Vocal Coach reacts to Within Temptation - Somewhere (Sharon den Adel & Anneke Van Giersbergen Live)

[@sethbaruti4367]

The original Within Temptation song is stunning, but this duet, backed by the orchestra, takes it to a new level. It's truly the best duet ever. Sharon has one of the most beautiful, ethereal voices I've ever heard. Anneke compliments her with absolute perfection taking the heavier, "alto" line. Anneke also exudes charisma effortlessly.

[@Alilolilou]

Anneke is a ray of sunshine ❤️

[@mauijttewaal]

Look at when she was 16, so cute!!!

[@StonerDjek]

Love her smiles.

[@Antheras]

Sharon is amazing, the entire Black Symphony Live show is great, easily in my top 5 best live performances. Would recommend anyone to watch it if you can get a hold of it these days.

[@AP-cv7jz]

totally agree

[@DonHoshi]

There´s a reason most of us say this is the most beautiful duet ever... because it is hauntingly beautiful =)

[@Dimi26G]

Sharon den Adel has an angelic voice. By far my favorite female singer.

[@crhu319]

The only singer I can compare to Sharon is Chiara Tricarico.

[@TristanandIsolt]

@@crhu319 I'll check her out.

[@andyr8577]

I’ve watched so many reactions to this song and Sharon’s note at 5:10 always gets the same reactions. Pure love.

[@falseflaag]

My fav moment of the song too.

[@Doppeldropper]

..."Angels", "Frozen", "Stand my ground", "Forgiven", etc. 🤗

[@mizantrofikk]

we want a reaction video; "CEM ADRIAN - SUMMERTIME LIVE 2018" will blow your mind :))

[@AB-80X]

Anything from Mother Earth and The Silent Force is Sharon at her best.

Faster, Shot in the dark, tell me why, memories, mother earth, the purge, paradise (what about us?), Omg this band is great 🔥🔥🔥

[@legendlore9241]

I LOOOOOVE Within Temptation and Sharon den Adel.

[@wtglb]

LOVE Anneke van Geirsbergen!!! Take a look at her and Devin Townsend doing "Awake" live from his "By a Thread" series, excellent!

[@johnhudson8950]

This concert is absolutely fantastic. Watch it when you have time. You won't regret it.

[@digitalsoldier-1742]

Sharon coming in 'over the top' still send chills...and tears.

[@oxigenarian9763]

Beth - thank you for doing this. Your channel is easily one of the very best reaction sources anywhere. I really appreciate your scholarly explanations of various topics. We just don't see enough reactions to the ever-evolving Within Temptation band. Nightwish is more popular but Robert Westerholt and Sharon den Adel are, arguably, the King and Queen of symphonic metal. You are also the first credible reviewer that did not criticize Sharon's use of her 'breathy' head voice, something she uses to make that lightness you spoke of. Feel free to do more WT... :)

[@thana7179]

I am so glad you came to Within Temptation and i loved your reaction. The whole concert is worth a reaction, especially when you consider, that Sharon was ill and they thought of cancelling the show, but she somehow managed to pull this off. Being around for over 20 years, Within Temptation has a wide catalogue of songs worth a reaction. To name a few: Mother Earth The Promise The Heart of everything Angels Memories Faster Stairway to the Skies Paradise (feat. Tarja) And we run (feat. Xzibit; Metal + Rap cool combo) Raise your Banner (feat. Anders Frieden) Endless War The Purge I think that were to much songs but hey, one may dream :D Anyway keep up your work i really enjoy your reactions.

I cried from that you confirmed something I was feeling as soon as I heard it that many years ago. Thank you!

[@j_muller]

Together with Ih Ah, Valley of the Queens you have now given some of my fav. reactions. Enthusiasm and expertise. Adorable.

[@macyinthemist]

OOOOOH YES! Please, in the future react to anything from Black Symphony, it's one of the best concerts ever and Within Temptation really shine!

[@marlonlx]

Sharon has also sung with Tarja, although I find that the live performances of their song have all been a little shaky. And if you liked this, you'd probably enjoy Halestorm feat. Amy Lee from Evanescence. A lovely piano ballad with two amazing vocal performances.

[@HistoryNerd808]

One of the songs that best shows the beauty of symphonic metal. There's something in the water in the Netherlands.

[@erwinamesz7642]

Yes, we have some extra heavy metals in the water, hence my BMI......

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

[@peterdoe2617]

Or in the air. You can sometimes actually smell it ;-)

[@cvb6089]

🤔 Heavy metal?

[@johnterry1852]

This is one of my favorite duets. Another one to check out is Floor Jansen and Simone Simmons doing Sabot Mater Dolorosa.

[@AntonioAccomazzo]

I love nature in all its nuances and I love the song of the nightingale and Sharon is the nightingale. Two fantastic voices that complement and integrate perfectly, this interpretation is a true masterpiece. Thanks for making me cry

[@yippeethreeeight]

Anneke always looks like she's best friends with everybody she sings with. I think she actually is. Even when she sings by herself, she looks like there is nowhere else in the world she would rather be. You saw the way she interacted with Devy on "Ih-Ah" and said very similar things. Another great song that she collaborated on is Ayreon's "Comatose" with Jonas Renkse from Katatonia ("Old Heart Falls" is a great song to react to from them). Or, you could check out one of her solo songs which are more pop-style music. I'd recommend "Saturnine" from The Isolation Sessions.

[@sarake-xx]

She seems such a generous singer. I only met her briefly once, but I’d bet a generous person as well.

[@revylokesh1783]

Please react to Anneke with her old band "The Gathering". Preferably the song "Travel" live at Doornroosje. Or the song "Amity"

[@mauijttewaal]

You have no idea how much I love your reaction, you're really enjoying this beautiful song, point out things that other coaches have missed ánd you're the first one that can really appreciate Sharon's qualities, thanks! PS their new The purge is really worth checking out too!!!

[@bewareofsnow]

Lovely reaction, appreciated the insight. Thanks! Definitely recommend you check out Anneke with her old band The Gathering - particularly the performance of the song Travel at the TG25 concert at Doornroosje. (The video on KZbin is marked "unofficial video" but it's top quality. I think they took the official audio recording of the event and set it to several different videos taken by the crowd, to provide multiple camera angles.)

[@TristanandIsolt]

Great comment about Celtic sound. Symphonic Metal is Celtic rocked out.

[@therussianprincess7036]

That entire concert was hands down the best thing I’ve seen on a dvd

[@therussianprincess7036]

Fun fact, Within Temptation was my gateway into symphonic metal! I have ran straight in and haven’t looked back since.

[@jonhorrocks]

Anneke has done a lot of duets and acoustic work with Daniel Cavanagh of Anathema. Hauntingly beautiful and well worth your time :)

[@lazyshoggy]

Hell yeah ! I saw them in a little cave somewhere in Paris, around 2008, it was so great ! I didn't know her at that time and quite regretted it after.

[@StonerDjek]

Moar Anneke (from The Gathering period), pls! Or listen session with Danny Cavanagh from Anathema: "Anneke Van Giersbergen & Danny Cavanagh - Leaves (Off The Record)" on YT.

[@Rowskii]

I suggest checking out Anneke Van Giersbergen with her original band. The Gathering - On Most Surfaces Live at Doornroosje

[@marcovtjev]

Or better, Travel. (Also TG25 Doornroosje version)

[@kitwayne4891]

If you're reviewing Within Temptation, I highly reccomend their song Our Solemn Hour.

[@mauijttewaal]

Deceiver of fools or Enter are also interesting;-)

[@therussianprincess7036]

That one’s my favorite from the Black Symphony show! Although it’s really hard to play favorites when every song is so good...

[@jasondaniels640]

This.

[@danielpaquet3963]

it isthe best duet gives me goosebumps every time i hear it

[@ElcomeSoft]

One of the best duets

[@douglascampbell9809]

Everything from The Black Symphony show is great. Then you get to see the band and the symphony play more aggressive tunes.

[@jennyl.8184]

YES, please do more! 🔥🤘For something heavier my recommendations would be these. Added a few options cause I couldn't help myself 😆 ✨THE PROMISE - Both beautiful and heavy, a real symphonic masterpiece! - Live at Black Symphony (2008) - Live at Elements (2012) - Live at Pukkelpop (2002). Yes, low res video unfortunately but young Sharon is magnificent. 🏚THE HOWLING - Live at Black Symphony (2008) ❄️ICE QUEEN - Live at Black Symphony (2008) - Live at Elements (2012) 🔥DECIEVER OF FOOLS - Live at Pukkelpop (2002) - Live at Provinssirock (2006) 🌍MOTHER EARTH - Live at Black Symphony (2008) ⏳OUR SOLEMN HOUR - Live at Black Symphony (2008) ⚔️HAND OF SORROW - Live at Black Symphony (2008) The further back you go, the heavier their music gets. In the 90's when they started it was really heavy with lots of gothic doom influences (and growling, yes), then it turned symphonic metal and nowadays it's more like symphonic rock - with lots of random influences. ➡️BONUS: Sharon recorded a song with Floor when she was in After Forever, check out Beyond me.

[@yousurf374]

fun fact.... SHARON had lost her voice for about 3 days prior to this massive one-off show... She got it back the morning of the show.... no rehearsal time left !!!! And it was not perfectly normal when it returned... said it had a CHORUS quality or something like that.

Ahh its been about a year since I last broke my heart to this .. so why not with my favourite red-head singer? This beautiful piece of music ties in to when I lost my wife to cancer and that grief-stricken longing to somehow, somewhen, find her again - eight years now and I still hope one day she'll walk in the door.

There aren't many (if any) Within Temptation songs I don't like! Suggestions would be their entire catalog! One of the more interesting that I didn't think would work but really, really does is "And We Run" (Featuring Xzibit). Symphonic metal meets Rap!

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Wow never knew you didn't do this one yet. Anneke van Giersbergen, Godmother of Dutch Metal. 👍 By the way Within Temptation alsoo did a colab with the American rapper Xzibit 🎶👍

yeah and it was a crap

[@serguei666]

Both Monstruos Voices!!! Graciñas e saúdos🤘☠️

"And We Run" which is Xzibit with WT, is a really great track. A stunning beauty and the beast with great power in both and a lovely extreme contrast.

[@nameravaladao6252]

Oh my God! Awesome!

[@sam.ramphall]

there's an acoustic version of The Cross that is just magic. I could never find a live video from it but it's just my favourite song ever from WT. How I would like to find such a live video for you to check out

This is right there with the Epica duet with Simone Simons and Floor Jansen ... and btw: what is it with these Dutch ladies?! Amazing!!!

[@killkult]

i usualy dont listen to the intro"s but her roar just kills me everytime

[@ossenaar]

Hi Beth, great reaction from you to this beautiful duet. I want to tell you that Anneke van Giersbergen will be part of "Beste Zangers 2021" that starts on Thursday, September 2nd. You know this is the show in which Floor Jansen and Henk Poort sang the Phantom Of The Opera duet. Just a heads up for you and fans. I hope you will react to a few songs from this show later in the year. 😘

[@patricschoenaker]

Anneke is the reason Floor is doing what she's doing. She's the one that paved the way for almost all current female fronted metal. I might suggest some more amazebals? On Most Surfaces with The Gathering (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYmcn3uPn55ondk), her early beginning with The Gathering: Strange Machines (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3m4fqqfo7tld7M), her small intimate performance of The Blower's Daughter (kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6rRmmZogduKo5Y), and one of my fav's: Grace with Devin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2KqqKebpZeijtk

Melhor dueto

[@albroiser]

Just let Anneke shine!

[@crhu319]

Sharon den Adel puts lovely lilts in her high notes similar to the very best country singers. Shania Twain and Melissa Etheridge and KD Lang and Patsy Cline have a similar sincere quality. Floor Jansen in acoustic How's the Heart can carry off even more difficult trills with more power, but it seems technical more than heartfelt. Another singer with this in the symphonic genre is Chiara Tricarico. Especially in Rabbit in the Moon she carries off a few of these...and the song is about a deeply spiritual story.

[@SuperThaidave]

that was fantastic!

[@palantir135]

Anneke van Giersbergen was front woman of the band The Gathering which is one of my favorite bands. Check out the song Travel, studio version; a song about Mozart. The live version looses lots of the subtle things. Both singers worked with Ayreon.

[@falseflaag]

Sharon's angelic voice is unrepeatable. And a ... 5:11

[@colebraddock1809]

I love this duet, too, beautiful. Just FYI, I do believe the correct pronunciation of Anneke's name is Ah-NEK-ah. It's the pronunciation I seem to hear the most in other reaction videos, and I've heard it used before, I think it's the Scandinavian equivalent of Anita.
