I agree. The parts that Annette changed in the middle of the chorus sound more mysterious and haunting than Tarja's rendition. I'm glad that Annette decided to make the song her own and not try to copy Tarja...it shows good musicianship.
In my opinion this version changed the sense of the song, because when Tarja vocalized, it evoked a Siren's singing, that a sailor in a ship (Marco in this case) could hear, but that eeeeiiiiiaaa eeeeeiiiiiaaaa from Anette doesn't evoke a siren, at least not to me.
Well, to me and many others, it does still evoke that same ambiance of the original. I agree that Tarja's version evoked a siren's song. But Anette's "aaaye aye aye" gives a sense that the siren is actively calling to "the sailor" rather than Tarja's version where it sounds as if a siren is passively singing with no intent on luring the sailor in. Though the part @2:35 I do prefer with Tarja; she used a very unique style of singing that made it sound more exotic.
This is kinda good. However, I don't think she does the vocalising well, and considering the vocalising is mostly all the female vocalist does during this song, that's not promising.
It's Tuomas's fault the chorus doesn't sound as good. To me, Tarja's chorus vocals seemed to have a progressing feel to them. Annette's don't, and again, this is something Tuomas has done, not Annette.
Still, nothing could ever make me hate the Siren. MY favourite Nightwish song.

look, i dont think annette sings bad, she doesnt, but this song MUST be singed by tarja, annette cant reach the high notes tarja put in this song, and that was what made this song such a good one. tarja and annette both rock but tarja's voice fits better NW's style, its really sad that they fired her, i dont care who was guilty, they may have done right for the band by firing tarja, but not for us, we r suffering the consequences.... :'(
i agree with you for some points. I really like this version with Anette while I totally hate wishmaster.. Anyway i dont think tarja has been fired.. she would be gone anyway so not much to talk about.. it just happened earlier.. Anette has talent and has a very heavy burdn to carry.. give her a chance cos she is very talented
Who's pissed off like me by the people who still whine about Tarja?
I cannot stand them anymore!!! If you like Tarja go and listen to her cds (available in every store on the planet earth) and leave Nightwish BE!!!!!! Happy with Anette.
I love Tarja and her voice in NW, but now she's gone on her road, so will you please people stop to complain about her leaving?
I really don't get this people who say Anette's voice is popish. Cmon, Tarja's is metal??? Get real!! I think "The Siren" gets a lot better with Anette. So sue me!

The chemistry between Anette and Marco's voices doesn't quite work out...I totally understand where Nightwish was coming from wanting to go in a different direction, but it just doesn't really work to have a non-opera singer sing an operatic metal song.
E quando acabou o concerto fiquei um pouco desiludida. Anette pode andar aos 'pulos' mas nem assim consegue chegar aos calcanhares de Tarja. E esta música foi uma que mais me desiludiu =/ Principalmente a primeira parte que mudada para o tom da Anette, não ficou magnifica como a anterior versão.
Também estive no concerto. E Anette não pode ser comparada com Tarja, pois ela nem consegue chegar às notas da Tarja. Nightwish perdeu o seu lado épico. Não só os elementos masculinos da banda são excelentes como a Tarja o é, formavam juntos uma das melhores bandas até hoje. Não digo que a Anette seja uma má cantora, pois não o é. Mas para uma banda como os Nightwish, ela não se 'encaixa'. um exagero dizer que ela é uma cantora pop -.- Cantora de Rock sim!
a anette é mesmo um máááximo,algum dia irão aceitar que a tarja foi-se embora dos nightwish?! epaaaaaa,a anette é uma óptima vocalista,a voz dela pode não ser igual à tarja,mas ela canta mesmo muito bem ya!?

Marco I LOVE YOU....you're voice is beautiful!! Tuomas I ADORE YOU but I can't believe that you changed Tarja for that shit of anette....Emppu I LOVE YOU too...and of course I LOVE YOU tooo Jukka...anette I hate you with all my strength...
for me the song sucks now because me favorite part was the ha ha ha and she changed it i dont know how tuomas is taking the fact she changedd some of his songs
if you compare how the band moves on the stage with tarja and Annette you see a great difference the disappointment on their faces because of their great new singer

SOOOOOOOOOOO DISGUSTING!!! jajajajajaja...soooo PATHETIC!!!....I can't believe this....jajajajajajajajajajajaja.....anette you're not for Nightwish!...you sing like britney spears...really....believe me
Leave Anette alone. She does great job on old songs. I still like the old songs better with Tarja but she sings them good also. If you don't like her fine, you don't need to shit on her.
Claro que não é a Tarja...e então? Tá muito porreiro! Convençam-se que a Tarja não volta para os Nightwish e que eles arranjaram uma boa vocalista que está a fazer um óptimo trabalho!
the prove that this song isn't the same anymore without Tarja is that they finished it with samples of the siren's voice... and whom was the siren's voice?!
