Well, obviously we like Anette or we would have shut this forum down after Tarja was booted.
The age-old Anette vs. Tarja thing, to me, is just so played out. It's like comparing apples to oranges. They are so different in their singing styles. The only thing they have in common is that they have both sung Tuomas' songs as members of Nightwish.

As I have mentioned before I am still thrown off by some of the adaptations Anette has made on some of the older songs, but not because I don't like it, just because I am so used to it being done one particular way.
I wasn't bashing at all, just curious.
Everyone that I've ever talked to has been very anti-Anette. I was just wondering if there were people out there that do.
I should have just asked for opinions on Anette, and worded the post a little better.
And let's face it, to be Tarja's replacement, you have to have a thick skin and not give a damn for people's opinions. Anette seems to do this well. I think she brings a fun playfulness to the band now, a sort of childlike quality that goes so well with Tuomas' theme of innocence, probably even more so with Tarja. With Tarja (as I said in other posts), the band always seemed to have this image of being untouchable, of being this ethereal, mystic thing. Tarja's voice certainly helped that quality. But now, with Anette, they seem more approachable, more fun-loving, and I like that about her. If her silly clothes are part of it, then by all means, dress up in those rhinestones and funky dresses!
As long as Tuomas is in Nightwish, he could have C has the frontwoman, and he would make the songs fit C's voice, Nightwish would be a solid act.
You mean Tuomas does not do that already?Thanks for your confidence Ray, but to do that would probably mean Tuomas could walk on water or change water to wine.
