You have pretty strong opinions but they are based on nothing. Not going to dissecate and prove that all you said is wrong, just want to clarify 2 things:

- "actually her range is limited." - of course, no human being has unlimited range. She has a huge LIVE singing range, way above an opera singer's. Her tessitura is enormous.

- "her voice has some major flaws" - I never heard such a naturally flawless voice, and I am listening opera since childhood.

That's about all

@alessia79twnsnd interesting interview.. Poor girl non-stop bombardment with NW questions. you wouldnt sing the song that you dont like - cover comment.

@plutoniangirl

From the top of my head I also heard her singing classical in norwegian or swedish, latin, italian and czech.

Regarding the covers, it's all fun for her. Here is an interview from a few days ago /watch?v=sr9FtF82ppQ

Check out around 2:00 what she says about covers.

@irenikus777 Tarja gave another side to Poison. for me, Alice Cooper's version makes sense whereas Tarja's not really - the message gets lost. There is a thing called mutual respect. She probably sent him almost a final version of the song and he approved it. is it horrible? Not really. Is it better than over the hill and far away? I dont think so.

@alessia79twnsnd every foreign language class used to have accent/diction workshop not anymore - very sad. A lot of ppl in music major were taking foreign languages just to get into that workshop. English operas - nope never seen them here. it is German/spanish/italian. there is a video of Sarah brightman singing in russian aria from Onegin - my russian friends said they couldnt understand her at all. One of them is on youtube.

@alessia79twnsnd She doesnt sing in over 10 languages - Spanish, Italian, Russian, English, German, Finnish,. What are the others? Her Russian diction is awesome. My few friends speak Russian they all said you barely can tell. She knows Spanish fluently not suprized. Finnish language is very soft so soft spoken languages should be no problem for her to sing in

@plutoniangirl

Tarja has a very good diction and pronounciation and sings in over 10 languages. Some she uses like a native (spanish for eg), but for english she kept a slight accent. My thought is that's intentional and I love it because it gives a dark/exotic touch to her voice.

There are artistical choices I wish she drops like the "lament" style in 1-2 of her songs, but the accent I really love.

[alessia79twnsnd]

@plutoniangirl

Maybe I was hasty and you misunderstood me.

Diction per se - is a very important part of any music technique. But all those classes are meant to teach you how to form and pronounce words correctly from musical.. artistic POV.

Even foreign languages taught are "classical" - french, german, italian etc (no english btw at least in my country) - are there to teach you how to form a vocal technique, not to teach you to speak english like an american, or an englishman.

@plutoniangirl

She may have picked songs that don't fit her, but not the ones mentioned by yourself.

Both were "fun-covers" but worked out excelent.

For eg after hearing her cover of poison, Alice Cooper gave her the copyright to put it on her album, and took her on tour with him as a special guest.

I GUESS he liked it?

[plutoniangirl]

@irenikus777 I said RESPECT for a reason. Opera and ballet/figure skating are brutal full time and thensome job. I do not know how many hours it takes to work on a voice, I would not be suprized to hear it is over 4. "Lack of culture or musical ear" - sounds like you are attacking. Listen, opera princess, you can get all technical but you cannot deny that Tarja sometimes picks some songs that dont even fit her like Poison or Bon Jovi she did live. OTHAFA & Oasis sound great.

[plutoniangirl]

@alessia79twnsnd each class for a specific language. There must be a reason why they are taught.
