nightwish

I think that people will not appreciate any Nightwish threaRAB on this forum, nobody seems to like that kind of music. but I am going to answer, Anette sucks! I would pick Tarja (as any other person with ears would) over Anette anytime!
 
Anette is just as good a vocalist as others in the genre. Even better than some of them. I think she's worlRAB ahead of Within Temptation's singer.

I think it's stupid to hate on Anette just because she isn't an opera trained singer. Anyone who thought they'd get a Tarja clone is an idiot
 
I also prefer Tarja. Nothing against Annete, but there was so much great music made with Tarja. Maybe after they release several more albums with her, I will get used to her, but I find myself listening to Angels Fall First far more than Dark Passion Play.
 
They are overly operatic with everything they do, so if you don't like that or any theatrics in music then give them a miss. I like them, I also prefer Annette solely because she fits the direction they're taking. It's not always going to be about the technique of the vocals, sometimes you just need a raw edge and I think Annette provides it better then someone that will be overbearing and over-the-top (at times).
 
I don't like Anette because I heard her live, and she doesn't even come near to Tarja or Sharon Den Adel from Within Temptation
 
Tarja vs Anette?

I like both singers on different levels.

Tarja had the most beautiful voice and an amazing range, I like the operatic style.

Anette is a big change. She is much more contemporary. But the more I listen to Amaranth the more I like her.

Of course the only songs I've heard from the new singer is Amaranth and Bye Bye Beautiful. I'm picking up Dark Passion Play tonight and thats when I can really get an idea of who I like better.


EDIT: After picking up the CD....I like Anette just as much as I like Tarja, but like I said, they are on different levels. I mean I retain that Tarja is AMAZING. But as for International popularity, I think Anette is going to do wonders for the band. I mean, this CD alone already has four singles(I believe) and I firmly believe that a few of those could get radio play over here(not sure about other areas but Detroit gets NOTHING like Nightwish). Her voice is more rock, less symphonic and with America at least, the majority of the people would want to listen to Anette more than Tarja. I am hopeful for more touring in America(YEAH!). With that said, a few more songs to check out would be "Whoever Brings The Night", "For The Heart I Once Had" and "Seven Days of The Wolves"

Even if you havent liked Nightwish in the past, the new singer is definately worth a listen.
 
^Anette has a better live presence than Amy Lee for sure. And she's a lot prettier. (NOT a fan of Amy Lee lol).
 
I'm so sick of everyone whining about Anette. I think she fits the band just fine. The people who prefer Tarja are the kind of people that like to use the worRAB "control" and "technique"
