Good riddance I say, last album was shit and her performance wasn't any good on it either. She sounded pretty good on Dark Passion Play though...but a return to a more dramatic singer can't hurt at all. Wishmaster and Century Child are amazing works and although I doubt they'll return to that kind of songwriting mastery, maybe they can at least produce something halfway decent again. Maybe.

I also wonder if Floor is perminant, *snip* I have a feeling she's temp for now.

In case the rest of the band hasn't noticed, their singer IS the focus of the band.

That's why they get a SEXY HOT BABE to be their singer in the first place. Would anyone have ever given a shit about their bland, uninspired music if it wasn't for their singer?

i dont think she left the band herself. to me it seems that her reaction to the band's decision of using replacement singers was more of she seemed that she was the main focus of the band, especially when she gave the comparison of going to see rihanna and getting brittney spears. cancelling the show that short notice screws over the rest of the band of a gig/guarantee/merch sales (and its damn expensive to be on tour), many fans out of a show and the venue/promoter a lot of money from those who wont be attending anymore because the band they came to see had to drop. using replacement singers was the right move to do for everyone. the fact that anette responded like this i find to be very self centered. it just seems like everyone else in nightwish doesnt put up with any bullshit. but whatever, i dont even like this band lol.

They should hire Lemmy as their new frontwoman.

Rading the joke of let Lemmy sing for Nightwish, at thought occured to me. What if they actually got a Male singer instead? Granted he would have to be a little more different then Marco or his singing parts will be redudent, but still, it could revamp the music in a new way.

That would be interesting, definitely. A good replacement (and contrast with Marco) would be Tobias Sammet, me thinks. Guy's got the poppy sensibilities Nightwish requires, but also coupled with a ton of rocking attitude and a pretty wide range. I doubt this will go past the "nice little fantasy" stage though

Yeah Sammet definitely couldn't work with Tuomas...he's too in love with writing his own songs and controlling his own band's music.

They should just let Marco be the full time main singer. Somehow he's withstood Tuomas's ego this long, and I don't think they can find another full time singer who could contend with that level of arrogance.

In fact, he just announced a new Arcturus album next year.

His latest Post.

I... don't think you'd say that if you heard the "demo" versions of the DPP songs, with Marco on vocals. There are a couple on The Sound of Nightwish Reborn. :shudder:

So no official statement but rather his jocose humour and usual taunts towards the audience. We'll see about that.

They should just fuck off with female singers and good a good male singer with an epic power metal voice. Elisa Martin is the only female vocalist i like but that's because she sings like a man! Shes a great vocalist imo.
