I agree, I think that's what it is for me too. I don't necessarily think Anette is the world's best singer; hell, I wouldn't even cite her as one of my favorites, but there's no denying that as a songwriter, Tuomas knows how to bring out the better qualities of the singers he works with.
And there are some songs on DPP, definitely, that I could almost hear Tarja's voice on. Songs like "Eva" and "Meadows of Heaven", especially, have that feel like they could have been written for Tarja, or at the very least, that her voice would sound fitting on them. Not so much on songs like "For the Heart I Once Had", "Cadence of Her Last Breath", or "The Islander".
I can't imagine Tarja doing FTHIOH at all. Suits Annette very well though and perhaps my favorite vocal job of hers on the CD.
Gotta remember all of DPP was written in a singer void. Everything was done before Annette came on board.
I'm really looking forward to the next CD now that Tuomas has the whole team together.
