Divina , maravillosa, extraordinaria, bella y talentosa, esos son unos de los pcos adjetivos para tarja, parece que recupero su voz que habia decaido en el disco Once, pero aqui se le vee mas fuerte, mas colerica, mas real, pudrete Nightwish, sin Tarja son musica de Emos
I personally enjoy both versions of this. One this, with her brother, and with Nightwish. They have different sounds, agreed but she is beautiful in both.
You know I love Nightwish and all, but I justl ove this song in general. Ithink Tarja did fine. I wouldn't say she's losing her voice at all, it's a different style MUSIC than we're used to with Nightwish. I love both versions.
I'd love to see her perform this with a male singer who had a bit more power in his voice - this poor guy is all but drowned out by her and the heavy instruments.
Are you kidding? Her voice is amazing and barly gets effected by stage fright which proves she is truly experianced. She is very good at staying on pitch even when she sings pedle notes. Her voice is more than technique; im a composer and the notes blend so well with the rhythm; the new stuff she created are true master pieces if you listen closly or actually think about how they go together. Lyrics shouldnt make the song; rhythm and blending should. And how the heck does she not have quality??
Toumas wondered what compelled him to keep singing in the face of his own embarrassment. But sang another song, with many more in mind, if the audiance would not bore of him. It's not Gonna Be Me oh, no
You wanted a solo career, babe That is no lie You waved at us as we passed you by I remember I told you, in lyrics I believed you cared, No man to cry Maybe that's why, every little thing I do Never was enough for you You don't wanna sing it again Because your not like them
"A solo career and sculpted vows, cold and monumental, seem, for you, the wrong companions -your voice was warm and gentle. . .Too many years fighting back tears. . .Why can't the past just die . . .? Wishing you were singing here again. . .knowing I must say goodbye. . .Try to forgive . . .teach me to write music again...give me the strength to try...No more words, no more silent longing...No more gazing across the wasted years...Help me say goodbye..."
Your welcome and thank you. Toumas came back on stage for one more duet, when from behind the curtain he heard cheers beckoning him to return. "You were once my one companion . . . you were all that mattered . . .You were once a friend, my music -then my world was shattered ..." He sang to Tarja. "Wishing you were singing here again . . .wishing you were somehow near . . .Sometimes it seemed if I just wrote music, you would be here . . ."
Tarja: In songs he wrote for me In his dreams I came That voice calls his name and sings his songs And do I dream again for now I find The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my career Tumus: Sing once again my songs This strange duet your power over me grows dimmer yet And though you turned from me to glance ahead The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your fans!
(continues) an opera singer. Actually, she sang opera arias and/or extracts several times and it's all available here on the net, not something kept secret to anyone. ;) If she only sang opera or everything IN OPERA STYLE, people would complain about that and vice versa. But please, at least try to be well informed. And of course enjoy her songs, nightwish's songs, sympho metal songs, opera arias and all the other stuff you want! ;) ;)
i reply in english 'cuz it takes me less time ;) being a nightwish, tarja, symphonic metal and opera fan i'm really tired of all this confused misunderstood talk. NOTHING personal attached, be it clear. Have people ever read a serious tarja-bio? Or something about opera music? I guess no. She studied classical and church music in Finland, then went to Germany (century child-time) to SPECIALIZE IN OPERA. The mere fact that this or that song isn't an opera aria DOESN'T mean she isn't (continues)
I'm no stranger to Opera being a music major myself, dating an opera major, and I have an aunt who sang for the Met who crammed opera down my throat (figuratively speaking of course :) ) and I dare say *most* people who are truly devoted to opera would be rather insulted to have Phantom called opera. It's just not. No disrespect intended of course but just because it's got some idioms and themes from opera in there, doesn't make it opera. The same with the other styles you mentioned.
Just like someone said, this is an interesting change (not good, not bad). Marco's voice is really strong, but Tarja's brother sings higher notes, what makes his singing a really different thing. In this performance, he got shadowed by Tarja, indeed, but I know that he's going to improve his skills. Did anyone notice the mad drummer? He rocked so hard in this music!! I was like "holy s***, who the hell is this guy?! O.O"
can you people have a little respect, this is her brother singing with her live and honestly i would say he did an amazing job, yeah he's no marco but give him credit where credit is due, he was good and tarja did amazing, except for the last not, it was flat :/ but no one's perfect cut him some slack, its not like they can just bring marco along for one song, he's with nightwish with annette >.> and Tarja is alone on her own and doing an amazing job if i do say so myself :) i love you tarja!
Understand that Tarja can't sing this song with Marco anymore. Every time she sang it, there will be another guy with her. So it's not fair to compare Toni and Marco, because they sing in different ways. I liked Toni and it's nice to see brother and sister singing together. So please stop the discussion of who is better!
@mim1800 come on...i dont like new nw too but dont say that he hasnt tallent...his voice is awsome,he also plays very good bass..lets face it,phantom of the opera with marco was just perfect..the fact that tarja left(or kicked) from nw and replace her that pop singer,doesnt make marco less tallent..sr for my english..
Tarja: Those who have heard Anette's voice Draw back in fear I am the mask you wear Tumous: It's you they want to hear. Your/My music and your/my voice in one combined The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my/your career! I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne...Blech." Tumous ran off stage before the fans booed him to the moon and back.
One might argue then, Achird, that Nightwish should never have done this song in the first place, out of respect for Andrew Lloyd Webber. Why shouldn't she be able to sing Phantom of the Opera while every high school student stateside gets to? It's still good and they don't own rights to it. Breakups happen and life goes on, no sense in being bitter about it.
I think that her brother chose to sing it more similar to the original (have you ever heard it?i always found that man absolutely unfitting for such a character).About Terrana, maybe ZarekFinland meant to say that he's a great drummer anyway, having played a lot and in many bands.Actually, he's considered a very good player, as far as metal drummers are concerned.
Dioss la mejor version d sta cancion pra mi es la d nightwish, end of an era.. definitivament gracias a Dios hicieron DVD y nos quedará en el recuerdo, esa es mi version favorita entre todas las presentaciones d nightwish con esa song.. sta version stá bna pro bueh.. sin animos d ofender, no se xq dicen q ahora canta mejor, digo ella siempre ha cantado espectacular pro en este video se pierde un poquito, no me gusta el toque que le da su brother a la cancion pero si ella es feliz ps bien :>
She is a good singer,but never become ""all of nightwish"". Nightwish is a group,not belong to only one. Maybe her leaving cause nightwish to change style, but nightwish is still nightwish. and Tarja is still Tarja. One day everyone will get old, but we still we :)
I am unsure as to which guy I like better as to the voice in this song. Marcos was awesome, but I feel that his pairs up with Tarja's voice better. This song was the song that turned me on to Night wish in the beginning. Although I still think they are good now =)
I believe this song and Toni's voice are not made to be togheter... He' voice it's too high, too Cute... This song needs power, strenght, but most importantly it needs wilderness... C'mon, I mean, the phantom it's insane, I need to see that insanity on stage...
THank you so much. For the second song, I re-worded Wishing you were hear again from phantom of the opera, and the second was a play on It's gonna be me by N'Sync. But yes, I am a write and I have delved into poetry. My Toumas songs keep disappearing on here....
I agree, but I think another part of it is she's sadly getting older. I hate the fact that as divas age, they begin to lose their voices. I can also understand why Nightwish fired her, even if it does make me so sad - she was an amazing presence in the band and I miss hearing her voice in the new CD.
Phantom of the Opera is not opera. It's a Musical set in the musical idiom of opera around a story based on opera. Phantom of the Opera is to Opera as Taco Bell is to real mexican food. It's a great story, and a great piece of musical theater, but not opera.
Marco's voice is the Phantom of the Opera's voice...not Toni Turunen's one!And where are Emppu's guitar,Jukka's drums,Tuomas's keyboards?I understand that Tarja's fans are also Nightwish's fans,and they want Tarja to sing Nightwish covers...but this is terrible...and gllomy...:'(
Ok, Nightwish isn't the same anymore without Tarja but I still like them most of the most! And I personally think, she probably was down for it long time that she was "fired" but, she looks happy with her solo career. I mean a solo career was kind of what she wanted so...
nightwish realy is better but this isnt bad at all they shouldnt do old nightwish songs anymore as tarja is no longer in nightwish and anette is nowhere near as good at this kind of song marco hietala is alot better then toni though... nightwish forever!!!!!!!!!!
She didn't hit the E6, but thats a pretty fuckin high note to hit anyways, and she does have the vocal power to hit it. I'm glad to see shes still singing after the whole NW thing, She is by far one of the most talented singers out there today, such a powerful and magical voice.
Well I like this guy more than Marco, just because Marco's screaming is annoying. He's a good singer, but he should just keep his mouth shut when I'm listening. I don't think this guy is this special although he is a good singer, but at least he doesn't annoy me :)
Tarja does it so well, but come on: she can't continue doing Nightwishcovers. It makes her weak as a soloartist (it's called solo...). And even with this song, she has to do it like Nightwish did. I wonder why. It gets on my nerves, she has a brain of her own and a really good voice but she's not independent from NW yet. Too bad.
La verdad, es que tarja se lo ha jugado a pulso... Estar con una buena banda(muy buena en mi opinión) y comportarse como una cría... A mi me gusta la voz de Tarja, pero al ver el buen royo que tenían todos en el escenario, el otro día en Lorca... La verdad, me alegro de que los componentes de Nightwish estén agusto con Anette ^^
@missdepp97 brucoshijada is correct. He's her brother. It's nice to have a family help out like that. Hes' helping his sister out, as he should. And he does not have a bad voice. Also concider he backs up guitar, keyboards and drums.
In the world today, how many brothers / sisters don't talk to each other or are estranged? How many people would like to have a brother or sister, but they are alone? It's beautiful and admirable when brothers do something together as Tarja and Toni.
Tarja when you give your love to someone-know you were right, it's not gonna be me You've made your choice, babe, just to move on, and I know, there is no going back. I'm just too blind to see that in the end, no never; it's not gonna be me
ok, if you said...you have reason cause i never read a "tarja-bio" just wikipedia..and wikipedia isn`t be a reliable encyclopedia...so thank you for the comment...:) you are very kind and sorry for the english..i hope you can understand me XD...
WTF?! This is worse than a high school play! These people sing professionaly? Her voice SUCKS!Somebody lied to them. It's actualy insulting to anyone who has heard/seen phantom performed live on or off broadway, she needs to cut that crap out.
:( this is sad... i love the nightwish version of the phantom of the opera, but this one... i don't know why but Tarja looks like she loss something... strenght, power... this version is weak, i miss Nightwish, the real one not the one with Annette
Makitu, everyone allways forget that Tarja was with Nightwish from its start to and this song is a cover from the opera musical called "The Phantom of the Opera" So its not "Nightwish" song, and no one can sing this song as Tarja does.
man, this is just a version from musicians, not from actors. they did not ruined anything, speak for you. it's obvious it wont be the same, we're talking about a metal band and a theater show. go tell useless comparations to your dog man.
With Nightwish it was called....let me remember..oh yes it was called Shymphonic Metal :"Combina las características propias de este género, como baterías y guitarras pesadas, con diferentes elementos de la música clásica como instrumentos pertenecientes a orquestas sinfónicas o voces líricas, es decir, los elementos que se tocan son similares a una sinfonía clásica." Por favor, tiene una voz lirica que combina con la opera, pero es claro que no es opera...
vamos anette no es mala no mamen ya basta de comparar es aburrido ademas esta cancion no es de nightwish es una cancion que cualquiera puede cantar sin problemas ya que la version de nightwish tambien era un cover y si no les gusta el "nuevo" nightwish no lo escuchen y que algo no les guste no les da el derecho de criticarlo y decir que tal o cual persona no sabe cantar o tiene mala voz para su informacion anette ya era vocalista de otros grupos viva tarja viva nightwish
Estoy de acuerdo en la quimica que el grupo tenia...pero algo en lo que no coincido y es con la "voz" de Anette...me parece que es PESIMA...cuando canta las canciones actuales del nuevo disco y las anteriores...la afinacion es la gran ausente en su voz...no le llega a las notas y los gritos y alaridos se escuchan MALISIMO...Tarja es una soprano excelente y sola ya ha Cosechado exitos...Nightwish lastimosamente va en declive con...esa!!!!,....VIVA TARJA!!!
Lo mismo digo. Esta mujer quiere tirar del éxito que obtuvo con Nightwish como pueda. No, desde luego no la echo de menos. Cuando vi Nightwish el otro día en el Lorca Rock no la eché en falta ni de lejos. Annete es muy muy buena, en otro registro vocal, pero es ciertamente brillante, y se nota que el buen rollo que lleva Nightwish en el escenario ahora no es comparable a la frialdad de los últimos tiempos con Tarja.
@ISeeAnIdiot There is no need to be insulting. I merely stated the opinion that I found her to be somewhat lacking in this format. It is an opinion, and you do not have to agree with it. Clearly I prefer her when she sings Tuomas' music, you clearly simply prefer her. To each their own.
well i like A LOT both this and the one with Marco...indeed marco doesn't fit as a phantom on the story but just as a song in my ears i like Marco's version a little more than that...don't forget also that it's a metal cover and metal bands tend to make them more evil and aggressive
I enjoy both nightwish and tarja. the upside is now having to really good band/musicians to listen to. She is an amazing vocalist. and I wish her and nightwish the best, and hope for many albums from both of them to come.
It's not that he can't sing, because he can, he's not a metal-voiced man for this song he's more "classical" sounding compared to Marco. That's your mistake you're comparing them. It's the new interpretation.
My god! Why are you so discussing about that???? Just let her sing in her concerts whatever she wants!! My god, how childish is that?? Doesn´t matter if she sang it with Nightwish before or whatever. It is her decision alone!
is tarja's brother...sadly he isn't marco hietala...the only one who can sing this song with tarja... the other day i was reading that tuomas said thar perhaps "anette surprise us with her own version of the phantom"
Yes the male singer is Tarja's brother Toni I love his voice. I am still a big fan of NW, but I really like the sound of Toni's voice here. It is more like the original, but still has a rock edge to it.
I think on the odd night she just finds it hard to hit high notes. Still a very good performance. I still think it would have been better if they professionally recorded the London performance - that was the best!
Is its just me, or did Nightwish just preform the orignal song with electric guitars..? I hear no diffrent except Marco can't sing the phantom part (And Tarja's brother is ofcourse even worse). This is all about Tarja (and A.L Webber)
Well, please don´t forget that a Tarja Concert ist Metal; so its in the 1st point a kind of entertainment. And the guy in this song is Tarja´s brother Tobi Turunen. No maniac sexual desire ;)
Although I still like the new Nightwish with Annette and the Solo CD´s of Tarja... I wish they would stop with their old songs. This is the best Example, Tarja and Marco were perfect for this Song...
i just realized now how tarja seems like a SIM. I'm talking about that game in wich you build a house and live virtually... I love her and her voice, but her dancing is the same of the SIMs
well it's a matter of tastes, i personally don't like Marco Hietala, his voice is strong but not good for this song. Toni Turunen sounds a lot more like steve harley in the original version.
Well, I'm a huge supporter of the Original stage prodution (NOT the movie), and I can honestly say that I rather enjoyed this version. It's unique, and is probably the best rock version of the song ever done.
Not so bad but that guy voice don't fit this kind of sing even lil'bit, he sing like a pop star, I prefer Nightwish version, Marco did a great job there. And the keyboard is bad too, Tuomas Rulez!!!!!!!!!!!
O MY GOSH! AMAZING!!! Now if only they had sung the song like that for the original version! I like this version MUCH better! Actually sounds like the original song! BRILLIANT!!!!!
@fgm1988 Well to me the best version will be for a long time the one of Nightwish with Tarja, There's something wrong with this one, I don't know what but still...
This guy might have more technique, but Marco has such an intense power within his voice that fit perfectly the Phantom's personality. Too bad Tarja left Nightwish...
Her not hitting the high note like usual here, has nothing to do with leaving Nightwish because in many new concerts she does. Or sometimes she hits it even better!
The drummer is Mike Terrana(Rage,Masterplan),and he's indeed very good. And someone said something about the "random guy"....actually that's her brother Toni Turunen.
:D Miss understood you, sorry. Just am tired of people complaining towards her, i mean what gives NW the right to say its their "song" it as much her in my toughts!
Tarja is awesom, im a big fan of nightwish and tarja. Tarja sings like angels but this song is not the same without the other nightwish members, i dont se magic here :P
Ahora entiendo porque voz de tenor es el hermano de tarja osea es la voz mas delgada del hombre el tenor , mientras que tarja es soprano la voz mas delgada de la mujer, prefiero la voz de tarja es mas potente
This is a question of preference, I like a lot of Tarja, but I prefer the Sarah Brightman, I think that orignals is always better. Both are great singers. A strong hug for you!!!
This is a question of preference, I like a lot of Tarja, but I prefer the Sarah Brightman, I think that orignals is always better. Both are great singers. A strong hug for you!!!
@MrMnM14 I think she is preforming a lot better live now. With nightwish her voice wasn;t to great live, but i must say i do miss the intro's that nightwish had
@ku0sh0al Ehh..... There is a difference between 'power' and yelling. I like Annete's voice on the album. It's decent, not powerful, but live she just yells.
I prefer this song with Marco, Tony sings very well, but I think this song sounds better whith Marco's voice, is stronger, with more energy, is...is different
the guy is good but not even close of the Tarja and Marco singing this song, but however is bether than reard this on the voice of the Annete what ruin the song!!
Her brother's voice reminds me of annette it pisses me off... she should find somebody with a more fitting voice for this song like marco's voice was fitting..
Marco's sooo much better than that random guy! Gosh... and Tarja is alright for this song... i think the song needs less vidrato, but other than that lovely.
Im going to a VIP-dinner with Tarja in Malmo 26May-08, hope 2 meet Toni then =) *hopeful* and then the consert the day after. 14 days left!!!!!! Millan69
WTF what a fucking gay I missed the version with the bassist from nightwish. That sounds much better and heavier. Her part is as always very good. Cheers to all
@ISeeAnIdiot A person can appreciate someone's songwriting without "thinking he is almighty". As I said, the great thing about an opinion is that we are all entitled to one.
@Feanor2345 Oh go away. What are you her partner? No!!! so don't get offended when other peoples opinions differ from your own you need to get out more!
@Feanor2345 Well i think Nightwish ruined this song anyway so i wouldn't want to hear a new version of it. Glad to know my opinion affects you so much.
@Feanor2345 Wow u met her so that means u know everything. I wouldn't want Nightwish to make a new version of this song because they already ruined it.
She sounds a little off to me. I like Sarah Brightman better, she hits the notes better and holds them longer. I like rock music, but not for this song.
Okey, i have to say i liked the music of nightwish better than this. And with precious Marco of course. But Tarja is still the same - amazing performance.
3:27 a 4:11 amo toda esa parte!!
perfecta!!
Divina , maravillosa, extraordinaria, bella y talentosa, esos son unos de los pcos adjetivos para tarja, parece que recupero su voz que habia decaido en el disco Once, pero aqui se le vee mas fuerte, mas colerica, mas real, pudrete Nightwish, sin Tarja son musica de Emos
Me encantaaa *-*
Tarja ♥ eres mi cantante favorita
una belleza la voz de ese hombre
i just got the chills when she said... "the phaaaantom of the opera is heree" she's such a great singer...
I personally enjoy both versions of this. One this, with her brother, and with Nightwish.
They have different sounds, agreed but she is beautiful in both.
I love this she's so amazing! She really is an angel of music ^^
And I think Toni is better than Marco for this song!
Her brother has a nice voice :) They go well together. She's so awesome :o
This male voice is better than that of Marco Hietala!
:)
Man.. everytime i see or hear Tarja.. I always thought of her as a Nightwish T_T
You know I love Nightwish and all, but I justl ove this song in general. Ithink Tarja did fine. I wouldn't say she's losing her voice at all, it's a different style MUSIC than we're used to with Nightwish. I love both versions.
I'd love to see her perform this with a male singer who had a bit more power in his voice - this poor guy is all but drowned out by her and the heavy instruments.
Tarja is always very good. But I Want hear she sing this duet with a TRUE MALE SINGER! (hear Howard McGillin, Hugh Panaro or others)
Are you kidding? Her voice is amazing and barly gets effected by stage fright which proves she is truly experianced. She is very good at staying on pitch even when she sings pedle notes. Her voice is more than technique; im a composer and the notes blend so well with the rhythm; the new stuff she created are true master pieces if you listen closly or actually think about how they go together. Lyrics shouldnt make the song; rhythm and blending should. And how the heck does she not have quality??
Toumas wondered what compelled him to keep singing in the face of his own embarrassment. But sang another song, with many more in mind, if the audiance would not bore of him.
It's not Gonna Be Me oh, no
You wanted a solo career, babe
That is no lie
You waved at us as we passed you by
I remember I told you, in lyrics I believed you cared,
No man to cry
Maybe that's why, every little thing I do
Never was enough for you
You don't wanna sing it again
Because your not like them
"A solo career and sculpted vows, cold and monumental, seem, for you, the wrong companions -your voice was warm and gentle. . .Too many years fighting back tears. . .Why can't the past just die . . .? Wishing you were singing here again. . .knowing I must say goodbye. . .Try to forgive . . .teach me to write music again...give me the strength to try...No more words, no more silent longing...No more gazing across
the wasted years...Help me say
goodbye..."
Your welcome and thank you.
Toumas came back on stage for one more duet, when from behind the curtain he heard cheers beckoning him to return.
"You were once my one companion . . .

be here . . ."
Tarja:
In songs he wrote for me
In his dreams I came
That voice calls his name and sings his songs
And do I dream again for now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my career
Tumus:
Sing once again my songs
This strange duet
your power over me grows dimmer yet
And though you turned from me to glance ahead The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your fans!

Yes, they´re perfect ;)

Marco's voice is the Phantom of the Opera's voice...not Toni Turunen's one!And where are Emppu's guitar,Jukka's drums,Tuomas's keyboards?I understand that Tarja's fans are also Nightwish's fans,and they want Tarja to sing Nightwish covers...but this is terrible...and gllomy...:'(
Ok, Nightwish isn't the same anymore without Tarja but I still like them most of the most! And I personally think, she probably was down for it long time that she was "fired" but, she looks happy with her solo career. I mean a solo career was kind of what she wanted so...
nightwish realy is better but this isnt bad at all
they shouldnt do old nightwish songs anymore
as tarja is no longer in nightwish and anette is nowhere near as good at this kind of song
marco hietala is alot better then toni though...
nightwish forever!!!!!!!!!!
She didn't hit the E6, but thats a pretty fuckin high note to hit anyways, and she does have the vocal power to hit it. I'm glad to see shes still singing after the whole NW thing, She is by far one of the most talented singers out there today, such a powerful and magical voice.
Well I like this guy more than Marco, just because Marco's screaming is annoying. He's a good singer, but he should just keep his mouth shut when I'm listening.
I don't think this guy is this special although he is a good singer, but at least he doesn't annoy me :)
Tarja does it so well, but come on: she can't continue doing Nightwishcovers. It makes her weak as a soloartist (it's called solo...). And even with this song, she has to do it like Nightwish did. I wonder why. It gets on my nerves, she has a brain of her own and a really good voice but she's not independent from NW yet. Too bad.
La verdad, es que tarja se lo ha jugado a pulso... Estar con una buena banda(muy buena en mi opinión) y comportarse como una cría... A mi me gusta la voz de Tarja, pero al ver el buen royo que tenían todos en el escenario, el otro día en Lorca... La verdad, me alegro de que los componentes de Nightwish estén agusto con Anette ^^
@missdepp97 brucoshijada is correct. He's her brother. It's nice to have a family help out like that. Hes' helping his sister out, as he should. And he does not have a bad voice. Also concider he backs up guitar, keyboards and drums.
In the world today, how many brothers / sisters don't talk to each other or are estranged? How many people would like to have a brother or sister, but they are alone? It's beautiful and admirable when brothers do something together as Tarja and Toni.
Tarja when you give your love to someone-know you were right, it's not gonna be me
You've made your choice, babe, just to move on, and I know, there is no going back. I'm just too blind to see that in the end, no never; it's not gonna be me
ok, if you said...you have reason cause i never read a "tarja-bio" just wikipedia..and wikipedia isn`t be a reliable encyclopedia...so thank you for the comment...:) you are very kind and sorry for the english..i hope you can understand me XD...
WTF?! This is worse than a high school play! These people sing professionaly? Her voice SUCKS!Somebody lied to them. It's actualy insulting to anyone who has heard/seen phantom performed live on or off broadway, she needs to cut that crap out.
:( this is sad... i love the nightwish version of the phantom of the opera, but this one... i don't know why but Tarja looks like she loss something... strenght, power... this version is weak, i miss Nightwish, the real one not the one with Annette
Makitu, everyone allways forget that Tarja was with Nightwish from its start to and this song is a cover from the opera musical called "The Phantom of the Opera"
So its not "Nightwish" song, and no one can sing this song as Tarja does.
man, this is just a version from musicians, not from actors. they did not ruined anything, speak for you.
it's obvious it wont be the same, we're talking about a metal band and a theater show.
go tell useless comparations to your dog man.
With Nightwish it was called....let me remember..oh yes it was called Shymphonic Metal :"Combina las características propias de este género, como baterías y guitarras pesadas, con diferentes elementos de la música clásica como instrumentos pertenecientes a orquestas sinfónicas o voces líricas, es decir, los elementos que se tocan son similares a una sinfonía clásica."
Por favor, tiene una voz lirica que combina con la opera, pero es claro que no es opera...
vamos anette no es mala no mamen ya basta de comparar es aburrido ademas esta cancion no es de nightwish es una cancion que cualquiera puede cantar sin problemas ya que la version de nightwish tambien era un cover y si no les gusta el "nuevo" nightwish no lo escuchen y que algo no les guste no les da el derecho de criticarlo y decir que tal o cual persona no sabe cantar o tiene mala voz para su informacion anette ya era vocalista de otros grupos viva tarja viva nightwish
Estoy de acuerdo en la quimica que el grupo tenia...pero algo en lo que no coincido y es con la "voz" de Anette...me parece que es PESIMA...cuando canta las canciones actuales del nuevo disco y las anteriores...la afinacion es la gran ausente en su voz...no le llega a las notas y los gritos y alaridos se escuchan MALISIMO...Tarja es una soprano excelente y sola ya ha Cosechado exitos...Nightwish lastimosamente va en declive con...esa!!!!,....VIVA TARJA!!!
Lo mismo digo. Esta mujer quiere tirar del éxito que obtuvo con Nightwish como pueda. No, desde luego no la echo de menos. Cuando vi Nightwish el otro día en el Lorca Rock no la eché en falta ni de lejos. Annete es muy muy buena, en otro registro vocal, pero es ciertamente brillante, y se nota que el buen rollo que lleva Nightwish en el escenario ahora no es comparable a la frialdad de los últimos tiempos con Tarja.
@ISeeAnIdiot There is no need to be insulting. I merely stated the opinion that I found her to be somewhat lacking in this format. It is an opinion, and you do not have to agree with it. Clearly I prefer her when she sings Tuomas' music, you clearly simply prefer her. To each their own.
well i like A LOT both this and the one with Marco...indeed marco doesn't fit as a phantom on the story but just as a song in my ears i like Marco's version a little more than that...don't forget also that it's a metal cover and metal bands tend to make them more evil and aggressive
she couldnt reach the right notes at the last moment
I enjoy both nightwish and tarja. the upside is now having to really good band/musicians to listen to. She is an amazing vocalist. and I wish her and nightwish the best, and hope for many albums from both of them to come.
It's not that he can't sing, because he can, he's not a metal-voiced man for this song he's more "classical" sounding compared to Marco. That's your mistake you're comparing them. It's the new interpretation.
My god! Why are you so discussing about that???? Just let her sing in her concerts whatever she wants!! My god, how childish is that?? Doesn´t matter if she sang it with Nightwish before or whatever. It is her decision alone!
is tarja's brother...sadly he isn't marco hietala...the only one who can sing this song with tarja...
the other day i was reading that tuomas said thar perhaps "anette surprise us with her own version of the phantom"
Yes the male singer is Tarja's brother Toni
I love his voice.
I am still a big fan of NW, but I really like the sound of Toni's voice here.
It is more like the original, but still has a rock edge to it.
I think on the odd night she just finds it hard to hit high notes. Still a very good performance.
I still think it would have been better if they professionally recorded the London performance - that was the best!
Is its just me, or did Nightwish just preform the orignal song with electric guitars..? I hear no diffrent except Marco can't sing the phantom part (And Tarja's brother is ofcourse even worse). This is all about Tarja (and A.L Webber)
Well, please don´t forget that a Tarja Concert ist Metal; so its in the 1st point a kind of entertainment.
And the guy in this song is Tarja´s brother Tobi Turunen.
No maniac sexual desire ;)
Although I still like the new Nightwish with Annette and the Solo CD´s of Tarja... I wish they would stop with their old songs. This is the best Example, Tarja and Marco were perfect for this Song...
i just realized now how tarja seems like a SIM. I'm talking about that game in wich you build a house and live virtually...
I love her and her voice, but her dancing is the same of the SIMs
well it's a matter of tastes, i personally don't like Marco Hietala, his voice is strong but not good for this song. Toni Turunen sounds a lot more like steve harley in the original version.
Well, I'm a huge supporter of the Original stage prodution (NOT the movie), and I can honestly say that I rather enjoyed this version. It's unique, and is probably the best rock version of the song ever done.
Not so bad but that guy voice don't fit this kind of sing even lil'bit, he sing like a pop star, I prefer Nightwish version, Marco did a great job there. And the keyboard is bad too, Tuomas Rulez!!!!!!!!!!!
O MY GOSH! AMAZING!!! Now if only they had sung the song like that for the original version! I like this version MUCH better! Actually sounds like the original song! BRILLIANT!!!!!
@fgm1988
Well to me the best version will be for a long time the one of Nightwish with Tarja, There's something wrong with this one, I don't know what but still...
This guy might have more technique, but Marco has such an intense power within his voice that fit perfectly the Phantom's personality.
Too bad Tarja left Nightwish...
Her not hitting the high note like usual here, has nothing to do with leaving Nightwish because in many new concerts she does. Or sometimes she hits it even better!
The drummer is Mike Terrana(Rage,Masterplan),and he's indeed very good.
And someone said something about the "random guy"....actually that's her brother Toni Turunen.
:D
Miss understood you, sorry.
Just am tired of people complaining towards her, i mean what gives NW the right to say its their "song" it as much her in my toughts!
Tarja is awesom, im a big fan of nightwish and tarja. Tarja sings like angels but this song is not the same without the other nightwish members, i dont se magic here :P
Ahora entiendo porque voz de tenor es el hermano de tarja osea es la voz mas delgada del hombre el tenor , mientras que tarja es soprano la voz mas delgada de la mujer, prefiero la voz de tarja es mas potente
This is a question of preference, I like a lot of Tarja, but I prefer the Sarah Brightman, I think that orignals is always better. Both are great singers. A strong hug for you!!!

@MrMnM14 I think she is preforming a lot better live now.
With nightwish her voice wasn;t to great live, but i must say i do miss the intro's that nightwish had
@ku0sh0al Ehh..... There is a difference between 'power' and yelling. I like Annete's voice on the album. It's decent, not powerful, but live she just yells.
I prefer this song with Marco, Tony sings very well, but I think this song sounds better whith Marco's voice, is stronger, with more energy, is...is different
the guy is good but not even close of the Tarja and Marco singing this song, but however is bether than reard this on the voice of the Annete what ruin the song!!
Her brother's voice reminds me of annette it pisses me off... she should find somebody with a more fitting voice for this song like marco's voice was fitting..
Marco's sooo much better than that random guy! Gosh... and Tarja is alright for this song... i think the song needs less vidrato, but other than that lovely.
Im going to a VIP-dinner with Tarja in Malmo 26May-08, hope 2 meet Toni then =) *hopeful*
and then the consert the day after.
14 days left!!!!!!

WTF what a fucking gay I missed the version with the bassist from nightwish. That sounds much better and heavier. Her part is as always very good. Cheers to all
@ISeeAnIdiot A person can appreciate someone's songwriting without "thinking he is almighty". As I said, the great thing about an opinion is that we are all entitled to one.
@Feanor2345 Oh go away. What are you her partner? No!!! so don't get offended when other peoples opinions differ from your own you need to get out more!
@Feanor2345 Well i think Nightwish ruined this song anyway so i wouldn't want to hear a new version of it. Glad to know my opinion affects you so much.
@Feanor2345 Wow u met her so that means u know everything. I wouldn't want Nightwish to make a new version of this song because they already ruined it.
She sounds a little off to me. I like Sarah Brightman better, she hits the notes better and holds them longer. I like rock music, but not for this song.
Makes me sad to see her singing this without Tuomas Emppu Jukka and Marco :'(
I think Marco's aggressive voice made this song
I can't deny, so just tell me why; every little song I write, Never seems enough for you
You don't wanna sing it again Because you don't like them..."
Okey, i have to say i liked the music of nightwish better than this. And with precious Marco of course. But Tarja is still the same - amazing performance.
I know, I'm well annoyed I didn't go last Xmas now...
I think I'm going to have to go to one in Germany for 1 night, then come back in the morning =S
She did much better at Helsinky in 2005, I prefer this song live at Harwall Arena (End of an Era)
But I like it so much =) she's got an amazing voice
probs just down to when i was in the concert, Its knackering singing like that - it takes all you energy. anyway it wasnt half bloody good anyway!!
