    I knew you would love this! This is Anneke's song which she usually sings with Marcella on the harmony. Marcella skilfully changes her voice as she harmonises with Anneke and Floor in turn. As a side note, Arjen Lucassen who is behind the Ayreon project was the first to release a record which included Floor. :-)

    These three ladies Floor Jansen, Anneke van Giersbergen and Marcela Bovio, are all recognised as frontwomen but come together for Arjen Anthony Lucassen's projects plus several more singers including Floor's sister Irene. To hear this song at a much earlier concert where Floor and Irene are the only two female singers and singing backing and leads try Star One 2003 (live) Start at 53.14 ua-cam.com/video/SuRJP_qmGy0/v-deo.html

    Floor was extra inspired by Anneke because Anneke is Dutch like Floor. So the fact that she was a fellow Dutch woman made it even more relatable for Floor when she first heard Anneke sing as lead singer in Dutch band The Gathering during the early nineties.

    I think you'll like Anneke van Giersbergen singing Ih Ah with the wonderful Devin Townsend. ua-cam.com/video/cN6fHdPvEu0/v-deo.html Devin Townsend is known for his "Heaven Metal" (metal with high long-held-high-pitched tones and a wall-of-sound background. ) He calls Anneke "Metal's Tinker-Bell" because she sprinkles gold-dust over his sounds. Most reactions are about Devin performing "Kingdom" at EMG-TV with Anneke pre-recorded in the background. ua-cam.com/video/nubJjB95VdY/v-deo.html

    If you see more songs from this live performance you will see that Marcela Bovio is one of The Ayreon Angels, the backing singers with Lisette van den Berg and Irene Jansen ( yes, Floor's sister).
    For The Human Equation, Marcela was chosen by Arjen Lucassen as singer for the "wife-part" of the album and show.
    Arjen wanted to give an unknown artist a chance to sing in The Human Equation and asked the fans all over the world to send in their recordings of their singing.
    Eventually 4 remainded and he chose Marcela and had her flown over to The Netherlands from Mexico.
    The rest is history as Marcela stayed and lives in Amsterdam and is part of the band Mayan and also does solo work. Last album: Dark Horse | White Horse in 2021 .

    Ayreon is a musical project by Dutch songwriter, singer, musician and record producer Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Ayreon's music is described as progressive rock, progressive metal and power metal sometimes combined with genres such as folk, electronica, experimental and classical music. The majority of Ayreon's albums are dubbed "rock operas" because the albums contain complex storylines featuring a host of characters, usually with each one being represented by a unique vocalist.
    Each Ayreon album tells a different story, but all, with the exceptions of Actual Fantasy, The Theory of Everything, and Transitus, take place in the same fictional, science fiction universe; additionally, Lucassen's solo album Lost in the New Real is also set in the Ayreon universe. Ayreon's music is characterized by the use of traditional instruments in rock music mixed with instruments more native to folk and classical music. Lucassen writes the music and the lyrics, sings and plays most of the instruments on all of the Ayreon albums, alongside many guest musicians. His most regular collaborator is drummer Ed Warby.
    So, the song:
    The Lovely singers are Floor Jansen, who you know. Anneke van Giersbergen - Floors inspiration and pioneer of Female Metal in Netherlands and Marcela Bovio (Star One, MaYaN, ex-Stream of Passion, ex-Elfonía), an Ayreon regular and Talent from Mexico. The song is off 'The Electric Castle' Album. The Performance is from the 'Ayreon Universe' Concert - This concert is pretty much a 'Best Of', which makes it an excellent introduction to the whole Ayreon Concept.
    AND...Anneke van Giersbergen is THE mother of (female fronted) symphonic metal in Europe. She and her band "The Gathering" predated Nightwish and Tarja, and she was the inspiration for many of the later more well known singers such as Floor, Sharon den Adel, Simone Simons, Delain, etc, etc.

    About Marcela, she was basically discovered by Ayreon, she was a part of Stream of Passion, another Ayreon project where he played the guitar, you should also check them out.
    And just like Floor took inspiration from Anneke, so did Marcela; she used to sing The Gathering (former Anneke's band) covers back in Mexico.

    Marcela Bovio is an mexican singer and violinist who is currently in the symphonic death metal band MaYan she has done backing vocals for Epica and is one of the founding members of the band Vuur. She also does multi collaborations as well.

    Hi Debbie. You are absolutely right in as much as all three ladies front their own respective bands. Marcela is an interesting singer, having been brought-up in Mexico, she has naturalised in The Netherlands and appears in many of Arjen Lucassen's projects. Here she sings the Alto line to Anneke and Floor's Soprano melodies. This is a concertt which features much of Arjen's work and is entitled Ayreon Universe. You were also right about the pronunciation[; Air-eee-on, See ya Myrtle Turtle!! lol x

    Ayreon ( you pronounced it right the first time 👍) isn't a " band " as such rather a project by a Dutch composer / multi instrumentalist / genius called Arjen Lucassen . Such is the respect and esteem that Arjen commands he can call on some of the world's best vocalists and instrumentalists both solo performers and from some of the biggest bands ( usually metal ) .
    Sadly because of logistics and performers own schedules it is very seldom that there are live Ayreon concerts - but there are some and most of the live stuff is available on UA-cam ( luckily ! )
    As others will tell you probably the best 3 songs to start with if you are going to do more Ayreon reactions are - in no particular order -
    " Intergalactic Space Crusaders " - ua-cam.com/video/mDjomu33Xzc/v-deo.html
    " Everybody Dies " - ua-cam.com/video/9AAXtUdM7xE/v-deo.html

There is at least one more album from Stream of Passion, where Arjen is no longer included, stating "I'm not needed for this to go further."

    I felt in love with Anneke listening to The Blower's Daughter and i am often listening to Jolene cover. I am, so glad that recording of Anneke playing acoustic guitar at The Bastille is on yt.

    Genius of Arjen Lucassen and these ladies! The harmony as written and as it is performed! Ayreon did a piece with the lead singer from Kamelot and a certain red-haired friend of Floor's (you might remember?....) ua-cam.com/video/ozmTXh2CBWw/v-deo.html

    Yay! You did Ayreon! I love this band (well, it's more of a "collective" of various musicians and vocalists gathered together by Arjen Lucasson, the mastermind behind Ayreon). Almost every album from Ayreon is a concept album, with the various characters parts sung by the artists that Arjen has selected. I'm pretty sure that everyone that he has asked to be part of his albums has said yes. I have seen 3 live shows (videos, not in person) and all three have been magical. For The Theater Equation show, they recreated the entire The Human Equation album with each singer acting our their parts on stage...it was amazing! Anyways, I'm rambling so I'll wrap this up by saying thanks for the Ayreon reaction and please do more! Cheers!

    Well I'm a sucker for a good harmony at any time, but if you put these three together it turns into an almost religious experience - and I'm an atheist 🤣 Seriously, I thought I'd heard just about everything there was to hear from Floor, but you've introduced me to something new I had never heard of. A million thanks!

    Hello Debbie, NW Army Italian Division reporting for duty. Ayreon is another wonderful project that Floor has been called to collaborate on for many years together with many other wonderful and talented singers and musicians. The Ayreon project was born in the brilliant mind of Arjen Lucassen, a Dutch musician and singer like Floor. You absolutely have to react to "The day that the world breaks down" and " Everybody dies".

    The Electric Castle, which this is from, is a truly wonderful piece. Highly recommend Isis and Osiris, the opener. Arjen is one of the few people in the world that can take drastically different characters, and sometimes even drastically different vocals and styles of music, smash them all together into a rock opera, and have it not only work every time, but be amazingly epic.

    Marcela Bovio (MaYan/ Stream of Passion) ,Anneke van Giersbergen (ex- The Gatheing/ Vuur/The Gentle Storm/Solo) Godmother of Dutch female metal singers.
    Ayreon is a prog rock/metal opera project of Dutch musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen. He writes the songs , and invites guest musicians and singers to perform. Mostly a studio project. This performance is part of one of the few live concerts that were put together, the Ayreon Universe show which is pretty much a best of Ayreon and Star One. Star One being another project of Arjen.
    I concur with others suggesting Ayreon's The Day That The World Breaks Down music video.

    Very good Debbie !
    You had the pronunciation pretty right and I am no linguist whatsoever, far from it, very far. But I did some digging.
    Ayreon is really an easy phonetic representation of Arjen, many European continentals say a j as y, it comes from ancient Greek where the j was just a different script to define a Y or "ee" sound but as a consonant not a vowel.
    The European continentals also make an r in more of an "air" sound too, so for Arjen you get Air - ee - onn, the "en" being a bit French-like.
    I am no linguist, coming up for 11 years living in France, if they speak to me like a 4yo child I can get by, otherwise its a huge struggle and often my Franglais misses the mark. 🙂 In defence, I live in an isolated house and have no real contact from one week to the next, that and being old the grey matter is slow and unreceptive. The defence rests its case. . . . . .
    I applaud your reaction efforts.
    R.

    Anneke is 8 years older than Floor. Floor just turned 42 on Feb 21 and Anneke turns 50 in March. I don't know what the Netherlands is doing but they have a large majority of the female lead metal singers. They are turning out some talented ladies.

    Anneke van Giersbergen. Gearsbergen. The first e in Bergen is pronounced as the e in let. The second as the U in gun.
    The G is not pronounced as the G in gun because it’s a Dutch G. If you cough you make a sound like uche uche. That sound of the ch.
    Have a look at The druids turn to stone, from the same live concert.
