Sorry for my absence...

...but these days in Stockholm have been hectic with lots to do and family to see;=)

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.

    And ofc , mother will always help to her daughter ;)

  3. Wow!
    That'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!!!!

    I 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!

  7. 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 :)!!.

    I 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!. :)

  8. Hi Anette!

    Well, 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.

  11. Hi Anette! =)
    Hope 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

  12. We all know and understand how busy you may be.

    Even 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.

  13. Hi Anette!

    You 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

  14. Don't worry about your absence. We understand that you are busy.

    I 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!

    Just 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!!!!

  17. 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 :)

  19. I 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!

    Meadows of Heaven was beautfiul..i can't stop listening to it..your voice is so clear and strong. :D

    ReplyDelete
  20. 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 ;)

    Hugs! And have a lovely evening :)

  21. i took a peek of your perfomance...

    you really shocked me! it was beautiful!

    realle really hope to see soon again in chile..

    the Nightwish Chile Community misses you a lot!

  22. I've seen some videos on youtube where you sing "Medows of heaven" and "kuolema tekee taieilijan" - you did an amzing job!!
    I 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

    ReplyDelete
  23. 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!

    Can 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!

    ReplyDelete
  24. oohh poor anette: 70 orchestra people.. i understand the circumstance ;=)

    How 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

  25. Hey Nettan!

    Do 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!

  30. Hello Anette,

    I 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

  33. 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.

  34. Hej Anette!
    Thanks 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

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'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!
    And 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!

    Anette!!! 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.

  61. Hi Anette! :)
    Despite 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!!

  66. Hello Nettie.

    I 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.^^

    I 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

  68. I already posted a comment in this one but I forgot to say some things so I comment again.. :D
    First, 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!

    ReplyDelete
  69. I'm glad you're ok now :)

    And 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.

  70. 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 ;-)

  73. Anette, I saw the video

    It 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

  74. WAW! believe in your nervousness ...
    But 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 !!!!!!!!!

  75. Hey Nettan :)

    First, 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

  76. 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

  79. Hey!
    Saw 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

  82. Hey Anette! :)
    I 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? :)

  83. 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) =))

    Was it hard to got the pronunciation?:P

    Näkemiin ;)

  84. Hi Anette!

    I 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. ;)

  87. 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.
    You'll never cease to amaze, Anette. :)
