Description first of all, yes i know i am obsessed.

this is Tarja Turunen, finnish soprano and ex-vocalist for Nightwish.

it is completely digital, so if it looks a little off, its because i am still getting used to my tablet.

woow, you're good!
I love your drawings, this one really has got emotion, you don't see a lot of smiling Tarja drawings

About discussion , I only met Anette so I can't compare, but I'm positive Tarja wouldn't disappoint

thank you!

i don't know why there are not more of her smiling because she smiles ALL THE TIME!

you got to meet Anette! that's so cool!
even though i like Tarja's voice better, i still think that Anette is a really cool person, and would be super fun to meet!

Wow! I reconised this from my photo when looking in your gallery without reading it in the artist comment! Great likeness, it's a really nice drawing.
You sure have a lot of Tarja drawings in here.
Thank you for linking back to the photo!

i just thought it was such a great capture. just perfect timing. and i think her smile is soooooooo cute!

You are very welcome.

Ahhw, have you been a fan for a long time? Did you like her in Nightwish or the solo stuff, or both?

I think the combination of her voice and the music of Nightwish really was amazing.

Yeah art thieves are really bad. I've had that happen a bit to many times. It's good to see some people still get how it's suposed to work.

i am actually a pretty new fan. i did not discover Nightwish until a few months ago.

i heard them first with Amaranth and i thought they were really good, but then, when i started looking for more of their music, i heard the songs with Tarja and they instantly became my favorite band! (and my obsession with Tarja started!)

actually, i had heard Wish I had an Angel a few years ago and really liked it, but i did not know who it was by. Nightwish is not very popular here in America. It has been really hard to find all of their music.

i like Tarja's solo career, and i LOVE her stuff with Nightwish. you are right, there was something really amazing hapening when she sang with Nightwish!

i like Nightwish's stuff with Anette, but it is not as good. and Anette is not really a good singer live. she is only good in the studio. Tarja is amazing live!

Ahhw, that really cool. Yay for new fans.

Did you get to see her live yet or didn't Tarja come to the US yet for a live tour?

whutnot In reply to Anvanya1981 [2009-03-01 19:09:13 +0000 UTC]

she's not coming to the US until April and May, but i will not be able to go because all of the concerts will be too far away, plus, i have exams on the days of the concerts

GigHHGIGIGIGIG.....!

..Trust me. You're not the only one who's a little obsessed..

I LOVE this, I really do think it's one of the best, and coolest drawings I've seen of Tarja. That's Tarja.. As in.. Not Anette.

Anywho.. BRAVO!!!

yes. Tarja...NOT anette.

although i do not HATE anette, i just really, really prefer Tarja. i mean, really prefer.

Heronymous In reply to whutnot [2009-01-09 05:52:50 +0000 UTC]

YeaH! I don't hate her either, in fact I think she's pretty cool.. Off-stage.

Frankly, she's just not as good of a singer as Tarja was (Oops, I mean is. Her solo stuff is quite nice too. ), and I think that Tarja's voice went far better with Nightwish's instrumentals.

Just my two cents, however.

whutnot In reply to Heronymous [2009-01-09 13:14:12 +0000 UTC]

i agree completely. i actually really like Anette as a person and i think she is really funny and cute in interviews, but on stage, its like death.
she's not so bad in the studio, but Tarja pwns her live.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Heronymous In reply to whutnot [2009-01-09 22:44:47 +0000 UTC]

Exactly!
I like her enough, and she seems a little more light, and maybe fun than Tarja, but.. C'mon..
Tarja's the real talent here hands down.

whutnot In reply to Heronymous [2009-01-09 22:51:23 +0000 UTC]

i actually think Tarja would be super fun to hang out with! she seems so approachable. but Anette would be really fun too!

but you are right. Tarja just has THE voice.

Heronymous In reply to whutnot [2009-01-09 23:02:36 +0000 UTC]

Well, yeah, she seems very nice, and cool, and probably would still be awesome, but Anette's got like.. a certain energy.. or something..?
Maybe I shouldn't be trying to justify this if I can't explain it.

But, while Anette may seem "funner" to me, I'd rather choose to meet Tarja if the opportunity arose to choose between 'em, now that I think about it.

whutnot In reply to Heronymous [2009-01-09 23:05:47 +0000 UTC]

hmmm. i've seen a lot of videos with Tarja meeting fans, and she seems like she has a lot of energy, too. but i can understand what you mean about Anette.

but, i'm with you. i would soooo rather meet Tarja. i think i would die of happiness!

Heronymous In reply to whutnot [2009-01-09 23:41:09 +0000 UTC]

Yes.. That is true..
Maybe it's because Anette seems younger-
..Wait a minute.. Wha..?
Okay, I just Wiki'd their ages, and Anette's actually 6 years older than Tarja.. Wasn't expecting that one. Maybe I'm just not a good judge of appearance!

Well. Anywho. YES. Absolutely, meeting Tarja would be AMAZING!
High five, Haha.

whutnot In reply to Heronymous [2009-01-10 00:06:03 +0000 UTC]

i think Tarja is more mature acting and dressing than Anette. some of the outfits Anette wears are only appropriate for 13 year olds.

Tarja always wears things that are elegant.

Heronymous In reply to whutnot [2009-01-10 00:46:22 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you're very right.
Tarja wore those dresses in the concerts like no other.
They look so good on her!
