This is funny! The third message in a row that is somehow related to Ellen ten Damme :).
It was for my first time at Paradiso and I have to admit that Paradiso is an awesome place for concerts like this. It reminds me at places as the old Metropool in Hengelo. Although I realize that Paradiso has a much more richer history as Metropool. And that in more then in one way.
Ellen ten Damme gave yesterday a performance in her clubtour “Durf jij” (which is Dutch for “Do you dare?” and what is the title of her latest CD).
Apart from the fact that Ellen is a very attractive woman, she is also a very talented artist with a great voice and who knows her way around with instruments as the violin, piano and the guitar.
The performance of Ellen was great…. alive, kicking and surprising. And let no one ever say that music in the Dutch language is boring. It is certainly not. I already knew that and yesterday it was shown again.
I always to take pictures at concerts, but sadly very often it is not allowed to take good photo-equipment as SLR-camera’s to such concerts. My small compact camera is just too weak to take good pictures is such bad light circumstances. Specially at this concert I would have loved to have my SLR camera with me. But nevertheless, I have some pictures to keep the memories of this awesome concert high.
And of course, as so often at concerts I have been, I bought a t-shirt. And no Marion, this shirt is not meant as nighty on your journeys (you still have my Google-shirt!).
And…
of course…
as could be expected…
another signed CD!!!! I think that because this whole “Signed CD thingy” started with another concert of Ellen ten Damme, her signed CD’s count double! So Marion…????? 😛
All with all, I had a great evening and I enjoyed myself very much. Paradiso will be a place I would love to go more often. And Ellen ten Damme? Always good 🙂
Sounds as you had a wonderful evening.
And oh, I won’t say “Poor Marion” this time :P.
Pfffttt. If you ever cared about me using your t-shirts during the night. I even think you like the idea 🙂
Signed CD again? Oh dear… what a girlfriend all has to suffer (j/k… and you know it, Rob :))
Anyway, I am happy you enjoyed the concert. And yes, Paradiso is great. Add Ellen ten Damme to it and you have something awesome 🙂
BTW interesting style of clothing Ellen used during her performance.
Hmmm… you said that you would drop by these weekend before you leave for the US again? Then we can “discus” the matter of that signed CD more closely :P.
And I hate to admit, but you are right concerning my t-shirts….
Inspired by the way Ellen was dressed up on the stage? Well, I wouldn’t mind…. 🙂
Wow Rob. Super that you Enjoyed yourselve so much.
I have to admid.I did not like the show. I loved The Impossible Girl tour. But this is not my kind of thing. (i dont like her singing Dutch)
At Metropool, i watched 4 songs and that was enough for me to deside to leave. (offcourse the new metropool really sucks. So this could be of influence as wel)
Well Patrick, as said, I really did enjoyed it.
For me the language an artist uses is not important, although I like it when I can understand the lyrics (and for that matter, which language can I understand better as Dutch?).
I have heard her singing in German, that was also okay for me.
I disagree with people who think Dutch is suitable to sing in, no matter what style of music.
For me it is the complete picture that makes a concert good… the music, the performance, the style, the atmosphere. And all that was last Friday just perfect.
And yes, Paradiso is awesome. It reminds of the old Metropool a lot. As you I don’t like the new Metropool that much. So yes, that could really be of influence.
Ever been to Paradiso? If not I will take you there as soon there is something there we both like.
Hey Rob,
Nothing bad about Dutch language in Songs. I just did not like this combination with Ellen ten Damme. But that is my taste. And fortunately, taste differs for everyone.
And yes. i will surely visit paradiso with you in the futere.
There you are right, Patrick. It is good that taste differs… makes life a lot more interesting.
I think you will like Paradiso 🙂
Differences make life interesting!
And Rob, I hope that I made up with my visit today concerning the signed CD…. 🙂
Eerrr….. I am not complaining. Not at all!!!!
LOL Sounds as Robbie was very lucky LOL
Read my mail, Sanne 😛
Now I have to blush…. %)
You two discus really everything, don’t you?
Of course we do 🙂
