Regards from Sofia, Bulgaria!
So far so good. Everybody around is healthy and the road takes us further every day. Countries and environments are changing all the time. It is nice to see people having still fun and giving me smiles, even though it is obvious that all of us are already tired of traveling. Anyway, the general feeling is excellent and positive. I am enjoining every little details of this tour, since it’s the last one for my debut album and I’ll need to wait quite a long time for the next proper tour. Visiting Munich and Ingolstadt was a really positive experience. The old city of Ingolstadt is pretty with lots of clean, tiny streets and not that many people around. It seemed that audiences were enjoining those shows a lot and that Germans truly gave their love for us. It’s overwhelming to see the difference from where I started and where things are now after touring 2 years! Thank you Germany, we’ll meet soon again. After Germany we headed to Italy, Bologna. What a beautiful old town! Cameras were rolling on the off day when everybody got to go to the city and relax. Bologna would be a nice place to live…with its copper-red colored old buildings, towers and houses. And the dining is just delicious! The night of the show was fun. People came very far to see us as well and the show was a success. We keep on making some trouble for the local security, as you can see. One day everybody will understand that fans don’t eat artists! It has been a long time since I heard people screaming like the audience did in Croatia, Zagreb. Oh my God! It was very hard to hear the band at times I wondered many times during the show how on earth my band is hearing what they need to play, but somehow they managed very well and we were having a time of our life on stage. Great people! Wonderful acceptance. After Croatia, the loooooong journey to Istanbul waited for us. We were crossing 3 borders and needed to wait quite a while in all of them. It was not that nice to wake up in the middle of the night and go out to show your face for the passport control… several times. You just got to fall asleep, when you needed to wake up again and again Well; finally sometime around 05:00 in the morning we happily arrived to Istanbul. The show was originally going to happen in a different venue, but we heard that the venue had bankrupted and we were going to perform in a “rock-bar”. It was more than exciting experience, since for example the stage was so small that Mike’s drums were not fitting on it! Well, once again we managed somehow to go through the show and the audience was excellent. My first time in Turkey, I will never forget it. I got to do some sightseeing as well before the show, so now I know a bit more. It was not enough though. But, there is hope for the future. At least now I have something to write on my diary. It was so good to return to Athens. Had been two years since I’ve been there and it showed me that people had been waiting for my return. Heavens´ sake I almost burst into tears during the first song. That much the audience was screaming. There was only one thing bothering me during my performance and it was completely my own fault. I ate too late my dinner and when I was singing, the food started to rise up… I was truly suffering, but my crew told me that they didn’t hear nor saw anything strange in my performance. That’s amazing considering the mood I had during the whole show. Well, I learned my lesson and in the end, it was one of the best shows we did on this tour so far. Day after we performed in Thessalonica and some people from Athens followed us there. It was very nice to see people so excited! I want to thank Greece once again for waiting for me patiently. I hope you don’t need to wait too long for seeing me again in your beautiful country. We had a very big dose of Greek salad in this trip until then Tonight, Bulgarians are surrounding us. Big venue, lovely people, and lot of excitement in the air…I can already feel the fans outside. The show is to start in few hours…

Hey Tarja, I’m so happy you’re enjoying your tours so far. Thank so much for your concert in Munich it was simply awesome. I hope you liked the frogs I threw.:D Good luck for the last shows of this tour and I hope I’ll see you soon again in Munich.
Love, helen
October 12th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Hey Tarja, I loved your show in Munich! Can’t wait to see you again next year or so.
I hope you enjoy the last concerts and relax a while after them.
“One day everybody will understand that fans don’t eat artists!” – loved that sentence!!
Have fun tonight!
Love
Karina
October 12th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Wow, you had a really great time within the last shows.
It seems that the audience was “on fire”, as always. It is so exciting to hear such nice things about us, fans, from yourself.
Good luck tonight, unfortunately I didn’t manage to be there, but I’m looking forward for the reviews.
Can’t wait to see you again,
Silvia

You are amazing and we love you so much here in Greece.
Thank you for the amazing night….Its something I will remember for always
with love,

Hello Tarja! Nice to hear from you again!
I hope you’ll have time to rest soon! Although I can imagine that getting to see so many beautiful places in the world is worth the pain.
See you next week in London!

October 12th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Moika, my aurinko! =)
You, Mrs T., are guilty of leaving me deaf for 2 days after your concert! *shakes her head in disapproval*
Joking aside, the show in Zagreb was absolutely outstanding! The guys were magnificent; if you looked for them with a candle, you wouldn’t have found better ones! Congrats! Oh, and that acoustic set amongst the audience was…gah, I’m still speechless…
.. and Max almost poked me in the eye with the bow as I was standing right next to his left shoulder.
And we (me and my friends) were a kind of „Finnish patriots“, so to speak. We were wearing blue Suomi T-shirts I purchased in Kuopio or Helsinki (we had so much fun concerning those T-shirts; not for explaining it publicly, though, lol). I’m still re-living that concert…Hope to see ya again, soonish!
And you… I most humbly and respectfully bow to thee, Tarja. I’ve been fond of you for ages, and I must say, as the time and years of experience and schooling (your voice, of course) pass by, you’re breaching the barriers of every possible expectations, both mine and yours, I believe. Your voice is getting smoother and smoother, profoundlier. A world-class diva, who’ve become a myth…at the age of (only) 32… And I do know how much hard work, forgoing and not so peachy periods stand behind all this; but it’s all worth it, isn’t it!?
All in all, you’ve created a fairytale, combining 2 totally opposite „extremes“ – that wonderful voice of yours and music you play – into something that goes even beyond the magic; something that I truly felt and understood when I visited Suomi last winter. Quite an adventure, lots of impressions, pics, feelings… but I’ll leave them for some other time…
Anyways, thank you for letting us be a part of your fairytale!
Stay safe…

Hello, Tarja!
First, I hope and wish that Bulgarian show has gone with a great success!
You have had so many adventures this time in your tour, in Turkey – for example, where there were so amazing change to ROCK BAR
I could imagine, how angry you was!;) But of course you managed, and this is most important.
How are you going to get to England- by air or by train through the sea?

Hi Tarja!!!!
Greetings from Zagreb, Croatia. You are awsome, you made fantastic show, the atmosphere was amazing. I had a high opinion about you and your vocal abilities but now is even higher. I’m glad you liked us during the concert. Croatia is small but Croats have big heart and you’ll always have a special place in it. Come again and I wish you all the best on the tour.
Loves and kisses from Zagreb
October 12th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
Hello dear Tarja,
You have a great job, visiting countries with an anciënt history and other positive things but ……….will you please visit my country, the Netherlands, more often for a concert.
Of course it have to fit in the tour-schedule for all of you!!!
And my friends, Juan (Argentina) & Gaby (Venezuela), Jelena (Croatia), Anita (Russia), Lena (Russia), Ines (Portugal), Roula (Greece), Deena (Malaysia), Tzonki (Romania) and me are really looking forward to your new album, i assume you and the band are doing the same.
“My Winter Storm” was already great, so our expectations are very high for “What Lies Beneath”.
I wiish you and the band all the best with the recording for “What Lies Beneath” and i hope to see you LIVE again!!
The last time that i saw you live was with Nightwish in 2005 at Lowlands!!
But thankfully that is history now, you were always in my heart and that will never change, despite “What Lies Beneath”….
See you in the future Tarja.
October 12th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Terve Tarja!
Thank you for an amazing night (the night of my life) in Zagreb, Croatia. I am so pleased you liked it. Hopefully you’ll come back really soon. xxxxxxxxxxxxx
October 12th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Dear Tarja!
Thank you again so much for coming to Croatia.
You were absolutely wonderful! Thank you for the autograph…2 bad you couldn`t take pictures with the fans
Oh, maybe next time when you come back in Zagreb
Much love

Hii dear Tarja =D
So great to hear from you once again, with so much text and photos ;p
It must be amazing to be able to see so many different countries and cultures in such a short time!
Its good to read that you had such a good time.
And honestly I must thank you very much for making my day so much brighter.
I just came back from the hospital…again, and it was not so nice =’(
But reading your words always makes me feel better =)
I CANNOT wait to see you this upcoming Sunday in Wieze ^^
I am so excited!!, have been counting the days ever since Elf Fantasy Fair ;p
I hope the tour will keep on going so great, and I hope you and the rest can find some decent sleep in the mean time!
All my love, Lisa

The next day in Thessaloniki was even greater!You sang among us,u said Nemo instead of Over the Hills..and later u gave us autographs and took photos!I just wish I knew if you liked the fan club’s gift.But the moment I were there I forgot everything I wanted to ask!
Now I wish I had the money to be in Sofia tonight.
You are a Goddess!You are the best!I had the best time of my life this weekend!The show in Athens was magnificent!We didn’t notice u were suffering!That’s terrible!

Hi Tarja.
Good pictures from Hagia Sophia (Istanbul – the most beautiful church in the whole world) and Acropolis of Athens!
These places are beautiful and I hope to visit them one day, too.
And I totally agree with you when you say that fans don’t eat their idols. Especially your fans! We respect you and you know it, if the opposite you would not make any show in the middle of the audience. Stupid producers ¬¬ Let Tarja sing wherever she wants!
Enjoy the end of the last tour with My Winter Storm and thanks for keeping us informed about what you’re doing. Not all artists have such a good relationship with the fans as you have. Thank you again for this!
Metal Female Voices Festival is coming. Will you sing with another band or another singer (except Doro – we already know about her)?
I’m just curious =p
Many kisses from Porto Alegre (Brazil)!
We’re still waiting for you back as you promised =D
October 12th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Hello, Tarja!
It’s very good to read your blog, I’ve never read it till now and it did put a smile on my face seeing as I’ve been working all day with my horrible coursework recently.
And some of the photos did make me giggle!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your tour, and I can’t wait to see you next week in England! I’m so very excited! Only downside is: It’s on a monday! XD School awaits (especially as I’m in my last year x3) I’m going to be walking into my child dev class like: x_x “ergh no work plz. sleeping.” XDD
Have fun!
October 12th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
hi Tarja!!
I’m so happy to read that you had fun in Italy!
If you want, you can move here!! We would be sooo honoured!!
I loved your show in Bologna and I can’t wait for seeing you once again! You were just incredible.
And I totally agree with you about the securoty men. We didn’t want to eat you! We love you, how could we hurt you?
Hoping to see you soon!

Moikka Tarja!
It’s always cheery to hier news from your tour though I can’t be there myself. I wish I could but it’s not possible.
Ihope I can meet you personally then. It would be my first time.
I’m very very sorry that you can’t do your MWS shows in Finland but it doesn’t matter much because I will see you soon in Tampere. And that makes me very happy and ecstatic!!
Have a nice time and take care!
Nähdään ♥

Terve Tarja!
Heading towards your show last night in Thessaloniki,I didn’t know what to expect.I mean,to be honest,I haven’t really followed your career after Nightwish.I knew some songs,but that was it.And my feelings after the show…?It was one of the BEST lives I’ve seen in a venue,and believe me I’ve seen a lot!Your voice is like a GIFT from the God…So clear,so crystal,so perfect…I promised my self that from now on I WILL follow your career intensively!I really hope and wish to see u again in Thessaloniki next year.Good luck with your plans and don’t forget us…:)
Thank u very much for the memories…

the tour is coming to an end, and you had some funny moments:
this phrase made my day, thank you!
“One day everybody will understand that fans don’t eat artists! ”
also it’s sad you had to “suffer” in one of your best concerts :’(
October 13th, 2009 at 5:37 am
hello! dear tarjita

todo simpre te queda tan perfecto.

October 13th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Terve rakas Tarja!
Well, your’re so right. – It is definitely not the intention of a fan to eat their favourite artist. How could one listen to her after that any more?! An artist on stage is definitely better than an artist in a stomach
Oh, I know this feeling to have eaten too much before a gig. Since it happened to me I only eat at noon my last stuff and then nothing more. It is really very damn unpleasant to have a full stomach on stage. But well, I only have gigs twice a month. If I had a gig every day like you do, I also needed to have supper -If one haven’t in this case one will be as thin as a match soon. And where to take the energy from for the performances?!
Wow, You’ve seen so many interesting places already- even that you now seem to be too full of impressions it will sure enrich your horizon
I wish you to see even more very beautiful places in the future! -And also to have great experiences- far beyond being eaten
– with your fans!
Good luck with your new album- and Germany is also looking forward to meet you!! The sooner the better!!
Best wishes,
rauha ja rakkaus,
your goose
October 13th, 2009 at 1:08 pm

October 13th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
¡¡Hola Tarja!!
A esta altura no tengo dudas en que lo que más me gusta de vos es que te mostrás tan humana, tan alcanzable, tan simple. A pesar de tu fama, tu talento, la cantidad de gente que ves día a día, etc, etc. Ojalá nunca pierdas esta cualidad.
Espero que te salga todo bien en tus conciertos, pero principalmente deseo que te vaya muy bien en tu vida.
Un beso grande.
October 13th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Thank you for the unforgettable evening in Sofia, its all I can say
October 13th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Thank you for the great show in Zagreb:)))) You were absolutely awesome, that was the best night of my life! I’m just sorry for not being near when you came to the audience…before that we were all screaming ‘we want more’ haha, we thought that you’re leaving and we couldn’t let that happen, could we?!
Believe…we enjoyed every sec of your beautiful voice. We want more!!! (haha)
Hope you and your bend will visit us again!
Love you a lot! Kisses
October 13th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Dobar vecher Tarja!
Sadly I couldn’t take a pic with you, but Oliver & Alex made it up for you 


I hope we’ll see you again on your next tour, which I’m anxious already about : ))
I am such a lucky girl to be able to talk to you backstage and to see you outside of “the lights” : )) For the second time I had the honor to work for your show and it was the most amazing experience ever! You are such a pretty, nice, always smiling and positive person, I can just sit there and listen to you speak :_)) I hope you remember all the bulgarian words I taught you
I am very happy that I had the chance to meet true Finns face-to-face … Made me feel part of the world … Your crew are very very nice n sweet people
Viltsu & Tommi rock my day really! And “FINLANDIA” is BETTER than “Smirnoff” tell him that!
Give my warmest hugs and regards to Oliver/Alex/Viltsu and everyone else
Be blessed and have a great time on the rest of the tour
Kiitos!

Hei!
Joku koetti syödä sinut siellä keikalla?! O_O Olet paras suomalainen artisti ikinä!!
Kuvauksista päätellen ihania paikkoja ja kivoja ihmisiä
Oispa kivaa nähdä joskus livenä jossain joku keikkasi. Mutta eipä sitä Oulua kauemmas taida olla mahdollisuuksia päästä
Ihan uteliaisuuttani kysyn onko Oulun suunnalle tulossa mitään enää koskaan? Olisi ihanaa päästä livenä näkemään kun nyt on joutunut tyytymään netissä oleviin videoihin (upeaa kuultavaa ja katsottavaa silti!!)… Toivottavasti jaksat edes lukea tän vaikket vastata jaksaisikaan/ehtisikään
Mutta jaksamista kaikkiin tuleviin esiintymisiin ja talven pimeyteen!
:)

TAAAAAARJAAAAAAAAA!!!!
HaHaHa, sorry for the “scream”, but I’ve been off the net for a week, and I’m so happy to see a new post in your lovely blog… XD
I’m also happy to read the comments from my amazing YouTube friends in here. You have to know that we’re creating the most insane fanclub you’ve ever had, we’re many, and we share info about you all days, and we also make fun out of a certain band called “Fartwish”… HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!! I know that was stupid, but I’m a little immature I guess… XD
We’re also very international: 80XxbelialxX08 (me-Argentina), 00omg000 (Jelena-Croatia), Twiekieman (Henry- The Netherlands), GbyOriordan (Gaby-Venezuela), Rasmusmaniac666 (Roula-Greece), and many othe great users…
Whatever, I’m not going to annoy you with the story of our crazyness…XP
As always, I wish you all the best, and I hope you end this wonderful “Winter Storm Era” in the most amazing way possible.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:27 am
See you very very soon Tarja (in 3 days in England).
I’m sooooooooooo happy to see you again.
Take care.
Many kisses from France.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Greetings from Bulgaria and thanks a lot for the amazing show!!! Can’t wait to read your point of view for the concert in Sofia. Hope to see you again soon!
October 16th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
HI TARJA
I must say that concert in Ljubljana was really AMAZING. Thank you very much for comming here in Slovenia. As you know the weather was really cold and I hope you didn’t become ill after show. The part of the concert when you were singing in the middle of the crowd was absolutely the best
. I was just hoping that your voice wouldn’t freeze
. It was very funny when you said that you brought the winter storm with you
I wish you all the best in your career and I’ m hoping to see you soon
)
You are the best.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Hi, Tarja! I’m from Bulgaria. I think the concert here was the best!!! I tried to come the privious year but i couldn’t. I’m so happy that this year i was a part of your show because it was amazing! i still can’t believe that it was real!
The only thing that i didn’t like were those 10 people with the passes. I know that the privious year many fans were allowed to see you and to took photos of/with you…I really, really wanted only to see you and to hug you!!!Many fans were outside and were waiting for you with many flowers and gifts…But the quards said: ” If we allow you to see her, you will tear her!”… I know that you and the boys were tired but…
Anyway… i just wanted to say that you are amazing and i’m waitting to see you again!Cuz you and i know that bulgarians are true fans and we all love you so much!!!!
October 16th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Hei Tarja!
It was great to see you here in Turkey. Your and your band’s performance was much more than awesome! I know the stage was so small
Gosh it must be so hard to move. But I want you to know, for us it’s nothing since you’re the one who’s on that stage!
I hope to see you again, maybe next year as you said that night
Take care, love you!
October 16th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Hi, Tarja!
First of all, I’m very very happy to see you in live.The concert was so excellent, I will never forget that night,that very beautiful remembrance.
We’re waiting to next concerts. Thanks for come to Turkey, give the concert and give smiles
You’re very lovely and your voice is so inexpressibly great!
Thanks, thanks again and again…
Loves,
Aslı
October 16th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
Hi Tarja, again

I forgot to mention one more thing. A new song that you performed, wisdom of the wind in Zagreb, touched me so much. The song is a dream of dreams, when I heard it and when I listen to it now I feel indescribable love for you and music that you sing, opera. So beautiful vocals on the song and you sing beautiful.You have the voice of an angel, and you woke up in my love for this kind of music and thank you showed me the right way. This has become my favorite song that you sing. I liked the very next verse: The sweetness of peace, more precious than gold. This song is the culmination of everything and congratulations on beautiful performance! Receive a lot of warm greetings from the Croatia and come to us quickly
LOT OF KISSES
MWAH MWAH
October 17th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Hello Tarja.
I just woke up after your Final Storm concert in Pardubice, where I came yesterday with my dad, sister and friends from Prague. I was falling asleep with your lovely voice singing your wonderful songs in my head. And that was the way I woke up as well.
I have never written to any of my favourite artists, becuse I’ve never believed they can ever read all of them. And even more impossible is to answer all that corenspondence. Well, this time, I have to do it anyway
.
I just need to tell you, how wonderful you and the others on stadge were and how we enjoyed it. You were really amazing and we had such a great time!! I simply love the way you perform your songs, the way you give all of yourself in it and the way you keep contact with your audience, which cannot do anything but love you. And you can believe me, that we do
.
Now I think about what you said- that you will sing for us in summer again (and again and again nad again..
). So I hope you have maybe chosen to attend Masters of Rock next year. We will be there waiting for you
.
Hugs and kisses
October 18th, 2009 at 3:14 am

The show in Sofia was extraordinarily great! There was some kind of magic going on between you and us. It was unforgettable! Hope to see you next year again. This time maybe you would make an official tour DVD with lots of moments from Bulgaria
October 18th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
That was maybe the best concert I’ve ever been to. Tarja, you’re sooo good live – singing, stage presence, dancing, interacting with the public – everything was so damn perfect. I was absolutely speachless afterwards ( I also lost my voce due to singing along and screaming
All I have to say is: You made us very very happy and I could only hope you felt some of it, too.
can’t wait to have the new album and definitely can’t wait to see you again

Hei Taape!
Ihana kuulla sinusta! Mukavaa kun kaikilla on hauskaa ja hommat pelittää
Kivoja kuvia, tuli ihan sellainen olo, että “voi kun pääsisi taas itsekin käymään Kreikassa!”
Joo, fanit eivät kai syö artisteja, mutta olethan silti varovainen
Toivoisin itsekin pääseväni jonain päivänä keikallesi, tähän mennessä siihen ei oletullut vielä mahdollisuutta, ja se on harmi
Mutta upeaa on kyllä levyjäkin kuunnella, What Lies Beneathia odotellessa…
Kaikkea hyvää, pitäkää hauskaa ja meidät fanit ajan tasalla!
Haleja! Tarja ROCKS!

It was a pleasure to follow you to so many places during the past few months!!!
Good luck with everything you’ll do in the future!
rauha ja rakkaus,
your goose
October 19th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Dear Tarja =D
Oh My God…
Yesterday at the MFVF was a dream, you were SO amazing!
I was there again, in the front row in the middle ;p
(the girl with the black hair, blue and grey blouse and brown eyes;p)
I think you even smiled at me one time ;p
I can’t believe I finally heard Oasis live, its one of my favorite songs, THANK YOU!!!!
I was singing (and screaming ;p) along with all the songs so loud that now I have no more voice left to speak, but it was so worth it.
You looked absolutely beautiful as always, and when you were on stage together with Doro I nearly died of happiness.
So great to hear The Seer live too (and also Walking with the Angels at Doro’s show).
Once again you gave me a beautiful memory and a night I will never forget, thank you for the happiness you bring.
I had been waiting for 4 hours to get in the front row, being pushed and elbowed by crazy people all the time but it was worth it for you!
I hope to see you again really really soon, I kinda got used to seeing you often ;p.
2 times within a month, at Arcen and Wieze (my mum is crazy and sweet that she drives so far for me to see you)
Yet again you proved that you are more than worth the ticket/drive/elbowing and waiting for so long.
I lovelovelovelovelove you!!!
Have a great show tonight in London, I hope they and you have a great time like we had yesterday.
You are amazing Tarja!
All my heart, Lisa

Terve Tarja!!
You are probably so tired at the moment,but I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your concert in Athens!!!I am so happy you had a good time ,although it’s a pity you were not feeling very well.Anyway,your voice was,as usually,magical,so we didn’t notice anything.
I was almost in front of you,singing and screaming all the time! I even burst into tears when you sang “if you believe”.
I am just so sorry I didn’t manage to go to Thessaloniki as well
You have the most amazing voice ever and your songs have such a deep meaning-and I am not being just a crazy fan right now.I mean it,like all of us do.
Come back to Greece,we love you so much!!!!!!!!!!

January 8th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
Hello Tarja,
whenever I can and I’m a more relaxed hear your music, su musica.
You have a unique beauty, I believe this fact now and so many say that.
Ma knows that writing with eyes can recognize with them too, every song I hear that yes, a deep look and that is, for some, feels when she sings and enchants.
‘m from Brazil I walk a thousand places by a passage from one state, I think Tocantins and the dunes, a village, an old man said, “ The fear is always FEET, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT GIVE IN TO FACE AGILITY WAYS, BUT THE MIND , MIND, since it indicates the ERAD TWO FORCES, BUT OUR HEART AND FULL BECAUSE HE LOVE”
KEEP LOVING WHAT YOU DO.
