Anette Olzon LIVE - Meadows Of Heaven

[subwaytosally18642]

This performance is the proof why Anette is favourite female singer! She's more than just amazing!!

[sp8evi5ze]

She is beautiful! And song too!

[ArtemiHophekenen]

Is it Jukka up a head?))

[mikewill9511]

@jean15june Tarja sucke when she was all over the place also, so I dont c the diff.

[Trollina666]

Is she being hurried? :O :D

[heroesdrhouseaddict1]

For those who are less favorable of anette you should listen to the demo ever dream she sent to nightwish (the reason she was hired). Furthermore I have to add that her vocals are really nice if you listen some other songs of hers(invincible for example). I don't know why but nightwish never promote, the chords/notes/octave that truly fits her

[SymphonyOfSword2Swan]

She is so beautiful, and have nice curves. Haha.. Tuomas chose the right singer.

[linedepicard]

wow great voice in there , although I dont like her voice in the old nw songs I think she is great in singing the songs toumas wrote for her voice

[Evaxlacrymosa]

Holy Shit. 0.0 That was phenomenal....

[fgavrilovic]

She sings excellent. Haters gonna hate.

[mikewill9511]

@ozirion73 I would like to see you try singing this.

[mikewill9511]

Why can't we have both? I mean, Tarja and Anette? That would be dynamite.

[mikewill9511]

If only they could play live with full orchestra and choir. WOAH! That would be EPIC!

[rehw11]

I hate the terrible Anette vs. Tarja thing, but in contrast to Tarja, Anette is able to really sing well live.

Wonderful performance!

[BlackFairy313]

omg i really loved her since she came to nightwish..i've seen her live and she really tries to do her best...i knew that she is a wonderful singer who really sings with her heart..but NOW..after this performance i adore her..this is absolutly epic!!

[GhostwingX]

Omg the end is just FUCKIN EPIC

[nosracymmit]

Christina who?

[greymage1]

woman.i love your smile and i very like your voice....don`t give up the fight against tarja listeners.........head up and greetings from germany

[kutulu3]

Nightwish made an exellent choice when they brought Anette on. Dark Passion Play has become my favorite Nightwish Cd because of her.

[wyldkardacccsu]

great performance!

[engrfka]

Why is she running away with the song??? nice voice though

[engrfka]

What a great atmosphere....Meadows of Heaven....and it's raining there...lovely <3

[wiesica101]

end <3 Love Anette

[IVIWAY99]

QUE HERMOSA, WAAAAAAAAA SU VOZ PRECIOSA, HA MEJORADO TANTO *0* LA AMOOOOOOOOOOOO XOXO

[20698shay]

wow , she is beautiful , sweet performance

[dplissgodofownage]

3:36 Listen REALLY closely someone says 'Wheres Emppu at?' During the solo

[MrVhek]

Amazing!

[Hypurr1]

@glittersmile Don't you just hate that. I don't care if she's 300 lbs., if she can sing like that she is beautiful.

[derkommissar1917]

@Hypurr1 Any woman who can sing like that is beautiful in my book.

I see we have 29 people who are either tone-deaf or who have absolutely no taste in music who dropped in. LOL

[Hypurr1]

Fucking beautiful song and performance.

[RocknSchrock]

Amazing

[DLidersBand]

she is so beautiful!!

[mbones94]

So everyone bitching about the conductor, if she wants to slow down she can, the band will follow her. They are professionals. The band started at normal tempo, but she started singing faster.

[JustHowToSayIt]

Annette thinks the end is gospel. Leave her alone xD

[JustHowToSayIt]

I do think this song is sped up. What's with the conductor? He has made it twice faster!

[IVIWAY99]

QUE HERMOSA VOZ *0* XOXO

[lulalely]

This song is suits so perfect to Anette's voice.

[OsrELe]

you cant tell me that what she did at the end was purpose, she mistake,, but the rest of the song she proved that is a very good singer

[analikewhoa1]

Wait a minute...she said ''kiitos. kiitoksia'' at the end and this is in Sweden...right? Oh Nettie, being around Finns so much messes with your head, eh? :'p

Amazing performance!!!.

[Soyalecitin]

@analikewhoa1 This concert which Anette's performance was a part of, was called "Suomi Safari", with many more or less famous Finnish artists. So there were definitely many Finns listening to this, that's why she said Kiitos. :))

[analikewhoa1]

@Soyalecitin Ooh ok! makes sense then. Thank you for the extra info! :D

[nightfox93wlf]

ok,this song is simply BEAUTIFUL,AMAZING she has a beautiful voice and so on.BUT THIS IS NOT NIGHTWISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Caos0828]

Did she say at 1:35 children heart? lol

[NwDevotion]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a!! increibleeeeee!!

Ame Esta presentacion, es Genial *______*

I Love Anette♥

[cemepee]

she singing the song way to fast.....

[Caos0828]

@cemepee All the song is fastter 

[Shmeekee]

OH MY GOD! She is incredible O_O I can't believe that anybody could have such and angel voice...

[GhostwingX]

Tarja is unbelieveable good at singing, but Anette is amazing, too.

[Sitexful]

AND WHO SAY SHE IS BAD SINGER?! ALL PART OF THIS SONG IS CONFIRMATION - ANETTE CAN SING!

[pilazorba555]

uwielbiam ją

[mofrakker]

Is it my imagination or is the conductor going at a slightly faster tempo? Poor Nettie sounds like she's being hurried (but still sings great).

[Soyalecitin]

@mofrakker To me it sounds like the orchestra begins at the normal tempo, then Anette goes a little bit too fast at 0:43 and the orchestra naturally follows her. But it's not a big deal and the performance is just awesome! :)

[giantsfan245]

@Soyalecitin I agree

[GreenDay1981]

@Soyalecitin If that's the case, that's the orchestra's fault. Being in a band myself, I've always been told that the singer follows the band, not vice versa.

[Soyalecitin]

@GreenDay1981 I guess your band wasn't a symphony orchestra. :) Without a conductor this "band" could never change the tempo, but when there's one directing, they do whatever his baton says. If he follows the singer, "the band" does the same.

[skyjadeshe]

@mofrakker the orchestra started normal, anette started singing at like double time and they struggled to catch up with her... maybe she was nervous?

[Atkamon]

@skyjadeshe The orchestra was faster at the beginning too... It wasn't Anette, who made it faster.

[OrpheusDream]

Anette is the bomb!!! 

[MegaWishmasterMario]

My heaven is Nightwish with Tarja and Anette.

[r4xNW91]

"dreambound for life..." :'D such amazing singer!!

[adyj73]

MILF

[wvhdogg]

4:30 orgasm

[carolynsdreamer]

@wvhdogg wow lol xD

[IVIWAY99]

PERO QUE HERMOSA VOZ DE MI NETTIE *0* MARAVILLOSAAAAAAAAA *-* XOXO

[Swampdragon102]

how the hell can people SPEAK while hearing this? This is more paralyzing than dragonforce, and that live! my respect

[Swampdragon102]

... wow... beautiful ...

live she sounds as good as on the album, if not better! love this song

[DeadToTheWorld92]

A very beautiful performance. That's all I need to say.

Nightwish is the best!!

[valen0815]

she`s fantastic

[withlovebritney]

she has an incredible voice, love her (L)

[IlEtaitUneForet]

why she takes it that fast ?

[lovetarja4everdream]

I knew that she can sing this well, but you will have to agree that she doesn't sing so well on nightwish concerts

[heisenmanFC]

@lovetarja4everdream Yeah, this performance is great, I wish she was this good in the regular concerts too :(

[Hypurr1]

@lovetarja4everdream Have you ever seen the Lowlands concert? She sings incredible in that.  Singers that don't use auto-tune or lip sync will have bad days.

[PhoenixFanatic]

I wish they wouldn't have sped up the song so much. For me, personally, it ruined the emotion of it.

[EverDescendingBlade]

wow, that was such a good performance, even when she did Marco's part.

[HeartsEyes]

@EverDescendingBlade Marco doesn't have a part in Meadows.. you probably mean the 2 gospel singers (male and female) in the end? She takes over that part herself live.

[cocumolese]

woow ho i brividiii

[Tarlev]

Atleast the music was good

[nithinginmind]

She sung her's and Marco's part Oo

[RealLoveIsMusic]

Anette is so wounderfoul

[Klauspicy]

@v0Heartagram0v How old fashioned. What kind of logic is that? I mean, Annette doesn't sing like Tarja, and she clearly does not intend to do so. Are you saying those words after hearing the music itself completely? Nightwish got a new style. If you claim yourself to be a fan, than live with it or don't say such things in first place. Opera Nightwish? Come on, everybody knows that Nightwish sounds operatic, but does it always have to be operatic?

[v0Heartagram0v]

@Klauspicy you are correct and i totally respect your idea. of course it doesnt have to be opera. and yes i notice that she does not intend on singing exactly like tarja. well, sorry if i offended you. i simply wanted to state my opinion on the new style. i had no idea it would cause so much offense. yes i am a nightwish fan, and yes i am trying to adapt to the new style. now that i look back at my comment, it really does look bad. i will delete it now. but know this- i DONT hate annette.

[Klauspicy]

@Klauspicy No, apology is mine. I also raged there bit. (Not bit you dummy =/)

Well to be honest, I also like Tarja's style 'more', but I think that Annette's voice and style is also excellent on its own. I'm in totally love with eva and amaranth in DPP. =)

But I should say that my favorite Nightwish songs are 'Walking in the Air' and 'Bless the child', and they will never be replaced :)

[IVIWAY99]

@Klauspicy yes, the people need something new

[TheSleepwalkerIcy]

I was there and it was totally awesome <3

[JasonECI]

So good!!!!

[gorebolte]

Nobody can deny that Anette is one hell of a good singer after watching this video, absolutely brilliant performance.

[Plevell]

@gorebolte absolutely shitty and even faster than normal..

[jean15june]

@gorebolte that's ONLY because this song is slow & she's standing still. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY SHE CAN SING.

[RawrItsJuul]

@jean15june She can sing fast songs to and tarja also never moved around so I dont see the problem

[plutoniangirl]

@gorebolte ohh please.. come on.. ewww puke.. 

[96luddelus]

Anette is my favourite singer! I This song is one of my favourite nightwish songs!

[zeppelin88ab]

song of life!

[majomanak]

OMG - intro was so slow,but after she starued singing so fast.

[Wolfesscythe117]

I hate it when people speed up songs when performed live. It takes away from the epicness.

[ashleywasp]

good job anette!you are the best!

[mim1800]

how people can being under the rain to watch this???

[Soyalecitin]

@mim1800 Scandinavians aren't made of sugar. :) Rain or snow, who cares!

[mateicomanescu]

you say it like this is the boggest shit in the history of music. wtf.

[sajushka16]

xDDDD tk xDDD zpívá to dcl dobře xDDD až na ten konec xDD ty jo o co se tam snazi omg xDD to totalne zkurvila xDDDD

[Evanlegravely]

That was great! :)

[perkele181]

this song shows the good quality off anettes voice and i dont hat here at all . and too old nightwish fans if you dont like the new sound off nightwish find another band and listen too them instead off new nightwish . there is never gonna be a tarja comback in nightwish i dont think tuomas wants too doo the same mistake twice having tarja back in nightwish and kick here out again !

[StewieSwan]

Too bad she tried to do the flashy stuff too early.

[OWLxNIGHTWISHFAN]

Awesome performance :D

[rockonmario]

all anette haters can suck my cock!ha!here's the proof that anette is a goddess!

[Mikilary]

Just amazing...;)

[elgransorbete]

This is a great performance by Anette: powerful, heartfelt and in perfect tune. This should dissipate any doubt about her quality as a singer and could be used as proof that the people who feel animosity towards her do so for reasons other than her actual talent or lack thereof.

[thankGodforDavidG]

Anette did a good job and she looks nice.

[KCastens]

It's a year ago since I saw this video the last time and I remembered having the chills and goose bumps in the end of it. As it turns out: it's still the case! This is the best recording of meadows of heaven (well, obviously not sound-wise) which has ever been made.

Anette is outdoing herself and singing even better than she did at the homecomming concert at the Hartwall Arene of Helsinki.

Well done and can't wait to hear the new album!

[ozirion73]

Average voice quality

[sergioschindler]

I've met her, she's not fat, she has cheeks and thats gets the fat ideia, but she's really thin and with curves, as a good looking woman should be!!

[xXLoveThisMoonlightX]

Anette, your awesome, no one could sing this song better, it sounds realy deep and beautiful! :) I think this song is the best song to end dark passion play albume, the albume is like a storm on the sea and this is after the sun rises once again!!!! No one could ever sing this song better :)

[TheDarkrai915]

if anette is so damn pop lets see britney spears and pink sing this great amazing song live :D! a natural non edited voice doesnt make a band sound pop thats usually left up to the sound :o!

[TheDarkrai915]

wasnt this around the time she got pregnat???

[aznakh]

I was looking for a long time for an orchestral rendition of a nightwish song.

1. Tuomas is a mindblowing composer.

2. Anette is great. And concerning her voice, she renders full justice to the music.

[DaniiToTheL]

I'm guessing the reason she's singing so fast is because the song is originally 7(?) minutes.

[safte4]

WOW... That's good.. I wish she was norwegian instead, so that WE could be proud of her xD

[MsNightfish]

@safte4 Enig!!! (in english: agreed!!!:D

[volaverutarja]

tarja is a queen a perfect lady , but anette is a bitch an visual attractive for nightwish. and her voice is very very pop for the band.

[domiukas1]

@volaverutarja you are son of a bitch :P Anette is a queen in her style, she's a power in Nightwish!

[MrJonnyboy08]

@volaverutarja dude STFU about tarja and anette they both good in their own ways and she dont sound pop at all if I wanted to listen to pop I'll go listen to Jb or lady gaga crap can believe I said that goes and grabs gun fires bullet into head no more pop music for me

[MsNightfish]

@volaverutarja fuck off

[TheDarkrai915]

@volaverutarja your a dumb ass and have no clue about anything in music

[adr14ntr]

@Roxannda Ino, you're wrong, my mom is very intelligent

[edux328]

parece un matambre enrollado con piolin

[ashestoyoursoul]

she sounds really great here. I don't understand why people say she can't sing! they must be tone deaf

[Evnightlerd]

PLZ! it sucks, she did it better in other sceneries, but here SUCKS MY DOG'S BALLS.

[freddi095]

too fast!! but nice sing

[NightwishFanGreece]

@stefannpaull Why dont u go somewhere else to put your nasty comments, huh?

[pestilentrabbit]

It is good but not great.

[Roxannda]

GO, Britney, GO...... =)

[Marichaun]

@Roxannda

How can you even compare Annette to Britney! That's  such a retard comment.

[Roxannda]

@Marichaun

You're right, Britney sings better if nothing else at least she know how to dance.

[Evnightlerd]

@Marichaun retard comment?? I'm so agree lol. listen to heeer!!! lol, trying to fit her voice in some popy song, that she just let pass.. lol.

[MasterChico13]

@Roxannda it seems that you don't have any taste of music in your ears. GO ANETTE GO!

[Roxannda]

@MasterChico13

no, i dont especially for the pop music

[MasterChico13]

@Roxannda but she is not pop.

[MasterChico13]

@Roxannda it seems that you are a tarja fangirl and not a real nightwish fan. i have to say that if you don't like anette's era don't watch the videos with her, don't watch nightwish and don't comment about anette. just listen tou your dear tarja solo stuff.

[Roxannda]

@MasterChico13

I wanted to hear does she really sounds bad like people talking...

This video is public, so everybody can watch, and everyone can leave their comments and opinions. I said something that is obvious, sorry if I violated feelings...

[Marichaun]

@Roxannda

It's obvious you are making yourself an ass.

[Evnightlerd]

@Roxannda lol. go britney, go. lol.. that's it! she's it! or her?? I don't know. lol. go tiny copycat of britney popshit spears! x)

[Kerschenpower]

sounds a bit like : the swan song by Within Temptation

[TheFredo92]

Thanks Tuomas!

[Petehand1981]

its very fast.... beautiful, but a lil fast

[SteveHarris89]

#awesome

[catweazeltje]

Beauuuutifuuul <33 Good job Anette! keep on going :D

[Amaranth2020]

sigue codificado muy rapido el audio y video. aún así es una buena cancion interpretada por una cantante genial.

[zeldagirl1234]

Annette looks totally different now! I could barely recognize her in the beginning of the song! O_O

[GeneralArrow]

I don't know what is with you people saying she went to fast. Its the symphony that is playing the tune to fast.

[kanaldeckeldieb22]

@GeneralArrow

no - she is pushing the tempo at the beginning, the orchestra just adapts to her after the first beats she begann to sing

btw: I'm not the biggest fan of her voice, especially when she screams to get the higher notes

but this i must say is sung beautiful even though too fast in the beginning :)

[TarjaKingdom2012]

She is very different from when she was smaller with black hair,, anyway,, she's better than 2007 :)

thanks for posting

*sorry for my bad english, i speak french*

[92centurychild]

Great Anette! :D As always!!! :D

[LoveofAphrodite]

she went a bit fast...but sang well

[tendedlove]

who is anette's boyfriend?johan hugsfeld or michael bohlin?

[valiserbanescu]

It sounds good but it feels like she sings faster and the orchestra is trying to keep up with her.

[SaharaNw]

@valiserbanescu i felt the same, she goes too fast at first , but she sings so beautyfull this song «3

[Jappe4242]

Great ... and Kuolema tekee taiteilijan was really great cause it's was Finnish ... and Finnish is very hard lanquage.

[oscargothic11281]

MUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY..VACANO..­.pues creo que una vez más nightwish vencio la critica y le dio una nueva luz al grupo...finalmente anette...saco una muy buena voz, muy versatil, y lo mejor que no separece en nada a tarja...mejor dicho la epoca tarja para nightwish fue superada...me parce bn que evolucionen y que no sean repetitivos...apoyo la causa.

[DarkZeratul28]

totalmente de acuerdo!!

[ruby089]

A woman with curves is much better than someone without. I like her curves.

Awesome Permance !

[Proxyman2]

she sings this way too fast

[edgeofseventeen17]

yes, too fast

[y8c616]

An astounding performance of an epic song!

[darkdead16]

why i wasn't there ;<<

[LauraLovesAnette]

Shes my favourite singer <3

Anette made a mistake '..a 5-year old childrens heart in a way of home..''

but thats not wicked. Everyone makes a mistake. Maybe she was a bit nervous playing without the boys and with an orchestra and cause of that she was a bit too fast and made a mistake. So, she was not bad. Wonderful voice,pretty woman..etc.

Hugs to Anette <3

[Viktor0song]

You wright! she is Wonderful woman!

[Anysek26]

the song is fast than original :(

[MasterChico13]

it's incredible, she has got a wonderful voice and in my opinion Tuomas choose a great singer to replace a living legend called Tarja.

(Anette is also a living legend)

[jacko28182]

She doesn't look fat, she's just got nice curves :)

[UnderclassHero473]

@jacko28182 TBH, shes 38 and had 2 kids. she looks great
