Is the new Linkin Park vocalist ACTUALLY good? - Live Performance Reaction & Analysis

[@therestingmitchface6241]

I’d imagine the voice cracks and losing her voice would be nerves. Stepping into a band and “filling in” for Chester would have anyone shitting their pants nervous

[@babbonatale276]

And let's not forget this is their first concert together. Most of the bands would have made a bunch of secret shows and a lot of concerts before a live streaming like this. And she still sounds great here, imagine after 50 shows

[@ProducerJames91]

I don't agree...I do believe a trained singer could functionally hit all the notes....but the level of fame is another battle, so I could see how "nerves" would be an issue.

[@ryucradle1416]

Also she recovered after that and got better with every song , which to me makes it even more clear it was nerves

[@teampb6255]

Man it’s refreshing to see someone else just digging this. To have your introduction as a new singer of one of the biggest bands in the world, in a live broadcasted show, in place of one of the most iconic vocalists in modern music… takes some serious balls. I think she killed it, I loved her delivery, it has a kind of grungey vibe to it which I’m here for. Excited for this new era and will be selling a kidney to get to the London show.

[@pandoratypography]

Scientology is incredibly dangerous and harmful towards members who are public about leaving. I totally get why she wouldn’t say anything about it other than in lyrics. Watching her get emotional during Waiting For the End made me even more emotional than I already was. So excited for the new era.

This! The emptiness machine’s lyrics are pretty much what you said.

[@zeelix5]

Exactly my thoughts, I feel bad for her

[@Tougebeat]

@@zeelix5 People need to give her time. You can’t expect anyone to step up on stage with LP for the first time and be perfect. She did a good job and we can clearly see she has potential. Even Chester himself wasn’t perfect all the time and he was in the band for like 20 years. I’d say we should just give her time and then judge her.

[@malcolmmorin]

I actually said this in a Reddit post, but I wanna post it here too: Total theory, don't take it too seriously. BUT... In Scientology, they also use the term "Clear" as a status for people who have "freed their mind" of what they believe is harmful effects, AKA free will. In other words, empty. Scientology is, at this point, a machine. The Emptiness Machine.

I can't even fathom the stress she was under at that time. For a first live performance with the band, I thought she did great. Even Chester had pretty bad days.

[@Maibuwolf]

I think crawling gave her a lot of confidence moving forward with the show. The fans cheered for her after she hit the opening and were singing along with her for the verse. These werent randoms either they were serious LP fans. Getting that immediate positive feedback from legit LP fans had to boost her confidence a bit.

[@antman8845]

Man she's a really great singer, like listen to her sing Lost, that was amazing, and she suits songs like In The End pretty well too, but i just feel like if they're going to keep performing the songs with the more intense screams and growls it's gonna be really hard for her. Wish them nothing but success though, genuinely.

[@edge4266]

In the interview with Zane Lowe they explain that Mike basically taught her how to scream about a year ago, as she practices and gets more comfortable I think she’ll be amazing

[@boko1410]

I didn't enjoy her screams that much but she will certainly improve. It sounded strained/forced to me. This rendition of 'Lost' gave me chills and brought a tear to my eye though. Just beautiful.

[@AVerySillySausage]

I missed that part of the setlist immediately, thought maybe she was just better at screaming so they were avoiding soft songs, but that proved she can definitely do it pretty effortlessly, so they probably stuck to heavier songs to pitch to fans that she can do it.

[@lensaero]

@@edge4266 Sorry but that's not what was said, Emily has been screaming for decades. MIke asked Emily to scream for Joe, and when Joe heard her scream he knew she was the one.

She was crying. Happiness. Mike said in an interview with KROQ in LA it was cuz she cried during Catalyst and Waiting for the End. Her voice didn’t fail. She didn’t lose it. She was overwhelmed with happiness. And she cried. We should all back off.

[@PModesto]

The voice didn't fail? So why does she sing it more softly now? Is to not get emotional and cry again? She can't handle it, and that's ok, she tried to be on Chester's Shoes but it's a fact that she can't.

[@johnwolfhooker4992]

As someone in the comments already said, Linkin Park was not a Chester solo project. I was literally listening to LP all day when I was a kid, I am 27 now. When I heard that such a talent with a voice that can't really be matched left us, I was thinking there is no way they can come back from this. I was reading comments like it could be Amy Lee or Lizzy Hale and I was like nope. I thought they were done. I was wrong. This is not Chester, but who the hell is? The second she got out on stage I felt like the first time I listened to Linkin Park. The performance, the new song, Emily. Everything is still Linkin Park. It's not Chester, but it is Linkin Park. There is that spark, that energy. Mike was constantly smiling. Maybe it's not for everyone. When it comes to me, it hit the spot. But even if it didn't, I would be happy watching them continue after that traumatic experience, even if it wasn't for me.

[@MrZhampi]

EXACTLY!

[@Maibuwolf]

She is exactly what they needed. She doesnt sound like chester. No one else was going to either. She does however sound like a linkin park vocalist. This is why it works. Getting a chester impersonator would have been a huge mistake. They needed someone that sounded like an LP singer while still being themselves. She delivers that.

I also love The Catalyst and let me tell you, it's even more special now to me, cos at this track she lost her voice a bit (two or 3 times) and that could have a huge mental impact on her, impacting even the next tracks, but she RECOVERED and delivered the "Lift me up" part so perfect, I actually got emotional lol

[@PhantomLantern2814]

You can really tell she was nervous at the start. I think right around Numb was when the nerves subsided and she got a bit more comfortable.

[@GustavoGplay]

She was incredibly emotional during this, which I don't blame her for. The recent live presentations have been much better, although it still feels like she's much more comfortable with the songs written for her (emptiness machine and heavy is the crown) than with Chester's songs. Still room for improvement, but she's awesome and deserves our support.

Thank you for giving such honest, positive and grounded takes on this topic. It's been really upsetting reading so many hateful comments online about her and her performances so far so it's really comforting to hear an optimistic perspective similar to my own, from one of the best KZbinrs in the heavy music space. The band really had this girl doing the HARDEST songs in regards to vocals that literally only Chester in the entire world could pull off perfectly 😅 she will just get better and better with every show and iron out the kinks as her voice becomes more used to the music and she grows in confidence. Bring on the new album!!!!

[@AyyFuji]

Reading into some of the lyrics, it’s possible that it’s her way of “distancing herself from scientology” without saying anything official, from Emptiness Machine obviously, because that’s not exactly the safest thing when leaving a cult. I’m willing to give her a chance, she’s said something without brushing it under the rug. But let’s give her some time, rather than bringing the pitchforks already

[@steevieg]

A Thousand Suns will always be my favorite LP album.

[@MyoticTesseract]

that highest note in waiting for the end is difficult and honestly i'm impressed she went for it. feel like maybe they could've rehearsed a bit more but considering how nervous you must be doing your first show in one of the biggest bands of all time, those few hiccups are relatively negligible she's able to hold 99% of the other notes she sings and something zane lowe pointed out was that she's not like most other metal vocalists who always have their cleans and their uncleans pretty separate in their vocal register, and you can especially hear that in how well she sings crawling and numb where her melodic vocals blend seamlessly with her fry

[@ArtDadDraws]

With her screams bottoming out, it's definitely breath management issues on her part. Which is totally understandable-it's hard to go from fry-singing to a fully supported scream if you whiff the breath timing. Emily killed it. Her clean vocals are beautiful and I'm very excited for the future of LP.

[@dilloncady35]

She crushed it, hands down. Keep in mind this is her first performance

[@simonwithanaccent]

For the "Scientology thing" haters, watch "The Emptiness Machine" and read the lyrics carefully. On the screams: I think she was very nervous/emotional during the concert, but I think she has a lot of room to improve. Also, one thing I don't see many people talk about is her cleans/her timbre, I just love it. That "Lost" mini cover was pretty cool.

For lack of a better term, it takes a lot of fucking balls to do what she’s doing and she did a great job for sure. Looking forward to seeing what they do with this album

[@SpawnerOFF]

About the scientology stuff, I interpret the song to be about it. The lines could be applied to a cult. The album is also called From Zero, so it could play with the themes of people´s past and them starting clean From Zero Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine The emptiness machine Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed : In a cult, the people who are in the higher position basically cut you open. They know about your life, they know where you live, where you work and shit but when you try to get out of it, in some occasions they can ofcourse even kill you or just do bad shit to you. Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be: Basically, they want you to be a believer in your made up shit. And when you do that, you isolate yourself from everyone and follow the rules, so you basically give yourself up to them. Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive: When you are a scientologist, you hope for the believe of human being an immortal being. But, ofcourse you never receive it in the end. Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine: You fall for the promise of the cult. The Emptiness Machine can easily be a metaphor for a cult. Basically a machine making people Empty from the inside just. Or overall its just a machine that is Empty. There is nothing real about the things they promise you, its just an empty machine giving you promises for something that isnt there. Not sure about the other lines, but I am sure some of them could also apply to the idea of it being about a cult. Already pulling me in, Already under my skin,And I know exactly how this ends. I am not sure, but it makes kinda sense I hope you read it, as this intepretation made me like her so far. Ofcourse if she is still in the cult why not make her career burn down immediately, but the lyrics feel like she got out of it, and thats what I believe in right now.

[@RaruGrado]

I had mixed feelings at first, but I liked her performance on Emptiness Machine. I think it sounded really good. Since she was involved in the creation process of the new song, it felt like it naturally suited her voice. On some of the older Linkin Park songs, I felt that something was missing in her performance, particularly soul and emotion, though other songs sounded really good. I also listened to the studio version of Emptiness Machine, and it naturally sounds like a Linkin Park song. I'm really excited for the new album because that's where she really has to perform and deliver. I believe there's a reason why the band chose her as the new lead vocalist, and I think the new album will prove that.
