Hello dear Nettie :)
First of all...how are you?
-Can you tell something new about Imaginarium?
-Are you going to release your solo album and when?
-How was on the concert in Croatia? I hope you will come again =)
-Are there any news about Imaginarium movie?

Answer:

Hi Ena;=) I am just fine, thanks for asking!

- Well, not so much. Just that the movie is taking its form now and I am eager to go and do my parts in september;=)
- I am sure I will but since I am occupied with NW next year it wont happen until after that but I am working on it and have asked a very close friend of mine to do some mixing of some of the songs to see what he´ll come up with and my hope is that I can release it on my own the day I release it. We´ll see what happens!
- Good;=)
- Not more than before, no.

Hello Anette!
I'm Eva from Romania. I'd really like to know if you guys will have some concerts here when the new album comes out?
-cuz i will be there! Period-
and if you ever thought to give up singing even when things didn't go as planned cuz, well ...i'm kinda having some problems fulfilling my dreams, it's kinda complicated. So i wondered what kept you going, besides your passion for singing, your dreams, etc. because life can really suck sometimes -pardon my french-.
Thank you for taking your time to do this!

Answer:

Hi Eva;=)
- I dont know anything about where we´ll have gigs for the coming tour so I cant answer that. It´s the management who fixes with these things;=)
- I understand that feeling you have for sure. There´s been so many times in my life when I have been so down and lacking the positive feeling that I someday will be able to do what I love and sing for a bigger audience. And it is hard to get past that but all I can say is that for me, singing is a cure to make me feel better when I am sad, discouraged and lack of hope. It´s also what I need to do when I feel love and happiness so I need music and to sing in my life. Even if I never would had gotten the opportunity to work as a singer I would always sing. Cause for me, it´s in my essence as a human being. So, all I can say is that even if you never get to that point you dream of, continue singing if it makes you feel good;=) If it doesnt and it gives you pain, dont do it. Keep the strength and lots of encouragement from me;=)

Hello Anette,

You told us here on the blog some time ago that you had no specific time of releasing your solo album... Have you made up your mind? Since you released your demos I (and I guess everybody here) have been longing for it! If you can say anything about it, I would appreciate ^^

Answer:

Hi Leandro;=)
- Same answer as I answered Eskoplja;=)

Good evening Anette,

So, first of all, I wanted to thank you for giving us this opportunity to ask you some questions, I really appreciate that :). I actually have quite a few, but since I know you always get so many questions, I won’t post all of them.

1: If you were to rate your blog, would be E (everyone) or more like PG13?

2: So, I understand that probably none of the old Era Songs will ever be recorded with your voice, but if some of them were, do you think they would sound very different from your live versions? Or pretty similar?

3: Do you ever enjoy any of the time you spend in the tourbus with the guys and the crew? Or is that pretty much always a stressful and not so fun part of touring?

4: What was one of your favorite states to visit in the USA? And why?

5: Are there any clothes that you wore on stage that you still wear sometimes?

6: You’ve shared pictures of yourself when you were really little with us before, so I was wondering if you’d ever share pictures from when you were a teenager or maybe when you were in your 20s?

7: How long has it been since you last had your natural haircolor?
8: When choosing your stage outfits, I know you mentioned that you try to do something that goes with whatever country your playing in, but aside from that and obviously picking something that you like and that is your kind of style, do you base it off of anything else? Like trying to portray the image and elements of Nightwish itself?

Answer:

Hi Alexandra;=)
- I think it´s for everyone.
- I think they would sound quite the same but of course doing recordings in a studio gives you more time and also the possibility to re-do if anything doesnt sound perfect so it would probably sound a little bit different in that way.
- I do enjoy the tour bus and the guys:=) But after some weeks we all are quite fed on it and that´s why it´s so nice to get back home to your own place, your own bed and it makes you appreciate the "normal life" more.
- I really liked Seattle, Los Angeles and New York.
- I am sure I will;=)
- Maybe, if I find any good ones where I dont look like a dork;=)
- Since I was 17
- I mainly took clothes I liked to wear in DPP tour and there were good and bad outfits I think;=) For the next tour I think it will be some differences but I cant say more than that now.
