I almost couldn't believe it when I read the words during class this morning. Anette... splitting up with Nightwish?! What?! So many thoughts going through my head... I can't believe she's gone. I think it had to do with her health though, since she was in the ER a few nights ago when they were in the western states and they found a cyst on her liver. I dunno, the press statement made by the band makes it sound like the two parties have separate agendas, but Anette made it sound like her health was taking over. And then I saw that comment she made about how she was angry about not being informed that they replaced her with Kamelot's female vocalists while she was in the ER. Well, the show must go on, and I commend Nightwish for finding replacements, but she really should have been notified. At the same time, I've heard Tuomas is a bitch to work with...I just can't believe it. Ever since I missed them playing in Dallas five years ago, I made it my goal to see her and the band live one day. This was supposed to be it... I love Anette. She's practically been my idol everyday since I was a freshman in high school. I dyed my hair purple because it looked good on her. I took more consideration into my wardrobe because of her style and followed her looks as often as she would post them on her blog, which she has now ceased writing in. I can't even sing, but you know what? She inspired me to try. She had such a good heart and always worked hard to overcome the challenge of being Tarja's replacement. She always preached kindness to others and respect for nature and the world we live in. She is the most beautiful person inside and out that I know, and I'm so deeply crushed to face the fact that she's not a part of Nightwish anymore. The rest of the day will be nothing but Dark Passion Play, Imaginaerum, and the few songs I have of her singing Tarja songs.
