No, those are the people who appreciate a good vocalist. Anette just sounds like Donald Duck on helium.

Absolutely ADORE Nightwish, mostly the old Nightwish, when they still had Tarja. She has such a beautiful voice. In my opinion, Anette doesn't have the vocal quality that gave the band its signature sound. Tarja has such a rich, full sound, and you can tell it's not just good training but also real talent and passion in her voice. I think Anette just makes them seem closer to popular hard rock instead of the fantasy air they're known for. But they are my favorite band and I will love them forever.

Not heard a single thing by them. Is it similar to Lacuna Coil and Evanescense?

Some people say they are similar to Lacuna Coil and Evanescence, but that is actually not true. They are an example of popular eurometal with a lot of power metal moments. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I, myself, prefer Evanescence, but absolutely dislike Lacuna Coil

Now that I think of it, I think my favorite Nightwish song is "The Pharaoh Sails to Orion." I love the mix of growling metal vocals and rich, operatic soprano.

Anette is just as good a vocalist as others in the genre. Even better than some of them. I think she's worlds ahead of Within Temptation's singer.

I think it's stupid to hate on Anette just because she isn't an opera trained singer. Anyone who thought they'd get a Tarja clone is an idiot

They are overly operatic with everything they do, so if you don't like that or any theatrics in music then give them a miss. I like them, I also prefer Annette solely because she fits the direction they're taking. It's not always going to be about the technique of the vocals, sometimes you just need a raw edge and I think Annette provides it better then someone that will be overbearing and over-the-top (at times).

I don't like Anette because I heard her live, and she doesn't even come near to Tarja or Sharon Den Adel from Within Temptation

Sharon Den Adel practically shrieks in some songs, at least Anette knows her limits

it all depends what you like in a vocal.
