I had the top marks in French in high school!  ;)  ..but I  
never quite mastered conversational french.

I DL'd the files and watched them later on my TV.  The DL'd  
version does not have those subtitles.

 WvV> I think it's about a woman who is love sick.

Noted.


 AA>> I did not care too much for Anneke van Giersbergen - Jest Oldu

Sure!  You know what to do.   ;)

 WvV> She was the inspiration for Floor Jansen to go in the same musical

Ah.. interesting.


 WvV> Check out this one from the 25 anniversary concert with her original

OK..  a lil'bit better.  But the music was a more significant  
element. She spent a lot of time just seemingly brooding over  
the music as the musicians were playing.

 WvV> Or this duet:

 WvV> And tell me you still don't like her singing? ;-)

Ah.. definately a song about 2 love-sick or love-smitten  
females?

I'm still not quite convinced that she is a great singer. She  
definitely has talent and conviction, but.. something is still  
missing.

One Canadian rock/pop singer that made a fairly big splash  
during the last 80's is Luba.  The voice is baritone, but  
powerful.

Check out this live performance of one her hits:

I'll have to did up some other fine female singers that you may  
not have heard but might enjoy.
