He was the lead in the Dutch production of the musical Phantom of the Opera back in the early '90s and also sings opera and classical music "art songs". This is out of his wheelhouse and he created that raspy tone just for Floor. Floor does the Phantom duet with him in the show finale and it's pretty freaking amazing. If you're interested in the episode where Floor is in the "hot seat" (which this performance is from) my favourites are Rolf Sanchez doing Hotel California for her (a favourite of her dad's that she shares) and he does a kickin', latin-infused version that is delightful, Tim Akkerman doing an up-tempo punky pop/rock version of Nightwish's "Nemo" that's fun (but odd), Samantha Steenwijk doing a translated into Dutch version of Nightwish's "Our Decades in the Sun" [Ik ben altijd dicht bij jou] (she is so nervous about it as it's also way out of her wheelhouse, she's famous for popular/folky, Dutch pub-style songs normally ["Mama" - the song Floor sang, was hers] and REALLY wanted to do it well for Floor and she does an awesome job of it), and Emma Heesters doing a song Floor wrote when she was with After Forever: "Strong" (about Floor's mother suffering from rheumatism, you get to see Floor melt into a puddle - like she does to everyone who listens to her sing... Revenge!). Ruben Annink also sings a Sting song for her which is pretty good (but I'm not a fan of Sting's style of music) and does a nice job of it. I have to say I love that you're watching the versions with the banter before & after to put the performances into context. It's an amazing show!
This clip, including the commentary both before and after the performance is available on jenniezelf's channel. You should watch that. Henk sang this for Floor, as it was her turn on the center couch. He stated that he was going to sing it, but sing the Disturbed arrangement of the song, and that for an opera singer, you'd be fired immediately if you were to use distortion in a performance. It's a huge no-no. But he learned how to use it, within an hour, to perform this for Floor. So as you know, this was done in the same season of Beste Zangers that Floor was on. With that, you should react to both Floor and Henk singing Phantom of the Opera, from that same season. If I remember correctly, theirs was the final performance for that season of show. As you've reacted to Nightwish singing it, you'll definitely enjoy that one.
An opera singer that does growling....big NO-NO and yet he pulls it off like a BOSS As a suggestion: Rolf Sanchez - Hotel California also from Beste Zangers 2019
Henk Poort learned to use destortion to be able to do this. He is an opera / musical / classical singer. This is totally out of his comfort zone. And take in mind his age. His distortion is not that smooth (yet? ), but who cares !
Hi Jimmy, Thanks again for a great reaction! Henk is beyond great :). Try the Beste Zangers duet he did with Emaa Heesters, "Vivo per lei", an Andrea Bocelli song. You'll love it :). Kindest regards, Wim
Not necessarily effort... just control. Henk has been singing opera and classical music art songs for decades, his technique is a well oiled machine. His exploration of distortion here is what's amazing! Way out of his wheelhouse!
The arrangement is the Disturbed version, honestly I still prefer David's voice here but Henk did a great job specially considering he added distortion for the first time, normally he doesn't sing like that in opera or musicals.
Henk Poort was The Dutch Phantom from 93 to 96 . you must watch Floor Jansen NL (Nightwish) en Henk Poort NL met The Phantom of the opera in beste zangers 2019
Just keep on watching Beste Zangers 2019 episodes. The "Grand Finale" (in my opinion, but also kudos for the other singers and the band) would be something to your liking, I think. Henk is involved.
I fucking love Henk. And the fact he was singing this for Floor who was totally fangirling out on the couch, makes it even better.
Ist is the only „Sound of Silence“ that give me goosebumps. The best one, for me!

Yes! I made the mistake of watching a couple of songs without the subtitles and conversations ...can’t wait for more😍😍😍

It’s actually quite amazing his transition from operatic at the beginning to growl back to opera😨

Yup. In the episode he said that singing with distortion will get you fired in the opera/musical world.
Yeah, he’s pretty classical. He does opera, but the distortion... it’s usually a no-go foe him
Hi Jimmy,
Thanks again for a great reaction! Henk is beyond great :).
Try the Beste Zangers duet he did with Emaa Heesters, "Vivo per lei", an Andrea Bocelli song. You'll love it :).
Kindest regards, Wim
It is indeed a very good version. Henk even met Andrea before he became famous. I think he tells the story during the Beste Zangers show episode
Remember that he is doing this entire song sitting down, without raising his shoulders... That takes some effort.

Jimmy! You’re pronunciation of the words Beste Zangers in Dutch is perfect!
Thanks Jet! I really try to get it right... I never actually know unless someone lets me know... glad to finally do it
Ik ben er mee eens ❤️🤘
you should also watch Henk Poort and Floor Jansen Phantom of the opera, also from Beste Zangers
Die heeft ie al lang gezien. Hij is een enorme fan van Floor
Check his "Vivo per Lei" duet with Emma Heesters!
The arrangement is the Disturbed version, honestly I still prefer David's voice here but Henk did a great job specially considering he added distortion for the first time, normally he doesn't sing like that in opera or musicals.
Agreed...spectacular adaptation for someone who sings exclusively in a different style
I enjoyed your comment and you are totally right!!!! No words to add
This whole episode is great. It’s Floor’s showcase episode where the other singers sing for her.
Our Floor had a Poortgasm
Love from Those Netherlands
Henk Poort was The Dutch Phantom from 93 to 96 .

Just doing this sitting on a barstool
Seriously insane 😮😮😮
Yep, you must only see in Floors face. Henk is soo good
And all that sitting down! 😳 soooo good! 👍🏻
Henk is a BOSS!!
Seriously
Check out Vivo Per Lei by Henk Poort and Emma Hesters on Beste Zangers, it's incredible
Thanks tdvc😎
I thought you would realy like this. I have agree not as good as Disturbed. but damn it is close to it.
Jimmy neatron
❤
you did this one before dude
Maybe there’s another sexy stud out there who looks just like me but this was my first time🙃
I prefer Disturbed's cover.
Second 👍👍❤️🇳🇱
First 🤩👍❤️❤️❤️
