Only Anneke could be this charming, adorable and funny for screwing up live and then proceed to absolutely crush it and bring the crowd to silence under her amazingly beautiful voice. She is so beautiful, inside and out. I understand why Devin Townsend used her so often in his work.
What a nugget! I was beaming the whole time watching her mega-cute performance. It felt as if she had been in the living room with friends instead of on a stage in front of strangers.
Cette jeune femme est tellement géniale, artiste talentueuse, jolie, intelligente et avec beaucoup d'humour. Elle mériterait qu'on la voit beaucoup plus dans les médias et qu'elle ait enfin le succès qu'elle mérite ...
This lady has a unique voice and she smiles and laughs from her heart and open mind. About 28 years ago with The Gathering to this day. The Netherlands should be proud of her.
Outside the Netherlands they love Anneke because she is unique in voice and personality. It is sadly a sad fact that the Dutch media is paying more attention to musical duds and mediocre singers who cannot produce decent sound without auto tune. But they fit in the narrow box of the Hilversum clique. Musical stars like Floor Jansen have only recently become known to the Dutch public while she is already a superstar in many parts of the world. I can't think of any other country that produces as many top female singers as the Netherlands at the moment, but for some the rating and valuation is very low. That is a fact.
As a Dutchie: Let her be less known here but a superstar elsewhere. The Netherlands are used to export treasurable, exotic goods to the rest of the world. This means she can buy groceries around the corner without much trouble, but be worshipped a few hours away. But those in this country who know her, will love her and let her spread her wings!
Love the realness of Anekke!... probably Gunna mess this up..but play along!.. none of this I gotta be perfect a 100% with auto tune... real creates feel!.. good on ya sweetheart!
In the early 1980's I saw Miles Davis at Lincoln Center in New York, and he began playing a song that sent a gasp through the audience. It was this song. Miles Davis playing Cyndi Lauper! And it was so beautiful. Hearing this lovely version reminded me of that moment.
Annie is just fantastic!!! Best stage presence, she's adorably beautiful, and she has incredible vocal abilities...hoping to see her perform live some day, but this was really cool to watch and listen to - her connection to the audience is magic 😁
Oh my god. Notthe voice i was expecting but i am like shook... her voice is amazing. Her sense of humor is phenomenal That was just wow. I need more music from her
Wow! This just showed up in my recommended list, and I am glad it did. I have performed this song myself... the boldness and honesty of this lady, plus her voice add up to beauty beyond measure 😇 a voice directly from heaven
Oh my word!!! Anneke is funny, and lovely, and animated, and quick, and smart, and a wonderful singer and ... every good thing possible, at once!!! Thank you for defying her wishes and youtubing this!!!!
If you watched this and didn't just fall in love with Anneke, I have to question your humanity just a little bit. I've watched this countless times and it still captivates me.
I want to have word with the 1.9K people who gave this a thumbs down? WTF is wrong with your ears and your minds? She did a great job. It's a beautiful cover.
Et vas-y qu'elle déconne, elle est très drôle, je suis plié, j'adore son humour, et d'un coup elle se met à chanter... et là... j'ai mis un petit peu de temps à me rendre compte que j'étais en train de pleurer tellement j'étais ému... Magnifique.
That's the way to do it. Charm everybody with a cute, self-deprecating speech on how "hard" it is to play a bar chord, and then blow them away with a lovely, heartfelt performance of a great song. The best artists are the ones who don't know how good they are, and you are one of them Anneke :-)
Wow, i wasnt expecting that! Never heard anything of her before and then, after that funny talk she started singing and i got some instant shivers and even a small tear in my eyes. What a great performance! Love it. =)
You are watching a true warrior woman / she is light she is love with a killer smile big eyes truly a gift from the universe , hoping to meet her some day
Lovely! As a misanthrope with an axis II disorder, anything that gets my head to dissolve into heartfelt feelings is extraordinary. Anneke is extraordinary. Great supportive audience as well. A flower won't bloom unless the sun is shining.
The voice is mesmerizing! ! And her cool 😎 way of presentation along with the awesome guitar playing.. .. Whoohoo.. .. Totally bowled over. .. . Way to go Anneka! !!
So so beautiful, sweet and authentic, thank you anneke for being yourself one hundred percent! plus beautiful voice, but your being is shining through! THAT's what I'm talking about when teaching authentic free stage presence!
Every time makes me (para-socially and non-literally, of course) fall in love Anneke - so good. Thanks
Only Anneke could be this charming, adorable and funny for screwing up live and then proceed to absolutely crush it and bring the crowd to silence under her amazingly beautiful voice. She is so beautiful, inside and out. I understand why Devin Townsend used her so often in his work.
And Arjen, the maestro.
What a nugget! I was beaming the whole time watching her mega-cute performance. It felt as if she had been in the living room with friends instead of on a stage in front of strangers.
Watching this, year after year…….time after time. It never gets old.
Me too 😀 She talks so lovely about her own fail and I always must smile 😀
She is a charmer …. And talented and beautiful …
Cette jeune femme est tellement géniale, artiste talentueuse, jolie, intelligente et avec beaucoup d'humour. Elle mériterait qu'on la voit beaucoup plus dans les médias et qu'elle ait enfin le succès qu'elle mérite ...
She hasn't even started singing and I love her already. Xx
This lady has a unique voice and she smiles and laughs from her heart and open mind. About 28 years ago with The Gathering to this day. The Netherlands should be proud of her.
I'm with you on that.... what a beautiful soul.
So beautiful and emotionally touching. Thanks from Texas, USA.
oh god i love this woman
She's such a sweetheart and her voice is really heavenly
To the 2K who put a thumb down I hope that one day you find enough love in your heart and soul to fully appreciate this song one day.

Here in Brazil too..
It's the same in Germany. 😢 Noone wants to take risks and try something different, besides the mainstream.

No words needed….the most charming Performance of TaT the world as ever seen. I‘m in love right now!
TRY not to cry at this fabulous rendition of Cindy Lauper's song. Just one of the best covers ever.
Everyone loves Anneke :) xxxx
Chills then tears... Bravo!
Cyndi Lauper has a huge hit with Girls just want have fun, but she will be remembered for this song .who doesn’t love it , it’s immortal.
True colors was great too.
The crowd loves her immediately! Such a talent.
First she made me laugh, then she made me cry. Amazing voice 💗
What a sparkling personality and beautiful voice! Anneke is a gem! ☺
If everyone was so humorous, pretty, and melodious, all at once.
Love the realness of Anekke!... probably Gunna mess this up..but play along!.. none of this I gotta be perfect a 100% with auto tune... real creates feel!.. good on ya sweetheart!
This is my first time listening to Anneke. Did not expect THAT voice!!! Wow!!!
The sweetest, the most humble, purest, ...woman ever ( I can't find the right words to describe her. )
You can immediately tell that the crowd was mesmerized when the audience fell silent the moment she sang.
The crowd knows her. The crowd knows her abilities/talent/radiation/vibe/loving character/etc❤
The most beautiful human being I've ever seen. Great voice and guitar picking as well.
У неё очень красивый голос, Новосибирск сней и один фанат тут есть уже)
It seems this video went kinda viral. Anneke deserves it and so much more.
She makes any song better. What a voice.
In the early 1980's I saw Miles Davis at Lincoln Center in New York, and he began playing a song that sent a gasp through the audience. It was this song. Miles Davis playing Cyndi Lauper! And it was so beautiful. Hearing this lovely version reminded me of that moment.
Very very enjoyable... She is really a good singer and a sweet person...
Captivating.....and beautiful....once again from Anneke, thank you so much.....pitch perfect....again! Love from England,G x
Annie is just fantastic!!! Best stage presence, she's adorably beautiful, and she has incredible vocal abilities...hoping to see her perform live some day, but this was really cool to watch and listen to - her connection to the audience is magic 😁
Oh my god. Notthe voice i was expecting but i am like shook... her voice is amazing. Her sense of humor is phenomenal
That was just wow. I need more music from her
Check out her work with devin Townsend. It's really phenomenal
Never questioned why devin respects and adores you like he does. This another reason why, beautiful anneke.😍
What an amazing voice.
She handles the crowd incredibly well.
-- . . . All the while coping (within the self-conscious and vulnerable).
Voice of an angel and so in love with her audience, and her performance is so genuine. I'm a fan.
I love Anneke's personality. She's so wholesome.
It's not often you get to see a comedic musician who has the voice of an angel...
Well said good sir!
Well ..it is totally IMPOSSIBLE to NOT fall in LOVE with her after watching this wonderful version!!
So glad someone disobeyed her orders and recorded this for TH-cam. Wonderful performance.
Well she said not to youtube it IF she made an ass of herself, so I think it deserved to be youtubed because she nailed it ;)
Her voice is so goooooood, we're so lucky to have people like her on this planet 😍
I love her! She is very honest. Praise the Lord the audience were also wise!
OMG she could do standup, she's hilarious!
Such a soft, beautiful voice, combined with an adorable personality. Anneke, you are an angel in disguise.
Both the personality and the amazing voice is like honey for a broken spirit. Thank you!
Thank you to the one who uploaded 🙏namaste
Watching the rain beside the mountains, I listen to this song and weep in joy!
This was in my recommended. I love her accent so much it's really pretty. Now I listened to her sing and it put me in the feels.
Wow! This just showed up in my recommended list, and I am glad it did. I have performed this song myself... the boldness and honesty of this lady, plus her voice add up to beauty beyond measure 😇 a voice directly from heaven
Oh my word!!! Anneke is funny, and lovely, and animated, and quick, and smart, and a wonderful singer and ... every good thing possible, at once!!! Thank you for defying her wishes and youtubing this!!!!
Anneke Van Giersbergen, thank you for existing and doing what you do. I'm literally crying with emotions from what you just accomplished.
she is so good, you will regret if you dont watch it... her voice is like an angel
If you watched this and didn't just fall in love with Anneke, I have to question your humanity just a little bit. I've watched this countless times and it still captivates me.
Devin Townsend send me here...
omg...she's GORGEOUS!!!
Just fell in love 2 mins back ❤️😝
Wetter vor ein Jahr
Another one bites the dust.................I fell in love with this beautiful lady !!!!!!
Wow! This was stunning!
I want to have word with the 1.9K people who gave this a thumbs down? WTF is wrong with your ears and your minds? She did a great job. It's a beautiful cover.
Et vas-y qu'elle déconne, elle est très drôle, je suis plié, j'adore son humour, et d'un coup elle se met à chanter... et là... j'ai mis un petit peu de temps à me rendre compte que j'étais en train de pleurer tellement j'étais ému...
Magnifique.
Sometimes, if we're lucky, an angel descends to Earth and sings to us.
That's the way to do it. Charm everybody with a cute, self-deprecating speech on how "hard" it is to play a bar chord, and then blow them away with a lovely, heartfelt performance of a great song. The best artists are the ones who don't know how good they are, and you are one of them Anneke :-)
What a marvellous crowd engagement. Beautiful. And beautifully sung.
Seen her perform with The Gathering back in '95.....No female singer in the genre can ever top her imho.....humble, beautiful and most of all pure....
that put a massive smile on my face thanks
No word just wow ..................i´m in love
One word: ethereal. Thanks Anneke for putting your beautiful soul into this.
Whoa! Found this by accident , Voice of an Angel absolutely beautiful . Lucky girl you have it all beautiful and talented.
You're officially the sweetest guitar player of the whole universe, great performance by the way...
Wow, i wasnt expecting that! Never heard anything of her before and then, after that funny talk she started singing and i got some instant shivers and even a small tear in my eyes. What a great performance! Love it. =)
Wow. That was captivating. I got chills up my spine.
This woman is irresistible. Never in the history of the world has fumbling been so charming.
Meh.
Yeah ❤️
Charming is the right word :-)
She is delightful.
she knows exactly what she is doing, the personal connection is everything
Hard not to fall in love with Anneke so infectious
Her greatness is in her humbleness and her capability of keeping ot small. That is what makes her exquisite.
She can bring world peace.
Not just a great singer but a fantastic personality.
Charm, talent, good looks, humour.. Well, Anneke is pure gold!!!!
Thanks! This is what music is about. True hearth and practice! THANK YOU!
Anneka's personality & audience rapport is off the scale. As is her beautiful voice. I've hopelessly fallen for her.
Fantastic version of a fantastic love song. She made it her own.

This is AWESOME This is why Live Performance is Amazing and Perfect no matter what is the artist in person and perfect!!!
I love the honesty of everything that was there.
Always refreshing to see that even incredibly talented people get nervous.
Lovely! As a misanthrope with an axis II disorder, anything that gets my head to dissolve into heartfelt feelings is extraordinary. Anneke is extraordinary. Great supportive audience as well. A flower won't bloom unless the sun is shining.

So so beautiful, sweet and authentic, thank you anneke for being yourself one hundred percent! plus beautiful voice, but your being is shining through! THAT's what I'm talking about when teaching authentic free stage presence!
I've never seen her not smiling during singing. I knows her at the beginning with The Gathering in the middle 90'th.
Holy crap. I found your song by chance and now I cry with happiness :-)
One of my fav songs. What an honest tribute.
Beautiful, funny n charming. Lovely voice.
