The sound in Brussels with this concert was horrible! It was too loud and sometimes too fake! Basedrum-hits and bassguitar-strokes where constantly a 'roar' of excessive sound, too loud and too noisy and never distinguishable. Often, because of the overpowered loudness of the sound it seemed that Laura was singing out of tune. Even sometimes it wasn't her natural voice anymore but a hurricane of brute distorted noise. Why? Why that loudness? Why raping a beautiful voice with this overempowerment? I had the 'privilige' to have a broad view over the sound- and lightcontrol box in Vorst Nationaal from my seat. And what I saw at the boards of the sound engineers was really astonishing: only a constant 'red' wave over the controlmeters, even in slow ballads. Sometimes there was so much overpower that the sound stopped or skipped because of the overload of power and interventions of the automated intervention systems, starting in the openingsong of the concert were you could see that Laura 'missed' her music and her lyrics. I even made a Decibel-check on my mobilephone, which is, I recognize, not very precise. But the values I read where that high that in the Netherlands, where I live, a concert with these values is forbidden. Within an hour I went outside where I met dozens of other disappointed fans who had also decided to leave the venue. Even earplugs, which my wife and dozens of other had put in their ears didn't work at all. These soundengineers are a disgrace for music. Hope that Laura Pausini will overlook the complaints of dozens of her fans. And no, it was not the fault of the venue because Vorst Nationaal receives each year dozens of top artists with top soundengineers where the sound is incredible then!

To me it sounded great, just one song peaked for a while...
