OK so first things first, @symphonic-power-metal-bracket just in case you missed this 😅.
Secondly some trivia nobody asked for but I am not normal about certain people so yeah, might as well say it 😅.
Full disclosure I am responsible for submitting all three songs from Liefde voor Muziek that are now in this tournament.
And now the trivia part just in case you're new to this 😅. Liefde voor Muziek is a TV show in Belgium where essentially they invite singers and each of them covers songs from the others. And in 2018 they invited Sharon den Adel who is the lead singer of metal band Within Temptation. And then they published everything on Spotify so this allowed me to submit it here 😈.
The fun thing is that none of these covers are metal per se - probably because the originals aren't metal either. And at least Sharon kept in line with the originals (unlike some of the other guests from the TV-show which turned songs from Within Temptation in non metal songs).
But this only goes to show that Sharon has a great voice and she could technically sing any genre it's just that the metal community got lucky 😁.
So yeah, if you find yourself listening to these and thinking 'huh this gal has a great voice too bad she mostly sings metal and I am not into that'... Send me a message and we'll see what we can do about that 😜. And by this I mean I am 100% willing to recommend some songs she sings which are more palatable for non metal fans.
