What a wonderful morning! And I am on vacation;=) Tjohoo!!
Yesterday was incredible!!! Amazing...marvellous....heavenly...and joyful:=)
The gig went totally perfect and I am so proud of us all, everyone did their part superb and splendid and with such feeling. We also did Walking in the air and Meadows of heaven for the first time and it was just amazing;=)
The setlist was:
Intro finlandia with Troy
7 days to the wolves
Ever dream
Wishmaster
Romanticide
Amaranth
The Siren with Pekka
While your lips are still red with Pekka
Poet and the Pendulum
Nemo
Sahara
Dark chest of wonders
The Islander
Walking in the air with Troy
Last of the wilds with Troy
Meadows of Heaven
Ghost love score
I wish I had an angel
Here are some rehearsal photos;
I had three outfits yesterday. First a leather/wool skirt from Dsquared, black top and leggings from Morticia and thigh high boots from Zara. Then I changed to the black long dress I wore in the Islander video and ended with a dress in cashmere/leather from Rick Owens and boots from Christian Louboutin. I only have photo of the first outfit but I am sure the internet soon has on the other two too;=)
My make-up and hair was done by Marja, who helps me when I need a better make-up and she has done it many times for me and she is amazing;=)Yesterday I wanted a bit of an ice queen make-up;=)

ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Yesterdays gig was amazing, incredible, gorgeous, wonderful and the list goes on... I can't thank you enough. You and the boys were absolutely fantastic.

Thank you.
Kris
Nettie, you version of Walking in the Air is marvelous! I was so overwhelmed when I read you did it at the gig, but when I saw the video... Walking now sounds like a beautiful tender lullaby. Thank you. *weeps*

Anette I saw Nightwish last time in Hartwall 2005.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say that yesterday's concert was much much and much better than 2005's!
Everything was heavenly and now I'm sad 'cause maybe I don't see you at all in next 2 years. :(
But thanx for last night and enjoy your vacation!
Wow, I couldn't be there unfortunately (university and family matters) but I keep looking for videos on youtube and WOW! fantastic! I don't think there are words to describe the feeling I had through crappy youtube videos...I think I would have cried if I had been there! WE WANT THE DVD!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see you live again (it would be the 4th time) with the new album out!
Hi Anette! You was superb yesterday! Your voice is the best voice on the Earth!
ReplyDeleteBut it's a little sad to think that now I will not see new live videos photos etc. with you and the guys almost two years :(
But I'm longing for your solo album, I think it will be great one! Good luck to you with that!
Thank you again for this GREATEST two years of DPP gig and especially fo yesterday night.
Can't wait to see you again.
Love and hugs!
Hellu Anette!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing make up indeed! is this Marja standing next to you on the picture? She is nice also =)
I'm on my way to see the show in the internet!!! Hurraaa!!!
So I congratulate you with starting your vacation and have a nice and wonderful time!!!
Love,
Inga

ReplyDeleteGood morning, Anette!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that the gig went well and everyone had a great time. I really wanted to be there.
How wonderful that you got to sing Meadows and Walking in the Air.
Well done to you and the boys (and everyone else involved).
Hey Anette, you look beautiful <3
ReplyDeleteI watched some videos from yesterday and im stunned.. love your version of Walking In The Air! The whole gig was great!!! Hope you enjoyed it :D
I really like the cover of Michael Nyman's The Heart Asks Pleasure First!!! I almost cried when i saw the video...
So.. tnx for the Perfect gig, DPP album, whole DPP Tour, and tnx 4 coming to Croatia in April! Come Back Soon!
Love, Grudge
Hello Anette!
ReplyDeleteI saw some vids on youtube. Amazing <3
Now I must just wait for your next concerts... Do Nightwish plan some shows (maybe not now, but in near future) or it's true that it was defenetely the last concert before two years break?
Kisses from Poland
The gig was AWESOME! And you wore those "DAMN SEXY BOOTS" <3!!!! I just hope that the dvd is released because 2 years is just too long time to live without gigs or any material from Nightwish :( . Meadows of Heaven and Walking in The Air were my favourites... Just wanted to cry :D
ReplyDelete—The boy in the white t-shirt in the frontrow =)—
Good morning Anette!
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow! You look absolutely stunning! =)
I didn't have the chance to make it to the concert, but I watched a few videos and I'm totally blown away with your version of 'Walking In The Air' ... it made me cry, honestly =).
We are going to make a petition worldwide because we want that gig on DVD! Haha ;).
I'm so happy that you and the boys had lots of fun. Enjoy your free time =).
You never fail to amaze us <3.
All my love,
Barbara
Thank you so much for yesterday! Whatta great evening, whatta great show and setlist and your make-up looks absolutely fantastic! ;)
ReplyDeleteWalking in the Air was such a lovely surprise, as well as The Siren & While Your Lips with Pekka! You guys have definitely deserved your vacation now, so enjoy the freedom, rest, chill out, take it easy and gather strength for the next album and tour ;) This has been such an eventful two years -- I've been a fan since 1999 but there was a long "silent", "distant" period when I couldn't much go to the gigs and so on -- well, this has been corrected now! :) So many sweet memories, so many great new people I've learned to know... :)
Have a nice day and lots of love and hugs to all of you! :)
THANK YOU!!!!!The show was just amazing, you were so wonderful, what an emotional night yesterday at Hartwall Arena!KIITOS NW! Hugs and kisses and have a great vacation, you so deserve it!!:)
ReplyDeleteOh God, the setlist yesterday was absolutely shocking! I've lost soooo much! Walking in the Air! While your lips are still red!! Meadows of Heaven!!! Incredible!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you looked soo beautiful! I'm going to YouTube))))
Amzing gig. Thanks Anette (and guys, of course), a perfect gig. Meadows of Heaven and Walking in the Air saved this day. Queuing wasn't so nice, but the gig was awesome. And you outfits were beautiful! I love your make up! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice vacation, and see you in 2011! :) ♥
Kisses,
Aveaurora.
Anette...
ReplyDeleteDear, amazing, fantastic Anette! I wouldn't talk about Walking In The Air and Meadows 'cause I haven't words to describe how beautiful both of them was (I hope my english not too bad as I think it is, ahaha :D). But now, in this moment I'm listening of your version of The Heart Asks Pleasure First (outro). And I can't believe that Michael Nyman didn't like it. It's impossible! This version is sending chills down my spine, it's stunning, marvelous and absolutely perfect.
And I wanna say just:
T H A N K Y O U, S U N N Y ! For your voice, your smile, for shine in your eyes! We love you ^____^
amazing makeup <3
ReplyDeleteHej Anette =)
ReplyDeleteYou look so GORGEOUS!
The setlist sounds so awesome!
Meadows Of Heaven & Walking In The Air *__*.
Have a lovely day.
Hugs from France.
I'm so glad the gig worked out fine! I need to go and check out videos now, I just got back from a party spent looking after drunk friends (I'm the responsible one ;D)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you and all the boys
Sofi

Hey Anette :)
ReplyDeleteThanx for sharing the pics and everything.
And thank you for the concert, even if I wasn't there. I found out that I'm not going just 5 days before the show. I cried so much, and I'm still crying.
But thank you, thank you, thank you millions of times.
I hope you'll get back soon, and I hope you'll come to Croatia again.
I love you all. <3
Sanja
Anette! While I was in Hardwall arena, I think it was great. I was at your concert on Masters of Rock 2009 in the Czech Republic and it was amazing. I've lost you're great! I like your style! You're the best singer in the world! I look forward to new cd Nightwish! Thank you for being incredibly strong and brave! Sharrie the Czech Fanclub Anette Olzon (http://theangelofdarkness.blog.cz/)
ReplyDeleteGood morning Anette!!
ReplyDeleteoh my God! I have no words, even though I wasnt there I'm so amazed! You all were wonderful, shame it wasnt recorded because this has been the best show for me. I love how you sang Walking in the Air!! =D, and Meadows of Heaven... *.* awesom!! And of course all the other songs. I havent seen videos of all of them because there are not yet but I'm sure they were fantastic. Great job Anette, congratulations for you and for the guys. And of course thank you all for doig such amazing things like this concert. I would have loved to be there but it was impossible for me, so now I will loof for more videos
Hope you will return soon with a new album and a new tour. Bue for now, have a nice time preparing your solo album.=)
Kisses Anette!

ReplyDeleteAnette!
ReplyDeleteYou were very pretty yesterday (:
How I wish I was there to see...
Well, enjoy your vacation (;
Lots of kisses!
Taís.
Hi Anette!
ReplyDeleteFrom what i've seen on youtube in unfortunately sub-par quality, you were fantastic! So much energy and confidence in that voice!
Congratulations on finishing off the tour, im sure it has been a roller coaster ride for you =D Enjoy the time off and have fun with your own projects (of which i can't wait to hear!).
Hopefully next tour i can see you when you come to Brisbane, Australia. It was devastating for me in the DPP tour but the show in Brisbane was for ages 18 and over and i was only 17 years old at the time =( Next time however i will be ready to rock!
Best wishes for your holidays,
Reece
Tack Anette, tack så OTROLIGT mycket för konserten :) Den var alldeles otrolig och fin och allting positivt! (utom att en lång typ stod rakt framför mig, så jag såg tyvärr inte mycket :'/
ReplyDeleteOch tack för setlistan, jag älskar att kolla ordningen på konserter jag har varit på ^^
Jag ville ge en present åt er alla, men jag såg er inte efteråt, och det blev jag hemskt besviken över :( Nu måste jag väl vänta 2 år till nästa gång.
Får se om jag äntligen har tur den gången...
wow Anette!! you were sooo beautiful yesterday!!
ReplyDeleteaw.. so the tour is over.. i don't know why but i want to cry.. :=( i will not be seing live videos of you and the guys anymore.. but i'm sure that the new album of Nightwish and your solo album will be wonderful ;=)
Take care ;)
Hi there Anette, welcome back home!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your mak-up artist touch, she's talented and you were beautiful:=) and loved the black touch on the hair too:==)))))
i watched a couple of videos from the gig on youtube and i'm looking forward to have some professional photo:-)
walking in the air was different but really sweet! great performance
I like your necklace: may I ask you what brand is it? :) thank you
see you later, Poochie
I stood in the second/third/fourth row in the middle of the stage yesterday along with my friends. I'm all bruised, my toes are broken and my neck is hurting from the headbanging and I'm exhausted... But it was great, we all love Nightwish so much.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you'll ever have to doubt anymore that you ARE the lead singer of Nightwish. Yesterday you did such a great job, your voice was maybe the best so far and I have seen you progress since the first gigs in Finland 2007.
It was perfect, wonderful and a great end to a long and memorable tour.
...and you are still invited to my apartment at Lauttasaari for a cup of coffee ;)
Just drop by, haha :D
Having seen some concert videos, I can say that you all sounded INCREDIBLE!
ReplyDeleteAlso, the outro sounded INCREDIBLE! I have to admit I'd always had some convictions about how that would sound since I love the simple original version of the song, but I was VERY pleasantly surprised and practically crying when I heard it, it was amazing!
Thank you and the boys so much for the inspiration you've given me over the past couple of years. I only got to see you once, but the music motivates me to keep chasing my dreams and not sacrifice myself to reality just yet. Thank you so much once again, and I hope you have a nice, well deserved break!
xx
Best wishes from England!
Hello Anette, =)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful you were, we must show that it was wonderful of course, sorry I could not have gone, Brazil and Finland are quite far from each other right?, But then I see the net, I love your clothes, fantastic!!!!
And now you will still meet the boys in the band?? Or only when they make another CD??
Kisses and hugs
Eduarda
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad it went well. Setlist looks amazing and so does your make-up and hair. I'm sure all the outfits were as great as this one you have a pic of.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful vacation, you deserve it!!!
My god!! You were so beautiful!!! Really really pretty!! And from what I could see in youtube already, the gig was AMAZING.. I wish I was there!!
ReplyDeleteYour make up and hair are so cool too... I love those black stripes in your hair.. and your eyes make up is stunning!!!!!
Well.. I havent seen much of the show yet.. just a few videos in low quality. but Walking in the air was terrific!!! You sounded so amazing.. I almost cried!!!
Kisses to you and have a nice vacation!
Ps: In fact, now that you're on vacation, come to Brazil..Spring is starting soon here ;) hahaha
I'm sooo happy it all went well!! :D
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there :(
I really wanna hear Ghost Love Score live here in Portugal!! The setlist was incredible :P
And I loooove the make-up and hairstyle!! Gorgeous, as always :)
Love,
Maria
Hi Anette! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still so sorry because I couldn't go to this concert, but I saw some videos and they were so great. You all were amazing, as always :) You version of Walking in the air is really beautiful, I think I've watched this one at least 10 times. :)
I hope to see you very soon on the next tour. :)
Love,
Katja
i wish i could have gone to this gig
ReplyDeleteI miss you guys
Anette, I just hear your version of The Heart Asks Pleasure First. It's one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. Please, oh god PLEASE, find a way to release it!! :)
ReplyDeleteSoooooooooooo amazing! This show was probably INCREDIBLE. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHello Nettan!
ReplyDeleteYou are very pretty in the photos! Goes to be launched one dvd of this show?
Sorry, bad inglish!
Kisses
Hii Anette =D
ReplyDeleteIt is great to hear how good of a time you had, I am really happy for you!
And the make up you're wearing is so awesome!, also those black streaks in your hair are very very cool =D
I wish i could've been there, but I went to another concert yesterday (of Tarja Turunen,
I hope you don't mind me telling that =) )
But I am sure that when you guys start the next tour and weirdly end up in my little Holland ;p I will be there for sure!
I cannot wait to see you performing live Anette, i always see the clips and videos of gigs where you have so much energy and fun, sing great and just interact with the fans =)
You're amazing =D
Lots of Looove, Lisa <3
Oh Anette! I watch videos from yesterday and I'm crying. It is sooo beautiful - your look, your voice.. I'm so sad that I couldn't be there. But I'm happy that this gig was for you, guys and all the fans so amazing. Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt was so long tour. Now you have deserved rest!
Have a nice vacation!
And, I have one little question... I saw camera men on the stage... Can we expect a DVD??????? ;-)
Much of love from Poland! :-*
Paulina
I loved its make-up ^^
ReplyDeleteHey Anette :)
ReplyDeleteIts wonderful to see(read) how happy you are :) Thank you so much for those photos :)

biiig huuuuugs
LOVE AND RESPECT
your´s Chris ;)
Okay, I've already seen two videos
ReplyDeletefrom last night, "Walking in the Air"
and "Dark Chest of Wonders",
and OH MY GOSH you were AMAZING!
I am not even kidding you,
that was such a heartfelt performance and
I loved it! Last night was,
at least one, of the best nights for
you vocally I think. Because doing
the old songs and new ones really shows
how much your voice has
changed and I really love it.
From what I've seen of your outfits,
you looked gorgeous!
I really like how she had done your
hair and make-up. Oh! And I like the
outfit you have on in the rehearsal photos!
Well, like I said- you sang
amazingly and you looked beautiful!
Congratulations on completing
such a long tour! Now enjoy your break!
Hugs and love, Katie T.
Hei Nettan,
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled that the gig went perfectly and that you feel so good about it. It must feel wonderful to be on vacation while terribly exciting when concerning your solo album, the prospect of some relaxation time, and of course, more involvement with the new Nightwish album in the future, seeing as you didn't have that luxury starting out in the band =)
You look so so SO beautiful for Hartwall and I can't wait to hear the different songs that were played for Hartwall. I hope the boys are feeling as relaxed and content as you are about the show right about now, and are enjoying the prospect of a less hectic lifestyle while the new album is being pulled together. Keep on rocking and I hope you have a great day.
Love, Nolla
Hi Anette :)
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are very very nice. Nice to hear that the gig was perfect. :)
I hope Nightwish will be very soon back with a new great album. :)
Have a wonderful day
Lots of respect and hugs
Maria
Anette you looked so incredibly beautiful =) (I'm jealous!)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you guys did meadows and walking in the air!!! I wish I was there =( but alas, no I am here in Canada. I can't wait to here how they were!!! You're so amazing =)
Tak, Anette, for et fantastisk show!
ReplyDeleteEveryone gave it what they got yesterday, the energy between the band and the crowd was amazing - and your ability to be powerful in your own way amidst all the overwhelming bombast of a NW song has become simply amazing.
Your qualities have been evident from the beginning, but you have evolved som much these past two years its almost scary. Thanks for two great years - and see you on the next tour!
OMG
ReplyDeleteYou are fantastic!
I'm so sad I couldn't be there =(
But I'm sure it was perfect!
I love you!
Kisses from Brasil
Nitti thanks you!!!
ReplyDeleteDark passion play is my best album
This was the end of dark passion tour!!! cant believe it!!!!
Anett you the best singer in the world=))
Every day I listen to music Nightwish in your fine execution!!!

Fábio
DO NOT PUBLISH!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all thank You very much for incredible fantastic show last night. I really enjoyed it a lot, these last 3 months has made more an more of NW fan, I have liked old and new NW always, but not followed band to gigs outside Helsinki. Well, this has changed quite a lot in these last 3 months.
And of course million thanx for You to getting me in to Areena to photograph that one (hmm.. maybe 1,5 songs, cause I started too early to shoot :D :D) song. I thought how can I get them for You asap, so I decided to put them to website, people won't find them and I don't use that website anymore, but I added few shots, they're not very big ones, but if You find something You can save those shots from there. But of course I have these for You in 3 different size (600 / 1000 and original size) and I burn them for You after I've finished this message. So I propably send that dvd to Petri, so You will get it in one day. Or maybe I try to locate that party today, lol :D
I don't have that Suomi Safari on DVD yet, I have some problems with my laptop, there is not enought space and everytime I try to manage big videos, this shit tilts and I have to start from beginning, but I will put all those songs from reharsal and Suomi Safari + interview + feelings after concert for You, I promise!!
Here is link to those photos from yesterday;
http://koti.welho.com/tsantavi/4u.htm
Sure if You want You can publish that site, there is nothing secret, but I am sure You want to keep most of those shots just for Yourself :) But didnt want to delete too many, might not be too good shots, but great memories anyway!!
I wrote to Petri earlier this week and told that please keep me (and Antsa) posted about Your future. We are more than interested to do more interviews with You (I just bought microphone!!! :D) and would love to cover You solo performings etc. And if You ever come to Finland to do duet with The Rasmus or whatever would like to be on Your press list (santavirta@welho.com is my e-mail) or whatever. And even if You're doing gigs, promotion etc. abroad, it would be nice to know, if You feel like doing interviews etc. with us again also in future. And I am very interested to photograph and videoshoot (if You want to) any possibly performances You will do.
Really hope to see You soon. I hope You have strengh to party this weekend. Wish You all the best, it has been pleasure to "work" with You :)
Love,
Tiia

Jag gråtet massa. Jag önskar så jag hade varit där O.O
ReplyDeleteHi Anette, great setlist! Finally you are in holiday! I hope have a goood time. I'm still thinking at this morning because at 5:30 am there was a tremor but fotunally was during a little and now are all ok. I was really scared. Enjoy your holiday and take care! Hugs
ReplyDeleteSexy outfit! I want!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you had a good time, I wish I was there, but I spent my consert money on Tarja gig next month. And it's in the wrong country D8 Damn XD but still, glad you all had fun :)
Oh really nice make-up! I watched some vids, great! Yesterday I was at Tarja's concert in my country and it was amazing ^^ I'm really happy I saw 2 concerts of the DPP tour and am looking forward to the next album. Enjoy your vacation!
ReplyDeletethis outfit I had not seen, it's beautiful too. It was a great show it. As I said before I hope that this show out on DVD becouse this is a great moment of nightwish. Have a great afternoon.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you
Much peace =)
Hi Anette! CNFC (Croatian Nightwish Fan Club) got an idea to make "virtual interview" with you. We collected few questions posted by members on our forum, hoping you can answer them.
ReplyDelete1. What are your favourite Nightwish songs?
2. Which metal bands do you like?
3. If you can wish 3 wishes, what would it be?
4. Do you have any friends from "Celebrity World" (Metal or not metal friends - doesn't matter)?
5. If you could choose to meet any person on the world, dead or alive, celebrity or anybody else, who would you choose? And why?
6. Hartwall Areena concert just finished. How was the concert? Any DVD release about to come out?
7. Is the solo album in working process?
8. Any message for your Croatian fans?
We really hope you'll get time to answer these questions...
We love you,
CNFC crew <3 <3 <3
Hej Anette
ReplyDeleteI just listened Meadows of Heaven videoclip from Youtube (and some other clips too) and I got the chills.;) The clips were quite low quality but even so everything sounded great.
I wish I had been in Hartwall yesterday since the setlist is so good. Walking in the Air, Meadows of Heaven and Ghost Love Score... I would have loved to hear those. =)
By the way, did you guys hear that the front part of the audience shouted "Kiitos Nightwish" at the end of the gig?
I'm so glad that we can still keep on touch with you since you have this blog =)
Your make up and first outfit were great!!! I'm sure you all did an amazing job last night. Well, the DPP tour has come to an end, but we'll be waiting for the new album and the new tour. If you go to Spain, I'll be in that gig for sure!
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs! :)
César
Congratulations for everything, Anette!!
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad all went perfect. The pictures and the setlist look amazing, I'm really excited right now and right after I'll finish writing this comment, I'll go on youtube/flickr etc in order to look for pictures of your other outfits and the guys, and vids of the awesome Pekka duets and the unperformed songs. The pics you posted already are simply gorgeous. I love what the make-up artist has come up with, she must be such an inspired and talented lady.
And now, Anette, you'll have a long, well-deserved vacation for more than an year. I wish you the best, you can start relaxing and resting after such heavy touring/travelling and you can focus intensively on your voice, training and upcoming solo album.
Also, I would like to thank you for these 2 years of touring and efforts, with no much space left for yourself, in which you devoted to the wonderful music you guys are doing and, of course, the audiences waiting for you in each and every place.
Kudos Anette! :) :)
*----------------------------------------
ReplyDeleteWe show that, and did not go to me in this wonderful show, I was thrilled that the house =] saluted the metal, wear black clothes and everything else and I heard Nightwish very very long time ^ ^
and above all I am happy for you because the band was quite a show
I think there, we had given a gadget. hehehe ..
To really happy that so far I have seen some videos and photos on the Internet also
I will be watchful
want to see it all!
Kiss Anette Nightwish is too much;=)
♥
You look stunning. I am in love with your makeup.
ReplyDeleteWish I was there last night :(

Hey Anette!
ReplyDeleteWow, the tour's done now, eh? Now you're in for a nice, long, rewarding and deserved vacation! I'm sure the concert was amazing, and I'm so sad that I couldn't be there :( But I don't mind, since I'll allways see you guys the next time you come around near my place :) The setlist is fantastic, and I'm sure the audience was GREAT!
And can I just say you look absolutely gorgeous? WOW!!! The makeup was amazing (Marja did a FANTASTIC job!!!), the hair was awesome and the clothes were just fabulous!!! All in all, you just look gorgeous!
I just can't wait to hear new material and see you guys again :)
With lots of hugs, kisses and "See you soon" greetings,
Cam :)
Hi Anette and thank you sooo much for everything :) Yesterday's gig was indeed incredible, marvellous, amazing, heavenly and joyful - just like you said! Your post actually brought tears into my eyes, 'cause I'm really happy to hear that this beautiful and perfect evening was to you all those things as it was for me (and for the whole audience I'm sure!) too. Walking in the Air was absolutely fantastic, I don't know what could be more beautiful than that! It was so magical and utterly amazing moment. Your voice sounded really sweet, tender, strong and relaxed. Oh, it was just gorgeous and that arrangement was brilliant. And talking about gorgeous things - that Outro <3 Oh my god, your version of The Heart Asks Pleasure First was just toooo awesome! I really hope you can release it some day some way.
ReplyDeleteNightwish has been my favourite band for ten years now and I must say I'm really happy that those guys chose you. It has been pleasure to follow your path and growing in Nightwish on this huge DPP Tour. I'm sure some things must have been really hard, but you have done a hell of a good job! Thank you and keep up the good work.
Have a nice vacation, enjoy your freetime and have fun with making that solo album :)
With all of my heart,
Sonja
OH MY GOD! You looked so beautiful that I almost can believe that you came out from a fairy tale!
ReplyDeleteI have listened Walking in the air and I think that I never had heard something so amazing in all of my life.
Please, keep playing this song in the future!
Have a nice day =)
Kisses
Hi Anette ^.^ cheers!
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the videos I can found on YouTube now and desperately looking for pictures (I live in Brasil, you see, and couldn't get the monneh required to go watch the concert in Finland xD) and it seems it was so awesome! What a nice goodbye for this tour. The band seems so mature and fulfilled with this part of the carreer, and I'd like to thank you all for providing us fans such great moments ^^ now we're all waiting for the next album and tour!
I've been talking to a lot of people during the concert and we were trying to guess the songs you'd play and then we counted out 32 songs performed in this tour! That's an amazing mark. We wanted to see it all in this gig, but of course it's not possible =P
Now we're hoping for good quality vids, heheh =)
So congrats, Nettan! Have a great day, good rest and start of vacation ^^
Ana
TUSEN TUSEN tack Anette för en underbar keikka, din röst verkade vara i bättre skick än någonsin, och t.o.m. alla höga toner lät så bra, att det gick rysningar! Och Walking in the Air var den perfekta överraskningen, grät tårkanalerna torra!
ReplyDeleteSkall du fortsätta uppträda ensam eller ta en paus nu ? :-)
Hälsa killarna också (hoppas Marco inte tvingade i dig för mycket sprit, haha!),
Luna, Finland.
Me, a Finn was there with two Romanian ladies. Thank You, NW guys and the crew for a great show. Have a nice holiday!
ReplyDeleteThe show must've been surreal!! I wish so badly I was there. Fortunately there are plenty of videos in Youtube, so I'm not completely lost. haha
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you all enjoyed it! You look beautiful in all your outfits. :)
It's gonna be two long years waiting for the next album, wish this show was recorded...
Now... congratulations to all of you for this titanic two-years amazing tour. You deserve all the best. :D
Oh my gosh you look like pretty! Is that black streaks in your hair real or no? If it's not real I really think you should get that done 'cause it looks awesome! I have purple hair extensions ;]
ReplyDeleteI watched the Walking in the Air video and loved it. I have yet to watch anymore, but I surely will :D can't wait to see the other videos with the rest of your outfits and beautiful voice!
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis concert will be DVD?
Pls answer me
Hello!
ReplyDeleteI like your make up again, and those black on your hair look awesome too, beautiful n_n
I just watched some clips around the internet of the show and the way you sang Walking in the Air is wonderful, you gave such a feeling to the song, even if I wasnt there I wanted to thank you so much!
Thanks for all the times you sang during this two years. I hope you can have the chance to visit my country again, again tack så mycket!
with love!
I am sure the concert was amazing and I wish I could have been there. You must be so glad to be on vacation though. Enjoy your down time... Can't wait for new music from you and from Nightwish... And I would really like to know what you think of my work, now that you have some time on your hands. You can check it out here: http://nunof.com/Site/Production_and_Engineering.html
ReplyDeleteThanks and have a good rest!
I wish I had been there....
ReplyDeletePlease tell us that u guys are gonna give us the videos, pleeeease!^^
U were beautifull, I could see some pics, yesterday!
Big kesses from Brasil....and enjoy your vacations.
Please do not forget us all, ok?
Good evening Anette!
ReplyDeleteI'm terribly jealous of each and every person who went to Hartwall! Really really wanted to be there!
You looked beautiful and I'm very happy that the gig went so well! Thank YOU for the wonderful two years of DPP tour and looking forward for more! Time for some vacation :D
Love,
Karo E.
Dearest Anette
ReplyDeleteThank you for last night!!! Meadows of Heaven was just.... WOW..
I'm just back from Helsinki.
I loved your second outfit, the long black dress :D
It was really nice to hear walkin in the air from you, and a surprise. But you did it so well!!
Hugs,
Danielle
Anetteeee! You were so gorgeous yesterday! <3 Oh, how I wish I could have been there!! But I saw at least one gig on you long long tour, and I'm so happy for that! Now, I wish you all the best on your well-deserved vacation... ;)
ReplyDeleteThank You Anette, for the best gig ever!!
ReplyDeleteEverything was perfect, and I´m sure you can´t have no idea of how happy we fans are. :)
And, especially, thank you for playing Meadows of Heaven and Ghost Love Score. :>
Have a happy holiday, you deserve it!
You look great!!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm totally bummbed that I wasn't able to make it to this show!! It would have been a great show! (as it was) ;)
I'm very happy it went so well!!
Enjoy your vacation! :)
hei
ReplyDeleteohh wow amazing make-up an hair!!!
and the setlist rocks!! XD
hugs
cony
Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Yesterday´s gig was beyond amazing, you all were fantastic. :) I really don´t have words to fully describe how I felt during the gig and how I feel now...I wish I could go back in time and experience the whole evening again.
ReplyDeleteI liked the setlist very much and Walking in the Air was a total surprise, I never would have expected to hear that. A special thank you for that.
Now enjoy your vacation, you definitely deserve that. ;)
Tusen tack för showen igår, det var underbart att stå nere i publiken (på 2:a/3:e raden, hehe) och se hur ni alla stornjöt på scenen. Helt fantastisk show, både Meadows of Heaven och Walking in the Air lockade fram tårar i mina ögon. För att inte tala om Ghost Love Score, min genom tiderna favoritsång med Nightwish. Hela setet var helt fantastiskt, jag kommer att sakna att inte ha någon Nightwishkonsert att se fram emot förrän 2011 ;) Men ni förtjänar helt klart en lång paus efter era 194 keikkor. Njut av ledigheten! Vi ser fram emot att få höra mer om det nya albumet sen när detaljerna börjar klarna.
ReplyDeleteMassor av hälsningar, lyckönskningar och kramar från en Helsingforsbo som idag är utan röst pga. för mycket sjungande på konserten igår...
http://Ocean-soul.bilddagboken.se
You did a pretty well job and showed how it have to be and how many passion you have in your heart for doing that things you do. just a sentence:REALLY WONDERFUL!
ReplyDeletehave a great off time
henrik
I've watched a few videos of it and you (And the rest of the guys) were brilliant! I really wish I could've gone to it, it seemed amazing.
ReplyDeleteI really hope we get a DVD of this concert, and I really hope we get to hear your version of "The Heart Asks Pleasure First" again, I thought it was beautiful.
Congratulations, and enjoy your nice break :)
Wow, you're a beautiful goth queen on the pictures =D
ReplyDeleteI heard it was AMAZING!! I'm glad you had fun and I love your outfit! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to join the band of fans who want a DVD from this show! I am sure it would be amazing and something to hold us over until the next album comes out :D.
Are you sad now that it's all over? No more touring with Nightwish until the new album is out?
Anyway, I hope you and the guys enjoy your time off and that we get some new NW music soon! This year is full of new music from everyone! Even Within Temptation is putting out an acoustic album, the only way to top it off would have been new Nightwish, but...alas...I guess we will have to wait.
<3 Lauren
I haven't been in Stockholm at this festival, but I have seen the video on youtube site and it was just amazing! "Meadows of heaven" was really awesome and I'm glad You have sang it, because this song is so beautiful (here congratulations for Tuomas ;))
ReplyDeleteYour make up is so nice! Take Marja on every gig ^^
I love your voice!
Kisses,
Anna
And as you sang walking in the air honestly i really hold all along my breath. You made the best show ever that nightwish had. Congrats
ReplyDeleteOh, and an addition to my earlier post: thanks for the nice chat at Helsinki downtown earlier today! ;) Hope you had a lovely time here in Finland and have a safe trip back home! (I'm still recovering from hangover... :p Should know better when you're over 30 that it's too old to party like a teenager... :p Ah well, at least the reason was good! ;) )
ReplyDeleteHi Nettan!
ReplyDeleteMe and my friends of the community of Nightwish in Orkut are criyng our eyes out since yesterday watching the videos and photos of the show. Indeed everyting was perfect, i´m from Brazil and i met these friends because of this tour ( and some of us actually meet youa and the band xD) so the end on the tour means a lot to us, more that we ever imagined that a band could made us feel.
So, before i start crying again just thanks for all the happiness that you and the guys brought to us and we are definitely already waiting for the next one ;)
Before i leave you, just two questions; I wonder if the show will be realeased in the Internet for download, it would be the perfect gift for all the fans that supported this tour with all their hearts, i hope deeply that your answer is YES!
And about the cover of the song " The heart asks for pleasure fisrt", i hearded that this song was supossed to be release on Dark passion play, but because the author didnt authorized it didnt happen, did you guys managged the realease now? I listened the song on the youtube videos and it sounded one of the most beautiful thing i ever heard!:O
anyway, that´s all
love you Nettan!
Hey Anette!
ReplyDeleteI read your Blog nearly every day, but now it's the first time I actually comment^^
Because these words just need to be said (or written, in that case)!
Unfortunatly I couldn't be at the Hartwall-Gig, but from the comments in forums and YouTube it just seemed to be a perfect gig! You and the guys were simply amazing, especially Walking in the air. I was speachless and that means something;) I guess,you'll get a few hundred comments today,that say the same, but I just needed to get rid of it;)
Oh,and I just LOVE your interpretation of The Siren! Well,to make it short: I really love your voice and it fits all the songs, I think.
When I read that Apo were the support-band I had the idea that maybe they would join you on stage for a song. That would have been two of my favourite bands on the same stage at the same time. On the other hand I'm "happy" that it didn't happen. Because then I would be even more sad now that I wasn't there to witness^^
He,this comment wasn't supposed to get this long,but well...
Soo,enjoy your well-deserved holidays. I'm looking forward to your Solo-album.
Greetings from Germany!
Anette, THANK YOU!! I was there at the gig, in third or fourth row at Tuomas' side of the stage... I was one of the girls with the simple "Kiitos" banner, perhaps you remember that. Anyway. I had flown in from Germany, had barely slept the night before the show, I was sitting in the queue for hours and it was *SO COLD* - I was telling myself: What the hell am I doing here? I should be home in my cozy place in Germany, I've seen Nightwish before and will see them again in the future, so why am I here? But. Then you guys came on stage and it was SO worth it, every single Euro I spent on this, every single hour I spent in front of the hall... It was amazing. The best concert I have ever been to, and the most touching, too. Rest assured that we will all miss you and the boys, but you ended the tour with a huge bang that could literally be heard all over the globe. Thank you for this! Last night gave me so much strength. Thank you a thousand times.
ReplyDeleteKat
Tack så mycket Anette! Walking in the Air sounded absolutely wonderful and The Heart Asks The Pleasure First must be the most beautiful song ever. I so wish you could publish it.

Anette u were absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! It was a wonderful concert, I've waited it from loooooong time, and I'm really satisfied!! When u were singing Walkin In the air I started crying because the emotions were too big! <3 You and the guys were heavenly!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will be back soon and I will be there ! surely! You're voice was like an angel voice, and all the effetcs and lights were also so beautiful!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I appreciate every single moment I've passed in that arena!

Good Night!
Hey Anette! I guess many people must already asked that,but is there any way there will be a DVD out of this concert?? I wasn't there but some people from the forum said that there were some cameras and we are all so anticipating a live DVD!!
ReplyDeleteAnette, I think last night was the first time I was fully kicking myself over NOT being at a concert :(
ReplyDeleteI will be faithfully reading your blog, just to see what you are up to :)
Take the vacation, sweets, you deserve it, all of you :)(just don't get sunburned like I did yesterday walking around...oww)
Hugs, and all my love,
Falyssa
Wow, The Heart Aks Pleasure First was amazing! Any chance it will ever get realeased? :D
ReplyDeleteHi Anette, I have seen some youtube videos already!! You looked & sounded amazing @ Hartwall!! =) =) =)
ReplyDeleteI love your version of the snowman song, so delicatly & gently sung
I am feeling a little sad becasuse your tour has ended, i only got to see you guys once in the UK but once is better than none!!;)
(it was at Birmingham uk 29/03/08 & the guy in the crowd shouted that you are sexy & you did a little wiggle haha)
Anyway..
I hope that you left the stage last night with so much happiness in your heart.
I cant wait for your new material & new NW album

For now i wish you a wonderful break/vacation hope you have lots of lovely rest

Oh my god! i wish i were there!!! i really hope you guys come to Venezuela very very sooon to make my dream come true =). Nightwish its part of my life.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new album: you guys are amaizing <3
Love..Adriana
Hi Anette!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thank you SO MUCH from yesterday show and of course from all this tour (even if I can´t understand it´s over).
I´m so tired now and have no strength to write so much now, but I think you know we all are so happy and grateful from this amazing Hartwall show. It was best of shows I have been.
And it was SOOOO lovely to see all of you in the band so happy and when we screamed "KIITOS NIGHTWISH" you all looked very touched and happy :,)
I must too say that Walking in the air with your singing is the best Walking in the air I have ever heard. And I think it´s a lot.
Today night I have watched videos from yesterday and among this I have cried, because this is something so strange and wistful. I don´t cry in shows never ever even if I sometimes cry in home when I listen some beautiful song. But yesterday I cried little bit in Walking in the air and Meadows of heaven. These songs was wonderful, thank you!
Aand, one question..
You played Heart ask pleasure first in outro and it was soooo beautiful. I can´t set it in words, but maybe you understand :)
Now I want to know, have you got authorization to publish it or is it allowed to play in live even if you can´t publish it?
I can´t understand why someone don´t want that this beautiful song will be publish. It would be wonderful if it comes to some cd someday, hopefully :)
I hope you can answer this question even if now is not question time :,(
Very happy holiday for you! Enjoy from this time :)
I´ll be waiting next tour and can´t understand how I can wait TWO YEARS (it´s very long time), but really you all deserve long holiday and I understand it :)
See you <3
(I said I don´t write long, but what I have done :D)
Hi, pretty.
ReplyDeleteI’m from brazil and for that, I can’t go there and see the last concert, I only watched everything I can in the internet. I’m so sad that it is over, I can’t wait for see you and nightwish only in 2011. You will put the show in youtube? I want, if will not have any DVD, at least, nightwish could put this show in youtube, for the fans around the world can see the last concert. For us this is important, I want so much see this concert in High Quality, I already see everything that is already in internet lol.
I love your clothes, especially the one with boots.
With love, and many kisses.
Sarah
Omg! That has got to be the best set list I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI watched Walking In The Air online, and I swear to god, that was amazing. Almost had me going. Without a doubt the most beautiful version I have ever seen :']
Congratulations on what I'm sure was an excellent gig. I'm just sorry I wasn't there, it sounds fantastic
x
oh Nettan!!
ReplyDeletei saw the videos of the Hartwall show in the youtube..
and you was incredible! wonderful, beautiful!!
After i heard "walking in the air" i keep myself walking in the air..
The boys rock too!!
but I just gotta eyes for you... S2 ... i love you..hehehehe
I liked "The Siren", so harmonic!!
but, i like all that you sing!!
I wanted to go, but could not, Brazil is so far...
but i'm waiting you come back to Brazil, with a new album and a new tour!!
kisses dear...
I saw the videos and you guys were totally amazing! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAnette: you look STUNNING with that make-up! (you always look beautiful but it had been a while since the last time we saw you with this thicker make-up :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, I guess that many of us wished we could have been there, lol :) I'm glad to hear it went so well! ^^ I need to find those videos and more pictures somewhere :P
Now looking better your photos, I came to a conclusion:
ReplyDeleteYour boyfriend is a very lucky guy and I'm sure he must agree with me ;-)
Back to the subject of the show, I saw a more videos on youtube and I reaffirm that this show will be unforgettable for the fans of the band. This show was really very good and you gave your best, congratulations =)
I hope you are having good dreams at this moment.
I wish to you that when you wake up you have a good day.
All the best to you =)
Hi Anette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps I've said this before, but YOU WERE WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely the best show to date. ^_^
I've been continuing experimenting with photoshop...and this came to mind. :)
http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh97/Ultronia/AnetteThing2.jpg
When more pictures from Hartwall start circulating, I shall perhaps make a Helsinki Hartwall Areena 9.19.09 Tribute. ^_^ We shall see.
I hope you enjoy your break--I can imagine that you need it after touring for so long! :) Sleep is always wonderful. ;)
Keep on being your amazing self!!!!!!! :)
-Allie
And what a tour it was! (I've got no idea if you'd remember, but you met my wife and I about 5 times in meet-and-greets in the US New York area. She's the tall redhead with the big labradorite necklace, I'm the older fellow in the photo the LJ ID points to.) I wish I could have somehow gotten to Finland to see the close, but it simply wasn't in the cards.
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to the next show and tour!
Good Morning dear Anette,
ReplyDeletethank you and the guys so much for the truly wonderful gig at the Hartwall Areena. I have been in Helsinki for a few days before the gig and this concert was the perfect ending to a perfect long weekend.
The setlist was incredible and the new songs (Walking in the Air and Meadows of Heaven) were so touching, I got all emotional from the atmosphere.
Your long black dress was absolutely stunning, it was nice to see you in a gala dress, it suited you so very well.
Unfortunately all the joyous feelings of that weekend went in reverse when I got home yesterday and found that my cat Nellie had died of cancer while I was in Helsinki. But at least I know she does not suffer anymore and is now in cat heaven together with Kulan and all the other little cat souls and that is a peaceful thought as well, no matter how sad I am.
Enjoy your long holiday now, you worked hard enough for it =)
Lots of Hugs and again: Kiitos for a truly magical evening last Saturday!
Katrin
I have been following this blog anonymously for a while now. I just saw a HD recording from Hartwall of Meadows of Heaven on youtube which gave me goosebumps. I just had to register an account to tell you how beutiful I thought that was.
ReplyDeleteRock on and heja sverige!
Amazing show, and I was so glad to hear the recording of you singing The Heart Asks Pleasure First at the end! It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, I hope somehow it can be released someday! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Anette;)
ReplyDeleteI just want to say THANK YOU for an awesome concert! I don't think any of the NW concerts I've ever been to has been so cool! You and the guys rocked=)
Tack så mycket!
I got back in France today, I had a great great week in Helsinki (it's a bit weird to see your blogs describing the weather, the same weather than the one I had during my trip !), and I had a great, great show. Great surprises !
ReplyDeleteI liked "The Siren" with violin, I cried (yes, the boys cry !) during "While Your Lips Are Still Red" (this is SUCH A MOVING SONG !!!), "Meadows of Heaven" was great with the water curtains, I had a chill when I heard you announcing for the last time of this tour "I Wish I Had An Angel", but my favourite moment stays and will stay "Walking In The Air" !
I was not recognizing the music, and then, I heard the beginning of the lyrics of this beautiful song from your mouth, and I just didn't believed it. It was so beautiful, and I want to tell you that you can be really, really proud of you about this ! I heard so much versions of this song, the one from "Celtic Woman" is very very beautiful, with such a pure voice, and the one that Tarja performed in Nightwish during the "Oceanborn" period is still one of my favourite songs from Nightwish, so I can say that I liked so much versions of this song that it wasn't easy to convince me about this, because this song is very important for me... But you did great, great job and I really, really, really do hope you and the guys will perform it again on the next tour, because this is great... And, for sure, the "snow" falling helped me to love it. About this, in the final of "Nemo", I were a bit disapointed to not see the "snow" falling... And then, when I felt it falling on me during "Walking in the Air", I understood. It's a good choice, for sure ! ;-)
And, also for the rest of the performance, you can be proud and the guys too. It was a great show, for sure. It was a bit weird because I'm from Paris and the crowd is so much more excited here than the one of Helsinki, I think (and, in Paris, I was more front of the stage than saturday !)... Still a great show though !
For "Outro" song, if I've heard well, it's a cover from a celtic song... I just loved it ! Pure voice, great job. It was a good way (for me at least) to say to the fan that, no, Anette is not gonna receive a letter from the guys in her backstage room... May be this one is not funny... Well, sorry ! But, in the beginning, it was soooo hard for me to accept the new choice of Tuomas with your voice. I liked it, but... I thought it was not suited to Nightwish. But fast, I understood and I approved the guys choice. And I still do. You totally have your place in Nightwish, so... Once again, do the things as you like to do it, not taking care of all the bad comments, and go on ! You are great, Nightwish is great !
Hugs, kisses and luck for the upcoming projects with and without Nightwish ! Still following your blog, and see you hopefully in 2011 in Paris (or may be Helsinki again !).
Karim, from France.
... I wished for my angel. I had my angel saturday night.
Dear Anette. What to say - for me "Walking in the air" had something special, magical in it...I love that song since I saw the cartoon "Snowman" from 1982. I'm sure you enjoyed singing that one as I did listening!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Thank you SO much for everything. Congratulations on "Walking in the Air", you and all the boys were outstanding! You sounded like an angel and the accoustic arrengement was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNow, the best surprise of the night for me was the cover of "The Heart Asks Pleasure First". Absolutely AMAZING! Could you please tell us how is the situation of this song right now? We know the author, Michael Nyman, didn't allow Nightwish to release this masterpiece, but, now that you guys played it as the "outro" in the end of the concert, I guess we all are hoping that Nightwish finally got the positive answer from him allowing the release of the cover.
BIG thanks for your respect toward the fans =D
Love from Brazil.

Thee ;) I can't understand why I'm this excited... Well anyway, you look beautiful and I like that tattoo you have on your shoulder :) And I just heard the wonderful intro you had on the gig, it gave me shivers and it's just amazing and soooo beautiful... I'm excited ;)
ReplyDelete(Please make this comment private, if it's possible :) Tack :))
ReplyDeleteHello Anette !
I hope you are fine and peacefull after the end of this long tour :)
I'm Nicolas, I'm the webmaster of Nightwish.fr / Nightwish-World.com . We met several times before, during the tour, I hope you remember me a bit :p
We've launched a few weeks ago the new English official forum of Nightwish, as the one in nightwish.com has to close. We're running it since then, and for now everything seems fine :)
You also have a private account (Christian from nightwish.com has sent you the login/password I created), feel free to come or leave a message a message ;) Moreover, if you see anything you don't like on it, or any suggestion, don't hesitate to contact me.
Anyway, I was in Helsinki last week-end for the final show. It was amazing, your singing was perfect, the show was really impressive. Congratulations ! And i love the surprises you did ! (And the outro of the show, finally we hear that wonderful cover :))
I was hoping to get a photo pass to take some photos for the websites or for the forums, but I could'nt get any. I would also love to join you after the show to share a few moments with you guys, but, once again, I haven't got the chance to get a pass.
I just feel a bit disappointed about this, because we're just trying to work the best with the website, the forum, to promote the band and we put a lot of ourselves (and of our time and money - an internet good server to host something like the official english forum is quite expensive), so I would have love to say you a little hello last Saturday...
But I understood this show was very special, and there were a loooot of things to deal with for the management and so on, so nevermind ;)
Enjoy your holidays, we'll meet in 2 years I guess :) During the meantime, we still do our best for the French fan club and the English forum ! :)
Take care, kisses :)
Nicolas
PS : you can answer me by using this address : nicolas@nightwish.fr (But you don't have to, you're on holidays now :p)
Enjoy your well deserved vacation !!!
ReplyDeleteSee you in Germany on your next tour.
Cheers...
You were beautiful as always!
ReplyDeleteI'm missing you already.
Enjoy your vacation.
Lots of hugs

Hi, there!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, congratulations (to you and the boys) on the Hartwall gig, as well as on the whole tour. You people are so talented and blessed, I wish you all the best, enjoy your vacation! (By the way, you looked gorgeous in those outfits and make-up!)
Now, I do have a question (although I'm not sure if it's time for asking questions; if not, I'm sorry for the inconvenience). Just out of curiosity, have you tried (or learned how) to sing Erämaan Viimeinen? Do you have interest in doing so? =)
Well, take care!
I'll keep visiting whenever I can.
Hugs from a caring fan,
Silent Bliss.
Anette! While I was in Hardwall arena, I think it was great!!! I was at your concert at Masters of Rock 2009 in the Czech Republic and it was amazing!!! You have luck great!!! I like your style! I look forward to new cd Nightwish! Thnak you for being incredibly strong and brave! I love Nightwish and Emppu Vuorinen! Sharrie from Czech Fanclub Anette Olzon! Sorry from my bad English I´m from Czech republic :(
ReplyDeleteDetta va världens bästa konsert NÅNSIN ja varit på!
ReplyDeleteÄLSKAR ER!
Jag tror du hörde mig då jag skrek; Du är underbar!
Du kollade runt i publiken för att se vem de va.....men jag stod vid Maestro på 4e raden så va lite svårt (;
TACK SÅ HEMSKT MYCKET! Jag grät jättemycket av lycka!
*Kramar* Elle
Du träffade även mina vänner på H&M dagen innan! :)
Hello my angel!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how wonderful gig you and boys did last saturday! Everything was awesome! You was beautiful and I never saw you sing so perfect! And the band too, they played perfect.
Have a wonderful vacations and don't forget how your fans love you!
Kisses and hugs from Brasil
Hi Nettan!
ReplyDeleteYou were looking so so so good at the hartwall gig. And your voice was beautiful. I cried, when you were playing Walking in the Air and Meadows. It was so amazing. I have been seen you with Nightwish 10 times, and this was the best.
Have a nice time with your soloproject, and we´ll see at next tour at last... :)
Love
Tanja
Thanks so much for an amazing show. I came all the way from the Uk with my friend and it was definetly worth it. AMAZING night! Thank you so much. Walking in the Air had me in tears!
ReplyDeleteHolly.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! For you and for everyone else!!
ReplyDeleteANETTE! THANK YOU! my friend and i came from england to see the show and we thought you were absolutely amazing...your voice on ever dream and the ending of poet and the pendulum especially were incredible :) i hope you enjoyed it as much as us!
ReplyDeleteI'm writing just to say that I wish I was at Hartwall (but you know: no money, no time :(), I've seen some videos on the Tube and the whole band have been stunning, your performance was brilliant, you improved so much :) As many people do, I wish NW will release some HQ recording of the gig, even as a bonus somewhere or in streaming, don't know, but it would be just a shame if such a wonderful gig end up to be played only by some crappy youtube clip. I'd call it the best gig of Nightwish's New Era. And that new version of Walking in the Air must be one of the sweetest things I've ever heard, crappy quality can't kill that beauty.
ReplyDeleteCheers and greetings :) And thank you.
Alessia
Hi Ani,
ReplyDeleteI've just got back to England from Helsinki and the Hartwall show was everything that i wished for and more. The show was amazing with lots of songs that nobody could have predicted and and special effects and pyro were wonderful. To hear songs like Meadows of Heaven, Walking in the Air and While Your Lips are still red, as well as favourites like Everdream and Ghost LOve Score was just amazing.
Thank you so much for one of the greatest nights of my life and enjoy your break!
Tom - UK fan club
Wow! Nett!
ReplyDeleteTo look more beautiful!
These every day more beautiful!
Love photos of the guys of Nightwish!
Anette're beautiful!
What beautiful clothes!
And your angelic face is beautiful!
All my love!
Barby!
Dear Anette
ReplyDeleteI've been watching some videos from the Hartwall gig, I wish I were there... I can't wait for 2011... You're the best !
Kisses from France
Anette! :D salutations from Brazil!
ReplyDeleteI have been mining on Youtube for Nightwish videos and came across your wonderful performance of Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan in Stockholm. I just felt like saying that I love you deeply, for your voice, for your attitude and for your strenght. You're wonderful, girl! Rock on! :D
Oh, and love your makeup. By the way, I like your style very, very much - with the uncommon clothing and hair and everything. I can't wait to see you live someday! :O
Have a wonderful day!
TACK för en helt makalös spelning <3 gråter aldrig på konserter egentligen, men efter halva spelningen började tårarna rinna till min egen förvåning och fortsätte ända fram till slutet. Fantastiskt att få höra Meadows of Heaven och Walking in the air, hade aldrig väntat mig det.
ReplyDeleteVar också väldigt kul att träffa dig på H&M, fast ingen av oss kunde säga något vettigt. Kände mig helt dum när jag bara stod och skakade. Förlåt om vi störde :)
Det här var höjdpunkten på ett ganska jobbigt år, har känts så bra att ha något att längta till. Går inte ens att beskriva hur mycket det här betydde för mig, fattar inte hur jag ska orka vänta två år på nya spelningar och skivan.
Återigen, TACK SÅ MYCKET! <3
Hi Anette,
ReplyDeleteI didn't was on your blog a very long time, so here I am now...;)
The setlist was really nice and I see you and guys had a great time what is important...:)Your outfit and make-up was beautiful.
Send hello to guys when you gonna see them!
Good night and sweet dreams!
Big hug from Croatia!
;-)
I just saw the "Meadows of Heaven" video on Youtube...INCREDIBLE!!!! What a beutiful song, your voice is so sweet...And the rain was perfect.... I wish I had a time/travel machine to be there!!! :D Good job!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my god!!! I just saw the videos and pictures from hartwall and all i have to say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! to you and all the guys, it was so beautiful and sad at same time. but thank you again for those beautiful shows.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for a new album, i hope don't take to much time to see you again in stage having fun!! hehe ;)
And Anette I just love all your outfit and make up of last night, especially the black dress. I fall in love with that dress and seeing you singing walking in the air, with the snow falling down. oh I can't stop crying yet...
I believe that we (all Nightwish Fans) are agree in this:
WE DEMAND A DVD OF THIS SHOW!!!
it would be a mortal sin if you guys didnt release this on dvd...hehe!!! ;)
Sorry for my bad English!!!
Hugs and kisses!!!
Clau♥
Hello Anette, hope your enjoying your time off so far :)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say that today on yt i saw a really good version of "Meadows Of Heaven" it made me have tears in my eyes, the crowd was singing along with you then the rain was falling...it was amazing & very touching!!
I am so VERY VERY PROUD to be a Nightwish Fan & of course the sunshine voice of Anette Olzon makes me smile always
Kisses

Hi Anette! I just watched a video of you guys playing Meadows of Heaven on YouTube. I really don't think I've ever been more proud of you and Nightwish. You have come a long way since 2007 and it definitely shows in that song at Hartwall. Thank you so much for being a role model for me Anette. I hope to hear many more songs from you and Nightwish or just you in the future.
ReplyDeleteHugs from Detroit!
Alex

Hi Anette!
ReplyDeleteYou were wonderful on Saturday! And you looked really good!
I've seen you three times on this tour and I think you're getting better and better, you were the leading lady this time for sure. And I have to give you extra credit for pushing through these two years of intense touring. It must have been really hard at times. Just handle all negativity with a smile, don't let the haters bother you. You know, I know and everybody knows you're strong!
I want to thank you all for giving us a wonderful show to remember. You're Walking In the Air was absolutely beautiful and a great surprise, I hope we will hear in the future too.
Take care!
Mimmi
Hi Anette,
ReplyDeletewell i guess you are already used to my pointless comments but we need a DVD from this great Hartwall show. Please,please... ;)
Also we need this outro song. ;)
Anyways, i watched some videos and you and the boys did great. Can't believe this is it now for the next 2 years. :(
All the best and enjoy your vacation
Yotapong
oh, really cool)))
ReplyDeletemy congratulations with end of a DPP tour)))
it was great!
kisses, Iriffka
Anette!<3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this beautiful concert<3
It was a dream for me seeing Nightwish in Finland<3
I would also like to thank you for taking time for the fans after the show
I have waited for that moment a lot of years but everytime I had to leave =( and now I was on 'holiday' I finally had time to stay and it was worth it
you looked beautiful! and what I already told you after the show : thank you so much for playing walking in the air!
I felt the tears in my eyes!
I also enjoyed Meadows of heaven, I already was begging for that song actually and finally you played it!
I hope you like our Dutch flag, which we gave to Tuomas after the show.
Did Jukka stayed at a Sokos Hotel?(A) My mum and dad saw him outside, when my sister and I ran outside he was gone =(
and where was Emppu after the show?? =O I missed hem =( I think he is cute hehe
anyway, thank you sooooo much!<3333
hope to see you soon in the Netherlands
PS : does this show will be on dvd?
Hello Anette :)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to drop by to say that the show was amazing, you all did a great job. I've seen 19 shows alltogether on this tour and this last one was like a delicious cherry on top of a yummy cake. I loved the surprises!!! And your performance on Meadows and Walking in the air and the Mother&Father part of the Poet, and uh, everything really, it was truly amazing! And the outro ... too bad that song wasn't allowed to be on the album, because it's a beautiful one.
Enjoy your holiday, it's a well earned one too!
Greetings and hugs from Slovenia,
Tanja
Hi, dear Anette!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't in Hartwall Areena (unfortunatelly, cause I want to visit Finland someday), but I saw some videos on YouTube that seemed great to me. You performance on stage was impeccable: awesome outfits, perfect and clean voice, energy. The band, as a whole (as ever!) sounded really amazing!
So now, I wish you a deserved rest, many times to relax and enjoy your family and child!
I'll be waiting for the new Nightwish album, anxious about the possibility of see you in Sao Paulo.
Kisses and hugs,
Géssica (from Brasil!) :p
Hey Anette hope you're feeling better
ReplyDeleteI just got back from Finland late last night. I travelled over from Scotland for the gig and I must say it was definately worth it.
I loved every second of it :)
Hey Anette! :)
ReplyDeleteI was at Hartwall Arena and i have to say that you were fantastic. You have so beautiful voice. Walking In The Air was wonderful. Folk style fits you so well. And your voice was the most beautiful in Heart Asks Pleasure First. It maked me so depressed when I knew that I never hear that song again. And it's such a shame that you didn't get a permission for publishing it. So many fans want to hear that song. It was the most beautiful I am ever heard.
But Anette, good holiday to you! And make the new album soon :)
Aleksi from Finland
Greetings Anette! ;>
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good job! Hartwall Arena was seriously wonderfull! I hope to see you soon
BIG HEP from Hungary <3
Hey there Anette! I just saw some videos of Hartwall on youtube and I think that it was your best preformance yet. Especially Walking in the Air.
ReplyDeleteAnd when I heard The Heart Asks Pleasure First, I was simply amazed and had no clue why and how Mr. Nyman couldn't like this version. Why do you think he dosn't like it? It might be the greatest song I've heard you sing :) This song and that whole concert wipes away any doubt that you were a "wrong" choice for Nightwish.
Best Wishes and Highest Hopes;
Ben
Hi Anette! First I want to send you this link, I FINALLY published my pics from Kaisaniemi gig last year. :D http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=112990&id=738667775&l=ea41506b51 :)the pics are taken with my Nikon Coolpix, now I have Nikon D60 and I would have loved to photograph you Hartwall concert with it, so I contacted King Foo Entertainment, for I have been photographing many bands of them, but they were so busy that they asked me to ask the permission from Tuula of Spinefarm. So I sent her an e-mail and the answer was absolutely rude! She made very clear that I am not wanted on any Spinefarm gig with my camera, because I don't represent any media. I would have given all the photos to King Foo / Spinefarm / Nightwish for free, but she made me feel so bad that I didn't even attend the concert, even though I had bought tickets. But I hope some day I'll be able to photograph Nightwish with my DSLR..
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best, see you soon!
Hello Anette! :) Thank you about the Hartwall gig! It was awesome. You sounded sooo great and looked very happy and self-confident. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt has been long and a little bit rocky way I think, but you have taken everything so fine! You have been so brave (and you still are!) that you should got a medal! Day after day, gig after gig, you sound always better and better. ;) Can't even imagine how great you will sound on next Nightwish CD and tour.
And it seems, that you have found your own style. And I like that very much. :) It was nice, that you changed your clothes in Hartwall.
Everything good for you and your family! :) Enjoy your vacation, autumn, singing and doing your solo album etc. ;)
Hi Anette!You look fantastic and your make-up is also great:)I've met you 2 months ago in Sibiu/Romania and i was impressed how kind you were.I love your personality and of corse your voice,you are my idol:)By the way I have a photo with you and I was wondering if I can somehow send to you?Thank you!Love and hugs!Timea from Romania:)
