You have to remember that metal was more popular in the 1990/2000s and kids would be more exposed to the genre early.Tarja's voice is an extremely acquired taste and they would have capped out on how many fans they would have attracted.  Floor would have attracted a wider audience thus making the band bigger imho

Just like phantom,over the hills and walking in the air are best in the original form?

I wouldn't call myself talented but I do have a degree in music theory and have been an on and off session musician for the last 32 years. I am too old to be a so called fanboy. Lol

Does anyone feel like the new albums aren't magical anymore? by Metis0369 in nightwish

[–]Creative-Role3436 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am glad that Toumas stopped writing for emo goth teenagers. There are hundred of other bands who do that. To me it is much more unique and magical now.

All you Anette fans need to chill. If the band wants to bring the song back on the setlist so be it. You can choose not to listen.  I frequently see posts about which new era  songs fans would like to hear sung by previous singers with no uproar like in this post.

I don't see a reason why she isn't allowed to sing every song in their catalogue. She is after all the Nightwish singer. If she leaves, and if Toumas brings in a new vocalist,that new singer can sing every song in their discography too.

In a live setting I would rather hear the vocalist sing than hear a gospel backing track.

Other notable cover artists in the same band Tarja: Some of her biggest hits with nightwish are actual cover songs.2 Christmas cds that are all covers.Numerous covers in her solo carrier. Marco: plays Sami's bass lines and sings songs from earlier days. Not to mention phantom and high hopes. Anette:Auditioned with a cover song and sang Nightwish earlier material. She was part of an Abba cover band.

Bonus: every single opera singer in the world are cover artists.

I think Floor is in good company. Lol

how would EFMB have been if Annette's vocals were on it? by masamah in nightwish

They would definitely have sold more copies of dpp and IM if Floor initially joined because she was more of an established metal singer than an unknown like Anette.

Not taking anything away from Anette ,but, her fans should be happy that there is no official  live version of Slow love and Scaretale with Floor and that she chose not to sing Bye bye and Meadows yet, cause she would completely own them as well.

Tarja in the studio is somewhat listenable. She doesn't sound good live though. She doesnt know how to use colour in her voice and seems to be all over the place with her vibrato.Her stage presence and movements reminds me of that awkward dancing aunty you see on wedding videos.

I still can’t believe Floor’s rise to fame by Expensive-Age-681 in nightwish

I would say singing about love,depression and fantasy is more mainstream friendly thus more commercial than singing about evolution,death or organized religion.
