   I had the top marks in French in high school!  ;)  ..but I     
   never quite mastered conversational french.   
      
      
    WvV> https://www.google.com/search?q=je+suis+malade+lyrics   
    WvV> And click on "Translate to English".   
      
   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   
    AA>> too much. That voice was a bit too screetchy for me.   
      
    WvV> It was better with the original video from the show where you could see   
    WvV> the emotions of the people but that unfortunatly got blocked, because of   
    WvV> a copyright claim by the original composer... I saved it so, if you...   
    WvV> ;)   
      
   Sure!  You know what to do.   ;)   
      
      
    WvV> Anneke is our grand lady of Rock, although she would probably be   
    WvV> offended by that title. ;-)   
      
    WvV> She was the inspiration for Floor Jansen to go in the same musical   
    WvV> direction.   
      
   Ah.. interesting.   
      
      
    WvV> Check out this one from the 25 anniversary concert with her original   
    WvV> band:   
      
    WvV> https://youtu.be/Y46Lft_BZxo   
      
   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> https://youtu.be/ScjEJRIZGvg   
      
    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:   
      
   https://youtu.be/zKr5-LWTU4o   
      
   I'll have to did up some other fine female singers that you may     
   not have heard but might enjoy.
