Let's skip the fact that her name is pronounced "TAR-EE-yah", not "tar-jah", and it seems that very few people caught onto this until recently.
As all (or most of) you should probably know by now, she was the lead vocalist for Nightwish from their formation in '96 up through '05 (October 3rd is when the news she'd been fired hit I believe). Anyway, she was out, left to get her solo career moving. Anyway, there are some odd echoes of Ozzy here IMO; kicked out from a band in which you're pretty much the name people associate it with, and you start up a solo career of your own that gives you your own limelight. Anyway, I don't quite think Tarja's passed Nightwish in notoriety at this stage, but her first album (Winter Storm) is excellent.
So, who's followed her long enough to pick up her debut solo album?
