I'd like to add that Simone announced very recently on her twitter page that she suffers from "reflux" which causes inflammation of the larynx. Simone is what causes me to love this band so much. I mean the guys are great but I wouldn't identify with the band like I do without Simone and her lovely voice!
People! Think a little bit. I am soprano / mezzosoprano and I can go up to C6, I grew covering Epica's songs, and let's face it - I sing a couple of years and still can manage that warmed up and in still position. She headbangs, dances, interacts with her fans, is ill, and sings like that at the same time! Don't be so hard on her.
simone has canceled shows in the past, or had another singer cover for her. But its perfectly understandable if you ask me. its not the genre where if you 're sick you can go on and perform. if you do that, it 'll either be a poor performance or you ll damage your chords even more, taking more time to recover, which will be even worse for the band as a whole to an utter extend. she's a professional, the best metal vocalist ever, and she's such an angel to see.
@steliospitsillides She canceled south America one time and the other she stayed without performing. But it was due to appendicitis and the other due to MRSA.
I actually feel that Epica and handbang does not fit. I think they should get rid of their pop-ish images and sing feeling every word of their song. :)
I don't understand what everyone is complaining about .... I'm a singer ... and let me tell you .... singing while your sick is one of the most difficult things!! you are already miserable and can barely breath and you need to sustain high notes and vibrato over and over. It makes you light headed and nauseous .... be thankful she sucked it up and got her ass out there for the fans, instead of canceling!! next time your sick try singing!! See if you can match what she does while she's sick!!
@Trueghostgirl ela pode estar doente, mas essa não é a primeira vez que ela canta desafinado ou mal ao vivo . muitas cantoras tem de fazer shows doentes ou com indisposisao , mas isso nao é desculpa para fazer um show meia boca como foi este . Beleza nao é tudo .
@garotyner ... I'm sorry, unfortunately I don't speak your language (I'm not being rude at all) If you can translate-it into english I would love to hear your reply. I did see at the end you said Beauty isn't everything .... but I didn't say anything about beauty or her looks in my post (although I do think Simmone is gorgeous!!) Maybe you misunderstood my post? All I said is she was sick and for being sick she did great :) ... I know how horrible it is trying to sing when your ill
"She may be sick, but this is not the first time she sings out of tune or ill live. Many singers have to do shows with sick or unwell, but this is not an excuse to show half mouth as this. "
Well, I love Epica, but also know that Simone is not the greatest singer in the world and hate it when compared with Tarja or who say that only the beauty of it simply, she is amazing with its beauty, but still has a long way be a great singer ... (continue)
I need this in HD!

She was sick yes, her voice was maybe not in "shape". But do you knew that most singers who are sick on tour cancel shows?
She didn't and she's putting lots of effort to sing the best she can.

@Trueghostgirl (continue)> be a great singer (I think she is a soprano, is not it?).
I'm Brazilian and we love Brazil's epic, I want to make that clear and it was not an insult to her or to any fan.
good that you have read the comment and became interested in him, most people are said and done.
