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 talnet 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 seees 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 loook from then?
Tarja: I'll be some sriritual 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 <PPPP> =) 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)
