Outra intrevista de Tarja - Falando sobre seu lado espiritual :)


INTERVIEW WITH TARJA TURUNEN



Mystical Tarja Turunen Tarja Turunen, a fired vocalist from band Nightwish, told Rumba that she even needed to use Romanian “spiritual doctor” while being on exhausting tours. “I had problems with my voice in the very beginning of Once Tour. For the first time, I felt a change in my voice, it didn’t come out like it used before. Perhaps it was the internal pressure while performing, you know? Then such person came to help me (a spiritual doctor). He had also helped me before during last two years at spiritual level and such things. So what exactly happened in a concrete level? “He is a doctor, and he nursed me as a remote doctor. If I was at gig in Argentina, I laid down in gig bus and he nursed me. The feeling was extraordinary. It is hard to explain face to face. I have to admit I believe easily in such things, but I’m skeptic if someone tells me UFO stories. I have to think things twice. But if something happens to me it must be true” “When we last time played in RuisRock in Finland, I didn’t even had a voice to speak, Damn! This person (spiritual doctor) had said to me that If I needed help I could make a call to him. I decided to send text message to him. He made then clear instruction how to deal with situation: Lay down to bed and go into correct position( rise hands into hook). Then think only positive things and remove all negative thoughts from your mind. Five minutes passed and I felt how the doctor was working inside me. Then I felt the energy flow which originated from my fingers and palms and ended to my whole body. Cold shivers traveled trough whole body and I started to cry. I have never before experienced anything like that.” “The whole experience lasted 50 minutes. I wasn’t in any kind unconscious state, but I couldn’t move my body. Marcelo looked from hotel room and wondered what the hell is happening to that woman. Suddenly my hands rose up and stayed there! Feeling was mind boggling. Suddenly my hands dropped down and I felt like dead. How this affected to my voice? Next day we sang and I got my voice back! He is a doctor who has nursed me with homeopathic methods. I have really got help from natural medicines.” Did you had a second thought before telling this to your band mates? “You mean have I finally lost my sense you mean? Yes I gave it a thought. But then I told to everyone including boys and Ewo. But there were naturally skeptics too. But they saw it in action. That Bitch didn’t had any voice, and is now singing like [insert your expression here]. How much did this treatment cost to you? “Nothing” So this service just came from his heart? “Yes, *Tarja answers slowly and devoutly*” “I have to admit I’m very spiritual person. I have visited churches during tours. It has been important to escape all work and pressure. There I can think things like how I have traveled to this point of life. And here we are now hehe. And future is also open to me. And I have good feeling that I could come to speak today about this, and I’m not going to continue speaking of it after this. I really wish, that I could continue my life as a singer, use all experience I got from Nightwish as an advantage in future, and try to turn all sad things into joy and happiness someday. That is what I wish for the greatest part. I will forgive someday the way this act was done, but it’s still so hard to forget it Original text: Janne Flinkkilä, www.rumba.fi

NIGHTWISH NÃO QUER CLONE DE TARJA:
[ fonte: http://www.whiplash.net ]

Apesar do tecladista Tuomas Holopainen já ter composto duas faixas novas, o novo álbum do NIGHTWISH só ficará pronto em 2007. Holopainen, em uma recente entrevista ao periódico finlandês Keskisuomalainen, também falou a respeito da vindoura cantora que terá a árdua tarefa de substituir a recém demitida Tarja Turunen.

Assim como “Once”, o novo CD do grupo levará ao menos seis meses para ficar pronto. Começará a ser gravado no segundo semestre do ano que vem, provavelmente em setembro.

Sendo assim, as contribuições da nova cantora não serão aplicadas até o início de 2007 — deste modo, a banda terá tempo hábil para encontrar uma vocalista à altura de sua antecessora. “Será interessante ver quantas cantoras tentarão o posto”, disse Holopainen.

No entanto, o tecladista já tem certeza que nem todos os fãs receberão a nova vocalista de braços abertos. “É claro que haverá algumas latas de cervejas jogadas no palco quando nos apresentarmos ao vivo com nossa nova vocalista pela primeira vez”, afirmou Holopainen. “Alguns de nossos fãs são praticamente devotos de Tarja e nunca aceitarão o fato de continuarmos sem ela”, reiterou.

Por Cissa (1:20 PM)


Carta do Marco com relação à Tarja:
“A decisão de convidar a Tarja a se retirar de nossa banda foi a mais adequada para a situação. Embora as pessoas pensem que Tuomas foi quem decidiu tudo, a escolha foi mutua da banda, não poderíamos continuar com uma pessoa tão influenciável como ela mostrou ser, mudando da água para o vinho depois de seu casamento. Tarja já não mais valorizava o Nightwish. É impressionante a mudança que ela sofreu nos últimos dois anos, mal posso acreditar que aquela menina amável, gentil e humilde pode ter se transformado nesta pessoa tão egocêntrica e enojante dos dias atuais. Conheço Tarja desde a época da turnê do Oceanborn e realmente ela não era nem o reflexo de agora, embora eu já reparasse algumas atitudes dela que considerava ridículas, inclusive ela sabe exatamente o que eu pensava da situação vivida por ela na época , pois conversávamos muito sobre o assunto e eu a aconselhava , tudo isso de minha parte não era um falso sermão até por que todo mundo erra, mas no caso dela não estava somente prejudicando a si mesma, estava magoando profundamente pessoas de grande estima minha e dela ,ela nem era capaz de enxergar o mal que estava causando seguindo esses dois caminhos, devido ao seu egoísmo já evidente na época. Ao contrário do que muitos acreditam Nightwish continua sem a presença de Tarja, que nem de longe foi a figura principal da banda, esse papel pertence ao Tuomas, que é um cara extremamente talentoso e dono de uma honestidade incomparável”

Seria Nicole Bogner??

"Dear Tarja,"

Those two words which started the biggest dramatic decision of Nightwish career herald the End of an Era, and the content of that open letter from Tuomas, Jukka, Emppu and Marco is now well known to all fans of Nightwish.
Now that the shock of Tarja Turunen being asked to leave the band to pursue her own classical singing career, fans all over the world are speculating and wondering who will be the female singer that will don the power than any Nightwish member wield.

We at Oceansouls of America are advancing the theory of Nicole Bogner, ex-vocalist of Visions of Atlantis, as the possible replacement of Tarja Turunen.

For those not familiar with her amazing talent and work for Visions of Atlantis, we would urge you to download the audio sample and the video of the song available at:

http://www.visionsofatlantis.com/english/download.htm

Give it a listen.

On the respected metal website Metal Storm, the reviewer known as Malcolm in his review of Vision of Atlantis' Cast Away album stated that "Nicole’s voice is so freaky close to what Tarja’s voice used to be, when she sung Operatic; it’s from time to time very hard to hear any difference between Nicole and early Tarja."

Give the song available for download another listen. Watch the video now. If you have the albums of Visions of Atlantis, give it a listen, and especially the following tracks: Send me a Light, Cast Away, The quest, Lost, Lovebearing Storm, Seduced Like Magic and admire how wonderful that alto voice would be with Tuomas' powerful lyrics and the combined music of Nightwish supporting it.

To come back to the open letter that announced the break of Tarja from Nightwish, We will bring to attention the following points, and show why Nicole Bogner would be the best fit inside the Nightwish spirit.


"We were never bothered by the fact that you didn`t participate in writing/arranging songs, you never in 9 years came to rehearse the songs with us before going to the studio. Not the fact that while on tour you always wanted to fly, separately from us with your husband. Not the fact that you are an undisputable front image of the band.
We accepted and felt ok about everything except greed, underestimating the fans, and breaking promises. It was agreed by the five of us that Nightwish would be the priority in everything that we do during 2004-2005. Still so many things were more important to you. The ultimate example being the already sold-out show in Oslo, which you wanted to cancel because you needed to rehearse for your solo concerts, meet frieds and go to the movies. Those were the words Marcelo used in an e-mail explaining the cancellation. This being just one example of so many. I couldn`t think of a worse way of being selfish and dismissing our fans.
Nightwish is a way of life and a job with many obligations. To each other and to the fans. With you we can`t take care of those duties anymore."

Nicole Bogner has gone on record numerous times stating that "Nightwish are close friends of ours and we have played with them before."



This statement of friendship with Nightwish from Nicole, coupled with the fact that Visions of Atlantis was mentioned in the Century Child booklet defines a strong link between the members of VoA and the members of Nightwish.

Century Child Booklet: "Thanks: (...) Edenbridge, Visions Of Atlantis (...)

Tuomas has stated that Nightwish is an emotion, and that without a strong sense of friendship it would not exist. Replacing Tarja Turunen by someone close to all the bandmembers would make sense for the sensitive soul that is Tuomas Holopainen?

On touring, Nicole in an interview with Soundcheck Music Reviews and said that "We have experienced much success with our concerts in each country. The only problem was the bad virus we had on board [the tour bus] and everyone got sick. For me and Simone [Simons, Epica's vocalist] it was very hard to keep our voices intact. But we still had lots of fun!"

http://www.soundchecks.co.uk/articles/nicbogner.html

Obviously in the above quote, Tuomas has stated that touring and being with their fans is part of the Nightwish way of life, and picking someone who loves touring and meeting fans from all around the world makes her more attractive in our eyes to replace Tarja Turunen.

Then comes the recent words from Tarja Turunen on YLE and her comment about Tuomas.

"Nightwish WILL continue their heavy music career in future too, and with a female vocalist. Tuomas comments that he doesnt want to reveal the name of new vocalist yet. But he says he has composed already few new songs for the next album. There will be a mix of some new and old Nightwish."

http://www.yle.fi/uutiset/vasen/id19667.html

Tuomas has had to think about this for a long time, because arranging lyrics have to be done for a particular person, and he obviously wrote them with someone in mind, and there's where Nicole Bogner comes in.

On the Visions of Atlantis website the latest news headline dating from October 10th, less than two weeks before Tarja Turunen was asked to leave comes this posting:

"Nicole Bogner is to leave the band with immediate effect. Due to the changes in her personal and professional life, Nicole Bogner & Visions of Atlantis have decided to go separate ways from now on. The split with the female singer happened in friendship, and VoA want to thank Nicole for everthing she has done with and for the band."

http://www.visionsofatlantis.com

Changes in her professional life, and she happens to leave in friendly terms with the band. Seeing that Visions of Atlantis are good friends of Tuomas, it would not be far fetched to think that Tuomas had come to them and asked if it would be okay if he offered Nicole the female vocalist spot for Nightwish. Being friends and themselves fans of Nightwish's music, giving one of their own a chance to be a part of something that big and wonderful could only gather one answer, a powerful YES from everyone in Visions of Atlantis.

We will see soon who the remaining members of Nightwish announces as the replacement, but here's one thought thrown out to the fans, Nicole Bogner.


Here are just some thoughts from our members on the possible replacement:

Fulorian: Nicole Bogner amicably parted ways with Visions of Atlantis just 2 weeks ago. Coincidence? Or pre-arranged for her to take Tarja Turunen's spot? We know VoA has been very good friends with Nightwish for at least 3 years (they're even credited in Century Child), and she has a fairly similar vocal style, with an even more distinct voice.

Nyghtfall: I never even heard of VoA until now. After watching the video for Lost, I'm thinking Nicole would go very well with Nightwish. Very, very well indeed. She looks very personable, seems to have great stage presence, and I can very easily hear her even performing Nightwish classics.

Cloud: Nicole, ex-Visions Of Atlantis. She's perfect.

StormBird: Man, that is a fantastic idea. I was recently expressing at another forum my huge disappointment at her leaving VOA. Yes, she would be the perfect choice.

O que a Tarja respondeu...

------------------------------------------------------

Since last Sunday morning, I have been asked to express my position by magazines, newspapers, radio and TV stations, fan clubs and fans from Finland and from all over the world. So many in total that it is physically impossible for me to find the time to reply to them all individually. Hence I decided to put down a couple of words in this text to let my fans, family and friends and the public know how I feel after the recent events.

This is a moment of grief and pain and I find it very hard to speak.

At the moment I am in Argentina. I hope you can understand that after this shocking life change comparable to a divorce, I didn’t want to stay alone at home in Finland. My husband had booked his tickets to Argentina many months ago and I decided to travel with him at the last minute.

But the fact that I am in Argentina and the long distance should of course not be an excuse not to comment on the situation.

Last Friday 21st of October was a day the whole band had been waiting for a long time.

Practice started early in the morning. I was very sick and nervous because of the fact that I was not even able to sing during the rehearsals.

Also nervous because the concert programme was going to be longer than usual for a Nightwish concert. Furthermore we were going to have a special guest to perform with us, more wardrobe changes for myself than usual and for the first time big screens and bigger production on stage.

Not to forget that the concert was going to be recorded and filmed.

The five of us had finally made it to play Hartwall Arena.

Even though every one of us knew in advance that the concert was sold out, finally on stage, we saw that screaming, applauding and standing people took every seat. The feeling was unbelievable.

I will never forget how amazing it was to experience the Finnish audience’s gorgeous reception.

When the concert was over, I cried of happiness on stage. Happy tears because I was able to do my best as always even though I was sick. Happy tears because our long tour got the greatest possible ending and happy tears because of the best recognition an artist can get: applause and smiling faces.

At that moment I didn’t know that I was going to cry again soon.

After the concert, the guys of the band invited me backstage to join them and asked me to hug altogether. This felt strange as it was the same kind of hug we traditionally came together for before every concert. That tradition remained between us, even though the tension and increasing pressure already existed since a long period of time.

The immediate feeling in me was to thank them, which I did loudly but without any reply.

After this, they gave me a letter and asked me to read it the following day. The same letter that is now public.

I read it and was shocked.

I didn’t know what to say and still at the moment that I am writing these lines, I don’t.

I sense great anger in that letter and I continue to have very confused feelings about it, but I don’t want to reply to this anger with an even greater anger. Private matters should never be taken to the public.

I know this moment we are going through is very sad for everybody, including the guys.

While there would have been so many different possibilities and ways to express what they wanted to tell me with the letter, I remain unable to understand the way they chose to handle this. I am sorry that the guys got me so wrong. I don’t recognize myself at all from the way they described me.


They mentioned mean things about me, but the fact that they involved Marcelo, my husband, crossed the line. He is the man I love, my friend and has been my biggest support over the last years.

We have been band mates for 9 years, experienced good times and not so good ones. I thought I knew them, but I was wrong.

Still everything that has happened is not enough to make them evil in my eyes.

Now comes a time to calm down and reflect upon all of this.

I need to put my feelings together again and I promise to come back to public soon.
I will announce a press conference where I will be talking about my future plans. This doesn’t mean that you should expect this conference to be an instrument to attack anybody. It won’t.

The wonderful music we created together won’t be touched by recent events.

Thanks a lot to all the people who are supporting me during these sad times. My family, friends, colleagues, and the great number of fans. I love you and I really feel I have not failed you.

----------------------------
We have another new article relating to the situation with Nightwish. Thanks so much to Raven from the forum, with help for the the translation.

Finnish band Nightwish has excluded vocalist Tarja Turunen for continous disagreements. The members of the band inform about this on their official site through an open letter.
In the letter written by keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen the decision is justified with Turunen's behavior. Holopainen accuses the face of the band from avarice, breaking the promises and underestinmating the fans.

We agreed that Nightwish would be the priorty for all until the end of 2005. Still many things passed it. For main example the concert in Oslo which should've been cancelled so you could train for Christmas concerts, meet your friends and go to movies, Holopainen writes.

According to Holopainen the members of Nightwish cannot give up with Nightwish because it's the way of life for them. The players see that they cannot continue collaboration with Turunen either.
Persons who don't talk to each other for a year, don't belog to the same band.
Turunen shocked from excluding.
Holopainen, who was interviewed by STT, says that the letter on the official site tells everything that is needed to know about Turunen's leaving.

In May is released a Nightwish book. There the reasond for this are put into in detail, told silent Holopainen on the phone.
Turunen informs to be very shocked about situation. She thinks the way things were told to her was sad and cruel. Turunen thinks that especially sad is how her husband was pulled into the excluding altercation.

Turunen says she will keep a press conference in November where she will tell her point of view.
About new singer will be told later

Tuomas Holopainen knows that Turunen's leaving is a shock to many Nightwish fans. Surely it is. I'm disappointed and sad myself. I don't hate Tarja. I tried toput that much fact to the letter that people would notice that someone else has done also something in this band, apart from Tarja, composer Holopainen says.

Nightwish will continue and continues with female vocalist. Operatic metal will play also in the future.
The identity of the new singer I don't want to comment on any way. It will be announced when it's time for that. I have already made compositions for the new album, there is mixed old and new Nightwish, Tuomas Holopainen defines.

Nightwish who mixes opera and heavy metal broke through internationally with album Once in July 2004. The band performed in the familiar line-up on the Friday night in Helsinki, at Hartwall Arena.

Andei lendo o site Nightwish France (nightwish.fr) e vi que há uma pessoa que tem um site da Tarja, estilo fan site, que ao saber da saída da Tarja, resolveu então; entrar emcontato com ela.

Vcs tirem a conclusão que quiserem, eu já tirei a minha.
Que venha a próxima era do Nightwish com outra cantora.

A resposta:

Dear Lily, Sylvera and Purity,

I don't have words to express my feelings at the moment. I am devastated. This thing happened in a way that I didn't have a slight chance to give my opinion about it. I got fired out of a band that represents the last 9 years of my life and I am very sad about it. It has been very cruel the way the band handled this in public. This doesn't change the fact that we were doing amazing music together, but I will never forget the fact that they didn't give me the chance to say good bye for the people as a Nightwish singer.

I love you and I really hope to see you soon in my concerts. Thank you very much for your kind words and support. I will never forget you.

Love,

Tarja

Eu demorei para acreditar. Li e reli inúmeras vezes. Foi anunciado no site oficial (nightwish.com) e com tristeza venho dizer que: Tarja Turunen não faz mais parte da banda. A banda dos sonhos. Nightwish.




Último show foi na Finlândia em Helsinki. Dia 21 de outubro, sexta feira. Será lançado um Dvd e um Cd, desse último show que levará o nome de "End of an era"
E certamente, foi.

É dificil mas, teremos que ser fortes. Nightwiah é muito mais que somente Tarja. Vai ser estranho, vai. Mas vamos ver agora o cd deles sem ela, ou com outra vocalista e ver o que vai dar. Vamos continuar adorando a banda e indo nos shows. Pq somos fãs incondicionais deles. E boa sorte para Tarja. Seja lá o que acontecer. Foi bom demais enquanto durou.


Carta de Tuomas para Tarja
-----------------

Dear Tarja,

It`s time to choose whether the story of Nightwish ends here or whether it will still continue an undetermined period of time. We`ve been working with this creation for 9 years and we are not ready to give up yet. Nightwish is a way of life, something to live for, and we`re certain we can`t let it go.

Equally certain is the fact that we cannot go on with you and Marcelo any longer. During the last year something sad happened, which I`ve been going over in my head every single day, morning and night. Your attitude and behavior don`t go with Nightwish anymore. There are characteristics I would never have believed to see in my old dear friend.
People who don`t talk with each other for a year do not belong in the same band.

We are involved in an industry where the business-side of things is a necessary evil and something to worry about all the time. We are also a band which has always done music from the heart, because of friendship and the music itself. The mental satisfaction should always be more important than money! Nightwish is a band, it`s an emotion.
To you, unfortunately, business, money, and things that have nothing to do with those emotions have become much more important. You feel that you have sacrificed yourself and your musical career for Nightwish, rather than thinking what it has given to you.
This attitude was clearly shown to me in the two things you said to me in an airplane in Toronto: ”I don`t need Nightwish anymore.” and ”Remember, Tuomas, that I could leave this band at any time, giving you only one day`s warning in advance”.
I can`t simply write any more songs for you to sing.

You have said yourself that you are merely a ”guest musician” in Nightwish. Now that visit ends and we will continue Nightwish with a new female vocalist.
We`re sure this is an equally big relief to you as it is for us. We have all been feeling bad long enough.

You told us that no matter what, the next Nightwish album will be your last one. However, the rest of us want to continue as long as the fire burns. So there`s no sense in doing that next album with you, either.
The four of us have been going over this situation countless times and we have realized that this is the thing we want to do in life. It´s all we can do. In December 2004, in Germany, you said that you will never tour again for more than two weeks at a time. You also said that we can forget about U.S. and Australia because the fees and the sizes of venues are too small.

In interviews I`ve mentioned that if Tarja leaves, that would be the end of the band. I understand that people will think this way. Nightwish is, however, a scenery of my soul and I`m not ready to let go because of one person. A person who wants to focus her creativity to somewhere else, a person whose values don`t match mine.

We were never bothered by the fact that you didn`t participate in writing/arranging songs, you never in 9 years came to rehearse the songs with us before going to the studio. Not the fact that while on tour you always wanted to fly, separately from us with your husband. Not the fact that you are an undisputable front image of the band.
We accepted and felt ok about everything except greed, underestimating the fans, and breaking promises. It was agreed by the five of us that Nightwish would be the priority in everything that we do during 2004-2005. Still so many things were more important to you. The ultimate example being the already sold-out show in Oslo, which you wanted to cancel because you needed to rehearse for your solo concerts, meet frieds and go to the movies. Those were the words Marcelo used in an e-mail explaining the cancellation. This being just one example of so many. I couldn`t think of a worse way of being selfish and dismissing our fans.

Nightwish is a way of life and a job with many obligations. To each other and to the fans. With you we can`t take care of those duties anymore.

Deep within we don`t know which one of you drove us to this point. Somehow Marcelo has changed you from the lovely girl you were into a diva, who doesn`t think or act the way she used to. You are too sure of your irreplaceableness and status.

It`s obvious that you blame your stress and misery on us four. And you think we don`t respect or listen to you. Belive us; We have always had the uppermost respect towards you as a wonderful vocalist and as a friend. And very often during the past couple of years the plans were made according to your decisions only. You were always the only one who wanted more money from the shows.
This ”compensation and more money from everything” –attitude is the fact that we are most disappointed of!

We wish that from now on you will listen to your heart instead of Marcelo. Cultural differences combined with greed, opportunism and love is a dangerous combination. Do not wither yourself.

This decision is not something we are especially proud of but you gave us no choice. The gap between us is too wide. And the decision is made by us four unanimously. We are beyond the point where things could be settled by talking.

All the best for your life and career,



Tuomas
