Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking trash on Tarja because she's out of Nightwish, this is simply something that never crossed my mind until recently. Tarja is an amazing vocalist, but upon listening to the new After Forever CD for the past few days I have come to the conclusion that Floor Jansen is the better singer.
Her opera-style is not as good as Tarja's. Tarjas owns in that department, but overall I think Floor is a much stronger, more emotional singer. And she can get mean, just listen to "Face The Demons" on the new album, she can belt it out with evil intent if necessary!
Basically I just think she's a better vocalist all around. Both are amazing in their own right, but Floor gets the nod, and I swear she would be a perfect fit for Nightwish! That would be amazing!
By the way, Remagine is fucking awesome!!
