Just a random note, this is one of the songs she recorded demos with, to apply for the job in Nightwish. So, this is one of the songs they picked her for. ;)
I find it amazing that 2 different videos of the same song can get so different comments... This one has almost perfect sound... The other one hasn't even got hardly any sound at all... This one has almost only got comments regarding how good she is actually singing this song... On the other one they say: OMG she can't sing and all those things... I just find it amazing...
I love this song...I loved it when I heard it with tarja in once, but now that I've listened to it sung by anette i think that THIS i singing with the heart. In this song anette makes me cry, tarja was a wonderful singer but she was a bit too a techical singer... Anette put her heart in singin this song. Simply amazing. (I'm sorry for my bad english^^)
I know that she does.. This video proves it... But I think that alot of the fans that can't let go of the old NW needs to hear a recorded version of this song or a professionally filmed version of the whole concert..
I just lovw this song!! and Anette's version so great... my friend(standing beside me at the moment) is crying her eyes out, because of the emotions Anette is putting into the song... I just can't stop watching this... so thank you so much for uploading this!!!
This is absolutely fantastic performance by Anette.People don't compare Anette and Tarja because they are totally different singers.This is one of the best performances by new NW here in UA-cam.Anette rocks!
I've always loved Higher Than Hope, and I wanted to hear Anette singing it and I have to say that her performance is just WONDERFUL! She puts so many emotions to it, it makes me want to cry. I'm happy that she's with Nightwish now.
Floor only sung it once and it was only 6 days after she joined NW in the hurry we all know, so it's kinda difficult to judge on her part. Though, Anette totally delivers on this one. Positively and definitely surprised...
I,too, agree with the comments. This version is better than the other one sung by Tarja. I guess this proved the ones that still thought Anette wasn't suited for Nightwish that she CAN sing, and when she does, she does it wonderfully. I liked Tarja better as well for Nightwish, but that doesn't make hate or dislike Anette. I understand that some changes are irreversible, so I can move on. Great performance, can't want to see them in Romania this year (at least it's rumored they'll come)
Beautiful. I've started to like this song the more and more I listen to it. I'm starting to hope they play this live when I see 'em. I love the chorus. *sniff*
It's crazy that they played this great and honorable song live with Anette instead of Tarja who is the original voice. Whereas, other songs with Anette's original voice were never played live with her, such as the great songs Turn Loose the Mermaids and For the Heart I Once Had.
This is your own personal opinion. For the Heart I Once Had and Turn Loose the Mermaids are great songs and underrated!!!! Because Higher than Hope meas a lot for the band, as you say, if means, that's why should have played it live with Tarja before.
Yes she actually have. Marcs sister and mom went out shopping with Anette when Nightwish last played in San Diego. Bruelands were also at the sight while shootin´the"Bye bye beautiful" video.
Well, and it shouldn't be gothic. Nightwish has never been a gothic band. And she really doesn't sing like a pop star, Anette is much better than that now. She isn't worse than Tarja, doesn't have less power, she just sings differently.
That would be great, but I prefered if Tuomas hurried a little bit to write new songs for the next album next year :-) I can't only hear DPP & live concerts. Great Job, Anette!
I start to love this song after Anette starts to sing it. Tarja Turunen is ok technically,but cold ! Anette is GREAT & WARM,in this song,at least...well lets say many songs...so mutch emotions she puts in them...
i love the song sooooooo much..so emotional i love the song!!!^^ I love it..it's one of the best song..from marcos part you must cry..than it's sooo dark and deep...
I have and she did awesome on that one too... I don't think she has done that bad on any of the songs as the haters says she does... When they were in Gample, she hit every note she was supposed to hit and it was awesome... I've just seen the clips here on youtube though so I can't say anything about the live-sets they've been playing, but I've read from people who's seen them say she did awesome, even though it was early in the tour..
And one more thing, you really don't know anything about singing skill ... Did you even noticed that how awesome of the Tarja vibrato is? Her vibrato like in same frequency with the empuu guitar, drum and the bass ... And Tarja can hit high notes, not like someone no need mention name which not only lower the Key of the song, but still need to change part of composed song just because she cannot hit high notes. Tarja's vibrato and empuu drive really own > 70% of my love on nightwish.
Wow, i'm not sure if we talk about same Tarja here... I'm talking who known as " The voice of Finland " , perhaps you just don't get it ... There is a different between well train singer and not, you can differentiate them by seeing they pants hard on the stage... A good singer which practice every day and jogging a lot wont have that problem ... PS: Tarja only pant once while she sing The Phantom of the opera ... Like Anette who Pant like need to call medic on the stage really mean something.
That is curious because that passage you don't like, it's my favourite :) I still like this song on CD more - Tarja has such a passionate performance there - it's her most emotional song, but live I didn't like that much, because she added more operatic vocals, and those don't fit with this song. I have to say Anette offers so much more live in this song, but I have to agree, the chorus should be improved, Anette's belting is awsome there, but Marco is not particulary doing anyhting there...
Magic, Jesus Christ, it´s so magic! What a soul in her voice, she actually understands the lyrics what´s she´s singing which tarja didn´t. Tarja just sang the song note for note.
@gentletuesday totally agree. Anette ain't bad. But a big part of the Nightwish magic is gone since Tarja left. And Tarja also lost something now she's solo...I still love Nightwish's compositions and lyrics. I like both eras
Yes, I did a mistake eith the spelling. But you know, you said that Anette sutdied in a conservatory in Sweden, well, Tarja studied in a conservatory in Finland and she gots a scholarship yo the most famus conservatory in Germany, and trust me, I know plenty about music too :D
I dare hope that she IS still a singer in metal). yes, not the best, but sertainly special. the magic of her voice affects me greatly, nothing else to say..that's a personal perception, I believe
I guess I've been watching this 100 times now... I never really realized how beautiful this song is, before I heard it sung by Anette. Perfect!!!
I really like what Anette has done with this song. She did a great job!
This version is so emotional ... :)
I love her version! The improvisation at the end of the "Your death saved me"-part made me shiver... :|
MAN. When she sings "Your death saved me" . . . chills all up and down my spine. AMAZING. :D I love Anette!
Just a random note, this is one of the songs she recorded demos with, to apply for the job in Nightwish. So, this is one of the songs they picked her for. ;)
Anette the best😍😍😍 I really love this versión😍😍😍😍😍 I love her voice💪💪💪
I think she does this the best out of all the ladies from nightwish.
Amazing, what an amazing performance! 💓💓💓
I needed more than FOUR YEARS to discover that they performed this song with Anette! Really like it!
There’s so much feeling in her voice. It’s perfection.
It's fucking amazing!!!
I think she makes songs like Planet Hell best, but this was good too.
Made me cry!! GZ Anette, I dont cry so easy, almost never!
Love it! Her interpretation is wonderful.
I don't think it's better the original, but she makes me cry.
I think yes it is better
I adore this version. She deals with it perfect!
i never NEVER LIKE THIS SONG now with anette i love it i cant stop playing it is so good
I find it amazing that 2 different videos of the same song can get so different comments... This one has almost perfect sound... The other one hasn't even got hardly any sound at all...
This one has almost only got comments regarding how good she is actually singing this song... On the other one they say: OMG she can't sing and all those things...
I just find it amazing...
Tämä laulun alkuosa on ihan sairaan mahtava,Anetten ääni sopii tähän biisiin ihan täydellisesti.Bravo!
lulaley. good to have a music proffessor here on you tube. You´re much needed.
This is just one word: PERFECT!!!
I love this song...I loved it when I heard it with tarja in once, but now that I've listened to it sung by anette i think that THIS i singing with the heart. In this song anette makes me cry, tarja was a wonderful singer but she was a bit too a techical singer...
Anette put her heart in singin this song. Simply amazing.
(I'm sorry for my bad english^^)
I know that she does.. This video proves it... But I think that alot of the fans that can't let go of the old NW needs to hear a recorded version of this song or a professionally filmed version of the whole concert..
Thanks for zooming in on Tomas for this song. He wrote it for his brother, after all. He always works extra hard on that one.
I just lovw this song!! and Anette's version so great... my friend(standing beside me at the moment) is crying her eyes out, because of the emotions Anette is putting into the song... I just can't stop watching this... so thank you so much for uploading this!!!
This is absolutely fantastic performance by Anette.People don't compare Anette and Tarja because they are totally different singers.This is one of the best performances by new NW here in UA-cam.Anette rocks!
when someone told me that Anette sang this one I could't believe it... I thought the song was killed, but now that I heard it, it sounds so beautiful
I've always loved Higher Than Hope, and I wanted to hear Anette singing it and I have to say that her performance is just WONDERFUL! She puts so many emotions to it, it makes me want to cry. I'm happy that she's with Nightwish now.
This is amazing
I was there! And well presented a fine part.
Life is sometimes shit because you can't get what you want.Anette is the lead singer now and you better live with that!
Amazing
anette sings like an angel
I love this version so dramatic
Awesome performance! And an awesome recording!
Incredible!!!!!!! Love Anette!!!!!!!!
Anettes version: Great
Tarjas version: Ok
Floors version: Nah (at least the two i listened to, post a link if there is a good one)
Floor only sung it once and it was only 6 days after she joined NW in the hurry we all know, so it's kinda difficult to judge on her part. Though, Anette totally delivers on this one. Positively and definitely surprised...
Agree!!! She sings with her heart!!!
omg...love you anette!... this was beautiful, more than i expected... i love it love it love it!!!
What an awesome performance by Anette....this is so fantastic music...what an awesome band...they really Rocks....
i love nightwish so much
Anette's version is so pleasant, but stylistically, I don't know if it's consistent with the history and purpose of the song.
I,too, agree with the comments. This version is better than the other one sung by Tarja. I guess this proved the ones that still thought Anette wasn't suited for Nightwish that she CAN sing, and when she does, she does it wonderfully. I liked Tarja better as well for Nightwish, but that doesn't make hate or dislike Anette. I understand that some changes are irreversible, so I can move on. Great performance, can't want to see them in Romania this year (at least it's rumored they'll come)
what a nostalgy! Miss Nettie in NW
Powerful and beautiful!
Have to listen it again :)
I love this version! I think this was as the music should be! Congratulations NW for lose one the best singers that I had seen.
Anette made this song even more meaningful and emotional. RIP Marc Brueland
Beautiful. I've started to like this song the more and more I listen to it. I'm starting to hope they play this live when I see 'em. I love the chorus. *sniff*
I heard it live and she does a beautiful job
SOUNDS AMAZING!!!
I love when Anette screams !! e.G. watch DCoW from San Diego '08.
Greetings for all Anette fans !!!!
BRILIANT!!! She sings it so great!!!!
Great Anette's version ("Rock style singing") of this song!Good feeling and strong powerful performance by the NW!
I totally agree, I did the same and I feel more emotions listening to Anette's voice singing this wonderful song!
It's crazy that they played this great and honorable song live with Anette instead of Tarja who is the original voice. Whereas, other songs with Anette's original voice were never played live with her, such as the great songs Turn Loose the Mermaids and For the Heart I Once Had.
Not really. This song means a lot to the band, whereas the other ones you mentioned are more forgettable.
This is your own personal opinion. For the Heart I Once Had and Turn Loose the Mermaids are great songs and underrated!!!! Because Higher than Hope meas a lot for the band, as you say, if means, that's why should have played it live with Tarja before.
Wow, it's so beautiful !!!!
Anette is the BEST !!!!! Her voice is BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Thanks for uploading ! The quality is so great !
By the way, Nettan is the best for this song ;)
I agree. :) The song wasn't so special to me before I heard Anette sing it... Now it's one of my favorites. So beautiful.
Yes she actually have. Marcs sister and mom went out shopping with Anette when Nightwish last played in San Diego. Bruelands were also at the sight while shootin´the"Bye bye beautiful" video.
i love it so much ,she is so pure and very beautifull and i love her voice so much .
omg! untill i saw that i didn't know how good Anette is!!!
Dear lord, this is a great song. Well done Anette
I love the start of this song ;-) the other parts are also perfect like everytime, but the begin is the best part ;-)
I agree with that. Come Cover Me is superb with Anette's vocals.
WOW love it!!!
I was like O.O
amazing!
Bravo!I agree!This performance is great!
wow... amazing, truly amazing
This one Annette makes very VERY good!
I can't help it ! This is still the best live version of this beautiful song...IMO !
But of course i hope Floor stays in the band.. :))
Really love the chorus of this song with anette singing with her cristal and senseful voice
Well, and it shouldn't be gothic.
Nightwish has never been a gothic band.
And she really doesn't sing like a pop star,
Anette is much better than that now.
She isn't worse than Tarja, doesn't have less power, she just sings differently.
Anette is good on this song, that is the first time I like her version
That would be great, but I prefered if Tuomas hurried a little bit to write new songs for the next album next year :-) I can't only hear DPP & live concerts. Great Job, Anette!
Beautiful!! Perfect! O i love it!
Nicely put! You're probably right.
I start to love this song after Anette starts to sing it.
Tarja Turunen is ok technically,but cold ! Anette is GREAT & WARM,in this song,at least...well lets say many songs...so mutch emotions she puts in them...
i love the song sooooooo much..so emotional
i love the song!!!^^
I love it..it's one of the best song..from marcos part you must cry..than it's sooo dark and deep...
I think Anette has brought the band down to an average, normal metal band. It was Tarja's voice that really made the band an extraordinary one.
oh my... can't stop listening :|
love Anette (L)
I have and she did awesome on that one too... I don't think she has done that bad on any of the songs as the haters says she does... When they were in Gample, she hit every note she was supposed to hit and it was awesome... I've just seen the clips here on youtube though so I can't say anything about the live-sets they've been playing, but I've read from people who's seen them say she did awesome, even though it was early in the tour..
This is so awesome!
i feel like crying now.....
Almost as good as original. You can llisten to it though.
amen
Very emotional singing...great band,great ANETTE OLZON !!.
i hope they take out a studio version it will be so good
And one more thing, you really don't know anything about singing skill ...
Did you even noticed that how awesome of the Tarja vibrato is? Her vibrato like in same frequency with the empuu guitar, drum and the bass ...
And Tarja can hit high notes, not like someone no need mention name which not only lower the Key of the song, but still need to change part of composed song just because she cannot hit high notes.
Tarja's vibrato and empuu drive really own > 70% of my love on nightwish.
I'm quite enamored with tarja and anette, and find this version to be just as awesome as tarja's. (: love it!
Wow, i'm not sure if we talk about same Tarja here...
I'm talking who known as " The voice of Finland " , perhaps you just don't get it ...
There is a different between well train singer and not, you can differentiate them by seeing they pants hard on the stage... A good singer which practice every day and jogging a lot wont have that problem ...
PS: Tarja only pant once while she sing The Phantom of the opera ...
Like Anette who Pant like need to call medic on the stage really mean something.
Congratulations for talking utter pants .....
That is curious because that passage you don't like, it's my favourite :)
I still like this song on CD more - Tarja has such a passionate performance there - it's her most emotional song, but live I didn't like that much, because she added more operatic vocals, and those don't fit with this song.
I have to say Anette offers so much more live in this song, but I have to agree, the chorus should be improved, Anette's belting is awsome there, but Marco is not particulary doing anyhting there...
Magic, Jesus Christ, it´s so magic! What a soul in her voice, she actually understands the lyrics what´s she´s singing which tarja didn´t. Tarja just sang the song note for note.
Pure emotion...
An other live version with Anette too in 2012 : ua-cam.com/video/hXvWZYnDiYk/v-deo.html*
@gentletuesday totally agree. Anette ain't bad. But a big part of the Nightwish magic is gone since Tarja left. And Tarja also lost something now she's solo...I still love Nightwish's compositions and lyrics. I like both eras
There is no "Tarja's songs" All songs are written by TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN !
Yes, I did a mistake eith the spelling. But you know, you said that Anette sutdied in a conservatory in Sweden, well, Tarja studied in a conservatory in Finland and she gots a scholarship yo the most famus conservatory in Germany, and trust me, I know plenty about music too :D
amazing! definitely, she was the best choice for nightwish!
I still don't get what exactly attracts all of you in her singing..an absolutely ordinary voice and way of performing.
I do agree!
I dare hope that she IS still a singer in metal). yes, not the best, but sertainly special. the magic of her voice affects me greatly, nothing else to say..that's a personal perception, I believe
