Nightwish - Bless the child (live 2003)

Nightwish with Tarja was EPIC. If she doesn't make you feel something special, you are not human.

[@georgianasutu5882]

I love Tarja and I appreciate Floor. But Tarja just had the drama and sensitivity fit for these songs. Floor does great vocally and show-wise, but I don't get the emotion I get from Tarja's performance. I have huge respect for both of them.

[@lynnclark7120]

Tarja has become my favorite female rock singer

Here she is In The band and on End of an Era she is on stage with the band.

Wow, these Century Child-era performances are the best! This was the full Nightwish power! Love it.

[@patricioalvarado2029]

Floor is a great singer but Tarja is unequalled...to listen to this song by Tarja it's actually a wonder...she sings like an angel...I love her!

[@onlythtruth2938]

yah, seeing it each time is as though seeing it anew..and NW new album is relegating creativity and metal itself, to a tertiary role..while Floor is even less powerful than before..

[@pch3339]

Tarja has a deep Operatic voice, it sounds so nice when she sings this song and songs like Deep Silent Complete and the others. It doesn't sound the same with Floor at all, Floor's voice, even though she can reach high notes, is not the same deep operatic quality. It's strange how some people think that Floor's voice can replace Tarja's.

[@yellow-powerftw9058]

floor is just a singer, nothing more, nothing less.

OMG!!!! this voice is the best in the world!! I LOVE YOU TARJA FOREVER 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Awadea82]

The contrast with her bombastic voice and the bombastic sound has never been so lived out within Nightwish as with Tarja. Even if Tuomas always denies it, the old things of Tarja were written for her bombastic voice. These songs can only be sung by a classically trained voice because only then it will sound perfect. My ears are spoiled and for this reason I prefer to watch the old performances of the old stuff than newer ones. Such classics from Tarja I want to hear and see only with Tarja. These songs were made for her voice. You can hear it.

[@bornready6924]

so true, her low register of the first 3 albums was so rich and resonating....

[@ilkkak3065]

@@bornready6924 I agree. Their first 3 albums were so good. I mean Once is good album but It's missing some of that magic that they had on Whismaster. You can hear something changed after Wishmaster album. Perhaps chemistry of band...?

[@bornready6924]

@@ilkkak3065 certainly...first real worldwide highly exhaustive tour, ..Tarja, after many years of feeling ignored and neglected, hires a personal manager to represent her interests..surely Tuomas felt a though his authority was being chipped away .... then..boom...the onstage attack on Tarja takes place and her new manager is the one who comes to her aid while the boys (judging by the youtube clip and her testimony) seem more interested in continuing the song than seeing to her well being...her manager was quite angry at their response or should i say , lack of a response...that further aggravated Tuomas

[@vanessalore9942]

Wow, this video is 17 years old. Amazing! For me, this is Tarja’s best vocal performance of this song (that I’ve seen) it’s so sad she was sick for the End of an Era concert. She still sounds great but you can tell the subtle differences. Well, regardless, I enjoy all of them

[@yarcastro9858]

Pues hay muchos rumores, dicen que no se quiso acostar con el barbudo, si fue eso, se debió sentir humillado al perder con un Argentino. El segundo, los duetos de Tarja, no le gustaba (otra vez al barbudo) que Tarja hiciera duetos, porque era Tarja, no Nigthwhis, una especie de celos. Tercer rumor, Tarja quería descansar creo que un año, y el barbudo no, él pensó que Tarja los hacía a un lado para preparar una carrera de solista, como para ver, sino la hacía sola, regresar con el grupo, él toma la decisión de apartarla del grupo; hay un video muy emotivo de Tarja.

[@albertobastar2363]

¿El barbudo? ¿No se supone que fue Tuomas el del problema con Tarja? El barbudo es Marko y con él Tarja ya hasta tuvo un encuentro en el escenario. El de la decisión de correrla de la banda fue Tuomas, el líder. Según él que porque Tarja tenía ya actitudes de diva, pero curiosamente con esas actitudes se refiere a que Tarja se había casado y prefería viajar con su esposo en los tours. Efectivamente, parece más bien un asunto de celos y hasta de machismo, como si Tarja tuviera que haber sido propiedad exclusiva de Nightwish, como si no hubiese tenido el derecho de casarse y estar con su marido. Admiro mucho a Tuomas como artista, pero como persona se ha portado mal con las vocalistas (hay que ver también cómo dejó a Anette fuera de la banda, sólo por enfermarse a medio tour). Esperemos que haya madurado y no le haga algo parecido a Floor que, después de Tarja, es lo mejor que pudo pasarle a la banda.

Tarja no one is the same as you, amazing..

[@ioanacherciu3724]

People need to realize that only Tarja can sing the old songs and not because Floor is not good, because she is one of the best singers ever, but because when Floor sings it, it feels like someone is singing some lyrics while Tarja gave the impression of not only interpreting someone's lyrics but feeling and connecting with them like the lyrics are singing themselves. It's not about the vocal tehnique, but about the feeling which only Tarja had.

[@darky2106]

THANK YOU!!! I'm listening whole night to the live versions of Tarja... they are even better from the released songs.

[@vxz76]

Indeed. Plus the main reason the band started was in order to combine a voice like Tarja's with metal...

lyrics "I was born amidst the purple waterfalls I was weak, yet not unblessed Dead to the world. Alive for the journey One night I dreamt a white rose withering A newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness I dreamt all my future. Relived my past And witnessed the beauty of the beast" Where have all the feelings gone? Why has all the laughter ceased? Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child How can I ever feel again? Given the chance would I return? Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time I've never felt so alone in my life As I drank from a cup which was counting my time There's a poison drop in this cup of Man To drink it is to follow the left hand path Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time "Where have all the feelings gone? Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you? Now unblessed, homesick in time Soon to be freed from care, from human pain My tale is the most bitter truth Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron Hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name The Child bless thee & keep thee forever"

Nightwish is like pipes - you need to keep them fully maintained or they will start to leak. They had a leak which made Tarja leave the band and then they try to patch the leak with Annette but it is only a temporary fix. So Tarja is like the original pipe that fits with the other pipes and Annette is like one placed by your repair man.
