#11 Meine Lippen, sie küssen so heiss - solo song & DANCE. Just my opinion, however I think this is the very best song Carmen has ever sung & DANCED. I've not seen Carmen dance like this before, or since. She modulates her voice from soft to full volume. The tempo goes from moderate, to slow, to fast. BRAVO Better than O Mio Babbino, Caro because of the dance.
