Nightwish Singer Comments on Michael Jackson
Band Photo: Nightwish (?)
Nightwish vocalist Anette Olzon has posted the following blog on Michael Jackson:
"I`ve spent my evening in front of the TV and followed the memorial of Michael Jackson. I cried over and over again when the wonderful speakers talked and the great singers performed. The hardest part of it all were when Michaels daughter spoke about her father and how great he had been as her father and that she loved him so. That was almost to tough to watch...
"I have often thought about why the most caring people die first...Why is it that the meanest and most egocentrical people live long and just torment the people around them with their bitterness and hate?
And the caring and warmest people that give and think about others and live with their heart unprotected and outside the body leave so soon?
"I do believe that God needs the good people for better purposes or maybe even to save them from the pain and sorrows they need to go through being hurt and tormented by the hating and mean people of this world. By being misunderstood and questioned in their deeds to try and help and nurture others. Tormented with others jealousy, envy and hate..
"It takes a big courage to try and change other people and their ways since most people are afraid of changes. It takes a lot of pain to live a life putting yourself out in front of the crowd, showing your own caring soul and heart. It takes lots of your own innocence and love to stand against the hardness of many peoples cruelness and misbelieves. It takes a lot of sacrifice and hard decisions to follow the believes that things can be healed, fixed and helped if you go against the dark and mean minds that try to hurt and take you down...
"Still there will be those good and caring people that will be born to try and make a difference and heal the world. No matter the pain they continue the path. They stribe and go against the hard words, the laughter of the mockers, the cruel and wicked actions against them. They may cry and suffer in the sacred and hidden place where noone sees but still they continue their caring path.
"But sometimes and way to often, it hurts so much that they need help to make it through the pain... and way to often their body and souls cant take the burden to long and need to get away from this hard place...
"But when many of the good people leave us, they prove that they did make a huge impact. Their legacy and deed will live in so many many peoples hearts and souls forever. Their words and trying to change things might not change the whole world, but make a deep impact on those who understood what they tried to do and will follow their paths and continue the hard work they started..."

No I don't give a sh** either Nihilist.
Richshill, the journalism has f***all to do with the picture. Some bands are given pictures and some of them were designated ages ago. There's alot of work to be done on this site so updating pictures is a small priority.

^^^ Haha, well put man. I'm sick of these overpaid entertainers being glorified, often only upon death, for whatever menial tasks (i.e. recorded a couple of "hits" and got rich) they accomplished in their lifetime. People aren't concerned about those who actually support society, such as educators, physicians, engineers, and servicemen/women; they're generally only concerned about whoever is on entertainment TV or on the front of their tabloids. So while I enjoy some of Nightwish's music, I have to disagree with this statement.

Why is all This MJ crap being spoken about on an underground METAL site. 4 F#$ks sake take this s$%t somewhere else. I come to this site to read about what's happening in the world of METAL. Not what peolple think of a Pop star. Get over it people. Metal Gods are also having thier last f@#k. Do you think all these so called tributes would be flowing for YOUR favourite Metal artist. I think not.
\m/ . . \m/ rock on muver fukers.

I agree with No1 Special (27). this pop sh** doesn't belong here. Did any pop sites ever even *acknowledge* when Dimebag died? or Miika Tenkula? or Chuck Schuldiner? So he died, well that sucks and I hope his family and friends make it through. But I come to metalunderground.com because I like metal and I am a metalhead and I listen to metal and if I gave a sh** about pop I'd go out and listen to what every bland teen girl listens to right now.
This is our metal that is your pop kthx.

JI feel alot of people are jealous because he was a black man that had what they couldn't get. It's like all the black stars that they try to set up. Jackson hasn't done anything in life that other white stars haven't done, remember this. The Lord created him like he did anyone else.
To give the world what they wanted, he just dogged hisself.
As far as Debbie, if she didn't want the children before, and sold them to Jackson, why should she want them now, for more money, not much of a mother. Also the mother that sold her son to Jackson for 20,ooo,ooo. What kind of mothers are these, unfit it should be by the USA. (think on it)

i'm sure ill get crucified for saying this but, MJ may have got what he deserved. you rape kids and your bound to get whats comin to ya. so what is he was a good dad to his own kids, he still molested others. and i agree with Supastan ^, i bet majority of people who are all sad now that he's died were cracking jokes about him while he was living. yes, he made his mark on the music industry, but he was a nasty person who was sick in the head, good riddance to bad people. he aint no hero

now... seriously..... ytf did... i mean... idk... i just don't understand y nightwish's singer saying ANYTHING about this issue AT ALL, and ytf was it recorded in the 1st place and then put here?? how is this news??? MJ died, as did billy mays (R.I.P.), and farrah fawcett too... and an age old piece of news, "the good die young while the wretched are forsaken to live long good and sometimes healthy lives". true story.

I feel more sad about Cliff Burton and Chuck Schuldiner than I'd ever care about MJ...ok, he was good for POP, but he never influenced me and the music I listen to, so I don't really feel that sad about it...people will die eventually and we have to learn that death isn't the worst thing that can happen to people...

I couldn't agree more w/the NIGTHWISH Singbird Vocalist Annette Olzen about the untimely death of Soul/Pop Icon Music Artist Michael Jackson: the good Hearted often times depart from this Earth much too soon. I am still very much in disbelief his passed on & deeply wish that all the pain/stress he was going through could of been remedy instead of all the harmful medicines that were given him. So, I hope that would be continuously looked into because he was mediacally overdose: and now all those Doctors are running scared. The heartwarming Tribute Memorial/that was Broadcast Worldwide on TV to MICHAEL JACKSON was deeply touching and my heart goes out to The legendary Jackson Family & the Jackson children/Michael kids their beautiful & obviously will be taken much lovin' care of by such a giant compassionate Family as The Jacksons. Much condolences healing embrace to each one of them. God Bless & thanks for sharing your heartfelt views, NIGHTWISH Annette Olzen your a Angelheart. Peace!
