Please do Somewhere (duet with Anneke van Giersbergen), live from Black Symphony. Amazing performance.

[@fuzzwuzzy1]

Within Temptation and Metropole Orchestra - Somewhere (Black Symphony HD 1080p)

[@Bartjo32]

Great reaction! If you want to see some more of her range I would recommend Stand my Ground (live at Black Symphony). Added bonus with that is that it is an awesome live performance as well! Some of their later stuff also shows more range, like Shot in the Dark and Faster.

[@alejandromoya7]

Sharon; The voice of an angel at the doors of the Paradise!!! Thanks Netherlands for the most beautiful voices at the metal; Sharon, Floor, Simone, Anneke, Charlotte, etc!!!

[@gedece]

And Ukraine for Tatiana.

[@10animallover10]

You're welcome! ;) I am very proud but mostly so very gratefull to have such talanted singers here in this tiny, flat and wet country! 17 million people total and these Godesses are within that small population!

[@Juniormizar]

Listen to “Our Solemn Hour” from Black Symphony concert.

[@andrewdash5487]

Better yet, the whole concert! 🙃

[@patverum9051]

Funny enough Sharon started a conservatory education, but didn't like it and switched to fashion design. So she has no formal singing training..but designs nice costumes.

[@vogel2280]

Very much autodidact and basically using her all natural ability to sing. Of course she too had to practice over and over and over. But indeed hardly any formal training.

[@michaeldougherty2807]

She was an angel of vengeance the whole time, and they were scouting their next target at the end. A couple more songs by them: Somewhere live from Black Symphony concert And we Run featuring Xzibit

[@andrewdash5487]

Sharon has so many charming qualities to her voice. You can tell she uses so much natural talent, and doesn’t have many years of professional training, especially when she sings live. For a couple of recommendations: I would say “Faster” shows some good range, and the cover of “Titanium” (David Guetta) is just a kick ass song. My personal fav would be “The Truth Beneath the Rose”. Enjoy discovering more of Within Temptation.

[@gerrygrouwe70]

She makes her own stage dresses 😃😃😃 Some where with anneke van giersbergen is also a beautyfull song

[@cecyliamaiden1973]

She’s got quite a range To hear her belting, I would suggest “just what I need tonight” from series liefde voor muziek. Their song “the promise” is great and can really showcase how her voice changed throughout the years. If you pick Black symphony version, you’ll her her high register. But if you pick one from 2019 (10 years later than Black Symphony) you’ll hear how her voice matured and how she’s actually using a lot of support and “operatic” vocals which sound healthy AF. She’s gained a lot of body to her voice with age which is great. Also, just for funsies, you should listen to “the other half (of me)” from the Black Symphony. It’s a beauty and the beast style. Their first album was heavily doom influenced and has some awesome pieces that, sadly, aren’t well known

[@Ozzy_2014]

Great band. Definitley in the same genre as Nightwish and there is a video Where Tarja Turenen guests in called Paradise. A great video to check out. The video itself and the performances by Tarja and of course Sharon den Adel lead singer of Within Temotation. Her parents are Dutch and American respectively. She speaks perectly fluent English and the accent vanishes when singing. She is a few years older then Tarja and is still an amazing singer. The video does look early 2000s. Since it was released in 2004, that makes sense still holds up today.

[@Ozzy_2014]

I know little enough but I have never heard her go low. Just high soprano. I can at least name a few songs I love of theirs, Mad World, And we Run with US Rapper X-ibit ( of MTV's pimp my ride fame), Faster, Shot in the dark and Supernova. Espiscally shot in the dark shows off the band really well. Singing in what looks like a stage in a wharehouse . clean sound and no didtractions other than it looks very cold. As in you can see their breath. Wether its real or added after I don't know. But as she's wearing a jacket...? 😎😅

[@juyifan7933]

I wouldnt say Within Temptation is the same genre as Nightwish at all. Within Temptation nowadays are more pop-techno-rock than metal. Within Temptation's first 2 or 3 albuns could be called Symphonic metal, but nowadays there is nothing symphonic about their sound, they are more likely to use techno sounds than an orchestral backdrop. There is also little to qualify then as metal, from the start they were barely metal, they were always on the lighter side and they only got lighter with the years. Nightwish itself is already on the lighter side of metal, but they are much heavier than within temptation. Nightwish has a typical metal tone to their bass/guitar, also Tuomas has a penchant for the occasional trash metal riff and most of their tracks are played with an orchestral backdrop. Within temptation has none of these elements.

[@cecyliamaiden1973]

@@juyifan7933 considering that both, NW and WT were one of the first in the genre and are considered precursors, you are very wrong. I also bet that you’ve never hear WT first album, Enter. Cute though.

[@juyifan7933]

@@cecyliamaiden1973 Nightwish may be considered one of the first symphonic metal bands. But WT definitely wasnt. A band like Therion is significantly more foundational to the Symphonic Metal genre than within temptation. I have in fact heard most WT albuns (except for the very first), I like the band, but it isnt metal nowadays, and definitely is not Symphonic Metal.

[@cecyliamaiden1973]

@@juyifan7933 haha, Nightwish and WT are both considered one of the first symphonic metal bands, they were created the same year and both shaped the genre and had major influence on newer bands. This just shows that you have absolutely no clue about the genre. Let me guess, you found NW on KZbin through reactions 😂 A band not being symphonic metal genre now doesn’t take away their legacy as one of the first bands in the genre. Genre change doesn’t erase their legacy. Also, not listening to their first album is travesty.

[@ianthompson5746]

Thanks Anastasia for delving into another great Europian band (with another great Dutchie female vocalist !), certainly a very gd song, but may I suggest their more upbeat performance of Faster Faster !! Cheers from Aust...

[@shrike6259]

Geez no not the pop genre. we have that on the radio / tv all the time

[@NeeceLoneWolf]

No sequel. People are saying Paradise yes BUT live version so you don't get copyrighted. Sharon uses her full vocal range on Faster. If you go to their KZbin channel, Sharon has been uploading concerts on their channel. Always find the live versions because copyright bots love Within Temptation.

[@wilsonjonah]

Sharon den Adel is a phenomenal singer, truly one of the greatest in the world of symphonic metal... Excellent song to pick for your first reaction to Within Temptation!! I highly recommend Somewhere that has a duet with Sharon and Anneke van Giersbergen... Such a beautiful song and one that'll make even the toughest person shed a few tears, in a good way of course!

[@mauijttewaal]

WT is awesome, Sharon magical and their video's great:-)

[@mauijttewaal]

Love your reaction!!!

[@mauijttewaal]

Their recent The Purge or more older The Promise are great next one's:-)

[@mauijttewaal]

Enter from 2002 is great and very different as well;)

[@blackmumba111]

In the video, the band members are “avenging angels,” and Sharon was bait for the serial killer. The angels used the guilt he felt and the spirits of his victims (which he led them to to bury her) to defeat him. The ending of the video, I believe, is the Angels taking pictures of their next serial killer/rapist/bad guy target not someone taking pictures of them. I could be wrong, though.

[@rddav1]

You are correct.

[@ginne7268]

Hi Anastasia you should also look at Delain with Masters of destiny it would knock your socks off.

[@mitchellhartman6205]

'bout time, LMAO!!! Sharon has a great vocal range, and can really rock, you need to listen, when you get time, to Sharon and Anneke duet "Somewhere". Sharon also designs her own outfits!

[@shrike6259]

Not really , Yes I like sharon but she has a limited range. NO lows, NO chest or belts.

[@mitchellhartman6205]

​@@shrike6259 I don't argue on social media, but maybe you need to listen to more Within Temptation.

[@wildylupous]

Try to catch with their Deceiver Of Fools.

[@wirewood88]

На мой взгляд, наиболее полно WT раскрывается в их эпическом концерте Black Symphony, можно взять почти любую песню оттуда, но наиболее масштабная, без сомнений, Our Solemn Hour :)

[@allenhuling598]

Enjoyed your video, thanks! Sharon is indeed beautiful, inside and out! Mother of 3, and fashion was her training, not so much in voice.....so lots of natural talent! Great band!

[@beldin2987]

One of my favorite bands since i discovered them around 2000. They also did some really great videos, watch for example "Frozen", also a dark story like this, or "And we run" ft. XZibit .. normally i don't like rap at all, but they did a fantastic job there, and the video is als so good.

[@shrike6259]

Then tried to export it to USA and get a rapper... UGH. yes bling bling video .

[@alejandromoya7]

Another great reaction Anastasia! In the future you will check the song of Within Temptation "Paradise" ft. Tarja Turunen; the live version is great too!

[@larryd4352]

Some have listed some of Within Temptation's songs. I love "Paradise (what about us) featuring Tarja" .... "And We Run" featuring rapper Xzibit ( this one great song with Xzibit showing off his genre of music in a Symphonic Metal song!) There is also "Supernova" .... "Entertain You" which is a bit darker...and the you have "The Purge".... it's more of a dark heavy metal song!

[@AveburyEddie]

Angels Vs Demons ! The photographer at the end is picking their next target ! Would love to see a TV series like this.... Angels Vs Demons :)

[@ANABELPEREADIAZ]

I also recommend you listen "in and out of love" by Armin van Buuren feat Sharon den Adel. It's another genre, but incredible too.

[@damienmaynard8892]

Sharon was mostly self-taught! Within Temptation always deliver live - have a look at Black Symphony, Silent Force and Hydra and Elements tours!!!!! I want to see the movie based on this music video!!!! You like Horror-movie music videos? - Ice Nine Kills "The Silver Scream" album - all songs in order!

[@fabiorobertonascimento8370]

nice react!!! I love it!!! I love sharon's voice and i suggest listening to the song faster, it's also really cool!!!

[@maxpower2542]

If it wasn't for Europe, I'd have very little GOOD rock/metal music to listen to. Within Temptation, Nightwish, Vanden Plas, and Circus Maximus are among my favorites.

[@renevw5812]

Please react to another fantastic Dutch metal group: Blackbrair -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX3CfZJjmrV8gcU

[@maggaw9869]

Angel by POETS OF THE FALL. Alexander Theatre Sessions live in Finland. I LOVE THIS SONG. My favorite singer.

[@giovannigio3764]

Sharon is just like Floor from the Netherlands. Some well know songs are "Stand my ground," "Memories," "Ice queen," "Supernova," "The promise," "What have you done" and "And we run."

[@hansevers8605]

Only one recommendation “Black Symphony concert”. Even nowadays this lady can sing even when the technology breaks down.

[@jasonmcclellan9183]

Just stumbled across your channel again, going down memory lane as I stopped listening to bands like Within Temptation and Epica a while back. Just fell off for some reason. However, one of MY favorites, whom I think is WAY underrated, is TRISTANIA! The female vocals of Vibeke Stene are equally beautiful IMO and I love their harsh and clean male vocals as well. Tristania isn't solely a female fronted band, in fact the male vocals kind of take the forefront but there is a beautiful mix of all 3 vocal types in most of their songs and equally balanced I'd say. Check out My Lost Lemore, ...Of Ruins And A Red Nightfall, Angina, Tender Trip On Earth, Lethean River, Aphelion or Beyond The veil. You won't be disappointed. I would recommend just listening to the songs and not any live performances as the sound quality is just gonna be way better. I honestly like Tristania better than Epica, and Within Temptation and make no mistake, they are all in my current playlist as well and equally amazing in their own ways! There's just something about Tristania that hits me differently. Widows Weeds, Beyond The Veil, and World of Glass are my favorite albums by Tristania, by far! Please check Tristania out if you haven't heard of them. Sorry for the long text, and I hope to see you react to them!!

[@hiawatha.g]

Thank you for featuring them. My first real love in the world of Symphonic metal. Without taking away from the work involved, Sharon is one of those who is naturally gifted with an angelic voice. Very little training. She is up in Kate Bush territory, but with a much more operatic sound. You must check out "Paradise", her collaboration with Tarja Turunen. Watch the MV first kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqqZfqOpebV-qtU, and then the live concert version.

[@krkatica]

Не понравился разбор, хоть в нём даже и хвалят мою любимую группу и вокалистку. Слишком назидательная подача у блогера.

[@MisterJ56]

Anastasia, please react to a great performance by the woman who's more or less responsible for Floor Jansen (and other Dutch vocalists) getting into "Metal", *ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN* with *_"Waking Hour"_* (live at Doornroosje (Nijmegen, the Netherlands) TG25): kzbin.info/www/bejne/poauc4lugsSLjqc

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Sharon sden Adel sang totally different songs in the Belgium show "Liefde Voor Muziek"witch is like "Beste Zangers"in the Netherlands. 😍😍😍

[@AntonioAccomazzo]

I share your considerations and appreciate your sympathy in commenting on them. I think that Sharon is truly unique in the sweetness of her singing and almost magical in involving you and making you emotional. Thanks for the comment

[@rvb2986]

So many good songs. Sharon is a goddess. I say listen to: 1. The promise - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaClY6trYplnkNE 2. Paradise (what about us?) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqqZfqOpebV-qtU 3. The truth beneath the rose - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX6zgoivqsdseNE 4. Dangerous - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3LMh2uIpdatg6c 5. The Purge - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6CleoShgZmlZtU

[@warfare73]

She and all band members are angels who punish bad people. and last scene was they are hunting a new victim...

[@duglop9635]

You should do MORE Within Temptation - you'll fall in love with Sharon & the guys!

[@James_Russell]

They are opening for Iron Maiden for most of the US Tour this upcoming fall. I will be in Columbus, Ohio in October for this concert! Very excited to see Maiden live and I look forward to digging deeper in to this band until then, as well. Thank you for this reaction!

[@10animallover10]

Within Tmptation was my very first encounter with Symphonic Metal music genre. And I am still forever gratefull to that high school friend back in the days to introduce me to this world

[@WonderfulWorldOfStuff]

Please please react to ‘Suite Clarity - Voices Unheard’ (New release)

[@greaper1976]

I would to see you react to Melissa Bonny's vocals. She is the singer of Ad Infinitum and The Dark Of The Moon (also ex-Rage of Light). And she will blow your mind.... The Dark Side Of The Moon - Jenny Of Old Stones Ad Infinitum - Marching on Versailles / Unstoppable.

[@donaldmulders9943]

Live they are realy good 🤘😇🤘🇳🇱 the song - our solemm hour is fantastic and the truth beneath the rose!! is my favourite song. but there are so much beautiful and realy good songs to Like😃👍

[@blackmumba111]

Sharon’s lower register is really showcased in songs that aren’t with Within Temptation. She has a cover of “Just What I Need” that she did for the show Liefde Voor Muziek that really showcases her belting power. Within Temptation’s early material (Their albums Enter up through The Heart of Everything) really kept Sharon in this higher register for the majority of the songs. Low note highlights from this era include: Dark Wings (she can’t do it live, though), some would argue for Caged, The Promise (has a HUGE range), Deceiver of Fools (though most of her low notes are in the backing vocals), Somewhere (she shows a huge range in this one, too, but I’d actually recommend the album version for that more than the live recording that’s more popular), The Howling, All I Need, and Frozen (the last two are ballads, and they are written lower than the usual high notes of their other work). Following The Heart of Everything, the band was more willing to utilize Sharon’s belting range more than keeping her in her head voice all the time. The Unforgiving has many songs that showcase Sharon’s belts like A Demon’s Fate (again, her ability to do it live is questionable), Iron, A Shot in the Dark, and some would argue Faster (I’m not a fan of the song, personally). It also has ballads that let her explore more of her lower range like Fire and Ice, Where is the Edge, Lost (probably my personal favorite of this group of ballads), and Stairway to the Skies. Hydra’s best song is Edge of the World (a ballad with both high and low elements), but many would argue that Paradise is the best (it includes Tarja, and I think that’s the main reason people like it…however, I prefer the live versions where Sharon sings the song solo), Dog Days is a fantastically composed low ballad with frightfully uncreative lyrics, and Silver Moonlight and Tell Me Why are the two rock heavy-hitters where she showcases her belt. Their most recent album, Resist, has a lot of electronic elements, and there is a noticeable electronic manipulation of Sharon’s voice that wasn’t present until the band started covering other artists (their covers of Somebody that I Used to Know, Summertime Sadness, and Paradise by Coldplay are amazing among others). In this album, she does exhibit some low and almost growling tones (for her), but then best song for low notes on the album is the Delta blues-inspired Firelight. Endless War, The Reckoning, and Raise Your Banner are all rock power songs where she does belt. Shew released a solo project with a different set of musicians called “My Indigo” that really explores her range and musical inspirations in more detail. It’s a. Wonderful showcase of her voice as an album. The Purge and Shed My Skin, their most recent singles, are both heavier and she exhibits low, breathy singing with even some growl at points. Entertain You, another recent single, sounds nothing like a Within Temptation song, but it is enjoyable. It isn’t particularly low or high. (Sorry I wrote a novel…favorite band and favorite singer)

[@henrivanwijk4156]

sharon is a self taught singer, she never had any vocal training. you should also listen to somewhere live with the symphonic orchestra and many, many, many other songs

[@ysinvangulik1004]

They had money for only one set of wings. btw Sharon makes the dresses herself btw2 Sharon is self taught.

[@dalehammers4425]

If you like a good dress and her voice having some deeper power to it, I suggest trying Stand My Ground, my personal favorite of theirs.

[@christobaliancantu7112]

She sings in a song for DJ Armin Van Burren-in and out of love. (Trance music)

[@invisiblechicken]

Personally, I always thought she had died and then became an angel of vengeance or whatever to take revenge on the man who killed her and so many others.

[@macokreeftmeijer5874]

More more clips pleace they comming from the netherland me to

[@henkoosterhof5947]

When they started they where called gothic.

[@duglop9635]

Sharon has a very raspy voice in her live shows!!!!

[@bryanjibodh8806]

Do a reaction on the song "Faster".

[@vggukys]

check it out Entertain by Within Temptation

[@paisa20]

Thanks

[@IgoZoom1]

Here are a few recommendations (in chronological order)- "Ice Queen" - Considered their breakthrough hit back in 2000, the Black Symphony live version is even better than the original. I love Metal Hammer magazine's comment- "Metal rarely gets more ludicrous - or brilliant - than this." "The Howling" (2007) "Faster" (2011) "Paradise (What About Us)" feat. Tarja (formerly of Nightwish) (2013) "The Purge"- 2020 (shows a lot more of Sharon's vocal range) Enjoy and thanks for the great reactions!

[@mrshade810]

"Iron" is a great song if you want to hear her belting. "Empty eyes"/"Frozen" for lower register. "The promise" for high powerful register (live from black symphony concert).

[@zenszufi]

Again, it was a great reaction to a great song, thanks for that! If you have the opportunity, check out these as well: -Dangerous (ft Howard Jones) video clip - Paradise (What About Us?) (Ft Tarja Turunen!)video clip -Iron:kzbin.info/www/bejne/lV6yXmCtZ61gmKc -Faster(official music video) Thanks again.

[@Mythricia1988]

another WT song that highlights Sharon's great voice is Faster. She shows a lot more power in her voice in that one, Angels is very lofty and bright (and beautiful!)

[@tiffanydraper2844]

Glad you found Within Temptation and Sharon! Definitely listen to And We Run by WT and to hear Sharon do some great belting and lower range Just What I Need Tonight. That one floored me when I first heard it! I’m not a huge fan of WT live but they do put on an amazing show.

[@MrWo-qj2yh]

one of the founders together with nightwish of symphonic metal later one they did more prog metal

[@deeteenw]

I think in the end she gets to play bait for the next serial killer. Looks like they do this all the time.

[@Meine.Postma]

Time for Nightwish again?
