Sharon has an INCREDIBLY beautiful voice. She's just as good live as she is in studio as well. I've always thought if they hadn't wanted to do metal that her and Tarja could have done opera. She actually has a song that is a duet with Tarja.

Within temptation Never ending story

[@dorkyvonmunchmunch9912]

"pretty metal" seems a good description. enjoyable for sure.

[@maggiereneemusic]

👍💖🙏🤗🌺

[@rogerballoujr.6244]

I have seen this band in concert and they are amazing and will always be one of my favorite bands of all time!!

[@chadbennett7873]

My all-time favorite Within Temptation song. I used this as a ring tone for my mother and still think of her as I listen to it. Sharon is an incredible performer, using what I call "hand dancing" as she sings like an angel. WT was my first addiction to Symphonic Metal, and now I have multiple bands. Does that mean Within Temptation is a gateway band?? Incredible live band, I've seen them thrice, which is pretty good for a California guy - they don't get out here very often. Can't tell you how many people I have successfully introduced to metal with this song alone. So glad you covered this song ... and did it justice.

[@richardgoddard37]

You need to see a live performance to really see what they can do. (having said that, the video for "Angels" is a must see)

[@jakemuller8626]

Love that MV and song ❤️

[@KL-qy4ye]

I love the symphonic metal bands that I only discovered during lockdown but Sharon and Within Temptation have become a bit of an obsession. Anything from the Black Symphony concert (with live choir and orchestra) is stunning.

[@nightwishlover8913]

Nice reaction! Did you know Sharon is self-taught? Even more impressive because of that. I'm seeing them with Evanescence in November with my (21-yo) daughter.

[@mikenolan8044]

This is a really fine song. It is stuck in my head now. Loved your reaction. good editing. 🌎

[@maggiereneemusic]

💖😊👍

[@crhu319]

Of all the metal goddesses you've reacted to, Sharon has seemingly the closest style to your own very xpressive speaking voice, Maggie. Opera discourages the kind of breathiness & tight vocal turns of phrase in the head voice that I think musical theater and soundtrack and symphonic metal tend to encourage, if only to stay above the instrumental & be understood. "Pretty metal" indeed. This track is very Kate Bush like.

[@Cyberplayer5]

I am listening to more Within Temptation because of you Maggie, this was great! I first heard Within Temptation "Somewhere" feat, Anneke van Giersbergen. 🌎🌏🌍

[@jeremybilbrey1133]

Ive been a WT fan since the first album..when they were more gothic. I agree, she should absolutely react to the Somehwere video wth Anneke...while shes at it, maybe a The Gathering or Chalice

[@jakemuller8626]

Another Within Temptation song, that's so cool! Thanks Maggie for sharing this and watching one of the most beautiful voices in metal scene, they keep rocking and doing live tours in Europe, i know they're not big like Nightwish but I came to love this band and Sharon a lot more. 🤘❤️

[@RoseForEverafter]

It’s always trippy seeing these old videos because she looks EXACTLY the same. Her voice and techniques have improved a lot over the years though! Check out Let Us Burn and The Purge-you’ll be shocked at the edginess and powerful belts this woman can pull out when she wants to. In these early years she definitely became very known for her sweet, flute-like high notes and has always had just a very beautiful clear tone but she used a lot more of her chest voice now to fit the heavier music they’ve moved to and has a gorgeous rasp in her lower tone. Can still hit those high notes though!

[@geertdelange4785]

Another amazing female singer and Metal band from the Netherlands 🤘🏻🇳🇱

[@themplar]

Man this brings me back. Used to love this band. Then saw them life, and absolutely loathed them for a while. (she was so anyoing with the thank you thank you every song) And later i started loving them again and apreciating the skills and her insane voice.

[@culyc]

you need to listen to her duet with Tarja "paradise: what about us"

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your suggestion. 🤗

[@trixiebella]

Great job Maggie! Beautifully done and such a great song!

[@missrubyphoenix]

Floor Jansen Simone Simmons Elise Ryd Sharon den Adel Tarja Turunen Some of the queens of metal (as in melodic, and symphonic metal) may I recommend you to react or listen to Memories? If you haven't already. That's another lovely song from them

[@michaelriddick7116]

Love WT and Sharon Den Adel! 🥰🥰 Check out their album Silent Force!! Fantastic album "Stand My Ground" being the commercial track (was used as background song in the trailer for the movie "Blood And Chocolate") :)

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your suggestion. 🥰

[@Thorgrim247]

Sharon goes between this type of very delicate and high head voice sound and a more mixed belt sound in her more recent records. i love WT, but may prefer her more mixed belt style of singing.

[@jacobmarriott7971]

Hope you’re having a amazing day!

[@Ratovx]

This band has a DVD with a full orchestra its just amazing, this song is even better there ! Within Temptation and Metropole Orchestra - Mother Earth (Black Symphony HD 1080p)

[@cryptoking7093]

These guys are new to me but it does remind me of Merciful Fate or King Diamond

[@rickrack4812]

Now at age 48, birthday last week, Sharon's voice is still beautiful she has more depth with age of course... They just came out with a brand new song a week or 2 ago called don't pray for me... And we'll be restarting the tour with evanescence and we'll be spending October in North America with Iron Maiden... I shall have to find a way to see them for the 3rd time.

[@lawrencesmallacombe5089]

Evanescence lead me to Nightwish (and FLOOR!)... which in turn led me to more music in the genre such as this. Yo, Maggie! With your voice and your look you would be perfect for this genre! Have you ever considered it?

[@bertwinblok9524]

well she can headbang and hit high notes so Who knows 😀😀

[@rolandropnack4370]

Oh happy day - Maggie did one of my all time favorites! Jay! 😍🎵🎶🦉

[@alexsmanio1692]

Withing temptation with Tarja Turunen in the song calling Paradise it’s the best ever❤️🤘❤️🤘❤️🤘

[@jonathanratliff4780]

I would have so recommended you had reacted to this song performed at their amazing Black Symphony 2007 performance with the Metropole Orchestra....it is so much more powerful and beautiful than this, and Sharon is on FIRE in that one!

[@marionbolder-brugman7423]

DUTCHIES!!!! 🇳🇱💚

[@marks5451]

👍 I hope you check out The Promise from the Black Symphony concert by Within Temptation.

[@ShiftnWolf72]

This song was my gateway into this band :D

[@arestlessguy8501]

Love your reaction, and your voice too!

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you!! 😁

[@arestlessguy8501]

@@maggiereneemusic My pleasure!

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

You need to watch something from their Black Symphony next, maybe the duet with Anneke, but honestly the whole show is amazing, and had the largest jumbotron in Europe at the time

[@Fnug001]

Maggie try react to Hear n’ Aid with stars if you haven’t yet there are all the heavy mucians you love

[@Uriel-Septim.]

You should try a song from the Black Symphony concert (Within Temptation and Metropole Orchestra) any song will do, but may I suggest "The promise" or "The Truth beneath the rose"

[@AaronnaPhiliou]

🌎 Truth Beneath the Rose is my favorite Within Temptation song, but I think you should look into Frozen and Bittersweet too. Angels is a sh👀keth worthy though.

[@SiriusSRX]

I love this song

[@vildoblue3933]

Enter is their best song. Their first album is what is all about.

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

Mother Earth is a great introductory choice to WT 🙂

[@mauijttewaal]

golden oldie! more WT plz, Pale is great and very underrated!

[@mauijttewaal]

later on she has been using her chest voice more...

[@omeriflah7846]

u want to hear a very nice epic clear voice then u need to try some epica u will love it 1000%, please have a try

[@palantir135]

Another Dutch female metal singer. There are more. Lisette van den Berg; singer of the band Scarlet Stories. Dianne van Giersbergen; singer of Ex-Libris. Former singer of Xandria.

[@RedSamurai1000]

I remember watch a anime in the 90s that was the OP music for that

[@alexthorpe6583]

One drawback to this official music video is that it cut out the song’s bridge. It slows down, drops out most of the instruments, and brings in a choir of male voices. I guess someone wanted to keep the video length short.

[@malikaagadir2671]

Hello Maggie💜👍 I love you so much👏

[@crhu319]

A Maggie cover of this would be cool.

[@angeldustavignon3717]

hello, you are ready for Whithin Temptation : "Somewhere" the Black Symphony, a great choice. you ll be introduce to Miss Anneke Van Giersbergen - the first godess of metal in my heart ever ! (before Floor sorry, but Floor is just behind...😅) if you want to see her may I suggest you Waking Hour for their 25th live at Doornroosje or just her and a guitare live in Paris, the cover of cindy lauper time after time. have a great day greetings from Avignon

[@bairnonessie]

They will always be my favourite band. I'm not even going to bother recommending any because there are so many great examples. However, their more recent albums aren't as good as their earlier stuff imo.

[@christinaalgate4899]

Hi Maggie You should react to all the songs from Within Temptation and The Black Symphony.. P.S Sharon and Robert also have 3 kids and are partners not married. I like both of Sharon's higher and lower register.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your suggestion. 😊

[@christinaalgate4899]

@@maggiereneemusic Hi I'm really into a Rock band Trio called The Warning and they are 3 sisters from Monterey Mexico. You should react to their original cover of Enter Sandman and then the new one with Alessia. They are now 22,20 and 17.

[@singingwolf3929]

Way late but check out "In Perfect Harmony" and judge both the vocals AND Lyrics.

[@joekel55]

I don't know if some one saw this, but it's the same owl as in nightwish's ELAN.

[@danilolapierre5610]

Wished you had picked the Black Symphony live version of this song. There is no difference in Sharon's singing but the epic sound of the instruments is multiplied by the orchestra accompanying the band. Also, the music video is not the best as it was recorded at a time when WT were basically unknown thus reducing the visual impact. The Black Symphony visuals are more impressive imo. Anyway, always thanks a lot for doing a reaction on Within Temptation.

[@crhu319]

You've seen nothing yet. Try her live Mother Earth finale at Resurrection Fest 2019. Its jaw dropping and it's at the end of an hour and a quarter show.

[@EgholmViking]

Jeeez.. Well hello teenage years XD Damn its been a while since i heard this one. Can Heartily recommend Ice Queen, Memories and a bunch more that i cant remember the names of right now :P

[@Dann66123]

Epica Next kak....😊

[@albertomartinezjr2888]

Can you react to Superman (It's not Easy) by Five For Fighting?

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thanks for your suggestion.🤗

[@Gant209]

I second this request...

[@romanofranci7835]

Live!!!

[@andreaswennberg9542]

Not a big follower of this band, tho love this song. Should give them more attention.

[@xMasterDevilx]

Please react to Within Temptation- Memories. Greetings from Poland 👍

[@rickrack4812]

A lot of her interpretive dance moves and a lot of her sweeping, floating vocals are very evident in this video.... and most likely influenced due to Kate Bush....

[@jamieburnette2438]

Sharon is completely untrained. A self taught talent.

[@mauijttewaal]

she had singing lessons later on...

[@Aikikris]

Sort of reminds me of a cross between Kate Bush and Sara Brightman.

[@jakemuller8626]

Funny thing (maybe a fact) she didn't heard and knew Kate Bush before so she was intrigued how she sounded, later she did a cover of "Running Up The Hill". 😉

[@danilolapierre5610]

@@jakemuller8626 Yep. WT's cover of "Running Up The Hill" is pretty good. First time you hear it you may think it was Kate Bush herself.

[@mrhyde4153]

React pls. Ekaterina Shelehova - Bulgaria got Talent Semi-Final

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your suggestion. 🤗

[@zubaerchaudhari8267]

Hello

[@plantlord3266]

lovely voice and video but hard to understand her words..maybe just me...

[@Rosannasfriend]

Well she was doing a lot of warbling the chorus in her head voice which is usually hard to understand however beautiful it is. I understand her perfectly in the verses. I prefer their more recent work where she’s using her mixed voice and chest voice more personally.

[@Rosannasfriend]

And I think she’s saying in the chorus “she moves until the end of time “.

[@andrzejszydzik4086]

[@joppepeelen]

bit overacting as she always does ... but vocal wise :) love it

[@OroborusFMA]

Their videos are hilariously bad - but their music actually isn't.

[@hansolo2121]

Why didn't you react to one of many brilliant live performances of this song? So you could have commented on her actual vocal skills as a singer in a live setting. You choose a highly edited studio version to comment on.... Why? I don't understand :( For the purpose of this channel your choice makes no sense.

[@AgenteusaRR]

I used t o love your reactions but you're becoming shadier every video, why do you put LIVE if it's not live, this is an upload and even if you did this LIVE (which is dumb ofc you did) you shouldn't upload it with live... You already did this with 3 uploads and it's really sad....

[@jacobmarriott7971]

Hope you’re having a amazing day!

[@maggiereneemusic]

You too!!
