The whole sound of the band has changed not just the vocalist. More of a pop sound than rock. Not bad but not something I would drown myself in. I think this is something my preteen daughter would love which is great because Lacey is more for an older audience I think. There isn't a lot out there that I feel comfortable allowing my daughter listening to. I'm so glad Lacey put out a solo album and love her books. Thanks Flyleaf for continuing to spread the message.

I love this! Kristen, you are doing a really great job. You have a great voice with outstanding control, and tons of passion! I could feel the energy of a full band just through this two piece setup. Also, it's gotta be hard taking over for a well respected artist, so thank you for being up for the challenge. I think as listeners, we should all try to listen with new ears, and not judge it by what flyleaf has been, but rather enjoy it for the great things that flyleaf has now.

hey, we can't compare Lacey and Kristen, they've got so much different voices and styles, they both fit with the band, Lacey because she was the origin and, oh, lord, she's the most amazing woman in the world and Kristen because she sings really well, it's such a TOTALLY different new style.

hey. I was a fan of Flyleaf and then I laid off of rock for a while and went to other genres and when I came back the lead singer was gone and this lady took her place.....Honestly yeah she isnt the same...she'll never be the same to the former lead singer because she is her own self and a completely new person....her voice is sooooo beautiful! Its a new beat to Flyleaf....and hey thats maybe what they wanted...SO it to me sounds nice and even though its not the same it sounds beautiful and it still doesnt damage the point of the lyrics....cuz thats what bands are for right?? the message...I hope you guys didnt forget that

She absolutely did amazing with All Around Me. People are complaining that it "doesn't feel the same as Lacey" , well of course it won't. One she is a different person, two if I'm not mistaken Lacey wrote this song. It came from her soul, a place that none will really know. Kristen has to try and come in and mimic that and does an amazing job. She is clearly a talented vocalist and brings her own to the song and still a beautiful song to listen to.

Those who still want to see Flyleaf and hear the songs they want with 75% of the same band members are glad it's still played. Some people want to stay in the past for nostalgic reasons, and that's fine, but other people progress and embrace change because the world will change and continue on without your permission

She's an awesome singer, and so was Lacey! I'm pleasantly surprised. Flyleaf doesn't need to change their name, because that name has notoriety. Lacey wasn't the whole band. That's insulting to the rest of the very talented musicians in the band to say they need to change their name. Bands change their sound and musicians out all the time. Let them do what they want. This is Flyleaf now... love it or hate it. There's no other option.

She has way more control over her voice than Lacey. Love Lacey and Kristen. Honestly, there are no "better" singers. They have different voices. Kristen has great control and her voice has an amazing lower register and she brings a new feel to the band. Lacey's voice was more in the higher register but her voice was not under as much control as Kristen's, but that's what made us love her so much, how different she was. For those ignoramuses who think just because you can hit high notes makes you a better singer, go do research. You can have the highest range in the world and not be able to control It. It's all about control and understanding what your limits are. All in all, I'm loving the feel and can't wait for the next album!

I don't mind her voice, but I still find it hard to think this is flyleaf. Love the new girl, and miss you so much Lacey! I find myself stuck in the past, and I don't try to hate, but I don't think I can consistently listen to this new voice in replace of the one I obsessed over for years, idolized and mimicked. But as a musician myself I appreciate the new girl coming and filling the empty space is with a nice voice. Although I do think the music style they both are best in is different, leaving this new girl adding her own twist and flair to Lacey's originals. I hope Lacey can appreciate what is happening to the band and how what she made can continue on and not die off like mine did. Beautiful work and worth seeing. Thank you.

People have to realize they aren't trying to imitate the old they are simply adding a different taste than what you're used too. I love her voice and I think it can add a new perspective on fly leaf. She puts herself in the music and isn't afraid, very impressive to do considering how much hate is just on one video. She's much more blunt and I think it could be a good thing for the message that flyleaf gives.

Flyleaf could've ended but it didn't. It's continuing thanks to Kristen. She had big shoes to fill and instead of trying to be Lacey she's being herself, which is different, but still quality. Saw them live, she's awesome. Real fans should appreciate that their music is continuing and the fan base is growing rather than not.

Well, this is the new Flyleaf. We can't change it. I'm going to respect this. Even though I probably won't even listen to their new stuff. Because I will make the choice not to disappoint myself looking for the same depth and feeling in Lacey's voice in Kristen. Kristen can sing, her voice is wonderful, but it will never be the same. And basically we just have to suck it up and deal with it. Lacey is with her son, we should be happy she's happy.

I love it, it's a personal voice and not something generic like much else you hear out there. Been a fan of Flyleaf and Lacey a long time. I think Kirsten is a great "replacement" much because she has her own "sound" and isn't just copying Lacey, or sound generic in any other way.

Ok so I've figured out the problem. Covers are supposed to be homages to the band, not a replica. The reason why everyone is so iffy about Kristen singing previous songs is because it sounds like a cover - which isn't all that bad - except for the fact that the band is still the same band. So while the band isn't doing a cover, Kristen is. Kristen is doing a cover of Lacey's vocals. She does reasonably well all things considered, but because the band is still called Flyleaf, it seems off. (Before anyone kills me, I'd like to point out that Flyleaf is the band and Lacey was the singer. Now Kristen is the singer. Lacey isn't 'Flyleaf', nor is Kristen, but the band as a whole makes up what we know as Flyleaf. Yes, its easier to replace a guitarist or a drummer, but vocals are just the same. Now I personally have mixed views as to why they kept the name Flyleaf but that's up to them.) Hopefully, by the time their next album comes out and Kristen has a chance to pour her heart into some songs to make them her own, then we can still expect the same passion radiate through the band. Lacey was and still is a role model to so many people because of the ways that she was so open about her story and that radiated through her music. Hopefully, and I speak to myself as well, we give Kristen that chance to speak to her fans and reach them in a way that Lacey was not able to. It's not wrong, just different.

But if flyleaf sounds changes to indi/pop and or not to there hard sounds,then,we got a problem..Karis have you even checked out any of kristens old band/vedera video's yet? If not .I would suggest you do...then you'll see why most of the fan's isnt to happy about kristen..... Lacey is back out singing now...Here's a killer Idea..I would love to see Lacey team up with Lori peters and Ben kasica....That would a killer lineup..

I personally think that Kristen was the wrong choice for a band like Flyleaf... but still flyleaf still has 4 other original members of the band who adore the hard sound, maybe this is a chance for Kristen to show her hard side...if not then they really should do some rethinking...again. And heck yes, I completely agree with your killer lineup idea. That would be amazing.

She cannot replace her but she did Lacey a huge honor by trying to keep her creation a reality, make more dreams and creations, and adding a different twist to her songs which is never a bad thing. As a musician it is honorable to have someone willing to try to step into the role of new lead singer, especially in such a band, and especially after ten years of everyone knowing the original singer. She isn't trying to replace her, she is trying to make a new. Even for me it was uncomfy at first to accept it, but now we must move on maturely and realize that we got ten years of Lacey and her work, and now we have someone else who is also an amazing artist trying to share her work and keep living on her dream. Just as Lacey is to this day. Dreams change, and become better.

I like. Am a big fan of Lacy also and clearly this would be an almost impossible transition for any band. But I think Flyleaf was smart to bring on Kristen. Hearing her in a radio studio w/ just a guitar; no effects... it's pretty spectacular in my opinion. I admit, however, I am biased. Her former band Vedera opened for a band I manage and I just have to say they were amazing people/musicians. She's so sweet and has a rare voice.

The new singer has her own personality, style, beliefs and voice. People who are just now getting into Flyleaf may love her. Old fans may also. I want to desperately, however I find I can't. I don't expect or want it to be the same as when Lacey was still the lead vocalist, but it sadly will forever lack the spark that made me and several other fans fall in love. Lacey saved us. Kristen is a good vocalist in her own way, but I think perhaps a different genre may suit her better. As for her "trying to be Lacey", wouldn't you feel a bit of pressure too? Reading all these comments would make her want to cry. She was given enormous shoes to fill. Maybe she is, maybe not. We'd never know unless we asked. All I know is that I desperately miss Lacey, and all her fans and I will love her music eternally.

She's has an AMAZING voice, don't get me wrong, but Flyleaf isn't the same without Lacey. Ugh, I miss her.

this is my opinion don't take it heart please: Kristen is an amazing singer, but I feel like she'd do much better in a band of her own, or sing more original songs then the older flyleaf songs that Lacey wrote with the band. This is only because I feel like the emotion behind the song isn't really there, if you understand what I mean, Lacey's voice is very delicate and the songs she sings all have that message of finding hope and this is because Lacey was the girl, who felt like absolutely nothing and then found hope and has risen and is now happy ( I know the full story its just really long and I didn't want to post it ) and when Kristen sings, I don't get that amount of emotion and power the Lacey did. And I know it's not really fair to compare the two because both of their singing styles are completely different, so take this with a grain of salt, I'm not saying I don't like flyleaf anymore because I still like them, they've just changed a lot.

Kristen definitely has talent, I think she is more formally trained in singing than Lacey, so she has some better technique. However, we all are so used to Lacey's unique voice that no one can really replace her. Kristen seems a little to pinchy on the high notes, and her voice isn't exactly fitted for Flyleaf's rock genre. Lacey is not only a rocker with her incredible screams, but she has an unparalleled passion in her singing. Kristen may not be a perfect match for Flyleaf, but I admire her for stepping up to try to fill Lacey's huge shoes. So no, I don't hate her, but I hope she can fit in better with the material she writes with the band. And of course, I wish Lacey well in all that she does :)

its an opinion. i hate seeing people say she sucks.. i was giving them something to consider since people are so hostile with the new singer for emotional reasons alone. . i get that emotions play a HUGE role in the success of a band, but there are other people, like me, who appreciate technical singers.

I'm trying so hard to like their songs! I want to support them and maybe buy their new album but I just can't get into it, I think Lacey was what did it for me. I wish them nothing but the best but I'm having a hard time adjusting. I am excited for lacey's upcoming album. She will be bringing her screams to it! :)

Lacey is for sure on of a kind. I am on the fence of the new singer only because Lacy's voice was just so awesome and unique. Listening to her sing all around me sounds to me like a good cover song but will not contain the same deep feeling as the original. I do give her props for making it her own by switching it up a lil bit.

I like her song, "Something Better"....but it's so weird, lol! I'm still a fan, but I'm not used to the change yet, so it's still a bit weird for me, lol! At least she did ok on "All Around Me" [the song that introduced me to Flyleaf some years ago :)]

The original vocalist, Lacey?, had a very different sounding singing voice. It fit very well with the band. Equivalent to how Serj and ZP Theart have very distinct sounding voices. This new girl, Kristen, is *obviously* a much better vocalist than Lacey. Clearer sounding, better vibrato, etc.. But, being a better singer and being a better singer for *said group* are 2 completely different things.

boy like to know what your smoking..Kristen is a better singer then Lacey??,,think not..Kristen cant even high the high note or even scream and growl like Lacey..That what made flyleaf so famous..Any of you guy ever heard of Kristens old band vedera?..Pop/indi band...and flyleaf isnt no pop/indi band..the christian alternative/metal...and all the fans are afraid that flyleaf could turn into pop/indi sound..I grew up in the 80s metal era..in 2000 been listening christian metal and heard flyleaf and was blown away to hear a christian chic that can scream and growl like that! WOW!!! very impressive,,,the only good rock like song that kristen band did vedera was the falling kind...the rest was lame..

+Joe Pinto Who can really define *better*? They're better in different areas perhaps but, by no means in talent. Having a larger range versus having a stronger core sound can't be argued, for it's 2 seperate vocal fields.

Nicholas Storey when you change lead singers,our changing the dynamics of the band sound and music...Like it did to Van halen and Blacksabbath..Lacey is like the lead singer of pantara...why am im comparing her to Phil Anselmo.of pantara is because she was a big pantara fan and that how she screams and growl on her music...by screaming and growling lets burst of feelings and emotions out.go look at her video about that..she explains about her screaming and growling.. ....Like Id said go chechout Kristens bandVedera videos....and you'll see why everyone is not happy with Kristen being in flyleaf...Her band is pop/indi sound..and flyleaf is christians alternative/metal... the only song that is good from Vedera is the falling kind...the rest are lame...Kristen has no feeling in when she sings..there no heart or sole in her music/singing/vocial...Lacey puts her heat and sole into her singing/vocial and music.....

I listened to Kristen May when she was part of Vedera and had their two albums. She has an awesome voice but it was a different sound than Flyleaf. I wonder if they will take Flyleaf to a different direction.
