| Annette Olzon, formerly of Nightwish |
Nightwish was also my
second LLP post, but it comes with an asterisk this time because it is under odd circumstances. They have replaced their lead singer, Annette Olzon, in the middle of their US tour when Annette became 'sick', using replacement singers
one night. She was
publicly displeased with the decision to go on with the show without her, but she returned for the next night's show, then she was booted. The boys in Nightwish brought in a new singer, Floor Jansen, whom it seems had
already been planning on joining them as a replacement for their dates after the US tour, so things just seem to have been moved up hastily. Drama, drama, drama, but the videos are on
Youtube so I have been watching. And the albums are on my ipod so I have been enjoying Annette's expressive voice sadly, but I stick by the band.
Below is a song from the show two nights ago in San Francisco, "I wish I had an Angel' featuring the now replacement singer, Floor Jansen. I am reserving my full judgment yet, but I do feel positive about her so far. Annette's voice seemed more powerful and expressive, but Floor is yet to be comfortable, thrown quickly into having to memorize all the words, and is, after all, only named as a replacement singer, not a new member. I could see that happen though, if the chemistry still works after touring through the new year. Enjoy the video below!
