This band sucks, Tarja is not even remotely a fan of metal music and does not belong in a metal band.

That's bullshit. I agree that Tarja sucks, and I'd much rather hear Nightwish with a male vocalist or a much better female. However, as far as powermetal, the best vocalists to come out of the genre were NOT metal musicians. Michael Kiske from Helloween is into elvis and pop music. BOTH singers for Falconer came from musical theater. My favorite powermetal singer, Hansi, lists deep purple and Led Zeppelin as his two favorite bands on the Blind Guardian website. The new guy that does all the live singing for Savatage doesn't even like metal, he's into showtunes, and he's far better than the old guy, Zach Taylor, who came from a metal band.

The fact is, a lot of the most original sounds come from putting people with completely opposite influences into a room together to write. I can't help but think of the time my old band played with Slapshot, perhaps my favorite hardcore band of all time. Turned out the entire Sudden Death Overtime linup (Except Mark McKay) don't even listen to hardcore. They were all into poppy crap. Choke said his favorite band was Dinosaur Jr!
