Thank you so much for uploading these latest Tarja performances, Tero Kiikeri! I wasn't expecting this kind of instrumental arrangement again for this song with Tarja, to be honest I was actually very used to a more classical approach from her towards this one in the latter years. Although not my favourite version from her, was a good surprise and a nice performance overal from both of them. In 2012 I saw Tarja Live in Lisbon performing this song, she was amazing, However I may confess that Tarja's Live performance of "Phantom of the Opera" in 2019, in Turko, Finland still remains my favourite from her solo career so far: ruclips.net/video/279ML6zpSuc/видео.html
That was really her best, her Eb6 never sounded that great. Here the last note wasn't her best, but what night was that, the fourth? She might be a little tired, the rest of that final part was still outstanding tho, idk her higher notes on head voice seems to have got stronger with time, I wish we could get some footage from the other nights :/
I was in Lisbon too that day. Great memories. Oh yeah 2019 guys... no words. Tarja's highs are much fuller and powerfull than in Nightwish.. That day, everything was perfect. The chest voice and the head voice. Nowadays, she is not as careful. She lacks precision. Coordination. Besides, I cannot stand the phantom anymore or these musical songs either... it seems like they are made for lyric or light soprano girls, most of them, that is. And Tarja with her almost dramatic voice insists in singing them. Her vocals are not for this. How I miss her singing heavier stuff like Rachmaninoff.. sorry to interrupt though ;)
@@LigeiaNoire I agree, as usual! I hope Tarja rescues "Beauty of the Beast" instead, or even when she duets, "Dead to the World" would be a great surprise, because I really loved her recent takes on "Planet Hell" (I was in the "Raw Tour" concert in Lisbon, 2020, and "Planet Hell" sounded amazing! Maybe Marco agrees on doing something special this summer with Tarja, in their Switzerland festival...) I hope you're fine! Also, Marcus Ferracin, thank you for answering too! =)
Tarja sounded tired or... like lack of concentration, perhaps? Even if we "forgive" the quality of recording. Still, it is always a pleasure to see her on stage. - Funny to see Pentti Hietanen, it is a long time ago I saw him last time on stage. I remember him from opera and musicals. Nice voice...
The last part is just different from other Phantom of The Opera live versions from her. I don't know what it is but seems stronger or maybe more agile. Idk. But I must say the last note from some nights ago was quite long in comparison.
Didn't like it at all. Both of them seem distracted, and her voice, even if as thunderous as ever, was very uncontrolled. 2019 version is still the best of her career. Regardless, phantom is so so so overrated . It has been done and overdone, that I feel that Tarja is singing it as if by demand. So many beautiful duets out there that deserve the spotlight much more. What about something from Sweeny Todd? One can dream...
Marco is killing this. 👍🤘🔥
Nobody sings this better...
Yes Tarja and Marco❤❤❤

This is Pentti Hietanen's band with Tarja as a guest vocalist, hence the unusual arrangements.

I like her, but some of her voice choices are a mystery to me. I know she can do better.
