I've been listening to their songs for a year now. For me she is an angel with her courage, her strength and her heart when she sings. God bless you Emma🙏
Thank you for a thoughful and pleasing reaction to Emma, there's several more songs from May that are relevant, and there is an increasing number of songs appearing on RUclips that give so much more details about Emma and her life. There's one song you need to be aware of, it's Emma's signature song, Voila, a Barbara Pravi cover from the 2021 Eurovision song competition, it came second, and the version that went Viral for Emma, it's about to break 60 Million views on RUclips alone, it's a different version to the one that Emma first learnt, Andre RIeu changed it when it was decided to let Emma sing in his Maastricht Summer concerts series in 2023, they slowed it down, and made a number of other changes, which allowed Emma to have the time and space to truly LIVE the song on Andre's stage. The version that has Andre's important introduction of Emma can be found at ruclips.net/video/KdIhq1tb8Co/видео.html It's in French, Emma learnt it phonetically, she doesn't speak French, and there's a good version once you've heard Andre's introduction that is the song only, with English subtitles, ruclips.net/video/telyzClalVs/видео.html which are a help to understanding the song, Emma learnt it because in so many ways, it's a relevant commentary on her life experience This song was one of several that Emma sang during the annual commemoration concerts in the Netherlands, where the many lives lost in liberating the country from German occupation in WWII are remembered and celebrated each year, There are four, this was one, the most powerful one for me is the cover she did of a Demi Levato cover, 'Father', she sang this in September at a similar event, but this version is different to that first performance, she changed it in several places, and goes for a glorious high note, I've not heard her go so high before, she absolutely nailed it, a wonderful performance of a difficut song. ruclips.net/video/zXWBj7-edWU/видео.html The most significant concert was in Amsterdam, where she sang a poweful duet wiith April Darby, in the presence of the Dutch Royal family, and a number of high ranking politicians the song she sang was 'When you believe', and it can be found at ruclips.net/video/YG8WV1GFt_c/видео.html Another song from the same concert at the Hague was a performance of 'Hero, ruclips.net/video/rohP0V3ECRY/видео.html I will close with my normal appeal to everyone reading or listening to this channel. Emma's situation hasn't changed since that first appearance with Andre last July, she is still tied to her two external feeding pumps for 22 hours a day, and I know from recent social media posts, she finds that hard to cope with at times, despite that she's loving the singing with Andre. I make no apologies for adding this, Emma deserves all the support she can be given, as her foundation works to help find better treatments, or even possibly a cure for this awful disease. Emma's foundation is almost unique in terms of the work they are doing, there's been very little research into a devastating illness, the effects on the sufferers are huge. Emma's foundation can be found at gastrostars.nl Please, if at all possible, join me in making a (regular) contribution to her foundation, to enable them to help patients like Emma, and research this awful disease that has affected her from birth, and requires her to be tied to the pumps and feeding tubes since she was 9 MONTHS old, for 22 hours a day, hopefully, the work of her foundation will find a cure. One of their main people is a surgeon who has a lot of experience in dealing with gastroparesis, and she is not only a surgeon, but also suffers from the same disease herself, to the extent that as a result of her condition worsening, she's had to leave her role in the hospital, and she is now dedicated to the foundation, and working to help find possible new treatments, or even better the cure that will free people like Emma to live a more normal life, rather than be tied to the feeding pumps for so many hours every day. It will be so good if the work of Emma's foundation can lead to a better treatment, or even a cure, which will free her to do more singing, and it may be people here who make that possible.
