Nightwish singer diary is up

I tried to search for some new possibilities for the new Nightwish singer. When I Googled "new nightwish singer", the results weren't very helpful. Either because I know that some of the singers are ruled out and because of irrelevance. I thought that I may get different, possibly better results if I Googled those words in Finnish. I tried to Google (including using http://www.freedict.com/onldict/fin.html) what the words are in Finnish for "new singer" or the closest words that I could figure out. I obviously don't speak any Finnish, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

"Uuden laulajan"

"Uusi laulaja"

And I found out the Finnish (Suomi) words for Nightwish.

"Nightwishin"

"Nightwishiä"

"Nightwishiltä"

One of the singers that came up in the Google images search was "Katra".

With my ignorance of the Finnish language, I have no idea if she is or was ever considered a possibility or has been ruled out. I did read something, in English, about her being compared to Tarja though. She's got a nice voice and has sung for metal and soft piano songs. If anyone has any information, please let me know. Thanks.
 
I'm STILL rooting for Colleen! :lol: :lol: :lol:



Yeah, so true. It's really nothing short of amazing.

Yeah some classified government information has been easier to leak (i.e. Valerie Plame) or legally made public, than this. I wonder if Finland has an equivalent to the "Freedom of Information Act" to make Tuomas tell us before May 30th? :p
 
Well, she's currently got a conflict in her upcoming show dates with their US tour unless she's planning on flying to Europe and back between the shows on the 8th & the 10th.

I think that someone we know at LexusNexus could probably help!
Or someone we know who will start work there soon!

LOL! Doing a background check on NW, just to find out who the new lead singer will be...would NOT be worth that person losing their job! Not to mention infringing on their privacy rights! Even if that person could get away with it, w/o risk to his job, it's a good thing that this person respects civil liberties! :saint:
 
Interesting....smart keeping it a secret, mystery sells...

Its NOT hard to throw people off with writing though....any good writer/translator could do it...

The plot thickens....:cool: :Smokin: :cool:
 
Why do I have the sneaky suspicion that all this smoke is gonna be blown, and the new fronwoman turns out to be Nicole Bugner, which was the obvious choice from minute one?
 
Except that is from a Finnish Tabloid that was released a few months ago. Most of the Finns at the NW forums agree that it's most likely just some woman that the tabloid writers assume is the new singer.

OMG! I guess I am just desperate. The cover kicks ass, though. Reminds me of something King Diamond would put out.
 
Well, be annoyed no further! Here is a picture of their frontwoman as provided by Germany's Metal Hammer. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/Wacken/metalhammer.jpg

Does she look like Nicole Bugner? I think she does.

It looks ALLOT like Nicole Bognar, then again it also bears a striking resemblance to an unknow singer from Finland, who is the frontwoman of a band called Tacere, and her name is Helena Haaparanta. Well, we shall see in a few days.
