Poor Floor...



We don't know how this might work out. For all we know, she'll be announced as the new vocalist (both sides certainly sound like they would like to work together, from what I've read) and the next album will be...I don't want to say "better" than the Annette material, since I quite enjoy it myself and didn't actually mind her in Nightwish (granted, I've never seen them live), but maybe more in line with the Tarja material (which I don't know much of, but what I have heard is certainly very enjoyable).



Personally, I'm on the fence whether it would be good to have Floor in Nightwish, since her current band would not really be able to do much while she is with Nightwish (not that I'm complaining about that: I wasn't fond of ReVamp's first album) and some people would complain that it means After Forever is almost guaranteed to never reform, but we would get a vocalist who can perform music from both eras of Nightwish without necessarily being an impersonator of either Tarja or Annette and it would encourage people to check out both ReVamp and After Forever (if they haven't already) to see what Floor is capable of with material that was written for her voice.

790Turkey Floor in Nightwish would be a fresh start for the band, and a very good choice in all aspects, but Tuomas needs to reconsider his musical direction, as the Disney-tique/fairytale/soundtrack themed composition in the recent album might not work with Floor.

Which I doubt he will if he is already trying to compose a soundtrack album again :\ Loading...

You're right, we don't know. However, they have been dragging their feet on announcing her as the new vocalist. It won't happen. Even if it does, Tuomas isn't writing the new album with her vocals in mind. He is just writing music for any vocalist. If he was sure Floor was his vocalist, he probably would have started the writing process for her vocals. Who knows, maybe he is. Maybe he is holding suspense. But it is kind of getting ridiculous now. Floor has been touring with the band for almost a year now. Would he really wait four more months to announce that the vocalist is the woman who has already been singing with the band for such a long time? I am doubtful. If she is to be their new singer, t'would have been disclosed by now. Poor Floor... You're right, we don't know. However, they have been dragging their feet on announcing her as the new vocalist.

Fair point. On the other hand, she was originally called up just to fill in for the tour, which did have a lot of announced shows before it started. Some singers do later go on to join the band they did touring vocals for (Tommy Karevik sung a few songs for Kamelot before he joined them, although I suppose that was more a gigantic audition process which included a tour...), so who knows?



All I'm hoping for at the minute is that, if Tuomas doesn't ask Floor to join Nightwish, he also doesn't get someone who sounds like Anette. Again, I don't dislike Anette's vocals with Nightwish, but I rather doubt fans of Anette and Tarja would be happy with an Anette sound alike. Then again, I doubt they would be happy with a Tarja sound alike, so I kind of get the feeling they need someone who doesn't sound like either vocalist, but can sing material from both vocalists confidently...I wonder what Amanda Somerville is doing these days?

1183USA Wow he is extremely lax about the situation, I always thought it was his arrogance but this kind of stuff can be extremely stressful and taxing so maybe this is a better way to handle it after all.



Anyway I can only hope that they choose Floor for the new material and I would be super stoked if they also did re-recordings of Dark Passion and Imaginaerum with Floor as well! lol maybe one day... ----

Not heard about Linnea (I've never listened to Therion), so I can't say anything about her. Although that does give me something to listen to if I get enough free time...



I'm not so sure Amanda Somerville would really fit in Nightwish. Yeah, she has the range to pull it off, but I think the Tarja fanatics would want to hear someone who can sing in an operatic style when they hear material she sang on (assuming they'll accept anyone other than Tarja on vocals in Nightwish...). Maybe she'd be a good choice for the Anette material, but the Tarja material? I'd need to hear her sing on that first before I could say with any certainty how that would work out, but, based on my current knowledge of her voice (which is pretty much confined to Avantasia, so that's next to nothing), I'm skeptical.



End of the day, I honestly think Floor would be the best choice, since she can do the singing styles required to pull off the material of both eras. If that doesn't happen, I can only pity whoever else is picked for the vocalist job if they aren't able to do the same...



(As a minor off topic comment, I'm slightly reminded of what happened in Iced Earth: the person who had to replace Barlow the second time also had the challenge of material done with Tim Owens. At least they found Stu Block for that one!) Not heard about Linnea (I've never listened to Therion), so I can't say anything about her.
