Here comes more updates from the Stockhom week first;=)
Wednesday 12/8-09:
Went shopping with my friend and stylist Linda. We got some nice make-up things and clothes. I got the biggest herpes virus infection last sunday so had to go the emergency to get medicine since both the whole lips and my eye was infected. I still have problems with it and my mouth is hurting but it usually takes at least one or two weeks to get it over with... so we had to buy a nice concealer etc to cover it up;=)
Then in the evening we went to Gröna Lund, which is Stockholms tivoli. It was lots of fun. Took some rides with my son and Linda and we also tried to win some chocolate but no luck this time;=(
Came a fast rain shower but luckily we were inside eating a nice dinner at that moment;=)

Hej Anette!!
ReplyDeleteIve seen the videos from the concert and you were amazing!!
I really really loved your interpretation of Kuolema tekee taiteilijan. As a Finn I can say that you had a pretty strong accent but it doesent really matter cause your singing sounded so beautiful!
I would love it if you would perform it with Nightwish, please tell this to Tuomas! =)
And meadows..was amazing. You even did the gospel part and it was great! You can do anything Anette.
I wish I could be there to see your show tonight but I didnt get the tickets, well I guess I could have gotten them with a higher price from the internet but its good that I didnt cause Im sick at the moment =(
Anyway, see you at Hartwall areena. Im going to miss you all so much!
I would love it if you did some solo concerts on your break, maybe a nice acoustic gig here here in Helsinki, singing Nightwish songs maybe, or something else?? pretty please..? =)
Enjoy your gig, big hugs!
Hey Anette^^
ReplyDeleteCooool :) sounds like you had some fun! It seems that you´re doing very well ;) makes me happy to read. Nice Pics by the way^^ are those gloomy red evil looking things eyes? So, i hope this bad infection will disappear fast and your eyes and lips will get better soon.
Have a wonderful time
take care!
Biiiiig Huuugs ;)
Love and Respect

Hei!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Sweden five or so years ago I was in Stockholm and I saw that tivoli Gröna Lund but unfortunately I couldn't go there because the lack of money. =D
I was in an amusement park here in Finland yesterday called PowerPark. I didn't take any rides because I get a headache.
It rains here in Western Finland too. It sucks.
Hi Anette,
ReplyDeletei have seen videos of your performance and your interviews and i must say, you are the most down to earth, protein pancakes eating angelic goddess in the whole fucking world. And Stockholm owes someting to you, maybe they should change King Gustavs torg to Anette Olzon torg. He would understand. :)
I had tears in the eyes watching you singing, it was so beautiful.
All the best for you

Holà :)
ReplyDeleteWish you to feel better with your lips soon... I like rainshowers, it makes you feel energized, here it's hot but there's the sea :)
I like what you do for Nightwish, your voice and the smile you gave back to the band. We'll always support you.
Vani.
Hey again!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear you had a great time in Stockholm (and here in Finland too, ofcourse ;=). That herpes thing sounds discomfortable and irksome, hope so it will go away soon!
Here in Sodankylä it doesn't rain but sun isn't shining. It seems a bit gloomy outside.
Have a great gig tonight!
Kris
Hej Anette!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that you're having a nice time =) And I hope your herpes will go away soon.
I have watched the video of your performance in Stockholm again, you're sooo amazing, your voice and interpretation are so filled with emotion =) And I love how you can sing so softly and then do powerful things like the gospel vocals, you're great whatever you sing. Be proud of yourself!! =)
I wish you a nice time in Savonlinna and a great show tonight.
Love and hugs!
Elisa
Hej Anette!
ReplyDeleteKonserten var helt helt fantastisk!!!!! Jag stod längst fram och jag fick tårar i ögonen hela tiden. Du framförde både Kuolema och Meadows perfekt, och vilken fantastisk scnenärvaro du har! Det var värt 5 timmar på tåget för att komma upp till Stockholm och sen dom 8 timmarna hem:D men jag träffade också en vän som jag har chattat med i ett år så det var också därför jag åkte upp där...
Det hade varit kul om du hade kunnat sjunga i Skåne någon gång:) Det hade varit kul att se dig sjunga igen!
Ha det så bra!
//Ellinor
I'm glad you had a good time,
ReplyDeleteI hope your mouth and eye feel better soon : )
I love boat rides like that,
I went on one for my birthday a couple
years ago. I just like
anything with water, it's so soothing.
You wanted MORE chocolate,
have you finished the first?! :P
Haha, but I guess it's always good to get
more early, that way you
don't have to go a while without it :D
Well, I'm glad you're having
a good time, can't wait to see the pictures.
Have a good gig tonight!
Hugs and love, Katie T.
Arf, herpes is shitty, I have sometimes on the lip, that don't really hurt but that's itching (I hate it) It must hurt a lot on the eye but if you have the good meds you can get rid of this in one week
ReplyDeletehave a nice day.
Good morning Anette!
ReplyDeleteIt seems you had lots of fun despite the weather and the herpes infection =).
Can't wait to see some photos, hope you have a nice day.
Ah, I just can't stop watching your performances from the Suomi Safari on youtube ... it's breathtaking.
Have fun today at the gig.
Love,
Barbara
Sounds like you had fun, I'm glad :D
ReplyDeleteI hope that the infection stops hurting :/
Welcome home Anette!!! I saw the videos of Meadows of Heaven and Kuolema tekee taiteilijan in Stockholm and what can I say... Bravaaaaa!!!! Ole ole y ole... Absolutely amazing... so amazing and sweet that God and the angels were crying. Please next tour Meadows of heaven, it´s so beautiful...
ReplyDeleteLots of love, hugs and kisses from Spain!!!
Travel much fun hehe, well, except for herpes = (But except this small inconvenience seems to me that I read, you had a good trip by Stockholm. I love the rain, I think it is because here in Brazil is too hot =)
ReplyDeleteSo tell us a bit about the concert with Nightwish yesterday, tell us if everything went well during the show, the clothes that you were using or anything else you find important. ;-)
I hope you have a very nice day today and that's the concert so good to yesterday's for sure should have been. =)
Hugs and best wishes of their fans in Brazil
Hello Anette :)
ReplyDeleteSounds you had a great time and I'm sorry about your infection.
Thank you for the posts.
Stockhold is a lovely place :D
Hope you have a wonderful afternoon and evening,
Many hugs,

Hi Anette!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are having a great time on your trip. I'm sorry that you had to go to the emergency room. :(
Hope you feel better soon!
Can't wait to see the pics! Have fun!!
(((HUGS)))
Christine
hope ur feeling better :)
ReplyDeleteThat park sounds cool!!!
Amy
Jeez! I'm sorry for that herpes, it's really annoying when you have it. Hope you're having a good time there, take care and lots of hugs!
ReplyDeleteDear Anette, I started reading your blog a few days ago and unfortunately had not yet been able to make any question to you. Unfortunately my holidays end tomorrow and I'll have to go back to my college and since I'll be studying all day do not have time for make the questions to you. You could answer them for me, are only 4 questions :)
ReplyDelete1 - Suppose I have a band and, for example, wish make a duet with you, [this is my dream =) but I still have no band :[ Maybe one day huh =)]. What should I do? What the boys of "PAIN" did to recording the song "follow me" with you? What are the procedures that any band has to take for make a duet?
2 - How do you compare the Anette when started in nightwish in 2007 with the Anette of now, 2009? What's changed in your life, in your way to singing, in your relationship with members of the band until now.
3 - Three things you would never make neither if pay to you all the money in the world.
4 - Many consider you as a singer of Metal, others to consider as a singer of pop and other to consider as a singer of style Lyrical, that is, a great division among fans about which style fits your beautiful and wonderful voice . How you define your style of singing? In your opinion, which of the styles above you fits?
I don't feel so alone now. I just got over a cold sore that formed in the center of my lip.
ReplyDeleteDo they sell Abreeva there in Sweden? The stuff is really, really good. Made my cold sore go away in 4 days instead of 2 weeks.
Aand I MYST thank you for recommending the O-plump, that stuff is AMAZING, totally worth the price tag and the shipping costs :)
Well, hopefully you guys have a lovely gig again tonight.(i WISH it was raining, the heat is freaking murder.)
Hugs,
Falyssa
Hi Anette,
ReplyDeleteI was at Nightwish Savonlinna show on Saturday, it was awesome, thanks, definitely one of the best concerts I've ever been to! You guys played Escapist, I was really hoping you would :) Such a great location for a Nightwish concert, too.
Anette Hello, my name is Eduarda, I'm Brazilian, 17 years and first of all I want to ask pardon for place on the tour that Nightwish did, because I found it absurd that they did, you are a wonderful person, beautiful, talented, and deserves only praise, I unfortunately do not know him personally but if I knew you would love it, because I see all the videos and all the things you write and I do not need to know the person you know she is special, you me when you sing when you're on stage, you deliver body and soul, you give the maximum and it is beautiful to me, not only you but all of the band, love and worship you and the band for me is you better, I love you very, kiss
ReplyDeleteHello again! I know that is asking too much but if you could send a huge kiss boys in the band continue for me because I love them all very wonderful and I think they, and a huge kiss and a warm hug for you, love - you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very nice trip ^^
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go to Stockholm, seems like a very cool place to visit
I'm sorry about the herpes, hope you recover soon

PS: Meadows of Heaven was AMAZING!
Hi! I hope you had a blast in Stockholm as well as in Savonlinna! :) And also, I hope your infection will go away soon, it must suck. Being sick in general sucks - I should know, since I'm currently suffering from the "horrible" swine flu. It's not so bad, though, the only horrible thing is that I can't really go anywhere. Anyway, get well soon.
ReplyDeleteI watched your performances & interviews from Suomi Safari like many others, and I want to say once again that you are so adorable! You always seem so warm and kind and sincere. It's admirable how respectfully you speak of Tarja even though you've had to suffer so many upsetting things because of comparisions to her. Not that it's her fault in any way, but still, it's great.
Oh, and you sang Kuolema & Medows so beautifully! It is true that I, speaking Finnish as my native, could easily hear the accent in Kuolema, but it didn't bother me at all or make the performance worse. I'd be so happy to hear Nightwish perform it live in one of your gigs, you sounded amazing. I'm listening to it again and again and crying like a baby. It'd also make me delighted if you guys played Meadows sometime, perhaps in Hartwall since it's the only NW gig I'm attending before your break.
I wish I could've been there to watch you in both Stockholm and Savonlinna, but the first one was impossible because of money and the second one because I'm very sick and can't be around people. Hope you had fun anyway and I'm sure you did great!
Lots of hugs!
Hej!!!
ReplyDeleteAwww...sorry your face got mad at you, but you were still pretty!!! Sounds like you had a blast!!! Sweden is sooo kewl!!!
Just saw the Meadows of Heaven video, you sound lovely as always.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I think it was a bit too fast. But that's just my opinion, and you sound great no matter what =)
Good Morning Anette,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you were able to enjoy Stockholm despite the herpes attack, they are so painful. =(
I guess all the emotional stress of loosing sweet little Kulan and the nervousness of performing solo took a toll on your immune system allowing these things to break out.
Take good care of yourself now at home.
Hugs and lots of sunshine,
Katrin
Hi my dear!
ReplyDeleteHow are you?
Today Im' so happy this is my birhtday I'm 21 years old!!
I had this great digital camera from my parents
(If you see the photo of my camera this is here: http://isa-nightwish.blogspot.com/ )
Thanks
Isabelle
hi dear anette!!! how are you? i watched your interview and i really like it, you are so natural ;=)
ReplyDeleteSince you said you like Tarja voice, i want you to know it is her birthday today and she has a blog too ;=)
http://www.mywinterstorm.com/blog/
So...what will you do now?? Work on your new studio? :=D
Let us know
kisses and love,
Poochie
Aww, Gröna Lund is great! (though I've only been there once or twice).
ReplyDeleteWhen I was eight I won a small bag of Daim :D Since then, my lucky number is eight, since I played with it :)
Hi again Nettan
ReplyDeleteI was jogging about 2 hours and during that I started to think lots of things. One of them was you singing Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan and may I ask you something?
Was it hard to sing it and learn to sing it? Were you more nervous before it than usually when you go to the stage? If you were, I definitely didn't notice it, you sang it amazingly well. If you don't have enough time to answer (or something like that), it's okay. Then I'll be waiting for your next asking-post. ;=)
Kristina
Hejssan Anette,
ReplyDeletethank you so so much for the incredible Olavinlinna gig last Sat! Absolutely the best gig I've seen from you guys -- the sound, your singing, the milieu, the atmosphere... everything was just perfect! So glad I managed to get a ticket (and the best possible seats, right in the middle in the second row) -- whatta best imaginable ending of this tour at least for this fan ;-)
Saw also videos of your Suomi Safari performance -- you know, in Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan, you beat your predecessor 6-0 ;-) You put such incredible emotion in your voice (in all songs you sing, not just this one, of course) it brings tears into my eyes -- and I'm not one who cries easily ;-)
Thank you again, good luck for the remaining gigs and hopefully you can all have a nice and relaxing Autumn after all this touring! :-)
*hugs*
~ Minna ~
Just watched videos of you singing Meadows of Heavens at this symphonic concert. Congratulations for your interpretation. It gave me shivers and, believe me, it almost never happen to me when I'm listening to a song! :-)
ReplyDeleteanette , keepe your smile and your heart !
ReplyDeletecongratulations for meadows... and kuolema....
thank you and take care !
Hello dear Anette. Okay with you? I hope so. Probably you should be very tired during those days (I realize in your interview in Stockholm, you were to look tired). Rest well, becouse these last days has not been very easy for you.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for you, I do not know if you have time to read this comment but if you have my best wishes to everyone in your house=)
Sleep well.
Hugs from your fan of Brazil.
Hey Anette!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your performance!

Hi Anette,
ReplyDeleteI am the girl that gave you a ridiculously long letter at the Brixton and gave you the black stringy bracelet. I said to you in that letter that it was because of seeing you in March 2008 in London that I got singing lessons organised because, despite singing my whole life, I'd always been scared that I wasn't good enough.
9 months has passed since my first lesson and I've just recorded my first demo and I wanted to send it to you. It's on my myspace here - www.myspace.com/enterthedawn and I just wanted to say thank you. Because if it wasn't for you, I'd still be singing in my bedroom with an empty shampoo bottle as a mic. I've got a long way to go and I'm trying desperately hard to find a band but no one around here seems to want me but hopefully when I go to university next year I'll find some people and fulfil my dream to sing in a band.
My dream may come true because of you and I can never tell you how thankful I am. The bracelet was the least I could do.
I hope we can meet again one day (so I can thank you for my lovely hug that you gave me!) and thanks also for doing the blog, I love reading it.
All the best, take care,
Holly xxx
Jasså, du brottas också med dom där djävla blåsorna.. USCH vad trött man blir på dom!!
ReplyDeleteTror jag har testat ALLT som sägs lindra, men utan resultat.
Har du några "ovanliga" knep att ta till? ;-)
Såg några klipp på dig på YouYube från Sthlm, och..tja, du var bra! :-)
Såg även en intervju, och gillade den med!
Hoppas snart du är med på Skavlan! hehehe..
*vectavirpuss*
Hey! I too, just saw the concerts and interviews!
ReplyDeleteSo inspirational! You have no idea, how much you make me want to be a better vocalist and violinist, and believe it or not, person too!!
You're are so amazing!
Thanks for being who you are!
I hope you are doing better! And great job at the concert! (from what I've seen on the videos):)
Hope you and your family are well!
You guys are in my thoughts! :)
-Emilio
Hi Anette
ReplyDeleteI saw your interview from the Suomi Safari: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ou6yH2hkNs&feature=PlayList&p=1116B759786B4E49
You seem like a really honest person.
There is one thing that I noticed in the interview and that is having fans.
It must not be that easy having people around you that you don't know, but they know you and they scream that you are so great..etc.
You also said that it is weird. But I wondered: Can't you imagine the feelings of the fans at all?
I think I am a 'normal' fan, I love Nightwish, Tarja, you ofcourse! and other people.. I think you can sing sooo sweet and beautiful, but also very powerfull and rocky!
But I'm not a fan that wants to bother you or anyone else to much. I think you are a great person. But like you say: you are a normal person like everyone else. I think it's very good that you say that of yourself. But it would be even nicer if the fans also saw that. That's what I mean about being a 'normal' fan.
When I was younger, I was different. I always had someone or something to look up to. And then, I was totally crazy about that person.
When I was about 8-10 years old I was crazy about the Spice Girls, when I was 11-14 years old I was totally insane crazy about 'Buffy the vampire slayer' (it's a tv-serie) and the actress who played her.
I wanted to have everything that had something to do with it. I looked for pics on the internet and wanted to print them all (till my parents stopt me :)).... I was an (how do you say it): 'insane' fan or something.
When I was about 15 years old, I started to get crazy about Nightwish. In 2005 I saw them for the first them live on Pukkelpop in Belgium and I screamed the whole place together there. I couldn't believe it that I was seeing them live. I would have probably fainted when I got the chance to meet Tarja and the guys... :)
Funny stories.. Now I'm 20 years old and I changed, luckily!
But I do understand people that are 'insane' about someone. Cause I used to be like that. I know how it feels to look up to someone soooo much, you just want to be that person actually.
I think I changed because I got older. So maybe other fans will change to. Don't know.. I hope it, I don't like 'insane' fans that say that they want to marry that person or whatever.
So everyone, don't get to 'hysterical' and just be yourself.
I think that Anette and the boys would prefer that! Ofcourse you can love the band and who plays and sings in it. I love them too and I also think that they are Supaa-Dupaa.. :) But they aren't any saints, gods or something like that. I think they are just sweet, talented people like you know other people like that in your life.
Anette, haven't you got anyone that you looked up to when you were younger and were a bit 'insane' about him/her?
If you had, than you can look back to yourself and maybe that would help you to understand the whole situation of fans screaming and crying when they see you.
I'm not like that anymore, but I understand.
Have a nice day Nettie!
PS: You did a great job at the Suomi Safari, it didn't seem like you were that nervous like you said you were.
Daphne
Hi Anette!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm just back from a 6days festival in south west of France. It was very very great and I'm glad to see that you also had good time in Stockholm and Savonlinna. Enjoy...

Hej Anette!
ReplyDeleteHoppas infektionen ger med sig! Annar låter det ju som en rolig dag i Stockholm!
Och bara en kvick rättelse om ett stavfel som störde mig lite: Saimaa (eller Saimen på svenska då) skrivs inte med två m :)
Ha det bra!
