Willemijn Verkaik performing 'LET IT GO' on Dutch Liberation Day

LIVE at the Amstel in Amsterdam, 5 May 2018

[@pip1278]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate her face at the first "the cold never bothered me anyway" !? AMAZING !😍

[@Poseidonblue123]

Yaaaaass❤️❤️❤️

[@jodavitow]

Her tone is so consistent all through her whole range. Both in timbre and resonance. This is one way to know she understands and does breath support correctly.

[@nassimk27]

The dutch and german voice from let it go. Amazing

[@raz.]

I just realised she sang "I am the queen" in front of the queen LOL

[@cc_b6770]

But she really is a queen😍😍

[@Caroux84]

She’s not lying... Lol

[@dewdropexe7397]

it's TRUE

[@fabialorent876]

Ha ha yes

[@roisinnigcrainn7722]

I mean - how the actual _heck...?_ I can only dream of being this good someday. The way she was able to hold those extremely high notes (especially the last one) and go straight back to lower range - I just - I CAN'T RN

[@ClipsByLaura]

Absolutely LOVE the new orchestra arrangements! Make this song sound so joyful!

The voice control on this lady is off the scale. It's not real. But it IS!

[@mirabelle3124]

Willemijn ist so eine unglaublich tolle Sängerin, und sie ist die perfekte Elsa 😍 Ihre Stimme, die Mimik und Ausstrahlung, sie verkörpert einfach diese Rolle. Ich habe zu meinem 32 Geburtstag die Musical Karten von meiner Mama geschenkt bekommen, und bin unglaublich dankbar gemeinsam mit ihr diesen Magischen Abend verbracht zu haben. Willemijn alias Elsa ist das absolute Highlight dieser Show 💙

[@tobealostwanderer]

How she carried that last "Let the storm rage on" holy damn she is amazing

[@thefreshmaker001]

The setup is breathtaking

[@marionwernicke9114]

Ich bin Deutsche verstehe die Sprachenicht aber ich kenne das Lied in und auswendig ich liebe das Lied und Willemijn hat so eine kräftige stimme einfach nur super

[@Milan94HD]

Did anyone else notice Willemijn sings Elsa but looks way more like Anna?

[@isururanawaka5839]

Very dramatic than the movie version. LIke a musical. Great.

[@rumpelstilzchen8256]

🎉😘😍😍😅😄 super wunderbar.eine fantastisch Stimme.

[@marieklenke2916]

She is so beautiful

[@PhilosopherThom]

I forget how beautiful the city I live in can be. I heard this performance when I opened my windows. She should just have done the US version.

[@joanbenson4381]

WOW >

[@jodavitow]

Let's just say there are no comparisons to be made. It would need to be at the same level to begin with to do any comparison here.

[@AndreaVernucci]

And then Oz turned into an Emerald frozen land. 📖

[@justaguy1768]

But like, why didn't she sing in Dutch?

[@pip1278]

Maybe because english is easier for people from other countries to understand ? I don't know :/

[@Ikwileennieuwenaam_]

Waarom moeten hun dat begrijpen? Het is Bevrijdingsdag in Nederland???

[@orchishmamukherjee5250]

Even in the Netherlands, the English version is more popular than the Dutch one

[@mylife1221]

@@orchishmamukherjee5250 the dutch version is like 50,000x better to be honest

[@orchishmamukherjee5250]

@@mylife1221 yeah it is! I agree!

[@Caroux84]

Imagine having to follow that... no thank you.

[@ForschLeoDeRay_Genshin]

lol the cold never bothered my anyway xD

das ist sehr schön

[@yukikessho1072]

I LOVE HER QWQ

[@Ckryttie]

BRUTALITIC!

[@justinbradshaw5098]

Waroom zingt ze dit niet in Nederlands?

[@jackkelly6310]

Please tell me this happens in 2018 😭

[@Ddeniii]

Yes it happend in 2018

[@beenadal4302]

I hope to see you play Elsa in Broadway next time! And let's be honest Idina can't sing this song live.

[@lorigriggs9256]

I am mad

[@hannahbaker7754]

Idina already did it and she was greaat

[@freyag7644]

😍😍😍😍

[@jaclpz]

Are they on a bridge? Why is this not in the arena or something? Edit: not that I’m complaining it’s beautiful, just curious if there’s a significant reason.

[@SharonMB88]

It's kinda tradition here on the 5th of may, the king and queen are also present at this event

[@MissVis]

This is the concert on the river Amstel in Amsterdam. A festive conclusion of Liberation Day (May 5th) This concert is traditionally attended by the royal family and is free for everyone.

[@Supergirl-nd5uu]

Jackie L it's probably because it's like for everyone to hear or something because freedom is for everyone 🤷‍♀️

[@mmmmm-ip9uv]

Elsa yeee

[@angeloftheshadows1344]

she kinda sounds out of breath in the beginning

[@theboyjames3065]

It’s breathy on purpose to add dynamics and to build up a crescendo.

[@skrymir1]

ganz schönes Gerät

[@botigamer9011]

She looks like Gina Linetti

[@jtplayzxd6981]

I did not she knew English

[@susannichols5403]

Willemijn's English is pretty much perfect almost without accent! She has played Elphaba in Wicked in London and on Broadway. She is just amazing and currently starring in Bat Out Of Hell Das Musical in Oberhausen singing in both German and English. She is also appearing at Cadogan Hall in London at the beginning of December.

[@Supergirl-nd5uu]

Most Dutch people can speak great English

[@AnsonGrant]

she also knows a bit of german and performs frozen in german as well

[@hathawyn]

W. Andrew Pearce not "a bit" of German, she's fully fluent in German as well!

[@moow950]

@@AnsonGrant She speaks German fluently

[@thatrandomgirl4574]

Maxima: exuze me 😂

[@nowekant93]

Why did she sing it in English? XD

[@Owen_plays_music1049]

Yeah what a shame

[@christophmuller1202]

The Voice is not Synchronously with her mouth.

[@Owen_plays_music1049]

Yeah, i think shit happends with the upload...

[@cymen1]

You can clearly hear her breathing?

[@equinae6048]

In de film is het veel beter, hier zingt ze niet eens zuiver soms en de hoge noten haalt ze niet goed. Soms is het echt vals zoals op 2:19 en vanaf 13:14 het is wel al heel knap dat ze zo’n vermogen heeft.

[@merdwx11]

lmao allebei deze momenten zijn zuiver hbj

[@scaramouchethe6thfatuiharb987]

Dat was gewoon zuiver... 0.0

[@equinae6048]

mer dwx ja sorry ik heb een te scherp gehoor 😅😅😅😂😂😂❤️

[@leedscab123]

Heard Willemijn perform this in Dutch, English and German and in all 3 she is just sensational.

[@waterfall6601]

I think her voice is much better than Idina Menzel's voice

[@ishieg151]

couldn't agree more

[@mna4754]

Noo

[@Matteo-wv1ti]

I wouldnt exactly use the word "better" but this woman sings the hardest parts effortlessly!! Its amazing...

[@ive3737]

Yeah, I never liked Idina's voice honestly.

[@DeBlauweOlifant]

i prefer idina, willemijn sings too breathy for my taste

[@evilrslade]

That a human can do this... I mean honestly. This is phenomenal.

[@melissaramirez-mendoza4872]

I cannot describe how much I love this🥲She hits those notes so effortlessly, and overall she just sounds great.

[@poweredbydion8180]

Willemijn is about to end Idina’s career

[@tobealostwanderer]

In my books she already did loll

[@MrSailmakers]

Nou laten we vooral niet overdrijven

[@Nobody-zw4qd]

As much as i love willemijn's voice than Idina's...but idina is untouchable. Willemijn will always live under Idina's shadow...singing and performing a verion of Idina's songs.

[@poweredbydion8180]

Nobody oh piss off

[@Nobody-zw4qd]

But its the truth tho. Willemijn will always be a "version" of idina.. Like wicked and frozen.

[@asdsforlife9319]

I Think she could sing this Song in English, German and Dutch it's sounds great

[@Jukka70]

she has done it in German and Dutch. The woman is incredible

[@alexisericson241]

She's dome it in all three, and evem switched between them on the fly. She's incredible

[@GalaxyRoyal]

She’s the official Dutch voice of Elsa in all movies and did the singing part in German but I wished that she voiced Elsa in the English dub.

[@simplystreeptacular]

If she doesn't play Elsa onstage - Broadway, West End, who cares - there is no justice in this world.

[@raz.]

Hamburg!! I hope she is going to play in Hamburg! I will go to Hamburg for her if she plays Elsa there! Even if she sings in German and I don't know German at all, I don't care!!!!

[@GalaxyRoyal]

I hope that someday Willemijn will have a chance to reprise her role as Elsa if the Broadway musical is adapted in Holland just like she did in all animated 3D movies. Germany would work too despite that she only did the singing part.

[@ysli9372]

Come back today after knowing she’s going to Hamburg this autumn, so happy!

[@lucibrowncurl]

@@raz. she actually will be! ,-)

[@liambasye8958]

This versie is fantastisch

[@alexisericson241]

The orchestra! This beautiful a voice deserves nothing less! One question- is she singing this live? Her lips really don't match up with the audio, but that could be because it tales time for the sound to be transferred from the microphone to the speakers

[@joaomaiconkunrath1838]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, ich bin dein Fan, ich liebe deine Stimme, die du hast

[@jakealcomendas9937]

She's starting resonating in the last verse 💕

[@canipleasegetsubswithnov-up1th]

Oh my god °•° how? She is so powerful?? Way better than idina :) there's a lot of things that I don't like about idina 1) her voice is nasally 2) she is always screaming instead of singing in the last high note especially 3) in the last high note she says “l£t tHe St0rM rAnGe *AaAAAAaaaAaaAaAaAaAaAannn!!* instead of on

[@Marcus-uz1hf]

Eine Stimme wie eine Göttin

[@elisabethnerolk2283]

willemijn zal waarschijnlijk elsa wel spelen als frozen naar nederland komt! ALS het naar Nederland komt!

[@michitolle2723]

Its so Wonderfull and beautiful.

[@LyricalXilence]

She does vocal acrobatics well. But I prefer Idina's tone. This woman sounds like more of a high alto.

[@lmbergamini]

Why English?

[@rachelaharonov9855]

What did she say in the beginning? Can someone translate for non-Dutchies? ;)

[@JackAceNL]

To live in freedom, here, with eachother. To be yourself without fear. Thats what the next song is all about and it's my pleasure to sing it for you.

[@rachelaharonov9855]

Thank you! :)

[@sjorsvdwaals2546]

JackAceNL ja ik ben niet zo engelsgenie

[@gwenvanbijnen]

A lot of people already translated it but she sang it on the date that the netherlands were a free land again, after the 2nd world war. Not very good in explaining in english but i hope you understand😅 also i know im very late haha

[@TsarHare]

liefde. no ear ring studs. safe ears . liefde
