  • MAN this sounds so 80s. Imagine her onstage with Pat Benatar, Patty Smythe, VIXEN, OR HEART. I have been telling people she is a rocker.I met her and hung out at the stage in 08 when NW came to ProgPowerUSA where I am involved.My God did she not stand still.You guys need to checkout Nightwish Lowlands 2008.I saw & met them only 2 weeks after that show, so the Lowlands thing was the exact same sets.Watching it, you keep wondering if she's gonna work herself to death.She almost did that same year.

  • alright to everyone insulting annete and nightwish, this isnt nightwish its alyson avenue so stop with the complaints about nightwish fighting over it here wont do you any good at all so just go complain on a nightwish video

  • Snygge Svärra är bäst!!!=)

  • Comment removed

  • Anette sounds slightly different with Alyson Avenue.

  • I relly like this song. Anette has a very Beautiful voice.

  • I like, she has a very nice voice..V EPIC!! :P

  • Beautiful voice

  • IMO she should have stayed here. I like her in NW but Alyson Avenue was badass.

  • great song :) best singer ever! :D

  • if this is pop can we have it in the uk please instead of the real c**p that is in our charts!?! great music! btw i love tarja and nw but I think anette is fantastic too! i am so glad this music is on here!

  • Nightwish is not dead, it has done a metamorphosis.

  • How come can we exactly "stop talking" about Nightwish, when it's her present job?

    Anyway, I used to be one of those people who stopped listening to new Nightwish. You know why? Because I was afraid that Anette's voice might not fit songs composed for Tarja to sing. But obviously I was wrong - some of them even sound better.

    Go on and find them - you should never be afraid of something that just might be an improve.

  • ESTA GENIAL *0* XOXO

  • hey,haters,where are you ?? :D Why don't you now say that she can't sing ?? :D Anette is a great singer and no one can't change this fact !!!

  • I knew there was a place for her. She should quit NW and rejoin this band, it fits her! Sounds good Annette!

    Tarja, rejoin NW! plzkkthx!

  • wtf is up with these asses? seriously just give it a rest already Anette is amazing just cause tuomas hired her for new vocalist doesnt mean you can boo here god. this was way back before nightwish so just give it a rest move on with your lives. Don't be so judgmental god its worst then people that have issues with gay people >.>

  • si, hubiera sido mejor que Anette se quedara con su banda, porque ella no es mala pero nightwish no es su estilo.

  • BUena voz

  • Anette is much better with her own band.Tuomas plays keyboards over her voice in Nightwish.

  • This band would still exist...do they? Anette's voice was different,but now it's more mature in Nightwish.

    Well,really a good band!

  • stop talking about tarja vs anette, they're both awesome

  • you can hear that this was a while ago. even though this sounds cool too she has become lots better these days. cool to hear somethingof her old days though^^

  • Sure, Anette has a different voice compare with Tarja... but, just think: if Tuomas had taken another lyric singer like Tarja... What people would have said? Exactly the same thing with Anette... If we love a band, we like especially its music and its universe and not only its voice... (sorry, my english is bad ^^ )

  • This isn't NW ok, so please just shut up about this PETTY Tarja V Anette argument!

    Anyway, I love this song!

  • Hope you all are aware of that Alyson Avenue has another band aswell. Not AoR genre but a bit harder. All members are the same except anette, the band has a male singer. Check it out on my uploads, have a few of their songs uploaded. Second Heat

  • thank you,

    That's the way I see it ;D

  • I can't believe ppl are still talking about the whole tarja vs anette thing. It's been years... time to move on. I personally like both versions of Nightwish. Besides, as a fan of both versions of Nightwish, I would rather the band split like it did than for the band to try to go on with so much animosity towards each other. Now tarja is happy as a solo artist and the rest of the band is happy with a new singer. It's just the fans who seem to be bothered by it.

  • awsome voice

  • I know. I love her voice!

  • why are you guys talking about tarja and nightwish? This is Alyson Avenue. This has nothing to do with it except for the fact that the singer is now in nightwish. Come on people.

  • what you talkin bout tarja for ._. anette puts out energy just as good XD damn she makes the crowd go wild XD

  • come on and hep hep hep XD

  • Hair metal

  • whattttttever

  • Better than nightwish with annette

  • i kinda agree with palemoon but in kicking tuomas out but tarja & anette singing together in the band would be epic

  • uhm yall nightwish is the older band

    WAY older than alyson avenue by about 4 years

  • I don´t think so! AA started -89!

  • They sound like some rock bands in the 80's.. i don't like it really... I prefer Nightwish.. with Tarja, of course... and NO I don't like Tarja's work solo.

  • Are ya mad, guy?? I agree with you till the point you speak about tuomas. If he quit, there's no nightwish anymore... He's the composer, remember?? Without his songs, what anette or Tarja will sing?? O.o

  • Well, I didn't try, in my comments above, discuss the importance of Nightwish or Alison Avenue ... I just put my opinion. I do not mind if Alyson Avenue is the oldest ... I just do not like. Simple. And another thing. What do you consider important or obvious may not be as important or obvious to others. And you are a girl? lol Sorry, honey!

  • Can we not talk about Nightwish on an Alyson Avenue video?

  • People we can talk for days because we can express our feelings and we`re free to do that whenever we want but think a little bit: is there something goin` to change? Anette will go on with Nightiwsh, and Tarja will go on by her own. Insted of saying bad words and starting stupid fights why can`t we at least try to respect them for the music they work so hard for. And by the way; the music, the studio work, all of that is for us, the fans...think a little bit about that..

  • I really like this music and anette is ok in it but I think she's meant for nightwish which is perfect for her right now.

  • Exactly :) Anette is perfect for Nightwish

  • Anette sing much more in the Alyson, your voice is really free like the song name ahahaha... Your belting is more strong much better of Nightwish version. I real love your voice!!! PERFECT

    Alyson without Anette is nothing...

  • Oh rly? Well fuck you very much for the precious and very reasonable comment :)

    I am fuckin sick and tired of comments like that, so please, bitch - or whoever you are - go hang yourself with your way of thinking, with all of "oh mi gosh ama only-Tarja Fan! oh mi gosh there is no Nightwish without Tarja! oh mi gosh it's PopWish"... and with the rest of shit. I hate all of you. You are ruining my nerves.

  • Yeah, and you supposed to go and hear how Tarja is singing live, cause I think you didn't do it yet. If you will i think your "Tarja fangirl scale" will decrease alot.

  • Tarja is doing extremely well and has just toured several cities in Canada and the US. Her band is getting a lot better than they were when they started out, and she's working on a second album.

    Look up any of her recent performances, you'll see she's sounding REALLY good.

    BTW, I'm a guy, not a chick.

  • @justanamehere,are you sick or what???,Anette it's the best singer in the world you stupid motherfucker,did you know what it's THE REAL MUSIC???,asshole go and hear something that you become a man

  • @MetalHead9415

    Are you some sort of gay douchebag, or just a douchebag? If you think Anette Olzon is the "best singer in the world", you are truly one fucked up idiot. She wouldn't even be that great of a karaoke singer, can't hold a note too well, is off tempo, off pitch, and generally sucks ass all around.

    She was ok with her pop band Alyson Avenue, but has totally destroyed Nightwish.

    It's obvious she blew the band to get her job.

  • @justanamehere Alyson Avenue isn't a pop band

  • I enjoyed reading that :)

    Your dead on tho. Anette <3

  • Comment removed

  • @andzikowa M8 get a grip !! how many mega rock bands have had member changes ? they have also gone on to do even greater things and continue playing there type of music. to say there is  no nightwish without tarjai is bullshit !! yes she was good but now its Antte's turn. so just take a few more vallium and you be fine....

  • @alzys1771 Ok... And what is your problem now?

  • wanker

    u suk ass twat face

    anette is awsome

  • It's your way of thinking

    I see u don't have any REAL arguments to show how Anette is bad and futile, and u have to reach for such stupid and pitiful bullshit.

  • I could give you a detailed critique of Anette's skills, or lack of them, if you'd like.

    Honestly, she sounds pretty good in this particular recording. She should have stuck to this style of music, and encouraged her fellow band members to get some motivation, as they did sound good enough to score some album sales.

  • this guy goes to EVERY anette vid and complains.

  • look if you dont like her then why the fuck do u keep keep watching them fuck face

    mmmm thx but she couldnt shes dead faggot

  • Lying fucktard, do your neigbors a favor and go slit you're wrists.

    What, you're saying that you NEVER had a fucking mom? What'd you do, get hatched by fucking demons?

    Wouldn't surprise me.

  • and you're supposed to be adult?

    you TRUELY are THAT asshurt about her singing?

    it's nice to know a complete stranger can get to you with her sucess alone.

  • "it's nice to know a complete stranger can get to you with her sucess alone. "

    Huh? Don't get your panties in a bunch kid, I was talking to someone else. I could give a shit how terrible Anette sings, it's the idiots that get all bent out of shape if you don't call her the queen of rock and jizz your pants just by hearing her name.

    Anette obviously sucks but I was trying to be nice at first by saying she sounded good here. Then people started giving me shit, so I let my real thoughts out.

  • your assumptions about me are fail

    but i thinks it's funny you would go to a video about her and her old band to complain, and then complain when people get bitchy at you

    but you do and say the same things with Tarja

    GOD FORBID anyone say anything bad about her

    scuse me whilst i roll my eyes.

    and how childish are you really to assume that a woman had to give out sexual favors to get anywhere?

    go back to highschool, seriously

  • "but i thinks it's funny you would go to a video about her and her old band to complain,"

    Hey shit for brains, my first comment here was that her and her old band sounded good together..

    People marked it down, so I added some observations that went beyond what I had originally said.

    You and others like you aren't happy unless you're fighting with someone..

    Go fuck yourself.

  • hmmmm, is that a bit of asshurt that I sense?

    It is!

    Lol, don't be a puss b/c someone pointed out the fact that you're a hypocrite.

    the same observations could be made about Tarja considering she was always ALL OVER the guys, esp. Toumas

    But, I don't make them. I enjoy her for her music, unlike you who is still throwing a temper tantrum over something that happened years ago, and was bound to happen anyway. ( on a different bands video nonetheless.)

  • "the same observations could be made about Tarja considering she was always ALL OVER the guys, esp. Toumas

    "

    And you are a lying cocksucker. She was friendly with them, but they were pricks to her. Just as you LOVE to suck pricks, you project your gay love of cock to everyone else.

  • HAHAH, what did I just say?

    You say what you want about Anette, but god forbid someone speculate about Tarja as you are doing.

    If you can't take what people say about her, then dont do the reverse about Anette.

    oh, and I never said Tarja WAS doing anything.

    I said the same could be assumed about her.

    Learn to read jackass.

    And loving cock isn't gay when you're the opposite sex you dumbass.

  • "and how childish are you really to assume that a woman had to give out sexual favors to get anywhere?"

    After hearing her sing live on MANY different NW videos, I can't see her getting her job in NW without some other talents beyond singing. She DID say in an interview that she was VERY persuasive with Tuomas to get the job. He had originally turned her down, but she said she ALWAYS gets what she wants, she's VERY persausive.

    Yeah, I bet she is.

  • If arguing the the highly fail assumption of sexual favors, is all you can muster for a bitch fit about her getting the job, then you're arguments are automatically invalid.

    Argue about voice, argue about genre, argue about talent, then maybe you will be of some importance.

  • Fuck all of those cunt Tarja whores, they suck. Just like that bitch Tarja, that fucking whore of light. We hate her for her fucking sweetness, her sicking purity and sweetness, that fucking bitch of light. We the angels of Darkness will destroy her and all that she holds dear.

    Hail Satan, and Hail Tuomas and Anette, the King and Queen of Darkness.

    And thank you Akoro for helping us.

  • Okay, first off, I can't believe you're going to go as low as calling her a whore. Umm, excuse me, who was probably going off somewhere with their manager instead of rehearsing with the band? Sure as hell wasn't Anette.

    *And don't take that as a pun against

    Tarja because I like her,

    but I can't believe with that whole ordeal

    you're calling Anette the slut.

  • And BTW, don't put words in my mouth, I didn't call Anette a whore, although she sure acts like one and appears to have gotten her job by being one.

  • Okay, this right here-"she sure acts

    like one and appears to have gotten her job

    by being one"- that is YES, basically

    calling her a whore or slut or whatever word

    you want to use there.

    And how does she ACT like a whore by

    the way???I'm just trying to see your side

    of that and I see no

    evidence that she's acting like a whore.

  • She hangs all over Marco like a slut when she sings Everdream for example. Also, she's worn skirts on stage that barely covered her snatch at times,

  • Number 2- if you hate Anette so much,and I assume you do because you go to every video with her and comment on how much, or who in your opinion,she may "suck". Why do you even waste you time?! If you don't like her, make a hater video like all the others, get it out of your system, and shut up about it.

  • I started by commenting how she sounded pretty good in the clip, then people started giving me shit, so it went downhill from there. Anette is ok for some types of music, but not NW, and that is a fact. She overcompensates for her lack of musical ability by trying all sorts of different gimmacks, from HEP HEP to short skirts. It's sort of sad.

  • Yes I get that, but I disagree that she's better with Alyson Avenue I don't like this type of music really is what my problem with this is. I only like one AA song and it's "Another Night".

    And she doesn't hang all over them they're just trying to interact while on stage.I'd rather see her hanging on him looking like she's having fun, then standing off to the side.And she usually has black tights, leggings or high boots on when she wears short skirts.But I still wouldn't say she dresses slutty.

  • Have you ever seen Tarja perform? She certainly does more than just "stand off to the side". Look up End of an Era, and From Wishes to Eternity. Her energy is epic.

  • Yeah when she knows it's being

    recorded of course she looks energetic

    but I'm not talking about Tarja,

    I'm talking about performers in general.

    Anyway, that's off topic

    we're talking about Anette here.

  • her energy sucks

    i hate when tarja does the guitar strum thing or

    like she's shaking dice. or taps the beat. it's annoying. although yes her singing does sound great.

  • You think Tarja puts out too much energy when she performs? ? Myself, I like the extra energy, that's why I prefer her in NW, the band's energy was incredible.

  • nothing wrong with extra enegy, it's what she does with the extra enegy.

    I personally don't care who sings, I like Nightwish

    for what Nightwish is. There are other 4 members in the band too! The real musicians.

  • Back when Tarja was in the band, there were 5 real musicians.

    Singing classically is more difficult than playing an instrument, and not everyone can do it.

    You can replace a person playing an instrument easier than a gifted vocalist, since another person can play the same instrument in a very similar way, but each person has their own unique voice, making it harder if not impossible for another person to duplicate.

  • @IDislikeCowards That's so true. It's a shame not a lot of people understands...

  • What I see her doing with that extra energy is filling the songs with passion and making them come alive, giving them almost a magical quality.

    This is what made Nightwish famous and so popular, it was that epic quality that their performances had which put them ahead of other bands within the same genre..

  • ps...I wish she would atleast do one windmill

  • if it was a fact she wouldn't be in nightwish, its an opinion an one i can respect but disagree with:) am not arguin or anything because you are entitled to it

  • "He had originally turned her down"

    Well... He turned her down first because of her kid. Anette sent some live material of her performances with Alyson Avenue to Tuomas and then he was convinced. At least that's how I remember it went.

  • Her voice was PERFECT for this type of music. She should have tried to get THIS band more attention, they were pretty good.

  • This sounds amazing.

    I love it.

  • looool at piszov

  • Nightwish may not be the 1st orchestral metal, but it is by far the best ever, nuff said.

  • well....she is really great in this kind of songs and this style of music but she does not fit in the NW songs...the NW lyrics are too powerfull for her voice and she hasn't got this style of singing.

  • I like annette because when sings I feel she sings that me to I feel it as close to the ear as his voice for that reason takings said that its voice was REAL - NEAR Annette not only sings with its voice without not with its BODY thing that tally not towards if not movia that is another thing Rokzzz Annette

  • 1:17 annete without makeup xD

  • Her vocals here remind me of Joey Tempest's.

    She sounds amazing.

  • oh my god - she looks strange in here

    but i like her - and her voice

  • Anette is great. No doubts of that. So fuck off anette haters.

  • Lol, where do you see britney in her? xd

  • lul tze hairz!!!! xD

    never heard the song before, how old is it?

    remembers me on 80's music... but i like her voice, it's so... fragile but powerful

  • I think it's from 2000 or 2003...

    But somehow it's old xD

    And it really sounds like 80's.

    And that's what I love in AOR music :)

  • I don't like her voice.. I know it's because Im too used to Tarjas voice, but we have to move on, everything changes at one point.. :/

  • Great voice! but i like her better now that she's fronting Nightwish.

  • love her voice!! she's great!!

    <3

  • I love Anette!!!

  • could all of you please stop discussing about tarja here? this video is about anette and alyson avenue, there's no tarja anywhere!

    Anette is a good singer in her own special way, just accept it and get a life...

  • I love her voice

  • Anette and Tarja both have a unique vocal style. And are two of my favourite female singers.

    I don't compair them. I love them both.

  • 'Anette and Tarja both have a unique vocal style.'

    Not really.

    Tarja's style (classical vocals) became a trend in female fronted Metal bands: Abonos, Epica, Operatika, Tristania, Leaves' Eyes, Katra, Forever Slave, Aesma Daeva, Therion, Ad Vitam Aeternam, Coronatus, etc.

    Anette's style (BELTING/CHEST VOICE), is a common Metal singing style, just like GROWLING/SCREAMING: Iron Maiden, Epinikion, Beautiful Sin, Nemesea, Sinergy, Mortal Love, Autumn, UnSun, etc!

    -->

  • Yeah that´s true BUT don´t forget that Therion created symphonic metal,so every band with this style is following Therion!!

  • I wasn't talking about the genre! I was talking about the style of singing (classical style - falsetto, mixed voice and/or head voice)! Lori Lewis, for example, uses mainly head voice, which is pleasant to the ears & not boring! :D

    But belting has THE BEST sound! :D

  • That's more of an opinion- Belting has its place, and so does choral/operatic singing.

  • No way! Belting has a crystal-clear, light, beautiful sound!

    Most of the classical singers DO sound like they have food in their mouths, LOL! Belting sounds much better!

    Anette rules! She sounds better in Nightwish, by the way!

  • no,Nightwish created symphonic metal,and even if they didn't it doesnt mean that everyone is following the one who started it all!!

  • Lol no,hahaha Therion created symphonic metal!! =)

    Nightwish came sometime later(2 or 3 years after)...but no I never said that Nightwish is a copy of Therion if thats what you think,Therion and nw are totally diffetent!! A similar band to Therion would be Epica or Haggar...but nw is not alike at all!!

  • uumm, Therion created symphonic metal that's truth.. but.. the way you say that Nightwish is a copy of therion is not right.. 'cuz Nightwish is better and different... Epica isn't similar of therion.. Epica is similar to After forever, Haggard isn't Symphonic metal, is Death Melodic Metal.. you're wrong man

  • First of all you cant prove that Nightwish is better,it is just your opinion,yeah Therion and Nw are totally different,and I think Therion is better anyway!! Yeah Epica is much more similar to AF than to Therion,but we could say they are similar cause of the choirs!

  • about choirs! man please, a lot of bands have choirs like therion! that's so wrong

  • But Therion is the best at choirs,and Epica is the closest one to Therion greatness,well Tristania,Sirenia and After Forever are close too!! Btw did you listen to Herr Manneling by Haggard??? or listen to Hijo de la Luna!!

  • and lol Haggard..melodic death metal?? lol they are Symphonic power metal listen to Herr Manneling and tell me what does it have of death metal!! It does have grunts,but that doesnt make them death metal! Actually they are the band with the most classical influences! ( I dont want to fight,so dont take anything as an offense)

  • i'm not fighting, but anyway... look at Epica, they're Symphonic Metal right? okey, they've songs like Feint (Power ballad) , Replica (Heavy metal) that's a cover, and others , it doesn't mean that Epica is a heavy metal band, Haggard has Herr Manneling, but The Same haggard members said that they're Metal with death melodic influences, but not symphonic

  • Yeah we´re not fighting!!! Yeah Epica sounds Gothic sometimes too....well if you said Haggard said that...well I believe you-but you cant deny they have more classical influences than death metal ones...I knew they were symphonic..but im not totally sure...but they dont sound death metal,well labes aren´t really important,are they??

  • --> Anette has vocal skills (versatility, breath control, tonality, great vocal range, etc.)! She's able to sing any type of music & use any type of voice/vocal register! I love her, she's simply fantastic!

    Tarja is a good singer & she suits classical music very well & her solo album is really great! She rocks too!

    I love Nightwish! And Anette is awesome in Alison Avenue as well! :D

  • This reminds me a bit of Edenbridge. She kind of sounds like Sabine Edelisbacher (sp) I think I like it!

  • I love and support Anette Olzon!!!

  • Awesome song bty.

  • nice, but she is better in nightwish

  • Tarja was going to go on her solo career anyway. Why do you think they named it End of an Era? Can you think of a better singer to replace Tarja thats available easy access and willing to do the job, I sure can't? If your so against Nightwish go listen to Kamelot or Epica both of which I love.

  • This is pretty cool. Makes me think of Toto for some strange reason...

  • Hahaha... it kind of does! Really upbeat, happy rock and roll with heavy guitars.

    Ahh now you just got me addicted to Rosanna again! Once I listen to that song once I end up listening to it 50 times, haha. =D

  • here i have to say that i like her better...

  • Where can I find the lyrics to this song?

    Also, are their CDs still available?

  • Brunette suits her better.

  • i CAN'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE. OK, YOU MAY NOT LIKE ANETTE. WHY CALL HER BITCH OR SUCKING OR ANYTHING?

    GOOOOD!

    BTW, I LOVE NETTAN. SHE'S A GREAT SINGER AND IS WORTH WHAT SHE WAS GIVEN BY FATE.

  • Heck yes!

  • great voice!!!

  • You suck ;)

  • Anette has a great voice :) I'm happy she's with Nightwish.

  • wow, I'm surprised. Her earlier stuff was great. I far prefer her with dark hair though!

  • Anette is blonde again. Check the Los Angeles vid. :)

  • I like this song so much!!

    and I prefer her with black hair (:

    ANETTE FOREVER!

  • me too!

  • yeah, whatever, stop dissing Anette, have you heard any of her interviews? She took Night wish as a job opportunity, which I can appreciate and she does a pretty damn good job if you ask me, she's a DIFFERENT PERSON than Tarja, so of course she is going to sing differently. The fact is all the hard core Tarja fans are never going to be satisfied w/ anyone else but her. So get over it and give her a chance.

  • HELL YEA!!!! :D

  • thank you FINALLY someone hu thinks the same ppl hu keep hatin on annete need to get over themselves Tarja is gone and she aint comin bac

  • Anette should had stayed with them instead of joining Nightwish and turning them into pop metal.

  • haha i was going to write something like that. i think you spoke everyone who fells the same way

  • She's so much more beautiful with black hair

  • wow very nice song ! Aweome Anette ... :) but this blonde hair ... all people have any ''weird'' season :P

  • Nice song :) The black hair is too better for Anette

  • Barbie is hotz

  • I Love This Song.

  • I hate the blond version...:D...:P....
