According to the STRATOVARIUS fan site www.truemetal.org/stratovarius, "Klaus Flaming, the host of the weekly Finnish metal radio show 'Metalliliitto' had a brief chat with [STRATOVARIUS mainman] Timo Tolkki at the afterparty of Sirkkelirock, the Finnish metal awards [on Saturday, January 3]. [During the conversation] Timo mentioned that the new [STRATOVARIUS] vocalist is a good-looking and talented FEMALE. Interesting... I'd however take the comment with a grain of salt as it sounded as if Timo was a bit drunk while making it."
