I think Timo still has this voice somewhere inside him. It's not about age or confidence; it's simply about having energy. Endless touring year after year is like trying to be a machine and the human body cannot cope with that stress long-term. Preserve your energy and you can recover any notes you apparently lost in your burnout years. Listen to Roy Khan. He 'lost' his voice in a tiny period of 2000-2005/6. He stated burnout as the source - nothing more. His voice will return with a good rest :) x
Those were the tracks that ruined his voice. It is the jo b of the singer to say to something like this, and the songwriter taking more respect and responsibility for a singer's health, Mr. Tolkki.
I think the main thing why his vocals sound a bit off in this one is the mixing of them imo. The very high notes (1:55 for example) does not cut through the mix, but his "normal" range does. The EQing makes his head voice/tenor voice sound "annoying". He's also out of breath, uses way too much force to get through it, some notes are a bit off, otherwise he just sounds like that. I think it's very impressive and sounds amazing.

I disagree but I think you care more than me about this so I won't worry about replying in more detail unless you're really interested.
I hope God listens to you. Although I think it is currently (2017) impossible.
Do not be cruel, the guy forces his voice too much. It was a hard record for him. I appreciate that he faced singing those 'Elements' songs lived.

2:24 Wow! It can be heard that he has almost no more voice 😅 (No bad pun on the title of the song)

Gore
I'm listening with baited breath to see if Timo can do it...............
Ouch, my ears are bleeding. The vocals are unbelievably horrendous...
Is very hard to sing
