Anette will always be a part of the Nightwish magic. I appreciate her, I really like Imaginaerum and Dark Passion Play. For me, there is simply no point to compare between band members. I look at Nightwish as one entity and grateful for all the magic they have shared.
I could not agree more. It shoulden't even be legal to compare band members. They all have had their share of history with Nightwish. It doesn't matter which posision they have in the band. Sami/Marko. Tarja/Anette/Floor. Jukka/Kai. They are all amazing musicians and entertainers and should be treated in that way.
Hi, I agree with you both. Tanja is still bullied by a major part of the fans and yes, the past incidents weren't nice at all but so long ago and - as ABBA sang: Breaking up is never easy - . As much as I adore FLOOR: NIGHTWISH would probably not existed without Tarja (her voice is😁). Poor Annette was a stopgab. Her voice is also great but didn't fit in . And then (finally [?]) FLOOR! It's evolution. The 3 ladies: ... forms most beautiful, just like us!!! 😘 Greetings from Germany 🤗
@@alexandrabarrenbrugge4585 well said. Anette is amazing on her studio albums with Nightwish. But she struggled a bit live. Especially during all "Tarja songs." But I would never take away anything from her. My heart beets equally to all three of these lovely ladies
Anette, thank you again for your Nightwish great achievements. Slow Love Slow, Eva, Turn loose the Mermaids, The Crow the Owl and the Dove, Storytime, and so on. These are your songs done with your touch and capabilities, your smooth and sooth approach.
Her authentic songs are also the part of my childhood memories. She is not a bad singer. Just people love to bring into conflicts and compare her to others two
@@Rustyvoil27 Anette tinha uma voz mais pop, só isso. Ela não era ruim, mas obviamente não tinha treinamento pra cantar músicas líricas como a Tarja. As músicas compostas pra Anette, pra mim, só ficam boas na voz dela. Essa é minha opinião em relação a todas as músicas, aliás, o Toumas soube aproveitar a voz de cada uma ao máximo. Infelizmente, o Toumas é a mente por trás da banda, mas é péssimo lidando com pessoas. Acho péssimo a forma como ele tratou tanto Tarja quanto Anette, se todos se dessem bem, imagina uma turnê em comemoração a banda com as 3 vocalistas? Seria mágico! Mas acho que o maior empecilho ali é o Toumas mesmo. 😢
Anette seems to me to be a nice friendly woman who patiently answers all those annoying , boring questions from the past. Good luck with your solo career Anette. And if you're ever in the Netherlands I'll come and listen.
Could have been coincidence but when Annette left the band they definitely changed styles. Maybe it all happened for a reason but in my mind they don’t have that magical vibe they did since imaginerum and on previous albums. The science and space stuff is cool but it’s not the magical nightwish we all used to know 😞 wish they would go back to the nostalgic vibe they used to have .
I watched the Gathering's 25th anniversary show last night, on You Tube, with all 4 of their vocalists on stage singing together at the show - it is a shame that we will never have this happen with Nightwish - what an iconic show that would be!
@@annev6895 perhaps if that meetup to clear the air with Anette would have happened, she would have been there. As for Tarja, her husband would be the biggest obstacle to that. He hates nightwish and especially Tuomas to his very core.
I have been following the band for a about a year and 1/2. I have enjoyed all 3 singers, there are songs I enjoy with Tarja and some with Annette. I am sad I will not get to see Marko play with them live, but there is hope maybe. As for the bullies online, they are the ones with issues, not the individual ladies as they are all fantastic in their own way. How dull the world would be if we were all the same. Celebrate the differences!
Thank you for this. I always liked every member of Nightwish during their time in Nightwish. Each one of Them is unique and good. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘💪🇳🇱🌷🤗
Glad u cherish all of the members. Although I am not a fan of her in NW, people trashed her like she was a criminals back in the day. I feel bad for her. she did work hard in NW and she had significant improvement on singing during imaginarum tour.
@@despairingleonardo Yes, I know a lot of people did that. I knew that Annette couldn't sing/perform certain songs that were written for Tarja. Also a lot of people never gave her a real chance due to Nightwish and Tarja's history. (The breaking up) Eventough during Annettte's time they had international hits. I'm happy for Annette is doing alright now. Tarja and Floor are friends. Tarja had a hit together with Within Temptation. Also a very good song and good band. Sharon den Adel and Floor are friends too. In the past Sharon den Adel sang a song with Floor in After Forever. Also a great song. Thank you for your honest andere/reaction. Take care. 🍀💪🇳🇱😊
Each woman that sang for NW were great in their own way, I took to tuomas being capable of writing the songs for each singer...aka Metal Mozart. Great and wonderful job!
Well said Anette. I really like the two Anette albums and some of studio tracks still stand up well. I hope everybody works things out and moves on the way Nightwish have with Tarja. Unfortunately a small number of fans of all the singers can't accept the others but I do believe the fan base is better than many others in that regard with a very small group of exceptions.
I feel horrible what "we' put her through. I did get into NW during Tarja's era, but I also stopped listening to them durring Tarja's era as well. Anette is the one who brought me back to NW, and for that I will always thank and appreciate her. She was thrown into a horrible position. I bet if Tarja, was to record Amaranth, Storytime, Slow Love Slow people would think she is doing a horrible job. We love you Anette!!!!!
She did not deserve all this negativity towards her. What a beautiful classy wel spoken woman. She got bullied by the media and Nightwish fans. People are sometimes so negative. I feel for this woman.
This is freaking sad how Nightiwsh guys deal with split ups. Same thing with Tarja, same thing with Annette. Time passes, and there is still drama, still unresolved conflicts, still no direct conversation to clear the situation. Tuomas mihght me music genius, but as a person this dude seems to have serious interpersonal issues.
Finnish way doing things. When it is over, it really is and there is no turning back. There are no unresolved conflicts - she got fired and it resolved things. This is world tour band with over 50 staff members with them, not some high school drama. "On a two-year world tour, Hietala realized that working with Olzon would hardly take very long. - Here was another person who always demanded more and more only because she wanted to demand."
The only "drama" and "conflict" is in your own head. When you leave a job.... MOVE ON. A giant business, former employers, etc.. aren't even thinking of you at all. It's OVER.
'Amaranth' with Anette brought me to Nightwish. I checked out the era with Tarja afterwards. So, without her I wouldn't have been curious to dig deeper.
In this interview she is still full of hope, her solo album has just been released. Today she works full time as a nurse and the music is on the side. There are no more interviews and in the short news she is always the ex-Nightwish singer. For Tuomas and the others there is no need for contact and by accident it does not result. Floor could visit her, she lives in Sweden like Anette. But why?
Maybe it's because I only more recently in the later Floor era became an actual fan of Nightwish's music (though I had heard them before, even live) that I never really got into the "rivalry" in regards to the leading lady. And let's be real here, clearly the best lead of the three was always - Marko ;-) I have my favorite songs from all eras of Nightwish: Wish I Had An Angel, Ghost Love Score, Amaranth, The Islander, Story Time, Greatest Show on Earth, ...
The album was excellent though wasn't a commercial success. She really came back with her band The Dark Element which was a collaboration with Jani a brilliant Finnish guitarist and song writer. The two albums they've made so far are excellent and her new solo album is great to.
I thought she could be in touch with at least Tuomas when it comes to business, she was part of the band for quite some time and earned money from their albums together, just like Tarja is, not in a personal level, but a professional one
When you discover a new group that was totally unknown to you and love everyone of it, just do see that many of them have left, I believe also Marco is not of it anymore. Floor is amazing not less than Anette but I doubt I will go to one of their concert without Marco.
Why was she asked to leave the band though? Wikipedia says it was her personal traits that didn't quite suit the music industry? what traits did they mean exactly?
They fired her because she was miserable throughout the last tour complaining that she wanted to be with her son. The pregnancy was the last straw. They were in the midst of a world tour that she would not be able to reliably continue. Nightwish is an industry, one that numerous people depend on to provide for their families. Cancellations of all the remaining shows would have put them out of work and cost the band an enormous amount of money. It’s a shame but she made that choice, it was irresponsible and selfish and it had repercussions.
@@judyadams8296 sure i Know. I didnt wait from Them to cancel they worldtour. I just think its wrong. They could fire her when she gaves birth and could still Tour with floor. To get fired in apregncy is actually not legal. They could fire her when she gave birth For the health of the child if they dont ccare about anette
@@adriaDythea Good Point actually . This was actually the reason by tarja because she wanted doing a solo LP. But i think the most dominant Person in the Group already left. Floor seems pretty strong against those dudes
Imaginaerum easily fits NW's entire discography in his pocket. Floor is an excellent singer, but the albums recorded with her are very bad and when she tries to sing the songs recorded by Anette, it really doesn't sound good. Songs recorded by Anette can only be sung by Anette.
@@feridedogan7653 In the documentary (please learn the setlist in 48 hours) it was said that they had some personal issues between Anette and the other band members, which was the reason that Anette got fired.
@@night_ethereal then it was the 2 one. Idk what the issue was . But NW has actually with alot of people issues. Its weird that tuomas left too . I think the guys are the divas 😄😂

NW Actually had anniversary-show some years ago. All old members had open invitation to come and perform in that show. Tarja and Anette didn't attend.

The two albums she did with them are so good.
New fans here but I think she got some awesome songs
She was very good with Nigthwish we just had that obsesión with Tarja but am sure I will like her album she is actually a very good singer
The album was excellent though wasn't a commercial success. She really came back with her band The Dark Element which was a collaboration with Jani a brilliant Finnish guitarist and song writer. The two albums they've made so far are excellent and her new solo album is great to.
Certainly can’t fault her attitude to what happened in the past!
I thought she could be in touch with at least Tuomas when it comes to business, she was part of the band for quite some time and earned money from their albums together, just like Tarja is, not in a personal level, but a professional one
Managers and attorneys would probably handle that conversation to where Anette & NW wouldn’t have to meet face-to-face.
I like her!
When you discover a new group that was totally unknown to you and love everyone of it, just do see that many of them have left, I believe also Marco is not of it anymore. Floor is amazing not less than Anette but I doubt I will go to one of their concert without Marco.
weren’t both accused of being divas how true is it really
It's REALLY TARJA, who Tuomas and all of the Nightwish band, who her a big apology and an explanation and more!
its 17 years get over it
Why was she asked to leave the band though? Wikipedia says it was her personal traits that didn't quite suit the music industry? what traits did they mean exactly?
evidently you had nothing to say to each other.
So cruel not to invite her fo the 20th anniversary!
For all those hate against Anette .she is pretty nice . They fired her because she was pregnant .this is disrespectful.

Lol she sure does like to act like an injured victim and she sure never was that
Tuomas is an child. Don't expect any maturity from him.

You turn against them ....and u have no right to speak😒 be a human being(when u have nothing more to offer)
of course they wouldn't want to talk to her, she raised one hell of a campaign against them at the time
Well they kicked her out because she was pregnant . This is not allowed actually .
