    Jorge, had Floor not answered the SOS to join the band mid-tour in 2012, we wouldn't even be talking about this, as the band would have split. Troy confirmed this in an interview last week, voicing what many had suspected when Anette was sacked. Tarja and Floor are friends and constant comparisons have become wearisome. Tuomas writes songs to compliment the strenghs of whoever is singing (and that includes both Marko and Troy) so the question is moot. Also, it is 19 years since Tarja left, so the passage of time and a wealth of lived experience has changed each member of the band.

    I came to Nightwish as Tarja was the singer, she fit well at that time. Now I prefer Floor because her timbre is warmer and her voice fits better to the songs written after she joined the band. As for duets I miss Marko but for "slow" songs I prefer Troy's voice in addition to Floor's. ETA: Like in this song 🥰

    I started to listen to Nightwish when Tarja was the singer. But I absolutely prefer Floor. I always loved the music but listening to Tarja for too long was just too much. It was all just one dimensional to me. Floor has a tone of voice that I really love, she can sing anything, in many different ways and it just hits me differently. I've seen Nightwish with her twice and also her solo shows 4 times. And every time as soon as she started singing I started crying. No idea why, just a gut reaction. She's also an empath and is able to put so much emotion into her voice that even my dumb autistic self can feel it 😅 Not to mention, with her versatility, Tuomas can write whatever he wants, she'll be able to sing it.

    This is another Tuomas Holopainen masterpiece. He only keeps on getting better as his talent and vision matures. Absolutely stunning. This composition is as deep as the Marianas Trench and has more layers than a baklava.
    I'm 73 and I am the last man standing in my family. I understand the loss, yet I still live with hope and intent. Nevertheless, Floor's voice and this composition is akin to an emotional depth charge to the heart. Her face, good Lord, her beautiful face so expressive and adorned with nothing save her heart and soul just melts me to my core. Some of you get it. Some of you don't. I do, and that's all that matters. Kiitos to all of you in Nightwish for delivering such epic and emotional story telling

    I am a Flooraholic, so the answer to your question is easy. Tarja obviously has a greater operatic background and is better in that regard, but Floor can do it all from full operatic to death growls. Tuomas has now no limits in writing his songs and as Floor likes to be challenged, Tuomas takes advantage of that.

    This song was inspired by the death of Tuomas's fathern. I interpret the lantern as your inner self after a loss. It hangs in the tree dark and cold at the beginning, in a cold minimal landscape. In the middle, is is lit a little, at the end brighter. it represents the stages of grieving. A beautiful, haunting, powerful song, showing off Floor's growing ability to powerfully express emotion. I love all three of Nightwish's singer's and each represents a stage in the growth of the band. Tarja's voice is more operatic, darker, warmer tone up high. Annette was more of a pop singer, Floor is the most flexible, has the clearest tone. and is the most charismatic on stage. Tuomas wrote for each singer fit the music to their talents. Enjoy them all for what they are, enjoy the band for how it approached music in each stage of its artistic development.

    Floor or Tarja; I never asked myself this question. I love them both and both have helped shape the band. I was never lucky enough to see Tarja with Nightwish Live (I was born in 2002), but I love her old recordings. In fact, I didn't get to know Nightwish and Floor until I was 10 in 2013 in Wacken. Since then I've been traveling to as many concerts as I can possibly manage.
    However, I also follow Floor's solo career and I also visit these concerts as often as I can.
    I'm very happy that Floor also sings songs from Tarja's time, because that's how I'm lucky bothwith the same wonderful music.

    My hot take on the 3 vocalists: I don't care, and as a fan I'm happy about every departure of any former member.
    I'm not apathetic about vocals. Each vocalist performed very proficiently on their respective studio albums as the music required. Music is not a competitive sport. I don't need a more technically skilled or "vocally athletic" singer to somehow elevate the music, especially since the music is already superb and dynamic. I never listen to a song like Storytime and think "I wish Floor had sung this on the record". I love their live videos with Floor, but I listen to the album recordings for the full experience.
    I'm also glad for every vocalist that left. Not only have their decision made them happier in their personal life, but look at it this way - we now have 4 times as much music from them: Tarja, Anette, Marco all have release quality solo albums. I'm a big fan of Tarja solo in particular. How do we as fans get to have more great music from the artists we like and still find ways to complain and argue lol!

    The preference for Tarya or Floor highly depends on when you started listening to Nightwish and if you prefer operatic style above other styles. It made Nightwish unique in the early days. My preference is Thuomas music (both Auri and Nighwish) for me his music resonates with me in a unique way. Floor never tried to take over Tarya's style and always went her own way when performing the songs. And i'm glad for it, if you like the operatic versions of these numbers then they are there already for you, no need to do that again.
    But Floor showed with songs like Shoemaker (and some of her Revamp work) that she is perfectly capable of the operatic style if she wants to, no need to prove it.

    Finland, along with Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and the Faroe Islands are referred to as Nordic. Scandinavia comprises Sweden, Norway and Denmark; they are culturally similar and have related languages. Finland is culturally different although it has adopted a similar social welfare-based economy to other Nordic countries, and Finnish, as a language, is very different from the Scandinavian language groups. Because their languages and cultures are more closely related, Iceland and Faroe Islands (although autonomous, part of the Kingdom of Denmark) are often included under the Scandinavian umbrella.
    Switzerland is slap bang in the centre of Western Europe and has little to do with Scandinavia or the Nordic area other than being a member of the European Free Trade Association (Norway and Iceland are fellow members - Liechtenstein also - all being outside the EU).

    I like the older songs with Tarja that were written for her voice. Something like Slaying the Dreamer really works with Tarja's operatic sound as it's such a contrast with the heaviness of the track. I know Floor can kind of do operatic but it's not the same quality as Tarja's and she sings SLD in a kind of blended/chest voice that doesn't suit the song.

But it was a significant period of the band's history (the movie "Imaginaerum" and all). And only Anette managed to be an innocent child, a femme fatale and an evil Snow White at the same time.
