Vocal Coach REACTS - Evanescence "Bring Me To Life"

[@sanoraray]

Her voice is what I would imagine I would hear walking through a haunted graveyard during a foggy full moon night and It would be coming from the edge of the dark woods. Love her.

[@Korradoar]

oooh, this is from the live dvd 'Anywhere But Home', and mind you, this song happens well into the second half of the set, and still she's got the energy for it. pretty awesome.

[@ordinaryviewer5493]

Going back to that comment about her leaning forward on the piano and how it can affect her voice, she purposely sings the beginning of the song like that. its very vulnerable, quiet, breathy at the start to match the piano intro and to give that haunting atmosphere. When the band comes in that’s when her voice opens up more to match the bands energy. She’s able to emote a lot in her music and we as listeners can feel what she’s singing-she’s that good.

[@begintozen4959]

Thank you I was just about to point that out

[@cjjackson2423]

I'm watching this just about to say that 😭😭😭

[@kimadkison4432]

She's fantastic... classically trained too. I've seen her a few times in concert, but love her albums.

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

I think the leaning forward is part of the building pressure for the story telling in the song. She gave me the chills again at this point in the song already. I bought a copy of this song on the apple store a decade ago. It’s masterful.

[@cydrych]

7:50 “don’t let me die here” is my favorite part of this particular performance.

[@GrotesqueSmurf]

I think it's the only performance of this song where she growls that line.. no? Haven't found another one. I think she does growls in one of the performances of Torniquet aswell.

[@cydrych]

@@GrotesqueSmurf it’s the only one I’ve heard as well.

[@swampharos]

I would love to see you react to My Immortal and the way she sings in that song. it's so beautiful.

[@marcusheap]

Me too

[@marcusheap]

Me too

[@wesmindo5729]

The start of the performance is just heavenly. So beautiful. 👏

[@kylieb4836]

There is something really special watching a reactionary video when it isn’t necessarily their favorite genre - just the appreciation of the instrument - this isn’t a style I’m usually drawn to either, though was one of my fav songs in school. - with its dark, edgy almost pleading lyrics and the mix of heavy metal it draws you in.

[@theresakenton995]

My life!!! This woman is amazing and saved my life with her music many many times. This song is so close to my heart and spent years practicing it!!

[@miguelromero9189]

You could see how she s still so talented. This was filmed back in 2004 and nowadays they spiced it up a bit during live performances. Evanescence is currently touring with KoRn to support their latest album , The Bitter Truth. It'd be so nice to see people react to it. I recommend its intro: Artifact/The Turn + Broken Pieces Shine (those two songs go together). They uploaded to their official KZbin channel their setlist for Novarock 2022 and you can see their growth as a band. She still got it

[@IamLegend256]

I was 9 when this song was released. I have always loved this song. It such a beautiful song. Nostalgia!

[@Guderidin]

It placed pretty high in the charts actually, one and five in the uk and us respectively

[@genny5309]

Amy Lee is incredible live. The music video is very well done and worth watching. I echo the suggestions to watch the music video for My Immortal.

[@elderford989]

100% absolutely phenomenal song!

[@brittanyosorio9235]

Definitely give my immortal a listen. It's a very beautiful song

[@marcusheap]

Stunning

[@LeNaInLoVe]

This song was my "GoTo" for checking how my voice was holding up. Amazing performance and vocal ability here. Impressive. #Evanescence #AmyLee #BringMeToLife

[@nikkikat1325]

Whoa! Your comment about her slouching and yet being able to release and sing reminds me of Maynard of Tool. I literally just made the comparison when you mentioned this

[@elderford989]

Yeah she leans forward on purpose. Watched an interview with her years back when she was talking about her piano and singing teachers discussing her posture.

[@spikegifted]

If I am not mistaken, this was taken from the live album "Anywhere but Home" which was a live recording of a concert at Le Zenith in Paris. What a performance!

[@gustavogomez3286]

Amy is awesome!!! more Evanescence please!

[@lovelymadness92]

I'd like to recommend Within Temptation (specifically Aquarius and Forgiven) She has an amazing soprano range!!

[@joen4296]

You should check out Halestorm feat. Amy Lee and Lizzy Hale doing "Break In"... it's pretty Killer!!

[@mrsW-]

I feel like Lizzy holds Amy back. Lizzy just doesn't have what it takes to stand up with Amy.

[@joen4296]

@@mrsW- ,i hear ya,Amy is @ a different Level...

[@WinteringHeart]

Yes! I love that so much. They compliment each other well, I feel. Amy has this ethereal, otherworldliness while Lzzy has a ferocity occasionally tempered by an almost reluctant tenderness. Love Break In so much.

[@Sawdoff2]

I second that 😉

[@Sawdoff2]

@@mrsW- Amy didn't want lead on this. She told Lzzy as much in a interview.

[@KarinaRomaoAntunes]

You got to check out the synthesis live performances, its amazing.

[@Mia-qf7fh]

Loved this reaction! You have to react more to Evanescence please 🥺

[@damoboom2853]

fun fact, Evanescence didnt like this version of the song and only agreed to the heavier parts due to their contract with the record label, since they dropped the record label "bring me to life" is an almost different song due to them keeping the rights and being able to do what they want with it

[@cameronk6205]

Please, I beg you . . . Evanescence - End of the Dream (Synthesis Live DVD)

[@billtroxell2148]

yeah, this is a great song, love Amy's voice an she's so pretty and nice.

[@JohnReall]

This is live in Paris 2004. It is on DVD I have the DVD.

[@RVINCITY]

Great reaction! My Immortal live next?

[@hannehammer4603]

Amy Lee is such an amazing singer and I really like this song! Thanks for your reaction! And I agree with Chris Wood: check out Dan Vasc's version, it is incredible!

[@chriswood6353]

Now do Dan Vasc's cover of this one. He absolutely smashes it... :)

[@catherinecanitz3609]

I second this request 100%!!!

[@loganchilds9750]

Absolutely. He does a fantastic job on this song.

[@LaQueso1991]

la mejor reaccion mi pez

[@Luana6350]

Beautiful voice and great song! 😍👍 Please react to Tommy Johansson.

[@Eternalsooth]

The end of the video cuts because it's transformed to another song called Tourniquet. You should definitely react to that song either.

[@xReZyyHD]

How come that this great reaction is not even listed :D Thats awesome! ... but we definitely need more slipknot / corey taylor on this channel ;-)

[@imaginarysoul3437]

React to EVANESCENCE'S 'The End of The Dream' LIVE 2022!! It will blow your mind.

[@MadameChristie]

Bring Me to Life was a huge mainstream hit off of the Daredevil soundtrack in 2003.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Amy Lee, Ben Moody and David Hodges. Amy is on piano and sings lead vocals. In the studio version, guest vocalist is Paul McCoy of 12 Stones. Great song of the 2000s! Best cover: Julie Anne San Jose. She is a friend of Morissette Amon. Strongly suggested next Evanescence video: My Immortal.

[@sheepy093]

Love your energy in your reactions! Can you react to Coheed and Cambria singing The Light and the glass live from the starland ballroom?

[@jaythebassnerd6037]

A year or so ago Amy Lee joined a japanese group called Wagakki Band for this song, nothing short of fantastic

[@jaythebassnerd6037]

Amy and Wagakki band also made an original song Sakura Rising, def worth checking out

[@Joanne_uk]

Amy purposefully leans over the piano to extenuate the “release” as she leans back!

[@alshurdom6917]

Amy Lee gives me goosebumps when she sings.

[@ronlowney4700]

😯 Please do Evanescence "My Immortal"? 🙏

[@BrendonChase_2015]

LOL "The Hasselhoff of the whole tone"..?! that one was both so funny and scary (picture wise) that I had to take a moment to collect my breath after that jump scare 😂 On to the reaction, will edit in some thoughts later (if they amount to something). Ok, I'm getting a fair amount of Sharon den Adel vibes (Within Temptation). Both bands are sometimes still described as "metal" bands, but to my ears this is already quite more mainstream rock. I've heard some American reactors mention the name of this singer when they first encountered Nightwish (with Floor). For reference, I can somewhat understand why they'd do that. But both from a compositional and most certainly from a vocalist's perspective though, I'd say that the comparison would be thoroughly unfounded. I've heard the song on the radio back in the day. Nice rock tune (don't like the guy chiming in), but a bit too 'poppy' for me.

[@AnthonyLaMastra]

She has a live acoustic version of their song “Call Me When You’re Sober” that I absolutely love. You should check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYGsYahohc96hLs

[@yukito2457]

Love this reactions of Evanescence. Please react more of Amy lee " Lost in paradise" or "Lacrymosa" Synthesis version with orquesta

[@leytonandrei]

Nice reaction to Evanescence. May I suggest something different: "Evanescence - Lacrymosa SYNTHESIS Live DVD version".

[@adhamsalama4336]

It's the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I absolutely adore it.

[@NoudlePipW]

I don't use this word but. He's 'adorkable'

[@rolandopadua8911]

Bro. how about My Immortal by Evanescence, please react also on that. It's my all time favorite. Thanks and God Bless ✌️

[@marcusheap]

It’s great

[@Korradoar]

omg, react to "Breathe No More" from the same live performance. its soo good.

[@begintozen4959]

You should listen to my immortal . .then you'll hear her voice

[@Dan-C-71]

They didn’t want to have the male part in this song but the record company forced it. They’ve re-recorded it without and don’t do that part live. Also check out “My Immortal”.

[@osgeld]

amy lee is bad ass, a close male equivalent of the same genre would be lincoln park

[@UnknownPerson-rr5nz]

Could you react to Sweet Sacrifice by Evanescence?

[@Erd_Geschoss]

"The Steinway people have asked me to specifically announce that this is a Baldwin piano."

[@audioslave3758]

yousl should follow this up with "My Immortal by Evanescense

[@marcusheap]

Definitely

[@marcusheap]

Definitely

[@Bunny99s]

There's an awesone accoustic session of Evanescence in a very small club in germany (Das kleinste Konzert der Welt == the smallest concert in the world). Her performance is outstanding: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZzMdINpbb10aac The setlist includes: 1 My Heart Is Broken 2 Lithium 3 Lost in Paradise 4 All That I'm Living For 5 The Change 6 Bring Me to Life I've seen it countless of times by now.

[@JahCureAgain]

classic😢

[@christophschmedes5975]

Amy Lee sing with John Mody so its from the Movie Deardevil

[@louiselorraine4581]

Hi, new subscriber... Was wondering if you had reacted to Susan Boyle, l think she is amazing and constantly takes my breathe away... I am an old chirper so it takes huge amounts to impress me these days... She does so with her voice and you my darling with your reactions that are considered and come from a complete understanding of the art... Wonderful, love from England xx

[@Danmc-li3pg]

Check out Dio. The last in line(1984 live) is a good one.

[@meatspear4205]

Ken You MUST react to BREAK In by Lizzy Hale and Amy Lee!! You won't be disappointed!

[@colingregory7464]

This song had a little help from the Daredevil soundtrack, for me this live version has the best Call and Response I have seen from a live version of this, I tend to like the studio version of songs that I like !

[@martinkasprzik5069]

hi! you need to react to Morissette - Gusto Ko Nang Bumitaw (live band performance) from june 5th. it‘s phenomenal, her performance is so powerful and intense it‘s just ridiculous. even if you don’t understand a word you can feel it all. also there is no singer on this planet who can sing that song in this way I think.

[@kidpoker007]

should have done the official video

[@dragyoutoyagrave]

please react the the wagakki band & amy lee’s live performance of bring me to life! it’s amazing!

[@rubysmolen5155]

suggestion Brian hull 35 voices sing bohemian rhapsody and nick pieta's cover of Adele's hello

[@michaelsmith2017]

Ken, in a few reactions you've seemed mystified on the production of live shows and questioned if it was a studio track overdubbed on concert footage like you can't comprehend the three part harmonies of Iron Maiden or the near perfection of Amy Lee's voice. I've seen Maiden twice: in the late 80's and in the 2010's and I can say they really are that good live. Others to check out are Nightwish and Halestorm. While not as technically proficient you should also check out Beth Hart.

[@billp5566]

When are you getting back to Voiceplay/ Missing your reaction/ analysis.

[@helpthehurtlondon]

Hey Ken, have you ever thought of doing a reaction video of Gordon Lightfoot’s song “The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald”?

[@haideralkabi4728]

You have 2 check out THE OPEN DOOR Full album Respect 2 U from iraq

[@mattpawlo9129]

The same song but in the cooper concert online

[@bigcatmueller]

Go check out the song “My Immortal “

[@johndoepker7126]

O hey...!

[@BooRadley13]

Amy is a siren

[@dezerte4gle284]

Is it just me or her vocals were doubled in the chorus and sometimes in the verse? I mean not even through processing but there was an actual second track with addition prerecorded vocals.

[@survivorbest4589]

This video is from their live dvd Anywhere But Home. The editing is pretty annoying I agree but its supposed to be a live video

[@Graniepanies]

Please check out recently released SOLO AUSTIN BROWN “BRING HIM HOME” from Les Miserables Please 🙏

[@OgreProgrammer]

I'm gonna paint a big "Baldwin" on my uh... whats a different type of piano? And send the picture to you. Just as soon as I get a piano. Probably never, as I don't really want one.

[@theroachden6195]

Amy is amazing in real life. The camera work here sucks though for this concert lol.

[@annamarieklups6499]

Do you or have you heard Hauser and Benedetta together?

[@annamarieklups6499]

Love this song!!!!!!

[@allanjk81]

Later live versions of this song that drop the unwanted and unneeded male vocal are a lot better. Amy's voice has only improved with time too.

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

That first album (2003) sold something like 27 million. They have three more albums (latest 2021), and they've just gotten better.

[@survivorbest4589]

Try 17🤣

[@ordinaryviewer5493]

Yeah, its actually around 17 mil-still impressive tho lol They have sold over 25 million albums (2003-2022) in total tho 👍🏻

[@curtislane1850]

I think it's much better to analyze after the video is done playing, instead of continously stopping to analyze. It kind of ruins your initial reaction. Otherwise I wouldn't call this a reaction. Thought I'd throw that out there. Thanks for your insight though.

[@Obi_Wan_Bon_Jovi]

Version with Wagakki Band is much much better

[@markuse3472]

I hate it very much that Rock music has taken the very back seat in popular music, no thanks to pop culture feebleness.

[@PK--ITA]

A band that made 1 good song, nothing more.

[@voodoochild7533]

Opinions are like buttholes. Everyone has one and most of them stink. 💩
