There are singers/artists like her in America, indeed throughout the world. The issue is the music labels in America, the media as a whole. The music here is all flash with little substance.

There is no composition that this incredible woman cannot make sound like a direct delivery from Heaven. To say that she has an Angelic voice, might be giving too much credit to the angels. She is obviously one of Tolkien's Vala. I think Tuomas has cornered the market on the finest female singers of our generation, no wonder he's such a genius!!
Metallica are my favourite band of all time, and this is one of the most beautiful versions of this song that I've ever come across. Absolutely mesmerising.
Elle as une voix vraiment incroyable et ainsi précieux ! Cette chanson du Metallica est enterprete d'elle en une manière hyper ! Sa manière de sentir, de communiquer sont émotions,la modulation de sa voix ! Tout regard Johanna Kurkela c'est ainsi incroyable ! N'ai pas de mots...
Uskomattoman kaunis esitys tästä upeasta biisistä josta on tehty monta hienoa tulkintaa. Johanalla on kaunis ääni ja hän on lahjakas. Johanna tekee tästä biisistä ihan erityisen kauniin ja herkän tulkinnan joka vetoaa syvälle tunteisiin...UPEAA!!!!
these words by yours truly Jaymz Hetfield,tells something 4 each their own. for me its about family,friendship and the words you need to show them once i a while and/or always. Nothing else matters!!
Oma veikkaus. Nyt kun Johanna on Tuomaksen silmäterä, tulemme kuulemaan entistä enemmän häneltä myös enlanninkielisiä biisejä. Käsittääkseni parhaillaan on meneillään joku juttu, jossa Johanna on yhteistyössä Nightwishin biiseissä vaikuttaneitten muusikoiden kanssa.
I suppose this is Johanna pretty much starting out over seven years ago in a 'talent' competition? And WOW - WHAT a talent. Just listen carefully to how she phrases this song (--2:28-----2:35--, --2:58--, --3:10--, --4:32-----4:38--) and the many nuances in it. It is utterly AMAZING. She turns what is an average song into a killer song. How does she do that??? Just natural - as only a few possess. And yet - she didn't go down this more commercial route - or singing international songs that could have related to a world wide audience and made her a global star (yes she had what it takes). Why not? And now she's pretty much still as obscure and unknown globally as she was then - - except in Finland of course. WHAT a pity. Yeah - she needed a star rated SPECIAL 'international song' written for her, plugged world wide and she never got it and still hasn't if you listen to her current stuff. Still time - but not sure she wants that - and somebody still has to deliver her THAT special song - otherwise like so many others - she'll sink without trace (outside Finland that is !!). Gutted.
+Bender Fender Thanks for this - what is a nenäpäivä (nose day) concert in Finland? And how did Johanna first come to fame (how was her talent first 'spotted')?Do you have TV talent shows like 'The Voice'/'X factor' in Finland?
KAUNIS! IHANA! I DON'T KNOW ANY MORE FINNISH COMPLIMENTS FOR THIS BEAUTINESS. Greetins from Argentina. Sorry for the caps. Just, they needed to be caps...
Taidat tarkoittaa sitä Lucie Silvaksen levyttämää coveria. Mielestäni Kurkela laulaa tämän biisin noin tuhannen kertaa paremmin, seksikkäämmin, upeammin ja tulkiten. Ainakin Kurkelalla on parempi tekniikka, selvästi! tosin kauneushan on kuulijan korvassa...
As a girl I used to avoid her videos cuz I like Tuomas>>> Now I like Johanna,,,,,,,,,,,,I am so jealous of Tuomas \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ This version gives me thrills and this is definitly not my favorite song of metallica. But gosh I can imagine seeing her, and falling in love with her...
Tämäkin loistava Johanna Kurkelan video löytyy luomaltani soittolistalta: Johanna Kurkela johon on linkki: czcams.com/play/PLOIJsEnjNjV6QJIFVbXAFNsOop034XDbd.html
Goodness - HOW the voice has changed over the last six years - and matured. Definitely prefer her singing in Finnish! Not much sign of the more gentle Johanna vocals here - in fact showing how capable she is (or was) at delivering more generic 'power' pop and 'soul' vocals (that last note!) - when required. Glad she didn't go down that route though. Wow what a talent.
I'm jealous of nordic countries. They have so much talent, specially in metal.
+demonizer123 Yes, we have some good music here :) I feel privileged to be living in Finland.

no, very weak performance
Uskomattoman kaunis esitys tästä upeasta biisistä josta on tehty monta hienoa tulkintaa. Johanalla on kaunis ääni ja hän on lahjakas.

Johanna on upea esiintyjä, jolla on fantastisen kaunis ääni !!!!!!
MYKISTÄVÄ ESITYS !!!!!
That purity of Johannas voice is amazing.
Suuren Maailmanluokan ääni pienessä Suomessamme
Stupendo, as we say in Italy. I've never seen a such beautiful interpretation of this song. You're great.
Love Johanna so much. She always brings me to tears. Beautiful lady x
First time ever that a version of this song got me tears and goosebumps. Amazing. Just amazing.
what a lovely pure sound
What an amazing voice!!! love her xx
it would have been so great if apocalyptica played it and johanna sang. still, I love this version
I can't get enough of her voice 😍
i can say just WOW....it's AWSOME
Just beautiful! Johannas voice is angels voice
She has such an amazing voice...
So beautiful, both Johanna and the song.
She is like an angel
these words by yours truly Jaymz Hetfield,tells something 4 each their own. for me its about family,friendship and the words you need to show them once i a while and/or always. Nothing else matters!!
I still can't believe this is the same girl I saw on Finnish television years ago singing "Varpunen Jouluaamuna". I'm flabbergasted!
She has a wonderful voice :)
Her singing is just so effortless, but perfect. This is a talent, not something you've learned.
Upea! Kiitos laulasta! Olet paremmin!!!!
Nothing else but Johannas voice is matter of the song.
The voice is best of this song.
I love it.
Johannan ääni on parasta tässäkin esityksessä.
this is a lovely version
She's beautiful, and she's very lucky to have Tuomas as a boyfriend.
I like her voice more than Anette's. :)
Oma veikkaus. Nyt kun Johanna on Tuomaksen silmäterä, tulemme kuulemaan entistä enemmän häneltä myös enlanninkielisiä biisejä. Käsittääkseni parhaillaan on meneillään joku juttu, jossa Johanna on yhteistyössä Nightwishin biiseissä vaikuttaneitten muusikoiden kanssa.
Hyvin ennustettu
absoloutely fantastic!
her voice in deathaura gives me shivers, amazing!!
Johanna Kurkela is just stunning !!!!!!!!!
wow. i have chills.
best song ever...not from johanna but from metallica...but she is doing fine
Tämä on kyllä niin ihana
Whoa. Can't find words...
I just held witness to an amazing goddess of music :D
one of the most beautiful women in the earth
canta hermoso
la escuche y me enamore de su voz=3
Johanna... Oh my god... I'm amazed! Sing! Sing angel of music!
o my god such a great voice and music
love the instruments. :)
Johanna on upea laulaja Lumijoelta!
I would listen "sleeping sun" performed by her and Apocalyptica with great pleasure :3
En olisi luullut, että Johannalla on niin hienostunut maku!
apelcinum oranssi Onhan Johannalla hevimies rinnallaan :)
Beautiful!

+jezkn not talent show. this is nenäpäivä (nose day) concert.
+Bender Fender Thanks for this - what is a nenäpäivä (nose day) concert in Finland? And how did Johanna first come to fame (how was her talent first 'spotted')?Do you have TV talent shows like 'The Voice'/'X factor' in Finland?
+jezkn It's a yearly charity event.
Is there anything that extended Nightwish "family" haven't covered yet? LOL!
French rap music?
Aivan järjetön ääni!!!
Another nice version... sweetie...
I think i love her
very beautiful!:-)
MYKISTÄVÄN UPEA! KLASSISEN KAUNIS!
WOW. Luulin tätä jonkin sortin vitsiksi. Mutta älyttömän mahtavaa
En oo koskaan kuullut näin upeeta ääntä kuin Johannalla on!
yes love this :D
KAUNIS! IHANA! I DON'T KNOW ANY MORE FINNISH COMPLIMENTS FOR THIS BEAUTINESS. Greetins from Argentina. Sorry for the caps. Just, they needed to be caps...
Great words
Ei oikee toimi, mun mielest
i agree she was beautiful in deathaura and no dream can heal a broken heart
wow!!!
I'm in totaly agreement :)
Taidat tarkoittaa sitä Lucie Silvaksen levyttämää coveria.
Mielestäni Kurkela laulaa tämän biisin noin tuhannen kertaa paremmin, seksikkäämmin, upeammin ja tulkiten. Ainakin Kurkelalla on parempi tekniikka, selvästi!
tosin kauneushan on kuulijan korvassa...
This girl is a beauty and her voice too!im curios(im a girl)is it true that she has a relationship with Tuomas Holopainen?maybe someone knows!
Does anyone have this version of the song? I'd love to have it on my ipod, I have the original, but I love this one as well.
@tappajamarsu She sings that with sonata arctica.
As a girl I used to avoid her videos cuz I like Tuomas>>>
Now I like Johanna,,,,,,,,,,,,I am so jealous of Tuomas
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
This version gives me thrills and this is definitly not my favorite song of metallica.
But gosh I can imagine seeing her, and falling in love with her...
good ♪♪
Tuomas's girlfriend :p yes she has a so great voice.
I agree
I'm going to make some Metallica fans hate me now, but I think I prefer this. ♥
@XFandangosX also in No Dream Can Heal a Broken Heart! *-*
sydäntä riipivää, ei voi muuta sanoa
@Ratty183 i hope she will be with on there new cd sometimes

MAHTAVA ÄÄNI!
wow
Cool dress
What kind of concert is this? Charity?
@LettheHammerFall1982 noup,, it was Frank Pappa, famous Finnish News man
Who produced this and directed this? Dude walks infront of the camera and the recorded feed isnt altered with the feed from the other cameras?
Does it really look like a directed music video to you?
It's just a recording from live show. Not much altering can be done when it's live...
Goodness - HOW the voice has changed over the last six years - and matured.
Definitely prefer her singing in Finnish!
Not much sign of the more gentle Johanna vocals here - in fact showing how capable she is (or was) at delivering more generic 'power' pop and 'soul' vocals (that last note!) - when required. Glad she didn't go down that route though.
Wow what a talent.
jezkn I completly agree with you, i first found out about her from the Sonata Arctica's collab, and I loved her voice ever since.
@labbai Miks olisi?
@Ratty183 Sonata Arctica?? Its metallica..
@norjassa Yeah?
I met once. Didn't know she was Toumas girlfriend, she has an amazing voice man....and shes a lot sexier in person
ok,thank you
You know you're a good singer when Uncle Sam is watching your concert. 0:15
anyone else see willy wonka doing a peekaboo earlier on the video?
millä järjellä 19 ihmistä EI tykkää tästä??
hajosin
@Ratty183 aahh, k didnt know this
Tuomas Halopainen's wife 🤘🤘
i must learn finnish urgently
Ajateltiin jo silloin tämän nenäpäivän aikaan, että Suomen mahtavimpien muusikkojen tulisi löytää toisensa... Onnea Johanna ja Tuomas.
Nii Hetfield kohassa 0:15? :D
