So, who would you like to see as the next (ex-) NW vocalist?

Elize, Charlotte from Delain or Floor. I thought Elize did a great job from the videos

Elize would be great. But we'll see what happens...

Eliza does seem a good choice, what we need is an all rounder .. someone who can sing the old stuff better than Anette live (with prob a higher stronger vocal range) and enough power in the voice to carry off the latest stuff.

I love Elize, but I don't really want them to steal her from Amaranthe. I remember how devastated the guys from Whyzdom were when Clementine left them because of an offer from a bigger band. I wonder if they'd get an unknown singer again for that reason. Unless Elize really wants to join them, in which case she would have to sort it out properly with Amaranthe (and Kamelot).

why can't a she or another singer do both? the Nightwish tour isn't forever and there is no hint of when the next album is coming out and the film is all done.. that gives a singer plenty of time to work with their original band .. Marco manages with Tarot.

It's entirely possible, but I think the band will really want a full time singer who is completely devoted to the band and not going to have a burnout from touring. Having said that Elize has managed a lot of touring with different bands, and doesn't have kids or constant illness which are the main things that have made it so hard for Nettie.

The position isn't even cold yet!

I don't think there is any hurry to decide, as Nikki says, if the singer is in another band too, there is no reason why that wouldn't work. Alot of re-thinking of how things work will be going on, i hope with all my heart they dont break up altogether. NW always has, and always will be "the band" as long as they find someone easy going, and a brilliant singer, i hope all will be well. x

I would like to see NW think very long and hard about their next singer, even go as far as to put it to some sort of vote amongst fans? radical suggestion I know! but given this is their second singer in two albums worth, it must either be bad luck or there must be something else. I don't think their next singer would suffer from the same 'You're-Not-Tarja' syndrome that Annette had to put up with.

Slightly annoyed at the constant cry of 'bring Tarja back' on the Nightwish FB page. Might start a topic about this and see what people think.

Tarja already said she doesnt care and not forgave NW yet.. there is no way it will happen and discussing it only re-opens wounds of those that idolized her. I say move forward, not back

Elize is a nice girl, met her a few times, but i'm about the only person on here i think that reckons her band are a bit crap! That doesn't make her crap of course, just haven't seen much to think she's amazing. However, people will speculate on people they know and it could be anyone. Nobody knew Anette when Tarja left.

Yup could be anyone... I suspect they won't go theough the open auditions though but who knows. Let's see end 2013/2014.

However, people will speculate on people they know and it could be anyone. Nobody knew Anette when Tarja left. I thought you'd already agreed to fill in Tom? I agree. In some way I think it might be better for someone who is a complete unknown to fill in the role. My only thought on this is that I'm sure the band will be sceptical about hiring someone without a history of touring as I think this has been a major issue with Anette. It might be worth putting together a recap of all the names that were speculated for Tarja's replacement. That way we can play vocalist bingo...
