Tarja had a flu on that concert day, she wasn't quite at her best but did very good job nevertheless. About vocalist changes; basically Tarja and her husband/manager and rest of the band (and their management) were pulling in different directions. Tarja was replaced by Anette Olzon, who was pure rock/pop vocalist with some musical theater background. Wonderful singer on her own, but maybe not best fit for Nightwish. On 2012 Imaginaerum-tour, she had some health issues and she was also pregnant. Because NA tour was very important for a band, they didn't want to cancel any shows but use temporary vocalists instead. Shit basically hit the fan in Denver, where the audience was already inside the venue - Alissa White Gluz and Elize Ryd came to rescue and they had quite unusual "karaoke night". Anette was very upset about temporary replacements, and she also knew that Floor Jansen was coming to help the band for the rest of the tour if needed (Floor had 48 hours to learn the whole setlist). I don't think that sit well with Anette either, so once again personal differences were so fundamental that they had to part ways with the singer. Floor did amazing job for the rest of the Imaginaerum-tour, and after the tour Floor Jansen and multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley became permanet members of the band. My opinion about line-up changes: those are natural for a band which has been around for 20 years. Personal differences, health issues, you name it. Those things happen. But, they handled situation with Tarja poorly, causing unnecessary drama with that "open letter" to Tarja, media and fans. I don't know what they could have done differently with Anette though. Cancel the tour? Anyway, Floor has been in a band for 6 years now and everything seems to be going smoothly and professionally. It's like they are finally complete band, with everybody on the same page, and pulling in same direction.

Hi; I loved your reaction. Here is the answer of the question. The first lady (Tarja Turunen) was fired because things didn't worked as they wanted and a lot changed since she married in 2000. In fact, this is her last concert with them in 2005. She was notified by an open letter. In 2007, Anette Olzon was the second singer and things didn't worked again because she isn't a classical singer, so fans tried to bash her a lot. She was fired in 2012 and the circumstances are still a bit tricky because she was fired in a middle of a tour, pregnant and she was really sick when they decided to perform without her. She made a last concert in October of that year. The following night, Floor Jansen (The one in the Ghost love socre video) filled for her and she had better luck. Fans loved her because her long career with her previous band After Forever, and as you saw, she is classical trained, but also has a lot of pop and rock elements in her singing. Hope this can clarify your question. Thank you for the video and I recomend you for the next: Nightwish The Siren Live at Gampel Open air 2008 with her second vocalist Anette Olzon.

Tarja Turunen, the original singer - the one in the video, was kicked out of group after the concert you've just reacted to. It was a massive scandal in Finland. Tarja is a classically trained lyric soprano. And she often takes vocal lessons, because she is very respectful of her vocal instrument. She has been in the group for 10 years and due to her vocal abilities and the colour of her voice the group made their sound. Since the departure from the group she has released 4 solo albums (not counting Christmas and other classical albums). Some of the albums even went platinum. Nightwish is now on their 3rd singer if I'm not mistaken. There are rumours that the 2nd one was kicked out when she got pregnant. Would love it if you would react to more Tarja stuff. Her songs with Nightwish or her solo works (classical or not, she even made a classical album of different versions of Ave Maria). :) P.S. - the Jack Sparrow guy you mentioned is actually the leader of the band who writes most of their songs.

"There are rumours that the 2nd one was kicked out when she got pregnant." - The story is that she was kicked out, because she was mad that they performed live with two other singers, while she was sick, on their US tour. She wanted the concert to be cancelled, but they did not - she did not want people to pay for tickets and not get what they paid for.

Anette was fired when she was pregnant, yes. Was this the reason she got fired? I highly doubt that. However. They were in the middle of a tour that had another year left, with the finale as headliner on Wacken open air. Not making sure to absolutely protect yourself from getting pregnant mid tour is a rather irresponsible thing to do. But I still think the band would have been lenient towards this if the chemistry between her and the band was good. Was the pregnancy the sole reason? Probably not. Was it the straw that broke the camel's back? I think that would be a much more reasonable assumption. But in the end, these are little more than mere rumors and speculation.

When Anette was rushed to the ER from the concert venue, the guys were unsure what to do about the show. Tuomas and Troy walked to the stage and told the audience what was going on. Then they asked what the people, who had paid for the show, wanted them to do. The audience wanted to see them play even without Anette. Two female vocalists from the supporting bands started to go through the lyrics and sang what they could. Only a few people wanted their money back after the show. :)

The Phantom's character is twisted, corrupted, evil. Christine is pure, angelic and good. This is what didn't make sense to me in most versions, you need a "demon", you can't have two angels. You need the Phantom to SOUND twisted, a voice that is beautiful in the same disturbing way Goya's "Saturn Devouring His Son" is beautiful. Also the "anxiety" created by the band emphasized Christine's struggle and catharsis when hitting her highest note. It seems to me that with all it's flaws, this is one of the better versions of this piece. Not the best, but it has a lot of things to teach.

IMHO it is sad that nearly all Tarja reactions come from this End of an Era concert. Understandable, as it was the only live concert they fully recorded in Tarja's era. Because they had changed Tarja's singing style from classical to more contemporary in her two last albums, and this is her very last concert where she sings a lot that style. But she sings much more beautiful in classical style than contemporary. Much better Tarja's live songs IMHO you could find for example in Tampere Pakkahuone concert, when she still sang classical style.

I don't consider myself a fan of nightwish but I always liked the band since I was 16 or something, I'v heard some of the history of the band and as I understand, they let Tarja go because of her attitude she was to sum it up a bit of a diva, not attending to band meetings and rehearsals, apathetic with other members of the band, so Toumas ("Jacksparrow") which is the composer and keyboardist of the band and old friend of Tarja decided to let her go, in fact this concert was the last one they had, in one of the songs of this same concert I can't remember which one you can see him almost crying, after that they got Anette Olzon which didn't lasted too long and then Floor Jansen, Toumas actually felt really bad about the Tarja situation that he felt depressed and a bit suicidal, so he composed a song base on his feelings in those hard moments "The poet and the pendulum", which is actually a really good song to react to (I especially like the live version sang by Floor instead of Anette).

Also.. as you said she didnt show up to the rehearsals, and was quite much in Argentina. During the last years there were also presented some plans of going solo, which made them even more insecure about the future, so i Guess they didnt see any other way out than firing her. Thus this was a deicision done by the Whole band, Tuomas was the one who got the blame, and a Whole lot of hate-mail from angry "Tarja-fans".

Never mind that Tuomas was infatuated with Tarja and resented she had married someone else....as reflected in several songs....or that the band was objecting to things like her not travelling on the tour bus....when they were drinking all the time, something she said she found it hard to be around....the apathy also can, in part, be explained by the band not being particularly friendly towards her husband. Any way you slice it, the way the band behaved, posting an open letter, not discussing things in private, hurling accusations and even reflecting a few things in songs in a rather unpleasant way (Master Passion Greed anyone) or a few of the things suggested int he open letter such as "cultural differences" were utterly unnecessary and wholly distasteful and immature....not to mention underhand and sneaky.

I really enjoy seeing someone who is not normally a metal fan, but who has musical training/musical knowledge, listening to Nightwish and enjoying it; potentially becoming a fan. All the musicians in Nightwish are very good. Likewise, Tuomas (the keyboardist aka 'Jack Sparrow') is a phenomenal composer; he writes roughly 90% of the band's material, including the arrangements that go to the symphonies and choirs that record with them. (I've heard they record with the London Symphony Orchestra but I am unsure what choir they use. They then use the prerecorded tracks in their live shows, which I imagine is a very difficult task for their tech person in charge of synching up the recorded tracks with the band's live playing.) Marko (the bassist who also sings) is a great singer as well. He harmonizes well with the ladies (all three different NW female lead vocalists). If you would like to hear more Marko, there are several recommendations, depending upon whether you wish to hear his distorted voice, or his clean vocals. He has a beautiful clean voice! Romanticide from Wacken 2013 is a good one for distorted, as is Yours Is An Empty Hope, from Wembley 2015. Clean, I'd recommend The Islander from Tampere. The comment about your seeing Jack Sparrow every time you looked at Tuomas made me literally laugh out loud. :-)

on top of the fact Tarja was fighting a virus (and could barely sing during practice), Jukka (the drummer) was fending off a nasty migraine. Nightwish has performed when one or more of their members were sick and they hit such phenomenal performances. Also too Tarja speaks English as a fifth language at least so some of her vocals show it. Marko seems to blow people's socks off when they hear him full sing. Definitely recommend some of the songs he did lead on (Islander, While Their Lips are Still Red, Higher Hopes). To me, Marko was the real voice of Nightwish even if the female leads (Tarja, Anette and now Floor) are all top-tier in their craft.

I am so happy u did this video after Nicole version. ***Let me fill out the facts of Nightwish. Tarja was the first female vocalist in this band. There were three in total. The band featured operatic vocal with symphonic metal which inspired other bands to follow. They were working great until Once , the album. The composer, spirit of the band, Jack Sparrow, wanted their direction to go more of a pop sound. Also, there were a lot of angry accusations against Tarja and her husband. Right after this tour, the video u just reacted, they kicked Tarja out of the band and published an open letter on the internet blaming Tarja for lots of reasons. Tarja was very upset and believed they were just making stuff up. Therefore, Tarja started off her solo career since then. Her vocal changed dramatically in recent years with a lot of dark chest voice and belting. U may listen to Tarja-Supremacy (Hellfest). After Tarja was kicked, they hired the infamous second vocalist, Anette. The sound changed drastically with a very poppy voice. Also, Anette was not able to sing a lot of high notes of the old NW songs. Fans weren't buying it. After second album with Anette, she left Nightwish because they continued the tour during her sick period without her permission. After Anette left in the middle of the tour, Nightwish hired Floor Jansen to fill the spot. She has to learn all the songs in less than 48 hours, of which there is a documentary of it, with the same title. With Floor's incredible and versatile singing in her previous band After Forever, Floor pulled off the Nightwish songs easily with her own interpretation and becomes the new favorite of the NW fans. She becomes the permanent member of Nightwish with all the hopes. If u want to know more, just ask! I am their die hard fan.

Let me reply to your comment. Anette's both albums have sold more than Floor's album. Her album is the most sold metal album ever in Nighwish's home country (5 x platinum by February 2010) and the only one that sold platinums outside Finland (Germany and Hungary). Most viewed KZitem NW-songs are from Anette. She is not the kind of catastrophe you paint she would have been. Tuoma's the composer said that Anette's first album saved Nightwish. He also said that fans took Anette better than he hoped to expect, because he knew there would be much criticism, as it was obvious they wouldn't go back to operatic style any more. But then, they changed away from operatic style already during Tarja, so Tuomas didn't consider Anette a big change to Tarja. Some zealous Tarja fans left, but then some people came in. Anette's sale numbers wouldn't have been possible had people forsaken Nightwish in great numbers: that is a myth repeated by Floor fans, which does not hold water. (Tuomas' actual quotes in the bottom of this comment). Look at them videos made about Anette's vocal range. Seems quite high to me (F6 and Bb6)! In fact them all Nightwish singers seem to be pretty close similar what comes to their vocal range. Tuomas composed Dark Passion Play album without knowing which singer they would hite to sing it. He said (can be found in album's Wikipedia page) that he felt liberating to compose without thinking the singer. Whom do they pick to sing these songs? From over 2000 girls that applied, they pick Anette. After she had sung these songs in studio acapella style with Nightwish. "I hear all those comments saying that this is a complete new start, that the album is something completely different, and I really disagree. The soul of the music, the orchestra and choir, heavy guitars, ballads - the same elements are still there, it's just the voice that has changed. And even though it's a completely different voice, I also think that we left out the opera two albums ago! Even Tarja wasn't singing with that style on "Century Child" and "Once" anymore, so is that change really that radical and dramatic - I don't think so, actually." www.blabbermouth.net/news/nightwish-mainman-talks-about-new-singer-upcoming-tour/ About hiring Anette Stalker: How were the reactions of fans so far? Tuomas: Very divided, which was to be expected, too, I mean, there's a lot of people who really like her, like "This was the perfect choice, she is not trying to copy Tarja at all, but she still has the emotion and the power in the voice, it's a good direction," and then there are the other people who think that Tarja was the only thing ever for NIGHTWISH and they are never going to listen to it again. Well, let them have their way, I have no problem with that. This is the way it's going to be, and especially when we're going to play the old songs live with her new voice, it's going to be a shocker for many people. Stalker: But I had a look at the band-website guestbook, and actually I noticed that the majority was pretty positive... Tuomas: Yeah, I'm kind of surprised, I was expecting much worse, so at least they are going to give her a chance, give US a chance. And there are surprisingly many people out there who have always enjoyed the music of the band, but never really liked Tarja's voice, because it was so high and loud and operatic. And they are like "Finally I can listen to this, because the singing is a bit easier to the ear." So there are a lot of those people as well. So for the fans we gonna lose, perhaps we gonna have new ones. www.blabbermouth.net/news/nightwish-mainman-talks-about-new-singer-upcoming-tour/

Tarja and Marco was the best thing, musically speaking, that gave us Nightwish as a band for so many years, an unbeatable duo within the Metal scene! Sadly the band and Tarja had internal problems that led the band to put an end to a great era with Tarja as the female singer! Thank you very much for this video, every day I enjoy watching your videos so much more!!!

Annette was told long prior to the tour not to get pregnant during the tour. Sadly she did & was ousted out for that reason...Her fault. Annette could never get to grips with earlier Nightwish songs but the songs that were wrote for her, she was amazing & quite quite wonderful. I loved Annette & her version of Poet & the Pendulum is stunning. The first album (Dark Passion Play) that she sung on was written for Tarja. Tarja wanted her solo career & said that she was leaving the band after the album Dark Passion Play. Her husband told Tarja that she was to charge more money for the album & tour Nightwish & Tarja couldnt come to terms & Tuomas left a letter in Tarja's dressing room saying that she was sacked from the band. Tarja did not know until the show was over that she had been sacked. Much the same as bass guitarist Sammy, who was replaced by Marco. Floor is wonderful with Nightwish as she has both styles of soprano singing of Tarja & Annette. Dark (Tarja) & bright (Annette) soprano. The scary part is that Tuomas has said that if anything happen to Floor & she leaves the band for any reason, that will be the end of Nightwish. He said that he didnt want to go though the training style that he wants for another Nightwish girl. So long live Floor as Nightwish singer !! Ha Ha !! Tuomas portrayed himself in the style Jack Sparrow. :) Marco had a throat operation & was told afterwards that he would never sing again...Marco proved those Drs wrong & thats why we hear that machine gun style rasp style in his voice. Listen to the song by Tarot, Wings of Darkness to hear Marco before his operation. Look for the video on KZitem that had the 19.80s Marco & his Brother :)

Yes, that was the first singer--Tarja. She didn't leave on her own, she was asked to leave by the band. Like others said, Tarja and her husband were trying to pull the band in a different direction that they did not want to go in. They spent a lot of time trying to work it out with her but ultimately they couldn't.

I'm sure someone will write a more elaborate comment on what happened with Tarja and the rest of the band, but a short version: Tarja got married, and with the influence of her husband, she got a manager of her own, separate from the band's manager, and the other members felt that she was putting her own interests above the band's interests and other accusations towards that area, and eventually (in 2005) they dismissed her from the band with an open letter, that also attacked her husband's influence on her. She wasn't given any prior notice, and she disagrees with what was said in the letter about her character. To me it seems a majority of the fans have sided with Tuomas on this issue, but it might be partially because a) they're still fans of Nightwish and b) we've mostly heard Tuomas' side of what's happened, as a lot of Dark Passion Play album's lyrics are him writing about how he felt about the event.

Honestly, firing her like that was pretty douchey, no matter if the claims made in the letter are true or not. They should at least have had the dignity to notify Tarja, before making a public announcement 😐 Also the diva claims seem a bit iffy, since other bands and musicians Tarja has worked with since leaving Nightwish (like Within Temptation) claim they haven't experienced any behaviour of that sort from her. So, I dunno. It seems like there are probably many layers to this case, that the public doesn't know about.

There are places in Marco's parts where he sings very cleanly - so you know the growl he mostly uses was a *choice*. I think it works wonderfully, it adds a primal menace to the Phantom part that is missing from the more classical versions. Yes, they really do make it seem like the song was meant to be done this way.

A word of caution ... If you ask 3 Nightwish fans about Tarja, Anette, and Floor, you're going to get 17 different answers, two monitors thrown out the window, and keycaps strewn around like lego pieces at a kid's birthday party. Especially when it comes to comparing performances of older songs. Tuomas wrote them to the strengths of each singer as they came in - so Tarja for this, Wish I Had An Angel, and Wishmaster (which BTW has a really funny misheard lyrics version), Anette has Poet and The Pendulum (which Tuomas wrote about the band's breakup *with* Tarja), and Floor with Greatest Show on Earth, Last Ride Of The Day Marco is just Marco ... and seriously underestimated ... I think it's the beard. People just can't stop watching it move in rapt fascination :) At the end of the day it's all silly, because if it wasn't for Jukka it'd all fall apart anyways. He's the real hero here *runs*

Great video, I love your low-key style. The reason it sounds like it was meant to be this way is because the original has a huge sound, there's an entire orchestra backing up the cast. Nightwish's version really keys into that, just amping up what is essentially a soft rock number into a harder style. And, yeah, that guy can just pound out the vocals; I really love his voice. It's so unique.

About the Tarja' departure, Tuomas wrote ¨The poet and the pendulum¨ This one particularly is pretty emotional, talks about himself during the time he had to let Tarja go and the depression he had about it besides the media storm he had to struggle. He divided the whole song into 5 parts, like a theatre play or something, pretty awaesome. The title of the song and some ideas are based on the work of Edgar Allan Poe "The pit and the pendulum" (The well and the pendulum), where a man waits in a dark room, empty and wet for his execution in the end dies beheaded by a blade that fell on his neck (that's why the sound of the blade before the last part of the song entitled "Mother and Father" begins) a half-moon blade balancing like a pendulum.

Well, Tarja got kicked from Nightwish due to various stuff that I don't remember here and now. Then they found another singer - Anette Olzon. Then she was kicked from the band because she couldn't join up for the tour they we're having on very short notice. Probably other issues as well. So they called in Floor to join the tour with them. And then Floor became part of the band. This is the short version. I'm sure others will give a more descriptive version. :)

Hi there, after this show the band fired her actually. Open letter and all, lots of drama. That was 2005 and then they held open auditions. Everyone could send in their tape. Anette Olzon became their new singer. She had a totally different style, more of a pop voice. Then, I think it was in 2012, the band parted ways with their second singer. Told the fans it was a mutual decision when in fact they didn’t want the same drama again. Apparently she was fired too. It was in the middle of their tour and the band never cancels shows. They asked Floor Jansen to step in as a temporary replacement. In the end she stayed as a full member and Troy who plays pipes and sings on the more recent albums also became a full member. Anette and Tarja are great singers in their own way, but personally I think Floor is the perfect fit for Nightwish. She can sing anything, from opera to growling. And she’s more metal than the others. Hope this helps, I look forward to other Nightwish songs. Amaranth is a more poppy song that Anette still sings best I think. That’s my suggestion;) Have a nice weekend!

New sub! :) Tarja did it fabulously, but Marco ./sigh he made that part sound so ominous and just, wow. Truly magic. You need to check out Wish I Had an Angel or Wishmaster from the same concert if you're interested in more of them together, and definitely check out Floor and Marco. Yea, I do still miss Tarja. ( I have a major kinship with her cause we're close in age plus I'm a girlie girl so I Iooooove her dresses lol) I don't know that firing her could have been prevented. Considering the emotions at the time, I don't think much else could have been expected. Will you please do Floor and Marco doing Romanticide? That was where that killer chromatic slide you gave her a point for the other day was from :) And also High Hopes and The Islander for more Marco

Tarja was fired, yes, and yes there was a drama going inside the band between the boys and crew VS. Tarja and her manager-husband Marcelo. They couldn't get along with the band anymore. They couldn't talk to each other for a year before the firing took place. Everything went through the emails basically and they saw each other (Tarja and the band) only in a concert places when doing sound checks and playing. Tarja and Marcelo flew town to town while the boys and the crew drove with their tour bus. Also Tarja and Marcelo lived in different hotel than the boys and the crew. Band accused Tarja &Marcelo greediness and not respecting the fans enough anymore, because they were not want to play only but the bigger venues anymore and Tarja wasn't willing to do the North America and Australia at all anymore. Tuomas said that if North America and Australia is out of the list then Nightwish wouldn't go to South America either. Also Tarja made the band clear that she was leaving the band anyway quite soon and were willing to do one more album and a mini tour (carefully selected places only) with them. This was the final nail to her coffin. The boys decided that it was better her to leave immediately after the on going tour ends. That was actually Marco (the bassist/2nd vocalist) who demanded that she leaves now or he would leave the band instead. Anette became the band in 2006 - officially in 2007 with their new album Dark Passion Play. She made it in a year 2012 when she got sick in September in the middle of North American tour and couldn't sing anymore. The band asked help with the band called Kamelot which was in the same city at the time, and asked if their backing singers Elize and Alissa could make a gig with them replacing Anette. And they did. After the gig Anette got really mad because she wanted to cancel that gig in the first place and because the boys didn't ask her permission to replacing her. After that episode she sang the next gig but couldn't continue anymore and she flew home to Sweden. Tuomas called Floor Jansen and asked if she could and want to do the rest of the tour with them. She did and flew immediately to Salt Lake City. She had only 48 hours to learn their setlist. Somehow she managed to do that! And then June 2013 in Tampere Finland Tuomas and the boys asked if she wanted to be an official vocalist of Nightwish from now on? She did and stayed the band. Same day Troy Donockley (the pipe man) joined the band officially.

Tarja is a trained opera singer actually. Nightwish were the first to ever mix metal music with classical female vocals (formed in 1994). But after about 10 years there were conflicts within the band over their musical style. It was basically Tarja who wanted to stay more classical vs Tuomas who wanted rather heavier music and vocal styles (meaning less operatic parts). On the other hand, Tuomas has had a crush on Tarja for quite a long time secretly and therefore was jealous on her husband who- as he said- turned Tarja from a nice girl into a diva (Background information: Tuomas and Tarja knew each other from their school days). Obviously those were the main reasons why Tarja left respectively was kicked off the band in 2005. Their second singer Annette Olzon was with them from 2007 until 2012 and had to leave due to health issues, a pregnancy (and probably again densities within the band). Floor joined them during their ongoing "Imaginaerum" World Tour in 2012 (as a replacement for Annette) and was announced as a permanent band member in 2013.
