^Yeah, and this also brings up something else that I've been thinking. I actually feel really sorry for Anette on this point, that Floor is stepping in. Because Floor has a large established fan base. She is widely considered one of the best female vocalists in the genre. And Floor has a style...

I hope that they don't just edit her out. That would be an insult to her and the work she put into it. I also wonder what's going to happen with the premiere of the movie. It SUCKS, plain and simple, that they're going to show the movie and then have a Nightwish concert, and Anette will NOT be...

^Yeah. I never got to meet her. :( I'm sad about that. I always did want to meet her, but I had to leave before she came out at my first NW show, and at my second, NW didn't come out at all. Maybe it's a strange wish, but I hope they pick someone somewhat unknown again, because I always enjoy...

Yeah, exactly. I was definitely more shocked this time than when Tarja was fired. There had always been signs that things were not good between NW and Tarja. It was always a very strained relationship. But Anette, it never felt that way. Sure, they talked about having difficulties, but it was...

^I think that was why Tuomas said they would not reveal any of the other candidates (unless, obviously, the candidates themselves revealed that they were the candidates...that was a weird sentence, sorry). Because he said more than a few of them were quite well-known, and imagine if a) you lost...

^Hey, C! Nowhere in particular. Took a long break from forums, just a lot of drama and blah. But I had to de-lurk to give my thoughts on the latest NW drama, of course! :) Other than that, not much is different. School, work. Procrastinating on a paper I'm meant to be writing, of course...

This is all so strange. On the one hand, it feels very planned (Anette saying she's studying to be a nurse on the side -- what a coincidence! -- and then Floor just HAPPENS to be able to fly many miles to go on tour and has practiced the songs and knows the lyrics off by heart...yeah, sure)...

@Mooki: it's a common myth that Botox "freezes your face." Actually, Botox doesn't...botched Botox does. If a Botox job is botched, that's when your face is "frozen." Yes, Botox in any circumstance stiffens the muscles in your face which smooths out expression lines, but only an inexperienced or...

They are sure taking their damn time with these dates. :P I really want to know, because depending on if they stop in this city again like on the DPP tour, I can either stay put or I'll have to make the 2 hour trip to Toronto. C'mon, guys, announce it already! :P

^Yes, but Marcelo was still in the picture by that time. He married Tarja in 2001, but she knew him and was dating him long before that. Marcelo credits himself (most undeservingly, I think) with "saving" the band because supposedly he was able to get them to reconcile. This I doubt, because...

I'd say it's almost certain Anette has a 3-octave range. She's also a soprano, which a lot of Anette-haters can't seem to get, because she doesn't sing like Tarja. She has a soprano range, higher up, and the way that Tarja sounds is because of her classical training and the way in which she's...

^It's actually being chosen by the band & management now, while keeping the views in mind. So, it's a bit more fair, yeah.

I don't know if any of you have read Metal Hammer's issue on Nightwish (if you haven't, you can go see it on the official English forum, Joana kindly posted it there). I wouldn't worry too much about it, because it's a bad interview, but this part Anette said caught my eye. She said that a...

^SO WHERE IS THIS ANNOUNCEMENT? I HAVE BEEN WAITING! :O

Welcome to everyone! And look, C! I'm posting on YOUR forum! I'm being good! Can I have a cookie? :D :lol:
