  • I want Tarja back, anette is a good singer but she can't sing songs from Tarja sry anette

  • 4:37, FUCKING EPIC

  • Wiadomo, że Tarja śpiewa o niebo lepiej jak Anette, ale i tak i tak nieźle się spisała, bardzo ładnie zaśpiewała i to jest oczywiste, że drugą Tarją nie będzie!

  • OOhh! So lovely :)

  • Cantata da lei fa pena, ha rovinato tutte le vecchie canzoni :S

  • Tarja is the best.. Anette is bad for this song

  • I think one thing we can all agree on this is better than the 2005 version

  • At 4:56 a man shouts (as I hear it) "UNOHTAKAA TARJA!" and I really agree, you should forget about her already when talking about Nightwish of today. Anette is a very good singer, and is constantly getting better. She sang this very well.

  • She sing very well this, trust me bad performance of her was nemo, ever dream, wishmaster and the other tarja songs, this is the first song that likes me performing by her but of course i prefer tarja always

  • i prefer the old version....

  • oh no...why does youtube have to recommend these to me?? lol

  • BEST PARODIA :o))))

  • Anette's not a bad singer, but when they fired Tarja, they took away the operatic feel and reeally the main thing that set Nightwish apart from every other symphonic metal band. 'Dark Passion Play' wasn't bad, but it sounds just like something Within Temptation or Visions of Atlantis would have done. Whatever this band is, it ain't bad, but it certainly isn't Nightwish.

  • Anette makes this song a good one!!!!

    I used to think this song was one of the worst ones but she rocks it up :)

    YEAH!!!!!!!

  • Anette's singing style totally doesnt match Nightwish's songs from older albums. Anette should just keep to the newer songs. She's destroying this beautiful song........

  • Give it up Anette can't sing!!!

  • Garbage!!!!

  • Very nice recording job! Thanks!

  • je n'ai pas laché nightwish mm sans tarja , jai bien cette version l'emotion vehiculé y est differente ;jaime bcp , la voix de anette muri a chaque concert ^^

  • Mhm, I like her. With Anette it sounds more like a rock-song.

  • This is MUCH better than the other live version I heard with Anette where she was constantly flat, and frankly, was pretty bad.

    She changed the vocal line around a bit between 2007 and 2008 and it works so much better now.

  • yes, now she can sing higher notes.

  • not really, she just stopped trying.

  • Sounds like karaoke...

  • Je suis une des rares à ne pas avoir lâché le groupe après le renvoi de Tarja... J'aime autant Anette que Tarja pour des raisons différentes. Je dois cependant reconnaitre que je préfère l'ancienne version pour cette chanson.

  • It's almost four years Tarja was fired, so stop comparing, Anette is best forever XD

  • Excellent voice for a pop or country singer.

    Not for a "Nightwish" singer.

    I'm so sorry but this is my opinion and many ppl support me

  • This is really beautiful <3 I hope people just would enjoy the music of this great band and stop to comparing to Anette and Tarja.

    Nightwish is the best band ever.

  • Annette has her own voice it's different than Tarja's voice, but sounds very good and extremely. + 5

  • Its not bad but the song loses a lot of its power

  • Yes, the song does lose a lot of its power... Anette has no vibrato and doesn't have a very strong voice...

    But this isn't too bad! I give Anette's vocal performance 1000% improvement from a live version also on youtube that is a year older.

  • Completely agreed with you. Sounds like pop song or something like that. Have nothing against Annete but for me this is not it.

  • this band without Tarja, is a fucking shit! this new singer its a studend, she canno sing as Tarja

  • "this band without Tarja, is a fucking shit!"

    Actually dark passion play is Tuomas' best work to date.

    And of course Anette can't sing lie Tarja because they have completely different voice types..

  • she sounds like shes trying out for american idol.

  • I love Sleeping sun withTarja's voice

  • wow o.o her voice touched me

    awesome! :)

  • OMG this is better than that one with Tarja

  • Actually I think that she sing really good this song. Of course it's something totally different from the original sung by Tarja, but anyway Anette's warm voice suits well to Sleeping Sun.

  • Anette rulz!

  • I love Sleeping sun withTarja's  voice

  • just awesomely beautiful! :D

  • This is way too beautiful =).

  • He was a bit better in 1999...

  • Ella puede cantar y por eso tiene todo mi respeto al unirse a nigthwish pero simple No me gusta! en los videos se ve muy popera, su estilo vocal parece mas de cantante country en vivo desafina mucho y en vivo las canciones viejas

  • She can sing and she have all my respect to ride on nigthwish... but simply. I Dont Likeher!.

    In the videos She looks Poppy, her vocal style is more like a "country singer", live she detune a lot, and the older songs sounds like some other band. not nigthwish.

    suenan a otra banda no a nigthwish

  • Agree With you elbataquero

  • i miss atmosphare whitch tajra can to do when is singig sleepin sun

  • I love sleeping sun with her voice!!

    she doesn't try to sing opera, she makes the song hers instead. her voice is so clear Love it!!

  • Tuomas, Jukka Marco and Emppu didn't choose Anette just becaose she can sing. Her nature was also important. The biggest problem with Tarja was that no-one of the band members didn't talk much to each other. Anette made the boys to talk and helped them. That's why thigs are now better.

    Singing skills are a big plus but getting along with the others is important too. Tarja didn't get along well so I don't think that boys want her back. I don't miss her at all like her own music. It's horrible.

  • x 2!!

  • can we please stop blaming anette for "ruining nightwish's image" or whatever. It was and still is TUOMAS' band, not Tarja's.Tuomas chose anette and is happy with her. She did not ruin anything, Tuomas merely changed it. If you don't like it now then tough luck because Tuomas does and that's all that really matters.

  • First time I see Anette is good singing.. First time, really.. gj Anette, but it is only one concert and song where u sing well, sorry..

  • lol, its in the middle of the summer and people are wearing jackets and beanie's :)

  • Its probably not that warm in the summer in Finland.

  • @silversolsken

    There's a HUGE difference between vocal STRENGTH and vocal RANGE. Tarja has a wider and higher vocal range than Anette, but they're about the same in vocal strength when they're each singing in their most comfortable vocal range. This is where Tuomas and the guys went wrong with choosing Anette...she has the vocal strength, just not as high a vocal range as most other Nightwish songs demand.

  • Plaese, she seems a bad Helena Bonham Carter copy...

  • This is perfect the only thing is Tarja sang with such a Finnish accent and Anette sings with such a Swedish accent.

  • ROFL u Tarja lovers are such morons

    go listen to her stuff and stop posting here.

    oh i forgot her new stuff ant worth listening too its S!!T

  • anette is actually pretty cool but when she sings sleeping sun or wishmaster... it's just horrible...

  • I was there, they were / are excellent, Anette doesn't suck at all and I really hope that they NEVER go back to operatic vocals again whatever happens!

  • this doesnt look live- with noobs screaming like this all over-maybe the Dvd would do better when it comes out :P

  • Anette doesn't suck! she hath to practice a little more!! it's all!! I wish they sing the phantom of the Opera too! =)

  • And how do you think that would be possible?

  • Anette did really good! All of you haters suck. :)

  • Great Performance!!

  • i think anette does a really good job on this song. a pleasant suprise as it is really difficult

  • I Like her Final Screams!! But The Song Is Not Made For Her!! although I think she could get better!! But I Miss Tarja For This!! My Favorite Balad turned in my unfavorite one now!

  • My Favourite Ballad is now my unfavourite one! :))) I will never listen to Nightwish again not with Anette. but there are still CD's and concerts recorded with Tarja...

  • don't then you nob, nightwish is going much farther with anette then tarja, she was all about her self and was a pain in the ass to deal with, she was going to quit anyway. if they would of continued with tarja they would be broken for good by now. so they my lose a band wagon fan like you but there many more to take your place, good by bonehead.

  • Tarja had promised only one more album, so they would have done it, and Finito.

  • Anette CAN sing, she just sings differently, get used to it or stop posting on these videos. And I think what she's wearing is better than that creepy yellow dress with matching mic that Tarja had. You have to look at Nightwish with fresh eyes. Do you really think if she had tarja's voice people would like her better? no, they'd say she was copying her too much. She's trying to find a style for herself. And she's pretty good looking for a woman 6 years older than her former.

  • She hasn't to be beautiful, she has to be a good singer. And she is, for me. I don't care what kind of dress she wears. Nightwish wanted a completely different person, not a ''Tarja clone''. In the end, if you don't like her, watch old NW videos and Tarja videos; Tarja's gone,now there's Anette,the happiness is back, and i think is the most important thing for the band.

  • i never saw Amy lee was wearing a such cloth.. what you said is just in your mind. I will tell you the fact Tarja is not beautiful she looks old. anytime I see her just like being in the hell with the danger devil.. so think about it...

  • Oh gosh. -.-

    Marco is over 40 and I've never seen anybody complaining about his age.

    And I find these "you can't wear these kind of clothes if you are 20/30/40/50 years old" -claims just ridiculous. I hate that there are these rules what people should wear. c'mon!

    And that "Nightwish is pop" is becoming a bit old....

  • hahahahaha. ok ok, but Marco Does NOT wear clothes for 15year old, little boys! that is why Marco doesn't look stupid. Anette should remember that there are still people who will never accept her, she has already ruined the image of nightwish as a gothic/opera metal group. She will never be so good, pretty, talented and oryginal as Tarja is/was! see how Tarja looked on the stage, how she performed the SHOW! now when I've heard Anette's Slaying The Dreamer, I've laughed to tears ;| OOOMYGTH!!!!

  • no way, annette was definately not made for this song, this is my favourite nightwish song & it aint the same anymore, tarja rules this by far, i think annette is good at singing BYE BYE BEAUTIFUL but the opera vocals will always be reserved for tarja, still a great band but with something missing (or should i say SOMEONE) anyone agree?

  • Of course I agree with you. They miss the REAL singer of Nightwish, Tarja! I can't wait until Annette starts acting like a diva and she gets kicked out XD

  • she's trying to sing this but we just love the original verison...i like her voice but not in this song :(

  • I hate her voice. It's not Nightwish anymore!!!! now it's Nightmare for me!!! Anette will be good as a solo singer- like Kate Ryan- Anette sholud sing disco, pop or something like that!!! not sleeping sun!!! Tarja's Sleeping Sun was the best! Tarja IS irreplaceable!!! I wish she came back someday!!!

  • Tarja was a fucking stupid-ass money hungry fucking powerwhore that screwed shit up for herself. Her album is one of the worst pieces of SHIT ever. This version gives Tarja a run for her money. Irreplaceable my ass. If Tarja's Sleeping Sun was the best, how come people pointed out numerous problems with her live versions? Hell E.O.A.E and Lowlands SUCKED.

  • Nightmare? Picture TARJA singing Amaranth the way Anette did. Eughh...

  • Tarja can sing everything. Anette is not for Nighwish! she sings pop. Nightwish isn't pop band. I can't understand how it is possible to sing pop to metal music? It sounds awful. and how can you explain that Tarja has had her own style.... when I look at Anette I see Amy Lee as far as clothes are concerned. she is neither talented nor oryginal!!!!!!!!!!

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's funny. Sounded like you said Tarja can sing everything. xD Have her sing Christina Aguilera and Whitney Houston THEN come bash Anette. Pop singing is Britney Spears buddy. If Anette's pop what the fuck is Floor Jansen?

  • Floor has unique voice, I like it. "Tarja can sing everything" means she is ambitious and she can achive more than ever. Who sings the entrance to poet and pendulum "the end..." it's not Anette?!Am I right!?haha! Why does she wear almost the same kind of clothes as Amy Lee from Evanescence!!!??? NEITHER TALENTED NOR ORYGINAL!! SHE IS 40 NOT 20 OR 25SHE LOOKS STUPID! HER VERSION OF "THE SIREN" "aaaaa aaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa" - disaster! she can't sing around rock,opera,metal - ONLY POP!!!! ha ha ha ha

  • Tarja would never agree to sing that shit! Tarja isn't insane or mad! She has now better solo carrer than Nightwish with this pop singer Anette! even I can sing Amaranth! Thanks goth ther is still Marco, his voice is OK, he should sing a lot now!!! Tarja is very talented opera singer her voice brings me to my knees, Anett's vice drives me crazy. she should learn how to sing from THE BEST LEAGUE - e.g.- TARJA TURUNEN, SIMONE SIMONS, ETC. ;)

  • I Agree!! TARJA, SIMONE, EVEN AMY LEE FROM EVANESCENCE SINGS A LOT OF BETTER!!

  • finally, someone has the same opinion as me! Amy Lee sings very nice and she has (like Tarja, Simone, etc) her own style as far as for example clothes are concerned. Anette is neither talented nor oryginal!!!

  • I don't know why some people such as yourselves keep comparing Tarja and Anette. It's really dumb, and Tarja will NEVER come back to Nightwish. JUST GET OVER IT. ):

  • I don't think she will either, but sometimes I wonder. Just look at the lyrics from "Bye Bye Beautiful" - "You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting". It makes me wonder sometimes.

  • Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe they think that she will change back from a snobby woman to a great opera singer. But I doubt it, in a way.

  • I'm with you there.

  • Yeah. (: Let's just keep hoping, and we'll see what comes upon Nightwish in the journey to come.

  • i like it... no its not Tarja, and it never will be again. Accept it and move on. Annette is the new singer, and she will sing Nightwish songs.

  • Is it a rap, or pop now???? because it hasn't got a lot of common with Opera Metal!!!!!! so what is it now, because I'm not quite sure?????

  • They haven't been opera metal since WISHMASTER I think...or either Oceanborn...one of those.

  • Que triste en serio..

    Esta version es muy fea definitivamente!!!

    La "Voz" de Anette no calza en este estilo...Anette tiene una voz POP y estoy de acuerdo con los comentarios de ustedes...la cancion no es para ella!!!

    QUE TRISTE ES ESCUCHAR ESTA CANCION CANTADA POR ELLA!!! ME DA PENA AJENA.. A USTEDES NO???

  • El grupo se volvio tan comercial con esa...es casi como escuchar a una Britney Spears estilo rockera jajajaja....

    que pena por Nightwish ya sin tarja no es lo mismo...es triste pero es la verdad.

  • well.. no one said these songs were tarja's. all that was said was thats these songs were MADE for tarja, meaning tarja was the first to sing these songs, and makes her the original singer. And to have someone completely different like annette TRYING to sing them will not happen.

  • I really like this version of Sleeping Sun. It's more rock-sounding, but still retains that lullaby feel.

    As for the old songs being "Tarja's", they are NOT hers. They belong to Nightwish as a whole, not solely to the lead singer. Just as Tarja doesn't "own" Sleeping Sun, Annette doesn't "own" Bye Bye Beautiful. If anyone own Nightwish songs, it would be the composer, who, in most cases, happens to be Tuomas.

  • I agree with plogygutschieden , she just cant pull them of, this song was write for Tarja and she sung it amazingly, Anette is trying to do a song that wasnt made for her, and she cant do it, she should go back to whatever she did before.

  • i think Anette sings the songs well, but i think that Tarja sung them so good, and your comparing the two different artists, and they both sing it differently and they are both good.

  • eeeeh. she just can't do it. these songs are solely made for tarja. no matter how hard she tries, she should really stay away from these songs, unless she wants some tarja turunen fans angry at her. =) like me.

  • I don't think Annette has a choice. Nightwish cannot do a full length concert with just Dark Passion Play songs.

  • Its almost a different version of the song. Anette did a great job!

  • oh, anette, i adore you.. she should stay far away from the old songs, she doesn't seem to understand that she just isn't so great after all..

  • she? I think it was a descision of the whole band to do that song with her...

  • Great performance!

  • I cried that was so bad. Anette STAY AWAY FROM THE OLD SONGS. ;_;

  • Some of the earlier songs Anette should better not sing. This is one of them! .... Tarja's voice is incomparable and very beautiful. I love "Sleeping sun" in the original version.

  • that's right

    this is so...different...huh

  • nie tylko operowa,każda byłaby lepsza, na dodatek zmienia melodie i śpiewa jakby z taką manierą. jak nie ma pomysłu żeby zaśpiewać porządnie i czysto, bo operowo nie potrafi to niech nie śpiewa wcale!

  • nie wiem po co ją wizeli do zespołu! juz kazda operowa spiewczka była by lepsza od niej!

  • pogieło was? "amazing"? jaaa nie normalni jesteście! Niby ona spiewa lepiej od Tarji? W połowie wyłączyłem! nie da sie tego słuchac! Zjarła tą piosenkę idiotka!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This one is AMAZING!!! Anette's getting much better! :D

  • Awesome...she sings this better than Tarja...

    ROCK ON!

  • She sings it great xD

    NIGHTWISH FOREVER!!!

  • oh sry xD i said: i wanna see this next time, i mean, hear her sing it <3

  • vill höra denna live nästa gång ._.<3

  • she is getting better and better! amazing!

  • Anette! Please change colour of your hair !!! Return to black !!

    I like this version of Sleeping Sun, but Anette shouldn't change rhytm (2:00, 4:19).

  • Pathetic that Tarja is performing Nightwish's songs live. Anette sings amazing, and hey, DDP sold more than any other Nightwish album. Yeah, Nightwish is clearly over :( Oh well... /Sarcasm off. Nightwish, long live <3 With Anette! Our very own Rock pixie.

  • So what if she is preforming NW songs? She was band member for so many years and if she likes the songs why she wouldnt sing them on her concerts? What about all bands who make covers?

  • I loved Tarja, but it's not fair to say they are "her" songs, even though we'll always know the songs she suns as hers to some extent. She didn't write them my friend.

  • What do you mean she didn't write them? On the Nightwish albums, when you read the credits on the songs, Tarja's name is one them along with some of the bandmates' names.

  • Yes, however, only Tuomas (spelling?) wrote the songs.

    If Tarja was involved in writing, I'd think she'd be allowed to dispute them using the songs now.

  • Uh yeah Tarja's name was on the credits cause she sang on them kinda...

  • Yeah, I just realized that recently when I looked at the credits, so I feel like an idiot now...

  • I totally agree with you Umbra 16. I don't think she should sing their old songs either. And I agree with you 'til 95% when you said that once you replace the lead singer of a band, the band is over. It works like that when you replace someone like Tarja with a witch like Annette!!!

  • A witch? Pfft. A.'s not the money-whore. xD

  • i bet she fucked Tuomas. XD

  • I know, for example...Kittie. Not a real band. And in a way, the only member left of Evanescence left is Amy Lee. So, in a way, that band is kinda dead. But there's nothing I can do about it by complaining. I like Tarja's new stuff better than Nightwish anyway. Haha, did you call her a witch? Awesome.

  • Glad someone agrees XD She surely doesn't possess the same charm as Tarja did. Even if Holopainen says they haven't been opera metal since Wishmaster, there has still been SOME opera in Century Child and Once. Now, it's gone completely with this... this... this CREATURE!!!

  • Creature? God you fuckheads are jealous immature cunts. >.>

  • Haha, you remind me of my friend Vero. That's friggin awesome. It's nice to see that someone actually has some taste. It's not so much that I don't like Annette. I might have liked this version of Sleeping Sun if I never heard Tarja's. But how could Nightwish replace Tarja with Annette? Tarja's voice crushes Annette's.

  • Totally!! But have you heard Annette's version of "Nemo"? That one is even more terrible! I promise, this one is almost good compared to that one! And we all agree to that she can't sing this song even if she gave 200 %.

  • Oh hell no. I love that song. That's one of my favorite Nightwish songs. Honestly, it's not so much that I don't like Annette, it's just her job to sing those. I hate Nightwish for having her sing them. I cannot stand the new Nightwish album. The only song I liked was The Islander...

  • Agree. Annette doesn't sing terrible, it's just that her voice is not made for THIS band's songs. She makes them sound terrible. And you're right to 100% when you say that the only good song with Annette is "The Islander" because Marco's singing most of the time.

  • (Sigh) I don't really like that Marco sings that song. I love the lyrics and sound to that song. I actually really do think that the song would've sounded better with her being lead vocals. I don't know, I could be all wrong. It could've been a real shipwreck.

  • Hm, might be. I think their new songs are more like made for Annette, since she's not a trained opera singer like Annette. Holopainen can't just make their typical opera sound for her like he did when they had Tarja. I know I've said these things already, but I say it once again. The little opera they had left in Century Child and Once is completely gone with Annette. And She doesn't possess the same charm Tarja did.

  • That is the third time I've heard someone say Century Child and yet I've never heard of that album. I've only heard of Angels Fall First, Oceanborn, Wishmaster, Once, & Dark Passion Play,

  • Century Child is the album between Wishmaster and Once. It's really good but the lyrics are very depressing. You can listen to the songs on Youtube of course. Recommended!

  • Century child is a great album!! It contains SLAYING THE DREAMER!! A TRUE FREAKING SONG!! I LOVE IT!! AND IT CONTAINS EVER DREAM AND END OF ALL HOPE! OH, HOW I WISH TARJA TO COMEBACK!! T__________T

  • I agree! I Like Anette but she destroyed this beautiful song!! Im crying becuase this is not what I want!! TARJA I MISS YOU!!

  • Just one word. AWESOME.

  • Amazing singing, and the quality of this video is better than the other tapes I have found. Seems this concert was epic. Unlike the Tarja version, I understand the words.

  • I agree with some of you, this really is best version about this song ever!

    Hopefully Nightwish will make a new album next year:)

  • yeah, but it won't be release until 2010.

    That was what Marco said

  • This is the 2nd best version of Sleeping Sun I've ever heard. The best one was filmed once in Australia, when vocalist forgot to enter stage, so it was just instrumental... Gee it was beautiful!!! #-D And no, I'm not kidding!

  • Totally agree with you. :-) I've seen that Australia video here in tube earlier, but I could not find it now.

  • This sounds so good. Heavenly :)

  • This woman is amazing, she will always better and better, this is one of the performance of sleeping sun I've heard

  • not bad but is better.

  • awesome, just awesome, btw her grin at 4:08 is SOOOOOO cute =D

  • anette is my idol! i love her voice, and her wardrobe too! :)

  • no matter what style of clothes she prefers

  • Anette is awesome singer with amazing and different voice and with own style :-) I love this person....she sings awesome and I love her outfits....Anette isn´t as Tarja and this is great. I don´t wont second Tarja....Anette is the BEST for Nightwish now and I really love her and NIGHTWISH !!! The boys are very happy with her.....
