Beautifully done. Your tone is absolutely wonderful. Dutch isn't the easiest language to pronounce if one isn't used to some sounds, but very beautiful nevertheless. :) I certainly wish the Dutch language were more popular in America, then perhaps I could improve my pronunciation :P I'm one of probably at most 3 people in my state who speak Dutch. ;)
To refer to Flemish as a language rather than a dialict would be the same as calling American English the American language. If you don't believe me, look for the first Flemish-English dictionary. You won't find it. Take a look at the available languanges in MS Word. Even Friesian, a language spoken by about half a million people, is in the list but not Flemish. Flemish is Belgian Dutch. Hence the reference Dutch (Belgium) in MS Word. As for the song, you have a nice voice.
Thank you for the clarification. I can't remember where I found the info that it is an "official language" of Belgium, but I see that you are from the Netherlands. Cool. Your English is great. I wish I had the opportunity to learn Dutch for real but it is simply not offered here. The person who coached me is probably the only person who speaks it in the entire state.
It's actually Flemish, but I just read this: One of two official languages of Belgium; closely related to Dutch - so Dutch is very close.
I had a vocal coach for it years ago. My version is not much like the original, but I plan do redo it when my uncle is here with his guitar next week. :) I'm sure he can handle it.
Thanks again, everyone, for the wonderful responses. I'm not sure what is up with my camera. The videos load just fine on MySpace. ?
Well, Flemish ofcourse is more or less the same as Dutch. I can now because I live about 10 kilometer from the Belgian/Dutch border, in Holland. I am Dutch. :)

My favorite Jacques Brel song ... and, regardless of the sound problem, fibster 102 does a marvelous job. What pure, lovely notes!
