How can people watch performances like this and still say Anette can't sing live? She absolutely can, when given material that fits her voice and was written for her!
For me I started in the Tarja era. But I gave Annette a chance and I like her time with nightwish. It took me awhile to get used to having Floor as the singer but the more live videos I watched with Floor I now enjoy having Floor as the singer.
Me too. I start with Amaranth song. Just then I discovered Tarja & Floor. I think Annette voice is sweet. I love all 3 of them. Each of them got their own song I like. Like Annette I love her sing The Crow The Dove The Swan. Tarja I love her sing most of the songs in her nightwish era. And for Floor, I really love Greatest Show on Earth.
I've listened & viewed songs like Romanticide, Story Time, and Last Ride of the Day, which both Annette and Floor have performed live with the band and I've got to tell you Lauren, the band performed all those songs much, much better with Floor Jansen.
+Don Ceballos and I agree, Floor has to be my favourite out of them all. But I think Anette is good too, maybe not AS good, but still good. I like her voice and the music they produced with her but then again that's just my opinion
Tuomas interview 2013 - when Floor as singer; Question ; Retrospectively, considering the fact that she had no lyrical singing capabilities, do you still think Anette was the right choice for Nightwish at the time? Tuomas ; Yes, I do. I’ve said this many times. When I listen to Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum, I don’t think there is another person who could have sung those songs better than her. I really, honestly think so, and the rest of the band does, as well. That was not the issue.
@@zingapore4007 No (as far as I am aware ), I think it came from the link below www.radiometal.com/article/nightiwsh-tuomas-holopainen-takes-stock-on-the-new-era,121892
What a disrespectful question to ask in the first place... I would have slapped the interviewer right in the face. "Journalists" always think they have a glimpse of knowledge while being the most ignorant brats.
A very disrespectful question indeed, and Tuomas couldn't really answer any other way without coming out as a dick. This being said, I swear Dark Passion Play was tailored for a singer such as Floor. Every song on there she performed (aside from maybe Amaranth), she breathes a new life and energy in. They'll never do it, but I wanna hear that album in full with Floor powering through it.
@@moira4707 Still, I think he wouldn't have praised her so much in his answer if he didnt really believe that. If it was just about not sounding like a dick, he could have answered something more general or less praising.
@@andypick7533 Ooh, that is a really good one. I really liked how the Anette-Marko harmonies sounded and Anette looking metal as well! Really cool, Thanks :D
I think The same ... clearly in dark passion play she was force to sing higher and higher... over her normal vocal range and about the old songs those that were written for soprano’s voice and opera style ... weren’t adapted properly for Anette’s voice ... but in imaginearium thinks changed a lot and at least for me it’s one the best Nightwish’s album
Anette's awesome. She's the reason I started listening to Nightwish I just recently saw Nightwish with Floor, and she was incredible but there are certain songs like "Sahara" and "Amaranth" and this song I prefer Anette's version. Floor did destroy on stage , she had the crowd in the palm of her hand.
I agree, I love floor with all my heart (and Tarja and Anette) but when I saw Nightwish live and they sung Sahara, it was good but I couldn't help but miss Anette
I started to listen to nightwish because of Tarja but I gave Anette and Floor a chance and I liked when Anette was the singer and I like having Floor as their current singer.
I can imagine if this whole concert would've been recorded properly, it would be so much better than Wacken 2013! ... but there is no record of these amazing Imaginareum concerts with Anette. I can see from the little that we have on the internet how amazing these shows were truly sad this is all that is left of them.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, there are no official live clips, because she sucks. Only studio versions where they could tweak and upgrade her voice.
Thank you very much Anette... Your voice and these new songs invited me on a journey of dreams... Everytime I hear one of those masterpieces in my mind I'm far far away... I wish you all the best for your future and let me hear something of you soon... don't wanna miss your voice!
i agree. all of the garbage given to her over the years. she was wonderful, whimsical. she was an awesome addition to nightwish. i hope she moves on to do her own stuff. she is amazing!
I admire the musicianship of the entire group. The writing ability of the songs to capitalize on the strengths of each of the members is what sets Nightwish way above it's contemporaries. Annette is a very talented lady who pulled off the vocals on a very difficult album with true professionalism.
Agreed. Annette's voice is so smooth and clean. Perfect for this album. When you listen to the song Imaginareum, you can hear the instruments and envision her singing the words.
Imaginaerum is one of their best albums, at however talented Floor is live, Anette will always sing her songs better. (Pity this album isn't on spotify D: )

@@andypick7533 That is a widely known fact. They had no issues with Anette, apart from fanboys always demanding more and more older songs in the set lists, songs Anette could not possibly perform. And I think they wanted something different. An opening presented itself when Anette got sick (if you can call it that) and they took it. Or rather, I am pretty sure Tuomas took that, the rest of the band really had no issues with Anette at all. Empuu has stated numerous times these last 7 years they are still friends. The issues here is Tuomas, and since he is the de facto boss of the band, he decides. It was the same with Tarja. Empuu and Marko is still friends with her, and they have contact, but the problem was with Tuomas. He sort of hits a reset button every once in a while. Wonder how long it will last with Floor until he does it again.. lol.
@@michaelvedal1907 I highly suspect the move to Floor was not as sudden as it may seem. They had played in the same venues before. The fact that Floor was able to fly to the United States on a moments notice and learn the set in 48 hours, leads to believe this was a pre arranged possibility. Annette did not fit the music Tuomas wanted to write - in several songs, Annette would step back, letting the recorded backing vocals take over. Floor sings those parts herself, as she has the range that Annette does not possess. Also, in the early days of concerts leading up to and including Wacken 2013, when Floor began to adapt the songs to her abilities, you can see the massive smiles on the faces of all band members when she hits levels never achieved by Annette nor by Tarja. They know that they had hit a gold mine with her and don’t for a second think they weren’t in on this with Tuomas - even Troy alludes to it in the documentary. Don’t think Floor is leaving. The band loves her, she calls them her brothers, she travels with them and doesn’t act like a prissy prima donna, in either use of the word - she works with the band, on and off stage.
Doug Siders at the time, when she was upset with the band upon leaving, she requested not to be in any dvds as she felt they would use it to make her appear like the 'bad guy' as they supposedly did with Tarja. She seems to have been, somewhat right, in that in the 'showtime,storytime' dvd, there is a clip where Tuomas and whoever is filming, are shown laughing at a comic strip where someone is jokingly stating 'this is where we keep all the previous nightwish singers' or something like that, and it shows a bunch of old or fat women in a barn stable, with emphasis on one who has a tshirt that says 'rock' on it. I feel like it was a shitty jab at Anette, to even have that joke on a dvd, its likely not an issue now, but it makes you wonder. They STILL have all the dvd quality footage of her, and maybe at some point the band will make peace with Anette (since she seems to be over the past drama, even having some pics somewhere of her standing with Floor in a happy picture). If they make peace face to face, or even online, maybe another dvd will be released, we can only hope so. I dont think anyone wants to hold a grudge, regardless what was joked about and what wasn't, but we can only hope for the best, at the very least, both sides are happy it seems, that is what matters.
Sekhem Marutuk they had some footage on the end of an era dvd where they were talking shit about tarja as well. its beyond childish and unprofessional.
+Chloe Welch In a less heard of interview ,written down, not in video, Anette answered something in relation to Floor; Thomas has in fact asked her months ahead of time if she'd be comfortable with Floor Jansen replacing her should she ever be unable to perform. She said no, naturally, with her situation already being rough handling her children, along with the fact she felt she'd be at risk of being replaced permanently, we can clearly see Thomas just might have had that in mind before that concert they almost cancelled. :/ people seem to see floor as a hero for stepping in along with kamelot, but the fact is, thomas had floor in mind for months, it wasnt out of nowhere at all. They do have footage of Anette no doubt in their archives but the issue was that Anette felt if it were released they'd make her 'look bad' because they did the same with Tarja; she also stated (years ago of course) that she had to overhear the boys , or at least some of the crew, talk down about Tarja, and she said it made her uncomfortable. Naturally what else is she supposed to think if she hears that kind of talk about a vocalist like Tarja and then Thomas is asking her if she's ok with Floor as her replacement in an emergency? Wouldnt anyone else be nervous as hell in her position? She isn't stupid, she knows her range, vocally, and i think she's a wonderful singer, I like all era singers for that matter but a lot of people need to just give her a break. While I'm sure she's moved on from all this, as the rest of the band has , she's even had a peaceful connection to Floor who said she enjoyed what Anette brought to the band, so despite the past drama, whatever the actual reality of what happened is, as fans the best we can do is move on, cause really, the truth is between the members, and any article out there is still a potential 'story' from either side. In the meantime, I love all of Nightwish now, though I'll admit EFMB didn't really grasp my attention much but it is a great album and Anette is still making music and performing nightwish songs (such as amaranth, sahara, and last ride of the day) so we have that at least, now as fans the best we can do is just support them all happily.
I will miss Anette. This was her album. DPP was great too. Keep in mind everyone, the choice to have Anette join Nightwish was their choice and you should respect it. She didn't trash Nightwish or damage it. The band is doing great or we wouldn't see these great turn outs.
When Anette joined nightwish I gave her a chance and I am happy that I did. She was good in her time with nightwish. I was upset when I learned that she was no longer in the band but I gave Floor a chance and I like have Floor as their singer
Es war ein Traum von einem Konzert! Die Stimmung war bombastisch und die Band hat gespielt wie von einer anderen Welt! 50€ die sich auf jeden fall gelohnt haben
I cannot believe I will not get to see this beautiful lady perfrom. I have loved Nightwish for many years, through Tarja and Anettes era both, and now it seems once again it is an end of a era. Wow what a concert i would give anything to have been there. I'm still so excited to see Nightwish albeit minus Anette :( finally they will come to New Zealand!
I believe in what Tuomas said " Nightwish is a carousel that can´t stop ... " I miss Tarja and Anette, but I went to their concert here in São Paulo, Floor was amazing,! she sings very well Tarja and Anette songs, she sings in her own way, that is amazing !
@ProdicalSon666 No need to regret that. I personally preferred their Anette era tbh. Seems they could make much better songs when she was in the band. Endless Forms is just mediocre at best, with The Greastest... being one of the only tunes worth listening to. How they missed out on making history with Floor as a vocalist on that album is beyond me. Now, i do like Floor though. Saw her many times with After Forever, and I do think she is a good match for Nightwish. Also she has amazing stage presence, which is the first one to have that, as Anette was just crazy. But the way they get rid of vocalists is just mean and stupid. They did the same with Tarja back in the day, and it didnt sit well with the fans. This time, I think they backed them up since they rather have Floor than Anette.. lol. But still, miss that Swedish woman...
@@dejannightwish I agree with you on the last part, Floor's album is really good. But Anette is good in her own way, just like Tarja and Floor. You shouldn't compare them and who are you to judge someone?( There's a difference between 'she's bad' and 'I think she's bad')You may think she's bad, but that's not a fact.
Is so damn unfair, in those times the cellphone´s technology was barely good, so we don't have a lot of videos that could make justice of what a great singer is Anette with NW like Floor does.. or a dvd of an amazing concert... really unfair..
Floor is one of the best female metal singers, but Anette had a sweetness to her voice that was perfect for those two albums. Imaginaerum is my favorite Nightwish album.
they are all amazing vocalist but I really enjoyed the fun that Annette brought to the band. she will be missed me for sure-I really hope she releases new material soon whether solo or with another band
WOW. Anette is stunning, she looks gorgeous sounds fantastic, Nightwish really gained a gem. It is ironic that people would criticize her on this song of al things, Anette is not a vacuous puppet participating in a fashion show. Not to mention the lyrics: An obese girl enters an elevator with me. All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly on her neck. Terribly sweeet perfume deafens me. She's going to dinner alone. That makes her even more beautiful. Or were you meat puppets not listening?
Amazing vocals I prefer all the Imaginaerum songs with Anette´s voice than Floor´s, she is really sweet and powerful, it´s a shame doesn´t exist more videos with Anette on tour...
Anette and Nightwish was and is not a match. That's why there are so little videos of her with Nightwish. It's what Tuomas said in a video about Floor, she's at home! Anette was never at home when she was in Nightwish!
Dave Mason yeah I do agree with the "unreliable", I mean I loved her time in the band, but by the time she was dismissed I dont believe she was the most fit for the direction the band had...
Considering she is violating both the performing rights (no royalties paid) and mechanical rights (recorded Nightwish songs to media for distribution) she should be careful when she talks about other peoples ethics. Legally Tarja has zero rights to Nightwish's music as she was not involved in it's creation, only in the recording. She's the real piece of work here.
Yeah, Anette was the second singer, the first one was Tarja Turunen, Anette was in the band since 2007. Actually the singer is Floor Jansen. I don't know which CD recommend to you because they're all really awesome :D But if you want to listen a song with the old singer, you can listen "Nemo" or "Wish I Had An Angel" :) And if you want to hear the bassist sing, listen "The Islander", "While your lips are still red", it's beautiful songs :)
Shit. I fell in tears. An adult man. Wanna buy a ticket to preconcert of imaginaerum-movie no matter how expensive it is. And yea, she looks bloody great!
Floor hizo una buena versión en vivo de la Song of myself pero al escuchar esta me quedo con ella, la energía que trasmite Anette encaja con la esencia de la canción, no en vano fué escrita para ella, Floor tiene la mejor voz de la banda y la que más encaja con el metal, pero considero que Anette es parte de la era dorada de Nightwish, lamentablemente la banda perdió la fuerza que tenía. De Tarja es la inovación y la mística,la voz femenina que no existía en el metal en ese entonces, por eso su fama creció y creció hasta el Once.
Oh Anette, you sweet thing, the rigorous demands of touring were surely starting to show. After seeing this clip I now begin to understand.. how it must have become so hard to maintain your composure, your energy and your innocence. It is not a burden that many wear well or make it through to the other end unscathed. You really did come a long way with Nightwish but it has now spat you out the other end. But! The show.. MUST. GO. ON! Welcome Floor! A true war veteran of the scene!
She had such an amazing grace.Took my long time to accept her as the new NW singer and now she is gone...Nightwish really need to stop changing their vocalists like suits
Well, they got a very good vocalist now. Floor can really bring back the more operatic style of the band and in my personal opinion she has better stage presence than both Tarja and Annete. However, this two songs are really cool with Anete.
Lo Arlequin What i think about Floor is that tho she can sing both operatic ( resembling Tarja ) and rock ( resembling Anette ), she can do both but at just a good level..I mean she can't be as flawless as Tarja was at operatic style, since Tarja was focusing on that style, nor sing in a rock style as comfortable and cheerfully as Anette did,That is my opinion tho..What i know for sure is that it's high time Nightwish stuck with a singer so that we can relate to the band again..Singers aint T-Shirts
since when Anette sing in a rock style? And even comfortably? I've never seen someone not comfortable performing in a metal band as Anette. I support her voice in folk-oriented songs like Turn Loose The Mermaid or The Crow, The Owl and the Dove, but the rest is just ok. And she has to try so hard to even sing her song (Amaranth), she's not so strong performing live either.
I agree. Anette was a bit more "rockish" cuz she was never able to reach Tarja's high notes. So she took a different aproach. I'm not saying Anetteis bad, I think Nightwish was not the band for her. True, she tryed something diffrent. So did Floor in the end chorus of Ghost Love Score and the result was way better. I just like my vocalist verstail :p

How can people watch performances like this and still say Anette can't sing live? She absolutely can, when given material that fits her voice and was written for her!
Shes beautiful!
Anette, Floor and Tarja... i love them ALL!
I agree with you my dear 👍
I do too 😳
@@Mr01081960 until Floor comes around the corner, than u hear the difference ,Floor is so much more Metal🤗🤗🤗
I totally agree ❤️ what a range of videos and songs we have to enjoy 😊😊😊
I agree
I first started getting into Nightwish in Annette's era. I'll always have a soft spot for her. Very talented!
For me I started in the Tarja era. But I gave Annette a chance and I like her time with nightwish. It took me awhile to get used to having Floor as the singer but the more live videos I watched with Floor I now enjoy having Floor as the singer.
Me too. I start with Amaranth song. Just then I discovered Tarja & Floor. I think Annette voice is sweet. I love all 3 of them. Each of them got their own song I like. Like Annette I love her sing The Crow The Dove The Swan. Tarja I love her sing most of the songs in her nightwish era. And for Floor, I really love Greatest Show on Earth.
This is awesome. Nothing is wrong with Anette's voice whatsoever! She's freaking great
+Lauren Kerridge Other than Annette looks and sounds like a backup singer?
+Don Ceballos I don't think she does, I personally think when Anette was a part of Nightwish they produced some of their best music

She really worked on her stage presence towards the end of her career with Nightwish. Better outfit choices, and showing more energy.
Annette is so underrated , she was superb on Imaginaerum .
Not just in Imaginaerum.

They do have footage of Anette no doubt in their archives but the issue was that Anette felt if it were released they'd make her 'look bad' because they did the same with Tarja; she also stated (years ago of course) that she had to overhear the boys , or at least some of the crew, talk down about Tarja, and she said it made her uncomfortable. Naturally what else is she supposed to think if she hears that kind of talk about a vocalist like Tarja and then Thomas is asking her if she's ok with Floor as her replacement in an emergency? Wouldnt anyone else be nervous as hell in her position? She isn't stupid, she knows her range, vocally, and i think she's a wonderful singer, I like all era singers for that matter but a lot of people need to just give her a break. While I'm sure she's moved on from all this, as the rest of the band has , she's even had a peaceful connection to Floor who said she enjoyed what Anette brought to the band, so despite the past drama, whatever the actual reality of what happened is, as fans the best we can do is move on, cause really, the truth is between the members, and any article out there is still a potential 'story' from either side. In the meantime, I love all of Nightwish now, though I'll admit EFMB didn't really grasp my attention much but it is a great album and Anette is still making music and performing nightwish songs (such as amaranth, sahara, and last ride of the day) so we have that at least, now as fans the best we can do is just support them all happily.
I will miss Anette. This was her album. DPP was great too. Keep in mind everyone, the choice to have Anette join Nightwish was their choice and you should respect it. She didn't trash Nightwish or damage it. The band is doing great or we wouldn't see these great turn outs.
When Anette joined nightwish I gave her a chance and I am happy that I did. She was good in her time with nightwish. I was upset when I learned that she was no longer in the band but I gave Floor a chance and I like have Floor as their singer
Es war ein Traum von einem Konzert! Die Stimmung war bombastisch und die Band hat gespielt wie von einer anderen Welt! 50€ die sich auf jeden fall gelohnt haben
I cannot believe I will not get to see this beautiful lady perfrom. I have loved Nightwish for many years, through Tarja and Anettes era both, and now it seems once again it is an end of a era. Wow what a concert i would give anything to have been there. I'm still so excited to see Nightwish albeit minus Anette :( finally they will come to New Zealand!
i think she looks awesome. she's gorgeous. you'd have to be a blind fool to deny that! she is fierce in this video; such passion and intensity!
Anette, preciosa y potente voz!!!
ANETTE...................UNA DIOSA
I believe in what Tuomas said " Nightwish is a carousel that can´t stop ... " I miss Tarja and Anette, but I went to their concert here in São Paulo, Floor was amazing,! she sings very well Tarja and Anette songs, she sings in her own way, that is amazing !
Oh my!
Anette, you're at a completely different level! THIS IS THE BEST LIVE VIDEO FROM 2012!!!!
Anette is the best!!! Love the style they have with her. No other band like them. And now she's gone :(
The best? Whahahaha.
To bad there isnt any professional videos of Annette in concert cell phone vidoes dont do her any justice. Shes great.
Anette!! I miss her so much already. T^T She was such a great performer...
Bye, Anette. Tarja and Anette...Queens of Nightwish...
We love all the angels of Nightwish, Tarja Annete and Floor!
so love "last ride of the day" one of the best of the album, in my opinion
Awesome, old and new NW is such GREAT. Thanks for the stunning ART Tuomas-NW!
As usual, top perfomance by Nightwish! And I must say, awesome video and audio quality! Good job on recording that!
My god this is just beautiful
She's great for songs made for her.
She looks gorgeous with black hair
Apresentação incrível!!!Adoro esta voz!
Thanks for the upload, Song Of Myself & Last Ride Of The Day are two of the best songs off the album! :D
Ahh I would have loved to see Nightwish live in their days with Anette 😍
@ProdicalSon666 No need to regret that. I personally preferred their Anette era tbh. Seems they could make much better songs when she was in the band. Endless Forms is just mediocre at best, with The Greastest... being one of the only tunes worth listening to. How they missed out on making history with Floor as a vocalist on that album is beyond me.
Now, i do like Floor though. Saw her many times with After Forever, and I do think she is a good match for Nightwish. Also she has amazing stage presence, which is the first one to have that, as Anette was just crazy.
But the way they get rid of vocalists is just mean and stupid. They did the same with Tarja back in the day, and it didnt sit well with the fans. This time, I think they backed them up since they rather have Floor than Anette.. lol. But still, miss that Swedish woman...
She is not bad but not good like Floor and Tarja!
@@dejannightwish I agree with you on the last part, Floor's album is really good. But Anette is good in her own way, just like Tarja and Floor. You shouldn't compare them and who are you to judge someone?( There's a difference between 'she's bad' and 'I think she's bad')You may think she's bad, but that's not a fact.
Love for Anette 🖤
Is so damn unfair, in those times the cellphone´s technology was barely good, so we don't have a lot of videos that could make justice of what a great singer is Anette with NW like Floor does.. or a dvd of an amazing concert... really unfair..
Floor is one of the best female metal singers, but Anette had a sweetness to her voice that was perfect for those two albums. Imaginaerum is my favorite Nightwish album.
She is very energetic and sang these songs very well especially song of myself.
I am SO glad i get to see them in a few weeks!!!!!! Never saw them live before!!
they are all amazing vocalist but I really enjoyed the fun that Annette brought to the band. she will be missed me for sure-I really hope she releases new material soon whether solo or with another band
Danke für den Mitschnitt ! Fast die Perspektive, die ich an dem Abend auch hatte. Es war so geil !
WOW. Anette is stunning, she looks gorgeous sounds fantastic, Nightwish really gained a gem. It is ironic that people would criticize her on this song of al things, Anette is not a vacuous puppet participating in a fashion show. Not to mention the lyrics:
An obese girl enters an elevator with me.
All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly on her neck.
Terribly sweeet perfume deafens me.
She's going to dinner alone.
That makes her even more beautiful.
Or were you meat puppets not listening?
I think I just discovered my new favourite band! Holy Crap! This is awesome!
I honestly miss Anette :(
Me too 😭
Me too sister 😭... that's all..
She sounds great in this. Her voice is constantly getting better.
Amazing vocals I prefer all the Imaginaerum songs with Anette´s voice than Floor´s, she is really sweet and powerful, it´s a shame doesn´t exist more videos with Anette on tour...
Anette and Nightwish was and is not a match. That's why there are so little videos of her with Nightwish. It's what Tuomas said in a video about Floor, she's at home! Anette was never at home when she was in Nightwish!
I need another Anette era
no whe have floor now
Anette in a pop band, that will maybe be okay
I love her! I can´t help it!!!!
We are blessed to have heard Tarja, Anette, and Floor. We have been blessed with all three to broaden our horizons.
She left so early from the band...I miss her a lot!
She was fired by the asshole himself Tuomas. He made it look like she left.
She was unreliable and became a diva. Any group would have fired her.
Dave Mason yeah I do agree with the "unreliable", I mean I loved her time in the band, but by the time she was dismissed I dont believe she was the most fit for the direction the band had...
I wonder why only women get the titles like diva in this band. I'm glad Tarja is using his songs for her. He deserves it.
Considering she is violating both the performing rights (no royalties paid) and mechanical rights (recorded Nightwish songs to media for distribution) she should be careful when she talks about other peoples ethics. Legally Tarja has zero rights to Nightwish's music as she was not involved in it's creation, only in the recording. She's the real piece of work here.
Last Ride of the Day is my favorite song of this album!!! its great!!!
The best Nightwish album, Imaginaerum. Perfect. #Anetterules!
Abel Tomé so trueeee
Always said that Annette was the weakest singer but the albums with her with the best.
@@dougmphilly Yeah and that's a stupid (Floor fanboi meme) thing to say. If Anette was a weak singer, her albums wouldn't be great.
Aurinkohirvi did not say she was weak but the weakest of the nightwish singers, big difference
@@dougmphilly Maybe you think it is a big difference, but YT is full of Floor fans who bash Anette as horrible live performer. It's their meme.
Phenomenal
She is amazing. Floor is a good singer but Anette is freaking emotional. You will be missed, wish you luck in your solo career :)
The Dark Element
I'm seeing Nightwish in November, and this is going to be awesome, absolutely cannot wait :)
I miss Anette so much...
In less than a month I will see you live!!!! I'm sooooooo happy. Sept 24th Chicago.
She's amazing.... powerful voice
Yeah, Anette was the second singer, the first one was Tarja Turunen, Anette was in the band since 2007. Actually the singer is Floor Jansen.
I don't know which CD recommend to you because they're all really awesome :D But if you want to listen a song with the old singer, you can listen "Nemo" or "Wish I Had An Angel" :)
And if you want to hear the bassist sing, listen "The Islander", "While your lips are still red", it's beautiful songs :)
Shit. I fell in tears. An adult man. Wanna buy a ticket to preconcert of imaginaerum-movie no matter how expensive it is.
And yea, she looks bloody great!
This is an amazing video, thanks for uploading! :D
The Anette Years
Thanks for this great video!This band really ROOOOOCCKKKKKSSSSSSS!
Floor hizo una buena versión en vivo de la Song of myself pero al escuchar esta me quedo con ella, la energía que trasmite Anette encaja con la esencia de la canción, no en vano fué escrita para ella, Floor tiene la mejor voz de la banda y la que más encaja con el metal, pero considero que Anette es parte de la era dorada de Nightwish, lamentablemente la banda perdió la fuerza que tenía. De Tarja es la inovación y la mística,la voz femenina que no existía en el metal en ese entonces, por eso su fama creció y creció hasta el Once.
One of the best pieces of concert footage i've seen, I wanted it to go on thanks for sharing
They've played this one on almost all concerts with Floor and I think she does it very well, just like pretty much all other NW songs she's done :)
Anette is perfect! Just gorgeous! Such a great singer and such a beautiful woman! NW Forever!
3:23 - Those voices, that music. GOD DAMN I LOVE THIS BAND!
OMG!!! Anette looks so awesome, have you people noticed her choker????? And her dress?? And her make up??? And her tattoos?? I love her style :D
I love her necklace!
Oh Anette, you sweet thing, the rigorous demands of touring were surely starting to show. After seeing this clip I now begin to understand.. how it must have become so hard to maintain your composure, your energy and your innocence. It is not a burden that many wear well or make it through to the other end unscathed. You really did come a long way with Nightwish but it has now spat you out the other end. But! The show.. MUST. GO. ON!
Welcome Floor! A true war veteran of the scene!
She had such an amazing grace.Took my long time to accept her as the new NW singer and now she is gone...Nightwish really need to stop changing their vocalists like suits
I agree!
Well, they got a very good vocalist now. Floor can really bring back the more operatic style of the band and in my personal opinion she has better stage presence than both Tarja and Annete. However, this two songs are really cool with Anete.
Lo Arlequin What i think about Floor is that tho she can sing both operatic ( resembling Tarja ) and rock ( resembling Anette ), she can do both but at just a good level..I mean she can't be as flawless as Tarja was at operatic style, since Tarja was focusing on that style, nor sing in a rock style as comfortable and cheerfully as Anette did,That is my opinion tho..What i know for sure is that it's high time Nightwish stuck with a singer so that we can relate to the band again..Singers aint T-Shirts
since when Anette sing in a rock style? And even comfortably? I've never seen someone not comfortable performing in a metal band as Anette. I support her voice in folk-oriented songs like Turn Loose The Mermaid or The Crow, The Owl and the Dove, but the rest is just ok. And she has to try so hard to even sing her song (Amaranth), she's not so strong performing live either.
I agree. Anette was a bit more "rockish" cuz she was never able to reach Tarja's high notes. So she took a different aproach. I'm not saying Anetteis bad, I think Nightwish was not the band for her. True, she tryed something diffrent. So did Floor in the end chorus of Ghost Love Score and the result was way better. I just like my vocalist verstail :p
Great video !! Love Nightwish
Miss you annete
for years I've been hating the new Nightwish, but Imaginaerum is now my number 2 in my All Time Favourite Nightwish albums....
Epic vocal harmony starts @10:13... Ahhh I miss Anette.
awsome video great quality in both sound and image
Stop saying she left, she was fired all of a sudden just like they did with Tarja.
Well no matter how it went down, somehow some way the path needed to be made for Floor
Just like Tarja, Anette couldn't function as a part of the band. They needed to go.
Keep believing Tarja was screwed over lol. Tarja was poison.
Thank you! I will choose one of the first two you suggested.
Anette looks so beautiful
oohh the awesomness!! the music, the voices.. The Magic Nightwish!
