Floor saw Henk Poort as the Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera when she was a child. He's her childhood hero, so singing this song with him is a dream come true for her. :-D

[alanjurena]

Producers: "Hello Floor Jansen, what range and variety can you sing?"
Floor: "Yes"

[pvxeek]

"He sounds like he's done more opera."
Understatement of the century.

[MrJagger]

The joy on your face when you're listening to music is so charming to watch :)

Floor hits a D6, which is a whole tone lower than the original score of E6 _BUT_ not only does she sing it _live_ (most actresses playing Christine would often have the E6 piped in during performances if they were concerned about not hitting the note live that particular show or they were saving their voice), she holds it for _SIXTEEN BEATS_ (the original score has it written as a dotted whole in 6/4 time, which is six beats).

Simply put, Floor hits the note a whole tone lower than originally written, but does it _live_ and for _two and a half times longer._

Woman's a legend.

[dennisbijkerk]

Henk Poort has definitely done more opera. He's had an opera career of over 30 years, including playing the Phantom of the Opera . He is considered by many, including Andrew Lloyd Webber, to be the best Phantom ever.

[NickyHendriks]

I really love how Floor has opened the eyes of a lot of Dutch people who were thinking metal was just noise and people screaming. All of the other artists on that season of Beste Zangers only perform in genres that are completely different to metal but seeing them all being blown away by Floor was just awesome. I can't listen to this version of the song without getting chills all over my back <3

[MetalStormGames]

If you dont know much about the show the most impressive thing is that Henk has never in his life added distortion to his voice before this show, he did the sound of silence for Floor and did it the disturbed way with distortion and talked about how hard it was for him to learn to do but he pretty much mastered it.

[michaelshort]

I heard this said in a comment somewhere, and it's so true. "Most singers sing what they can. Floor sings what she wants." :)

[crytzch]

Without taking a thing away from Floor, what I really love about this is how Henk transforms himself into The Phantom. HIs body language, his facial expressions, the way he positions himself in relation to her - you can just see the transformation as he sings into the role.

And of course Floor is my current favorite female vocalist in the world and that by far.

Many vocal coaches have already reacted to performances at Beste Zangers. However, many don't know the concept of the television program. Beste Zangers (Best Singers) started in 2009. The group of 7 guest singers are invited far away from their families and isolated on Ibiza to judge each other performances.. The main guest, member of the group of singers and which changes every week sits next to the host and doesn't perform, but just listens and sees his/her song to be sang. The initial idea behind this is that the singer has organized a concert but unfortunately turned ill (imaginary) and has to look for a substitute to keep the show on going. Beste Zangers allows the main guest to have some clue how this may turn out to be. At the end of the show, he judges the best performance and therefore has found a good substitute. During the seasons more varieties in genres has been added. So every week the performers in the show face a bigger challenge to be versatile in their singing. One of the guests was opera singer Maria FIsilier during the 11th season in 2018 who was praised by the viewers to be the most versatile. Meanwhile the idea of finding a substitute has basically been dropped now.
In anticipation of a new season, guests are asked to join and if so, to send a list of songs they sing or have a special meaning. Singers receive these lists and do their homework in preparation for the show by making a selection and practice in their studio's. Some dig in the history of the main guest and find emotional or special and personal meanings for a certain song of their memory or idol. The selected song has to be kept secret from all other guests.
The last show of the season is dedicated to sing duets. As guests start to know each other better in their isolation on the island, they forge new friendships and want to perform together, which results in last-minute preparations in deep secrecy from other guests and the host.
The side effects of the guests' out-of-comfort performing are that the guests go home inspired and spread abilities in the art of singing.
So I recommend to watch all other shows and other seasons and be stunned over and over again.
Cheers!

Nightwish - Poet and the Pendulum....you will not regret the masterpice !!! :D

[typhon]

3:37 I guess Henk Poort is less known in the "opera world" than i expected. He is singing opera for 20 or 30 years across opera houses in Europe. He is a barriton. During this show he did his first "growly voice" and realised there is technique behind that to not destroy your vocals

[mahlemut]

Henk Poort is a beast, seeing him growling on, for him, a new version of this musical, since he already had singed Phantom of the Operah a thousand times, he diserves all the respect.

[tintat]

Henk"s last "sing to me" so powerful, it fed back into both mics to give a" huge room " type echo --wow-- Best Phantom ever!

[wolsh.studio]

I love her version of Lady Gaga's "Shallow" too (at this show) — so gently and emotional.

[MrMjshep]

Honestly...I love just how much you're geeking out to them singing...just so much fun to watch your reactions. Also...Floor is the absolute best

[margaritazakharova]

In this show she also sang Vilja Lied with her operatic style. Just awesome, too! Recommend! 😀

[MerryMoss]

The last time I went to see Nightwish live they were playing this song, Henk Poort suddenly walked onto the stage to sing the duet with Floor !! 🤩🖤🖤🖤
He was even wearing a sort-of metal shirt and did a little rock pose and all ^^ it was great!
