K3 Kaput

And so it’s farewell. Sunday in Rotterdam, Holland, Kathleen Aerts appeared with Karen Damen and Kristel Verbeke for the last time. K3 — in my opinion one of the very best Pop music girl groups ever assembled — is no more.

Watching the video, to me it appears the farewell performance had little energy and excitement. A replacement for Kathleen will soon be selected, but K3 won’t be the same. I had the same feeling when David Duchovney left “The X-Files.”

More videos from last weekend’s Summer Festival have appeared.

‘Verliefd’ with K3

My not-so-secret shame, the Flemish girl group K3, will soon be gone, with the departure of Kathleen Aerts. The signs have been there for a while. Videos began to disappear from YouTube, including this one, which happens to be one of their very best.

‘Verliefd’ (“In Love”) is Karen Damen’s favorite K3 song, and it’s the second song by the girls that I heard back in June. The harmony that kicks in at :40 totally knocked me out and I was sold on K3. Here there be Pop music magic.

Kristel Meth

Isn’t this demonstration by K3 more for the dads in their TV audience? The kids don’t look very interested, but Pirate Pete sure seems happy. Maybe K3 should go back on Robert Jensen’s show. The dirty Dutchie would love to see Kathleen, Kristel and Karen do some more of this.
