Nightwish - Sahara - Live Tel Aviv, Israel 06.10.2007

[Sitexful]

Where is the awesome "Okay! Hep! Hep! Hep!"? XD

[cuttlefisch]

Annette is a very good singer and frontwoman, but she will never compare to Tarja in any way. No-one will. Ana TuomASS knows it.

[mim1800]

i don't like it i prefer tarja solo

[harrawrson]

"but I really, reeeeally wanna go... to the desserrrt!" XD

[Rachella44]

בא לי שוב

[sayvictor93]

anette is very good, but tarja is the best!!!!!!

[MrArmoris]

Tarja best? o_O maybe for you...woman with 3 octaves cann't be best =)

[a7x6freak66]

Whoa o_O

Wasnt this like one of their first concerts?

[camaod]

Its their second

[nniilssonn]

yeah, tarja sucks!

anette is so fucking good in this song, i love her!<3

[xXHolypriestXx]

shut up tarja sucks

[chopantura]

I don't like her steel in dressing

She looks like a street-walker :P

[TuomasLover90]

The Africa comment?

[twistofme]

Well it was always a competition between NightWish and WithinTemptation.. now? i love anette but she isnt Sharons competition, it was Tarja. Anette has a similar voive to Sharon Adel, but Sharon hits way higher nots and holds them alot better. I wish Sharon and Wt would play a Nightwish song and the other way around, just to see whos best :P

[soraelegido]

Nightwish is waaaaay waaaaay better than WT

[WhiteNightFantasy178]

@soraelegido but not with anette.

[nightwish231]

@WhiteNightFantasy178 With or Without Anette , they will be always the best band in the Universe...in my opinion

[azabache1525]

@nightwish231 with she sounds better i think she sounds more metal than tarja her voice is great yes tarja is unique but anette is so good too her voice is most soft but is good

[Tuleinaarii]

I just want to know why you'd film the tv monitor instead of just zooming in on the stage.

[KevinCarey]

just noticed she has a tattoo

[YulieAna]

I think the only "poppy" song on DPP is Amaranth. But is it really that different from Riddler, Sleepwalker or Nemo? It's pretty funny how the Tarja fanboy cult accuses Anette of being "pop" when Nightwish went to Eurovision with Tarja and performed Sleepwalker there.

[onthepine]

Perfection is only in the eyes of thier followers.

Cant say Sahara is Popish, just cant. If u are its just and excuse to bash more on Annette. I cant see ANY symphonic vocalist sing this song - sorry Tarja fans. This tune fits Annette perfectly as does Eva.

[viggoofcarpathia]

You're the one resorting to saying Anette looks like a hooker and should grow up, when she's just doing a job that she loves. You seem to be more of a 'fan-boy' than anyone here. Nightwish were 'storming' the charts way before Anette ever joined, so spare me this pop crap. Anette has a powerful rock voice, and can harmonize with about any style of music. That's why the picked her. Enjoy your highly acclaimed FORMER singer of Nightwish. Pop with rock under-tones. Joke's on you!

[ToxicxEternity]

god everytime she moves around when she sings i had a mini seizure due to sexiness overload

[Cinatas666]

I love Anette's voice, i don't know the word to describe it, I'm going to say it's sharper than Tarjas, and goes better with Marcos.

[belle92220]

I hate annette I prefere TARJA ^^

[xxxxBurningAngelxxxx]

Tarja can sing better,

BUT i like anette's voice the most,

plus anette is 10 million times more fun and beautiful than tarja (im sorry tarja fans, but that's the true ^^)

[operawithapickle]

Yeah Anette is like so totally awesome isnt she..Do you dance along when she sings too? and i totally love her voice..Esp when she screams...Almost Every Single song and she is like 36 but dresses 14..Isnt she great?

Its not the truth my dear,Tarja's voice is so much more versatile than anettes..Anettes voice can only handle

1.screaming

2.head voice

3.and pretending she has a powerful voice.

Im sorry anette fan...But that IS the truth.

[xxxxBurningAngelxxxx]

Operawithableble:

Do you think that if anette could onlu scream, do headvoice, and pretend having a powerful voice, the bandmates would even think about choosing her?.

Come on!, they know lots about music, that's why they're where they're now!.

And what's the problem with the way anette dresses?

I think she dresses better than tarja with that horrible yellow skirt.

And yeah she's 36 but she looks younger and gorgeous.

So, envy?.

[operawithapickle]

They choose her because she can appeal to the masses! and you cant say thats not true.Havnt they had more sucess with her? Havnt they found new fans(mostly 13year olds and people who like pop music) with there Pop songs storming the charts? she dresses like she is a hooker..And um Me envious of anette haha yeah i really wish i looked like her..haha,anette fans really will say anything.

[viggoofcarpathia]

And what do you think Tarja is doing now?* Riding off of the coatails of Tuomas' innovation. Her solo album is pop with mild guitar sounds buried in the standard pop music format.(She also did some reality music tv show, did she not?) And she's getting more promotion than DPP ever did because she WAS the singer of Nightwish. Her image is that of a washed-up contemporary pop singer. However,Anette has a rock voice and it suits Nightwish. And she acts more professional. B'ah. C'mon folks admit it!

[operawithapickle]

Pop? Pop? o please, tarja's new album is anything but commercial! i dont hear tarja's album full of catchy pop songs!tarja has stuck to her musical roots,she hasnt made a commercial album so that she wll get more money.Her image is that of everything nightwish used to be mature,beautiful and powerful.Anette is more professional..yes maybe in the art of dancing! that i agree with!

[viggoofcarpathia]

Tarja's album is contemporary rock-pop with her vocals. As there aren't many pop albums with such high soprano vocals, that may be the only way the album stands out. No, her image is no longer what she appeared to be when she was in Nightwish. She dresses like a diva. Anette may dance, but she doesn't constantly hold her dress up and sway around on stage like a pompous show-tune singer. Tarja's album contains no out-standing musical ability, whether she sings the "high notes" or not. Hogwash.

[operawithapickle]

Tarja voice is flawless even i douted this until i seen her live,even better than the alubm or any high quality live recording,anette dresses like a hooker and talks to the audience like an exercise teacher,for a woman of her age she needs to grow up.Tarja's album is far from pop,it sounds more like a film soundtrack if anything else,have you even botherd to listen to the album? or are you just like the rest of the blind anette zombies?

[viggoofcarpathia]

I'm blind? You're the one so far up Tarja Tarunen's backside you can't see (or hear) how mediocre Tarja is. I have seen Tarja live and if she isn't flat singing easy verses in Nemo, she's straining her vocal cords trying to sing material out of her league. Tarja is like watching Medusa perform. She's cold, self-righteous and out of tune with the energy Nightwish have on stage. And I'd say DDP sounds like a movie score while Tarja's album sounds like backing music to some lame drama. What a Diva

[viggoofcarpathia]

And hooker? Anette is tiny and cute and wouldn't look right in some stupid gown. In fact, the only one that does is Sharon Den Adel. Anette galloping and parading around on stage holding the trail of her dress, swaying back in forth? You'd have to be a pretentiously over-rated femme fatal... Nightwish have unity now and that's what matters. And Anette's energetic and adorably sexy image is only complimentary to her powerful vocal techniques. Tarja looked cold and sounded cold. And Tarja's gone.

[operawithapickle]

You definitly are an anette fan thats for sure,that disgusting thing you said about me and tarja proves that,you people always have to resort to the most stupidst comments.You keep loving your sexy pop singer and ill keep loving my cold hearted diva.

[iako777]

hey operawithapickle look what that people said.. "Annetes powerful voice" it's just funny doesnot it?.. hahahaaaa very very funny

[operawithapickle]

uh did you see when she moved her head in that pop diva style haha! Anyone can scream or yodel and if you listen to my sahara..its more than easy to sing like her! I think my little toe has more power in it than anette's voice haha

[iako777]

yes it's true i listened to your songs and it was awesome... it's really better then this uhhhh

[iako777]

sorry but i cannot stop loughing when you say "Annetes powerful voice" :D:D:D:D:D hahahahaaa

[iako777]

i totally agree with operawithapickle. Tarja is the voice of nightwish she is nightwish soul, as one my friend said "everyone can sing like Annete but noone can do it like Tarja"

[Soyalecitin]

Okay iako. Then go and sing like her, with ear monitors and metal band playing behind your back. I just need to laugh. Her job is NOT like singing in a shower or to a web camera. - I would say, many people can sing just as good as Tarja, and even better, and same with Anette. Nightwish has never had a vocalist that is such a great singer that noone could do their job as well or better. It's their MUSIC and the whole group that's special. Not a single instrument.

[iako777]

look i dont want to fight about who is better or worse. evryone has its opinions and taste.i love Tarja and cannot imagine that somebody can sing better then her. because she has special opera voice wich is very different to sing. and what about me i'm not keen to singing my job is drawing. i just know some people who can sing even "Sahara" beter then Annete.

[Soyalecitin]

Yeah, I hope we hear about those people later. I know many people who sing Sahara better than Anette when taking shower, but maybe not on stage... ;)

[iako777]

come on Soyalecitin do you think i'm such stupid to think like that? :)) if someone can sing in the shower better then Annete , that person can sing on the stage as well, but i did not mean people in shower i meant something more serious then that one :)))

[Soyalecitin]

Haha, NO, my friend, I'm not thinking you're stupid, I don't think anyone is stupid... Well, I might be quite stupid sometimes. I know there are more talented singers than Anette, and more talented singers than Tarja. I don't like Tarja's voice that much, she's okay but to me her voice sounds cold. I simply love Anette's work on some old nw-songs like Higher Than Hope and Ever Dream, she does justice to those beautiful songs and gives them that little something I never heard with Tarja.

[Soyalecitin]

I was trying to say, that not anyone who can sing "almost like Anette" are able to do that job on stage, if you've ever sung a solo even on a little stage, you know it's different from singing in your own room... NW sounds quite massive also on stage, and just to get use to their sound and ear monitors takes some time! And I'm sure I don't have to tell you that nw-guys knew that when they were looking for a new singer...

[iako777]

you know i cannot agree with you my friend. Tarja and cold? oh my.. in my opinion she was puting some part of soul in her songs because there always is so deep feelings, because it touchs many peoples heart, sweet voice like angels :)))))

person who has beautiful voice can sing on the stage perfectly too, if it was so difficoult to sing on stage to people who has gift in singing, in the world whould not be such many good singers :)

[Soyalecitin]

Yes, I agree with you very much. :) But not EVERYONE who has a beautiful voice, can sing "perfectly" on stage with a metal band. - I totally respect your opinion and I respect Tarja, but I just don't like her voice and that's it. There are many old nw-songs that I find simply perfect and genius, but her voice was the factor I didn't like as much as their music itself. Now it's almost opposite; f.ex I don't like Cadence of Her Last Breath very much, but Anette's interpretation kind of "saves" it.

[iako777]

yes i understood , you dont like Tarja and i dont like Annete ... that's all :))) at first i had big disagreements with people who loved annete and hated tarja , but everyone has own taste and it's really stupid to fight about who is better dont you think so? for me Tarja always will be queen of music ... :)))

[Soyalecitin]

Yeah, I totally agree with you, it's stupid to fight about taste. :D And I don't HATE Tarja even if I like Anette. Actually I'm more interested in Tarja now than I was before. But unfortunately I don't like her solo album. I've tried to listen to it, but it doesn't give me anything! She's doing great, but musically it's quite mixed and a little bit unfinished. - But what about Tuomas' music, do you like it??

[iako777]

hmmmm how to say i'm not reAlly interested in his music , because i began to unlove him when he fired Tarja such bad way... i think it was not faIR and he wrote in letter disgusting things.. maybe i whould listen to nightwish now but when i remember him i dont want to listen anymore :( and i know somethings from my friend wich makes me to think bad :(

[iako777]

i dont hate Annete too. at first i hated her but i was child at that time i did not manege somethings , but now i think how i can hate someone who i dont know perssonaly... maybe she is great person i dont know... :)))

[iwuvchocobos]

Anette'll find her groove...She's at least being animated and moving around, which is nice ^_^ <3 Anette!

[Pabran]

Anette is ugly

[xxxxBurningAngelxxxx]

Pabran, are you a gay man, or a streight envy girl?.

[dean89]

in Africa? :-/ try Asia or the Mid-East

[bongiovi4eva]

Her voice is strong here you can tell even through the bad sound quality

[Zauron3ooo]

ooh fuck! i hate people from sweden that cant talk english whitout that stupip accent :S

i dont talk like that and she fucking sings in english :S:S:S:S

[linvik1]

Slapp av, christ xD

[BrotherOfTheTomb]

Umm, being a Tarja fan, I cannot complain about her accent, since Tarja also had a bad accent.

And we listen to their music. I fail to see why should you complain about Anette's accent.

[Abie342]

i miss that night :[

[ImmortalxBitch]

I love her and the new album.

[RanitayUvita]

por que baila!!!! por que baila!!!

aparte baila HORIBLEEE!!! pobre mujer deberian de enseñarle como moverse en el escenario. :(

[Cutarrita]

ajajaajaj es cierto....

[Ebonybitch91]

=/ we didnt have a big tv screeen XD but luv anette more in the personality than tarja, tarja is the best of singning BUT Anette is also sharing the place with tarja hahaha xd.

They are both beutiful, And Nettans hair are cool with that green stuff.

[LadyEleanor05]

OMG She doesnť sure where Sahara is... and she can't sing after all...

[Syrrann]

Annette can´t sing!? It´s the sound that sucks! She´s pretty good! She´s very good!

But I think the public sucks.. we in Sweden were much better!

[LadyEleanor05]

Yes, she can't sing she only screams...

[Cutarrita]

yeah...

[Bonelocen]

Pills

[maritanenax]

oh sorry but she is singing

[Syrrann]

Then you don´t know what singing is, stupid..!

[Cloudsouth07]

annettes much beta at least she actually moves on stage n dances!!! tarja did fuk all!

[LinkinParkRomania]

poor Nightwish .. he miss Tarja

[MatKC]

Anette kicks ass! Nightwish is amazing.

[plutoniangirl]

i must say she is more animated and more emotional than Tarja!

[gerardoitalia]

she look a bit like bjork.anyone think so?

[bociek93]

great song and I like far more Anette than Tarja :D

[xXKailleanXx]

I love Nightwish now! Tarja was good but Aette is better!

[BaicalHunter]

Nightwish is sooooo much better now. Dark Passion Play has struck over all my expectations. its GREAT !!!!!! and Sahara is easaly the best song on the album.

[hugobelloso]

Me gusta mucho como canta Anette en vivo, le pone su propio estilo, tanto al nuevo album como a las ke cantaba Tarja, ella ha llegado con un estilo propio,no ha llegado a imitar a Tarja, aunke para mi Tarja sera siempre la mejor del mundo... pero vamos Anette!! tu te as ganado el corazon de los ke somos verdaderos fans de nightwish, siempre apoyaremos al grupo.

[LadySirenofNepenthe]

she sounds like shes straining her voice

[liveaaaa]

of course, look the quality of the video ¬¬

Anette rules <3

[Idsart]

quality vid + it's a very difficult song to sing =)

[dragobleu]

She's extremely sexy and inspired!

The band too has grown mature and strong.

Very good.

[mystique59]

magnifique!

[edeyale]

me agrada como ella canta las canciones del disco nuevo, pero las viejas canciones no mucho, y claro q si importa quien cante nightwish sonaba mucho mas underground con tarja ahora suena super comercial pero bueno igual me gusta aunq anette aun nome convence

[EEH5555]

Nahhh, está más bien esta, ya la otra cansaba, jajaja, no tan así, pero esta nueva se la re banca, vamos Anette todabía :D:D

[kingaksu]

sounds good:)

[darkX15]

She is so kind!

[ghostviddebunker]

awesome performance. She does much better then most females i ever heard live.

This is so far my fav song on the new album. Just how it goes and the ending having that almost celtic sound to it vocally.

Personally i think she will do fine in nightwish. the reason why tajara is better then her is because of her material. Tajara has a voice not even close to what this girl has. So its almost impossible for this girl to do what tajara did no matter how hard she tried.

[ClaudiaDenise]

In live concerts people is so excited that they dont notice it sounds bad... i dont like annette's voice, but NW is a good band because of the music and the lyrics.

[ClaudiaDenise]

If you dont understand what i mean listen to the new version of Wishmaster...

LOL i dont have problems with changes but the sound is terrible (vocals) she actually screams when she cant reach the high tones.

[ClaudiaDenise]

LOL... the persons who say Annette sings good I bet is because they sing worse than her. A person who knows about music can tell you that she has a natural nice voice but she doesnt use it well...she isnt really good. Anyway NW is still a great band, because of the other musicians. Maybe you love anette and everything but the truth is that she is just "ok" and of course she isnt "the best thing that ever happened" LOL that was a stupid comment

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

No we like Anette because her voice sounds amazing. NOT because "we're worse than her".

[grifter723]

I really hate all the comparisons between Anette & Tarja. Personally, as a guitarist, I'm not really listening to the lyrics anyway. But a review of DPP I recently read summed it up best.."The are now an ensemble band, not an incredible singer with a backing band".

[bash669]

i dont know why all the comments are concerned with anette... i mean she's doing her part just like the rest of the guys. they are amazing! tuomas is an effing genius. and nightwish is nightwish. tarja is a great singer, and so is anette. each one has her own way though. if you love tarja so much, then i guess you should check out her solo project. i personally didn't like it at all (the songs i heard). however, all thanks to tarja for all the years, but this is a new era.

[everdreamfab]

all the comments are concerned with anette beacause people often forget that the singer don't make the whole band ^^ And also because she's new for them, so they need to compare anette with Tarja... So, according to me, Nightwish is great. No matter who sing ...

[perdolum]

I really like this song...but personally I think Anette should only perform the "dark passion play songs" :S

I have nothing against her...but it doesnt sound good at all listen to her singing old stuff like "wishmaster" ...anyway...

[charmedbyangel]

She's kind of annoying. Shut up and sing, woman!

[gorazdrajar]

I support her.. but she's definitily not the best thing that happened to nightwish.. i mean.. she's probably a much better person than Tarja and all.. but music is all about sound, especially nightwish music. they succeeded because of Tarjas voice. I have absolutely nothing against Anette, but personally i'd like Tarja back more than anything

[AngelsFallFirst666]

I'm a big Nightwish fan

& I agree with Perfidia !

I love them no matter what

Annete is so cool

& I love how she's talking to the crowd

& This song is my favourite from Dark Passion play <3

[cichymp1]

Anette...hmm...tragedia.

[SakumaRyuichiNG]

Tarja no fue la mas fantástica tampoco ¿eh? Al menos Anette se toma el tiempo de hablar con el público Tarja iba, cantaba y adiós. -Y yo adoro a Tarja como cantante o.ó!-

[Perfidia]

Anette is the best thing that ever happened to Nightwish. Love to all the true Nightwish fans who support them no matter what?

[horsefacehorseface]

tal aviv gone wiled, i wish iwas there...........

[soporaeternus1990]

Un fiasco!!! Ni siquiera puede llegar a los altos que ella misma grabo ¬¬ y para disimularlos les cambia el tono y con una voz arabesca que da asco!!!!....

[triviumislife]

Fuckin awesome song, this ROCKS !!!! :)

[darksideofthemoon28]

what's that tatoo on her chest?

[RinaNothing]

damslam, it's treble clef.

[AlmightyDM]

A treble cleff? That's awesome :)

[damslam]

does any1 know what she's got drawn on her skin?

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

I LOVE THIS BAND! ANETTE ROCKS!

[vilmaragouv]

hunnnnmmm...Marco safadinhoo....

[JapaOnNet]

Not Gothic Metal ¬¬°

Nightwish is Symphonic Metal.

[liricobarroco]

it's gothic metal!!!¿¿¿:s???

[RacheyRocker]

wow good quality!

[Zhengyis]

why nobody can make a good quality video^^

[benjnin]

You can, buy some pro equipment, bring it to the gig and upload to youtube, either that or stop complaining. ;)

[vilmaragouv]

oh God!

wonderful!!!

[helobiagi]

WONDERFUL!!!!

[triviumislife]

PERFECT ANETTE, PERFECT BAND !!!!!!

[tuecoute]

[rozetca]
