Talk about symbolic titles... It's a decent song, very Tim Burtonish. The symphonic part toward the end had a rather epic feel to it.

Tarja walking alone under the snow... Well, the song is good, though i think something is missing to make it a awesome song.
Hmm, she's coming to Paris, maybe I'll go have a look.

I found it rather interesting, from the given song I think the new album may be just good enough. Good!

Damn dude, Tarja is hot!! Hottest when she's brunette! And the song is good too! It's kinda' in the same style as the Once album. It's good! I didn't think it was going to have electric guitars in it. I was surprised!

Sure she can...she'll just sing it without the opera falsetto but uses "clean voice" instead......dunno if in the same diapason but I think she'll sing it....

The song is not bad at all, kinda grows on me after a listen or two. but god the video's horrible. You can just see Diva written all over her in it. It's like watching Cher going classical

The song is okay. Nowhere near good, but I wouldn't call it shit. The video is raping my eyes, though.

Teh video is kinda Tim burtonish, I agree with destruyah. The song is good, The artwork is really nice. Still, I think it lacks of speed.

Good song, though not excellent... her new album should be interesting anyway, so I'll give a shot.

Well, it's "Ave Maria" dude, it's not something of which a cover can be made!!!

This song is itself a cover....German cover btw...it's originally sung in Latin and this German version was written by Schubert...there's also one by Bach featuring Charles Gounod....even an Estonian popular singer has made his own version of it in the 80ies....so...one can make a death metal version of it if one has the desire....millions of versions of this song exist....

The only thing stopping 'I Walk Alone' from being pure, unadulterated fucking Eurovision material is that I think it sucks.

Ha ha
But she has a beautiful voice. She deserve to continue singing after nightwish. I personaly did not like her new song cause it is too popish style.

At least I can her her vocals again! The song its self is kinda average, and someone really should tell her to lessen the amount of make-up she puts on, this goes beyond the scary point! And the cover art of the album looks good.

Which kinda implies that you like 'Eurovision material', doesn't it?

Just a small taste of Tarja, she also has some harder metal sounding songs on her new CD such as "Ciaran's Well" which you can her at http://www.mywinterstorm.com a woman with such talent is a beautiful thing,
all the more reason I appreciate her now more than ever...
