  • It's not that hard to learn one finnish song by heart. I'm just a big Nightwish fan and I didn't have any problems remembering it.

    Don't want to insult anyone, but I still think this song fits Tarja's voice much much better. The whole song just sounds totally different.

  • Well, you know what? I rather liked it, and my opinion is probably worth dirt because I do not speak or understand Finnish, but Annette certainly has this air about her... she always rises to the challenge and demonstrates to all the back-talkers that time and again, she is an artist with passion!

    I would like to see how many people could step onto a stage and do what she did at this concert. She always gets criticized... and here I thought that Tarja had been the docile one! Long live Annette.

  • OMFG....I never thaught Anette performing this song.....wow she has become a great singer

    congratulations Anette n_n

  • I think she sings it very well.I think i like her ,and what's happened that happened.I mean,we can't change on things,to write comments like 'Tarja come back.We love you<3'

    She's not a band member anymore.And that's all,on that we can't change.

    P.S.:Sorry for bad english,it's not my mother language.=)

  • Im listening this for the nth time for the past (almost) two years and cant get enough of it.

    Delicious voice!

    I dont speak Finnish but music is music and she does it with talent

  • Anette is a true professional singer! No one ever talks about how she sings a song in English and bashes her for not pronouncing every word perfectly, I understand her! It's amazing to me, that she can sing in so many languages out of her own native language, that in itself is quite remarkable. She does a wonderful job! Cheers Anette!!

  • It was brave done. But she did screw up some of the pronounciation - but don't blame her, she is even from the southern of Sweden. Proud of her though. (:

  • i'm a big tarja fan and i think she has more talent and she's better for the band style... but i have to admit that this is very beautiful , very good voice

  • laulun loppusointuja ihmettelen lauloi nyt sitten suomeksi tai enkuksi ihme joikaisuja

  • I LOVE HER!!!!!! She's such a good performer and so lovely and cute.

    Also, her Finnish sounds like my Finnish ... ehh ... not that great :p but hey, more power to her!!.

  • Awesome Anette but i think a like a little more the voice of Tarja for this song ._.

  • I love Nightwish!

    Anette you the best!

    Wonderful!

  • Yeah... she needs to stop singing Tarja era songs and it would be alright. She's not a bad singer... she's just not got the same voice tone as Tarja.

    Annettes is a lot brighter and a lot lighter toned than Tarja's and it just doesn't work when she sings the songs Tarja use to sing....

  • Absolutely gorgeous voice you have, Anette, I admire that very much!

  • such a beautiful voice...

  • Good .......ONLY GOOD

  • cute accent :D and perfect voice

  • The only thing I hate about this version is that she sings it like : "look! it's a pretty lenguage, it's a challenge, i'm a good singer, i sing in finnish" but she doesnt really understand the meaning of the lyrics and she definetely doesn't feel it in her heart...that's the only thing that bothers me. Besides, I don't think she has the voice for this one. Have some respect for the song. I'm sorry...I hope you don't take this as a bad comment, it's just my opinnion.

  • ainakin yritti :)

  • Nightwish should play this one on their next tour. It sounds great (pronunciation is forgiven ;O) )

  • she just screamed the high notes... this is not what that song is made for...

  • Very different from Tarja´s verison..but...great job..;)

  • other than the sharp Ts and Ss and the way her U sounds like a Y it's just good

  • Well, I'll be Tarja's team 'till death, but I have to say I like quite a lot what Anette did this time. I still prefere Tarja but Anette is also a good singer and has a lot of merit because of singing in finnish...

  • I'm not Finnish but it was painful to hear her sing this song, I'm a fan of both Tarja and Anette but she killed this song, she didnt sing the lyrics correctly she sang it too fast, she should've practiced it some more

  • after all, no one can sing that song like Tarja does.

  • While I'm not her fan and preferred Tarja in Nightwish (I'm too weak against opera alike voices) I have to admit - she did quite well. Very well actually, but for me, she doesn't match how Tarja was singing it. Personal preference.

  • LMAO she sang it like a sweet love song. I wonder if she even understood the lyrics.

  • WOW!!!!!

    I've never heard Annette sing like this live!!!

    I'm so impressed!!!

    I like both singers but have been a little concerned about how some of the old songs have sounded live; this gives me new hope and enthusiasm for the new Nightwish!!!

    Three cheers Annette!!!!!!!!!!

  • O GOD! This should only be sung by finnish or those taht can speak7sing Finnis language. I will have nighmare´s for a fortnight.

  • I thinks she spells quite good for a swedish talking lady.

  • not gonna lie, I love anette but I thought she was gonna screw it up, but its awesome. Good job anette!

  • she is like an angel

  • This sounds far too nice regarding to the message of the song... .-.

  • Swedish is totally different from Finnish. She did a great job.

  • I know I'm probably one of very few, but after comparing this song with both tarja and anette, i think I prefer the last one...

  • Tarja is not the most here in Brazil many singers sing the same music and are in different voices and different styles and still look good because Anette excelled not fluent in Finnish and it was very good

  • @tefomontecalvo Onnittelut tyttö laulat jumalallisesti, kun se tulee Brasiliasta tulee iso niitty kunniaksi ja arvostus sen kaunis ääni.

  • Being a language geek, I know how different one language can be from another. The fact that Annette pulled this off and only mispronounced a couple words is awesome. I mean, really, she has a wonderful voice. Perhaps the wrong voice for this song, but a good voice nonetheless. I'm still biased in Tarja's favour. ^_^;;

  • khuolhemaa theki mhinhusta thaitheilijaan

  • Very good!

  • wow

    she sings it beautiful on her own way..

    Tarja sings it different but also beautiful

    they are both good :)

  • Well done, Anette!

  • voi voi kui voi rikinruotsalainen laulaa suomeksi, kuulostaa hirveältä!

    Sorry, I hate this swidish girl trying to sing finnish!

  • wow, I was suprised how nice hear voice is. Usually she doesn't sing this well I think, at least I have heard of.

  • Wow. I have to say... her voice is getting stronger and stronger. You just wait until she reaches her full potential, I don't doubt for a second the next album will make you cry. Not perfect Finnish, but perfect singing. Annette is so there. I'm very happy to hear this. :D Thanks for uploading these.

  • she doesnt put as much emotion into songs as Tarja did,she's not as serious about them,and I think that kinda messes this song up a bit for her.

  • It's good not the best but still good:)))) I always think that Anette is the best in new Nightwish songs and Tarja was the best in old songs...Anyway bravo for Anette for her Finnish ;)

  • Gosh! What a voice *.*

  • o.O

  • woderfull!

    i leard finnish when i was 12 because we moved to Tuusula, its fucking hard, and im still learning new words...-.-

    gread job, anette!

  • I absolutely love this song as well as Anette, and what makes it even better is that she's singing it her way. Lots of people hate this because its not Tarja singing, and it isn't. It's Anette. So haters: get over it

  • Nice voice but not even close to Tarja.

  • must be hard to learn this language =S

  • @TheMerinight i heard its 5th hardest in the world

  • @TheMerinight If you learn it from the web,than it f*cking hard.

  • i could never imagine that Anette could sing this song! her voice is soooo nice at this song! i don't know wich version is better! Tarja's or Anette's? i would never imagine that i would be in that position!!

  • i could never imagine that anette could sing this song! her voice is very nice at this song! i don't know wich version is better! Tarja's or Anette's? i could never imagine that i would be in this position!!!

  • very good performance. Bravo anettte

  • well done by swede, still it sounds abit strange in finnish ears

  • It sounds really good, but of course, nothing compares to tarja's version.

  • anette has sucha a beautiful voice ^.^...no haters bag on me cuz i said that k!, okay xP

  • she's swedish not finnish

  • I'm not sure, I love the songs she recorded, I think annette has been treated unfair.

    But I can't seem to find a tarja era song I actually Love from her when she does it. I think they are better sticking to newer, she is GOOD with eva, meadows of heaven, the islander.... great songs

  • Love this. I don't understand why people often says: Tarja is better than Anette. This song shows real Anette's voice. And I think it is amazing.

  • I love her voice! But her pronunciation...

  • Anette's voice is very nice, I never hated Anette like some, because she is talented. Both Tarja and Anette just have different styles, but that does not mean she cannot sing! I personally love both of them (:

  • Anette is singing a song in Finnish to honour the many Finnish guests who were there. I think it is perfectly OK that she does it even though her Finnish isn't perfect, it is the thought that counts. And her voice is so beautiful in this song.

  • Tarja sings this song a loooot better, but Anette has good interpretation too! And I like the fact that she's so smiling

  • Awesome Anette :)

  • heh...i like it))

  • shes absolutely amazing, and such a beautiful song.

  • Beautiful....

  • I actually think this is better than Tarja's.

  • fucking awesomely amazing. she incredible. end of..

  • A bit too fast in some parts, but really good.

    I wonder how she feels being compared to Tarja all the time.

  • @pardn I don't know, I think comparing artists in general is not good. We all have our own strengths and style.

  • pidan tasta :))) [sorry for no umlauts]

  • I thought it would be horrible but...I have to admit she have done it very good!

  • OMG plis tarja is the best but antte have a great voice

  • The song suits great to her voice!!! I like her more every time I listen to her!!!

  • So beautiful! But she JUST said in the interview filmed before this that she can't speak Finnish... :/

  • She can't speak finnish and she is singing with finnish group?? Oh my God!!!

  • @hjpaddock Speaking and singing a language are a little different. Music has no barriers.

  • @hjpaddock She knows some frases and she knows what the song is about...BUT she doesn't speak finnish herself...

  • @hjpaddock she cant. But she can learn a song, do not you think?

  • though I am not Finn, I CAN notice the accent .o((((

  • Wow this is the first (old) NW song that she sings fine

  • Well done anette, she did this song really good, Tarja is better obviously, but i really like anette as well :)

  • magnifique <3<3<3<3

  • i've always liked Tarja more than Anette, but she sings this so beautifully! I love the finnish language and im trying to learn it so i can move there

  • If your not a finn or you can't understand finnish, you won't notice that her finnish is kinda... wwll, she shouldn'n have sing in some other language. I'm sorry.

  • @Soturibardi Same should go with Tarja's awful English pronunciation, then...

  • Anett sings really good, but in my opinion this song is a song for tarja's voice.... I really like Anett but it's not the same anymore..... It's a new, cool "other" band now..... anyway, i like her, she's cute :D

  • @barunka0010: 0.o 0.o0.o0.o0.o0.o

  • 2:55 LoL! Pesky umbrella XD

  • Really good. My hat goes off to her, not like Tarja, but it's very good.

  • wow its amazing! :D

  • Anette has a great voice!

  • really nice for her but i think is a bit better the version of tarja but good job anette ;D

  • it was good but Tarja...Anette sounds too young and unemotional about a completely emotional song. Tarja did better.

  • she is singing a bit too fast :S

    but it's good :) it's obvious that she improved her voice :)

  • Now this was a marvelous surprise!

  • i don't like this version, anette is very pop, and the pronunciation of the words is wrong!

  • Anette did a great job with this song (don't know Finnish lol so I don't know for certain lyric-wise) but the tone is great and she has a "softer" voice than Tarja it seems, which is nice to hear

  • This was better than i expected. I am half-Finn, and have been hearing a lot of Finnish lately. There is definitely an accent, but still very good.

  • She's not as good as Tarja,

    because she's not Tarja and she's not Finnish.

    But I still think she sounds beautiful.

    The languages are very different, and with that

    said, she was still amazing.

  • Wow, this is gorgeus!

  • I have no Idea of what the bloody song says, but she sings it with so much emotion that I was nealy in tears when I saw this video, its amazing of how much she has improved, GO ANETTE!!!

  • i loved anette's voice in this song!! it was very beautiful and sweet as always :D its cute too that we can hear her accent too! lol i thought that was a great performance

  • SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!! Not like Tarja but still amazing ^^

  • Not like Tarja: you mean she's worse than her or she's different?

    I like Annette's version more..

  • Surprisingly good!! I wonder how good her Finnish really is nowadays.

  • When I saw this video i was asking myself, if i should watch it, because it isn't really a song which fits to anett, but i gave this video a try and it was a positive surprise! :D

    Great job :)

  • bellissimo! (LL)

  • Anette sings like an angel :) She sings with her heart...much better than Tarja for me :)

  • i respect ur opinion but tarja and anette have they special anette is more for this kind of music and tarja fit really good in gothic songs ;)

  • Amazing! I never thought Anett's voice would ever be so...

  • More Than Beautyfil!!!

  • Oh My God!!!

    Anette you earn my respect over and over again... i just get amazed everytime you improve and improve and never stop getting better and more deserving of the place you got in Nightwish

  • I could tell a difference in pronunciation in the words, although I'm English-speaking only. She did a fine job though! ( 3:20 was a bit scary, but other than that, marvelous.) I was impressed that she performed this.

  • my finnish is better than hers .... but this video is ok. the final part sucks, but the rest is quite good :)

  • It's so lovely, but I think in the last part she gives a bit too much energy. She's so cute :)

  • wow, I am suprised ;-D Congratulations, Anette ;-D

  • Shut up people, she had mouth herpes at the

    time! That's probably why

    some of her pronunciations are wrong...

  • I love Anette´s angel voice :)

  • perfect! XD

    two splendid performances

    I LOVE ANETTE! (XXL)

  • She needs to tone down the mariah hand movements LOL

  • Terrible pronunciation!

  • Beautiful singing. Never mind perfect Finnish, t's and u's e.g. seem to be difficult for a Swedish speaking person.

  • Perfect!! I Love this!!

  • Every finnish people can understand this. Great job Anette!

  • I thing that this song is better with Anette :) for me of course :)

  • well done annette u've got an amazing voice and its also amazing that you can sing a song realy good in a different language

  • yea if I were "Suomalainen" i'd get sooo angry about her pronunciation XD

    but she's Anette, so she can be forgiven XD

  • I'm an English speaker and my preoniciation needssome working on. *:embarassed:*

  • hehe , and shes not finnish ,so another thing why she can be forgiven :)

  • I never really thought Anette would ever sing this song...aspecially because its in finnish..

    But it spunds really great,as usual!Congrats Anette!

  • I ONLY CAN SAY, BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful song but just it sounds better with tarja ... still good with anette!

  • yay! tarja is tarja the best... but anette's voice has been improved very much...

  • so amazing!

  • I love Anette´s voice. She is the BEST singer for NIGHTWISH :)

  • Tarja was the best for nightwish sweety anette is just good. her voice is to popish for nightwish

  • i believed the same thing but now i see that her voice has been improved... she can't reach tarja ofc....

  • just a quetion... do u mean that a metalband needs a classical singer to be metal?? in that case it makes no sense anette is more of a metal singer then tarja anyway.

  • that umbrella was hilarious.

  • Comment removed

  • now i am sure you are a perfect singer!

  • Watched out of pure curiosity.

    Not even 10 miles close to this. /watch?v=jJVRhbairIY

  • Anette sings like an angel, beacuse she is an angel:X

  • This is just perfect; so beautifully sung it moves to tears. Go Anette, we love you!

  • So beautifull voice and performance.

    Anette <3

  • Any finish person could tell me whether she pronounced the lyrics well or didnt, please? :D

  • Comment removed

  • The biggest flaw is that she does sing a wrong word in the beginning: She sings: Kirjoitan haaveeni nähdä sain

    when the original line is: Kerran vain haaveeni nähdä sain. In soundcheck she sing it in the right way, so that must be a result of being nervous (somebody said in the official Nightwish discussion bord that she had said after the show that she had been really nervous about singing Kuolema tekee taiteilijan.)

  • YES!! I knew there was something wring!! :-D

  • She does pronounce very well, though there is a foreign accent, but I wouldn't count it as flaw.

    She has said she doesn't speak any Finnish, so this is very good achievement from her.

    Any Finnish person can understand this. I think she has learnt this song by listening to Tarja's version, so some details can actually recur from there. Tarja does pronounce some single letters a bit oddly in this song, and I think it has influenced Anette, too. Especially the t-letters are being pronounced

  • in non-Finnish way by Tarja.

  • Actually, in the Made in Hong Kong dvd she said that she understands finnish. But she can't speak 'cause she can't put the sentences together.

  • not a Finn here, but I could compare it to the original, she did a pretty lame job pronouncing it, dissapointing since she's Swedish, she should have at least tried to roll her Rs :P but the singing was tolerable.

  • Well I know some Finns who have said that this wasn't too bad at all...and she did roll her R's. At least the ones I heard anyway. =]

  • sweden that means she doesnt speak finnish its a hell of aa try for some one who doesnt speak that language

  • Why is it dissapointing since she's swedish???

    Swedish and finnish are based on two different ways of 'singing' the words... There are more consonants in a finnish word than the word in swedish.... They also put letters together in a different way than swedes do... SO HOW is it dissapointing since she's swedish???

  • Finnish is fundamentally quite a different language than Swedish xD Pronunciation is the hardest part of learning any language, any native speaker will pick up a foreigner. I think she did a wonderful job just learning the words xD

  • I agree with anda0105.. It sounds divine... I really like it.. She should do it with NW sometime...

  • I wonder why I got a thumbs down for my comment...

  • because you were posting just to annoy those who have actually gotton over Tarja? or at least seemed like it

  • anda0105 said that it sounds divine... I agreed with her... Why would that annoy those who have actually gotten over Tarja???

    Especially since I am one of those people... I like both of them... Some songs are for Tarja and shouldn't be sung by Anette, Whishmaster for example... But I really liked this version of the song...

    Could you tell me why it seemed like it??? Doesn't Divine sorta mean Godlike???

  • Bad behaviour is always bad behaviour. You can go and comment other video's in Youtube, many videos from Suomi Safari. I am just not into any kind of wars between Tarja's and Anette's fans. Both are really great and nice persons and have their own style.

  • @TiiaSantavirta nice to know someone feels the same lol

  • Me. Criticism is ok, but You have to know how to do it. I am not interested to keep all poor comments here. Just don't watch, if not interested or if You are already against of Anette, why bother even watch.
