I was waiting for this react to come Valerie because i knew you would absolutely love this. This is by far my favorite performance of the season and easily one of my favorite duets of all seasons, such a quality performance. Ramses Shaffy who gave us this amazing song is sadly no longer with us but we got his music to remember him, this was the style of music he made. And this song in particular is one that every Dutch person knows, its on top of the evergreen list so to speak. (together with several of Ramses' songs i might add) Ramses did a lot of duets with the love of his life, Liesbeth List (kinda funny because he wasnt into women, but he loved her madly) and some of those songs are equally impactful. His music was all about the feeling and the lyrics, even if sometimes the lyrics seemed to have an odd message, there was always that something, that invisible something he had in his music. If you are curious about Ramses with Liesbeth.. then i have to suggest the song "Pastorale" its an epic song as well. I'm also happy you have listened to the original first because that helps a great deal in understanding how powerful this performance by Stef and Sanne actually is. I can tell you, that evening when this was broadcasted... in many a household the tears were real, we all felt the song as if it was Ramses himself giving it to us one final time. That is also testament to how incredible Sanne and Stef did in this performance, indeed no rehearsal, nothing... just get on stage and access the raw emotions and deliver. And deliver this piece of amazing music they did, such a powerful and intimate performance was given to us by these two amazing talents, i still get emotional when i hear this, its so strong. Ty so much for reacting to this great duet Valerie, i always love what you have to say about any performance, but was extra curious what you'd say about this, like i said.. i knew you'd love it hehehe
Interesting aspect of this performance is that both of them sort of dance around the actual melody obeying to the chord progression but not always singing the original melody. That takes some guts to do especially with a song that pretty much everyone in the Netherlands knows.
You are such an honest warm human being, I wish the world was full of people like you. We appreciate as Dutch people your sincere interest in our language. Great comment, you are Dutch for me.... May Jesus Christ bless you and thank our Father for the love inside of you he has given to you. Shalom Le Vab
This version of the song suddenly reminds me of Jacques Brel, the Belgian chansonnier. Now that was someone who knew how to put passion into his performances.
I admire your passion, hard work and outstanding dedication to your craft. Words are not enough to express how amazing you are, Vocal Splendor Studios.💜
You made a good observation that Dutch songwriters write many songs about life experiences (besides love songs). Dutch traditional music is also called “levenslied” or “life songs”, and they’re very emotional most of the time.
Powerful performance, my favorite of the season. Thank you so much for your reaction, i agree the season was much more about the human experience. Lovely to hear you watched the original performance as well by Ramses Shaffy, much loved singer, definitely born under another sun! My other favorite performance of the season was by Tabitha in the Stef Bos episode, My land is jou land, in Afrikaans, she did a great job there. Much thanks and greetings from Amsterdam! ❤️🍀🌷🌷

waht also was great to see during this performance was how the others were enjoying it. at your first stop the look of the host. great to see how diggy dex was listening , like a prayer. and the reaction of freek when they started singing together. 2 other great duets were the ones diggy dex (the rapper) did. with milow he did SAME LOVE (jij blijft). on this diet it is about how diggy dex loves his mom. when he was 15 or so his parents divorced coz his mother fell in love with other woman. it is also about the reaction of others , friends that suddenly were no friends anymore coz of that. like he said , this still happens. the other duet he did was with suzan and freek , song called LAMPEDUSA. here he sings a letter from a guy that tries to escape his own country to his mother. lampedusa is in italy. in the song the person tells his mom better not tell his dad coz he sees boats sink and people drown. had a talk with my youngest daughter about this season and the one last year. even though season 2019 was spectacular we both felt more connected to this year.
Ramses Shaffy, the original singer of the song lived in a time were free spirits were looked at as very strange. You could give him a piano and he improvised a new song. Have you watched Pastorale? That is my all time favorite song of him.
Valerie I know you already mention it but I realy think you are going to love Tania Kross (opera singer) and Tommy Christiaan (musical singer) with Barcelona. Please that one first 😍 Love your reactions.
You talked about intemisie (hope this is the right word) between them. Most of them knew each other before the recording, unlike the previous season, in the previous season, only Floor knew Henk Poort, mainly from his performance as the Phantom. The other didn't know each other very well. This season people already knew each other well from previous encounters, the circumstances were sometimes pleasant and sometimes not so pleasant, such as with Stef Bos and Milow.
The original behind 'Laat Me' is Serge Reggiani - Ma Derniere Volonte 1977 whiich was a hit for Ramses Shaffy in the Netherlands. Many great Dutch songs were translated versions of (often French) songs. Wim Sonneveld - Het Dorp was liberally translated from Jean Ferrat - La Montagne. 1948 (Toen was geluk heel gewoon) was musically based on Gilbert- O'Sullivan's - Alone, Again Naturally. Nice reaction.
@@digitool5944 True, but the general sentiment of melancholy is from the original. The title "Mountain" had to go. So it became very remote from the original.
Almost all the songs you can find translated in lyricstranslate.com/en/laat-me-dont-mind-me.html As commented there can be a slight deviation from the original.
Let me (be) / don't mind me Stef: Maybe I am born too late or in a land of different light. Always a bit lost, although the mirror shows my face. And I know the pubs. I know the pubs and the cathedrals from Amsterdam to Maastricht. Nevertheless, I will get lost every day. That keeps things in balance. Let me (be). Let me. Just let me go my own way.

I didn’t f*ck my life up. I have no possessions and no objection. And I love, love, love water and earth. I love dismal and expensive. There is no penny that I saved. I.. I simply live from hour to hour. Let me (be). Let me. Just let me go my own way. Let me (...), let me. I’ve always done it this way. Sanne: I, too, will die one day. I really cannot escape that. I’ll then just let my songs roam. For the rest, just go figure it out! For the time being I’ll remain your Sanne and give everything I’ve got. I’ll remain for long and preferably even longer, but let myself be who I am. Let me (be). Let me. Just let me go my own way. Let me (...), let me. I’ve always done it this way.

Ik heb het altijd zo willen doen.
Beautiful reaction. As a native speaker I can confirm that Dutch for foreigners sounds awful, but the lyrics are spot on. And the singing is not the best in the world, but the song and singers confirm that telling a story is far more important.
As you love Beste Zangers, did you know the format has been exported to other European countries? Belgium has Liefde voor muziek. Give a listen to our Dutch Ilse de Lange singing Milow´s song Building Bridges th-cam.com/video/gtYVWsYd9TQ/w-d-xo.html. I also love the duet version with the Belgian Selah Sue th-cam.com/video/juC-fcGINh8/w-d-xo.html. As to Selah Sue, or Sanne, her real name, check out Blame th-cam.com/video/m-xRgP3kKlo/w-d-xo.html
Can you anderstand Dutch? No so its like me when hearing a song in a league not ourselves I love French and Italian but can't speak it or know how to write it
I don't know if you've already watched the video with Ramses Shaffy, but just just in case you didn't, here's the link: th-cam.com/video/w24XB7ikAw8/w-d-xo.html You can find the translation to English here: www.dutchsongs.overtuin.net/translation-70-shaffy-laat-me.html Anyway, there's a song from Ramses Shaffy that he performed together with Liesbeth List: Pastorale, and that song is in my opinion the best Dutch (love) song that ever has been made, you really need to listen to it and see it: th-cam.com/video/ZNR85NbnH0U/w-d-xo.html
That was in 1973. In 2005, at age 72, it was recorded with Alderliefste. Old and fragile... but still that powerfull voice. th-cam.com/video/Ih5i8lEpaH0/w-d-xo.html
@@aukemichels5182 when I watch that last video you mentioned, it always brings tears to my eyes. The love you see between him and Liesbeth List and yes so fragile and when he starts to sing, still the Sun king he portrayed in Pastorale. @Valerie, it would be so nice if you could watch and react to the video from 2005 as well.
It’s such a joy to watch you enjoy these Beste Zangers performances. And what a lovingly reaction. And we also do. You mentioned Tania Kross and Tommie Christiaan - ‘Barcelona’ I would suggest to also watch Beste Zangers 2018: Maria Fusilier performed ‘Lose Yourself’ th-cam.com/video/8YyuIkVSx-8/w-d-xo.html
Im from belgium.. so i can request thé same thing but from belgium. In thé Netherlands it is "beste zangers" in Belgium it's thé same aspect but it's " liefde voor muziek" .. why i follow your channel is simple: you have not only thé musical base.. but i hear every time that you moan. See you enjoying music... Deep from thé heart. Not only looking technical. But feel thé story, i know your dutch is not thé best like my English is not. But you feel thé happiness .. or thé pain.. thé story... I was before contestant in "thé voice van Vlaanderen" (Belgium) and before in 2016 in liveshows of belgiums got talent. My voice is not thé best. But im also a storyteller. My autism is not only a handicap. Ofcourse i want you pay for lessons. I feel good about you as a teacher because you think not only technical. I hope for 1 lesson to try. I can Skype of zoom with An interface and a røde condencer Mic .. so Quality Skype or zoom for music. Hopefully i find how to connect. And keep thé work up. You do it so well
This same song is also done in a much earlier season by the singer Do: th-cam.com/video/KVFq101uBTU/w-d-xo.html A very beautiful Beste Zangers song is the 1st time I saw your face: th-cam.com/video/_MNM_YIfUtk/w-d-xo.html And my one of the favorites is the song Caruso: th-cam.com/video/pq9A-7yA80A/w-d-xo.html That we Dutch like to make fun you can see on this vid where on that day we were celebrate the birthday of our king. The song is caled links rechts (left right) th-cam.com/video/MGBS8S6Lygc/w-d-xo.html
Hello Valerie, I really like your honest and enthusiastic reactions. Especially because I come from the Netherlands 😉 Perhaps you could react to Anouk Maas performing "Zeg me dat het niet zo is" (tell me it isn't true) from Beste Zangers 2015? I think it's bone-chilling. th-cam.com/video/zQ9u2Kr-pMs/w-d-xo.html
Hello over there can you please Check out beste Zangers musical 2021...there is olso a famous face there and great singers I can tel you ....have a wonderful weekend
Somewhere in the video you said "the coaches" this ain't no talent show so there ain't no coaches, the 2 guys are also very big singers and they host the show
I'm sorry, but what a bad performance of a perfect song. Look at the original song from Ramses Shaffy. This are good singers, but can't sing like Ramses.
Stef to me is a modern day bard, a storyteller to the core.
I am crying even if I don't understand a word!
I was waiting for this react to come Valerie because i knew you would absolutely love this.
This is by far my favorite performance of the season and easily one of my favorite duets of all seasons, such a quality performance.
Ramses Shaffy who gave us this amazing song is sadly no longer with us but we got his music to remember him, this was the style of music he made.

I totally agree. Valerie is a very loving person. She’s humming with enjoyment inside.
This version of the song suddenly reminds me of Jacques Brel, the Belgian chansonnier. Now that was someone who knew how to put passion into his performances.
"We're not here to fit in, we're here to stand out." YOU! Just made my day. AGAIN 🤗👍🏻 So thank you for being you! 💚
You are so welcome!
Laat me … Let Me (go my own way).
A translation from the French - Vivre. The Dutch version was originally sung by Ramses Shaffy.
I admire your passion, hard work and outstanding dedication to your craft. Words are not enough to express how amazing you are, Vocal Splendor Studios.💜
Very sincere and on poi t, for someone who doesn't speak the language this is amazing. Quickly becoming my favourite reaction channel.
That final line: Sanne sings “I always did it this way” and then Stef replies and changes the original lyric “I always wanted to do it this way”.
You are a warm person Valerie! I love watching your reactions! :-)
I have listened to this dozens of times in the past week. Amazing!
I know, right? It's one of my favorites, too.
The original is from Ramses Shaffy, one of the most intriguing artists of rhe Netherlands ever. RIP Ramses
Thank you so much. You are such a warm personality❤️
You made a good observation that Dutch songwriters write many songs about life experiences (besides love songs). Dutch traditional music is also called “levenslied” or “life songs”, and they’re very emotional most of the time.
Powerful performance, my favorite of the season. Thank you so much for your reaction, i agree the season was much more about the human experience. Lovely to hear you watched the original performance as well by Ramses Shaffy, much loved singer, definitely born under another sun! My other favorite performance of the season was by Tabitha in the Stef Bos episode, My land is jou land, in Afrikaans, she did a great job there. Much thanks and greetings from Amsterdam! ❤️🍀🌷🌷
The Q and A sounds amazing 👍 and I love what you said about this duet 💛👍
Great way you explained Stef telling the story.. sincerely leads and the voice follows👌🏻😃

By the way....Yesterday, Floor Jansen released her version of 'Let it go' (Frozen) on youtube
Let me (be) / don't mind me
Stef:
Maybe I am born too late
or in a land of different light.
Always a bit lost, although the mirror shows my face.
And I know the pubs. I know the pubs and the cathedrals
from Amsterdam to Maastricht.
Nevertheless, I will get lost every day.
That keeps things in balance.
Let me (be). Let me. Just let me go my own way.
Let me (...), let me. I’ve always done it this way.
Sanne:
I will not forget my friends,
because who’s dear to me, remains dear to me.
And where they live, I should know,
but I lost their last letter.
Surely I will meet them again.
Maybe today. Maybe in a year.
I will kiss and greet them.
Everything will work itself out.
Let me (be). Let me. Just let me go my own way.
Let me (...), let me. I’ve always done it this way.
Stef:
Luckily I am not anchored.
Sometimes I live here, sometimes I dwell there.
I didn’t f*ck my life up. I have no possessions and no objection.
And I love, love, love water and earth.
I love dismal and expensive.
There is no penny that I saved. I..
I simply live from hour to hour.
Let me (be). Let me. Just let me go my own way.
Let me (...), let me. I’ve always done it this way.
Sanne:
I, too, will die one day.
I really cannot escape that.
I’ll then just let my songs roam.
For the rest, just go figure it out!
For the time being I’ll remain your Sanne
and give everything I’ve got.
I’ll remain for long and preferably even longer,
but let myself be who I am.
Let me (be). Let me. Just let me go my own way.
Let me (...), let me. I’ve always done it this way.
I always wanted to do it like this
Ik ben misschien te laat geboren
of in een land van ander licht
Loop altijd wat verloren, al toont de spiegel mijn gezicht.
En ik ken de kroegen. Ik ken de kroegen en de kathedralen
van Amsterdam tot aan Maastricht.
Toch zal ik elke dag verdwalen.
Dat houdt de zaak in evenwicht.
Laat me. Laat me. Laat mij mijn eigen gang maar gaan.
Laat me. (...) Laat me. Ik heb het altijd zo gedaan.
Ik zal mijn vrienden niet vergeten,
want wie mij lief is, blijft mij lief.
En waar ze wonen, moest ik weten,
maar ik verloor hun laatste brief.
Ik zal ze heus nog wel ontmoeten.
Misschien vandaag, misschien over een jaar.
Ik zal ze kussen en begroeten
.
Het komt vanzelf weer voor elkaar.
Laat me. Laat me. Laat mij mijn eigen gang maar gaan.
Laat me. (...) Laat me. Ik heb het altijd zo gedaan.
Ik ben gelukkig niet verankerd.
Soms woon ik hier, soms leef ik daar.
Ik heb mijn leven niet verkankerd. Ik heb geen bezit en geen bezwaar.
En ik houd, ik houd, (...) ik houd van water en van aarde.
Ik houd van schamel en van duur.
Er is geen stuiver die ik spaarde. Ik…
Ik leef gewoon van uur tot uur.
Laat me. Laat me. Laat mij mijn eigen gang maar gaan.
Laat me. (...) Laat me. Ik heb het altijd zo gedaan.
Ik zal ook een keertje sterven.
Daar kom ik echt niet onderuit.
Ik laat mijn liedjes dan maar zwerven,
verder zoek je het maar uit.
Voorlopig blijf ik nog jouw Sanne
en geef ik alles wat ik heb.
Ik blijf heel lang (?) en liefst nog langer,
maar ik laat me blijven wie ik ben.
Laat me. Laat me. Laat mij mijn eigen gang maar gaan.
Laat me. (...) Laat me. Ik heb het altijd zo gedaan.
Ik heb het altijd zo willen doen.
Good translation
milow and Sanne/miss montreal were great together as well (and in english)
Listen to the portugese version of "Laat me" van Maria de Fatima
Watching this reaction for the fourth time. Favorite performance and favorite reaction ❤️🌷😘
This year we have Anneke van Giersberger as one of the guests.
Beautiful reaction. As a native speaker I can confirm that Dutch for foreigners sounds awful, but the lyrics are spot on.
And the singing is not the best in the world, but the song and singers confirm that telling a story is far more important.
Actually, that is what we Dutch think ourselves, but I have heard several reactions by foreigners who think that Dutch actually sound cool...
Please do the original!
As you love Beste Zangers, did you know the format has been exported to other European countries? Belgium has Liefde voor muziek. Give a listen to our Dutch Ilse de Lange singing Milow´s song Building Bridges th-cam.com/video/gtYVWsYd9TQ/w-d-xo.html. I also love the duet version with the Belgian Selah Sue th-cam.com/video/juC-fcGINh8/w-d-xo.html. As to Selah Sue, or Sanne, her real name, check out Blame th-cam.com/video/m-xRgP3kKlo/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful comment...
Can you anderstand Dutch? No so its like me when hearing a song in a league not ourselves I love French and Italian but can't speak it or know how to write it
❤
Please react to some beat it performances!!!!!
You should react to tabitha - best part of me
Make Humen Nature from this is it reaction PLEASE !!!!!!
I don't know if you've already watched the video with Ramses Shaffy, but just just in case you didn't, here's the link: th-cam.com/video/w24XB7ikAw8/w-d-xo.html
You can find the translation to English here: www.dutchsongs.overtuin.net/translation-70-shaffy-laat-me.html
Anyway, there's a song from Ramses Shaffy that he performed together with Liesbeth List: Pastorale, and that song is in my opinion the best Dutch (love) song that ever has been made, you really need to listen to it and see it: th-cam.com/video/ZNR85NbnH0U/w-d-xo.html
That was in 1973. In 2005, at age 72, it was recorded with Alderliefste. Old and fragile... but still that powerfull voice. th-cam.com/video/Ih5i8lEpaH0/w-d-xo.html
@@aukemichels5182 when I watch that last video you mentioned, it always brings tears to my eyes. The love you see between him and Liesbeth List and yes so fragile and when he starts to sing, still the Sun king he portrayed in Pastorale. @Valerie, it would be so nice if you could watch and react to the video from 2005 as well.
It’s such a joy to watch you enjoy these Beste Zangers performances. And what a lovingly reaction. And we also do.
You mentioned Tania Kross and Tommie Christiaan - ‘Barcelona’
I would suggest to also watch Beste Zangers 2018: Maria Fusilier performed ‘Lose Yourself’ th-cam.com/video/8YyuIkVSx-8/w-d-xo.html
Please react too DAVINA MICHELLE 🤩
Im from belgium.. so i can request thé same thing but from belgium. In thé Netherlands it is "beste zangers" in Belgium it's thé same aspect but it's " liefde voor muziek" .. why i follow your channel is simple: you have not only thé musical base.. but i hear every time that you moan. See you enjoying music... Deep from thé heart. Not only looking technical. But feel thé story, i know your dutch is not thé best like my English is not. But you feel thé happiness .. or thé pain.. thé story... I was before contestant in "thé voice van Vlaanderen" (Belgium) and before in 2016 in liveshows of belgiums got talent. My voice is not thé best. But im also a storyteller. My autism is not only a handicap. Ofcourse i want you pay for lessons. I feel good about you as a teacher because you think not only technical. I hope for 1 lesson to try. I can Skype of zoom with An interface and a røde condencer Mic .. so Quality Skype or zoom for music. Hopefully i find how to connect. And keep thé work up. You do it so well
This same song is also done in a much earlier season by the singer Do: th-cam.com/video/KVFq101uBTU/w-d-xo.html
A very beautiful Beste Zangers song is the 1st time I saw your face: th-cam.com/video/_MNM_YIfUtk/w-d-xo.html
And my one of the favorites is the song Caruso: th-cam.com/video/pq9A-7yA80A/w-d-xo.html
That we Dutch like to make fun you can see on this vid where on that day we were celebrate the birthday of our king. The song is caled links rechts (left right) th-cam.com/video/MGBS8S6Lygc/w-d-xo.html
Its good, but this season, it was to much Dutch songs. Its harder to like a song You dont understand...
Have you ever heard Rapper Tom Macdonald No Lives Matter? th-cam.com/video/t86ClLM3ZGY/w-d-xo.html
Hello Valerie, I really like your honest and enthusiastic reactions. Especially because I come from the Netherlands 😉
Perhaps you could react to Anouk Maas performing "Zeg me dat het niet zo is" (tell me it isn't true) from Beste Zangers 2015? I think it's bone-chilling.

Leave me be, let me go my own way. Just the way i am.
Thank you for your reaction!
I'm sorry, but what a bad performance of a perfect song. Look at the original song from Ramses Shaffy. This are good singers, but can't sing like Ramses.
