Tarja - Warm Up Concerts 2007 - Damned and divine

[Marshallsatten]

Tarjs's what got me interested in Nightwish anyway.

[Voitcu]

Wow, i dont believe it ! Finally a Tarja video without the added boohoo commments over those notalents nightwish. its about time Tarja gets her own recognition & just deserves. Afterall,She has more than proved her worth through the years of shere perfection, show after show. Simply incredible.

[Marshallsatten]

@Voitcu I agree 100%. She is a power unto her own.

[MrNakhrul]

Happy birthday, Tarja!

[yubitzica007]

piata mare,sibiu.can't.wait.

[chopantura]

TARJA - this word tells everything

[Igloofucker]

This one is the version on my copy of My Winter Storm!

[Andreawtf1]

so so so so so but so beautiful Tarja *-*

[37herve]

Tarja: not much damned, above all really divine.

[darkqart]

Epica with Tarja??? I don't think so.... Never!! She is beautiful angel and she is the best - SOLO!!!!

[Igloofucker]

@darkqart But it would be neat hearing Simone's voice with Tarja's. I would actually love to hear that.

[mim1800]

love you

[TheLordblade23]

she head bangs good and wind mills good she should do it more often and is damn fine and has a amazing voice

[Marshallsatten]

I believe that Tarja is one of Simone's inspirations.

[alexhan6]

who is Simone?

[Marshallsatten]

@alexhan6 I believe she is the singer of Epica.

[SiempreContenco]

DVD's name *_*¿?

[ComaLies225]

Shut the fuck up about Simone, it's only the gothic metal and symphonic metal genre's fan base that have lame comparisons like this. I like both but keep the topic related to the topic.

By the way, I'm curious, what is the meaning of the title: Warm up concerts? Warm up is used as a term to get oneself ready before an event and, but here is Tarja performing far from warming up. Or am I just reading too much into this? Would love to hear what some of you think.

[ainumahtar]

@ComaLies225 Actually I think this stupidity does not limit itself to the genres you mentioned. Don't underestimate mankind's fascination with being right and arguing about stupid shit nobody cares about.

[ralphj1950]

@ComaLies225 Just a guess, but maybe this is a dress rehersal in preparation for a concert tour.

[Marshallsatten]

I love the mix of classical and metal. They are both dramatic.

[sukinogaara]

i love tarja , you are extraodinary

[elmagnate13]

Uuuuufff bueno!

[Omnignosis]

This song kicks ass live! Whoa. I heard the album version and its really way too "soft."

This version is much better!

[1hiir]

Hey.

Can anybody tell me,Is this "Warm Up Concert 2007" on dvd too,to buy it ?

[misslauwtjuh]

No it isn't on DVD, it was free to download on Tarja's website a few years ago, as a little present for the fans.

[thespiritmage]

Was this the same live version that appeared on 'My Winter Storm'?

[misslauwtjuh]

Yeah, it's the same version. It's on The Seer EP and on the My Winter Storm extended limited edition CD's. (:

[TheSimdaxxx]

This way of this song is just perfect... I love you Tarja *in love*

[misslauwtjuh]

I love you Tarja,

your voice is the air I breathe,

I'll be your fan forever! <3

Great song & Perfect performance!

[RomanowRomanow1]

now who's got a boner looking at her ? I do...

[MaleSopranoNick]

RomanowRomanow1 you are an asshole

[Oraenxienael]

I heard the album version, but I like this one WAY better.

[LaraEmEx]

Awesome, just awesome! I love the live version! Hell I love all her live versions!

[ozzycrazydude]

yeaaaaaaaaaah igual q en mexico!!! a wueso!!!

[cristiantitaniorange]

i love nightwish

[misslauwtjuh]

I love nightwish too, but this is Tarja's solo. not nightwish! Nightwish lost their angel when they fired Tarja.

[misslauwtjuh]

well obviously I don't agree with you, but like you said, it's a matter of opinion, so if you like it, listen to it.

;)

[demeterlol]

@misslauwtjuh Wait a second, Tarja was fired? That's NOT fair!!!!!!!!!!

[demeterlol]

@misslauwtjuh Wait a second, Tarja was fired? That's NOT fair!!!!!!!

[Marshallsatten]

@demeterlol To me, it's worse for Nightwish, because I'm still buying and listening to Tarja songs. I've pretty much lost interest in Nightwish.

[sadeyedangel]

F'n tight! Her musicians are awesome.

[komorli]

This is the first time I've heard this song live and HOLY CRAP! I wasn't expecting such a bombastic performance! I love it!!! You can always guarantee a fantastic live performance from her.

[cmccmc1001]

Eu adoro essa musica mesmo ao vivo a voz dela é perfeita!!!!

[plasmajakl]

she needs to go back to nightwish

[marcelovesrock]

please shut up...she is gorgeous

[OtisGreen]

Doug Wimbish (bass guitar) raises any/all bands to a higher level.

[Vegannibal]

Personally I think this is better than when she was with NW. I think it's way more musically original and the atmosphere is completely BA. This song is amazing, it's one of my favorites from her.

[ArrSee]

YES! This is definitely one of my favorite songs by her. Glad I get to finally see it live!

[marcelovesrock]

i would see her on may 16 here in mexico:)

[bachylang]

I have this CD in my car stereo and have been listening to it over and over (except for tracks 8,11,18) -- and it's still addicting! She sounds much better in the CD than here.

[Magician12345]

aw dude you dont like oasis? dats a killer song dude!

[amy26250305]

Tarja just perfect

[Magician12345]

i know isnt she....(drools blissfully)

[arclight777]

FIRST Loose THE STRINGs & acustic player SECTION ( NO OFFENCE) Tarja, you may have this band by the balls, there maybe the weakness, this band lacks your former bands____________. You guesed it. Opera...it is good in doses. Look, we all know you can sing ( what ever you want really), can you mesh again? "Warm Up Concerts" is just the start, I see good things.

=) what was that posion song, seems like I have heard that before

[scott2008]

It's a cover of Alice Cooper. >.>

[mattandcrista]

I'm a new fan

Beautiful voice and  unique style

Love it

[Eturnal718]

BIG DEAL!!! it doesnt make a DAMN difference who wrote her songs!!! what matters is that she performs them well!!! people say anything to pick at Tarja but in the end she can still sing better than any female vocalist on stage!!! It doesnt matter how she dresses either just listen to her sing and enjoy it!!!

Tarja fan for life!!!

[BrandonHarami]

you're arguing with pure opinion.

you fail.

in my opinion, simone simmons is the best female singer out there.

doesn't make it fact.

the fact of the matter is, tarja did not write her own music.

in fact, she said herself she wasn't even interested in metal.

which makes me wonder why her album sounds like a nightwish wannabe?

album sales.

[Eturnal718]

And once again it doesnt make a damn difference who wrote her songs!!! And Yes I realize the only song on My Winter Storm that she wrote was Oasis but the point is when she sings a song regardless of who wrote it she makes it her own by performing well and thats a fact or else you wouldnt be here watching her perform so you just failed to prove your own point. You should spend less time criticizing and more time listening because my winter storm was a good album. you dont like it too bad!!!

[Magician12345]

its not a big deal that a singer didnt write the song he/she's singing. come on no one insults actors cus they didnt write the lines they perform.

[Vegannibal]

No way Magician12345 - I think songwriting is incredibly important (I may be saying that because I'm biased as a singer/songwriter and I see the connection). However Tarja also writes music and sings it :)

[Magician12345]

ya i agree its important. i just said that cus people think its bs when a singer has someone write songs for em.

[Vegannibal]

Hehe I've been guilty of thinking that too. But yes I agree too, when a song fits a singer then they should sing it. Like when Toumas wrote those awesome songs for NW, they were written specifically because Tarja was in the band and those were the vocals he was writing for. So, without her vocals, those songs would not have existed anyways (I'm not hating on the girl personally, but if Anette was the original singer, I doubt he would have written those songs for her to sing).

[inukikyo89]

BrandonHarami, Tarja wrote songs on What Lies Beneath, and technically, Tarja sings better than Simone. There's no need to bring her into this. Tarja wins.

[BrandonHarami]

It's all a matter of opinion mefriend, who sings better. Don't forget that. A million people, even more, would argue their favorite singer sings better,

Tarja is AMAZING. I met her. I saw her front row. She wrote one song on her debut. And yet you defend her by saying she wrote songs on her new album, which hasn't even being released yet? That's rather stupid.

BTW. Tarja is a very awesome and nice person face to face. :)

[inukikyo89]

@BrandonHarami

It's stupid to say she wrote songs on What Lies Beneath? She did. That's not dumb.

It's not a matter of opinion who sings better. Tarja can do more vocally, and she's better overall.

[inukikyo89]

@BrandonHarami

Tarja never said she was uninterested in metal, either. She never had intentions of going into metal, but Nightwish changed that.

Tarja is a classical and a metal singer. She has stated there was no reason to go right back to classical after Nightwish, because she enjoyed both styles.

[1p0]

lol Tarja DOES NOT need Nightwish. Shes even better by herself!

[Cyndane]

wth, she's starting to dress like Anette now

[malicebaby]

looks better on tarja tho

[nachowithin]

This one is not Damned and Divine; it's a bonustrack called "Damned Vampires and Gothic Divine".

Damned and Divine has no guitars.

[dragonkingtim]

Wrong the bonus is excerting bass and gutars more then Damned and Divine.

[Rowina18]

Holy words, friend! *__*

[Subit5xk]

I consider the song "Damned and Divine" a real masterpiece

[DarkPassionPlaay]

half the songs she sings at this concert isnt written by her.

[Cyndane]

it's true, most of the songs on her My Winter Storm were written by other people. the only song that Tarja wrote by herself is Oasis. so stop thumbing down and accept the truth, you super sensitive Tarjaholics.

[lasseforsure]

True, but does that mean that every musician who doesn't write music suck? That includes 3 members of Nightwish for example. She'll write more own material to her second album. Grow up and don't spin on useless topics.

[Magician12345]

ya cyndane i always knew that, i still think she's awsome.

[agominator]

its good but she screams so much

[OldNightwishRules]

Not nearly like anette.

[wish0of0angel]

happy birhday tarja :D

[2amelle9]

Oh I hope that I will listen it in Bratislava I want to go there on her concert I love you Tarja....!!!!

[bobyken1]

she's hitting it from behind after she headbangs

[Marcinkiw2]

I don't like the heavier version.

The guitars ruin the chorus IMO. It's perfect without them.

Love the song on the CD though :)

[vampiressedna9]

WOW!!! I love her clothes!!!

[PRcheerwt]

I don't like this outfit...it's too...anette looking to me.

[creidhe]

she had it before anette...

[Titti0913]

Her clothes are great:D But not those, what she worn in NW concerts. But these:D

[SleepingWinter]

this is much better than the one in the cd!

but who is the girl that sometimes sings with tarja... is she an opera singer too or not???

[Rowina18]

I don't know but I think so.

She is doing backing vocals live -no backing vocals recorded at her concerts, that's great *__*- so I think she's an opera singer too.

[NightDreamer88]

By her own words she's "classicaly trained singer".

With a very unique own style,I would say.

You can't just throw any calssical singer on a stage with a metal band(like her and NW),and expect miracles.

But she did it...in a freakin' amazing way!

[Magician12345]

ah! love this song! and she looks ever-so lovely with that trashbag on! to bad she's not singing to a banana like she did in end of an era with nightwish.

[DarkPassionPlaay]

you're funny=D

[Magician12345]

i think this is my favorite song on the album

[josiahhanson]

Doea anyone have the higher quality version that was available on Tarja's site on 5-15? I only got the first 30 minutes before the download was cut off. Thanx if you can help.

[creidhe]

I like this heavier version....

It's perfect for concerts... while the cd is perfect for cd...

[pedroxixi]

perfect.....

tarja is magical...

[NightwishSteffi15]

it sounds great with guitars. Its al little mit more heavier!!!

.cheers.

[Marcinkiw2]

Damned and Divine is my favourite song on the album, but I really don't like this version, with guitars...

They make it too complicated I think.

Good performance though, apart fromt he guitars.

[PrettyRockerBoy]

It sounds a little more like they're doing Damned Vampire & Gothic divine.. But then again, almost the same, just a little heavyer..

[Raverine1013]

This song is amazing!! I love it!

[Limetka]

Love this version! Tarja´s much better live than in studio. Also Ciaran´s well live version is much better than that recorded in studio.

Her voice is so amazing

[MrPig]

damn it!

"mws" doesn`t live my playlist..

and spacially this song...

a kind of dark atmosphere never seen in nightwish

new and awesome

great!

[slayedDreamer]

Love Love Love!

[AwesomeRickyC]

Not my favourite song on the album but im totally loving this live version :D

Tarja live always equals or is better than the recorded album versions!

[amy26250305]

i love this song!!! tarja is great

[irasneith]

She's perfect from any points of view...and singing ..that make her a goddess...

Greatings from Romania...

[ReginaBiancaneve]

she's the best <3

[squall3492]

Tarja rocks so much she's a goddess!!!!! The best singer ever!!!

And Maria, Alex and Doug rock too ^^

[steadyeye]

You´re divine Tarja,forget "damned".

[evanescencesp]

Tarja = ultimate goddess!!!

WE LOVE YOU!!

[camerama]

increiudlbeee!!

go ahead tarja you are the best!

[Biopapst]

That's simply the best description for her. Damned by many but incredible divine!

[RockyWaist]

Great voice! I like this better than the new NW stuff. I bought My Winter Storm and the single CDs too (don't want the new NW CD and never will).

[deepsilentcomplete]

You said it, my friend!

[lauandastarbreeze]

Great voice...oh yeah, she is only a great voice. But listen to the music, and look at the lyrics. Nightwish was pure poetry, and it is untill now.

[eliadus]

exactly same thing for me ^^

this song is the first in my top 3 :p (second is oasis and third is ciaran's well)

[Susannegirl]

Tarja Turunen is FANTASTIC!!! The is the best! <3

[andreaperini]

Damned and Divine??? [LOL LOL LOL]

Damned and fired!,..NW rocks!

And those gloves sucks big time!!

[TarjaIsMyGoddess]

Great!

[veronightwish]

me encanta ese traje, pero las piernas al descubierto le quedan mejor :P
