She has a nice voice, for the most part, but it's just being stuffed into a style of music that it does not compliment (Thanks to Tuomas.). Her fluctuations belong in a softer, slower style, whereas a more stable, smooth voice would suit the melodic and fast nature of symphonic metal. When this is ignored, you end up with the chaotic mess of jumbled melodies and strained vocal lines that has come to be associated with new Nightwish.
