Clearly. You, guys, are just right. There is nothing to add.
She precisely follow the path taken by Tarja already. Unfortunatelly, but dress sense.

The same thing, as with Tarja... New manager and new website... and than new band?

GOSSIPS...GOSSIPS...GOSSIPS...People you are so amusing...I give one gossip more:Tuomas Holopainen has also own official website so maybe he's gonna leave the band and make own music alone...HAHAHA...Don't be so f..king childish!

I could swear he make his own music allready

zyan wrote on 14.05.2009 at 18:55
if she does follow the same path as tarja then perhaps the guys should be held more accountable. tuomas may be most loved by fans but maybe he and the others arent as nice as they appear. i imagine working with a loner perfectionist such as him maybe gruelling

people are being ridiculous... what harm can a personal website do?
Anette is amazing, I doubt the guys would kick her out if her attitude towards them remains the same.

Blackwood wrote on 14.05.2009 at 20:32
Guys; This new 'personal' website is created by her management, Swedish Hagenburg, all of the other artists wich they represent have a personal website with information about that artist, so Anette needed one as well.

I just don't think this is something you should get so worked up about...

Faor wrote on 14.05.2009 at 21:44
@ claire...I know but my comment was a joke to same people who make these gossips and seems to "know everything".There is nothing abnormal to me if someone of the band has own website!

RockMan wrote on 14.05.2009 at 23:32
"DIVA anyone???" Deja vu (Tarja)?? Okay, why would she have her own site for? Does she think she's better than everyone else in the band??? What about Emppu, Tuomas, Marco, or Jukka? Why don't they have their own websites?? NIGHTWISH IS A BAND!!! NOT A SINGER!!! DAMNIT!! And as for Anette, she is going down the same path as Tarja, and only time will tell when the shit will hit the fan.... :/

James wrote on 15.05.2009 at 08:04
opps!! Tuomas DOES have his own site! My mistake!

And yes, Tuomas does have his own site, BUT it is for non-profit, and is endorced as mentioned by someone here. I checked out her site and gee, Anette Olzon even has her own logo and everything now! WOW, I never expected her to be so full of herself in such a little time. She wasn't like this when she first started, but now it seems like she is. Ever since the crying incident in November, her relationship with the band is much different now (sounds familiar). I know I should not get worked up over this being a big NW fan and all, but this is a step in the WRONG direction. I feel sorry for Tuomas in a way, but he has made some poor decisions handling issues with the band. I have a feeling Ms. Anette Olzon will not last long in NW either...

James wrote on 15.05.2009 at 08:18
There must be something wrong with NW's management. Why would Anette do something like this if there wasn't any issues? It sounds like Tarja all over again, but I agree with anon, the guys should be held more responsible this time. Maybe a woman working for Nightwish is not a good idea after all? Something is going on. Abuse maybe?? Just a thought.

Jon wrote on 15.05.2009 at 08:26
And Anette isn't even finnish!!! I guess the band breaks up right this moment coming back from the States!!

Grow up here!!
Great site, great band!

OW wrote on 15.05.2009 at 09:08
oh well. Until September we cannot know for sure if these are just speculations or the truth. Either way, this won't be the end of Nightwish: as long as Tuomas is there, a change of lead vocalist isn't a problem; plus, there are tons of way more talented singers than Anette around. She's not irreplaceable AT ALL.
But yes, many problems concerning this band seem to stem from very bad communication and management. The whole "lead vocalists are divas" probably serves as a front, and it lures naive fanboys away from King Foo's pretty lousy management. Smart move from the band.

Hej,

Anette's decision to open a personal web site has nothing to do with so called rumours about issues within the band. In fact those are pure "make ups" or fears generated by single, short timed past events.

As every singer, Anette expresses her whiches to participate in other projects ( e.g. The Rasmus ) and allow her to do what she loves most: singing. Though her Nightwish obligations remain intact and those are not threatened in any ways. Please remember that most NW members do have some other projects running at the same time. So does Anette. This web site will allow her to communicate better with her and Nightwish fans.

As stated many times before, Nightwish is coming along very fine together and no pressures whatsoever are present. Please rely to official information from the band members.

Anette's engagement to Nightwish will continue after this tour ending 2009. Let me remember that Nightwish has played 156 shows in not even 15 months last year..which remains in this branch an enormous, both physic as moral, workload to absolve. The band stuck together even in the most difficult moments and grew stronger. Everyone has learned from each other and those precious things will allow them to get along in future on better ways.
Finally, both management teams work in a most efficient and productif way together for the sake of the entire band and Anette's personal interests. Anette's choice to get a personnal mangement taking care of her interest was the best decision to allow the entire band to get along in a more productif way.

Cheers

Why on earth a vocalist of the NW band needs her own site? Myspace, yeah, sure, but whole site???? She can't post info related to her on the official NW site? She doesn't do lots o side projects, not so many that there is a whole separated site needed! Oh is she thinking that she is SO important now and some puny NW site isn't enough for the STAR like her . That sucks.(((

Lola wrote on 15.05.2009 at 17:05
I love NW , all guys in NW , especially Anette ,
I can not listen to your s*** anymore about Anette and Tarja.
NW is not NW without Tuomas!
And quit talking rude things about Anette! So what? Woman wants her official web-site.
You are not going to "kill" her for that?? I wanna all the best to NW ,
and especially to Anette!

Ena wrote on 15.05.2009 at 18:04
Saying a professional singer cannot have her own official website without this pointless spectulation is like saying an individual singer cannot have a personal MySpace away from their band. Ie. many bands have music-based MySpace pages, but many of the members have inidivdual MySpace pages as well, like Lacuna Coil and Cristina Scabbia (just an example). So... why can't Anette have an individual website away from the official Nightwish website?

She is an artist. Just like Nightwish is not just a singer, a singer is not just Nightwish. She has the capability to work in other bands, on side projects, ect. How many bands does Marco Hietala work in? But no one says he has bad relationships with the rest of Nightwish just because he chooses to work on and sing for other bands as well.

You guys are looking for drama. Tarja did far worse things than this. Tarja was emotionally detached from Nightwish, its members and its fans. I don't think she considered them friends or even cared about Nightwish's music as a whole; she made that clear several times. I have seen Nightwish live just a few weeks ago, and the chemistry between Anette and the other members is friendly, open and exciting. She banters with Marco and at the signing, she jokingly challenged Emppu on who could sign a bigger signature. She's not standoffish or stuck up whatsoever. She talks to the fans, just smiles and has conversations with them. She's a sweet person who's had to fill a big role, and that includes facing the disapproval of many harsh fans.

Stop making a big deal out of something so tiny. Are you guys so lacking in excitement in your lives that you have to create drama for a band? Shut up. Nightwish is about music, so enjoy it for the music. If you want drama that badly, please, take some of mine. Just stop being little gossipers spreading negative rumors with absolutely no evidence to back it up. You all sound like elementary school kids.

Arcana wrote on 15.05.2009 at 23:24
Agree with Aracana, great comment, you're one of the few in here that make sense :)

and as mentioned before, every client of Hagenburg mangement have their own homepage (some using myspace), and that bring me to the point that if you click om Anette's myspace link on the homepage you can read the profile saying "Unnofficial". Whats the problem Lola?

Damn, I can't believe you guys, even after a stetment from the MGMT you keep on going with the negative and drama-filled comments.

RockMan wrote on 17.05.2009 at 00:30
@Arcana

Good comment, but I disagree in some ways. Anette is slowly falling into that "Diva" category by putting up this site for herself (with help from her idiot manager). It is intented to generate a profit mainly for herself and a little promotion for NW on the side. It is extremely selfish to do this and it isn't fair to the rest of the band either, at least in my opinion. It's okay to have fans and support, but she is trying to run a business for herself and that dumbass of a manager of hers is telling her to do this for a little extra cash, which sucks because she was a nice person when she became the lead vocalist of NW. The band already has a site and I guess that still wasn't enough huh. Remember, if it wasn't for NW, Anette would not have been known to anyone. I think that this little issue will turn into a big catastrophe for the band because the main focus here for both her and the band is about the money. But that usually leads to disaster in the end (almost like Metallica :P ). Remember that most of these events happened after the crying incident in November so keep that in mind as well. I still like this band for the most part, but I am disappointed with NW, but it isn't Anette's fault 100%. I don't completely blame her. I blame mainly the band, her crappy manager, NW's management, and all of the bad influences the music industry does to cool people. Fame ruins the best of people unfortuneatly. :( I wish the best for both her and NW and I hope they come out of this okay, but that seems unlikely. She'll probably leave NW eventually...

James wrote on 18.05.2009 at 06:04
@Arcana...Tarja didn't do anything "worse than this".I saw Tarja live with NW twice and once alone...She's far from what you say,and she was MUCH more friendly and energetic with fans than Anette ever was at the live i saw last year.Not to mention that Tarja had her free singing session.As far as i can tell,now you have to pay BIG money to see NW.They weren't like this before 2005.
And it's not the fans who want and cause the drama,but the band itself.Let me remind you the yellow-press typed open letter,all the fuss and interviews afterwords,the choice of Anette as a singer,a different than Tarja singer which would(and actually did)cause endless discussions and comparisons until today,the incident in Brazil(the different explanations they gave to that is a drama factor of its own),and the badmouthing about Tarja even today,after all those years.

Legeon wrote on 18.05.2009 at 18:16
@ James & Legeon
You're absolutly right.
I've seen Tarja twice at the WinterStorm Tour and she was more friendly than NW at their shows.
I don't want to say that I hope that Anette will leave the band, but I wouldn't be surprised if she does.
Also I think that not all problems exist because of her. It's also the band, that is doing a lot of shitty things.

Franziska wrote on 18.05.2009 at 22:39
@ Franziska

Well said. Another thing to keep in mind is that NW is becoming a band that cares more about money than the music. Listen to Oceanborn and compare it to DPP. You can hear a HUGE difference in musical quality. Oceanborn has ZERO influence from modern mainstream music, an album made solely for the love of music. I still think they make descent music, but their mainstream success is ruining the band little by little. They want to hit the U.S. mainstream so they can become the next Evanescence. That is why they got Anette. She sounds more exceptable to the ears of the majority. She has a good voice and all, but NW is clearly out of her league (b/c she should be able to sing the old songs without issues). She sounds good in Alyson Avenue and Brother Firetribe's "Heart Full of Fire" because the Adult Orientated Rock style is more suitable for her vocal style. I wish NW and Anette the best.

James wrote on 19.05.2009 at 11:05
@ James: You are right.NW have now turned to what they claim they aren't: a business.Their sound is extremely more mainstream and easy-listening.People who know about music and have heard real quality bands can see beyond the great orchestrations,the over-the-top symphonic compositions and the expensive production in DDP.Quality is distinguishable in simplicity;in albums like AFF or Oceanborn,where the simplicity of the sound allows you to see the complexity and quality of the compositions,something that's missing in DDP,where the melodies are extremely simple.
But let's return to our point:advertising.Official sites of member with no really noteworthy career(remember that,besides the albums with her unknown band,Anette has only one(!) record counting,when Tarja waited MANY years before even making such a site),contracts with water companies,meet-and-greets where you have to PAY to see the band,clothing sponsors...
I don't know who's to blame though.Their greed or Nuclear Blast.

Legeon wrote on 19.05.2009 at 15:52
I have never seen such a compilation of stupid, childish and immature comments like on this news here...listen to Evanescence and jerk off!!!

OW wrote on 20.05.2009 at 09:24
@ Legeon

Well for me, I personally blame them all... I agree with what you said about the whole business aspect of the band. Doing that whole Veen Waters promotion was ridiculus. That was only done to help promote them and to gain a little extra cash. That sounds like greed to me. I have only known NW for about a year now (it's b/c I live in the U.S. :P), but I fell like I miss the Tarja era already... :( Their music was much more pure, true, and more meaningful than anything they do now. My first album was DPP, and I wasn't that impressed with it. To me, it sounds like watered-down, commercial metal music compared to anything they did before. Like I said before, it isn't bad and it grew on me a little, but I don't listen to it that often because of it. The Poet and the Pendulum however is an outstanding track, but for majority of the album, it did not live up to that song. Songs like Cadence of Her Last Breath, Amaranth, and For The Heart I Once Had sound too much like typical pop rock songs to me (compared to what NW is usually like) and they are not very well made songs. I am worried that NW is going to turn into another Evanescence copy on their next album. It's not like them to be like that, but that is what seems to be happening. All of the warning signs are there, and it seems to be pointing in that direction. Only time will tell...

James wrote on 20.05.2009 at 09:36

The only immature comment written here is yours! I am not here to get into a debate, but I am saying my opinion about the situation with others. And no I don't listen to Evanescence either, in fact I don't think they are good at all. Nightwish, even with Anette, is still MUCH better than them. People only compare those two bands because of the whole female fronted metal/rock band genre. There is no comparisons though. And please I am not going to troll here, but that attitude is not needed here. I respect other people's opinions to mine and so should you.

James wrote on 20.05.2009 at 09:43
@James: comment the news and join NW forum to discuss the evolution of the band's music style and greed.
It's just about Anette opening a personal site, not a metaphysic brain orgasm about what direction NW shouldn't take. If they want to frive 7 different Aston Martin per week, I don't give a shit

OW wrote on 20.05.2009 at 10:37
You are having a good discussion here, guys. Well, it was mentioned here, already, but one more time: Anette AND Nightwish CD and DVD - that means SHE IS A SOLO artist in this group, not a part of it. You can ceck on her web side.
You are also menioning the crying incident. Have you forgotten the Greece incident? When Mrs. Vocalist upset all country? Actually, I am checking other forums, too, and on Blabbermouth somebody mentioned, that US fans have been very dissapointed, because of short and expensive show - vocalist was ill again. And somebody, who saw them performing in London mentioned, that there have been no interaction between her and a band, too. That girl clearly mentioned "big space between her and a band".
So, rumours? Maybe. But if these guys SAW that with their own eyes, what to say? As for that MGMT statement - what did you expect them to say?? They, off course, should say, what they are paid for. Actually, she is not healthy enough to sing for Nightwish fans AND she is going to do something else as well? Sideprojects? And who will sing there instead of her - being ill all the time?
Her new Logo is cool. But as far as Nightwish already has one logo - I doubt what she is going to do with it?

What "metaphysic brain orgasm"?(BTW it's metaphysical).The analysis about NW's music sounds too-much for you,or did you have difficulties in understanding the words used?
Anyway,the point was about the direction they have taken towards fame and and publicity.And whether you like it or not,their music is a part of it,along with their contracts with water companies,official sites (of members with no career besides and album with NW and a couple of collaborations),clothing sponsors,endless accusations until today against a former member etc...

to Arcana: Tarja was very close friend of Tuomas and other guys, they knew each other as children, they grew together. Tuomas reffer to her as to a dear old friend. In a book Tuomas said that all of them had crush on Tarja at some point.
Anette is hired swedish vocalist. Why do you think she is CLOSER to them? As for worse things tarja did, what do you mean? That she hired her own manager? Ups, Anette did that, too. Exactky WHAT Tarja did what Anette did not?
To James: Evanescence is BETTER ten DPD. Actually, For the heard I once had... that might be composed by Michael Jackson, too. I can not even her that song.

To James: If you are new to Nightwish, you should have a look on DVD The end of an era - that is Nightwish in their best.
And as far as you are from States, you most probably do not know HIM, too. Check that, too. They are amazing.
And if you will have a moment, there is a german group called Haggard - if you will have a look at their DVD Awaking the centuries (concert in Mexico) you will see SOMETHING.

Actually, HIM was the first finnish band I got into. They are also the first band that introduced me to Nightwish and other great bands like Wintersun, Kalmah, 69 Eyes, Fintroll, Children of Bodom, Sonata Arctica, and many others. I love finnish metal. MUCH better than what American metal is... Yeah, I saw a few clips of NW performing on the End of An Era DVD in Hartwell Arena on Youtube. Yea, they rocked that night! :) I'll probably buy it like I ended up buying everything else of theirs! ;)

Excellent point about Anette.Tarja has been criticized for a long time now about her "behavior" or her stage performance,where she's called "the snow queen"(actually no one had a problem with her before the October of 2005-but everyone since then made up fake problems),but actually Tarja never insulted a whole country that Anette did.A country where Anette had her first show ever(and probably her first visit) and NW had performed there with Tarja twice and the shows were great.
Tarja never left the stage abandoning her fans for a smoke machine(or fake sentimental reasons or insults-what's even true?),Tarja had an excellent show here in 2007 with a great performance and very warm relationship and connection with the fans,unlike Anette who didn't even say anything to us.

PS.If Tarja is the only one to you then you are totally in the wrong place because she is not anymore in the Nightwish.She has a great solo career now so you can go in her site to continue your conversation "how gorgeous and and nice person you Tarja are and how bad Anette is"!Nightwish still have old and new fans so they really don't need your support.OOH I almost forget...I like Tarja too so don't try to blame me a "fanatic Anette fan"!

"YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING BECAUSE YOU WASN'T THERE AND THAT'S THE FACT!...SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!! "

Actually i was there.I was there when NW came twice with Tarja (2004 & 2005),was there when Tarja came alone and i was there when NW came last year,Anette got so angry with the organization that she wasn't even able to distinguish who's to blame or not.And i was there when she didn't even spoke to us,i was there when we couldn't hear her "singing".
And i AM here,the very place that she blamed without any kind of politeness or even knowledge on music business or major world tour.Even Tuomas admitted that she was TOO rude for saying that.

By the way,you didn't even contradicted with REAL arguments what we said,you only accused us for "writing bull shit and making naive comments here"...But i suppose you have really nothing to say.
And we have no motivations,only a simple constructive critique for them...But you believed that the only people allowed to judge them are the ones who accept Anette and how NW has become now?The rest have no right to do that?

Sorry but wrong again...you didn't get my point!
Have you never make mistakes or have a bad day in your life?Have you never had a big pressure before something or someone has misunderstood you in a wrong way?...then ask your self: Is it right that some people can judge you if they know only few things "there and there" and they don't know absolutely nothing what you feel inside and what kind of person you are?
If someone don't like you then it's very common that this person uses every your mistakes or weakness against you and make stories,gossips even lies about you so do you think that's right?Do you think that this person knows you 100% so everything what he or she writes is 100% correctly?...THINK,THINK,THINK...
Do you know Anette Olzon 100% and was you "THERE" 100% when all this happened?Do you really think that Nightwish can or even have time to explain all the things 100% to every individual person?...MAYBE YOU NOW GET MY POINT!
So in the end...is it so fucking big deal if someone like Anette Olzon has her own website!!!

So, are you happy???

It's a news about Anette opening her website...if you want to comment NW's career, come to the official forum and take your best shot.

People don't give a shit about subcontracts and sponsors. If you don't like the music, don't listen to it, if you don't like the singer, fcku off and don't buy the album....or should I say, don't DOWNLOAD it since you didn't pay for it anyway....THAT's why artists are forced to get high prices on ticket sales, merchandising and sponsors.

I?m doing my Lord K now.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT! My worthless points shouldn?t even be displayed here. I can?t write proper English too and let alone this fact, I?m right now punishing myself and slam my office door with my fingers between.
BEFORE Anette, NW was so damn great and got almost an NGO status by UNO. I remember talking to Tuomas back in 2007 saying that Anette was their worst choice possible. They had it so right until she came. DPP was meant to become their heaviest album, a milestone in metal history until SHE came. She said that profit and money was now what NW should aim for. The band wanted to do FREE shows and publish DPP for 0 on iTunes?Anette was against. Let alone this fact, she decided to screw some shows in advance and stated clearly that she won?t hit the notes correctly if she doesn?t want to. Since she hates metal, she commanded to get DPP as poppy as they could get it. The record should be very expensive to buy, the tickets very high and merchandise should be unaffordable. Tuomas cried when he told me that?believe me. He regretted fireing Tarja since Anette is worse than all Cabulis in the world united.
Anette gives a shit about her fans and demands payable M&G sessions. Fans should pay for the pencils she uses. Pictures with her should be priceless and only healthy, beautiful people should get some. Further, she requested a tourbus for herself and her greed. She asked for the Concorde plane to get back in service but NW and their management couldn?t do it. So she decided to hire some Swedish management to negociate better contracts with higher salaries for herself. She commanded the creation of a personal website to underline that she is the best singer in the world and her bandmates some drunk finnish loosers. The NW dream will come to an end after the Hartwal show. Afterwards she will send an open letter to her band mates telling them that Nightwish is history. More, she will get Tuomas and King Foo to justice to get 80% of previous Nightwish incomes paid back to her.
Finally, I saw right yesterday Anette driving around in a pink cusotmed Aston Martin with a sticker: My car even drives without forests.
You are all right, I?m sorry for being so selfish and knowing zilch about NW. Anette is the reason of world economic crisis and recession, pig flu and wars.

Gee, don't you think you're all being a little silly here? Anette is not that bad of a person actually. She just has issues like everyone else and I think she is confused about what is happening. She has to fill a big role and there is a lot of pressure on her. But I am not going to discuss this issue any further. Her decision to open a website is not that big of a deal yet. Rumors are so horrible, and EVERYTIME there is a NW topic on this site, fans start gossiping about crap that is untrue and it is so sickening to me. We don't know what is really happening, so don't start a bunch of assumptions about what is going on with NW. There is nothing else to say here, we all over analyized this WAY TOO FAR! IF YOU DON'T LIKE NW OR ANETTE, DON'T LOOK THEM UP, DON'T BUY THEIR MUSIC, AND DON'T INSULT THE BAND OR HER. That is just silly and immature. That is all I am going to say here.

It took their previous singer like 9 years to think of herself as a big star, but It took their current singer like only two years to became such a diva - a person who did only two maybe three side projects and released only one album with famous band does not need any website, cause there is web site of NW to suit her needs and her own personal myspace if she really wants it so badly. But the whole site, her own logo, come one, so cheap. I agree with majority here, bad taste and all.

Be careful with what you say.I haven't bought anything?I was never insulted more in my life.Until a year ago i was a BIG fan of NW.I have been listening to them since 2001,i grew up with them.There were times that i listened to nothing else but NW.And i'm talking about YEARS.
I have bought everything they ever released.In cd's,not from iTunes.And i'm talking about albums,singles,mini cds,DVDs and plus,limited editions of everything mentioned.
I paid for 3 concerts.

And after all these years,i think i can have an opinion.
Did you think that only die-hard NW fans have the right to comment?Well,I WAS that kind of fan.And that didn't change with the arrival of Anette,neither with DDP.

Legeon wrote on 22.05.2009 at 14:05
Well, Simone Simons has her own site too, as do a lot of musicians. That doesn't mean they're all going to leave their bands!

Anyway, it's just a website. Anette even answers the questions people ask her in comments on her blogs! Nothing wrong with that!

It's just another way to connect with Anette, and i know you hardcore tarja fans all want to see her fail, and want any excuse to discredit Anette. Unfortunately for you all, she's staying with the band.

Who said that every artist with a personal website is about to leave his band?
We just say that she has developed an advertising,promoting and diva behavior(which isn't only shown by the website-want to remind you the clothing sponsors for example?) too soon,considering that she only has one album with NW and couple of collaborations promoted by Nuclear Blast(i don't consider her albums with AA as a "career",at least not one worthy a website).
Her whole behavior has changed,and many people see that.You don't have to be a die-hard Tarja fan(can't someone be just a SIMPLE Tarja fan?)to see what Anette says,what she demands and that even Tuomas is terrified by her attitude.

About Simone Simons that i mentioned,she has a much longer career than Anette and she established her website just now.

"It's just another way to connect with Anette"

We witnessed how much Anette wanted to communicate with us in the concert.Not at all!

But finally guys.You are right;a website is just a website.The problem is what it represents.And it represents someone who forgot what she was 4 years ago,and she thinks she has the same position with singers with long careers,and all that because of the fame of NW.NW were famous way before her.

@Legeon
Sorry but I think that you are very childish and naive because you are talking all the time why Anette didn't communicate with you and how it hurts your feelings...I think you are a very selfish person and you didn't understand what I earlier wrote to you.I recommend you to watch ex. YouTube clips from the Nightwish concerts and notice there Anette's communication with the crowd.She is doing a lot of work with the people during the concert and after the gig.If you didn't get the feedback from Anette like you said then it's harm to you but don't try to manipulate (make stories) people with your personal feelings because they are not objective.
People make own conclusions about Anette and ex.to me she is a very nice person even she has never communicate with me.
Other bizarre thing is also your attitude to Anette's success usually in music and to be a part a famous band.Let me remind you that it wasn't easy to her jump to the band like Nightwish and start to sing songs (DPP album) which orchestra was made ready even she was in the band.DPP album is the best selling NW album so far and all the gigs are usually sold out so still there must be people who enjoy the band.This all already shows that she has done a good job and she has been in the band 2,5 years so there is nothing wrong if she opened own website to her fans.Artists has in history short careers and long careers but still those people has achieved something and that thing don't calculate time!Maybe you don't like her and want to be a fan but you have to respect other people opinion how they feel about Anette!
If you don't respect Anette then you better move on and find something more interesting.NW don't make music only to you and they can't please everybody.You can choose the music (persons) what you like and leave the rest to the other people.
"Crying" here don't change absolutely nothing and nobody cares what you or even me like!

I think you have misunderstood some things.According to you,only people who adore Anette and accept her can comment here.Actually NW are famous,so it's very natural that people would judge them.
I didn't manipulate anyone to have my opinion about Anette,or you think that people commenting here aren't smart enough to understand what they like and what don't?
"Crying"?Please,where did you see crying?This is a place about discussions,and i am sure that you wouldn't call it "crying" if i wasn't against Anette.
Yeah,it's difficult.Yeah,it's hard.But she chose it.We live in a time with communication and information;she would have perfectly see how famous NW are and how people were shocked from Tarja's firing and were curious to see who would be the new singer and compare them.
In case you didn't realize it i was talking about careers and advertisement.This whole thing-the website,her logo,even her blog where she even posts what snacks she eats,the clothing sponsors-are developed too soon.
What i think is that too much ateention with NW banged her and forgot some things.For example that she came to an already famous and selling out band and that real careers who endure in time take many years to build.

I agree. Legeon, you need to move on. Obviously, NW is not your kind of band anymore. If you don't like Anette or NW, THEN DON'T LOOK THEM UP ANYMORE!!!! I am tired of the bitching here. Everywhere I go, whether it's a forum, a video, or anything related to NW, there is always a bitchfest about why Anette sucks or NW sucks now. I suggest that you listen to their older stuff then.

Do you seriously believe that only the die-hard fans can criticize a band?Then what would be the whole point of it,since these fans believe that whatever the band does is right.

They are band,which means that they have to deal with critique.The same goes with fans,they need to understand that can't everybody like an artist or his decisions,no matter how right you think they are.

Where did i say that Annette sucks?
Honestly,some of you can't accept that there is a chance that not everyone adores her(which doesn't lead to hate-the world isn't black or wight) and you believe that whenever someone does even a constructive critique and not hate speech,he is childish or trying to bash on her.

Thanks if you agree with me.I only try to give feedback to some people here because their comments about music are so bizarre.Maybe they are such a young people with their naive thoughts but there is also these nasty evil persons (usually fanatic T. fans) who's comments are so fucking childish and stupid even to reply.They really don't understand that their personal opinion don't change nothing and they fool only themselves with their evil nasty comments.
Nightwish is an awesome band and so far as they can sell albums and people go to their concerts everything is fine in their side and everything else like all kind of talk here is pointless.Like Tuomas said:"We lost some old fans but we got some new ones too" so they or any band in the world really can't please every individual person in the earth.I like old and new Nightwish so I don't have any problem with that.It's up to you can you accept changes in music and if you can't then it's time to move one and find something more interesting!
Anette's own website really don't bother me at all and now these "suspicious persons" can ask everything directly from her!

You have criticized Nightwish and Anette here...SO WHAT!!!Do you really think that they start to do things like you want or wish?Do you call tomorrow to Tuomas and ask him to change the lead singer so you can like the band again?Do you call to Anette and ask her to shut her website because she just joined the band and you think that she don't deserve own website yet?Let's play that they do everything like you want and you are happy...I bet that there is very soon other "Legeon 2" writing same comments like you now so THERE IS NO WAY TO DO THINGS THAT EVERYBODY ARE 100% HAPPY so everything what you write here is pointless!
If you are a true Nightwish fan then you respect and accept all the decisions what the band make even you don't like it and support the band.If you can't do this then you are a selfish person with your own opinions and YOU ARE NOT A NIGHTWISH FAN ANYMORE AND THEY DON'T NEED YOUR SUPPORT...if so it's time to move on and find something else...don't worry...they still have old and new fans!

In music,they can do whatever they like,they can express themselves in every possible way...
But their decisions can't always be right.They are simple people,they aren't Gods,they make mistakes.

Actually even if Anette leaves,i still won't like them anymore.I didn't stop liking them because of Anette,but because of what they have become now.More advertising and mainstream than ever,everything is for the money.
Plus,they have lost their spirit.Even Tuomas plays his songs in a wrong way!His own melodies!
BTW,accepting ALL their decisions doesn't make you a "real fan" but a puppet.
As i said,do you really think that the only people allowed to criticize them are the "true fans"?But if the "true fans" accept whatever they do(as you said)then what's even the point of critique?

Finally i want you to tell me where my comments were childish or evil or nasty.It's called constructive critique,but i suppose you take every criticizing comment as evil.

Legeon wrote on 27.05.2009 at 03:55
@ RockMan

I totally agree. True fans will see past this bullshit and still stick by their side.

I personally am a fan of THE BAND, not just the singer. That is what I can't stand about people with this band sometimes. Ppl forget the main reason ANY of this music even exists, and his name is *drum roll* Tuomas Holopainen! Yes, it's true. He was their in the beginning aside Tarja, Emppu, and Jukka. But it was the genious of Tuomas that made Nightwish possible. He had a vision and his vision became reality. He helped influence modern metal. Before NW, it was not very excepted yet to have females sing metal, be he found a way and it worked. Sure, they had females in metal before NW I am sure, but it was not a clique or a big draw either. Hell, they were even made fun of at first, but he looked past that and made NW what it is today. As far as Anette is concerned, the website could be used as an important tool for her and maybe the whole band approved of this, you don't know. Instead of speculating and spreading rumors, just enjoy the music and accept this!

@ Legeon: Remember when Bruce Dickinson left Iron Maiden and was replaced by Blaze Bayley? Their whole fanbase was in an uproar about it, but their most die hard fans stuck with them in the end. So that is what NW fans should do too. RockMan is right, the band isn't always going to do as you please, so either live with it and accept change, or just don't listen anymore. You have the right to follow Tarja wherever she goes, but that is your choice, no one elses. No offense to you or anyone, but this whole issue with Anette gotten WAY too old! I have accepted change and as long as Tuomas still writes the music, NW isn't going anywhere!

EJ wrote on 27.05.2009 at 05:19
@ EJ

I suppose you don't even read my comments.I made it perfectly clear that the reason i don't like them any more is what they have become now,not because of Anette.

About Paul Di'Anno,do you seriously want to make this comparison?Let's see...Bruce left because he wanted to make a solo career,he wasn't kicked by a yellow-press typed letter.Iron Maiden didn't take advantage of his leaving for promotion.Also,Di'Anno isn't as different as Anette from Tarja,actually in many cases he sounds like Bruce.(and no one complained of copying Bruce-fans just enjoyed it)

Pretending that with the change of the vocalist NW didn't change won't lead to anywhere.

PS.About what you said to Rockman...NW wasn't even the first symphonic metal band with female operatic voices,Therion was the first to do that before even NW recorded their demo.And until today,when new bands want to make symphonic metal,they are musically inspired by Therion and they want to have the success of NW.

"Legeon" Paul Dianno was kicked out of Maiden in 1981 and was replaced with what I would call a popsinger. And that pop singer is Bruice Dickinson. Iron Maiden to me is Pauls rockpunkmetal voice and not Bruice pop voice. "run to the hills" is a good example of what I would call pop. About Anettes web page. I don´t think it was her idea to begin with. I think it´s her managment that came up with that one. DPP is the best album released in 2007 bytheway.

WHAT???!? You are calling one of the GREATEST metal singers EVER a POP singer?!?!? Bruce Dickinson is amazing, WAY better than you could ever do. Plus, Iron Maiden is as pure f*cking metal as they come, NOT EVEN CLOSE TO POP! WOW! It's funny that you call DPP the best album of '07 b/c guess what? THAT IS SUNG BY A POP SINGER! You call anything post Killers era pop but yet you consider NW's worst album the best album of '07. What a hypicrite.

btw, if it wasn't for Maiden, you wouldn't have 90% of the metal bands out their right now. UP THE GODDAMN IRONS!!!

metalFTW wrote on 28.05.2009 at 08:09
"metalFTW" Nightwish turned "popish" allready with "Century Child" and "Once" albums. So I expected something simular with DPP. On DPP they perfected their skills and turned it into something awesome. Iron Maiden on the other hand, when they changed their original singer (Paul dianno bytheway) I was also expecting something simular to "Iron Maiden" and "Killers" albums. Boy was I wrong! Out came "Run to the hills". The most popiest song by Maiden! Compere "Wrathchild" (Paul) and "Run to the hills" (Bruce) choruses and you´ll hear what´s REAL METAL and what´s not. "Tattooed millionaire" is also pop btw.

Wrathchild wrote on 28.05.2009 at 18:56
@ Wrathchild

"Wrathchild" is not even their best song, good but not their best, neither was "Run to the Hills", I agree that is an overrated song. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is their crowning achievement IMO, and that was done by Dickinson, not Paul. "Killers" was an awesome album, but I think they improved with each album until Bruce left the band. Paul was a good singer, but Bruce is still much better then him. He made that band better (better range, more energy, etc.). "Wasted Years" and "Can I Play With Madness" were mainstream sounding songs, but NO way were Maiden ever "pop". Calling Maiden pop is the same as calling Britney Spears metal. It doesn't work.

Now on to Nightwish. They did stop the classic/opera style vocals on Century Child and replaced Tarja's voice with a more emotional, mainstream style of singing. Wishmaster was probably their last true power metal album, everything after that was just symphonic metal. "Once" finally put Nightwish on the mainstream map for good in America with their hit, "Wish I Had An Angel". But what was missing on DPP was the inspired songwriting on previous albums. "Poet and the Pendulum" was a very good song, but everything after that wasn't that great. "Master Passion Greed" had potential but failed due to the silly lyrics and immature sounding heaviness, and "Last of the Wilds" was okay but dragged a little bit and got boring. The rest just seemed like standard pop/rock songs. Anette Olzon does not have the voice for a band like NW. In order for someone to be in NW, you have to be a damn good singer. Not that Anette sucks, but NW is clearly not her band. Maybe for a band like Paramore or Pussycat Dolls, but not a metal band. It isn't all her fault, but the band doesn't sound the same as it once was with Tarja. But no way is DPP better than CC or Once.

metalFTW wrote on 28.05.2009 at 19:56
"metalFTW"" The band doesn´t sound the same as it once did."Now here we´re on the same level! NO they don´t. Iron Maiden doesn´t sound the same as they did with their original line up and that line up fans are upset(ME!) Nightwish fans of Tarja lineup is upset with Anette (YOU). If bands get better with lineup changes are subjective. But, we got one thing in common. Replacing bands original singers doesn´t allways work. You want what you´re customed with (and nostalgia is allways precent of course) meaning those were the days.

I see your point. But NW unfortuneatly did not get better with Anette. They got worse and their music is just not what it once was either. The change in vocal was not the only issue here. The music is weaker, simplier, and not as amazing. It's a combination of a lot of things. With Iron Maiden, putting Bruce as the lead singer was the best thing that happened to them. They became legends and Bruce Dickinson has one hell of a voice. Paul di Anno was great too, but Bruce is better IMO, but songs like "Killers" sound better with Paul I think. I understand where you are coming from though. Did you grow up in the early 80's? I'm just wondering b/c I wasn't alive then. I am not fully aware of how the fans of IM reacted to it.

metalFTW wrote on 29.05.2009 at 06:53

Wrathchild wrote on 29.05.2009 at 23:07
@ Wrathchild

Tarja doesn't make a living singing old NW songs.In her set,she has maximum 4 songs of NW,many of which weren't performed for years when she was in (Passion and The Opera,She is my Sin,Walking in The Air,Dead Gardens-for example).
And she has three reasons to do that:1)her solo career isn't so long yet in order to be able to have a full set of her own songs without having a set consisting only of songs from one album.
2)Most of her fans were her fans since the time she was in NW,so it's normal to sing old songs,to please them.
3)Don't forget she was the singer of these songs,she gave them her heart,she became what she is with them.

"Tarja was emotionally detached from Nightwish, its members and its fans. I don't think she considered them friends or even cared about Nightwish's music as a whole; she made that clear several times. I have seen Nightwish live just a few weeks ago, and the chemistry between Anette and the other members is friendly, open and exciting. She banters with Marco and at the signing, she jokingly challenged Emppu on who could sign a bigger signature. She's not standoffish or stuck up whatsoever. She talks to the fans, just smiles and has conversations with them. She's a sweet person who's had to fill a big role, and that includes facing the disapproval of many harsh fans. "

ahah that's the typical bullshit fanboys like to invent when they cannot bear attacks to their new-found idol.
So Tarja was emotionally detached? Why do you think Anette joined the band originally, because she was SO in love with their music? She didn't even know Nightwish . She grabbed an opportunity of a job which let her sing everyday . Probably everybody would have done it, but don't come here saying she DOES care about Nightwish music while Tarja DIDN?T because it's absolutely ridiculous and clearly shows you don't really know anything about the past of this band.
The "chemistry " you saw on stage it's called SHOW , to put up a show includes also to decide how to interact with the fans and band members. Tarja had a different approach, and not because she was a diva or she didn't care, someone who sang with far more emotions than your precious Anette it's impossible she didn't care.
Oh so she is friend with them now? Tarja wasn't ? Who tells you they are "true " friends now? See how these true friends behaved with Tarja? They just kicked her out in the worst possible way.
Tarja and Tuomas have known since they were 13 . Even if they were not best friends I suppose it's still a long time to kick his colleague like this. Especially because, according to both him and Tarja, they were friends once.

Phantom wrote on 03.07.2009 at 23:24
Let's not forget that it used to be fine for everyone that Tarja kept to her job as vocalist and left "working the crowd" mainly to others, and Tuomas actually encouraged her to keep a "mystical" image.

It boggles my mind trying to imagine why a singer would join a project in its demo phase and stay with it through stylistic changes and the early years despite all inconveniences (I'd like to remember you that there used to be a time when Nightwish were more of a laughing stock than anything else) even when she found out it conflicted with her studies and her plans of a career, all when she did not truly like the music and her bandmates at all, while a singer who joins a world-famous band must surely love it and everyone in the band? Why do you think that it was "just a job" for Tarja when she did not get anything out of her involvement in the band at first, while Anette got money, recognition fame and love from day one, without having to work similarly hard and without needing to create essentially a new style of singing (dubbed "half-classical") without any exterior guidance? Are you trying to kid me?

Without this kind of uninformed or just completely brainless remarks, the list of comments under Nightwish-related articles, especially articles like this would never grow as long, I'm sure.
