To be honest, Karin Bloemen is first and foremost a comedienne, stand up and theater productions. I knew as a Dutch person that she can sing well, but this is the first time I experienced her full power and scope of her voice as a singer. She can really appeal to and touch an audience very well, she really uses these skills while performing this song. A great artist, but here in the Netherlands not known in that way.
English Lyrics: Just A Dream - Nelly Note: The lyrics are Dutch, English and a little French. I left the French lyrics as they are. But translated the rest of the lyrics. Karin Bloemen wrote these lyrics about the melody of this song. It is about the passing of Claude's grandmother. For Claude and his family it was not possible to travel to Congo from the Netherlands at that time. So he could not say his goodbyes to her. ENGLISH LYRICS: Dear Claude I was thinkin' 'bout her Thinkin' 'bout me Thinkin' 'bout us What we're gonna be Open my eyes It was only just a dream So i travelled back down that road Will she come back? No one knows I realize , it was only just a dream I wanted to make something completely different for you Because that Nelly song managed to touch your heart The song is about a woman, and so were you Because with you it was your grandmother, a sweet old woman She died, you couldn't go to her Her funeral was in Congo, and going there was taboo No goodbye to the dearest grandmother A woman you have always loved so much And when she died No goodbye for you That hurt you so much And Nelly touched you I was thinkin' 'bout her Thinkin' 'bout me Thinkin' 'bout us What we're gonna be Open my eyes It was only just a dream So i travelled back down that road Will she come back? No one knows I realize , it was only just a dream You still think about her often It was a real sweetheart Unfortunately, you couldn't fulfill her last wish But know that she has always loved you And that she is proud of how you continue to build your career She is proud of you there, where she watches you And believe me, she sees every step and move Ecoutez-moi, Ecoutez moi, tu la portera dans ton coeur Elle prendra toujours soin de toi Elle te protegera et te suivra alors dites avec moi Je t'aimerai toujours , ma cher grand mere I was thinkin' 'bout her Thinkin' 'bout me Thinkin' 'bout us What we're gonna be Open my eyes It was only just a dream So i travelled back down that road Will she come back? No one knows I realize , it was only just a dream If you ever loved somebody put your hands up Now they're gone and you're Wishing you could give them everything If you ever loved somebody put your hands up If you ever loved somebody put your hands up Now they're gone and you're Wishing you could give them everything I was thinkin' 'bout her Thinkin' 'bout me Thinkin' 'bout us What we're gonna be Open my eyes It was only just a dream So i travelled back down that road Will she come back? No one knows Alors , je realise que ce n'etait qu'un reve It was just a dream
It was not Spanish but French what she sang and she did Claude his story within the Nelly song. Claude couldnt go during covid to the funeral of his grandmother in Congo.
De Beste Zanger's concept is that each week one of the singers is the main guest. He or she is always sitting next to the presenter of the program on the couch with just 2 people on it. The other singers either sing a song which was written or published by the main guest or a song which has personal meaning to that main guest. They sometimes translate the song into Dutch or from Dutch into English/French/Spanish. Also they sometimes change the melody a bit to make the song more to their own genre of music.

ENGLISH LYRICS:
Dear Claude
I was thinkin' 'bout her
Thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us
What we're gonna be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So i travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize , it was only just a dream
I wanted to make something completely different for you
Because that Nelly song managed to touch your heart
The song is about a woman, and so were you
Because with you it was your grandmother, a sweet old woman
She died, you couldn't go to her
Her funeral was in Congo, and going there was taboo
No goodbye to the dearest grandmother
A woman you have always loved so much
And when she died
No goodbye for you
That hurt you so much
And Nelly touched you
I was thinkin' 'bout her
Thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us
What we're gonna be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So i travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize , it was only just a dream
You still think about her often
It was a real sweetheart
Unfortunately, you couldn't fulfill her last wish
But know that she has always loved you
And that she is proud of how you continue to build your career
She is proud of you there, where she watches you
And believe me, she sees every step and move
Ecoutez-moi, Ecoutez moi, tu la portera dans ton coeur
Elle prendra toujours soin de toi
Elle te protegera et te suivra alors dites avec moi
Je t'aimerai toujours , ma cher grand mere
I was thinkin' 'bout her
Thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us
What we're gonna be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So i travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize , it was only just a dream
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Now they're gone and you're Wishing you could give them everything
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Now they're gone and you're Wishing you could give them everything
I was thinkin' 'bout her
Thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us
What we're gonna be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So i travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
Alors , je realise que ce n'etait qu'un reve
It was just a dream

Sometimes the singers sing a song that are very precious to the person who they sing to, like Karin Bloemen did for this guy. (Bloemen means flowers)
Karin Bloemen is an underated preformer . She nornally does theater like a stand up commedian ,but as you can see she is also a good singer .
I think you are the first one to react to BZ 2024!

@@SimoneMudde heeft hij ook al op BZ 2024 gereageerd? Want dat bedoelde ik.

I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes, yeah, it was only just a dream
So I travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream
I was at the top and now it's like I'm in the basement
Number one spot and now she find her a replacement
I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby
And now you ain't around, baby, I can't think
I should've put it down, should've got the ring
'Cause I can still feel it in the air
See her pretty face, run my fingers through her hair
My lover, my life, my shawty, my wife
She left me, I'm tight
'Cause I knew that it just ain't right
I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes, yeah, it was only just a dream
So I travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream
When I be ridin', man, I swear I see her face at every turn
Tryna get my Usher on but I can't let it burn
And I just hope she know that she the only one I yearn for
More and more I miss her, when will I learn?
Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby
Hey, she was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm going through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm missing, wishing she'd pick up the phone
But she made the decision that she wanted to move on
'Cause I was wrong
I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream
So I travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
Said if you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
