It's always great/nice to see that people like Ruben (and Samantha), who are used to sing in Dutch, take the effort to sing in English and get out of their comfort zone. And again, let's not forget the Marcel Fisher Band.
I agree, I'm always impressed when I get to see someone perform in a language that is not native to them, Just makes them that much cooler to me. And you are right again, can't forget about that band at all. They killed it on every performance i've seen from them so far
I was fortunate enough ( and quick enough) to watch this entire season before they blocked it. It was all fabulous! So much better because it wasn't a competition! Really a great concept. And although it was not a competition Floor clearly "won". Not surprising with what a terrific vocalist she is. Henk was a strong second! But they all performed admirably; what a great show!
From the same show you should check out Rolf doing Hotel California for Floor. Everyone had so much fun with his version of the song and one reactor even said about the performance how did Hotel California go from a place you never want to visit to a place that I want to book my next vacation at.
I had never heard this song before this show. It's a momentous, monumental song! And Ruben did it complete justice with his smokey, soulful voice. Thanks for your reaction bringing this song before me. A new favorite. Cheers!
Thanks Cliff, thats the joy of doing these reactions, most of the music is something i've never heard or probably wouldn't have heard if not for this channel and people make suggestions. Have a great one and stay safe.
👍 06:44 At that moment Samantha Steenwijk thinks "Hier en gunter nagentoe" (something like) "damn it" that's good, first Tim and now Ruben and I still have to perform. She is focused. You've already heard her so you already know a little bit about what she is like. 💕Again a response from the heart. Isn't it time that you just listened to all the gigs from this season and maybe provide comments.😎
@@CUTnPASTEreacts - I think the younger performers (Emma, Ruben and Rolf) got a HUGE benefit to get to see how the "old pros", Floor, Henk, Tim, Samantha, prepare and carry themselves....
The most people in Holland didn't knew her. I heard Floor for the first time on this show also. Since then I'm a huge fan off her and Nightwish! The whole off Holland know her right now also!!! The metal genre isn't mainstream here. You won't hear that sort off music on the radio. That's why this show is great! Don't think in boxes, put all sorts off genres next to each other. And just enjoying each others talent. Music has no boundries. Just give it your all and respect one another.
I have to agree the format of this show is amazing, I just saw and reacted to Henk and Emma doing Vivo Per Lei. And after it and realized that Emma who I believe had never performed infront of a Live audince before this show, just put on the performance of a lifetime with Henk Poort, who has performed infront of countless people. Such an amazing pairing and only this show would it happen
Great reaction thanks.remember Ruben is just 18 years and end sing song raider that is amazing to and don't forget the amazing band... If you can please react to Tim with (mister president) I love wath Tim perform over there.. Stay safe my friend 👍
Thanks Rino, I didn't realize he was that young, I mean he looks young but at my age, everyone thats younger than me looks like they are 18 :) I'm pretty sure next was Rolf doing Hotel California, then Henks performance. I'll try to get the Mister PResident one in as well.
@@CUTnPASTEreacts I too recommend Tim singing Dear Mr. President - very, very topical, and beautifully sung. th-cam.com/video/tEZnPOWCEdE/w-d-xo.html And two of the backing band get to take centre stage with him - magical
Thank you for the reaction. I enjoy them every time. And as you have asked which song we would like you to react to next I would like to suggest Henk Poort singing 'Noelia'.
I hadn't really thought about doing the rest of the series, I actually started it because of Floor, but I'm really enjoying it the show, thx I think I will do a few more outside of the Floor night. ✌️✌️
Yes you are good company. You have a good conversational way and I find myself wanting to join in the chat. Floor's generosity shone from the start and the respect of the others grew from that, as well as her unreal talent!! Good on you for giving the band a shout out. They were excellent.
Great to see you giving the other performers a fair shot. I think Ruben HAD to dig back into Floor's background to find something he could sing - he was the youngest and least experienced there, and this show probably stretched him more than anything he's ever done. But having chosen, he nailed it! You could see him growing in confidence all the way through. And I think Ruben grew more through this series than any of the others.
Now you have to do The Gathering - Strange Machines. It's noteworthy Floor mentions that band and song by name, because that's the song that made me a metalhead too.
I enjoyed this reaction and your thoughts . This format of Beste Zangers is by far better than the current talent shows. I think for Ruben it must have been a grreat learning experience . And remember the band THE GATHERING , anither Dutch female fronted band , Anneke van Giersbergen , not with the band anymore. She played a part in Floor choosing metal as a genre. Anneke is a solo artist these days.
To explain the reason, Floor wasn't really that known ... After Forever mostly was an underground experience. They were known ... in the underground. Then she went on to Nightwish via some other projects. So basicly meanstream Netherlands never really tagged onto the whole Floor experience, untill this glorious re-entry into the Dutch meanstream scene.
and the band behind is very very good too ;) ! Take a look at Rolf in the Spanish version of "all by myself" for Samantha or Henk in "Noelia" for Rolf (lot of emotion inside). Don't change anything in your reactions, it's perfect ! lot of humanity, simplicity and paternalistic (sorry not sure of the word in english. In french: "parternaliste").
@@CUTnPASTEreacts You should absolutely react to Rolf singing the Spanish version of "All by Myself" called "Solo Otra Vez". For me one of the series highlights. th-cam.com/video/BCMiKnwuqb0/w-d-xo.html
@@CUTnPASTEreacts Another great one of Ruben is 'Hoe is hij' from the same show. And he also did a cover on Beste Zangers of Elvis - Can't help falling in love.
Great reaction again! I only knew Ruben a little as a Dutch pop singer. But he surprised me with this one too. Think he climbed the wall till some point. Have you done ‘Somewhere by Within temptation, Black symphony (live)’? You might like it... 🤘
Even the host is a famous dutch singer. His name is Jan Smit and he was very popular from the 90tis till 2010 and made a about 40 miljoen euro's thats about 50 million dollar's. So not a bad artists. Haha he is from volendam and thats a little vilage next to the biggest lake of holland but that village deliverd a lot of bands and famouse singers. Like the Cats , BZN , nick and simon and the 3j's. All are miljonairs through singing.
In this show from Star One she's a back up singer together with her sister, but she is already in After Forever then. th-cam.com/video/SuRJP_qmGy0/w-d-xo.html
@@CUTnPASTEreacts And the young guy on the keyboards is Joost van den Broek, who plays the piano in the Alone cover Floor did last week. You should check out Ayreon to, its great! Start With The Day That The World Breaks Down. th-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/w-d-xo.html
Other fine or fun performances on BZ2019: Henk Poort - (Everything basically...) Noelia / Sound of Silence / Vivo Per Lei (duet with Emma) / Your Man / Despacito Tim Akkerman - Nemo / My Girl / Mr. President Emma Heesters - Strong Rolf Sanchez - Hotel California / Solo Otra Vez (All By Myself) Tommie Christiaan & Tania Kross - Barcelona (BZ 2017) That should do it for now. :o)
I would have to agree, I believe i've said on another reaction somewhere, that Floor is our generations Freddie, or the only other person I've heard that can make be get the same feelings like when I listen to Freddie
Floor is Duchts, and in the Netherlands wy sa "Doe maar normaal " it is act normal. Sta your self. Greetings from Spakenburg The Netherlands Gerben T and Gabriëlle
I know you have a lot of great songs from this season still to go, but just a heads up - the 2018 season was also great. Two to kick off would for me be Maria Fiselier, an opera singer, doing a mind blowing version of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" - th-cam.com/video/8YyuIkVSx-8/w-d-xo.html and Davina Michelle and Tino Martin duetting on what is probably my favourite from all the shows seasons - "Voorbij" - th-cam.com/video/GBF7B6MlqAU/w-d-xo.html At 13 Million + views on YT, this second song is currently one above Floor and Henk's duet, which is on 11 Million + Without doubt the two greatest duets on the show ever. Two duets featuring Emma - one with Rolf and one with Henk - occupy the next two duets on the alltime list - both are wonderful too. If you do check the YT ranking, the top spot is taken by Davina Michelle, also from the 2018 series - currently 23 Million + views It is called "Duurt te Lang", and is epic too - she has a great voice that I'm sure you will love - th-cam.com/video/n_j1clPqEvg/w-d-xo.html
This is a very sad song about the killings by dictator Pinochet. Nothing to laugh about. Samantha is not smiling and she is so right when you listen to the lyrics!

Thanks, not enough reactors give Ruben a shot
He really did a great job, as I said, he really did bring some Sting forward, but kept it still a performance from him.
Such a nice group of people supporting each other. That is Samantha's focused look.
Cool, I understood they were all being supportive, but her look at that point kind of confused me, I'm not that familiar with her yet.
From the same show you should check out Rolf doing Hotel California for Floor. Everyone had so much fun with his version of the song and one reactor even said about the performance how did Hotel California go from a place you never want to visit to a place that I want to book my next vacation at.
Now you're just tempting me. I'm a huge fan of that song, across mutliple artists that have covered it. I might have to react to that one.
I had never heard this song before this show. It's a momentous, monumental song! And Ruben did it complete justice with his smokey, soulful voice. Thanks for your reaction bringing this song before me. A new favorite. Cheers!

I was impressed by him during the show.
yeah, he really made an impression on me with this performance.
Ruben is quite young but, based on what I heard during this show, he has a strong future as a songwriter.

I'm considering it. It really is fun to watch all these amazing performers sing for each other
This season of Beste Zangers set the bar higher for all of them. They each came out a better singer at the end.
that I have to believe, thety all really pushed eachother to be better

He's not putting on a different voice. He just sounds like that. He was 19 years old when the show was recorded. Old soul kinda guy though.
