  • Sirens are supposed to sound beautiful... Like Tarja.

  • @inukikyo89 Agreed!!!! sirens are supposed to sound beautiful like Tarja! Anette sucks!

  • Mostly I prefer to hear Anette with the newer songs, and the first time I heard her do The Siren I thought it was definitely one of the older songs that she shouldn't be doing-I love Anette, but I didn't like that at all!-but this is surprisingly a LOT better.

  • lol what the hell is this crap... she shouldn't even try to sing these... stick with her own style and leave the classics for tarja

  • Secondo me The Siren è praticamente l'unica canzone in cui il "riarrangiamento Anette" funziona. Solo che secondo me lei di tecnica ne ha poca e niente, se fa un altro anno di tour così dopo le resta la voce come maria de filippi!

  • Ha! This version is bit different! One of the few old songs sang by Anette that i find okish :)

  • omg !!

    this band is beter without this " Tarja " -.-

    i hate her but love tommas :)

  • Prima di tutto la voce pop che intendi tu sarebbe la voce di petto quella che anette usa e che tarja non usava,per quello si chiama CANTO LIRICO...quindi prima di parlare io non so perchè certa gente non si documenta senza spararsi le figure di M...a

  • Non mi dispiace la versione con l'Anette, mi aspettavo peggio, devo dire. Però Tarja la rendeva magica, completamente diversa. Peccato.

  • WTF are you all shitting about Tarja Nightwish is now with anette and she rocks!!!!!

  • la versione con anette (come tutte poi) fa cagare, tarja è molto meglio...sarebbero dei vocalizzi "aaaaiaiaiaia"?

  • C'èro... che pena...

    Comunque fa abbastanza ribezzo come la canta, soprattutto i gorgeggi verso la fine della canzone sono veramente osceni!

  • Se la sua voce non è pop allora sarà rock ma rimane pur sempre commerciale e questo pezzo secondo me non si può far cantare a una voce simile perchè rovina la bellezza del brano originale eseguito da Tarja Turen. Secondo me Anette può cantare solo l'ultimo album...

  • E' Tarja Turunen. Prima cosa...seconda cosa...la voce di Anette è + adatta a questa canzone.....i vocalizzi di Tarja erano davvero troppo pesanti in "the Siren"

  • Allora se è una canzone per una voce lirica che cosa gliela fanno cantare che Annette ha una voce pop?

  • Prima di tutto la voce pop non esiste! Secondo: Mai senttito parlare di riarrangiamento o riedizione di un vecchio brano?

  • Ma non c'arriva!!!!ANETTE E' PESSIMA IN QUESTA CANZONE!!!!

  • Io ero li e a me è piaciuta! Non ti puoi aspettare che canti lirico visto che non è una cantante lirica!

  • go go marko!

  • ANNETTE kicks asses!!! She rocks!

  • Marco has gotten MUCH better since 2005!

  • Anette fucked this song all over. Tarja was way better at this song.

  • I think this song is better with anette, her voice fits much better to this song in my opinion

  • and you've right !!! Tarja's version was so cooold :/ w/out feelings

  • I love this song, and Anette is awesome ^^

  • I love her version. Great!!!

  • anette<3

  • Fuck, this song sounds do poor with Anette.

    She sings is terrible, she's just screaming.

    DON'T LETT ANETTE SING ANYMORE OLD(and best) NIGHTWISH SONGS!!She is ruining the classical old songs(wich were the best:)

  • I'm not sure, But you can have your own sentence. I like old songs with Anette. She is singing another thank Tarja, but not worse than her. Some old songs are alsko better with Anette (for example Nemo or Dark Chest Wonders and other).

  • Well, that's your opinion.

    If Anette must be in Nightwish, I prefer the new albom songs..

  • all of you, anette haters, suck! Nightwish songs are at last full of emotion! Tarja couldnt sing them with so much emotion! Anette rocks

  • have you ever seen Tarja playing "Dead Boy's Poem" live from "From Wishes to Eternity"?? That's emotional, beautiful, softr and sad, in a very deep song.

    Anette is screaming, not singing. And as you say, it's a parody...

    she's doing a hard work, but is not enough

  • horrible! and kindda funny, its like a parody ahaha.

  • Meu Deus ela acabou com a música...

  • This woman is a trash....Anette is horrible... never will reach the high notes of tarja...poor woman....

  • Poor fool -.- Anette pulls off Nightwish's older songs in a new key, new form, and beautiful new life. Get a hearing aid. (Note: I'm a fan of Nightwish with or without Tarja and with or without Anette.)

  • Annette sings this song great! Not like Tarja... but not bad at all! :)

  • i love the siren^^

    it sound great with anette

    <3 anette

  • Voglio sposare Tarja!!!!E' mia e nessuno me la deve toccare...quant'è bbona..e quanto sono grandi i Nightwish!

  • Questa non è Tarja, è Anette. Come han potuto farle cantare questa canzone?? Era fatta apposta per la voce di Tarja :,(

  • Beh.. tuomas puo fare cantare le sue canzoni a chi gli pare e piace.. visto che le scrive lui... cmq Anette fa un lavoro stupendo in questa canzone..magari gli ahiahia non sono il massimo ma gli intrammezzi con marco sono perfetti, anche meglio di quelli di tarja. La mia siren ideale dovrebbe essere cantata da entrambe! Anette per gli intramezzi e Tarja per le parti "operistiche"!

  • Sìsì, per carità, io non sono un detrattore di Anette (Passion & the opera non mi piace, ma non per colpa sua, sono proprio le canzoni che non mi sembrano ispirate)... preferisco Tarja, sono gusti personali, ma credo che alcune canzoni dei vecchi Nightwish siano state scritte apposta per il cantanto lirico-operistico... una Wishmaster cantata con voce bianca (canzone che peraltro non mi fa impazzire) suona ridicola...

  • Meglio di quelli di Tarja non direi..Con Tarja questa canzone era incantevole. Adesso non è male ma sinceramente preferisco di gran lunga l'originale, aveva una magia che non ha ora. Anette fa un buon lavoro ma rende molto meglio su altre canzoni tipo Sacrament of Wilderness

  • f*ckin' great camera!! :D

  • this version is great we should give anette a chance and be more open minded cos she s very talented and she has a very heavy burden to carry but shes proving all the haters wrong.. in the next years she'll do great!!

  • I LOVE ANETTE´S VOICE.......this song is AWESOME !

  • L O V E I T :) :)

  • aiaiaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

    hahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

  • operistic? you mean operatic? this is one of the old nightwish songs that tarja use a different way to sing. IT IS NOT OPERISTIC! uuhhh...I meant operatic!

  • That opera s**t was why I didn't like Nightwish. Now I do because they have exellent singer! This is a matter of taste, so shut up if you dont like the change. Theres nothing you can do about it. Some of us love this change!

  • Augh, I love The Siren, but the people won't SHUT UP, ALREADY!!!!

  • baddazle! this song is owned ;)

  • shit, this is a fxcking eargasm; i LOVE it. i think anette should try to do studio covers of other nightwish songs that tarja sang and we could hear anette at her best! :D

  • Yes... It would be very great:D

  • Only if it was doctored to fuck.

    ;D

  • Wow this sounds cool!

  • i belive you is wooow great

  • Are you being serious?

  • I'm just trying to see how many thumbs up I get! lol :)

  • LIES...your turning into a zombie:(

    you see this is why i have to sing Bring me to life,so i can bring you back from turning into an anette loving noting you've become haha,Im kidding!

  • Yes as soon as possible before it's too late!!!

  • This is just NOT the siren I'm used to hear, but i can only say she did great! What would you expect, that she would try the notes the even tarja sang very hard??? That woud've been plain stupid of her. Yes, i do like Tarja much better than Anette, but i can recognize a good hard-worked song when i hear one.

  • ASTAROTH619 STOP to flood my videos with your Annete sucks.. no one cares! Talk about her singing abilites or shout up!

  • Arent you just trying too hard to hate... =)

  • wrong, dear.

    I just saw Nightwish two hours ago at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, and when Anette performed...goodness she was woderful. not even 'pop' sounding at all. She sounded even better than the CD! and she had so much charisma too. at first I thought that they would never perform this song, but wow! Anette can handle it pretty well. it's nice to hear Anette's take on this song.

  • used to not like Anette too, but now I liker her.

    and you wanna know who the real wannabe sirens are?

    those siren girls that perform at the Las Vegas: Treasure Island hotel/casino. they sound way more pop than Anette, and some of their songs are terrible.

    and if you don't like it...there's still Tarja doing Nightwish covers. =)

  • she does great, I think her interpretations of the old songs are excellent, because she's adding her own touch to it, instead of trying to sound like tarja

  • Anette sing as ANGEL !!!

  • Yes You are right or in this case as A Siren

  • You know, even though I love Annette, I used to think "she should never even attempt The Siren", but I was horribly wrong. I love her versions of the "fillers" sung between the lyrics of the verses (at 0:22) much better than Tarja's version.

  • Actually I have to disagree with you, I like the fillers in between the verses Tarja did much more than Anette's, honestly I think it sounds "forced", however her background singing at the Chorus, when Marco sings, is lovely...

    PD: Im not a Tarja-holic fan that doesnt like Anette, I love them both, I love both eras, and I love this song, Tarja and Anette's version equally~

  • I am Tarjaholic but i like Anette. She puts efford in the songs, tho most of the old Nightwish songs are too hard for her.

  • Yeah, I know, I actually love them both, Im a huge Tarla-holic / Fannette. But I dislike how people ditch Anette and the new style h brought to the band, people should give her some support, shes doing her best with the old-era songs... I honestly prefer Tarja version of songs like The Siren, Wish I had an angel and Wishmaster, but I keep thinking that Anette fits NW better, I mean, they look more happy in concerts than they did with Tarja...

  • so what if she cant hit notes high as tarja, everyone is uniqe, and annete is being herself and doing her thing :}

  • Tarja sings an octive lower, for the record.

  • And please.. tell me where you hear TArja's voice in sacrament of wilderness??? It's all anette there isn't even backing vocal or choir!

  • Naaaaaaaaaaaa, a Anette le quedan grandes las canciones que cantaba Tarja, como sea en esta canción se oye forzada su voz. En el coro la idea es que de fondo se oiga el canto de sirena, y Annete como que no. Siempre van a existir comparaciones, el paquete que dejó Tarja es muy pesado para Annete, solo le queda esforzarse mas...

  • im really sick and i mean it, really,i usually don´t get this passionate when people talk stupid things about the groups that i like, but everywhere i look i see crtitizism to Anette, have the half of you people even go to a nightwish concert? i did at Mexico and i really know how does anette voice sounds live! it sounds great and mann i really get angry with comments, and YES anette changes the way tarja sang somse songs, but that is what a real artists and not an imitator does!!!

  • you're so right! :)

  • I think Anette's voice compliments Marco's very nicely.

  • ehmm, first, i think anette does a great job too!

    but, yes, in some songs they're still using tarjas background voice!

    and for those people who think, anette couldn't sing as high as tarja; just listen to first part of poet and the pendulum!!

    could YOU sing so high?

  • 1. background wasn't tarjas voice at all (as it was said, it's a choir)

    2. anette didn't sing the intro of the poet and the pendulum, two boys did

    3. anette does a great job at this song

  • two boys did? oO lol

  • They are not using Tarja's voice! It a prerecorded choir... Tarja used it too!

  • i don't like wishmaster with anette, but the other old songs like nemo, wish i had an angel or ever dream she sings very good :)

  • nop i don't think nemo is good with Anette:(

  • Anette sounds surprisingly good. Can't complain here... so tempted to buy a ticket to see them next month. Do I dare without Tarja?

  • Well..... After my opinion this is the ONLY old song which sounds good with Anette. Wishmaster sounds so bad that it's funny!!!!

  • Really? Cause the fans love Wishmaster with Anette.

  • Pfft. Riiiiight. Read the comments. And you dont know shit about NW's fanbase.

  • Dare...DARE!!!!

    DEAR GOD DARE!!!

    =]

    i really wanna see em...

    wanted to go see em at the Manchester Apollo on the 4th of April...couldn't ='[

  • She is the SIREN!

  • this song without tarja sucks!... :(

  • She actually pulled this off! Maybe even better than Tarja! :0 Sorry, Tarj, she might win this one! But good for Anette she's getting so into the old songs. <3 5/5

  • I love this song sung by anette she made it hers

  • Gee that was better than I expected, but then, Anette's voice lends itself well to that sort of "siren" sound.

  • honestly, this came out better than i expected

  • I think so too. :)

  • I agree as well.

  • I think Anette is great singer, and she manages to make her own version of this song. I admire that. :) Really great, I like new Nightwish very much.

  • I think I would like this video a lot more if it had higher quality...

    Other than that, I think it was good until the part where Tarja would sing "ah ah ah ah" and she did something kinda like she did in...Sahara, I think it is. She sounded good on the stanza beforehand though

  • It's youtube fault... the original video is better.

  • 00Rotem00. You actully believe in sirens?! Is there a Santa too?!

  • I'm ok with most other retakes on the old NW songs, but in this one it simply doesn't stick, as far as I'm concerned.

    A siren is a women who has an ethereal, soft, haunting voice.

    Anetter has a good voice, but it's none of the above. So for this songs, it pretty much missed the point for me.

  • anette has a more haunting voice then tarja for sure that has an heavy operatic voice... how boring all these comparisons are if every one have different opinions???

  • kanssasi.Played the guitar for almost 30 years so I know a little about notes. My question is,, exactlley when couldn´t she hit that F note on this video? Tell me the time and I´ll check it and come back.This is important. We don´t want people spreading shit about Anette without substance now do we?!

  • I'm guessing the ahhs in the chorus, but the only reason she doesn't go up there is because it'd go in to her hewad voice. Her bridge to her head voice probably isn't very strong so her voice would crack and ruin the atmosphere... And would sound horrible. She has just the range as Tarja she doesn't use it because it isn't as strong and Tarja would sound obvously superior.

  • I agree with you..

  • I love Anette, but I was unsure of her singing this song at first.. but I watched this and I LOVE her interpretation!

  • I love her because she doesn't try to imitate Tarja..

  • Hey, I agree!

  • that's what I'm saying!

    sheesh some 'fans' can't make up their minds these days. Do they want another Tarja-like singer and thinking that they're replacing her and trying to be like her, or someone like Anette?

    or fans could've just stolen Vibeke or Floor or Simone or whatever and tell them to sing Nightwish songs, lol

    Floor actually did it though with "She is my Sin" lol

  • its growing on me, Tarja was this strong ice cold nordic beauty, nearly perfect vocal, but i really lke what anette´s doing, it´s making nightwish warmer and easy listening, and it´s a good thing, i like how she sings different not only than tarja, but different each song, i mean, Tarja as perfect as she still is, every song was the same soft voice, powerful clasical style vibratoo etc, but anette has a deep feeling and that´s really great to hear, she´s a great performer

  • im sorry but i dont like it i hate the ya y ya y ya y ya bit she does ok on other songs not perfect but she tries, an dim sorry but these songs were made for tarja or someone trained in opera, she gave nightwish a whole new sound im ok with it but i definitely prefer tarja, nightwish wont sound the same. im not against anette though

  • I think the way she does the chants between each line and after the keyboard solo fits the song well. I don't know if it fits the actual SONG better or it fits her VOCALS better hence fits the song better because she's singing it. Either way, she's doing a good job. I don't think the videos do her vocals justice to be honest. She was amazing live last night.

  • I love her take on this song. It's eerie and beautiful.

  • AWESOME  MAGIC WONDERFUL

    Nightwish with Anette is great ! Anette sings very well !

  • I couldn't believe that Anette is this good, but now I really CAN.

    :s AWESOME !!

  • Anette can sing some old stuff like it or not. You Tarja wannabees are jealous because on some old stuff Tarja's got competition. (siren, sleeping sun, w.master, sacrament,s.i. my sin)

  • What I mean is that the songs were CLASSICALLY sung. Anette has ZERO Classical sound to her vocals yet she sang some old stuff close-to-better than Tarja herself! Sleeping Sun, Ever Dream, She Is My Sin, D.C.O.W for example. I got bored of the old version. Now whenever I come across a video of Anette's cover I HAVE to watch it no matter WHAT.

  • Tarja is the best, her voice hasn't comparation, she sing like an angel.

  • My ASS Tarja's the best. XD

  • Have you heard angels sing? :)

  • Wow. You haven't heard a dying cat then, have you?

  • I went to Antwerp gig yesterday. They palyed The Siren and it was brilliant - as was the whole concert!

  • Here's my answer: HEEEEEELLL no she did not. Those chants sound FANTASTIC with Anette's voice. Tarja's chanting sounded weak as Hell.

  • Absolutely NOT! Anette is doing this song so GREAT!

  • Yes!!! They played it last night in Amsterdam, and it was soooooo good! 5*

  • 2:28- one HELL of a difficult note and Anette SANG the HELL out of this song!!!!! Damn! I betcha her family's going like "HOLY SHIT! I'M RELATED TO HER!?! DAYUM!" XD Love Nightwish, ABSOLUTELY supports Anette.

  • i really wanna hear this in Manchester on the 4th xD

  • You're going to the Manchester concert too?

    I booked my tickets ages ago.

    I saw this video and thought the same thing as you :P

  • haha cool

    Gonna be there nice and early?

    I know I will be =D

    So excited.... 14 Days!!

  • WOW!!! This is the first time hearing Anette sing this song...its GREAT!! She sounds wonderful!!! YAY Anette!!! The siren song sounds fantastic. Anette rocked this song! And Tuomas was brilliant on that keyboard.

  • This is so amazing! I hope they will play this song in Amsterdam friday:-)

  • Goddayum! She pulled it off so well! Awesome. I'd love to hear her sing Planet Hell. It could be hella cool.

  • Really Good this Performance from anette, I like To Listen Ghost Love Score, and a re-recorded version from some songs from Century Child and Once

  • YES, DAMN IT, YES! But NOT Phantom Of The Opera, Slaying The Dreamer, Romanticide or G.L.S Other than that, YES!

  • All that you say, except Phantom of The Opera, anette can sing them because I sing like annete, with her tone or a litle bit less than anette and I Can Sing G.L.S, S.T.D, Romant.,...

  • Those backup chants are OWNED by Anette. :)

  • Anette rocks! Nightwish rocks!

  • gorgeous, that was perfect

  • Nowdays her voice never fails. Thumbs up Anette!!! You´re a duracell battery!

  • Duracell, Energizer- Anette can do it all, buddy. That's how amazing she is! WOOOOOOOO ANETTE! My SECOND favorite female vocalist. :)

  • and who's your favorite?(anette is great indeed)

  • Sarah Brightman, Anette Olzon, Liv Kristine are my 3 favorite female singers. And in that order.

  • Actually in any order. haha XD

  • Please give a version of this performance from Nightwishofficial <3

  • Great, this is better than Tarja and better than CD ! :-D Anette is Siren ! heyayayaaaa

  • Wow!!! Anette's vocals on this song are Impressive!!!

    I hope they perform this when they set foot in London, Ontario, Canada!!

    I am counting down the days!!!!

  • this is the best song from the previous albums that anette has performed

  • O,O

    I fell in love with this version of this song...

    *dies*

  • Anette sings that amazing!!!

  • amazing.... new favorite. she does a waaay better job with this than anyone would expect and its a great way to show off her skills

  • Wow! This version is so much better than the old!

    Anette's voice is perfect for this song and she did a great work in this one!

  • I agree. If it were originally sung by Annette, it would be the best song on DPP. This orientalic stuff sounds very good with her voice.
