In my humble opinion , I think Nightwish went with Anette in 2007 because of all those years of Tarja n the operetic sound , they wanted to go in a different direction with Anettte , when Tarja was fired , Thomas knew of Floor because the band Floor was in After Forever n Nightwish were in many festivals togther , but Thomas didn`t want to ask Floor n mess up After forever , but in 2012 when they needed a replacment vocalist to complete the tour , the phone call was made , best move they ever did n as they say the rest is History .
I like the energy and drama in Floor's performance, but you hear extra instrumental layers in the studio version. Which isnt to say the more pared down live version is worse (it works also) I just like both in differemt ways.
If I would never have heard the version with Floor I would say: Yes, really nice, I like it. But compared to Floor Anettes voice - although sounding very good - is rather weak. Now I understand why Marko said when Floor became a member of Nightwish that he now can use his voice with full power. Obviously he had to hold back when singing together with Anette.
The two versions are very different but I enjoyed both.

I liked the version from Hamburg, Germany in March.2012 more than the studio version.
