Hmm, near the end it reminded me of one of those Disney pop videos with the vocal melody she was using. >.>;

Pretty good, and I must say that I like the new vocalist much more than Tarja.

Friend, you're ignoring the fact that the video you posted came before Nightwish's watershed. The rest of the band have been moulded by the popular media as much as Annette panders to the commercial scene; just see how they pose in the video (esp. Tuomas).

As for Annette, I think she's a much better singer than Tarja, who could barely hold a note and couldn't pronounce half her words. That doesn't change the fact that she's more-or-less a pop singer, which is what Nightwish have been for the past age.

Anyone want to buy/trade a copy of Oceanborn off me?

I also think Anette is a better singer the Tarja. Tarja isn't bad okok...But I just like Anette's vocals better then Tarja's, so who gives a sh*t she acts like a pop singer, as long as she sings good it's ok with me..

I must agree with you. The song is average and the vocals are to pop.

The video is very good, I like it!
Though with Annette the operatic vocals are definitely gone (good voice anyway...)

the style of the voices change totally the style of the band (like a new nightwish -too bad-) ....BUT theres another song called the poet and the Pendulum that sounds much better than this ...

I don't care what you say, this is like one of the best songs I've heard this year and Nightwish are for sure one of the most professional metal bands ever. The video is not the best, but that's probably because Nightwish's other videos are so damn outstanding.

No...but then, most of the PM you no doubt have in mind is equally worthless, anyway.

I think it's much too soon to say anything... I never really care about videos... But first impression: very different vocals from Tarja's so it's really hard to compare them; but not bad at all... The only thing that bothers me is that they are getting more and more popish (somehow they always were popsih but I see that this is increasing with every new release... I still have a hope that I'm wrong about that...:)). Best thing is to wait for the upcoming album and then give proper opinion...

I don't like the Pantera/Nu-Metal/Groove riffage they're heading more and more towards to, but her vocals are ten times better than Tarja's annoying wail.

Wow , wasn't that so cute everybody ? Anyone who thinks this woman is a better singer than Tarja is either completely tone-deaf or a complete moron...

Thank's I'm a moron because I don't hate Anette....(not that I would say that Tarja is worse...she isn't..but they can't be compared since they are singers of two different styles...classical/operatic - pop/rock....both are good in their own field....)

Btw...I studied music...I may be tone deaf and suck at playing instruments but at least I can be a fair judge instead of wailing "POP!! OHMYGOD!! I'm SLICING MY WRISTS!! I HATE POP!!"

yeh....I laughed...."Anette SUCKS!! Tarja was so awesome...so GOTHIC!" this made me laugh indeed....cut the crap....get over it....AND...Tarja isn't a GOTH chick....there's more to being gothic than this....and of course....Nightwish isn't a gothic group....

anyway....video was ok....not outstanding but this band has never done really outstanding videos...old "Sleeping Sun" is an exception....

Anette doesn't have a bad voice though it's a much bigger change from Tarja than I expected. It was quite painful watching her move in the video, it made the song more pop-like in the performance (as previously noted) and made it seem she didn't know how to sing and/or dance.

Yeh i saw the video yesterday, it really isnt the first thing you want to see after a big change, a shit video and a pretty boring song. The girl can sing for sure, but the music is too bland and poppy to be accepted with most Nightwish fans.

Decent song, kind of poppy, and a forgettable but okay video. Anette's got a great voice, but I miss Tuomas's great keyboard melodies... But the big test will be in October, when I see them live! I'm going to remain undecided about the new Nightwish until then
