Tarja Interview in a finnisch TV-show. And her Halloween concert - with the song "In for a kill"(Usuario TarjaSenpai en youtube)So finally I've got the translation for you:Journalist: Tarja has a talent for singing. Does it mean her mening of life is singing?... Can it really be that simple? Tarja: Hey J: Hi. there we are prepairing. Tarja: Yeah,there we are. J: you're a very good looking madame now Tarja: not yet! (I think this is what she said nect in that animation voice) Too much powder on the tip of my nose! J: What is the feeling now,well an hour before.. Tarja: amazing, really nice. Of course it's like that,you think about all the lyrics, go through them, and two world premiere songs is quite crazy! J: How about spiritual preparing? Tarja: it's important,very important. Finding that phycological balance nad calmness. It's a part of the whole thing on stage. J: your conditions have changed since beginning your solo career. Tarja: YES J: How has your life changed? Tarja: very much! I'm really happy today, I can decide what to do and with what people I work. J: you said that you don't remeber some of the time with Nightwish, because of the horrible rhythm sometimes back then Tarja: yeah, it was crazy. Sometimes I walk into the room (pre stage) and they say I've been here year 2002 and I go "Can't be true, I don't remember a thing!" It was horrible. It's dangerous to go with a flow automatically like that, many people has been through that. There are some dark moments. J: if we'll talk about the meaning of lige. Is singing yours? You indeed have the talent to sing. Tarja: a few days ago here in Tampere when performing, after that one woman came and said to me "Listen,Tarja,you're this singing angel!" (Laughing) It was an amazing comment from her about how she sees it. Well, some people have said the same. Somehow the meaning of the words just goes to people with singing, when the singing is true (not fake) and you feel the singer on the spiritual level. Cause singing is the work of the soul,before all, it's just that, soul work. J: I probably should leave you to calm down before.. Tarja: Okay, I'll pack my cosmetics for now.. J: I wish you a great gig. I'll be there somewhere.. Tarja: and scream loud! It's Halloween concert. =) J: OHO. (continues after the singing) J: oh, clicking of the heels is heard. Oh,thank you, It was fantastic. Tarja: Yeee (kissing) J: What's the feeling now? Tarja: well, it's just over 2 seconds ago, so it's hard to say yet. The orcestra played amazingly. This is probably the only thing that I'm good at,I'm conciously know that and I enjoy it sooo much! J: this heavy music requres all these dark clothes and gothic theme. Well, what is your relationship with death? Tarja: no,no death. I'm definitely not afraid. On the contrary. Someday it will come, it's coming, and then we'll see where we are after that. Then we'll be looking from somewhere there, above. =) J: where would you look from then? Tarja: I'll be some spiritual creature. I'll jump at someone, in someone. At some other singer in future. =) Tarja: I hope to live a long life and be healthy. I've written a lot of song to the upcoming album too "If I die tomorrow,I'll die alive". Meaning I've lived this life FULLY, and this is the only method, 'cause you never know when it is gonna the Death.. J: You have a great love you're talking about. The relationship is so importatnt to you. It feels sometimes that there wouldnt be any Tarja Turunen without Marcelo. What does the relationship means to you? Tarja: well, it's ABC of feeling good (like mentally), when your parthner is also your good friend, work partner and lover. Well, there's a package that many people wonder how does it all work? But in our relationship it just does! It's great happiness. Hell, I had to go for that man far away to find him! (laughing)

Candles and Christmas lights are creating a nice and warm atmosphere here, even though the temperature outside is rough -20° at the moment.We have seen a beautiful winter sun in these last days only for few hours per day, so the darkness has faded away. It has been just wonderful to watch the sunlight in the trees covered by snow.The Christmas tour has went really well so far and I have performed with Kalevi, Marzi and Markku already 6 successful Christmas concerts.Has been a real pleasure to make music together with these brilliant and supportive musicians.The churches have been so FULL! Somebody said I made history in Haapají¤rvi church few days ago, since there has never been such amount of people in their church before. The audience was sitting on the floor…unbelievable. I am honoured to be able to perform to such a wonderful audience in my home country still today.Between my own Christmas concerts, I took part of two charity concerts in Helsinki. The last of these concerts is going to be broadcasted by YLE TV 2 on 25th of December in Finland. It was a nice evening with other Finnish artists and for our pleasure; the President Tarja Halonen delighted us with Her presence.There is only 1 concert left to perform in Finland on this Finnish Xmas tour, but the tour won’t be over by then.I will fly to Moscow the day after Seiní¤joki concert to perform with an orchestra another kind of Christmas concert. The program of the concert will be … different I am very happy to return to Russia and to feel how cold it might be there…One more thing; on my only day off in the last weeks, I went to Petrax Studios in Hollola, Finland to record vocals for one new song.A song that you might hear pretty soon… it’s not for my album though, but a duet for one very famous and beloved band. Just to give you a clue…I will leave the announcement for the band to make. I love to keep secrets from you!See you next time in Seiní¤joki!With love, Tarja
