He is her hero since she saw him perform in "The Phantom of the Opera". Just imagen, your hero singing for you and he even learned to distort his voice for this performance (the first time he did that live, hence the reason he was so nervous and not the uncle Henk they knew). You can see the surprised looks when he starts singing distorted.
Henk turned the song into something hauntingly beautiful. Probably my favorite version of the song yet. I'm still waiting for Henk to do an appearance with Nightwish.
He wasn't talking about metal being loud and busy. He was talking about touring and being in a band in general, versus being at home in nature, where you can relax from being on tour.
Well, i am not the biggest fan of the sony anymore (listen to oft to it) but what impresses me so extremly is his voice. It is so amazing clear. Never heard someone like him. I am really totalla flashed. Also in the duet with Floor, "The Phantom of the opera", he had an extremly clear voice. Really really impressed. And i don´t say that often.
The original by Simon and Garfunkel will always have a special place. Disturbed reimagined it and, at least in my opinion, Henk Poort perfected that reimagined version. Ach ja, und Schöne Grüße aus Kiel!
I agree with your comment on how well it is written... it is full of classic music construction vibes, reminds me of this classic piece "Nimrod" from Edward Elgar's Enigma variations : starts low, then climbs in a long drawn crescendo, then just as it hits the top, it falls down to the lowest point in an instant in the end... reminds me of how you feel just after you won a race or reached the top of a mountain... Epic !
In Germany there is a similar show called Sing Meinen Song but I've never watched it. Looking forward to your livestream with a full episode of Beste Zangers 2019.
Yesterday on beste zangers 2020 miss Montreal aka Sanne Hans blew us all away. Door de wind is sang in Dutch but you can find the translations somewhere. Curiuos what you think of her. She is exceptionel, true and a beautiful person.
Hallo mein Freund, würde gerne das Lied "NOELLA" für Rolf Sanchez hören, super gesungen von Henk Poort. . . BITTE 🙏 Liebe ❤ Grüße aus Volendam in den Niederlanden🇳🇱🌷🙋🏼♀️😘
He covered it quite well for it not being his practiced best - the Phantom of the Opera, not just on Beste Zangers, but professionally. For Sound of Silence, it was neither as haunting as the original, nor as heart-wrenching as Disturbed, at least for me, but it was an amazing cover! Thanks for sharing it with us!
@@iScripters I used to feel the same way, but Melinda/Twisted Translations opened my mind a bit. When someone needs auto-tune to hit a note, you can instantly tell. There's exactly one note that catches bad attention in Disturbed's music video shortly after he changes octaves. No singer can hold 100% prefect pitch on a long note; it wavers at least 5% of the time. In some styles, this wavering style is fine - even preferred, but in others a slight clean up sounds better. So long as it's a style choice and not a necessity, a singer still has my respect. I'll definitely grant that Disturbed lost a point at "naked light" but I respectfully disagree on it being game over.
I saw it live in January - was a good deal better than this "original" version, partly due to the atmosphere of the venue. But Henk obviously had done some practicing in the meantime... absolute goosebumps! With the lighting of the stage you could really think of a slightly older David Draiman sitting there.
It had to sink in, and Henk had to make it fully his own version. The transitions are much better and there is far more connection to the context of the song in his later performances.
@@buttthecat1354 That's quite an exaggeration to say the least. The two of them are just 17 years apart, and Henk was a rather late starter when it comes to professional musicianship. He first appeared in the early 1990s, not too many years before Disturbed came to being. David was in his late teens / early 20s at the time Henk did the Phantom. And actually both of them had to do something they had never done before for this song - David had to learn the clean baritone style, and Henk the opposing side, the screaming.
@@johannesmenzel2024 yes, it was an obvious exaggeration. You just wasted your time stating what everybody already knows. I am biased. I love Henk Poort and i hate Draimon.
Now I've enjoyed your reactions to Beste zangers, but....you're a bit 2 focused on 2019 and Floor I see. There are some other hidden gems in the beste zangers series. Try O'G3ne with Clown 4 instance or Tommie Christiaan &Tania Kross with Barcelona. I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised 😁.
You have to listen Also listen Just the way I Do by Samantha from the same show. You would like it! And maybe Robert Sanchez Down by the River... and Dear mister president by Tim akkerman... Great songs that seems to suits to your palette!
2:54 Here I have to correct you. He, Tim, doesn't say anything about her being in a metal band. He says it's a difference from life as an artist, hotel in hotel out on tour, performing, the audience. In other words busy. But at home it is quiet and relaxed. For the rest spot one. Henk Poort - Your Man czcams.com/video/sXbeT2VjTb0/video.html
Tim is talking about touring, being on the road. Living in hotels. He is not talking about the music she sings. He used te be in a rockband. He knows. Listen en read the subtitels better.
Three other special songs from Floor Jansen for you to listen to! Enjoy! 😉 czcams.com/video/ut6ufu2CPNg/video.html OR czcams.com/video/cMtKG8hRNL4/video.html czcams.com/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/video.html czcams.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/video.html
nope, he doesn`t sound like david. henks voice has a much richer and warmer tone than davids. david has one strong part in this song, henk is great the whole time, despite the fact, he sings with distortion the first time in his life. but still, disturbed did a great job, bringig this song back to life.
The Brazilian crowd is losing hope that you will reac to *Shaman - Fairy Tale (Live version)* We are known to be a very hopeful people, but you aren't making it easy, you know?
Will you compare studio version with live version ? Henk was even improving this song during his post Beste Zangers tour along with Floorm, due to more practice.
@@MacZussie What I mean is certainly heard live and seen!!! Or live by Conan... If Simon & Garfunkel already found it great, what do you want more... 👍💪
Love the look of awe and joy on Floor’s face.
He is her hero since she saw him perform in "The Phantom of the Opera".

Finally! This is one of the best moments of the show
Henk turned the song into something hauntingly beautiful. Probably my favorite version of the song yet. I'm still waiting for Henk to do an appearance with Nightwish.
and he did all this without a singers monitor!
He wasn't talking about metal being loud and busy. He was talking about touring and being in a band in general, versus being at home in nature, where you can relax from being on tour.
Ow I love Ome Henk!
same episode when Rolf Sanchez sing Hotel California with his reggaeton touch, full of energy
Don't forget he is doing this whole song sitting down, without even lifting his shoulders.

Thank you. Next from Finland. Poets of The Fall. Carnival of Rust. Live.

I watched a few minutes now and then... total crap.
😂
Ilse de Lange is on that one, this year..
great reaction, tnx. henk is an amazing singer...
He is a good singer but not a favorite. Maybe if I heard him sing more I might change my mind.
Floor gets a floorgasm :-D
henkgasm to be correct ghe ghe ghe!

Great reaction! 🙏 and october 18th i will see Floor and Henk here in Amsterdam!

@@MacZussie There are a few concerts on october 18, 19 and 20 here in Amsterdam and i am going to 1 of the 2 on the 18th

Also proud to be Dutch 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

excellent reaction
Meiner Meinung nach die beste Version von 'Sound of Silence' !!! Übrigens, Atrocity hat 'Sound of Silence' ebenfalls schon gecovert !

For Sound of Silence, it was neither as haunting as the original, nor as heart-wrenching as Disturbed, at least for me, but it was an amazing cover! Thanks for sharing it with us!
At least Henk is doing it without autotune, unlike Disturbed... If you use autotune, you're game over (to me, that is)

No!
David is a baby Henk Poort.
Henk has been wowing thousands, before David was a glimmer in his parents eye.

And maybe Robert Sanchez Down by the River... and Dear mister president by Tim akkerman... Great songs that seems to suits to your palette!
Just FYI, it's Henk, short for Hendrikus, not Hank.
Actually the original is from Simon and Garfunkel. I believe the song was released around 1964/1966.
I actually said it in the beginning 😉
@@PowerfulReactions omg I'm so sorry. So stupid of me.
First time in his life he used distortion, in Opera distortion is a big no no..he really was out of his comfort zone. .

This is a great performance. But why uncle Henk's head turned so red when he did the distortion? 😯
Pressure and inhalation.
He Floored it.
It's like a Disturbed version
It is, but done better live than David Draiman is capable of without aotutune.
Three other special songs from Floor Jansen for you to listen to!

David is no where close to the awesomeness of Henk Poort.
Mmm geen beschuitje meer. That’s not what Tim was saying.
The Brazilian crowd is losing hope that you will reac to *Shaman - Fairy Tale (Live version)*
We are known to be a very hopeful people, but you aren't making it easy, you know?
Henk has a much warmer voice
He sad over her rids andpakking that’s no rest
You not lissening hè sad you have after singing to Gover the peaple en jounalisten.
The Disturbed version is ridiculous.
I still prefer David's voice here, but Henk did a great job nonetheless.
@Robin Visser Have you made a pool? I don't even think Henk would prefer his version better than the original. He's not a metal singer.
Nee der kommt nicht an David Draiman/Disturbed ran,,, sorry 🤷♀️
