In a perfect world, they'd put a live something-or-other together for this tour, with Floor and Anette both on vocals--obviously they have a professional videographer around somewhere, to give us that one video. (And apparently Tuomas has a teleporter? That's a seriously weird moment.)
Oh, yes, we need a DVD with both of them! I saw that funny teleporter comment, too. Really want to know what was going on there.
Imaginaerum is damn near perfect.
Agreed. Never going to get tired of that album. (As if anyone could get tired of anything Nightwish . . .)
Oh. Em. Gee. Floor's cover of "Alone" is freaking amazing! Just, wow. She could give Amy Lee a run for her money in the belting department.

Oh, I think she loads better than Amy Lee live--she strains way too much, almost never gets out of chest voice.
While we're on the subject though, I do have roughly $20 worth left on my Amazon gift cards to spend, and I'm thinking I need some Evanescence. I'm torn between either The Open Door or the self-titled one. Both meet my criteria of "must like at least three songs" that I set before buying an album, but I don't really want both right now--at least not more than the other things on the List. Which do you think is better?
You're right; live, poor Amy can't compare. She almost always looks and sounds exhausted. I always think of Amy's voice as I hear it recorded at its best.
Ow, that's a really tough choice. I love all Evanescence's albums equally. If I were to rate each song on each album on a scale of 1 to 5, I'd give The Open Door 6 5-star songs, and the self-titled album 3. So, if you go by sheer numbers, I'd say The Open Door is the better of the two. But on the other hand, Evanescence has "The Change," and that just might be my favorite song of all, if I had to choose one.
She almost always looks and sounds exhausted. I think it's because she jumps around so much. Gets you out of breath.
Hmm. Okay, cool. I started leaning toward The Open Door when I heard "Sweet Sacrifice," except for the fact that I love "My Heart Is Broken" so, so much. Ah, maybe I'll just see which one's cheaper. Thanks! :)
