For the longest time all I listened to by them was Nemo, Walking in the Air, Nymphomaniac Fantasia, and The Phantom of the Opera...though I had much more (music junkie here). So the other day I was waxing nostalgic over Alyssa, and decided to listen to everything else by Nightwish (her fave with Blutengel and Evanescence)...oh...my...fucking...gawd. But anyways, I shall offer up an analogy for the Tarja vs. Anette debate, thereby leaving my mark. In my opinion: Tarja Turunen : Anette Olzon :: Amy Lee : Sharon Den Adel Nightwish live is LIVE!!! | Reviewer: Betsy | 9/19/08 For all of you who like to discuss the differences between Anette & Tarja, I'd love for us to consider their live performance. I just saw Dark Passion Play live and their performances the songs were amazing - most obviously the absolute best concert that either my husband or I have ever experienced! or me one of the main reasons it was spectacular was how alive Anette really was - they opened with "Bye Bye Beautiful" and I imagine THAT was empowering to Anette personally. She rocks the crowd, is a lovely ornament to the stage and clearly a great support to the rest of the band in their performing. She's shown an amazing ability and courage to come to the band in such a dramatic way, which would include such drama and controversy about whether or not she could fit the bill. Obviously she has filled it perfectly and the cohesiveness of the band is so powerful in concert! The amazing connection between the band members is the number one reason this concert tops the list for our lifetime of concerts experienced. However, it's not just about Anette... Emppu is wildly entertaining!!! In his bio on their official site http://www.nightwish.com/en/band/members he says his strangest experience is [a] "gig without any mistakes.. haven´t had yet.." - so he must mean that it's amazing he's never made a mistake on tour because it sure seems like his performance is perfected! But he toys with his instrument as if it's a character he's talking to and it DID appear once that he flirted with making fun of it as he would a woman being courted; perhaps he DID make a mistake but is so unified with the movement of the song and the band that it is entirely unnoticeable as a mistake. So Emppu, if you've made a mistake in every gig but played it off with such entertaining joy - then your fans may prefer that you never have a gig without a mistake! (And thanks for posing the photo - from the long haired brunette in the black corset in the balcony 10 feet from the stage edge, stage left, in Portland on Sept. 10th.) They lyrics are astonishingly beautiful, but would be nothing without the music that guides the lyrics along their path! We LOVE the band…with Anette and EVERY member that works with such passion. :} *just introduced to this band and is loving them | Reviewer: Emma | 9/13/08 i like how this song starts out (cause i know alot of bands that dont do this)i like how it starts out slow and how it spreads itself out i personally love this song and i have listened to both of thee singers and i truely prefure annets voice. for the fact that especially in this song it is just wonderful and it has so much power that you cant help but listen and enjoy this song. infact i'm going to be doing poi to this song for my schools "night under the stars" for this same reason. and this is by far my favoret song Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/8/08 This song is amazing. By the way, Tarja didn't quit. She was fired because the money and fame got to her head, making her act like a royal bitch. Her asshole husband didn't help either. Master Passion Greed, Nightwish's "angriest" song? Written about Tarja's husband. My Opinion | Reviewer: Christa! | 8/10/08 I personally like Tarja better. Her operatic voice fits with the music. I never knew why she quit though. Although I do like Anette. But when I listen to Nighwish with Tarja's voice, it feels like I am listening to Nightwish (well duh!). But when I listen to them with Anette, it feels like it's a completely different band. Not bad though, just different. I can't think of them as Nightwish when she sings. Voices | Reviewer: ditch13 | 8/7/08 Opera voice w/ rock/metal music is always an explosive combination to me, it's what make it dark & gothic with elegance. I love Tarja voice, she has talent of a real singer (so is Amy Lee). But after reading some of the comments, it is true that her voice is very stoic and "grand", yet it lacks of the emotion, empathy, and the softness it sometimes needs for the music/song itself. And I do think even metal need a touch of the tenderness in certain situation. Anette has a more common voice to me, like a lot of pop singers, but she can carry out the necessary emotion of the song. They both are totally different so perhaps we shouldn't really compare. If we appreciate the song itself, it should be the music and the lyric that we focus on. If we just look for performance, then it'll be a difference case. n_n Unfading . . . . | Reviewer: Mina | 7/29/08 The lyrics blow me away. To me, it's about something/someone you find beauty in, a beauty others (even the ones that love you) reject and don't understand. But no matter what, you will always remember it/him/her, and those memories will never fade away. Simply put, Tuomas is a genius. I'd marry him in a heartbeat. This "Tarja vs. Anette" issue may never rest in peace. Tarja's voice is undeniably formidable and has certainly left a great impression on Nightwish's work and fans. It solely depends on you alone whether or not you're comfortable with the transition to Anette. In my opinion, Tarja's voice possesses impeccable beauty and power. Unfortunately, it's stoic, shallow, and impossible to draw emotion from. When I listened to some of Nightwish's earlier work from albums such as Oceanborn and Once, I thought the music was fascinating, and the lyrics were brilliant. I thought Tuomas was my hero, and I still do. But when I listened to Tarja, she drew me further away from the music. Anette's voice has more light within. It may not have that sheer quality that Tarja seemed to have, so it does seem harder to appreciate. But her voice has more grace and emotion than I believe Tarja will ever have. I hope everyone realizes that no matter what, Tarja always has a place in Nightwish and that'll never go away. I also think that the vocalist of any band should never keep you from recgonizing the talent of the band or listening to them. The vocals are simply a part of it all. Maybe the most memorable part to many, but inevitably, still a part. Well, | Reviewer: Scaldrew | 7/15/08 Well,I know Tarja was acting kinda selfish but if you're here to debate about Tarja or Anette,go build a forum,it's about the lyrics,i don't quite care that she left and that Anette joined,i love the song,that's actually all that counts Awesome | Reviewer: K | 6/28/08 They both have awesome voices, but I think Anette suits the genre of music better. Tarja's opera isn't right for this sort of music, and I personally like Nightwish a lot better now than the old. And this song...definately my fave. oh lord! | Reviewer: SuruHardcore | 6/25/08 oh lord...when Tarja went out of NightWish I said: I will Never listen anymore to this band...but when a friend of mine borrowed me this song i thought..."I want more!" Tarja had a very nice voice, and the lyrics were amazing. But Annette is the best and this time the lyrics are better...so please if someone wants to speak about this band with me take my e-mail and write as fas as it cans... P.S: my e-mail adress is my msn acount...see ya people! Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
