Nightwish @ Ogden Theater Denver, CO - I Wish I Had An Ang

[mort28rainey]

And I wish I was there!!

[HeartsEyes]

Anette = not just a hottie, but a nicee, too. :)

[RockstarGuitarr]

For having almost 0 airplay on radio stations. THIS BAND KICKS ASS!. Dont matter if it was Lady Gaga singing with them. I have NO DOUBT it would kick ass. :) Ya for internet radio..only "stations" playing them.

[RainbowColorWaffles]

Oooh...I'm in Pueblo and I didn't know about this! I wish I were there... :'( Probably won't come back for a while...

[cwooley77]

Everytime I hear Anette sing the old Nightwish songs I feel like sticking a spike through my temple.

[violentbeauty1012]

Anette is such a sweeety :)

[SignInGrazy]

Damn they're good :O No,they're fantastic !!

Well,what else can you get from Finland,with little nice spice from Sweden. ;)

[Astarael777]

such an amazing concert!!! ironically, my friend and i were right behind you. i know because i remember seeing you zoom in on Marco and Emppu when they put their heads close we nicknamed you spiky because when you would head-bang, your spiky hair would hit us <_<'... lol anyway, awesome vid! saw them live in Seattle on Sep. 9th with Sonata Arctica, and they were just as amazing!

[sugar6six6]

one fucking awesome concert, no doubt.

What did Tuomas throw into the crowd? His towel, I presume? Since Jukka throws sticks and Emppu picks, it wuould be hilarious to see him grab a part of his keyboards and just swing it into the people :D

[KiraDesert]

Dude that's me on the right hand of the screen being lifted up ^_^ It rocked

[redjury]

Your energy has been captured by my camera for all to see...thank you!!

-Dave

[Lukest30]

HAHA loko at Emppus guitar XD love that color on guitar Emppu YOU ROCK!

[darkzarah]

Por favor...cuando marco cantaba con Tarja era sorprendente, pero la voz de anett ni se oye por sobre la de marco, es por las octavas, sencillamente la voz de Anett no puede compararse con la de Tarja, su canto es muy opuesto al original de las canciones. Esta cancion suena mal con su voz la verdad.

Me gustan las canciones de anett como eva, le quedan bien! porque son de ella!!! que no se robe las canciones de tarja!!!! ¬¬

[faded74]

Emppu should have been in the Olympics with that jump, heh!

[BenioOwns]

@faded74

hahahaha :DD

[kingkongster]

it's so hard to believe she's a mother.

[Siberyn]

annette sucks she had no voice she better sing in her bath room

[FEDE140]

apestan estos putos traidores¡¡ esto no es nightwish. Purple con gilliam, sabath con ozzy, maiden con dickinson y nightwish con tarja loco

[shloonktapooxis]

Anette is really hot.

like, really.

I like that outfit.

[dlinkkkk]

I'm so tired of tarja's love fans

why don't they die already?

huhaauhauahaauahuahuahauha

[dlinkkkk]

I fucking love Nightwish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[knockout98741]

Emppu is a LEGEND.

[Lukest30]

yeah he is!

[ICanPrayI]

Great video. I was there on the left of the stage (right side facing it) about 10 feet from them. Absolutely an amazing show they put on that night.

~Pray

[rolsch474]

@ozbeach: Maybe you can also feel my pain. It appears always when reading stupid comments. Anyway, Anette is best!

[Ozbeach]

My reply is for justanamehere

[violist123]

You can tell Anette is getting adjusted well to being in the band and singing live. I also love the outfit she's wearing.

[deathmetaltyler]

I saw them in 2004 at Cervantes...it was excellent! I am so bummed I couldn't make it this time around. Thanks for posting this vid!

[Vosona]

The one day I'm out of town, Nightwish performs here. :/

[ceasol]

Nightwish Rulez!!! awesome

[YoJimBoHugabaJoe]

you mean nightwish ruled

[Cloacamaxim]

no he doesn't

[AaronDrake22]

Why you got to correct him for ? you got to act smarter then everyone ?

[bombsquadrecords]

nightwish was and is fucking great! great performence great musicians, i love emppu and his style, great guitarist and absolutaly my favorite!

anette did a great job here and she is singing better every gig i see!

jukka is a great drummer marco a great vocalist, no-one has a voice like him and tuomas is a great composer!

good job nightwish!

[swampfox52]

this was such a great show

[ChainGuN2]

wow! Great camera you got there! Usually you can't hear a thing when viewing these kinds of videos. Nightwish Rules!

[gustavocsr]

forever

[claudiofebbo]

The best on the vid was when they stop playing, singing and dancing....

[Corca]

Lol claudiofebbo. I see where this is coming from. Answer lies behind u profile filled with Tarja's consert vids. Such obvious "NW-hater" here. =)

Well, flaming is the easiest thing to do, i understand. Supporting and understanding both sides is bit more challenging. And I see its harder for some ppl...=)

[RonixEnclave]

I didn't know Nightwish was Christian. That's good to know.

[mrfoxwolf]

Goddamnit, really wanted to go to the show, but had to be stuck out of state for Field training. Army makes you miss good things like that...

[Astralev]

They have two problems 1. not so good songs 2. not so good vocal as Nightwish 1996 - 2006 here they have only one problem :) Things will never be the same bb beautiful (music)

[virusalexs]

markos voice doesent fit whit anette's pop voice...

[virusalexs]

oo....emppu rocks...anette doesent sucks..but she doesent belong in nightiwsh....they realy need a soprano voice

[RockSidi]

Nightwish do what they like not what you like or wish.They don't listen your opinions and they can't please everybody.Your duty is listen that music and if you don't like it you better find something else.

[2222maco]

anette is good bitch, but Tarja is better singer !!!

[patosk14]

F.U.C.K anette !!! :D shes only bitch , im better singer than anette.... Tarja forever !!

[AleJuliet]

prove it...and why do you have to insult?..better go to sleep..

[wichi1591]

F.U.C.K. YOU!!! try to sing along wish i had an angel...you would probably faint in the middle of the song cause you can't even sing the happy birthday song. i'm quite sure you must be a stupid close-minded nerd computer-addict with nothing better to do.

[EndlessCompassion]

I wonder why they didn't pick YOU to be their singer, then. If I were you (and thank God, I'm not)I would refrain from doing such statements without even judging my words beforehand.

[wishmaster198]

anette is so good on stage! tarja wa so stiff but she makes the crowd high!

[BOONJAGGANESS]

I like tarja, she seemed more talented, however Anette is more naturally singer that's able to get the emotion of the song out there, and well, and that beats any ammount of traditional opera singing anyone can get

[Littalos1]

I find it funny how they all blame annette, its not her fault tarja was a greedy bitch, got shows cancelled and didnt get on with the other band members, but that doesnt matter right? Get a life you people.

[justanamehere]

"I find it funny how they all blame annette, its not her fault tarja was a greedy bitch"

Nice of you to call a founding member of the band a greedy bitch. She's no more of a greedy bitch than Tuomas, who more than likely fired Tarja so that he could find a pop singer to attract the teenie-boppers in the US.

As far as this greed thing, her manager wanted the band to charge more money for concert tickets which would have profited the BAND, not solely Tarja.

[Littalos1]

What difference does it make if she was a founder or not, money makes people change and by the sounds of it that is what got her kicked from the band.

Tarja is off doing what she wanted, she was going to leave after the next record anyways, nightwish is still alive and kicking. People should stop bitching about the new singer, I bet people dont bitch you in a new job when you take up a new position.

[justanamehere]

"What difference does it make if she was a founder or not, money makes people change and by the sounds of it that is what got her kicked from the band."

Since you apparently think yourself to be an expert on Tarja, what exactly did she do in your opinion to make her appear to be greedy or money orientated? Is money not a factor in Tuomas going towards a pop style and leaving Nightwish's metal roots in the dust?

[Littalos1]

Its hardly pop mate. Angels fall first is a much tamer record than DDP, but tarja sings in that zomg!

Dont get me wrong, i like the old nightwish, i like the new nightwish but what pisses me off is that the new singer is getting stick for something that she had nothing whatsoever to do with.

[justanamehere]

If Nightwish sounded as good or better than they did with Tarja, then there wouldn't be an issue other than the shitty way they fired her and aired their dirty laundry in public, much of which was huge exaggerations or outright lies.

But Anette REALLY has some major problems singing in tune and messes up fairly often, and is NOT of the calibre needed for Nightwish to remain a top notch band.

What gets ME going is seeing people trash Tarja or repeat innuendos and rumors that they've read on YT.

[Lenduarm]

'Cause your not doing the same thing, right?

[justanamehere]

"'Cause your not doing the same thing, right?"

Huh? What, not singing like a drunken idiot at karaoke bars? Yeah, been there done that..

[nightwishfan60]

just fuck off and get a life you sad retard

[justanamehere]

Fuck you.

[Ozbeach]

I completely agree with your comment about Annette. I don't hate her and I wish I was 100% behind her (NW music is so awesome) but between her country girl look and more importantly her singing (you exactly pinpointed her problems), she just isn't good enough for NW music. She tries so hard though, look at her face when she sing I can feel her pain!.

[justanamehere]

Angels Fall First is an epic ballard, the sort of which contains tremendous power and passion.

Nightwish used to be symphonic metal, sprinkled with these sorts of unique ballards that defy categorization. Now, I don't know what else to call them but pop rock.

[Lenduarm]

Insted of posting on every little comment why not just leave the people that do enjoy Nightwish alone, you MUST have something better to do than watch this video over and over and shoot down everyone. judging on your comments you must think your some kind of expert on this kinda thing and if you are then that's really really sad, please, let the past be the past and the present be the present. Tarja ISN'T COMMING BACK, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT, just drop the subject and move on, please.

[justanamehere]

Suck it dry. I don't watch this video over and over, I just stupidly respond to the idiots that post comments against my comments. So shut up and maybe I will too...

[Lenduarm]

agreed. Also, I didn't mean to sound so agresive I was tired, reading the comments of Nightwish got me angry you were the one I blew up on, it wasn't fair and I should have kept to myself so... i'm sorry.

[justanamehere]

Hey no problem, I certainly don't hold back when I get annoyed, so sorry if I might have overreacted a bit myself.

[omnislo1]

OMG! Tarja fans are really aggressive now! They just can't take it that Nightwish is successful without their idol. I also used to like Tarja, but I also like Anette. But Tarja-only fans really are a terrible bunch. They prolly would tear Anette in pieces if they would get her in their hands.

[a00ab]

Because Anette didnt fucking kill this song did she? ROFL she should stick with her "pop" instead of singing Tarja's songs. Sad bitch.

[BOONJAGGANESS]

Last i checked they're successfull without tarja, and for one the sad bitches is the bunch like you, you can't stand osmething that's a little different than you dinounce it, go do something productive

[LastPerfectVerse]

Why you think that we like her for what she wears? I like her 'cause she is so sweet and good singer. If you don't like her it doesn't mean that we can't like her voice.

Ihana veto! Kyllä mä tykkään. Hienoa hienoa. Jatkakaa samaan malliin :)

[Taureni]

I hate that new singer, whatever she is called... her sounds sucks... Tarja did better.

[Lepa2793]

We dont care ok? some people here like her! If you don't like, go listen to Tarja in one of her solo concerts.

And her name is Anette!

[Zanthia11]

You like her because she is wearing a mini. You stare at her legs and not listening to her voice and you dont look at her ugly face. For you shorter=better, hotter

[mosskuk]

god i love nightwish... they were awsome in london.... just love em.... bring on the next album just cant wait love tuomus

[BigWade57]

I was at this concert, and it is a great representation of what I experienced that night. Go Anette, Go Nightwish!

[AJPickett]

I think it's time for the Tarja fan club to just move on and leave the Nightwish fans alone.

I hope NW comes to New Zealand one day, they would love it here I think, and they have plenty of fans on these islands!

[RockSidi]

Hey "Tarja fans"!This is Nightwish now and you can be nasty and evil to Anette but THAT DON'T CHANGE NOTHING!THAT REALLY DON'T CHANGE NOTHING!If you don't like this nobody cares because they still have old and new fans.NW can't please everybody so you better find something else!

[supEnoc]

nightwish with tarja was melodic, nightwish with anette is just pop

[sarahwithstars]

:( I want to go all over again.

x

[foxroka]

wow she is totally different from tarja, but i think she is good enough to make a new kind of nightwish, or whatever

[akkubohrschrauber91]

surely tarja has been better but i think anette is also very good i´ve heard her in bamberg germany and it was great. she does a good job. tuomas took her because he also thought she is good. without a singer nightwish wouldn´t exist anymore

[Overllike]

OMG shit STOP iT that girl screws the NIGHTWISH name oMG plzz tarja COme back hate annete suckz and he singns like shit TArjas SONG !!!

[tapiokingoftheforest]

Tarja fans are like a disease. This mob of Romanian teenagers are whining on each Nightwish video. Always the same story.

[kukasmonster]

im agree, im also tarjas fan but come on anneke is anneke and tarja is tarja, so enjoy music, thats all!

[bitus098]

I can't believe what Nightwish has become... this is comercial music with a hard rock background, how desgusting!!!!How can u guys like it????????

[Zeliziouz]

Ha ha, you are funny... I hope you get over your disgustment... =)

[ucaral06]

this girl sings like shit and in fact they are using the voice of Tarja

[angelofdarkness49]

<3 emppu's legendry jump at the beginning lol

[AwakeningNight]

Hehe Emppu's ninja jump at the start.

Thanks! This is amazing. I get to see them at Wacken in August, I can hardly wait! \,,/

[Katie4384]

I was there! I was standing almost exactly next to you! Thank you so much for risking your butt to video tape this! It was one of the highlights of my life thus far and thanks to you I can favorite it and watch it whenever I want!

[redjury]

My Pleasure Katie. Nightwish kicks serious ass!!

-Dave

[obreerbo]

I WAS THERE! It was an amazing show all around. Any traces of doubt that I had that Anette could carry this band as its lead singer have been now and forever dispelled. And if they had an Olympic "stage sprinting" event, the Finns would need to recruit Emppu, as he'd be a medal contender!

[Quintega]

Bring tanjia back this chick sucks

[arhat82]

stop it

[Lenduarm]

This was the best part of the night!

[pros4el]

hahahahah she is really emo!

[123456789iron]

0_o i cant believe people actually like her voice.Tarja will never be forgotten and can never be replaced.

[RockSidi]

You don't have to believe nothing because everybody can listen and like what they want!

[Corca]

Tarja surely will not be forgotten or replaced by no-one. But life goes on and Nightwish has done so. =)

[ABCfreak]

Great performance! lol Emppu!!! haha

[valeryyy1983]

en verdad: Anette no tiene voz para cantar estos temas que Tarja grabó en versiones originales.... se oye como una niña de 7 años tratando de cantar algo inenetendible...

Anette canta mal.... nada q hacer...y lo peor: se nota aun mas tratando de ocupar el lugar de TARJA.......... IDOLA..........

NIGHTWISH NEED TARJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[EndlessCompassion]

I think we (and they, the bandmembers) had agreed they didn't ;)

[glitch164]

My brother was there

[XD60061XD]

Anette shouln't sing songs, which Tarja sang before! She isn't as good as her in those songs! But I like the "new" songs with her, but, how I said.. she shouln't sing songs, which Tarja sang before!!!

[omnislo1]

XD6006XD; Isn't it a bit absurd to say that Nightwish perhaps should stop performing the songs that Tuomas has created between 1996 - 2005 only because they were sang by Tarja before. After all they are Nightwish's songs, not Tarja's

[XD60061XD]

Well... no, of course she can sing them, but maybe not as popular songs as "I wish.." Grr.. I dont know how to say^^

[RockSidi]

Nightwish can do what they like with the old songs and they don't ask your opinion about that.They don't make music only to you and they can't please everybody.If you don't like this you better find something else.

[XD60061XD]

come down! Its MY opinion! And if you dont do so.. be happy and by an ice!

[Ivo125r]

the BEST!!!!!!!!!

[sabfani]

I think that turunen sings this song better than olzon but olzon is very good

[akumatogashi]

They changed their style, it's OK. New CD with Anette is OK too. But when she sings songs that Tarja used to sing it's just terrible. :(

Of course I would love to be on their concert but it's a shame that I wasn't on it when Tarja was in the band.

[if835]

for god sake.... Tarja is great, but not her so called fans (bullies)

[BabsieKelly]

haha Emppu |m|

[ladyestaje]

el problema para mi es ke con anette bajaron un poco de categoria... de la gran banda de rock ahora parecen un grupiio ke apenas si lo conocen ciertas personas... notece en la calidad del espectaculo.. es iwal como si ubieran empezado desde el inicio, aunke en efecto asi es por el echo de tener otra cantante ke en nada es el estilo ke solian tener

[Evnightlerd]

what is this?? I'm disappointed too Much! Anette used to have a beautiful voice! what's wron? wuz her sick?? wanna know! cuz she sings very foolish in here!!

[bodomswrath]

I was at that concert!!!! \m/

[Morrowater]

I had the privilege of seeing Nightwish last night in Lawrence, KS. It was a awesome performance.

[pickledoboe]

Omnislo1, when i say 'not really hers', i understand that she didn't write the music, i'm not an idiot, I am referring to the fact that she wasn't the first to sing it, and even though its my opinion about who sings it better, I was just wondering how that makes the other fans feel, and how, (i don't know about you, but) I feel a sort of connection to the 'older' music, with tarja singing, and how that connection can sorta be broken by Anette singing them. I understand you, I was just wondering.

[omnislo1]

@pickledoboe, I find it is a bit absurd to think that Nightwish perhaps should stop performing the songs that Tuomas has created between 1998 - 2005 only because they were first sang by Tarja. The band was not able to continue with Tarja - therefore we now have Anette.

[raro112]

not bad, but Tarja is better!!!!

[sdniceguy]

Annete is off key! Sigh...

[firefighternuge]

unfortunately you will get that at live concerts... not everyone has perfect studio vocals... oh wait, they edit that......

[kiperhd]

I luv Nightwish but HOW DID THEY CAN SING IT WITHOUT TARJA ?!?! bastards xD Anette pls leave old song(Tarja was better in old songs)! sing the new one ! :D

[omnislo1]

@Kiperhd. Have you possibly missed out that Tarja is no longer a member of Nightwish!? And that's the case for two years and seven months already. Wake up!

There's more than hundred gigs already where Anette has sang this song as the last number of the show.

[bloo009]

they can because they're nightwish and they cant always sing songs from the album. they want to show that annete is as well as tarja.

[Evnightlerd]

I agree!!! She suckz in this 1!! T_T wanna cry!

[gethsemene]

Can anyone please tell me how NW have gone down in the States? I know they have a long tour there & have always wanted to break the American market. Did the album sell well there too?

[theExal7ed]

pickledoboe... They did about 7 songs from DPP and then the rest were older. Wishmaster, Nemo, Sleeping Sun, Dark Chest of Wonders +more. Annette rocked all the older songs... better IMO. Annette haters gtfo ;)

[SoulmasterRZ]

OMG eargasm *faints*

[ICanPrayI]

OMG I was there :D

[KiraDesert]

DUDE THAT WAS ME! BEING LIFTED UP IN THE RIGHT CORNER OF THE VIDEO! lol I was too short and missed most the concert and one my best guy friends plus another guy all of a sudden lifted me up! ^_^

[GLOatYT]

Alright! Good for you! That's what friends are for, right? :)

[pickledoboe]

I was wondering...did it go over well that she was singing a song that isn't exactly...well...hers? I love that song, and of course tarja sings it better, but like, what other songs did they preform? Were others from 'the olden days' too?

GO NW!!!

[omnislo1]

Pickledoboe, I wish I had an Angel is composed and lyrics made by Tuomas Holopainen, who is standing on the stage behind the keyboards. Anette Olzon, who is the lead singer of Nightwish has ended 100+ concerts singing this song. So what do you mean by saying that the song is not exactly hers? It is a song of Tuomas, but all Nightwis members usually have performed Tuomas's music, right?

"of course Tarja sings it better" - technically speaking maybe, but Anette performs it better, imo.

[ryi5505]

This show was so awesome! :D I wish it lasted forever. :D

[Lepa2793]

This was amazing! I can actually hear my squeaky voice scream on the background, trying to sing a long! My mom and I were right next to the railing on the right side of the room, and we got an amazing view! And Emppu noticed the Finnish flag that we were waving. He showed his thumbs up and looked at us xD

My birthday!

This was the best birthday present ever! An amazing concert!

MUCH better in person though, the quality isn't the best here, but yay! I loved it!

[disturbedfreak123]

Awesome, thanks for uploading it, they rocked it. I saw them in Copenhagen aswell in November, they were almost as good this time - but the warm-up band was 10x better.

[theExal7ed]

They rocked Denver. So glad they came. Nightwish ftw!!
