In my humble opinion Anette is the best singer of nightwish...she is not in her zone, its not her style...but she did the best she could.. and it was beautiul.
wow that was really beautiful, IMO Anette did an awesome job with that song, even though finnish is an really hard language for foreigners to pronounce. 10+
well, shes swedish so she pronounces "u" like "y". stop complaining. she has a rly beautiful voice and im kinda confused about the fact that this video got so many dislikes. well done Anette! Finnish is one of the hardes languages in the world so she rly deserves a thumb up.
exactelly bro! i´m learning this stunning language and i know how hard it is! even with a finnish friend helping me it´s soooo complicated start saying some phrases and make myself understandable.
ive always found this so lovely. Anette performing my 2 fave nightwish songs in the rain. and yeah she pronounces some stuff wrong i think but who cares, its about the emotion.
For me (I'm from Finland) it's fantastic she's singing a Finnish song - in Finnish! :) I'm sure you don't find it insulting that Finns sing in English?? :)
She's getting better a lot and very fast... I have to admit it: In 2007, all the people thought that Nightwish was lost because Annette had to shout a lot to be able to hit the high notes... But now, in 2009 she had impressed to a lot of people! She is able to sing Ever Dream without shout, Ghost Love Score (very sweet) and other many songs...
@FokTop, no, she was not lip-syncing, I don't know whether others see that audio and picture don't sync here? I notice sometimes that on my laptop it seems to be "wrong" on many videos, though it looks normal on other pc, that's because of the screen card I guess, or whatever... :D But Anette sings live here!
As you have a right to tell your opinion, negative or positive, about Anette, so do all the others have their right to say their opinion about those two singers. Tarja is a professional singer and so is Anette. We all have our own taste.
I am very impressed. It's very difficult to speak in a language that is not your mother tongue; let alone sing. She definately deserves some respect. She sings it beautifully. Well done Anette.
Yeah, you're so right! ;D I'm a Finn who lives in Norway, and I know about the difficulties in pronouncing Finnish when you're Scandinavian... it's not so easy! Anette did an excellent job here also when it comes to lyrics! :))
Anette suoriutui tästä kappaleesta mielestäni yllättävän hyvin. En olisi odottanut hänen ihan ensimmäisenä tätä kappaletta esittävän. Kaiken kaikkiaan hieno suoritus! En muuten malta odottaa uutta Nightwish-albumia!! Luvassa on todennäköisesti jotain aivan mahtavaa.
I fully agree with you. I mean, Tarja has got a really nice voice but I can't help thinking that there's something missing today, something emotionally. Something that Anette has, especially live.
Anette sounds amazing here. ni andra är nog finnar och hajar inte hur jävla svårt det kan vara att sjunga på finska om man är svensk och aldrig lärt sig språket som liten.
So am I. I think many Tarja fans forget that she was LEAVING ANYWAY. The boys practically did them all a favour & ended it before Nightwish died. It wasn't the best way to fire her but it had to be done for Nightwish to live again. For those of you who say she should go back to NW, GROW THE FUCK UP! Please! She was going to leave if her OWN FREE WILL anyway. She will NEVER go back to Nightwish, especially now that she has her solo career. Be thankful we still have both & live with it already.
Well, big credits to Anette for challenging this song! But still tough, I think, she was struggling a lot while performing it. Funny moments near the end of the song, how the First Violin of the orchestra looked like she's really scared, while Anette was attacking the heights during "Oman taivaan tänne loin...".
so everyone who dislikes this song does so because she cannot pronounce the words in Finnish...umm SO WHAT?? im american and i never complained about tarja's accent when she sang Nightwish songs. she sings this song beautiful, to me that's all that matters in a performance and she does exactly that.
Surprised at how much I liked this! I always thought these Finnish melodies were untouchable but she did.. ok. Her voice is loooovely I just wish she stopped giving other’s songs her little quirks where they don’t need them, for example 1:43 and 2:50
Her voice is very sweet and those who criticize her are intolerant because she actually sings it very well in my opinion, but I'm not sure about the pronunciation.
@Acryingtear PS: Don't come up with the question "How old are you". I wouldn't be surprised if I'm older than you. And it's kindergarten, not kindergarden... Another thing: Anette joined Nightwish in 2007, this video was shot in 2009. So she was among Finns since 2 years back then, not 2 months.
Anette: Perfect Tarja: Epic its just different style....its still perfect Tuomas @ "The Poet n' the Pendulum" says: "One perfect verse and its still the SAME old song"..... SAME GOES HERE!,,, GO ANETTE! I love both of them!...
Um, yes she does understand what's she singing about. She's been learning Finnish for a few years now {since joining Nightwish} and has said on Made in Hong Kong, "I understand almost everything people say. And I'm not kidding. I understand everything the boys say. It's only when they talk very fast that I can't put the sentences together." So, I'm sure she understands Kuolema. Besides that, if she needed a translation, she can always google it xP
@ZamolxisGebeleizis I don't call singers/persons sacred. There's only one singer that I could call "sacred" because I love his voice. His name is Eric Fish and he's the singer of Subway to Sally, a medieval rock/metal band (my favourite band!). He has an amazing, unusual and unique voice. It's very bright, raspy and also strong. Technically he's nothing really special but the reason why I love his voice so much is that he's the most emotional singer I've ever heard. Oh, and he sings German.
I'm surprised by all the dislikes. I think this song has much more feeling, much more heart and soul, with Anette as the singer. Tarja is a wonderful singer in the technical sense, but singing this song, she always sounded...bored. From Century Child onward, she has sounded emotionless and bored, especially in live concerts. Anette has such a beauty, such an inner goodness, that radiates off of her whenever she sings or smiles.
Well done to her for attempting to sing this song. Finnish isen't the easiest language to speak, let alone sing, if you're not a native speaker. Her voice sounds lovely...sounds really different aswell...??..but in a good way. hmm. I'm making so sense :P Thanks for uploading this!
I really have to say she did her best, didn't expect her voice suits that song to that extent. And I also find her Finnish good enough not to hurt my ears;)
This is the one song I never expected her to sing ... and a song I wish I didn't ever hear her sing. It is NOT a pop song, however with Anette it sounds like it wants to be one ...
I like this song when Anette sings it. She has a beautiful and gentle voice. You can hear from her accent that she's not Finnish but i don't mind at all. It sounds more interesting this way.
Escuchar estos temas con su voz es como un puñal para mi, pero no puedo negar que su voz esta mejorando y dandole nuevos toques a los temas.... Sentimientos encontrados...
I think this sounds amazing and it's really hard for me to say if tarja or anette sings it best but ppl stop complaining about her finnish it's really not an easy language but it's really beautiful =)
Wasn't talking about her talent and/or Career. Was a simple asthetics opinion. And thats all it was, champ, just an opinion. Btw, Type " Japunga" into that search box up there if you're interested in my music. This is a personal account, I can send you a PM from the bands account in the morning if you like :P
I can tell you as a finn, that she sings this very well. some words she pronounces better than Tarja, seriously. after all this isn't easy language to learn and anette did great job in this one. of course there's anette's accent, but it doesn't matter. only at 0:14 - 0:17 I really can't hear the correct lyrics, but I forgive her :)
Lo siento Tarja pero esta vez quedaste en 2° lugar... Me emocione con esta version! No voy a responder comentarios al que no le guste mi opinion que se aguante las lagrimas
Finns are not used to hear Finnish song by foreigners. And it's a difficult language. I actually thing she does it pretty well, I expected the worst when I saw this on YT titled with "Anette sings Kuolema tekee taitelijan" Not bad. Anette is a brave woman, I've to admit.
This is actually quite nice, for a swede to sing finnish.. sometimes the accent sounds a bit funny with a pair of finnish ears, but generally, she did well. -Ville/LS
@IvanTsarina Example from 2.56... injures my ears...in comparison Tarja's voice all along is like this: this is real and total feeling... and TOTAL tallent... this song is from Tarja's heart.
Ok, she doesn't do it bad, she is doing a good version, her voice sounds good, the pronunciation.... Ican't judge it because I don't speak finnish, but she doesn't sound like Tarja (I mean because of the pronunciation, not the singing style which is completly diferent, of course). My favorite is Tarja of course, but I liked Anette here, and good because she tried to sing in finnish.
Onpa kyllä hyvänlaatuinen kuvatallenne. Ja hyvin Ande vetää, mutta yllättävän huonoa on toi ääntäminen. On tainnut Anette laistaa suomen kielen opiskeluissaan. Kiitos näistä!
I don't use google translate to translate into finnish of course, but my boyfriend does, and also at work I see how people often try it. Google doesn't understand so much of cases and suffixes like Suomi-Suomeen-Suomessa etc. so it's mostly funny. :)
Regardless of the language, this was a very good performance by Anette. She did her best with the higher notes and I'm glad that she did stylize the song. Her voice sounds better here than on her first studio album. On the other hand, I don't she's ready to try Swanheart...
She should be one of the models for being such a devoted singer. I mean, who would want to learn to sing foreign sings in original language?? This proves that she tried really hard, and congratulations for annette, as there are less 'Tarjaholics' to mock every single actions she take. In fact, it seems even the oldest of the Nightwish fans accept you as new Nightwish singer =)))
i think that this is very good.... its like a different version... not but. i like it. i preffer the original but this is one is also really really good.
@lpgurlnj Well she's a soprano, and she has got her own singing 'genre', this song is not her type, that doesn't mean she's a bad singer, oh no, she'll break the silence in IMAGINERUM
@emil9412 Yes, she has an opera voice. But she is not an opera singer. There are some singers that were trained due to academic standarts of singing but found themselves in different genres such as rock, classical crossover and others.
I don't know Finnish but I definitely must said that you're a good listener since you're accepting a new singer and of course recognizing her mistakes but still remembering it's not her language; I mean, people shall recognize hard work, after all, Finnish is say to be the most difficult language to learn on the World =)
@Mefis3 The easiest bit of the Finnish lang is the writing system, it's the most phonetic writing system I've even come across. The only hard bit about pronouncing it is the combinations of letters that Finns like to use...
I had the privilege of seeing her live when she was still with Nightwish. I never understood the hate, and I was a big Tarja fan.
I never really realized how beautiful her voice is.
Man, Nightwish fans just suck for treating this poor woman like crap.
I never understood the hate, she is awesome and she sung on the best songs of nightwish
@@justus899 absolutely agreed on that!
In my humble opinion Anette is the best singer of nightwish...she is not in her zone, its not her style...but she did the best she could.. and it was beautiul.
wow that was really beautiful, IMO Anette did an awesome job with that song, even though finnish is an really hard language for foreigners to pronounce. 10+

exactelly bro! i´m learning this stunning language and i know how hard it is! even with a finnish friend helping me it´s soooo complicated start saying some phrases and make myself understandable.
I like Anettes version too - very beautiful voice!
ANETTE RULES. I love her, she sang it beautifully, she's very charismatic, sunny person, great singer with angelic voice. Perfect.
ive always found this so lovely. Anette performing my 2 fave nightwish songs in the rain. and yeah she pronounces some stuff wrong i think but who cares, its about the emotion.
Sweet and powerful, that's Anette.
For me (I'm from Finland) it's fantastic she's singing a Finnish song - in Finnish! :)
I'm sure you don't find it insulting that Finns sing in English?? :)
She's getting better a lot and very fast...
I have to admit it: In 2007, all the people thought that Nightwish was lost because Annette had to shout a lot to be able to hit the high notes...
But now, in 2009 she had impressed to a lot of people!
She is able to sing Ever Dream without shout, Ghost Love Score (very sweet) and other many songs...
@FokTop, no, she was not lip-syncing, I don't know whether others see that audio and picture don't sync here? I notice sometimes that on my laptop it seems to be "wrong" on many videos, though it looks normal on other pc, that's because of the screen card I guess, or whatever... :D But Anette sings live here!
Wow. This is astonishing. ❤️🔥
2;21 Even the sky started crying because of the beauty of this eternal song!
Wooooww!!!
great performance! Fantastic voice work.
Support Anette!
She is amazing. Best NW vocalist!
I was there and it was so beautiful...
And when she sang Meadows of Heaven... I got tears in my eyes...
As you have a right to tell your opinion, negative or positive, about Anette, so do all the others have their right to say their opinion about those two singers. Tarja is a professional singer and so is Anette. We all have our own taste.
I am very impressed. It's very difficult to speak in a language that is not your mother tongue; let alone sing. She definately deserves some respect.
She sings it beautifully. Well done Anette.
It was as beautiful as the Tarja version!!! Anette Is AMAZING!!! ♥️♥️🔥🔥🤘🤘
This sounds so good. Ppl talking she cant sing live? Fucking do that then
i cant comment on how good her finnish is but it sounds gorgeous to me. her voice is so good live god damn...
Omg, I can't stop listening this.. So beautiful song and voice..
Happy birthday, Anette! :D
Yeah, you're so right! ;D I'm a Finn who lives in Norway, and I know about the difficulties in pronouncing Finnish when you're Scandinavian... it's not so easy! Anette did an excellent job here also when it comes to lyrics! :))
I Love Anette's versions... she is amazing and I don't care what people say!!!
That's great! I like it :) Keep it up, Anette!
Anette suoriutui tästä kappaleesta mielestäni yllättävän hyvin. En olisi odottanut hänen ihan ensimmäisenä tätä kappaletta esittävän. Kaiken kaikkiaan hieno suoritus!

sorry for my bad english :D
This song is too difficult for her, but she is brave enough to perfom it 4people
Surprised at how much I liked this! I always thought these Finnish melodies were untouchable but she did.. ok. Her voice is loooovely I just wish she stopped giving other’s songs her little quirks where they don’t need them, for example 1:43 and 2:50

Anette: Perfect

its just different style....its still perfect
Tuomas @ "The Poet n' the Pendulum" says: "One perfect verse and its still the SAME old song"..... SAME GOES HERE!,,, GO ANETTE!
I love both of them!...
It makes me cry... Really... Annette, killed this song. It's sad.
I Love Anette's versions
Its amazing. Dear Anette, you are the best NW singer. Serbia likes you.
Um, yes she does understand what's she singing about. She's been learning Finnish for a few years now {since joining Nightwish} and has said on Made in Hong Kong, "I understand almost everything people say. And I'm not kidding. I understand everything the boys say. It's only when they talk very fast that I can't put the sentences together." So, I'm sure she understands Kuolema.

I like both versions a lot. Tarja's and Anette's.
Both different, both awesome :)

Rain and this song makes really nice combination!

Sublime 🥰🥰🥰
how can anyone seriously say this is a bad performance? she is awesome.

finnish is a way hard language for the most of foreigners to spell , im from finland and i can tell she's singing this very well !
Wow! She pronounce finnish almost perfectly and has also beautiful voice.
Wasn't talking about her talent and/or Career. Was a simple asthetics opinion. And thats all it was, champ, just an opinion.
Btw, Type " Japunga" into that search box up there if you're interested in my music. This is a personal account, I can send you a PM from the bands account in the morning if you like :P

Yes, she only did two songs... There were so many others performing. :)
Onpa kyllä hyvänlaatuinen kuvatallenne. Ja hyvin Ande vetää, mutta yllättävän huonoa on toi ääntäminen. On tainnut Anette laistaa suomen kielen opiskeluissaan.
Kiitos näistä!
she is rocking this. just beautiful!
Nightwish "The Band" thought she was AWESOME. They never would have had her sing for them if they didn't.
beautiful!!!!!! ♥
I don't use google translate to translate into finnish of course, but my boyfriend does, and also at work I see how people often try it. Google doesn't understand so much of cases and suffixes like Suomi-Suomeen-Suomessa etc. so it's mostly funny. :)
@Subspindle I agree. I for one would have never believed she could sing this song this well. After all finnish is not an easy language to learn.
Anette has charisma!!I love her!
Regardless of the language, this was a very good performance by Anette. She did her best with the higher notes and I'm glad that she did stylize the song. Her voice sounds better here than on her first studio album. On the other hand, I don't she's ready to try Swanheart...
I´m very impressed since this isn´t her language or a song written for her. :')
To all the people complaining about Anette's Finnish pronunciation...have you heard Tarja sing in English?
she speaks it better than a native
+1
Yes and she's bad at English too... Her Spanish i'accent is great but sounds "Finnish" when speaking English 😅
Respect! I'd sound much dumber singing in Swedish and I have at least lived there for 6+ years :)
She should be one of the models for being such a devoted singer.
I mean, who would want to learn to sing foreign sings in original language??
This proves that she tried really hard, and congratulations for annette, as there are less 'Tarjaholics' to mock every single actions she take. In fact, it seems even the oldest of the Nightwish fans accept you as new Nightwish singer =)))
i think that this is very good.... its like a different version... not but. i like it. i preffer the original but this is one is also really really good.
it is good i love it
Simply beautiful. Thank you! I love the emotion Anette brings out of Tuomas' masterpieces!!!!
Holy Crap! and with a live orchestra. Sweet. Anette's voice used to crack in the begining (nerves probably). But she continues to improve.
@lpgurlnj Well she's a soprano, and she has got her own singing 'genre', this song is not her type, that doesn't mean she's a bad singer, oh no, she'll break the silence in IMAGINERUM
@emil9412 Yes, she has an opera voice. But she is not an opera singer. There are some singers that were trained due to academic standarts of singing but found themselves in different genres such as rock, classical crossover and others.

@endofhope75 Just proves how much people loved Tarja.
Oh my god... Brought tears to my eyes, she sung this song awesome! Go Anette, you're doing great!:)
@Mefis3 The easiest bit of the Finnish lang is the writing system, it's the most phonetic writing system I've even come across. The only hard bit about pronouncing it is the combinations of letters that Finns like to use...
