Ex-NIGHTWISH Singer Performs At Helsingborg Arena Opening Ceremony: More Video Footage - Jan. 22, 2013
Former NIGHTWISH singer Anette Olzon performed two solo tracks — "Like A Show Inside My Head" and "Watching Me From Afar" — as well as a BEATLES medley at the opening gala for Sweden's Helsingborg Arena on November 30, 2012. Also appearing at the event were SOILWORK/THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA members Björn Strid and David Andersson (guitar).

Fan-filmed video footage of Olzon's performance can be seen below. Photos of the ceremony are available at this location.

Prior to the event, Anette stated: "When I was asked to perform in the opening gala, I got so happy and proud but also really sad when it clashed with mine and NIGHTWISH South American tour. Now when me and NIGHTWISH have gone separate ways, the window again opened and I am so happy to stand in the arena in front of all dear people from Helsingborg. And for the very first time I will perform my own solo songs that has never been performed before, so it is a very special evening for me in every way."

Helsingborg Arena started to be built in 2009 and is Helsingborg's new main arena for indoor sports, concerts, events, meetings and other events. The location and the arenas multi-functionality has opened for it to be a new meeting place for the cities citizens and incoming guests. The arena holds up to 5,500 people.

Ouch.

I'm a big fan ... But only of the Nightwish era. The production and songs were great back then, but this, I could only stomach some of it. Tarja solo is a lot better. Beatles songs? I couldn't hear them through the train wreck... Ok she is GOOD I'm just not into this here. But she is good.

See, this is where she belongs, singing songs written for her voice, rather than trying to shoehorn herself into Nightwish.

In some ways, I'm glad it's over for her. This woman endured an unbelieveable amount of shit from psychotic fans. One fan said she wanted to shoot Anette in the face, right in front of her son. And that got back to Anette. Shit, one broad on another board accused her of faking the pregnancy. I never saw Tim Owens or Blayze Bailey endure that kind of abuse. Just shows what chickenshits some people are. They will pick on a woman but not a man.

Annette sounds like warmed over Celine Dion.

Can anyone tell me if she cried and stormed off stage during the performance?

Did her manager/husband finish the show for her?

Hearing this feels like drowning in an ocean of cheese.
