Me too! Very great!

David Draiman, and many metal singers, have years and years of training to do distortion well and without harming your voice. Henk sings opera. In honour of Floor's love for metal, he sang the Disturbed version and attempted distortion of the first time in his life (with two hours of practising!). Which is a big thing to try and though he is no David, he did wonderfully on conveying the same emotions that David did. Just imagine what Henk could do if he had had those years of training! You can have a preference but you cannot go about thrashing this man in the comments because he is 'not a metal singer and should never try'. Then you have missed the point of this show and the point of music in general.

Those two have so much respect and love for each other. ❤️ Henk tends to show up as a surprise guest at Floor concerts, and he's too bloody famous to do that for the money/fame...he's doing it because he's having fun with a good friend.

He did this after TWO HOURS OF PRACTICING singing with distortion in his entire life. And as an opera singer that means doing the opposite of what he's been doing all life long, always seeking the purest and cleanest notes. And yeah you can definitely hear that, in how his voice becomes suddenly warm and smooth in some moments. This is incredible.

I think Henk deserves some special respect. Before he sang this he said "if in the world of classic music you go metal, you're out'. So this was a very fragile thing to do for him. But he did it anyay. He expended his horizon. Classic music can be great but it still shows how closed that world is if they can't respect anything else than their own kind of music and never try something different to expand the posibilities. This is the 21st century, not the 18th or 19th century anymore.

If you want to hear a really awesome performance look up the sound of silence performed by Disturbed on the Conan O’Brian show. This is really good but Disturbed will give you chills. It does me everytime.

This is now no.1 on the Dutch charts. Well deserved, Henk’s version is at least as good as Disturbed’s. Floor should be very proud. Because of her there is a metal song topping the charts in a country that mainly cares about pop. She may almost single handedly introduce metal into the pop culture of the Netherlands.

Metal was normal on the radio in the 90's and the early zero's on Dutch radio. Only the last 10/15 years it has vanished from the radio. The Gathering and Within Temptation already had top40 hits as Dutch acts, besides the well known artists like Metallica, Limp Bizzkit, Korn and the likes. So you could only say that she might be an influence on the return of metal in pop culture.

Feeling the chemistry between Henk and Floor. Lovin it

Played this at my grandfather's funeral in November last year. He loved this show and especially Henk Poort and Floor Jansen. This song, Frank Sinatra's 'My Way' and Time to say goodbye from Andrea Bocelli. Didn't know this song would make such an impact. So beautiful and full of emotion which is conveyed perfectly! Thank you Henk Poort for your cover!

This was downright awesome. First, as an opera singer distorting his voice which he'd never done. Second, controlling his nerves while stepping way out of his comfort zone. And at last nailing it and move Floor like this? Amazing!!

Never heard of this man before until I saw him on Dutch TV yesterday. He's got himself a new fan. WOW WOW WOW goosebumps all over, best version in my opinion so far. Thank you Henk Poort. #TeamFloor

You can see Floors admiration everytime the camera is on her face. She looks at him like a teenaged girl looks at her celebrity crush. So sweet. =)

Wow, Henk really nailed it! I think this is far better than the Disturbed version - though obviously they were brilliant in their own reinterpretation of the song. I love the moment at 3:11, and just before. Floor looks at first so dearly touched, and then filled with awe. It was a dazzling performance. Truly beautiful.
