That's me 💗 Thank you for this reaction 🤍

She made the world cry and the world needed it ❤

I’m not French and didn’t understand a word and it still brought me to tears. When music is conveyed the correct way it doesn’t matter if you speak the language of the lyrics. Music is a universal language and Emma speaks it. Exceptional!

Doesn't matter how many times I watch this, I cry. She was mesmerizing

[foxyut]

I was at four of the twelve concerts that Emma sang at in Maastricht. Emma was fantastic and gave faultless performances throughout all twelve concerts, with standing ovations at each. I felt privileged to be there.

I am French and this is not a love song. It s about the relation between a singer and her public. She wants to sing about who she is and she really wants to pass her emotions to the public, to make them understand who she is. She wants to be loved by the public because she is not sure to love herself.

At age 64, I'm so glad to be alive to have heard this magnificent performance 🎉

I'm from the Netherlands and i was so lucky to be in Maastricht at the Christmas concert of André Rieu. There i saw and heared Emma for the first time in my life ! Normaly i listen to the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and other rockbands. But this was the most beautiful sound and performance i've ever heard in all my life Emma is spectacular !!

[leehudson]

I have watched her performance over 2 dozen times and her voice brings me to tears everytime. She has a voice from Angels.

[elizabethcallen]

I am American. I am from the South close to New Orleans in Louisiana. We have wonderful musicians.
I have to say that her performance brought me to tears. I do comprehend French, but it was beyond language. Her passion was palpable! I LOVE THIS!! Well done❤

As a cancer patient, this gives me the power to fight, all the things whats coming my way. Thanks for not interrupting this song.

when a reactor doesn't pause, you know it's flipping amazing and this is stunning!!!

[Maccattack]

This incredible voice could stop a war in it's tracks. The passion in her voice is amazing.

[flacjacket]

The most moving performance I have ever encountered in my life, simple as.

[r.p.vanloon]

So proud of our brave Dutch little princess. Thank God she is blessed with the voice of an angel.

[AuthenticallySpeaking]

I haven't stopped listening to Emma sing this song since I first heard it about a week ago. so incredibly powerful and moving. And I wholeheartedly appreciated your commentary, too! Thanks you for your beautiful words!

[swagibaby]

I like her Version more than the original!

[rosspayne]

To see young talent make the audience smile and cry in the same song is a beautiful thing ( MUSIC IS LOVE ! )

[monicaplummer]

I’m obsessed with this song! I feel it in my soul the way she sings it, so beautiful! I pray she finds a cure for this disease!

[lordleonusa]

Every single time. Every single time, I watch this, I CRY like a baby, this song touches the heart of this 65-year-old man. X (I have spent about 6 months of my life in the Netherlands, I adore the Dutch people and their way of life, they are so very civilized and kind). True talent is ALL about CONTROL, and this little angel has it!
