but you see,if I was married,I would still be using my maiden name because I like it so much...I actually hate the fact we have to use our husbands name when we get married...it seems like we belong to our husbands.I hate it!

I'm very traditional in my views in that way, If I get married I would want to be my husbands possession, as that is originally what marriage was about, but I understand it's not a common viewpoint these days.

but I'm not traditional at all,so I'll keep my own name...it sounds cool,and there is also a possibility that my husbands name will sound strange...

I like to be traditional but with my last name I think if I get married i'd want to take my wife's name

hopefully she'll stay for a while, but I think she'll leave before Nightwish split (which I hope will never happen!)

I agree with wildchild - I'm not traditional. If I get married, I wont be changing my last name (not so much because I like my last name [I don't particularly], but because I dislike the principal of being expected to change your last name to your husband's), and I also certainly wont be taking the "Mrs." title. As a matter of fact, I feel so strongly about it that you don't want to get me started, so I'll stop here. This would be especially true if I was a performer - I'd want to be known by my original name. But it's certainly a touchy subject with lots of different viewpoints of course - that's just my personal opinion...

Anyway, with regards to how long I think Anette will stay with NW. It's hard to say. So far everything seems to be going fine, but I'm not convinced yet that she will be with the band the whole rest of the time NW keeps going. I think it's too early to say - maybe give another year or so, and then if things keep going as smoothly as they have and the next album is a success, perhaps she'll be there for good. You never know though, even if things appear to be going well you can never say for sure. I do think that she'll be in NW for at least another 1 - 3 years at minimum though.

I don't see Anette staying with NW until the end, probably because I think something doesn't click between her voice and the music. I can't imagine NW in 20 years time still with Anette. Like others have mentionned she has a child, and women in general are more attached to their children than men. This tour will last two and a half year and I can imagine she wil be pretty exhausted vocally and emotionally after it. However, we'll see what life reserves.

As for Tarja getting back in Nightwish, I would sure like to see that, but I don't know if it's truly possible. However, I do see a possibility of Tuomas helping Tarja in her solo career in the near future. Once they talk to each other again (which both of them said they would like to), Tuomas could write a few songs for/with her. At least that's what I hope. The chemistry between her voice and his music is so good that it would be a waste not to use it anymore.

It wouldn't shock me if she leaves after two or three albums.

I dont think she will be leaving I cant see them changing singer again. I think Anette brings a lot to Nightwish, a lot of emotion to the songs. They all seem to be very close and friendly with her as well. I know we only see onstage but the connection she has with them all seems genuine and they have a lot of onstage banter

I really dont care about that because Tuomas did the worst in my opinion, and they won't have a better singer. Tarja was their best (and the music of course, but the singer is always who will bring us the emotion of the music and I don't feel anything when Anette is singing).

I don't see her styling too long. Between getting divorced,trying to date a guy from her home of Sweden and raise a son all while trying to do half way across the world is a hard task. I see her for maybe two or three task before she deicededs her family needs her more. Espically with her son being so what 7 or 8 he is going to reach the age where his mom needs to be home and not away from him.

Yeah, it's true. And it's her first big band, so probably she would like to try other things and sounds..

(I hope so.. ahuahuauahu.. )

She is going to stay in Nightwish FOREVER

I'm sure she realised the amount of hard work and effort she would have to put in to it, but she did apply after all, why would she then give it all up?

good. ,, don't think she'll leave ever" you think different when Tarja was singing in NW? and you see what's happened.

I guess she will never leave
how would be if tarja comes back?
MY DREAM:Tarja and Anette singing duets!Impossible!

Anette haters listen!
You thik she will go..her lovers think she will never leave...
What are you saying for her son?
He was in Croatia standing right next to me...he is going on a tour with her

Anette will stay with NW forever I am sure
She is perfect for NW....OK everyone can be a little bad at the beginning ... but when you go deeper... you will be better & better

And Ena,you got a 10+

I won`t be a NW fan anymore if they`l change the singer again..because i`m tired of all these NW changes...Anette is enough for me

Thanks...I said what I tought! Anette IS perfect for NW!
You know that Maestro Tuomas won't choose a singer who is bad & he didn't want Tarja's copy.
I read that Anette was in 10 best singers and she was choosen for the BEST one...
Sooooo....now we know everything
I hope & I know that she will be in NW 4 ever

Honestly?

I don't think she's got very long left in Nightwish. She's a parent and I honestly don't believe she has the capicity to balance this much longer. Anette has already had one homesick breakdown, which caused a gig here to be cancelled and a few more around the east coast I believe. She's run off the stage crying.

The NW guys have basically been on the road 300 days a year since they were really young. They're used to it. Anette went from a little nothing band to a widely sucessful band. IMO she won't be able to handle the touring schedule for a long time.

I really do think she can handle it. Marco and Jukka are parents, so I dont think that matters so much. And I'm sure she'll get used to touring, they just need to have more breaks. Which was going on when Tarja was in the band as she could not play more than 2 shows in a row. And when Marcelo booked the 3 in a row she got ill. So they have learnt they need the breaks. And it's not that bad when they are touring Europe, it's easier for her spend more time at home then.

The boys were struggling but it's less obvious with them, she cant really hide her voice away. They came back from the break for the Deja Vu tour and she's been fine so as long as it's not heavy heavy touring she'll cope.

I think she fits Nightwish perfect and the guys obviously think the world of her and support her 100%. I really think she'll always be with Nightwish. But you know if she's not I'm always gonna support them all.

Yes Ktsunami , I think honestly.
Marco and Jukka are parents too.
I agree with Kellie

"I think she fits Nightwish perfect and the guys obviously think the world of her and support her 100%. "

And the guys choosed her , so that tells that she can do it.

Marco and Jukka are fathers. I'm sure they miss their kids, but frankly it's an entirely different story psychologically. When was the last time a little boy said that he wanted to be a father? Little girls always want to be mothers, that's the problem. Women settle down when they have kids.

Well her son must spend a lot of time with his Dad away from her anyway. Lots of 'rockstars' or whatever must be moms but they do fine. Sharon does fine with it. They just need to make sure they have some breaks.

I dont see her leaving by choice, Nightwish is too big for her to give up and she loves being in Nightwish and I dont see them sacking her. She's commented lots on how hard it is to be away from her son but she copes. She's always wanted to be a singer and her son understands and supports her. I really dont think it's that big of an issue.

i think, Anette will leave from NW after 1 or 2 years. and i think tarja never will come back to NW again...

Oh not this...

The shows last fall in the US were cancelled because Anette was sick not because she had a breakdown. That was later in South America when she ran off stage and when she claims the fights between the band happened.

I think it's a miracle Anette lasted as long as she did on that tour. You cannot drag anyone around the world and make them sing in front of audiences that aren't always all supportive and expect them to grin and bare it. But surely she isn't going to quit because she got ill a few times or stressed from traveling. From her blog she seems happier now, which is really all that matters.

And NW is happy with her.
(And I also said "Oh my!" when I read this topic)
