    I love listening to him. He sings from his heart. He seems to have an old soul and a beautiful spirit. 😇❤️

    Hey bro. So nice of you to give our Ruben a chance on your channel man.
    Ruben is a sing and songwriter. And I compliment you as a “rock’er” to react to this Dutch song.
    I love Ruben because he is such an emotional guy.
    Thanks 🙏🏻 bro

    Mad respect for you doing this video for him. You really impressed me with your character. Especially since I know he was not your favorite. He is a passionate kid who is a ball of emotion on the show. Wears his Hart on his sleeve. Been singing on the streets for cash since he was 12! He grinds and I have respect for him and his talent

    This is a song from Jose Luis Perales (Also done by other artists like Marc Anthony) in Spanish and is a favorite song of the guy who sings in Spanish (Rolf). Ruben just translated it to Dutch. The song is "Y Como Es El?" ("And What is He Like?) The lyrics in English are:
    Looking into your eyes,
    I would swear
    you have something new to tell me
    Get going woman and don't be afraid,
    Tomorrow may be too late
    Tomorrow may be too late.
    ---Chorus---
    What is he like ?
    Where did he fall in love with you ?
    Where is he from?
    What does he do in his free time?
    Ask him
    because he has stolen the biggest piece of my life
    He is a thief
    who has robbed me of everything
    Fix yourself up woman, you're running late
    and take the umbrella in case it rains.
    He will be waiting to love you
    and I will be jealous of losing you
    and dress warm
    that grey dress looks good on you.
    Smile, so he will not suspect that you have wept.
    And leave me, so that I may prepare my luggage
    Forgive me, if I ask you another question?
    ---Chorus---
    What is he like ?
    Where did he fall in love with you ?
    Where is he from?
    What does he do in his free time?
    Ask him, because he has stolen the biggest piece of my life
    He is a thief
    who has robbed me of everything

    Sometimes it doesn't matter if you can understand the lyrics, the music is good enough to transcend the language barrier.
    If you do understand it tho, it's quite the tearjerker.

    Hallo Mr.Rock N Roll, It is a song from Rolf, who normally sings it in Spanish.
    Ruben has now sung it for him in Dutch. But ruben usually writes his own song about his sadness and re-setting, his songs usually have a double side.
    The song that Floor sings for him is from his father and from him.
    The song that Emma sings is about a city and a woman.
    He is a true storyteller in his songs. And Ruben is now 20 years old.

  • @kiekendiefje
    @kiekendiefje 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Ruben is indeed 20/21 years young. He participated in The Voice Kids (Holland) in 2012 but he didn't get very far. In 2015 he was on 'the best singer/songwriter' and there he was the runner-up that season. In 2016 he wrote the titelsong for Angry Birds the movie (the dutch version I guesss)
    He writes and sings in Dutch.

  • @thesherbet
    @thesherbet 5 ปีที่แล้ว +57

    His Sting cover for They Dance Alone is a must listen! It's way better and more soulful than the original in my opinion!
    Also Rolf's cover of Hotel California!

    • @lexv4894

    Amsterdam is known for their “dutch blues” and they sing with a sertain tear in their voice.

  • @fdsannie
    @fdsannie 5 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    You are such a kind person. I think he was singing a song to Rolf. He was the one in the black and white shirt. From what I have gathered Rolf has kind of turned into a big brother to Ruben.I think the thing with this show is that they show these famous singers as real people. That they go through the same things everyone else does.
    Thank you so much for doing this. He is good and he gave me the chills too. Take care.......... :-)

    • @nielsokkema3134
      @nielsokkema3134 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is a song Rolf wrote about how he found his wife with another man...

  • @Iamthecrazyone
    @Iamthecrazyone 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Mad respect for giving him a chance. Honestly all of the singers on the show are very talented, and while Ruben is perhaps a bit unpolished comparatively, he certainly has some emotional weight to his voice. I highly recommend giving all of them a listen, even if you don’t do a reaction to them. Samantha Steenwijk, the older blonde has such a great, emotional voice. Rolf, the smiley guy did an incredible salsa version of Hotel California. Emma Heesters the younger blonde is very pop styles but she has a great voice, and her rendition of Floor’s song “Strong” had her in tears. Tim did what was, in my personal opinion, a pretty solid rendition of “Nemo” from Nightwish for Floor, and the song he sang for Henk, “Bring Him Home” was very good.
    As a side note, a TH-camr named Denise Hofs has been posting full episodes with English subtitles of the show, and I recommend giving them a watch, specifically episodes 4 and 5. Episode 4 has Floor on the couch being sung to, and episode 5 has Ruben. I think you’d like the kid quite a bit after watching it.

  • @Marianneduetje
    @Marianneduetje 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Much respect to you to man up! Love. Ruben is a singer songwriter, with a world of wisdom and a huge talent for telling a story. Thanks for giving yourself a second chance. He is singing a song to Rolf Sanchez, who is very popular as a salsa singer. He was on the top charts in the Domenican Republic.

  • @black4pienus
    @black4pienus 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yay Ruben! He also did a song from Sting. 'They dance alone'. He really has a good Sting voice.

  • @dhaxgaming4488
    @dhaxgaming4488 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The song was sung to Rolf(the dude in the black and white shirt), not sure if it was one of his own or not. He sang a song in english to floor ..believe it was one of Stings songs because her family especially her dad is a big sting fan.

    • @christybakker1031
      @christybakker1031 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The original song here is: "¿Y como es él" and was written by a Spanish singer called Jose Luis Perales in 1982.

  • @DurgerDude
    @DurgerDude 5 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Hell yeah. All these people have really grown on me. We all know that Floor is from another planet. But they are all super talented! I really recommend you check out a few performances from Floor's own episode. Especially Henk - The Sound of Silence, Ruben - They Dance Alone and Emma - Strong; a song Floor wrote about her mother who suffers from rheumatism :'( By the way. Major props to you for your honesty and giving Ruben a chance. You were always funny but it's nice to know that there's a good heart in there as well 😃

  • @bondomu
    @bondomu 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    What a sweet reaction with some kind words of encouragement. Reuben has such a smooth voice and his cover of Sting's "They Dance Alone" is a must watch. He stated that he very rarely sings in English so it was a challenge for him. I think he completely nails it. Is it just me, or does Reuben have the most adorable smile ever?

  • @Payne2view
    @Payne2view 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My respect for Ruben "poofy hair" has grown a lot over the weeks too. To be on a show called "Best Singers" at 20 is a credit to him. Henk is a legend too.

  • @cdaniell30
    @cdaniell30 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I'm glad to see you doing some of the other songs from BesteZangers. I only got into it because of Floor (of course), but one of her fans translates captions for the full shows and it's definitely worth watching for all the in-between stuff. I like all these singers, titans as they are, much better than most of the "stars" we have here...they all seem like real people instead of vapid idiots who just want to force their politics on us.

  • @fnglert
    @fnglert 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Lot of respect for Ruben as well. His normal style might not be for me, but he's got that 'old soul', he's a storyteller. You had it right, for a 20 y/o kid to be singing among these titans, he's gotta be doing something right. I'll second someone else's comment, his version of They Dance Alone is great. He does a *very* good Sting, with that soulful voice of his.
    Here's the lyrics to 'Hoe is hij', translated by me:
    Your eyes are still dry, where are your tears
    You've managed again to hide them
    Tell me now all your stories
    Because tomorrow might be too late
    Because tomorrow might be too late
    And how is he
    How did this all happen
    Was everything pretense
    He doesn't understand how beautiful you are
    It went too fast
    Don't you need me any more
    And does he know, that he stole everything from me
    Put your coat on
    The nights are cold
    And take an umbrella, for the rain
    He'll be probably waiting for you now
    And I'm not going to stop you anymore
    And how is he
    How did this all happen
    Was everything pretense
    He doesn't understand how beautiful you are
    It went too fast
    Don't you need me any more
    And does he know, that he stole everything from me
    And how is he
    Does he make you laugh like I did
    Too much for me
    Was everything for nothing
    And are you happy
    Are you sure he'll make you truly happy
    Or do you regret
    Because I've truly lost everything
    Ohh-ooh-oh
    And how is he

  • @renskevanderhaagen5813
    @renskevanderhaagen5813 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Ty for doing this! I feel the same, not my type of music but BIG respect for Ruben! Please also check out his cover of Sting, he did for Floor.
    Also please react to some other songs for Floor: Emma with Strong, Rolf with Hotel Calofornia, and Henk with sound of silence.

  • @mk2pr

    That song is original in Spanish( Y como es el) from famous singer Jose Luis Perales I think is one of Rolf idol.

    It's so cool you did this reaction. Ruben has so much going for him. I wish he did more like this as he does it so well. He's a great story teller and his lyrics are not what you expect from a 20yo. He did some great performances on this show with this and Sting's cover being my favorite.

  • @richardaling5278

    There are very very few guys who I like singing these types of songs. May I suggest a band who can bring both with a male lead...think of them somewhat in the vecinity of Volbeat awesomness...Poets of the Fall..."Balance slays the demon" and "False Kings" ( the first one being a song you could slay demons to and the second a ballad). Cheers thank you for all your hard work. I never thought of checking this puffy haired guy out but now I will. All the best to you all!

    Since you're looking at Ruben, the song Floor sang to him he wrote and she translated into English. I believe he wrote it about his parents getting divorced. If you want to see him singing it and then Floor I've included the links.

    Mr. R&R Ruben is a singer-songwritter. Maybe you get an better idea about him when you know that the song you reacted on "I don't know a thing about love" by Floor was his song. Floor did it in Beste zangers and this was written and composed by Ruben. It was about the divorce of his parents. I think he is a great talent. Good singer and writting beautiful songs.

    he wrote the song. it has a double meaning. its about his home town Amsterdam. how its changed over the years. at the same time his ex girlfriend. by asking here wat here new guy is compere to him. with the same questions as he wonders about his city. for such a young guy a great song in its meaning, lyrics and feeling. he will be(s) a great songwriter ..

    Now you are giving these guys a chance, I would advise you react to Emma Heesters version of After Forever's (Floor's first band wich I cant recommend MORE) song "Strong". If not for Emma, for Floor's reaction to it.. its priceless. I would say, so you get a little background, watch it from the eng subbed video of the Beste Zangers episode about Floor so you hear a little bit about the song, and then the performance. You can thank me later 😅

    ty for this upload, Ruben doesnt get these a lot, and i feel he deserves to be the subject of more react videos in general.
    He's young, has a really good voice, and he's adorable (just watch the episode where he gets the spotlight).
    The others really have welcomed him into their inner circle, and gave him the praises he deserves, he's very deserving of that i feel.
    Keep Branching out across "beste Zangers" seasons, you will find so many great songs, and hidden gems, that it could keep you busy for the rest of the year (lol, not even joking).
    I do have a suggestion/request song for you, one a lot of people kind of have forgotten by now.
    Glennis Grace and Lange Frans - Empire State of Mind (by alicia keys and JayZ originally) th-cam.com/video/DlDQtmUdrlI/w-d-xo.html (this isnt from the show itself, this is during a concert, but you want to see this with a crowd instead of a few people) They sang it originally in the show "beste Zangers 2011" so its 8 years ago, and that is why many have forgotten about it by now (sadly)
    I hope you guys will react to it some day, you wont be disappointed.
    We have Floor, and we got Glennis... Two of the best singers around.
