very nice.. funny.. I was just playing nightwish on our college radio station and talking about their search for a new singer last night. i'd almost say I prefer your singing on sleeping sun to the original. i'm a sucker for the key change in that song. just take it easy on the reverb in walking in the air. ;p you are very articulate (people tell me that too, although not related to my singing ability or rather lack thereof); i am actually taking notice of the lyrics whereas i usually just ignore them if i can even understand them. in tarja's case, i think the unintelligible lyrics have something to do with the opera thing, i mean, people don't actually go to the opera and have any clue what anyone is saying, do they? that's what the whole stage production is for, to tell you what the hell is going on. i dunno, nightwish at the house of blues is the closest i ever got to opera.
anyway, no matter who is picked by nightwish, its sure to spark outrage among the fans, so if you're not at least you would be spared that. ;p the thing about tarja is, not only was her operatic singing pretty great, but her "normal" singing was amazing too, and we only just barely got a taste of that on Once, and I think that was their best album yet. that's the biggest tragedy of her being "relieved of duty" imo. now she's gonna go off and sing operatic christmas carols in argentina and we may never hear it again.
