[@refixxxer]

Slow, Love, Slow Come and share this painting with me Unveiling of me, the magician that never failed This deep sigh coiled around my chest Intoxicated by a major chord I wonder Do I love you, or the thought of you? Slow, love, slow Only the weak are not lonely Southern blue, mornign dew Let-down-your-guards, I-love-you's Ice-cream castles, lips to ear rhymes A slumber deeper than time Slow, love, slow Only the weak are not lonely

[@Tirryna]

I have a feeling if she sang this now, she'd be 100x better. This was still early in the tour and she was getting used to the songs. This tour was the first time she performed in over 2 years after a bad burn out episode...It's a very inspirational story. She used to be able to sing bluesy for After Forever.

Haha, Marco's reaction in the beginning

[@danilolapierre5610]

Floor got so much better at singing this song over the years. If I had to rate this 2012 version vs. Anette's version, I'd rank the latter higher for sure. But check out Floor's solo performance at Amsterdam, 2022. It's an even more jazz style version. It's amazing! Floor might not be able to duplicate each song, but she surely can make every song her own. Floor was very good when she joined Nightwish in 2012 but since then she has even further evolved. She's the complete package now.

[@Spenfen]

As much as I adore Floor and I think that she is the perfect lead singer for Nightwish, this particular song can only sound amazing when Anette sings it. I think that Anette was probably my least favorite singer, but all the songs on Imaginaerum were written perfectly for her voice and she sounded amazing on them anyway. Floor can do some of them, but only Anette can do this one.

[@alissonoliveira7960]

Sounds more than amazing for me. you think like that because listen the Anette version first!

[@Spenfen]

Alisson Bryan that's a lie. I like floor's version of amaranth and poet and the pendulum better. I also prefer floor's version of ghost love score, ever dream, and bless the child. Floor's versions of imaginaerum's songs are good, but they were written for Anette and they'll probably always sound best with her voice.

[@alissonoliveira7960]

+Spenfen For me Storytime, Song of Mysel, Last Ride of the Day, Ghost River, I Want My Tears Back, sound a thousand of times better with Floor, and almost all Dark Passion Play songs. So "the album was wrote for Anette to sing" doesn't exist!

[@Snerual1992]

The Wacken performance of those three songs you like is pretty good. Especially Ghost Love Score and Ever Dream. I actually don't like Floor's Amaranth of that show though.

[@barryfilter2364]

I agree with you, this song was written for Anette and that sultry voice she uses during that song. Love Floor but she can't be compared to the original version.

[@davidjeffrey1]

Why oh why was this left out from the new live dvd ? BIG error

[@nightwishfan06]

They already hired her permanently :) (They released an article about it on the Nightwish website)

This song is made for Anette,

[@pearly32914]

Miss Anette. Only she can sing this song perfectly.

[@shahzadpharma786]

AGREED THATS RIGHT

[@SirLionofBiff]

Are you nuts? Floor's version of this is a sure-fire ticket to increase birth rates. I couldn't stand listening to Annette's version of this. Then again, I couldn't listen to half of what Olzen sang.

[@sonjaemery]

[@ShebangsPrP]

I Disagree. Floor's voice is so Beautiful...than Anette

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Holy moly, I want an official music video of this! I've seen the one they made with Anette, and it is absolutely gorgeous, and Anette is great! The only thing in that video is, that it includes too much talk and too little singing. I want new one with Floor!

[@meela1000]

You know, she sounds in "Slow,Love,Slow" as good as Anette did and I like it a lot. It's a pity Anette had to leave especially because she just started to sound 10 levels better than on DPP, but Floor is as good, sometimes even better as her voice is for me something between Tarja and Anette somehow so she can sing old and new songs very good. I hope she'll stay! :)

[@cvetageorgieva4312]

No. This is the Dutch "chick" that replaced the Swedish one for the tour ;) And you should check her material - its heavier than NW

Seen fan videos with Floor even before this in the states and they were jazzier than this one. Also Marco was impressed.

[@CocoDiMusici]

I like Anette's version way better *hehe* I can't believe I say that, but this album is perfectly written for her voice :p

[@sarabenmamas5944]

This is in my opinion the most humbling proof that no matter how awesome someone is, they can never be superior in everything. Here's to the people trashing Anette, saying she had no talent. Floor may make wonders with her voice but this'll always be Anette's song. The beauty in music is that you can make it so it can fit everyone perfectly, that was the case with that song, it was made so perfectly for Anette that even Floor sounds awful singing it.

[@tarot-mx1zc]

I see your comments and I do not read anything objective, just the passion to defend your favorite singer. They praise too much to tarja and floor and despise anette, they are 3 very different singers, they have qualities and defects 3. listen or mio bambino caro by giacomo puccini in voice of floor is exqusito, I like it more than with tarja, it is much better opera singer than the Finnish, but no mamen, the version of the poet and the pendulo with floor is appalling, and no for her, if not for the arrangement that Toumas made for her in that arrangement until Marko is heard frightening. I think that whether or not you like a song with any of the 3 singers that nightwish has had in its history, it also depends on the arrangement that Mr. Toumas makes to the voice in question. There are 3 different vocal ranges and profiles, you can not expect a non-operative voice, formed in rock and blues as anette sing as a lyric singer, with a lot of school and vice versa. In any case, it was the fault of Mr. Toumas in selecting her at the time and not from Anette, she sang with her record and what was her musical education. Personally, I think rock, metal, pop, jazz and the blues, the lyric singers have nothing to do, so I liked more anette than floor or tarja, I'm from the old school, singers like wendy or wiliams, ann wilson, tina turner, doro, janis jopilin, grace slick Lita Ford, Aretha Franklin, Eta James, Big Mom Thornton or Rosetha Thorpe dominated the world of blues, rock and metal, Anette is closer to them than their metal goddesses aspiring opera singers. anette his voice is closer to his record to a mezzo-soprano with good bass than to a dramatic soprano like tarja with very good bass or a lyric like floor with a very sharp voice and poor in bass. therefore it seems stupid to expect that floor sound like anette in this song, or that anette sounds like tarja in ghost love score, where by the way floor makes it better than the two of them. Stop stupid nonsense and debates, in its moment and style, the 3 were fantastic. Best enjoy the music and your favorite singer and do not be fucking with the one you do not like or like

[@doubleplay1919]

is this the same swedish chick they hired after tarja?

[@SlkSedna]

Compare just the live version of Annette to this, Floor is much better. Do not compare to a album version that is not the "real" thing.

[@sonjaemery]

Sara Gaspar no! Anette’s live version is far superior. Did you hear the ending? Cats yoweling

[@leosurname6993]

yeah, if you like giraffes lol

[@kjvail]

Annette who?

[@LigeiaNoire]

ok no, her vocals don't suit the bluesy tone of this song... not as versatile as many want to believe.

[@DrakeSilmore]

+Ligeia Noire Oh, wow, she can't sing blues, now she completely isn't versatile anymore. You're completely right :o This completely negates the fact that she can sing harsh vocals, growls, opera, rock and pop.

[@LigeiaNoire]

DrakeSilmore Did you read what I wrote?

[@DrakeSilmore]

Ligeia Noire Yes, she is still versatile is what I tried to say. No she can't sing Slow Love Slow, mostly because it is not her song and she didn't have much time at all to practice it. I tend to get very defensive when people bash Floor in these kinds of situations. I think it's unfair to say somebody is not as versatile as one believes when they can't do one specific thing.

[@LigeiaNoire]

No just one though... Old songs and some Anette songs she cannot sing properly I just think people glorify her an bash Anette too much when there are good points and bad points to both of them.

[@DrakeSilmore]

Ligeia Noire I also hate it when people bash Anette. She cannot do operatic, but I like the two Nightwish albums with here far more than any of the Tarja albums. Just keep in mind that these shows were about 1-2 months after Floor suddenly had to start singing for Nightwish (and learn all their songs), so it's true she won't be able to do everything as well as she should, but it's not always because she can't. When there is a new live album in which she sings a lot of classic songs, then you can accurately judge whether she can sing those songs or not.

[@sonjaemery]

That ending was horrible eww. only Anette can sing this. Sorry Floor
