I am sure most of you have heard of Nightwish, and those of you who even come close to fans should know that they have replaced Tarja with a woman named Anette Olzon, and released a new single. First, some links: Nightwish - Eva on YouTube Anette's Profile On Nightwish's Official Website. Now, what are your opinions on the song, and etc? I personally like the song a lot, and Anette totally owns Tarja in ballads, but I do not know what Anette sounds like doing the heavier songs, and if she sings the older songs, will she **** them up? Really, I don't think they should have replaced Tarja with the same name of Nightwish, it's really hard to remove the frontwoman and still keep the same name, especialy when the newer fans will not know anything about it. :o But Eva is very addicting. |

I've never heard of Nightwish, so I can't really offer any sort of comparison between Anette and Tarja. However, she does have a pretty voice. I agree that they should probably change the name though... changing a guitarist, or drummer isn't so bad... but the frontwoman? Nah... people generally idolise those people and come to associate them with the band, if a new frontwoman comes in you can't really expect the fans to love her right off. Was "Eva" song by Tarja before she left and Anette covered it, or is that the first new song Anette has done with the band? If the latter is true, then I think it'd be fair to wait until she's sung a song that Tarja has too, then pass judgement. |

I heard the new single a few days ago. She's not as good as Tarja was, but she's not bad. Can't wait to see what the whole album sounds like. |

Thank god.. I've been waiting for them to get a new singer. Tarja was the only reason I didn't really like listening to NW often. |

Love it. The singer doesn't really matter, Nightwish's strength was the music. Always has been. |

I didn't really like Tarja at all, and I like the new one a lot more. She doesn't sound like anything special to me, but she's a lot better IMO. |

Yes, but it becomes a problem when the singer starts to become annoying to listen to

From what I've heard, I like Tarja better. I thought her voice was excellent. |
