There's no denying I'm going to miss Nightwish being able to release albums like Oceanborn and Wishmaster, most of which are utterly beyond her vocal range (just imagine her trying to do She Is My Sin or Stargazers) but then Once and Dark Passion Play are probably my two favourite albums by the band anyway, and she has no problem with tracks on Once.

She was alright, but not stellar.

The new album's one of their best, and the songs from that worked fine, but she lacks the power in her voice to pull off the Tarja-era material properly.

So disappointed. I know she not an opera singer but even by "normal" singing standards she was pretty crap. The songs she did from the new album were not bad, but there are many bands such as Within Temptation, Angelzoom or Leaves Eyes that just do what she is doing, a million times better. She sounded like a dodgy russian pop singer!

Im so disappointed, i really hoped this would be at least somewhere between mediocre and not bad!

Looks like me and Ais were the only ones who loved it then! Shall need to find out the critical reaction to these gigs...
