Oh my god

I would've loved to have seen them in Finland than the UK. Everything seems so better, the crowd, the songlist, Anette is amazing here.

@CraiglesBagels

She was very good :) though I think, even if Ghost Love Score is my absolute favourite, Anette sounded just......IIIIIH at it D: XD

[mackolaszlo]

That's the spirit guys! I love how you sing along :)

[Ebonybitch91]

@mackolaszlo

XD Wish I could sing less loud........but who can, when it's Nightwish you are watching!? ;-)

[Ajaxxx15]

most powerfull perf ever..

[WaterArk]

I love how she's sung this song differently almost every time. I think this is one of my favorite versions <3

@HeartsEyes

You don't need to get offended, it's simply a matter of taste ;)

[HeartsEyes]

@12321marianne No need to get offensive about a matter of taste.

@HeartsEyes

You asked that lot of semi-retarded questions and concluded that you simply don't like it.

You know the expression 'throwing diamonds to the pigs'? You were crystal clear image for it.

[HeartsEyes]

@irenikus777 Just making sure that was the difference you were using the different terms for. I can hear it indeed, it's actually the part I don't really like. ;)

Yep, guess we cleared things up there, have a good one.

@HeartsEyes

Regarding the first two: belting means using throat muscle and chest voice to produce mid and high range notes.

You really cannot hear the difference? Meaning that in that vocalization from Siren, you really cannot hear EXTRA screeching/vibrating sounds in parralel?

No matter.. to answer your final question, this discussion about Siren started some time ago when somebody stated that Tarja in Siren sounds like that because her voice is processed/filtered.

I am off now, gn and gl.

@HeartsEyes

10-th man down is a powerful and dark tune. The second part from which I gave the example is very ryhtmic and intense and that part of Tarja's is literally giving me the chills.

I gave it as an example of a technique having certain roots and purpose, but used differently in another purpose - same as the power/no power belting.

[HeartsEyes]

@irenikus777 "the difference" as in between belting and power belting? Sorry about the confusion.

And I do see what you mean with the staccatissimo in the second video, though I don't see belting there at all. ;)

The Siren part is probably a matter of taste.. ;) if you say so, I can respect it as skill, but I can find it nowhere beautiful (but which probably isn't the intention anyway?). Just me.

I do wonder though why we discuss 10th Man Down and The Siren under an Ever Dream video. xD

[irenikus777]

@HeartsEyes

Sorry, I might have been a bit aggresive. Lately every discussion on YT about Tarja or NW is transforming into a flame war.

Anyway.. the difference consists in that scratching intermittent sound. It's a bit more obvious here at 2:40

Here at 4:10 is great example of skill. A rare coloratura technique (staccatissimo) used in an even more unusual way

Pretty "kewl" no? :)

[HeartsEyes]

@irenikus777 What you explained in the previous reply is known to me as simply "belting", which is why I asked about the different term. Sorry if that already offends you, though I see no reason to pre-assume I had anything against that technique.

[irenikus777]

@HeartsEyes

I explained in the previous reply. Power belting involves straining of the vocal cords, so that in their tension to touch eachother and produce that mixed metallic sound. By many pretentious singers it's not even accepted and considered a certain way to injure yourself. Obviously it's not the case, as I showed Tarja does it everytime in Siren

Yourself can find examples in oriental religious music and some "black" music, I am busy and kind of tired of these discussions to be honest.
