стена текста и просто потрясающее интервью, практически полностью раскрывающее черты характера и натуру Анетт.
После его прочтения желания поубивать каждого, кто продолжит орать всякие непристойности и шлак в сторону Неттан, только прибавилось!

Interview with Anette Olzon (Sweden Rock Magazine 2011, #79)
If you would make a typographical summary of Anette Olzon it could look like this: ;=). In the 9 emails that were sent before our meeting she used the smiley 14 times. She laughs when she tells us that she has a headache because of being awake all night, taking care of her baby. When we ask her to describe her character with one word she choose ”positive”. - ”I'm one of those ”hahaha, let's go!” kind of persons”, she says. - ”It can almost become too much for some people. I've always had a positive look on life. But then, of course, I've had not-so-good periods too, but then it's always been my thing, ”let's go!” I think that you live a better life if you're like that. I'm not just gonna sit down and do nothing. I don't believe in victims and ”negativism”. I believe in positive thoughts.”
She greets us in her apartment in central Helsingborg. On the door you can see the name Olsson – the Z-spelling is only being used in more ”official/public” circumstances. Her boyfriend Johan Husgafvel, bassist of Pain, is taking care of their baby Nemo in the bedroom. Her 9 year old son Seth is at school. The 39 year old rock star is completely anonymous in Swedish media, but she's also the vocalist in Finland's proudest export when it comes to music. Since she officially was announced as the new vocalist of Nightwish in May 2007 she has performed in 36 countries. - ”When I went to the P3 Gold Awards 2010 I said to my manager: ”Oh my god, it's so scary to be here among all those famous artists!” And he just replied: Hey, you are more famous than all of them.” If you take into account how many albums we've sold and the venues we're playing, I am bigger than them, but it was really scary. I was on the same stage as Mustasch, to me they were bigger. Robyn walked around there and I think she's amazing, but she's not really that big in other countries. It's weird. Maybe it's because I didn't know how huge Nightwish were when I joined.”
Four years ago this interview would have been unlikely to happen at all. Then it wouldn't have included anything about a large world tour, about a collapse in Brazil, or Finnish paparazzi sneaking around outside her house. If it would've happened, it would've been about a 35 year old, regular mother from Påarp. She could have told us about how it is to pursue a dream - about trying to succeed with the AOR band Alyson Avenue, about ”being” Agnetha Fältskog in an Abba cover band, but she wouldn't have been able to tell us about how it is to reach that dream. If someone would have mentioned Nightwish she wouldn't know much about what it was. - ”I knew about the name, people were talking about it.” When she found out in the spring of 2006 that Tarja had been fired, she listened to a compilation album where ”Ever Dream” was included. She recorded it and sent it to the keyboardist and the leader Tuomas Holopainen. - ”I expected already from the beginning that I would get the job, I felt that it was my destiny. When I got the first response, when Tuomas was very excited, I was sure that I would get it. With great self-confidence I felt that way. But then, when I got the ”no”, I was thinking ”this doesn't seem right..”, and I was very sad.” The reason for the ”no” was because Anette had children. - ”I understand why Tuomas was worried, but I was disappointed. I'm no ”huge” feminist, but of course I thought ”it's just because I'm a woman.” Two of the guys in the band already had children. Finland hasn't got as far as Sweden when it comes to gender equity. I've done quite a lot of gender studies, so I wondered why this would be a problem. But they've apologized and they're regretting that they were thinking like that.” A couple of weeks later she tried again. She didn't believe in being negative and take no for an answer. She sent Tuomas a DVD where she was performing and after that the band members wanted to meet her. - ”If I hadn't sent that DVD I would never have got the job. When I met them it just ”clicked”. I could tell straight away that they liked me and I liked them. Even if I'm Swedish and they're Finns, we all come from the ”woods”, from small villages. Not everyone would've been able to get along with some guys from Karelen. Not everyone can sit by a camp fire and sleep in an uncomfortable bed, without electricity, as I did. Drink and get a bit drunk together. A city girl maybe wouldn't be able to handle all of that.
Anette Olzon was born on the 21st of June 1971 in Katrineholm. When she was two years old her parents divorced. She went with her mother and her two older siblings to live in Åstorp, east of Helsingborg. Six years later they moved to Hyllinge, within the same municipality, where her mother still lives. She spent the holidays together with her father in Högsjö. On the train between the cities she changed her accent. - ”I used to make up that dad was sailing on the seven seas, it was unusual with divorces at the time. My life was quite the same as many children live today, I had a stepmother and a stepfather, but it was a difficult time, I was ashamed because my dad wasn't there. And I had no mother at home most of the time either, she was a singer and she was working in an office. She worked all week long and sung at gigs in the weekends. I was alone most of the time. A ”key child”. I always used to make pasta with various spices, that was ”my” food. I had sponge cake for lunch.”
