      I actually quite liked Anette. Yeah she didn't have the same haunting voice of Tarja, nor did she have the power of Floor, but she was the voice Nightwish needed for the songs they did with her. Without her I don't think Dark Passion Play or Imaginaerum would have worked as well as they did. That's 2 great albums and a brilliant film that I feel wouldn't have worked without her.

    This is Anette at her best! The comments on every Nightwish video seem to degenerate into fight about who has been the best female vocalist in Nightwish, but without comparisons, I just say that Anette is really good here, the pinnacle of her career with Nightwish (and I recall Tuomas also noting her efforts for this video).

    I think this song suits Anette perfectly. There will always be die-hard fans for each of the 3 singers but I never cease to be impressed by Tuomas' ability to write songs that seem to suit the relevanr singer perfectly! I honestly can't imagine Tarja or Floor singing this song any better than Anette does (and I prefer the style of those 2)...
    All 3 are great singers but, as they have different styles, it's inevitable that the band's style as a whole will change to suit. I remain a big fan and embrace their changes across each album. Keep rocking.

      @missdee9404 8 лет назад +47

      +thecassman I'm going to take a minute to appreciate your comment, because I think too many fans focus too much on the female vocalists of the band. My personal preference is still Tarja, then Floor, and lastly Anette. It actually took me a few tries to get on the Anette bandwagon, but it's mostly because the "Nightwish" sound had changed, and it threw me off. That being said, it only made me respect Tuomas all the more because he, to your point, is skilled to the point that he adapted the bands sound to perfectly match the vocal style of every female vocalist they've had. Bravo Tuomas. You, my friend, ARE Nightwish.

      Nah, after listening to various live versions and this, Floor adds a very fitting grit to some notes that ultimately make her voice fit WAAAY better, imo of course. The 3 singers have their own Flavor I guess, and we have our preferred styles. Floor is the best among the 3 for me not because of skill but because of how much she tries to play with her voice and change it. The other singers always seemed to play it safe, Floor took risks.

    Lyrics:
    'Twas the night before
    When all through the world,
    No words, no dreams
    Then one day,
    A writer by a fire
    Imagined all of Gaia
    Took a journey into a child-man's heart...
    A painter on the shore
    Imagined all the world
    Within a snowflake on his palm
    Unframed by poetry
    A canvas of awe
    Planet Earth falling back into the stars
    I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
    A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
    Every chimney, every moonlit sight
    I am the story that will read you real,
    Every memory that you hold dear
    I am the journey,
    I am the destination,
    I am the home
    The tale that reads you
    A way to taste the night,
    The elusive high
    Follow the madness,
    Alice you know once did
    Imaginarium, a dream emporium!
    Caress the tales
    And they will dream you real
    A storyteller's game,
    Lips that intoxicate
    The core of all life
    Is a limitless chest of tales...
    I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
    A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
    Every chimney, every moonlit sight
    I am the story that will read you real,
    Every memory that you hold dear
    I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    Searching heavens for another Earth
    I am the voice of Never, Never Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
    A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
    Every chimney, every moonlit sight
    I am the story that will read you real,
    Every memory that you hold dear

      I agree. Bashing Anette seems to be an activity that people who love Floor and Tarja (no offense to those people) are doing often. They don't understand that there are different voice types and styles of singing. Anette's voice happens to be lighter than Tarja's or Floor's and it doesn't make her voice weak, it's just different. I personally love Anette's voice the most out of the Nightwish singers, simply because with her, the vocals aren't in the absolute center, so the band can shine as whole.

      This is actually true by sales numbers. In fact if it were not for Dark Passion Play I highly doubt we would even know the name Nightwish today. In 2006 the entire world hated that man and that band and entire tours were cancelled and Halopainen sat in the every back of a room because he was terrified of all the death threats. I was personally introduced to them in 2008 when they made a surprise cameo appearance at PPUSA. As it turned out everything they did almost that year was a surprise and again due to all the death threats.
      In fact at the time I met them they were on the fringe and about to break up. I was being used in those days as a consultant and it was arranged for me to be there and again later for an appearance at another Atlanta venue for my critical notation and advice. BUT I LOVED ANETTE OLZON and blogged everywhere what a peach of a woman she was and impossible to dislike. It started a movement of people actually giving her a chance and in the end Dark Passion Play became the single best selling NW album of all time with Imaginarium being 2nd.
      Its of note that in 2018 when Olzon debuted with THE DARK ELEMENT that albums sales were higher than anything Nightwish had produced since Imaginarium. This genre is about genuine people and Anette Olzon is a genuine person. Even with Alyson Avenue that came through. To this day I am very proud that I had some small part in her getting that chance. You might have had to actually sat down directly across from her and eaten dinner together while talking about everything and sensing who she actually was to understand. Tarja can be cold and standoffish. Floor has this public face (all smiles) and this BITCH FACE she wears for most everyone else. (Sorry but its how she is). Maybe its the stress and pressure and ongoing BS of this business, but frankly if I was stuck on a desert island and it had to be with one of them...ANETTE WINS HANDS DOWN.

    Ojalá Anette hubiera continuado trabajando junto con la banda, lástima que existieron diferencias y pues mejor cada quien siguió su camino (lo bueno es que le va muy bien con Dark Element)

      Man, it's crazy reading this. For me this song feels rather new, I remember it like yesterday when I first heard it when Imaginaerum was about to come out. It doesn't feel like it has been more than two years since this song came out and yet it's been a whole 9. And I am in my 20s now so It's not like I have known about NW for decades. Still, it's crazy how time flies but what's similar between you and me is the nostalgia that this song brings. I remember how nice it felt hearing it for the first time, this was the first new song from NW that I have ever heard since I started listening to them and it was a really magical experience that I still remember, 9 years later. I wish you all the best, keep rockin'!

      truebinx I like such a beautiful contrast - heavy music + soft feminine voice ...... I dont think about it as a "pop music" ... it rather brings my imagination to the dark middle ages with beautiful queens and princesses ... I think thats why they ve choosen Anette (cuz she didnt appear in the band out of blue of course) she was choosed because of this contrast.... this is an artistic metal... not stereotypical.... and they are and were experimenting..... they brought out of the Anette the best version of herself.... they made a brand new sound as a whole band having her in the ban.... However stereotypical metal fans didn get that.... so now, they introduced a more masculine and metalish woman which has a soft voice and can sing heavily too.... so they made a nice compromise within the band and the fans :) Floor is such a compromise...-shes got anything from everything. but she cant be completely Tarja, or completely Anette..... they were such a contrasting but both amazing in their own way....

Onstage performance is not just about singing, its about THEATER, and drama, and personality....OMG Anette totally nailed all that.

I've been recently giving other post-Tarja albums a much overdue (I'm ashamed to say I haven't listened to Nightwish much since Tarja left) and deserved chance, especially the new one with Floor, and I just know I'll find ALL of them fascinating.
    Every Era of Nightwish is really something. It's like getting over a nasty breakup and for the first time in a long while, finding love again and giving it another chance. xD It's now hard to say who the best thing that happened to Nightwish was. But if I had to choose one, it would be Tuomas and his creations.

    What I love the most about Nightwish is that their songs are always open to infinite interpretations.
    While growing up, this song has changed its meaning matching my own journey. I was 14 when it came out and it felt like this parallel universe where wonderful stories we got told when we were kids, hid something dark, equally magical but touching the veil of our own fears.
    Today I'm 26, and this song feels like a space where our monsters, our shadows and ghouls can speak out loud, telling us there's something important to learn from them. Our shadow is our journey and our destination. It's a voice we keep silencing because we can't afford to let our egos know that we're all imperfect. Yet, that's the magic behind imperfections. When we notice our monsters, when we humbly accept their presence, we get a precious message about ourselves and we can continue our journey to become our own light.

      rorevel I keep on going back and forth listening to both versions. It's just with this one they keep having to double track Annette's voice to accent it, while Floor can accent it by changing tone. Also in Floor's version, Floor can sing the part at 2:55 which Annette can't. Not to say Annette is bad, which is totally untrue. It's just that Nightwish has evolved to a point where it needs more vocal range and Annette is better served singing pop music.

    I am so angry and pissed that they kicked out Annette, she is such a great and heartful singer!
    Floor Jansen is good, but the magic and life of the songs with Annette Olzon is unreached.

    There's something in this song. Lyrically, emotionally, I don't know.
    But it kicks me right in the gut, and throws right into my face that somewhere in my 37 years, I lost my sense of wonder........ And I don't know how to get it back

      It would be awesome but Anette and Tarja have no more interest to be in Tuomas'es presence!

    2022: well after all these years I guess that the band and many listeners have been looking down on Anette from their royalty hights but the facts are that she perfectly sang two most successful and the best CDs. She's been amazing and she still is. I m very sorry she felt neglected and betrayed. Howsoever, misogyny is all around us. Still no one would sing this better. It passed the justice of times.

      Misogyny? The other two singers that people fight over as being better than Anette are women. There’s not really much of an argument for misogyny; people are just assholes.

      Anette is fantastic though.

      @@willieearles3151 there were a lot of mistogyny towards Anette and it's been very well documented. Tarja's protected by her wealthy and powerful husband, Floor is their last option for good famale vocal which matches with NW music and also she had to plan her pregnancy due to NW tours and that is misogyny. I mean when your band mates call you fat while your're pregnant..Howsoever, I wrote what I wrote, that's my opinion. Not here for any further commens.
      Anette, you are singing Goddess if you read this 🤘💙♾

    Annett's own songs are really very nice. And it has also for a great voice. Of course, one must not be measured by Tarja's songs it.
