A Beaverhausen 280 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbeQVzXvtok This is my cousin Tarja Turunen, She was the first original singer in the heavy metal/ alternative band Nightwish. My mother was also a poet. Music runs in the family and I AM OBSESSED, In love with it. I get lyrics/ music in my head all the time, sometimes want to follow this passion however get so many doubts that I am not good enough to make it. The reality of this cynical world we live in always makes me feel insecure and afraid of following this dream. Have seen how cut throat and evil it can get behind the scenes in the music industry and is one of many reasons why I have so much love and respect for Lady gaga. Tarja had to put up with a lot of bull**** from the media over her leaving the band. calling her a b---h and fame obsessed money hungry (not true) when the truth was, she just wanted to focus on making music and was not happy being in the band anymore and followed her heart to become a solo artist. She has an insanely talented opera voice. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear her sing :) Just my daily ramblings...... peace out x Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraeumereiLPB 198 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Tarja Turunen is your cousin? Wow, her voice is really something special. I always watch her performance of "The Phantom of the Opera", which is perfect Anyway, if you have the dream to make music, just follow it. All the hardship and trouble you might encounter will make you even stronger. And if you notice it's too much for you, then you can always stop. Even if others will say "I knew he wouldn't make it", you can always say: "I tried!". And that's what's important It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead.

samu 0 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Actually Tarja got fired from Nightwish so she didn't decide to leave the band herself. Anyway I love her. Oh and I'm from Finland too. Do you speak finnish? :cool: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,357 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I wish she could have worked things out with Nightwish They made real magic together and I still think Tarja was their best singer. Her solo work slays though, My Winter Storm will be my ultimate jam forever Out of curiousity, what sort of music are you interested in perusing? Are you a songwriter, do you play an instrument or sing? Whatever it is, go for it. Do it as a hobby. A career. A lifestyle. No matter what, never stop doing something you love just because someone might say you can't. Don't let anyone dull your sparkle!
