Yes, all 3 are perfect...

Actually, she is.

Yes. Tuomas is master of writing very emotional songs. I really like also other his projects without the Nightwish (Auri, The Life and Times of Scrooge). But the quality of composer is one part of the song. The quality of composer is always the basic part of the song, but the interpretation of the song (singer) is also very important, because the singer puts the real emotions into the song and makes the final result. This is reason, why the singer is always discussed a lot.

Right there is not point to compare. As a whole NightWish has always been great band.

As a newbie to Nightwish, I like both versions, but I think Floors version shows a more somber view. Just my opinion

Concuerdo contigo

Both of them are nothing near Tarja

Annette's latest projects are sooooo much better than Nightwish's last few albums

I agree

12:05 That's what you call excellent? It just made me cringe listening to that part. OK, she can sing, but not Nightwish songs, sorry. For the few live performances I've seen with her, she was about to transform the band on to a pop band. I wish her the best, but in another band, sorry to say

@@almarma wow a few words in a 14 min sing she doesnt hit the note , I love Floor, but I think if you listen to ghost love score in london even the goddess has her moments. I do agree about Anette and the pop band bit, enjoyed her moment in the band but she has been upgraded on a significant scale. Unfortunatly she followed Tarja and never really got the love of the fans that Floor did.

@@almarma Anette is now part of Dark Element with Jani Liimatainen. She sounds better there than with Nightwish, except for Storytime and Scaretale

No, I can't. She doesn't have any stage presence. Nightwishs needs a singer that can own the stage. And I watched some live performances of her with Nightwish I absolutely hated, because she failed at every single song written for Tarja. On album singing the songs written for her she did fine, but the band shouldn't have played their old songs with her as a singer live. She struggled like hell to get through them.

Agree 100%

You are correct, they are in leagues of their own. Floor and Tarja are in Premier League, Annette is in the local county second grade league.

@@borisdavoski1770 And you are full of shit.

@@borisdavoski1770 Lets say it this way. Floor is good but shes singing out of her Comfort Zone everytime she has to step out of her Opera Voicer ( wich is... not superp ). Anette did what she could do. SInging the stuff another way. Good but obviously not as impressive. Tara... is her own league. She never was as exact in her Opera Voice like Floor but.... she F...... this shit and it felt true. And not hardly bound to a voice. Thats the difference. Tara is a pure singer.. someone who doesnt thought toooo much about techniche. Sometimes she went off but it was totaly ok. Anette very rarely sings a wrong tune.. cause thats what she has learned. And Floor. Yes her Opera Voice and singing is neraly Flawless.. but she sucks everytime she needs to sing in another voice. Thats the negative effect when you are a trained opera singer. So for me... Floor is the worsed for this Band. But i never would say she cannot sing.. her opera voice, besides the slang that was absolute great :D .. tops Tara.

@@MrZevv Tarja is by far their worst singer in terms of technique. Floor is the most technical with the biggest range and often belts parts where the others had to use headvoice. Anette was a good singer but may have had a voice more suited for pop music.

@@sanningentv2374 You know.. many of us is old enough to actually not care about how technical a singer is (which is just a lazy fucking excuse to rag on Tarja and Anette in the convo about their singers), and just enjoy the music when it sounds good in your ears. In terms of who is the best.. who the fuck knows. It's a matter of personal preference, and each of their eras offer something different. So something to almost anyone who likes everything from Symphonic Metal to Rock. What I really can't stand is that the hate on Anette stands to this day. The woman can never ever catch a break from the diehard fanbase, and it's always the same. Floor is SOOOOOOOOOOO much better than Anette ever was. It's pathetic from a fan of the band to behave like that. I don't care how much Floor Jansen belts or screams or do other stuff the other two never did much of. I don't care how much of a better technical singer she is. They each had their stengths and weaknesses, as humans do. Floor is still only a human, and without the right mixing, she sounds like shit as well. One thing that Floor Jansen never had and never will have, is Anette Olzon's soft fairytale voice that sounds like a voice coming from an enchanted place. The voice that Tuomas and the rest of the band still to this day respects and loves. This is why her versions of Anette's songs are mere imitations of the originals (including this song, no matter how much the Floor Jansen fanbase cries over it). Anette Olzon's voice was perfect for what Nightwish and Tuomas tried to do back in 2007 and 2011. Saying she belongs in pop music because blah blah shows an inherent lack of understanding for what the band wanted to do and what they were looking for. Fact remains that Anette Olzon's era was the height of the band's career and it will never reach to that height again. And without Olzon, they would still be playing in small clubs and venues, and not arenas like now.

Anettinha domina as músicas dos álbuns dela ❤

concordo dms, minha favorita é a floor, mas tem músicas que são feitas pra certas vozes, tipo wishmaster (na minha opinião, aquela é da tarja) the poet é minha música favorita deles, e pra mim é a anette

Concordo, ela mandou muito bem nessa música. A voz dela "casou" com a melodia.

Melhor parte: 12:58 aquele sorriso de quem fez um puta trampo.

@@DuduLP30 né

Did you listen to part 5? Marco was even holding a note longer than her

hear it and make a comparison between Anette and Floor kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6uqjbV-2c7MiIk.html

@@heyvoon5776 Thats the difference. The Floor (Wembly) version of part 5 brings me to tears nearly every time I hear it, this version just makes me cringe.

@@borisdavoski1770 And shit like this is so fucking pathetic it makes most normal humans cringe. The hatred towards another singer that actually spent five years with the band. Shame on you people.

Don't get any wrong,,, They don't hate Annete. Maybe they disappoint cz some of NW's songs just like lost their emotion while on stage. Then, Floor came and nailed all the emotion, power, story telling on almost NW's songs to the deepest part. I'm sure, they're still love NW's songs with Annete on studio version.

Anette I miss you😢

Anders you're right and that was really really truly gifted and is still. I just listened to Nemo acoustic with her and Empu and it's powerful lyrics done perfectly.

Same here, I found NW in 2008 and I really love Dark Passion Play.❤

No

no

She's good, but there's nothing special about her voice. I will always like Annette because I discovered Nightwish during Dark Passion Play. But Floor is the one I most prefer now

@@bradencuster9468 Personal taste is the music and I'm talking about anette not floor . it´s a different stage like the time of tarja. she did her job correctly and you have to remember that the band is holopainen

No

Iris P.Glokopis I also stopped listening to the band after the departure of the taria, but now I understand that Annette was good even in comparison with Jansen she is more interesting.

I just enjoy nightwish with tarja, olzon or floor, is a stupid who say that one of her was better

She is good. But her way to sing like sing some pop shit. I here to listen a metal piece...

I experienced the same process as you unless I still listened to Nightwish in Anette era. But you are right, Anette did actually a very good job. I think at that time we were not so familiar with the vocal change. Tarja and Anette just simply have two different styles of singing.

no doubt that in my mind, imaginerium is their best album.

I totally agree with you, and musically speaking "dark passion play" and "imaginaerum" are the most powerfull albums Nightwish have made and Annette is the one singing in those and no one can take that away from her, I personally like a lot her amaranth studio version and many others, but being honest with you i now preffer to hear some of those songs sang by Floor, but utterly respect Olsen's work ins those records.

@Xavier Music not many singers do, I imagine trying to hear over the music isn't easy. Every singer has live performances where they sound off.

This is what I tell everyone... Anette is a great singer, but not a symphonic metal singer, and that's ok, it doesn't make her voice less great, she's going very well at her project with Jani Liimatainen "The Dark Element" which is melodic metal. The only thing that bothers me so much, is the fact that Tuomas made two amazing albums with Anette, but with Floor he wrote one that is one of the worst in Nightwish story, I don't know... Endless Forms Most Beautiful didn't convinced me that Tuomas knows what he's doing musically nowdays, it's sad considering he could give us the Floor Jansen we had in After Forever days, it's sad :(

@@lorenasanches8082 I love The Dark Element, and the stuff Tarja is doing, it seems like they've managed to move on, but some of the fans haven't. I'm really looking forward to new Nightwish material, and I hope songs that are Floor's.

Every listerner has different preferences. I prefer the voice of Anette. I compared same songs with Anette and with Floor several times in different days and I always like more the Anette versions. I like the contrast between the hard music and her delicate little bit sweet (not so strong) very emotional voice. Floor's voice is too "cold" for me. But this is only my opinion and I understand other preferences of other people.

my biggest issue with her as a concert goer would be which anette shows up? there are nights when she is dead on perfect and some, a screech owl would sound better.

But the important thing is she fought through it. The only Nightwish member to actually fight for the approval of fans.

@@dougmphilly at least you can admit shes very good at times. the mindless haters just say shes out of tune all the time which is BS. she was actually much more consistent during Imaginaerum tour, so its not her fault the band kicked her when she was at her best, rather its a shame they built her up to tear her down in the end and kind of showing her she was never good enough to begin with, with that stupid Elize/Alyssa moment everyone praises them for.

She had the misfortune of following Tarja, she was unfortunately also for the fans the rebound boyfriend/girlfriend after you've been dumped. Its hard to compare with the past one.

@@dougmphilly Didn't they have a rather crazy schedule, which was honestly just to much for nearly any singer?

Tres voces distinta Tarja Soprano Lirica, Anette Soprano Ligera y Floor Jansen Soprano Dramática/Gutural

Omg!! How was this breakfast?

You lucky son of a bitch!

She is a great singer, no doubt about that, and Tuomas made a great choice. But there's a reason why Nightwish became so popular. And the reason is: Tarja.

Annete is my favorite vocalist in nightwish.

​@@Razoredge still i love Tanja but dark chest of wonders is one of the best albums i know. I think anette is a better performer at stage. Tanja is better when she does smaller acoustic concerts or Opera concerts

las 3 son espectaculares, distintas voces hermosas y estilo!

Bien dicho.

Indeed! But it´s a fact, that Nightwish reach with the Valkyrie Floor the next (highest) level. I imagine the first time i´ve heard Ghost Love Score sang by Floor, i´m also a musician, and i have to say: Tears in my eyes, goosebumps all over . . . i want to go on my knees in front of her

I totally agree. I think "Dark Passion Play" is one of my favourite Nightwish albums. I like Annettes vocals on both of her studio albums with the band. She's actually a pretty good singer. Maybe she sounds a little too "ABBA"-esque.

@@ChrisTian-rm7zm yeah, she does.

I think that Anette can do a lot better than this. I'm disappointed but I have heard that her live performances with Nightwish are not very good. I think she's a great singer, just not the singer for Nightwish. Now Floor Jansen, she has killed every song she has ever sang Live except for scaretale. That song will forever be Anettes because there are certain elements of the song that not even the mighty floor can sing. I've heard that her voice is perfect and Angelic in this song. Apparently I heard wrong. They might be talking about the studio copy but anybody including myself who cannot sing a note could record a halfway decent studio album and she recorded a great one so there you go.

Wacken 2013? This wasn't in Wacken 2013.. Plus, Floor did it with more power and less emotions as usual, which ruined it, at least for me.

Don’t you mean the Wembley 2015 version? :p
