It's surprising that no one has created a thread about them yet :D, so I'll do it (or rather, I've already created it):rolleyes: So, what was I talking about? Oh yes:
Nightwish is a Finnish metal band that primarily performs songs in English. It was formed in 1996 in the city of Kitee. Nightwish's early work was characterized by a combination of the operatic vocals of former vocalist Tarja Turunen and the heavy atmosphere of power metal. This style is most often defined as power metal and symphonic metal. The voice of the current vocalist, Anette Olzon, is significantly different from the group's previous voice. Although they achieved success in their home country after their first single, they only gained worldwide recognition after the albums "Oceanborn" (1998) and "Wishmaster" (2000), with music videos that were successful on well-known television channels.
I like the band, both with the old and the new vocalist;)

I used to like them a lot too, but now I’m kind of tired of them.
I wanted to create such a topic a long time ago:smile06: I was just too lazy. Meg beat me to it, what a pfchfytw!:D Actually, you can talk about Nightwish for a very long time, so I'm just providing a link to boost your karma for those who are not familiar with them - it has quite a detailed description of the band, plus pictures and videos.;)
Actually, this is my favorite band:cool: In principle, their style is mixed - symphonic-power-gothic-epic metal with operatic vocals and serious keyboard riffs:D, but roughly speaking, it's just symphonic metal. Previously, Tarja Turunen sang in the band, but then the guys decided that she was after money and popularity, and they kicked her out:smile48: although I think Tuomas probably didn't find it easy to fire her, they had been together since the first grade... Now they have a new vocalist, Anette
And what do you think, who is younger, Tarja or Anette??:rolleyes: Of course... Tarja! She is 33 now, and Anette is already 38!!!!!!! They say, oh, Anette is more beautiful... But she sings in a different style (as an ordinary username would say - "THIS IS CRAP COMPARED TO TARJA!":smile42: ) But this is Nightwish's choice, and I'm not going to argue, because the new vocalist was even more heavily criticized if she had imitated the incomparable Tarja.. And also... Anette's breasts are sagging:smile52: I'm for the first vocalist!:)
Olzon broke down, I really feel sorry for her!!!
Maybe some people don't know about the recent incident that happened with Nightwish during their Brazilian tour, when Anette couldn't finish the long 14-minute ballad "The Poet and the Pendulum" and, during the last part, "Thomas's Mother," she started crying and left the stage. Later, she explained that this was due to the influence of special effects, specifically the smoke, which affected her vocal cords and, consequently, her performance. In reality, there could be many reasons, including the fact that fans in the front rows were making obscene gestures and loudly shouting the name of the former vocalist, Tarja Turunen. And here, one can understand the situation Anette found herself in. I think, as a person, she can be understood; if anyone should be blamed, it's Thomas, because he "politely" asked Tarja to leave the band. I agree that Anette doesn't fit the band's image right now; her vocals are more like a voice from the iron-b style, and her stage appearance is sometimes shocking – you would hardly find such clothes even in a second-hand store. But when the riff-raff in the front rows buy tickets only to insult the current vocalist, shouting things like "Anette, you're a B*TCH!" or making unpleasant gestures, and they bring the girl to tears – that's not good, and I really feel sorry for her.
I can't stand seeing a crying girl; excuse me, but no, I want to hug her, comfort her, say a few encouraging words – "It's okay, Anya, calm down, calm down."
(By the way, Marko finished singing Thomas's Mother's part – poor Thomas, he'll have such a mother in his dreams.)))

WhiteLizard, you are right, I agree!:D
Okay, let's create a poll about who is better, Tarja or Anette: [br][/br]Tarja might be a better singer, but she became arrogant, which is probably why she was kicked out of the band.

And by the way, this ballad is correctly called "The Poet and the Monument": D How you feel about such "love" is up to you, but to me, it's just "not very fan-like" - it's already annoying, and on all forums, it's the same old story: Tarja's fans and Anette's fans are swearing at each other with vulgar language, advising each other to "masturbate to this ugly woman," and then explaining where to go and what to do! Seriously, is this how it should be? We're fans of the same band!

fans of Tarja and Anneke
I'm not a fan of either Tarja or Anneke :) As usual, I remain neutral :) But both have great voices :)
Just noticed, in the poll, I wrote "for both" instead of "for each" :D
So, shall we talk about our favorite albums and songs? :[br][/br]Album? I don't know which one, because each one has good and not-so-good songs :)
And my favorite song... Hmm... Let's say Cadence of her last breath.
The song is quite something (because they have better songs :), but I somehow like it :))
Fans standing in the front rows were making obscene gestures and together shouting the name of the former vocalist, Tarja Turunen.
And then they call themselves fans :\. Maybe they thought that by showing their dissatisfaction, they would bring Tarja back? NO, THEY DID NOT :)
Besides, what bad thing did Anette do that everyone is slandering her? What did she do to offend the Haven fans? It's as if it was because of her that Tarja was kicked out...

In my opinion, it's an amazing band. I enjoy listening to them. By the way, they are the only band with a female vocalist among all the ones I listen to regularly :) I've never done a detailed analysis of the band's lyrics, but as far as I know, there are fantasy themes present. And, subjectively, the melodies of some of their songs have fantasy motifs, especially their album Wishmaster (my favorite album by the band) evokes them.
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
