- Interview with Tarja, after nightwish split up, this is not the press conference.
Translation by Orion.
"Q: How about from now on, are you gonna stay a classical singer or are you gonna try singing in a rock band again? Is there something about it that would make you wanna keep doing it?
A: Yyyyyeahhh...Of course I'm gonna still do classical concerts in a future, and I hope I can develope myself in it, take lessons and make the basics better that I had before Nightwish. I have progress during Nightwish too, and I will in a future as well. And the rock-thing I'm not gonna forget either, and the future plans of me as a solo artist, and I don't wanna forget the certain heavy metal basis that I got in 9 years career in Nightwish. It has given so many new elements to me, and I'm gonna use them in future. It's not that I'm gonna make a heavy metal album, but some elements from here and there. Put them together with my classical voice, education and person. I think that's gonna be the thing that people hear from me.
Q: Is it impossible thought that you would join some band?
A: Now that you're asking....I've never sacrificed a thought for jumping into some band that already exists, as a frontwoman. That's pretty strange thought to me. I feel more like I wanna stand on my own two feet from now on and make music with people...But jumping into some band doesn't feel like me at all.
Q: If we think about Nightwish's music from the technical and interpretational point of wiew. What do you think, how difficult songs they are to sing? Can some new singer sing them just like that?
A: For me it took many years to learn to sing Nightwish's music. The learning process came to the climax with the last album. It took so many years to learn to sing those songs, not because Tuomas would've intentionaly compose difficult songs for me to sing, but because my way of using my voice is so very different from normal rock singing. And ambitus in a music is bigger and wider than rock singers usually use. So I think some sort of basis are needed, but on the other hand I believe that the band has no intetion to continue with Tarja-clone to jump into my shoes. And that can be very good and positive thing, but of course the spirit in those songs will change if the singer is not trained.
Q: Judging by the album charts, the new collection [Highest Hopes] wasn't as succesfull in the Finnish charts as the previous Once album. So what do you think, was the band going down?
A: Well personally I can't agree with that. Collection is of course a collection of the band's career, possibly the best songs from each album. And many fans already had all of our albums and this collection was kinda extra bonus, and I don't believe that it would be a first symptom of band becoming less famous, because I really believed that the next album would've been the huge success. I really believed that, and I talked about it in public that it's gonna be the biggest thing for Nightwish. That's what I expected and that's what I was ready for. And the fact is that ht ealbum Once got attention in countries that didn't know Nightwish before. But let's see how it goes and how this change will affect. It'll be like..."
"Cultural differences combined with greed, opportunism and love is a dangerous combination". Cultural differences... if he wanted to criticize Marcelo, he should not attack by his country of origin. In this sentence, Tuomas showed how he is: a fucking racist. It is so typical in Finland to hear them insult us the foreigners and say they are always better than other nationalities. It is just so often, that Tuomas sentence just sounded familiar.
That was not the correct way to criticize Marcelo/Tarja.
Tarja, you are a flower, and the best thing was to not be anymore with this kind of person.
It's so funny to me how Tarja's departure with the band was because they believed she was too fixated on money and was too self-absorbed. Guess what? MONEY is what keeps the band going, not your wanna-be "soul-bound" bullshit, nor is it your fans who won't pay you a dime to listen to your content. It's simply MONEY. Nothing else affects that. It makes 0 difference how passionate you are about music, how skillful you are at music, or how many fans you have. At the end of the day it comes down to a paycheck just like any other job. That's what allows you to live your life.
Tarja treats something that's a business LIKE a business, and she's right to do so. She's obviously passionate about it, otherwise she wouldn't do it. She's a goddess when it comes to her vocal talent and she in EVERY way should not be paid less than what she deserves for what she does.
They even mentioned the fact that she felt 'irreplaceable'. Guess what, she is irreplaceable. Look what happened to Nightwish after she left. It went to shit and no one cares about them anymore. The only people, myself included, that still listen to them are because they feel OBLIGATED as a once-fan to do so. I in no way get the same feel from the band as I did when Tarja was around.
Guitarists, drummers, whatever else, all replaceable. Vocalists? More often than not, no, especially when you have someone like Tarja front-lining your band. Hell, another example is Three Days Grace. Just recently Adam left and now everybody is in an absolute frenzy about how terrible their new content sounds without him. It's the exact same scenario as this. You can't replace vocalists like them who have some of the most unique talent out there. Sounds like that ARE simply irreplaceable.
I'd be in EVERY way honored to play music by Tarja's side, whether I was her best friend through it all or not. If she wants to do her own thing in life and make money from her passion, so be it. Music isn't always about being buddy-buddy through it all. It's about going out, enjoying the shows, and making money. They threw away one of the most talented vocalists out there simply because they under-appreciated the absolute fuck out of her, and as a result it killed their band. Music is a business, it's time to start treating it like one, retards. Never going to respect that band again. Meanwhile, I'll keep enjoying all of Tarja's classic content that simply can't be replicated like Nightwish's songs (which there are 50 bands out there that I know by name that sound exactly like them and their new content..).
*****
Who cares? She's the focal point of a band. Not just as a vocalist, but as a unique artist in general. You make music revolving around TARJA and her voice. Any other band member can be replaced, but a unique vocal talent such as hers cannot.
Music's a business. When one particularly special artist isn't being recognized the way she deserves, why would she settle for less just to appease people? That makes no sense.
*****
Yes I did? Apparently you didn't read my comment at all, lmao. I wrote what you said literally in the first sentence of what I wrote dude.
*****
Because it's on a video about it? LOL. I'm giving my take on it, because I believe what the band did was idiotic just because she didn't want to settle for less than what she deserved.
cdwwg i totally agree with you. this is bussines not a charity. finally someone who understands. Those ignorant greedy fucks fucked it up. i dont know what they were thinking.
This is NOT true. The money-discussion, for instance, came up when Nightwish were touring in America. They were paid little, they had no dressing room for changing clothes, they did not even had an own toilette. She discussed these circumstances with the band and they agreed to ask for better conditions. Weeks later Tarja red in the Internet (!!!), that Nightwish were selling tickets for the next America Tour -> with exactly the same fucked up conditions! As a result she cancelled the whole thing and she did right to do so. If you do an excellent job (and they did), you deserve a certain respect and an appropriate payment. That is just it and this has absolutely nothing to do with greed.
where are the subs when you need them :)
I listened to this and I don't even understand the language.
suomi finland perkele!
I see nothing but honesty in her face.
I feel absolutely that she should be respected and supported forever - for the nightwish guys im not so sure
All ours
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi tribal chief of metal music ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wanna watch tribal chief all titles defense ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mr lp battle ko rko for the us championship at wm Cr sr battles drj rr in a tag match
so he kicked her in spite of the knowledge that she would have nightwish anyway. the question now is: what sense does it have to kick somebody if the person is going to leave the band anyway? I think the answer is his pride and anger, he wanted to show her who got the balls, wanted to hurt her. And such a person is called bandleader....he is a pityfully bastard in my eyes.
well if there is no manager, someone from the band has to manage, and as a manager tough decisions have to be made. prefer nightwish rn tbh
she is very beautiful woman and shes voice is very beautiful
This story of failed romance reminds me of Romeo & Juliet. Tuomas & Tarja made a perfect couple but they were doomed in the very beginning. The sins of beauty, as witnessed many times before, are incompatible with wisdom, and only death brings the eternal peace.
Bye bye beautiful.
It's strange how the word "diva" has become derogatory. In the original sense, a diva is any celebrated female singer. I listen to her more than Nightwish now.
Anyone need subtitles?
I don't think I could have done any interview with Tarja.I would drown in her eyes.Wouldn't be able to speak in any language on this earth.*sigh*
Tarja forever.*love*
she has no diva attitudes. thats just what tuomas says. cause he couldnt stand that she was able to be successful even without Nightwish.
Her eyes... wow
she sounds even more beautiful in whatever language that is. her voice has always matched her beauty. getting rid of her was a stupid idea, but nightwish and tarja are both better off without each other. and anette is in a much better position than she was before. lucky bitch.
@lkirkup i hail from england and yea i am having the same problem the cost of every thing and your like me i love finland and norway anything to do with vikings and dude im my eyes every is equal so where do you hail from friend

i must agree wit you anette is a good singer but tarja is the wamen for nightwish and don't tarja have the most beutifull eyes tarja is my most fave singer in the world no one can beet her
@Finlaa Oh please! What does the word which sounds [toki] mean? It's a cute word (though I don't even know what it means :)), and I hear it often from her, so I wonder. :)
@Finlaa Thanks :D
Once again, we don't speak fast, well you either, and beautiful is the Finnish! Not as the french..

@dorBrex I assume Finnish. But hey, I wouldn't really know.
IDK who she is but she's so hot man.....what langauge is she speakin?
I miss Tajra... She has got better voice than Anette.. :/
No idea what they are saying but she has amazing eyes.
Puts any other female vocalist to shame? I think so
Finnish is almost as good as Swedish lol.
@Florek777 She is still so beautiful :D
@Finlaa we really don't :)

@PingouinBleu1

finnish
@imayadatty Thanks! That what I thought so The Band haven't been the same without her! I still like her and want to see the band together like before. T-T
Thank you, for the informations. I am trying to search on google but sometimes I coudn't understand what it is about. I like short cut informations it's more easy for me to understand.
Thank you very much! I press like for you milians times.
Tarja is direct and sincere about what she's saying in interviews. I'm glad that she is still continuing to make incredible music, because leaving an angel's wings clipped is much too sad... like turning a goddess into a mortal. I like Tarja.... as much as I loved and continue to love Nightwish. Even with Anette as the new vocalist. Honestly though I get seriously mad when I see Anette do covers of Tarja's already remarkable songs. XD
She's Finnish. So, by all means, feel free to think of her as a special person, with highly unique features; people in the North are that way...but that's just my opinion.
I love Tarja, go with the dream woman, you got talents that blow anyone out of the water. I can't see any rock singer mimicing that haunting voice. Each day you get new fans even after Nightwish.
@Finlaa I love your language, it's rich and beautiful! I would love to learn it, but it seems really difficult.. :). We, french, don't talk too fast either :D Aaaah, I love finnish so much! ^o^
To those saying she "left"... She was actually fired because of her diva attitude and greed. (Not my views, I'm just quoting the letter).
that cracked me up the whole interview in Suomi, then near the end "the biggest thing" in English. Trying to learn Suomi but very hard language to learn.
Alright, so, I didn't even mind that she was speaking in a different language. I totally got lost in her eyes the whole video.
She sings some of them very well in my opinion. Sleeping Sun and Planet Hell for example.
uuuhhh I made a mistake, so terrible
LEARN to show respect first, writing is easy
They come from finland and the interviewer guy was from finland so its easier for them to speka their language :P
can someone please give me the gist of what she is saying?
Solo career?Can you name me some of her songs?
i love all them to lol and yea ive heard it its amazing
god damnit stop trying to start arguments.
Translation in the video description
I love here voice more then the voice of Anette
new to the band why aren't they speaking english?
jännä miten Tarja itte luulee että Nightwish on Heavy metallia :/
Uggggggh one day I will understand en ymmärrä
tarja es lo mejor dios la creo para su musica la km.y mas la amo a mi mama xq es el retrato de tarja jim
ooohhh i get it now alright
Both are equal anyways
she said that it took so many years to sing all the songs.
True
Floor Jansen puts both Tarja AND Anette to shame and really brings Tuomas's songs to life and realizes their full potential with her superior voice and commanding stage presence. If only Floor had been the lead female singer from the start, one can only imagine how much more successful Nightwish would be today.
wow thats the most idiotic thing to say obviously that makes you an idiot. floor is absolutely amazing and her energy and voice is outstanding and she is perfect for nightwish, yet tarja's voice is beyond majestic tho floor is great she cant match tarjas superior style voice or just feeling.
