EDIT MARCH 10TH: I am selling a Tarja portrait painted on canvas. If you are interested, please email me at sylvera.ttenet(@)yahoo.com. Thanks! Picture below:
(…) to Anette Olzon, on her pregnancy!
The singer has announced that this will not affect her career with Nightwish, and that albums and touring remain as previously planned by the band.
I know this is not Tarja- related news, but I sincerely wanted to congratulate Anette, because she has always spoken highly of Tarja, and I appreciate that. Plus, I’m sure many of the Nightwish fans visiting are interested in this information.
(…) can be listened HERE.
What do you think? Personally I would have loved to hear more of Tarja on the track 
But it does sound epic, doesn’t it? Enjoy!

Tarja posted a new blog about vocal recordings, and the photoshoot for the artwork of WLB. The visuals so far look dark and theatrical, so i am sure it will be AMAZING!

Since 2005, former Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen sings as a solo artist and this year we are proud to present her to you. Her album “My Winter Storm” (2007) hit the Top Five in Germany (#3) and was a gold record in Finland on the release date. Her amazing voice and her distinctive style made her one of the most popular and best known singer in opera metal. The ones who liked her with Nightwish shouldn’t miss this gig!

The Finnish power metal sextet CELESTY has a new lead vocalist, Tony Turunen.
“This feels awesome!” Tony admits. “This is a new and interesting challenge for me. I’m eagerly waiting to see what the future holds for me and the band.”
Dozens of singers applied for the position, but in the end the decision was easy and unambiguous. “He’s not only a great singer, but also a talented lead vocalist with a very powerful stage presence. Plus he’s a great guy!” summarizes drummer and composer Jere Luokkamäki.
CELESTY’s search for a new vocalist began in December. Even if the band was sure who they wanted, the new vocalist had to wait for the confirmation until February.
“A good friend of mine mentioned that Celesty was looking for a new lead vocalist. Since I had listened a lot to their latest album Vendetta, I decided to apply for the position.” Tony explains. “Of course I hoped they’d choose me, but I was still surprised when the band invited me to meet them in a studio. Eventually I recorded vocals for three songs in January. After some time, which actually felt reeeaaally long, the band welcomed me to be their new singer.”
“I feel positive about the future, and I already have lots of ideas for the band. I will do my best and be creative, both in the studio and during live shows. My expectations for the band are extremely high!” says Tony, whose first live show with CELESTY will be in March.
