Tarja Turunen/YMMV
- Fandom Rivalry: Tarja vs. "Anette!Nightwish". And, no, apparently you aren't allowed to like both of them.
- There is a small yet growing rivalry between Tarja fans and those of American band Evanescence. Evanescence singer Amy Lee Hartzler could very well be a younger sister of Tarja. However, most fans of one singer do not generally know of the other right away.
- Launcher of a Thousand Ships: The more common version is the Real Person Slash and/or Ho Yay version...
- Painful Rhyme: "Underneath", from What Lies Beneath:
 |
Even in my darkest times / overcome with worry |
 |
- Paranoia Fuel: "Lost Northern Star", from My Winter Storm.
- Yoko Oh No: Marcelo, her husband, is a male example, and Nightwish cites him as the reason they fired Tarja.
