But now I am in Savonlinna and have some time before our first gig here tonight so here comes an update...
Tuesday 11/8:
Arrived to Stockholm and immediately had to leave to the rehearsals with the orchestra and choir in Berwaldhallen. I was so inredibly nervous and when we came there they just threw me in in front of 70 orchestra people who I had to stand and look at while singing...for those who know me real close, knows I get incredibly nervous when being in that kinda situation...so, I didnt feel the rehearsal went so well and didnt get more than 20 min so it felt very worrying afterwards...
But my mum came to Stockholm and she comforted me and gave me strength, which I needed;=)
In the evening we checked out Stockholm and had a look at the stage I was gonna perform, met my family and some friends and it was nice.

aww you shouldn't be nervous at all.. because we..your fans are always very very satisfied of your perfomance.. you are really amazing..i saw two videos of this live with the orchestra.. i completely lost my words.. you were absolutely amazing :=)
ReplyDeleteHey Nettie! How are you? I hope that you are feeling fine=)
ReplyDeleteI saw your performance of Meadows Of Heaven and Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan. It was soooo wonderful! Sooooo touching! Your voice sounded beautiful there! The beauty of the performance brought tears into my eyes.
And ofc , mother will always help to her daughter ;)
Good luck on the gig
I wish you all the best
Hugs and take care
Love

HEP HEP HEP♥
Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat's right in the center of the city, isn't it? I think I remember it from the time I went to Stockholm! Right across the water from the Royal Palace, right?
O.O
That must've been amazing! I saw videos and you were so incredible Anette! Meadows of Heaven was so beautiful and the part at the end blew me away! Surprised you're not a soul singer XD
Even though I'm not Finnish, I can still tell your Finnish needs a little work, though XD
But Kuolema was beautiful anyway! Great job, I'm proud that you tackled that songs =D.
Keep being awesome!!!!

Hi anette...here is thamy from brazil...i never will forget the great show in brasília, my city...i dream every single day, imagine when nightwish will came here again...do you know when it will happen???...
ReplyDeletekisses, i love your voice and you...good look in Stockholm
I saw some video of the performance and I must say I was really impressed. Very good job Anette.
ReplyDeleteHi, Anette! :) Hope you're feeling much better now, after a few days!!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to congratulate you on your performance.Watched them on youtube.Of course, the quality is not so good but you handled the songs amazingly well.Kuudos for you!!! Even if you say you were feeling a bit uncomfortable..just brilliant!
I saw few songs you performed in youtube and i must say it was really beautiful for my ears :)!. "Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan" was a really positive suprise and you pulled it off so perfectly. Be proud of yourself :)!!.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you were so nervous. New and hectic situation with maybe not so familiar people. It's not gonna happen tonight..have a great show!. :)
Hi Anette!
ReplyDeleteWell, that must have been a really dificult situation. But, being nervous an all, your performance was flawless!!! MoH was incredible, such power in your voice! and the ending was really, REALLY good. I loved it!
And as for Kuolema, what can I say, it was never one of my Nw favourites but now... now I can't stop listen, I have the Youtube video on "repeting" since yesterday, once again the ending was different but marvelous!
Thank you soooo much for such impeccable performance!
Lots of love.
Noelia
You did an AMAZING job singing kuolema and meadows, we're all so proud of you :D
ReplyDeleteHey Anette^^
ReplyDeleteNice! sounds like you had some nice moments and fun ;) thats wonderful, I hope you are doing fine :)
have a nice time, keep up smiling
BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG HUGS :)
Love and Respect
your´s Chris ;)
Hi Anette! =)
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing fine. I just came home and a friend of mine sent me a text message telling me that I should check my email with urgency, because it was very important xD. I was worried, but then I saw what she sent me: 2 great videos of you singing 'Meadows Of Heaven' and 'Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan'. I'm totally speechless ... The videos are so but SOOO BEAUTIFUL! You are amazing =), congratulations on those great performances. You never fail to amaze me =).
Lots of love,
Barbara
We all know and understand how busy you may be.
ReplyDeleteEven though you may have been nervous,
I saw videos of your performance
yesterday and you were AMAZING! I loved it.
Oh, and you also looked gorgeous,
your hair was so pretty!!! I really loved
it curled like that :D
Either way, I couldn't tell
that you were nervous at all ;=)
And I really liked hearing
you sing "Meadows of Heaven" live. I cried,
it was so beautiful,
it always gives me chills!
Hugs and love, Katie T.
Hi Anette!
ReplyDeleteYou were singing very beautiful! I have listened both songs (KTT and MoH)... and I almost cry... Thank you! Hope you feeling better now, although you had such a shitty week.
Have a nice gig in Savonlinna.
Hugs, love
Tanja
Don't worry about your absence. We understand that you are busy.
ReplyDeleteI have heard you singing Kuolema tekee taiteilijan in a YouTube clip and I have to say that you were amazing! You can really sing it in finnish. I don't understand why you haven't played it with Nightwish. You make that song so much more interesting than Tarja Turunen ever did. And Meadows of Heaven sounded also very beautiful. You are very good singer!
You also looked very nice!
Hi Anette!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this photos!!
love
isabelle
Dear Anette, I saw some videos in Youtube and I think it was wonderful! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to cry while I was watching the videos! Really, really amazing!
I've always wanted to hear you singing Meadows of Heaven!!!!!! And Kuolema tekee Taitelijan was OH MY GOD! Congratulations :)
Perfect voice, fantastic dress and really nice hair. Of course, the orchestra was amazing too!
You're the best!!!!
Hey Anette oh my god i just watched a video of you in the Stockholm concert..it sounds really really good!congrats! it almost make me cry :)
ReplyDeletedon't be nervous! go kick some butt girl!
ReplyDeleteI saw your performances on youtube..excellent job! What was it like singing 'kuolema tekee taiteilijan'? :D Finnish is such a difficult language to speak let alone sing..well done!
ReplyDeleteMeadows of Heaven was beautfiul..i can't stop listening to it..your voice is so clear and strong. :D
I saw the vids of your performance on YouTube, and I've got to say I'm stunned :) You sang both songs beautifully, the only way to top them would be to play them during a Nightwish show ;)
ReplyDeleteHugs! And have a lovely evening :)
Kat
i took a peek of your perfomance...
ReplyDeleteyou really shocked me! it was beautiful!
realle really hope to see soon again in chile..
the Nightwish Chile Community misses you a lot!
I've seen some videos on youtube where you sing "Medows of heaven" and "kuolema tekee taieilijan" - you did an amzing job!!
ReplyDeleteI love your live versions of this song
maybe you're going to sing these songs together with Nighwish on stage *.* It would be amazing
hugs
Cony
Hi Anette, I have seen the video recordings from both songs and I have to tell you: you were absolutely smashing! If you were nervous, you really could not tell. You have sung so crystal clear and which such strong emotions, it gave me goosebumps. Absolutely fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask why Meadows of Heaven was faster than the original? Was it in order for the orchestra to be able to play better?
I really liked the different version. Also the strong end of Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan! How great you sung this song in Finnish!
oohh poor anette: 70 orchestra people.. i understand the circumstance ;=)
ReplyDeleteHow are you anyway? I'm sure kulan ispired you to sing ;=)... I checked your performance on youtube at suomi safari and i can say you definitely improved your tecnique actually...congratulations! What did you do to make your voice softer like this? Is that new exercises or the same you told us (C. Sadolin maybe?)??
It's strange to see you performing kuolema for the pronunciation, but regarding the softness of the voice you did very well!
I noticed you improved tune (intonation how do you say?) and decision as you hit the notes...
I'm proud
:=)
hope to hear from you soon and i cannot wait to see your stuff from ebay ;=P
Kisses, Poochie
Hey Nettan!
ReplyDeleteDo not feel sorry about the absence, we'll understand very well if you haven't time/energy to post there something every single day. And it's the most important that you write your blog when you feel you want to do it and when you have enough time to do it. It's so unaccountably great you have that kind of blog and we all are able to read it. :) You are the best.
I haven't ever been in that kind of situation you were, but I understand your nervousness. I guess it's harder to sing in front of orchestra than in front of a big audience (where all of your fans are screaming and they know you rock and they don't care if you make a little mistake or something - I'm not sure did you get the point but I tried to explain my thoughts as good as I can ;=)
I'm so sad I can't come to Savonlinna. I had a tickets but at the moment my mom is so ill that I wanna be with her (you never know is this the last day...). I hope you understand. But I really wish you all the best and have a GREAT gig!
Kristina
hello anette
ReplyDeleteI wanted to congratulate you,
your wonderful performance, perfect !!
cry a lot of emotion *-*
thanks for bringing your beautiful voice
kisses LuD
Good luck to you in Savonlinna, darling!!! You'll be amazing as well ;)))
ReplyDeletehugs ^__^
Hello Anette!
ReplyDeleteI saw you sing. I just want you to know that you did a wonderfull job! It was great hearing you sing in Finish! :-) Hope you will show the Nightwish guys that song! ;-) I think they will be impressed.
Have a great gig tonight!
/V
Anette!!!!! Thank you thank you son much for those songs!! *.* You were amazing!! I knew you were going to sing Meadows of Heaven (a song that I love) and Kuolema Tekee taiteilijan was a great surprise! =D
ReplyDeleteI hope you will perform these songs againg with the guys in a special concert or something because you did it really well, and Meadows of Heaven is a perfect song for your voice. It would be great if you perform it more times. Thank you so much again, you gave us an amazing present *.*
Kisses Anette!
Hello Anette,
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how nervous you were. I get very, very nervous every time I have to speak or do something in front of a crowd, my hands get shaky. I feel like I would go crazy :P
By the way, I watched you singing Meadows Of Heaven and Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan. I have no words to describe your performance on Suomi Safari, it was absolutely...wonderful, phenomenal. Meadows Of Heaven is one of my favorite song of DPP and I was waiting for this moment, I felt so good listening to you singing. You sang really, really beautiful, as always, and you were so stunning.
Hope you had a great festival!
Take care,
Fábio
Hi and thanks for posting^^. I was wondering what happened lol =]. I'm happy to see you are better.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs^^
Awwl, i understand *hugs*
ReplyDeleteLove LOVE the pictures :)
Hopefully, nothing goes wrong there in Savolinna
Have a lovely gig-day ;)
Hugs and my love,
Falyssa
I know what you mean--- it's easier for me to sing for a crowd than a small group of people. I'm sure you'll be fine! Everyone has off days, too.
ReplyDeleteHej Anette!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. I saw YouTube videos of your performance in Stockholm, and I have to say with all my heart that you were absolutely amazing!!!! I was sure you were going to be great, but I was even more impressed than I expected! =) You sang so beautifully, with great power, sweetness and emotion. Your personality was shining through the song and it was beautiful =) I think nobody could tell that you were nervous, you did a wonderful job.
I hope you're feeling better after the sadness of the past few days.
I wish you a great time in Savonlinna! =)
Love and hugs,
Elisa
Meadows of Heaven was amazing Anette! You made me teary just watching the youtube video! And Kuolema was pretty damn awesome as well!!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a nice weekend. :-)
Take care,

I've seen the videos on YouTube, you sounded amazing! Really great to hear Meadows of Heaven live. Hopefully someday you can do it with Nightwish as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that your mum came to see you and comfort you. I watched your performance at the Suomi Safari on YouTube and thought you were amazing.
ReplyDeleteHope you and the boys have a great gig tonight.
Hey Anette... I just want to say that you were AWESOME!!! Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan is much better song with you!!! I cant stop listening it on youtube! XD And Finally Meadows Of Heaven LIVE!!! You should performed it when you were in Croatia, April 2nd... (the best concert of my life) :D
ReplyDeleteThanks 4 performing those 2 songs :D
Greetings from Croatia :P
Love, Grudge
Hey Anette, good to see you online again! I'd love it if sometime when you've got time you checked out my blog (http://mistylavrangue.blogspot.com/) where I posted an overexcited entry when I saw the videos of your songs in Stockholm!
ReplyDeletexx

ReplyDeleteYesterday I was watching a movie and I just realised how much u look like Michele Pfeiffer! Sorry if u disagree, but she's really beautiful and I think u r as well ;D
Excelent performance on Suomi Safari! Congratz!
Kisses from Brazil.
I saw the videos from Suomi Safari and I wanted to congratulate with you, because it's been a wonderful performance :) Well done.
ReplyDeleteI've checked the videos of your performance and... How to say... You were simply amazing! Meadows of Heaven was a song I always wanted to see live, and I was really impressed by the way you sang it: as perfectly as in the album, which is not an easy thing to do, but with more power ever!
ReplyDeleteAnd the end of the song... Wow, you did the job sooo great, you can't imagine how far...
Concerning the Finnish song (I'm not going to write this impossible title haha), I will repeat myself but it was very beautiful, you added a lot of emotion comparing to the original version ;P I can't judge your accent, because I'm not a Finnish myself, but I'm sure you worked a lot to be that awesome :)
Well, congratulations, you're a strong woman, I admire you more than I can say!
Lucinda

ANETTE!!! YOUR PERFORMANCE OF Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan -not in caps cuz it had to be cut and pasted since I cannot spell Finnish- WAS SOOOOO AWESOME!!!! IT REALLY MADE MY DAY ^_^
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you...singing all pretty and being so brave despite the sorrow in your life. Keep singing and having a blast!!!
Let me tell you something: I've seen you singing kuolema tekke taiteilijan and meadows of heaven, and I've cried with the end of the two songs. You did it really, really, really well, and you transmited to me a lot of emotions :)
ReplyDeleteI've watched your performance at the Stockholm festival and was really impressed. Great job, Anette!
ReplyDeleteI saw the video of you singing on youtube and it was amazing!!! Your voice can make me sooo peacefull. You sounded incredible!!Loved you singing kuolema and meadows of heaven. They are beautiful songs and watching you singing them made me feel like I was sorrounded by angels. I absolutely love your voice!! Kisses!!

I did miss you, but I know your just bussy..
I'm just really glad you had a nice day :-)
Sweet dreams lady!
XxX Ann
Thank you for be returned, you have a big future in music, and i always will be beside you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
(Sorry that I comment again in this post)
ReplyDeleteAnette!!! I saw you singing Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan in Youtube and I'm definitely shocked. In a positive way! You were so amazing and definitely BRAVE 'cause you sang finnish (which is a really hard language - as you know). I absolutely loved it and almost started to cry. I love your voice.
You should be so proud of yourself.
- Kris
I can tell you with complete certainty that you is very well in the festival. You don't gave the impression that you were nervous to us, well, you seemed well avontade in the stage. I hope you have a good show with nightwish today. Hep Hep ;-)
ReplyDeleteDear Anette>! :* You sang so fuckin* great! And Your "Meadows Of Heaven" gave me chills it was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHugs and love
Hi Anette! :)
ReplyDeleteDespite the circumstances, I think it paid off--you were AMAZING!!!! I got chills when I heard you sing both Meadows and Kuolema. ^_^ Perhaps you can persuade Tuomas to play Meadows live...that would be even more amazing, because, despite the awesomeness of the orchestra, it was just missing something without the boys. O.O But you were absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I'm glad your mom came to support you, it's very sweet. :)
And don't worry about being busy, it's totally understandable. :)
Good luck/have fun at Savonlinna!!
-Allie
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Nettan your so sweet !! ^^ !! just saw Kuolema and it was very good and actually i noticed you were quiet nervous there ..=) be strong you are great! ^^
ReplyDeleteLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEE you! ^^
Tami.
Hey Nettan!
ReplyDeleteHow are you?
I've watched your perfomance of 'Meadows of heaven' and 'Kuolema'...
OMG, was sooo beautiful, absolutely amazing!
I cried like a baby watching the videos! Can't find words to decribe what I felt in that moment!
We're all so proud of you, Nettan *-*
You are a inspiration for us, so sweet with your fans, sensitive, and of course,a fantastic singer!
Anette, you're a fascinating woman!
We love you soooooo much *-*
Thanks for everything you did (and does) for your fans!
Sorry for my bad english!
Kisses and hugs from a fan from Brazil!
Carol Boquembuzo
Hi Anette,
ReplyDeleteyour permorming at festival was BRILLIANT, I don't have any words for discribe that, you was just brilliant...And your nervous didn't see at all. I'm very proud on you, just be like then!
Take care and good night!
*one big hug*
Good evening Anette!
ReplyDeleteHope You're feeling better *hugs* Please do not apologize for being away! You had EVERY reason to be away!
I have to agree with everyone else who said that You were amazing singing Meadows of Heaven and Kuolema! You did such a wonderful job! I'm very very proud of You lady! Being nervous is totally OK in such a situation and you DID AWESOME!!! I got chills when You were singing.. So happy that You finally sang Meadows of Heaven! :D
You should be proud of Yourself Anette! You were fantastic :D
Have a brilliant Sunday and take lots of care!
Loads of love & hugs,
Karo E.
Hello Nettie.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better after these few days. :)
Now about your performance at the Festival. Three words: expressive, touching, beautiful.
You were amazing, Anette. I watched Meadows of Heaven and Kuolema Tekee Taitelijan and I was captivated by you and the orchestra. The whole thing went so good. :D
I just love you.^^
Hugs,
Dimitris
I saw in youtube your performance of meadows of heaven..its really amazing
ReplyDeleteI love it, a little bir faster, but it doesnt matter...you are awesome
I started to cry when I listened it, its very beautifull.
thanks fot all anette
we love you so much
I already posted a comment in this one but I forgot to say some things so I comment again.. :D
ReplyDeleteFirst, how are you doing? Because the last couple of days haven't been so good to you at all.
You know, I totally understand that you were nervous! I get nervous even if I have to make a presentation in front of a class.. so I can imagine how nervous you must have been! But you know, sometimes feeling nervous is a good thing. Just like excitement. And anyhow, I bet nobody couldn't see your nervousness.
I just can't stop listening you singing KTT on YouTube. I've never liked that song so much because.. well... I don't know but when I have listened the album Once I have always skipped that song. But now I listen your version all the time! I really love the way you make the old songs your own.
And Meadows of Heaven. I love the end of the song the way you sing it. In Suomi Safari MoH sounded quite "naked" song because there's "only" the orchestra playing but you really make the song move.
You know I have loved your voice since the moment I heard Eva on the radio. I think I have re-fallen in love to your voice. =)
I'm sure you will be just great in Savonlinna, so enjoy singing there!
I'm glad you're ok now :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for the surprise we had with the two songs you sang there, I was since the time I saw people talking about it on the communities all over the internet, then watched the videos and OMG! You were so good, Kuolema gave me chills and tears of emotion, sooo beautiful!
That was amazing! You may be nervous at the rehearsals and the presentation, but we couldn't see it. Great jog, Nettan.
Wish you a great weekend! Kisses from Brazil.
Mônica
Anette, I was wondering if when you finish the tour this year with Nightwish, you will continue to writing here on your blog? Please, reply this doubt for me, I hope you continue to writing to us =) I have this doubt becouse this phrase that i read in your website: “Follow Anette's latest news and movements whilst on tour,....” That say “whilst on tour” and i want to know if you continue to writing after this Tour. I understand if you don’t want answer this doubt ;-)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about being nervous, just be yourself and you will be fine.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the gigs, you're almost at the end with only a few more to go.
Hugs,
jeriksson
Wow! I just watched the rehearsal of kuolema takee taiteilijan and you were GREAT!! C'mon!!! You're too modest! Both rehearsal and concert were amazing, Anette!!
ReplyDeleteAnette, I saw the video
ReplyDeleteIt was very beautiful!! Your dress was perfect, but, sincerely, singing like that, you could be dressed like a beggar that it wouldn't matter.
"Meadows of Heavens" always makes me emotioned .... when you sing it, it touches me so deep that I can see meadows in front of me...I see that childhood wich was not mine,.. and I feel like it was.
one day I cried while listening to
O.O
WAW! believe in your nervousness ...
ReplyDeleteBut this is very common ...
Only that you are very talented !!!!!
And of course you and make a perfect show that only knows how Nightwish!
I saw the calendar of shows and know that these shows in Finland and Russia will be a success!
When this tour ends, I will be hoping to see you again here in Brazil, here in Recife in the next tour in the expectancy of the new album! :D :P
P.S: I saw you on youtube singing Meadows of Heaven and Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan and I was breathless ...
very very very very very very beautiful!
It's amazing !!!!!!!!!
Kisses from Brazil!
Love, Dhalida.
Hey Nettan :)
ReplyDeleteFirst, I want to say that I'm really sorry for your cat, but at least, she isn't suffering anymore... I hope that you feel better now!
And oh, I've watched both videos, and your singing is MARVELOUS! It's clear that you can improve everyday, and somehow, I feel proud of you, of what you've achieved in this short time, in every way. I can "see" your soul while you are singing, and as an ex student of singing, I can really imagine what you've been through all this time, and I can see how you can face it all, giving always your best.
You're an inspiration not only in singing, but mainly you show everyone how to believe in dreams. Thank you.
And hearing Meadows of Heaven, I almost fell in heaven :)
PS: If you allow me to give you a little tip, in Kuolema, I feel your T sounds the same way it sounds in english, for example. Although I'm not finnish (I'm brasilian), I train a lot to sing in finnish, and when it comes to pronunciation, Finnish is a bit similar to Portuguese, so, the T must sound a bit different, like in the word "Tennis", or "Taco" (the food) for example. Hope you understand what I mean. :)
Sorry for the looong post
Greetings from Brazil, and hope you have a nice day :D
Camila
I just wanted to tell you how absolutely AMAZING you sounded in your rehearsal. I'm so proud of you and it's incredible the amount of vocal progress and strength you can hear in your voice between the 2007 album and your live performances now. Not that you need it, but you ROCK, girl! ~ Irena
ReplyDeleteHi Anette,
ReplyDeleteI have just watched you performances of "Meadows Of Heaven" & "Kuolema".... I was totally BLOWN AWAY!! Especially with your ending to Meadows Of Heaven Little bit of Gospel going on there ;)
You really are a Wonderful performer & such a delight to watch!!
I also watched an Interview from the 13th of August....where you spoke of all the Hatred you had since you joined NW all i can say is that i hope all the Love you get Covers every bit of silly stupid Hate!! I am Sooo excited for the new album & cant wait to hear your vocals on the new songs ;)
Your voice always makes me smile!!
Big Hugs & Love to you always <3
Kelly xxx
Hello Anette! I couldn't be there last night(since I live far far away) but I've searched youtube and damn.. you sounded amazing..
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_AZxV30B3Q
Just check this video out and read the comments.. all are so warm-hearted and nice, I'm sure you'll enjoy them <3
Cheers!
Hey!
ReplyDeleteSaw your performing Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan on Youtube and I have to say that was great!
As a finn I have to say your pronouncing was very good. Maybe you can keep practising and we can hear that beautiful song in the setlist? :)
With hugs and love, Essi
Haii Nettie
ReplyDeleteYou were nervous? You, who performed already in front of ...who many people? Didn't know that you could be very nervous, you shouldn't be, you have such a beautiful voice!!
I think it went so much more than fine! I saw some vids on this website: http://anetteolzon-nightwish.blogspot.com/
Loooove them!
Hihi, I thought that you were going to sing 'Meadows Of Heaven'!!
I especially love this songs ending, so powerfull!!
You did a great job, like always!
Love
Daphne
Hey there :)
ReplyDeleteI just watched the videos of your performances and my oh my were you amazing! Congrats on the beautiful performance!
I must admit that I really hope that us, Nightwish fans, will have the chance to hear these two songs live with Nightwish some day too, like, in September ... *hint hint* ;=)
Hugs,
Tanja
Hey Anette! :)
ReplyDeleteI can really understand that you got nervous! But I've also seen some videos and wow you did a very great job! :D Really well done :D
But Meadows Of Heaven was a bit faster than on Dark Passion Play, do you know why? :)
~Night*Star~
Kuolema tekee taiteilijan was really perfect and beautiful,this performance changed many Tarjaholics's opinions about your singing(I can say it as one of them :P) =))
ReplyDeleteWas it hard to got the pronunciation?:P
Näkemiin ;)
Hi Anette!
ReplyDeleteI watched both videos on youtube, and you sounded amazing! Especially Kuolema tekee taiteilijan was great, I´m actually listening to it as I type this.
And as a finn I have to say that I was very impressed how well you pronounced finnish, considering the fact that it was a live show and not some 100 times polished studio recording. Good job. :)
Looking forward to seeing Nightwish in Hartwall Arena soon. ;)
That nice! Enjoy the holydays :D
ReplyDeleteTarjaholics? Who is Tarja? (joke eh! LOL)
greetings from Chile :)
I have seen some videos of your perform, and I really love it !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for it, and have nice holidays Anette ;)
Anette, I must THANK YOU for the wonderful performance you offered a few days ago at Suomi Safari. Even though I can only listen to the clips on the internet, I got to feel, receive and shiver at every single vibration and drop of sentiment and emotion in those songs. The reaction that only two songs performed with feeling and depth can provoke inside a soul is unbelievable. Even though I felt absolutely breathless at Meadows of Heaven, I must confess Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan just swept me off my feet. And it is one of the songs I absolutely adored in original. Now I feel like I can fully enjoy it again, with a different energy and a fresh, heartfelt approach. I think your voice and the orchestra blended beautifully and transformed the songs in very beautiful purely symphonic ballads. I envy the ones who might hear these two sung live at the concert in Hartwall Areena. I only wish I could also watch a live concert with these two included in the setlist sometime.
