Somewhere ( feat Anneke)

I think Annekes voice is a little overpowering at Ahoy. I dunno maybe I just want to hear Sharon a lot more on a song that means so much to me.

It's growing on me though the Anneke duet. I just wish there was a little less of her singing in it.

*hides*

Because of that duet- Anneke is now my favorite singer.
They sound amazing together, that song is just perfect, I can really relate to it, and when I heard them I cried- no joke, I get all emotional over songs.

But Anneke and Sharon are meant to sing together! I hope they do more in the future~

I was just thinking that, actually. Anneke seems to be singing too loud. Yes, it's her, because Somewhere is a slow song that is supposed to be sung quietly.

I don't like her...she ruined the BS version of this sopng for me.

I like the duet but I don't...

Not that I don't like the her voice but.. this song is very special to me and I prefer at the beginning with just Sharon. They sound nice together but Anneke sings too high in the chorus.
Another thing... one of my favorite parts in Somewhere on the CD is the outro, and this performance doesn't capture that atmosphere.
Sorry to be negative.

I dunno about it. It's just a song that means so much to me. It's my brothers song so I suppose I will only ever think Sharon singing it on her own is the best version. I think Anneke maybe takes away from it's emotion a bit by overpowering the song. I know she has a powerful voice but I think it's just a little much for Somewhere.

It's still growing on me, I dont dislike it but I dont love it as much as with just Sharon. I think I probably had too much expectation on the song though. As it just means too much to me.

Really?
I think the power and the deepness of her voice really add to the song. Like Sharon and her styles contrast some much, but it really adds somethign special to the song. I think its best when they sing it together.

I do love Annekes voice. I just think Somewhere means way too much for me. I'd have prefered it just Sharon but I do like it with Anneke. I just wish there was more Sharon.

I'd love to hear Sharon and Anneke singing Our Farewell.

As long as Anneke didn't overpower Sharon, yeah. I would too

Anything would be better than that travesty on the ME DVD

Yeah that would be brilliant!

Haha I know. Gea Gijsbertsen really did ruin it Sharon sang it beautifully still though

*shudders* Makes me sad that that's like, the only professional recording we get of Our Farewell live and it's got Gea in it. I mean, Gea does have a great voice....for opera. It just didn't work with Our Farewell.

And that's what I'm saying about Anneke as well: she has an amazing voice...but she overpowers Sharon, and kinda stole Her spotlight for some people. I'm sure she didn't mean to, but it kinda happened.

I comletely agree Andy. Gea really did over power Sharon and so did Anneke. I just dont think there voices suited Our Farewell or Somewhere.

I found Gea really outpowered Sharon but I love how she and Anneke sound together.

YAY!!!!! *exalts you*

I was just listening to this and it made me cry. Well not full on cry but there were a few tears Probably because it means a lot and I find it very emotional. It's still growing on me with Anneke.

Tell me about it, last night I was crying. It doesn't help when you have a friend that fits with this song perfectly.

It is a really emotional song.

It's my brothers song Always brings tears to my eyes.

That could just be a case of "z0mg Anneke at a WT concert *fangirl squeal*"

^Thanks for that. I knew the one with Gea wasn't the only one we got. Which is why I said "like" the only pro recording.

Our Farewell Thanks

I thought the "like" was emphasising the "only". My bad. Crosseed linguistic wires
Oh well, at least we got to see that lovely version of Our Farewell. It's super emotional.
