She was so brilliant with ReVamp, AF and her solo work that it was kinda disappointing how they didn't do much with her amazing vocal range. Her new single is amazing and I'm really considering going to her tour next year. As for Nightwish, I hope for whoever comes next that Tuomas lets them breathe and actually have some creative collaboration with him instead of being a vessel for his ideas. Edited Thursday at 11:50 AM by princedeeblebleble 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoMyName 2,416 Posted Thursday at 11:50 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:50 AM (edited) Since Nightwish is about to become a studio project, i think they could just have guest vocalists? Also, If tuomas put her wife there a lot of fans will hate that, a lot already hate Troy in the band. Imo they should disband at this point. This proves that neither Tarja or Anette were the problems, at least Floor was faster instead of waiting for the letter. Way to celebrate 30 years lol. And also i loved tarja liking the floor post lol. Edited Thursday at 11:53 AM by NemoMyName 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a live performer, she needs the stage. Nightwish do not want to perform live in the foreseeable future. And their last album unfortunately was a massive disappointment: Confused melodies, nonesensical lyrics, bad mixing and yes, Floors potential was never truly utilized by them. A huge step down from their previous works. I will still follow Nightwish for now, but depending on the quality of their next project, I might have to move on for good Edited Thursday at 12:31 PM by SleepingSun One second I'm a troll, then suddenly the troll is me.

It seems as if working with him must be difficult. While I did like Troy very much, his pipes, flutes and softer voice giving a nice tone to the music, once Marco left Troy was not able to cover his parts in a satisfactory way. Maybe it IS time for Nightwish to finally disband, the last album Yesterwynde was so, so bad Edited Thursday at 12:23 PM by SleepingSun One second I'm a troll, then suddenly the troll is me.

SleepingSun 1,760 Posted yesterday at 06:23 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 06:23 AM (edited) Tuomas seems to be universally hated, at this point it's almost comical  Tarja liking Floors post is the level of pettiness and trolling I live for A little tribute to the former Nightwish ladies with the song that inspired my username: Tarja Turunen (Nightwish member from 1996 - 2005). Kicked out for being a "greedy diva" Anette Olzon (Nightwish member from 2007 - 2012). Kicked out for being rushed to the hospital while pregnant during a tour Floor Jansen (Nightwish member from 2013 - 2026).
