Heard Amaranth with Nightwish's new vocalist Anette Olzen. Yeah, she sucks. Tarja should appear out of nowhere and blow up their heads with a sonic attack. It's not that Olzen's bad; it's that she's no comparison.

I think her relation with Nightwish is like Gwen Stefani's with No Doubt. Sure, Tarja didn't write the songs (though Gwen did) but she's the only one anybody cared about because she was the lady in the group and was the lead vocalist and this pissed off the other members. This is just like No Doubt where nobody gave a damn about any of them except Gwen, for obvious reasons.

Losing your vocalist is such an incredible blow to a band; it either kills them, like No Doubt, or propels them to greater heights like AC/DC. I'm sensing more of the first option for Nightwish.
