There's no doubt - these two women are very impressive and professional. For a long time they work with DJ BoBo and we always see them on stage with him. They dance like Goddesses and now we don't imagine BoBo without Nancy Baumann and Claire Alexander. And of course we admire the way they sing... always changing their voice when it needed. It seemed weird but we just considered them talented singers. Definitely they are and also they are perfect actresses too! There's no secret any more that they don't sing live using the phonogram of original female vocalists... Why? DJ BoBo says that people want to hear original female vocals on stage, that's the reason why we see one people and hear another people. In this case BoBo had a lot of problems with original female vocalist who were against of using their phonogram without their presence on stage. Anyway Nancy sang live in "Magic Tour" ("Let The Dream Come True", "Shadows Of The Night" etc.), "Mystasia Tour" ("Shadows Of The Night") and "Visions Show" ("What A Feeling"). But still we don't know who are that women whose voice we hear on our CDs. I guess it's time to found out...
