Has anyone got hold of this album?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Winter-St...m_m_h__title_3

Tarja has an amazing voice, and there are a few gems on this CD, with her cover of "Poison" and "I Walk Alone"

Anyone who has not heard of Tarja or Nightwish should go on youtube and look up some of their songs. Its a mixture of opera and metal, some of it has a "goth" feel to it.

I'm also enjoying the new Nightwish material, despite Tarja not being on it

Tarja and Nightwish are both amazing! Love the new material.

Don't expect too many replies on this forum though, the majority here won't listen to any music outside of the mainstream, even if Tarja's music and voice is 1000x more than that of Leona Lewis.

There is only three women on this planet who can sing like that.

Celione Dion, Tarja and Leanne Rymes

They have completely different voices?

I haven't heard any of Tarja's solo music yet but I loved her Nightwish stuff. I don't think Nightwish are the same without her, I do like Annette's voice but I don't think it really gels with the style of the music.

Oh I wondered what Tarja Turunen had been up to since Nightwish. She does have a brilliant voice. I like what I've heard of Nightwish's newer material though, and I quite like the new girl.

The new vocalist Anette is incredible. The videos you see of concerts really don't do her voice justice. Saw them live on Saturday and it was the best gig I've ever been to. Her interaction with the crowd is really sweet too, as is the band chemistry.

Tarja's voice is incredible, but I wasn't blown away by her new album. It was lacking that oomph that Nightwish music has. But I love 'Lost Northern Star', 'Boy And The Ghost' and 'Oasis' (I noticed a snippet of a Hans Zimmer track in there).

I love the use of choir also in every song where they're present, but as I said, I wasn't amazed by it. Great starting point however.

I'm reserving judgement on the new singer until after I've seen her at Bloodstock but apparently she's been in great form on Nightwish's current tour.

I do love Tarja's operatic style though. The only downside to her solo stuff is that the song writing is not as strong as Nightwish's in my opinion. It needed Tuomas (sp?) - the Nightwish keyboardist behind it and that's never going to happen.


Anyone read the open letter as to why she was sacked? It's interesting reading and shows why they seem to be a closer band with Annette.
