Nearly ready!

On the last day of my visit to London, I had a very nice photo session with Paul Harries. I have been lucky to find him, because he really always makes me look ”pretty”.

We are making progress every day. Now all the orchestral songs are mixed. We worked again with Slamm Andrews, at Remote Control Studios. Slamm mixed my last record and it was a pleasure this time to see my ”movie” songs come alive with his guidance!

Jim Dooley came to say hi and to listen to the final touches for the song “If You Believe” that he produced with me.

It feels just unbelievable that after being in the process so long, almost 2 years, the album is getting ready. I have truly won my fears, lack of confidence and belief that I was not going to make it alone. Is great to have succeeded in what I wanted. It feels good I can tell.

At this moment I am working with Tim Palmer in Austin, Texas.

First time I am in Texas! It’s lovely here though, the city of Austin is full of live music everywhere and it’s warm, as I like it.

Tim is great, a very nice man to work with and having the understanding of the artistic needs that I have. He has an extended musical career and has forged tons of hits and great music.

We already mixed three songs including a guest solo from the guitar player of an amazing heavy metal band from Los Angeles. Today we are working on another song with an outstanding vocal group from Europe.

The last mixes will take place during this week and next time I’ll write to you is when I’ll have the complete album finished!!!!!!

With love, Tarja

Hello Everyone here and my dear Tarja of course :-)

I just want say~Tarja, you are a very special person and you means a lot to me in my life.
I saw you on stage-2009 and that was one of the best days in my life. I think you have probably much of happy days but as fan this is amazing feeling to see you very near.
I wish you could read my comment on this site but you’r sure very busy, but it would be nice if you write personal back to me.
Your new video is really beautiful and expressive and as i know-the whole album will be Nr.1

I wish you a very wonderful start on tour and many relaxing(You deserve it)

~Always with love and inspiration,
Kati from Germany~

Now I’ll just let little Rasheeda alone with her fascist ideas of “shut up if you don’t agree with me”, and I’ll talk about nicer things: Tarja :-)

So, my dear and beautiful idol, the one and only queen of metal, lovely Tarja: do I still have a little chance to see you live this year in my country or my hopes are in vain? :-( .
You know, a year without Tarja isn’t a complete year… HAHAHAHAHA!!! I MIIIIIIIISSSSSS YOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!! :-D I want to see you again live and sing along with you, specially the new songs which are so amazing!!
I always sing in your concerts Tarja, so people around always hate me… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I perfectly understand them: they want to hear you voice but instead of that they get a crazy night listening to my horrid screams :-P … but I can’t help it, I love your songs so much that I HAVE to sing, and I don’t care if I annoy people around me, I’m sure you like when when we (your fans) sing, so I’ll keep on doing it (unless you get tired of my screams as well… :-D ).
I wonder what do you think about us… (I hope you just omit the comments in which we argue… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! but I’ll try try to be nicer with other fans anyways, I promise).
Well, that’s it for now Tarja… have fun and keep being cute ;-)

Rasheeda Wilson:

I don’t care about you preferences Rasheeda, this is not the nazi community, so freedom of speech is perfectly allowed here.
I’m not interested in your personal tases, I mean: do you still love Tarja’s former band? fine, is not my busyness, but don’t come here to tell me what do you want me to do, because you’ll get nothing by doing it.
Sorry if I sound pissed but I’m honestly quite tired of you … HAHAHAHAHA!!! I mean: I’ve been reading some of your comments on MFF and you always act like a granny telling people what kind of things they shouldn’t say and blah, blah, blah … and, I’m sorry, but who do you think you are? you’re nobody’s mother to come here and say: “ok, is cool if everyone talks about Tarja’s ex band, but it’s only ok if you praise them, if you don’t like them, then shut up” …
This is TARJA’S BLOG, this isn’t “Oceansold” community, so we can say whatever we want as long as we respect Tarja, since she’s the main thing here, NOT her former band, get used to it.
But of course I rather speak about Tarja than to speak about that band… I mean: they’re so boring that I’d fall asleep after two minutes discussing such a lame topic :-D . I f you really think that we should “shut up” i we don’t like your precious keyboardist, then you are clearly in the wrong blog.

@Juan Pablo I’d perfer if you would be quiet. There are some people here who both enjoy Nightwish and Tarja Turunen, don’t be a troll and ruin it for them. Plus this has nothing to do with Nightwish. If Tarja Turunen wishes not to say anything about Nightwish then I don’t see how Tarja Turunen can’t do so themselves. I think it is very good of Tarja kept it private and didn’t speak ill of them- I mean it was very gracious. I love Nightwish and Toumas but I thought it was a bit extreme in letting a personal matter reach the fans like that. But how do I know how things went down? Its not my buisness and I wish you overall just shutup. Plus I heard Tarja actually enjoyed DPP herself- if she didn’t she could have said “No comment”.
