lol There's always more news to submit  |

Hahaha...what the fuck?
You know, I really liked this line up and I thought that she was a perfect fit for Nightwish. Floor is a great vocalist though and I loved her in After Forever. That sounds like a great replacement. Maybe it will be permanent. |

Was she fired? The band usually writes some kinda letter firing you when you are in..i don't know..Brazil, Argentina, Greece..erm Hospital? Was it the case here?
This is such frustrating news. It says everything and nothing! What does Quote:
In recent times it has become increasingly obvious that the direction and the needs of the band were in conflict, and this has led to a division from which we cannot recover. even mean? |
|
|
|
I respect her but her voice was absolutely annoying for the most part . Floor is like 10x better 
I wonder who will be the permanent replacement . |
|
|
|
|
|
|

I think that she was fired and this was not amicable at all. There is a dead giveaway with this: "I was never asked if it was ok they used Elise and Alica in the show last night. I don't think it's a good decision they made and I'm sorry for those of you who came to see the whole band but got something else. But I was very ill and this decision wasn't mine."
This: "In recent times it has become increasingly obvious that the direction and the needs of the band were in conflict, and this has led to a division from which we cannot recover" smells like BULLSHIT. |

| I'm very curious how Floor Jansen sounds with Nightwish. Could be an interesting match! |

She indeed did come off as a bit self-righteous. Like it was better to have a club full of disappointed fans than being fronted by replacement singers  |
|
|
|
| The fuck? This sounds almost exactly like what happened to Iced Earth! |
|
|
|
And I was present at the Denver show when all of this happened.
SOLD OUT venue, by the way, and before Nightwish even started; two guys came out and stated that Annette is sick and in the hospital and that there were two choices for the remainder of the evening: Cancel the gig; or have Elize and Alissa with the help of the audience [and they said that] do a revised set.
Of course nobody wanted the gig to be cancelled and it actually worked out pretty good.
Backed up right now, but review and pics will follow later this week . |

well,...to further illustrate your point! The tour traveled with 4 (four!) big ass nightliners (tourbuses) and mind you, only Kamelot and Nightwish were on this tour. Thinking there might be an opener at the gig, I did ask and was told the following:
1 tourbus = Kamelot plus their crew
1 tourbus = Nightwish
1 tourbus = Nightwish crew
1 tourbus = ANETTE ALONE  |
|
|
|
So much win. Next month they are playing in my town, now that Floor will be there there is no chance I'll miss it 
If they choose another pseudo-operatic vocalist as permanent replacement, they are definitely pussies. |

I don't know how she has travelled before, but this time she might have needed it for Nemo: http://anette-olzon.blogspot.fi/2012/09/walmart.html |

| OMG, that's really shocking!!! anyway, Floor is great, I really hope she gets a permanent status as a vocalist... |
|
|
|
Incredible! simply yesterday i broke a vow and checked a couple of live videos with Anette for the first time in my life (aye, i could not accept her presence in nightwish for all these years), and today she's kicked out! Welcome Floor! i love her voice, no matter in which band  |
|

Oh crap! I wish this was just a bad dream...
They were doing really great together and I was hoping for at least 5 or more albums with Anette. Crikey... I was even hoping for a duet of Anette and Tarja one day. Hell yeah... mayb they can organise a duo one day...
Floor is not bad but I fear they might drift back to a pseudo-operatic style. But if they really want opera, they should get Melissa Ferlaak once and for all. If there ever was any vocalist born for that band, it was Melissa.
...the hell... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The band will be better without her! |
|
|
|
| Well... That was awkward. |

They are already since the first moment they decided to work with Anette. To me it was enough to stop listening to them. |
|
|
|
| I really really want to feel sorry. I really do. But I just can't. Somehow this news makes me happy. :/ |
|
|
|
| Good news! Love After Forever and i think Floor will sing better "old nightwish" |

| Floor Jensen... wasn't she on KMFDM's new one? |
|
|
|
YES!!!!
Now I can finally listen to Nightwish again, that is if they get a good singer now. Anette was a terrible fit for the band...
Floor is perfect, I hope they just keep her on as a permanent member! |
|
|

In the light of all the drama that's going on in all corners of the internet I frequent, I just have to post this:
(the left reads "Kamelot chills", MS shrunk my picture) |
|
|
|
| If Anette would rather Nightwish cancelled a show instead of the band performing with two different singers instead, I think that says all we need to know about her. Good riddance. |

| Ok, that's shit. First of all, Floor it's just a temporary patch, so they can continue with the tour.. Let's wait, and stop that laughable comments of joy. |
|
|
|
| Sounds to me as if Anette was fired for the exactly same reason Tarja was fired: She became a diva who viewed herself as being more important than the band as a whole. |

no she was on Devin Townsend's Deconstruction . she is known mostly for After Forever though , also she is Mark Jansen's sister. ( Epica's main guy )
also I love how everyone's happy here =)) |

Well duh.
What's even funnier than the drama all over the internet is the fact I've seen several posters on other sites saying "well they got some replacement singer"... some replacement singer... I'm not in that scene, but even I know Floor fucking Jansen. Is it so hard to google your supposedly favorite band's replacement singer before posting bullshit? Or, you know, listen to bands in the scene other than Nightwish |

|

Somehow its logical ... they never shood kick nout Tarja, maybe they shood aks her beck
Im not suprise, I thought it will happen, maybe next eyar maybe after, but i know it amd somehwo Im heppy, she is like Paul d ASnnio in Ironm Maiden, even worsth |

In that case I'm wondering if we're going to have an open letter soon as well...
I have no idea what the internal affairs of the band might have been but for some reason I doubt that she'd become a diva. When Tarja left, it was indeed a shock but the signs were there even before such as the absence of stage chemistry between the vocalists, Tarja being an 'ice queen' (now compare that to her stage presence as a solo singer), interviews about Tarja 'doing one more album before going solo' etc.
It may be possible that the reason Anette was dismissed lies in the fact that she was a mother of two. I understand she had her kid(s?) with her on tour and it's damn hard to be a touring star and a family person simultaneously. Add some health issues that require hospitalisation and the probability of a complete meltdown is there... sadly enough... Guess she needed more time but the band couldn't give her that...
Other than that, nothing indicated that kind of an outcome if you read the last updates by the band or watch some live videos from recent concerts. |

More updates will be there til tomorrow on Facebook page. They have already announced the temporary singer but haven't issued a complete announcement on why Anette left the band. |

Dafuq? first i heard she was in hospital and a few days later she is out of the band? thats how you deal problems, when Nuclear Blast is your label or what?  |
|
|

Awwww! 
That's such a shame! I really like Anette.  I hope Floor does good for the band during their tour.

Indeed. Saw her statement about the situation and I was thinking "She will be fired for having that attitude" and it happend. No suprise really |

|
|
| Love it! That's all I can and need to say. |
|
|
|
| Noobs!, Floor is just temporary... I really think it would be a terrible mistake choosing it permanently, seriously would be disrespectful to Revamp and Nightwish too. |
|
|
|
Floor is too good for these Drama Queens Nightwish should call it a day  |
|
|
|
| So will be drama section in ms awards this year? i mean this smells like a good drama ahead... |
|
|
|
Thank god, It was about time
Seven years without Tarja... what a waste of time. |
