Bye Bye Beautiful

What are your opinions? Great song but a really awful video Oh well, you can't win them all can you?

Yeah i love this song, it's right up there with WIHAA in fact i think it's a lot like that song to be honest. Yeah the video is pure tack but the song is brilliant. They opened with this (no surprise there) and now when i hear it i get that excited feeling again

Yes, great set opener. If Tarja was still there they would have probably opened with something with a longer into but thought better of giving Anette a "grand entrance" after the rest of the band so soon!

song isn't something special...I enjoyed it for a while(just like WIHAA),but then I got bored.

Who cares about the video? The song is absolutely fantastic! Best song on the entire album. Marco's vocals are brilliant, but as I am a Marco fan, I would say that, wouldn't I?!!

I don't like it for 2 reasons...

1. It is about Tarja,
2. It has the Wish I Had An Angel vibe.

I think the video is really odd. And i think they should have gotten girls that look like them, seeing as Tuomas doesn't have an afro yet the woman playing him does...

I find it similar to WIHAA as well. That's probably the reason that I love this song so much.

The worst! I really hate it.

HATED this song to begin with (partly because I felt it amounted to airing dirty laundry in public again) but I must admit, it IS pretty damned awesome. lol

I like this song, I think it was important for Tuomas to express his feelings in this way by writing these lyrics about Tarja.

I really, honestly hate this song. And not just because it's about Tarja...the lyrics themselves, even if they weren't directed at her, are extremely obnoxious. I totally didn't expect such lyrical horribleness from Tuomas, who I think is one of the most amazing song writers almost ever, which he proved to me in their previous albums. Just really, really sad for being a Nightwish 'song'.

I like this song, even though, I don't understand a lot of the lyrics in the verses, which has happened before to me with NW songs! lol!

And I DO think the video is HORRIBLE. Blech. Even IF the stupid fake bassist girl ACTUALLY SANG INTO THE MICROPHONE it would still be something blech to me.

I don't much care for this song - neither lyrically or musically (the chorus I find rather generic, Anette's verses are okay though), and the video bugs me too. I also find it annoying that they use this song as their opening at all their concerts - it's not nearly the strongest way to start the show (if it wasn't for that the song might not get on my nerves quite so much).

Plus, I also think this song pales in comparison to Wish I Had An Angel, which I think it was supposed to be similar to.

I'm surprised they open with it too. When they opened with it for the first concert with Anette it seemed like a direct dig at Tarja, it being the very first song sung live by the new band.

They still do "dark chest of Wonders" as the 2nd song live and i think this is a perfect opener. The problem is that Tarja used to make a big entrance to this live and they wouldn't do that with Anette because they didn't know what audience reaction to her would be like. Both songs are pretty impressive live with all the pyro and fireworks though!

If there wasn't Marco's voice I would be sure that's not a Nightwish song...

It was the first song I heard with Anette other than Eva and I was really dissapointed. I also hate how it was taking a swing at Tarja.

I agree with you

I agree. But song is not very bad... (again) If Anette didn't sing old songs of NW

Exactly. I still hate how the lyrics were aimed at Tarja. How is Tarja suppose to keep moving on from this if Tuomas making a song airing everything out? And I couldn't stand Anette at all. Marco's part were the only thing I liked on the song.

I`m sorry but i think this is the only NW song that i HATE!!!
first of all,i think it has something to do with tarja when she was kicked out from NW,and they made this song..awful
and the video...even more awful!
i`m really sorry,i love NW but i don`t wanna hear again this song...i should listen all of the others except this...
i`m sorry for all of you who love this song.it`s just my opnion!

I respect your thinking
I love the song & the video
Everyone has a right to tell own thinking
But I do not like when somebody is using rude words for the members (especially for Anette...I really hate when someone is using rude words for her....and other singers and bands...If they could imagine how would be if someone is making rude comments about them)
That's just my thinking
*please people do not kill me*

i`m not killing you of course,I do respect others opinion But I just can`t stand this song..
And ok I also hate the rude comments abou Anette on YT..most of them have nonsense because they don`t even want to give Anette a chance
To be honest I didn`t like Anette at first and I was another stupid person who wrote bad comments about Nettan but once someone told me to give her a chance..and I did...and now I simply love her

thhat is a good think...
I read once that someone wrote her "die"
That person is soooooo rude & does not have a fellings...
Anette is a fantastic & best singer(for me) & that is IT!
