So...gosh, so many questions!!! It has taken me all evening to answer half of them...now I need a break, so here are the answers to the second part of them;=)
Krishan said...
Hey Anette :-D
First of all, I want to say that you're awesome!
Question: Do you already know what clothes you will be wearing to the Hartwall gig? And will you change during the the show? Personally, I think you'd look awesome and majestic in an epic dress or gown :)
Answer: Hi and thanks;=) I know now, yes;=) just some smaller things to fix but otherwise I know;=) We´ll see if I change or not...;=) A gown would be nice, I agree;=)07 September 2009 13:36
Chris said...
Hey Anette ;)
First. Thank you so much for giving us again the chance to ask you some questions :) I really really appreciate your intrest in us ;)
So my question is kinda dumb, and not very special.
Do you remember the gig you played in munich, germany on the 26.3.2009? There was this runway from the backstage area to the stage. After the gig i throwed a little heart shaped fluffy toy with a small letter pinned to it, wich said: To(for) Anette to the runway. Tuomas picked it up and took it backstage. So id like to know: Did you received the heart shaped dude with the letter?
You dont need to answer if you dont like, cause its not a very creative question ;)
Ok, Thank you very much :)
have a great day ;)
hope the sun shines as much as here (munich)
smile a lot
a biiiig huuuuuug
LOVE and RESPECT
your´s Chris
Answer: Hi Chris;=) I am not sure actually. I know I got a heart-shaped little fluffy thing on tour and I have it somwhere here, but if that was from you I am not sure. I will look and see;=)07 September 2009 13:45
Sonia said...
I'm a bit confused that how many sisters and brothers do you have?
Answers: Yeah, it´s because I have one real sister and one real brother, but then my parents are re-married and I have "pretend-sisters" that I call my sisters too;=) So, I only have two "real" ones;=)07 September 2009 14:01
Pei Fang Fon said...
Hello Ane,
Who's Anette before and after of Nightwish?
And what does she thinked about Brazil?
Thanks Anette for this opportunity.
Kisses and hugs from Brazil
Answer: I am not sure I understand your first question...sorry;=( I like Brazil, but it was very different to go there and meet the fans, since the fans there have a bit different way of showing their affection. Like, following me everywhere, even into the hotel and to the gym when I was exercising, screaming and hammering on the bus when we passed etc....that was something I wasnt used to since over here we are a bit more "distanced" to each other. But after some days I understood that it was just people being so warm and affected and now I have met some of the nicest people in the world and I want to come back again;=) Thanks!07 September 2009 14:07
Sidney Law said...
Hey Anette,
1) Have you come up with any futhur ideas for your album, like names? Song titles? What sort of musical direction you think you'll be going with?
2) Do you have any information on the duet you did with Rasmus? It seems everyone wants to hear it, yet there's no info anywhere.
Hope you're having a really good summertime and a nice day! :)
from Sidney.
Answer: 1: Not so concrete yet, we havent started working yet. Only me sitting here trying to compose what I can and then I will send it to Anders and we´ll see what they can do with it and what ideas they have over there. It will be rock but exactly how heavy or light we will see after starting trying things out. 2: Its on its way. The video should be ready any day now;=)07 September 2009 14:10

Hello, Anette!
First, my english is not perfect, so I'm sorry for some mistakes, ok ?
1 - I would like to know if you has the score of the music There will come a day! I heard you singing that song with a choir and I really enjoyed! I really would like to play that song and I think the arrangement of that song beautiful! Anyway, if you know where I can find the arrangement, please, tell me!
2 - Do you like Indica ? What do you think about then ?
3 - Will we hear you sing For the heart I once had someday ? For the heart I once had is my favorite song.
4 - What do you think of shows like Idol ?
Best of everything, I love you, Anette!
Answer: 1: My mum´s husband is the choir leader in the choir and he just listened to the original Faith Hill recording and then made his own arrangements. The original I dont know where to find but try with Faith Hills web page maybe?'2: Yes, they are cool:=) Nice girls;=)3: Not on this tour, no. But noone knows about next tour;=)4: I think its good for entertainment and it can help talented singers to get a contract, so I see nothing wrong with the shows. In the US series, the singers are incredibly talented and one of my favourite singers, Kelly Clarkson, came through that show and she has a great career. 07 September 2009 14:15
Daniel said...
Hi Anette, I have some questions that I would love if you could answear them =]
1. Can you say something about your first album?
2. After the last show, do you have any plan of going out on a trip with your family? To visit another country, for exemple. Or do you want just to stay home with your son?
3. Was the young Anette a good student?
Thank you so much
I love you! You are the best ;)
Answer: Hi and thanks for the nice words=) 1: Not so much at the moment, no. But you will be following the way of doing it via my blog so just read on and let´s see what will come out of it;=)2: No, I have the album to work with and then also some other things so there wont be any vacation now. We had a nice vacation in may in Cyprus and we´ll go somewhere in the winter time but now its school time for my son and I need to work;=)3: I was ok. I could have been so much better if I wasnt so tired of school the last years. But I had good grades. Not the best, but quite high;=) And I managed quite well i life even so;=)07 September 2009 14:24
escapeofthedoll said...
What do you think about animal cruelty? (you know, using their skin for making clothes, etc)
Answer:I dont like animal cruelty. I eat meat, wear leather clothes etc but I dont want them to suffer and I buy ecological products, give money to the nature protection here in Sweden. 07 September 2009 14:26
anna-disgrace said...
Is there any particular gig from over the course of the DPP tour that stands out as a favourite for you?
And if I can sneak a second... what is the funniest on-stage moment you have had with Nightwish?
I hope you are feeling relaxed and happy now touring is almost finished and you can slow down a bit!
Anna & the cats
Answer: I have been amazed of the fans in France and in Paris especially, they are amazing over there! And I must say Moscow was fantastic!! And of course, the gigs we have made in Sweden, my home country, has been sooo special to me;=)Oh, funniest moment? Hmm...I dont know...we always have had so nice gigs and some have been more happy than others of course. I think Moscow was a great one;=) I dropped the microphone etc... and then there have been some times when Marco have said some really funny things on stage...and the rest of us have had difficulties not breaking apart by laughter...;=)07 September 2009 14:29
Maria said...
Hi Anette :)
How is it for you to have a lot of fans from different countries all over the world?
I am a big fan from Nightwish but especially from you, because i think you have a very great character. :)
And how is it for you to know that there are lot of haters?
It is very stupid for me that I can not go to the gig in Helsinki, because it is to far away from Germany.
I adore you that you spend much time for read the comments.
Sorry for my bad English :)
Have a very great day.
Lots of Respect and Hugs :)
Maria
Answer: Its really nice to know that there are people all over the world that like and listen to me and the boys;=) Its a pity that there are people that need to "hate" and spread nasty things on the internet, but thats the down-side of having the freedom of internet. Luckily there are so much more people that are nice and spread love in the internet too and I prefer to read that and ignore the hate;=)07 September 2009 14:34
bornconfused5892 said...
1.Do you wear a different outfit at every show, or have you worn the same outfit at more than one?
2. On your solo album, might there be any songs in Swedish?
Thanks Anette =D
Max
Answer: 1: Yes, I have had it as my thing to have different outfits on every show. Of course some clothes and shoes have been worn more but I do try and make it new every time,2: No, I dont think this album will be in swedish, but we´ll see since it´s just in the starters still.07 September 2009 14:38

saeki85 said...
Hi Anette!
Great to hear that Moscow was a good show
As for the quiestions, I always have lots in my mind but right now I'm completly blank! So I may not be original with this:
1. Can you tell us how your album is going? Do you have any song ready?
2. This is the first time you write lyrics or you did it in Alyson Avenue? If that's the case, wich ones are yours?
3. There's a Nightwish song that you'd like to sing (that you haven't sing yet)?
That's it! I know my brain will start working soon and the good quiestions will come out, but I'll leave them to the next round.
Have a nice day!
Noelia.
Answer: 1: Its still in the starters since we are gonna start working on it in the end of september so at the moment its still nothing made or decided upon.2: I wrote lyrics in Alyson Avenue in the beginning. 3: I like 10th man down;=)07 September 2009 14:40
AL said...
Hello Anette,
How are you ? First, I would like to thanks you and guys for your show at "M'era Luna" festival !! It was so wonderful !
So, I have just one question for you: during this show, I gave to you and the band a swiss cow with two pictures. Did you have it ??
Kiss and lots of loves !!
Answer: Thanks you too for Mera luna;=) And no, I dont have that cow, maybe some of the boys do?07 September 2009 14:48
oceano.90 said...
Hi Anette! So.. Let's go:
1) How are you? (You know, it's serious.. Very often not many people ask you it)
2) Are you going to write any songs for the new Nightwish album?
3) Can you give me/us more information about your solo album?
4) When you'll come to Italy, would you like to go out with me for a dinner? (I'm 19, don't worry ;) )
Thank you very much!! <3 Bye!!
Answer: 1: I am fine, thanks;=) A bit of a head ache today but shouldnt complain;=) Hope you are fine too;=)2: I dont know yet, lets see if I have some ideas later on;=)3: See all the answers above;=)4: Thanks for the offer, lets see about that then;=)07 September 2009 14:51
LizLunatic said...
Hii Anette =D
1. What was the first song of Nightwish you ever heard, and what did you think of it?
2. What do you think of all the bad and rude reactions about you and your upcoming solo album?
3. Who is your favorite artist/band of all times
4. Do you have a nickname, if so what is it? ;p
5. What is the most beautiful place you have ever been?
6. Were you a 'Good Girl' when you were in school?, or were you more of a Badass? ;p
7. What do you think of the way Tuomas writes his songs, the things he writes about, and just overall his Masterpieces? (they're all Masterpieces in my opinion)
8. Do you have some tips for a girl that writes poetry and lyrics, and has no idea what to do in the future?
Well, hope you get the time to answer some of my silly questions =)
Hugs, Lisa
Answer:1: It was Ever dream and I liked it so much that that was the one and only song I recorded and sent to Tuomas when first applying to the job;=)2: I havent read anything bad or rude, only nice things;=). With all the hate I have gotten during these years I have learned to not care about the bad comments anymore.There will always be jealousy, envy and hate if you are a person in the spotlight.3: Oh, that is so hard...I like several and cant say one over the years, but I did love Def Lepard in my teenage years and also Europe;=)4: Its Nettan;=)5: There have been so many nice places during the world tour so hard to name one, but I did love the chinese wall and finnish Lapland. 6: I think I was quite good;=) But I did some things of course;=)7: I think they are really good. He writes in a more deeper way than the music I have been singing before. Not so "easy" songs. Not only love songs;=)8: Believe in yourself, listen inwards to what the inner you says to do with your life and talent. 07 September 2009 14:57
Nadja09 said...
Hey Anette, I know you have a boyfriend and Marco and Jukka have a wife and children, but do the other guys (Emppu and Tuomas) have a girlfriend or wife?
Thank you for making this question thing.
Hugs, Nadja
Answer: Hi Nadja;=) This is about someone elses personal life and I cant talk about that, sorry.07 September 2009 15:01
den) said...

Answer: I didnt see anything unfortunately, since we just arrived before the soundcheck and the gig;=( But I will come back and see all the sceneries another time.07 September 2009 15:07
Dimtris said...
Hello Anette,
I'm glad you're back. Seems like you had a great time in Moscow. :)
Here are my questions for you:
1. Are you kind of an outgoing person, or do you prefer staying at home with a few nice friends and just hang out with them?
2. About your gig in Greece.. I know the whole "organization" sucked. Both for you guys and us.. But we had a wonderful time anyway. :) I was so excited and overwhelmed! Oh my.. It was awesome! :P. We, as fans, were very disappointed by the March Metal Day organization and we know that you deserve MUCH better. The comment section of MMD was flooding of complaining comments the day after the show..Would you like to come back here in a gig, and a good organization? Because we are longing to see you again, so much. :(
3)Which song(except of the Nightwish ones) do you like to sing when you are relaxing?
So that's all, Nettie.^^
Take care,
Dimitris
Answer: 1: I am both;=) Some days I want to meet people and some I dont want to go outside at all... when I was younger I was much more outgoing than today. Today I prefer to sit at home much more. I guess I am getting older,=) 2. I am so sorry about the whole Greece incident. It was of course never the fans or audiences fault that things went bad over there. And of course we want to come back and play again;=) 3: I usually just sing something I make up myself;=) And then I sing to the music I listen to in the Ipod and that can be anything from Rihanna to Kamelot;=)07 September 2009 15:08
AnetteOlzonCentral.com said...
First i want you to thank you since i'll try to repeat my oooooold questions.
An extra-question before i begin, that is an idea I have had:
"Since you are always the one who has to reply to all of these questions...WOULDN'T IT BE COOL IF IT IS YOU ASKING QUESTIONS TO US 1 time? =]"
1. What's your opinion on plastic/cosmetic surgery?
2. Let's talk about money: from your experience so far, do you think it can change you somehow? Do you spend more for you or your dears;=D ?
3.Are you a religious/spiritual person? Beyond respect to others stuff and bla bla bla, have you been given any religious education as a child? Do you believe in God?
4. What's your experience as a student? Did you get University degree or what?
5. Can you tell us what was your job/s just before Nightwish?
6.Were you blonde the first time you met the guys? :=)
7.About your toyota corolla;=) did you sell it? As I tried to told you so many times, an italian couple -they are my friends- that live in sweden, wanted to buy it and so they needed details....... :=(((((((((( I've never managed to get them....
8.Did you send your very first demo to nightwish by e-mail or air mail?
Answer: Hi! yes, I think its a great idea that I will ask you questions, so I will do that soon;=)1: I think its up to everyone to decide if they want to fix something or not, but of course I dont think it should be so much that the faces etc are "lost" under a new face...2. I have been both poor and had more money during my life so far and I have always, no matter what I have earned, spent money and given to my close ones. I love to spoil the ones I love and I live by the motto: live today-tomorrow might be to late;=)3: I am a spiritual person and a believer. I have been going to sunday school etc but havent had anyone in my family who have believed, so its been my own beliefs. My beliefs have helped me through many bad times and I pray every day.4. I have studied in the university, yes. I took classes in Project Management, coaching, psychology, group psychology and sociology.5. I have worked with many different things in life. I started working extra in the weekends when I was 15 in a a hamburger place. Then as a waitress in restaurants for 2 years before being a telephone sales person, followed by working in offices for many years as both a receptionist, secretary, web designer and procect assistant. Then I studied to be a hair dresser and started my own company. The time when I applied for NW I studied in the university to be a coach;=) 6: Yes, very blond;=)7: It was a Volvo V50 and yes, its sold;=)07 September 2009 15:09
Katrin said...
Yay - another round of questions, great!
Here are my questions:
1. Do you like to sing "Sacrament of Wilderness" and is there a reason why it is not played that often live anymore? I personally find it a real shame because you can rock this song so much!
2. What was the reaction of the guys when they heard you were planning a solo album? Did they offer help or advice?
3. If you could turn back time and change one thing you were doing or saying since you were Nightwish (gigs, interviews etc.), what would that be?
Thank you for taking the time,
Katrin
Answer: 1: I love to sing it;=) I dont know why, its Tuomas who makes the set lists;=)2: They have been positive to it. Emppu has offered guitar help;=)3: I dont want to change history, since I think its better to just move on;=)07 September 2009 15:10
helminiemenen said...

Mery said...
Hey Nettan!!! I have a few queations for you:
1 - Do you want to play in Brazil again? Did you like playing here?
2 - Do you remember what was the best gig here?
3 - Do you have someone to do your make up and hair before the gigs or you do them yourself?
4 - Do you miss being on tour already?
Kiss and hugs to you!
Answer: 1: Yes, I do;=)2: I liked Manaus;=)3: No, normally I always do the hair and make-up myself. There are some rare occasions when I have help, like next weekend in Hartwall I have a make-up artist with me since its such a big gig;=)4: No, I dont miss it that much at the moment, but I guess I will later on;=) Right now I enjoy being home. 07 September 2009 15:13

kostas stavrou said...
i have a question too. how did you decided to rehearse for nightwish and what do you believe was the factor tha granted you the position?
Answer: I wanted to get a job as a full-time singer and heard from a friend that the band NW needed a singer. I listened to the music and liked what I heard, The rest is history;=) I think Tuomas liked my voice and when we all met we got along really well and were at the same level.07 September 2009 15:17
Valantis said...
Anette I don't know if this has been asked before (there are so many comments!) but what was your greatest time in your whole nightwish tour??? Dont ask about a bad moment because it should be forgotten!!! hehe ;) and what other instrument you would like to know how to play??
Wish you good luck at Hartwall Arena :D
Answer: I think when we won the Echo Award in Berlin, Germany! That was awesome!!! I want to learn to play the guitar and the piano better and I would love to learn how to play the violin;=)07 September 2009 15:18

Herta said...
Dear Anette,
I'm very excited cause I've missed the previous occasions!
1.In all the different places where you are travelling do you try out the traditional food from that particular region or do you prefer to eat something you usually eat at home?
2.Now when you have only one show left from your world tour, which was the most unusual situation you have experienced during all those months being on tour?
Thanks for everything!
Love,
Hertaa
Answer: 1: I try out some things if I have the chance to get to some traditional restaurant. 2: Oh, i dont know...there have been so many unusual things that have happened;=)07 September 2009 15:22
Janina said...
Hi Anette!
1) I would like to have the uniform jacket you were wearing in Moscow, but it seems it can't be found on the site of Nolita. :-( Do you know a webshop where they sell a similiar one?
2) Will you go on tour with your solo album?
3) Do you think of creating your own clothing label? Would be cool. :)
4) Where did you spend your most beautiful vacation so far?
Greetings and hugs,

Hi Anette=)
I don't wanna bore you with many questions, I just have a few.
1) Is it hard to learn finnish?
2) Why do you all live so far away from each other? Wouldn't it be easier to live close to each other?
3) Where did you learn to sing that fantastic?
Hope you will answer!
love Celina!
Answer: 1: Yes, I havent learned it and probably wont...its sooo different from our language.2: Well, I dont wanna move to Finland and the guys dont wanna move here, so;=)3: Thanks so much;=) I was born with this voice and I guess someone in the universe wanted me to be able to sing like this;=) I have been singing all my life so I guess just trying out different music styles have made it sound like this;=)07 September 2009 15:27
lee jackman said...

IronMario said...
ok, 2 "little" questions:
1. your album: any plans to include a duet with some other vocalists? some guest musicians? :)
2. Nightwish: Tuomas said in interviews that there will be "a big twist" on the next record and he wants to fulfill a dream with the upcomming album ...whatever that means, it sounds interesting :). I know you probably can't tell anything yet. But if you know somehting...maybe a little hint? ;-) I guess you must be very excited about the next record!? :)
have a great week miss olzon! :)
Answer:1: Nothing planned yet;=)2: I have no idea what he means;=)07 September 2009 15:38

Hey, Anette! =)
When Nightwish was in Brazil, it was fantastic, but the incident in Belo Horizonte made me feel bad! =(
So, how do you feel about Brazil?
We really love you so much! Nightwish is one of the most loved bands in here!
I just hope you forgive us and come back soon!
We have a "different" way to show our feelings, and I know it must be very strange for you, but... It's just different! =)
Well... I hope you have a wonderful day! =)
Kisses and love from Brazil! <3
Answer: Yes, it was a sad incident but the rest of the tour over there went super,=) I loved Brazil and I want to go back;=)07 September 2009 15:51

David said...
Hej Anette! Jag undrar bara över ett svar som du gav på en intervju, där sa du att nästan alla bandmedlemmar har ett sidoprojekt bara för att det är roligt, men att med Nightwish är det bara arbete. Är inte Nightwish också roligt på samma sätt? Eller handlar det om att få göra något alldeles eget? jag ber om ursäkt på förhand om det här lät barskt men det är absolut inte min avsikt.
Svar: Jag menade att NW är ju allas "arbete" precis som att du säkert har ett arbete varje dag du går till. Det kan vara roligt vissa dagar men mindre roligt andra. Vi har ju inte så mkt inflytande musikaliskt i NW och det är det som är skillnaden mellan vårt arbete i NW och våra sidoprojekt. Man kan ta det lite lättare och göra det mer bara för skojs skull. Om du är med mig?=) Sedan att NW inte är roligt, menade jag aldrig;=)07 September 2009 16:04
Alexandre R. said...
Hello Anette, I've been reading your blog for some time, but this is my first comment here :-)
Hera are some questions for you ^^:
- What is your favourite song from each Nightwish album? And the least favorite one?
- This one is killing a lot of people: will your solo album be more like.... hard rock? have metal influences? be ballad driven? Hope you don't mind ^^
- How well do you mes with computers? Like, when things start getting weird do you take it to a technical assistance right away or fix it by yourself?
- Do you try to incentivate your son in the musical world, like your mother did by taking you touring with her? Does he show any sign that he'd like to follow his mommy's path? ^^
- What do you think of social networks (orkut, my space)
- Do you keep in touch with the Alyson Avenue guys? Met their new vocalist? Bet they are great people ^^
Thanks for your time, and hope I didn't ask too much xD
Answer: 1: I cant tell one from every album. I like most of the songs through out NW history but think Once and DPP are the best ones. 2: dont know yet...;=)3: I have been working by a computer for many years so if its a software thing I try and fix it myself but if its a bigger problem I ask for help;=)4: No, I dont. Of course I would love for him to do some music but I wil never try and push him in that direction;=)5; I think it can be good to network.6: I talk to Niclas often. Havent met the singer yet. Yeah, they are all great guys;=)07 September 2009 16:05

Hey Anette, thank you so much for taking this time to answer our questions :)
I'm not sure of this one, that's why I wanna ask you: the new album will be out in 2010 or 2011?
Do you like Indica? Maybe it's too soon to know but if you already know or have an idea of who will be your guest in the next european tour and can tell us, will be Indica? I hope so ;)

I was waiting for this ^^
So, I have a few questions:
1- If you could sing any song of those very very old NW songs that haven't been played in years, ¿Wich one would it be?
2- In your opinion ¿Wich one of the NW guys is the cutest? (This was absolutely random xD)
3- Are you a good songwriter?¿Would you write a song for NW?
4- When your new CD comes out could you please come by Venezuela? I'm absolutely hoping to see you guys here
Answer:; 1: 10th man down;=)2: They are all so cute and nice;=)3: No, I dont call myself a songwriter, I havent done it so much. But I do believe I have a good melody head since I have been singing so much. Lets see if Anders will laugh at what I send him;=)4: I would love to come there;=)07 September 2009 16:44

Hi Anette!
I have just one question. It is about your singing. You have a great voice!!! I have read before that you don't like to sing in a classical way. My question is: wouldn't it be interesting to learn a little classical singing technique just for fun, and for broading the choices of what you can do with your voice?
Have a great time and a great coming concert at Hartwall arena!
Sorry if this post showed up twice... The web page goofed on me. :-/
Hugs
/Veronika
Answer: Hi! Well, I wouldnt mind singing classic and I have actually said several times to my vocal coach I use now and then that it would be nice to learn more but we have focused on the voice I have since I have had so busy schedule. But when I do my warm-ups I do use classical exercises too to get better at it;=)07 September 2009 16:45
Andrzej said...
1. Have you ever thinking about a duet with another female metal vocalist like Liv Kristine, Simone Simons or maybe Angela Gossow? ;)What's your favourite rock/metal singer?
Answer: That has crossed my mind, yes;=)07 September 2009 16:48
Falyssa said...
Good afternoon, Anette(it's still morning here :P)
1. I've been scouring the net trying to find idea's for when I get my hair done professionally on the 24th, and I was wondering, do you have any good pictures from when you had your hair black with the pink/purple hunk in it? I'd like to get something along the lines of that, and I can't seem to find any decent pictures that show enough of your hair off.(sorry if it was a dorky question)
2. Did you ever see the movie The Day After Tomorrow? It's one of my favorite movies(I like the natural disaster movies for some reason.)
3.Are you getting excited about performing at Hartwall, and what do you plan to do after?
4. Will you ever take a vacation in the US?
Hugs, and love,
Falyssa
Answer: Hi Falyssa;=) As a hair dresser I can advice on how to do to get that right:=) Either you blond the stripes before colouring with a really purple colour. The risk is then that the purple will fade away very fast so I recommend you to put in the purple by using extensions. Gocciani is the brand I use for extensions and they are glued on;=)2: Yes, I have seen it and I liked it;=)3:_ Yes, it will be great;=) I am gonna do the solo after that;=)4: I will!07 September 2009 16:52

Hey Anette! I am glad to hear you had a great time in Moscow! :)
And as for my question, I was wondering if Tuomas has written any songs in Swedish, or was possibly planning on doing so????
Have a nice day! :)
Nadia
Answer: I dont think so;=)07 September 2009 17:05
Zolena said...
Hi Anette. :) It´s nice to hear that you enjoyed the gig in Moscow. Here´s one question for you:
If you were to make a cover version of one song, any song in the world, what song would you choose and why?
Answer: Oh...wow! Thats a good question;=) I believe it would be either a Michael Jackson song or a Roxette song;=)07 September 2009 17:08
Todd said...
Good morning Anette! :-D I only have three questions ...
1. Are there any plans for you to do a duet with Tony Kakko (on your solo album, maybe?) You and him have the most beautiful voices in the world, in my humble opinion :-)

Thank you so much!
Love and blessings from sunny Canada,

KellieBent said...
Hi Anette :)
Do you see yourself as a role model? and do you think you make a good role model.
What other items do you plan to put in your own merchandise? any jewellery?
Good luck with the solo album :)
All my love and support.
Love Kellie xxx
Answer: No, I dont. I am just Anette, with flaws and imperfections as anyone else. But of course as a public person and with younger fans out there, I think of what I do and say. And as a mother even more so;=)2: I want some jewellery in there and hopefully sometime my own little clothing designs;=)
