A little different musical sound from Europe: Newly edited w/videos included

[snowman]

The recent "music" thread got me thinking about a singer I've been listening to lately on YouTube. She's a German lady named Helene Fischer(pr. "He-lay-nuh" I believe), who apparently has been popular in Germany for some time, but hasn't ventured outside the country much to perform(Maybe our European members could fill us in.).

I was a voice major in college and like many members here have learned to appreciate a number of different genres of music. I thought some of you might like to take a cyber trip to Germany to sample a few of Ms. Fischer's songs. I don't care for a lot of the stage theatrics, and the lyrics are generally empty like a lot of modern popular songs(I had to google some translations, since I haven't learned the language of my forebears.). However the songs feature some very pleasant melodic lines, and she has a very nice voice which fits those melodies well. A number of the songs have a similar sound and structure, but if you like it, it doesn't get old. Here are a few examples for you:

Ausgezeichnet! Und eine schön Deutsche Mädchen auch! Vielen dank!

Easy voice...

No strain, beautiful and sensual tone. Style? I'll have to listen to more to make an opinion. It's nice, but I'm not sure it's my speed. She is a very good looking lady and it looks like her popularity is spreading.

Here's another beautiful melody which differs from many of the others:

Where's the link? I can't see one.

Star:

I just copied and pasted the song titles instead of the links. If you do the same, you'll have to choose from several different performances of the song. Sorry to be unorthodox. Videos now included 3/19.

Here's a video of a song which highlights the quality of her voice perhaps more than the others:

The song title is "Du lässt mich sein, so wie ich bin"

My favorite Helene Fischer song

This woman can just stand and sing, unlike a lot of popular singers who haven't the vocal capability and rely on a loud band to cover up their lesser talent.

A great duet, Helene Fischer and Andrea Bocelli

Helene Fischer has such a great voice. I hope you enjoy her duet.

Good but I think I'll stick with the Celtic Women.

Thanks for adding an endorsement, JB. I think a number of our members would appreciate this lady's music -maybe I should edit my uninspiring title for the thread, and/or post links instead of song titles. I'll see what I can do.

Good but I think I'll stick with the Celtic Women.

That's good stuff, too -no question. Especially the haunting old Celtic folk songs, like Isle of Innisfree, and Carrickfergus.
