The 31-year-old Judith Jobse from Culemborg is a late bloomer. Active in music since she was 22, she has played many bands and participated in various talent shows. Only in 1999, after a successful performance on an Open Stage in the Culemborg theater, Judith decided to sign up for the Your Big Break program. Accompanied by Humphrey Campbell (including Ruth Jacott), Judith won first prize with the
… self-written ballad You, released it as a single and topped the charts for weeks. On Blue Tears Judith shows herself from a firmer side, with songs like Is Your Heart In The Right Place, where the singer, just like Anouk, does not mince words. But the comparison quickly ends there because where Anouk is a real rock bitch, Judith profiles herself more from her quiet side with accessible pop music. The album ripples on pleasantly, but without any real outliers. The Netherlands will undoubtedly have a new talent. Now wait until Judith has found her musical niche. (BP) _more
