This is so great. I remember seeing this like 2 weeks after the concert, and my jaw dropped. Tarja is magic! I love the classical instruments on the one side, rock instruments on the other, Tarja in the middle with the great voice and the snow! It's just magic. :)
you're right man!!! I thinks everybody loves Tarja... but listen this walking in the air version,, isn't as bad as i thought when when i listened it first time.. she's doing her best and i gonna be ther for her. Enjoy Tarja!!
You only get the right to tell someone that their voice sucks if you can prove that your voice is better. This woman is beautiful and has a beautiful voice. If this woman's voice sucks... what does that say about your voice?
The way the song is performed here, it could well become a modern Christmas classic, even though it has nothing to do with Christmas. But neither do a lot of other Christmas songs, like "Walking in a Winter Wonderland."
I like both Annette and Tarja, they both braught amazing things to Nightwish. I love Tarja's albums, and I love Dark Passion Play. When I think about it, my favourite song on DPP, witch is Bye Bye Beautiful, was written about Tarja. So, without Tarja leaving, it wouldn't have been written (:
i think she looks happier. i miss her at Nightwish but it seems now that she was not quite herself there. i'm looking forward to see her unfold her own personality in the songs she chooses. i think it will be an exciting journey. Good luck Tarja!
It IS an old lineup Nightwish song, BUT... you gotta remember that Tarja had a hand in writing the majority of the songs in Nightwish as well. Sooo... you can say... it is her song (she usually was the writer of lyrics).
The soul of this song is in the delicate nature of the singer's voice and in the relaxed and distinct complement of the instruments. Her tone is rough, the instruments are rough, and guitar solos? I'm gone.
my French isn't very good but i have to say a couple of things.tarja is a singer with a unique voice. combined with the amazing talent of tuomas the result was pure magic. nightwish will never be the same but that doesnt mean that they will be bad since tuomas will never (i hope)stop composing such beautiful melodies.tarja will still sing as beautiful as she used to be, but the lack of tuomas inspiration will be obvious.
I learned about this song and Tarja before I knew about Nightwish. I only started listening to Nightwish recently and have been reading about the breakup. IMO, the band never really accepted that to be what they wanted her to be onstage, Tarja could not be "just one of the guys" offstage. Taking care of her voice required things that the band & management could not provide consistently even after 9 years. Even so, she was willing to record another album and tour for it before leaving.
OK, but seriously. She's a professional. She's a performer. This is what she does. This is how she eats and pays the bills. Whatever the reason for the breakup, life goes on. Change is inevitable. And all those other cliches. Why should she deny the world her beautiful voice singing this beautiful song because she's not with Nightwish anymore?
