️. Love from Tennessee....Be Blessed,. Gayle

It begins with a real Thunderclap, it started to rain during the recording and the roof started to leak, you can see some water falling behind Floor and Henk. See at 06:20 rightside behind Henk. The scarry laughing before Floor starts is from the female back-up singer . Great Reaction, thanks.

New game of shots: take a shot every time Vin and Sori get goosebumps during this performance. Henk Poort is an established opera singer in the Netherlands (The Henk Poort as Floor calls him, he had played Eric _the phantom_ in the Dutch plays!) and actually he used distortion here in the second half as a way to get out of his comfort zone and employ some metal sound to his vocals. Nightwish *did* cover this song back in the Tarja era. A lot of us are hopeful that they'll play Phantom of the Opera live again with Floor. This was a nice surprise, thanks guys!! Edit: we know my favorite singer is Floor, but I also love Anneke van Giersbergen, Charlotte Wessels (Delain), and Doro

It speaks volumes that most people PREFER to listen to Nightwish live over their albums. This is no attack on the albums, they are just so insanely good live. Floor is a unique talent, absolutely unique.

It's awesome that you reacted to this. Along time ago before I discovered you guys and then discovered Floor and Nightwish, Sori was always in my mind as a sister of hers. They look so much alike.

Thank you for this bit of optimism from overshadowed Europe, we need more like this.

The clip is from a Dutch broadcast program called "Beste Zangers" (eng: best singers). Its already in it's 12th season. In this program around 7 singers perform eachothers songs but also duets. Its sung live and for many years a program which is a pleasure to see/listen. There are many clips from this program on KZfaq. Check the other songs of her and others in that programme

BTW Nightwish have full cover of this song with Tarja from End of an Era concert 2005. Also they will do this song on this tour in Amsterdam with Hank as guest.

What I find amazing about the last note hit by Floor, is that there is no vibrato, it is fully sustained, showing that it is not even difficult for her.

Sing for me my Angel of Music..WE WERE HERE and Raise our Hands. 😘🤗

Yup, she is incredible. Europe is full of insane skills. :]

I agree, Floor has everything. Dimash can't be considered, since he's clearly an alien, and not a human. No human has the right to his vocal abilities.

NOBODY CAN COMMAND A STAGE LIKE FLOOR ...NOBODY ...Her stage presence is magnetic and electrifying ..and her voice ....well it speaks for itself ..Her instrument is so colorful, well trained and she is just reaching her prime ..simply incredible ..Nightwish lucked out ..Great call Tuomas

They are fabulous

LOL. Nightwish already DID a cover on Phantom of the Opera ) And you can find it on KZfaq )

Andrew heard this version, and he found it the best one ever

Did you see they are doing a digital release for the last live show for Floor's solo tour? They raised the money for it in a couple days after Floor announced the crowdfunding campaign for it.

Henk Poort performed the Opera - Phantom of the Opera over 600 times. This was his wheel house. He was actually one of Floor's idols.

Great reaction!! Love Floor, she is such a great singer and person as well.. As much a fan a am of Floor, please watch Dimash Kudaibergen (26) with the song SOS to start with. The world’s best singer alive is what so many vocal coaches say and I agree. He’s famous already in Asia and Europe is waking up too 😉 Dec 2019 he sold out Barclays center. Take a look, you will not be disappointed and will wonder why you did not heared about him before! Greetings from a dutch fam of Floor ánd Dimash!

Ive already commented, but i came back again just to say, if you get a chance to go see The Phantom live, you need to do it. I saw it live in Australia in 91 and to this day, is still one of the best shows ive seen live of any genre to this day. Its just a fantastic show. Do yourselves a favour and go see it as soon as you can, i can guarantee you wont be disappointed.

Loved your reaction!!! To quote another commenter (different reaction) - this is a Henking Floorgasm!!!!

Finally! :)

Most awesome choice 👍

When she hits that final note I always start grinning ear to ear

Got to check out "Yours Is An Empty Hope" by Nightwish, Floor not only sings but she growls as well, give it a listen

Stage presence incomparable voice, soul, heart ... unique emotions thanks Floor thanks

Coincidentally, they're performing the Nightwish rendition of this song here.

Nightwish did a version of Phantom of the Opera. Checkout their life performance with Tarja, it's amazing.

Love it!!! Moonspell - Full Moon Madness Moonspell - Night Eternal

Please react to Nightwish Dead Boy's Poem live at Buenos Aires such an amazing song

Another amazing reaction 👌. One question for you guys, do you slow down the original video to avoid copyrights issues? Or there’s another reason for it? Floor is one of the greatest of our time and the best female voice in metal hands down imho. Keep it up guys!

Henk practiced singing with distortion before singing Disturbeds version of Sound of Silence for Floor

in the same show... henk poort sung "The sound of silence" to Floor.(disturbed version)... just listen to it and you know how easy henk sings his notes.... floor is amazing

guys they really need to listen to Henk's version of the sound of silence!

Anneke van Giersbergen is one of Floors biggest inspiration, you have seen some of her work with Devin i think.

I've seen them perform together live in January over here in Holland.

Yesss...finally you doin this...continue to react Floor and Nightwish, hope it will be move away corona around us :D

Floor and Henk sang the Nightwish arrangement of the song... Nightwish have recorded "The Phantom of the Opera" with Tarja and there is an extremely powerful performance on their "End of an Era" Live DVD with Marco singing the male part. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9GaoM2csNC8n2w.html Henk also only agreed to do this song with Floor if she would let him sing it with her at a Nightwish show... she said yes, of course and this should happen in November.

floor is simply amazing hands down!

Wow, I did not realize this was that good. All this time and she still finds ways to surprise me.

Great stuff. Andrew Lloyd Webber's Paganini variations are also amazing. P.S. This version was based on the Nightwish version they did with their 1st female vocalist Tarja Turunen, who is classically trained unlike Floor, who only studied classical singing two years part time.

Great reaction . Just to let you know . Henk Poort was the Phantom in the Dutch stage show and is known in Holland for that part he has been an Opera singer all his life . Nightwish did do the Phantom Of the Opera with there first singer Tarja . You need to look into the Best Singers from the Dutch TV series and not just Floor . Look into the back ground of the show first it's not a contest of one better than the other .

Try Henks version of Sound of Silence

Finally!!!!!!!

Haha great start: "It's something in Europe and it's cool". Yep, that's a way to describe the Netherlands.. ;)

She"s the Ronnie James Dio of the female singers Really 🦉💜👑

Nightwish did a cover of The phantom of the opera years ago. It's part of the End of an era concert.

Thank you my favorite Christians and sweethearts... Dutch Pride here...

already legendary

Nightwish, Floor and Henk Did this song in Amsterdam 2023 February , a great show, Greetings from nwAse Sweden

Im so happy that you and your brother are In better place♥️☀️🌈

Nice story, Nice play, Nice music, phantom of the opera.

You guys should do a reaction to Emma Heesters singing the song Strong to Floor. She was the young blonde girl on the couch giving the sign. It is incredible and our Queen Floor gets a bit teary eyed.

Hard to believe that floor is the lead singer of a Symphonic metal band. Insanely talented

At 5.48 the dude touching the forehead of the girl with his finger. That's what this song is about. It's about mind controle, kinda BDSM, but not for him to put off his mask (he's a phantom anyway) but for her to throw of her mask and bring out the best in her and he challenges her to do so. Sure they are European but Dutch! This is also a Dutch show. Also hearing Floor sing is referred to as a 'Floorgasm'.

loving it :) Romantice pleeeease it real heavy

This sounds slowed down to me, which makes it lower pitched. It's even more impressive at the correct speed.

Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera( Download 2013 Live). So many req have been made for this song.

Vin i gotta ask.. what do you use for your beard? I tried multiple things but my beard is still not growing...
