First Reaction to Sharon den Adel - Mother Earth Overture & Ice Queen - BEAUTIFUL!

There was so much to enjoy in this! It was a delight to the senses and the musicians were top notch and then our first time seeing beautiful Sharon - wow! #suesueandthewolfman

[@chriso6719]

Within Temptation is a Dutch symphonic metal band , formed by Sharon and her partner , guitarist Robert Westerholt, in 1996, same year as Nightwish. Sharon is mostly self taught. She also has a degree in fashion design. She designed a lot of her stage outfits. Ice Queen is my favorite from them, it was their commercial breakthrough song from the 2nd album, Mother Earth. Their 8th album , last I heard, is supposed to be released this year. They are based in symphonic metal, but move around into other styles a lot. Since you like the orchestra, check out anything from the Black Symphony concert, 'Our Solemn Hour' is a good one. they've also done a lot of collaborations, including Paradise (What About Us) with Tarja. Why am I not surprised Kent was involved in the new addition? LOL

[@Monique-bx6ro]

Yessss another female fronted symfonic metal band and yes ofcourse she is from the Netherlands The bands name is “Within Temptation”

[@jonathanratliff4780]

Sharon is one of the true Dutch symphonic metal queens. She is so gorgeous and as someone else here has stated, she designs all her own outfits. One thing here, that Within Temptation was never mentioned, she and her band that she formed. She solely identifies with her band, they are very tight team. So much so that Sharon does not have any direct social media presence, only official sites are Within Temptation. She has only briefly done any solo work some years ago (My Indigo), but found inspiration to recommit fully to her great and grand music through her and her team in Within Temptation. Regrettably they do not get enough exposure due to all the Nightwish fawning that goes on. Within Temptation is my third favorite band next to Epica and Lord Of The Lost.

[@chrissturkenboom6080]

Yes, I like Within Temptation, Epica, Nightwish. I love that Sharon den Adel and Floor sang together in the song Beyond Me from After Forever. Sadly enough there is not a good live performance but, they did perform this song live. It is very, very good. Also Sharon den Adel worked together with Areyon. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘💪🇳🇱🌷🤗

[@jsmoor4988]

Yes next Dutch metal queen !! Finally, because she and her band deserves it (coming out of the Nightwish and Epica shadow) Dank je wel is Dutch for (indeed) thank you very much. Sharon den (of) Adel (nobility)

[@theglanconer6463]

Thank you and congrats !

[@chrissturkenboom6080]

Hello and thank you. I've been to Nightwish concert in Amsterdam. I tried to get tickets to Within Temptation (Sharon den Adel) colore tour with Evanescence but, it was already sold out. I've also been to Epica concert in Amsterdam. All of them are so good. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘💪🇳🇱🌷🤗

[@charlyvanbuuren2947]

Yes, Dutch again, like Floor Jansen, Anneke Giersbergen, Simone Simons from Epica, OG3NE, etc. Dankjewel is indeed thank you in Dutch. They performed in the part of Belgium where they speak Dutch ( Flemish is a Dutch dialect).

[@janeverse4555]

@Charly van Buuren Besides Floor Jansen, Anneke van Giersbergen, Simone Simons and Sharon den Adel we have 2 other great dutch metal frontwomen. Charlotte Wessels of Delain and Dianne van Giersbergen, solo (ex Libris).

[@rianvandenhoof4124]

She did a wonderfull duet with Anneke van Giersbergen called (I`ll find you) somewhere....within temptation is the name of the band and a beautifull duet with Floor with a song called `beyond me~ that song was from After Forever, the former band where Floor was in for years. Great Dutch talented woman we have here..... Love it.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

Sharon den Adel (A as in yacht) and the A is stressed is a Dutch metal singer in the band Within Temptation. And "Dank u wel" is Dutch ( meaning Thank you very much in the polite form).

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Another Bomshell from The Netherlands 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@riconl2937]

Sharon is amazing! When she smiles, I melt 😉

[@christinaalgate4899]

Hi Suesue and Wolfman. How's the weather. I really like Sharon singing Thing I should of done on a show like Beste Zangers. Sharon is a year younger than Anneke. 49 and 50 this year

[@marks5451]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@rnowak85]

Love Sharon. You should checkout the original music video for Ice Queen to see her beautiful costume and her hand dancing. She was inspired by traditional Balinese dancers which she saw as a child while living in Indonesia. Next you should checkout her duet with Anneke van Giersbergen doing the song Somewhere from the Black Symphony concert. Often consider the most beautiful duet ever.

[@erickvermeulen9734]

Great you like this performance by the lead vocalist of Within Temptation. If you can find footage of the Black Symphony concert of Within Temptation, you definitely must check out the song Somewhere featuring Anneke van Giersbergen. I am sure you will love it.

[@MrAlexvonk]

Within Temptation's Black Symphony concerts. Mindblowing!!

[@kentk2215]

🦨😉 glad the package made it.

[@TheSissie]

Ahhhh your the greatest to show and listen to Sharon, again some great singer from my country The Netherlands. 😉😁😁😁 so funny your are guessing where she is from…..and again just like Floor from my country. You have to listen to Anouk she also a famous and excellent Dutch singer!

[@windmill10]

In the Netherlands and the Flanders region in Belgium we speak Dutch. It sounds a bit different because of the accent but it is virtually the same.

[@MY1BLACKCAT]

Within temptation is the first symphonic metal band i ever heard and they are why i love symphonic metal the most of any other kind of music - and this isnt even the best i have ever heard from them

[@BrendonChase_2015]

Here's an idea: A two for one deal with WT's golden oldie "Stand My Ground". You can do their 12M views official music video first, followed by the live version at Java-Eiland, Amsterdam in 2005 (a skunk's throw from where we lived). Here's the search title for that performance: "Within Temptation - Stand My Ground (Live At Java-Eiland, Amsterdam)". Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘🦨

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

good idea!

[@bufferl]

In the end i understood "Danke" that's german and it means in english "thanks" i don't know where the concert has been given but for me it looks like belgium und maybe the flemish part of belgium say to thanks also danke... but i don't know it exactly.

[@crhu319]

That performance would slay as much in Nashville as in Rotterdam. Within Temptation is universally appealing imho.

[@jeffreyscholte4737]

Bless you, Wolfman

[@fennie70]

again dutch whe have a smal country en manny manny great artist :) Dankjewel is indeed thank you in Dutch. They performed in the part of Belgium where they speak Dutch

[@rvb2986]

[@jameshaberkorn8728]

Enjoyed this one. Anyone who enjoyed this would also probably like Alan ParsonsProject live from Columbia. Thanks for this one.

[@mintzehofstra7145]

More within temptation so more sharon den aldel check out Black symphony

[@jeffreyscholte4737]

In Belgium they speak Dutch in the Vlaanderen (top) part and French in the below part! Sharon den Adel is Dutch

[@martinschenk4286]

Ice Qeen songtekst: When leaves have fallen and skies turned into grey The night keeps on closing in on the day A nightingale sings his song of farewell You better hide for her freezing hell On cold wings, she's coming You better keep moving For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale Come on, just feel it Don't you see it? You better believe When she embraces your heart turns to stone She comes at night when you are all alone And when she whispers your blood shall run cold You better hide before she finds you Whenever she is raging She takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen? The ruins of our world Whenever she is raging She takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen? The ruins of our world She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak The sun awakes and melts it away The world now opens its eyes and sees The dawning of a new day On cold wings she's coming You better keep moving For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale Come on, just feel it Don't you see it? You better believe Whenever she is raging She takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen? The ruins of our world Whenever she is raging She takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen? The ruins of our world

[@MartMatthijs]

She is Dutch. Dank je wel meens thank you. Andel is a village in the Netherlands. Her name meens from Andel. A place in the Netherlands.

[@robgerhardterellen1488]

Great reaction, therefore the whole Black Symphony concert from Within Temptation is highly recommended for your next video comments, 2 hours of music ecstasy ....

[@richardwest6358]

They are a Dutch band

[@christinaalgate4899]

Sharon does duet with Anneke and one with Tarja. Sharon doe a duet with Floor with After Forever I think.

[@wimvank.7463]

How many more Dutch front women do you nee? Lol. Small country, huge amount singers.

[@petervanderstraten1547]

language is dutch ,same as Sharon (she is the singer of Within Temptation), and in this part of belgium ( Flanders) they speak dutch (Flemish) , the other part (Walonia) speaks French.

[@EyesOfGehenna]

Belgium has 3 official languages: Dutch, French and German. The north and west of Belgium (roughly) speak Flemish (Vlaams), which is a dialect from Dutch. It's named after the region Flanders (Vlaanderen). The south speaks French and the eastern area is duolingual (German and French). The country is situated south of the Netherlands.

[@kentk2215]

Gasundeit. Belgium doesn’t really have it’s own language, unless you count Flemish, a derivative of Dutch. They speak mostly Dutch in northern Belgium and French in southern parts. Keep “acting up” Wolfman!

[@hollandduck79]

yet another beautiful Dutch🇳🇱 metal🤘queen👸 it's just in the Dutch drinking water 🤣🤣

[@mandje2002]

if it ain't dutch it ain't much... 🤘🤘😉

[@VerMusic]

Hi. Can you react to the "I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO" Cover by Tommy Johansson? :) It´s very amazing.

[@rianvandenhoof4124]

another very good artist......... i just listened to the Phantom of the opera by him....simply amazing.

[@somedutchguy2062]

Hi you two, The pronunciation was not perfect, but clearly understandable. Dutch is difficult. Sharon is from the Netherlands, singer of the Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation, sometimes performing solo, like with this number from the band. Seen them live several times, love them always. Sharon has been greatly inspired by the wonderfully talented and versatile and beautiful Kate Bush. 'Mother Earth' and 'Ice Queen' are one of the classics of Within Temptation. Check it, you won't regret it. Greetings.

[@MartMatthijs]

The languages ​​Dutch German English Norwegian Swedish Belgium Austria Swiss and the Finnish languages ​​are Germanic languages. Other Eastern European languages, for example, are Slavic languages, which are completely different. French Italy Spanish Greek are Romance Languages ​​that are different again. The Dutch learn French, English and German or Spanish languages ​​at school. So they speak several languages.

[@Muck006]

I like both songs ... but I dont like this version, because the vocals are drowned by the music. Since Sharon sings at a rather high pitch it is difficult to actually understand what she sings.

[@joslauwers7960]

In the Northern part of Belgium Flemish is spoken. It is a softer variant of Dutch with own words etc that we do not use in the Netherlands. "Dank je wel" is dutch for Thank You. Please react to Within Temptation feat. Anneke van Giersbergen the song Somewhere: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZbUc6B7hJqAfqc.

[@kentk2215]

For a girl, maybe the honorable Miss Petunia Skunkington, first of her name? 🤷🏻‍♂️ For a boy, maybe the honorable Master Percival Odiferous Skunkington? I don’t have any perfect name ideas.

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Wolf made a crude joke about the word "master" ..... sigh... I think it's a girl! Petunia it is!
