I’ve been hoping they’d do that duet ever since it was announced they were both in Beste Zangers this year. Since Floor didn’t sing the original Nightwish version and Henk didn’t sing it in English (+ his Phantom was 30 years ago already)... I was SOO disappointed when they didn’t do it in Henk’s episode... Then I remembered they’d switched to a separate episode for duets.

Also, this one from 1993 in DUTCH kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqJ-2bp-qs3Ik9o.html

So in this show, a group of really good singers (hence the name Best Singers) gather. Every episode highlights one singer, the others then sing that person's song (usually they then make that song in their own style, they usually choose different types like opera, pop and classical singers). It is usually quite emotional because the highlighted singer in that episode gets to hear his/her songs in a different style. Also they can choose to sing a different song (like sound of silence) if they believe or know that that person loves the song. I hope you get. Anyhow, they're not judges but there to enjoy hearing others sing their own versions of known (Dutch) songs. And yeah the set up is really pretty, I'm pretty sure they all travel to a beautiful place together where they film this, so they get a lot closer.

beste zangers can also mean dear singer. in other words beste zangers means both the best singer and dear singer the set as you say. is not a set but an existing holiday rezort. they have taken some smaller things with them to dress up the "set" the program consists of the idea that you take 6 singers who meet each other at most once in the circuit. let them interact intensively in a holiday situation. and then tape 7 programs at the same time. one for each singer and one duets program. per artist, each artist must do a song from and list of songs that the artist in the hotschair has made . this list may consist of any songs that have touched you for any reason. so it may be your own work, but also any song by any other artist.

I love this show! I’m Dutch and this is absolutely one of the best Dutch shows we have!! This season was one of the best ones! Henk Poort is one of our top Dutch opera singers, he couldn’t have done any better!

Henk Poort is an opera singer in our country, and Beste zangers is a program where the artists are singing a song that is completely out of there comfort zone

What impressed me most about this, is he’s doing this while he’s sitting on a stool. Do you know how incredibly hard it is to sing powerful chords when you were just sitting? This guys got talent!

Quick info about this artist. Henk Poort, born 20 January 1956 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is a Dutch actor and singer, who mainly plays in operas and musicals. The old engine is still running smoothly. Amazing.

Henk never used distortion before this show. It was Floor who teached him how to do that. He is a beginner in that department. He is a classicly trained singer and played the Phantom in the dutch version of Phantom of the opera. So check out when he and Floor sings Phantom of the opera from this show. Henk said yes to do that duet on one condition. That he could sing it with Nightwish the next time that they play in The Netherland. And Floor accepted.

So American thinking. Everything needs to be a competition. The show is just friends and good singers gathering together and singing each other.

It’s a Dutch show where artists sing songs from each other which gives them the opportunity to sing genres they will otherwise never do and you can see they really enjoy it. To do this they go for a week to a location where they live and perform together. In that week they perform a number for every singer in the team, so there are enough episodes for a complete season. The season with Floor and Henk was phenomenal. The competition element is very minor btw, it’s more about fun and respect and love for music.

For most Dutch English is their first foreign language and they hear it on radio and televison, both American and UK English versions, so we automatically have an accent as we pick up the language from both versions. Almost all series and movies are subtitled in the Netherlands (including German/French/Italian and Spanish series). Contrary to some countries were they do a Voice-over and you hear "Dirty Harry" in a complete other voice-lvl and timbre to his own voice.(Check it in a German version, sorry neighbours ;-) ). To become a native speaker in English, US or UK variant. you have to live for a few years in the country itself.

emotional song ..his baritone is haunting...thats also a cue that this is just an amazingly written song.

In case you dont know yet: de beste zangers (literally translated The best singers) is a annual program where a variety of the best singers of the netherlands come together and sing covers and songs of each other.

AH , finally ready for Henk Poort (and Floor Jansen) ? Soo glad you did it and enjoyed it ( I know you would ) and it was really worth the waiting :) !! Now it's time for Henk and Floor ( Phantom of the opera ) and maybe even Henk with Emma Heesters singing Vivo Per Lei , that one will give you goosebumps as well !! Loved your reaction ( as always) :) !!

They’re singing songs for each other. All singers.

Awesome. I think is so mesmerizing because it usually doesn't have much staging/choreography. They just stand/sit and sing. Allows you the time to focus on the sounds coming out.

Wow, I am sort of amazed that Beste Zangers slipped through the cracks thus far, so really happy you got to it! If you do more of these, especially Henk and Emma, or Henk and Floor, you will have to pick your jaw up off the floor, as it were.

I can't believe you keep finding my favorite singers, even when I think they are not similar to each other. I love your reactions! You can find full episodes of Beste Zangers on KZread, but turn on the captions because it's in Dutch. It's well worth it! Henk was the Dutch Phantom in the 90's, so please listen to his and Floor's duet! For contrast, listen to her do Winner for Tim Akkerman, which he wrote for his brother, a paraplegic. It's so simple and so touching. Oh, by the way: it's a very metal version of Phantom they do.

Henk has that kind of power because he is a professional opera singer. Distortion is a big no-no in opera and this was the first time he has ever done it and he did it just for Floor. You need to check out more from Beste Zangers 2019. It is a Dutch program that gets together artists from different genres of music. They learn about each other, and their styles or genres and then every week one of the seven is honored by each of the others singing a song that has special meaning to the person being honored. I can be a song they wrote, a song they are known for performing or just a favorite. Floor did some absolutely killer performances from opera through pop through musical theater and other genres. Need I say all of them were fantastic? Please check them out. She was the first to perform and most of the others didn't know who she was, only that she sang metal. They soon learned though. She blew them away week after week.

The format of the program is that one singer is in the picture at that evening and the others performs a song of him or her. Indeed you have to watch also Henk and Floor performing Phantom of The Opera.Henk is a Opera singer also.

Exactly, it's being done in European TV from what I know for many years now. I love what the other artists come up with. It's usually the summer plague when it's done very good, atleast nationally.

I dont know If anybody Said it but Henk poort is mostly known to be an opera Singer

I will add that this is a ‘live’ show done every year but with different (sometimes unknown) singers of different styles. All in a very intimate setting. Mostly the singers choose a dear song (from his/her repertoire or some with which they have a common bond) of the one sitting on the couche (from your position right next to the host sitting left). Mostly they arrange the song towards their own genre helped and supported by the backing band who also are awesome live performers. Lead by the Marcel Fisher Band (band leader) About Beste Zangers 2019 you can find bunches of good performances from all episodes on the Internet, also from previous years back to 2010 all accompanied by the same band. The show became quiet popular around the world. Due to the talks are in Dutch several interpreters did made subtitles in multiple languages and post whole broadcasts to make those also available for non-Dutch speakers. Look for KZreads ‘with ..... subtitles’

You see he is just sitting there while singing this song, what a power and control!

People tend to call Floor Jansen the most underrated gem of The Netherlands, but Henk Poort is definitely the male diamond. Loved him ever since I found his original cast recordings of the Dutch production of Phantom of the Opera, which he did almost 30 years ago.

All the people on the sofas are successful recording artists, taking turns singing for each other. Here Henk is singing specifically for Floor, going out of his comfort zone to do something Metal for her.

You should watch the whole season with this group

It's a show with 7 different artists. Every episode is about one artist, wich means that the other 6 cover a song from that artist in this episode. It's not a competition, it's just about enjoying music.

I am dutch. And these are some of the best singers in the netherlands

hii from the netherlands “beste zangers” soo nice that you give it a shot to watch it !! the woman in the beginning is floor jansen watch those two when they singing together i bet you gonna melt haha peace ❤️

When a goddes smiles to you you know you did good.

best zangers is a program where all the dutch ppl come together to each other songs :) they on a holiday for 2 weeks :) to a nice place.

hey beste zangers is a program with 8 dutch singers and every week there is 1 singer sitting in the middle and the other 7 singers will cover his/her songs in there style of music. For example floor covers a song of henk but she will cover it to metal style.

Really enjoyed that! Awesome voice!

Henk is grunting for Floor. Tryingt to earn her respect. I think he's doing a fabulous job. Henk reinvinted himself.

you can translate it 2 ways: 1: the best singers 2: dear singers Both are quite accurate to what the program is about. They look for really good artists from the Netherlands and pit the against one another but what they do is they also sing for each other by picking songs in the style of the highlighted artist on the sofa in the middle and adding their own style in it. Right now Floor is being highlighted and Henk is doing the sound of silence for Floor as it is one of Floors favorites. Note that Henk never had training in distortion before the program and practiced it for about 10hours give or take just for this performance and was quite nervous about it.

The tv show best singer (beste zanger) are different singers from the netherlands. One singer is the headguest of the episode and the other singers are singing songs that means something for the headguest of that episode.

Really liked that pointing out on the world map thing. We are a tiny country and most Americans have no clue. Don't even know that the Dutch were the first successful settlers and had a great influence on the USA today. Many have already explained what this show is about. So this tiny country, surrounded by others and depending a lot on trade and love traveling, basically learn 4 languages in school. We're the #1 country in the world that has English as 2nd language and now even some 50% of our universities teach in English only. We are the #2 exporter of agricultural products in the world (after the USA but we are many times smaller). Schools teach UK English, many movies and series on tv are US English so often it's a mix of those two.

A group Dutch singers gives the other singers a list of their favourite songs to sing. And the others pick one and have a turn to sing.

Henk learn distortion in 2 hours, he is even singing sitting , what is hard to do..

To answer your question about singing in different languages is pretty easy actually. Music is universal and as long as you feel it and read what the song is about in you native language you can feel it all just within the music

You should check out Minami - Hollowness for another take on an amazing Japanese Singer. She has growls of gold.

I like the way that you were as captivated as most of the people watching this. Sometimes you just have to enjoy and say nothing. by the way, best singers is about singers from the Netherlands. Some are famous in the Netherlands, some are not. Just like floor was not well known in the Netherlands, although she is from the Netherlands. The point is to sing songs from the other artists, or songs that mean something to them. In all cases, they must have good voices. After this show, floor got a lot more attention also in the Netherlands.

chills

But it is his style of singing. Listen to his and floor's duet of the phantom of the opera for the same series. I have tried to find out more about the series " Beste Zangers" my Dutch sucks but roughly means best singers. It doesn't seem to be a contest show like The Voice or AGT, I think its just a showcase to really good singers to perform stuff they might not get the chance too. You really should listen to the phantom duet even if you don't do a reaction to it. Floor will knock your socks off, then when Henk finishes you'll be standing there nekkid.

It kind of started as a show with the concept "what if you got sick/were unable to perform , which colleague would you want to take over your show for you" and its kind of a really light hearted show where genuinely good artists who all know each other because the Netherlands is very small get toghether to sing songs for each other. So every week one artist has a list of songs that mean a lot to them, and then the others get to pick and choose what song they want to do and if they want to change it in any way. That's how you get the mutual respect because the want to honor each other. It's also a great way for people to learn about new styles or artists.

So "Beste Zangers" is a program from the Netherlands where a lot of famous dutch people who can sing (you heard that right, mostly popular singers but some aren't singer as primary profession) come together and one of the famous singers will sing a song for every other member sitting there with a certain meaning behind it. I don't know the specifics myself since I never watched it however, I am from the country haha. And yes it does mean Best Singers

It's amazing. The decor is on party island Ibiza.

Beste Zangers is a competition (in episodes) where singers from the Netherlands play against and for eachother. On this program they Will be An enemy while they at the same time Just making good Friends with eachother. Maybe Nice to know, Floor Janssen won this episode ;)

Beste Zangers was not a competition but I watched all of this season and Floor clearly "won". But Henk Poort was a solid second! The man is a true pro; very versatile. I was very impressed with him.

I think that is very similar in the Netherlands! And the Dutch are good on laguages, a lot of them speak also German! In both countries English music is very popular and in the Netherlands movies and series aren't dubbed as much as in Germany, they sub the movies. So they hear a lot more English than we do by watching tv.
