She gives an awasome new modern sound of the song! Grats, Tarja! You are doing a great job, we ( me and my daughters ) love you! Tarja made this song an epic one!
Whether you agree that her vocal style suits this kind of caveman-rock ( i personally LOVE this version ), seeing her hit those notes ( at the 2:50 mark ) is awesome, not to mention, spine-tingling. Nobody can touch her, Tarja is unique. I have the new album, and it is beautifully-produced, and the songs are excellent, but they are not an 'instant' fix, you have to let it grow on you, and it is essential you hear it through a good sound system before you transfer to MP3.
Amazing :) I am not going to argue about the original version. she just sings amazing...the notes between 2.55 and 3.12 make me shiver...I love her so much!
I love the last part but the song is very groovy so maybe if she approached it with her marvelous chest voice like she did in Darkness and then sang with her head voice on the last part it would be perfect.
I believe she did an amazing job, she turned it into a rock musical sound in a sense. I really enjoy how she does that with music she sings it fluidly and puts her own spin on things! Is it just me or is she not wearing her wedding ring, have I missed something here!
@SingForMeMyLove I was hoping she was still married! I hear that sometimes artist when performing take their rings off or wear them on a different finger. I was kind of worried because that would really suck if that was true that they weren't together!
Tarja has a weird sense of humor when it comes to picking covers. Similar to Pete Steele when he covered Neil Young. Her doing Still of the Night has this oh my God vibe as it was extremely sexual in the 1980s as David Coverdale was quite raunchy with the lyrics.
david coverdale destroi.... whitesnake rules tarja nao conseguiu igualar o agudo de david coverdale, fato a voz de coverdale é muito mais forte, tem muito mais feelin', tem muito mais drive, muito mais potencia e muito mais tudo. antes do instrumental ela deu somente uma demonstraçao de lirico, nada mais que isso coverdale owna demais, coverdale destruiu tarja só comparar versao 1987 live at mtv de coverdale e essa versão. sem mais whitesnake rules 4ever
Well I was a huge fan of Tarja when she was in Nightwish. I think it is cool she did a Whitesnake song. I was a big Whitesnake fan back in the day. This shows respect to me. With all that being said I thought this was a terrible performance by her. The ochrestra was great but Tarja was just plain bad in this one.
Maybe the original has biased me but I don't think her voice is a good fit for this song, because frankly, this song is meant to be screamed rather than sung, 'cause that's Coverdale's style. By way of comparison, Iron Maiden released some Monstrose covers as B-sides in the mid 80s, and it just didn't work. They sounded good in the proto-Maiden era, before they had a full set of their own material, with a raspy singer and a drunk drummer.
@izzypg Estragar, não estragou. Até porque a Tarja estragar algo é meio difícil. Mas q ficou meio estranho ficou... Prefiro ela cantando Poison do Alice Cooper, ou junto do Rata Blanca em Guerrero del Arco -Íris... Mas ainda assim, eu gostei, valeu a intenção, até porque ao que parece não houve muito ensaio pra esta apresentação... Com um arranjo melhor, quem sabe?
She dared to rub to David Coverdale of Whitesnake in trying to interpret "Still of the Night Alas a bad point for Tarja . It disappoints , I found her voice not very adapt and adjust Theoretically, this title should be part of the new album "What Lies Beneath" Personally I prefer the cover of "Poison by Alice Cooper on" My Winter Storm "
@Diana17rock. This is Tarja doing karaoke badly if you ask me,doing any song by David Coverdale is not a good idea.She should have invited John Sykes to play but she would not have be able to sing over his playing,remember DC vocals are rich and soulful, he sings at full volume and full force.Tarja is not that kind of singer.I really do hope this is one off and does not do this song live again becoz it he does nothing for her creditable and talent.She is better than this.
As much as I respect Tarja's work, I don't like this one ..... I understand she's trying to take a rather epic song and turn it around , nothing wrong with that, nevertheless I think the result is rather poor, so as to speak.
wow, my comment was deleted, all I said was this cover is a complete joke. Tarja may have a good voice, but turning a classic Whitesnake song operatic is ridiculous. watching this, i'm embarrased for her. does she really believe this sounds good. if you've never heard the original, then I can understand if you like this, but if you have, and you like this, you're obviously out of your mind.
@IvanTsarina Oh come on! Back to that again?! get over the Anette/Tarja subject, that's so old now!, Im just saying that this version sucks!, not saying she sucks, i used to like her when singing in nightwish but this song simply dont fit her at all, i said "the diva mask" thing cus i think many people here dont see her in a objectively way anymore, and thats just my thought tho, Vocaly THIS version sucks, and thats what i think, and if you dont like it, as i said, i dont care.
Downright bad cover. And this comes from someone who actually likes her rendition of "Poison". Instrumental-wise it's fine, but her vocal approach is fundamentally wrong.
1st off, i'm as big a fan of Tarja as possible, but this is simply a trainwreck !!! the band murders the song, her vocals totaly not suited for this classic,... & i won't even get started on the "air guitar '' @ 00:47 !...the horror !!! Hopefully the album version will translate better than this.
@abraxas101 I didn't call anyone stupid, I just said you're out of your mind if you think this sounds good. it's a horrible version and she should have thought better than to arrange the song in such an awful way.
So you can only post comments that are good! Whatever! clean your ears out...this band is terrible. Tarja is good but come on she can't sing Whitesnake!
Sorry Tarja, you are a really beatiful woman with an amazing voice but some things you can't touch...this is a very bad cover version of a beatiful song. It's like a joke...
so what...great voice...se was amazing with nightwish.but the still of the night???somethng is not right...ok...high vocals is great...but not for all songs...i dont like it.in fact i loved tarja...but now i can say that i love her less....lol
I'm sure this video would make an excellent torture method, in true Clockwork Orange style. Super terrible crap and a totally disgraceful rendition of the original. Riffs cut corners wherever possible and Tarja is really lost with the song, as it goes for any other classic songs she's touched. I really wonder what Mike Terrana has been taking for this show as he at least succeeds in looking like enjoying his work. Maybe it's his professionalism.
2:57 - 3:14
No words...
Her voice has reached perfection, has speed, power, strength and sublime emotion. Ladies and gentlemens, this is ours perfect Tarja Turunen.
She gives an awasome new modern sound of the song! Grats, Tarja! You are doing a great job, we ( me and my daughters ) love you!
This is magnificent! Tarja's a queen in this performance! Her emotional velvet voice is gorgeous! Thank you, Bernard, for this excellent video!

She uses various voice during her songs... i like it :) her voice is perfect
Amazing :)
I am not going to argue about the original version.
she just sings amazing...the notes between 2.55 and 3.12 make me shiver...I love her so much!
...and that's how you know you've been to a Tarja concert! Love, love, love her and her voice 2:55 - 3:12, no competition!
gosh, i love this
Tarja rocks
sublimeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I love the last part but the song is very groovy so maybe if she approached it with her marvelous chest voice like she did in Darkness and then sang with her head voice on the last part it would be perfect.
everytime I hear this song I´m going crazy ;P /m/
I believe she did an amazing job, she turned it into a rock musical sound in a sense. I really enjoy how she does that with music she sings it fluidly and puts her own spin on things! Is it just me or is she not wearing her wedding ring, have I missed something here!
Tarja Rules!!!
@christianano1 I just read in an interviw with Tarja, that this song is NOT going to be in the album, but it would be released someday...
Pretty damn cool
diosaaaaaaa.....💗💛💜
What will be the limit of it? ok, this is Tarja, no surprise.
Versatile!
This song is made of pure win.
i love your toupet myke
that REAAAAAAALY HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH tone's killing me!!!!
Que voz
@nwcarmen this version doesn't suck, it shows great vocal talent a unique twist, and respect to the things that make the original special. Get over it
@slccandelari Panasonic FZ38
@falling325 *_* i TOTALLY agree with u!!!!!! i think the same!!
MIke Terrana Rules! \m/
Nothing beats David Coverdale!
@TheDucess1 HOW TRUE!!! :D couldn't say it better!
@neverlovedaboy: it's just you. She is happily married as ever. No doubt about this.
@PETEYHEYHEYHEY - SO TRUE!!!
could be, don't know. I liked it :)
epico
@SingForMeMyLove I was hoping she was still married! I hear that sometimes artist when performing take their rings off or wear them on a different finger. I was kind of worried because that would really suck if that was true that they weren't together!
UM ESTERCO
@perkele181 do you believe your own words??????
I♥TARJA,But i don't liked her voice on this music....But....03:00-03:13... No words...Perfect Voice. Tarja♥
hahaha hilarious 5:06 at the guy jumping around xD
This woman does not exist! not of this world!
how to make a version 'headbang' - Tarja so fantastic? wonderful ?
start to believe aliens ...
Tarja has a weird sense of humor when it comes to picking covers. Similar to Pete Steele when he covered Neil Young. Her doing Still of the Night has this oh my God vibe as it was extremely sexual in the 1980s as David Coverdale was quite raunchy with the lyrics.
Ok its way hotter when she sings it.
MIKE TERRANA????
@PETEYHEYHEYHEY - but remember that Tarja was sick .... and have high fever the day before he lost his voice ... right?
at 3:00 something tells me she wasnt very confident about that note. She seemed happy no less than a few seconds later
Terrana \m/ :D :-x
david coverdale destroi.... whitesnake rules
tarja nao conseguiu igualar o agudo de david coverdale, fato
a voz de coverdale é muito mais forte, tem muito mais feelin', tem muito mais drive, muito mais potencia e muito mais tudo.
antes do instrumental ela deu somente uma demonstraçao de lirico, nada mais que isso
coverdale owna demais, coverdale destruiu tarja
só comparar versao 1987 live at mtv de coverdale e essa versão.
sem mais
whitesnake rules 4ever
stop in the name of those that doesnt suck!!!
I like the performance, but I prefer coverdale singing it haha. Maybe cuz I used to hear the first one.

@Korhoinen soo bad you cant stop watching, i pity you lol
Mike Terrana
This is some hilarious shit! Truly terrible, but somehow I'm hooked to this...
I can tell you just that Whitesnake version is the best
And this is not bad but I don't like some parts......
@Diana17rock.

Wenn die Kohle stimmt,trommelt Terrana auch für Hansi Hinterseer!
awfullm the only good part is in the middle ,shes is brilliant there
Her operatic vocal style does not suit this song at all...
@IvanTsarina Oh come on! Back to that again?! get over the Anette/Tarja subject, that's so old now!, Im just saying that this version sucks!, not saying she sucks, i used to like her when singing in nightwish but this song simply dont fit her at all, i said "the diva mask" thing cus i think many people here dont see her in a objectively way anymore, and thats just my thought tho, Vocaly THIS version sucks, and thats what i think, and if you dont like it, as i said, i dont care.
I lova Whitesnake and I like Tarja's perfect voice, but this cover do not fit with his voice.
Downright bad cover. And this comes from someone who actually likes her rendition of "Poison".
Instrumental-wise it's fine, but her vocal approach is fundamentally wrong.
nononononononononono

great voice great band but horrible choice of arrangement on this cover. unbearable to listen to. thumbs way down.
drums suck, not cause he can't play well, cause style is not good...
@IvanTsarina Pffff go and do something with your life, if you dont like my oppinions i don't care at all, trust on that.
WTF?
Bad version... listen to true banda, whitsnake rlz!
Sorry, but I think it's Just awful. :(
Not cool..
Wow. That sounded like crap lol :)
Hahaha .. that was terrible !!
that was terrible! tarja and whitesnake do not mix at all. Is that mike terrana?
original still way better
I'm sure this video would make an excellent torture method, in true Clockwork Orange style. Super terrible crap and a totally disgraceful rendition of the original.

жесть, испортила песню...
drumming is horrible
Are you kidding me? That is horrible.....and your right, the drumming sucks too.
horrible
