i just listened to the original walking in the air and its great and for this, i like how they try to revive the song, Tarja did a great job also her band.. Tarja 4ever
This is not Nightwish song orginally. NW made beautiful version of it with Tarja. I would say NW version is famous due to Tarja's voice. BTW, I also like NW music very much, also newer production with Anette and Floor. "Walking in the Air" is a song written by Howard Blake for the 1982 animated film of Raymond Briggs' 1978 children's book The Snowman.
TeamGrell2013 She is the original! NW is just a band what you can change, it's a band like trees in the forrest, nothing more. I don't understand the overhype. NW was great with Tuomas AND Tarja, now is it over, but Tarja is the voice who lives and a special arranged song like this, like the most of the others, are original with the voice, not with tbe band.
Ehm, when did he say that? According to an intervju i saw her on TH-cam, they said " We are not become popish, just a bit more easy-listening" Don't know the excact words, but it was somethi'n like that...
Without Tarja ,nightwish wouldn't be what it become! He just decided to make metal music this kind because of tarjas voice! he said that nightwish had become a pop band too
I totally agree with you. I share your point of view, of course, but... sorry bout my ignorance, what you mean saying "DPP"? NW = nightwish jeje.. I think my english is quite good but I write to you from Barcelona and my mother tongue is catalan! thanks
Aw, I like this version :) Its pure power. I equally like Anette's version of the song though; innocent and sweet :) Oh, and by the way. I did not puke nor get sick, after I saw the video of her singing it :-D
thats all true.. but i think it has alot to do with the image change during the transition... with tarja they were just MASSIVE in most of europe than the uk, now with annette they seem more commercial and.. popular within the UK...
Now Nightwish reap what they sow. That not means that now they are musicaly better than in 2004. But in mine opinion Nightwish as reached the commercial zenith. I think the best Nightwish was between 1998 till 2003. unfortunately I saw the Band only once with Tarja. But now I gonna see Tarja solo anytime when its possible. :-) And I love she plays the old stuff of the album Oceanborn.
nooo you didnt unterstand! he said that they choosed to make metal because of tarjas voice! metal& opera! he said nightwish could have get a pop band! 12 years ago
Tarja is the best thing could EVER happen to Nightwish, but..... Nightwish = Tuomas Holopainen, so.... Tarja is the best thin could ever happen to tuomas... I wish luck for both, and I will wait for a meeting in the future...Regards from mexico.
xD I know who they're, Tarja and Nightwish, but this band is not Nightwish o_O Who is that drummer, and the guitarrist and the bassist ? And who is THAT woman on keyboards ???
Well, i don't think that Tarja'd make such concerts if there would be a serious copyright problem. But as a matter of facts Tarja gave Tuomas many reasons to fire her. I also think, that Nightwish is at it's end without Tarja, but - well, be it as it is. Every band, doesn't matter how superb, will come to an end.
@dieseldog00 I agree, Tarja is amazing, but with the band that is backing her now, she isn't going to get far except with the current fan boys and girls she has now.
@MegaWishmasterMario First: Walking in the air isn't Nightwish's song, they just covered it Second: Tarja is the only person who can sing old Era's song in the way how it should to be sing I don't know what with you guy, if you like Anette's country version of for example Dark Chest of Wonders (Anette is good singer but the way how she sings some songs from Tarja's Era is horrible) so go there and listen and let other people listen the beautiful song with beautiful woman singing it.
OH :( The beggining was not really good it is better when it begins slower... I like the Nightwish version more, but Tarja rocks anyway and the surroundings are good also :)
well maybe they arent rock/metal-opera no more, but obviously they havent became pop-rock -.- they still are in the genres symphonic and power metal. C'mon, ok that anette doesnt sing like tarja but the girl can sing some old songs very well! not with the soprano voice that we were used to but we cant do nothing about that. Then again, her voice is getting better. Just go to a live show and you will see/listen. sorry for the probably bad english :\
No I don't expect them to play the original, it just doesn't sound right the way this is being played. That is my opinion. You may have a different one, thought I was just stating mine.
you can tell what ever you want, but this song will never sound like from wishes to eternity with nightwish, and all song she sings from before.... it just isnt that......
If anyone here wants to get sick and puke, go check out Anette trying to sing this song at Hartwell arena just a few days ago, Sept 19, 2009. My God Almighty, I've heard Anette butcher some songs, but that one has got to be one of the worst hack jobs I've heard her do.
Ofcourse this song doesn't sound the same as with Nightwish, duuhh, it's a different band. Besides, have you heard all the old Nightwish song being raped by Anette? Don't get me wrong, she's a great singer. Just not meant to sing the songs that were solely meant for Tarja's voice. I think Tarja is doing an amazing job with her solo-career, much more focused on her voice aswell and she seems happy! Be glad for her!
Nightwish is absolutely not the same great band anymore as it used to be with Tarja. Sadly I must express that Anette is just an dozenware singer. I'm sad that I coudn't ever attend the live Nightwish concert.
I have never heard of this artist before... she is so talented and interesting. Gotta say tho, the operatic voice does NOT go well with a Bass Rock Guitar.
Yes she seems happy now, smiling and dancing around all the time :)
Damn I love her and that intepretation of Walking in the air is amazing. I really feel like I'm walking in the air.
love it! whatever you do tarja, you will always be the best singer in the world for me
my personal best song ever... tarja's voice is amazing
Good said DarkAngel!!!
this song makes me feel like really swimming in the Moonlight like the song says! its fantastic!
Go Tarja!!!
i just listened to the original walking in the air and its great
and for this, i like how they try to revive the song, Tarja did a great job also her band..
Tarja 4ever

No matter how this song was originally supposed to sound; it sounds great just because Tarja is singing it.

This is not Nightwish song orginally. NW made beautiful version of it with Tarja. I would say NW version is famous due to Tarja's voice. BTW, I also like NW music very much, also newer production with Anette and Floor.

Nightwish no es nada sin Tarja...Ella y Nightwish era la formula perfecta!...Forever Tarja...
that's a good question
I like it. its quite a different take on the song but i enjoy it : )
Tarja the ONLY one.
Tarja is singing: the milky way in raptures!
i actually prefer this version than nightwish original version
TeamGrell2013 She is the original! NW is just a band what you can change, it's a band like trees in the forrest, nothing more. I don't understand the overhype. NW was great with Tuomas AND Tarja, now is it over, but Tarja is the voice who lives and a special arranged song like this, like the most of the others, are original with the voice, not with tbe band.
do you expect the band to play the original walking in the air? hello!!!
You're very right.. This arrangement is missing that little something, u know
Ehm, when did he say that?
According to an intervju i saw her on TH-cam, they said " We are not become popish, just a bit more easy-listening" Don't know the excact words, but it was somethi'n like that...
Without Tarja ,nightwish wouldn't be what it become!
He just decided to make metal music this kind because of tarjas voice!
he said that nightwish had become a pop band too
I totally agree with you. I share your point of view, of course, but... sorry bout my ignorance, what you mean saying "DPP"? NW = nightwish jeje.. I think my english is quite good but I write to you from Barcelona and my mother tongue is catalan! thanks
my name is darja hers is tarja
@GothicBerryBella Why are people talking about that in the first place?
i like tarja in the nightwish version a thousand times better. emppu's solo is pure awesomeness :)
Aw, I like this version :) Its pure power. I equally like Anette's version of the song though; innocent and sweet :) Oh, and by the way. I did not puke nor get sick, after I saw the video of her singing it :-D
Cue the Tarja vs Annette arguments in 3...2...1...
This isn't a new band ;) It's just Tarja Turunen going solo, the musicians are there just because.
thats all true.. but i think it has alot to do with the image change during the transition... with tarja they were just MASSIVE in most of europe than the uk, now with annette they seem more commercial and.. popular within the UK...
Now Nightwish reap what they sow.
That not means that now they are musicaly better than in 2004. But in mine opinion Nightwish as reached the commercial zenith.
I think the best Nightwish was between 1998 till 2003. unfortunately I saw the Band only once with Tarja. But now I gonna see Tarja solo anytime when its possible. :-)
And I love she plays the old stuff of the album Oceanborn.
And she's only a few months older than me! too bad she's married, I'd so hit that. lol.
I actually like the whole Elmer Bernstein sound in this concert.
What is the name of the band ?
@Lauen111 I have said that myself. They are not the same with Anette.
wtf person xodian! go listen to her other stuff tarja forever!
long live tarja!
oh please dont even start taht. leave it be. Just enjoy this..
nooo you didnt unterstand! he said that they choosed to make metal because of tarjas voice! metal& opera!
he said nightwish could have get a pop band! 12 years ago
SHE is Nightwish, the guys should change the name of the band with Anette
I´m with you
I hate the spam ¬¬
Tarja is the best thing could EVER happen to Nightwish, but.....
Nightwish = Tuomas Holopainen, so....
Tarja is the best thin could ever happen to tuomas... I wish luck for both, and I will wait for a meeting in the future...Regards from mexico.
this song was originally a ballad get your facts nightwish remade it as metal which was cool but it is not a mistake to do the tradional style
18 people are Anette fans...
xD
I know who they're, Tarja and Nightwish, but this band is not Nightwish o_O
Who is that drummer, and the guitarrist and the bassist ?
And who is THAT woman on keyboards ???
@moclis, fuck, u said all i wanted to say :D
Well, i don't think that Tarja'd make such concerts if there would be a serious copyright problem.
But as a matter of facts Tarja gave Tuomas many reasons to fire her.
I also think, that Nightwish is at it's end without Tarja, but - well, be it as it is. Every band, doesn't matter how superb, will come to an end.
Haha no more Emppu , no more solo XD
@dieseldog00
I agree, Tarja is amazing, but with the band that is backing her now, she isn't going to get far except with the current fan boys and girls she has now.
yes DarkAngel but those are just Trolls who want to annoy, they must be hellish bored in their life
I hate her but she's one of the best singers out there.
tarja please marry me!
@MegaWishmasterMario First: Walking in the air isn't Nightwish's song, they just covered it
Second: Tarja is the only person who can sing old Era's song in the way how it should to be sing

Tarja is great. But this was Tuomas' song T.T
OH :( The beggining was not really good it is better when it begins slower... I like the Nightwish version more, but Tarja rocks anyway and the surroundings are good also :)
Oh my goodness! The song just does not sound right like this.
oh the comment goes doubled. sorry :(
well maybe they arent rock/metal-opera no more, but obviously they havent became pop-rock -.- they still are in the genres symphonic and power metal. C'mon, ok that anette doesnt sing like tarja but the girl can sing some old songs very well! not with the soprano voice that we were used to but we cant do nothing about that.

The crowd look like zombies!!
If anyone here wants to get sick and puke, go check out Anette trying to sing this song at Hartwell arena just a few days ago, Sept 19, 2009.
My God Almighty, I've heard Anette butcher some songs, but that one has got to be one of the worst hack jobs I've heard her do.
I dont like the version at all...but she sings great...and after all is what it counts...
yea thats bad no more emppu , and i think theat tarjas new gutarist is destroying solos , look at nemo solo , :P
Because one has to watch comments when listening to music. Gtfo please
Bort!! Te has cargado la canción...
Ofcourse this song doesn't sound the same as with Nightwish, duuhh, it's a different band.

I have never heard of this artist before... she is so talented and interesting.
Gotta say tho, the operatic voice does NOT go well with a Bass Rock Guitar.
Tarja is great as usual but the band behind her is missing something; the passion of Nightwish. Good sound yes but no passion.
Qu'est ce que c'est que cette soupe? Mou et sans saveur, houlala chu déçue de comment ils ont tourné la chanson... :/
i dont like this version as much.
This is NOT the way this song was EVER intended to be performed...
Blasphemous.
