I agree, and even made two mistakes, that even though Anette's voice is not at all like Tarja's she also left the band in a unique way and was totally wronged. On the Floor, even though I like to hear her singing the new songs, I can't find the impacting voice
You might say that all the band wrote the letter but it wasn't. Tuomas wrote it and then Marco, Jukka & Emppu signed down there. Last month I met Tarja and she is a wonderful person. Always smiling and trying to make you feel comfortable. Her husband too.
You cannot "miss" Tarja, she still sings, she is still a goddess who blesses us with her voice. She will always be our greatest singer. Long live Tarja.
I wonder if they understand that with TARJA they were amazing,now they are just like any other band with nothing special to make them the best. Tarja is still amazing without them:)
"Friends " are like clouds... They pass us one after the other.. No one stays with us forever... Some love us for a moment of time... Some uses us... Some hate us when their hearts become harder... Well... this is not the end.. And Tarja, I wish you all the best for your future.... God bless you.
Everything what is beautiful don't last forever! Nightwish is stop to exsist for me when Tarja is gone from bend. They was the best conbination ever. They will stay in my most beautiful memories! Thank you Nightwish for all most beautiful songs!
so ... I miss her very much when it comes to working with nightwish ... I have 12 years and I understand the music ... I do not know why, but it really touched me nightwish ... For example, when I listen to'' Sleeping sun "is somehow refrain from crying, but when it comes to the" Phantom of the Opera "is roaring all the day ... I'm a fan of Tarja and keep her fingers crossed, but I think that it would be better if it were to nightwish ... Love from Marynia
Nightwish is the best foreverWith everyone of the 3 vocals it was a new nightwish with tarja is best because its the first but anette aslo good a new era of nightwish and floor now it s a very best moments i wish she stay in the bands.and i wish the best to tarja and floor Forever nightwish Algerian fan
The Ankh some of her solo songs are really great..but..she and the band were having perfect chemistry..but in the way things happend...i olnly listen old nightwish and some of tarja's solo songs
+Nagia Gougou i must say if u dont listen to Nightwish now With floor i say u are missing out on some great Music. i was like u feelt NW lost part of theyre sould when replaising tarja, anete did not have the voice to forfill the Music. Now it is a different story Floor Jansen, in my opuinion has it she has the voice to carry NW songs and have the sound.
MsStecarl in thosse days i checked the new singer of NW andi agree...but still time will tell if she is a worthly replacement..as far as now,i start listen NW again...i expect to lift up more her voice cause i believe she can..we will see :-)
Nagia Gougou Well, I listen to all Tarja`s songs (solo and with Nightwish). I am the like that loves to let the music play when I sleep, and I just love to listen Tarja before I sleep and when I wake up. Makes waking up easyer:)).
how could any band of sound mind ever let such a miracle as Tarja go, She is arguably the greatest femal vocalist of recorded history. i mean who can say that nightwish's guitar or keyboard player are even semi-proficient, they are good musicians at best, more likey merely o.k. and now with Tarja gone it really shows. what were they thinking. but Tarja can never be anything less, as for the relic that became of nightwish, you cant polish a turd, they should count their blessings.
You are the Angel of my Life... Yes!!!!! Tarja hatte Aura, Charisma, she`s Amazing!!! Wenn ich mir die aktuellen Fotos von der Autogrammstunde mit Frau Olzon anschaue.... OMG! Dieses orangene Kleid, hat sie das in Deutschland bei kik erstanden???? Auf dem neuen Poster sieht sie süß aus...in echt sieht man das alles nur Photoshop ist, nicht mal ihre langen Locken sind echt!!! Ich brauche eine Frontfrau mit Charisma, die mich in Ihren Bann zieht!
Its a shame when a good band breaks up. Many people say that Nightwish is nothing without Tarja, which is a bit harsh id say. The other way around, i must admit I don't find Tarja's solo music anywhere near what it was with Nightwish. The combination of vocal, lyrics and heavy metal in Nightwish was unmatched. I now follow neither Tarja nor Nightwish, apart from checking up on both parts now and then. I firmly feel that neither will ever reach anywher near what they where together.
After the recording in the Hartwall Areena (Helsinki) on October 21, 2005, of the new live DVD End of an Era (released June 2006), the four other members of Nightwish decided that it was best to continue Nightwish without Tarja Turunen, a feeling they expressed through an open letter which was given to Turunen by Tuomas Holopainen after the concert, and afterwards posted on the band’s website.[48]
A) Tuomas told her not to. When they had a song, they recorded it and sent it (CD or cassette) to her house so she can do the vocals and then record it in studio. Actually they sent it by mail or e-mail. They never went to her house.
Ugh~ Nightwish without Tarja, someone please pinch me and tell me this is just a long nightmare. I didn't grow up just to find a world like this. I wanted to have years and years of quality Nightwish music~ and now it's gone, fucking~ gone. If I was Anette, honestly, out of respect for the fans I'd walk away and form a new band~ because it's a travesty what the band has become. They should change their name and end the chapter instead of soiling it.
Actually I'd have to agree with ale vega.....I see, even comparing the music, Nightwish without the uniqueness of Tarja's voice they just sound like a hundred other metal bands out there nowadays. I'm not saying the music isn't well-written or the lyrics beautiful either....but many other bands have that too! But Tarja solo still shows her unique and versatile musical and lyrical style. I truely believe she has only gotten better and better with every new album, Nightwish has not, bottom line
B) DPP Sold so many albums because we all wanted to see (or hear) the new singer. That's why. Now think of this: If Tarja comes back to NW... How many albums would they sell?
on n'a pas le droit de faire dessales coup comme ca ,je suis Avec TOI tarja a fond (je vit la meme chose en ce moment pas marrant.Tu es la meilleur meme sans eux tu es la meilleur
Nightwish is lost without her. I no longer like them. Although, I like the music with her in the band. I.bought their "Once" album. But, I don't plan on buying anymore of them.
I would have liked to have went to one of the Nightwish concerts while she was in the band. But, when they tour in the United States they don't come anywhere near me. Last year they went to Oklahoma City. But, Floor Jensen is their singer now. I liked her when she was in After Forever though. I do not like her in Nightwish. I don't like the was Nightwish plays these days.
Well Justin Nightwish knows exactly where and who they are and they are doing just fine. You on the other hand seem to still be damaged by something 11 years ago that you weren't even a part of. That's the definition of lost.
lost adjective 1. unable to find one's way; not knowing one's whereabouts. 2. denoting something that has been taken away or cannot be recovered. I'd say he's exactly right and both of those meanings are applicable to the modern neo-nightwish we see today. First of all, they can't seem to decide what direction they wish to go in. First they hired a pop style vocalist to replace her. Then they replaced her with a more rock/metal style singer. Then with this new more rock/metal style singer they release a weak album (EFMB) with songs that sound more folk style than metal. Then when they go on tour for that album they start bringing back and incorporating many of their older songs in that tour, but not in their original form, but instead in many cases dumbed down from the original. In other instances they've incorporated new elements into the old songs that simply don't fit and sound out of place, like Troy's flute in their "new" version of Nemo. Really, it sounds like tuomas just want to give Troy a part to play in that song and didn't care at all whether it fit with the song or not. So, that pretty much covers number 1. They have no clear musical direction like the original nightwish did. as for number 2, Tarja wasn't just the face and voice of the band.tuomas ,himself admitted on the End of Innocence DVD that Tarja, her voice, and her style were the inspiration for the entire concept of nightwish. The original plan was not even metal, it was just a project to record some folk music. It was only after he heard Tarja's vocals and how well she had developed it, that he came to that inspiration. Tarja truly was the soul of nightwish. She was the one who brought the music to life with the emotion she rendered into it, none of the other vocalist have been able to do so quite the same as she did. They've definitely lost something that was magical. Music must be brought to life. Otherwise, it's just notes on a piece of paper. Sure tuomas writes the music. However, he lacks the ability to bring his music to life. he lacks the ability to give it emotion and to effectively convey that emotion to an audience. That is a a special skill that only a few people have and some do it better than others. Tarja has the skill and she has it far and away better than any of the other vocalists. it isn't just her incredible vocal superiority that does this. It's everything about her. it's her style and grace. it's her elegance. It's how in a single moment the expression on her face can show you exactly her true and honest emotion and make you fell it exactly as she does. It's all these things and everything at the same time. Tarja is the total package. She's not just a cute pop singer. She's not just a rock singer who can yell really loud. She's the real deal honest and genuine and when you watch and listen to her, you know it deep down inside!
In my opinion Nightwish is for Tarja no matter how many singers they've bring in it will never be same with Tarja, present Nightwish is so much boring I only listening to Tarja era's
Sure but the new stuff is also awesome and they got a whole lot of new fans as well. I'm glad they've left behind most of the old songs. Those are for Tarja. The new ones for Anette and Marco rock too. If you like celtic heavy stuff it's impossible you won't like the new NW.
It was written by Holopainen but signed by the other three band members. The main justification given in the letter for Turunen’s dismissal was that the band felt that both her husband Marcelo Cabuli (an Argentine businessman) and commercial interests had changed her attitude towards the band.[48]
@meisteraus Hi, yes, I agree. :) However, Tuomas started writing songs that fit into Anette's vocal range, and it's a fact that Dark Passion Play sold more copies than any previous Nightwish albums. I think that's wonderful, but at the same time, I miss Tarja in Nightwish, and their music was gorgeous and should have won thousands of medals and awards. I am not trying to preach to you, I hope you understand where I'm coming from. :) You're the only who replied and wasn't mean about it. Haha.
Why good bye? She's doing just fine alone. Actually I like her even more now. I think she can express herself way better now than she did in Nightwish period. Good luck, Tarja and thank God for your voice!
The Greatest loss was for the fans and for Nightwish. Their vocals now are sad, compared to the beauty amd mastery Tarja brought to the band.
I agree, and even made two mistakes, that even though Anette's voice is not at all like Tarja's she also left the band in a unique way and was totally wronged. On the Floor, even though I like to hear her singing the new songs, I can't find the impacting voice
Tarja Turunen was the best singer from Nightwish for my , for now and forever, i mis you voice
You might say that all the band wrote the letter but it wasn't. Tuomas wrote it and then Marco, Jukka & Emppu signed down there. Last month I met Tarja and she is a wonderful person. Always smiling and trying to make you feel comfortable. Her husband too.
WE LOVE YOU TARJA!!!
YOU WAS THE HEART OF NIGHTWISH
YOU HAVE THE VOICE OF GOD
You are queen of rock. I love you tarja..
You cannot "miss" Tarja, she still sings, she is still a goddess who blesses us with her voice. She will always be our greatest singer. Long live Tarja.
I wonder if they understand that with TARJA they were amazing,now they are just like any other band with nothing special to make them the best. Tarja is still amazing without them:)
Tarja Turunen WAS/IS/WILL the soul of Nightwish. Thanks for your voice.
Patrik Janeček ❤
"Friends " are like clouds... They pass us one after the other.. No one stays with us forever... Some love us for a moment of time... Some uses us... Some hate us when their hearts become harder... Well... this is not the end.. And Tarja, I wish you all the best for your future.... God bless you.
GOOD BUY; TARJA I WILL MISS YOU AND YOUR VOICE SO MUCH. YOUR VOICE WENT STRAIGHT INTO MY HEART;THANKS SO MUCH:::
velmi pěkné pisně a hlavně upřimné děkuji NIGHTWISH
Naprosto souhlasím a Tarja úžasná zpěvačka :) Nightwish já mám nejraději :)

Everything what is beautiful don't last forever! Nightwish is stop to exsist for me when Tarja is gone from bend. They was the best conbination ever. They will stay in my most beautiful memories!
Thank you Nightwish for all most beautiful songs!
so ... I miss her very much when it comes to working with nightwish ... I have 12 years and I understand the music ... I do not know why, but it really touched me nightwish ... For example, when I listen to'' Sleeping sun "is somehow refrain from crying, but when it comes to the" Phantom of the Opera "is roaring all the day ... I'm a fan of Tarja and keep her fingers crossed, but I think that it would be better if it were to nightwish ... Love from Marynia

И всё у неё супер, чего не могу сказать о nightwish.
MegaHELL87-Лучше бы не улетала.((((((((((((((((
Как и Ария без Кипелова уже не то. Так же и Nightwish без Тарьи например мне уже не доставляет прежнее удовольствие слушать.
But Tarja is our star forever and it don't depend about she is with or without Nightwish. She is my Goddess (yeah with big G) at the music

The day Nightwish became "Just another band" to me.

luckily, otherwise I wouldn't have stared listening to Nightwish again...
You are unique tarja!
Лично мне её и концертов в её исполнении очень не хватает.
не нравится ее сольный материал?
Its a pity...
Tarja, head up !!!
Tarja je nenahraditelná
Mein allergrößter Traum wäre eine Wiedervereinigung von Nightwish in der Form mit Tarja.
A) Tuomas told her not to. When they had a song, they recorded it and sent it (CD or cassette) to her house so she can do the vocals and then record it in studio. Actually they sent it by mail or e-mail. They never went to her house.
Mindig is ő lesz a kedvencem :'(

We already know how badly you were damaged by all this. Maybe you should sue somebody.
Так - Найтвіжа без Тарії не може бути......
HammerFall music on the "Leaving Tarja" video. haha Epic XD
TARJA SZACUNECZEK, SZACUNECZEK, I JESZCZE RAZ SZACUNECZEK

You're absolutely right XD
nooio yo quiero que tarja vuelva siii que vuelva
:( TARJAAA GET BACK PLEASE
TARJA is Nightwish ......:'(
In my opinion Nightwish is for Tarja no matter how many singers they've bring in it will never be same with Tarja, present Nightwish is so much boring I only listening to Tarja era's
i think it was tarja that gave nightwish that spark that kept people listning to them
there nothing without him
How can you miss her if she's still alive O o' as far as I know she didn't end up her career either.
you're the angel of my music.. (//_~) we will miss u..
Sure but the new stuff is also awesome and they got a whole lot of new fans as well. I'm glad they've left behind most of the old songs. Those are for Tarja. The new ones for Anette and Marco rock too. If you like celtic heavy stuff it's impossible you won't like the new NW.
always will be-hammerfall
