  • who fucking caress who vocalist is better...the structure of the song is damn fantastic doesnt need a voice to be perfect, and the lyric should be a cure against the angry the mental health

  • very bad voice!!!

  • Anette sounds really great here.

  • kkkkkkkkkkkkkk ridiculous if tuomas wanted so much to change the style of music that does not change the pace also has nothing to do with this music style with a classical singer who moans more than cat in heat I guess I kkkk since anette started singing near him ended up affecting his ears and he was half deaf. I hope she put away a dozen more kids and get out of the band ..

  • Comment removed

  • Look at her how she shines, like an Angel, which she is!

  • Excited? nothing else is standing, "accent? of course, to sing like a girl pop must have an accent, "a great voice? is probably the only woman you've heard, and what the band seems more happy with it? Are you blind? and do not convey what once did with Tarja Turunen, know that something is missing, and that's a woman with talent and style

  • What are you doing here then? This video is with "Annete's Nightwish".

    She sang it beautifully. She has personality, and a lot more emotion than Tarja did.

    Anette does her thing, and she does it well. Tarja was pretty good, but she did the same thing for 10 years, in every song. It was technically flawless, but boring and unpersonal.

  • Our sweet Anette has growing up <3

  • wow , this is pretty good oO I'm impressed too

  • If she always sang like THIS, no one would freaking dare to start any holy-wars between her and Tarja. She is here not a "apprentice" and a "protegee of Nightwish's fame" and neither she is "anti-Tarja". She is just herself and she's really awesome. The first time I could say it about her.

  • I was pretty impressed when I heard this. At first verse I was not likely to believe my ears, because Anette did not spoil a single note and all was just brilliant. This video gives some emotion that I didn't expect from Anette at all. It really touches the heart, with finally absolutely NO ear-cutting mistakes, unneeded vocal "exercises",nothing of it. Up to the end she was doing really something, with her voice as sensitive as possible. Really as she can, not copying anyone. Best Anette's act.

  • I was there

  • I like JTH with Marco, Emm, Toum and Juc... they are the best in this songggggg, i don´t like Anette

  • 1. she sings with much more emotion

    2. she has a better accent

    3. she is a lot better live and she's a better frontwoman

    4. she has a great voice

    5. the band seems happier and performs better with her

    Just one thing missing....

    6. She has a much better communication with the audience at a live show.

  • Agree with you !!!

  • Do you mean Anette or Tarja ?

  • Anette

  • I agree ;-)

  • Although Anette is a very good singer, I think she is too unexperienced to handle songs from a band like Nightwish. Since Tarja left, the complete sound of Nightwish changed. I, for myself, liked the sound with Tarja more than I like it with Anette. Anyhow, their music is GREAT!!

  • The reality isn't that Nightwish changed only for Anette. Tuomas changes and so do all the other members. They change with every album. It would have changed again even if Tarja had been on their 6th full album. Everyone is entitled to prefer ones voice to another but it's important to recognize that Nightwish will always be evolving and so will their music regardless of who is singing

  • I agree with rick17543, Anette has an awesome voice, but she lacks the vocal range and singing technique that Tarja was known for. Annette seems to struggle in the higher ranges where Tarja would breeze through no problem. But I'm also hopeful that with time, Anette will become more experienced and reach a higher level of singing.

  • Amazing <3

  • this is just beautiful!

  • 1. she sings with much more emotion (right)

    2. she has a better accent (RIGHT)

    3. she is a lot better live and she's a better frontwoman (not sure at all)

    4. she has a great voice (right)

    5. the band seems happier and performs better with her. (absolutelly right!!)

    THANKS YOU VERY MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS VIDEO!

    I loved it since the 1st time I saw it!!

    5 stars!!

  • @r4xNW

  • @r4xNW Excited? nothing else is standing, "accent? of course, to sing like a girl pop must have an accent, "a great voice? is probably the only woman you've heard, and what the band seems more happy with it?

  • @r4xNW hey that's my old account!! :')

  • @r4xNW

    You are deaf (right)

    You also may be blind (right)

  • I'm not a fan of Anette's but this proformance was actually better then I expected. One of the old songs she does well, just please keep her away from the songs with a higher range.

  • GOING TO SEE THEM WEDSNDAY!!! SEPT 24th!!

  • Hey man sorry your Nightwish show got canceled =(. I'm just wonderin, did you still go to see Sonata Arctica?

  • Some guys forget that this is Nightwish, not Anette or Tarja version of a song. This is a very powerful and beautiful song about the blood of many native americans, and Anette gives very well the message. Both Anette and Tarja are great singers, but the most important thing is the band, not the main singer!

  • True that. Sad thing though is that we're the only two Nightwish fans that know that apparently.

  • add one more to that.

  • One more... I have a problem with people who doesn't see where the true spirit/soul of a band that writes it's own music lies...

  • I can't follow you..

  • I was talking about people who doesn't see that Toumas is the soul of the band... Not Tarja... And then when I said one more, I meant that I'm a fan who agrees to the fact that the band is the most important thing and not the main singer...

  • One more.

  • I do agree!! But I do Like This With Anette more than Tarja!! Anette sings very sweet the nightwish ballads... but Sleeping Sun!! Sleeping sun sounds better way with tarja!! But this one is gr8!! Anette rocks!

  • Sindasha. A correction, classical trained singers don´t sing by emotions. They sing by notes. Anette sings by her heart, not by what a classical teutor thought her.

  • reindeerride: i totally aggree with you. tarja sings without any emotion... she just sings(probably, that's why nightwish didn't have many ballads with tarja). anette might not have a unique voice like tarja's but:

    1. she sings with much more emotion

    2. she has a better accent

    3. she is a lot better live and she's a better frontwoman

    4. she has a great voice

    5. the band seems happier and performs better with her.

  • se oye muy bien con Anette, esta canción es de mis favoritas, estoy seguro que en vivo se escucha mucho mejor =]

  • wow she sounds reli good in this one :) im impressed she sounds good i nan old song :) she just cudnt hit the notes in any other songs that tarja did

  • She is the best in slow song from old NW but in DPP she rocks so good. I love her for voice and smile and her beautiful heart :)

  • beautiful!

  • What do you mean?

  • I think its just as good as it was with Tarja, mostly because this song doesnt have many high notes, so I think Anette is really good!

  • This song fits perfect with Anette!

    So did it with Tarja

  • Perfect <3

  • Anette owns it!

    Yeaaah |m| Fantastic! =D

  • OMG i had no idea Annette was doing this song!!! she is fantastic though...i am so glad this song will continue to be sung, it is amazing!

  • Annette has a warmer voice. I like it.

    Not that I didn't like Tarja's...Tarja was good on Nightwish's more...cold, gothic, romantic songs. Which were beautiful, but that's her strength. With Annette, it's almost more, idk, earthen, emotional.

    Ah, well; Nightwish is Nightwish, and will forever be Nightwish. ^^ I will support that all the way.

  • this may be blasphemy but I like the way Anette sings THIS particular song better than Tarja. I hope they play this when they come back to NY.

  • I love Anette voice. She is GREAT !

  • There's only one response to this.

    Wow.

    That is all.

  • Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavo! Bravísimooooooooo! Viva Nightwish!

  • Ona jest booska w tej piosence

  • Wszystko fajnie, Anetko brawo

  • Tarja was excellent in this piece .... But Anette is probably even better

  • très remplis d'émotion. mais je ne peux pas dire si je préfère avec elle ou avec tarja. les deux sont magnifiques. En fait la chanson elle-même est splendide. tuomas est extraodinaire

  • I really dig her style!!

    Can't wait to see them live nextmonth

  • I think Anette has adjusted quite well with the band. Alot of people were really down on her at first.

    This song is so meaningful, so very beautiful, whether Tarja or Anette sings it

    Nightwish 4-ever

  • I must say Anette kicks ass in this song, so powerfull feeling voice.

    I think this is her best old song performance.

  • beautiful song and anette sing it very good. thanks

  • this song are so funking GOOD!! thaks tuomas for this excelents notes and music

  • This song is REALLY made for Anette's voice! Or, no, but it sounds like it is.

    It makes me cry, it's so emotionally and full of fellings..

    Anette I adore you <3

  • I´m speechless. She sings this song incredible good! Damn, why did they not play this one in germany to???

  • the two last refrains are soooo beautiful...

    I can die for this song...

    Why didn't they play it in PL dammit... xP

  • Anette has awesome voice and this song is nice and better than Tarja

  • I just adore this song, for me it's their best of "Once", and probably their most consistent song ever! Unlike "Ghost Love Score" for example, CMB makes so much sense overall...

    The interpertation of Anette and Tarja is very different. Tarja was more dramatic, gave a more epic feeling to the song, Anette has a more humble approach, as a respect to those who died in song's story.

    Anyway, both interpretation are awsome, I just adore this song :)

  • This is very nice! Anette gives to the song completely different point of view :) it has more feeling... I like both Tarja's and this version.

  • i think this is a perfect *up yours* to all those people saying anette cantsing any of "tarja's" songs...

  • I don't like your language, but I totally agree with you XD

    Go on Anette!

  • sorry, but i felt for this situation it is badly needed. i just get so annoyed with the "who's the better singer" deal...

  • I'm Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way, I'm so sick of all the crap and negative comments whether they are about Annette or Tarja

  • Anette does some songs justace such as this one. However the more demanding ones such as "Wishmaster" she ends up blowing. They should go through the set and drop the "Dramatic epic" ones such as Wishmaster in favor for the gentler ones such as this, and Nemo, and possably Wish I had an Angel.

  • "Wishmaster" is a dramatic epic song? X'D Then what is Creek Mary's Blood after all? "Wishmaster" is simply a metal song nothing more than that, no epic feeling there.

  • What I mean is in the higher range and more dictation. I mess up on Wishmaster sometimes just because of it's tempo and dictation.

  • Wonderful!! It makes me cry ç_ç You can really feel the sadness of the song when she's singing...

  • oh man this is absolutely amazing

    i loooooooove anette<3333

    her voice fits so many of the older songs better than they did tarja's imo

    ..but i will always love tarja too =]

    no i just wanna hear her sing ghost love score and swanheart!!!

  • tell me about it. i never liked nightwish before they had anette - i always loved the music, but never the voice (not tarja's anyway... maybe a different opera singer..) and now she has just blown me away - i always think "no way, anette couldnt sing that" and then she proves me completely wrong! saying that... ghst love score... i think it's tarja's best song :S i cant imagine anette's voice... *keeps wishing*

  • OMMFG! This is incredible! Rock on Anette! Way better than Tarja. I want to hear her do Crownless.

  • the perfects songs for Anette now are Sacrament of Wilderness, Dead to the World and Creek Mary's Blood

    lastima que John Two-Hawks no pueda estar siempre con ellos

    anette is the best in the old balads, escept in "Sleeping Sun" (the opera parts)

  • This song fits Anette's voice much better than Tarja's. It's starting to sound a bit more power metal-ish too.

    And for all of those complaining about Tarja, etc. -- she does covers of some of the old Nightwish songs in her current solor career, which I think is nice to hear, especially songs like Passion and the Opera which I haven't heard in years

  • wow, now i can hear anette "with different ears"... she sang pretty well this time!!!

  • Oh-My-God...

    ...

    I have never said this before, but Creek Mary's Blood is way better with Anette.

    Really...Wow

  • ooooooh <333333333 shes LOVELY with this song! dont liek the song soo much but this"<3

  • I would love to hear Anette singing Ghost Love Score

  • i think it's much difficult to anette to sing Ghost Love Score :S

  • It is reported they played "The Siren" on 1 show in the States, unfortunately there's no video on youtube of that song :(

  • Oh... God. This is one of those songs that would make you cry quite easily. Anette hit it and there's no point. I wish they played it in Europe :P

  • OMG! I was right in front of the camera, holding the lighter! Sorry for spoiling your shot man, but that's freaking hilarious!

  • Great job of Anette ^__^

    I wish they played this song in Europe tour, too.

  • This one is perfect with Anette!

  • DEAM !!!!

    THIS WAS THE BEST!!!

    i promes i will go on a konsert wiht them!  ♥♥♥♥Nightwish♥♥♥♥

  • wow!

    anette just OWNED this song! xD

    like her version a lot more than tarja's.

    she sings the chorus so beautifully

  • I was at that concert. I was about 2 heads from the front and got to shake hands with Marco and Anette at the end. It was an incredible performance and I'm glad people are finally warming up to Anette and her incredible skill

  • DON'T COME ONTO THE VIDEOS THEN FUCKTARD ass hole

  • People don't like Anette simply because she is not Tarja - it doesn't even have anything to do with her vocals...

    I am fucking shocked with this version! 0.0 Anette is perfect here, as perfect as Tarja, but with a different interpretation...

  • Incredible!

    Anette pwns that song!

  • I hadn't watched this one before and I didn't even know they had ever performed this live with Anette! It's such a delight hearing her sing this one. She really gives a new strength, a new dimension to the old songs. I SIMPLY LOVED THIS ONE. It's my new favourite of her renditions.

  • your english is fine. :) I can understand what you're trying to say.

    it took a while for me, but Anette really grew on me. I really dont think she's pop though. her voice is PERFECT for rock, especially 80s. its really obvious when you listen to alysonavenue.

    I'm actually glad they didn't get a singer of Tarjas style, just because then i think it almost would have been insulting to listen to someone try to imitate her.

  • yeah i think if they got anotehr opera singer people would still be critisizing them b/c they tried bring back the tarja sound.

    when your a band, and someone like the singer leaves, there is really no way you can please all your fans, but you have to do what is right, i feel nightwish did the right move, a risky move, but the right move.

  • exactly. either way people were going to be unhappy. in fact, a lot of people who are complaining now about Anette would also be complaining if it were another opera singer, because the point isn't just how Anette sings, its the fact that she's not Tarja.

    I guess the bottom line is I repect the guys musical judgment.

  • yeah man exactly, i think the people who complain about all this, were only fans of tarja, and nightwish just happened to be her band at the time, so they said they were fans of nightwish, but thats only my interperitation of it all

  • thats pretty much my interpretation as well. I think its great to have liked Tarja, I did too, but I'm a Nightwish fan, so I'm staying loyal to he band and I trust them in choosing Anette. Plus, I just dont see any sense in hating one of them because you love the other. I still appreciate Tarja's voice in the old songs, though i like them with Anette's voice too. In the end, its all about the music, and the voice makes a big difference sometimes, but its still amazing because its Nightwish.

  • I think a band is about WAY more than just the singer. Thats why I still love Nightwish, no matter what, but as much as I love her voice, I can't stand Tarja's new music. Well, there's one song I can stand, but it still doesn't come anywhere CLOSE to Nightwish material.

  • yeah i believe tuomas set out to create a 'film score metal' band. not a 'gothic metal' band. So what he and the band decides is right, that is their decision and if people hate it, then they loose fans, but i know many people who like the new nightwish and don't like the older stuff that much b/c of the opera, and i think nightwish will gain all of those people as part of their new fan base, to replace the ones they may have lost

  • yeah. It used to piss me off when people said that Nightwish would be nothing without Tarja. Obviously that isn't the case. They've done amazingly well, and those people didn't know much about metal in the first place if they thought the singer made the band. she was obviously very important to it, but still...they can go on without her.

  • yep

  • she's actually not terrible at all. if you dont like her voice, thats personal preferance, but she is a talented singer with a great range.

    calling one better than the other is also OPINION. you really cant compare them fairly because they sing such different styles.

  • She sounds great!

  • she knows how to sing ^^

    just ppl who don't like her and think that tarja is better than everything don't think the same thing... well, anette is the new NW singer and I like her :D

  • nicely put man

  • Love Anette <3

  • Awesome!! This one is better than tarja's way!! I really love it!! Anette's my siren to travel thru the sea of pain!! Anette I wander in your sea-mind-dark!

  • Oh, she's so great!

  • Lucky f**king bastards! Getting to see Annette live- *grunts*. Me= jealous. XD I'm just kidding around. But Im still very jealous.

  • Burning in musical hell for her new album.

  • Fuck OFF. Anette is AMAZING. And learn how to write your sentences better, then after that failed job, listen to some REAL Classical/Operatic singers. And Tarja SUCKS with the ballads. HA.

  • very good

  • Sorry, this message is for TheavelFairy ^^^^^^^^

  • Learn English.

  • <3 Anette

  • wow she sounds so good!

  • amazing.....i really like the way that it is similar to the 'old'version but anette makes it with a new twist...

  • annette sings this song beautifully!

  • I love this version more than any other song <3 its so beautiful, im crying here. oh my god, she is so.. i can't put it to words, she just is. <3<3<3<3<3

  • SO true. If Anette keeps this upm if she just keeps training with her current vocal coach.......she's gonna put DEATH to the Tarja/Anette feud. I think she should try and widen her range so she can ACTUALLY sing the old stuff with zero strain. haha. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Anette/Nightwish.

  • I LOVE ANETTE, she's amazing!

    And I love love love her version of this song..

  • !!! Wunderbar just Wunderbar !!!

  • well, it's nice:p

    John Two Hawks rulezzz:p XD

  • Anette :*

  • I LOVEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDD IT!!!!!!!!!!!

    I MEAN ANETTE, YOU MAKE THE SONG EVEN MORE SENSITIVE AND BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!...YOU ARE WONDERFUL GIRL!!!!!

    AND... I'M MEXICAN xD

  • Anette is doing a fantastic work with the old songs! :)

    I'm lovin!!!

  • One last thing, why was everyone holding up lighters? That was just idiotic and dangerous. I was next to the guy who started it.

  • (in reference to last comment) His dad made us leave too early (like as soon as the concert ended, though not when they pretended it ended... lol if he had made us leave then I would've been so mad) so we didn't even get to buy a shirt! :( Awsome concert though. Lol at first I was like.. who the heck is this native american dude? Then I was like.. oh yea. Oh and "I was the with all the Mexicans that kept on yelling shit soccer game style." ROFL! I saw them :P.

  • Yeye! I was there! I wasn't near any of ya'll though :( I was on the right side near Emppu. Emppu is uber 1337. You might've seen me though, I definately stood out. I was that short little kid with the bright red shirt and white jacket standing next to another kid (but much taller) wearing another white jacket.

  • =( i don't wanna be patetic but but im crying.. she's so lovely!

    Im sorry... i think she's better than tarja omg... she didn't ruined the song!

    SHE FIXED THE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    GOD BLESS ALOT ANETTE!

  • i was there right in front on the stage i was going crazy

  • You are patetic and *****

  • you are pathethic and deaf

  • I loved her version of the song! It's perfect! *-*

  • omg!! *-*

    anette, just lovely *-*~

  • This really was an incredible show, even with starting 45 min late cause of sound problems with the drums.  I was standing right next to the guy waving the Finnish flag...too bad it was also right next to 3 guys who were TOTALLY wasted and drunk and kept heckling Anette and falling all over everyone around me.

  • For some reason, the headliner's soundcheck ALWAYS has difficulties. I ALWAYS get stuck next to drunk people at shows. And I was RIGHT NEXT to the same loser that was next to me at Symphony X. Her voice impressed me though, I think she did reasonably better than some of the first videos of her performing overseas.

  • wow this song is awesome!!! I do wish the auidence would stop talking at some points though! Anette does rock and she is putting her own spin on it ... let her do it..

  • Wow, that's pretty awesome. I wish I couda heard that when they came in Montreal last month.

  • How meany people was in this crowd?

  • I was there, and I'd guess somewhere in the 1,000 - 1,500 range

  • I was THERE, about 3 feet away from the stage to the left of Anette. That concert rocked the city!

  • Is John Two Hawks a friend of Thuomas?

  • Yeah, he is. He even gave him a Lakota name in a Native ceremony. :)

  • What is that?

  • The Lakota name John Two-Hawks gave Tuomas is Sunkmanitutanka Nagi, which roughly translates to "Wolf of The Shadow". Glad to see so many people have enjoyd the video!

  • Yea

  • Annet sing this song even better than Tarya !!

  • THIS was a fuckin AWESOME show!!! I was close to the front, to the right of Annette.

    ~M

  • omg nightwish was so awesome...i admit wondered about annette but after hearing her voice at this show, she really impressed me..she's very energetic..the only thing i didn't understand was her wearing a tiara...

  • I figured the tiara was a gift from someone in the audience, and some lyrics in The Islander talk about a princess. So... :)

  • I can actually hear this better than I did at the concert. I was in the front row, so all I heard was drums and bass, basically. but it was so amazing. I got to shake all of their hands and hug Anette at the end.

    :)

  • Thank you so much for posting this!! I've been searching high and low for a vid of Anette singing this song, but had been unable to find one... Finding yours totally made my day!

    Anette, you're amazing!!! Rock on!!

  • HOLY CRAP this show was amazing.

    hey Ithinksono I was in the very front on the left too!!!! RIGHT in front of Marco. I was the with all the Mexicans that kept on yelling shit soccer game style.

  • Cool, I'm sure I saw you then. I had a soilwork shirt on. It definitely was an amazing show.

  • Phuckin Awesome Anette! O hell yeah! This song is right in her wheel house.

  • Sweet, I was in the very front on the left side. It was funning yelling at Toumas and Marco hehe. Awesome show!

  • lucky Texans got the bonus man! Saw them in Minneapolis, definably rocked though.
