  • i love this song this is a great performance for the new NW

  • who is that singer? It doesn't Anette Olzon.

  • @Simek666xyz That is Anette :)

  • можете меня убить,но Анька спела ее классно:)))).... я ожидала худшего...

    Annette <3!!!!:)

  • Hats off to Annette; She's getting better :)

    This performance surprised me....in a good way :D

  • Very nice

  • When she sings Time could never hold our love, I get chills... I'm pretty sure I've already written that before... BUT it's still true....

  • 3:15-3:17 <3

  • i think anettes a great singer and its good that she doesnt try to copy tarjas style, and from what ive heard her confidence and stagecraft are getting a bit better

  • One word: Evolution!

  • I'm surprised! She's getting much and much better over the time ... she works a lot to do her work, i admire Anette fot that she doesn't give up. I really like this version = ) Nightwish will always remain!

  • that was one mad night

  • <3 Anette!

  • Anette cada vez canta mejor =)

  • Anette's definitely not Tarja, but she did a very respectable job on this performance. I was pleasantly surprised.

  • I doubt that a prepared singer not to sing a song operates like GLS, CAN sing it, still more if a singer operates, tried to sing it, cantaria like the previous singer, but not and no, Annette does to its style in spite of not having operistica education, sings incredible this song, for that reason I admire to Annette

  • she is great, she isn´t an operan singer but she doing very good, i prefer anette with her style, in opera we have tarja in the last era.

    nightwish forever!

    great in madrid 16/04/08

    and great too in lorcarock agoust/08 (spain)

  • Thank you so much for this Regina! This is the best vid of Anette singing GLS, and I keep coming back to watch it. Did everyone just freak when they heard them start to play it?

    Anette did such an amazing job here, and I'm so happy to see GLS being played again. "Love and loss"...oh, makes my heart skip a beat to hear her sing that.

  • "Did everyone just freak when they heard them start to play it?"

    Yes. Yes we did. :-D

    (Personally, I never thought I'd see this live, as I only heard of NW after Anette joined. Wow, the band proved me wrong! And to hear Dead Boy's Poem and Romanticide too! Plus Escapist! What a impossibly perfect night...)

  • I'm pretty sure I screamed when I heard the first few seconds of this, and thats embarrasing 'cos I'd never do that...

    I thought exactly the same as you, that I'd never see this live, and I was scared that If I did, that Anette wouldn't do it justice. I was so glad to be proven completely wrong, she's awesome at this song.

  • @Dysentia

    Same, I was pretty sure they weren't going to play, and as soon as I heard the intro, it took a second or two for me to realise what song it was, and then I screamed and got goosebumps.

    Being an 18 year old guy I was surprised :D

  • some people really need singing theory lessons here...

    Talking about falsetos and "operatic vocals", lol.

    BTW, Anette FTW!

  • Nice sound quality dude. Very nice.

  • I love nightwish!

    I was there!

  • I now hate my dad for not taking me to this epic concert (why don't they come back to Glagow one more time?)

  • They wouldn't have been able to use the pyrotechnics in Glasgow - Brixton is twice the size of Glasgow.

    I guess it also comes down to demand and population as well. More people live in the centre of London than in the whole of Scotland plus people will be more likely to travel to London than to Glasgow unfortunately.

    I can't wait to see them in Helsinki in September with Apocalyptica as support

  • Ok, first of all, Dude, you totally suck. You get to see Nightwish AND Apocalyptica live. I am extremely envious.

    Oh yeah, and the video is awesome too. She hits the higher notes much better than she did when she first started. Cause even I'll admit that they were painful at sometimes. It's good that she learned to work with the song, to get it to where it suited her voice and range.

  • I wouldn't care about the pyrotechnics, as long as I got to see them.

    But we can just wish that they'll come back to Scotland

  • im more an anette fan than tarja, but i have to say i prefer tarjas version( it feels like the song was built round her vocals) but take nothing away from anette. she sounds ubelievable here. looks like this is the anette the guys saw she could become and this video show tuomas has pulled a masterstroke by bringing her in

  • This is absolutely amazing. Holy shit. The end. @_@

  • NIGHTWISH FOREVER

    nightwish is the best band in the world im not even kidding

  • actally she's a soprano her range is two octaves and a half exactly like tarja but in better way since she makes those notes in more delicateand emotional way

  • actually she can sing the high notes!! amazing!! I've read that actually she is a mezzosoprano singer o_O lol

  • She HAS the problem with high notes as we can hear in other songs. Good that she's found a way to cope with it and now it's almost perfect. Tarja couldn't sing it like that.

  • tarja seemed to use a lot of falsetto on the really high notes..anette seems to belt the notes out straight from the lungs.

    harder on the old vocal cords like that..

    struggling on the highs is pretty common in live metal.. the mighty bruce misses a few on maidens live after death even at the start of the gig but its still sweet

    kinda adds to the whole live feel to me if its not absolutely note perfect

  • I think exactly the opposite, Anette is singing the higher notes in falsetto, thats the way she founded to reach them without an operatic vocal technic. And I think she did it well.

    In the case of Tarja its more correct to talk about head voice and chest voice, (I think) because with an operatic technic you have almost always a similar tone from the higher to the lower notes, always stronger notes in the case of Tarja.

    Anyways, inspite of personal preferences, both are great singers!

  • ¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨

    ¨°º¤ø„¸ NIGHTWISH ¸„ø¤º°¨

  • This is AMAZING! Carry on Nightwish, carry on Anette! Don't listen to those "Tarja was better"comments! It's another dimension!

  • I met Anette before this concert and she is the sweetest angel and has the voice to match no matter what you all say. Tarja may have the better technical voice but she isn't half the lady Anette is. Anette sang her heart and soul.. Tarja just follows the old routine.

  • she could go and take some operatic style singing lessons and sing like tarja if she really wanted, but she uses a belted technique, so she projects her voice at the front and she uses completely different resonances then operatic singers, then uses all the space behind the 'masque'

  • wow...she really hit those high notes in the beginning...and was AMAZING at it.

    ha! i see them cinco de mayo! yayayayayay! <3 them.

  • And now please stop criticize Anette!

    Tarja is gone, Anette has a beautiful and different voice and she's doing a great work with old songs.

    Keep rockin' Anette!

  • I totally agree... Tarja was good but Nightwish has past the operatic period... she has her solo stuff and they have anette and whether she does new or ol songs she sounds amazing... well done Anette is all I can say

  • Fabulous! Amazing! OH MY GODDESS!

    Nightwish rocks. Period. Anette you kick ass!

  • O.o!!! She does this beautifully!

  • She does! Actually I didn't like it that much when she sings the old songs but I'm really surprised how good this sounds. She'll be fine, she's great ;-)

  • What can I say? I keep coming back to this video. GLS is an awesome song all by itself, but the way Anette sings it touches on a very personal spot deep inside of me.

    God, i love this band so much. The current setlist is amazing but if I was to judge them by the songs they can now afford to leave out...they'd still be the greatest band by a wide margin.

    I know Anette has been saddened and distressed by the criticism she received in the beginning. I just hope she reads the recent comments.

  • tbh gief album with anette singing old songs!

  • That sounds great! I'm so excited to see them in May.

  • I'm travelling from the UK to go and see the final date of their tour in Finland and I can't wait to see them again.

    I've never been to Finland before so I can't wait for that either.

  • Oh that's so cool! Have a great time.

  • Oh my God, I think I love Anette!

  • Wonderful

  • wow this video is of great quality.. youre so lucky. i wish i was there too....!!

  • This is great, she did an awesome job!!

  • does anybody know that was there this night what song it was the long red streamers shot out and tied us all up in a mass nightwish fan bondage frenzy? XDDD for the life of me I cant remember

  • poet and the pendulum

  • Think it was Nemo....or was that the bubbles? Whichever song it was, I kept some =D

  • taht usually happens during the song "The Poet and the Pendulum"

  • Lol! I remember that; people were struggling to grab the streamers and shove them into their pockets! XD

  • She's absolutely great in this song. Never thought I would become a fan of the new NW but I like it more and more. :)

  • Great! Nightwish is stronger than ever.

  • "This is on brick-shitting levels of awesomeness."

    Hahahahaha

    Couldn't have said it better.

  • She nailed this one.

    Epic song too.

  • Holy crap! Dear Nightwish: Plz do studio recording of this song w/ Anette! PLEASE!!! xDDD Srsly though I really wish they would. Such a fresh new look at the song.

  • I know I really want them to do a studio album with anette doing the old songs DX

  • Apparently they can't due to copyright issues; Tarja's stuck to their ass like an old barnacle...

  • Why would copyright issues be a problem? Tuomas is still in the band, shouldn't all the songs belong to him and be free to re-record with a different vocalist?

  • Copyrights belong to the creator of the songs, not the performer. And since Tarja did not write anything for them, I don't see how she would be "stuck to their ass like an old barnacle".

    On the contrary it would be her who would need Tuomas' permission to record any of the NW songs. For now the most she could do is to cover them live.

  • YulieAna... I agree with you and everything what you wrote is right.I make music so I know that's the way how it goes.

  • Im saving for the show in Helsinki in September

  • I have too. I've got tix booked and now just looking for best deals on flights and accommodation

  • unfortunately reality of financial concerns dictates I will not be able to get to Finland in time. I make only 1700 Canadian a month and with the Euro being like 1.36 Canadian the conversion rate would murder me not to mention in September the flight to Helsinki is 1100 and the I would need hotel money, etc, just not gonna happen but ill have awesome YouTube clips to watch

  • The only reason I have managed it is that I started saving up last April or May.

  • Thank you so much for uploading this excellent sound quality video. <3

  • This was one of the best gigs I've ever been too!

  • Erasing Targa Imagen I like that........ is just the begining..... and the past.... but the present is there............ The future is....... Nigthwish whit Anette.

  • What I believe is the best with this video is that Anette´s not making a big deal out of it! Here´s "GHOST LOVE SCORE" and she just stands there concentrated and cool. Not acting like " oh, we have a big suprise for you tonight ". For her it´s just a Nightwish song , after all she´s the Nightwish singer and sings Nightwish songs.

  • Nightwish 4-Ever!!!!

  • I knew Anette had potential when I first saw and met her. She's come a long way, and I'm happy to see her performing this amazing song.

  • soooo pissed i missed tht all coz i had a stupid dance exam grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! this is amazing

  • Take THAT, haters!

  • lovely song.

    Anette so nice =)

    see you tomorrow evening <3

  • Excuse me while I pick my jaw back up off the floor. As a Tarja fan, I'll say this, Anette, your accepted! You nailed this song. Keep it up! You're starting to show just how amazing you're voice really is.

  • THIS is a smart person. 100% respect

  • Oh my God...I'm sitting here with my mouth hanging open, in awe, and tears in my eyes. She NAILED IT!!! They need to take breaks WAY more often, if this is what comes from them when they do. Rest all you want, Anette, and keep singing in your angelic ways. We'll be here.

  • totally agree, great post mate!

  • I was meant to have been going, and missed it :( Can't wait for the next tour, this is 1 song I'd give ANYTHING to see so it's amazing they're playing it live again :D

  • I WAS FUCKING TTHERE :D one of my fave songs.. i brought confetti home with me :D it all fell on my head lol i was at the front of circle

  • This was just amazing... I had to take some of the confetti home with me just to prove to my self that i wasn't dreaming... just amazing...

  • Nightwish is the best <3

  • she's singing like an angel..oh my fucking god, sometimes i think how music of this band can sounds always so good and perfect..They are genious...You can looking for better bands, but you will never find it from symphonic metal because Nightwish owns it <3 good example is Within temptation...It's just okey or good, but Nightwish is my god. i'm so happy we have this band in this world...so great, so awesome. ^^

  • I agree, other symphonic metal bands don't have the same magic Nightwish does... Nightwish did it first and Nightwish did it best.

  • This was the most amazing gig! I have to keep pinching myself to believe that I was there. Absolute perfection from start to finish.

    NIGHTWISH FOREVER!!!

  • The Tarja purests are going to piss all over this me being a Tarja purest I would know. But I have to say Annete just made this song her own and she prooved to me she is capable although I still love and miss Tarja and see her as the better singer Annete just kicked my ass with this song

  • 100% respect for admitting it.

  • Beautiful when I was there and just as beautiful now. Nightwish forever, Anette forever

  • time to never hold our love

    new twangy melody. bloody awesome. might have had a little cry. maybe.

  • No words...Just awsome

  • I was there and it was fantastic, so much more spectacular than last years Astoria gig which was my first time of seeing them live. Love Annettes brilliant version of this song

  • Great quality, epic song, wonderful interpretation... I love Anette <3

  • This is so beautiful. I've watched this video about a dozen times now and the first couple of times I couldn't keep myself from crying.

    I've seen them live in Rotterdam last week and she was equally impressive. There is some depth, texture, color in her voice that Tarja was missing.

    Annette is such a brave woman. Taking on this job with Nightwish and enduring all that harsh criticism to show now, finally and triumphantly, that all her critics were wrong.

  • Anette RLZ! I love this version, good job!

  • I always have loved tarja, but i love annette too, i think annette isn't bad at all

    i miss tarja but annette gives life to nightwish and she's so fresh!

    Ghost Love Score rocks!

  • I agree with you.I like Tarja too but Anette gives a new tone to this old NW song.Nightwish Rocks!

  • those first 2 mins are the best .

    they are just like wow. i wish i could just go back to the concert and pause at that the sight of the the words flying out of her mouth . i have never herd of something as beautiful and amazing as this ... is just wow

  • i so depressed... hahaha. they didnt play this song when I saw them live its my all time favorite!!!! Annette did a great job with this!

  • i know that nightwish are now playing ghost love score, the escapist, dead boys poem and romanticide. does anyone know if they are playing any other songs that they didnt play in their 2008 tour??

  • I Can't Stop Watching!!! xD!...

    Is really catching the way she says "My fall will be for you"... I don't know why, but I feel like a solemnity of her part everytime I hear she... It's just... really touching...

    I Love This Performance!!!

  • I honestly Really like anette more than Tarja, She's Improved a million times, It was anette that got me into Nightwish, and I've always though she wouldn't handle some of the older songs as well, but she's nailing them and making them at least just as awesome If not better IMO Anette FTW!!!!!!

  • this is really really good

  • good job annette...awesome job

  • WOW!..the chorus gives me chills. :D I'm so pissed i missed this gig :(

  • I can't believe how anette has improved her voice! o_o and specially for this song, which i think is very difficult for her to sing since she's not a soprano... but she sounds excellent! I'd been wondering whether they would play this again live or not, but well, here is the answer... just AMAZING **

  • just can't help saying that this song rulz wether it's singed by anette or not *-*

  • This is on brick-shitting levels of awesomeness.

  • Also, continuing from my other comment...

    I love the strong base and all that... But it's a tiiiiiiny tiny bit to much in certain parts of the song were I would've liked to hear Anette sing instead of the base...

  • Now, this might just be myself... But it seems as if she trips over some of the lyrics... I adore the version, but when she has the lyrcis done in her head, then the song will be more amazing than ig was now...

    I'm gonna run over to check out DBP, because this one and DBP are the two songs that I didn't want Anette to sing... But she did this one amazing so I'm hoping she'll do DBP the same way...

  • Are they still performing The poet and the pendulum?

  • yeah but it appears they dropped Bye Bye which is shame cause thats one of my favorites but to have it replaced with these epic tunes cancels it out

  • wow, amazing! Really, she's been improving so much, congrats anette

  • Comment removed

  • this was sooo good!

  • omg it made me cry and i NEVER cry! it was so amazing! She puts so much emotion! Love her!

  • Oh my god the 'love and loss' part around 3:16 gave me the chills. Amazing. GLS is like in my personal top three of all NW songs and, dear God, it has been Annette-fied perfectly. I mean, the progress the woman's been making can be described as nothing but honestly remarkable. Respect.

  • forget NW songs, this is in my top 5 songs of musical perfection of all time...I hate to say it but i think i prefer this to the End of An Era version, even the confetti launch is more epic here

  • "MS Anette Olzon made this song hers!"

    TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    perfecto! perfecto! perfecto! no tengo mas q decir!!!!!

  • speechless

    i always accepted anette but in my opinion, tarja was always better. but that sounds definitly awesome! you see-it's always good to give people a chance!

    wtf, i used the word ''always'' a bit often^^

  • OMG!Breathtaking!Ghost Love Score is my-all time favorite Nightwish song...never thought it will play it with Anette!But they did!And this version sounds amaizing!Anette is getting better and better!<3 her!

  • her vibrato is just brilliant - i hate the way tarja could never do that well - its the missing part, it just shows pure control i love it :)

    i dont think i'll ever feel the way i did when i saw this - first the SHOCK of it coming on and i think i had tears the whole way through - and i cant imagine how happy tuomas must have felt to play it !!!

  • I think this is one of the best songs Anette ever sang^^

  • Wow, this is so brilliant! All Anette haters have to hear that song and after they have nothing left to say against her!

  • Apples and oranges. Ms. Olzon made this song hers! Bravo!

  • Anette is great and she gets better everytime she performs :)

    Tuomas made a really good decision when he chose her

    Go Nightwish and Anette!

  • OMGGGGG Speechless :D Just LOVE IT!! I MUST see them again!!

  • They played this song! I can't believe this! I knew she would make an excellent job here! Full of emotion, full of passion. No joking, I almost cried the for the entire song. GO NIGHTWISH!!

  • My gosh, likewise.

    I was just having a little bit too much fun to cry though... :)

  • never tought i´d listen tht song live again T_T

    tears and shivers luv that song

    alost close to beat the end of an era version, and actualy, her voice sounds a lot like the once version

  • This is awesome... This made me very happy. :D

    I mean... who would have thought... Wow, just wow!

  • Anette is so fantastic!

    The passion as 13grunt27 said is remarcable!

    Hope they come to Norway! :D :D :D

    I'd be first in line!

  • man anette is so damn beautifull and i like this new version a lot .

  • oh she just gets better + better! <33

  • I think this mm shows have more metal songs that the others, I like thanks tuomas for play old nw's songs!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • she has definitely taken some lessons in this breaktime

    2 days, 2 days, 2 days ^^

  • Wow. Just gorgeous. Still, the operatic style to it was other-worldly. But this is really nice.

  • I'm amazed. This rocks.

  • This sounds really great ! Good job !

  • holy hell sooooooooooooooo amazing

  • ive got chills, omg I love her

  • Thank you SO MUCH for these videos cornixregina, seriously. They're really amazing. I'm just sitting here going through all of them from that night to relive the amazingness <3

    Long live Nightwish.

  • Thanks for such a great video to preserve the memories - I was there - just amazing! :)

    It didn't even hit me what song it was when they started, I was just in disbelief - never expected them to play it, I asked the person I went with to pinch me just to make sure. :D

  • what a helll!!!she's amazing....

  • She sounds so beautiful ...

  • Love Anette's interpretation of the old songs - this is great!

  • Awesome! What happened with the mic in the end? It seems to have been cut out for some time... I was really getting into it...

  • it 's surprising how many times ive watched this now, i wonder if people are finally going to accept anette in the band after hearing this now :)

  • many thanks, cornixregina )

  • I DECLARE MARCH 11th AN EPIC NIGHTWISH HOLIDAY !!!!!!!

    it marks one of the most AMAZING Nightwish comeback concerts ever!!(so far)!! ;]

    WHO'S WITH ME!!!!! =D

  • yeah! i was there. i don't like her that much until that day. i was amazed on her performance coz i don't expect a lot from her. she getting better & better. the progress is amazing .. respect!!!

  • Hooooly crap!!!! That was amazing. I had chills running through my body the whole time. I had enormous goosebumps (i'm not kidding I was trying to find a camera to take a pic of em lmao).

    Awesome job anette!

  • Wow. That's all I can say - just wow....

  • haha you can see my headdXD fuck me anette was good

  • This was really nice...

    I knew that this song was situable for Anette, I always imagined how it would sound, but, I was wrong, because it sounds thousand times better than i could imagine!!!

    Go Nightwish!!!

  • The start was a little shaky, but oh my fucking God, the rest was incredible, the choruses in particular, she sounded amazingly good. Never in a million years thought I would hear Nightwish play this live again, but holy shit, this is one of the best old era songs I've heard her do.

  • Fuck me!

    She sounds like a completely different person!

    I'm speechless...

  • awesome <33
