And to be 100% honest, i prefer Annete's voice. I listened to it all on random for a while and found myself skipping many of Tarja's songs. I found that in my own personal opinion that Tarja's voice, while technically near-perfect was lacking emotion and therefore seemed in jarring contrast to the rest of the (quite emotional) music and lyrics. The songs where Annete sings carry me away on waves of emotion all coming from her voice. No, she's not as technical a singer as Tarja, but she injects more emotion into each song she sings than Tarja did in an album. She draws you in and involves you in the song, immersing you in Tuomas' brilliant compositions. Her voice fits the rest of the music far better. Coming in late in the game and being given a selection gave me a chance to look at it all objectively, and this is my objective view. While i do enjoy some of Tarja's songs, my preference lies with Annete and Dark Passion Play. On a side note i would like to get some of Tarja's solo work, if they make the right backing music she would likewise be amazing. both are good but... | Reviewer: imtiaz | 11/12/08 yes I have truly heard DARK PASSION PLAY, i m always a die hard fan for thrash and gothic. I m not speaking in favor of TARJA but what i m sure is NIGHTWISH needs a voice like her. Ask ANETTE to sing anything from ONCE and she is miserable but ask TARJA to sing anything from DARK PASSION PLAY she is equally better. And thats the difference. Anette is good of course but not for this genre. Every vocalist has his/her genre and its not good anyway to put a great pop singer to sing an operatic song and vice-versa. can you imagine AXL ROSE from GNR replacing JAMES HETFIELD to sing FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS ?? ridiculous I wish... | Reviewer: Sofi | 9/27/08 I wish people would stop comparing Tarja and Anette. I'm a singer-in-training myself, and I think they both have great voices! Yeah, Tarja's was better "technically," and I can't even hope to be able to sing like that, but despite her fantastic voice she was sacked for a reason. A band isn't a band if you don't get along, and the others weren't getting along with her. Anette's voice is totally different, but that doesn't mean to say it's bad! I'm glad she's not an opera singer, because otherwise it would just make Nightwish look like total sellouts. Instead, they decided to take their music in a new direction, which they've done before anyway after Wishmaster. I wish people would stop criticising Anette because she's different to Tarja. I mean, Tarja was the one who got the sack, and I don't see HER throwing a bitchfit because Anette's voice is slightly "poppier." Also, it's unfair to say that Nightwish isn't Nightwish without Tarja. Yeah, she has a distinctive voice, but she wasn't the soul of the band. If there is a soul of the band, then it's Tuomas. He's the one writing the stuff, and he hasn't changed hugely. Yeah he's had to adjust a little to suit Anette's voice, but essentally it's still the same kind of thing. Personally, I will be sticking with Nightwish through thick and thin. People who deserted them after Tarja left evidentally were fans of Tarja rather than Nightwish, so rather than go on and on about how much you hate Anette, why not go invest in Tarja's solo album? i love both | Reviewer: kepalajamuran | 8/28/08 i love Tarja coz She had this dark charisma surrounding Her. She had the voice that can make you fly deep to your darkest side. i love Anette coz She had the voice of happy angel. Nightwish songs with her voice make your ears dancing in joyful metal. i got the image in my mind that Tarja is like a black angel, while Anette is like a mid era female warrior. love them! Come on... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/29/08 people, Tarja is a goddess, you can NEVER compare her with anette... I just heard two songs and I thought I was listening to some commercial, pop band... I miss the old Nightwish a LOT! I totally agree with Not the same | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/26/2008 A band is just that: a band, and when someone is replaced (anyone, not just the singer), it's over... it will never be the same by the way, love Tarja's new album fuck off | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/22/08 you posers have no idea what nightwish was...it was amazeing and then you just jump on the band wagan with who ever the next singer is i bet if annette (or however you spell that bitch's name) got kicked out tonight you would all (and when i say all i really dont mean all just the people who are "pro annette") would be like "dur dur i so hated lyke lyke!! that annette girl im so glad that lyke britny spears is lyke tha new lyke singer of lyke nightywishes lyke omg) honestly you people make me sick and i hope you all get hit by a bus. ...and not just a regular sized bus i mean like a english double decker bus... Not the same | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/26/08 I used to be a hardcore nightwish fan and to my opinion comparing Tarja to the new one is totally unfair. I have heard the new album. I have actually seen the video clip of Amarath and i was totally trhown off. I simply don't like the way that girl moves. I was used to a heavier, stronger and more deep presence from nightwish. Now i think i prefer Evanescence to them. In honest truth i stopped listening to them and listen only the old albums. The new sound just doesn't cover me anymore. It's a little too toyish and girlish. I secretely hoped that nightwish would continue only with Marco as a singer. THAT would have been a good change. Have you HEARD the man sing in Planet Hell? Honestly? Well, maybe it is just me or i am too metal to get the new Annette sound....i feel sorry, but not betrayed. It was their choice. So good luck to them. They lost some and they won some, that is how it goes i am afraid. I just don't want to listen to rubbish like an Annette Tarja duet. Give us a break people... In with the new..... | Reviewer: Alienator_X | 3/30/08 I think that some people are having a hard time swallowing Annette Olson's presence. Well, let's face it... i mean the past is past. Annette has a good voice which I'm more suited to. Tarja made the band a true legend, but i can't fathom some of the words she sings while Annette's voice is clear and has a nice presence. Honestly i prefer Annette. both great | Reviewer: AW | 3/27/08 First of all, Annette and Tarja should not be compared. Tarja is a soprano with all the rich overtones. Annette is a Mezzo-Soprano/Alto with deeper more prominent undertones. This in return would thereby make it difficult for each of them to sing music composed for each others voices. I like both of them. I think that they are very close matched. Annette v Tarja | Reviewer: Bobbin | 2/28/08 Loved Tarja. Always will love Tarja. I believe Annette has ability, but I still prefer Tarja. I'll keep listening to both singers, though. Maybe Tarja should come back? Then Annette and Tarja would do some EXCELLENT duets! Effin brilliant, wouldn't ya agree? Add New Review About The Artist By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5
