Nightwish - Storytime (Live) (Anette)

Banda: Nightwish
Tema: Storytime
Album: Imaginaerum
Año: 2011

[@Aaron-zl5gq]

Anette's ability to sing faster songs is gold , people gave her so much crap for not having the stage presence but if you look at the songs she had to sing and how fast she had to sing it takes a lot of breath work to pull that off, if you look at Floor attempting these songs she struggles with them and cant go nearly as fast.

[@funcentral9121]

THIS!!!🙌 Those songs are so hard to sing in terms of breath, rhythm, speed that they will roll over you if you don't keep up. I tried to sing Amaranth and I was literally out of breath like running a marathon after the first chorus.... I think people who never sung themselves will have a hard time recognizing this because the songs sound so nice and melodical but they are actually cruel😅

[@steves5331]

I'm so glad somebody finally pointed this out. It takes a lot of skill and breath control to sing at such a quick tempo, and neither Tarja or Floor does it as well as Anette. Floor has even admitted she has trouble with some of the faster Anette songs, and that's why they are limited in the set list. Btw I love all three vocalists.

[@drekthar2447]

@@funcentral9121 Yes I agree, in addition if you have listened to the studio version of Storytime the phrases are superimposed together , I don't know how to explain, but once a sentence is almost finished, it begins , which is impossible to reproduce live and which makes it more difficult to reproduce live =)

i love Floor with all my heart, i love Tarja too. They are all talented, but to those who are putting Anette down, remember that 2 of nighwish's best selling and successful albums was sung with Anette as vocals. Open minded music lovers back then didn't compair but instead they appreciated the music that was created after Tarja's era, and that was amazing. Even Tuomas respected them enough to decline all the requests of having Floor re-record all the old songs.

[@phildsecond3934]

Anette's talent was so amazing her voice is rare and hard to copy she sounds like "aqua" she's beautiful too and descent lady on a metal band

[@sonjaemery]

November Harrow absolutely correct

[@marcofrassini9172]

Well, Rock and metal music used to sell A LOT in those years. No hate for Anette at all, I really respect her. To be honest I find Tarja the most overrated of the 3 Nightwish singers. She was monotonous, repetitive (always uses that Falsettone in evrything) and she never had to prove her skills singing songs written for another singer, on the other hand Floor and Anette had to do that, they had to proove their skills singing songs written to fit another singer (tarja). That aside , I respect Anette and loved the album with her but, to be fair, I don't find the argoment of "the CD with Anette sold a lot of copies" to be honest Metal and rock music used to sell TONS of copies in those years, not only Nightwish. The era post 2013-2014 is the hip pop/ trap/ Kpop, pop, elettronic era. Even Huge band like Korn and slipknot are selling a very low numbers of copies in their last albums confronted with the years of golden era of metal and rock music. And even leaving the metal world aside, evrey artist is struggling to sell copies nowadays. Always a lower number of people buy CD , even pop CD. Imaginarium was a great album but sold way less copies than Dark Passion Play, something like half of the copies. Why ? Because DPP was in 2007(great years for rock music and metal) and Imaginarium was relased in 2011 when the decrase of rock and metal was already beginning. In 2015 the metal industry was already down as hell. Just look at the numbers of cd sold by huge names like Slayer, Slipknot, Korn, Pearl Jam...all of their latest albums are bad selled albums confronted to their previous.

[@leftyme4568]

[@jeancarlosbenitez4032]

Curiosamente los doa albunes que Nightwish elaboro con Annette han sido de los mas vendidos en las historia discografíca de la banda, Annette fue una estrategia de tomas para abrirse a un mercado mas amplio y captar otro tipo de publico y a mi parecer lo logro.. todas son espectaculares cada una a su forma pero yo soy team Annette

[@pedrotrujillo2397]

.. Las voces poperas siempre venden más, pero eso no quiere decir que son mejores. Es como el McDonald's es la hamburguesa y alimento más vendido del mundo, pero no quiere decir que es el mejor alimento. No desmerito a Anette es buena voz, pero su rango es muy limitado. Por eso Toumas prefirió una voz como la de Jansen, más versátil para sus futuros proyectos el cual aunque no alcanzaron las ventas de Dark Passion Play, fueron más influyentes ya que por ejemplo "Human" fue el álbum de Nigthwish más escuchado de toda su carrera gracias al internet y el disco de Metal más pirateado del 2020 en todo el mundo según google.

I love Annette's voice so much, she's my favourite Nightwish singer. She doesn't deserve the hate she gets at all, completely uncalled for. Her voice is lovely in this, I wish there were more live videos with her.

[@Sanderus]

Check out, if you haven't already, Annette's original songs, she's genuinely very good in them. The problem was that she is a rock singer and was given largely metal material. Take another very good female rock singer, let's say Alanis Morisette - she'd also perform typically metal songs so so. But it cuts both ways, switch the material and Tarja/Floor could very well be underwhelming in rock material.

[@odethsan666]

Es que en sí los dos álbumes que grabó están hechos para ella, también es la primera vez que veo esta canción en vivo con Anette y me gustó mucho, pero a nivel de Tarja (con su tono de ópera) obvio las canciones anteriores no alcanza los tonos, y Floor (que es mi favorita por siempre) tiene esa combinación entre metal y ópera que a todos nos vuelve locos, y sin problema canta los éxitos anteriores como los nuevos. No tengo nada contra Anette, pero de verdad no me gusta como canta las demás canciones, yo por eso dejé de escuchar a Nightwish cuando ella entró. Tiene muy chida energía pero el mismo Tuomas lo dijo "su personalidad no encajaba con el resto de Nightwish" 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think Anette performances are actually a hit or miss, for example this was pretty good in my opinion, I don't expect her to try and sing opera, and she controlled the voice as much as she could without overdoing. A lot of other times I heard her change the melody or doing always the same things with her voice in random parts of the song and a lot of times it didn't turn out well.

[@jiripesta3984]

well written

[@maxrav1831]

fair enough but so does floor . Listen to Waken 2018 and you'll realise it's not just Annette the touring is a tiring business for the girls. But when Annette gets it right I don't think Floor can touch her on most songs.

[@81giorikas]

Live is another thing alltogether. She has the stronger midrange voice of all them three and that is a blessing and a curse. I mean floor can't do this song like her but when she goes high like on the poet she even does the choir boy tenor voices lol. Which is different. Tarja is zero on the lower registers and midrange as well...she sings unforgiven and it makes it operetic. Well everybody does its own thing I guess. Annete is the most easily exposed. She would do gospel pop rock etc great.

magnifica, gran grupo y gran cantante, sus conciertos super entretenidos, cada una de las vocalistas de Nightwish a tenido exito, Annete tal vez no tenga el rango vocal de Tarja ni su elegancia, tal vez no tenga la voz de Floor y su presencia, pero su actitud , su estilo y conexión con el público es maravillosa

[@juyifan7933]

Thats because this song is set in a lower range. In the songs were she doesnt have to belt high notes she does well. But when she has to sing at the top of her range she struggles. The problem is that she came following Tarja who can sing almost an entire octave higher than her, so most of the old songs were out of her confortable range. And even many of the songs written for her, in a few songs she would be required to hold G5's, which she just couldnt do consistently live and would either crack or go flat. The constant cracking on the high belt parts also affects the rest of the performance as the voice feels sour as a result.

[@Kel_po]

Este álbum es de Anette, mejoró muchísimo, una pena que no la valoren, pero aunque les duela esta canción queda mucho mejor con su voz que con la de Floor.

A mí sí me encanta "Storytime" en voz de Floor pero solo en el "Showtime Storytime", qué presentación tan llena de energía. Luego la volví a escuchar en el "Vehicle of Spirit" y "Live in Buenos Aires" y terminó sonando acartonada, simplemente tratando de repetir una fórmula, se siente vacía.

[@tredorre6590]

I think every Nightwish singer has a reason to be and I don't think they've ever chosen a wrong or bad singer. Anette may not have had the control of Tarja or the power of Floor but she did have her own personality and lyricism, and to be honest she is the one who sounds the most like her studio version live (on her own songs). The issue for me was that she could unfortunately not carry Tarja's songs, but many of my Nightwish favourites are on Imaginareum anyway... My point in the end is it's useless to hate anyone. I've seen many Floor haters in these comments and like... ok? She can sing many of both Tarja's and Anette's songs beautifully live, she's versatile and knows how to carry a show, so even if you preferred Anette you can't deny Floor's power and vocal ability. Just like I, who prefers Floor, can't deny Anette's or Tarja's talent. Let's just enjoy Nightwish now ok :)

[@CelestisForgeUK]

Tredorre They all have their own style, and while I have my utmost respect for Tarja, and just LOVE Floor, Anette has an undeniable advantage that on my list of favourite songs from Nightwish, half of the songs are performed by Anette. Just think about that for a moment. My ultimate night’s wish is to see all three of them on the same stage, each shine in their own area. Because as much as I respect Tarja and love Floor, neither of them could perform Amaranth or The Islander (just to name my top favourites from the Anette era) in a way that satisfied me. If only they would all be still part of Nightwish, working together and do what they do best and let the another do their best where they cannot (if it makes sense). That would be heaven. Well... perhaps in another life.

[@tredorre6590]

@@CelestisForgeUK I wholeheartedly agree with you! Most of my favourite songs are also from Anette's time but I must admit there are a lot of them which I prefer when Floor is singing them live, which is why she is my favourite Nightwish singer. But Anette does have many songs that are way better when she sings them, like slow, love slow which I LOVE!

[@lyric8893]

It was the night before When all through the world No words, no dreams Then one day A writer by a fire Imagined all of Gaia Took a journey into a child-man's heart... A painter on the shore Imagined all the world Within a snowflake on his palm Unframed by poetry A canvas of awe Planet Earth falling back into the stars I am the voice of Never, Never Land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan A silent kite against the blue, blue sky Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real Every memory that you hold dear I am the journey I am the destination I am the home The tale that reads you A way to taste the night The elusive high Follow the madness Alice you know once did Imaginarium, a dream emporium! Caress the tales And they will dream you real A storyteller's game Lips that intoxicate The core of all life Is a limitless chest of tales... I am the voice of Never, Never Land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan A silent kite against the blue, blue sky Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real Every memory that you hold dear I am the voice of Never, Never Land The innocence, the dreams of every man Searching heavens for another earth... I am the voice of Never, Never Land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan A silent kite against the blue, blue sky Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real Every memory that you hold dear

Floort is the best but Anette in story time is one of the beat nw songs.

I Love You ANETTE OLZON.

[@alvares714]

Anette may not be the best singer Nightwish had, but the most beautiful one for sure

[@sergiu234nfs]

Matter of taste.

as a previous"tarja-only, thank god for floor, forget anette "nightwish fan I've finally grown the fuck up and went over to see how she's doing in the dark element and I'm a fan of her now. idk what went down within the band but she's a part of nightwish's story and I think she's handled the drama in a mature complete opposite way of what a "diva-complex" would've. imo time has shown her character, she tried her best to cover tarja's originals , not even floor can totally replace tarja's sound. which makes fucking sense, like why would we want a tarja 2.0? 3.0? tarja's voice is unique that's why we liked her in the first place, suggesting she can be replaced is stupid. and suggesting anette and floor are only her replacements is also stupid. anyway THIS PERFORMANCE WAS REALLY GOOD.

[@chrstiania]

I totally agree. Back in the day when Nightwish had their first album, I really liked the idea of their sound but I just couldn't get into Tarjas voice. I even tried to pretend I liked them and listenend to their songs regularly. But at one point I just had to admit to myself that it's just not for me. More than a decade later I come across their Wacken show with Floor. I was totally surprised that there was a new singer and thought "Nightwish without Tarja, how's that gonna work?" but one minute later I was blown away by Nightwish with Floor. Only then I realised how much I missed, Tarja being fired, Anette, Anette being fired... I like Anette. If I had known her back then, she would have gotten me into Nightwish. Having missed all the drama, I feel like Anette never had a chance. Not because of her or because she did something wrong. But Tarja was such a big part in Nightwish, people missed her unique voice. While I agree that Floor sounds "more" Nightwish than Anette with her operatic and metal training, I don't think the fans would have welcomed her with such open arms if she directly replaced Tarja and not Anette. Anette was the rebound singer the band and the fans needed.

[@PrototypeBeatLab]

Where did they find her? At a karaoke bar for country music?

[@floorjansenhaters1659]

We miss you Anette :(

[@gazprom8731]

Storytime is Anette, but how is possible to hate Floor?🤔

[@Dianen65]

@@gazprom8731 some people just want to spread their poisonous hatred

[@alejandrogarcia-md9zq]

Cada vocalista que tuvo nightwish tienen sus sello impreso en los respectivos álbumes que grabaron, ya que ninguna canción se siente igual si no se escucha la vocalista original, por más que se diga que una canta mejor que otra, y definitivamente Dark passion play e Imaginaerum, son los discos de Anette Pd: Tuomas es quien supo adaptar las voces de cada una para crear esas obras maestras y que Anette llego en la época más turbulenta de nighwish, y se rifo sin titubear

[@rolandconnor575]

I can't believe she could not sing the middle interlude and had to have a recording. More evidence that Floor is not of this world.

[@MNISZECZ]

So why she has to? Choir part is the choir part, it sounds sterlingly itself. Anette was good and organic at singing her part

[@rolandconnor575]

Floor didn't have to either, but she did! Wacken 2013 is the Platinum standard! If you haven't seen it, you can't make a reasonable judgment.@@MNISZECZ

[@FluffyLaDooDoo]

@@rolandconnor575Some singers don’t have to do it if they don’t want to. Floor likes freestyling a lot and it gets redundant sometimes I rather hear the band play their parts or hear the choir by itself, it’s ok to freestyle or sing along but it becomes too much after awhile

[@evgenyavgerinov5865]

👍🌹👏🥂❤

[@roquefore]

She's really good along with studio editing, but no chance in comparison with Tarja or Floor live

[@uhtredragnarsson7153]

Exspecialy with Floor..even Tarja..in this song..live Wacken 2013 is NW best concert..

[@ImNotReallyHereMCFC]

I agree but to be fair they're not the same type of vocalists

[@metalor5605]

Her "teenage" voice really fits this song. Way better than Floor.
