I loved Tarja in Nightwish from the moment I heard her on "Angels Fall First" waaaay back in the beginning...and I still love her today. Her solo album is really quite incredible vocally, and even the lyrics are impressive. Sure, she has a ways to go before she becomes completely "great" at writing her own songs, but that's what song writers are for, is it not? I mean, she never wrote anything for Nightwish, that was all Tuomas (and the other guys musically) but her voice was still incredible. I don't think she's going to disappear anytime soon...someone who has that much talent will continue to find a way to share their gift with the world no matter what.
