  • every part of the song that Anette can't sing (and which was incredible when sung by Tarja btw) she's turning into ayayayay and that's just...sad. and boring.

  • im a tarja fan but i actually prefer anette's version of the siren

  • Overworked & underfucked!

  • She is killing the song. Just too bad...

  • I'm a fan of Tarja, but I like Anette too. She does have a beautiful, clean voice, has a great attitude and does her job well (I imagine it must be quite difficult to adapt to her voice songs that were made to an operatic singer). Yeah I get sad too that the band I loved so much is not the same, but come on people, let's grow up...

  • @ultraviolentgeisha I agree :) by the way, what did you think about the new album?

  • @nightwish22893 I wasn't expecting anything from the album, and when I listened... I had a big surprise! Very consistent, mature, atmospheric... it makes me imagine a thousand things :) Also, the songs are really appropriate to Anette, allowing her to show how powerful her voice can be.

  • aiaiaiaiaiaiaia slut .i.

  • She's just amazing.

  • @HisLastAle Very funny Mr Troll

  • Anette is the most beautiful and talented woman in the world. I really do not care what all these random people online say, and she should not either. If you know anything about tone and pitch, you would know Anette does it better than Tarja. Yes, Tarja has amazing vibrato and an opera style which goes great with symphonic metal, but in actuality if you listen to her live, she often misses notes. Anette on the other hand is a more technical singer.

  • @Makousen All you hear is her pop style versus Tarja's opera style, and that is unfair to compare. But since you did, I did too. And the truth is that Anette is more talented and I can guarantee makes adjustments to her voice to get it just right, where Tarja thinks everybody should just go with the flow, along with her voice which is an entire octet off.

  • @Makousen Opinions. I don't like new Nightwish, but I don't blame anyone if they like Anetter nor I say that Anette sucks! She's not good for Tarja era songs in my opinion, they have a different voice! But instead of bitching, I just follow Tarja with her solo career and I definitely give a try to new songs by Nightwish but it's not my style ;)

    Anyway, I saw Tarja some weeks ago in Greece! She's....from another world! FANTASTIC!

  • like how anette brings her own style to this song :D

  • I ♥ Nightwish

  • Anette Olzon ♥

  • no mames le dio en la madre a esta kancion osea anett es buena pero tarja es mejor parece ke esta pujandono hay komparacion tarja le ponia mas sentimiento a esta kancion

  • se pasaron de verga

    jajajajajaja a no mames

  • this is so sad... my ears are bleading

  • suffocating the cat. yep. that would do. Is really anybody not totally deaf enjoying this??? If it was just Marco it would be way better

  • Oh nooo not again Anette trying to sing what she cant manage and live. I would really really like to enjoy Nightwish live again. Anette is fine with her own songs in the studio its not Tarja but I can listen to it music is still great and Marco does help a lot God bless him for it. But live I tried it once and it was hurting my ears too much. That high pitch screaming of hers... Nope. Couldnt be bothered to go again and have the same experience. With a new singer. Will wait. Have to. No option.

  • i see a black kid(NOT RACIST) recording it

  • me gusta mucho esta version es muy distinta, lo que la hace original, anette me gusta mucho de echo, soy muy fan de ella! me encanta esta version, la verdad muy distinta pero muy buena, si algunos les gusta tarja, vayanse con tarja, a los 222 que les gusta nos quedamos con anette por que simplemente tenemos oido para aceptar a anette, bueno, que queda para decir? a mi me gusta mucho y si sos retarjado, andate con tarja y no jodas a los que les gusta nightwish actual ;)

  • woww she belted way too hard, I could barely hear marco

  • Cosas como estas hacen odiarla ¬¬*

    (aunque no sea su culpa sino del cabron de Toumas)

  • EPIC FAIL ( heeeey ai ai aaaaaaaaaa :(((

  • @DeePPurPleLemoN ur an epic fail

  • To all Annette haters:... go. just go. nobody likes you.

  • Lol, all the people bitching about Anette - Tarja has been gone for yeaaars and she's not coming back. She gas her own solo career, go follow that. That being said, Tarja never was the source of Nightwish. Tuomas is. Always has been. This was never Tarja's song because she didn't write it. Therefore, Anette has every right to sing it too. If Anette is good enough for the band members themselves, then why can't you, their fans, respect that? It's not like they picked her on impulse.

  • Anette is the best, if you don't like just don't listen to her and shut up

  • its like im on a very bad karaoke show ....

  • :((((

  • A lot of people are just stuck on Tarja. I LOVED Tarja, don't get me wrong, but Annette is also a very talented musician, and you can't deny that. Of course the song sounds different. It's HER version. You can like it or leave it. But don't put her down just because she's different.

  • 1:06 WAT?:|

  • @skrzysbb oh come on, its cute. her voice is ok and she did this song nicely. u cant say she ruined the song cus she didnt. this and sacrament of wilderness is what she can sing and not ruin.

  • @Hijetala IMO she killed this song.

  • @skrzysbb well i dont say its exellent, but its not as bad as some of the old songs she did. slaying the dreamer and nemo sound like ur suffocating the cat. so comparing to that this came out rally nice and i like it. not as much as tarja's version, but its ok.

  • Anette absolutely raped it.

    I love this song, but this is just horrible.

    Not temptive at all.

  • Anette is a godness.

  • Go Annette, I love you so much, wonderful singer <3 ! Always smiling and kind, singing with such emotion and nice spirit and effects, even on songs that weren't written for her voice in the first place. I hope so much I can see them next year...

  • Surprisingly good. I dont like Anette, but she sings this song well.

  • Just I love 2:33 to 2:43 ♥

  • The thing that annoys me the most is Anette dosen't sing the songs with any appreciation for the beautiful music. She butchers them, but she dosen't give a shit. Yeah, this is Nightwish - but not the TRUE Nightwish.

  • @nightwishislife24 well the band wouldnt perform them if they didnt practice and enjoy it

  • i find it amusing anette haters still commenting even though it been well over since she joined and doing another album with nightwish. acting like a child with its bottle taken away isnt gonna get your precious tarja back. either anette haters either grow up and stop watching or live like a hermit if thats too much

  • Comment removed

  • what the f*ck is she doin with her hair.....big headbang FAIL.....

  • wait..it is annette wahaha xd

    big fail.....

  • who's that girl??? first you got tarje, than annette....but who's she?

  • 1:40 - "Man, I'm so happy I'm here to see Tarj... What?! WTF is this?!"

  • Should change the name of the band .....this is not Nightwish....This is NIGHTMARE...... OUAOUAOUA......MY GOD.....!!!

  • I have again listened to Tarja´s Siren. She sings hoh-hoh hoh-hooh-ooh in an abrupt way. These abrupt sounds fit better as a warning than a temptation.

    Anette sings hay-yay-yay-yaah in a soft way. Her interpretation shows intelligence, she has pondered how a siren might sound to lure seamen and sings accordingly, she hasn´t copied Tarja.

    There are better versions of Anette´s Siren than Lowlands, e.g. Hartwall 2009 with a virtuoso guitarist Pekka Kuusisto playing live.

  • @MetalHeel479 hahhaahah anette voice and temptation???? I think if the greek had heard a siren like anette instead of being tempted they wouldhave thrown themselves into the sea1! haahahahahahhaha

  • @IvanTsarina The choir makes the most siren-like voice on The Siren, but there is no point of the female vocalists to mimic the choir.

    Composing and interpreting a song isn´t only artistic but also intellectual work. Most of Tarja´s interpretations are good. On Siren she hasn´t analysed the song, her hoh-hoh´s and ay-yaah´s are some operatic stuff which don´t sound alluring. I have given different meanings to those sounds elsewhere (End of An Era) to make Tarja´s Siren more palatable for me.

  • Dislike this version, with Anette, isn't personal but it sucks, she's screamin' not singing

  • Why isn't tarja in the band anymore?

  • hát akárki akármit mond ez nagyon is jó... ha én tudnék énekelni tuti ezt a verziót nyomatnám

  • anette rules???? Hahahahhahaha fucking stupid deaf people hahaha gosh she sucks, this is soo lamee hahahahaha "AyAyAyAAAA AYAYAyaaa" hahhahahahahahahhahahaha xD

  • 1000000000000000000000000% FAIL. Why perform the old songs? Tuomas wrote the old songs to fit Tarja's beautiful, operatic voice and when he wrote the new songs they were to fit a pop singer like Anette. honestly, why fuck old songs up when you have a wide range of new ones to perform? 1:06 - 1:14 I have lost the will to live

  • @ParamoreRocks20 seriously your name is paramorerocks but you think annete is a pop singer?!?thats what i call fail

  • All you fail to realize that songs with oriental mood cannot be sang in operatic way such as Tarja sings,you're al just narrow minded assholes that don't give anyone else a chance...Anette sings this song so fucking much better than Tarja ever will,get it over already...Tarja doesn't even sing very well opera. NW was never about Tarja you morons it was about music and lyrics.

    And for the fact,not everyone needs to know how to sing operatic way...may of you can't either lol

  • Comment removed

  • @MetalHeel479 Yeah but Tarja maniacs just don't want that to get in their ears not by any chance...I don't understand how someone cannot realize that sometimes music is about changes and new things...Anette sings this fantastic! 1:06 what she does there is amazing and fits the song perfectly! ...and thank you for noticing this as well I might now just hug you lol

  • Comment removed

  • @TheDevilHerslef In addition, Tarja´s Siren contains moaning-like, scary singing starting at about 2:20-2:40 which Anette luckily doesn´t copy. In my imagination a siren singing in this way would drive away seamen instead of luring them. Marco´s wailing singing fits truly well in Siren.

  • funny how she has to sing parts of the song differently simply because she can't perform the high notes needed. or maybe it's just sad. yep it's sad.

  • She has a 5 head

  • that black boy at 1:51 left his phone call bacause he was like; WHAT THE HOLY FUCK?

  • @EvanescentSoul31 my god ! It is an entity YaBB!

  • @EvanescentSoul31 I don't think so... :D

  • Omfg, stop the freaking whining about the Annette/Tarja stuff. Listen to the things you like, don't hate on the things other people like.

  • @Syndaster shut up

  • ALL TARIJA FANS SHOULD MAKE ONE BIG HOLE AND ALL OF THEM JUMP IN IT,THEN BURN THEM ALL BECAUSE THEY ARE SO STUPID!!!!!!!ANETTE RULES!!!!!

  • "Overworked and underfucked" haha, isn't he married? It's hard being on tour though, the life of an amazing artist.

  • I think if Tuomas thought that Anette would butcher the song, then he wouldn't have let her to perform it at all. But in my opinion both Tarja and Anette do a great job on this song. Both have a different interpretation on singing it but it is essential still the same song.

  • me encanta anette me re copa esta versionnnnn grrrrr

  • the anette version is better... in my personal opinion..... fuck tarja now its singing whitesnake?? wtf ... whoever nightwish rules

  • 133 retards -.-'

  • All you Tarja fans should jump in a hole and die. : /

  • Amanda sommerville is better than her!

  • @angelsdoweep Amanda Sommerville is a goddess =)

    

  • Anette fans, stop devaluing Tarja. Tarja fans, stop devaluing Anette.  They are both talented, good vocalists for the band. It would be nice if I could look at the comment board for a single Nightwish song without seeing it filled with insults.

  • annete rules i love you annete

  • FAIL

    

  • All the people who jumped off the Nightwish bandwagon because your vaginas hurt from Tarja being kicked out, good riddance. Anette rocks!!

  • Fucking disgusting. I think I just committed suicide.

  • yeahhhh.... thanks for reminding me why i stopped listening to Nightwish after they got rid of Tarja.... this chick BUTCHERED this song. :(

  • Anette's tone here is actually very good with full resonance, but for this song it's too aggressive and fights against Marco's similarly powerful voice during the chorus.

  • Many people are not going to like what I am about to say, but that is alright. From a pitch perspective, Anette is always dead on. While Tarja was very good, she often improvised and hit middle of the road notes that were not supposed to be.

    And everyone thinks Tarja is the most amazing woman ever but I must say that Anette is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and has an angelic voice. Not to mention she is a team player, and not a selfish witch.

  • @Makousen This is true about the pitch. Listen to the End of Era version of Bless the Child. It's all over the place!

  • OH THE CHICK IN 3:04 IS VERY HOT!

  • Comment removed

  • 1:41 лолшто!!!

  • the sound of tragedy

  • I like Tarja. I like Anette.

    I just think that they should start making some new songs that fit Anette's voice better. Show us the newer type of Nightwish.

  • wooo go marco!!!!!

  • What was with the creepy black guy doing something on his cell phone? Also would love to have Jukka's point at view at Anette at 2:35-2:43. Oh, and just because Anette's voice is different from Tarja's (which I'm glad) doesn't mean the song isn't good for her. I think it's a great song for Anette to show people how great of a singer she is. Whining about it isn't gonna change anything. I don't like Tarja's voice but you don't see me going onto Tarja videos and bitching about her.

  • @GreenDay1981 Yeah, because Nettie fans happen to be mature. The majority of Tarja fans I've encountered are still sore about her replacement, and there's only a few tarja fans that i've met who are the most relaxing people ever and don't get up in arms about Anette.

  • @ComaLies225 Mature?...hah If you excuse me, I have to laugh my ass of....

  • @Traigame2cervezas Go do that, but I'm right. You don't see the Nettie fans bitching about Tarja after 6 years do you? Case in point...Good day

  • @ComaLies225 Yes I do see A LOT of fans of Nightwish/Anette/Tuomas Bitching about Tarja all the time.

    But whatever, that's just stupid.

  • I love Anette, I really do. Her singing is beyond compare, but somehow we still manage to do so by putting her next to Tarja.

    But, if we listen to this, and pretend for only a moment that Tarja's version never existed, is it not fair to say that she did a splendid job?

    I think so.

    Way to go, Olzon. <3

  • maybe my favorite nightwishs song but this sound so sad :(

  • really anette needs an intensive course on melodic singing and to learn that every song has something called dynamics that along the song have different changes in intensity, intonation, emotion etc. This song has many of those dynamics going on that with anette singing u dont hear/ feel them... pitty honestly... the melodic harmony of the voices in the background of the song are ruined by her.. FYI this has nothing to do with opera style singing...

  • lmao of the guy at 1:40-1:43 and i love annettes version of this song, its more alive, and i still love tarjas its great :D

  • Anette has a great voice:)

  • Horrible song choice for Annette's voice :l

  • Marco canta tan bien...

    T-T

  • Annette: Awesome. Annette on this song: A wee bit painful.

  • All this fights make me feel disgust towards Nightwish and I can't help myself. That's so nice.

  • I don´t think she is good or bad.....U just don´t like this kind of voice.....I mean she is not bad here.....she didn´t ruin the song.....but I think with Tarja they were more original

  • her new songs in nightwish are awesome, but live she is just sucks, sorry, it is just true......

  • Terrible, she destroyed this song, omfg... sad....

  • That guy singing and playing guitar is a beast. The chick... not so much :/

  • @CapitolaBoy bass :P

  • @MaroonedOY Bass is a form of guitar. The Bass Guitar (me trying to cover for my mistakes). Fail. He's still a beast :D.

  • @CapitolaBoy hahaha its ok :)

  • I have cryed on the inside and a part of me literally DIED when I heard Annette sing this song... sorry Annette... Tarja was WAY better then you!!

  • Ah, Nightwish are great! No....Actually they are the number one symphonic metal band!! I wish Tarja was still with them but.... :(....Hope their new songs will fit better to Anette´s voice. Hope that Tuomas won´t let her sing Tarja´s songs never again, too! If he does ,i´ll be sure that he want to kill their fans....:S :/

  • Anette do is best for singing Tarja's song, but otherwise, I cannot imagine Tarja singing Escapist or Sahara... They have both beautiful voices... but differents ;o)

  • @Cassin1306 Woot? You must be kidding...Tarja would sing well any song (old or new) because the problem here is about the ability to sing and not adapting songs to this or that singer.

  • Comment removed

  • no sé por qué insisto en escuchar las versiones con esta cantante, TODAS.... absolutamente todas suenan horrible hasta desafina... es cierto que trajo un nuevo elemento a la banda que no tenían con Tarja y ese es el pop, que desastre, ella no debe seguir cantando las canciones que cantaba Tarja porque cada vez más se pone en ridículo, sino miren la cara de aburrido que pone el moreno en el minuto 1:40 jajajjaaja

  • By raising the volume, one cannot increase the effect which Tarja did... This voice should have a scent like jasmin, touch like velvet and light like an angel... Otherwise why would anyone fall into this trap... Aaaiiiiaaaiii I am not happy with this voice... I simply walked away...

  • this is too bad

  • @scenessweet sii...mal no,...Horrible....y te aseguro q despues de este concierto quedo afonica...mal por este grupo....!!

  • oh my god... siren??? well.....

  • suena como a caca

  • I Like the man's face in 1:42 min...!!!

    jajajajaj

  • @scenessweet jaja siii....y no se... pero Tarja es Tarja.... NW no deberia ya tocar rolas antiguas con Annett...deberian ya hacer sus rolitas "pop"....y eso seguir... jaja xD

  • wtf is this? She's screaming! Compare this version with Tarja's version and see the difference, please!

  • The thing I love about Nightwish - both Tarja and Anette bring different emotions, and obviously sound, to the music. I love the old skool stuff, and I lvoe the new stuff. One of the best bands around :)

  • @RikaHavoc I agree :) I listen to Tarja's version and then I listen to this one, and they seem like different songs...but both good!

  • ok now you can say i have no sence in music but after listening two versions of the song [original vid with Tarja and this] i like this more. Idk why but Anette..she gives some kind of warm feeling...while tarja is ..heh..scary and cold to me[go on laugh you asses off i dont care]

  • I like Anette's version:).it's so good, and a there's something new in it.. But a Little bit I like Tarja's version better..

  • @_@

    One of my favorite songs!!!

    Fantastic how she makes it more... fantastical!!!

    Thanks Anette!!! : )

  • El punto no es que regrese tarja, ella se fue y tiene su carrera, pero... por favor que cambien de vocalista. Anette no es mala, pero tampoco excelente, ni en las canciones viejas ni en las nuevas.

    A mi no me gusta su voz por eso no escucho DPP.

  • "Overworked and UnderFucked"

    haha XD

  • Listen Siren with Tarja its totally different so HOT but its hard so thumbs up to Anette

  • @musjons I personally like the new changed melody better than the old, no matter who would sing it. :) But that's just my taste.

  • @HeartsEyes Yes, but there is another problem...to sing it well. And avoid getting out of tune.

  • @gentletuesday Anette is not out of tune if that's what you wanted to say.

  • @HeartsEyes Sorry but she is. Not many times in this song, more times in other songs.

  • @gentletuesday We were talking about this song.

  • @HeartsEyes I say not many times in this song, but still some.

  • @gentletuesday Like where?

  • @HeartsEyes Almost every song...

  • me río para no llorar jajajajajajaja, por Dios si la interpretacion esta espantosa.... por favor no permitan que arruine las canciones que antes cantaba Tarja!.

  • jaiiaiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa jaaaaaaaaiiiaaaaaaiiiaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaa jaaaaaaaaiiiiaaaaaaiiiiaaaaaaa­..

  • esa mina es una completa mierda!!!!!!!!!!!!! no puedo creer que los otros integrantes sean tan mamaderas como para permitir que ese extraterrestre despeinado y atropellado por un carrito de ciruja bonaerense cantar en su banda. una caca el recital!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jajaja extraterrestre no es anette es cakett(por caca)
  • la mina tiene buena voz pero no para cantar en nightwish, es un desastre como canta este tema, nightwish deberia haber quedado con marco como cantante y fue, el loco tiene la re voz

  • for the last time she is a pop singer

    tarja is opera. just like nightwish is supose to be

  • @supereend666 For the last time... tssss. You're just to proud to admit she's good. Different of Tarja, yes, but she's excellent, and what she's singing in Nightwish is not pop, that's symphonic metal. Nightwish is not supposed to be "Opera metal" (what's that ?)

  • Anette isn't as bad as I estimated, different, but not bad. I like hier voice too!

  • @upperhugewolf Let's put some maths here:

    Different = pop + out of tune

  • enserio mundo que le paso a Nightwish, ni siquiera con la tonalidad esto es para llorar la escucho por una amiga y esto es horrible, no se como se cagaron la banda... cual hay hay fok

  • enserio mundo que le paso a Nightwish, ni siquiera con la tonalidad esto es para llorar la escucho por una amiga y esto es horrible, no se como se cagaron la banda...

  • a few things ive noticed about reading the last few posts.

    1. people cant get over Tarja who was kicked out of the band.. um.. like 5 years ago.. thats almost 20% of my LIFE ago

    2. if the guys kicked Tarja out and chose Anette to replace her, then either respect it or stop listening.

    3. nobody here understands business obviously, even tho the background is infact the orchestra they recorded with, if they wanted to use a recording of Tarja they could. her work belongs to the BAND - business 101

  • @intranick

    1. people can't get over that idiot idea of getting rid of a fantastic performer, to bring an average pop singer :p. Yep, that's depressing :)

    2. The guys did not kick Tarja. Jalous Tuomas did :) But now he is realizing the shit he has done. He wanted to get away from Tarja, because doesn't love him. However, he had to find someone quite fast to homour band's compromises. Quite sad...

  • @ISeeAnIdiot You are still there? What a surprise... is that the only thing you can do? Complaining on Anette's videos?

  • This song is about the sirens. They had very seductive voices and lured sailors to crash there ships into there rocky ledge. Tarja's voice had that seductive quality which Anette simply does not have. She is a great singer but this is he wrong song for here.

  • @KtangMC Right by your every word. But, if I may ask, how do you know all these things. Have you studied greek mythology ?????

  • @athens13kef yes for a few years.

  • @KtangMC I strongly agree! :)

  • She has good voice and generally is great singer but this song absolutely doesn't suits her:/

  • sorry anette but this is not your song!!! dont like this version with this girll...she is not a bad singer ..but doesnt like for nightwish...at all!!
