I'm sure you're right, and there's a name for those people: idiots.


I just think they're people who like decent singers.

But who cares you get all flustered whenever someone says anything bad about them eheh

She should have stayed with Alyson Avenue, their first two albums were really classy AOR :
 
 
 
However, unlike Nightwish, they found the perfect match to Anette to replace her :

People who like emo singers are people who like decent singers?  I stand by my idiot statement - can't STAND emo!  So whiny - it's like listening to my 3 and 4 year old, but with a band behind them! LOL

Had nothing against Anette, saw them last year in Paris.

I came as a shock to me, very unexpected.

On the plus side : maybe they will go back to playing heavy metal ... A whole chunk of the concert was dedicated to Tuomas' newfound love for folk and ... I wondered if it was still a nightwish concert.

Kinda shocked, I saw Nightwish/Kamelot 2 weeks ago in Michigan. Very good show.

Yes, I would've preferred a singer with a bit more range than what Anette brought, but the two times I saw Nightwish (2007 & 2012) she had very good stage presence and did very well singing-wise.

Floor would make a great permanent replacement though, if she & the band wished. She can do the opera stuff that Tarja brought, and sound more 'pop' like what Anette brought, both styles.

Quite much talk about the issue here in Finland, and some of my friends are very interested of the band.
Saw this recent clip of with Floor Jansen, and she certainly is a convincing entertainer, though I wouldn't personally be so interested of the music:



Is the mentione Ayreon quite similar in style?
Have a great workweek you all.

^ yes. Floor Jansen style is very similar as to what she displayed with Ayreon. The album 10010000100 is a shining example of her range and sImplicit. I think she is a great fit. Don't see a problem with this move 👌

An official Nightwish video of Floor in action at the the premiere of the "Imaginaerum" film on November 10 at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland, where the audience was treated to both a full-scale Nightwish concert (their last concert in Finland this year) and the first-ever public screening of the movie. There are lots of unofficial audience-filmed clips of this show on YouTube, despite the use of cameras of any kind being 'banned' on the night - there's even a couple of uploads of the whole concert, but both audio and video quality is, not surprisingly, somewhat less than perfect. Here's hoping that whoever filmed this particular clip professionally also recorded the rest of the show, and that a proper DVD of it will follow sometime in the spring.
