#WithinTemptation #Anneke #Reaction
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
Btw. Sharon was sick with cold only 2 days before the show. So the whole thing was gigantic push from her part. She really showed her worth.
within temptation feat annisokay sharon with more of everything (chest,belt etc )
Anneke is probably one of THE MOST underrated singers and performers. Its criminal how unknown she is beyond the European metal circles.
Is she? I think she was before she collabed with Devin but it's been 10+ years since then, so I think a lot more people know her, now.
Watch the Beste Zangers 2021 with Anneke..
Check south America and Asia. The Gathering and Anneke's solo career were/is huge!
Anneke is universally loved and praised I think. She's my favorite female clean singer for sure.
Here in Chile he has a very important mass of followers, due to his time in The Gathering and his projects such as Vuur and Agua de Annique... And if you're absolutely right, it's really criminal how little known she is, with similar talent she should be one of the most awarded artists in the history of modern music
"I've never heard Within Temptation before"
Oh boy you're in for a treat 👀
I never imagined, anyone like this could even exist! (excluding children)
WT is legend (eventhough I don't listen to them, I know them for ages).
Oh *yeah!* 😃🤟
So much more to her voice than this song could ever show.
I like the track "Ice Queen". Here's a great live version from years ago...
th-cam.com/video/jpU5GBbAW5g/w-d-xo.html
TRUTH
Anneke is the most emotional and cheerful voice ever, especially in the old The Gathering albums, like Nightime Birds. Also, when seeing her live, she is so accessible and close to the public and the fans. This is tranposted in her Music and Sharon is also the same cheerfull singing, perfect duet.
Even to this day, "Kevin's Telescope" and "Shrink" make my eyes watery... 🥹
Sharon den Adel, pronounced “denADDle” is self-taught. Anneke is essentially the Godmother of Dutch singers; the main vocal influence behind Sharon, Simone from Epica, and Floor Jansen, among others. There certainly is a lot more to hear from these two ladies.
Still i think Floor is better...
Anneke is a great singer, but I can't stand her voice. It's simply not my cup of tea.
Tiefe dunkle Mitternacht thank god it’s not just me
Pronounced den Ah-del fyi
Yes, and AN-neke, not an-NEK-e.😊
Anneke's voice, smile, face omgg she is so beautiful in so many ways..
I was at the actual concert. I couldn't hold back my tears, so beautiful!
Anneke Van Giersbergen is my all time favorite singer. Her solo work is great, especially Annie’s album The Darkest Skies are the Brightest.
They are amazing albums Anneke has beautyful voice
Anneke van Giersbergen is featured heavily on Devin Townsend's "Addicted" album. Since you're a Devin fan, might be worth checking out their power combo!
Love that By A Thread live show!
That album is awesome. Awake! Is so catchy.
@@ferox965 Awake is the song the really first got me into Devin. That By a Thread performance is so good
Please react to Ih-Ah! with Anneke and Devin
Supercrush for me. Her verse parts are soooooo smooth and delicate yet so powerful.
I would recommend Within Temptation - Paradise (What About Us?) ft. Tarja next.
Yes! That is a wonderful duet. This one was excellent, I had not heard/seen it before and am not familiar with Anneke, but I love her voice too.
Thanks for this Iria. Great choice!
@@TheCharismaticVoice Of course, no problem!
yes!
@@TheCharismaticVoice Also, highly recommend Angels to really show of Sharon's voice. She was just getting over an illness during this performance
YESSSS!!! You're finally listening to the other two Dutch "queens" of metal. If you like Anneke, apart from her former band The Gathering and her own projects, she collabs a lot with Devin Townsend (for example, the songs Grace, Ih Ah and Supercrush) and sings the song Valley of the Queens with Floor and Marcela Bovio (which has lovely harmonies). Also, Within Temptation has a song with Tarja Turunen called Paradise (What about us?) ;)
Honestly for Valley of the Queens she should do at least 3 different versions in one video. There is the Star One version, Stream of Passion version, Gentle Storm version, 2 Ayreon Versions. Not to mention the acoustic versions. Clocking in at around 3 minutes 3 different versions wouldn't be that taxing.
love Valley of the Queens as well.
With all due respect the Netherlands has way more than just 3 queens of metal. :)
@@AbsoRuud76 clearly there's more than three. But for me that is unknown with more than three, how many are there, and could you name some of them, please?
@@jonnyjohnsen7972 Simone Simons for sure, other ones are Marloes Voskuil (vocals, bass), Merel Bechtold (guitar), Irene Jansen (vocals and yes, Floor's sister), Alma Alizadeh, Caroline Westendorp. I'm sure there's more, half of these are from memory, the other half are from my friend google. :)
Anneke is fascinating. I had the chance to see her live in one of her last performances with The Gathering in Mexico, and it’s perhaps the best concert I’ve ever attended. Her voice is beautiful and versatile, conveying a multitude of emotions. It’s truly wonderful to experience her vocals. It would be great to see your analysis of a song from her time with The Gathering, “Travel” would be fantastic.
Need to see Anneke with her first band back in 1996. The Gathering - Strange Machines live at Pink Pop Festival 1996.
Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/1HUMwinV2AQ/w-d-xo.html
Try 👍:
Ice Queen (this is their break song)
Mother Earth
Stand my Ground
Angels
Covered by Roses
Faster Let us burn
Caged
What about Us (this is with Tarja Turunen)
These band is my third favorite band. Not that you ask but NightWish is first, then Tarja Turunen and then Within Temptation. I know almost every single song of these three bands!!!
Just a few recommends!!!!
Our farewell live at lowland 2004 (hum, no, that's mean to sharon)
Entrer
Yay! I also recommended some of these songs on a previous post! I second this post.
Ice Queen and Angels :) Yes!!
All these are great, and a lot of these are part of that Black Symphony dvd/blueray, which is the same concert as this video, with the full orchestra!
Wanna add memories to your list
I've long thought Anneke had one of the most beautiful vocal tones in the world. This doesn't even scratch the surface with her.
Agreed!!
@@allenhuling598 Ditto!
Yep
I see Within Temptation, I click like! 👍🏽
Sharon den Adel is one of the best female vocalist in this genre. Their music is constantly changing from album to album, however this particular concert, The Black Symphony show, was amazing. You can pick almost every song from that show and you won’t be disappointed.
I personally recommend “The Heart of Everything”, it’s one of my favorite.
more of Anneke, either solo or with The Gathering, such an incredible voice
She should also do one of Devin's songs with her! There are plenty!
Sharon was sick during this recording, she said in the DVD's behind the scene portion that she had a cold so that's why she sounded congested (of course, if you've never heard Sharon before you won't know that. hahahaha)
I remember seeing Within Temptation live when I was younger and part way through Sharon apologised for sounding a bit off as she was ill. She was literally album perfect sounding. Just incredible how talented a singer she is!
why is there always someone like you in the comments bringing down the mood? Stop being such an annoying fanboy.
@@Monscent I assume your comment was about my comment and not Zack. If correct, it was not my intent to belittle anyone so not sure which part of my comment you found annoying. I certainly am a fan of Sharon and of Elizabeth. I was stating that Sharon sounded great even though she was not at 100%. I was also stating that I did not expect Elizabeth to know that as this was her first time listening to Sharon. I love Elizabeth's learned and very entertaining reactions and commentaries and have watched many of her videos. A fanboy? Yes, of both, so why stop? Why was giving the video a like and leaving a positive comment (which helps Elizabeth's in how TH-cam makes recommendations) a bad thing? Not angry or even annoyed, just curious.
I'd consider myself a Within Temptation fan (not their biggest fan, but still). I've been to two concerts, have some of their albums + of course the Black Symphony Blu Ray. But I wouldn't call Sharon an exceptional live singer. She's certainly not bad, I'd even go so far as to call her good. But her voice often sounds like it could "break away" every moment. (Sorry if that's not the correct term, English is my 2nd language - but I hope you know what I mean.) She sounds like she's pushing it, especially on the high notes. Her falsetto is fine, but when she's doing head voice... IDK. I should add when I wrote "always" I meant all the live performances of her _that I have heard_, which is of course a very limited subset. So... maybe I got unlucky. If you can recommend a good live recording, I'd be eager to listen to it and change my opinion :)
Interesting how their voices remain so distinguishable. You'd probably love to hear Floor Jansen sing with her inspirer Anneke in the Ayeron project - Valley of the Queens. They are accompanied by Marcela Bovio who backs them individually. th-cam.com/video/TbebO5BZi-I/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic! Thanks.
That "Valley of the Queens" was a rabbit hole for me, making me discover the Ayreon projects, and a group of great guest singers I didn't know (Marcela Bovio, Michael Mills, Damian Wilson...) and rediscover singers I knew before but not in this context (the Jansen sisters, Tommy Karevik, Anneke). Very inspiring project !
Go up, sir.
YES!
Floor and Anneke are amazing in that song (they are always amazing), but the star for me are Marcela's harmonies. Pure goosebump fuel.
love Sharon's light and soft voice, my introduction to the band was Stand My Ground many years ago, a truly amazing song.
The Howling is a good sample of her heavier side, but even in that song there is this "lightness"(?) you dont hear in other metal queens, it's something unique with her that truly makes her stand out.
The Gathering's Anneke era is angelic. Best female voice for my taste.
Yees, Within Temptation is finally here! Can't wait.
Edit: Worth noting, Sharon was sick for this concert. So this isn't even her at her best.
She was pregnant actually, it is not really a sickness. Like 3-4 months pregnant.
@@DakonBlackblade2 Oh, was that it? I wasn't really able to find many details, I just read in a few places that she wasn't feeling well before the show.
She actually just recovered, they almost had to cancel the concert since Sharon had lost her voice...
@@DakonBlackblade2 pregnancy is officially declared as sickness. Many women experience many side effects because of pregnancy and singing can be a very impacted part of pregnant woman because of changes in woman's entire stomach area.
@@mauijttewaal Wasn't it that she was pregnant, I might be wrong then, I thought the thing was she was pregnant.
If you want to see more of Anneke you should check out Amorphis - Amongst Stars feat. Anneke van Giersbergen, she is absolutely phenomenal in that song! Also worth checking out is Devin Townsend - Ih-Ah feat. Anneke van Giersbergen.
And Grace, live at the Retinal Circus
Amorphis singer do combine growl and clean vocals in a really cool way
I second that ! Please please react to some more anneke ! She so much deserves it !
Regarding Anneke's guest featuring. It's like a cheat code for a band. Not just a song becomes great but the whole album. Anneke makes everything great.
Amorphis yet another finnish metal band. Also should watch Within Temptation feat. Tarja - What about us.
Cool reaction. Anneke kickstarted all the dutch scene, and Within Temptation is one of the first symphonic metal bands from that scene, so you just witnessed a glorious moment, even more epic considering they had the Metropole Orchestra playing in the background. Pure magic.
The natural step now is to check 'Ayreon - Valley of the Queens', where Anneke sings with Floor Jansen and Marcela Bovio
Anneke is my favourite and you can't change my mind...
Would love to see you react to her band back in the 90s, The Gathering. Strange Machines from their 1996 show is great.
I had always thought of metal as really angry music and therefore I didn’t want to share those emotions. Now I understand it as very emotional, encompassing the whole range of emotions. What I have heard so far on this channel is deeply positive and beautiful!!! I am really enjoying my education.
Thanks for being open minded. There is a lot more to metal music than just raw aggression.
One way to describe it: There's more to metal than just metal ;)
For more emotional stuff you might also want to give 'tallulah' by 'sonata arctica' a try.
@@lalystar4230 thank you I will.
Late to the 'metal' party myself (only 7or 8 years), and ironically enough, Within Temptation was my gateway band into the genre! This journey of discovery has been just awesome.....enjoy yours!!
@@lalystar4230 I concur !
Ohhh I can't wait to see what you think of Anneke van Giersbergen. She has such an incredibly beautiful ethereal voice. I've seen her perform live when she still was with the Gathering and she is fenomenal. Can recommend Travel and Waking Hour
Travel is incredible!
Travel is emotion
Exactly, those two song are her absolute best
Not only is she a fantastically talented musician, but she wear that radiant smile the whole time she's performing! Don't understand why she's not more well-known, truly a gift!
@@allenhuling598 I've met her once during a very intimite livingroomconcert, she has a beautiful vibe and charater, really sweet and funny.
You need to hear Anneke in The Gathering something from Mandylion like Eleanor or Strange Machines.
Anneke has been one of my top 3 favourite vocalists since 1995. There's something with her mix, power and variation that never gets old.
I see you got the octopus.
Congrats! You've summoned an Old One-- No need for a meteor strike after all!.
Haha! I thought the same thing.
Omg...first thing I noticed! Hahaha
Is that Devin Townsend’s octopus? Lol
@@darktitus I thought that too! He had a bunch of stuffed animals in his quarantine live "concerts" =)
Yes! More Within Temptation, please! I still remember the first time I heard them.
To see Sharon belting full-throttle, check Within Temptation's "Faster" or "Sinéad"
Anneke's voice gives me goosebumps. Well, it's been 25 years of chills and I love it.
Within Temptation is one of my favorite live shows to see. I rushed through my work for the day to make sure I don't miss this one. The only positive thing I have gotten from Covid is it allows me to still work from home and catch my favorite content at the same time!
Hopefull you do more Anneke by herself, especially in her The Gathering period. Songs like Travel, Waking Hour and so many more really showcase how unique her voice and sense of melody is (Live from A Noise Severe dvd).
Yes. And for some more "haunting" the song "Alone"
A Sound Relief performance of The Gathering is great too. I still have the DVD! I would basically recommend any and every song from it)))
'Leaves'. Not the original though (as amazing as it is), but Anneke with Danny Cavanagh. Just her voice and his piano. Besides, it's fascinating to see how the feel of the song changes, when sang by the same woman, but mature.
^^This! Anneke is unbelievably good! Travel and Illuminating are some of my favorites. Also something from Mandyllion on a more recent performance would be awesome.
Yes, yes yes Travel and Waking Hour are the absolute essentials
I swear there's no way Sharon can be human. Sometimes when she hits those high notes I literally cannot tell if it's actually her or a violin. And apparently she performed this duet *two days* after having bronchitis. Together they are just ethereal. But Sharon can definitely hit those powerful lower notes too, and she's done a lot of that in subsequent albums! I really recommend The Howling, Faster, and The Reckoning for a look at the other side to her magical voice.
What do you think about Angels, Memories, Sinead or her work together Tarja Paradise or the collaboration with Xzibit Run?
Right?! Also it deserves to be noted that Sharon is completely self-taught - she’s never had any professional vocal training.
I think what really makes me jealous of Sharon is her song-writing ability - she is the sole composer of “Somewhere” & co-wrote the lyrics with the other founding band member, partner, the father of her two kids.
Anneke is an awesome musician and singer songwriter but also would like to compliment her on her hair because she should also be a hair model with all of the different styles along with different lengths and different hair color with these different styles and she rocked them all. Anneke is the queen of hair in music.
Loved your reaction to this one. It’s my favorite duet ever. Sharon has no classical training, yet she is my favorite singer in the world. Her head voice is so light and airy. She also has a lot of power in her chest voice. She is far from technical perfection like Floor, but her voice really resonates with me and moves me more than any other singer.
Totally agree with that statement. Same here.
Same. I think BECAUSE her voice is not technically perfect, it moves me more. For me Sharon and Tarja are my favs.
The moment the preview picture popped up, I instantly got goosebumps and chills down my spine .. been waiting/hoping for this one for a while. Going to be interesting xD
One of my favorite songs from WT. Love to hear them especially in the Black Symphony version.
FINALLY ANNEKE :D Best female voice in Universe and far away :D
anneke and sharon reviewed by elizabeth. I´m happy and excited. 😊
If you're interested in more songs by Within Temptation, I can heartily recommend: The Cross, See Who I Am, Lost, What Have You Done. It might be hard to find good quality live recordings of many of these, WT wasn't as popular back when these songs were new, so recorded versions may be a better listen (What Have You Done especially has a lot of layering and mixing that can't really be done justice to live).
Anneke has one the most beautiful voices ever. You should certainly check her work on the Gathering days.
Anneke has the voice of an angel
Sharon angel 😇
So happy you are going to react to Within Temptation. The wait has been unbearable :)
Wonderful duet by yet another two Dutch ''metal' ladies. Anneke being the inspiration of a whole generation of power voices is definately worth checking on a song of her own. The Gathering - Travel (live TG25 is the best version) gives a great idea of her singing.
A Noise Severe version I would rather pick!
such a good verson of the song!
Sharon has no official training. She admitted that she tried but was too impatient for formal training. To note, she was also sick at this concert. A couple days before she had lost her voice and the concert was almost cancelled. Sharon has a beautiful voice ❤️
Songs of Within Temptation to react to (live) are:
Caged
Ice Queen
Angels
The Promise
Memories
Frozen
The Howling
The Cross
Candles
Enter
Deciever of Fools
Now this is incredible: I just watched the Floor Jansen reaction video and ended up thinking I should recommend Anneke van Giersbergen. Then I clicked the next reaction video and here she is!
Elisabeth, if you're also interested in (mainly) male voices, please react to these TOP VARIETY OF MANY MUSICAL INTRUMENTS/SINGERS: The Source is the 9th studio album from Ayreon, a progressive metal/rock opera project by Dutch musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen, released on April 28, 2017. ‘The Day That The World Breaks Down’ is a song that features all 11 (well known) main guest singers [James LaBrie (Dream Theater), Tommy Karevik (Kamelot, Seventh Wonder), Tommy Rogers (Between the Buried and Me) , Simone Simons (Epica), Nils K. Rue (Pagan's Mind), Tobias Sammet (Edguy, Avantasia), Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), Mike Mills (Toehider), Russell Allen (Symphony X), Michael Eriksen (Circus Maximus), Floor Jansen (Nightwish)] and is taken from that album. Arjen himself is telling (in subtitles) who the singers are and which instruments are used and by what standards.
Btw. The clip is 13 min. long and I think you won’t regret it !! (live chat worthy ??)
Official (Arjen’s) clip: th-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/w-d-xo.html
MisterJ56 good suggestion!
Ayreon... YES!
Poah, Arjen Anthony Lucassen, I really digged his project as Star One, Victims of a Modern Age was a killer album!
That was a beautiful and heartfelt reaction, Elizabeth ❤ It may not be for everyone, but Sharon's voice exudes emotions out of me. For more of her vocals, you may check out The Swan Song from the same live show (Black Symphony), another of WT's beautiful power ballad.
"Something makes me believe Anneke has more versatility"
GIRL YOU HAVE NO IDEA. She is a staple and an icon in the scene. Without Anneke there would be no Floor. Check out her singing in Vuur - My Champion. Or The Gathering - On Most Surfaces ♥
Which does not change the fact Sharon has much better voice, only not trained (she can't really sing with her diaphragma like professional vocalists). With this "Where you are" the reviewer just shouted in amazement.
Floods of tears. I haven’t heard this in over a decade and it just hit me like a wall.
I would love to hear you react to more from Within Temptation!
Yep. Same here.
Within Temptation is one of my favorite groups. I always feel something when I listen to their music, which is not always the case with music nowadays.
...when Floor, Simone, and Sharon heard and saw Anneke... they wanted to be frontladies of a metalband aswell... She inspired all... 1992 The Gathering - Strange Machines live.....The Gathering is now a cult-Metal band in the Netherlands, Anneke didn't found it, she came in after the second album I believe, she was one of a Jazz duet before The Gathering, when she joined, the band skyrocketed....and she inspired many young Dutch girls to be a singer in a heavy sounding band...She was there before Evanescence..and Sharon was the first to don large prom gowns as her stage outfit, also before Evanescence..
Greetings from Finland! I'm glad to be back to witness you reacting to two more amazing Dutch female metal vocalists, Anneke & Sharon, of whom the latter has never taken any singing lessons, but is completely self taught. Anneke van Giersbergen is a legend in her field of music, having started her career with "Bad Breath", but especially with "The Gathering". She also inspired Floor Jansen to become a female metal vocalist when Floor was 16 years old & saw Anneke on stage with "The Gathering".
Try "Angels" with Within Temptation.
It’s important to note that Sharon had been ill before this concert and after seeing WT live twice, I think she was breathier in this performance for that reason. Please listen to more to appreciate Sharon’s range and power.
Greetings from year 2024. Still play this song from time to time. A classic.
those are my two favorites ever! I love their voices. Specially Anneke.
You've heard Floor Jansen, Sharon den Adel, Anneke van Giersbergen, and Simone Simons. There's still two more Dutch metal maidens to check out. Charlotte Wessels of Delain and Dianne van Giersbergen (ex-Xandria singer; no relation to Anneke). Here's more songs to check out:
- "Burning Bridges" by Delain.
- "Nightfall" by Xandria.
- "The Howling" by Within Temptation.
- "The Essence of Silence (Official Live Video)" by Epica.
- "Black Ninja" by Battle Beast.
- "Blind and Frozen" by Beast in Black.
Thanks!
HEY!!!!!! Don’t forget Floor’s sister!!!!
There needs to be more Anneke reactions to her acoustic stuff or the songs she did with Danny Cavannagh. I like her rock/metal vox, but when everything is less boisterous you really hear what an angelic voice she has.
Anneke van Giersbergen has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. I've seen her live with her former band The Gathering several times. Once they gave a very intimate concert in Groningen (NL) and it was really magical. You have to listen to much more of her music. Her voice is incredible and hypnotizing.
Anneke's former band The Gathering are absolute pioneers when it comes to female voices in the metal genre. They started as a Death Metal Band in the early 90's. Even back then and even before Anneke joined the band in 94/95, they mixed male Death Metal vocals with a female voice.
Such a sweet duet, Sharon and Anneke sound real great together 🥰
Anneke with her band 'The Gathering' motivated Floor Jansen to sing metal. :)
How to measure a planet - great album by The Gathering.
Elizabeth, Anneke Van Giersbergen (The G is silent) is one of the best singers that has ever lived! Hands Down! You've never heard her before??? My goodness you've been missing out! She has extraordinary range and control. You should check out Anneke singing "In Motion#1" off the Mandylion album, which was her first record when she was in The Gathering. She actually was a game changer when she entered into that band. They were nothing until they found her. And it truly broke my heart to see her leave. She is awesome and successful as a solo artist, nonetheless. Absolutely amazing singer and songwriter as well! Her words have helped me through some very tough times, and the musicianship backing her up from The Gathering guys is purely Choice!. Talk about gifted!
Thank you for reacting to their song. I am a long time Within Temptation fan. I have the Black Symphony on DVD. I have heard the Somwhere duet at least 100 times and it never fails to give me chills. Sharon is mostly a self-taught vocalist. She met her partner Robert Westerholt (guitarist) while she was in high school and they formed the band in 1996. they currently have three children. She also has a degree in fashion design and designs all the band's costumes. The concert is incredible, so good. One song, in particular, has a deep meaning for me, "Forgiven", it is told from the perspective a suicide survivor to the person she lost. As one who both has and advocates for those with mental illness, the song rips my heart out every time.
The smiles the band members give each other when Sharon and Anneke sing in harmony melts my damn heart.
You should check out "And We Run" by Within Temptation ft. Xzibit. It's amazing, their voices are so different, but in a really good way (the video is pretty powerful, too). One of my favorite WT songs.
Anneke: pronounced /'Ah nuh kuh/ (emphasis on first syllable). By the way, I thought you'd listened to Ayreon's Valley of the Queens before, which features Anneke with Floor. I'm not much of a nationalist, but can't help to be proud of the Dutch girls...
th-cam.com/video/hmXm9f3FKcM/w-d-xo.html yup :)
Anneke always seems so happy when she's singing
Man, having watched this channel for a long time, and going back to this video, I am so happy to see its progression and also to yet AGAIN experience how Elizabeth's skill and professionalism helps me fall in love, over and over, with songs and artists I already love. For someone for whom music is a predominant way of relating to life and the world, this is a tremendous, incredible, nearly unspeakable gift.

I feel 'Memories' by Within Temptation is a fantastic example of Sharon's capacity, if you could please react!
Another great song from within temptation is angels, sharon goes high there too. I'm so glad you did this, I was someone who had commented it and I got so excited when I saw this video
I think you would like Tarot - Tides (live) with Marco Hietala on vocals :)
Unshakable by Slapshock
The Crown by Slapshock
Wake Up by Slapshock Reaction please
The Gathering's "How to measure a planet" (Annekes band) is one of my favorite records of all time
YES! All the albums leading up to and including How to measure a planet are on my eternal playlist!
Hi Elizabet,, I hope you can find some time to react at Anneke’s singing with the The Gatering from their 25 years anniversary. Start with the “Travel”, in this song all the old singers sang together. Also this is a musical experience you should remember for a long time. Enjoy this nine minutes journey!
YASSSS!!! This is one of my favorite duets ever! Couldn't believe it when I saw this come up on your channel. Awesome! React to both of these wonderful vocalists in their own bands. Great stuff!
So Ayreon will be done soon too I'm guessing. To really get a sense of the sheer scope of Ayreon you'd need to either start with: the Eye of Ra from Ayreon Universe, or Songs of the Ocean from Into the Electric Castle Live. Either is fine as they both follow the same format. The ending of both are more or less a but, but, but...
Valley of the Queens!
We definitely need a Damian Wilson reaction, so The Castle Hall shall be!

Twisted Coil with Damian Wilson (from the electric castle show offcourse)
Valley of the Queens (from the Ayreon Universe show)
If u ran out, I will have some other suggestions :D
One of my favourite songs , can’t wait 🙂
I am so glad you chose this song 🤗 it's a beautiful ballad and the vocals blend very well together 👍 thanks very much 🙌 you are sensational ♥️
One of my absolute favorite duets ever. I totally appreciate your detailed analysis of this performance because it just enhances my appreciation.
Please listen Within Temptation's "Memory", At one time, I began to be interested in this group from her.
Best way to start the weekend!!
Anneke van Giersbergen is one of the most unique singers out there.
Thank you for this, Elizabeth! Within Temptation is one of my favorite bands!
It's nice to start by reacting to a ballad, but I would recommend one of the more regular symphonic metal songs for your next reaction to them. "Stand my Ground" is one of my favourites :)
You should consider reacting to The Gathering, with Anneke.
omigosh...you are in for such a treat Sharon is awesome and Annette is awesome....enjoy your discovery!
I dont understand a lot about music and singing on a technical level - I like what I like and I LOVE stuff like this. Music has always triggered a LOT of emotional response from me and I always seem to hear and feel things in songs others miss or dont appreciate but again know nothing about music.
Watching your videos has really helped me not just listen to music but also to put words to the things I just lack the vocabulary for and want to be like "OMG this is amazing no you dont understand just listen did you hear that?".
Its almost a form of relief to be able to listen to something and see someone react to the bits I love who can then explain it - I love learning and understanding things and your videos are so good for that mental "release" or unwinding or whatever you want to refer to it as.
"I went back too far, sorry."
I don't think anyone is complaining. :P
Anneke is vocal goddess, my favourite for last 20 years
thanks you ms elizabeth for upload this videos, the way you analyze the music is very relaxing and peacefull
Nice. Also noticed the Devin Townsend inspired Octopus in the background! Anneke does a ton of stuff with Devin you should check out. Ih-Ah or Grace at the Retinal Circus are cool to check out.
Seconding the recommendation of Ih-Ah. So gorgeous.
The craziest part is that she does this shit in heavy outfits and tight corsets. Like….ones that she makes. She makes all of her outfits and if you pay attention she constantly has her hands on her stomach cuz it’s hard for her to breathe yet she jumps up and down and hits crazy note. She’s super awesome and I highly recommend 😩
Honey you need to react to more Anneke cause she’s my favorite of all metal singers ❤️
Two angel singing, what a duet
Sharon has no formal training. I believe this was toward the middle of the concert though. I don’t believe she normally takes that many breaths. I would actually prefer you watch another song of Sharon’s later on, because her voice is normally fuller and more impressive than it is here. Even though she still did great. She actually is one of my favorite voices in the world.
Rosannasfriend at this concert she just recovered from an illness that had taken her voice
But that timbre of hers rules anyway. Elizabeth said something along the lines, too: beautiful instrument.
Take a look at "Valley of the queens" by Ayreon;you can see how good are Anneke,Floor Jansen and Marcela Bovio together
Gotta love the vocals of Sharon kicking it off ❤
Anneke is the best ! She always has such a charming presence on stage.
She also did some great duets with Danny Cavanagh from Anathema (yet another band she collaborated with - and also a great listen)
