    It's been a month already, didn't find the time to watch the interview completely. I can only say that this is one of the best Tarja interview's in a long time I've seen - finally an interviewer not always asking the same boring questions - good work! ❤

    I ' ll bet she must have had a very good musicteacher by herself. But I really don't know....why this has been at. Karlsruhe. 🤷‍♀️ I mean how does she hous found her way to germany ???? I think she don't speak very much german. But I know that her english is pretty good and is although able to speak spain and finnish is her mothertongue / native language ❤️🙌 . But maybe she has had some Friends at germany....but where does her narratives are from ??? How is she able to speak 4 languages nearly fluenty. ...She must have an awsome capaticity / Kapazität. ....I could not Imagine...even to speak only one language fluenty. My problem is....I really can'not stay with only one word....or lange ...they always so cross each other.

    This oe and Spirits and Ghosts makes me think of Christmas in another era. The old carols are not commercial jingles. I remember the old Latin Carols. Reminders of another time and place. Not knowing the meaning of the lyrics made me rely on the melodies.

    Christmas music was destroyed for me when I started working retail, I always loved it before. Tarjas version of the songs brought back the joy. Leaving the mall and all the commercialised songs during my december shifts and get on the bike and put in her and Enyas and Blackmore's Nights and Loreena McKennits songs directly afterwards was soulsaving. After leaving retail I still don't listen to the commercial songs. I've not listened to this album yet, other than her own track and two other songs. I'm waiting for December.

    Awesome interview!
    Tarja saying what we were all thinking, yeah, the original Christmas songs suck. Not because they are bad, but their overplaying in all sorts of commercial situations turns them into the perfect display of all that is wrong with Christmas. Knowing that Tarja picked the songs, even if she does not enjoy them, to transform them into something beautiful, really shows how determined she is. How ingenious. She could have easily made an orchestral album with some chanting, and everyone would be singing her praise.
    However, this is much more challenging, we all know that is Tarja's middle name.
    I also take my hat off to her and how she is so candid about the way her story with Nw ended. It will always be something that will follow her around. She flat out says she was “destroyed mentally”. She did not know if people would show up to see her. It still blows my mind, the whole clusterfuck she was thrown into.
    Regardless, for as much shock and disgust the firing caused, I cannot imagine Tarja still being with them, or any other band for that matter. I simply cannot. Knowing Tarja today, having been to her concerts and knowing her music, she is not that kind of person any more. Not just because they've changed, and she changed, but because she is just so much more than an interpreter, so much more. Her music is genuinely good music, well composed, complex, passionate, she has developed immensely as a singer as well. It gets to a point that you need to spread your wings, just shameful that she had to be shot down first.

    was lost for me at the age of 24 when my Mother passed away, I enjoyed Christmas watching my 2 Sons but they have long grown up. This album and "From spirits and Ghosts" touched my soul and I completely connect with them.

    Also, my favourite Christmas song has always, since I was a little kid, been Varpunen Jouluaamuna.
