I'm pretty sure that Tarja, especially, has the right to sing any Nightwish song wherever and whenever she wants to. She was the original lead singer and she was the one who originally recorded vocals for this song. Admittedly her band sounds nothing like Nightwish, but i don't think that's important in this case. It's really cool that she actually wans to sing songs from the band that fired her. That just shows that music is much more important than anything else. Nightwish is an incredible band and Tuomas is a phenomenal songwriter. And i will keep supporting Nightwish throughout their career no matter what.
The way Tarja just hits those notes with such precision really is something special. And the notes she knows she's not going to hit she just improvises with another note. Yet, I still find myself liking the Floor version better. Really looking forward to the new album.
OMG! I love this song soooo much!!! I could cry! I hope it is not too painful for her to sing the old Nightwish songs. But I agree, that she has the right to sing them. Anywhere and over and over again!
I'm glad to see I ain't the only one that realised this. classical singing does affect pronunciation. Funny thing is that most people who complain about her accent and pronunciation are non-Native speakers. I have friends from Canada and even the UK that never complained about it and actually like her a lot.
Have you Ever heard the song and Lyrics "I feel Immortal"? It seems that the only thing you know about Tarja are some song titles, because "I feel Immortal" talks about Tarja's fears, her feeling of life being so small against the time that never stops passing... and she says that only in her dreams she feels immortal (because the reality is quite the opposite). What Lies Beneath was the first album tottaly under Tarja's control, and it is a Great work with humble and sensitive lyrics!
ahora si nos entendemos mejor :) No esperaba menos de una mujer que gusta de la verdadera buena música. Sigamos apoyando como podamos a la música que amamos!
She's just strongly modifying a lot of the vowels she sings to suit her singing style. For example, Tarja sings the word "forever" more like "for-ee-ver", replacing the eh-vowel with the ee-vowel, which suits her classical style. "Eh" is a wide vowel, common in rock and pop. "Ee" on the other hand is a narrow vowel which is very common in opera. I hope this made sense to someone 😂
I heard Anette sing Nemo at Gibson back in January and now I've seen Tarja sing this. They're both great. I bought Imaginaerum when it came out and I will happily buy Tarja's new CD when it comes out, too. Wish everyone could just stop arguing and just enjoy the great band and the great solo artist that we still have.
her accent is totally fine, its what makes her good. gives her voice a notable difference and makes it very good in opera and these kind of songs. i love her voice.
marisela olmos abreu I heard Annette first, as singer of Nightwish. (Picked them up only three years ago.) However, I am glad she is gone and the new singer did great at Waken in Germany. But it must have been something to see and hear Tarja live. She was the best of the three. Now I know why they are called Nightwish it was HER!!!!
I am from the Detroit area. This music gets no air play here. If I didn't search for it I would probably never have heard of Tarja or Nightwish. I am a guitarist so I search for music all over the world not just the same old stuff we hear on the radio here. I keep checking her website hoping someday I'll get a chance to see her perform. I love her accent also. Thanks for posting this.
She actually legally can't sing this song without Nightwish's permission. It's intellectual property. So, that leaves us with two conclusions: She's singing it illegally OR she's gained permission to sing this. Common sense says that given the rift between her and Nightwish, they wouldn't hesitate to take legal action if she sung this illegally. So that's not what's going on. That leaves the more logical conclusion: She and Nightwish have come to terms on a professional level and they gave her permission to sing this. Which they have. They won't likely ever reunite, but at least they put their differences aside.
+TheRisky9 That's absolutely, completely untrue. Do you think the Nightwish cover band in your town has done paperwork with Nightwish directly? The songs have been *published*. Which means that, to perform a Nightwish song, *any* Nightwish song, or record it, you *simply* have to fill the appropriate form and give a portion of the resulting income to the competent collection society (GEMA in Germany, SIAE in Italy, etc...). Even if Holopainen hates your guts, he can't prevent you from playing his songs. What he *can* do is prevent you from creating derivative works (which is exactly how Nyman was able to prevent Nightwish from covering his work, since they added *lyrics* to an instrumental).
You're a fucking dipshit, anyone can perform any song they want, they just can't bill themselves as the writer or original band. Tarja doesn't claim NW, she also covers muse, alice Cooper, etta james, metallica, slipknot...guess its all illegal lmao
I don't like, when she sing NW songs now.. Tuomas write this music and lyrics. This is his feelings. Unnaturally. But i love her voice and new songs so much..)
Because explaining to you something so awesome as Tarja's voice and proving you wrong is just a waste of energy, I will say this. Why don't you go listen to Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez and the stupid gossip around them and and and leave this amazing music alone? P.S. I guess something isn't great if it doesn't have at least a few haters, now is it?
Hater? Just because i said that? Are you serious? I didn't say that her voice isn't amazing i just said that she can sing very high pitch witch is amazing but she doesn't have it in low pitch songs! Learn what a hater means (and in this case its you) and you don't need to explain me something that i already know.
Kathrine Sixx She does actually! She has hit a few F3's in her songs. For any soprano, that's the definition of low. But since those aren't really comfortable for her to sing in, like it is her upper range, she choses to sing mostly up there.
Ten hlas je nezabudnuteľný, a bubeník je poriadny divoch. Je to skvelééé Her voice is memorable, amazing and drummer is really big wild man :-) It is absollutely amazing...
I think her accent adds style when she sings in english. It makes her voice recognizable when you hear her singing. Because of her accent, when you hear her sing you know right away who it is. I like her accent.
If you were to do the research on both stories you would know that Tarja was out of contact from the record label AND the BAND for 6+ months. Thomas had no other choice! And she was NEVER at rehearsal. That is a KEY component for being in a band!
El vacío q dejó esta Mujer en aquella banda. Anette ni nadie podrá ocupar ya ese lugar ; Al oir a la gran Tarja cantando estas canciones históricas uno se pone a pensar q sigue siendo la mejor Hoy y Siempre.
Too bad for you guys that Tarja and her husband didn't fall on their faces when they were dismissed from the Nightwish. They're much happier these days and that is all that matters. Good luck to those guys and I hope they have what they wished for. I'm still loving Tarja and her musical career. Wish her all the best and I hope she never stops singing for us, her fans. Thanks Tarja.

Nightwish is an incredible band and Tuomas is a phenomenal songwriter. And i will keep supporting Nightwish throughout their career no matter what.
Stefy xxx The idea is to "not sound like Nightwish" That's why the band doesn't try to.
Brown February I agree. Even if they did, that definitely wouldn't matter.
Stefy xxx they sound much better, top musicians.
+Stefy xxx They can't because this band has no Tuomas :)
Rangel Bittencourt ...or Marco and Empu and Jukka and Troy now.
This woman is the queen! She has an amazing voice
The way Tarja just hits those notes with such precision really is something special. And the notes she knows she's not going to hit she just improvises with another note. Yet, I still find myself liking the Floor version better. Really looking forward to the new album.
Cause Floor hits all the notes... The bridge, Tarja chickened out on the last high note.
I LOVE Tarja's musicians
OMG! I love this song soooo much!!! I could cry! I hope it is not too painful for her to sing the old Nightwish songs. But I agree, that she has the right to sing them. Anywhere and over and over again!
1:22 her low range increased so great!! i love that sound
+1000 у меня чуть сердце не остановилось на этом моменте.
Tarja thanks !! you're the best!!
..very beautiful and excellent song!!!Loyal fan from the Czech Republic
Tarja♥!!

Una de mis voces preferidas del rock lirico . Calidad pura.
Damn, this voice is not human. So precise voice, beautifull, great.
Тарья как всегда, на высоте. Отдельный респект барабанщику!
It's funny because this is somehow a cover... but she was in the original one, as well
That's because they aren't using backing tracks like nightwish use
Have you Ever heard the song and Lyrics "I feel Immortal"?
It seems that the only thing you know about Tarja are some song titles, because "I feel Immortal" talks about Tarja's fears, her feeling of life being so small against the time that never stops passing... and she says that only in her dreams she feels immortal (because the reality is quite the opposite).

Majestic as always...She´s still the goddess.
Amazing!! The queen tarja turunen!! :)
jóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóó tak tomuhle říkam pořádnej a nádhernej hlas :) prostě jedinečnost :)
Pure Masterpiece !!!
ahora si nos entendemos mejor :) No esperaba menos de una mujer que gusta de la verdadera buena música. Sigamos apoyando como podamos a la música que amamos!
She has the strangest accent. It is not particularly Finnish, it's just very strange.
She is speaking 'Tarjan' - simple as that ;)
Туомас - долбаный параноик!)))
Not pronouncing any word correctly at all? I
She's just strongly modifying a lot of the vowels she sings to suit her singing style. For example, Tarja sings the word "forever" more like "for-ee-ver", replacing the eh-vowel with the ee-vowel, which suits her classical style. "Eh" is a wide vowel, common in rock and pop. "Ee" on the other hand is a narrow vowel which is very common in opera. I hope this made sense to someone 😂
Tarja looking absolutely stunning as always.
красивоо

I bought Imaginaerum when it came out and I will happily buy Tarja's new CD when it comes out, too.

where did she get these bad musicians?
her accent is totally fine, its what makes her good. gives her voice a notable difference and makes it very good in opera and these kind of songs. i love her voice.
I love her voice in any situation, and Annete's voice is pathetic in lives , I prefer my Tarja *_*
Annete is dreadful as a metal singer...
Galion Silevion Anette*
marisela olmos abreu I heard Annette first, as singer of Nightwish. (Picked them up only three years ago.) However, I am glad she is gone and the new singer did great at Waken in Germany. But it must have been something to see and hear Tarja live. She was the best of the three. Now I know why they are called Nightwish it was HER!!!!
maurice fauteux I am in your same situation and I agree 100% with you.
Galion Silevion Too bad I missed the Tarja era. At least we all have RUclips videos to look back. We live in a great world. Well, most of us.
I call this music fantasy rock opera... So beautiful and the best of both rock and opera!
Hate the drumming... Amazing other wise.
yeah, i hear you...the guy who miked that drumset should start searching for another job...and the guy who did the soundtests should do the same.
I am from the Detroit area. This music gets no air play here. If I didn't search for it I would probably never have heard of Tarja or Nightwish.

+TheRisky9 i doubt NW would be petty enough to do that, I think they've grown more mellow. and besides, it's just bad publicity.
Exactly.
+TheRisky9 That's absolutely, completely untrue. Do you think the
Nightwish cover band in your town has done paperwork with Nightwish
directly?
The songs have been *published*.

you make me laugh TheRisky9 hahahhaha
You're a fucking dipshit, anyone can perform any song they want, they just can't bill themselves as the writer or original band. Tarja doesn't claim NW, she also covers muse, alice Cooper, etta james, metallica, slipknot...guess its all illegal lmao
Tarja, the best, ever and ever!
Tuomas is better in the keyboard ..
Beautiful, Angelic, Talented. That is Tarja. My idol.
I don't like, when she sing NW songs now.. Tuomas write this music and lyrics. This is his feelings. Unnaturally. But i love her voice and new songs so much..)
i love all the artist that brings joy to us all
Why she sings NW songs? She is awful is not the same! And her voice is terrible! This belongs to Toumas and Nightwish
Gisselle Lopez she sang them you clever boy. she is the original voice of these songs.
No one was ever better than Tarja!!!
she can only sing very high pitch, nothing more
Because explaining to you something so awesome as Tarja's voice and proving you wrong is just a waste of energy, I will say this. Why don't you go listen to Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez and the stupid gossip around them and and and leave this amazing music alone?

She is a great performer .
Floor owns her anytime
Tarja Sounds completely different on studio and live. They did a lot editing to make her sound good on the album. Floor sounds way more natural live.
Truth HAHAHAHAHAHA! Joke of the century!
Truth Who cares who owns who? Music is soul and emotion, not a contest about who's best..
Get yo shit together, Mr. contest- man.
*****
Good point, aside from the fact that she's not.
Toveri Juri Keep trying, child ;)
luv that tarja is still rockin it.
Her vocals have never had so much tone and emphasise on thins song before, not to mention the last note was beautiful!
I wish Tarja was bringing her final tour to the UK. The setlist looks amazing and this is a fabulous recording.
one of the best videos I ever saw from Tarja - fantastic woman !!!
Úžasná, skvelá, božská Tarja...
Wau, vidieť a počuť ju naživo, môj sen.
It's so great to see someone having fun unconditionally.
linda d+ e mto talentosa tarja turunen serei seu eterno fã
love this woman's voice,she rocks
Výborně zpívá
the 1st performer of a song is always the best one... The band may change but the voice goes on alone
Truer words have never been spoken!
Ten hlas je nezabudnuteľný, a bubeník je poriadny divoch. Je to skvelééé
Her voice is memorable, amazing and drummer is really big wild man :-) It is absollutely amazing...
I love her voice. She is so great in concert, and you can tell she just loves it. I wish I could see her in concert at some point.
Tarja no tiene comparación ni por voz ni por belleza le gana ninguna!

"DĚKUJI" ... i jedno slovíčko dokáže velmi potěšit.

If you were to do the research on both stories you would know that Tarja was out of contact from the record label AND the BAND for 6+ months. Thomas had no other choice! And she was NEVER at rehearsal. That is a KEY component for being in a band!

How much I love this woman !! By listening to her singing I can feel soooo good *-* .... Her voice is just amazing
I see a sadness in Tarja's face. Even when she smiles.

She's still got it!
I can listen to Tarja's voice for hours no end!!! :)))
She has the most beautiful eyes... WOW!

Tarja is originator and her voice suits the best on Nemo and Bless The Child.

Thumbs up If you want Tarja to sing "Slaying the dreamer" ... I want that song back :(
I love it
I love her energy!!!

Too bad for you guys that Tarja and her husband didn't fall on their faces when they were dismissed from the Nightwish. They're much happier these days and that is all that matters.
