Hallo allemaal, ik ben Christian Gilissen, de pianist en begeleider van Emma. Ik ben pas 13 jaar geworden, en speel vooral klassieke muziek. Ik heb gehoord dat er sommigen mijn spel niet zo mooi vonden, maar het was mijn eerste keer om dit te spelen, en wij hadden helaas hiervoor ook niet geoefend, alleen één keer. Toen zij zij dat ik langzamer moest spelen. Voor mij was het belangrijk wat de zangeres wilt. Als u het leuk vindt, kunt u mij opzoeken en dat gaat vooral over klassieke muziek. Ik ben ook heel trots om dit met Emma te hebben gedaan. Zij heeft een hele mooie stem, en dat zij in een heel korte tijd beroemd is geworden met André Rieu. Nog veel succes voor Emma! 😃

IMAGINE BRAVO EMMA It's so beautiful

Emma de beste en mooiste zangeres van de wereld , zingt weer geweldig. Ik hoop dat ze ook een keer , Let it Be, zingt.

"IMAGINE" WOW Simply Fantastic💓💥👋🙏🌍

Het tempo is even wennen. Maar na de derde keer luisteren ben ik alleen maar nog enthousiaster! Juist als Emma ingetochten zingt, is haar stem op z'n mooist. Geweldig. En ook blij dat het Rieu tour verhaal nieuwe uitgaves niet belemmerd!

Exquisite. A plea for a kinder world. For me, slowing down the tempo, emphasizing words like 'people,' 'one,' and 'dreamer' added to the imagery. Don't change a thing.

Except the organist! Does he only have one finger? And where did they get the microphone from? Toys r us? She is my favourite singer and deserves more than this.

Deseo que Emma sea sanada,tiene tanta fuerza que pareciera que no padece de nada malo. ❤

EMMA, this is a fantastic performance in your own way ❤👋🙏

Beautiful beautiful Emma magnific ❤❤❤

Emma es un Angel en la tierra❤🇦🇷

WOOW Simply Awesome ❤🎉🎤👋

Eine wunderbare und wunderschöne Stimme. Eine hübsche junge Frau. Schön, dass es dich gibt und alles Gute. Danke!

As always, a beautiful performance by Emma❤. However, it was too slow in this setting.. Maybe this version will also be sang with the Andre Rieu orchestra, then it makes sense.

Soo beautiful 😍😍👏👏👏👏👏🌷

Amazing young lady very talented 👏 ❤😂🎉

I am " The Dreamer " too ... Emma You Are The Winner !!! " The Winner Takes It All ( ABBA ) " - try this song ( Melody ) 😉 ...

She is like a Angel

Linda canta muito bem maravilhosa ❤

❤❤❤

Bravo!!!!

Toujours une grande émotion quand j’entends Emma chanter. Elle est sublime avec cette voix magnifique❤

MAI piace tantissimo Emma kok. ❤❤❤.

We have no way to know if Emma chose this song, or if she was asked to sing it, and given the long history of conflicts over centuries that can be directly attributed to religion, I'm not about to wonder about Emma's beliefs, or how she feels about the validity of a God, or even the God, depending on your view, and her own life experience will have influenced those feelings, very deeply, given the trials she has endured since birth. I have the utmost respect for her determination to make a mark on the world, and she most definitely is achieving that, and I wouldn't want to say if that's despite or because of a personal religious belief. Whichever it is, it won't change the huge respect I have for what she is doing, and my hope that she will continue to soar to new heights as the sublime and amazing performer she has become. That's happened in part as a direct result of a massive commitment to achieving the best she is capable of, and her personal religious views won't change how I view one of the best young performers I have heard in a very long time. As to her being an angel walking among us, or having a god given talent, that may be true, or it may just be a combination of her DNA and a lot of dedication to achieving her goal, I don't know which is the case, all I know is that her ability is rare, and puts her at a high point in a very small group of people who very much stand out from the crowd. If her life experience means she has a problem with a belief in any god, I dont have a problem with that, at 16 her views can change, and her experience is her experience, I haven't had to live her life, and in truth, I'm not sure if I could have coped with what we already know of her life, so I am not going to decide on the validity of whatever faith she may or may not have. I just hope that she continues to sing as wide a range of songs and genres as is possible, and if that means secular as well as religious, I'd like to hope that her doing so will only enhance her visibility and acceptance across all creeds, communities and countries.

@RogerClutton

@@jerrysmith1564 She would sing 3 then because she will definitely sing Voila. Typically in tour Emma has just sung 2 songs. Voila and another. The second song was Ein Bisschen Frieden in the Netherlands , Belgium and Germany. Heal The World since then. It will be interesting to find out next week. It would be great if it was 3 but there is a lot to fit in Andre Rieu’s concerts. ❤

First off viola is my favorite song. As a christian I don't like this song. I can't imagine why anyone would not want to go to Heaven. Heaven is where God dwells and eternal seperation from God is Hell. Johny Cash with all of his fame said, " the loneliest place for a man on Earth is a man separated from God." Everyone has a God shaped whole in their heart and if they fill it with God they will find piece. I think that the love of God would truly bring peace to Emmas soul. And I pray that she will receive Christ into her heart and ask Christ if she could join the choirs in Heaven and worship Christ for eternity. I admonish her to listen to "I can only imagine" by Mercy Me. It's a Christian. Praise song. There is a lot of good contemperay Christian music. One last thing I hope that she doesn't compromise her morals and values.

Excellent performance; however, this audience is too young to understand the importance of the lyrics. It was not until I was an adult that I understood it myself

@Cristiangilissen Christian, Ik geloof niet dat je jezelf iets hoeft te verwijten. Dacht je vooraf ook "Ik mag"? Dat is wat ik Emma hoor zeggen. Ja, publiekelijk optreden is een dingetje. Maar dat doe je even. Chapeau. Ik zou het in mijn broek doen van de spanning. Het is ook nog een optreden naast onze nationale diva. Emma is iemand die de doorsnee mensheid ver is ontstegen. Diva's hebben zo hun eisen. Die hebben kritiek. Die eisen stelt Emma natuurlijk ook. Dan zegt ze gebiedend tegen je "Ecoutez moi!" Dat is zo opwindend maar het moet ongetwijfeld ook veel stress bij je veroorzaken. Mogelijk is iedereen jaloers op jou, want je bent tijdens het optreden wel vlakbij die boeiende Emma. Dat lijkt mij mateloos gezellig.

@Steinstra-vj7wl Emma kan bij mij niet meer stuk. Dat is als een paal! Ben nooit zo bezig geweest met lyrics. De melody vind ik mooi. Die zit weleens uren in mijn hoofd. Heb ook wel altijd het nieuws gezien. Ook in de tijd van de zwart wit beeldbuis. Dagelijks was, sterker is, er oorlog in de bulletins. Als er dan een peace guru opstaat geeft het te denken. Ik ben het met de roep om vrede eens. En ja, er is iets te veel kapitalisme, denk ik. Imagine is m.i. niet het anthem voor WEF. Ben een Heijplater van 1958 en ben tegenwoordig iets meer met de text in liedjes bezig. Ik ben juist ook tegen grenzen. Hup, staat er weer een slagboompje. Hoe kun je als je op de wereld geboren wordt ook maar ergens illegaal zijn? Ben blij met 120 km per uur langs Hazeldonk te kunnen scheuren zo mijn geliefde Vlaanderen in. Ik vind dat we de oubollige grenzen moeten bestrijden en niet de mensen aan de andere kant van de grens. Mijn naam is Fred! En laten we Emma laten zingen. Luister vooral naar haar stem en haar melody. Emma is grenzeloos puik!

I am very surprised and dissapointed by the choice of this song in the poor conditions. With an amateur pianist who has no level to accompanny EMMA. It's true that she has to experiment, but not with just anyone! I think it's a shame for EMMA.

Totally agree. I used to sing the clubs around Manchester and had different backing and sound in each one. I used to make a note of what sort of backing they had and mark them points out of 1 to 10 for future references so I would know what to expect. I hated singing in clubs with bad backing but loved singing to good backing. I think if you asked Emma what she thought of this backing and was honest,she would definitely not have enjoyed performing at this venue.Nobody can hear or judge your real talent if you have bad backing. And just one more thing , I don't think she sang this song deliberately slow, I think it was the organist didn't have much experience, therefore Emma had to sing at the organist pace and not her own.

Absolutely stellar performance . The world became a sadder and worse place the day John Lennon was taken. What a wonderful tribute to him. Religion is nothing but a crutch people turn to as an excuse to have something to hide behind instead of facing the real world and this song is a true testament to that fact.

Horrible soundtrack, she should not sing in these amator condition.

Nee ze schreeuwt

Where did they get the piano man he plays nonsense he is ruining this beautiful voice. Song is good with a guitar or a piano man who can play

I am heartbroken and terribly disappointed that Emma would sing a song like this. I can only hope that this is a case of youthful indiscretion, and that with maturity and wisdom she will someday have a change of heart.

@@Herka5420 The song is an ode to atheism and communism, both of which were embodied in and advocated for by the composer, an odious and deplorable man who spent his life in the pursuit of hedonism and vice. The fact that it was performed at a children's memorial event is inappropriate to say the very least.

I expect the song was selected by the organisers of this large event, not by Emma herself. Moreover, whilst I am aware of the controversy surrounding this song in the 1960s, in truth it’s neither political nor anti religion. This song today is seen purely as being about unity and peace. Not such a bad thing. ❤

@@RogerClutton The song is from 1971 and I remember it well. At 15 I was enthralled with the lyrics. It was from John Lennon, a Beatle, and like all of my friends, I loved it. It was a song of the times, which were intensely political. As for religion, the opening verse is quite explicit. Those were the days of my youthful indiscretions; my ignorance and immaturity. I have grown wiser over the years. With respect to Emma, you may be right. Perhaps it was not her choice to perform that song, and even if she did, I would not judge her at age 16. She has been through a lot, and I know that she has pondered serious questions about life far in advance of her age peers. Whether or not she is an atheist, I do not know. What I do know is that she has questioned the wisdom and the goodness of God. She posted some time ago a photograph of someone, perhaps herself (it was hard to tell), lying in a hospital bed with audio of a woman speaking about her disappointment with God, and going on to say that even if God himself explained to her the reason for her suffering, she would not accept it. Emma definitely harbors some bitterness, and I understand that....perfectly. I just hope that given time and the fuller understanding of life that comes with maturity, she is able to overcome that bitterness, and appreciate fully that even if God has hobbled her, he has also blessed her with incredible talent and ability, and guided her on a path to tremendous success and acclaim. He has given her the ability to reach the entirety of humanity and do great good in this world.

@@exeter1588 I hypothesised in a separate comment whether she may sing this on the next leg of the JSO tour in the UK which kicks off in ‘Liverpool’ next week. I have been trying to lip read Pierre Rieu’s Instagram post that shows Emma, André, and Frank Steijns rehearsing something. It’s conceivable she will given that the extra songs that Emma has sung on tour so far have had a theme of world peace, with ‘Ein Bisschen Frieden’ and ‘Heal The World’. Let’s see. If so it kind of kills my other theory that she may have been handed this song for the event in NL. Either way, please don’t feel down about the song choice. The overriding message is one of peace which is a laudable one in today’s world. The other aspects of it will be lost on most; including, I suspect, the orchestrators, performers, and the vast majority of audiences. ❤ 👍

John Lennon's Imagine is a sneaky evil song, and I was hoping Emma (or her Parents) would read the lyrics first and then refuse it. The text is terrible and offers no hope for mankind, although at first glance it does. its lyrics could came out of a Communist handbook. Lennon lyrics are: "Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try"...and "Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion, too" (this is exactly what the satanist Globalist WEF wants with the world: they want to abolish Countries, forbit worship to God, erase Countries and peoples culture and History). Somehow Lennon thought that a one world Communist style ruled super state would bring about peace and prosperity on Earth. But we had that with Communism in Russia and still today in China. The total people murdered in Communist Soviet Union and China combined is over 120 million - more than Hitler and his Nazis murdered in World War 2.
