VUUR - My Champion - Berlin (official video) 

When Anneke smile, the World smile with her!

I've been listening to this woman sing for nearly two decades. Her voice still gives me chills every time.

Single-handedly, Anneke created a new genre: smile metal!

she's the only woman who can smile while playing utmost bad ass metal.props to the whole band,this sounds fresh and majestic,10/10

Anneke has all the merits to be called The Lady of Modern Metal. What a voice!

Criminally underrated band.. and Anneke💓

i ve been listening to this fairy singer for almost 3 décades . her voice Still gives me chills every time and sometime i cry because my mind cannot understand that so much perfection exists

She is JOY personified, just looking at her puts a smile on my face! :)

such an underrated album....so many great songs...you don't have to be a prog-fan or an anneke-fan either...but she is great, and the music is, too....

Anneke for president!

Ah Anneke. After all these years your voice still brings tears to my eyes.

😍😍😍😍😍 I loved Anneke great work. Your guitar is perfect and perfect harmony of the band.

Rock meets metal meets prog meets Anneke, and the rest is, as they say, history. And what a wonderful lady she is!

Anneke puts the beyoncés and shakiras of this world in the pocket. Amazing voice, amazing attitude and amazing figure!

Her voice is timeless, and i just love this sound.

Where in the FUCK have I been in my life that I haven't heard this until now!?

As a fan of Anneke since her first days with The Gathering i still love her voice. And i'm glad she's back with her own band, besides her singing with Devin Towsend. :-)

Love seeing Anneke fronting a metal band again. It's where she belongs and awesome song too.

ANNEKE IS A METAL / ROCK GODESS !!!! SHE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART AND MIND !!!!

This is just what I feel in this moment; harmony, melody and melancholy of the song... Incredible! I love this band!

Wow Vuurers sounds Great !!! Anneke stills topping with your voice and music !!! And Sounds Powerful !!! Cheers and Life On !!!

I can't wait to see her with Amorphis in October. She's my favourite singer in the world, since I discovered The Gathering in the 90s. I must meet her (and be an emotional, blubbering fangirl) before I die.

The influence of so many years working with Devin Townsend is notorious here and I'm glad it is. Such a great song

The voice of an angel

Great stuff! Welcome back to the metalside anneke :)

Oh my, I have a new girl crush. She's a goddess! And she's in her 40s. Yes!!!

One of the greatest songs I’ve heard in a looong time. Beautiful.

Is 5 years a good time for album two? LOVED this record.

Finally back to her roots..

Oh My God !!! This Is Amazing and incredible!!! I love VUUR and I love Anneke!!! Please return in Italy!

There's only one Anneke, everything you do is excellent. I will always love you!

Amazing! An absolutely contagious, heavy work that puts Anneke on another level! It will be extremely interesting to see Anneke now surrounded by prog metal bands, delivering yet another intriguing facet of her huge mishmash basket of surprises.

Anneke always gave us the best of her voice since Gathering exists 🤘🏻✨

Anneeeekkkkeeee,and everything sounds powerful.

I saw you at Brutal Assault this year... whole crowd just couldn't stop smiling, you are a true miracle Anneke

Los vi en vivo en Santiago el domingo 19 de mayo, espectacular, inolvidable presentación, ojalá vuelvan a Chile 🇨🇱 pronto! Saludos desde Viña del Mar.

Maravillosa Anneke, genial banda VUUR....ojalá y sacaran nuevos temas...son cool!!!

Again - one of the finest Rock-Metal singers in the world of her generation- but an absolutely diabolical song - she needs QUALITY material.

One of the best smiles in human history, she always rockin a fantastic smile when she performs it’s great.

Please return to this proyect, VUUR is gorgeous! I love Anneke voice!

A. D. I. C. C. I. O. N. ! ! !

Please Vuur, release something new. You're amazing guys ❤

the best thing about this song , is that i didn't like it at all at first , and it started to grow in me gradually . forever love Aneeke .

Los acabo de ver en el Circo Volador - CDMX (2018). Toda la banda tiene una vibra increíble y Anneke es la mejor!

I had never heard of VUUR.. but one week ago i saw them live with EPICA. Still remember this song My first concert and the best night of my life

My Champion - Berlin my hands are tied my voice is still my body wants to move my eyes see beauty I cannot reach it paradise lies here here in this aging heart of mine I hunger to be seen I’m right here my champion enlightened soul unchain the burden of all that I’ve become my hero I have lost so much my angel call my name fighting demons torn between my love for darkness and the light I seem to see the beauty oh guide me lead me shine for me I hunger to be seen I’m right here my champion enlightened soul unchain the burden of all that I’ve become my hero I have lost so much my angel call my name right here I’m safe in my mind I am free right here I’m safe in this moment I am free I’ll conquer this fear I’ll rise my champion enlightened soul unchain the burden of all that I’ve become my hero I have lost so much my angel hear me darkness wears a white dress and wings of glass

She stills amazing and beautiful and with a great voice

Please come to Chile!!! We love you!!!!

You were some of pioneer female metal vocals with perfect voices... well, metal welcomes you again with open arms dear Anneke... \m/

My favorite singer! Love you Anneke

The VUUR Digipack CD "In this moment we are free - Cities" signed by Anneke van Giersbergen arrived today. THANK YOU!!! OH I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!

Hell is going one day without listening to this band

Where is the feeling of the old days?!

OMG! Im standing up and clapping like a seal! Anneke you nailed it! I wasnt expecting less of VUUR. Definitely one of my top bands from now on. It is true, DT influence is notorious and Im glad it is this way, cause you and DT are the best metal artists in this freaking world. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!! Congratulations my dear!

Anneke está cada día más hermosa...

Damn, this sounds perfect, just as I have expected it!

She has been one of my favorie singers ever since I heard The Gathering.

I'll never get tired of listening to this song.

Her dutch accent is so hipnótic...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇱🇺

Please let this band last longer than for only one album. I generally enjoy almost anything, where Anneke is involved, but her work with Devin Townsend, early The Gathering and Vuur i enjoy the most. I listen to this record almost every day for weeks now and still totally fallen in love!

It's really kinda surprising after all this time to hear Anneke sing in a real metal band again... Has she not stated one time in an interview that she would probably never sing in a Metal band ever again? ;) Anyway, I cannot but dig just simply everything this woman does - probably there will never ever be another singer which I am this much in love and just totally addicted - guess there is not ONE single song of Anneke which I don't just love completely :) ❤️❤️❤️

Anneke Van Giersbergen never seizes to amaze! Great new band, beautiful heavy song with excellent production and Anneke in top form as always! What is so great about Anneke other than her smile, is her vocal melodies. They have never been "cheap eurovision like" melodies... You gotta love Anneke! Can someone please bring VUUR to Greece for a show?!

I will repeat what someone else said somewhere.. How can she be so kick ass and yet so freaking adorable?

Never heard of VUUR before, and I am SPELLBOUND. Whoever says this is boring/unoriginal is flat out wrong. It's a classic. I'm gonna devour the rest of your music.

if this didn't gave you goosebumps, then you must be already dead, the VUUR is burning on this fullmoon eve

Angel's voice 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

If I were to tell what I love more about Anneke, her voice or her smile while singing, I wouldn't know wht to say...

Please come back!!!

This SONG is ambivalence in musical form... It gives hope and takes it away in a single breath... AMAZING!

I really hope there will be a new Vuur album as Cities is simply sublime.

Fantastic! Love, love, love it!

Awesome. Anneke the most beautiful voice I've ever heard

aaaaaaaaaaah, Anneke is te gek in elke band!

I thought tarja was back. What a surprise ! Tears in the eyes to find a group as good! You are sublime!

The best song in this album!

Discovered these guys because I saw them boarding my flight to Paris today. Caught the name off their merch and now here I am :)

Wasn't too excited when the generic riff started but then it just kept getting better and better. Brilliant.

My hands are tied my voice is still My body wants to move My eyes see beauty I cannot reach it Paradise lies here Here in this aging heart of mine I hunger to be seen I'm right here My champion enlightened soul Unchain the burden of all that I've become My hero I have lost so much My angel call my name Fighting demons Torn between my love for darkness and the light I seem to see the beauty Oh guide me lead me shine for me I hunger to be seen I'm right here My champion enlightened soul Unchain the burden of all that I've become My hero I have lost so much My angel call my name Right here I'm safe in my mind I am free Right here I'm safe in this moment I am free I'll conquer this fear I'll rise My champion enlightened soul Unchain the burden of all that I've become My hero I have lost so much My angel hear me Darkness wears a white dress And wings of glass

I absolutely love it.

The great Anneke, the great Ed Warby on drums… Some of my two favorite bands from the 90s (The Gathering and Gorefest). Sounds very good.

One frkkin masterpiece of a song

Ed Warby really nails the drum parts! Great stuff.

WOW this is really incredible. So many textures. Brilliantly done.

Damn that smile..im in love

Anneke is great, as always♥️ The headbanging looks a bit silly, but I'm probably too old for that 😉

Wow that rythm in the intro for that one riff is so trippy. I'm glad I found Anneke's other bands after I liked listening to her stuff with Devin Townsend. Dang, sick band I just found.

Another great finding in youtube :) ... I needed more music from Anneke and this, as the rest of her music, is great!

Anneke you are the best, every song of yours is beautiful. I admire you deeply.

Me encanta su sonrisa de Anneke, tienes una hermosa voz...

So so good.

por que no te conocí, en su momento??? Suena increíblemente bien¡¡¡

Awesome Music .....Love Vuur...my band!

This is amazing. I´m in tears.

Damn those guitar riffs just chugging along, sick song!

Good video

Excellent! Fresh Rocking Tune, and her voice gets better and Better!!

Glad to hear your beautiful voice again, dear Anneke 😘

Finally, something smiling in a heavy metal song...

Anneke Te Amo Mi Amor my Dutch Queen 🇳🇱

I've been listening to this song non stop since I firstly listened to it. The chorus harmony is unbelievably catchy and beautiful.
