Irene Jansen appreciation post!

From wikipedia:

Irene Jansen is a Dutch singer. She sang in Ayreon album The Human Equation, portraying the character Passion. She was also the live backing vocalist of Star One during their tour in 2003, and played the character Morgana in two Gary Hughes concept albums. She was the lead singer of a power metal band called Karma.

She is the younger sister of former After Forever, and current ReVamp singer Floor Jansen.

I love her voice! She sounds similar to Floor, but her way of singing is a bit different, more rock. She’s amazing!

Today I’ve been looking for any and all recordings of Irene Jansen singing. I think I’ve found almost everything there is (except for the demo she made with her now-defunct band, Karma). There’s not much out there, which is a real shame. She’s absolutely fantastic.

Irene is the best Merlin ♥
