The singing is not that bad actually I like it One of the first cd's i bought with them was the collection album, then I understand what I have missed soo, now I have to borrow all the albums of an friend of mine My favorite song of them must me the Elvenpath. And that was one of the songs I dident like at first

Soo, Finns are weird? What about us from Norway I have been in Finland severel times Nice place

 

[Horus]

Everybody's wierd in my opinion.

Nightwish on tour with Sonata Arctica? I guess I'm gonna end up going to this one alone.

 

[Broken Beautifully]

Yep. I was pretty devastated by Tarja's release from the band, but its time to move on. I hope they get a female singer again, preferably operatic like Tarja is. Not sure as to whether a male vocalist would really elevate the band's musical quality like Tarja did.

me too, I don't think they'll be the same without her! She was the one thing that amkes that band distinctive in my opinion, you know what I mean?

 

[The Painkiller]

Nightwish is a great band and i wish they will return with a new vocalist.

 

[MetalOperaChick]

i never said they wearnt talented they are im just not into that sort of singing jeeze!

Yes well...us poor opera singers are a rare breed though. You gotta at least give us some credit. It's hard work. I've worked over 11 years, it's not all fun and games...

I think Nightwish without Operatic vocals would be a travesty and a BAD move for the band. I think even going anywhere near even something like Simmone Simmons would be a bad choice but that's just me. I really think they should stick with the same sound.

 

[MetalOperaChick]

Gah, I'm seeing such pathetic posts in this topic. "He shouldn't have fired her, and I hope he gets what he deserves. Blah". Don't you think Tuomas did it for a reason? I don't think he would have sacked her if nothing was wrong. If there had been another way, I think they would have chosen it.

Btw, Tarja once said to Tuomas: "Rembember Tuomas, that I don't need Nightwish for my career anymore". And she also said that she would quit Nightwish after the next cd anyways. They barely spoke together, and when they did, it happened over e-mail. The band would obviously not function if Tarja would have been in it still. Tuomas and the other guys did the right thing!

Agreed. Stupid Divas.

 

[Vacant_Planets]

wht if its was a male wiv a female vioce... and it actually worked! hey?

They wouldn't do that, Thomas' real genius was in the attention he was able to draw to the band image wise, Although a guy with a voice like midnight could easily pull it off, and more refined as well. We'll see what happens.

I heard Nightwish is coming to the Culture Room in South Florida. Rumor is the Culture Room is trying to get PREMONITION for one show with Nightwish.

PREMONITION sold well in Greece, Japan and somewhere in the Ukraine.

Toured US with several heavy metal fests and
had a song profiled as background music for the TV show
SMALLVILLE.

Recently PREMONITION was included in an indie music video CD called Best Music Videos You've Never Seen, Vol. 3. Great music... Well produced!

Now they're going to do it one more time!

Cool Stuff

I hate the new vocalist I just really don't like her voice... it doesn't sound like Nightwish anymore.

Well while doing some surfing found this link http://www.nightwish.com/
read an article that Nightwish has a new lead singer Anette Olzon some info on her

Name:
Anette Olzon

Birthday:
21 June 1971

Place of residence:
Sweden

Hobbies:
Exercising, clothes, reading books and taking long walks in the wild.

Vices:
None ;=)

Musical background:
I was raised in a musical family and I've been singing since childhood. My mom also forced me to play the oboe for 8 years! I toured constantly with my mom and her band in my childhood, sometimes I even sang on stage with them.

After I turned 13, I started competing in several talent shows. I joined my first real band when I was 17, it was a cover band and all the other musicians were older than me. After playing cover songs, I joined a band called Alyson Avenue, first just as a studio singer, later as their leading lady. We've released 2 albums since 2000.

At the age of 21, I played the leading role in a rock opera/musical called "Gränsland" in Helsingborg. After that I got in to the Balettakademien in Gothenburg. In addition to the already mentioned, I've been in several other bands over the years, I've sung in choirs, done studio work for various projects and I've even occasionally been a wedding singer. Recently I sang a duet with Michael Bormann (ex-Jaded Heart-singer) on his album "Conspiracy". During my singing career I've sung nearly every kind of music that there is!

In my earlier days I took singing lessons at the Copenhagen Music Conservatorie, in Helsingör, Denmark with a private teacher. Nowadays, when its needed, I take lessons from a private teacher at the Malmö Music University.

Equipment:
Whatever microphone and in-ear system the NW-crew fix for me.

Idols in music:
I don't have any real "idols" nowadays, but I do look up to all musicians that are humble and do not think too much of themselves.

Idols in life:
People that are themselves, despite what other people think.

Life philosophy:
Live your life fully - love, laugh and cry with all your heart, life doesn't last forever...

Place you would like to go:
Oh, there are so many!! Lapland, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Egypt....

What makes you laugh:
Oh, many things... it's easy to make me laugh... but mainly funny tv-series like Jackass and Friends and of course Emppu and Ewo..

First record you bought:
Well the first one was, of course since I am Swedish, an ABBA album...

All time top 5 albums:
Can't name just 5...

Killing time on tour:
We'll see... But it'll most likely be reading, watching movies and playing games.

Preparation for a show:
I do my vocal warm-up and drink some green tea with honey. I always need to spend the last 10 minutes before a show on my own to focus properly, to prepare myself mentally and to relax.

Strangest experience on tour:
I do not have the kind of tour memories that the guys have since I've only done concerts in Scandinavia, but I still remember the old days with my first cover band Take Cover, when we played at a motorcycle party somewhere in the south of Sweden. They had strippers, and the crowd was screaming "Show us your boobs" etc. to me.. After the gig, when we should've collected the payment, some MC-guys started to fight with the guys in our band and we had to drive away with a full-loaded car and its attached trailer as fast as we could.. I was scared... Brr...
They also destroyed one of our big speakers by pouring beer into it...
Grrr...

Worst nightmare on stage:
Losing my voice, not being able to sing as good as I'd want...

Favorite Nightwish song:
All the songs from the new album "Ever Dream", "Higher than Hope".

Worst nightmare in general:
Losing my voice and that something would happen to my closest family members or to my friends.

Favorite band/musician:
There are too many!

Favorite book:
I have many favourites, but I love Paolo Coelho's books, mainly "Veronica decides to die". I also loved Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons".

Favorite drink:
Sparkling mineral water with some nice added taste, vanilla vodka and cider.

Favorite food:
Many - Chinese, sushi, Thai, Mexican...

Favorite animal:
Cats and horses.

Favorite movie:
"Titanic", "Gladiator", "Braveheart" and many more...

Favorite TV show:
I don't watch that much TV, but I love "Desperate Housewives" and "Friends"!

Dumbest question you have ever been asked:
None, there are no dumb questions.. 'cause if the person asking the question feels that she/he wants to know it, it's not a dumb question for them.
