Tarja Turunen, the Finnish singer best known for getting the boot from her band, Nightwish, for acting too ‘big time,’ played a show last night here in New York with her new back-up band. She is currently touring the states in support of the re-release of her solo album, My Winter Storm. Based on the video above, it appears that she still performs Nightwish songs live.
Anyway, onto the real reason I wanted to post this…..Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to sound like a hater or anything. Tarja sings like an angel and her body is SLAMMIN’ but……doesn’t she kinda look like she fucking REEKS? I mean….she doesn’t appear particularly dirty or anything, and the armpits are shaven, but I somehow doubt that she’s left room in the band budget for Lady Speed Stick. I get a vibe. Is it just me? If you or anyone you know has ever caught a whiff of her, please pass along the information. I need to know.
Post-Tarja Nightwish just so happens to be playing in New York this Saturday, just three days later. What a coinkydink. For the record, Anette doesn’t really strike me as fresh & clean kinda gal either.
