This is really beautiful !! I'm SAD she left Flyleaf. Kristen and Lacey were both great !! I had never heard of Kristen May & her band Vedera. So i'm truly thankful for her time in the band. Now i have a new favorite musician to listen and learn to : ) Hopefully in the future her and Flyleaf can bond better to make things workout for some new music. I gotta say i'm disappointed in the Flyleaf's fan-base. That disrespect was sooo uncalled for. Either way now i'm a fan of THREE bands thanks to this. Lovely Indeed, peace.

The only reason people are saying they hate Kristen is only because she replaced flyleaf/Lacey! If she was to make her own band you guys would love her! Think about it! She has an amazing voice! You guys have no right to be upset because it was Lacey's choice ok???? If Lacey wasn't OK with it im sure it wouldn't have happened. I'm sure even Lacey loves her! So you guys need to quit being like this and think about it!

@IcyFlame08 жыл бұрын
+LassHaley Actually IMO the rest of the music is fine, it sounds similar to how flyleaf always has. The main problem is that her voice is vastly different from Lacey's and does not fit the rest of the band.
@BassOutcast5 жыл бұрын
Big and powerful? Lacey's a powerhouse, a combination of mellow and hard, and can go from very tender vocals to full time screamo if needed. No disrespect to Kristen, but she sounded too...pop?
@tracey91168 жыл бұрын
The Lacey vs Kristen has to stop. While I love Lacey's gritty, emotional vocals...I've also grown to love Kristen's melodies. As a longtime fan of Flyleaf, I'll always support the guys no matter who their lead vocalist is, but I've grown to like Kristen as their lead. Every musician deserves an artistic outlet/solo effort, and Kristen did a great job here.

I liked Kristen in Flyleaf. Although the lead singer does affect the way a band sounds but the singer isn't the whole band. Pat, Sameer, James, and Jared were still apart of the music when Lacey left and Kristen came. I find it amazing that Flyleaf has so much variety in all their music, from the old days (Passerby), to their trademark sound in their self-titled album, to their new sound in the album New Horizons, to the final but great stage with Kristen. I love that Flyleaf changed because it represents how life is; things will change and not always in the ways you wanted, but it was meant to be. 💚FLYLEAF💚 (P.S.- Thank you to whoever reads this whole comment. You're awesome)

Has the world gone stupid or just a few of the people in it! I'm really getting sick of people comparing Kristen to Lacey! I admit Lacey has given us many good times while she was with Flyleaf. Last time I checked Kristen is trying to fill really big shoes and she needs the same love and support the fans of Flyleaf that Lacey had and in many ways still have. She has beautiful voice and I don't except her to be another Lacey because that isn't fair to either one of them. I want to see or more so hear what new stuff Kristen can begin to Flyleaf. I hope she aim high and doesn't let all you haters begin her down. Lacey has told her story as part of Flyleaf and now it time for Kristen to tell her story as part Flyleaf. I wish nothing but the best for you Kristen!

I am a long term Flyleaf fan and of course Lacey was perfect because she 'was' Flyleaf (Fully Alive was probably my personal early favourite). It is however grossly unfair to compare Kirsten to her. As far as 'big shoes to fill', you don't don't go into an Olympic event as a professional athlete attempting to wear a fellow athletes footwear. As far as 'New Horizons' was concerned, Lacey although I adored her should not have recorded the album only to dump it on Kristen to tour with. This was at best setting her up for a fall. As an aside I would be interested to hear Lacey attempt to copy of 'The Wedding' from 'Between the Stars' think this would be an interesting role reversal !

It's time to get over Lacey leaving and appreciate the effort Kristen puts in. Just because you have a preference of Lacey does not give you a right to bash Kristen. It's Flyleaf and the commenter meant NO HARM, why are you guys so hostile? Seriously, get over it and appreciate music for what it is. Music is an emotional outlet. How do you think she would feel if she saw these comments, which by the way people comment all the time, after all the effort she has put in to make Flyleaf still possible? Terrible. So appreciate it.

I had high hopes for her, and have been very defensive about her, but she sounds the same in every song. She needs to learn that what makes a great album, is variety. Because, what's the point of even MAKING a whole album, if it feels like Deja Vu, when another song starts; like, if you've heard one song, you've heard them all?... I just came here from Lacey's album, and there are softer ballads, rock songs, hard rock songs, and even a song where there's no singing; just dialogue. Whereas, with Kristen's, if it wasn't for the pauses, I wouldn't know when one song stopped, and the other began.

This album plays it way too safe. Her songs with flyleaf really demonstrated all her voice can do...which is SO MUCH MORE than this offers. Seems she’s lacking confidence & flyleaf challenged her. I loved flyleaf from the start, but I loved her even more than Lacey & I love Lacey! Red Sam one of my all time favorite songs ever but now so is well of lies. It’s not that ones better than the other, they’re incomparable, they have 2 completely different sounds, it’s like comparing slayer to *NSYNC- you can like one better than the other, but it’s more about appreciating what they both bring than making a comparison that has no business being made. Here’s a thought for ya’s....what if BOTH of them rejoined the band & THEY BOTH. TOGETHER brought their talents to the band....I’d love to hear what that would sound like!! But if ms May is going her own way, I wish she’d continue to challenge herself, she’s selling herself & her fans short with this generic sound when her range is way beyond this with so much more to offer...this sound is an insult to her actual talent.

Kristen May sung for Flatlinedleaf. 🤣 Never should have ever happened. Flyleaf sold out. When you replace someone who's still alive you create a new name for yourself. Flyleaf sold out by replacing her with someone who was pretending to be Lacey Sturm for money. It didn't work out because they weren't being 100% genuine. Kristen May isn't Lacey Sturm. Kristen May is not Flyleaf. Kristen May is Kristen May. What the Flyleaf band did to Lacey Sturm was career suicide.
