And up to that point especially Emily had no high quality coach or whatever she’s been doing stuff with her own band and, I mean the most impressive thing about it is probably her voice and singing skills. You can have an amazing voice and practice the skills of singing too but to pull that off constantly, she’s just crazy crazy talented. Obviously she’s been singing for 20 years too but there’s videos of her singing from like 3-4 years ago in basically an empty room and the quality of her singing in that vid is just absurdly high. I feel like only the very best artists sound live exactly like in the studio version and she’s 100% one of them

I understand this being a sore spot for Chester's family and some fans... But at the same time, it's kind of selfish to act as though Linkin Park was just about him. The band is more than one person, and they have a right to go on.

[@RWBYFan1998]

My thoughts exactly

[@MasonAveKid437]

And they were not founded by Chester. Mike is the glue and the catalyst of bringing the band together. Chester was phenomenal and is sorely missed, but they absolutely deserve to keep living and making new music with the Linkin Park name and a new singer. Choosing a girl was even a huge sign of respect and signaling “we are not replacing Chester, we just want to make a new chapter for the band”.

[@mistersturgeon8859]

Agree, it's time to move on. And i am having a goosebumps from new song and vocals
