Hey there.

To answer your question, Nightwish has found a new vocalist :)

Click here for her profile on Nightwish's official site!

Congrats to Nightwish if they read this :)

Thanks for your reply, I actually checked Annette's profile a couple of weeks ago... right after this topic...

I don't know... didn't like her voice range... not up to the level as Tarja.

Her voice is common, unlike Tarja's womanly powerful Soprano Voice, this girl sounds like a fresh highschool graduate on her first gig live, though she mentioned all the yapdy yap about being born and raised in a musical family and all the touring and band work...

Don't think I'll enjoy Nightwish's music as much as before... I'll have to erase the female vocals part to be able to listen to it :(

What do you think ?

Did you like her?

I haven't really gotten around to listening to the new vocals yet, I've been kind of busy. I will though when I get back from vacation :)

I wouldn't advise you to... they sound like swedish bands now like The sins of thy beloved... vocals wise... it sounds nothing like nightwish :(

You can listen to samples on their site like :Eva, Amaranth...

I was one of the candidates ;) so that explains my dislike , haha, but I'll always like their music .

Actually she sounds more like ABBA... her voice is not what Nightwish needs, I sure hope Tuomas Holopainen knew what he was doing when he chose her.

That is in my opinion of course.

She should be singing pop songs not Symphonic Metal.

Thanks for taking part in this forum Jessica, well Tarja did have a great "soprano" voice which is in no way comparable with the new vocalist Anette Olzon, her loss is a shame, but nightwish lives on, their music is still as good as ever, though the new female vocals are a bit poor.
Thanks again for your comment.
