Thanks for the reaction but this Vevo ist worse quality. On my Vimeo channel "Mayday" I have this video in HD ;)

[@aussiepie4865]

Amy Lee is the best female vocalist of the last 2 decades. She is so underrated by the industry and the public.

[@larrylindgren9484]

I was trying to think. Ronstadt was before her and was crazy good. Rimes was crazy good too. But before her. You might be right it's been a long time. She'll be one you miss when she's gone. But don't listen to when she here. Amy's problem she doesn't come out with an album every day like someone like Taylor Swift seems to. She gets lost. Too bad The Bitter Truth was very good and sold way less than I should have. It was better than 95% of the crap out there. Maybe even 98%.

[@WeFreestyleForever]

Whitney Houston is. And it's not even close.

[@thephenome1462]

Still remember listening to Evanescence in the mid 2000's. Now, as teenage boys, we didn't want to admit to listening to this, instead of rap and hip-hop tracks. But we all just fell head over heels for Amy Lee, and personally, she still has my heart in a vice grip to this day, along with Nightwish's Tarja. The way these ladies can appear both vulnerable and all-powerful is incredible, and it's a testament to their ability to project emotion through music. Amazing.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you at the Premiere of my new reaction video to NIGHTWISH tomorrow?

[@ShingenNolaan]

High five my man.

[@FacesByChelseaK]

I love this. All the boys I knew in the (ahem) early 2000’s (I’m old) loved Evanescence. It made me really happy to know that some of their favorite songs were by a female lead, with emotional and vulnerable lyrics. (And Tarja and Floor are amazing, too!)

[@TheDeaFiles]

I partied with Amy in KC years ago. The two of us has a BLAST singing with each other. Her vocal range is SIIICK! I was truly humbled.

[@Blackmjc]

Amy's voice was warmed a bit now that she's 41. She enjoys it, sounds a bit more Alto in areas and even more powerful belt and insane high notes. She sounds the same live and in album, it's crazy.

[@hughjanus9557]

There was always something special about Amy Lee. Phenomenal voice and seems so sweet!

[@damienmaynard8892]

Sweet! Yes! .....when drunk her humour is funny but quite dark at times - something a vet with PTSD can relate to!

[@nitro_001newman2]

She doesn’t sound like so many other singers like Beyoncé, and Christina Aguilera. Her vocals are very powerful but uniquely hers.

[@kerryherring563]

Speaking of lyrics....Evanescence has so much more going on than just what is on the surface. They have a narrative that runs through almost all of their songs. Basically she is living in a split reality/personality. "Going under" represents running away from the real world and its pain/tears. "going under" has many synonyms: sleeping, dreaming, dying, lying, not breathing/drowning, hiding and more. Of course, the opposite of those things means coming back to the real world. There is also a Gollum/Smeagol thing going on. In this song the 2 personalities are battling each other for control. The "60s radio" is Gollum and the normal voice is Smeagol. Gollum's job is to deal with the pain in the real world. When Gollum is in control Smeagol goes under. Once you see it, you will never listen to Evanescence the same again. It can get pretty dark.

[@SAND.FANGxx]

Damn, you just made me reconsider all the structure 😮

[@do.not.perceive.me.]

this is the first song i ever heard by them back in the day and recently had the opportunity to see them live; experiencing this song live was SO incredible. the whole venue sung along and it was amazing hearing all of us singing along with her. one of the best nights of my life by far.

[@luziel3071]

The face effect on Ben (the guitarist) at the end is I think a reference to how fame can change people and how it can affect the inner workings of a band.

[@martinhafner2201]

There is so much to enjoy about Amy Lee's voice and voice technique. She has amazingly tight pitch control, which is absolutely necessary against metal instrumentation and those big thick complex chords with gallons of dissonance. She is usually working a lot of dynamics while then locking into big fixed FF long notes. Her ability to hold long notes with no vibrato and then phase in light vibrato when it fits and not clash with the big chords is amazing. She runs her vibrato, it does not run her as I have seen with so many singers.

[@larrylindgren9484]

More than a few singers today use way too much vibrato. It not a good sound at all.

[@billtbodger]

This song has a lot of meaning for me, when it was released I was in the middle of a total breakdown and complete wreck, this song helped me a lot at the time but takes me back to those memories. I love the very last line on the full version "I'm NOT going Under", it gave me hope in some very dark days

[@stanmann356]

What amazes me about this video is how well she can act like she's belting while underwater, only two little bubbles gave away the fact that she wasn't singing the whole thing out loud.

[@TexasKoz]

Fighting through the voice programmed in her head. What a GREAT song

[@otakubancho6655]

Amy Lee could sing the phone book and make it sound amazing,the song that breaks my heart every time is My Immortal!💖💖💖

[@rumland]

Just imagine Amy floating in the woods looking like the underwater scenes from this video. It would be how I would imagine a Banshee.

[@jessi547]

Amy Lee has an angelic voice. Her vocal range is impressive. I went to see her live concert at KZbin Theater in Inglewood California. I enjoyed it so much.

[@GabrielleBraswell]

Can't wait to see it and congrats Maggie on juliard

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you! 😊

[@DarkPrinceEV]

Yes that IS Amy Lee and the greatness and uniqueness of her wide vocal range. She shines even when she doesn't try to 'sing' and use high notes and simply lets her voice flow. Please react to Speak to Me by her also End of The Dream (Synthesis version).

[@ccrider77]

This song and vocal performance literally gives me chills...

[@artiemeyer8803]

Might I suggest the Lzzy Hale and Amy Lee duet on the Halestorm song Break In. 2 incredible voices...

[@damienmaynard8892]

seconded!

[@gorramdarthkhal5615]

This!

[@Texaszebra82]

Her song Hi-Lo featuring Lindsey Stirling is amazing with the violin is the song that sends shivers through my body. But my favorite to sing to is Call me when youre sober.

[@trixiebella]

Great job Maggie. I love Amy's performance in this song! So deep and different! Glad you loved it!

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you so much! Sending you positive vibes. 💖😀👍

[@george93308]

I feel so old. This was 13 years ago. I thought you were doing something new. Glad you're discovering music we've known for a decade or more..

[@MarkoMakela-kk7qf]

I think this was one of the most memorable song s from early 2000's... and I do love if some grown up woman dear to use a ponytail... I do realize it wont fit all and so on, but oh boy oh boy when it does, it is just golden.

[@jf3832]

I'm so glad you had such a positive knowledgeable reaction to my favorite song from my favorite band, Evanescence.

[@slap_A_flamingo]

Loved all these early bands man. Fallen was and still is one of my favorite albums. You should check out Whisper, Haunted or Hello off it. When you listen to the old stuff and new stuff, you can definitely hear the evolution. Still amazing! Had such a huge crush on her when I was a baggy jeans, chain wearing teen. It was awesome!

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

Hello is such a sad song. One of my go-to's when someone dies.

[@slap_A_flamingo]

@@IllustriousCrocoduck I do agree but most of the album is like that. Think it's more about the quality of her vocals than anything else. I get that with My Immortal.

[@slap_A_flamingo]

@@IllustriousCrocoduck suppose Haunted would also be a good candidate?

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

@@slap_A_flamingo you're definitely not wrong!

[@slap_A_flamingo]

@@IllustriousCrocoduck just a great album. Can't call one bad track on it. Most albums from early 2000 you could listen to cover to cover.

Excellent piece of comparative vocal analysis. Thanks Maggie. Sorry I missed the premiere.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thanks so much for your comment. Can't wait to see you tonight! 🤗🌺

[@danieldavis1028]

You might like the best live performance of this song performed when she is older like search "Evanescence Going Undervlive from cooper tires driven to perform livestream". She is really feeling it in that performance. @

[@adnap]

I have an ex-girlfriend who was an opera singer, and she said this was one of the most difficult contemporary songs to sing live. You can just hear that it obviously requires a lot of breath control and lung capacity. The usage of vowels is tricky and not so helpful either.

My Inmortal!!!! That song is amazing 🤩

[@Петърчо]

My favorite Evanescence's song by far

[@FanaticEvanescence]

Lacrymosa or The End of The Dream Synthesis version, really mindblowing.

[@Blackmjc]

Also the end when Ben's face changes, there is a reason. Amy and Ben are the co founding members of the band and notoriously didn't get along, Ben wanted her out of the band and in the end he left the band in the middle of their first tour for their first album, Fallen, that had blown up big time. So that clip of him looking like one of the ghouls, says a lot.

[@AmandaSmith-zr8mn]

She has a really hauntingly beautiful song called October I think you would really like

[@shaunskelton2133]

I am so stoked that she is coming to Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Oh. With Korn this year.

[@vadymkvasha4556]

Maggie, you need go check accoustic live version, you gonnal love it!

[@DataCab1e]

I believe the "radio" effect is technically known as a "notch filter," which removes frequencies above and below specified limits, allowing only those which fall into a defined "notch" to pass. Edit: Whoops, got that backward. A notch filter _removes_ frequencies inside the notch. The correct term is "band-pass filter."

[@martinhafner2201]

If you saw it in a 10 band EQ on a sound board, it would look like a triangle with the peak at 1-2 khz and tapering down linearly in either direction. Known as radio or telephone effect. As heard in the Beatles "The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie" in Uncle Albert. It can be made narrower for severe effect or wider for a more subtle effect. There is so much fun to be had with sound systems.

[@LiesThatBind]

Guess you never listened to their debut album(Going Under is from that album). It's pretty much her singing like that on every song.

[@Cauin450]

Slipknot?! Miss Renee, I just had a mental image you reacting to Slipknot's Duality! Not exactly sure how to put my reaction into words, suppose I couldn't do your job! That video has to be one of the most chaotic they've ever done, and I'm not even talking about the song!

[@g-ed0818]

Let me kiss you a bit for having this song on this channel 😘😘

[@MrEdg]

Me encantan tus reacciones❤

[@jaywitt5171]

Hi Maggie - I want to suggest you react to Geddy Lee's voice of Rush. The song is 2112 from their career changing album in 1976 titled 2112 (like the year). This is a 7 part suite lasting 20:38 (like a Washington National Opera's 20 minute mini operas). Geddy plays 2 characters in this epic piece which talks about a future civilization ruled by priests, and a citizen who finds something strange and unknown - a guitar. The official Vevo version is a comic storybook with lyrics - you really get the full understanding of the story. Sometimes it's blocked - but you can just put up a picture - as long as you can see it. It will be a completely different experience from anything you've ever listened to. The Rush Army will be there to support you. Maybe you can find a group to produce this as a short opera - would be a great project for Julliard.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you on my Patreon?

[@rickybranch4547]

Going Under is tied to Bring Me To Life. In Going Under, she says "Don't want your hand this time, I'll save myself. Maybe I'll wake up for once" it was acted out in Bring Me To Life.

[@tyler6320]

She was inspired by different relationships for those songs and BMTL is about her current husband, so... it's an interesting thematic coincidence at most

[@GAZMAN2002]

You should listen to Good Enough the music video is great but the full album song has a stunning extended piano intro

[@UnknownPerson-rr5nz]

If you want to hear more of Amy Lee's low vocals, I would suggest The Only One, Good Enough, or Hello. Also, the cover of I want to dance with somebody that Amy Lee did during quarantine is so beautiful as well.

[@FanaticEvanescence]

Her lowest note is in With or Without You. Snow White Queen also has lower notes.
