oh my god she was actually improving and sounding way better! but she sounded awful in mexico this year and did playback for the last 4 songs, everyone was so sad about it, anyone who noticed anyway, but it was hard not to :(

Whoever said Simone has more talent than Floor DOES NOT know vocal skills at all, how dare you compare Floor to Simone geeze of course Floor is a better singer, Simone is just about the looks not actual talent.
that is not treu it is the one you more prefer simone is if I am not mistaken not tottaly an sorpraan and floor definitly is. I love both but both are great for me simone sounds more natural but floor her voice has much more power I love both I can not choose .
Yeah Simone is not better than Floor maybe because Floor have had more training and experience than Simone...But Simone gots potencial and She acktually a good singer and I think she can become better
Floor is a better singer only in that she has more cold skill, and a more powerful voice. Simone is, however, also a good singer and is about more than just the looks.
Yes I've heard it live but my point is her voice has limits...and that this performace is good for a singer who has been attacked by a parasit which is not a nice thing...
And you say this is a bad performance ..if you dident know Simone was in a very bad condition when she did this show so I give her 10/10 for acktually haveing the gots and to sing this song when most of the other girls in this bouisness would have cancelled it...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Simone got more talants than both of you and Floor it is quite obvious..Even Floors boyfriend thinks so why would he else be the growler for Simone and not his girlfriend?? Simone takes her time and delivers the song with emotions Floor has a tends of speeding her way through the song like she just wants it to be over and she try to sing TO HIGH notes that she sometimes choke her slef which is something Simone does not
i never researched it because, honestly, i don't really care about relations in bands. i just assumed they were related because of their last name + the Reuver connection.
and too bad i'm not a dude. so F for your research as well ;)
U know, I agree with you, even though I really love her she doesn't really hava a good performance in this one. But still she is really talented, so I don't think she is just a "Barbie Girl".
I think it's really interesting that at the beginning of a song Simone sings really out of tune (she corrects them quickly) But, by the end you don't hear the bad notes anymore.
damn it stop critizizing and comparing Floor Jansen, Simone Simmons and Vibeke Stene are not the same, never will, and three of em are great theyr way...i don´t get why its so funny to compare great singers...it´s never gonna be the same, and for tastes, there are many colors...
Just like all the "Tarja is better than Anette / Anette is better than Tarja" crap that was flying after DPP was released last year. Get over it....no one is going to make everyone happy so be glad with what you have.
I don't know if anyone else agrees but I think live she adds a quality that she doesn't have in studio. Although she doesn't hit every note (which really shouldn't be expected) her voice has an amazingly strong wail to it that is just so beautiful and thick and real and doesn't come through as much on the CDs. Simone is a music goddess on stage and in studio! Epica is my favorite!!
@Elishire I love the hypocrisy and double standards from Epica fans. When another female singer misses notes, you bash them. But since it is Simone, it is as you put it "to be expected". lmao
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Vibeke stene is the ex-singer of tristania you should hear beyond the veil and widows weeds then you will see and no Simone is an ok singer but Floor is a godess
I will not argue with you, cuz I haven't seen those other two (and I don't know at all who Vibeke is) but Simone is a godess when it comes to singing, and appearance! Floor is okay singer. Not a big fan of After Forever though. But I'm learning their music more for each listen. But Epica is still the best Symphonic band out there, and Simone the best and the most beautiful singer.
In my opinion, Simone & Floor are the best female metalists when it comes to live performances. Their songs are the most difficult to sing (big changes in octaves & keys, & having to hold the longest high notes), & they're pretty much the only ones that sound the closest, if not the same, than they sound on recordings.
Estuvimos alli! Que gran festival el Metal Female Voices Fest V. Casi todos los grupos tenian muchisimo nivel. Me quedo con estos 4: Leaves'Eyes fue magico, Epica espectacular, Sirenia brutal y Delain increible. Lastima que la cantante de Autumn estuviera enferma. Really, we came with the northern winds!
I think she's been having microphone problems the entire song, if you notice she keeps playing with the mic controller strapped to her waist... Either that or her pants were uncomfortable :P
That thing is not for the mic, but for the in-ear monitor system. Which is even worse if it doesn't work properly, because you won't hear what you're singing. :D
Oh my God, it's soooooo dramatic (L). Thanks for the video, this is my favourite from them. :D Love the fireworks. I hope they'll play it in Hungary as well. :)
