Thanks a lot Steve for this registration. As always Emma was amazingly on pitch and clear. Lucky you to be there and enjoy the concert together with Roger. 👌👌👌
I was just happy to be there, very different to what we expected, and what stood out for me was how much slower she sang Voila, so much slower than I've heard her sing it before, you could feel the emotion in it, sublime.
Nice one Steve 👍. Watch the reaction of Roger Diederen (paying the Flugelhorn to Emma's right in this video) as Emma finishes 'Dancing On The Stars' at 8:13. Consider this is a man, an elite musician, who has played in Andre Rieu's orchestra for many many years and who has heard Emma sing Voila more than 100 times and heard her sing 'Dancing On The Stars' in the summer Vrijthof concerts with all the rehearsals to get there. His reaction as he rolls his head back and smiles, to me looks like pure joy. Its also an indication of the high regard in which Emma is held by Andre's orchestra members.
Some of that delight was possibly a much slower tempo, I've never heard her put three very distinct notes into the start of the key change in voila before, the emotion in the performance was so powerful, and dancing was also powerful.
Small event - friendly - relaxed - beautiful girl, now 16 1/2. Amazing singing - 4 numbers, huge!!! So comfortably professional and happy. 'Profi' as the 'fantastic' man called her.
Emma was amazing, just as she always is. Would have been a nice touch if the organizers had put some type of decorative cover over the front of the stage. It's looking a little rough.
Wasn't actually paying much attention to that side of it, I was just so happy we'd got the seats we had, pure luck of the draw, the tickets were free seating, they were not reserved, so we took them, a chance not to be missed, it won't happen very often, but it was so worth missing a nights sleep for, we left home at 02:25 to get to the airport for the flight, and for an event that was so good, I'd do it again in a heartbeat, Emma was the icing on the cake, the rest of the event was top class as well, we left just before midnight very happy, just so good from everybody involved.
@@RogerC-2024 I've started with the album deep purple live in Tokyo and the early performances live of Iron Maiden in front of a few thousand people and pink floyd etc. Trance music such as Armin van Buuren or Tiesto are also part of my music choices. But this Angel is something special in the music world.
