Preparations

Hi all and a very happy tuesday!

This week I prepare myself for next week when we continue our tour and I am so longing;=) We start in Gothenburg - SWEDEN!!! Oh, I just love it! My own country!!;=) And then Copenhagen, which is also my "home town" since its so close to Helsingborg where we live. And the best part is that these two gigs will be visited by my family members and friends. So, very special evenings;=)

To prepare myself I look at videos from this tour to see which stage outfits I like the most and want to use in Europe. Then I also check if I´m gonna add a new one and so on. There will be many of the same dresses from before since I love to wear dresses;=)

Then I also do more singing to get all the lyrics there. Even if I sing them often its a lot of lyrics to remember;=)

I also have to fix such "shallow" things as getting my nails done, my hair roots dyed and getting new things for the make-up bag like false eye lashes. I use a lot of lashes and they only last for 2-3 shows and then I need new ones.

Then I also need to see to that Nemo´s stuff and clothes are washed and ready for the long tour, since he and Johan are gonna be with us from Amsterdam and onward. Seth will join for Gothenburg and Copenhagen but since he has school he needs to stay in Sweden with his father.

So today I need to go to the dry cleaner to leave some dresses for cleaning and if my mum is home in the afternoon, me and the kids will visit her while Johan is working.

Here´s one of the outfits that I love and this will be going with me in Europe;=)

  1. Oh damn I love that Nemo-Video!
    This song rocks in an acoustic version. To be honest: I never really liked it when you sang it or when Tarja sang it live.

    But acoustic its awsome! Great job!
    Time to think about an acoustic (live?) album ;)

  4. I love that outfit! It really helped make the show what it was! :)

    I love the girl in the audience of this video singing along. I think she makes a really good back up for your voice. :)

  8. Hello. Oh, how dynamically is your time now.
    I try to feel what it is to sing in your country, among your friends.
    Experience will be GREAT.
    I'll share my humble opinion.
    I love your vision of the concert in Paviljonki Areena, Jyväskylä(Finland). Wonderful dress, beautiful hair and makeup.
    I think that long hair added you additional splendor. I love long hair.
    But you always look so elegant and beautiful, as I'm sure that will make the best choice.
    With best wishes - Rositsa

  10. Hej Anette!
    Kan inte vänta till den 10:e, kommer bli så jäkla awesome \m/ Jag kommer nog att gråta i massor :D min första NW konsert....

    Läste precis att du också har gjort högskoleprovet! mattedelen var ju helt omöjlig, jag chansade på ALLA uppgifterna :D
    efteråt köpte jag och min kompis varsin Ben & Jerry's och satt och åt dem medan vi klagade över hur dåligt det gick :D

    men i alla fall, ha en fortsatt trevlig dag :)

  11. God dag Anette!

    You have many errands to do before the tour! You know, I don't care about those "shallow" things :) The only thing I care about in a gig is to hear your music and voice and see that you guys are having fun on the stage :)

    I have wondered a looong time how I could describe you how I hear your voice. Now I know! I think your voice sounds like a stream of diamonds :) That's the first thing what comes into my mind when I hear you singing.

  12. Anette, you look amazing! And you sing great! You definitely proved yourself for being the best female singer to fit in Nightwish! I'm glad they chose you! You deserve it!
    Thanx for doing what you do!
    Hugs,
    Thea

  14. I understand about the lyrics, Anette. I'm a singer too and the thing I find most difficult is remembering all the lyrics. It's happening more and more as I get older. Scary!

    Lovely version of Nemo. It really suits your voice.

    Enjoy the tour!

  15. Hi Anette
    I'm looking forward to new concerts, they are so epic and amazing. I like your outfits, especially black and white dress from Helsinki concert and "slow love slow" hat.
    I like accoustic nemo so much, it's perfect, wish there was studio version of it
    and also I like that you named your son Nemo,wonderful name, when I have children in the future one of them will be called Nemo for sure

  16. What a beautiful version of this song you sing Anette, its so suited to being acoustic, and your voice and your expression of it is amazing. Loved the make-up you wore on this video, and that is a lovely dress!
    Looking forward to hearing about the next leg of the tour.

  19. Wow, acoustic-Nemo is one of my favourite ever! I've never like it done in metal version either, so the acoustic one is just awesome! It always makes my fly into a dream, leading by your beautiful voice! And it was like embody wonder when I listened to it in Kiev. So, thanks for the song ;)
    And your outfit in this video is increadibly beautiful, I love your dress so much and the make-up :)
    Hugs and kisses.

  21. Sing to the tune of Nemo:

    Oh how I wish
    That Anette wears
    Her black feather dress again

    :P

    In all seriousness, I think you look divine in that dress so I hope you do wear it again.

    *hugs*

  26. Dear Anette, can I make you a suggestion? Why don't you try to sing 'Feel For You'? I think it is an awesome and beautiful song, and since a time ago I've wished you to sing it. Could be great =) and I keep saying that the acoustic version of Nemo is just moving, and touch the soul fibers.
    Oh, and because of the outfits that you've weared at the begining of the tour, I just thought you would wear outfits inspired by fairy tale characters... You know, Cinderella, Snow White, maybe Alice? LOL but you always surprise us =)
    Well, good luck in the next shows!
    Big hugs from Mexico =D

  28. Goood one. Though, I liked playing of it in Moscow and Kiev, which I saw myself much more =)

  29. Since the beginning I trust your capacity to sing in Nightwish, the last album is a masterpiece and your voice have the same status for me. People doubted you were capable of singing Nightwish musics before Dark Passion Play, I never did it. You made the song even more romantic than before.

    I'm brazilian and I know that you suffered in a show in one of brazilian cities, but please know that a lot of brazilian people loves you. I would love to see you singing with your wonderful and unique voice musics like Nemo and Wishmaster as you sing in this video.

    I am from Porto Alegre, Brazil, far away from the city where that sad thing happened, Nightwish was already here in a tour years ago and I hope I have the chance to listen to you singing the Nightwish classics and Imaginaerum, to me the best Nightwish album ever made.

    Hugs from your fan.

  30. Dear Anette,

    I'm SO SORRY you can hear me in the video. I turned bright pink when I realized that! It's just that Nemo was the song that first introduced me to Nightwish and inspired me to study music; hearing it live in an acoustic arrangement was breathtaking and I kinda got lost in the moment. When I see you on tour next time I promise to shut up! Love you tons.
