Floor wanted to be part of Beste Zangers because Henk was cast to participate in this musical TV show. Floor has been a Henk Poort fan her whole life, yet he had not heard of Floor before this program. Since then, they have become besties, and collaborate together in duets when doing Solo concerts. Floor promised Henk to sing with her with Nightwish as a special guest to cover Phantom of the Opera, and perhaps even more. I can imagine Tuomas composing for Nightwish with Henk's voice in the works.. 🙂

Floor was the center of the evening and all other 5 artists sang a song with ties to Floor. Floor loves the Disturbed version, thats why Henk did it. They actually met the first time during this show but Floor has been a long time fan of Henk. You might check out Nemo version from the guy with the beard.

Henk Poort (you pronounced it nearly perfectly) is a carpenter / billiards maker, who became an opera singer (Baritone) and for Years sang all the great opera's with many great opera companies. Later on in life he made a carrier switch and became a musical singer, amongst which he was the Phantom of the Opera in the Dutch version of the POTO. It is said that said that Andrew Loyd Webber said Henk Poort was his favorite singer of the Phantom. Henk was also Floor's childhood hero (he was 65 I believe when this show aired), and she said yes to perform in this show when she knew that Henk would be participating. They have since become good friends, and became regular guest in each others shows. Beste Zangers (best singers..) is not a competition, but a format in which every week one singer in the group is the focus, and the others sing his or her songs for him or her, or song that are important to him or her...

Great reaction. He also does Vivo Per lei with Emma Heesters in the same show. Emma is the small blond girl . She is a KZitem singer and amazes everyone with her live singing skills.... Henk is the original Dutch Phantom. He did the distortion as a gift for Floor (that's a no no in the classical scene:) BTW can you do a reaction on Floor's version of Lady Gaga's Shallow Thanks

If you go to this link you can see the full episodes of the Beste Zangers when Floor and Henk appeared on the show. Henk is Floor's idol she saw him at roughly 10 years of age when he was the Phantom in Phantom of The Opera (original Dutch production, supposedly Andrew Loyd Weber said Henk was one of the bet Phantom's but I've not been able to find a direct quote). The show brings together a variety of singers. Each night one singer is featerured and the others all perform songs of that artists or songs that mean something to them. The season opened with Henk being featured. Floor starts the tributes to him with a song his mother sang a home often ... I won't spoil the surprise but will tell you she sings in perfect German (several native Germans have stated that her German in the song was perfect). Henk did Sound of Silence for her. I forget the explanation as to why. The link does have English subtitles that you have to turn on. If you want the build up to each song they artist explains why they chose a song. Only Tim Akerman actually did a song from Floor's catalog and it was something from before Nightwish. By the way Floor is currently on tour, but the German version of Beste Zangers ... Sing Meinen Song is airing weekly and Floor is appearing on this season. A song in German that she performed for a duo got them EXTREMELY emotional. Here is the link to the full episodes of Beste Zangers during the series Floor sings in German, Dutch, Spanish and English .. I've also heard her sing in Italian. Impossible to describe her. Click the little icon in the upper right corner of the video to turn on the English subtitles ... very worth watching. www.dailymotion.com/xpinkeu/videos

It is Henk's version, based on Disturbed, with traces of Simon and Garfunkel in it, on a less metal orchestration. To convey his message about this song. And that is what this show is about, not to copy the 'original' but to make a new version. Some artists stay close to the original, others rebuild it and create completely new versions. The artists are seven performers in their own right, and there is a presenter. In each show, one of the artists is the 'subject' and the six others sing songs that are dear to the 'artist of this evening'. Because he/she wrote them, covered them, or have special memories about them. Floor's father liked the S&G version when she was young, but when she heard the Disturbed version, it gave the song a new meaning to her. That is why Henk sang it for Floor in his way. One of the artists is Rolf Sanchez, a salsa style singer, Floor Jansen sang his song 'Que se siente' for him in her metal version. Completely changed the style, but with full respect for his original. It blew everyone away! You could review the extended fragment of the show, to get a little bit more about the 'how and why' of this show.

The show takes 7 singers from different genres of music and put them together in a resort on Ibiza. In every episode one of them is placed central and all 6 others each sing a song that has a meaning for the central placed person. That can be something he/she did perform or something with a memory to it so it can become very emotional. Because the singers are all from different genres it is possible that they have to step out their own music style comfort zone or transform a song to their comfort zone. It is no competition but just a gathering to honor each other, sharing stories and bring up memories. The 8th and last episode of the season is the fun duet show. Each singer has to choose one of the others to perform a duet. Full shows with English subs can be found on YT on the channel of Paul H

Floor sang " Vilja Lied " , in German, for Henk. His mother used to sing that for his father. It is the first song of the first episode. Only Tim knew Floor, they did the same festivals 20 years ago. Floor with her band After Forever and Tim was the first singer of the band Di-rect.

Henk and Emma Heesters, vivo per lei, also in the duet episode. Henk sang " Noelia ", in Spanish for Rolf. Henk sang "Vincent" , for Tim in Dutch, but it is an original English song. From Don McLean: starry, starry night. Henk sang in Spanish for Emma "despacito ". Henk sang an original Dutch song for Samantha " Wees zuinig op mijn meissie. ". But that song is unknown abroad and in Dutch... Henk sang " your man " for Ruben.

To get a feel for this Dutch TV show, Beste Zangers ("Best Singers" but also "Dear Singers"), here's Floor singing for Ruben who was the central figure of that evening. It's his song in Dutch, which Floor translated in English (with the help of her sister, Irene, who's also an accomplished singer btw). The video is with CC in English and it contains a few minutes before/after for more context. Floor Jansen - I don't know a thing about love (2019) (with subtitles) youtu .be /1SyHUrfjeqg (remove spaces). For more Floor & Henk, I second the recommendation others have made: Dangerous Game ft. Henk Poort (Jekyll & Hyde cover). You'll find it on Floor's channel. Cheers from Amsterdam!
