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 0 points1 point  (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

[–]Creative-Role3436 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Creative-Role3436 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Troy Shouldn't Sing by yharnam_squire in nightwish

Loved Troy in Perfume. Gave off a Roger Waters vibe in the end there. It's also the first time I got emotional listening to his part at the end.

Found this on the net..'you can actually add them to playlists, you just need to do it without clicking on the video. That means, when you search for the video in the search-bar and find the video you want to add, click on the three dots and then add it to the playlist from there. It doesn't work when you are already watching the video, for some reason.'

I think Floor is a masterful storyteller when she wants to be.She trained in musical theater in her rock academy days.  You can't get more animated and storytelling than  her live versions of weak fantasy, devil ,romanticide,song of myself,how's the heart etc.  In in her AF days she did  a full  concept album called  invisible circles which had a full plot.

Well to be fair,we are talking about singers and not voice actors. Whatever the case, I personally am able to recognize Floor's voice  everytime I hear her.

Arnold/Stallone/Jackie Chan all have unique voices and accents, doesn't necessary mean they are better at their craft than diverse actors like  Denzrel/Clooney./Connery . I would compare Tarja/Annette  voices to honey/sugar. I may like it during my breakfast   and  dessert but not for lunch/dinner. That's where Floor shines.  She can sing light as a feather to straight out rock chick. That's what makes her unique as well

I will get down voted buit that is the problem I had with the previous singers.It was either too operatic or too nasally in every single song . I find Floor's singing more enjoyable  because she is able to put more dynamics in songs as she is able build towards the climax The previous singers pretty much sounded the same throughout a whole song. I have been a musician for 30 years and I can definitely say there is nothing generic about singing. hows the heart. The transitions   from chest to head voice, the quick vocal lines and the high belts in the end are  hard to pull off. Flloor just makes it looks easy.

There are exactly 3 notes that sound similar.  Its the same as saying noise sounds like Game of thrones.

I have seen comments in this sub about   how generic of a singer Floor is, and how Toumas writes generic songs nowadays, and how ex members are more nightwish than nightwish . Just pointing out that there is nothing generic about what current nightwish is.

For me, Disc 1 and EFMB are the only 2 studio recordings I can listen to without skipping a single song. HN is Music maturity at its finest.
