[@erasmocardenas]

Sharon thank you so much girl, for teaming up with Tarja. You two are true Angels together. Please do more videos together. Thank you for existing, we love you.

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

I second that!! A dream team.

[@marlenec7701]

Dream team.

[@MarkMill321]

Great art work, perfect team with the best voices and songs

[@LEO1WOLF]

When the 2 Ladies look at each other (in the interview), you can see the admiration they share of each other. If I had a tone of dough, I'd wish either one or BOTH sing me to sleep. These 2 women at the top of their respective genre, their voices complimenting each other drew tears to mine eyes!

[@camgnilpe9300]

dream on leo1wolf!

[@thesexyskywalker3283]

Damn right! Not only sing me to sleep... but maybe sleep with me too ;)

[@MrCold012]

I'm in serious love with these 2 exceptional ladies.

[@ivanmengualalvarez7423]

You should record a full album together!!! Your voices are amazing!!!

[@farizaruema3980]

SHARJA

[@johnadler6987]

Yes. That is officially their new shipping name.

[@RnnKT09]

amazing ladies,tarja has awesome eyes!

[@virginiecondamines2122]

The two most beautiful voices i have ever heard together .. HELL YEAH !!

[@dax5936]

Sometimes dreams becomes truth...Sharon and Tarjia...*-*

[@DanSoendergaard]

I don't care what people say, These are two of the strongest voices on the planet, combined with a really great band such as Within Temptation because they're so unbelievable skilled musicians, it can ONLY be a hit! I've dreamed of those two to make a track together.. DREAM COME TRUE! Thank you girls guys, and the whole crew who made that possible!

[@TheTAZMANIA222]

Two different vocal styles bond together to make an epic song this is the first of Within Temptation's songs to really break out here in the U.S. it's pretty freaking amazing and Tarja just complements it so well I dig it

[@joshhenly3678]

This just shows that Tarja and Sharon are great people

[@DBGuitar13]

Until you know the reason why Tarja left Nightwish...

[@brownfebruary7153]

DBGuitar13 More like until you hear Nightwish's side of the story and choose to take it.

[@stefanl5183]

Brown February That's a kind way of phrasing it. I would say more like when someone is gullible and believes everything they read in open letters without taking into account the motives of the creator of that letter and how those motives may have distorted the facts.

[@Noubei]

yeah, now you can also hear about the story of Anette.. I never liked her in the group but, still, it's interesting to know..vShe says she was kicked from Nightwish..

[@FluffyLaDooDoo]

DBGuitar13 Yeah but Nightwish was being racist to Tarja’s husband. Rather follow a diva than a racist

[@carelesswhispersasmr]

It's amazing how thick both women's accents are when they speak, but then they sing and they almost disappear. Such talented voices!!!

[@ingridlamberink4208]

I hear tarja have a accent but have Sharon a accent to? because I can't hear that often. maybe because I am dutch to if I hear her speaking dutch and then her english I can't hear it really weird 😕

[@Otakahunt]

singing always makes people lose their accents. :P every vocalist in metal or rock sound completely different in interviews than during singing.

[@Kim_gs1206]

@@ingridlamberink4208 wat apart, ze klinkt echt mega nederlands. Da's niet erg hoor, ze spreekt heel goed Engels, maar je hoort direct dat ze NL is.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Well, Dutch people should also have accent when speaking English. They are very close languages, but there's different sounds. Finnish is of course entirely different, being from another language family.

[@thesexyskywalker3283]

@@ingridlamberink4208 As an American, Sharon has an accent. But sometimes she sounds English too. Her accent is more of a mix of a Dutch and English accent.

[@SistorCarrera]

Tarja you are loved und appreciated as is Sharon we love you

[@vidmopsk2]

Two angels

[@carlace777]

tarja eyes are so bright, just like here voice :)

my total love to Sharon und Tarja best ppl

[@johnrose5482]

VERY complimentary vocals. Amazing.

[@DragonBorn10]

3:13 "Awsome.. Woh" Love her ♥

[@teodorescuvladdragos]

amazing song,two great voices,love Tarja

[@zorojuro4653]

Sharon den Adele and Tarija Turunen, it;s like a dream come true, fucking amazing no words to desribe how awesome both of them are, hope she(sharon) does more collabs with Tarija :D

[@franjopintaric5084]

For all asking question about filming in double speed: If you want the band to be in slow motion, but still be in sync with the music/audio you do the following: Make a version of the song that is double speed, for example a 4 min song make it 2 mins The band then plays the song at double speed, while you shoot 48fps instead of 24fps When you bring it into editing, you have slow motion effect, but everything is still in sync.

[@SpectreOZ]

That double tempo section is brutal!

[@louisjamin7195]

@G W 1,48

[@louisjamin7195]

@G W My pleasure. If anyone can explain the reason why they do that, I'll be glad :D

[@Tochi.]

@@louisjamin7195 They do double tempo so when they slow the video down their lips will be in sync with the lyrics, but their bodies will be in slow motion. It creates a cool effect.

[@louisjamin7195]

@@Tochi. Ok, funny idea :) Thanks :)

[@GatoCarbonico]

Seeing them together almost moves me to tears. What a dream!

[@romanasajko5767]

❤ you are still listened and admired, thank you for you two angels

[@derekcotten3100]

These are two Beautiful Women, with such amazing talent, I'm from the U.S. and discovered these two about a couple of years ago, and I'm mesmerized by each of them, Thanks to both of you !!!

[@filippocomuzzi3056]

The more I watch Tarja, the more I am convinced she is not at all the diva they made her out to be. Shame that a lot of people are still believing in that crap, she seems like a great woman. Thuomas, on the other hand...

[@jnielsen90]

She is, even handled the Nightwish break-up well and not got into gossip about it. Today she is easily as much a force to me in music as Nightwish is, they both benefitted from the split now that it's had some time to move on. Tarja has more freedome to write for herself and Tuomas has a new prodigy in Floor Jansen

[@LOSTKFC]

She is amazing person, her voice is actually what brought me to nightwish and within temptation... but as we all know people rather believe rumors and what other say rather than getting to know or learn the positive/true side of someone. When Floor came on the scene i listened all the old songs with her voice, she has magnificent voice but so does Tara as well and the fact that they are even good friends, not as many people were thinking that they hate each other

[@cyrilkupperoth7999]

So many years we've hoped this duo. So many years we've dreamed this duo. So many years we've imagined this duo. And now we have it. Thanks to you and i wish you many years of success.

[@jnielsen90]

Tarja is so bloody adoreable......and those emerald eyes of her's, captivating, Thank you Sharon for a rad collaboration

[@larryzigler6812]

INDEED !!! Is ageing rather well, to say the least 💘

[@kameliyakrasteva4641]

A few years ago I was wondering why they are not singing together and now I'm asking myself when they will make an album together. Believe me, you've made my dream come true! :)

[@izabellaSands]

Kameliya Krasteva they're awesome!!! love them both.

[@AgustinRudas]

What a respectable womans. Singing good music, working professional, and having fun, all my respect to tarja and sharon.

[@OwnedByGalatea]

i just love tarja, i have seen her once in my life in face to face and those 2minutes we talked were one of my greatest moments of my life, 2nd best after my lil bros birth ofc :)

[@MYERS77.]

Tarja & Sharon = Combinação Perfeita! 🔥💀

[@pablosalas8586]

very nice :) forever Within Temptation/Tarja/metal!!!

[@adrian1083]

I love them the best and one of the most classy ladies in metal.

[@vacla124vkestgdzdzhigh4]

Fantastic super song WT ! Sharon and Tarja is excellent Singers and beautiful, beautiful womans ! Two Angels in the World ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Acrum99]

This is one of my favourite songs of Within Temptation! And I didn´t know how fun the making of this video was and how good they are together, Sharon and Tarja (not only their voices).

[@AnneMarieLynge]

Love, Love, Love and More Love

[@jonathankozenko]

It just occurred to me that, apart from hearing Sharon shout to the audience at the shows I saw, this is the first time I've ever heard either of them speak. They sound quite a bit different. And on that note, I would LOVE it if Within Temptation was able to come by Massachusetts again. Saw both of your shows here, and loved them both. Still kicking myself for not having the $20 I needed at the first show to meet the band before the show itself.....

They are so beautiful. Especially Sharon :)

[@aaron09121]

both are very beautiful and the song is amazing.

[@mc23243]

they already look like best friends, hope their collaborations will continue

[@andrewgraham7659]

It also happens to be another great tune by a band from whom I have expected some of the best tunes in all of music and they have delivered.

[@laszlobarta7419]

I just found this song and it's became immediately one of my favourite! Thank you for this! Two awesome voices, two awesome singer and one realy awesome song! Keep it up, I would like to hear a lot more from you! 😊

[@blacksand136]

Tarja has a beautifull smile :-)

[@estramboticanaif]

Placer ver cuando la competencia se convierte en paridad y la colaboración es el centro del trabajo artístico. Ambas son enormes exponentes del metal sinfónico y cada una brilla de un modo particular sin por eso opacarse. Juntas la rompen. Clásicas, volátiles y livianas en el color de sus voces siempre y eternamente celtas (atractivo gigante). Chicas lindas si las hay... Adorables.

[@laal67]

can't wait for the music video!!!!!!

[@sotiriskapsomanis7749]

God damn it!!my two favorite singers together!

[@Dianus89]

Two best singers together. Yay!

Congratulations on a wonderful collaboration ! For me it's a dream coming alive ! God bless you both !

[@andrewelliott123]

I think this is one of the best collaborations I may have ever seen. You guys are solid class. I enjoy all of your albums. Don't stop keep up the good work!

My fav Classical metal vocalist in the same song. They're cute together and like a sister..

[@rangerarmonika]

They are really cute girls, both of them.

[@FaroreMHL]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH my queens

[@katzparov]

An extended play (EP) is a musical recording that contains more music than a single, but is too short to qualify as a full studio album or LP. The term EP originally referred to specific types of vinyl records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) records and LP records,[1] but it is now applied to mid-length Compact Discs and music downloads as well.

[@aperson9847]

wow the double time thing really threw me for a loop, i had no idea they did that in videos

[@JokersParadigm]

Awesome!!!! Love the song! Love the band!

[@joseferraz1054]

I waiting for more of this in the future!!

[@4M_Nana]

It's Paradise for me!!! T^T Tarja and Sharon together finally!!!!

[@RomyBoca]

So beautiful!! Both are truly Godesses....

[@0MissNemo0]

I just pray to whatever god may be up there that tarja's influence in the song will prevent another unforgiving disaster

[@auroradelioncourt]

Check the video, the way they can achieve that sort of sophisticated, almost angelic sort of flowiness, is by recording it faster. I think the easiest way for you to look for it is by looking at their hair, do you see how slowly they float instead of flitting about in the harsh blow of the wind machine, and check their eyes too, how slow and graceful the glances become. So yeah, it gives beautiful, atmospheric movement. ;)

[@marcoruiz3108]

All we love you!

OMG, I cracked up when they had to sing at hyper-speed. They're so adorable!

[@Уставший-у1ь]

long ddal this duo class!!

[@autocon72]

I will always be a fan of tarja's vocal style. What she did with Nightwish was breath taking and when I found out that she was no long in Nightwish my heart just sank to the floor. Now Nightwish is just another goth metal band. Without tarja's vocals.

[@AtlantisArch]

wow, do like this one far more than the previous trailer :)

[@ViviNobre]

I can always hear Naomi in some part of her reent interviews. Not it was after 4:00 hahaha so lovely

[@alicemcfee5585]

Please do more songs together. 😊 I had thought before that this would be a good mix, and I still think so after seeing it.

[@dmitriymedvedevskih6155]
