beauty and the beast
n.— «The first thing you will immediately notice about Nightwish is the lovely, high, sweet and operatic voice of Tarja Turunen. In a way, it is this that sets Nightwish apart from other bands, though more and more progressive/power metal bands are featuring female vocalists, whether in the “beauty and the beast” mode or as sole vocalist.» —“Nightwish—Wishmaster” by Stephanie Sollow ProgressiveWorld.net Sept., 2003.
