Tarja was a Siren. Floor is a Valkyrie. Annette was a Sorceress. All of them magical for different reasons. And in case anyone asks me. Marco is a Viking, and Tuomas is a wizard.

For a long time I was pretty tough with the posture that Tarja was the ideal combination for the band. Today, sickly I have to admit and I am convinced that Floor is a unique singer, she has really made me rediscover new sensations when it comes to music. time ago I did not accept it, today I can say that it was one of the best things that could happen to this band.

[@stromerbuffy2203]

the only thing I've missed if Floor sings the old Nightwish songs is this volumination timbre that Tarjas voice got.I miss this operatic style. But Floor is the best singer that could happend to the band.

Уважаемый, я услышал в 2005 именно эту композицию ещё в исполнении Тарии и влюбился. потом Анет была, так себе. Но Флор вдохнула новую жизнь. Это шедевр.

[@Fifth2004]

@@TM-td9wb , лично моё мнение : Тарьюшка- вот это Богом меченная певица ! Ни эта Флор, ни Аннет рядом не стояли ! Найтвиш без Тарьи - не Найтвиш. Не моё это уже, как ни печально, а нет больше того запредельно ураганного и одновременно душевного Найтвиш.

[@Fifth2004]

Инна, я свою супругу на тяжеляк подсадил с помощью баллад Хеллоуин и Найтвиш с Тарьей. Потом были, конечно же, Ронни Джеймс Дио и Металлика , но, сначала был Найтвиш ! А Тарья - вот уж точно инопланетный голос.

[@5x45]

@@Fifth2004 Увы но таврия закончилась примерно после 2001 года.. До этого да, она звучала впечатляюще.. Хз кто виноват и шо с ней стало.. Но ее звучание изменилось далеко не в лучшую сторону.. Но ты как истинный тарья фил, лишенный здравого смысла и музыкального слуха, скорее всего этого даже не заметил.. А что касается живых выступлений, то тут вообще все просто.. Тария на фоне флор выглядит как слепой котенок.. Единственное что у флор получается хуже, из старого репертуара, это Stargazers, и то через раз.. Во всем остальном это все равно что сравнивать колесо с машиной..

[@gustavobalseiro7726]

Por lo general, a los qué les gusta más con Floor es porque empezaron a escuchar NIGHTWISH de "Dark Passion Play" para acá, o en su defecto son fans de Floor de After Forever. También hay que entender qué muchos de estos fans "más nuevos" cuando van hacia atrás y oyen los discos con Tarja no les gusta tanto y eso es lógico porque la banda evolucionó con los años e incluso el estilo se definió más como un Metal Sinfónico y Cinematográfico qué como un Power Metal Sinfónico (es fácil ver ésto; basta con comparar "Human Nature" con "Oceanborn" y sé va a entender claramente a lo qué me refiero. Además, los discos actuales están mucho mejor producidos que en épocas de Tarja, también es lógico!) En cambio, los qué empezamos a escuchar NIGHTWISH desde el principio con Tarja preferimos a Tarja por sobre Floor SIEMPRE!.. Incluso, nos quedamos con Anette porque comparar a Tarja con Anette es ridículo, y Anette era súper simpática y onda, entonces, hasta nos caía mejor!!! Y después, están los que dicen "basta de comparar y disfruten" y también tienen razón! Yo disfruto del NIGHTWISH actual, incluso el último trabajo es muy audible también!
