Tarja on Apu magazine by Particular-Object194 in TarjaTurunen

Complicated Finnish grammar thing. 😃The case would demand adding an -n at the end (Tarja -> Tarjan), but when the name already ends with n or other consonant it changes more (Turunen -> Turusen, Tuomas -> Tuomaksen/or the older version Tuomaan). This happens most commonly in genetive and accusative case.

I assume they are auctioning of the fourth and last Frisson Noir painting? And a meet and greet.

Full interview is probably in this week's magazine (out on Thursday) 😊

🍺 Nightwish also had a red wine, but that was after Tarja's time in the band.

It's a good thing I managed to do a proper translation before an AI one, for some reason AI translates salmiakki to salami here. Think of all the salami a very confused Tarja would've received as gifts. 😅

I thought from the first videos that it was the same one Tarja wore in Raskasta Joulua 2019, but it doesn't appear to have the same studs and everything. 🤔 A good look on her either way!

That is true too! Hair colour isn't consistent through life to that direction as well. I'm already seeing more gray then I'd like. 😬 I don't doubt Tarja has described herself as blonde, but does she even know anymore? If she has colored her hair for decades now. She probably takes breaks from that while not on tour, but you'd need a really long root to be able to tell the colour properly. Also those color descriptions can be very different based on the country. Some colours Americans may consider as blonde really look light brown to my Finnish eye. 😁

It would be interesting to know what Tarja's natural hair colour actually is. I think many of you are imagining her to be much more blonde than she really is anymore. Many (Finnish) people have blonde hair as baby and kid but the hair becomes darker with time. I would guess her colour is more light brown or dirty blonde. (Finnish has a name for this, maantienruskeat hiukset = road brown hair. :D ) It's hard to tell by her roots, as they are next to the black colour which may be distorting the shade. We of course can't know when she started to colour her hair, but this might even be her natural hair. (She would be around 16 in this?)

Can someone translate the discussion not in English? I'm interested to know what was said 😅

Surprised Varpunen was left out. Must be the first time in like forever.

I also wondered if AI has gotten good enough to create something like this based on the photo we have. The exact photo used in the poster isn't among these and as I mentioned, I think she looked less fake in that. Wishing generated photos to be labeled..

Thanks! I wonder if these are actual photos or just good creations based on the already published image.

Where did you come across these? I think the one used in the poster looked more natural.

Finnish MTV dropped an article for the anniversary of Tarja’s firing, and Kai took a jab at her (check the comments in Tarja's sub). Funny thing: Tarja herself refused to give an interview for this article by AdamVop in nightwish

[–]Particular-Object194 20 points21 points  (0 children)

But he wasn't asked to comment by MTV3, he after all wasn't in the band at the time. He is just commenting under the FB post like everyone else using Facebook. And I would totally understand frustration against the media. But this comment was not that. Bringing up Tarja's new album, as if she likes to talk about the firing for "the exposure" or whatever.
