  • This is not Nettie's best version, I heard another live perfomance that was better (but lasted about a minute). Fortunately she has improved inmensely compared to the first years. BTW, AOR is not the same as pop, as many insist. Opera isn't metal either. Nightwish was always a hybrid, and as such it has evolved. Some may not like it, but you can't stop it. Ever forward.

  • I'm tired of this comparison..

    If I was to compare Bruce Dickinson with Paul Di Ano I could never choose as opposed Iron Maidens similar Story

    With Annetes voice the song is More ROCK.. more METAL..

    and I still like it this way..

  • @pavcon Are you high? In what UNIVERS is Anette's voice more METAL than Tarja's?

  • @Porte87 in the metal scene.. get real.. Tarja is overacting..

  • @pavcon Well... we've got a Bieber fan amongst us. YES! Definitelly. Compared to Lady Gaga, Anette Rocks... and I wouldn't be 100% sure either.

  • @Porte87 since when operatic singing is metal? just saying...

  • @madmacmac Since when is POP singing metal??

  • @Porte87 pop is britney or rihanna... whatever popular singing is whoever does not sing operatic... now there are so many styles... she doesn't sing hardcore metal 4 sure, but she isn't pop. BTW if you don't like her why are watching her videos at 2012? c'mon! 5 years later, u already know u dont like her!

    are u trying to be a troll for fun or just have some repressed resentment?

    Let me tell you something I'm against bullying ... but at least bullies've got the courage to show their faces!

  • @madmacmac Agreed!

  • Shit, this is one watered down version of Sleeping Sun, sorry.

    And not necessarily because Anette is singing it, she just happens to be in the middle of the crossfire, because this song is in another vocal level.

    If the singer, whoever she or he is, is not at THAT level this song has been placed on, it will sound watered down no matter what. Period.

  • You guys hating on Anette are dicks... period. This is not Tarja's shit... it belongs to Toumas and the rest of Nightwish. Anette does well enough for the band and their older albums. Nightwish is doing their thing like they always have.

  • She have a very good voice!

  • Sigh. Shouldn't Marco pull this off (an octave lower) instead?

  • if u want u can watch my singing cover of te same song in my own channel :)

    Thank u!

  • Tarja chytne za srdíčko tím jak zpívá,..Anete je jak já v koupelně, tedy nic moc..ale baví jí to :D

    One of the most beautiful song .. it was sung with feeling, depth, and dare I say heavenly voice. Aneta has a voice in local Parbat, .. and should rather sing new songs ... not for someone whom has a voice to "pack" it has been nice.

    Tarja grabs the heart by singing, Aneta .. is how I do in the bathroom, then nothing much .. but I enjoy her: D

    Dejte Anetě řízek raději :o))

  • Anette dont ruin this song plsss.....

  • shit this bitch sings very very very bad who the hell told her that this bitch could be a singer Tarja please return to nightwish is not the same without you

  • omg she sucks :|

  • Hannach

    tato skladba je postavená přímo pro Tarju ,zpěv Anett i kdyby zpívala sebe líp víc z toho nedostane v jejím podání tam chybí ta krása toho dalšího hudebního nástroíje ,které Tarja svým hlasem tvořila.Těžko se zpívají skladby po někom ,kdo zpíval tak jako ona.Kapela Nigthwish původní sestava byla skvělá jak hudebně tak svým tajemnem a mystikou a to je dělalo originální.

  • It'd be interesting if Tarja sang the new Nightwish songs such as Amaranth. yes I prefer the old Nightwish version as well. But they have a right to play their old songs at the concerts. After all Toumas wrote them, he decides who sings them.

  • Its just one person who can sing this song perfectly.

    Tarja Turunen<33

  • Mientras escuchaba la cancion trate de imaginar que es la primera vez que la escucho... y me parecio bastante emotiva su interpretacion..

    Saben.. yo hubiese apreciado mas a Anette como cantante de una banda que hace tributos a Nightwish!

  • OMG, horrible, deplorable, patético, que mas puedo decir, jamas en la vida vas a superar la voz de Tarja, así que deja de cantar las canciones hechas para ella porque realmente da pena escuchar una banda tan buena con una canción tan mal interpretada

  • @Tibudina bueno tampoco es que la ubiera hecho Tarja, ojo yo adoro a Tarja, me parece que Anette como cantante de Nightwish no va, como lo dijo Jlove la ubiera apreciado tal vez como cantante de banda tributo a Nightwish porque no creo que cante mal, pero Nighwish sin Tarja no es lo mismo, jamas una cantante me conmovio tanto con su voz como ella y nadie la a superado en lo que a mi consierne tenga o no tecanica su canto llega al alma.

  • Anete canta bem ,Mas nem se compara a Tarja

  • god this is SO BAD! this song is not made for her voice. i don't understand why they are making her sing this old nightwish songs, they where made with tarjas voice in mind so OBVIOUSLY they dont fit anette or anyone below tarjas level, anette should STOP singing this old nightwish songs and stop embarrassing herself like this.

  • i must agree, this song is best with Tarja,

    Anette your song is Amaranth

  • Anette canta bien, mas bien nightwish no es para ella, tal vez funcionaría más en algo más pop

  • Her voice is too pop like for this song. They should have chosen a singer with a style more like tarja's. Anette's voice is good, but not for nightwish.

  • ooooh D:

    my poor ears...they´re blooding xDDD

  • hahaha I'm a barbie girl in a barby world ....

    You realy can't see the difference between Tarja and this confused girl ? ?

  • it is easy to see,but i don't know what few people are seeing good in Anette!

  • song,

  • my ears hurt, she shoud not sing this son!!!!!

  • Anette's a great singer, but she shouldn't sing Tarja's song, because these songs were written for tarja. this "cover" isn't soo bad at last, but "her songs" of course are better...

  • well I like it .. but she shouldn't sing songs like Wishmaster or Nemo .. they're made for tarja.

    But I like Anette's voice very much.

  • Sounds just like every other ordinary singer, Tarja was something extraordinary. And man Annette sings out of tune..it is painful to the ears.

  • @DorsY69 she sounds pop x(

  • Of course she is not going to sing like Tarja. Of course people will think bad of her for it.

    I won and I don't . She has her own distinct voice and in time people will grow to like it or not.

    Those who don't, get on with other bands.

    Those who do. Let's enjoy this music!

  • @tumppu1975 couldn't have said it better myself. Annette's voice isn't the same as Tarja's but it's good in it's own way. Anyone who expects a band to last as long as nightwish without changing is a moron. They only get stronger over time!

  • of course this is different !!!! How two persons could sing the same voice? Tarja left and the band must keep on singing also old big songs. AND this song is live version ! So can`t be compared studio version. THIS IS REALLY GOOD ! Go Anette !! Bra ! I loved it.

  • Tara T has a tru Euro voice. This singer is not even close to the level of the original singer. Advise dont remake the old hits with a substandard singer.

  • terrible...... :-O tarja is much better ...

  • anette you really SUUCKSS!!!

  • fuf, i dont like her :& tarja 4ever ;)

  • 1 word...

    SUUCCCCCCCCCKSSS!!!

  • Oh geeze... horrible. Annette, you're fantastic in the new music... please dont ruin the classics, honey... don't murder this beautiful bittersweet melody... just... stop.

  • Anette is great with the new stuff. Dont ruin Tarjas songs plz.

  • This song is just perfect for Tarjas voice. It's made for Tarja. Sorry Anette, this song is not for your voice. The new stuff is for you, Anette.

  • She is good!!!!!!!!!!

  • Well people, you could stop bitching and move on to another band. I heard the first minute of this and I'm done with Nightwish. Their dead to me

  • oh lord why, why you've done this to me?

    why Anette sings all of my fav songs by Nightwish? She ruined them...

    Exept Gethsemane and Phantom of the opera, thanks god. She doesn't sing them.

  • i'm ok with you.. ;( she ruined all wonderful songs!! oouuf phamtom of the opera!! she is very bad!! bad singer with not charisme

  • >OMG the sun is sleeping quiet year????

  • annette should stop singing tarja's songs

    if she wants us to respect her she should only sing her own songs and leave the old nightwish sons alone

    she just can't reach tarja's notes

  • she is patetic ...

    she has a good voice but tarja's voice was much better and this song sounds bad when anette is singing it !!!

  • And just because of that she's pathetic?

    PRF!

  • This isn't bad at all!!

    Sure Tarja's voice is more fit for this type of this song, but you guys are being real douches!

    Tarja's out! Move On!

    Get rid of your bias perceptions!

  • tarja's voice unreplacable to think that nightwish would even hope to replace her like that is discusting ur losing major points with me nightwish i know im just one person but screw you nightwish

  • I miss Tarja too. Annette is just ICKY

  • I agree with you! I feel the same..

  • SHE IS PATETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Annette can't even compare to Tarja's voice. They shouldn't even attempt to have a pop-singer fill Tarja's spot. NW needs to come up with new songs and not try and have Annette fill the spot. These new songs with her as the singer simply lack any emotion and feeling.

  • Agree with both of you...Annettes' voice is really good, but these songs were for Tarja's voice...

  • The old songs are not for her...

  • well i love tarja and anette.

    but this song is not good for anette's voice.

    tarja have the voice for this song (:

  • escuchar la version con tarja de cualquiera de los temas viejos y luego escucharlos cantados por annette un asco total esos temas re liricos en la memoria nomas porque en la vida anette va a llegar a tener la voz de tarja

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    horrivel.....

    vagabunda fudeu a banda

    táh louco

  • Sry 3:23 lol

  • This sounds awefull... it's not an Anette song. :(

    But darkaffinity is right: Tarja would not have been able to do Amaranth quite as well as Anette.. probaly because Amaranth is a pop song, and Sleeping Song is a more operatic, complicated syphonic song...

    The part that starts at 2:23 proves why Anette is not ought to sing this song... :( This song should be laid to rest just like Phantom of the Opera, and live in the memory...

  • she sang it a lot better when I saw the live..her voice sounds tired and tour-worn here, and I can understand it, as they toured like crazy for this record! Tarja would have never been able to keep up, I hate to say..

  • despues de leer tantos comentarios en donde se expresa sobre como canta anette

    pense.... ke sentira tarja al escuchar las canciones ke alguna vez ella interpreto, cantadas aora por anette.... :|

  • lol epic phail

  • Sounds like a karaoke version. She's not a bad singer, but she should stay in her depth where she is capable and competent. With this song she is way over her head and as we can read the sharks are striking.

  • Chicken singer!

  • FFSS

    anette you are fucking betch!

    you cant sing this song!

    Tarja you are the best

  • Show some fucking respect! Didn't your mother tell you, if you don't have anything nice to say, SHUT THE FUCK UP!?

  • This song wasnt written for annete so its quite hard for her to sing it. My favourite isnt annete or tarja it was always the whole band.

    But its true she cant sing that like tarja.. but i hope i never hear amaranth with tarjas voice=O

  • i so agree. sad to say but i think tarja would be quite disastrous with amaranth o.o

  • anette's voice is cute, but her voice isn't a quarter than tarja's voice is. fact.

  • si fuese tuomas yo saco a annette de una vez y me pongo de rodillas a Tarja para que vuelva :P jaja, claro...tuomas no esta acaso enamorado de Tarja? la saco puro por envidia de Marcelo!

  • yo opino lo mismo, Annete ha hecho lo que puede pero su voz no tiene para mas, saben yo tengo una teoria, Tarja comenzo a brillar con luz propia era la unica mujer entre tanto hombres, y no se por que que Marko contribuyo tambien para que la sacaran, hay muchos videos que demuestra antipatia hacia ella, ahora si no quieren que tarja regrese por lo menos deberen buscar otras Candidatas a mucho mejores!, Anette no tiene voz, yo se que esto no les parece a los nuevo fans pero el concepto se pierde

  • en definitiva, tienes razon, en mi opinion creo que lo de tarja fue por soberbia y estupidez de los otros en especial del maestro holopainen, y si, Anette no tiene voz, muy muy de acuerdo contigo

  • someone give me a gun...NOW...

  • Acho errado culpar apenas a Anette, quem escolheu ela pra cantar as músicas da Tarja foi o Tuomas e cia. E são hits, show do Nightwish sem Nemo eetc o pessoal reclama, e reclama se ela cantar... vai entender... A Tarja não deixou de cantar os clássicos do Nightwish, é só ir nos shows dela.

  • tarja was much better it was a stupid error to get her out of the band

  • And then i meant TARJA TURUNEN

  • Anette cant sings Nightwhish songs , just listen here, sounds like shit, she is a good songer but this kind of music she must leave over to someone who can sing it

  • anette is now a member of nightwish, u dickhead

  • ^-^ I've only listened to Anette and I kind of like her more, specially in the chorus part of this song =P but both of them are awesome :D

  • I agree=]

    Both sound different, but they're both good in their own way!

    I do love them both...but i still do (in my own opinion) prefer Tarja's!

  • Totally agree with you!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Anette and Tarja both sing this so differently... They're like 2 different songs! They're both good though :D

    GO ANETTE AND TARJA! <3 <3

  • I think Anette is a cool girl,she do her own interpretaion of Sleeping sun and she do it good !

  • You giotta hear Sleeping sun 2008, she has IMPROVED much!

  • for this song only TARJA TURUNEN!!!!!!!!!

    go tarja!!

  • Annette non vale nemmeno la metà di Tarja... Questa non è affatto sleeping sun, la vera sleeping sun, quella che fa rabbrividire dall'emozione. Tuomas si sarà sentito insultato, siccome questa è una delle sua canzoni più belle ù.ù

  • Concordo pienamente :S Questa Sleeping sun è a dir poco orribile

  • OMG

  • Me agrada bastante anette pero para esta rola solo tarja

  • dove sono finite le emozioni che mi suscitava questa canzone??? non la riconosco...tarjaaaaaaa ti adoroooooo...come te nessuno mai.

  • Già... Forever Tarja!

  • ke skifo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • massacre au micro par anette olson!!!

  • omg, this is much worse than i expected x_X

  • Very good but tarja is bettter

    Anette rocks!!!!!!!!!!!^^

  • Anette isn't a bad singer, she's pretty good, but she just isn't what made Nightwish memorable. Tarja's unique singing style is what made Nightwish such a unique band. We were all used to Tarja's voice but now Nightwish has Anette.

    Though I will never buy any of the new Nightwish albums, I will still say that Anette isn't a bad singer. The phrase at 4:11 shows what she can really do, and there aren't many vocalists that I know that can do that. We all miss Tarja, but this is Nightwish now.

  • Why wouldn't you buy any new NW albums if you like Anette as a singer? It's not like NW was ever Tarja's solo project.

  • This song should not have been touched. I don't care what you think of the whole band or Anette, Tarja made this song. Good luck to NW and Tarja on their own. But sleeping sun was liked so much BECAUSE OF Tarja.

  • Yep. U.U

  • LMAO!!! anette u suck :DDDDD

  • Only Tarja can sing thing this song.

  • This song isn't very bad:D

  • I've always loved Tarja's voice, but wasn't a fan of how she allegedly conducted herself. Nightwish is NOT Tarja, as some have claimed, particularly since she didn't contribute much more than her voice on most occasions. Anette isn't a bad singer, but definitely lacks some of the skill that Tarja blatantly possesses. Anette is more pop, whereas Tarja had more of an operatic, classical spin on it, something many fans loved (including myself). All we can do now is mourn the loss and reminisce.

  • a anette canta muito bem, se estiver quietinha, sentadinha, a pensar realmente naquilo que está a fazer, tipo em acústico. em palco torna-se mau.

    (acho que a voz dela tinha muito mais a ver com Alyson Avenue, mas enfim, foi ela a escolhida, e temos de lidar com isso, paciência. isto é que é inadmissível, LOGO A SLEEPING SUN, que é sem dúvida das melhores músicas dos NW.)

    de qualquer modo, é só a minha opinião. não tem de interessar pra nada :)

  • em palco torna-se mau. - como MUITOS artistas, é natural

  • Eu gosto da Anette e vou contra todos vcs!

  • LOL, tá nice.

    não estás sozinha, mas aconselhava uma ida ao otorrino. (SEM MÁ INTENÇÃO!)

    (quase) nada contra a anette, mas acho muito mal ela cantar as músicas 'da tarja'. devia arruinar apenas 'as dela', :x

    quer dizer, isto é um atentado aos nightwish, acho que era desnecessário e podia ser evitado.

  • AWFUL

    my god, she sings really bad, and she, obviously, cant sing tarja's songs.

    this version sucks

  • Anette was better i find it! sorry Tarija i like you but Anette is my favourite

  • Not that I disagree (100% tarjaholic!), but lets not be rude. it's useless, they chose her and we have to deal with it.

    OH WELL. As I said a lot of times, I think they didnt really need a female leadsinger. they'd do well with MARCOOO'S (L) vocals (: and that's what marco started doing first when joining a band: screaming. bass came later.

    Anyway, I love tarja, I love NW, and I'm really sorry our hears have to handle this.

    But c'est la vie,

  • "you can´t even write, so shut the fuck up, this song can´t be sing by anette"

    You dont have to be so nasty towards him just because he prefers Anettes voice..Arrogant much?

  • yes... this song was composed with Tarja in mind of course.. but Nightwish is more then one member!! when I saw them I was in awe of all the band ...not just the singer

  • Tarja :''( Sorry but annette is really bad :''(

  • Tarja Turunen was 1000x much better!!!!

  • They are trying to adopt Tarja's songs for Anette. Anette has good voice for pop singer but her voice is not capable to handle Tarja's songs. Nightwish does not exit for me after Tarja ... now it looks like a joke on the original band.

  • dai, non la canta così male!!!

  • BRING TARJA BACK !!!!

  • I AGREE!!!!sorry but this song is not 4 the Anette voice!!!

  • I totally support you!

  • tarja ist eindeutig besser. es klingt zwar nicht schlecht. aber tarja besitzt eine stimme wie ein engel. Sie sollte es besser lassen, songs zu singen die schomn tarja gesungen hat, denn tarja kann un wird sie NIE das wasser reichen können !!!

  • she sucks

  • She killed the song...

  • Comment removed

  • shes shit

  • I LOVE HER <3333

  • dios que horror! Sabia que no sonaría Nightwish igual sin Tarja... pero esto lo supera... ESPANTOSO.

  • espantoso

    Aguante Tarja Turunen

  • o pior de td eh q nao tah ruim XD mas pra quem ouviu nightwish com a tarja...qm chorou com essa musica na voz da tarja...isso nao eh nada facil de ouvir xD

  • q sacan con colacar malas calificaciones

    si los que llevamos escuchando NW desde el angel fall first, nos parece grotesco esta interpretacion

    acabado de matar esta hermosa cancion

  • wow. first time ever i hear her actually use her head voice. about time too. geesh.

  • afuera annette arriba tarjita xD

  • i don`t like her too.

  • oh god! kill her xD

    me acaba de agarrar otitis con esto, la cago de principio a fin la prefiero 3 millones de veces a britney, drogada puede llegar a cantar mejor y mas metal que anette xD

  • She Just Ruined the perfect ballad ever u.u!!

    TARJA TURUNEN <3

  • Annette sucks...

  • like Marco said in a show : "Anette sucks!"

  • NO! I want to hear Tarja!!!

  • lool sounds kinda within temptation

  • yesss. it kinda does. i like sharon better though XD

    only cause Anette refuses to use head voice. although i heard a teensy little bit of it. i wonder if she used it, ppl wouldnt criticize her so much.

  • It sounds horrible with her....I'm a male and i'm pretty sure they would be better off doing the song with me...because i dont Sing like Some Pop country garbage vocalist....The song sounds like Dirt now...when they play it to...I noticed Tuomas made a few mistakes hit a few flats and Empuu just isnt into it listen to his tone...None of them are really into it...because the lead person in the band sounds like shes been singing for 10 days..sounds like she isnt Trained at all shes Horrible.

  • i couldn't have chosen better words.. thank you for so concise description of 'new era'

  • Sorry but I don't like Anette's voice.

  • Hi Viniciuscade--You are at least a polite person, not rude and vulgar. Thanks for that!

  • She sings it differently in her own vocal range. It's good and I like it. AND I like Tarja's version too.

  • WTF!!!! esta mina no puede ni cantar en la ducha...... y estoy evitanod dar comentarios alsados de tono pero NW se fue a la Merda... de una soprano con caracter y estilo pasaron a una pop singer con poco caracter y cero de estilo.... falta que la rajen a esta y la traigan a britney

    que desperdicio de genio

  • Hasta creo que Britney podría cantar mejor esta canción que Annette....

  • this is not tajra´s song !!!

    this is a song form the BAND NIGHTWISH (Tuomas,Jukka,Marco,Emppu, Anette/ Tajra)

  • Annette is a good singer and all, but this song is majestic and she just isn't good enough to sing it, end of story. Her performance on The Poet And The Pendulum is great, she should stick to the newer stuff which was written for her.

  • tarja's version was of course better but i like this

  • Why anette sing tarja's songs..... it's horrible...

  • I don't care if I get thumbs down but this is my opinion.

    When I first heard this song I was scared that she would mess it up like "Wish I had an Angel" but I was pleasently surprised, I really like it. It's just two different versions and I can listen to either and be happy. I really like Anette and Tarja, I don't think Nightwish is dead,they didn't want an Opera singer they took a different direction and I support them. I just wish she sang Wish I Had an angel more close to the original.

  • Odd useless arpeggios are the sign of singers who have to hide their voice.... She can't sing the notes so she has to do weird fluctuating sounds. she sounds like a karaoke, it is SO SAD, it WAS my favorite song. Now, I swear, it makes me mad mad mad..... Why Thomas? why HER???

  • She's not so bad, but it's impossible compare her to Tarja sing.

    But you do the right question, why they chose a singer SO DIFFERENT?

    It would be "funny" if one day they will bring back Tarja like in a commercial 'reunion'...

  • 3:23 what was that?

  • It is a travesty.... Anette, for the love of God, do not EVER "sing" this song... what about 3:58??????

  • Well I like NW with annette i like the songs more...and the reason Tarjas version sounds better is cuz this is live!

  • Anette version of this song is a mockery :(!

  • I think that Nightwish should play just their new songs...Antte is good, but that´s all. She is just an average pop singer without anythink special. Who think that she sings it well have no ears.

  • This song has just lost its power with Anette's voice. There was a power to it. HOnestly, this sounds like what I do when I sing this song and I'm not quiting my day job for a music career any time soon. They made their choice on singers and lost a fan base that was loyal to them for years. I just can't get into Anettes voice, no biggie. I have other CD's and can follow Tarjas career so I'm happy. :) I can compromise hehe. It doesn't mean I gave up on Nightwish I'll just wait it out.

  • hang on let me get my gag bag,,yeah shes not ...buuiiick spit spit not that,,buiick that baa buick,,bad. your right just great.without tarja they suck OMG are not hearing the same thing i,am.

  • this isnt all that bad like seriously...

    nightwish will never be the same without tarja but eh times are a changing, anette shouldnt sing the older songs designed for tarja's operatic voice because it highlights the flaws of her voice.

    but still this could have benn better, but it could have been ALOT! worse.
