As a Canadian you don't know any French?

And click on "Translate to English".
I think it's about a woman who is love sick.
AA> I did not care too much for Anneke van Giersbergen - Jest Oldu
AA> too much. That voice was a bit too screetchy for me.
It was better with the original video from the show where you could see the emotions of the people but that unfortunatly got blocked, because of a copyright claim by the original composer... I saved it so, if you... ;)
Anneke is our grand lady of Rock, although she would probably be offended by that title. ;-)
She was the inspiration for Floor Jansen to go in the same musical direction.
Check out this one from the 25 anniversary concert with her original band:

Or this duet:

And tell me you still don't like her singing? ;-)
AA> You might also like the rock/commercial works of Sara
AA> Brightman.
AA> Another fine Sara is Sara Bareilles. Check out her songs "She
AA> Used to Be Mine", "Orpheus", and the duet with John Legend, "A
AA> Safe Place To Land".
I will...
WvV>> They are all from the same TV show...
AA> What is the premise of the show?
AA> Who are the people seated in front and why are they important?
They are all singers. In each episode of the show, except the last one which is about duets, one of them is in the centre of attention, where the other singers, sing a song that they think has some meaning for the one in the midle point of that show...
AA> I recall seeing an episode of this years ago on YT and the
AA> featured singer was the then yet-unknown recent singer of
AA> Nightwish.
Yes Floor Jansen did some amazing performances on that show!
Bye, Wilfred.
